The "Better Half" ; A Poly KiriBaku x Reader Fanfic

Enjoy the series | one two three four five

You walked into the room, flustered from Kirishima, and excited to check out your name that was all over social media. You even had your own Facebook Fan Club Group. Quickly, your mom gave you juice and sat you down, wanting to talk about everything.

She sat by your side on the 2-person-couch, scrolling through fan art, fan group stuff, video footage, and such. I was already on famous birthdays, and had fan accounts on twitter.

You had gained thousands of people who had found and leaked your social media accounts, and had gotten hundreds of dms from classmates, teammates, and family friends. Everyone wanted a piece of the action.

“My baby!! With popularity like this, UA is bound to hear about you!! Gosh, my baby is going to go off and become the World’s Greatest Superhero!! The next All Might!” Inko excitedly fangirled over you, something rare in fact.

Over the years, with all your academic and physical accomplishments, the three of you had gotten so used to Inko ignoring you to give praise to Izuku, since he got none from others while you were practically worshipped for everything you did.

Yet now, as Izuku stared at you two from the kitchen, he saw how happy Inko truly was about you. How her eyes lit up, and her smile was bright. She was practically glowing. As a mother, this was how you were supposed to act.

But with Izuku, this never happened, no matter the act his mom put on. The highest grade he got was A-‘s, and never got all-A-honor-roll like you.

He never had won a science fair like you, entered a states-level championship like you, gotten 1st place at a swim meet, or been voted Class President every year in middle school.

Izuku realized now how much his mother truly wanted to celebrate everyone of your milestones. How she wanted to be that mom with the perfect child, and shout it to the world. The only reason she didn’t was because of Izuku’s feelings.

Because Izuku didn’t do anything remotely close to you. Izuku was the reason his mother couldn’t be happy with her perfect daughter. It was because Izuku was so useless that neither of you had ever become close to one another.

When Inko was finally done, she sent you up the stairs to bed, saying to get rest for your big day of training tomorrow. “Hey mom, is-“ Izuku poked his head out to talk, only to get interrupted by Inko.

“One second sweetie. Yuno’s mom Michi is calling me. She’s one of the cool moms!” Inko smiled, quickly bringing the phone to her ear and racing out of the room. Izuku sighed sadly before turning and going upstairs to you. He walked into your room and leaned against the doorway.

“Soooo… What did you do while you were out?” Izuku asked, grinning as you continued to text on your phone. You brought it away from your face, fake-thought, and shook your head.

“Just rode around for awhile. Why?” You asked, looking up at your brother. Izuku was taken back, surprised by your secrecy. Since birth, you two had told each other almost everything, but now… “Come on, I know something happened.”

Izuku began to walk over and sit on your bed when you looked up at him angrily. “Izuku, nothing happened! Stop being such a creep!” You harshly yelled, very annoyed by him prying. You did not want to talk to Izuku about boys, especially now.

Izuku stopped, shocked and hurt by your angry words. “I… okay then. Hey, I was thinking that maybe after school we could-“ He was interrupted by you looking up from your phone again, very agitated.

“I’m sorry, my schedule is packed tomorrow. I have training with my new coach and then I’m hanging out with a friend. Can it wait?” You asked as he felt his heart shatter, the wind being knocked out of him.

“Y-Yep.” Izuku whispered as he began to walk out. “Wait, Izuku!” You yelled, jumping up and running to him in the doorway. Izuku turned, happy to get your attention. Now would be when you would either apologize or want to reschedule plans for another time.

“Did you get my homework from Math and Science?” You asked, fidgeting with a pen while you stood there. “No, I’m sorry. I was just so shaken. up and I-“ You nudged Izuku angrily.

“Baka!! You were shook up? Gosh Izuku, I ruin my favorite relationship for you and you can’t even help me out?” You slammed the door in front of him and locked it. Izuku could hear you return to your bed, plop down, and eat another Pocky stick.

Snap! Crunch.

Izuku stood there, unable to believe what had just happened. Did you just… No. You were just having a mood swing again. It was no big deal… right?

Izuku stood there, listening to you talk to your friends on the phone. You giggled, laughed, and gossiped like normal. It was as if your twin brother hadn’t even gone to the hospital that day.

Izuku began to walk downstairs, only to hear his mother on the phone as well. Nobody cared, and nobody wanted to talk to him. Izuku began to waddle back to his bedroom and open his phone.

0 new messages. 0 new notifications. Just like usual, of course. Izuku began scrolling through the News, looking at all the articles about his sister, when a different article came up.

Teen suicide rate rises to all time high of 19%

Immediately, Izuku began sobbing as he brought a pillow to his face. Izuku had always had tendencies to not want to live, but had also always been scared of death. He had nothing to protect himself with after all.

He wanted to die, but the very thought of it scared him. About to fall asleep, Izuku heard a ping on his phone. How unusual… Izuku brought it to his face, happy to see it was a text from you. ‘Need 2 talk’.

Seconds later, you walked in silently and laid on the rug at his feet. “The first time… when I was attacked, ya know? I ran into the city and got lost. I was terrified. So, since I like high places, I climbed a rusty iron ladder up over 20 stories to the roof.”

You explained, closing your eyes and reimagining the breathtaking view.

“It was the red brick office building, the one with the faded Insurance logo on the front, and the rusty ladder on the right side. Gosh, you should have been there Izu. The wind was in my hair, and I was taller than the birds. I felt so connected to it…”

You trailed off, once again getting lost in your thoughts of the view.

“An-An-Anyways, back to what I was saying!! After I got attacked, I ran all over. And then I met All Might! H-He talked to me about becoming a hero, and then tonight, he offered to train me!!” You smiled at Izuku as he gave you his best fake-grin.

“I’m going to start training with him everyday until the UA entrance exam, and then I’ll get in!!” You jumped up excitedly as Izuku finally let his smile break apart. “But… what about Mom and I?” He asked you as your grin softened.

“Well, I know I’ll miss you, but I need to learn about going on my own. We’re going to be adults very soon, and I need to separate now. Plus, it’ll only be four years, and I’ll be living at home. We won’t be strangers.” You explained, but he wasn’t convinced.

“So… you really want to go to UA?” He asked, staring you right in the eye, hoping you’d deny. Izuku hoped more than anything that you would say no, and that you wouldn’t leave him. You wouldn’t abandon him, all alone while you pursue your dreams.

“Yes Izuku, I really do. I really think it’ll be good for me. I know you don’t think it’s good but I do.” You began to protest as Izuku stood up. “It might be good for you but what about us? What about you and me?!” Izuku cried out as you turned to him.

“To hell with that! I have dreams Izuku! My dream is to go to UA and become a hero! I was always going to do that with my life!” You fought back, growing defensive. “That was my dream too!” Izuku yelled as you suddenly realized what this was about.

“It’s not my fault you’re quirkless Izu.” You murmured as Izuku began crying. “It’s not my fault either! I don’t want this Ichiko! You can’t leave! You’re all I have!” Izuku began sobbing as you became cold. “Then find something else Izuku. We’re not children anymore.”

You stormed out, slamming your bedroom door behind you. Izuku stood there, frozen with emotion. How had a simple talk gone so bad? He just needed you to know how he felt. You just wanted to talk to him about the future.

Most importantly, you twol had argued. You two never argued. It just wasn’t like you to fight, especially in such a screaming sensation like that.

Izuku’s mind kept replaying the last sentence you had told him before storming out. ‘Then find something else Izuku.’ That had obviously been you telling him to stop being so attached to you.

You had said something about not being children anymore, and now that Izuku thought about it, it all made sense. The way you and Bakugo had become romantic, the way the childhood bullying had intensified, and the way you were slowly drifting away from him.

You were growing up, while Izuku was staying in his childhood. He was still pretending like he could become a hero with his stupid future notebook, and trying to exchange secrets like kids while you went on dates with boys and were training with All Might.

Deku just felt abandoned, sad, and lonely. The people he had put his love in had left him sad and heartbroken. He shut his door and covered himself in blankets, trying to fall asleep when he got visions.

“It was the red brick office building, the one with the faded Insurance logo on the front, and the rusty ladder on the right side.” Izuku got up, frazzled and horrified. Why… Why did he remember those words specifically?

Down the road from the town square, just look for it. Oh god, Izuku had to get out and get some air. He needed to get these horrible thoughts out of his head. He quickly got up, put on his sandals, and ran out.

“I need to get some air Mom!” He yelled at her, but as he looked back to the living room, he saw her sitting at the table, talking away on the phone. Nobody will even notice… Nobody will ever care if I’m gone.

The night passed when you woke up to your alarm clock, like every other day. This day was different, in fact, today was exciting. Over 1000 notifications shown on your phone, you had your first training session with All Might, and tonight, you would get to see Kirishima. You were ecstatic to say the least.

You put on a new uniform that wasn’t coated in slime, brushed your curls, and did your light makeup of mascara, blush, and tinted chapstick. You quickly ran downstairs, bag in hand, to see your tired brother sitting on the couch.

You grabbed him and yourself a protein bar and ran out, waving to your mom. On the walk there, Izuku seemed tired and sluggish, as if he hadn’t slept well. You choose not to ask, not wanting him to grow anymore agitated after your fight the night before.

So you didn’t talk, simply walking the short 3 minute stroll to the gates of your junior high. As soon as you walked through the gates, you were bombarded with your friends, and other classmates crowding around you. In the mix of it, Izuku disappeared from your side.

The topics varied, from your best friends wanting to talk about Bakugou and your safety from the attack, to your admirers wanting to talk about how you defeated a villain, and then of course how it was to meet All Might. Behind a corner, you could see Bakugo glaring at you, watching.

You almost lost your voice throughout the day, talking up a storm with everyone who wanted to talk to you. You were a hero, popular in the media, and someone who radiated girl-power after yelling at Bakugou, the most feared student in the school.

Off in the corner of your eye, you saw Bakugo in the lunch line, ignoring his “friends” and staring off at you once again. Did he feel sorry? Did he miss you? Had he heard about everything? This had been the longest you had gone far without talking.

Lunch time was the first time you got some peace to yourself. You sat at the table with 10 of your good friends, finally able to talk about something good. Bakugo would have been there, but like usual, he was serving detention in the office.

You began eating your bento when Izuku came around the corner from a hallway. “Hey Ichiko, I’m not feeling well. I think I'm going to go home for the day.” You gave him a confused look as he smiled, as if trying to hide something.

“I’m just so tired, and shook up.” You nodded, understanding as Izuku went to leave, but turned back to you. “Just know that whatever happens isn’t your fault. I love you Ichi.” He waved and left, not giving you time to speak. Weird...

Your friends quickly joined you, and you were finally able to go back to normal conversation about teachers, boys, and of course your friend’s drama with their boyfriends or girlfriends. Life was simple, but unfortunately, lunch ended as soon as it started.

You began walking in the hall with one of your friends, going to class, when she began talking about boys. “Kano and I tried but we just didn’t work out. And then Hikaru, the one I told you about with the longer hair, told me that he has a boyfriend which just makes no sense. Like, he’s gay??”

You laughed at your friend's story as you began walking to class. “What about you? Now that Bakugo is out of the picture, who do you have your eye on?” She asked as you giggled, instantly being reminded of Kiri.

“Well, there’s this-“ Before you could say his name, Bakugo slammed the door from the detention room in front of you. “I fucking knew it! Who is it?! Who the fuck has black hair and it still just soooo attractive?!” He screamed, earning everyone’s attention.

“You like him enough to kiss him on the cheek! Huh?! Who the fuck is it?! I swear I’ll rip them to pieces!” Bakugo screamed as you looked at him, unable to comprehend how he knew about Kiri.

“How do you- You’re such a stalker! Were you following me last night?” You asked as Bakugo’s eyes widened. “Tell me who it is!” He screamed as you shook your head. “No! Stay away from me you creep!” You felt your friend put her arm around you and walk you away from him.

Bakugo sighed angrily, watching you walk away without him. With all the eyes in the hallway on him, he stormed off to his next class. You couldn’t help but feel confused. Was he jealous? Was he hurt? Why did you care so much? You missed him…

You walked through the rest of your classes, all eyes on you after being called out for having a mysterious guy friend. It felt strange and weird, yet at the same time you couldn’t wait to see Kiri tonight.

When you walked into your final class, a sense of emotion walked over you. The last day of junior high before high school… it felt so surreal and fake at the same time. You were excited for the future, but scared.

You gave flowers to your favorite teachers, hugged all your friends and classmates, and took many photos. You were just so excited and sad, it was very bittersweet to leave a place you had gone every day for 3 years.

The worst part was the memories. Here, you have become your own person. You had found your own style, your own clique of friends, and your identity. Here, you had realized that you would become a hero.

Yet again, everyday here had been spent with Katsuki by your side. Six school dances, three school festivals, 4 class field trips, and many times when you would hang out behind the school together.

Finally, the day was over, and you were able to walk out into your first second of Summer. Of course, all the thoughts of relaxation were interrupted by a friendly blonde man by the entrance.

You were walking out with your friends when one of them looked at something behind you. “Ichi… Do you know that man?” He asked as you turned to see All Might in his weak form, smiling and waving ecstatically.

You smiled, relieved, and nodded. “Yep, that’s my… uncle. Anyways, I’ll call you guys later. We have training to do.” You explained as a girl to your left smiled. “Ahh yes, you are a hero in the making according to Channel 5 News after all.”

You waved to your group before running over to All Might who leaned against the school gate. “Young Ichiko, you’re looking well after last night.” He grinned warmly as you nodded. “Yea, I’ve had a pretty… eventful day.” You smiled back as you began walking.

He explained to you how he would train you to the max in hopes of making you as powerful as possible for the entrance exam, and would even train you past that until you succeeded him. He also told you about how he was going to be a UA teacher, and would keep a close eye on you always.

You two walked to the quiet beach, and began. He made you move rocks with him standing on it, threw things at you with speed and made you stop them, and of course made you go underwater and control the oxygen to keep you from getting wet.

It was hard, eventful, and left you dramatically breathing, almost gasping for air. And yet, after, you weren’t done. He made you throw rocks into the air and sent them as far as possible. He made you manipulate the ground, and use it to make you faster.

You also began running miles on the road, All Might flying above you to shout empty commands and uplifting remarks. It was all hard, and you were so tired, but you would do anything to become a hero like him.

Finally, when it was over three hours after school, you fell to your knees, feeling your heartbeat in your eyes and like you were about to throw up. “Well, I guess we can stop here. That was a very good first day, I'm excited to see how you improve tomorrow.”

He grinned, sitting on a rock nearby. All Might stood and helped you back to your feet. “You look just pitiful. Come now, let me buy you some food.” All Might held onto your arm to keep you up as you both began to walk to a nearby café in town.

He bought you a sandwich and a smoothie, tipping the cashier a 20$ bill. Being the 1# hero in the world had its perks financially of course, and All Might was rolling in the dough.

You two walked to a park bench, and sat down happily. You had a lot of fun with All Might, and he enjoyed his time with you. He likes hearing about your life, and your crazy stories. He liked it when you talked about your friends, and your brother.

You were just talking about the one time your friend and you jumped off waterfalls in Hawaii and then had to run from a water snake when you got a text message from Izuku. Your face froze, and your heart rate accelerated.

“Young Ichiko, are you alright?” All Might asked, noticing your happy demeanor turn dark. You stared at your phone as you began shaking. “Oh god, Ichiko?! Are you hurt?” All Might asked as he turned to look at your phone screen. “Oh dear.”

“I’ll miss you.”

“Tell mom I love her.”

“Goodbye.”

Instantly, you quickly went to your tracking app that you had with Izuku and your mom, and looked at Izuku’s location. “He’s… just down the street from the town square. In the Kyoko Insurance Firm?” All Might asked, confused and worried like you. “No… he’s on the building I told him about.”

You jumped up and turned to All Might. “Can you fly?” You asked him as she shook his head. “I used up all my time for the day.” He explained as you began running into town.

“I just have to run.” You sighed and began running into town, ignoring the burning in your legs and keeping your eyes on your phone. Through the town square, deep into two alleyways, and then down the street. You could already see a small group forming at the base of the building, looking up.

You threw yourself onto the ladder and climbed as fast as possible to the top. It only took a minute before you were staring at your brother who stood on the edge. “You shouldn’t have come here Ichi. I already said goodbye.”

You began to step forward as he turned around to face you. “Izuku, don’t do this. I promise you, you don’t want to kill yourself.” You pleaded as he stared bullets. “My life is useless Ichiko. I’m not athletic. I’m not smart. I’m not powerful.”

You began crying, shaking your head as you heard All Might come up behind you. “Izuku, if you jump off this building I’ll jump too.” You threatened as he shook his head and laughed. “No you won’t. You’re not stupid. Your life is meaningful. You have a bright future Ichiko.”

The tears kept coming as you shook your head, pleading with him. “Izuku, how can I live the life we dreamed of without you?” You asked as he smiled warmly. “Live life to the fullest, and have no regrets. Live it for the both of us.” Before you could speak, Izuku leaned back off the building.

Like time was slowing down, you ran as fast as you could towards the edge of the building and reached for his hand. The look in his face showed peace as he closed his eyes. You let your arm reach for his, but we’re unable to reach.

As All Might watched this, he felt a rush in his blood as he grew to his hero-form and ran to you. Flying off the building, he was able to use his last ounce of energy to reach his hand around your waist and keep both him and you in the air.

Unfortunately for them both, it gave you a front row seat as you watched her twin brother fall to his death. You cupped your hands around your mouth, your eyes glued to his limp body that laid on the sidewalk.

Screams of horror and worry could be heard below as everyone ran to Izuku. Slowly, All Might lowered you to the sidewalk in the middle of the group. Instantly, you all were recognized. You dropped to your knees, unable to speak or move.

You lightly poked his arm, begging for a response. “I-Izu?” You gasped as blood began to fill uniform shirt. “No! Someone call an ambulance! Somebody, please!” You screamed as loud as you could, fighting against All Might who began to hold you back.

“Young Ichiko, there’s no use.” He whispered as you shook your head, trying your best to fight your way out of his grip. “No! No! He’s not dead! I need to help him, let me go!”

All Might finally twisted you around to face him and spoke to you. “He’s dead Ichiko! He’s dead, and I’m so sorry.” You began crying as you hugged him tightly. “Come now, let’s get you home. You shouldn’t have to see this.”

All Might began flying you home in his hero form, finally reaching your driveway. You could see that by then, your mother had run out, even leaving the door open on her way to the car.

With the sun setting in the background, All Might sat you on the front porch with him, and let you two sit in silence. Just as All Might was about to say something, dozens of cars pulled up to the street in front, allowing camera men and reporters to spill out.

Obviously, you should have known that the 1# hero and a media sensation in the same place would bring attention.

“Miss Midoryia, is it true that you witnessed your brother’s suicide?” One asked, not passing the curb to the house but filming you two. “All Might, how do you feel about not being able to save her brother?” Another man asked, trying to get his microphone as close to them as possible.

“I’ll get them out, do not-“ All Might was interrupted by someone rushing through the crowd. “Ichiko?! Ichiko?! Oh my god!” Kirishima pushed through the crowd and ran to you in a hurry. “Are you okay? Why are all these people here? Oh… All Might?”

When he and All Might made eye contact, All Might smiled warmly at you. “I can tell you’re in good hands. I’m going to get these reporters away from here. See you later Young Ichiko.”

He patted your head and smiled sadly before flying off. Sure enough, more than half the cars followed along. “Shh…Shh.” Kirishima wipes the tears from under your eyes lovingly.

He brought a blanket from your living room and held your hand. “I’m supposing you saw.” You whispered weakly, your voice shaking harshly as Kirishima nodded slowly. “Y-Yea. Oh Ichiko, I’m so sorry.” He wrapped his arms around you as you cuddled on the outdoor porch swing.

“You want to go inside?” Kirishima asked as you shook your head. “I can’t. It reminds me of him too much.” You explained as he sadly held you in his arms. You watched the sun set over the hills, and cuddled deeper into Kirishima.

It was until it grew dark, and you got a call from Mitsuki. Kirishima picked it up and held it to your ear. “Hey Baby. Your mom and I are going to be out for a while, but your mom ordered something pizza for the house for you to eat while we’re gone.”

Mitsuki explained as you nodded. “Okay. W-Wait, can you ask Mom if I can have a friend spend the night?” You asked as Kirishima’s eyes lit up. “She’s not here right now, but I’ll give you permission. It’s not safe for you to be alone right now sweetie.”

And with that, Mitsuki hung up. “D-Do you want to go inside?” Kirishima asked nervously with a blush, noticing you shivering. You nodded, and without even trying, Kirishima picked you up bridal style and brought you inside.

He sat you on the bar stool, and got you a glass of water from the kitchen. You smiled in a comfortable silence as small tears kept streaming down your face. “D-Do you want a tour?” You tried to smile as Kirishima leaned against the counter. “Of course.”

You got up and grabbed onto his arm as you walked around. “This is the kitchen, and living room. That small room over there is the plant room where all the sunlight is.” You showed him the smaller room with a music speaker and lots of windows.

Upstairs, you began to walk down the hallway. “Here’s my mom’s room, here’s the bathroom, here’s…” You turned to look into the All Might filled, grey room with a welcome sign on the front of the door.

