My Hero Pokemon AU
Basic title because I cannot think but I’ve decided I’m just gonna go ahead and rewrite the entire plot of My Hero Academia (current anime) as if it was like... a spin off of the Pokemon Anime? Took place in Pokemon?
Pokemon AU but more than just what Pokemon everyone would have, it’s plot. I’m just not writing it.
This is going to get long and rambley and I have no cool art to pace it out I’m literally rewriting an entire anime plot, but if you’d be so kind as to stick with me that’d be super cool.
So basics are as basics do, Toshinori Yagi is the Pokemon Champion of this world. He’s like the Pokemon Master, he’s more than just a strong battler, he’s also helpful and spends his time growing the bonds between Pokemon and People, making Pokemon more common amongst a world where the idea of keeping a Pokemon for something other than battling was absurd.
There are three ways to get a Pokemon;
The most old fashioned being at 4-6 years old your parent or parental figure will give you an egg from one of their Pokemon, and it’s your job to care for it until it hatches. 
Likewise, a parent or parental figure can also simply pass down a Pokemon from their own team onto a child at age 4 or older. Typically the older Pokemon is more of a guardian for the young trainer than an actual partner
Finally, you can take a Pokemon Personality Test and be gifted a Pokemon by a local professor or even the champion if you reach the right requirements, and pay a kinda hefty fee.
The last option is what Katsuki Bakugou did on his 4th birthday. He was gifted a Cyndaquil. Unlike the usual timid behavior for it’s species, Katsuki’s Cyndaquil was constantly picking fights. The flames on it’s back were always full strength. The two were perfect.
Izuku’s parents were a little more old fashioned. His father is a traveling Pokemon Trainer who’s partner is a Flareon, while his mother’s partner is an Espeon. The two opted to pass an egg from their partners down to Izuku.
He was the only kid in his class who had an egg, and was bullied for it, as he was the only one who couldn’t battle. And of course, the greatest battler of his grade was Katsuki Bakugou, who’s Cyndaquil took out even hand-me down Pokemon.
Still, he believed in the greatness that would hatch from the egg, and cared for it diligently. When his Eevee hatched, the two already shared a closer bond than any other trainer at Izuku’s school.
Eevee, however, was not very strong. He didn’t win any battles at school, and Izuku tended to hesitate as a trainer. Despite his many notes on battling, he could never get the hang of telling Eevee what to do in time. Katsuki loked down at him because of this.
Here’s where I stop being a storyteller for a hot second; The log accident between Katsuki and Izuku is replaced by Katsuki’s Cyndaquil loosing a battle to a wild Pokemon and fainting for the first time. Katsuki wasn’t prepared for this, he didn’t have anything to make Cyndaquil better, and it was actually Izuku and his Eevee who chased off the wild Pokemon and found Oran berries to heal Cyndaquil.
Obviously, neither of them liked that. Because you know. Angy boy has to angy. So Katsuki and his Cyndaquil both hate Izuku and his Eevee for... helping them. Because they don’t need help. They’re strong all on their own. Fuck you Deku.
By middle school Bakugou is still the best battler in his grade and grades above, his Cyndaquil is now a Quilava, soon to be a Typhlosion, and he’s setting his sights on the elite Pokemon Trainers school; UA Highschool.
On the other hand, Midoriya’s Eevee has blatantly refused to evolve any time Midoriya brought it up, and is now more like a house pet than a partner Pokemon. Midoriya has also failed to catch any new Pokemon. He does, however, have notebooks on type advantages, teams, strategy, and move combos. Eevee and Midoriya spend hours researching the perfect next partner to match Eevee. They too want to go to UA.
But that’d be impossible for an unevolved Pokemon as weak as Eevee. And with no other partners to help out it seems like a pipe dream.
Enter All Might, Champion and Pokemon Master. Who’s secret star Pokemon is an unevolved Scorbunny.
In this AU it’s not the act of saving Bakugou from getting his Quilava stolen by a Team LOV Grunt that sparks Toshinori’s drive to train him; But instead, the sync he has with his Pokemon. Both he and Eevee ran into the battle, a loosing battle, against a trainer they could not beat, without saying a word to one another. They both HAD to help. They both HAD to battle.
The connection between Trainer and Pokemon is what really matters, especially when using One for All, which is like a Z-Crystal or Mega Stone. It acts a lot like the Sync moves from Pokemon Masters. The trust between Trainer and Pokemon is gathered and released in an all out attack. It comes with the backlash of draining a Pokemon and Trainer’s life force if used too much. Like a Life Orb in the games, but less number values.
Toshinori and his Scorbunny train Izuku and his Eevee to inherit this power. Any Pokemon can be strong, evolution or not. It’s all about trust and care. A true trainer wins with the Pokemon they like, as Toshinori’s master once taught him.
Okay this post is getting... ridiculously long and we’re barely though episode like 3 when I said I was rewriting the whole plot I meant it. Thankyou to all who have stuck with me thus far, I’ll speed run Class 1-A’s Partner Pokemon real quick for you.
Yuga Ayoama - Carbink he hatched from an egg, he hopes one day to see it evolve into a Diancie
Mina Ashido - Her first Pokemon is her Salazzle she got from a Personality test, but her always out of it’s Pokeball her partner is a Grimer she caught in middle school. She thinks she’s the cutest Pokemon in the world, and likes to dress her up. She also has a Sliggoo who loves hugs.
Tsuyu Asui - Her main Pokemon is her father’s Politoed, though she’s always surrounded by water types. She can be seen cradling Tympol and Poliwag like babies. She also has a Drizzile.
Tenya Iida - Current owner of the family’s Aegishlash after Tensei had the his team stolen and corrupted by Team LOV. Before then his number one Partner was a Shelmet, traded with his brother to evolve into an Accelgor just before the entrance exam for UA.
Ochaco Uraraka - Hatched a Ralts from her parents, upon entering UA it was still a Kirlia. After interning under the Ace Trainer Gunhead it evolved into a Gallade.
Mashirao Ojiro - Specializes in fighting types, his main Pokemon is a Mienshao, though he also has a Mankey and Monferno who are constantly fighting one another, Meinshao, being the oldest, is typically the one to break up these fights. The joke here is his Pokemon have more personality than he does.
Denki Kaminari - Pikachu from a personality test. It’ll evolve into an Alolan Raichu. He also has a Blitzle with Lighting Rod as it’s ability along a Tynamo and a Toxel (Amped) who are both still in training. Very baby.
Ejiro Kirishima - Wants to be a Dragon type gym leader. He has a Druddigon that hated him he caught in middle school, because that’s Crimson Riot’s ace Pokemon. His first Pokemon was his dad’s Gigalith who acts as a dad to his Druddigon.
Koji Koda - His first Pokemon was a Buneary he hatched. It hates him, to this day, it’s best move is Frustration. It wants to be a battler, they only went to UA because it signed up for this school behind his back. He wanted to be a Pokemon Breeder. He also has a Happiny and an Audino.
Rikido Sato - His mom gave him her Pikachu as a starter. It’s currently an Alolan Raichu from the amount of sweets he’s given it. He also has an Alcremie he nursed back to health when it was injured, and a Ribombee.
Mezo Shoji - Has his dad’s Cinccino, an Aipom, and a Grapplot. They’re all very calm and quiet Pokemon, usually just hanging off him in various ways. Cinccino will beat the ass of whoever didn’t clean their dishes in the dorms, though.
Kyoka Jiro - Toxtricity (Low Key) from her dad, and a Mime Jr. that’ll evolve into a Mr. Ryme. She wants to be a strong battler but she also wants to preform in Pokemon Musicals and Contests.
Hanta Sero - Bug type trainer, his two current out of the ball Pokemon are a Caterpie and Sewaddle that are always on his shoulders. His first Pokemon was a Grubbin, currently a Vikavolt. They all know string shot and like to cocoon him whenever possible. On the hunt for a Wurmple next.
Fumikage Tokoyami - His first Pokemon was an Inkay he befriended. Sense evolving into a Malamar it refuses to listen to him, tending to act on it’s own or even hypnotize him to keep him from getting in it’s way. He also seems to attract wild Murkrow whenever he’s outside.
Shoto Todoroki - His Pokemon will get full indepth looks later in the post just know his starter was a Tepig from an egg his dad gave him. The rest of his team are ice types like Weavile and Glalie. He also cares for his mom’s Frosslass and Frosmoth. His room is full of Snom.
Toru Hagakura - Has her mom’s Alolan Ninetails, along with a Kecleon that is almost always invisible. Her Kecleon and Tsyu’s Drizzle are best friends.
Katsuki Bakugo - Obviously his Typholsion which evolved during entrance exams. He also has a Magmortar, a Larvitar he’s training, and a Ferrothorn he has for type coverage.
Izuku Midoriya - We’ll go over the growth of his team in a second, just know for a very long time (around midway though where season 3 is) Eevee was his only Pokemon. Now he has a Breloom as well.
Minoru Mineta - Has a Crogunk from a personality test that poison jabs him everytime he says or does anything pervy like Brock from the Pokemon anime. He also has a Zygarde Core he claims is an extremely rare and very powerful Pokemon.
Momo Yaoyorozu - Magearna is her staple Pokemon, her father bought it for her when she was very little. She also has both a male and female Indeedee.
This is all current as of season 5 teams, so some backstory on where some Pokemon came from may happen later.
That took...longer than expected... Back to plot!
I can’t take too long to talk about the USJ Incident, because it’s not the biggest deal and I’d have to go into pro-hero ie Ace and Veteran Trainer’s Pokemon, along with League of Villain stuff so we’re gonna gloss over this for just a hot second.
Just know LOV is the evil team in this AU. They want to take down the Pokemon League, and AFO wants the OFA gem Toshinori passed down to Izuku.
Sports Festival aka Battle Tournament time:
This is mostly Shoto Todoroki growth and learning.
His father, Enji Todoroki, is an Elite Four member who wants to overthrow the Champion and take his throne. Of course, he never could, so he married rich, Rei Todoroki, and harshly trained his children to be Pokemon Champions.
Shoto’s Tepig, currently a Pignite, is a the direct offspring of Endevor’s Emboar, and he refuses to use it in fear it may evolve and become exactly like his father. Shoto only uses half his team, and distances himself from his one true partner to throw away his father’s legacy.
Pignite, however, demands to battle Izuku and it’s fullest, even when Shoto refuses to allow it.
Izuku is the one to convince him that it’s HIS partner! His FRIEND! That he can trust his Pignite and if he’s too scared to evolve it it doesn’t HAVE to evolve! It’s fine as a Pignite, it fights for YOU Shoto! Put your trust in your partner!
This pushes him to not only use Pignite, but the Pokemon his mother entrusted him with as well, such as her Froslass.
All the meanwhile, Iida discovers his brother, current leader of the Iida Gym, was attacked by Team LOV, his Pokemon were stolen, and he was gravely injured.
Team LOV uses Shadow Pokemon, Pokemon who have closed off their hearts to humans and attack without mercy. Battles end in death, for both the trainer and the Pokemon. Tensei is lucky to still be alive.
All that remains of his trusted team is the family’s Aegishlash, their Grandfather’s first partner, and a trusted Iida family member. Tensei, unable to fully battle without his full team, passes on the Iida family Pokemon to Tenya, along with the promise to one day guard the Gym’s name.
This arc is almost completely without Stain and I genuinely don’t know how to really... incorporate him correctly. His morals are kinda weird to me and getting that to work around Pokemon would be hard. So I’m just making him a Team LOV admin. Sorry Stain, I know you stand for better than this, but I just... Can’t work with it.
Queue Tenya Iida’s bad boy arc, as he goes hunting after Team LOV with plans to shut down the entire organization single-handedly.
Of course this doesn’t work out and he end up in a fight with Team LOV Admin, Stain, who proceeds to kick his teeth in using dirty tactics and shadow Pokemon. This is the most OOC thing that’ll be in this AU I swear I’m so sorry Stain...
During this fight Midoriya starts to really see the backlash of using OFA at it’s limit, as both he and Eevee end up passing out from exhaustion, allowing Stain to get away, landing them both in the hospital.
Grand Torino doesn’t have words to teach Midoriya how to use OFA correctly, he simply gives him an egg and is off on his way. He’ll figure it out, he’s a smart kid.
Izuku spends most of his summer training camp caring for this egg, while everyone else is testing battle match ups, double battles, rotation battles, along with facing against type disadvantages and, of course, catching new team members in the surrounding forest.
