「 To My Dear Family 」

"MC, we're leaving now. Take good care of the house with Soley until we get back. Make sure nothing bad happens or there will be consequences. Am I clear?"

The demon brothers were summoned to the castle by Diavolo. It seemed something so important, having the need to summon them so early in the morning. Lucifer said to make sure nothing bad happened while he was going on and on about minding the mansion, but you knew he wasn't talking about the building. He wanted you to make sure nothing bad happens to Soley. Otherwise, it's him you'll answer to.

"Yes, Lucifer. I heard you loud and clear. I hope you have a safe trip."

As soon as the seven of them departed without saying much to you, you headed towards your bedroom in hopes of studying the material Solomon gave you as homework. When you passed by Soley's room, you noticed how quiet it was. As if you were infected with the brothers' care for her, worry filled you, and you immediately knocked on the door. There was no answer, so you knocked once more. Just as you were about to knock again, you received a message on your D.D.D. from the girl herself.

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

S O L E Y

Hello, MC. I went out today with a few of my demon friends.

Lucifer already knows this.

Don't worry about me though, I'll be fine on my own.

Do you want anything from the village?

I'll bring it back home for you.

Y O U

To which village are you heading?

You should have told me that first before you left. Lucifer never said anything about you leaving today.

S O L E Y

Well, maybe he forgot to tell you.

Although, I did tell him last night when we were in his office.

Maybe it slipped his mind because his paperwork's been piling up again.

Y O U

That's weird...

Lucifer usually never forgets anything, nor does he let anything slide right by him.

Are you sure you told him?

S O L E Y

Whether you believe me or not is up to you. It won't change the fact that I'm already outside, and I'm not telling you where I am since you'll just drag me back to the house.

I'm not a little girl anymore, MC, I can take care of myself. Tell Lucifer and his brothers that, too, because they tend to worry so much about me.

Too much even.

Y O U

You really should be more careful, Soley. Those boys are worried for good reason.

I know you think you can handle yourself, but just remember that you're in the Devildom.

This place is dangerous for humans like us. So please tell me where you are so I can at least come and protect you in any case something happens.

... Soley?

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

You didn't receive a reply, which made you anxious. Taking your coat with you, you dashed out of the house and headed towards Purgatory Hall. You had a feeling that Soley might have just ignored your message and didn't want to say anymore, but you couldn't risk it. You didn't want to risk anything at that moment.

As you were catching your breath from running a long way, you knocked at the door of Purgatory Hall. It opened shortly after your last knock and revealed a certain angel that displayed worry on his face the moment he laid his eyes on you.

"MC? What are you doing here? Did you run all the way here from the House of Lamentation?" Cassiel was there by your side when you almost fell to the ground. Not only were your legs trembling, but also your hands, and just your whole body. The angel first assumed that you were frightened, but a glint of a certain look in your eyes told him something different.

"M-MC!" The two of you heard a voice from down the hall of the entrance. A young angel came running towards you as soon as he saw you from the window of his bedroom. You tried to look as well as you could, but you couldn't fool him. Letting the older angel carry you inside, Luke followed the two of you shortly after closing the front door. Simeon and Solomon entered the living room where Cassiel placed you on the couch, and Luke handed you a cup of warm tea he brewed before you arrived.

But you knew you had no time for all of that. You told them what was troubling you. At first, they, too, were worried until a few seconds passed, and the thought came to them. Was it really a bad thing for Soley to disappear?

"Please help me find Soley and bring her back home! I... I need to make sure she's safe. Otherwise, my p—...p— I just.. —p-please....!" You bowed your head towards them after speaking as fast— or even faster than Leviathan whenever he's in one of his moods. They barely understood your words, so they missed the slip-up in your stuttering. You looked at all of them with your adorable puppy eye look. It was something you knew they could never resist, and something you very much needed.

Seeing a lot of ripples from the cup of tea in your hand due to your shaking, Luke grew more worried about you. You knew the young angel wouldn't allow anything bad happening to Soley, even when he wasn't fond of her as well. He was a proper angel in the making, after all.

"We have to find her quickly!" Luke exclaimed as he looked at Simeon and Solomon for help. Simeon nodded in agreement. Solomon hesitated. He looked at you, wondering if that's what you really wanted. When you nodded at him, he sighed deeply and agreed to help. He really couldn't say no to you.

Before the sorcerer could leave the room to prepare a way to locate Soley, he received a message from one of his pact demons. Barbatos himself. He then informed the rest of what the butler told him.

"Apparently, we don't have to worry about Soley anymore. Barbatos said that she's secretly being monitored, so if something happens to her, he'll be alerted right away."

Barbatos, huh? A wave of relief washed your troubles away, making you melt onto the sofa. Luke dropped himself on the spot next to you, and he rested his body against yours. He looked happy to see you again... It hurt. Why couldn't they look at you like that anymore?

After a few hours of catching up with them and getting to eat Luke's delicious cookies again, you headed back out. You agreed to let Cassiel walk you home, knowing he had something he wanted to talk to you about, and it was making you wonder. As if he could read your thoughts, he answered that question.

"Did you make up your mind yet, MC?"

"... Yes, actually.... I'm going to leave."

"I see... Back to the Human Realm, then?"

You smiled sadly in response. You looked around you and watched as the lights shone upon every demon in the streets. You passed by the stores filled with memories of you and the brothers. Memories that seemed to be too far away from your reach.

When you reached for the gates of the house, Cassiel grabbed your hand and squeezed it for a tiny moment. You quietly questioned his intentions before he spoke up, "When you ever need something, please don't hesitate to tell me. You may not think I'm as reliable as the brothers, but I'm sure I can help you in a way they can't.... So when that happens..."

The way the angel was acting made you wonder something about him. Was he always like that? Now that you thought about it, you've never had the chance to judge his character properly. You've never really seen him at the moments when he's most happy, sad, excited, or flustered. So, in the end, you ended up taking his offer. When you did, he smiled with content and waited for you to head inside the house before turning on his heels and heading back home.

You returned to your room, mind filled with thoughts. Disturbing, blurry yet clear, pretty little thoughts. Those were all you needed to pick up your pen and start writing on a piece of paper.

There, Soley sat on your bed as she fidgeted with a sealed envelope containing the letter you had just written. She recalled the sight of you when she had just returned home; you were walking down the stairs of the entrance hall, heading towards the front door with your packed luggage in hand.

"MC? Are you going somewhere?"

"Soley...! You're... home... Much, much earlier than I expected."

"Yeah, well... something happened... Never mind that— Where are you going?"

"I'm... I'm heading back to the human world."

Soley squealed with excitement, letting herself fall backwards onto your bed, hovering the letter she had already ripped open above her face.

"I left a letter for the brothers in my room... It's just on my pillow. So, if they don't see it tonight, can you give it to them tomorrow? I want you to make sure they read it after I'm already gone."

After she finished reading the contents of your message, she pushed herself up and ran out of your room. She rushed towards the common room, somewhere she knew the brothers wouldn't be around for long after just getting home. She made her way towards the fireplace and squatted down, carefully watching the flame dance before reaching the letter out to it. It didn't take long for the fire to engulf the whole thing, and the girl was smiling during the whole procedure.

The flame danced and danced and danced some more until there was nothing left of the papers but soot and ash. Soley jumped in surprise and got up on her feet when she heard the common room doors slowly creak open. She immediately dusted herself off and made sure she looked proper before facing the eldest born who had just entered the room.

"Soley, what are you doing so close to the fireplace?"

"Calm down, Lucifer. I didn't get hurt, I promise, so don't worry about me! I was just a bit cold, but I'm better now! Much, much better!"

"... Alright. We brought dinner from Hell's Kitchen, so head to the dining room. Everyone's already waiting."

"Okaayyy~!"

— — — — — — — — — — — — — — — —

To my dear family,

I just wanted to say that I still love you no matter what happens, and I want the best for all of you. I've never thought that things would go this way. Not since you accepted me as part of your family all those years ago. I really wished it didn't come to this, but it's too late for that now.

I want you all to know that I'm happy for you. You're all cheerful and content with how everything is, and... that makes me really happy...

I'm writing this letter as a goodbye. A goodbye to all of our precious memories together and to what could have been. I'm really sorry that I went with this instead of personally saying goodbye, but even if I did get the chance to speak with you, I knew I wouldn't be able to bear it. I can't part with you while I look at your faces, so this is the best way. And, if there was any chance at all, I wouldn't want you to stop me.

By the time you're reading this, I've already left for the human realm. If you ever want to see me again, I added my home address and contact information on here. Please find me whenever you want to because I know for a fact that I would want to see you again and be part of your family once more. But for now, it's goodbye.

I'll be leaving my D.D.D. with Diavolo and Barbatos, so please don't contact me there anymore. It would be useless as I won't be able to see your messages.

Well... this letter has gone off long enough, so I'll stop here. Just remember that I love each and every one of you. I'm looking forward to you reaching out to me.

With all the love and wishes,

MC

Overly Analyzing Fortune Street character dialogue (Mario and Luigi)

So I've spent a lot of time browsing Mario wiki pages (organized easy to read information about a current hyperfixation makes for great destressing material) and one of the pages I've been really into is the quotes from Fortune Street (2011)! I've been thinking about talking about and discussing some of the character dialogue from it, since some of them actually have some fun character tidbits, and after seeing this post from pianokantzart (please go check out their stuff!) I decided to go ahead and do so!

Today we'll be focusing on Mario and Luigi's dialogue, and dialogue that involves them! If you would like to view these quotes for yourself, you can do so here and on the character's quote pages. I'll mainly just be highlighting some of the fun ones under the cut!

Mario

"Brr! This ship gives me the creeps! Best to win fast so I don't have to hang out here too long!" (The Ghost Ship)

This is an area-specific dialogue line for the Ghost Ship, and I find the implication that Mario is a bit creeped out by ghosts/haunted places, seeing as Boos/ghosts are an enemy that have notably defeated him numerous times via the Luigi's Mansion series.

"Wow! What a fancy palace! But I still think Peach's Castle is the best…" (Castle Trodain) "Ha ha! I'm gonna do well here. Peach's Castle is like a second home to me!" (Peach's Castle)

Simple but cute!! He thinks of Peach's Castle as a second home and feels safe there!! This is extremely important to me

"Dooo-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooooo! Hey, I love this tune!" (Super Mario Bros.) "Doooo--doo-doo doo-doo-doo! That sure is a catchy tune I've got stuck in my head! Oh, sorry, is it my turn already?"

He also really loves the Super Mario Bros. theme! The theme that is associated most with him and Luigi ;w; I like to imagine he hums its to himself whenever he's working

To Yoshi: "I'll help you find your cookies, Yoshi - just give me a second to brush these cookie crumbs out of my mustache!" Yoshi to player: "Yoshi! Yoshi! (Nice job on that promotion, (player's name)! Here, have some cookies to celebrate!)" Mario's response: "Why no cookies for Mario? Can't I have just one?"

There's also a running theme of him wanting Yoshi's cookies which I think is so funny. The Legendary Hero of the Mushroom Kingdom cannot turn up a tasty snack. Some people seem to push back against the idea that Mario enjoys eating?? But I think it's such a cute characteristic of his (and the fact that he basically admits to Yoshi's face that he swiped his cookies jsadjkkdlsa)

"Not to look a gift Yoshi in the mouth, but I was hoping for more coins..."

Mostly highlighting this one for the substation of "horse" with "Yoshi" in this quote. Fun little world building tidbit of Yoshi's being the Mushroom Kingdom's horses.

After player warps: "Ever get a stomachache when you warp, (player's name)? That happens to me sometimes!"

Even though he presumably uses the warp pipes all the time? Interesting... (side note but because I'm movie brain pilled, you could potentially read into it more here for that verse 👀)

After landing on a Take-a-break square: "Heroes never take the day off! What am I supposed to do with myself - go to the beach?"

Bro that is not a good mindset let yourself take vacations!

"Thank you for your patronage! You're very generous, (player's name)... Just like me!"

There's a lot of playful lines like this from Mario, I like when we get to see his competitive side and how he has a teeny bit of an ego (he's still overall humble and kind, but he knows he's the hero of the Mushroom Kingdom)

After player buying his circus tent: "I can't believe you took over my circus, (player's name)! Didn't you like my fireball show?"

FIREBALL SHOW???? HE PUTS ON A FIREBALL SHOW????? I am desperate for any crumbs of reference to Firebrand (even though he likely used a Fire Flower for this but still)

To Luigi: "Hey Luigi! Stick with me, Bro, and we'll win this one together!" Luigi's response: "You got it, Mario! We'll show (player's name) some real Mario Bros. teamwork!"

To player: "Nice work, (player's name)! But Luigi and I aren't going to give up quite yet!" Luigi's response: "Right you are! The Mario Bros. are just getting warmed up!"

THEM........ 🥺💖 WE LOVE TO SEE THEM WORKING TOGETHER

To player: "Psst! Hey, (player's name)! Princess Peach is watching, so I'm afraid I just can't lose to you today!" Peach's response: "Mario, I heard that! But don't you worry - I'm the one who's going to win!"

