#also gave him a necklace of the other players
All My Klance Headcanons So Far...
lance likes to watch sports but keith doesnt like to, but he still cuddles up next to him while lance is watching. they also share a bag of potato chips when they watch together.
lance plays sports and keith comes to every game. when keith watches he gets REALLY invested. Keith yells at the other players and referees (which lance finds adorable).
Lance and keith love to bake together. lance is really bad at baking and keith is relatively good. Every time lance inevitably fucks the baking up keith pulls him in for a kiss.
my new headcannon is that keith and lance both loooove hamilton. i imagine they both love singing it together. it is their go-to song while doing chores.
keith and lance have a tv in their room (across from their bed). So when they are going to bed they can watch a movie together or something, idk.
most of the time when keith and lance goes on dates they have picnics at the same place where they first met, first kissed and got married.
keith and lance have one of those bff necklaces that are a heart that u can put together. each piece has the others name. they always wear it under whatever they are wearing no matter what.
lance loves bringing keith flowers. keith always puts them in his hair (only because lance likes when he does that), short but sweet😃
lance and keith have a golden retriever named: Sunshine. sunshine is adorable 4 year old doggo.
keith and lance always do halloween together. keith likes wearing monster costumes or horror movie costumes. keith loves chocolate bars and. lance doesnt love a certain candy and comes home with things like lollipops to sour gummies
keith and lance both love going on those public playgrounds at parks. they especially love slides and flying foxes. they own a ball-pit and a trampoline because they love playgrounds that much. lance made the decision to buy the trampoline and ball-pit and is usually the one to say "LOOK ITS A PLAYGROUND! keith plssss can we go on it? pls pls pls pls?????"
every sunday keith and lance have a day called 'Lets Do Shit Day'. they basically have a road-trip and stop and random places along the way. i will be incorporating this into my schedule.
keith would like ebony black and lance would like maya blue.
Lance wears perfume, specifically very flowery type smells. keith likes the smells of his perfume. lance alternates between 4 bottles.
lance and keith both have tumblr.
the 'voltron crew' has a dnd campaign together. each of them plays a character that has completed different traits to their own.
Lance loooves wearing disney shirts. especially disney princesses shirts that are like two sizes to small.
Lance has very cute coffee mugs
Lance and keith def play two player videoganes together. they always end in yelling stuff like "YOU WERE MEANT TELL BE THERE" or "I GAVE IT TO YOU WHERE IS IT?" but it always ends in kissy kissy.
keith listens true true crime podcasts and documentaries on the tv in their bedroom. but lance HATES true crime. so whenever keith puts it on lance runs out if the room, screaming"NOOOOOO" and then keith has to chase after him.

Be My Valentine - Alastor x Female Reader
Tumblr media
♥️HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE! Also I know Alastor is AroAce, but lets just assume in this fic he is not. Enjoy♥️
It was finally Valentine’s Day in Hell, a little holiday that some demons enjoy doing with their partners and others that find it absolutely ridiculous, like a certain deer demon. Alastor didn’t much care for a silly little festivity like this. He found romance a bit ridiculous, but he wouldn’t go as far as to make fun of someone else in a relationship, it wasn’t who he was. He did find Charlie and Vaggie’s relationship adorable, since he saw how happy the two of them were together. The little sparks between Husker and Angel were easy for him to spot, and it led to lot of teasing at the hands of Alastor, which earned him a middle finger from a certain cat on occasions.
Since it was Valentine’s Day, Charlie thought it would be a great idea to decorate the hotel. Heart paper strings were hanging from the ceiling, along with XOXO and heart balloons on the walls. It wouldn’t be Valentine’s Day without some sweets, so Charlie along with Niffty made some chocolate covered strawberries and pretzels for everyone else to enjoy. You were trying to figure out how to help liven the mood. “Music would be nice” you thought. Heading over to the record player, you skimmed for any good songs to play. Frank Sinatra was what you picked, and you decided to play that. The melody began to carry out all throughout the lobby, catching everyone ears, causing them to sway. “Ah! Excellent choice my dear!” You heard Al’s voice call out from behind you. He was sitting on one of the chairs, with a hot cup of coffee in his hand, wearing a pleasing smile. Smiling back, you made your way over to the couch and took a seat, listening to the tunes.
Soon Charlie came running back, “Okay everyone! Ready to start the Valentine gift exchange!” Before the decorations were put up, Charlie suggested that everyone pitch in and do a Valentine gift exchange. The gifts would be exchanged between two individuals: Charlie + Vaggie, Angel Dust + Husk, Niffty + Sir Pentious, and You + Alastor. Everyone got together and presented the gifts. Charlie had given a bottle of perfume and new hair bow for Vaggie. Vaggie gave Charlie a unicorn plushie and T-shirt with their faces on them. Angel got Husk a fancy bottle of Italian wine. Husk gave Angel a popular perfume from the Lust ring plus some mini outfits for Fat Nuggets. Niffty had actually handmade mini plushies of Sir Pentious and his egg bois. Sir Pentious got Niffty some roses plus a new sewing kit.
Now it was time for you and Alastor to exchange gifts. While you did have something for Al, there was something else you wanted to give him, but it was a surprise. Alastor was smiling down at you, hands behind his back, holding a mini box and bouquet. “Here you are my dear!” He handed you the box and flowers. Ahh he remembered how much you loved (your favorite flowers). Thanking Alastor, you opened the box, which contained a beautiful ruby necklace
Tumblr media
“W-ow Al! This is beautiful! Thank you.” Holding the necklace up, you looked up at Alastor, face flushed. “You’re welcome, my dear! Allow me!” Grabbing the necklace from your hands, he motioned his body behind you, helping to place the necklace around your neck. Turning back around, you pulled out your gift and presented it to Al, “Happy Valentines Day Al” Grabbing the black box with red ribbon from your hand, he opened it, revealing a new rose tinted monocle. He had broken the one he had before, and didn’t have the time to replace it. “Ah I needed a new monocle. Thank you kindly, y/n!” Smiling you nodded your head and faced back towards the others
Al looked into the box again and saw a little piece of paper that was placed underneath the monocle. Turning away, he took the paper out and read it:
“ᴄᴏᴍᴇ ᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ʀᴏᴏꜰᴛᴏᴘ ᴀᴛ 8 ᴘᴍ”
Well well, what was this? Another surprise, perhaps? Smile widening on his face, He placed the paper in his suit pocket, before turning back to everyone like nothing happened. The day continued as normal, with everyone chatting about random topics and participating in some bonding activities like board games and watching some random romance movies. It soon gotten late and it was time for everyone to head to bed, or so you thought. The glances you saw between Charlie and Vaggie hinted that they were going to be doing something else. Even Husk and Angel dust, especially since you saw Angel dragging Husk into his bedroom, well good for them, they make a cute couple. Going to head up and finish your plans, your eyes caught Al who had looked right at you. You smiled and walked away.
**8 PM- Alastors POV**
"Hmm I wonder what the little darling has planned for me?” Al thought to himself, as he made his way to the location you told him in the note. Ascending up the stairs, Al arrived at the door that led to the rooftop and opened it slowly. His eye widen at what he saw. In front of him was a small dinner table with chairs, decorated with candles and roses.
Tumblr media
He was left stunned by what he saw. Walking closer to where the table is, he admired the little set-up. "Do you like it?" Turning his head around, Al saw you standing there, wearing a flowy black dress, bright smile place on your face. Alastor looked back at the table, then at you, "Was this the little surprise you had planned for me? If you wanted to have dinner with me, all you had to do was ask, my dear." Alastor gave a soft smile, making his way to you, lifting your chin, "You look positively radiant, darling." His words caused you to flush, "T-thank you. Go and take a seat Al. I'll be right back," Alastor smiled and let you go, heading over to the chair to take a seat.
Soon, you came back holding two plates, the aroma wafting off of them was mouth-watering. Placing them down, the smile on Al's face had widen. In front of him was a tender venison steak, his favorite, along with a side of salad and baked potatoes.
Tumblr media
After that, you had grabbed a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, and poured it into the wine glasses for both you and Al. Once everything was set in place, you slowly took a seat on the other side of the table. "This is my first time cooking venison, so I hope you like it." You fidgeted with your fingers under the table. "This looks spectacular! Thank you my dear!" He grabbed his wine glass and held it up in front of you, "Cheers, my dear!" Smiling, you grabbed your glass, bumping it against Al's, letting out a small clink. The both of you started to eat the meal you prepared, well you were watching Al more than eating, monitoring his reaction. You knew about his diet and what he mainly ate, so last thing you wanted was for him to try the venison you prepared and do a spit-take. The fork in Al's hand, held a piece of steak, and slowly it made its way into his mouth. The whole time you were sitting there, gazing at his reaction to see if he liked it. His expression didn't change, but he went back in for another bite, and another, and another. Heaving a sigh of relief, you were happy that he liked the meal, letting you go back to your meal.
Soon the both of you had finished eating, letting out a satisfied sigh. "Delicious!" Al said, wearing a pleasant smile. "I'm glad you enjoyed it. Are you in the mood for some dessert?" You said as you got up from the table, and made your way over to grab the dessert that was hidden. Walking back, you placed a bowl of chocolate covered strawberries on the table.
Tumblr media
"My dear, you know I'm not a fan of sweets." Al said to you, while looking at the bowl with strained face. "I made these myself using dark chocolate, so they won't be as sweet, trust me." Grabbing one of the strawberries, you held it up towards all, "Say ahh." Al raised an eyebrow at that, but he shook his head, amused at your actions, before taking a bite. Looking at him, you were expecting him to spit it out, but surprisingly he swallowed, "Not bad!"
Whew, glad he liked them. Now it was time to tell him what you were thinking/feeling. "Um Al? Can I ask you something?" Alastor looked at you, smiling like the joker. "Of course my dear! What is it?" He leaned in, placing his elbows on the table, lifting his head up with his hands. The butterflies in your stomach were going crazy, and your palms were sweating. Your eyes looked down at your hands, until you turned your head back up to look at Al. "W-will you be my valentine?" Alastor eyes widen at that statement, but he continued to gaze at you. Feeling nervous, you looked back down to your hands, "Y-you don't have to answer, I understand you find romance and stuff a hindrance." you said. The two of you were sitting in awkward silence, until you heard his chair scrap across the ground, indicating he had gotten up. You knew it, he was going to leave. You had made him upset.
A hand was placed under your chin, making you look up. Alastor hadn't left, he had only gotten up to get closer to you. "Stand up, my dear." He said to you. Moving slowly, you got up from your chair and stood in front of Al. He continued to look down at you, his eyes flashing crimson. Then he got closer, and wrapped his arms around you, pulling you into a warm hug. "What an adorable request! I must admit, developing relationships with another is still new to me. However! I wouldn't mind forming one with you, my dear. I accept!" He whispered all of this in your ear, causing goosebumps to form. Your eyes got teary, as you hugged him back. After a while, Alastor moved a bit, placing one hand under your chin, and the around your back. He had a small smile on his face and his eyes were soft. "Happy Valentines day, my doe." His head moved closer to yours, causing you to slowly shut your eyes, letting his lips press against yours in a soft kiss.

