Adam made sad eyes at Etienne, who returned the gaze with a similar sentiment, then looked forward. He didn’t have the energy or the mind to make any kind of response or protest, and by all accounts he was just glad it wasn’t his father or one of his guards that had found him instead. Finding Peace in the Storm (pre-canon, young Adam fic)

Maurice’s cheeks flushed. He was humble to a fault, but he knew he needed the money. He silently got back to his feet, dropping a hand on his daughter’s head and absentmindedly petting her braid. Visit to the Dressmaker’s House (pre-canon, young Belle & Maurice fic)

“After we eat, I’m hungry too,” Belle squeezed his hand. “And didn’t you get plenty in my letter?”

He smiled, “I did, I did. I cherish your letter. But you underestimate how much I missed the sound of your voice.” First Gift

Chip nodded and turned so Adam could scoop the baby out of his arms. She stopped crying almost at once, beginning to play with the chain on Adam’s cloak. She was like her mother in the funniest ways, sometimes. A One-Hound Open Sleigh

It was a high he actually wanted to chase. A feeling so blissful for someone who had once made a home with intoxication. This was a euphoria he wanted to stay in. If she was there, he knew he could survive anything. Beating Hearts

Belle frowned upon hearing his words. She had figured out quite early on that all of these enchanted objects were once breathing human beings. They had dreams, desires, memories. The one piece of this puzzle that Belle could not find was why it all happened, and how she could fix it. Nogaux (set during the movie, evidently lmao)

Adam put his hands on his hips and huffed. Was it really worth not walking back to the castle alone? He decided it was. Adam made his way back to her, stopping in front of his beloved Belle and her mischievous little grin. What’s Your Favorite Color?

Adam exhaled, feeling frustrated and embarrassed and ten other complicated emotions that he couldn’t quite place. He scrubbed a hand down his face, looking around the room. His heart was rattling against his ribs, he put his hands on his hips to stop them from shaking. His eyes darted from the curtains to the bed, the chest to the vanity. It was all so familiar; so painfully familiar. Blossoms Bloom and Light Shines Through

Adam was hardly registering her words, so moved by what he held in his hands. A token from his childhood that he had no memory of, yet he felt such a bond with it — a link to a time long buried deep in his heart. Baby Bonnet

Adam opened his eyes again, looking at her with lips parted as he processed her words. “It’s a girl?” he repeated. When she nodded, letting out a light chuckle as another tear slipped down her cheek, Adam asked: “We have a daughter?” The Most Wonderful Day

i love farcille but i have Thoughts

i don't think marcille is even close to accepting any romantic feelings towards OR from falin by the end of the manga, or even in the supplemental comics set after the manga.

marcille has huge issues and misconceptions around age. part of her still sees falin as the young girl she met in school. when she hears about falin and laios's parents' age, she immediately calls them "those kids." she's objectively wrong here, but her perception of time and maturity is totally warped. she uses her own numerical age as a benchmark for maturity - with her own current age representing "totally 100% mature." anyone younger than her is "a kid." this is completely flawed thinking in two ways. firstly, half-elves age differently and inconsistently, so her numerical benchmarks don't make sense for literally any other race. secondly, marcille is NOT MATURE.

she spends half the manga whining about what she has to eat to survive. she repeatedly endangers her teammates to selfishly prove her worth. she clings to doing things by the book to the detriment of her own growth and her relationships with other people. she pouts when people don't want to do things her way. hell, just in day-to-day personal interactions, falin is more mature than marcille by a long shot. and yet she sees herself as more "adult" than falin.

falin, who understood early on that her parents did their best to protect her with the resources they had, even if they didn't always communicate it well. falin, who rejects shuro's second attempt at a proposal with such nuance, kindness, and grace that he smiles afterwards. falin, who withstood bullying from her peers at school and from adults in her village for years and came out of it with kindness that can exorcize zombies with a hug.

in order to accept any feelings she has for falin or vice versa, marcille would first have to recognize that falin is not a child compared to her. and there are times she comes close. falin, in her eyes, is almost superhumanly kind to the point of near worship. but she still sees falin as silly or childish because falin doesn't make the same practical choices that marcille would. ironically, those choices are typically driven by falin's kindness or love of all things living. and falin is too conflict-avoidant to tell marcille directly that she's wrong.

i don't think that a romance is impossible between them, though. i think it'd just take either emotional growth on marcille's part, or possibly even growth on falin's. while falin canonically doesn't push back on marcille's assumptions at all, she's also not so passive that she couldn't ever push back. we see pretty early on in the story that she's willing to hurt others if it means protecting her friends, she'd just prefer not to. i could see a situation arising where marcille makes selfish or damaging choices and falin has to put her in her place about it, and marcille finally comes to a revelation about her own or falin's maturity.

from there i think would essentially be an emotional floodgate. the groundwork for her having feelings is there, as they're obviously very affectionate with each other, but the revelation "falin is not an ickle babby i have to look out for" would have her recontextualizing a lot of their interactions. marcille would have to spend a while wrestling with suddenly feeling "wrong" about sharing a bed with falin, something she used to do easily. when falin gets cuddly, she'd struggle with the feeling of "this used to seem platonic to me but now it doesn't."

actually, it'd probably be a lot like realizing you're a lesbian and that your relationship with a friend was kind of weirdly homoerotic, and not knowing if that was "okay" or not.

crying over Rescue Bots, yes it’s the ghost ship episode, it’s fine

so I’m watching Rescue Bots again because I don’t feel good today lmao 

and the episode where they’re on the ghost ship and TEN WHOLE ASS YEARS GO BY WHILE THEY ARE STUCK ON THE SHIP came up in the playlist 

and even though it’s resolved in the end, it’s like, holy shit 

okay so for those who haven’t seen it: 

halfway through the episode Chief Burns shows up and sees his kids for the first time in TEN YEARS because tl;dr the kids got on the ghost ship to investigate but it vanished back into the fog and it time travelled them at accelerated speed but beyond the ship, time passes normally, so it’s been 10 YEARS from their dad’s point of view since they left, even though for them it has only been one hour 

and him and the Doc and Frankie are visibly older when they land on the ship’s deck 

so naturally Chief’s talking to his kids and probably trying not to fucking have a break down and he’s like okay everyone, let’s go 

and Cody’s like “no we think we figured it out, let us stay and try” 

and the Chief has less than one minute to make this call: do I bring my entire family home after ten years, or do I let them disappear maybe for another ten years based on a hunch they have 

and he lets them stay on the ghost ship because he trusts his kids that much 

ten years lost, maybe ten years more, and how old is he now? how old will he be in another ten years, if they happen to be wrong? what happens to the town if he ages out of rescue work (and so would Doc), which would leave only Frankie to protect the island? 

