Chills Right to the Marrow Part 6
part 1, prev part
cw: brief mentions of blood and injuries
The next morning, Dustin convinces his mom to drive him to the hospital. Anxious the entire way there. Begging the nurse with the look in his eyes to be able to go see Steve. It’s not like his parents would come home anyway. He needed family right now.
Robin jolts awake in her chair when he opens the door. Wincing at the crick in her neck. “Dustin, hey.”
“How is he?” He sits down next to her. Staring at Steve, fast asleep in his hospital bed. Listening as the monitor beeps. And beeps. And just keeps beeping. Each one a beat of his heart. He’s alive. That’s one crossed off his list.
“Fine. They had to give him some blood, he lost a lot. But they gave him stitches, there was nothing internal, which is good. There was a slight infection in the wounds, so they want to keep him here a few days to make sure it doesn’t get worse. And with all his head trauma, they want to give him a few scans to make sure nothing got worse there.”
Dustin nods along, half listening. Just focusing on the fact that he’s alive. Right here. Alive. “He should have listened to me.”
Robin scoffs. “Yeah, he should have. But you know Steve. He doesn’t ask for help even when he’s dying. Dumbass.” She blinks away the tears that gloss over her eyes.
“Did I,” Dustin starts to ask, the words getting caught in his throat. “Was this because of me? If I hadn’t of jumped through that portal again, Steve wouldn’t have collapsed.”
“No,” Robin stops him, placing a comforting hand on his arm. “No, this was not your fault. Even if you didn’t sprain your ankle, Steve still would have insisted you get looked at first, you know that. And Eddie’s here now, because of you. Because you made sure we found him.”
The room stills, sounds fading into the background. “Eddie’s alive?” Dustin asks is disbelief. In rising hope that something good happened in the chaos last night.
Robin nods with a small smile. “Yeah, he’s alive. Right across the hall, actually. The nurse told me about it this morning when I came in. There was a surgery, he lost a lot of blood, had some damage to his nerves, to some of his organs. They went a lot deeper than they did with Steve, they were angrier. But nothing some time can’t heal.”
Dustin starts to stand, ready to run across the hall. “I have to go see him, can he have visitors?”
Robin stands to catch up with him. “He can but-.” She takes a deep breath. “Dustin, there’s no easy way to say this. Eddie’s in a coma. They’re not sure how long until he wakes up.”
The hope drops to Dustin’s feet. “A coma?”
“But he’s alive. That’s what important here. He’s alive because of you, Dustin. Because you didn’t give up on him.”
“Will you come with me, to see him?” Dustin hates the vulnerability in his voice. How it makes him sound like such a kid. Too afraid to do anything by himself.
He is afraid. Images of Eddie’s dying frame still resting in his arms. The weight pulling him to the ground. The dread resting in the pit of his stomach. And tears pooling in his eyes. Repeating pleads of staying strong. To keep eyes open and breathing slow. Even if they were shallow.
Robin nods again. “Of course.”
They head across the hall, knocking on the door to see if anyone’s in there. The room is empty except for Eddie.
The blood is washed off his face, and he’s in different clothes. Dirt and grime of the previous week washed out of his hair. Fingers stripped of the chunky rings that normally adorn them. Visible stitches on his arms, some on his neck. More resting under his clothes, down his legs. So many tubes going in every direction. Keeping him alive.
Dustin’s eyes travel to the ring of silver trapped around Eddie’s wrist. Bound to the rail of the hospital bed. After all he’s been through, they had the audacity to chain him to the bed. He doesn’t even have the strength to breath on his own properly. How could he do anything to warrant being chained?
Tears fall down Dustin’s cheek. Seeing Eddie’s lifeless form as Steve performs CPR. Counting to thirty under his breath before giving Eddie more air. Repeating until his heart started pumping again. Seeing his body get picked up and carried back to the gate. A new rope made of upside-down stained fabric. A makeshift ladder built to transfer him over to the real world with the least amount of damage. Just to see the horrors of the world spit in two as they speed to the hospital.
Robin’s arm wraps around Dustin’s shoulder, holding him close. He forces himself to turn away, unable to see his friend like this anymore. Knowing that he’s alive, but at what cost. Will he ever open his eyes the same as he did before? Will the smile he carried to death ever have the same shine?
Will Eddie look at Dustin the same again? He was part of the reason he got dragged up in all this shit anyway. If he hadn’t gone searching for him, Eddie would have never been part of the plan. Never had been the distraction. Never have run right into the danger to lead the bats away.
“Are you ok?” Robin asks softly.
Dustin shakes his head. “He looks so helpless right now.”
“Maybe. But we both know that he is fighting as hard as he can to wake back up again. It’s just going to take some time.”
He nods, ready to leave. To let Eddie rest. Robin leads him out of the room. That two people crossed off of Dusin’s list. Both alive. Only one more name left.
A man is being led down the hall by a nurse, stopping in front of Eddie’s room. Holding the door open as the man takes in the person inside it. As Mr. Munson sees his nephew for the first time in a week, barely alive. Nancy comes down the hall a few minutes after him, two coffee cups in hand.
“Thought you could use it.” She hands a cup to Robin.
“I see you found him,” Robin says, cocking her head towards Eddie’s room.
Nancy nods. “Yeah. Took a while, but he deserved someone who believed him to tell him. Not the bastard cops.”
Dustin walks away from them as they continue talking. Knocks on Eddie’s hospital door, it squeaking open. “Excuse me, Mr. Munson.”
Mr. Munson looks up from the hands his face was rested in. Wiping away lines of tears. “Yes.”
“My name’s Dustin. I’m a friend of Eddie’s, was with him when he came in.” He reaches into his pocket, pulling out the guitar pick necklace. “I think this belongs with you.”
He steps closer to hand the necklace to Mr. Munson. Who takes it, letting the chain slide across Dustin’s fingers. A silent goodbye. It was burning a hole in his pocket anyway. Reminder of the time before.
Mr. Munson nods in thanks as Dustin backs out of the room. “It’s just Wayne.”
Dustin stops, turning around in confusion.
“Just call me Wayne, not Mr. Munson.” There is a recognition in Wayne’s eyes. He knows who Dustin is.
“Ok, Wayne,” Dustin smiles.
He heads across the hall again to Steve’s room, sitting in a chair. Robin and Nancy still talking outside the hall.
Steve stirs in the bed. Head turning to the side as his eyes start to open. Taking a deep breath. “Hey, Dustin,” he whispers quietly.
The tears start up again. “You’re a fucking pain in my ass, you know that.”
“Language,” Steve fake scolds. He doesn’t get to tell that to Dustin right now. Not after what he’s put him through.
“I hate you.” Dustin gets to his feet to awkwardly give Steve a hug. Steve half returning it, still tired.
“Yeah,” he breathes. Alive. “Love you too.”

Being Noah's twin and knowing the Autobot's before him
SFW, Platonic, Familial, Human reader
ROTB
Buddy is Noah’s younger twin.
It all happened a couple years ago while Buddy was still in high school.
Noah had been going on and on about the army engineering program and the places he would go.
Buddy was close to shoving their hot dog in his mouth.
They knew with him leaving, things at home weren’t going to be the same and with no Noah at home…
It didn’t seem right at all.
They don’t know why they did it, but that night they snuck out of the small apartment and walked out.
Maybe they needed to get their head straight and accept that Noah was leaving.
Buddy didn’t know how long they were walking for, but soon enough they reached the docks.
It wasn’t too far from home, but far enough to warrant them to turn back and go home.
That was until they heard a whirling sound that sounded suspiciously like whining.
They tried to go back but the whirling sound grew a bit louder and more pitiful.
Despite their better judgement, they went to the noise.
Buddy couldn’t believe their eyes…
Maybe they finally snapped from the stress of finals.
A yellow robot clutching his ‘knee’ was making the whirling sound while two other robots were around him.
They looked concerned and tried to help Yellow.
Buddy took a step backwards and stepped on some loud bubble wrap.
Pink and Blue take out their weapons and point in the direction of the sound,
“Show yourself!”--Blue
Buddy shakingly steps out of their hiding place with their hands raised above their head.
All four of them stared at each other.
“…Hi?...”--Buddy
Buddy internally screaming at that response.
“Great, a human. Prime’s not going to like this…”--Pink
“I heard someone in pain and came to see…”--Buddy
“Yeah we’re fine—”--Blue
Yellow whirls in pain as some sparks come out of his knee.
Buddy looks at Yellow sympathetically.
“I’ve got a tool kit with me. I can try and see what’s wrong with your friend. I promise I won’t do anything funny!”--Buddy
Pink looks like she wants to retaliate, but Blue puts a hand out to stop Pink.
“Maybe squishy over here can see something we can’t. It doesn’t hurt to try.”—Blue
Pink finally steps aside with Blue.
“…Fine.”—Pink
Buddy slowly walked over to the bot’s sparking knee and took out their mini tool kit.
They used a flashlight and began their look.
A long twig stuck between some of the joints, that must have been the problem.
With a swift yank Buddy got the twig out of the joint.
They nearly cracked their skull but pink and blue both break their fall.
Buddy held up the twig in victory as yellow moved its knee much easier and without sparks.
“Ha! Got it!”--Buddy
“You did?”--Pink
Yellow beeps happily and gently pat Buddy’s head.
“Thank you darling—the pain—hurting like a—”--Yellow
“Got it! You’re welcome… umm do you guys have names?”--Buddy
“My--name is—Bumblebee.”--Bumblebee
Buddy smiles at the yellow bot.
“The names Mirage squishy.”--Mirage
“I am Arcee.”--Arcee
Buddy smiles.
“I’m Buddy. If you don’t mind, but what are you guys?”--Buddy
“Umm… I think its better to take you to the boss bot for that.”--Mirage
“Boss?”--Buddy
“Don’t worry we ain’t gonna eat ya or anything. We’re kinda like E.T!”--Mirage
Buddy deadpans.
Bee transforms into his alt mode.
“… E.T. never did this…”--Buddy
Optimus was not exactly happy to have been discovered by humans… but this one did help Bumblebee…
He decided to give this one the benefit of the doubt.
Over the next couple of years Buddy would start sneaking out and showing the bots Earth and the city while they shared their mission and their ways as well.
Buddy and Arcee, after the brief tension, were often seen driving around the backways on her alt mode talking about the city and its history.
Buddy and Arcee driving by a section of the docks.
“What about this place?”--Arcee
“Don’t know too much about this part, except the time me and Kris found 10 bucks and a pizza rat.”--Buddy
“What’s a rat.”--Arcee
Buddy and Mirage enjoy the little speedy joyrides around the city and a good game of ‘which hologram is mirage’ in the more secluded hiding places.
