summary: OK, so she's got a date now. And a possible future boyfriend. Ok, cool, nothing could go wrong right?
warning(s): mental health illness, possible inaccurate depictions of DID (I tried my best to research tho in spare time, also based on events in the show), horror elements, gore/blood elements, murders
author's note: ok so here my fic idea, but it's bare bones bc I haven't been in the best mood to write this down properly but I wanted to share this idea with everyone else. It's very messy so sorry about that. Probs some gaps in between but I'll fill it in a more edited version.
This chapter(?) shows Izanami and Sunny's relationship and what she does for her and the shit she goes through. We also get a small Marc and Sunny moment towards the end. You're welcome.
This was originally supposed to be done before Halloween bc of the spooky vibes it had but that didn't happen, sorry. Next part will be starting to mix with the plot of the show.
Other than that enjoy this word vomit bullet point for my fic idea (I'll probably change the format for the next part bc this looks messy :()
Open to also write hc and other blurbs for this au/characters (spoilers free for nightmare eyes au plot tho). Taglist open for anyone interested for updates.
Red italicized is Izanami either speaking or in Sunny's head & italicized is speaking in Korean

《PREV | NEXT》
Ok. So that happened.
Truthfully she's still buzzed from the kiss even after he left. But like???
Wow.
That kiss.
Wow x2
She hadn't had a kiss like that since well forever.
She pats her cheeks and blinks shaking her head, "Get a hold of yourself! It's just a kiss!" A damn good one tho.
She received a text a few minutes later about the details of their date. Right, steak. It was still odd that he would invite her there but maybe it was like he said. He wanted to impress her.
Ok points for effort. She'll let it slide for now.
The next day she sees Steven and smiles when he greets her, "Oh love, you're here I just wanted to say sorry about before." Why would he want to say sorry???
"What?"
"Sorry I was so caught up in my own thoughts I never got to ask you about it..."
What????
"About what?"
"The...erm....kiss....and, well, us?"
Oh.
Oh.
OH!
"U-us?" Oh god she forgot they never really did talk about it but then again...didn't he ask her out??? "Oh, well, what about us...?"
"Well I was wondering...does this make us more than friends?" She blinks.
"...do you want us to be more than friends, Steven?"
"Do you?"
She paused, he was fidgeting the entire time with rosy cheeks.
"Well...what would you say if I said yes...?"
She's sure his brain had short circuited bc he starts stumbling over his word.
"Y-yes, oh you said yes, well I'd say I'd like that..."
"Then we're more than friends, but only after our date and maybe get to know each other more," she added. Steven looks confused.
"Date?"
"Don't you remember? You came here last night and kissed me after going MIA for a week and then asked me on a date."
"A WEEK??!" He shouted before apologizing, "Sorry, I mean I did????"
"Yes, Steven. Don't you remember?" She gives him a concerned look before he shook his head.
"No I, I guess it must have slipped my mind, truthfully my memory hasnt been its best these last couple of days, I have, ah, sort of health condition," he confessed sheepishly.
Oh, well that might be why he didn't remember. She didn't pry for more details, she figured if he was comfortable, he'll tell her.
"Erm, for the date, what did we say it was at?"
"You suggested a steakhouse, I know I had the same look but you said you wanted to be for me, which was sweet and all but you didn't have to do that," she said, slightly skeptical.
"Oh no, it's fine, love! If I suggested it then I must have suggested. Oh bullocks, I wanted to remember asking you out at least, and even I couldn't do that," he laughs with a slightly dejected look on his face, "Makes me wonder why you'd accept a bloke like me."
"Aish, Steven, I've already told you not to sell yourself short, you're the sweetest and most kindhearted man, I love how your entire being lights up when you ramble about all the things that catches your interests, I might not have a clue on them half the time but they're something that makes you happy and that's what's important to me," she said.
"You mean that?"
"Of course! I've always liked you Steven and your ramblings too, I guess I was just scared you'd reject me. Who knew me kissing you suddenly would cause this!"
He chuckled before blinking, "I know you said we can try to be more than friends after the date but...may I have another kiss?"
She squeals, feeling her cheeks become red. The way he asked HER to kiss HIM!!! Oh her heart.
"Hmmm, okay just because maybe I find you to be cute," she says before giving him a soft peck on the lips. She could feel him practically melt in her arms. His hunched shoulders relaxed as he leaned into the kiss.
It was cute how he followed as she pulled away from the kiss, still dazed.
When she pulled away he was staring at her with hearts.
"Shall we get going, we'll miss our bus if we wait any longer." He nodded as he held her hand making her squeal internally. Yeah yeah call her a fucking idiot for fawning over this, but she was a romantic at heart.
The ride on the bus seemed normal, they talked as usual about different topics, mainly Steven and she just couldn't help but adore how excited he looked. Only new addition was that Steven held her hand and would have the brightest smile on his face compared to before. He did try to follow her off the bus when they reached her stop, mostly bc he wanted to walk her to work.
Luckily she stopped him, saying how he'll be late for work. He was reluctant and only relented when she offered to meet him for lunch.
Speaking of work, Dane notice how his friend was practically glowing. Ofc he would tease her. Bastard.
"Well you're in a great mood today," he notes.
"Maybe I just got a good night's sleep, you ever thought of that, Dane?" She asked. Dane rolled his eyes.
"Yeah yeah, alright spill," he says, "What's got you all cheery today? You're usually dreading for the morning classes," he said.
He squinted his eyes at her before snapped his fingers. "I got it, you've got a date, didn't you?!"
HOW TF DID HE KNOW?!
"Who told you?!"
"You did! Just now! I knew it! Well go on, who is it? Wait, it's that nerdy gift shopist friend of yours you've been talking to, innit?"
"That's classified information, I have a code when it comes to dating and one of them is to not reveal their identities to friends until after the 8th date!"
"So it is him! Bloody finally! I was getting tired of seeing you two pine over each other like two school yard kids!" Dane said before sticking his head outside of the room, "Oi! Llyod, you owe 20 now! He finally asked her out!"
"You made a betting pool on us?! Dane!!"
She's gonna kill him. But apparently that's against the law, so she settled for smacking his shoulder with her teaching notes instead.
The day went by slowly until lunch arrived. Somehow she was bombared by the kids asking if Steven was with her, some of the kids kinda took a liking to him when he kept adding on to her teachings when he was waiting for her.
She was glad the kids liked him, they called him the funny tired man ever since. And GOD, she'll never let it down if he heard they also call him her boyfriend as well. Though the thought makes her a bit giddy.
She texted Steven she was on her way and took a seat on the bus. She was glad she had no classes to teach right after her lunch break, meaning she gets more time to herself. Usually she would use this time to grade her students work or make more lesson plans but she decided not to this time.
As she was lost in her own thoughts, a certain goddess decided to make her appearance.
"I see you're enjoying yourself with your little boy toy."
Tumblr media
Sunny almost screamed but refrained as she held a hand over her heart, "What the fuck?!" She cursed and took a deep breath as she saw Izanami scrolling on her phone.
(Hold on, do goddesses even have phones or allowed to have them at all??? Aren't they supposed to be omnipresent or whatever...)
She took a quick look around and saw a few people around, but they were all lost in their own thoughts or their phones.
"Although you're free to do as you please in your spare time, remember that the spirits remain restless, I'll need you to investigate one that's been causing a scene in the living."
"Jesus can't you get someone else to be your own paranormal cop/detective?!"
"No." Damn, what did she expect really...
"Tonight? Really? Can't you get any of the other gods to help you?"
"I'm afraid you forget that I'm not quite well liked within my own pantheon, besides, none of the other gods will want to meddle with the dead, they find anything regarding the afterlife or is considered cursed to be nothing more than a little stain on their robes."
Yeesh, dramatic much. She's just asking for a break not a damn monolog.
"Be grateful, my dear, you're only doing the bare minimum of interacting and comforting them before helping them pass on."
Sunny rolled her eyes mimicking the goddess. "Meh meh, comfort my ass, tell that to the Crooked Man knock-off slug that literally tied to haunt my possible future boyfriend!"
"I thought you said that you two would be more than friends after the first date."
"Shut up! You know what I mean!" She yelled only to pause as she looked around to see some people staring at her, "Ha, sorry," she said, holding her phone out and pointed to her airpod in her ear, "Bit of a heated argument, sorry!"
"Regardless my little detective, work must be done to return balance in the afterlife. I have faith in you, my dear." She said, patting Sunny's cheek as if she was a child, making her click her tongue and slap her hand away.
"Oh shut it, if I do this you have to give me night of the date off! Agreed?"
Izanami hums before relenting with a nod and a roll of her eyes, "Very well, but don't push you're luck, be grateful that I'm quite fond of you," she said, "Also for your date, please wear something suitable, if I must, I will lend you something from my personal wardrobe."
"Hey, what's wrong with how I dress? It's comfy," Sunny huffed, glancing down at her clothes.
"Hm perhaps if this was dark academia libary date, yes, but if you're dining at a 5 star steakhouse restaurant please do follow the dress code."
"Ok, now that's just rude. There is nothing wrong with how I dress and I'm done with this conversation," she huffed.
"Oh!" Iznami gasped, startling her.
"What? What happened?" The goddess stared at her phone before replying.
"Seems like there's a promotion on those red bean soup from that little noodle shop you like," she said, an odd glee in her eyes.
"For all powerful goddess, you sure do have a knack for special deals from there..."
For some reason the goddess really loved the red bean soup from there and always demanded she get it for her if she was ordering take out from there. before getting off the bus and headed towards the museum.
She immediately went towards the gift shop where she saw Steven. "Steven!" She called out, startling him slightly before he turned and saw her.
"Oh Sunny, love," he said, "You startled me, is it lunchtime already?" He asked.
"Yeah, but I can wait for you while you finish up," she said. She decided to explore the museum exhibits while he finished.
Sunny merely took a quick glance through the ancient exhibits on displayed when she noticed how peeved Izanami looked. Sunny swears she sees a slight pout on her lips. Her thoughts were cut of when she heard her name and saw Steven. When she turned back, Izanami was already gone.
"Alright love, I should be done now," he said as he grabbed his bag.
"Great, let's get going then shall we?" She took his hand and led him out, internally smirking when she saw the look Donna and the security guard up front that had tried to flirt with her last week. Yeah it kinda felt nice to see them gawking at the two in shock.
"So I heard there's this nice cafe, we can have tea and some pastries if you'd like," he suggested.
"Oh that sounds great! Let's go!" She lets him lead her to the cafe, it was nice and cozy. And the pastries were heavenly and absolutely adorable. Reminds her of the cafés when she visited her relatives in Korea.
Steven has mostly talked, ranging from how his day went after they parted to how he notices some of the promotional posters for the Egyptian exhibit were wrong.
"Might have to bring it up to Donna later tonight," he said. She frowned at the mention of his boss.
"You sure you're don't need me to talk to her, listen if anything I'll get Dane to scold her since we'll he's pretty well known bc of his work, maybe she'll listen to him. Or better yet maybe he can help you get another job at a different museum."
"No, love its fine," he sighed.
"God one of these days I'll throttle her for you, she's such a bitch, I'm not even sure why she can't let you be a tour guide, I mean you have a health condition regarding why you're absent and or late, if she knows that then why can't see understand that!" Sunny huffed, though she didn't know it, it warmed his heart at her words.
He didn't think he'd be so lucky to find someone as understanding and kind as her. Maybe life was finally turning around for him.
"Love, it's quite alright, I don't mind as long as I can be close to the Egyptian exhibit, and knowing that you'll be here to listen to me when I'm down makes me feel better."
"You still shouldn't have to go through all that..." she sighed. Steven gave her a small smile.
"Well enough about me, how's your day, love?" He asked.
"The same as always, you know Dane made a damn betting pool on whether we'd go on a date or not?"
"Really, I didn't think of him as the sort to do that," Steven said.
"Oh you'd be surprised on what he does, a little bit unpredictable at times, you know we used the have Tuesday Karaoke nights before but not anymore!"
"Karaoke nights? Just the two of you? You sure I don't have to worry about the two of you being together?" He jokes, but a part of him was curious of their relationship. Maybe he was still a bit jealous deep down.
Tumblr media
"Oh no, Dane and I are just friends since college, we met when he was an exchange student at our school. Well, I guess now we're best friends at this point," She said, "We used to frequent a karaoke bar we found in Chinatown. We usually just sit there to eat and drink at the noodle bar while others do karaoke on stage, though recently he's been going through a rough patch because of his girlfriend...being away..." she adds the last part hesitantly.
Yeah it probably wouldn't be smart for her to mention to Steven that Sersi was taken by some weird alien.
"Oh I'm sorry to hear about him and his girlfriend going through it, but maybe the two of us can go one day," Steven suggested. And he knew he hit the jackpot when he saw how her eyes lit up. An adorable sight really.
"Really? Oh my god we should! You'll have a blast there!" She said, shaking her hands from excitement as she was practically vibrating with glee at the thought.
Oh goodness, his heart was gonna burst.
"You're so adorable, love," Steven cooed as he placed his chin under his palms. Yup, he was sure he'd looked like a love sick puppy to others, but honestly he didn't really care, "It's still hard for me to wrap my head around how why you'd accept someone like me."
"Steven, I told you--"
"I know, but still...you probably had a lot of boyfriends in the past I bet, or maybe even girlfriends, I wouldn't blame them."
Sunny lets out a nervous chuckle, "Oh, uh, I really haven't had alot of dating experience really. Maybe like 1 or 2 serious relationships in the past but they didn't really end well."
"Really?" Now Steven was surprised.
"Ha, let's just say that younger me wasn't very well liked....not to say that people hated me or anything, I just was never anyone's first choice....I was just...odd to people."
Yeah, definitely being able to see undead things and spirits definitely makes her odd, she thinks.
"Well that's not right," Steven mutters. "And beside, being normal is overrated anyways," he quips, "I think you're quite pleasant even if you are odd."
"Awww, Steven, you're too kind," she grins, "Well who knows, I'm still hopeful that someone will love me as I am wholely," she said offhandedly as she glanced out the window.
Steven feels his cheeks become hot. A hopeful romantic to a fault, he can't help but wonder if he could be the one. Maybe, maybe not. But he can't help but fantasize at the thought.
"Maybe," he mutters to himself.
The waitress brought them their food. Steven took this moment to thank the waitress as they asked if they needed anything else.
While this happened, Sunny took a small sip of her ice tea and glanced outside the window. Everything seemed normal until she saw it.
Admist the busy streets of London stood a tall looming figure. Neck crooked, eyes hollow and drenched in blood. It's mouth slowly opened, wide enough to reveal its sharp teeth. Seeing its mouth open she saw a face sunken in its mouth, a look of pure agony and terror on its expression
She choked on her own drink, causing Steven to rush over to her side and pat her back as she coughed violently.
"Goodness love, you alright?!"
"J-just went down the wrong pipe, I'm alright," she coughed, looking back out through the window and the creature gone.
"What the fuck..." she mutters before looking back at Steven to see his concern face, "I'm okay, just got spooked, that's all," she said.
"Are you sure, love?" She continued to reassure him before telling him that they should eat their lunch before his break was over.
Steven relented, not sure what to say. He was sure she saw something but when he glanced out it was just the busy London street, nothing out of the ordinary.
"Yeah, fine, let's eat before our food gets cold," she said in hopes that he would leave the subject be.
He did, but continued to give her worried glances ever few minutes.
Somehow lunch went on smoothly after that, but she was still shaken by what she saw. She could hear Izanami complain in the back of her head how the spirits were becoming more bold and restless and that doesn't make her feel better tbh.
Once she dropped Steven back at the museum, she left. She turned to corner only to shout when she ran into a familar ghost wearing shade.
"Oh my God! You again?!" She had an exasperated look, "So what? You're just following me around now?!" She said with more mild annoyance rather than fear the first time she met the ghost.
Yeah she's terrified of the ghosts half of the time, but if they're just going to do things like this the fear suddenly lessens a bit.
"Don't blame them for sticking to you, my dear," Izanami said, appearing beside her again.
"Oh my god!" She jumps, "I swear we to get you a bell or something..." she sighs.
The goddess merely ignored her as she walked and turned around the corner.
This bitch...
She followed after, knowing that the goddess usually doesn't make her appearance unless it involves some stray spirits.
Or maybe to bother her.
She noticed a large crowd forming along side the riverbank. Sirens from the constables car going off in the background.
She saw the goddess standing among the crowd with arms crossed, her eyes staring out into the water.
Sunny heard hush whispers among the crowd, something about a missing woman found dead in the river.
She had a bad feeling about this.
Before she could ask Izanami why they were heard she look out to see a woman standing in the middle of the water, dress in a white night gown.
Oh great.
She gulped and nervously glanced back at the goddess, shifting uncomfortably at the sight of the woman slowly emerging out of the water.
"It's usually rare of me to stumble upon a vengeful spirit in the making," Izanami suddenly commented.
"Woah, wait! 'Vengeful'?!" Sunny squeaked.
"Oh relax my dear, she's not at the stage yet, we can prevent it if we find out reason for her anger."
Sunny grimaced at the thought as the spirit was now before them, the rest of the crowd ignorant to what was happening.
She's had her fair share of encounters with more vengeful spirits and trust her, it's not that great.
"So my dear, I can sense you're angry, may I ask why? Perhaps we can help?"
"...my husband...he did this to me..."
"Hm, I see, I can understand the sentiment..."
"Izanami..." Sunny muttered feeling uncomfortable at the spirit before her. She saw how blood had been trailing down her head and onto her clothes. Her skin a now deathly pale blue color. Not to mention the sudden shift of how thick the air around them felt. She felt that she was going to choke.
"Fine, fine, so you want revenge on your husband I see, I'm assuming he's the one that killed you. Hmm, I'm usually not the one to mess with the living but I suppose I can an exception for this case."
Izanami hummed as she tapped her pointer finger against her chin, "But because it involves the living it will cost you my dear, what do you have to offer to me to fulfill this?"
"Are you really extorting the ghost?!" Sunny gasped.
The spirit contemplated, "I don't have any money on me..."
"Oh, it doesn't have to be of the monetary type, anything you deem of value, it can sentimental as well."
The spirit remained quiet before taking off a ring that was on her finger. Izanami took the ring an inspected it.
"I see, very well, consider it done," she said before tossing it to Sunny, who was startled as she caught it.
She gazed at the ring and notices the very expensive looking diamond attached to the ring, "Holy shit...."
This damn rock could cover her bills for an entire 2 months!
(tw: gore & blood warning)
Before she could ask Izanami what she was gonna do with ring, the spirit suddenly dug her fingers into the side of her skull.
A strange sound of discomfort coming from the back of Sunny's throat at the sight.
The sounds of squelching was heard before the spirit took out a single bullet, covered in red and has bits of possibly brain matter on it.
Sunny grimaced at the sight and turned away, feeling sick as Izanami took the bullet from the spirit.
"I hope you feel at ease, dear," Izanami replied in a soft voice. It was odd hearing the goddess sound so tender and sincere considering how she usually is.
And with that the spirit disappeared. The thick air lifting as she exhaled a deep breath she didn't know she had been holding in.
"So...that's it?" She mutters, taking a look around them. No one had noticed what took place and continued on as normal.
"For now," Izanami replies.
"That's quite ominous of you to say..."
"What do you want me to say, it'll take some time to enact their just revenge, I can't just drop my duties to do just that."
"And those duties are?" Sunny asked. Izanami doesn't replied.
She sighs before leaving the scene and quickly headed back to museums before her next class. The diamond ring seemed heavy in her pocket as she worried what exactly the goddess was planning to do to exact the spirit's revenge.
Nothing good, most likely.
NIGHT TIME - 11:10PM
After work, Sunny had almost all but forgotten the experience from earlier as she walked down the streets towards the bus stop.
Dane offered to wait for her like usual, but he seemed a bit jittery, almost anxious. She decided that maybe he was still worried about Sersi.
So she declined, telling him to head home for the night. She sighed as she walked past a few buildings hoping to catch the last bus or maybe even a cab at this point.
She had been deep in her own thoughts relaying today's events when she heard a sudden clash.
She jumped as she turned to see what it was. Some nearby trash can were knocked over, a part of her wants thinks it's the wind, but she knows it's not the case.
Call her paranoid, but when you've spent years dealing with ghost, it doesn't hurt to be cautious.
Sunny hastily made her way towards the end of the street, gripping her phone in one hand.
God how she wished she brought her baseball bat with her. She took a quick glance over her shoulder to see nothing when-
"What are you doing?"
She screamed as she turned to see Izanami standing before her.
"Oh god," she gasped, "Stop doing that, you're gonna give me a heart attack one day..."
Izanami frowned, "I wouldn't let that happen."
"That's oddly comforting to hear..." Sunny said, "Well since you're here, have...have you noticed anything odd around here?"
Izanami raised a brow at her, "What do you mean?"
"I mean, you know something...well, something that involves the dead?"
Before the goddess could speak, all the lights before them had suddenly shut off. The two stared at each other before a few minutes later the lights turned back on, only with a red hue.
"This is new..." Izanami notes, sounding quite suprised. Sunny shushes the goddess, hearing something in the distance.
"...do you hear that?" The two paused, listening closely. It sounded like footsteps. Along with some heavy breathing.
The two glanced at each other before they saw it.
A large looming figure with four elongated limbs protruding from its torso. The portion where it's head should be had multiple eyes all over it and slit across its face representing its mouth.
Oh shit.
Sunny gasped, but Izanami quickly placed her hand over her mouth, shushing her.
"Don't," she whispered, "Don't make a sound. Just slowly back away and hide into the alley while it passes..." she said, slowly lowering her hand from Sunny's mouth and gripped her arm to follow her lead.
She nodded as they backed away slowly, keeping their eyes on the creature. They continued walking back until they stumbled upon some trash cans that were laying about on the sidewalk.
The creature suddenly turned its head towards them, slowly emerging as it faced them.
"Well this is bad," Izanami mutters.
"Yeah, you think!? Can't you do something about that thing?!"
"I can't do anything against that thing!"
"But you're a god! One that oversees the underworld specifically!" Sunny jumps as the creature lets out a growl.
"Yes, but under certian circumstances, I have no control over that foul beast!"
"So you're basically useless to me right now! Great, what's the point in being bothered by an all powerful god if they can't even have the power to protect you?!" Sunny snapped, "Then what the hell am I supposed to do?!"
"Quit talking and just run!"
Sunny did just that as she dipped into the nearby alleyway, hearing the creature let out a shriek and chase after her.
She screamed as it slammed into the side of the building. She kicked an unstable plank holding some crates to collapse and fall over in hopes to temporarily stop the creature.
She panted as ducked under some fencing rails and slipped into a smaller alleyway that had exited out into a more open alleyway.
She paused, sensing that the creature was nowhere nearby. For a second she felt a bit of ease.
She took a step back before her foot stepped on something. She glanced down to see a small pendant. She knelt down to picked it up and quickly inspected it. It was gold with inscriptions embossed on it.
The inscription was in kanji, she'll have to ask Izanami what it says then.
She stood straight and pulled out her phone to see where she was at when she heard a faint whisper.
She paused, slowly hearing the whisper grow more louder and more frantic. She held her breath and glanced over her shoulder to see a ghostly looking woman, her hands covering her face as she let out sobs.
Sunny took a step back as the woman removed her hands and stared at her with a vacant expression before a large wide grin was seen.
A distorted giggle left their lips before their head suddenly split open, revealing a large inflated one with large bulging eyes and a wide grin with sharp teeth snapping at her.
"Are you fucking with me--" she ducked as it lurched forward, slamming itself against the wall behind her. She ran as it let out fits of giggles and clattering before it followed after her.
"Izanami, if you can hear me throughout all this chaos, I swear to fucking God, if you don't tell me what the fuck is going I'm gonna fucking lose it!"
Well there's no reason to be so crude about it!
"Izanami!"
Alright, alright! I'm afraid I'm not sure why so many ghastly spirits are emerging at this time, were not even close to the night parade yet...
"The what now?!"
Never mind that, just keep running and take a left, it'll lead you through an alley in front of the apartment building---duck!!
Sunny gasped and suddenly ducked, rolling on her side as a large arm shot its way out between the walls out of nowhere. She winced as she hit her head against the pavement, a small cut was seen above her left brow.
She pressed her fingers above her brow when she felt something trickle down her face.
Great. Blood.
She lets out groan as she stood back up to see the arm crawling around to find her. She stepped back as the arm swiped at her.
She glanced over to see a wooden board and grabbed it as she hit the arm over and over again as it tried to grab her. The arm stilled before disappearing into black smoke.
A huff escaped her lips as she threw the board away. She recalled Izanami saying if she slipped through the upcoming alley it would lead her to the front of the apartment building.
The air was still thick, she glanced down the end of the alley to see the second spirit she had saw earlier, staring back at her. The distorted giggles and clatter were heard.
She held her bag close to her before the spirit suddenly disappeared. A slight sense of relief washed over her, although only temporarily before Izanami spoke.
Best make haste now, I can still sense the foul beast close by.
Speak of the devil, a loud shriek was heard before she turned to see the first spirit at the very end.
"Seriously?!" She quickly slipped into alley and found herself in front of the apartments. She rushed inside, shut the front door and staring out through the small window to see the spirit slowly disappear with the wind.
She sighed and placed her head against the door frame. She hate this.
Slowly Sunny made her way towards the lift and pressed the button to her floor. She could feel herself on edge as she glanced around the lift. No spirits popping out of nowhere like the last time.
She saw herself in the reflection, God she looked like shit. Her hair was disheveled, her clothes all rumpled up and a mess, and the bleeding cut above her brow.
Glad that no one was around at least.
Once she reached her floor, she hastily turned back and exited the lift, paranoia and adrenaline still filling her system before she heard a voice.
"Shit are you okay?"
She quickly turned to see Steven, his eyes wide as he took in her appearance. He was dressed differently than usual and his messy unkempt curls was pushed back. And the accent was off, but slightly different than the last time.
On any normal day, she would have pointed it out, but her mind was frazzled and too much of a mess to notice.
"Oh god, Steven?"
"I--" he didn't get a chance to speak when she rushed in to hug him. Her body relaxed, all the adrenaline slowly left her and the exhaustion settled in.
He stiffened, unsure how to react. He was just worried when he saw a woman all banged up left the lift.
She had called him Steven, meaning she knew the other alter. Shit.
He swallowed thickly before wrapping his arms around her, "Hey, it'll be fine, you're okay..." he said.
He pulled away as he looked over at the cut she had. It wasn't too bad but he'll need to patch her up.
"What happened?" He asked, doing his best put on the same accent Steven always had.
"Umm..." she shifted uncomfortably and looked away. She didn't think telling him what happened would be a good idea.
He noticed that she was uncomfortable and decided not to push now, it didn't look like nothing dire had happened to her if you know what he means.
"Hey, you don't have to tell me, but we should do something about that cut though," he said.
"Oh yeah..." she paused, "I, uh, I have a first aid kit in my flat..."
He nodded as she took out her keys to unlocked the door to her flat. Inside she switched the lights on.
The inside was similar to Steven's but definitely more spacious and had another extra small room.
Everything looked simple and neat, some vine decor above the curtains to give some more color.
"Uh, the first aid is in that top cabinet there," she pointed as she dropped onto the couch in the middle of the living room area.
He nodded as he went to the cabinet and grabbed the first aid. She huffed and laid back onto the couch.
As he grabbed the first aid, he noticed her id card settling down on the counter. He caught a glance and noticed the name making him freeze.
Shit.
He took a deep breath before heading back to where she was at, "Hey," he called out, startling her awake, "You need to stay awake for a bit, don't know if you've gotten a concussion or not..."
"I'll be fine, I didn't really hit my head that hard..."
"So you did hit your head, even more of a reason you should stay awake."
He paused as he took some alcohol wipes and move her bangs to the side as he pressed them lightly onto the cut.
"Ouch," she mutters, wincing slightly at the pain.
"Sorry, should've warned you that it'll hurt."
"Its fine, it's not that bad," she said.
"So...we gonna talk how you got all banged up?"
"I...uh, fell down the stairs..." she hoped he'd buy it.
He had a look on his face, his brows scrunched together before sighing, "Sure."
Once he was done, he placed a plaster over the cut and put the first aid kit away. Silence fell between the two. He felt anxious.
"I, uh, listen I gotta go, have something to do real quick."
She hummed, "Ok," she mutters, heavily tired as she closed her eyes. He noticed that she was about to fall asleep. She didn't look like she had a concussion when he checked her head. So he deemed it safe for her to sleep.
"Let's get you to bed, otherwise you'll wake up with a crink in your neck if you sleep here," she hummed in response as he helped her up.
He managed to find her room and placed her on the bed. He tucked under the duvet before sighing. He waited for a moment before he heard her breathing even out, signaling that she was fast asleep.
"Night Sunshine," he mutters before leaving for the night to do a moon God's bidding.

