29: THE SLEEPOVER.
YUUTA X READER
──────────────
Today is the day.
Saturday! Which also means the sleepover.
But as of right now, it's 11am in the morning, you scrolling through your phone as you hear commotion outside your dorm.
Apparently Nobara told Maki and yourself to stay inside your dorms but didn't give a reason why, I think you found out the reason now.
You got off your bed and decided to peak out to see what's happening and was greeted with other students outside while Nobara, blinded by her own groceries, trying to find the way towards her dorm.
"..Do you need help or..?" You asked the girl as she slowly passed by.
When her ears caught the sound of your voice, her head whipped in your direction as she ordered you to get back inside.
And that you did.
──────────────
It's now 1pm, still inside your dorm, you got a notification from the group chat:
inumaki: when are we suppose to meet up.
maki: when can I leave my room.
you: SAME
yuuta: leave your room?
maki: she made us stay inside.
inumaki: ew does that mean you haven't showered🤢
you: I did earlier no one stinks here besides yourself.
maki: yeah what she said
inumaki: yuuta are you seeing this.
yuuta: yeah
inumaki: do something😞😞
yuuta: no thanks bye.
inumaki: WHAT
nobara: STOP.SPWAKONG
maki: does no one here speak english?
inumaki: WHEN DO WE MEET UP.
nobara: AT 6PM SHUTUP.
inumaki: okay!
you: dang..
──────────────
Time passed by slowly but finally, it was almost 6pm so you decided to start packing.
You packed the normal things you need for a sleepover and an extra, the plushie Yuuta bought you!
You changed your clothes into your pj's and wore your very nice sleeping slippers.
And finally, you left your room and began walking towards Nobara's.
You knocked on her door and waited outside.
You heard shuffling inside and finally she opened the door.
"Y/n? Why are you here so early it's only 5:59.." She mumbled.
"My bad..?"
She shrugged her shoulders as she let you inside, leaving you as she went back to do whatever she was doing.
Even though you haven't entered her dorm room before, you could notice that alot of things was shifted around, and built.
Before you could ask her about it, you noticed that her bin was filled, probably from all the groceries she brought.
"I'm gonna take out your trash if you don't mind." You brought up, she didn't move but gave you a thumbs up.
As you left and made your way to throw the trash bag away you found Inumaki.
"The sleepover is the other way, also why do you have a trash bag?" He asked you, following behind as you throw the bag away and began to walk back inside.
"Why are you even near the trash..?" You answered but with a question.
He just shrugged, but you also noticed that he has not one but two bags and one of the bags was a whole suitcase.
"Are you moving out your dorm? Why do you have so much."
"I brought my own entertainment... that is my PS5."
You blinked at him then just began speed walking leaving him to follow behind.
After randomly chatting, you both made it back to her room, the door opened before you could even knock.
"Oh you're back. Why is Inumaki with you I thought you took out trash?" Nobara asked as you both entered.
"He was hanging around the dumpster." You mumbled.
"Was not."
──────────────
Finally, everyone had arrived and Nobara happily brought you all into her odd blanket fort in the middle of the room.
"In here we are going to play games! Isn't that exciting!!?" She excitedly exclaimed.
"What kind of games..?" Megumi asked.
"Sleepover games duh."
After replying back to Megumi, she opened up her phone and then spoke up again.
"Okay, first game we play is Never have I ever! But with stuffing your face with marshmallows isn't that fun." She smiled.
Basically what she means is if you did whatever the other person said, you put a marshmello in your mouth like the chubby bunny game.
"The more marshmallows in your mouth, the less you can talk meaning you lose. Let's play!"
As soon as she finished spoke, Inumaki smacked the pillow that he was holding and spoke up:
"NEVER HAVE I EVER STOLE MY BEST FRIEND."
It was targeted at you. because he's literally staying right at you.
"First of all I stole no one, second of all he spoke to me first." You said, then finally placed the marshmallow in your mouth.
He began mocking you. You was about to throw your pillow at him until Megumi pulled you back.
"Never have I ever stole Leon merchandises."
"Ok. and for your information, I brought them here for you but I'm gonna keep them."
"WHAT?"
He pretended that he couldn't talk, pointing at the marshmallow in his mouth.
"..You still need to speak anyways.." You mumbled.
"Never have I ever hid in a bush, in public."
Inumaki stared at the boy for a bit then placed the marshmallow in his mouth.
"You hid in bushes..?" Yuji asked.
"We don't talk about that.NEVER HAVE I EVER STALKED PEOPLE ON A DATE."
Nobara let out a frustrated sigh.
"WHY ARE WE TARGETING EACH OTHER? LETS PLAY ANOTHER GAME."
──────────────
The other game was truth or dare, the classic one!
Nobara started this time.
"Maki, truth or dare?"
"Truth.."
"Okay! Do you like me?" Nobara asked, fluttering her eyelashes.
"Dare."
"THATS MEAN."
Maki smiled at her reaction then answered her.
"Yeah I like you, I like everyone."
Nobara just stared at her then rolled her eyes.
"Yuji, truth or dare?"
He smirked, then said dare.
Maki sighed.
"..I dare you to do a spin the bottle right now.." She mumbled.
"You dare him to what?" You asked but got ignored.
Yuji grabbed a bottle from behind him that you didn't even notice he had and placed it in the middle.
He began to spin the bottle and originally it landed on Megumi and Inumaki but before you could even ask what's about to happen now, Nobara quickly shifted the bottle to make it look like it landed on both you and Yuuta.
"What-"
"DANG, guess we have to put you and Yuuta in the bathroom for 7 minutes!"
"I thought we was playing truth or dare?" Yuuta asked.
"I thought we was playing spin the bottle?-"
"STOP THINKING AND GET IN THE ROOM"
"I thought it was Megumi and-"
Yuji shut you up as he dragged you into the storage room, Inumaki dragging Yuuta behind him as well.
You both didn't get any say in this as the door was shut and locked.
"What do we do now..?"
"I don't know.." Yuuta mumbled.
The silence hit until you both heard the sound of a movie starting.
"Are they watching a movie..?" You asked.
"..yes.."
──────────────
A short time passed and both you and Yuuta had decided to sit on the floor.
"Y/N.." Yuuta whispered.
You turned your head in his direction.
"Wanna hear a secret?" He asked.
You nodded.
He went silent for a bit, causing you to worry a bit.
"For a while now, I knew you liked me." He started up again.
"Oh.."
Out of all the secrets you wished to hear, that wasn't the one you wanted.
But before you could answer him, his shoulder pressed against yours.
"For a while now, even before we spoke to each other, I always looked around in school for you. I noticed that you only spoke to Megumi and Maki then I later found it's because you three are related. I also noticed that you always kept to yourself, Maki told me that's because you're a really shy person, she really wanted you to open up soon. I wanted to help but not in the way that I did when I found out that you had a "crush" on Yuji. I did it because I wanted to make you feel happy but I would've never known that you actually liked me back instead and not him."
Yuuta finished his small speech as he turned to face you, noticing the shocked look on your face.
"I'm just really happy that I found out you liked me back." He ended with a smile on his face.
He stared at the ring on his finger as he felt you leaning your head on his.
"I didn't know you liked me back.." You mumbled.
You both sat in silence, blushing as smiles grew on each other faces.
Right now, you felt the happiest, even if it's in a storage room with a broom next to you, as long as Yuuta is there you didn't really cared.
The moment was ruined though, by the sound of someone mimicking the sounds of throwing up.
You both failed to notice that the movie in the background stopped as shuffling was being heard.
Slowly, you both saw the storage door opened as Yuji, Inumaki and Nobara quickly tried to escape and made their way back into the blanket fort, trying to hide their giggles.

May I request The Brothers getting patted on the head and called "my best boy" by their s/o?
Of course! Sorry if it's a bit short but I didn't had that great idea for it... but I still hope you'll enjoy this one <3
Also I totally wasn't just admiring how big of a cutie Beel is in his part-
Reader call brothers their best boy
TagList: @indi-has-fallen @miya-akane @vodka-glrl
Tumblr media
⊱ I said it once and I WILL repeat it... LUCIFER HAS BIG ASS EGO, DON'T BOOST IT EVEN MORE
⊱ alright so after we peaceful agreed that it's boosting his ego, let's go with everything else...
⊱ when you pat him on head, he just looked at you with confused look
"What's wrong, MC?"
"Just patting my best boy~"
⊱ and boom, he's blushing which is followed by a smug grin
⊱ he'll literally tell all his brothers about it whenever he gets a chance to do so
⊱ of course he doesn't just randomly comes up to them and says it but whenever they're being troublesome to him or whenever someone Mammon claims to be your best
⊱ he's not saying it in mean way tho, he's saying that to make them behave and it surprisingly works
"If you'd behave yourself, you'd have chance of YN calling you their second best boy. Sure, prove me they're gonna call you their best boy instead."
Tumblr media
⊱ Mammon is already claiming to be your first so you thought he'll be happy to hear it, and while that's true, it's also not all
⊱ but first some petting him on head, he literally becomes all blushing when you do it
"H-Hey! Whatcha think ya doing?! I didn't told you to stop!"
⊱ of course he'll pretend like he doesn't like it but will secretly enjoy it, and once you call him your best boy, he can't help but grin
⊱ also unlike his older brother, he will point it out every single time that you called HIM your best boy, no one else!
⊱ also, he's avatar of greed, don't be surprised if he'd want to hear you call him that over and over all the time
⊱ but id you think he'll ask you for that personally, then you're dead wrong, he'll probably act like he forgot or do some other obvious scheme so you'd say it again
"Shaddup! It's not like you're their best boy! They prefer THE Great Mammon! It shoulda been obvious for ya already!"
Tumblr media
⊱ first thing Levi does when you say it or just pet him is pinch himself, but then he realizes it's not a dream and now his cheek hurt...
⊱ but again, let's start from beginning, he'll literally blush like crazy when you put your hand on hand over his head
"Wh-Wh-WHAAAAAT?!! NO WAY MC JUST DID THAT! IT MUST BE A DREM, RIGHT?! AUĆ!! Ow... wait... IT'S NOT A DREAM?!!!!"
⊱ call him you best boy and you can officially say that Levi.exe stopped working
⊱ after he's back to normal, he still can't believe that it just happened
⊱ he'd love to point out to his brothers that you called him your best boy but he becomes stuttering and blushing mess whenever he even thinks of it
⊱ but there's one exception... fight between him and his brothers... then there's a chance he'll point it out even if he won't notice his words at first
⊱ also, he definitely rambles about it all to his snake
"Aaaaah... I still can't believe they said I'm their best boy... They had so many other demons to choose from!! They're truly the only one...!"
Tumblr media
⊱ okey but listen here... Satan LOVES headpats! I mean he loves cats and you pet them, and he has a bit of cat personality himself so I'd say he enjoys it
⊱ so of course you get a smile yet cute and warm smile from him when you just put your hand on his head
"Ah, well this is nice... don't stop, let's stay like that for a little bit longer..."
⊱ and then, when you call your best boy, his face turns slightly red as he tries to keeps his cool
⊱ he's also not ashamed to point it out to his brothers but mostly, he'll point it out to the eldest in order to hopefully piss him off a bit spoiler: it doesn't work
⊱ surprisingly he seems a lot more calm than he is usually, he didn't even yelled when his brothers did something he would usually be furious about
⊱ his brothers immidietly asked how the heck did you broke him
"Guess who YN called 'their best boy'? I'm not lying, it's the truth, you can ask them yourself!"
Tumblr media
⊱ Asmo is well... Asmo... so of course his reaction was predictable
⊱ when you started petting him, at first he complained that you have gonna ruin his hair he worked so hard for
⊱ but if you'll be careful to not ruin his hair while giving him headpats, then ther s no way he'll mind, quite the opposite actually, he may ask for more
"Aww~ well aren't you just the cutest~? Oh no, please go on, sweetie! As long as you'll be careful that is."
⊱ and when you cook him your best boy, it's just boost of ego confidence for him
⊱ he's also the type to not be scared to point out to his brothers that he's your best boy and tease you about it if he gets a chance
⊱ speaking of teasing, he now won't react unless you call him "best boy Asmo" or anything similar to that
"Asmo? I think you're forgetting yourself, darling... I want my FULL title! ... Oh yes, now I'm listening, precious~"
Tumblr media
⊱ as we know, Beel is a sweetheart and so, he literally gives you the loveliest smile when you pet him
⊱ like, this boo literally smiles like a cute puppy and if he had a tail, it'd definitely wag now
"Hm? Is there something you need, YN? Oh, do you want to try this yogurt? It should be to your liking!"
⊱ and when you call him your best boy, his smile grows even wider and you can just see how his eyes sparkle
⊱ sure, he mentions it that you called him your best boy to his brothers but he won't make big deal out of it
⊱ he's in a better mood for at very least one whole day, like nothing can and will because I won't let it ruin his mood
⊱ also prepare to have one hella clingy teddybear by your side, I know I say it a lot but he is just a sweet teddybear
"I... am? Ah, thank you. Believe it or not but it really made my day better!"
Tumblr media
⊱ Belphie is a snuggly little baby so of course he immidietly smiled as you pat his head, after all what could be better thing to wake up to?
"Morning... or afternoon... not important. You seem rather happy with yourself, c'mon, let's cuddle together."
⊱ he at first might not even notice your words but once he realizes it, there's no way you can be away from him
⊱ if you're cuddling, he'll literally not let you go, no matter how important task you have
⊱ huh? Mammon is running from witches? Sounds like his problem... Satan is furious again? Cuddles are more important...
⊱ he also is the type to point out to all of his brothers that you called him your best boy especially to Lucifer
⊱ he definitely encourages you to call him and Beel tour favorite boys, since he knows it would make his twin extremely happy
"Mhh... They can survive 5 minutes without you don't worry. It's not first time Satan is fruoois anyway..."

