Alec hardy x fem reader (smut if u r comfortable) let’s say where reader always annoys alec (she has a massive crush on him cause duh) and Alec is always annoyed by her and maybe she gets sick or something like goes out for a work trip idk and he realizes how much he miss her annoying voice lol soo yaa rest to your imagination
💜
One day
OMG YES I love that idea! This idea actually fits with my OC so I can easily write about this!
Since this is my first fic in a while I’m just going to keep it a Drabble. I might make more in the future.
Alec Hardy x Fem!Reader
Warnings: none
Type: Drabble
Summary: Y/N annoys Alec daily but when she doesn’t show up and Alec wonders why he feels the way he does about it.
Y/n………she was always such an annoying lass. always talking about things that didn’t matter like concerts, songs, shows, anything that didn’t involve work. This annoyed Alec. He would be sitting at his desk trying to work on the case they were working on and she would be sitting on his desk which he hated and talk and talk. She never seemed to shut up.
Then one day she did. Well she didn’t show up to work……weird.
She always shows up for work. She would show up late a lot but still shows. But for once Alec had peace. And he didn’t like it.
He was sitting at his desk looking at evidence and papers about the case….As he read the paper all he could hear was that damned clock ticking. The silence was killing him. He stopped what he was working on and ran his fingers through his hair. He can’t work without her. Her chatter seemed to help him focus but he never saw that at first. “Y/n” He mumbled out into his hands.
After some time he removed his hands from his face and stood up and grabbed his coat angrily and walked out of his office.
Ellie saw him start to leave and she started to question him. “Where are you going? Did you find them? What’s wrong” She continued to question.
“Y/N-“ He snapped at Ellie. He sighed “ She didn’t show up. I’m going to check on her you stay and work on the case.” She agreed and he was on his way.
Meanwhile Y/n was in bed, curled up, every blanket in her apartment on her, shivering from the cold shivers of her fever that had sadly strucken her. She laid there coughing and hacking. And the fact that she was dehydrated wasn’t helping much, all she wanted to do was curl up and die in that bed, she was so dry and tired. She didn’t even want to get up for a glass of water which she needed badly.
The fever was so bad she didn’t even notice someone was banging on her door and it wasn’t just knocking. It was full on “FBI open up” banging. At some point Alec freaked out and bust open the door not enough to break it but enough to get it open. he searched all around her apartment until he finally found y/n laying in her bed in such a daze she didn’t even notice him walk in. He touched her face and felt how hot you were. (not talkin looks here but you look good girly)
He can tell how bad she were from his experience, being a father, and knowing what it’s like to be sick. He took some of her pillows and propped her up. he fetched her a glass of water and made her drink it when she took the drink of water it awoken her. She finally realized somehow Alec got into her apartment. “Wha? Huh? How did you even-“
“Don’t ask love. You were almost dead!”
“What? No- I’m just a little thirsty-“
“Lass you were dehydrated we need to get some food in your stomach.” He stated
“Why?” She asked
“Why? Well if you don’t you’ll go hungry and I-“
“No. Why are you doing this?” She said
Alec looked at y/n puzzled
“Why are you doing this? I thought you hated me or just didn’t care enough”
“Well………I thought I didn’t like your chatter. Then when I noticed you not come in I worried something happened to you”
“You worry about people?” she smiled childishly at him
“I do have a heart you know”
“One that you need to give a break”
“What?”
“Nothing”
Silence fell on the room as Alec went to go get y/n some food. After a bit he came back with a tray for the bed and some soup.
“Ok now careful it’s hot so let it cool down and then eat”
“Ok dad”
“Don’t call me dad”
“Ok……but thank you”
“For what?”
“Helping me”
“Well you needed it”
He grabbed a chair and sat by her bed
“What are you doing?”
“Sitting”
Well I know that but…. Why are you saying?”
“You need the help clearly.”
“I’m a grown adult I can handle myself”
“Yeah says the one that was laying here dehydrated”
“…”
“Exactly”
“Why did you come to help me? Aren’t I annoying to you?”
“A little but….it got to quiet”
“I thought you hated my rambling?”
“I did”
“Did?”
“Maybe….I liked it a little”
“Really?”
“I said a little”
The room got silent and Y/n thoughts got the best of her.
“Fuck it I’m going to be an adult and tell you since we’re alone and usually Ellie is here too-“
“You’re rambling”
“Yeah…..I like you” she flinched scared what he was going to say
“Hm”
“So?” She said
“Maybe I do too”
“REALLY?! OH MY GOD I could kiss you!”
“I said maybe and you’re sick so no way”
“Oh….yeah”
“But maybe one day…..”
“Yeah…..one day”
I hope you liked this ! Sorry if it’s not that good I haven’t written in awhile! 💜💜💜

Hello, hi!! I am bored... so, let's write some headcanons hehe
Also thx for the support 🥺 I love you guys
STAN MARSH
This man hates tiktok and refuses to install it (it's canon ,,, I know) he would instead use some knock off version like YouTube shorts or Instagram reels 🤠
He would send Kyle tiktoks that were funny like 7 months ago which he JUST got to see on ig reels.
He probably has likes 4 posts on Instagram. Most of them are just pictures of his dog, his girlfriend and random ass pinterest pictures he liked
This man would have a pinterest board of goth music he liked back in his emo era
Also, when he was emo... he made a whole new instagram where posed as an e-boy
Just wanted you guys to let you know that.

his user is one that he made when he was 13 and he never changed it
It's stanfnaff
He deffo had a fnaf phase
KYLE BROFLOVSKI
We've all seen Cupid Ye by now...
He would totally have a tiktok account where he posts famous dances (renegade for example)
He expected them to go viral since his dance moves were pretty "smooth"
They never did
He uses Twitter just to comment on his friend's posts
Also to annoy Cartman by hacking his account
He doesn't actually hack him. His password is just CartmanBrahhh
This man never uses instagram
He never posted neither
His pfp is a selfie of him with ike
Since Ike isn't allowed to use Instagram, he uses his brother's account to watch updates of his favourite youtubers
Which explains why Kyle follows pewdipie lmao
His user is just his name with random numbers
Fucking kyleb8392
KENNY MCCORMICK
Let's be honest
He wouldn't even use social media
He has a phone but it's like all cracked and dirty and
It looks like a skinned iphone
He just found it on the street and surprisingly it worked
He has only instagram, youtube and pou installed
On Instagram his name is KensbigD and the only photo he ever posted is a very low quality picture of him
On youtube he watches sometimes commentary youtubers
His deepest darkest secret? Oh yeah, Kenny watches play doh egg videos
Overall he never uses his phone since he doesn't have wifi at all
He also has 18 pictures on his phone and it's memes that he finds funny and some others that already came with the phone which he never deleted.
ERIC CARTMAN
Cartman has every social media istg
He uses discord and Twitter to troll random people by making them think he's dreamsexual or some shit
His username on Instagram is Cartm.an9
He never posts anything
If he does it's probably just a really cringy photo with some filter he took of butters
On youtube he has a gaming channel ofc but has literally left it abandoned
I feel like he'd watch those videos of people eating really spicy stuff then saying NO REACTION
He tried to do it once
He went to the hospital for 4 days
CRAIG TUCKER
Craig would watch those 1 hour analysis video about a random movie
Or those summaries of weird kdramas
He watches cute guinea pig videos but never admits to it
His history is filled with minecraft videos that tweek watches every once in a while
On tiktok he would probably post those sarcastic memes like "Oh yeah galaxy is really big then theres you, a waste of space"
He used to have a secret account where he posted those cute partner videos with tweek
They went viral
Everyone saw them
Never again
His user on ig is probably just his name
Craig_Tucker
He posts pictures of things he finds cool
TWEEK TWEAK
Tweek watches those asmr videos on youtube
Also minecraft building and lego tutorials
Hes probably addicted to tiktok
His fyp is filled with those clickbait videos of "A METEOR IS HITTING THE EARTH SOON WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!!"
Craig tried helping him by creating new accounts and blocking certain words
They keep coming back somehow
He never posts anything on instagram
He has both of his cameras covered with black tape
He's scared of them watching him
On tiktok he posted only once and it's a video of him in class drawing on the table
His user is just TTWEKE29
I'm tired and I don't want to keep writing... but Wendy would totally watch daily vlog diaries of fit girls

