so. we win some we lose some
#uhh she came and saw the show my school was putting on :)#it’s matilda :) the best job we’ve ever done too#anyways the day after i texted her asking how she liked it#and she liked it a lot! we started talking abt backstage stuff#(she noticed i was prop head from the program and brought it up and it made me <3!!!!)#and it was great!#until i mentioned an inside joke we’ve started backstage#of ‘austin powers in matilda’ where we just say lines in an austin powers british accent and add ‘baby’ to the end#and she was like ‘sounds fun ^^’#and i SHOULD HAVE gotten the hint of ‘i’m not trying to insult you for having fun but idk what to say’#but instead i was like ‘nah i’m overthinking’ and KEPT TALKING ABOUT IT#and uh. she hasn’t responded since . yippee !#it’s fine. it’s fine ! it happens. i’m NOT gonna read too far into it. while this friendship may not be built on much it isn’t so fragile#that one awkward moment ruins the whole thing. It Is Fine#i simply got overexcited. and explaining a strange inside joke referencing late 90s/early 00s spoof movies can be a little tough#especially over text where you can’t do the silly voice#it’s Fine. it’s totally fine#besides. she saw my name in the program! and used it to further the conversation!#that’s a sign of at least friendly interest. she wouldn’t let one weird thing make her dislike a person#i just got a little too comfortable bc ‘oh i’m queer she’s queer i’m nd she hangs out with nd kids we’re all good’#and forgot we were still probably at the Friendly Acquaintances level#it’ll be no big deal. yeah#anyways. gonna go to bed :)

A Little White Chapel Wedding (LS18)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Part 3 of the Blind Item Series) Summary: Lance and his now wife had their reasons for eloping, he just hopes his dad will understand.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Lance and his girlfriend, now wife, had always wanted to keep their relationship out of the spotlight. Given how much hate and controversy surrounded Lance due to his father’s ownership of the team, he had already taken a major step back from social media. He knew that dating another heir apparent would piss many fans off, even if it was solely for love that they were together. Both of their families knew and greatly approved of the relationship but once Lance had proposed it seemed their families wanted to take over fully. Wedding preparations had been started without any input from the groom and bride-to-be. Seeing all these decisions made without the two’s consent had put a ton of stress on them. This was supposed to be the happiest day of their lives and they had absolutely no say in the matter. Guest lists full of investors and other business partners took away from the intimacy of the event. No detail was left unscrutinized and it was going to be far too extravagant, as this was going to be the first time they announced their relationship and the families joining together.
When Lance and his fiancee had gotten to Vegas, they had no plans of getting married that weekend. The thought only crossed Lance’s mind after the race.
“P5 Lance! Oh honey I couldn’t be more proud.” She said as she ran up and hugged him. She had been waiting what felt like forever to congratulate him, as he had been so surrounded the minute the race ended. 
Pulling away from the hug, Lance put his hands on her cheeks as he said “let's get married”
“We are, Lance.” She responded, perplexed. 
“Tonight. Let's elope and have an actual wedding about the two of us. No one else.”
“Honey, our families would kill us if we did that.” While the idea sounded wonderfully romantic and gave her butterflies just thinking about it, it just couldn’t work with the way things were.
“Who cares? We don’t have to tell them right away. We get married now, take an extra long honeymoon over break and then tell them once the season starts.”
“I don’t know Lance.”
“Please? It is unfair we don’t get to have the wedding we want. Who gives a shit about the guestlist with a million business partners we’ve never met. If they still need a wedding then we will do it their way but let's have our way first.” 
She took a minute to respond, thinking the idea over before she finally gave her answer. “Okay, Lance. Let's get married.”
Lance had never envisioned his wedding going the way it did, but he also never saw it the way his family planned it to be.
Although as happy as he was, he felt so guilty when he thought of how his family would feel knowing that he got married without them there to see it. As important as business was to Lawrence Stroll, he knew his dad valued and loved his family above all else. 
Over break, the newlyweds had gone on a bit of a delayed honeymoon, posed as just a really nice vacation.
They only got the honeymoon suit because they really wanted to go all out. No other reason…
They thought they had made it out unscathed, planning on telling their family in a week when they had gotten back from their vacation. Too bad they didn’t get to.
Lance’s wife saw the post first. He barely checked socials anymore. When the photos of them confirmed that the Blind Items post was about them, she felt a chill run through her body. Their families had to have known already, public image was important to both of them so they definitely had PR teams constantly checking what was going on. And she was correct.
“Honey, I just got a call from my Dad. He sounded pretty upset, and said we had to come home quickly and meet with him.” Lance said, confused and worried. His dad rarely sounded as serious as he did on the phone. 
Wordlesy, she passed her phone to Lance with the tweet pulled up. She could see the color drain from his face as he read through replies. Fuck this wasn’t good.
What was probably the most stressful plane ride of Lance’s life was also painstakingly long. He couldn’t swallow the guilt building in his throat at how upset his father must be.
The once welcoming and happy house was now cold and silent as the couple walked inside. His father didn’t greet them, just told the two of them to follow him into his office. Lance just held his wife’s hand and squeezed it reassuringly as they made their way up there. 
Lawrence still remained silent as he sat in his chair, looking at his married son and new daughter-in-law for the first time.
Lance was the one to break the silence.
“Dad, I know this is a lot but please-” He was cut off by the simple raise of his father’s hand to silence him.
“Why, Lance? We spend all this time planning the two of you a beautiful wedding just for you both to throw it away? For what?”
“Dad, you dont under-”
“No, Lance, I don’t. I mean how could you be so stupid?”
“Please if you just listen, Dad-”
“I have never been more disrespected by yo-”
 “Stop!” Lance’s wife spoke up. She finally had to butt in. “You tell Lance you don’t understand and when he tries to explain you cut him off! How are we supposed to have a conversation when you won’t let anyone else speak?”
Silence spread across the room as no one dared to respond. She could practically feel the smoke coming out of her ears.
“Dad. We eloped because we wanted something that was for us. The wedding you were planning wasn’t ours. We didn’t have a say in anything. From guest list to menu, you all controlled that. We wanted to get married on our own terms. While I will forever be sorry you weren’t with us, I am not sorry for getting married the way I did, to the girl I love.” Lance grabbed your hand once again to squeeze, to remind him why he did what he did. 
His father didn’t say anything for a few moments. The newlyweds waited patiently, praying Lawrence wouldn’t fly off the handle again. 
Finally he said, “Then I owe you both an apology. I understand that you both had expectations for your wedding and not having any say in the matter didn’t feel good. I wish you both said something. At the end of the day though, this is still a big deal for our families business-wise. You are my only son though, Lance, I wish I could have seen you get married.”
“We can still have the wedding, Mr.Stoll. Our plan was just to have something for ourselves, then have the main event be for everyone else.”
Lawrence smiled at that. Happy he would still get to see his son get married, even if it is the second time.
This time luckily, the couple got a bit more of a say in wedding preparations. With no comment from either family, the Vegas elopement was quickly forgotten once more pressing gossip reached the public. 
While it still wasn’t what Lance and his wife had envisioned, having their families there this time was all they could ask for.

Hi uhm sorry for being disgusting but can you do big boy Dogday reacting to his (submissive) angel saying "I love you" and just ranting about how she can't live without him during their first time and getting a bit emotional toward the end? Thank you... :3c
A/N: Yayyy!! my first request that’s not from a friend ! you aren’t disgusting? I actually think this is so sweet.
“First times.”
Relationship(s): Dogday x bat!reader
Warnings: smutt, virgin, emotional at the end.
Dogday and you were friends. close friends some would say. very close friends. so close that you’d often find yourself clinging to his side or him putting his hand in the small of your back, whispering sweet nothings to you as you both watched the kids play.
Dogday loved you. you loved Dogday. but neither of you would ever ever say it aloud. so imagine how you both felt when the higher ups, put you two together as a couple in their show? both of your faces were tomatoes. You even asking how that idea occurred ? one of the many producers stating simply, “you guys were made for one another. we’ve been planned this, that’s why you were made, silly?” ouch. that kinda hurt to hear but still, you could watch yourself be with the love of your life even if it was a cartoon.
Dogday had asked you to meet him at his home which he called, “bone”. you always laughed when you remembered the name is his house. your house wasn’t that far from his so you walked. you finally came in sight of the door and took a breath, knocking. Dogday quickly opened the door, he looked abit scruffy and he was panting abit. you were abit taken back but you still stepped inside. he led you through the dark house, holding your hand. you finally made it to the kitchen and he smiled as you looked over everything he had done. he had made a candle lit dinner with one big bowl of spaghetti for you, both.
“I know it’s cheesy but—“ before he could even finish, you had started thanking him and took him a hug. he smiles softly, his gaze soft as he watched you. he wrapped his arms around you and squeezed. reassuringly. you both sat at the table and had begun to eat. you both were almost finished before you both slurped up the same noodle. you blushed at realizing. he had realized to and continued to slurp. you had gotten nervous and bit the pasta, breaking it. god, you had just ruined a chance of a kiss.
Dogday had stood up after you bit the noodle. he placed a paw on your cheek and softly rubbed. you both stared into one another’s eyes and he kissed you. soft and sweet. no lust , no anger, just pure love.
You were on your back as dogday slowly pushed his cock into you. you gripped the sheets as little tears pricked the corner of your eyes. he quickly took notice and stopped pushing his thick cock into you. he knew he was a big boy and he could tell you were a virgin so he waited, patiently. he tried to distract you, kissing and sucking down your body, his hands fondling your breasts.
After a few moments, you were ready again and Dogday made sure you were alright before he thrusted what was left inside. you choked out a sob and he silenced you with another kiss, pushing his thick hot tongue against yours. he gently began to fuck you, taking in each curve and the way your pussy tightened when he’d do a certain thing.
“fuck, baby, I love y—you so much, you’re — fuck, everything to me~!” you moaned out as dogdays balls hit the back of your plush ass. “c—couldn’t live without you, baby..~!”
Dogday had made you cum atleast 3 times before he stopped. he had tears in his eyes as he looked down at you. you quickly attempted to wipe his tears. “I—I’m sorry, Angel. I know I shouldn’t be crying right now.”
“No, no, it’s okay. what’s wrong? did I do something?” Dogday shook his head and held you close to his body as his knot swelled inside you. “hearing you say all those things.. just made me the happiest dog on earth.”
“oh Dogday ❤️” you laughed as you held him to.
A/N: not alotta smut I know , I’m sorry , I was at school when I wrote this. if you want a part two with more smut let me know, kay, pretty/handsome?

