yandere portrait
a/n: new blog, first post!! it's longer than i intended but in my defense, i wrote this to cope w the aftermath of bugbear's route in saint spell's, so. sorry if it's messy </3
warnings: yandere content, gn reader, male yandere, delusional yandere, i think this technically classifies as stalking, the feeling of being watched, slightly graphic murder, kidnapping, they/them pronouns do get used to describe the reader at the end, no nsfw but still minors do not interact!!
Tumblr media
— there's this portrait inside the attic of the house you had just moved into. you had found it while cleaning the place out, getting rid of the belongings of the former owner of the place.
— you had tried throwing it out along with all the other stuff, but there was just something about it that... well... you aren't sure how to describe it, but looking at the man in the portrait, you felt bad for wanting to throw him away. he looked so sad in the painting, staring down at a wilted rose in his hand while being surrounded by a field of yellow chrysanthemums.
— it was silly, to be honest. it was a painting, you aren't sure why you felt bad for it, but you did. so you kept it. in the attic.
— and it was all fine and dandy. you honestly forgot about the portrait after a few weeks since you rarely ever went up to the attic, and you were so busy unpacking and decorating your new home that you just didn't have the energy to think about it.
— but then one night, you heard a very loud thump coming from upstairs. you weren't sleeping, catching up on some work you had put back, but the noise startled you nonetheless. had somebody broken in? the thought made you feel sick as you looked up at the ceiling of your room, waiting to see if you could hear footsteps or anything like that.
— you heard nothing.
— okay... then maybe something fell? you hadn't exactly cared too much about where you put stuff up there, so you wouldn't be surprised if something did. you... should probably go check, to make sure nothing was broken up there.
— when you got to the attic, it didn't take you long to find the source of the loud noise you had heard. the portrait of the man had fallen from where you had placed him and was lying face down on the ground.
— you picked it up with a sigh, only for the frame that surrounded it to come undone in the process. the fall must've broken it. it was old, so you weren't surprised. you're just glad the painting looked okay—wait... was the man always looking at the viewer?
— you're... not going to think too hard on that. you're pretty sure you have a frame that would fit, so you carefully roll the portrait up, making sure to not accidentally bend the corners or cause any tears before making your way back downstairs to begin your search for a new frame
— it was definitely a long search, but you eventually found one tucked deep away in the closet you were using for storage. and it was a perfect fit! and after some debating with yourself, you decided you probably shouldn't put it back up in the attic, just in case it fell again.
— there wasn't any place for you to hang it at the moment, so you just decided to put it in your room for now until you could find space for it. you made sure to face it away from the bed, however. you aren't sure why, but it felt as if the man in the painting were watching you.
— that feeling never really went away, even after the days went by. whenever you would walk by the painting, it felt as if eyes were on you. and you couldn't help but notice little details in the portrait were changing.
— the flower he held was no longer wilted. he didn't look sad anymore. the blooming flowers surrounding him went from chrysanthemums to red roses. it was hard to believe, and you couldn't help but wonder if you were going crazy. maybe the painting was just dirty and you were mistaking the details?
— the painting did look a little dirty, so after doing some research, you bought the supplies you needed to clean it and got straight to it when you had the time to spare. you removed it from its frame and laid it out on the dining table since that was the only flat surface you had that was big enough.
— you were deeply focused, playing music to fill the silence and humming along to whatever song played, tending to the painting as if you had painted it yourself. and you were so caught up in cleaning the painting that you didn't notice that you were being watched. you didn't notice the way the man's eyes followed your every move or the way his lips twitched in a barely concealed smile.
— you did, however, notice some writing at the very bottom right corner of the painting. "aurin, by xxx." so that must be the man's name then, huh? taking one glance at him, it felt fitting.
— once you had finished cleaning the dirt and dust off the painting—aurin, as you now know him as—you put him back in his frame and find a nice spot in the living room to hang him up. he was definitely out of place with the rest of your décor, but you didn't really mind. he added a strange feeling of... life.
— the feeling of being watched never went away, however. even at night, when you were tucked comfortably in bed, you would wake up in the middle of the night feeling as if someone else were in the room with you. it was beginning to make you feel paranoid. maybe the house was haunted?
— not only that, little things would be different whenever you came home from work or an outing. the place would be cleaner, the fridge would be neatly sorted, your clothes would be neatly tucked away in your closet... this was a very clean and friendly ghost if you're house really was haunted. and you really hope it was. you don't want to think of the alternative.
— but it was still weird, and you were starting to lose sleep because of it, hoping to see if you could catch whoever or whatever was doing this. at some point, you called a friend to come over to spend a few nights with you. you felt like you were going crazy, and you needed someone there to keep you grounded.
Tumblr media
And your friend did! They came over, promising to stay for the week to help you keep your mind off the weird shit happening in your house. The weird feeling of being watched was still there, but nothing was ever moved out of place anymore.
Tonight was the last night that they'd be staying over, and the two of you decided to make a little party out of it. You both went out and got some drinks and a bunch of snacks and you guys just sat down and watched some shitty movies.
You guys weren't drinking alcohol, but the jokey mood the two of you had going on certainly made it feel as if you were tipsy, collapsing into a fit of giggles at one of their lame jokes as you leaned against them.
The time spent with them this week was fun, tonight being the best of all, but eventually, the two of you had to go to bed. The two of you shared a hug before you left them to go to your bedroom. You went to bed that night with a smile on your face, feeling relaxed for the first time in a while.
...
You startled awake. It was dark outside, and the clock read 4am. A loud noise had woken you up, a thud that sounded like someone, or something, falling. You weren't immediately concerned, thinking that your friend might've fallen off the couch while sleeping.
You should probably check on them to make sure they aren't hurt. With a tired sigh, you climb out of bed and make your way to the living room, stumbling a bit in the dark as you rub some sleep from your eyes.
Your hand roams against the wall for a moment before finding the light switch and flicking it, opening your mouth to speak but your words get stuck in your throat.
As soon as the light fills the room, your stomach drops.
You had been expecting to see your friend on the floor, probably still sleeping, but...
You weren't expecting to see someone on top of them, some sort of blade in hand, stabbing into their neck multiple times. You just stood there, frozen as you watched the mystery man stab your friend. They were already dead, not moving, eyes staring up into nothingness. You had only spoken to them just mere hours ago, and now they're on your living room floor, covered in their own blood as the man continues to stab them.
He seemed so caught up in the act that he hadn't even noticed the lights were on, or that you were watching. You should run. You should get as far away from here as possible, but it's like you were frozen in place. Your legs felt weak, and they gave out on you before you could even try running.
You fall to the ground, hands shaking, tears running down your face, bile stuck in your throat as you force yourself to not vomit.
The squelching sound of stabbing stops, and the man turns his attention to you. It was Aurin. Aurin, the man from that damn painting. Your gaze snapped over to said painting, thinking that you must be going insane, but no.
The painting was vacant. The man inside of it was gone. What the fuck.
His expression was vacant, and you stared at him like a deer in headlights, wondering if you were going to be killed next. Ha... killed by a weird supernatural entity that shouldn't even exist... maybe you are going crazy. Maybe this is all just one really bad nightmare.
You'll wake up any second now and see your friend's smiling face as they drag you out of bed so you can help them pack their stuff. You'll wake up, and he'll be back in his painting again. Everything will be normal. This isn't real.
It's not real. It can't be. This is just some fucked up—
Cold hands cup your face, and the feeling of blood smearing on your cheeks is enough to snap you out of your thoughts. You hadn't even noticed when he approached you, or when he crouched down to your level.
The vacant expression was gone, replaced with a quiet, guilty one.
"I apologize, my love," He speaks, his voice sending a shiver down your spine, "You weren't supposed to see such a..." He trails off, a brief look of annoyance crossing his features as if remembering something he disliked, "Mess."
You were too stunned, too scared, to sick to speak. You just stared.
Aurin sighed, looking genuinely ashamed of himself, "I hope this doesn't make you think any less of me, my darling rose. I just couldn't... I couldn't stand the way they were looking at you. The way they were touching you. The advances they were making on you made me feel so angry," His nails dug into your cheeks as he spoke, and you wince slightly at the feeling. He took notice immediately, easing his grip on you as an apologetic smile appeared on his face, "I suppose I lost myself for a moment when taking care of them."
You struggled to process his words. He... he killed your friend because he thought they were making a move on you? Because of jealousy? That just... what the fuck...
"You..." Your voice cracks a bit as you speak, a wave of nausea hitting you as the taste of the blood in the air coats the inside of your mouth.
"Shhh..." He gently shushes you, running a hand over your hair. You cringe knowing there was blood sticking to the strands now, "Don't say anything, darling. I'm sure this is all a very big shock to you, but it'll be okay. I'll take care of you, the way you took care of me."
Your confusion only grew when he gently helped you off the ground, his grip on your arm was tight enough to keep you from running away but gentle enough that it didn't hurt, "But I haven't..." You trail off, going to deny his claims of you taking care of him, only to remember that you technically have.
He merely smiles, "But you have. I was so alone, up in that dusty attic. And then you came along, and you showed me a love that I hadn't experienced in decades. You took care of me. It's only natural that I take care of you in return, isn't it? That's what lovers do, after all."
"Lovers?!"
Aurin paid no mind to your shock, seemingly not even registering how odd and deranged this situation was, acting as if he hadn't just murdered your best friend in a fit of supposed jealous rage.
"I wasn't going to take you home so soon, trust me. I was content with helping you out around the house and making everything easier for you but..." He trails off, gaze wandering away from you to stare at the corpse on the ground, "Things happen. I don't think I can leave you to your devices here anymore. Someone may try to steal you away from me again, and I would hate for you to see another mess like this."
What the hell is he talking about?
You opened your mouth to argue with him, but you couldn't get a single syllable out before he was speaking again.
"Don't worry, it'll be a harmless trip. You'll just feel tired, but you can lean on me for support! Trust me, my love, you'll adore your new home." He says, excitement lacing his words.
It was a little scary, how you instantly began to feel tired after he finished talking. You're not sure if it was his doing, somehow, or if your body just couldn't handle the situation anymore and wanted you to sleep in hopes that everything would be better once you woke up.
Your eyes closed against your will, and you could faintly make out Aurin's soft humming as he held you close against him. You were too tired to fight against him, almost as if some sort of pressure were weighing you down.
Maybe everything will be better when you wake up...
A few months later, a couple had moved into a new home. The price had been on the cheaper side due to a fairly gruesome unsolved murder and kidnapping that took place there. They were determined to make a home out of it, even with its dark history.
"Honey, doesn't this painting feel a little off to you?" One of them asks, staring up at a painting that was hanging on a wall in the living room.
The other shrugs, moving boxes around and momentarily pausing to glance at the painting, "Just looks like a painting to me. Take it down if it makes you uncomfortable."
"Hm..."
They stare up at it, arms crossed as they take in the details. Two people were dancing together in a field of red roses. There was nothing wrong with that, it was rather romantic, to be honest. The man in the painting was normal as well, eyes closed with a serene smile on his face as he held his partner close. He looked as if he were in love, in all honesty. The part that unsettled them was the distraught look on the face of the man's dance partner, as well as the chains that tied their wrists to his, roses weaved into the chains as if to try and hide them.
It was a breathtaking painting, sure, but...
"Let's just put it up in the attic, that way we won't have to see it."