HEARTSLABYUL HEADCANONS:
The series: DIASOMNIA / HEARTSLABYUL / OCTAVINELLE / POMEFIORE / SAVANACLAW
- will not confess no matter what and you can't tell me otherwise. He'll be bottling up all his emotions like there's no tomorrow
-> truly believes there is no chance you'll like him back. I mean, he was a bitch to you! He totally was rude and - how can you love someone like that?
-> Trey is slowly but surely getting tired of hearing the same thing over and over again from Riddle - goes to you, pleading to either confess or tell his house warden that you do not hold any special emotions towards him
- Riddle becomes much softer after you start dating
-> the whole of Heartslabyul noticed. Adeuce will be pleading with you to never leave their housewarden because suddenly living with him is doable
- Ace and Deuce will also react terribly to the news of you two dating (Ace worse), because what about that little shit made you like him? Are you okay? Were you bribed? Do you need help? Blink twice-
"You actually like him? For real? No cap?" Yes🤨? "But he's an annoying tyrant," jokes on you I'm a brat tamer 😋☝️ and into that shit.
-> will consider finally trying that therapy thing you keep talking about
- dates with Riddle are the best, you feel like royalty with how he treats you. Sometimes, though, he let's his tongue slip and says something he doesn't mean, but you can tell by his expression he doesn't mean it fr so you're fine (you then talk about it and he apologizes and you get lots of hugs)
- it is kept secret for the longest time, because he's worried people will see you as weakness of his (you totally are), so he tries. It fails. Bro has the biggest grin on his face the second he spots you. I'm talking visible hearts and sparkles
- no PDA. Won't even hold your hand. Please let me hold your hand 😔 will collar you if you pull something like holding hands or kiss his cheek, ONE OF THE SEVEN FORBID YOU KISS HIM ON THE LIPS IN PUBLIC -> immediate collar after each one - you're still into that shit (if you're not, are you really a Riddle simp? 🤨)
- doesn't know anything about relationships so his reactions are always fresh and amazing to look at
- can't communicate well and will try to not show his emotions (he fails horribly around you), so it's slow steps - both of you getting used to one another
- you tease him a lot, because he can turn redder than his hair and he hates it sometimes (he will refuse to admit), yet he knows you still remain respectful and once it's gone too far you immediately stop
- will try baking for you, but he takes everything literally (I'm pretty sure he is autistic, it's the fellow awtysm radar in me), so he often messes up. You eat it, because you love him (and it's not worse than Lilia's cooking, so)
- will spend holidays with you, he doesn't want to go home :( and he feels way better with you, so it's a win-win
-> only then learns about your living situation in Ramshackle 🥲🙏 will yell (respectfully) at Crowley because of it
- helps you so much with your workload by sharing his own hacks he's come up with over the years (he's the cutest little thing pls)
- fights everyone for you, except Floyd - you're both running from that one (will not leave you alone on that one, though, what a sweetheart)
- he's got a British accent 😐☝️
-> has the silly goofy speak: "riddle me this" "geezer" "bloody hell" "innit?" "lads"
-> you clown him for it sometimes, just sometimes. He hates it. But he also loves you so it's alright
- you carry candy around for him, everytime he gets angry around you, you toss him candy or something
- invites you horse riding (if you don't like horses IDC. I'm a horse person and I love it. The horse bedsheets stay on during sex 😡 jk. Or am I?)
- you will show him so much. So many new things and he's suddenly in this whole new world he's never been in before. He's willing to try anything, for both curiosity and your smile. Very interested in your world, please tell him everything
- will spend time with you in private tea parties where you guys just gossip
- platonic: best friends. Besties. Will share so much tea on tea parties, about everyone, even people you guys don't know. It's so fun. It's a whole 😗💅 friendship. (Though Riddle doesn't know much gossip, it's fine, he will remember what you tell him)
- I don't know much about this guy but I will try
- definitely bakes you sweets that are to your taste, if you don't like sweets he will cook. He's been preparing for this moment his whole life let him do his thing
- is afraid of blood. IDC. You get a cut and bro is freaking out, you're going to die while he's passed out because of the bloo- he is now gone 😔
- that said, loves taking care of you as long as it's not a bloody injury. Brings you blankets, cooks you soup, boils you tea, you name it
- teeth brushing together and I also mean the kind where he brushes yours, he says it's not kinky but you are not really sure
- doesn't know how to say no but is a master at leaving situations, like you don't even know how and your request with going idk where has turned into rule 8289402917364829 to not speak to people in glasses on a Thursday and now you have to compensate by eating his tart,,, or something
- 😏 <- why does he actually make that face
- you spend time together by having either little tea parties or just hanging out in his room
- his love language is baking, but I also think it's quality time
-> will ask you to join him in the kitchen while he bakes, to be next to him while he's studying and things like that
-> just loves having you close to him
-> ALSO ALSO: one of those friends/bfs that will force you into calling/messaging once you've arrived home, telling you to dress warm, buys you food, yells at Crowley for you (tells Riddle to yell at him because he was raised to respect others while he knows Riddle will not care - after all, Riddle likes you, too)
- walks you to school
- asks you to put Ace and Deuce into their place because he just might snap anytime soon and despite being afraid of blood, it will be the last thing a few of the Heartslabyul students will see ☺️
- doesn't have bad memory per se, but often forgets trivial things
- it's kinda endearing
- platonic: joins you and Riddle in your tea parties (tea in both senses), knows about everything that's going on in the school, all the gossip (Cater is the one who tells him, but anyway)
- "You don't have a magicam account😨😰?" "Wdym Crowley doesn't allow you to use your phone for social media and entertainment?!" Suddenly you are allowed to set an account 🤨
- EVERYTHING about your relationship is documented. He doesn't post all of the pictures and videos he has, but he posts a few.
-> likes to keep your relationship matters somewhat private rather than just post it all, it's for him only (and for you when he decided to finally send the pics from the date 2 months ago 😒)
- has a weird sense of humor you can't always understand. He seems like he's having fun, though, so it's fine, let him be excited
- he copes with internal conflict by occupying his mind with social media (twinss except I do that with games,,, anyway), telling jokes and being very unserious but he let's this mask fall whenever he's around you
- the actual Cater is so lovely 😔 he may not be as full of energy and as loud but he's still the biggest sweetheart
- you put him at a high place, whilst he puts everyone above him and is used to people just disregarding him, so when you show up and try your hardest to focus on him he just wants to cry for days on end. His opinions matter to you and you always listen to him even when he's talking about the stuff you have no idea about 🥲
-> late night crying sessions together (crying brings people closer), and you just love spending every second together
- he definitely needs assurance, so don't forget to text him a "good morning, love" a "goodnight, love" as well as words of affirmation and reminding him that you love him and him only and that he's amazing. Also please don't ignore his messages 😔 he will think you hate him
- refuses to get drunk in front of other people because he could start spilling his secrets, but he does when he's with you = crying a lot
- dates are two kinds:
1. you go to a very aesthetic location, you have a picture perfect (intended) date, it is later all over your social media
2. just you and him being in love and spending alone time together. His room, your room, in the garden, cooking together, you name it. All he cares about is you (only takes candid photos yet they look so good??? Sir??)
- just two people foolishly in love, that's it, that's the tweet (Tumblr post?)
-I really think he'd be one of the best bfs, hands down
- he writes fanfiction. "But, Noya, there's no way he-" ☝️😐 he does. I was thinking about Sebek writing FFs about Malleus, but Sebek doesn't seem like the type (Sebek for sure daydreams), but Deuce? He does. With Ace. They just share FFs and recommendations (he still doesn't know how to tell Ace he doesn't really write well)
-> tried to keep it a secret until you one day mentioned this cool fanfic you've read the night before with your favorite character
-> "you read fanfiction?😨" Yes, Deuce. "And you mentioned it to me so casually?" You lovable idiot
- thinks you are very cool and respects you greatly
- you have a group chat with him and his mom as well as a private chat with her
- the group chat is just the sweetest thing ever. His mom loves you and you love her, and Deuce is just there to observe and for the two of you to poke fun at (in an endearing way - talking sweetly about Deuce while he reads it all)
-> in the private chat, you're gossiping and having the best time of your life. His mom is so cool and such a girlboss (not to mention a total MILF - if it doesn't work out with Deuce you'll go for his mom 😔)
- that said, Deuce is very submissive and breedable
I will not elaborate
- dates with him are definitely outside, you either go for a walk, for a ride, or something like that
- brings you gifts all the time, they're mostly really stupid, but he's always like: "I saw this and it reminded me of you" or "I saw this and thought you might like it" your room is getting full, but you can't say no to that face.
- kiss his hair, he's sitting down and you do a little smooch, or the back of his neck
-> he gets all red and stuttering and then you hear it about it from his mom
-> "When will I get grandbabies?" Miss I want your child 😌☝️
- ehm
- just the loveliest puppy love, with a lot of hugs and kisses, he also doesn't care about where you two are and PDA is no problem for him (as long as it's like a little, he wouldn't straight out makeout with you,,, maybe)
- soft boy, will worry about everything but you and his mom will reassure him at all times, so we're good 😌
- BOY
- okay I ended Deuce with PDA and I'm going to start with it here
-> PDA all the way, will makeout at the lockers, near friends, he doesn't care. You do? Too bad (just kidding he will actually respect your opinion, but you also have to respect his so like)
- will bring you to his room while Deuce is there just for the laughs
- will try to protect you from trouble, because he has this feeling of needing to protect you
- "This one is for you, babygirl" and then misses his shot at club, you laugh,,, but why does he keep doing that when it has worked like twice so far (Floyd also tells you all his shots are for you and doesn't miss)
- screams when in distress, you scream with him. Yes we're fine, Jack.
- steals tarts and cakes from the dorm kitchen and then sneaks into your room to eat with you, then acts oh so sad when Riddle collars him and he has to go sleep at Ramshackle 😩😩😩 oh woe is me (sneaky bastard)
- you definitely curse at one another, jokingly, you call him a dick, he calls you a bitch. But you're his bitch and he's your dick 🫶
- people are concerned, but you guys are fine
- talks about his exes sometimes and then realizes his mistake and keeps apologizing for days, you tell him it's fine (you've already had the talk, and you know his mouth just runs faster than his brain can keep up - you do say if something he said hurt you and he then tries to make it up and not repeat it ever again)
- dates are never the same, like I can't stress enough how your dates are just in the spur of the moment and you end up eating bananas on Crowley's window (you almost fell to your death so that was the last time you did that)
-> has a weird habit of remembering things like that, like if you cut yourself - never be close to a knife, if you slipped on ice - not going outside when it's freezing, you almost fell from that window - never let you be higher than a chair when he's around. It's sweet, but let me live my life goddamn
- while texting he has started putting /j after everything just to make sure you don't misunderstand
- it's an emotional rollercoaster with him, but you somehow still return, is that okay? Not necessarily, but you love him too much and he loves you, too
- tells you often, that he loves you. Like, any change he gets, he will be saying "I love you" "Love you" it's kinda cute because depsite that, he still gets nervous and all red, at least you know it's genuine
- will beat up anyone for you (with Deuce because they're a buy one get one free, or frequently bought together)
-> you got used to your dates sometimes being with Deuce, but it's fine, you spend all the time together anyway (Epel hates your love, so you tease him on purpose, Jack is just lovable and is happy for you guys - just don't let it distract you from your studies!)
Why did Riddle get so much text? He's my favorite.
Why does Deuce have 2 banners? because he's my bbygirl and I couldn't decide, he looks great everywhere.
When will be the next part? With how life's going rn, soon.
Who will be in the next part? I haven't decided yet, but either Pomefiore or Octavinelle.
Have a great week everyone, hope life is going well, goodnight 🫶🫶🫶

Note
The science kids seem to not like the Akuma class barring Nath, but I wanna know what they don't like about Marinette.
Denise: Oh, sit down, honey! Lemme tell you something about Marinette! She says she loves Adrien, but what does she really love about him? I’ll tell you, he’s the heteronormative dream. White, blonde, rich, upper-middle class, and genes a straight girl would kill for! She has her future children planned out! Two boys and one girls! A designer and model with 2.5 kids, now tell me that is not the “American Dream” or some bullshit.
Zoé: They’re right. It’s unsettling that Marinette has the sexes picked out for her kids. I mean, what if one of them turns out trans? Then what? I think she’ll have a breakdown.
Ismael: Or she’ll give one girl away and try again for a boy. Th-this worries us. And back to Adrien, she doesn’t love him. She loves that he’s “perfect,” and thinks she’s the “perfect girl” for him. So much so that she sabotages any girl who shows a shred of interest in him. Resh and I saw her sabotage the Friendship Day thing with Kagami just so she wouldn’t be able to win and hang out with Adrien.
Reshma: It was… Not pretty. What lengths is she willing to go to? Wh-what if Adrien finds a girl he truly loves?
Marc: What about a guy? What if Adrien realizes he’s gay? Who knows what she’ll do? Not only that, but she keeps dragging the girls into her kinda illegal schemes. Didn’t she get them to put up a fake ‘no parking’ sign?
Jean: I also heard something about her having his entire schedule. I thought that was a rumor started by some psycho fangirls who hate her, but now I think they’re just legitimately concerned.
Reshma: And back to this “perfect girl” thing. I saw her team up with Chloé of all people to sabotage Kagami’s chances with Adrien at the movie premiere.
Cosette: That! That is what we’re talking about! She’ll go to great lengths to ruin Adrien’s own happiness just to make herself happy by dating him. And if we could talk about Luka for a moment. What she did to him was unfair. If she was still in love with Adrien, she shouldn’t have been dating him. When Luka got akumatized into Truth and Alya told him Marinette’s biggest secret was her crush on Adrien, he said he already knows about that…
Lacey: So, her obsession over Adrien didn’t fade! And the explanation for her and Luka breaking up was “oh she’s so secretive!” What secret?! That’s she’s obsessed over Adrien?! Like Marc said, that’s not a secret!
Aurore: Now onto her actions regarding Adrien. As we’ve mentioned, she has his schedule. How did she get it? It’s nowhere online! The only explanation is that she stole his assistant’s tablet and got the information off of that!
Simon: I just tried to hack into her tablet, but it’s got one hell of a firewall. And I doubt Marinette has the hacking knowledge to get into it herself. Therefore, we can only assume that she got ahold of Nathalie’s tablet, or even Adrien’s phone, and got the schedule herself.
Mireille: Oh, and then you have Lila. Her only ambition was to expose Lila as a liar simply because she started showing an interest in Adrien. What about the fact that her friends were being lied to? Then she expected them to believe her every word about Lila being a liar simply because they’re friends. She didn’t provide any evidence, and it only made her look even more jealous of her. I mean, if Lila were to be in our class and I knew she was a liar, I wouldn’t go to my friends as a whole, I’d tell Aurore my concerns, and we’d research the facts together.
Zoé: Yeah, that’s right. Marinette lets her jealousy get the best of her. And yes, while we get jealous from time to time, you don’t see Marc sabotaging another boy for showing an interest Nathaniel, or Denise yelling at some girl for being friends with Simon, or Jean teaming up with his worst enemy to make some guy hanging out with Austin look bad in front of him. Because we’re rational!
Jean: It’s just… That’s like her whole character, being a stalker toward Adrien and not caring who she hurts emotionally just to be close to him. It’s unfair to the people around her, and those helping her with her plans are going to get in trouble.
Reshma: It’s is pretty much the reason why we try to distance ourselves away from her, yet she keeps being persistent.
Marc: Yeah, she won’t stop trying to get Nath and I to make more romance manga which are all basically a guide for her life with Adrien, and it’s deeply disturbing how much detail she has us put into them, right down to the exact texture of Adrien’s hair. We lied and told her we had too many commissions coming in to make more comics for her.
Aurore: Last week, she invited Mireille, Reshma, Lacey, Denise, Cosette, Zoé, and I to a sleepover at her place with the girls from her class, and I had to plan one at the last minute just so we didn’t have to go. I don’t feel like being in the same room as Adrien’s schedule.
Cosette: So, in short, that’s why we don’t like Marinette. She’s obsessive, a stalker, insensitive, and prone to some extreme jealousy. Hell, I could be talking to Adrien right now, and she’ll try to sabotage me in some way. And I’m dating Zoé!
Ismael: Yeah, that’s uh… That’s it… So, what now?
Marc: Guys, Nath just texted! Marinette’s coming to our classroom right now!
Denise: *Throws a desk out of the window* Run! Everybody run, now! *Jumps out of the window*
Lacey: *Packing snacks* We’re just gonna… Not be here! *Jumps out of the window, followed by Jean, Reshma, and Aurore*
Ismael: I’ll be in the catacombs! *Drops a smoke bomb and disappears*
Marc: *Pushing a bookshelf to the side to reveal a hole carved in the wall* You saw nothing!
Simon: *On his tablet* Goodbye, everybody! *A small drone flies into the room, grabs Simon by the back of his shirt, and carries him away*
Mireille: *Pulling apart the floorboards, revealing a panic room*
Zoé: Mireille! Take us with you!
Mireille: Get your own, panic room, bro! *Moves the floorboards back into place*
Cosette: YOU COWARD!
Marinette: Zoé! Cosette! Just the two I was looking for!
Cosette: … *Punches a wall* FUCK!… I’m afraid I must go to the nurse at this very moment. For you see, my hand is horribly injured, and Zoé twisted her ankle.
Zoé: I what? *Cosette kicks her ankle* AAAH! Yes! My ankle is twisted!
Marinette: Oh. Okay, well, maybe later, then-
Cosette: I may need stitches and I gotta go to the hospital for a few weeks! Bye! *Grabs Zoé’s hand and pulls her out of the room*