even the rescue bots themselves openly state that they feel like they’ve abandoned their posts because of their extended absence, even though it’s not their fault (I don’t remember who specifically said this but it was one of them and it makes it sadder lmao) 

but he lets them go after finally seeing them again for five minutes in total, after they have been missing in real time for ten years on this ghost ship 

and IDK the amount of trust Chief has in his kids and his ability to immediately trust them in this way despite what I am sure is an incredible amount of grief and stress over what has been ten fucking years for him is actually so intense 

like this is a show for babbies, so of course they can’t focus on how emotionally fucked this situation is for literally everyone, it would be Too Much for Babbies which is understandable 

but thinking about it for ten seconds is like oh shit!! oh shit, feelings 

I love this episode because the feels are real, both for the Captain of the ship (which is the whole setup, tl;dr stuck in time loop never got to marry girlfriend, it’s sad already) and for Chief Burns because holy shit his fucking entire family has been gone for ten years and he still trusts them enough to let them stay on board and try to solve shit even though he absolutely has to be emotionally trashed in that moment 

10/10 Rescue Bots is a great show, I don’t know why I don’t post about it more tbh the emotional whiplash is so intense lmao 

there’s also that time Optimus turned into a t-rex and freaked out but then in TFP concurrently this was somehow fine and it never came up again in canon or seemingly anywhere else, holy shit I forgot all about that until today LMAO

I love the Aligned Continuity, all of this shit is so good, I’m crying but also laughing 

mostly crying right now though because Chief Burns lost all his kids for TEN YEARS and he immediately let them go again because he loves them and trusts them THAT MUCH

Yandere Files: Illuso x Shy Reader

CW: Somnophilia, Stalking, murder, impregnation mention, alcohol

Here’s Babbys first yandere post. 🥴 it’s not gruesome but it is very lewd. I guess this more of a “softer” yandere than I anticipated but this was mostly for my own self indulgence lol. I hope this is good enough for everyone 💜 Minors DNI NSFW

It’s not every day La Squadra is given a new teammate. It’s definitely a first for an AFAB to come into the group of hardened criminals. It’s been about 7 months now, and nobody knows a goddamn thing about you. You stay to yourself , you don’t make small talk, eye contact, or show any sort of an emotion. You speak so softly… that they have to strain their ears just to understand what you are saying. It’s always in short choppy sentences.

How are you doing today Y/N? “Good.”

Did you do anything over the weekend? “I slept.”

Tell the guys what you did to that target! “Killed him.”

No, hooow did you kill him? “ High speed train…heading to Roma Termini.”

Where are you heading off to Y/N? “Out.”

Out where? “To the cafe.”

Getting any information out of you was like pulling teeth. The only thing they knew was that they were a foreigner from _______.

Illuso was tasked with spying on you because you were so quiet and reserved. Can you blame them? After what happened to Sorbet and Gelato you can’t be too sure to make sure you're not part of the bosses secret mission to snitch on them.

Illuso keeps a good eye on you. He seen where you live, what your real personality is like. Who your friends are… who your family are… and knows all about your pets and which one is secretly your favorite.

All the while you slowly warm up just a little to the others more, illuso keeps acting like a complete jerk to keep up with appearances. He doesn’t want you knowing he’s watching your every move. He doesn’t wanna admit it but he’s slowly becoming attached.

He watches you clean… cook… play with your cats and treat them like babies. It makes him start to day dream thinking about you doing those sorts of things for him or just with him. He can feel his cheeks tinting pink.

If you have any interest in any of the other teammates or if they have interest in you, he’ll sabotage anything by telling you something embarrassing about them.

“Hey Y/N! Did you know that Prosciutto is old enough to be your DAD??? Hahaha!”

“Illuso shut the fuck up! Don’t make me get Grateful Dead out on your ass!”

He suddenly feels agitated when your partner calls… why is that? When he hears you arguing loudly over the phone with them and you’re upset/crying, he’s suddenly a lot nicer to you. Weird. Illusos not a nice guy, so what’s his deal???

Despite his hatred of you having a partner he fondles himself watching you two getting intimate. He gets just as sexually frustrated as you do when you can’t climax. Can’t your partner do anything right?! Get rid of the loser so he can do it for you himself!

He will sabotage your relationship with your partner. He’ll throw used condoms in the glove box of your shared car or under the mattress. Put perfume or lipstick stains on their clothes. Anything to get you to argue and break up. And for extra measure he’s gonna send them to the mirror realm and pummel them to death.

Once the partner is out of the way. He starts being a lot nicer. He’ll include you in on teasing others and if that’s not your vibe he’ll tell you all of the juiciest gossip he has as he plays with your hair while watching trash reality tv.

He’s stingy with everyone and won’t let others try his stuff but he’ll wanna you try a new product he bought himself(mostly just for you).

“Y/N, you’re safe with me. I wanna try this new hair mask out on you. I bet it will make your hair feel so silky. “

When you're not home/out on a mission it’s a perfect opportunity to take in your scent. He’s gonna find what fragrances you use so he can use them to jerk off with. He’ll take a pair of panties that been well used out of the hamper to smell and when he’s feeling extra desperate he’ll lick a long stripe up then too to savor your natural taste.

When you two have missions together he’ll be the nicest guy ever. He won’t even treat it like a mission. It will be like a mini vacation. He will insist on getting a 1 bed hotel room so you two have to share. Even if it’s king sized, the man is HUGE. He’s gonna have some amount of contact with your body and he’s gonna love every minute of it.

He’ll make sure your nice and drunk so when you fall asleep you don’t wake up or remember anything as he thigh fucks you from behind panting sweet nothings into your ear as your blissfully off into dreamland thinking your just having a wet dream.

“You’re mine, you got that? Nobody can have this cunt but me… I swear I’m gonna knock you up so nobody can take you away from me. I don’t really want a kid but I’ll do everything I can to keep you from leaving.”

He’s gonna make you his regardless. He’s never been so attached to anyone before and he’s spoiled so he’s gonna get what he wants . So consider yourself “lucky “ this yandere chose you and get cock drunk because he’s isn’t going to stop pounding anytime soon.