okay, so. i have loved pjo since i was 12 and this can definitely be explained also by the fact percy is so freaking hot. this days i was thinking about our boy and just have to share some of the stuff i thought about him in all this years. here we go with some headcanons of bf percy and percy in general;;
• i have a thing for silver chain necklaces. you know, one of this things every hot guy has? yeah. percy does wears one. his mother give it to him probably. and he never takes it off. it reflects the sun when he's surfing, stands out on his tanned skin, touches your face when he's on top of you kissing you or whatever else
• percy IS an nba obsessed. he will invite you to watch the games with him and will give you his personal opinion about the players, the moves, even the uniforms if you want to know.
• he secretly is zodiac guy. like, in front of his friends or any public conversation he will deny it. but if you're into it, and just says something like "our zodiact signs are compatible!" he'll be happy about it and feel like he's part of something magical, you know? like he's known all along that you're supposed to be together.
• talking about interests: he definitely will listen with heart eyes whatever you talk about. books? shows? basketball or another sport? celebrities drama? taylor swift folklore's love triangle? he's here for it. laying on his bed with you sitting by his side telling him about it, and he's just staring at your beautiful eyes and playing with your hair
• he also love movies. he has an letterboxd account which he is religiously active on. also, he give extra stars to the movies you watch togheter just because he is on a good mood.
• btw, when he's calling you to watch a movie, it is to watch a movie. boy take the movies thing really serious.
• he will be watching barbie AND oppenheimer. and he will take you to both.
• percy can't sleep without being tangled with you. he's an huge touchy guy, bear hugs, forehead kisses, hands on your waist, head laying down on your chest. he just loves the feeling of your body with him
• bro is an biology princess. is the only thing he really found interesting. he loves nature, the sea, the animals.... everybody knows he's going to do marine biology. he's not an working-on-office-all-day type of person so 99% of chance of him working saving marine animals on an research group.
• his instagram profile would totally be about animals he saved. him just doing ✌️🤘👉👍with some type of turtle or an aquarium of clown fishes
• you gave him different marine stuffed animals and he keeps it on his shelf, right on the side of a picture of you and him on a beach day.
• as soon as he gets money, he will take you to a summer on greece.
• he is so fucking loyal. he CAN'T like anyone else. he just thinks about you. in a way that is almoust obsessive.
• also, kind jealous. okay, im trying to be nice with him, he's very very jealousy guy. not because he doesn't trust you or your love for him, but because he doesn't trust other people. at least, thats what he says everytime he sees this one friend of yours
• percy is a tattoo guy. he will have symbols, greek words, abstract stuff, strong animals.... and your initials on his chest once he knows for sure you're here to stay.
• i saw that jeremy allen white keeps a letter of his wife with him to read when he's missing home and i just can't get it out of my mind. percy will totaly take a small peace of paper with something you wrote to him when he's traveling to research or smth and read it before going to sleep 😫😫😫
humm alright. i think that's it for today. i love percy he's so fucking sweet. also, english is not my first language and i had never write for tumblr before soooooo sorry for anything.
hope you enjoyed and stuff 💪
HEY! we have a part. 2 :)

Hot take regarding Heihachi Mishima and Reina.
Tumblr media
I still find incredible the amount of mental gymnastics that male players do with justifying Heihachi Mishima and hating on Reina for no reason at all. Let me explain.
I think a lot of y´all either don´t have media literacy, critical thinking and love to justify straight up abusers.
The whole concept and take of " Heihachi been secretly the good guy because he was betrayed by Kazumi" makes me vomit. Since when a man been abusive towards his son, adopted son and grandson is justification for been "betrayed" by his wife in the past???? Like, are you insane.??
He was NEVER the good guy, like, EVER. He tortured and imprisoned his father Jinpachi Mishima, stole his conglomerate and rebuilt it as a mafia. He left his father to die and rot under Honmaru BEFORE Kazumi ever tried to kill him. Jinpachi was long gone before that. I bet you, Heihachi doing that is what triggered the gene in Kazumi. As far as we know the Hachijou´s do not kill for nothing. They get rid of threats to humanity. Kazumi was doing her job, trying to save the rest of the world before Heihachi got more powerful.
He killed her, tried to kill his son Kazuya, and when he survived he made his life a living hell. Got rid of both his grandad and mom, adopted Lee Chaolan for the sole purpose of making him a rival to Kazuya. Not letting them develop a normal healthy sibling relationship, but just making them hate each other.
Wang Jinrei (Xiao´s grandpa) knew him since he was a kid and told us in Tekken 5 that he has ALWAYS been an asshole.
He kidnapped Michelle Chang and stole her necklace relic to resurrect and control Ogre to gain power to himself.
He manipulated Jin, trained him and brought him to fight ogre like a pig before the slaughter house. And you justify this guy????? He killed his grandson too.
Just say that you love abusers, that´s it. Is infuriating.
Heihachi probably also lying to the journalist is the cherry on top.
He had zero feelings to Kazuya even as a baby "his mother was specially doted on him", no shit Sherlock, Kazumi WAS HIS MOTHER. Of course she is going to love him.
He hooked up with Lars mom (and with multiple ones) only to prove if he had or could have a devil gene too. Abandoning countles of kids that we don´t know yet, all over the world.
And the Reina situation just makes me remember Tekken 3 all over again.
I´m 100% sure he also manipulated her, she is probably a test tube baby, raised and brainwashed by him, spoiling her (she seems to know everyone on Tekken and has a lot of money) , she doesn´t have anything against him because she is a girl and we know Heihachi has a soft spot for girls. She doesn´t know the whole story, she is probably only 21 or 22, in her mind he was the perfect father and Jin and Kaz were just overreacting or were evil. He treated her right, gave everything to her, covering up his multiple crimes and abuse towards his family. So please, do not hate on her, we don´t know her side of the story but is probably going to be sad as well.
Heihachi neglected all his male sons, adopted ones and grandkid. He is not a "heartbroken man", he was an abuser. Period.