20 questions for fic writers!
Both @teejaystumbles and @spockandthings tagged me in this, so let's get it done!!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I just recently posted up my 668 work on Ao3.
2. What’s your total AO3 word count?
5,129,415 words!!
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Right now, Sandman!! But I also dabble in other fandoms, including Shadowhunters, Supernatural, and a few others!
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
In general-
1. Never Judge A Shadowhunter By Their Scent - 4,712
2. The New York Shadow Market (Featuring Protective Alec Lightwood) - 3,262
3. Magnus Bane: Certified BAMF - 3,252
4. A Curse, A Choice, A Claim - 3,031
5. A Mutually Beneficial Arrangement - 2,887
In Sandman-
1. Hopes & Dreams - 2,482
2. The Art of Seduction Via Longbow - 1,657
3. The Price - 1,220
4. A Husband, A Consort, A Nightmare - 1,089
5. Dreams Make Living Worthwhile - 1,022
5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?
Indeed I do - sometimes months later (as a whole hell of a lot of people know right now from my comment reply spree, lol), but yes!
I love taking the time to say thank you - even if you left an emoji - it made me smile and I feel like I should thank you for that!
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
With the angstiest ENDING? (I'm a HEA stan, so hold on, this'll take a second.)
Probably Learning to Say Goodbye - which has an open/hopeful ending.
7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
HAPPIEST ending? All of them. Oh man. I don't even know. What do you consider the happiest ending? The Titanic AU - Make It Count (which has the happiest possible ending)?
Hopefully - My Hope of the Endless series?
(And that's just in the Sandman fandom!)
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I have, yup! I tend not to as a whole, but it has definitely happened!
9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?
Oh yes. What kind? Uh. Well. Everything from the schmoopiest first time possible to all-orifices fucking with magical tentacles, sooo? All of it?
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?
I HAVE WRITTEN SO MANY AND WILL WRITE SO MANY MORE.
The craziest crossover I ever wrote is a 5-fandom crossover - set in the Sandman universe. I pulled in characters from the Hades Game, Supernatural, Shadowhunters, and Good Omens in and had all of them face off against Hell!
The War for the Dreaming
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Unfortunately, yes, multiple times. I wish that on no person.
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yup!!
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
A great many, in multiple fandoms!! Shout out to awesome co-authors who keep me sane!!
14. What’s your all time favorite ship?
Omg I can't pick a FAVORITE. I've had so many over the years, I don't know if I ever could truly pick a favorite.
Malec probably comes pretty damn close though, all things considered.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Candy Coated Nightmare.
I want to finish it from the perspective of wanting to finish the story - but when the original creator of the gif story quit the fandom due to their work being stolen and stopped the project - finishing the story without them didn't seem right. So while I want to finish it to finish the story - I never will.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I've learned how to hack my ADHD brain and trigger hyperfocus whenever I want using a writing software. Which means I can write very obscene amounts of words, very quickly.
(Also experience - I've been doing this for 23+ years now.)
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
Editing and research. I hate editing, so none of my fics receive more than a cursory read-through at best. And having to heavily research a fic is what kills my enthusiasm for it faster than anything else, so I avoid it at all costs and make up things as I go along whenever that is an option.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
Love the idea - but i think you gotta use the AO3 feature that allows you to put the translation when you click/hover over it!
19. First fandom you wrote for?
Wheeew, we're going back to 2004, okay. Gundam Wing was my first ever fandom I wrote for.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
How the hell am I supposed to pick?
I love Make It Count because that fic (all 120k) wrote itself. I love Together We Soar because it was the first long fic I wrote myself. (Long for me, anyways.) I love Alexander is Endlessly Surprising because I wrote 2 full sets of the Oldest Game and I thought I did an AWESOME job. I love The War for the Dreaming because it was an insane undertaking and I managed it. I love Magnus Bane: Certified BAMF because it introduced my favorite OC of all time - Oberon Onyx.
So many more I could name, but I'll leave it there, at least for now!
Tagging @moorishflower, @cuubism, @blueberrymffn, @seiya-starsniper and anyone else who wants to participate!!

Heyhey hey I saw u mentioning yandere syntax if its ok (if not u can just ignore this ) can u give us yandere syntax headcanons?
YESSS BAHA I was hoping someone would hmu with this, I hinted at it in another head canon scenario
ANYWAYS
The first time he realizes he has feelings for you, Syntax would become very obsessed. Like, standing in front of his mirror wide-eyed and trying to figure out how to handle this. It's not bad at first, just rehearsing encounters with you and memorizing your work schedule, things like that
When you two are friends, you find it weird how he's almost constantly there.
He'll send you texts asking where you are, what you're doing today. Keeping it polite at first, because he's desperate not to ruin this. He'll show off a lot at first, wanting you to realize how smart he is.
Eyes on you. All the time.
Unless you're with friends. Then he'll either stay behind, glaring at every single one of them (definitely not plotting anything suspicious), or hovering right at your side and trying to steal your attention again. Your friends all know he hates them, and repeatedly tell you this, but you're convinced he's a good guy and he tells you so through text.
He'll make you gifts, lots of them, but what you don't know is that hidden within them are secret spying devices. Recording devices.
Of course, he won't intrude on your privacy, he's still a respectful guy, but when you two are apart Syntax will always have those devices turned on. Just in case.
He's also not above sneaking a tracking device on you.
When your relationship begins to get more serious, his attitude will shift to something more possessive. You don't know how but he suddenly has an exact replica of the keys to your apartment so he can come in whenever he pleases.
Will also slip in subtle hints that your friends are not to be trusted. That they are bad people and you should be rid of them. He knows he can't get rid of them outright unless he wants to attract law enforcement, so he will continuously encourage you to cut ties and hang out with him instead. In the case that Syntax feels you're getting a little too close to one of your friends, though, he could always harass them online and hack their devices/make it seem like you hate them and want them gone.
Speaking of, he has already hacked your phone to track you online, not constantly, but he's alerted whenever you talk to your friends.
He knows exactly what you do. Every fucking moment.
You have no clue, no idea that he'll follow you around in the darkness of night/shadows, learning your mannerisms and figuring out exactly what you like.
Syntax doesn't want to kidnap you, first off. He loves you for the real you; he doesn't want to force the relationship or seem suspicious. But he's patient, dangerously so, and he'll wait for the perfect moment to give you that thing you've been wanting forever, the one you had in your wish list for the past three months. He'll surprise you with your favorite food after you text your friends how much you're craving it.
Thankfully, you never figure it out. It's what he wants.
He's a genius manipulator, wrapping you right around his little finger. And if you're good and show that you love him, he might be okay with letting you hang out with your friends alone (what few you have left, of course).
Physical contact is a definite yes for Syntax. He'll hold your hand while your out and about, cuddle while you sleep, and smother you with kisses and affection throughout the day.
He wants to leave you breathless. Craving him. Wanting no one else with him and satisfied with it.
And if a little blood is necessary, so be it.
He's well aware of the consequences, of course. He'd stage it as an accident. As a spider demon, Syntax can use his enhancements to create a scene where your friend was killed in a car accident, drugging both victims if necessary (when in reality, he'd killed them both).
The scientist is also not above drugging you as well.
If you say you're going out with a friend he's suspicious of and won't listen to his advice to skip it, he'll slip something in your drink to make you pass out.
You'll wake up the next day feeling refreshed and warm, but have no idea what happened.
If you ever voice your suspicions that he's keeping you away from your friends (And after all he's done for you?), he'll blackmail you. Smoothly, of course. With a honeyed voice and reassuring words, Syntax can banish any worry you have. He'll wonder if you really thought him that cruel. He'll smile and kiss you, saying that he forgives you, and if you'd like to do something special today.
However, if you continue accusing him, he'll think up of some kind of punishment.
Severing your internet connection for a few days, forcing you to spend time with him. Persuading you to stay in your room to think about it. Giving you the silent treatment until you apologize.
This man is a genius, a silver-tongued killer.
And you don't realize it until it's too late.
#lmk#lego monkie kid#lmk syntax#syntax x reader#yandere#yandere syntax#this was new#never written something like this!#thanks for the ask!#reader has no idea#folks. there be trouble ahead#syntax would never hurt you terribly#not unless he's fed up with your shit#you're his. all his

splatoon 3: side order ~ ale's 2024 game reviews II
oooooh guess who finished side order (like, actually 100%)! me baby! and yes i've technically been playing splatoon 3 since 2022 and this is for games i finish this year BUT side order is a totally different game mode so it counts :p also it's my review i make the rules
spoilers ahead! although if you've paid any attention online there's no huge spoilers going on.
i finished the tower on my 4th run i think, i'm not that good at this game okay. but i did finish it on the day it released! i got a bit sad because i thought it was too short but then i realized you're supposed to replay this a bunch of times and the story keeps going! so it ended up lasting a couple weeks for me. it could've been faster if it wasn't bc i needed to finish my catalog before the season ended, but hey that's better i think!
i like that the game forces you to do a run with each weapon, cause otherwise i would've done only the shooter and MAYBE the roller. but it was fun! i hate chargers and splatlings, but once you learn how to use the chips and get a bunch of hacks, it becomes easier even with weapons you suck at. also i love overpowering Pearl, it's fun.
the game itself is absolutely gorgeous. i found myself staring at the ink before starting almost every level. i'm a sucker for glittery pastel ink are u kidding me!!!! the design of all the characters outside KILLS me like what the hell they're all SO adorable i want one of those jellies in real life. also cypher's design rules.
the world is so pretty too, i love all the backgrounds in the levels (and that they reused animal crossing fish ugh!!!!), the outside of the building, THE LOBBY????? i can't start a run without running around with the cool lights and music!
i LOVEEEE that we got so much Acht! i was already obsessed with them before the dlc, like their design and persona was such a cool concept for me, and now we get to hang out with them and learn about them before getting sanitized omg i love it so much. also we love an enby in a nintendo game
i also love Pearl and Marina so much, fight me all you want but they're truly the superior idols of splatoon. i love that nintendo let them be so incredibly fucking gay in this game. yeah yeah it's not said out loud but i've never seen two characters more in love than those two bitches. good for them
oh and i fucking love Smollusk wtf. why is it so adorable????????? specially at the end aaaaa him and small fry are my sons
the only things i didn't like about the dlc are that they kinda teased something going on with agent 4 but then there's nothing about them? we have a palette and the clone thing looks like them and then there are a couple mentions here and there but that's it? i would've preferred if they don't mention them at all instead of this. i also would have liked a little cut scene once you finish all the weapons. i was a bit disappointed once i finished eight's palette you're just done with it and well. that's all! smollusk is now friendly and nothing more :/
aaaanyways i really enjoyed myself with this dlc! i'd say i enjoyed it more than return of the mammalians which i still haven't 100%. i've seen people say octo expansion was better but idc cause i never played it! so side order gets 4.5/5⭐️ from me :D love u splatoon

