Fucking hell Nightbringer really gave me everything huh god
Henry 1.0 origin story
Cerberus origin story
Satan's cat thing origin story
"Goldie in Freezer" origin story
Levi's Ruri-chan obsession origin story
Mammon being scared of ghosts/horror origin story
More in depth version of Solomon & Asmo's first meeting/pact origin story
A painful reason for why Asmo's room looks like that
What the tsl characters would have been like irl (the absolute worst wtf simeon)
Mammon's issues finally discussed in depth
Mammon being extremely ride or die for Lucifer
Almost instant Mammon & MC friendship
Mammon being just so amazed by MC and also insanely supportive of them
Mammon being willing to do anything for his brothers, being more sure of himself, almost instantly following Lucifer's orders and making the others do so as well
Levi's issues discussed in depth.
Levi straight up saying he was depressed and still is
Levi's friendship with MC!
Levi & Lucifer's relationship!!!!!
Levi being shy and scared and just so 😖
Things being bad in the Celestial Realm even before they left
Asmo's issues being discussed in depth
Asmo very explicitly having body dysmorphia
The brothers being much more supportive and loving of each other
Lucifer being visibly scared of losing another family member and being insanely overprotective because of it
The brothers being slowly overtaken by their sins (something that was always a part of them but also something they could control as angels) and losing control of themselves
The brothers gaining new magic
Satan being a fucking mess
Satan not really fitting in and all of them being really awkward around him
Satan's issues being discussed in depth
Belphie's issues being discussed in depth
Belphie expressing passive suicidal ideation
Belphie talking about how he needs someone to blame for what happened to Lilith so he can process it/make sense of it even if that someone is himself
Lucifer's issues being touched on from from different perspectives/angles
Diavolo's issues being hinted at
Simeon's issues being vaguely discussed
More about Lilith! (remember my post about how lilith definitely wasn't a sweet little angel because there's no way the universe would let lucifer catch a break? I was right!!! She was as much a little shit as the rest of her family!)
More about the demon king! (He wanted to stop the war too🥺 also a whole line of previous demon kings!)
More about god/how angels work (all angels are brothers & sisters but not technically family the way lucifer & his siblings are!)
ADAM!?!?!?!?!?
Solomon & MC's Sorcerer & Apprentice relationship seen in full detail!
MC being absolutely amazing
MC being competent and powerful and dangerous and resourceful and confident and the brothers realising all that but them also being funny and snarky and chaotic and outgoing and homesick and caring
References to present (s1-s4) brothers (& how they'll tear solomon apart if he doesn't bring MC back)
NIGHTBRINGER!? BARBATOS!!!??? but past barbatos doesn't seem to know anything about MC and present barbatos is helping solomon bring MC back....so who...?
References to Noble demons and conservative demons and devildom politics
Angel - Demon prejudice /racism from both sides explicitly shown
The brothers being war criminals and how the devildom sheltering them nearly re-started the war between the two realms
None of them being able to identify MC as a human (it takes Diavolo a long time + Lucifer straight up denies it when MC tells him), Adam & Nightbringer saying MC has the "power of angels", MC's favourite manga being one where the youngest child out of 7 is described as being angelic (*cough*lilith*cough*), Diavolo, even after knowing MC is a human, going "what are you"..... me softly chanting: nephilim!mc nephilim!mc nephilim!mc
The lessons flow better? It doesn't feel like one arc is squished into two lessons and then you must immediately jump into another different arc. It feels like it's all just happening in a connected sequence?
Better pacing in my opinion. It doesn't feel rushed.... like the part where satan discovers cats and then later is seen still sitting next to the cat and watching it? It feels appropriately spaced out
MC's relationships with everyone doesn't feel isolated. Like earlier there'd be a lesson or two dedicated to one character and we won't see much of the other characters during it. Now it feels like everyone is there interacting with everything in a normal, natural way. Yes there are lessons dedicated to getting to know one brother but the others are there, interacting with each other and MC during that time as well
The emotions & relationships are discussed/written in a way that feels very real and believable that it becomes actually really moving (s1-s4 also did this well but in nightbringer because of arcs/scenes/relationships not being isolated, of things flowing better and having a better pacing, of them outright discussing their issues it has a greater impact - yes I cried more than once shut up)
In the end, Nighbringer is darker than og OM! but not in the "grrr gonna kill you" way. It's "darker" because they address more serious topics in depth

Nora Finds Fear
Based on OSP's retelling of "The Boy Who Found Fear At Last"
Mama Valkyrie: (Screams)
Nora: Mommy? Why are you screaming?
Mama Valkyrie: The wind blew the door open, and it scared me!
Nora: It... scared you? What's scared?
Mama Valkyrie: Well, um, it's like a really bad feeling you get when you think something bad is going to happen to you.
Nora: Like what?
Mama Valkyrie: It's worse if you don't know.
Nora: That's dumb.
Nora: (Leaves without saying good-bye)
Mama Valkyrie: (No longer in this story)
----------------------------------------------
Nora: (Sees mountain in the distance) Ooh~!
Nora: (Hears laughter, Squeezes between bandits)
Raven: And that's when I stabbed him! (Bandits laugh)
Nora: What are you guys talking about? (Bandits scream)
Raven: If you're looking for fear, then I'm afraid you've found it! (Draws Omen)
Nora: Really? Where?
Raven: ...
Raven: (Sulks)
Shay: There, there, boss. You're still very terrifying.
Vernal: Uh, there's a graveyard nearby you could try. Here, bake this cake while you're down there.
Nora: Thanks~!
----------------------------------------------
Nora: (Baking cake in a cemetery)
Pyrrha: (Reaches out) IS... THAT... FOR... ME?
Nora: Nope! (Whacks hand with spoon) Dead people can't eat cake.
Nora: (Takes cake, Leaves)
Raven: (Still sulking)
Shay: Look, boss. The weird girl brought cake. You should try it.
Vernal: Uh... There's a spooky pool of water on the other side of the mountain.
Nora: Ooh! I like the sound of that!
----------------------------------------------
Jaune: (Crying on a swing set over pool)
Nora: Huh...
Saphron: Please! You have to help my baby brother!
Nora: I do?
Saphron: Here, let me get on your shoulders so I can reach him!
Nora: Okay. (Saphron stands on shoulders) Just let me know when you got him. (Saphron pushes down) OOGH! S-Stop it! (Throws her) Alright, I'm done! Hm? Ooh! Shiny white bracelet!
Nora: (Takes bracelet from the ground, Jaune and Saphron disappear) Hey, problem solved~!
Nora: (Wanders into town)
Blake: Hey. I'm an unexpected reminder of the casual occurrence of faunism in historical literature. That's my one personality trait, and also that bracelet is mine.
Nora: Tell it to the judge!
----------------------------------------------
Ironwood: You claim you "won it from a ghost". And your claim is...
Blake: I'm a sneaky and conniving trickster and boy do I hate humans.
Ironwood: Uh huh... Well, seeing as both claims are so far-fetched, despite being an old fairy tale of dated historical relevance, I have no choice but to hold onto this bracelet until I can be provided with a bracelet just like this one to prove ownership.
----------------------------------------------
Nora: (Unfazed by complex legal system, Still no fear) Stupid judge...
Nora: (Sees ship sinking with people screaming) Ooh~!
Nora: (Swims over) What's the matter? Are you guys stuck? (Screamed at) Uh... Okay, I'll take a look!
Nora: (Dives, Sees Weiss dragging boat down)
Nora: (Punches woman, Ties her up)
Weiss: What just happened?!
Nora: (Gurgles, Blurgles)
Nora: (Swims up) Okay! Try her again!
----------------------------------------------
Nora: (In an enchanted forest)
Nora: (Experiencing whimsy) Is this existential dread?
Nora: Huh? (Sees three birds flying nearby, Watches birds transform)
Saphron: You will not believe the night I had!
Pyrrha: Try me, sister.
Weiss: So, there was this bird~.
Pyrrha: (Pours drink) A toast to the brave girl who smacked my hand away when I was coming out of my grave!
Saphron: (Raises drink) A toast to the fearless girl who threw me off of her shoulders when I tried to drown her!
Weiss: (Swigs drink) And a toast to the weird girl who swam to the bottom of the ocean to fight me IRL.
Nora: DO YOU- Stop screaming- Do you have another bracelet?
Saphron: (Leads to enchanted treasure hall) Are you sure you don't want anything else?
Nora: (Walking away with bracelet) Nah, I'm good!
----------------------------------------------
Nora: READ IT AND WEEP, OLD MAN!
Ironwood: I will do no such thing.
Nora: (Walking away happily with bracelets, Sees crowd) What's going on?
Oscar: We're about to have a new king!
Nora: Does that happen a lot?
Oscar: ...No. Anyway, since the king died with no heirs, we have a foolproof plan to determine who our next king will be! See, a pigeon will be released from the top of the castle wall, and whoever it lands on will become our new king!
Nora: Wow! That's so much better than a democratically elected system! Huh? (Pigeon lands on her) Oh. Would you look at that?
Oscar: ALL HAIL THE KING! (Crowd cheers)
Suddenly, Nora feels something. Sees something. She peers into a window of the future, one most uncomfortable. She was bound to a throne, tied by a sense of obligation and responsibility, and forced to spend the rest of her life trying and failing to make the poor richer, the hungry satiated, and the bad better. Never again would she have her freedom to wander and do as she pleased. Nora's chest became tighter, and her breathing shallower. Her vision began to blur as tears filled her eyes and spilled over from her cheeks. Her heart began to ache so much, she brought a hand to where it tried to rest, and found her arm, her fingers shaking with this strange new emotion! Was... Was this the fear she sought?
Robyn: Huh... She doesn't look to happy.
Nora: My carefree lifestyle! My free time! My vibes!
Qrow: We gotta reassure her! RELEASE MORE PIGEONS!
Nora: (Sobbing, Covered in pigeons) Thanks, you guys... I'm good now... (Crowd cheers)