The Loneliest [2] | Kylian Mbappé x Fem Reader
Tumblr media
[Part One] [Part Two] [Part Three] [Part Four] [Epilogue]
Summary: The transition period after calling off your engagement has broken both you and Kylian. He needs to have you back, but you can’t handle having your heart broken again.
Warnings: pure angst, heartbroken reader, heartbroken Kylian, cussing, lots of crying. I switched perspectives between the reader and Kylian. — English is not my first language —
Kylian had racked up quite a large amount late fees the following month after your breakup. He never used to have issues going to sleep at night or waking up to go to training before this, but he just let himself scroll through his camera roll for hours on end.
He would emerge himself in that reality, smiling, giggling whenever your digital image did something goofy. He remembered which outfits he helped you pick out, fixating his thoughts on the ‘K’ necklace that he gave you shining around your neck in every frame. Then, due to the fault of a notification or a car alarm going off, he would snap back into the reality of his new life.
These are just memories now. He wouldn’t be able to take your picture again, hear your grainy morning voice, make your coffee so perfectly that you’d hum in gratitude.
Achraf knew about the breakup, but Kylian asked him to keep it hush since he didn’t feel like talking about it most of the time. Some nights, though, he finds himself on the phone with his mother without thinking about the fact that it’s past 2 o’clock in the morning. She (of course) picks up every time, being there for her little boy with a broken heart, her own heart breaking with the thought of you not coming around anymore.
Today, he made it to training just on time, barely smiling at the PSG camera crew that follows them around. Usually if somethings bothering him, football is his medicine. He goes out, distracts himself by making goals and perfect tackles, but it wasn’t until you were gone that he realized he needed you there to bring it all together. He hated how codependent he had become, sometimes subconsciously wishing he’d never met you at all. Maybe then his heart wouldn’t feel like it was being ripped out piece by piece.
“Okay, seriously?” Glatier grunted, blowing the whistle after Kylian had missed yet another easy goal. “Kylian!” He called over. Kylian cussed under his breath and jogged over to the frustrated coach, his teammates just as frustrated with him for his performance recently. “What the hell is going on with you? Where’s your head at?!”
Kylian looked at his feet, hands resting on his hips. “Sorry, coach.”
“No, not ‘sorry’, Kylian. You’ve been somewhere else for weeks. I need you to explain yourself before we start benching you.”
Kylian bit his cheek, still focused on the pitch under his feet, begging his body to suck the lingering tears back in. He looked up at his awaiting coach, nodding. “There’s no excuse, coach. I’m right here, I’ll do better.”
Glatier looks at him apprehensively, expecting to hear how the pass wasn’t placed right or some other bullshit that Kylian used to blame his shortcomings on, but notes that something is definitely off with the star player. “Alright, then.” He says, keeping eye contact, blowing the whistle twice, sending everyone to do a different drill.
Kylian sniffles as he runs back toward his team, Hakimi pats him on the back upon seeing his glossy eyes.
You had been a mess yourself, occupying yourself with your own job. Coworkers started calling you a hard ass once you decided to take charge of the group meetings, having to have control of something ever since your love life vanished. They were also oblivious to the fact of you and Kylians breakup, feeling as if the news was better off left to his PR team.
You’d settled nicely into the hotel life, enjoying complimentary breakfasts and free valet parking, but finally found a move-in ready apartment close to the office. It’d been a nightmare having your entire life packed into your car, taking up every ounce of room you had in there. There were times you convinced yourself that you were fine, but realized it was just a lie every night when you popped a sleeping pill and craved looking into Kylians eyes. You resorted back to his Instagram so often, clicking the same post every time.
The night you left, Kylian posted something for your birthday. At first, you ignored the notification, deleting the app altogether. That lasted about an hour. You redownloaded it once your curiosity took control of your body, having to know what the hell your newly-ex fiancé tagged you in. You assumed at some point he’d take it down, but it’s been thirty four days and it’s still the last thing on his feed.
You laid in the neatly made hotel bed, your fingers doing their own thing, rereading his caption until you heard your heart crack — like it did every time you found yourself here.
Tumblr media
@k.mbappe: To the love of my life; you’re the best things that’s ever happened to me. Sometimes I can’t even believe how lucky I got. Getting to know you and getting to love you was the biggest privilege of my whole life. I hope this year gives you everything you need. I will love you always. — Ky.
You think back to the night that photo was taken a lot. It was at Neymar’s New Years Eve party, a few months before he proposed. Kylians hand was permanently attached to your waist. He looked at you every time something funny was said, wanting to laugh with you. He bragged about your accomplishments to everyone there — as if anyone in the room wasn’t more impressive than you, seeing models and athletes around every corner. At some point, you’d lost him and the clock was ticking down, five minutes until midnight. As you turned down a hallway, you heard his voice coming from one of the rooms.
“She’s the one.” Kylian stated, a giggle following right after. You never meant to eavesdrop on him but now you had to — back pressed against the wall as you tipped your ear closer to the open door.
“Man, she’s awesome.” Neymar’s voice responded.
“I know. I can’t ever stop smiling.”
“Yeah, I know. It’s creepy.” They both laugh, you bit your lip to keep yourself from squealing. Neymar continues. “You deserve someone great like her.”
Kylian pauses, you wait for him to say something. “What if I fuck it up?”
You feel your heart tug at his insecurity, but stop yourself from running in there and kissing him until the silly thought leaves his head. “You won’t. I can tell that she loves you a lot. Just, show her how you feel about her every day and you can’t fuck it up.”
The lull in the conversation gives you time to skip into the room. They both look at you and smile, Kylians eyes shining with love as you make your way to sit on his lap by the window.
“There you are.” You kiss his crinkled cheek. “Been looking for you. It’s almost midnight.”
He hums and pulls you closer to him.
“Aww!” Neymar teases in an exaggerated tone, standing from his place and whips out his phone, snapping a candid picture of the two of you. “What a cute couple.”
You quickly closed the app, throwing your phone far away from you on the bed.
“Fuck that.” You cried, stuffing your face in the mattress to collect your tears. You were so angry at him, but you wanted to talk to him. Slap him. Kiss him. Make him regret everything.
Your feelings have never been so crossed in your life. Of course you knew ending your relationship would be hard, but not debilitating. You didn’t expect to have to find new ways to not think about Kylian. How are you going to do this forever? Will this crippling coldness ever leave you alone? The signs all point to Kylian, but you don’t even know if he’ll be up to talking.
Blocking his number was an easy decision. While you were confident that you made the right move at the time, it doesn’t feel that way anymore. You reached back and grabbed your phone, settling down and wiping any remaining tears from your face.
The amount of times you’ve unblocked Kylian probably has broken some sort of record. You’ve been to really low places in the past few weeks, but the fake it ‘till you make it mantra somehow found it’s way into your system, hearing it buzzing in your ears like an annoying fruit fly.
Clicking the unblock button was simple. Trying to find something to say was beyond difficult.
You typed and backspaced and typed and backspaced until you were ripping your hair out. It was either too weird or too forward, but all of it was too scary.
Almost half an hour had passed, still trying to manage some sort of communication with him. Everything felt wrong, maybe today wasn’t the day. Just as you were about to reblock him, your phone buzzed.
Kylian: hello?
Shit. Of course he decided to text you right when you unblock him.
While you were freaking out about this turn of events, Kylian was holding his breath. When he saw the three dots appearing and disappearing on his phone screen over and over again, he felt like he struck gold. He just needed some way back into your life. And although small, this was an opportunity he couldn’t ditch out on.
You stared at the message, trying to take deep breaths. You should be chill. You’d texted Kylian a gazillion times in your life, but considering the circumstances, panic seemed fitting.
“Okay, (Y/N). Pull it together.” You mumbled to yourself, clearing your throat.
(Y/N): hi
You sent the message quick with no time to think twice. You facepalmed, now overthinking those two little letters. You waited impatiently for his reply. He was taking too long for your liking, but the time displayed at the top of your screen hadn’t moved. Not even a minute passed before he said something back.
Kylian: so you decided to unblock me?
Kylian: how are you?
He didn’t give you a chance to really respond to his first question, so it was easy to ignore it. But the second question had much more weight behind it.
How are you? Really?
You were tempted to type back ‘like my soul was sucked out and repeatedly backed over by a semi truck full of loaded diapers’, but that seemed like a bit much.
(Y/N): I’ve definitely been better.
You waited again, wondering if you should ask him how he’s doing, too. You saw the typing bubbles, but they disappeared. Once, twice, three times until he finally messaged back.
Kylian: did you want to talk?
You sighed, throwing your head back and staring at the ceiling. Fuck. Why did he have to ask that? Of course you wanted to talk — but this seems like the beginning of a very slippery slope. Going back to him was exactly what you wanted. You wanted to take him back and hug him and kiss his stupidly plump lips until you couldn’t anymore.
At the same time, you’re so vulnerable right now. You knew that taking him back this quickly would definitely cause an issue; whether it just be second guessing yourself or realizing you were wrong, and leaving him twice was something your heart absolutely could not handle.
Kylian: im sorry if that was too forward
You didn’t realize how long you were lost in thought for. You looked down at the message taunting you in your lap, sighing.
You: no, it’s fine.
You: when are you free?
You didn’t know it, but Kylian, Hakimi, and Ramos all jumped up and cheered when you sent that message. They shook his shoulders around in excitement, all too invested in the young couples relationship.
“Vamos!” Screamed Ramos, hugging the group.
“Okay, okay, shut up!” Kylians smile wrinkled his eyes shut for the first time in forever, sitting back down on the training bench.
Ramos happened to walked by when Kylian was crying to Hakimi, which Kylian was super embarrassed about, but Ramos was a genuinely good friend of the two of you, so now he felt personally affected by this breakup.
“Come on, quickly. What do I say?”
“That you are free tonight. Dios mío.” Ramos tusked like it was the most obvious thing in the world… and it was.
Kylian: tonight after training?
Kylian: I can pick you up, we can go get some dinner?
(Y/N): how about I just meet you at the training center?
There was no way you’d allow for this to be a date. If you let him wine and dine you, your heart would melt into a puddle that spelled out his name.
Kylian: perfect, cant wait
Kylian: I’ll see you later
You smiled down at your phone, putting a thumbs up to his last message and shut it off. Allowing your smile to finally spread across you face, you breathed out a giant huff that weighed down your lungs.
The happiness passed quickly, your mind remembering the way he was before. Aloof, distracted, snappy… You we’re still holding onto the old Kylian. The one that took you on spontaneous picnics, the one who would pull over on the side of the highway on his way home and hand-pick you a bouquet because the wildflowers looked pretty, the one that never forgot to kiss you goodnight, even if he was already asleep when you crawled in next to him.
The expectations for tonight were all over the place. Your mind raced with the possibilities of how it would end. Would you lower you walls for him again? Are you even capable of that? He hurt you down to your core, his actions broke you down into an insecure shell of yourself.
The end of the day came, and by now, the word had spread to the rest of the team about the breakup. Glatier patted Kylian on the back in sympathy, giving him a wise coach speach about life and love — one that didn’t really help Kylian. It was actually rather confusing. Nonetheless, he thanked his elder, mentally noting it’s best if he just sticks to coaching football.
Neymar was shaken by the news, having taken a liking to you early on in your relationship with Kylian. When he asked Kylian what was bothering him so much lately, he breathed out a heavy, “nooo!”. Comforting his teammate felt nostalgic for them both because their own relationship went through a sort of breakup at one point.
Kylian felt the end of the day inching closer and closer. He didn’t know what he was going to do when he saw you. It was important for him that he doesn’t say anything to scare you away. He wants you to see that he’s sorry and that he’s ready to prove it to you. He wants to make you laugh, make you remember that he is capable of making you happy again.
Kylian smelled better right now than he ever did after practice. He scrubbed like a maniac, fixing his hair with precision, shaving and applying after shave. He finished off with some cologne that Verratti suggested, a cool jacket that Kimpembe let him borrow. He drew the line when Sergio came for his eyebrows with tweezers, doing a nervous final check in the full length mirror. Breathing deep, he opens up his messages.
Kylian: im almost done :)
Kylian: let me know when ur here
He watched the screen, waiting for you to respond with anything. The three dots popped up again, halting his breathing when your message appeared.
(Y/N): I’m here. Come meet me by the maintenance entrance.
Before he knew what he was doing, he was rushing out of the locker room with anticipation taking over his veins, his knuckles turning white against the material of his duffle bag. He felt like he was going to throw up from nerves, but the good kind of nerves — the kind he has before an important match.
Where you were meeting him was his little hidden area. The maintenance crew got an upgraded break room with a patio, so no one ever came out this way, leaving the picnic tables open for when he needed a sneaky break. He brought you out here multiple times when you came and visited, always insisting on making out before he would go back inside.
This door always got stuck. He remembers having to shoulder it every time. He prepared himself, stepping back before lunging his body forward. Next thing he knows, he’s landed on the cold cement, letting out a loud “oof” when he went down.
“Oh my god!” He heard your sweet voice from a distance, looking up and seeing you, sideways from his position. The wind was already knocked out of him, but wow, watching you running in his direction took his breath way. “Are you okay?”
He got himself up when you approached him, he brushed himself off cooly. “When the hell did they oil that door?” Kylian points.
You stare at him before you let a small laugh bubble out, immediately getting Kylian to join in. He scratches the back of his neck, embarrassed by his less than cool entrance, but mentally checks off the make her laugh box in his head.
Damn, he looks good, you thought to yourself. You kept it at bay, but you noticed how he cleaned up extra nice, tugging at your heartstrings. You can’t lie, you also spent way too long on your appearance.
“Hello,” he smiles, raking his eyes adoringly over your frame. He didn’t even notice himself inching closer to you, but you did. It made you hot under the collar just being around him again. You’d been away from him longer than a month before, but this was hard.
You gulp. “Hi.”
He set his duffle bag down on the picnic table. You had his full attention, every word he’s wanted to say to you just on the tip of his tongue. You made your way over to the bench and slowly sat down, him following suit, sitting a little closer than you wanted him to.
You scooted away slightly. “Let’s talk.” You say. He nods, turning his body toward you. “I have to be at work soon so I can’t stay long.”
His leg bounces. “Can I start?”
“Okay.”
His gaze locked on your delicate hands, wanting nothing more then to hold them tightly. He breathed deep, his nerves felt electric in his veins. “I know I don’t deserve a second chance. I fucked up and realized it too late. I should have noticed, but I didn’t. And I’m so sorry for that. For everything.” His words were slow and gentle, his eyes not knowing where to look as they bounced from your eyes to you hands to your lips, then back to your eyes again. “I’m miserable without you. I miss you. I miss you so fucking much, (Y/N).”
You sigh. “I miss you too, Kylian. Believe me, this hasn’t been easy for me, either. But, I’m not here to get back together with you. I can’t let myself do that.”
“Why?”
“Because…” You really wished you planned this talk out better because right now, you were letting your emotions run on autopilot. Yet, you kept your logical side steady on the breaks in case your heart decided it needed his comfort more than it needed peace. “Because, Kylian. I just can’t.”
You felt the anger inside of you rising to the surface. You stood up and began pacing. Kylian stood too, but his feet were frozen in place.
“You know, I didn’t even know you still loved me until I was leaving?” You stated, facing his ashamed demeanor. He opened his mouth to respond but you didn’t let him. “You made me feel like shit. For months. You drove this… this weird insecurity in me that was never there before. I couldn’t even talk to you about it because you’d just spin it on me. Do you know how shitty that feels?”
His head hung low, guilt overriding his every sense. For whatever reason, he had high expectations for how this was going to go, and it’s already not at all how he thought. “No, I don’t. I’m sorry. You never deserved that.”
“You’re fucking right, I didnt.” You snapped, brows knit tightly in anger. “Why did you change? What happened? What did I do to you that made you so angry at me?”
Kylian opened and closed his mouth, stuttering. “I…” Seeing the tears gloss your eyes brought his own forward, but he bit them back. “… I don’t know. Nothing, you did nothing wrong.”
You stared at him, sighing. You ran a hand over your cheeks once you felt some stray tears run down your face. Nodding, you sat back down, Kylian cautiously joined you further down the bench. His elbows were on his knees, eyes facing the pavement. Silence used to be comfortable with Kylian. You two could sit together for hours and not say a word, and it would feel so natural. Now, the air was thick with tension, every depressing emotion running full speed inside your loud mind.
“You remember that benefit dinner we went to in November? The one held by that super rich Fortune 500 guy?” You asked softly, breaking the silence. “That week was when I started doubting if we were even good together anymore. You hadn’t payed attention to me, touched me, listened to me in weeks. I thought it was me. That I was somehow fucking up everything we had.” Kylian listened through the sound of his pounding heart, not daring to look up. He could hear in your voice how deeply upset you were, he couldn’t take the look on your face. “I tried talking to you about it that morning. I was going to ask if you wanted to take a break… have some time to ourselves. Instead, you just turned it into a fight about me leaving the dishwasher open, or some shit like that. I ended up apologizing to you.” You chuckled, but it really wasn’t funny.
Kylian remembered, having been stressed about his difficult new physical therapy sessions. He took out his frustrations on you unfairly, but he didn’t realize that he was doing that until it was too late.
You continued. “I dressed up so nice for you that night. I wore that gorgeous blue dress you got for me, heels that absolutely killed my feet, I got my hair and makeup done by real professionals… I thought maybe I could at least get you to want me again. But, all night long, you pretty much ignored me. You only smiled at me when other people were around and you didn’t want to look like a dick. I loved it, though. It felt like the old days, when you would actually smile when I was around.”
His lip quivered, still not being able to lift his head toward you. You wanted to keep going, but knew what you were going to say next was going to hurt him and it was never about getting even. You didn’t want to put him through what he made you feel. Reluctantly, you knew you had to tell him. You had to do it for you.
“That whole night, you kind of ignored me. I had the thought that you wouldn’t even notice if I disappeared… so I did. I was on the balcony for like, an hour. All by myself. Watching you from the outside to see if you started looking for me, and you never did.” You paused to take a breath, fiddling with your thumbs. “I didn’t think I would ever tell you this, but what do I have to lose, right?” He looked up, eyes red. You looked away. “It wasn’t on purpose, but… that night, Erling Haaland and I had a great time.” You locked eyes with him when he shifted, his whole demeanor changing from apologetic to full protection mode.
“What? What do you mean?” He attempted to keep his voice clear of obvious anger, but you knew him too well.
“No, no. Not like that.” You clarified. “He came out there for a breather and saw me. I don’t think he knew who I was or that we were together—”
“Bullshit.” He mumbled, but you ignored him.
“We just laughed and talked about the last season. Nothing happened, I wouldn’t do that to you.” You weren’t going to mention how he asked for your number at the end of the night because that would send him into a spiral. “Look, I’m not telling you this to be cruel, or anything, but it’s just an example of how alone I felt… that I would spend an entire night talking with Erling Haaland of all people. He payed more attention to me that night than you did for months. It made me remember how much fun we used to have. It made me realize that you might not be that person for me anymore.” Your voice wobbled and Kylian squeezed his eyes shut, forcing his tears back in with a sharp and deep breath.
He couldn’t believe you never told him about this, but reminded himself that he wouldn’t let you. He was too cold, too defensive.
“I promise you, (Y/N) — even if it’s the last thing I do, I’ll get you back.” He swore through his wavering voice, still attempting to hold back his cries. You saw his twitching face, surfacing your own emotions.
You couldnt hold it back anymore, placing your face in your palms, letting the sobs go freely. “You’re a stupid fucking dickhead, Mbappé.” It was vulgar, but it’s just what shot out of your mouth.
Kylian knew he deserved that and more, just nodding at the new nickname, beginning to let himself cry as well. “I’m gonna change. If you let me show you, I’ll never stop proving to you how much I love you.” He grabbed your hand, tightly grasping it and kissing your knuckles.
“I think…” you sniffle, watching Kylian as he squeezed your hand in his, resting it on his face. “I think I need more time, Kylian.”
Immediately he nods, scooting closer to you. “We have time, baby. I’ll wait for you to be ready. I don’t care how long it takes.”
You and Kylian continue to cry, together. This kind of vulnerability is what you’ve been craving from him, this is the kind you had before.
“Kylian, I can’t handle having my heart broken again.” You choke. He holds you close now, forehead resting on the side of your head.
“I won’t ever be that person again.” He promised, sniffling. “I’ve never hurt this badly before. I’m not putting either of us through this torture again.”
You nod, wiping your tears and trying to calm down a little before standing up, leaving Kylian sitting alone on the bench.
“If I’m even going to entertain the idea of getting back together… we’re starting over completely. Right from the start.” You point, feeling yourself stop crying and using your sleeve to get rid of any proof that you were an absolute trainwreck.
He nods, standing up. “Okay. I can do that.” It looks like a burst of good energy just shot it’s way into his body, but the nervous demeanor stood above it, cautiously watching your every move.
“This doesn’t mean we’re getting back together. I need to know it’s the right decision. It’s too hard.”
“Of course. I’ll do anything.” You can tell Kylian is holding back from hugging you by the way his feet tap toward you, his body swaying in your direction.
You look him over, breathing in the crisp air. “Okay.” You check your watch, noticing you’ll be late if you don’t leave in the next five minutes. “I have to go now.” You say, nodding an awkward goodbye to Kylian; hugging felt like it would be weird… a handshake even weirder.
“Wait.” He stops you, placing a gentle hand on your shoulder and quickly pulling it back. “Am I allowed to ask you on a date now?”
You chuckle, a real one this time. “Um. Let’s wait a couple of weeks. I need some more time to process all of this. Besides, I’m moving on Friday so I’ll be pretty busy unpacking, so…”
He’s taken aback, quirking an eyebrow and trying to not looked too freaked out. “Wait… moving? Where?”
“Some place I found. It’s fine… close to the office.” You honestly didn’t love it, but it was cute. It had character. “The hotel life was getting too expensive.”
“Let me pay for that–”
“No. Non-couples don’t do that.” You say, checking the time again, walking backwards toward you car. “Look, I really have to go. Wait for me to text you, alright?”
He nods, watching your figure disappear in the dark parking lot. “I will.”
He didn’t take his eyes off your car until it was out of his sight, turning back the way he came in.
The time has come for him to cheer, celebrate, tell all of his friends… but he won’t. He might’ve managed his way back into your life, but he’s nowhere near out of the woods yet. Everyone knows how embarrassing early celebrations are, especially when they they miss the goal in the end. He’s not making that mistake. He’s just grateful for the new opportunity to prove to you that it’ll be worth it… that he’s worth it. You’ll be treated better than ever… as soon as you’re comfortable with him again.
So, no celebration for Kylian Mbappé… not counting the giddy grin and small fist pump he did when he was alone in his car.
He couldn’t stop himself. He really couldn’t.