kiss and tell 🎀
könig x reader fluffy drabble <3
warnings: none, unless embarrassment counts
it’s a tiny bit sad in the middle but then we get silly again :)
horangi makes an appearance too!
word count: ~1,400
turns out your husband, könig, isn’t that good at keeping you a secret…
you used to be a night owl, until you met könig. he kinda got you used to his soldier sleep schedule (up at 5 am, in bed by 10pm, when he wasn’t out in the field and forced to go days without sleeping). you were cursing your well adjusted sleep habits now, though, tugging your blanket around your shoulders as you see könig off at the door. it’s near 12 am, your neighborhood is quiet and still, but könig is as alert as ever.
you’d been out having a drawn out, romantic dinner when he’d been called on, but it was an urgent matter, so you two immediately went home so he could shower and pack. he always gets all focused and serious in times like these. he’s going on about the usual safety reminders-
“lock the door at all times, liebes” “don’t go out too late. invite your friends here instead.” “turn your scented candles off before you leave… on second thought, maybe just don’t use them at all? you’re a little forgetful sometimes”
-and you just smile sleepily at him, watching him adjust his bulletproof vest. of course to fully get into könig mindset, he’d gear up before leaving. your neighbors always turned in early, so he wasn’t worried about them seeing some scary soldier exiting your house, leaving them to wonder if that guy was friends with your tall as a tree, yet gentle husband. you’d already changed out of your favorite (and könig’s too) red dress, but you still hadn’t removed your makeup, opting to fuss over könig’s packing instead.
just as he taught you about bettering your sleep cycle, you taught him of accepting commodities and being cared for. now his pack has his usual stuff, plus on the go hygiene products, non perishable snacks (he has a weakness for these dark chocolate granola bars), and little mementos that are his guiding light through these trying missions. <3
now, huddled together at the doorway, you can’t help but tug him down by his vest for a kiss, pressing your lips over his through his mask. he makes a little noise of surprise, having been cut off mid safety rant, but he instead lifts his mask to kiss you “i’ll always come back to you, even if i have to crawl” (never “bye”) properly. the space between you warms as you kiss each other with all the love you have, damn near creating your own dimension where just the two of you exist. you know it only makes it harder for him to leave though, so you act as the rock, gently pulling back before wiping your lipgloss from his lips. “you’re gonna be late, love”, you whisper, discretely blinking away a tear when he glances at the clock on the entry table. “right as ever, königin”, he smiles as he straightens his mask picking up his duffel and helmet in one hand.
“redo of our date night?”, he asks, turning the door knob with his free hand and stepping over the threshold. you cross your arms over your chest, tugging your makeshift robe closed as the night chill from the open door sweeps in. “next weekend”, you declare confidently, full faith in your husband, secure in the knowledge that he’ll always make it back to you. the rest of his departure goes by in a blur, from the kiss he blows you before climbing in his car, to you locking the door after waving til his car turned the corner. a successful send off, you sigh as you head to shower and do your skincare before passing out for the night.
unfortunately, there was one little detail you both forgot…
könig strides into the base, heading straight to his office to grab some files needed for the mission briefing. he’d meant to get those documents signed and sent up the next rung of the kortac ladder, but no one had anticipated the turn of events that kickstarted this urgent mission. other soldiers were coming and going through the halls, some glancing (no one dared stare) at him in awe… or fear. either worked, in his opinion. könig couldn’t help but let it stroke his ego. he remembered how it felt to be a fresh faced rookie, only hoping to someday become one of the higher ups. he chuckled quietly to himself, even slowing his purposeful pace a little to give the newbies a nice colonel könig sighting.
when you got it, you got it, no?
he sauntered to his office, noting horangi was waiting outside his door. he also noted the way his friend’s eyebrows shot up in surprise as he took in his appearance. könig returned horangi’s strange look with a confused look himself. he’d checked he got everything right before leaving your house. his vest, the gear strapped to his vest, his mask, he even made sure to put his helmet on before entering the base… so why was horangi staring at him like he’d sprouted wings?
“you old dog!”, horangi gave könig an easy push on his shoulder. “you got a girl and you didn’t tell me?”
what???
könig had done all he could to keep you safe and untarnished by his work… obviously you knew what he did, but he’d never delve into details, and he sure as hell didn’t tell anyone at work about you. what purpose would they have knowing? he didn’t need them trying to cajole you into coming to stay here just to have könig be available on base full time! his engel didn’t have to step a single foot in this place. how on earth did horangi find out?
kortac did have their own…creative…ways to find out information, and it would be much easier looking into one of your own compared to an enemy. könig was racking his brain for any instance where he might have noticed surveillance being run on him, or any of his non agency issued electronics acting odd from possible hacking. the mailman had been acting a little shifty… (no, he hadn’t) and his personal phone had been displaying that odd pop up every time he opened his photos app! (again, false alarm. it was a “storage full notice”. he’d filled up his storage with pictures of you and your adventures together.)
horangi, meanwhile, crossed his arms, thinking könig was trying to think up a convincing lie against the obvious evidence.
aha! what if horangi was just making a wild guess, trying to catch könig off guard? könig wasn’t a fool. he’d been in the business long enough to not fall for such a elementary level interrogation technique. he just had to keep his cool. horangi definitely had nothing on him. könig allowed himself a casual, light scoff before setting his duffel on the floor and facing his office door, wanting horangi’s weak interrogation over with already. “where is this coming from? now’s not the time for jokes”, he huffed dismissively.
“you can’t be serious. you must have a girl…unless you’re going for a ‘confuse the enemy’ method now?”
okay, now könig was annoyed, which is saying a lot, because horangi was the one colleague he most liked. “cut to the chase, kim” könig fished his keys out from his duffel, flicking through them to find the one to his office
“könig, there’s a glittery lip print on your mask… right where your mouth would be”
shit
the only sound in the hall was könig’s keys clinking as he dropped them in shock.
how could he forget you’d kissed him through his mask, while you were still wearing your cursed (it was actually quite lovely, it tastes like strawberries to könig, he’s just mortified right now) shimmering lipgloss?
that’s why all the soldiers he passed in the hall looked at him funny. it wasn’t awe, it was confusion! basically all of kortac witnessed him making a fool of himself! of course könig is losing his mind, horangi’s cackling laugh serving as the background music, but rest assured, könig’s reputation is safe. those five (5, fünf, cinco) soldiers he passed didn’t get a long enough look as to notice the glittering spot on his mask. only horangi was brave enough-and dare i say lucky enough- to actually look at the revered and feared colonel. könig’s thanking all the forces of the universe when he remembers he always packs backup masks.
for what’s it’s worth, your husband sure learned his lesson. that’s how the only restriction regarding your kisses came to be
new rule: no kissing over the mask
. . . . . . . . . . . .
sorry, i just love making könig be silly 🫶🏼

Jack champion x fem reader and he plays spiderman and reader is mj?
I'm going to make this into some headcanons
hope you enjoy <3
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Being Ethan's mj headcanons
did not proofread |m.list
update : I just now realized that after posting this what you were asking I will 10000% rewrite this as its supposed to be!! I'm so sorry I hope this is okay for the time being! idk why it took so long for my brain to realize what you were actually asking for :(((((
Happy New Year babes!!!! I hope you all had a great new year's and were safe! I'm so excited for this new year and to grow my account. I am going back to school next week, so the requests are going to come out slowly, but I am writing them. I will try to post once or twice a week but I no promises <;3 I love you all so much and thank you so much for your support it really means so much to me.
Tumblr media
You didn't know who Ethan was before your junior year in high school. both of you got paired up for a science project and ended up hitting it off and became close friends.
Chad would try to get Ethan to ask you out, he would be sad for weeks after you both finished the project, unable to see each other after classes had changed.
After a fight with some jock, you saw him hanging outside trying to clean up the cuts on his face, you would end up helping him and get to talking.
"Listen Ethan I actually wanted to ask you if you wanted to go out sometime." he would just stare at you in disbelieve, he'd be smiling so much the cut on his cheekbone started to bleed again.
From there on it was official you were in a relationship with him, he would always meet you up after school take the long way home just so he could be with you longer.
After a few months there was a change in how he was acting, you also noticed something different about him but couldn't put your hand on it.
This weekend it was longer due to some holiday and you, and Ethan had planned to spend the entire weekend together watching Star Wars and building Legos, but Ethan's mind had been so wrapped up in his new actives that he forgot.
Crawling through his window he heard his aunt talking, but he also heard another voice, and it was yours. His heart beating faster, just hearing your voice has that effect on him.
But thinking about your voice distracted him from realizing you were walking to his room, once he saw the door handle move panic set in.
Quickly he fell from the ceiling and grabbed a blanket but tripped himself in the process. "Ethan? when did you get home?" and before you both knew it you were holding the blanket while he shot up holding a hand to your month to stop you from yelling.
"Please, don't say anything! My aunt doesn't know yet you can't tell anyone!" his voice was harsh yet soft and scared. He was scared with how you were going to act.
"You're fucking spiderman! Holy shit! Holy Shit" you dropped the blanket and jumped into his arms. he stood there for a second confused, he eventually gave in wrapping his arms around you. feeling the warmth of your body against his. He felt safe with you.
"You have to tell me everything! and oh my god I have so many questions! but also you idiot!" you slapped him aside the head laughing but also giggling at the fact that your boyfriend is spiderman.
From there on you would help him fix his suit if he ever needed it or cover for him if a lie came back to haunt him.
Some nights he'd come to your window sharing all the details about some sandwich robbery he stopped.
There would be times where it's hard to be with Ethan, you sometimes thought he loved being spiderman than being with you. His actions spoke more than words could at times.
Bailing on date nights, sometimes right in the middle of your date. You love him and love seeing how much joy he gets out of helping others, but it also takes a toll on your relationship.
After an argument about how you felt he bailed out on you not wanting to say something he'd regret.
Things just got harder from there, you both agreed that you'd be better off apart, but you both lied to yourself.
Ethan thought it was better only to keep you safe from the criminals, and you thought it was all stupid. Knowing spiderman is who he is but he's also Ethan Landry the love of your life.
Soon things would take a turn for the worst as one of his enemies found out your importance to spiderman. Kidnapping you and using you as a pawn to trap him.
Ethan's heart would break seeing you in so much pain, even after trying to leave you to keep you save it did nothing. there you sat in front of him after he fought the villain. He didn't know what to do.
Both of you scrapped and bloodily up all you want to do is be in his arms. And just like before he stood shocked for a moment feeling your body against his.
It felt so right, wrapping his arms around your body he held you tight, tighter than he ever has. "I'm so sorry y/n please I'm so sorry i love you" he tucked his head into your neck, the faint smell of your perfume filled his nose.
"Don't ever leave me ever again! I'm being serious" you hugged him as tight as he did to you. "And I love you too."

Hi ^^
Could I request some headcanons with Omen, Yoru, Cypher [separate] that comfort crying reader?
Thanks <3
Omen, Yoru, Cypher comforting a crying reader
Warnings: short mentions of injuries and violence | Reader is GN
Tumblr media
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ˙·٠•●♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥●•٠
❝Omen:
At first you didn't even know he was there, in the shadows, watching you cry
It was when you felt a heavy blanket being gently placed around your shoulders that you realized you weren't alone.
He doesn't say much, but you know he's worried. The way his form shakes more than usual, he is very worried about you
Omen won't pressure you to tell what happened, but he would be happy to know.
If someone said something mean to you, he'll pretend he forgot for a while and one day, that person just disappears without leaving any trace of what happened.
If you accidentally hurt yourself, he will constantly remind you to pay more attention after that.
For now, he'll stay by your side if you want company. Literally by your side or hugging you if you prefer.
His cat will also join the two of you as well, just enjoying each other's presence.
He won't force you to be happy and go around doing things like nothing happened, sometimes people just want to be quiet and reflect a bit; but if you want to go somewhere, like go shopping, he'll make the effort to accompany you
It's a little funny to see this faceless figure, almost 2 meters tall, following you around the stores in a mall like a puppy, people are horrified
When you finally smiles again, you can hear a gentle "Hmmm.."
❝Yoru:
When he walked into the room and saw you crying, he froze
Fuck
What happened? You better tell him
He just doesn't know what to do to help you feel better.
Don't get me wrong, he cares about your feelings and loves you so much, but it's hard to translate that into words and actions.
Awkward pats on your head and rubbing his hands on your back, hoping it will comfort you in some way.
If someone said something mean to you..they’re going to regret that very badly later. Yoru it’s going to take care of that
If you hurt yourself, like bumping into the furniture or cutting your finger, please, be more careful, he gets worried
If you’re stressed about life n stuff, he can’t do a lot, but he will be there for you.
He might not be the best expressing his love and admiration, but he's amazing at listening, paying attention to every detail you talk about, and more often than not, being a strong pillar to help you stay confident
“Don't listen to that バカ*, you are amazing just the way you are.”
That’s the best you can get of him verbally, but he’s so sweet though
He takes you for a ride on his motorcycle all over the city. This helps him clear his mind when he's stressed, it should help you too.
He will not give up until your mood is better
*バカ - idiot
❝Cypher:
“Oh no, sweetheart! What happened?”
So sweet and soft with you
He is by your side in a second, already drying your tears with a tissue
Cypher loves you, that's why he subtly convinces you to tell him what happened, without lies or excuses.
If someone said something that made you sad. Oh..they're going to have ALL their information leaked for everyone to see and use.
If you end up accidentally hurting yourself, he'll give you a pretty big lecture about how you should take care of yourself and pay more attention to the things around you.
Anyway, his whole schedule is off for the rest of the day just to be with you.
Will make two cups of his most expensive tea just for you to share
Want to watch a movie? Say the name, in a few minutes he will have a copy on his computer.
Want to go online shopping? How convenient! The stores you love are suddenly on sale.
If you just want to be close without doing too much, yeah, he can do that too, anything that makes you happy.
Amir is an experienced man, he has been through a lot in his life, if you need any advice, about anything, he will try to help you as best he can.
when I said a lot, it's a lot. He's been through some pretty dark times in his life, he'll do everything he can to not see you the same way he did
ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤ ㅤ˙·٠•●♥ Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ ♥●•٠
@ Do not copy any of my works, translate and/or post it on others websites.