Which of course brings us to Team LOV’s attack on the Summer Training Camp, and I’m again going to try and speed run their Pokemon partners, and this time I will be sticking to the Pokemon they have as of the attack on the camp, rather than future teams. Meaning I’m skipping AFO entirely right now. Also Nomu are replaced entirely with Shadow Pokemon.
Tomura Shigaraki (Team Boss) - All of his Pokemon are acquired from AFO, including his main Pokemon, Giratina (Altered Form), Dusknoir, and Golurk. The only Pokemon he has of his own is Banette
Dabi (Team Admin)- His ace is a Charizard constantly in it’s Mega-X form. He also has a Shiny Ponyta, Lampent, and a Shadow Reshiram gifted to him by LOV
Toga (Team Admin)- Her ace is a Ditto that tries to transform into people rather than Pokemon. She treats it like a person and calls it her friend rather than her partner. She also controls shadow versions of The Lake Trio; Uxie, Azelf, and Mespirit
Twice (Team Admin)- His ace is a Zweilous, the two heads are constantly fighting and he’s back and forth on stopping them. He’s not a very competent trainer and tends to give double commands. He’s in charge of a Shadow Kyurem.
Muscular (Team Admin)- Could care less about his bond with his Pokemon, they’re all shadow Pokemon. Machamp, Heracross, Hariyama, and Conkeldurr. He also has a Buzzwole, though it doesn’t seem to be a shadow Pokemon.
Spinner (Grunt)- Scyther, Escavalier, and Shedinja.
Magne (Grunt)- Plusle, Minun, and a Morpeko. Supports Spinner in Double Battles, she’s not a direct fighter.
Mr. Compress (Grunt)- Mr. Mime is is ace, he also as a Mr. Ryme and a Clefairy. They all know Metronome and use it even when he tells them not to.
Mustard (Grunt)- Wheezing, Dustox, Stunky, and Amoongus. Very defensive.
Moonfish (Grunt)- Has too many Unown. Are they even his Pokemon? They just kinda surround him and attack all at once. He does not give them any commands. Is he even alive? He doesn’t seem to move much.
Moonfish, Mustard, and Muscular all get captured, their Pokemon are moved into protective custody, Shadow Pokemon are treated and rehabilitated. And of course, Bakugo is kidnapped by the evil team.
During the raid on Team LOV’s hideout, Ace Trainers, Gym Leaders, and Elite Four members manage to contain all shadow Pokemon and transport them to safer facilities, though with plenty of struggle.
All for One fight happens, and true anime style, Toshinori’s ace, Scorbunny, manages to take down AFO’s Giritina (Origin Form), allowing for his capture. With the cost of revealing to the world the toll OFA has taken on both Toshinori and his partner.
I wish I could find some way to talk about the Dorm episode because it and the first episode of season 4 are easily my favorite episodes. They’re just so cute, and it’d only be cuter with partner Pokemon and growing bonds and all that. Please take this moment to appreciate those episodes.
Moving into the Dorms is about the right time for Izuku’s egg from Grand Tirino to hatch! Surprise! It’s a... Shroomish?? Granted he’s a bit confused at first, but Toshinori helps a bit. He won’t just give him the answer of course. What kind of teacher does that?
Izuku realizes he can’t put too much of OFA’s strain on just his Eevee, he need to lessen the weight on his partner. He talks to Shroomish about it, explain how it works and says if he doesn’t want to battle, he doesn’t have to.
But of course Shroomish wants to battle! It wants great power and to be best friends with Midoriya and Eevee!
Shroomish evolves during license training, which I’m not 100% positive how to translate into this AU... I’m so sorry to both the Provisional License (which has some of the best characters) and Stain for just completely glossing over whatever it is you all do but I just wanna keep going I’ve been writing for 8 hours straight now.
Internships time. I know there’s a lot of really REALLY good characters in this arc. Super cool, full of personality and the ability to go ham wild on their Pokemon teams is diving me wild rn but like the story of this arc is also super wild so I’ll spare y’all my ten page essay on Fatgum’s Pokemon, unless you wanna come into my ask box and ask for that spesifically, I will give it to you.
We’ll just do The big Three and move on:
Mirio Togata - His starter was defenetly a Ghastly, currently a Gengar full of love and laughs. He also has a Togekiss, Gliscor, and a Heracross. They’re all very happy, fun loving Pokemon, who trust eachother and Mirio very closely.
Neijire Hado - She started with a Mareep, now an Ampharos, she’s also currently caring for a Smoochum, and a Vibrava. Her Pokemon are constantly full of energy.
Tamaki Amajiki - He got a Smeargle from his Pokemon Personality test as a starter, much like him his Smeargle is very shy about it’s art, only showing it to Tamaki, Mirio, and Mirio’s Heracross. Her also has a Skrelp who doesn’t like to battle, and a Drifblim he hides behind.
Eri is a little girl currently plagued by Darkrai’s nightmares. Overhaul is using these nightmares to create the serum that turns Pokemon into Shadow Pokemon. His goal is to separate people and Pokemon permanently.
Because of her constant nightmares, Eri is terrified of Pokemon, and is always weary around them, especally if they are bigger than her.
Just like in the main story, Mirio and Izuku run into Eri while on patrol, and immedetly know something’s wrong, but can’t do anything, letting her slip back into the hands of Overhaul.
The Yakuza, in this AU, run the Pokemon Daycare as a front, thus they have a lotta eggs. During the raid of the base, Twice’s Zweilious, evolved into Hydreigeon, finds and gets attached to one such egg. He eventually gifts it to Toga.
During the battles of the raid, Overhaul turns quiet a few Pokemon into Shadow Pokemon, including Nighteyes’ ace, Xatu, who in the rage induced by becoming shadowed, attacks and gravely wounds Nighteye.
Mirio’s team does their best as well, but his team are also stripped of their hearts and bonds. Even so, he keeps fighting. He pushes them to please, keep going, for Eri! So she can know the joy of having her own Pokemon some day, and be free of all this pain!
He manages to keep them fighting until Izuku shows up, though by then he’s taken the brunt of quiet a few of his own Pokemon’s attacks and can no longer stand.
When the dust all settals, the Shadow Pokemon are gathered and slept for their own saftey. Eri’s grandfather, the Yakuza Boss, is still in a coma. In his room police find an egg, a gift meant for Eri, her first Pokemon.
But she’s still too scared of Pokemon to accept it.
School Festival time; Time to go after Jiro’s true passion: Pokemon Preformances!
I have a personal weakness for the Pokemon Musicals from Black and White, and it fits this little section here where they all put on a concert with singing and dancing and the whole idea of Jiro and Denki’s Toxtricitys jamming together on stage is making me soft so like
That’s what happens
And it helps Eri get over her fear of Pokemon. Not entrily all at once, but for a moment, just a moment, all these Pokemon having fun, dancing and singing, wearing cute little clothes just... Makes her so happy! 
So.
That’s the plot thus far, as of anime standards, that’s about where I am and it’s almost all my thoughts. I have a few miscellaneous things to clean up, sense I know quiet a few manga bits, so feel free to stop here if your an Anime causual like me.
Also! If I didn’t include someone’s team and you’d like to know, or you want to judge me on my reasons for giving certain people certain Pokemon, send me an ask. I’ll gladly explain. I have explinations. A lot of them.
OKAY MISCELLANEOUS TIME NOW:
Eri’s egg from her grandfather has a Celebi in it, the cure to Shadow Pokemon. I’m not sure when it’ll hatch, but she takes care of it every day.
Mirio actually still has his team! They’re just shadow Pokemon now, so they rarely listen to him and often attack him. He doesn’t particapate in real battles anymore, for fear his Pokemon will hurt someone else, but he still trains and plays with them the best he can! He’s constantly covered in scratches and bites.
Dabi’s charizard was given to him as a Charmander by his dad. His father claimed he wasn’t a good trainer because he cared and cried too much when his Pokemon got hurt, and took the Charmander from him. In this AU, Dabi isn’t believed dead, he just ran away from home after taking his Charmander back.
Team LOV actually made Charizard X, as theories say it’s a man-made mega evolution form and I think that’s cool, and Dabi forced it onto his partner. Charizard ended up nearly killing Dabi with it’s sudden strength.
Kurogiri is a Shadow Marshadow forcibly possessing Oboro Shirakumo, he has no Pokemon of his own, nor does he battle. Shirakumo isn’t dead in this AU, just possessed. Kinda in a coma?
After Twice dies, Toga takes care of his Hydreigeon. The egg he gave her hatches after he’s dead, and it’s a Zorua. She tells it all about Twice, refering to him as the Zorua’s daddy because I just think that’s cute leave me be. Hydreigeon is a VERY good parental Pokemon to Zorua.
With the loss of Muscular, Mr. Compress is promoted to admin and given a Hoopa, which he chooses to confine to it’s smaller, weaker form. It’s the only legendary Pokemon that Team LOV has that isn’t a Shadow Pokemon.

I Want You || J. P.
Tumblr media
A/N - hapy valentine’s day !!! here’s a james fic <4
-
“oi potter!” you yell, jogging to catch up with the messy haired boy.
“l/n! what’s up? thought you and moony had detention?” he smirked, throwing his arm over your shoulder.
“arsehole, we got detention because of you, you know.” you stuck your tongue out, pushing the older boy off you, not being able to handle the close proximity.
it’s not that you didn’t love having james arm pressed up again you, it’s that you loved it a bit too much.
you knew logically it would never go anywhere, your sill little crush. not with the heart eyes james sent to evans every five minutes, surely he wouldn’t want you. you’re just another marauder, nothing truly special.
you sighed, your mood now dropping, and james picked up on it.
“is something bothering you love?” there it was, his stupid habit of calling all of his friends pet names, making your heart race and your cheeks flush.
“fine prongs, just a bit tired.” lies, lies and more lies.
“alright, let’s head back up to the dorms, i’m sure you can force pads to take a nap with you.” he laughed, and time almost froze. his laugh had to be your favorite thing about him, the way he threw his head back, his eyes scrunched up, and his entire face practically lit up.
damn, you’ve really got to get this thing under control.
despite your bad mood, you managed to smile at evans and marlene when you saw them in the common room.
nodding politely, waving a small wave, a few more steps and you’d be on your way to pads dorm and can quietly sleep off this feeling.
“potter!” bloody hell.
“sup evans? finally decided to agree to that date?” he winked, and no matter how good he looked, you couldn’t find it in you to acknowledge him.
you didn’t even bother to hear evans reaction, you simply walked off. normally, you’d smile and chat, or atleast tell the two goodbye, but it felt like you were about to scream, or cry, or maybe both, if you stuck around for another minute.
of course james would ask her out, of course she’d eventually say yes, how could she not? it’s james bloody potter, you’d be pretty stupid saying no to him.
you stalked angrily into the dorm, flopping face first onto sirius’ bed, not even bothering to look and see if peter or remus was there.
sirius moved from where he was on the bed, and a hand gently found itself in your hair,
“y/n? are you alright?” and you didn’t really have it in you to lie anymore, you looked up at him, tears in your eyes that you were too stubborn to let fall, and opened your mouth,
“y/n! what happened? you just walked off.” yeah, bloody perfect timing mate.
“nothing.” you grit out, pushing your head back into sirius’ blanket.
“oi, what did i do?” he sounded offended, good, be offended.
you sat up, finally facing the dark haired boy, looking him dead in the eye, judging by his surprised face, the tears in your eyes didn’t falter, and said
“don’t you have a date to get ready for?”
he eyes softened, a small smile coming to his face. you felt sirius move from behind you, but you weren’t sure if he left until you heard the door close.
“evans? no, you should know by now i’ll never go out with her.” he laughed, as if it was the funniest thing in the world.
“then why do you keep asking her?” crossing your arms over your chest, you were not pouting, by the way.
“it’s funny seeing her get annoyed with me,” he shrugged, “kinda like annoying you, but less fun”
you didn’t even have it in you to laugh, nor be offended. the stress and emotional toll of the day was heavily weighed on you now, you’d really appreciate it if james just left you to wallow.