Haikyuu!!│Boys going grocery shopping w/ you! HC’s│Ft. Bokuto, Nishinoya, Terushima, Kuroo & Kunimi
I had this late night idea and just HAD to follow through, the chaos would be O F F T H E C H A R T S. Thank you to @deathcab4daddy​ for helping me brainstorm some good characters for this post lmao I love you bby and can’t wait to do a collab. <3
E N J O Y ~ 
*:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧ *:・゚✧*:・゚✧
Tumblr media
BOKUTO:
WHEN I TELL YOU THIS BOI PICKS UP EVERYTHING IN SIGHT LIKE A 6 YEAR OLD
 I FUCKING MEAN IT.
“(Y/N) we need this” 
“Bokuto we do not need a 7th jar of peanut butter.”
 “But (Y/N) it has a squirrel on the front-”
“BOKUTO I SWEAR TO GOD”
Tries to drift on the edge of the cart like something straight outta CSGO and the cart nearly obliterates under his weight.
V e r y l o u d u n e c c e s s a r i l y.
Everyone always stares at y’all when you’re going through the isles bc ur literally escorting a man-child sprawled in a shopping cart who’s going “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” at everything he sees like he’s a toddler at the zoo who’s never encountered a chimpanzee before.
Unless you have a bottomless bank account do NOT take him shopping of any kind he is LETHAL.
When you’re at the check-out he turns it into a basketball competition and tries to launch everything perfectly on to the conveyor belt.
Volleyball player? Nah this sis with the NBA now.
Do not ask him to go get something, he will return with at least 9 items you didn’t need and everything BUT the item you requested
He turned up with a whole ass pineapple, a jar of jam, a stick of butter and a bottle of olive oil.
Like,,,where is the correlation in those items???
Once made the mistake of asking him to grab some pads from the hygiene section and specified it HAD to be with wings
Boy showed up ten minutes later and looking very confuzzled.
You questioned why he has a pack of wingless pads in one hand and a can of red bull in the other.
He said it’s because they didn’t have any with wings so he figured the Redbull would suffice and do the job for you.
i-
Tumblr media
NISHINOYA:
Can literally fit him in the little cart seat made for kids and he LOVES it lmaoooo IT’S SO CUTE MY HEART.
HE JUST SWINGS HIS LEGS EXCITABLY WHILE YOUR GETTING STUFF AAAAAAA
Ppl give you such weird looks though bc you have a guy who’s at least 14 years older than the intended demographic sitting there and raising his hands in elation over you copping a cookie dough pie and chucking it in.
Again, another who is VERY LOUD FOR NO REASON AT ALL.
Get’s out of the cart after a while bc his legs be growing numb and begins roaming around.
Someone came back with a feral Noya in hand stating “Is this your child” WNDKJWEFNWJEF.
M’AM HE’S LIKE 18 EXCUSE YOU.
Was salty about it for the rest of the day.
Just ruffle his hair and call him Senpai 
Problem solved.
Picks up tons of exotic fruit that look more like plastic or fuzzy poisonous plants and begs you to get them.
“Noya what the fuck is that.”
“...a Pitaya.”
“...”
“Can we get it-”
“no.”
“(Y/N)-”
“I SAID NO DAMMIT”
Last time you bought some strange fruit he took it to practise and got Tanaka to spike it LMAOOO
IT SPLATTERED E V E R Y W H E R E
AND OVER DAICHI’S SHIRT.
He begged you to no longer allow Noya to purchase weird fruits from then on since he is like a child with a nerf gun.
He once picked up a phat wrinkly purple fruit and turned to you asking if it was an overgrown raisin.
“Noya sweetie that’s a Date.”
HE FULLY TSK’ED AND THREW IT BACK SINCE IT REMINDED HIM OF DATE TECH I CAN’T.
My boy out here defending Asahi even in the Grocery Isles.
We stan a loyal king.
Tumblr media
TERUSHIMA:
Another one who tries to stand on the ledge and the cart wheels almost collapse because it wasn’t designed to hold the weight of a young adult.
Oh young adult??? Sorry I mean’t MAN CHILD.
He treats a shopping experience as a time to practise his aim apparently because he ALWAYS THROWS SHIT AT YOU TO THE POINT YOU’RE THREATENED TO BE KICKED OUT.
Definitely picks up phallic looking objects and places them against his crotch, snorting and saying “Like what you see (Y/N)?”
Homeboy is stood there in front of a wife and child presenting his cucumber appendage for the world to see.
He once grabbed a pair of fat ass melons and pressed them against his chest, shaking them and belting the lyrics to ‘My Milkshake’ while begging you to SQUEEZE HIS MELONS.
“Look (Y/N) they’re bigger than yours!”
I just- 
I give up.
Constantly tries to sneak mutli-packs of energy drinks into the cart to the point you’re convinced he is going to keel over from heart failure and kidney stones by the age of 20.
Has his airpods in 90% of the time and treats the isles as his personal dance floor.
He busting them MOVES and performing the MJ moonwalk while in the dairy section.
ONCE HE SLID TOO FAST AND SLIPPED ON HIS REAR IN FRONT OF LIKE 12 PEOPLE LMAOO
He was DEAD silent the rest of the trip.
Probably the most serene shopping experience you’ve had to date.
The checkout clerks occasionally hit on Mr. Sore-Ass over here.
Until he opens his mouth and they realise he’s a total dolt and question how you have the patience for him.
You don’t know either honestly.
The whole bagging experience is spent with them shooting you sympathetic glances as if to say ‘sis you shoulda’ left him at home’.
Yes, yes you should have.
Never a dull moment with Teru as your shopping partner.
Tumblr media
KUROO:
LITERALLY LIKE A MIDDLE-AGED MAN OR A TODDLER WHEN Y’ALL GO SHOPPING THERE IS NEVER AN EVEN MIDDLE-GROUND.
Frequently cracks lame-ass food puns or dad jokes that make you want to crawl into a hole and die.
You have competitions on who can come up with the most and the loser always faces a penalty.
Kuroo and creating penalties do NOT mix safely so you better hope you win.
“I love you a waffle lot.” 
Proceeds to hold up a wrapped waffle.
Ok that one was kinda cute you’ll let it slide.
“I ap-peach-iate you Kuroo.”
Cue HyenaLaugh.mp3
“Want a pizza me baby? Bitch peas, doughnut take me lightly.”
You changed your mind.
You didn’t talk to him the duration of that shopping experience, no penalty could be as horrifying as what just came out of his mouth.
“(Y/N)... sometimes I feel like you don’t carrot all.”
You slapped him with said carrot and obviously had to pay for it after.
You forced him to eat it raw.
He is the definition of Neutral disaster when you go shopping.
Shitty food puns aside, he is actually very responsible when making sure you both get what you need.
Not without tons of poking, prodding, and blowing into your ear while you’re trying to decide what ingredients to buy for dinner.
You contemplated serving him a plate of bubbling snot and moulded broccoli seasoned with rosemary.
Bone apple teeth, bitch.
Ofc you didn’t because he always pulls out the puppy eyes and cuddles card after since he knows he’s well and truly rattled your patience lmao.
Actually picks really healthy food options?? Being the captain of a team he has the responsibility of keeping his health in top condition and leading by example so at least he knows the right ingredients to make a bomb-ass and nutritious meal ig.
Y’all always bicker and tease each other at the checkout which is usually great amusement for the clerk serving you as they often smirk and perceive you as an old married couple.
Which tbh you kinda are, it feels like it at least.
Still such a big asshole though lmao you never leave the store without your sanity being scathed.
Tumblr media
KUNIMI:
Honestly just wanted an excuse to make jokes at the expense of the Aoba Johsai teammates.
and what better candidate for cracking these than Kunimi.
He’s a very chill partner to have tag along with you on your endeavours.
Not without some grumbling and groaning on his part though, lazy bitch.
You always finish shopping trips with a busted lung at how much you have been laughing though with some of the SHADY ASS REMARKS HE MAKES ABOUT THE OTHER TEAM MATES.
You were outside the store when you both spotted an angry looking Doberman tied to a nearby post.
“Smh who let Kyotani outside again.”
You hadn’t even set foot in the store yet and he was already spitting flaming insults.
[Walking up to the automatic double doors]
“Damn Oikawa move out of my way.”
Oikawa just tryna live and he keeps getting roasted for his flat cheeks 
#StopOikawaAssShaming
Ten minutes of scouring the store later he picks up a spikey Kiwano and compares it to Iwaizumi’s hair.
Proceeds to beg you not to tell my boy Iwa because he KNOWS he will get decked to the gym floor.
Passers by often wonder why you’re wheezing and producing noises like a boiling kettle.
When I tell you no one is safe, I mean N O O N E.
“These Yule logs really out here looking like Matsukawa’s brows.”
The finisher was when Kunimi picked up a turnip and said 
“Huh, kinda looks like Kindaichi.”
I just-
He could roast a whole chicken in minutes from the burn of these comments I stg.
You can now never look at the Seijou team without various foods or inanimate objects plaguing your thoughts.
Thanks, Kunimi.