“ I hope you can accept my love Y/N. Because I’m not letting you go! You’re mine and nobody else’s! My god, I love you so damn much…”

[sapphire-weapon]

Chreon is so underrated. The way their relationship could be so DEEP and meaningful and healing for both parties. I'm in my feelings tonight god damn.

I went through this like last week or someshit, where I just got slammed with Chreon feels and had to go lie down for a bit.

In DSC, Leon geeks out at Claire several times about how it's so cool that her brother is in STARS, and he must be really smart and dedicated and all this other stuff, and it's so goddamn cute. Imagine if the two of them had actually gotten a chance to work together for a period of time before everything went to shit. Babby Leon all starstruck (no pun intended) and Chris, being Chris, would almost definitely take the dewy-eyed rookie under his wing. 🥺

So much potential for a traditional romance story between them, with Leon just crushing hardcore but not wanting to screw up their professional relationship -- until it finally comes out that Chris's affections for him in return are less than professional, as well.

But even apart from that, with the way they've actually been written -- Hunnigan basically says it was love at first dork between those two.

Though, that's only like. Half of the story. There's no way of knowing just how long Leon and Chris had actually been friends before meeting face to face. They first canonically spoke all the way back in 1999, so for all we know, they could've had a long-distance friendship not unlike so many other people do via the internet. (Can u believe that me and @godtier have never met irl but we have been staples in each other's lives for over 15 years?)

I would really like to see RE become self-aware about the relationship they've built between these two -- because I don't think that the writing staff over at Capcom is consciously aware of certain things that have been set up and implied between the two of them. I don't think they realize that they've been writing these stories to show Chris as trusting Leon more than he trusts Jill, in some ways. I also don't think they realize that they've shown Leon to be consistently comforted by Chris's presence.

I'm not saying that Capcom should make Chreon canon -- I know that they'd sooner let Leon canonically marry Ashley before so much as suggesting an actual romance between Leon and Chris -- but I'd like to see some acknowledgement of just how deep their friendship seems to run.

But on the headcanon-y side of things, if only the two of them were also more self-aware and were at all the types of guys to actually, like. Think about their own emotions a little bit (as opposed to not at all). How much better off would the two of them be if they were cognizant enough to spend nights together in a way that matters?

Just a quiet night with the two of them together on the couch, not really watching whatever's on TV because Leon is falling asleep while leaning against Chris, who has one arm slung lazily around his shoulders so that his hand dangles uselessly against Leon's arm. Chris knows that he's going to eventually have to make the decision to either drag Leon's sleepy ass to bed or lay him out properly on the couch -- assuming that he, himself, doesn't fall asleep right there along with him.

Anon I want to fuckihng die why did u do this to me

"But you will leave the family all alone": A Meta on the Stooky Family

So, I just did a quick Google search and discovered that Stooky Sue was not a real doll (unlike Stooky Bill, who really existed). So, Stooky Sue and the Stooky Babbies were inventions for the show. Why do that, unless RTD wanted to make a point? I think the point was that Stooky Sue and the Stooky Babbies were once humans, now transformed into puppets by the Toymaker.

The first clue is what the Toymaker says in the first scene, when Charles Banerjee says he just wants to buy Stooky Bill, and leave the other puppets behind. To this, the Toymaker responds:

"But you will leave the family all alone. Poor Stooky Sue and the poor Stooky Babbies. You would leave them without Papa? The widow und the orphans will be ge-crying."

Obviously, this is exactly what happens later. Now, this could be the Toymaker just messing around - he brought these puppets to life, and this is him foreshadowing that he's going to play this out later, when Stooky Bill is burnt and "the widow und the orphans" are left crying. This could be just another game to him, but why would he bother to make that up? Why build a family of five puppets, when history only demanded one? He went to 1925 to tamper with the real Stooky Bill broadcast. Why bother making four spare puppets - a mother and her children?

The second clue comes in the form of the puppets themselves. Look at Stooky Sue's hair and dress. This looks to me like a typical 1920's style dress, and the simple hair could definitely fit into that era. Her outfit also matches that of the babies - perhaps these were once the matching outfits of a mother and her three children? Stooky Bill also has a surprisingly elaborate and period-accurate outfit.

Speaking of the children - two of them have blue eyes and blonde hair, and one has brown eyes and brown hair. These seem like very particular traits for the Toymaker to have bothered giving a set of puppets. They're more likely to be the hereditary traits of real children than the invented traits of toys. Stooky Sue has blue eyes, like two of the babies, but the third baby has brown eyes, like Stooky Bill. Perhaps they inherited their eye colours from their parents?

And if you listen to what Stooky Sue says again, this doesn't sound like a game by the Toymaker. Yes, he could be forcing the puppet to rhyme in her creepy way, but there's something so flat and depressed about the voice, like a woman honestly recounting what happened to her. The emotion feels more real than the Toymaker's usual playful voice, with his exaggerated accents:

"I'm poor wee Stooky Sue. I don't know what to do. I lost my precious hubby. They threw me in the cubby. They took my Bill away. I mourn him every day. He won't come home to me. 'Cause they burnt him on TV. Now the Stooky Babbies weep. The Stooky Babbies cannae sleep. They miss their dear papa. They seek him near and far. They miss their kiss goodnight. They greet in endless night."

This story suggests that the family were together, even as puppets, but when Stooky Bill was taken and burnt on television, now the family is torn apart. Something else to note about Stooky Sue? She's got a Scottish accent. That's an accent we don't hear the Toymaker put on. Might this have been Stooky Sue's real accent, now being spoken out through the wooden mouth of her puppet body?

On the subject of puppet bodies - the Toymaker says that Stooky Bill's hair is made out of the hair of a real woman. Could the same be said for Stooky Sue, and the Babbies? Might their bodies all be made out of the hair and pieces of their original human forms? I doubt the Toymaker needs to use the parts of each person in their corresponding puppet bodies (so, perhaps Stooky Bill got Stooky, Sue's hair, she got his, and so on.) This also isn't the only time we see him combine human and puppet body parts together in one form, as he does with Banerjee later.

Of course, this could all just be creepy set-dressing by the Toymaker. He might have built a family for Stooky Bill because he was bored, and he can create things out of thin air. He could have used the hair of another one of his victims, who had no connection to Stooky Bill. It's a coincidence the babies have their "parent's" eyes. But all of these little details just seem too minute to be a coincidence. It's entirely in keeping with the Toymaker's personality to have played a game with an entire family, and then turned them into wooden puppets when they lost.