Heart Stations (KH spec)
after realising how much Foreshadowing and Sneaky Plot Points were lurking about in KH3's "demo" section, i finally remembered that a LOT of KH3 is done in parallel with KH1: which means that ITS "demo" is ALSO subtly plotty!
The first thing I remembered about Sora's heart station in KH1 is it being able to connect DIRECTLY to the heart stations of Princesses.
despite Sora never having met these princesses before.
except... VENTUS has!
the heart stations that Sora visits in the first Heart Dive belong to Snow White, Cinderella & Aurora: the order of their stations is in the same order as Ven's meeting them in BBS. Ventus befriended Cinderella personally, becoming friendly enough with Snow White & Aurora to have [link] attacks based on them (mostly through his friendship to the dwarves & Aurora's non-evil fairy godmothers).
There is also, in KH1's tutorial, a heart station depicting the three "free" princesses: Alice, Jasmine & Kairi. I had forgotten about this one. It's... interesting that, despite SORA being best friends with Kairi, Sora's heart instead connects to the "idea" of these three princesses altogether rather than individually (if only in the background, given the lack of need for a player to have 7 stages in a tutorial rather than 5). Sora knows Kairi personally but only Ventus could have known Alice or Jasmine, even THEN, his meeting them would have been during KHUX (a time he does not remember in BBS but treasures enough to enable his reunion with Chirithy in KH3).
The last heart station Sora visits in KH1's tutorial heart dive is Belle's: Belle is the princess who Sora ultimately ends up reasonating with most, in his heart at least, and she notably takes on the role of "Riku" to Beast's "Sora" in CoM.
it is EXTREMELY odd that Sora, well before Riku's heart gave him Kingdom Key, was able to directly walk from his heart station to those of the Princesses of Heart: Ventus did not have this ability nor any personal connection with Kairi. There are two plausible explanations as to why Sora's heart was ALREADY connected to that of the Princesses, prior to personally meeting them: Ventus might have joined their hearts by his being an 'artificial' Princess of Light courtesy of Xehanort & Vanitas; RIKU was connected to the princesses and, when Riku gave his crown necklace to Sora, Sora inherited that connection.
Ventus: Artificial Princess of Heart?
this theory is technically canon, working with the definition of princesses as "beings whose hearts are made entirely of light". it seems unlikely that this technicality would result in a metaphysical stairway between Sora's heart station and those of the Prinxesses': if it was THAT easy, Xehanort would have noticed the connection while he had Ven all comatose. Ven's heart being sheltered in Sora's MIGHT, however, explain why the heart stations of Snow White & Cinderella & Aurora were so much closer than the other stations (though the Sleeper/Dreaming connection is a stronger factor shared by Sora & these three).
Riku as Kingmaker?
Sora's first keyblade, Kingdom Key, gets him specifically scouted as Special by Donald & Goofy: Kingdom Key has narrative significance to it, tying it to Kingdom Hearts. Kingdom Key was also, originally, an existence dormant in RIKU'S heart: when Riku['s heart] was consumed by darkness in KH1, Sora was able to reach the light within Riku and receive its protection.
the ease with which Sora inherited Riku's keyblade betrays A Lot about Riku's Heart but it ALSO hints that this is not the ONLY example of Riku's Heart being considered interchangeable with Sora's. in later games, Riku and Sora are able to wield each other's keyblades without hesitation and are even capable of merging: other than SoRiku & Sora's Heart Roommates, Aqua is the only instance of someone summoning & wielding another's keyblade.
The keyblade of a deceased Eraqus came to Aqua in her time of need: this makes sense, the keyblade of a teacher coming to protect its student. Eraqus taught Aqua how to call and use a keyblade; Eraqus [knighted] Aqua with this keyblade; Eraqus died with this keyblade, died realising that he had failed his students and that original duty of protecting them.
Sora, meanwhile, began wielding a keyblade because Riku's Heart knew Sora could use it when Riku could not.
So what makes Riku so special, to keyblades and Princesses of Heart specifically?
It seems increasingly likely that Riku is the "Child of Destiny" that Xehanort believed himself to be: Riku's resemblance to Ephemer makes it likely that, just like Xehanort, Riku is his descendant; additionally, the light of Riku's heart was strong enough to catch the attention of both Terra AND Aqua in BBS. Both Terra & Aqua had, by then, met three Princesses of Heart AND lived alongside the artificially-light Ventus: nevertheless, Terra and Aqua only note that Riku's light is "strong" but not in the same way as any heart they'd encountered before.
Riku also, just "incidentally", happens to have had a Crown since infancy (if we quote Sora in CoM but correctly attribute to Riku what he says of Naminé's charm)... that Riku GAVE to SORA, who now wears it as a necklace. A crown necklace that Sora subconsciously gestures to when speaking from "the heart". *insert Necklace Theory here*
so, even before receiving Kingdom Key, Sora had been given a kind of "kingdom's key" through Riku, in symbol & oath.
this leads me to conclude that the CROWN must have connected Sora's heart (which, in DDD, appears a hop skip & a jump away from Riku's) to the Seven Princesses of Heart, the Seven Lights.
which, in turn, leads me to believe that Riku's gift & oath to Sora was significant enough to be recognised as a form of "Coronation": Riku CROWNED Sora, even without knowing it, and did so while meaning it with "all his heart". Riku's Heart recognising & accepting Sora as its "[king?]" (partner? equivalent?) seems to have continued from that Fateful Meteor Shower, throughout Riku's Entire Villain Arc & Redemption, continuing past Sora's failing to exist: Riku has pulled at LEAST two True Love's Sacrifices for Sora, not counting repeats across timelines, just within DDD & KH3. Riku's sacrificing himself has never lasted long enough to learn any repurcussions beyond Sora.exe going offline. SORA'S nonexistence has not significantly affected the integrity of his universe at large, beyond Riku.exe presumably shortcircuiting, which leads me to believe that so long as ONE of the two has a heart where it should be, the potentially disaatrous ramifications of "oh, btw, this one kid's heart has direct access to our universe's suns? should we be worried about that" has been prevented.
(Riku launching himself OUT of said universe to follow Sora? UH. let's just hope Kairi's still in touch with the other Original 7 and can lead the New Lights when it potentially/inevitably becomes necessary?)
Speaking of Kairi...
interestingly, Kairi never really indicates feeling "connected" to Riku.
Kairi feels connected to SORA and HIS heart, something many characters share in common (often very literally). Another product of Riku (& thus Destiny) sharing his role with Sora, when not designating him [his] King absolutely?
Speaking of Kings...
Riku ends up manifesting ANOTHER keyblade, just casually, despite Sora's having Kingdom Key being a Big Deal.
we could dismiss Riku's having Soul Eater in KH1 as "that's Xehanort/Terra/Ansem SoD's heart at work"... but we can't dismiss Riku's STILL having a keyblade post-KH2, Sora wielding the original Kingdom Key while Riku so happens to summon a second keyblade from his heart without any fuss at all??
it is... interesting, that Donald & Goofy never ended up explaining [to the audience] why Kingdom Key SPECIFICALLY was something King Mickey was looking for in the first place.
if it was due to Mickey's searching for the Wayfinder Trio, Donald & Goofy would have been searching for multiple "keyblade WIELDERS" instead of one "KEYBLADE": we can only assume that Xehanort's repeated efforts at starting another ragnarok have sufficiently distracted everyone from Kingdom Key's origins.
I personally find it very heartwarming/plot-foreshadow-y that Kingdom Key has STAYED with Sora, even upon reuniting with a Riku whose heart is at peace again: consciously or otherwise, Riku's heart continues to choose "Sora".
(which, given how likely it is that Riku is the foretold Child of Destiny... means that RIKU'S choosing Sora makes DESTINY choose Sora... for better of for worse, right? plz just let them be married already, Disney: Nomura & Utada have Riku's vows all written and everything)