Dude is SMITTEN for Peach and it shows. He wants to impress her! I do like that we get to see that Peach is also competitive and playfully rolls with it

To player: "Keep going, (player's name)! It's way too early to give up!" Peach's response: "Hey, Mario-what gives? You seem like you're more concerned about (player's name) than you are about me!"

That said, Peach clearly likes having his attention on her LMAO it reminds me of the scene in Paper Jam where M&L Peach visibly got a bit jealous of Mario getting blushy and flustered over Paper Peach

Bowser to player: "You're in luck! If you beat me, you automatically get to become one of my minions! That's the law around here!" Mario's response: "Don't listen to him, (player's name)! I've beaten him a million times, and I'm no minion!"

Almost all of Bowser's quotes that invoke a response from Mario play out like this; Bowser provokes or taunts the player and Mario immediately snaps back or defends the player. It's fun to see a version of their rivalry here, albeit one in a much more relaxed and lower stakes setting. They will get extremely competitive even when it's just a game for fun

Bowser Jr. to player: "You're just being a big show-off, (player's name)! I'm NOT impressed!" Mario's response: "Don't be jealous, Bowser Jr.! Sure, (player's name) is doing great - but you're not doing bad yourself! Try to stay focused!"

While Mario will do the same if Junior taunts the player, here we can see him being encouraging towards him. It's a cute little moment! I feel like Bowser's Fury enjoyers will like this quote lol

Peach to Mario: "Hmph! Why does (player's name) have all the luck? Mario! I order you to go out and gather me some gold coins!" Mario's response: "Sure thing, Princess Peach! But, umm..how?"

I mean it when I say dude is smitten. One order from the princess and he's ready to drop his competitive streak to go fetch some coins for her LMAO

Toad to player: "I'm impressed with your business acumen, (player's name)! I wish I was more like you… Mario's response: "You can be, Toad! Just keep up the hard work!"

Friendship between Mario and Toad can be so personal, actually... and more encouraging and sweet Mario! Never forget that this man is kind and caring before anything else

To Birdo: "Ouch! Birdo, you're charging me an arm and a mustache! That's precious gold I'm never going to see again!"

AN ARM AND A MUSTACHE HE SAYS............ this man is a DORK

To Bowser Jr.: "I'm surprised you're charging folks so much to shop here, Bowser Jr. ! Just like your daddy, you are!" To Bowser Jr.: "Bowser Jr.! You're just like your daddy. Always getting in my way!"

He'll be encouraging and overall gentler with Junior, but it doesn't change that fact that Junior still gets in his way a lot JADSKK

To Donkey Kong: "Hey, Donkey Kong! Would you mind if I paid you in bananas? Ha ha ha! Oh, I bet you get that joke all the time!" To Donkey Kong: "You sure know how to roll that die, Donkey Kong! Almost as well as you roll a barrel!"

oh my god he's so obnoxious sometimes you KNOW this man is telling dad jokes even if he's not a father. And it's a small hint towards the DK and Mario rivalry that started in the old games!

To Luigi: "Oh, Luigi! Can't you give me a special discount or something? I thought we were the bestest of buddies!"

the bestest of buddies I could cry.... it's a very sweet sentiment, even though clearly it's said in a bit of teasing tone here. I now HC that Mario calls Luigi his bestest buddy whenever he wants something from him

To Peach: "Looks like I need to start picking some flowers for your victory bouquet, Princess Peach!"

THIS. MAN. IS. SMITTEN.

To Waluigi: "I hate to fraternize with my brother's nemesis, but it looks like we're going to have to work together! Let's swap shops, Waluigi!" To Waluigi: "What!? Waluigi's about to win!? I don't think Luigi is going to be too happy about that…"

Interestingly, we get to see the Waluigi / Luigi rivalry acknowledged by someone outside of them. I do like the implication that out of principal, Mario avoids anyone who has beef with Luigi.

Luigi

”Eek! No one told me there would be gh-gh-ghosts here! I wish I'd brought my Poltergust 3000 with me.” (The Ghost Ship)

LUIGI'S MANSION REFERENCE!! An obvious one, but it makes me happy whenever it's referenced regardless

"Leaping lasagna! This place is even bigger than Peach's Castle!" (Castle Trodain) "This place is wackadoodle! It's turning my brain into spaghetti!" (Good Egg Galaxy)

HE DID IT HE SAID THE FOOD JOKE THINGS!!!!

"Looks like my bro really cleaned this place up! I hope they gave him the key to the city!" (Delfino Plaza)

this one is just, so pure and cute???? supportive Luigi confirmed??

To player: "Hey, (player's name)! I'm Luigi! Oh, you've heard of me? I'm so flattered I think I'm blushing!"

This is also so cute and a bit sad - he thinks it's amazing that someone has heard of him enough to know his name outside of just "Mario's little brother"

"This game has got my mustache all mussed up! Where's my little comb?"

Implying he carries a comb with him specifically for brushing and cleaning up his mustache! Which makes total sense, considering these other lines of dialogue from him;

"I take a quick time-out to trim my mustache, and someone buys up almost all the shops! What gives?" "Ack! One shop left? All I did was take a minute to trim my sideburns… I need to stop doing that!" "Who bought up all the shops? Guess I was too busy grooming the 'stache to pay attention to the game…"

A lot of people interpret Luigi as very neat and tidy and almost obsessively keeps himself cleaned, and this dialogue most certainly solidifies that! People pointed out in the recent film that Luigi's hair is also a lot neater than Mario's, which lends to this idea. Apparently more than once he's been so focused on grooming his mustache and hair that he's missed something important lol

"It's not so bad being in second place. As a matter of fact, it feels just right! I wonder why that is…"

Ohhhh buddy,,,,,, the eternal player 2 mood LOL

"One day I'm gonna dominate this district. Then everyone will see who's the real brains behind The Mario Bros.!"

JDSJKASDLDASKLA this is such a sibling quote. Though it is interesting considering many people consider Luigi the more strategic of the two

After player lands on a Take-a-break square: "You've been working so hard lately, (player's name). Promise me you'll take it easy on your day off!"

A lot of characters will gleefully remark that they can advance while you're on a day off when you land on a Take-a-break square, but Luigi seems to genuinely want you to take it easy and I think that's neat

To player: "Did Mario teach you to play this game, (player's name)? 'Cause you've definitely got some sweet moves, just like him!"

CUUUUUUUUUUTE Luigi thinks the world of his brother, so of course if you impress him, he will compare you to him!

After player builds a tax office: "Built yourself a tax office, (player's name)? That was a calculated move! Ha ha ha ha!"

"You got any hobbies, (player's name)? I'm into lots of things: golf, tennis, basketball, beating you at this game…"

DORK I am going to lovingly push him into a locker. This was the blueprint for "You just got a-Luigi'd!"

After building an estate agency: "I bet Princess Daisy'd be really impressed if I owned a few more shops! Help me out, estate agency!"

One of the most favourite moments for Luigi/Daisy enjoyers. Because it really is cute! He just wants to impress her!

Going bankrupt: "Bankrupt!? I'm gonna get laughed right out of the Mushroom Kingdom!"

highlighting this one just because every time I read it all I can think of is "they're beating my ass in the QRTs"

Daisy to player: "If you win, (player's name), maybe I'll invite you on an all-expenses-paid vacation to Sarasaland!" Luigi's response: "Wow, what a prize, (player's name)! I wish I was in your shoes!" Daisy to player: "Yay! You got your salary, (player's name)! I guess that means you'll drop by my shop soon, right?" Luigi's response: "Wow, Princess Daisy! You're good…"

THIS. MAN. IS. ALSO. SMITTEN. I find it so funny that both Mario and Luigi are so head over heels for their respective princess GFs.

Waluigi to player: "Hope you're comfortable in last place, (player's name), 'cause that's where you belong!" Luigi's response: "Knock it off, Waluigi! I'm pretty sure you're the one who belongs in last place!" Waluigi: "Luigi, (player's name)… Is there anyone they DON'T let into this thing?" Luigi's response: "Ha ha! You're one to talk, Waluigi! How did YOU get on the guest list?"

LUIGI, KILL!!!!

More of the Waluigi / Luigi rivalry, and it's interesting to see someone who is usually more timid and soft spoken like Luigi be so confrontational and angry addressing someone who is clearly getting on his nerves. Waluigi seems to be one of the few people who can really push his buttons like that.

Mario to player: "Nice job, (player's name)! You're a real hero - just like Mario!" Luigi's response: "I wish Mario would call me a hero sometime…"

The post I linked before delves a bit more into this, but Luigi has a couple of dialogue lines about wishing Mario would think more highly of him. It doesn't come across as out of spite or disdain; it just reads as a younger sibling wishing he could impress his big brother who he looks up to. But as we all know, Mario clearly thinks the world of Luigi and he even shows it in this game;

Mario to Luigi: "Great job, Bro! Ha ha! You're my hero!"

They care about each other and I will hear NO arguments.

Francis Drake Main Story

This is a rough translation. I’ll edit this if I find the time. Expect mistakes.

Drake stopped me, and I followed his lead and got into the boat.

Drake: "On your right is a very nice tower."

Mitsuki: "Hehe, that's the Eiffel Tower."

Drake: "That's right, the Eiffel Tower."

Just as he said himself, he hadn't yet memorized all the sights in Paris, so his tour was a bit clumsy. However, I found it enjoyable how carefree he was.

Mitsuki: "What you see over there is the building of the Paris Expo. I went there before with everyone from the mansion."

Drake: "Yeah, they're having a huge festival-like event."

Mitsuki: "It was fun. Let's go together next time. Vincent's studio is also around there."

Mitsuki: "Okay, next. The theater over there often performs Shakespeare's plays. Wait, why does it seem like I'm the one giving the tour?"

Drake: "Haha! You're amazing. I'm learning a lot from you."

He stopped rowing the oar and narrowed his eyes.

Drake: "This city holds a lot of memories for you and the folks at the mansion, huh?"

Mitsuki: "Yup. I was able to get used to and enjoy the lifestyle of the 19th century, thanks to everyone."

Drake: "Do you like this world?"

Mitsuki: "Yes, I do."

When I first time-traveled here, I was bewildered by the differences in time and culture. But now, the people I've met have become dear to me, and this world has become a place I belong to. So much so that I was willing to live here.

(But…)

Drake: "Then why the gloomy face?"

Mitsuki: "Huh?"

I lifted my slightly lowered face and saw him staring intently at me.

Drake: "Don't you realize? You seem to enjoy talking about this city and the people in the mansion, but sometimes you look a little sad."

(I promise not to feel down, and yet...)

He saw through my expression that I didn't even notice myself. He leaned his elbow on his knee and looked up at me, resting his chin on his hand.

Drake: "If you're carrying something, you can let it out here. You've been around here for a while, so it might be hard to talk to everyone at the mansion about it."

Mitsuki: "........"

Prompted by his gaze, I opened my lips.

Mitsuki: "It's true that I love this world."

Mitsuki: "But the more I think that way, the more I feel guilty about it."

Drake: "Guilty?"

Mitsuki: "Because my loved ones are in my world."

Family and friends. I had left everything from my past behind as I stepped through that door.

I really gave it my all to stay positive, but those lingering attachments and regrets kept dragging me down, making it difficult for me to start over.

Mitsuki: "I felt like I was betraying my world by accepting that I couldn't go home."

(Despite being treated well by everyone, I keep looking back repeatedly.)

(I'm so half-hearted.)

I clumsily let all the worries that had accumulated in my chest out into words, and he listened without saying anything.

Mitsuki: "Sorry you have to hear me talk like this."

Drake: "It's fine."

Drake: "You're ridiculously kind."

Mitsuki: "What?"

Drake: "You're worried that you're betraying someone."

Drake: "I've seen plenty of people get angry and sad because they've been betrayed, but you're different."

He said it as if he were in front of something mysterious.

Mitsuki: "I don't want to betray anyone because it would destroy the precious bond we've built."

Drake: "Bonds, huh?"

Drake: "No matter how strong your bonds are, there's always a chance the other person might betray you."

He looked at me and spoke again.

Drake: "I understand that your world is important, but it sounds like it's become a burden for you."

Mitsuki: "It's not a burden at all."

Drake: "You sure? The only things that come out of your mouth are thoughts of betrayal, guilt, and a sense of wrongdoing."

Drake: "You haven't forgotten or discarded that world. You're continuing to carry it while making excuses about being unable to do anything to comfort yourself."

(.......)

The words he said hit me like a knife.

He straightened himself up, and the wind rustled his hair and the feathers on his hat.

Drake: "If it's really important, even if you're apart and even if you can't meet, those feelings won't change and will remain just as strong."

Drake: "You should be proud that you have many important and irreplaceable things."

Drake: "It's your life. No matter how you choose to live, it won't be a betrayal."

(It won't be a betrayal?)

His straightforward words flowed like water into my chest, making all the worries and hesitations disappear.

Drake took off his hat and gently placed it on my head.

Drake: "Well, unlike you, I've always had this burning desire to get back at my enemies."

He playfully patted my head through the hat and smiled.