Okay y’all… I was very critical of eps 3 & 4 (especially 4) of NAtLA. Then all of a sudden eps 5 & 6 kinda slapped me in the face with how much better the show suddenly got.
Spoiler-free thoughts first:
Zuko, Iroh, and Aang have cemented themselves as the best parts about this adaptation - which is really funny considering I’m currently writing a longfic AU where Zuko and Iroh discover Aang in the iceberg right after Zuko is banished at age 13 and end up becoming the first members of the Gaang (albeit reluctantly at first lol). Episode 6: “Masks” (the Blue Spirit adaptation) was so good, I’d venture to say that it actually improved and fleshed out some things from the original series.
Episode 5: “Spirited Away”, while not as good as E6, was not as bad as I heard people say it was going to be. I think that the changes they did make didn’t bother me nearly as much as the changes they made in the last episode, and it was actually entertaining.
There were several scenes that made me cry in both of these episodes (moreso in episode 6, which I’ll get into further down in the spoiler section). These are the scenes that I feel like really tapped into the heart of the original show rather than feeling like a soulless remake.
Now for my in-depth thoughts (INCLUDES SPOILERS):
EP 5: “Spirited Away”
- Staring out, I was bummed because I had just rewatched the first two eps of the original animated series lol.
- It was an interesting choice to have all three members of the Gaang get stuck in the Spirit World, but I think it worked.
- Wan Shi Tong just showing up randomly was a bit unnecessary, but I suppose it will be kinda interesting to see him again in S2 since he’s already met the Gaang
- Hei Bai plays a much smaller role in these eps, but I strangely didn’t mind that either?
- Seeing Katara’s last memory with her mom was devastating, especially the fact that she had to witness her death and hide in the igloo with Kya’s charred body :(( she definitely has severe PTSD.
- Even Sokka’s memory made me tear up a bit
- Koh being the villain and a soul-eater or whatever was a bit of an odd choice, but I guess I can see why they did it. I do prefer him just being an asshole who steals ppl’s faces lol
- Appreciated the Fog of Lost Souls reference from the LoK lore
- Aang reuniting with Gyatso made me cry. I know some people didn’t like him being in the Spirit World, but I really liked it. Also, the fact that Gyatso was the first person to tell Aang that it wasn’t his fault the Air Nomads died, and that if he had been there he would have died too? THANK YOU! My poor boy has been berated enough for “abandoning” the world.
- We got some interesting lore about the afterlife for humans from Gyatso and Aang’s convo, which we’ve never gotten in AtLA media before. Idk if it’s just for Air Nomads, but Aang mentions that Gyatso stayed behind instead of “seeking enlightenment”. I know that the end goal in Buddhism is to reincarnate until you eventually achieve nirvana, so I wonder if that’s what they were alluding to (I’m not an expert on religions so pls correct me if I’m wrong)
- Oh yeah, I forgot June is here lmao. As a queer person I loved her (bc beautiful goth woman) but I didn’t like the weird choice to make her hit on Iroh - I guess to contrast the Iroh being creepy towards her thing in the OG series. I wish they would have just had them interact normally tbh, no weird “flirting”
EP 6: “Masks”
- Here we go y’all. The best episode in the show so far and probably the best the show is gonna get this season. I’m still pretty shocked at how good this one was.
- I think the decision to include flashbacks to Zuko’s Agni Kai was a good decision here. It felt like an appropriate episode for them and the flashbacks were very well done.
- In general, Dallas is doing a phenomenal job at portraying a Zuko who is angry and aggressive, yes, but also so very sweet and compassionate at his core. I love when little inklings of his true self shine through.
- Roku was… not what I expected. He was very much more of a lighthearted and jokey person… I didn’t hate it, it was just unexpected lol. I wonder if they did that to contrast him with Kyoshi. Which, speaking of, I’m glad Roku clarified that Aang doesn’t just need to be a merciless warrior (and that he didn’t berate Aang for “abandoning” the world like she did). But I still am annoyed about the mischaracterization of Kyoshi in general.
- RIP Shyu :/
- Thought it was kind of strange how June captures Aang at Roku’s temple lol. Like how did she get on and off the island??
- Zhao continues to feel like a completely different character to me lmao. I think this version is pretty funny, but it’s so weird to see Zhao being portrayed as so goofy and incompetent when he was such an intimidating force and the main villain of Book 1 in the OG series. Just a weird direction they went with his character.
- The Yuyan archers look cool as fuck. 10/10 no notes
- Still not sure how I feel about Azula already being this insecure and jealous of Zuko. I think it makes her feel a bit more realistically like a child, but the whole point of Azula’s character is that she is really good at maintaining this cool and calm persona on the surface, which she uses to scare and manipulate people. I can see her maybe getting to a point later on to where she hardens herself into that though. We’ll see.
- Baby Zuko asking Iroh how he looks and his little smile 😭😭😭😭 I had a physical “aww” reaction to that. THAT’S MY SON (me and Iroh shouting in unison)
- War Room scene was handled very well. No complaints. I like how Ozai tried to test Zuko with battle strategies.
- Blue Spirit break out scene was extremely close to the original, and it was really good. They adapted it almost shot for shot with all the important parts.
- Here’s probably my favorite part of the episode: Zuko and Aang’s talk inside the abandoned house after they escape from Pohuai!!!!!! Gahhhh I could gush about this scene all day. I love how they expanded it to be an actual friendly conversation between Aang and Zuko. Like we get to see Zuko’s true self coming through - the sweet, kind boy we know he is. Zuko and Aang just have such great chemistry as well, wayyy more than Aang has with either Sokka or Katara. Like I adored them bonding over painting and caligraphy!!! I think this is the best acting we’ve seen from Gordon so far, and Dallas did a phenomenal job switching back to that hurt, angry version of himself (of course a trauma response). And the fact that Aang said “sorry, I didn’t mean to hurt you” when he blocked Zuko’s firebending attack??? My sweet boy 😭
- The final flashback to the Agni Kai was really well done too. I’d already heard Zuko fights back, which I wasn’t sure I’d like, but I actually didn’t mind it. I really liked that they showed Zuko’s hesitation whenever he did actually have an opening, and that was what angered Ozai the most - Zuko showing compassion, “weakness”. Daniel Dae Kim is of course doing a phenomenal job (no surprises there), and I really liked that Iroh actually attempted to stop Ozai at one point. It also looked like young Azula had tears in her eyes, which I again actually liked because it humanizes her.
- I loved that Aang was still there when Zuko woke up on the boat 😭 he wanted to make sure he was okay!! I full on started crying when we got the “do you think we could have been friends too?” lines from him. Again, Gordon killed it. I love how you can tell that Aang knows Zuko has been hurt and that’s why he acts the way he does. He doesn’t blame him for any of it. 10/10
- the last flashback to Zuko in his bed recovering from the burn… god the tears just kept flowing. I really liked the choice to have Ozai almost give Zuko a chance to like… idk understand why he did what he did, and how compassion is “weak”?? And then Zuko’s response to give people a chance 😭😭😭 as if I couldn’t love him any more!!! And then of course Ozai gets pissed. But seeing baby Zuko just cry in his bed UGH I’m dehydrated at this point
- Of course I can’t finish this review without mentioning the 41st division. What an incredible way to expand upon the source material by making them Zuko’s crew!!! It shows just how much Zuko truly cares about others and it moved me so much (once again to tears).
I don’t have high hopes for the last two episodes, but honestly, if this is what the live action can be, it gives me a bit of hope (at least for future seasons). I really think that Dallas, Gordon, Paul, and Daniel were the stars of this ep and are a big part of what made it so good.