hua cheng, the accidental person
okay this is for @bodhimcbodeface because i can’t shut up and make this concise enough for discord. spoilers ahead yeehaw
this is...not comprehensive. i’ve written 11 tgcf fics and am generally a bit fixated on Hua Cheng as a character so. there’s definitely things missing but i tried to hit the main points that i thought of while writing? also obviously this is just my interpretation! i do not expect anyone else to be like “ah yes curio the sage is so correct i have changed my thinking on this” like go live your life with your own versions of hua cheng! this is just the hill upon which i have firmly planted myself and from which i refuse to be budged. as u do.
anyway, LONG explanation of my very niche and very uh self-indulgent, not-necessarily-support-by-canon hua cheng apologism LMAO
tl;dr: (this is really Too Long i’m sorry) I think Hua Cheng reluctantly becomes a person during his 800 years of searching, starting from a point where he views Xie Lian not as a person but as an immutable god and focus of devotion and developing into a person who doesn’t really acknowledge that he’s a person because realizing that you want to live and do things for yourself is scary and overwhelming at times, and he ultimately falls in love with Xie Lian during the novel itself as he recognizes and is in wonder of the humanity of Xie Lian instead of his divinity or absolute judgment.
POINT 1: Hua Cheng doesn’t actually fall in love with Xie Lian till the ox cart
but curio! you say, “my beloved!” he calls him his beloved! and the land of tender!!
shhh. IMO Hua Cheng is more Wuming than Hua Cheng for those 800 years. By which I mean, for most of that time he’s, at his heart, a nameless soldier trying to find and serve his crown prince/general/god. He still views Xie Lian as this perfect and immaculate figure—a sculpture, a painting, a work of art that is untouchable and immutable. And he’s utterly and wholly devoted to that figure but devotion is not the same as love
So Hua Cheng is searching and trying to serve Dianxia all these years and then His Royal Highness finally ascends and is a god again and Hua Cheng shows up in all his glory to give this power and strength and wealth to serve him and—
and he’s met not by a powerful and reckless martial god or an unstoppable calamity but by a young man dressed in bridal robes who lets Hua Cheng lead him up a darkened mountain, who doesn’t lash out with spiritual energy or a sword but instead, only eventually, with the cursed bandage he was carrying back in the darkest part of his life.
and i think that throws hua cheng. like he’s had this image of his god all these years, this divine painting made over and over and over again—and he carries that belief and devotion with him, but there’s a crack in the sculpture and the stone is starting to flake off to reveal a human underneath it
so he puts on an approachable, malleable, unassuming skin and finds xie lian collecting scraps and being a lil awkward, a lil bumbling, generous and kind — and i think hua cheng, after 800 years of knowing everything, having everything — I think he looks at this discovery with wonder
Bc tbc this does not mean Hua Cheng views them as equals. For him it’s like, dianxia has even more to him, is even more than I knew. He’s seen Xie Lian as the flower crowned martial god in all his glory and as the white-clothed calamity in all his horror — and now here he is, wonderful, multitudinous, and human
Meanwhile I don’t think Hua Cheng even views himself as a person really, much less a human.
also i mean. the internet & allo ppl prove time and time again that you don’t need love for horniness so. land of tender’s right out as proof on that
POINT 2: The Live For Me thing
so obviously and undeniably, using one person as a reason for living is....not healthy. Not going to argue that. but my take on it personally is that, when Hua Cheng’s a kid who really, actively wants to die and sees no reason for living, Xie Lian gives him a reason to keep going. he doesn’t have to live for himself—that’s too much, that’s too big of an ask—but he’s been given a command and purpose by the one person who’s been kind to him/whom he respects. it’s a little like... “My life has no meaning but my cat needs me to feed him and clean his litterbox and so I need to keep getting up and taking care of him even if I don’t see a larger intrinsic purpose to my life.”
and i think like...it’s easy to forget that for all of books 2 & 4, Hua Cheng is young. He doesn’t live past 18—he’s still like...a kid. And that’s not to say that teenagers/young adults can’t make moral and rational decisions but I’m going to be honest, when I was that age I contemplated joining the Air Force because of tuition assistance and the snazzy uniform despite the fact that I was a vocal pacifist and repeatedly got into arguments with teachers about school rules and conservative politics. It’s not like. The Most Rational and Mature Age, lbr. 
so Wuming is absolutely capable of looking at what Xie Lian is doing and being like “hey maybe war crimes aren’t a great idea” but he is young and traumatized and the one person he believes in, the one person who gave him a reason to keep going, is deadset on this task which tbh I don’t think either of them (or...necessarily...the society in which they live) views as war crimes in the modern sense (which isn’t to say that we as readers should view it any more lightly bc i think the narrative directly and firmly contradicts that idea) but as revenge, as an eye-for-an-eye. so, bad, but character-wise, I think it’s more nuanced than we sometimes consider
anyway back to the fixation on xie lian. i stand by the assertion that in those 800 years, hua cheng wasn’t exclusively focused on xie lian. like was finding and serving him his top priority? oh god yes. undeniably. there is no other version of this story. BUT eight hundred years is like....a lot of time. and i think in that time he started doing things for himself, even if under the guise of serving xie lian. hua cheng is curious and adventurous—he clearly likes to learn even if he plays it off as nbd—and i think he starts to realize that about himself in those centuries even if he doesn’t allow himself to acknowledge or consider it. 
POINT 3: Mt. Tong’lu in General
“okay, sure but what about the thousands of sculptures and murals of xie lian, curio. what the fuck about them.”
Yeah. FINE. okay we will DEAL with this. dealing with this is the entire reason i wrote “(like i do) in the tall grass.” 
disclaimer: this is probably not supported by canon! i also. Do Not care. My Ghost King Now.
so I have two general avenues I take with this:
going back to the devotion > love — when Hua Cheng reaches MTL, he’s seen xie lian beaten and cast down. what do gods need to survive? worship! we see throughout how important divine statues/portraits/etc. are throughout canon. in this interpretation, the cave is a concentration of all that worship in an effort to support and serve xie lian and hua cheng doesn’t view himself like...as part of it. the sculptures could have been carved by any hand so long as they are xie lian and the worship and devotion that goes into their making can support and bolster him.
my personal favorite version: amNESIA IN THE CAVES —okay i don’t have the text pulled up rn but y’know how Guoshi says Hua Cheng was almost dispersed, in terrible condition, etc., when he reached Mt. Tong’lu. so if baby boy is in terrible condition, barely hanging on, etc., then my immediate favorite option is that he doesn’t, at that time, have even the...uh threadbare sense of self he did in life/as Wuming and is running on only a vague and urgent sense of Something driving him—something he has to do, someone he has to serve—and in that case, the paintings and sculptures are part of his trying to piece together and process his memories as he can grasp them and figuring out who he is/what his purpose is. Is this canonical? PROBABLY NOT. and yet here i am. firmly planted on this hill
Also w/ MTL I think a thing that’s often skated over is the mortals, creation of E’ming, and his ascension. Which is important from a meta lens of Hua Cheng and Xie Lian vs Jun Wu but that’s not the point of this rambling monstrosity and i’m trying not to get too distracted. ANYWAY I think this is one of those times when Hua Cheng does something that he would probably excuse as like “well His Highness would’ve wanted me to” or “His Highness wouldn’t have been willing to sacrifice the mortals” because Xie Lian is still largely his moral compass—but it also is a peek at the complexity Hua Cheng doesn’t acknowledge within himself.
uh i got distracted anyway and no longer know what point i was making here. Hua Cheng Ascension Important....maybe i will remember this at some other point...
POINT 4: Live For Me (Revisited)
I sort of got distracted writing that point but anyway coming back to it now: I maintain that although Hua Cheng’s primary pursuit is protecting and serving Xie Lian he also does develop/realize his Accidental Personhood throughout his 800 years. this includes a lot of things, as previously stated, that are under the guise of serving Xie Lian (I’d put learning the Banyue tongue, finding out about the Gilded Banquet, collecting swords, beating the 33 officials etc., in this category) and things that maybe could be but...are not really (e.g., his friendship alliance with He Xuan, Paradise Manor* in general, the Gambling Den, learning the Wuyong tongue, bullying Qi Rong*, bullying FengQing*, playing with gold foil palaces, etc.)
(*these are ones that like...could be said to be for Xie Lian and I think he might say are for Xie Lian but also have a personal element that is just for him. 
Like yes Paradise Manor is a lavish and well-stocked residence fit for a god or crown prince...but it’s also a luxurious and extravagant collection of all the things he couldn’t have in life. it’s like giving a kid a credit card with no limit and letting them run wild through uh. Fuck. A Fancy Department Store. 
And sure Qi Rong was awful and turned on Xie Lian in pretty damning ways, but I also genuinely think part of Hua Cheng’s grudge with him is from the childhood abuse and from just...hatred that Qi Rong is around and looks like Xie Lian and gets to be there when Hua Cheng can’t find Xie Lian (which is about  Xie Lian but for Hua Cheng). 
Similarly with FengQing, sure a lot of his hate is for them abandoning Xie Lian—but he doesn’t even know till Book 3 when they abandoned him, and consider how much more he hates Mu Qing, the guy he blames for kicking him out of the army, etc. Some of it is totally “in service” to Xie Lian but some of it is because Hua Cheng carries a grudge like a goddamn pro and finds catharsis in beating the shit out of immortals who bounce back and can’t stop tripping over themselves and onto his blade.)

hey! could you do a headcanon of remus telling his best friend that he’s in love with her?:) like really fluffy? thank u!!
of course, honey! hope you like it!!
warnings: none, just a load of fluff!
my masterlist ♡
Tumblr media
ok so
you met each other on the train on your first day in Hogwarts, but only actually started talking in your second year
you were in the hospital wing because you broke your arm and he was there alone and hurt
he was bleeding a little and had a few new scars on his arms, how did he get so hurt?
you waited until he woke up and started talking to him, just to keep yourselves busy, you know?
after that day, you two kind of started being friends
Remus introduced you to his second family - the marauders - and they absolutely loved you
so they kind of adopted you as a part of their 'group'
after about 2 years of friendship you were like besties and he decided that he trusted you enough to tell you about his "furry little problem", as James called it
so he told you
he expected you to run away, curse him and people like him or never even look at him anymore
but you didn't
you didn't even flinch, just smiled sweetly at him and said that it was fine and that it didn't change who he was, and that you still loved him
he couldn't stop smiling but one thing disturbed his thoughts for the rest of the day: you said you loved him
but in a friendly way, of course
he was a monster, nobody could love him, right? wrong!
well, he decided to just ignore this little voice in his head and just act like always
Rem was doing fine and almost even forgot about his little crush on you until one day
when you got detention for one week because your fist accidentally hit a git's face because they were talking shit about werewolves
that was when he realized it wasn't just a little crush anymore
he may or may not be in love with you
he scolded you for getting in trouble because of things like this but you said you would do it again if necessary
he blushed a little tho
after that day you looked different to him
he started noticing things you always did but he never realised before
like the way you always bit your bottom lip when you were concentrated in something, or how carefully you always looked after him after a full moon, or how you always laughed at his stupid jokes even when nobody laughed at it
his eyes widened when he caught himself thinking about your smile and how soft your lips must be and how good it would be to kiss them
well, it looks like someone is in love *coughs*
he was all smiley for one minute, but then he remembered about his condition
and he told himself to give up because he was a monster and that you deserved someone better than him
he repeated it to himself everytime he started thinking about you
but after he saw Severus talking to you in Charms, something inside him started awakening
was he jealous? the answer is: yes, he was little jealous boy
he didn't know what in the bloody hell happened to him, but he just went to where you two were and said he needed your help with something
you went with him, of course, and gave Severus an apologetic smile
when you two went to his desk, you giggled a little seeing that all his homework was already done
he blushed a lot and said that he swore it was half finished when he left
“you know, rem” you started speaking between giggles “if you wanted to spend time with me you could have just said it”
boy was so embarrassed right now he could barely talk
he cursed himself mentally, how could he be so dumb?
when you were coming back to your seat, he remembered that tomorrow was Saturday and there would be a Hogsmeade trip tomorrow
gathering all of the courage he could find at the moment, he called you once again, almost immediately regretting it when you looked at him with your beautiful, sweet smile “Yes, Rem?”
there was no turning back now, he had to do it now or he would never be able to do it again
“I was wondering if maybe you want to go to Hogsmeade with me?”
he was so surprised when you said yes and gave his cheek a kiss before coming back to your place while giggling a little
he was so happy and Sirius definitely teased him for it
ok so let's skip to Saturday bc it would be enormous if i kept writing and writing and ok ill stop now
the next day remus was nervous
he started thinking it was a bad idea and that he shouldn't have asked you out but then he saw you and all these worries were long forgotten
you were so beautiful and looked so breathtaking he even forgot why he was so worried about
“so, let's go?” you asked with a smile and he nodded, a smile on his face as well
the whole day your hands were brushing each other and he was dying to just be able to hold your hand, but he didn't want to make you uncomfortable
little did he know you were thinking the exact same
you went to the Honeydukes, to The Three Broomsticks and even to Madam Puddifoot's
a lot of couples were there doing couple things and you and remus were just :|
you both were dying to just act like those couples but you were just to shy to confess your feelings to each other
when you finished your tea, Remus suggested to have a walk before you come back to the castle
you were walking side by side again and you slowly slipped your hand in his, locking your fingers shyly
he was smiling so much his cheeks were starting to hurt, his face and neck were tinted with a deep shade of red
ok, he thought, just say it now, Remus
“(Y/n)?” he called you so softly you almost didn't hear him
you just hummed, squeezing his hand to encourage him to keep going
“I wanted to tell you.. something”
“what is it, Rem?” you asked, looking at him
he stopped walking and breathed deeply, avoiding your eyes “Ikindofhavebeeninlovewithyouforalongtime” he said without pausing and you furrowed your brows in confusion
“you what?”
“I kind of have been in love with you for a long time and I felt like I should tell you, but it's okay if you don't feel the same, I totally understand like why w-”
“can I kiss you?”
he stopped talking at the same moment, looking at you with wide eyes before nodding slowly
you then shyly cupped his face, standing on your tiptoes (bc this boi is tall™) and pressed your lips to his for a few second
“that was good” he said shyly, rubbing the back of his neck “but, what does that make us?”
“I hope it makes us a couple” you said and giggled “by the way, I've been in love with you for a long time, too.”
you came back to the castle holding hands and smiling all lovey dovey at each other
i want remus to be my bf omg :(

LOL ok so i realized that i sounded RLLY stupid in the recording, it was like 12am and half of the things i said were just “AHHHH???” “[inaudible]” or “like… ykwim??” so i decided to write it out instead
> fourteen thousand?? damn wth (amazed bc that’s a lot of words)
> ITS FUTAKUCHI!! BOYFRIEND!!
> why is he so annoying *laughs*

> the target is iced out
> ITS FUTAKUCHI!!
> love the action, not boring, very engaging, very sexy *laughs*
> i wanna punch him *laughs*… with love.. actually no he’s annoying… still one of my favorites tho
> DAMN i just got here and there’s already guns… FIRING
> woah ok so… the scene where it’s like… where time slows down?? and the reader could see the bullet move like it’s in slow motion… putting in the readers thoughts or like thought process really helps make the scene as if it rlly slows down like… in a movie, if that makes sense… YKWIM?? it’s good, very sexy (i was trying to say that by putting in the readers thoughts, you drew out the moment and really made it seem as though time slowed down, and gave the same slow motion effect you see in movies LMAOO)