*taps mic*
*screeching synth noise*
hem hem
first of all
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
now that we have That out of the way
SREEDIE YOU’RE SO SPEEDY (that’s an awful rhyme I’m so sorry) ARE YOU READY TO HEAR MY EVERY THOUGH WHILE READING THIS CHAPTER (once again I’m so sorry But not sorry enough to spare you bc I’ve gotta keep being annoying to remind you why we got divorced)
yikes it really must be lowkey terrifying on katara’s end rn… like it’s pretty much the whole They Died And Came Back Wrong trope except sokka only died in theory and yet came back wrong anyway. I feel so bad for her :((
SLAY TOPH keep an eye on iroh please
not katara suspending her disbelief regarding jet being heroic T-T
this is actually a really interesting dynamic change for katara and sokka bc even though katara was always caring for everyone else in the show, sokka was always the one person who was always looking out for katara, so to have him be the sibling that needs taking care of is like… damn yk
okay maybe this means absolutely nothing BUT I feel like jet losing his arm and therefore his ability to wield dual blades has the potential to cause even more tension with zuko bc jet will not only hate him for being fire nation but now they won’t even be evenly matched in a fight and he’s gonna resent the fact that zuko still has both arms. and that’s ASIDE from the fact that it’s gonna be a gruelling healing process before jet even gets the chance to Think about picking up a blade again
jet: is literally on his deathbed
suki: I’m looking respectfully-
“how did sokka handle that” well katara isn’t that the money question, and unfortunately the answer is always Not Very Well
oh katara sokka has also stabbed a man to death with a stick so uh,, yeah while amputating jet’s arm was unideal, alas it is far from the most gory shit sokka has done
perfect girl but sokka wants a boyyyyyyyy~ (these bitches gay)
yes sokka let’s try to keep the house hacking to a minimum shall we
okay definitely nothing has been solved but crying on the bathroom floor is actually very therapeutic not that I’m speaking from personal experience or anything haha HOWEVER I do think sokka needs to cry for longer for the catharsis to work properly. so that’s my note sreedie. MAKE HIM CRY MORE
fuck dude there’s just.. Nothing like sibling relationships. like obviously katara and sokka are (were?) really close siblings but even when siblings are estranged to whatever extent it’s still just so different from any other kind of relationship you have with other people so it’s like… if Anyone would be able to help sokka it would be katara. idk how to express it but not even zuko would be able to help sokka the way katara (though he would Understand it more) bc sokka needs to know that he has people that have enduring love for him and the only person he’ll be able to trust to give him that initially would be katara and I just AHHHHH
YAY MORE CRYING YOU LISTENED TO ME
ugh sokka stop LYING you LIAR
zuko IS an asshole and I love that about him <3
not katara’s bluffing about yue- absolutely appalling effort folks, katara this is the funniest thing you have ever done
sorry I know it was a very intense and somber situation but I just find it hilarious that the solution to zuko being stubborn and refusing to cooperate (however much that is understandable given the circumstances) is just to straight up knock him out. like night night kiddo
ah shit I wish iroh weren’t the one undressing zuko. actually I wish nobody was undressing zuko this is just shit
ZUKO PLEASE YOU’RE DYING WHY ARE YOU STILL AWAKE
speech impediment zuko my beloved <3
ZUKO WHY ARE YOU A MENACE literally first thing out of his mouth that’s not defensive in an attempt to protect himself is to fucking insult jee I can’t T-T
JEE YOU SAVAGE ily
zuko bit jee I forgot omfg this is hilarious (even though it’s actually very sad but shhh we’re ignoring that)
jee the emotional support bestie reporting for duty bc he is the only emotionally stable adult in this household
iroh: is indescribably furious about the fact that zuko has been tortured
also iroh: my this boy has a mighty strange haircut going on
ah fuck here we go. it’s SA discovery time >:/
sreedie did jee break something accidentally bc he was in shock or did he smash something out of rage
rasu fashion icon <3
dragon of the west popping off with the murder plans
when a blind girl and a human disaster are left alone in the kitchen-
oh okay so he Did break a table. slay.
jee in dad mode <3
SOKKA JUST FUCKING TELL PEOPLE PLEASE THIS IS FRUSTRATING AND SAD AT THE SAME TIME WTF
I’m sorry but not jee thinking sokka is a bigger pain in the ass than zuko. alas, he does have a point
OHIHOHOHHEHEHEHE ITS CHANG BITCHES AND HE’S IN HIS GIRLBOSS ERA
nvm chang is in his struggle era actually
lots of layers LIKE AN ONION-
OH SHIT REHO RECOGNISES CHANG
“little wet-noodle” PLEASE I adore chang
for once in her life, slay ara, now the story is finally fucking getting a move on (no shade to you sreedie <33)
lmao bato is so right both about sokka AND about teasing hakoda despite being in the midst of a very tense wartime situation
omg in relation to you an: pls let zuko fuck up all of sokka’s lies accidentally bc this boy cannot lie for shit LET ALONE when he doesn’t realise he even needs to lie and is also high as fuck from iroh drugging him so that he doesn’t bite people
OR sokka is gonna see zuko on his sickbed and immediately his whole world is gonna narrow down to just zuko (understandably) and everyone else in the room is gonna figure out what’s going on pretty quick and effectively sokka just exposes HIMSELF à la love for zuko spewing out of him alongside guilt and regret and fear and relief (essentially the full emotional gambit)
in review: sokka needs to cry more, zuko should bite more people, zukka needs to reunite, I love jee, I love chang, hakoda is gonna need a head massage after all the mental gymnastics he’s gonna be subjected to next chapter. THE END.
love you So much TOODLES *mwah*
LEEEEEEKI BELOVED!!!!
I’m sure you’re like wtf ex lover why aren’t you answering my ask & I’m innocently over here cherishing every word and sniffing it until it loses your smell….
Yes, I’m weirdo. But you keep coming back for me so HA…. ;)
I know some people in the comments were like “I can’t believe Sokka just DID THAT!! no way!!”
& it’s like what’s worse? Stabbing someone in the neck 30 times with a jagged stick you found on the ground while pretend shitting or cutting off your kind of enemy kind of whatever guys arm to save his life??
(There was also the warden situation too… so idk I think Sokka is pretty desensitized at this point and is so emotionally constipated that he doesn’t know HOW to feel about ANYTHING right now ((except Zuko))))
Jee: Zuko is the most difficult person
Jee meets Sokka: I stand corrected
Haha I enjoy your reviews, & I can’t wait to see you soon!!
#leekie leeeeeeek LEE!!!#you’re always so wonderful#& I think your reviews are like how I would read my own work haha#CHANG IS GOING TO MAKE SHIT HAPPEN#don’t worry haha#things are coming together just before they pop off again#but we are one chapter closer to it being over haha!! yippieee!!#not that I’m rushing but it would be nice to be done eventually lol#ALRIGHT LEEKIE I WILL SEE YOU NEXT CHAPTER!!!#i love you leekie#leekie tag#leekieeeeee#liab#itf#ask

A3! Translation: The Hard Fight for Triangle Jokes!? (Tehepero Funny Guy)
This one is interesting because it lets us see a planning process for once! It was neat to read their plan actually being put into action in the event story.
I did this one a while ago (like. a year), so I think I was still learning how to make ていうか sound natural at the time. Like with Tenichi, I hope the end result ended up ok lol
@banriapologist the manzai providing star is once again our lovely provider ☆
The translation is under the cut. If you see anything that doesn’t seem right, please let me know!
-
-
１
Izumi: Misumi, Yuki, you two will be participating in the Grand Prix this time, right?
Yuki: Yeah. So we got together planning to have a prep meeting, but—
Misumi: Hey, hey, let’s make our duo name “Sankaku”~!
Yuki: No. I mean, I rejected it earlier, too.
Misumi: Then, “Triangle”~!
Yuki: That’s just triangle in English. You thought I’d allow that?
Misumi: Yuki’s harsh… boooo.
Izumi: N-Now, now. Misumi-kun’s just throwing out ideas, right?
Yuki: *sigh*... I guess I should say, the manzai routine should come before the name.
Misumi: Oh, gotcha! Then, okay! I wanna do a triangle skit!
Yuki: What? What’s that?
Misumi: Um well, it’s like this~!
Misumi: —Yes! Triangle love!
Misumi: Well? Well? Doesn’t that seem funny?
Izumi: Umm… you got your incredible love for triangles across, but…
Yuki: Rejected.
Misumi: Whaaaaat?
Izumi: (Looks like this is a hard fight…)
Kazunari: Ah, Yukki and Sumi! That was fast, you’re already practicing your manzai?
Yuki: Not yet. We’re in the middle of getting a routine out now.
Tenma: Huh. Going well?
Misumi: I made up a part~! Look look—yes! Triangle love!
Kazunari: Ahaha, Sumi, that’s great! Mega funny~!
Yuki: …does that look like it’s going well?
Tenma: Oof…
Misumi: Hey, hey, Yuki, why don’t you like it?
Misumi: I showed it to the cats earlier and they said it was funny~?
Yuki: Get back to me when humans find it funny.
Kumon: Ahaha, this back and forth is kinda already like manzai! It’s funny~!
Kazunari: Yeah! With this, could we seriously aim for victory!?
Muku: That would definitely be funny enough, but… I kind of want to see Yuki in the funny guy role.
Yuki: The hell?
Kumon: Oh, I kinda get what you mean! Like, Yuki’s always had the impression of the retorter, right?
Yuki: That’s because a certain hack is a hack.
Tenma: Hey! I keep telling you I’m not a hack!
Yuki: I never said the hack was you.
Tenma: Ghk…
Izumi: But Yuki-kun’s funny guy side is certainly something we don’t see too often, so it could be fresh and entertaining.
Kazunari: After talking about it, I’m kinda interested in that too~!
Kumon: Then, this time, Yuki will be the funny guy, and Sumi-san will be the straight man!
Yuki: WHAT!? Hold on, why are you making that choice on your own!?
Muku: Ah… could it be, Yuki-kun, you hate the funny guy role? I-I’m sorry… it’s my fault for running my mouth.
Muku: Ughh… I’m an idiot that can’t read the mood, stupid, sloppy, my brain is just the dust that floats in your house…!
Yuki: Nobody’s saying that. …I complain, but it’s not like I hate it or anything.
Muku: R-Really? …thank goodness.
Yuki: Well, now that I think about it, I haven’t really been the funny guy much, so it might be a good experience.
Tenma: Then, that’s settled.
Misumi: Oka~y, I’ll do my best as the straight man~!
ー
２
Tenma: The funny guy and straight man have been decided, so next is the actual routine.
Misumi: I still want to do a manzai routine with triangle jokes~ Tri-tri-triangle~
Kazunari: It’d be funny, but if there’s only one joke it could be restricting. Maybe it’d be good to have other ones that you can smoothly sprinkle in?
Kumon: What about prop comedy or something?
Yuki: No, Citrun does that.
Tenma: How about song jokes? Like a parody, or funny lyrics.
Yuki: If the championship comes down to lyrics, we’d be overshadowed by the shameless poemer. At least consider that.
Tenma: You’re being real harsh even though people are giving you their thoughts!
Izumi: A routine that won’t feel like it overlaps with the other teams… hmm.
Kazunari: —ah! Hey, hey, what about this?
Kazunari: Every time Sumi retorts to Yuki’s goofing, he changes between three different personas!
Muku: Wow, that sounds pretty interesting!
Kazunari: Ooh, and what’s more, isn’t rotating between three characters kinda triangular!?
Yuki: No, that’s too much.
Misumi: Whoaaah, it’s a triangle~! Kazu, you’re a geniu~s!
Tenma: Does that make it a triangle!? What are you guys seeing!?
Izumi: A-Anyway, Misumi-kun likes Kazunari-kun’s idea. Yuki-kun?
Yuki: Well, if the person who’s doing it wants to then I guess it’s fine. The trianglian should be able to handle the different roles too.
Misumi: Ya~y!
Muku: Then, should we think about the three patterns the straight man’s character will have? What sort of characters do we think would work?
Kumon: Hmm… oh, like a high-and-mighty type!
Yuki: Ahh, so like the hack?
Tenma: Who are you calling a high-and-mighty hack!?
Izumi: Ahaha… um, in that case the others should be easy to understand too, right?
～
CHOOSE!
1. Like a sharp-tongued type?
Izumi: Like a sharp-tongued type? Like, they harshly cut you down.
Tenma: I see, so a cheeky impression like Yuki?
Yuki: Shut up, hack. Also, that’ll overlap with my character so no.
2. Like a timid type?
Izumi: Like a timid type? Like, they nervously retort.
Kumon: Like Muku! In that case, you also need negative wild fantasies!
Yuki: We’d certainly have the element of surprise, but I think it’d be tough since one mistake would turn it into the funny guy.
～
Kazunari: Ooh, ooh! I suggest a straight-laced type!
Muku: The image of a tough guy like Juchan or Sakyo-san! Misumi-san seems like he’d play that so cool…!
Kumon: In that case, for the last one, what about a super-cheerful character, like a party person!
Tenma: Ah, a trend-following type like Kazunari?
Yuki: Got it… yeah, works for me. They’ll be easy to tell apart, so the switch should be easy to make too.
Izumi: Then, the straight man’s characters will be a high-and-mighty type, a straight-laced type, and a trend-following type.
Kazunari: Oh~! Sounds like this’ll be a manzai we’ve never seen before! Ya~y, it’ll be a smash hit~!
Misumi: Smash hit~!
Yuki: Thanks for the help. We’ll come up with the rest, so you guys are off the hook.
Tenma: Got it. All that’s left is to enjoy the performance.
Kumon: Ah~ now I’m SO excited~!
Kazunari: Right? Will the champion finally come from the Summer Troupe this year!?
Muku: Wow, it’d be amazing if that happened…!
Izumi: We’re cheering for you, so do your best, you two!
Yuki: Yeah, yeah. …well, grabbing the victory on our first try would be fun too.
Misumi: Oka~y, we’ll take first place with triangle manzai~!
STORY CLEAR

