I haven't written anything in awhile and I'm busy 😔

but if you wanna write anything about or with these go ahead!! I'd love to read your take! Or whatever you decide to write for it

(YOU ASKED FOR THIS, I cut some of the darker(?) things drugs, drinking etc. But they are teens who we do know go to parties and act dumb 💀 (me fr))

Also she's a bit out of character...

1. * Perv/stalker Lottie who installed (VERY expensive) cameras in your house to watch you sleep, change, or just go about your day, who has a picture/screenshot of one of the recordings as her wallpaper, and listens to you sleep, or when you get yourself off she... follows. Like a dance, just your moans as music... And you don't know you have a partner, but that's fine for now...

(starting off with a bang)

2. * Stalker Lottie who refuses to sleep after a party unless your home and safe. if you come home with anyone, to sleep with or not, she would make that person's life hell, like one of those, "Do you know who my father is?" Kids. But she actually refuses to talk with or about her father. Just that thing rich kids do in the movies (she either follows you home, drives you home, or immediately goes home to watch her camaras)

3. * Stalker Lottie who has photos of you that she keeps with her at all times just to be like "😄Look at my girlfriend!" and if someone corrects her she's like "My girlfriend nonetheless. 😒" basically her exact reaction: 😄 - 😧 - 😐

4. * Stalker Lottie who wears outfits just to get your attention, even if it makes you feel bad checking her out, she will and does do the same to you, she just does NOT feel bad.

(once she actually starts talking with you↓)

5. * Stalker Lottie who will wake up earlier (IF she sleeps, girls an insomniac she sometimes just watches you) just to drive to your house and drive you to school, mostly on days you guys have practice, better excuse, but sometimes she just can't help it like on really cold days, or hot days! or a night after you've drank to much (she told you to drink more, for that exact reason). Honestly she will find any reason to pick you up.

6. • she will cuddle you, at a party, on the bench at practice, movie night with everyone, you cannot get her off of you. it's like a surgically attached teddy bear. Honestly you can't complain she's really warm, and soft, her lotion smells like rich girl Jasmine type stuff with a hint of lavender. Very earthy but also like a dream? Killer hidden by pretty smells and expensive outfits ❤️❤️

7. • if the movie night is ever at your house, your stuff WILL be gone. Sometimes random things other times whole outfits (considering how tall this woman is, it's always baggy stuff.). Which she will wear to school. Even if it's not something you'd be able to visibly see... and if you ever question how she got clothes that looks (is exactly) like what's missing (Even accessories) she just brushes it off saying something about a thrift store(TJ max 💀) and if you drink during the stay she will tell you drunk you gave it to her so you don't ask to many questions.

8. • has all your pictures from social media saved, even your pets, And she will make it her goal to pamper your pets and you. if you want a pet but can't get one she will have it at her house so you want to visit more.

Anyway I have like a lot of these cause I was bored🏃💨

— 🐞

omgggg 🫣 i loved them so much

1. this is so real, she’d put those thousands of dollars to good use 😌 she’d spend hundreds of them into the best surveillance just to look at you for her own amusement. she’d also install life360 on ur phone 😭

2. so true LMFAO if she drives u she’d wait until u’re inside your house and texted her to leave, and if u leave with someone else, she’d triple text you and them until she makes sure u’re home safe (she’d even ask for a selfie if u’re not that wasted 😭). she’d also check life360 and just stare at the little car moving until it gets to your house 😭

3. SHE’D KEEP THEM IN HER WALLET, PURSE, LOCKER, PHONE CASE, EVERYWHERE I JUST KNOW IT

4. she’d buy lots of very short skirts and crop tops just for you to look at her 🫣 she’d even gift you a bunch so she gets to stare at you as well

5. she fr just got her license to drive you cuz i’m 100% sure she has a chauffeur 😭 she wouldn’t even ask she’d just be like “see you at the parking lot.”

6. she’d definitely smell SO good 😭 and she’d have her hands on you at all times, even if it’s just subtly, but there’d always be a part of her body in contact with yours

7. the worst part about it is that u wouldn’t even question it cuz why would a rich girl steal ur stuff? LMFAOO (unless she’s obsessed with u, of course ☠️)

8. she’d be asking questions about your pets and u’d be like “how did you know?” and she’d be like “ohh, you told me about it like a week ago” (she actually found out cuz she stalks your mom’s facebook every other day)

Thoughts on Houseki no Kuni chapter 98 (Spoilers)

Okay so i actually loved this chapter, i may or may not have shed a couple tears but who's asking right. I personally was on the side of Phos taking revenge because honestly I'm a vindictive person and i like Phos not because i feel they did nothing wrong but because i feel even through all their actions i can understand why, even if Phos were not the protagonist but an antagonist, they're the kind I'd root for. But moving on.

The fact they started off with this is such an epic power move tbh, it shows they are completely aware of their godhood, aware of the power that lies in their scribbly little hands and aware of all the possibilities they could make happen with it. This points shows that whatever Phos does is their decision and their decision alone because at this point they are above any sort of manipulation and i have always thought regardless my personal convictions that I've always wanted Phos to have a choice.

This panel made me very emotional because it is nothing but the truth. Phos has always been fundamentally different and with that came an ever present sense of loneliness and also made them the prime subject for this entire thing, even if they had taken a different path i don't think this singular fact would've changed.

I won't lie i was a tad bit upset about this cause i really did want Phos to spit in all their faces but i read over it again and pondered, and then i realized there is no forgiveness here, at least how I interpreted it.

They're praying for them not with a sense of complete forgiving selflessness or a sense of duty and obligation but because they've all been miserable for so long, all of them have been miserable in some way for so long and they're so tired, so tired that neither forgiveness nor revenge mean anything anymore, nothing can ever fix this or remove what has already happened so its better for all of them like this.

At this point i had infact manufactured enough tears to fill up a decent sized kitchen mug, because this was what baby Phos had wanted through their transformations, to be understood, a sense of belonging and oneness but look at all it took to get here. The events of this chapter may not feel like much, to some it might even feel anticlimatic but by God is it cathartic as fuck.

I know this isn't the end even though it feels like it is so honestly i cant wait to see what else Ichikawa wants to do to us. Because we haven't seen what being Phos's version "prayed away" entails, maybe its something none of us expect, i mean we did just see a big explosion but that's just me thinking, also what does it mean for the species, what about any Lustrous that might be formed again?. Guess we wont know till the next chapter~

#houseki no kuni #chapter 98 #houseki no kuni spoilers #phosphophillyte #it feels like the end #but i know it isn't #ichikawa what else can you do to me #atp hnk is like my monthly dose of healthy misery #it comes back and i know my heart is gonna go through it one way or the other #hnk

Robert 'Bob' Floyd x f/Reader (18+)

Warnings: Some swearing. Descriptive sexual acts. Minors do not read. Unprotected sex. Fingering. Public sex.

Is Bob a bit OC? Yes? Do I care? Nope because I am convinced he would be the one to take charge in the bedroom with someone who he loves.

Just like all my other stories, this has not been proofread, but please enjoy.

Gifs & photos do not belong to me. Also the photo is just to show the tattoo and not what I am picturing the reader to look like.

Main Masterlist ♡ Top Gun Maverick Masterlist ♡ Robert 'Bob' Floyd Masterlist

Summary: Bob has been acting weird lately and Rooster and Hangman have actually noticed. So the two of them decide to go snooping in his personal belongs to figure out what is wrong with him.

Rooster's POV:

"Will you shut up and actually do your damn job for this mission." I hissed at Hangman who was just casually walking around the room.

The room of our friend Bob. I mean, we are only doing this because we are such good friends with him.

He has been acting weird lately, anxious I would say.

Shit, even Hangman was able to pull his head out of his ass long enough to notice that something wasn't right with our quiet friend.

"He won't be back for another thirty minutes. We have plenty of time." He was probably right, but we have no good reason to even be in here and if we get caught...

I didn't even want to think about what would happen.

The two of us continued to look around, trying to figure out some clue to why he is acting weird.

"It has to be whatever he got in the mail that day. Remember, he was fine until he got a box and then bam, an even quieter Bob." I said to Hangman.

"Do you remember what the box even looked like?"

"I think it was just a shoe box." I looked under the bed while Hangman looked in the closet.

"Found it." Hangman called out a few minutes later. I quickly got off my hands and knees I was still looking under the bed.

"Open it. We don't have much time." I went to grab the box, but he moved it away out of arms reach.

"Shit Rooster, have some patience. No need for that." He just chuckled as I glared at him. Hangman opened the lid and threw it on the bed behind him.

I watched as his eyes got real wide at whatever was in the box. "What the hell is it?"

"I can't even explain this. Seems like our Bob is a bit of a pervert."

"What?" He handed me the box and I was stunned at what I saw inside. Photos of a naked woman and it seems to be just only of one woman.

Her tattoo was the dead give away.

But the two of us didn't have time to look at the photos. Not when we knew Bob would be back soon.

"Shit, we have to get out of here." Hangman said. I thought about putting the box back but Hangman grabbed the lid from the bed and placed it on the box.

The two of us ran from the room, making sure the door behind us was closed.

"You don't think he is stalking someone do you?" Hangman asked me as the two of us sat on my couch, staring at the box that was on my coffee table.

"Maybe? I don't know. It is just tons and tons of photos of one woman."

"Maybe he is paying for the photos?"

"Nah, I don't think so. He doesn't seem like the type to do that." I said.