Hiding your phantometal/trap reactions
Kanata
• Your phantometal was a bracelet that you used to take off every time you got home
• But after one busy day, you forgot to take it off, and by the time you remembered, it was already too late
• Due to the nature of his old job Kanata has seen plenty of phantometals in all shapes and forms, it didn't take him more than one quick glance to recognize the object wrapped around your wrist
• "What's that?" You expected anger, but by the tone of his voice you could sense that some part of him was actually hurting
• Even though Kanata really struggles with trusting others, and small inconveniences can waver the trust he has to offer, he wasn't upset at the fact that you possessed a phantometal. Instead, he was worried that you hid it from him. What if he failed to protect you too? He has seen the consequences of phantometals with his own two eyes, he has already lost everything that was dear to him once thanks to them, he can't afford to lose you too. He's upset because he can't even have the chance to protect you if you don't tell him anything about it in the first place.
• Seeing his reaction was enough to make you make up your mind. You don't want to make him worry so you decided to not hide these kind of things from him again
Nayuta
• He found your phantometal by accident while doing housework
• It was a long silver necklace, too cold to the touch
• Just like his brother, Nayuta had the opportunity to be in contact with lots of phantometals before. He could tell what was in his hand even with his eyes closed
• He didn't know why you haven't told him anything about it yet, but he had been in the same exact situation before and understood that you might have your own reasons to keep it hidden
• Still, as your partner, he wants to be able to communicate properly with you. He knows better than anyone else how messy things can get when important things stay hidden
• He wasn't mad but after thinking for a while he decided to confront you about it next time he sees you. He would appreciate if you talked to him about it, if there's a complicated reson behind the fact that you decided to keep it a secret he will encourage you to work it out together
Hajun
• You were good at hiding your trap reactions but you weren't as careful with the remnants of it
• Sometimes you would come back home with an evident lingering uneasiness
• And details like that couldn't escape Hajun's sharp eyes
• Having suffered himself some of the worst consequences of the phantometal, he could tell apart the symptoms of a trap reaction from an usual panic attack
• Once he started to suspect you might be dealing with trap reactions he pulled some strings from behind to confirm that you were participating in small-scale battles with your metal
• He decided to keep that information to himself and bring it up only if it's necessary He would rather wait to see if he can hear it coming from yourself even if he already knows the truth
Anne
• Anne found about your phantometal due to bad timing. Your trap reaction started way earlier than usual and it didn't give you enough time to go back home, unfortunately you were still hanging out with your partner when it abruptly started
• Anne got extremely worried at your sudden distress but when they tried to hold your hands to comfort you, they noticed a small silver ring with an intricate pattern that you've never worn in front of them before
• In that instant, Anne managed to put the pieces together
• First it was surprise and then a bit of sadness mixed with it. They never thought you were dealing with trap reactions. Anne understood it probably was a hard topic for you to talk about and they didn't want to be too intrusive
• But they still decided to have that conversation later when your head feels clearer, for you to know you could rely on them and for them to know how to comfort you
• Right now, they kept their thoughts about the topic to themselves and held your hands gently, waiting for the trap reaction to wear off so they could take you home and take care of you while you recover

let me know if you wanna be added to the tag list or if you wanna ramble in my inbox about this with me! <3
Tumblr media
You had worked at the palace of the kingdom Pagrarus for as long as you could remember. You knew every nook and cranny—every secret passage and hidden room in that palace. It was practically your home. You took care of it, making sure that it was clean and pretty every day. Your childhood wish was to work for the royal family, just like your parents did. Your family had served the royal family as maids and whatnot for generations, so it only made sense that you grew up around them, and subsequently, their child.
Steve Harrington.
You don’t regret it. Working for royalty.
In fact, if anything, you’re grateful. Because if not for your position now, how could have you crossed paths with a soul like him?
You still remember the day you met him. Clear as day.
Such a sweet sweet day it was. The memory is still fresh in your mind, like the scent of your childhood room. A scent you never quite forgot. It faded over time, sure. But if you strained your memory even now, you can still smell it. The scent of comfort.
Decidedly, there have been many days in your life. Some happy, some sad. Some you remember better than others while others fade away into the back of your mind. Some are ingrained so deep in your mind that when you close your eyes, you can see every detail as if it’s currently happening. None, however, do you remember more clearly than the day you met Steve. It had been almost two decades ago; when you were five, and he was six.
You remember being nervous - your parents had brought you along to the castle, to introduce you to the royal family - you used to be a very lonely child, not being able to make friends easily. You were in awe as you walked through the luxurious castle with wide eyes, seeing it for the first time, it was truly a beautiful place.
As a reward for your family’s many generations of loyalty, they got the honour of working directly for the royal family. Your parents were close to the royal family despite that they were working for them. When you were very young, your mother was a personal attendant to the young prince.
It had all been incredibly overwhelming back then, and you’d only hidden further behind your mother’s legs. Until - you’d spotted a boy, looking just as lonely and nervous as you, also behind his mothers legs. The prince.
A fond smile curls on your face as you remember Steve’s little frame. With cute round cheeks, curious brown eyes, long brown hair, dressed in fine fabrics that were only made for royal people. He had sparked your curiosity, his intriguing eyes looking at you as if he longed for your friendship already.
Your parents pushed you into his direction, you’d approached him hesitantly. Immediately, he’d give you the brightest smile once you were in front of him. And that one action - that one smile - had sealed it between the two of you. Ever since then, Steve has been your best friend. He’d stick out his hand for you to take and would tug you along with him down the hall, showing you around the palace as you both giggled.
Nostalgia cascades through you as you continue mulling over your relationship with prince Steve. You’ve lived twenty-five years, and throughout the vast majority of it - he has been your only constant.
And for as long as you could remember, you’ve had an intense and hopeless crush on the prince, Steve Harrington.

Fic Finder
~*~
1. Hello! I’m hoping to find a specific fic, which is narrated from the POV of a mail delivery person from a small sect. They observed how Lan Wangji came to mail a letter every year to Wei Ying after his death, and came to see the melancholy and longing that Wangji had. They were not able to deliver the letters but they kept it. Eventually they didn’t see Wangji come to mail his letter on a particular year, but out of duty, the mail delivery person went to Cloud Recess to deliver the letters he kept. And there, he met Wangji and Wei Ying.
It’s a beautifully written fic that I read years ago, but for the life of me I can’t remember the name. I did a lot of searching on my bookmarks but can’t find it. I would really appreciate it if someone can point me to the right direction!

Thank you!

Every time he goes to Lan house he will go somewhere different from what he is looking for. Like he is supposed to go to a restroom but ended up in a kitchen. Lan Qiren then said to LWJ that his boyfriend might be a thief because he is always found somewhere he did not say he will go. Then when lqr visited lwj and wwx's house, he found out that wwx got lost even to his own house. Like he cannot even find the mug and lwj has to say where it is. Lwj then said to lqr that it is because wwx got into an accident when he was a child, the same day he lost his parents. That is the reason for his terrible memory and eye sight. After that, lqr became soft to wwx. And every time Wangxian visited the Lan house. He will help wwx find what he is looking for.
Thank youuu @yunshenlianhua