“why so concerned about it anyways l/n?” he wiggled his eyes brows, which undoubtedly made him more attractive than it should have.
quite frankly you could blame it on potter being annoying, or the fact trhat you hadn’t eaten dinner yet, or even on the full moon that was coming up, but in reality the words just rushed out of your mouth, in a way you couldn’t control
“well you want to date her don’t you? you’ve been pining after her for so long you can’t see what’s right in bloody front of you.”
you didn’t have to look up to knwo that james froze, the way his breath hitched gave it away. you fucked up, oh god you fucked up so bad.
he knew, of course he knew. it was quite obvious. he’s going to hate you now, god he’s going to hat-
“y/n.” you heard him whisper, cutting off your anxious thought process, “look at me.”
no, you thought, it’s a bad iwa, he’s going to flat out reject you and you’re going to have to go cry to remus, again.
“y/n. darling, look at me please?” his voice was closer, softer, it made your insides flip in a way only james has ever made them.
you looked up meeting his brown eyes, there was a look in them, one yu coudlnt describe, ien you’ve never seen.
“you want to tell me what you meant? what’s right in front of me? ‘cause ill i’m seeing tis you darling” he’s got the half smirk on his face, he head tilted to the side in that joking manner he always had when teasing.
“bugger off.” you’ve had enough, standing up and walking towards the door, only for a hand to catch your wrist.
“y/n wait, i’m sorry. it’s not somethin to joke about is it?” spinning around, you shook your head, refusing to meet his eyes.
“james it’s fine, really. i-“
“no, it’s not.”
“it is! you like lily and it’s fine alright? you guys are so good tog-“
“there’s no way in bloody hell you think i actually like evans.”
“i- what.” confused, slightly flustered at the fact his hand was still on your wrist, and his eyes were now staring into yours.
“bloody hell y/n, i want you.”
you managed a good few seconds of complete nonsense rolling off you tongue before a proper word even managed to come out,
“what?” james laughed, more so giggled, shaking his head slightly.
“i want you, darling. have wanted you since 5th year actually.” he says it so causally, like this wasn’t what you’ve been dreaming of for the past year.
you very well may be dreaming right now.
“this isn’t real, it’s a joke right? maybe a dream even.”
“oi, it’s not a dream” he pouted, “i really like you!” his nose scrunched, his pout becoming bigger if possible. he’s a child, really.
speechless, is a word that would describe why you simply stared at his face, not really processing the fact that james potter, THE james potter, confessed to you.
his hand felt warm on your wrist, and his smile seemed to be twice as bright, only flattering as another minute went by without you saying anything.
“er- did i..misread this?” he awkwardly let go, taking a step back, but no, no, you just got him, you weren’t letting him go that easily.
your hands quickly flew to his tie, pulling his back infront of you, he tripped over his own two feet, and got closer than what you expected.
“no, no! i like you too! i um, just can’t believe it’s real.” you mumbled, cheeks flaming red.
he chuckled, and suddenly a hand was on your cheek, forcing you to look at him.
next thing you knew, his lips were pressed against yours. warm, and real, and he tasted a bit like mint and chocolate.
before you had the chance to kiss back, he smiled, pulling away slightly
“believe it now darling?”
you rolled your eyes, “fuck you potter,” before pulling his lips back to yours, properly kissing the boy youd dreamed of for months on edge.
the kiss was everything you could have imagined and more, the way his hand gently cradled your neck, as the other found its rightful spot on your waist, drawing you closer. the way his lips felt so sweet agaisnt yours, you practically wanted to melt into his arms and never let go.
and when he pulled back again, his eyes looked as if they were filled with stars. his smiled gentle, soft, and everything that screamed james.
and even if this was a dream, you’re pretty happy with how it turned out.

hello! I've been following you for a while but I'm really intimidated by you👀 I wanted to just tell you that I really admire you. The way you admire kyun! That kind of admire. You get a lot of anons who are a waste of space and I knwo you've said you delete most of them but even the ones you answer your self control is😂 couldn't be me. But you coming online and still doing whatever you want and just being you even despite these shitty people is really nice to see. I hope they don't get to you
because you're overall a very happy and postive person on this app and you are probably one of the most if not one of the only genuine people on this app and you're an open book. You say when you're sad you say when you happy even if it's minutes apart and I admire you for that. Not to mention the relationships you have with anons or follower. I've seen some blogs interact as if they're followers are their fans and you have special tags for nearly everyone and you know everyone's name and you make it so special and normal. You are what I consider a "big blog" but you are so down to earth and thank you for being a friend, a big sister, an angel, an escape, and a safe place for many of us. 💛 You're basically all you mx tags combined in one. Especially the kyun tags, "you are my sun, my moon,and all of my stars" that one. Because you shine bright and you bring a lot of positivity and happiness to many people not only me I'm sure. Take care of yourself okay?
I'm sorry this isn't under read more it's early I'm on mobile and yeah.
Oh wowowowow;; firstly this made my whole morning. It's super early but this was really nice to read. I don't know what to say oh my gosh. I surely don't deserve this;; that I can say djsjd. Thank you really. I am nothing special and I don't think it's hard to spread some kindness and love. Me remember a few peoples name can mean a lot to someone for all I know if that makes sense. As for me being a "big blog" that doesn't make me popular or anymore worthy than others on this site. It's literally tumblr me coming online acting as if I'm a celebrity would be highly unrealistic and make me uncomfortable for starters and I'm sorry (?) you've seen blogs like that. I just come online and say what I want sometimes I'm highly depressed about to make a comment about drowning as bad as it sounds and I dig myself out of those hopes so when in happy I will make it know too. It's good to look back on sometimes especially when you don't think you'll make it through.
Seriously;; thank you for this and everything you've said. It means a lot. Anon hate is anon hate they can't hurt me too extreme (I hope so) sjsjs. But I really won't let anyone tear me down too much. I've seen and been said much worse to by my own parents at some point in my life so to let an anon get to me? 😔😣 NOPE. nsnsjs. Ahh;; I appreciate this and thank you for it all. I don't deserve this because truly I don't think I'm doing anything special or worth praising but thank you.💛
Also!!! It makes me really really happy that I and/or my blog makes you happy and brings you comfort. I can't explain how nice that is to hear but also;; please know that you and many other anons make me happy with these small messages. to you they may be just another ask etc but they mean so so so much to me especially on hard days and I can't thank you enough. 💛💛💛💛
you take care to yourself pls okay?? eat well even if it's small or just snacking and drink lots of water pls🥺💛
I also think it's important to know people who seem to have their shit together aren't okay and I got a lot of shit for saying I was lonely once because "I talk to so many people" but that doesn't change the fact that somedays you battle yourself big or small💛

Tumblr media
It’s been a long year everyone, but at last we have arrived. RWBY Volume Eight. This is the fourth volume I’ll be doing text reviews of, which feels crazy. I’ve been watching this show more or less form the start, and I can safely say that this is the most scared I’ve ever been. Not because of the quality, I have high hopes for that. But we know how the last volume ended. We knew that it was going to carry over into this one. And it was even MORE tense than we expected. It’s gonna be one heck of a Chapter 1 review, I can say that.
Before that, we have a new opening! Sadly, to my knowledge, the song title hasn’t been announced yet. But other than that... oh man. There is a LOT to unpack here. SO much to analyze. So much to speculate. Once more Jeff and Casey gave us a banger, and Casey was NOT kidding when she said it was dark. But before we proceed any further, let’s get the disclaimer out of the way
(Warning: This post WILL contain spoilers for RWBY V8 Chapter 1. If you have yet to see the episode and do NOT wish to be spoiled, PLEASE scroll past this post. You have been warned.)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We begin seeing Mantle int he state we’re used to, but it glitches. The blues and whites shift into reds, fires and chaos are widespread, and the Grimm are wreaking havoc. This is going to be what Mantle looks like the moment that Salem strikes the city. The one watching this all unfold? Ruby. She failed to stop Ironwood and the division between our heroes, Atlas, and Mantle is greater than before. The poor girl can only watch in horror as Mantle burns, Atlas continuing to hover above... for now at least.
Tumblr media
The theme oft the volume, contrast to last volume’s themes of trust and fear, is mistrust and division. The first chapter demonstrated this, but I’ll save that for then. But here? We have the logo causing a divide between Ruby herself, and all of her allies. I could be reading into this too much, but I do have to wonder... si something going to happen that causes Ruby to strike out on her own? Do things go badly and she’s the only one who doesn’t quit? Does the pressure get to her and she does something that causes everyone, ever her own teammates and sister, to turn their backs on her? It’s hard to say, but I don’t think that Ruby is coming out of this 100% the same.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Ah, isn’t this nostalgic? Our girls really have come far. Ruby went from a naive, innocent girl with an overly idealistic dream to a true Huntress who wants to make lives better after witnessing how bad it can really be. Weiss when from a spoiled rich girl suffering form neglect and a controlling father, to a defiant young woman determined to reclaim her family name her way. Blake has gone from a frightened girl to a woman broke free of her abuser’s control and is fighting for both equality and for her loved ones. Yang was a confident, yet reckless girl with abandonment issues and while she went through great loss, she came back even stronger and shining even brighter.
The girls have changed. They have grown. They’ve lost their innocence along the way, but they survived and kept moving forward. But while they could, another failed to do the same...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The general has completed his descent into villainy. He is now a cold, heartless tin soldier who is willing to take any step he deems necessary to protect Atlas. Even if it means cold-blooded murder. Even here, there is nothing but coldness in his eyes and as the shadows engulf him, we see the image of Atlas fall into ruin. We also see Clover’s badge, and the images of his remaining teammates and Qrow. Marrow in particular just looks uncertain about everything, a major contrast to how upbeat he was last volume. Harriet... just looks like she has been consumed by hate and rage. And if I had to guess, it’s going to be aimed at Qrow. She may claim to not be friends with her teammates, but losing Clover is going to have some very, VERY bad affects on her and the others. Especially under Ironwood’s influence.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We see Qrow downcast before Robyn offers him a hand in support. Yeah, think it’s safe to say that these two are gonna launch some kind of prison break. Looking forward to it~! Then we cut to Oscar, clutching his head and looking like he is in pain. He’s surrounded by Grimm and it looks like he’s int he Grimm Whale. We know that Salem is after him, so... yeah, my concern is VERY high. Also we see Salem in a new form and... umm... the apparition of her in V5 has now been topped in... help us world.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Returning to the theme of division, that seems to be central especially for Ren and Nora. Last volume, they were in conflict with Nora unable to get Ren to open up, even after they finally kissed. Here? It seems the drift is only going to grow. Ren glances at Nora, before facing away. Nora had been facing away, but then she glances back at Ren before turning around. She just looks so upset and pained as she stares at the man she loves. Along with Nora willingly splitting from Ren in Chapter 1... it’s gonna be a ROUGH volume for Renora shippers everywhere.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We come to the Schnee Family. Weiss and Winter walk past each other. At first, Winter looks like her usual, composed self. But as she passes her sister, her attire changes to have her new cybernetic features. her composed expression shifts into one of sadness and maybe even guilt. Weiss seems to notice, looking up with wide eyes before the scene shifts. We know that the two will be in conflict now due to their opposing sides, even though neither clearly wants to be. Chances are they’ll meet face-to-face again, and it is NOT going to go well as they must decide whether or nit to fight each other on their respective sides.
Then we see Whitley and Willow. No Jaques, though we know he will be appearing. Willow continues to look tired and depressed, and I can only hope that somehow SOMETHING goes better for her here. But then we have Whitley. Despite his role being minor, Whitley got hit a heavy blow with Jaques arrest curtesy of Weiss. But here he looks like he’s trying to look calculative... but his fear is shining through. The kid is in a bad place and I doubt that he’s broken form his father’s control. Will Weiss help him out of it? or is it too late?
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Then we shift to a chess board. We have Salem, her pawns all ready and charging ahead with their attack. Now I knwo nothing about Chess, but clearly the Queen is winning. Ironwood is on the opposite side, all of his chess pieces fading into dust as the board breaks away. He stands alone, completely open to checkmate. The King is about to be overthrown. Ironwood has driven off hsi allies, and the remaining are likely either going to soon follow or fall to Salem’s forces. For all his efforts to save Atlas, all that he is done is secure it’s downfall, as well as his own. Yeah, even if by some miracle he realizes his mistakes, I don’t think that James is coming out of this alive, and it will all be by his own doing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We see Watts being Watts, typing away. I have to wonder... does he somehow escape form custody? Or does ironwood willingly let him free for his side? The guy is desperate, he’ll do anything to win, even strike up a bargain. Which Watts would absolutely take and use the access for his own means. Maybe even some hacking...