"Or maybe is is fucking her. He never says where he is going when he leaves us and look at this one photo."

Hangman looked through the box until he pulled out the photo he was looking for. "Even though you can't see his face completely, they are the same damn eyes."

He handed me the photo and I quietly groaned at what I was looking at. It was a photo of a man between the mysterious woman's legs.

One of her hands was in the guys hair, probably grinding her pussy against his mouth, and he was looking up at her.

"Yeah, I have to agree with you. Almost the same eyes, but come on. You really think Bob would do this?"

I held up a photo to prove my point. The guy who I am convinced is not Bob, is gucking the woman from behind. Her arms are pulled back and he is holding on to her wrists with one hand.

You can clearly see in the photo that the woman had a heart shaped butt plug inserted into her ass.

"Yeah, he seems to vanilla to do any of the stuff in this box. So I guess he is just a pervert?"

"I guess so Hangman. Shit, how are we going to confront him about this?"

That night we found Bob playing pool with the others. Hangman and I stood opposite of Bob, knowing he would look up to say hi.

But his face seemed to go pale when he saw what was in my hands.

The box.

Robert 'Bob' Floyd's POV

I looked up to acknowledge the two men as it would be rude not too, but the moment I saw what was in Rooster's hands, I pretty much felt like I was going to faint.

I slammed the cue stick on the pool table, not caring at this moment about the stares from my peers at my little out burst.

"Where did you get that?" I asked as politely as I could.

"Look man, we were concerned about you. You have been acting a bit odd ever since you got this and we needed to know what was up." Rooster said I walked around the table towards them.

"You invaded my privacy."

"Only cause we can man." Hangman said.

"I should report the two of you for breaking into my room and stealing from me." I said to the two of them.

"How about we go somewhere private and talk, yeah?" Rooster suggested, trying to calm me down, but I just took the box from his hands and left the room.

I heard them following behind me and they were calling for me to stop, but I didn't. They did catch up to me though.

"Come on Bob, we just want to talk. Why do you have all those photos?" I stopped walking and turned to face them.

"What do you mean?" Isn't it obvious?

"Well, the guy isn't you, we can clearly see that and she is way too hot to be with someone like you." Hangman stated.

"So you two think I just have a box full of photos of some random woman?" I couldn't believe my eyes as I watched these two men nod their head yes.

I didn't say another word to the two of them. I left them standing there, not wanting to talk to them anymore.

That night we went to the bar. I was completely ignoring the two men even though they did everything for me to talk to them it felt like.

But my eyes were focused on the door. She was coming tonight. It has been almost three months since I have seen her.

I took my eyes off the door for thirty seconds to answer Paybacks question when I heard someone a few guys whistle and whoever just walked into the room.

I didn't even have to look to know that it was YN, my girlfriend since the summer after highschool.

The love of my life.

The woman of my dreams.

The woman who is in the very same photos that are in the box.

Rooster and Hangman turned around when they heard the whistles and I almost laughed when they finally saw her.

She looked around the bar and once her sight landed on me, YN was in my arms before I could even blink.

"Bobby." She smiled at me before she kissed me. Her hands were cupping my face and my hand was on her lower back, wanting to cup her ass in my hand, but I respected her to much.

"No fucking way." Hangman voice had me pulling my lips away from YNs.

"You two must Rooster and Hangman. Bobby has told me so much about you." YN said to them, with what looked like a kind smile to everyone else, but I knew she was faking it.

I told her what they did. She didn't care all that much about them seeing us in our most intimate acts, but she did care that they invaded my privacy and told me she was too damn hot to be with someone like me.

"He did?" They both said nervously.

"Yes, so much."

"Be nice." I whispered to her. My hand was gripping her hip tightly and she knew I wasn't playing.

She cleared her throat and then I introduced her to the others around the table.

YN has calmed down enough that she was now having a civil conversation with Rooster, but during this conversation she has moved so she was sitting on my lap instead of next to me.

I had to fight to keep my eyes open as her ass rubbed against my cock. I already knew she wasn't wearing anything under her skirt.

I rested my hands on her thighs as I had the intense urge to touch her some how, but as time went on, I needed to touch her a different way.

YN didn't notice that my hand is now moving up her thigh, not until I inserted not one but two of my fingers in her soaked pussy.

Her breath hitched slightly but she just cleared her throat and continued talking.

"So YN, how did you end up with Bob anyway?" Fanboy asked.

YN was just about to mention how the two of us met when I slowly started to move my fingers a bit faster. I was knuckles deep in her pussy and I needed to stretch her out.

"We met after highschool. We were working at the mall when we first met." The last word turned into a moan.

"Are you okay love?" I asked her.

"Mmhmm." Was her reply.

"Continue on baby. It sounds better when you tell it." YN started the story once more. Half way through the story, she placed her hand on top of mine, trying to pull my hand away from her pussy.

My other hand gave her a slap on the thigh as a warning. She was close and she knew it. I knew it, but just as she was about to cum all over my fingers infront of everyone, I withdrew my fingers from her pussy.

I needed her now.

"Can you get up love? Need to use the washroom." She got off of me and I stood up. I squeezed her hand and tapped her palm, letting her know to follow behind me in a few minutes.

I didn't have to wait long for her to appear in the bathroom. YN made sure that the door was locked behind her.

I pulled her into my arms and smashed my lips against her, the two of us moaning at the intense kiss.

As the two of us were still kissing, I moved us around so her back was against the counter.

"Turn around love and bend over." YN did as I asked and she flipped up her skirt. She wiggled her ass a bit as she knew I was looking right at it.

I unbuckled my pants and pulled them and my boxers down just enough to free myself. I groaned as the cool air hit my cock.

"Hurry up Bobby." YN demanded. Well that just won't do.

Two hard slaps to her ass had her back arching and a cry leaving her lips. "Be patient YN." A whimper was her response.

I gripped my cock in one hand and ran just the tip through her folds to get it nice and wet. She was already dripping before we came in here.

We made eye contact in the mirror and just as I covered her mouth, I slammed into her pussy. Her muffled scream had me groaning her name.

"YN, missed you, missed this." I told her as I started off with a brutal pace. We didn't have much time and I needed to cum.

I felt her lips move against my hand. I moved my hand from her mouth and she moaned that she missed me too.

The only sounds in the small space of the washroom were the music and me pretty much bouncing off of her ass.

"Bobby so close." YN moaned. I watched as her eyes closed, her head was flung back and I could feel her pussy getting tighter around my cock.

Then the pounding on the door started but that didn't stop me. If anything it turned me on even more.

I moved one hand from her hip and reached around to grip her throat. I needed her to finish before me.

I pulled her back against my chest and was biting and nibbling on her neck. I found that one spot that always makes her moan.

"Need to feel you pretty girl. Cum for me and I'll give you want." I growled in her ear.

With a shout of my name, YN came. My name falling from her lips like a pray.

"No fucking way that is them in there." I heard someone say through the washroom door.

My thrusts were starting to falter. I let go of her throat and pulled out of her pussy. YN sunk to the ground and opened her mouth for me as I jerked myself off.

I grunted her name as she wrapped her lips around the head of my cock and placed her hands on my thighs.

I lost it when she looked up at me. I moaned out her name as I came in her mouth. YN never once looked away as rope after rope of my cum went into her mouth.

I pulled my cock out of her mouth. YN's mouth stayed open and she was waiting for me to say it.

"Swallow." She quickly swallowed and opened her mouth to show that it was all gone.

"Are you two done? Shit there are other people who need in there." Someone screamed.

"Come here pretty girl, let's get you all fixed up."

We tried to fix her hair and her makeup as best as we could but it was no use.

So YN grabbed my hand and opened the door. Standing on the other side of the door was none other than Hangman and Rooster.

And the two both had a combination of shock, pride and disgust on their faces.

"Let's get out of here Bobby. I'm tired." YN said as we walked past the two.

"Did they?" I heard Rooster ask.

"They did. Who knew he had it in him?" Hangman said.

"I did." YN called back.

The two guys broke out in laughter and that soon faded as we walked through the bar to finally get some actually alone time.

Stardew Mod Ideas I'm Working On

(And a few I'm thinking about)

1. Skylar NPC (WIP)

This is just me adding my farmer OC into Stardew as a friendable NPC. I started it as a personal thing for fun, but then people convinced me to actually share it so

Completed Things

Ridgeside Village Compatability

Generic Dialogue

A basic schedule

Gift Tastes

Festival Additions

Festival Dialogue

Dynamic Outfits (Seasonal/Location Based)

Sprite Animations

Things I need to add

Movie and Concession Tastes

Movie Dialogue

Dynamic Dialogue

Dynamic Schedule (don't want them hanging out in their friends' houses if you married their friends)

Schedule/Animation Dialogue

Heart Events (Still working on backstory/storyline details)

A map for their farm house (Sky just lives with Victor right now)

Compatability with East Scarp?

Compatability without Ridgeside Village (I made it to work with both Expanded and Ridgeside Village. Expanded is necessary, but RSV shouldn't have to be)

Future Plans

Adding Rhys the Fruit Bat as an NPC (I see many of you are fond of him)

Adding an event with Abby post her family event

Dynamic Festival Dialogue

Compatability with following mods

2. Foods I really want rn

(Call it a working title if you will.)

This mod is me adding foods that I like to the game. Most of it being Asian dishes + a few drinks I like.