yall.
yall.
Y A L L
*deep breaths*
*stares intently*
so. y’all know simon greenall is the speaking voice of barnacles. i’m sure some of you know that he’s had a different singing voice since the beginning. up through season 4, barnacles’ singing vocals are done by ross breen, and then (above and) beyond that, we don’t talk about it. but anyways, ross breen is not only an incredible singer, but he sounds so much like greenall that the majority of people don’t know the difference until they look it up, myself included.
so as you may have gathered, i like to do a deep dive on the actors and voice actors behind my comfort characters. do you know how much i had to dig to find that clip of greenall jumping off the pier? it was in his showreel compiled by his agent, ruth young. that’s how deep i dig. i also found a sex scene, but that’s irrelevant.
SO last night, i was bored, and since i wasn’t satisfied by the amount of comfort content i collected from my simon greenall dig, i said fuck it and looked into ross breen.
besties baby boos. girly pops. homies. queerly beloved.
i found a goldmine.
may i present to you, captain barnacles’ spotify:
AND IT ACTUALLY SLAPS??? LIKE, I’D LISTEN TO THIS SHIT REGARDLESS OF WHO WROTE AND SANG IT. ITS FUCKING GORGEOUS, AND IT ONLY HAS 48 MONTHLY LISTENERS. SO YALL BEST GET ON THAT.
and if there was any doubt that this was barnacles, i’d say this proves it FHJFDHH:
LIKE. GRRRRRRRRRRRR /VPOS.
‼️‼️BUT WAIT, IT GETS BETTER‼️‼️
BECAUSE in 2020ish, bestie boo bear rebranded. that’s right. this man has TWO SPOTIFIES!!!!
may i present to you…
✨Jazzy Comfort Barnacles✨
no i am not okay.
it only has 3 songs on the second spotify, but those three songs man. i will be posting about them separately bc holy fucking shit, it’s all comfort.
i fell asleep last night with “Flowing to you, Flowing Through” on loop and woke up feeling. so safe. i’m. it gives somewhere over the rainbow vibes yk? it’s bjarki’s song. and it just hits so fucking close to home lyrically for personal reasons and. ugh. later. this post is long enough as it is.
OH. AND IT HAS <1000 LISTENS. GIVE THIS MAN SOME LOVE GUYS. WE NEED TO FIX THAT.
his first spotify, ross breen, has several full-length albums. so far, we’ve only listened to one, “when i met the devil,” which came out in 2011 and is ALL BANGERS. we’ve only gotten through the one album bc we’ve been looping it all day. it has 15 songs, but quite a few instrumental transition tracks, so it comes to a little under 40 mins. my favorite songs are “when i met the devil,” “elephant’s foot” (which i will also expand upon in its own post), “life support,” “thin sheep,” and “jigsaw.” my favorite more chill songs are “monet,” and “keep the light on,” which made me cry like a baby during class.
from ross a., my favs are “flowing to you, flowing through” obviously, and “be ok”, which also made me sob hysterically and will be getting its own post too.
in conclusion:

BREAKING NEWS
This just in! This Black Friday is a rather eventful day for some people. We’ve gotten multiple reports of men’s stomachs swelling instantaneously. This seems to be exclusive to the United States, but little is known at this time.
Tumblr media
New information has come in about these ‘blow ups’. All over the US, men are growing bellies 24 hours after they celebrated Thanksgiving. Still unknown of the cause of these, scientists are tracking the source to a meat processing plant.
Tumblr media
The blow ups have been traced to a meat processing plant in Texas. They used a steroid in order to make the turkeys they sold fatter. This laid steroid remained in the turkey’s system and reactivate upon the digestion of the steroid.
Tumblr media
With this information, scientists determined that the amount of turkey that was eaten determines how much they will grow. Take this man for example who just yesterday had an athletic build to with abs. Now he looks like he swallowed a yoga ball that’s getting pumped bigger.
Tumblr media
Even celebrities are not immune to this. Former Avengers cast member Chris Evans has gained a substantial amount of weight today and has been sharing his weight gain on Instagram saying “Now that I’m not Captain America, there’s no need to have those abs. Let the belly grow.”
Tumblr media
Many men share Chris’s sentiment. Some have even made it a challenge of how big they can blow up. This man took the challenge too far and is now immobile due to his giant belly. Unable to fit through doors and see anything that isn’t blocked by his massive gut.
Tumblr media
For now that is all the information we have. Scientists are working on a cure, but it is unknown how soon that will happen so I apologize to say, you might be stuck with this for a good amount of time. This is Musclesaber signing of- Oh no. Not me too.
Tumblr media
*swell gurgle stretch rip snap*
Check out all these great fat guys:

Images 2 & 3 are from feedisvin also on tumblr
Image 4 is a gif of BroGrowing on twitter

Designer baby
Content - age regression, cg!tony, cg!pepper, designer labels, wealth (obviously), dummy use, fruit, bottles, cuddles, tooth rotting fluff, don’t like don’t read.
Summary - some days your mommy and daddy can’t help but spoil you.
Authors note - I don’t even remember how I started writing this I just felt the need to be spoiled with the nonexistent money I don’t have so I wrote about people that would, reblogs are greatly appreciated I worked quite hard on this one, I hope you enjoy<3
Tumblr media
Tony stark and pepper Potts were not short on money.
Very far from it.
You knew that they would go to spectacular lengths to make sure you were well taken care of but you never thought that they would go this far.
As soon as you stepped foot out of your bedroom this morning you were greeted with the sight of glowing fairy lights, new toys, some new clothing and tony and pepper laying out a selection of personalised clothing.
What on earth were they up to?
“Good morning baby” you heard pepper say brightly walking over to you and taking you hand in here leading you over towards tony.
“Morning mommy” you yawned skipping over to tony keeping hold of peppers hand “hey skippy” tony chuckled lifting you off the ground and placing you on his hip.
“Morning daddy, what’s this?” You giggled kicking your legs to signal towards the empty boxes and packages strewn across the floor “well angel we thought we could have a spoiling princess day today, how does that sound”
He didn’t even have to ask, you loved days like these and it was very clear to them by the excited squeal that you let out.
“I think that answers our question tony” pepper chuckled picking up some of the discarded boxes and putting them to the side.
───── ⋆⋅◇⋅⋆ ─────
A few hours later you had played with each of your new toys more than once, and named all of of your new soft toys, your favourite was a small black kitten that you had decided to name shadow.
There were only 3 problems, the first one was you were so caught up in playing that you had forgotten to have any fluids or anything to eat, the second one was that you hadn’t gotten changed out of your pajama’s yet and the third was you felt in desperate need of your dummy.
This was the only problem about days like these, the two of them had done so much for you and you didn’t want to bother them with anymore.
You didn’t have long to stew in your thoughts because a few seconds later your tummy let out a light growl.
“Oh no, tony it looks like we’ve forgotten to feed our little baby!” She gasped getting up from her space on the floor “it looks like we did, I think we also forgot something else” he chuckled gently poking your pajama trousers with the telly remote.
“How about I go and get the little rascal something to eat while you get her dressed” pepper chuckled placing a kiss on your forehead before making her way to the kitchen.
───── ⋆⋅◇⋅⋆ ─────
A few minutes later tony had dressed you in your favourite Burberry jumper and a pair of black leggings and fuzzy brown socks.
Making your way back into the kitchen on Tony’s hip you saw pepper place down a bowl of your favourite fruits. After tony helped you into the wooden chair he picked up a tea towel and placed it into your jumper as an extra precaution in case you spilt anything.
After he helped spoon the fruit into your mouth he went over to the sofa where another package was awaiting.
“Do you wanna open this one princess?” He asked signalling for pepper to come over “yes please” you smiled reaching for the package that had been loosened by tony so you wouldn’t need to use that much effort.
Pulling out the package you saw a white box with a new baby bottle inside, an Armani baby bottle.
This one was clearly peppers work they intricate design up the top of the bottle would have caught her eye.
“Thank you!” You squealed reaching up to give a cuddle to your mommy and daddy listening to them chuckle proudly at your manners “it’s okay angel we’re glad you like it.”
───── ⋆⋅◇⋅⋆ ─────
While tony washed and heated up your bottle pepper brought you to lie against her chest on the sofa while she gently eased the dummy into your mouth while you waited for your bottle.
“Thank you mama” you whispered behind the shield nuzzling into her blonde locks “it’s okay my love” she whispered back placing a kiss on your earlobe.
“The wait is over your royal highness” tony said in a very poorly executed posh accent presenting you with the bottle before passing it to pepper making you shriek with laughter.
Once she replaced your dummy with the bottle you immediately began drinking down the milk, after a few minutes you felt the effects of the milk catch up with you and you felt yourself grow tired.
“It’s okay little have a little nap if you need it you’ve had a big day” tony smiled looking at you with loving eyes.
Once you finally succumbed to sleep tony and pepper were left in silence looking down at you “god she’s adorable” pepper laughed watching your nose wiggle in your sleep.
“She sure is, our little designer baby.”