Buddy looks at the four holograms of Mirage.
“Eenie meanie minie…gotcha!”--Buddy
Buddy tries to tackle ‘Mirages’ pede but passes through.
“Ha! Try again Buddy!”--Mirage
Mirage picks up Buddy from the back of their shirt and stands them up.
“Best out of 25?”—Mirage
Buddy smiles as they brush off some dust from their clothes.
“You’re on!”--Buddy
Buddy and Bumblebee like to go out to the drive-in movie theaters, joyrides and stories from their lives before they knew each other.
“So, you came to earth before everyone? Even Boss bot?”--Buddy
“Yes!”--Bumblebee
“And this Charlie girl? She’s your friend?”--Buddy
“She was—my first—friend.”--Bumblebee
“You gotta take me to this Charlie so I can thank her for taking care of you.”--Buddy
Bee whirls happily.
“Ooh! The movies about to start!”--Buddy
In starts the ‘Terminator’ movie.
Optimus reminded Buddy a lot of Noah.
Older brother’s trying to protect their families, while also being the most stubborn beings in existence.
That must have been a reason why Buddy understood how Prime worked and got along with him so well.
Priem isn’t attached to a human.
No, he is not…
So, what he drove a couple miles to pick them up from a party when their brother couldn’t.
So, what if they let him rant about the war and they would rant about school and their family.
He isn’t attached or anything…
Buddy hurriedly climbs into Prime cab sniffling.
“Buddy? Buddy what happened?”--Optimus
Buddy curls up in their seat making themselves as small as possible.
“…Buddy? Are you all right?”--Optimus
Buddy sniffs.
“Noah… Noah and I had a fight and—and—I just need a moment Optimus…”--Buddy
Optimus wraps the seatbelt around Buddy loosely, the best way he could give a hug them.
“Take your time Buddy, I’m here.”—Optimus
Optimus plays Buddy’s favorite radio station.
“I’m here…”--Optimus
The day that Noah comes in Buddy was with Optimus and nearly begged him to not transform as their secret would be let out.
It was let out regardless.
Noah is just stunned that Buddy knew about the aliens for years!?
He wants an explanation.
“HOW!?”--Noah
“Listen, I can explain!”--Buddy
“You better!”--Noah
“Calm down, Noah it’s all fine.”--Mirage
“You don’t get to talk, you kidnapped me!”--Noah
“And you were trying to steal me.”--Mirage
“I’m sorry you were trying to steal him?!”--Buddy

hope you dont mind the ask, was just kinda curious ^^
what was your mindset in coming back to the internet and did you expect the kind of reaction that you got?
i wasnt expecting the positive response AT ALL. coming back my mindset was something liek "im only doing this so i can post my art again, im only doing this becuz im passionate abt my artwork. nobodys gonna believe me and im sure only a handful of ppl r gonna be rational abt this whole thing, and im gonna have 2 deal with a mob of ppl out 2 get me and another mob who wants 2 sexualize me and stalk me, but if i can post my artwork and just ignore it itll be fine."
and then i posted my vid and every1 was so sympathetic and understanding and pleasant 2 me. ive nevr experienced that kind of basic humanity b4 on the internet, and it was shocking. every1 was so nice abt my struggles with abuse and homelessness inparticular, which was honestly an afterthought in my comeback vid becuz i didnt think any1 would care. i didnt expect anything close 2 the reaction i got, and it gave me a lot of hope and peace. i felt safe posting online 4 the first time.
i cant say that i still feel the same, after the borderline 12 situation happening only 6 days after my vid ive basically been retraumatized and have severe anxiety surrounding the internet again. it was my fault and was incredibly disrespectful, hurtful, and wrong, i will never deny that i was wrong in the first place and did something horrible. but the sheer harassment and dogpiling wasnt warranted and was arguably worse than what i did 2 begin with. it was blown out of proportion and it only took 6 days 4 every1 2 stop liking me and treating me like a person. that situation made me realize that despite the overwhelming positivity that i received, there will always be so many ppl who want 2 take it away from me, who want 2 make the internet unsafe 4 me again, who want 2 see my downfall. i wont let them win, i will ALWAYS strive 2 want 2 be the best person i can be and better myself everyday, i will ALWAYS want 2 learn from my mistakes and improve. but knowing this, posting again feels liek walking on eggshells.
2 summarize.. i have vry mixed feelings abt the internet as of rn. im so so so so so so so grateful 4 the support and i love all of u, but i know that it could be taken away from me at any minute due 2 something that i will nevr foresee. i nevr come online with the intention 2 be problematic or controversial or hateful, i just liek posting art!!! i would nevr do something offensive or hurtful on purpose, but im scared of doing it by accident again.
didnt think thisd be so long!!! or venty!!! i need 2 talk less mayb.. lol ^^;

⛪ Sunday x Reader ⛪God Before an Aeon
Mistakes happen every day. It’s part of being a human.
Not every misjudgment is dire enough to be dubbed a sin. A benign mishap such as forgetfulness or a slightly less favorable decision is not enough to warrant the wrath of God.
Despite this, every day you returned to confess your wrongdoings. With every visit, you hoped that a certain someone would be there to relay your apologies to those above. As you waited in line, you listened closely to those in front of you, not with the intention of eavesdropping, but rather, if you could tell if he was there. If it wasn’t his voice that you heard, then you could care less. If, however, it was him, then whatever little slip-ups you made that day were going to become his problem.
That alone was a sin worth confessing. Regardless, you kept up this act, for you hoped for so much as a glimmer of hope of seeing him face to face.
The tiredness in his voice every time he spoke to you was obvious. Every confession concluded with the same general exchange to quickly send you off.
"Do you swear to Xipe to change your ways for the better?"
"On my life."
"Very well. Append for your sins and be on your way now."
The precious time of his that you have wasted, when it could’ve been dedicated to granting forgiveness to those who desperately needed it, accumulated over time. Five minutes spent with you could’ve been five minutes less his day had to drag out relaying forgiveness to the Harmony.
You could tell that he recognized your voice. He must be speaking between a clenched jaw every time he listened to your pointless confession. However, he couldn’t deny you this service. It would be rather improper of him to do so, especially in front of so many onlookers awaiting their turn. God forbid others get the wrong impression that their sin is far too grave to be confessed, otherwise, his dearly valued guests would be living in fear of the Harmony, rather than embracing THEIR forgiveness.
He just needed one day where you were his sole client so that he had the opportunity to tell you to utilize his time wisely. That way, he could use any means necessary to rid himself of you, should it come down to such a thing. Even if it did take him a little bit of forceful intervention.
A slow day of confessions was precisely what you were seeking as well. With no one in the vicinity to catch wind of your words, you would finally be able to confess your ultimate sin to him. A sin arguably greater than the combination of everything confessed to him thus far.
During a rather quiet system hour, no one could be seen awaiting their turn for a confession. The coast appeared clear, but one problem remained; you couldn’t tell if he was in there ahead of time, as there was no one around for him to speak to.
If it wasn’t him after all, you could make up something convincing enough to count as a sin, so that whoever was present wouldn’t be the one to dismiss you. The moment you hear that glorious angelic voice, however, that is when you would know to no longer hold back.
You walked up to the confession booth, still keeping your eyes for any last second interlopers. Before you could open your mouth, a voice from the other side of the booth spoke to you.
"Let’s get this over with. What is it now?" he said.
It was most certainly him.
"Sunday," you said, leaning in closer, "I have made…a mistake. A mistake far graver than any prior ‘blunder’ of mine."
In an instant, a pair of glowing yellow eyes turned to face toward you from inside the booth. They were wide open with fury, and his pupils narrowed with intense focus. The speed in which he turned around to glare at you caused you to flinch, but the window still served as a safeguard between you and him. The inside of the booth remained dark, at least from your perspective, so you couldn’t get a good look at Sunday’s face. The glow from his eyes dimly lit up his face, just enough to make it evident that he was not in the most pleasant mood.
"Speak," he said, with a hint of a growl to his voice.
"I have come seeking forgiveness not from Xipe, but from you, personally.”
"From me?"
"Indeed, as I have been misguided by my own selfish desires, and so a multitude of small mishaps have converged into a far greater sin of mine.”
"On with it. Make your time here actually worth something for once."
You leaned in closer to whisper.
"This sin of mine is perhaps one of the deadliest, but I have a feeling you are no stranger to such things, yes? I desire you, Sunday, above all else.”
All of that wasted time, minutes that accumulated into hours, hours that accumulated into days, just for a chance to have him within reach? Sunday thought that in his time overseeing such matters that by now, he would’ve heard it all. Adultery, polyamory, uncontrollable lust, the list goes on, but never had he encountered someone bold enough to confess a sin directly involving him in such way.
And it just had to be from one of his most irritating clients. Thankfully, no one would be around to see him finally taking steps eradicate this thorn in his side.
Sunday ripped down the only line of defense between you two, the light from outside now fully illuminating the beast-like expression on his face. He had an inhuman sense of insanity about him, a demeanor far different than the normally calm Halovian that had become one of the most beloved icons of Penacony. There was pure frustration, no, fury in his eyes, and his jaw was clenched which such might that you thought that he could snap a tooth at any moment. Before you could even begin to move out of the way, Sunday lounged forward and grabbed your shirt by the collar, pulling you halfway into the confessional booth. It was dimly lit, though you could still see the glow of his rabid eyes and the snarl on his face.
"I believe you have gravely misinterpreted the type of confessions that are to be made to the Aeon of Harmony.”
"I have? Didn’t I confess my greatest sin to you just now?”
"This isn’t a sin. It’s a bloody hookup! Belittling the meaning of the word under the Harmony!" Sunday said, pulling you up closer.
"And this is how you treat those honorable enough to come forward. A pity," you said, smirking at him.
"This is how I treat the filth that tarnish what Xipe stands for!" he said, his grip on you tightening.
"Oh, so anyone with a tinge of sin are filth in your eyes? All of your beloved people whole walk Penacony are no better than discarded trash, one way or another? And here I was thinking that an angel like you would know better."
Sunday was very quickly being driven to his wit’s end. After all, with his mask thrown away long ago, he had no reason to hold back, meaning he could escalate things quickly if he so desired.
And escalate he desired, as that meant dealing with you swiftly.
He pushed you back so that for a brief moment, you regained your footing outside of the booth, but he quickly yanked your collar down so that your head was on the surface where the bars once stood between you. With his other hand, he pinned your back down, so that you were left with no easy means of escape.
"If you don’t straighten up right this instant, I’ll show you want a real sin looks like," he snarled.