Just thinking of it, you remembered just that morning when you had gone to talk to him. You had told him about your plans for UA, and he had gotten upset. He had been fearful about you two leaving each other. Did that have anything to do with him killing himself?

Seeing you were about to cry, Kirishima put his arm around your waist and pulled you close. You snapped out of it and began walking again. “This is the bathroom. You can shower whenever.” You both blushed as you got to your bedroom.

“Here’s my room.” You began to walk in, causing him to follow you. Your room was a large light painted room with a queen bed next to your huge window with a desk, a full-body mirror, and led lights. You had a big closet, and you had a lot of plants all around.

“Super cute.” Kirishima looked around your room before peering out the window. “There’s… a big tree right there.” He commented as you turned and smiled at him. “Good t know.” He played it off like it was nothing but you knew what he was talking about.

You sat on the bed together, resting your head on his shoulder. “It hurts…” You whispered, feeling the tears building up again. Everything you looked at seemed to remind you of him again and again.

“I know. And it will for a while, but it’s going to be okay. Things have a way of having a good ending, even if it’s bittersweet.” Kirishima tried his best to make you feel better, and in some way, it worked.

You grabbed a blanket and threw it over you two before laying back onto the bed. Kirishima slowly followed, embarrassed yet wanting to lay down with you. You cuddled against him with his back to the window, facing him and cuddling against him.

You two decided to turn on the tv in your room and give the airless tension with background noise. He wiped your tears, told you funny stories, and made you feel better. He was good at comforting you when you felt at your worst moment.

From the street, Katsuki stared up at the window as he sat on the street curb. He had tried to come by early when the driveway had been filled with reporters, but yet again, the black-haired douche was right there with you.

Now, he had tried to come check on you, cake in hand, when he saw you cuddling with Mr.-I-have-long-black-shiny-hair. Not only that, but in bed. At night. WITHOUT INKO THERE. Katsuki refused to be replaced for his girl by some extra.

nd then he types ‘punz we’re all outside your house get over here’ which is 47 characters nd 9 words nd it took him 5 seconds to type which is 564 cpm and 108 wpm so his average (from these two samples which. isnt a lot. should i do a post abt this in the future?) is 124 wpm and 622 cpm. hes so fast.

SDA;FKJASDF PHIL WHY R U SO VIOLENT

02:17:00 PUNZ POG ALSO MANIFOLD KILLED IN THE HOLY LAND

technos complainin bout the fights bein boring,,,,,,,fight them all, techno. do it. 1v8. do it, coward.

02:24:02 ‘maybe the real combat was the friends we made along the way’

02:25:16 i love that technos first instinct when someone dies is to check what sword/axe killed them nd what enchants r on it aldskfjads

i love how techno calls the manhunt music ‘dream music’ its so funny to me

right before he ends the stream he says ‘p e r h a p s’ to techno plushies and i just,,,, wa n t

if ya just want an actual summary and not that MESS:

Technoblade starts the stream in his house. the first thing he does is put another piece of fanart in his house, this one by snumkt on twitter. he goes to l’manburg, where he sneaks around very sneakily (/s) and replaces anti-techno propaganda with pro-techno fanart, stating that “If they take it down, it’s ‘cause they hate fanartists.” (00:09:18).

While placing posters, Techno checks in on his hound army, and reveals that he thinks someone had been in the area, because a wolf teleported to him while he was home. He thinks someone placed water, the dog stood up, and then teleported. (00:18:25)

After breeding the dogs, Techno reads donations and one of the questions is about the SBI family dynamics. Here’s what he says at 00:20:55

He then meets up with Philza, who is being escorted by Tubbo. Techno goes to Philzas house, and hides in his new basement. He joins their VC and finds Phil, Wilbur, Tommy, and Tubbo. talking about birthdays. Tubbo goes to the basement and sees Technos invis particles, hits him, and he is revealed. Techno kills tubbo, and declares it canon as a joke.

He goes back outside, deafened on Discord, and puts down more propaganda. Philza joins his call, and they meet up to try and find Technos stolen items. They don’t find the barrel, but they do find a hidden room under the podium. Techno puts a piece of propaganda in the room. (00:43:30)

While Phil is killing an enderman, Ranboo finds them, and is killed by Techno. (00:46:25)

Techno takes Phil to see his Hound Army, but they’re stopped by Tubbo. Techno tries to pretend to be Ranboo, but Ranboo goes up to them, so his cover is blown. Techno’s chased to the portal. Phil and Techno meet again in the Nether, and they go back to the house.

At the house, Phil and Techno talk about the SBI characters, the sellout timer goes off, and then they go downstairs to cure a zombie villager. While it’s curing, Techno gathers books to make a new bow, with Power V, Punch II, Unbreaking III, Flame, and Mending.

Philza reveals that Ranboo is coming over to give Phil a present. Techno seems excited at this, mostly at the fact that Ranboo can be his new bows test subject.

Before Ranboo arrives, the villager is cured, and they find out it is a nitwit, meaning it can’t trade or get a job. Techno and Phil start working on a tunnel to bring the villager to a lava pool, so the other villagers won’t gossip and raise their prices.

Ranboo joins the call at 01:15:35, right before they’re going to bring the villager to the lava pool. He gifts Techno and Phil four Netherite ingots.

After struggling to get the villager to the right height, Techno forces Ranboo to boat the villager into the lava. Ranboo escapes by throwing a pearl, and the villager dies.

Ranboo, Techno, and Phil talk about duping Netherite, and the current plot, and then Techno finds a zombie baby villager. It’s caught in a boat, and Techno nametags it ‘Orphan.’ They talk about the cobblestone tower, Philzas’ death to a baby zombie, and how if you don’t see a child's parents, you should assume that they are an orphan and attack them.

Techno talks to Jack Manifold through chat about his axe. Techno, Philza, and Ranboo go around and look for zombie villagers. Techno finds an igloo, with two villagers. Techno was going to try and turn them into zombie villagers, but decides to not when he finds out that theres a 0% chance of that happening on Easy mode.

They all go back to Orphan, and bully it when they find out it still hasn’t grown up. Techno and Ranboo make a joke about how it’s traumatized, so it’ll be funny and can be come a minecraft youtuber. please get some help. (01:48:15)

After Orphan grows up, Techno trades and gets the Bottle of Enchanting trade for one emerald. They all joke about Techno owning an orphanage at 01:51:35.

Phil, Techno, and Ranboo decide go to the Hound Army, but Techno remembers that Ranboo is part of L’manburg, and tries to kill him (with his new bow) when they enter the nether. He doesn’t succeed, and he continues fighting until he drinks and invis pot on the Prime Path. Techno and Phil meet up in the Bee Dome, where Ranboo finds them. Techno tries to kill him, but runs out of arrows.

After reading donations, Techno, Ranboo, and Phil are back together at the Bee Dome, and they decide to team up in case someone finds them. They go outside of the Dome, and chase Jack Manifold out of his own country.

Manifold joins the VC, and they try to blame Punz on his attempted murder. After Manifold says “i feel there has been an attempt on my life,” Techno says that that’s how he greets people in his country.

Manifold asks if they want to help him get revenge on Punz, and Techno agrees. They gather more people, and by the time they get to Punz’s tower, their party is Manifold, Techno, Phil, Ranboo, Fundy, and Antfrost. Punz is in the Nether, so they wait until he gets back.

Ranboo and Techno have a whisper conversation:

Ranboo: are you just going to jump fundy

Techno: no im gonna make jack 1v1 LMAO

Ranboo: good plan

While Fundy is taking a screenshot of Techno for his thumbnail, Philza attacks Fundy with a crossbow and his sword. He claims it was because he was getting bored.

In the same spirit, Techno asks if they could kill Manifold to pass the time. The mob, which now includes Fundy, chases Manifold. He runs to the Holy Land, and the mob boos him. Techno tells Antfrost to kill Manifold, and that the mob won’t tell that he was killed in the Holy Land. Manifold hands Antfrost his sword.

While Antfrost debates killing Manifold or not, the mob chants ‘peer pressure!’ at him. Techno quickly realizes that Antfrost isn’t in the VC, and is extremely confused. The sword gets handed to Fundy, who gets into a battle with Manifold. Philza tells Fundy that he’s forgiven, if he can kill Manifold. The battle calms, and neither of the contestants die.

Techno convinces the mob to go to the pit trap, and tries to lure someone onto the trapped blocks using rotten flesh. Fundy takes the bait, but moves out of the way before the button is pressed. Antfrost sneaks up behind him and punches him into the pit. Fundy survives the fall, but is shot by Manifold to death.

During the commotion, Punz makes his way back to his house, and the mob moves towards him to end his life. Manifold says that he’s going to kill Punz, and Techno says that the mob’ll have his back. He tells the mob to not have Manifold’s back.

at 02:17:00, Punz joins the call, and is confused as to why Manifold wants to kill him. Manifold explains that Punz tried to kill him, siting his source as Technoblade.

also, 2:17:15 technoswear!

Techno encourages Punz, saying “Punz, he actually dropped his sword by accident and now I have it, so it’d be really easy to beat him up,” and “he also just killed in the holy land, so you have a sort of...religious motivation to take him out.”

Punz tries to fight Manifold without armor (Manifold is wearing a full enchanted set of armor, with a Netherite chestplate and everything else Diamond), which fails miserably, and Manifold is killed.

Techno decides to fight Manifold with his goons (the mob) for the audience retention, and Manifold’s quickly killed. The final hit was from CaptainPuffy. Ponk rushes in and grabs some of Manifold’s items. Puffy takes the rest.

Manifold complains about getting bullied, so Techno gives him his sword back and tells him to avenge himself. While looking for Ponk (or Punz? this is kinda unclear), Punz swoops in and kills Manifold in two hits.

Manifold finds Ponk and chases after him, trying to kill him. The mob follows, and Ranboo kills Ponk with thorns. Manifold takes Ponks stuff.

Right after respawning, Ponk was blown up by a creeper, and Techno claimed both as canon.

The mini fights continue, and Manifold is killed by Punz.

Ranboo changes the ‘Days since last war crime’ sign to 0.

Phil tells Techno that he’s going back to the base, and the L’manburgians question him as to what base he’s talking about. Phil tells Fundy that he ripped off his ankle shackles and left. While they talk, Techno starts running back to the base, and Ranboo whispers “lets run back” to him. Ranboo follows Techno, but quickly looses him.

Phil and Techno join a separate VC together and they go back to the base.

At 02:29:15, Phil says “I trust you” to Techno and I am going to cry.

Right before getting to the base, Phil drinks some honey, and Techno says “that’s the only thing we have honey for, now that we’ve uh...uh I guess you don’t know about that.” He’s referring to the Vault, I think, because the redstone required honey to work properly.

Philza responds, “the honey- wait, what did you use the honey for?”

“uhhh....food.” Techno, for some reason, doesn’t want to show Phil the vault.

Ranboo whispers to Techno: “My alliance isnt with lmanburg, its with the people who help me. phil helped me.”

out loud, Techno laughs about it with phil, saying, “well, I’ve stabbed him like twelve times this week, so, I [laughs] I don’t know if that entirely qualifies here.”

Techno messages Ranboo back with “new phone who this”

Ranboo replies, “no one,” and then, “:)”

Going back to the honey talk, Philza asked if Techno had been hiding anything diabolical from him, and Techno asks if he would do such a thing. Philza guesses several things he could use honey for, such as a flying machine, TNT dupers, and a door.

Techno takes him to the vault. 02:32:00. i LOVE peoples reactions to the vault, it’s always so good. Philza responds with a surprised ‘HOLY SHIT’ and some laughing. Techno also confirms my math of 55 withers.

02:34:10 “i’ve seen this government, on the server, and everything to do with government is just bad. I’ve watched it completely destroy and tear down people’s wills and change people, I’ve seen it change the nicest people into complete and utter tyrants, so...I think it’s about time--”

“We need revenge. [sellout timer goes off] and more importantly, we neED SUBSCRIBERS ON YOUTUBE DOT COM” phil joinin anarchy pog?

anyway that was it ;alskdfjas;f

#this ended up bein abt 3000 words whoops #a;ldskfjasldf #technoblade #stream post

He told my mom I should switch out to a different class to get a better education. Specifically his honors class. But if I do that then I might not be able to see him anymore And that’ll kill me. But if I stay in his boring dumb people class then that’ll kill me too. Worst part is if I do end up in his Honors English class then I’ll have to leave my friend in math. So if I do this the bad might out weigh the good. So idk get a better education with an ugly teacher, leave my friend, or be surround by dumb dumbs all year. Agh plz help(17:19)

I decided I have to get a better education like I can’t just stay in that class and not do what I have to do to get a good education. But like I’ll miss him. Or I’ll miss my friends and my other teachers idk. Idk idk idk, I just know I’m like feeling fucked rn:(((((((((((17:59)

I think I’ll probs be seperated from him. I mean it’s better this way cause I’ll get a better edu in an honors class and have a better time but like I’ll miss him he’s really cute. I might just sign up for the journalism club he oversees but idk I already have a tuff time in keyboard so idk if I can keep up with it all:((19:39)

I’m pretty sure this all my emotions for all school stuff and him like I thinks that’s all so bye (´ε｀ )♡ (21:31)

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Episodes 16-30

Insert COIN to Continue.

If Ex-Aid hadn't clicked with me in its first 15 episodes, it's with much joy that I come here to say that I think I finally get this show and I'm here for it!

Yes, I still have quite a few of problems, and a lot of the complaints I had in my previous post are still present in here, but my enjoyment of the show has only been growing more and more with each new episode I watch to the point where now only very few aspects of it still annoy me really hard and I can let go of things more easily like, for example, the weird dialogue and the comedy style that while are still aspects that I don't like but that now I can get past that without being bothered.

Honestly, what bothers me the most is that I didn't know the show had such a clear break into two parts and that I divided the episodes for the reviews in a way that will make a bit weird to talk about, especially in this post. I didn't expect episodes 1 through 23 would end up being a big arc, with episodes 24 onward being kind of a different thing, a step-up from the previous arc. But oh well...

Since these episodes were clearly divided into two separate arcs I'll do the same here and comment on them separately.

This first part, going from episodes 16 to 23, are a bit weird to comment on because even inside them there's also a mini division we can make, episodes 16, 18, 19 and 20 are like a mini-arc to give Brave and Snipe power-ups while 21, 22, and 23 have more like an end game plot going on, and episode 17 is kinda just hanging around there, a bit out of place that usually would be considered a filler but that introduces a character that is used later on so while we can't completely disregard that episode we also can't really put it in the same basket as the others.

The first portion is the weakest of this whole section, being completely honest I don't remember much about it, I know Brave and Snipe get their asses kicked and they lose his gashats and that was pretty cathartic, but then Genm did his thing again and gave them Level 50 power-ups and I was a bit disappointed, not really in aesthetic levels or powers, like I don't care for Snipe's but I love how Brave looks and I think is really cool that he can command a troop of minions, my biggest problem is that the power-up is in one of those double gashats with that ugly circle thing and they have to share it but the division isn't really fair since Snipe has been keeping it for way more time than Brave did. But oh well.

Oh also during this part my hate for Kuroto was constantly raising, I really despise this man and whenever someone wipes the floor with him is like I'm having an overdose of serotonin because he's an awful human being and that's what he deserves and seeing him being fucked up brings me a lot of joy.

The mini-arc of episodes 21 to 23 is when things start to get interesting as we see the plot unveiling mysteries and the gears grinding in incredible speed making these three episodes feel like the end of a season. Now, as interesting and exciting that it was to watch this climax payout I do have some problems here. My biggest one is that, once again, they made Emu WAY too special, now he's not just a doctor, a genius gamer, and patient 0 from the game illness, but he's also the reason why Kuroto is like this nowadays, and different from what we thought he's been incubating this virus since he was a little kid because Kuroto is such a shit human being that he sent an infected game to a kid because apparently, he thinks only him can be a game developer in this world and come up with ideas for games. And yes, this is very in-character, Dan Kuroto would really do stuff like this, is the fact that they make so many things focused on a single person that bothers me.

Another thing I have a problem here, although it's a much smaller one if compared to my previous point is just how convenient it was for the show to put a way to reprogram the virus in Kiriya's computer. I think my problem here is just how easy they got the information, you know? They knew from that detective that Kiriya was digging up something and Hiiro decides to look for information and in the first place he looks he just happens to find his computer and the files in his research were there. Again, it's a minor thing, but I felt like I had to comment on this.

One thing that I really enjoyed in this mini-arc was Kuroto's plan to avoid the Ministry and still get data in his hands by infecting himself with the virus to appeal to Emu's emotions. Again, a very in-character decision and the way it played out was very fun even though it was pretty clear he allowed himself to be caught seeing how easy it was for them. The way things escalated leading to his death was also pretty good, it's a bit annoying that his death gets reverted only a few episodes later, for a show that is constantly talking about doctors dealing with death having a death be reversed is a bit counter-intuitive.

As a result of this conflict, we get Ex-Aid's Level 99 power-up, and while it's cool that is a gashat he made it himself and that he used Kiriya's driver after his was fried up by Genm, holy jesus how ugly is this thing. It's so huge and bulky most of the scenes with him moving have to be done in CGI because that looks like hell to walk on wearing it. This just isn't the ugliest power-up of this season because Snipe still has the worst designs, but oh gosh.

After episode 23 we enter in the Kamen Rider Chronicle arc, where being led by Parad they gather data from the missing games by reviving Graphite and brainwashing Poppy, and Ex-Aid becomes a light novel with a battle royale/survival game that actually kills people when they get a game over (or upload them to the cloud and erase their physical bodies apparently because now they're saying those people can be revived).

Attempts of joke aside, while it's not anything new that they're doing here I do like how they implemented the concept in the story. It's pretty cool having regular people acting up as the players while the Riders we follow are like special NPCs that drop rare items when defeated, it's a fun gimmick and it's also a way to the villains to put another obstacle to the riders without having to do much.

I think what I liked the most in this plot was the mini-arc they had for Poppy, up until this point I didn't really have a strong opinion on her but what they had with her in these episodes was pretty cool. To begin they gave her a pretty dope song, at first I questioned what they were trying to do there but when we get to know that her whole singing scene was part of a brainwashing process it turns things really interesting. But is the journey of her freeing herself from this brainwash that really does it for me, when she starts remembering memories from the person that she took over she gets in this existential crisis and it gave us some great moments, I really like that scene in episode 28 when she's there trying to tell everyone AND herself that humans and bugsters are enemies and Emu puts himself in the line kinda with a wake-up call for her, it was pretty awesome. I feel like she also got way more agency after the events in that episode and I hope they keep that with her. Oh, we also got Kamen Rider Poppy which wasn't a thing I necessarily needed, but that was still pretty cool.

But because not everything can be flowers I have two major issues for this part as well, the two are things that I already mentioned so I won't take too long with them. The first one is obviously the "making Emu too special" thing since it gets established that Parad is the bugster that Emu incubated for all those years and that Parad is actually Emu's "second personality". Again, it's a cool concept, and there's one episode in which Parad gets control of Emu's body and they have a fight between each other while in Ex-Aid's Level 20 form and it was cool as heck, is just the fact that they keep adding layers to Emu like he's the center of the entire universe that makes me feel kinda iffy about it.

The second aspect I don't like is the reversibility of death. I get that this is a show for kids so they would come up with a way to bring everyone that died in Kamen Rider Chronicle because this doesn't seem like the type of show that would just obliterate a lot of people out of existence like that, my problem is with bringing back characters that have some sort of impact with the characters. Yeah, so far we only had Kuroto and he's back but not really since now he's a bugster and Poppy can keep him under control with her drive, though let's be honest this won't last too long, but they're raising the possibility of bringing Hiiro's girlfriend back and I'm sure they would try to bring Kiriya back too and is this thing that I feel like it goes against some of the messages this show is trying to pass to his main character. Emu is constantly facing death and as a Doctor he will face it many times in different contexts and part of the process for him to learn how to deal with this he needs to feel the effects of mourning for those who passed away, but when you bring people back from that while it doesn't revert what he went through makes it feel like death isn't as serious. This is a thing Rider likes to do a lot honestly, I mean look at Ghost, and it never sat with me well, but I feel like in this season in especial, as I mentioned, it's very counter-intuitive.

And I believe that's all I have to say for now. I feel like I'm way too repetitive, and that's a problem I should work on, but I have to say this again, I'm still having my problems with Ex-Aid but these problems aren't cutting down my enjoyment of the show and I'm really excited to see how all of this will come up together in the end. If you have anything to say about my comments or these episodes please let me know in the comments, I'll be very happy to have other people insight into this show. Stay healthy, stay safe, never stop resisting, thank you so so much for reading and until the next time. See you in the next game!