Featuring

Foods

Spring Rolls

Summer Rolls

Pho

Bánh Mi

Bao Buns

Tofu (not sure if this is part of another mod already or not)

Green Bean Cassrole

Lychee Jelly

Chocolate

Potato Soup

Drinks

Hot Chocolate

Mocha

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Peppermint Mocha

Peppermint Tea

Crops I'll probably need to add

Soybeans (Maybe? Might also be in another mod)

Mint

Carrots

Cucumber

Lychee

Persimmon

Cocoa Bean

That's all I've got for that one. It will take me a lot of research so it's very much on the back burner for now.

3. Rival Heart Events

I've gotten kind of fond of these for other characters so I figured it would be fun to do it for mine.

Featuring

Sam and Sky

Lance and Sky (Don't expect anyone to use this. I mean why wouldn't you want to date him yourself)

Sam, Lance and Sky (don't expect this to be used for the same reason as above)

Victor and Sky (but Queerplatonically)

Each of these contains a few events and schedule/dialogue changes for the characters involved, eventually resulting in them moving into Sky's farmhouse.

4. Add Lance to Festivals (WIP)

I know Lance joins festivals when you're married, but since I'm making rival heart events, I think it would be cool to add him in once he reaches 6 hearts like some of the other NPCS.

This also leaves him open for more dynamic dialogue.

Featuring

Generic Dialogue

Dating Dialogue

Engaged Dialogue

Married Dialogue

Rival Heart Dialogue

Addition to Resolution of Embers Festival

Commentary from Skylar

Here are some images from when I was testing. (Please ignore their incorrect positions and the fact they Skylar's sprite is wrong lmao)

Skylar's Spirit's Eve Dialogue

Lance at Festivals Dialogue

5. Skylar to NPC Adventures (Almost Complete)

I know I've talked about this one before, but adding Skylar as a companion for the NPC Adventures mod!

Featuring dialogue for multiple locations including Vanilla Areas and Expanded.

Currently working on adding dialogue for Ridgeside and East Scarp, and determining if Skylar should be a spiritual pacifist (keeps monsters from attacking for a period of time) or a warrior to help with combat.

6. Kent to NPC Adventures (low-key abandoned wip, but I might pick it back up)

Same thing as above tbh, but for Kent because he's a member of the Adventurer's Guild and my dad and I want to go on expeditions and fish, and he deserves it! [End rant]

Things I still need to do

Write dialogue for more locations (difficult because I don't see Kent as someone who talks a lot)

Add a fishing animation (idk how to do this, someone please help if you know)

That's all I have going right now. I hope this was enlightening for anyone who was curious.

#farmer skylar #custom npc #rhys the fruit bat dog #stardew valley #stardew #stardew valley expanded #ridgeside village #ridgeside #rsv #sdv #sve #sdv kent #stardew kent #stardew valley kent

ok I think I'm late to the tormenting Sage party but what if...pre-relationship Sage and MC go to a bar together and (he thinks) he sees them checking someone out so he decides to be their wingman bc he's a good friend :) who definitely doesn't have feelings for them look this proves it :)) he's a total genius and there's absolutely no way this plan will backfire :)))

(turns out MC was just zoning out or w/e, oops)

also your writing is amazing and I hope you're having a nice day!

It's never too late for torturing Sage

GN!Reader, mentions of alcohol (Sage is tipsy), thank you for this idea I'm definitely gonna use it for my OC at some point, Oblivious!MC, red text = Sage's POV

It's been a long day. You and Sage chased your bounty halfway through Porrima before finally managing to corner them in an alley, and the ensuing fight had really drained your energy. So when Sage wants to go for his customary post-hunt drinks, you're dragging your feet.

Gods, you want a nap.

But you go to the bar and plop down in a booth and let Sage order for you while you prop your chin on your hand and zone out.

You could be sleeping right now. You could be in bed, cuddling a pillow, snoring and drooling and dreaming about your life back on Earth or the mystery of Ex Nihilo or what would happen if Stella's hairballs became sentient.

'Oz are you seriously linking to an old ass post?' Yes I am it was my first scenario and I'm proud of it and I have no sense of shame

Anyways when Sage comes back, touting two full mugs of frothing beer, it's with a wagging tail and red cheeks and a smile.

How could he not be happy? He got to spend all day with you! Showing you around Porrima, enjoying a sunny afternoon, totally checking you out, it's been a win in his book. And getting his favorite drink with his favorite person is probably his favorite way to wind down.

So of course he's happy as he walks back to you.

But then he sees you.. staring. There's a look on your face so soft and relaxed that it nearly makes him swoon. But you aren't looking at him no matter how fervently he wishes you were. You're looking.. at...

Someone at the bar?

Hm.

You're interested in someone. That... Was... Inevitable. Wasn't it? You're stuck in this world for potentially forever. Of course you're gonna take an interest. And it's none of his business anyways.

Actually. Know what? It is his business. He's your friend. :) And friends help friends get laid with people other than their friends. :) And friends don't feel weird or jealous at all! :)) Friends are happy for their friends! :)))

Huh. He doesn't like that word as much as he used to.

In any case, he has to wingman for you. You deserve at least a night of fun, y'know? So he takes a moment to switch into wingman mode - it's not a role he plays often, but it's even harder this time - and strides over to the object of your apparent desires to introduce himself.

Meanwhile you're sitting in the booth totally spacing out.

D'you remember Chia pets? What the fuck were those even about? How is that a toy?

It feels weird for Sage to not flirt. Even weirder for him to not-flirt for the sake of you getting to flirt.

Y'know what sounds good? Nachos. Or pho. Or a smoothie.

Sage slyly gauges his rival's your sudden LI's interest level in you. Damn. It's high.

It's raining outside. Thunder cracks and lightning flashes through the window. Though the outside is cold, the inside of the tavern is warm and filled with chatter, laughter, and music. You're glad Sage brought you here. You really want some bread.

Well it's Sage's job to set you up, so he invites the person back to your table.

World. Cold. Hard. Sage's Tiddies. Warm. Sof-

You're distracted from your thoughts when Sage finally returns, setting the drinks down. And someone is following him. And they're looking at you.

...... ?

You try to keep up with the conversation but Sage keeps throwing it to you, forcing you to speak up when you still don't fully get what the fuck is happening.

Sage doesn't... Actually... Know this person...? He just br... brought them over for... why, again? Neither of them wanna give you a proper answer so you just gotta deal with it ig.

But then he seems to almost be competing with everything they say in a way that suggests he doesn't even want them here. So.

Sage is smiling way too much. His tail is stiff. You know him well enough to tell that he's upset, though you're not quite sure why.

You're also not quite sure why this person keeps flirting with you. You're trying to send off 'disinterested please back off' vibes but they don't seem to be landing. You end up shooting Sage a discreet annoyed look, hoping he'll get the hint and drag his new 'friend' away.

Oh. You look annoyed. He must be talking too much. That's his fault. A wingman is supposed to set up the conversation, then leave.

He pats the table and gets up, claiming he needs another drink and he really honestly does because this whole scenario is making him feel all weird and uncomfortable and he's too sober to deal with it. He pats his rival's your LI's shoulder and tells them to play nice (no there's totally not a threatening growl under his words) before leaving for the bar.

Well.

That was pretty much the opposite of what you wanted.

You try to pay attention to what this person is saying but so much of it is stupid pick-up lines that, hey, could be charming if you already had an interest! Like if Sage used one of these? It'd still be stupid, but it'd be a cute stupid that you'd laugh at while calling him a dork.

Right now it's just borderline painful.

It doesn't help that the newcomer is clearly getting frustrated at your lack of reaction. Why were they expecting you to be into them? Man, maybe you shoulda been paying more attention to that conversation earlier.

Well it looks like you're having fun! And Sage :) is so :) godsdamn :) happy for you :) he totally isn't gripping the handle of his tankard so tightly it's starting to splinter in his palm :) that would be ridiculous :) he's your :) friend :) and that's it :)

The intruder finally - finally! - takes the fucking hint and gets up to leave. "When your friend said you were interested, he didn't tell me you were such a frigid asshole."

..... Huh?

Oh. Your LI is leaving. And they don't look happy. You must have turned them down.

When Sage comes back, he's all smiles. Instead of sitting across the table like a normal person, he plops down next to you and throws his arm around your shoulder.

Wow you can smell the liquor on him. Must be buzzed.

"So, what happened?"

You take the mug out of his hand and set to the side, ignoring his confused/distressed whine. "Did you try to set me up?"

His cheeks were already red from the alcohol but his tail flicks, so you can tell he's at least a little flustered. "Yeah. You were starin' at 'em, and I figured you deserved a fun night."

You roll your eyes a little, then reach up and scratch behind his ears. "Dumbass. I was already having a fun night. With you."

..... He looks away and mumbles about you being a dork, but he can't get the smile off his face.

