okay!! safe ending done!! wowzers, what an ending! time to review!
First of, some complaints. Since i was skipping basically everything, the new scenes stuck out all the more, and they didn't really... feel earned. For example, Door 8. Going 4-8 resulted in a scene of Junpei poking fun at Lotus, so she tells him to fuck off, but going 5-8, the two get talking. Lotus mentions her former job, and she starts talking about "what if the human brain doesnt actually contain memories" and wireless data transfer which ties into all the telepathy stuff all over the game.
So why does she open up more to Junpei... on a route where they spent less time together?
edit. um. added a readmore. i did not realize for how long i was talking.
The same thing applies to the changed scene with Santa in Door 6. Taking this route means missing every opportunity to hang out with Santa beforehand (Door 4 & 3), yet this is the route where he just doesn't talk about metaphor, but mentions his sister and her death outright. Again, why is he more emotionally honest on a route where he knows Junpei less?
In a VN like this, ideally, choices inform what routes happen, yeah? Instead of things just "happening differently." Same with Junpei figuring out Ace's face-blindness because Akane decided to collapse for no reason.
Rlly, Akane's random fevers are the most plot devicey thing in this game, and I don't like it.
The only pre-end changed scene that made sense is Clover talking about Snake's disability in the lab, because Junpei was one of the last people to spend time with Snake. She decides against it if Junpei didn't spend time with Snake beforehand, probably realizing Junpei wouldnt know anything in that case.
And the random hint Clover has in her hand when her body is found is, hm. Like, when I went through Door 1, there just... wasn't anything like this, so where the hell did it come from? Maybe this gets explained in the true end, whatever.
I get the logic that the first door has to be 5 bcuz Junpei needs to know where the safe is, but it makes less sense with the Lotus and Santa scenes.
Okay. Moving on to: plot revelations.
So! I was correct! Ace killed everybody in the Knife and Submarine endings! And he targeted Lotus to nab her bracelet, which was all he needed for the 9 door, and everybody else was just collateral. Makes sense.
The motivation here is the new part. As soon as Santa said he's the CEO of Cradle Pharmaceutics - well yeah, that tracks. Explains how Ace knew what the sedative is. He was the one producing it. Explains his connection to the first Nonary game, as per my theory that every person is involved with the first one somehow.
I assumed he figured out Lotus was investigating him, but nah, lol, just wanted the bracelet. Fucker <3
Other plot revelations: though I do not like the method of delivery as per the above, my suspicion was confirmed!! Santa's sister is the kid who died in the first Nonary Game! Like, okay, he says car accident or whatever, but it was nine years ago, I can read. He's probably in the same situation as Lotus, where what really happened got covered up, and this is just the story he's been fed. Poor guy. Really working for the Santa nickname here. Aww man.
Right, next on the discussion block - Snake. I am so deeply satisfied that i was 100% dead on the money. He was alive, and trapped in the coffin.
I mean, you saw me speculating this before, I shall not be Ashe Bradley'd again, but when I replayed Room 5, i was all the more certain. Snake mentions his incredible hearing, meaning he'd never get jumped, and he was confident he could take Junpei in a fight, which he GOES TO PROVE in the ending. Not against Junpei, but, wow. When Clover mentions his prosthetic arm, oh yeah, it's all coming together, and this is how Junpei figures it out, too.
Also shows how Snake and Clover are connected to the game - Snake's been in it, and whatever happened injured him, resulting in his blindness and prosthetic. Also a nifty explanation for why he didn't recognize anybody else he might've met back then.
Speaking of, here is the one point i was wrong. Snake did not kill the Ninth Man, Ace did. It makes sense motive wise, as Ace wanted to eliminate anyone who knew his connection to the first Nonary Game. Still wondering how Ace knew about the verification before Zero or Snake explained it....? Whatever.
Thinking back, his face blindness is foreshadowed!! It's such a blink and you miss it moment. In the hospital room, when searching for Snake, when Junpei tells Ace that Clover and Snake look nothing alike... Ace reacts surprised! He had no idea they look different!
That's such smart foreshadowing, dear god.
Okay, next up - Akane. I already mentioned I don't like her plot device fever, and this end really takes it to the next level.
I could tell they copied over text from the submarine ending, where Akane tells Junpei she won't make it, but loved their time together, because she was, you know, bleeding out in his arms, and the same dialogue when she's got a fever feels way cheaper, you know? People can die of fevers, of course, but not like... this fast. Geez.
The thing that salvages this scene is the mystique of it, Akane vanishing, Zero saying he's right here... Well, that does have one implication, of course - that Akane is Zero.
(thinks about plot spoilers i've seen) (thinks about "is akane evil" discourse i've seen)
(thinks back to my "akane was in the first game" theory)
No fucking way, right? (<- in denial.)
Speaking of Zero. So, Zero reveals the mission statement that he wants to punish all those responsible for the first Nonary Game. Okay. So that's why Ace is here. But then why are other victims of the game here? Why is Snake here? Why is Lotus here? Why punish the family members of those involved?
Unless, of course... "The Nonary Game was always meant to save everyone." Maybe that's what Zero wants. Zero wants Junpei to succeed. For some reason. Hence Zero saying "I lost" as Junpei goes down with the ship. Whatever Zero's goal is, it hinges on Junpei.
Also, back to the Akane thing - on the assumption that Akane is Zero/was in the first game, that would finally give Junpei a Nonary Game connection, cuz he and Akane are the only ones without a confirmed one so far. He's here bcuz of Akane.
And, remember how I pointed out Akane's fixation on her childhood as odd? Well... if somebody were, say, seeking revenge against the company that traumatized them for the past 9 years, then fixating on the idyllic childhood before all that makes sense, no?
OKAYYY TIME TO ACTUALLY DISCUSS THE PLOT OUTSIDE OF WHAT I COMPLAINED ABOUT.
The Ace is Evil reveal was actually so fucking cool. PEAK manipulative Junpei moment, which is, hands down, my favorite character trait of his. If he wants something, he is going to get it, by any means possible. He's a lying and schemeing son of a bitch, and it's fucking fantastic. It was so satisfying how Junpei pulled together all the details I also noticed, all the little bits and bobs from the three extra scenes, to make the perfect trap for Ace.
Just saying "I'm actually Santa" to test Ace's face-blindness, saying he took the bracelet from Ace, confirming Ace has it, and then elaborating on why Snake isn't dead. Brilliant. Brilliant moment.
Ofc then Ace pulls the revolver, cuz fucking dumbasses left it there for anyone to nab. Also great setup, since i did door 6 first, i knew the revolver was there, and the guys just leaving it there in knife end was simply too good to be true.
Chekov's gun, in the most literal sense. If there's a gun, somebody is going to fire it.
Righto. The showdown in the incinerator. Man.
First of all, I was delighted to see Snake back, have my theory validated that he's in the coffin, though this does open the mystery of who out him there. Absolutely DELICIOUS tragedy that this is on the route where Clover is dead, and neither Junpei nor Seven have the heart to tell him.
Snake just going apeshit on Ace was a great moment, really impressive, really heartwrenching. If I gotta die, I'm taking you bitch down with me <3 iconic. Incredible. Truly Snake was Not Fucking Kidding when he said he could take Junpei in a fight. That scene of Seven dragging Junpei out of the incinerator... man.
Also rlly smart to bring up the prosthetic arm thing to let Snake go through the door. Pulls double duty as the last evidence that Snake is alive, AND for this moment. He just. screwed his hand off real quick to take the bracelet off. Truly more stories need disabled characters for spectacular moments like this.
I already talked abt my feelings w the Akane scene at the end here (the same scene in sub ending was better, but this one has more Implications), but I gotta say. It was so funny that Snake, Seven, and Junpei just all went through Door 9 without Akane and Santa. They just fucking left em. Presumably Seven and Lotus left without Junpei, but where did Santa go in this ending? Caught up to Seven and Lotus, leaving with them? Drowned in the ship? Vanished mysteriously? Who knows~
Oh, yeah, Zero probably uses Soporil to drug people, huh? Delightful little bit of irony.
Another thing... I'm incredibly glad that I played the bad ends first? Like, take the Ace twist for example - it's only really satisfying if you've done Knife or Sub end first, since it confirms that he's the killer in those. And it only became EXTRA satisfying when doing one of those in combination with the Axe ending, because this one confirmed to me that he's the killer beforehand!
And him being the CEO, Zero having a grudge against Cradle Pharmaceutics - only really matter when you've gone through Door 2 before, and learned about the 16 missing children, Seven's backstory, and arrived at the conclusion that this was a previous Nonary Game. Santa's sister being dead also only comes as a shock after this, because it confirms what I thought - that she died here, on the Gigantic.
Like, seriously, I would've been so much less satisfied if I'd done this ending first. You SAW how fucking long I speculated about Snake being alive, right? Today I dm'd a friend who is mildly insane abt 999 about my full theory, and then two hours later I got it confirmed. How much more would it suck if I just... got it confirmed in my first playthrough, and then played the bad ends? They'd be nothing! Doing them first, it's a gradual crescendo of information, pieces slotting together ever so slowly, theories evolving into a coherent whole, before the Safe ending puts them all to rest, and opens up new questions, new theories.
Like, sure. There's still value in doing like, Door 3 Route, but Sub ending is Less Woah when you've seen the lesser version of Akane's last words, AND already know for sure that Ace is the killer.
TLDR: I'm very happy i went in the order I did, and fully committed to doing all bad ends first.
AND THAT'S MY LONG FUCKIN REVIEW OF SAFE ENDING!!! i thought it was called "Safe" ending because. Everybody gets out safe, but doesnt resolve the plot, or something, you know average "normal ending" stuff for VNs. But nah it just. Involves a literal safe. Okay
NEXT STOP, LAST DESTINATION! PLAYTHROUGH 5, TRUE ENDING!