Lucas: Tough
Anonymous asked: I know requests aren’t open, but like when they are I request you write Lucas mates exactly how you want (put me first on the waiting list)
Tumblr media
Characters: Lucas x female reader (featuring Renjun, Jeno, and Kun)
Genre/warnings: werewolf au, college au, way too much fluff and crack but it wouldn’t be a Lucas fic without it, only veeeeery slight angst like it’s barely there
Word count: 6,638
Summary: Lucas looks like the stereotypical player. He gets attention from boys and girls alike, and he’s quite the smooth talker. But he’s the biggest softy anybody would ever meet. A stark contract to you, who looks like you’ll murder anybody who just looks at you the wrong way, and you absolutely would which is why you don’t really have any friends. But there’s something about this tall idiot that starts blabbering to you in at least three different languages that makes you hate one less person on campus.
a/n: I may or may not have stolen a couple lines from some old 5sos videos bc uh they fit perfectly w the dynamic for Lucas and his mate lmao (thanks, Star)
Truthfully, yes, Lucas liked the attention. It wasn’t because he liked being openly flirted with, he just liked having people around and trying to make new friends. He was probably too friendly for his own good, as people seemed to mistake his happy and open personality to be him flirting back. That was how he got his title as being a player and a fuckboy. But he wasn’t, he just liked people!
His pack always wondered why he didn’t just date somebody. He had plenty of options since he could get just about anybody he wanted, and he had lots of affection and love to spare. He was always talking about how he wanted somebody of his own to hold and coddle, but he never actually asked anybody out.
But he was waiting for ‘the one’. The person that would change his entire world as soon as he laid eyes on them. That would make his heart race and his eyes only look at them. He was waiting for his mate.
Unfortunately, he had yet to find them.
Renjun and Jeno sat in the library where they watched Lucas from a different table where their pack brother had yet to notice them. Instead, he was surrounded by various girls, one of which, they could tell was was heavily flirting with him from the way she leaned toward him when she giggled and touched his arm constantly. 
“I’ll never understand it...” Jeno said, shaking his head as he scrunched up his face when the girl repeated her same flirting technique again.
“What, that so many girls will throw themselves at him?” Renjun guessed with a scoff. “I don’t get that, either.”
“No, how he can just...put up with it,” Jeno clarified. “Doesn’t dealing with all of that constant flirting and getting hit on get really annoying?”
“It’s Yukhei, he loves attention,” Renjun rolled his eyes.
Which was why they were surprised when Lucas straight up ignored all the attention for somebody who wasn’t giving him the time of day. They watched as Lucas did a double take, watching as some girl walked by the table. She had a sour look on her face as she passed the girls all there for the same reason: to hit on Wong Yukhei. But the two boys burst into loud laughter as Lucas put his large hand over the giggly girl’s face and gently pushed her away as she was speaking to him before he got up and walked around the crowd of women to follow after the other girl.
Of course, the laughter and snorting caused the group of girls to glare over toward Jeno and Renjun, but they didn’t even care. But they also were unsure as to why exactly Lucas had gone after some girl when he was waiting to--
Renjun and Jeno exchanged looks, all laughter dying down.
You were a loner of sorts. Being an exchange student, most people didn’t really talk to you. You didn’t mind it since you’d rather be left alone, anyway. You didn’t really like people, and you preferred being by yourself. Maybe that was why you couldn’t help but make a face as you walked passed a large group of girls that were giggling at what you could only assume was a guy -- and judging from the things you’d heard all over campus, it was this Lucas guy.
You didn’t know who he was, you just knew he had like, 3 different names, and everybody loved him. That fact alone made you not like him at all -- especially if he was really the reason for all of these giggling girls gathering in the library.
A tap on your shoulder brought you from your irritated thoughts, turning and ready to chew out whoever it was that was bothering you. However, once you looked up into the eyes of the tall boy in front of you, your mouth just hung open, the harsh words you were ready to spit at him completely lost on you now.
“Hi!” he grinned warmly like you were old friends. “I’m Lucas.”
‘Oh, fuck no,’ was all you could think.
You had no idea what was happening to you. You’d never just suddenly felt so...so... You didn’t even know how to describe how you felt looking at Lucas. You’d never felt it before, though. Was he really just that beautiful or something?
And were you still standing there gaping up at Lucas like an idiot?
Finally, you collected yourself enough to shake your head and break the weird trance you were in because of the tall boy in front of you. You swiftly turned away from him and walked away without saying anything, leaving Lucas watching you leave with a curious expression and a cocked head, looking like a puppy.
Seeing the whole thing, Renjun and Jeno walked over, Jeno clapping a hand on the older boy’s shoulder.
“That’s _____ _____,” Renjun told him, recognizing you from the dark clothes, the eyebrow piercing, and the fact that he’d bumped into you once and you sneered at him. “She’s kind of...”
He let his voice trail off, not wanting to insult his brother’s mate even though, well, you were kind of a bitch -- at least, that’s what you let everybody think.
“So she’s a little grumpy,” Jeno shrugged, patting his brother’s shoulder while Renjun rolled his eyes at the obvious understatement, “she’ll come around eventually. She has to, right?”
And just then, they turned their heads toward you as you stomped back over to them, shoved a torn piece of paper into Lucas’s chest, and stomped away again as you grumbled to yourself in a language they couldn’t understand. The three boys’ eyes went straight to the paper as Lucas unfolded it to see a phone number scrawled on it.
Lucas’s face broke into a wide grin as he let out a squeal of a laugh.
“A lot sooner than I thought,” Jeno mused.
-
Now that Lucas had met you, finding you was easy. All he had to do was follow the imprinting pull, and there you were! But he also had to learn to control himself, because he tried to go find you at 2am because he wanted to see you, and Kun had to all but tie him to his bed. 
The next few days were all the same. You were suddenly seeing Yukhei everywhere, and he would start talking to you in a variety of languages. Some of them, you couldn’t even understand. He wouldn’t even let you get a word in, either. He would just start spewing word vomit, and then he’d immediately leave with reddened cheeks only to come find you again after the next class. You weren’t sure how he was finding you or what was going on, and you still had no idea why your heart fluttered whenever he came around or why you just wanted to reach out and hold his giant dumb hand.
It took all week for the conversation to not be one-sided, but it was only because something in you snapped and couldn’t take the feelings bubbling up inside you whenever you saw Lucas. He had walked up to you and started babbling in what you could only assume was a Chinese language, but as he turned to leave like he always did, you reached out and grabbed onto his wrist. But instead of something cute or sweet coming out of your mouth, you said...quite the opposite.
“What the fuck did you just say to me?”
Lucas’s eyes went wide as he turned back to face you. This was the first time he’d heard anything come out of your mouth, and despite it being words that weren’t the most polite, it was like hearing the most amazing song for the first time ever. He wanted to hear you speak to him again.
“U-um, I said...” he trailed off, suddenly realizing he actually didn’t even remember what he’d just said, let alone if he was saying it in a language he knew you’d understand. “What did I say...?”
“You’re really weird,” you stated, your hand still wrapped around his wrist without you realizing.
But Lucas loved it. Where your skin made contact, it was like electricity for him. He even moved his hand so he could take yours, and that’s what made you realize you were still holding onto him before. But even with him holding your hand, for some reason, you didn’t want to pull away.
“Yeah, I get that a lot,” he laughed warmly with a shrug. “I’m sorry for confusing you. I just really wanted to speak to you, but you kinda make me like, really nervous, so...yeah.”
Your nose scrunched, “Why do I make you nervous?”
Almost immediately, your mind went to, ‘Well, it could be the piercings or the clothes or the fact you conditioned yourself to have resting bitch face.’
‘But he’s also the size of a giant, and judging from the size of his arms, he could crush me.’
‘Valid points.’
And then you found yourself just staring at his arms through the muscle tank he was wearing.
“I don’t know,” he shrugged, the happy smile still on his face, and his large, warm hand still wrapped around yours like he’d held it a million times before this, “you’re just...you!”
You peeled your gaze away from his biceps to narrow your eyes at him, “You don’t even know me.”
“Then let me get to know you.”
You laughed at the idea, finally pulling your hand out of his and trying to ignore how cold your skin felt without him touching you, “Yeah, that’s a no from me.”
“C’mon,” he said, his smile not faltering one bit, “why not just like-- Ooh! Twenty questions!”
“I don’t have time to stand here and answer twenty questions from you,” you sneered.
Still, Lucas kept smiling. You wondered if his face was broken. Or if something in his head had short circuited.
“Ten?”
“No.”
“Five?”
“You’re real persistent, huh?”
“Three!”
You groaned loudly, your head dropping back, “If I agree, will you stop bugging me?”
“Yeah!” he nodded eagerly. “Well, maybe. I don’t know!”
You sighed, figuring that was as good as you were gonna get with this guy. Running your fingers through your hair, you shifted your wait from one foot to the other as you studied the chipper boy in front of you.
“Five questions,” you stated. “That’s all you get.”
“Great!” he grinned before he turned and practically ran the other way.
“Wait!” you called after him, making him immediately stop in his tracks and turn to face you. “Where the hell are you going?”
“To pick the perfect questions!” he told you before he raced off.
You just stood there, watching him go. He was definitely something else. Still, despite his irritating persistence, you didn’t find yourself hating him. It was...weird. You kind of liked that he bugged you. You...kind of liked...him.
You felt eyes staring at you, so you turned your head to see a small group looking at you curiously. They’d actually been watching you and Lucas the whole time because nobody could believe that Lucas was not only the one flirting now, but he’d chosen you of all people to flirt with.
“Oh, fuck off,” you snapped at them before you pulled your backpacks straps tighter and stomped off to your next class -- which you were now late for, thanks to Lucas.
-
Kun walked through the door, leaving his keys on the keyring on the wall as he kicked off his shoes. The first thing he saw was Lucas sitting on the floor by the coffee table, jotting down furiously in a notebook. He’d never seen Lucas study this hard.
“What, is there an important test you didn’t study for?” the older boy guessed as he walked further into the apartment.
He didn’t sense any signs of their two youngest roommates, so he assumed they were somewhere else in the building with somebody else in the pack. 
When Lucas didn’t reply, Kun walked closer to him and looked over his shoulder, “Hello? Earth to Yukhei.”
Lucas finally stopped, tilting his head back to look up at Kun, “Huh?”
When Kun finally got a good look at Lucas’s ‘notes’, he sort of understood what was happening. The pack had heard from Renjun and Jeno about Lucas imprinting -- he got a mix of congratulations and relentless teasing, especially when it was revealed who he had imprinted on -- so Kun should’ve guessed that’s what Lucas’s focus was on right now. What he still didn’t understand was why Lucas had written down a plethora of questions into his notebook. Some were more conventional, while others were just...weird.
Does she have a fear of killer clowns?
Did she ever see Phantom of the Opera and did she enjoy it?
Would she rather fight 1 horse-sized piranha or 10 piranha-sized horses?
Kun just clicked his tongue as he scanned the page that was full of questions.
Lucas covered the page with his arms like he was taking a test and didn’t want Kun getting the answers, “I’m doing something.”
“I can see that,” Kun nodded. “Care to explain?”
Lucas sighed, letting his pencil drop onto the notebook as he sat back and ran both hands through his hair, “_____ is letting me ask her five questions, and I want to make sure they’re deep enough that I can know her as well as possible.”
“And you think that knowing if she’d rather take on a giant fish or tiny horses is the way to go?” he chuckled, smoothly sitting crisscross beside Lucas on the floor.
“I’m just writing down a bunch of questions I’d ask her if I had the chance, and then I’ll narrow it down,” Lucas explained, gesturing to the paper. “The problem is, I want to know everything about her. I want to know what she’s thinking at all times and what kind of future she wants and if she’s scared of the dark and her favorite scent and--”
“Yeah, I get it, dude,” Kun laughed softly, patting his brother’s back. “You know, this is just the first step to getting to do all that. You just have to be patient and not screw this up. But you also need to remember that she feels that connection toward you, too. You’ll end up together, you just need to take baby steps, okay?”
Lucas nodded, giving a grateful smile to the older wolf, “Okay, I got it. Thanks, Kun. Also, do you mind helping me narrow it down?”
“Alright, well first thing you need to do,” Kun began, picking up the pencil and drawing a line through a question about your weight, “is never ask anybody that.”
“It’s an important question!”
“Do you wanna get hit?”
Lucas shrugged, “I dunno, depends on the situation.”
-
You didn’t see Lucas for a week. The only traces of him you saw were him smiling and waving to you when you’d see him around campus, accompanied with a cheery, “hi, ____!” that made your heart swell for a reason you still didn’t understand.
You also didn’t understand why you missed seeing him and having him talk to you, even if it was in languages you didn’t know. Part of you debated going up to him whenever you saw him, but you always forced yourself to keep walking. You also knew you had his number since he texted you ever now and then, but you didn’t want to text him first, either. You weren’t sure what was wrong with you, but you hated and loved it at the same time. It was all very conflicting.
On Friday, Lucas had decided he had the perfect five questions to ask you, so he tracked you down by following the pull. It was the end of the day, but you were still in the library where you were sitting alone at a table with a laptop open in front of you. He saw that you had both headphones in your ears, but he still strode over and sat down across from you anyway, his classic smile still stuck on his face.
When you saw movement across from you, you slowly looked away from your screen and up at the grinning boy. You tugged on headphone out, letting the bud fall and hang by the wire.
“Hi!” he chirped.
You just nodded your head in a greeting.
You then watched as he took a folded piece of paper out from his jacket pocket and placed it on the table before he opened it, “I have questions.”
You chuckled, finding the fact he actually wrote them down to be kind of adorable.
‘Since when do you find anything adorable?’
Were you possibly losing your mind? Yes.
“Alright, shoot,” you sighed as you closed your laptop and folded your hands together on top of it.
“First,” he interrupted, holding up a finger as he gave you a serious look. This was the first time he looked at you without smiling, and you couldn’t help but think that the way he looked at you with wide eyes made him look like a puppy, “you have to promise you’ll answer 100% truthfully.”
You just shrugged, “I have nothing to hide.”
But then Lucas held out his pinkie, wanting you to link yours with his, and you suddenly felt a flood of nervousness in the pit of your stomach. Reluctantly, you wrapped your pinkie around his, trying to ignore the warm feeling touching him gave you.
His smile returned, his eyes moving down to his paper when he’d removed his hand, “First question: what languages can you speak?”
“Spanish, Portuguese, Korean, and Thai,” you replied boredly, resting your chin in one of your hands.
Lucas brightened at this, “Are you Thai?”
You nodded, giving him a weird look, “Yeah... My mom’s from--”
“Me too!” he burst loud enough for people nearby to give quizzical looks and glares to the both of you.
You put a finger to your lips, and Lucas only giggled, rolling his eyes.
“How do you know Spanish and Portuguese though?” he wondered.
“Is this one of your other 4 questions?” you asked.
“No.”
“Then I don’t have to answer.”
Lucas raised his eyebrows in amusement but still didn’t seem swayed by your snappy tone. He seemed to enjoy watching you put up this tough front more than anything and you couldn’t think of why he’d possibly like that.
Dramatically, he cleared his throat before continuing, “What’re you studying?”
“Astronomy,” you replied.
“Ooh, like horoscopes?” he asked excitedly, practically bouncing in his chair.
You looked at him like he’d grown a second head, “That’s astrology.”
“There’s a difference?”
You fought the smile trying to take over your face as you shook your head.
‘You’re an actual idiot,’ you thought, only to hear somebody else repeat your thoughts at the same time but in a laugh that would almost be considered...fond.
It was you. You said it out loud. You were, in fact, the actual idiot.
Lucas only smirked at you, not bothering to even tease you about your slip-up. Seeing your eyes go wide while your cheeks burned red before you quickly averted your gaze was enough for him, causing deep happy rumbles in his chest that you could barely hear -- you thought the building was making noises or something.
“What’s your favorite thing in the whole world?” he continued.
“Being left alone,” you grumbled, crossing your arms over your chest.
Lucas quirked an eyebrow, “You sure that one’s the truth?”
Your eyes shot over to him, “What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing, nothing,” he giggled to himself, eyes going back to his paper.
What he didn’t tell you was that he knew very well you liked being near him. He’d seen how you were with other people, and he knew very well that if you really hated him, you would’ve scared him off before he even sat down in the chair across from you. Lucas may have come across as dumb to some people, but he was quite smart and observant, especially when it came to you.
“What’s the one thing you want to do before you die?” he asked.
The seriousness of the question took you off guard, your eyes softening as you looked at Lucas who was looking back at you with the same doe eyes. You softly bit your lip, looking down at your laptop before your eyes flashed back up to Lucas.
“One thing?” you asked, your voice quieter than it had been before.
He shrugged, “You can pick more than one.”
Honestly, he just wanted to listen to you speak more -- and he was paying close attention to every answer you gave him.
You didn’t know why you felt the need to open up to him so suddenly. There were a lot of things you wanted to do before you died, but you weren’t sure if they were ‘in the cards’ for you, so to speak. But you shook your head, remembering that Lucas was just some guy even if you did feel your insides melt to mush just being in his presence, and you didn’t like people anyway. Therefore, you did not open up to anybody.
Not even cute, tall, multilingual boys who looked at you with puppy dog eyes.
“I want to graduate and get my degree,” you decided with a tiny shrug, averting your eyes like you’d told him your biggest secret or something.
Lucas smiled softly, his head tilting to one side as he looked at you like you held all the stars in the sky. You glanced up at him when he stayed silent, only to see him looking at you like that, and your entire face turned red, even reaching your ears.
“Yah, stop looking at me like that!” you whined.
He only laughed softly in return, his attention completely on you instead of his paper now. He didn’t even look away as he said in almost a dreamy voice, “Last question.”
You nodded, still avoiding his eyes, “What is it?”
“Do you like me?”
Your heart skipped a beat -- Lucas heard it loud and clear with his heightened senses -- and your skin somehow burned even hotter. You suddenly felt way too exposed in every sense of the word, almost like you just knew Lucas knew what you were thinking and how you were feeling. Subconsciously, you pulled your denim jacket tighter around you.
“No...” you grumbled, but you still couldn’t look at him.
“_____,” he sang in a teasing tone, “you promised not to lie to me...”
Your pouty glare in response was enough answer for him, letting out a loud, deep laugh that made your heart flutter. You huffed, standing up and collecting things into your bag. Lucas stood with you, going over to your side of the table.
“Can I take you on a date, then?” he wondered, standing so close to you that your arms were just barely brushing against each other.
“You already asked your five questions,” you told him, your voice sounding more like a grumpy child to him than an intimidating tone.
Lucas wasn’t even hurt by your words as you walked away with your things, leaving the library to go home. He continued to watch you until you were out of his sight. When the doors closed, that’s when he felt his phone vibrate.
He pulled it out of his pocket, looking down to see it was from you -- he’d only texted you a couple times beforehand, but it was always him that texted first. He was shocked that this time, it was you.
In the message was your address, followed by, ‘if you’re not there at 7pm sharp, I’m not going’.
He grinned to himself before he texted back that he promised to be right on time.
-
How you ended up at an amusement park, you weren’t sure. You did think the way all the rides lit up was pretty, but you still weren’t sure why Lucas looked at you and thought ‘yeah, she’ll like an amusement park. she looks like a fun person!’
But Lucas was holding your hand right as the two of you walked through the gates, so all complaints were left in your head because you didn’t trust your voice to speak when you were so flustered.
How did a boy break you like this?
He’d already taken you on rides, and he even paid for some overpriced amusement park food, but he still insisted there was one thing the two of you had to do before the date ended: games.
“I’m winning you something,” he promised with a sure nod as he led you toward the booths. Your hand was still engulfed in his large one, towing you behind him as you tried your best to avoid touching anybody in the crowd. “What do you want? One of those giant bears? A unicorn? Oh, I think they had minions over--”
“For the love of god, don’t get me a minion,” you groaned quietly.
He chuckled, “Got it. So...standard bear is okay?”
“I can win it myself,” you grumbled, tugging on his hand as he stopped at one of those ‘test your strength’ games.
“_____--”
“I can do it!” you insisted.
“Alright...” Lucas smirked, handing money over to the man before the man handed you a hammer -- a very heavy hammer.
Your eyes widened as the hammer dropped as soon as the man let go. Both of your hands were holding it, dragging your upper body until you were bent over, still gripping the weighted mallet.
“You alright?” Lucas chuckled.
“I...got it!” you huffed as you stood up straight, dragging the hammer with you over to the target.
“You don’t look like you got it, _____.”
“Shush!”
You managed to lift the mallet over your shoulder, taking a deep breath before you swung it down as hard as you could, hitting the target. But the little marker didn’t even make it halfway up the slider.
“Do you want me to--”
“Let me try again,” you insisted, turning to send a glare to your date.
He chuckled, amusement clear on his face, “You really shouldn’t...”
“I do what I want,” you muttered as Lucas handed the man more money, “I’m punk rock.”
He heard that loud and clear, bursting into loud laughter that had people passing by looking over at him -- and even some of the workers.
“You are not!” he giggled.
“Are so!” you protested.
“_____, having an eyebrow piercing doesn’t make you punk rock, and being punk rock doesn’t make you strong enough to win this game.”
It was definitely new to you to have somebody stand up to you like that. You’ve always hated people, you’ve always been upfront about it, and you’ve never had anybody tell you otherwise. Yet here was this six-foot-whatever dude who looked intimidating, was actually a fluff ball, and stood up to you like you were a toddler throwing a temper tantrum.
Why did you actually find it kind of endearing?
“Fine,” you frowned, turning to face him, “you do it then.”
“No, you try again first,” he told you, waving you to go back to the game. “You might get it a little higher.”
“You just said--!”
“I said you’re not punk rock or whatever,” he chuckled, shaking his head, “but I never said you were weak. Just give it another shot.”
Your eyebrows furrowed. He knew you were going to do shitty, so why was he telling you to go again -- encouraging it, even, “You’re wasting your money.”
“No I’m not.”
“But you know I won’t do it.”
“But you’re having fun trying to prove me wrong, right? And I like watching you have fun, so it’s not a waste of money.”
Your frown fell from your face, and you weren’t really sure what kind of expression replaced it. Whatever it was, it made Lucas smile so fondly that you thought his eyes were actually going to turn into big, red, cartoon-y hearts.
So you turned back to the game, put the hammer over your shoulder, and swung it down with whatever strength you had left in your body -- even grunting because that apparently makes you hit harder according to every boy in your high school gym class. While the marker didn’t hit the bell -- not even close -- it did go higher than last time. You had to admit, you felt a little smug.
“See?” Lucas grinned, clapping like you’d actually done something.
You huffed, turning back to face him again, “Just get over here and get the showing me up part over with.”
When he strolled over to you, he actually looked cocky -- and kind of hot, but you refused to feed into that thought. He paid the man again before taking the hammer from your hands, holding it like it weighed nothing.
“Let me show you how it’s done,” he said with a wink.
You rolled your eyes, going to stand where he had to watch you. It was obvious he was flexing as he readied the hammer to be swung down, but you caught yourself falling for the trap and staring blatantly. Lucas noticed from the corner of his eye, smirking to himself.
Lucas swung the hammer down, sending the marker soaring up to the bell until it rung so loud that it kind of hurt your ears -- you had no idea what it did to his, but all he did was wince.
The man handed him one of the large panda bears, handing it over to Lucas who proudly walked over to you and handed it to you.
“His name is Xuxi,” he told you as you wrapped your arms around its large stomach.
“Huh... Sounds familiar,” you said in a tone that had a hint of teasing.
“Good name, right?”
You just shrugged, hiding your blushing face against the bear’s head as Lucas put an arm around your shoulders, “I-it’s alright...”
-
After the date, Lucas hanging around you was typical. Even holding your hand and putting an arm around you was normal. He hadn’t kissed you or hugged you or anything, but he did small touches like that, and you blushed just as hard every single time.
He’d also taken you out a couple more times. It was actually nice hanging out with Lucas, and you found yourself planning other times to hang out over the three weeks that passed since the first date.
[Yukhei]: can I take you out again soon?