Take my Ramblings on how I think relationships work between the Lustrous because 2/3 of my personality is made up of these gems' dynamics

So before I get into the main meat of what I think, I should probably talk about the families. first of all. I think that the families can have romantic relations between each other. Insert booing and rocks being thrown. Okay wait! let me explain myself before ya'll start abusing your rocks you heathens. basically, this is gonna get into territory that i'm not fully equipped to explain, so you know how the "Uchihas" from naruto are? they basically inbreed with eachother ya know but they still aren't fully related at all so they can have healthy kids but they still share the same dna, you could even say they share the same "structure"? yeah, thats basically how I think the gem family relationships are. they do share the same structure and name and call themselves family but they don't have to restrict themselves to JUST being siblings, they can be lovers too. they can call themselves "brothers" while being romantically involved. they aren't like us and they don't share the factor that we could produce unhealthy offspring if they are involved with their sibling, since they can't have children nor do they have blood!!(thankfully, since that would be insanely gorey) and I may be wrong but I don't think that the term for "Brother" in japan is only limited to siblings. fact check me if i am in fact wrong please.(Btw i'm not in the naruto fandom at all, I've just watched some theory videos and watched some video essays, also i watched a few episodes of naruto when I was younger)

Now, before I get myself hit with more rocks. time to talk about how I believe the gems' relationships are. mainly the romantic ones since tbr, romantic relations are some of the most complicated things ever and that's probably why we're so drawn to them (sorry romance nonfavorable/romance repulsed aromantics, you will be missed)

I personally think that romance in the lustrous world, is actually incredibly discouraged. these gems can still enter romantic relations but it is incredibly discouraged because, we have seen what happens when these gems lose that person that they love.

They go absolutely crazy. they even break themselves. and this is off topic but now that I think about it, Diamond and Bortz's relationship is like how trans people see other trans people who look more like what they want to look like, at least from what I've heard from some videos on youtube. and ngl, its kinda scary- anyways, back mostly on topic with Rutile. I've recently watched RGU(Revolutionary Girl Utena) and tbh, how Rutile treats Padparadscha kinda reminds of how Utena treats Anthy. Utena practically puts Anthy on a pedestal and wants to help Anthy end her job as the Rose Bride even though, Utena practically knows nothing about Anthy because Utena projects what she thinks is right onto Anthy, although it isn't entirely off, Utena doesn't even try to understand Anthy. JUST LIKE FREAKING RUTILE AND PADPARADSCHA- Rutile and Utena practically lose their identity when they lose Padparadscha and Anthy. just- UGH it's so good. Now time to stop talking about Rutile, and go to our very shiny friend and my Autoromantic/Panromantic/Polyamorous headcanon, being Diamond, since they were the one to bring up the fact that Cinnabar may have Romantic feelings for our beloved Phosphophyllite.

Dang both Ventricosus and Diamond ship CinnaPhos. they can't get a break lol. especially with most of the fandom practically shipping them lmaooo. And this is just a little headcanon but I think Diamond used that "Are you gay?" card on Cinnabar when Cinnabar was rambling about how much they "despise" Phos because that's practically what happens when these gems lose the ones they love. They probably start blaming the ones that got taken before they start blaming themselves because it practically starts becoming a pattern in Yellow's case. omg now I can imagine Yellow just talking about their romances with their former partners lol. and now that I think about it, Yellow did blame Zircon for being an idiot for trying to save Yellow, more toned down than Cinnabar's rant and how much of an idiot Phos was but still, that stings. and now this has become not just a little headcanon and more of a parallel it seems. wow, how we can change during writing.

ALSO DID ANYONE ELSE FEEL INCREDIBLY SAD WHEN THE GEMLUNARIAN THING THAT WAS KISSING DIAMOND IN THE PARTY AT THE END ARTBOOK WASN'T ACTUALLY NAMED!?

WE WANNA KNOW WHO YOU ARE!!!

Also- possible romance between Aqua and Emerald???

Eh probably. anyways ima end this tangent even tho ima probably gonna get a lot of backlash from the people in this fandom for my controversial opinions but that's fine, hopefully. yeah no i'm probably gonna get murdered.

Sooo, minecraft, Right?

Some poorly-photographed images of @neonsix67 and I's minecraft realm! (More info below the cut :3)

She's working on Spawn rn, and like the lil freeloader I am I staked claim to the shipwreck just off from spawn and decided it was my new home. I'm refurbishing it, adding sails and a secret base beneath it, etc.

It's themed around Elementals, and so she's got Earth and I've got Water thus-far!

Some note-worthy things:

-There's an Ocean Monument like, within eyesight of my Ship. It's a lil horrifying because I simply want Sea Pickles and constantly accidentally swim into it lmao-

-Neon is great at terraforming, so she's been working on getting Spawn all pretty (Ex. The brightly lit spot in all the photos.) It's looking great so far!

-I have two parrot sons who live on my ship now! We spawned in a Jungle biome so I picked them up :). Their names are Camillo (white/yellow) and Lance (blue/green).

-My ship is small and I can't build to save my life, so I have a series of tunnels in the ground under my ship (under the sea too) where I have my actual base :D.

-I never wear armor, mostly because my reactionary instinct is to just perish. I'm lost? There's a lot of monsters? Ran out of sprint? Easy, just take fall damage and teleport home! (We don't have keep inventory on, I'm just a maniac.)

-I also have a habit of just silently approaching Neon and standing there until she notices my avatar. As a person w/ an Enderman-adjacent skin, I expect this to get me killed at least once, or desensitize others to actual enderman. I never said who's side I was on :3

-Also, almost 100% certain now that Pho's lore is that she's actually more like a Drowned than an Enderman, because she might've been an enderman before, but by now she's very much built for surviving in water mermaid-style. If she's w/o it for too long is bad. (Lowkey my excuse as to why I just take fall damage and die. Like, nooooo, I didn't just trip down three cliffs, I just diedrated cuz I didn't hydrate-)

Hiya! Sharky here! okay, so, many things have happened in my week - first than anything, I realised my lack of social abilities is not as bad when I am chatting with someone through social media (clearly), and luckily, that also includes gym girl! but enough of calling her gym girl. Her name is Charlie! well, it's actually Charlotte, but that's her nickname!! I could tell you my name but I actually like the nickname sharky because I love sharks, besides I need to keep the mystery!

I took Charlie to an aquarium! We got food first (never have I felt so guilty for eating sushi lol) and then we had lunch there! Then I took her to get icecreams at a reaaallyy good place that my grandma used to take me to! she got chocolate with cookie dough and I chose mint with vanilla! It was already afternoon and of course we went to the beach since it was near to see the sunset! I walked her home and then went to my place JAKWEK now, I tried to reduce all what happened as much as possible bUT ADJAJDAW LETS DELVE INTO DETAIL

First, I adored it. Every second of it. I don't remember having such a good time in a long, long time. You were so, so right about going out and talking and getting to know eachother. Honestly, it made my day, my week, possibly my month and semester. I still struggle to talk a bit sometimes cause I get nervous but it's a good nervous! She said that it doesn't bother her though. We talked tons too. I mean, she did most of the talking, but not because I didn't talk. I simply loved to listen, you know? She's completely american, has a mom and two dads (they're gay and super close with the mom apparently so I'm so genuinely happy that they all get along. She said really good things about them too and honestly, it made me just.. I don't know. Kind of at peace to know that she has a good family?), she doesn't have a favorite food but she said her comfort food is pizza and pho and I was so happy because FINALLY someone who appreciates soup and broths. She loves horror movies and SHE ALSO LIKES SCREAM. I can proudly claim that I have discovered she is a Jenna Ortega fan. She has a dog nAMED COCO. I am completely bewildered by the fact that it made me fall even MORE. AJKOAEH COCOCOCOOCOCO IT'S SO CUTE. And she's 24! Also, she wants to be a lawyer? I don't know why but that's kinda... I'm so gay-

And when she asked things about me, I actually wanted to share! which wth because I don't usually open up to talk much about me, you know? And in the aquarium I RAMBLED. Rambled about sharks and fish and their freaking REPRODUcTIVE SYSTEMS AND THEN DINOSAURS AND WHAT THE HELL WAS I DOING PELASEQJWIEJQWE god let the ground swallow me I beg you. I never felt so embarrassed but at the same time so damn happy because I said "sorry" and she just looked at me with that damn beautiful smile and said "don't. I like it" and if I had a stroke right there please forgive me because I'm just a human and how am I supposed to survive that 😫

Man. She liked listening to me talking about shark stuff. Van. VAN IS THIS MY BELOVED.

She was literally SO SO SWEET. AND PATIENT. AND FUNNY. AND VAN. VAN SHE HAS. ADJJQWEJ her laugh is so fucking weird yet so tremendously beautiful I cAN'T because she sounds like she's getting strangled and it's so funny but at the same time such a pretty sound anD I CAN'T AJDWKE. Hello. I'm down bad and so quickly. SHE OFFERED ME A SPOON OF HER ICECREAM. I casually said that it was cool and weird too how americans have SO many icecream flavors refering to the cookie dough icecream and I almost had ANOTHER STROKE because sHE JUST. SHE JSUT FED ME SO I COULD TRY IT AIWJEKIJM QWE. I almost choke please what am I going to do with myself. She was also so.. Smooth? Van she's got so much game and I'm.. The kind of person who says a pick up line even if it's jokingly and ends up cringing and wanting to bury herself alive.