I saw the Arctic Monkeys live... Almost two weeks ago now (crazy) and it did in fact take me this long to recover enough to write this. So here's some thoughts:

❄️🧊🐒🐒🐒🐒🧊❄️

Well first of all - context - it was a festival. And really not only was it a festival - it was my first festival. And not only was it my first festival - it was really my first live show of a band I cared for and listened to and specifically came to see. (I'm not a babeh nor a babby - I just listen to a lot of dead & retired musicians and AM was my first chance at a live gig that I really wanted to see). So this was like... Super special of an experience to me.

more context: I stood... Many many hours in the spot I secured almost as soon as I walked onto the festival grounds. And therefore saw them from second row. Up close. And... I'd do it again in a heartbeat (but it definitely isn't for everyone and please don't take this as advice and listen to what you yourself know about your body's limits).

🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶

✨Thoughts & feelings & observations✨ :

I've been fully validated in my love for TBHC & The Car.

I can now confidently say that I adore them as albums and also that they are show stealers to me personally in their live versions. They absolutely hold up live.

Listen - yes - the heavier more traditional rock albums full-on destroy live - and I definitely would've cried if I didn't get to hear the classics at my show. I jumped and screamed the lyrics and danced and played out the lyrics. But the songs I got from TBHC and TC? They HIT the most, emotionally.

Maybe it's because both of these albums are in my top 3 of the Monkeys albums in general - or maybe it's because Alex just resonates with them more currently therefore being able to emotionally invest more into them and then that coming across and affecting me. I don't know. I think it's both. And when Sculptures came around... PHEW

Which brings me to: Sculptures like absolutely destroyed me the most of the whole setlist -and I definitely wasn't expecting it.

It's not even my favorite song on The Car (though of course it is up there. And it also was the biggest WOW SHOCK for me on my first album listen). But something about his voice during that song. The emotions. The instrumentals. And the echo they had over all of it... Jeez, it was all just very intense.

Four out of Five.

Not a complete fan of the new arrangement... Because I worship TBHC in it's original form - but even so - that song still slaps in any form. And you best believe I was out there screaming all the verses like there's no tomorrow. It hurt my teeny tiny heart that this is now the lone setlist survivor off TBHC. But that just made me clutch it even harder and fully give myself to the moment. (TBHC we will avenge you!)

I think I just straight up dissociated at Do I Wanna Know.

Maybe I'm a basic bitch of a fan - but I WORSHIP that song and riff - and It was just such a symbol for me of getting to see them live. I imagined the moment he enters with his beautiful 12-string vox SO many times. And when the time came I just sort of... I didn't know what to do with myself. I sang along and tried focusing and registering it all - but it was too much; too much pressure on myself too - so my mind just seemingly floated away.

Generally the whole thing was such a hugely important event for me that I had trouble registering it as real and felt a bit "mind-floaty" through it all - but that memory is just THE BLURRIEST of them all. So you can say it's an intense experience witnessing that classic live 😂

Witnessing the whole process live made me realize just how exhausted the whole gang must be.

The night before I - of course - scoured all social media for info about their arrival and set up - and so I saw all the little info about them flying in, their bus and their equipment truck arriving, all that. Then I got a report from how the soundcheck went around noon. And since I stood 7 hours in my secured spot I also saw the entire setup process with so many roadies running around. Allll that contex kind of... Gave me a good feel for the time that goes into this. Time and work and travel - all of that for a 1,5 hour live show - and then on they go to the next. Let's please appreciate artists and understand when they do seem a little off. Touring seems like an energetic nightmare (and especially for introverts).

Speaking of roadies... I wasn't building too many expectations stage design-wise. And the EFFORT surprised me so positively.

So basically - I knew Glasto had the mirroball and all the bells and whistles. But we weren't as important of a festival. So there was no way of knowing. I truly full on expected a bare stage. For months I'd watch clips of their other shows and think "ah. Too bad we don't get the mirroball moment". I came to terms with it months in advance - and then when someone posted a blurry photo of the mirroball showing up I was in shock. I love how much this whole team cares. It isn't a simple task driving all these props around and setting them up - the ball, the ring, the lights, the curtains in the themed Car color palette. I very much wouldn't blame them for having a "light" version for festivals in particular - when the roadies have like 30-45 minutes to set everything up right after the previous act ends. But no - there's a vision and they stick to it consequently and they don't differentiate between types of shows. No compromises - 100% of what they've got. It's honestly just beautiful to me.

Alex was... So mobile.

He fully pranced around that stage in his little heeled boots (!!!) doing his little gags and knocking over microphone stands with the cord of his guitar. He made sure to cover the whole stage and acknowledge all sides of the crowd - and come back and give us all attention a few times throughout the show. And I love him for it.

Alex is completely mesmerizing.

Okay - I say that as a person who's completely in love with his mind and talent (and... the packaging... ain't bad 👀) - so I get I'm not a very reliable source. But guys... That kid is magic (I say as if he's not 9 years older than me) (he's still babygirl though) He just is. He grabs your attention with his energy and doesn't let go until you've let him out of your sight (not of your own accord). Disappears behind that curtain.

I tried checking up on the other boys through the show - Nick managed to hide at an angle that kept him pretty invisible to me, unfortunately :c. Matt was killing it - and I loved noticing how Jamie just... Sways back and forth. But listen - even when I meant to look towards them more during the show - my brain just completely didn't allow it.

(And yeah. I get that's the role of the frontman. But... Guess the thing is he just does it so well. It didn't come naturally to him - as we know. It takes a lot out of him probably each time. But the energy is just there. And he could stand all night long and just sing and I'd still be mystified).

I already fangirled internally like crazy when I saw their guitars being set up and tuned.

And then during the show - I caught myself guessing what songs they were gonna play based on the guitars Alex was picking up. And just being weirdly proud of myself.

Also... The Epiphone Coronet looks so tiny live? I don't know. But it seemed that way - and isn't a tiny guitar for a tiny kitten just the cutest thing?

I missed my moment 😪.

Which really wasn't too big of a potential moment - but between songs people would shout titles of songs they want to play - and you know. It was usually AM or maybe FWN stuff. And during one of those moments I felt an overwhelming urge to shout "Perfect Sense". You know... To show that fans are indeed also excited about the actual album this tour is about. I ended up deciding against it - and literally like two seconds later Alex picks up his acouie and announces Perfect Sense. I sensed that. I could've had Alex Turner knowing I sensed that. But alas. I ended up just enjoying it in peace 🥲.