LITERALLY SO GLAD THAT THE FEELING INSANE OVER THIS SERIES IS MUTUAL FR ITS BEEN ABSOLUTELY TEARING ME APART id love to hear your thoughts!!!! *_* I have been itching to read more posts about it but also trying to avoid spoilers rbdbdbjf
I just started nona yesterday, I finished harrow few days ago but god that one fucked with me good I needed a bit to just let everything that happened sink in. like ITS SO GOOD it’s so much darker than the first book and I still don’t have the words to express how much I genuinely enjoyed the second one it’s literally so fucking great. I was almost tempted to reread harrow after I finished it but I wanted to read all three before any rereads lol but the attachment I have to these characters is insane I just fucking cling to them so badly I am so unwell. love gideon, my best friend gideon I miss her sm…
SQUEEEEEEEEEE IM SO HAPPY YOU LIKED HARROW!!! its such a phenomenal book its so. um. Harrowing. lol. im going to have a really hard time articulating just all of the Shit That I Think About with this book series because there really really is so much.
getting right into the meat of my thoughts i guess. i really love how Gideon's bit with Ianthe at the end of HtN recontextualizes the bit of the pool scene where Harrow talks about the first time she saw The Body. where it really does feel like in that moment Gideon simultaneously realized that she was in love with Harrowhark and that Harrow would never feel the same. And i think it allows you to glean some of the genuinely a little bit selfish motivation behind Gideon's suicide. There were a lot of things that motivated Gideon to kill herself so Harrow and Camilla could live, but i think a significant portion of it was her not wanting to live a life indebted to Harrow in a way she would never be content with (Connecting mostly to Harrow asking her to return to the ninth house and care for it ((and by extension, The Body)) in her stead, in the event of her death), which is to say in the grand scheme of things, the choice between Living for Harrow and Dying for Harrow was a very easy one to make for Gideon Nav.
I dont have as much analysis for this but god i think all the fucking time. About Gideon the First attacking Harrow in the bathroom. and the subsequent Everything. It's just so fucking. Bleak. Reading it is physically exhausting. It's so. oh my god. I don't even know what to say. Fucking "Harrow, do something normal." I'm Going To Kill Myself. Im Going To Kill John Gaius. The fact that she KILLS him and it doesnt even KEEP. THE FUCKING. THIS. HARROWWWWW
Tumblr media
HARROWHARK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO BE NORMAL IN MY LIFE AFTER IVE READ THIS
I do love John. as much as i hate him i love him as well. He's such a fucking coward. such a worthless piece of shit. such a suffocatingly interesting character. I love when Harrow tries to ask him about Alecto and he goes on about fucking "You'd make a hell of a daughter, Harrowhark. I sometimes indulge in the wish that you'd been mine." LITERALLY FUCKING WHAT. WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOTU WHERE AM I.what if you had a crush on a girl but you had an even bigger crush on her dad's dead ex-girlfriend and then her dad told you that he wished you were his daughter. i feel so fucking abnormal
EDITING THIS POST BECAUSE I FORGOT I WANTED TO TALK ABOUT WAKE. WHAT THE FUCK RIGHT???????????????? god i think forever about how much Gideon Nav loved her mother. how much she clung to the belief that she was loved. Has Gideon Nav ever been knowingly loved by anyone, in her life? Maybe Aiglemene loved her, in a way. But Gideon wouldn't have known that until it was far too late to treasure it. Harrow certainly loves her, but Gideon can't believe that. Not with The Body in the way. Not with Harrow, to Gideon, seeming so disgusted with her final act of devotion that she destroyed her own mind to be rid of the knowledge of it. Magnus treated her kindly, but kind is a far cry from love. But she loved her mother. Held the belief so desperately-yet-gently close to her chest, that her mother loved her too. Loved her enough to come crashing and burning through the Ninth planet's atmosphere and dying herself on the way down. Loved her enough to protect her life at the expense of her own. Imagine, then, for Gideon to learn that she was a tool. A key. Her destiny in life was to die within the first days of her birth; a blood sacrifice, as her mother willed it. Her mother hadn't brought her to the Ninth House in an attempt to save her, she'd brought her there on her way to kill her. Its So. God. Fuck this fucking book. Has Gideon ever been loved? Every truly been loved by anyone in this world? If she has, she doesn't know it.

Out with the old, in with the new
California never failed to amaze her with new experiences. Being so close to America's hot spot for start up wannabes and potential somebodies, she met some interesting people. Some were nice, some were unpleasant but anything is better if you pretend to not understand them. To get out of many weird experiences, she would pretend to only speak Korean. It helped that not many spoke it, outside of one woman who shes now friends with, so she could get away with alot.
Driving to her local comic book store, she always played the same game. Nerds who havent felt the touch of a woman besides their mothers gazing over at her like sad puppies, the store clerk asking her if she needed any help, mimicking a Korean accent to say she didnt understand, all so she could shop in peace. No one paid attention to the fact of the comics within the store all being written in English, with the exception of some French and Korean graphic novels that shes read 100 times before.
Everything went off without a hitch....until one nerd approached her. She stood at a comfortable 5'2 and the man was 5'7. Not just that, he looked like he had a pasta bowl put on his head and had his hair cut around that. His approach immediately made her uncomfortable, making a comment of how 'lovely it would feel to have her caramel wrapped around him' with a gesture that made her stomach turn.
She began her routine of pretending to not understand English and hoping she could keep the contents of her stomach down, responding to everything he was saying in Korean. Mostly no's and some forms of hell no's but he wasnt budging. Great, now he was calling her exotic. Now another one approached, tall, lanky with a graphic tee and coordinating sleeves to match. At this point, she was ready to pay for her stuff and never come back here.
"I have been observing this conversation and it has occured to me that you do understand him. In one way or another, you respond to what hes telling you. How odd, when he made a comment of your beauty, you responded with 제발 저리 가, 이 소름 끼치는 괴물아. And you lie with such ease! No increased heart rate or even a twitch...!" And as he rambled, her heart dropped to her ass. How she wished the Earth would create a hole right where shes standing and swallow her.
Now the creep wouldnt leave her alone, GREAT. "Well since you understand me, whats say you and I leave this store and we can create our own chocolate factory." The creep said and she quickly looks up at the taller man. "Look I only do it to keep men like him away from me. I hate to lie but he wont leave me alone." Rockelle flatly responds and the lanky man tilts his head then made a soft 'hm' noise.
"He doesnt know how to talk to women. His success rate is less than desirable given his crappy pick up lines in a failed attempt to woo you. Howard, shes not interested in you and your 'chocolate factory', in fact you used it in the wrong context as well. You arent a candy master, nor do you have whimsical features. If you did, you would continue to contexualize Willy Wonka with some stupid sex euphemism." Oh so his name was Howard? Ick, his name fits his nature.
As the shorter man walked away, she opened her mouth to thank her 'hero' and before she could get a word out, he lets out a sigh. "Glad thats over. Now move over, you are standing in front of a limited edition Green Lantern comic I wanted. You both were in the way and I had to made someone leave. Who attempts coitus in front of limited editions?" He directs, which she promptly moves out of the way, raising a brow.
"Um..." And she made the executive decison to never come back to that comic book store.

Metron x oc talk: AU fic edition
I like AUs alright. They're fine, they're fun. But so often those stories let the personalities slip, which loses me. Just because they're in a different setting shouldnt mean they suddenly act differently as well. Its the reason i usually skip AUs in the infrequent times I read fics.
But sometimes i want to entertain ideas of AUs for Heartbeat and Metron. Some of it's hard bc in all honesty, neither of them are very well fleshed out. And the other reason it's hard is bc their dynamic just doesnt hit as well if one of them isnt a god of vast power. But as an experimental exercise, im going to think through an example just for fun.
Lets go with a classic: flower shop AU.
First off, what tf would metron want with a flower shop? Nothing. Even if he were human. And ngl why would i want to read a fic where metron is human anyway? I wouldnt. So from the get go this is a hard sell.
We'll put Heartbeat in the flower shop then. She owns the place, having learned everything she knows from her late mother. Great, now how the hell do we get Metron there?
There are ways this could go if we keep superhero stuff in play. Theres some alien plant causing problems and he needs help, or a villain is using a spore to control people so Metron shows up for plants that can counteract it. Im not very creative so idk maybe theres something better, but both those seem pretty weak. Either way, maybe he mistakenly assumes HB has masterful knowledge of botany and so whisks her off to help before she can even explain. And okay that could have some potential but theres a problem.. we've left the flower shop. It's just an AU that is only circumstantially flower shop adjacent, and has only altered HB's origins but not much else. So other than that is it really too different than the story they already have going? Not so much to be worth exploring more in my opinion. I might as well put that energy into writing their actual story in that case.
Alright what if Metrons a human after all. Ugh, im not a fan but we'll walk through it anyway. So who the heck is he? Probably a teacher. A brilliant scientist with a lousy personality who works at a university purely so he has access to facilities and resources for his experiments. Im already cringing, like just with this much i feel we've lost so much of his character already. Bleh whatever, let's continue.
Now we need them to meet and have a reason to continue interacting beyond that meeting. The flower shop is next to the university and she sees him walk by every day. Okay sure. She wonders what hes like and starts imagining a personality for him (While You Were Sleeping style), only to have it all dashed against the rocks when it turns out he's an asshole. Maybe she attends some botany thing for work and he's there. She approaches him and he inevitably shows his arrogance. They argue about something he maintains is not possible, but she says it certainly is and she has a plant back at the shop that can prove it (im not a plant person so i have no idea what this macguffin would be). He doesnt believe her so she tells him to come into the shop sometime. He shows up later and is proven wrong but then demands to be given the plant to take back for study. But besides that being such a rude, selfish request, this plant was something HB had put a lot of work into and it was started/theorized by her mom so there's that too.
Um alright so we're now at a point of conflict. Every story needs it. But i dont know how to get us out while keeping people in character and pushing these together in a quasi-romantic way that ideally ends in friendship and one sided attraction on HB's part. Im not a strong writer, and as i said before, not very creative. But that's why this kind of exercise is needed sometimes.
Anyway, uh maybe he tries to recreate the plant experiment thing but just cant get it right, which frustrates him to the point of obsession. He storms into the flower shop demanding this time that HB come work for him, which she has no incentive to do. So more conflict there.
Um something something time passes. He walks by every day still but now he knows she sees him so he makes a point of scowling, and she makes a point of turning her nose up. That goes on for a little while, which makes me laugh, both of them being indignant and caring way too much what the other thinks.
And then im still stuck. What kind of event would cause them to become closer despite themselves? It'd have to be metron showing some appreciation of her, or showing some vulnerability. I mean what, is he gonna walk by in the winter and slip and fall so she has to help him? Im sure that works for tons of fluffy fics but i just dont see it for these two. So in order to save me some grief we're going to skip forward.
For whatever reason, they find themselves together not by choice. Maybe another botany event and they are randomly paired up idk. They first bicker as they go around at this event but eventually find they have more in common than they think. Eventually he mentions the thing he worked on that was a failed attempt at what her plant was, and they talk about that. Their unexpected new found rapport plus the topic of his own experiment incites him to invite her to see what hes working on. She wants to say no but shes also always dreamed of seeing the university's private greenhouse. So at night after this event is over he takes her there. Shes in awe of all the stuff he has going on. Crazy experiments. Lots of weird plants. She thinks its fantastic but doesn't want to admit it bc of his arrogance. He shows her the thing hes working on thats based on her plant and shes ends up helping him to solve his problem bc she sees he truly cares about this stuff. Idk what the specifics are, again im not a plant person, but imagine its a clever thing theyre doing. And so he gains a respect for her, and recognizes that just as important this science is to him, this specific plant thing is to her.
Um then they become friends and visit each other and bicker all the time and nobody can believe shes friends w such an asshole and shes like eh hes alright. The end.
So how was it? How was this little brain storming session? In the end i do think it became out of character and really the story didnt have a purpose other than me wanting to come up with something, anything. But thats how AUs often go. I think this story would be literally no different if it were about other original characters. Like, it doesn't rely on specifically Heartbeat and Metron. It could've been anyone. And to me thats sort of a weak spot in the writing. Likewise, it dint have to be plants and a flower shop, it couldve been any field. Besides that, it was very tropey but thats okay and where a lot of the fun comes from. If i were reading this id probably give it a 5 out of 10. Its not a terrible story, but its unoriginal and doesnt do anything special for the characters. But if the goal is to have the archetypes that represent Metron and HB interact, that was accomplished.

