You walked by Ermes' cell during lunch and froze. She was sitting on her bed and... crying. You had never seen her cry like that before in your life. She always told you that she would be the strong one and the one to never shed a single tear, but here she was, bawling her eyes out.
"Ermes?" Your voice was soft and she looked up at you almost horrified.
She quickly wiped her tears and stood up from her bed. "Hey, y/n, what's up?"
You stepped inside since all of the cell doors were wide open for lunch. "Ermes, are you alright?" You set down your food and sat on Ermes' bed. She slumped down next to you and let a few more tears fall.
"I really did kill that son of a bitch." She said quietly. You couldn't tell if she was proud of herself or not.
You watched the whole thing and learned a lot about Ermes that day. She was strong and has been through a lot and you were proud that she was willing to go through with her revenge story and not feel an ounce bad for that asshole she had killed. But you could tell something inside of her was still hurting.
"I'm sorry about Gloria." You wanted to comfort Ermes, so your voice was soft and you rubbed her shoulder, your cold hand causing goosebumps to form on her warm arm.
"It was years ago." She sniffled, hugging her knees.
"That still doesn't make it okay. You must be going through a lot right now, huh?"
All she could do was nod at you. Her heart was shattered and everything from her past had come flooding back. You couldn't imagine what she was going through.
"If you need anything, Ermes, just let me know. I'm here for you."
"I just want you." Giant tears fell down her cheeks as you pulled her into your arms, just letting her cry and feel what she had been repressing all that time. She had finished what she had originally come to prison for and you were proud of her, but could see her brain was going a thousand miles an hour.
You held Ermes in that cell for as long as she needed. She needed you and you needed her, there was nothing that was going to change that.
"I love you, y/n." Ermes said.
You cupped her face in your hands and pressed a kiss onto her nose. "I love you, Ermes. And I'm so proud of you."
For the first time, Ermes smiled a genuine smile before pulling you forward and placing a kiss onto your lips.
You would do anything for this girl.

CBS Ghosts Reviews: A Traveling Agent
I found the penultimate episode of this season to be delightful. Pete discovering his super awesome power completely on accident (I agree with Alberta that he got his power because he was a travel agent who never traveled and here's his chance now, but I also think it's fun that they gave one of the most practical ghosts one of the most practical and useful powers.) And plus, Isaac and Nigel had the perfect shocked looks when Pete went over the ghost boundary.
As I said before, I applaud the writers for trying to give us Pete and Jay bonding time, but it was obvious that Jay would lose him, although through no fault of his own since he has no way to see or communicate with Pete the way Sam can, and for Pete's first trip, the three of them should have gone and worked out a system if possible for Jay to be able to see or otherwise communicate with Pete away from Sam.
However, Jay's descriptions of where he went after he left Pete were just SO Jay and SO funny (especially Sas and Hetty's different reactions to hearing about all the fast food Jay is consuming, *especially* Hetty's "You are a *chef*, sir!") I also loved how Pete not wanting to go on errands with Jay reminded her of her butler not wanting to go out during the consumption outbreak of '84. They gave her some funny lines in this episode!) Also, Sas saying that all the fast food means Jay is living his best life definitely puts him in position as Pete's second ghost friend and I would like to see more development of this relationship in the future.)
I always love to be taken to new places and see what sorts of ghosts are outside of Woodstone and I think the deal mart or whatever they called it did not disappoint. I *love* that they had trampled Black Friday shoppers as ghosts, who seemed like really lovely people on top of it. That poor woman has to carry the tv around for all time now but let it be a lesson to her. And I love the guy's ghost power to make people forget why they were in aisles.
Deal Mart after Dark was intense, and was I surprised that they actually gave us a ghost with a Cleaver in his brain like something out of Ghost Whisperer or the Sixth Sense? Yes I was, and no wonder Pete was terrified. I would have been too. Especially since at first I thought they would be nice like the fish in the tank in Finding Nemo but...nope. Thank goodness for Gloria and her TV holding them off.
I was a little worried for him when he was out there in the dark but as Hetty says, he has a good sense of direction and other skills from scouting that got him home, so that's good. (I wonder how he doesn't know who Barack Obama and Eli Manning are, though. I realize he died in '85 and has never left the mansion since but I'm sure Sam's had the TV on or that it's just generally been on with them talked about on it. Or not? Or did he just not pay attention? Curious thing.)
Loved seeing him mad when he finally got back because as someone who's a bit of a homebody, sometimes it DOES feel weird when I got out to somewhere other than work and it takes time to get acclimated in ways that more outgoing, outdoorsy people wouldn't understand. So I was glad to hear him say something. (I also loved him smelling the s'mores, that was funny.) And Sas' "Describe a bus" and Isaac describing a fire truck instead was just one of my favorite parts.
Also, making them all a throple was an interesting way to resolve Flower/Thor/Nancy and I'll be interested to see how their different personalities all play out, although I've lost faith in Thor being genuinely compelling in a romantic relationship and would much rather just see Flower and Nancy doing something but who knows what's gonna happen with that?
All in all a good episode, like I said, and now we have a wedding to prepare for next week (hopefully interrupted by Patience the Feral Puritan, please, please, please!) Also I really am nervous about the cliffie that Asher Grodman said we're gonna see. It's gonna be even more intense than the season two cliffie. I'm just gonna prepare to cry or be outraged. I don't know about the rest of you. Cheers!

Stumbled on your AU and it sounds SO COOL, the female protags often get sidelined and I really loved reading about them here! :D I was Immediately expecting Hikari to be full of ghosts or a time traveler with the comment about her way of speaking and bearing and it's so cool! ALSO man,,,I love protags being older than base game lets them be,,,,I love to see it
Question about your Hikari specifically; from what I can tell as Akari she is still in Hisui. Will she ever be able to make her way home? Or is it like a concurrent, conflicting timeline thing? I hope this doesn't sound mean dxfcgv I'm just really interested in how they work out in story!
Also if it IS a fall and then return, did she know the other protags prior? Does it change how she interacts with them? REALLY love that Leaf is as nonverbal as Red, that's something I really enjoy about Red that I like to see for her as well! Esp since Leaf Green was the first game I owned (borrowed my cousin's Blue for One [1] car ride but yeah) so I am especially attached to her as the protag. ;w; Green I am sure has no idea how to handle her sincere congratulations because that MAN he is....he sure is. XD
LOVE TO SEE SOME LOVE FOR FEARSOME POKEMON YOU GO KOTONEEEEE so so glad you still have Kris present as well, very attached to her dxfcvgbn
Me handshake Haruka I too want every single pokedoll in existence, what is her favorite pokedoll she has? Is there a story behind it? Has she ever learned how to make her own? Also LOVE to see a sea shantier, heck yeah. Does she have a favorite shanty? Or favorite vibe of shanty I guess dxcfvbghn LOVE that Touka suplexes Boldores, has she always had that strength or did she have to slowly run a gauntlet of suplexing Pokemon until she got there? Did she ever suplex a train- I saw you're a fan of ferriswheelshipping and I enjoy that your Touko and N both share the desire to protect innocents, is it maybe something they bond over?
I feel Mei's clumsiness on a deep level because I swear I run into things every DAY, at least she has someone to keep her from getting hurt too badly. XD I really like that she's both doing Pokemon things and looking for her prince; in a lot of media I feel like one is often sidelined for the other, and it's nice to see what looks like it'll be a healthy mix! Also I have to ask, do her Enamorus attempts end in success or catastrophe? Who has she most famously [or infamously] gotten together?
Love what you've done with Serena as well! Does she ever Rhyhorn race herself?
AND WE LOVE A GHOSTY PRANKSTER as someone who just Absorbs behaviors from those around me I really really enjoy the thought of someone doing that with ghost Pokemon. And love the callback to the hex maniac line heheheheheeee
RIP GLORIA YOU ARE NEVER GONNA RECOVER FROM THAT ONE OH NOOOOOOO but love the use of valiant bcus it's not used enough and it also like. Paints a picture. Like in a crisis, this Gloria would stare it down and do everything to avert it, and I really like that.
I've barely even touched Paldea szdxcfvg so I know nothing about it BUT love a straight A scholar, and I love Juliana's naming scheme too! Does she have any favorite courses? Any specific part of Pokemon research she may enjoy?
ANYWAY THIS GOT. REALLY LONG. I'M SORRY. But I also gotta ask my favorite question for any Pokeoc/Pokeau, which is what is everyone's favorite Pokemon type and why is it Bug type
FEEL FREE to not answer all my rambles sdfxcggvh I know it's a lot, but I really love what I saw on the protags page and I wanted to know more! :D
Tumblr media
I agree that the protagonists are prone to being sidelined; it's been a steadily increasing occurrence ever since character customization was introduced to the series. That's actually one of several reasons why I began this blog!
These girls are so very important to me.
Now, to address your Hikari-related question: Hikari, or rather Akari, is determined to return to her time, reunite with her companions (both human and Pokémon), and continue striking terror into the hearts of challengers as Sinnoh's ruthless Champion. But she may tempt a boy into following her home, though...
And yes! Akari has in fact met the other protagonists prior to being sent to the Hisuian era! The narration of the story I'm currently writing even mentions a few of the other girls, showing that she does indeed know them, and well enough to apparently be familiar with some of their various quirks.
All of them meet one another sometime shortly after the events of Black 2 and White 2, at the World Tournament in Driftveil City. It's sort of similar to that scene in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, a collective realization of "You're like me...(!!)"
But about Hikari's/Akari's manner of speech. This is something I'm struggling with somewhat, since I'm afraid that what's written in her character profile may be misleading. I'm aiming to give her an elegant way of speaking, but this is more meant to allude to her not sounding unusual at all when she's swept away to Hisui - which ironically only makes her seem even more suspicious to those like Kamado.
My decision for Leaf to also be mostly nonverbal was partly because it sounded interesting to write, but also because I wanted to try a different approach with a silent character - normally they're depicted as shy or standoffish, but Leaf isn't either. She's as vibrant as can be, and loves to interact with people.
Kotone's team isn't set in stone yet, but aside from Eva, her Typhlosion, she has a Gyarados (Carmen), and I would love to give her a Tyranitar too! All three quite fearsome!
And Kris taking the role of Kotone's friendly rival - I dislike adapting characters out, I want to give a role to everyone, especially the first female protagonist in the series. Even though she's the friendly rival, Kris is intended to be just as tough of a challenge as Silver - she has the starter weak to Kotone's, which is a Chikorita, but she very quickly covers her partner's weakness.
Haruka doesn't exactly play favorites with her Poké Dolls; each is a valuable member of her plushie family! She freaks out if even one is unaccounted for. About her sea shanties, she does have a few she's fond of, like 'Paldean Ladies', and one that you may be familiar with that goes something like,
"O'er across the ocean's tide Rays of sunshine far and wide Wingull they sing of cheerful things, in circles passing by!"
Not a sea shanty, but she also enjoys singing 'Rainbow Connection'.
Touko's strength is tied to her passion to protect the innocent! It all began when she was young - she would beat up anyone that bullied Bianca or her "baby brother" Touya. Her having Pokémon now doesn't really stop her from pummeling people (or trying to), though-
She and N, while they're connected on wanting to protect innocents, throughout the events of Black and White, they constantly butt heads on the best method to do that. Touko also calls him "geek boy" after hearing him speak math one time.
Mei's most notable attempt at playing Enamorus... well, I'm certain if you think about it long enough, you'll figure it out!
Serena enjoys Rhyhorn riding more as a recreational activity rather than something to seriously pursue. It's more like Rhyhorn strolling when she's on the back of one.
Mizuki is meant to be this girl in FireRed and LeafGreen!
Tumblr media
Another reason she admires Leaf is because she didn't even so much as flinch when she and her Ghost-type pal pranked her. Her eyes just widened in surprise, no scream as expected!
As for Gloria's past crush, Hop is a good boy and lets sleeping Yamper lie. But her big brother Victor... "But Leon, you CAN'T go! I LOOOOVE you!" And he carries on until she has to slap him-
Juliana doesn't have a favorite class because she loves everything about her academic experience. But Director Clavell is her favorite member of the staff.
Everyone's preferred type? Well, I wouldn't say anybody has one since their teams are relatively balanced. Haruka and Kotone show appreciation for Bug-types, though!
This response has gotten rather lengthy as well, but thank you for showing such interest in Sisterhood!

Hi! Could you write ♥▼ for Rosa, ♡♦ for Miguel (besides music), ☯ for Luisa, and ☮ for Abel, please? I know it's a little much, but I love your headcanons. Take your time and thank you in advance if you decide to answer this!
Hi hi, hello!! Thank you so much for liking my headcanons! Of course I would love to answer your ask! I love Rosa and Abel almost as much as I love Miguel (to the point that they are part of the main cast for an AU I am working on), and I would be glad to talk about Mamá Luisa too! It's a long one, so I'll put it all under a Read More.
This is from this ask meme, by the way!
Let's start with Rosa: ♥ Family Headcanon ♥
This is inspired by rainydesignastronomywriter's brilliant Rosa-centric fanfics on AO3. I like to think that Rosa is a real daddy's girl and takes a lot after him. She loves her mamá to bits, of course, but she and Berto are very close. One can even say that she is her father's soul of his soul. During their dance at her quinceañera, Berto could not hold back his tears after realizing how much his darling daughter had grown up. And he cried even more at her wedding.
▼Childhood Headcanon▼
Out of all the young Riveras, Rosa was the quickest to learn how to read. She liked playing like a typical little girl, of course, but she enjoyed reading a lot too. She would ask Berto or Carmen to read to her sometimes, but there were days where she would read on her own too.
-----
Now, the boy of the hour, Miguel:
♡ Romantic Headcanon ♡
As a kid and up until him attending high school, Miguel wasn't too keen on the idea of romance for himself. He loved writing love songs, but most of the songs in that nature are about the romances around him like that of his own parents, Mamá Coco and Papá Julio after he found out about how the two of them met, Tío Berto and Tía Carmen, Abuelita and Papá Franco, that one song he wrote for Abel so that the latter could serenade his beau, a joke song for Rosa and Marco (De La Cruz's actual great-great-grandson who had been considered an honorary Rivera for the longest time), and the countless songs he wrote in honor of Mamá Imelda and Papá Héctor.
That is, until a girl a year above him caught his eye: Shaila Medina Álvarez. She was, to him, aloof in a graceful way, much like Tía Victoria but without her sarcasm. Miguel became smitten around her since the moment he heard her sing. She had a voice similar to Laufey's but not as "blue", if that makes sense. This puppy love didn't go anywhere for the longest time, until they reunited when both of them had become adults and they both realized that they were better off as friends. Shaila has since become one of Miguel's biggest supporters in his musical endeavors. Each of them ended up finding other people that they truly fell in love with, but they still keep in touch every now and again.
♦ Quirks/Hobby Headcanons ♦
Ever since the fated Día de Muertos of 2017 and all of the dirt-digging on De La Cruz, Miguel has become super duper into researching topics like cold cases, less-known historical events, et cetera. It got to the point that sometimes he'd say that if he weren't a musician, he would love to become a historian.
He's also become even more artsy after that night. He's always been pretty decent at drawing (nothing like Papá, Tía Gloria and Papá Franco yet, though), but he also picked up alebrije-making. His first ever finished one was that of Dante. Designing his figure was extremely easy... for reasons coming up next!
His main quirk, however? Being able to visit the Land Of The Dead and communicate with spirits. After Día de Muertos in 2018, things didn't go back to normal. He starts to develop odd symptoms like having a glowing petal-shaped tattoo where the flower petal touched him (inspired by "Out Of Time", a brilliant Coco X Atlantis: The Lost Empire time-travel fanfic by Panic_CelestialInk on AO3), seeing spirits and the likes in his own realm (inspired by another fanfic I read long ago titled "Afterlifes" by Storm137), and, of course, visiting Papá Héctor and the rest of the family whenever he wants.
It comes with a price, though. When he first gained this ability, he and the rest of the Riveras found out that he was to work under La Muerte from that day on. His curse made him a creature of both the Dead and the Living, and now his task is to help lost souls cross over as well as to assist in exorcisms under the patronage of Santa Cecilia, the patron saint of music and the namesake of Miguel's hometown.
-----
Let's get to Mamá Luisa!
☯ Likes and Dislikes ☯
This is true canon fact, but she loves telenovelas. She never misses an episode, and would sometimes fantasize herself living as an actress. She would sometimes tell Enrique the plot of her newest telenovela obsession, and even though Enrique does not understand what she is saying he loves to listen to his wife anyway. And that is also why she loves her husband, Enrique.
She loves music too, and once dreamed of becoming a singer. Unfortunately, she cannot keep a note even if her life depends on it, but she does have a good sense of rhythm and she can dance well. This is also canon fact from one of the picture books, but I'm adding this here too. She loves Selena, Gloria Estefan, Shakira, Paulina Rubio, and Alejandra Guzman. Basically she loves the pop girlies. One of her fondest memories after the music ban was lifted (and also before, but without music) was teaching Enrique how to dance.
She also enjoys talking to Tía Carmen and Papá Franco. Before the music ban was lifted, they were the ones with whom Luisa could easily talk about everything to (besides Enrique, of course), especially regarding how much she missed music and how seeing her son's yearning for the forbidden art hurt her heart. You can imagine her relief when the music ban was finally lifted.
Luisa dislikes stubbornness, which she has learned to somewhat tolerate after living with the Riveras. She quickly learned that stubbornness runs in the family, and while she is capable of tolerating it she would still call them out if things go too far.
She also dislikes harsh punishment on children. While being somewhat strict herself, Luisa rarely raises her voice--being raised in a gentle home herself--and almost never uses La Chancla unless provoked, much like Tía Carmen. The kids love her and Tía Carmen for this.