“hey, wake up”
gojo satoru rolled over, extremely annoyed at the sight in front of him. megumi fushiguro in his uniform and backpack and kicking the side of his mattress.
“what do you want? it’s my day off, I get to sleep in.”
“just wanted to remind you about the parent-teacher meeting. you and y/n need to be there at 12.”
right. the meeting that megumi’s homeroom teacher had called you about while you and gojo were out on your 7th anniversary dinner date.
“all because you had to beat up some poor kid.”
megumi looks down at his guardian’s sleepy figure, “thought you said I did a good job.”
“yeah, till I realized you getting in a fight is more of a punishment for me than you. now I can’t sleep in.”
“sleeping too much isn’t good for you.”
“just go to school.”
gojo plops back down in his bed and counts the minutes and the seconds. 3, 2, 1. right on cue, his door swings open as you march in. despite the fact that his eyes were trained on the ceiling, he just knows you were standing by the door, a hand on your hip, waiting for him to get up.
“satoru, are you up?”
“no.”
“we got megumi’s meeting in like two hours.”
“I know.” he sits up and pulls you in by the waist as soon as you were within arms reach. “I know because megumi-chan woke me up to remind me just before you came.”
he squeezes you tighter as you laugh and play with his hair, “well I do love that he takes after me and is a responsible young man. I raised him well.”
gojo smiles. ever since introducing you to the fushiguro siblings eight years ago, you’ve practically treated them like your own, making up for all the qualities Gojo lacks when it comes to disciplining and raising children up in the right way. the fact that megumi isnt sleeping in some juvenile center was probably because of you.
“satoru, we have to go over some things about the meeting. this is the third time megumi’s gotten in a fight this month and the third time we’re being called in to discuss his behavior,” you pull back to glare at him, trying to unlatch yourself from his grip, “— and you were super unhelpful the last two meetings.”
you wince at the memories of gojo laughing and trying to high-five megumi when told he knocked out two kids front teeth. good thing the black haired boy had the decency to keep his hands by his side and ignore his mentor’s invitation.
gojo chuckles, “what! I’m glad he knows how to throw a punch. meant I taught him well.”
“satoru…do you want megumi to be expelled?”
“I mean he could always come to jujutsu high.”
“gojo satoru.”
“ ‘m just kidding! you do not need to worry about me. I’ll be on my best behavior. in fact, I’ll shut up and leave all the talking to you.”
“you? the world’s strongest, gojo satoru, willing to shut up for a 30 minute meeting?”
he pouts, “It’s almost insulting you don’t believe me, but I promise you. you do all the talking and I’ll just look pretty and sit on the side.”
“okay fine, come on, let’s get breakfast before we head out.”
gojo smiles and follows you out the door. not talking for thirty minutes? piece of cake.
-
as promised, the white haired man sits down next to you and lets you take the lead as megumi’s homeroom teacher began to talk.
“mr and mrs. gojo, thank you for taking the time to come in today.”
gojo smiles to himself. how’d megumi’s homeroom teacher know that you’d be a “mrs. gojo soon?” he thinks of the little red box hidden in the upper corner of his closet.
“as you both know, megumi is a bright kid. but his tendency to resort to violence in concerning. I understand things might be tough for him at this age, but violence is not the way.”
“oh no, I wholeheartedly agree! we’ve raised megumi better than this and we apologize for the trouble he’s caused.”
you glance at your boyfriend, who nods, a solemn look on his face. so far so good. twenty minutes in and he’s not so much as uttered anything more than a “hi”.
“last time you told me megumi will be disciplined at home, but I wonder it’s effectiveness as his behaviors have only escalated. so I’d like to bring in megumi for this meeting as well and hear his thoughts to get a better understanding of his actions.”
megumi trudges through the door, keeping his eyes trained on the floor.
“megumi, why don’t you tell us why you’ve been acting this way?”
silence filled the room.
“megumi?” you parrot the teacher’s question, “honey, please talk to us. if you don’t say anything, how will we understand?”
the longer megumi stayed silent, the more gojo wanted to break the tension.
you give gojo a subtle glare once you notice his squirming. if you don’t wrap up this meeting soon, you know he’s going to end up saying something that will only make the situation worse.
“mrs. sato, I don’t think it’s right to force megumi. please give him one more chance. I’ll be sure to tal-“
“MEGUMI FUSHIGUROLL! IF YOU DONT ANSWER THIS SECOND IMMA GROUND YOU!”
gojo’s sudden intrusion scared everyone. and anyone could see him trying to hide his smile. Gojo satoru has always had the flair for the dramatic. but this was the worse time for drama.
you put on a polite smile, trying to find anyway to excuse his behavior, “sorry about the interruption mrs. sato, mr.gojo just gets a little too enthusiastic to teach Megumi some proper manne-“
this time you were cut off by the raven-haired boy. while megumi might not care about a lot of things, yet his freedom, and ability to come home anytime he want as long as it’s before 11 pm was something he valued.
“what do you mean grounded! you can’t ground me.”
“YES I CAN! and with that little outburst, youre grounded for…”
megumi glares at white haired man, trying to call his bluff.
“FOR TILL COLLEGE!”
“FOR TILL COLLEGE?” it was rare to hear megumi raise his voice.
“BOTH OF YOU CALM DOWN,” you were surprised by your own volume before clearing your throat, trying desperately for a redemption, “please calm down.”
“for till college and that’s final.” gojo settles back down in his seat, looking rather pleased with himself.
a moment of silence passes before mrs. sato speaks up. “I’m sorry but as evidenced by this meeting and the previous ones, megumi’s behavior is clearly a source of joke to you both and not taken seriously. he will be expelled effective immediately. we can no longer welcome him as a student here.”
“mrs. Sato, please, I-“
the teacher stands up and ushers all three of you to the door, “mrs.gojo, there is no need for excuses, this is my final decision. thank you for your understanding.”
as you try to reason with the teacher, gojo nudges megumi. “pretty convincing act there, huh?”
“so I’m not grounded?”
“course not! you knocked out four peoples’ teeth! doubled since the last time. did you use the jab I taught you?”
megumi nods and gojo raises his hand for a high-five.
“gojo satoru and megumi fushiguro .”
the two of them turn back in fear.
“princess, you heard that?” gojo swallows.
“home. now. and you two are in a lot of trouble.”
he sighs as he follows you to the parking lot. looks like keeping his mouth shut was much harder job than he thought.

Hi! I really adore your writing!! I was wondering when you’re not busy if you could write a leo x reader oneshot where the reader has been feeling kind of touch starved lately and has resorted to reading fanfics when the turtles are out doing things? I thought it would be a kinda nice hurt(not really)/comfort concept, but I’m not great at writing myself, haha! Thank you for your time!
∑一Fanfic Tease。・゜・
Tumblr media
author’s note: anon you are the sweetest, i hope this oneshot finds you well and this is kind of close right? I think I went off the deep end with this one, thank you for your support and request <3
warnings: lots of fluff, cursing, teasing, young love
『 donnie’s 』
—————————————————————————
“Hello hello??” Leonardo said into his phone as he was running with his brothers jumping from rooftop to rooftop. “I’m here!” You said as you scrolled through your tumblr feed, you had put Leo on speaker as soon as he called, trying to find something good to read.
“Sorry I had to portal out like that, all the mutants we’ve faced decided to team up so I don’t think I’ll be back for awhile” you could hear the wind whistling in the background. “I know, you don’t need to apologize Lee, you’re a hero go and defeat the bad guys! And please try not to get hurt,” you added on hopefully. “I’ll come back with a badass scar just for you,” he teased.
“Leo! That’s not what I-“ a loud crash could be heard and then some static. “Hello?!” Your voice raised in worry, “all good!” Leo groaned, “gotta go!” and then the phone call ended. Your heart was pounding and you told yourself that the turtles dealt with all kinds of crazy shit. Loud crashes were normal, yep a normal day in the life of a ninja.
You blew out a breath, hoped for everyone’s safe return, and distracted yourself. Which you had become pretty good at that, reading was your solace, when a story was good enough you could literally read for hours on end. Lately the patrolling and hero duty had taken a lot of time away from you and Leo. He’d get to your place and five minutes later he’d get a call or the voice channel tech on his wrist would blow up with his brother’s voices.
This had been the fourth time this week and Leo usually never called you right after portaling, maybe it had shown on your face how disappointed you were. The plan had been a movie night, and five minutes into the movie, (quite seriously you had paused it to see how far the both of you had gotten) and he was portaling away promising to finish it with you later.
You had just gotten comfortable in each others arms too. Your heart panged, it had been even longer since something like that had happened. Or maybe not, truly you couldn’t remember and yet you felt guilty, guilty for feeling so needy. The only thing that made you feel half better was a good fan fiction and tumblr was usually your go-to. You searched up hurt/comfort fics and got to reading.
You’d start smiling as the characters would be there for each other in the end, show so much passion and love for one another. It warmed your heart and made you feel so so happy, you were kicking your feet at one particular cute scene when a blue circle formed above your bed. “Incoming!!” Leo yelled as he front flipped into his portal and almost crushed you.
“Leo!” You said exasperated falling off your own bed. “Whoops! My bad,” he chuckled as he peered over the edge of your bed to see your fallen figure on the ground. You looked up at him and couldn’t stop the small smile, happy he was back and happy he looked uninjured. You stood up and Leo rolled over, making room for you to get back in bed. “Oh what do we have here?” Leo said as he felt your phone underneath his shell. He picked it up, seeing it was still unlocked and open on a story, he cleared his throat, “My darling, you know that I would cross galaxies if it meant I could be with you, then he leaned in impossibly closer, looking down at your lips asking silently for your permission, you’re eyes said it all as he claimed-“
“LEONARDO STOP IT!” Your skin went a few shades darker with embarrassment as you lunged for your phone. But Leo being the little annoying shit that he is, kept on reading, holding the phone away from you “-your lips in a warm embrace and it was everything you had dreamed it would be, soft and warm yet you could feel his burning passion for you,” Leo looked smugly at you and you decided the time for action was now. You got on top of his plastron effectively stunting his escape and eventually stopped his waving arm as you pried your phone from his three green fingers.
You huffed, locking the phone and shooting Leo the death glare. He was looking up at you, smirking, he was always so freaking cocky! Yet as the two of you had a staring match you could see a slight hint of a blush just underneath his bandana. “Sooo” Leo said looking down at where your legs were straddling him and was it possible to feel even more embarrassed?! You yelped and jumped off of him quickly, accidentally kicking him, “okay, I may have deserved that one,” he sputtered as he tried to regain his composure.
“Oh I’m sorry did I kick you ?” You said looking at his plastron and not seeing any bruises. “It’s fine,” Leo said laughing, “must’ve really embarrassed you huh?” You glowered again, all concern gone, “You think? I climbed all over you with no regard to get you to stop!” and then you sighed, turning away from him. “Aw Y/n I was just teasing, it sounded like a.. great story!” He said enthusiastically. “But isn’t it kinda cheesy?” he added on unable to help his questioning as to why.
“Not to me, it’s so romantic and,” you stopped short feeling your ears warm, “and?” Leo said scooting closer to peer over your shoulder to see your face. “I don’t know, just drop it!” You felt the all consuming blush take over again. “Darling~” Leo cooed and you looked at him to see he was blushing furiously too, “I’d portal across the entire universe if it meant I could be next to you.. watching our favorite movies,” he smiled down at you slightly embarrassed cause it was just so cheesy to him.
But to you it made your heart melt, especially since he said it so seriously. But then he goes on unable to stop himself from ruining a sweet moment, “then he leans closer,” but wait-! He really was leaning closer, your eyes widened and he looked like he was trying to act like he’d done this before, “silently asking for your permission,” but as he looked to your eyes he didn’t know what a ‘yes look’ was so as the seconds ticked on, you initiated despite feeling so flustered,
it was a soft, sweet kiss that was fleeting and chaste. You leaned back and opened your eyes to see Leo grinning, “well I can see the appeal,” he murmured as he leaned back in for one more. Maybe you’d have to leave your fan fiction up and open on your phone more often..