Part 4 of the mbappe fic where jude, Kobe and kylian meet irl + the mom too cuz why not. Sorry for asking too much but this is too good 😫🤚❤️
Face to face (Kylian Mbappe x Reader)
Tumblr media
Warnings: so much teasing, your brothers being little shits
Masterlist
Pt 1 Pt 2 Pt 3 Pt 5
If it were for you, this wouldn't be happening right now, but after your mother threatened to go to Paris herself to meet your boyfriend, you couldn't delay this anymore, so that takes you here, standing in front of your family's front door, hand in hand with the Kylian Mbappe.
Unfortunately, it's Jude who opens the door, eyebrow raised and pretended disgust as he looks you both up and down.
"Jobe! They are here!"
That call definitely did not sound good, your boyfriend giving you a confused look as you tense up.
You were right to be suspicious, as your little brother decides for some reason to come out to greet you both wearing a pair of boxing gloves, struggling to hug you then lightly hitting Kylian.
"Hello, Kyky" he greets "Prepared to fight?"
"This has to be a joke..." you sigh, unbelieving of your brother's antics, glaring at Jude snickering in the background.
Kylian, Kyky, smirks "I mean, I forgot my gloves, but we can do this the traditional way, unless you are too afraid to face me without the fancy gear"
You give him a wide eyed look "You have to be kidding me-Mum! Your sons are being weird again!"
The two brats glare at you "Snitch" they say.
You mum comes out of the house, your father close behind, both pushing through your gigantic brothers to tightly embrace you, your mother leaning to whisper into your ear.
"You and I still have a long conversation pending" wide smile that gives you the creeps when she talks, Jude and Jobe sticking out their tongues at you.
She separates from you, your father still taking you into his arms, you watch as your mum observes your boyfriend for a minute, before truly smiling and also hugging him -the look of betrayal in your brothers' faces hilarious.
"It's so nice to finally meet you, Kylian, you don't know how much I longed to finally meet the man who has my little y/n so head over heels.
"It's so nice to finally meet you too, Mrs Bellingham, I can definitely see who my dear y/n got that amazing smile from"
She laughs, Jude groans, it's your father's turn to greet your boyfriend, you can sense the evil and self-satisfied vibes coming from your brothers.
Your father has always been hard on your boyfriends, they know he will be on their side.
The older man looks the footballer up and down, blank look on his face.
He then smiles, kind greeting as his sons call him a traitor.
But what can your dad say? He is a true lover of good footballers, and Kylian looks nice enough.
Your mother calls you both to enter, hitting Jude and Jobe on the back of their heads as they try to put up mean faces.
Dinner is already set, and you have to fight off Jude as he tries to sit in between Kyky and you -little shit, he glares at your for the mumbled insult.
Jobe struggles to eat with the boxing gloves -he states Kylian is looking for the chance to catch him off guard and start their fight.
For some reason, Jude feels the need to tell Kylian all about the Erling Haaland being into you.
"Be careful, Kyky, or Erling might steal my sister from you"
Kylian laughs "He can try, but something tells me your sister has a clear preference in between us both"
"I honestly am curious to know if this little quarrels of yours will keep on going if you both do end up playing on the same team"
"Yeah, I will be like: Kyky, pass me the ball! Erling used to do it faster, you fucking idiot!"
"Jude!"
"Sorry, Mum"
Kylian pays no mind to Jude's words -he knows the Borussia Dortmund's player to be a little shit as you have told him so multiple times.
"When is our fight starting?" Jobe asks, everyone else having almost finished eating as he keeps on struggling.
"You know I am not going to fight you, right?"
"Ha! Coward!"
You turn to whisper to your mother "And you wonder why I waited so much for this to happen"
Dinner is over, and you all lazy around the living room, honestly, more of a "interrogating Kyky session" -you throw cushions at your brothers for their stupid questions.
Your boyfriend suddenly perks up "Oh, right, Jobe, I have something for you"
The youngest instantly stands up, getting away, raising his arms in a defensive way "Please, don't punch me!"
"Who is the coward now..." you whisper, he glares at you.
"Don't worry, Jobe, we won't fight until you give the sign, this is something else" he reaches down to his bag, searching through his packed up clothes before finally taking it out "Here you go"
Jobe hesitantly takes the package, eyes widening up as he sees it's contents "No way..."
"There you go, my shirt, given to you by me as you wished"
"You know where that would look amazing?" you ask "In your room, right in front of your study table, it will for sure upgrade your bedroom"
"But that is where he hung up my shirt!" Jude protests.
"Exactly, so much better"
He turns to you mum "Are you going to let her talk like that to me?"
"I mean, it's a pretty good gift, Jude"
"Mum!"
Your father looks almost shy as he opens his mouth, but before he can even talk, Kyky hands him too a package, smiling reassuringly as your father smiles happily.
"Seriously? You are all a bunch of traitors"
"I suppose you don't want yours"
"... I know realise why you are with my sister, you are both asshats"
Still, he happily takes his gift, your mother does too.
It gets late, everyone bidding goodbye as you all retire to your rooms, you taking Kyky's hands, taking him up to your room.
He admires where you grow up, looking around even if you are tangled up, cuddling, talking nonsense.
The door suddenly opens, you sit up, annoyed when you see both your brothers walking in without any notice, sleeping bags in hand.
"What do you two think you are doing?"
"A sleepover, of course" Jobr says as if it was obvious.
"Mum and Dad don't want grandkids yet, and besides, you want us and Kyky to get to know each other better, don't you?"
Your parents sure are confused to see the empty sleeping bags the next morning, Jude and Jobe having annoyingly thrown themselves to sleep in top of you and Kylian.
It surely will be a long week.

☁️ BROTHER'S BEST FRIEND #6
summary ⎯  venus has had her eyes on her brother's best friend chris for as long as she can remember but she is far too scared that's all she is to him, his best friend's little sister. what happens when she realises he sees her in a different light and how will she and chris keep it hidden from her brother who has always told his friends never to meddle about with his sister.
part one! ♯ part two! ♯ part three! ♯ part four! ♯
part five!
warnings ⎯  suggestive and sexual, eventual smut, chris x fem!oc, fluff, cursing, kind of angst (?)
A/N ⎯  finally working on something with parts to it so i'm excited!! as a reminder, leo and venus do not exist irl, i just chose any random names for the sake of the story.
i hope you enjoy <3
CHAPTER A/N ⎯ i was supposed to be studying but i decided to write this instead. this is based on a request i got about chris and a volleyball reader but seeing as venus is already a volleyball player, i thought i'd just include it here. it isn't letting me reply directly to the request but this is for you anonymous. this is also the final chapter of brother's best friend, i hope you all loved it!! i'll start working on my other requests once exams are over <3
❛ ━━・❪ ִ ࣪𖤐 ❫ ・━━ ❜
"matt hurry the fuck up! i'm not going to be late," chris' voice travels from downstairs to matt's room and a few moments after, matt comes trotting down the stairs with an apologetic expression on his face.
"fucking finally, i thought kid's ears were going to start releasing steam because of how annoyed he was," nick gestures towards chris who rolls his eyes but chooses not to respond, instead opening the front door and making his way quickly to matt's car because matt decided he didn't mind taking all of them to venus' volleyball match.
it's one of the final matches in this new tournament her team is competing in and it's honestly a pretty big deal. if they make it through this competition within the top three spots, they'll qualify to the next competition. venus has been going on about it and chris honestly finds it adorable; he loves listening to her ramble and explain every little detail excitedly. he also loves going to support her in every match. he hasn't missed a single one since they got together and he doesn't plan on doing so either which is exactly why he's annoyed at matt for taking so long. he doesn't want venus to think he isn't coming to cheer her on before the start of a very important game.
"relax we're going to make it on time, i promise," matt reassures him as he steps into the driver's seat and begins pulling out of the driveway.
chris doesn't really pay attention to the conversations happening in the car as they continue to approach their destination because he's too busy thinking about seeing venus in her element. he doesn't even completely register matt parking the car until the car door at the back opens and nick steps out of the car. chris follows with an eager smile planted across his face as they make it towards the top of the stands where family and friends of players can easily find one another.
as soon as they reach the top, chris immediately spots leo who's busy texting on his phone. he approaches his best friend and pushes his back slightly, making him jump but then break out into a large smile.
"you're here, thank fuck. venus keeps messaging me to ask if you're here," leo shakes his head, turning his phone so chris can read the multiple exchanges back and forth between the siblings where venus is doing exactly that.
chris isn't by any means late, in fact the match isn't set to start for another fifteen minutes but he's usually a lot earlier, staying with venus behind closed doors and reassuring her until the game begins. he feels bad that she probably has been worrying all on her own, without him there to tell her it'll all be okay.
"where is she?" he asks leo with a frown and leo tells him the specific room number she's occupied alone and so he quickly parts ways with his best friend and brothers, their chatter with one another fading as he walks away to the room.
he knocks on the door a couple times and waits until he hears the familiar sound, "come in."
he opens the door and sees venus physically ease, the tension in her shoulders disappearing slightly at the mere sight of him. he opens his arms out for her and she steps into his embrace with no difficulty, pressing a small kiss to his cheek and inhaling his scent to provide herself with a form of stability within the nerves that are circling through her.
"hey ma," he whispers into the hug before she pulls away, a nervous look now planted across her face that makes chris' heart swell slightly.
"i'm sorry, i'm just worried," she tells him when she notices the sympathetic gaze he's giving her.
she doesn't want to be on the receiving end of sympathy but it's so hard for her to mask her feelings around her boyfriend. there's something about chris that makes it so easy to be her genuine self and showcase her genuine feelings. she's rather grateful for it because she doesn't feel like she has to be someone else or put on a facade of some sort just so chris likes her and can handle her. he likes her for who she is, flaws included and that makes her heart feel full.
"venus, i barely knew anything about volleyball before i became your boyfriend and then the moment i did, i became some sort of expert all because of you. you weren't even making me feel bored when you taught me everything because it was so obvious you loved everything about what you were saying. this is your thing saturn and every single game i come to, everyone in the crowd has eyes on you, especially me. you're going to be amazing and i'm going to be here watching you and cheering you on through every last minute, okay?"
venus nothing short of melts due to his words. they travel straight to her heart and for a moment, she's unable to do anything, too thankful and in utter adoration of the person standing in front of her. she eventually does connect their lips and it's her way of responding to chris without having to say anything at all. the kiss is intense because she's pouring every ounce of admiration she has for him into it. she doesn't ever want to pull apart because of how right his lips feel against hers. it's not even sexual she finds herself thinking, it's pure and fierce and as though she's a warrior defending the love she has for chris.
the love she has for chris.
neither one of them has said anything about love just yet but venus knows when she looks at chris, when she hears his voice, when he's simply him; she is in love. when they pull apart, she knows for certain the emotion running through her veins is real and she'd be damned if she doesn't tell chris exactly what she's thinking.
"chris..." there's a pause where he nods his head and smiles at her softly, making every last bit of doubt fly out of her, "i love you."
the smile she receives reminds her why she loves him. he looks so fucking thrilled at the thought of her loving him and his cheeks turn the slightest bit pink. she thinks he looks beyond adorable and when he starts to reply, she swears she loses sense of anything but him and the sound of his gentle voice.
"i'm in love with you," it's like reassurance for something she never even knew she needed.
there is no doubt in her head that she loves chris but the thought that he might not love her is always present. now, it's not as though she thinks it's chris' obligation to love her but the emotions she feels when he confirms that he does feel the same are greater than any before.
"come here," he pulls her into his chest and hugs her so tightly, she can almost feel his love transferring onto her.
"now come on, you're going to go out there and be the best player ever like i know you are," he turns her body around and leads her closer to the door.
he watches the slight sway in her body as she walks for a few steps and god he's so in love with everything about her. his hands go to either side of her waist and stop her in her tracks. she doesn't turn around, simply waits for him and practically shudders when he pushes her beautiful ponytail over her left shoulder and his lips brush against her neck from the right.
"those shorts are going to be the end of me," he speaks against her skin and she laughs, relishing in the soft touch he provides.
he steps back and admires her before delivering a small, playful slap to her ass that makes her body jolt in a way he wants to replay in his mind forever. she turns around with a sheepish grin and he can't help but return the expression.
"let's make a deal," he tells her and she raises her brows at him, turning around entirely so now their eyes are looking into one another’s.
"when you win, i'm going to lower those shorts just a little so i can fuck your brains out," he whispers and she splutters on air before a smirk settles on her face.
the way he says when instead of if makes her heart flutter and his words certainly aren't helping but, in all honesty, she loves the sound of them. she nods her head in agreement eagerly, "remember that time you said you'd make the fuck out with me if i won?"
she reminds him of the time before they even got together where he was about to say something along those lines before leo walked in and he beams at her. of fucking course, he remembers but knowing she remembers just as well makes it all the more worth it.
"what are you trying to say?" he's teasing because he knows exactly what she means; to be frank, he just wants to hear her say it.
the smirk doesn't leave her face when she answers, "you can do exactly that whilst i sit on that pretty little lap in these exact shorts."
he groans. he actually groans at the thought and she loves the way she can see the effect she has on him because she's more than aware he has the same effect on her. they both drive each other crazy and they truly love it beyond words can explain.
"guess my dreams are gonna come true. come on, let's go before your team wonders where you are. good luck ma," he presses a short but sweet kiss to her lips and she smiles into it, thanking him shortly before they go separate ways to their respective areas.
chris returns to the stands where his brothers and leo are looking around for him with a grin on his face. when they spot him, they finally sit back down in relief.
"took your fucking time," leo narrows his eyes at him in suspicion.
if only he knew.
"i was helping saturn," he shrugs, blocking out their responses and glancing at the time displayed on one of the screens extremely close by.
two more minutes until he knows venus will absolutely destroy the other team. two more minutes until he's guaranteed to fuck her in those pretty little shorts. two minutes until he's the proudest boyfriend all over again for yet another game.
maybe he just really wants to see venus play but the two minutes seem to drag for an eternity so when the players finally get into their positions, he sits up in his seat and quickly locates venus. a proud smile settles on his face when he notes she's going to be the one to serve. even if she wasn't serving though, he can’t confirm that he'd be looking at the game because all he can seem to do is stare at her.
the whistle blows to signal the start of the game and her serve is perfect, in fact everything about her is perfect and chris is in complete awe. he watches the game eagerly, not peeling his eyes away from her for even a second and grinning like never before when her team's points pile up in contrast to other team's few. he observes her every move and anytime she's the one to score, he goes absolutely crazy. people even turn back to stare at who's making such commotion but he doesn't care in the slightest; he's here to support his girlfriend and that's exactly what he's doing.
after around an hour and ten minutes, the game comes to a close and that means their team is through to the next round. chris goes insane in the crowds and he can hear his brothers and leo doing the exact same. he watches as venus looks to stand to find him and when she does, the smile on her face is the prettiest thing he has ever seen. he beams at her, clapping loudly, making her shake her head fondly. she smirks for a second as she snaps the waistband of her shorts against her skin; chris cheers even louder at that.
"you were fucking amazing," he finally tells her when she's stepped away from leo, nick and matt.
"i was thinking about how you fuck amazing," she retorts and he laughs loudly, a glimmer in his eyes as he captures her hand in his own and leads them to matt's car.
"i should've brought my car," he groans quietly to her when the others enter the car and matt begins driving them to the triplets' house.
"patience, we'll say you're taking me out to eat and while leo stays at your house, we can go back to my place and do whatever," she responds softly and he nods his head, rubbing circles against her hand with his thumb delicately.
they do as planned and so chris takes his car and they begin driving home. the only thing on his mind is venus. every last thought is screaming her name and when she places her hand on his thigh and inches closer to his dick, he swears he loses all composure.
"venus," he warns her and when he glances to the side, she has this perfect, teasing smile on her face that he just wants to kiss senseless.
"keep driving, we're ten minutes away," she tells him but he can't for the life of him focus on the road when her hand is dangerously close to where he needs her.
the thoughts of her start getting to him and he can feel himself begin to harden in his sweatpants. he groans and starts driving faster in the hopes of getting to her house as fast as possible. she notices the increase in speed and laughs inaudibly to anyone but herself. her eyes glimmer when she notices chris getting hard and she finds herself getting more and more turned on by the second. she stares at nothing but the familiar outline being showcased through his sweatpants and her movements against his thigh go still.
he doesn't notice at first until at least a minute passes and her hand is still on his thigh and her eyes are still trained in the same spot. he grins and turns to her briefly, "you have to be good and wait saturn."
and oh fuck. he is not helping in the slightest and she starts to understand why he was so frustrated just seconds before. she needs him and she needs him now.
"chris," she whines a little and he hums in response, "i need you."
"we're just over five minutes away," he plays her at her own game and she throws her head back against the chair.
"please," she mumbles and how on earth is he meant to deny her of anything when she sounds so desperate and beautiful all for him?
they're lucky there are secluded areas nearby that people rarely go to because chris drives around a minute until they reach one and then he parks the car.
"get in the back," he instructs and she doesn't even hesitate for a second, instantly moving to climb into the back and falling into the seat when chris slaps her ass in the process.
said boy gets out of the car and slams his door shut before moving to sit beside her in the back. as soon as his back hits the seat, she moves to straddle his legs and kisses him as though she has no other purpose. the kiss is eager and desperate and shows her want flawlessly. the feeling of her grinding against him in those shorts he fucking loves gets him even harder and he just needs to be inside of her before he implodes.
"fuck baby, i need to be in you," he says against her lips and she moans in satisfaction, lifting her hips lightly in a message that chris understands immediately.
he pulls her shorts down ever so slightly so that he can align himself with her whilst she still has them sitting perfectly on her thighs and his sweatpants down to his knees. he teases her for a while, not quite giving her what she wants and she whimpers in need.
"please chris, need you so badly," she grinds harder against him and the skin on skin sensation drives him crazy.
"you have me," he smiles softly and then slams into her like he's made to do that and that alone.
she falls into his chest at the rough thrusts and he grins, his hands moving to either side of her waist to keep her upright. her pants fill the car and when she meets him halfway her with her grinding, moans start to escape his lips uncontrollably. the sound of arousal fills the air and is like music to their ears, making them increase their paces to hear the tune more.
her lips press against his whilst he slaps her ass again. he really is in love with her ass but when it's paired with his favourite shorts, he swears he's on cloud nine. he moans when she bites at his earlobe and thrusts into her faster, practically making her scream. chris loves the way she doesn't hold back from screaming her pleasure. it makes him want to thrust into her forever.
skin on skin, tongues against tongues and moans warming the car is sending them both beyond the edge. chris' thrusts are getting faster because he knows the two of them are close. he can feel her clenching around him and forming incoherent words as she moves against him.
"fuck, fuck, fuck," she yells as she presses legs against him and begins to cum, the sight making chris reach his orgasm too.
they cum together with sloppy kisses and rushed movements and they swear there's no greater feeling than the intimacy of sex and cumming together in a union of the souls.

