[This Bites] (1)

Pairing: Astarion x F! Chubby! MC

Plot: Through some mysterious and very miraculous events, a young woman finds herself literally stuck with a character from her current video game obsession. You can guess it already. It's an isekai type fanfic. Except in this case Astarion is stuck in our modern world. I was gonna call the MC Tav, but since the actual game character Tav is mentioned I just named her Winnie.

Content Warnings: Death….sorta, An asshole of a stepdad, MC uses She/Her pronouns, eventual smut and sexual content in future parts. Characters may be Ooc, grammar/spelling mistakes are possible. MC has very low self esteem. Depressed MC.

Chapter One: You are here!

Chapter Two: Here!

~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~

“Argh I knew something would go wrong with this game!” The female huffed, staring down at her computer. Her eyes scanned over the error message titled ‘Character not found.’ She gritted her teeth in frustration. “God forbid I try mods….”

The young woman groaned, shutting her laptop and falling back onto the bed. Apparently after finally installing a cheat mod onto Baldur's Gate 3 the game decided to retaliate and locked her out of her save files. She couldn't even create a new character either! The same ‘Character not found’ message seemed to pop up no matter what she did. The girl’s name was Winnie, a college student in her early twenties who was still living at home. Not too long ago Winnie had gotten the game upon release. She'd played it several times since then and even yet was still able to find some hidden secrets she didn't notice the first time. Honestly this game had really helped with her current state. Life had just been dull and miserable. All her friends had moved on and had their own lives now and she really wasn't the best at making new ones.

She had a dull boring job, did online writing classes and also had to put up with the asshole her mother married. This game had been a godsend for her these past few months. It gave her an escape. A way to be someone else, at least for a little while anyway.

Not to mention live out her somewhat cringey teenage girl fantasy of dating a walking red flag of a vampire. In this game she felt important. Like she was some badass heroine who was ready to take on any foe. Not the shy, scared, awkward woman who she saw in the mirror.

Her cat Maddie broke Winnie from her thoughts as she hopped up onto the bed and crawled onto the young woman's chest. Winnie ran her hand over the cat's thick fluffy black fur. Maddie gave a small mew before purring noisily and gently kneading her claws into Winnie’s chest.

Winnie sighed, scratching the sides of Maddie's face as she was soothed by the feline’s pur.

“WINNIE! GET YOUR ASS IN HERE!!” A gruff male voice shouted from the other room, causing Maddie to jump and scramble off of Winnie and hide under the bed.

The brunette haired girl sighed and got up, walking out of the room and cautiously stepping down the hall.

“Yes, Brian?” Winnie spoke up as she entered the kitchen. She looked over to see her stepfather stumbling about. Brian was a rather large man with short dark hair and beard. He was well….very unpleasant.

“Where are the goddamn car keys?” He growled out.

“Dunno, I don't drive.” Winnie said calmly as she leaned up against the wall, “mom probably put them somewhere. Check the coffee table by the recliner.”

Brian stomped off, a tiny tan fluff of a dog following after him. He grabbed the keys before walking back into the kitchen.

“I'm going to the store. Keep that stupid cat of yours in your room! It keeps shitting all over the carpet!”

“I've told you over and over. Maddie only goes in the litter box. It's your dog that keeps making a mess in the house because you don't take him outside when he needs to go.” Winnie rolled her eyes.

“Don't fucking talk back to me! You're lucky your mother lets you stay here, if it was up to me you'd have been kicked out of here a long time ago.” Brain snapped, making Winnie flinch a little at his tone. “Now make sure the trash is taken out before I get back.” He said before stomping out the front door and slamming it behind him. Winnie flinched once again at the loud sound before letting out a sigh and pulling the trash out of the can despite the fact that she distinctly remembered her mother telling Brian to take it out this morning.

Winnie took out the trash before coming back inside heading back to her room. Her eyes scanned over her laptop as Maddie crawled out from under the bed. She walked back over and opened the device, logging herself on before attempting to open her game back up.

[Character not found.]

Winnie groaned before filling out a bug report and then putting her computer up. She needed to get ready and go to work anyway.

~•~•~•~•~•~•~

A few days had passed and nothing seemed to work. Winnie had disabled and deleted all the mods, sent in about a dozen but reports and still nothing. The only thing left she could try now was uninstalling the game and then reinstalling it.

Winnie sat on the bed waiting patiently for the game to download though she knew it would at least take an hour. She pulled out her cellphone, noticing a text from her mother. The message was informing Winnie that Brian and her mom wouldn't be home until late tonight. At least this meant she'd have plenty of peace and quiet in the meantime. The young woman spread out on her bed, stretching her limbs before slowly closing her eyes, resting lazily.

Time passed as she slowly dozed off…Eventually she was awoken by the sound of beeping? It was some strange noise that she couldn't quite put her finger on. She quickly looked over to her laptop and her eyes widened as she noticed it seemed to be going crazy. Blinking and beeping.

“What the fuck!?” She exclaimed, grasping her computer and frantically clicking the mousepad.

Then the screen went black before seemingly returning to the home screen. However, everything on the computer was gone save for one shortcut. Baldur's Gate 3.

The game’s shortcut sat in the very center of the computer, practically screaming at Winnie to click on it. She clicked it and the game opened up.

Everything seemed to go as normal up until the title screen. Winnie’s eyes widened in shock as she noticed all of the menu options were gone aside from (New Game). She raised an eyebrow before clicking on the only option available and waiting as the opening cinematic played. Everything continued as it usually did. Winnie created her Tav, a human druid with an urchin background, then proceeded to hop into the game.

Winnie did a bit of a speed run, moving through the Nautiloid as quickly as she could. She recruited Us, Lae'zel and freed Shadowheart before reaching the helm and crashing the ship.

Upon reaching the ravaged beach was when things began to get strange.

The game buffered and blinked a bit, skipping the scene where Tav would check themselves out followed by some voiced narration. Tav was kinda just there on the beach.

“Oh God. The game is glitching….” Winnie whined. She sighed in annoyance before clicking on the ground where she wanted Tav to walk. Winnie REALLY did not feel like uninstalling the game and waiting another hour to try again so she decided she'd play for as long as the game would allow. Winnie had Tav wander over towards where Shadowheart would normally be laying after crash, only to find an empty space where the half elf should be. Winnie groaned assuming it was another glitch before continuing on along the beach. While most things were there like the dead bodies and the intellect devourer enemies, Winnie did not see any sign of Shadowheart at all. Not even near the ruins where she'd be if she wasn't rescued by the player. Winnie decided to quickly go and look for the other characters, sneaking her way past the little brain creatures and moving down the path where Astarion, the elven rogue companion, would be waiting to ambush the player. He was Winnie’s favorite. She had a soft spot for sassy morally grey characters with tragic backstories. And he was also secretly a vampire to boot which just added to the appeal. Winnie had her Tav approach the area before she let out a sigh of relief seeing as the vampiric elf was in his starting area shouting for help like normal. At least the game wasn't completely broken.

“Hurry I've got one of those brain things cornered.” Astarion’s dialogue began as soon as Tav got close enough to interact with him. “There in the grass, you can kill it can't you? Like you killed the others?”

“Uh….I kinda actually didn't kill any of them…Heheh.” Winnie chuckled before dragging her mouse over the dialogue choices.

1. [Easily, stand back.]

2. Kill it yourself. You seem capable.

3. Leave

Winnie clicked on choice 1 before her Tav walked over to check the tall grass for the intellect devourer that was actually non-existent.

Instead a wild boar leapt from the grass and made Tav jump in surprise, giving Astarion the perfect opportunity to strike. He pinned the druid to the ground, pressing a dagger to her neck.

“Shhh…Shhh….Not a sound…Not if you want to keep that darling neck of yours.” The vampire practically purred out. Winnie blushed, a shiver going down her spine. There was a reason she always found herself choosing the elven vampire as her character’s love interest. Initially when she first got the game she felt he came off as a pompous prick (which he is) but damn he was so fucking seductive. It drove Winnie absolutely mad. Not to mention it helped given he had sweet delicious character development later on in his story and actually could be kind of a sweetheart… To the player at least.

The romance in this game had to be Winnie’s favorite aspect of it. She was very romantically inexperienced to say the least and this just added to what made the game her perfect escape from reality. It made her feel like someone actually liked her. Winnie prepared to select the next dialogue choice when suddenly she noticed they had changed.

1. [……….]

2. ………..

3. ……….

4. ……….

She looked up and saw a smirk form on Astarion's lips, his eyes appeared as if he was staring back at Winnie from through the screen. Before she could speak Astarion slit Tav's throat and let them drop onto the ground.

“What. The. Fuck.” The brunette haired female went pale as she stared at her computer screen. Astarion sighed in what sounded like relief?

“Finally, we've done that old song and dance so many times! The novelty has completely worn off.” He stretched out his arms, before wiping his dagger on the ground. “It feels so invigorating to try something new, wouldn't you agree?”

“Uhh…..What's going on?” Winnie asked aloud. She was shaking a bit in both confusion and a little fear. Her character was kinda just laying on the ground dead…and Astarion was talking….to her!?

“Oh dear, it seems I've gone and frightened you. Ahaha!” Astarion chuckled before appearing to move closer to the screen, even going so far to place his hand on it…

“Hello darling…”

It's interesting how Nesta had to apologise for something she wasn't even in the wrong of doing while Rhys, who overreacted by threatening to kill her (for a mistake he made) and chasing her out of the city, did not have to. Especially, after it was canonically established by Feyre herself that he did not have the right to do that..

And for someone who claims to write about badass female mcs who crush patriarchy and choose the course of their own lives, shouldn't an apology scene for something in which a female's right to information on her own body was undermined be a fundamental part of the book?

I mean, she could add a bonus chapter about the characters in question fucking to make babies but had to keep the apology off-page? Weird.

The only somewhat sufferable part of the book was the scenes with the Valkyries and the smut (if you ignore the poor timing).

I don't know if it's my eldest daughter syndrome acting up but I feel strongly about this.

I agree completely. I won't deny that Nesta has some things to apologies for, but so does Rhysand, and Feyre and Mor. I'd even argue that the things the IC put her through negate the need for her to apologies, or at least makes it a little less urgent/important than the apologies she's owed. This is mostly due to the fact that Nesta's so-called crimes amount to a bad attitude (most on page examples of which are pretty understandable to me), and issues she had with Feyre in childhood. Meanwhile, the IC's actions are immature and ignorant at best, and extremely abusive at worst.

Honestly, I don't think any of them, much less Rhysand, see what they did as a mistake. If any of them did, they wouldn't have made her walk through those woods. Feyre would've demanded Nesta be brought back otherwise, but she didn't.

As for Rhysand, honestly the part where he hugged Nesta gave me ick. Especially when Nesta said he'd been acting like a brother the whole time because he hadn't. He abused her. He broke her down. He only showed any semblance of decency (even then it wasn't much) when she did something to benefit him.