Drake: "If you're always thinking about those people and sacrificing your desires, you'll miss out on life."

Drake: "Or are there people among those 'important ones' who would call your way of living a betrayal?"

Mitsuki: "No! I'm sure no one would say something like that."

Drake: "Haha! You said it confidently."

Drake: "In that case, you should choose the path you believe in."

Drake: "In my opinion, living in a way that goes against your own wishes is the real betrayal."

Mitsuki: "Drake..."

(Even if I choose my way of life, my feelings toward those important to me won't change. I won't betray them.)

I traced those words in my heart once more, and my heart felt lighter.

(As he says, rather than being trapped in regret and guilt...)

I should cherish what's important and stay true to my feelings.

I reflected on my feelings and placed my hand firmly on my chest.

Drake: "I just had an idea. Why don't we throw some bottled messages in the ocean next time?"

Mitsuki: "A message in a bottle? The one where you put a letter in a bottle and throw it into the ocean?"

The letter was then carried away by the waves, never knowing when or to whom it would be delivered.

Drake: "Yeah, that. If we use it, the letter won't get destroyed."

Drake: "The ocean goes on forever, after all."

Mitsuki: "That's true. Thank you, Drake."

The smile he gave me was kind of glowing.

I squinted my eyes without knowing if it was because of the reflection of the light on the river's surface or because of my own feelings.

(A message in a bottle, huh? That feels like a dream.)

I hoped that one day I could make it come true with him by my side.

(Talking to Drake made me feel lighter, as if something I had been holding in my chest was flowing away.)

"You're continuing to carry it while making excuses about being unable to do anything to comfort yourself."

What he said earlier really stung. But his typical words and aloof smile freed me from the cycle of emotions.

(It's all thanks to him.)

I tried to thank him again but found him staring at the river.

Drake: "But I think it's amazing that you can think about someone or the world you've lived in."

Drake: "I'll probably never understand that in my lifetime."

He spoke in a hushed, mumbling tone, and his eyes had a cold light in them, giving off a chilling sense of vulnerability.

(Drake?)

Drake: "Well, I’m sure you’ll be fine, so you don’t need to worry about it."

Drake: "Real betrayal is much more merciless."

He suddenly wore a dazzling smile, quite different from before, and casually uttered those words.

(Does that mean he has experienced that before?)

Drake: "Even so, you're quite mysterious."

Mitsuki: "Huh? Is there something strange about me? I think I'm pretty normal."

Drake: "That's what's strange about it. You time-traveled, lived with vampires, and got caught up in ridiculous destinies, but you're just an ordinary girl."

Drake: "You worry, you laugh—you're just a normal pretty lady."

Mitsuki: "........."

My heart skipped a beat at his gentle smile.

Drake: "Maybe that's the sort of person who's destined to make a difference."

Mitsuki: "Drake?"

He suddenly leaned forward, his smile vanishing.

Do you have recommandation for phics where Danny save/help Vlad instead of the reverse?

Sure!

Keep in mind that when i talk about Danny-Vlad's dynamic i'm always refering to ¨badger cereal¨-as frienemy-mentor-pupil-hero villain dynamic and nothing else. So i'm going to recommend phics under this context.

¨A thing or two¨: Oneshot-This is one i find myself reading often again. One night Danny wakes up to find a ghost in his parents' lab, it turns out that ghost is Vlad who is pretty hurt, so Danny offers himself to take Vlad to his mansion and takes care of him. Link to the fic: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11457536/1/A-thing-or-two ¨Shattered Identity¨: Multiple part story. During one battle against Plasmius and Maddie, Plasmius gets shot by Maddie with a very powerful anti-ghost weapon that destroys his whole form and leaves his ghost core behind. Danny takes care of Vlad's core a la Steven Universe and Vlad finds himself regenerating to the first form he gained when he transformed into a half-ghost and having to adapt to this change.

Link to the fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/47044720/chapters/118520716

¨Bloodlust¨: Multichapter. Vlad gets cursed to be a vampire after he steals a legendary amulet. Danny learns about the curse and decides to help Vlad to find a way to break it. It has some interesting exploration of Vlad's character in some parts. Link to the fic: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/8560954/1/Bloodlust

The World Has No Right to My Heart: Multichapter. Vlad finds himself being tortured by the GIW and Danny goes to rescue him. While it is short, i think it is worth of reading. Warning, it can get pretty graphic since it involves dissection. Link to the fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/20996837/chapters/49932629

¨From the Jaws of Defeat¨: Multichapter. This is kinda Vlad's arc in AGIT but what if he won in Phantom Planet and still it makes him miserable. Anyways, almost everyone hates Vlad, a monster gets cut loose, Vlad sucks as Ghost King and gets his butt kicked but Danny helps him when no one else does.

Link for the fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/49841050/chapters/125817673

¨Paradigm Shift¨: It's multichapter story. The main arc for the moment involves Vlad being hunted by visions of his past and Danny and Jack finding out about this (mainly Danny). It is still on process and the author updates it every now and then but it seems to be building up to Danny helping Vlad in later chapters. Link to the fic: https://archiveofourown.org/works/6653686/chapters/15218512

I'm sure there are more out there but these are the ones i remember the names the most for the moment.

#danny phantom #danny fenton #vlad masters #vlad plasmius #dp phics #dp fandom #Bloodlust and Shattered identity have a lot of this #And Jaws of Defeat is like really good imo

Thanks for the tag @galaxycunt @jillvalentinesday and @kyber-infinitygems <3!! I've been struggling a bit with writing, so I'm making myself write something simply so its there. Which means I've started working on my professor au for Evie and Gale and thats what I've decided to share a bit of today!!

Not wanting to waste another minute, Gale made his way into the library.  Many people filled the library when Gale walked in. Not that it was much of a surprise with the start of the new year. There was a calming silence that filled the air, the sound of paper rustling, fire crackling, and electricity buzzing all around him. But what stood out most was the scent of old books, new books, and wood that had seen so many things.  Gale would have happily lived there if the school had let him.  Moving forward, Gale nodded towards the Librarian who was standing inside his desk situated in the lobby of the old mansion. The Librarian lifted their head, piercing eyes staring at him while he moved. They watched him a moment longer before turning their attention back to whatever it was they had been working on.  Gale simply shrugged and walked deeper into the library. No need for small talk when he was surrounded by so many conversations and worlds. That’s what he wanted to get lost in.  His feet carried him through the mansion into one of the first adjacent buildings. Then the next. The farther he walked, the less people he ran into or saw milling about the shelves.   Finally he found himself in a smaller portion of a newer building, a fireplace set in one wall, comfy cushions and chairs shoved in between full bookshelves. The lights and fire cast a warm glow about the room, making it absolutely perfect for where he wanted to sit and read…if it wasn’t for the woman standing precariously on a ladder as she reached for a book that was apparently still out of reach.   “Come on….” Gale heard the woman mutter, one hand holding onto the edge of the shelf as she continued to hold out her other hand.  Not that it was helping her balance much.  “Do you need help?”  He spoke without thought, simply wanting to offer her a helping hand but the woman jumped at his sudden interruption, losing her balance and starting to fall off the ladder from her sudden movement.

The story of two broken souls (Kaz Brekker x Reader) Part 9

Fandom: Six of Crows

Pairing: eventual Kaz Brekker x Reader

Warnings: arguments, gangs, threats, mentions of murder and violence, talks of Menagerie

A/N: Welcome to another part of Kaz series. My feed will turn hectic with both series being posted at the same time, but oh well... Let me know what you think and enjoy!

Taglist: @d34drapunzel @coldheartedmar @igakc

Gif is not mine!

Even after a full day off I felt more tired than I did before. But I still went to the Club before the crowd came in and took my place behind the bar.

I worked through the orders as usual, but didn't engage into conversations with customers or other workers too much. I knew being distracted will probably make Kaz talk my ear off, but I didn't really care about him or his Club today.

"He wants to see us." Inej said sliding on one of the stools. I looked up to her in curiosity. "Said he had a job." I huffed giving the customer his drink before throwing the rag on one of the shelves.

"Anything important?" I asked walking with Inej. She send me an apologetic smile.

"He took you away from the bar so I think so, yes." She nodded walking upstairs. I only nodded trailing behind the girl.

Kaz was sitting behind his desk with documents thrown all over it. Inej walked in first and stopped in front of his desk, while I closed the doors and plopped down into the chair. I never asked why Jesper and Inej never sat down in the free chair, but I always used that opportunity to sit down myself.

"I want you to join Inej on her night watch." Kaz glanced my way but I didn't react to his order for a second.

"Can't Inej take care of it by herself?" I asked which made Inej throw me a warning glance.

"I want you both on the job." Brekker said again making me huff.

"I ain't a Crow, Brekker. I work the bar, that's why I was employed for. I don't have to ran around doing jobs for you." I said getting pissed off. Last night didn't help in controlling my emotions.

"Inej, go ahead. She'll join you later on." Kaz said making the girl nod and leave the room quietly. I crossed my arms sinking into the chair. "We have a deal."

"I've been here for months and you didn't do shit to bring him down. Do you still really think I'm some dumb gang member?" I seethed glaring at him. He ran his gloved hand through his hair before meeting my gaze again.

"What do you want me to do? Can't really go against Dime Lions with nothing on us." He said slowly like I was a child throwing a tantrum. It made me grit my teeth even harder.

"I give you a month, Brekker." I said standing up. "If by that time you don't have a plan or do something I'll do it my way." We glared at each other for a second before I turned around to find Inej.

She was already on the rooftops when I managed to catch up. She quickly informed me where we should head and started to lead the way. I couldn't show her what I really could do, but I made sure she seemingly taught me her art of stillness. Now Kaz would send me on recon missions with her to keep me in form.

Soon Inej caught a word on the streets about a big job coming up. We followed the man silently, while they unknowingly gave away more and more details.

We went separate ways close to the mansion so we could gather more intel. Although I mostly watched over the guards and staff members so they didn't come close to Inej's hiding spot. I didn't hear much either since I constantly moved from one place to another keeping my friend safe.

When I finally noticed her shadows move away from the building it was already raining. I loved Ketterdam for its weather. The constant rain was something I loved. Most of nights like this I would spend perched on my window watching the water wash away mood and blood.

Inej was the first one to slid into Kaz's room through the window. I stayed out for a moment longer until I heard him greet her.

"What information do you have for me tonight?" He asked washing his hands. Inej stepped in front of me, while I stayed close to the window.

"A lead on a job. A big one. Enough money to change lives." Inej said, but I stayed quiet. Seemingly a shadow in the corner. Kaz looked at her through his mirror before softly shaking his head.

"It doesn't take much to change someone's life in the Barrel." He said not showing his interest. I huffed rolling my eyes.

"A million kruge?" Inej asked knowing it would finally get his attention. He straightened up almost immediately.

"What's the name?" I could see his curiosity through the reflection in mirror. He was already in his work mode.

"Dreesen. A wealthy merchant." Inej informed making him nod slightly.

"Dreesen. I've heard of him." I hummed lightly. Every good gang leader should know about people like that. The slimy rats acting like they're kings of the city. "He could afford it. The question is, what's worth a million kruge to him?"

"He's looking for a crew willing to cross the Fold into East Ravka and bring back something." Inej said making me turn my head in her direction. Guess I should've asked about the job before we came here. Kaz turned around putting his gloves on and I turned my face blank again.

"The Fold? Well, of course, certain death pays a million." He quickly glanced my way and I shrugged lightly. "He didn't say what he wants nicked?"

"No." Inej answered looking down. "But he's taking meetings tonight, starting at midnight."

"Tell me you followed him." Kaz said looking at us over his left shoulder. Inej smirked and I knew she was proud of herself.

"He brought someone in from the ship. Took a way back to his house in the Garden District to avoid attention. I would have followed him inside, but Dreesen's hired some private security. I would have had to use my knives to get closer." Inej told Kaz the story while I looked at the wall getting slightly distracted by my own thoughts.

"Private security. Anyone we know?" Brekker wondered with his attention on Inej.

"A Zemeni man. I think his name is Tendo. You know him?" Inej asked glancing to me too. I had quiet the memory for people's faces and names.

"Gambles at one of Pekka's clubs." I said lightly making Kaz nod along.

"I won't have leverage on him. But Pekka will." Kaz grimaced lightly and went to his desk with Inej following. I lightly rolled my eyes going after them.

"Kaz, I got this lead from one of the girls at the Menagerie." Inej said making me realise why she was the only one to hear about it before we saw Dreesen. Kaz glanced her way in question. "They tell me things in case you'd buy them out, like you did with me."

"I didn't buy you, I'm paying off your indenture." Kaz said leaning on his desk.

"You know what I mean." Inej said quickly. "This one girl, Kesh, she has skill. She's like me."

"I only invest in the one of a kind." Kaz said slightly raising his voice. "She isn't like you. No one is." I bit my cheek seeing the awkward interaction.

"So? What's our move now?" Inej asked walking to stand in front of the desk and I leaned on the arch beside me.