Then we have Pietro, himself hard at work. Behind him is a mirror, and his reflection turns to look at Penny. Compared to the bright smile she had int he last opening, Penny looks scared and dishearted. She is looking at her hands, closing her eyes as though in resignation. We see her reflection glance at her. To just increase my fears of a potential ‘Watts hacking Penny’ theory, here are some images from later in the opening.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The first has Penny up above the heroes. At first I thought it was just her flying up to get into a battle stance. I didn’t realize how she was facing the gang face first. Right in front of Amity, and in between Atlas and Salem. Then from the tail-end, we have this 2D effect showing her eye. It goes from the usual green color, to a bright red, which soon engulfs the rest of the lines. Yeah... I know I panicked about Penny getting hacked last volume... but I am even moreso now! 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
A snowflake falls into Ren’s palm before promptly meting. Due to the color fo his glove, it looks like a flower petal. He looks down at it forlorn. Jaune puts a hand on his shoulder and he, Yang, and Oscar are there. Btu the support doesn’t do anything to change Ren’s expression. We then see a flower petal fly by Nora, who tries to catch it. She fails, but Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Penny appear at her side. This perks her up as she gets into a battle stance. Once more, emphasizing the divide between Renora and showing us our current team dynamics. They have separate goals, but they aren’t divided... at least, not right now.
Tumblr media
Then we have this shot of Ruby and Yang. I’ve bene predicting for a while that there was going to be a conflict between this two. They have VERY different ways of handling things, and last volume made it clear that while she stood by her, Yang was having doubts about Ruby’s decisions. I’ll go more into that when I review Chapter 1, but I am hoping that this shot shows that no matter what issues they have between them and even if they end up arguing, they WILL work past it. They’re still sisters. They still love each other. They still ultimately have the same goal. No matter what happens, they will be there for each other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After a really cool battle sequence (I’d post the pics but this si already a MASSIVE post), it freezes. When it does, we see Cinder walk past it. At first, she is displaying the demeanor that we expect from her. Confident, egotistical,a nd wearing that sick smirk on her face. You know the one. She also walks past neo and Emerald. Neo looks exactly what we expect, annoyed. Emerald looks more optimistic though, also expected. I think it’s safe to say that Neo’s gonna turn on Cinder fairly soon, especially after Chapter 1. But will Emerald? We’’ve been hoping, but will this be the moment she finally realizes that Cinder doesn’t care about her and get out? Only time will tell.
But Cinder’s usual smugness stops when she grabs her arm in pain and screams. Her Grimm Arm. As many have noted, the arm has slowly been consuming her body. It went form just up to her elbow, to now engulfing up to her shoulder. Not to mention Winter managed to slice it off, and it grew back in a pretty violent manner. Given what we saw in the start of the episode, it looks like we may FINALLY be getting the Cinder backstory and truly understanding her motives. I think that Cinder will reach a breaking point in this volume. One that is NOT gonna be pretty or do our heroes any good.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
We get the usual villain lineup which ends at Salem, We get a close-up of her eyes, and in them are the Relics. No shock that those are what she’s aiming for. Then we see both the Lamp and the Staff, and they both glow and let loose the blue smoke. It brings up a question... we all know that the Gods will be summoned if all four are brought together. But what would happen if two are brought together? If the two are used together, what will it cause? Either way, both of them are gonna be vital in whatever happens.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The image glitches again, going form the  Grimm devastation to Ruby looking out at Atlas. She is with the others, her scythe being use to cause a division line between the two current groups (as seen in the top image). Then, the ice cracks beneath her feet. She and the rest of Team RWBY fall into the depths below. Remember that scene in the V6 opening when Qrow got dragged down by Grimm arms? And how that symbolized his conflict int he season as he endured a downward spiral? Well... it might be Team RWBY’s turn.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The girls fall into the water, sinking into the abyss. But there are light particles surrounding them, and Ruby opens her eyes to see the light above. The source? The Staf fof Creation? She reaches up for it, only for a group to Grimm arms to grab her and keeping her from going upward. The lyric accompanying this is “Sometimes it’s worth it all to risk the fall and fight for every life.” Could this hint to Ruby deciding to use the Staff to stop Salem? If she does, then this will guarantee Atlas’ Fall f she makes even a minor mistake. Is that a risk that she is willing to take? What will happen if she does so? How will her team react? Will this cause a greater divide? Like I said, Ruby ain’t gonna have a good time in this volume...
Then we have the following words appear.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Happy Ever After. The same words we see at the end of every fairy tale. But life isn’t a fairy tale now, is it? The words get crossed out and twisted. Until at the end, we are left with...
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Yeah... if you needed more proof that this volume was going to be dark... here you go.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We end with the girls weapons landing at the bottom of the abyss. The last to do so is Crescent Rose, and we cut to it emended in the ice with the moon behind it. It’s a shot that reminds me GREATLY of Ruby’s first ever appearance in the Red Trailer all those years ago. And aas the petals scatter, we have the credit to Monty Oum. Your show has come so far Monty, hope you’re proud right now.
This opening was fantastic! The song sounds like a VERY twisted version of Lets Just Live, being about the heroes realizing the true horrors of their world but there’s no real motivation to keep living this time. Now it’s all about how bad things have gotten, and ends with wondering if sometimes, it’s best to take a risk to save everyone. As far as where I rank this, song-wise it hasn’t topped Let’s Just Live, Rising, and Trust Love, but I think it’s beaten the other four. That can always change though. Animation wise... I’m still trying to decide if it’s topped Opening 7 or not. But it is very, VERY good. The fact that they managed to make it look this good despite the work-at-home environment is commendable.
And... that’s it! I hope you all enjoyed this! The review for Chapter One will be coming soon. But for now, thank you all for reading, and let’s get ready for one Hell of a volume~

lady gaga voice slowly fadin in: ju-Das juda-ah-ah… this depressed goblin bastard is honestly my fav male muse like i dnt typically stick w male muses tht long i struggle bt................. i’ve played him the longest of them all n always seem to return to him. jst cnt stay away. way 2 attached to this absurd little man. it’s nai btw!!!! (josefine on the main). launches right in to jude’s intro without further adieu..... (u can also find his playlist here) 🧙‍🎨
「douglas booth & cis-male」⇾ hayward , jude, the senior radcliffe student’s records show that he is a pisces and 23 years old. he is studying ART, living in moris and can be protective, laidback, nonsensical & apathetic. when i see him i am reminded of wearing a faded smiley face sticker on your forehead while receiving a serious lecture, saying “fuck off” to inanimate objects, lead marbles instead of eyes. ⇽「nai & 23 & gmt & she/her.」
he pinterest:
me in the voice of a card magician performing on the street: round up round up pick a pinterest any pinterest!
ta-da it’s aesthetics:
lead marbles instead of eyes, a stolen hearse careening down the wrong lane, wearing a faded smiley face sticker on your forehead while receiving a serious lecture, bags under the eyes that are so big they could pack enough clothes for a three week vacation, a cigarette wobbling from your bottom lip as you squint against the sunlight, passing out on a stranger’s rooftop, placing sunglasses over the eyes of a biology lab skeleton, gangling around the place like shaggy minus his scooby snacks, saying “fuck off” to inanimate objects
about tha Bitch:
born in sheffield in england, bt they went back and forth between there n san fran a lot
jude was an unhappy accident. his parents never rly used protection bc they were super Liberal n Au Naturel n believed in the pull out method bc… they were maniacs. bt then the ONE time they used a condom in an effort to b safety conscious it broke n hence…. jude was born
they just kind of ran w it bc they had such a passionate relationship tht they were like What The Hell…. may as well! itll be fine we’ll learn to be good parents n love him like normal ppl do
spoiler alert: tht didn’t work out
they were ok to him like they weren’t fully Bad bt they just found him to be a massive burden n hindrance to their plans. pretty absent n irresponsible. they literally….. had sex all day every day n acted like a pair of teenagers. it ws a super weird environment for a kid to grow up in bc he literally had no role models or… guidance or…. anything rly. occasionally they’d joke around w him or pretend they properly knew what grade he was going into but for the most part they just Didn’t Care the way parents shd. they lost his birth certificate n dnt remember what they put as his middle name so he’s jst kind of like hmmmm............. n gives himself a diff one every time ppl ask. past variations hv included: jude pauly hayward, jude maureen hayward, jude van winkle hayward. says all of these w a very straight face
despite this he does hv some nice memories w them. usually he definitely sees them fr holidays. frm being rly young their christmas tradition hs been to get a bunch of chinese food like a Banquet Feast n spend all day smoking n drinking into the early hours. perhaps not the healthiest or most responsible bt 😔 jude rly likes it it’s kind of the one time of yr he feels he has a proper family
they r both suuuuper into the arts. rly good sculptors bt they paint too n they actually own a successful gallery in sheffield n san fran
(trauma tw) as a result he grew up around a lot of creative n sometimes pretentious ppl. the friends of his parents were more present in his life than his ACTUAL parents bc they were always jetting off to diff countries to scout out new pieces fr their galleries n just have a gd time in beautiful places without…. the annoyance tht ws being responsible n looking after someone. tbh some of his parents friends were rly damaging too bt….i won’t go into that just yet. it doesn’t rly…need properly explaining bc jude never talks abt it anyway n it….is rather triggering so i’ll jst….leav it for now tbh. basically they just were Not Nice n jude had a lot of bad memories he keeps repressed bt he also??? has some gd ones..... it was a strange environment bt he’s a survivor
(death n grief tw) he hd to do community service bc he kind of… hd a bit of a breakdown before the funeral of his elderly neighbour who bsically raised him bc her kids rly didnt care abt her they jst wanted her inheritance?? so he… stole the hearse w her casket still in it n ws jst like… drivin around the place sort of… tryin nt to cry…..KJJFHSFKJGHKFG i mean. it isnt funny its actually sad bt :/ in a very bizarre n jude way. he gt caught n taken in fr questioning bt her son kind of realised hw… broken up abt her death jude ws n had a heart n didnt press charges. regardless he stil hd to do community service bc it ws like taken seriously even tho it ws his first proper offence. doin it rly exhausted n depressed him so when he wsnt doin tht he ws just hibernatin in his room……. this ws like 4 months ago nw............ just some fun lore fr u all
bc of how he ws raised he has a p cultured taste. he luvs classic lit n p much anything artsy. he can play piano 2 n sometimes gets rly high n thinks he’s mozart level gd at composing he’s jst going fking wild on the keys in a trance...... i mean he’s gd bt… chill
he’s rly sarcastic n so deadpan like he’ll say smthn completely ridiculous bt he’ll say it w his whole chest so sincere.... it’s rly hard to tell when he’s joking or serious honestly. has an overflowing secret sketchbook n if he cares abt someone he’ll probably secretly draw them. does NOT share these drawings w the person he hates being openly sentimental. at heart he is jst a very Sad Boy w lots of repressed issues like depression genuinely just does NAT giv him a single break bt he plasters over this w wise cracks n never discusses his emotions ever. he’s actually p decent or at least tries to b. he’s kind of like tht bit in superbad where michael cera gets rly drunk n makes a toast to women like tht energy...........
he has rly bad insomnia so he like never sleeps idk how he’s Alive straight up. please go to bed sir............. he always has rly sleepy eyes n rubs them tiredly mid conversation. he smokes a lot of weed to try n compensate fr this n make him tired bt he still struggles a lot
ANYWAY that aside he’s at radcliffe doing art, focusing on fine art like painting is............... the thing he luvs most...... his style is kind of.......... taking normal things n painting w surreal colours.... he likes A LOT of colour in his paintings which is kind of a stark contrast to his personality bc his world’s so.... washed out n grey............ lovs art n philosophy n literature n photography n music.... 
ummMMMMmm honestly idk i’m blankin on what else to say. ull find him smoking weed reading an american classic or gnawing at his thumbnail n getting charcoal smudges on all his clothes. wandering the streets in plaid pj bottoms n dr martens eating frm a cereal box without care in the world. he’s p broody n scruffy n he’s mostly here fr a laidback time....... doesn’t rly like when ppl take themselves too seriously........ likes strange ppl thinks the world is mde richer by them n likes when ppl can jst bounce back jokes at him without being like erm. u dont make sense mate. bc frankly he can come up w some strange stuff sometimes.............. talking to him cn b like navigating a dark n bendy road without a flashlight....... 