Offering pity jobs for somebody else's sake without taking into account Nesta's strengths or passions into account isn't what a brother, or anybody who cares for her, would do. Staring at her like a circus attraction when she enters the room isn't something a brother would do. Forcing her to social events just to ignore her isn't something a brother would do. Financially abusing her, refusing to give her a salary for her work during the war, along with her inheritance, is not something a brother would do. Not caring for her wellbeing beyond how her sister feel's is not something a brother could do. I could go on.

I think, at the end of the day, this amounts to a simple fact. SJM clearly doesn't see anything wrong with the things she writes and narrative she creates. No matter how you argue that ACOSF is a healing story, not a redemption story, it doesn't matter. Through analysing the sext, the author clearly shows how she feels about Nesta. Looking at what she says about the book, the author clearly has little understanding of mental health, and hasn't done enough research on it to be able to write a healing arc that isn't straight up abuse/torture (seriously, the bar is in the crust of the earth).

ACOSF could've been the best book in the series. All of the material, the concepts, the potential was there. Nesta's story was set up in ACOFS, and perhaps I wouldn't have minded the actions of the IC as much (from a literary perspective anyway) if they had been acknowledged as wrong and the IC apologised. I don't think anyone would've minded the locked in the HOW plot either, if, at some point, the characters acknowledge how abusive it was. If the narrative itself acknowledged how messed up it was, and did something about it.

If Cassian apologised for abandoning her after the war, Cassian especially. If Feyre apologised for not trying to reach out in a way that Nesta was comfortable with. If Elain apologised for not being there for Nesta the way Nesta was for her. If Mor apologised for, intentionally or not, isolating Nesta from the rest of the court. If Amren apologised for her comments. If Rhys apologised for sticking his nose where it didn't belong.

Rhys apologising for the hike, or threatening to kill her would mean nothing because both he and the narrative don't see anything wrong with his treatment of her. If he did, then the forced training/library/stuck in the how part would've ended half way through the book.

The part that infuriates me the most, however, is that they don't see their wrong doings at all. They still think they're doing the right thing and that they know everything. It's messed up.

#anti acosf #anti ic #anti inner circle #nesta deserves better #anti amren #anti mor #anti rhysand #pro nesta archeron #pro nesta

MC isn't a sheep!!

So we're not an actual sheep. Thankfully. Imagine if MC returned to the human world and the brothers missed them so much they decided to pay them a visit only to see us in human form and be like ??? Who the fk are you?

It'd be a good time for MC to hit them with a 'ur mum' joke.

But seriously I'd be super self conscious if we did get transformed into a sheep and eventually they all saw what we look like in human form because like I'm assuming beauty standards are fricking insane in Devildom especially because people don't grow old there so... Yh no.

On the other hand imagine them loving all the little imperfections of human Mc. Like what are these little lines on your body? They're called stretch marks? Can I trace them with my finger?? You have wrinkles, scars, acne scars, discoloured skin, etc? Please may I kiss them?? You have fat? CUDDLES. Feel like your nose is not normal?(i.e. flat, wonky, too long) well they'd probably love to pinch it playfully with their thumb and index finger. Beauty spots/moles in places you don't want them? They likely won't be able to stop staring in awe. May even try kiss or brush it with their finger. Mc has a mustache or a monobrow? Guess what? More kisses that's what. You still look like a hot badass bitch. Any insecurities you have, they'll express how much it does not bother them but they will try understand why you're feeling the way you do about them and hopefully try get you to see you the way they do (and let's be honest they're simping hard for you. Literally if anyone asked them their type, it's you, just you.)

Anyways, this is not where I was expecting this post to go. I was literally just going to leave it at 'your mum' but suddenly this just came out of me?? Maybe I'm just feeling like I need some love from them.

P.s. I edited out my username and put name instead so you can insert yours. It can be kinda confusing sometimes when you see someone else's MC name and not your own and sometimes (for me anyways) I feel like it's not really referring to my own MC so I wanted to make sure that to some extent this post feels like it's for you, especially if you feel like you need someone to show you some love if you have any insecurities.

THE OBEY ME BROTHERS WITH A MC WHO'S A PROFESSIONAL ASSASSIN

(I was able to recover up to Satan, the other three brothers are all new)

Lucifer:

When your resume said that you were a professional assassin he thought you would be intimidating, cold and serious.

He quickly realized he had thought wrong, as when you came all he saw was a noisy person who couldn't keep their nose on their own business.

He honestly thought he may have read the wrong paper, or that the wrong human had been called.

Lucifer also underestimated you, yes, you may be dangerous, but how dangerous could you possibly be against a demon?

This question would be answered, just as Belphegor's hands tried and reached around your neck.

In a quick, instinctive movement you were able to throw him on the floor. Even with his demon strenght, he was no match against your defense skills (although you later admit that the shocked you sent him into probably helped)

After that, Lucifer wouldn't worry as much to leave you out of sight, but to raise his ego, let him protect you!

Mammon:

Absolutely refused to believe a human could be so dangerous.

Yeah, humans were known to kill eachother, but c'mon, you totally didn't look the part!

Not only you didn't look like one, you also didn't act like one.

He would see the extent of your abilities when his usual troubles followed him on your date.

A quite terrifying which was in front of Mammon, quite angered and ready to strike-

Mammon was about to show off, after all, he wanted to impress his human!

But you didn't give him a chance, a quick punch to the nose and the witch fell to the floor unconscious.

He is literally speechless, he only snaps out of it when you hold his hand worried, then the biggest grin you've ever seen forms on his face, and he declares you the most badass human!

WILL use you to intimidate all who bother him, you're now Mammon's personal bodyguard.

Leviathan:

Your strenght and abilities as an assassin would be quickly discovered.

TSL competition, you know how it goes, in a fit of jealously and rage, Leviathan goes to deal a fatal blow.

Too bad, he didn't consider the fact that you wouldn't retreat and instead, would run torwards him.

A moment of shock was all it took for you to grab him by his pseudojacket, and throw him in the air.

While he was there, he thought "What?!, how does a human have so much strenght?! That shouldn't be able to happen!"

Once he reached the floor (which didn't took that long) his shocked was subdued, filled by a deep feeling of shame, how could he just loose to a human in front of his brothers AND Diavolo?!

Goes straight to his room, it will take a while for him to soften up, but once he does, he will compliment you always. Expect a lot of questions about your job (and Leviathan infodumping about fictional assassins)

Satan:

He prides himself in always being logical, though, he makes an exception with your work.

Can't wrap his head around you hurting someone, even less killing them.

Of course, this was before that little incident of you refusing to make a pact with him.

Full of rage at your response, he spew a bunch of hurtful words and threats.

Threats that made something click inside of you.

The moment he went to grab your arm, a quick maneuver changed your positions, now, he found himself facing one of his bookshelves, taste of paper in his mouth because of the brute force of your movements.

After the shock, he saw red, thankfully Lucifer came in and the body swap happened.

Once the whole body swap deal is over, he is extremely interested in your work and has many questions.

How did you get started? For what reasons? Similar to Leviathan, he show you his favorite book assassins and asks if their portrayals are accurate.

Asmodeous:

He was actually interested in knowing your lore and about how you became an assassin, mostly because he likes gossip.

He also wanted to know how strong you were, and see how your muscles bulged.

Thankfully for him the opportunity to see your strenght in action would arrive soon.

You both were on a date, buying cute clothes for eachother to show off on Devilgram when all of sudden a few fans of Asmo come in and spot him.

At first, it all seems fine. They ask to take some pictures and start chatting with him.

But this is your date, and as so, Asmodeous politely excuses himself.

The fans leave except one insistent demon, who grabs Asmo's tightly.

Before he could say anything however, you grabbed the demons arm, twisted it and pushed him to the floor, putting all of your weight onto him.

After the whole ordeal was done, he hugged you tightly and fangirled severely.

You're gonna become a bodyguard for two now!

Beelzebub:

It all started with food, as it tends to do with Beelzebub.

Sadly for everyone in the house, he woke up cranky and on top of that, someone dared to eat his food.

As he searched for the culprit, which he quickly found (Mammon) he was ready to blow up on him.

But you got in the way, you tried to calm Beelzebub, but there was not calming the beast once it was bothered.

As he went to put his hand on your shoulder to make himself way to Mammon, you grabbed his arm with all your strenght, pushed him backwards, then slid that arm upon his back and pushed him once again this time on the floor.

This seemed to make him regain his senses a little bit, while making everybody watching you absolutely shocked.

Lucifer quickly went to the living room, where everything was happening and harshly reprimended both you and Beel, while stringing Mammon to the ceiling.

Once you make a pact with Beelzebub, he asks what type of training you do, and if you ever need help with anything.

You both become training buddies. Of course, he is still way stronger than you, but that doesn't mean you can't try and do your best to become stronger.

Belphegor:

The attic. That's where you were going to discover what had happened and how Belphie had been able to get out with just 6 pacts.

You found the door of the room to be open, and once you entered, an oppressive force could be felt all through the room.

You wait, and you hear a step, you feel it all around your body, someone is stalking you.

He jumps at you, going straight for your neck. But you're fast, so you move right in time for him to fall in front of you.

Quickly, you kick him hard in the guts, and as he bends over in pain, you punch him straight in the face, making him fall over.

He didn't have time to regain his strenght, just as he was to attack again, Lucifer and the others ran upstairs to see what was all the ruckus.

When the whole deal about Lilith is said and done, you apologize to him. Which felt strange, as he felt as if he should be the one apologizing, werent for your quick reflexes you would be dead.

English is not my first language, so please excuse me for any mistakes I may have made!

PROPAGANDA

Katara Propaganda

"She's smart. She's powerful. She an eco-terrorist. She's got the ability to grow as a person. She's a victim of misogynistic fans who codify her as an annoying bitch (sadly not affectionate) cause she's the "mom character." And that's all she will ever be is "The mom character." She bested Azula and could blood bend your ass but won't cause she's chosen not to be a monster! But she's the annoying mom instead."