I won't take any interaction-themed slander.

I feel like people who are used to a lot of band interactions often speak ill of Alex and think he's an ungrateful frontman. Which - well first of all is bullshit because I don't believe artists need to be saying a word - it's the music you pay for. But secondly - he may not be saying much - but the energy he exudes and the sincere way he says things... Well it says it all. I feel like you have to be there to feel that energy and understand - but to me it was palpable that he was grateful for the enthusiasm, happy to perform and generally very emotionally invested in everything he was doing.

And then he thanked us and sent kisses our way multiple times too. And called us a beautiful audience (stop it Alexander! We're blushing!)

His shennanigans!

He seemed very happy to have a runway to get onto and use for his bowling shtick (I feel like he immediately got excited seeing that stage at soundcheck probably when he realized he could use it in that way).

There were no birds around to control - but there was the weather. So he did in fact ask the skies to "turn up that wind machine" as it started blowing and made him look like a vision during Sculptures (guys, truly. Sculptures live is insane. I'll repeat it forever). (🎶 Those words don't mean a thing where I come from, but I'll sing them forever 🎶) (I'm sorry, I had to).

All the little over-the-top faces he makes to enact the lyrics are a bit too adorable and almost made my heart burst.

Like... The "wah wah" crying one at "I feel the tears are coming on"? What a geek.

(but then also... Who hurt you 👀 it definitely makes Body Paint seem even more bitter and like it's a jab at someone).

And then - if you've made it here - one last thing I'll share with you - a very important screenshot of my notes app where I quickly started scribbling my fleeting thoughts in the days following the show:

And I think that's the best way to sum up what one feels seeing the Man the Legend the Genius the Poet Alexander Turner in the flesh for the very first time.

What would be AU! Princess Luz’s in the canon! world’s reaction to meeting Camila? She’d probably realize she isn’t in a dream if Camila starts speaking spanish and she’s just like huh???

oh i honestly believe that princess AU luz meeting canon camila would just. shatter her.

like, not Immediately, but like.....

for the most part, AU luz doesn't miss the human world much, she considers the isles her home and barely remembers the human realm. to her, humanity is usually an annoying disability and occasionally cause for guilty crises over being a colonizer. she doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about the life that she could have lived if she hadn't wandered into the isles as a babby

and then like. meeting canon camila would change all that really really fast.

not even because of the human part or even the losing-her-spanish part, it's just like.... like.

luz obviously knows how awful belos is and can now recognize that her entire upbringing was drowned in lies and manipulation and belos's own loneliness, she Gets that belos wanted things from her more than he really wanted to raise a child

however she does not know Quite How Devastating the emotional neglect has been for her. because she has no point of comparison. luz doesn't spend her time thinking about everything that she needed and never got from a parent, bc 1) she and hunter have been instinctively taking care of themselves For Forever, and 2) she relies on hunter for a lot of the reassurance and stability and protection that would normally come from a parent. so she doesn't know that she's missing anything

until there's. camila.

and suddenly luz is having to grapple with this really warm kind genuine person loving her unconditionally -- or at least loving one version of her unconditionally. and with that comes an overpowering feeling of "oh, this is the life i was supposed to have, the life i have now is wrong." and then there's not Just the insane grief over not having lived that life, but Also the feeling of fundamental brokenness, like. i can't be a luz who deserves to be loved like this because belos made me different and i won't ever untangle myself from his formative influences, so. i can't be anyone's daughter and i can't stand to stay here long enough to see her disappointment when she realizes i don't deserve to be here

empress luz meeting her own timeline's camila is something i desperately want to write and it's also something that has less immediate emotional baggage. because princess AU timeline's camila was robbed of the chance to raise her daughter just like luz was robbed of the chance to be raised by her parents. the two of them are basically strangers to each other and very carefully learning each other for the first time. that's Very Different from meeting a camila who has a very long history and great relationship with her luz.

#i know i said i wouldnt reply to asks yet but i got cold so i took a bath #and this one is one i keep thinking about. sorry that this answer is a downer but it is technically a downer AU #replies #toh #princess luz au #luz noceda #camila noceda #long post

Hey! Not sure if you do brocedes prompts but just in case you do it would be amazing if you could write an AU where everything is the same except Lewis get stuck in an alternate timeline where nothing has changed except Nico who didn't grow up with him and is a young rookie eager to impress Lewis the 7 time world champion.

hi there anonstie 🥺 I saw this prompt in the morning and couldn't stop thinking about it....... since you said Lewis is a 7 time wc, but Nico is babby... that means Nico didn't win 2016 WDC so I made Seb win 2017 with Ferrari 😅 fanfic is truly the pinnacle of wishful thinking.

this is set at the start of 2022, where instead of George Russell, they bring in rookie rising talent Nico Rosberg. I hope you enjoy!!!

There was a crick in Lewis' neck when he woke up, and it got worse when he saw Nico Rosberg on the other side of the long Mercedes hallway, in the full black latest Mercedes suit.

What the fuck?

His hair was longer, like it once was, and whatever surgery he got done worked cause he didn't look so obviously plastic the way he did on TV. They barely made eye contact, Nico looked at him and immediately looked away; which was unusual for him. He usually preferred dragging it out and taking the win when Lewis looked away first.

He didn't have time for Nico's games, walking into Toto's office.

"So, what's he doing there?" Lewis asked, trying to keep his tone neutral, pointing at the hallway outside from the glass walls.

"I am glad you asked. As you know, we are looking to replace Valtteri, and have looked at multiple young candidates..." Toto starts.

Yeah, like Russell. Lewis was pretty sure he was locked, last he'd heard.

"And Nico Rosberg would be a perfect fit." Toto finished.

Hold on.

"You're joking, yeah? Very funny, Toto." Lewis says coolly, classic Austrian humour that doesn't land and isn't funny. Not sure they needed to go as far as getting Nico, and putting him in the latest suits but whatever.

"I am not, Lewis. Is there a problem?"

Lewis sputters, staring at Toto stone-faced. Did he forget the myriad of problems they had when these two were on a team together?

"Well, he hasn't driven an F1 car in years, for one. Seriously, Toto, what's going on? Is the company going under? What was wrong with Russell. I can't believe you're even looking at Nico as a serious candidate, that's nuts."

"While it's true he hasn't officially been in a Mercedes W-13 car, we've done a few practice sessions and he's been purple sectors all around. His results speak for themselves, GP3 champion, F2 champion. Quite frankly, if we don't pick him this season, Redbull and Ferrari have his eyes on him too. I don't understand, Lewis, you were all on board a few weeks ago. What is the issue now?"