(drugs tw) once did shrooms n woke up naked in the woods curled up in a pile of leaves. to this day he recounts this as his werewolf transformation. hs no idea hw he ended up there n when ppl r like are u not. concerned jude. tht is so strange? he jst shrugs like.............. dunno....................... suppose i’m jst a werewolf upon occasion. so casual abt it. jst truly does Not care abt most things at all..... almost to the point tht it’s concerning (sometimes way past the point tht it’s concerning too :/)
this is the desc on an aesthetic i mde of his style once n sums it up well!! ‘additionally: too many pairs of trousers, a hideous amount of white t-shirts all somewhat stained with charcoal, a jumper so thinly knit it almost looks sheer, chipped teale nail varnish, a cream corduroy jacket with a cigarette hole singed onto the cuff, vintage wiry reading glasses he almost never wears, a freshly rolled cigarette behind his ear, a thrifted t-shirt with a warped bart simpson wearing a stethoscope with the caption ‘bard knwos cardiology’ and two crops hacked that way with kitchen scissors that he sometimes wears to paint.‘
EXPERT at rolling spliffs like jst. mkes them so precise n neat....... it’s his super power. his fav thing to smoke frm is banana flavour papers.................... linking 2 this he’s like. bad w emotions bt he does try..... once his friend (maggie) ws sad so he brought her a spliff wrapped in grape flavoured paper bc it’s her fav fruit n jst like. wordlessly gave it to her. it’s the thought tht counts.....
PLOTS!!!!!
plays bass in a band which cld b a fun connection to get together??? i picture the music being like surf rock type like........... mac demarco...... bt he also luvs elliott smith n glass animals n the cure n metronomy n neutral milk hotel n talking heads n radiohead n mazzy star n wolf alice...................... idk jst like.... within tht ballpark i suppose i imagine it being................
mayb ppl he shares classes w?????? i’d like someone tht does a similar course n they hang out tgether when it comes to trips fr the module to museums or exhibits or wtever................ they both stand in front of paintings analysing it rly wrong n saying stuff like hmmmmmmmmm....... i do declare i see a, uh..... large phallus protruding from the centre of this image...... moves something in me.......... n some elderly person looking at it besides them is like Ergh. sickened n disgraced. leaves w a brow severely furrowed
someone he smokes w on the moris rooftop late at night when he cnt sleep??? mayb they’re up n cnt sleep either fr whtever reason n it’s become an unspoken kind of ritual where they always clamber out n find each other there n jst wordlessly keep them company
jude is kind of like. protective almost to a fault sometimes........... mayb some guy he’s punched......................... if they hurt someone he cares abt........... typically it wld hv been a girl he ws kind of like. affected by his first relationship bc she had a bad home situation n ever since jst wnts..... to Protect it’s kind of like an automatic instinct ingrained in him nw 😔 all sounds very noble n well bt sometimes it cn b a bit of an escalation i wnt lie
perhaps a few hook-ups??? jude doesn’t tend to sleep w ppl he rly knows bc he just..... likes it to b an impersonal thing doesn’t like getting attached fr various reasons so mayb they only kno each other via this OR mayb he bent his rules a bit..... cld either work seamlessly or hv added drama if one side hs mre feelings or whtever
currently living in moris w 2 roommates bt i’d love some neighbours perhaps..... mayb someone tht lives directly nxt door to his room n is like ://// bc he plays music loud n weeds always drifting frm his window n mking their room smell if theirs is open too................. or mayb they get on..... mayb there’s a rly mean seagull tht lands on a branch n poos on pedestrians n they both commentate on it frm their windows like david attenborough...... they’re like he’s at it again. they’ve named him n everything
HONESTLY anything if u have an idea hmu i’d love 2 hear it.......... rubs my hands tgether in excitement to plot up a storm w u all

Notes: In this chapter we have some very special moments, so I hope you enjoy it!
As usual, it wasn't beta read, so let me knwo if you find any mistakes (likely prepositions, because I apparently never learned how to properly use them...)
                                                       ***
Chapter 11
“What are you concerned about, Your grace?”
Jon squirmed on the saddle, even if he had no need to change his position. “My Lady?” He asked, as if he had no idea what she was talking about.
Susan arched a brow, but didn’t repeat her question.
“It’s nothing.” Jon said, then cleared his throat. “I’m not comfortable with leaving people behind.”
“You mean you are not comfortable leaving Sansa alone with my brother.” She corrected dryly.
Jon cleared his throat again. “Something like that.” He admitted.
“And you thought you and Peter had nothing in common…” She drawled.
Jon turned his head to look at her. “What is that supposed to mean?”
“You know exactly what it means.” She threw at him, before hurrying her horse along.
XxX
Peter didn’t care for embroidery, but there was something so calming and beautiful to watching Lady Sansa and Lucy doing it. As they sat and talked and laughed, their work took form and became more intricate.
He could be there merely guarding them, but he also enjoyed watching it.
“Should I make you a handkerchief, brother?” Lucy asked him.
“I already have enough of those.” He chuckled. “Could you make me a Narnian banner? So it can go on my cape?”
Lucy hummed. “I could do that. But I’ll need the cape.”
Peter stood up. “I can go and get it for you.”
“No need!” Lucy stood up quickly. “I’ll go for you. Keep Lady Sansa company. I’ll be right back.”
She smiled prettily to both of them and left so fast they could barely object to it.
Peter seemed amused. “Did my sister just abandon her responsibilities as chaperone?”
Sansa had a grin on her lips, even if her eyes were fixed on her work. “I believe she did it out of love for you.”
Peter didn’t think the King would see it that way, but he was pleased by the chance of being alone with Lady Sansa. “Do not worry, my Lady. I can assure you I have no intention of moving.” He told her, certain that he should reassure her.
He’d already told her how he felt, and he had no intention of pressuring her in any way. Peter had promised her he wouldn’t, so he wanted her to be comfortable on his presence.
But then… Sansa stopped what she was doing and raised her eyes to him. “Why not?” She asked.
Peter felt his mouth drying up and he did hear the King growling somewhere in the back of his mind, but in face of Lady Sansa’s beautiful eyes, it hardly mattered.
He cleared his throat. “May I sit by you, My Lady?”
She gave him a small smile. “Yes, you may.”
Peter got up and sat on the chair that Lucy had vacated, directly in front of Sansa.
“Did you have a sweetheart in Narnia, Lord Peter?” She asked suddenly, going back to her work.
“No, Lady Sansa. Susan tried to marry me off many times, but she never found someone she approved of, and neither have I.” He replied honestly.
Sansa gave him a short look, before going back to her work. “You’re good-looking, Lord Peter. I find it hard to believe the woman in Narnia didn’t notice it.”
“So you find me good-looking…” He observed.
Sansa didn’t answer, just snorted, so he continued. “There was always so much to be done.” He told her. “So much work and responsibilities… I used to fancy a Dryad called Moira when I was much younger…” He chuckled. “She broke my heart.”
Sansa giggled. “What’s a dryad?”
“They’re tree spirits. Moira was particularly pretty, but they don’t care much for romance, especially with 15-year-old Kings.” He told her dramatically.
“Oh stop it! You’re teasing me now!” She finally abandoned her embroidery to give him her full attention.
“I’m not, My Lady.” He insisted. “Ask Susan or Lucy. They thought it was hilarious. Narnia has many magical creatures, some of them are quite charming.” He teased slightly.
“So Moira broke you heart so badly you never wanted to meet another?” She teased back.
“And there were battles and things to do…” He confirmed. “I won’t say I’ve never flirted with other women before, but none of them were true sweet-hearts, and it was nothing but talking.”
She hummed nonchalantly. “I see.”
“Therefore, you have no reason to be jealous, My Lady…”
“Jealous?”
“My heart is yours and yours only.” He finished with a smug grin.
“You’re terrible.” She informed him.
“Yes, but you’re smiling, anyway.”
She was, and then her smile got bigger.
Peter felt it all the way down to his toes.
He was completely in love with this woman.
XxX
“Where’s Ghost?”
Jon looked around, like he hadn’t previously noticed the absence of his direwolf. “I let him roam free. He’s been cooped up with us for a long time, he can enjoy a good hunt too.”
Susan arched a brow and Jon just knew he was about to get criticized. “Do you think that’s a good idea?”
He took a deep breath. “What do you mean, my lady?” He hoped his voice came out normal.
“Ghost has a better chance than any of us of sensing if something’s coming.” She indicated. “It might’ve been a good idea to keep him close by.”
“He won’t go far.” Jon grumbled.
“Of course, Your Grace.” She just nodded.
“And what do you think we could possibly find?” Jon couldn’t resist asking.
“I do not know.” She admitted. “Hence the need to be careful.” She told him sweetly.
Jon took a deep breath before hurrying his horse. Tormund was looking mighty entertained by this once Jon stopped by his side.
“The little lady has a sharp tongue, hm?” The big man teased with a grin.
“Not now, Tormund.” Jon grumbled.
“Just sayin’… We all know you like your women with a temper.”
Jon decided to ignore him.
They rode for a long time finding very little; a few birds and three hares. He’d expected it to be a fool’s errands, but people had already spent too much time cooped inside Winterfell with the threat of war looming closer and closer every day. He worried for the men that waited, for the open animosity some felt towards the Free Folk. It was better to let them out to spend some of that energy, before something happened inside the keep.
At least that was his reasoning. If they didn’t find something to kill soon, it might be a problem.
When Jon was about to call all of them to go back to the keep, one of the Free Folk caught a trail. The men discussed for a while and it seemed like deer tracks, maybe even more than one animal.
The group reorganized to decided how to best follow the trail and Jon let them discuss it among themselves. Edmund and Arya were talking quietly to each other and Susan was beside Tormund, waiting for a decision.
Jon’s eyes went to the sky. It was so blue just then. It was hard to believe that the harsh winds that’d attacked them since the beginning of the Winter were gone. Despite everything that he’d been through -including dying and coming back to life and seeing the army of the Night King -it was still hard to believe in the stories about the four siblings. How could they come from another world? How could their mere presence change so much?
Maybe it was all a big coincidence. Or maybe there was a cosmic force, an all-powerful god -or gods -playing with their lives and threading the lines of Fate, making all of this happen.
Maybe he was being fanciful. Wouldn’t that be a shock to everybody?
Suddenly, he felt a strange sensation: a satisfaction he didn’t know where it came for, the taste of blood in his mouth. He was shocked by the pleasant feeling it brought.
Ghost.
Ghost had found himself some prey, and he was feeling mighty pleased with himself. It’d been a while since the last time Jon had felt himself slipping inside Ghost’s mind like this. It was a pleasant escape, but he didn’t want to get lost there.
Jon wasn’t sure how this process worked: if Ghost let him go, or if it was truly him that decided it; but suddenly he was back on his body, on his horse.
He was also completely alone. He looked around and saw that his company had moved on and he’d stayed behind. Jon could already imagine what he’d have to hear from all the others for that, so he decided to follow the obvious path they’d taken.
However, as he prepared to urge his horse ahead he saw movement beyond the threes to his left.
“Ghost?” He called, for it seemed white fur to him.
The direwolf didn’t appear and Jon dismounted his horse. Maybe it was nothing.
He walked a bit ahead, until he entered the tree line. He took a few steps in and saw nothing. He turned his back to go back to the group when the sound of growling caught him.
He turned to see a bear coming in his direction. It was a big one, with a thick pelt. It probably had been what Jon had seen, but he had no idea why he’d thought it had white fur.
The second thought that passed through his head was that the animal should be hibernating. Didn’t bears do that for a portion of the winter? Maybe this one hadn’t fed enough before the snow started.
A situation it clearly intended on correcting now.
Jon tried not to make any aggressive moves and he took cautious steps back. However, once the beast noticed he was trying to get away, it rose on its back paws, standing amazingly tall over Jon.
Without choice, Jon pulled his sword, vaguely remembering that Brienne had once fought a bear as well. If he survived this he’d ask her for the full story.
Dying from a bear attack right now would be so humiliating.
Jon threw a look at the animal, noticing its huge claws and the size of its teeth. He was almost positive that bears slapped at their prey, and -eyeing the size of its paws -Jon was absolutely convinced he did not want to be slapped by them.
The bear moved in his direction and Jon moved out of the its range, still thinking he’d have better chances leaving this fight all together, but obviously not daring to give his back to the beast.
The bear let out a growl and fell back to its four legs, approaching Jon, but still staying far enough to not get poked by the sword.