idk if you do big bro! baro hcs BUT IF U DO I HAVE A REQ!!
can u do a big bro baro’s reaction when he finds out you’re dating isagi or rin? like he just saw you and you bf come out of a cafe after a date, FCKING HOLDING HANDS like what😺 u have gotta be kidding him
hehe i love baro who has a soft spot for his baby sis🤭
If I do big bro Barou? BRO BRO LOOK AT MY BAROU MASTERLIST AHAHAH (I assume you're new here and didn't know which is fine!!!🫶) he's literally my fav big bro to write KJFSDSAA (also I'm his sister irl😼(real))
Requests open! - masterlist
Tags: gn!younger sibling!reader, overprotective big bro!Barou, reader dates Isagi
-you came along when Barou went bowling and also met the other guys from Blue Lock when they came across him. You pretty much fell in love at first sight with Isagi
-Barou was a bit oblivious and didn't realize something started between Isagi and you because he was busy being annoyed by the fact that so many of the Blue Lock players randomly appeared
-you and Isagi exchange numbers without Barou noticing it
-a few days later, you and Isagi go on a date. Your brother knows NOTHING about it
-when he realizes you're not at home and don't respond to his calls, he goes to the city and looks around your favourite areas
-he's just walking around somewhere and sees you walking out of a cafe with someone. You're too far away for him to recognize who you're with, tho. He only recognizes you because of your jacket
-seeing you holding hands with someone already makes Barou's blood boil a little, but when he gets closer to you and recognizes it's Isagi, he gets VERY angry
-he really wants to run after you two and tear you apart. But he also doesn't want to interrupt or destroy your happiness. He already destroyed one of your dates and scared one of your crushes off a while ago and you were heartbroken about it, so he decides to keep back for now
-Barou goes back home, but he can't accept the fact that you're on a date with Isagi. He just waits for you to return so he can ask you all sorts of questions
-once you arrive at home, you get bombarded with questions from your older brother. You can barely answer even one of them because he keeps asking new ones
-you immediately notice Barou is very emotional about this and apparently not happy about you going on a date with Isagi. It makes you nervous to tell Barou that Isagi is your boyfriend now
-you still tell him, though. And for a moment Barou is speechless,. Then he goes on to ask why you would jump into a relationship this quickly and how it happened in the first place
-luckily, you know just right how to calm your brother down and how to reassure him everything is fine. Even though he's not a fan of your boyfriend being Isagi, your happiness is way more important to your big brother so he promises he won't try to get between anything
-he still curses Isagi in the back of his mind, though. Also, this definitely makes their rivalry stronger

I've just spent a half hour thinking about the validity or invalidity of Imogen as a horse girl from the mind of an irl horse girl. my findings:
Imogen lacks classic horse girl energy. A classic horse girl is high-energy, someone who buys a lot horse related books/toys and runs around an empty field pretending to be a horse and puts on one-girl "dressage" shows while pretending to be a pretty pony. Imogen does not seem like she has ever had that kind of energy. In fact, at first glance, she reminds me much more of A Person Who Has Ridden A Horse, which is a separate breed entirely from horse girl. Imogen did once make a statement about horses being "majestic" or something similar* (yes I tried to find it in the transcript, no I did not succeed, and yes if you search the word "horse" in the transcripts you will get a bevy of colorful results), but did not say it with the manic intensity of a classic horse girl, which indicates to me the sort of rose-tinted glasses worn by someone who has not actually worked at a stable. As someone who has worked at a barn myself, let me tell you, somewhere between dumping wheelbarrows of shit, dodging the ones that bite (it's always the ponies), and chasing rebellious little shits around the paddock because they don't want to come in, the glasses stop being quite so rosy.*
Now, of course, all this is mitigated by the fact that Laura Bailey herself is not a horse girl--there are things one cannot expect her to know. After all, this is the same woman who, on a dime, said horses had "paws" in c3e17. That said, Laura Bailey is capable of playing a horse girl. It's just that that character is Jester Lavorre.
Jester has all the trappings of a classic horse girl, she is the exact type of crazy that is inherent to the horse girl breed, and belongs to a specific subgrouping of horse girls who are so fucking obsessed with horses but have never even once ridden one outside of pony rides at the fair (and probably never will).* The lack of direct contact with horses means the rose-tinted glasses say on for maximum horse-loving crazy energy.
And so, rather than the oft used "horse girl" term, I would propose that Imogen actually falls under a separate but related category: The Barn Person. The Barn Person is tired. The Barn Person woke up at 5am to come check on their horse before work and make sure the blanket they used was the correct weight and falls to their knees in the middle of frozen mud in dismay to realize that their horse has hurt themselves in the paddock and gone lame in the middle of the night. Again. The Barn Person is a little mean and a little judgmental, on account of their physical and existential exhaustion. The Barn Person is the older sister, the polished faced, of horse girl society, while also feeling like another breed of girl entirely.
Conclusion: Imogen is not a horse girl. Imogen is a Barn Person.
Disclaimer: all conclusions made herein are subject to my personal opinions and experiences as a horse girl. this may not and likely will not hold true for all other horse girls
*This memory is vivid in my mind because I vehemently said aloud "a horse girl would NOT fucking say that" when it happened. just trust me. it happened *Obligatory "Imogen does not wear glasses in canon" comment *This is excepting instances wherein Jester does ride horses for dnd travel/game mechanic reasons.