Adding more to the Rook being Robin Hood Theory/ Rare Beastmen Theory:
Hello folks. Me at it again with another theory, but this time about Rook. Now if you don't know there has been a theory about Rook being Robin Hood for years. Thing is I have my own take on the theory and I want to share it. Sad to say I can't find the original poster for the "Rook is Robin Hood theory" But if you can please tell me so I can credit the OP. But I do want to share this theory someone else did on twitter about Rook being a beastmen as well by in a different point of view. Here is the link: https://twitter.com/MoonlightEquin1/status/1625355871999098880 I also want to add the theory that me and my friend @dgttwisted had about a rare beastmen birth that could happen. I promise it's not gross. Just a theory that could connect to Rook, but first I am going to cover the Robin Hood Rook theory. As well as cover one thing that people forget about Robin Hood that could connect to Rook more. With that out the way let's go to the theory. Also Spoilers to the Robin Hood movie and Twisted wonderland so warning when reading.
Tumblr media
For those who don't know there is a theory that Rook might be a twst version of Robin Hood. To recap I want to abridge what the theory points out, and even bring up what others over looks for how similar Rook and Robin are. Sadly I can't find the original post of the theory so if I forgot something or if I point out something that was addressed to it in things I noticed, then I apologize for that mistake. What has been said by others of the theory:
Tumblr media
1.) Rook Hunt and Robin Hood have the same initials. (R.H) 2.) Both are good archers or known to be archers. 3.) Rook's unique magic is "I see you" Which is him being able to locate anyone in Twisted wonderland with a arrow. Which could connect to Robin Hood's skill to always lock onto a target. 4.) Rook has a great sense of smell, has good eyesight, and amazing hearing which are almost super human in a way. Which also translates to his archery and hunter theme. Because of these things people think Rook might be related to fox Beastmen in some way.
Tumblr media
5.) Both Rook and Robin like to tease a lion who are not king. 6.)Rook has 5 siblings meaning his parents have 6 kids. Same number of kids Robin told Marian he wanted to have with her. 7.) Robin told Marian that he wanted to travel the world with her. Rook mentions that his family own villas all over the world. As well his family loved to travel. 8.) Both have feathers on there hats. Things that people over look with the both of them:
Tumblr media
Finally! Time to flex about this. The reason I know of these things is because I found out from my mom, that this was the movie I watched a lot as a lil kid, and re watching it again I noticed more details about Rook and Robin. Which I do want to go into detail with. Now on with the facts 1.) Both Rook and Robin praises those to make things happen. With Rook he praised everyone's talents and even how to work on there weaknesses in chapter 5. Not only that but Rook convinced Vil to let Deuce and Ace into the group, cause if he didn't then Ace and Deuce would have not been in that battle with Vil's OB. As well as Rook helping Epel out with Vil in Epel's Ceremonial Robe SR card. Robin on the other hand has used his words to find out things or to let people drop there guard. In points of the movie you can see this with Robin praising sheriff of Nottingham and the sheriff smiling over his praises from the start of him disguising as a Romani woman (I am not saying the G slur!) to him disguising as a bird to shake the sheriff's hand, and when he was a guard to help him sleep to get the keys to make the jail brake happen. 2.) Speaking of them praising others did you know that Robin hood can go on and on with praises to get what he wants to the point of talking forever unless someone stops him? It could be due to the fact that foxes are very vocal animals. If you don't believe me on that then look it up for yourself. And we know that Rook is very vocal as a person as well. With us finding out in chapter 6 that him and Vil talked for hours in winter to the point that both got sick the next day.
Tumblr media
3.) So as you know Robin likes to mess with the king in the movie or just seems to know where he is at in the movie? Did you also know he likes to mess with and know where sheriff of Nottingham as well? A man who is doing what he is told and even a debt collector collecting taxes from the town's folk. Hey guess what. You know who Rook likes to mess with or know where they are at all points? Both Leona and the leech twins. And you know what the leech twins do? They help collect debts for Azul as well as the sheriff of Nottingham having yellow eyes like the twins who have a yellow eye due to there heterochromia didn't escape me. 4.) Did you know that Maid Marian and Snow white have something in common? A well known fact is that in the making of Robin Hood they had to cut corners due to having low funds with making the movie. So in Robin Hood there is a scene where Maid Marian's dance is rotoscoped from the scene of Snow White dancing with Dopey as well as a earlier scene of when Maid Marian clapping mirroring before Snow white starts to dance with her clapping as well. Which means that Rook being a fan of Neige might have a double meaning form this. 5.) Rook and Robin's eyes go smaller when they are shocked. I know others in the game do this as well, but look at them! Same vibe. 6.) Both are sneaky or always plotting. Robin plotting to be with Maiden Mary, giving King John a hard time, and helping out the townsfolk. Rook wanting to be around Vil, helping others out, or wanting to find out others weaknesses, and only using his UM to track people when he can't do it in normal means. Rook is a rare beastmen birth theory:
Tumblr media
Now that I am done with those facts I want to talk about the Rook is a beastmen theory. This theory was made thanks to the help of @dgttwisted who really opened my eyes to this what if and me adding to it with my knowledge of basic fox facts. So remembering me pointing out how Rook Hunt is Robin Hood with that recap and other things people over look? Well I think it's not that Rook is Robin Hood, but what if Rook's dad is Robin Hood based? I mean hear me out here. As much as kids don't want to admit it, but we get traits or pick up things form our parents. For me I get a lot of traits of my father. I move my leg to help me sleep, We have this small birth mole like thing on the side of our eye, and we both don't talk a lot and just enjoy vibes. So I was wondering if that same applied to Rook? What if Rook got to be so good at hunting and archery due to his dad? So that begs the question about his mother. Well I was thinking he got her passion? I am not saying Robin Hood wouldn't be passionate. I mean dear god they have six kids together. That's a lot to handle Especially if you know that Maiden Mary wanted a dozen kids, which is 12 kids at least when she was talking to Robin Hood about kids in the movie! Not only that but when Rook mentions that his family travels that means his parents traveled a lot with them. Which was something Robin and Mary wanted to do for there honey moon. So as you can see I am of the camp of this being the case with these facts in mind. Back on topic since they are fox beastmen or maybe one of them is a fox beastmen and the other is human (I have seen some people do fan art of it as of late). One of which I think the mother being a fox beastwoman while the dad is human, cause fun fact Maiden Mary design was reused to make Vixey from the Fox and the hound. But I can't deny that people believe that Robin Hood might have been reused to make Nick from Zootopia. (Sorry I couldn't find if Robin Hood was reused to make Nick, but did find the theory of Robin and Nick might being related.) Back to Rook. I think nearly all there kid's have fox physical characteristics. All but Rook. Think about it. Here is what the wiki says about this traits: Rook has very good eyesight, being able to tell what book Epel was reading from afar, He has a good sense of smell, and yet again he is good at hunting. So what if he has the inherent animal traits then the physical traits? Meaning he has things a fox beastmen has, but no tail or ears? Also know I need to address this as well, but what if that's why he was in Savanaclaw? I know others can go to Savanaclaw. It's not just full of beastmen, and other beastmen are in other dorms, but in early game that was the case until Yana (The creator/writer) pretty much changed it that anyone can join savanaclaw. Which I am thankful for. Which makes me wonder if Ruggie and Leona now that Rook is half beastmen or a 100 percent fox beastman, but kept that to themselves or maybe they don't know? If so if it's reviled that he is a beastmen with a rare birth, then I want it for when Rook just invites some of the cast to meet his family for a event, and his little siblings are running around him with fox ears and tail. And he is like, Rook: "Oh sorry. Guess the cat is out of the bag. But I am a fox beastmen. A rare one at that. If you don't believe me then ask my parents. Also look at my siblings! We are so alike that you can tell we came from the same parents." You have no idea how badly I want this! if me and my friend's theory is true.
Tumblr media
And that's it for the theory and facts about Rook. Did you like it? Hate it? Or was I just plan wrong about something or forgot another thing about Rook and Robin I over looked? Either way I would like to hear any and all options on this and I hope you are all having a lovely day. Edit: So more bonus stuff. For one of the merch they are selling we are shown stuff for each of the dorm students and will you look at that. Rook's is a GREEN ARROW! If that's not on the nose with him being connected to Robin Hood then I don't know what is, but nope there is one more.
Tumblr media
Got this on twitter btw from a post replied to by YuuRei20 by a different person covering up the theory as well. This proves that Rook pretty much has a final smoking gun to being or is connected to Robin Hood in some way.
Tumblr media
Done talking about it now until Yana says if he is a beastmen, half one, decented, a rare beastmen birth, is connected to Robin Hood or is just a normal human with Light Magic plot armor. Hope you enjoyed the post so far. Bye bye for now.

I still not over it.
So some observations of S01E03.
The episode starts with a scene from adult Len and old Lewis. I confess that I had forgot that if they were in the past Lewis should be young and thought he would be like that in the episode.
Tumblr media
It's the first minute of the episode and I'm already sold.
Tumblr media
Who doesn't love Len being a smartass?
Tumblr media
You're charming love.
Tumblr media
Look I understated people who buys "Mick is only muscle force and no brain" propaganda, but listen... He didn't said nothing wrong here, you can argue he was unsympathetic, but he really don't knows/cares about them.
Then there is this scene.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Look the only one explanation I accept is these two gremlins were listening and waited until the worst moment to chime in.
Worst? You can say. Yes the worst, since neither of them had intention to be included. They were left at the ship almost 90% of the time, so I'm sure they knew it wouldn't be different.
Tumblr media
Len, as always has a plan.
Tumblr media
Jax not being intimidated by these two supervillains gives me life. "Shoot me then!" And Mick as a good gremlin is happy to play the game. Do I think Mick would really shot? Maybe, I don't know. Because it's part of how they (Len and Mick) play this game, and as I said early, Mick really doesn't care.
Tumblr media
I'm really curious about who is the next Len's going to talk into robbery. My first option was Stein, but maybe Sara is more realistic. Look to this face, "I'm not asking," Sure Len. Sure.
Tumblr media
Mick receives an unexpected new information. It's obvious that Len didn't talk with him about it. I'm not sure of why, and is fun to speculate.
Tumblr media
New input is given. Hey, let's talk how Mick knows Len's childhood address. How it's so fast to Mick bring this information up. Here is when Mick stars to match the points.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
There, there is when Mick has the big picture. I need to point out this scene is short and Mick spend around 5 seconds to put it together.
Tumblr media
And even if Len is getting pissed, he still going. Mick is right.
Tumblr media
Oh I like it so much. Look to his face at the end. Even if Mick calls Len boss, this is a partnership. Mick knows Len, even the dark part, maybe even more the dark part. He isn't surprised, not anymore. Do you think that they did talk about "What if?" "What if Lewis never went to jail?" "What if I never lighted the fire that night?" Because I am doing this a lot.
Tumblr media
And I need to point out that Mick didn't forgot that messing with time can have consequences.
This scene, where Jax has lines too, is less tan 1 min. So no Mick isn't only muscles.
I need more time to process the smoll bean Len scene. That one broke my heart and I still not coherent enough to put words on it. So let's skip to the end of their mission (the mission being messing with Len's timeline).
Tumblr media
Look to him, trying cheer up Len. Maybe it's going to take a little more time.
I have a problem how at same time Mick and Len have a deep connection there are a lot of small details about how looks like Len is distant of Mick. Like, when Rip insults Mick intelligence, leaving Mick out of the loop 2 times (one when Len get the key, and then about what he is going to do with the gem)...
It's interesting to see the small fractures showing up, it's sad but they are already there.
My babies. <3

Gale Reviews: ML Season 5 episode 17 Adoration
(Spoilers as this episode is out before other ones)
-Andre bonding with the child Audrey the supposed love of his life had with another man.
-I pity that man, changed everything about himself for love… it’s actually kind of sad. Because it’s clear he fell for the wrong person.
-Zoe got someone she is in love with. I’d say it’s Marinette, because she has LITERALLY no other people she has seen interacting with. But I doubt it will appear since this is an international show. So my bet is they will imply it without saying it, plus, Zoe doesn’t show the photo she was gonna bury.
-oh so Zoe is in 8th grade while Marinette is in 9th grade. So at least that conforms Audrey cheated on Andre AFTER having Chloe, Damn
-so those two are the reps. Also. Marc is a year younger than them. Interesting
-oh the zoenette is strong in this one
-The storage of all the gifts she made for Adrien, which needs cleaning out. Guess Marinette chilled out about things. Good on her.
-huh… this is the first time we actually get a full on tour of her room. (We see it a lot, but never knew how she divided her stuff up. Neat.
-Oh the hidden adrien simp board is new. Love the touch. (I love the little sticky drawings)
Tumblr media
-That probably hurt Zoe more than she would let on.
-not gonna lie I know Andre isn’t his real name, but I get why he changed it. It’s a mouthful.
-the butlers name is Armand!?
-Zoe knows everyone in the hotel. Good. Glad that girl is respectful to the people that help run the place. (Zoe + 3 respect)
-And Chloe and Sabrina are there… what a shock (not really)
- Yea the show really just removed any and all character development they had for Chloe and squeezed it into Zoe. Points for Zoe standing up to Chloe.
-At least Audrey is still in character.
-Andre really be like (I prefer the daughter that was born from another man banging my wife than my own) points to the Simp mayor
-I take it back Anax as a nickname sounds kind of dope
-You ever just see a character on screen and hope a piano falls on him? Yes I’m talking about Gabriel that sterilized tampon
-now Nathalie here being the GOAT with only one line. Respect for Nathalie. Girl really gave up on her simp tendencies and decided to just be the mother Adrien needs
-Gabriel really be the worst. Looks like Lila gonna cook up something
-seems Zoe forgot about the photo is out. Which I bet will cause a misunderstanding with her hiding it.
-What exactly does Sabrina have morals in? Also side note, PUNCHING BAG?! Really?
-Yea, Chloe just be mustache twirling evil
-Vanisher is back and with Dog powers
-Lila literally plotted an akumatization.
-if I had a dollar for everytime Someone couldn’t tell Marinette they were in love with her. I’d have 2 nickles. Which isn’t a lot but weird it happened twice
-Marinette is pretty clever figuring out all the details… EXCEPT THE FACT THAT ITS HER!?
-Marinette shows she supports Love is Love.
-Op she thought it was a he, to bad Marinette you failed the game. Rip.
-wait did Marinette just condone polyamory? I might have read that wrong
-Marinette consulting Alya on the matter
-oh so that’s how Marinette gets the assumption it’s Adrien. To be fair, I’d have come to that conclusion at some point to.
-oh I can feel the awkward situation coming in 3…2….1….
-Zoe, thinking (wow I reall fell for a simp)
-ah yes the cringe is finally here, now to spend the next Hour trying to watch the episode.
-OOOO A MONTAGE, so how many items can be retrieved via one whistle blow
- They really replaced Luka with Nino. Wait… DOES THAT MEAN WHAT I THINK IT MEANS! Was the truth finally revealed?!
-I get the plan now, they are framing her for stealing stuff. So basically what Lila did in the episode Ladybug. That’s not surprising but also kind of mid. I was expecting more pizzaz. Side note, Zoe was with her the whole time? Also why would she steal from her parents?
-The Chloe accusing her part was clever, because the motive of Chloe walking in to yell at Marinette is very believable
- okay I take it back, this plan has Pizzaz. But the fact everyone sort of just believes it even her own parents? Like come on? And with an akuma litterally anything is possible.
-And Marinette caught on, sees vanisher thanks to the flowers.
-Chloé legit has a Gold phone?!
-Zoe is taking the blame! Zoe no!?
-Oh! Vanisher can just call back whatever she wants. Proof is in the pudding. Good thing Marinette is ladybug. Piñata time!!! Viva piñata
-yum ladynoir crumbs
- Rip Luka’s guitar
-Chloe now getting stared down
-So confession time!
-Well she never outright say it… but She pretty much says it and Marinette confirms it though turns her down. I’m surprised they did that much
-I was complaining earlier about subtlety but this was tastefully done.
-I FUCKING KNEW SHE WAS DOWN BAD SINCE DAY ONE!
-Good on Zoe for encouraging Marinette. Even though she got turned down. But at least it was canon
-Oh damn Marinette is gonna confess
-SHE DID IT FOLKS! She fucking did it! And Adrien is receptive! Will we get a kiss!?
-GABRIEL YOU COCKBLOCKING FUCKING PIECE OF GARBAGE! I WILL END YOU!
-My heart breaks for Marinette
_________________________________________
7/10
It was a fine episode, I think a lot of it felt padded out, and while I enjoyed the first few minutes and the LAST few minutes were epic. The rest of the episode felt… meh.
Yea Adrien is a sentimonster. There is no denying it. Like I’m sorry for the hood outs. This episodes ending confirmed it completely. Which may be the reason I’m not gonna rate it higher.