MY FAVOURITE
HENDERSON
PART FIFTEEN
Tumblr media
fandom: stranger things
parings: eddie x f henderson reader
warnings: none really, small argument
note: i have soo many requests for my henderson series, and i’m trying to do them in an order that makes the most sense! pls don’t think i’m ignoring your requests, most likely i’ve already started a draft for it and i’m just trying to figure out when it will best fit in with the story! <3

Tumblr media Tumblr media
Being a role model student meant that you had to chaperon new students around the school. It wasn’t something that you particularly liked doing, but you did it nonetheless. Anything to prove your worth for a scholarship, even if it didn’t really matter at all, right?
So here you were, showing yet another new student around the school. You always felt more comfortable with girls, so when you discovered it was a boy you were showing around you were a little anxious. But all of those nerves faded away when you quickly discovered his sexuality.
The new kid was gay.
So then over the course of a few days you and the new kid, Carl, became fairly close. You invited him to hang out with your friends, which he gladly excepted. Honestly you spent a huge chunk of time at school with him, Carl was just so easy to talk to and better yet he didn’t have any pre assumed opinions about you.
Eddie on the other hand was not happy with how close you and the new kid had gotten. In fact he spent all of lunch staring at the pair of you, rage behind his eyes as you talked for the entire break. He just couldn’t believe that you were doing this to him. The two of you weren’t dating and you had never set any boundaries but Eddie just assumed that there was a mutual understanding, that you were his and he was yours, whether your relationship was offical or not.
When Eddie came over that afternoon you knew that something was up. He didn’t greet you, didn’t flirt with you, didn’t touch you, in fact he didn’t even look at you. Eddie ignored you when you said hello and shut Dustin’s bedroom door in your face when you attempted to grab his hand and ask him what was up.
You were extremely confused and began to feel rather insecure due to his actions. You tried to wrack your brain for any explanation, but you couldn’t come up with one. You hadn’t done or said anything to Eddie to make him act so cold towards you.
After an hour of sitting in your room you finally got up, tearing open Dustin’s bedroom door. You ignored your brothers protests as you waltzed right in and stood in front of Eddie, who still wouldn’t look at you.
“What’s your problem, Munson?” You asked, hand on your hips as you looked down at him expectantly. Eddie continued to ignore you and you rolled your eyes. “Don’t ignore me, what the hell have I done to you?”
“Y/N, just leave him alone,” Dustin said.
You narrowed your eyes at Dustin, clearly he knew something. “What did I do, Dustin? Huh? You obviously know the answer, so tell me, because as far as I know Eddie is ignoring me for no reason,” you said.
“Why don’t you go talk to your new boyfriend, Carl?” Eddie snapped. You looked back over at him. “I mean seriously, Y/N? A new guy comes to school and you’re all over him. What about me? What about us?” He asked. You furrowed your eyebrows at his words. “You’re gunna throw away everything that we’ve made for a guy you don’t even know…? I know we aren’t dating but I thought I meant more to you than that!” Eddie yelled.
“Eddie…” You began. “Carl is gay…” Eddie blinked up at you, his eyes widened once he had processed your words. You began to giggle. “Oh my God! You’re so territorial of me, it’s like adorable,” you teased.
“Carl is gay?” Eddie asked. You nodded and he facepalmed. “I’m such an idiot.”
“No, you’re just cute,” you smiled, sitting next to him, wrapping your arms around his neck. “You have nothing to worry about.”
Eddie sighed in relief, leaning into your touch. “I’m sorry for snapping at you, kitten,” he said.
You hummed, “it’s okay, baby.”
“Please stop with the flirting and the pet names, I really can’t deal with this right now,” Dustin said, shaking his head as the pair of you started kissing. “Jesus Christ, now you’re making out! I feel like i’m going to throw up- you know what just both of you get out of my room, please. I’m begging!”

[Anne is at a con for herpetologists and other researchers/scientists in the zoology field. She’s setting up for her speech on amphibians as a guest speaker]
Anne: Okay. Hello everyone here and everyone watching the livestream, my name is Anne Boonchuy-Plantar and I am here to discuss in this panel about amphibians, more specifically frogs. The efforts we’ve made so far to preserve endangered species, the new species we’ve found just this year and those that we’ve lost and what we can do better to prevent future extinction. First I’d like to open with the good news and discuss what we’ve preserved and gotten off of the endangered list, in this slide I have the list…
[Anne’s PowerPoint slide flips to a picture of her, Sasha and Marcy. Anne is in the middle as Sasha is taking a selfie, Anne is covered in mud with an armful of various frogs. Sasha and Marcy are kissing her on the cheek. Some light chuckles from the audience.]
Anne: Oh, um sorry, I don’t know how that got in there…um…oh, I remember this pic. It was on our honeymoon a few months ago. I’m still surprised that my wives agreed to come to that frog sanctuary during our visit to my third of the trip, it’s not that they don’t like amphibians, they do but moreso toads and newts than frogs. *sigh* I’m so lucky to be able to have married my two best friends.
Audience: Awwwwwwwww
Anne: Er, um, ack. Okay, so muh-moving on to the real presentation!!
[Meanwhile, Sasha and Marcy are watching the livestream]
Sasha: You put that picture in there didn’t you Mars?
Marcy: Yep.
Sasha: And it’s likely you’ll do the same to my presentation at the conference I have next month.
Marcy:100%
Sasha: Good. I wanna show off my beautiful and perfect wives.
Marcy: Awww <3