Breaking news: local artist finally finishes another fic he started and actually tried his best ( also breaking news: i actually write fics, i just dont finish many of them :') )
Anyways here is a little thing i wrote ( quite badly but i tried ) about the Idea of "Dream is small but he still get to keep his memories"
Its so hard to edit the story on Tumblr mobile what ;-;-
Btw i forgot mostly of what happened in OSD so It might be a little strange sorry-
Anyways, OSD belongs to @calcium-cat
Pain, thats all Dream felt for a moment, he twisted and shifted, trying to make the pain go away, even If It was for a while, It was also really dark too, he has no Idea what Night made him drink, but he doesnt feel good.
He felt panic as he noticed his conscience slipping away, as he panicked around, he felt a huge pain going through his entire body as he fainted.
After moments, he woke up again, as he slowly got up, he kept hissing at the pain that still jolted through his entire body:
-"Ugh, this sucks" thought the little guardian, "I wonder what Night gave me", as he thought, he opened his eyes slowly and blinked a few times before brushing his hands on his face to try and stir himself more awake, but he swears his hands felt...different.
As he opened his eyes, he took a glimpse at his hands, his tiny gloved hands looked smaller than usual, he turned around slowly to find his oversized clothes laying around him, and the clothes he was wearing weirdly looked like the clothes he wore when he was younger, as the realization crept in, Dream slowly realized what just happened, as panic began to grow inside him, he nervously touched his own hand and face while searching for a mirror.
It didnt take long before he found a small, partially broken mirror laying around the room he was in:
-"...It's becoming increasily obvious...I can deny It no longer…"
And, with a tired and defeated breath, Dream spurted out:
-"I am small"
Dream sat back while crossing his arms, how on earth would he even survive here with this size? he needed to come up with a solution fast, before anyone dangerous come-
*click*
Dream's eyes widen at the sound of the door being opened, as he panicked inside, he quickly jumped somewhere to hide, and for now, he needed to be careful to not be spotted.
-"Ugh, now to see how Dream is-"
Night paused, looking at the clothes laying around, It was silent, too silent, he walked over and grabbed a fistfull of Dream's present cape as he began searching for any trace of Dream, but his expression slowly began changing from a calm and neutral face to a worried and panicked one, he moved on from the clothes and began to search around the room, Dream cant be dead right? It was only a magic repressor he gave him after all.
Dream quietly watched from afar, and with a determined face, began to crept closer to Nightmare, ready to jump out and hopefully succeed to escape, a moment passed before Night got a surprise attack from a screaming skeleton toddler, he climbed Night in a rush while he was trying to get Dream out with force, and eventually, the guardian was caught by one of Nightmare's tentacles, as the cyan eye began analizing him, Dream tried to angrily break out of the tentacle's grasp, constantly trying to bite and punch It, It was quickly getting tiring.
Night watched the toddler scream and struggle silently, his face with an serious expression, Dream quickly looked at him angrily and tiredly as he spoke out:
-"Night...I will..ugh...I will break free, let...let me go"
Night listened silently and looked to the side like he was thinking, and with a wide grin, Night answered Dream's request:
-"...no"
Dream gave a tired sigh at the response as the silence between them remained, well, until a particular oreo came in the room in a rush:
-"Night are you ok? I heard screaming-"
Cross paused and stared at the scene, Night holding a toddler that looked like Dream on his tentacles and the toddler looking defeated and tired, It also looked so dirty too, Cross looked at Night silently and confused, Night sighed as he started:
-"Cross, believe It or not, this is Dream...yeah, i know its confusing, and i dont exactly know what happened to him, but trust me, its him"
The toddler tiredly looked up at the ex-royal guard, and shot him a tired but "ready-to-attack" glare, he knew he couldnt actually do much, but he could at least try.
Cross quickly spoke up:
-"...ok? Soooo you have no Idea what happened to him and he is just a toddler now", Night nodded calmly as the toddler looked seriously to the side, at this point, Dream just wanted to sleep, or at least take a nap, and the tentacle had a really tight grip so struggling was quite Impossible.
Night glared at Dream and gently approached him with a wide grin on his face, as Dream looked at him motherfuckerly:
-"awwww, the little kid right here wants to take a nap?" Said Night mockingly.
"No, i dont, let me go Night" spat Dream rudely.
"Not happening little pal, you're staying here until i decide what to do with you" grinned Night maliciously
Dream stayed silent at Night's response, but still kept glaring angrily at Night.
-"anyways, perhaps we should introduce our new pal here to the rest of the team since It might take a while for us to decide what to do, shall we?"
-"yeah, sure"
As Night walked towards the door, Dream looked at Cross with such a serious look that surprised Cross a little, he didnt expect the toddler to suddenly look at him while he follows Night, Cross glared at Dream back, but this only seemed to make Dream look offended, they both kept "fighting" with shooting each other daring and sometimes offensive looks.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-"stop hitting me!"
Cross was having a hard time with bathing Dream, it seems that the little guy wouldnt give up so soon, It would be a miracle If he even behaved a little, but everytime Cross tried, Dream kept hitting him as hard as he can, and he also seemed very panicked whenever Cross succesfully held him, and then resorted to squirming and throwing water at him, honestly, Cross just wishes this would end soon.
-"I will not stop fighting!, leave me alone at once foul wench!"
Cross looked at him silently as Dream looked back with equal seriousness, they both stayed in silence until Cross handed him the soap and the sponge, as Cross tiredly got up to leave, Dream whispered at him silently:
-"......thank you"
Cross looked back at him with a questioning look, as Dream seemed to ignore the glare, he silently looked away as he left the bathroom, but not before whispering back:
-"......yeah...no problem"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Cross was eating his dinner happily, well, until Night requested him to call Dream for dinner, since he didnt come down from his room for a while, Cross lazily walked towards the room Dream was given, and then knocked on the door a few times:
-"Dream? You there buddy? Come eat dinner, hope you like soup"
The bedroom stayed silent, Cross knocked a few more times:
-"ok buddy listen, im not joking, Night is telling me to come and get you to get down for dinner"
A faint shuffling was heard from inside the bedroom, Cross waited a while before deciding to turn around the doorknob and opening the door.
All he saw was a little toddler cuddling to the blanket It was given, It looked rather happy and comfy there, but It quickly opened his eyes to stare at Cross, and in turn, shift to sit on the comfy bed he was on:
-"ah, you have returned, welcome back" greeted Dream tiredly.
Cross stared at him confused, why would he even greet him after all of the chaos that happened today, perhaps he was so tired that he gave up on the thought of attacking him? Well, If thats the case, then at least he wont have to deal with a angry Dream.
Cross approached Dream slowly and quite cautiously, as Dream looked at him boredly, the blanket he was holding was quite fluffy though.
-"um, ok so, Night told me to get you to come down for dinner, now answer me, do you like soup?"
-"...hmmmm yeah sure, soup is nice"
-"uh right"
The silence was quite awkward, Dream seemed like he calmed down, but there was still a bit of cautiousness in him, seems like they werent getting his trust so soon.
-"...so, will you come down?"
Dream looks down, thinking carefully and silently before a grumbling sound coming from his stomach (???) broke the silence, Dream got spooked by the sudden sound and made a scared squeak because of It.
As Dream took some time to calm down from the sudden spook, he slowly stared at Cross:
-"...fine, I'll come down"
-"good, follow me, or dont, its your choice"
As Cross made his way to the door, Dream quickly got down from the bed and let go of the blanket he was holding at the entire conversation, following after Cross silently.