Hola, how are you!?:) I think your an amazing writer, especially love how you portray the characters personality perfectly *french kiss* if I may request a bad batch x reader plus Rex and Fives, how they would react to a fem reader(gf) having an old ex that's obsessed with them still and will randomly arrive to planets they are on, and one day the Readers ex takes it to far and arrives at the maurader and acts like he "owns the reader" I totally understand if your not comfortable with this, but either way I'm happy if you write it or not have a good day:)
Aloha! Thank you so mu... wait, what?
*french kiss*
Excuse me? I really like my personal space...
Tumblr media
😜 Just joking around, I know you probably meant 'chef's kiss', right? That GIF also kinda, really fits the topic in a way...
You've got an interesting idea right there. As it happens, I have had personal experience with such an ex, twice. To think about it still creeps me out a bit. *shudders* Honestly, I can't wait to explore the guys' reactions, though! 😁
The Bad Batch/Rex/Fives x Fem!Reader HCs - The Obsessive Ex (The Creep)
Tumblr media
Warnings: Angsty/Unwanted Pining/Unwanted Attention/Stalking/Obsessive Behavior/Tension/Might Also Include Some Violence, Threats Of Violence, Some Very Angry Clones And Strong Language
This took much more time than I expected...
________________
The Creep
It's not so easy to follow you, again, and again you escape from him. He is still watching you from a distance. He doesn't know the people you travel with, but he has seen how familiar you are with one of them. He doesn't like it, because he feels that you belong to him and only to him. The jealousy, tingles sharply under his skin, from his feet to the crown of his head. He has aggressive spurts where he destroys things, little things at first, small objects, especially when he sees this guy put an arm around you. You broke up with him, told him he was a control freak, patronizing and jealous.
He's a scumbag and coward to boot, but that's not how he sees himself. He is the man you should look up to, he is sure of it. Only he can make you happy and should be obeyed.
Hunter
Of course, he noticed at some point that the same guy keeps appearing near you, no matter where you are. Your batcher doesn't like this at all, his instincts tell him there's something wrong with this guy.
"Mesh'la, there's this guy who keeps following us. Behind you on the left by the fruit stands. Try to look inconspicuously if you can."
You do as he says and shivers run down your spine.
You ask uncertainly, "What do you mean, he follows us everywhere? Today, since we've been on the road?"
Hunter shakes his head.
"No, he's been following us since Tattooine. Do you know him?"
Actually, this guy is a chapter you want to put behind you. But now you're having to face this one more time.
"That's my ex"
Hunter frowns and asks you, "Is there any reason you know of that he should follow us?"
With a sigh, you explain, "He doesn't know anything about boundaries. He's an overstepping control freak, always has been. Besides, he didn't take it very well when I broke up with him, I practically had to run away from him."
You can see Hunter gritting his teeth. Nothing you just said pleases him.
"Maybe I should talk to him, make it clear to him exactly where the boundaries are."
You shrug your shoulders a little helplessly and say honestly, "I have no idea if that would help. Are you sure he followed us?"
"Yes, and he's not exactly stealthy."
You ask Hunter to ignore him for now and return to the ship. He gives in and walks with you back to the Marauder, but he knows for a fact that your ex is still following you, and slowly but surely, things start to simmer under Hunter's surface.
Just before you reach the Marauder, Hunter snaps. He wheels around, takes a step back and reaches behind one of the stands, pulling your ex out from behind it by the collar.
"What the hell do you want with my girlfriend?"
Very meekly and barely audibly, your ex says while staring wide-eyed at Hunter, "Actually, she's my girlfriend."
"She's what now?" growls Hunter.
"Look-"
Hunter interrupts your ex, "You listen very carefully now. You're the ex, I'm the new guy, she doesn't want you anymore, deal with it! If I catch you stalking her or anyone in her inner circle again, I will take you apart piece by piece."
When your ex just blinks dumbly at Hunter, Hunter snaps angrily, "You got that?!"
Very meekly, your ex says, nodding vigorously, "Yes, yes of course."
Surprised and somehow swooned by Hunter's protective and energetic effort, you look at Hunter as he comes back to you. The expression on his face is still hard with anger, but he gives you a gentle kiss on the cheek before grabbing your hand and walking on with you.
Hunter is not a violent person, at least never without good reason. However, when it comes to protecting you, Hunter is particularly fiery and there might be some violence. Basically, you can be sure that in him, you will always have a very vigilant, eager protector.
Echo
Of course, he noticed at some point that the same guy keeps appearing near you, no matter where you are. Your batcher doesn't like this at all, his instincts tell him there's something wrong with this guy.
"Mesh'la, there's this guy who keeps following us. Behind you on the left by the fruit stands. Try to look inconspicuously if you can."
You do as he says and shivers run down your spine.
You ask uncertainly, "What do you mean, he follows us everywhere? Today, since we've been on the road?"
He shakes his head.
"No, he's been following us since Tattooine. Do you know him?"
Actually, this guy is a chapter you want to put behind you. But now you're having to face this one more time.
"That's my ex"
"Your ex?" repeats Echo critically, glancing in his direction again, "Why would he follow you?"
"In a nutshell, he doesn't know boundaries, can't take no for an answer, and didn't take it very well when I broke up with him. However, I have no idea what he hopes to gain from this stalking."
"Somehow I feel the need to kick his butt," Echo says so calmly and dryly that you have to grin.
"What, why are you grinning like that?"
You kiss his cheek and say, "I like your dry sense of humor."
"That's nice, Mesh'la, but I wasn't kidding, I don't like the guy, he's a creep".
You shrug your shoulders and say, "You can try, but I don't think he'll necessarily learn anything from it"
Echo nods and says, "Guys like that are basically resistant to learning, but I have to do something, I can't let that guy keep stalking you."
Echo kisses your cheek and says, "Stay right here Mesh'la, okay."
"Uh… okay"
You watch him go as Echo seems to walk away, but he does a sweep out of your ex's field of vision and finally approaches him from the side.
"Hey."
Your ex almost jumps out of his boots, startled. His gaze bounces back and forth between you and Echo, but finally fixes on Echo, who could possibly be a threat.
Echo smiles firecly and says in a playfully friendly manner, "Would be great if you would stop stalking my girlfriend, otherwise I'm going to have to hurt you, very much."
Echo's hand lands heavily on your ex's shoulder. Lifting his scomp link, he says, "You should see the nasty things I can do with that thing."
"No, thanks," your ex says nervously.
"No? You really don't want to? Then I suggest you get the hell out of here and never show your face in my range again, let alone hers"
You watch your ex back off and Echo come back to you.
"You got through to him?" you ask, surprised.
"Well, sure I did," Echo says with satisfaction.
"Did you use your scomp link threat again, like you did with that poor guys who tried to buy me a drink in Cid's bar?"
Echo shrugs, takes your hand and says, "Why not, works almost every time."
Echo will always protect you and always keep an eye on what's happening around you. As demure and patient as he is most of the time, when it comes to your safety he will not compromise.
Wrecker
Of course, he noticed at some point that the same guy keeps appearing near you, no matter where you are. Your batcher doesn't like this at all, his instincts tell him there's something wrong with this guy.
"Mesh'la, there's this guy who keeps following us. Behind you on the left by the fruit stands. Try to look inconspicuously if you can."
You do as he says and shivers run down your spine.
You ask uncertainly, "What do you mean, he follows us everywhere? Today, since we've been on the road?"
He shakes his head.
"No, he's been following us since Tattooine. Do you know him?"
Actually, this guy is a chapter you want to put behind you. But now you're having to face this one more time.
"That's my ex"
Wrecker frowns critically and asks, "Is he dangerous or something? Do I have to worry about your safety?"
You feel uncomfortable just talking about it, but Wrecker should know.
"He's one of those guys with a big mouth but nothing behind it. He's a mental leech, and a creep, but he hasn't been violent to me."
Wrecker growls, "But stalking is usually the start of something that can end pretty ugly. I should put a stop to it"
"Should be pretty easy, probably all you have to do is look at him hard enough, and he'll pee himself, on someone of your appearance" you say, unable to help a small smile at the thought.
"Okay, Mesh'la, leave it to me."
Wrecker marches straight towards your ex, who then becomes visibly restless, you already suspect that he will run away. Wrecker also seems to suspect this, because he rumbles, "Don't you dare run away, if I have to run after you, it will end badly for you".
Of course, he runs away anyway, but ends up in a dead end and finally faces an angry giant.
"You little worm. You're the kind who likes to harass and annoy women but otherwise can't get anything done, right?"
Your ex is frantically looking for a way out, but Wrecker is getting closer and there is no way out in sight.
"I'm only going to say this once, stay away from her".
"From whom?" your ex asks as if he doesn't know who is meant.
"You know very well, stop playing dumb! I take no prisoners when it comes to my girlfriend. If I see you near her again, I'll break you apart."
Demonstratively, Wrecker rams his fist against a house wall, right next to his head, where it leaves a hole.
"Next time, that's your head, got it?"
"Understood," says your ex, hoarse with fear, squeezing his legs together for fear of pissing himself.
Wrecker is a great softy, loving, kind and forgiving, however, he can pull quite different strings when it comes to your protection. When it comes to your safety and well-being, Wrecker will not compromise, he is like a force of nature and is not afraid to get his hands dirty.
Tech
Of course, he noticed at some point that the same guy keeps appearing near you, no matter where you are. Your batcher doesn't like this at all, his instincts tell him there's something wrong with this guy.
"Mesh'la, there's this person who keeps following us. Behind you on the left by the fruit stands. Try to look inconspicuously if you can."
You do as he says and shivers run down your spine.
You ask uncertainly, "What do you mean, he follows us everywhere? Today, since we've been on the road?"
He shakes his head.
"No, he's been following us since Tattooine. Do you know him?"
Actually, this guy is a chapter you want to put behind you. But now you're having to face this one more time.
"That's my ex"
"Ex-boyfriend?" Tech repeats thoughtfully with a critical look in your pursuer's direction, "What's his problem? Why is he stalking you?"
With a sigh, you explain, "He didn't take it very well when I broke up with him. He's a control freak who knows no bounds, pushy, creepy…. well, all those unpleasant things."
Tech looks surprised.
"You never told me about that"
"I never thought it would be necessary."
Tech thinks for a moment and finally says seriously, "I don't like him stalking you, it's very suspicious, unhealthy behavior and could turn into something dangerous, it seems like an obsession to me."
You nod slowly and utter a guess, "Probably it is indeed an obsession."
"Do you mind if I look into this?"
"No, of course not, but be careful, he may be a coward, but he is also a loudmouth and cowardly loudmouths tend to resort to unfair means"
Tech smiles at you, "Don't worry about it, I'll take care of it."
You watch as Tech approaches your ex, who eyes him critically and unwillingly.
Tech opens the conversation, "Excuse me, but I noticed that you are stalking my girlfriend and I feel compelled to point out that you should leave her alone".
Tech is not a scary guy, even if he is quite tall, and his calm way of talking is not intimidating. So your ex is not really impressed at first. He crosses his arms in front of his chest and asks challengingly, "Says who?"
"Says me, the new guy. See, you're an old story from yesterday that no one wants to hear anymore, but seems to keep imposing itself without being asked. I am the current model and my job, apart from making this woman happy, is to dispose of the old garbage if it doesn't dispose of itself."
Your ex blinks, tries to follow the words, and finally runs red with anger when he realizes that he has just been insulted. He makes the mistake of attacking in a blind rage, but Tech already has a stun gun ready, shocking your ex before he can even touch Tech.
"I was hoping we could avoid this nonsense. But have it your way," Tech says, sending another shock into the body of the man on the ground.
He wriggles and convulses and the electric shock.
"That hurts a lot, doesn't it? Well, that's a very simple but effective approach. However, I am extremely intelligent, I have an extraordinary mind, and a lot of ideas on how to make your life miserable, be it through pain or other things. You have a choice, if you come near us again you will get to know the variety of my nasty ideas, if not you will be spared this experience".
Tech is usually calm and patient, but even he has his limits, and he is absolutely not afraid to do very ugly things to someone in order to protect you.
Crosshair
Of course, he noticed at some point that the same guy keeps appearing near you, no matter where you are. Your batcher doesn't like this at all, his instincts tell him there's something wrong with this guy.
"Kitten, there's this guy who keeps following us. Behind you on the left by the fruit stands. Try to sneak a look, inconspicuously, if you can."
You do as he says and shivers run down your spine.
You ask uncertainly, "What do you mean, he follows us everywhere? Today, since we've been on the road?"
He shakes his head.
"No, he's been following us since Tattooine. Do you know him?"
Actually, this guy is a chapter you want to put behind you. But now you're having to face this one more time.
"That's my ex"
His eyes immediately become critical slits.
"Your ex, huh?"
"Yes," you say uneasily.
Crosshair sighs, looks again in the direction of your pursuer, and finally says, "Let me guess, he's one of the kind who doesn't take no for an answer? Can't handle the separation?"
"Pretty much, yeah"
Keeping an eye on the stalker he asks you, "Has he done this before? Stalked you, or approached you since you broke up?"
You shrug your shoulders uncertainly and say, "Once or twice. But the last time was a while ago, I thought I was finally rid of him."
Crosshair snorts, "Oh you'll be rid of him for good very soon, don't worry."
A little nervously, you frown and ask, "What are you going to do?"
"Is better if you don't know anything about it"
You don't quite know what to say and listen as Crosshair contacts Wrecker and asks him to pick you up, everything else doesn't happen in your presence and Crosshair never tells you what he did with your ex. All you know is that your ex never crossed your path again.
Crosshair has no mercy on anyone who crosses your boundaries. There may be a warning first, but he only warns once, followed by action. If your ex really has the balls to mess with him, it is safe to assume that the end result will be serious injury or death for your ex.
Rex
Of course, he noticed at some point that the same guy keeps appearing near you, no matter where you are. Your batcher doesn't like this at all, his instincts tell him there's something wrong with this guy.
"Cyar'ika, there's this guy who keeps following us. Behind you on the left by the fruit stands. Try to sneak a look, inconspicuously, if you can."
You do as he says and shivers run down your spine.
You ask uncertainly, "What do you mean, he follows us everywhere? Today, since we've been on the road?"
He shakes his head.
"No, he's been following us since Tattooine. Do you know him?"
Actually, this guy is a chapter you want to put behind you. But now you're having to face this one more time.
"That's my ex"
"Your what?"
"My ex-boyfriend"
You see Rex tense up.
"And why has your ex-boyfriend been following you across multiple planets for the past few days?"
You shrug helplessly and say, "Honestly? I don't really know. He's never been good with boundaries."
"And that means?"
"Well, he was a very jealous control freak, he didn't really take our breakup well either. I finally just packed up my stuff and snuck away because I couldn't really communicate with him"
"Interesting," Rex mumbles, "Excuse me for a moment."
Rex walks right up to your ex, taking a holo-shot of him as he stands right in front of the guy, which makes your ex look very confused.
"You know what I am, I take it?" asks Rex coolly.
Your ex replies uncertainly, "A clone?"
"A clone captain to be exact, and I now have a picture of you. If you get too close to my girlfriend or keep stalking her, it doesn't matter how far away you try to run. I am sending this picture to my brothers, and as you know I have a lot of them. So it doesn't matter where you go, I will find you."
Your ex stares at Rex in disbelief.
"I don't think I need to tell you or threaten you about what's going to happen then."
Your stalker shakes his head.
"So my message got through?"
A nod.
"Good. Now get out of here while you still can."
Rex is a protector through and through. He'll make sure you feel and are safe, come what may.
Fives
Of course, he noticed at some point that the same guy keeps appearing near you, no matter where you are. Your batcher doesn't like this at all, his instincts tell him there's something wrong with this guy.
"Cyar'ika, there's this guy who keeps following us. Behind you on the left by the fruit stands. Try to sneak a look, inconspicuously, if you can."
You do as he says and shivers run down your spine.
You ask uncertainly, "What do you mean, he follows us everywhere? Today, since we've been on the road?"
He shakes his head.
"No, he's been following us since Tattooine. Do you know him?"
Actually, this guy is a chapter you want to put behind you. But now you're having to face this one more time.
"That's my ex"
"Your ex-boyfriend? Really? Why does that clown follow you everywhere?"
"I'm not sure, but I wish he wouldn't."
Fives frowns and asks, "Has he ever bothered you before?"
"Yes, but that was a while ago, I thought I was finally rid of him".
"Hmm" Fives grumbles, "One of those who doesn't know when to call it quits?"
With a nod you say, "Simplified, sort of."
He thinks for a moment, then smiles mischievously, and you know he's cooked up something.
"Okay, Mesh'la, you go home and wait for me there, I'll be there soon".
You're not sure if you should listen, somehow you have a feeling that something is up. But you trust Fives, so you do what he asks.
Afterward, you find out that your ex has been tarred and feathered and tied up in a more or less public place. Fives has not claimed responsibility for the crime, but you later hear that he, along with Hardcase, Jesse and Echo, were disciplined by Rex for allegedly "harassing" a civilian. So in a way, you know he's responsible.
Fives will do anything to protect you, though whenever he can, he'll always slip in some of his cheeky silliness to do so. He's not particularly subtle, but very caring and always ready to protect you.