Lovey Dovey Questions:

Reverting to my happy little Tumblr days; blogging away with my 16 year-old wistful intentions but now I’m married and all kinds of in lurrrrv. How did you meet?  My roommate and I got invited to a Young Adults Potluck/game night at our Church. We only knew one person there, but before we got there my roommate kept telling me “you’re about to meet your husband. I can’t believe we’re going to go to this tonight and you’re going to meet your husband.” But the majority of the night we sat in the corner with our one friend a bunch of girls and were planning on leaving to go to get food. I thought “I’m not meeting my husband here...”. But then we played a group game and I noticed him from across the room, and he noticed me. And the rest is history. How did he ask you to be his?   We met up at the union on campus to talk, we had just told each other the night before that we had feelings for one another. We walked to the parking garage together and he kept making comments about “us”. So I asked him in the garage--what exactly is “us”. And then we made a logical and rational decision to date. Your first memory with them: Going to a restaurant after the game night, thinking he was cute but so serious and probably too cool for me. And thinking that he would make a good husband to someone someday. Why is your relationship different from others you have had? I was ready, he was ready. We had both taken a few years off from dating to determine what we should be looking for in a partner and to grow as humans on our own. We have a strong dedication to communication and intentionality. Ten things you like about them.  1. His passionate pursuit of Jesus. 2. His intentional pursuit of our marriage. 3. His ability to be goofy, relaxed, and silly with me but be mature, serious, and polished in public. 4. He’s a great listener and a strong conversationalist. 5. His depth and intelligence. 6. His love of black coffee, the sun and water, minimalism, sustainability. 7. His gentleness and emotional availability. 8. His tender heart and natural kindness. 9. His respect for me. 10. His ability to lead well. How often do you see each other?  In the morning when we wake up and at night before we go to bed. No matter how crazy and busy our lives get, getting to do that is such a blessing.

1: Do you have a crush at the moment? on someone who can’t ghost me; 10/10 recommend. 2: Have you ever been deeply in love? currently a deeply in love lady. 3: Longest relationship you’ve ever been in? 23 months tomorrow. 4: Have you ever changed for someone? Ironically, I changed more for the ones I didn’t actually date; tried to change to get them and clearly it didn’t work. 0/10 not recommended. 5: How is your relationship with your ex? One is friendly and two are non-existent. 6: Have you ever been cheated on? I don’t have proof but I believe there was a little somethin somethin going down behind my back. 7: Have you ever cheated? No. 8: Would you date someone who’s well known for cheating? no longer an option, but I think I would really struggle with that. 9: What’s the most important parts of a relationship? An ability to communicate, to be partners and to balance one another out, to complement each others strengths and weaknesses. 10: Do you like to be in serious relationships or just flings? I like being married. 11: When you are dating someone do you believe in going on “breaks”? Nahhhhhhhh 13: What’s one thing you regret saying/doing in a previous relationship? Being in relationships before I was confident/comfortable with who I was, and having relationships that were not Christ-centered and wondering why they weren’t working. 14: What age do you think is appropriate for kids to start having sex? I think the fact that this says “kids” is clear that the answer is never. 15: Do you believe in the phrase “age is just a number”? In some sense, yes. But cultural/generational things will play an impact. 16: Do you believe in “love at first sight”? No; I think love is a choice and something to work at. 17: Do you believe it’s possible to fall in love on the internet? In some situations, sure; however again I think it takes communication and work. 18: What do you consider a deal breaker? Not knowing and following the Lord. Unequally yoked is a thing. 19: How do you know it’s time to end a relationship? If there are clear signs that a future is not going to happen, it’s likely that it will be more painful later on. 20: Are you currently in a relationship? Indeed. 21: Do you think people who have dated can stay friends? Honestly, no. I think you can remain cordial and friendly, but I don’t think it’s healthy or fair to continue a close friendship. 22: Do you think people should date their friends? Yes; I think friendship can have a solid foundation for a strong relationship. 23: How many relationships have you had? truthfully one that matters. 24: Do you think love can last forever? yes 25: Do you believe love can conquer all things? love and the Lord. 26: Would you break up with someone your parents didn’t approve of? It would depend on the basis for disapproval. If there were genuine concern for safety, red flags I wasn’t seeing, if I was in danger, than yes. Thankfully, my mom more than approves of Alex. 27: If you could go back in time and give yourself one piece of advice about dating what would it be? Wait wait wait; be patient and focus more on yourself, guard your heart more. 28: Do you think long distance relationships can work? They can, but they take a LOT of intentionality and work; and need to have a resolution in sight. 29: What do you notice first about another person? Probably height, and overall demeanor (calm, loud, etc.) 30: Are you straight, bi, gay or pansexual? straight. 31: Would it bother you if your partner suffered from any mental illness? no, but I am thankful that he doesn’t because I do, and I appreciate the balance. 32: Have you ever been in an abusive relationship? in some sense. 33: Do you want to get married one day? I am! 34: What do you think about getting your partner’s name tattooed? That’s a no from me dawg. 35: Could you be in a relationship without sex? I’m thankful that I’m not, but till death do us part and if sex was no longer an option for us--we would be just fine. 36: Are you still a virgin? I am a married lady. 37: What’s more important: Looks or personality? looks will not last forever. Personality and a desire to be a good steward of your body. 38: Do you enjoy love films? I’m not a big movie person tbh 39: Have you ever given anyone/received roses? Alex occasionally surprises me with them which is rad. 40: Have you ever had a valentine? Only one that counts! 41: What’s your imagination of a “perfect date”? Going to the beach, eating sushi, watching the sunset (or rise; but switch the sushi for coffee), worship music and reading together. 43: What’s more important: Your partner or your friends? Husband is first. 44: Would you consider yourself “romantic”? I like ironic romance; cute gestures that purposely meant to be cheesy. 45: Could you imagine to date one of your current friends? I am married to my favorite friend. 46: Have you ever been “friendzoned”? honestly...no. 48: What’s your favorite love song? oh gosh, want me to make a whole damn list About Him.

Name? Alex Age? 31 When did you two begin dating? March 2018

What do you think of him? He’s okay...I guess. What does he think of you? Probably that I’m weird and kind of smell. Who asked who out first? I believe he did after some strong hinting from me. Did you like him before he asked you? I was intrigued but also guarded. How old were you two? 25 and 29 What did you think of it at first? After about 5 minutes I was concerned he was “like, actually weird”. But by the end of the night I felt like I had just met a future best friend. Has it been a good relationship so far? Indeed. Cutest thing he’s ever done? Goodness; surprising me with the cheesiest gift set-up when I woke up on Valentines Day morning. Bringing me a rose with the medicine he picked up for me when I was sick. Making me a handmade birthday card. Setting up a table with our pictures and couples Christmas gifts for when I came back from the holidays. Do you have a “song”? “God Be” By Chris Renzema What was your most memorable experience? Getting married. And all that went into that decision, proces, etc. When is your actual anniversary? Well...3/24/18, but also 7/14/19, and 11/12/19, and maybe 8/8/2020. Do you guys tell each other everything? every.thing. Probably too much. Marriage. What’s your favorite thing to do together? read and pray. drink coffee. go for hikes/walks. Find tiny cabins in the middle of nowhere and hole up for a weekend doing married people things. Most fun date you two have been on? This past valentines we ate too much sushi and had a movie night with wine and donuts. Last summer we went to a leadership conference, the zoo, walked around Royal Oak, and got dinner with my family. Or our mini-honeymoon; the beach, staying at a B&B, sushi for dinner, wine and exchanging vows alone. How did ya’ll first kiss? We had planned on not kissing for a month but we were eating hummus and watching Miracle and decided to make it happen. What does he call you? We’re pretty exclusively on “babe” Has anyone ever seriously proposed to you? And it worked.

4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 16, 19 and 20 for skz, bts and Monsta X💕

:0 woot okay girl I see you!!!

Stray Kids Biases: Woojin, Hyunjin

Who threatens their title? Who is your bias wrecker?

Low-key all of them 😂 Uh but Minho and Chan because they’re both serious hoes!!! Felix is a close second

First impression of them.

Woojin :’) I knew from the start that he was a whole teddy bear! But I was also oddly intimidated by him??? Like I’m not sure why cause seriously look at him! ;-; Maybe it was those broad shoulders 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hyunjin gave me shy-boy vibes at first? And I guess I was half right? Like, I literally just wanted to scoop him up and give him all the cuddles and love in the universe! And then I heard him laugh… lucifer came for me that day!

The sweetest thing they have done.

Does… does existing count in any way, shape, or form?

Something they did that made you laugh.

Omg so normally when I hear an idol speak English and they’re not fluent, I just smile because I know they’re trying and I think that’s super cute? But with Woojin, I can’t help but giggle! His English is literally one of my favorite things and I giggle every time I hear it 🤗💞

Every time I think of funny moments, I think of the time Hyunjin wanted “a safe show” and they ended up giving him a blanket 😂😂 my brain failed me on which show this happened on so please lemme know since I’m sure someone remembers!

Favorite performance.

Hyunjin’s Cover of ‘Attention’ 😳💀

Woojin’s ‘I am YOU’ FanCam MCOUNTDOWN my boy’s such a fluid dancer and his singing!!! 😭 if Woojin’s voice is the literal stars, please take me there!

If you had the opportunity to tell them something what would it be?

I’d tell both of them how thankful I am for everything, how much they’ve changed my life for the better and how much I appreciate and commend them and the rest of the boys for getting up every day and working as hard as they do to entertain us and live their dream. And that any doubts they have may be normal, but they’re such a beacon of light in a dark world and we really need that right now.

A concept you would like to see them do (again)

Bro, I wanna see a cuter concept than Get Cool, ngl 😏 I mean, we’ve seen a mainly go hard/serious Stray Kids from the beginning. I’m so ready for a super playful song that still screams Stray Kids!

Do you have a mutual who shares the same bias?

Uh I know @visualgiggles biases Hyunjin 🤔 I don’t really know which mutuals bias whom unless they’re posted in their bio’s or I’ve seen them talk about their bias. So I’m at a loss honestly lmao

BTS Biases: V, Jungkook

Who threatens their title? Who is your bias wrecker?

Yoongi and Jimin! I’ve always had a soft spot for Yoongi, so naturally, he wormed his way as a main wrecker 😅 and Jimin, sweet sweet Jimin!! Who said it was ok to be cute and fluffy one second, and a sinful and smirky little shit the next?!

First impression of them.

Taehyung gave me flower boy vibes at first 😂 but I also thought he came across as super mysterious and suave because literally, the first 2 MVs I saw were DNA and BS&T. And then I thought his nose was super cute, but y'all this doesn’t have shit to do with first impressions. I just wanted to add that in 👀

Anyone else get instant fuqboi vibes from Kookie or is that just me? I mean, maknae’s can be sinful little shits! And then he’s Busan born and them genes kicked in quicker than I could run! But I quickly found him to be a cutie pie who can be savage towards his hyungs and that’s just pretty wholesome!

The sweetest thing they have done.

Tae + kids = the most adorable content ever!!! I absolutely love seeing him interact with children! And his love for ARMY comes in at a close second :’)

Y’all gonna be like tf?? But I think Jungkook teasing his hyungs is super sweet! Because you know that’s one of the many ways he shows his affection and adoration towards them. So while it’s funny and hilarious, it’s also super fucking sweet! To me at least

Something they did that made you laugh.

When BTS were on Ellen for the second time and ended up getting spooked, and the expression on Tae’s face afterward had me cackling!

When Jungkook mimicked Jimin’s dancing in Blood, Sweat, and Tears! I literally crack up every time I watch that! 😂

Favorite performance.

I had this one before just because I love Go Go and this was such a look 🙌🏻 but I was looking at Taehyung fancams a few days ago and came across this one from the Love Yourself Hong Kong concert and 😭 he’s so happy why’s he such a baby for I love him!!!

Euphoria is literally one of my favorite songs, so I couldn’t help but look up fancams after a few months of it being released. This is my favorite performance so far

If you had the opportunity to tell them something what would it be?

I would thank them for introducing me to K-pop. I mean yeah, I was the one that came across the genre, but they were my first taste of K-pop and for that? I’m super thankful because as cheesy as it sounds, it has changed my life! And I enjoy the feel and concepts of K-pop music more than western music.

A concept you would like to see them do (again)

Something like ‘Just One Day’ or ‘Go Go’ would be cool to see again! Although I feel like we got a bit of Go Go with Anpanman? I just enjoy soft and playful/colorful concepts!

Do you have a mutual who shares the same bias?

I’m not sure honestly! I haven’t had many of my moots or followers talk with me, hence I’m clueless as to whom biases whom 😂

Monsta X Bias: Wonho

Who threatens their title? Who is your bias wrecker?

I.M and Shownu ;-; who gave them the rights to make me feel emotions I’m about to throw hands!

First impression of them.

I’ll be honest. At first, I thought Wonho was sooo intimidating! Kinda like Woojin in a way? And I don’t really know why I thought that way because he’s such a dork and a sweetheart and thinking about what it was that made him intimidating just gives me a headache 🙃

The sweetest thing they have done.

Blessing us by playing with children! Like, oh my gosh 😭 can you imagine him as a father!!! I literally melted 😩

Something they did that made you laugh.

It’s honestly super hard to choose considering every time I hear Wonho laugh, it makes me laugh! The man’s a giggly baby boy and I live for his giggles uwu

Favorite performance.

‘Play It Cool’ MCOUNTDOWN Can you believe the duality of this man! And his moves are so fluid I literally love this performance!!!

If you had the opportunity to tell them something what would it be?

That he’s handsome so I could hear him laugh and see his beautiful heart-stopping smile :’) it’s really just the simple things I want in life…

A concept you would like to see them do (again)

Hard to choose, I love all of the concepts so far. I think Shine Forever or Jealousy was my favorite tho 👀 dark haired Wonho kills me ok bye

Do you have a mutual who shares the same bias?

I’m not sure actually! If any of my mutuals or followers bias Wonho, hit me up. I don’t have enough people to gush about him with ;-;

Ask me about my biases! (I’ll still take some questions if anyone wants to send them in 🤗💖)

#Janabear🐻#bias ask game #girl you're always feeding me when I do these ask games 😋💕#thanks for letting me gush about these guys!

Tony Awards Thoughts

So it looks like, at least for now, the CBS website lets you watch it for free (at least in the US). Here are my thoughts using those time stamps (be warned I have a long running commentary)

0:23 Oh is this going to be a parody of her playing the piano on last year’s Tony’s

1:05 How has neither one of them won anything? I mean I get if they said neither one of them one a Tony cause I mean, they both did shows that one time…but anything?

1:18 Is there anything more Broadway than saying the same rehearsed thing at the same time and pretending it was just part of the banter? Oh theater tropes I love you

1:36 That’s always been something that bothered me, people assume that just because something didn’t win the Tony doesn’t mean its not a great show, and the show that wins might not even be the best one that season (you know who you are). I love the Tony’s but its an award show, people don’t stop watching tv shows and movies or listening to artists that didn’t win or weren’t nominated, it makes me sad that so many shows close post Tony’s just because they weren’t the big winner. Anyways…

1:53 THEY CELEBRATED THE LOSERS LIKE ME, these A list celebrities that are totally not losers are soooo relatable ;)

2:40 A few years ago Something Rotten did what I thought was a brilliant advertising campaign listing amazing shows that lost the Tonys like them, so the fact that it was put into song gave me a fond flashback. See? SEE??? Oh it feels so good to be vindicated on tv

3:49 “If you make art at all your a part of the cure” :)

4:10 THEY HAD THE ENSEMBLE MEMBERS BE THE ONES IN THE OPENING NUMBER RATHER THAN THE LEADS THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY. If only my high school self could have seen this she would have felt so much better

6:42 I didn’t see any of the plays this year but I heard the most about Angels in America this season so not surprised. Looks interesting

7:45 Happy Pride Month

8:40 Bake a cake for everyone who wants a cake to be baked would actually be a pretty good diction warmup

14:10 Kinda surprised that they didn’t pick Rather Be Me or Apex Predator considering those are the really marketed songs. “Where We Belong” seems a lot like “Status Quo” from High School Musical. I mean you’ll get that about high school clicks in the lunch room with a blond queen bee but like, even the dance moves felt similar, and the lunch tray dancing, even the giant cat decal. But like, it's not as catchy? I didn’t expect them to win anything tonight but I really don’t think they’ll win anything now? Is that mean? Just cause it feels like it was supposed to be a high energy number and it didn’t have that energy I thought it would. Also come on, just cause you want the girls to be shallow and dumb doesn’t mean the lyrics have to be that cringey. This feels like a less good version of if Legally Blonde and High School Musical had a baby (I absolutely love Legally Blonde that was not intended to be an insult to either show).

15:00 Is it me or did Amy Schumer look like she wanted to say something but Rachel Bloom kept talking. But it didn’t really have any joke setup or serve as a good segway for commentary, what could she have wanted to say?

15:35 Later on I’m going to see if I can find the award speeches that didn’t get televised. most of the world doesn’t get broadway they get regional theater, I wanted to hear what they had to say

15:45 Nick Scandalious feels like a cartoon name you’d see in an Onion article about the Me Too movement. His face even looks like the generic celebrity that had a TMZ scandal five years ago. I thought I read it wrong at first lol

16:40 I was cracking up they know their brand so well. The air quotes on emotional, perfect!

17:10 Mini Sara and Josh are so cute!

17:50 Ok I missed the reference, what is the giant bird lady from?

18:10 oh

20:57 celebrity child picture counter: #3 Amy Schumer. Also guess which year the musical described as “a comedy about class and sexism” is from? Yup it’s My Fair Lady, the audience laughed like I did in that sort of this is funny but also sad kinda way

26:00 This was so overacted and hammy and one day I aspire to that level of loud printed robes. Coincidentally my name is also spelled like Eliza but my voice is not nearly that good. Also does it count as drag if they are clearly men in dresses with some comical makeup or is there another name for it when they aren’t actually trying to look feminine?

26:18 The twitter usernames were too small to see on my screen who were the twitter pictures of?

26:30 See above comment

27:00 What show did Billy Joel work on? Also Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, and Josh Groban maybe my mom will finally enjoy theater

29:12 Oh my gosh that picture of Titus Burgess is amazing as is that suit. And that intro is so Titus its great

30:07 Renee Fleming we’ve got the Opera world here too? It’s so many famous musicians from outside broadway on broadway, think of all the crossovers

32:50: Yes spongebob get Josh Groban to sing more thank you for your service. Ok I’m not a huge fan of spongebob but they have to win for sound design that guy is on overload

33:27 Lol it explains so much why the songs sound disjointed cause they got a billion people to write them. Also lol I was waiting for that joke

33:50 Also what I thought would happen would be a medley that way Spongebob who really is the driving energy of the show and Squidward played by the Broadway darling would both have a song. This wasn’t how I expected them to do it, but I was sort of right so I’ll count it. I’m not really a fan of Spongebob the musical (I’ve listened to it twice once when it first came out and once during Tony Season. I’m not one of the people who hate it off the sheer premise and won’t give it a chance, but I just thought it was meh and not worth having the most nominations.) But Squidward’s song is very me, not in terms of melody cause that is I find most of the melodies to be rather generic but the lyrics are 100% me trying to convince myself. Also all I will be thinking about for the rest of the will be what tap dancing must feel like its gotta feel weird how long do you think he spent practicing it with and without the extra legs. Or it might be nightmare fuel with the sea anemone contributing to it, who knows? Probably both,

38:07 still don’t know whose handles those are

38:28 ^^^

38:40 Ok when I saw the outfits I was expecting a Chorus Line Parody, but this Sia parody fits this every genre but musical theater theme of this Broadway season

39:20 Eight times a week, and all the subsequent puns

40:28 Can I just say I love this return to singing interludes over awkward award show banter?

41:44 I saw the Bands Visit a few month’s back and I still don’t know how to describe it. Normally I would guess it would be the second fiddle of the Tony’s but considering the “purists” it’ll probably win most of the awards

44:16 With all the previous reaction shots you knew it had to be Nathan Lane. I always forget how well spoken he is because of his typical roles but he is really well spoken and sincere rather than trying to wise crack and it was so sweet. It made me smile

47:43 His face saying “blow high” has got to be a gif right?

51:45 The entirety of the Carousel number was me thinking if I had a higher sex drive this would totally make me thirsty. They also used very creative ways to physically embody the shape and workings of a ship but then again I’m admittedly biased. Listen to that number you know their vocal prowess was not why they picked it

52:12 I mean, I know that crew gets less attention than cast and plays less attention than musicals but I would watch the full version stop cutting out the speeches. C’mon I love costumes

53:04 I know your joking but that hurts

53:19 yes #4 famous kid photo Uzo Aduba

55:49 Ari'el Stachel’s speech is made all the more poignant when you realize everyone else in his category were white. Despite this season’s commerciality you actually do have shows and casts with Asian leads and African American leads and Latin American leads and Middle Eastern leads somewhere between the sea of shows like Spongebob and Frozen. Show these shows some love, prove that Hamilton wasn’t the anomaly but the rule

56:55 They brought the Parkland teacher for the theater education award! Fitting 65 students into a high school teacher’s office for hours to protect them is not easy, she saved lives that day

58:17 I thought #5 Matthew Morrison was a girl in his child pic

58:40 They went to Parkland?!

59:35 OMG they’re performing!?!

1:00:10 Seasons of Love is the Perfect song for this, they sound so good too!

1:01:18 Girl has an amazing voice! Dang to get up there in front of all of these famous performers on live TV after the media has already hounded them and putting yourself out there is courageous

1:02:45 I can’t see the handles

1:03:11 Will they be able to top NPH’s Tony magic trick though??? Probably not but let’s see

1:03:31 So cheesy but tbh if I had a Harry Potter wand I’d be even cheesier

1:03:46 Was that line improved or was the tech delay intentional?