We agreed that we were looking forward to have another date and we agreed that one of these days we could have a marathon of scary movies! she just so happens to watch harley quinn and said we sHOULD ALSO WATCH THE SHOW TOGETHER HELLO. We're going to have another date next week, but this time she's going to plan it!! Van, I don't know if I can ever thank you enough for encouraging me to talk to her. Full honesty? I don't think I would have talked to her on my own

-🦈

omg HIIIIIIIII SHARKYYY. I was thinking about you and whether things were going well and it sounds like it did 😭💘 Charlie is such a cute nickame. Everything about her sounds cute omg

aquarium is such a good idea! Did you take lots of pics. I loveeee seeing jellyfish. Like i'm literally obsessed. I also love sushi, this sounds like such a great date so far LOL Man you also took her to ice cream and walking too, how long was this date?! LOL

I'm glad my date advice worked out bc I think it's always so awesome to get to know the person you're seeing and talking. I also just feel like it's helps you get over the jitters so you have to talk more and get used to it. She seems so sweet that she knew you were nervous and did a lot of the talking and didn't mind that you listened. Maybe she needs a listener in her life!! (literally also why is my comfort food pizza and pho...also instant noodles LOL) (not to be weird but i'm wondering if she's asian bc as an asian myself, I swear every asian girl I know that owns a dog named them coco LOL)

I bet she found the things you rambled on so interesting tho. Literally they're so niche and she for sure learned new things LOL

omg y'all shared ice cream??????? that's so gay i love it. That's basically indirect kissing LSKJFDLSDLSLKDJF damn she forreal is a smooth operator, you better watch out before you have a heart attack😂

But this is so cute and i'm so happy there's a good update! Exciting there's another date and she'll plan it. I am totally curious what she's planning to do 👀

I genuinely don't feel like I did much for you as it was really all you!!! You really just set out to do what you wanted deep down and it makes me so happy it worked out <3 be gay & thrive so that we may all live vicariously through you <3

Thoughts on chapter 96 of Houseki no Kuni

Haruko Ichikawa owes me a new heart. This one just up and crumpled from despair from the soul-crushingly depressing new chapter.

A more detailed list of thoughts under the cut (because there were a lot + spoilers I guess):

Back to the moon once more. I feel like it's necessary to know how the gems are adapting to Lunarian life (the answer being surprisingly fast for a race that was previously hunted down on the regular by the same beings they now are), but I really wanna know what Phos is watching as they suffer for 10,000 years.

I'm surprised Cairngorm/Welegato is so buddy-buddy with Antarcticite and Cinnabar...until I remember that in actuality, while a hard pill to swallow, Phos probably cared more about them than they did them, in the end. Antarcticite especially: Their loyalty/love was always towards Sensei/Adamant first. Their bond with Phos was, while meaningful, not as strong as their bond towards Adamant. After all, it was really only for one winter.

I sure hope Aechmea's dumb plan to make another prayer machine shoots him in the foot. Because cultivating hatred and vengeance in the person you want to pray for you into nothingness sounds like the worst idea ever. Because as they equate nothingness as their salvation, will someone who hates you so desperately even pray sincerely for you?

Also, their plan to keep Phos in total isolation is a new level of scummy. Also forcibly transforming both new Lustrous and Admirabilis is just- No. Just, no. The new Lustrous wouldn't even have any say over this (much like the previously moon-napped moon-dust gems), and the Admirabilis are perfectly fine without immortality the Lunarian way. Don't drag them. (Also wasn't this what everyone and their mom accused Phos of? Dragging people into things without real consideration? And here you are, doing the same.)

Welegato/Cairngorm, while understandable and no less of a victim of Scummea, still made active choices to be completely unempathetic towards Phos' suffering. So yeah screw them. You can be happy for all the happiness they gave you because you didn't really have to suffer any of the work required to get that happiness.

Honestly surprised there's like a "no biggie" thing between Ghost and Cairn because there was like a big ol' unresolved thing(TM) between them but...maybe Cairgorm's whole name change and their new identity as moon princess solved that individuality issue they had going on and their beef with Ghost? Maybe?

Man, I sure wonder if everyone's similarity/how hard it is to differentiate between them correlates to loss of individuality or something. I dunno might just be an art style upgrade.

Cinnabar wrestling with that guilt but ultimately sort of just accepting their newfound happiness is very bittersweet. Understandable but makes me no less mad. Euclase as well kinda just goes "Poor guy". I'm not sure if they'll really do anything about it.

Antarc, I believed in you. 95 ended with them asking about Phos and 96 started with them being completely ok with Phos having a nice trauma-dumping session from Sensei's eye.

Were Sensei and Aechmea in cahoots the whole time because if they were it leaves a really bad taste in my mouth.

Yellow Diamond has dementia. Becoming a Lunarian has not fixed anything for them. They are not ok.

Padpa...I wonder if they'll be the one to look for Phos? Likely not but I'm just hoping at least one person checks up on Phos out of genuine concern. Because Padpa being lifeless is pretty interesting. Or maybe it's their way of signaling to Rutile that they're really just not into the relationship or existing at all.

Rutile is a therapist. Good for them I guess.

Yes Euclase, baby Phos had issues. I sure do wonder where those issues came from huh.

Adamant better have a good reason for leaving Phos to their 10,000 year suffering. Although I do wonder that, as much as Sensei is decidedly loving and caring towards the Lustrous, are they still limited in understanding Phos' problems/the problem of the whole 10,000 years in isolation/banking on one mentally unstable individual to sincerely pray for the salvation of everyone.

Is the praying for one going to lead to a chain reaction to everyone being prayed away or was that just Aechmea being the moon's most unreliable narrator/source of info.

Dia and Bortz still haven't reconciled I think? Diamond seems to be completely fine with acting like they didn't have a massive freaking violent meltdown thing earlier on. Interesting that Bortz is keeping themselves in the dark though.

Will the Admirabilis's bond with Phos and the whole ice floes things ever be brought up? Will Phos get to interact once more with the race that is the most decidedly human out of all three? Ichikwaw I am begging you to let Phos keep one good relationship.

If this manga ends with Aechmea winning/being able to go away scot-free without repercussions I am going to cry. In rage.

Phos should get to die. Like just seriously die and rest. Or maybe reincarnate into a happier existence. I am tired of the suffering. It's hard to think how they'll achieve peace any other way. Unless they live out a nice existence with the mortal Admirabilis? Kinda like Jellyfish enthusiast Bort.

You already know that I like Ice and Jesse. I wish just some, not all, of them had more backstory. At least for the characters I like anyway.

Even though I don't like children, I did like that Pho protected the kids from people who would harm them. Especially since they are not that able to protect themselves, especially towards the creepy adults too. And I'm happy he did kill those men. Even if he got sent to prison just because of that. Which is really a shame for his character though.

I know Diddy is Ice's brother. But you never see or hear much about a character like that, so I don't care about him. Dixie's his girlfriend too.

Same with 9. And obviously Bernie's character was ruined to be since the actor was in way too many sex scandals. I did so like his character before I knew about his drama. He's completely ruined for me now.

Sarah's character could have potential if they written her better in any other way... But they didn't. And I could have respected her becoming a strong woman who protected herself from abusive men. But during the scenes you see her fighting, she only goes after the men won't hit women - like Rascals, Sannoh and most of the other SWORD gangs. And then you'd also see piles of men at her feet in the club owned by the Mighty Warriors. So what? Men come up to possibly flirt with the woman, so she just hits them instead of saying she's not interested.

And for Pearl. I think the reason why I like Sway's character is more in the music videos rather than the show and movies. Because I feel like that his character does have more backstory in the music videos, way in comparison than the show and movies. In my opinion. Which really is why I would want to flesh is character out in the stories if I am even able to. Same with Ice and Jesse. If that makes any sense to anyone.

Exactly! Rocky and Ranmaru were always natural enemies since both men have been around, Ranmaru is part of the reason why Rocky just had to form White Rascals. To protect women from abusive people.

And Hyuga and Ranmaru did know each other in prison based on any comments mentioned between them. But now Hyuga betrayed him... So if Hyuga is romantically involved with a woman, or friends with the women. Whatever the relationship. Ranmaru would harm them in any retaliation at him. Ranmaru's retaliating against Rocky and Hyuga.

But not only does Ranamru harm women in any way he sees fit which includes rape. Based on the context of the show and even movies for some extent, they would just kidnap women to force them into either the blackmarket to be sold as slaves or would be forced as sex slaves. Like Miho for example. They never said how she had to repay debts in that situation. But some women were used as sex slaves for Doubt.

I don't know if I would ever write for the High&Low Worst fandom just because I'm more focused on the original cast, not that I don't love all the new characters. At least most of the newer characters anyway.

Actually.. I've always thought Fujio could have passed on being a very younger sibling to Hiroto. But that could be because of the hairstyles.

But, as a Leo, Tsukasa does give me even more Lion's Pride than ever before. I just love when characters have leonine mannerisms like that.

So I'm sending pictures. I don't know if I would use her as a face claim for High&Low.. Possibly for a different fandom. I'm considering it way too much. So I'll just showing you, just to show you her appearances.

Besides sexually. Because Hyuga would do that either way, even if he wasn't trying to apologize. Since he would always want sex anyway.

But he'll apologize without apologizing. So, like Rocky, he would even try acts of service as his way of showing his appreciation to someone. He's not a verbal person. Unless those verbal comments would be the mean and even insulting way of speaking to someone, but in a playful way. Like how he's playfully mean to the other SWORD gangs.. Like in the scenes where the alliances were formed. He had playful banter to Cobra in the first movie when they fought someone, he had a playful banter with Rocky about Ranmaru in the second movie. So he can be playfully mean too. He might be playfully mean depending on moods.

So.. Some sites list his height as 5'5 (165 cm), but then other sites list his height as 5'7 (170 cm). I don't know which height is accurate then. I'll try paying attention to their heights for you when they're together..

All I know about exercising is that it would make you feel better which would make you more physically, mentally and emotionally healthier..

But I don't understand why you would hit someone in the stomach, in a deliberately intention way, just to strength someone's muscles?

Even if, "That's weakness leaving your body." That's so unusual to me.

But considering the boys, the actors, only diet during them filming in this show was chicken and brown rice. No wonder they wanted steak. Because I wouldn't be so surprised if their reactions were actually real in those scenes. I hope the boys enjoyed food after the productions.