"You're the one of us who believes in a higher power." Brekker said straightening and looking at DeKappel's painting of the Fold. "If we're going to survive a round trip through the Fold, we'll need a miracle or two."

"Or a lot of money." I huffed standing normally. "Either way, I'm out."

"What do you mean?" Kaz asked squinting at me and I shrugged.

"I'm out. I did the recon job with Inej, I've got a shift in the morning and there's no way you'll make me cross that pit of darkness." I said crossing my arms and Inej looked from me to Kaz.

"We'll need you on this job." He said not breaking our gaze.

"You don't even know the details. You have no idea if you'll need me." I threw my hands up in annoyance. He pinched his nose showing his own irritation.

"Inej leaves us." She patted my shoulder on the way out as a sign she'll be waiting at the Slat. Second time that she was order to leave, because I didn't follow orders. "Why are you being so difficult lately?"

"Maybe because we made a deal and you didn't do shit yet." I said with anger in my tone. "If you can't do it then just tell me. I'll gladly get Blade back to life and cut his head off."

"Killing him won't make him pay for what he did." Brekker reminded in a raised voice making me groan.

"Then do something. At least let me mess with him a bit." I sighted giving him my puppy eyes.

"It won't work on me." Kaz send me a glare and turned to his documents.

"Oh, I think it would if you didn't try to distract yourself with papers." I smirked seeing his tightened jaw. "But fine, I gave you a month. And I'll wait."

"Fine. Now go out and figure out a way to cross the Fold." Kaz order not even looking up to see me frown.

"I've got a shift in the morning." I said reminding him of my real work.

"You're off the bar duty as long as the milion kruge job is on the table." He only gave me one look before waving me off. I didn't had much energy to have another argument, so I opted in joining Inej in the Slat and downing a drink or two.

So today is Namjoons birthday of which I didn't know by the way because I saw nothing on twitter and that maybe be because I'm on pjm twitter and they don't give a fuck. But there was nothing on the trends or anything. I saw jimin's IG post just now and only then I knew about his birthday. Happy birthday to a music lyrical genius a dime in kpop.

This got me missing BTS and their content basically everything about them. I miss them, I miss them so much. The hiatus didn't really affect me last year because when it was announced I was going through it academically. And this year I was so caught up with jimin and face I even forgot about them. But lately especially today I found myself missing them.

I miss run BTS I miss their YT content. I actually miss armies before the hiatus turned them to a toxic fandom. I miss their fun tweets and spaces on twitter. Alot has been happening in this second chapter that has made me hate some members well not hate per say but I don't like them either. The second chapter has revealed alot about the members and the fandom its self

There are some members who's personalities are just off like literally off. And I sort of like get why that certain member doesn't have alot of friends judging by the way he acts, he doesn't have friends not because he's an introvert but because he's got a bitch ass attitude personality

As much as alot has happened in this chapter I miss the old BTS the BTS before the hiatus. As much as I want BTS to come back of which they will. There will be a huge change in the group's dynamics. You can clearly see right now that jimin prefers jhope and Jin over the others in reality where as it always seemed like he was closer with jk and Tae. I know that their bond is deeper than it seem because they don't show us everything at the same time it might not. Sometimes there's no deeper meaning to something it is what it is. Because I'm here wondering that now it is clear pretty much visible that soulmates vmin is no more. Are they going to act like the divorce doesn't exist

If the group comes back are they going to act like jk is not preferred member. That out of all of them he's the one they see potential in. Are they going to act like one member hasn't received royal treatment that they didn't receive in their debuts nor in their prime time as a group. Or are they going to act like it didn't happen just like jimin's no1 which their refusing to acknowledge because of reasons only they know or is because till today they don't believe that he actually did that on his own idk. And then there's jk looking at his attitude now and all that he's said and done is he going back and pretend to be a sweet maknae. The one who's always quite in interviews. Is he going to pretend like he didn't really said he wants to be bigger than BTS' is he going to pretend like he basically said he's better than everyone like he didn't say he was the chosen one.

Are the members and the company going to sweep everything that happened under the carpet and pretend like everything is okay because it definitely isn't. If it ain't some members not talking about BTS come back it's some using the groups name as a click bait.

Idk if I made sense but I'm just curious about alot of things and I just miss BTS.

Overall jimin has always find a way to make me mind my own business and loudly remind me that I'm just a fan quietly. Because tae was Mia during his debut but he posted him on his debut on IG. He supported every member on their debut. Sometimes I think jimin does such things to people to kinda say he's got a problem with me but I don't. Or sometimes things are not as deep as we make them to be because they don't show us everything but based on what we see mhh mhh mhh

Again jimin has reminded me to mind my business loudly and that I'm just a fan I should know my place because I could be ranting that jikook is not real only to find out that after military they're moving to that mansion JK's building in itaewon because "we don't know everything"

This man won kill me chai

Things I expected from MHA because of the fandom VS canon

I started actively watching MHA last october, after dropping it years ago because the first two minutes bored me.

But in october I caught a fever and had absolutely 0 energy, so all I could do was resting on the sofa and watching TV. I decided to give MHA another chance, it looked chill and lighthearted after all, and I actually enjoyed it.

In fact, I enjoyed it so much I finished the whole thing in no time, and dragged one of my best friends along. In December I rewatched it with him again and ordered all the manga (including Smash, Team-Up Missions and the characters books). Now I'm up to date with every chapter, have merchandise, cosplays, read hundreds of fanfics and written a couple myself, and plan to go to one of the biggest conventions here in Italy all because of it.

I can almost say it saved me at the time. It wasn't a nice period, and MHA helped me a lot to ease my mind, find comfort and understand things from my own childhood. It gave me something to be excited for (like the weekly updates and the new season), other people to talk to, a creativity boost and even a job.

BUT!

I arrived in the fandom quite late, and the biggest reveals and theories had been already made (no, I didn't expect Dabi to be Touya, so thank you fandom for spoiling this :'D I was so mad!).

So here's a list of every difference between fanon and canon that shocked me - in other words, what happened in the manga that I didn't expect because of fans' headcanons. I'll keep this updated for my own pleasure v.v

EraserMic family & Shinso: I sincerely thought that Aizawa and Hizashi would be living together with Shinso and Eri (blame this on denki.darling on TikTok), and that we'd be seeing Shinso more frequently.

Hawks and the LoV: I believed Hawks would be spending some time with the whole gang, including Shigaraki, but they never actually met! He didn't even stay at their hideout, he only knew the PLF mansion in Gunga!

Hawks and Dabi: This is a tough one, as they're my supreme OTP. As I remarked in another post, they only share 6 canon moments together. Six. It's nothing. I was really convinced there would be more scenes of them together, also to build up the divorce betrayal scene, but there weren't. I started shipping them because of the fandom, not the anime, and only later caught up with the manga, so I spent a couple of days feeling really stupid and sad and questioning myself on why would I ship them if they really barely talked to each other. We don't even know about their first encounter! But eventually I sobered up and started shipping them even harder. Also, I totally fell for the childhood friends thing. Another stab in my heart when I found out it was purely fanon.

Dabi's past: Reading plenty of fanfiction, I thought Enji phisically forced him to train his quirk and that was the reason why Touya burned up and became Dabi, so when I read Dabi's past in the manga I was very lost, to say the least. I couldn't get it. Endeavor surely wasn't a nice father, but he wanted to protect Touya from his own quirk. He didn't push him! Instead, he pleaded him to let it go and focus on other things. It was Touya who did that to himself, and now throwing a tantrum because his dad didn't pay attention to him anymore. I started to dislike the character, and man, was I wrong. I reevaluated his whole story after chapter 350 in April. Seeing Touya like that, seeing him being afraid, alone, heartbroken and still wanting to apologize and put everything behind him broke me. And then he comes home to a household that seems to have forgotten about him, to a father that still beats his children, and that was his last straw, the final confirmation that his life never had meaning. Only then I started reading character analysis and understanding the truth. That neglecting children is abuse. That feeding a child with dreams up to the point they become his whole world and purpose and then stripping him from them is abuse. I was so blind to this and to my own childhood, because something very similar happened to me. Since then, I began relating to Touya a lot more. Not justifying his actions but understanding his pain.

Deku's corruption: This is stupid, but I was almost convinced he actually would have joined the League to be with Toga XD

What happened when Julius met LJ? What are your HCs regarding Julius when it comes to the rest of the creeps?

(I'm not sure why but I feel like julius would get along very well with liu and bloody painter)

Anon you are absolutely right!

Julius the Dressmaker + How He Met The Creeps

I feel like he was alone for a long time. He just didn't need another partner in crime or another person getting in the way.

He met LJ at the local Speakeasy. Everyone there was confused on why a monochrome clown was there. They started to talk and LJ saw right through Julius. "So, you're like a demon, right?" The question caught Julius off guard and had him questioning whether or not to leave or kill LJ right there. "It's okay, I'm somewhat of a deity myself. You should meet some of my friends, you might get along with them."

That's how he met Candy Pop and Jason. Julius and Jason hit it off right away, but it took at least another decade for Candy Pop to even care about Julius. It wasn't until Julius one day brought one of his creations that Candy Pop even saw potential in Julius.

With becoming friends with Jason, he became friends with Vine. They met by accident because about another decade later Julius came to visit Jason, and Jason and Vine were hanging out. Which put High Alert in Julius's mind. Was he already going to lose a friend? But alas, he just gained a new one once Vine saw how much Julius's design looked like dolls.

Because Julius and Vine got along well, Vine had Julius met Papa Grande. Papa Grande was very skeptical of Julius, and the two never really got along well. They are two lone wolves when it comes to one another.

Because Julius had made friends with LJ's close friends, LJ invited Julius to the mansion to hang out In 2015. LJ introduced Julius to everybody there.

BEN, Puppeteer, and Suicide Sadie all thought Julius was a ghost at first due to his complexion. They tried to make him out how he passed so they could make him meet Sally. Julius, though, never told them.

Jeff and Nina didn't like him at all. Indifferent, passive, and ignorant towards him, even. Smile Dog liked getting pets so he tried to get Julius to pet him. Grinny Cat also tried to get close to him upon first meeting.

The Proxies saw right through Julius and decided to stay away. (I headcanon that the Proxies are kind of casteist and don't really like the demons. Hopefully I'll expand on it later but it's a big thing that is hard to explain. Think of Hamilton though. "Immigrants, we get the job done." But with demons.)

Speaking of demons, there was a small power struggle between him and them. EJ usually keeps out of stuff like that, but Kagekao was trying to pull pranks on Julius as soon as he entered the building. Yeahh that didn't really go well. Since they always hang out in the basement and LJ has his own room up near the actually demon/deity floor they don't interact a lot so that saves the heartache.

Clockwork liked Julius. He reminded her a lot of herself and Helen, who she deeply admires. Any artistic person usually gets on her good side, so it's no wonder she liked him lolz. Him, on the other hand, finds her desperate and clingy. And where he hates women it's hard for him to respect her. ESPECIALLY because she's so outspoken and dominant.

When he went to leave the mansion after hanging out he found the cabins. There, he met Helen and Dina. Helen and Julius instantly clicked when Julius saw Helen painting and using a body for a reference. Dina took some getting used to. It took a few times of Julius coming over for her to leave the two alone. (I headcanon Dina has BPD which is me projecting but it really makes sense for her character lolz. So it's hard for her to leave Helen alone.)

Then, he met the Rake, Momo, and BOB. Did not like any of them. Found them too be "too ugly" and in need of fixing. Which resulting in him getting toxic urine on him, which he did not appreciate.

All in all, he made quite a few friends, and there's only a few he doesn't know yet. He still has no idea about Zalgo and Zalgo's children, which is a good thing. And Puppeteer one day wants Zachery to meet Julius. Even if it's just to spy on him lolz.

I hope these were okay!! I'm so sorry this post is so long I got so excited to talk about it because I have this whole timeline I've thought about posting about when the creeps entered the mansion and how they interact with each other lolz. I'm so glad that I got to post some of it with Julius lolz I hope you guys like it!

Hi! I’m not the same anon as before, but I was wondering if you’d be comfortable sharing what your experience with your Turned Mansion headspace is like. Is it as vivid as real life, and do you have to astral project or reality shift to get there? I’ve been recently interested in the more spiritual side of self-shipping, and I haven’t seen many people talk about it. Feel free to discard if this is too personal!

Thank you so much for the ask, nonny!! I don't mind talking about it at all, in fact it's a lot of fun for me!!

I've always been really "connected" with my F/Os, especially because of maladaptive daydreaming, sometimes I'd be thinking about something and a completely unexpected scenario with my F/Os would pop up in my mind, unprompted

When I first watched Howl's Moving Castle I thought to myself "Wouldn't it be cool if I could make a place like that?" And so Howl helped me make it, so it's almost like a little parallel universe that's stashed away in my mind!

As for what it's like, it's just as real as this universe for me. I can access it anytime, I just have to feel like it. Sometimes it's hard not to slip into it when I'm having a hard time over here, so most of the time I actually have to hold myself back instead of actively seeking it

The mansion itself is a single building in the middle of the void, but each person or character can imagine what the outside looks like, so it'll feel more welcoming and natural to them!