Jon wished he had some fire right now, for this might work much more in his favor than the sword. As it was, he’d have to hit the animal in a perfect spot, because if the beast wasn’t felled in one attack, it’d certainly be furious for the injury.
The bear charged at Jon, and the man thrust his sword forward. Unfortunately, it only hit the side of the animal, that let out an outraged sound of pain, then swung its huge paws, sending the sword flying.
Before Jon could move out of the way, the next swap of the paw hit him square on the chest, making him lose his breath and fall to the ground.
The bear was about to attack him again -likely to finish him off -when the animal let out another mighty roar of pain.
When it turned to see its new opponent, Jon saw the red feathered arrow stuck to its flunk. The bear rose in its hind legs once again, roaring in fury.
That was when Jon saw Susan and her bow. She let another three arrows fly in a speed Jon had never seen before. She held her arrows in her draw hand and managed to fire them with astounding precision.
One of the three arrows found its mark on the chest of the animal, the next one pierced its neck and the last one hit it square in the left eye.
The beast fell to the ground, not moving at all.
“Susan…” Jon stood shakily.
She turned her blue eyes to him, fury making them alight. “Do you wish to die?” She demanded, marching in his direction. “I told you this was folly!”
“I had no idea…”
“Are you stupid? Why were you not with the group?” She demanded, pushing him with her hand. “What would you have done if I hadn’t come along?”
“Susan!”
“You have no respect for the people that care for you…”
Jon had no idea what came over him. One minute he was listening to her insult him, the next he extended his hand, sunk his fingers into her hair and pulled her mouth to him.
He kissed Susan middle-rant.
It did stop her diatribe.
Tumblr media
She was frozen for a second, enough for Jon to consider stopping it all; but then she let go of her bow and her arms went around his neck as she kissed him back.
Any other time, Jon would remember how inappropriate this was; not only because of where they were, but because of who they were. However, Jon would admit -much later -that those considerations didn’t even cross his mind; the only thing Jon could think about, in that moment, was Susan.
How her lips felt against his.
How her body felt pressed against his.
How her perfume took over his senses.
How she was kissing him back with just as much passion.
He never thought Susan would be cold; whatever fool said she was an Ice Lady had no idea what he was talking about. Susan was pure passion and fire, and he could now feel it.
She must’ve been so mad at him, because her kiss was angry and demanding, all teeth and bite. She bit Jon’s lower lip and sucked on it, making him lose his head a bit more. Jon hugged her waist and picked her up, just enough to turn her around and press her against the nearest tree.
Susan gasped as her back hit the tree, and Jon only took the chance to kiss her deeper, while she sank her fingers on his hair and tugged. Jon growled against her lips and…
“You two have got to be kidding me.”
They jumped apart, matching guilty looks on their faces, only to see Edmund standing there, the most unimpressed look ever on his face.
Susan took a deep breath. “Edmund…”
“Please, don’t say this is not what it looks like.” He groaned. “I know exactly what I saw.”
“What is happening?” Ara asked, appearing from somewhere behind Edmund.
“Your cousin was kissing my sister.” Edmund informed Arya dryly.
“Edmund!” Susan protested.
“Really?” Arya asked, a brow arched. “And this was the best place to do it?”
Jon cleared his throat. “This is not what it looks like.” He tried.
Edmund groaned. “I told you not to say that.”
Arya snorted. “No, now I’m interested. Let him tell us what it is.”
Susan sent Jon an unimpressed look, but before anyone else could say anything Tormund showed up behind Arya. “Found them?”
“Yes. Kissing.” She informed the man.
Tormund looked impressed. “Didn’t think you had it in you, Jon.”
“Can we focus on the bear?” Susan bit out, pointing at the animal. “We need to take it back to the keep.”
“Aye.” Tormund agreed, impressed with the kill. “And while we do that… You can tell us more about that kiss.”
Just great.
                                                      ***
Notes: Someone is in love, someone just got kissed... Oh well... hahahaha
Also, I can't say I ever fought a bear, or met someone who'd done, but... I went with a feeling. lol
I hope you liked it.
Let me know your feelings!

Megan Reads Oathbringer (part 10)
Hi, fronds.
I meant to keep going, I really did, but then That Thing happened and I was really upset and also a LOT of real life things happened, most good, but all busy, so. Bear with me. We’ll get through this monster eventually.
Part 10 encompasses pages 753-828 (previous parts)
I’m still super upset about the Rift, y’all. Like. Ultimate #yikes.
ANYWAY, MOVING ON
“That would give privacy to talk” Okay, but you are still in a public space with a bunch of other people, you maaayybe shouldn’t be, like...just using the king’s name casually like you’re besties?
Since this is supposed to be a stealth mission, isn’t it?
OKAY BUT ADOLIN JUST, UNPROMPTED OUT OF NO WHERE ASKING TO SEE KALADIN’S SWORD
SHALLAN PLS “It’s a little small” GURL PLS
“Kaladin liked them both...just not together.” I’m just waiting for someone to yell at them to get a room. Kaladin is the most likely candidate and I’m going to die laughing when it happens.
honestly, polyamory is the real solution here
Two Unmade.
which means we need two radiants to go fight them so Adolin WHEN ARE YOU MANIFESTING, MY BOY?
literally every time anyone mentions seeing a cremling--especially a weird-shaped cremling--I JUST GET REALLY UNCOMFORTABLE. WHAT IF IT’S 200-CREMLINGS-IN-A-TRENCH-COAT???
“But Adolin had been raised by a mother with a fondness for hugs” I’M SCREAMING THIS IS FINE I’M FINE. HE MUST MISS HER SO MUCH. HELP
wait, but don’t we know for sure that shardblades can be stuff that’s not swords? Like, didn’t Syl turn into a spear at the end of WoR? So maybe the Radiants DID make other tools for their followers--maybe they did have shardhammers for building and shardbows for hunting and shardshovels for digging latrines, but after the Recreance, the spren died, so they lost the ability to change shape?
Worth thinking about, anyway.
“Thank you for being you, Adolin.” “Everyone else was taken already.” BUDDYYYY. I LOVE HIM. HE’S SO GOOD AND WONDERFUL AND AAHH
OOHH, Shallan gets SQUIRES??? Somehow I didn’t really think that the Lightweavers would be one of the orders that had squires.. they seem a solitary bunch.
Kaladin just...scooting down to sit next to the highmarshal without an invitation is. listen, he’s always been brave, but this is a different sort of bravery--doing something that might get you in trouble with social codes is different from running headlong across a not-set bridge into battle--and I know he’s done shit like this before, often, but not...not really in context of military superiors? I don’T KNOW THIS FEELS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT AND I’M EXCITED FOR HIM.
I find it ironic that the COVERED walkway from the Oathgate platform to the palace is called the SUNwalk, but that’s fine.
Kishi is a really good name, dangit brandon stop taking all the really good names
Azure’s sword is a her?
YOU CAN’T JUST SAY THAT, KALADIN!! “How did you get here?” “I flew.” YOU CAn’T JUST. KAL, PLS
I’m
loev
hem
“I’ve given answers. If they aren’t the ones you want, perhaps the questions aren’t very good.” HELLO, I LOVE THIS BOY VERY MJUCH I DON’T KNWO IF YOU KNOW THIS ABOUT ME
wait come here chasing her
OH JESUS FUCK SHE’S VIVENNA ISN’T SHE
She’s from Somewhere Else and she’s got a weird sword and her name’s a color and Vivenna was SUPPOSED to show up in this book GODDAMNIT THERE SHE IS
heheheheheh gosh that’s fun
...............pleasant.
I suppose it is the HEART of the revel, after all...
I really, really didn’t sign up for a horror novel, idk why this keeps happening SIGH
You know you’ve watched too many shitty action movies when the first thing you can think of when a guy gets thrown off the city wall isn’t “oh god he got THROWN off a WALL” and is, instead, “I bet tehy’d have used a Wilhelm Scream there heh”
Listen, Kaladin, I know you CAN fight without flying, but you are currently fighting flying enemies, and you should absolutely go have an aerial battle with them, please, I just want you to be in more cinematic, badass fights pls.
OKAY, BUT MAYBE LAUNCHING YOURSELF OUT A WINDOW AT THIS FUSED GUY ISN’T THE BEST? WAY TO HAVE THE AERIAL BATTLE?
okay, I asked for this, but I rescind my request, BE CAREFUL BABE, PLS.
YES THE HEART
GO FOR THE HEART
YES
Y E S
“my red life” yah, ok, that’s definitely Vivenna NICE
hnnnngggg, every time Kaladin summons the sylbade and, like, does the thing where he rests her on his shoulder all casual and intimidating I just melt, I’m so
he’s so
and so
hnnnnnnnngggggg
mrrrghhh, OF COURSE There’s a gang that steals the food from Shallan’s informants and KILLS THEM EVEN THOUGH THEY’RE KIDS, uggghhh. Should have known.
Continues the trend of Shallan not really knowing anything about how life on the streets work, huh?
OK this lady with vine patterns in her skin who’s Soulcasting for Azure? Actual Soulcaster suffering the effects to way too many years Soulcasting? OR........Radiant?
Honestly, I suspect literally everyone of being a radiant at this point.
pffffffffffffffffffffffttt HOID
of course.
but why did he help? Why is he helping? What’s his game?
“She hadn’t lived on the streets and she didn’t know how to help people.” NICE YOU TO FINALLY REALIZE.
“The only way to live without failure is to be of no use to anyone. Trust me, I’ve practiced.” COOL, NOW I’M SAD ABOUT HOID. Listen, I know his books are sooo far off, but the more things he says, the more I want to KNOW about him. Argh.
“Many people have suffered more, and they got along fine.” Oooohhh, Shallan, honey. No one ever taught you that the fact that other people have it worse does not negate your suffering.
Also, like. most people have not, in fact, had it worse than you, really. In the grand scheme of things, having to kill both your parents when they tried to kill you sucks a LOT, despite your privilege making the rest of everything better for you...
GOD BLESS ADOLIN KHOLIN, WHO, WHEN CONFRONTED WITH HIS FIANCEE IN PANTS, REACTS ONLY BY COMPLIMENTING HER COLOR COORDINATION AND RECOMMENDING HER COAT BE TAILORED A HAIR BETTER.
BLESS THIS GOLDEN SUNLIGHT BOY.
“You’ve been wanting an army to attack your palace, Your Majesty... well, we’re ready.”
YOU MIGHT BE READY, BUT I’M NOT
DO NOT JUST GO INVADE THE PALACE WITH AN ARMY
GOD, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE GOING TO DIE
hi, Adolin talking to his sword still makes my heart swell, every time, he’s JUST SO GOOD AND PURE AND WONDERFUL
SUNSHINE BOY
HE PUT ON HIS UNIFORM
I’M
I lov hiiiiimm
it’s not Shallan that needs to drive this one back.
I’m still so enamored of this theory, I’m sticking with it even if it’s wrong, I don’t care. One Unmade per Radiant Order. It’s gotta be one of the boys this time. The Heart... Kaladin is nothing but heart, it’s gotta be the windrunner Unmade.
No one tell me I’m wrong, I will be SO DISAPPOINTED if it doesn’t go down this way.
OH SHIT
OOOHH SHIIIT
OOOHHHH SHIIIIIIIT
IT’S THE THING FROM THE COVER THE WHATSITCALLED THE ROCK MONSTER
OH SHIIIIIITTT WE ALL GON DIE
THUNDERCLAST, THAT’s the word phew glad I remembered
listen, Kaladin letting himself get smashed by a giant boulder just so he could Lash it away HURTS MY HEART
DON’T HURT KALADIN, 2K18
yuuuppppp it’s not a shardblade. Blergh, I didn’t finish Warbreaker, is there some wacky shenanigans with Vivenna’s sword? Does it pull the Breath from people or smthn? ...Do people on Roshar have Breath?
Adolin is SUCH ! A GOOD! COMMANDER!
.........I’m very glad that some of the palace guard aren’t evil, but. why did time move weird for them, apparently?
Is this the second Unmade? Is this one something to do with warping time??
I’m confuuuused.
oh
fuck
that’s
hot
GLOWING KALADIN WITH A TWELVE FOOT LONG SYLSPEAR, FLYING THROUGH THE THROWN-OPEN DOUBLE DOORS??? YEAH I’M F I N E, T H I S I S F I N E
nooo don’t split up
never split up
I don’t want this
Adolin giving Kaladin the Bridge Four salute. I’m cry.
oooooooooohh, Shallan summoned Pattern!! And she’s not panicking! I’m so proud of her ahh!!