"if i have to hear ONE MORE *touches necklace* joke i’m gonna mcfreaking lose it"

"despite being one of the most well-written feminist characters of children’s TV, the fandom decides to define her based on her very realistic 14-year-old girl flaws. Ignoring her complex independent arcs and motivations, people love justifying their hatred towards her based on her one line directed at Sokka that he didn’t love his mother as much as she did. Which, if we’re being nitpicky, isn’t so harsh given that it was Katara who shouldered most of the burden of her death, as well as Sokka’s admittance that he doesn’t even remember his mother. Not to mention that ALL the characters make selfish mistakes given the fact that they’re all aged 12-15??? (Aang hiding Katara and Sokka’s father’s letter, anyone???) She really is an elegant breakthrough of the typical female character molds of “girl who is badass” and “girl with a crush on the mc who sits on the sidelines” and it’s so frustrating to see her get the most hate out of the Gaang"

Yukari Propaganda

"YUKARI PROPAGANDA: SHE IS LITERALLY SO CORRECT ABOUT EVERYTHING. People call her a bitch for uhh [checks notes] having a a brief freak out after she's shown live footage of her father's gruesome death? For [checks notes] accusing Mitsuru of lying to them about important information (which turned out to be COMPLETELY TRUE, by the way, but fans still mock her for this)? For [checks notes one last time] being mean to Junpei, who gives as good as he gets with rude and sometimes sexist comments in response? And even then, several times she apologizes or reassures him that she was just kidding when he seems genuinely upset by her words, so it's not like she isn't compassionate towards him. She is also routinely mocked and villainized for (huge spoilers) wanting to risk it all to attempt to save the protagonist after he passes away saving the world. To be fair, this turns out to have been the wrong choice, but let's be real -- she was a grieving teenager trying to save her friend slash crush. Yes, she was emotionally all over the place during The Answer. Of course she was! THE WORLD ALMOST ENDED AND HER FIRST LOVE HAD TO DIE TO SAVE EVERYONE. LIKE, THAT JUST HAPPENED TO HER. And everyone somehow just expects her to behave perfectly rationally when she's a 17 year old girl who just lost someone important to her and also almost died with the rest of humanity. Girl is traumatized and grieving and all people can do is call her a hysterical bitch or whatever other shit they wanna come up with." (by @ragecndybars)

"she's NOT a bitch she has a hard time opening up to people + she's a 17 year old dealing with grief after one of those people dies leave her alone!!"

A very suspicious little pattern

Call me crazy, but I’ve gotten through two very popular book series and one tv show adaptation (and a friend who read the books of that adaption) and I’ve noticed a little something.

Each series includes a scorn love interest of the badass mc who, if already isn’t abusive to her, does:

kill one of her (could be found) family members

Chase her through all the lands

ignore her demands to leave her the fuck alone or that she has no interest in him anymore

put her through general hell

hurt her or her (found) family members a lot

and yet some how, by the end of the book series, a lot of fans love this very toxic man despite all listed above. They usually list this as their reasons:

he’s conventionally attractive

he’s said that he did it all out of protection of the mc

he has trauma

I don’t get it. Yes someone can have trauma and want to protect someone, but when the want to protect trumps the respect he has for the mc as a person who can make her own decisions; that’s not love. Trauma does not excuse his (usually murderous) actions. Especially when he’s inflicting trauma on the mc and all her friends as well.

I want to know why these fandoms romanticize toxic, borderline abusive men who won’t take no for an answer from someone they supposedly love.

please don’t start a war in the replies; I just genuinely want to know 🥲

The Crash- B.B Part 4

I finally bestow upon you an update.

This took me awhile to figure out how I was going to write this continuing from part 3

You can find parts 1-3 HERE

Hopefully this turns out well.

Warnings: Goose being a good dad, Mav being a terrible father, really emotional reunions, A CONFESSION OF FEELINGS FROM SOMEONE?? WHAT?! (hehehehehe), Tenseness (i think that’s the word to use) between Rooster and MC, and as usual….cursing.

Enjoy my friends!!

Taglist: @fandom-life-12 @hotch-meeeeeuppppp

My foot tapped against the ground as I sat in the restaurant waiting by myself. Nat said they’d be here at 1 but it’s now 1:15. I was getting worried that they wouldn’t show or I had gotten the wrong time. The waiter had come up to offer me water 10 minutes ago and I felt awkward sitting alone.

I hadn’t seen Natasha or Bob since the day of the mission. Being my two best friends, I was anxious to see them again. What would they say? How would they react? What do they all know?

Just then I catch the reflection of the sun in Bob’s glasses, signaling they had arrived. 20 minutes late at that.

Natasha immediately ran over, making me jump from my chair to hug her. “Oh my god you are real.” Her voice was teary, yet full of joy. “Oh how you’ve changed. Look at you! Hangman has to be so happy you’re back.”

“About that-“

“About what?” Her eyes narrowed into a glare. “You guys are still together right?”

I grimaced, “No, I broke up with him. He expected everything to be fine when he saw I was alive but he let them bury an empty casket, you all did. I can forgive some but not all of you.”

“What about me?” Bob’s small voice appeared over Nat’s shoulder.

“Oh, sweet Bob!” I went in to hug him and noticed his eyes were red and puffy. He’d already been crying. Maybe that’s what causes the delayed arrival? “I missed you!” When I backed out of his arms I rubbed his shoulder, almost as a comfort to his tear stricken eyes.

“I missed you so much.” He smiled at me as he looked at Nat.

Lunch went smoothly, I caught them both up on everything that had happened, including Goose being alive, who Goose was, how Bradley and I are doing and all the inbetween.

“Wait, so you’re telling me your uncle who died back in the 80’s is still alive and has been living on his own hidden in the woods? That’s badass.” Nat was the one who was responding the most to my questions. Bob seemed quieter than normal. Usually when the three of us were together he’d open up and become more vocal, engaging in conversation.

“Yeah, and he took me with him to find you guys. We traveled for a year across the world to get back here. It was crazy but he’s become like a father to me.”

“What about Bradley now that you’re living with him?” I saw Bob tense up at this question, pushing his glasses up and clearing his throat.

“Well, I try to avoid him at all costs. Still as annoying as ever.”

Natasha shook her head. “That’s a shame really. I’ve always hoped you guys would get along.” Bob nudged Nat and she shot him a look.

“Anyways-“ just then the waiter brought the bill, “it’s been crazy trying to adjust. Between living with Goose and Bradley, Hangman and my dad trying to call and text me 24/7 and being back here; it’s been a roller coaster.”

Natasha quickly snagged the check and paid for all of us, despite Bob and I’s complaints. “Thank you for lunch Nat.” Bob’s first words since we hugged. His voice sounded almost unfamiliar when he spoke.

“Our best friend is back, of course I had to buy.” She shot me a smile. “We should get going though- oh hold on I gotta take this.” Her phone rang as she stepped out, leaving Bob and I alone.

“Are you really not living with your dad?”

Bobs question hung in the air for a second. It took me a moment to register that he was talking to me. “Uh, yeah. I’m really living with Goose. He’s been so generous with letting me stay with him until I’m ready to face my dad. You should meet him.”

Natasha came back in with a sad look. “Hey I got called in to work. Is there anyway you could take Bob home?” She looked at me apologetically.

“Absolutely it’s no problem at all. Come on Bob, let’s go.”

In the car, Bob was pretty silent until we turned onto his street. “Actually,” he spoke up, making me jump slightly, “sorry, I was wondering if we could go to yours? I actually do want to meet Goose.”

“That’s no problem, I’m glad. I could use some more Bob time.”

I turned around in a driveway and headed to the direction of the house Goose was letting me stay in. Pulling into the driveway, I could tell both men were home. “This is it.”

Bob and I got out and walked to the front door, and in perfect dad-like fashion, Goose opened the door before we could. “Who’s this?”

“Goose, this is Bob. We’ve flown together before. He was in the Uranium Mission.” Bob gave a small wave.

“It’s wonderful to meet you sir! She’s told me a lot about you!” His hand shot out for a handshake, but Goose’s face was stern. Bob started to back down until Goose’s mouth curved into a smile and rapidly shook Bob’s hand.

“I’m just teasing ya kid, it’s good to finally meet ya!” Bob let out a small laugh before following me in and up the stairs to my room.

“Your room is huge. My duplex on base is the size of this.”

I laughed in response, “I just got lucky that Goose claimed Brad and I. I’m not sure how that all worked considering we aren’t dependents, but somehow he scored this beautiful house. Oh! And look at my view!!” I walked to my far wall and opened the curtains to reveal a perfect view of the beach. The afternoon sun quickly warmed my room as if shone in through the panes.

“Woah, that’s gorgeous. Do you sit here and just stare?”

“I do, often. I missed it here Bob, this is my home. I grew up here. Plus, people watching is kind of fun when you can see so perfectly.” I laughed a little before turning to Bob. He seemed out of it, staring at me in a daze. “Bob, you okay-“

Before I could finish, Bob leaned in and kissed me. It was the most awkward kiss ever, but it caused my cheeks to rouge. “Bob?”

“I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have listened to Natasha! She told me to just go for it and I told her I couldn’t because you’re still new to being back and I didn’t want to scare you or ruin our friendship. Im so sorry. I don’t know how to do all these feelings and emotions, Im just-“

“Bob.”

“I can’t apologize enough, I asked her for advice about this and I should’ve known what she’d say-“

“Bob!” His attention finally snapped to me and he was about to mutter an apology when I spoke up. “Don’t apologize. It was cute. You’re sweet Bob, I just don’t know if Im ready for something.” He looked down at his shoes. “But, a little word of advice. Usually going in for a random kiss isn’t the way to ask a lady out.”

He took a deep breath and looked back up at me. “Would you like to go on a date with me? No weird kissing this time.”

I smiled as I let out a laugh. “I would enjoy that.”

His shoulders dropped at my answer. “We can go as slow as you want- not like that! I mean, like you and I together, or- I mean-“

“I know what you mean Bob, it’s fine.” I couldn’t help but chuckle at it all. Bob was always a bit nervous around people, even those he was comfortable with. I reached out for his hand and held it, looking up at him. “I already said yes, you don’t have to say anything else.” His other hand grabbed mine, both of our hands intertwined when Bradley busted through the door.

“Hey Y/N- Bob? What’s going on- never mind I don’t want to know.”

“What do you want Bradshaw?” Bob jumped at my sudden change in tone.

“I was gonna ask if you wanted anything, I’m going out to pick up McDonalds for dad and I. I guess that goes for you too Bob.”

“Why are you being so nice?” I didn’t say it with malice but pure curiosity.

“He told me to come ask you.”

“Figures, I’m okay, we just came back from lunch but thanks Brad.” He smiled and nodded before leaving Bob and I laughing.

After I had driven Bob home, I had found myself on the back porch. Not doing anything in particular, just watching the sun go down. I heard the back patio door open and I turned around to find Goose coming to sit next to me. “Hey kid, whatcha doing?”

“Just watching the sunset. What brings you out here?” It was then I noticed he had a paper bag in his hand.

“I had Bradley run out again to get you dinner. I hope it’s okay.” I smiled as I opened the bag to see McDonalds chicken nuggets.

“Thanks Goose. I didn’t even realize I hadn’t eaten dinner.” He took them out as I started to pop them in my mouth one by one. “Hey, thanks again for everything. I wouldn’t be where I am now if it weren’t for you. You’re everything to me right now. You’ve done so much for me, more than my own father.”

“Y/N, I remember when your dad called me and said you were coming out early. The way Carol and I rushed to that emergency room should’ve been illegal.” He laughed. “I would do anything for you as if you were my own. It’s what your dad did for Brad, so I feel like I have to not only return the favor, but you’ve grown on me kid. You and I faces the world together, literally.”

“I appreciate you, I love ya Goose.” I leaned into his shoulder as he wrapped his arm around me for a side hug.

“I’m always here kiddo, just say the word.”