-----
Now for Abel! I think he is VERY underrated, and deserves more love and appreciation.
☮ Friendship Headcanons ☮
Out of the youngest generation, only second to Miguel, Abel is easily the most sociable of the bunch. He has a lot of friends with whom he loves to play fútbol with, drink with, and later on sing with. His friend loves him for his kind heart and silly demeanor, but it is also fun to have a little banter with him every now and then. Abel loves his friends almost as much as he does his siblings and cousins, but there are two who know him best: Manolo Guiterrez and Ynez Ramos Castillo, Doña Castillo's granddchildren.
Manolo is two years older than Abel and is also his best friend from middle school. Besides with Mamá, Abel often talks to him whenever he is down. Ynez was Abel's classmate, also from middle school, and they were pretty close too. His friendship with Ynez later on develops into a romance after Abel successfully wooed Ynez with a song, with the help of a disgruntled Miguel.
And these are what Shaila, Manolo, and Ynez look like!

My thoughts on... Spider-Gwen: Smash 2023 (#1-4) & Giant-Size Spider-Gwen 2024 (#1)
It's finally time to talk about Spider-Gwen comics again! I was super excited and hyped when this miniseries first got announced at SDCC and really couldn't wait until the issues started releasing. On top of that a giant sized issue also later on got announced as a follow up to this miniseries which made me even more excited! Now that the series has wrapped up it's finally time to talk about it! I absolutely loved this series and everything it did! For a while now Spider-Gwen comics have had quite a few unresolved plotlines lying around that just have been ignored, however this series finally touches upon a few of them! The two main ones being how Gwen got to live back peacefully on earth 65 after she got forced to 616 due to the Storm siblings, and the major one being MJ Carnage (but more on that later!). It also focussed on a few aspects of Gwen and her stories that haven't had quite the focus in recent miniseries, the main one being her band. It was such a blast seeing her go on tour with her band trying to balance being Ghost-Spider while also being a bandmember and also dealing with some personal stuff. It's such an amazing concept for a series and it worked so well. I'm also very glad that they're following up onto Gwen not feeling at home in her own dimension because it was a really cool plotpoint from the (Spider-Gwen:) Ghost-Spider run and i'm happy they finally zoomed in a bit more on that. It was always a part of that run that hit hard for me so it was great to see it get more attention. Especially now that Gwen has been away from her home dimension for a while. It was so interesting to see her try to find something to make her stay and make her choose her own earth above all the other ones she could go too. And the way she finds that meaning within her band and MJ is so cool. Speaking of the band, I really loved Gwen's dynamic with them in this. It's very in line with her debut run where she has troubles balancing her superhero stuff with the band stuff and while the band does get mad at her, they're always there for her no matter what. And I love that it's still a thing in this miniseries. The Mary Janes are one of my favorite supporting casts in comics so I was super glad to see them get such a focus in this and how their dynamic with Gwen is and evolves throughout the mini.
Now another dynamic I just have to talk about is the one between Gwen and MJ. Let me preface this by saying that i've always felt they had romantic tension going on and that their frustrations with each other came out of a place of love and being unable to understand each other properly. And I am so so glad that this mini series finally acknowledges that romantic tension in such a big way while also continuing the MJ Carnage plotline. I really love how they built up Gwen's and MJ's dynamic, even with small moments like the scene in #1 where they peform at the same place where the Gwenom vs Carnage battle took place in 616 and MJ reminds Gwen of that and how this time it's just them and the music. Moments like these were so great and genuine and I just loved them. #3 is when things really get exciting as MJ is finally more upfront regarding her feelings for Gwen (even towards Gloria whom she's currently still dating, I know akward situation!). And wants to talk with Gwen about it before getting kidnapped. It's also a really big issue as Gwen finally finds out MJ has a crush on her all while growing closer towards her band. This is a bit of a side tangent but I really liked the dynamic between Gwen and Gloria and how there was a lot of jealousy at play due to MJ. Was really well done in my opinion. Now back on topic, #4 and Giant-Size also were great for finally advancing the dynamic between Gwen and MJ. Gwen fighting against MJCarnage while MJ rants out her deepest frustrations about Gwen was so cool and I loved that they kept that part from Gwenom vs Carnage, as it was a thing I actually loved about that mini. The moment during that fight that really stood out to me is when MJ is ranting about Gwen not knowing her truly and not caring for her with Gwen replying that if MJ thinks she doesn't care for her it's MJ that actually doesn't know her truly. Small moment but really sweet as it once again shows how much these two truly care about each other even if they don't always express it in healthy ways. The way the 4th issue ends with it being implied that Gwen is open to trying to make a relationship work made me so happy! I really think these two deserve their happy ending together while finally being upfront with each other and leaving the bottled up frustrations due to not understanding each other behind. I really really hope future writers of her comics take this plotpoint and explore it further (hopefully in her ongoing later this year) and make Gwen and MJ finally have that talk they've been wanting to have. Especially with how things end for them in giant size (but more on that later). Another really cool thing about this mini was all the new earth 65 counterparts of iconic 616 characters. It's one of my favorite things about earth 65 and it once again delivered with Dazzler, Black Widow and Bruce Banner. I really loved Gwen's friendship with Dazzler and hope we see them team up again in the future. Black Widow was also a really cool take on the character that's very familiar yet different (i absolutely love her design in this!). I love that she has a certain mystique to her and we don't know the full extent of who she truly is. She's powerful that's for sure, knowing that she was responsible for the Storm siblings leaving Gwen alone. Bruce Banner was also super interesting, admittedly he did came over very cliché but when you read his dialogue a few times you notice he's actually a very intriguing villain with a very interesting view on the world. I wish we would've seen more of him as I truly think he has a lot of potential. The big thing I love about his character is how it subverts the Hulk. Instead of being this angry monster the Hulk is actually the good side while Banner is the bad side. It's such a simple twist yet it works so well. I really hope we'll see more of him!
Now for the giant size issue! Well you can't really call it giant size as it's only like 20 pages of new content but hey it was fun so i'm not complaining too much! I really loved the entire concept of that issue. Gwen and MJ making their way through the city to meet Black Widow on time all while dealing with a bunch of villains they really don't have any time for whatsoever. It was such a funny issue with a lot of good comedic moments. MJCarnage was a really fun character in this with her ridiculous anger issues and it was so fun to see Gwen deal with that, especially when she's on the phone with Black Widow. That entire scene was just gold. I also liked how it introduced some new villains and set up Gwen's own sinister six with some very unique members. I really hope we get to see that setup come to fruitition at some point. It might be unlikely given the concept of the new Spider-Gwen ongoing that's releasing later this year. However during their setup tease there were a few 616 characters on the screen so who knows, maybe they'll travel to 616 to take upon Gwen! The final moments between Gwen and MJ before MJ leaves with Black Widow to learn to control her symbiote were so emotional. Especially with how Gwen was uncontrollably crying and shaking. It's so bittersweet. MJ's feelings for her are out in the open and Gwen is willing to make it work and have a solid talk with her about everything. Yet they never get to have that talk due to everything that's been going on. I really hope that they get to have that talk in the future and things work out for them. I'm really rooting for them! MJ's final line being "I love you Gwen" was such a perfect yet bittersweet moment. Very emotional moment. I think all in all this miniseries and giant sized issues were an amazing story that was very much needed for Spider-Gwen. It perfectly deals with some of the unresolved plotlines from her previous series while also exploring new things that were in desperate need of being finally explored. The characterization in this was very solid and very in line for all the characters. And I loved how much this series kept in mind the history of the characters and previous runs. I loved the character development in this for both Gwen and Mj. I had a blast reading this as the issues came out and it was so exciting to theorize what might happen next as i read the issues. I'm very sad that it's over but I'm very happy with what they did with this series. It took Gwen's story into such a good direction and even though her new ongoing will deal with something completely else I hope it gets the chance to follow up to the events of this series at some point. Regardless I'm very very hyped for her new ongoing and can't wait to write about it here!

Chapter 24 - The Royal Wedding 
The joint bachelor party in Paris was a huge success, and what made it even better was that no one had messed anything up. No press intruding, or obnoxious nobles whining about not being invited. It was an intimate affair with the wedding party and their guests. Everyone mostly did their own thing and it was perfect.
Liam and Riley’s wedding was to take place the following day and the head wedding planner was reviewing the final details with the wedding party. “Ok..” Gloria skimmed her list. “So in Lady Riley’s wedding party we have Lady Lilith Nevrakis, Lord Maxwell Beaumont, and Lord Ander Beaumont.” Riley clapped her hands as she threw her arms around her cousin and brother.
“I’m so glad you guys are on my side! Even though I had to steal Max from Liam.” Riley winked at Liam who gave her a cheeky smile.
Gloria made a couple notes and continued. “And in King Liam’s party we have Drake Walker, Leo Rys, and Lord Rashad Faheem.” Gloria cleared her throat. “My, there are a lot of gentlemen in this wedding.”
“Is that a problem?” Riley asked in concern.
Gloria gave her a forced smile. “Other than the fact that it isn’t traditional, as long as it's what you want.”
“Hey.” Leo spoke from his chair in the back of the room, his feet casually propped up on a table. “If my future sis wants her wedding party to be sausage fest, that shouldn’t be a problem.” Max and Ander snickered at Leo.
“Leo!” Liam furrowed his brow as he looked at his brother in disgust. “I mean, you’re right, but why do you have to say it like that?!”
Leo shrugged. “Just callin’ it like I see it! Other than you, Lil.” He winked at Lilith and Drake rolled his eyes.
“Give me a fucking break.” Drake mumbled under his breath.
“Don’t worry Walker, I won’t take your girl.” Leo chuckled.
“Ha!” Lilith laughed loudly as she shoved Leo’s legs off the table. “Like you could.”
“Easy Nevrakis!” Leo chuckled. “By the way, how’s your sister? Text her for me and ask if she’s DTF at the reception tomorrow.”
“Pass.” Lilith rolled her eyes as she climbed onto Drake’s lap.
“We are getting spectacularly off track!” Gloria said with pink cheeks.
“I agree!” Liam looked pointedly at his brother who winked.
Gloria sighed. “Now, we have extensively rehearsed what will happen at the ceremony so I am certain there will not be any mishaps during-.”
“Lightbulb!” Max interrupted with a delighted smile. “What if we do that thing where we switch on some crazy club music and each take turns dancing down the aisle!?”
“Absolutely not!” Gloria shrieked as she looked at Maxwell in disbelief. “This is a royal wedding, not a... youtube video!”
“Aw.” Max sat back and pouted with his arms crossed.
“Hey.” Riley nudged him. “At the reception, you can dance to whatever you want! After our first dance, the ballroom is gonna be lit!”
Gloria rubbed a hand down her face as she made more notes. “Lord help me get through this.. Now, the hair and makeup artists will arrive at 10:00 am, and you should all be ready to head to the cathedral by 1:00. Then the ceremony will start promptly at 2:00.”
“Do you think the hair stylist would dye my hair before the ceremony?” Riley's brother interrupted as he ran his hands through his dark brown hair. “I was thinking about dying it the same color as the bow ties! How freaking cool would it look to walk down the aisle with light pink hair?!”
Max gasped. “Yes! Ander, you genius! I’m in!”
“Hell ya, let’s do it!” Leo reached out to high five Maxwell.
“Dear god, no!” Gloria sighed. “Please.. Refrain from dying your hair until after the wedding.”
“Gloria, you are really harshing the vibe in here, shutting down all our ideas.” Ander said as he pulled out a blunt from his jacket pocket, attempting to light it. “Anybody else need a hit?”
“Pass that shit over here!” Leo called out from the couch.
Gloria was frozen in place watching Ander take a long draw before passing it to the former prince. “WHAT. IS. HAPPENING?!” Gloria screeched.
“I’m so sorry!” Riley put her hands over her face. “Ander, why would you think this is the right time or place to get high?!”
“Someone pass this to Gloria, I think she's broken!” Leo chuckled as he blew out a plume of smoke.
“Ok!” Liam stood up, trying to keep calm. “I think this meeting is over.” He forced a smile. “We will see you all in the morning.”
The wedding party stood up, making their way out of the room. The only person who hadn’t moved was Rashad who was typing furiously on his phone. “Lord Rashad? Lord Rashad?!” Liam cleared his throat and Rashad looked up from his phone.
“Oh, I’m sorry Your Majesty! Were we going to start discussing the wedding details now?”
Liam and Riley looked at each other, bewildered, and Gloria spoke coolly, “Lord Rashad have you not been paying attention this entire time?”
“Oh dear.” Rashad’s face fell. “I apologize. I’ve been hammering out the details on this new project I’m working on, so I-”
“Just.. go.” Gloria sighed and waved him out the door. “I’m going to type everything up for everyone in excruciating detail so we do NOT have to meet like this again.”
Rashad smiled ruefully as he left the room, leaving Lilith, Drake, Liam, Riley, and Gloria behind. Gloria took a deep breath. “I better get busy typing this before a Beaumont dyes their hair or sneaks pot into the wedding cake. I’ll see you all in the morning.”
The four friends were left in the room watching each other in disbelief. “Well, that could have been worse.” Riley said and Liam burst out laughing.
“I don't think it could have.” He chuckled. “I’m so sorry everyone. My brother is.. Well you all know how he is.”
Riley ran her hands through her hair. “Mine too.”
Lilith laughed as she wrapped an arm around Riley, giving her a quick squeeze. “Don’t worry, they'll behave tomorrow. And if I have to threaten them, I will.”
Drake spoke next, “She’s right. You two have enough to worry about. Let us handle the family bullshit.”
“Look at you, taking your best man duties seriously.” Liam nudged Drake with a smile. “Thank you both for everything.”
“Seriously.” Riley smiled. “You two are the best.”
“We know.” Lilith smirked. “Now I’m going to go have a talk with everyone else in the wedding party. During the ceremony, Rashad will not have his cell phone, Ander will not have any weed, Max will not have pink hair, and Leo will not.. do any of the above.”
______________________________________________________
The morning of the wedding, Drake and Liam were getting ready in Liam’s suite. People were scurrying about, fixing Liam’s regalia and making sure their clothes and hair were perfect. Drake waved someone away who was attempting to put concealer under his eyes. “No.. no way in hell.”
She raised her eyebrows and hurried away. The hair stylist was coating Liam’s hair with a thick plume of hairspray and he coughed. “I think.. That’s enough.”
“Yes, Your Majesty!” The man bowed before retreating from the room. Finally the room was quiet and empty and Drake and Liam could relax for a moment. 
“Shit, this is worse than your coronation!” Drake chuckled. “At least no one tried to put fucking makeup on me then.”
Liam couldn’t help the laugh that burst out of him. “I’m sorry. Part of me still can’t believe you even agreed to be my best man. You know you’re going to be up there in front of everyone. There will be wedding photographers, paparazzi, nobles, reporters.. Everything Drake Walker hates.”
Drake shook his head with a smile. “Well, it’s not every day your best friend gets married.”
“I suppose I’ll have to return the favor when it’s your turn.”
Drake grinned and said, “ya.”
Liam’s eyes went wide. “Wait, what?!”
“What?”
“You didn’t deny it!”
“What do you mean?” 
Liam covered his mouth, trying to hide his smile. “Drake!”
Drake shook his head, his brow furrowed in confusion. “What the hell are you doing right now? Besides acting like Riley?”
“Oh my god..” Liam was still grinning. “Are you going to propose to Lilith?”
“No! Why would you think that?”
“Drake, any time I’ve ever mentioned marriage to you, you nearly vomit in disgust and adamantly deny the prospect of ever settling down.”
Oh shit. Of course Liam knew what he was thinking. That intuitive bastard. “Look, it’s just that the idea.. isn’t.. absolutely horrible anymore.”
“Wow.” Liam was grinning broadly. “Come on.. I’m not going to tease you, I just want you to be honest with me.”
“I am! The idea isn’t.. horrible.”
“Come on, talk to meeee.. I know you didn't buy me anything for my wedding so this can be my present.”
“You’re so fucking stupid.” Drake rolled his eyes. “And I did actually buy you something!”
“A bottle of whiskey doesn't count!” Liam smirked and Drake groaned in response. “Come on.. Let it out!”
Drake remained silent for a minute, and sighed. “Maybe one day..”
“How are you going to do it? When? Where?”
“My god, since when are you so nosy?”
Liam chuckled. “Since my best friend is thinking about proposing to his girlfriend.”
“I never said..” Drake ran a hand down his face. “You know what? Fuck it. Yes, one day I’m gonna do it. There.. Happy now?”
“Very!” Liam grinned and Drake couldn't help but smile.
“Don't say a word about this to anyone.. Especially Riley!” Drake knew Riley would tell Lilith in a heartbeat if she found out. “It’s not going to happen tomorrow or anything. Maybe in a few years.”
Liam shook his head with a good-natured laugh. “I won’t tell her, don't worry. And if you actually need to talk about it, I’m here.”
Drake was thankful for the interruption when Gloria poked her head in to let them know it was time to go. He had barely even admitted to himself that one day he wanted to marry Lilith. Admitting it out loud to another person was painful. 
The afternoon flew by and Drake found himself beside the altar in an ornate cathedral reserved only for royal functions. His heart was pounding as he stood in front of hundreds of people who he only imagined were judging him. Liam, decked out in his regalia, looked cool as a cucumber like always. Although Drake knew from speaking with him before the ceremony that he was a nervous wreck. Leo and Rashad were standing to the left of Drake and thankfully neither had pink hair, smelled like pot, or had their cell phone out so that was one less thing to worry about. 