Hello ^^~
May I request Todoroki, Bakugo, Midoriya and Denki's reaction to the readers confession? In which they also have a crush on the reader? 💜
hi! yes ofc,, sorry it took so long for me to get back to you! been busy >,<
since it’s so long it’ll be under the cut :^
include todoroki, bakugou, midoriya, denki, kirishima :P 
might do a pt 3, lmk what characters yall wanna see ^-^
part 2 has been done
words: 1696
not edited btw i wrote this at 4am lmk if something doesnt make sense and i’ll fix it ahhhhhhhhhh
todoroki would be like 0-0 the entire time.
“hey todoroki, wanna go out on a date with me? we could go to the movies or wherever, it’s your choice,” you smiled up at him while he walked beside you, carrying both of your bags of schoolwork and books while he stared off at the road in front of you both.
he had always made an effort to do small, caring things for you. he’d hold the door, carry your books, or walk you home after school among many other things. you didn’t think much of it, you’d both been friends for a while, so you figured he was just being kind. no, no that wasn’t it.. he was just bad at showing he wanted to be more than just kind. more than just your friend from a while ago.
he was taken aback by your question, and internally cursed at himself for not asking you weeks ago. 
“um, todoroki?” you softly shook his arm when he seemed to have zoned out on the ground, but your bright smile didn’t fade. he adored that from you, he loved how eager you were to spend time with him. to talk with him. to try and learn about him. to do anything at all with him. you were so sweet and understanding, always. 
“oh, yeah sure,” he nodded at you, glancing down at you from sheer nervousness that you’d be laughing at him. that it’d be a prank. 
when you picked up on how on the edge he seemed to be, you leaned into him a bit, a goofy attempt at ensuring you wanted to go and it wasn’t a forced thing.
“you know, i’ve liked you for a while,” you grinned at him, winking when you saw his eyes quickly flash between content and joy. 
“me too,”
bakugou would be like ??!??!?!?!?!?!!???!?!!? who???? me??!?!?!?!?!!?? how??!?!?!?!?!?! screaming internally but on the outside like duhhhh
“hey, bakugou, i have a crush on you, by the way,” you whispered in his ear from behind the beanbag chair he was seated in. him and denki were in the middle of a wii tennis match, mina, sero, and kirishima all focusing on it to see who won.
“what? fucking dumbass, hold on a sec,” he scoffed when you ran your hair through his hair, ruffling it while he tried batting your hand away with his free one.
he tried to maintain focus on the match, lowkey trying to impress you with him winning. it was difficult, his mind kept drifting off to you and your cute face and your cute- back to the game, he’s gotta win. for you. after what felt like forever, he finally won, then dragged you out of denki’s dorm.
 “ooo sneaky link?” you heard mina giggle, and the three boys that remained in the dorm roared with laughter.
it got louder when bakugou screamed over his shoulder as he took you by the hand away from the dorm, “fuck off, extra, hell no,”
once you were both out of earshot he smirked, “so, you think i’m hot?” he rolled his eyes when you giggled and nodded, and a blush covered both of your faces, “well, you’re okay, i guess,”
“so when’s the date?” you smiled at him, chuckling when he pulled out his phone to check his fucking calendar app. such an old man.
after a few seconds, he pulled up a date on his phone and turned it to you. only a week from then.. ”february 14,” he winked at you and walked away, not even turning back, “see you at the dorm, dumbass,”
midoriya would be like  ≧◉◡◉≦
“all might’s spot as the top hero will not be easily passed by endeavor, or anyone else. he’s great for many reasons, would you like to hear them?” he only paused for a second, turning his head to see your amused nod before immediately continuing, “well first of all his quirk is-”
“midoriya, i wanna date you, if you want,” you interrupted and slowly put a hand on his arm, softly smiling at him.
“huh?” the small sentence shook him from his ranting, and he turned his entire body to look at you. your cheeks heated from the disoriented stare he gave you. he was that shaken up by something you’d said? “really?” 
“yes, of course. you’re very handsome and very passionate and ve-”
“yeah of course i’ll date you, thank you, y/n,” he kissed your forehead before turning back to the school hallway, ignoring the excited giggles of his classmates, “okay, so all might’s quirk is obvi....” his mind started wandering to how excited he was at the thought of dating you. it was a dream come true. “oh, sorry, so his quirk is obviously very good for hero w-”
“midoriya, can we go to your dorm after school?” you interrupted him again, smiling sweetly at him. sometimes it was difficult for him to not talk about heroes and all about them all, but you understood and tried helping out with other things.
“oh, of course, sweetie.. hah, can i call you sweetie? or would you prefer just y/n?” he began going on and on about the different things he wanted to call you if you were comfortable, not stopping until you grabbed his wrist and dragged him to both of yours next bell. 
ugh, calculus.
denki is like oh.? hehehehehehehehe 
you were sprawled out on your best friend’s bed, laying starfish on your back as you huffed about how frustrated and annoying today was. although you held back the most important part. it was especially frustrating how much you adored him. the good ole denki kaminari. you had these feelings for quite a while, trying your best not to confess. i mean, he was a class flirt, he wouldn’t like you back, right?
nah. he hadn’t flirted with anyone other than you in months. and you were the only one that didn’t pick up on it. 
“c’mon, y/n, i know you aren’t telling the full story. say what’s on your mind,” denki lightly ran his fingers up and down your right leg. it tickled but not enough to be uncomfortable. 
“i can’t,” you groaned, giggling when he rolled his eyes and persisted, saying no matter what he wouldn’t tell anyone.
“if you tell me, i’ll give you five bucks, y/n,” he chuckled when you sighed and finally nodded. when you sat up, he turned so you could tell he was listening to what you had to say.
“fine, but only for the money,” you giggled, “i uh.. i’ve been interested in you for a really long time now.. but i understand if you don-” 
wait what
he kissed you, moving his hand up to cup your cheek. your eyes slowly closed, leaning into his touch.
holy shit he kissed you???
when you were let go, your cheeks felt burning hot.
“denk-”
he kissed you again, and you melted into it. it felt like fireworks, euphoria filling your body.
“so does this mean you like me back?” you nervously played with your hands, trying your best to disregard the harsh red blush that was thrown on your face.
“well, duh, took ya long enough,” he chuckled, brushing some of your hair out of your face.
you cried out when you heard the click of his phone camera, and went to hide yourself.
“awe you look so beautiful, y/n. can’t wait to brag about you, baby,” he winked at you, typing something into his phone.
later that day you checked snapchat and saw on his private story the photo of you plus a caption, it read, 
“they finally realized, big dummy. y/n if you see this, you’re lucky you’re a good kisser ;)”
you shook your head and ran to his dorm, pounding on the door. you were gonna beat him up.
kirishima is a big ole softie duhhh everyone knows this. he best boy, no arguing!!
you sighed as kirishima held you to his chest, the lovely feeling of your growing feelings for him hummed in your chest. you had tried hard to push it back, how would that work out? would he reciprocate? was this only platonic?
“are you alright, y/n?” he whispered into your neck when he heard the sigh, trying to hide the deep red hue on his cheeks from you.
you both had agreed not to catch feelings for each other, fine at first with just cuddles and sweet compliments. no specific ties to the affections, just a way for the both of you to feel loved. an ideal thing to have, except that both of you were slowly breaking the agreement. 
you both ached for each other, but neither of you wanted to be the first to admit it. it was simply too risky.
“y-yeah, sorry, just thinking,”
“awe, no need to be sorry, pumpkin, what’s that pretty brain of yours thinking of?” he ran his fingers through your hair, appreciating the shivers of content that had you moving a small bit in his hold.
when you didn’t respond, he cocked an eyebrow, wondering if you hadn’t heard him or if you just chose to be quiet.
“pebble, what’re you thinking about?” he asked again, gently running his hand up and down your arm.
too deep in your thoughts to actually comprehend you were saying this out loud and not in your head, you whispered, “i wanna date you, i don’t want this to be just platonic. i need to be with you, kiri,”
“oh? you need to?” he smirked, chuckling when your eyes widened as you realized you had actually said that out loud, “well, if it’s a need.. i can make it happen, of course,”
“w-wait what?”
“you said you need to be with me, you weren’t lying, were you?” you slowly shook your head no, avoiding his gaze that bore into your skin, “let’s do that then, how’s that sound, pumpkin?”
“good,” you smiled into his chest, trying to move your hand to your arm to pinch you. were you dreaming?
you weren’t, this was real.
the man you’d liked for a while liked you back, oh hell yeah.

wow thanks! that was a really in depth post about it you make good points! when I played I definitely got the sense that monika had encouraged sayori to kill herself and I didn’t get the sense of any remorse when natsuki or yuri died or got fucked up but I guess u do make some good points there about how she was just trying to make them less desirable rather than kill them. I’m new to the game and the fandom so im not super familiar with everything yet but is there anything in the canon or lore that points away from monika having pushed sayori to commit suicide or is it mostly just fan theories and personal readings? either way thank u so much for answering!
yes i can absolutely find you some info on that!
there's quite a bit of information hidden within the games files, so I'm kind of assuming if you're new to the game, that you might not have seen these things? so ill dive into them too!
I'm gona do this under the cut so i can like, dissect things from the game !
(also i found stuff thats specifically pointing away from her meaning actual harm/death for Both yuri and sayori, jsyk)
iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.txt (discovered in game files during act 2)
Tumblr media
“All I want is for you to hate them. Why is that so hard.”
not, all i want for them is to die. she doesnt want to kill them. she wants to separate us from them so we are with Her, not them. things spiral out of control, but it was never her intention for things to get this bad. ntm its repeated over and over in this game how badly monika wants to die. she's hanging on by a thread, keeping on only because she wants to be with us, to be in contact with reality. this leads to really unfortunate circumstances but i really strongly believe everything in the text alludes to the fact she did Not want things to get this bad
ACT 3 INTRO:
(im copy pasting a transcript of the monologue here, but this is taken from the very beginning of act 3, which you can see in this video starting at 25:56)
Tumblr media
imo this is all the proof needed to show that she really had no intention of ‘killing’ sayori and yuri. things spiraled out of control far beyond what she was capable of handling. 
her goals with making sayori more depressed and yuri more obsessive were, in here words “to just try to make them as unlikable as possible”. she didnt want her friends to brutally die!! she loved them q_q i feel like a lot of people really dont look at this specific part of what she says and take it to heart. its very telling for her character and important for understanding what she does and why she does it
ACT 3 MONOLOGUES:
sayori's hanging (cw: graphic descriptions of suicide)
Tumblr media
dialogue of importance:
"I was thinking about Sayori earlier... I still wish I could have handled that whole thing a little more tactfully."
+
"Come to think of it, it was probably less 'changing her mind' and more just her survival instincts kicking in." "So you can't really fault her for that." "It's easier to think that she probably wouldn't have changed her mind anyway, right?" "It's not healthy to think about the things you could have done differently." "So just remember that even though you could have saved her, it's technically not your fault she killed herself." "I may have exacerbated it a little bit, but Sayori was already mentally ill." "Still, though..." "I wonder how things would be if you and I just started dating from the get-go?" "I guess we'd all still be in the clubroom, writing poems and having fun together." "But what's the point when none of it is even real?" "I mean, it's the same ending either way, right?"
ok so whats important here, is monika is essentially using us, the player, as a mirror in act 3? the things she says i believe, very strongly show her sense of uncertainty in her actions, and her fears of what if she could have done something else??
"even though you could have saved her, its technically not your fault she killed herself" reads SO much to me like shes trying to comfort herself with this, she doesnt want it to be her fault. nothings real, sayori's a character in a game. but she wishes so badly they could have just been normal girls living together.
happy end poem
Tumblr media
OK SO LIKE. this is actual proof of Why she does everything she does. she's scared if she reaches out and tells us she's trapped in a game, we'll stop playing, we'll kill her. she tinkers with the game, trying to make herself look the best, trying to make us choose her, and nothing works. and this leads to her becoming frustrated and scared, and screwing with the game more and more desperately trying to do anything to save herself.
if you recall, in act 2, she gives you a poem which bluescreen the computer. this was actually an attempt she makes to escape the game q_q she never wanted to kill yuri, she never wanted things to escalate like that. she wanted to get out but she had no idea how to program her way out of the game, resulting in everything crumbling around her, and her friends dying.
my own route
Tumblr media
hang on this one genuinely makes me so upset.
it very much relates back to how in the conversation about sayori's suicide, she's still clearly thinking about how things could be Different. shes thinking about how they could be normal. "I may not have needed to take such drastic measures to be with you. Maybe the rest of the club would still be around..." , and then immediately trying to convince herself it doesnt matter, and that she doesnt care.
its so so obvious shes hurting and she misses her friends. the additional "i really dont (miss them)" at the end really shows that shes desperately trying to convince herself that it was worth it, that she did everything she should have, and her friends dont matter. but they clearly do matter to her. she loved them (she couldnt even delete them if u recall)
also another important part about this monologue, a lot of people say she killed the other girls out of jealousy, but this shows thats not true??
"I think I would end up forcing you onto my route anyway." "It has less to do with me not having a route, and more to do with me knowing that nothing is real."
this wasnt because shes 'in love' with us. she wanted to be close to something real, something tangible. she's clinging onto us, the player character, like someone lost at sea with a piece of driftwood, doing everything she can to stay afloat
wine
Tumblr media
ok this isnt on the surface level as important as the other ones, but literally look at how she talks about this memory.. she misses them so much and talking about this memory she clearly cherishes brings her so much joy. she doesnt belittle any of them, she doesnt talk down on them, she’s just reliving this memory because it makes her happy 
I HOPE THIS HELPS?? im sure theres a few more things im forgetting, but i did my best to scrabble up everything i could to show how monika’s not an evil mastermind, shes a scared girl who didnt realize what she was doing and when things got too bad, she did her best to fix it, only for it to get worse n worse
edit: oh heres the proof that monika always loved the girls and never actually deleted them
Tumblr media
:’)
edit 2: haha.. um ouch
Tumblr media
“It’s not right for me to miss things that weren’t even real in the first place.” shes forcing herself to try and ignore her feelings for the other girls