He was there again.
You knew who he was, of course, how could you not? Harry Styles was the world’s biggest rockstar, known for his 70s-inspired sound, arms covered in tattoos, and elusive reputation. He was loved by millions, yet no one actually knew him, which you assumed was a part of his allure.
In short, Harry Styles wasn’t the kind of person you thought you would find at a Saturday farmer’s market, yet he was there. Every weekend. You weren’t one of his devoted followers, but as time went by and you saw more and more of him, you began to notice things about him. He dressed impeccably, but in a way that said he didn’t want to be noticed. His painted nails were always in various stages of chipped, which you started to believe he preferred it that way because you never saw him with a new manicure. And from what you could tell, he only ever spoke to the two or three friends he walked around with, so you tried to respect his privacy and not notice him. That didn’t stop other people from coming up to him and asking for a picture, but you let him be.
It was hard to do that when he kept coming to your stall every weekend and left empty-handed, though.
Harry Styles, you discovered, was not only the quiet and brooding type, but apparently, he was also the type of person to inspect every single thing in a store and then not buy anything. Not a single thing. Some days it felt like he inspected every petal and stem just to not buy a single flower, let alone a whole bouquet. And his brows were always furrowed, like the display wasn't up to his standards. You didn't know what kinds of flowers Harry Styles bought, but clearly yours weren't good enough for him.
A real head scratcher because he was at your stall every Saturday.
It made you question your stall sometimes—the way you arranged your flowers, the brown paper and ribbon and twine you wrapped them in; the bunches of lavender and rosemary, and bouquets of roses and daises and carnations and peonies, and all the other sweet-smelling flowers you grew at home and brought to the market every weekend. You couldn’t understand why your flowers weren’t good enough for him. Or why he kept coming back to your stall if they weren't.
Each time he stopped by your stall and didn’t buy anything, you got more and more annoyed, something that didn’t happen often. It got to the point that by the sixth time he walked up to inspect your flowers, you couldn’t sit by anymore. You were going to say something, you just had to work up the courage first.
You’d been on your phone typing up possible things to say to him, so you didn’t see Harry walk up to your stall, and when you looked up, you jumped. He was right in front of you.
“I, um, I wanted to ask for your opinion,” he said, his voice so quiet you had to lean in to hear him.
“My opinion?” you asked, looking at him skeptically.
He cleared his throat. “Yeah, I—I want to buy a bouquet of flowers, but I don’t know which ones to get. I'm meeting someone and am in a bit of a rush, so if you could just...”
He gestured like he wanted you to be quick in your assessment of your own flower arrangements.
You were curious as to why now, after weeks of him practically judging your stall, he wanted your advice, or to buy something. But when he said he was in a rush, you realized you were probably a last resort. Harry didn't want to buy from you, you were just a convenient option.
"Sure. Is there anything you're looking for in particular?"
"Flowers," he blurted, looking at you like he suddenly regretted coming to your stall at all. At that moment, you wondered where his normal group of friends was. Harry was rarely ever alone, and you would've loved a buffer between the two of you right about now.
Rolling your eyes, you said, "I meant, what's the occasion? Are you celebrating? Is it romantic? Are they for a family member?"
You hoped that your questions would clear things up, but he only looked at you with a deeper frown. "Does it matter? They're all flowers."
This was your moment. This was your opportunity to speak your mind and match his sour energy. But as you opened your mouth to tell him how you really felt about his judgy eyes and above-it-all demeanor, you chickened out.
"You're right. Here," you told him, pulling a random bouquet from your stall and handing it to Harry. It was a personal favorite of yours—lavender and daisies and baby's breath bundled together with twine—and a pretty neutral bouquet. Unless he was about to go to some sort of anniversary event with a significant other, in which something a little more grand would be more fitting. But he said it didn't matter, so you decided not to think into it too much.
"That'll be twelve dollars."
His brows raised in a way that made you dislike him even more, but he only pulled his wallet out and handed you a twenty-dollar bill. "Keep the change," he mumbled, then walked off the way he'd come.
"Ass," you muttered.
Checking your watch, you realized the market was going to be over soon. And since no one was even looking at your stall, you decided to pack up for the day. You began pulling bouquets from their displays, already coming up with ways to repurpose the ones that were showing signs of wilting. You often dried them and made little bookmarks, plates, ornaments, and other kinds of decorations, but that took time and planning.
"Did Harry Styles just buy flowers from here?"
You looked behind you to where a girl dressed in bell bottoms and a crop top was standing, glitter-covered eyes looking at you expectantly.
"Yeah. Why?"
"Can I buy the same bouquet as him? Does he shop here a lot?"
There was an opportunity here. To lie or to tell the truth. Since you were still a little miffed by the singer's behavior, you went with a little white lie. "He comes here every week."
It technically wasn't a lie. He did come every week, but the girl didn't have to know that today was the first time he'd ever purchased anything. You had a lot of flowers to sell, and Harry was going to help you, whether he was aware of it or not.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The next Saturday came and Harry was back with what some might consider his “entourage.” If it was possible, he looked even moodier than he normally did, and he was headed straight towards you. You didn’t know what he wanted, nor did you care that people were gawking at him as he came into your stall. Thanks to him, business was better than ever, word having spread that the Harry Styles frequented your flower stand. You were in the middle of helping a bride with ideas for arrangements for her wedding, and you weren’t going to stop for Harry. He could wait.
“I need to speak to you.”
His voice made it seem like there wasn’t room for debate, but you didn’t see it that way.
“I’ll be with you in just a minute. Feel free to look around,” you told him, quickly going back to the bride to be.
You could practically feel him standing behind you, but you took your time helping the potential client. In reality, it was maybe two or three minutes, but when you turned around, Harry’s arms were crossed like you’d made him wait an hour.
Smiling, you asked, “How can I help you?”
“She didn’t like them.”
You knew what he was talking about, but an evil part of you kind of liked pissing the rockstar off. “Like what?”
Harry just continued to stare intensely. “The flowers. The ones I bought from you.”
“Oh. I’m sorry to hear that,” you said, and you meant it too. You took pride in arranging your bouquets. “Did you want to buy more or did you just want to tell me that?”
“Well, I—” He paused, like he was choosing his words carefully. “I mean not really, but she said I had to.”
Your brows raised, both thoroughly confused and amused at the same time. “Okay. Well, have a look around, and let me know if—”
“There’s nothing here,” he interrupted. “She’s very picky. Likes to have stuff that other people don’t.”
Who was he dating? The queen? you thought. You understood getting the right bouquet and having a favorite flower, but you couldn’t just pull the ones you had apart and make Harry a new one. You grouped those flowers together for a reason.
“I mean if you think they’re unsatisfactory, then you could always just go somewhere else,” you said.
“It’s not me, it’s her,” Harry said. “I couldn’t care less, but she’s insisting, and I’m already here, so.”
He didn’t even realize that he just insulted you. And not only that, but he still expected your help.
Channeling all of your most calming thoughts, you took a deep breath and smiled. “Well, let me check the back for something more unique. Oh wait, there is no back,” you said with a shrug. If he didn’t care, then you didn’t either.
“Why are you being rude? I’m asking you for help,” he asked, seeming utterly confused.
It occurred to you then that the man in front of you might just be the brutally honest type, that he didn’t think he was being mean, just honest. He was, but you weren’t going to have it out with him about his behavior. If no one hadn’t called him out on it, you weren’t going to be the one to change his mind.
“I...guess you can come back to my garden and pick out a bouquet there, but it’ll cost you ex—”
“Done. When can we leave?”
“Market closes in an hour,” you said, eager to be rid of him for the time being.
“I’ll come back then.”
“Can’t wait,” you muttered. It was sarcastic, of course, but you swore you saw the corner of his mouth twitch.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Harry was back in exactly an hour, his friends nowhere to be seen. He watched passively as you loaded wooden crates of flowers into your truck, and when you finally closed up the bed, you walked back over to him.
“You can just follow me in your car, I guess. I live about ten minutes from here.”
You weren’t surprised when all he did was nod. He followed you to the market’s parking lot, your eyes widening when he slid behind a sleek black car with tinted windows.
The entire drive, your mind was occupied. You wondered how the hell you ended up in this situation and pondered ways it could’ve gone differently. Perhaps you should’ve just told Harry to find another florist, or just let him pick apart your bouquets. But you were here, driving in your beat up, barely working, pick-up truck with one of the biggest celebrities of today trailing behind you in a car that costed more than you made in a year.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Take a look around and let me know if you see anything you like.”
“Okay.”
You didn’t want to leave him alone among the rows of flowers, but you also didn’t want to awkwardly trail behind him. So you settled for venturing to the next row over pretending to gather flowers while keeping an eye on him.
Harry barely said a word as he walked up and down your garden, his face as void of emotion as always. You wondered if he ever smiled, or what his laugh sounded like, but you quickly shook those thoughts away.
“I can’t find anything.”
Having gotten lost in picking out marigolds that looked ready to be picked, you startled at Harry’s sudden closeness. It appeared he was very sneaky.
“I’m sorry about that,” you said, though you kind of expected that from him. “I don’t have anything else to show you.”
“I just don’t know what to get for her, and she’ll have my head if I don’t get it right,” he said, and for a moment it sounded like he was genuinely worried about the possibility of his head being removed from his neck.
Harry claimed he couldn’t find anything, but it looked to you like he wasn’t going to leave here empty handed.
“Um...” You quickly scanned the row you were in. Spotting some pink carnations and wild daisies, an idea sprouted in your head. You snipped stems and went to another row to pull some other flowers to match. “Here. Carnations symbolize gratitude and the wild daisies beauty and hope. And the little purple ones are unique and will tie the whole thing together once I wrap them in purple paper. Does that work?”
Harry took the flowers from your hands and inspected them like he was about to give you feedback on your choice. Why he would do that, you weren’t sure. You didn’t go to his home and criticize his music.
But all he said was, “Flowers have meaning?”
You breathed heavily through your nose. “Yes, they do. Now, if you’d like, I can wrap these up for you. Put a bow on them maybe?”
Harry looked like he wanted to ask more about flowers and their meanings, but he just nodded.
You led him away from your garden and into your garage, which you’d converted into a workspace years ago. It was covered in unfinished projects and snipped stems and stray petals, but honestly it always looked like that.
“Um, there are small animals following you.”
“Oh!”
Turning around, you saw that Harry was right. There was a line of ducklings following you towards the house. Bending down, you cupped your hands and let a couple hop in.
“This is Melon, Sandy, and Hank. They hatched recently, and now they follow me everywhere.”
Harry peered down at the ducklings curiosity wrinkling his brow. “They...follow...you?”
“Yep. Do you want to hold one? Actually, why don’t you just take these while I go wrap up your flowers.”
You handed the ducklings off to Harry while you darted into your workspace, making quick work of cutting ribbon and tying a knot around the sweet peas’s stems. When you returned, Harry was holding two ducks while one somehow made it onto his shoulder and was burying itself in his hair.
“Sorry, I should’ve mentioned that Melon does that,” you said.
It was a risk to step into Harry’s personal bubble, you didn’t think he would be the type to appreciate that, but he also looked slightly freaked out that a duckling named Melon was trying to make a home out of his hair. Carefully, you removed Melon from strands of hair until he was safely back in your hands.
Harry quietly took the packaged flowers from you and handed the other ducklings back. Figuring he was in some kind of shock from holding the three ducks, you left him to his silence and showed him out.
“Do you own a lot of animals?”
The question surprised you, but only because you assumed Harry would want to leave as quickly as possible. “I don’t really see myself as an ‘owner,’ but I technically have a cow. And Cheese. And deer show up every now and again.
“Cheese?”
“A tree frog,” you clarified. “I was high when I named him.
That time you were sure the corner of his mouth flickered. “That’s...unusual.”
“What? Getting high?”
“No, the cow and—”
“That was a joke,” you said, stopping him even though his flustered state satisfied you to no end.
“Oh. Well here,” he said, reaching into his back pocket for his wallet and pulling out a bunch of bills.
You started at them in shock. There was easily a hundred dollars in your hands. “I don’t need that mu—”
“Just take it. Please,” he insisted.
For a brief moment there, Harry seemed... different. You couldn’t really pass judgement because you didn’t know him, but the last couple minutes, he wasn’t so tense and wasn’t frowning so much. More awkward than broody. But he seemed closed off again,so you just took the money like he told you to.
Harry quickly sped off after that, and you were left alone in the dust, literally, trying to comprehend the day you just had.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
“Wiggles says you own a cow.”
Your first instinct was to look up, not down, so you didn’t see her at first. When you realized it wasn’t an adult that was speaking to you, your eyes shifted downward.
The first thing you saw was blond hair slicked back into a ponytail, the next thing was the coffee cup. She looked like she was nine going on twenty-nine with a plaid skirt and sweater vest. Who was this girl and where did she come from?
“You realize coffee stunts your growth, don’t you?” you asked, though a smile played at your lips.
She looked down at you the best she could at her height. A very commendable effort, you decided. “It’s decaf.”
“Fair enough. Who told you about my cow?”
“H—”
“Lucy, there you are!”
With wide eyes, you watched as Harry jogged over to you and the young girl. Lucy.
It seemed Harry switched out his usual group of friends for this young girl. You knew you probably shouldn’t have, but you couldn’t help but ask, “Wiggles?”
At that, Harry glared down at Lucy. “We talked about that.”
Lucy shrugged. “You talked. I listened, and then I silently disagreed.”
You immediately liked this girl.
Turning away from Lucy, Harry looked at you with pink cheeks. “Sorry about her. We were just leaving, actually.”
“Oh. No worries, she just—”
“You came all this way and you’re not gonna give it to her?” Lucy asked.
It seemed as if this girl was Harry’s kryptonite, as he began to blush even harder. Sighing, Harry set the drink in his hand down on the table you were sitting behind. The drink you always ordered.
You looked at the drink, astonished. “How did you—”
“I just noticed the label, and I knew that that coffee shop is close by, and I mean the drink is green so all I had to ask for was the green one. It’s not like it was hard or anything.”
It sounded like Harry was trying to convince himself of that fact and not you, but the fact that his moody, broody exterior wasn’t as thick as you initially assumed put a smile on your face.
“Thank you. I don’t know why you got it for me, but thank you.”
Scratching the back of his neck, Harry said, “Well, I told Lucy about the florist who owned ducklings and a cow, and she insisted that I take her, and when I tried to explain that your house wasn’t a petting zoo, she said—”
“That everyone has a price, and Wiggles has a very big wallet,” Lucy supplied helpfully.
Lots of things shocked you at the moment, it was hard to pinpoint which one had your mouth slightly ajar.
Harry had...a child? They didn't look anything alike, but that didn't say much. But not only did he have a child, who was just as blunt as Harry was, he talked about you to her. You were curious to know in how much detail, but you didn't dare ask. It was clear Harry—Wiggles—had his hands full.
"I was just bringing this as a thank you for your help last week. That's all," Harry said, looking you dead in the eye. It was like he needed you to know he had absolutely no ulterior motives with the coffee. Not that you expected him to. As far as you knew, Harry had never been photographed with anyone romantically, but you had a feeling a florist and cow owner wasn't his type.
"Thanks," you said, picking up the drink and taking a sip from the straw.
It was awkwardly silent after that. You didn't really know what to say, and from the looks of it, Harry didn't want to say anything. His mask of indifference was back, but he made no move to take himself and Lucy away.
"So is it like one of those black and white cows you see on milk cartons, or is it—"
"Lucy," Harry hissed.
"What?"
The pair had a very interesting dynamic. The way they interacted felt more sibling-esque than father-daughter, and now you really wanted to know what exactly they meant to each other.
"She's a miniature cow with brown hair," you said to Lucy, not minding her curiosity one bit.
"Miniature?"
You nodded. "She won't grow to be very big. Wanna see?"
Harry stood with his arms crossed while you and Lucy looked at pictures of your pet on your phone. As you scrolled, the young girl peppered you with questions, and while you were more than happy to answer all of them, you could tell that Harry was even more ready to leave.
"You really live there? It looks like a fairy's home," she said, admiring the picture of Petal the miniature cow dozing in the garden.
"I do."
Lucy turned to Harry, and while his arms were still crossed and his face was still pretty stoic, something in his eyes softened when he looked at her. "We have to have our next tea party there."
"You can't just use someone's home for your tea parties, Lucy," Harry said, sounding like he'd had similar conversations before.
"Well obviously Y/n would be invited too," Lucy said with a roll of her eyes.
Sighing, he told her, "You can't invite yourself over to someone's house, Lu—"
"It's fine," you said, even if Harry was technically right. "Lucy, why don't you go pick out a bouquet of flowers. Free of charge."
Lucy's eyes lit up, and she scampered off to inspect each one, much like Harry often did when he stopped by.
Now that you and Harry were relatively alone, you were able to digest some of the information you'd learned in the last few minutes, the first being that Harry Styles, the Harry Styles that toured the world as a rock star and sang about sex and hallucinogenics, went to tea parties with a girl who couldn't be older than ten years old and called him Wiggles. Who knew that was what he was hiding under that broody facade?
"I'm sorry about her, she has no sense of personal boundaries," he finally said, breaking you away from your thoughts.
"Like I said, it's fine. She just made my day."
That made Harry smile just enough for a dimple to indent one of his cheeks. It made you wonder what his actual smile looked like. Attractive like him, you assumed, though you doubted you would ever see it.
"Thanks. And don't worry about the whole tea party and coming over thing, she'll forget about it by tomorrow."
Harry was saying one thing, but it didn't sound like he was all that convinced, and after witnessing Lucy's fascination and persistence yourself, you knew that she would probably nag Harry about it for days, maybe even weeks, to come.
"I...wouldn't mind if she came to visit Petal, but I will require one thing."
Harry looked skeptical but also relieved that he wasn't going to have to repeatedly tell Lucy no. "Deal. What is it?"
"I need to know how Harry Styles got the nickname 'Wiggles.'"
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Suddenly knowing things about a celebrity was weird.
To you, Harry had just been some guy that was popular on the radio and really had a problem with your flower arrangements, and now he and his...well, you didn't know who Lucy was to him, but they were coming over to your house so that she could meet your pet cow.
Life was utterly bizarre (cow pun intended).
You didn't really know what to expect from Harry. He was quiet and standoffish and had this uncanny ability to make you question every little thing you did. You were used to seeing him from a distance, watching him as he silently judged your bouquets of flowers, and now you were spending an extended period of time with him. You weren't sure why you cared, but you did.
So you put a little effort into what you were wearing for your guests, but not to the point of looking like you were trying too hard. A bandana over your hair, a pair of jeans that didn't have grass stains on them, and a green turtleneck sweater that made your eyes pop.
Lucy and Harry were right on time, something you were expecting from them. This whole arrangement was strange, but seeing Lucy's eyes widen as she took in your garden in person made it all worth it.
Harry was pretty much silent as you showed Lucy all the different types of flowers and how to properly pick them. He trailed behind the two of you like some kind of bodyguard, boots kicking up dirt and crunching gravel as he walked.
"Is he always like that?" you couldn't help but ask Lucy. You wondered if it was just you who had that affect on him, or if that was just his natural disposition.
"Mm, kinda. He's just shy. Doesn't know how to talk to girls."
You didn’t know what you were expecting, but that was not how you assumed Harry Styles would be. You weren't a huge fan of his by any means, but you didn't live under a rock, either. Girls practically threw themselves at him, you guessed he had no issue flirting with girls.
Not that that's what you thought Harry wanted from you. His feelings towards you were pretty clear, you thought.
"I can hear you, you know," Harry called from a few feet behind you and Lucy. She giggled, like that was exactly her plan, but you just blushed. He didn't need to know you were asking about him.
"And here's Petal. She mostly just sleeps and eats all day," you said a while later. Lucy had insisted you showed her everything, and after an hour, you finally made it to where Petal was napping in the afternoon sun.
"She's so cute! Isn't she cute, Wig—I mean Harry?"
You stood back after telling Lucy where the best places to pet Petal were so she wouldn't get spooked, more than happy to just watch like Harry was.
You tried not to, but you couldn't help but steal glances at Harry. Your eyes caught on the sharp angle of his jaw the curl of his lashes and the point of his nose. And when you settled on his hair, you couldn't help but smile.
"You—You have something in your hair," you said, and before you could think, you were reaching up to pluck the dandelion tuft from one of his curls. The image of Harry's hair dotted with flowers made you smile even wider.
When you pulled back and saw his wide eyes, though, you immediately took a step back. "Sorry, I should've asked before invading your space like that."
Harry cleared his throat and ran a hand through his hair. "It's fine."
Not that you really expected to, but you couldn't read Harry for the life of you. There were moments where you thought he was just awkward like Lucy said, and then there were those where he just seemed inexplicably cold. Maybe it's just me, you thought, and you couldn't help but feel a little disappointed by that.
When you turned back towards Lucy to ask if she wanted to go find your ducklings, you missed the way rested his face in his hands.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
You weren't sure how it happened, but Harry and Lucy were suddenly a part of your life.
Well, that wasn't totally true. Lucy kept inviting herself over, and you learned very quickly that Harry had a hard time telling her no. Not that you minded. Lucy was sweet, and it was nice having people around.
Harry remained as cold as ever. Over the last few weeks, you knew almost everything about Lucy. As she helped you pick flower crowns, she told you how she preferred her coffee, while you showed her how to make flower crowns and preserve dried flowers, she revealed that Harry was her godfather who helped take care of her, and she told you about her classmate that sang a little too loudly during music class. And while you brewed tea for her tea party, she broke down her meal schedule, from breakfast croissant all the way down to her bedtime glass of steamed milk (non-dairy, of course).
And yet, in all that time, Harry remained a mystery. Unless Lucy included him in a story, you knew as much about him as you did when he was merely someone who came by your stall at the farmer's market.
It didn't bother you, but you were curious as to why stayed so far away whenever you and Lucy hung out.
"Are you free on Saturday night, Y/n?"
You looked up from where you'd been braiding little flowers into Lucy's hair. "I think so. Why? Are you asking to come over?"
"No, I have plans, but you should definitely go out."
She did that a lot, you learned. She liked to tell you what to do with your life and give you advice on how to spend it. Most of it you ignored, seeing as she was nine—though you did take her up on a coffee recommendation she gave you a week ago—but for the most part, you humored her.
"And where should I go?" you asked.
"Wiggles is playing at the Troubadour. You should go see him perform."
Looking over to where Harry sat on a patio chair, you assumed he would be on his phone or staring off into the distance, but his eyes were already on you and Lucy, watching the conversation play out.
"Um..." You weren't really sure how to answer with Harry staring you down like that. Did he want you to say no? Yes? You couldn't tell. "It's kind of last minute, don't you think? I think it might be sold out by now."
"He could work something out. Couldn't you, Harry? Don't you want Y/n to see you perform?"
You didn't know him, but one thing you could assume about Harry Styles was that he didn't like being put on the spot. Looking at you, he said, "If you want to come, I could figure something out."
Lucy jumped up and clapped. "See? Perfect! Now your night won't be boring and Wiggles will be so excited you're coming."
He certainly didn't look very excited. His face morphed into a grimace, though you tried not to be too offended by that.
When it was time for Lucy and Harry to leave, you pulled Harry aside once Lucy was buckled up in the car.
"I won't come if you don't want me to."
Harry shook his head, curls bouncing around his shoulders as he moved. "No, you should. The Troubadour is a cool venue."
"Uh...Okay. Sure. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have plans on Saturday night."
Giving you a curt nod, he said. "Great. I'll text you the details on Friday."
"Cool, I'll see you—then," you said, but he'd already spun around to get in the car.
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"The Troubadour is a cool venue?" Lucy mocked with a giggle.
Harry rested his head on the steering wheel and blew out a heavy sigh. "Shut up, Lucy."
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
You were overdressed.
Or perhaps not appropriately dressed was a better way to put it. You weren't the type to wear a lot of black, but maybe you should've gone out and bought something more suited for a rock concert at the Troubadour. You were in a pair of denim overalls with a floral blouse underneath, a small bouquet of flowers in your hands to give to Harry after his performance.
Everyone at Harry's show was intense, and you were suddenly very glad that you were watching from the second floor. There was a lot of pushing and shoving right in front of the stage, people reaching out in the hopes that Harry would touch their hand.
And Harry. Well, at least now you knew why everyone loved him. Everything about him was hot as he sang onstage. He played guitar, his chest was on display with the button-down that was barely buttoned, and eyeliner was smudged around his eyes, making his green eyes pop. A few times, he looked up to where you were, and you blushed every time. You thought he was cute, like most of the population, but to you that was just a fact. Now, though, butterflies stirred in your stomach.
Maybe it was that Harry seemed to come alive onstage, or that you were finally seeing a side of him other than the quiet, indifferent person you'd become acquainted with through Lucy. Whatever the case, you enjoyed seeing Harry like this, less stoic and more energetic.
When the show was over, you waited and debated. You'd brought flowers for Harry, but his text didn't say anything about the two of you meeting afterward. In truth, your connection was mostly through Lucy, and without her here, there was no reason for you to see each other.
Harry "Wiggles" Styles: You can come backstage if you'd like.
That was certainly unexpected. You made your way to what you assumed backstage, smiling at people as you passed. Some smiled back, and some glared at you when they realized where you were headed.
There was a security guard in front of the green room, but he must have been expecting you because he stepped aside before you could say anything.
"Oh! Sorry! I'll wait outside!"
Apparently, the security guard wasn't aware that Harry was changing out of his stage clothes. He'd been slipping his patterned button-down off his shoulders. You were quick to turn around, but not before catching a glimpse of broad shoulders and an entire chest covered in tattoos. Your heart had just stopped racing after his final performance, but now it was fluttering all over again.
"It's fine, Y/n. You can turn around."
Slowly, you turned on your heel. Harry was already in a t-shirt, a faded Ramones shirt with a stretched collar that revealed tattoos inching up his neck.
"These are—These are for you."
"Thanks."
You awkwardly handed over the flowers for him to take, Harry's fingers brushing yours when he eventually did. You weren't sure why you were so nervous all of a sudden. You'd seen Harry numerous times, so you didn't know why this felt so different.
"I really enjoyed your show tonight. I can see why so many people like you. And the, um, the part where you drank water and then spit it out was cool too. I think the girl next to me almost fainted."
Your nerves were palpable, so you weren't surprised when a smile itched at the corner of Harry's mouth. "I'm glad you had a good time."
Neither of you knew what to say now. Both of you stood in the middle of the green room, Harry holding the bouquet of flowers between ringed-adorned fingers and you wishing you hadn't given them away just yet so your hands had something to fiddle with.
"Well, thanks again for this. I had a lot of fun. Though maybe I should thank Lucy. She kind of forced your hand."
Harry was still staring at you with an unreadable expression. You wished you knew what he was thinking.
"I'm—I'm glad you came tonight," he said.
Your brows raised in surprise. "Really? I kind of thought you hated me."
Why did you have to go and say that, idiot? you thought. Now things were even more awkward than they were before.
Harry frowned, looking genuinely hurt by what you said. "I don't hate you. You think I hate you?"
"Well, no, I mean kinda? I guess I just took you not talking to me as disliking me, and before I even met Lucy you would always look at my stall with this hard expression on your face, and then you would never buy anything. Which is fine except you kept coming back so, I don't know, it just felt like my work wasn't good enough for you and you're always glaring and it—it's just this feeling I have."
You took a deep exhaled, having said all of that in one breath. You didn't come to Harry's show tonight with plans to say all that, but now that you did, you felt a bit better. Though now you worried you may have hurt Harry's feelings.
"I—I was just trying to come up with something," he said.
"Come up with something?"
"To say. To you. I don't know anything about flowers, and you make me nervous, and the fact that I couldn't just make myself go up and talk to you frustrated me to no end. I just didn't want to look like an idiot in front of you."
"Oh."
You had no idea how to respond. All this time, you thought Harry didn't like you, only to find out that he was...nervous to talk to you? You remembered Lucy saying that Harry was shy, but you didn't think it went that deep. Apparently, it did.
"So you...like...me then?" you asked. It sounded to you like Harry had a crush, but you weren't going to make any more assumptions.
"Yeah, I—I've been working up the courage to ask you out for weeks, but Lucy beat me to it. Nosy little menace."
You couldn't help but smile at the mention of Lucy. She really was the cause of all this. "Her heart was in the right place?"
Harry nodded, but he wouldn't meet your eyes. "I understand if—if don't want to. Go out with me that is," he said, pink tinging his cheeks. "Now that I know you thought I hated you and everything. But I don't. You should know that, at the very least."
He looked so defeated with his hair hanging in his face the way it was. All of this was coming as a surprise to you, and as such rendered you speechless. But the longer you went without saying anything, the more Harry seemed to deflate.
"You, uh, you haven't actually asked me yet," you found yourself saying.
You thought Harry was a mystery, and in some respects, he was. He'd been a little rude to you the first few times you spoke to him, but everyone had their off days, and he hadn't been like that since he and Lucy started regularly coming to your house.
And without actually speaking to him much, you knew quite a bit about him. You knew he had a goddaughter, whom he loved very much and let call him Wiggles. You knew that he seemed to have a hard time expressing his feelings unless he was onstage. You knew he had a close group of friends that he hung out with regularly. And you knew he let Lucy put flowers in his hair (but you only knew that because she told you).
It was a short list, but you found yourself wanting to add to it.
Harry looked at you, hope etching his features. "Right, um. Would you like to...to go out sometime?"
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
As your truck pulled into the driveway, you sighed.
You felt like Cinderella after the clock struck twelve. You checked in on all your animals, making sure they were all accounted for. As you finally made it to your bedroom, you replayed the night's events over and over.
You didn't think that was where the night was headed, you almost couldn't believe it. The last few hours felt like a dream, one that you would wake up from any minute now.
But then your phone chimed, and your heart did that weird fluttery thing when you saw who the message was from.
Harry "Wiggles" Styles: I had a really good time tonight.
Harry "Wiggles" Styles: Is it too soon to ask for a second date?