Seated a couple rows from the front, he saw his sister, Savannah, smiling brightly at him. Drake tried to hide it, but he couldn’t help but smile back. He wasn’t even sure if she was going to make it to the wedding until this morning, and this was the first time he had seen her in years. She smirked and mouthed ‘looking good’ and he rolled his eyes. She always teased him when he dressed up.
Some classical music Drake didn’t recognize started playing and the doors at the end of the insanely long aisle were thrown open. The first one down the aisle was Maxwell, who had a mischievous grin on his face. That is, until he passed by Bertrand in the aisle and immediately straightened his posture and masked his expression into an emotionless robot. Drake was actually thankful for Bertrand for once. Ander was a ways behind him, looking slightly terrified. Drake had to stop himself from chuckling. Lilith had definitely threatened him. The next person down the aisle caused his heart to skip a beat. Clad in a baby pink lace and chiffon gown, was the most beautiful woman in the world. Her gorgeous red hair was partially tied back in loose curls that fell across her shoulders. Drake met her eyes as she continued making her way to the front of the room, clearly trying her hardest not to smile at him. She glanced over to Drake, briefly checking him out in his tux, then stared straight ahead, dutifully playing the role of maid of honor to the future Queen.
Drake, however, didn’t give a shit about how much he was ogling her. His eyes never left her as she took her place next to the altar. Leo elbowed him and whispered, “keep it in your pants, man.”
Drake fought the urge to say something snarky back. Not the time.. Maybe later. Ya.. later he was going to knee Leo in the balls. He could make it look like an accident.
Everyone in the crowd stood as the music changed, and Drake saw Liam’s breath quicken. Riley emerged on the arm of her father, looking every bit the Queen of Cordonia, covered in diamonds and silk, complete with a tiara. Drake had always heard that in a wedding you should watch the groom's face to see their reaction, and that’s what he did. Liam took a deep breath, before dabbing his eyes with a gloved hand.
It was amazing to see how love can change a person. Sure Liam had always been a romantic, but never did he let his emotions show to the public. Now he was actually tearing up watching the woman he loved walk down the aisle toward him. Drake couldn't help but think about how his own wedding would be. If he was the groom watching Lilith walk towards him. He looked over and Lilith was smiling at him, before turning her attention back to Riley. He wondered if she was thinking the same thing, and a giddy smile broke out across his face.
The ceremony was extremely long, and several people cried during Liam and Riley’s wedding vows. Maxwell was nearly sobbing when Riley thanked him personally for introducing her to Liam in the first place. Drake couldn’t deny that even he felt touched by it all. Once Riley and Liam were pronounced husband and wife, Drake took Lilith’s arm and they walked back down the aisle together. 
She spoke softly, “how you holding up, best man? Ready to run yet?”
Drake chuckled quietly, “It’s not that bad.”
Lilith smiled. “I saw you tearing up at their wedding vows, you softie.” 
Drake turned to her with his mouth agape, speaking a little too loudly. “Did not!” Lilith grinned as they nearly reached the exit of the cathedral. Drake whispered. “You’re one to talk. I saw you sniffling. You’re not as hard as you think you are.”
Lilith bumped his shoulder with hers when they finally reached the exit. Ander and Leo were next, then Maxwell and Rashad behind them. They continued until they reached a private room where the wedding party could relax.
“I swear to god, if someone doesn’t let me take a hit I’m gonna lose it!” Ander took a deep breath. “I was sweating like a pig up there!”
“Just.. go to another room to do it.” Gloria sighed, looking defeated as she waved him away. “A private room and lock the door!”
“Wait up!” Leo chased after him, pausing to clap Liam on the shoulder. “Congrats bro!”
Rashad pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and began furiously scrolling through his emails in the corner of the room.
“Guess that just leaves the VIPs!” Max said as he threw his arms around Riley and Liam. “Congrats you guys!”
“Thanks Max!” Riley leaned her head on his shoulder with a smile before taking Liam’s hands. “We're married! We did it!!”
Liam pulled her to him and gave her a searing kiss, causing her to squeal in surprise. “I love you so much,” he said smiling at her as if she hung the moon in the sky.
“I love you too baby!” Riley beamed right back at him. “Now, let’s get the rest of the formal shit out of the way so we can party!”
“Wooooo!” Max yelled and Gloria closed her eyes, sighing in exasperation.
“I'll check and see if Ander and Leo are ‘lit’ enough to head to the reception.” Gloria pinched the bridge of her nose as she left the room.
“Why do I feel like we hired a female Bertrand to coordinate our wedding?” Riley chuckled.
“That is.. disturbingly accurate.” Max shuddered.
“Hey.” Riley took Liam’s hands and smiled at everyone. “You guys ready to tear it up at the reception?!”

Sorry to pop in again so soon, but I just had to return and offer a little more praise.
Okay so after reading the 3rd part and letting all of that settle on my soul - and getting over my initial "omg I fricking love this fic" excitement - I just need to say I am floored by your storytelling prowess. Your description of things are so immaculate that there's no question as to what you mean and how that feels/looks/sounds etc. Lines like "Barbie feels like her insides have been scooped out and replaced with fragile things. She has to move slowly, breathe carefully, to keep from jarring them, because they’ll grow stronger but they haven’t yet." Perfect. Anyone who's been there knows exactly how that feels like and knows you've described it to a T. I love how you were able to take complicated things like that and put words to them.
Your characterizations are spot-on. Ken saying he felt "spinny"? Like yeah, I could totally hear it in my head, and it was definitely believable he said that. But more than that though, you helped us readers understand what these two were *feeling* and did so without sacrificing who we saw in the movie. It's like I was a doll experiencing humanity for the first time too, in all its good and bad.
The detailing of how they feel about being human - "but she still wakes up with her flesh and blood heart beating too fast and her flesh and blood skin sticky with cold sweat (yuck)" - and how they're coping with it - "Gloria feels her stomach lurch when she sees his hands, cuticles and nails picked at and chewed on, every imperfection worried at until they’re impossible to ignore. Barbie has the same problem, but a spinning ring and a flawless manicure every time she gets her hair touched up have mostly taken care of it." - are beautiful in their own way. I really can't get over how you've really helped the readers put themselves in their shoes and feel as they feel in their newfound humanity.
Not to mention how you've developed their platonic soulmate AU which I am HERE FOR. I love it so much, like that last part with their foreheads touching had me in tears. And the angst - my word! - also had me in tears too. Those poor babies.
Anyway, as I said before: you're a genius with wonderful gifts, and thank you for sharing them with us. I will definitely be keeping an eye on your Ao3 to see any more posting in the future if you so choose to do so. But please, please may we have at least one little thing where Ken gets some happiness please? I think he's earned it, but that's just me.
I'll leave you alone now, but I just really needed to share this. Thanks again <3
Thank you SO much for this and I am not put upon at all :D I love getting compliments about my work lol so definitely don’t apologize
Genuinely thank you, though, because I’m so glad you feel that way about the fics. I’m trying very hard to convey the humanness vs. dollness of it all, and to have the characters talk and act like themselves, just in this really weird and often sad situation. I’m also glad the spinny lines worked lol. I was like “how would Ken describe the feeling of spiraling?” and that’s what I got.
AND YEAH, someone said in the comments on the first fic that it was giving dark soulmate AU vibes, and I was like yayyy love that that was noticeable, and I’ve kept leaning on it because I think it’s so interesting. (Though the darker aspects have faded.)
And lmao I swear Ken will have a good time soon!!! I genuinely started feeling bad for him at a certain point in the last fic of the trilogy and I was like “man, I need this guy to pet a horse or something and possibly not even cry once within three thousand words.” But he’s going through the very beginning of the adjustment period in that trilogy, so it is Not easy. But again—things will look up for him now!!! I have plans!!!
(I do also have plans for more heavy angst, but my threat of a fic where Ken just overall has a great time still stands. I actually have plans for it to maybe be the first fic in the vignette collection that will probably be the last entry in this series. But plans change, so don’t quote me on that. Things WILL look up, though.)
(Also, obligatory link to the series: something in me in you.)

Review Blurbs: Barbie (2023)
~General Thoughts~
-I thought this movie would be like... PG. And then it got really emotional when Barbie was looking through Gloria's memories of the days when her and her daughter were at their happiest before Sasha grew up. And then Barbie got called a fascist. So
-Margot Robbie is an insanely talented actor. I'm gonna be honest, I'm not sure how well the movie would've done for me if I wasn't invested in the main character but Margot completely ate the role and made the story of Stereotypical Barbie very endearing to watch
-The pacing was surprisingly good for me, I'm usually really picky about pacing but they were able to balance out transitioning from the silly stuff to serious and back again pretty well, Greta Gerwig you have my applause
-Its an interesting detail that the Real World is still intentionally somewhat unrealistic and caricature-ish similar to the Barbie world is; not sure if that's just Greta's style or if there was a reason for it, made the movie a little jarring imo but I'd love to know why she did it and what effect she was going for
-The fact that Barbie wasn't interested in Ken and rejected him and it was treated as a good thing is just *chef's kiss*
-The Kens fight scene being a colorful musical number with eccentric choreography was so fun to watch I want more
-I don't care what you've been through, nothing could've prepared anyone for that gynecology line. Its such a genius way to remind you that Barbie now has to deal with the biological changes of becoming human. 10/10
-Allan beating up the construction worker Kens was the best moment 10/10
-Speaking of Allan, I loved how Allan was a metaphor for someone who doesn't fit into the gender binary. He was the only non Barbie/Ken, had his own unique name and was always uncomfortable/disappointed with the world around him no matter who was in charge, which was a great way to subtly insert this kind of character. He happily sided with the Barbies to help take down the Kens, embracing all the pink and cheering alongside them when they won, while also looking very sad during the part where the Kens were realizing they failed. Just all of it screamed gender-non conforming to me. I've seen some interpretations saying Allan is a representation of a gay man (being more of a "Ken" presentation wise but finding more of a space among women and being deeply uncomfortable with patriarchy perpetuated by straight men) and some saying he's nonbinary (wanting to leave Barbieland behind and never being satisfied no matter who was in charge); either way, what they did with Allan was very cool and I'm glad some queerness, even if subtle and less prominent, was included in the movie)
-Similarly, Weird Barbie isn't getting nearly enough love. She was one of the most fun characters for me (Kate McKinnon magic, duh) and she like Allan could definitely represent someone out of the cishetero-normative/gender binary (I've seen people saying she's very queer-coded and it honestly makes sense, she tends to dress and act in more un-feminine ways which I think says butch lesbian but its up to interpretation) I am also very gay for her give her more attention cause she deserves it, seriously
-John Cena mermaid
-Simu Liu Ken constantly antagonizing Ryan Gosling Ken over Barbie's attention and being the better Ken within Barbieland is a metaphor for how patriarchy will put women against each other for the attention of men and make women fight each other too much to realize who the real enemy is
-Margot Robbie being acknowledged as "not the best to make this point about ugliness" was fantastic lmao, love the meta-narration
-The way Ken's story arc and the commentary around patriarchy with the incel-pipeline was very strong, and I respect Greta for critiquing it the way she did (I made a full post here )
-Ken and Ken should've kissed. Any of them. All of them.
-Barbie deciding to be human in the end despite her whole journey being about wanting to be a perfect Barbie doll again and her being terrified of flat feet and cellulite but then telling that old woman how beautiful she was and watching humans be normal and mimicking their expressions because even though its scary she wants to feel the way humans do because she sees the beauty in it and its a love letter to women and to people and the complexity of our messy species omfg I'm gonna cry other people said it better than me so go look at their stuff
-Barbie helping out Ken despite everything he'd done because she didn't want things to go back to how they were when Barbies ruled the world, she wanted something different, better, and she helped the person she had every right to want to hurt because we're supposed to be better than those who hurt us
~Criticisms~
-As an add-on to the caricature blurb, I felt a bit weird watching cause Greta's style recreated facets of misogyny as a caricature, so things like patriarchal brainwashing, sexual assault and other very harmful misogynist rhetoric were told in a slapstick way. I was uncomfortable throughout a lot of it, and I'm still deciding if I consider it a genuine criticism to have such matters told in this way or if its just personal preference; would like to know other thoughts if you're willing to share. Regardless, just be aware of it if that stuff's triggering to you so you're prepared for it
-Loved the emphasis on uplifting femininity in Barbie, and I understand the metaphor behind the change, but I can't help feel they pulled a Breakfast Club with Sasha going from her all black attire to suddenly very feminine and with makeup. Being gender non-conforming isn't just for queer people, lots of women are like this and it feels like media makes it seem like this kind of woman is impossible. Not all women wear makeup, not all women are feminine, and I would love for a more masculine/GNC woman character to be able to actually be that. I'll forgive it a bit since Barbies' styles kinda revolve around makeup, and Weird Barbie was consistently butch, just wish characters that are brought up with the prospect of gender-nonconformity could actually stay that way
~Final Thoughts~
Surprisingly good! Don't get me wrong, movies with this style can be good for sure but with the recent surge of mediocre movies I didn't have too much faith. However, I was very happy with how enjoyable and passionate it was. Highly recommend if you like caricature-type works, and/or want to get into some basic feminist ideology in a more fun way that's still very meaningful and heartfelt. Barbie is not just a feminist critique, but a love letter to women, girl hood, and the complexities of humans and how beautiful that can be <3

Good morning! I hope you slept well and feel rested? Currently sitting at my desk, in my study, attired only in my blue towelling robe, enjoying my first cuppa of the day.
Well, there was enormous excitement at Wesker Mansions yesterday! No, not that! Yesterday, The Trouble and I were both working from home and had a brief and casual conversation about lunch. I told her there was some bacon in the fridge that I wanted to grill. She suddenly became very animated! Is it my imagination or do people get very excited when talking about bacon? Somehow, it’s a sinful food, virtually a taboo food and, as I am half-Jewish, I shouldn’t even be talking about bacon! Anyway, The Trouble suddenly said, “Ooh, bacon and lettuce sandwiches!” “Okay,” I said, “I can sort that out.” So, just before 1.00, I began grilling bacon. To be honest, probably too much bacon, and I made a Caesar Salad to put in our sandwiches. Needless to say, during lunch, there was much moaning and groaning! No, not that! The Trouble was literally beaming from ear to ear. “I really enjoyed that!” she said. I’m glad I serve some kind of useful purpose!
Now, obviously, I have little love for Chelsea FC, and care little what happens to them, but the sacking of Thomas Tuchel was insanity! That is almost Watford-type knee-jerk behaviour! Christ, if West Ham had sacked David Moyes after a poor start to the season, he’d have been gone years ago! Chelsea are in the Champions League, for crying out loud! They are eating at the top table! Tuchel did that! If things aren’t going exactly the way you want them, you can’t just jack it in!
It made me think about the number of songs about not giving up. In fact, it’s a very popular theme within popular music. The concept of not being affected by disappointment and having the strength to carry on is a story that music lovers adore! People love the idea that they can overcome adversity. One of the biggest songs ever is Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’ and, in 1991, Sounds Of Blackness’s ‘Optimistic’ become an instant anthem. Rick Astley’s ‘Never Gonna Give You Up’ seems to be everywhere! In adverts, in TV shows, in movies! In fact, the list is endless: Queen‘s ‘We Are The Champions’, David Bowie and Queen’s ‘Under Pressure’, Journey’s ‘Don’t Stop Believin’’, Johnny Bristol’s ‘Hang On In There Baby’, Sharon Redd’s ‘Never Give You Up’, Peter Gabriel & Kate Bush’s ‘Don’t Give Up’, David Soul’s ‘Don’t Give Up On Us, Baby’, Billy Paul’s ‘Only The Strong Survive’, Shalamar’s ‘Second Time Around’, Dolly Parton’s ‘I Will Always Love You’, Chumbawumba’s ‘Tubthumping’, Destiny’s Child’s ‘Survivor’ and I’m sure you can think of many more. We love songs that can lift our spirits and fill us full of fresh hope.
Yesterday was a typical work at home day for me; I started work at 8.00 a.m., finished at 7.30 p.m., stopping for lunch, as I mentioned, and what a full-on and brilliant day it was. I don’t know how you work but I use the concentrate and distraction method; concentrate hard for 30 minutes, then five minutes of tidy the kitchen, concentrate hard for 30 minutes, then five minutes of empty the washing machine and hang out clothes, and so it goes round. Hour after hour. Well, it works for me.
The one thing I can’t get over, and it’s the same every day, I just can’t believe how dodgy Instagram is! Every day, it’s the same story. Another notification that someone has followed me. And these people just expect me to blindly follow them. Oh, no! Not anymore. Once bitten, twice shy. All these people that follow me, I look carefully at their profile. Nine times out of ten, no biog, no posts, no mutual friends, just some really dodgy bot trying to get into my world. And, if they do have a short biog, they’re either religious nuts or crypto disciples or adult industry models. Nasty little scam artists!
Have a throbbing and thrusting Thursday (with hopefully a few thrills through your thoroughfare?) I love you all.

911 5x04 "Home and Away"
youtube
If you know, you know
I'm going to preface this by saying that I watched this episode - this entire episode - at my desk at work in the presence of other people, and despite everything that happened in it, and my tendency to cry at the drop of a hat - I didn't shed one single tear. Not one.
I do, however, feel like bottling all of those emotions was a mistake as I have felt emotionally wrung out and drained all afternoon, so... yeah.
I actually feel like I need to rewatch parts of it? Because I was like, holding my breath the entire time and I feel like I missed stuff.