I got inspired to write this based on an order I got from @cafecourage (they're lovely btw <3 would reccomend) that I got an ace sticker with my Sky keyrings - and how that spiralled into how Sky is an ace Icon with @angry-trashcan
Tumblr media
“[Name] would it be alright if I told you something about myself-”
“Hey Sky, now that we’ve been together for a while there’s something I should probably tell-” 
“You can go first.”
“No, you, I can wait.”
Even though Sky and I have only been dating for a couple of months, well engaged for a couple of weeks now on top of that, not that I was aware of that fact until recently. We’re surprisingly in sync with how we talk to each other, it’d be cute if I weren’t worried about what he’s about to tell me. 
“Please Sky, you go first.”
“Okay, Just don’t hate me, please…”
“I - I don’t like the idea of sex, I really don’t like it. But I know a lot of people only really look for relationships for it, so I don’t want to, I don’t know, I don’t want you to get upset because I don't want to do that.”
“You’re asexual as well?”
He looks so confused right now, not upset, but like he’s figuring out something about himself. I’ll give him a moment to find himself before I carry on, he looks like he’s having an entire identity crisis, rethinking everything he’s ever known. But he looks pleased now, it must just have clicked for him.
“Asexual? As well?? You mean, I’m not the only person like this, and that you’re the same way??”
“Yeah, it’s what I wanted to tell you. I’m the same way, I know what it feels like.”
“So you won’t be disappointed by me?”
Tears are running down his face now, but he’s smiling so wide at the same time so I know that he’s just gotten some of the best news in his life and his tears are all for good reason. What has he been treated like to have this reaction still though? Coming out like this to a partner is tough, how stressed has he been in the last few days… oh this has to have been why he’s been so on edge. Taking him into my arms was an easy choice to make, a quick one as well seeing how fragile he is at the moment, comforting any of the links like this feels like second nature. My shirt getting wet isn’t an issue either although no doubt Sky’ll be falling over himself to apologise later. Running my hands through his hair always seemed to calm him before so it should help now.
“I could never be disappointed in you Sky. If you don't mind me asking… have people been disappointed in you for it?”
“... Zelda as much as I care for her, she - well she never dropped the idea of us having children. I loved her, but we weren’t right as a couple. She just didn’t respect it. She didn’t respect me now that I really think about it.”
“Sky I’m so sorr-”
“But that doesn’t matter because I have you now and you’re never going to leave me. I won’t ever let you [name], you’re mine now. You’re the first person who truly understands me.”
Like with the others, he knows I don't belong to Hyrule but he doesn’t seem to care about that at the minute, or he has something else planned to deal with that “issue”. Knowing how far he went for Zelda it seems somewhat fitting he’d push himself further than he should for me, no matter how much I’d prefer he rest. That thing he said under his breath as well ...
“Sky you know at some point I have to leave Hyrule… as much as I want to stay here with you I - I can’t just abandon my life like-”
“I also wanted to ask that when the time comes that you have to leave, would you accept me going with you?”
This impatience isn't like Sky, how he's interrupting me so constantly. He's got to be rushing all of his words out because he's stressed or something. 
his hair is so soft. 
Even with everything he knows, that he’s the start of this, he’d instead leave it all behind for me? He’s willing to leave everything behind over this, he’s far more important than anything here. Is that why he’s so willing to leave? Because he doesn’t want that fate, I wouldn’t blame him. 
“If it's what you want, Sky I could never turn you away. As long as you’re certain about it, if there is a way back to my world after all I’m not sure if you could ever come back.”
“Coming back doesn’t matter seeing as I would get to spend the rest of my life with you… I’m alright with that chance [name]. It would be more than worth it to me. There’s one other thing as well, what exactly does asexual mean..?”
“I understand based on what I feel, but I think there’s more to it from how you said it.”
“Yeah there is, it’s somewhat common in my world. I identify with it myself”
Where do I even begin with explaining this to him, there are so many different ways to identify with it and it can be so different for each person. Maybe it would be for the best to find out exactly how he feels first, I could wait for a while, it'd be a far easier talk after he's calmed down.
"explaining can wait though, right now I think I'd prefer to just rest here, I think that would be best for you as well…"
"hmm, as long as you stay by my side the whole time. I don't ever want to be apart from you… never if I can help it.”
“Have you always been this clingy or am I remembering things wrong - Not that it’s bad of course!”
“I just like being close to you [name].”
He really has gotten more attached over the last week, the same time he’s been getting more stressed, this really must’ve been playing on his mind for a while now. More than it has been for me, far more than it’s been on my mind. When we get back to my world I’ll make sure to treat him to whatever he could possibly want, after everything it’s the least he deserves. 
“You know… if you’re coming with me when this is all over… It’s probably a good idea to learn how to read how my language is written now.”
“Mhm… that would make sense. I could read your journals if I learned…”
“What was that Sky?”
“Nothing you’ll need to worry about my dove.”

Why am I reacting to these like it’s my first time seeing them?? I’ve watched these like at least 3 times and that’s for the new episodes because I was absent in the fandom bc I am a wondering cat who can not stay in one fandom house or even fandom neighborhood lol)
Okay but I actually love Logan giving Deceit room to speak in selfishness v. Selflessness Redux (wether he wanted to or not)
Him being upset at Patton for skipping his information just bc it didn’t contribute to his side
Logan teaming up with Deceit! it was great
It definitely felt like a “you’re both hurting him too” moment for Patton and Roman, especially Patton who seems to be like the purest of light sides. We’ve seen them unintentionally hurt Thomas before but this was huge
(Also is it me or does Deceit seem kind of salty/passive aggressive, almost like he’s upset that something happened bc Thomas wasn’t taking time for himself… mmmmm wonder what big things have happened bc Thomas wasn’t taking his time and listening to parts of himself… -glances at Virgil ducking out- on top of the three of them already being pushed down and out for so long, not being given the seat at the table)
Also why do all the dark side so far have the same humor, it’s always the sarcastic not technically wrong mixed with the taking things literally
Virgil: oh I’m sorry, was I not wanted at this exact second? (His literally 2nd line in the whole series lmao)
Virgil: do you actually want me to count them? (See a previous post of mine for more details and a better actual quote but it was a response to a question from Logan where he couldn’t tell if he actually wanted him to count out how many times they’d done something or if it was rhetorical)
Remus: (in reaction to Logan saying “and figuratively dress him down”) oh! Well if that’s what you wanted, Logan *pants unzip* you could’ve just said so!
(To which Logan screams about how this is the exact reason he puts the silly “figuratively”s in there for since Roman constantly calls them unnecessary)
Also Logan seems to have gotten this form of combating this down pat(ton) and it makes me wonder if he hangs out with them or just maybe just Virgil and that’s why he has this habit or is it just him being himself
Janus: you’re right we wouldn’t want to plant too many trees (after giving a face/noise of “well…” when Patton said something like “everything in moderation”)
Janus:(in response to Romans: “well when is it enough?” Where he’s pretty obviously talking about the previous topic) …trees?
All to come down to my point I love their sense of humor so much lmao