Opening Up
About opening up...Dagur kinda doesn't. (Spoilers ahead)
Tumblr media
This is something I've seen some fans talk about where they say Dagur would reveal personal information easily. I see where they're coming from with this. Looking at Dagur, I'd expect that too. He's outspoken, emotional, unrestrained, etc. He seems like someone who could randomly say, "I had a good cry today," and it wouldn't be anything surprising. HOWEVER, that changes for me when I look at the proof from the show. If Dagur was half as open about things as this would imply, then we wouldn't be forced to speculate so much about his past and the things that have happened to him. In another case of me spending too much time studying Dragons (probably. Still worth it), I tried to collect all the examples of Dagur sharing information. They have something in common. Each time, there's a specific reason. I'll go in chronological order.
In "Enemy of My Enemy," Dagur tells Hiccup how revenge can make you do things you didn't think you were capable. This was an interesting moment of really getting to see how the villain we saw Dagur be wasn't who he always was. It even shocked him how extreme his actions became. This has the potential to be some heavy stuff, but he didn't just outright say it for fun. He said it because he saw Hiccup going down that same path. This isn't, "I can't believe the things I've done and really need someone to talk to." It's, "I see you following in my footsteps and they led me in a terrible direction. I don't want that for you."
It takes Dagur F.O.R.E.V.E.R. to admit he didn't kill Oswald. Even as a good guy, he doesn't say it easily. In "Family on the Edge," he implies that something Heather said out of the sent her adrift, killed their dad, and tried to kill them list wasn't true, but he doesn't just say it. He writes it in the letter, admitting that and how he was worried that the other Berserkers wouldn't follow him otherwise. If he wanted to do it for emotional release reasons, he could've just said the first time or even told her way back when he thought they were on the same side. Rather than that, he puts it in a letter so that her final relative won't be quite as bad as she thinks he is.
In "Searching for Oswald...And Chicken," Dagur has two moments. First, he tells Heather how he's spent most of his life in varying stages of existential crisis. (Just wow for that. Wish we had heard more about it because that is quite the emotional load he nonchalantly dropped) Again, this clearly isn't to get something off his chest because it's not even something he brings up again. He just tells her so that she'll have proof he knows what is meaningless, hopefully getting her to stop throwing herself in harm's way to find Oswald. Later, he tells Hiccup he keeps anger, frustration, and rage to himself. This also isn't to share so much as to prove he can keep secrets and deserves to be trusted with the location of Vanaheim.
Then, we have "In Plain Sight." There, we find out he used to get bullied. He waited until as much of the last moment as possible to tell Fishlegs and Snotlout this. They had already flown from the Edge to Berserker Island and were literally walking down to meet Ansson. So, I don't think it's him wanting to share sensitive information. It's him knowing they're about to be there with the bully and since Ansson doesn't care about playing nice, it's going to be obvious that he used to bully him. This is just softening the blow a little by telling them first. Didn't really help, though, since they still laughed at him being called "Dainty." (Not cool even though I get how weird it would be to hear someone call him that)
Unless I'm mistaken, that's everything. I don't think there's another time when Dagur reveals something personal. Each of these had some deeper purpose. This is why I don't believe Dagur would start speaking about his past traumas without a prompt. Now, I'll say I do enjoy having him talk about this in stories and I support other writers who do. I just believe it takes a little nudge. He's not going to sit down next to someone and talk about his time in jail. He has literally never spoken about his time in jail in the entire show except the first RTTE episode to say that he spent 3 years thinking about Hiccup. So, it actually leaves a lot of room to be creative with what his past even has first, then what situation would get him to spill the beans.