The whole thing is filled with magic essence and is ever changing, each character has complete control over their own room, being able to change every aspect of it and it's contents; for example: if a character needs to be underwater to survive, their room will be constantly flooded but essentially bound to the walls outside of their room!

I'm the host, and while I'm inside the mansion I have complete control over the building and my appearance as well. I usually just stick to my real life appearance (because I forget to change it 99% of the time)

Other than the systems I'll be listing below, the mansion operates like a magical luxury hotel

New rooms, furniture and essentials automatically form when a new F/O joins, that can also include their ability to communicate with the others, if they speak a different language. It's accessible to all and welcoming to all cultures, backgrounds and relationships!

When I'm outside of the building, in this universe, whatever happens to me is pretty much live streamed for whoever is willing to watch, as well as allowing them to interfere with my routine and to manifest themselves in the real world. Usually the most present in the real world are the ones I've been paying the most attention to.

Former F/Os can sometimes stop by the mansion to visit or stay for a couple of days/weeks. Some never really leave!

Here's the systems that help keep things in order:

1. The classification system:

As soon as someone joins the mansion they're allowed to see a complete list of all the current (and forming) members and what relationship they have with me.

Red names are strictly romantic F/Os, the shade of red expresses the depth of the relationship, the darker the more serious it is. It can all range out from a simple crush to being full on married.

Blue names are strictly familial F/Os, the shade of blue expresses the level of authority this character has, the darker it is the more authority that character has over me. It can all range out from being my siblings to being my parents.

Purple names are shipcest ties, all have the same authority and color, because of the romantic aspect!

Green names are platonic F/Os, they can all have different levels of closure and various bonds with me, but they do not have varying shades.

Gray names are forming F/Os, characters I'm still not sure I'm actually in love with or simply admiring. If a bond is actually developed they'll be added to their respective category.

Black names rivals or enemies. The darker the name the rockier the relationship is. However, these characters can still be romantic F/Os!

2. The housing system:

Each story of the mansion is divided by source material, the more invested I am in something, the closer to the first floor it is. So the rooms and stories can move and change by themselves.

Each character gets their own room, usually neighboring characters from the same source as them, as long as they're not the only one from said source or if they would not be a direct threat to their neighbors. So for example, Eda can be Hunter's neighbor, but not Belos'.

The whole mansion is filled with magic essence, so each character's room is unique to their tastes and needs. If one character visits another the room will adapt slightly so that they're both comfortable in their environment.

The safety system:

Some characters prefer to live in stories based on their age other than their sources, so that they don't feel isolated! This usually applies to younger F/Os, older F/Os or immortal F/Os. Considering that characters from the same source can interact with each other there are certain safety measures to make sure they won't hurt each other if they don't get along.

A character can state their personal boundaries and psychologically inform all others if they'd rather just do their own thing, if they're open for forming a relationship with other characters or if they just want to avoid certain characters altogether! If two or more characters form a relationship I can also be included if I wish to!

If a character is plotting to or fully disrespecting the other's boundaries they can be moved to an entirely new story in the mansion so they won't misbehave. If this behavior is directed towards me there's a huge chance they'll be completely removed from the mansion.

Christmas With the Starks

Hi everyone!! I have a very early Christmas fic. No shame. Soon to be cross posted on AO3. Enjoy! 💕

Pairing: Tony Stark x F!Reader

Word Count: 3.3k

Tags: fluff, slight angst

Summary: Christmas with Tony Stark is a little different than a normal family. Despite the holiday, heroes don't get a break from saving the world.

Taglist: @mostly-marvel-musings ❤️

It was Christmas eve. Usually, you weren’t a fan of the holiday season. It reminded you too much of the past you had tried so hard to leave behind. However, this year, you were content. It was your first Christmas with your new husband, billionaire Tony Stark. Yes, you were the lovely Mrs. Stark, and you were all too happy to change your name. Sure, it wasn't your first Christmas together, but the first one as a married couple. The two of you had decided to spend the holiday at the Malibu mansion, not wanting to deal with the snow and bitter cold of New York. Being in New York at Christmas also reminded Tony of his parents’ deaths. He figured being in sunny Malibu with you would be better. New traditions could start, and it could just be the newlyweds.

He still considered it to be your honeymoon, despite being married nearly two weeks ago. He was so busy finding every place he could fuck you that he’d ignored all of Steve’s calls, telling JARVIS to decline every call and take a message. Soon, the voicemail was overflowing with a concerned captain, but Tony remained unfazed.

The two of you were cuddled up on the couch together, sipping piña coladas and watching some forgotten show. You both were wrapped up in conversation, talking about memories from the past couple of months.

"I'm so glad Natasha was my maid of honor. I couldn't have imagined having anyone else beside me for our wedding."

"I still can't get over how beautiful you looked. That dress fit you just right. Your pearl necklace looked incredible with it. I am a pretty amazing gift giver, if I do say so myself," Tony teased. You felt a pang in your chest as you laughed. You had gotten Tony a Christmas present but you weren't sure if he'd like it. You wanted your first holiday as a married couple to be perfect. However, it seemed as though all of that was falling apart.

"Sir, a call from Agent Coulson is coming through."

"Decline."

"Tony, you know I can bypass your system."

"Shit, I know. What do you want, Coulson?"

"There's been a Ten Rings attack."

You looked at your husband worriedly. You had a sudden realization that this was what Captain Rogers had been calling about. The threat was here, and Tony knew it was time to spring into action. He looked at you, mouthing "it's okay" to you. It always made you nervous when he went on a mission involving the Ten Rings, considering they'd nearly killed him more than once.

"JARVIS, get Mark 22 ready, it's time for battle."

"We knew Iron Man would be ready. Thank you, Mr. Stark. I will debrief you when you return."

Agent Coulson gave Tony some more specifics that you tuned out. It was Christmas Eve, couldn't the world stop committing crime for two days? You just wanted a nice holiday with your husband.

The phone call ended, and you looked to a hurried Tony who was suiting up.

"Please be safe, baby."

He put his armored hand to your cheek, kissing you before he dropped his mask.

"I will be back shortly, honey. I promise."

He walked out to the balcony, taking off to fly to God knows where. He'd made promises before. Most of the time, he wasn’t able to keep them. Promises like “I promise we can get a kitten from the shelter” or “I promise I’ll take you to Build-A-Bear.” Sometimes it was even “I promise I’ll come to bed tonight” and “I promise I’ll drink water and eat something today.” The former set didn’t matter to you that much, but the latter set always worried you. Ever since being held hostage in Afghanistan, Tony hadn’t been the same. He'd never let on to anything, but you knew he wasn’t quite right. Having him out fighting the Ten Rings made you more nervous than any other mission he’d been on. What if they captured him again? What if this time, they actually killed him? Would you ever get his wedding ring back or be able to say goodbye?

Before you knew it, you were turning on a news station and pacing the floor. Lights wrapped around the tree and draped over the mantle twinkled in the window’s reflection. The sun had just set over the ocean, and seeing the dark blue expanse made your heart ache. You knew Tony was worlds away, and all you could do was pray he was safe. The news had nothing interesting on, but soon enough, the familiar red and gold was flashing across your screen. He was somewhere in Monaco, it seemed. Last time he was there, he encountered Ivan Vanko, and he’d nearly lost his life while racing. If Pepper hadn’t come to his rescue with his suit in a briefcase, he definitely wouldn’t be here right now.

Seeing Iron Man in Monaco caused you to panic.

“JARVIS, can I get an update on tony’s suit please?”

“It seems his suit is at 50% power and rapidly draining with no end to the mission in sight. I am putting a significant amount of effort into keeping him from going into cardiac arrest from palladium poisoning.”

“J, call Tony, please.”

You could hear the call attempting to go through, and then the line went dead.

“JARVIS! get tony on the phone!”

“I’m sorry, miss. He's declined your call.”

“What the fuck, Tones?” you cursed out loud to the walls and the still-wrapped presents under the tree, knowing nothing was going to get him to accept your call during a mission. He had to call you. You hoped it was soon. If he was going to die, you at least wanted--

“Honey?” the familiar hurried tone came over the house. Tony's calls were programmed to auto accept.

“Baby, hi. how’s it going?” You breathed a sigh of relief and steeled your nerves for bad news.

“Well, the bad guys are taken care of, but I have to get from Monaco to Malibu on 10% power, which isn’t just stretching it, it’s hoping for a miracle. I’ll be home as soon as I can. I love you, sweetheart.”

Before you could say “I love you” back, the phone had gone silent. Tears welled up in your eyes. Not knowing if your husband would even make it home made your chest ache. You needed him home, in your arms. Your first Christmas together was falling apart already. You didn’t care if he got you an expired, moldy fruitcake he ransacked from a dumpster for Christmas. You just wished he would come back to you.

8p.m. soon turned into 3a.m., and there was still no sign of Iron Man. You began to panic. What if Tony didn’t come home this time? What if he was dead on the side of the road right now? a million thoughts raced through your head, not one of them comforting. All of the sudden, the soft glow of the Christmas lights seemed too cheery. It reminded you of the brown eyed man you loved that still wasn’t home.

You didn’t like to consider yourself a military wife, but since Stark Industries and the Avengers were all intertwined with the government and military, you kind of were. You were glad Tony had never been gone for more than a month at a time. You couldn’t imagine how awful it felt to be away from your spouse for six months or more. Being away from Tony for two days had you feeling lonely. This particular mission, though...one hour felt like a week. He had been gone entirely too long. You had JARVIS turn on a playlist to calm you down. “Love in Slow Motion" by Ed Sheeran came on. You remembered the first time you played it for Tony. You two were on a picnic in Central Park with the beautiful spring sun shining down on you both. He looked at you like you hung the very stars he soared among, and in that moment he vowed to never take you for granted. It was the song you danced to on the boat the afternoon he proposed at Lake Tahoe. All the good memories associated with the tune washed over you like a tidal wave of nostalgia.

It's been a while since we've been alone

To turn off the world and the telephone

Need to tell you you're beautiful, 'cause it's been a while, and I apologize

I just get caught up in the rat race I'm runnin'

Chasin' a moment, I'm hoping is comin'

If I stopped and took a look around

It's in front of my eyes, eyes

Baby let's slow down time

Maybe just press rewind

Darling, that dress reminds

Me of the first time

“And I wanna love tonight, one on one by the candlelight. Over and over, we spend our lives living fast forward, but not tonight. Love in slow motion.”

The familiar tenor voice came from behind you. You whipped around to discover your favorite man on the planet. Your husband, Tony Stark. His voice was just barely above a whisper, the same one he used when he needed to calm you down from a panic attack. You ran into his open arms, and he looked nearly the same as when he'd left.

"You're home," you breathed out, all your worries vanishing in his arms.

"I promised. I'll always come home."

You pushed yourself back, not wanting to leave his embrace but needing to look at his injuries. As suspected, he had a few cuts on his face. One on his cheekbone, one on his eyebrow, one on his chin. The blood had dried up but they still needed tending to. You took his hand, dragging him to the medical cabinet that was kept fully stocked at all times in every area of the mansion.

"Babe do we have to do this every time? I'm fine. Everything is dry, I promise." Tony loved to argue about you fixing up his battle injuries but you knew even the smallest cut could cause an infection, especially because it's hard telling what he was exposed to wherever his mission was.

"Yes, because for the thousandth time, it's important to keep all wounds clean, dry, and sterile so the chance of infection is decreased. You knew this would happen when you married a nurse-turned-Stark CEO."

He'd never admit to it, but he was grateful for it. He had noticed he was sick less since you started taking care of him, and it probably had something to do with actually keeping wounds covered and clean. JARVIS would tell him there's a correlation, but Tony was never too keen on actually believing it. He did enjoy the extra attention, though.

You cleaned off each wound with hydrogen peroxide, then wiped it off with an alcohol swab. He winced every time but you knew he was just being dramatic, as always. After each cut had been properly bandaged, you were holding him on the couch. He leaned against your chest, and your fingers were mindlessly carding through his tangled curls. Your mind wandered to something JARVIS had said earlier, something about...palladium poisoning? Cardiac arrest? You worked to keep your breathing steady so you wouldn’t disturb a very peaceful looking Tony. You hated to interrupt his thoughts but this was important. You had to know.

“Tones?”

“Yes, love?”

You took a deep breath, not wanting to freak him out.

“Earlier, when I asked JARVIS for a status update on your suit, he said something about--” you were cut off by sobs. Tony was so young, you didn’t want to lose him. He still had caramel highlights in his hair from this past summer, no grey in sight. He had to grow old with you.

Tony shot up, immediately knowing what you were going on about.

“Palladium poisoning,” he whispered, sitting criss-cross between your legs. he pulled you into his lap, holding you to his chest.

“Honey, I didn’t want to worry you, so I was working on finding a replacement. I found an element that dad discovered in the 70s, but I needed to figure out how to implement it into my arc reactor. I wanna call it ‘badassium’ but I can’t get that patented. I have it mostly figured out, but I do need some help changing it out," he explained. You felt his breathing become more shallow, waiting on your response. He kept you close with one hand, the other going to wipe away your tears and tuck your hair behind your ear. "I'm sorry, baby. I knew I shouldn't have kept that from you but you were so excited about the wedding and this and us – I didn't wanna ruin that by telling you I was kind of dying."