We stayed there for a moment, basking in the present. We had went from near death in the middle of enemy territory to now living back home. We were a team, and I was so thankful for him. He was the reason I made it back home, but mostly the reason I was alive.

Without him, I wouldn’t have been able to see the San Diego sunsets or bask in the warm salt water of California. I wouldn’t have been able to see my friends again or have Penny serve me up a drink at the Hard Deck.

I owe him everything.

That night, I was in my room getting ready for bed when a knock came upon my door. “Come in!” What I was not expecting was Bradley to not only come through the door, but close it and lock it behind him. “What are you doing?”

“What was that with Bob earlier?”

“None of your business.” I continued what I was doing, hoping he’d just go away if I ignored him.

He persisted. “Tell me. Are you and Bob together?”

“Again Brad, it’s none of your business.” I rolled my eyes as I turned around to go lay down.

“I’m gonna ask you one more time, what was that?” As I turned around, Bradley was face to face with me, the wall mere inches behind me. He had closed me in again.

“I should really be asking you what happened in the kitchen 2 days ago. What was th-“

In a blink of an eye, one of his hands was next to my head on the wall, the other wrapped around my throat. “Did he kiss you?”

“What?!”

“I said, did he kiss you?”

“That’s none of your-!”

“Answer the question, yes or no?”

Whatever was happening was very unlike Bradley. He was scaring me to be honest, but part of me couldn’t help but to let my eyes go down his face to his lips. I don’t know what was coming over me.

“He did but I’m not sure what that has to do with any-“

“Don’t let it happen again.”

With that he was off of me and out the door before I could even say anything more about the subject.

If I wasn’t confused in the kitchen, I am confused now.

What was up with him?

You know, the narrative plus the fandom sure loves to single out Izu in any way possible. The last ask was about Shig and how his "I want afo" makes no sense.

Can I say what else makes no sense? What was Shig's plan for Overhaul?

"Kill him" yeah sure but that is a goal and technically ...he didnt kill Overhaul.

Not saying Shig should have broke the fouth and said "hey reader here my plan" but like what was the plan?

1) did Shig knew about the raid before happening? Aoyama couldn't know as Izu kept tight lips as the others

2) and even if he knew...so what? The place is crowed with heroes. He could have been captured or LoV could have too.

3) whatever the initial plan was ...it was gone. Thanks to Izu...Shig menages to enact revenge thanks to Izu...

On the third part is what calls my attention bc while Shig stans praise this scene as Shig being a badass villain...I don't think this would have happened without Izu and no credit or aknowldge is give to him.

"You want people to assiciate murder to izu?" No. But Shig is fairly smart and I would like him to understand "oh yes if it wasnt for Izu...I wouldnt have got it" that could help his character a lot. Hell, why not estabilish a connection with Izu? They do have tons of paralels (fandom chose to ignore or downplays it)

Fandom and narrative seems to ignore Izu's pain and contribution in the story.

Shig has cool scenes sure but no depth. Nothing.

On the other side of the coin, Izu has so few cool scenes. He is the mc. Where is the power up? Where is the mentor? Where are the villains reconizing Izu is a big deal? Where are the friends?

Mt kaachan academy.

Anyway. To conclude: Izu and Shig team up accidentally and its still miles and miles and miles away better than bk and Izu teaming up. Think that for a moment, the villain can work better with Izu(even if accidentally) than bk who is stuck and leeching on Izu's narrative.

You bring up some valid points, and it's clear that the narrative and fandom can be quite dismissive of Izuku. Shigaraki's plan for Overhaul is indeed a bit enigmatic, and I've wondered about that myself.

It's true that the goal was to "kill him," but as you pointed out, Shigaraki didn't actually succeed in doing so. The lack of detailed information about the plan is something that's been on my mind too. The questions you raise about whether Shigaraki knew about the raid in advance and the risks involved are important. Izuku's role in disrupting the plan and enabling Shigaraki's revenge is noteworthy, and it often seems to go underappreciated.

I don't think it's about associating murder with Izuku, but rather, recognizing that Shigaraki's success can be attributed, in part, to Izuku's involvement. The two of them are parallels and two sides of the same coin so it's interesting that their actions are so opposite yet end up coinciding. It would have been nice to see more of this.

Your point about the narrative sidelining Izuku and his contributions is a valid one. Obviously, it's one of my biggest gripes with the series.

Shigaraki does have a lot of great moments in the series, but he ends up coming off as shallow a lot of the time. it's like Hori is scared to go all the way with him.

I agree, Izuku's character could use recognition from the villains. Missed opportunity to have villains (maybe not the LOV, but someone) try to convince him that he deserves retribution for what society put him through. I still stand by that it's weird that Bakugou was the one kidnapped. He might have anger issues, but he's the kind of arrogant, entitled hero that the LOV should hate.

In the end, the accidental team-up between Izuku and Shigaraki does offer an interesting dynamic, and I can see how it can be more engaging than the dynamic with Bakugou. It's all part of the complex web of character interactions in MHA.

Not enough love for Fleur 😔

"You're like a hidden, final boss from a video game. Challenging, cool, and unexpected."

MC comparing Fleur to their favorite game boss they've been tirelessly researching on how to beat after she did something amazing/badass in MC's eyes.

*Looks at the solo RO asks and prompts being 90% Fleur*

... Yeah, I dunno what you mean when you say that Fleur is not having enough love on this blog.

~•~•~

Straight hair, straight A's Straight forward, straight girl Little Miss Perfect, that's me

– Little Miss Perfect - Taylor Louderman & Write Out Loud

~•~•~

Man, who knew taking off a pair of glasses would look so... wow.

Sure, the average person would call it as something so "lame" and "boring", Fleur made it look so... cool? The way she took off her glasses so easily and graciously with a smooth flow. How her fingers hold the frame of her glasses in a delicate yet firm manner. Her face is aloof yet holds a certain sense of natural beauty that you can't quite describe.

Her eyes dart over to glance at you, and her face forms a frown.

"What are you doing?" She sharply asks you, her voice surprisingly maintaining its calm softness.

"Just admiring you." You say with a smile.

"I haven't even done anything."

"Well, in my eyes you did something cool."

Fleur simply quirks a brow at you, silently asking to explain further.

"You make taking off your glasses so beautiful." You simply explain, to which Fleur's brows furrow in confusion.

"That's what made you admire me?"

"Amongst other things. You're like some hidden boss from a video game, you know? Challenging, cool, and unexpected." You say with a dramatic flair in the end.

Fleur simply rolls her eyes and shakes her head, putting her reading glasses in its case with a satisfying and quick snap shut. "You're unbelievable."

"It's true though!" You get up from your seat to follow Fleur down the aisle of bookshelves. "You make everything look so mesmerizing, even the mundane."

"You're exaggerating it." Fleur flatly states. "Besides, anyone with glasses can do what I just did."

"Well, anyone isn't someone like you."

That made Fleur falter a bit in her step, eventually stopping before a row of books. All of them are biology books.

There is a pregnant pause for a moment, before Fleur lets out a sigh.

"... I sometimes wonder if you stick around with me because of truly wanting to know me or so you can continue your idealization of what you think of me." She shakes her head, lips pursing. "But either way, you already perceive me as something in your eyes, so it doesn't matter what your motives are for being here."

No Home Prompts/Headcanons

[feel free to use these as inspiration for fanfics or fanart. tag me if you post it!!]

(disclaimer 1: this is prolly very ooc but it's also not supposed to be realistic. disclaimer 2: a lot of these are centered around Haejoon and Eunyung and can be interpreted as /r or /p)

HJ stopping someone from harassing EY, similar to the frying pan scene. [one concrete scenario i have is a teacher/supervisor wanting to cut EY's hair and HJ, who's standing next to him (i imagine all dorm boys lined up for the lights-out roll call), grabs the scissors out of their hand and throws it out the window. HJ: "you should go grab them if you don't want them to rust" so the supervisor goes away. badass HJ (altho he's too much of a model student to spite a teacher like that). EY is confused and in awe. bonus points if there's witnesses who marvel at HJ's badassery and authority defiance.]

all 6 MCs hanging out in the clubroom and HJ does sth cool or impressive (maybe sings out loud and it sounds good). juwan and minju are panicking bc 'holy shit he's so hot i want him carnally' like tearing up, rolling on the floor type craving. marie is watching them freak tf out, completely unimpressed, with an expression like she's on the office. hara is like 'hey man, that sounded really good' like the golden retriever sunshine puppy she is. EY is just staring very intently at him like trying to figure out a puzzle with a faint thought of 'he should join the theater club'. HJ, poor him, is so fucking confused as to why everyone is overreacting and a little embarrassed that he accidentally did that.

minju and juwan craving the 184cm mommy issues ghost guy be like:

^^ this is how i imagine juwan's internal monologue like 98% of the times he interacts with HJ. just constant gay panic.

all the other boys in their dorms who have to listen to HJ and EY's screaming matches all the time. poor fuckers. they all often choke on the tension those two create in the room they're in. but the fighting is basically like free live reality TV prime-time entertainment, so they can't be too bothered (unless they're trying to sleep). and generally, everyone is weirded out/confused by their friendship (?). like 'why is the nice popular pretty guy hanging out with model student bully who sees ghosts, especially when they're always just fighting?' <- #confusion. but it's entertaining so eh ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

HJ helping EY study, maybe forced by a teacher, or from EY's own volition (doubtful), or per juwan's suggestion when EY failed too many exams/classes to keep living in the dorms. i wonder how that tutoring session would go. would probably end bloody.

whenever HJ goes to the grocery store to buy food he also buys a pack of sweets or snacks. every time EY sees them in their room he asks if he can have some. HJ lets him open the pack. EY always asks if he wants some too and HJ almost always says no. after the 6th time this happened, EY confronted him abt it 'why are you buying these if you're not eating them?' and HJ is like 'i buy them for you. i know you like them.' EY is surprised and juwan is happy they're not fighting anymore (but also insanely jealous -> 'when did they get so close? grrrr')

(/r) HJ chilling on the couch in the dorm living-room, reading a book for class and EY comes and wants to lie down but there's no more space so he spreads out on the couch with his legs on HJ's lap, who's a bit like 'wtf' but decides against picking a fight. EY is chilling on his phone in a skirt shorts and with his hair undone. they just chill like that for a while and every poor soul who passes through that room are confused and uneasy abt their lack of fighting. at some point HJ notices the scars on EY's knees and rests his hand (the one not holding the book) on them, then goes back to reading while absent-mindedly rubbing his thumb over the scars. EY is startled and also like 'wtf' but let's it be bc he has crypto to mine.

juwan-marie mlm/wlw solidarity. all 3 boys are not surprised when she comes out as a (disater) lesbian but their reaction is 'oh really? i never would've guessed (/s)'. she comes out to them bc she needs help making hara figure out she likes her in an non-obvious way.