"That makes you no better than the rest of them. You’re expecting your Aeon to be so forgiving of THEIR own messenger, when he has a clouded perception of what is right and what is wrong?"
Sunday took a deep breath, as if he was attempting compose himself, but his frustration still clearly remained. Much to your surprise, he completely let go of you. He stood tall and adjusted his jacket.
"...It would be inappropriate of me to stain such a sacred place with blood," he huffed.
Sunday gestured for you to stand up.
"Run along now," he said, swatting his hand at you. "I let you off easy this time, but if you know what’s best for you, perhaps you would save the confessing for something more...prominent in the eyes of the Xipe?"
He saw you off with a cheerful smile. Almost too cheerful, for what he had done, or almost done, to you just moments prior.

Stars Racing Past-2
Summary: After managing to escape the phantom on Tatooine, (Y/N), Seb, and Kimi head to Coruscant to meet with the Jedi Council to hopefully allow (Y/N) to become a Jedi and be assigned a teacher.
A/N: Thank you guys so much for the support on the first chapter. I'm really glad people liked it and I can't wait for you guys to read what I've got cooking. While I don't really like taglists, I will have one for this series. I think the max I can tag is 50(ish) people so I will have to cut it off at some point. Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Series Masterlist
~~~
The ship seemed to remain in one piece as it traveled through lightspeed. And with nothing indicating that the hyperdrive would fail, Kimi switched on the autopilot as he and Seb focused on the girl that was now with them. Now that things were calm, she seemed to be processing everything that just happened as her eyes stared at the light rapidly traveling past the ship
 “(Y/N)...” Seb gently said, drawing the girl’s attention to him. “Can you tell us what happened? Why was this person chasing you?”
 “I don’t know. He had come into the store after closing…he…” The girl trailed off.
“Can you tell us exactly what happened?” Seb quietly asked. (Y/N) took a breath and nodded.
 “I was working on repairing my speeder when I heard Mr (L/N) tell a customer to leave. He mentioned the two of you…I thought you guys had come back to get me or sent someone to come get me. But when I peered in… there was just something about this person that felt wrong.”
 “What did you sense from this person?” Kimi asked.
“Sinister…and dark.” (Y/N) said. “He didn’t feel anything like when you guys had come in earlier.”
 “You said that he killed them…did he kill Mr and Mrs (L/N)?” Seb asked. The girl nodded. Her eyes started to water as the scene of the phantom driving his red lighted blade through their chests replayed in her head. 
 “I ran as soon as he saw me. I jumped on my speeder and took off. I didn’t know where I was going at first, I just knew I had to get far away from this…this phantom.”
 “Lucky you were able to find us then.” Kimi said.
“I don’t think it was luck.” Both Seb and (Y/N) said. Seb looked at the girl perplexed. 
 “What do you mean by that?” He asked
“I..I felt something. I don’t know how to really describe it, but I felt something guiding me in a certain direction. It led me to you guys.”
Seb smiled. 
 “I knew The Force would make our paths cross again.” He said. (Y/N) tried to mirror Seb’s sentiment, but her mind kept going back to the phantom.
“Who…who was that person that chased me. What did he want with me?” (Y/N) asked.
“He was a Sith.” Kimi said. Seb looked at him with concern.
 “Are you sure? The Sith hadn’t been seen in ages.”
“Everything about him screamed Sith, from his lightsaber to the way he fought.” Kimi said. “I don’t think this was a random occurrence.”
 “What do you mean?”
“On a previous mission, I was investigating rumors of potential dark side activity. I didn’t have enough evidence to warrant bringing this matter up to the council. But now I think we should.” Kimi said.
 “What’s a Sith?”(Y/N) asked. 
“Dark side Force users.” Kimi said. (Y/N) still looked confused. Seb kneeled down next to her to be eye level.
 “There are two sides of the Force. There’s the light side that the Jedi use to try and bring peace, and there’s the dark side that the Sith use for conflict and nefarious purposes. Before the age of The High Republic, the Jedi and Sith would fight constantly before most of the Sith were wiped out and hadn’t been seen since.” Seb explained.
 “But it seems like they may be trying to come back or rise to power.” Kimi said.
“What would the Sith want with me?” (Y/N) asked. “I’m…I’m just a slave.”
 “You’re not a slave. You’re so much more than just a person.” Seb said, gently clasping the girl’s hands. “(Y/N)...I believe that you can become an exceptional Jedi. You seem to be well in tune with The Force. I saw you use it in the shop, and you were able to channel it to help you find us. You seem to have a much better grasp on it than any other untrained force sensitive person I’ve come across.”
 The girl was silent for a couple moments.
“Are the stories true? That the Jedi fight for the good of others? Bring peace to the galaxy?” She asked.
 “Yes. The Jedi stand to be guardians of peace and justice. We use the light side of the Force to help protect and fight for others who can’t. And you could be that kind of person…” Seb explained. “But I also don’t want to pressure you into coming with us back to the Jedi Temple.
 “Considering the circumstances, you’re no longer a slave.” Kimi said.
“He’s right. You’re free now to do whatever you want, go wherever you want to go.” Seb said.
 “But that Sith we encountered will still try to come after you.”
“Kimi’s unfortunately right about that too. Whatever the Sith may have wanted with you, it’s not good. You would be safer with us back at The Temple. But again, I leave the decision up to you.” 
(Y/N) looked back towards the flying stars, taking in all that was said. Seb and Kimi were right, she was free. She could make her own choices now.
 “I’ll come with you. I want to train to be a Jedi and fight for those that can’t.” (Y/N) said. Seb smiled.
 “That’s wonderful to hear.” He said. 
(Y/N) smiled. Seb looked like he believed in her. That’s the first time someone has looked at her that way.
 “Don’t get too excited, Seb.” Kimi said. “We still have to meet with The Council about this matter. They may think she’s too old to start training as it goes against The Code.”
Seb didn’t seem deterred by Kimi’s words.
“I have faith that they’ll make the right decision. Besides, we'll have to inform the Council about our encounter with a Sith. I think once they hear about that, they’ll see how important the matter is.” Seb said. 
The time traveling to Coruscant wasn’t long, but it took enough time for (Y/N) to doze off, the events of the past few hours finally catching up to her. When she woke, she was met with blue sky and the sight of city skylines.
 “Have you ever been to a planet like Coruscant?” Seb asked when he noticed the girl was awake. (Y/N) shook her head.
“I’ve lived on Tatooine for most of my life.” She said. 
(Y/N) tried to take in all the new sights as Kimi piloted the SF-16. She watched as other smaller ships flew past various buildings and apartments. There seemed to be so much hustle and bustle in Coruscant. A stark contrast to Tatoonie. Eventually the SF-16 flew towards a giant structure that seemed to stick out compared to everything else in the city. It had various towers while looking very square. (Y/N) could tell that this was The Jedi Temple that Seb and Kimi kept mentioning.
Kimi piloted the ship onto a landing pad and the three began to disembark.
The ship door opened and (Y/N) was hit with a blast of cool air and no humidity as she followed Seb and Kimi off the ship. Now seeing the Temple up close, it was way more imposing with an almost wing-like symbol displayed on banners that hang from the front.
A young man greeted the three of them as they made their way closer to the temple entrance. He wore the same clothes as Seb and Kimi, minus the robe, and had short blonde hair with one long braided strand.
“Master Vettel! You're back! How were the negotiations?” The man said. 
 “We had some complications. Could you alert the Council of our arrival. There are matters we need to discuss with them.” Seb said.
 “Certainly.” The young man said. He turned around and started to hurry off.
(Y/N) followed Seb and Kimi past the entrance and into the temple proper.  Various people greeted Seb and Kimi as they walked past while also giving curious glances towards (Y/N). (Y/N) tried to stick close to Seb, not wanting to draw any attention herself while also trying to take in all her surroundings. The temple was big and open with high arching ceilings and architecture (Y/N) had never seen before. Some of the adults that passed by were accompanied by kids (Y/N)’s age, having the same braid as the young man that greeted them at the entrance. And the atmosphere of everything, it felt the same to (Y/N) as when Seb and Kimi first walked into the repair shop but multiplied by 10.
It felt both safe and suffocating at the same time.
Soon the three of them made it to a set of tall double doors with the same intricate symbol as the ones on the banners. The young man that greeted them when they landed stood in front of the doors and smiled at Seb as they approached. 
 “They’re inside ready to meet you.” He said.
“Thank you Mick. Will you wait out here for me? I need to talk to you about some things regarding your training.” Seb told him. Mick nodded. 
Standing in front of the big doors, (Y/N) suddenly felt very nervous. The idea of having to meet with people only referred to as “The Council” seemed very nerve wracking to the young girl. Seb seemed to notice this as he placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder.
“I just want to reassure you that there is nothing to worry about. The Council may seem intimidating to you at first, but they aren’t.” Seb said. 
 “I was intimidated by them when I first met them.” The young man, Mick, said. He gave (Y/N) a reassuring smile. (Y/N) tried to give one in return but she was pretty sure that nervousness still showed on her face. 
“You can stand by Kimi while I talk with The Council. I don’t think I’ll have to do much convincing to have them allow you to become part of The Order, but they may ask you a couple questions.” He said. “Are you ready?”
(Y/N) took a deep breath to try and steal her nerves. 
 “Yes.” She said, Seb smiled and nodded his head before opening the door. 
The circular room was much smaller than (Y/N) expected it to be. 
Nine chairs were arranged in a circle that took up most of the room. All of the seats except for two had someone sitting in it: Men dressed in the same attire as Seb and Kimi. 
Most of them greeted Seb with a smile but all of them seemed to look at (Y/N) once she stepped into the room. She moved closer to Kimi, almost trying to hide behind him.
“Master Vettel. It’s good to see both you and Master Räikkönen back in one piece. Master Alonso informed us that the negotiations with the Trade Federation didn’t seem to go well.” Master Webber, one of Seb’s fellow councilmen, spoke. Seb nodded his head.
 “You are correct, Master Webber. The Trade Federation was not up for negotiations in the slightest. We tried to have an open discussion with them but after a couple minutes the Leader left the room and me and Kimi were soon swarmed by battle droids. We had to fight our way out of there and during our ship’s retreat, the hyperdrive ended up being damaged, causing us to crash land on Tatooine.” Seb explained.
 “Seems you may have picked something up while on Tatooine.” Master Ricciardo said, glancing behind Seb at (Y/N). He wore a friendly smile, but (Y/N) couldn’t help but try to make herself seem smaller due to nerves.
“We encountered a member of the Sith while on Tatooine.” Kimi said. Some of the men looked at each other with either confusion or concern.
 “The Sith haven't been seen in ages.” Master Bottas said.
“What was a potential Sith doing on Tatooine.” Master Rosberg asked.