So- this is related to this post-
Have fun with this idk-
- Michael and Jeremy had started dating a couple months before Michael got squipped (aka a couple months after the whole original events of the musical)
- Michael doesnt quite know how he got squipped, nor can he remember when it is eventually shut off.
- As said earlier Michael’s squip is Jeremy, because. Angst.
- Buttttt- The squip started out as someone else first, maybe like someone he didn’t know personally, such as an actor or something
- Michael is a pretty confident person, so honestly the squip didn’t affect him that much.
- Also to help, he had (real) jeremy helping him out with “blocking it out”
- Also to mention they were trying to get some mountain dew red, but the dude at spencer’s gifts didn’t have it currently
- Then. The squip decided it would be more sucsesful if it was someone closer to michael.
- So michael wakes up one morning to see Jeremy, where the squip is usually standing when he wakes up.
- Hes of course like- What the fuck??
- Basically the squip says something along the lines of “I thought this form would be optimal for you to actually listen and obey me.”
- Michael locks himself in his room for days, because jeremy, no the squip, keeps saying terrible things about michael.
- He can’t face the real jeremy, and he also needs to focus on separating what the squip is saying to him from reality
- He also turned off his phone, completely cutting him off from everyone
- Michael hadn’t been to school in a week either, therefore didn’t see jeremy at all and he was extremely worried, cause i mean it’s not often the person you see just about every day just goes missing from school and hasn’t been answering your texts
So it went from just ideas, to a full on fic. I’m tired as shit so sorry if this is terrible
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael’s moms were forcing him to go to school today. They knew he felt like shit, but he wouldn’t tell them why, therefore still had to send him to school. He was dreading having to see Jeremy, for probably the first time in his life. He still could figure out the difference between real and squip jeremy, but as much as he didn’t want to admit it, it still hurt him. It hurt like hell. “You’re terrible michael. I don’t know why i ever loved you. I was right to abandon you-“
Michael ended up making it through the day without seeing Jeremy. Then, as he was walking home he suddenly bumped into someone. Fuck. Jeremy. “Michael! Are you ok? You’ve been missing for like a whole entire week-“ Jeremy continued with his worried rambling. Jeremy, the fake, spoke up again. “You’re imagining things Michael. Why would i ever love you?”
“S-SHUT UP!”
Real Jeremy suddenly stopped and gave him a surprised look, with a tinge of sadness.
“No! No! Not you! I’m sorry, i’m talking to jeremy! I mean my squip- Fuck- Um- I gotta go-“ Michael suddenly ran off, to his house.
Jeremy ran after him, he didn’t know what was going on, but he knew Michael wasn’t ok, and knew it had to do something with that goddamn squip. He was gonna murder a winter green tic tac.
Jeremy eventually made it Michael’s house right behind him. “SORRY FOR RUNNING IN THE HOUSE BUT THIS IS IMPORTANT-“ He yelled to Michael’s moms.
He followed Michael up to his room, and managed to catch him right before he slammed the door in Jeremy’s face. “Michael? What’s going on?”
Michael turned around, with tears streaming down his face. “J-Jeremy- I- I’m sorry.”
Jeremy softly shushed him, and led him into his boyfriend’s room, and shut the door.
“Michael-“
Michael pretty much tackled Jeremy, and started to apologize again. “Shhh... It’s ok Michael..” He repeated that phrase while rubbing his back until he calmed down.
They say in silence for a while. Surprisingly, Michael was the one to break it. “Jeremy.. I’m so sorry, and please don’t tell me to not apologize because I do need to apologize. The squip.. it uh. Turned into you. And was saying stuff, a lot of stuff. I knew it wasn’t you, but i still believed it was, and that you actually thought those things. And-“ I don’t love you Michael. This is fake. Why would i ever love you. “-uh- Uh- uh- Jeremy, this is real right?”
“Of course this is real mikey..” Jeremy said softly.
“Ok um, I didn’t want to see you because i was afraid it was all true, and that even if it wasn’t, that you would start believing it and- I should’ve told you, but it scared me so much, and- And-“
“Shhh.. Michael it’s alright.. I promise it’s ok. I promise we can get this all sorted out and get that- That fucking evil bitch computer.”
Michael giggled, and it made Jeremy smile.
They would be getting mountain dew red the next day, and eventually, in the future talked about the squip. What it said to Michael. How it affected him. But for now they just sat in silence, comforting each other.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don’t feel like editing this lmao i’m too tired

obsetress: a loyalty strange and enduring, despite it all
em: to be fair perdi is the Worst
em: all of these characters i love to make sympathetic and then perdi is where i draw the line akdhdkhd
em: it’s funnier if she’s awful
em: like a viola that never gets therapy
obsetress: lldjfkaskldfj god same
obsetress: it's too good