His doctor had determined that surgery would be too risky right now. He needed to get his diet under control and cut back his caffeine so his body could heal properly. Removing shrapnel is no small feat.

“Then what the fuck are we waiting for? I can’t lose you, Tones. Not yet.”

He nodded and kissed you softly. "So I take that as you'll be my assistant?" he asked with a little chuckle.

You rolled your eyes and dragged him down to his lab, immediately spotting the new arc reactor sitting on one of his work benches.

“Okay, tell me what I need to do.” He gave you a signature Stark eye roll as you washed your hands and put on a pair of gloves.

“It's not that bad, sweetheart. This can wait a couple days.”

“Nope. JARVIS said your suit was draining power because he was trying to keep you from going into cardiac arrest. We’re not waiting anymore, Mr. Stark.”

“Alright, fine,” he sighed in defeat. His shirt came off and he attached himself to an EKG as a formality. Tony sat down in a raised chair and leaned back, exposing his chest and arc reactor. He held the new reactor in one hand and pulled out the old one with the other.

“Now, we've only got a few minutes, so what I need you to do is stick your hand down in the hole and grab the copper wire. it's just like Operation, don't let the metal touch the sides.”

“I don't think I'm qualified to do this,” you answered, hesitant.

“Nope, you're the most qualified and competent person for the job,” he assured. You stuck your hand down in his chest, feeling some kind of discharge in the cavity. Through all the squishy...whatever, you finally felt the wire.

“Okay, the wire should be loosely wrapped around the magnet. I need you to undo it and leave the magnet in,” he instructs next. You nod and work with your fingers as best you can without looking. You hated the gloves because you couldn't feel as well, but it would have to do. Eventually you got it and gently pulled out the wire. He gave you a smile as he plugged in his new arc reactor to the base plate. He drew in a breath through his teeth and screwed his eyes shut for a moment, then seemed to be okay.

"Babe are you alright?" you ask softly.

He looks up at you with loving eyes, a little smile on his face. “Pretty sure that shrapnel thought it had a chance for a second but we got it.”

Your eyes softened as you took off your gloves and threw them away, "Don't scare me like that ever again."

"Point taken. Thank you, sweetheart." He looked out his lab windows to see the sky looking a deep orange shade. Sunrise. "And seeing as it's officially Christmas now...wanna go open presents?"

"Oh, darling, you didn't need to get me anything. You're quite the present enough."

He looked at you with a funny look on his face. "Well, considering the fact that you got me a present, I figured it only fair to get you something."

You smiled on the outside, but on the inside, you were nervous. You had gotten something made, and then made something yourself. You weren't sure if he'd like either of the items. They weren't expensive, but they were heartfelt.

As you two settled in on the couch upstairs, presents in front of you, funny nicknames on all the tags, tony took your hand. "Honey, I just wanted to tell you I love you. Thank you for putting up with all my shit. I know you worry but I promise I will always come back."

You smiled softly. "I love you too, tones." You handed him the smaller of the gifts, wrapped beautifully and topped with a tiny gold bow. "Open it."

He tore the wrapping off to reveal a small white box, which he opened to reveal a silver toned ring, engraved all around with something. He looked at it confused, and you got nervous, so you explained.

"It's my thumbprint. I had it sized to your middle finger so you could wear it by your wedding ring. There's an engraving on the inside, too."

He held it up to the light, revealing the "til Valhalla" written on the inside.

"In Norse mythology, Valhalla is the hall where all the heroes and warriors go after passing in battle. It's supposedly beautiful. It's where I hope you go when you're 500 years old, because you're not allowed to die until I die. You'll have me with you til Valhalla, angel."

Tony had tears in his eyes.

"Honey, I… don't even know where to begin. This is the most thoughtful gift anyone has ever given me. You mean the absolute world to me and I love you so much." He leaned into hug you, resting his forehead against yours and kissing your nose softly. You smiled, whispering against his lips, "I have one more, love."

You handed him the slightly bigger one. He unwrapped it, trying not to cry again. You had painted him an abstract version of his arc reactor, circling it with "proof that tony stark has a heart."

"Good God these gifts are perfect, I love you I love you I love you."

"I'm glad you think so, babe."

"Okay, my turn." He handed you a semi small box. You could tell someone else had wrapped it because tony had the wrapping skills of a two year old, but that would be an insult to toddlers.

You carefully unwrapped it, not knowing what he could have possibly given you that you don't already have. On the front, in his chicken scratch handwriting, were the words "coupon book."

It was your turn to be confused, and Tony was carefully studying your reaction. You opened it up, flipping through the pages. It was cute shit, not actual coupons. Things like "good for 1 trip to Build a Bear to pick out whatever you want" and "good for 1 kitten adoption." There was even a "good for getting me out of the lab whenever you want" coupon, and it looked like it had unlimited uses and no expiration date.

"Tony, this is so precious. I love it. thank you thank you thank you. I love you so much, Tones." you cupped his face, kissing him. Before you knew it, he was picking you up bridal style, carrying you to your bedroom.

"Now, if there are no objections, I'd like to go to bed."

"That sounds good to me, babe," you chuckled, placing your head in the crook of his neck. "Best Christmas ever."

[remythologise]

You mentioned C-Dramas / K-Dramas that scratch that homophobic gay drama itch and, well, I'm shamefully a sucker for those tropes. Could you share which of those mirror that type of media?

LITERALLY SO SO SO SO SO GLAD YOU ASKED. ABSOLUTELY BLESSED ASK ANON THANK YOU.

Will say that it’s really not exactly the same vibe because you will get a SHARP CONCENTRATED DOSE of even more homoerotic shenanigans in the following shows, they are much more intentional (to varying degrees, although I feel undeniably so in every instance) than the western instances BUT it will scratch that itch because none of these shows have “canon” gay romance. This is very hard to explain properly because some of it is very canon, just censored. But I will use my old terminology — it is unmarketable gay media. To me. Despite at least four of these being created and marketed TO appeal to fujo trash like myself… it is unmarketable gay media TO ME!!! Sorry you’ll just have to take my advice that Vibes on censored gay dramas are Tremendous.

I will say because literally all of these dramas have the central relationship ‘censored’ in various ways do not go in expecting a Happy Gay Ending, though most (not all.) of these do have about as happy an ending as they could under the But-Not-TOO-Gay Circumstances. (Much like. Supernatural or House M.D. Shall we say. Journey not the destination…) ALL of the following shows are on Netflix, though it’s probably a better viewing experience with the subs to watch on Viki.

IMO you should also watch the shows in the following order. Also I could harp on about these shows for YEARS but I tried to keep it brief (I could talk more.)

THE DEVIL JUDGE — girl I love this show so much I don’t know what to do with myself. It is SUCH camp fun everyone is so gay in it (despite the canon het romance). I don’t even KNOW how to adequately describe this show it’s literally What If There Was A Dystopian Korea (Basically The Same Korea) And They Made A Reality TV Show For The High Court But Also It’s Mostly A Gay Gothic Romance Complete With Old British Mansion. 11/10 had such a fun time. THIS SHOW IS SO UNDERRATED ON THIS WEBSITE COMPARED TO—

BEYOND EVIL — VERY similar in cat-and-mouse homoerotic vibes to the Devil Judge but Up To Eleven on the cat-and-mouse thing. Literally was awarded best drama and actor award of that year. It’s not just a gay show, it’s also a VERY good show! A detective from a small town and a detective from the city get paired up to Solve A String Of Murders. Both of them think the other is suspicious/untrustworthy. 12/10 would yell ‘KISS’ at my TV until my voice was hoarse again.

THE UNTAMED — someone on anon told me to watch this show in like 2019 and it took me THREEEE YEARRRSSSS to watch it. I really struggled to adapt to the CDrama tone/format at the beginning but I’m SOOOO glad I did. You really have to get into it and flow with it but once you’re in you’re IN you are LOCKED into What If Game of Thrones Was Camp and Gay and Actually Good. SUCH good writing, character, relationship and world building. I laughed, I cried, 13/10 this show has been popular enough that you have all heard of it!

WORD OF HONOR — So you watched the Untamed and this was the thing everyone was recommending to watch next but wasn’t ‘as good’ as the Untamed. Well. Wasn’t as good TO YOU. I’M HAVING A BALL ON THIS BITCH! Literally of all these shows this one is my favourite PURELY because I love these stupid flirting assholes so much. Shut up. Sorry this post is incoherent. The plot is not as good as the Untamed but the banter/relationship is even more in focus and just chef’s kiss dynamic to ME. So 14/10 gay it probably was the biggest reason gay-vibes drama is now banned in China. Girl I am not literally not joking. All the danmei is in unreleased development hell. Help.

GUARDIAN — For the true die-hards (not on Netflix/Viki and got purged from the legal internet but can be found. In places.) SO YOU WATCHED WORD OF HONOR AND YOU’RE LIKE GOD THAT ENDING RIPPED OUT MY ASSHOLE EMOTIONALLY WHAT IF I FOUND AN ENDING THAT WAS QUALITATIVELY WORSE. DO I HAVE ANOTHER PRIEST (AUTHOR OF WORD OF HONOR) ADAPTATION FOR YOU. Production values ZERO acting values MIDDLING gay values FUN AND SEXY. This show is literally what if Torchwood was better and worse at the same time. The reason the string of danmei adaptions started I believe, because this one was so popular. I haven’t watched all of this yet I’m savouring it. Don’t look at me.

HEAVEN’S OFFICIAL BLESSING — not quite the same vibes as what you’re going for with this ask (not a live action; very much an anime and not finished yet) but would be remiss not to mention the VERY PRETTY AND GREAT adaptation of the series by the same author of the Untamed. Also on Netflix.

#PLEASE IF THERE’S A SHOW LIKE THIS I’VE MISSED OUT THERE.... LET ME KNOW.... #kira for ts #I’m not proof reading this I have to be awake for work in six hours HELP #imo all of the shows that were originally danmei are better in their adapted tv form than the original books… to me #I could also like. add more to this list if we wanted to add in anime. probably. but we shouldn’t #also not QUITE the same vibe #I’m so passionate about all of these shows but ESPECIALLY the devil judge and word of honor bc I love them and they are underappreciated #compared to heavyweights untamed and beyond evil #most of these shows don’t need content warnings if you’re fine with house m.d. or supernatural you’re fine with whatever these throw at you #ask #anonymous

D-DAY Chapter 4 | 85 Days Before

Felix placed two glasses on the center table and carefully poured in their refreshments. His silver wristwatch glinted in the yellowish lights of the penthouse, a hint of shine within his monotone fashion.

"You could've told me you're back in Paris," he said to his visitor.

Marinette graciously accepted her wine glass, crossing one leg over the other. "I didn't tell anyone. Not even Adrien."

"And you caught a flight? Why not use a Miraculous?" Felix swirled his drink, relocating the documents he was working on to the couch. He had been in the middle of multitasking when she came knocking on the door.

"My parents wanted to see me. So I can show them that I'm still in one piece after living in Gotham."

"You asked for a vacation . . ."

"From the Waynes, yeah." A small smile played on her red lips. "They're not that bad."

Felix arched an eyebrow. "I never said they were."

"You were skeptical. That's what I remember."

Marinette locked her gaze on a blueprint at his side. It depicted a circular building, three levels and one middle space. Each of the floors had the exact same set of doors. Nostalgia. That's what it invoked.

She brushed stray hairs from her forehead. "We should add a tree," she suggested.

"A tree?"

A tree. A symbolic tree with the tips of its branches tickling the floors above. It would creep towards the light, though it would never reach the sunlight. "It doesn't have to be a real tree. We can get a sculpture and hang up ornaments or tributes."

"How spontaneous." Felix sighed. Nonetheless, he still took the paper to write down a reminder on its corner.

"Where's Adrien by the way?"

"Asleep. He worked late last night. You know how he is."

Marinette remembered the boy poring over files and books inside the room in the Agreste Mansion that had been repurposed into an office. She could still see his mature expression, worn out by so many battles and sleepless nights.

"It's a good thing you're here," she told Felix.

"Because you're not around to coddle him?"

She shook her head. "Because if you're not taking care of him, you'll forget to take care of yourself too."

Felix fell silent, perhaps realizing that it was true.

"I came here first for a reason." She studied her wine glass, savoring the taste of the drink. "Not to talk to Adrien, but to talk to you."

She plucked a familiar brooch from her pocket and slid it towards him across the table. Four sharp butterfly wings pointed outwards from a blood red gem. It was the Miraculous that had damned all of Paris, the catalyst of its many destructions. "I want you to have this."

"You trust me . . . you trust me with the Butterfly Miraculous?"

In their first interactions, she had barely given trust to Felix, on guard with his seemingly malicious intentions. But he had proven to be an important crutch to his cousin's recovery as they worked in tandem to support him in the past few years. Felix had even moved to Paris just to live with Adrien.