PSA: Back up your blog, check your tumblr e-mail for copyright strikes
Tumblr media
Hi everyone, after suddenly losing my account with main blog + sideblogs last week, I would like to share the following warning with y'all. Not to scare you even though it is shitty, but to raise awareness. If this somehow results in me getting kicked off the platform again, so be it lol.
If you post anything fandom* related on your tumblr blog**, whether that's gifs, screenshots, videos, cosplay pics or even fics (?), you may risk getting a copyright strike (up to 3 in 18 months) or even immediate account termination. The chance is still rather small, but just know that it can happen.
*I say fandom in the broad term, so blogs that post about movies and series, anime/manga, games, celebrities, models, sports/olympics, etc. and it goes for gif and fic creators too. Not just accounts that post music or videos for example.
**I say tumblr blog, but this goes for all of the internet ofc. People have been getting this problem on any platform, from insta to etsy, youtube and twitter.
Tumblr media
Disclaimer: I am no legal expert, just an unlucky blogger who lost her silly multifandom fic blog after 7+ years.
Tumblr media
This will be a bit long and detailed so I proceed under the cut!
What can you do?
...To make sure you don't suddenly lose days, months, and years of content:
CHECK THE EMAIL LINKED TO YOUR TUMBLR. I know a lot of people don't do it, myself included. Tumblr does send warnings (though not always). It wouldn't have changed anything for me because I wouldn't want to appeal - since I don't want to go into this "fair use" discussion for just a fic & editing blog. I personally don't know the chances of retrieving your blog if you protest against the claims, so can't say much about that.
Back up your Tumblr blog if you can. Also save your Tumblr chats with people dear to you if you can. Account termination seems to work differently than deactivation. I was still able to see chats with people who deactivated long ago. But my blog that got terminated has vanished from everyone's DMs and ask boxes à la Thanos snap. I mourn my years of Tumblr chat with my best friend. It was not as if we even considered exporting/copying it just for the memories of the start of our friendship. But now that it's entirely gone, hehe, well. It is sad.
Save URLs and masterposts outside Tumblr. After losing your account, for I thiiink about 24-48hrs (I didn't clock, but it was temporary) you will be able to access it at least temporarily through cachedpages, if you have the URL. It doesn't seem to work for everything, but most of my Tumblr posts I could still see shortly through this site, even after I got wiped off the platform. I did this by googling my tumblr username + certain keywords, and the posts would pop up and give me the URL.
Tumblr media
...To prevent getting copyright strikes and losing your account?
Probably nothing - but like I said, I'm not the expert, just the fool who lost her account. The termination e-mail will give you a numbered URL so it's not easy to see which post resulted in the account loss, but for me the keywords were:
-
Tumblr media
-
Despite the 7+ years of posts, many followers and a lot of memories, I did not gain anything else from this blog and didn't think it was worth the (legal-) risks and effort to try and get it back. It would require filing an objection against the copyright claims with personal info from home address to name, and consenting to USA legal law stuff.
Even if I don't know the exact details, I'm sure they're not wrong, because whether it's fair or not, most fandom stuff has copyright issues in the end, so I can't protest against the claims with 100% certainty it won't get me in real trouble. Besides, I read about similar cases, lost cases, and admitted defeat right away.
They work with manual reports and most dangerously, bots, who seem to be randomly picking unlucky people to take down their posts and possibly the entire account.
So besides putting an entire halt to fic writing, gif making, video editing and other fandom indulgement, or the inconvenient act of censoring every single word and image, I don't think there is a way to entirely prevent getting targeted.
The one that treated me to the strikes leading to account termination was a certain Mr. Green who seems to have targeted mostly people on Etsy. But apparently now also on Tumblr. More about this I can share here for further information. I also share some other links that can inform you about how far the copyright problem can go. Again, no reason to panic. It's rare and I was unlucky. But it happens.
About Mr. Green, using bots all over the internet to take down fandom related material:
Tumblr post about his attack on fandom.
Long detailed doc from an Etsy user.
Insta post about also loss of Etsy account.
Also Etsy related, but same Mr. Green and his bots taking down something only because it used the NAME of an anime character.
Tweet about him and his company not being officially contracted but getting compensated.
About copyright claims on Tumblr - they are still rare, no panic, I just call it russian roulette and these are all unlucky people like me :')
Post by user @/marilynjeansiims about claims against users who post about Sims, including a petition against it.
Post by user @/happyheidi about Moomin posts facing issues.
Post by user @/hanyusan about olympic related claims.
Example by user @/koov about what a vague copyright warning looks like.
Good news, post by user @/yunghos about getting their account back after filing a counter notice. It seems to be possible.
Post by user @/iamkatehardy about getting a strike for using a gif.
Post by user @/stxrshxpxd about getting their acc terminated for no 100% clear reasons.
Post by user @/tekweela about getting terminated mercilessly because of a reblog.
Post by user @/fromanotherroom-revived about losing their account with similar advice as I write here.
Post by user @/ladyphasma about gifs and US law
Knowing this won't bring lost accounts back, or change the law, I do hope at least you can be better prepared just in case it happens... Better prepared than I was at least.

Imagine if Soap started seeing the ghosts of Tommy, Beth, Joseph, and maybe Simon’s mom? Like he has no idea who these people are but they are just like, ‘Oh my god…. That’s Simon’s boy’ and start hanging around
-Anon 🎧
Sadly in the official version of this AU, if they've ever been ghosts they have since moved on and disappeared, but this would be funny as an alternate universe of this alternate universe lmao
So I've written this, it's not really what you said but it's what came to me, maybe I'll write more later, as like a side story or something
"Who are you?"
Soap wakes up with a startle. There's a child standing next to the bed, frowning down at him. A dead child. For some reason he had almost forgotten that sometimes ghosts just come up to him on their own. Children especially, as if they were more discerning of his abilities than adults.
"Huh, hi, I'm Soap," he whispers back to not wake up Simon. Bug isn't anywhere to be seen, but that's not really unusual. His new found abilities to sleep don't work every night, and watching people sleep gets pretty boring. He's probably just roaming around the base.
The child frowns harder. He can't be more than four, with wavy dark blond hair and brown eyes, wearing a super-hero pyjama, blood dripping from the bullet wounds on his chest.
Fuckin hell... It never gets easier.
"You're not Uncle's boyfriend," the child pouts at him with all the might of a toddler.
"Uuuh," Soap hesitates, long enough for the arm around his stomach to tighten its grip, a clear sign that Simon is waking up.
"Wha's goin on?" The older man mumbles against his neck.
"There's a child," Soap answers, "I'm trying to understand what he wants."
"Hmm. Where's Bug?"
"I don't know-"
"Uncle Simon!" The child interrupts him gleefully, now beaming, his frown apparently completely forgotten.
Soap freezes. This man can't catch a break. How does he even go about this? A light thump coming from the door, followed by a "ow!" interrupts his panicking. The door opens right after and Roach comes in, rubbing at his forehead.
"Guys I know none of us know what's happening but I'm gonna need you to start researching, I can't keep becoming material randomly, it hurts and it's embarrassing when I'm spying on people - oh god."
"Uncle Bug!" The child yells again, bouncing on his heels.
Simon's breath quickens slightly behind him, probably still not used to seeing his dead lover, even after a couple weeks of this, which honestly Soap thinks is fair, before he tenses up.
"What are you both not telling me," he demands, sitting up in the bed.
"Are you a friend of my uncle, then?" The child turns back to Soap with less of a frown.
"Uh, no," Bug saves him from answering. "Well, yes, actually, but he's also his boyfriend, like me."
The little boy looks pensive, trying to understand. Simon grabs Soap's arm and turns him around, forcing him to look up at him.
"Johnny, talk to me." His voice is so gentle still, especially when he says his name, but Soap knows it's not a request. It's his officer's voice.
"Maybe ye should ask Bug...?" He tries.
"Bug isn't as easy to break as you."
And he's right. All it takes is for his eyebrows to start pointing up pleadingly and it's over. He's weak, what can he say.
"The child," he sighs, "he's calling ye Uncle Simon. He's basically a toddler, five at most, blond, with-"
"-Brown eyes," Simon interrupts him, looking like he was stabbed. "I know, I only have one nephew."

TF2 BAND AU!!!!
Sorta, the band part is more of an extra side thing, it's more of a modern au but they also happen to be in a band.
Me and my tiktok mutual have been working on this au and I've decided to share some of our ideas for it :D I wanna eventually draw something for this au!!
I'm gonna go by character, though keep in mind we are very biased so some characters have a LOT more then others (still this is gonna be a longg post)
But first some general things: their band is called "Team Fortress 2" bc that's the game no way!! They chose to make it 2 bc they thought it was cooler then just Team Fortress. They all go by their canon names (except Spy and Pyro) but I'm gonna continue to refer to them as their classes, even tho they aren't mercenaries in this au and don't have classes but shh ok
Scout
Plays the guitar (can also play drums but insists on being the lead guitarist)
Barely goes to practice, only started going more because Soldier forced him to (they live together)
Practices for performances the day of/a few minutes before performing (or to try impress someone)
Lives in an apartment
Can read, but it takes him really long and he has to sound out ever word (people think he's leaving them on read when really he's just trying to read their message)
Has a motorcycle
Works as a delivery boy for Heavy's family restaurant (more on that later) except the food always arrives cold bc it takes him so long to read the address
Doesn't question the food that "randomly" appears in his fridge, or the raccoon in his apartment (again more on those 2 later)
Has a collection of weirdly shaped guitars (he brings a different one to every practice/performance and it's chaos bc they all sound different)
Streams games on twitch sometimes
He's still scared of Pyro (still)
His room/apartment is a mess, like dirty clothes on the floor kind of messy
Soldier
Plays the trumpet (and most wind instruments, but in the band he plays trumpet. Does it match the rest of the band? No, but he insists on playing trumpet)
Soldier forces Scout to go to practice, like he will physically pick him up ("WE HAVE PRACTICE MAGGOT AND BY GOD WE ARE GOING TO GET THERE ON TIME. NO ONE WAITS FOR YOU IN WAR AND I CERTAINLY WILL NOT WAIT FOR YOU" - Soldier probably)
Changes jobs a lot not because he gets fired but because he just feels like it
Insists he's homeless but he sleeps at Scout's apartment and basically lives there, just sleeps on the couch though he doesn't have a room (Scout offered his spare room but he declined saying he was homeless and not staying there long. He still hasn't left 2 years later)
Brought a stray raccoon he named Lieutenant Bites to Scout's apartment
(Along with Scout) begged Medic to learn how to care for raccoons for Lieutenant Bites
Thinks the food that appears in Scout's fridge is some spirit bringing food for them (he doesn't care, he still eats it)
Pyro
Plays drums
Unemployed, sometimes helps Engie at his workshop
Wears the same thing they do in game, everyone else has a sorta simplified/weapon-free version of their outfit (or the same, depending on the character) but they wear the same thing as in game, gas mask and all
Lives with Engie, their room is super colorful and childish
Has a big cabinet in their room full of lighters (they collect lighters)
Like to paint/draw on the walls of their room, invite people to draw with them but everyone is too scared to enter their room so the only one who really does it is Engie, who isn't scared of them
No one knows where Pyro came from, they showed up to practice one day and killed it on the drums so everyone just accepted them into the band, and then Pyro followed Engie home and just stayed there
No one knows Pyro's name, but they answer to Pyro so everyone just calls them that
Most of the other members can't understand what they say, Engie can
Goes to Medic anytime their stuffed animals are damaged and begs for them to be healed
Makes friendship bracelets for the band but no one wears them at first (they eventually do, after being threatened by Pyro)
Heavy
Main vocals (has the voice of an angel)
Brought his family to New Mexico (from Russia ofc) and his family opened a sandwich restaurant
Their restaurant also doubles as their house so his room is just above the restaurant, his room is pretty clean
Works at the restaurant
Sasha exists we are currently discussing on whether she will stay the same or become like a trombone
Is also scared of Pyro
Demoman
Plays the keytar (and a bagpipe bc he's Scottish but in the band he plays keytar)
Lives in his mansion, it's fairly clean, but his room is messy
Lives with his mom

BSD characters as parents
Summary: losing their child in a mall
Warnings: mention of kidnapping, going missing in a mall (is it considered as a warning or not? Idk so I'm going to put it here still)
A.n: requests are now open! Also don't forget to follow up if you are interested in the fanfics I'm making!
Characters: Ranpo, Kunikida, Dazai, Fukuzawa, Kouyou
Masterlist and Rules
.
.
.
Kunikida Doppo
It's a mystery how his child manages to go missing while he was there tbh
Mostly calm, calls the security and informs them about the situation.
He is a teacher so he most likely dealt with children getting lost random places during school trips before so not freaking out too much
Probably start to get nervous after an hour later
When his child is found and taken back to him, he scolds his child and thanks the security
His scolds aren't too scary but they are visibly spoken with care and worry.
Would be proud of if his child also acts calm like him like father like child-
Ranpo Edogawa
There's two options, one he knew his child left him to look for something/chase something and kinda let them go to see their reactions; or he joined his child while chasing something
He always has an eye on his child even when he is extremely busy due to some inner fear of losing his child but makes sure to hide it successfully
Knows where his child directly is, so he doesn't have any worries
Would start to get worried after half an hour of his child's absence and would simply get bored and find his child
This doesn't happen often cause probably his child is the one who follows their father everywhere, especially in the subway.
Dazai Osamu
Like Ranpo actually, knows where his child is so doesn't panic but still put a dramatic act when his child finds their way back to him
Doesn't let his chief get lost, mostly watches them afar to see his child's reaction and waits for them to find him.
He randomly disappears to see his child's reaction, so his child mostly get used to it by now
He would go to their side if they start to cry or someone he don't trust is watching/near/ in the same place as them
He is chill about it, even though he sometimes gets worried deep inside when his child disappears in the crowd but manages to spot them soon
Ozaki Kouyou
Panicked.
Looks around for her child, sends her men to find her child in a instant
She is scared to lose another person she loved actually, so she would freak out inside
When her child d back in her arms, she would pull them into a tight hug as taking deep breaths to calm herself
Afterwards, she scolds her child before teaching them to not let go of her hand in public.
She was low-key scared and panicked, and won't leave her child's side for next 2-3 weeks
Fukuzawa Yukichi
Another how
Probably didn't even realise it till 5 minutes later
Thought his child was kidnapped for a second before pushing that scenario back of his head and calling the security to find his child.
Still, the thought would be in his mind alongside with like 50+ scenarios.
He lets out a relief sigh when his child is found and taken back to him
Hug his child close and tight for a while to calm himself while murmuring small scolds to his child like "don't do this again" "didn't I tell you to don't let go of my hand?" "You scared me there, kid"
Thank the security before leaving, he lost interest in what he was going to do in the mall by now
Many scolds afterwards, man felt himself having a heart attack when his child was lost so not again.