Thoughts:
Really glad Athena gave her house a deep clean ngl
Claudette can go fuck herself
I feel like I've met people like Claudette in my life and the fact that everyone just gives her a pass - and she says shady shit to Linda, like, "oh I lost a bet, I said you wouldn't last six months" fucking biiiiiiiiitttttccccchhhhhhhhhhh - is total bullshit
But I do remember the last time a long-term 911 employee gave the new kid grief (Gloria in Season 2 with Maddie) so... yeah, Claudette, YOUR TIME IS COMING biiiiiiittttcchhhh
Oh she just comes in and takes over and Josh is like "she doesn't have to wear a uniform" like BITCH PLEASE who do you think you are SIT DOWN
Ngl I find medic Eddie very competent and sexy and very attractive
I'm looking forward to this little different partners arc? Hen and Eddie work so well together that I can't see how they're going to have too many differences, unless Hen just gets tired of Eddie talking about Buck all day
This kind of a small moment but I love how when they're at the hospital Hen gives Eddie a little reassuring pat on the arm - like she's his big sister
I mean - I need you to understand - I watched the scene where Hen tells the parents that their daughter is actually the one who passed away in a room full of people and I didn't shed a single tear because I simply cannot be seen crying (again) in my office
But it fucking broke me
If was at home in a safe space, I would've been a disgusting sobbing mess
Am I going to watch it again now that I'm home? NO
When I said that I wanted Buck's pink sweater to return, I didn't mean under these circumstances
I meant, like, he wears it to Eddie's house and Eddie rips it off him in the throes of passion, obviously
I also never realised that Buck lived like right in the middle of a city
for some reason I always pictured like a squat apartment block thing surrounded by trees? what the fuck is wrong with me
Has he ALWAYS LIVED IN THE CITY
because i don't know man
i'm feeling like they've bamboozled me here
Chim and Maddie's storyline this season is... absolutely fucking gutting, but like - I was thinking about it all afternoon. Chimney's not mad at her, he didn't give up on their relationship, he's not blaming her - he just wants to help her and bring her home safely.
Chimney loves Maddie. Fuck, he loves her so much. 😭
And like... I love Buck, and I see where he's coming from, and he was doing what Maddie asked him to do, but... fuck me.
He should've told Chimney. Chimney is Maddie's partner - for all intents and purposes, they're married. They have a daughter together. Did Buck just not realise that Maddie has PPD? That she's not making rational decisions? I get that in her mind it's rational - she thinks she's a danger to Jee Yun - but she needs fucking help. I don't know why Buck didn't realise that?
That whole scene with him and Chimney in his apartment is totally gut-wrenching, because you can see Chimney realise that Maddie talked to Buck, you can see the betrayal - that he's been suffering for over a week and Buck just let it happen without telling him.
How could you stand by for a week and watch one of your closest friends, your brother-in-law, suffer like that? And blame himself for being caught up in the middle of an emergency and not be able to come home? Buck, my dude.
He really fucked up on this one. That whole scene is so fucking brutal.
Tumblr media
It's interesting how well Eddie knows Buck
He's the guy who tries to fix things, and this time, it didn't work...
But Eddie knows why he tried, and what his intentions were, and he's there for him when he needs support and reassurance. Eddie doesn't blame or berate him; he listens and understands and has his back.
Kind of interesting that Buck's girlfriend isn't anywhere around, I mean, idk.
It's interesting.
It's just very interesting.

Love Doesn’t Do Encores Ch13 Onto Hammerlocke- I Mean Stow-On-Side
The two of you left. Heading off down the trail Hop directed you before rushing off to take on Bede and spend some time in the Wild Area as planned. You hoped Victor would be able to keep him out of trouble and from fighting with Bede. As much as you wanted to stick together and were honestly curious to see how that battle would play out, you couldn't just let Gloria skidaddle off by herself and she was dead set on heading to Hammerlocke whether you liked it or not...Well not Hammerlocke exactly. She wanted to go to the town of Stow-On-Side, to challenge with Fighting Type Gym, Hammerlocke just happened to be along the way. A pit stop of sorts if you will. And when down to it you were pretty curious now yourself about this place. From what Gloria was babbling about happily about it, Hammerlocke wasn't only just home to the famous Dragon Gym Leader and his gym, but one of the main power plants in Galar owned by the Chairman himself. Hey. Sonia mentioned something about the Chairman having to do something with the power supply of Galar.
"So how will we know when we get there?," you asked after you two had crossed Motostoke's bridge.
"Oh. It'll be easy. It's not as big of a place as people think and not a lot of people live there since it's mostly just a single stadium and power plant run by the Chairman so not a lot of people go in and out either. Raihan's usually on long trips this early in the year since he never battles anyone who hasn't obtained everyone else's badge. But usually barely anyone gets to battle him because Kabu wittles most out and it usually takes a long time to get that amount anyways. Sooo...We actually might NOT see him there if he's out n' about," she explained. Which also had you sighing in relief, from what she mentioned before you were a bit iffy about being flirted with by a video game character even if he was a real person in whatever reality you were in right now. "In fact...the Chairman's pretty strict when it comes to who gets in too. Only gym challengers who collected at least three badges are allowed in to visit even."
You rose a brow. "So, in order to battle Raihan you need all the badges from the other gym leaders, but in order to actually get into the city you have to get three badges? Seems a bit stricter than needed."
She shrugged. "It's supposed to motivate us to work harder I think. But we don't have to worry! I already got three badges so they should let us in. We'll know it when we see the place since it looks a lot like a castle!"
A castle? Well then that should be easy to spot at least. You had no idea how long it actually took to get there but you both soon fell into that familiar pattern of walking all day, pitching the tent, sleeping, then putting the tent away, and continue walking of course. You lost count after the third or fourth day of doing it as by now it had become a rather used to routine of yours. And of course eating your fill of whatever bland tasting foods you both had packed unless you were lucky enough to stumble upon another berry tree that your drizzilie eagerly climbed up and ate from. You were glad despite it's evolution that it's hunger hadn't increased too much, usually it would much rather sleep away in your pack as your walked or watched the world slowly go by. Tell you one thing, your back and shoulders sure weren't enjoying the new found experience of walking with even more extra weight added to yourself. Your body was easily more tired and sore by the end of each day and your sleeping was more deep, luckily Gloria now didn't seem to mind waiting and letting you sleep in now. Every new morning you found her outside the tent intently looking around the dirt roads you were following and guessed that she must've been waiting for her brother and best friend to catch up as they promised they would. You two hadn't seen or heard any sign of them in the days you've been traveling but neither of you were worried too much. You had a feeling you'd see them again if the game's story was being played out like it was, but you couldn't shake the feeling in the back of your head that something was going to happen sometime soon. You just wished you could remember what it was. Along the way the two of you passed one or two small towns on your way there and had momentarily stopped to restock your food replies but didn't find any sign of the two boys or motels to stay at. So you two kept on walking and camping as you got closer and closer to Hammerlocke according to that rotom inside Glory's phone. And then you two FINALLY saw it on the horizon, right after you managed to walk past a couple of trees that blocked your view of it.
Gloria pointed excitedly. "LOOK!! THERE IT IS!!" You glanced where she was pointed and even you had to blink, from far away it DID kinda look like a castle with what you could make out from some high walls and a few towers from your spot far away. She quickly grabbed your hand and gave a tug as encouragement to keep going. "C'mon we're almost there! I wanna see if the boys are there."
You wasted no time in complying in her request, after all you wanted to get there too and rest your aching feet thanks to mister water balloon lounging on your back. You were ready to just rest up for a while, but you persisted in increasing your pace for Gloria's sake as she seemed to gain a new and excited spring in her step at the promise of meeting back up with her crew. Well you couldn't really blame her for wanting to see them again. You yourself were curious about what happened between now and when you all left Motostoke some days ago. It took maybe one or two hours of you two walking to finally reach the 'town', and you had to say....it looked more like a giant building as far as you were concerned. The whole thing was MASSIVE and made from black and dark grey stones, the entrance literally being carved to look like some kind of dragon you had to pass through to get into the inner city. Gotta say. You were a fan of the design. It breathed the kind of Place a Dragon Type Gym Leader would live and work. As you two got closer (and noticed just how big it all was) you noticed that some man wearing the same white uniform and sunglasses as any other Gym Leader employees was standing in the shade of the steps leading up to Motostoke. His gaze laser focused on the two of you as you approuched. Shouldering up his body and holding out a hand towards the both of you as Gloria made it first to the first two steps of the Hammerlocke entrance way.
"Excuse me," he asked, "Are either of you two Gym Challengers? Only challengers with three or more badges may enter Hammerlocke for the duration of the Gym Challenge."
"I am!," Gloria confirmed before slinging that big old brown backpack of hers off her shoulders and you both watched as she opened and rummaged around in it. Presumably to get her badges for the man.
"Ah, a gym challenger. Allow me to check your gym badges, please young lady." he held his hand out to her expectantly and after a moment Gloria held out her badge circle to him containing the three badges she won and placed onto it so far. The man took them from her and you two waited patiently as he hummed and brought it up to his face to carefully examine. "Let's see here. The grass badge, the water badge, and the fire badge." After a moment longer he nodded and handed the circle back to her. "It's confirmed that you've defeated three gym leaders including the leader of Motostoke no doubt. You may enter. I wish you the best of luck in your future battles, Miss."
"Thanks!" She quickly took it from him and stuffed the thing back into her pack as the man looked back up.
"Oh, it's you!," he said, "The boss told me you were coming in today but I wasn't expecting you so early this morning."
"Naturally." Gloria froze at the voice and you turned around at the familiar male sounding voice. And your eyes widened as Bede just casually strolled up to the steps as well, "I'm never late to any meeting with the Chairman or the like. He doesn't like to be kept waiting-" He paused. Lavender eyes going wide as soon as he saw you but then went into a scowl as soon as Gloria turned around to scowl at him. "Oh, it's you...."
"Yeah?," she asked daring him to answer, pushing the lid on her pack closed and slinging it back over her shoulders. "Surprised ya ain't all frazzled like lint from Hop's battle with ya."
He scoffed. "Oh yes. I almost forgotten about him. You see...I doubt Hop will be coming. It's only natural."
She paused and even you rose a brow as Bede reached into one of the giant pockets of his. "....What are you talking about?"
"Ha! After such a humiliating defeat, there's no way he could look the Champion in the eyes. Here just look at the gym badges I've already won." He held up his own badge circle with coincidentally the same badges as Gloria up to the man who nodded at him. "I'm sure he'll withdraw from the challenge."
"Thank you, Challenger Bede. I can confirm you have the required badges."
"Anyway," He put the badge circle back into his giant pocket, "I have a meeting with the Chairman so I must excuse myself-" Bede leaned back as Gloria suddenly leaned forward at him with a glare.
"WHAT. Did. You. DO?," she demanded.
He blinked at her before scowling himself and (seemingly able to grow a more resistance to her anger from last time) brushed himself off. "I didn't do anything to him. I just simply beat Hop after all that confidence he spewed back at Motostoke."
"Oh no no no no. You did something else didn't ya? What did ya say to him?"
"The truth. Nothing more, nothing less."
"Why I-"
Gloria was suddenly pulled back by you with a confused yelp and even Bede paused when you gave him a glare. The type that a mother would a scold a child with that every kid could relate to seeing one time or another. "Bede." He paused wide eyed at you. "Go on to the Chairman. You don't want to be late." Gloria looked up at you even more confused at your calm tone but Bede made no time to waste as he snapped his head from you and quickly sped walked the stairs as they both of you watched. After he disappeared from your view completely, you let Gloria go with a look. "Hey. Are you alright?"
After a moment she nodded. "Yeah. But what did ya do that for? I had him right there itchin' for a battle."
"Remember what Victor said. You can't just pick a fight with him especially if the Chairman's here. I already had to apologize to him, so let's keep things civil. Ok?"
She huffed. "He's the bloody one who started it."
"I know. But let's let it go for now. Besides, if Bede could catch up to us this fast from Motostoke that means the others could too right?" You saw her perk up immediately at the propsition and you smiled, nodding towards the entrance way. "Come on. Let's go have a look around and see what's going on?"
She quickly agreed and together you two entered the darkened tunnel beyond the stairs. At the other end of the short tunnel was light and as the two of you exited, you gaped up in aw at the side before you. Before you was the biggest stone structure you had ever seen!! Surrounded by two other stone structures that looked oddly like wings in a way. It certainly screamed castle by it's magnificence. Everywhere you looked was a few houses and buildings all made from the same black-dark grey stones with some painted a bright shimmering gold in some places that reflected the sunlight to make it gleam. The place had it's OWN TOWN INSIDE OF ITS OWN WALLS and A FREAKING DRAW BRIDGE!!
".....I thought you said this place was just a stadium and power plant," you said after a moment to take it all in.
"I....guess they must've expanded from when Lee told me about this place." She looked around. "Where should we look first?"
"The Pokemon Center," you said without hesitation, "It's been a while since you had your pokemon looked at right? Plus it's a nice place to start that has seats and ac."
Luckily she agreed and it wasn't too long to find either since the center was literally right next to the entrance. The boys weren't there but you got to rest your legs for at least twenty peaceful minutes of relief, and Gloria was able to get her pokemon checked over. And Drizzilie as well since after what happened in Motostoke, you wanted to make sure that your pokemon was doing fine considering it's change, but the Nurse Joy assured you that he was totally fine and that it was indeed just normal Drizzilie nature to act like this. Thank goodness. You two (more like three after your Drizzilie noticed and repeated patted your shoulder until you gave in-) also got drinks from the man who was selling berry juice and such behind his counter at the center, tasted sour but it was nice at least. After that Gloria suggested you both walk around the town a little bit to see if you could spot the two of them. You didn't have any better ideas so you figured why not. It couldn't hurt to look around. Starting as soon as you two left the center, you both headed towards the right side of the town. There was around what you could tell was maybe about a good twenty or thirty houses that looked like the regular kind of space someone would live in so it didn't take long for you two to comb the streets of them with no signs of the two in sight. There was also the train station and when you went up a different path on the right side of Hammerlocke it lead to a dead end with a single school building and a giant statue of a pokeball.
You sighed aching feeling starting to return in your feet. "Man. They aren't here either are! ...Makes sense since I don't think they'd go to this school."
"No," Gloria agreed but perked up seeing the giant bronze statue of the pokeball and walking up to it, "Buuuut I heard a legend about the Hammerlocke Statue. They say if you touch it you'll be able to catch pokemon better. Can't hurt ta give it a wack."
You chuckled. "Go for it. You wouldn't have anything to lose after all." You watched as she smiled and with a giant grin slapped her hand down on the statue as it gave a soft thud sound where her hand made contact- "AH!?" You suddenly lurched forward from the force of your Drizzilie as it gave out the loudest sound of terror you ever heard coming out of it even when it was a sobble and scramble to hide itself into your pack completely. You nearly fell onto your face stumbling but by some miracle didn't fall down...before snapping your head around to your shivering back pack. "HEY! Drizzilie what's the big deal?!"
...Gloria blinked. "What just happened?"
You shook your head. "The heck if I know. He acted like he saw a ghost or something-"
"H-Hello there," a weak voice called out. Gloria yelped and whirled around behind her at the sudden voice and you also looked. ...Brows suddenly widening in surprise as a little girl who couldn't have looked older than six, seven, or eight years old tops shyly came out from behind the statue with something in her hand. But it wasn't that that surprised you. She wore an old fashioned little girl's dress you'd expected a little girl back in the 1950's to wear and short black hair, but what really had you staring was her skin which looked ghastly pale against her bright dress and dark hair. With bags under her very tired looking eyes, as if she was sick with a fever. "You look like someone I might trust." Her voice although small typical for a girl her age, sounded lightly raspy, and weak. Matching her sick appearance.
The two of you exchanged a look for a moment before Gloria knelt down to get eye level with the tired looking girl. "Hey there wee las." She said with a soft voice. "Are ye lost? What do you need help with?" Silently, she held up the thing in her hand which you finally noticed was a letter. A very OLD looking letter as the paper looked yellowed and the wax seal on it looked about as brittle as sand. She looked at it for a moment before slowly taking it from her. "What's this?"
"You see, there's I fancy and I....I...I've written him a love letter."
"....Aw! Did ye now?" She smiled. "That's so bloody sweet of you."
The girl nodded. "Do you think you might deliver it for me?"
Gloria immediately nodded. "Of course I will!"
"Really? Oh thank you thank you!," the little girl smiled brightly despite her tired appearance, "I'm so glad I found someone like you to help me!"
"By the way," you asked looking around. You didn't see any grown ups around. Where were her parents?, "What's your name?"
"My name is Paula. Here you go! This is the letter I want you to deliver!" She pushed Gloria's hand holding the letter towards her and you thought you saw Gloria pause for a moment blinking..Before she slowly stood up and held out the letter to you to look at. "Deliver it to Frank, won't you? Frank lives in Bellonlea. That's who you want."
You both gave each other a look as Gloria spoke. "Bellonlea? That's a long way from here."
You nodded. "Hey Paula. Where's your pare-" You froze. Absolutely froze. And when Gloria looked too she blinked...Before looking around. ..And you whipped around yourself. Paula. Who had just been standing in front of you less than five seconds ago. WAS. GONE. There weren't any signs of her leaving and no footsteps you heard. Gloria event stopped to walk around the statue but came out the other side alone...and the both of you stared at one another. ".....Where did she go?"
Gloria shrugged. "I dunno man." Her foot tapped the spot where Paula was just standing. "She was literally standing right here a minute ago. Her touch was so cold. Did ya see her leave?"
"No. Did you?" She shook her head no again. Leaving the both of you standing there with nothing but the letter in Gloria's hand as proof of her even existing.....Until you pointed back the way you came. "Come on. Let's go check the other side of town for the guys." You said hoping to get away from the awkward tention.