the boys' reaction be like:

marie likes hara, minju likes marie, and hara likes her sport (karate? idr). marie is frustrated at hara's cluelessness, minju is annoyed marie doesn't take her advances seriously, hara is oblivious to the turmoil she's caused. [a scenario i came up with is all 6 in the clubroom where minju just goes full out after shit's been building up for a while like ' why do you like hara and not me? i'm here trying my best and she doesn't even care! how is she so much better than me?' marie is beyond embarrassed and also very done with the bs. she pulls minju outside the clubroom and slaps her in the hallway promptly rejecting her. the other 4 saw everything through the door window and are jaw-dropped-flabbergasted. marie enters again after minju left and everyone asks if she's ok. hara's like 'you like me?' and marie says 'now's not the time for that. don't you have practice or sth?'. after a bit of convincing hara leaves for her lessons and the 3 boys ask marie why she doesn't like minju -> 'she doesn't like me, she just likes the chase. if we were to get together she'd get bored in less than a month and break up with me.' juwan agrees bc he knows minju best and that's something she would absolutely do. marie starts tearing up bc this is overwheming and embarrassing but the boys are there to comfort her. (<- what's even more frustrating in all of this is that marie did like minju in the beginning, before she swindled marie for the clubroom, was disingenuous abt their friendship, and friendzone marie when she told minju that she liked her.) ohh how the turn tables]

^^ this is the dynamic i imagine bc it's hella funny /// @ artist on twt

EY wil fight for kids who can't fight for themselves. if he sees a kid/friend get hit by a parent/authority he won't hesitate to throw hands. he'll step in on the spot and sucker-punch the mfer who put their hands on someone weaker than themselves. [the first time the others see this side of him is when they meet marie's brother, who acts like a massive asshole and stupidly smacks marie in front of them. HJ is ready to say sth/jump in but EY is half a second quicker and already gave the bitch a bloody nose. and he fights with the rage he'd fight his dad with, if he ever dared to do that. like a demon possessed, not anywhere near the way he's ever fought HJ before. marie's crying and begging him to stop hitting her brother, HJ and juwan are frozen in shock. juwan wants to try to calm him down but is too scared to approach him when he's like that. meanwhile HJ is just like 'holy shit, this mfer is actually crazy' and goes to pull EY off of marie's brother bc he got too close to killing him. after that everyone is more wary of him in general, marie is somewhat grateful but also terrified of him. from then on the brother either never hits her again or gathers a group of friends to go beat up a blond high school kid.]

i think it would be interesting to see the bullies who forced EY to crawl two stations to get his money back resurface. that group of bullies bumping into our 3 boys and going like 'whoa, EY? is that you? how're your knees doing?' and laughing. juwan is confused as to what they're talking about, HJ immediately knows who the fuckers are bc he knows the knee story, and EY is trying to ignore them with a poker face but really he's terrified inside bc trauma™. HJ has never seen EY so affected/blank/scared/distraught and is concerned. trouble ensues, bonus points if HJ saves the day (aka beats the fuckers up) and bonus bonus points if he doesn't tell EY abt it and does it in secret.

^^ no thought's behind those eyes. only misery and trauma

juwan and HJ gift EY clothes every time they have an excuse like 'oh you passed that exam? nice here is a new pair of jeans' or 'it's Christmas, this is a jacket for you'. bc my boy needs more than one piece of everything. he needs more clothes and his friends noticed and are now providing. they need to have an excuse/good reason to gift the items to EY bc he will not accept them otherwise (he refuses to be indebted to anyone).

whenever EY catches HJ changing clothes in their room, he feels really guilty when he sees the scar he gave him when they first met. every time, he wants to apologize but he doesn't know how to make it sound genuine, and the apology always catches in his throat anyway. he can't say it out loud, so he quickly makes it a habit to leave the room when HJ changes.

idk man, i just wanna see HJ help EY braid his hair. and EY be surprised by how well he can braid or make fun of him for how bad he is at it. [maybe a hand/arm injury that prevents him from braiding his hair himself and he doesn't want to leave the dorm looking like that before he can get to a girl-friend who could do his hair for him.]

EY goes with HJ to provide moral support when HJ has to go back to his old house to pick sth up or when HJ goes to visit his mom's grave (only 52% willingly). [(/r ->) at the house, HJ would definitely have a mental breakdown and EY would be there to unintentionally aggravate the situation, then mend it and comfort him. EY is also terrified of all the ghost items inside that house when he first enters. HJ is a tad happy to see some old faces (<- the ghosts who live/haunt his house). /// at the graveyard, HJ would try his best not to cry, EY would notice and leave him alone for a bit to mourn. when he's done, before they leave, EY looks intently at the mom's grave stone and nods his head once. maybe it's a salute to the mom, or a 'thank you for raising him well', but in any case, that's the first time we see EY use manners. HJ doesn't notice it bc he's busy with his own feelings.]

parallel to that, juwan and HJ come pick EY up from (aka get him out of) his parent's apartment. the parent's are astounded anyone came for their 'good-for-nothing' son. before the boys leave the apartment building's courtyard, EY's mom comes running up to them. HJ and juwan are in defense/protection mode, EY is just so tired and so done with everything he doesn't feel present anymore. the mom doesn't get any closer, she just looks HJ in the eyes and thanks him for looking out for her son. then she turns to EY and says 'don't fuck this up like everything else in your life' and goes back to the apartment. all of them are shocked by the unexpected good nature she's shown and EY is also a bit upset by her comment about his life but he's too tired to give a shit atm.

when EY finally gets back into acting, HJ helps him learn his lines when he has the time. after his first play, HJ is there to give him flowers and tell him how good his acting was. (/r -> this may or may not be the moment EY really (realizes he) caught feelings) also HJ was gen amazed at how good his acting skills are, like wide-eyed 'wow he's actually really really good'.

(/r) i want EY to wear a skirt as a dare or sth and fluster the shit out of HJ (and any other eyes that catch him in that outfit). EY would tease him for blushing so hard and feel powerful bc of the reaction he's got, until HJ grabs him (one hand on a shoulder and one hand on his waist) and pulls him so he can whisper in his ear 'stop that'. the tables turn. EY pushes away like he's been burned, which might be true, seeing how he got so red one would think he's been sunburned.

(/r) idk if it's canon but i for some reason think HJ has weights in their room. so, EY always stares at HJ from his top bunk bed (where HJ can't see him), whenever HJ's using them. specifically at his biceps. EY is unsure whether he's jealous bc he wants those muscles or if he wants those muscles. (if you catch my drift)

i feel like HJ and EY could bond a lot over music. they are often listening to it.

the apocalypse storyline is not talked about enough. someone needs to write this since wanan only gave us a crumb and disappeared.

i mean, look at this ^^. are you gonna stand there and tell me you're not intrigued?

I'm reading the novel version of "I Raised My Fiancé with Money" and the bad thing is....

I sympathize a lot with Stella. And she isn't even that horribly awful. Annoying, spoiled, and without remorse, yes, but not irredeemable evil or even a villain. If it was just that, it would be whatever, but the fact that the narrative (more specifically, the protagonist's narration) always talks about her as some great villain just makes me go ???? And takes out my immersion

Tbh it's clear as day that its Lilia's biases and if it only was that would be whatever and just another nice thing to analyze BUT it's clear as daytime that the author is trying to justify it. Correct if I'm wrong, but my experience in reading OI speaks that this is the type of story to degrade other female leads to raise the MC in a narrativic standpoint.

And like. Stella is such a villainess material??? I mean, if you read her story you woud expect her to be the og villainess who has her body snatched or the protagonist who regress after failling into ruin.

Not only that, i think the author is missing the pontetial to write her as a well written antagonist by (seemingly) going down to the cliched route of "hysterical and stupid woman who is sooooo jealousy of the protagonist and fight for men"

Thing is, if the villanization of her character was focoused on her stalking the ML or anything else that is actually harmful i wouldn't mind at all, but im on ch 64 and it's jarring seeing the protagonist (who i generally like btw) acting as she is being super badass for scamming Stella and with a tone of superiority when its completely unnecessary??? Like gurl you didn't even needed to go to that party. The only reason you went there was bc you wanted to see Stella making a fool of herself for buying flowers from you. And like. I understand that someone trying to copy you is annoying and all but does that really calls for scamming???

If she did that to call out on her stalking/actual shitty behavior i would be pretty on board but idk feeling jealousy and coping somebody isn't that big of a crime, its annoying but bearable and ignorable.

Maybe im wrong and the novel will take a complete different path but like, instead of this wouldn't it be way more interesting if Stella was actually a well devolved character who instead of being constantly villanizate by the narrative, was portrayed as a victim of her environment and society which then made her do some shitty stuff but also fuck she's still young and has inferiority complex and body image issues

^like!!! How do you expect me to not like her???? Maybe this part eas just portrayed differently in the novel, but after reading a sympathetic portray of the antagonist, i dont understand why the narration is harsh towards her when it comes to her inferiority complex towards Lilia. Although it's not thrown at our faces compared to other novels, it still pretty much there

^ and why dont the author or the protagonist focous more on the fact that she was stalking/harassing the ML just for his position and felt no remorse? That's pretty fucking awful and more important than focousing on how pathetic and stupid she is for trying to cope the protagonist

And ik this is biased asf but a lot of my sympathy comes from the fact that this novel is almost the perfect "standard og novel" story. The only big change is that the ML is a sweetie

As i said, Stella looks a lot like those og villainess and the fact that our mc "stole" her Fiancé. Stelle was just harassing the ML but also the fact that she *was* getting engaged to him and it was pretty much official and everyone knew abt it, im not lying when i saying i pity the fact that she will get scorned by everyone. Not that i think the ML should've get engaged with her, actually i cheered when the engagement was broken off since Nobody should marry a stalker due to their abusive mother, that much is obvious. But it still oddly fun/interesting that if she take out that context, Stella could easily become an unfortunate villainess from random OI number 19282928

And its pretty hard to believe that the author isnt aware of that when its the biggest trope of the genre. SO AGAIN!!!! Why make her seem pathetic for having an inferiority complex/body image issues when you have this big gold chance of writing a paralleled character to the protagonist, who is a well rounded and sympathetic antagonist and the perfect character to play with the change of perspective/meta elements that is a big staple of the genre you're writing in?????

Anyways i love her <333 my fave <333 my meow meow whos fucking awful <3333 also fuck those nobles she was so pretty when she was fat

Also this equally relevant but i think she and lalia should fuck and they would be in this weird and awkward polycue with ML since Stella used to harassed him <3

I want put the three of them in a room and make the most awkward moment in history where they, but especially Stella would rather die than to talk about their feelings <3

J2 Gold Panel DCCon 2022

They are both looking so handsome! And Jensen is wearing a leather jacket 🤤🔥

First question up is: what is their theme song?

The fan mentions that their theme song is Don't Stop Believin' by Journey, and Jared says that Separate Ways, which is also by Journey, is pretty badass then says he's gonna go with Faithfully also by that band because while he's not a musician he’s on the road a lot.