My own fae - Fuegoleon Vermillion
Tumblr media
(Author note: Reader is a fairy with wings, you can imagine however you wanna look. Warning not edited)
It was a cold winter night; Fuegoleon was just about to head to bed when there was a loud thud from outside his window. He was a little grumpy because of how late it was and he would be enraged if he finds to see some of his men just pulling a friendly prank.
Opening his window the strong gust of wind flowed through his hair as he looked around to find nothing. Assuming it was a branch or so till he saw a shimmering light from below.
It had wings and fair skin, back faced towards him the creature seemed distressed and weak as it only had a cloth wrapped around its body.
Heading down below the creature had features that were fairy and elf like to him.
"Miss are you alright?" Fuegoleon ask offering a hand but she looked at him in the eye and tried to fly away only to fall back down as she hissed in pain.
Gazing over to her back it seemed like a part of her wings were fractured. "Cold." She finally says looking back at him desperately.
Fuegoleon a bit mesmerized by the fairies beauty realized she only had a cloth that hid very little. Clearing his throat he took his cape off and wrapped it around her.
Before he could she somehow hid her wings as it disappeared.
Waiting on the floor she looked up at him. "I need help." She then says staring at her feet.
Fuegoleon being a gentleman as he is effortlessly picks her up bridal style. "May I get your name?"
"(Your Name) my name is (Your Name)." She says and stares into his eyes.
Fuegoleon was royalty and considered high in social status so looks from men and women usually didn't bother him, but the way she looked at him made him self conscious. He didn't know why but she was definitely different.
Luckily it was late at night and everyone had a curfew so no one was out, he would have to place her at his private quarters.
Dropping her softly on his bed he placed a robe for her to use.
"We'll talk in the morning. Good night." He says and leaves to his main office to sleep on the couch. (Your Name) doesnt say a word and watches his back leave.
It was early morning as Fuegoleon awoke he peaked into his room to find the fairy still sound asleep. Her hair was splattered and on her back was deep scars he had missed to see last night.
Awaking her eyes she turned to see him peering above her. He had never seen such eye colors before, they were dream like and ethereal.
"I-" he begins to explain but she giggles a bit and leaps out of bed in front of him. (Your Name) examined his face and features. He had royal blood running through his vain. Reaching up to his face she cupped his cheeks and closed her eyes before opening them and meeting his eyes.
"You were asleep for a long time." She finally says and then reaches to his arm that was cut off. "But you've grown stronger."
Fuegoleon lost for words stuttered "H-how did you know."
"I just know things." She simply answers as there was a long silence between the two. Not one moving an inch.
"Um well follow me." He says and brings her to a closet filled with Mereoleona old clothing she didn't wear anymore. "Just pick whatever you like."
After situating her clothes she followed him out and into the clover kingdom. She didn't say one word and followed silently and obediently. Fuegoleon didn't think she was a threat.
They met with the Wizard king. "Julius she is the lady I told you about." Fuegoleon says as the man... well boy at the moment eyes brighten up.
She hesitantly stepped up and showed the Wizard king her scars and wounded wing.
"Interesting, I've never met a fae in real life. What brings you to Clover kingdom?"
(Your Name) didn't know she just knew she was banished from her home.
"I- Well I was banished from home, I don't know how to get back. We aren't suppose to show ourselves to anyone but unfortunately I had to pay the consequences for that."
Fuegoleon studied her features, it was no wonder she was dreamy like.
"I see well! I don't see any harm coming from you. But we do need to place you somewhere safe do you have magic?" Julius asks curiously.
(Your Name) nods and lightly touches Julius forehead. He slowly turned back to a 40 year old man until she moved away he became tiny again.
"Interesting! It seems like you can see through most things. Luckily for you we are a kingdom based on magic so I think you will fit in just well." He assured as she smiled at him.
"I wish to stay by his side." She then says looking back at Fuegoleon.
"That is if he wishes so too?" Julius says looking back at the Crimson Lion captain.
"Of course. However our guest feels most at home. Then you will join my squad."
On the way out (Your Name) was shown to Owen to help mend the scars. The wings would have to heal over time.
"So you really don't know how to get back home?" Fuegoleon curiously asks the fairy as she looked around the kingdom.
"Not one clue but I don't mind. It is a beautiful place where I come from but, rules were super strict there. It doesn't seem to bad here. And if nothing works out I can always find my way home in nature." She assured him as they head to the market.
He doesn't say anything else as they shopped around the market so she could find her essentials. Observing her Fuegoleon could see she was a free spirit and nothing was holding her back as she helped a lot of the commoners.
He saw that she noticed a little girls flowers were dying. (Your Name) wriggled her fingers as yellow sparks came out and the flowers grew 10x healthier.
By sunset he would have to tell his squad that another member joined.
Dinner time came and the hall was rowdy as usual, he silenced the hall and made a few announcements.
"As many of you guys know now we have a new edition for the Crimson Lions. I would like you to welcome (Your Name)."
Curiously she hid behind him and poked her head out. "It seems as she is shy in larger groups that draw attention."
"I won't disappoint, please treat me kindly." She then says and gives a small smile.
"ANIUE! Something about her seems so dreamy. How did we get so lucky!" Leopold yells excited for the new member.
"I wonder the same." Fuegoleon says as the hall went back to a loud musical room.
"What troubles you?" (Your Name) asks as they entered his private quarters. Although it seemed scandalous Fuegoleon was drawn to her since the first time he set eyes on her.
"Just work, you are welcome to stay until the guest bedroom is prepared."
She walked from behind him and grabbed his two shoulders and laid him down on her lap. "It's about the demons right?"
Fuegoleon didn't even question how she knew but he nodded. Running her hands through his hair and braiding them she hummed. "Don't worry. Even the fairies fear them but that doesn't mean there isn't hope and courage." She soothes him as he closes his eyes and embrace the moment.
"You have trouble sleeping because you're afraid you won't wake up again when you were in a coma. It was dark and scary for you." (Your Name) says as he sighs.
"It scares me how much you know about me. It seems like you're the only who understands." Fuegoleon says as he looks up to her hues.
"Don't trust all fairies you come across not all of them are like me." She warns slightly.
"What if I don't wanna met any other fairy when I have one already?" He questions and she laughs kissing his forehead.
He was a grown men but physically touch hadn't been in his library to do list in a long time. Fuegoleon liked how gentle she was with him. "Are all fairies like this?"
"Hmm maybe, maybe not. I put a spell to make you sleepy. Get some rest." She whispers as he drifted off only remembering her looking down at him.
It had been a few months since (Your Name) was welcomed to the Clover Kingdom and she learned the culture simply fast as she fit in hiding her nature identity.
Fuegoleon and everyone that were magic knights were having a celebration. There would be a feast and party along with music and games it was a celebration for all their hard work and a break to have some fun.
He really wanted to invite (Your Name) as a date but was to shy to ask. Usually he was very straightforward but something about her made him smitten.
"What's wrong Aniue?" Leopold ask as they trained one morning. "Something on your mind?"
"It's nothing concentrate on your target don't get distracted!"
"FUEGOLEON!" (Your Name) yelled running towards them carrying a basket of fruits and flowers. Her dress flowing as her hair wrapped tight in a flower crown.
"Aniue watch out!" Leopold shoots as Fuegoleon fell onto the floor. "Ha! I knew it! You were distracted and I got you!" The younger Vermillion cheered.
(Your Name) helped Fuegoleon up as she then patted Leopold head. "Good job little one."
"Thanks! Well I'll leave y'all two to be!" He says running off giving Fuegoleon a wink.
The older Vermillion grumbled and looked towards (Your Name). "Your day off?"
"Yeah I went out and picked some stuff up!" She showed him the different varieties of fruits and flowers, placing a white one in his hair.
"You have a question for me?"
"Huh no I don't!" He denied and looks away as she giggles. "Yes you do. Just ask me. What is it?"
He sighed in defeat. There was no hiding from her. "Well we are having a Magic knights celebration and I wanted to bring you as my date..."
"I'll go! I was going to go anyways."
"But you'll go as my date?"
"Yes I will!" She assured and walks past him to set the fruits down in the dining hall. He grinned like a teenage boy and followed right after.
That night there were many people out and (Your Name) had a bright smile on her face. She was fascinated with the food and music that were surrounding her.
Fuegoleon smiled down at her as she pointed to many different things.
"Fuegoleon." Nozel says from behind as they turned around. "I see this is the commoner you've had in your squad.. you've been hiding her. No one know what she looks like."
(Your Name) looks at Nozel up and down and says "Aren't you his rival? Interesting."
"Why does she speak to me like we are the same level?" He sneers looking down at her and she tilts her head.
"I'm the fae he's been keeping a secret. I'm pretty sure we know who's more of a higher status." She then says and excuse herself.
Fuegoleon sighs and gives Nozel a look. "Seriously?"
"Hmph shes a know it all I see."
"You don't know how literate she can be sometimes." Fuegoleon says and smiles at her back as she plays with Leopold and his friends.
"So she isn't a commoner but rather a fae. Quite interesting how you came across one. I've never seen one in real life."
"Me too, she told me they aren't allowed to show themselves but she stuck here now. (Your Name) doesn't know how to get back home."
There was silence between the two as the two royal men watched her curiosity along side making new connection with other Magic Knights.
"So no one knows?"
"Only a few people know. She knows things on her own. She knew about my coma, the elves and demons. She even transformed Julius back for a few minutes."
Nozel eyes widen and then narrowed. "You sure she isn't a spy?"
"I highly doubt it."
Although she was Fuegoleon date she couldn't help but venture off and get to know more people.
"You are Nozel younger sister." She says to Noelle as the young teen watches Asta and Leopold afar dance to the music.
"I-I'm royalty yes!" She blushes at the older women. Noelle felt a sense safe in her presence, almost like a motherly figure.
"You like him." (Your Name) looks at Asta and smirks.
"I do not!"
Grabbing Noelle hands they dance together with Leopold and Asta. Noelle shy at first blushes and looks down but gains confidence because (Your Name) guided her.
"Ahh Noelle!" Asta yells as he and Leopold connects arms with her. "Yuno! Mimosa come join us!"
(Your Name) backed away and watched from afar, they seem happy.
A arm snakes around her waist as she looks up to find Fuegoleon watching the kids. She smiles at him and grabs his hand. "Let's dance too. We are known to like music and dancing."
He hesitantly follows. "I'm not sure about dancing."
"Just follow my steps." She encourages as he nods and follows her pace.
There was a comfortable silence between the two as they moved back and forth the ballroom. Looking around (Your Name) saw a lot of people were staring at them. She shyly hid her face in his chest.
"Why are people staring at us?"
He chuckles and takes the initiative moves now, twisting her around to wrap his arm around her.
"It's because they are jealous. I haven't been seen out with a lady in a long time."
Turning herself back around she touched his chest. "You are nervous, your heartbeat is fast."
He takes her hands with his and kisses it lightly. "You can see everyone else's feelings but always deny mine."
(Your Name) blushes and grip his hand tighter.
"I do know your feelings. I make you feel like a teenage boy chasing after a girl."
"Well if you put it that way..."
"You aren't allowed to be with someone not royal. Isn't that by law."
Fuegoleon smile fades as he caress her scar back and pushes some of her hair out of her face to see the little tiny pointy ears before hiding them again.
"You already know I don't care about status. I don't care what other people think about us either."
"Fuegoleon has been smitten over me since the first day we might." She teases as he grins a bit.
Pushing herself up she brings him down for a kiss that shook the entire kingdom.
"Does that answer your question?" She asks as he sheepishly nods and gives her another kiss.
"Oh I might go blind." Nozel says in disgust as he slightly smiles for his rival.
"Tch that means it's time for you to find yourself a girl." Mereoleona says crossing her arms and watching the two new lovers embrace in the crowd.
"As if, no one here is worthy!"
"Worthy of the braid." Yami cuts in as Nozel sends him death glares.
Meanwhile on the side Charlotte is staring at Yami hoping it would be them one day.
"Let's go aniue! I knew it was from the start!" Leopold cheers running between them and hugging (Your Name).
The night came to an end perfectly for them as the two new lovers left impatiently to discovering new beginnings.

What is happening in 5x03??
I’m not going to pretend I have any idea whats going on here but I have a THEORY! (Can you tell I want to be a theoretical astrophysicist?)
I might be going straight up CRAZY but here we are......
[possible spoilers for 5x03 (I seriously doubt im right but I really do hope this is whats happening here)]
My theory is the whole thing is a dream sequence. Not just the MacRiley moment but the WHOLE EPISODE and its all in Mac’s head....Stick with me here.
Firstly here are the promos incase you missed them.
1. MacRiley scene
2. Mac, Desi, Bozer and Riley at Mac's place
3. Team Phoenix on the mission.
My first reaction on seeing the MacRiley snippet...THIS IS A DREAM..right?! If you look closely the way its been edited with the rainbow-glare shining in and out makes it seem magical and almost surreal.
Tumblr media
So the question is WHO THE HELL IS DREAMING? Again my first thought was Riley, because we know she has feelings for Mac but that little factoid about the moon and eclipses lasting for 7 minutes doesn't strike me as something Riley would know.(I am a space nerd and even I didn't know the size of the moon is 400 times smaller than the sun) Which makes me think its Mac’s dream. We’ll get back to this in a sec.
The second promo absolutely crushed my soul. Mac here is complaining about how Desi has time for Rlley but doesnt have time to go out on a date with him. UM WAT THE HECK?! WHERE DID THIS COME FROM?? Mac and Desi showed no ounce of interest in each other in episode 1 and 2 and now suddenly he wants to date her?
Also note here Bozer is encouraging Mac to ask Desi out *sort of*. He knows about RIley’s feelings. He would never in a million years talk Mac back into that relationship because he is his bestfriend and he saw the toll the whole Codex situation took on him.
[We didn't get a single Riley look either.. that would be possible only because Mac has no idea she has feelings]
Now the third promo is just the team going on the mission. Nothing too complex here (or is there????)
Okay so why do I think this WHOLE EPISODE IS A DREAM?
Tumblr media
Well firstly, the very title of the episode has the word Eclipse in it. Why would they do that if it was only going to be a one minute scene? Eclipse has to have some sort of deeper relevance here. Sure you could just argue that they gave us a tiny snippet of the whole scene and again you could be right. Maybe they didn't want to give away too much?
But we know Mac and Riley are not undercover or on a mission. They seem to be having a catch up picnic thing that suddenly leads to a kiss (that totally got cut out before we could see it *cruel cruel world*) Like I said before the whole vibe of that scene seems dreamy. Also note Mac is doing most of the sharing here. Which does make me think its him dreaming, like an inner monologue but Riley’s there too.
Secondly, Mac complaining about Desi not spending enough time with him doesnt sound like him at alll. It would be something he has thought or just a weird dream thing.(Dreams can get weird and out of control too!)
Every single person in the Mac and Desi promo is behaving weirdly.
Tumblr media
Thirdly, add Roman to all of this. There’s no way the dude survived. Its more likely he’s a part of Mac’s nightmare. A symbol of everything Codex took from him, coming back to wreck things.
Fourthly add the press release photos of Desi, Bozer and Russ to all this and things seem to be getting even more confusing. The photos would fit into a dream sequence though. Things cutting in and moving around without making sense.
So what’s the significance of the whole thing? Well what I think is happening here is Mac is conflicted and grieving all at the same time. The first part is him asking Desi out and you can see the awkwardness on both their faces which also reminds me of the first time he asked her out. Its almost as if he’s replaying the scene in his head.