You two quickly left the area with Gloria slipping the letter into her pack as you did, and off to the left side of the town you went. Passing the center as you did. There was at least another twenty-thirty houses, an antique store, a small gym, a barber shop, a cafe, and a clothes store like back in Postwick. But still no signs of the guys. And then there was something called 'The Vault' that was being guarded by some men but you two didn't pay it much mind in the end as you searched. But still no signs of Hop or Victor anywhere.
"UGH!! This is useless!," Gloria gripped her hat in frustration. "We've been wondering around lookin' for 'em ALL DAY! And still ain't no signs of 'em bloody anywhere!"
You nodded looking around. Your Drizzilie had resumed it's regular position after a while of hiding thank goodness it seemed to be ok. "Maybe they haven't gotten here yet? Hop did say he wanted to stay a few days in Motostoke and catch some pokemon. We shouldn't give up yet."
"Yeah I guess. But they should've been here if the mareep head is. I wonder if I should call 'em-"
"Pst! Hey you!" Both of you paused...Another voice?? This time male and sounded around Gloria's age- Gloria whipped around quickly in expectation but the teen you were both met with wasn't Victor or Hop. Or even Bede. It was a red headed boy in a red hoodie, black sweats, and blue shoes. "You heard the rumor?" He asked the both of you.
....You both looked at each other bewildered for a moment before you shrugged. "...No?" Gloria slowly looked back to the boy. "I haven't. What rumor?"
"What? You haven't heard!?," the boy asked surprised, "There's a rumor if you give the one you like an applin, you'll be together forever!"
".....OH!! That old wive's tale!"
"....Applin?", you asked.
"It's a pokemon. The story goes that the first Queen of Galar's favorite pokemon was an applin and so her fiance gave 'er one as a gift on their weddin' day. Since then it's been tradition ta give one to a person yer romantically interested in when ya confess your feelings. Hop told me that story once," Gloria explained and the boy nodded.
"Actually the truth is, there's someone I like," the boy confessed looking down and scuffing his shoe on the ground, "She's gonna move over seas pretty soon...I've been searching for an applin so I can get my feelings across the right way. But I can't find one."
"Huh. Fancy that. You're the second one today who's told us they wanted to confess their feelings ta someone," Gloria chuckled, "But whatcha stop me for?"
"Well i-it's not just you two,'' he confirmed holding up a hand, "I've asked anyone here if they have an applin they'd trade me with. If you've got an applin, would you please give it to me?"
....You shook your head. "Sorry. But I've only ever had one pokemon and you're looking at him." Your drizzilie yawned in response.
"Actually," the both of you looked to Gloria smiling, "I do have one. While we was checkin' out that daycare back in Turrfield I adopted one from one of the random abandoned rotomi boxes. I think it's still in my personal inventory."
The boy's eyes widened. "Whoa! You mean you'll really give me an applin?!"
Gloria nodded. "Sure I will if it helps out your lady love!" She giggled before jamming her thumb behind her. "But wait 'ere for a sec. I gotta go get it from the center."
The boy nodded urgently. "Yes! I-I will! Thank you! B-B-But hurry! S-She's leaving tomorrow and I-I asked her to meet me later today!"
Gloria nodded turning quickly. "Don't worry! Stay right here I'll be back as fast as I can!" And she took off...You blinked and quickly made to jog to catch up with her.
"Hey! Whoa! You're handing him your pokemon just like that?"
She nodded as you caught up with her. "Yeah! I can tell he was bein' honest with me. 'Sides he's nice. Nicer than that mareep head anyways."
You nodded. Couldn't really blame her opinion on Bed-..........De.......BEDE!! "He's the troubled one!" You suddenly shouted and stopped. You must've caught Gloria off guard because she stopped just a few yards ahead of you as you stared at nothing suddenly....THAT'S IT!! THAT'S THE PERSON WHO YOU HAD THE BAD FEELING ABOUT!! BEDE WAS THE RIVAL WHO'D GET THAT LIFE CHANGING CHARACTER DEVELOPEMENT MOMENT!! .....But what!? ....GAH!! You couldn't remember what happens to him in game!! Your hand smacked your face in a face palm and you groaned. "UUUUUUUUHHHHHHHH!!!! GREAT!! Just my luck too!"
"....Yeah he's the troubled one." You slowly peeked your f/c eyes between your fingers to look at the confused brunette. "But whatcha goin' on 'bout now??"
....You shook your head. "Nothing." And looked up with a steeled face. "But Gloria. I NEED you to do something for me. And I need you to promise me to do it no matter what!"
Gloria must've been taken a back a bit because her face went concerned before she slowly nodded. "....Ok? What's it ya want me to do?"
She blinked as you very seriously grabbed her shoulders, looked her in the eyes, and spoke in a serious tone. "Gloria...I NEED you to apologize to Bede the next time you see him."
Gloria froze for a moment. Drawing a complete blank as if her brain was processing what you said with a reboot. "..............WHAT!? Are you crazy!? ME!? Apologize to the wooloo for brains for what he did!?"
"No! Not apologize for what he did to YOU. But apologize for what you did to him." She rose a brow and you sighed. "Gloria. I need you to apologize to Bede for yelling at him. And for calling him names like Mareep Head. That doesn't excuse his behavior and it doesn't make what he did ok, but I think he's about to go through something and I think it'll be better if there wasn't so much tention between you two. And after you apologise you shouldn't call him 'mareep head' or 'wooloo for brains' any more." You couldn't exactly tell her your reason why but you REALLY had a feeling whatever was about to happen was going to be big for him. And it'd be so much better the less tention there was between the rivals. And...with Bede being endorsed by the Chairman and all it'd be better for both her and Hop if most of the tention stopped. "You don't HAVE to forgive or forget what he did, and you DONT have to put up with him. But.....I can't explain why. So please as a friend just do me this favor."
Gloria stared at you for the longest time......before she sighed. Smiled. And nodded happily. "Ok."
....
.......
..........What-
"WHAT?!" You blinked. Hands dropping to your sides as she chuckled at your smackgobbed face. "A-Again?? Just like that!? You'll apologize to him??"
She nodded with a determined smile. "Hey. Victor and you already said I shouldn't fight with the mar-...Bede anymore! If apologizin' is what it's gonna take then I can suck it up and do it. After all ya apologized for me, so I can apologize for you just this once."
.......You breathed a long sigh of relief, weight lifting from your shoulders. "Thank you! I owe you one."
She shook her head. "Nah. Let's call it even. Kay? C'mon. Let's get that mate an applin before his lady love shoves off for a different region all together."
You nodded and with new found relief off you went towards the center. It didn't take too long for the two of you to reach it and immediately enter. Once inside Gloria made her way over to the Rotomi machine thingy than reminded you of an ATM and as soon as she pressed a button, the robotic pokemon on top danced to life as she worked it. Feeling slightly exhausted, you looked up feeling a tap on your shoulder and when you looked your Drizzilie pointed towards the man selling juice again. Before looking at you in question. With a sigh you nodded and went towards the man who was of course happy to sell you another cup of juice for your pokemon. RIP the rest of your money. You only had a few coins left from the change back as you stuffed them back into your pocket with a sigh and the man handed your eager pokemon a cup of reddish juice. It quickly jugged down the entire thing within a few seconds before giving a pleased chirp sound. You chuckled and rolled your eyes. Well at least someone was happy-...You paused..Blinking and turning around as a blur of pink and white fluffy hair walked past the center's window...No. It couldn't be! It would've been too much of a coincidence if it was...But still. You quickly moved towards the door as Gloria curiously looked up from the machine after your retreating form as you stepped out of the center, and looked around. ..No sign of him-
"Mr. Chairman!" You blinked at the familiar voice...before peeking around the corner and low and behold there the white haired boy was! Walking towards...you frowned. Oleana and the chairman who was...wearing the same weird outfit you saw him wear in Hulbury. Seriously, what was with the polka dot shorts?? Bede walked right up to the two who looked at him. "I've been both collecting wishing stars and gym badges as fast as I can. "
"Good work, Bede." Oleana complimented crossing her arms. "I'm glad you haven't forgotten that it was the Chairman who endorsed you." You instantly frowned. What was the deal with this woman!?
"If I gather enough wishing stars that'll help solve the problem that's been bothering you, right Mr. Chairman?" Your brows rose. So that's why Bede was collecting lots of wishing stars!? The Chairman was using them for something!! ...But why would the Chairman of an entire region need wishing stars that just Dynamax pokemon??
"Oh it's not just about me," the chairman clarified, "It's for the future of the whole Galar Region. And we'll need more than just wishing stars. We need a powerful pokemon trainer, too. Someone like the Champion."
"With all due respect, Sir, I was able to show Hop, one of the champion endorsed trainers, just how outclassed he was." You frowned more. Ok. You could see how Gloria and Hop could get mad at him. "I'm sure I'll be able to defeat the Champion. No. I WILL defeat the Champion."
"That's the spirit! It takes healthy competition to really keep the Gym Challenge Energized!" .......He called THAT healthy competition!?!?
Unknownst to you, Gloria had come out of the center and spotted you after looking around a bit, poke ball in hand which must've been the applin for the boy she promised. She walked over to you before blinking and looking towards where you were looking at, and pausing a moment seeing the same trio you must have.
"Challenger Bede, there is something I wish to disscuss with you. Do you have a moment?," Oleana asked.
Bede nodded to her and she silently beckoned him to follow her as she turned and began walking off with him and the chairman- You jumped as a blur rushed past you and it took you a moment to realize that it was Gloria. And the brunette was barraling right towards the white haired boy as he walked after Oleana and the Chairman. ....!? OH NO!!! You opened your mouth to shout at her to wait and stop if she was going to fight but even if you did she wouldn't have heard you, and it was too late!
"WWWAAAAAAIIITT!!! BEDE!!," She shouted at the top of her lungs gaining the attention of both Bede, and Oleana and of course the Chairman as all three stopped to turn around and see who could've been the one who had called his name. "I HAVE TO TELL YA SOMETHIN' IMPORTANT!!"
Bede looked stunned to say the least blinking purple eyes wide as he took in the sight of Gloria racing right up to him, as the two adults behind him looked slightly surprised. Before he scowled at her. "YOU AGAIN!? I don't have time to deal with you! If it's a battle you want it'll have to wait after my business with Ms. Oleana and the Chairma-"
As he turned to go away, Gloria had straight up grabbed his hand which had the dynamax band on his wrist causing him to turn back around to face the heavily breathing brunette who gasped for breath stunnded. .....Oh no!! Blinking out of your stupor you began jogging your way towards them hoping to stop any misreadings on the situation before it got out of hand. In the mean time Bede had paused blankly, stunned....Looking between his hand and Gloria for a moment before frowning and tugging his hand only to find her tightly glued to it.
"I-....I h-have a c-c-confession ta make to ya!," she wheezed out between breaths staring at him pokeball in hand.
"Well whatever it is it can wait until I'm finished!," he stated firmly tugging on his hand. "Would you please mind letting go of my hand?"
She shook her head. "No! I've been meaning to do this the moment I realized I should've done it after our first encounter in the mines!" She said apologetically and it made you slow down as you got closer...OH!! She was going to apologize! But Bede looked at her confused. "Bede...I.." Her lips pursed for a moment as her face almost gave a cringe. Before slamming her eyes shut. Grit her teeth. And blurted it out. "I-I'm sorry! I called ya names n' yelled at ya!"
That made everyone quiet as they stared. You in relief. Bede stunned confusion. Oleana.....Oleana. And the chairman suddenly looking interested seeming to realize who it was talking to Bede.
".....I-...*ahem* Well..." Bede tried to straighten himself obviously not sure how to handle the closed eyed girl gripping his hand apologizing.
"I know, I know! But somethin' recently came up that made me realize I had ta do this n' if ya did beat some one fair and square then there ain't nothin' I could do about it...but believe me t-this is a lot harder for me to do ..c-c-confessing in all." You smiled. Good, good. This was going well.
....That was until she peeked an eye open to Bede's expression as he stared...Eyes darting around for any way to escape this. "I Uh..." He cleared is throat righting himself into that usually serious faced person. "Well then. It's seems you truly and finally came to your senses enough to realize I..." His eyes landed on the poke ball still clutched in her hand...and suddenly that calm face went suspicious. He glanced between her and the pokeball. Before using his free hand to point at it. "And WHAT is that your holding??"
She blinked holding it up with a shrug. "Nothin' really. Just a lil applin."
A smack sound was heard as you AND your Drizzilie utterly face palmed HARD with the reality hit before you. Bede went once again into that wide eyed shocked mode Jaw dropped. Behind him Oleana's face went slightly wide eyed in surprise, the Chairman looked totally taken by surprise too before hummed and grabbing his chin with a thoughtful expression.
Bede looked between her face and the pokeball so many times wide eyed and sputtering strange noises that sounded like words he was trying to form as she rose a brow confused. "....A-Are...." He looked at her suddenly in the eyes. "A-ARE YOU SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!?" His eyes narrowed. "Like...Y-You're not joking with me or m-m-making fun of me right now are you!? I-I have y-y-you know I don't appreciate being toyed with, Girl!!"
She scowled. "OF COURSE IM BEING SERIOUS RIGHT NOW!! Y'know how hard it was for me to make myself run up to ya and say all that! And for your intel fancy pants! It IS an applin! I wouldn't lie 'bout the pokemon I have! I was gonna give it away after the lil confessin' I forced myself ta do." You wanted to die from second hand embarrassment from her obliviousness to the situation she unknowingly put herself in.
Bede went wide eyed before his face turned about as pink as the coat he was wearing. He glanced a couple more times between her and the pokeball. ...Before in one swift movement he yanked his hand out of her grip and turned away head down and hands shoved into his pockets. "I....I-I....*AHEM*...I-I appreciate what you have decided to tell me...B-But I'll need time to think about if I accept such outlandish words from you or not...It...It might be best if we go our seperate ways for a while to let me think on t-that."
Gloria blinked at him still oblivious...before nodding proudly of herself and satisfied with the answer she got from the obviously flustered boy. "I'm glad we agree on that. I don't think I need ta say anymore to get my point across."
"A-A-AGREED!!" He looked desperately to the older woman. "M-Ms. Oleana you wanted to see me??"
Oleana looked to the Chairman who chuckled after a moment and nodded before Oleana turned around and Bede quickly followed after him as you dared continued to walk up to her. She smiled as she turned to you. "Well I think that went better than expected!"
You shook your head with a groan. "Actually I think it could've gone better."
Gloria rose a brow and was about to ask what you meant when the two of you were cut off by a chuckle of the chairman....Oh shoot! You forgot he was here. The man waved a hand casually. "Not too worry. Bede will be fine. But either way I hope you were listening, Gloria." She looked more confused at him. "As you know, wishing stars are those mysterious stones that are even attached to your Dynamax bands. There's more to wishing stars than just making your pokemon into giants though. They hold far more energy than that."
".....There is what?"
He chuckled. "If you're curious, then you should head to the stadium. In fact, we should head inside right away.I'll even give you a lesson on how the Galar Region gets it's energy." He nodded to you. "And of course your friend is more than welcome to join us like last time. I'm interested in getting your opinion." Ah nuts he DID remember you.
"Mm....Sure I guess."
"Excellent." He smiled turning. "You ladies follow me and Ill give you the tour." The two of you looked at each other before Gloria shrugged and began following him as you sighed. How did you get yourself into these things?? But you also followed him. Mr. Rose lead you all across the draw bridge that lead into the main castle which had a giant red and black stripped rug and was lit by actual torches. As you both took in the darkness and barely light around you, you followed the Chairman as he walked. You followed him until you all turned a corner and were surprised to find the entrance to the stadium!! Well it was closed off with a few people and security around, and to no one's surprise found Oleana plain faced waiting for the lot of you. "As you know, Hammerlocke's stadium doubles as an energy plant." The chairman continued walking up to Oleana and holding up a hand. Immediately she handed him a tablet that was in her hands. "Now have a look at my tablet. I've got all the information you need on it." He held it out to Gloria. She took it, looking confused at it for a moment, before tapping the screen and what you would best call a diagram and a friendly looking picture of Mr. Rose himself popped up. "See? An easy to understand description of the energy plant! First, energy is absorbed from Hammerlocke Stadium's tower. Then it's changed into electricity in the underground power plant and delivered to people throughout the region!" He went on to explain. "Our lives and society require various types of energy sources, such as electricity, natural gas, and water. My associate groups aim to improve everyone's lives by harnessing the power stored in wishing stars!"
Both of you looked up obviously surprised by what he said before Gloria glanced back to the tablet raising a brow before holding it back out to him. "But I thought only Professor Magnolia's Dynamax bands could harness the energy, wouldn't ye need 'er help??"
He took the tablet back before handing it to Oleana. "That's what Oleana and my team is for. I'm hoping Sonia would join us after her travels and research is finished."
"....Why are you telling us this?," you asked, "It sounds petty important. Wouldn't you want to keep that info to yourself?" It was also suspicious just telling you two but then again Bede did say more than once he was gathering wishing stars for the Chairman so maybe this was just you being too paranoid...But still that uneasy feeling you got when you were around these two were back.