"This is more about Nooroo." Marinette refused to tear her eyes away from the brooch. "We talked, and he said he wanted to reform the image of his Miraculous. He wants to help find Duusu and bring the Peacock back into the Guardian's care."

"So many crimes have been committed with the Butterfly," she relayed as Felix hesitantly picked up the brooch. "But it has a potential for good. Nooroo wants to make some kind of atonement even if I told him it wasn't his fault at all."

"I'm guessing he was persistent in that decision, yes?"

"He was. He even suggested you as a holder. I also think it would suit you." She leaned forward. "Will you be ready to take on that burden?"

"How are you sure I won't run off with this and use it for myself?"

She scoffed. "What reason do you have?"

If Felix were that greedy, he would've stolen their Miraculouses a long time ago. He already had means and opportunities to do it.

A smile twitched on his lips. "You're right. So how exactly do you use this for 'good' considering that its nature is to take advantage of people's emotions?"

"You can give powers as long as the ones involved are consenting. Or just strengthen what powers they already have."

"The Butterfly can do that?"

"Yes, if you have a firm grasp on a person's emotions. You have to make sure that their goal aligns with yours." Marinette put a finger to her lip. "In battle, I'd like you to stand back as support. We know that transformed holders can be akumatized, so I was thinking of helping us extend our timers or duplicate our weapons. I'll give you a copy of the Grimoire and you can always ask Nooroo yourself."

"Speaking of the kwami," Felix muttered. He took the step and pinned the brooch onto his chest, summoning the miniature god inhabiting it.

"Master Felix!" Nooroo cheered upon seeing him. He flew around and bowed at Marinette. "I thank you for giving me this chance, Guardian."

"You can call me Felix," said the new holder. "I take it you will be guiding me through my powers."

"Yes, of course! It's an honor to be under your care."

Marinette's heart warmed at Nooroo's enthusiasm. She'd expected him to focus on recovery after Hawkmoth's defeat, but he had been nothing but restless.

Felix scrolled through his laptop as Nooroo settled down on his shoulder. "I suppose I'll have to squeeze training sessions into my schedule."

---

Adrien gently took her wrist and turned her arm around to reveal the scar running down from the inside of her elbow. It was still there, marring her skin, reminding them about one incident among many.

"Why, what's wrong?" Marinette asked.

Adrien yawned. "When I get nightmares . . . I find out they're not real when I don't see this scar."

"You think this is a nightmare?"

He rolled his eyes. "Yeah, I didn't know you were going to be here since you never bothered to tell me you were coming back home."

"If it makes you feel better, I told no one except my parents." She squeezed his hand. "You still get nightmares?"

"Mmm, sometimes. I'm getting better though. Therapy helps."

At first, she'd been reluctant to leave Adrien alone, but she wanted to trust him to take care of himself. And Felix was there, along with the others. She was relieved that he was feeling better, even stepping up to do all sorts of work in her absence.

"How's Gotham?"

"It's . . ." She thought for a moment. "It's Gotham. I go out twice a week for the cleansing. There's a lot in there."

"So it's true that it's the most corrupted?"

"It makes sense if it is." Marinette frowned. "That city's cursed."

The Miraculouses have spilled remnants of power in certain places. It was not uncommon, but it seemed that Plagg's destruction energy had coagulated in Gotham, accompanied by the darker energies of the other jewels: the fox's mischievous illusions, the butterfly's control, the peacock's volatility.

Of course, she had no obligation to cast cures on the city, but it would be dangerous for those energies to creep out and spread.

She heaved out a breath. "I have to do it regularly to counter the remnants and it's taking longer than I thought. When I do finish, I still have to check every now and then."

"You can ask us for help, remember?"

"I can't. You're already preparing for D-Day. I can't add more to your plate."

A loud bang rang out from outside Adrien's bedroom, followed by a shrill voice yelling out, "Dupain-Cheng!"

Adrien and Marinette moved to the living room, finding their seething friend with her hands on her hips. Zoe popped out from behind her sister, holding up a box of pizza.

"Explain yourself Miss 'not even a call or text to let my friends know I'm back in Paris'!" Chloe huffed.

"I didn't want to bother you?"

"Didn't want to bother my ass." Chloe pulled her for la bise. "We are going out for drinks tonight and you can't not go."

"Who can ever deny you, Chloe?" Marinette chuckled before giving Zoe a hug. A grumpy Felix took the pizza to the kitchenette and called for Adrien to help bring the plates out.

"You are so lucky I haven't told 'Gami or else she'd drop everything and run to you."

"Right, right." Marinette waved the thought off, looking to avoid Kagami's wrath. "How's training with Zoe?"

"It's going well," Zoe herself replied, tying back her hair. "We're working on modifying the shield to hold detachable blades. Like those I can slide out from the plates."

"Of course it's going well. I'm the one training her," Chloe said. She passed a plate to Marinette, who was leaning over the box to pick out her slice.

"Haven't you done weapon modifications too before, M'lady?" Adrien chimed in. "With Multimouse's rope and your yoyo."

"It does need some work for both the holder and kwami. The ones I did were easy. Same with Chloe's. For the shield, it might take more time."

Tweaking their weapons had been a new frontier when their timers evolved to last longer. The yoyo and jump rope could be converted into staffs and split into two at Marinette's command. Chloe's top had been turned into a rope dart as well, with the tip able to inject Venom.

"Wayzz thinks so too." Zoe took a nibble of her pizza. "We're giving it until the end of the month."

"That reminds me." Marinette glanced at Felix. "Do you have room for one more student, Chlo?"

"You finally gave him a Miraculous?" Adrien's eyes widened.

"Gave who a what?" Chloe looked up from her nails.

Felix cleared his throat, drawing everyone's attention as he pointed to the brooch on his chest. Nooroo floated out of hiding to give a tiny wave.

"It was Nooroo's request," Marinette explained. "He wants the Butterfly to help in battle."

Chloe made a face. "No thanks, my hands are full. Give 'im to Couffaine."

"Oooh, Luka." Adrien elbowed his cousin teasingly. Felix glowered at him.

"You know what? Luka's a good choice," Marinette agreed, not fighting her own smirk. "You're both staying on the sidelines and working on defense."

Felix made a noncommittal sound, but Marinette took it as a sign of confirmation. 

---

Marinette opened the door of the training room, finding Luka basking under the moonlight while doing warmups. He had mentioned wanting to expand his skillset outside of the lyre, so he took up hand-to-hand combat, occasionally training alongside Chloe and Zoe.

Luka paused. "Still awake?"

"Still buzzed from the drinks." Marinette closed the door behind her. "Want to spar?"

He beckoned her to the mat and she shed off her jacket. It was a chilly night, perfect for a short session of training. To placate her nerves. To stave off the anxiety. To distract.

"I can challenge the winner of your spar." Kagami entered the room with her sword hanging off her back.

"Hey, Gams." Marinette waved. "You don't usually train at night, do you?"

"I wanted to tire myself out first before going to bed." The girl lowered into a cross-legged position to watch.

Marinette smiled. "You and me both."

She and Luka circled each other on the mat. In the faint lighting, his eyes almost looked like thin slits, despite him not being in hero form. She raised her fists up to block his punches as she dodged in sharp, speedy movements.

Luka slid down in an attempt to swipe her feet but she leapt out of the way. "A little birdy told me—"

Marinette snorted. "—more like a nosey bee—"

"—that someone caught your eye in Gotham."

Marinette stumbled for a millisecond, almost falling prey into Luka's jab. She regained her balance and switched to offensive, aiming for open spots.

"I have heard of the news as well," Kagami said.

Marinette's expression turned stiff. "I don't think it's going to work out between us."

"Why?" asked Luka.

"I have responsibilities. He also has responsibilities." We have obligations bigger than ourselves.

Kagami rested her cheek on one fist. From Marinette's periphery, she could see her analyzing the details of their fight. Then, she spoke. "As far as I know about this, you are not yet in a relationship. And yet you are declaring it a failure already?"

Heat crawled up Marinette's neck. "Even if we try, there's still so many secrets between us. I like him a lot. I really do. But I can't get carried away." She gritted her teeth just as she managed to hit Luka's side. "It's a disaster, actually."

"What happened?" Luka raised an eyebrow.

"We kissed!" It was before she left for Paris. The feeling of his soft lips, the touch of skin against skin were still fresh in her mind. "I can't—I can't push him away because I care about him but I don't want him to get hurt either when he finds out the truth."

"Why not try being honest? Tell him when you come back to Gotham?"

Her eyes darkened. She sped up her punches. "It's not that easy. I'm not sure how he'll react but it won't end well. I don't want anything happening before D-Day." She knocked back Luka with a well-placed kick but he recovered with a flip.

Marinette gulped. "I don't . . . I don't even understand how we ended up like that . . . a relationship is the last thing I need right now."

The trauma from Paris lingered, and she still had a job to do. She was in no condition to dedicate herself to someone else, especially when she was dealing with aftermath upon aftermath. It's probably the same with Tim. He also has a double life.

Kagami stretched her legs. "Is this what they call 'the right person, but the wrong time'?"

Marinette laughed bitterly. "Maybe? The universe loves finding ways to fuck around with me."

She ducked as Luka swung his leg above her head. She tried to retaliate but he blocked her in time. But with another strike with her elbow, Luka fell to the mat completely. He grinned and raised his arms in defeat.

"What will you do now?" Luka questioned breathlessly.

Now? Now, I have to make sure I'm the only one hurting and not Tim. I can't do that to him. I can't leave him just yet while he's reconnecting with his family. I need to stay by his side first.

"Now? I honestly don't know."

[megaawkwardhuman]

OK SO I wrote most of this starting at 2 am and stopping at like 3 also 4 am after listening to numbers by temporex for the fifth time (I was inspired by the overall vibe of the song link to the song if you wanna check it out) and originally it was going to be small bummer fic written only for myself where Guillermo did get turned by Derek and he goes back but nothing changes around him but I got a little too carried away so now it’s about (roughly) that and Nandor wishing for Guillermo to return after he left and didn’t return after becoming a vampire.

disclaimer: I'm currently clinging onto a free grammarly account for dear life and I tried my best to edit the nonsense I wrote instead of sleeping so if at any point this sounds weird I apologize! 

and with all of that out of the way I now give you Just Alright:

Guillermo sat in the same old bed he’s been sleeping in for over a decade. He thought when Derek turned him things would change but no not much changed when it came to the way he was treated. Things did change overall sure he was gone for weeks before returning to the mansion but in a way they haven’t. What it all boiled down to was the fact that nobody really noticed the change. Normally Guillermo chalked it up to them being assholes but the reason they didn’t care or notice this time around was due to the fact that they had gotten themselves busy while he was gone.

Laszlo tried to go back to his old ways but after the loss of baby Colin he found himself going over to sean’s place to distance himself from the energy vampire he help raise. Whenever anyone asks him about it he brushes him off. Due to him being away from the house most of the time, he didn’t even know Guillermo was back let alone now a vampire for a while.

Colin Robinson still doesn’t remember being a freak child at all and so he went back into looking into energy vampires just now without the help of Laszlo. He tried to get Laszlo’s help at first but after a couple of fuck offs he gave up. He still treated Guillermo the way he did before mainly to annoy him. 

Nadja had a lot on her plate. At first, it was having to deal with what to do now that the nightclub dream was basically dead then it was getting to the council building back to the way it was before to trying to get Laszlo to stop hiding away in the neighbor's house and actually getting him to sit down and talk about how he was feeling. With all of that, she didn’t seem to care he was a vampire now. I mean it was understandable she was doing a lot but she still treated him like a familiar. He wasn’t even her familiar to begin with yet he was still left to do all the hard labor for her. After some protesting and reminding her that he’s an equal now for the tenth time she got a familiar to do her bidding instead.

The only one who cared at all about the change was his ex-master Nandor. As for why well that’s a really long story. Let’s just say he’s the reason why he ended up back there.

Guillermo thought about going back at first. It was his original plan but he couldn’t bring himself to do it. He knew he would have to eventually to get his stuff back but he wanted to fend for himself. He knew he could go out on his own he didn’t need any big strong vampires to fight for him he was Guillermo: by blood a vampire killer, an ex-familiar, an ex-bodyguard, and now a vampire. He knew how to kill he could live alone and they wouldn’t care if he was gone. If they did someone would have found him by now and begged him to come back.

But in the blink of an eye after a couple of weeks of trying to live on is own only to crash at Derek’s place half of the time to just living with Derek (Derek needed a friend anyway), he found himself face to face with the entrance of the place he wasted over a decade of his life in. He doesn’t remember walking back just suddenly being at the door.

“What the fuck why am I back here?” he asked himself. He tried to turn back but he couldn’t. No like he physically couldn’t turn back. Despite not wanting to be there he knocked the door. 

“Come in the door is open.” He heard a voice he really didn’t want to hear say. He could also hear a few footsteps on the other side along with a few small sniffles thanks to vampire hearing. He opened the door and got a few steps in before getting tackled into a hug by Nandor. Guillermo was not only surprised but still had no idea what on earth was happening.