 “That was the other matter I wished to discuss with you. I had mentioned to Master Alonso earlier that me and Master Räikkönen believe that we have found The Chosen.” Seb said. He turned around and gestured to (Y/N) to come join him in the center of the room. (Y/N) quietly walked over and stood next to Seb. The tone in the room seemed to shift once (Y/N) stood before them, as if they could sense something she couldn’t. (Y/N) wished she could be as small as possible with all these sets of eyes on her. 
 “What’s your name, young one?” Master Webber asked the girl. 
“(Y/N).”  She quietly said.
“You’re from Tatoonie?” He asked. (Y/N) shook her head. 
 “No. I was sold on Tatooine. I don’t know what planet I'm originally from.”
 “You were a slave?” A different man asked. He had darker skin and wore his hair in braids. The girl nodded.
“(Y/N) said that the trader who sold her only dealt with Force sensitive. That’s a matter I feel we should discuss as well but at a later time." Seb chimed in. 
 “How old are you?” Master Webber asked her.
“11.” That answer caused some of the men to whisper to each other. (Y/N) tried not to think about what Kimi had said earlier about her possibly being too old to join The Order.
 “How old were you when you were sold?” The man with braids asked.( (Y/N) would learn later he’s addressed as Master Hamilton)
“Five.” She told him. Master Webber took in the girl’s appearance, how she stood and how her hands fidgeted with the hem of her shirt to try and ease her nerves. But (Y/N) felt that he was trying to sense something else.
 “(Y/N), with all that's happened to you in the past hours, you don't seem to be upset about being away from what was your home planet.” He said. (Y/N)’s face seemed to harden at his observation.
 “Tatoonie never felt like home. Neither did the people who owned me.” She said, her voice now at an even and clear volume.
“So you have no attachments to the life that you had on Tatooine?”
(Y/N) didn’t need to think hard about that question. The people she belonged to were dead. She never made any real friends on that planet and besides repairing old speeders, she felt there was nothing to call her back to Tatooine. 
 “No. There’s nothing left for me back on Tatooine.” She said firmly. Master Webber looked to Seb
 “You think she should join the Order.” Master Webber. It didn’t sound like a question, more so like Master Webber already knew Seb’s intentions.
“She’s too old.”Master Rosberg said.  “She hasn’t been taught the proper teachings like every youngling must learn.”
 “I understand that but I’ve seen how she uses The Force and how she’s been able to channel it. I believe if given time, proper training, and a good teacher, she can become a great Jedi.” Seb explained. (Y/N) wanted to smile at Seb’s words, but as she took them in, she also remembered that Seb had referred to as “The Chosen" earlier. (Y/N) wanted to know what he meant by that. It sounded like something with high expectations.
The men broke out into whispers amongst each other as they debated on what decision to make. Seb looked down at (Y/N) and gave her a reassuring smile and her shoulder a gentle squeeze. It comforted her a bit.
“The Council has decided…” Master Webber spoke after a few more moments of hushed whispers. “...that despite her age and considering the circumstances, (Y/N) will be allowed to join The Order and train in the ways of The Jedi.”
Both (Y/N) and Seb seemed to let out a relieved breath.
“Master Räikkönen will be her teacher.” Master Webber said. Kimi cleared his throat, having stayed at the back of the room the whole time.
 “With all due respect, the missions I go on are not fit for a padawan.” He said.
 “I’d be happy to take her on as my padawan.” Seb said.
“You already have a padawan Master Vettel. You can not take on another one.” Master Button said.
 “I believe that Mick is ready to take on the trials to become a Jedi Knight. I’ve trained him for many years and feel he is prepared to handle his own missions.” Seb said. A few of the Council men glanced at each other.
“The Council has seen Padawan Schumacher’s progress. While he has learned and grown over the years with his abilities regarding The Force since becoming your padawan, recent months have cast doubt on if he is ready to become a Knight. Unfortunately we will have to deny your request.” Master Webber said.
 “Not to mention that there are more younger Jedi Knights who are ready to take on padawans. I understand that with you believing that this girl is the Chosen one, that she should have a more experienced teacher, but The Council have not yet seen anything from her that truly proves so. Therefore she will be treated like every new padawan that comes into the Jedi Order.” Master Alonso explained. Seb nodded his head.
 “I understand.” He said, hiding his disappointment inside. “If that is the case…then I believe I may know of a suitable teacher for (Y/N).”
~~~
The sounds of lightsabers clashing echoed throughout the training room as Seb entered. Once the council meeting had ended, Seb had asked Mick to show (Y/N) to what would be her new living quarters while Seb headed to the training room to look for a certain Jedi Knight. One or two people training greeted Seb as he entered, but most were engrossed in the sparring match that was happening in the middle of the room. 
Two young men were engaged in a fierce lightsaber duel. One had dark blonde hair and wielded a blue lightsaber with intensity. His opponent deflected the hits with his own two green lightsabers. They seemed evenly matched, each deflecting hits that came their way. One may suspect that the young man wielding two lightsabers would have the upper hand, but a subtle feint and quick force powered shove from the dark blonde sent the brown haired young man he was fighting down to the ground, dropping one of his sabers. 
“I win this one Charles.” The dark blonde young man said as he held his lightsaber in front, almost as if stopping the brunette from getting up. But the two smiled at each other and the blonde lowered his lightsaber to offer Charles a hand up. Those around that watched the sparring match applauded the two of them. Seb included.
 “Max!” Seb called out. The dark blonde turned and, after giving Charles a pat on the shoulder, walked over to the Jedi Master.
 “Yes, Master Vettel?”
“I know we haven’t spoken about this matter in a while but I wanted to know if you still had your objections about taking on a padawan?”
 “Like I’ve said before Master Vettel, I don’t think it would be fit for me to take on a padawan. I’m-”
 “-not a good teacher. I know, you’ve said that multiple times. However, I’ve just met with the council regarding an important matter.” Seb said. 
 “The Council can’t assign me a padawan. I have to be the one to choose.” Max said.
“I know that, but we think you and her would be a good pairing. You know what it’s like to have high expectations placed upon you.” Seb said. Max gave him a confused look.
 “What do you mean by that exactly?”
“Come with me. I think this matter should be discussed somewhere more private.”
(Y/N) should expect that everything on Coruscant was going to be better than what she had on Tatooine. Yet she was still surprised by the living quarters that Mick showed her. The room had a proper bed with a mattress (Y/N) felt she could sink right into, a window with a view looking out at the Coruscant skyline, and a closet filled with garb like the ones everyone in the temple was wearing. It was all so much more than (Y/N) ever had.
(Y/N) didn’t hesitate in changing from her old, Tatoonie clothing into a fresh set of tunic and pants, throwing her old pair into a trash can without hesitation. The clothes fit perfectly, like they were meant to. She caught a glimpse of herself in the window’s reflection. Her hair was still messy and there was still some dirt and sand left smudged on her face, but everything else she saw looked nice, looked new. 
“This is different.” She thought to herself. “This place feels safe.”
She looked again at her new living quarters. (Y/N) assumed that she was supposed to wait for Seb or someone else to come get her. But after traveling with Seb and Kimi for the past couple hours and having to meet with The Council, (Y/N) finally had some time to herself. And even though (Y/N) could spend hours on end sitting by the window staring at the skyline, there was a whole Temple to explore. And that’s what she was going to do.
~~~
At the moment, (Y/N) had no idea where in the temple she was. Honestly she should have expected this, being in a big and elaborate building she’s never been in before. (Y/N) had managed to find the temple’s library, mess hall, and the same entrance she had entered in with Seb and Kimi. But in trying to find her way back to her living quarters, (Y/N) seemed to have gotten a bit turned around. 
 ‘Maybe if I double back and try and retrace my steps-’
(Y/N)’s thought process was interrupted as she accidentally bumped into the back of someone.
 “Oh, sorry about that.” (Y/N) apologized as the person turned around. It was a boy about her age, with brunette hair and brown eyes. He wasn’t alone, as a blonde boy with blues stood behind. Both of them had the same singular braid in their hair that Mick had.
 “No worries.” The brunette boy said. His voice had the same accent as Master Webber. He looked at (Y/N) with curiosity. “Are you new? I’ve never seen you around The Temple before.” The brunette boy said. 
“Oh, yea I’m new...just arrived today.” (Y/N) told him. The boy smiled. 
“I’m Oscar. This is Logan.” The brunette boy held out one of his hands for (Y/N) to shake. (Y/N) shook it and held out her hand for the blonde boy to shake. He hesitated before shaking her hand with one of his gloved ones. 
 “It’s nice to meet you Oscar, Logan. I’m (Y/N)”. She said, “I was trying to explore around but ended up getting a bit lost.”
 “It is a bit hard to find your way around this place when you first get here.” Logan said.
“Well me and Logan were gonna head to the training ground. Maybe we could show you parts of the temple on the way there, if you want to join us.” Oscar said.
 “Sure. That would be great!” (Y/N) said.
Following the two boys, Oscar and Logan showed (Y/N) parts of the temple she had missed, like some of the teaching rooms and outdoor atrium. Just as she was about to follow Oscar and Logan into the training room, someone called her name.
“(Y/N)!” It was Seb, who walked over with someone in tow. (Y/N) waved goodbye to Oscar and Logan before walking over to meet Seb.
“I was wondering where you may have wandered off to.” Seb said. “I have someone I want you to meet.”
The girl standing before Max wasn’t what he expected. Master Vettel had told him how he thought Max would be the perfect fit to train someone who was expected to become a great Jedi, that there was some prophecy involved with the person he was supposed to train. 
 “Max, this is (Y/N), she just arrived today. (Y/N), this is Jedi Knight Max Verstappen.” Seb said, introducing the two. The girl, (Y/N) as Seb introduced her, had started fidgeting with one of her sleeves as soon as she walked over. But she seemed to steel herself and held out a hand for Max to shake. It had smudges of dirt and a bit of dried oil left on it.
 “It’s nice to meet you.” She said. Max shook his hand.
As soon as their fingers touched, Max felt The Force wrap around him, as if it was trying to tell him something. He tried to steel himself, and hone in on the feeling. And he found that it was coming from the girl in front of him. Did the girl feel it too? Max couldn’t tell as she pulled her hand away. He did the same.
 “I was just discussing with Max on how I think he would be a good teacher for you and that you would make a good padawan for him to train.” Seb said to (Y/N). “However the decision does come down to Max, so I thought it would be best for you two to at least meet before any decisions are made.”
Max didn’t think he was the type of person that would be a good teacher, that he wasn’t fit to train a padawan. He’s admitted multiple times that he’d rather spend his time training and going on missions where he could use his lightsaber a plenty than be in the temple teaching a youngling the ways of The Force.