i will keep that in mind. Tbh, I've actually started writing right after I asked if I could. I just kept taking breaks because horrible attention, and I was stuck in Blake's part until last night. Now I'm kinda stuck on the Blacksmith's part. I have no idea how to write them... Though I have started writing their part, it is somewhat slow going, because of unfamiliarness with the character and irl stuff like tests.
On an unrelated note. Can we talk about the fucking symbolism?? Parallels??? Between Yang's death in this au and Ruby's in canon??
Because in Ruby's eyes. Yang, who did nothing wrong, who did not indanger their team, was the reason for a *kingdom* falling, didn't cause Penny's *death*. Had chosen to ascend and come back as someone else.
Whereas *Ruby*, who *did* do all of those things, at least in Ruby's eyes, chose to *not* ascend and came back as herself!!
Can you tell I love these fictional sisters?
FUCK YEAH PARALLELS!!!!!!!!!
She has none of the reasons ruby decided to go to the tree and yet she’s the one who ended up gone
CRAZZYYYYYY
For the blacksmith thing I say make them as unsettling as possible go bananas do something crazy
Yang is so interesting in the sense of her motivation is more people based like she didn’t come out post v3 to save the world she left to go help Ruby and that just happened to be what they were doing and Yang goes 100% because that’s just how she is like of course she’s helping people what else would she be doing kinda thing
When she thought she was dead at the beginning she didn’t seem particularly upset about it she just was there was nothing else to do anymore she’s done she fulfilled her little life’s purpose of protecting Ruby and saving people along the way and she’s done now time to look for all the people who she knows who died or something
She was DEEPLY upset when the rest of her team was dead for obvious reasons especially because stopping Ruby from dying was WHY SHE DIED but whatever moving on
I think Yang sees living as a never ending list of things to do and people to love so she’s always doing something and caring about someone like her whole life she was taking care of Ruby then in beacon she was helping Blake and along the way she was working to be a huntress which came easy to her and it was all good then she was looking for Ruby and then she was defeating Salem (which she may or may not have ever thought was possible but I doubt she cares)
Then she dies and she’s just
Done
She was in a good place to not want to die but I don’t know how much the thought bothered her cause of how risky she’s always known being a huntress is
But when she went to the ever after there was something to do and it was ascend
So of course
She did that
I think maybe Ruby has always hated how Yang reacts to her own danger
Because Ruby and Yang love each other so much but they actively exist in each others worst issues in a way that’s almost fine cause it’s them
Ruby abandoned Yang after she lost her arm but Yang was never mad at her she never even saw it like that she should’ve been able to follow her (plus Ruby’s thought her semblance was running away for the longest time)
Yang sacrifices herself all the time especially for Ruby and Ruby’s biggest thing is being abandoned unintentionally (as a parallel to Yang intentional abandonment problem) like through death however it’s their dynamic it’s what they do Yang will always do this because she’s her older sister
I love their parallels
ALSO IM SO SO SO EXCITED TO READ WHATEVER YOU MAKE HEHEHHEHEHEE
I’m so excited to see your take on how she’d be feeling and how everyone reacts and just everything I’m just so excited to see it and all your interpretations
I love when people make stuff of my posts ss

TWST Theory : Analysis of Diasomnia Chapter and Twisted Wonderland Based on Alice in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass - "A Mirroring World"
⚠️WARNING⚠️
⚠️CONTAINS SPOILER CHAPTER 7⚠️
It's just analysis based on my thoughts and some uneasy feelings I want to clear up coming from a hunch everytime I read chapter 7 and play twst as a whole so this theory isn't about "predicting what's going to happen" using Disney Sleeping Beauty as reference, but rather, to make sense of what's going on from what I see with my own perspective so take it with the grain of salt, because this is actually one absurd theory that even myself don't believe it, but this is what it is, this is what is there, and this uneasy feeling is too real since the day I played twst for the first time.
I remember somewhere in her tweet Yana said something like, "Twisted Wonderland is a world paralleling to our (Yuu's) world" so I feel like somehow, what happened in Diasomnia chapter part 2 is mirroring Twisted Wonderland itself so this time, I'll do the analysis in a special way similar to when I did an analysis for Crowley.
A secret to do an analysis of Twisted Wonderland based on "Through the Looking Glass" (and to solve the puzzle in itself) is that you'll need its counterpart, "Alice in Wonderland", and do the analysis between them back and forth because "Through the Looking Glass" is actually mirroring "Alice in Wonderland". I'll also do the same, but this time, with "Sleeping Beauty". We will try to detect and find some fallancies by comparing Diasomnia chapter with Twisted Wonderland itself and "Through the Looking Glass" with "Sleeping Beauty"
Just like I said before, this theory isn't to predict what's going to happen in Diasomnia chapter but rather, talking about Twisted Wonderland, the game itself as a whole.
Similarities of "Twisted Wonderland" and "Diasomnia Part 2"
Suppose that Twisted Wonderland is mirroring the real world, and Malleus' dreamworld is mirroring Twisted Wonderland, which is based on Through the Looking Glass. So we have :
1. Sleeping Beauty and Through the Looking Glass revolves around "dream". However, judging from Malleus' intention, his is not based on classic Disney's sleeping beauty but rather, the feeling of sadness and loss caused by time. If you know the reason why Lewis Carroll wrote "Through the Looking Glass" a sequel to "Alice in Wonderland" is because he has that feeling of loss because he couldn't meet the irl Alice (his main inspiration) anymore which somehow can be felt in "Humpty Dumpty" chapter, in which Humpty Dumpty said "Leave off at seven" but it's too late now. Alice is 7 years old when she goes to Wonderland. And how funny it is that Lilia is aged 700 years old when Malleus give him his blessing. Is it a coincidence? Or there's some hidden meaning behind it?
2. In Sleeping Beauty, Aurora is supposed to be dead by Maleficent's curse but rather she fell into deep slumber. Alice in Wonderland, originally titled "Alice's Adventures Underground" is a story about a girl who fell into a rabbit hole, which later revealed to be a dream when Alice awakened by her sister. Alice in Wonderland is actually inspired from a certain theme in art and litterature which popular at the time when the book is written, which is also the time when the author lived his entire life : "Victorian Age". That theme is Presephone, the Greek Godess of spring whose descent into the underworld. This theme is actually also the oldest recorded myth in world literature, and that myth is the story of Mesopotamian goddess Inanna's descent into the underworld realm of the dead.
The myth of Persephone begins in an idyllic meadow with her older sister, the earth goddess Demeter. Persephone is idly daydreaming and picking flowers when she falls down an infinitely deep fissure into a subterranean world. She experiences many adventures and trials, but at last escapes and returns to her sister Demeter’s arms.
The frame story of Alice’s Adventures—in both the Under Ground and Wonderland versions—mirrors Persephone’s journey. In Alice’s case, she is sitting in an idyllic meadow with her older sister, Lorina, and—while idly daydreaming and considering the picking of flowers—drifts into a dream wherein she falls down an infinitely deep hole into a subterranean world. Like Persephone, she experiences many adventures and trials, but finally escapes from the underground world and returns to the arms of her sister Lorina.
Now you know why Disney Japan and Aniplex chose Yana as the one who made the story and illustration of Twisted Wonderland (as I believe she did a lot of research on Victorian Age already during her time as an author of Black Butler) has a lot of theme around death, from coffin, the college gate that reads cortege upside down, the ghosts, the manga adaption Yuus who go to Twisted Wonderland after some kind of accident and their name that somehow related to death, even the year of the release of Mickey Thru the Mirror is there in Ignihyde dorm, the dorm of underworld.
3. Right after Malleus said, "give me that hand" Malleus went overblot. Right after we took Crowley's hand we see Grim overblot. If you read my analysis before, Grim is Jabberwock. Jabberwock is generally portrayed as a dragon-like beast, that is slayed by the protagonist of the poem with vorpal sword. In Sleeping Beauty, Maleficent in dragon form is slayed (stabbed) with Sword of Truth. Tbh I was really suspicious of Malleus who seems to weirdly attached to Ramshackle Dorm, the dorm of Through the Looking Glass after reading Jabberwocky when I was doing analysis on Grim, seeing that he is a dragon....
Tumblr media
We all know dorm leader SSR is released only at the same time when the story of they're about to go overblot is released (or after that in Malleus' case). SSR Dorm Uniform Malleus has the same type of magic as overblot Grim. Overblot Grim only has one type of magic, cosmic magic which its power increase gradually and that magic is the zero type cosmic magic (Zero Breath, Zero Breath II , Zero Breath III). Malleus SSR Dorm Uniform also has only zero type cosmic magic for his main two magic spells (Zero Ray II), though I already looked that the only difference are only their 3rd magic, but all of them are both cosmic magic.
Tumblr media
4. Malleus said, "You'll all become a hero in a fairytale." If you read the poem Jabberwocky (you can read it here) , even though it is a nonsense poem, it's a poem about a boy who slain a monster, Jabberwock and becomes a hero.
5. If we pay attention, we do know that mirror is like a door to other dimension, like Ramshackle dorm's mirror or any other magic mirror in NRC. In addition to being the "Sword of Truth" and possesing similar traits as Princess Aurora, in reality, the chemical process of coating a non-conductive substrate such as glass with a reflective substance, to produce a mirror is called "Silvering", and this term is also used for the application of any reflective metal as well. This process of Silvering is what makes regular see through glass becomes so reflective as if it creates another dimension. So if the dream world created by Malleus is mirroring Twisted Wonderland, then without doubt, Silver will be the key to get out from that dream world created by Malleus (and Idia who seems to have the role of Merryweather by breaking Malleus' blessing/curse)
Night Raven College and Twisted Wonderland (the game)
If you take a look closely and know it, there are some winter elements in both NRC and Ramshackle dorm.
A mirror we see in the prologue is the dark mirror from Disney Snow White, in addition, there is Pomefiore becoming the oldest dorm in NRC and many other things like the historical apple tree and well which seems to be from Snow White. If you ever watched Disney Mickey Lonesome Ghost, the short movie where the ghost of ramshackle dorm is based on, the time setting of the story is winter. In chapter 1 of Through the Looking Glass before Alice goes inside the mirror, the time setting of the story is also winter, even her white cat is named Snowdrop.
In Diasomnia chapter part 2, from what Malleus said, we can assume that his blessing can put everyone to sleep for 1000 years. In chapter 6, Idia said the spell on Grim is aged 1000 years which is an ancient spell of a primitive class. And it is said that NRC has been there approximately around 500 years or more since Lilia enrolled with invitation from 500 years ago.
Tumblr media
Besides in chapter 7 Malleus said, "Give me your hand." In the prologue, here when Crowley said "Take the hand in the mirror", we can see the hand in the mirror is actually belongs to Maleficent.
Tumblr media
So, what does this mean?
It's purely just speculation but referring to the analysis I did before, about Crowley being Mad Hatter, seeing how his role is basically just watching his students fighting and not doing anything is similar to how Hatta watching the Lion and the Unicorn fighting each other while drinking tea and as we know Twisted Wonderland is based on Through the Looking Glass (hence the name), we can assume that Crowley is the Mad Hatter of Through the Looking Glass (Hatta).
In most media, Hatter doesn't really have some kind of magical ability. However, in Disney Mickey Phantom Blot, Mad Hatter appeared as a cameo and his hat is stolen. I don't remember really well but if my memory serves right, he stole it to go to other dimension (you're welcome to correct me on this part). Additionaly, in Once Upon a Time TV series by Disney-ABC Group, Jefferson (played by Sebastian Stan) is a Mad Hatter who owns a magical hat that he can use to travel between different worlds and he used it to retrieve objects for the Evil Queen (yes, that Evil Queen from Snow White)
If we combine our assumption of Crowley as the Hatter from Through the Looking Glass, then that means we can replace the magical hat with mirror, which means : Crowley can use magical mirror to retrieve objects between different worlds.
And this is why in my previous analysis of Crowley, I only said "he can turn back time" but I never said his magic is to turn back and loop time but rather "he can manipulate timespace". It's shown in Mad Hatter's equation of 4th dimension, and besides even in physics, a change in timespace can disturb time itself. Therefore, a backward/looping time is only the side effect of Crowley's magic. His real magic is manipulating timespace like creating a portal or something.
Now after Diasomnia part 2 is released, there's one thing we need to question again : For who is this chant/question for?
Tumblr media
To answer that question we will need to see the prologue once again
youtube
Usually, everytime Crowley uses dark mirror, his chant will be "闇の鏡 (Yami no kagami/Dark Mirror)". However, if you notice it, there's something different from Crowley's chant on the prologue.
Tumblr media
We all know that normally the chant will be "闇の鏡 (Yami no kagami/Dark Mirror)" if Crowley (or us) want to use Dark Mirror which can also be seen everytime we summon for a card. However, for "The Flower of Evil" one he used the chant "鏡よ鏡 (Kagami yo kagami/Mirror Mirror/Magic Mirror)" and then "闇の鏡 (Yami no kagami/Dark Mirror)" afterwards.
If you know it or at least have ever heard it, "鏡よ鏡 (Kagami yo kagami/Mirror Mirror/Magic Mirror)" is the original chant for Magic Mirror from Disney Snow White in Japanese. If we see how the magic mirror works in Snow White, Evil Queen will asks a question who is the fairest of all, and then the mirror will give back the answer.
Based on this fact, though there are a lot of speculations even myself who thought it's meant for Yuu, what if the "鏡よ鏡 (Kagami yo kagami/Mirror Mirror/Magic Mirror)" chant is actually not meant for Yuu but rather, to reflect Maleficent's image in the mirror?
If we think about it, if Yuu is supposed to be "You" (us) then Yuu can have a lot of different traits depending on the people who plays the game, which is, really confusing to be described as a question/chant to the mirror. But if Crowley's "鏡よ鏡 (Kagami yo kagami/Mirror Mirror/Magic Mirror)" chant meant to reflect Maleficent's image as the way for the mirror to give the answer to him the same way as Magic Mirror give the answer to Evil Queen about Snow White, then his chant would fit, since Diasomnia is based on the "nobility" of Queen of Thorn's heart (Maleficent) and we all know Maleficent is also known as "Mistress of All Evil" (Flower of Evil). And so that's why Maleficent's hand is there reflected in the mirror.
Speaking about Mad Hatter's special ability again, in the video game of Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, which is a video game of Disney's Alice in Wonderland live action, Mad Hatter has an ability called "Perspective". However, this "Perspective" is different in both Wii, PC, and Nintendo DS version. In Wii and PC, Hatter can combine things and visualize pictures into real by seeing them in different ways. In DS, In order to use Perspective, the player must find an orange hat floating and then Hatter can warp Alice and himself with his hat onto the other side of wherever the player is.
Although Yana herself said that "Twisted Wonderland" is based on "Through the Looking Glass", I still don't know whether she did put the live action Disney Through the Looking Glass in her work for Twisted Wonderland, but if she did, and if she referenced twst from its video game as well, then like the reflection that can be different depends on the position of the mirror, there's a high possibility that Crowley's magic can change depends on its position as well (Perspective)
So supposed that the Dark Mirror can connect to different dimension. Then if he combined his two magics it would be like this :
With "鏡よ鏡 (Kagami yo kagami/Mirror Mirror/Magic Mirror) chant, Crowley asked something about Maleficent to Dark Mirror and then it showed him Maleficent's image through its reflection. This is when he used his first magic, visualize pictures into real.
And then with "闇の鏡 (Yami no kagami/Dark Mirror)" chant, this is when he started to manipulate timespace and warp Yuu through the Dark Mirror onto the other side of Yuu's world (Twisted Wonderland)
Remember what Crowley said the first time Yuu got to Twisted Wonderland and met him? From Yuu's POV, they only thought it's a dream but for Crowley, he said something like this :
Tumblr media
So from that speculations we can conclude that Crowley retrieved Yuu from their world to Twisted Wonderland by borrowing Maleficent's magic, which is similar to Malleus's magic.
So if we see why everytime we groovy a card there would be thorns, it's due to the same magic effect from the same/similar magic (Malleus's unique magic) but Malleus wasn't the one casting it but rather, it's Crowley who did it. So all this time, the reason why they can go to Twisted Wonderland is because they're under Crowley's magic. Which is also why he seems to know something but pretend to not know it.
Once again, this is only speculation because there's no more in game information about it but if there really is a loop in Twisted Wonderland and that loop is a causal loop , then that would also make sense why Grim doesn't have origin, if he is actually created by the effect of the loop itself. Which also means Grim is as old as Crowley's magic (and because Crowley used Maleficent's magic/Malleus UM, that would make Grim approximately 1000 years old in Twisted Wonderland time from the time the spell is being casted).
The last chapter of Through the Looking Glass by Lewis Carrol is titled "Which Dreamed It?"
Supposed that Malleus can create a world of dream by casting a sleeping spell on someone. If Crowley borrow Malleus'(Maleficent's) unique magic, then he can do the same thing as well, which means he created another reality of Twisted Wonderland in a looping time to prevent Twisted Wonderland to meet its end, and because of this causal loop (something that's already happened will always happen), Grim is (re)born from his magic and Crowley is trapped inside the loop itself, which demands him to loop the time over and over again and if he do something else and create time paradox, he can't loop the time anymore which means the end of Twisted Wonderland. And this is why he needs Yuu's help.
So based on this theory, we can conclude that Grim is as old as the loop itself, in which approximately has began since 1000 years ago. And maybe this is also why his card only being released on Twisted Wonderland anniversary. Whatever Grim is 1000 years in Twisted Wonderland time or maybe older or younger than that, I can't be sure since at the time when this theory is written, there's little to no information about Grim.
But if the looping of Twisted Wonderland was created since 1000 years ago through a dream, does that mean Yuu has been sleeping and dreaming for 1000 years?
The answer is no, because time in Yuu's world is different from time in Twisted Wonderland, if Twisted Wonderland truly is based on Through the Looking Glass and Alice in Wonderland. In both Alice in Wonderland and Through the looking Glass, there's part of the story where how time goes in Wonderland is explained. Those part are in "A Mad Tea-Party" in Alice in Wonderland and "Queen Alice" in Through the Looking Glass.
In the chapter "Queen Alice" :
Tumblr media
And in the chapter "A Mad Tea-Party" :
Tumblr media
In our world (Alice's world), it's always "What o' clock today?" which means there are many hours in a day. However in Wonderland, it's "What day this month?" which means there are many days in a month.
If we compare side by side the time in real world and Wonderland it would be like this :
Hours in real world is the same as day in wonderland (hours = days)
And day in real world is the same as month in Wonderland (1 day in real world = 1 month in wonderland )
Which means time goes faster in Wonderland than real world. If how the time goes in Twisted Wonderland is based on this fact, then that means time in Twisted Wonderland is faster than time in Yuu's world. This is somehow has been hinted from what Malleus said and from what Crowley said from the official english translation of the prologue :
Tumblr media
Well, Twisted Wonderland is just that interesting so I'm looking forward to what's in store for us.