ok one lovely person said they wanted to read the writing practice i mentioned being tentative about sharing so here <3 i have some notes and thoughts as well included. since the dont reblog function is still broken pls dont rb this thanks
as a disclaimer i am very rusty with prose which is why im trying to practice it at all since ive mainly been writing poetry and not any prose for the past few years since i felt discouraged about writing prose but now im trying to get myself to practice again. also one thing im aware of is that i have a tendency to accidentally switch between tenses so if you notice that yes i know its something im working on. also both of these arent finished they have gaps between action and thoughts which ive noted in the text
for this first one i havent written the beginning establishing the setting and everything but the premise is hiromu has a dream where he and enter are sitting at a cafe in paris and shenanagins ensue. well not really shenanagins its just a conversation i think their dynamic is interesting and i wanted to explore it in a more neutral not battle related setting so thats why i wrote this
---
(beginning and descriptions of surrounding add here)
hiromus narrows his eyes, "did you hack into my dreams?"
this causes enter to scoff, "really, red buster, you wound me," he rests his chin against his palm and explains, "i havent hacked into anything. you called me here."
"thats ridiculous," says hiromu, blunt even when sleeping.
enter smiles, "oui, ridiculous, perhaps, but it is true none the less. it would be rude of me to refuse an invitation, dont you agree?" he pauses, and leans over the table to add, "besides, i wouldnt lie to you- at least not here."
hiromu doesnt like that one bit, nor does he believe anything enter could possibly say. still, its not as if enter had invaded his subconciousness and just started torturing him with computer cables. compared to the more avian related nightmares hiromu had, this was pretty tame.
he briefly tries to recall anything he could have possibly read before, even in passing, about how to wake yourself up from a dream. unfortunately for hiromu the only thing that comes to mind is how to wake up a buddyroid from sleep mode. too bad he doesnt just have some kind of power switch like nick or usada. but maybe something similar to that could work, some kind of jolt to his system. people pinch themselves when theyre dreaming, right? or was it something about holding your breath? hiromu cant remember which one is supposed to work, so with a deep inhale he starts pinching his arms.
to enters credit, he doesnt immediately laugh like a madman upon seeing hiromus cheeks puffed out while he frantically pinches his arms. the most he lets out is a quick snort, before reaching over the table to pat hiromus cheek, "your manners are awful," enter says, "weve only just said hello and youre already trying to wake up. you cant possibly hate me that much, mon cher."
the hand against his cheek is warm. of course, most peoples hands should logically be warm to touch, but not enters. the projection of a human shouldnt be warm. did jin ever feel warm? hiromu doesnt feel keen about playing back all the moments during battle when enter had gotten close enough to possibly feel some kind of heat. thus, thinking about his avatar team mate is the better option. except he cant recall any time jin had ever felt warm either. does a dream offer an avatar more humanity somehow?
hes thought about it for too long perhaps, because he hasnt replied and enter is starting to look at him curiously, and so hiromu decides he can dwell on it when hes actually awake. he lets out his breath and swats away enters hand with a scowl for good measure. enter feigns an exaggerated pout, but then he settles back in his seat all the same, keeping his hands to himself.
hiromus cheek still feels warm and itchy, but hell be damned if he lets enter know something he did got under his skin. this too is like a battle, the enemy can find weaknesses even in the smallest of movements. he restrains himself from scratching his face, opting instead to glare more at enter across the table.
his enemy looks different in the cerebral parisian landscape theyve found each other in. for one thing, hes actually wearing civillian clothes rather than his usual long coat or any of his attempts at disguising himself. with enter perched opposite of him wearing a dark turtle neck and a caramel sweater, hiromu is struck by the jarring realization that the avatar almost looks like a normal person. almost, if one didnt already know that the man sitting there was made of code rather than flesh and bone.
eyeing him carefully, hiromu thinks that he catches the slightest glitch at the edge of enters face, an abnormality that is gone by the time hiromu has noticed it. enter may have decided to wear something a little more reasonable for this encounter, but he still isnt fooling hiromu. even in a fashionable sweater theres something off about him.
the rest of his attire aside, he does still have those ridiculous goggles pushed up against his brow, because of course he does. he would fit the part of a cafe loving paris tourist better if he had a silly little beret instead of his trusty eyeware, but hiromu doesnt particularly feel like pointing that out. seeing enter flounce around in a beret isnt exactly an enjoyable thought at the moment.
(add something here)
"ive heard about people going to paris for the first time and getting sick from the shock of how dirty it is," hiromu says, "you should be glad it doesnt smell here."
enters nose wrinkles, "dont say that, you'll ruin my appetite"
"so you have an appetite? its not like you need to eat, right?"
the avatar shrugs, and carefully picks up his fork, saying, "i may have no need for food to survive, but that doesnt mean i cant enjoy it." enter takes his time with slicing off a chunk of the lemon cake between them, and continues, "theres things humans dont need but do none the less, non? your lives are so short after all, why not chase after every little pleasure."
seeming satisfied with himself, enter takes a bite, eyes closed with an exaggerated look of bliss. whatever emotion it is that enter has been trying to elicit from hiromu, hes just growing more annoyed, rolling his eyes and pointedly turning his body away from the cake.
(add something here)
hiromu stands up with a jolt, and the screeching sound of his chair breaks what little illusion of idle cafe chatter this dream had left to offer. he fumes, fists clenched with his gaze set firmly on enter, who only barely looks up to offer a smug smile.
"we," hiromu spits out the word disdainfully, "are nothing alike. theres nothing to compare between us."
despite the outburst of his dining companion, enters expression remains unchanged. if anything, hiromus insistance upon distancing himself has only amused enter further. he laughs, throwing up his hands half heartedly, as if they were old friends having a casual debate rather than mortal enemies with their blades always at each others throats.
"i suppose we should leave it at that then," enter reaches for one final bite of cake, clearly enjoying himself, "this has been lovely, you really should invite me more often, ma puce."
"go to hell," hiromu tells him, and lunges to try and land a punch against that awful smile.
by the time hiromus fist reaches where enters face would have been, the avatar has already disintegrated into a burst of code. orange numbers and the distant sound of laughter linger for a moment in the air, before hiromu blinks awake in his room.
---
this second one i wrote before the first one and im still not very happy with it and might scrap it and try to rewrite it. i couldnt decide what point of view i wanted to write it from between third person pov or vaguely enter talking so it feels muddled to me. this was mainly a kind of train of thought because i had and still have a lot of thoughts about the avatars and what it means to be human and what it means to be an avatar and if they can feel things etc along with enter and escape being their own people and having their own identities and lives. but i feel like i didnt exactly get all the thoughts that i wanted to convey across very well so again im probably going to rewrite this at some point lmao
--
86 billion neuron cells, with another million billion synapses connecting the spaces in between, all sending information to and from the brain, the extremities and sensory organs having gathered data from the outside worlds stimulation in order to help the human machine function.
from ancient calculating tables and tally sticks, to early machines reading punch cards, to alan turings first thought of the modern computer, you could trace an avatars lineage back to the very first time a human began to count just as easily as you could to any of these.
enter and escape are not any of the doomed researchers that crossed the gap between dimensions, whos data was cleanly picked apart from their miserable mortal bones and woven back into the code of their forms. perhaps you can not fault those same humans for their squeamishness at the thought of any person being undone in such a way, let alone a family member. really, nature has functioned like this long before the first digital computer ever graced the earth with its code.
when a deer falls dead in the forest its body becomes food for the rest of the life among the trees, and in time its flesh decomposes and turns to soil. another one bites the dust only to offer up a meal for the starving masses. you are born, you die, and someone finds a way to steal from you long after youre gone. c'est la vie, as we say.
think of it, dear reader, as such; a thousand photos lie before you of humans. pictures of people from across the world, some of them seeming familiar and some of them with faces unknown to you. you can thumb through as many as youd like, but in the end you will always come to the same realization that somewhere, within these people, are bits and pieces of yourself. this one, looking off camera against a gray sky, has your nose. this person, leaning against a bridge and failing to strike a good pose, has your eyes. the next person will have your smile, ectera ectera. you get the picture- ha.
even if you were not flipping through a book of old family records you would still spot bits of yourself in people far away and long dead. this, mon cher, is how i see best fit to consider what it means to be created from composite data, for i assure you one need not be an avatar to be formed in such a way. you have been strung together from bits and pieces of every person your ancestors ever loved.
love, ah. thats another subject we must discuss, sooner or later, i suppose. can a machine love? really now, i wish you would find something else to ask. anything else would be a more stimulating topic of conversation. why must we agonize over such messy details? humans simply can not stop themselves from philosophizing until theyve got nothing left to make a philosophy out of.
what does it matter if a machine could or couldnt love, when plenty of stinking humans have never even thought to act on the very principle they obsess over. love. let us not get sidetracked by such nonsense, we still have other aspects to examine.
delete that last input, page back with me, now think again on the subject of data, and of rebirth. the doomed researchers are not escape, nor are they enter, just as much as you are not the person who first gave you a specific gene in your dna. the researchers were a sample for an experiment greater than any they had ever run through before. do you get it now? do you understand? of course you wouldnt. humans are foolish enough to think they are one of a kind.
forget about if a machine loves, just what can an avatar feel? if their coding is to be equated to the human nervous system, then is it so hard to consider that they too could find the many vices of the earth pleasurable? enter cursed himself for spoiling messiah, having given the virus too much of a taste of just how splendid human suffering could feel. he was taught pleasure too soon, and greed was already something he knew from birth. enter should have known better than to offer up a plate of food he could not continue to harvest sustainably- not yet, at least. especially when the one gobbling down that harvest throws a tantrum the moment its all gone.
really, is it so terrible to ask for a thank you once in a while? you would think that after devoting your existence entirely to a single being, you might get a few bones thrown your way. in this we could draw another parallel between the humans and machine, where enter is scorned by his messiah in the same vein as humans praying for salvation from some unforgiving god.
i am drifting off course. forgive me, you see a machine can ramble just as easily as a human, non?
---
ok yay thanks if you read all or any of this honestly i appreciate it. id love any feedback anyone has including constructive criticism from writer friends but i just ask that you maybe try to be a little gentle with me and remember that im very rusty yknow but i do still appreciate any thoughts or helpful tips thank u again mwah