But there’s something about the girl in front of him. Not only with The Force but with just everything about her. Max looked at (Y/N) and saw his younger self staring back.
 “Now Max, you don’t need to make a decision now, but I advise that you and (Y/N) try to get to know each other before-”
 “I'll do it.” Max said, interrupting Seb. Seb looked at Max with surprise.
“Really? “That’s wonderful to hear!” Seb said, now smiling. “Well my previous suggestion still stands that the two of you should get to know each other before you guys start training. I'll leave you to it.”
Seb gave (Y/N) a reassuring pat on her shoulder and a nod to Max before walking away, leaving the pair alone. The two stared at each other.
“So I assume I address you as Master Verstappen?” (Y/N) asked. Max grimaced.
 “Don't call me that. Max is fine.” He said. (Y/N) could now pick up that Max spoke with an accent, one she had never heard before. “Have you eaten at all since you’ve got here?”
(Y/N) shook her head, now realizing how long it had been since she had last eaten.
 “Well I can show you the dining hall and we can talk, “get to know each other” as Master Vettel said. Is that ok?”
 “Yea, sure. I’m starving.”
Through the windows of the dining hall, (Y/N) could see the sun slowly setting on the Coruscant skyline. After putting various food on her tray, (Y/N) followed Max as he led her to a more secluded part of the dining hall.
As she followed though, (Y/N) couldn’t help but notice the various stares or hushed whispers from people as they passed.
 “Is that Verstappen…with a youngling?”
“Verstappen said he would never take on a padawan.”
 “Do you think The Council forced him to take on one?”
Max took a seat at one of the tables tucked into the corner. (Y/N) sat across from him and looked down at her food.  
“Master Vettel told me you lived on Tatooine. I’ve never been to that planet. What’s it like there?” Max asked. While Max was trying to skirt around the unfortunate circumstance the girl was in before she was found by Sebastian and Kimi, Max still wanted to try and get to know the girl. So he thought asking about the planet where (Y/N) grew up would be a safe question to ask.
 “Hot. Sandy. Hot and Sandy is the only way to really describe it.” (Y/N) said with a neutral face as she poked at the food in front of her.
“What was your favorite thing to do there?” Max asked. (Y/N) took a bite of her food and smiled a bit. 
 “Trying to repair an old speeder that someone left behind.” (Y/N) said. “A bunch of races are held almost every month on Tatooine. I was hoping to get it fixed and enter some of the races. Win enough money to get me off the planet.”
 “I prefer racing ships over speeders. A lot more action and opportunity.” Max said. (Y/N) looked at him curiously.
“Is that what I’ll be able to do at some point? Pilot a ship and race it past the stars?” (Y/N) asked. Piloting was something (Y/N) always wanted to learn. Properly. She learned bits and pieces from the pilots that would come into the shop for parts or repairs, but (Y/N) always wanted to learn how to fly a ship. Probably to better her chances of getting off Tattoonie. But (Y/N) no longer had to worry about that.
 “Maybe. What I’m supposed to do is teach you how to harness The Force.” Max said. “But you are my padawan, so I can teach you things The Council may not want you to learn when you’re just starting out.” Max said, giving the girl a slight mischievous grin. (Y/N) couldn’t help but smile back. 
After the two had finished eating, Max walked (Y/N) back to her living quarters. Whispers and stares seemed to follow them as they walked and (Y/N) tried to brush it off. 
 “We’ll start your training tomorrow morning.” Max said as they stopped at the door to (Y/N)’s living quarters. “I know it may feel strange sleeping in an unfamiliar place but try to get some proper sleep. I’ll see you in the morning.”
 “Ok. Goodnight.” (Y/N) watched Max walk away. As he passed by a group of younglings with braids in their hairs, they looked at Max with awestruck faces. But he didn’t pay them any attention. (Y/N) remembered what she felt when she and Max first shook hands. Something seemed to pull her towards Max, The Force trying to tell her that something about him was important. She couldn’t help but wonder…who exactly did Seb assign as her teacher?

When was the last time I made a text post??? Long time ago I guess
Anyway please stop sending me death threats and messages to kms I am mentally ill and at risk of self harm. this is crazy I e been on this site for over a decade and never had anything like this happen before.
Not tagging anyone or anything specific but if this has to do with art I posted recently idk what to tell you I am not on other social media platforms so idk what is going on
But at this point idc if people are going to act this way I suppose the safest thing to do is step away until everyone is calmed down
I apologize for the vague post but I’m not trying to start anything all the messages I got were anon and I haven’t replied to any of them, I guess some people are mad because I made art of Käärijä recently? People are mad at him I guess . I posted my art a while ago so I’m not really sure what has happened
Anyway for my own safety I am taking a break from Tumblr because this is a crazy thing to suddenly be told to die in my messages. Like I said I am a high risk mentally ill person who is also struggling with health issues rn and it has made me very depressed. I don’t know what to do other than try and not think about this event
I see in tags that ESC was boycotting I don’t watch because I am in America and they don’t stream it there, I watched last years but not the entire thing so I don’t know if I missed something in it? I had no intention of watching maybe only clips or peoples highlights reels truthfully I don’t have the energy to sit through a long show like that anyway
I see in tags that this is because of Israel competing and I also am mad about that I just don’t know what I personally did to warrant some people’s anger??? I don’t watch the show I made my art many days ago I don’t even get what is going on???
As I said that the beginning I haven’t made a text post in a long time I don’t really interact with anyone here so I don’t know what I even did wrong????
Please stop sending me hateful thing s I haven’t even said anything to anyone in this fandom, all I do it read the nice reblogs from people in my tags on my art I am too nervous to talk to anyone anyway
I feel like crying I’m so sorry if I hurt peoples feelings I swear I’m not trying to do anything except draw pictures of things I like and ideas in my head. I have been so happy seeing people like my art and this is like a huge shift from people and it’s really scary
Sorry if this post is long and rambling and confusing I am feeling very sick and am not okay mentally

Do you have an Ao3 or anywhere you posted your fanfic, I particularly loved the one with Link having a vision of the goddess from a bathing scene you drew
wowww someone who remembers THAT!! nah i dont have ao3 i dont write long fics enough to warrant it i think... even this was just a little vignette that got long...
i wanted to redo the arte that went with it because its old and i dont like it anymore, im not even sure if i like this writing anymore either but if you'd like to read it here: link's goofy boy thoughts
Tumblr media
If he hadn’t been him, she certainly would have bested him. However, the blade goes flying out of her hands. Disarmed. 
He wasn’t going to let her win. That would be insincere. 
He was lucky. Or cursed. Or blessed. Whichever way anyone wanted to look at it. He was the chosen master of the blade. Even the best men from across the land didn’t stand a chance against him. They never could. Long before he was teaching the princess how to fight. Long before she had him on the ground. Long before he sent the blade flying from her hands. 
She did excellent today, if only she wasn’t who she is, she could certainly join him on the battlefield. 
His face is very warm and it isn’t just because of the physical exertion. He thinks about it as he catches his breath. Yeah, he liked the idea of that, a lot…
His father told him he met his mother on the battlefield and she was always there. She was a medic. She made some of the best potions one could get… and, which he didn’t really need to know, made him too. His grandmother told him he was always destined to be a warrior, due to being conceived on the battlefield. The thing that did her in was him. He killed her. As his sister often reminded him… He was too young to understand. All he could do was apologize. His father said it wasn’t his fault. Those things just happen. It still hurt, and it would always be one of the burdens that kept him silent. What if that happened to the princess..? And how would that even happen…? He’s thinking of quite a lot he ought not to be. 
It would be so much easier if he only had eyes for men… He realized he admires the strength and beauty they possess as well. He couldn’t advert his thoughts from some of his fellow soldiers… This really isn’t what he should be thinking of either. 
He watches her. Women are quite wonderful to think about and look at as well. Her long hair tied up, a mess now. Her face was red and she was soaked with sweat… He watched her remove the heavy pieces of armor. Was it inappropriate to watch? He grows warm again and had better sit up. His admiration was going to make itself visibly apparent. He tries to think of anything else, or look at something else. He adjusts his clothing… awkwardly. He isn’t a child anymore, he had recently pulled the blade from the forest again. Berated by the princess’s blue bird friend. He can just imagine what he would say about him training her in combat… That took care of that. 
“I suppose I’ll never best you…” She says, she doesn’t say it sadly. Or angrily. She had grown much kinder towards the young man. She was trying to convince her blue bird friend that he was indeed a valuable asset, and he need not doubt him. Asinine, is what he had to say about that. It’s what he said about most things. She would have agreed even just a few weeks prior to him claiming the blade again. She remembers him as a child. He was weird, tiny, and possessed absolutely no social grace. He either mumbled so low you couldn’t understand a word he said, or shouted it so loud you couldn’t understand a word he said. He didn’t know how to bow. He could never address anyone by their proper title. There was no place for him in any kind of court, and she thought it just as asinine as her blue bird friend that her father appointed him to look after her. He was nothing like his father. He was Stoic. Poised. A proper knight…
She smiles at him. Looking at him looking away awkwardly and so obviously flustered by her. Trying to hide it with his hands in his lap. She had began to realize that recklessness and free spirit was something she enjoyed about him. He had been teaching her how to fight, afterall. If her father knew… 
He looks up at her. Oh, she definitely has bested him… Perhaps, just not in combat. He picks up the blade again and uses it to pull himself off the ground. Maybe she had in combat too… He’s definitely sore. He could use a good meal or a nap. Both would be nice. That recklessness was turning to reservation. He had felt quite a deal of pressure upon him now being in possession of the blessed blade again. The one he found as a child. The one who sang the most beautiful, and tragic song he ever heard. A voice he hadn’t been able to part with since he parted with it. Since it was returned to the forest. His soul was bound to it and without it he felt loneliness he had never felt before. A heartache that cut deep. Plunged into his chest. Tethered. Aching. Crying. Alone. Pleading for time to past quickly day after day so that he would reunite with it again. His youth lost. Training was the only distraction… and the princess. She soothed the voice. It was quiet when she was around. It was forged by the goddess she was trying to evoke within herself… perhaps that was why. She felt his pain. The loneliness. All the hands that have held it. The flesh it cut. Darkness it vanquished. It saw death. 
It’s quiet, now. It was not the blade he used to train with the princess, it was only to be used in the proper circumstance. He rests his hands atop the pommel of the one he used with her. Pressing it into the ground and nodding in response. He’s quiet now, too. Not a mumble. Not a shout. He no longer spoke at all. Only nodding yes or no. Like a proper knight. He was not here to be her friend and he cursed himself for thinking and feeling things about her. Impure, inappropriate things. Treason. He was sworn to servitude. Keeping the princess from harm. Not courtship. 