I can picture wind being a pain in the butt to the school staff while gather kids to cause chaos because of getting bored from sitting in a chair for hours listening to the teacher rant about something and him of course not liking being talked down because of his age and so when he is taken detention he gets in a fight with the teacher which he wins of course and so reader is called to deal with him. Well yeah wind gets to see reader earlier now but reader is looking at him disappointed and tired. Reader gives him a trade offer that if he does good he gets more cuddles and attention from reader everyday and so wind quiets down and behaves more better altho does sleep in some classes because he is bored and so he is dreaming of him and reader having fun in his world with his grandma and sister like a family. In parent conferences I feel like there is a mini fight over who gets to go there help wind with pranks to get wind's side. When it comes to saving money legend sews up the clothes that owns that get ripped tho says it's for saving money but it's really to get close to reader and take some clothes that reader doesn't notice gone but it gets him butting heads with sage as the chain sees his lies but the chains knows he has dirt on them and that they are close. Wars gets thirsty comments from time to time but he always says their is already someone special to him as he talks about them in his videos at times which causes his fans to get the idea he's dating and so they call them lucky but he calls himself lucky. Twilight gets some of the old people from the farmers market to like him as he seems like those good old fellas and which when they see how he has a hand around reader's waist and seem so cuddly towards reader and so they think reader is his partner and when they notice there not married because of the lack of wedding rings, they ask when wedding is coming closing reader's chance to get away altho this does happen with the other open affectionate and possessive links (I'm talking about courage) they don't get as much praise and help to get their point as across other than sky and sage altho sage gets because he is the first and sky is sky. Reader notices how a lot of her stuff that has her scent goes missing but gives the ides its just them trying to find something familiar in this new world but later on reader fully realizes that they have a bunch of yanderes in their house and they want them but maybe they don't fight back because they aren't as strong as the chain even when they don't have magic altho they do have the high ground when running since this world is still new to them but that's the thing they can run but they can't hide and especially when they realize dink is after them too as running is just going to get more people hurt and hiding won't be good for long as the chain was able to get to them from another world, how is another county going to challenge them too harder pluse things are too personal and deep between reader and the links and we aren't going to get started with fierce.

It's great to see you 👾!!! and now I know why you're so good at coming up with ideas, I've seen some of the other blogs you've popped up on and everything is just sooooo good!!!! also the amount of stuff in this ask that's kinda similar to stuff irl is insane
fun fact the way you've described wind going to school is almost a match with my actual younger brother 🙃 (arguably he's even worse than you've described wind) so I am very used to dealing with someone who would rather rip a door off of its hinges than go to school ANSBXKSK but I'd like to think he at least tries for reader as to not upset them or exhaust them. also just promising wind a trip to the sea if it's possible if he gets a decent grade at school you know he'd be at the top of the class in an instant. The chain would most likely all take turns with reader to go for parents evening, but there's also the chance reader simply goes alone making things much more simple.
legend would be stitching up everyone's old clothes, and possibly even taking up embroidery. I can see him getting very upset if he saw that reader already had clothes they'd stitched up themselves however, and there'd be some mixed feelings there for him. what with wanting reader to have better things for themselves and loving the chance to show them how good he is at it. And definitely not getting the chance to mess up sage's clothes. Wars if he ended up live streaming would be pressured to bring reader in front of the camera by his fans but ultimately I think he'd be too selfish to want anyone who doesn't need to see them see them; making his fans ship them even more with how much he "respects their privacy".
also bold of you to assume Sage hasn't already gotten them rings!!! if he got the chance reader wouldn't be able to walk with the amount of jewelry he gives them, and that's not the only way he'd mark his territory, but if reader hadn't gotten a ring it would be a full blown arms race for the chain to get them one. Reader would also be very reluctant to push sage away since I reckon they've already been together for about a year before the chain show up, and are in a very good relationship at that!! so it'd be more likely that the chain push themselves away before driving a wedge in-between reader and sage. If the cursed links were there they'd be the worst for this!!! and they'd be pushing readers limits real quick, not that anything reader sees as bad happens but to them it's like their worlds are ending.
AKSNDN Sky is very much one of my favourites as well, he and sage could have my whole heart within an instant if they asked 💖💖
as for going abroad? the chain could get to reader with magic. if they didn't have that it'd be a lot harder to get them, what with passports and airport security on top of border controls so unless they didn't lose all of their magic then they've got as much of a chance as anyone else. But unless the chain did something very concerning as a yandere or got caught at least I think reader could excuse it as stress or a different culture, I mean they're already writing off a lot of sage's attraction due to that. although it's not impossible for them to realise how deep it goes, it might just take a while for them to see how bad it is.