Toto's gone mad. There's no way Ferrari and Redbull are fighting for a retiree, and why would he be bringing up feeder wins from a decade ago?! And a few weeks ago, they talked about Russell. Nico's not on the table, he never has been.

"Because it's Rosberg! You know what happened. Come on, Toto. This seriously isn't funny. The team doesn't need a repeat of 2016."

Toto frowns, at how emotional Lewis was getting. He hadn't been aware the two had any shared history, or even met yet.

"2016?" Toto asked, delicately.

"When Nico won and retired, after practically ripping the team apart." He had responsibility there too, but Toto had made it clear years after if he had to make that choice all over, he'd pick Lewis. So this, none of this, none of today made any sense.

"Lewis, you were World Champion in 2016." Toto said calmly, pointing at the wall of trophies behind them. "Up until today, Nico Rosberg has never even been in Mercedes premises."

And Lewis had a sick, sinking feeling of his world being uprooted as he pulled his phone out to google himself out of this elaborate prank and stared at the '2016 World Champion F1 - Lewis Hamilton.'

"Lewis..." Toto's voice is impossibly gentle. "It's normal for stress to get to anyone. And there is no shame is looking for help. Do you want to see our psychologist?"

x

If Lewis admits the truth, then he never gets to race again. No doctor would believe him, and no evaluation would give him the mental sanity checks to drive. So instead, he has this nightmare to deal with.

7 time World Champion still, apparently Vettel got the better end in 2017 with Ferrari after all, and apart from that everything is the same; the same Abu Dhabi call, the same Verstappen world champion. Everything except Nico Rosberg. Nico Rosberg who is now 23 -- whose Google results only show his rise in feeder series, son of world champion Keke Rosberg, F1 hopeful. If the real Nico had just one WDC to his name, this one has nothing. He's just a kid. Lewis rationalises that it's just a kid who looks remarkably similar to his Nico. Because by the time they were 23, Nico had already known him for two decades by then. This Nico looks at him with the same awe and adoration he's gotten used to from fans; knows the power of it an icon of the sport, and none of the easy familiarity -- that he used to leverage for closeness. Lewis hates it.

Lewis makes a commitment to avoid Nico as much as possible, just like his real counterpart. It's harder, when you're on the same team; and oh, does he have experience with that. Nico is on his best behavior around the engineers, trying to get as much data out of the W-13. The W-13 isn't acting the way it should, the porpoising is insane, and that becomes Lewis' number one priority. He doesn't have time to hold some rookie's hand through his first run. In the back of his mind, he does feel a twinge of guilt that he would've had that patience for Russell, probably, or anyone else because just seeing Nico's face -- all hopeful and shy like he was waiting to approach -- just made Lewis walk away faster, avoiding seeing it go crestfallen and disappointed.

Sometimes, though, this Nico behaves exactly like his Nico, and it sets Lewis off kilter. He laughs exactly the same way, nose crinkling. He still has that scar above his eyebrow that he got while unicycling with Lewis in Greece, Lewis laughing while Nico had tripped over a rock but then got very serious when he saw the blood, with Nico laughing at him later at how concerned he got; calling it a battle scar. He frowns at it during the team meeting, Nico catching his eye once or twice and quickly looking away not being able to withstand the intensity and the scrutiny of being pinned under the eyes of the World Champion.

"How'd you get that scar?" Lewis tried to ask as naturally as he could, when the meeting ended.

Nico went pink, embarrassed, scratching his neck. "Uh, a cycling incident. When I was a kid. Fell off my unicycle. Promise I have better balance now!"

"Course you did." Lewis said under his breath with venom, walking out.

Nico had sat there confused what he did wrong. That had been their first actual conversation outside of work.

He wants to treat Nico like any other teammate but he can't. It's Nico. He tensed up when he heard him speaking in German in the garage and heard his name mixed in with the Deutsche, back to his old tricks again.

The mechanics told him later Nico had been appreciating his drive, a tenth quicker than Nico's best.

They have a preseason testing session in the rain. It is disastrous. Half the cars send it to the wall, everyone spins at least once; a few engines fail. Nico spins at the same spot a puddle made the Alpha Tauri crash, but he catches the car in the time somehow, doing a perfect 360.

"Did you see that?" He grinned, walking out, completely drenched and high off the adrenaline of not crashing a multimillion dollar car -- taking his his helmet off, messy wet blonde hair.

Lewis nodded in approval. "Not too bad." They always did try to one up each other at practice, and once upon a time it used to be fun; both in far better cars than the rest of the team so only had each other for competition, and Nico would always come running, ask if he was watching.

Nico fucking beamed at him. The sheer genuine joy of it took Lewis aback more than the pace of the Ferraris which were five tenths faster.

The tension is palpable before the first race. They know what W-13 is capable of -- and until it gets fixed, they're probably not competing for wins. Still, the pressure to do the best, to be the best is always on. Nico is nervous, Lewis can tell -- he looks nauseous the whole time, doesn't talk to too many people, a frown ever present on his now wrinkle free face. It's weird, when Lewis joined Mercedes Nico had already been here, hell he'd been kick Schumi's ass and it was upto Lewis to prove his worth to the team. He remembers his first F1 race. The nerves are something.

On Friday, before practice, Nico had turned to him unusually determined, eyes bright, and outstretched his hand.

"I know you don't really like me, but I'm going to prove myself to the team. And I hope we can be good teammates." Nico says, trying hard to sound adult and mature about it while not being able to look at Lewis in the eye.

Lewis shakes his hand. "I don't not like you." It was the most he could offer. This Nico did nothing to him. Hell, even his Nico at 23 did nothing to them -- they had shared Nico's first ever podium; he still remembers how happy they'd been. It's strange to think of "his Nico" when Nico Rosberg is right there in front of him, in the flesh. His Nico no longer exists. Lewis can't blame him for a ghost that only exists to haunt Lewis' memories.

This Nico Rosberg, young and with everything to prove, was taken aback but recovered quickly, nodding along.

They qualified 5th and 8th.

It takes until way too long for Lewis to finish on a podium. This car is not easy to love. Nico finishes ahead of him in points, and it's laughable how familiar these headlines are -- except where it used to be childhood friends, it's now young talent versus old guard, the classic Rosberg - Hamilton battle. This time, it could be different. Lewis is older, and wiser, and knows when to hand his iPad to Angela. The words slide off him easier too, after 2021 few things had capacity to really get in his head anymore. He remembers what it's like to resent Nico performing better than him; he struggles to feel that way anymore.