[Yukhei]: did i not tell you i go into heat then??
You were sitting in the library, procrastinating by texting Lucas. But nobody noticed when you lowered your phone away from your face and stared at nothing in particular with confusion written all over your face. Going into heat? What, was he some kind of dog all of a sudden?
[Yukhei]: ......
[Yukhei]: wait
[Yukhei]: i didn’t tell you about that yet
[Yukhei]: can you come over when you’re done?
You let out a sigh, collecting your things into your bag to leave. You figured this was all probably nothing -- probably just another lame joke he was trying to play -- but you left the library to go to his apartment anyway. You’d been there once or twice, so you remembered where it was, and you knew he had roommates there so nothing would happen.
The first time he ever invited you over, you threatened to pepper spray him, and one of them laughed when Lucas told them the story.
You made the 45 minute walk to Lucas’s apartment, going right up to his floor. Before you could even knock, he already had the door open as if he had been waiting for you or something.
“So?” you asked as you stepped through the door.
“Okay, so,” he began as he closed the door, but he began in a completely different way than you expected, “when a werewolf goes into heat, it means that--”
“What?” you asked, cutting him off as you looked up at him like he was going insane.
“What?” he asked innocently.
Your rubbed your face with your hands a few times before you finally dropped them to your side, “Literally nothing you just said to me makes any sense, Lucas. Is this another dumb joke of yours because it’s really awful.”
“I don’t-- ...Ohhh...” you watched as realization filled his eyes. “I didn’t tell you the werewolf thing, did I?”
“Where the fuck did you get ‘werewolves’ from?” you asked.
“From...me,” he shrugged.
You narrowed your eyes, not following at all, “What?”
Lucas didn’t see the point in making a big deal out of this, especially when he thought he’d told you already. Maybe he’d dreamed it or something, but he thought you knew about it. Still, he didn’t see the point in beating around the bush or trying to make it some big thing. He wanted to just tell you and get it out of the way so you’d know everything about him and how he felt about you.
“Yeah, I’m werewolf,” he shrugged again like it was nothing at all.
You stared at him for a beat of silence before snorting and shaking your head, “Are you sure you’re not confusing a word in the Korean language for something else? Do you know what you’re saying to me?”
“Yes, I know what I’m saying,” he nodded. “I can say it in Mandarin or English if you’d like.”
You frowned, “You promised not to speak in languages I can’t understand.”
He couldn’t help but giggle at your expression, shaking his head, “Do you want me to prove it to you instead?”
He found it amusing the way you warily eyed him up and down.
“How...?”
Lucas put his hands on your shoulders, bringing you to stand by the door as he backed up to the center of the room. You watched as he started to shake a little bit before his eyes melted from brown to gold, and his fingernails started extending into long claws. Your eyes widened, backing up toward the door, but hitting something much softer instead.
“Oh, I’m sor-- Yukhei, what the fuck are you doing?!” Kun cried, running toward his brother and throwing himself on him to stop him from shifting. 
The two boys landed on the floor beside the coffee table, Lucas letting out a soft, “Ow...”
You were frozen in place, unsure of what was happening at all. It was like your brain just completely stopped working, blinking and barely breathing being the only things you could do.
“I can’t leave any of you alone for an hour,” Kun huffed as he got to his feet before he reached down to help up his brother. “Seriously, what the hell are you thinking?!”
“_____ didn’t believe me!” Lucas whined, gesturing to you. “You didn’t have to throw me on the floor...”
Kun turned to look at you with an expression that looked like he was trying to think over things before he looked back at Yukhei, “Were you...explaining everything...?”
Lucas nodded, “Yeah, kinda.”
Kun let out a chuckle, shaking his head as he hit himself in the forehead, “God... I guess I’m the idiot that wasn’t thinking, huh?”
“Is somebody going to explain what’s going on?!” you finally burst.
The two boys looked over to you like they were just now remembering you were there. Kun quietly excused himself, slipping passed you and out of the apartment before Lucas slowly made his way over to you, golden eyes still on full display as he smiled his same Lucas smile.
“I already told you,” he laughed softly, taking both of your hands in his -- the claws were gone now, and you made sure as you lifted them up to inspect closely. “And I need to tell you because that means you’re my mate.”
Your eyes snapped up to his face, “What?”
“I imprinted on you,” he said nonchalantly. “You know what that means, right? I had to Google it the first time I heard it because--”
“Yes, Yukhei, I know what it means,” you told him quickly, your eyes closing as your brain finally tried to put all of this information into a coherent...thing. “So... Okay, I don’t know what this means, actually.”
He giggled, leading you over to the couch and sitting you down with him, keeping your hands in his, “It means I’m in love with you, _____. More than in love, actually. And I will be for the rest of our lives.”
Your heart was beating so fast and hard that you were sure anybody in the building could hear, and you felt your face burning with his statement. He loved you? ...Was that what that feeling you kept feeling was? 
“Don’t overthink it,” he chuckled, being able to basically see the gears turning in your head just from the look on your face. “I can explain all the details later, I promise. All I need to know right now is if you accept me.”
You opened your mouth, but nothing came out. You closed it, trying to figure out what exactly to say to his question, but all you could think of was a question of your own.
“Why did you imprint on me?” you asked, your voice just above a whisper.
You frowned, realizing how weak you sounded.
Lucas didn’t seem to understand the question, cocking his head to one side, “Why wouldn’t I?”
“Have you met me?”
“Yeah,” he shrugged.
“How could you like me?”
“I don’t. I love you.”
Your face turned a deeper shade of red as you tried to hide it without being too obvious, “Yah, don’t say that!”
“What?” he giggled, loving how he could easily get you so flustered.
“Stop teasing me!” you whined.
“That’s basically, all the fun parts, though!”
You huffed as you pulled your hands from his to fold your arms over your chest. Lucas only leaned closer to you, his head resting on your shoulder now as he looked up at you with wide eyes.
“Are you going to answer me?” he wondered in a sing-song voice.
“Answer what?” you grumbled.
“Do you accept me as your mate?” he batted his eyelashes this time.
You looked down at him, stood up, and marched out the door. But Lucas just stared at the closed door after you slammed it shut with eyebrows raised expectantly. He knew you all too well, and he knew exactly what was going to come next.
A knock at the door.
He chuckled, shaking his head as he stood up to go open the door. As soon as he did, you had grabbed the collar of his shirt and yanked him down to you so you could press your lips to his with enough force to even take him by surprise -- and he was stronger than any human.
You could feel him smiling against your lips as he held your waist, feeling vibrations against your chest that were coming from his own in happy rumbles and purrs.
Surprisingly, he was the one to pull away, keeping his hands on you to bring you back into the apartment.
“I still don’t know what you meant when you said you’ll be busy next week,” you told him as he closed the apartment door.
“Ah...” he let out a nervous laugh, “don’t worry about it for now.”

Season 11 episode 9-14 thoughts
I loved that when Kai feels useless because he doesn’t have powers, Lloyd immediately sympathizes because he’s been through the same thing.
He’s so hesitant to leave Kai behind! He even stops on the car and looks back, one more time.
JAKE!! J A K E
F👏O👏R👏B👏I👏D👏D👏E👏N 👏 S👏P👏I👏N👏J👏I👏T👏Z👏U👏 L👏L👏O👏Y👏D
Okay I’ve loved seeing this more badass but still vulnerable side to Lloyd bc I feel like he’s always either the damsel in distress or this amazing, unbeatable, savior
JAKE JUMPS IN FRONT OF THE NINJA
Aspheera’s stupid snake servant (char?) has the same voice actor as one of the old serpentine (either the fangpyre general or clancee or someone) and I can’t pinpoint out who
He’s hilarious though I love him
Okay my inner musician is coming out, but the soundtrack? The variation on the original season 1 serpentine theme? woAH!
Lloyd is so desperate to get the scroll back, you can tell he’s upset with himself for losing it
Honestly though, I feel like this is something Lloyd does a lot where he gets really upset with himself when he fails bc of all the pressure put on him at such a young and impressionable age (like when he thinks he should have helped Wu in s7 etc)
Anyway that’s enough Lloyd angst
Me? Crying because Nya is a wonderful, powerful, goddess? More likely than you think
The way they animate the water is so pretty, especially against the fire. Like it’s not sons of garmadon level cinematography (If you can call animation that) but it’s gorgeous
I’m so confused why is the Oni soundtrack playing while talking about wu befriending aspheera?
Baby garmadon and wu are so cute I’m crying
King mambo the fifth? Mambo no. 5? Coincidence? I think NOT!
Little aspheera gives me a lot of hermionie vibes. This season as a whole gives me a Harry Potter vibe for some reason
Tumblr media
This ^^^ makes up for all the flaws in the season. This cured all my life’s problems. This is the single cutest thing I have ever seen
UM GARMADON’S FORBIDDEN SPINJITZU IS SO COOL!
The ninja are so mean to wu. They’re out here acting like they weren’t the ones that released aspheera back into the world.
Also 99.99% of problems in ninjago are caused by Garmadon, Wu, and Lloyd
Clutch powers: I have a broken leg I can’t help Lloyd: b**ch I fought the Overlord, evil incarnate, at age 9 with a broken leg, don���t even start with me
PIXAL my Queen!
Poor Kai
Okay is it just me or is it kinda weird that wu feels far more guilt over aspheera than he does about worse things like Morro? Like I get that you done screwed up, but it’s not like this is anything new
“[Ninjago’s] fate it always at stake” I mean Clutch, you’re not wrong
Also, totally unrelated, but did Lloyd get highlights in his hair?
Did one of the snakes just try to eat a barrel of weapons?
I never thought I’d feel all these emotions about Wu.
“We’re a family” WELL THAT LINE JUST DESTROYED ME. Honestly though, that’s one of the things that ninjago does really well. It shows the love and relation between every single character
Also on that note, I’m glad the newly established relationships from season 8-10 are still strong. Lloyd and Nya and Cole and Wu especially
Well I audibly gasped when the explorer turned around and had 7 arrows sticking out of the explorer’s back, so I’m low key worried for all the 8 year olds this show is marketed for. (Despite the fact that after the last three seasons, that should definitely change)
I would’ve paid to see Nya bear up an old, pompous explorer
Ah yes, the legendary green ninja, whom everybody knows has just arrived in a ninja uniform, armed to check the air conditioning
Rip stuffed chicken; gone but not forgotten
Hey it’s the mirror of erised, Ninjago style... or wait it’s fear. So the mirror of .... reaf
LLOYD’S GREATEST FEAR IS TURNING INTO HIS FATHER, BUT AT THE SAME TIME A DIFFERENT VERSION OF THIS FATHER IS LLOYD’S HERO. I can’t with the garmafamily angst anymore.
Also just another sign of how much Lloyd has changed and grown up through the show. At the beginning, he wanted to be just like garmadon and now it’s his biggest fear. (Granted garmadon has changed a lot too, but still)
Why did wu just tell Lloyd not to handle the scroll and not Nya and Zane? Is it because he’s the grandson of the FSM or bc he’s part oni if smth?
“I said I’ll be careful” HOLY CRAP, IF MY SON IS TURNED EVIL BY THIS SCROLL, I WILL CRY
These last few seasons pixal has been amazing
OMG I THOUGHT PIXAL JUST YELLED “GET AWAY FROM THEM YOU B**CH” INSTEAD OF WITCH AND I LOWKEY HAD A STROKE
All of their forbidden spinjitzus are amazing and I love them.... if only the minifigures didn’t make them look like rock candy
ZaNE!! HOLY CRAP NOT AGAIN!!
Never mind he’s okay, we’re fine.
Pixal’s nightmare is not okay. That picture of them is not okay. Zane being banished is not okay.
wow, Wu’s our here like “I’m just gonna yeet myself into a foreign realm and none of you can stop me.” Now we know where Lloyd gets his “I’m going to go fight my father and none of you can stop me” from
THE CHICKEN
Also why is Lloyd, who is known for tripping and falling, sent on a stealth mission? I can count at least 10 times Lloyd has ruined something important or tripped and fell during an important moment. Knowing him, he’ll just fall right on wu.
FS Wu is actually really intimidating
It’s cool how they all throw the traveller’s tea to their most trusted. Lloyd to Kai, Kai to Nya, Nya to Jay, Jay to Cole and Cole to Lloyd
Oh boy, they’re just stuck in a foreign realm.
THIS SEASON WENT FROM “NINJA HAVINF FUN AND BEING A DESASTER FAMILY AND LEARNING HOW TO BECOME A TEAM AGAIN AFTER GOING SOFT INTO BEING TRAPPED IN A FORGIN REALM WITH NO HOPE OF RETURN” REAL QUICK

1- Man, back during the last 2 yrs of highschool i had this classmate i just hated, i hated his guts, hes tall and has this lovely golden brown skin and fluffy shinny black hair, eye candy, and he is so confident, your average fuckboy, I thought he was brainless but man was i wrong, he wrote motherfucking poetry and played as first violin for the city’s orchestra (where i only got to be a chamber player) he was always surrounded by popular pretty girls and i hates knowing i had no chances+
2- truth is i became bestfriends with his ex, who only had good things to tell about him, except that they were exes because he was cheating on her girlfriend with my friend,hes really social, well spoken, talented, i had the biggest fattest crush nd also hated him with a passion because i knew he would never be into the fat awkward non white girl, boy was i wrong I have a condition that makes me sweat heavily, and is normally triggered by stress anxiety or the slightest temperature fluctuation+
3- i was a sweaty mess the first few days because i was in a whole new country in a whole new continent, and when the boys started to make fun of me he just stood up 6’1 motherfucker, mind you, and said ‘’boys, thats not it’’ and the boys never said anything about it again. He also checked on me every wednesday, when we commuted during orchestra rehearsal, just came in the tuning room and smiled,said hi, and left. Turns out hes the sweetest pot smoker you can imagine(i swear this is nct related)+
4- graduation night we spent at a friends house, everyone was hungry after 8 hours of drinking so we both went in the kitchen bc only us could do shit wo burning anything. So while we fight over the right recipe for carbonara sauce he suddenly stops and leans closer and goes ‘’ you know i always wondered what you would look like when pissed’’ and then smirked and raised an eyebrow and went ‘’ but u are still wrong and theres no onion in the fucking recipe, get ur shit together you glueblock’’+
5- we accidentally spent a whole 5 hours talking about food and how he would love to be a chef but his dad wanted him to be a lawyer and how he cried himself to sleep every night because of that, he has this very bright smile and super loud laugh that’s contagious and festive.I was today years old when i realized why i hated Lucas so much at first, its because he reminded me of him, i have a gut feeling Lucas is just like this boy, probably the most lovingand sincere nct member.
he sounds really great except for that big flaw about cheating, but yes I can totally see Lucas being like that! He would definitely stand up for you if you were new and people were making fun of you, and he would check in on you and tease you and try to make you feel comfortable, and I feel like if Lucas opened up to you and started talking about like real and deep stuff, he would just open the floodgates and tell you everything there is to know about him.