Skar and Drehey just. continuing to save Adolin. Best bodyguards. Best friends. I love them so much.
mmmmmmmmmmm
I don’t
want this, this is intense this is A LOT
aaaaahhh fuck Kaladin’s wall squad came with. They are SO Going to Die, and I WI LL C RY
she’s singing? So... she’s... hm. What happened to the queen?
I STILL DON’T THINK SHALLAN CAN DEFEAT THIS UNMADE
ohnohecallshissonGav
I’m
ohnohecallshiswifeDearOne
I’m
Elhokar, please
you are so small, just. Be brave.
KALADIN, YOU MADE SYL KILL A SPREN??? I don’t care that it was an evil spren, that’s. You can’t.. Syl. Don’t make Syl kill her family, pls, I’m suffering.
oh no
what ancient spren, WHICH ONE, AESUDAN.
AND HOW
HOW DID YOU BIND VOIDSPREN TO PEOPLE
I’m assuming that’s what it is
I’M CONCERNED
Yelig-nar and Ashertmarn. 1. both of those are terrible star wars names, Brandon, you usually do better. 2. Are those BOTH Unmade? Or is Yelig-nar Aesudan’s...voidspren?
stormspren?
Ancient Parshendi Ancestor of Evil spren?
“I have taken the gemstone into me.” WELL, THAT’S A STEAMING PILE OF # Y I K E S
mmm yeah, no, she didn’t do it. Shallan didn’t defeat it, it retreated. Or was called away or something. We’re deeeefinitely going to have to deal with that again.
oh shit is this the other one?
this is the other one
Yelid-nar is Aseudan’s Parshendi Ancestor’s name. Sja-anat is the other Unmade.
I’m scared.
ON THE STAIRWELL? GoDDAMNIT THAT’S A TERRIBLE, TERRIBLE PLACE FOR A FIGHT
 no
n
o
don’t
make kaladin
kill his parshendi friends
please
oh fuck, Moash is with Kaladin’s parshendi friends, isn’t he?
damn, I AM NOT READY FOR THIS
yeah, no SHIT The heart fled. I TOLD you Shallan couldn’t defeat that one.
but why is THIS one helping her? OR IS SHE
WHAT IS HAPPENING
GOOD DON’T KILL EACH OTHER PLEASE.
oh Kaladin
“He’s always been able to trick himself into seeing a battle as us against them. Protect those you love. Kill everyone else. But...but they didn’t deserve death. None of them did.” HI THIS IS MY GHOST TYPING, I AM DEAD NOW. Kaladin has come so far, from scraping along, doing everything he could to breathe, let alone survive, and now--look at him. Look at him realizing that everyone, everyone is doing the same thing he is. They are all of them fighting to survive, they are all of them fighting to protect what they love.
Everyone is the hero of their own story, even if they are a villain to you.
God, this book is so literary, it’s so strong. Be better. Do better than those who have wronged you. See yourself in those around you, even your enemy, and do better. Take responsibility for who you are and what you do and who you fight.  God, THIS BOOK.
Also, Kaladin trying to stop the fighting, I’m crying.
THEY ARE ALL DYING. I TOLD YOU THEY WOULD AND I TOLD YOU I WOULD CRY AND HERE I AM. SOBBING.
noooo
no no nono
I’ don’t
want this
put it
back
I’m
Elhokar waS SO CLOSE OH M Y GOD HE
ONE MORE WORD OF THE IDEAL GOD DAMNIT
Moash
of course
he always wanted to kill the king
fuck
I knew this was coming because I got fucking spoiled but it still hurt like a punch to the gut
FUCK, HE KNEW KALADIN WAS THERE AND HE DID IT ANYWAY
god
f u ck
I’m
he knew. he saluted. he didn’t even pause.
DAMMNIT, MOASH, YOU’RE BETTER THAN THIS.
god, Kaladin screamed, I’m
not okay
So much for Kholinar, god
“If we engage the device, we’ll be caught in a disaster.” AREN’T YOU ALREADY
...sapphire is windrunners, right? so why is the epitaph.........it’s a sapphire recording. A windrunner. “Am I not supposed to want to help people?” Does that mean...what is the Fourth Ideal of the Windrunners? The order of people who help people. Why...would their Fourth Ideal...not? be about helping people?
UGH, the radiant recordings make me SO NERVOUS ALL THE TIME.
1. I hate Taravangian. A Lot.
2. Here’s a thing: Navani spent a whole book and a half thinking her eldest child was dead, but holding out hope she was alive, and getting to have that vindication when Jasnah showed up. How...how long is she going to hold out hope that Elhokar somehow made it out alive only to have that shattered when the rest of them show up and he doesn’t?
ALSO FUN FACTS, DALINAR PROBABLY NOW THINKS ADOLIN, ELHOKAR, AND KALADIN--THREE OF HIS FOUR SONS--ARE DEAD, PROBABLY, SO THAT’S FINE, I’M FINE.
EVERYTHING’S FINE.
OH FUCK IT TOOK THEM TO SHADESMAR
WHY
OH MY GOD
WHERE’S JASNAH WHEN YOU NEED HER, SHE CAN NAVIGATE THIS SHIT
also !!!! PATTERN AND SYL AND ?????? ???? ?? ADOLIN’S?? SPREN????? PLEASE SAY IT’S ADOLIN’S SPREN. HIS BLADE. WHATEVER. PLEASE.
LET ADOLIN HAVE A SPREN 2K18
god, Vivenna: HARD SAME, GIRL
also, I forgot that she would have had to have come through the Cognitive Realm to get from Nalthis to Roshar, but heeeeheheheh yeah. She knows what she’s doing here, or at the very least has an idea. Excellent.
but FUCK
SHADESMAR
AND EVERYONE THINKS THEY’RE DEAD
and dear fucking god, Moash, you’re better than this, why must you continue to make REALLY BAD DECISIONS.
these are my priorities
leave me alone.

No pls I love rants on music, especially vocal techniques (had a couple of classes, quit because of life in general, most of my expertise is on the piano side anyway), and would really, seriously love to hear your thoughts on the members vocals (although I do understand that this is time consuming to do) just wanted to say that there's no need to apologise for ranting, we all wanna hear you speak anyways :)
sorry this took forever to respond to! akdjf youve went to more vocal technique classes than i have so maybe you might know more than me ahaha! tbh i really want to formally learn vocal pedagogy so i know what im listening for and what im not. like having that professional opinion alongside telling me ‘ur wrong’ or ‘ur right’ i really want that so i can solidify my learning in a sense…ive been doing that kind of through youtube videos and stuff but still idk. omg ur a pianist? please i love you automatically now so idk why but i’ll probably just summarize in units? and like maybe short comments about each member or more than one member or something idk. under a readmore bc it got longwarning: i am no way, shape and or form a professional. 
hht: im going to start with hht…tbh i have another name for hht haha its called ‘baritone team’ alsdkjf isnt it a coincidence (not really) that all of svts baritones ended up in hht…thus is the fate of most baritones in kpop sadly :( they either get pushed to subvocal or to the rapper position even if its not what they want initially bc of their like natural (basically) biological disposition of not being able to hit, with the same kind of ease, high notes that tenors can…like tbh tenors cant hit those notes ½ the time either but its less obvious bc theyre tenors…that made no sense lasdj…in relating to current events though heres a classic example of baritone (vn) vs tenor (sk) singing in basically the same high note range but vn has to go into falsetto while sk is trying to mix up there…both of them arent really singing it well (laskdj fmaybe sk is a bad example bc he has a good approach to his voice…but like nonetheless that isnt a healthy sounding note from either of them) but its less obvious with sk bc hes a tenor and more obvious with vn (well maybe the falsetto vs mix also had to do with it but like idk a bari who would want to mix that high ljldkajf). anyways in terms of technique, no one in hht team particularly stands out. All of them tend to either sing with their throat or sing with lots of air in their voice, which isn’t particularly healthy but also to be expected from rappers. tbh rappers i find tend to be more throaty, i think why in this group they also are airy is because of wz lol and his vocal directing. within the entire group though (like not just hht), ww has my fav vocal color and i tend to think from within hht, he has the most potential to become a decent vocalist. its mostly (like 95%) because of his continual expressed desire in singing (it makes me think that when he does actually get proper vocal lessons he would take them very seriously and be very disciplined about it and tbh that just goes above everything else) but also because of that one performance of city escape (here) ? and it sounds really pretty and the range that he’s singing in that song is starting to be in the higher part of a baritones register too. and in some of his other vocal performances too, whenever he is in the range where he doesn’t have to mix, his approach to his voice really isnt bad at all. i say he has the most potential but that doesnt mean the other hht members cant become awesome vocalists they can if they put the right time and effort into it. pt:the rest of the units are composed of all tenors (at least from what i know) btw so yeah all of pt are tenors. again in terms of technique no one particularly stands out. they all seem to approach singing similarly but with putting emphasis on different things which makes them sound different….actually upon closer inspection most of the members of the entire group (not just pt) are like that laksjdl….well maybe with the exception of sk. anywho…jh pushes air a lot which is why you get those like ‘hiccups’?? idk how else to describe it but an example is here. like do u hear how his voice rises at the end of a lot of those notes? hs also gets those same hiccups. jh is also quite nasal, and probably the most nasally member within the 13 members when it comes to singing. nasally voices are my number one pet peeve rip thats why my fav jh singing moments is when hes singing in his comfortable range and esp when its words/syllables that force him to place his voice not so much in his nose (ie this part in my i). being nasal is not really as damaging for the vocal chords as much as it is the individual not really placing the voice in the correct, most optimal place. he also gets really tight on higher notes esp when hes trying to mix that high. same with hs (you can hear the both of them sounding tight in the habit perf i linked to earlier). also jh has tongue tension but im not sure if thats a reflection of him trying to sing in kr…him and hao are probably at a disadvantage when it comes to singing because of the fact that they aren’t singing in a language that theyre comfortable in/fluent in. when it comes to hao, when he said in the seasons greetings video that he was working on singing but no matter how much he practiced, he couldnt improve, that made me really sad :( because that basically means is that the vocal lessons he is getting arent actually good vocal lessons…unless he expects results to happen in a week (which sadly no it takes months upon months). ur vocal chords are a muscle so they take time to develop (like when u first go to the gym u arent going to try and lift the heaviest weight right? or run at the fastest speed or whatever u have to build urself up to that slowly). and then he also compared that to his dancing which he said he could get better at by doing over and over? but its the same when it comes to dancing like u cant be improving dancing if u learn the wrong choreo or the wrong ways to dance a specific type of dance right? like no matter how much u practice a wrong choreo its still going to be that wrong choreo…so if u sing with bad technique no matter how much u practice u arent going to get better u’ll just develop bad technique. but yeah singing with correct technique should yield some results eventually (i can attest to that). anyways im biased and i really want to hear hs get proper vocal lessons bc i find his vocal color sooo pretty i literally listen to campfire like 90%for his part in the chorus (and the other 10% is cheols rap aldjsf)….i also think he hovers around being able to support or maybe its my biased ears talking who knwos… i didnt really talk about dn but hes kind of along the same lines…maybe a bit more dependent on his throat than some of the other members in pt…which kind of makes sense bc thats what rappers tend to dovt: ok js and wz are both similar in how they approach singing i think its kind of obvious too with how much they sound alike at times. oh yeah wz probably has the highest vocal range within the group idt anyone in the group can go higher than him (not that it really matters when it comes to vocal technique but its a neat tidbit of info). jh for one has a lot of tongue tension (just like jn) when he sings and is kinda nasal (not as much as jn but still there). just like the rest of the other members in the other units, these three dont support either. we can finally talk about support when we talk about sm…although his supported range isnt too much he does have that basic down…he gets super throaty though when hes outside his supported range. he does that same hiccup thing that hs/jn do. he hasn’t shown the ability to resonate but at least he can support.  despite singing a lot of the groups high notes, he hasnt developed a connected head voice, as far as im aware of. technique wise hes really similar to a lot of the main vocalists in groups that debut these days. but ok NOW SK aka the member who has the best vocal technique. he supports consistently and he has resonance too its so beautiful and wonderful to listen to like esp since a lot of kpop group vocalists that debut these days for some reason dont really want to resonate. its so nice to listen to his voice. like hes fooling around here but still manages (what i think is) a resonant F#4? (not the high note he holds out, its like the note he sings before he slides up) and if that note isnt resonant then it is at the very least supported very very very nicely. heres a really pretty g4. tbh i really want to hear him start trying to conquer the fourth octave like what a good day itd be if i could say ‘yeah sk can sing up to b4s with good technique’ like thats kind of hard to do but definitely attainable! and he has the potential for sure! i think within the fandom hes really quite overlooked for some odd reason that i cant seem to figure out why. he definitely has the healthiest voice, at least his mixed register for sure. he seems to prefer mixing over head voice for whatever reason when it comes to high notes so honestly speaking i havent paid much attention to his head voice but i wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt connected considering how much he doesnt sing in it…but tbh the fact that he mixes pretty decently is amazing in it of itself. CONCLUSION: with proper vocal guidance and technique ANYONE can become a decent singer.