1:04:22 C’mon Squidward already pulled the same “trick” you have ensemble block the audience pov while someone enters from the back. Didn’t even come close to topping NPH

1:04:43 Little Patti Lupone I can’t believe she allowed them to include her picture of lil’ Patti

1:05:04 I just wanted to include Patti’s line about a “deep appreciation for outspoken women” cause I actually said “you go girl” out loud

1:05:35 Yeah, fun fact, Tony wasn’t a man but was actually short for Antoinette. They referenced it multiple times before, including earlier tonight, but it was stated most explicitly here

1:06:35 Is that a young or modern Claire Danes, I can’t tell

1:07:39 Also it’s really cool that an older woman won something, I feel like the stage gives more roles for older woman that other acting industries, also if people argue that she was political she served political office. Also how cool is it that apparently people were there from every recognized country?

1:09:27 so that’s how they do Sven, I knew Olaf was supposed to be an Avenue Q style puppet but the way they move Sven is really cool (it’s the technique they used on things like War Horse, I don’t know if it’s considered costuming or puppetry or what the official name is)

1:10:20 Anna looks exactly as I pictured her, and they changed a few minor lyrics for it to fit the stage

1:10:44 There are so many quick changes tonight

1:11:22 Elsa did not look like what I imagined her to be, but the costumes are on point

1:12:00 The chorus versions of these songs have beautiful harmony, but Olaf shouldn’t be there yet right? Isn’t he “born” in Let it Go

1:12:47 Alright I’ve been waiting to see how they’ll do the snow effects!

1:14:00 They got out of building the castle by already having it built at the beginning of the song, which is smart technically but I wanted to see how they do it, unless it’s one of those things that’s a surprise for when you see it live.

1:14:25 Never call it “Daddy’s Day” ever again. Never.

1:14:46 I can’t see the handles

1:14:59 How could you not show Chita Rivera’s lifetime achievement? I’ve been lucky enough to see her in more than one show and she is incredible.

1:15:13 And you also cut out Andrew Lloyd Webber’s?? You made the wrong cuts Broadway

1:15:25 It looks like they’re going to show a tribute I’m excited!!!

1:17:42 Two things: Andrew Lloyd Webber has written a weird collection of musicals, like when you see clips of them back to back you realize just how weird of a collection it is, and Josh Groban needs to be the next Phantom

1:18:08 That exchange was so physically awkward they haven’t even started talking yet and I feel the cringe

1:19:18 Is “I swore I’d never do something like that” shade against the La La Land debacle? In 2018? Or am I reading too much into it

1:19:21 I saw the Band’s Visit but I also saw Once on this Island and I thought that one would win Direction for sure but I guess I was wrong

1:22:36 I read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, it’s a weird read, but I haven’t seen it live so maybe it’s directed brilliantly, who knows? Who else thinks its a weird read?

1:23:56 He’s getting the Tony audience to sing his boyfriend "Happy Birthday" instead of giving a speech and that is both adorably sweet and such a power move. Also a rare occasion of Happy Birthday being sung on key

1:25:10 They’re having DEH perform? You cut out people who actually were awarded tonight for people who already were featured on the Tony’s last year? And that song is a weird choice for a In Memoriam considering that show doesn’t really…respect the deceased. Weird

1:28:17 Give the tech more time in the limelight! You cut out Chita and Webber’s speeches for a weird tribute and you have weird stunts with tech like the magic thing yet cut out all their stage time. I know this is standard Tony procedure but it is something I will comment on every year until it changes

1:29:20 That move for “work hard for the money mom” line was uncomfortable

1:30:30 They really do sound like the original singer

1:31:53 So that’s how the performers follow the conductor. They have a huge teleprompter-like screen in the back of the audience

1:32:52 This cast seems specifically tailored to gather different subsections of internet geeks and I will not tell you which categories I fall into

1:33:18 I never knew “the Jimmy’s” were a thing when I was in high school

1:34:54 THOSE are the great themes of Harry Potter? Really?

1:36:10 Aww look at little Cinderella

1:36:34 How are they going to build that stage for the Tonys? They built a river inside the theater for it before!

1:37:00 Well it makes sense that they’d only include part of the set, you can’t really recreate an entire building. Yes I’m so glad they included Mama Will Provide. That song is like the definition of a Tony performance song. Why did they include the Daniel bit, that was so awkward and broke up the flow

1:40:40 If anyone would be chill with the goat it’s Nathan Lane. Yup, there a live goat at the Tony Awards

1:41:21 Don’t joke about that

1:41:41 Are you going to cut out every technical award

1:42:32 Too relatable

1:43:16 Is this that song from Chorus Line in real life

1:44:10 English Major life

1:46:03 The angel from Angels in America is so Extra TM

1:46:54 That Tony Kushner line was forced

1:47:18 Awkward segway but REMEMBER TO VOTE

1:47:38 That Judy Garland line ties in perfectly with the Happy Birthday to the gay couple

1:48:04 That reaction to the word “money” is me. And also is a gif right?

Am I so much of a Tony nerd that I both knew and was shocked that the accountants weren’t the normal ones from Ernst and Young but instead were from Grant Thorton. Why do I remember what company normally tallies the Tony votes? Why did they change companies? Why do I care so much? But seriously what happened

1:49:00 That phrase just sounded so odd, just the way it was said “my television Daddy-O Tony Shalhoub”

1:53:15 I don’t have the accent and I’m about as white as white can be, but I really want to perform this song somewhere at some point. I have family in this area even though I don’t look like I would but and I just connect to it. The melody is gorgeous and the chorus reminds me of the lullabies of when I was very little.

1:54:15 Every time the young photos come up it puts a small smile on my face

1:54:37 Good on them for putting their money where their mouth is. They actually helped fund arts programs in places where they were cut

1:55:05 I wonder what the rest of the scenic guy’s speech for Spongebob was because this tiny clip seemed so passionate (and just has such an interesting aesthetic). Gosh darn it Tonys stop pretending the only backstage people that count are the directors and producers, you have all these other people who put in so much hard work yet you consistently ignore them. Even orchestrations, choreography and score?? Orchestrations, choreography and score are crucial for musicals to exist as unique entities from plays. You make jokes about people sitting through 5 hour plays but I would gladly sit through a five hour award show if you just included the technical awards.

1:57:10 me trying to open anything ever

1:57:14 Yes! I was so worried they would go with the super old school ones that get constant revivals. I mean, they picked the show that had “1000 pounds of sand, a 100 gallons of water, a goat and 2 chickens into his theater” when you have safer, more conventional bets. Everyone kept sleeping on Once on this Island this Tony season to talk about their feelings about the Spongebob’s and Mean Girl’s of the world but this is such a good show. Maybe this’ll get this show the love it deserves.

1:59:30 what did Robert DeNiro say on the recording the sound cut out. Did the mic cut out did he say something inappropriate, I’ve been avoiding Tony news what happened?

1:59:55 It’s got more than just a big cast, dancing, and a history lesson. You know that applies to, idk like 60% of famous Broadway musicals lol

2:00:06 when someone gives that pregnant of a pause you gotta wonder what the story is there

2:00:27 Truth

2:00:40 “Jersey Boy” that’s such a good one liner, actually, it might sound sarcastic online but that was a funny one liner in context

2:03:00 Is Bruce Springsteen really going to just do spoken word poetry the whole time? Also I don’t know why but this makes me think of Fun Home

2:06:05 Oh he’s going to sing after all. Though that story is about as Americana Fourth of July as anything I’ve ever heard on the Tony Awards ever and that’s saying something

2:07:39: who are these people?

2:08:00 Didn’t Kristin Chenowitz and Alan Cumming do this exact same shtick when they hosted, what 2 years ago? And there’s was much bigger I mean really go big like that Glinda the Good dress or go home.

2:08:23 Was there really no punch line? Also aww baby Kelli O’Hara is precious

2:09:07 The actor’s name sounds like his character’s name and I enjoy that

2:09:39 Well these actors are very different from each other

2:11:28 I am a sucker for genuine sincerity and that combined with some of the earlier moments like the Parkland moment brought me close to tears

2:12:45 Look at this award shows actual diversity, and not just using one show for diversity and nominating a bunch of actors you have 3 out of 6 female leads be people of color and none of them are a “token” and they all support each other. Hailey Kilgore is so young and such a good actress and I wanted her to win so much but she seemed so excited for the person who did win and they all seem happy at the result you don’t have any of that polite loser face they are all genuinely supportive and this makes me happy. I’m happy, look at those smiles I’m smiling, I love it when they show women supporting each other.

12:14:06 “my stupid little heart with so much joy” is me watching these people tonight.

12:14:27 Still can’t identify these people

12:15:00 Josh Groban’s reaction to Bernadette Peter’s name is me. Honestly Josh Groban is killing the potential gif game tonight

I’m sorry I just can’t take this description of them as “empowering stories” seriously when half of your nominations are Spongebob and Mean Girls

2:16:10 Tonight the Band’s Visit really swept. Honestly some seasons shows don’t win any awards that deserved it and other seasons shows that (while still deserving) probably wouldn’t have won win and it’s all kind of arbitrary, but I’m glad out of this batch it won, it was really the only show out of the four that would have gotten the Tony Award ticket sales boost and it got it.

2:17:35 “Music gives people hope and makes borders disappear”

2:19:08 yes another Josh Groan duet!

2:19:25 I love Miss Peters too

2:20:44 This number made me smile, this whole night made me smile. I was worried I would get frustrated by the night with Spongebob and Frozen and Mean Girls and all the potential for it to be a cynical snark fest or a capitalist money grabber spectacular. There are about 10 billion ways I saw myself not liking this year’s Tony Awards before it started and not only am I relieved that I was wrong about the mood of the night but I am elated. I love me some deadpan humor and some snark but you rarely see one of these nights just wholly be genuine and not tongue and cheek and it was such a breath of fresh air. Even the hokey bits like the stupid magic jokes and banter or weaker songs like that Mean Girls number, because everything was in such a kindhearted atmosphere, didn’t feel as bad as they otherwise would have.

[MMD Story] Iris Berserks in April Fools (Collab)

So before I share the story here, I did an April Fools joke in Pikapika-2000's Discord Server that my Dicsord account, even Youtube, Deviantart, Twitter, and Tumblr, got hacked by Iris. I uploaded the video last week of Iris taking over my channel (and my friends too), and has the courage to tell off others in Discord.

The Discord Story was with a couple of people:

-MovieMaker X

-Pikapika-2000

-Lillie is Cute UWU (Both Professor Alex and I'm Back - Lillie The Scientist)

-Certified Avery (Vincent Edgeworth)

-CayCee

-Sasuke lol

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: I now owned this account!!! For more explanation, watch my new video I just put up, dorks!) [8:11 AM] (Iris: I hacked over Pokefan's account!! Now I gotta talk with you guys!! I even took over Pikapika-2000, MovieMaker X, and CN100eg's YouTube accounts!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Ummmmm, what are you talking about?

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 Who are all of these people?

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: I now have access to this discord! Pokefan is no more! Now I own this account!! Pokefan's so lame! He has bad taste in girls!! Konata Izumi, the red hair girl who painted me, and worst of all, he allowed Ash Ketchum to stay in his place!!)

Sasuke lol — 04/01/2021 Oh no evil Iris is back for revenge

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Evil Iris?

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: I came because I am looking for many of you! You need to watch my show, Best Wishes, not the one N edited!! Trust me, I'm gonna hack my way to Pokemon Journeys before the champ does!!)

Sasuke lol — 04/01/2021 :0

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Ummmmm, i'm not too sure about that. [8:16 AM] Then again, i don't know what you are talking about so.

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 Me neither

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Well, I just took over four channels! Now you guys will watch my content!! I need more views and likes so I can beat the Pokemon Studio's ratings and beat Ash Ketchum and that better me!! Dare I say "The better me" again! I mean, the champ!!)

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 Watch out, it looks like we have a hacker here

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Umm, i don't know wh--at---t----o-----sa--------y---------------

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 I am going to call my friend to take care of the matter [8:19 AM] OH NO

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 --------------"Ugh, come on laptop, function, AHHH--"-----------

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Oh yes!! Now I got you guys here into my trap!! It's April first and I must quickly get to Pokemon Journeys!! I bet you guys will see me there instead of the champ!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 What the heck was that!?

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Evil Iris: And now I'm looking for Steven and Wallace to give A STERN TALK!! They never let me talk to MovieMaker X, but too bad for them! I hacked their channel!! No more Steven and Wallace, or Maxie, or Avery!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Avery? you mean that psychic boy?

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Evil Iris: I would rant the entire thing on Vent Channel, but I don't care enough about your own problems, so I'll do it here!! And yes, that blond boy!! He's kicked out of Pika's channel to which I now own!! He's still in this server though!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Ummm, i don't see him. [8:24 AM] you must be seeing things Iris.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Evil Iris: Well he must be afraid of me then. I know Steven and Wallace come here regularly, so... Also you guys should hate Ash Ketchup and fries and all of Kanto, including the champ!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Ummmm, why all of Kanto tho?

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Because of Ash Ketchum!! He ruined my life, and Misty and Brock act the same as him, so all Kanto people are like him!! I wanna destroy that region that day!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 I don't understand, so you want to destroy kanto, but doing that also meaning destroying Johto because they are next to eachother.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Just Kanto! I don't give a farts about Johto! Also, I don't believe in Kanto Pandering!! They just want to put many Kanto stuff just to insult me and made me believe Ash Ketchum wants to rule over me, and that's his fault for doing it!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 ...that's weird, because i don't remember that.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Well he certainly did!! He even decided to make that Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee game, and shoving ALL UP ON ME!!!! ENOUGH WITH KANTO ASH KETCHUM!!! STOP REMINDING ME HOW SUCCESSFUL YOUR SHOW WAS!!! Anyway, I plan to capture him one day without anyone else knowing)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 You are making no sense Iris!

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris! Yes I am!! He also helped the Pokemon Studio to ban me and I HATE IT!!! The people I beat up, they all deserve it!! I don't see what's wrong with that!! ASH KETCHUP IS THE ONE WHO HELPED LOOKER FIND THAT CHAMP!!! WORST THING OUR OF EVERYTHING!!! I GOTTA BREAK SOMETHING!!!!!)

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 Oh dear... someone has to break this argument up!

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 I'm not surprised they hate you, you are so very mad Iris!

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Breaks the window) [8:38 AM] (Iris: Finally! I'm back!) [8:40 AM] (Evil Iris: Anyway, I hope you guys start watching my new videos and even my show that is not edited by N! And no, all the hate I got is because of Ash Ketchum and Konata Izumi!) [8:40 AM] (Evil Iris: And don't watch the videos where Konata filmed me to make me look bad! She's so good at it!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 I can't.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: You better be! I'm just waiting to meet Steven and Wallace and even Avery here!! Oh, and I heard Maxie is here, but he's not on that often here, but he has a twitter account, and I have Pokefan's account there, so I'll trash talk him there)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 I'm from another world.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: I've been to different worlds, I went to Skinny Zach Films, David Militello, CN100eg, and MovieMaker X! I couldn't hack Skinny Zach's youtube channel or David Militello, but I successfully did to the latter two!! No more Maxie video, and no more Steven and Wallace videos, and best of all, more videos from me on four channels!)

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 And it seems like my tech expert friend cannot do anything about it...

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: That's right! By the way, I remember someone's photo where the girls had fun and I wasn't allowed there!! Darn it, Champ!!)

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 yaaaaaaawn And I'm up, must have missed a lot lol

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 Be careful MovieMaker X

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Yes you did!! Watch my video because I hacked Pokefan's channel and discord server!)

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 This Iris person has ill will against you

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 ------STOP-------HER-----------STOP-----HER------------------------------------------------------- [8:51 AM] .......

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: So where's Steven and Wallace? I gotta give them a talk, after that whole thing with Cilan!!) [8:53 AM] (Iris: Oh, look who's here, Sordward and Shielbert!! You both know where Avery went? Also I took over Pikapika's Youtube channel! I have proof!)

Pikapika-2000 — 04/01/2021 No way you didn't >:( Evil Iris, stop taling over other people's channels >:(

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: I have proof! I just made a video about it!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Proof!? [8:55 AM] What Proof!?

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 How is mine still intact, then XDDDDD

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: My new video I just put on your-works channel) [8:56 AM] (Iris: You got it back?!?!?!? Who restored it?! Better me?! Gosh, why do I even bother saying the better me?!)

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 Perhaps my Hoenn buddies themselves already found out someone hacked the channel and reverted it as fast as they could XDDDDD

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Why is Steven wearing glasses?

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Those dorks!!! I gotta give them a talk right now!!)

Professor Alex Why is Steven wearing glasses?

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that's part of my headcanon design of him, lol

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Why Iris!?

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Both of them got Cilan to join them, a guy who now betrayed me, and now I have Bianca left all thanks to those two!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 ------Bianca never------wanted to---------work with-----------you! [9:00 AM] -----She------Only-----Pretended!------

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Yes she does! She helped me find where those channel's live! Yes, Bianca can be a fool, who did nothing but celebrated with Team Skull and even hanged with Galar idiot like Piers!)

Pikapika-2000 — 04/01/2021 Maybe Avery and Leon reverted mine as well LOL

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 XDDD

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: What?!?! Darn it!!)

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 All of these people are much more competent than this friend of mine [9:02 AM] He never talks, only communicating in coughs despite being healthy as far as I know

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 ---------------------Iris------------Stop Lying!---

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: You mean Red, that Kanto idiot!! He's just like Ash Ketchum! Well at least I have Pokefan's and CN100eg's channels left!)

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 Red? [9:03 AM] Are you speaking to me, Iris?

REPLY:[@Iris (Pokefan531) (Iris: You mean Red, that Kanto idiot!! He's just like Ash Ketchum! Well at least I have Pokefan's and CN100eg's channels left!)]

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 Nope XDDDDDDDD

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 --------------I'll------Return----Soon----Iris!!!-------

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: I can't believe it?!?!?!? I had proof, and showed it in my video!! Darn it Maxie, the brown hair guy, and that robot freak!!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 ----Hey Iris----Can you hear me!?---

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 Iris.

REPLY:[@Iris (Pokefan531) (Iris: I can't believe it?!?!?!? I had proof, and showed it in my video!! Darn it Maxie, the brown hair guy, and that robot freak!!)]

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 (I dunno, maybe Steven and Wallace knew this was going to happen and the moment it happened, they told everybody to revert their channels lol? How would I know, now they're busy sleeping XDDDD)

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 You did not answer my question. And that is not very polite of you... [9:07 AM] As if you were even polite to begin with.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: I hear you, guys! Also, yes, I assumed you mean Red. He does not speak at all, and he's the third worst person I ever met, behind Ash Ketchup and the champ!

REPLY:[@MovieMaker X (I dunno, maybe Steven and Wallace knew this was going to happen and the moment it happened, they told everybody to revert their channels lol? How would I know, now they're busy sleeping XDDDD)]

Pikapika-2000 — 04/01/2021 Pretty sure they're tired after so much work they had to revert it no? xD Could be that :P

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 That could explain it lol

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 --------*Connection Stabilized, connection returned to...Earth*

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 I do not know who this Red you speak of is [9:09 AM] Let alone consider the possiblity that he is my friend

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris:.......WHY?!?! Steven and Wallace ruins everything!!! First they took Cilan away from me, and now they took my progress away?!?!)

Professor Alex — 04/01/2021 Ugh, I finally got it back, tho now I need to fix the profile.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Because everyone knows that dork doesn't speak. He's just ............ That's it. It's so lame!)

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Well well well, look who's back Iris!

REPLY:[Iris (Pokefan531) (Iris:.......WHY?!?! Steven and Wallace ruins everything!!! First they took Cilan away from me, and now they took my progress away?!?!)]

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 Listen, if you're gonna try to storm into their bedroom to try and wake them up so you can beat them up, maybe... maybe don't? .w.

Vincent Edgeworth — 04/01/2021 At least Winston coughs. I guess that counts as saying something...

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Good idea, X! I'll do that after venting here about my stuff!) [9:11 AM] (Iris: Oh...)

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 I SAID MAYBE DON'T, you're really gonna regret it if you wake them up from their nap .w.

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Even after all this time, you still don't realize who i am do ya Iris!

CayCee — 04/01/2021 IRIS MOVIEMAKER WILL DESTROY YOU IF YOU LAY A FINGER ON STEVEN AND WALLACE SO FOR YOUR OWN SAKE DON'T TOUCH THEM XD

REPLY:[@MovieMaker X Listen, if you're gonna try to storm into their bedroom to try and wake them up so you can beat them up, maybe... maybe don't? .w.]

Pikapika-2000 — 04/01/2021 And even then, it's not like they wouldn't notice. Iris stinks xD

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: And let's speak about this whole Iris stinks thing!! Guess what! I like the way I smell, and don't tell me to take a shower!! I'm tired of having everyone to tell me to take a shower!! Don't change my hygiene habits because I don't want to have one!! I'm tired of getting hygiene products every Christmas!!)

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Lillie:Oh yeah, Well we all hate you Iris! [9:17 AM] Lillie:And don't you dare try to get near me!