Bozer here might be a part of Mac’s consciousness‍ that wants him to fix things with Desi. I really do think theres a part of Mac that did love her at some point.
The significance of Russ being kidnapped might have something to do with their newly formed friendship. The two of them really seem like they are on the same page and Mac obviously cares about him.
The promo scenes with Russ have this weird blurry effect around them. It could just be to show Russ is confused so maybe I really am overthinking this.
We know Mac and Desi are forced to talk about their relationship. This might be Mac having a conversation with Desi in his own head. Maybe even him coming to realise that he and Desi are never going to work, that clinging to Desi and that sense of familiarity is bad for both of them. 
Tumblr media
The second half of the dream or even the part before Mac just wakes up might be the part where he realises that he can have true peace with Riley, aka the picnic scene. (This could be in the beginning but if it really signifies what I think it might him waking up before the kiss would seem fitting)
[They have used the dreamworld before to show Mac coming to terms with not being able to save everyone and the loss of his mother...idk if they will do it again or not but they have done it once before]
An eclipse is supposed to represent growth and major change. Change of day into night. Him having feelings for Riley that have always been there but suddenly showing up might be the metaphor behind this whole episode.
As all us MacRIley fans have suspected before, Mac had feelings for Riley but he didn't deal with it. Kissing Riley in his dream sequence or almost doing it might be the trigger he needs.

[SIDE NOTE: Some one tweeted that Lucas Till said this episode was going to blow our minds..I cant find the interview so I cant confirm this happened. He said what the writers are doing with this season blew his mind so take it with a grain of salt....]
THIS IS A VERY OPTIMISTIC THEORY AND I REALLY AM SORRY IF THINGS DONT WORK OUT THIS WAY BUT I REALLY HOPE I’M RIGHT!!

The Freedom of Expression - Ep 35 - If a giraffe wore a bow tie...?
K: Hi this is Dir en grey's Kaoru, with this week's episode of 'The Freedom of Expression'. Joe san, Tasai san, welcome. Joe san, whats going on with that mask?
J: This? It's good. It gets me in a supportive mood. If I wear this, if everyone wears these, who knows? Hanshin might move up? Miraculously from second place?
K: So if I wore one...
J: Yeah!
K: But because Im not wearning one..?
J: Its because you're not wearing one! Thats it!
T: Yeah.
Kami: No, no, its impossible.
J: Is it?
Kami: Yes, it is!
K: Yeah, I think its probably impossible.
Kami: Lets just get on with the show.
J: Ah, I see. Ok.
K: Ok, Joe...
K: Yes, today's news is this. If a giraffe wore a bow tie, would it wear it at the top or the bottom of the neck? There are many problems in the world that need discussing, but this may be a very important discussion to us. It was reported by the U.S. edition of the Huffington Post. The question was posted on Twitter on the 14th of September, 'If a giraffe wore a bow tie, would it wear it at the top or the bottom?', and lots of people have answered it. Well, we can't show you the images, but just to explain it simply, can I show my drawing?
K: Oh, already?
J: *showing his drawing* Well, Im not sure if it looks like a giraffe...
K: No, it does look like a giraffe.
J: Does it?
K: Yes.
J: Is it ok? Well, according to the Huff post article, a giraffe would wear a bow tie either here (*points to top of the neck*), or here (*points to bottom of neck*)
K: Either nearer to the face, or nearer to the body?
J: Yep. People have a lot of thoughts on the correct way a giraffe should wear a bow tie, and many people have been writing many reasons for their answers. For example, people who think it should be at the bottom say that if the giraffe tied the bow tie himself, his front legs would only reach up that far up. And as for the opinion of small kids, they say that humans wear bow ties at the top of their neck, so giraffes should too. Many different age groups have many different reasons for where the bow tie should go. Humans don't have a lot of choice because our necks are short, but its like, what do you think as for a giraffe with a long neck?
K: Hmm.
J: So we might as well each have a go at drawing a bow tie on a giraffe, and we'll give our reasons for where we put it.
T: Shall we have a go? Its pretty difficult.
K: Um, we only put a bow tie on it, right?
J: Yeh, only a bow tie.
K: Not with a shirt, or a suit or anything?
J: No
K: You put a bow tie with a shirt though usually, don't you?
J: Yeh, you do.
K: You don't often tie it straight onto your neck, do you?
J: You don't, right.
T: Yeah.
K: So, if you had a shirt...well, maybe im saying too much.
J: Yeah...
T: Lets just draw first.
J: Yeah, lets do the drawing first. You can use your ideas in your drawing...Hm, where to put it...
T: Its quite difficult.
J: Haha, Tasai's giraffe is kinda impressive anyway.
K: Its a Tokyo Sports-style giraffe, right?
J: Haha, yeah.
K: Its quite mysterious.
J: Haha, it is. ???*1 Even this shows our differences. I think mine's ok compared to Tasai's, haha....But where should it go...?
T: Its difficult, isn't it?
J: Kami isn't here so he can't draw one, but Kami, draw one in your mind. We'll ask you too.
Kami: Ok.
K: Is Kami artistic, I wonder?
J: Can you draw, Kami?
Kami: No, I can't draw at all. Its shocking.
J, K, T: Ahh.
J: Ok, shall we start with Tasai?
K: Shoudn't I go first?
J: I thought we could end with you?
K: Really? Im not gonna win to him, haha *points to Tasai*
J: If its winning or losing based on first impressions, ???*2
K: Ok, I chose bottom.
J: Oh, the bottom?
T: You're in the 'bottom of the neck' club? Why? What are your feelings?
K: If its too near the face, the balance will be off.
T: Ah, I see.
J: It looks stylish. Does it make the neck look long?
K: No, well, its long anyway, haha.
J: Ah, it doesn't make it look long, it just is long.
K: Well, I mean, it could also wear it half way up.
J: Ah, I see.
K: I just thought its probably best not to have it too near the face.
J: Ah, I see. Well, as for me, the bow tie looks terrible, but..
T: Is that a bow tie? It looks more like a stick! It looks like its wearing a dumbell on its neck!
J: It does look like a dumbell, but my idea was to put it at the top.
K: Is that a collar? haha
J: It ended up looking kinda like a collar. I have the image of it being closer to the top. If its at the bottom, its close to the body, but I feel like a tie should be on the throat. Where is the throat on a giraffe??
T: Yeh..
K: Hmm, yeh. Im not sure.
J: I don't know either, but I put the bow tie at the top.
T: I see.
J: Ok, Tasai..
T: Well...(*holds up his drawing*) I put a very big bow tie on the neck.
J, K: Haha.
T: At the top of the neck.
J: Ah, at the top?
K: Where is that animal from? haha
Kami: Its pretty good.
J: Look at the eyes!
K: Haha
Kami: You're good at drawing.
T: Can you see it Kami?
Kami: Yep, I can, I can.
K: The artistry...
J: Should we make this into a tshirt?
T: Hahaha.
K: This would be pretty good on a tshirt.
J: It would, right?! You know that alien thing by the artist Daniel Johnston? Its like that.
T: Really, wow! That kind of highly acclaimed work?
J: It could go on a tote bag!
T, J: Hahaha
Kami: Isn't the neck on this giraffe a bit short though?
T: Well, its because the bow tie is so big, the neck looks short.
K: No, its the face that makes the neck look short.
Kami: The face is too big..
T: There's a reason for the bow tie. If you put a big one here, it really stands out. It just screams, 'Lets have a party on the savannah!'
J: Ah, I see. Its for a party?
T: Yeh, this big one is for parties, and when he's trying to seduce a woman, he has this more subdued one at the bottom..
K: This depends a lot on the circumstances!
T: And a woman will see this small bow tie, and think, 'Ah, he's so stylish'.
J, K: Hahaha
T: So this small one is to attract the ladies.
J: I see.
T: The big one has more personality.
J: Like, 'Its me!'
T: Yeah, like 'Im here! Number 1 in the savannah!'
J: And the little one is for the women?
T: Yeah, at night he'll take off the big one, and just wear the small one...and while they're having drinks, she'll think, 'Oh, how stylish'.
J: I think Tasai's picture has a big impact, right?
K: Yeah, its good.
J: I feel like this is the first time I've seen a drawing of yours, Tasai. Even after doing this show for so long...
T: Yeah..it shows my personality.
J: Ahh, its great.
K: So, it seems like wearing it at the top is common.
J: At the moment, yeh. What about Kami?
Kami: I think bottom.
J: Ohh, bottom? Same as Kaoru.
Kami: It seems like it would get in the way if it was at the top.
T: Ahh, yeh. In a practical sense.
Kami: It wouldn't be nice getting his neck caught on something. If it was a regular tie, it would strangle him, wouldn't it?
T: Yeh, thats right.
J: Well, yeh.
Kami: So I think bottom is better.
T: Well, a bow tie is pointless to start with, so I thought, like ultra flashy.
Kami: Its because a giraffe's neck is long, as to why people are worrying about this, right?
J: Yeah.
Kami: So if it were an elephant, for example..It would be, 'Where would you put a nose piercing?'
T: Where would it go? Wouldn't it just be at the hole?
K: Well, it would have to be if it was a ring type. It would get really clogged up if it was further up *3
J: Haha, agh it would! So, how about this? Could people write comments on youtube?
T: Oh, like 'My idea is.....'. But isn't this better? (*Points to his own paper*) Its loud.
K: It looks kinda childish to me. At the bottom looks more mature.
J, T: Ah, yeh.
Kami: It would get dirty when he eats.
T: Haha
Kami: If he spilled his food....at the top.
J: Well, yeh.
K: Well it would get dirty at both ends in that case, haha.
T: You're right, it does look childish at the top.
J: Well, it is a hot topic on twitter.
T: I wonder if any conclusion has been made about this? Im interested.
J: Yeah. Well, I read a while ago about this 'missing link'. So, a giraffe's neck is long, right? And they havn't discovered any animal that had just a medium length neck, have they?
K, T: Ahh
J: So according to the theory of evolution, the neck should have become longer over time, bit by bit. But a missing link animal with just a medium length neck hasn't been discovered. So one explanation is the neck became long all of a sudden.
T: Ehh?
J: Normally, it should get longer bit by bit, right? By trying to reach food higher up. If the food lower down is all gone, and there is a lot of competition, the neck should have grown longer to reach food higher up. But that would mean reaching higher places little by little. So there should be some animal with a partially grown neck according to evolution, but it doesnt seem like there is. So some people are saying it might have changed all of a sudden.
Kami: There are things like that for elephants and stuff, aren't there? With partially grown trunks. 
J: Well, there probably isn't, right? I don't think there are any elephant fossils like that.
K: But there was so many different types of animals alive in the past, right?
J: Yeah
K: Unrecognizable ones, looking like they came out of manga.
J: Yeh yeh yeh. So, from those we have left the ones that were able to adapt to their environment. And its said that giraffes developed their long neck trying to eat food from the top of trees, due to competition with other animals.
T: It looks that way, but after what you just said, im not sure now.
J: Its interesting. Like, we don't know if it was a sudden change caused by a virus. Like now we have coronavirus. Did a new creature emerge from that kind of situation?
T: Joe, you know a lot.
J: No no no.
Kami: I have the feeling it was made by a god.
K: But not this one, right?
Kami: No, I can't make anything. Nothing at all, at best I can talk. My talk isn't worth anything recently either. 
J: But god is said to be the creator, right?
Kami: Yeh, thats a more serious god.
J: Don't you have anything?
Kami: No, nothing.
T: I feel kinda sorry for Kami.
K: Yeah, me too. Born with the title 'Kami/god', and he can't do anything..
Kami: I have no abilities at all.
K: Ok, well, lets end here this week. Please subscribe. Thank you very much.
Kami: Please dooo.
J, T: Hahaha
*1, 2 Couldn't catch.
*3 Not entirely sure here.