Umineko EP8. Replay Part 3
Bernkastel figuring out that "Lambdadelta's plan" is bullshit was slowed down by the fact she had no friends.
Tumblr media
EVA uses her magic to clear the sea of kitties from the room with the key, giving Ange and Battler a chance. EVA leaves letters with a red string to guide Ange, and Ange remarks that they can be trusted because they were written by someone who was always at her side... Narration remarks how Ange would get hurt a lot by the cat box being opened towards all, but the goats couldn't care less... Everyone's fighting to the best of their strength, with no mistakes and - Goddamnit Gohda.
Tumblr media
Erika finds out the truth and everyone tries to murder her immediately, Beatrice tells her to fuck off. Meanwhile, Bernkastel finds out the trick and forces attacks on Battler's group. Ange decides that even a 1% chance to live is a chance worth taking, I am so happy to see how she has changed her view. Lambdadelta makes herself lose to rock paper scissors, deciding to certainly not be a spectator and go with them for the happy ending.
Tumblr media
They are using the power of 3d to have basic candy models explode during this ending, btw. And whales. It's really cute how much their love and friendship is remarked over and over. Even when blowing each other up no one can argue the fact they love each other.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We cut to the fight for the Golden Land again here, Then back to Ange and Battler. Ange feels about going back alone, and then Battler tells her that she must fight and we get this interaction....
Tumblr media
It makes me very happy every time the game remarks how Ange has grown. Anyways, Bern eats Lambda and Lambda explodes inside of her.
Oh huh.... now that I think about it those ep2 scenes with Shannon and Kanon certainly were interesting in that they established Shannon and Kanon as real people people outside Rokkenjima can perceive.
Tumblr media
All the talk about how people's recollections of you can give way to half-truths that don't match up to the fullness of that person is making me think about how the way people close to me have died and how the way people remember them has hurt me and others in my life, it's definitely, won't go into detail too much but this scene's giving me a lot to think about.
Tumblr media
Erika calls Rosa a serial cheater which is.... never the vibe I got from her remotely? I don't think there's much to say about her relationship with Maria's dad, but everything afterward gave off the vibes of not being in a committed enough relationship for "cheating" to be a thing. Aaaah, I feel really bad for Erika in spite of everything now...
Tumblr media
Erika and Beatrice get into a final duel, Beatrice saying they have already won because Ange is already choosing to live in the future. We cut back to Battler and Ange, Featherine arrives and Lambdadelta starts freaking out.
The moment where Lambda attacks still feels really cool even on reread. I actually like it way more on reread now that I saw how Lambdadelta was such an ally the entire time....
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Featherine simply writes that Lambdadelta is already dead, though, and Lambda can't even understand what happened... Lambdadelta calls her a monster.
I... honestly forgot the punch for a second myself. Was shocked at the same time Featherine was. Bernkastel "remembering what pain is" and these lines really do kind of demystify Bernkastel and make it pretty obvious how she's a bitter person who hates Beatrice and co for human reaons, I think.
Tumblr media
Bernkastel is also the main character in some game board, so this is her lashing out against herself as well. And the complete abandonment of Featherine is a little sad to think from her perspective.
Tumblr media
Bernkastel pulls the red truth that no one will come back to her towards Ange again, Battler dies in front of Ange, but even if Ange still struggles at seeing this, it's not like she hasn't gone through this song and dance a couple times now... she won't let the red truth destroy her miracle.
The tacit inclusion here of Beatrice as part of her family makes me so happy I want to cry.
Tumblr media
Ange's eagle fucking explodes the whale oh my god, Bernkastel then just keeps throwing red truths at Ange that definitely won't work anymore. Bernkastel is turned into a kitty. Featherine reveals Lambda is safe in the audience seat.
Ange goes on to make her choice in front of the 2 golden doors...
Tumblr media
Ange assures everyone that this isn't goodbye... not because they will always be with her, but because she still believes in them coming back to her. After making her choice, and being given the doll by Kinzo, Ange is back at the top of the skyscraper and she makes the decision to step back. Ange has decided to live.
Tumblr media
EVA and Battler close the door that leads into Ange's future, confident she can handle things on her own from now.
Erika has... mixed feelings about the events it seems. With how many insults she threw at Ange for wanting to kill herself I got the vibe she didn't want Ange to kill herself. Not like she'd be broken up about it either but I think her ideal ending was the trick ending, having someone who can understand what the truth did to her. She seems a a bit both impressed and displeased she can live with the truth while not turning into a bitter person. Battler cheers up by saying she isn't a witch at all, but the detective.
Tumblr media
Hachijo takes away the Book of Single truth and chides them for disturbing the sleep of the dead with rumors, and takes the book herself. Life became a little easier for Ange as people are less willing to be goats.
Tumblr media
We cut to Battler the scene of Battler and Beatrice in the same place where Kinzo and Beatrice met, Beatrice shows the motorboat to Battler and tells him to leave.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I am going to cry even though I remember this scene perfectly.... Sayo definitely does not consider her life worth living anymore. All the cousins except Battler are dead, and she blames herself for that. She already didn't consider her life worth living before everything happened but after seeing the state of Rokkenjima, man, I can't imagine her mental state, even if Battler probably eased her heart a little... Battler takes her off Rokenjima but it's just not that easy. She's playing strong for Battler's sake, too... putting up the Beatrice persona. But her heart is too wrecked by now and it's too late.
Tumblr media
This scene is destroying me. I want her to reach the realization Ange did. I want her to be able to see the futures thtat I am sure she could have achieved.... but I know how this ends and every line destroys me more and more.
Beatrice tells Battler that she is an evil witch who can't keep living.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Battler and Beatrice and Battler fall down with the catbox, together, forever.
Tumblr media
Ange thanks Okonogi for being the person to her that without love, the truth can't be seen. Okonogi was given in the Ushiromiya group so he's obviously pretty happy with the arrangement, and this also guarantees Ange's survival by making sure no one will be after her.... Ange reveals how she's going to in a journey and becoming an author so she can impart magic to other children.
Ange opens up her life as the last witch, ANGE BEATRICE.

Mass Effect Tag Game
Stole this thing from @messydiabolical. :)c Anyone is welcome to steal it from me as well!
-
I am a fan since: Forgot what year it was but I remember ME2 had already been out for a while before I bought ME1. But I caught up quickly and got to experience the release of the Arrival DLC in real time. :D
Favourite game of the series?: It's hard to pick between 1 and 2, but I'll say 2 because the concept of loyalty missions is MY JAM. Also ME2 is my favorite graphics-wise, it's got that high contrast I love so much. (hate the simplified skill trees though)
MShep or FShep?: Most of my Sheps are fSheps because the character creator for mSheps isn't versatile enough for me. :( Where's the long hair! Let me look impractical!
Earthborn, Colonist or Spacer?: I might slightly prefer Earthborn. I enjoy playing characters who've had a rough start in life and made some bad decisions, but grew up to become decent people anyway.
Biotics or Tech: Can't pick, I like variety!
Paragon or Renegade: peace for everybody in the galaxy :') But I reeeaally love the Renegade eyes so I do have some mean Sheps as well.
Favourite Class: I used to main the Infiltrator class but in my most recent run I really enjoyed the Adept. Hard to pick a favorite but I do know my favorite class is NOT the Sentinel, it always feels clunky to me somehow.
Favourite Companion: Tali or Javik. Kaidan and Thane are nearby too. Tali's character development feels very natural and wonderful to me on every playthrough and I always love to see it. Javik is a fave because he's haunted and completely alone and that combo always hooks me like, I MUST see to it that this sad man has at least one nice thing in his life.
Least favourite Companion: It's the writers' fault but Liara. It gets really old when the same companion treats you like her love interest in all 3 games no matter what. I haaaate forced hugs in roleplaying games, don't put me through that, it'll ruin the character for me.
My squad selection: In my most recent playthrough it was unsurprisingly Javik and Tali. But I also ran with Vega quite often in the early game and I kinda missed him in the end game, haha.
Favourite In-game romance: Kaidan, especially with mShep because I really enjoy a slow burn of several years. 🔥
Other pairings I like: I am motioning at my blog and presenting to you Tazzik and the Shadow Broker...... no i don't have anything else to offer at this time
Favourite NPC: I like all these shady-ass salarians like Anoleis and Jaroth and Maelon and Linron (yes) (no i'm not defending her, i just find mean characters interesting sometimes) and Chorban and probably others. Valern isn't all that shady but still a fave. Charn! And Balak, I always look forward to finding out how my Shepard reacts to him. Zaal'Koris vas Qwib-Qwib I always loved you and I knew you were the best admiral before ME3 ever happened
Favourite Antagonist: the Shadow Broker, I was so into the mystery in ME1 and man I was not disappointed when we got the reveal. I would have loved to learn more about his early life.
Favourite Mission: ME2's Suicide Mission because I lovvve how it's a culmination of all your previous actions. It felt really scary and chaotic on my first playthrough and like anything could happen. Now I know all the mechanics so nothing surprises me, but I still look forward to seeing every little detail play out.
Favourite Loyalty Mission: Tali. Also Mordin. And Samara, ugghhh I love Omega and I love playing bait uwu
Favourite DLC: Hmmm I love about half of LotSB very much but I might like Bring Down the Sky more as a whole? The mood is great, it's not super long, and nothing about it annoys me. :D I've only played the Leviathan DLC once so far so I'm not confident enough to call it a fave yet but I liked it a lot, too.
Control, Synthesis or Destroy: I just wanted an ending where we finally talk the Reapers down and they go "yeah u right actually, let's not fight anymore. :( handshake?". All this star child borderline magic stuff is kinda goofy to me. I've picked Destroy almost every time tho.
Favourite Weapon: Recently enjoyed the Blood Pack Executioner... Historically I've probably used the Widow the most. Also I LOVE the way the Revenant looks but I can't stand using it myself lmao. My hand hurts just thinking about it.
Favourite Place: nnnoooo there's so many good places. I adore the Shadow Broker's ship, first of all. Such a cool concept. Noveria for the snow and miserable people. Feels like home. I loved visiting the Migrant Fleet! But my absolute favorite place is probably Omega because it's so rough yet there's still a weird sense of community.
A quote I like: The first that came to mind is "I have a home." Idk, I don't really remember quotes unless they're repeated over and over and by that point I start hating them.