They make it on a double Mercedes podium in France. Dragging this shitbox to P2 and P3 was no easy feat, especially with the defence Nico played behind while Lewis tried to catch up to Max -- an impossible feat with this pace. Lewis empties the entire bottle on Nico's head, who takes it like a champ. He had forgot, Nico was always a champagne boy.

In the darkened halls of the Mercedes afterparty -- finally, the team having something to celebrate, Lewis wasn't surprised when Nico's body found his. It was impossible to ignore the reality, that Nico was beautiful again forever seared like this in Lewis' memory, following him around with perpetual starstruck puppy dog eyes and hanging onto every scrap of praise Lewis doled his way. He hadn't grown into the edge yet, didn't know Lewis like the back of his hand to hurt him. Vivian Sibold is an interior designer in her late 30's who never met her husband in a sandbox in Ibiza. Lewis doesn't feel guilty about it, he didn't stop it from happening then and he can't quite remember why he should now when Nico's mouth meets his, clever hands finding their ways across, bodies pressed together.

"Fuck, fuck, fuck Lewis," Nico moaned into the kiss, still as uselessly talkative while hooking up. Lewis had the foresight to take it to the bathroom. Nico sinks to his knees, still so pretty, looking at him through the bangs of his blonde hair falling over his eyes that Lewis brushed away. "I've--I've fucking dreamed of this. I had posters of you on my wall."

Fuck.

Lewis puts himself in Nico's mouth to stop himself from talking further. He gags a bit, no Schumacher to break him in. Lewis closes his eyes and fists his hair, and tries not to think about that no matter which universe a teenage Nico Rosberg has always jerked off to the thought of him. Posters of Lewis, huh. Mika's gonna be heartbroken. The universe has a way of fucking with him, but Lewis Hamilton always comes out on top.

Here's Part Two

#brocedes #F1 rpf #why is this a whole ass fic #blorbocedes ask #thank you anon this concept was very fun #if you've read up to this far you're obligated to shower me in compliments and also love #prompt ask #Lewis Hamilton x Nico Rosberg #my fics #rookie nico!au

[nabesthetics]

Soo, may I ask your honest opinion on the new tale, please? 🫢

Well.

I slept to reset my brain, went through some of the options I was missing, and the conclusion is still the same: it's… empty.

The plot: nothing happens

So these two go to the Magic Realms in search of a spell, supposedly get sent to the past, meet pre-plague Asra, get a vague warning about the spell being dangerous, find out that they didn't get sent to the past, and end up with a decision on using the spell or not.

If you cut out the fluff, look at only the plot side of it, we get two options: either the MC vaguely fucks up, or… nothing happens. Let's go through the latter first, since it's supposed to be the "good" ending.

So, option 1: they decide to not use the spell, the Magician gives them some other advice, and they go back to the Palace to tell everyone else that they need to.......clean up the beach. That's all they gain from this entire adventure.

Option 2: they ignore the warning, cast the spell, summon some monster, and we end up with an, again, very vague hint at "there are some other consequences".

That's it. This is… this is all that we gain, all that the characters gain. I guess in the "bad" ending there's a lesson of "don't use a fucking time-altering spell when your past self tells you not to", but we don't see the consequences, so this gives me nothing either. In the "good" ending we just get to carve a heart on that one poor tree.

The characters: DO Y'ALL FEEL ANYTHING??

This is the most weird part for me actually. Look, I don't think a short story needs some intricate plot to be good (although if it involves time travel yes it does but that's besides the point), but the characters have to react to things around them for the story to feel… to feel.

Asra and MC are too busy getting all over each other to express any sort of strong emotions. They have a stronger reaction to baby turtles than to time travel. Asra thinks that he meets his younger self, and he doesn't react. "Other Asra" (Coraline theme plays softly in the distance btw) is told about the incoming plague and he just kinda goes "damn". Other Asra also mentions that pre-plague MC is somewhere in the city, and it's never acknowledged by any of the characters!! You'd think the MC would at least have some thought about the opportunity to meet that version of themselves!!! But no. They nap about it.

The dialogue:

The plot: I have questions

We're never told why and how Asra really erased the spell from his memory. This could be fixed as simple as with a hint that he tried to use it once to bring the MC back, or to bring back their memories, or to fight the Plague, anything. But no it's reduced to "it's dangerous and forbidden time magic".

btw if it's forbidden why does babby Asra have it in his spellbook

So how on earth did MC and Asra talk to Past Asra and walk around Vesuvia if it's all supposed to be a memory/illusion/etc?

if there are hundreds of baby turtles hurried to get to the sea then it means that there are natural turtle predators in the Magic Realms. Entire realm animal ecosystems. In this essay I will—

Since when does the Magician just hand over entire spells? Or sea restoration instructions??

Scout literally didn't have to be there, leave the poor dog out of this

Conclusion: i'm tired

Look I don't want it to be bad. I'm not sitting on the edge of my seat hoping for Dorian to fail. I'm starved for content and would love nothing more than some actually good new tales from the "canon" sources. Hell, right until the "time travel illusion memory" hit, I was even hopeful! It didn't read great, but with some editing to the dialogue I did in my brain it was alright! But it all fell apart as soon as we got to the "meaty" part of the plot.

Will I read the rest? Well, Julian's and Lucio's for sure, the rest will probably depend on how others feel about them.

Idk how to end the post, that's it that's the opinion. I'm gonna go play with my dragons

Rewatching the Bahamut fight scene and finding the fact we never see Dion semi-prime a shame but also a fascinating small tid bit about his character, cause priming is seemingly directly tied to a Dominants stress response meaning this dude handled everything with such grace and just how good the dude is at seemingly repressing his emotions

But the moment he snaps in Sanbreque after he accidentally offs his dad is also a fascinating moment cause usually we see people semi-prime first. No, it's full on nuke everything mode. To me that signals a metaphorical snap in Dion's psyche of all the emotions he's held back thus far from the very beginning. The Ultimania stated that Dion awakened Bahamut at 1, and as far as I can tell awakening usually necessitates some form of priming or semi-priming. And given what we learn in the Rising Tide DLC? Bro. How did Sanbreque stop baby bahamut from destroying literally everything. My god. I wanna know. The boring answer is likely awakening does not necessarily bring about a priming, but I'm going to have fun with it anyway. Anyway this is a lot of words to say that Dion probably has immense emotional control and he's just built different(tm) Also he's the only other dominant Clive and Joshua have to fuse dance for other than Ultima so lmao. scrubs. you are wee babby in face of dragon daddy

#out of wyverntails;; #had some thoughts while at the gym #but is it really a final fantasy game if bahamut doesn't destroy at least one city / continent and commit various war crimes #the answer is no. #count how many games bahamut nukes a city state. I'LL WAIT.