Day 2: What Was Left Unspoken
Here is my second entry for day two of ockiss18! I had this bad boy written up on Monday but didn’t have a whole lot of time to finish typing it all out throughout the last couple of days. But it’s up now and I am very pleased with what I came up with. Next up for OC kissing is my SWTOR OC Kavi Zifon and @highjustices‘s Sethali Kuda! I’m continuing where she left off in Cipher’s Folly. Already things are a little tense and I have feeling by the end, Chorus is going to want to kill me for the cliffhanger. :D
Sethali’s impersonal use of his title and rather curt, overly professional behavior towards him stung, more than he imagined it would. Coupled with that and the fact she never answer back to his personal message were clear signs of rejection, that to her, last night was a one-time thing only. That was fine, he could live with that decision, regardless if it left a gnawing, gaping hole inside of him.
What a fool I was, to hope for something more. I must be growing soft,, if I forgot the words both the Sith Academy and my father told me: never get too close someone and then become attached. 
Of course, he had broken that rule before when he lived on Nar Shaddaa with his father, who made money dancing in cantinas and entertaining wealthy or powerful clients on the side. He had a few friends growing up and even when he was sent to Korriban for training he still kept in touch--albeit covertly, for everyone’s protection. Perhaps it was a combination of wishful thinking and hope that made him reach out to Seth and attempt to form a relationship--or anything for that matter--between them. Either way, the results royally backfired on him and now, he had a partner who probably wanted less to do with him than before, the Sith reckoned. 
Their assignment took them outside the main Empire compound and to a smaller, long forsaken camp, and during the whole ride there, Kavi attempted to not ponder about how frozen his balls were after enduring Hoth’s chilling, unforgivingly harsh weather. He couldn’t wait for this mission to be over and he and Sethali were moved to a much warmer planet. Maybe the Imperial agent’s less than friendly nature would become more tolerable under tropical conditions. Who knwos, maybe witnessing him a swimsuit might change her mind about him. After all, he was built for the beach.
“This is where the coordinates the captain gave us end,” said Seth, her perfunctory voice slicing through his dreary reverie. “But that’s odd. I don’t really see anything. Nothing left of his squad or the cache he could have concealed the datapad in nearby.” While she double-checked the coordinates, Kavi calmly listened to the Force and their surroundings, searching for any clues they might have missed since they arrived. Right now, he definitely preferred to let Sethali do most of the talking while he slipped into deep concentration.  
“Wasn’t there a gigantic snowstorm after the captain was forced to abandon this campsite?” wondered the Mirialan agent out loud as she pushed some snow aside with her boots. “What we’re searching for could be buried underneath these snowbanks!” She turned to Kavi for a second opinion. He granted her a respectful head tilt in her direction and towards the pile of snow behind her.
“That is highly possible,” he responded, voice lacking the good cheer or gaiety she once heard in the privacy of his own quarters, when it was simply the two of them, alone and warm in his bed. She loathed how lackluster Kavi sounded now and assayed to ignore the relentless, keen dagger of guilt twisting itself inside of her. Separation was better this way. Fraternizing with a Sith would be hazardous to her health and sanity. “And I am sensing a few objects underneath this entire mountain of snow. Perhaps the captain’s fallen comrades and the datapad lies there.”
Unfortunately, neither one of them had the foresight to bring a shovel yet Kavi assured her lifting snow was an easy feat for a Sith like him. So in utter silence he blew or pushed away the mounds of snow, rapidly revealing several frozen corpses and a small metal box near an out-stretched arm. Relief flooded through Seth. Finally, they could complete this portion of the and determine what encrypted information laid inside the locked datapad that was worth killing an elite Imperial squadron over. As she reached for the metal box, Kavi reached out and grasped her wrists tightly, halting her movements briefly. She cut him an irked glare.
“What the hell?!”
“Sssh!” The Sith relinquished one of her hands to put a finger to his mouth. “We’re not alone. Someone has been observing our actions and now, they’re headed this way.”
 Already reaching for her sniper rifle, Seth unholstered the gun from hr back and picked up the metal case after Kavi released her other hand. If they had a fight on their hands, at least the object of their mission was light and could easily be transported or stashed in her gear. “Between the two of us, they’ll be outmatched. How many of them are there anyway?” Her self-assurance steadily faded away at the sight of a frown graving Kavi’s bronze features. 
“More than we can handle right now, in these temperatures.” He nodded over to the speeders they utilized earlier to get to this hostile location. “Go and hop on, I’ll will drive their attention towards me and away from you.” His lightsaber ignited, vivid scarlet against an endless niveous backdrop, a harbinger of the massacre that awaited the Miralukan Sith.    
“Are you crazy?!” she hissed, tugging on his free hand so he would follow her. “There is no need to play heroics, Kavi! Not when there is time for the both of us to escape!”
His tragic smile nearly broke her damn heart. “No, there isn’t. The Force showed me that they have the means to snipe down a speeder--unless they believe the person they’re battling possesses the data they seek. While I distract them, you can sneak out of here undetected and return to the base with our missions accomplished.” He patted her hand fondly, pleased to hear under such dire circumstances, she was worried about him. At least that notion would grant him a small measure of comfort prior he’d race towards a fight with an unknown foe. The opponents weren’t Sith but if the suspects were Jedi, like he could sense, then these Jedi were different compared to the peace-loving ones he encountered with in the past. From what he could gauge of their aura, these Force users were battle-harden warriors who would sacrifice their lives without a thought to get a hold of that datapad. If they desired to die a martyr’s death, then they can simply save him the trouble and fall on their own bloody lightsabers.
“Kavi, this plan of yours makes no sense! You could die out here, in these freezing conditions, without the proper shelter or provisions!” Emotions, countless of them, clouded her mind and clawed at her heart, leaving deep, torn scars within her. “I just...I can’t leave you behind. Not like this.”
“Sethali.” His tone was serene yet sharp, brooking no argument. “You must. If I do not fall, you should be able to track my location through the joint tracking chips we share.” A precaution of the mission, their higher-ups claimed but he and Seth learned how to disable and re-enable the chips whenever it suited them. 
Taking a chance, he took a hold of her hands, rubbing his thumbs tenderly over her knuckles. For once, she didn’t flinch in his presence or try to pull away. He bent down and kissed both of her hands, despite feeling nothing but the soft, padded material of her gloves. Still, the kiss was enough to display that despite what transpired between them, he still cared about her.
“And thank you,” he added, letting her hands go, squashing down the desire to stroke her face once more time. 
“For what?” She could barely move, let alone speak properly. 
“For calling me by my name again. It’s nice.” He turned his face away from Seth, fixating his Force gaze on the figures slowly creeping towards their location, attempting to remain unseen. “Now go, Sethali. Don’t make me repeat myself again.”
Whether it was the Force or Seth’s own pragmatism finally kicking in, he heard the snow crunch softly underneath her weight as the agent surreptitiously made her escape on one of the speeders, the object of their assignment ticked safely in her bag. Now it was turn to complete the mission. The ignited lightsaber still humming beneath his  fingertips, he strolled out into the open, the Force guiding him to the five enemies lying in wait. Three Jedi...how intriguing. 
“You can stop playing hide-and-go-seek. I was able to sense you all miles away, even in this weather.” he called out dryly. Sethali’s aura was evanenscing...the distance between them was increasing. Good. The Republic couldn’t touch her now.
“Stand down, Sith. Hand over the datapad and your life will be spared.” commanded the oldest Jedi, the de facto leader of the group. It was her connection to the Force that first alerted him. Not because of how strong or in-tuned she was with the Force but how familiar her bond was. And once he heard that Jedi’s voice, his suspicions were confirmed. That voice on old holo recordings had stayed with and haunted him ever since he was a little boy.
“I’ll yield to no Jedi or lackey of the Republic.” He brandished his lightsaber out in front of himself, his grip flexible but firm. “Regardless of whom I’m facing.” He paused a little for the dramatic effect.
“And that includes you...Mother.”

Please can you tell me who all the main Sailor Moon characters are and your thoughts on them? I know nothing! :(
You’ve come to the right place then Anon! I’ve been a SM fan for over 20 years, so sure! I can tell you about them! I’ll try not to spoil too much though since you don’t know about them though.
Tumblr media
First we have Sailor Moon herself, Usagi Tsukino. She’s a 14 year old girl who eats a lit, is very clumsy, and a major crybaby. Very much not your ideal heroine. But when she encountered Luna, a talking cat, she discovered her identity to be the champion of justice, Sailor Moon. Her duty is to find the other Guardians and the Moon Princess to defeat the Dark Kingdom. She can be very pratty and, again, a crybaby but she has a kind heart and does try despite how scared she is. She matures over the course of the series and soon discovers her true destiny...
Tumblr media
Next we have Ami Mizuno, aka Sailor Mercury. She is a very intelligwnt girl, with a 300 IQ, but also quite meek and shy. She is seen as a freak due to her intellect with Usagi being the first to befriend her out of the kindness of her heart. While arguably the weakest fighter, Ami more than makes up with it with her intelligence, strategic abilities, and her water/ice-based powers.
Tumblr media
Next up, Rei Hino aka Sailor Mars. She is a miko (shrine priestess) who lives with her grandfather and works at his Shinto shrine (Shinto is a Japanese religion). She is seen as rather strange due to being able to have visions, but found her place within the Sailor Senshi. She’s a stubborn, hot-headed girl and the most likely to but heads with Usagi, but is also arguably the most trusted of them. She is protective and very much fiery, hence her powers being fire-based.
Tumblr media
Next we have Makoto Kino, aka Sailor Jupiter, The tallest and strongest of the Senshi, she is a skilled fighter and unnaturally strong. But she’s also boy-crazy, a very talented cook, and enjoys most feminine hobbies. She got kicked out of her old school for fighting and transfered to Usagi’s, where her reputaiton made many afraid of her. Usagi was the first to not not be, even asking why she should be. Makoto is a strong-willed, friendly girl, with the power of thunder/wood, and not someone who you want to mess with.
Tumblr media
And now we come to Minako Aino, aka Sailro Venus, aka Sailor V. Minako was the actual first Senshi to be awakened. She acted as Sailor V and became quite famous as a result, even having her own arcade game. She is an athletic, cheerful girl who dreams of being an idol. Now in the manga and Crystal anime (which follows the manga), Minako is the senshi’s true leader and had a bit of a loner side due to having to work on her own with only her own cat guide, Artemis, there alongside her. Regardless, she’s a determined girl with the power of love on her side! Literally!
Tumblr media
Finally we come to the lead male, Mamoru Chiba aka Tuxedo Mask. While a lot about him isn’t known, he also doesn’t knwo much about who he is. He began to have dreams of the Moon Princess asking him to find the Imperium Silver Crystal, a powerful jewel that can outright bring back the dead. He therefore acts as Tuxedo Mask, investigating and searching for the Crystal. Due to it, he often aids and rescues Sailor Moon when she gets into peril and she ends up falling in love with him. There’s more too it than just a crush though, and as they’ll eventually find out, they are destined to have a Miracle Romance.
I’m leaving a few out since they don’t come around until WAAAY later (Chibi0-Usa, the Outer Senshu), but those are the main characters! Sailor Moon is a great series. It IS a little dated (this was mad ein the 90′s) but it’s stances of feminism and romance still stand strong even today. IDK if I’d recommend the original anime (which is 200 episodes) or the Crystal anime (which follows the manga), but I would recommend finding the manga and checking those out. Either way, I hope that this was good Anon~