Ok Primo lovers! The next installment of Potpourri is LIVE!!!!
Thank you all for once again being patient with me as I work on things and juggle my IRL responsibilities as well. I appreciate you all so much.
Please if you like my work, share it!
Tumblr media
Potpourri
During his retirement, Papa Primo Emeritus falls in love with a new Sister of Sin who has suffered a tragic loss. While the new sister settles into the Abbey, Primo can't help but grow more infatuated with her. Promising to give her everything she desires, but can he win her affections when she still can't let go of the past?
Chapter 6: Potpourri
Also available HERE on AO3! Haven’t started yet, start from the beginning HERE!
Read below the cut
The night of the new sibling initiation had come and gone. Days passing as gently as the spring breeze and the Abbey returning back to normal routine. Only the memory and the new titles of newcomers remained. That was for all except what happened between Primo and Gwen. 
The Abbey was practically buzzing with it. The normally composed and eldest Emeritus son had been spotted ravishing one of the new siblings during initiation, a truth that had been on all the mouths of those who dwelled in the Abbey. Both ghouls and siblings alike were intrigued by it. Though carnal interactions with siblings were commonplace for his younger brothers, this kind of conduct wasn’t at all what the Abbey inhabitants had come to expect from Primo. 
All of them, smiling and whispering whenever they saw Papa and the new sister together. It took all Fiona had not to spill the small juicy details she had acquired of her friend's affair. Though what she and everyone else had been conjuring up was far more salacious than reality. While they had crossed a definite line during the ritual, every night since had been a slow, chaste passing. 
Both of them, choosing to get to know one another before anything else—maybe even become friends. Gwen was still so fragile and Primo wasn’t about to be the one to break her. He knew that it was meant to be and that if he was right, eventually, she would come around. Her wounded heart only needed the time to heal before they might be something more. He had, however, begun to grow impatient. 
Primo tried his best to push away the thoughts, but more often than not he found himself needing to release. To relieve his built-up sexual tension with his own hand. The thoughts of Gwen constantly on his mind. The way she felt as he slipped his fingers inside her. The sound of her moaning in his ear. He wanted desperately to know what she’d feel like while he pounded into her. Feeling her all around him as he spilled himself inside her—so that he might give her the child he knew she so badly wanted.
Even though it had been weeks since their night together, Gwen hadn’t made any hint of wanting anything more than Primo's companionship. They were becoming closer, at least that's what he told himself. He had even begun to teach her about conjugation and spell casting. Choosing to focus on simple things like inanimatum manifestationem and charm spells. Gwen, however, was most interested in communing with the spirit realm. 
It was in the quiet times between them that Gwen shared with him too. Not about anything so magical as Primo, but about her life leading up to the arrival at the Abbey. A little more revealed of herself as each moment came. The most recent story being that of the day she lost her child. It was then that Primo had felt the full weight of it. 
As the words left her, he could feel the constant ache that afflicted her. The wound of the soul that Gwen thought might never heal. She had also told him about her failings in love. Lamenting that things had always been very one sided, though it took her some time to realize it. 
The subject of love had come up again whilst Gwen and Primo worked to prepare the chapel for the evening's Black Mass. Gathering up the spent incense and emptying the vases of the old dried out arrangements. Primo followed Gwen back into the sacristy determined to have her see that things would get better. “You know they were wrong to overlook you cara mia.” Primo said as he placed his hand over hers. 
“If you say so Papa…maybe…” she sighed, still clutching the dead, dried flowers, “I feel as though I am nothing. Like these dead plants. Just a shell of what I once was.”
“No...” 
“I’m sorry?” Gwen asked as she went to toss the bouquets into the trash. Primo gently grabbed her wrist before she could release them. Both of them, locking eyes as Primo began to speak.  
“The life in these flowers is gone, but they can still be a part of something beautiful.” Primo explained.
“You’re kidding, right?” she asked him, looking more than a bit confused. Primo’s face was now more serious than ever. A look that made Gwen swallow back a bit as he took the flowers from her. Pulling the dried buds from their stem and placing them gently in a small basket in the center of the table. 
“They can be an offering—or even made into potpourri…they are not the same as they once were, that is true, but these blossoms can still be something beautiful.”
“I see.” she replied knowing that he was most certainly alluding to her. Primo was in love with her and Gwen very much felt it. It was getting harder for her too to deny the feelings she had for him. Worried that she’d regret acting on them. And she already had too many regrets to speak of. 
A moment however had reached them. Gwen could sense it—something about the way he looked at her. The sweet charm of his romantic, but cliche, speech and the soft smile on his face that made her guard fall. Primo must have sensed it too because he reached down to take Gwen’s face in his hand. Slowly bending down to kiss her fully on her lips.
She didn’t pull back, instead leaning into him. The taste of his mouth like the sweet nectar of fruit. The gentle touch of silk that was his lips. This was the first kiss she had truly wanted. Not some pity and haze-induced endeavor, fueled by outside forces. No—this was only them. 
Gwen brought her arms around Primo’s neck, kissing him harder. Tears streamed down her face as they continued. Primo, taking the leap of faith as he brought his tongue into her mouth. Slow and sensual, not the lustful and rushed way he had before. They melted into one another.  
When Gwen finally, and reluctantly, did pull back she smiled. Both of them, a bit breathless and flushed. This was all she could do for now and there were responsibilities she had to tend to. Primo seemed to understand, even without her saying it. Helping her adjust her veil before fixing his own cassock. Hoping that the swell in his pants was hidden well enough to not ruin the sweet moment between them. 
“I must be going Papa…thank you for…um…everything.” Gwen smiled more.
“Of course, amore." He told her. Gwen turned to leave and Primo knew he couldn't just leave it at that, "...would you? Would you sit beside me in the pews tonight? I would very much appreciate your company.” Primo asked, watching with joy as Gwen nodded. Progress—Primo was thrilled. Watching with hopefulness in his heart as Gwen took her leave from the sacristy. 
Hours had passed since their kiss and Primo still couldn’t get it off his mind. The whole night spent in blissful merriment, especially with her seated next to him in the pews. He had managed to hold her hand throughout the sermon. Gently gliding his thumb over the top as Terzo went off on one of his rants about pridefulness. 
The two of them, glancing at one another endlessly. Looking as if they wished to sneak off together. Gwen had even allowed Primo to walk her back to her dorm. The two of them, finding Fiona waiting up for her friend—along with a whole row of little eavesdroppers. All spilling of their rooms from their doorways as Papa left her there. Another gentle kiss on the lips before the door closed and Primo would return to his chambers. 
When midnight struck, he was still tossing and turning in his bed. Thinking about Gwen's sweet face. Primo was finally beginning to drift when he startled. The phone, ringing loudly and echoing in the vast openness of the room. Primo rushed out from his sheets towards the old rotary that sat near his favorite armchair. Lifting up the receiver and bringing it to his ear. 
"What could you possibly want at this hour?" He chided, unsure of exactly who was on the other line. Thankfully it was Secondo and the revelation allowed Primo renewed justification in his ire. 
"Oh, calmati, vecchio sciocco." Secondo scoffed, practically able to see the way Primo's face contorted on the other end. 
"What do you want fratellino?" Primo asked him, clearing his throat and trying to keep his patience.
"The prodigal son returns tonight. Thought we may indulge in a game or two. Stay up until his return…that is if you can manage it?" 
"Pfft…I'll be down soon." Primo replied, already knowing exactly where to go. 
Primo made his way down from his chambers to the main hall. Feeling the wear of the day and his lack of sleep upon him as he found this path in the dark. When he reached his destination he was met with Terzo, Secondo, and Saltarian staring him down. The three of them, sitting in the clergy break room as Primo stood in the doorway, all awaiting Copia return. 
The hours were now steadily creeping into the early morning and the normal show of fanfare would be held off until morning broke. Just the way Copia liked it. The fourth Papa, preferring to get adjusted to being home before all the “hullabaloo” commenced.  
“Were the fuck have you been? We’ve been waiting for over an hour.” Secondo scoffed.
“It's late fratello. Give…what did you call me before? An OLD man a moment…I am here now. Deal me in.” Primo responded. Their youngest brother’s arrival seemed the perfect excuse to play cards and, for Primo’s brothers, an opportunity to grill him. Now along with Saltarian’s help they could find out just what his intentions were with his mysterious and melancholic sister. 
“And what shall we play…Uno?” Mr. Saltarian laughed, trying to inject some humor back into the conversation. Running his fingers over the packs of cards that lined the cabinet until he found the Uno cards. 
“I will only play that if Primo will agree to answer my questions…since he cheats.” Secondo replied. Primo nodded to Saltarian to grab them, his friend handing them over to Secondo who began to shuffle. Secondo reluctantly began tossing them out across the round table, the rest of the men collecting their hands before Secondo placed the first card down in the center.
“Sono offeso.” Primo scoffed, “I do not cheat…you are just a sore loser.”
“Ok then…go ahead and pretend that you do not, in fact, enchant the cards stronzo and that it is pure coincidence that you always win when we play this damn game.” he sniped. Both Mr. Saltarian and Terzo rolling their eyes at them when Primo finally took his seat.
“What is it you want to know so badly then?” Primo asked him. Terzo adjusted himself in the chair, popping the cork out from his wine bottle and taking a swig—not even bothering to gather himself a glass. Preferring to drink straight from the bottle on game nights such as this. 
“Yeah Sec..what's got your panties all in a bunch?” he smirked. The table got quiet for a moment, all of them looking up from their cards at Secondo who was staring daggers at Primo. 
“Sister Guinevere…”
“Ah si, il mio fiore delicato. What about her?” Primo responded.
“You two seem to be getting very close as of late…well that is, if some of the rumors floating amongst the siblings and ghouls are to be believed. What they’ve told me...” Secondo hummed, taking the first turn and setting down his red number 2 card to start. 
“Just what have they reported back fratellino? Are you having them spy on me now?” Primo chuckled. Smirking as he forced Secondo to draw 4. Delighting in the grimace on Secondo's face as he added the cards to his hand. 
“No…it’s just I worry. You’ve already bound yourself to her and she's a bit of a wild card.”
“Speaking of.” Terzo laughed as he placed his wild card down on top. “I mean Primo, she did only just a few weeks ago try to…” Terzo chose to continue before Saltarian tapped his arm. “We don’t want to see you hurt either.”
“I can make her happy and I will.” Primo smiled, Saltarian smiling back at him. The two of them, having an unspoken understanding. He too had been watching them. Seeing Gwen open up to Primo as days passed. Primo’s plan to win her heart was simple to him as the planting of seeds and Saltarian could see that things were already beginning to blossom between them.
“Oh, and just how are you planning on doing that?” Secondo asked his tone snide and smug, as always as he laid down his next card. 
“I’m going to give her what she wants.” he explained, shuffling his deck for his next card. Both Secondo and Terzo, waiting for him to continue.
“...and that is what exactly?” Secondo groaned, frustrated with Primo’s drawn out exposition. 
“Vita eterna.” he smiled, placing down his card on the stack.
“What? You can't be serious…” Secondo inquired; certain he knew what Primo was getting at. 
“I’m going to give her a child. My child.” Primo responded, Terzo immediately began choking on his wine as Secondo sat back stunned in his chair. Both brothers, dead silent and completely taken back by his intentions. 
"You have got to be fucking kidding me? Knocking her up is not the ans—" Secondo hissed before Primo rushed at him. The two of them, ready to brawl. Thankfully Saltarian was surprisingly quicker. Holding both men back from doing anything stupid in the heat of the moment.
"Am…I…ah interrupting something?" Copia said, dropping down his bags as he entered the break room.
"Copia! Fratellino!" Terzo called out as he went to stand beside him. "Glad you came when you did. Otherwise, you might have 2 less fratelli." He explained, covering his mouth so Secondo and Primo might not hear him. 
"Seems there's a disagreement about a relationship between Papa and his new Sister of sin." Saltarian explained. Copia went to give Saltarian a fist bump, for which he was not amused. Copia immediately withdrew his hand, a bit embarrassed but continued on. Looking straight at Secondo before he continued, clearly assuming he was the offending Papa. 
"So…ah…Secondo…who is the lucky girl?" Copia asked with a smile, taking the empty seat at the table. 
"It's me Copia…not Secondo." Primo explained as the rest of the men all sat back down. Secondo grumbling under his breath. 
"You? Now that's a surprise." Copia laughed nervously, scratching the back of his salt and peppered head.
"Oh just you wait." Terzo chuckled, giving him a slap to the back. Copia's face turned paler than usual. 
"Che cosa significa in tutte le cose empie?" He asked. Primo let out a sigh, surely Copia would be more supportive.
"I'm going to have a child with her." He said plainly. His voice, soft but firm. Copia swallowed back, already life back at the Abbey was becoming more interesting.
"Lei è incinta?" Copia asked him.
"No…no…but hopefully soon." Primo responded. 
"I think it's a wonderful idea. Good for you wanting to be a Papa…well…heh...a father. I can't wait to be a zio."  Copia laughed nervously. Secondo huffing before resigning himself to silence at the table.
"Me too." Terzo chimed in, "I want you to be happy Primo. Obviously, you better get on it soon Lucifer knows you aren't getting any younger." 
"Thank you." Primo smiled, clearly however annoyed at Terzo jab. Saltarian lifted up his wine glass to toast Primo.
"Possiate entrambi essere fecondi e moltiplicarvi." Saltarian said.
"Cin cin" said Terzo, lifting up his wine bottle. Secondo waving them on. 
"Si…well since Copia is home, I say we make a new start." Secondo explained, the faintest of thinly pressed smiles on his lips. Primo placed his hand on Copia's shoulder and looked Secondo in the eye.
"Sounds good to me."
Notes:
Oh, calmati, vecchio sciocco. -Oh quiet yourself, you old fool. 
Sono offeso- I am offended
il mio fiore delicato- my delicate blossom
vita eterna- Life eternal
Che cosa significa in tutte le cose empie- What in all things unholy does that mean?
Lei è incinta?- she's pregnant?
Zio- uncle
Cin cin- cheers