アキレ〜さん〜お誕生日おめでとう〜
@red-dyed-sarumane SENPAI!!!!!!!!!!!! happy borth ur and old boy now and i did a cursed thing instead of writing something nice bc this was something that was brought up once and now its a must.
i hope u have a great day. buy the mic bitch. 
Adopting Risru
im so sorry for everything here it gets really uncomfortable at certain points but never crosses anything i promise i just had to work with a lot of tropes that most often deal with love so. yknow. i promise i love you senpai and im supporting you 100% !!!!!! this wasnt an excuse to write sickly things!!!!!! i look forward to more utaite conversations~. 
im not gonna read it over
Genre: cursed Word Count: 3877
The girl was sitting in her room, playing with her necklace solemnly. She sighed and began humming the melody to one of her favourite songs.
“Miwaku 1, 2, 3, kimi o tanjun ni, ubai satteshimau joudou, risei to no kyouhou,” she sang absentmindedly. Akire didn’t think of her voice as super amazing, but she’d been working hard on her range.
“Akire! Come downstairs I have a present for you!”
For a moment, Akire was confused. But then she remembered– it was her birthday!
As she made her way downstairs, Akire wondered what the present could possibly be. Maybe her mother would give her more money to buy albums but...thinking of the twenty something in her room it seemed unlikely. She could always hope though.
Akire heard a small noise. She looked down for a moment.
“Nani the fuck!!!!????”
Lying on the stair was her turtle Sui, on their back. Their toes were wiggling, trying to flip right side up.
Akire shook her head, “Sui, you’re such a dumbass.” The turtle looked at her. “Don’t you dare fucking piss.”
(this scene doesn't work anymore but FUCK man im still keeping it in)
Akire quickly returned the turtle to its tank and then finally made her way downstairs. But Akire was a clumsy baka so she tripped down the last three stairs.
“Itai yo!!!!!!” she shouted, like the damn weeb she was. She landed on her stomach, arms out. She lied there for a moment, tired.
Akire’s mother walked up. “Let’s go! We’re going to the pet store for your birthday!”
Akire shot up immediately. Would she finally be able to buy Water Vapor!?
“No more turtles though,” her mother said.
Akire pouted but understood. Her turtles were dumb. Cleaning their tank was work. Maybe she could get a cute little cat...
The idea of a cat got Super Nuko Ni Naritai stuck in her head. She began reciting the odd part at the beginning, making her mother shake her head in disappointment, but not surprise.
Upon finally reaching the pet store, Akire dashed inside. The cute dogs at the front of the store caught her eye immediately. She stayed at the windows where a bulldog, a golden retriever, and an Australian shepherd were playing. She was cooing and melting over their excitement.
A cat to her right caught her eye. Akire quickly moved onto the cats, watching the lazy balls of fur sitting, watching, waiting. They were so kawaii!!!!!!!!! She began singing Super Nuko Ni Naritai again, thanking the gods (Mafumafu) that it was in Japanese so no one could hear her inner furry.
“Hello! Have you heard of our new pet for sale?” a store clerk said, coming up to her.
Before Akire could even respond, the woman dragged her to the back of the store. In a cage was a small fox, a kitsune more accurately. The creature had odd navy fur, bordering on a dark violet. The orbs were an enchanting blue, curious, and unmoving.
“He’s only $42,069! So cheap for such a rare specimen!” the clerk said. She seemed desperate.
“Uhm-” Akire didn’t have that sort of money.
“Come on!!!!! He’s very cute.” As if to demonstrate this point, the clerk waved a treat in front of the glass. The kitsune perked up, but instead of doing a trick, he growled and scratched at the glass. When the treat didn’t magically osmosis through the glass, he backed up and crashed into the barrier, only to fall back into his cage.
“Cute...sure...” Akire said with suspicion.
“He’s just uhm...he takes some getting used to!” the clerk declared, seemingly more desperate.
Somehow, someway the gods above (Yukimi) must have carried Akire towards the cage, because before she knew it, she was standing in front of the creature.
Akire held out her hand, expecting the kitsune to start growling again. But instead the little fox sat and watched her. When Akire moved her hand to the side, it followed the movement.
“I think he likes you!” the clerk said rather forcefully. “You should buy him!”
Akire shook her head, “Oh I really don’t have that sort of money...I spend it on uhm, various musical interests.” Akire thought of her many albums.
Her mother walked up to the two. “Oh! What a cute little fox. Do you want him?” she asked her daughter.
“It’s expensive though...”
“How much?”
“$42,069,” Akire replied.
“Oh that’s perfectly fine!” her mother beamed. “It’s your birthday, we can afford it!!!!”
Akire watched as the poor kitsune was wrangled out of its cage. The creature didn’t seem to like the store clerks too much. Akire felt bad for him. He was kawaisou.
After the transaction at the counter, the store clerk turned to Akire. The creature was now in a small cage, with a leash (did....did leashes even work on foxes? Were you supposed to walk it???) and a blanket.
“What would you like to name him?”
Akire couldn’t explain why she thought of this name. Maybe it held some relevance to her in some other universe, perhaps it was the name of another utaite that she so loved.
“Risru,” she replied. The kitsune – now Risru – hummed at the sound, as if in approval (I really don’t know what to say here, really, what DOES the fox say. Like???? It doesn't bork does it??? no????????????? wa pa pa papapow! wa pa pa papapow!!)
***
At home, Akire was playing with Risru. For the first hour or so, he was curious, but still hesitant. He would only bring himself about a foot towards her, before scurrying off. The only thing that would keep him near her was a snack.
“Risru-chan! Kocchi kocchi!!!!” she cried. Akire waved a toy in front of her, piquing the curiosity of the kitsune.
The fox squeaked and jumped towards the toy, evidently landing in Akire’s lap. She rubbed behind his ears, giving him ALL the good rubs and pats. Risru stilled first, tense and uncertain. But after such pat, very rub, he calmed and leaned into Akire.
The time seemed to have flown by, and Akire was being called for dinner.
“So, how is he?” her mother asked.
Akire quickly responded, “He’s cute! I don’t know why he likes me though...I’m just super plain...”
Her mother chuckled, “Ha ha, maybe you’re just special!”
Akire rolled her eyes. “Special” she wasn’t special she was just a normal girl who definitely didn’t have magic powers or super strong strength or a great voice, s u r e.
She finished her dinner quickly and went upstairs. It was the ripe time of nine o’clock. Akire stopped by the bathroom mirror, catching herself and her very plain-boring-definitely-not-actually-super-pretty-and-will-cause-a-love-triangle appearance.
Her waist-length, brown hair hung, surrounded her face and simple brown orbs. Akire sighed, and didn’t mind whatever the mirror showed her. She began walking back to her room. Noticing the time, she sent out Oha’s to her favourite utaite.
“Silvana-oniichan!!! Ohayougozaimasu!!!!!!!!!!! And send tweet.”
As she walked into her room, she bumped into someone. The sudden crash surprised her, sending her phone out of her hand.
“Kyaaaaa~”
Suddenly Akire felt as though this was some school hallway. There were people staring as she fell down dramatically, her hair flowing majestically behind her.
She looked up and met with a face. If this was some dumb manga he’d be the new kid in school.
“Are you alright?” he asked.
Oh no. He was hot.
The man helped her up. Akire felt all the blood rush to her cheeks as he did. His sapphire blue orbs twinkled, her reflection within them. His messy blue hair somehow flowed perfectly, cutely circling his face. Akire looked up further...were those...ears?
The man looked quite confused, “Akire-chan? Are you okay?”
Akire felt his hand touch her shoulder to check her condition. The touch sent tingles and shivers all over her body. Was this a good thing?
“Ah! Yes...arigatou...uhm...”
“Risru,” he finished for her.
It caught Akire off guard. “Ri..Risru-chan?”
He blinked – God (Isubokuro) even the way he blinked was perfect. His mouth pulled into a sweet smile, his teeth perfectly in line. “Yes, Akire-chan?”
Startled, Akire scurried back, tripping over her bottle of tea and falling onto the floor. “What...Risru...what happened!? WHAT!!???” She looked at him, now from a different perspective she noticed something. He didn’t have a shirt on! In fact, the only thing covering up his...member ( imsorryimsorryimsorryimsorryimsorryimsorry ;)))))))))) was a random piece of cloth.
Akire turned her face away, not without a glance at his sculpted, fine, perfect abs. His six pack made her blush even more redder.
“Go put on a shirt! Or something!!” she demanded.
Risru quickly apologized and went to find one of Akire’s many oversized sweaters. He threw on Akire’s favourite MCR T-shirt and pulled his hair into a messy bu-
“What the fuck!! What the hell did you do with Risru-chan?? Give him back!” Akire somehow turned chibi and began hitting the full grown man with her fists like they did in the anime.
Risru laughed. His laugh was cute, admittedly. But...it’s not like she’d ever say that!!! Baka!!!!! The way his voice carried throughout the room, and sent warmth through her was nice. Akire would like to hear his laugh a lot.
Risru’s laugh was contagious. Akire found herself laughing as well.
“Kawaii,” he whispered, as if in awe.
“Eh???????????”
“You’re cute. Your smile is nice, I hope to see it more,” he said. “Yoroshiku onegaishimasu~~~” He bowed, showing off the cute, fluffy ears atop his head. But they were bad ears that were obviously made by an amateur furry artist because he also had his normal ears so he had four ears and it looked dumb.
Akire flushed EVEN harder. Her face was most certainly as red as Mafumafu-sama’s orbs. “Th-this still doesn’t explain what you did with Risru-chan!”
Risru scratched his head awkwardly, his ears twitching (the furry ones, not the human ones). “Well, I’m actually cursed by a great mage...” his tail swished sadly. “For 12 hours of the day I’m able to assume my normal form, for the other 12 I’ve been cursed to stay in the body of a-”
“Fox?”
“A human.”
Akire stared. “You...you’re supposed to be a fox?”
Risru looked extremely sad. He nodded.
“But...why would you want to be a fox?” Akire tried to ignore the very Shrek-Like Plot that Risru-chan had just presented to her.
Risru looked almost insulted. “The pets! The rubs! I’m so cute when I’m a fox, tons of people just wanna pet me. But after the curse I turned temperamental, that’s why I was so angry with all the staff at that store. Stupid human emotions.”
Akire just sighed, supposing that receiving physical affection was a good enough reason to want to be an animal. She supposed that being a fox also meant not having to go to school or work at all either.
“Akire?” he mother called up from the bottom of the stairs. “What are you yelling about up there??????”
Akire swore, “Risru-chan, you can’t be loud. I...I have to hide you! This is a secret, okay? You said for twelve hours?”
“Yeah from 8pm to 8am.”
“You can’t leave this room from those times. I promise I’ll take you out during the day when you’re a fox.” Akire bowed. “Hontou ni sumimasen!!!!”
Risru ruffled her hair, and smirked. “It’s okay, Akire-chan.”
***
The realization dawned upon Akire quite quickly. She had ordered Risru to stay in her room, and of course, that would mean he had to sleep in her room and well...
“Akire-chan, you’re wonderful, but I don’t want to sleep on tea stains! I want to be warm,” he pouted cutely.
There was only one bed.
Akire’s heart began to thump. No matter how much she tried to convince Risru to sleep on the floor, that she’d get fluffy pillows and sheets from elsewhere, he stubbornly refused it all.
“Aw c’mon! You get to wake up to a cute fox~” he teased.
Now, if this was a good story (or maybe this would actually make it better idk) Akire would realistically wake up at like 7 in the morning for her morning class (as a result, wake up to a Hot Man which honestly wouldn’t be too awful if youre like super thirsty or smt). But luckily, Akire-chan goes to ~~Animu School~~ so everything works out!!
Akire conceded, “Fine! But you have to sleep as far away from me as possible!”
And so they went to bed. Akire huddled into the far-left side, letting Risru spread out on the right. She tried desperately not to think of his cute grin and Rock Hard Biceps, eventually falling asleep.
Akire tossed and turned all night, feeling trapped in her sleep. At one point, she seemed to hit something in her sleep, eliciting a grunt from whatever she hit.
As promised, the next morning a small Kitsune was resting under her arm. His cute nose twitched in Risru-chan’s sleep. Akire slowly woke him up, and he yowled (I DON'T KNOW WHAT SOUND THEY MAKE IM SORRY) before climbing all over her for pets.
Wait...how did he get under her arm if he only recently turned into a fox??????
“I wonder...” Akire mused. “Oh well!! Maybe he was just cold.”
--Taimu skippu to 2 weeks later—
Akire how now been living with Risru for two weeks...you know what that means dear readers....fourteen nights................
It was Winter Break (for the sake of this story we’re not going to change the times despite it not really making sense, even though I could do it very easily tis FINE WHATEVER) !!! Akire usually never went away, so she was extremely excited to stay home and do Absolutely Nothing.
“Akire dear,” her mother called. “You’ll be alone for the next week okay??? I’m going on a trip with your father!!!!!!! Stay safe!!!”
Akire gasped. Her parents away for the entire time that meant....she turned to the small blue fox who was playing with one of her dogs – the one that liked Amatsuki.
She would be alone with Risru-chan for an entire week!!!!!!
So, you know EXACTLY what happened :))))))))))))))
AKIRE DID LOTS OF TWITCASTSS!!!!!!!
Sometimes Risru would join in, doing duets to songs like Myoujou Galactica and providing the Scream during Hibana since Akire couldn’t (yet).
“Twitcasting is really fun with you, Risru-chan,” Akire exclaimed. “Your voice is so nice,” she continued.
Risru noticed the expression on her face, the way her golden orbs seemed to lose their glow, and how her smile was turning upside down. “Eh, I think your voice is nicer though,” he said simply.
“Uso darou!!!!!!! There’s no way!!” Akire threw a pillow at him.
Risru threw the pillow back in response. This resulted in a full on pillow fight between the two of them. At one point, Risru managed to hit her right in the face, and she began to laugh.
“Kawaii......bishoujo.......deshu...”
“Baka!!! Urusai!!” Akire shouted. She shot the pillow back towards him. Eventually Risru tackled her, his bulging muscles stopping her from moving.
“I think you’re great at singing, and you’re very cute,” Risru whispered into her ear. He smelled like cigarettes and coffee (risru never touched either of those in his life but that's showbiz babey).
Akire found herself getting embarrassed from the words. “Baka!!!” she threw him off and dove into bed. Risru was still smirking when she peaked her head over.
And then he kabedon’ed her to the wall, suddenly he was wearing a leather jacket and his jawline was perfect, cutting. His orbs were an animal’s, rough and filled with passion, hunger. Using a deeper, throaty voice, he growled, “What’s up?” He flicked his head up and did the weird man-nod thing.
Akire smirked, “The sky.”
Risru almost pouted, “What!? You don’t...buy my Bad Boy Act??? This is so strange. NO ONE has ever resisted my charms!! This is a travesty!”
Akire flipped her hair, “I guess I'm not like other girls.”
Risru was now legally contracted to get Akire to fall under his cute charms so she could give him all the pets.
(this is the part in the wattpad fanfiction where things start taking a very dark and somewhat unexpected turn. If I cared to actually write it, it would go something like this:
“No!! You can’t take Risru away! He’s just like you and me!” Akire cried out desperately. But it was too late. The Furry Collectors had already muzzled the fox and were muttering amongst themselves.
Akire resolved that she would save Risru no matter what.
This would be the training montage and Akire would become very good at nearly everything in the span of about two months, including things like knife throwing, dodging, jiu-jitsu and maybe like wrestling or something. Definitely a badass with a sword or something.
Her trainer is an old man and she left a note to her parents explaining that she was on an exchange and they for some reason didn’t question it.
Akire stealthily made her way around the premises of the iron-clad building. She evaded all of the traps and managed to successfully beat up the guards outside.
Once inside, she located the control room, where she shut off all the power. Suddenly, all the furries began running out of their cages. Some of them were in human form, with tails and ears sticking out. Others were still animals, dogs, cats, and the like running away.
Akire threaded through the mass of furries, trying to find Risru.
“Risru-chan!” she called, running from room to room.
Eventually, she reached a room with very big doors that said “BOSS” on them.
“This must be the boss room,” she concluded.
The doors automatically opened, and Akire stepped inside. Immediately she saw Risru in his human form, stuck behind bars.
“Akire-chan!” he cried out. “You have to run, it’s not safe here.”
Akire’s orbs glinted with determination, “I’m not leaving here without you.”
“Well, well, well,” a low voice said from behind her. Akire turned and saw a figure emerge from the shadows. “Look what we have here.”
“Let him go!!” Akire drew her sword, holding it by her side. She charged at what seemed to be a slightly older man. His eyes flashed purple and he grinned, drawing two swords.
The two engaged in an epic fight, with Risru watching helplessly from the sides.
“Muahahahahah!!! You are a foolish little girl,” the man declared. “My project is almost complete. By midnight, your little fox’s worst dream will come true,” he sneered.
“No!” Akire shouted. She delivered a blow to his arm, knocking one of the swords out of the Villain’s hands.
“Yes! He will become a full human!!”
Akire gasped, her confusion stunning her for a moment. “YOU MONSTER! HOW COULD YOU DO THAT TO HIM!?” Risru howled from the side out of despair. Akire felt her heart growing heavy. Risru-chan didn’t deserve any of this!!
Fueled by anger, Akire pulled out her ultimate weapon, a shiny red button.
“I only wanted to save Risru-chan. But I can’t forgive you,” Akire said sternly. Her eyes were shaded by her bangs, and the shading around her pupils looked different to signify how serious she was getting.
Akire clicked the button she had and was suddenly enveloped in light. She was lifted into the air, and her eyes closed calmly. Suddenly, all of her clothing was being replaced with stuff that looked like it was from an idol game, her hair was being done up, and her sword was growing bigger.
Some random angel choir seemed to be singing one of her favourite songs, yet again.
“春と黒髪 夏の浅瀬 秋色の頬 冬は寝起きの悪い君も”
Akire turned all her attention on Villain-san and charged at him with her power. “You won’t get away with this!” she cried out.
The villain was overwhelmed, he screeched as Akire knocked him unconscious.
“ボクはボクはどれも好きだったよ”
Akire turned to Risru, who was still locked in the cage. She raised her hand and some weird magic energy flew out of it, blowing up a portion. Risru-chan ran out, meeting Akire for a hug.
“山紫水明 染まる君と 百花繚乱の日々よ 記憶の彼方へ”
Risru’s shirt was ripped, showing off his Rock Hard Abs. “I missed you so much Akire-chan.”
“Me too Risru-chan. I was so worried,” she exclaimed. “All my training, everything paid off.”
“I knew you could do it. After all, kimi wa boku no (pico) kawaii bishoujo desu.”
Akire’s chocolate orbs sparkled, “Of course, I’m not like other girls.” She threw on her favourite MCR sweatshirt, and threw her hair into a messy bu-
An alarm went off in the building. People were scattering, running around causing a panic. One scientist ran past them, “It’s gonna blow! Our great overlord has fallen!! Someone carry his body out!!”
“ずっと見惚れたい”
Risru held her hand and they ran out of the building, Akire’s magical girl appearance slowly falling, leaving her in the clothes she came in.
“ずっと触りたい”
They reached a window, but it was high up, at least four stories. “We’re going to have to jump,” Risru said, his voice trembling. “Hold onto me, okay Akire-chan?”
“さよなら さよなら”
Risru leaped off of the building with inhuman skill (bcos he is a furry and anime logic) landing safely on the ground. The two quickly began to run.
Behind them the building was being ripped apart with white threads, slowly turning orange before the iron and metal makings broke, the explosion setting the nearby trees on fire. The sound and vibrations tore at their ears. Shrapnel from the bombs was flying everywhere, and the energy of the impact caused the forest to pulse.
For a time, Akire couldn’t hear. But she could feel the heat of the explosion as she ran away from it, Risru by her side.
“季節の”
It was pretty epic.
“折々にて”
Yeah I think it would go like that. And then after she’d return her magical girl button to her trainer and come back home as if nothing happened and they didn't just get rid of some furry-destroying organization. But in reality this would never finish bc wattpad writers have a hard time transitioning from slice-of-life to action and their action scenes usually suck no offense)
--taimu skippu to less than a year later—
“Surprise!!!!! Otanjoubi omedetou!!!!!!!!” Risru exclaimed.
From behind his back, he pulled out a small gift that was horribly wrapped. Akire guessed that the fox did his best, but if he wasn’t allowed to leave during the night...he definitely wrapped it in fox form.
Akire unwrapped the box, inside was a microphone.
“Ri-Risru-chan....” she teared up.
The boy’s ears twitched with excitement.
“How did you even buy this?”
Risru smirked, “Don’t worry about the details! Hatsutoukou o tanoshimi ni shitemasu!!!!!!”
~ and they lived happily ever after ~
:)) i hope you enjoyed that. please dream about buff risru who's plot revolves around shrek and anime and wattpad. thank u for hitting up my inbox so you could drag me further into utaite hell and i hope u get lots of albums