Aw. I haven't seen the show yet. But.. I might be siding with Ji Chang-wook's character. But his character could possibly go either way right now. Sometimes desperate characters like his, will do a lot of the very most desperate actions to achieve what they want. It's not surprising.

Yes. Even if you're suspicious of someone.. Why would you ever really give them a hard time when they just got out of the hospital, the very same person was almost dead. Yet you care about this man's motives though. Seriously? Horrible people. They weren't fair to Vincenzo. But to make matters worse, from my experience, they remind me of quite a few narcissistic people I know who aren't in my life anyway. Like for an example of one experience: Someone in my family died, this was a person I actually cared about in my family. But the narcissistic person didn't care that my family was in mourning over this person, they only cared about themselves. They wanted to the attention on them. Like I can't believe I had people like that in my life. People like that are really dead to me. I'm so much happier with those people out of my life too.

But that's what those scenes reminded me of. I know.. Vincenzo does have ulterior motives so he can get his gold, but he's not killing any of people to get the gold. He just wants them to move to another place.

Alice In Borderland season three was officially announced a few days ago, but I only just now heard about the news. So.. I don't know when the new season will be out since they aren't really in production yet.

As for the cast. The actors of Arisu and Usagi, they really have already been announced for the cast. Which is no surprise. Since they're main characters of the original casting. But no news on anyone else with in the cast yet. So until I hear about any actors from the original casting coming back, then I'm assuming this new plot is based on the manga Alice In Borderland: Retry. So we'll see what happens with the casting will be. Because don't get me wrong.. I do enjoy their actors, but only having them won't be enough for me. I need more original actors too.

Not including the Kpop fans who were spamming the fucking tags.

So.. I don't have the HiTV channel on my television, but I could watch any shows and movies on the HiTV site. I'll have to try the site soon.

Between Netflix, hopefully HiTV, and some other sites... I really would have ways to watch Asian media. So I'm happy about that right now.

More Korean shows and movies that I want to watch right now would be roles - preferably main roles - of Do-hwan, Sang-yi and Joong-ki... At least for right now. Not that I won't watch other shows and movies if I find any that seem interesting to me. So I may have some options.

But there is also Ji Chang-wook, and I know you did also watched me to more roles of Wi Ha-joon so I might give in a try too. I know there is other actors. But those are the actors I can think of at the moment.

was sarah not drugging those guys? i thought she was using redrum to knock em out?

if i end up making a rocky or hyuga oc, i might use it as a plot. but idk for now. since i’m already using ryu as the big bad to mess with hyuga and ryuko (and murayama).

i like tsukasa and fujio, and i’m also a fan of todoroki. i’m focusing more on my main four oc so idk if i’d write for the worst at this point, but if i did it’d probably be centered on any of those three.

exactly, like he can be playfully mean but also sometimes his comments are a lil too cutting. he’s not being intentionally mean, but it’s kind of just his personality. hence why his apologies are more acts as opposed to verbal. even if he did verbally apologise, it’d probably sound sarcastic.

yea the cop’s whole plot has thus far been around trying to get a promotion and it’s kind of the only reason he took the undercover job in the first place. also he’s kinda ……. dumb. he’s supposed to be undercover but then he goes to have lunch in public with his detective wife?? where he gets caught by his gangster boss!?? idiot behaviour. i know he was just trying to explain to her what was going on, but he should’ve just left her a voicemail like he’d already been doing.

vincenzo could have been way worse. he could’ve just ripped the place down and took the gold. instead he actually tried to help them and he’s repaid with all these questions and accusations and pushing. like he gave them an answer, he said they’d talk later! he wasn’t being overly dismissive or even outright saying ‘no’! but they just kept jumping on him! i would’ve said ‘fuck it i quit then’ too!

Part 24: Appearance

Erik shuffled down the aisle of the train car, crutch nudged snuggly into his armpit and a suitcase half his size rolling behind with a heavy looking duffel. No one offered assistance and he didn't ask. As a black man, he could always count on that as a consistency. Crutches and all, he'd be viewed as overly capable. From a young age it was ingrained through experience.. all you have is yourself because no one out here will help you, a young black man. Time had proven it again and again. Injured, he could still handle more weight than the average man and it was because he pushed himself. He relied only on himself. Even hospitalized, he found ways to maintain his strength. Weakness and laziness was never an option, not even for recovery. With all his money, that was still something he couldn't afford. But they could.. the white couple on the left. He couldn't help but notice them sitting there.

A closer look told him they weren't actually a couple. The blonde girl's face screamed underage. Fifteen/sixteen. The heavy makeup she wore aged her. She looked high. Heroin, Erik guessed glancing subtly for track marks. She looked up and he glanced away to a Spanish speaking family with five kids including a crying baby. He bit his lip on his way to take his seat at the rear where he could see everyone. The man in front of him was on his way to sleep. Erik put in his earbuds and continued his watch.

As the hours passed, he noticed more and more. The kids had no home training. The parents had no sense of awareness considering they sat opposite a fifteen year old girl being held against her will. It could easily be one of their kids, with them not paying attention it wouldn't take much. The baby had the healthiest lungs of any baby he'd ever heard. That blonde girl was high as hell. She got up to use the bathroom on his side of the train and he kept his eyes down as she passed with her trafficker on her ass to make sure she ain't try nothing risky. Ain't none of my black ass business, Erik told himself. He hadn't signed up to save any little blonde girls. He kept his eyes down as they passed him again to return to their seats and she dropped a tiny earring on the floor next to his foot on purpose. Damn, he groaned dropping his head on the back of the seat. Why me? I just said I ain't wanna get involved in this shit.

Taking a deep sigh, he picked up the earring and did what made sense. He googled the train police department and texted in a report using his sub contact phone, the main phone. He gave a description of the couple and information regarding the train. You're welcome, he thought watching the back of the girl's head before settling back in his seat comfortably. Any other time he'd have ignored her, not that victims often reached out to him so clearly. Still, it was an unnecessary risk calling on police. What if they decided to search the train? The whole point of taking the train was to not be searched.

Y/N would be proud right now, his lip twisted in irritation. She'd become the true north of his moral compass. What would Y/N do in the situation? The thought made him nauseous. She wouldn't survive his lifestyle. He wouldn't survive it with her morals. This is dangerous. We are completely incompatible, but I still want you, he admitted to himself. It was more like need. Obsession even. There was a burning feeling in his gut. "This shit ain't healthy," he muttered.

-----

"Wow, may I..," Tanner's fingers hover in the air, his eyes on your fresh braids. Your eyebrows answer before you can and he lowers his hand with a smile. "Those braids are really something. Would it be offensive if I asked how they're attached?" He looks so fascinated. He's been staring and talking to the top of your head since he saw you this morning in the lobby and now he's staring just as hard from across the small booth table at Pho Station.

"You just buy braiding hair and braid it into your hair. That's literally it."

"Braiding hair.. what's that?" His head rests on his hand as his elbow sits on the table. He's so curious, staring dreamily.

"It's packs of hair you get at the store specifically for braided styles." You slurp in a spoonful of long noodles.

"Is it human hair?"

"Synthetic." It comes out muffled as you break off the noodles hanging from your mouth with a chopstick so you can swallow.

"Synthetic? What's the difference..," his blue eyes drift lazily down to your nearly black ones. "Well, I mean in how they look."

"Human hair is typically Malaysian or Brazillian, something like that. You can straighten or curl it because it's actual hair. Synthetic fibers can melt but it's inexpensive and can mimic hair textures well."

"Well it's beautiful," he nods. "I've always wondered about it. Does it hurt?"

"Mm-mm," you grumble slurping the broth of your chicken pho. "No these are knotless and they don't hurt." That confuses him so you get into the difference between regular box braids and knotless. "You can't even sleep when you first get regular box braids because it's so tight that's why I don't wear them."

"Yes.. don't wear them if they hurt. Don't wanna pull out all that beautiful hair.." His eyes hold a familiar twinkle. The way he stares.. it reminds you of Erik. You don't wanna think about the meaning of it.

"Damn right.. Hey your pho's gonna get cold."

"Oh," his brows raise in faux offense. He picks up his soup spoon looking away for the first time. It's about time. "Well these.. knotless braids," he gestures with the spoon, "They look amazing on you," he smirks. "But you're already gorgeous, you know that."

"This from a Gene Kelly/James Dean lookalike. You look like you belong in a Marvel movie. That dark hair.. chiseled jaw? And who do you get those eyes from?"

"My grandma. My mom's eyes are carmel brown and so are my sister's. My father's are a darker brown."

"Punnet square kicked in hard."

"So tell me where your features come from," his eyes twinkle, hands folded under his strong chin. Your heart nearly skips a beat. It took a while for you to admit it to yourself because you'd have to admit you were lowkey using him.. but you knew what he was doing and how he felt from the start. That look was infatuation.

Opening doors, calling on me, paying for lunch every time, bringing me coffee? It's a lot.. Well that's because he likes me.. No It could be friendly, doesn't mean he likes me.

Almost everyday you told yourself the same thing.

I don't want him as anything more than a friend, maybe a work husband now that I know he's a cool lil white boy. I think he knows that..

Not when you flirt back he doesn't know that..

But is it really flirting or being nice? Besides I think he might feel the same.

A look into his eyes slams that possibility.

Who am I kidding. Maybe it's wrong to let him pay. Is that selfish?..