“What the fuck is going on?” Guillermo says extremely confused. He looked around over the vampire’s shoulder as Nandor cried into his. As he was searching he found the Djinn standing there with his notebook and pen not too far from them. Well, that explains it. Guillermo didn’t have time to be upset yet since he has to deal with the sobbing vampire hugging him.

Wait Nandor was hugging him willingly? Guillermo tried his best to pinch himself. “Ow.” well he wasn’t dreaming so yeah he WAS hugging him and he was hugging him REALLY tightly. If he was still human this would have most likely killed him either due to suffocation or Nandor accidentally breaking something really important. 

“Oh, Guillermo where have you been? I was so worried about you I- I missed you so much.” as he talked he cried harder and harder. Guillermo was honestly surprised to see him in such a state. He can’t recall seeing him express his emotions or saying how he felt ever let alone see him cry this hard. He was HUGGING HIM for fuck’s sake. 

“Master I like this and all but this is starting to hurt a lot” he knew he didn’t need to call him that but he still did out of habit. Plus he didn’t know if calling him Nandor would piss him off so it was better to be safe for now.

“I just missed you so much and if I hug you tight enough you won’t be able to leave again.”

Guillermo would be lying if he said that didn’t make him feel at least a little bit like shit. But in his defense, he thought Nandor would be too busy reading his books or whatever to notice his absence. Sure he wouldn’t be gone forever since he has all eternity to go back to the house to say hi or to bump into Nandor while out hunting and small talk about his times as his familiar. He didn’t expect Nandor to actually be hurt by this. He knew he should have known better but he did what he did anyway without taking Nandor actually noticing into consideration.

“You didn’t even leave a note. I thought you were out on one of your silly human errands, but when you didn’t return I thought you were hurt or dead.”

“Well, I’m here now.”

“And that’s all that matters.” Nandor slowly let go of the hug.

Guillermo wanted to say his goodbyes and get out as fast as he can but he knew he would feel like shit if he left knowing it would hurt Nandor this much he made his way inside. 

After Nandor calmed down a bit they ended up walking to Nandor’s room to talk. Looking around his room and the house overall while thankfully repaired the house was still a mess. Bodies were all over the place, candles melted all the way down leaving puddles of wax, and every other surface was dusty. It reminded him of when he first returned to the house after trying to leave this life behind for the first time. 

When he entered Nandor’s room it was messier than the rest of the house but considering the state he was in when he entered Guillermo could make an educated guess as to why so he knew he couldn’t judge.

“Sorry for the mess. When I noticed you were gone for longer than usual at first I tried to ignore it but I just couldn’t. I tore this room apart trying to see if you hid a letter or anything that would tell me where you went. It was honestly stupid of me to think you would hide something like that since you didn’t hide the letter you left behind last time.”

“I really should have told you why I left before…” should he tell the truth?

“Before what?” he looked at him confused then he saw his fangs. “Oh…”

“I paid Derek to turn me.” 

Silence so thick you could feel it fill the room. It was Nandor who broke it with tears slowly running down his face again as he spoke.

 “Why?”

“Look I know you view vampirism as a curse and I knew you didn’t want to turn me because of that and I know you’re not the biggest fan of change so by turning this way you wouldn’t have to-”

“Why did you not come back?” 

Nandor’s words felt like a stake to the heart. Guillermo didn’t know how to respond so he froze. Any word he could think of saying vanished like he did weeks before abruptly and without saying goodbye. If he didn’t feel like shit before he felt like the worst person on planet earth now.

“Master I-”

“DON’T YOU DARE CALL ME THAT!” 

“LOOK I’M SORRY OK!?”

“You think that’s going to make up for you abandoning me!?”

“I didn’t plan to stay away I was going to come back.”

“When Guillermo fucking when?”

Silence flooded the room again. This time It was Guillermo who ended it.

“Nandor look I’m so fucking sorry I didn’t intend to leave permanently I was going to come back and change everything for the better but couldn’t bring myself to go back I… I’m so sorry. If I knew I would be out for as long as I have I would have said goodbye.” In the middle of his sentence, Guillermo caught Nandor’s tears and began to cry too. “If I were you I wouldn’t forgive me.” 

Nandor went up to him and cupped his right cheek with his hand wiping away a tear. “Oh my sweet sweet Guillermo I knew you wanted it so bad but I didn’t turn you not because being a vampire is a curse. I didn’t turn you cause then you would have left. I know once you were one you would have no purpose here anymore. it was selfish sure but fuck I just couldn’t stand the thought of you leaving and I thought if I kept you busy you wouldn’t leave. Making excuses to keep you as a human, promoting you to bodyguard when your life was at risk, making turning you into a long trip all of it was to keep you by my side for as long as I can. When you were shipped off to England by Laszlo and I ended up traveling alone I was left to think about why I did this. Why I wanted you to stay for so long and when I realized why I didn’t want to think about it. So when we all came back as I was helping you out after you fell into the water filled basement I used finding someone to marry to cover up what I found out” it clicked in Guillermo’s head what he was getting at but he let him continue. “I was hoping every day that you would stop me from going through with the wedding, I made every task hard in hopes it would stop you and, when everyone was objecting I was hoping you would be in that line. I wanted you to stop me causes…I love you Guillermo so so much. I just couldn’t bring myself to fully accept it until you left.” 

Guillermo nuzzled into Nandor’s hand as he began to cry harder “I love you too.”

Nandor pulled him into a kiss.

They could get angry at each other for what they had done another time. For now, all they wanted to do was hug and be glad that they could express how they feel for hopefully not the last time.

And it wasn’t time flew by and they slowly vented out their feelings to each other. They had their scheduled yelling match about what they had both done to each other once all the tears were fully over a few days later. But what had started as them fighting with their tongues figuratively turned into fighting with their tongues literally. Needless to say, they forgave each other quickly after that. As for what they were now they settled on boyfriends. it felt weird at first to say but after a while, the word felt great coming out of their mouths.

Not much has changed really looking back as he sat on his old bed. Laszlo was still horny, Colin was still annoying and Nadja would kill him if he boiled her down into one word even if it was just in his head. But as he sees Nandor take a box of his stuff up to their new room he's glad he at least made one change. Considering he has all eternity to help the others for now he’ll take this as a win. 

“Guillermo, what are you doing?”

“Oh just thinking that’s all.” 

“You know I was doing some thinking too and I was thinking maybe I can give you my last wish.”

“How thought full.” he gave him a peck on the cheek. “You know I think I already know what I’m going to wish for.”

“May I ask what that wish might be?”

“A coffin big and wide enough for the two of us,” Guillermo said with the biggest grin on his face.

[starry-blue-echoes]

Apologies for sending so many asks but I have Many Thoughts about Jonathan and none of the energy to be writing fic with them as of late- I'm working on a fic myself featuring Jonathan somehow getting his body back from Dio post part 3 and like. My fic has his soul just reawakening in Dio's head on his body but just Many Thoughts on Jonathan in part 3+

Perhaps an AU where Dio keeps Jona's head with him and turns it, and he's largely just a helpless head- maybe Jotato finds him in the mansion and he tries to help. Maybe Dio tries to use him against the crusaders somehow. Maybe he can grow his body back after Dio's killed and Holly willingly offers some blood to help the vampire head regenerate. Maybe he can't and gets a robot body instead.

He'd probably look for Dio's kids too, once he's aware of the possibility. Perhaps eventually find all four (that we know of.)

no need to apologize, I love seeing everyone’s thoughts! And honestly, Jonathan is so Shaped, he’s amazing ✨

and I actually do have an AU like this :DDD!!! I have only mentioned it Once(1) but it exists, and the name is self explanatory, being the Jonathan Lives AU

But also, holy shit you got like. So many pieces correct. I’ve talked about this au a BUNCH in DMs, and Jesus Christ you got almost all of it on point, even the robot body

The only real “difference” is that’s it’s Polnareff and Iggy who find Jonathan when trying to beat Vanilla Ice. There’s a bit of panic at first because holy fuck there’s a talking head but Jonathan very quickly proves to be on their side and is able to help. Iggy unfortunately still dies because….. well, he’s still a head and is still trying to figure out how to control his Stand

And yeah! Jonathan has The Passion :D I’ve already explained how I think it can differ from Hermit Purple in this post, but in this AU The Passion has an extra use! Essentially Jonathan can coil and lace the vines together to make a body. It’s very clearly made of vines, and he can’t really use it around non-Stand users because it’ll look like he’s just a floating head, but it’s useful in combat

The robot body is interesting too. It actually takes a bit for them to get him the body because….. well, it’s gonna take a while to build a fully functioning one, and since Jonathan doesn’t want to spend all that time hidden away from everything(he’d done more than enough of that under the ocean with Dio thank you very much), he basically ends up getting a mannequin body and a wheelchair to use in public. He uses The Passion to move it around and it allows him a certain amount of agency and independence he’s been longing for

And where does he stay while he’s getting used to modern society and waiting for his robot body?

Morioh :)

And you BET he befriends a certain single mom and her little pompadoured son

And also like you mentioned, WAAAAY later he ends up going with Koichi to Italy and ends up joining the chaos there because Family BondingTM :D

He accidentally scares the shit out of the Bucci Gang :DDD

Ikemen Villains- William Rex Route Part 3 Summary

‼️I am using a screen translator app to play, so absolutely no guarantees that this is actually what happened. Also I'm doing this for fun and for myself to look back on when I inevitably forget things, so it isn't very fancy‼️

This summary is about 900 words!!

⚠️Trigger Warnings: none that I noticed, if I need to add any please let me know!! ⚠️

Part 2 Summary

The fun place that William takes Kate to is a mansion where many people are drinking and socializing. Kate notices that there are people of all social statuses gathered there and asks Will if that's the purpose of this place, a place for people to socialize regardless of status. He affirms this and adds that it's inspired by coffee houses that were popular until the 18th century. It's named the 'Mad Tea Party' after Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. There are only two rules: Respect others and no financial transactions. Kate asks if the mansion belongs to William and he admits that it does, but he just owns the land and building; there's a separate manager.

The patrons begin greeting and speaking to William. A business man thanks him for his help the other day. A woman comments that it's rare for him to be there and asks if he will play the piano tonight, and then offers Will a women's suffrage pamphlet when he greets her and asks about the stack she has. Kate notices how interested everyone seems in William and how he is going around exchanging friendly words with everyone. He tells Kate that she is the only one there who knows his secret.

Kate sees that a reporter, Brian Bennett, that she admires the work of is there. Will notices her attention on him and asks if she knows him. She's met him briefly through work before, but she doubts he remembers her. He does research on politicians and writes in-depth articles on them; he crushes the strong and uplifts the weak, always on the side of the people. William agrees that his strong sense of justice and ability to take action are admirable qualities and suggests that Kate go talk to him. She declines, using the analogy that Mr. Bennett is an actor on the stage and she is a mere audience member.

William then says that they should work a little magic, then. He beckons a confused Kate into the corner of the room and backs her against the wall and intimidates her, saying no matter how loud she shouts no one will come help her. She calls bullshit, and he points out that she should have thought that he might have spent all day planning to lure her here, right? She ends up calling out "Please stop!"

Brian Bennett shows up to help her, saying it's surprising that "Earl Rex" would do such a thing. William steps away as soon as he shows up, asking if Brian would take Kate off of his hands while he goes to calm down. He winks at Kate as they leaves. 

Brian introduces himself and remembers Kate's name from the time they had met before. He says that the director of the post office was surprised that she bad been summoned to the palace so suddenly, which was the cover-up being used for her stay with Crown. She compliments his writing, saying she's a fan of his work. He thanks her and gives her his business card, saying maybe he should interview her as a lady that drives even sir Rex crazy. 

William starts playing the piano, and Kate asks Brian how he knows him. He says that William invited him here, they met when he was first starting out as a reporter. He uses this place where people of all backgrounds meet to gather information. He respects William, saying he doesn't care about status or background but about supporting someone he likes. He also comments that this is the first time he's ever seen William approach a woman like that, usually he's the one being approached.

Kate thinks about the ruthless assassin she had seen last night, and the kind man she's seeing now. She wonders which is the real William. She thinks back to what Liam had said earlier that day about William's incident and wonders if Brian would know anything about it. When she asks, he says that it didn't get much coverage in the news due to government pressure, and when asked about it William just smiles and says nothing. In social circles the topic is taboo, but Brian can send Kate a letter later.

Brian then asks Kate about the reason for her summoning to the palace, to which she responds that she is not allowed to say. He wonders if she would get in trouble if he asks further, so he does not press the issue, and Kate is thankful. 

After exchanging goodbyes with Brian, Kate gives up her seat to someone else and sits down by the grand piano where William is playing. She thanks him, and he says he was just doing bad things, but did she enjoy herself? 

Kate finds herself able to laugh very naturally. She thinks that her vigilance shouldn't go down to zero, but she can afford to relax a bit more in William's presence after what she's seen of him today.

When they get back to the castle it's midnight, and William walks Kate to her room. He wonders what crimes of his she'll write about in her report, and he's sad he can't see it. She asks if he even had any sins tonight, and he asks what she thinks.