Jensen also goes with a road-themed song: On the Road Again by Willie Nelson. He says he’s been driving a lot the past couple weeks (not to nitpick but he was in Canada filming recently so timelines not a 100% accurate on his part) to see family because they're close enough it’s only like 4hrs from where he works and while driving back and forth he’s been playing a lot of Willie Nelson and that song has come up a couple times. He also mentions that he and Jared travel quite a bit and with the pandemic that wasn’t possible so it's made him realize that he truly enjoys being out on the road.

Now for absolutely no reason whatsoever I'm gonna go ahead and point out that Jared has been in Santa Fe the past couple of days just a small drive away (around an 1hr) from Jensen. Jensen who has conveniently provided the information that he's been driving a lot. Y'all do with that info what you want 😇

Continuing on a fan who owns a bakery wants to know what is their favorite type of pie? Jared says pecan pie a la mode to which Jensen in total husband fashion says that what Jared actually likes is a little pecan pie with his ice cream 😆

Jensen answer is either banana or coconut cream pie...so of course Jared makes a joke about bananas and coconuts. x

The third question is not a question it’s a very stupid joke but the boys banter with the person is funny so I’ll include a timestamp. x

Jensen was still thinking about the previous fans question about pie so he asked them what the best pie they make is, the answer is pumpkin. Jared makes an inappropriate joke, I had to pause 🥧

*sigh* Y'all we’re never gonna be free from prank questions. The next question is what's the best prank they've pulled on set together. Y’all know the drill they never planned pranks they just saw the opportunity to mess with someone and would take it. They say the only pranks they had planned were some they wanted to pull on MC but didn't get a chance to. x

Can they tell the story of how they met? 🥰

I know y'all probably already know the story, and I have written about it before, so this will be the quick version. Long story short they meet during auditions on the network test. By that point, Jensen had read originally for Sam but he told tptb that he wanted to read for Dean, and Jared had read for Sam but they didn't think he was a good fit at first because they wanted someone smart so his manager had to call and let them know that he is smart so they gave him a second chance so anyways they both arrive to the chemistry match network test and they were the only ones there and they start talking and the rest is history.

While telling the story they also talk a bit about how the audition process has changed, and Jensen mentions how he would try to throw the competition off their game in the audition rooms which makes Jared go into a quick non sequitur about how when G was auditioning for Wildfire there was this girl, who he and Jensen worked with, who kept trying to make it seem like she already had the role in order to mess with the heads of the others. This story had no point and no end because Jared doesn't reveal who the actress was he just tells Jensen he'll tell him later. The one time the man says something mildly interesting about that woman and he leaves out the most important detail of the story. x

What was their funniest moment or longest outtake? Jared says he has a few regrets about his time on SPN 👀

But that his number one regret is that while they did a lot of things producers do they never got that official producer label. (baby, I regret y'all never got that label too but also spill the tea) If they had they would have kept all the gag reels and outtakes. Examples that come to his mind to answer the question are JDM getting hit in the balls when they filmed the 300th ep also Eye of the Tiger.

Jensen says he's been listening to some of the podcast thing that Benedict and Speight are doing and Taylor Cole, who played Sarah Blake, was in one of the eps and she mention how when they were filming Provenance something happened in one of the scenes and she couldn't stop giggling and Jared also couldn't stop laughing so they had to take a break because they couldn't reel it in. x

I don't know if this was the moment he was referring to but the way Jensen describes it reminds me of this moment from the s1 gag reel where Jared and Taylor are laughing and then there's jealous!Jensen in the background.

We have another non-question, a fan complimented Jensen’s cover of Simple Man that he did on Jason Mann’s cover album. Jensen tells the story of how his singing that song came about; so Jensen had agreed to be on the album but they hadn't chosen a song for him to sing so one day when Jason was in Van for something they were in Jensen's apartment and he asked him what he wanted to sing. Jensen was lightly strumming the guitar trying to come up with something and the song he was mindlessly strumming was Simple Man. Jason asked what he was playing and made Jensen sing the song and Jason liked it and said that's the song we're going with. x

On the off chance that some of you have not heard the acoustic cover, which is what's being mentioned here, that Jensen did of this song I'm gonna leave y'all a link because it's beautiful 🎸

Final question, is there a method to their acting that they’ve kept throughout the years? And a part that they’ve drastically changed?

Jared says his method has been the same since Gilmore Girls, he doesn't really memorize lines he just goes through the script over and over again until it's like a song that he can sing along with even if he doesn't know the name of it or the artist. He'll read it front to back at different times of the day whenever he gets the chance so when he gets to set it's so in his head that instinct takes over.

For Jensen, it's the opposite. He reads the script once very, very slowly. Some scenes he'll re-read a couple times till he has a good grasp of it and has a really good idea of how the scene should be played and then he'll move on and keep reading the script, once he gets through it he won't look at the whole thing again; he will look at the material for the next day the night before, read through it and remember how it impacted him the first time he read it, instinctually know the idea he thinks he wants to do for that scene but still not memorizing anything. Then the day off when they block it out and figure out when they wanna be that's when the words lock in because he is marrying them to his physical space. So when they go to shoot he knows the words.

He says the biggest advice he gives to young actors and actresses is that you always want to be emotionally available in a scene so if somebody's bringing something you hadn't thought of you want to be able to react to it properly.

Jared says he wouldn't recommend Jensen's method to young actors or actresses because it's very difficult to do but Jensen's a black belt in acting which is why he can do that- he admires Jensen so much 🥰

He also says that his pet peeve with scripts is when there's stage direction like 'sam cries' or 'dean breaks down' because there are times when they get there and in the moment it doesn't feel right. Says there are several scenes in SPN where the script doesn't mention them getting teared up but they would get teared up when filming, so he hates when emotions are written.

Jensen adds that that's the good stuff when there were things that would surprise them within the scene; the nuance of the scene and nuance of the relationship or the dialogue they would find it and that's something that he can't tell us how much he loves being a part of that with Jared. Because they would find it so quickly and so much that it would surprise them. 💕

Hullo xD I love your soft Imelda bit, could you do another one :’) maybe coming from another slytherins perspective, after the events of the game :))) <3

Hey anon! Thank you! I love writing soft Imelda, I think she definitely knows her worth, but I think she also is slightly insecure and wants friends, but is scared. Here you gooooo

Imelda Reyes, Quidditch Captain and Heartthrob.

I was tired. The end of the year was taxing, emotionally and physically. I thought I’d have a bit of a rest after the year ended, but I was wrong. I spent the summer holiday in Feldcroft with Ominis and Sebastian. Word had gotten out about my heroics, and residents from all across the Highlands were sending me owls, asking for favors. “Oh, listen to this one.” The three of us were sitting at the table, reading through what Sebastian called my fan mail. “Hello, MC. I have recently been afflicted with a terrible curse that prevents me from degnoming my garden. It seems the only cure lies in a tropical island in the Caribbean. I can travel there myself, but I worry for my poor garden.” Sebastian looked up from the letter, amused. “Honestly, the nerve and laziness of some people.” Ominis said, yet I could tell he did find it entertaining. “You’d think that you were a wand-for-hire.” I laughed at his remark. He was right. The amount of these cries for help that only needed help with simple mundane tasks was quite ridiculous. Of course, there was the odd troll we’d have to dispatch, or a wave of inferi created by some upstart. Rarely. We continued sorting through the haul from that day, and determined that we would write one letter saying that I had fallen ill, and motivating them to find the “courage and resolve I found when facing Ranrok” to complete their task. Once the letter was complete, we used a multiplying charm on it and sent the lot on their way.

The letters didn’t stop until the day before school began. It was at least decent enough of my “admirers” to respect my academic pursuits. Walking into Hogwarts was a breath of fresh air. The start of term feast was as delicious as always, and the new crop of Slytherins seemed promising. As I was cramming my face full of pudding, I looked up and made eye contact with Imelda. She seemed to have been watching me. I offered a mouth-full smile, and a small wave. Was that a blush I saw on the badass quidditch stars’ face? Probably not. We had ended the year as friends, but I didn’t think anything else of it. I pushed it to the back of my mind for the moment, and headed back to the Slytherin common room.

As I was sitting down by the fire, my thoughts drifted to Imelda. The way we had evolved through the last year was quite the tale. Her words rang through my head, “you’re a credit to our house.” She had said with a smile, after I had set the new record down at the south coast time trial. We spent more time together after that, chatting and challenging each other. She had the most delicate laugh, for someone with her personality. We’d make fun of each other, and all manner of “arguments” would catch many eyes from around the Great Hall. It was quite entertaining, and I was glad to have her as a friend. I frequently would wish that one of my summer letters would be her, but to no avail. I was snapped from my thoughts by Violet McDowell, a girl who had taken a sudden interest in me following the events of last year. “Hi MC! How are you? I’m well. Iwaswonderingifyourebusytomorrowevening?” Wow. The words flew from her mouth like a Peruvian Vipertooth that was late to work. “Umm well I-“ I struggled to think of an excuse. Perfectly one schedule, I was rescued by none other than the girl that I had wished to ask that question, Imelda. “Sorry Vi. MC and I are training for the upcoming Quidditch trials. I’ve selected them to be my co-captain.” Well this was news to me. “Oh, I understand. Good luck MC.” Violet said with a lustful gaze. She meandered off, and Imelda sat next to me on the couch. “I could tell you were a bit uncomfortable with that. You needn’t be my co-captain if you don’t want. I had planned to extend the offer more formally.” Again, I swear I saw the slightest hint of a blush on her cheeks. “Oh no I’d be honored, someone has to help keep you in check.” I mused. She chuckled. “More like I wanted to make sure your feelings weren’t hurt if I chose someone else.” She chided. Her tone shifted to business. “Right. Meet me at the pitch tomorrow at dawn. We need to get started early.” And she swiftly left. I watched her leave, taking in every detail of what had happened. I tried to tell myself she was just a friend, and I was the best option as co-captain. She didn’t have any romantic feelings for me, so I needn’t convince myself something was there. Yet, the sparkle of her eyes and the warmth of her laugh remained in my mind, almost teasing me. I made my way to bed, the thought of her soft skin and the subtle scent of her perfume refusing to leave me.

The next morning, I popped out of bed, heart slamming in my throat. I ignored Sebastian’s snoring and mumbling as I grabbed my perfectly trimmed and polished broom from my trunk. I wasn’t nervous for classes, or that I’d be rubbish during practice. It was more so excitement of flying with Imelda. I practically sprinted towards the pitch in my uniform. Imelda was ready for me, already having retrieved the balls and cleaned her broom. She saw me coming and grinned. “Had a sleepy start?” She snickered. “It’s about time you showed up.” I laughed. Her snickers and quips had gone from frustrating and obnoxious to almost sweet. “Sorry, thought I’d pop by the Lake and say hello to the merpeople.” Returning her sarcasm had quickly become second nature. “Alright Nerida. Time to begin!” I rolled my eyes, deciding to let her have the last word for now. “First off, we’ll need to decide your position. Our strongest point is Chaser of course,” she said with a flip of her hair, “and our weakest is Keeper. We had a damn good one, but they graduated last year.” I hadn’t given much thought to position. “Of course you do have a solid build, you would make a fair beater. And you’re fast, so seeker isn’t out of the question either.” She was so focused on her passion, it was quite attractive. “Well, I don’t want to distract you with my fantastic shows of strength, and Seeker is kinda boring, so Keeper?” I said. “Good choice! Now, let’s begin. I’ll try to score on you. Don’t let me.” And away we went.