Being Alone, Animals, and Apparently: Morena ID# 40805 Gorgeous litte beauty with the sweetest smile. Very friendly Morena is missing her family and loves to sit next to her caretaker, thankful for hugs and caresses She has lovely and gentle manners and lived in harmony with KIDS and CATS. Walfing-on Love Manhattan ACC TO BE KILLED 9/18/18 Pretty Morena <3 A volunteer writes: Morena is a middle- aged gal in mint condition. She has been so well cared for by her former family who unfortunately could not care for a pet anymore. She is elegant, petite, well dressed, healthy and the perfect weight. Morena relishes our company and loves to sit on a bench next to her caretaker. Then come a smile and bright eyes! She is very obedient and along with her great looks, has lovely and gentle manners. Still, Morena whimpers at times and looks for exits, hoping to rejoin her lost loved ones. Petting her and hugging her make her feel better and I imagine that a new owner or family will bring back peace and joy to Morena's heart. Morena is said to be shy around strangers but played well with her human siblings. She also lived with cats (a bonus) and was very tolerant of them. In a nutshell, Morena is a delicious girl, very pleasant to spend time with, very cute, sweet and friendly.

20 Questions with Dr Ferox #23
Whelp, time for another blast of 20 questions and comments from the inbox. If you were brave enough to use your username I’ve tried to tag you (Thanks Tumblr) but if you were on anon, you’ll have to look yourself.
Would you folks be interested in me answering these sort of short questions in a video instead? Let me know in the replies. Now here we go!
Anonymous said: do u play mobile games on your phone, like animal crossing pocket camp? :O
No, should I? I haven't heard much about it.
@trisaratops45 said: Dr. Ferox, First off I just started following your blog and love it! I'm stuck using mobile so I can't see your faq information. I was just wondering if the clinic you work at sees any exotic or pocket pets? Of so what is your favorite to see and treat? Thank you!
Welcome! We don't see a huge amount of exotics at my clinic, we're not well set up for them, but ferrets are probably my favorites.
Anonymous said: do you follow any medblr blogs? and if you do, are you ever like 'thank goodness i don't have to deal with that' or 'man i wish it was that easy'? question tax: what is your favorite depiction of dragons from fantasy media
I actually had to go check which blogs I was following. No active medblr blogs in the list anyway. I often see real clients, in the flesh, and think 'Im glad i don't have to deal with that', especially when they describe to me their own gross medical problems as though I want to know exactly what's coming out of their orifices. All dragons are good dragons. I don't think i could pick a favorite.
@the-noble-banana said: What style of nail clippers are best for trimming a cat's claws?
Whatever you're comfortable with. I like these ones
Anonymous said: Do dogs get acne? Is that a thing? Just curious! Question tax: if you could shoot something out of your finger, what would it be?
They can get comedones with certain hormonal conditions (black heads) and can get pimple-like lesions with skin infections. I would shoot icy cold water out of my fingers. Great for hot days, and for stupid faces.
Anonymous said: Do you typically bandage and cover amputations? At the vet I worked at (I was only kennel so everything I saw was in passing) every animal who had limb amputation left after a day or two with the incision fully bandaged. My dog had her hind leg amputated and the vet (different one) had her in and out in under three hours and sent her home unbandage. Just out of curiosity is it case by case that you decide to bandage? Gave my mom a little heart attack seeing her all bloody and swollen
We might but a light dressing over them, but in an amputation of anything more than a toe there's often not much to bandage. Limb amputations are typically very high up the limb in dogs and cats and it's hard to bandage something in that position. Also, sometimes dogs eat the dressing.
@crimsonrose95 said: I'm not vet med, but I am into chemistry and physical sciences and the ask talking about chemistry being inconsistent is so weird a thought to me. Biology is way less consistent than chemistry like chemistry is mostly math with elements and compounds while biology is mostly names. It's just really interesting how most people start to think a science they don't like and have trouble in is just the science being completely inconsistent to them. Me included.
I get what you mean. Chemistry has a fairly distinct set of rules, even if they're rules you've not encountered outide of chemistry before. I was never a fan of physics, but it is consistent. Biology likes to bend rules. Life finds a way.
Anonymous said: Why does my cat yell when I try to use the bathroom alone? Question tax: what's your favorite thing about Australia?
Possibly he thinks you need moral support? Or that there's demons in there. My favorite thing about Australia is our universal healthcare system and gun control.
@foxtrottarts said: How common is dewclaw removal in dogs, and what are the benefits/downsides?
Hind dewclaw removal is relatively common at the time of deseing, if they're the sort that flop all over the place and lack a boney attachment. Front dewclaws are usually left, unless removed for a medical reason. I've written about it before here. https://drferox.tumblr.com/search/dewclaw
Anonymous said: Can a dog still have the MDR1 gene if they have never reacted to those drugs in the past (lets says a dog that has regular flea prevention of selemectin)
If the dog has only had a popular flea product containing selamectin but has never had ivermectin, yes they could still have it. MDR1 dogs typically don't react to that product, nor do they react to the annual heartworm injection.
Anonymous said: Hello, I had a question as google only takes me but so far, and the results were iffy at best since it's difficult to locate a vet or someone in a position who would know the answer. How much of a danger is animal or human saliva to pet birds? Some people say kissing the bird, or having another pet such as a dog lick/groom them is an issue, but I'm just lost on if any is true, and would love to find the answer. Thanks a ton in advance since it's all pretty confusing.
It is a potential issue. Carnivore saliva contains many bacterial species that can be devastating to birds or other mammals even through relatively small abrasions. Carnivores should not be permitted to interact with prey species and birds. Cats are especially risky because they're so pointy and because they effectively coat themselves in saliva when grooming. You can find some more information here.
Anonymous said: Hi Dr. Ferox, we recently had to put our cat down due to health issues. We're pretty sure he had FIP as the last week of his life he had every symptom but one. A website we saw said the virus can live in the environment for weeks afterwards and I was wondering if you knew any sort of approximate time. We aren't ready for another cat yet but occasionally foster a kitten and don't want to bring one into the house and have it get sick
I typically reccomnd 4 months, and replacing bedding, litter trays and food dishes. While you are probably fine with 3 months, given the incurable and devestating nature of FIP (Feline Infection Peritonitis) I prefer to err on the side of caution.
@kumoi-no-hikari said: I got a couple rats a few months ago and the lady I bought them from mentioned that most vets don't know much about rats and will probably do more harm than good unless the situation is extreme. Is that true? They haven't had any issues, but I'm worried about traumatizing them or wasting money if they ever have a problem.
Some vets will certainly be better equiped or more interested in treating rats than others, but you'll only know if you call around and ask them. If they're not keen on seeing rats, they might know somebody who is. I think saying 'most vets don't know X' is unfair when you look at the diversity of vets in the world. Call around, plan for the worst ahead of time.
Anonymous said: Do you know how taxidermy works? I plan this route for my cat when she's passes, do I have to contact them before the body stiffens or position her first?
No idea. But I would contact them well in advance incase they have waiting lists or something. But I would think very carefully about whether taxidermy of a pet is something you definitely want.
Anonymous said: Hey there! What’s your favorite brand of stethoscope?
The Littman is what I use and have been very happy with my Classic II.
Anonymous said:Our poodle mix loved grabbing a mouthful of food then running to the living room to eat it - not necessarily to be near us, he just would eat over carpet. Sometimes we'd rearrange the living room so it wasn't a direct shot from the dining room and he'd still run around the furniture to eat there. He also once pooped one piece on each stair when we were gone all day for some unfathomable reason.
There is so much that could be going on there, but since you didn't seem to ask a question I'm not sure what you'd like me to say.
Anonymous said: On the topic if dog eating things they shouldn't. A shitzu swallowed the end of a large chew bone whole and when she puked It up it was about the size of my fist.
Little dogs often seem to overestimate what they can safely eat. Westies seem to be the worst for this though, and are a common breed to see for stuff getting stuck in their oesophagus.
Anonymous said: About people thinking vets are scammers, my family was so bad with this when I was a child. I remember I had a sick kitten, I was around 8, it had some lung issues and I begged and cried to vet it and my dad said "pray really really really hard to God every hour, and maybe he'll bring a miracle!" and the cat died the next day :( I get so LIVID when people refuse taking their pets to vets for stuff that cannot wait. Makes me wanna slap those people senseless!
Your Dad sounds like a lazy asshole and a cheapskate. Even if god existed, I'm pretty sure he wouldn't appreciate being dialed up for a miracle like a pizza delivery.
Anonymous said: i just wanted to tell you that i recently adopted an older orange tabby cat (dsh) and he is large. like not just fat (which we are working on), but unusually tall and long. like. maine coon size. he has so far used his size to swipe bacon off a kitchen counter and remain an effective roadblock. he's very calm and sweet, i love my big fat baby.
Congratulations on your new addition! I'm sure your big orange boy loves you back too.
@mise-en--place said: Thought you might appreciate this. We got records on a cat today and on a previous visit they stated; "BCS 5/9. Cat appears to be about 7lbs through the gloves and towel." We got a good laugh, cat was actually quite calm for her visit.
I received a history for my old cat Dippa who had once very badly bitten this other vet that only said "Appears healthy in cage. Vaccinated in cage. Dr Ferox is welcome to come and perform a dental on her own cat any time she likes." I took that to mean "I'm not touching this hellbeast. You deal with her."

blaines warrior cats human au masterpost
ok ok so i said i would do this and i will but i need everyone to know beforehand:
Tumblr media
ok now that that disclaimer is out of the way - this is focusing on my warrior cats human au, which i’ve been building for literal years and making content for. this human au is looong and detailed and i wanna let ppl know beforehand that this has supernatural elements bc i can and bc it’s hard if it doesnt. anyhows, this will be going by time period and i’ll split it up by arcs/super editions, ok?? 
also note that the time periods are not set in stone, and some characters ages will be shifted around [not too much, just slightly.]
OKAY LETS DO IT!!
dawn of the clans era [maybe around the 1600s (yes u read that correctly)]
founders of the clans are born; the events of dotc are relatively the same, occupations/history of the founders aren’t known yet, but all were influential to their respective living areas
clear sky/skystar makes a deal with a demon to bring back his lover [storm]; this backfires, demon ends up killing clear sky, clear sky comes back as weird demon/human hybrid [this is important i promise]
he and starflower’s kits are demon-human hybrids; clear sky is known as the first demon/supernatural element of this era
everything else is as follows in the arc, thunder is human and unaffected by demonic powers like his half-siblings
the “great battle” or the first battle, whichever, is notable for being rumored as a “not all human fight” aka a bunch of ppl from the 1600′s fighting off demons?? oh yeah yeah
thunder was a demon hunter, know that
cloudstar’s journey/skyclan being kicked out arc [around early 1900′s]
[tw for cults here]
cloudstar is related to clear sky/skystar; he has a vague “sixth sense” due to having demonic heritage [which he wouldnt know about]
he’s sorta treated as the “town weirdo” in a way bc he can sense/see things others cant - noted as being able to see ghosts/things of that nature, although many dont believe him
the concept of skyclan takes place as a sort of cult, almost; cloudstar’s ability to see/sense ghosts was noted by some ppl, and skyclan sorta took form as an organization who believed him?
it was more like a small organization rallied around his beliefs; cloudstar is sorta of an unintentional leader here
the whole idea is that he’s one of the first ppl since the 1600′s in this area who actually notices that theres somethin up w/ this small town, something supernatural
cloudstar leaves one night, no word, no note, just ups and leaves; birdflight and their children never really know what happen to him
[this is important, i promise] other “members” of cloudstar’s cult/organization slowly begin to disappear as well, symbolizing skyclan’s dwindling numbers
no one knows what to make of it, it’s a noted odd occurrence/tragedy by others
birdflight’s children [gorseclaw, spottedpelt] dont have as strong of paranormal sensitivity/sixth sense; it’s a gene skipping thing, more on this later
goosefeather’s curse [around late 1930s-1940s]
not much to say here other than goosefeather is one of the only ppl outside of the skyclan line who has any sort of paranormal thing/sixth sense
unlike the clear sky line, however, goosefeather’s isnt brought on by demonic interference; it’s an isolated incident/maybe a family gene completely separate
his is extremely strong, however, and much like cloudstar he’s sorta treated as a weirdo in the town
he’s a mixture of being haunted by what he sees/accepting it; moonflower notes throughout her childhood that goosefeather would talk/play with ghosts, etc etc
goosefeather can sense demonic shit tho in a second; he’s more of a spiritual doctor in a human au rather than a medical one; his ‘job’ is really talking to ghosts and connecting them to their living family members [he’s basically the ghost whisperer] 
mapleshade’s vengeance era [around 1950′s] 
oakstar [pinestar’s father, tigerstar’s grandfather] has his first kids [birchface, frecklewish]
meets sweetbriar [pinestar’s mother] when his children are in their preteens; eventually divorces wife
accomplished, a-list actor, relatively well known; sweetbriar is a sweet british lady whose also getting her hands into acting
mapleshade is born from an undisclosed time period; just sorta shows up one day? she’s just sorta there and everyone is a little wary of her, but she does her thing and isnt a bother
her and appledusk have a relationship, as u can guess; it’s not forbidden, but he’s very obviously cheating/not a good dude
mapleshade’s kids [adopted here] do die like in canon; she’s still dies in an undisclosed way during this time period
she never had to lie about having a relationship with oakstar’s kid, birchface [who dies at this point], but oakstar is still very notable in maple’s life here...for undisclosed reasons ho ho
pinestar is born sometime after, they marry not long after he’s born
pinestar starts to show signs of having that ‘sixth sense’ ho ho
tallstar’s revenge era [around 1940s-1970s]
tallstar is born to sandgorse and palebird; sandgorse is a miner struggling after the great depressions effects, dies in cave in, palebird is left as a single mother to tallstar
tallstar takes up acting in order to help support his mother; his story is relatively normal so far
talltail meets sweetbriar, a kind british actor a few years his senior who knows he’s gay/helps him 
he’s a closeted gay actor in this time; he meets jake at a gay bar, they have a relationship, fall in love, all that good stuff
tallstar and jake eventually break up on good terms bc tallstar’s busy at work and jake wants to travel, to move across the country, etc;; they’er wonderful friends and still love each other, and promise that maybe one day they can meet again and be together
crookedstar’s promise era [around 1950s-1960s]
crookedstar is born, gets into his accident, all that good stuff
he’s born only a few years after mapleshade died; no one talks about her and she’s treated as a ghost story almost
however, as you can guess, lil crookedkit does end up meeting her....although she’s obviously a ghost [or so she says at first]
the story is the same; crookedpaw is lonely, he talks with mapleshade and considers her to be his only friend, and he never questions anything about her other than if she’s actually a ghost or not
he still makes that promise of his, but after he does so, the bad things/deaths in his life occur
strange shit starts happening, he starts actively researchin’ mapleshade to figure out WHAT  actually happened those years prior....and sorta figures out that maaayyybe shes not the friendly spirit he thought she was
confronts mapleshade after willowbreeze’s death, asks her WHAT she is, she reveals that nah dude she’s not a ghost, shes a demon
soooo crookedstar made a deal w/ a demon on accident, spends the rest of his life protecting himself against her/trying to like EDUCATE others on this, and is the first outside of the skyclan family line to realize that this little town they all live in sorta has some supernatural shit in it and isnt so small and peaceful
bluestar’s prophecy era [1950s-1960s]
[tw for infant death]
like crookedstar, her life is sorta the same?? not much needs to change here at all
her parents are in a loveless marriage, stormtail sorta disappears a lot and moonflower wishes to divorce, bluestar and snowfur are just sorta Hanging Around trying to make the best of it
the events in her life still happen; moonflower still dies, but stormtail allows sunfall/sunstar to take custody of the twins due to stormtail’s “grief” [he’s just not a fatherly dude thats the real reason]
bluestars life is basically the same regardless; she does lose people the same, the poor girl basically has a hard life ://
she does fall in love w/ oakheart, although it’s not forbidden; but bluefur wants a political career, she doesnt feel a strong maternal attachment and her post partum depression after losing mosskit [mosskit was probably stillborn here, or died from SIDS :(((], she gave oakheart full custody of them
it was a closed set of circumstances; bluefur said she didnt want contact, and oakheart just accepted that she probably just couldnt do it and wanted them to have a better life
bluestar’s later life [when firepaw comes around] becomes notable, though, because that’s when “the gene” or goosefeather’s circumstance starts to show up in bluestar
she’s a late bloomer and later in life becomes sensitive towards the sixth sense ho ho ho
pinestar’s choice era [1950s-1970s]
[sorry for the shift, but i promise theres a reason why this comes after]
so pinestar is born to oakstar and sweetbriar, two high-profile, A list actors; he’s born into fame, basically
nothing really notable happens in his life at first, aside from the fact that, as you can guess, he starts to show signs of that sixth sense that cloudstar had
like cloudstar, he’s sorta terrified of it; he chooses not to speak about it, but at the point of pinestar’s mid to late thirties his physical condition seems to get a little weaker from stress
now here’s where things get weird; so yeah, before i get into details, tigerstar is half demon. he’s not pinestar’s biological son through blood, lets just. lets just get that outta the way
you still w/ me?? ok so yes, he does look like pinestar [there’s demon gene technology there somewhere] but the idea is that leopardfoot did have a thing w/ one of the demons ‘following’ pinestar
you cant blame her; leopardfoot and pinestar were together, but their two daughters died in infancy and leopardfoot wanted a child; so her n this demon had a little thingy do [pinestar knew about it, he didnt really care bc he wanted leopardfoot to have a child]
of course, after tiger’s born tho, he’s half-demon. a cambion [that’s the proper term], and pinestar starts to crumble after realizing the repercussions of what he allowed to happen; leopardfoot defends tigerkit fiercely, but this is why pinestar leaves eventually - he genuinely is like “oh damn i made. i really made a mistake.”
and THAT weirdness is why that had to come last nkgfd
FINALLY the first arc era [1980s-1990s]:
still w/ me??? ok now:
so firepaw sorta comes here into this town; i imagine maybe his mother passed away, and he and princess went through foster care. firepaw gets a new foster mom in this town aaaanndd....ITS BLUESTAR [the shift between her not wanting kids/wanting kids is a little important to the whole prophecy plot]
basically, everything is sorta the same??? firepaw sorta is considered kinda runty at first, meets graystripe and ravenpaw, goes to school with them, jams out, all that
except instead of the whole “figuring out a murder” plot, it’s “figuring out a murder + figuring out the supernatural shit going on in this place”
fireheart sorta just feels like the only one who notices the weird shit going on here; graystripe and ravenpaw are just sorta here and they’re used to it, but fireheart swears this stuff is not normal, he knows normal, this aint normal
tigerclaw having killed redtail sorta goes onto the backburner; fireheart doesn’t have as personal of a relationship w/ him, but he does figure out that tigerclaw’s an ass and gets him ARRESTED
the deaths/births here are all the same btw
however, tigerclaw gets out of prison and starts acting....sorta more strange than usual, unbeknownst to fireheart, the sixth sense gene/the fact that tigerclaw is half-not human catches up to him and he starts to realize, in his own words, that he’s a LOT different and more powerful than just any ‘ole human
so basically, this is fireheart the human verses tigerclaw the shitty half-demon and hell yeah fireheart brings holy water everywhere with him [tigerclaw’s unaffected by that tho]
everything is the same as mentioned; however, “the pack” is actually a pack of werewolves??? u heard me. werewolves, not dogs
brightheart would have a minor form of lycanthropism , im sorry to reference it but imagine bill weasley from harry potter [im sorry thats the only way to really convey it i apologize]; she has some sort of werewolf instinct and gets aggressive during the full moon, but she’s not a full werewolf
so tigerstar dies, yada yada, and firestar THINKS that everything is done, exceeeppttt
yeah. the dark forest? that’s a buncha demons. and now that tigerstar is dead, his human half sorta just “sheds away” and now he’s a full fledged demon
FOR NOW THAT’S IT bc goddamn this is so long, i think u guys can kinda tell what will come next in the story; tigerstar is weak and needs human help to get stronger; people make deals w/ demons way too much; this little town they all live in is haunted and has werewolves and demons and vampires and ghosts and yeah
IF U HAVE ANY QUESTIONS feel free to ask, if anyone thinks this is nifty i’m honestly gonna be shocked