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 Iris, who's that behind you? (OH NO... Perhaps Steven and Wallace were sleeping OUTSIDE instead... XDDDDD)

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: You guys are supposed to be my fans!! I will get....... HUH?!?!?! Steven! Wallace! Now it's time to give a stern talk to you both!!) [9:18 AM] (Steven and Wallace overheard Iris's yelling)

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Marlie:And i'll join them in this battle, you won't escape this time Iris!

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: No way!! You guys aren't strong enough!!) [9:20 AM] (Iris uses her spin attack!)

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Marlie:*Takes out her katana and Attacks Iris*

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Marlie:Ah, there you guys are, hold her back long enough! [9:26 AM] Marlie:With help from Steven and Wallace of course.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Wallace: Iris has your account, Pokefan, and your youtube channel!) [9:27 AM] (Konata: Looks like someone's naughty! )

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Marlie:And if she doesn't give it back, I'll stab her, and I'm not joking around this time!

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Wallace hands Pokefan Iris's phone and remove the accounts from her phones) [9:28 AM] (Iris: NOOO!!!!!! I just got his accoun......) scratch from Marlie

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Marlie:Do you like that iris!? [9:29 AM] Marlie:Because i can do it again!

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: Let me go!!) (Konata: I believe you no longer have any control of Pokefan's account, Iris) (Iris: Don't scratch me Marlie!!)

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Marlie:Oh yeah? *Scratches Iris again* You can't tell me what to do Iris!

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Iris: ..........Ow....) [9:32 AM] (Bea: And here's a one kick for hacking our friend here, and waking Hoenn Mineral duos up!) [9:32 AM] (Kicks Iris to the sky and she lost contact here)

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Marlie:She just doesn't know when to give up huh.

Iris (Pokefan531) — 04/01/2021 (Bea: Definitely!)

MovieMaker X — 04/01/2021 (Lmao Steven and Wallace still aren't happy, so they walk back to where they were resting in a hammock and go back to sleep lol)

I'm Back - Lillie the Scientist — 04/01/2021 Marlie:have a good rest you two, hopefully iris doesn't wake you two up again/

7 Years - BadBoy! Jeon Jungkook X Reader - Part 17

Just going to leave this here quickly because I'm so close to just falling asleep. My eyes are most probably closed whilst typing this message so sorry for errors.

Thank you for keeping up with this story it's much appreciated!

Btw do you guys like the way the story progresses? I feel like something might be a bit repetitive but I'm not sure what...

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 Part 7 Part 8 Part 9 Part 10.1 Part 10.2 Part 10.3 Part 11 Part 12 Part 13 Part 14 Part 15 Part 16 Part 17 - Here Part 18 Part 19 Part 20 - Final

The day after your confrontation with Na Young, you attended school as usual. However, this particular day you had no lessons as your whole year would be having career and future workshops for the whole day.

You found yourself sitting behind Jungkook as you were waiting for the briefing to end. When it did so, he quickly spun around in his seat whilst some of your class left the room to meet up with their friends.

"We've never really spoken about it but are you planning on going to university?" Jungkook leaned back in his seat at your question and let a half smile take over his lips.

"I'm not sure, I guess it just depends how well music goes for me. What about you? You'd better go University. I want you to be the best you can be. And even if that does sound cheesy it doesn't change the fact that it's true." You had heard this many times from your family but when Jungkook had said it you couldn't stop your face from growing warm.

You didn't attempt to cover your face from his now growing smirk and knowing eyes. You just allowed a small grin to spread on your face and held his gaze despite how hard it was to do so.

"Don't worry, I plan to go to university. I'll become the best I can be, for you, my family and myself." He suddenly grabbed your hand and leaned into your face.

"Great and then we can get married." Well, you were certainly not expecting those to be his next words. Your grin dropped from your face and your hand began to push his now invasive head away, the red that overtook your face growing a darker shade.

"What's wrong, you don't want to?" The dejected look that he held was enough to make you stop your actions. Your eyebrows shot up and you wrapped your arms around him bringing him into a tight hug.

"No, that's not it! I didn't mean to upset you!" All was silent and you thought you had successfully cheered him up. That is until you felt his body shaking against yours. At first you had thought he had started crying but the muffled laughter made your eyes narrow and you pushed him back by his forearms. Jungkook burst into full blown laughter and you mustered up the last bit of dignity you had to glare at him.

"I can't believe you made me feel bad like that! Oh my gosh, I'm going to pull your front teeth out if you don't stop laughing. " His laughter only grew louder and you huffed, turning away and pulling your phone out of your school bag.

'Hey Areum, are you in your class right now?'

You received a reply in a matter of seconds.

'Yep. Come over, I need to talk to you.'

Standing from your seat, you glared down at Jungkook's trembling figure once again before you turned and walked straight out of the classroom.

Heading straight for Areums classroom, the distant shouts of your name from Jungkook made you speed up in order to avoid him catching you. You made it to your destination before Jungkook had found you and you sat down on the desk beside Areum.

"Hey, Areum. How are you on this fine morning?" She giggled at the overly exaggerated joyful tone you were using and you glanced around the room.

"Is Na-"

"Oh, that's what I wanted to talk to you about. Did you see her after what happened at the hospital?" When Areum referred to your encounter with her, your eyebrows unconsciously furrowed and you shrugged your shoulders.

"She just up and left. Why?" Areum bit her lip in contemplation and sighed a couple of seconds later.

"Nothing, she's just not in. I found it weird since she was super excited for today and she wouldn't stop talking about what they had planned. I guess she's just sick..."

You hoped she was sick. Sure, she had been a bitch and ultimately gotten Taehyung seriously hurt but you definitely didn't want her to get into any trouble. You weren't that cruel.

"Do you think... she might not be in because of those guys?" By 'those guys' you had obviously meant the rival schools gang and a worried expression decorated Areums face.

"Let's not jump into any conclusions. She's most probably sick." Slowly nodding, your name was suddenly called from the doorway. Hye Mi stood at the entrance of the classroom, a small smile on her face.

"Why is Hye Mi smiling at you?" Before you could answer Areums question, Hye Mi started towards the both of you, carefully tending to a bag at her side.

"Hey Areum. Hey Y/N. I just wanted to say sorry for how I've acted these past years. To both of you. I totally understand if you don't want to accept my apology but I needed to get it out there." She lifted the hand that clung onto the bag and held it out to the both of you. Areum eyed the bag cautiously whilst you took it out of her hand gently.

"It's not much... My parents run a bakery so I brought you cakes and pastries as a gift. I... genuinely hope you enjoy them and don't worry, I haven't spat on them or anything." You allowed a toothy grin to grow on your lips and Areum let a soft smile take over her face which in turn caused Hye Mi to sigh in relief.

"I thought you guys would throw it back at me or something. If our roles were switched, I would without a second thought." Areum was peeking into the bag when Hye Mi spoke and lifted her head at her last sentence.

"No offence, Hye Mi but I'd expect nothing less from you." Hye Mi nervously chuckled at Areums remark and you silently watched the exchange.

"I hope from now on we can be friends or at the very least acquaintances." Just after Areum had agreed, Hye Mi was suddenly pushed into her desk by another student. The girl who had just collided with her scoffed at Hye Mi's hunched form and placed her hands on her hips.

"Watch where you're going, dumbass." Hye Mi seemed to snap at that moment and whipped around in a blink of an eye. She began raising her voice which eventually caused an argument to ensue.

"Who the heck are you anyway!? Don't tell me to watch where I'm going when I'm just standing in one place." Giggling beside you caught your attention and you watched as Areum tried her hardest to stifle her laughter.

"Well, at least she's nicer." You couldn't help but agree.

Hye Mi was slightly nicer and deep down, you were glad. You couldn't deny that you kind of missed being friends with her. It would take time but maybe soon you would be able to call her a friend once again.

"I knew you'd be here!" Jungkook's voice came from the doorway of the slightly empty classroom and you groaned to yourself.

Let the teasing continue.

Towards the end of the day, you had had almost enough of Jungkook's rambling of the future. He continuously mentioned the topic of marriage even going as far as jokingly going down on one knee. He didn't have a chance to get a word out since you abruptly slapped him upside the head.

You were currently sitting in your last workshop beside a sleeping Jungkook, who had grew tired of teasing you after your attack on him. You were awaiting the end of the day since you had promised Taehyung you would take him home along with the boys.

A crumpled paper fell upon your desk causing you to glance in the direction it had come from. You made brief eye contact with another student, Beom Soo. You didn't really know much about him except that he seemed to be sought out by many girls in the school the reason being that he was apparently 'mysterious'.

Probably the most predictable reason ever.

Peeling open the note, you were met with a message that made your eyebrows shoot right up.

'I can give you the attention you deserve. Just send me your number Y/N.

Beom Soo'

Well that's a first. You had thought Jungkook was intimidating enough for people to not even think about staring at you for too long but Beom Soo was on a whole other planet. You mentally gave him points for his confidence.

His number was neatly written underneath his message. You chanced another look at him to find him staring back at you with an almost straight face, the only change in expression being the slight tug at the corner of his mouth. A couple of seconds later, he returned his attention to the front of the classroom.

Before you could think of a suitable way to reply, the note was suddenly plucked out of your hand. Around five seconds later, Jungkook shot a dark look in the direction of an unaware Beom Soo and grabbed a pen from your pencil case, scrawling down what seemed to be a number at first glance.

It was only when he began scrunching the note back up again that you had made sense of his rushed handwriting.

'It's double 0 fuck right off before I snap your neck.

Jeon fucking Jungkook.'

Throwing the note back at Beom Soo, it landed directly in front of him and Jungkook rested his head on his desk, closing his eyes again. Beom Soo smirked at you before reopening the note and reading it. Moments later, he slowly crumpled it up again and eyed the figure beside you. When you turned to Jungkook, you were pleasantly surprised to see the deathly stare he was giving Beom Soo, who had now focused his attention back to the talk that was currently being given.

Needless to say Beom Soo wouldn't even breathe around you for the rest of the school week.

"Fucking loser..." You weren't going to act like you were annoyed at his actions because first of all, it was Jungkook and it was expected considering the reputation he had and second of all, you liked that he was somewhat jealous and protective of you. It was more preferable than having a boyfriend who could care less who flirted with you.

Moments later, the teacher concluded his talk and made brief announcements before he dismissed your class for the day. You stood from your seat and grabbed your school bag, nudging Jungkook. He slowly pried himself off the desk and stretched his limbs before he just about collapsed on you, resting his head on your right shoulder. Sighing, you twisted him around and pushed him towards the door, guiding him out of the school.

The walk to the hospital was looking longer than you had previously thought it would be.

By the time you did arrive at the hospital, everyone had already gathered and had begun discussing what would happen with Taehyung.

"Well he's definitely not going to school for at least the next two weeks." Namjoon had a tone of finality that left no room for Taehyung to even think about arguing and Seokjin nodded his head in agreement.

"Sorry Tae but I agree with Namjoon on this one. We can't risk you getting any more injuries." Taehyung huffed and gathered his belongings from the bedside table beside him.

"How would I get more injuries? I don't understand." Yoongi scoffed from his seat on the armchair and took a sip of water, watching Taehyung with an eyebrow raised.

"Did you seriously just ask that? You know what, reflect on your life and then answer that yourself." Taehyung pouted at Yoongi's response and you chuckled at their exchange. You could definitely see where the boys were coming from. Just last month Taehyung had almost crashed through the glass door of Namjoon's apartment complex.

Honestly, he was a hazard to himself.

"Just because of that, I'm not sharing my snacks with you." Taehyung stuck his tongue out at Yoongi whose reaction was a dirty look.

"I didn't want them anyway, you've probably salivated over all of them. It would be dangerous to even think about eating them at this point." Yoongi had no remorse at all, not that you were complaining. In your opinion he had one of the best senses of humour and you welcomed it with open arms.

Hoseok made a disgusted face and side eyed the bag of snacks Taehyung had mentioned beforehand.

"Really? I was looking forward to some of them..." Hoseok's comment made Taehyung grin and he held out the bag towards him.

"Forget Yoongi! He's just jealous. Don't worry I'll share." Jungkook stepped forward and peeked into the bag alongside Hoseok.

"Tae, I'm pretty sure these are all finished." Taehyung frowned and glanced down into his bag, sticking his hand in and rummaging around.

"No way... I thought I left some?"

Leaving the chattering group, you stepped towards the window overlooking part of the city. The explanation Taehyung was currently trying to make over the missing snacks made some of the tension in your body leave. He seemed to be healing well and his joyful demeanour had not faltered in the slightest.

Things were beginning to take a turn for the better and you hoped it stayed that way.

Hero

Chapter 16/??

Relationship: Todoroki Shouto x Reader (Your/Name), (Full/Name)

Summit: It all begin at the Sports Festival when Shouto’s other half met Endevour by mistake. The student never thought to see his partner fight against his father just to show him that he is wrong. It started from that instant, Shouto’s new path started exactly from that moment thanks to his friends and his beloved one.

---

Around 9:00 am, (Y/N) rings the bell of the Todoroki’s mansion. Fuyumi invites her inside to drink a tea since the girl brought a homemade cake.

<<How cute!>> Fuyumi takes out the cake from its case, <<How did you this with those hands?>>

<<The medicines I’m taking are to reduce the pain when I move my hands.>> you explain holding the cup of hot tea, <<The others are to reinforce my immune defenses.>>

<<Oh gosh, it must be hard.>> she cut slices the lovely cake and put a slice on a plate, <<Please enjoy it.>>

<<Thank you very much.>>

When the girls are talking about funny things, Endevour comes back at home and finds the woman who dueled him a few days ago. Fuyumi takes quickly your defense but the man wants you and only you. Moving gently aside Todoroki’s sister, you reassure her with a big smile and follow the hero on the big yard they had in the back of the mansion.

<<I’m here.>> speaks the man, and without wasting another minute, he attacks you but what he hit was only an icy statue, <<So, what are you gonna do?>> he turns seeing you sit with your legs crossed.

<<I’m not here to pick up a fight but to talk.>> she says standing up, <<When I’m done, if you want to fight me anyway, then I won’t decline.>>

<<Go ahead, I’m listening.>>

<<First of all, I apologize for what I’ve done at the festival. I’ve said bad things about you and the fact that I wasn’t thinking doesn’t justify me.>> she speaks with a tranquil voice but her eyes are serious as never be, <>

<<Mph, if that’s all->>

<<I’m not done. I recognize you as hero, but that doesn’t mean that I forgive you for what you have done to your son. Soon, we’ll start an internship with some pro heroes. I am not a pro hero yet, so I cannot guide Shouto in this step of his life, I’m not wise enough, but you are. You’re a hero too, the lives that you save are a certain thing.>>

<<So, what are you trying to say, woman?>>

<> she rests her hands on the waist, <<But, if you show me that you can do something that a parent would do, then I’ll let you go near him.>>

<<Are you saying that I must guide in his path? I’m doing it already.>>

<<You got the concept but not the method.>> you scold him trying to stay as calm as possible, <<You must guide him on HIS path not yours. Shouto isn’t a doll that you control as you want. Am I not clear enough? I will say it once more, I’ll let you go near him but if I see something that I don’t like, I’ll make you step back again.>>

<<…….>> the hero is thinking at your words, but many questions are flowing inside his mind.

---

After a while, Todoroki comes back from his morning running routine and finds his sister scared and worried. She is crying, speaking so fast that he doesn’t understand a single word. What’s happening in here?

<<Calm down, nee-san.>> he holds her still, <<Tell me what happened.>>

<<Dad and (Y/N) are in the garden and they are about to fight!>>

<<What?!>> Todoroki gets out the main door and runs around the mansion to reach the garden faster. “Not under my fucking watch old man! Don’t you dare to lay a finger on my light!”

When he and his sister reach the destination, they find the father and the student facing each other with a serious expression.

<<Who are you woman?>> Endevour speaks with a rude voice, but the brothers see that he’s paying attention to you, like properly? What?!

<>

“Partner? No, that not the right word my love.” Shouto wants to stop both, but he wants to see what happen, “Wait, her grandmother said that I am the one who holds the stars, but I didn’t pay attention to her words. She said “soulmate”…”

<<Partner? I’ll choose someone for him.>> now he is angry, <<You’re not worth it!>>

Todoroki growls at him, but (Y/N) speaks up and decides to have a turn at challenging him, <>

Shouto is shocked and so is the sister who heard the request.

Endevour scratches his head, confused, <<You want to challenge me? And how you should win?>>

<<Don’t be a baby.>> you prompt and tease him, and Shouto moves forward to protect you but you raise a hand to let him know that everything is under your control, <<What I do know is that Shouto makes the same mistake when he fights, that I assume you didn’t correct, so you know how to psych him out to land your blow. Try doing it on me, I dare you.>>

<<Alright kid, let’s see what you got.>>when he slides a foot forwards to get ready, he finds her foot blocking his, “What?!”

<<Too slow.>> you move backwards to give him space, <<Don’t disappoint me, ETERNAL number two hero, Endevour-san.>>

“How did she move so fast? She hasn’t an ice quirk?” the hero takes some distance, “Ok, let’s be more serious.” he charges and chooses a straight punch, but the student makes a turn smiling and hits him on the chin with a strong kick.

Shouto and Fuyumi don’t believe what they’re seeing. The student is standing still on the tip of one foot, the other leg is stretched beyond her own high in a split pose, while her arms are crossed in front the chest; one is fully extended forward while the other points at the sky while closing the other arm like a hook. Endevour is on his knee trying to stand up.

“She hit me on the chin to break my balance functions….” he thinks finally able to stand on his own feet, “If she hit me stronger, I wouldn’t be able to move for a while.” <<Fine, 2-0 for you woman.>>

<<My name is (Y/N).>> she dodges a kick but a lariat is coming to hit. With a jump and using her hand like a trampoline, she moves behind Endevour without hit him, <<Intelligence wins over strength. No matter how strong you are, until I can read your moves, you can’t win against me, Todoroki-san.>> assembling her body in a sophisticate pose, she shows shamelessly her big smirk, <<Come at me.>>

<<I’m not stupid, you win this too.>> the man starts to increase his flames and you are ready to welcome what he is thinking.

“He always complains about how Shouto is too readable, have you looked at yourself?” (Y/N) takes her stance and waits for the hero to be the first one to attack.

He comes in with a straight fired up punch thinking that she wouldn’t block it with such powerful flames all around, but you step to the side, allowing your left arm to perform an inside block and using your free right hand to counter his attack with a right fist to his side followed by your left hand, and lastly a swift kick to his knee that make him fall down loudly to the ground.

<<W-wow….>> whispers Fuyumi shocked to see the father laid on the ground, <<S-Shouto, make sure to marry this woman…>>

“I knew she was strong, but not as much as this!” he is immobile, staring at his own father, “What’s this feeling? Seeing my old man defeated by a girl, by my girl…!” the young man walks next to you and puts proudly an arm around your waist, keeping you close to him.

<> you asked with a playful face, <<I’m glad I didn’t use my quirk.>>

<<Fine, I will think about it.>> Endevour stands up again and crosses his arms frustrated, <<You win this time, woman.>>

<> Shouto speaks this time, <<She’s my soulmate.>>

<<Mph, whatever. Do what you want with this woman son.>> he leaves right away and Fuyumi jumps on your back.

<<Oh god (Y/N)!>> she is a mess of crying, smiling and screaming, someone help her, <<You are too heroic! Please, marry my brother!>>

<<M-m-marry?!>> she blushes in a second, she starts even to mirror Midoriya when he is embarrassed, <<F-Fuyumi-san, I think i-it’s too early for that! I just did what I wanted to….>>

<<You wanted to smash down my dad?>>

<>

<> the half-half boy grabs you from behind and kisses you passionately, <<Will you stand by my side from now on too, my hero?>>

<<HA-HA-HA!>> she picks the lover up, <<Have no fear, why? Because I’m here!>> even Shouto laughs at your accurate imitation of the legend, but when Fuyumi jumps on too, the smiles is replaced by a worried face, <<Miss, I can’t carry both of- Woah!!>> unbalanced from the sudden add of weight, you fall down dragging along the Todoroki brothers.

A few seconds of silence and everyone starts to laugh. When someone laughed inside that house, was really a long time ago, but then you came. You came like an angel and lit their lives with your light, bringing back something that was already lost: the happiness to be together and the warmth of love and the light of the future.

Rip Camillucci 0:03 Welcome to arcade audio.

Natalie Younger 0:28 Welcome to shared history

Cass Maher 0:31 where the points are made up and the history doesn't matter. Or so you thought,

Natalie Younger 0:37 yes, this is a shared history, the podcast where we are going to talk and just tell each other's story, a little story about history that maybe wasn't in your history books

Cass Maher 0:48 that probably should have been brought.

Natalie Younger 0:50 Yeah, probably should have been. I'm Natalie Younger.

Cass Maher 0:54 I'm Cass Maher.

Natalie Younger 0:55 And on the ones and twos

Cass Maher 1:01 is our producer, Rip.

Rip Camillucci 1:03 I got my full DJ set up here. It's about to get lit, y'all

Cass Maher 1:06 just wait till the beat drops halfway through the podcast, and we're not gonna tell you

Natalie Younger 1:10 it's gonna get turnt.