Pairing: ARMIN Arlert x f.reader
Summary: the Lieutenant meets the Nurse in a field hospital. Commotion follows after their fleeting moment of bliss in the broom closet.
Warnings; angst, secret kissing, brief mention of blood/wounds, being caught
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Clouds clustered in the sky while military men and nurses started cramming themselves into their trains. Loved ones gave soldiers departing hugs, words, tears, kisses…
Among the buzz, the Lieutenant craned his neck in search for you. His eyes darted around the station.
The train station rung with laughter and sobs. Relatives and darlings gave their impassioned goodbyes; some hopeful, some a garble of sobs. Armin passed an elderly woman who was crying so hard on her nephew’s uniform that he thought her lungs might burst.
He searched the crowd for you, attentive to each uniform and armband. There were nurses gathering in preparation for the next train that would follow the soldier unit’s train, so his search was hasty. And, after a few minutes, proved futile because the train that you presumably boarded was departing.
“Stop craning your neck around, you’ll get an ache for nothing.”  Eren thumped his hand on Armin’s shoulder. So, Armin stopped searching.
Dreamy, longing eyes dragged along the floor as he went with his friends and embarked on the soldier unit’s train. He and Eren took seats with the others in the compartment where the Commander sat with Levi and Hange.
“You said last night,” Armin began on a distracted note. “That the farewell party was probably the last time I’d see her and be able to smile.”
“I did say that... I’m sorry, is that depressing to think about?”
Armin half-heartedly chuckled, “No. I’m an optimistic person. Anyways, personally, I believe – whether this sounds implausible to you or not – that I’ll see her again and still be able to smile.”
His friend looked down at the wooden table that divided their seats. The compartment was quite large, but the overwhelming presence of Levi’s squad made it seem smaller than it actually was.
“You really are optimistic.” Eren said after thinking for a while.
Armin stared out the window and watched the passing trees blur into countryside, then blur into other landscapes, until they reached the port. There, they disembarked the train, and embarked on the ship. Through it all, Armin searched and searched, never giving up, until he caught a glimpse of the back of you as you boarded the other ship. Much too far to communicate, Armin settled for admiring you for possibly the last time. He wished you would have turned around.
⁕⁕⁕
His shirt was stained crimson.
Bloodied hands were holding up his struggling comrade as he carried him to the field hospital. The night felt eerie and strange, or maybe those feelings were owed to the battle that he had just narrowly escaped. Their side wasn’t doing well.
Who knows what had happened – Armin never talked about anything like that night to someone as gentle-minded as you. When he saw you scurrying around cots filled with wounded soldiers, his heart battered around in his ribcage. He was so startled and happy to see you that his grip on his comrade slacked; a weak groan of pain brought Armin’s attention back to the poor man.
Bringing his comrade to a cot and laying him down, Armin signalled for you. At first, it felt like you were seeing a figment of your imagination. Neither of you had the opportunity to talk with the noise and severeness that filled the patient ward.
But body language was more than enough. Eye contact. Shaking hands. Stolen glances. You were so excited to see him again that you spilled some iodine. It felt as if you had forgotten how to do anything when he appeared.
You don’t remember why, but for some reason it was very difficult to nurse his comrade. A distracting nausea overcame you.
After clearing away medical instruments, you went to the opposite end of the ward to the door, where Armin was standing waiting by an empty cot. The night had calmed down, all the patients had been treated and most had fallen into an uneasy sleep.
“Lieutenant.” You called his name excitedly, wiping your clammy palms on your grey uniform.
Armin raised a finger to his lips and nodded for you and him to sneak off somewhere less risky, where you had no chance of being caught by your father who he had already spotted lurking around the patients every now and then.
⁕⁕⁕
You snuck off to the broom closet with the Lieutenant. Yes, a tiny, cramped broom closet that smelled lightly of medicine and gunpowder.
“I’m so sorry. This isn’t exactly a romantic place for me to whisk you away to.” Armin apologized sincerely.
You looked at him dreamily. To be back in his presence and hear his voice was so fulfilling that you were unfazed by the unflattering environment.
“Don’t apologize, Lieutenant. As long as it’s with you, I don’t mind where I’m whisked away to.” You replied honestly. That put a sheepish smile on his face.
A smile is a rare thing to see on a soldier’s face in the field hospital. Yours was a serene and patient one, as Armin described it decades later in his memoirs as “A smile capable of bringing comfort to a dying soldier. One incomprehensibly soothing.”
In the broom closet, you and him shared secret intimacies, until there was a commotion outside that tore you two apart. Armin’s breath staggered on your lips, his hands clutching yours against his chest.
“I guess we’ll have to resume when we meet again.”
“I guess.” You smiled at him dreamily.
The two of you emerged from the broom closet. A sullen face shocked you and Armin out of your bodies.
“Father…” you choked, and began blabbering excuses and apologies. He looked as if his gut was wrenched. You trembled and choked “I’m so sorry… father! I’m so sorry!” over and over.
Your father only looked at you with a disappointed, resigned expression. It hurt your heart.
“Sir.” Armin gulped nervously.
When your father finally spoke, his words marred you more deeply than if he would have shouted like before when he caught you and Armin together.
“I thought it was awful when you stole my daughter away at the farewell party when you saw me approaching the two of you, Lieutenant Arlert.” He paused, completing that expression to Armin and then directing himself at you. “All I have to say… is that I’m sad that you betrayed your promises to me. All I wanted was for you to protect your sensitive heart; a girl like you shouldn’t have to deal with something as difficult as loving a soldier.”
⁕⁕⁕
He promptly told Captain Levi. You were summoned to the Commander’s office. Though you could understand that punishment was inevitable, you couldn’t wrap your head around exactly why you were seeing the Commander; surely he was busy panicking in the heat of this hazy commotion. There had been an enemy sighting. And since forces were weakened, everyone got flustered about it. Especially considering it was a moonless night.
You remember watching Armin as he saluted his superiors. It was an automatic, immediate salute; was it attractive because he was a soldier, or because he was the man you loved? Perhaps both.
Erwin’s rumbling voice punctured the silence.
“You are a good nurse. I want you to accompany Levi, keep at his side.” He commanded you.
A confused relief crossed your chest. “Sir, I’m confused. Wasn’t I called to be reprimanded?”
He almost laughed. “I can’t reprimand an innocent young lady such as yourself. The fault lies with Armin.” He said severely, but then broke character and joked to lighten to heavy mood. “A hundred push-ups. And preferably next time don’t take pretty ladies to broom closets to kiss.”
Armin flushed so bright red that you thought then, if you would compare him to a red poppy flower from outside, that it would seem less red than him. His blush boyishly spread down to his jawline.
“Yes, sir.”
⁕⁕⁕
When you learned that Armin was going to head out in separate directions, you had a breakdown and wouldn’t let go of him. You sobbed loudly, causing a great scene. Armin pulled you to the side to console you, begging his glaring Captain for just a few minutes alone with you.
He managed to soothe you with his words. “We’ll meet again.” He said over and over. He talked about things the two of you would do when the war was over and you returned home for good.
You bore a serious, tear-streaked face up to him. Your eyes were red, nose sniffly.
His departing proclamation was;
“My heart is devoted to you.”

anon who suggested demon beastzai here again !! meeting demon beastzai probably consists of months withstanding very very strange things happening wherever you go and even more so within your house. from lights flashing off and on, scratch marks on the wall, your stuff going missing, things being misplaced…. im not sure how reader and demon beastzai would even meet but i would think after you did, he got hooked on you immediately therefore the weird things start happening
it isnt until he actually makes himself FULLY known to you does he start showing up in front of you with little to no regards of your comfort, im sorry you just have a new roommate !! no takesies backsies !! he lingers behind you randomly , wrapping his arms around him and dotes on you. sure maybe he messes you with and maybe it’s a lot but it’s nothing too serious!!! yet. yet at least. unless youre so insistent on getting rid of him but you dont really have the power to actually do so, so he plays with you lightly <3
oh and he totally watches you take baths or showers, he’s like a cat he will follow you into every room. and let him nuzzle you while he holds you in bed wont you? no he won’t let you outside that much anymore, if you need something he can just order someone to get it for you ! he has a lot of power you know ? why would you need to go outside without him? if you really want to that badly, he supposes he could shapeshift into a human form but he’d really rather stay at home with you.
also going back to what someone said abt the demons faking that they have heats/ruts YOU CANNOT TELL ME THAT DOES NOT HAVE DEMON BEASTZAI ALL OVER IT. HE WOULD DEFINITELY DO THIS…. just hearing him whine while he buries his face into your neck and he presses against you, practically humping you and hes just complaining about how painful this rut is for him !!! even the strongest demons have their weaknesses, youre the only person who can help him :(( he cant go to anyone else
I also don't know how demon Beastzai would come around to be honest.... he just pops up and decides to stay. The closest explanation I can come up with is he's some sort of lord/ruler in the underworld? That could serve as substitute for the PM, but I'm not too concerned about logistics I want the vibes. Somehow, someway, Beastzai decides he's your new roommate and now refuses to leave. Even worse if you live in a little studio apartment, because it's impossible to keep your distance or have any personal space. He'll sit with you, sneak into your bed, poke his head into the bathroom while you're showering, and nothing you do or say will stop him.
Beastzai also refuses to let you leave! He can magic groceries and takeout into your hands, you can shop and order stuff online, why would you ever have to step foot outside? If you complain about being confined to such a small space he'll offer to bring you back home with him, but of course that "home" isn't anywhere in this plane of existence. If you insist on going outside he shapeshifts into a hauntingly beautiful man, his dark fur turning into a dark coat, claws turning into long, nimble fingers. If the light hits his eye just right you swear it looks red. And he holds your hand everywhere you go, of course. Doctors' office, grocery store, he'll even hang off your arm while you're trying to work, exercise, go to class... And he'll be whining constantly about going back inside. He's got a million excuses: pollen, the sun hurts his eyes, he doesn't like getting wet, it's too hot, it's too cold, people make him anxious... It's neverending. And god forbid you have to take public transport, he'll hug you from behind, rest his chin on your shoulder, and glower at anyone who tries to stand close to you until they get off.
As for how he'd look, I have a few ideas but he's mostly the same as regular Demonzai. Big, tall, not buff just broad shouldered, horns and fangs and big claws. Lots of dark brown/black fur especially on his stomach and back. Maybe slit pupils? Yellow or red eyes, perhaps a forked tongue. He might even have backwards knees like animals do, generally I imagine him as part goat with some monster features added. If you strip him naked there won't be a lot of difference between Beast Demonzai and normal Demonzai imo, maybe a few more scars on Beastzai.
Also OUGJSVJDKVJD YES HE FAKES HIS RUTS ALL THE TIMEEEE he gets extra clingy and puts his hands all over you and whines pathetically, humping your leg and crying about how painful it is, walking naked around the house because he's "overheating" and conveniently letting you see every inch of him... And much like regular Demonzai he's not opposed to straight up holding you down and taking what he wants, or using you in your sleep.

I've had this idea as a sketch for over two months waiting on my desk to be finish. So let me introduce to you Coltik and Trainantula. Now this idea was obviously based on the horror game monster Choo Choo Charles, now I actually don't like horror games or horror genre in general, but what brought this on was actually watching
What if You (and Charles) Talked in Choo Choo Charles? (Parody) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yLASJ9T-BxI
Which made this idea in my head pop up, which is probably because I'm a Pokemon Subway Boss fan, but after sketching the original idea, I actually tried to write a one shot fanfic of Subway Boss Emmet encountering this fakemon, I called it 'Spider Down By The Tracks' but sadly its unfinished/unpublished as I just don't have the time to write these days at the moment =(
But the gist of the story was this mysterious Giant Cyrtid Spider Pokemon had been grabbing lone passengers from trains or from the platforms. Its targets were always alone, so imagine the horror its late, your taking the train back home, your tired and your the only one in the train car, when suddenly you hear a loud train whistle like noise, it startles you back to more awake state as you had been startling to dose off, then suddenly the car suddenly smoke leaks through the windows filling the place up with up with smoke, you cough and splutter trying to get to the door, when suddenly a light shines from behind you turn to face it to see this creature - cue scream and cut to black.
So the story is set a year and a half after Ingo disappears to Hisui, so these sudden chain of disappearances (As the camera feed cut's out before the 'attack' happens so they don't know its a Giant Cyrtid Spider Pokemon) is rekindling the talk of Ingo disappearance obviously that just fuels Emmet to get to the bottom of this issue and find the Pokemon or person responsible.
So the story plan was to follow a 'new' depot agent (OC) who had recently joined the staff, who was now debating his life choices with these sudden disappearances happening especially with the rumours going round that maybe Subway Boss Emmet had something to do with them, considering what happened to his brother as these disappearances seem eerily similar to the missing Subway Boss case.
And Subway Boss Emmet seems to always 'smiling' shouldn't he upset about the disappearances? Most people not realizing that's just how Emmet face default expression is. The new Depot agent OC starts believing the lies that Emmet is secretly a serial killer and is hiding the bodies in abandoned subway tunnels and Ingo was just the first victim. None of this is helped by Emmet's sudden odd behaviour (It's just Emmet trying to figure out what's going on, but he keeps accidentally freaking out the new guy) But also sighted talking to an unknown induvial (Its Looker)
Eventually OC and Another OC (This one has been telling main OC all the bad rumours of Subway Boss Emmet) were on the last train of the night when they get attacked, both getting taken and waking up later in an underground cave system they have no idea what's going on and quickly look for a way out, quickly spotting some joltiks and deciding to follow them out, eventually finding old train tracks, but as they are going down the tunnel they see a light, and think its the Trainantula again and start running.
They soon stop when it turns out its actually Emmet and Depot Agent Cloud, having followed a trail of Joltiks to find the missing depot agents. They reveal that Emmet had been using his horde of Joltiks to search the tunnels daily. He's developed a unique way for them to communicate to him so thats the reason he had been popping up randomly was because his Joltiks were altering him of an issue in the area that OC happened to be in.
It turns out the the 'Other' OC the main OC had been teamed up with and had also been telling main OC all those terrible rumours was actually a Team Rainbow Rocket Grunt in disguise. Who had infiltrated Gear Station on a mission to get access to the security system and other stuff.
Theirs is a battle, but it doesn't last long as the grunt it loosing badly but then the Trainantula makes sudden appearance and nabs Depot Agent Cloud stopping the battle and forcing a mild truce between the two groups.
--------------- A little scene from the fic
"Did you see how big those teeth were! they were huge!"
"I am Emmet, they are called fangs not teeth"
"Not helping Boss"
" I think correctly wrongful information is verrrrry helpful! Yep!"
"Shouldn't we be trying to stay silent? what if it hear us?"
"I am Emmet, it doesn't need to hear us, to find us"
"That's the worst thing you could possibly said"
"Actually no" Emmet turning his head slowly to look back at them "The worse thing I could say, is that its right behind you"
---------------------------------------
That's when a light suddenly appears behind OC and Grunt, OC and Grunt scream in panic but its quickly revealed to be Ingo's Chandelure. Emmet is laughing at them while greeting Chandelure, the Grunt then snaps verbally lashes out at Emmet for always 'smiling' and not seeming to be taking his situation seriously, how could he be smiling when they are being hunted by a giant Spider Pokemon! for all they knew this Pokemon was responsible for Subway Boss Ingo's disappearance/death!
"I am Emmet, that's not possible, these tracks were not in the tunnels when Ingo disappeared" Emmet then shows with his lantern the Pokemon tracks on the dirt floor.
---------------------------------------
OC and Team Rocket Grunt had been thinking Emmet was leading them out, but it's revealed that Emmet is searching for the other missing depot agent and passengers, but also to find the Trainantula as its his duty as a Subway Boss to make sure for passenger safety and that everyone makes it to their preferred destination, that means he's going to find them.
"We are getting close, Yep!"
"Getting close to what?"
"The nest"
"Why couldn't you have said exit"
--------------------------------------
So they find the nest, reveal that the Trainantula has been webbing up the missing people so that its Coltik's can feed on their life force, as it turns out they are a Bug/Ghost type and similar to the Chandelure evo line they feed on spiritual/life energy.
Emmet battles the Alpha Trainantula while OC goes to recuse the missing people and Team Rocket Grunt chooses to run away in the chaos.
Emmet win's and captures the Trainantula in a greatball, but it's revealed he had a MasterBall on him the whole time. When question why he didn't use that, he said it was given to him by a mysterious third party who wanted him to catch the Pokemon for 'Research', but Emmet didn't trust these mysterious people and so captured the Pokemon himself.
They then gather the missing people and collect the Coltik's and leave that place, everyone is okay, but the Team Rocket Grunt is now missing.
When they get out of the cave system/old subway tunnel's and back to the train station they encounter Looker and Anabel along with other recuse searchers. Poeple are returned to their family's its a big heartfelt thing and after some people look over Trainantula and the Coltik's its believed that Trainantula is actually from another dimension, as ultra wormhole energy is detected on it.
They order Emmet to hand over the Pokemon but he refuses to give up Trainantula and the Coltik's, saying he can manager them as he is both familiar with the their world variant and Ghost Pokemon of that nature 'Look to Chandelure' but he is willing to get help/allow Professor Juniper to study them.
After more talking and Emmet refusing to back down, it's agree he can watch over these new Pokemon, but he'll be under watchful eyes for it.
-----------------
I reveal in an minor epilogue the Mysterious third party had hoped Giratina was still lurking around in the subway tunnels and why they had given Emmet the masterball in hopes of obtaining it for their unknown purpose.
I then cut to the tunnels where the Grunt is hopelessly lost but then encounters red eyes in the dark, basically meeting Giratina and an unknown fate.