pt 11? wahhhhh wtf lol
Saturday night- her pov
I am sitting on my bed, watching my closet that I have organized halfway till now, and other half of clothes piled up in boxes tucked beneath, better than being on floor. I should have been stressing about all of the mess I have to clean on Sunday but I don't, I have a date tomorrow with my closest friend tomorrow. I have been smiling since we kissed, if someone saw me they will call me an IDIOT. But I can't stop thinking about him. He looks so pretty when he is shy, he kisses me with such a softness and tender, even our 1st kiss was strong but tender. He is so smart and perfect, he is caring and always honest. I don't have to pretend around him being fine. We share same level of dark humor and random bad flirts, it has been going on. For last 3 years I have know him, somewhere in between the lines from hating him to liking him as a person blurred into loving him for who he is, but now that he loves, no he said maybe, he maybe loves me too, I don't know. I am scared what if I hurt him too, what if my sadness becomes too much for him, he doesn't know how to deal with it. He needs to know about all the therapy sees ions I have taken and my past, that I... I.. killed..someone. My hands are shaking again just with the thought of having to tell him everything. How will he react, will he understand it wasn't my intention? HE will hate me? leave me.. but if that's the right thing okay. I will tell him all of them later today before he makes up his mind about me. I shouldn't keep him in dark now that we.. might become something more than friends. I take in a few breathes calm down Payu your life is better now, you aren't your past and problems you will be fine, you have Luv and Ayan and other friends counting on you. Your brother is depending on you, your family needs you, you have to try harder. I put in my earphones and let songs fill my head letting go of all the thoughts. I am numb.
I didn't knew that I fell asleep, I woke up a while ago to use washroom and now, I am hungry lying on bed. 'aaaaaah' I sigh. I haven't decided what I am gonna wear tomorrow, oh my Goddd I also forgot to ask what time we are meeting from Ayan. I search for my phone.
its 2.56 am and I have a few missed calls from Luv and a lot of texts. I open to check and its Luv, being Luv. First she simps a bit about her partner then she has sent me pics of Mitsy, her cat and then to quote her "for god sake don't wear something all black tomorrow" "and if he tries anything you don't like, feel free to kill him!!!!! I will help to dispose shrimp's body B)" ''and where are u guys going???'' ''do u need me to come over to help u?'' ''yk whut I am still coming, I don't trust you'' ''text me the time asap babe or me will be invading your house tomorrow'' ''night love :3'' I am laughing reading her texts and the way she is more excited for my date than me, but I know why she is. I see Ayan has texted me too, 'I will be at your home till 10 am, wear something comfortable and also pack a set of simple clothes. I wont tell you details yet but I can assure this will be one of your best if not the best XD' I am all shy with the first thought that popped up in my mind what a trash.
I go to kitchen and put water to boil, text Luv to come at my house at till 8 am, after her gym and and set alarm for waking up early. I am too lazy to work now I will just have some instant noodle. and sleep.
sunday////////
*ding dong ding dong ding dong*
'oh my God Luv learn patience' I rush to open the door. 'hiiiiiiiiiiiiiii' she squeals, she has a bubbly personality for most parts, or else murderer, and she is in her gym clothes itself ' and you haven't even showered yet have you??' ' oh you are definitely my babe' she makes a finger heart towards me 'You know me so well meri jaan' I roll my eyes at her 'tch, are you hungry?' 'what have you cooked? and who am I to say no to food??' 'nothing much just a shortcut pasta' 'damnnnn pastaaaa!'she is such a kid 'just give me 10 mins i will take a showers asap' 'NO!' I shout 'not asap' 'ok miss always paranoid' I glare at her as she mocks me with showing her tongue. And she disappears to bath with the same speed she came inside.
She is sitting on the sofa while I have been modeling clothes for her approval, its been 15 mins and whatever I wear, she hates all of them.
'how is this?' 'are you going to give a presentation?' 'ok this?' 'you are kidding me.' ' this?' ' you look like a teacher tired of life in all of them' 'I am tired, if you have a problem in all of them? then why don't you get up and help me out ' and I drag her to my room.
15 mins later, we come to conclusion of me wearing a denim wrap up dress with a black tank inside. I would have not choose it but Luv wont let me wear anything like a set of top and bottoms.
'Payu, can you not wear black one day?' she says in a pleading way ' you know why, and it's barely visible and it works well' 'oh god girl' she says in a dramatic tone and come towards me 'and why are you not showing your sexy assets' she says doing that weird thing with her hands. 'LUV.' I am judging her hard, not really If I was her I would be saying same thing to her. 'you know I don't like it, I am conscious about it too much' 'Its not like he hasn't seen them, infact he was the one losing consciousness, his mind and his sleep over it' she winks at me and I give an angry look to her to shut up. 'Fine miss never break any rule, but he is gonna see them when you are alone' she can't have her mouth shut can she? 'Don't tell me you are gonna stop him if he tries to lay you down if you know what I mean' she is smirking at me, I am blushing and she knows she got me. 'I clearly know what you mean' not that I didn't think about it but now that she said it seems more real what if we.. we do the things today no, no, we can't, its too early and i- i- 'what are you thinking, don't tell me you are already dreaming about things you will do on here' she is sitting on my bed and touching it and damn this girl is really weird, why is she my friend. I am shaking my head in disbelief 'Luv fuck you, and I hate you. I am not thinking anything' but I know my face says a different story than my mouth. 'I will be fucked later for sure' she giggles 'but you are gonna be today.' 'oh my god!!!' I throw a pillow at her 'hahaha you are red like a tomato' 'just go I hate you' she is giggle more and more 'oh you don't I am amazing' and she is right about this 'whatever.' I storm off in bathroom to get my makeup done.
'so how do I look?' I ask her 'very fuckable' she says with mouth full of pasta 'LUV.' 'ok ok, your outfit, its nice and little makeup you did is suitable for this weather, since it rains usually every evening, but ummm something is missing' 'what?' 'wait' she is searching up in my not so secret secret storage mirror damn I love this it was such a rare find. She pulls out the mauve wine lipstick, the one I rarely wear because it stands out too much but I love it. 'you need a darker shade of lipstick you know' 'I don't like to wear dark shades.' I give her a look 'but you still keep buying this' 'yeah because I love how it looks' I am objecting. 'so wear it. don't give me any look, wear it.' I give in her choice because I did thought to wear that shade today but then I didn't maybe I just needed a reassurance, and Luv was right, it was the missing thing. I love how I look. I hope he likes seeing me like this too, even if he has seen me as a mess too.
9.50 AM
'OHHOOOO ''incoming call from KALYANAM<3"' Luv shouts from living room.

I know most of you probably forgot about it but I haven't and I want to keep my promises so guess what! I'm bearing my soul to you people and today I'll finally be giving all the details of my album, melodramatic.
@dandelions-fly-in-summer-skies I'm gonna @ you in some more of my music like new songs because this is not my best work lol
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
album cover:
Tumblr media
*the original image isn't mine, I literally got it off the internet and I never plan on releasing this, making an album cover and all of this is for fun*
tracklist:
1. the movement
2. crying in my bed at 3 am on a rainy tuesday
3. gospel
4. places i’ve seen before
5. people lie.
6. take another breath
7. long pause
8. my dreams aren’t real but my demons are
9. honey take your meds
10. is my family ashamed of me?
11. drama queen
the three songs (I had a few that has the same number so I get to choose on those lol PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE MY WRITING)
1. my dreams aren't real but my demons are
Sitting in my room on a regular day, wasting my life away. I think blue light is seeping into my brain. I don’t do anything anymore. I don’t even see my friends. And my room is dirty, I wish my Mom was here to bug me to clean it. And he said “You’ll be fine on your own.” Oh, but he was so wrong. 
My dreams aren’t real. Sitting here wishing I had some kinda physical appeal, even looking in the mirror hurts. What can you do when you're stuck in a body that doesn’t even love you? How did the brain name itself and why is the brain so mean? And why is there a man dressed in all black outside my window, but only on Thursday nights? Because my dreams aren’t real, but my demons are. Getting into college, becoming famous, that’ll never happen but I can count on my sleep paralysis demon to be there when I need him. And it’s so sad because I’ve never hated myself more than I do now and they don’t care.
I can’t help but mope around, waiting for some big circus to roll into town. Maybe then I wouldn’t be the only clown. I get up on big stages, hoping every time will be different, but instead I get booed off. I’m not proud of my past and I hope this version of me doesn’t last. They say all I do is sing about the negative but what do they want me to do? Sing about rainbows and unicorns? I never will because I sing about what I feel.
Cause man, my dreams aren’t real. I can wish all I want for a big fancy house but come on, that’ll never happen. Cleverly hidden lyrics on the back of a cereal box. Whenever I’m at the doctor's office for the 7th time this month, all I do is stare at the clocks. I take 20 medicines a day and nothing can keep my demons away.
2. is my family ashamed of me (I am not suicidal I just want to preface)
They used to call me the good kid. They said to make sure I remember them when I get famous. They wanted some of my success. They wanted me to be somebody. And I can’t imagine dying without being famous. I want people other than my hometown to know my name. I want to be someone. Make a name. Get out of this town. And yet I’d be leaving behind everything I’ve ever known, till eventually I drown. In other words, in the fight for the crown. I’d come back and leave, do it all again and still not know where I want to be. 36, a crazy woman with a broken dream. Do I want that to describe me? 
What happens when you give all the time and never get anything back? Do you run out of gifts? Of things to give? All the birthdays, all the christmases. All the lost time yet I was there. Do they hear the whispers about me? The grocery store, the gas station, in the eyes of the people who saw me grow up. I was gonna do great things but sitting here, I got one question. Is my family ashamed of me?
Would all the problems be fixed if I wasn’t born. If I never existed. Would they be happier, nicer, richer? What would it be? Give me a genie and I’ll waste my wishes and give me all the money in the world and I’ll be gone. Is my family ashamed of me? And it’s not my fault, I’ve been thinking ‘bout death. Can’t help but question this whole big thing, said no when you proposed with your dollar tree ring. I can never ask for help, I’m embarrassed when I see someone I know in public. And I hate driving slow, but I love having somewhere to go.
3. drama queen (this song has a few taylor references, whoever can point them all out gets a cookie)
I wish that you could go and unsay all those things you said that day. I wish I could undo all my actions and the reckless driving I did on the way. I know I’m partly to blame, I know that you always curse when you say my name. I think I know everything, but I’m just a dumb teenage girl trying to make her way. Do you think when I showed up to your party that was when I ruined everything? Do you think that my Mom is too pushy and she needs to stay in her lane? And why did you run away when I said those three words? All you had to do was stay. 
I know you say I’m a drama queen. I know you say I think I know everything. But I thought you cared. I thought you liked it when I did that dare. I thought you were gonna comfort me when I cried, but you left me. If I died, would you attend my wake? Would you care if I threw it all away for the sake of our relationship? What if your future was in the bend, would you leave me then? Are you waiting for the moment to strike when it hurts the worst then leave my life speeding, while I’m forced to slowly follow the hearse? 
I convinced myself that you were a brick wall and I was the sledgehammer. Breaking you down and fixing you back up but like usual, I was wrong. You are my David, I am Michelangelo. You wanted the world and I wanted you, we are not equal. I wanted you so bad that suddenly, I didn’t want you at all. What happens when you’ve been fighting for years but suddenly you lose sight of what you’re fighting for? 
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
so that's that. also I put most of my lyrics in paragraphs so if you don't read it all, I don't mind lol. enjoy my friends.