hi!!! i was talking to my friend about this and was curious to know what u thought: we were discussing that we think that young rebecca is older Rebecca’s own manifestation of her anxiety. like, literally just a physical being for her anxiety. especially since when she was that age of young rebecca when her abandonment issues sparked bc of her jerkwad dad. and now she’s appearing again as rebecca is (clearly, imo) mid breakdown, to tell her that all her friends will leave her(which they wont)1/2
(2/2) i mean, paula knows everything, valencia knows a lot of it and so does Heather. also, re: her work friends, i think it’s the same in that they kind of know rebecca has always done wacky stuff that nobody really saw coming. so i just wanted ur thoughts on whether or not u agree that young rebecca is older Rebecca’s own physical manifestation of her anxiety, and if u don’t agree, ur thoughts on it too!! sorry this was so long n ramble-y!! love ur blog!!:-)
HO. LY. CRAP. you’re blowing my mind here, miss laura.
the short answer is, yes, i think that’s a totally valid interpretation of young rebecca.
the longer answer is to explore the supporting evidence, so, under a read more we go!
first of all, i want to say that “literally just a physical being for her anxiety. especially since when she was that age of young rebecca when her abandonment issues sparked” is such a clever observation and i have nothing to add. i just wanted to highlight how awesome you are for having this thought – you can tell your friend i said so, so she can share in the glory, too.
moving on. let’s list all the times young rebecca appears in the story:
rebecca’s flashback to her dad leaving at her room temperature party
‘i have friends’
‘a boy band made up of four joshes’
1.03 end tag
the very brief flashback at the beginning of 1.05 – naomi’s berating her.
the very brief flashback after darryl’s ex-wife asks rebecca what’s wrong with her
during the christmas episode, there’s a flashback of young rebecca being a mom pleaser
flashback during 1.13 of her and audra comparing grades
1.15 puberty flashback
and then she’s not in season two at all. man. i hadn’t realized that.
still, as these moments are listed out here, it’s clear that young rebecca’s appearance either sets up adult rebecca’s anxieties/preoccupations for an episode or is used to punctuate a single moment in an episode where rebecca’s feeling distress.
for the sake of being thorough, we’ll touch on each moment anyway:
1. rebecca’s dad leaves - if, in fact, your theory that young rebecca represents adult rebecca’s anxiety because that was the age her traumas really started to affect her development is correct, than it makes sense that the first time we meet young rebecca, her dad’s walking out on her. 
adult rebecca is constantly – consciously and subconsciously – preoccupied with this moment in her life. she seems to be aware that it’s the source of most of her issues, but she’s also determined not to confront it for what it is because that would mean truly dealing with her own trauma. this back-and-forth struggle to constantly seek the validation she never got from her dad but also not acknowledge that that’s what she’s doing is definitely a source of anxiety for her. it drives her pursuit of josh.
2. ‘i have friends’ - this song is basically an anthem to loneliness. rebecca was, is, and has always been very insecure about her personal connections (thanks, silas). she always has people in her life, but are they truly her friends? if they stick around long enough, will they not want to be her friends anymore?
honestly, the song reeks of anxiety and is drenched in the frantic energy of a sad, lonely girl trying to convince herself that people like her.
3. ‘a boy band made up of four joshes’ - josh chan is more a symbol for rebecca than he is an actual person in her eyes – and that’s never made more clear to the audience than it is in this song.
because rebecca met josh at the happiest time in her childhood, she conflates being with him with that happiness (i’ve always thought that the key to finding that happiness again is actually turning back to her passion for musical theater but i digress). in her mind, dating josh will heal all her issues without her having to do any of the work. he’s going to charm away her need to address her anxiety and depression. she thinks josh chan is going to unite adult rebecca with young rebecca – they’ll hug and be in total harmony with one another. because when she’s with josh, those past anxieties are rendered obsolete. 
………right s2 rebecca?
4. the 1.03 end tag - this one’s a little tricky because, as with most of the end tags, it’s there for the comedic effect and doesn’t move the story along. still, what we have during this conversation is adult rebecca trying to get her younger self excited about the awesome things she’s going to do with her brain, while young rebecca is very focused on the boobs. since adult rebecca – when the situation calls for it – uses her boobs as a sexy tool for winning male attention, i don’t think it’s too much of a stretch to read this conversation as the intellectually grounded, ‘i know i have problems’ rebecca warring with her ‘i need attention and validation of any kind and the best way i know how to get that is through amorous connections’ rebecca. 
so yeah. the rebecca who knows what’s good for her is fighting against her trauma…and losing, i might add. boobs wins out as the dominant topic of conversation.
5. the very brief flashback at the beginning of 1.05 - while we see young rebecca looking hurt and lost, we hear naomi’s voice saying “you’re selfish and dramatic and weird. you drove your father out of this house. you’re terrible!” 
the rest of this episode, we see rebecca trying desperately to get greg to admit that she’s a good person after also calling her terrible. hmm, i wonder what would make her so desperate for a retraction of that statement. could it be the fact that she’s anxious that it’s true and she needs someone else to tell her that it’s not?
6. the ‘what’s wrong with you flashback - young rebecca shows up for literally two seconds to ask ‘what’s wrong with me’ before adult rebecca plainly lists out all her most serious issues. do i really need to unpack this?
7. christmas episode flashback - in the flashback, we see rebecca trying to get along with her mom by cooking her food and appealing to her sense of vanity. during the rest of the episode, adult rebecca’s main goal is to have a pleasant visit with her mother because unpleasant visits tend to bring all her self-loathing to the surface. just the suggestion of naomi’s presence is enough to send rebecca into an anxiety spiral, but she can’t – as paula suggests – set aside her craving for approval even though she is now an adult and free to behave any way she wants. rebecca’s been conditioned to believe she’s unlovable by both her parents, but they’re her fucking parents – they should be the two people in the world with the highest capacity for rebecca love, right? 
cue emotional turmoil.
8. flashback with audra - audra, for rebecca, represents everything in life she gave up. though she’s definitely happier in west covina, a part of her can’t help but worry about whether she should have continued on the path that was set for her. therefore, being confronted by audra is a stressful, anxiety-inducing experience for rebecca.
additionally, the fact that audra and her are so similar and young rebecca sought a connection with her that was rejected speaks, once again, to rebecca’s profound loneliness and certainty that people can’t like or love the real her.
9. dream ghost puberty flashback - dr. dream-ghost!akopian brings rebecca to this moment in her life so they can start exploring the most fundamental cracks in rebecca’s mental stability. 
you know what, that was pretty succinct, i’m gonna leave this last one at that.
so, in summation, yeah. this theory absolutely holds water, and you’ve changed the way i look at young rebecca as a narrative device. thank you!

wings vcr theory ???? aka what is happening
wow ok so i thought that people connecting every era of bts M/V’s were maybe looking into it too much (and as a lit student like. i know what it means to close read) but via this vid (@jinjjarevil on twitter) apparently I WAS WRONG and here is the reason why
1) the return of jin & the flower petals
Tumblr media Tumblr media
as we are all familiar: the general consensus is that the 6 flower petals represent the rest of bts’ members (re: everyone EXCEPT jin), and it’s often agreed upon that he’s “filming” the boys because 1) he’s dead and dreaming them up or 2) he’s recalling all his memories with them or 3) the boys are dead and he’s the only one alive or 4) tbh pick ur poison i’m not gonna make this post a breeding ground for HYYH theory discourse, but i’m down to talk elsewhere !!!!
this part isn’t particularly groundbreaking, but it’s the first direct link to the young forever M/Vs
HOWEVER !!!!the difference arrives when the shot cuts to what jin is filming; it seems that there are seven people in frame? (this is at 0:52 in the video)
Tumblr media
which leads me to believe that, because WINGS is a continuation of young forever, it makes sense that jin manages to find his way back to the boys - something that connects itself to a bs&t theory i have. the general rundown of my interp is the (6) members are literally works of art in the museum, and when jin starts to “crack” at the end of the M/V, it’s because he joins them as an art piece; they’ve drawn him in (kissing tae’s statue, the hands over his eyes, tae covering up jin’s face with his hands, jin stopping to stare at the painting near the beginning) and this is how jin ends up joining the rest of the group
2) the focus shot of jungkook
Tumblr media
again, parallels to run, where there’s a solo part that’s just him staring into the cam (once after his fight with yoongi, again at the end of the M/V). he’s staring into jin’s camera and, subsequently, at jin himself - likely wondering 1) why he isn’t with the rest of the group or 2) who he is/what he’s doing
from a cinematographic point of view, this is probably just a cool transition shot, since the members all need their solo screentime + the cuts won’t be too sudden, but i like the repeating themes they’ve been using :0
3) taehyung's wings
in the beginning of the video, taehyung is seen matching himself up to a pair of wings in a box behind him. the glass to his left side says “YOUTH”
Tumblr media
the main thing to note here is that the feathers are white, compared to the thousands of other shots of tae with black wings (M/V, trailers, teasers, you name it). once he breaks the box to access them (AKA shattering youth or the illusion thereof), taehyung strips away his innocence - similar to when he killed his father “i need you”
white is a color that often symbolizes purity/chastity while black is. well. has evil and sinister connotations, as well as a demonic undertone, if you want to get biblical (hold onto this thought now; it’ll return with my jimin analysis), so it makes sense they’d use this color palette with taehyung’s storyline
4) hoseok’s wings
hoseok is seen eating his snicker bar (lov my man omfg), but after he takes a bite, the wall behinds him shatters into color. in the first round, the camera pulls tighter in on him and the word “placebo” can be seen clearly behind hobi
Tumblr media
i think this directly references the placebo effect, in which one’s condition improves/degrades depending on your mindset of your illness. in both eras, HYYH and wings short films, hoseok is often depicted dealing with drugs, pills, and medication. he and jimin are even seen in a hospital together (again, spanning both timelines), which leads me to believe that he’s using prescriptions to deal with the fact he’s suffering from something meds can’t cure. what is it? that’s a great question i only have vague answers to. it could be the fact that he’s missing his friends/bts family? is (still) suicidal? trying to cope with their loss? his condition has worsened after losing jimin, which is why he is in a max safety cell with all those pills pouring in through the walls? listen, who knows? i sure don’t, but i can definitely talk about the next shot!!!!!!!!!!! right afterwards, hoseok also gains a pair of wings, but notice they’re different than taehyung’s
Tumblr media
these are his BME wings (they show up in his intro, u can go check it out if you want). his corrupted wings. his Bad Wings. and they come from the crossover of boy and evil.
boy = youth = wings MEETS evil = dark/cool toned colors (evil) = bony (feather) structure
^ is why his wings look the way they do (thank u @ opening shot of taehyung’s YOUTH/wing box haha)
5) progression of their lives/jimin’s solo shot
there are five (?) consecutive scenes with all the boys goofing off together. the vid quality’s pretty low so i can’t tell who is who, but it seems like they’re all just chilling. hanging out. being bros. etc. so i’m lead to believe the first three “windows” of light (bc each scene is separated by a long black column) are before any bts M/V timeline. then you have jihope in a hospital/nondescript room together - directly related to run and jimin’s wings short - in opposite beds, being playful like their pillow fight in run.
last there is the truck with all 6 of the boys in the trunk from run
these shots lead up to jimin in his blindfold, holding an apple in his hand (seen clearer in the actual vid)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is his costume from bs&t/his solo stuff/is part of “lie’s” concept. the blindfold could mean many things, so i’ll focus on the apple for now. in his promo shots, he’s surrounded by many apples, something i was always confused about, BUT I AM NO LONGER !!don’t worry!!!
as bts has said multiple times, bs&t is about boys who fall to temptation, and what better symbol of temptation than eve in the garden of eden - the first woman who is unable to resist the forbidden fruit? DAMN THAT’S RIGHT !!!!!!! you can have him holding an apple - the figurehead of eve failing to resist her temptations and, therefore, the way jimin/bts fails to resist their temptations. this is why jimin’s holding the fruit in all his shots lol. it’s because he’s already picked the apple off the tree & “fallen” prey to his desires
6) Bangtan and the Curious Case of Looking Up
at the end of the video, right after jimin takes off his blindfold, the VCR cuts to bts all looking up at the sky, faces illuminated. this is likely a symbol that they literally “see the light” - a popular term that means someone has died and is crossing over to the other side/heaven/the afterlife. this makes sense, because of the HYYH theories imply everyone is dead or ends up dying (since young forever implies bts meets up in heaven)
the thing that sets this apart for me is the fact that EVERYONE BUT JIN IS LOOKING UP @ THE SKY. jin is the first member to get focus during this scene; he’s just standing there staring straight at the camera, a motif that showcases their character is detached from the rest of the members in bts’ M/Vs. it’s like they’re not quite there, even though one member may appear alongside everyone else (jin & jungkook in HYYH).
here: jin’s seen looking side to side, even a little upwards, but never completely like the rest of the members
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
besides his dashing good looks and impeccable suit taste, jin seems worried. he seems to be obviously, obviously worried. however, the other members don’t have this expression on their faces; they’re at varying levels of peace or happiness or excitement when they each get their solo cut (i’m not gonna put 6 pics after jin’s bc that would just take too much room due to tumblr’s poor image spacing rules rip, but they’re all in a thread in that link credit up top)
jin looks like he’s confused and baffled and searching for something (or someones ;;)))) amiright or amiright) during this scene - a motif that corresponds with the HYYH/my bs&t theory of jin being alone in some way, shape, or form
“WAIT” you say “BUT JIN DOES LOOKS UP AT THE END !!1!11!1!!!” you say
“yes my friend !!” i say
you are absolutely right. he is eventually seen looking up into the light like the other boys. however there are two things of things to notice: first is that he’s never looking up completely (comparison below)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
and right as he fades into the background - he starts lowering his head (it’s easier to see this when the actual video is playing) back down to the camera - his expression still troubled. again, this shows he’s still separated from the rest of bts, even though he seemed to be very close to joining them.
so maybe he’s still dead. maybe he’s still trapped and he’s looking for a way out and his distress comes from knowing his members are going Somewhere Without Him, but i guess what happens next is on bts.....
i hope they keep going with this storyline; i’d love to see where it goes :0