Synopsis: 💎 When your old high school best friend, and admittedly, first love randomly shows up at your door one morning after a bit over ten years apart, your memories of him that you once locked away comes flooding back. Are you open to hearing him out after all this time? (In other words…will you take your man back or nah?)
♕Pairings: Kazutora X Black Fem Reader 🛑Content: 18+, Eventual smut, Some grief, Some angst ~Crossposted On: Wattpad ONLY ~Updating WEEKLY

CHAPTER 2: HANEMIYA-SAN
Thankfully, your mom hadn't caught you looking a hot mess with your shirt buttons all ripped off last night as you came home. You just knew she'd lose her mind if she found out what happened, and you didn't feel like stressing her out with that story.
Today was fairly warm, around 20 degrees (68 in Fahrenheit), usual for this time of year. It was almost Autumn, the weather starting to act like it too.
You had texted your group chat last night, telling Asuka and Yumi a bit about what happened last night. They both stated how they wanted a more in-depth version of the story today at school, so that's what you were doing now as you all walked together.
"That's so terrifying! I'm so glad you're ok, oh my gosh." Asuka said, wrapping her arms around you from the side for a hug. Yumi quickly followed suit from the right of you, nuzzling her cheek on your upper arm.
"Thanks guys, I was so scared. If it weren't for that boy who came to help, I might not have shown up today, or any other day to be honest." You sigh, a somber tone in your voice.
"Speaking of that boy...give us the details!" Asuka chimes in.
"Yeah! He really came in and just beat him up?!" Yumi added.
"Yeah, he sure did! It was actually kinda scary. I was worried he was gonna break his bones or something." You admit.
"Woooow! You gotta admit that's so hot though, 'cause that means he's super strong! A high school boy beating up a college guy?! Woooow." Yumi swooned, placing her hands over her chest like a Disney princess. You deadpan playfully, deep down knowing this would come up.
"I'm gonna be honest, it's kind of giving...he might be a gang boy." Asuka said smugly, nudging your arm.
"What do you mean? Just 'cause he beat his ass doesn't mean he's in a gang-
"Ahhhh! Don't be so naive! Think about it, a high schooler beating the ever-loving crap out of a college aged man?! That just screams delinquency!" She shot back rather animatedly.
"Delinquency is crazy." You chuckle, amused that she used that word.
"The real question is...was he hot?" Yumi smirked nudging your arm playfully.
You feel your cheeks heat up a bit, recalling the way you felt so self-conscious of how you looked while with him, and how you caught yourself stealing looks his way more than a few times on the way to your home.
"Ooooo! The hesitation says it all!" Yumi practically hollered.
"I-I mean, you know, he wasn't...ugly." You stuttered out, trying to downplay how you felt about his looks.
"Right right." Asuka rolled her eyes playfully. "Just admit it, you think he's super hot, don't you?" She pressed, a devious smirk on her face.
"Ok well, sure, he was-...he was fine as hell." You finally swoon by the end of your confession, looking at the girls with hearts in your eyes. You all squeal, smacking each others arms before trying to settle down, catching the attention of passerby's.
"Shhh! Alright Aright! He could be anywhere y'all." You giggle.
"Oh my gosh! What if we see him today?!" Yumi murmured excitedly, her voice high in pitch as she tried not to squeal again.
"Honestly, if he was here I'd literally run home-
"Oh don't start that! You look so good today as usual. You did your hair all cute, your uniform skirt makes your butt look nice and jiggly, and your lipgloss is to die for! If he saw you he'd probably like..get hard or something." She shrugs nonchalantly.
"Yumi!" You smacked her arm, feeling your face heat up all over again.
"Whaaaat?! It's true!"
As we reached the main entrance of the school, there seemed to be a little bit of commotion as soon as we got inside. People were murmuring and chatting all over.
"What's going on?" Asuka asked some girls by the front who were quietly squealing amongst each other. You recognized two of the three girls in the group, Miyazaki-chan and Hayashi-chan, two girls in your grade. Both you and Yumi caught up to Asuka, joining in on the conversation.
"Are you kidding me, you haven't heard?! There's a super hot third year that just showed up today, and like all the girls are going crazy about him." Miyazaki-chan explains excitedly, gesturing with her thumb further down the hall.
"Really?" You scrunch your face up in confusion. It's literally all these girls around the halls acting like Michael Jackson just pulled up from the grave or something, and it's all just about some third year boy?
"Yeah! Hanako-chan saw him too!" Hayashi-chan says.
The other girl in the group, Hanako-chan nodded her head frantically. "I've only ever seen him once before now. He came into school just a few minutes ago! You should've seen 'em." She swooned, falling over onto Miyazaki-chan who laughed in response. Yumi nudged you discreetly, gaining your attention. "What if it's him?" She whispered towards your ear, an excited tone in her voice just like the other girls. That question made your heart flutter as a distinct realization hit you. Last night Kazutora had said he was a third year too, didn't he? He mentioned he goes to this school also.
"Wait wait, guys. Do you know his name?" You butted in, cutting off whatever Hayashi-chan was saying. They all looked towards each other, grinning like maniacs.
"Hanemiya-san." They sighed at the same time.
"Hanemiya?" You mutter back, disappointment dripping admittedly heavily from your voice. It must not be the same guy from last night. Still, you were curious about Hanemiya-san seeing as he had so many girls shook. He might as well be a school-wide celebrity.
💎
As the day went by, your patience had started to run thin. It seemed no matter where you were you would always just miss him. Other girls and friends would tell you "girl, are you serious?! He just walked by to his next class; how could you miss him?!". Like damn, you didn't know what he looked like, how were you supposed to know? But the curiosity was starting to ache, you wanted to see him, and figure out what all the hype was about. He better be fine as hell too since all day girls have been going absolutely crazy. You've even heard some guys whispering rumors and whatnot about him too.
Now it's lunch time, and you were determined to lay your eyes on him during this fifty minute period. You sat with Asuka, Yumi and the other girls from this morning at a table near the cafeteria window, all determined for you to see him as everyone else has today except for you.
"This is actually ridiculous, y'all. How'd every girl in the whole school see him except me?! Like, damn!" You groan dramatically.
"Maybe you need a new prescription?" Yumi joked. You pursed your lips in response. "Whatever, I'm gonna get somethin' to drink from the vending machine, y'all want somethin'?" You asked, standing from your seat at the table.
"Ehh, I'm good."
"No, it's fine."
"I already got something."
None of the girls wanted anything so it was just you. You wanted to make it quick so your lunch didn't get cold or, better yet, didn't miss Hanemiya-san somewhere in the caf.
Practically speed walking you finally reach the nearest vending machine, getting yourself your favorite strawberry ramunè. Thankfully, the drink came out without any technical issues, which tends to happen pretty often. You were just about to head on back until the sound of boisterous laughter resounded from one of the classrooms. You furrowed your brows, for some reason becoming nosy, something you never usually were.
"Ha! You're an idiot! You don't know shit about girls."
You peeked from the door, trying to stay well hidden.
"I know about girls! You've never even had a girlfriend!"
"I don't need one to know what they like, bumbass."
Your mouth almost hit the floor, a tiny gasp escaping you as you saw who all was in here. You know those situations where everyone in the group of guys was fine? Yeah no, this was not that. More like one third of the group was gorgeous, and it happened to be Kazutora, that same boy from last night sitting there with a cute wide smile just watching his two friends bicker. He had on the school uniform, obviously, but kinda swagged it out to match with his aesthetic. That same Christmas-looking bell earring was in his left ear, and that tiger tattoo sat loud and proud on his neck in complete view thanks to the style of the uniform.
They each were sitting down, one on the desk, and the other two in chairs pulled out in a triangle formation. Kazutora sat facing the back of the chair, his elbows resting on the desk behind him comfortably.
You were staring, practically drooling, for a good while before he seemed to notice your presence, his eyes glancing over towards you at the door abruptly. You jumped back, placing your free hand on your chest as your eyes widened.
"What? Someone there?" One of his friends asked. That was all it took for you to snap out of your shock, quickly booking it down the hallway and back to the caf.
The girls all noticed you as you walked over to the table. "Girl, you good? You look a little....outta breath." Asuka raised a brow, trying not to laugh. "Ha..." Was all you managed to get out as you sat down back in your chair, looking dazed. "Oooo guys, I think she might've finally seen Hanemiya-san." Miyazaki-chan chuckled, her tone purely mischievous. The girls all looked towards you with wide eyes for confirmation.
"I don't know 'bout no Hanemiya-san, but I did see that boy from last night." You said with a dramatic swoon in your voice.
"Waaaaait! Who?!" Miyazaki-chan's eyes widened. The other girls also had their own expressions of bewilderment as they waited for an explanation.
"This super hot, knight in shining armor ass guy from our school saved her from almost getting raped last night." Yumi explained with a prideful grin, nodding her head.
"Really?! Oh my gosh!" They all gasped at about the same time.
"Mhmm, it was a college guy that he beat up, too!" She added, her grin at this point was giving the grinch. The girls all gasped.
"A guy at our school beat up a college student?! He's gotta be one of the gang boys." Hanako-chan said.
Suddenly, Hayashi-chan out-bursted, slamming her hands on the table, gasping hard while coming to some sort of realization about something. "Oh.my.gosh! Guys, what if that guy that saved her last night was Hanemiya-san?!" She inquired, looking absolutely shook at her own theory. You watched in amusement as all the girls pondered over the idea, then excitedly come to an agreement with it.
"It's not Hanemiya-san, guys. He told me his name last night and it ain't that." You waved them off, chuckling to yourself as you shook your head. "Besides, I saw him just now, that's why I was lookin' so shook."
"Wait, you saw him?! The guy from last night?! What'd he look like?!" Hanako-chan fired questions left and right.
"Uhhh, well he's gotta earring, and pretty light brown eyes, and uhh he has dark hair with blonde highlights...and...." You trailed off watching as everyone's faces slowly turned shocked.
"One last thing", Miyazaki-chan started, her tone purely serious, "Did he have a tiger tattoo..on his neck?" She pointed to her own neck.
Now it was your turn to make a face. You all looked shook as you slowly nodded your head.
"That's..literally Hanemiya-san." Yumi murmured. You lowkey felt a deep sense of womanly pride that the hottest guy in the whole school ended up helping you out last night and even did you the favor of walking you home safely.
A silence fell over all of you, until finally bursting out into loud, high pitched squeals of excitement.
"Ohmygodohmygodohmygodohmy-
"Girl, I'm literally so jealous, I can't even-
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
"The hottest guy in school freakin' saved you, I-aeaferhahuehuahuahuehuaheuahuheua"
"Wait guys!" Hayashi-chan cut in abruptly, her face going from excited to mortified. None of y'all heard her though, you just continued squealing and smacking each other stupidly. Then, it seemed Hanako-chan, and Miyazaki-chan both caught on to whatever she was getting so serious about.
"Guys! I'm telling you-
"HEHEHEHEHEHEHEHHEHEHE"
"I can't believe it's been the same person this whole time!"
"I know right! AAAAAAAAH-
"GUYS!" Hayashi-chan finally snapped, instantly getting us to quiet down. We all looked at her with expressions that read "Why are you killin' the vibe?". Suddenly, you noticed a shadow coming closer from behind you. Yumi, Asuka, and you all turned around at the same time.
"Hey there."
It was like you sat right in front of a fireplace your face was so hot. Kazutora had actually come to the cafeteria, come to you! Did he see y'all acting up like that the whole time? Hopefully he at least didn't hear anything. Did you look alright?!
"H-hi." You inwardly scolded yourself for stuttering, but he was so intimidating it made it hard not to act shy.
"Didn't think you'd see me this soon, huh?" He grinned, tilting his head to the side which made his earring jingle.
"Mm mm." You shook your head, feeling your heart race with nervous excitement. The girls were dead silent, all just watching intently at the scene unfolding directly in front of them. Speaking of a scene, it seemed nearly everyone in the whole cafeteria was watching.
"So, you doin' anything after school?"
The girls gasped out loud at his question. You could tell they were using every fiber of their being not to squeal.
"Uhh no. Just goin' home, why?" You asked cooly, doing your best to keep your own composure.
"Mind if I walk you home?" The way he said it came across more like he was telling you he's walking you home rather than asking. You shake your head, letting out a soft, "I don't mind". He gave you a charming smile that made your heart flutter.
"Cool, I'll see you later then."
You nodded, only able to let out a little "K" in response.
All of you watched Kazutora meet back up with his two other friends, then head back out of the cafeteria, hands in his pockets the whole time. "Wow, what a way to make a statement." Yumi smirked, nudging your arm suggestively.
"What do you mean? I didn't make a statement." You turn towards her with your brows furrowed.
"No, not you, Hanemiya-san! He literally asked what you were doing later, then actually tells you he wants to walk you home?! If that's not a statement, I don't know what is!"
"Yeah, not gonna lie, Yumi-chan's right." Miyazaki nodded.
"He's practically claimed you!" Hanako-chan added excitedly.
"What? Girl, he did not claim me." You chuckle lightly.
"Yes.he.did. Just you wait, once you're out of the denial phase you'll see it." She clapped back, fully serious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kazutora couldn't believe how utterly boring this day was. The most interesting part was finally being able to find you after catching that small glimpse of you peeking into the classroom, which he thought was so cute. He sat in history class, staring blankly into nothing as he thought about you. He noticed you'd done a different style with your hair, it was pretty elaborate in his opinion. Two buns with two small braids coming down from the crown area and into your face from the front, hanging way past your chin. The buns were big and puffy, looking like little clouds or something. It was a wonder how he wasn't able to find you first seeing as you so easily stand out.
Once school was finally over, he made his way to the entrance, waiting for you patiently. For some reason, Kazutora couldn't really get you out of his head last night or even today. You were cute that's for sure, but there was something else about you that made him want to be around you more.
"Oh, he's here guys. I'll see y'all later, K?"
The sound of your voice caught his attention. He looked up, eyes landing on you instantly. You were smiling wide, giving each friend a hug goodbye. He thought that was pretty adorable, it's not usual girls hug goodbye but you went and hugged each individual friend. Must be a culture thing. He thought to himself. He watched with a grin as you walked up to him, your once big bold smile turning shy instantaneously.
"Ready to go?" He smiled softly.
"Mhm."
The both of you walked side by side, catching multiple nosy eyes as you left the campus together. "So, how was classes?" You asked, trying to spark a conversation. For some reason it was hard for you to talk to him, the nervousness way too much for you to stay levelheaded.
"Boring, honestly, but I didn't mind science." He shrugged.
"Really?! You like science?" You said, eyes wide in surprise.
"I don't know about if I like science, but it got pretty interesting."
You nod, thinking about how your own science class went today. "I don't really like science much; it's alright. History is my favorite of the regular classes, I think, but music will always be my favorite subject."
"Music? What's so great about music class?" Kazutora scrunched his nose in confusion.
"Well everything. I have a keyboard at home that I practice on so...naturally it's my favorite." You shrug plainly.
"What, you wanna be a pianist or something?" He raised a brow.
"Yes, but I also sing. The teacher let's me do both, so I'm pretty cool with him. He also let's me play the piano sometimes after school or during lunch when I feel like it, so that's always nice. But music class also has lots..."
There you go again, rambling on and on about something you really like. Kazutora couldn't help the light tug at the corner of his lips, pulling into a grin as you continued. Even though he barely knew you for twenty four hours, he missed the way you'd ramble. It wasn't often or normal he'd hang around any girls anyways, so he wasn't complaining.
The whole walk consisted of the two of you getting to know each other, keeping conversations going with questions. At some point you had lightened up completely, letting go of that usual shy demeanor.
"Ok ok, would you rather...be a worm or a snail?"
"Ew", you giggled at his rather boyish question, "I don't know maybe a snail 'cause I'd have a little shell-house as opposed to being completely naked." You finished, giggling at the reasoning. "Ok, my turn. Would you rather...be hella short but gorgeous, or super tall but ugly?"
"Mmm. Well if I'm tall and ugly, but have a good personality, I could make it work. But nobody really sees a full personality from across the room. Ehh, I'll go with short but gorgeous."
"Come on short king!" You laughed.
"Would you rather...have huge feet or have huge hands?" He grinned mischievously.
"Eugh, both are trash options! I'll go with feet I guess...summer would be ass though, just trynna wear my flip flops in peace."
Kazutora laughed, making you laugh along with him naturally. "Ok wait, here's a question; not a would you rather one though. But what's your favorite season?" You inquire curiously.
Kazutora looked down at you, taking in the way you have such innocent looking eyes. "Probably this time of year, Autumn. It's way less intense than summer and winter, and spring just gets everybody sick."
"Right! Spring is cute, but honestly, it's treacherous with the allergies! My favorite is summer though, not gonna lie. I hate winter, it's way too cold for me." You visibly shudder, shaking your head.
"But winter let's you cuddle and stuff. I thought girls liked that kind of thing." He chuckled.
"I mean you can cuddle any time of year, but I see how winter probably makes you think of that the most. Think of it this way, I like the aesthetic or concept of winter, but not the weather. Give me the holidays, the cute seasonal drinks and all that, but leave that freezin' ass weather on the shelf." You laughed.
"I get that. Yeah, winter can get a little too cold for me too. I think fall is the perfect in between; and my outfits always look best this time of year anyways."
It seemed like a two minute walk as opposed to twenty as you both finally made it to your place. You frowned discreetly, a little disappointed that you're little hang out session with Kazutora would end just as it was getting good.
"Thanks for taking me home." You said softly, feeling the shyness starting to creep back up again. "You're welcome. I'll see you tomorrow, ok?" He said, his voice a bit softer now.
"K!" You smile, giving him a wave as you happily made your way into your apartment building.