The chairman paused as if sensing your feelings before smiling. "Experiments with Wishing Stars is nothing new. Professor Magnolia has done it for years and look what she created! Other scientists are currently studying their properties other than just us, and I believe Sonia is looking into the history of the origin of their power. So it's not really private knowledge." ....You...guessed that made sense. "Besides. If Bede's going to become the next Champion perhaps having any strong trainers by his side might be beneficial to our cause." And that bad feeling doubled! Oleana leaned over to whisper something to him and he hummed. "...Oh. It's time for me to get to work. I should get a move on before Oleana decides to give me another earful." He chuckled. "Gloria, I suggest you head over to the vault next. Just head toward Route Six from the stadium and you should find the vault without any issues. If you ladies would excuse us. It was nice to see you both again." With that they turned and you both watched as they walked towards a guarded elevator and went right in.
When the doors closed behind them Gloria turned a brow to you. "Well that was weird ain't it?"
"Good riddance I say." You turned to her after a moment and pointed to her pokeball. "Hey. Weren't you supposed to give that to the guy?"
She hummed looking to her pokeball then jumped. "OH GOSH I FORGOT!!" She twisted on her heel and made a break for it. "C'mon Y/n! We got no time ta lose!"
You sighed but complied by turning and jogging off after her. It was going to be a long day you could tell. But still you two made a promise and you were going to keep it. And that's exactly what Gloria did. You were more tired than her jogging around and carrying more weight, so it would make sense by the time you caught up with her you were wheezing for breath and had a back as sore as it could get, doubling over and hands on your knees a few yards away from Gloria who offered the wide eyed teen the poke ball with a smile breathing heavily herself.
"S-Sorry it took so long, mate!" She handed it into his awaiting hands. "O-One applin as promised!"
"YES!!" He held the ball into the air. "WOW! I did it! I finally got an applin! Thank you! Thank you so much! Since you went through the trouble of giving me an applin I've got to tell her how I feel!"
Gloria nodded. "When is she coming anyways?"
The boy went to speak, but suddenly stopped wide eyed. Fumbling with the ball for a second and looking past Gloria who turned her head behind her as another teen girl with darker brown hair in a ponytail and a yellow shirt approuched with a smile. "O-Oh! Geez!! T-T-That's her now!!".....Gloria whistled turning on her heel and walked aways from the boy to you as she came over. Smooth. Too bad she wasn't that smooth when apologizing.
Nervous the boy rubbed his head as the girl walked right up to him. "Sorry I'm late" she apologized. "What was it that you needed to talk about so suddenly?"
He sputtered. "I....Er....H-How's your packing going?" You facepalmed for the third time that day.
"Pretty much everything's been packed. Since I'm moving away tomorrow."
"Yeah," he agreed with a sad look in his eyes before taking a deep breath, "H-Hey! Check out this pokemon here!" He stated holding the pokemon out to her.
Blinking she looked at the pokeball then to him before slowly accepting and holding his ball curiously. "..What is it?"
"It's uh!.." He looked down and rubbed his next. "A-A-An applin." She blinked up surprise suddenly gracing her features. "F-For you."
"Oh. An applin?" He nodded and she looked back to the ball for a moment silence falling over them. It continued on for so long you and Gloria exchanged a slightly worried glance feeling awkward watching the seen. Luckily the girl smiled before looking back to her blue eyed friend. "Amazing. Did you catch it?"
The blinked surprised by her reaction before he looked embarrased and shook his head no. "W-Well...N-No. Someone gave it to me. B-B-But NOT romantically gave it too me!" He clarified holding up his hands. "I-I traded for it! I-I..." He slumped arms to his sides. "I'm sorry. I really wanted to give you an applin that I caught on my own. But well...Ah just forget it. I can't give you this applin." WHAT!?
"You're right. I can't take it," she agreed handing it back to him. Double WHAT!?
"Yeah.."
"Even if we're separated and far away from each other, I'll still be waiting for an applin you caught yourself." She giggled at his sudden dumbfounded expression.
"W-Wait. Do you mean-?" He was quickly shut up when she out of no where kissed his cheek, and Gloria chuckled as his expression went as pink as Bede's coat.
"Ah! Um...I'll uh-....I'll see you later!," she said just as flustered and pink faced before she quickly turned on her heel and lightly squealing with joy ran off. Leaving the boy wide eyed and jaw dropped and you two as witnesses.
Gloria snorted and you gave a tap to her shoulder to get her to stop. The boy after a moment picked his jaw up off the ground and turned to you. "Say. W-What do you think that was about just now? D-D-Do you think it meant that-?"
"That she likes you back?," Gloria asked before nodding. "Sure does pal. Good on you!"
He chuckled nervously. "T-Thank you? Wait! Does that mean what I think i-i-it means!?" She nodded again at his wide eyed face. "Really, really!? I can't believe it!" He threw his hands up. "WOO HOO!! ...Ah...Sorry. I just never thought that we both felt the same way."
"Oh don't worry. I'm used to seeing that by now," you clarified.
"Right. Well, I'd better give this pokemon back to you." He handed Gloria back her pokeball and before reaching into his jacket pocket and pulling out something. "Here. Take this, too. Think of it as a reward for helping me take that first step." It looked to you two like some kind of coupons but you weren't sure. "I'm going to catch an applin myself! And then someday, I'm going to go giver her that applin. ...YEAH! I b-better get searching for an applin!" He turned with an extra bright smile on that face of his. "Thanks again, Mate! See ya!"
"Good luck!," Gloria called after him waving.
"Well...Today's been an exciting one," you stated stretching you back hissing as you did. "Looking around the castle town, seeing the chairman and his weird secretary, ...I guess technically apologizing to Bede, getting a letter from a mysterious girl, and helping someone confess their love. I think we've had enough excitement for one day. Does this place have an inn or a hotel we can stay at?"
"I didn't see one when we looked around."
"Camping doesn't sound too bad," a voice said with a chuckle.
"Yeah that does sound-"....You looked behind you and nearly had a heart attack when you came face to face with Leon himself! Jumping back and clutching your chest where your heart was as he gave a few laughs! "CHEESE AND RICE DONT DO THAT!!" You shouted your drizzilie chirped annoyed at him.
He chuckled a little more as you pouted at him and he shurgged. "Sorry. I couldn't help myself! I saw you just standing there and thought I should come up and say hi since it's been a while." Before you could say anything in response to that he was distracted by a happy squeal and turned to Gloria.
"LEON!!," she shouted jumping up to hug onto him.
With a laugh and smile he twirled around once cape flowing with her before planting her back down on her feet...And you couldn't help but shake your head with a smile. "Hey! Look at you, Gloria! You've groan exactly half an inch since I last saw you!" He fondly ruffled the giggling gal's hair. "Seems you're doing well collecting gym badges. I saw your recording of battling Kabu and I gotta say I'm so proud of you guys for making it this far!"
She beamed smiling wider than you had ever seen her before. "You are!? Aw. It was nothin'! Hop won his before I even did. He's the real one you should be proud of."
He nodded with a hum and you watched as he rubbed his neck like Hop. Family habit you supposed. "I am proud of him too! But Hop..." He suddenly looked down. "Gloria did something happen with him?" She blinked surprised. "He was acting really odd when I ran into him. He took one look at me and immediately was like "I'm so sorry, Lee!" It might be the first time I've heard him apologize for anything, and I have no idea what it was for. Maybe he's feeling down because he's had some losses in battle?"
"OH I KNEW IT!!" Both of you blinked to Gloria who scowled and huffed. "He lost to that challenger Bede! He was making fun of us and you and bein' a real pain in the tush!"
Leon stared at her for a moment before humming and catching her attention. "Well that would explain it. But he's got to learn sometime."
She blinked. "Whaddya mean?"
"Well...When you lose, you feel down in the dumps. But then there's no where left to go but back up! You've got to think on why it was you lost, though," he explained to her as she blinked.
"But...he lost before to Nessa and he didn't act like that when he did."
"Ah. I see. Well sometimes the reaction can depend on the person who you lose too. You said he made fun of you and me?" She nodded as he gave a thoughtful face. "I see. Well then if that happened he might be taking it a bit more personally. But we all have to handle people who don't like us on our journies. The important thing is to know that their words don't mean anything." He smiled. "Everyone's amazing in their own way, and someone else's hateful words shouldn't affect how you grow. So don't worry about him. You know that little brother of mine. I think he might yet become a surprisingly great trainer!"
Wise words. Wise words that seemed to get to Gloria as she nodded, "Yeah...Yeah you're right!" She smiled. "Hop's too smart to let that get him down anyways! He'll make it to the top guarenteed!"
"That's the spirit! Blast! And look at the time!" He scanned the sun real quick before groaning. "Nearly forgot my meeting with the Chairman! That Oleana lets me hear it when I'm late! Now only if I can remember which way to go-"
"They're at his power plant." Leon turned to you in question and you pointed back up the way you came. "Go that way to the pokemon center, you can't miss the thing it's the only thing here that's bright pink. Then turn left and he's inside his power plant last time we saw 'em."
He blinked before smiling brightly at you. "Hey thanks, Y/n. It was really good seeing you again. And seeing how that sobble of yours grew." He patted Gloria who smiled at him in return. "And it was so good seeing you too. You're doing a great job so far! Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Anyways, I'd say that you should go and say hello to Raihan while you're here, Gloria!"
You paused and Gloria's eyes widened in wonder. "HE'S HERE!?"
He laughed again and nodded behind him. "Yeah! In fact he was my ride back here. He's the greatest rival I've got and the final hurdle you'll have to face in the Gym Challenge. Besides me of course. He should be still at the vault if you hurry. It's down that way." He pointed directly behind him. "On the way to Route Six...At least I think that's where it is. I'm not too good with directions."
"OMG!! IT'S THE CHAMPION!!"
Leon suddenly looked behind him as a small group had already gathered. "Uh oh! I-I'll see you later girls!" With a final pat to Gloria's head he RAN!! And the crowd gave chase. "S-Say Hi to Hop for me when you see him again!"
In a moment you quickly grabbed Gloria and yanked her out of the way of the stampeding twelve people's way as the crowd gave chase after the running champion and you both watched as they passed you. "GEEZ!! Does that happen to him all the time?"
Gloria nodded grabbing your arm. "Way more times than I can remember. But come on!" With a smile she tugged you forward in the direction Leon pointed. "I've never met Raihan before! And even the Chairman said I should visit the vault!"
"Hey, hey, hey! Whoa there! I thought we agreed to find somewhere to rest for the night."
"But Y/n!!," she whined tugging you again sad frown on her face, "I'm curiously about what this vault is now! So we gotta check it out! And plus! This might be my only chance of meeting Raihan casually without havin' the stress of a battle on my shoulders! If he's as amazin' as Lee says then I gotta at least say Hi!"
Your frowned back. "Yeah. I'm kinda iffy about the whole flirting with me part! I've never been hit on before."
She looked surprised for a moment. "Really? But you're so pretty! That's hard ta believe."
"Thank you. I'm glad you think that but that's not the point. The point is I don't feel like getting hit on by a guy who takes selfies and by the looks of it is abnoxious!," You insisted. Plus he was in your dream too and you'd rather avoid anymore interaction with anyone from your dream outside Leon who was genuinely nice. You were getting flirty bad boy vibes by what you've heard and seen and that was not your ideal type of guy in mind.
"PLEEEEEAAAASSSSEE!?," she begged you tugging on your arm. "Please please please! I promise It'll be the only favor I ask ya! Please won't ya do it just this one time!!"
You groaned throwing your head back. Knowing her she wouldn't budge til she got what she was after. "....Fine! But at the first sign of trouble we're outta there!"
Immediately her face lit up and she squealed happily like any teen you knew from back home meeting a boy band they loved. "YES!! Thank you thank you thank you! You won't regret it I promise!!"
"We'll have to see about that," You mumbled but let her tug you along with a newfound skip in her happy step as you went. You were right. This was definately gonna be a LONG day!
You let her drag your already annoyed and sore self towards the way Leon had pointed out to you past the barber shop you two had passed by earlier and onto another draw bridge as you came across it. Brow raised as you passed by a second pokemon center, did this place really need two of them?? And past a few people as you went. At one point you duo passed a group of about four woman who were excitedly chattering at a blushing girl in the center who held a piece of paper in her hands red faced embarrassed as a person could guess....You had a scary sinking feeling you knew where they had just come from. And an even more scarier feeling when you found out you weren't wrong. Because all of a sudden Gloria stopped, making you bump into her, gasped wide eyed like she had just seen a ghost, grabbed your arm tighter, and pointed with the other hand in front of you both! Blinking you looked up...and suddenly wanted to curl up into a whole and never come back out. There he was. The third person from your dream. the undenyable orange badanna dragom gym leader of Hammerlocke himself, Raihan. He looked...Bored. Leaning up against two double doors, which you had guessed was the vault, and lazily scolling through his phone....But perked up when he felt eyes on him and glanced over in your direction. As soon as he made eye contact with you he smiled. AH HECK NO!! You turned to leave but there was a problem as Gloria still had a good grip on your arm so you yelped in panic when she went forward with a happy smile on her face, and Raihan leaned himself off the wall as you approuched. OH FRICK OH FRICK OH SWEEET BABY SOBBLES!!
"Oh. Hey there, Ladies!," he greeted a fanged smile sent your guys' way when Gloria dragged your wincing form right up to him. "Nice day for a walk. If it isn't the trainer endorsed by the champion. Let's see...What's your name again?" He hummed for a moment eye brow perked up in thought at the excited girl standing before him before snapping his fingers and pointing at her. "Ah right! Gloria! And if Leon himself recognized your potential then I guess you'll grow into quite the trainer."
You rose a brow. ...Well that polite compliment wasn't what you expected at first. But Gloria gasped finally letting go of your arm. "You know who I am!?"
He laughed this time. But not in a mean way, more of an amuzed way. "Are you kidding? All Leon ever talks about is you and your brother and Hop! And how amazing you kids are. All the same though, anyone wanting to challenge the mighty Raihan has to prove they're up to it by earning seven gym badges first."
...She blinked. "Oh uh..." Embarrassed she kicked her foot against the ground. "A-Actually I-I'm not here to challenge ya. I just wanted to m-meet ya in person and c-check out the vault of course!!"
"Ah so you're here to see our treasures are you?" Gloria nodded to him. "Gaining a better understanding of pokemon by studying history certainly isn't a bad idea." Your brows raised even more in surprise. "I like your spirit, Kid!" He nodded towards the doors laying a hand on them. "Follow me why don't you?" With a single push from his hands they opened and he went inside, well Gloria excitedly went in right after him and by default you too. Hey. He hadn't said a single flirty word. Maybe this would be tolerable. " The room he walked into was...Honestly very plain looking. There was two giant shelves covered in trophier, a few seats leaned against one corner, a staircase leading elsewhere, A woman manning a counter, and some kind of symbol plastored on the wall. Blinking back up when Gloria gasped. "I'll even spare you one of my league cards. Signed of course as for any fan." Now you realized why she gasped. He had just handed her one of his league cards and was smiling brightly at him which made him chuckle before lazily pointing up the staircase. "Now on you go. If it's the vault you want it's up those stairs there."
Gloria blinked for a moment looking towards the stairs then back to Raihan and smiled. "H-Hey Thanks!" Before turning and slowly walking her way towards the stairs, card in hand.
You sighed in relief. Thank goodness he kept it casual. You didn't know how you'd react if-
"And I didn't know Lee had such cute friends.~" Your eyes must've looked like those funny googily eyed stickers you'd buy from the store by how wide they looked when you snapped to him. And this guy just stared calmly with a polite smile...And. WINKED!! At you!
You stood there for a moment before your Drizzilie gave a loud warning chirp in his direction to which Raihan blinked at. Gave you enough time in his moment of confusion to BOLT your way to the stairs weight and aching pain be darned and scrambled after Gloria a weird feeling coming over you. "Remind me to give you a big dinner later as a thanks!" Your pokemon thrummed in approval and you made your way and into the..outside?? What the? You slowed down your pace as you got higher and higher. And dared to look down which was a HUGE mistake because you instantly felt a twisting feeling in your gut realizing how HIGH you were off the ground and without safety bars from just one flight of stairs alone. Swallowing the lump in your throat, you dared to continue up the stone steps towards a door at the top.
"Whatever happened to the sword and shield that drove off the disaster?"
You rose a brow as you walked forward more towards the familiar sounding female voice all the way towards the open door...No there's no way SHE would be here too! But alas when you walked right in. Your eyes widened. The room was MASSIVE!! High brick walls, giant windows, and four giant tapestries lined the front walls. One depicting two men under a light, the next the two men by what looked like a storm(??), the third them, the storm, and a sword and shield in the sky, and the last one of the two men as kings. Not sure what story it told but it looked heroic as in a fairytale. As your eyes trailed down to two women in the room one was obviously Gloria who was chatting with Sonia and the other. Was obviously...Sonia. You blinked wide eyed at the lady but was relieved to see her as you stepped in with a smile.
"Hey, Sonia!," You called out.
said red head looked at you and smiled as you walked over to her. "Hey! Y/n, I thought you couldn't be too far behind if Gloria was here." She paused seeing the little hitch hiker leaning on your shoulder that was your Drizzilie, as she pointed at him. "Hey. Is that who I think it is?"
You smiled and nodded. "Yep. Apparently he was closer to evolving that you guys thought. He ended up doing that when Gloria borrowed him for a battle. Still hungry as a snorlax tho." Drizzilie shot you a pouty look and you three girls ended up chuckling at his reaction. "Anyways what are you doing here? I thought you came here right after that dinner in Hulbury."
She waved a hand. "Well, yeah that was the plan at first, but I ended up staying with Nessa a bit to catch up and have some time with my friends." She sighed. "It's been so long since I saw them all. It was good catching up with her and everyone else again revisting our favorite spots. I lost track of time and ended up catching a ride with Lee and Raihan back here to see the vault." She turned back to the tapestries and you glanced up as she looked. "I-....Think I'm getting closer to solving the mystery behind the dynamaz origin but...the same thing happened to everyone else that researched this far into the story before giving up. Still too much mystery and not enough answers to fill in the blanks I'm afraid."