Cass Maher 1:12 It's a drinking game. Whenever the beat drops, y'all have to take a drink.

Natalie Younger 1:14 Yeah

Cass Maher 1:15 Please don't do that.

Natalie Younger 1:15 and then you have to call your high school history teacher and apologize.

Rip Camillucci 1:20 All on your way to work.

Natalie Younger 1:23 This is our first episode. So enjoy our wackadoos

Cass Maher 1:27 We're shaking our sillies out.

Natalie Younger 1:29 Cass and I started this podcast because we both are big old history nerds. And

Cass Maher 1:34 Natalie was going to write a book.

Natalie Younger 1:36 And then that was a lot of work.

Cass Maher 1:37 And I was like, 'No, you're not.'

Natalie Younger 1:40 It'd be a lot easier. And I'd be a lot less beholden to proper citation if I justtalked into a microphone with a friend of mine.

Cass Maher 1:50 Also, I'm picturing if the book was basically just like you're writing it out the way we're talking. Yeah. Be so incoherent.

Natalie Younger 1:57 Mm hmm. Yeah. And so I knew that Cass is a big old nerd. And we also have just been needing to hang out.

Cass Maher 2:05 Yeah, Natalie,what's our shared history?

Natalie Younger 2:08 Oh, I'm glad you asked. Cass, Rip and I are all improvisers and comedians in the currently sunny city of Chicago,

Cass Maher 2:19 the one sunny day we'll get all year

Natalie Younger 2:20 Yeah, and we're going to be inside talking into microphones during it. And yeah, we met, we met at a improv show where we played really obnoxious Minnesotan and church ladies,

Cass Maher 2:32 all of our names were Carol,

Natalie Younger 2:33 Yeah and it was magical immediately. And we were like, We need a Hangout. But we both over commit ourselves. So the only way that we could trick ourselves into actually hanging out was by making it a project.

Cass Maher 2:46 Natalie, I'm busy, I can't let's write a sketch show together, that'll be good. What if we do a podcast?

Natalie Younger 2:52 Great.

Cass Maher 2:54 So almost a year and a half after,

Natalie Younger 2:56 after we said we should hang out, we finally are hanging out at the not a show. And it's still work related. So the way that this shenanigans will work is we have both chosen a person or an event, I believe we both did people from history, and we're just gonna, you know, tell each other about it. I know for me personally, I was really excited about focusing on women and people of color in history, because I feel like especially in-- Well, no, in all history--I was gonna say, especially in US history, they're not given the page count that they should be.

Cass Maher 3:36 Yeah. And a lot of their accomplishments are passed off to your other people.

Natalie Younger 3:42 But for this episode, we gave ourselves a theme and our theme was women and US history. I had to remember. And yes, I did it correctly.

Cass Maher 3:53 Yeah.

Natalie Younger 3:57 So yeah, so we're just going to tell you a story. That's this is a story time with your friends Cass and Nat and Rip.

Cass Maher 4:05 the reason why Natalie is not doing a book, and we're doing it this way, is again, as previously stated, we're both nerds. So we like are doing the research. But also we are not professional historians.

Natalie Younger 4:18 Oh, yeah, hashtag disclaimer.

Cass Maher 4:20 So some of this may be embellished or maybe not 100%. Correct. But you're going to get the basic gist. And we're mainly just going to talk about what we

Natalie Younger 4:32 Yeah, this podcast brought to you by the internet and our

Cass Maher 4:36 subjectivity

Natalie Younger 4:37 and yeah, and our memories a little bit. Yeah. Mostly the internet and subjectivity.

Cass Maher 4:45 Kidsdon't cite this in a paper.

Natalie Younger 4:47 Yeah.

Cass Maher 4:49 Cool. Well, I'll kick us off.

Natalie Younger 4:50 Yeah, do it.

Cass Maher 4:52 So I chose someone who I had briefly heard about and only pretty recently, feel like you may have heard of this person, since you are kind of a history buff. Sybil Ludington.

Natalie Younger 5:07 I don't believe I'm familiar.

Cass Maher 5:10 Oh, my gosh. Sybil Ludington is a badass bitch. So Sybil Ludington was a young girl during the American Revolution

Natalie Younger 5:22 Oh was she a Daughter of the American Revolution

Cass Maher 5:24 One might say she was. And Sybil's claim to no fame was she had

Natalie Younger 5:32 That's so sad. I'm sorry.

Cass Maher 5:34 Getting real. She had a Midnight Ride akin to Paul Revere.

Natalie Younger 5:40 Okay

Cass Maher 5:42 but unlike Paul Revere, Well, I'll tell you Sybil Ludington's story and then tell you how Paul Revere didn't quite stack up. Paul Revere is a great man. But Sybil Ludington, kind of

Natalie Younger 5:55 Good hat. Great hat on that man.

Cass Maher 5:57 Yep. Love the lantern. So Sybil Ludington was 16 years old when she did her ride. And she traveled twice a distance of Paul Revere at in more in a longer time span because Paul Revere

Natalie Younger 6:13 I thought you were gonna say in like, half the time. Because when women do it, we get it done more efficiently.

Cass Maher 6:18 Well, it was kind of -- I'll explain it. So, she rode 40 miles, which is about 65 kilometers, which means nothing to anyone but

Natalie Younger 6:27 I'm so glad that you transferred it to kilometers. We are in the United States.

Cass Maher 6:31 I every time I every article that I researched, it was like 40 miles about 65 kilometers and I was like no one needs that.

Natalie Younger 6:38 This is for our fans abroad.

Cass Maher 6:40 Oh, yes. You're welcome.

Natalie Younger 6:42 Our budding audience abroad.

Cass Maher 6:45 So yeah, so she was born in 1767. And by the time the revolution hit, her father was a leader of their local militia. And they got word that there a nearby city of Danbury, Connecticut. They lived on the border of New York and Connecticut and they got word that Danbury was going to be attacked by the British and her dad being a militia man was got this Intel and was like we need to gather the militia. They were all home on their farms. And Sybil was like I can do it. So he's like dope.

Natalie Younger 7:31 I think you said this, and I miss it. Where is Sybil? Is she in Danbury?

Cass Maher 7:35 She's in in your New York. So it was called. It was called Fredericksville, the city she was in, which is like, like an hour north of New York City...by car which they didn't have, but they renamed the town Ludingtonville because of her.

Natalie Younger 7:56 That's a mouthful, though. They could have just named the town Ludington.

Cass Maher 7:59 Yeah,

Natalie Younger 8:00 like that's already a town name.

Cass Maher 8:01 Yeah. Like right there

Natalie Younger 8:03 Literally Luddingtown

Cass Maher 8:05 Full stop

Natalie Younger 8:05 What if they named it Ludingtonton and

Cass Maher 8:06 Ludington town

Natalie Younger 8:08 Ludingtontown

Cass Maher 8:09 Yep,

Natalie Younger 8:09 That's in the UK. That's 100% in the UK.

Cass Maher 8:11 New Ludington town. Yes anyway so so he got this Intel all the militia was spread out on their farms. And it was they got this at like 9pm so it's dark out and keep in mind they're in New England and so this is not like we're sitting in the the great all God's country Midwest, very flat very easy to see and know where you're going there like fully wooded and it's been raining. It's dark out and it's all muddy. And it's it's this is a hard ride to make. So she jumps on her horse, Star. I felt that was important to know the horse's name

Natalie Younger 8:53 Yeah that horse is a goddamn hero

Cass Maher 8:55 right? And they said she she had a stick, like a pointy stick. That's all she had to like prod her horse and stuff. And she rode she hit four towns. Now keep in mind, Paul Revere got to Lexington stopped and had a drink with Sam Adams

Natalie Younger 9:16 Like you do.

Cass Maher 9:16 waited for his friend. What is it, Samuel Dawes?

Natalie Younger 9:21 Yeah, Paul Revere is using the buddy system.

Cass Maher 9:23 William Dawes. Yeah, he was just like, chilling until William Dawes showed up. And William had the same message. He's like, you guys, guess what the British are? Oh, hey, Paul. What's up? You tell him about the British coming. That's what I was saying. So they hung out how to drink and then we're like, Let's go together. Paul Revere never made it to the town that he was supposed to.

Natalie Younger 9:42 Where was he supposed to go?

Cass Maher 9:43 He was supposed to go to

Natalie Younger 9:45 I don't know any of this. I'm trash with US history.

Cass Maher 9:48 Yeah, but but I don't know what the final town but he got intercepted by the British. Okay. And he was with his friend William Dawes and Samuel Prescott. And they escaped. Paul Revere didn't they confiscated his horse. So he technically didn't finish the ride

Natalie Younger 10:03 what was his horses name?

Cass Maher 10:04 They don't know because he didn't own a horse at the time he had to borrow someone else's like a hack

Natalie Younger 10:09 Just bummin' a horse.

Cass Maher 10:11 I want you all to know I think Paul Revere is amazing. But in relation to this story, it just doesn't.

Natalie Younger 10:15 He doesn't need it. You don't give him the praise. Everyone's like great. He gets it.

Cass Maher 10:19 So he didn't finish his ride. He took time to like hang out with Sam Adams. And then he had to walk back to Lexington where they said he caught the end of the battle. Like it's kind of it's kind of a downer. Great. So anyway, at the end, he was 41 at the time. So Sibel was a 16 year old girl, she made a 40 mile ride in pouring rain, treacherous mud woods that are really easy to get lost in. And she actually got intercepted by a British officer who tried to pull her from her horse. She fought him off with her pointy stick- with her stick. And the reason she had this deck was to you know, proper horse, which friends be kind to animals. But also she didn't get off a horse the whole time. She didn't have time to like, jump off the horse and like knock on the door. Hey guys, sorry.

Natalie Younger 11:09 She was she like rapping on the doors

Cass Maher 11:11 She was rapping on the door while she's on her horse going from house to house like dope British are here, y'all know I gotta hit three more towns. Um, and she has she

Natalie Younger 11:22 activate your phone tree.

Cass Maher 11:25 So yeah, so she gathered 500 militia between the times of 9pm and Dawn which I don't know what that is five 6am it was still dark.

Natalie Younger 11:33 It depends on the time of year

Cass Maher 11:34 It depends on the time of year, Did they have daylight savings time yet? Did Ben Franklin screw us all over by then? Yeah, and I'm looking at my notes. Yeah, so she fought off several British officers. I think a highwayman stopped her too and got 500 militia. The by the time the militia was gathered and made it to Danbury they, they weren't able to save the town. But by that time, most of the people knew so most of the people had gotten out of Danbury

Natalie Younger 12:11 So it was kind of like a ghost town that the British were invading.

Cass Maher 12:13 Yeah, they I think I mean, some people still died and they burned down a few buildings. The reason the British were going there was to intercept like ammunitions and supplies and stuff. So I think they were able to get like, most of that stuff out clear the town a little bit. And when the militia got there, they were still able to force the British to retreat.

Natalie Younger 12:38 Oh, cool.

Cass Maher 12:38 Yeah. into close to the New Jersey sound. Which you guys all know where that is. Yeah.

Natalie Younger 12:45 Sounds like it's in New Jersey.

Cass Maher 12:48 Nailed it. They were they were able to force them to retreat, which then is like known as the battle at Ridgefield, so I don't know that at all. But that was mentioned basically,

Natalie Younger 13:01 I mean, if Sybil wasn't there. We don't care about it anymore for the purpose of this podcast

Cass Maher 13:04 Basically, they did their jobs. Sybil was a bad ass. She was 16 years old. She had 11 brothers and sisters.

Natalie Younger 13:13 That's too many.

Cass Maher 13:14 So there's this really cool story of her dad was in there. This was before the ride. Her dad was like in their home and a bunch of British loyalists. 51 British loyalists were approaching the house to like, capture her dad. And it was just like him, I think they had one guard or patrolman. So Sybil like planted candles all around their house, and she lined up her brothers and sisters and had them march in like a military formation. So all the British loyalists saw was all these candles, and then like faint outlines of like marching a small army of 12 children, and they and they didn't so and then they they went away. They're like, Oh, there's too many people. We can't fight them. We've got 51 they've got a full troop. And that was Sybil.

Natalie Younger 14:08 So theatrical Sybil, the drama!

Cass Maher 14:11 Right. Like that's like, have you ever seen the Patriot where they like make all the scarecrows? Screw Mel Gibson. But she did that but real life and better.

Natalie Younger 14:22 It's like, but but for real and better. And without anti semitism.

Cass Maher 14:29 Woof. We'll get into that in a different podcast. Yeah. Also, her mom and dad are first cousins, which doesn't really matter. But I thought that was funny and weird. Yeah.

Natalie Younger 14:39 That's a product of the times

Cass Maher 14:40 a product of the times. So so she was she made, God, a 40 mile ride at 16. overnight in the rain. That's hard. And fighting off a British person. Just let me tell you, I've done that before, it is hard. And yeah, she was. She was thanked personally by George Washington, which was a big deal. Y'all know how obsessed with George Washington everyone was.

Natalie Younger 15:10 He was the first celebrity

Cass Maher 15:11 he was the first celebrity

Natalie Younger 15:12 American celebrity

Cass Maher 15:14 before they before we came up with our presidential system and everything like George was they wanted to make him their king. Yeah, he was deified like know, if you got to see him. It was like touching Beyonce. So the fact that he personally thanked this 16 year old girl was a huge deal. And, and, and then she just went off to live a quiet life. She got married, she had a bunch of babies. And and she died at age 77. And no one knew about any of this. No one talks about it.

Natalie Younger 15:51 That's a long life for that time.

Cass Maher 15:52 Yeah, right. Um her great grandson, or her grandson or something, was the first one to write it down. And this didn't get published until like 1880 or 1900. So I don't do math that that's almost what like 100 years.

Natalie Younger 16:08 Because they were at that point. I feel like they were like, oh, oh, but But Paul

Cass Maher 16:13 Yeah. But Paul

Natalie Younger 16:16 we can't admit that we were wrong and that we gave all the credit to a mediocre middle aged white man.

Cass Maher 16:23 and so her grandson wrote all this down. And it was like well known history in the town. Like they renamed the town about her. And then it wasn't until this woman historian and like the 1880s found about this story and published it and some magazine or article. And there's this awesome statue at the halfway point between her ride of her on a horse. And like the horse

Natalie Younger 16:47 Fighting a British man?

Cass Maher 16:48 The horse is kind of reared up and she's got her like, she's got her stick in her hand. And she's like, waving it and it's this awesome statue that no one's going to see because it's in the middle of Connecticut like wilderness. But God what a badass broad

Natalie Younger 17:03 That is dope. You know, I've never heard of her.

Cass Maher 17:06 She's really really cool.

Natalie Younger 17:08 I am admittedly very I am. I am quite literally trash with US history.

Cass Maher 17:13 Same

Natalie Younger 17:13 because our country's young and we study things that don't matter in school.

Cass Maher 17:18 Yeah. And then they hit the like,

Natalie Younger 17:20 sorry, Mr. Dolan,

Cass Maher 17:21 they hit these. They hit these like, these random highlights of you know, like Paul Revere has been mythologized.

Natalie Younger 17:30 Yeah.

Cass Maher 17:30 Also during the American Revolution, like, there's no way we should have won that war.

Natalie Younger 17:35 Oh, no,

Cass Maher 17:36 like we had, we had no troops who were all you know, like, like underground - ya know if the British like suspected you they would take out and so I feel like a lot of what helped us win was this like mythologizing and like, you know, the American Revolution was basically just like a inspirational basketball movie where there's that the coach gets, no seriously, it's like it's a buncha it's a bunch of ragtag group that shouldn't win and shouldn't make it to the state finals and then Denzel Washington comes out and he gives a "You Are Titans" gives an inspirational speech and it's - somehow it works

Natalie Younger 18:19 And then we all flap our wings. We all end

Cass Maher 18:21 Americans are all heart

Natalie Younger 18:23 And we quack

Cass Maher 18:23 And not a lot of planning. I feel so so yeah.

Natalie Younger 18:27 Yep, that tracks

Dude that's cool. Ludington, Sybil Ludington

Cass Maher 18:34 only one D which through me - that's not important, but

Natalie Younger 18:40 It's just just the one D

Cass Maher 18:41 is just the one D because the the town name was so long, they had to cut a D just to make it shorter

Natalie Younger 18:46 Jesus. Well, I'm going to go into mine now. Just because we're talking about Sybil Ludington, and what a what a proper name, segue to the most badass name, even though it's not for the correct reasons ever. I am here to tell you the story of Wilma Mankiller.

Cass Maher 19:10 Fuck off. Is that a real name? Or did she change it?

Natalie Younger 19:15 That is her real name. It is a however, it is in reference to a tribal military rank.

Cass Maher 19:25 Got it

Natalie Younger 19:26 And geographic region, but I think it's the military rank first, and then the region she grew up in was named for that. Because of her for her grandfather, neither here nor there. So Wilma Mankiller full name Wilma Pearl Mankiller, because you got to soften it a little. When your lastname is

Cass Maher 19:49 Wilma Mankiller.

Natalie Younger 19:51 When your last name was man killer, you gotta throw a little pearl in there. So I'm jumping, jumping forward in time, to the most of the story takes place in like the 60s 70s. But Wilma Mankiller was born in November 18 1945 that's a day after my husband's birthday. Not in 1945

Cass Maher 20:15 your husband's middle name is also Pearl, which is bizarre

Natalie Younger 20:18 is crazy. In a town I can't pronounce in Oklahoma,

Cass Maher 20:24 show me

Natalie Younger 20:25 Tahlequah?

Cass Maher 20:30 Well, I mean, it's got a Tahlequah. Yeah, there's no way I would have been able to pronounce it better. I just wanted to see it

Natalie Younger 20:36 The confidence, though. She's a descendant of the Cherokee Indians. And they were so there in Oklahoma, because they were forced to leave their homelands, you know, hashtag Trail of Tears, Forced to leave their homelands, to make way for white settlers in 1830s. So she's the descendant of the Cherokee Indians who were relocated there. And then she was kind of subsequently relocated, but she is the sixth of 11 children, big families on this episode, and she grew up on Mankiller Flats, which is located near Rocky Mountain Oklahoma, which I don't know where that is, either

Cass Maher 21:20 Mankiller Flats

Natalie Younger 21:21 Man killer flats.

Cass Maher 21:23 I can already see this movie

Natalie Younger 21:25 Right? You see, like the title pop up?

Cass Maher 21:27 That's like john Ford western action going on

Natalie Younger 21:34 yes. So So I believe that like, I believe that her grandfather, great grandfather had this tribal rank, and therefore that was his last name, or considered his surname. And he he owned like several plots of land and mankiller flats. So the land is indirectly named for her, not her for the land.

Cass Maher 22:00 geography lesson here as well

Natalie Younger 22:02 you know, just doing what I can. So she was she was grew up on mankiller flats, before moving with her family in 1956 to San Francisco, California, as a part of the Federal relocation act to move Indians off of the reservations and into large cities. Because the government can't make up their mind. They're like first Native Americans please move out of your home territories over here. You know what? Now you're all in this place. We'd rather have you in big cities. Let's move you over here. One biography said that they moved in hopes of a better life and they were a poor family with like 13 mouths to feed

Cass Maher 22:39 Also I feel like every history book is like, they throw on "they moved in hopes of a better life" to soften, to 'pearl' you know, that relocation forcibly

Natalie Younger 22:51 well and then another another bio a read said that was her dad Charlie's idea and that her mother Irene was not into it and did not want to go to San Francisco

Cass Maher 23:00 mom's always like "Charlie, I swear to God"

Natalie Younger 23:03 "This is my home Charlie."

Cass Maher 23:06 You wanna Man Killer?

Natalie Younger 23:09 All biographies basically said that, like Wilma didn't want to leave Oklahoma got it. Which I guess lends to spoiler alert she ends up going back to Oklahoma at some point. But so they go to California and hopes of better life but you know, guess what? California was still rough economically even in even in the 50s San Francisco was very expensive.

Cass Maher 23:30 California was never really killing it, I feel like California was a rough place for a long time

Natalie Younger 23:36 Yeah. No, they still were like impoverished in in San Francisco - maybe - I'm just gonna blame tech bros is even though this is the 50s

Cass Maher 23:48 Guys, check out this rotary phone

Natalie Younger 23:51 and surprise, surprise, loaded with discrimination against Native Americans. But reluctance aside it was in California that Wilma first got into activism. I guess I should have started with Wilma Mankiller is a

Cass Maher 24:07 Native American activist.

Natalie Younger 24:09 And the first female chief of the Cherokee Nation

Cass Maher 24:12 we are gilding so many lilies -- wait she was the first female chief

Natalie Younger 24:16 uh huh

Cass Maher 24:16 Wilma!

Natalie Younger 24:18 But, so, activism has been like a through line in her entire story. So they they moved to California. Her first like foray into activism was with San Francisco's Indian center and leader with, and this was a really dope story that I got to then go off on a tangent on, the Native American efforts to reclaim Alcatraz Island. So in...

Cass Maher 24:45 Alcatraz is so cool. I'm sorry. The Rock?

Natalie Younger 24:50 Great Nick Cage movie totally by him as a chemist.