KIN LIST?????????????????????????????????????
AHHHHHH SON!!! THANK YOU FOR THE ASK!! 😩❤️ I’LL GIVE YOU EVERY TYPE OF RAMEN DISH THAT YOU WANT. Also, KIN LIST??? MINE??? 😳
Hmmm… Well, I do have a few in mind, so here’s my Kin List:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Mary Kim: I resonate w/ her HEAVILY because her attitude, her behavior, and even the way she interacts with people (esp with Vin Jin) is literally me irl. If I’m close to ANYONE (guy/girl) irl, I’d usually be the type to tease a lot and be the “big sister” in the friend group who usually supports. And I’d be the type to throw hands if necessary, but would never initiate for no reason. Also, her FASION SENSE TOO??? I KIN. DEF KIN. Omg you guys have no idea how similar I dress like her sometimes. It’s insane. 😭
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Zack Lee: I feel like his humor and mine, are similar. I just… have a feeing. Imagine, Zack reacting to a bunch of memes (probably dank, dark, and offensive memes) on his phone and he pulls out some Vine references out of nowhere. And I STG, our taste in music would be similar. Zack would definitely listen to rap music like Kanye, Travis Scott, Kid Cudi, Kendrick Lamar, etc. Even the way he dresses (usually in streetwear) is one of the clothing styles I mainly go with whenever I dress up to go outside.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Johan Seong: Typically, the way he dresses is my MAIN go-to. Mostly, BLACK CLOTHING. Like bro… Majority of my clothes consists of 95% black clothes and 5% any other color. I’m not kidding. Plus, I can imagine me and Johan just chilling and walking out in the street, and some old ladies would ask us if someone died because we’re both wearing black clothing, which is just… our usual outfit. 🧍🏽‍♀️ Also, the way he deals with people who piss him off or is annoyed by them like he doesn’t give a fuck, is such a big personality trait that I kin with. When he doesn’t like someone, then he’d REALLY show that he doesn’t like them. Same goes for me irl too. I like how he doesn’t fake his attitude towards people as well, and he’d come for them like no one’s going to stop him. I fuck with that. 🤝🏽🖤
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lua Im: Lua got a bit of fight in her too, but I like how she isn’t really the type of person to fight in the first place. Similar to Mary’s explanation, she wouldn’t resort to fighting unless she has a good reason to. I also like her personality, and how she involuntarily handles things funny and does some “dorky” things when stressed (because honestly, me too girl). I’d panic and I’d say or do the dumbest shit ever and I’d just embarrass myself even more to the point that I want to die. 💀 In addition to how I kin with Lua through her actions and personality, I really mess with her sense of fashion too. Yeah, I know she rocking the Stüssy top and that one simple style with the hoodie and the jacket over it, because I’d wear those irl. Not joking. She’d def vibe w/ streetwear too, as if she’s the female version of Zack Lee.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Vasco/Euntae Lee: Vasco’s cheerful goofiness from the older chapters is something that I can relate to. Especially when I’m out with friends, I usually act like a fool whenever I’m with them. And tbh, before I even started to simp for Gun, Vasco was my comfort character LMAO. Because he was such a cute Cinnamon Roll back then, and now? What happened…? 😭 I even see Vasco as the “fun older brother” too. Man, if he was my older brother, I’d def want to ask if I can hang out with the Burn Knuckles Crew until it’s time to go home because they’re all so fun and lively!!
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Daniel Park: Even though Daniel is attractive (even in those recent chapters 👀) I view him to be the “brotherly type” who'd protect anyone. That’s the type of vibe I get from Daniel. (To be honest, between Daniel and Vasco, I think they'd be the best "big brothers" ever.) Or, just a male/guy best-friend who you can always depend on and talk to whenever you want to rant/vent about something. I kin with him because I always have the urge to help out people who are having a hard time, and I usually offer to listen to friends’ issues irl because I’m aware that we all need someone to talk. If no one’s there for them, then I don’t mind being someone’s shoulder to lean on. In addition to his kind-heartedness, I relate to Daniel because of the whole “bullying” thing. Back then when I was in elementary school, there was a girl that used to bully me by poking me, flicking me, etc. And she’d even turn people against me so I wouldn’t be able to hang out with certain people (but eventually I became friends with her and we settled our differences ig). I even asked her what was the reason why she bullied me back then and she said it was because of the way that I used to look and the clothes that I wore, which made me look “dorky”. 😀 Sooooo, that’s why I kin with Daniel strongly too LMFAAAOOOO 😌✨

hey hey I've recently jumped back into the omori fandom after a year and its been a fun romp through your tsumi to batsu fics! Sunny and omori are my two favorites here :)
I especially love how you portray omori as a character when a good number of fanfics (+fandom) just deem the guy as "evil version of sunny who doesn't feel anything except for hatred for sunny and there isn't an nuance with him even though he's an manifestation of sunny's coping and a reflection of sunny's thoughts" or "12 year old brat with a knife"
like??? I know that during the omori boss fight he pulls out the most vile shit a 12 year old manifestation of your self hatred can pull out and in the bad ending theres an interpretation that omori took over sunnys body and jumps but did you not see what happens after the bossfight??
Omori hugs sunny after his fight boss no matter the ending and its really powerful in the good ending especially since it's sunny beginning to forgive himself and let go
And yet the people focus in the bossfight dialogue instead of the hug that happens after
Of course, there's the entirety of blackspace to consider and numerous basil deaths which is something to add for the evil knife kid.
On the more positive side of things
Omori leaving notes for sunny to take care of himself, telling him to be nice to his mom, and taking control of the body so sunny won't starve like he most likely did for 4 years-
*clenches hand, clenches hands clenches hand clench-* Yes Yes YES YES THAT'S MY BOY
Sunny realizing that omori isn't someone who runs away but instead hides and starts to look for him....I smell a Thing (TM) between sunny who runs away from his trauma and omori locking away bad memories, hiding it in the backstage (blackspace) as the mainshow (headspace) plays
Honestly, I don't think you really intended that to be taken this way but still
Omori going "good morning" when sunny asks an uncomfortable question, man has impeccable timing
Then-! Then-! The flower tending scenes!
Omori taking good care of his friends flowers while the white tulips being neglected.
It turns the tables around the usual sunny being unable to forgive himself to omori unable to forgive himself (or rather believing he doesn't deserve forgiveness in this case)
"The lilies looked especially perfect, he noticed" ouhgough goughgough big sister mari
"The tulips. They’re all withering away. While the rest of the flowers were full of color, glistening in the sunlight (moonlight?) the tulips remained a dead brown, practically twigs.
'Don't mind those,' Omori said, stopping in his tracks. 'They don't need any tending to.'" OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH MY HEART
White tulips signalifying forgiveness, Sunny taking care of them which silently conveys that he forgives Omori which is verbally confirmed, the both of them being represented by white tulips--!
Omori suddenly breaking the photo of mari without knowing why he did so- I feel like this guy has to slowly work on not erasing the 'truth' during this fic ey?
I know that photo of Mari was most likely headspace Mari but I like to think that it was an irl Mari picture
In my heart, they're friends your honor
OH MY GOSH THANK YOU THIS IS SO SWEET???? genuinely i never thought my au would bring someone this much joy omg 😭 tysm
i love how you caught all those little details too--funnily enough i don't think anyone's fully caught that the tulips weren't tended to because omori doesn't forgive himself(+thinks he doesn't deserve forgiveness) hehehehehe
also anon i am literally in love with how you found a parallel regarding how sunny used to run away from his problems and how omori does that now 😭 i don't remember if i was intentionally implying that??? but i most certainly am now omg
recently i haven't been into omori as much as before but wow i feel so much more motivated to get back to writing my fic...genuinely tysm this means a lot to hear!!!