Game Recommendations likes Duskwood
I'm sure there are others like myself looking games similar to Duskwood to play. So I thought I'd play some and give you my thoughts. If you have suggestions let me know.
I'll update this from time to time. This was last updated on January 28th of 2023.
Completed:
The Healing
Pros:
Players really got to know the core characters, and I felt it was pretty immersive.
I personally am tired of the 'swap and make 3' (aka candy crush) like games, so I liked the minigames used for 'hacking.
Pretty clever puzzles
If you like dark this does get a bit dark
What's scarier than one masked killer? Three.
For premium, I loved breaking the fourth wall and talking to the authors. Great fun.
Multiple endings. I believe there is a good, a neutral, and a bad end.
Your choices matter, even when they may not seem to.
Cons:
So. Many. Characters! It was hard for me to remember who was who and with each character came a lot of info.
Considering so many characters, I felt like only Andreas/Zoe were romanceable.
I was unable to save everyone, which makes me sad. However, that does make the fight more personal.
Would I recommend/Recommend buying premium?
Absolutely recommend playing. If you want 4th wall breaking dialogue yes premium's worth it, if not then I wouldn't recommend buying. I don't recall premium coming up any other time really.
Blue Orchid
Pros:
I like the puzzles and the 'minigames' in this one. They show you a photo and you solve the puzzle based on it, or you find the important things.
If there's a puzzle your struggling to figure out, no worries. The groups on your side and after a bit they'll figure it out. They provide hints too.
Small cast, and I quite liked the characters. There is no romance, but there's very little time for such thing.
There's more I really liked, but I'd spoil too much so I'll say this. I was not expecting the plot twist at the end of chapter 1 and into chapter 2. The game did a great job keeping me on my toes.
As you can imagine I found the plot really engaging, and interesting.
Depending on your preference, the game isn't actually all that long. I got most of it finished in a single evening.
Cons:
Ticket system. Most of your dialogue options require a ticket. So you have the option to pay for more, or watch free ads. Takes about 20 minutes for tickets to refresh.
This one is not a murder mystery situation. So if you're expecting to uncover the identity of a killer, this isn't for you. It's a bit more complicated of a plot to explain without some massive spoilers. Let me just say, it's more science fiction than crime.
First chapter alone would probably make people want to stop, I do recommend continuing. I don't want to spoil too much though.
Personally, I don't like when characters are my allies, then not, then they are, then they're not again. Let me just say, got a few emotions I need to work through on who I should have trusted/liked at the end.
You don't really develop much of a bond with the characters like in the Healing or Duskwood. In fact you really only learn the back story of two characters, and those are the two I'm most confused about.
Would I recommend/Recommend buying premium?
Absolutely recommend playing. I found it very fun, and a decent short game. As for buying premium? I don't think it's worth it. No special dialogue or anything. It's just 10usd for unlimited tickets. I can just "watch" a bunch of ads.
Currently Playing:
Somewhere- The Vault Papers
Thoughts thus far: (I'm not very far in this game)
Unlike the other games, this one doesn't look like a phone interface. It's more monotone in color and blocky.
The game will be put on hold from anywhere from minutes to hours so the characters in it can do something. Can be a bit annoying.
I haven't encountered any minigames yet. Just been directing 'Cat' on how to escape danger.
The term Crop Corp made me laugh.
Then it went downhill again.
I hate Cat. She acts in a way that makes it VERY hard for me to like her.
Honest opinion, I'm annoyed by the waiting only to not have dialogue options. Personally not a huge fan thus far and from what I've read from the developer's replies to bad reviews, not going great.
Scriptic: Interactive Dramas
Thoughts thus far: (Completed one of the first episodes)
Multiple chapters, multiple episodes
Oh my gosh I'm getting Layton Brothers Mystery Room vibes. I'm hyped
I have to pay for the next chapter of a case :,D
You play as a detective who is the 'behind the phone' guy. You contact the on the ground men, the lab, and intelligence.
You can interrogate suspects and decide on if you arrest them or not.
Honestly, very good chapter 1, holy cow I am very tempted to buy the next chapter of the 'redman' case
I have discovered there are free seasons.
Recommended
The Seven, aka The Healing's prequels.

Happy Wednesday
Chapter 15
You had worked with Harold to try and stop the Drakes from killing each other, but it seemed only one thing was going to work. Reese brought them back to the familiar safehouse to talk to one another. You were hesitant about leaving the library, not quite brave enough to do it on your own yet, but Bear remained close and Harold was as encouraging as ever.
‘I won’t let you out of my sight.’ He promised as he helped you into a long grey coat that Reese had brought for you from your home. ‘And besides as long as you know Dutch, Bear will be there every step of the way.’ You looked down at the sweet face of Harold’s dog and watched the man himself put his own coat on. ‘Are you ready?’
You let out a quick breath. ‘I think so.’
Harold led you towards the exit, but you could feel your courage faltering. ‘It’s okay.’ Harold stopped on the bottom step of the entrance to the library. ‘I’ll keep you safe.’
You took another breath and stepped tentatively out into the night air, looking around for any immediate danger. Harold went to offer his hand, but immediately retracted, you wished he hadn’t and from the look on his face, he noticed. ‘Do you want me to-‘
‘No, it’s okay.’ You frowned, unable to look at him. ‘I can do it.’
Harold had no other option other than to comply with your wish, he held both the back door and front door open for you and Bear to get in.
Driving towards the familiar safe house was quiet, Harold didn’t know what to say and you were focused on keeping your anxiety to a minimum, breathing steadily and calmly, trying not to frantically look around the streets for any sign of danger.
Once you arrived, it was obvious to everyone that there was significant tension between the two of you.
‘Hi, I’m Detective Carter.’ Carter held her hand out to shake, which you took trying for a smile.
‘Evelyn Brooke. Evie.’ You nodded.
‘Evie, I’ve heard a lot about you, we use one of your security systems down at the precinct.’ Carter was making small talk, and everyone knew it.
‘Yes, I’m aware. I hope it’s doing it’s job.’
‘Well, it would be, but someone still has the ability to hack in.’ Carter shifted her gaze to Harold, who was staring at the ground. You gave him a strange frown.
‘It’s not like you built it yourself,’ he defended. ‘There are holes in the programme that you should probably address in the next update.’ You knew it was a form of compliment, but you were still having trouble staying focused, petting Bear to keep yourself grounded. ‘How’s Mr Reece doing?’
Attention was finally on the Drakes who were currently having their hoods taken off by Reese, who promptly put them back on when they couldn’t stop arguing.
Harold kept an eye on you, you hated the arguing, but this was the tactic Reese was going with for now. Harold tried to listen to what the Drakes were saying to each other and whilst looking at you, it suddenly became very obvious what was needed.
‘I think it’s time for a different tac.’ Harold mused, not being able to take his eyes off you for a moment. But when you turned your head towards him, he couldn’t bear the thought of you seeing what was going through his mind.
Harold quickly prepared a tray and had Reese blindfold the Drakes.
‘You must think we’re monsters.’ Sabrina said as Harold set the table between them and took the tray away.
‘I have looked into the faces of real monsters, Mrs Drake,’ Harold picked up the picture frame. ‘What I see here, are two people who have stopped talking to one another. Whose frustration turned to hatred,’ He couldn’t let his gaze flicker up towards the window where you were watching. ‘No, you don’t look like monsters, in fact, you looked like you were very much in love.’
Harold placed the picture frame between them and cut the restraints on one hand each. He returned to the room behind the window and saw you looking down at the ground, Carter looked a little uncomfortable and was searching for a conversational out, but it was Reese who broke the thick tension.
‘How did you know that this is what they needed?’ He asked.
Harold was about to speak, when you looked up, swallowing hard. ‘Harold was always good at knowing exactly what people in trouble need.’ You looked at him with watery eyes. ‘You could always see things other people couldn’t.’
Harold stepped a little further into the room, shoving his hands in his pockets. ‘Nothing’s hard to see when all you have to do is really look at it.’
Harold gave a small shrug, knowing that the things he saw in you, were exactly the things you needed to be seen. You wanted someone to see your insecurities and vulnerabilities and love you anyway. He did.
The Drake’s eventually gave up their contact details for the hitmen and Reese took Carter to stop them. Harold waited at the safehouse with you for a while, not wanting you to feel you needed to leave just yet.
You wandered around the apartment, fond memories floating through your mind.
‘This hasn’t changed.’ You chuckled. ‘It’s still exactly the same as I remember it.’
‘I didn’t bother redecorating.’ Harold followed you at a distance through the rooms. ‘Never seemed like something I’d be very good at anyway. I always thought you’d do something with it.’
‘Yeah?’ You said, surprised, examining the kitchen and finding the stash of sencha tea. It made you smile a little to think he still drank it.
‘You were the one who spent the most time here,’ Harold reasoned. ‘It always felt like it belonged to you.’
You didn’t respond, instead heading through to the bedroom you used to sleep in when you were too tired to go home. It was exactly the same as when you left it. A lump began forming in your throat when you couldn’t bear to remain staring at it. You went back through to the main living area.
‘You know,’ you held onto your emotions, desperately. ‘When you died… I thought about coming here. I just wanted to feel like a part of you was still around…’ you looked over and the long wooden table and Harold knew exactly what was going through your mind. ‘I said yes, in that exact spot. I wanted to relive it, just for a moment, hoping it would somehow bring you back.’ You were struggling to keep yourself composed and Harold was failing as well. ‘But it would hurt too much when you didn’t come walking through the door, so I didn’t bother.’
Harold stepped towards you, stopping at the bottom of the steps leading to the bedrooms.
‘I won’t upset you any further by pretending that I would have come back if you were here,’ he said. ‘But if I had known what pain it would cause you… maybe I would have rethought everything… maybe not. We’ll never really know.’ You knew he was right, it hurt so much, but he was right. Harold checked his watch. ‘It’s Wednesday.’ He said, rummaging around in his pocket. ‘It always was a good day for us, so I hope that at least can continue.’ He pulled out the necklace that you’d thought you lost. ‘I didn’t know whether you’d want it back, but I should have given you the option before now. Anyway… here.’
Harold handed over the silver necklace with the pearl and diamond, in perfect condition. You thought about not taking it for a second, but the memory behind it was one of the best ones you had of Harold and your way of preserving the man you once knew. You gently took it from his warm hand and stared down at it.
‘It’s still beautiful.’ You whispered, Harold smile briefly. ‘I still remember you giving it to me.’
‘You were always uncomfortable with me giving you gifts.’ Harold remembered with you. ‘But it was a special occasion and I wanted to give you something to mark the day.’
‘It was a Thursday as I recall.’ You smiled at the memory.
‘It was always a Wednesday to me.’ Harold shook his head. You let your eyes find his, he was right, Wednesdays were a special day. ‘I don’t know whether I should offer to help you put it on, or not. I don’t want to presume.’
And just like that, you laughed. ‘No.’ You allowed face to settle into an easy smile. ‘You never did. That’s what I loved most about you, you cared.’
‘Of course…’ Harold swallowed. ‘I still do… but I know it’s not up to me to dictate what happens next between us, if anything. I’ll be happy if you’re happy.’
You felt your body weaken the same way it used to, when Harold showed his kind side, the side that couldn’t do anything but love you, but it was overwhelming. You handed the necklace back to Harold and for a moment he was confused, until you shifted your hair out of the way.
Harold wouldn’t pass up the opportunity to make you feel the way you used to. He indicated the mirror next to where you were standing, moving around you so that you could watch him place the necklace on. Tears began building behind your eyes, stinging them more than you would like to have admitted.
You watched the focus in Harold’s eyes as he clipped the silver chain securely and allowed it to settle down in place over your chest. Harold watched you through the mirror, again trying to assess his options.
‘I don’t want to let go of what we had,’ he spoke quietly. ‘But I am aware that things will never return to what they were. So, I would like to offer you something else?’
‘What’s that?’
‘Friendship.’ He said it so simply, it cracked your heart. ‘Perhaps some kind of alliance. If you’re right and there is something coming for us, I would rather fight with you than try to protect you from afar.’
Your gaze dropped for a moment, before coming back up. ‘I still can’t forgive you for what you did.’
‘I’m not asking you to.’ Harold shook his head slowly, making sure you understood. ‘I’m just trying to find a solution to our problem.’
‘Our problem.’ You breathed steadily. ‘You mean the one where you died, and I wanted to.’
Harold felt the whip of pain surge through his chest, he turned his head and stepped away from you.
‘I’m sorry.’ You closed your eyes, shaking your head. ‘I didn’t mean to-‘
‘I told you once to never apologise to me for any reason.’ Harold cleared his throat, putting a distance between you. ‘I maintain that request.’ You didn’t know what to say, but Harold did. ‘For the first time I have no idea what I’m supposed to say to you, but I know what I want to make clear, if you’d allow me to speak frankly?’
You opened your eyes and stared at him curiously, waiting for his next words. Harold’s eyes were also beginning to sting from the build up of water.
‘You were…’ the word caught in his throat, he couldn’t bear it. ‘Assaulted.’ It was the only word he could muster and you felt the memory wash over your body briefly, but enough that it hurt. ‘And not for the first time in your life and I can’t know what that’s like. But I can see the effect it’s having on you. Your defences were high the first time as well, you didn’t let anyone do anything for you because you were scared that they would hurt you again… and then one day, after weeks of trying, I offered to make you some coffee, you said yes.’ You remembered the day. ‘I knew you were attempting to take a step towards normality and it seemed like a terrifying prospect to you, so I made it and let you drink it in your own time. I gave you the space you needed and it seemed to help. I��m certain it was cold by the time you got to it, but the look on your face when you realised that I didn’t try to hurt you, that maybe I could be trusted just a little.’ Harold couldn’t escape his light smile. ‘It was one of the best things I ever did for you.’ Harold gave you a moment with the memory, swallowing hard. ‘I want to prove to you that I can be trusted once again not to hurt you, but I am scared in case that turns out to be false and you have even more reason to put distance between us.’
‘Harold-‘
‘I can’t lose you again.’ The tears had built so much that they were pouring out of Harold. ‘I can’t be the reason you cry or the reason your dignity is stripped away like that. I don’t have enough left of me to give you to fix that anymore… and all I want is for you to tell me you still love me.’
Both of you broke, crying hard, unable to hold each other for fear that it would do more damage than good. You hadn’t even realised how broken you both were until the damage was done.
Harold was perched on the edge of the coffee table, and you sat on the steps leading out of the living area. It was quiet for the longest time.
‘How do we fix this?’ Harold soon asked, you held your forehead in your hand, the pressure on your cut was nothing compared to the pain in your heart.
‘I don’t know.’ You lifted your head. ‘I don’t even know if we can.’ You looked at the window to see the sun was coming up. ‘But…’ Harold’s attention was firmly on you, anything you could give him to help him move forward with you. ‘I think time is key. I think we can do anything we want, we always could, but we need to be careful about what we do with that power.’
Harold nodded, he understood.
‘I need to process this, heal.’ You sighed, raking your fingers through your hair, just trying to find some relief from the aching shell you were calling a body these days. ‘I need to think about how I feel about you.’
Harold’s face dropped for a moment, he prayed you wouldn’t hate him, but that was still a possibility.
‘If it’s at all within your ability,’ he spoke tentatively. ‘I would be grateful if this was not the last time we spoke.’
Once again, it was quiet. You honestly had no way of knowing if this was it or not, you had no way of determining whether you could go on with Harold close by, or if you were better off alone. Your emotions were running high and the days you’d spent watching Harold, trying to decide just how you felt, led to little in the way of a conclusion. You just didn’t know.
‘I should get going,’ you sucked in a deep breath. ‘I have a company to run and people who will be wondering where I am.’
You both stood up and Harold wiped away any remaining tears. He led you to the door where Seb was waiting in a car outside, of course he would know where you were.
‘If you need anything,’ you said, turning back to see him. ‘I’m sure you already have my number.’
‘The same to you, Miss Brooke.’ Harold didn’t want you to leave, but this was best.
‘Miss Brooke?’ You said, a little surprised. ‘Is that where we are now?’
‘I don’t know where we are anymore.’
‘No, me neither.’ You said, sadly.
Harold watched you step into the blacked out car and leave for your office. He watched as you took a death breath, breathing out slowly to keep your emotions in check. Once again, you were gone.