Being as competitive as we both were, the training was grueling. I fared quite well, learning from and analyzing my mistakes. I could tell when we finished Imelda was impressed. “Well done! I wasn’t holding back. Remember, since you’re co-captain, you need to help me assess the trials tonight. But honestly if you play like that, we could have mooncalves as teammates and the Cup would be ours!” She threw her hands in the air, and in doing so dropped her broom. We both reached down for it, bumping into each other, and awkwardly apologizing. As we stood, I found myself closer to her. “I probably smell terrible.” I laughed. “Oh you do. Positively revolting.” I studied her face, beads of sweat trickling from her forehead, her chest still rising and falling as she tried to catch her breath. “I probably smell like a troll. What do you think?” She said, and took a step closer. She was inches away from me, looking up into my eyes. “Well, I’ve met a few trolls, and you definitely don’t smell that bad.” I lightly caressed her cheek, and she leaned into my hand. “Your hair looks quite sexy all messy and blustery.” I whispered. I inched closer, feeling her breath on my face. Her lips parted, and I fell into them, allowing myself to melt into her. She moaned softly as I a pulled her in, sweeping her in. Our kisses slowly got faster and hotter, as she ran her fingers through my hair and nibbled on my lower lip. We eventually pulled away from each other breathing heavily. “Wow.” I said. “Uh huh!” She replied. “Could you finally be speechless? Incredible, I would have kissed you last year in Irondale if that’s what it took.” I said with a wink. “Very funny. Now, as wonderful as that was, don’t expect it to just happen all the time.” I had to admit I was definitely disappointed at her words. I stared at my feet. “Imelda I-“ but she swiftly cut me off. “You have to at least take me on two dates first. Then I’ll be your girlfriend.” I looked back up, beaming. “Well then, it shall be my sole purpose. Prepare yourself, I’m a damn good date planner.” I planted a kiss on her forehead, and winked at her. “That one doesn’t count.” She smiled and moved back into me, placing her hand on my chest. “On second thought, if you consider our competition last year, that could be considered three dates.” She said mischievously. My heart jumped to my throat and my stomach filled with butterflies. “And Everett Clopton has already started trying to court me.” She looked back up at me innocently. “I’d hate to lead him on.” I picked her up and spun her around. “And we can’t have that! Poor Everett would be broken.” She chuckled softly and gently kissed my cheek. “Now, go shower co-captain. You’ll need to keep your marks up if you want to stay on the team.” She lightly pushed me away. “You’re one to talk Mellie, you could overflow the lake with all that sweat.” I mused. She stuck her tongue out at me and we both laughed. I practically skipped to the showers, ignoring the strange looks from the hufflepuff captain walking up to the pitch.

The Slytherin Quidditch team squashed Gryffindor first match. Nobody scored on me, and I watched in awe as Imelda masterfully corkscrewed through the opposition and scored goal after goal. As our seeker snagged the Golden Snitch and Madam Kogawa blew her whistle, Imelda flew over to me and planted a kiss firmly on my cheek. “Well done, I knew you were the right choice.” Her smile lit up my heart, sending tingles down my arms. “I could say the same for you.” I replied. She looked at me, confused. “What choice did I make?” I laughed at her confusion. “The one to be my girlfriend, you dork.” She giggled and blushed. If you told me last year I’d be dating Imelda Reyes, and she would be giggling? And blushing? Well, I would have taken you to St. Mungo’s. Clearly you had a run in with a flock of Fwoopers. Absolutely out of your mind.

Even if Tempest

A semi-spoiler gush/mini review about a game that no one else seems to be playing. Which is kind of the story of my life. Either I find something long after people have stopped regularly playing... or before anyone else has picked it up. Or nobody else likes?

Basically the overall plot of EiT is that the MC (Anastasia, but as per usual you can change that) has spent the last eight years of her life held prisoner in the attic due to her wicked stepmother and evil stepsister and abusive father. Cue the entry of a handsome prince who rescues her, proposes... and then everything goes horribly wrong and she ends up being burned as a witch (none of this is a real spoiler - it's part of the game description/trailer).

Then MC is given the power of the "Fatal Rewind" which allows her to go back to whatever point she chooses in her life and re-do things. Her goal is to get revenge on those who have wronged her but also her mission (given to her by a cute being who also gives her the rewind power) is to locate the "Witch of Ruin" who happens to be causing havoc in the country.

When MC reboots herself the first time, she returns to the point before she was imprisoned in the attic, and her little 10 year old self runs away from home, and joins up as a cadet to become part of the Winged corps (basically knights who ride giant birds called Garudas). Over the next eight years, she trains in archery and fighting, and she is a total badass and I love her. MC is amazing.

So, that's more or less where the routes begin.

Structure:

The structure of the game is unusual in that you are only able to play the routes in a prescribed order: Crius or Tyril (you do get a choice which to play first of those two, but I think Crius's route is a better intro into the world), then Zenn, then Lucien. None of the endings of these routes (except for the last one) are happy.

Prepare for angst.

And sad.

Big sad sometimes.

Because in between routes (and sometimes within routes) MC plays her "fatal rewind" card, and tries again to get her revenge and also defeat the witch. Or save the life of someone who dies within the route. Once you successfully finish all four routes (without getting a dead, bad, or tragic end), you then get to play through the happy endings, and then there's a summary epilogue.

Additional game play:

Within each of these routes, there is a trial of sorts, which depending on the route, MC is either a suspect, an inquisitor, or the murderer. ... it... will make more sense when you play it. Well. By the second time you get to a trial, it will make more sense. You get a chance to investigate the suspects pre-tiral, but you've only got a certain amount of time to do that, and there are more suspects than time, so you will have to choose carefully.

Save your data often.

Emotional Arc:

Did I mention the MC is awesome? She grows and learns lessons throughout the story, both philosophical lessons, and life lessons. There are musings on "whose responsibility is your happiness?" "Is it better to live for yourself or for others?" "What is the cost of revenge?" And the all important, "Yes, it totally is appropriate to ask for help."

Oh, and the insanity:

This game throws pretty much everything into the soup ... there's the aforementioned witch; a killer clown; a handsome prince; an evil prince; the stepmother; giant birds; a terrible illness; murders; death; rebirth; an isekai'd basketball player (or maybe it was rugby... the game was not clear), priests who have committed abuse; stalkers; a mysterious lost tribe; a ninja; an assassin ... and yet even though some of this stuff was never really answered (the killer clown... what? who? why?), it still was totally compelling.

Maya!:

MC has a best friend, faithful maid named Maya who is there for her through everything ... which means that Maya gets put through the same kind of hell that MC does (and sometimes worse). Maya is great. I wish Maya got a LI too. Maya deserves .... hmm.... fanfic. (Must ponder that - especially since Maya and one of the LI's, Tyril, are a hoot together.)

Oh and of course... the LIs... all of whom were great, three of whom I fell for in different ways... and the fourth... is a good guy too.

Crius Castlerock:

Crius is the commander of the winged forces, so he's a little older than MC. He's got a reputation as a flirt, is always there to try to help everyone else's problems, and will sacrifice himself for others. (Basically, a Shingen Takeda type).

Tyril Lister:

Tyril is an inquisitor, has an unlikely friendship with Crius (and Zenn), is harsh, sarcastic, has a ton of secrets, definitely a tsundere, and is a fan of torture devices. The dialogue in the Tyril/MC route is nicely quippy, and once MC gets to know Tyril, she realizes he's got a soft, sweet, gooey center.

It's... um deep down.

Zenn:

Zenn is a bit standoffish at first, he hangs back, and he's got really good reasons for at first distrusting MC. But once he's in, he's all in. He's always got her back, and appears to have brother zoned her (for... reasons). Oh and he's built. Look at the six pack in the above CG. He looks like Motonari, behaves a little like Hideyoshi, and has Mitsuhide's VA (I found it kind of surreal, because I was rereading Mitsuhide's route at the same time as Zenn's). Zenn's route is definitely a ride.

Lucien:

Prince Lucien is the childhood friend of MC. When she disappeared, he was devastated and has never stopped trying to find her. He's a sweetheart, definitely a cinnamon roll (a running gag is that he'll often tear up, but then exclaim it's just because he has weak tear ducts). Lucien is a sweetheart, but the childhood friends to lovers trope just isn't one of my favorites. But you get to know Lucien a lot better than the other LIs, partially because when you get to his route, the first half is in his POV (for ... plot reasons).

Warnings:

This game is pretty bloody and dark. When the Witch appears in the town, he picks one person and gives them the ability to kill whoever they want, without fear and remorse. It's interesting and terrifying to have routes where characters you know and love are freed from moral restraint. In some routes there are also additional murders /death threats.

The deaths happen off camera, more or less (your screen will suddenly turn red), but they are described, and additionally, you will encounter characters with blood on their hands and faces. I didn't think it was especially gory (it's no Red Wedding) but there are certainly descriptions of violence.

The inter-route endings are sad. Not all of the LIs, or friends of MC survive (but you'll have the knowledge that MC is going to rewind time to prevent it next time).

It's angsty. MC goes through a lot.

In spite of that, I found the game extremely compelling. The crazysauce plot, and emotional arc, and the fun dialogue are all plusses in my mind, and made up for the violence and angst.

howdy may i rq an obey me head-cannon with mammon, levi and simeon ?

something like mc naturally having that intimidating subconscious glare and the body language just naturally scares everyone around them, how would those 3 react if mc single handedly takes out a big ass demon who tries to pick on luke ?

fem! mc or gn! mc if you’re uncomfortable with it, thank youu - 👺anon

Unexpected Audience

OOO YES 👺 ANON IM ROCKIN WITH THIS REQ

tbh i've been waiting for someone to request sim, i fucking love that dude so tysm for the req 💗💗

AND AN INDEPENDENT AND STRONG MC??? ILY FOR THAT MWAH 😽

as per usual, we have my normal long ass intro abt i'm so sorry if anyones ooc, and again as always if you sent this req and would like me to make any modifications, please please let me know! id be happy to change to meet your expectations 👺 anon <33 i am so sorry for the delay, I was super busy this weekend 👁. also if you don't want an nonplatonic relationship in these PLEASE TELL ME. i'll fix it no problem!!