dr stone sexuality headcanons
(minor character spoilers for past season 2!!)
ok so these are based off of actual canon, like details we know about them and how they react in certain situations w members of the opposite gender- believe me as much as id like nikki to be a lesbian or senku to be straight and in love with me thats clearly not the case here
gen- gay, but honestly its hard to know since dcst doesnt rly include any amounts of romance, the most we got were yuzutai and the 2 second connie and shamil arc in the byakuya sidestory, but tbh gen has never shown interest in girls even when it should have been clear/others did at some parts. its tru he could just not rly believe in true love but idk he seems fairly flirty to me amaryllis- bi, shed flirt with anyone she needed to to get what she wanted and no its not just bc i have a huge crush on her luna- bi, yes i kin her sadly so maybe im self projecting a little bit but just bc she likes senku doesnt mean she cant like other girls too ryusui- bi, this is canon no explanation needed /srs kirisame- lesbian !!  I WANT HER TO BE A LESBIAN SO BAD UGH AND IT MAKES SENSE iirc she never rly blushes or shows interest in guys and there was that one fruity image of her w homura.if im wrong ill edit her out but god mmmjfg tsukasa- questioning, in my mind kasa always balances on the line between asexual and bi; we never really see him react when liking someone is involved or anything but then again he seems more focused on um.  rather than romance matsutake- asexual, i just get the feeling; plus the whole thing w ginrou is more of a deep admiration/connection to his old master, thats pretty explicitly obvious stanley, xeno- asexual  “these guys only love science”-my friend, and they’re sadly right

i live in a universe where if i were to walk down the street i could get murdered willy nilly cos im black but men are out here going around being like “my boyfriend and i met when he was a junior in high school” i don’t believe in jail and i try not to make jail jokes but HOW IS THAT FAIR? JAIL!!! GUILLOTINE!!!! GET THIS MAN A RETIREMENT FUND AND A THERAPIST
that dialogue was fucking embarrassing. he shoulda just said “im 12 yrs older than him” no one needs to know u were 30 dating a 17 year old u insecure freak. retire bitch and get away from her
 i wanted muren so badly to be like “LMAO SRY didnt mean to seem surprised i just like men my own age i guess?” i wouldnt have even apologized if i was surprised. my friend was dating someone ten yrs younger than him and i made fun of him for it and he was like “i know” bc he does know.
just a tip: i don’t like getting hit on by men way older than me, a lot of people don’t. i’ve had men who are 36 interested in me when i was 23, and i reciprocated, but now as i am 29 and older i realize how much it confused me and how i didn’t like it.
age gaps are what they are. ther’es many times i do not like it especially if it is a pattern (this is what happens in tv shows and movies and the opposite of that isn’t gay age gaps or power imbalances or women much older than a younger man ok that’s not progress it’s just peopl ewanting to be like cis men and no one wants that) and esp if the person’s peers are all their ages. people seem to forget that we travel in the same social circles on purpose due to our environments and also our world experiences. the only way to meet an older man is outside of school and yet adults can’t seem to control themselves?
i saw this person who was one of the editors of sexual hegemony (a book on capitalism and homophobic laws and sex basically idk google it it’s interesting) and he was trying to have a foucultian outlook (i hate focault btw doesn’t mean what he says wasnt interesting but it does mean i am not okay with psychosexual philosophers who take advantage of people. the only testament against him having reltaions with younger people is a bunch of young people i nfucking tunisia and there’s an excuse that he wasn’t a fucking pedophile he was those ebebebbeopopopo people and it doesnt matter when ur in fucking tunisia as a white french algerian fucking preying on children) how age of consent laws desexualize younger people. they were passed for  abunch of reasons like any law but here is the thing
we have no business in being in spaces to determine children’s sexual identity and teenagers in their own realm. THEY need to figure it out. our job as adults is to PROTECT THEM full stop. not intrude on their lfe and not give them the tools to decide for themselves. age of consent laws are meant to protect not to facilitate children against some boogeyman of sex. the issue is the way our society views it but young people are sexual AS YOUNG PEOPLE. it has NOTHING to do with adults and it shouldn’t. that’s why it is extra fucking intrusive when you are literally wedged into someone’s life who you have no business being around. it’s only by fucking circumstance. it’s abysmal and not cute. 
what this tells me is that the age gap is salacious. not in the way that i was 23 and a man was 36. in the way that he was 17 and this dude was 29. that’s interesting right? it’s “oooh” and it means we shouldn’t balk at it. saying 12 years would have sufficed, raises some eyebrows, and we can figure out the dynamics after but you just had to put that in BECAUSE YOU FUCKING LIKE IT but the thing is there’s no part of it that was fun. i’m just going to assume you like fucking teenagers bc that’s what it’s telling me lmao
i rarely talk about this couple but to put them in my eyeballs and then have that stupid conversation it was insulting lmao god please get a fucking script supervisor fuck but none of them care about sotry or any of what i fucking laid out. how stupid and careless and just unfun. i don’t like it. also ew at the idea of 2 tops and 2 bottoms talking oh my god i am gonna give myself a heart attack i’m already so fucking anxious i have to see my family lemme chill
im 29 and feel bad having a crush on a 23 year old CELEBRITY ok and i SHOULD feel ashamed and it’s not even a big deal that’s how everyone should approach life tbqh u walk around like ur 100 yrs old to avoid children. oh what’s that this korean cebrity learned english and moved to america to start a family with me and i find him very hot and i like his voice but we’re 6 years apart i’m not sure if i would work (how fun of a drama would that be. pointless and ridiculous. i love it.)
oh there’s a great review on CMBYN and its history and how the isolation and seeclusion was so fuckign capitalist bougie patriarchy and yea idk if anyone is interested. i think it’s ironic the ending for the people in CMBYN irl bc it’s just. so indicative of this shit. i dont like guadignino (idk is that how u spell his name) and think he’s not a great....person or director (i love the look of suspiria tho likke visually and edited. the DP was thai btw! he did an amazing job!!!) but it critiques this film from a perspective of someone who clearly at least cares about artistry, no matter how poorly i think he executes it, and just how hollow it is. the thing about “escapism” is that it relies on the harsh realities of the world to make it opposite, everything has context, nothing is apolitical. to make something that exists in a vacuum is negligent and it doesn’t help you escape it makes you even more tied to this world and its flaws because it doesn’t do anything to mitigate it.
people view it as like “we can put something stupid on screen and people have to accept it in this world” but that isn’t how IT WORKS. you hvae to build up the stakes of the world. but i can’t see introducing some “taboo” (see: stupid) elements and pretending the escapism is seeing this and allowing it. how could it be when the problem is the nature of the rship itself? what world are you taking us to? and why does this world ignore the pressing realities? and i wouldnt say either of these are explicit escapism (i think i hate that word now) becuase um they arent. this fantastical generally rich people escapism isn’t about bending things that don’t work to mold it into our society because WE DO THAT ALREADY it’s about taking those things and twisting them to something we can accept and like or something that has real consequences for people. it’s so funny how marketing and the idea of pc culture and shit and conservative ideology seeps into these. they have  an explicit interest in holding the status quou of taking advantage of people and using their power; age is a huge structure to do so. in this society when we struggle why would its existence not be challenged? because rape, ridiculous rships, abusive rships, torture etc is a power move, conservatives rest on it and people who gain power. what about that is appealing? making it gay? well, no. especially because men DO have power. 
every fucking thing in BL is a reflection of of patriarchy honestly. i can admit that and i’m not okay with it but it’s consumption. there’s a way to make this decent or entertaining without it being so fucking poorly done. and atp i dont even want to call things bl it’s a tv show just bc it’s for a certain audience doesnt mean anything do better idiots