“Well… don’t worry about it. I’m not coming for your title as a master swordsman…” She didn’t see it that way. There was nothing impure or inappropriate here. The women in the desert got to choose their partners. She ought to do the same. He’s cute. She doesn’t want anyone else to have him. Yet, part of her still felt resentment towards him. The way everything worked out for him. Sometimes she wanted to apologize for treating him so awfully… She wished she could get him to speak. What would it take? She stares at him. Standing there. He would cut his own throat if her father ordered him to. He’s just as drenched as she is. Both of them were filthy and there was no way they could return to the castle like this. 
There was a body of water they visited after each of their lessons to wash up. Really only for her to wash up. He didn’t look. He stood with his back to her, on guard, of course. His job. He’d splash his face and fix his hair, at least. Making sure his fingernails are clean. He typically bathed with the men… It would be suspicious and unusual for him to take multiple baths. Nobody would know they were here, though. 
“Maybe you ought to get in too…” She says, looking at the back of his head. His roughed up hair, dust all down the back of his clothes. “You’re going to have to do something… You’re really dirty this time and you know you’re not going to be in good graces entering the castle like that…” She wants to laugh. He won’t. “Is it… only men you desire?” She isn’t stupid, either. She’s heard things. She giggles. She bets his face is very red now.
Indeed it is. His eyes grow wide. Desire? He didn’t desire anyone. He couldn’t. It went against his oath. He was sworn to servitude. To the kingdom. Of course that did not stop anyone else… Soldiers loved their whores. There was nothing wrong with that, he supposed. Apparently that was how the man he was the supposed reincarnation and… a distant relative…? or something came to be. A romance between a soldier and a lady of the night. However, she could not raise a child and he was orphaned. He lived the rest of his days in a small village, far from the castle town and in the woods. He had never been with anyone. Not even a kiss. He had opportunities. Lots of people thought he was cute. He didn’t want it. All he did was think about it. Lately, an embarrassing amount. What he would do if he could actually flirt back… It doesn’t matter. He sighs heavily and tightens his grip atop the blade as he rest his hands atop it. Staying firm in his position and unwavering. No speaking. He made this rule up himself. He is not here to be a friend. Her question is inappropriate, anyway. 
He is becoming more like his father. Her smile drops and she shakes her head before leaning back in the water to wet her hair. Massaging her scalp with her fingers. It’s sad. They were such sad people. His father spent more time with her than his own children. He only took his son to tournaments in which he’d fight. As a child. He hated the way her own father pushed her with his beliefs, but what about the way he exploited his son? She brings her head up. She wishes he wasn’t here. Not because she despises his presence anymore, but for the same reasons she wished she wasn’t here. No expectations. Nobody to answer to. 
“What would you do?” She says. Without those things. “What would you do, if you could do whatever you please… Would you want to look at me…? Lie your eyes on what you’ve been told you’re not allowed to see…?” 
Her words burn his ears. He feels her eyes on him. His heart pounds. He just wants to be good. 
But that recklessness rears itself now and again.
It definitely went against his duty to spar with her. She could hurt herself, and that went against his duty to keep her from harm.
It definitely went against it as he begins to turn, slowly. He looks at her. She’s beautiful. His eyes take their time meeting hers. She’s sitting on the edge of the water. Her skin glistening wet. She glows. She looks unreal. Like the goddess. He drops to his knee. He can’t help it. He saw her when he pulled the blade. He saw eons ago. He saw the goddess. A demon. A curse. A child born to hold the blade. As long as it exists, all these things would too. He does. He exists for her. “I—I serve… only you. I would not exist otherwise… I can not be in a world where I may do as I please…” He mouths these words in a hush whisper. An affirmation. An affirmation to the goddess. She rest inside the girl before him. The voice knows. It tells him. She hears him.
“Come to me…” She says, standing. Her arms stretch out and she stands. 
He lifts his head and opens his eyes. He doesn’t see her. He sees the horizon before him, the castle not too far off in the distance. His back was still to the water. He blinks a few times. “Okay, go clean yourself up and let’s go.” She says. The princess. She stood before him now. In proper clothing. Not armor. Not in the bare flesh. He rubs his eyes and nods. 
He must have fallen asleep while standing there.
He only takes his gear off and his top and shakes out the dirt, then sits beside the edge of the water. Thinking about what he saw. The voice he heard. She was right here. He stares into the water. It all felt so real. He splashes his face and takes his hair down and shakes it out too and combs his fingers through the tangles. Perhaps he really is just very worn out. He pulls his hair back and dresses again. Taking a moment before pulling the strap that held the blade on his back on. He held it on his lap. Looking down at it. It’s quiet now. He runs his hand down the bright blue and yellow scabbard. 
He wants to see her again. The goddess.

I can't even begin to wrap my mind around the fact that they intentionally made Claude OOC. Like why, under any circumstance, would any developer or writer want to do that to their game? How would that in any way shape or form benefit the game to do that? Can they not hear themselves? Even fanfiction writers get flack for writing characters OOC but then you turn to THE SOURCE and they come out and say that they intentionally wrote a character wrong for the lolz?
The full context of that can be found here (near the end), but to sum it up: they basically did it to showcase what the characters would be like without Byleth/Garreg Mach. In essence, it’s them saying that “they only look out of character, but that’s just because it’s a different environment! they’re totally the same!” To quote them:
"In this game, because of the Officer’s Academy was suspended soon, the students have been taken away the time to bond with allies and the opportunity to understand each other across different houses. That fact had impact on how a lot of the students form their personalities, and thus changed the content of support conversations. If you feel “Huh? I don’t remember this character having this kind of personality…” at some point, that’s exactly the difference caused by the situation of this game."
Which... kind of speaks to their mindset regarding the characters of 3H, and I don't mean to say that in a good way. They basically see some characters COUGHCLAUDECOUGH as having such weak and malleable foundations and personalities that they would completely and utterly change the second the devs' favorite child/monastery is taken out of the picture. They even say it themselves - they MEANT to change the characters' characters, because in their mind (at least, if we take this as being their genuine intention) these characters would genuinely be nothing like they are in 3H were it not for specifically and only Byleth/Garreg Mach.
So, for example: Claude. His curiosity which brought him over to Fodlan in the first place? Byleth and Garreg Mach. His want to know the truth about his surroundings and to broaden his perspective regarding the world around him, which were also partly why he came to Fodlan? Byleth and Garreg Mach. His unwillingness to work with Edelgard, even when Byleth sides with her on CF and thus tacitly approves of her actions and even with Claude distrusting the Church and even with Claude supposedly being an amoral opportunist who sides with whoever looks like the winner? Byleth and Garreg Mach. Hopes and its creators say that without Byleth and Garreg Mach Claude would have never had the traits that he is shown to have before he ever met Byleth or set foot in Garreg Mach. Or are otherwise completely unaffected by Byleth or Garreg Mach. 
To say nothing of the fact that that quote I took from the interview is directly contradicted by... Hopes. By the characters constantly whinin' and cryin' and shiddin' and snottin' about having to fight their classmates - so much for them not bonding with those from different houses, because they literally never act like it. Hell, the one time I can think of where that ever happens is during a specific interaction in SB, on its bad end where Claude betrays the Empire. If you have Ignatz fight Claude, he’ll go on about their time as “fellow Golden Deer” and asks Claude why he’s doing this, to which Claude kinda reasonably responds “Were Golden Deer. Now you’re just another one of Count Gloucester’s lousy knights.” Which, you know, makes sense that Claude’s response is so “cold” considering that Claude has known Ignatz in this timeline as a “fellow Golden Deer” for, like a month? Max? A time in which they literally can’t even have supports with each other even on GW, so they were literally disallowed to grow close to each other in any way during that time? But Claude is portrayed as the asshole in the situation because he did not value his time with the Golden Deer in Garreg Mach. Y’know, that thing in this game that the devs are insisting 
LITERALLY DIDN’T EXIST.
It’s such a blatant case of wanting their cake and eating it too. They wanna say that these personality changes happened because “No Byleth, no Garreg Mach,” meanwhile the characters are unrelenting in their boo-hoo’s about fighting people trying to kill them because they were around said people in Garreg Mach for A MONTH MAX. These personality changes are because they’re just so much worse without Byleth around to guide them or their experiences in Garreg Mach, meanwhile Claude is the only main character (and one of the few characters period) to have his character have such a drastic change be as negative as it is - Dimitri and Edelgard are inarguably better off without Byleth, as Dimitri has a support system that’s actually allowed to interact with him in a meaningful way and Edelgard is described by the devs of Hopes to be happy in this game with everything going well for her (essentially, “We didn’t wanna step on 3H’s toes, also fuck CF in its entirety lol SB is way better for Edelgard”). But “No Byleth/Garreg Mach” is supposed to be a bad thing, but only for specifically Claude evidently, despite him being the most independent from Byleth character wise of the three lords. 
And. Like. A bit of a tangent but. You don’t really want your audience to feel that a character’s personality has ever changed, per se. You more want them to feel as though it’s gone through development in some way, not that it’s outright different unless something extreme happened to them. Like, extreme extreme. Take Dimitri, in 3H: he goes from polite if snarky and dry-humored to becoming far more prone to violence and being very distant from others between pre-timeskip and post-timeskip. But 1) that’s something that’s directly a result of his experiences throughout the story, and can be seen as something that is building up to what it becomes as one goes through the story - it’s not just springed on the player out of nowhere, it makes sense as to why Dimitri is acting differently from Point A to Point B. And 2) in both moments in his character arc, he never hurts innocents, he still recognizes people like Dedue as being deeply important to him, he rarely genuinely forces people to do what he wants more than he does nothing to stop others from following his reckless and dangerous tendencies, he’s actually still compassionate to some degree (noted here to still retain some empathy) - these core things stay the same, even if the character is acting radically different. And because of that, you can understand how he can recover, because he never lost those core traits that made him good. 
Very different from Claude in Hopes, who loses many of the things that make him redeemable despite his faults - his avoiding violence unless necessary, his curiosity, his drive for the truth, a lot of his compassion, his intellect, etc. - in favor of Something Different (aka him acting like Edelgard). Some of those traits (namely his curiosity and drive for the truth) are just never to be seen at any point in Hopes, and other traits (namely his intellect) are discarded whenever the plot needs them to be gone more than there’s a genuine attempt to develop them out of him. Claude really encompasses that difference between “this character developed into being different because of the events of the story and how they affect them” and “this character was changed into being different because them needed to Be Different Than Before.” And because he doesn’t retain those good traits that made him redeemable, his actions come across as far more damning - he has nothing within his character that could reasonably lift him from the rock bottom his actions sink him to, unlike 3H!Dimitri. It’s sad when Dimitri is unable to recover in non-AM routes, because we know that he still has it in him to become better; it’s annoying and off-putting when Clyde is able to walk off what he does in GW/SB (the latter only potentially, to be clear), because there’s nothing that shows he can better himself from what he’s done. 