Content Warning(s): Fem!MC, MC is a whole badass, swearing, mentions of harassment, teeny teeny small dash of blood/fighting, huge ass RAD student and higher level demon gets his ass handed to him by MC, his name is Chad bc i'm unoriginal 💀, swearing, and this very long content warnings section (it deserves the warning i'm so sorry-)

Word Count: 3.3k

When you showed up to the Devildom the first time, it was no surprise everyone and their dogs were just a liittleee bit intimidated by you. Nothing personal, honestly, it was just the way your face rested, like you held a deep personal grudge against the world. And when you got mad, dang MC you even have Lord Diavolo shivering in his flamboyant red uniform. It was not unusual for the lower level demons to be wary around you, your menacing aura just daring them to try to mess with you like they did with their other peers. And the best part? While you were well aware how your resting face and general aura came off menacing, it wasn't intentional in the slightest. You weren't a troublemaker like Lucifer had imagined you'd be at first glance, and the other brothers, angels and the sketchy sorcerer came to know you were enthusiastic and excitable at some points just like them. So seeing you side swipe the higher rank demon Chad across the face in the middle of the RAD hallway?? Yeah that was a huge fucking surprise. Even more so when he noticed you had bloodied your lip, and droplets of your blood was staining your uniform. 'MC??' he blurted. Unaware you had an audience, you whipped towards the call of your name, shocked to see,

"Mammon?!"

"Uh, sorry Mammon just one second!" you yelled, dodging Chads swing to your head. Swiftly moving behind him you jammed your fist into his vagus nerve and whacked him in the center of his back, successfully bringing him to his knees. Kneeling between his shoulder blades, you kept him in place firmly holding his head to the ground while Mammon watched in awe. "Now listen to me now Chad, because this is your last warning. If you and your big macho demon buddies don't leave Luke alone from here onward, you will have me to deal with. And I promise you this, I will make your life a living nightmare." Annunciating your words with one more shove of his head into the ground you let him go and dusted yourself off. You presumed you'd have to do damage control with Mammon later, but you wanted to take care of one more thing first. "Luke?? Are you okay?? He's gone now, and I made sure he won't bother you again." Luke popped his head out from behind the wall parallel to you and ran to you, wrapping you in a tight hug. "I-I'm fine MC thanks to you that is!" He praised, still hugging you tight. Laughing to yourself you spoke gently into his ear. "Luke I'm glad I was here to help, but I need you to run along to class now okay??" He nodded and took off past Mammon as you walked over to the man himself, fully prepared to apologize. "Uh Mammon??" you questioned, as he seemed to be zoned off in the direction of your previous battle with Chad with a stupid look on his face. He only snapped out of it when you grabbed his arm to check his pulse, as you were getting anxious about your lack of response. "M-MC! That was so-" "Mammon I'm so sorry you had to see that!" you cut him off, ashamed. "MC that was the coolest fuckin' thing I've ever seen!" Mammon yelled, sporting a bright blush. "Really?? Most people would be terrified if they saw a mere human kicking a high rank demons ass in the middle of the hall like that!" You asked hopefully, craning your head to make sure Luke had made it to class. When you saw he had, you made sure you focused all your attention on Mammon. "Yer a lifesaver for that MC! I don't give a shit if tha' douchebag is a high rank or not, everyone here was waiting for someone like you ta humble him. A-and as a thanks for yer bravery, the Great Mammon is allowing ya ta come on a date with me!" He stumbled through his sentance, more a demand than a request, but you could tell he was genuinely interested in his own, tsundere way. "I'd be honored, The Great Mammon." You leaned into his side, walking towards the exit. "C-course ya would, who wouldn't be. Say, MC, how did this big fight start in the first place??" "Well..."

It was a normal, boring day at RAD and all you wanted to do was finish your last class, and book it back to the HoL for a much needed self-care session with Asmo. That was the plan, until you heard the tell-tale screeeches of Luke in the secluded back hall. Throwing your stuff into your locker with a bang, you shot off in pursuit of the peril-filled scream of your close companion. Finding him on the ground, being berated and kicked by the known douchebag, Chad. And boy did it enrage you. You know Luke would never wrong that demon, so it either is out of sport or for a petty reason like wanting his lunch money. So, you walked up to Chad and pushed him away from Luke, who scurried behind the wall you had just appeared from. "What do you think you're doing?! Huh?? Now what, you're taking advantage of the young angels in this school? Is that it?? Well not anymore you ratfuck, your torment ends here." You antagonized him from a fairly safe distance. Truth be told you were terrified. Not only was he a demon and you a human, but he was also a decent five times the size of you, in other words he was fucking huge. However you were well aware of your scare factor and decided to use that to your advantage. Plus, you had taken a self-defense class up in the Human World, so you knew you had a decent chance. "Eh, who cares!," Chad exclaims, throwing his hands in the air and stepping towards me. "What is a puny human like you gonna do, huh?? What could possibly make you think you could beat me??" "Well, skill of course." You snapped, getting in his face. You vaugely remembered being told you could pleade a convincing case if the other person started the fight, so bracing yourself you choked, ''C'mon then, I'll let you get the first hit." Chad smirked, bringing his fist back to slam in into your lip, causing you to spit up blood. "Okay... My turn." Smiling to yourself you turned to walk away getting a running start and sliding to the ground in between his legs, grabbing one and yanking him to the ground. Moving quickly, you kneeled on his arms, slamming punch after punch into his face, making him more bloody than you were. "Never *punch* ever*punch* ever *punch* think *punch* i *punch* won't *punch* kick *punch* your *punch* ass *punch* again *punch*." Chad threw you off of himself and you slammed into the wall. Pushing yourself up with a groan, you moved to continue, when he threw a punch and a shocked voice called your name.

"I guess thats it then." you sang happily. "MC YER A BADASS!" Mammon yelled, passing through a hoard of demons heading to Majolish. When Mammon spotted Beel in the crowd he raised your intertwined hands and yelled, "BEEL! MY S/O IS A BADASS!" "S/o huh??" You teased, smirking. "YA KNOW WHAT I MEAN!" He shrieked,red as a tomato and clearly embarrassed. "Well, Great Mammon I would be delighted to be your S/O!" you finished, pecking his cheek with a kiss and walking off happily.

"Levi?!!"

Worried now about being preoccupied with Leviathan you muttered a quick "One second Levi! Sorry!" And continued with your intense battle with Chad. Ducking under his swing to your head, you dropped to the ground, sweeping your leg underneath Chads bringing him to the ground. With a swift jab to his vagus nerve, he was out cold, laying on the ground bloody and bruised. Finally, you could focus on Levi and Luke, who was standing by the otaku in fear. Stumbling over to the stunned Leviathan and relieved looking Luke, you cleared your throat and exclaimed "Hey guys! How are both of you?? Luke, are you okay??" You questioned moving back to assess his injuries. "I'm okay MC thanks to you at least!" He engulfed you in a quick hug while Levi was still yet to respond. He couldn't stop thinking about how you had annihilated the still uncouncious Chad. You were just like the main character in the new anime he watched,'The School Bully hurt a Student so I Taught Him a Lesson'! You were definitely final boss status! When he finally broke out of his thoughts of how badass you were you had already began furiously snapping in front of his face to confirm his wellbeing. Upon seeing you so close to his face the otaku broke out of his trance and trying and failing to hide his blush he spoke "MC t-that was so c-cool!" He exclaimed shakily, and your beloved otaku thought he truly was just going to pass away when you threw your arms around him in a hug. "Really!" you exclaimed "I thought you were gonna think I was stupid and a troublemaker and not wanna talk to me anymore." Seemingly upset, Leviathan decided it was now his personal mission to cheer you up, he couldnt let his Henry be upset of course! "U-um MC... would.. would you li-like to come to my room now?? Theres a new game in from Akuzon and it's a t-two player so...." He muttered, bright red. "YES YES YES!" you shouted, grabbing his hands and dragging him along in the direction of his room.

After hours of gaming, Levi turned to you to ask the question on his mind for the past couple hours. "MC?" You paused the video on your D.D.D to adknowledge Levi with a nod and a smile. "Um.. why did you even fight Chad in the first place?" "Well it all started when.."

'MC IS just like the main character in 'The School Bully hurt a Student so I Taught Him a Lesson'! No wonder you were his Henry!" Suddenly your face changed into a happy expression. Leviathan was confused, as you had just sat in comfortable silence since you told your epic story about your showdown with Chad. That was, until you spoke. "I'm your Henry Levi??" you asked hopefully. Did he say that out loud? Oh my Diavolo he said that out loud. Now you're gonna hate him because he's just a gross, yucky, shut-in otaku- "Woah hey get out of your head. I'm glad I am.. Actually I wanted to ask if you wanted to be my partner??" after moments of silence you followed up with "I-it's okay if you don't wanna I under-OOf!" Tackling you in a hug Levi whispered a small "yes" Under his breath. Smiling to yourself you thought only how you couldn't be happier to finally be with your player 2.

"Simeon??!"

If you were afraid of Chad this had to be 20 times worse. Simeon, being an avid rule follower would certainly not appreciate this, and even Lord Diavolo himself is terrified of an angry Simeon. So truthfully the big ass demon you were in the middle of fighting was nothing compared to the scolding you were sure to face after you took care of this situation. "Um! Simeon! One second!" you shrieked, kneeing Chad in the stomach. Simeon turned to Luke, also standing behind the pillar he was observing from behind. "Luke, why has this happened?" He questioned worriedly. "Um.. well, it was because of me." He squeeked. "Very well, I'll ask MC then-" He was cut off by a loud CRACK from your direction. Worried for your safety, Simeon decided he needed to assist you. Taking a step forward, he was ready to interfere when a hand grabbed his arm. "Wait a second. MC can handle it." Luke mumbled. "I trust your judgement.." Simeon looked distraught. "But I don't want you around here when MC finishes with Chad. So run along to class yeah??" Waving a small goodbye, Luke ran the other way, leaving Simeon to stress. Then, he realized it was unnessicary. You had already struck down Chad, who was now bloody and groaning in pain on the ground. Deciding to start damage control with Simeon, you moved that way. What you didn't account for was the drop of energy you experienced, adrenaline wearing off. Your legs grew weak and you folded to the ground. Or at least you would have, if Simeon hadn't caught you. "Little Lamb are you alright??" A frown creased Simeons brow, a worried look adorning his extravagant features. "Y-yes Simeon, I'm fine. B-but I can explain." You muttered into his chest. "Yes, please do." Simeon petted your hair and dug around in his schoolbag for a water, which he handed to you as you began.

" You.. you don't hate me now? I hope you don't since y'know I like you and all and all I was trying to do was help but I understand if you don't wanna be around me anymore-" "Little Lamb?" Simeon cut you off. "Yes?" "You like me? Well I'm glad. I have been wanting to ask you to accompany me to The Celestial Realm for quite some time now, so I'm glad you return my affections. Although I do wish I would have been able to go through with my original plan. And I could never hate you. I am, as it seems absolutely enamoured by you." Giving Simeon a tight hug you exclaimed happily "I would love to!' He beamed, and chuckled, light and airy, 'It's a date then."