Idol Time’s First Episode featuring Venus’ Chloe Lee (@venusvity), aired on February 17th, 2024 with the shows host, Everlast’s Cody. The video gained 10M views in the first 3 hours and 25M views overall, earning it a #1 trending spot.
Tumblr media
The Idol Time studio lights up as the video begins and a smiling Cody walks in, sitting down on a conveniently placed chair. He holds a set of queue cards in one hand, his other hand playing around with the microphone that sits in front of his face.
The setting is somewhat simple, two plain-coloured chairs opposite to each other, with a few lights strung above the seats and a glowing sign with ‘Idol Time’ scrawled over it, in a space-themed font.
Cody waits a couple of beats before saying the opening line, with the most enthusiasm he could possibly muster, “Welcome to Idol Time, the only interview show you need to worry about and the best interview show you’ve ever seen. Obviously, hosted by the Shin Junseo. Or Cody, whatever works!”
“Here we are. Episode one of Idol Time and honestly, I can’t believe I’ve gotten far enough to have my own show.” He laughs in mock sadness, wiping away faux tears. “But anyways! I'd like to introduce the first guest of the show, my favourite member of Venus and a very familiar face, Chloe Lee!” Chloe, right on cue and clearly rehearsed, walks into frame and sits down in the velvet blue chair placed next to Cody’s. “Hiii everyone! So nice to be here!” Chloe says cooly into the mic, waving to the camera with an excited but nervous smile.
“So? What are your thoughts so far?” Cody questions, clearly overjoyed by her presence. She nods slightly in response. "I'm very excited to be here, actually! Super excited to tell everyone about the album and everything in between.” She's not really excited to do either of those things but Chloe manages to pretend she is.
“Great! I was a little nervous having someone as famous as you on here, but I’m glad we’ve started off well.” Chloe chuckles quietly at Cody’s response, covering her mouth with her hand, politely. Smoothly, Cody introduces the next question. “You’ve been working hard recently, I’m sure everyone’s seen your face around a lot. Starzie especially, has been a big hit in the past few weeks, how was your debut?” His lips twitch to form a tight smile as he grips onto the queue cards, the mention of Starzie bringing back a few somber memories.
“Oh Starzie is...So much fun! Um, it's a lot to be promoting at the same time as Venus but it's fun. It was totally worth all that stress,” Chloe answers with a laugh, running her hand through her hair with a nod.
“I like working with everyone but Finn. He's a bit unpredictable," Chloe jokes with a playful smile before shrugging, “I was super excited to work with Doah and Poppy. Those two are so cool, especially Poppy. I really look up to her since she's the most experienced out of all of us. It's been super cool working with everyone and collaborating like that.”
Cody hums, nodding along to her words. “And I thought Finn was the most responsible member.” He responds to her joke, nudging Chloe’s shoulder. He tilts his head, preparing for the next question. “So I listened to the album and then again last week to refresh my memory and I absolutely loved it. Back 2 U and Beautiful Liar were my favourites but, we’re here to talk about you. Did you initially like the album and can we expect a comeback anytime soon?”
Chloe opens her mouth when asked about liking Starzie's debut before she inhales sharply, making an unsure face with a tilt of her head. Chloe laughs with a shrug, leaning back in her chair. “I mean! It's not what I'm used to! It's very loud! But I think we killed it. I liked working with the Starz especially on the B-sides. I think the B-sides are really where the album shines.” Cody silently agrees. He shifts in his chair before replying, “I like that about the album, though, It shows that a title track doesn’t need to carry the whole album to be a good listen, you know?” Chloe’s smile brightens with each word. “Exactly! You get it.”
Chloe continues, “I hope there’ll be a comeback soon! I hope we get a full album next time. Because, you know, promoting with those guys is super fun, I really enjoy it especially the girls--Oh, I love the girls. We're the show, really,” Chloe rambles, talking with her hands flippintly as she does so. “When we're backstage together, I always forget I'm not with Venus--It's such a weird feeling. Like, I'll look to my left to tell Bliss good luck and she's literally not there. It's Oliver. It's crazy. I love it! Just crazy, you know?”
“I know, we all get so used to a routine so when it changes it’s so weird.” He pauses, “You’re lucky, I bet it’s a nice change. I get so tired of promoting with my group every comeback. Love those guys though, don’t get me wrong.” He says, lightheartedly.
“Next question! We were on the same survival show, I killed it, You killed it, but I think we should be truthful about our experiences.” Cody starts, “Personally, I had a lot of fun, it was great and all, but there were some tough times. So I wanna know how you viewed it? Were things the same on and off camera?”
Chloe clicks her tongue as she looks up in thought, humming with an unsure expression.
"I wouldn't do it again. 'Wasn't my favorite experience," Chloe admits with a subtle shrug,
"You were there! You saw how stressful it was! Sorry 'bout that," Chloe laughs anxiously, giving a sheepish smile. "Yeah, I don't really...Like survival shows really put me in a bad headspace and I think that was really clear on the show. Like...l just wasn't doing well on that show. I wish I behaved differently...Sorry you had to experience that, Cody." She teases, reaching out and playfully putting her hand on his with a laugh.
Cody laughs along with her, shaking his head slowly. “It’s fine, Chloe. If I had to apologise for all the times I’d cussed out people in my life, I would be old and withering by the time I was done.” He stares at the camera awkwardly and the clip cuts to the next.
Cody clears his throat before continuing, eyes glued to his lap. “Do you—think anyone could’ve been rigged into Starzie?” Chloe pauses, looking down with a quirk of her lips.
“Um...l don't think so. No offense,” Chloe teases Cody again with a chuckle, trying not to look bored of the Starzie questions. He rolls his eyes in response, smiling sweetly straight after. “I thought there would be more boys, honestly. There's only two in the group and that was just barely...Maybe one of them was rigged in,” She speculates with a chuckle, “Finn was probably rigged in. I'm shocked SM didn't rig that Aespa girl in. I heard they tried but it didn't work out.” Chloe shrugs.
“I don't feel like being in a group called Starzie is that serious for rigging, you know?”
“Well, you heard it here first, everyone! Starzie is not a repeat of any of the Produce shows.” He voices, sending a jab their way. “Now, onto more pressing matters than a tortuous survival show, Venus! I also happened to love Venus Victrix, how were promotions?”
Chloe perks up at the mention of Venus, glad Cody’s moved on to a different topic. She sits up straighter and crosses her legs.
“They've been great! I love Venus!" Chloe laughs, smiling brightly. "It's been, you know, stressful with all the overlapping promotions but I'm coping! I'm growing...Everyday is a new adventure and I love that.”
“Any songs you disliked?” Cody entreats, his voice increasing in pitch as he asks. “Disliked? Um...l mean...7Seconds is kind of boring. It's not my favorite. Sorry to Noah. I know he liked that song but it just bores me. The rest of the album is flawless though. I'm really pleased with it.”
Cody blinks at the camera a couple of times before relaxing his face, a serious expression covering his usually bright smile. He quickly looks down and returns to the script “You’ve been talking about how stressed and overworked you are, I know it’s a sensitive topic. Is there anything you’d like to share with viewers?”
Chloe deflates slightly with sigh, nodding in defeat. She looks up, inhaling sharply though her teeth as she starts to pull out her acting skills.
“I've always had, um, struggles with my mental health. When you've been an idol for as long as I have—l've literally been doing this for eight years,” Chloe emphasizes how long she's been working, looking back at Cody with a forced smile. “You go through lows and I...l'm in a low. It's just...It's been really hard juggling everything—“ Chloe makes herself get chokes up, voice breaking pathetically making her look away and dab the inner corners of her teary eyes, sniffling.
“And it's so strange because I should be really happy! Venus is doing amazing, Starzie is doing well, everything I do is great, but I just wake up and feel like I'm stuck and I hate it.”
It's so—“ Chloe struggles to think of a word, taking a deep breath through her nose before deflating with a defeated shrug. “I don't know.” She sighs, silently looking away.
“I was diagnosed with, um, PTSD recently so l think, maybe, that has something to do with it? But, yeah, it hasn't been easy lately.”
Cody looks at Chloe, giving her a sort of sad-sympathetic smile. Chloe doesn’t pay this any mind and simply signals for him to continue, which he does. “Thank you, Chloe. I hope things get easier for you, don’t feel like you have to be happy because everyone and everything around you is.” He replies, earnestly. “Now, fans have been asking and would love to know, What’s your Ideal type?”
Chloe blinks at the question, no matter how hard she tries she looks agitated at the question. She pushes out air through her nose in lieu of a laugh.
“My ideal type is someone who works hard, is tall, strong, and will protect me,” Chloe lists, bouncing her leg anxiously as she thinks over the fan question. She can't stop herself from smiling because she knows where this is going. Cody hums again in response and decides then to attempt to cut to the point of all these previous questions. “So, would you date a fan?”
Chloe shrugs and replies simply. “I mean, fans are just people. Why not?” Cody’s not sure he can agree with that one, but he pretends like he can anyways. He takes a slow breath before proceeding to read off of his script once more, “There’s been some rumours floating around, and I wanted to be the first to ask you about them. Anything about you and a popular fansite you’d like to tell us about?”
Chloe chuckles when he says "popular" quickly going back to a neutral face. She looks at the camera then back at Cody, shaking her head.
“It's been a really hard few months. So, I wasn't making the most wise of decisions but I mean,” Chloe throws her hands out before dropping them on her thighs, “He's a grown man. I'm a grown woman. I don't see the drama in this? Everyone just overreacts at the smallest of things. We went on a date,” Chloe confesses to the camera despite the distressed look on her manager's face from behind the camera. “Like a singular date. Sue me. I think a man my age is cute and want to have a drink with him.” Chloe dismisses with a sigh, leaning back in her chair. “Every idol is dating someone. Get over it.”
Cody snorts. “Little overprotective to be just one date.” Chloe sends him a quick and discreet glare that makes Cody immediately quiet down. “No, you’re right.” The clip comically cuts there and begins to play the final segment.
“To wrap everything up, Is there anything else you’d like to say to the viewers?” He asks, “Or maybe some future plans you want fans to know about?”
“Yeah!” Chloe forms a heart with her hands, beaming at the camera. "Dulce, I love you!” She laughs, blowing a kiss towards the screen.
“Oh! After Venus Victrix wraps up...l'm going to be releasing my first solo album!" Chloe announces with an excited smile, giving a thumbs up to the camera. “There will be a lot of Venus solos so keep an eye out! We're all very excited to share them with you guys!”
Cody cheers eagerly at the news and pumps his fist in the air for exaggeration. “A win for me.”
Chloe laughs at Cody’s gesture and now gives finger hearts, smiling sweetly to the camera with a tilt of her head to look cute.
“Thank you so much for having me! I love talking so thank you for listening! I'll see you all soon!” She blows a kiss to the camera one last time before waving.
“Thank you for watching and supporting Idol Time, See you next time!” Cody finishes, giving the final words of the Episode to Chloe.
“Stream Venus Victrix, Cush by Starzie, and follow me on Instagram at ChloeLee! Thank you! Bye byeee~”