You nodded glancing up at the old things. "Yeah I get you. I'm trying to solve a mystery of my own too in a way." A mystery of how to get back home and helping Gloria finish the game's story plot was the one but you weren't about to admit that!
She looked at you. "Oh yeah? What kind of mystery?"
"The mystery of how long it takes before that guy down stairs decides to put the moves on me. Maybe he's like an an- uh pokemon and you have to play dead." She rose a brow. "Y'know that one saying. You have to play dead or else they'll pounce on anything that moves."
"PFFFT!!" Sonia Snorted. Snorted!! Before her hands flew up to cover her mouth as laughter shook her form and Gloria looked up from her phone confused. "I-I-I...Oh gosh! Ahaha! I-I g-guess you met Raihan??" She asked between small giggles.
"Met him!? I thought the guy was gonna try to make me a side dish for his next curry by how he looks at you! Does he flirt with everyone?"
Sonia giggled a bit more before shaking her head. "No! That's just how h-he is. He really is a sweet and caring guy once you get to meet the real him honest."
"Told ya," Gloria confirmed.
"Well I don't think I wanna be the 'princess' who gets kidnapped by the 'dragon' thank you. Hopefully he'll be too busy taking selfies when we go back to go Y/n hunting." That got Sonia chuckling again.
"I hear you, I was that way when I first met him too. I hope you find what you're looking for." She turned back to the tapetries. "I'm going to stay here and try to study these a little more."
You were not that lucky. Because as soon as you two descended the stairs and got back down to the ground floor, Raihan was still there ever present seeming to wait for you. Doesn't a famous Gym leader have OTHER things to do-....Oh right. Gloria said he usually had a lot of time on his hands this early into the challenge. You wanted to face palm yourself hard for forgetting so easily like that. Raihan however just smiled at you two and looked to Gloria.
"Well that was quicker than I thought it'd be?," he chuckled," Was the famous Hammerlocke vault to your satisfaction Lil miss?"
Gloria instantly nodded. "Yes! The tapestries are beautiful!"
He nodded in agreement. "And really old too. The tapestries in the vault depict the heroes of the Galar Region's past. I suppose if we've got any modern hero I'd have to be our Champion Leon." He hummed looking Gloria over a moment and you rose a brow at him. "...Hey. You want some advice from a Gym leader who's fought Leon for the Champion title lots of times?" Of course she nodded excitedly. "Then listen up, Gloria. Your goal is to defeat that superstar Leon. So go to Route Six and train yourself up along the way to Stow-on-Side. Bea's the fighting type gym leader, so the best way to beat her is to think like a fighting type trainer would. Train hard and I know you'll be able to do it!"
With a fist pump the brunette nodded. "Right! I won't let ya down Sir!"
He chuckled. "Now I see why Lee likes you so much. Ah. That reminds me." He turned to the door and pointed. "There was this lil man that looked a lot like you looking for you outside there. Maybe you know him?"
In an instant the girl snapped to the door, gasped, and ran off. "VICTOR!!" The doors slamming open as she flew through them with the speed and strength of a wild bull.
He laughed. "Ah. That kid has some spunk. I look forward to battling her soon." He then turned to you as you paused. "Anyways. I don't think I got your name Miss??"
"Y/n." you stated flatly, "And thank you for the compliments-"
"Ah thank nothing of it." He flashed a fanged grin at you, "I know how it can be sometime meeting me n' all that but it really is no big deal-"
"Oh you're right about that." He paused stopping, blinking wide eyed at your deadpanned face mouth agape in a smile as he processed what you had bluntly but politely stated. "You do seem REALLY nice and I really appreciate all the nice things you said to me and Gloria, but I'll have to stop you right there with the flirting, Mr. Raihan. No offense to you of course, and I don't mean anything by it." You turned giving the frozen gym leader one last look before you left. "You just aren't my type. I'm sure you'll find a nice person soon tho with your looks and charms. Have a nice day."
And you left, leaving the wide eyed Dragon Type Gym Leader standing there jaw dropped and the secretary at the desk who also looked shell shocked at what she had just witnessed. ....Raihan's rotom gave a loud pokemon sound of alarm when Raihan dropped his phone with a thud onto the floor. Meanwhile you had just gotten outside the vault and with a sigh looked around. Relieved THAT was over and done with. As you scanned you heard someone call your name and when you looked, saw none other than Victor waving an arm towards you. Smiling you happily made your way over to the equally smiling brunette boy.
"Hey! There you are! We've been running all over the place trying to find the two of you! And judging by the sun..We've been doing it all day too. Where were you guys??"
He sighed shaking his head. "It's...complicated, Y/n. We got here a little while ago, but we aren't staying. We're taking the night train tonight to Stow-on-Side."
You blinked. "Wow. Again? I'm gonna be up all day and night then-"
"No." He cut you off and made you pause, "Not all of us." He clarfied frowning and looking down. "Just me and Hop. He...has some things he wants to sort out."
"Sort out? What do you-" You looked around more. "Where is he?"
He pointed behind him down the ways towards Route Six. "Down that way. Gloria took off after him but I wanted to make sure she didn't forget you or anything."
You nodded patting his shoulder before beginning to walk off in the direction he pointed out with a feeling you knew exactly what this was about. Victor followed behind as you picked up your pace looking around for those two crazy kids-
"Then there's no point in us stickin' around!," A loud male voice cried out somewhere ahead....Both you two exchanged looks for a moment before picking up your pace and rushing forward, going around the corner and finding out exactly where the loud yell was coming from. You found Gloria and Hop alright. With their wooloo and raboot out and two of those weird Team Yell guys standing there by some snake looking pokemon. The man was the one who was yelling tho. "Let's get out of here! We'll make these bothersome kids holler some other day!" Was that a threat!? In an instant you began walking towards them again as the two make up caked clowns turned and ran off.
"Gloria..." Hop began turning and giving his friend a sad smile. "You and raboot were brilliant together!"
Gloria smiled holding up her pokeball to return said raboot. "Thanks! Wooloo n' ye have really gotten stronger since the last time I saw ya! Guess ya can say 'Woo hoo' to match your wooloo!" She giggled at her own terrible pun but....when Hop remained silent her giggles slowly faded as she looked at him...and she blinked. Uh oh. This couldn't have been a good sign. "Hop?" She questioned reaching a hand half way to him....He shook his head no looking down. "H-Hey. What's wrong?"
He remained silent for a moment. ".........Gloria." He began. "See..Bede really wiped the floor with me last time we battled." Oh boy you KNEW it would have something to do with that. "And don't get me wrong. I can take a loss. Battling means you've got to lose sometimes. ....But he said that I was dragging Lee's good name through the mud being so rubbish like I was..." WHAT!?
"WHAT!?," Gloria yelled out shocked. "HOP! That's not true! You've won every at every gym we've been too so far! Twice even before me. How does that make you any weaker than I am?"
"I know that!" He clenched his hands into fists at his side not looking up. "And I know what you said is true but ...I can't just let myself let my guard down and not improve. And I just can't get those words out of my head! If I'm weak, then people'll think Lee's weak too! But I don't want that! I can't let Lee get dragged down! He's the unbeatable Champion! I'm gonna have to take some time figuring this out.....I-I...Im sorry- AH!?" He blinked frozen as Gloria suddenly enveloped him in a hug...before his face broke up in bright pink from it...and he slowly hugged his friend back.
"Hop...You're NOT weak," she mumbled against where she hugged him, "You're smarter and stronger than ya think. And I don't want you givin' up."
"Heh. Who said I was giving up?," he asked with a chuckle, "If I just gave up now that would just prove Bede's point. And I came too far now to stop. I made a promise to you I'd battle you in the finals and I aim to keep that promise! This isn't me quitting, Glory. Just taking some time away to improve on some of my skills. That's all." She blinked as he pushed her away and gave her that bright smile of his. "If I'm going to beat you, then I need to prove that I'm a worthy rival. Alright?" ...She nodded eventually with a smile.
"Besides." Both of them snapped towards the two of you as you approuched. "If you ever really want to talk with us, you can call me or Hop on your Rotom phone at any time." Victor rose a brow as he crossed his arms and eyed where Hop was gently holding his sister's arms. "...Did I miss something?"
Hop blinked before instantly letting go beat red with a cough. "HEY! When did you-...*AHEM*" He rubbed his neck. "I-I was just saying see you around, Gloria!"
Victor hummed like he really believed him. "Rrrriiiiiggght. Anyways, Hop. It's getting close to sun down. If we wanna catch the night train out of Hammerlocke we should go now and wait at the station."
"UH!! R-Right!" He cleared his throat and turned to Gloria. "I-...I-I'll see you later, Glory. You can b-bet on that." Before quickly walking away past the both of you. "H-Hi Y/n. Nice seeing you again!"
Victor sighed and turned to follow. "Yeah. It was good seeing the two of you again. Don't forget. You have our Numbers, Gloria." He pointed back at her as he walked away. "Stay out of trouble! You hear?! And be prepared!"
"I know how to stay out of trouble ya loon!," she yelled back at him.
"Could've fooled me!"
Gloria stuck her tongue out at his retreating form and you chuckled. "What a loon. He's more chatty than a herd of hungry wooloo."
You shrugged. "I guess so..." You frowned a bit. "But on a serious note, are you ok?"
After a moment staring at where the two boys disappeared she sighed and nodded. "Yeah. Yeah I'm ok. There ain't really nothin' I can do about this anywho."
You suddenly had a guilty feeling come over you. "Hey...A-About what I had you do earlier with apologizing to Bede. I'm really sorry about that-"
She held up a hand to you and shook her head. "No." Her face a determined frown. "Nah you n' Victor were right. And so was Lee. I shouldn't make any trouble for myself by just pickin' fights. And Lee was right about there bein' people like Bede anyways. But I ain't gonna let his words get ta me. And I know Hop."...She smiled. "I cant explain it as anything but a friend's intution, but I know he'll be alright. He's too smart to let Bede keep 'em down for long. And Victor's with him. So I know he'll help him too."
You nodded smiling. Of course you knew Hop would be ok as well. "That's right. But hey. Victor told me they were heading to Stow-on-Side. We were heading there anyways, and there's some day light left. Why don't we drop by Hammerlocke Cafe for a quick dinner and start heading out before night fall?"
With a determined smile Gloria Nodded and pointed up. "Perfect idea! Let's eat! Then it's onto Stow-on-Side!!"

I've kinda had this thought in my mind for a while fjdjjsj, but could you write about the reader being a Taylor swift fan but they kinda feel like they should keep on the down low and then jake finding out about it and how that might play out O_O
this is the absolute fucking STORY OF MY LIFE???? like i spend most days thinking goddamn, the things i’d let jake gyllenhaal do to me and then i play one of my all-time favorite albums ever, red, and taylor’s lyricism is a nice warning and entryway back into reality dshdfskd
you’d definitely keep the extent of how much you like her to yourself — i mean, c’mon, life is too short to not like taylor swift (or, at the very least, avoid her discography and act like it’s all bad)
you wouldn’t bring her up because bringing up the exes is a no-no and it’s always interesting terrain whenever you’re in the car or the grocery store and a taylor song comes on the radio
i feel like jake isn’t the type to harbor ill will towards someone he literally hasn’t spoken to in ages so he doesn’t really have any kind of reaction when blank space or shake it off plays on the radio
he’ll catch you humming or singing under your breath and just smile because he thinks it’s cute
it’s not like you’re outright crying in the car to all too well at top volume with him next to you
but maybe you’re the type who doesn’t just have the casual admiration for a tswift song here and there, maybe her fearless and speak now albums were the records that got you through your first major heartbreak in school and were the soundtrack to you crying in your room, so you’ve got pretty strong memories attached to her and her music and it’s hard not to hold a soft spot in your heart for it
even if your boyfriend has quite the stacked history with her
maybe you’re just minding your own business reading one day in the living room while jake’s sitting on the couch working, your music playing on shuffle out loud
and it really does slip your mind that you own her entire discography and maybe, just maybe you should’ve picked a different playlist until you hear those fateful notes of i almost do
and it’s weird territory because do you acknowledge the thing and therefore make it into a thing? do you pretend it’s nothing and potentially forego his feelings?
so you just casually look up from your book for a split second to get a gauge on his reaction
and in true jake gyllenhaal form, he literally has not noticed a single fucking thing, still totally engrossed in his computer
it probably doesn’t even register to him until about three songs after the fact, once he’s gotten up to go get something out of the kitchen and he stops to kiss the top of your head
and he just shrugs and says “they’re good songs. i was a fuckin’ moron back then. shouldn’t surprise ‘ya, angel.”
and it’s true: you do know the extents of how dumb he is
you’d take that as your moment to ask if it makes him uncomfortable, you listening to music that’s blatantly about him or even just listening to her at all, and he’d probably just shrug nonchalantly
“that was so long ago,” he’d say casually, running a hand back through his hair. “she and i are both probably totally different people now; i know i am. and she seems happy, i’m happy, so it doesn’t bother me if you wanna listen to her music. she’s good at what she does.” 
and then he’d pause and add, “now, we are gonna have a problem if you start asking me where her scarf is, ‘cause that shit’s old”
but he’d smile a very real, reassuring smile that lets you know it’s okay and you’re not accidentally crossing a line and that he’s glad you care enough to spare his feelings, but he has no feelings about it and wouldn’t want you to not indulge in something that makes you happy for his sake, especially when it has no real hold on him
because besides, he’s not still pining over what could’ve been and trying to find a way to turn back the time and show up at her 21st birthday party to make it right
he’s got you and that’s what matters 
i literally don’t think jake would care at all if you were a taylor swift fan because jake doesn’t strike me as the petty type, especially over something/someone that hasn’t even been in his life in 8 years
to be honest, most days he probably doesn’t remember that according to the media, the two of them are supposed to be something like mortal enemies after their “bad breakup” 
and if you caught him at the right moment, you could probably rope him into dancing with you to one of her songs or catch him singing along to shake it off
because let’s not even PRETEND like ramona and gloria haven’t given him endless shit and put him through his paces as being the biggest taylor swift fans of all time, so really, he can handle your love for her with no problems

Starts a little before Season 1 and then follows the main storyline of the show.
Pairing: Daryl Dixon x Glenn Sister!OC
Warnings: major TWD spoilers, language, violence (the typical TWD stuff), implied smut/sex
A/N: Here is another chapter and it’s taking off with the house party~ I gotta say I am a bit nervous about this chapter... I hope you all like it! Please let me know what you think!  Chapter 12 
Tumblr media
Glenn, Maggie, and Gloria arrive at the front door of Deanna’s house where they are greeted by Reg, Deanna’s husband and also the one who built the walls around Alexandria. He leads them into the main room where the rest of the party guests linger, letting them help themselves to the food and drinks. Glenn then spots Noah awkwardly cowering in the corner of the room, a forced smile on his face. Glenn nods pointedly towards him and the three go to his rescue. 
“Hey,” Glenn says with a soft smile, “you okay?”
“Yeah...” Noah nods, “yeah, um just... isn’t really my thing.”
“Not mine either, trust me,” Gloria smiles at him.
Noah chuckles and nods, “I think I’m gonna head out.”
“No, no. You’re not bailing,” Glenn stops him, “we’re in this together man.”
“You’re here with us now.” Maggie says, nodding reassuringly, “you’re here with family.”
Gloria looks around and spots the table that had beverages situated on top of it, she then glances back at Noah, “you wait here.”
Without waiting for Noah to try and stop her, Gloria goes over to the table and gets two party cups. She opens a bottle of gingerale and pours it into one cup, then pours herself some whiskey in the other. She knew she’d need some alcohol to get through this party. Putting on the lids of both bottles, Gloria heads back over to her friends with the two cups. She hands the cup with gingerale to Noah. 
“Oh, no, I can’t drink,” Noah says, waving his hand at the cup.
“It’s gingerale,” Gloria tells him in a whisper, “finish the cup and pretend to be drunk so we have a reason to leave earlier.” 
Glenn chuckles and shakes his head while Noah grins at her words, “that... that sounds great.”
“She’s a better planner than you,” Maggie teases Glenn.
“Please, where do you think she gets it from?” Glenn playfully rolls his eyes. 
Gloria chuckles and takes a sip from her cup, hissing slightly at the burn down her throat. The four of them have a light conversation amongst themselves before Gena and another woman near her age approaches. 
“Glad you could make it,” Gena says, a smile on her face as she greets them.
“You forced us to come...” Gloria mutters under her breath, looking down.
Maggie furrows her brows at Gloria’s expression as she’s never seen her act this way before. Glenn sighs softly, knowing how uncomfortable Gloria felt whenever Gena was around. Gena frowns at her words but it is soon replaced by a smile as she then gestures to the woman beside her.
“Glenn, you remember Jacob’s sister, Mindy right? Maggie, you met Mindy the other day in Deanna’s office.” Gena says. 
“I did,” Maggie smiles politely and nods at her in greeting, “nice to see you again.”
Mindy smiles at her and nods, then she looks over at Gloria and Noah, “Pleased to meet you two.”
Gloria blinks at her while Noah awkwardly smiles at her. Glenn furrows his brows as Gena has to do her best to stifle her laughter. 
“Mindy, this is Gloria.” Gena tells her.
The woman lets out an exaggerated gasp as she looks at Gloria, “you’re Gloria?! I didn’t even recognise you! I guess it took the end of the world for you to finally learn how to properly groom yourself.” 
Gloria forces a smile at her, “yeah... I guess it did.”