Girl, you're not dumb you know exactly what you're doing..

No, but really, I enjoy his company. I look forward to our little lunch outings as much as he does..

Then pay for yourself!..

I KNOW, but I don't.. want to...

Blinking, you sigh clearing your guilty conscience. "I look exactly like my dad but my personality is my mom."

"Oh really. That's where you get those adorably chubby cheeks from? Your dad? Interesting family photos I bet."

"Believe it or not that's also where I get this tummy and all this ass from," I say straight faced watching his cheeks sink in. On that note, he buries himself in his pho and I watch him hold himself together, the both of us laughing on the inside.

"You're ridiculous," he smiles down at his bowl. "What will I ever do with you.."

"Hopefully keep feeding me."

"Of course, Barb told me about a BBQ place about fifteen minutes from here. How about tomorrow?"

"Then I can show you pictures of my bootylicious father," you stare watching him collect himself again.

"Wow," he chokes on his broth. "Or we can look at yours, completely up to you."

-----

Never had it felt so good to be coming or going. Erik wheeled his bags through the station coolly, but internally he was leaping for joy like a little kid. After touching down in every continent through the military as a soldier and then a mercenary soldier, he was used to traveling. New locations, customs, and languages were the norm. War, battle, and toppling small countries for their resources and political control was the norm. It wasn't right, but it made big money and when his service ended, he retired. However, that didn't change the fact that he was still a multilingual and adaptable war weapon with no other real skill or interest other than killing. He was good at it so he made it a business. A consultant was what he called himself. Gameplay and development was the front.

Life as an assassin made him his own boss. He could kill and go off the map at will. He'd travel as far as it took to complete the task and take cash or cryptocurrency which he'd translate into several offshore accounts before his domestic ones. He'd usually buy a throwaway car, restock his ammo, spend time sunbathing on a yacht in the Maldives, hunker down in a city where he blended in and then isolate for a month wallowing in a small room before his next kill. Sightseeing wasn't on his agenda. He'd been all over the world and seen the worst of human nature. Texas had been a first as far as experiencing the high points anywhere. He'd enjoyed his stay with a woman and they'd gone on dates, real dates. He'd gone to an amusement park of all places and taken her around the city. It was magical though he'd almost been killed for it. Texas.. Not Cartagena or Havana or Jaipur but country ass Texas. Now here he was finally back in Cali. Nothing came close to the joy of having someone waiting for him. Someone who'd be overjoyed to see him. His job was done, his leg was healing up nicely, no one was after him because he'd left no one alive that could easily identify him. He was on his way home.

Home, he smiled somewhat bitterly. More like playing house.. Ain't none of this shit real and eventually it will end, probably in disaster.

Still.. He couldn't drop the facade for it was filling a hole within him that he hadn't realized until recently could be filled. He had latent desires. Playing house with her was the closest to a home he'd ever get.

-----

Erik's car takes premium gas and you wonder about his bills. Is he paying them? 'Cause you're not. He'd better have it worked out because once the lights go out in this isolated grand establishment, you're gone. You've gotten too used to walking around with every bright light in the house on at night. Walking through the bathroom butt naked you light the very last of his pricey looking black label white candles having burned through the rest of his supply. This one's Leather scented, not the best but not bad. That's why it was last. Locking the bathroom door out of habit, you run the shower and enjoy the luxurious spa room you've become accustomed to. The water pressure still hits. The warm thick white towels are fresh from the dryer. Your body is hairless from shaving and you've just purchased a new body oil to try that Ava swears by. Though you're only going to bed, you can't resist it. It smells like like fresh baked cookies from the oven and makes your skin radiate golden. It's perfect for a pool party or the beach.. whenever you end up going again which may be a while. Taking a few suggestive shiny body selfies in the towel, you decide to go ahead and send them to Erik though he doesn't deserve them. Someone has to see your glass skin. You hadn't spoken to him in the last two days as he'd been "busy". Doing what, you had no clue. It felt like bullshit. All of it. It was maddening to the point that you didn't want to care anymore, whether he returned or stayed. He'd been gone too long. Waaay too long. His reasons for wanting you out of Texas were beginning to feel like lies.

There's probably a huge harem of harlot whores he's entertaining and he doesn't want me to know he lied about only having three submissives, the asshole. He's probably in some twisted unsanitary orgy in a dark and questionable dungeon drinking glowing lime jello shooters and getting blackout drunk right now.. Probably whipping some poor girl with one of those long cowboy whips. God knows what he does with his other subs. If he was that dirty with Lil Bitch's morally debased ass and that was in front of me...

Every now and again the thought would cross your mind. Fuck him, you thought. Stay gone. I'll keep living here alone in the lap of luxury.

Never before had you been in a hot tub so often. It did wonders for a post work unwind with a smoothie or herbal tea in hand. You didn't need him when you had wifi, cable, powerful A/C, and a full fridge. He could stay with whoever he was with.

But what if he doesn't come back, your mind wonders darkly. What if he stays in Texas and never comes back?

Suddenly the house seems a lot chillier and unwelcoming.. Empty even. Too quiet. Hugging yourself for comfort you wander through the house and turn each of the lights off one by one to get an idea once more just how dark it gets. Too dark. Pitch black. You can't even see a hand in front of your face and panic sets in along with a strong inner body chill. This isn't something you can do and if Erik never comes back...

Honestly you've never seriously considered that possibility. The thought brings a loneliness that echoes the depth of darkness, both equally terrifying. The fact is that you do care.. profoundly to the point that his continued absence really bothers you. He has already become an indestructible pillar in your everyday life. Going days without so much as a hello feels like a week and that doesn't do much good for your anxiety.

Flipping each of the lights back on, you settle into Erik's bed this time around and stare at the time until you doze off. When you open your eyes there's natural light coming in through the window and you take a grateful breath before sitting up in the bed.

"Good morning," a chilling voice interjects and you nearly have a heart attack, unable to scream in the face of Flu sitting on the edge of the bed watching you. You want to run, scream, fight, anything but your body which is frozen in absolute fear and shock will not move. He smiles and you dart upright in bed sweating cold bullets and panting. Outside is still dark. According to the clock you've been sleep three and a half hours. It's 3:30 AM. Taking a deep breath to calm your breathing you look around the room comforting yourself with the mantra "It's just a dream. You're okay. You're okay. There's nothing to worry about. You've been safe and you're still safe. You're completely safe." A few minutes of repeating it and looking around, listening closely to the air has you relaxed enough to fall back asleep especially since your eyes are crossing up. When your eyes open again you check the clock. It's been almost another hour but you keep waking up.

Hold up. Didn't I have the light on?

Thinking back, your half sleep mind isn't completely sure but you know you sleep with the lights on. Nervous to move, your wide eyes search the pitch blackness before you and when you get the courage to move, you turn over bracing yourself to see Flu sitting there beside you on the bed. Nothing's there or out of the ordinary.

Did the lights go out? Did it blow? I think I had it on...

It's not getting up to explore. That's how people fir in movies. Instead, you bury your head in the covers like a small child and slip back into sleep. Or at least almost. Before you can cover your eyes with the blanket, you hear something that sounds like a slight vibration. That would be normal.. if your phone wasn't all the way downstairs.

A hand clamps over your mouth and as you feel a body quickly cover yours you grab at the darkness in attempt to gouge, scratch, and scrape whatever you can reach. When you pull locs, your brain registers and you yank them hard to get a noise.

"AHH," he whisper screams.

"ERIK WHAT THE FUCK?!" This time your lungs are free and healthy because you yell directly in his ear, slapping at him. "YOU ALMOST GAVE ME A HEART ATTACK." Breathless, you try to catch it, still swinging. "Why would you do that! What the fuck is wrong with you!"

"I wanted to surprise you," he grips your hands. "I didn't think you'd try to rip my damn hair out! And why your nails so sharp!"

"Are you mentally deficient? In what world did that seem like a good idea to you?!"

"Catch your breath," he says quietly.

Getting up he flips the lights and sits on the bed beside you. You haven't seen him in what feels like ages. "You still having nightmares." It's not a question as he looks in your tired eyes.

"Not often, just a couple of times since I've been on my own here." You didn't really have them when you two were together. He nods understanding your meaning. You hadn't mentioned it on the phone or through text. What could he have done about it anyway? There's a moment of silence as he rests his hand over your blanketed leg.

"I'm sorry for being away so long..," he says quietly. "I mean it. I'm sorry for scaring you.. I honestly didn't consider the nightmares because when we were together you didn't have them. I promise you, you are safe. He can't hurt you. There are many things in this world that can, but I promise he's not one.. and as long as I'm here I won't let anyone touch you. I will protect you with my life."

"That's good and all," you sigh, half listening and half asleep already. "But can you just.. stay here with me until I fall asleep."

"You in my bed," he smiles climbing fully dressed under the blanket to scoop you into his arms. Instantly your body clings to his and his shirt becomes your new pillow. You feel the quick sensation of his lips on your temple. "Did you miss me," he whispers. You mean to respond, but instead you fade out asleep.

-----

As soon as he'd slipped into the bed, she was knocked, sleeping soundly and breathing loud. He stroked her braids, her arm, and her back gently but firmly the way he always had when she needed help to relax.