hi! this is my first one, sorry if it makes no sense, but Fae gave me an idea for Cub. Vexes are a rare type of Fae. they are also labeled as 'Metal Fae", being one of the few, if not the only species of Fae that can handle any and all metal and are often born with some sort of metal that is most important and after for an early gift, receive a jewelry piece made out of said metal (ie. Golden earring, Copper necklace, etc). another thing that makes Vexes so unique is you can 'tame' them, this is a very hard feat to complete. there are 2 ways to tame a Vex, the first and more common being to take their metal piece, and they are forever in debt and loyal to you until you or they die, or until they get their jewelry piece back. the other way is to prove your loyalty to them and in turn, they will gift you a matching jewelry piece to theirs, this type of taming can never be undone and forever bonds the player and the Vex.
Cub, being an Iron vex makes it harder for him to trust others as his unique gift with Iron had people constantly trying to tame him, or using him for their own gain.
so when Cub finally felt comfortable enough in the Hermit polycule, he gifted every member an iron earring, matching the one he has. it was a sweet gesture and all the hermits felt very touched when they received them, knowing it was an act of true and ever-lasting trust.
but when the resident Vex's earring was suddenly missing, along with the Vex, himself. the hermits made the message clear no one else could mess with their vex.
sorry again if this makes no sense. thank you!
The hermits have never liked the terminology of 'taming'. The first method is controlling someone, the second is gaining their trust. They never expected Cub to gift them something, and they're honoured he trusts them that much.
So they are very angry when he goes missing. And angry hermits are not people to be messed with.
It's safe to say Cub is back with them within twenty-four hours. The first thing Scar does is give Cub back his earring - having slipped it whilst the thief was distracted by the other hermits. Cub looks shocked at such a simple gesture, and Scar's heart breaks right there and then.
They're going to make sure Cub knows they'll come after him, no matter what. The bond goes both ways, like it should.