If you were given the chance
ScaramoucexReader (no pronouns used)
Warnings: Angst with no comfort ( don’t we just love that), kind of bad, kind of rusty writting and emo.
To others, Scaramouche seemed like a hard person to talk to. In the halls he wore an unreadable expression so it was kind of impossible to really know what he was thinking about. But if you were able to push past that cold extroxier, you'd be able to experience his fun, talkative but also teasing side of him. If you were lucky enough he might’ve gone up to you a few things during school, just to tease you for something of course. If you were able to breach all these stages, it wouldn’t be a surprise if you had grown to like his friendly side and gain a little crush on him.
A little crush was an understatement to say the least, you were one of the “lucky” people to have overcome the semi-awkward convos and move over to hearing each other's voices rather than texting and the more you talk to him, the more you’re falling into a deep hole called love.
The way he carried himself over text was something but let's forget about his way of words, you were ashamed to admit but it did something to you. But you know you shouldn't, the things you’ve heard from people were, let's say, not the brightest flags a man could have. The fact you’ve gushed over him so much to your friends but they’ve told you he wasn’t a good guy and you should stop talking to him over and over but everytime, you never listened.
Maybe this is the reason that this happened to you, you’re sitting in your room balling your eyes out. Maybe if you had listened to all the warnings from your friends, maybe if you had never replied to his story of him falsely saying he was moving and never coming back to your home city, probably just wanting people to ask him if he was serious or not, this wouldn’t have happened. Just maybe you wouldn't be here but what's done is done.
You remember that day like it was just a few hours ago, you two had been following each other on instagram for quite awhile, since december and it was now end of march, just in time for spring break. You two had talked before that, just short and random conversations about a story he had replied to or it was you who started the conversation, doesn't matter.
You were randomly scrolling on instagram stories like you usually do and you had come across his, it said something like “finally leaving this stupid city” I mean it wasn't wrong but it was surprising so you thought, you haven't talked in awhile so what's the harm in talking to him again you know? so you did. The conversation went a lot like back and forth of him saying he is but truthly he was lying.
But that was the conversation that started everything.
All those late night calls, even listening to his whole 5 hour playlist he had made because you asked him about his music taste, it had played in the background while you studied for at least three days.. Every Time you had gotten a text from him your heart started to race as if it was about to sink down into your stomach from nervousness and excitement.
You enjoyed every single call you had with him even though your first time ever calling with him you said some pretty questionable things,
“Bro I’m actually so cold right now” “You’re what?” he asked “ I'm shivering right now for some reason” “bro what??” followed with a laugh.
his laugh.
He had this unique laugh that if you heard it in the background of a noisily video, you would be able to point it out. Everything about him was so different from others,
it ranged from his jellyfish-like hair style or even his hair colour or maybe it was the raspiness of his voice when he talked or how it changed the more he talked turning into something very soft and comforting, maybe that was another big reason you could not stop liking him. He was so different from the rest and that made him so attractive and so interesting at the same time.
You even stayed up late at night just for him to fall asleep over call then you would leave because you were afraid that you were going to say something weird in your sleep if you ever stayed on call.
You had spent nearly every day of your spring break and nearly a full month talking to him just to find out,
you weren’t special.
You had found out from him that he actually had a crush already. In that moment your heart dropped so far into your stomach , you weren’t at all aware of this. You were rethinking all those times you were calling with him and he would say these flirty things towards you or put his arm around your shoulder at random times in the hallways, as if he liked you or something. Apparently he didn’t.
At that moment it turned sour. You tried acting as if it didn’t bother you, why would it? It wasn't like you two were dating or anything. You had no right to feel upset about this. Even so, you felt regret and sadness overcome you. You felt like you were strung along just for his amusement.
After that night you had a lot to think about, how it even went wrong with him and how he didn’t even feel anything towards you. You went through a cycle of emotions and even went through some tears. But even so, even after feeling used for entertainment when his crush couldn’t talk at that moment or when she was busy or even after being used as a puppet he would just string along him, even after all these emotions he put you through, you think to yourself;
You don’t regret it.
If you had a chance to turn back in the past and change anything, you wouldn’t, truthfully you wouldn’t have it any other way, as bad as it sounds its the truth. You would even go as far as saying, if you could, you would relive it all over again.
These were times which really made you happy , maybe it wasn’t good for your sake and wellbeing but how were you supposed to know? Maybe you were just too delusional to even recognize the big bright red flag, maybe even too delusional to see the problem.
After you had woken up and realised he wasn’t worth your time anymore, you started slowly but surely gave him less attention then before, as if he even noticed it, but you still did it. But the moment you stopped reaching out and started the conversations, you notice you never got any back.
You stopped trying to look for him in the hallways, searching for that figure you knew too well. But it was so hard, when everytime you would give him one small glance he would show up in such an attractive outfit suiting him so well or hearing him laugh about something, which made it even harder then it was before to move on.
The more you stare and notice him you are reminded of all those times you two spent late at night talking to each other giggling to one another, sharing things about each other that the other party might have not known of, as if you weren’t the only person he did these things with. All you could see in him was those memories that were once real and were real happening in real time, but now,
it was as if there wasn’t anything between you two before, like you never existed and were never part of his life in the first place.
Even putting into account all the circumstances if there was ever a chance, if he ever gave you the chance; to go back and relive all these feelings and moments even if it ended the same, you would take it.
A/N: Hello everyone! HII omg i haven’t written/published anything in a hot minute (two years HELPEEL) anyways um i think this kind of turned out cring but also not yk?

Holy dhit I love your dark rottmnt au??? Idek why but ok lol.
What about donnie x gn reader? How would their relationship be like both at the start and once it's more established?
I would love it if the first and most important rule the reader made was to not raise his voice or hand against them (bc haha parental abuse and trauma). What if Donnie ended up finding out why that rule was put in the first place?
If it's too much then I'll gladly ask for something different. I hope you're staying hydrated! <3
AW HELL YEAH SOMETHING I'VE BEEN THRU LET'S GO Note: These are mostly my reactions as they're the ones I'm most familiar with, The Abuse is implied to be mostly Mental/Emotional abuse and neglect, the reader just overthinks about physical abuse even if they've never been through it personally or haven't had it happen a lot ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Having boundaries with ANY of the turtles in the Dark! AU is highly required for the relationship to be as Non-Toxic as possible
Now, they might not always follow them which is why you need to be strict and pushy about said boundaries
At first dating Donnie is chaotic, he tends to be the 'stalky' of the four, always around you or staring at you through video cameras
He also just barges into your house randomly and then starts bitching about his 'annoying ass brothers'
I can see Donnie being good about the raising hands or coming off as if he's about to strike you
Yelling? Not so much.
Sometimes he doesn't realize he's shouting until he sees you freezing up and shaking
He'll try to get closer to you so he can attempt to comfort you but if you flinch away, he feels something he almost never feels, guilt.
I think if you have a DCFS/CPS history he would find out SOMEHOW
All hell breaks loose if that's the case
would probably spend literal hours stalking your abusers online, and also send some death threats, Non-negotiable.
If your parents or siblings (If said siblings are also abusive) turn up missing or dead, it's 100% his fault, no matter how much he tries to deny it.
Absolutely loses. his. shit if his brothers accidentally trigger your trauma response
It becomes him shoving you into his lab, shutting the door and absolutely fighting his brothers
Doesn't matter if all of them try to fight him, he's pissed, and one does not mess with Dark AU! Donnie and gets away unscathed.
You'll probably have to patch him up.
This is probably where yelling would happen after finding out it's a trigger
ESPECIALLY if you try to defend his brothers, he knows you're just trying to be nice to them
If he starts yelling and you freeze up, he sighs, his robotic arms cradle you as he works on new tech, rubbing soothing patterns into your back.
you stay like that for hours, being in his lap, and ending up falling asleep.
He will bitch at his brothers after this again
It takes a few weeks after this event, but he pretty much stops yelling when talking to you altogether.
He doesn't show it that much, but he cares, and WILL defend you, as it's the only way he feels like he can show how much he cares

The Epilogue.
(one last DISCLAIMER: this is askblog for TBG Davey, not the actual Davey Wreden.)
I assume you have many questions - and after my response, you'll come up with even more. But I never planned to answer any of them.
I'm only telling a story.
Once TSPUD got announced, people have asked me if I'd remaster The Beginner's Guide. That question kept showing up, and I kept saying - 'Whats the point? The story is already finished.'
And then, I was asked again. And then, again.
And then - again.
At some point, I stopped responding. It was not due to being tired of repeating myself, but because I wasn't sure if the answer was still true. I felt there was nothing more to add, and enhancing the graphics would only take away from the experience. And yet, I knew there was so much more to the story.
I looked at all the game reviews, emails, and messages I could, realizing that this was it.
Feedback or The Cookie9 Phenomenon, if you want to call it that.
In a way, I suppose, I've always been my audience's Coda. The only thing that was different was no direct contact. After the enormous, very overwhelming response from the original TSP, I've been sparingly responding to any private feedback I've been receiving.
But the emails kept not changing. I do find the mails where I'm getting 'destroyed' or 'owned' very funny but that wasn't the case from the start.
So, I've wondered - how would these people react if they could see an effect of their own words? That it's not just something they spout into the ether but there's an actual person on the other side?
I wondered how could I bring this up without making a Skip Button Ultra Deluxe Edition. While games are interactive, you still have a barrier between you and the creator of the games.
Inspiration came randomly, during one panel I was listening to. Typically, a person would have a big speech followed by questions but that one particular instance was like 70% QnA. And at the end - I felt great! Maybe I couldn't give my own feedback in the sea of hands but there was something so charming about this being such a collaborative work. At the start, the performer said "you shape how the show will go" and even if it was obvious in that circumstance, to this day I remember it.
So, I've decided to make this askblog. But as I stated in it, in hidden clues - I'm fine at the moment! I'm happy where I stand as a creator and I had moved on from the past. That, however, wasn't always the case.
I'm lucky that I was mad enough to have many diaries throughout my life. I've written down so many of my reactions, thought processes and feelings, reading through My Files wasn't that much of an issue. And since I've already played as my past self once - I could do it again.
I will leave this askblog open but I won't respond to every message left for it as I've used to. I'll spare your time and write down some of the questions that you'll probably not get answers to:
"Was Coda ever real?", "Where the Twitter screenshot real and if so, what were Coda's thoughts and reaction to all of this?" "Were Coda's answer actually his?" or any other Coda-related questions like that,
"What are you working on now?", "Are you really fine?",
"What exactly inspired you in your life to do this now?", "Had a similar situation happened before?", "How did you deal with other Fake Codas?", "Will you one day answer our questions again?"
or anything TSP/TSPUD related,
because you're not entitled to someone's work or life.
And I won't light up your lampposts anymore.
Davey, out!
===
(Hi, it's me, @shinakazami1, the creator of this story. I'd like to thank everybody who spent their time to support this. I adore interacting with my own audience so this way of storytelling felt great thanks to you! My plan was to have something in the spirit of the original The Beginner's Guide in a form of an ask blog - small questions connected with themselves, telling a bigger yet short story that had already 'happened'. As Davey had said - you shape the way this could have gone. While the ending was predetermined from the start, Act 2 aka 'Coda's Askblog' was entirely up to you! For every post that you've asked Coda about something, I've already prepared a draft for the other blog. There were different versions of Coda and Davey planned. You've chosen Anxious Yet Assertive Davey and Angry but Weirdly Supportive Coda. I might talk about these more either in an edit of this post or on my Tumblr Blog, as I'd like to show a bit of a cut content :] While askblog Davey said he might not answer the questions mentioned - I might, so feel free to come and say your thoughts on this, your feedback, anything! I've myself been once again feeling stuck with creating, especially with drawing. But this project made me feel great, and it's all thanks to you. So thank you, Player. May we see each other another time. Toodle-pip!)