"I missed you," he whispered into her forehead. She responded with a small fart and his nose crinkled. He didn't smell it which meant it was trapped under the blanket. She did it once more just then but it was louder. She'd be horrified if she were awake. "Y/N," he groaned hoping he wouldn't smell it. He didn't dare move though. He only sighed and continued rubbing her back. "Stink," he nicknamed her on the spot. "My lil stink stink," his stomach jumped in humor thinking of her reaction in the morning. He wanted to see the expression on her face when he called her that and when she heard the explanation of why. It made his chest shake. He tried to control it so not to wake her. She was sleeping too good for him to even get up and take his outside clothes off and they were hot to sleep in. He wanted to get comfortable.

That's okay, he decided as he settled in to fall asleep exactly where he was, under her. It took some effort to get comfortable in that position but in that moment there was no other place he'd have rather been.

hii francesca 💖 your gifs inspired me to give gif making a try and I was wondering if u had any resources on getting started by any chance 👀

that is genuinely so wonderful to hear! i have been making gifs for so long i'll admit i'm not up to date with new tutorials, but let me see what i can do — if anything is unclear in them you can always come ask.

honestly? while it's easier to follow everything down to a t when starting, you'll quickly realize that not only can you switch it up, it's usually better when you do. and then, slowly, you'll have your own way of doing things that, by virtue of being tailored to you, will make giffing much easier and much faster. you'll end up being a collection of all the things you like best from tens or hundreds of different tutorials around the web, which means that if something in a specific post doesn't work for you, you should simply look around for a different tutorial for the same thing and try again. there's so many ways of doing one (1) thing on ph/otoshop so don't get discouraged if what you attempt the first, second, third time doesn't work right away.

if it counts for anything, t's been a decade for me and i still think all my knowledge is pretty basic

anyway, @itsphotoshop has always been and will always be a treasure trove of information. i remember starting from here when i first started with pho/toshop. there's nice, easy tutorials. good psds (colorings) that you can download and use (or, like me, download and pick apart like a mad scientist so that you can figure out exactly what layers people are using to make their beautiful gifs, that's how i learned at first! just looking through people's psds and trying to understand how they made it all come together)

this tutorial is pretty recent and, from what i understand, very well received by new-gifmakers. reading through it i can see why since most in-depth tutorials are a bit dated. personally, i do quite a few things differently from op but, like i said, in ps there's a million ways of achieving the same thing and this is a great post for beginners.

let me backtrack a second. we're not made of money here, are we? right, right. so you might want to get your hands on this post, and actually start from there. and since i can see op has edited the post since i last visited, let me tell you that the version i use i got from here. we don't have to be twins, but just in case!

oh, this post has also excellent tips from getting nice, clear gifs (though tumblr butchers the quality for most of us, so again don't get discouraged if a gif of yours looks wonderful in ps and then not that great on tumblr. you'll learn as you go where the happy middle is, between you and this hellsite). the big thing is and will always be: get high quality video. depending on what size you want your gifs to be, you might be able to settle for 720p but personally i always go for 1080p (there's higher quality too!). also, know your sizes (the post linked has them listed <3)

ah, what else what else.... i don't want to overwhelm you. at first, it's good to simply read a bit from the basic tutorials on the blog i first linked and kind of get an idea of which features you'll be using the most. if you need anything specific, i'm more than willing to help although though i still go about it the same way i did years ago and there's so many better + amazing gifmakers around that have this all down to an art lmao

regardless, i'm happy to share any tips or tricks. i'm just not the most eloquent bitch around so you might have to suffer through the worst worded tutorial in the world but i can't do anything about that

if any of my lovely gifmaking mutuals want to share anything for our friend here, please do!

edit: oh, wait! just in case it might be useful. i personally use potplayer for taking screencaps <3

#i didn't re-read this at all so hopefully it makes the least bit of sense lmao #i don't plan on ever changing urls but just in case no read more for this <3 #anonymous #long post /#fra.txt #fra.xml

"Cinnabar. At long last, I finally have a job for you."

houseki no kuni swap au one shot ^o^

this is mostly self indulgent (like everything i do) but i figured i should at least put a note on who is who and what the swaps are although im sure you can easily figure that out from reading this

they're all (mostly) the main ships so it's not that hard to figure it out

cinnabar —> phos

phos —> cinnabar

rutile —> padpa

padpa —> rutile

the last two don't really make that much of a difference to the story, but just thought it was worth mentioning aha + also other characters got swappity swapped as well

btw, the swaps aren't just character wise. everyone will be acting ooc

A soft wind blew the crimson red bangs out of Cinnabar's face as two figures, one with pink hair and the other grey, ran past them, only to stop and turn around towards the brunette.

"Oh, Cinnabar. You're there," said Morganite, a meek smile on their face. Goshenite had one hand on their hip as they eyed Cinnabar who was sitting in the grass, some pieces of grass stuck on their hair.

"Sensei called for you."

"Huh?"

"Heh, it's probably a new job offer or something. You might wanna check that out, laters." Goshenite waved at Cinnabar, before continuing to run across the field, leaving Cinnabar to their own thoughts.

The mercury all around them shone silver in the almost blinding sunlight, moving according to their emotions.

Right now, Cinnabar is excited.

ii.

"At long last, I have a job for you. And that job is to make this boring ass encyclopedia or whatever you call it. I don't even know half of what's going on! How the heck am I supposed to write an ENCYCLEPOD??!"

"Yes..." Neptunite said, tone flatter than their chest.

Cinnabar huffed, finally seeming like they'd finish their hour long rant. "Now, Nepti-kun, I do believe your room is right next to Phos'?"

The purple haired gem buried their face into their hands. "We're one hour in and you choose to ask that just now. Imagine how much time I could've saved. I have a life to live, you now."

"Aren't we immortal? You have all the time in the world." Cinnabar deadpanned.

"Yes, but I also have places to go."

Clicking their tongue, Cinnabar scoffed. "Whatever, whatever. Just show me to Phos."

"Well, I didn't know I was your personal servant."

iii.

Phos' room was nothing like what Cinnabar had ever expected. The whole place was covered in... gold liquid? They flashed a look at their mercury, which floated close towards them, then back at the liquid in Phos' room.

"That one can't control the alloy, you know."

"What do you mean?" Cinnabar raised an eyebrow.

Neptunite sighed. "Well, you know how you used to lose control over your mercury and end up poisoning all the greenery?"

"And what about that?"

The purple gem shook their head. "This is like that, but instead of mercury, it's gold alloy. Phos tends to lose control."

"Wasn't... Actually, nevermind."

"Spit it out, now that you've started."

"Uhm. I just thought that... didn't everyone used to talk about how good a fighter Phos is? Or was?"

Neptunite paused.

"Yeah. They were a good fighter. But after losing Antarc, that all changed."

"Antarc..."

"Phos kept blaming themselves for the loss of Antarc. As a result they have become mentally unstable. I suggest you don't go near them, but if there's anyone who would know about the life here, it would be them."

"Were they that lonely, spending all that time alone that they just know everything from watching them out of pure boredom?"

"Perhaps. Maybe all those winter patrols weren't for nothing."

iv.

The first time Cinnabar met Phos, was with the latter's back turned towards them.

Mint-green hair. Golden arms. Striped legs. This has gotta be the all too infamous Phosphophyllite-senpai Cinnabar had heard of. But never actually met, until just now, that is.

"I know you're there."

"Meep."

Cinnabar almost jumped from the sudden callout, and stood up from their crouching position.

"Cinnabar, right? I've heard all about you. What do you want?"

The red gem took a few steps closer, admiring how the wind blew Phos' hair, and the way it looked almost magical. They clutched the clipboard in their hand.

"Actually, I was wondering if..."

Neptunite's words echoed in Cinnabar's mind.

"...if you feel lonely, being all alone like this."

Phos seemed startled at this, and Cinnabar could see the older gem slowly turn their head towards them. "What do you mean?"

The mercury floating around Cinnabar had started to slowly lose control. Their shapes started becoming random, but Cinnabar kept everything together. They didn't want to poison all the grass and flowers and little creatures again.

They gingerly set down the clipboard in their hands on the dewy grass, before walking towards Phos and stopping when they were right next to the mint green gem.

"Aren't you scared of me?" said Phos, voice lowering down a bit. Cinnabar simply shook their head.

"No, senpai. It's okay. I understand what it feels like, when everyone else is scared of you. But I'm not. I understand how it feels... to... to be feared."

Phos looked down at their alloy hands. Memories of stabbing their fellow gems with sharp, out-of-control golden alloy hit them like a wave.

"Cinnabar... I—"

"Actually, now that I'm here, can I ask you something?"

"S-sure, what is it?"

Cinnabar mentally prepared themself, before letting out all the questions they had about the species inhabiting this small, small island they were on. The first, but not actual reason they came to visit Phos.

The older gem held back their tongue from what they originally wanted to say, and patiently listened to every single one of the younger's questions while giving clear and easy to understand answers.

"How did talking to Phos go?" Padparadscha asked with a quizzical look, one arm over their eyes as they laid on the infirmary floor.

"Great! They were a surprisingly good listener. I was flabbergasted." Cinnabar looked down at the pages full of scribbling and writing thanks to Phos' very, very informative infodumps, as per Cinnabar's request.

They looked over at the wooden box right next to Padparadscha, and the line of gems skillfully shaped so that it would fit holes in a torso.

"You're sleeping already? Usually you'd still be up and about, working on Rutile."

Padparadscha let out a soft sigh. "Yeah, well, I've been so tired these past few days, what with the constant accidents here and there." They paused to yawn. "If you need me, just wake me up."

"Okay. Goodnight, senpai."

"Mhm."

A warm smile found itself onto Cinnabar's face as they looked down at the clipboard once again.