Unrequited (Yandere! Ticci Toby x Reader) Part 6
Next Chapters: Part 7, Part 8, Part 9
Links to Previous Chapters: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, & Part 5
Author’s Note: This chapter has some heavy topics in it, especially towards the beginning about abuse. I’ve alluded to the reader in this story having a past that’s important to the plot, so I wanted to show that a little bit and where their whole paranoia and anger stems from.
Hopefully, this came out okay. Cross-posted on my Ao3 account which I update quicker.
Warnings: Swearing. Referenced child abuse (there is an actual scene in this but the reader is 18). Abusive relationships in general. Canon-typical violence. (5,241 words). This chapter is so long lol.
****************************
“If someone’s going to get violent with you, you have to be willing to get more fucking violent.”
 This was the kind of advice you had been given growing up.
An overall theme of being able to stoop lower than anybody. To have no line you wouldn’t cross to ensure victory. Even if that meant getting your hands dirty. Rigging the game.
And if you ever found yourself in a fair fight, you’ve already done something wrong.
It was your dad who put these thoughts into your head, and for a good portion of your childhood, you thought nothing of it. Like any kid, you believed your upbringing was normal.
Thankfully, this didn’t last.
You knew better now.
When you’re young, you’re naïve, and you look at the world with rose-colored glasses. Unable to see all the obvious red flags in front of you. But you were clever enough to figure out that most of the time, your dad was full of shit. Projecting his own personality onto everyone else, assuming everyone around him had the same cutthroat attitude he did.
Though you had come to this realization, it didn’t make unlearning all his fucked-up lessons that were spoon-fed to you since you were a baby easy.
His manipulation of your mind could range from more extreme notions to subtle ideas you still caught yourself believing today if you weren’t careful enough.
He was smart.
There’s a certain depiction of an abuser that TV and movies love to use. A stupid man in a dirty wife-beater who’s always angry. So blatantly vile in their actions, no redeemable qualities to be seen. Almost non-human. Those types of toxic people are out there, but it’s rarer. Most of the time, abusers are more insidious.
There was a reason it took you so long to leave after all.
Some days you wanted nothing more than to spend time with him, ask for his advice, his opinions. A longing to have him parent you. And he could do that. He could fit that role when it suited him and make you feel loved. There were times that you had even been in trouble, over something that was your fault, and you would be so scared to tell him. But when you finally did, he’d be totally understanding, and you’d question why you were so hesitant in the first place.
However, this never lasted. Abuse is a cycle, you never forgot that. There are four stages to look for. The tension, the incident, the reconciliation, and the calm. And these periods don’t always have to last the same amount of time. For you, sometimes the calm would last half a year. Sometimes only a day. Because another thing to keep in mind is that an abuser is a person too. They have emotions. So, in periods of their lives when they are more stressed, they become more volatile. You despised the fact that this concept was never told to you growing up. Because everything your father did to you was so inconsistent, it took you too long to recognize that what you were going through wasn’t normal.
That your feelings of betrayal, sadness, and fear were valid.
And at the age of 18, you were ready to put a stop to it.
Anne was your biggest supporter. Her house had become a second home to you growing up, her family having some awareness of your situation.
But Anne knew everything. All the details.
The two of you made plans to leave your hometown together. Being the rich kid that she was, her parents were sending her to college at a place where they owned their second home. You’d stay there while she stayed on campus. But you needed time before making any decisions to join higher education.
You didn’t know what you wanted.
You didn’t know who the fuck you were.
You just knew you couldn’t follow the strict plans your dad had for you in life.
And you wanted to feel safe.
That’s why you found yourself frantically packing up the rest of your things from your father’s house. Anne was waiting for you at her home with a U-Haul truck ready to go, all you needed was to get to her before your dad came home from work.
He couldn’t find out about this.
Not until you were long gone.
But life had a funny way of screwing you over. Always dealing you a bad hand.
Before you made it out the door with your last suitcase, the always anxiety-inducing sound of your dad’s car tires pulling up the driveway made you stop.
 He had come home early.
 “(Y/N)? What’s going on?”
He came through the door leading to the garage, tossing his keys on the table next to it. The look on his face a mixture of confusion and concern.
 You knew that wouldn’t last long.
 There you were, halfway down the stairs from your bedroom with a suitcase in hand. No matter what you said there was no mistaking your intentions. You weren’t the first to leave him, after all.
As expected, his face turned cold. Seeing how you only stared back at him with wide eyes from being caught red-handed. You didn’t say a word.
“Answer me. What are you doing?” He walked swiftly towards the bottom of the stairs. Blocking your only escape.
It angered you.
A reaction you without a doubt learned from him.
A dumb response, but it was the one you chose to have at this moment. This was the final time you’d have to confront him.
No matter how much he hurt you, you’d fight back.
“You know exactly what I’m doing.”
Your heart beat fast. Just because you’ve challenged him plenty of times before, never made it any less terrifying.
Your dad’s face twisted in anger. You could see the rage start to build. And in a second, you were going to feel it too.
“That’s it? That’s all I get? After everything I’ve done for you. All the sacrifices I’ve made. The money I spent. I care about you. And now you just fucking run out on me just like your delinquent brother!”
The steps creaked as he approached you.
You backed up, all the way to the top of the stairs
Almost face to face now, he sighed, forming a tired smile. “Listen, I’m sorry I lost my temper. Let’s just take a seat in the living room and we can talk.”
You knew what this was.
An apology soon turned into another long-winded explanation about how he feels bad. That being a single dad is just so hard sometimes. That every parent makes mistakes trying to do right by their kids. You’ve heard it all before. And you were done listening.
“Fuck you.”
It rolled off the tongue easily when directed at him. You made your bed, and now you were going to sleep in it.
 The first fist was expected.
 It made contact with your right shoulder, but you hardly reacted.
All you could focus on was the look in his eye. The utter hate. Every time you two got into an altercation like this it always put you in a state of shock at first. That your father, the one who was supposed to love and support you could suddenly treat you like this. A disgusting betrayal that broke all trust. He wasn’t the same person now, and you, the one in front of him, were no longer his child. Only a reminder that he was failing. Something to punch into submission.
Your reflexes kicked in.
Years of practice had made you pick up a few moves on your own. From the corner of your eye, you saw his leg swing back, ready to kick your shins and knock you down.
You caught it in both arms before he had the chance. It wasn’t graceful and it stung a bit, but you knew what you were doing.
And you knew when you used his own leg to push him back, that all that awaited him now was the fall down those stairs.
A smile stretched on your lips as you watched.
Even though you’d never admit it, you felt some weird sense of accomplishment and strength whenever you were able to hurt him back.
He tumbled down hard, clumsily landing at the bottom with his limbs splayed out. At some point, he must’ve tried to use his arm to break his fall, because now he was cradling it, broken.
You ran down the stairs, skipping a couple of steps while holding your suitcase, making a break for the door.
You could hear your dad screaming at you the whole time, your brain not even processing his words. His pleads.
Just basking in the sunshine as you finally left for good.
************************************
 It didn’t matter how old you were now. How much you’ve grown; how much you’ve moved on. Stuff like what happened with Toby can still bring you back to that place.
 And suddenly, you’re a kid again.
 When he left that night, you practically jumped into Anne’s arms. She knew something was up, probably having seen the person responsible storm out of your house.
You were never a touchy person, so initiating a hug made it clear you were beyond upset.
It was an unspoken agreement that Anne would stay with you until you settled down. Especially after you told her the last thing he said to you.
 “You’ll be seeing me again soon, (Y/N)”
 A promise.
 A threat.
 Most likely both.
On the one hand, it made you terrified, and on the other it made you want to kill him. That some person could have the audacity to treat you this way after you had let them into your home. Shared something with them that you were fond of. You even made him dinner for Christ’s sake.
And then he texted you.
Anne and you had been curled up on the couch together. You refused to go to sleep, afraid he might show up again, instead watching a lighthearted comedy to take your mind off everything.
Originally you wanted to text him back, ‘Eat shit and die.’ But your friend convinced you that probably wouldn’t help the situation.
You had to hand the phone over to Anne so she could write a more eloquent response than the many insults you had planned.
Toby didn’t say anything back. A part of you was hoping that it meant he’d taken the hint that things were going nowhere between the two of you. That this would be the end of it.
It made you relieved enough to finally get some rest for the night.
 Now, it was morning.
 Anne had made chocolate chip pancakes for breakfast. A tradition you guys had whenever you’d stay at her parents’ house when you were kids to get away from your father. The gesture was nice but still reminded you of those dark days all the same.
She stared at you, sipping coffee from her mug, as you lazily picked at the fluffy disks with a fork. “I need to tell you something.”
Your tired eyes slowly drifted up. “What?”
Anne looked at you with pity. “I have a four-hour-long exam this afternoon, so I have to leave you for a little bit. I tried emailing my professor to put it off for a day, but he said no. Engineering teachers can be such dicks.”
Her words made you feel pathetic. Like a helpless victim. Someone who would never escape all the fucked-up things their past did to them. This was why it was so hard for you to tell your other friends about your family. Once you told people, it was like that was all they could see. Using it like some overzealous psychology student to explain everything you did in the present.
But you knew Anne had your best interest in mind.
You forced a weak smile. “I’ll be fine on my own for a couple hours. I don’t need you to babysit me all the time, you know.” At times like these, you felt like you had to lighten the mood. Crack a joke. Not bum the other person out so much that they get fed up and leave. And Anne had done nothing but help this entire time. The guilt was killing you.
Of course, your friend saw right through your façade.
“No, you’re not fine.” She sighed. Not giving you the chance to disagree, she continued. “Listen, before you got up, I called my mom and told her what happened. While I’m gone, she said she’ll come over for some ‘girl time’. She’s bringing over homemade empanadas so you can’t say no.”
You raised a brow, “Girl time?”
“Her words, not mine.” Anne chuckled.
Even though you didn’t want to inconvenience anybody, it was hard to refuse her mom’s cooking. “I guess I’ll allow it.” You smirked. As if you had much of a choice in the matter.
“Good. I’m going to get some last-minute studying done.”
She got up from her chair putting her plates in the sink.
 ***************************** 
Anne had left you alone once again. Fortunately, this time you didn’t have any plans to have dinner and a movie with a crazy man.
You hadn’t eaten since breakfast, and it was closing in on almost 3 pm. But you wanted to save room for the promised empanadas, mouth watering at the mere thought of them.
The house was unusually cold that afternoon, and it was a struggle to find something to do while you waited. Although you had slept last night, it wasn’t nearly enough, so you found yourself in a mental fog. Constantly trying to fight back yawns, not wanting to take a nap in case Anne’s mother showed up while you were passed out.
 Finally, the doorbell rang.
 Excitement overwhelmed you, and without thinking, you made a mad dash to the front entrance to let the visitor in. Grabbing the handle, you hastily opened the door with a huge smile.
 A familiar stench overpowered your senses.
 Sandalwood and lavender
 Your breath hitched.
 “(Y-Y/N)”
 No.
 Oh fuck no.
 It wasn’t Anne’s mom.
  “SHIT!”
  Eyes wide with fear, you tried to slam the door shut.
A dirty boot suddenly wedged itself in between the frame, forcing it to stay open.
Forcing you to face the last person on earth you wanted to see.
 Toby.
 He stood as tall as ever in front of you. A dull green hoodie with stripes and a blue hood. Gripping a large bouquet of roses in his hand so hard you could see the thorns had started cutting him.
“I’m nuh-not here to hurt you, (Y/N).” He sounded timid. Like a shy young boy trying to speak to their crush for the first time. A stark contrast to how he’d been the night before.
You could feel your knees starting to tremble. Your hand still gripped the side of the door, trying to force it to close with the full weight of your body, even with the man’s shoe still preventing it.
“I juh-just wanted to a-puh-logize to you formally.” His eyebrows furrowed, watching you start to kick his foot out of the way. “Quit it. I only want to tuh-talk.”
He was starting to get annoyed. You could tell. And from everything you’ve experienced with him before you knew it would only get worse.
“Leave me alone.” You huffed out, slamming your entire frame repeatedly now on the wood of the door.