Cheerleader
Tanjirou joins the cheerleader team because his sister Nezuko asks him to, although he's not going to deny it: he likes to support his highschool's basketball team.
He's not sure about the uniform though, but Nezuko insists he looks good in it.
They both quickly become friends with the team's players mostly because they're constantly gathered around Tanjirou and complimenting his uniform.
"Will you be cheering for me, Tanjirou?" Tengen purrs while his three girlfriends, who are also cheerleaders, try to persuade Tanjirou to do so as well.
"I'll be cheering for all of you, Tengen-senpai!"
"But mostly for me, right?"
"No, for me!" Muichiro says, taking Tanjirou's hand and kissing the back of it.
The others start telling Tanjirou to cheer for them as well and Tanjirou can't help but chuckle because they're always like that. It seems like their favorite way of joking is to pretend to fight over Tanjirou's attention.
"They're not pretending!" Nezuko tells him one day, rolling her eyes like she can't believe what her brother is saying.
"Of course they are! Come on, Nezuko... We have to rehearse!"
Most of the time, the hashira (the basketball team) like to attend the cheerleader team rehearsals... Tanjirou can't believe they also have time for that but he doesn't complain because they usually bring him food or sweets.
"I think there's something wrong with my uniform, Nezuko... Doesn't it look like the skirt is shorter than the others?"
His sister giggles.
"Yes, it does look like it, but you look good. Do you want me to tell them to give you another?"
Tanjirou looks down and after making sure he's wearing his short shorts underneath as well, he shakes his head. It's not that bad.
"You look amazing, my boy!" Kyojuro tells him with a huge grin on his face, the other Pillars seem to agree with him.
They dedicate all their victories to Tanjirou and always gather around him to take him in their arms, one at a time. He's not sure how though, but even Makomo, Muichiro and Shinobu (who are the shortest members of the team) manage to carry Tanjirou in their arms.
Sabito is very protective of him, he narrows his eyes at any student that gets too close to Tanjirou. It seems he trusts the other Pillars (although he sometimes frowns at Tengen and Sanemi) because he doesn't complain when they're the ones sitting or standing next to the redhead.
Kanae (Shinobu's sister) is the one who ends up persuading Nezuko to let Tanjirou hang out with them outside of school.
One day they all go to the mall and Tanjirou turns bright red when they end up buying every single thing Tanjirou likes. Mitsuri buys him a lot of cute skirts and Obanai a necklace.
Inside school they still try to talk to him in between classes; Gyomei finds his classroom and steps inside when they have a little bit of free time just to drop flowers on Tanjirou's desk.
"What's like to date the whole basketball team, Tanjirou?" One of his classmates asks, looking very excited for his answer.
"What?" The redhead stammers, turning completely red in seconds. "I'm not dating them! We're friends!"
It seems like neither the girl nor her friends believe him for a second because they roll their eyes at him.
"It's ridiculous to keep hiding it at this point! Besides, they're so bad at being subtle."
Fortunately, Tanjirou doesn't have to say anything to that because their teacher walks in the classroom at that moment.
"Tanjirou, if we win this game, we want you to give us a kiss," Sanemi blurts out, almost startling Tanjirou and the other cheerleaders with his presence.
A kiss on the cheek? Yeah, he can do it. They're friends after all.
"Okay!"
The wolfish grin on Sanemi's face makes him shiver for a moment.
"Great," Aoi rolls her eyes. "You just gave them a reason to completely destroy the other team."
They actually do that. They become feral during that game and don't give the others a chance to make a lot of points. It's devastating for the other team.
As soon as the game ends and everyone in the crowd is cheering for them, they run towards Tanjirou. The first one to lift him from the ground is Kyojuro and Tanjirou leans to give him a kiss on his cheek but he presses his lips against Tanjirou's instead.
His lips end up a little bit red and tender because the whole team kisses him on the mouth; they all are very enthusiastic and leave Tanjirou breathless for a while.
He enjoys it, although it surprises him and confuses him at first. When he spots the girl who asked him about the Pillars, he can't help but think that she was right...
Perhaps Tanjirou was already dating the whole team without even realizing it.

Drama Gossip: The Spirealm (致命游戏)
Tumblr media
Source: Google Images
It started off peculiarly; first, his domestic cat refused to let him cuddle it. Lin Qiushi soon found that a sense of disharmony and incongruity began to pervade everything around him. Then, one odd day, he pushed open a door, and he discovered that the hallway he was familiar with turned into a boundless corridor. At both ends of this corridor were twelve, identical iron gates. Thus, the story began.

I do not consume everything that has the 'entering a virtual game with real life consequences' plot-line but when I do, I more or less will enjoy them. The Spirealm is exactly that plot-line and after just finishing 19th Floor (another Chinese drama with similar concept), I was expecting more and hoping for lesser disappointment.
This drama did not disappoint at all. Lets first talk about the roles and the cast. Brilliant job on the casting, everybody pulled off their role so wonderfully, it felt like they were made for their roles. As for the characters these actors portrayed, wow. I haven't been obsessed with a fictional Chinese character in such a long time but Ruan Lan Zhu is so easy to be obsessed with. The writing was brilliant because I very quickly grew attached to the main people and when shit hit the fan, yeah, I felt everything as if I was a part of them.
Spoilers going on from here so if you haven't watched the show, go and watch it now, please?
As I was saying, I was so attached to some of the characters, I really, wow... Say Li Dong Yuan first. I actually already was spoiled with his death, I even knew which door was going to cause his death yet when it happened, I physically gasped. Then his farewell scene came about and goodness gracious, Xiao Zhuang's reaction was absolutely heart-wrenching. It really did not help that right before getting stabbed, the door Dong Yuan went through for Ling Ling was one of the most entertaining and comedic doors.
After that Zao Zao's death? She was already trying her best in the real world, she tried her best in the spirealm. She gave one of the best speeches ever. Yet that chandelier... I never hated chandeliers as much as I do now.
That's the thing about The Spirealm. This show has plenty of heartbreaking scenes but at the same time, it has a bunch of hilarious scenes too. You really can go from laughing one second and then depressed the next. Exactly like when Cheng Yi Xie sacrificed himself for his brother? One second I was laughing at Lan Zhu begging for Ling Ling's forgiveness and suddenly I was pissed but before I could even get real mad, I was hit with a broken heart. This may sound like a complain but the roller coaster of emotions made this drama ten times more interesting than other dramas.
Moving on to the game or doors or levels (however you want to call them). I really, really enjoy shows with this concept but many a times, the stakes just aren't high enough. Not The Spirealm though. I mean, look at Dong Yuan, Zao Zao and Yi Xie. They are part of the main leads and that world did not go easy on them. As much as I hate that they died, I really appreciated the high stakes in this drama. It made watching the show so much more worth it.
Anyhow, despite thoroughly enjoying this drama, I have so many questions. First things first, did I miss the significance of the necklace Lan Zhu gave Ling Ling during the first door?
Also (this is not that important by the way), when the time comes, the players have no choice but through the door. We've watched Ling Ling enter his doors plenty a time. Now tell me how did Wu Qi survive?
I may be someone who loves an ambiguous ending but if the theory that everything was not real is in fact real, I hate it. Yet, everything being a part of Ling Ling's dream or "hallucination" does make sense, as much as I hate it. Remember where Ling Ling walked into upon completing the first door? He entered the door in the middle of the road and exited it into his house? The discrepancies started right from the beginning. Which (if I did not miss anything) might explain the lack of significance behind the necklace. It will also explain why Ling Ling's time between each door is never long yet Wu Qi's not worried about his next door when he witnessed Dong Yuan's death? Or that Chen Fei's advancement is so much slower than Ling Ling. Furthermore, I'm supposed to believe the crew learnt about a mysterious man who helped Xiong Qi reunite with Xiao Ke in the spirealm and they did not investigate more?
I really do hate the everything was not real theory but I also cannot deny it's the most reasonable one. There was another theory I chanced upon on Douyin a while back and have since forgotten most of the information. However, I like that theory a lot even though it was quite farfetched. Long story short, the user theorised that after Lan Zhu walked into the portal and cleaned the program, Ling Ling woke up and regained consciousness after being hit, right? That's not reality but the 12th door and the door god for this last door is Lan Zhu. That was all I remember but the user did provide explanations and timestamps for their theory and upon reading it, it did make sense too. Therefore, if I ever come across that video again, I will link it here.
In the meantime, let's wallow in the conclusion of The Spirealm. It was a quick and short ride but an extremely memorable one.
Rating: ★★★★☆ (4.5/5)