And, like. You can tell that these writers kind of had no idea what the hell they were doing when making Hopes? Because they say that things are “unsatisfactory” so that 3H wouldn’t be stepped on, meanwhile they do shit like what I mentioned earlier with Edelgard where she’s literally happier in SB than she ever was on CF (with her happiness being something the devs literally said they intended to do). Claude’s tale is supposed to be heartwarming, as his character is torn to shreds and he does things that completely go against everything he’s ever stood for. The war’s not supposed to ever be concluded in Hopes, meanwhile Dimitri literally does end the war on AG’s good end (even with how much Hopes tries to gaslight the player into believing otherwise - sorry game, there’s literally no one else to fight so yes the war is in fact over). Like fuckin’ hell if you told me that each sentence in this game was written by a different person I wouldn’t immediately disbelieve you with how completely nonsensical the story is to the supposed intention of the devs, it’s just so fuckin’ bad
#ask#anon#Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes spoilers#Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes spoilers#focusing on Claude yet again because he remains the character The Most Fucked by this game characterization wise#truly he's a masterclass of:#''just because you changed something doesn't mean something would actually come of that change''#Hopes!Claude and 3H!Claude are literally two entirely different characters. straight up#Hopes!Claude would have sided with Edelgard on CF and would have killed Rhea.#Because in 3H Hopes!Claude would have ACTUAL FOUNDATIONS in his hatred of Rhea. so his want to kill her wouldn't budge at all#(''actual foundations'' = the things that make Rhea a red herring in WC. She'd be doing things that actually warrant suspicion)#He'd never tell Dimitri where Rhea was being held because he'd think Rhea being disposed of would've ''freed'' Dimitri.#*in AM#and he's not curious so he wouldn't give a shit about finding out her truths. truths which he also wouldn't give a shit about#so even on VW he'd never stop trying to kill Rhea because HE WOULD NOT CARE ABOUT WHAT SHE'D HAVE TO SAY ABOUT ANYTHING#He'd give a passing glance to Byleth's secrets just like he gave a passing glance to Shez's#Incurious Clyde would never try to find out the truth of what happened to Byleth or of their powers - y'know THE POINT OF VW#I don't blame renisfan for phrasing it the way they did even tho they've apologized for how they did#because it just kinda strips down the real meat of the issue: they meant to write Claude as being OOC#They knew that the way they wrote him doesn't fit his character so they hide behind the No Byleth/Garreg Mach excuse#which FUCKING. IS ACTUALLY THE DAMN CASE FOR MOST OF THE CHARACTERS.#I can completely believe that 3H!Dimitri would act like Hopes!Dimitri where it not for what he went through in Garreg Mach!#these two versions of him are completely in line with each other because Dimitri's core character hasn't been tampered with at all#which just is not the case with Claude#and that problem oozes throughout the game because for most of the time Claude - A MAIN CHARACTER - is on screen he's acting wildly OOC#sorry if i went all over the place but maaaaaan this is just rattlin' my bones lmao#clyde discourse

So have you heard of that Obey Me: Nightbringer thing?? I saw it on their Twitter and I have no idea what it is but I don't interact with enough people in the fandom to ask
oh yeah, i saw that too! unfortunately i also have no idea what it is, so i can't help you here ^^;
i think i saw someone under it saying it's a prequel game of some sort? but idk if they actually knew or if it's speculation, so keep that in mind
#answering asks#anon asks#tbh even if it is a prequel game it's a little hard to get excited about#i'd rather they just focused on making the current game's writing better yknow? especially after s4 which... certainly was a season#it had writing. and characters.#i did eventually finish it and while the twist with simeon at the end IS interesting... why did they leave it til the very last minute#and then not do anything with it???#it's a cool story beat! i'd love to see it explored! but it is not a big enough mystery#to warrant spending the whole season wondering what it is!#is s5 even going to happen at this rate?? are they ever going to develop the new trio????#unless s5 comes out and it turns out s4 was just a really long haul setup for something GREAT#even so it still makes it kinda disappointing that those 20 lessons had pretty little real substance#even though there were TONS of potential lines to follow!!!!#sorry this happens every time i bring up s4 lol#i just start writing an essay in the tags. that being said i'm still gonna do it#anyway if nightbringer does end up being a prequel game... idk#i can't really see myself being interested in it#when the brothers as demons honestly still haven't been explored to their full potential#(AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE SIDE CHARACTERS)#i don't have a lot of faith in what they'll do with them as angels#we'll see#also i have a mild confession to make. diavolo and luke don't really do it for me in canon#for diavolo i think part of it is just that i live in the uk and am incredibly jaded in terms of how i feel about monarchies#and i don't really like how om hand-waves diavolo as a ruler like 'everyone loves him and he is good and there's nothing wrong with royalty#he's felt like too much of a jovial dumbass as of late when that never really felt like who he was before#in terms of luke he has like three character gimmicks and they don't really stop to give him much depth after his brief stint in s1#the gimmicks being 1. child 2. bakes and 3. child again#THERE'S SO MUCH YOU COULD DO WITH HIM#he's like a baby angel but inherently still much older than a human right?? the psychology of it!! it could be so interesting!!#i keep meaning to actually add the stuff i've done with it into jtta but i can never find the right bit to add it to

#cw i'm being mean about a stranger's fanfiction because i've been reading it for weeks or months now#and it's consuming me but i need to finish it at this point#ok one of the problems w this fic is really just. how much the author fucking hates y qy#what'd this dude ever do to you#his death was so much more brutal than was really called for#and yet!!! not nearly detailed enough#cut off his arm without any fanfare#ripped out his whole stomach within a sequence of 'and then's#unnecessary AND uninteresting#like the author was already grossed out or something and didn't want to touch it further#also maybe im desensitized to fictional Bad Things Happening#or maybe this fic is just so fucking long some of it's faded into the bg of my mind#but i don't really think his Crimes warranted all that#cut off his cultivation and let him rot or whatever. eye for an eye and force a truth serum down his throat in front of an audience#idk i just think setting up a whole arena and cutting off his limbs was a little excessive#telling him his beloved friend & the person he promised to protect has been dead under his nose for like 10 years or whatever is also#A Bit Much#like yeah he did a lot of fucked up stuff#but it's only getting punished so hard because the fucked up suff was done to the protagonist#m bj killed a bunch of kids and would've had no problem killing more if s qq hadn't intervened#well. teens and young adults but still#but that's not worthy of punishment i guess because we like m bj?#'it was for revenge' oh that's fine then#& anyway on top of all that. it just felt like the author was setting him up to Do Bad just for the ability to punish him later#if that makes sense#like not to move the plot forward or anything. or for character depth.#just to make sure we know y qy sucks and he has it coming to him#so tldr my notes are: 1) make it make sense; 2) lean into the violence a little more damn#also i know it's a fic someone worked hard on and posted for free and it's silly to criticize it like this#but god i'm almost 300k words in im invested and it's for the worst

I know some people are still pushing to broaden "neurodivergent" to mean "literally anyone with any mental disorder" and I'd like to reiterate that as an autistic person it's really useful to have a term for the subcommunity of similar folks and taking our term from us just because you want it is uh. well.
folks with mental disorders of all sorts deserve community, support, and destigmatization, but you don't have to take our term to do it is all.

Yandere! Game Show Host Hcs
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Warnings: Obsessive Behavior, Yandere Thoughts, Bad Writing, Stalking, Possessive Behavior, Reader is Referred as ‘You’
A/N: I saw this request and was like this is such a cool request but what if we made him an evil game show host. Like one that would put contestants in deadly scenarios.
Tumblr media
🌟 Yandere! Game Show Host who kidnaps all of the contestants and forces them to play this twisted game that he created for money. Don’t worry though, he rigged the entire game to be in your favor. It was discreet enough for the viewers not to really care but apparent enough for you to notice the favoritism. Did you care? Hell no!! As long as you were getting paid you and survived this whole ordeal could give a rats ass about what happened next. Even when you do manage to get certain questions wrong, he will just brush it off and pretend that it was just a warm up question. The contestants are definitely seething whenever they see this happening.
🌟 Yandere! Game Show Host is a psychopath by nature. In each round, he presents the contestants with morally ambiguous dilemmas, enticing them with promises of grand rewards while dangling the threat of dire consequences for failure. Whether it's forcing them to choose between betraying a fellow contestant or facing a treacherous obstacle, he revels in their anguish, relishing the psychological torment he inflicts.
🌟 Yandere! Game Show Host is doing everything in his power to make sure that you win the game. He can’t have his poor baby feeling upset if they fail to win the grand prize. He would absolutely give out the most insane questions that practically no one knows the answer to. The punishment for getting a few questions wrong is mutilation of certain body parts and if you get too many questions wrong then you’ll end up being sent to your death. While everyone is basically being tortured in their punishments, he’d never allow that to happen to you. At most he’d probably just flick your forehead and call it a day. I imagine that most of the people watching the show are people who paid for the contestants to be kidnapped and be brought there against their wishes. Everyone who is put onto his show is a horrible person, including yourself, and have done something to be warranted to be there.
🌟 Yandere! Game Show Host bends all the rules of the game for you, providing subtle hints or covert assistance to ensure your safety. Although he has a strong desire to see others in pain and suffering, his love for you is stronger. At first justifies these actions as preserving the "entertainment value" of the show, but deep down, he's driven by an inexplicable desire to protect you.
🌟 Yandere! Game Show Host would baby you during your time there. He’d make a fuss whenever you tried to do anything remotely dangerous or touch some blood. I could totally see him using a baby voice to try to convince you to stop what you're doing. He has no shame, and everyone is looking at him with utter disbelief/confusion on their faces.
Yandere! Game Show Host: “Oh No! Please don’t go over there! You might slip from all the blood on the ground! Come here let me carry you across.”
Viewers: “…”
The contestant with their leg cut off: “…”
🌟 Yandere! Game Show Host thrives on the power he wields over his contestants, reveling in their suffering as they navigate his challenges. As the game progresses, his demeanor grows more twisted, enjoying the contestants' internal conflicts and emotional turmoil. He taunts them with mocking laughter, reveling in their discomfort and manipulating their decisions to heighten the drama. God forbid that you manage to develop a crush on someone while you are there. He’d absolutely lose it and do everything in his power to crush them. You best believe that he’s going to keep them alive for as long as possible and give them the worst punishments known to man.