Cass Maher 24:52 I love that movie

Natalie Younger 24:54 Yeah, so Alcatraz has been closed. The penitentiary had been closed in 1964. And been declared surplus federal property. And no, that was in 64, the penitentiary close in 63. And, according to the Treaty of Fort Laramie, in 1868, between the US and the Lakota, all retired, abandoned, or out of use Federal Land could be was, was by right could be reclaimed by the Native American tribes that had been forced out of it to begin with

Cass Maher 25:24 Hell yeah.

Natalie Younger 25:26 So in 1964, well, in 1964 a small group of Sioux demonstrated on the island for like four hours, and they were like, "Hey, can we have this back?" And then in 1969, from November 69, to June 71. So for 19 months, a bunch of American Indians from various tribes and their supporters occupied to the island, and like, lived there. Until they were like, forcibly removed by the US government.

Cass Maher 26:02 Shocker

Natalie Younger 26:02 So they were like, where there was,

Cass Maher 26:05 That's a through line here too.

Natalie Younger 26:08 Yeah. So they, their, their -- Their argument was that they that the Native American people should get Alcatraz Island back

Cass Maher 26:15 Because this in your peoples law, Americans.

Natalie Younger 26:19 Yeah. And they use the they use the Treaty of Fort Laramie as like their precedent. Yeah. legal term. Yeah, so. So this was going on and, and Wilma was was intrigued by it and like, kind of like inspired by it. She would make food and meals and bring them to the people on the island and raise money for their causes. And, so it was in San Francisco that she got like super into activism. But first marriage, she got married at 17. It was 1963. Her husband's name is Hector Hugo Olaya de Bardi. Which I just wanted to say but he doesn't matter.

Cass Maher 26:57 That is a fun name.

Natalie Younger 26:59 right? A lot of names.

Cass Maher 27:00 Hector Hugo.

Natalie Younger 27:01 Hector Hugo Olaya de Bardi. And they had two daughters, Felicia and Gina.

Cass Maher 27:08 Lot of great names in this story

Natalie Younger 27:09 Good names in this story. But it's all this....wait. Yeah. Okay. So she got super into the occupation. She was very intrigued by the occupation of Alcatraz prison. And her husband was like, "Hey, why don't you just remain a traditional housewife?" And she was like, 'Nope, I mean, my name is man killer. So"

Cass Maher 27:33 what do you think, Hector Hugo?

Natalie Younger 27:35 Hector, I don't gotta listen to you. My last name is man killer and I got shit to do.

Cass Maher 27:39 I do what I want.

Natalie Younger 27:40 I don't need no man. Also, they got divorced later anyway, which is why I keep saying he doesn't matter.

Cass Maher 27:46 checks out.

Natalie Younger 27:47 sorry, Hector. So she said, Oh, that time I have this quote, quote, "when Alcatraz occurred, I became aware of what needed to be done to let the rest of the world know that Indians had rights too" and this is when she went like all in on activism. So she took night courses and and like, got her bachelor's while working on as a coordinator for like Indian programs in Oakland public schools. And she did all this stuff in San Francisco. But then like the second she divorced Hector, she was like, "bye I'm going back to Oklahoma. because I never wanted to leave Oklahoma in the first place."

Cass Maher 28:21 Cuz California in the 60s suuuucks.

Natalie Younger 28:23 Um, yeah. So she goes back to Oklahoma and remains living on Cherokee reservation in 1977. And she brings her daughters, she's like "byeeee...she's like their man killers now, we're leaving"

Cass Maher 28:40 Come to my flats.

Natalie Younger 28:41 Yes. Come to my These are my flats.

Cass Maher 28:43 These are your flats now.

Natalie Younger 28:44 These are my These are my sensible flats.

Cass Maher 28:46 Everything the light touches is your

Natalie Younger 28:49 I imagined the light touches a lot on flats, not a lot of peaks to cast a shadow?

Cass Maher 28:54 That's a lot of light, Mankiller.

Natalie Younger 28:57 So she goes back to Oklahoma in 77. And resumes activism in Oklahoma. In 79, I believe is when we begin a trend of Wilma almost dying.

Cass Maher 29:10 Jesus

Natalie Younger 29:10 So, in 1979 she was in a serious car crash she was driving back from I think she was getting her master's. And she was driving back and had to like - from classes to where she was living. It was a long drive late at night. She has like what tried to like around a car or another car tried to go around the car and she gets in a serious had a head on collision. That like she was like in physical therapy and had to have like 17 surgeries and whatnot. But she lives, the driver of the other car does not live, the driver the other car is her best friend. So she gets in a head on collision with her best friend. And then after after recovering she was diagnosed with my my mya...I'm a doctor... myasthenia gravis, a chronic neuromuscular disease that makes speaking and simple motor functions increasingly difficult and can lead to complete paralysis. So that's like basically when she's kind of recovered from the car accident she gets diagnosed with that

Cass Maher 30:15 it's hard to be an activist when you can't talk very well.

Natalie Younger 30:17 Yeah. And there's, but there's, i guess i Cherokee vision of being of good mind which to Mankiller she took it to mean like thinking positively about what happens in your life and kind of taking whatever comes your way and and still doing the best to serve others. So she heckin' kept going. which becomes a theme it because she also had a kidney transplant, breast cancer, and lymphoma and I read one bio that said that she actually had to have two kidney transplants. So by the time..

you only got two of those

so she had no original kidneys

Cass Maher 30:51 in in the 70s

Natalie Younger 30:52 not made with original parts

Cass Maher 30:53 I don't want to get a 17 surgeries in the 70s

Natalie Younger 30:57 Yeah. Big ups to her brother Donald for the kids a donation. At least one of them. I don't know where the second one came from

Cass Maher 31:04 Donny, your mankiller but you saved this woman.

Natalie Younger 31:08 Aww what a great logline for Donny's life story. But this isn't about Donny

Cass Maher 31:16 No.

Natalie Younger 31:17 So after not dying like the first time, question mark, she took charge of the newly created Community Development Department of the Cherokee Nation. And the core of her activism in Oklahoma was kind of around what she called like self help projects. Basically, she would she would design projects that would for like rural communities that would help better them, but they were like designed to be like where you're going to help better yourself like this, you it's they would do the she would design projects to like get the community involved so that they could play a role in their own betterment and help solve their own problems and whatnot.

Cass Maher 31:55 Teach a man to fish

Natalie Younger 31:56 Yeah. The most notable one was a project in Bell, Oklahoma. It's a small village on a reservation where volunteers from the community helped construct an 18 mile long water system because they didn't have fresh water and repair dangerous housing. So that was the one

Cass Maher 32:13 was this woman just exhausted all the time?

Natalie Younger 32:16 from probably from almost dying constantly.

Cass Maher 32:18 Yeah. Hey, hold on guys. I have limited speech and motor functions

Natalie Younger 32:23 and every cancer

Cass Maher 32:24 let me get my masters also running rural outreach development programs with probably no funds and

Natalie Younger 32:32 and raising two, I'm sure, badass daughters

two Mankillers.

Yeah, two mankillers -- takes a lot out of you

Cass Maher 32:38 damn, all well thinking positive thoughts.

Natalie Younger 32:40 Yes. So the project at Bell, the water system, got her recognized in Ms. Magazine as Woman of the Year in 1987. So good for her

Cass Maher 32:49 it better.

Natalie Younger 32:50 And she met her, she met her second husband working on that project cuz I believe he was a volunteer she recruited. His name was Charlie Soap.

Cass Maher 33:01 So many good names.

Natalie Younger 33:04 It's a good name. It's a good-- Charlie soap.

Cass Maher 33:06 He should have taken her last name.

Natalie Younger 33:08 He was a full blooded, Native American -- full blooded Cherokee. And was totally cool with her not being a traditional housewife. I'm sorry, I'm hating so much on Hector.

Cass Maher 33:20 Hector Hugo.

Natalie Younger 33:21 But so all of that is just like that's before she even did what she's like most known for.

Cass Maher 33:26 Oh, we haven't even hit that yet?

Natalie Younger 33:28 We haven't hit her becoming chief.

Cass Maher 33:29 Oh, that's right.

Natalie Younger 33:30 Yeah. So she became she became deputy principal chief of the Cherokee Nation in 83. And then the principal chief resigned in 85. He resigned to take a position in like the some Federal Bureau Bureau of Indian Affairs or something. Something

Cass Maher 33:49 bureaucratic

Natalie Younger 33:50 bureaucratic and seemly, incorrectly named. And, and so. So she became the first female principal chief of the modern Cherokee Nation by like, just default because she was deputy. Yeah. And at that, I think at that time, and still, the Cherokee Nation is the second largest tribe in the US after the Navajo but yeah, so she just took over for him because he left for the other role. Yeah. So she had to run for reelection. So she ran for reelection in 87. And even though she had already done the job, had a hell of a time. Like faced a lot of opposition.

Oh, yeah.

Not for any like, particularly like stances, but just because she was a woman.

Cass Maher 34:38 Yeah. Cuz clearly she had done the work and had proven she can do her job.

Natalie Younger 34:43 She done the work at that point for two years

Cass Maher 34:44 you know that word 'electability' that we keep hearing?

Natalie Younger 34:50 Yeah, like her car is vandalized, she was threatened. And what's weird about this is that I guess like, in traditional Charokee culture, like women play a vital role in social and political issues like and women are women. empowered women are like a normal thing.

Cass Maher 35:07 Yeah, it's not a matriarchal society. But they are

Natalie Younger 35:09 No, there's like a balance

Cass Maher 35:11 But they are very valued.

Natalie Younger 35:14 So, in one of her in her autobiography, Mankiller argued that like European conquest, disrupted kind of that idea of balance between the two genders in the Cherokee Nation, and,

Cass Maher 35:27 and also a lot of Native American tribes believe in multiple genders, that there are multiple genders.

Natalie Younger 35:34 That's fair.

Cass Maher 35:34 That's dope.

Natalie Younger 35:36 so yeah, so she just felt that having a female chief was like a good - a small but strong step back to achieving that gender balance.

Cass Maher 35:46 Oh, that's awesome.

Natalie Younger 35:47 That they used to have traditionally before Europeans came and fucked up everything,

Cass Maher 35:53 man, we kind of did a lot of that...fuckin up things.

Natalie Younger 35:57 Yeah. Shared History: What did what did...

Nat & Cass 36:02 How did white people ruin this / How did the whites ruin everything?

Natalie Younger 36:06 I mean, that could literally be the tagline of most things.

Cass Maher 36:11 Most history books.

Natalie Younger 36:12 most history books. But obviously she won the election in 87. Ran again for reelection in 91. Won again. And then retired in 95. Because

Cass Maher 36:26 Girl needs a break! Oh my god,

Natalie Younger 36:29 she cited illness and I'm like, I feel like ill health... you, you carried through a lot ill health. You get to--You don't need a reason to retire.

Cass Maher 36:38 Wilma you couldn've use ill health as a reason to retire a long time ago, you're tired.

Natalie Younger 36:43 Like you've you've done enough.

Cass Maher 36:45 You did the work.

Natalie Younger 36:47 When she was chief she focused on like education and job training and health care

Cass Maher 36:51 a lot more of that, like, self sufficient.

Natalie Younger 36:54 Yeah, helping yourselves. She also worked with the federal government to pilot like, more self governance of Native American tribes. She worked with the EPA, and she, she, I love this, "She worked to improve the image of Native Americans while staunchly combating the misappropriation of Native Heritage."

Cass Maher 37:16 Oh my god.

Natalie Younger 37:18 Yes.

Cass Maher 37:18 That's a big task.

Natalie Younger 37:20 Yeah.

Cass Maher 37:20 Especially in the 70s.

Late 70s and 80s, trying to be like, "yes, we agree. We're important and our culture and our heritage is impressive and important. Please stop taking it as your own."

Yeah. Village People

Natalie Younger 37:35 Please stop buying your children dream catchers.

Cass Maher 37:39 Hey, Coachella take off the headdresses.

Natalie Younger 37:42 Yeah, I had a dream catcher as a kid. And I'm like, I feel bad about it.

Cass Maher 37:47 I went to summer camp, and we made them all the time with like yarn and stuff.

Natalie Younger 37:52 What a beautiful piece of heritage that you made...your traditional yarn dreamcatcher. But yeah, so by the end of her tenure, like the budget for the Cherokee Nation was like 150 million dollars. And they and the membership population had like doubled. And yeah, and then after leaving office, because she was like, "Guys, I don't feel great. And I've done a lot. I'm tired," and then retires and immediately is like, still lecturing. Still like, like, authors, several books.

Cass Maher 38:29 She's a woman who's like, you know what, I'm gonna take a break and focus on me. All right, I've got a rally coming up. We're gonna have some speeches and some outreach stuff.

Natalie Younger 38:39 I gotta teach a class at this local college. I think she taught at Dartmouth, that's not a local college,

Cass Maher 38:46 Of course she did

Natalie Younger 38:46 you know, small college, Dartmouth

Cass Maher 38:48 casual you ever heard of Dartmouth?

Natalie Younger 38:49 ever heard of it? You wouldn't hear of it, it's very small.

Cass Maher 38:53 Do you know what she got her master's in?

Natalie Younger 38:55 I do not know what she got her masters in.

Cass Maher 38:57 I'm sure it was some sort of, like, like, women's lib or like, you know Poli Sci, it was probably like a double masters. But like "I don't need to talk about that. I got work to do."

Natalie Younger 39:10 Yeah, yeah, she's like, "I don't need it. I'm just here to like, help you help you. I just want to help you help yourself." She received numerous honors, appropriately so.

Cass Maher 39:21 Thank God.

Natalie Younger 39:23 One of which being the Presidential Medal of Freedom, which she received in 98. So it would have been with Clinton. Yeah, there's a bunch of other people who got that, I think a Rockefeller got it that year. Because Rockefeller is gonna Rockefeller,

Cass Maher 39:40 Lean and Rockefeller.

Natalie Younger 39:42 Lean with it and Rockefeller it

Cass Maher 39:43 He worked so hard accruing his millions.

Natalie Younger 39:46 Yeah, I mean, thanks, as an art kid. Thanks, Rockefellers, for being patrons of the arts. Thank you, Rockefeller, specifically for the hit TV show. 30 Rock. You did it David Rockefeller. Thank you.

Rip Camillucci 40:34 Oh, yeah, we call facts beats here on Shared History.

Cass Maher 40:38 Hey, you got the beat on that? Yeah, let me drop it real quick.

Natalie Younger 40:42 Yeah, so that's, uh, that's Wilma Mankiller. She is sadly no longer with us. She passed away in 2010 of pancreatic cancer

Cass Maher 40:51 wait, when she was born, she was born in 34? 45

Natalie Younger 40:54 45. Yes.

Cass Maher 40:56 How old is she? What's math?

Natalie Younger 40:57 I'm bad at math. What is that? That's a 6--

Nat & Cass 41:01 That's gotta be 75?

Cass Maher 41:05 Sybil Ludington outlives her

Natalie Younger 41:06 Please hit the comments with better math than we can do.

Cass Maher 41:09 Sybil Ludington outlived her if that's it

Natalie Younger 41:10 Yeah, that's insane

Cass Maher 41:11 But also, she did a 40 mile ride at 16 and had plenty of time to chill after that. Yeah.

Natalie Younger 41:16 Also, did Sybil Ludington have every cancer?

Cass Maher 41:19 Probably not.

Natalie Younger 41:21 And like no clean drinking water?

Cass Maher 41:23 Oh, God

Natalie Younger 41:23 and or Well, I was gonna say or electricity but Sybil Ludington didn't have electricity.

Cass Maher 41:28 But she's good at riding a horse. No Sybil, you are awesome. And we thank you for your service to this country. Also, Wilma was probably just like, "another kidney? Cool. Go ahead. Do what you gotta do. Doctors. I'm working. Yeah. Can I have like a standing desk while you're doing all this?"

Natalie Younger 41:44 Yeah, I have plans. So can we just like Hurry up this second kidney transplant?

Cass Maher 41:51 I just hate hearing these stories. When it's like, oh, she was busting her ass and so overqualified. And doing the work and it doesn't even seem like a footnote. Because I've never heard this in anything.

Natalie Younger 42:06 Yeah. When I like i was -- i hate US history. So I was like, trying to figure out who I was gonna talk about. And I really wanted to do, I really want to do a woman of color. And I was like, Oh, I found so many activists are women of color in this country. It's insane. And also 100% justified and believable. And there should be many more activists that are not people of color because they need to stop doing all the work for us.

Cass Maher 42:38 Like a nap. Let me help. Yeah.

Natalie Younger 42:41 But uh, I started, I read just like a little blurb on her. And I was like, I wonder if there's like, enough here. And then I got into this and I was like,

Cass Maher 42:51 and Wilma was like, "hold my beer."

Natalie Younger 42:53 Yeah.

Cass Maher 42:54 Cuz I'm working. I can't drink right now.

Natalie Younger 42:56 Yeah, I can't drink right now. I have things to do. I have communities to rebuild.

Cass Maher 43:02 Oh, my God.

Natalie Younger 43:03 I have impacts to make. I have--

Cass Maher 43:06 and I have like several illnesses

Natalie Younger 43:07 tribes on Alcatraz to feed. And two beautiful daughters.

Cass Maher 43:12 and two beautiful daughters.

Natalie Younger 43:15 Who are also probably very smart.

Cass Maher 43:16 Yeah. I wonder what they're doing now.

Natalie Younger 43:18 well tune in next time....I do want to read, I have a quote because Obama issued a statement after her passing

Cass Maher 43:27 drop that beat

Natalie Younger 43:28 because she passed away during his presidency. He said, "as the Cherokee nation's first female Chief, she transformed the nation to nation relationship between the Cherokee Nation and the federal government and served as an inspiration to women in Indian country and across America." And he stated "her legacy will continue to encourage and motivate all who carry on her work." I just any opportunity to quote Obama I'm going to take

Yeah, Yes, we can.

Yes. We could.

Cass Maher 43:58 Oh, wompwomp.

Natalie Younger 44:02 On that note,

Cass Maher 44:03 Yes, we will. Yeah.

Natalie Younger 44:08 But yeah, I just, I just really liked that her story was one riddled with disease and great names.

Cass Maher 44:16 Seriously, can we recap some names quick?

Natalie Younger 44:19 Charlie Soap

Cass Maher 44:20 Charlie Soap. Hector Hugo

Natalie Younger 44:23 Mankiller

Cass Maher 44:24 Wilma Pearl

Natalie Younger 44:25 Wilma Pearl Mankiller

Cass Maher 44:26 Irene and what was Dads name?

Natalie Younger 44:28 dad's name was Charlie as well.

Cass Maher 44:30 Oh, yeah. And Donny mankiller and

Natalie Younger 44:33 Hector Hugo Olaya de Bardi and Felicia and Gina. And Donny, Donny and his kidney.

Cass Maher 44:41 Donny and those kidneys.

Natalie Younger 44:42 Donny and those kidneys.

Cass Maher 44:43 Wow.

Natalie Younger 44:44 Yeah, I'd never heard of her.

Cass Maher 44:46 No.

Natalie Younger 44:47 But that's what we're here for.

Cass Maher 44:49 That is why we're here to share history with y'all

Natalie Younger 44:54 dude, I-- reading about this too, also, like I went down so many rabbit holes because like I could do it whole episode just on the Occupation of Alcatraz because it's like, I just think it's really interesting. It should be the plot for the sequel to The Rock. And it's like so interesting and like and also sad. Because I mean, they're not, they aren't there. But still just, now it's just like a tourist destination. But yeah, I'm glad that like you did like a rebel because I almost did one that was more about like colonial days.

Cass Maher 45:33 Yeah.

Natalie Younger 45:34 I'm glad that like, it just so happened that you went colonial and I went within the last century

Cass Maher 45:40 Started with the colonizers and ended with the

Natalie Younger 45:42 Yeah, started with start started with the colonizers and ended with the indigenous people. With the native people.

Cass Maher 45:49 Yeah, you and I aren't huge history buffs or I mean US history buffs.

Natalie Younger 45:54 No.

Cass Maher 45:56 I think part of that is it's so hammered into us in, like grade school and stuff. And it's very much like "look at how great..."

Natalie Younger 46:08 I would love to study US history in a different country. Like I would love to like study. I wish I'd studied abroad.

Cass Maher 46:16 Yeah.

Natalie Younger 46:17 And taken like a US history.

Cass Maher 46:19 Yeah.

Natalie Younger 46:20 I don't know that. I wanted to that. I would care too much to take the US history. Like, in like if I had like, if I was like in London. Likfe if I was in England. I don't think I'm

Cass Maher 46:29 --all right. So our cousins got mad at us. And they threw a hissy fit. And we love our tea and they threw it all away.

Natalie Younger 46:38 Yeah, they threw away all of our tea. It was a really rough time for us.

Cass Maher 46:41 Yeah. No, it'd be awesome to get the outside perspective. I'm sure a lot of the bullet points would be the same, but the tone would be a bit different.

Natalie Younger 46:49 Yes. And I'm sure that like, also, yeah, just other countries of, other nations have been around so much longer.

Cass Maher 46:57 Yeah. Americas real young.

Natalie Younger 47:01 Yeah, we BBs

Cass Maher 47:02 Yeah.