PLEASE PLEASE MORE DETAILS ABT KAI'S PALACE AND SHADOW 👀👀👀👉👈
OKAY OKAY OKAY HEHEHE GLADLY >:D THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR ASKING FRIEND <3 <3 <3
Now get ready for the Kai Palace essay!!!! (with very special thanks to @nicxan for giving me the initial circus idea and hashing out all of the details with me, hehe <3 Love you friend!!)
Under the cut as usual :3
Okay, so let's start with the basics, shall we!! :D
Kai's sin is pride! Both because, yes, he has a big ego, has to be the center of attention at all times, and hates admitting to his mistakes in general, but also because he's unwilling to accept that he hasn't coped as well as he pretends he has. He's convinced that he's strong enough to deal with everything all on his own, and that he has to prove that he is strong enough by not asking for help. He very much believes that pain makes him stronger. That he needs to tough it up to prove himself to the world.
The distortion is a traveling circus, because 1. again, yes, he needs to be the center of attention, and, yes, he's putting on a performance in an attempt to be noticed and well-liked, 2. he has fantasized about running away and joining the circus before, dreaming of independence and broadening his horizons, and 3. he doesn't feel like he truly belongs anywhere. And yet... he always has to do everything he can to keep his loved ones near him.
I assure you, this is far from a healthy circus environment lmao.
And the location! Rumi's childhood home, of course! That's were Kai watched his family be reduced to a family of two overnight. It changed the entire paradigm!! Any sense of safety that Kai had as a kid, any reassurance that he would always have his family to rely on, any conviction that he could trust his dad to always know the right answer... Say goodbye to the innocence of childhood! It didn't help that Kai's change in demeanor also costed him his friends (the Yoshizawas included). He was truly alone in his world with only Takuto to count on :')
I sound like a broken record repeating that Kai's terrified of losing people again, haha, but it's a key element of his palace. The Ringmaster's show has to be perfect, to impress people, to entertain them, to keep them coming back.
And the troupe! Very important. The performers are all special people to Kai. People who all affect Kai's image. And they all have their own roles based on how Kai perceives them!
For example! Cognitive Ann and Ryuji are both clowns. They're fun, they're engaging, and they love to bring joy to people. Ann also does face painting!
Cognitive Akiren walks the tightrope. He's carefully balancing his double life as a phantom thief and as a "delinquent" student, and everything's on the line. One false move could mean his fall from grace.
Cognitive Yusuke does aerial acrobatics! He's graceful, elegant, artistic, gay. What else do I have to say. And Makoto does bike tricks!
Cognitive Futaba handles the holograms. You know, as in, holographic elephants, horses, and other animals! This a reference to her hacking skills but also to her being more reclusive and working her magic for the Phantom Thieves from behind the scenes.
Sumi is also there, of course. The Ringmaster KNOWS she is Sumire, and he was pissed when he first found out cognitive Takuto was encouraging her to perform as Kasumi, but she began crying and begging to be allowed to perform as Kasumi. And so, the Ringmaster caved, and now she is announced to the public as Kasumi Yoshizawa.
AND OF COURSE. Last but not least.
God, I've been DYING to talk about this man, hehehe >:)
Cognitive Takuto is the circus' usher! He's the first thing that people see when they see Kai, he brings people in with his friendly, dorky personality, he guides them to their seats, he offers them snacks, he cleans up after Kai's messes, he's overworked as fuck. The circus goers go for Takuto, and it's the Ringmaster's goal to make them stay for Kai.
As you can imagine, the usher's role is not considered a job of honor in this circus. The Ringmaster is a package of all of Kai's worst impulses, darkest feelings, and deepest fears, with none of the real Kai's restraint or moral compass. He's an absolute asshole who loves being shitty just because he can. And, well... Takuto is his personal punching bag.
I assure you, cognitive Takuto hasn't had a single fucking break in his short cognitive life.
The Ringmaster isn't afraid of blaming Takuto for everything that goes wrong in the circus, of taking out his anger on him, or of using him to set an example. Nothing Takuto does is ever good enough in the Ringmaster's eyes. If he does his job poorly, he's making Kai look bad and driving people away from the circus. If he does his job well, he's taking the spotlight away from Kai and driving people away from the circus. An usher's job is stupid no matter what, because he only brings people in but doesn't make them stay. But trying to learn skills to aim for a different role is also useless, because Takuto is inherently a liability for the circus.
If any of the performers do poorly, it must be because Takuto distracted them or gave them bad advice. If any of the performers defy the Ringmaster, it must be because Takuto is putting strange ideas in their heads and trying to turn them against Kai. The performers don't stand up for him because they're afraid of suffering the same fate as him if they do, so they just let him take the blame...
Of course, underneath of all of the rage and the smugness that the Ringmaster puts on for show, he is actually driven by pure, unfiltered fear. He's terrified of people liking Takuto more than him, and that's why he feels the need to knock him down a bunch of pegs to keep him in his place whenever he can. Takuto can't have too much power -- he already abandoned Rumi, he's at fault for all the pain Kai had to endure when losing her, so who knows who he'll take away next if the Ringmaster doesn't keep him in line?
The Ringmaster claims that the only reason he keeps Takuto around is out of pity. But, oh, you KNOW that's not the case. Although he'd rather die before admitting it, the Ringmaster needs Takuto for emotional support as much as the real Kai does (even if he goes about it in cruel ways that would horrify the real Kai...), so, if cognitive Takuto were to leave, the Ringmaster (and subsequently, the circus) would immediately begin to crumble. The circus needs cognitive Takuto so much more than the poor man has been led to believe...
And cognitive Takuto just wants to be helpful to the circus he loves so much! But every time he tries, he just gets beaten down and toyed with and told that he is a fuck-up who will never do anything right :( It has really been drilled into him, and yet he keeps trying and trying because maybe if he tries hard enough someday that will change...
God. What a sad, broken mess of a man. You have no idea how badly I want to smooch him and carry him away from the circus and show him affection and softness for the first time. Man, what a tragic character. And the worst part is that he'll never the happy ending he dreams of, because he'll disappear along with the palace as soon as any real change happens. I'm almost angry that we made him so human, lmao :')
I've also never wanted to punch and then patch up a fictional character like I wanna punch and then patch up the Ringmaster, lmao. On the one hand he makes me feel bad for the real Kai, but on the other he's tarnishing the real Kai's name and honor so :(
But hey! That's how it is sometimes with shadows and palaces! :D
And one last thing! Kai's treasure is a megaphone because Rumi made him feel heard, and he wants nothing more than to be heard and seen again. In the real world, it manifests as a family photo album that Rumi's parents gave her and that she then gave Kai. He just wants to feel like he has a family again ;-;