To anyone listening in on their conversation, it would seem that Mindy genuinely didn’t recognise Gloria. However, her and Glenn knew that she knew it was Gloria but Mindy just wanted to take cheap jabs at her like she and Gena always did when they were younger. 
Gena looks around the room then looks at Gloria, “that’s odd, I thought Daryl would be here with you."
Gloria purses her lips, knowing that nothing good could come out of this, “no, this... isn’t really his thing.”
Noah eyes her playfully, “I said the same thing but you’re making me stay.”
“You came on your own,” Maggie points out. 
“Daryl...” Mindy ponders for a moment. 
“Here it comes...” Gloria mutters under her breath in Korean, earning a worried look from Glenn. 
“Oh, that filthy man you were making out with the other day?” Mindy says, as if just remembering, she then lets out a mocking chuckle, “I guess losing your taste in men makes you shameless too, showing so much public affection like that.”
Gloria’s grip on her cup tightens as she gets angry at her words. Glenn sighs as Maggie frowns, not knowing what to do since they were still at the party and they both doubted Gloria wanted to cause a scene. Noah takes a sip from his cup, eyeing Mindy.
“Hey, that’s not very-” Noah starts but he’s cut off by Gloria.
“Speaking about men, where’s Rob?” Gloria asks, looking right at Mindy.
Her expression falls at the mention of her ex-husband. Gloria knew that the man had cheated on her with multiple women which ended their marriage years before the end of the world, she’d heard it from Gena. Mindy had to know that Gloria wouldn’t back down without putting up a fight. 
“Gloria.” Gena says in a warning tone but Gloria doesn’t bat an eye, not when they were about to start bad mouthing Daryl. 
“It’s okay, Gena, little girls don’t know any better,” Mindy says, putting a hand on her best friend’s shoulder, then she turns around and calls out to Jacob, “can you bring me my glass of wine?” 
As Gloria takes another sip from her cup, Glenn gives her a look that was a mixture of disapproval but amusement at the same time. She shrugs at him subtly causing Glenn to chuckle and shake his head. Jacob had brought a glass of red wine to Mindy and as she turns around to face the group, she yelps and jolts forward slightly as if someone had bumped into her. Gloria gasps as the dark red liquid spills all over her.
“Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry!” Mindy says. 
“Gloria, are you okay?” Maggie asks, a worried look on her face.
“I’ll go get some napkins,” Noah says just before he and Jacob rush off towards the kitchen.
Gloria sighs as she looks down at the now maroon stained cardigan but nods at Maggie, “yeah I’m fine... sorry about your cardigan though.”
“Don’t worry about it.” Maggie smiles at her reassuringly. 
“Gloria, take that off, you can’t keep wearing it when it’s like that,” Gena orders.
“I-I’m fine, I want to keep it on,” Gloria insists, cowering back away from Gena’s outreached hand. 
“No, you’re taking that off right now,” Gena says as she steps towards Gloria but the younger backs away, making her groan, “you want to keep playing the victim and make Mindy feel worse for spilling wine on you?”
“Gena, stop!” Glenn gently pulls her back, “she doesn’t want to take off the cardigan, don’t force her.”
“Gloria, don’t make me count,” Gena warns her, completely disregarding Glenn. 
“Fine.” Gloria says, glaring at Gena, she accused her of playing victim to make Mindy feel bad, that’s what Gena was going to get. 
“You don’t have to,” Maggie says with a frown as Gloria gives her the cup to hold for her. 
Gloria doesn’t say anything as she unbuttons the top button of the cardigan and pulls the piece of clothing off her. She could hear the quiet gasps from all over the room as her scars are all revealed for the people to see. She hated the feeling of all eyes on her, Gloria curses under her breath as she feels tears well up in her eyes. Shock is evident in Gena’s eyes as she looks at her younger sister, and Gloria is certain Gena feels disgust for her as well. 
Noah and Jacob had returned from the kitchen with paper towels, a look of shock on both of their faces for differing reasons. Jacob had just learned about her scars while Noah was surprised Gloria had decided to reveal her injuries at the party. 
“I... I didn’t know.” Gena says in a soft whisper.
“Yeah you did... you both did...” Gloria says, failing to control her tears as one rolls down her cheek.
Glenn reaches out and gently grabs Gloria’s hand, “come on, we’re leaving.”
Without saying anything or even looking at Gena, he pulls Gloria towards the door with Maggie and Noah trailing behind them. 
“Glenn!” Gena calls out.
He stops and ushers Maggie and Noah to guide Gloria outside, he turns around and glares angrily at Gena, “I told you not to force her.” 
“I didn’t know!” Gena says in her defence.
“It doesn’t matter.” Glenn huffs then leaves the party and catches up with the other three. 
They walk together towards their house. Noah was cracking lame jokes to try and help Gloria feel better while Maggie and Glenn walked with them in silence. Once they made it back to the house, Gloria kicked off her shoes and thanked Noah for trying to help her. Glenn, Maggie, and Noah could only watch helplessly as Gloria retreats back to her room. She didn’t bother turning on the light as the moon luminated most of the room from the window. From the doorway, she could see that the room was empty. Part of her was glad that Daryl wasn’t home so that he wouldn’t see her like this, but the other part wished he was as she wanted to find comfort in his arms. 
Gloria allows the tears to fall from her eyes as she struggles to pull the zipper on the back of her dress down. She doesn’t care if the dress ripped as she roughly pulls at the zipper, finally the slider moves down enough that she can tug the dress down and off her body. Gloria grunts as she kicks the dress away from her. Now that she was only in her bra and underwear, she could see all her scars in the full body mirror in the corner of the room. She walks up to the mirror as her eyes scrutinize each and every mark on her body. She could still feel the judgement and pity from those at the party and she hated every second of it. 
“You did this to yourself...” Gloria says as she glares at herself in the mirror, “you’re so damn stupid... why the hell would you listen to Gena... you’re such an idiot...” 
She curses under her breath as she begins to sob, unable to control her emotions any longer. She felt so foolish, she knew what Gena and Mindy were trying to do and she still fell for it. Gloria didn’t know how Gena knew about her scars, but she was certain that she did before she revealed them. In the moment, Gloria knew that it would make Gena feel bad, but she wasn’t sure whether the pain and humiliation afterwards was worth it at all. 
“Fucking dumbass...” Gloria whimpers between breathy sobs. 
She was so immersed in her emotions, Gloria didn’t even hear the door open and close. She’d only known that someone had come into the room when she felt a warm hand on her bare lower back. She lets out a gasp and turns to face whoever it was, her hands balled into fists as a fighting reflex, only relaxing when she realizes it’s Daryl. 
“Glenn told me what happened,” he says as he wipes her tears away with his thumb. 
“I was an idiot...” she says, her voice breathy and shaky. 
“Nah, ya weren’... they’re jus’ assholes,” Daryl says, he leans in and presses a kiss to her forehead, “c’mon.”
He ushers her towards the bed and sits her down. He begins to kiss her scars, starting with the arm closest to him. His lips trail down her skin, not letting a single inch of it go untouched. Daryl moves onto the next scar on her forearm. A soft smile tugs at Gloria’s lips at his gesture, she knew that he was wordlessly telling her that he loved her, every single part of her, scars and all. Just as she had done for him every night at the prison. Daryl moves to kneel in front of her when he’s done showing his love to the scars on her arms and chest, he caresses her cheek with his thumb.
“You’re so damn beautiful,” he tells her as he looks into her eyes, “perfect in every possible way,  an’ nothin’ can tell me otherwise.”
Gloria tearfully smiles at him, his words warming her heart, “I love you.”
“I love ya, too.” he says just before pressing his lips to hers in a sweet kiss. 
She wraps her arms around his neck, pulling him to lay down on the bed with her as she kisses him back. Their kiss becomes passionate and heated as his hands explore her body. Gloria’s hands move to unbutton his shirt, and he only parts from the kiss to remove his clothing. Daryl captures her lips with his again but this time in a sweet gentle kiss, earning a light giggle from Gloria. He smiles at the sound of her laughter and proceeds to trail kisses down to her neck and chest.
Daryl had always been a man of few words, always showing what he truly felt through his actions. He knew that no matter how many times he told Gloria that she’s perfect and beautiful, she wouldn’t listen as she was just as stubborn as him in that matter. Like him, he knew that the only way to have her accept her scars and not be insecure about them was for him to show her that he loves her no matter what. Just like she had done for him. 
“You’re perfect,” he says, planting a light kiss on the tip of her nose before laying down beside her. 
Gloria lets out a giggle as she wraps her arm around Daryl’s torso, her head laying on his chest, “I love you.” 
He wraps his arms around her, holding her close as he presses a kiss to her forehead, “I love ya, too.” 
The two lay together, snuggled in each other’s arms in a comforting silence before Gloria speaks again, “Daryl?” 
“Hm?” he hums in response.
“Where did you go tonight?” she asks, genuinely curious.
“Aaron’s, he invited me for dinner,” he tells her, “Eric makes some pretty good spaghetti.”
Gloria groans playfully, “you’re telling me I missed out on spaghetti?”
“Mhm,” Daryl chuckles, he ponders for a moment before speaking again, “he gave me a job.”
Gloria furrows her brows as she looks up at him curiously, the moonlight luminating his icy blue eyes, “a job? What kind of job?”
“Gonna be the other recruiter for this place, Aaron doesn’ want Eric goin’ out there anymore...” Daryl tells her, biting his lip as he wasn’t sure how she would like him leaving Alexandria for days at a time.
“So... you’re gonna go out there to find people and bring them back here?” she asks after pondering for a short moment.
“Yeah...” he answers, nervousness and worry filling up in his heart as he doesn’t know whether she was okay with it or not.
“On foot?” she asks.
“Nah, Aaron has a bike in his garage, I gotta fix it up though,” Daryl informs, earning a light nod from her, but she doesn’t say anything else. 
His worry and nervousness grow with every second of her silence. A million thoughts had crossed his mind when he was walking back to the house from Aaron’s house as he contemplated how to tell her about his new job. Being how he is, most of those thoughts were negative and disastrous scenarios of her getting upset and leaving him forever. Her body language however, did not tell him that she was upset or angry at him as she stayed cuddled in his embrace with no sign of wanting to move away.
“When are you guys leaving?” she asks, breaking the silence. 
“In a few days after I fix up the bike,” Daryl says, finally he works up the courage to ask, “ya okay with it? Me goin’ out there to find people?”
“Why wouldn’t I be?” Gloria furrows her brows in confusion, “you’re good out there, you know how to take care of yourself and I know how being stuck behind these walls makes you feel. Plus, it’s not like you’ll be going out there alone, Aaron’s proved to be a good guy, I trust him.”
Her words warm his heart and were able to chase his feelings away, but he still needed to confirm, “ya really okay wit’ me leavin’ ya for a few days at a time?”
“You accepted already, right?” Gloria asks, earning a soft nod from him, “you accepted because you want to be out there, you need to be out there to feel like yourself, I get that so I’m not gonna hold you back from it. I just want you to remember where your home is and you promise to come back, even if it’s just to tell me that you’re gonna leave.”
“I’d never leave ya,” Daryl says, “home is where ya are.”
Gloria smiles at his words and snuggles into him, kissing his chest gently. That was her way of letting him know that she wanted to sleep. Daryl couldn’t put into words how lucky he felt to have Gloria, she understood him like no other and never tried to change who he was. Even after all this time of being with her, he still didn’t know why she chose him but he was never going to take that for granted. 
---
The next morning, Gloria had gone off into the woods again to collect more herbs. Although it was supposed to be Rosita’s turn that day, she let Gloria go in her stead as she had witnessed what happened at the party between her and her sister. She knew that not caring about what the Alexandrians thought about her scars would be a lot easier said than done, so she just didn’t want to deal with it. As she walks around the forest, actively looking for any herbs, she hears what sounds like silenced gunshots in the near distance. Furrowing her brows, Gloria decides to investigate and soon finds an open area littered with dead walkers. She sees someone in the distance wearing a green army jacket armed with a rifle and she sighs when she recognizes the person as Sasha. Gloria ends up deciding to go up to her to make sure she’s alright when Sasha suddenly turns around and aims the rifle at her.
“Woah! Sasha, relax, it’s just me,” Gloria says, her hands held up as a natural reaction.
However, she doesn’t lower the rifle as she glares at Gloria, “why are you following me?”
“I wasn’t.” Gloria says, slowly putting her hands down, “I came out to collect herbs and heard shots, just wanted to make sure you’re alright.”
“Well I’m fine, so leave me alone.” Sasha says, annoyed as she turns around again to find more walkers in the woods. 
Gloria sighs as she knows Sasha is anything but fine. How could she be? She’d lost so much in such a short time. Gloria would be broken if she lost Glenn or Daryl, hell, even if she lost Gena.
“What are you still doing here? I said leave!” Sasha shouts. 
“Sasha, you need to talk to someone, you can’t keep doing this.” Gloria says. 
Sasha turns back around, this time the rifle is lowered, “I don’t need to talk to anyone! Why do you care anyway?!”
“Because I’m your friend!” Gloria shouts back.
“You are not my friend.” Sasha seethes, taking Gloria aback, “you’re just someone I know from the prison, nothing else. You didn’t even want me there in the first place, so I don’t even know why you’re saying you’re my friend when you’re not.”
“I... if you want me to apologize for wanting to kick you out of the prison-” Gloria is cut off by Sasha.
“I want you to apologize for not being able to save Tyreese.” Sasha spits out bitterly. 
Gloria’s eyes widen at Sasha’s words, staring at her in shock, “I did... everything I could.” 
“But it wasn’t enough...” Sasha whispers, choking back tears as she looks down. 
It was that moment that Gloria knew Sasha was only trying to push her away. She was hurting and wanted to be alone, she wanted to mourn in her own way. Sasha was doing everything she could to push Gloria away, even go as far as tell her she was why Tyreese was dead. Gloria understood this, but her words still stung. 
“I’m sorry...” Gloria says, looking down, “I’m sorry for not trying hard enough... for not being able to save your brother...” 
Without waiting for Sasha to respond, Gloria walks away into the forest. If she didn’t want to be near her, if she was a reminder that Tyreese wasn’t alive anymore, then she would leave her alone. Gloria walks around the woods, her thoughts distracting her from looking for any more herbs. She thinks back to the prison and how she would always have friendly competition with Sasha, making bets on who would kill the most walkers. Her, Sasha, and Maggie had grown so close during those times and now it all seemed so far away. 
It was only when she heard Sasha cry out in pain that Gloria snapped out of her thoughts. She quickly rushes towards the area she’d last seen Sasha and finds her on the ground as walkers surround her. Sasha was swinging her rifle at the walkers that came too close for a clean shot. Seeing this, Gloria dashes towards Sasha, unsheathing both of her daggers and stabs at the walkers closest to Sasha. 
“Come on!” Gloria says once it’s clear for her to reach out for her, hurriedly pulling her up from the ground. 
“Ah!” Sasha groans once she’s on her feet, making Gloria look at her in worry, “I think I hurt my ankle...”
“Like old times then, cover my ass!” Gloria shouts at her before lunging at the walkers with her daggers. 
A small chuckle escapes Sasha’s lips as she shakes her head, then she positions the rifle, aiming it towards the walkers. Gloria jabs walker after walker swiftly as Sasha shoots from behind her, taking down any that could get too close. Soon enough, the small herd is cleared and Gloria goes back to Sasha to help her walk to a large arrangement of rocks. Sasha sits down on the large rock as Gloria kneels down in front of her to examine her ankle. 
“Looks like you got a sprain,” Gloria tells her, “I suggest you keep off your foot for a few days even if it’s just a small sprain, but if you still want to come out here I can give you a compression wrap back at the infirmary and some pain killers.”
“Why are you still helping me...” Sasha asks, remorse in her voice.
“You’re still my friend... even if you don’t want me to be anymore.” Gloria says, looking down. 
“Hey...” Sasha starts, “look, I’m sorry about what I said before... I didn’t mean it.” 
Gloria sighs and gets up, she sits on the rock with Sasha, “see, I don’t know if you mean that or you’re just saying it because you feel bad.”
“It’s both, I do feel bad but I do actually mean it. I was just... I don’t even know,” Sasha sighs, frustrated with herself.
“Pushing me away?” Gloria says.
“Yeah... pushing everyone away actually... I don’t think I spoke to anyone from our group but Rick since we got here,” Sasha tells her, she then gently grabs Gloria’s hand, “I’m serious though, I didn’t mean what I said about you not trying hard enough for Ty...” 
“I know,” Gloria says with a small smile, “doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.”
“I’m sorry, it just slipped out...” Sasha grimaces at her lame excuse.
“Because you know me, that’s probably the only thing you could have said to push me away,” Gloria chuckles softly, “does this mean we’re still friends?”
“Please, if you weren’t my friend, do you think I would let you kill more walkers than me and win?” Sasha chuckles.
Gloria scoffs playfully and rolls her eyes, “let me? What are you talking about, I saved your ass.”
“Yeah, because I let you save my ass.” Sasha argues with a grin. 
The two continue to bicker for a while before deciding to head back to Alexandria. Sasha had her arm around Gloria’s shoulders while Gloria held her from her waist, she wanted to make sure Sasha didn’t put as much weight on her injured ankle. Gloria calls out to whoever is manning the gate to open and they two make their way towards the infirmary.

Song Ranking
So I did that song ranking thing and it took HOURS. literal HOURS. Don’t ever do it, I won’t even link it. I hated doing it. But here is my list. And dare I say my Top 130 is immaculate hjgkhg
Some of this is not really accurate though. Could be me or the generator. Like ‘Cold Hearted’ being 500 something???? Not in my house.