buckle up, because shit's gonna be long af, as ferret!reader has been plaguing my mind even in classes, but also the writing is inconsistent because I've wrote both yesterday before going to sleep and today in my classes break.
also, didn't elaborate much on some of legend's one, but i totally could come up with at least three whole fics about it.
now this fungi 🍄 will go on with the content.
general, for the boys i couldn't elaborate much,
★ climbing the boys when shifted, if they wear various layers, like time and sky, getting under one of them to make the boys life even harder.
★ time especially would have a harder time getting you out of his armor, because of how clunky it is.
★ carrying minish four! maybe even playing chase and fighting not to drool all over him.
★ talking about minish, reader sharing their food with them, not even noticing what they did until wild asks where reader put all the snacks he gave them.
★ randomly biting the boys when feeling playful, especially wild, wind and hyrule who are more prone to take them on adventures
★ which takes me to: biting Time! he's there all serious planning the chain next moves and reader just want him to get more laid back for once... basically reader's body is moving before they can think.
★ normal ferrets hoard small items... reader as human is not small so.... yeah, try not to leave the things out of the bag for too long. yes captain, I'm looking at you and your long and vibrant scarf.
★ also... worsening eyesight or focus. reader just walking in the trails with the chain before they start wandering off to the sides, face plant into a tree or trip on something.
★ i believe time saw his whole life passing by his eyes when you almost ran into a cliff, after that he made sure you always walked between him and someone as trustworthy as himself, probably twi or warriors.
★ four and wind are not safe from the ocasional nip, as they are the smallest of the group and a worth hunt, per se. (also bunny legend!)
★ instant running whenever one of the boys go to them a little too fast, be it from fear or playfulness.
★ starting to like narrow places, reader just shoving themselves in any tree hole they find and chain having to find them.
★ ferrets are know to sleep at least 14 hours a day, and while i think that reader wouldn't get to that point because of the constant moving, any place for a nap, is a palce for a nap.
★  especially when it involves sky and his perfectly cuddly body. him and the cat experience, where he can't move as you're sleeping above him.
★ time just having exasperated mother energy whenever reader disappears, only to find them tucked away with one of the boys.
★ nightmares fuel for the ones who stand at night watch, since reader may start sleep talking or downright sit up, look at everyone and then get back to sleep.
★ warriors wondering from where the fuck all the fur clinging onto his clothes come from, and reader just brushing it off as some wild animal who walked into the camp.
puppy boy, twi,
★ twilight angry at reader for touching his necklace, until... bonding time, aka, "teaching" reader to hunt (is just the two fooling around and running after each other, really).
★ reader trying to wrestle twi, wolfie's form or not.
★ and failing miserably.
★ understanding one another when the instincts kick in a little too hard and they have to desperately hide it.
★ covering for one another at those times, and just using each other to get rid of it altogether, such as the bitings, hoarding, howling/dooking and all.
★ not noticing how the plan backfires and habits they had only when shifted starts to bleed through, and now everyone look at them suspiciously.
★ best boy carrying reader whenever they're in the dead asleep state, by shifting them and either carrying reader on his back as wolfie or getting reader in his fur coat.
★ twi acting like a worried mom whenever reader is gone for too long after shifting and he doesn't know what excuse to use with hyrule anymore.
★ but forgetting all about it when reader dooks at him kinda understanding how the others feel about wolfie.
★ just... grooming each other.
rulie, the pretty fairy boy,
★ the ferrets habits kicking reader harder by the day, and none of them having a clue about what to do, since they don't even know anything about the animal in question;
★ until in one of their calmer days reader just say they'll go for a nap since they're feeling a little tired, brushing off hyrule when he offers to check 'em up for any ailments;
★ nothing to worry, really, ur there all pretty and peachy sleeping soundly and safe... until you're not;
★ while hyrule goes to check up on you for dinner, you just... don't move, he taps you lightly, shakes you, try talking to you and even downright scream at you (which he would never do, if not for the awful circumstances);
★ nothing seems to work, and you're just there, limp and dead to the world (in their eyes at least), thus, chaos ensues;
★ hyrule's sobbing over your body (?), almost snarling at anyone who comes a little to close, he's already tried everything in his power to try to wake you up, even resorting to wild's cooking, wolfie's howling in the back as he's not allowed to approach, legend cursing under his breath about how it was a good riddance (excuse me, sir???), anyways, you get it;
★ and in the middle of all that mess, you just wake up, foggy mind trying to take in the messy vision before you and very much rid you of the bruising grip the traveller had you in, muttering something along the lines of "what's happening?", and they all just... stop;
★ turns out, in his panic attack hyrule forgot to even check if you were breathing;
★ you could feel that after that day, rulie's watchful gaze on you turned even stricter, not letting you get away from him for more than a 5 meters radius and not letting you touch anything he didn't recognize;
★ also... it's only after this incident that twi would be very serious about you reporting to him about any behaviour change you had after the first time you shifted;
★ and last one! reader getting overprotective about hyrule, fighting the urge to hiss at anyone who dared to badmouth the traveller, going as far as to get him away from the group as a whole to just nuzzle to him and "have him to yourself", and when not, just sleeping on his clothes and belongings like some sort of nest.
vet, our trash raccoon man,
★ if we're talking about player au where he's not fond of reader, i have some (many) sad news to him.
★ reader having to physically stop themselves from gripping at him and shaking him prove they are safe and trustworthy.
★ reader stealing many of legend items, especially the shiny ones. and forgetting about where they hid it right after.
★ if legend happened to be one of player!reader comfort characters, him just waking up to find reader nestled into him. panic.
★ legend trash talking reader, until they come up behind him and bite his nape, hard. he's not having any of that shit and is immediately throwing hands (as would i).
★ reader immediately running to twi when they see legend as a bunny, cue devious laugh.
★ shifted reader immediately running after bunny!legend, since he wouldn't know about your shifting yet.
★ him freaking out until he notices that you're not doing anything, and even letting him run away, or when you do get him, you just hold him without biting hard.
★ reader just dooking at legend while having him in your mouth, and he just.... lemme out bitch, no way i'm gonna die so pathetically.
★ i do think he'd notice that you're not a wild animal, but idk if he would notice that is you.
★ but when he does... oh boy, you better run, he's out for your head.
and that's all! also, search for ferrets dooking sounds if you never saw it, is the cutest thing ever! they even do a sort of sound like a breathy laugh or giggle when happy.
FUNGI I LOVED EVERY LAST BIT OF THIS, THIS WAS AMAZING!!!! OH AND PLAYER DOOKING ALL THE TIME IS SO CUTE I LOVE IT

the headcanon that avian hybrids give away feathers as a courtship ritual seems to be fairly popular in the fandom, so I am thinking about Grian giving some to his boyfriends.
Mumbo has a particularly beautiful one he keeps pinned to the lapel of his suit. He has a subconscious habit of preening it to keep his hands busy, keeping it pristine even when the rest of him is covered in engine grease and redstone dust. Grian laughs and says he can just have more, but Mumbo insists this one is special, it is the first one Grian ever gave him and he intends to take good care of it.
Scar has a necklace he can slot two or three feathers into. He was never good at keeping track of things and these are important enough that he does not want to risk losing them. Even so the feathers are easily exchanged for new ones, as they sometimes get destroyed when he suffers a particularly nasty death to kinetic energy. If the necklace gives him an excuse to walk around shirtless, well, who is he to complain? ("But Grian, how could I not show off these beautiful feathers of yours?" "Have you considered that you could simply wear them over your shirt?" "That just wouldn't be the same")
Big B's is also in a necklace, this one far simpler. Where Scar's was made on hermitcraft with all the time and resources in the world, this one was made with leather that Grian really could not spare, time he should have spent more wisely, a testament to his devotion. The single feather is perhaps even more beautiful than the one Mumbo owns, a beauty that is reserved for Big B's eyes only, as he wears it concealed under his many layers at all times. It is rare for items to stick with a player through respawn, rarer still through world-jumps. Only items of great sentimental value tend to get carried over. So it is only natural that after Big B wakes up back on his own world, he feels the feather hanging over his heart, a memento of his secret soulmate.
ANON I AM WAILING AT YOU??????
not only do you hit me with very sweet mumscarian buT BIGGRI AS WELL???? WAILS !!!!!!! /pos
ohmygod yes, I adore all of this. absolutely yes <333
mumbo’s one feather that he keeps very safe vs scar and his new feather every other week FBDHRGFF god I love them
and !!!! OUGHHH BIGB’S…… I think he keeps it on him at all times, but maybe he moves to keeping it in his pocket when he lands back in his own world. he keeps it close and very protected, taking good care of it. he makes a newer necklace with better materials and gentle hands that no longer need to carry weapons.
when he and grian see each again, grian just about cries at the sight of his feather, still held protectively by bigb

10 facts for via?
Ahhhh, absolutely!! Thank you so much for this ask, Siobhan!! (And I’m also gonna tag Via’s other fans @aceyanaheim, @endless-oc-creations, @ginevrastilinski-ocs, and @xoteajays. <3)
Via is an Aries, born in April, and you better believe she fits the stereotype - she’s stubborn as all hell and always has to get the last word in.
After Via’s magic and who her mother truly was is revealed, and Dean and Sam get over the shock of it all, Dean starts cracking all the Charmed, Bewitched, and even Hocus Pocus jokes he can, and doesn’t stop even when Via repeatedly threatens to turn him into a frog. (She would never actually do that, of course, but he is really annoying with all the references.)
Via is a very light sleeper; being a hunter, especially one who's been through as much as she and her family has, has trained her to bolt up at the slightest creak of floorboards.
Via's mother, Anne, really loved Christmas, especially Christmas music. All throughout the year, she'd have a Christmas CD she'd made playing while she cooked or did chores, and to this day Via still associates Christmas music with her mom.
She also has a charm necklace her mother gave to her for the last birthday they had together, silver with a little heart charm. It's one of the only things she was able to take with her after her mother died, and she'd go crazy if she ever lost it.
Her love languages are quality time for giving and words of affirmation for receiving.
She doesn’t exactly have a prom night, since that happens during the events of the series so she's on the road with Sam and Dean, but Sam does realize that it's prom season and puts on some music in their hotel room one night so they can dance, and even buys a cheap costume tiara to crown Via prom queen.
She once took the spark plugs out of the Impala when Dean ate half of her burger at a dinner when she went to the bathroom. He nearly killed her for tampering with his baby, but seeing the look on his face was worth it.
One of her biggest regrets is not realizing that she was a lesbian in time to come out to her mom before she died.
Though she shares Dean’s love of classic rock, Via also really loves folk and bluegrass music. She has some CDs of it that she can never convince Dean to play in the Impala, but the scratched-up MP3 player Sam got her for one of her birthdays is absolutely full of it.
Tumblr media
send me an oc and i’ll give you ten facts about them!!