Long thought post.
Tldr: Good song and MV. Graphics are nice but somewhat disappointed at how safe it is.
Firstly I quite like the fact that the group is only four members because if it got bigger than that I don't think that it would have any good chance at lasting because of the costs of the cg.
I've only listened to the song once whilst I watched the MV and it is in my head already. That being said I'm a bit disappointed, let me elaborate.
So even from the promotional pictures, mainly the box of Pandora's box was very aespa-esque. Which is fine, kpop is notorious for 'heavy' inspiration to put it politely so it didn't bother me but it did set the tone of what to aexpect (yes lame pun lol). For example Aespa's ae versions look like cheaper LoL K/DA models, which is jarring at times but because they aren't all of aespa it doesn't have a negative impact. Btw not saying I hate ae's, I especially love Naevis, but as I've mentioned (I think) before, I wish they had a different art direction.
I will say MAVE'S models are a lot better in every way which is refreshing. Kind of like Saejin from SUPERKIND but though his model is good it's also quite static. Then again they are a smaller company so it's understandable but overall I'm happy with the graphics.
My personal taste wishes that they looked more fantastical. Maybe bigger eyes, coloured hair and that high fantasy goes into the music too which I'll get into later. The reason why I wish it was more OTT, is because I'm extra but mainly because it can come across as a gimmick. Like they're just non tired robots doing the same thing as real people can do but are limited by their coding. Like just do the same MV but with a green screen and it might even be cooler with real people.
Anyway I don't have an issue with AI. I know the waters are muddy but I'm a gamer, and every year graphics get closer to looking human. Which is fascinating and terrifying.
But for me as long as you can tell its not real like I guess with more anime styles and etc look I'm quite happy. I think if they also had a less human look it would give more immersion to them in the fact that in 5-10 years they could look dated and not in a good way. Like with any experimental media you either have aged well or poorly. Only media with a uniqueness or charm can both be aged well and poorly at the same time. Like cult and campy content.
Now onto the song. I do like it because well it's in my head after one listen and I've been typing this just after I watched the MV! But as I've said (in a way) it's just okay. Like when I hear 'New GG AI' my mind gets excited for the future. This MV was very much now future. So it's cool and pretty but yawningly safe.
Rather than an aespa, K/DA combo, I'd have loved a Dreamcatcher, LOONA, onlyoneof combo. Dystopian, high fantasy and allure.
Still for a debut it was good even though the down dance move was way too close to black mamba for my liking. And that's the only issue I have. Like yeah of course with everything art/dance moves are not only for one group or person but you can tell when it's ahem 'heavily inspired'.
I'd also love if they grow a stronger identity than just mix of aespa and K/DA. Like K/DA is great because its has Queen Soyeon and Miyeon with other great artists and a world already built to steer their vision and on Aespa's side they have a growing world with trained idols that bring that excitement to the real stage. Both have amazing music. Mave needs to get a signature visual and sound to push them into a truly innovate group.
Still if the company can keep up with the graphics, music and potential world building if any I'm interested. As long as its not we are being hacked by a giant spider or something and buy 'our bit coins for photocards' or some nonsense haha.
Lastly if they could keep the majority or merch online that would be awesome and hopefully they are paying the voices behind the members a good salary. The cg idols wouldn't be alive without their human voices after all.
🗒Notes: As usual I might add more later and there is probably some spelling and grammar mistakes.

hello i just finished your 'know all your enemies fic' (cant remember if i sent it anonymously or not, but i was the one who said i was just 2-3 chap. in) and i just want to say i demand financial compensation for the emotional damage your words have brought me
I can only offer remuneration in fun Jim moments that I ended up cutting. Hope you like!
~~~~~~~
Spock did that thing vulcans sometimes did where their face went blank in this particular way that meant 'I would be rolling my eyes right now if it weren't illogical to do so'.
~~~~~~~
"It's an effective move," Jim admits, shrugging. "I've thought about sitting on Bones more than once but he'd probably just dump me on the floor and then stick a hypo in my neck." He shakes his head. "He doesn't seem it, but he's actually really strong."
~~~~~~~
"Nothing like a little subversive academia to really cement a friendship."
~~~~~~
"He asked me a bunch of questions, which I only answered with exactly enough information to count but not enough to explain anything because, you know, malicious compliance is fun."
~~~~~~
"He is," Jim said, "but he's a cadet, too. Not a kid - actually gonna turn 30 soon." His eyes lit up and he looked at [spoiler]. "We should throw him a surprise party."
"Oh my god," [spoiler] laughed, "Bones would hate that. Let's do it."
~~~~~~
"That doesn't work on me, I'm not Pike. I'm not even an ensign - I'm not in a position to torture anyone."
Jim murmured under his breath, "You sure about that?"
"Don't worry," [spoiler] said over his shoulder as he headed for the door, "when I'm of sufficient rank to torture people you'll be the first to know."
He walked out and Jim turned and smiled at [spoiler 2]. "Crazy kids. Gotta love 'em."
~~~~~~
[spoiler] shook his head. "Commander. Such a bigwig now, Jimmy."
"You would think so," Jim said, "But they still won't let me take more than 15 books from the library at a time, and if you can't do that then really, what's the point?"
"Oh, totally," [spoiler] said, "you can't really say you've made it until they let you take 20, bare minimum."
"You probably have to be a Command admiral to do that, and I'm pretty sure the admiralty is full-up."
[spoiler] hummed. "Think you could get Archer to give you his spot?"
Jim cocked his head to the side like he was considering. "Mmmmaybe."
Michaels coughed into her hand to hide a laugh.
~~~~~~
"That sounds like an interesting story."
"Not really much of a story," Michaels said. "Some of the others and I just used it to stick something to one of the donated sculptures on campus."
"Ahh, you can't say it like that," Jim chided. He turned to [spoiler]. "They shoved Komack's bumper into Komack's Asshole."
[spoiler] choked on his beer, barely keeping from spraying the table.
"See," Jim said, "gotta go for maximum impact."
Michaels nodded like he'd just imparted some invaluable wisdom.
~~~~~~
"You should find out. Use your rank to boss some people into giving you the info."
"Or I could just look for myself."
"Can you? Are you privvy to assignments and stuff?"
"No." Jim side eyed [spoiler] and grinned. "But that's never stopped me."
He huffed, amused. "You mean you're gonna hack into whatever database it's in and find it."
"It's just so easy," he exclaimed, and [spoiler] laughed. "Seriously I'm always like half a second away from overhauling their whole infosec program."
"Would you even have time for that?"
"Fuck it," Jim said, "I'll make time. Maybe I'll do it this summer. Or maybe I'll just [spoiler 2] and do it then. If Marcus doesn't like it he can suck it."
"Gross, Jim. That guy's mouth is probably disgusting."
Jim shuddered. "Why," he said, plaintive," why, why would you say that?"
"But now when you talk to him you can think of how gross he is instead of how much you want to wring his neck. It's basic homicide prevention, Jim."
"It worries me how much you think about strangling people."
~~~~~~
[spoiler] started snickering. "You know what this reminds me of?"
"Yes," Jim said, "because you have an eidetic memory and make sure to remind me of that fact by recounting all the embarassing things I did in front of you as a kid."
~~~~~~
"Bye," he said, sounding dazed, and watched her leave before finally sitting down.
"Bones," Jim exclaimed, "what are you doing?"
Bones startled. "Excuse me?"
"When are you going to ask her out?"
Bones flushed. "Never."
"Seriously?" Jim glanced after her. "You don't want to date her?"
"Why don't you date her?" was Bones brilliant come back. "She likes you. Plus, you guys -" he paused, glancing at [spoiler], "... used to, uh. Date."
[spoiler] snorted. "Are you trying to say they used to be fuck buddies?"
"Jesus, [spoiler]," Jim said, shocked.
[spoiler] just glanced at him, unimpressed. "You do know I'm not still eight, right?"
"I know," Jim said, telling himself he wasn't pouting. "Still."
"Oh come on," [spoiler] said, "you're telling me you didn't talk like that when you were my age? Or were doing that?"
"I wasn't -" Jim spluttered, flustered. "I didn't -"
"Really?" God, even Bones was skeptical of him now. How was he not as outraged as Jim? "You never..." He made a complicated motion with his mug and two fingers that had Jim resisting the urge to cover [spoiler]'s eyes and ears.
~~~~~~
Kate huffed a laugh. "You were kind of a weird kid, huh?"
"Kate, how could you?" Jim rolled over with an exageratedly-sad look. "I'm a weird kid now. How could you slight me like that?"
"I dunno, I heard you were spotted walking someone's dog while drinking coffee yesterday morning." She winced and shook her head. "Sounds awful normal to me."
"Does it help that it was Archer's dog?"
"Uh...yeah, actually. What even is your life?"
Jim just shrugged. He wondered that sometimes, too.
"I still can't believe you know Archer," Alex moaned, envious.
"I still can't believe you know T'Pol," Kate said. "I'm totally jealous. Now she is hot."
Lg'ner turned a page. "Isn't she more than 150 years old?"
"So? She's Vulcan, she ages slower than a human. And even so, older women are hot."
Alex threw out his hands. "Thank you!"
"25 is nothing like 150 and also is in no way an 'older woman', unless you're maybe 16 - no offense, Jim - and then that would be seriously fucked up."
"I don't know." Again Alex looked into the distance. "I think I would have thought Professor DinBar was super hot when I was 16, too."
"That's not really the issue, though," Jim said. "I mean don't get me wrong - I definitely agree that she's insanely good looking. But noticing that from afar is different than if she actually came up to me and said 'Hey Jim, I noticed you noticing me when we were discussing the effect of building the colony on Deneva on the local nesting bird population. Wanna go out and get messy?'"
~~~~~~
Jim shrugged, going for nonchallant. "Wasn't a big deal. Mom was doing long term missions, and there was a good school on a colony. Just made sense." He swallowed. "Nothing exciting."
"Yeah I think I'd be kinda bummed too if I got to leave Earth for a whole three years and spent it just going to school."
Jim rolled his eyes. "Stop trying to act like you're not as big a nerd as the rest of us. You lost that fight as soon as you enrolled at this academy."
"Damn, foiled again. My reputation will never recover." Kate stood and brushed off her skirt. "I think I'm gonna go back to my dorm and think about how smokin' T'Pol is then cry into some ice cream about it. Or nap. Either or."
S'ceana squinted up at her. "I think you just have some kind of Vulcan fetish. How xenophobic of you."
"Hey, not my fault Lieutenant Spock looks especially fine in red. Jim can back me up on this."
Jim sat up. "Back you up on what?"
"That Spock is super pretty. I know you agree, I catch you looking at him all the time."
"I do?" Damn, he'd thought he'd stopped that.
S'ceana leaned forward to pat him on the leg. "It's okay, Kirk. He actually looks at you a lot, too."
Kate nodded. "That's true. You should go for it, Jim. You definitely have a shot. Unlike Alex here and Professor DinBar."
"Hey."
"Am I wrong?"
"...No."
"May as well, Jim." S'ceana stood and held out a hand to haul Jim up. "Damn, why are you so heavy? You're kind of a twink."
He chose to let that slide. "I'm pretty sure he kind of hates my guts, so no thanks."
"Aww, really? But you're so cute and have such dreamy eyes."
"Right?" Jim lifted his bag onto his shoulder. "I'm a total catch. Guy doesn't know what he's missing."
~~~~~~
Obviously there are a lot of characters I cut, and events I shuffled around, but there it is. I hope you find my offering of sufficient value to cover all damages.
And thanks again for the love 💜