🌟 Yandere! Game Show Host has cameras everywhere and when it's time for the contestants to rest for the night he’s going to be observing you. He’s a loser who doesn’t really know how to act around you without becoming a mess. In his spare time, he likes to just watch you through the cameras and imagine himself right next to you. He’s absolutely delulu about your feelings towards him and believes that you feel the same way. Even when you do manage to win this fucked up game, he’s not letting you go. There’s no way that he’s letting you leave after you managed to steal his heart. After this is all over, he’s taking you to his house and locking you there.
🌟 Yandere! Game Show Host holds pride in knowing how many people are at the mercy of his hand. Has a minor God complex and has this skewed mindset about how everyone else is beneath him besides you. Believes that you were made just for him and that you're his one true love. Would rather die than give you up or allow anyone to “take you away from him”. He’s like an annoying roach and almost impossible to get rid of. He’s making sure to stay with you for as long as possible.
Yandere! Game Show Host strides onto the stage with a wicked gaze, his piercing gaze fixed on the contestants. His voice, a chilling blend of charm and malice, booms through the speakers as he welcomes the participants with a mocking flourish. Thom who were strapped onto a table with heavy objects over their heads.
Yandere! Game Show Host: “Alright contestant number one, what is the mass of the Sun divided by Planck's constant in nanometers.
Contestant One: “HOW THE FUCK AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW THAT!?!?!”
Yandere! Game Show Host: “Unfortunately, that's not the correct answer. You’ll now be facing the consequences.” In a matter of seconds, the heavy object comes flying down with alarming speed. Upon impact, it mercilessly crushes against their skull, unleashing an overwhelming and unimaginable force that distorts bone and flesh. Yandere! Game Show Host then makes his way towards you and begins to speak.
Yandere! Game Show Host: “Alright, it's your turn now. No pressure, I know you’ll do great just take your time. Okay what’s 1 + 1?”
You: “2.”
Yandere! Game Show Host: "Talented, brilliant, incredible, amazing, show stopping, spectacular, never the same, totally unique, completely not ever done before, unafraid to reference or not reference, put it in a blender, shit on it, vomit on it, eat it, give birth to it."
Other Contestants: “What the hell!?!? How is this fair!?!!

Hey did you get my ask/request of Alastor and Wife!reader having an argument and Alastor says something horrible to her leaving him to have to make up for it?
I did, I just have a lot of stuff in my inbox
Alastor X Reader Headcanons
✅️Romantic
❌️Platonic
Tumblr media
TW: Alastor being in the DOGHOUSE
Description: ☝️⬆️
Alastor doesn't mind fighting, likes to bicker with and irritate those around him as some strange show of dominance
But his wife is an exception, he hates fighting with his wife and goes to great lengths to avoid it
Despite his efforts, you two do still fight from time to time and he hates it, he tries so hard to reign in that cruel part of him
He doesn't really even remember what started the fight, probably something dangerous he did that upset you
Something like the Adam stunt
And he probably tried to brush it off, his pride not letting him admit that your fears were warranted
You were understandably getting worked up over his dismissal, and he was getting irritated that you wouldn't just drop it
Everyone else in the hotel had scattered and hidden the moment you two started to uncharacteristically raise your voices at each other
Angel had to grab Niffy to stop her from watching the entire argument play out
He just doesn't want to scare you with the idea of losing him, he wants to be your strong, invincible husband
It makes him uncomfortable that you see beyond the powerful overlord demon and instead zero in on the man beneath it all
"Darling, I would understand your fears if I hadn't come back to you in one piece, but I'm here. With you. Perfectly fine."
You could rip your hair out due to frustration, almost in tears, how could he not understand how you felt?
"Alastor! That's not the point! You can't be so reckless! It's not just you that you have to worry about anymore! You have a wife! You have to live and be safe for me!"
He fears a pang of anger over being told what to do, rage and irritation over the unintentional reminder of his failure to win
Which makes his mind wander to his deal, his fucking leash
The words are out of his mouth before he even realizes what he's saying
"If I knew that everything I do had to be approved by you then, I would've rethought this whole marriage ordeal."
Alastor regrets the words as soon as they leave his mouth, his ears folding back at the sight of your hurt expression
Your eyes have tears in them but you're doing your best to hold them in, turning on your heel to leave the room
"Wait-Darling, I didn't-"
"Just...give me some space, Alastor."
He regrets it so much, watching you walk away from him when he should be begging for forgiveness
He hates seeing you so upset but he hates being the reason for it even more
Alastor tries to give you the space you asked for, but it's difficult when all he wants to do is make up with you already
But he also doesn't want to actually talk about what happened
So he breaks fairly easily when he sees you again, coming up behind you and hugging you
Only to be shrugged off when he goes for a small kiss, left with a sinking feeling in his stomach
"I said to give me space, I'm not ready to talk to you yet."
Normally, Alastor loves it when you're cruel and cold, finds it a little hot, but when it's aimed at him? He hates it so fucking much
Literally looks like a kicked puppy when you walk away from him again, Charlie and Vaggie looking at anything but him
"You know what, Charlie? I do see that crack in the wall!"
He tries again later, sitting next to you and trying to wrap an arm around your shoulders while the radio bursts to life with a love song
Only to be rewarded with an ill hidden sniffle and you immediately getting up to walk away from him
"If you're not going to apologize and have a genuine conversation with me then don't even bother."
It's driving Alastor crazy not being able to be with you, to not be able to properly make up with you
But he still doesn't want to admit he messed up or have that uncomfortable conversation with you
So he tries lavish gifts and other romantic gestures that all get rejected or given to Niffty to do whatever she wants with them
"Yay!! I'm going to poison these and give them to the mother bugs!!"
Okay...maybe Angel should have these...
Alastor is starting to understand that he can't just gloss over this one
He understands it a little more later that night when you go to bed without him, and he's left too nervous to follow after you
Several hours into the night, the guilt eats at him and he breaks, sneaking into the bedroom
You're awake, your eyes red rimmed from crying but you manage to give him a glare before turning your back to him
"Darling, I believe I owe you an apology..."
The way your tense body relaxes is all he needs, crawling into bed with you and pulling you to his chest
It's a difficult pill for him to swallow, so it's easier for him to have these conversations with you like this
He doesn't want you to see his weakness even when he's laying it out for you
Luckily, Alastor is good with his words and you're willing to listen now that an apology is on the table
It's a long conversation that leaves you both sleepless and emotional in each other's arms
But things are settled and Alastor is forgiven, happy to be back in your good graces
He tried to be strong and hold himself back, he really did... but being without the warmth of your love was torture for him
It was a rough couple of hours for him
HA WHIPPED
"Angel, shut the fuck up before you get yourself killed!"
He's extra clingy and romantic with you for DAYS afterwards, making everyone else at the hotel practically nauseous
Except for Charlie, of course, she loves it
He's just so relieved that you've forgiven him, still disgusted with himself for even saying what he said
Asks you for yet another kiss that morning before Husk finally walks away, annoyed by Alastor's neediness
You don't mind your husband's clingy antics, enjoying the extra attention he's giving you
You should get mad at him more often

ᥫ᭡ “REFLECTIONS” — GOJO SATORU
ㅤꞋꞌꞋꞌ fem!reader, megumi calls reader “mom”, megumi calls gojo “dad”, angst, hurt/comfort, megumi is a few years older than canon (18?)
a/n : not sure if this is exactly what you wanted, but i tried
Tumblr media
“can i have a kiss?” gojo mumbles against your neck. you tried to escape him leaving your shared bed and taking refuge on the living room couch. unfortunately for you, gojo follows you like a lost puppy. he had immediately flopped his body on top of yours. now you’re uncomfortable engulfed in his arms.
“mmm no.” gojo frowns against your neck, tickling your skin. you flinch and pull away from him.
“that tickles.” you jab your finger against his shoulder to push him away from you. you immediately notice a flash of mischief in his eyes. your eyes widen in realization.
“don’t even think about it satoru.” of course he’s thinking about it. his slender fingers inch towards your sides. you slap them away but that only makes him laugh. you jump up and hold your hands up in defense.
“stop!” you squeal playfully. as gojo stands up, wiggling his fingers playfully you decide to make a run for it. you start off running down the hall. gojo is right on your heels and you’re sure he’s going to catch you.
unfortunately, you don’t see the bathroom door open and megumi stepping out. you almost crash into him but you're able to stop before you reach him.
his hair still drenched, droplets of water dripping on his freshly cleaned shirt. the loud screaming that he heard before exiting the bathroom seized. he watches as the playful look in your eyes is replaced with a look of pure terror. for a second he thinks that he’s startled you by existing the bathroom, but when his eyes shift to gojo’s he realizes that it’s something else.
the look in gojo’s eyes matches yours. pure shock and terror. neither of you move from your spot. megumi’s worried eyes shift back to you. he doesn’t like how you’re looking at him. you’ve never looked at him with anything other than love.
“mom?” he reaches his hand out to rest on your shoulder but you step back, startled. he snatches his hand back as if he’s touched an open flame. he feels as if his heart has fell into the pit of his stomach.
“mom? dad?” he calls again. he refrains from touching you this time. he looks at gojo again. the look in his eyes has seemed to return to normal.
“what’s wrong with you both?” megumi asks. his voice is bare above a whisper. he’s startled by your lack of reaction. gojo sends him a sad look before grabbing you and turning you towards him. he places his hands on your cheeks and stares into your eyes. this is when he notices that your shaking.
“it’s okay. it’s okay.” gojo whispers. his fingers caress the apples of your cheeks. the relentless pounding in your chest seems to slow. you swallow the lump that’s formed in your chest. his soft voice pulls you from your deep emotional state.
“mom? are you okay?” you hear megumi speak again. this time, now out of your trance-like state, you turn to him. his eyes are a little watery, making your heart hurt. you didn’t mean to scare him and you’re sure he didn’t mean to scare you.
megumi notice that the love has returned to your eyes. he reaches his hand out to touch you but he hesitates, afraid that you’ll flinch away from him again. you notice so grab his hand into yours. you place your other hand on top of his
“yes, i’m okay.”
“what happened? did i- did i do something?” your heart crumbles at the fact that he thinks he’s done something to warrant your reaction.
“no, no. it’s not you. i just had a bad memory.” megumi sends you a questioning look and then shifts his eyes to gojo. gojo sends him a look. he knows that look. he’s telling him not to ask you any more questions about it. and because megumi never wants you to look at him that way again he leaves it at that.
“well i’m glad you’re okay now.”