I want your input on incentives!

I've got a few things I have to do now per last night's Randothon, and I wanna do stuff people will enjoy, so I'm opening the floor to anybody who's interested. Askbox is open and anon is on if you'd prefer!

-I gotta stream a horror game, what do y'all want? Gotta be on PC, ideally not for a bazillion dollars. I LIKE psychological horror, I really DON'T like body horror or gore, and I don't think I like jumpscares but I am willing to give them a shot because this is about pushing my limits for your entertainment. Be gentle with me, or don't, I dunno. I was initially envisioning trying out Goodbye Dr. Sanchez but I'm not sure if that "counts" and I'm also not sure I could rope in a collab partner for it. Then again I might try to recruit an emotional support guest anyway :P *waggles eyebrows at moots*

-I gotta stream a Kaizo game, what do y'all want? If left to my own devices I'll probably see if I can get Syobon Action going, but maybe there's a good babby's first romhack out there somebody can recommend? *waggles eyebrows at @jeadyvt *

-I gotta make an audio roleplay, what do y'all want? This is simultaneously the one I'm most excited about and the most awkward one, lol. I assume I'll write my own script. Do y'all want (a little) spice? Do y'all want romance? Do y'all want any particular tropes or settings? An ASMRtist I am not, but I do have a bit of acting background, and if I wanted to retain my dignity, well, maybe I should've thought of that before whiffing all four of my games~ If I get no input I'll just make something more natural and to my own tastes, which'll probably be some sorta saccharine flustered accidental confession subby friends to lovers something. My only thing is I think I wanna leave it as a gender-neutral listener. (but maybe I'll enjoy myself and make more specific stuff in the future?)

If any of those sound appealing I'd like to hear your opinions on 'em! Make me squirm a bit or let me off easy, your call!

#adaginfo #don't look too closely at that audio paragraph okay

bkg being an older dad is so <33 it's so cute when ppl write him in his 40s having a kid idk why but it's such a good concept n i luv it sm maybe it's just bc i like older men anyways bkg being 40 and having his first kid then next thing yk he's in his 50s n already had 5???? n the baku squad is like "how did this happen? we thought your spunk didn't work. 🤨"

AND older dad deku 💔💔 everyone thought he wasn't gonna have kids but when he's in his mid 40s he has his first kid and everyone is so shocked n surprised n the baby is the countries baby n everyone is so happy for y'all it's so <33

LITERALLY it’s one of my favorite dad concepts ever honestly🥺🥺🥺 I’m not sure if it’s obvious, but all dad bakugo stuff I write I’m imagining him as older when he has his first tbh. Another thing I could talk for years abt but I won’t bc I’m pretty sure I already have.

But LMAOOOO, the squad questioning him about it is so true!!! Cuz not only do they already have teenagers by this point, but he spent the past 15 years talking about how “kids aren’t that great!!!🙄” only to go back on his word the literal second his was born.

He honestly hatessss admitting they were right but when your second is on the way pretty soon after… yeah. He really has no choice ajdhdkj.

(Mostly just us lucky that the older kids like playing with your littles so much. Toting them around like any older siblings would).

I also think one argument for him having a lot of kids too is … he’s deffff super sentimental about it, so if you happen to pull out a newborn onesie when trying to put together outfits for the kids… he’s getting really emotional over it and it gets super easy to convince him to have another LOL. And ofc this ends up happening more than once.

(Just the other day I was thinking about that one tik tok someone sent me on IHB, about being able to make bakugo cry if you tease him w/ baby socks that don’t fit your toddler anymore.)

AND DEKU TOO….. It almost makes even more sense for him than bakugo, tho I really think they both have older dad vibes. Probably the thing happens where you’re pregnant at the exact same time as the other’s wife, and deku and bakugo are lowkey beefing over the fact that it happened for both of them literally… synchronized. Or at least about who’s baby is bigger hdhrjskdjkf. But it also ends up being good bc then they do have a cousin their own age, too🧡🧡🧡

Plus, yeah!!! The country’s baby…….. the country’s favorite dad, too😢 Hardly anyone would’ve predicted it about five years back, but as soon as you’re ready, there’s whole spreads on deku introducing your babby to the world cuz people just can’t get over it. And inko is so incredibly happy, too. Loves all three of you beyond words cuz she never thought she’d get to be a grandma🥺🥺🥺

I JUST ADORE THESE CONCEPTS SO MUCH!!!!

#bakugo #deku #no but bakugo or deku with a baby when kiri has a 16 year old… I LAUGH #sorry if this answer sucks I am just incapable of being a person thinking about it #hfjsjfjdifjfll #kids tw #pregnancy tw #caitie things #anon

Hey! Really wanted you to know how much I enjoyed your last Alfie fic!! I was so emotional near the end, you are really talented❤️ I love the way you write Alfie, we see nothing of his personal life and we know nothing about his inner self, but when I was reading your work I could really feel like it was him. Can’t explain how much it touched me, really. Thanks SO SO MUCH for sharing it with us, you’re really talented❤️

Dear anon,

First of all, thank you so much for checking out my work! It’s a huge compliment to know it touched you as much as it did.😸

We indeed know very little about Alfie so I really like to imagine what he’d be like and what he could (canonically) wrestle with when placed in our time. He’s generally fascinating to try and write, a lovely challenge.

I have another story in the works called Siúil á Rún which is told from Alfie’s POV. It shows his inner self and personal life a lot more so hopefully you’ll like that one too. I don’t yet know when I’ll publish it because I’m currently working overtime, which leaves me with little time and motivation to edit.😅

Nevertheless, the goal is to publish it before Christmas. So keep your peepers peeled and once again a massive thank you from the bottom of me wee babby heart.🥰

I just learned about Pair Up. I didn't have Legendary characters when I first checked it out, but it's kinda cute!

My own personal emotional support babby. Tho I'll probably use a different character since Bab Lucius is on the same team as her for my violence team haha. I'll find someone else to give her... Maybe one of my extra ikes?