Natalie Younger 47:02 I once student taught in -- when I was in high school, I student taught an eighth grade US...seventh grade? seventh grade US history class. Shout out to Mr. Cheney whose not gonna listen to this but if he did, I would lose my mind. I loved that man's class. I, he, I like student taught with him. And I had to teach. He taught US history. I wanted to student teach history. And he happened to be my cooperating teacher and it was US history. And I was like, ugh. But I had to teach you the Declaration of Independence. And I taught it as a breakup letter. Because when I was in middle school, everyone I broke up with I did it via note. So it seemed like it would resonate with the seventh or eighth graders in the audience to teach breakup letter.

Cass Maher 47:57 Dear Britain, it's not me. It's you.

Natalie Younger 48:02 we slid this into Britain's locker

Cass Maher 48:04 will you let us have own country? Check Yes, No or Maybe. They said no. We changed that

Natalie Younger 48:10 We're gonna do it anyway. Yeah, we, we crossed-- they said no, but they did it in a pencil, so.

Cass Maher 48:16 PS there's a map on the back of this ...bring it back to Nic Cage.

Natalie Younger 48:22 PS here's where we hid all of the treasure.

Cass Maher 48:25 Say what?

Natalie Younger 48:27 Tray-sure

Cass Maher 48:28 Yeah, US History was always really boring to me because we are such a young nation then it's like cool. We're spending like 12 years in school going over a little bit of this where it's like when you do you know European history or-- that's really the only history we get. You literally got thousands a years on that, so it's like a little variety.

Natalie Younger 48:48 I took a class in high school that was a golden age of the Mediterranean and we like started at like Mesopotamia and like went through the Renaissance?

Cass Maher 48:59 which you probably barely got to touch on anything

Natalie Younger 49:01 Yeah, it's just like--

Cass Maher 49:01 because so much happened inbetween that... cool. They made a painting, statues.

Natalie Younger 49:07 Big wooden horse

Cass Maher 49:07 Split from a lot of churches, bunch of schisms

Natalie Younger 49:10 Yeah we're going to spend one week on all of the schisms, we're gonna cover all the schisms in one week. I will lightly touch on some on some papal orgies in that. There will be there will be an episode of this podcast where I'll cover papal orgies. And then great everyone had the plague and now it's modern day.

Cass Maher 49:33 Cool. If you want to learn any more about this take a really hyper specific elective.

Natalie Younger 49:37 Yeah. Or watch Mamma Mia....to learn about the golden age of the mediterranean. The true Golden Age of the Mediterranean.

Cass Maher 49:46 I feel like this podcast is like the Mamma Mia historic, historical, you know, it's like we're going to talk about this but we're just gonna, we're gonna have fun. and maybe sing a little

Natalie Younger 49:54 and no one can see it but we're definitely wearing huge bell bottoms and platform shoes

Cass Maher 49:58 but there also is a strobe light where Rip is behind on the ones and twos.

Natalie Younger 50:01 Yep. And Rip is wearing like a real like plunging neckline with just chest hair. just magnificent chest hair.

Cass Maher 50:09 Yeah, it's...I wish you guys could see this. It's Fabulous. Yeah.

Natalie Younger 50:14 he's doing this for just for us.

Cass Maher 50:16 Yeah. He spent a lot-- he bought all this equipment just for this

Natalie Younger 50:20 Yes. All this AV equipment.

Cass Maher 50:22 Yo, great story

Natalie Younger 50:23 Yeah so that's the story of Wilma Mankiller. That's Yes. Sybil Ludington. I'm surprised I had never heard of because

Cass Maher 50:28 Yeah, because she

Natalie Younger 50:30 because she's a white woman.

Cass Maher 50:31 She's a white woman. She is like, I feel like she is always, not always, but it is a little more well known Female history. I feel like you can hear abou--you have a better chance of hearing about her. But it would always be like, there's this chick named Sybil, she's good at riding a horse.

Natalie Younger 50:48 "She did it first"

Cass Maher 50:53 Wow, we that was a lot of history.

Natalie Younger 50:55 Yeah, I hope everyone learned.

Cass Maher 50:57 Thanks for sharing.

Natalie Younger 50:58 I hate you so much.

Cass Maher 51:00 You said Wilma Mankiller wrote a memoir.

Natalie Younger 51:06 She has an autobiography.

Cass Maher 51:07 I'm gonna be reading that.

Natalie Younger 51:08 Yeah, I didn't write down the title. But shout out to women's history.org and The New York Times and Wikipedia for for being my major sources.

Those are your citations kids working on your papers.

Thus brings us to the conclusion of the first episode of shared history. Thank you for sharing this with us. Rip doesn't have his mic in front of him, but he just let out the heaviest of sighs.

Cass Maher 51:41 So, if you guys want to get a hold of us, our Instagram and Twitter handles are @sharedpod.

Natalie Younger 52:01 Cass no

Cass Maher 52:02 Oh, no. We don't share that? Great. I should note that shared is spelled like

Natalie Younger 52:10 the word not the name? Not Sonny and?

I was gonna say it was Sonny Cher. No, it is spelled s-h-a-r-e-d. Yes, I wanted to do a Cher bit.

Rip Camillucci 52:18 Cher'd history spelled like Sonny and Cher will be the Patreon bonus series where it's just all Cher stories

Natalie Younger 52:26 and that'll always bring us back to

Life update and some other things!

I'm sorry, the old Venus can't come to the phone right now... Why?... Oh, 'cause he's dead!

Yes, you're not having a hallucination, I'm indeed back with the blog. I mean, I'm not completely back yet, but I'm in the process of coming back.

So, you may be asking (or not) why I've bee away for an entire month and well this post is to tell what happened.

I was trying to keep a schedule of posts because I'm a madman and I thought that having consistency in the form of posting daily would be a great idea and that the world would conspire in my favor and would let that happen while having two huge long term projects coexisting. It happens that life isn't as kind and it came to bite me in the ass for trying to do too much stuff at the same time.

There wasn't necessarily one specific thing that lead me to take a break, it was more like a conversion of bad things happening at the same time in my personal life that really worn me down to an estate of deep sadness and exhaustion, and to my luck, all of that decided to happen at the same time as quarantine started in Brazil which brought a lot of tension, a huge political mess, and a whole lot of anxiety as our current president and his supporters seem to not care for the well being of the population thinking that the virus is just a made-up thing to make him and his government look bad. And don't even get me started in the whole lot of unconstitutional stuff has been happening, and that apparently no one in our justice system seems to care, that just makes the fear of us falling into another dictatorial regime after only 35 years of being back into living in a democracy hunt me in my dreams at night.

As you can see, this hasn't been the happiest of times.

And it just gets worse because the things that were supposed to help me in escaping from this terrifying reality actually only made me feel worse. First, because I couldn't just sit down and watch them, I had to watch and write about them, which was something I honestly had no energy to do. And second, because I wasn't exactly happy with the shows themselves, you know? I was really done with Prichan after the another!Daia arc, Zero-One had been constantly making me angry, all of the problems I had with Precure 5 seemed to only have been exacerbated into extreme levels in GoGo, Kamen Rider Ghost's 2nd and 3rd arc were just ghastly, and On Parade... well, was On Parade. Only Healin' Good was genuinely making me happy but even that I tried to avoid because I was very afraid of my mood ruining my experience with the show and turning something I really enjoyed into something that I hated.

And I know that it seems that I'm that salty bitch who loves to hate things just for the sake of it and that I should be thriving if I was seeing a lot of problems in the shows I was watching, but that's very far from the truth, I actually hate talking about bad things. Because the franchises I cover here are things that I love, I mean, this is a personal blog where I tell my PERSONAL experiences as I watch these shows, and as things that I love I want all of them to be good and I wanna say good things about them, but I can't come here and fake saying that I loved something and I had the greatest time ever because it would go against what this blog is about. Also faking enthusiasm is just as mentally exhausting as being honest and talking shit about stuff so that wouldn't really solve any of my problems.

So, in a self-preservation move, I step away from this blog and I indulged myself in a whole bunch of shit that wasn't anime in order to get me up and running again while I try to forget the problems of the world. I've listened to a shit-ton of podcasts, I've done some gaming (which is something that I barely do), obviously I cleaned and cooked a lot (like most of the people in quarantine are doing), and I've even got back into reading which was something that I haven't really done since my tablet broke like two years ago. Gosh, I even found out I actually like musicals and I've been watching recordings of shows on youtube non-stop and that has brought me a lot of joy (and I believe a lot of headaches to my neighbors). Heck, I even got to watch a few of the anime that just started in the most recent season and even got to find some new faves, so that break time was really helpful in making my mind drift away from all the negativities and the bad energy that was lurking around.

Of course, I'm still not 100% back, I'm still feeling very tired and my sense of time is all messed up, but I'm feeling better and I'm feeling renewed so I thought it was the time to slowly get back with the blog. And you can call me weird here, but it didn't feel right to be back with new energies and a new vibe and continue with the same dumb name for the blog. Like, I know this is a dumb thing to be hung on, but I gotta be honest I was never fully happy with my usernames that I've used in the past two~three years. I think CureCupid is a dumb name and venus-moonrise is even dumber, and I've been wanting to rebrand for a long ass time but I'm not a creative hoe and I couldn't think of a better name that wouldn't sound silly as hell and it wouldn't include the words venus, moon, and fairy, in any shape or form.

But I thought about it and realized that there wouldn't be any other time as perfect as this one to change my URLs, because I already lost the timing once when I stopped making gifs at CureCupid and I had that huge ass break in the blog before I came back to it in August last year, and since I'm with renewed energies would be very conflicting to keep going while having this thing with a dark aura around bringing me enjoyment down. And so I changed my usernames, I'm sorry for making you all confused, but I needed a concrete change.

And that's not the only change happening. Forget the daily posts, I may try that again in the future, but not for now. Until my gears are grinding to their full capacities I will post whenever I want, but whenever I get ready to have a schedule again I will post only 4 days of the week because if there's a thing that this period has taught me is that I need to consume other things that aren't precure, aikatsu, and kamen rider, so that I don't go crazy. So there's that.

Finally to conclude this long-ass post I would like to thank you all for still keeping up with me even though I'm a terrible content creator. I don't know if people on tumblr are aware but I have a WordPress blog that is basically the same thing as the tumblr just with more screenshots of the episodes and that blog hasn't had a single day with 0 visitors even though I haven't posted in the past 38 days and I'm really grateful for that and I hope that from now on I can match up with this support.

I'm not sure when I'll be back with the weekly show reviews, thankfully for the purposes of this blog almost all shows I cover are in hiatus due to COVID-19 so I can catch up with them easily without feeling pressured. But before that I decided that I'll do a monthly faves post to come out sometime during this week, is not necessarily a post with only my favorite things of the month, I just got inspired by Pixielocks video and I wanted to do something to talk about the things I watched during the break and it's something I want to become a regular thing for the blog so I have another incentive to watch other things without the need of commitment.

Well, I've written way more than I needed but I'm glad I was finally able to put this out, it may seem like a silly thing but it really made me feel better to be able to open up about stuff. Thank you so much for reading, be safe, take care of yourself, happy mother's day (!!!), and I hope I can meet you in the next time. Bye-bye.

The space invaders are real. They’re here. They’re mean. And they’re standing in judgement over the citizens of Earth. The human race’s final exam. They’ve chosen a single champion to test and, unfortunately for us, it’s none other than Jeff Steinberg. Romantically challenged idiot, video store clerk, constipated, confused, distractible.

It Only Gets Much Worse (Grey’s Anatomy: Season 13, Episode 13)

1. I really like April, but I really don’t like how Bailey just replaced Mer without one thought.... She suspended Meredith.... she didn’t FIRE Meredith... so... What is Meredith supposed to do when she comes back? Work under Dr. Kepner? (I’m not putting April down. April is a great doctor, and I really like her as a person... I just.. ugh.) Meredith could probably leave Grey-Sloan and be Chief of General Surgery elsewhere and STILL have a board seat and ownership at Grey-Sloan without working there.

2. My opinion on Catherine Avery still stands.... She’s a witch, and shame on her for sandbagging her husband.... You know good and well that you told Bailey what to do... What did you expect to happen after you said the residency program needs a revamp without talking to the director of the program, i.e., your HUSBAND....... Ah. I cannot stand that woman... She is terrible. Literally, Richard deserves so much better than that crappy, evil woman.

3. Minnick is such a bitch too. Every time I see Minnick’s face, I want to PUNCH HER IN THE FACE.

4. “She’s slinking.... traitor. No offense [to Avery]” -Maggie

5. I would still NOT feel comfortable having a resident do my (or my family’s) surgical procedure entirely start to finish......... No.... Not until you’re in that last year where you’re almost board certified would I be kind of okay with a resident operating on me... Otherwise, please just do parts of the procedure with an experienced surgeon helping.... :o

6. “Special treatment... from your chief-wife.....”

7. Stephanie needs to CALM down that ego of hers..... Girl, you’re still in training... you aren’t a full-fledged surgeon yet.. Chill out. You’re acting like you can do no wrong... (Side note: I’d definitely not let her operate on my when she’s so full of herself.)

8. Also, how can April just take away Dr. Webber’s surgery? He’s on payroll to be a surgeon... not a babysitter.

“You can assist... and help... ONLY when requested.. but it will be Dr. Warren’s OR.” -April..

Uhm... excuse me........ One thing goes wrong in that OR and Ben could lose his license because he is doing a procedure by himself when he’s not ready for it..... GAAH

9. Stephanie is such a suck up.

10. I don’t know why Jackson’s surprised his mother’s behind the shit show... He knows his mother is a sneaky, conniving woman....

I think Jackson’s probably hurt that his mother would do something like this to her HUSBAND....

Poor Jackson... It’s a wonder he grew up and because a good man.. Because with her as a mother, you’d think he’d grow up to be a bitch.

11. I’d be so pissed if I were Murphy and Minnick just took away HER patient..... (I don’t really like Murphy...but really, Minnick....?)

12. “Dr. NOT DR. GREY. Dr. Grey knows my roots!” --> I’m liking this patient...

13. “That kind of loyalty is appreciated... Loyalty is so rare in this kind of world...” -Maggie says [while she glares at Kepner]

14. Oh my gosh.. Stephanie is sooo happy to do surgery on that little boy... What happens if she kills him in surgery?! :o Then she wouldn’t be so happy... and she’d have ruined a family.

15. “No.. No.. you won’t talk to him. I have enough problems...being the first lady......” -Ben [to Bailey] (Poor Ben... he’s in such a shitty position...)

16. Bailey: Warren is doing his start-to-finish surgery.... I thought I’d observe.

Webber: Really? Observe him? Or observe me? [turns to Warren] Did you ask her to come in here? Do you not trust me to follow the protocol?

Warren: No, sir. I didn’t even know she was going to come.

Really Bailey??? You’re going to make this uncomfortable situation even more uncomfortable for your husband? [Again, poor Ben.]

17. Maggie: Shut up! Just shut your face!

April: Maggie!

Maggie: I thought you were with us. I thought you were with Richard. And then you go and do this?

April: I took a job. It was an opportunity.

Maggie: It’s aiding the enemy.

April: I’m not saying I agree with Bailey.

Maggie: But you are saying that it’s not a deal breaker. Not for you. Not if it gets you what you want. TRAITOR.

April: I’m doing my job!!! This is my job, Maggie!! Someone here has to act like an adult.

18. Bailey: Dr. Warren, did you know my first solo surgery was also with Dr. Webber?

(Yea.. bailey.. because Webber raised you.. he trained you.. he taught you EVERYTHING you know.. He got you to chief... and this is how you repay him? Stabbing him in the back?)

Webber: Yea, the difference between then is now is that Dr. Bailey forgot that I know how to teach.

19. Webber: [to Bailey] Let me see.. You fired me. Then, you fired Grey.

20. Webber: It’s tough to be a leader when you have no one to lead. [to Bailey]

21. Arizona: [to Minnick] You’re not letting a resident operate on a kid! You’re NOT a peds surgeon! You’re a sports medicine ortho surgeon.

Dear God, if I were the parents of that child who a resident is about to operate on, I would be taking my child to a different hospital or getting an actual pediatric surgeon to operate on my kid...

Minnick acts like the bodies on the surgical table are corpses.... These bodies mean nothing to her... NEWSFLASH: These bodies are someone’s child.. mother.. father.. sister.. brother... NOT PURE FLESH TO EXPERIMENT surgery on.

22. Arizona knows this is a bad idea..... she knows something bad is going to happen to that boy.... (I do not have a good feeling about this “solo surgery.”)

23. “This is my first. I’m never going to get another one.” -Dr. Warren

24. Edwards is still acting like she owns the world....... Girl... stop.

25. “You know who was nice? Dr. Grey.” --cancer patient

April: You know who’s nice? Me. I’m the nicest in this hospital. Ask anyone.. In a contest of who’s nicest -- I take that win. I win by a lot. I AM the nicest.

[Way to act like an adult, April... because talking to your patient about who’s nicest and bad-talking your fellow surgeon is certainly what an adult would do.]

26. Minnick acts like she’s the boss of all the attendings...... She’s NOT. What the actual hell? She may be the new resident director, but that doesn’t mean she can order around attendings.... (also owners of the hospital... Because Arizona owns part of the hospital and has a board seat... If someone ever talked to a member of the board of directors like that in the actual business, he/she’d be fired so fast, he/she wouldn’t know what hit him/her.)

27. What the hell?!?!!? APRIL STOP BEING A BITCH..... (I really HATE how the writers are once again making us hate April..........) UGH!

28. I called it.. that boy is going to die because Minnick let an inexperienced resident operate on a child, while Edwards has always practiced on adults.

I’d sue the hospital if I were the parents.

29. Minnick is frozen in the OR... Are you really a surgeon? Like.........

30. WTH Minnick? You’re not even talking to Edwards? Explaining what happened in there? what went wrong?.... You’re obviously a crap teacher. Then you just walk away without saying one word to Edwards?!?!?!?!?

31. Arizona better not go comfort that witch.

32. Webber: You know, I was always a fine surgeon, but I’m an excellent teacher. And today I was a complete failure. I know you thought this program had problems.. well it sure as hell does now.

Catherine: Richard

Webber: Bailey was my favorite student. I brought her in as an intern. I saw her through all the way to chief. She was MY start-to-finish, and you turned her against me.

33. This conversation between April and Jackson is painful to watch... GAH! WTH Shonda. Jackson & April deserve to be happy... and once again you’re ruining it...

34. Arizona: What kind of teacher are you? You don’t just teach them what you do with their hands, you teach them what to do with this. how to live through this.

Minnick: I know.

Arizona: You don’t. You’re the attending - win or lose. You take the hit because if you put it on her, she might quit. You might think she can’t survive it.. so you show her she can. You tell her when this happened to me...

Minnick: It hasn’t.

(Wth.. you’re a surgeon, and you’ve never lost ONE patient? I find that very hard to believe.... Oh. She said she’s never had a kid patient die.... Hmmmmm.. well you’re not a peds surgeon, so maybe you shouldn’t be teaching with children’s bodies as teaching experiments. You had NO business letting Edwards operate on a child.)

35. Gosh... I wish Arizona would scream at Minnick more... stop comforting her. She deserves to feel like shit. (I probably sound like a bitch right now, but this show has got me stressed to the max :0 :[ )

36. If she wanted Edwards to do that surgery “start-to-finish,” then, telling the child’s parents should probably fall on Edward’s shoulders.......

37. Gosh, now Edwards comes crying to Dr. Webber.... (Dr. Webber was always a mentor to Edwards, and she treated him like crap so she could get some “flashy surgeries with Minnick..”)

Also, I bet Edwards doesn’t feel all high and mighty now that she accidentally killed that boy...

38. Edwards: He was my patient, and he died.. He was a little boy.

39. Dr. Webber is such a good mentor/teacher.. He knows just what to say to residents... I don’t know why Bailey and Catherine think he’s a bad teacher.... He’s wonderful, and he knows how to calm people down.

(Obviously he’s done something right since he raised you, Bailey..... And taught your son, Catherine.) >;[

40. I know Minnick knows that she’ll never be half the teacher Webber is....

41. Oh my gosh.... I cannot stand Catherine Avery... What the hell.. now she’s lying to April about how everything “was Bailey..”

42. Catherine might’ve had to work for it in the beginning, but the minute she married Jackson’s father, everything fell in her lap.... I don’t think Catherine is “just like April.” That’s bull.

43. “Put that away, and let’s celebrate this.. I don’t exactly have a party waiting for me when I get home...[to April] ” ---Catherine ... HMMMM I wonder why?!?!?!?! You betrayed your husband..... and you’re tearing April away from her baby’s father and all of her friends.

44. Don’t do it, Arizona.... I literally cannot stand Minnick..... At the point, i’d literally pick anyone to be with Arizona over Minnick...... I’d even prefer Leah, who I really don’t like either.... CALLIE, COME BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

45. “You know, you could have friends here, if you wanted to....” -Arizona to Minnick... (uhm, what “friends” are you talking about?? If Minnick’s there then, Webber’s out....so....)

I’m sorry this post is so long... I just have so many feelings, and that episode drove me up the wall... If Grey’s keeps going in this direction, I don’t know if I’ll be able to watch it anymore.