It started to budge a bit, inches away from closing.
Toby growled, shoving his arm into the small crack. Slithering his entire body halfway through the entrance, reaching out his arm to grab you. His face was crushed by the doorframe, but you could still see the expression of frustration and rage. Something you were all too familiar with.
“Just let.” His body moved forward.
 “Me.” He was almost inside.
 “IN.”
 The door swung open violently on its hinges, knocking you back in the process.
Falling on your ass, you scrambled to get up and get the fuck away from him.
Large hands gripped both your shoulders, spinning you around before you had the chance.
His eyes were wide looking down at you. “I’m suh-sorry I had to do that. Are you okay?” He was smiling.
This man was completely unhinged.
Toby started rubbing your arms, gliding up and down. An act typically made to calm a person down. But that wasn’t his intent. The man’s face was fully red, almost drooling. He just liked using any excuse to put his disgusting mitts on you.
You jerked out of his hold, contorting your face into the most menacing look you could muster. “Don’t. Fucking. Touch me.”
Ignoring you, he cocked his head to the side, glancing down at the flowers he had brought that were now on the floor. The petals had been crushed and scattered around during the scuffle. He started twitching aggressively.
“Now look what you did. I wuh-went through all that trouble.” Toby muttered, barely audible.
Snapping his eyes back to you, he grinned again, emotions quickly switching gears. “No wuh-worries though. I wasn’t even sure if you liked thuh-those kinds of flowers. I can get you a different kind.”
Was he serious? Did he forget what the hell he just did? Breaking into your home, knocking you down, then acting like the two of you were a couple. What was he going to do next? Start picking out china patterns?
You started to shake. You couldn’t tell if it was from anger or fear.
Fists clenching, your nails dug hard into your skin to the point you drew blood.
“Get out.”
He looked at you confused.
“Get out.”
Your voice was beginning to rise.
“Get. OUT.”
Toby didn’t move, watching your outburst in disbelief.
 “GET OUT!”
 Silence.
 He blinked and took a deep breath. Lifting his head, he stared past you, a distant look in his gaze. He seemed lost in thought before opening his mouth to speak.
 “No.”
 It was like he was answering a simple question. Making a firm decision and telling you matter-of-factly. It didn’t sound like a threat. But you knew it was.
You backed away.
Like a predator realizing its prey was about to escape its claws, Toby changed his stance. Getting ready to attack.
“Wuh-where are you going?” His eyes narrowed, piercing into every fiber of your being. “I only wuh-want –“
 You ran.
 There wasn’t a clear path to go. The only exit from the house was through Toby, and he could easily grab you if you tried going on either side of him.
The only way left was behind you.
Upstairs.
You cursed inwardly, hastily climbing the steps. This was one of the things you always hated in horror movies. When the protagonist cornered themselves on the second floor.
Maybe you could jump out a window?
Adrenaline fueling your thoughts, you quickly looked around at the top of the stairs trying to decide the best place to go. Behind you, Toby’s heavy footsteps pounded on the floor trying to catch up. Growling a string of expletives from his lips.
Although tempted to run to your bedroom, instead you settled for the guest room. It was closer and had a balcony. You never stayed in there because the large glass door leading to the outside made you feel unsafe. Like anybody could scale up the side of the house, break-in, and slit your throat while you slept.
How ironic that it’s now become the best possible way to escape danger.
Slamming the door behind, you locked it and rushed over to the exit. With only a slight turn to the metal handle, the glass double doors burst open, a rush of wind blowing the curtains haphazardly around you.
There was a storm brewing outside. Heavy gray clouds cast a shadow that gave the illusion of nighttime. God, could this be any more cliché?
You bent slightly over the railing, looking down at the two-story drop. It made your head spin. Your mind subconsciously trying to get you to back away and retreat. Your feet were firmly planted on the ground, and every time you tried to will it forward you found yourself hesitating.
Toby was slamming on the bedroom door, you thought that locking it would buy you more time, but you could already hear wood splintering. He didn’t look strong enough to break down a door so quickly given his sickly complexion. But being proven wrong was a regular occurrence today.
A new plan hatched in your brain, remembering something you’d almost forgotten about. The closet.
With the doors to the balcony opened, if you hid now, it might trick the psycho trying to get you that you’ve already left.
And in case that plan failed, this closet in particular held all the things you wanted to forget about.
You opened the storage space discretely, closing it behind you as your hands tried to feel out your old hunting bag. A gift from your father. Containing all the little weapons and survival guides he’d attempted to force on you since you were a child. You undid the zipper, fishing around for something that could help you defend yourself.
The first thing you recognized was a tiny pair of brass knuckles. Far too small for you now. Your dad had welded them from an old belt buckle of his, specifically to fit a child’s hand. Obviously, you never used them. The next item was a serrated hunting knife. Something to gut fish with, not that you ever liked doing that, but it could probably gut crazy guys trying to kill you too, right? You tucked it away in your pants. Using knives meant close combat. Too risky. But you’d keep it on your person just in case. Finally, your hand touched a cool metal rod. It was folded up into itself. A retractable military-grade police baton stick. Another one of his strange “gifts”. When you’d asked him where he got it all he said was “the internet”. Whatever that means.
This was the only time in your life you’ve been thankful for getting these things instead of regular toys for your birthday. Hopefully, you could figure out how to use them.
The door finally gave way, you could hear Toby stumble inside the room swearing. You clutched the metal weapon against your chest.
You were afraid. You hated that. Hated that you could feel this way inside your own home. That an intruder had come onto your territory to threaten your safety. The life you’ve painstakingly had to rebuild.
Through gritted teeth, you tried to channel these fears into anger. A mechanism to give yourself courage.
You needed to be alert, and you focused on listening to every movement Toby made outside your hiding place. Pretending that you were the predator now. Listening for the perfect time to strike.
His footsteps immediately went to the balcony. The sound of feet shuffling on the tile outside, he was probably trying to see if he could catch a glimpse of your retreating form.
You heard him step back inside calmly, no longer seeming to be in much of a hurry.
 “Hmmm, I wuh-wonder where (Y/N) went!” He purred playfully.
 Your stomach dropped.
 Oh fuck.
 Did he actually figure out you were still here or was he just trying to trick you?
Either way, you were staying put.
 “Muh-maybe… UNDER THIS PILLOW?” You heard the covers and cushions of the bed being swiped off the mattress.
 Toby snapped his fingers, fake disappointment in his voice, “Damn!”.
 He was mocking you. Treating this like some kind of game. What a thoroughly fucked up guy.
 “Or muh-maybe…”
 For a second you thought he was making his way to your hiding spot, but he walked right past it.
 “IN THIS DRAWER?”
 You heard various small items being scattered around the ground, as Toby flung one of the drawers to an old vanity table on the floor. It landed right in front of where you were, the only thing separating you from it being the door of the closet. You almost yelped from surprise.
It wouldn’t be long before he found you. Whether he thought you were in this room or not, it was obvious he was going to check every nook and cranny anyway.
But who said you had to sit there and wait?
Toby was moving back to the bed now. Probably to start checking actual hiding spots, you realized. The typical ones. Under the bed. In the closet. The only possible places you could be.
Lucky for you his first choice was wrong.
It was a gamble, with the odds stacked high against you, but you slowly creaked the door to the closet open and peeked.
 There he was, in all his manic glory, looking down at the bed. Facing away from you.
 “Or maybe…”
 It was a whisper this time, but you still caught it. He must’ve really thought you were under there for some reason.
 Toby knelt down, expecting to find you huddled up in fear.
 Now was your chance.
 You exploded out of the closet. Flicking your arm, you heard the click of the baton as it grew to its full length.
Toby whipped his head around, caught off guard. He staggered trying to stand back up and face the attack.
There was a look of shock in his eye that you relished when you struck down across his face.
“Take that you fuck!” You sneered down at him, feeling the rush of successfully turning the tables.
He fell back on his side, clutching his face with both hands while groaning in pain.
 You smirked.
 But then he stopped.
 Slowly, he moved his fingers, showing you wild eyes full of hysterical joy, a stream of blood trickling down from his temple. He giggled like a schoolgirl.
 Your eyes widened.
 What the fuck?
 A hit like that would take anybody down. Batons were no joke. At the very least it should’ve taken him more time to recover.
 “I don’t FEEL puh-pain.”
 You didn’t even get a chance to process his words before you felt a large hand grab your ankle. He pulled harshly, making you lose your balance.
Your arm shot out attempting to catch yourself, the baton slipping out of your hand and rolling towards the open window.
Toby’s grip tightened its hold on your leg while you tried to crawl towards it. With your other foot, you kicked his face while trying to peel his fingers off.
You finally managed to land a good blow between his eyes, and being temporarily blinded, his grasp loosened. You used the opportunity to jerk your ankle away.
Standing up, you ran to the weapon, picking it up and spinning around.
Toby faced you, now at his full height too. He tilted his head to the side, eyes lidded while smiling brightly. Like he was having the time of his life.
You took a couple of warning swings, glaring at him. “Stay back jackass! I will KILL you if I have to!” You weren’t entirely sure if you could kill somebody, but the rage you felt at this moment made you tempted to try.
He licked his lips, face turning flush yet again.
“Oh, I duh-don’t doubt it, (Y/N).”
Holy shit this guy was gross.
Toby steadily approached your smaller form, a devious look in his eyes, arms outstretched getting ready to strike.
You slowly retreated onto the balcony.
The wind raged fiercely, the sheer white curtains whipping past your head.
It was hard to breathe.
The intenseness of each step he took.
Like he already had you by the throat.
Your back hit the railing, the only thing stopping you from tumbling off the edge.
Completely unbothered, Toby moved the white fabric that fluttered around to the side. He was so close now you could hear him breathing.
You raised your weapon over your head, hands shaking, and swung forward.
He caught your arm.
 Fuck.
 With his free hand, he quickly grabbed the baton and tossed it on the ground behind him.
Now you just stared up at him, like a deer caught in the headlights, watching him raise your arm up high.
He was grinning so wide now it looked like it must’ve hurt. But you had learned the hard way that it didn’t. Nothing did.
He forced you on your tip toes. You thought for sure he was going to completely lift you off the floor and throw you over the ledge.
But he didn’t.
 In a state of complete confusion, you were daintily twirled around, and in one swift motion he dipped you. Putting his face so close his lips brushed against yours.
 “Isn’t this nuh-nice?” He murmured.
 Was this all some kind of fucking dance to him?
Regaining your composure, the initial shock finally dying down, you pushed him away. Now the positions switched, you in the doorway to the bedroom, him leaning on the balcony’s railing. His arms were crossed, flashing you a sinister smile. Looking so proud of himself for some ungodly reason.
 That smug look.
 Your blood boiled.
 On instinct you reeled back your fist, punching him, nose letting out a sickening crunch at the force, while his head flew to the side.
He blinked for a second before turning to you, his face contorted with wrath. The madness and bloodlust inside him revealing themselves again.
 His leg lifted off the ground, ready to make impact with your body.
 But you’ve done this before.
 Too many times.
 In both arms, the muscle memory triggered, the ungraceful movement catching his leg.
There was a pause where neither one of you moved. Toby looked down at where you held his shin near your waist, perplexed and starting to lose his balance.
 With a grin, you pushed him back with as much force as you could. His arms flailing, and his body about to fall over the railing.
 You had won.
  Or so you thought.
 In a last-ditch effort, he grabbed the curtains, almost tearing them in the process. Oh, how you wished that they had.
Pulling himself back up, he stared at you with widened eyes. Surprised that you actually managed to do something like that. It wasn’t anything that would make him think you were secretly an expert fighter. But it was enough to show you clearly have more experience than you let on.
 Another one of his crazed smiles stretched across his face.
 “You’re good, (Y/N)”
 He paused, letting his words sink in. You tried to back up a bit, not liking the look in his eyes.
 “But yuh-you know what? I’m better.”
 He tackled you to the ground making you scream. Immediately pinning down both your arms, you thrashed trying anything to get him off.
You could hear him laughing under his breath watching you fail.
 His arm reached out to grab something off to the side.
 The baton.
 “Wait! Please don’t!” You pleaded, trying to make your voice sound as pathetic as possible. The only hope now being that he’d take pity on you.
 With the weapon raised above his head, his expression softened with a love-sick gaze.
 For a second, you thought he was letting you go.
 You were wrong.
 “I’m suh-sorry things had to turn out this way.”
  And he swung down.