Betrothal armbands changes things. 
If you’d like to know why Zuko has a necklace instead of an armband and why it has multiple stones I’ll explain under the cut! 
Click the pic for better quality and to see the stone carvings better! 
First off, love the idea of betrothal armbands so much. If you haven’t read The Dawn of Yangchen yet I highly recommend it! The reason I gave Zuko a necklace instead of an armband is twofold. First of all Sokka would have grown up with the idea/image in his mind that he was going to be giving someone a betrothal necklace one day so I think that would just be his preference. Also, the only time we ever see Zuko wearing armbands in the show is when he participates in an Agni Kai. We all know those aren’t exactly his most fond memories. So, necklace for Zuko. 
The reason his necklace has multiple stones (taken pretty much directly from the book but come on it was way too adorable) is pretty simple. We all know Sokka is pretty shit at carving. God I love him for it. So I think it would have taken him a few tries to get it right. Zuko also loves him for it and wanted to wear all of them with pride. Zuko on the other hand we know is canonically a gifted tsungi horn player and I just have this idea in my head that even if he wasn’t a very outwardly creative person that he would still be very good at artistic things. So, Zuko got his stone right on the first try. 
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk and seeing just how much time I spend thinking about this stuff.

The Eraqus and Xehanort swapped AU… 👀 @autumn-may-main @clankythecranky
So, in the Dark Road Swap AU, I decided not to change anything for the first part of the story so Xehanort still grew up on Destiny Island and was raised by Player.
But, this time Xehanort is a successful child of Destiny Island and also has the kingdom necklace since in this AU it's a pass-down gift in the Ephemer bloodline.
Sadly, Xehanort manages to lose it while going through the door of darkness.
But, he makes it to Scala and enjoys his time with also the people there. With one of the people being Eraqus. Eraqus was wary at first cause reeked of darkness but didn’t mind he had a new friend! A fast and close relationship grows between the two with also their love of chess and Scala ad Caelum's ancient history.
(Also maybe Grandchildren of Masters but hey, Xehanort doesn't know who his Grandpa is yet and only Eraqus so…)
Now I decided to make Eraqus more like Brain and have more of an interest in stuff and digging into it a lot than he usually should to the point it drives him crazy but Xehanort is always there to stop him. But most of the time Eraqus is just his normal self.
Xehanort also makes friends with Baldr and starts to bond over feeling light and darkness in people's hearts. They become close friends and Eraqus joining aside from them.
Now as for the Baldr and Hoder: I decided to switch to Baldr and Hoder which is funny because Hoder is originally associated with Night and Darkness but Square Enix uses that for Baldr's role instead of her so I guess I'm going by the original role.
Now in the story, one day Baldr informs Eraqus that he thinking of going to find his sister since he hasn’t seen her in a while, and the Mark of Mastery is coming up, and doesn't want her to miss it.
Eraqus got an off feeling about it but shrugged it off and encouraged him to find her.
During the main everything kinda plays out the same, that gang has to look for Baldr as well as their missing Upperclassmen. Except in each world, Xehanort and Eraqus started to feel a bit of dread and uncomfortableness building up every moment.
Not making it any better that learning Baldr is dead and they don’t know anything about whether their other classmates are safe since they also went through the Corridor of Darkness.
The boys find themselves in darkness alone, nothing else, not knowing how or if they’ll get home. Before Xehanort can tell Eraqus to put his armor on he sees Eraqus's almost lifeless body lying there. Eraqus gives up, he is tired. He told Xehanort to go without him and I told you, I wouldn't go as far as you…
Xehanort was baffled by his yet he wasn’t having any of it… “Not on my watch.” He said.
He helps Eraqus get his armor and tries to drag them out of there…
Xehanort thought to Eraqus's words but tried to not feed into them as much. “Maybe it’s just the darkness talking…” The boy could hold on any longer and ended up collapsing on the ground…That was until Master Odin found them.
The next day back in the classroom Eraqus seemed to be doing much better but a bit tired but still the same old Eraqus. It kinda gave Xehanort a bit of whiplash.
Everything after that, the duo fights the upper-classmen and Vor dies in the hands of Hoder which…Damn :(
Now as for the battle, I decided to do two things: The talk between Hoder and Xehanort is the same but Hoder starts to realize that Xehanort may not be as similar to her as she thought at the end…
As Hoder is being held down by Master Odin's chain she mentions to Eraqus that she realizes Xehanort seems to be his light while Eraqus seems to be always in his shadow…
Eraqus didn't really wanna hear this because to him it wasn't true. Defended him and said he would never be jealous of his best friend…Right?
Hoder begins to taunt Eraqus making him angry and leading him to strike her down.
Xehanort was shocked it was like the whole world was silent at that very moment…
So was Eraqus. He couldn’t even believe himself…Xehanort felt a sharp bit of pain in his heart and slowly started to realize…Those feelings of dread were from Eraqus but Darkness hadn’t taken his heart… Oh no, it was only the beginning of his heart going down a dark road…
I’ll go into debt about Xehanort and Eraqus’s relationship so more later this post is already long…
Edit: The first part of the story didn’t even get paste but it is here now!

H20 Just Add Water/Mako Mermaids sorta part 1
Only saw a smidge of Mako Mermaids aka the Rikki makes a five minute cameo episodes. Spoilers abound! Also there is no organization in this review, it jumps everywhere
---
Not sure what to make of Mako Mermaids because it kinda contradicts the previous show. Also only saw the two episodes where RIkki appeared, how does she have what looks like Cleo’s power? Also how did Zac move a coin without it being wet? Maybe the show explains, but they don’t say anything about how mermaids existed for years without the pod knowing unless they just didn’t care because ‘land people r dangerous’.
The ‘original three’ don’t make sense with MM either, Miss Chatham disappeared after season 1 because maybe she was going senile. She once said her friends were ‘gone’ then was given Julia’s necklace and was devastated...didn’t you already know she was dead? Or maybe it was just the thing that made it finite. Wish there was a story about them. They probably could have hired the actresses back or even new ones that kinda looked like them.
Does Charlotte deserve the necklace? Kinda because it’s her family’s treasure, but she went crazy and was kinda already possessive of Lewis. Then again, Gracie didn’t even want the thing and tossed it away so Charlotte could have found some other heirloom of her grandmother’s. Emma or no Emma? Bella kinda seemed like a copy of season 1 Cleo but slightly more outgoing. Would she like Emma? I think they’d be friends once they got to know each other. But then the importance of the necklaces are tossed aside.  If they were going to throw away the storyline of the ‘original three’ then why not send Charlotte on her way with the necklace? Where did she even go? Did she just tell her mom she didn’t want to live there or did she go live with her dad (assuming they’re divorced and he’s alive)? Vaguely at the end of season 2 she either implies she’s moving or she’s just going to avoid them. Lewis wasn’t upset enough at all the things she pulled. That’s a moment where Lewis should’ve been pissed, not a fake ‘I hate this kind of smoothie’ to get Rikki off his back and annoy Cleo less.
I don’t like Kim or Don’s attitude when it comes to his kids. Kim is literally a demon child and has been since the beginning. He says in season 2 ‘I liked it better when your mom handled these things’ but she didn’t do anything about the fights either. They hear the argument over the MP3 player and just leave instead of trying to sort it out or telling Kim to take the gift.
Why doesn’t Rikki tell her dad? It’s literally just the two of them and he obviously cares about her so telling him would make it easier on her. How does she do chores at home? She can’t heat clean dishes. Also, how did she get clothes on a clothesline if they’re wet? Does her dad have to hang up everything for her? That’s got to be embarrassing if you can’t explain why you can’t hang up your own underwear. I think he’d understand and she doesn’t seem like the type to be scared of what he thinks.
Elliot knows. He has to even if he doesn’t explicitly state it. There’s no way he saw his teammate slip on ice and didn’t think ‘probably Emma because she once gave me an icy shower’. At one point he probably thought they were scared something would happen if anyone found out so he kept quiet. He’s not a genius but he’s not an idiot either. He wasn’t five when he suspected it, he was eleven and an eleven year old isn’t likely to just drop it and accept his sister is just ‘different now’ without explanation. 
Kim is kinda dumb because she was told the tail was Cleo’s first attempt at a costume after accidentally getting splashed. Why would the immediate reaction to getting wet be ‘oh better go try my costume’? The fact that Cleo can make water do what she wants is a perfect opportunity to use them to wash dishes. Or get rubber gloves like when she used to feed the dolphins and scrub and put in a dishwasher that most likely exists. She lives in a nice house, she most likely has a dishwasher where Rikki might not have one.
Emma’s family is pretty well off because they live in a nice big house by the beach and she can hire cleaning and food services whenever she wants. Maybe they’re not as rich as Zane, but they’re still pretty wealthy. Also Harrison probably has a soft spot for Lisa and her family because she literally saved his life as a kid. How did Lisa Gilbert just not notice her daughter wasn’t friendly with Zane or Miriam? Where did Byron go? Were he and Emma officially together or still flirting when he vanished?
Watched a YouTuber who made a valid point that they leave doors open a lot. Mainly Emma’s. It doesn’t even have to be a full moon, they just leave doors open to a big house that probably has some very valuable stuff in it. It’s like the Full House vibes, you leave the door open/unlocked, how have you not all been murdered in your beds? (Rocki was ignored for a similar  statement in Fuller house but she’s right) Full/Fuller House is worse because the kids at the beginning are so young, literally less than a year old, five ish, and 10-12. I can see Emma and Elliot putting up a fight, but not the Full House kids except maybe for young DJ, Jackson, and Ramona. FH is another discussion though, back to mermaids.
Ash also disappeared and his reaction seemed weird. Everyone was at least stunned when they discovered it but he seemed nonchalant as if he knew the entire time which he didn’t. ’Forget it’ in an Australian accent is stuck in my head because everyone, mainly Emma, says it so often it hurts.