ARC Review of The Boyfriend Subscription by Steven Salvatore
Tumblr media
Rating: 4/5 Heat Level: 4/5 Publication Date: March 26th
Premise:
A queer Pretty Woman-inspired romance; Divorced and about to lose his beloved plant retail business, Teddy Hughes is faced with no choice but to leave New York City... until he meets Cole Vivien. Cole is the CEO of a gay dating app and needs a fake boyfriend to impress a potential investor and bring to his sister's wedding, and offers the position to Teddy.
My review:
I LOVED the the first meeting between Teddy and Cole; the chemistry was there right off the bat interspersed with these moment of comedy, like when they swap tops on the steps of the Met and Teddy finds himself wearing a harness as he enters a five star hotel (but deals with it in the best way, namely, not giving a fuck and cheerfully making other people uncomfortable).
Teddy (Teddy... Ted... inspired by Edward, perchance? Though he's the Vivian of the story as far as him being hired as a fake boyfriend for a week) is an energetic and endearing hero. Life's dealt him a few hard knocks and I appreciated his moments of vulnerability as much as I enjoyed how upbeat he was. Cole is super smooth and charming but is also pretty anxious and image-conscious, a product of his upbringing and his position as the CEO of a company trying to go public. Cole kind of functions as both the Edward and Vivian of this story, as both the CEO and sex worker, and he's the one with the infamous no-kissing rule.
I love the concept of Cole not only being a CEO and creator of a queer dating/hook-up/OnlyFans-esque app VERSTL (I see what Steven did there), but he's also an extremely popular performer on the platform. Cole publicly calls himself an entrepreneur and a sex worker, which I imagine does a lot in terms of destigmatizing the profession and industry (even if he's in a position of relative privilege). That being said, I'm not sure if I buy his family not knowing that he's a sex worker, especially if his company is about to go public and they're pretty prominent in the business world too. But whatever, it's romanceland; I'm in it for the vibes, not the realism.
So, this book clocks in at about 288 pages, and I started to wish that it was longer as I got to the second half of the book which is centered around Cole's sister's wedding. The plot started to feel pretty rushed: there was parental drama, a reporter outing Cole, Teddy's overprotective friends who Cole thinks might be conning him, a shitty employee, etc. There is sexual assault off-page, but we are barely given any time to contend with that before the main characters abruptly have to leave for the wedding. Ultimately, I think the story wraps up neatly, complete with an effective grovel on Cole's part, but it's the middle bits that could have done with more expansion.
The sex:
The sex was a pretty solid mix of sweet and sexy; there's lots of tender cuddling and heavy-petting and blowjobs. There is one sex scene with some fairly rough sex, which is something Teddy demands but later regrets because he was asking for the internet version of Cole— the fantasy instead of the irl version of him.
My one note was that there were some odd breaks/skips in the sex scenes. For example, there's a scene where Teddy is going down on Cole, but we don't actually see Cole orgasming. Instead, there's a skip and it seems like both Cole and Teddy have gotten each other off and now they're lingering in the afterglow. This happened a couple times.
Overall:
I enjoyed The Boyfriend Subscription; it had all the beats of a romcom starting with a stellar meet-cute and great chemistry between Cole and Teddy that carried throughout the book, even when the plot was a little over the place. This book is a part of a new Harlequin imprint called Afterglow Books, which consists of diverse, romcom-type romances, so I'm looking forward to reading more books in this imprint!
Thank you to Harlequin and NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my review.

Pathaan Review
WARNING: contains spoilers and impure thoughts lol
When the opening scene showed Lahore, Pakistan, my sister and I burst out laughing because OF COURSE. Bollywood making Pakistani Muslims the bad guys?GROUNDBREAKING! 🙄
I was a bit nervous because I thought the film would be super nationalistic and anti-Pakistan because I did NOT spend $30 to watch desh bakht shit. But I’m glad it wasn’t like that because so many films in this genre are. Like, stop fucking preaching and being annoying.
SRK was absolutely fucking delicious. Each look was better than the last. There’s just something about a dirty, scrungly looking man and he made me weak af. Watching Besharam Rang on the big screen and seeing him shirtless? Especially when he ran to Deepika’s room looking like THAT? Whew! I was literally feeling like a dog in heat lmaoooo
His hairstyle was giving off Eren Jaeger vibes 1000% and that’s all I could think about.
Pathaan’s backstory about Afghanistan was really sweet and wholesome. I love how they all helped him in the end, because I kind of had a feeling that’s what was going on.
John Abraham as Jim, oh my godddd. He was so sexy and played a great villain. I’m so glad he’s lean again because that super muscular, beefcake look he had going on for a few years was not attractive. I felt really sorry for Jim and what happened to him. It was understandable why he became a villain. I thought it was an interesting detail that he basically had no loyalty to any country and was doing it for a personal reason instead.
When John does that cute winking and smiling thing...my weakness
Deepika. Lord. That woman is a goddess. She was absolutely badass. I like that she played a Pakistani character and how just because someone from her country is bad, doesn’t mean everyone else is and she doesn’t consider his actions as something Pakistan as a whole is doing/agrees with. Basically that guy alone is an extremist and she would never condone his actions because she actually loves her country just like Pathaan loves his. The way the Besharam Rang lyrics literally described her character and motives, I was shook.
When she was like “Trust me, Pathaan” with those puppy dog eyes? I was like “BABY I TAKE U BACK!”
I think SRK & Deepika had amazing chemistry and the sexual tension! Especially when he was changing her bandages. Sorry girl, but I would have let Pathaan hit it.
I know this website hates a certain Khan but I really enjoyed his special appearance and the banter between Tiger & Pathaan. The Karan Arjun reference!!! Too bad it was spoiled for me by Reddit, ugh.
Dimple Kapadia was so stunning! I want to age like her. I cried when her character died.
SRK singing “Tu Hai Meri Karen” and the “I love you, K-K-Karen” dialogue had me and my sister crying 😂
LOL OF COURSE PATHAAN SAVED THE DAY AT THE VERY LAST SECOND
I was nervous that Ashutosh Rana’s character was going to talk shit about Pakistan and say how we all suck at the end, but thankfully that didn’t happen.
The pre-credits scene of Pathaan & Tiger was absolutely fucking gold. It’s like, they were talking about their job as agents but also irl how they rule Bollywood and none of these hoes can reach their level. So meta.
Love how Pathaan said he was going to see his hairdresser to get shampoo but then stayed looking hobo af in the very next scene (the Jhoome Jo Pathaan song)
Overall, I really enjoyed the movie and it was great seeing my man back on the big screen after 6 years 🥰
I’m gonna gif the fuck out of it once the torrent drops~~~

IC was far less toxic than nesta was to them. Those of you who feel their treatment of her was oh so unfair? are people IRL that don’t believe in consequences for your foul behavior or actions
Alright I finally get anon asks so I should have expected something like this.
First off, they were all toxic to each other. If we start counting the times one was toxic to another we could write a whole separate book, not to mention what happens off page. A healthy relationship does not count grievances against the other. You forgive and let live, especially when you live with them forever.
Rhys went into his relationship with Nesta (and Elain) with prejudices, which never goes well. Nesta and Rhys are both INCREDIBLY similar in personalities, and they hate the things about the other that makes them the same. Until they clear the air and see and respect each other as equals they will never be able to move forward. SJM did say in an interview that we were going to see the consequences between them for what Nesta did at the end of ACOSF.
In ACOWAR, Mor did try to reach out but the moment Nesta started showing signs of her trauma Mor went 180 and stopped reaching out her hand. Don’t get me started on the cassian and mor drama there and how cassian let’s mor get in the way of him showing Nesta intimacy in front of his family.
Cassian is kinda on my shit list with how he treats Nesta the majority of ACOSF.
Feyre tried to reach out, but she and Nesta were always like oil and water with each other. Two dominant personalities fighting for control.
Amren is a 15,000 year old cranky old bat (I say that semi-lovingly). She does not have many long term relationships besides the IC, and really that is less than 1/30th of her life so far. She gave Nesta a chance to be her friend, but ultimately stopped fighting for her for reasons we may never really know.
Azriel, my love, is the only one who consistently treated Nesta with kindness and like she was an equal and that is why they have a good relationship with each other. Azriel doesn’t judge and ultimately has a connection to Nesta the way cassian and feyre have a connection with each other. Az and Nesta both feel like they don’t fit into the “in crowd” (aka the IC) due to the darkness within them. They also suffered generational family trauma.
Nesta’s trauma from the cauldron never stopped. Yes, she pushed it down to fight in the war, but she was never ready. She used the war as a goal to get to, to put her mind to something and be helpful. She is fiercely loyal to those she feels deserves her loyalty and has shown that they have earned it. By the end of the war she felt like she didn’t deserve what was being handed to her just because she was Feyre’s sister. She failed to keep the wall up to protect the humans and failed to save her father. Two impossible tasks that were placed on her shoulders. She had been taking magic lessons with amren for a couple of weeks before the war started. There is no way she would have been able to master her unknown power during that time, not to mention people just assumed she would be able to do it. She couldn’t save anyone, but at least she saved cassian. In that moment, he became the next impossible thing that she would not deserve. We are left in ACOWAR with Nesta being tentative in where she is in life. As of then, everything was being provided for her because she was Feyre’s sister. And that had been what happened to her for years. They stayed alive because of her in the cottage, they were brought back their wealth status because of her relationship to tamlin, and they were brought comfort and a life in velaris because of her and her relationship with rhys. Nesta didn’t feel like she earned any of it. Skip 6 months later to ACOFAS and Nesta is showing signs of depression, PTSD, and substance abuse. After the war, she spiraled. And she lashed out. And it was bad.
Not only was she repressing her trauma, she was repressing her magic. Don’t forget that rhys said that repressing your magic can make you go literally insane. She was on her whits end when ACOSF finally came around. She was drinking not just socially but to blatantly forget. She couldn’t take baths in bath tubs or listen to a fire crackle because it triggered her trauma. She was sleeping with random dudes left and right to numb her pain. She was out spending Rhys’s money on her bad coping habits.
I could keep going, but I’m not going to. Simply put, they all contributed to the toxic relationship between each other. The end of ACOSF does not mean it’s the end of Nesta’s journey, if anything it’s just the beginning. She and the IC have a lot of interpersonal patching up to do.
Did rhys and feyre do the right thing by stripping away Nesta’s rights and commandeering her up at the HoW? Probably not. They both have a streak of having good intentions but poor execution. Nesta needed a push to get her out of her head. The IC pushed for her to train because they all were able to push through their trauma’s by training. Feyre also explains why she needed to be in the library as well. Nesta loves books and reading, and by working in the library she will be surrounded by priestesses who also went through trauma and hoped it would bring her joy. At the end of the day, Nesta was a problem for their court and they handled it the way they thought best. Was it the right solution? Maybe not. But they are leaders and have to make hard decisions sometimes, and sometimes they aren’t always the best.
Nesta would not have done well with the coddling and the nice route the way feyre did. It just isn’t part of her personality. It wasn’t until she met gwyn and emerie and started developing the valkyrie did she start digging herself out of her hole. Unfortunately for Nesta, she had to be put into this shitty situation to find them.
Ultimately, if I’m ever mad at the situation, I’m usually mad at SJM for dealing with Nesta’s trauma the way that she did. Ultimately, we have seen the IC through the rose colored lenses that feyre sees them through. Through Nesta’s eyes we see them with the blinders off. Their personalities are the same but now don’t fit into the narrative for nesta. Just like feyre found her own family and made a new path for herself, so does nesta. Everyone wants to wash away her healing journey because they It wasn’t until she met gwyn and emerie and started developing the valkyrie did she start digging herself out of her own hole.
I love the IC, I love Nesta, I love the valkyries. I believe one day they can live their lives peacefully and bridge the gaps between them. Nesta now has a role that she has paved for herself and sees her worth in her own eyes now. And that might be the biggest takeaway from ACOSF. These characters are morally grey for a reason. They are layered and deep and if they can give each other grace, so can we.