part five: chirp.
Did you miss Scott? I missed Scott! So here he is <3
Oh- and thank you for 200+ followers! I’m glad to be gathering more of the silly majorwood readers (or just people interested in the story in general) we got a lot in store! I’m wrapping up the story soon with chapter 24 currently being written up, so we’ve gotten pretty far!
Tumblr media
Martyn’s eyes blinked open as he was greeted by a red sky as the sounds of the town wrapped around them. They were back home again. He sat up as the carriage came to a stop and tapped both Grian and Joel. 
“Come on,” Martyn yawned, covering his mouth as the door opened, “We’ve made it.”
Martyn bowed at the coachman and smiled, a silent thanks for taking them back. Grian and Joel followed suit, their postures still showing their tiredness. 
The town looked wonderful at this hour. There were far less people outside, and the streetlights were beginning to illuminate. Martyn took in the sight as the chilly air from the sea drifted further into the city, basking in the freedom from the stuffy air of the palace and enjoying the more open environment. The buildings weren’t perfect and neither were the people, but their imperfection made this place feel more alive than the pristine white walls of the palace.
It always felt like putting on a porcelain mask whenever they visited the palace.
Martyn, Grian, and Joel arrived at The Golden Apple, where they would find the other Canaries. They liked hanging around this place in the evenings, so this was the perfect spot to regroup and talk about their meeting with the king, granted only if they weren’t intoxicated. If they were, then it’d just be something they’d have to save for a different day.
Martyn hoped their crew wouldn’t be intoxicated, as this was important news. It wasn’t like the king was giving out missions like this to every hunter, it was just for their group.
He pushed the door open.
The tavern was filled with loud and lighthearted cheers despite the exterior being somber and relaxing. It was noisier and more packed than it had been earlier in the day. Drunken cheers were heard across the room, drinks clanging together under torchlight. The fireplace roared as a large pork was roasted, the smell of cooked meat wafting through the tavern as the trio glanced around the room to look for their crew. 
The Canaries’ table was near the bar counter, the crew smiling and laughing. Scar looked up to see the trio and waved, standing up to greet them, “Hey guys! How was it?”
“It was… something. Short and quick as usual.” Grian sighed.
His eyes glanced to the side before Scar raised his voice with a grin, leaning closer to the captains and Martyn as they approached, “Buuuut?” 
Grian crossed his arms, “TIES were there.”
“Ugh, those guys,” Cleo groaned, leaning on the back of their chair, “Why were they there?”
Bdubs’ eyes widened, standing up from his chair as Martyn, Joel, and Grian took their seats, “How was Impulse?”
Bdubs’ fist was closed around the sword necklace the commander had given him months ago. 
“He asked about you, ‘dubs. He misses you too,” Joel laughed. Bdubs smiled, a light hint of red flushed on his cheeks. “And regarding why they were there, well… the king gave us a commission. A special one.”
Cleo raised an eyebrow, “Why do you look so dreaded, then? He’s given us commissions before, on top of all our monthly work,” they shrugged, “It won’t be hard.”
Martyn, Joel, and Grian shot glances at each other, mentally asking themselves who would be the one to tell them about the beast they would be hunting before winter came. The Canaries’ smiles dropped, leaning in closer as they noticed the trio’s discomfort. They gave the trio confused looks, silently prompting them to open their mouths.
It looked like the Canaries weren’t the only ones interested in what they had to say. Some tables around them grew quiet, shifting their attention to the hunters.
Martyn took a deep breath.
“That’s the thing,” Martyn glanced at the floor before looking at his crew, “He asked us to hunt a sea prince.”
Stunned silence.
A perfectly understandable reaction.
“Not hunt per se, he said capture,” Joel nudged Martyn’s shoulder, “But it holds a lot of weight, doesn’t it?”
The silence was deafening.
It felt like the entire tavern’s focus was on them, just as it was earlier.
Cleo’s eyes narrowed, “They don’t exist. Why even ask us to hunt something that doesn’t exist?”
Bdubs nodded, agreeing with them. Scar tilted his head, looking at Bdubs and Cleo before looking at Martyn with a shrug. They were hunter children just as he was. They knew the stories as much as he did. They should believe in these stories like he did.
“Didn’t you two grow up with those stories?” Martyn raised an eyebrow, looking at both Bdubs and Cleo.
Bdubs sat down, “We did! We’ve been out to sea our whole lives,” he crossed his arms, “You’d expect we’d see some kind of sign by now.”
Lizzie spoke up, glancing at Cleo and Bdubs, “He wouldn’t give us a commission we can’t complete. We can do this.”
“How would you even prove they exist?” A different voice spoke, causing the Canaries to turn and see Scott with his eyebrow raised and arms crossed.
Scott! 
Martyn felt himself grin. He expected a smile back, like always, but… 
Oh, he doesn’t look too happy.
“I’m sorry, I don’t mean to interrupt your hunter talk, but,” Scott sighed, walking closer to the hunters, “Those are just stories. Besides, even if they were real, you wouldn’t survive. I don’t want any of you to get hurt... Let alone die.”
Martyn shrugged, giving the ginger a reassuring smile, “We won’t die, Scott. We’re Canaries,” he looked to his crew, hoping to spark some motivation in them. “We’re employed by the king to do all sorts of dangerous missions. This one is just a little more… unique.”
Martyn stood up from his chair, tilting his head and stretching his hand out, “Besides, the sooner we finish the hunt, the sooner I come back to you.”
“It still doesn’t change the fact they’re stories.” Scott took Martyn’s hand, his eyebrows furrowed. 
Martyn felt Scott squeeze his hand.
“Aw, come on! They’re real, I just know it!” Martyn grinned, but Scott still looked wary. He was right to be worried, but Martyn knew they could handle themselves. The Canaries could always handle themselves.
They just needed encouragement.
Martyn let go of Scott’s hand, raising his voice to catch the attention of every patron in the room, “Remember the stories they told you? Told everyone? Fantastic beasts, tyrannical terrors of the deep.” He looked at every table in the room, a fire burning in his chest. “They’re larger than any monster we’ve slain, bleeding gold and silver to those who are able to strike them down!”
Martyn could hear murmurs of agreement among the patrons, whispers of legends passed down from long ago; stories of the sea princes calling upon storms, flooding towns with the tides, and the destruction they would leave behind. They were tales of horror, tales of fear, yet they hinted at a chance for the best hunters to strike at the beasts’ ugly hearts.
Martyn walked away from Scott. Martyn grinned as he walked across the tavern and raised his voice, “Think of the glory that would come when we find a sea prince, striking it down to find their treasure and proving that we are stronger than those demonic creatures!” 
The cheers grew louder with every word Martyn spoke. Hunters raised their tankards and Martyn continued, his grin widened. He heard a small laugh come out of Scott, causing him to blush. 
Scott’s laugh was so cute.
Martyn shook his head, raising his fist in the air, “Think of the treasures! The spoils! The power! The songs they’ll sing!”
The tavern was back to its loud and boisterous self, invigorated with different stories of the sea princes, some of which Martyn had never heard before. Different islands had their own stories of the sea princes, and with that, new ideas were thrown in about them. There were ideas of how to attract one or take one down using different monster carcasses or an offering. 
Maybe the legends could give us a clue?
The sea princes were many things. They were the tyrants of the ocean, stories spread of them told of the princes commanding hoards of monsters to strike down fleets of ships, told that they had the power to create storms, and shape the very sea to their bidding. There were stories of people making deals with the sea princes, but Martyn didn’t believe that. Who would make a deal with such a monster?
Martyn was interested in stories of certain sea princes.
Those monsters weren’t the same as any beast they’ve fought. Each had its own devilish behavior and way of murdering humans. 
One sea prince was known as the ‘hunter killer’, stalking down fleets of ships only to leave destruction in its wake. Another sang melodious tunes to drag its victims to the very bottom. There was a sea prince that could turn invisible and chase down its prey, and another with bright colors that was faster than any beast alive. 
If anything, Martyn wanted to find three specific sea princes.
Hunter Killer was up there; if the Canaries took down that demon, that would mean the most dangerous thing in the waters would be gone.
The colorful sea prince intrigued Martyn; how could something so colorful be that elusive? If it were one of the, if not the most, largest thing of the sea, how has it not been spotted yet? 
Finally, there was the Treasure Hoarder. 
Treasure Hoarder was the sea prince that guarded the treasures underneath the ocean. That sea prince was told to have spikes of gold with alluring golden eyes. It is said to be continually sleeping on the treasure until a human is brave enough to enter its domain.
Any of them would be a worthy final fight.
Taking the sea princes’ treasure would be one of the most heroic things they could ever do. If they couldn’t take down the beasts at this point, they could fight them with their own treasures.
It would ensure the seas could be tamed.
The Canaries were strong. They could take on beasts like that.
It was going to be legendary.
Martyn looked around the room and smiled, breathing in the newfound vigor in the hunters. He walked back to Scott, tilting his head, “They’re more than just stories, Scott. I’ll–” he paused, glancing at his crew as they engaged in their own conversation, “We’ll prove they exist. They’re more than just legends to keep people going, to continue the hunt. They’re the ultimate prize.”
“They are, aren’t they?” Scott chuckled, a sigh escaping him. He stared off into the rowdy tavern, “I know I can’t stop you. This is a big deal, and an important one to you. I just….”
Scott looked down, holding Martyn’s hand and giving it a tight squeeze.
“...I just hope you’re making the right choice.” Scott’s voice was quiet, loud enough for only Martyn to hear. 
Martyn tried to get Scott to look at him, to try and reassure the ginger they would be alright. He tilted his head, but Scott did not dare to look up. Scott continued to stare at their hands, eyebrows furrowed as if he was deep in thought. 
It was off-putting to see Scott like this.
Scott was always so cheerful and lighthearted, poking fun at his patrons in a friendly manner and greeting anyone with a smile and wave. His presence was so comforting, and to see him like this made Martyn’s stomach twist. Martyn tightened his grip on the other’s hand, causing him to flinch. Scott blinked, looking up at Martyn, and sighed, a smile forming on his lips. Martyn smiled back, a blush rising on his cheeks. 
The environment around them seemed to blur. The sounds of the tavern faded to a distant buzzing as their gazes locked. The world was on pause, it could wait a little longer. 
Martyn raised his hand and cupped one of Scott’s cheeks. Scott leaned into the touch, humming as he put his hand over the blonde’s. Martyn caressed his thumb over Scott’s cheek, feeling the soft, smooth skin of the other with a chuckle. Martyn used his other hand to move Scott’s hair from his face, moving closer and closer…
Scott’s eyes glanced to the side and widened, pushing Martyn away in a swift motion.
“I think it’s time for me to go,” Scott glanced back and forth from one of the windows to Martyn, “I’ve been here all day, I’m pretty tired.” 
Martyn moved his hands to his sides. Right. Scott was working, and it was late. “I’ll walk you home, it’s no big deal–” 
“No!” Scott’s sudden shout made Martyn step back, causing a few eyes to land on them. Scott shook his head, getting the other patrons to look away.
“I mean… no. Sorry,” Scott sighed, tilting his head, “I have someone to take me home already. They’re by the door.”
Martyn blinked, “Oh.” He smiled, “I’ll bring you to the front, then?”
Scott nodded, turning to the entrance, “That’d be fine.”
The walk was short but quiet in contrast to the room around them. Martyn felt people stare at them, the Canaries especially.
He already knew he was going to be asked so many questions by them.
Martyn stopped by the door, leaning against the wall. Scott opened it, his eyes lighting up with a smile as Martyn heard the sounds of footsteps approaching. He took a small glance, seeing a young woman with long and loose brown and yellow eyes with a big cape covering most of her outfit as she walked towards them. She seemed to glide across the ground as if passing through fog. She looked at Martyn and smiled at him, but the moment her eyes landed on Scott she visibly looked happier.
Scott turned, smiling, “Goodnight, hunter.”
“Goodnight, Scott.” Martyn smiled back, giving the ginger a small wave.
Scott shut the door, but Martyn remained leaning against the wall. For some reason, he couldn’t help but listen in to the conversation Scott had with this other person. He wanted to make sure Scott was safe.
This was normal to do, right?
“A hunter, ey?” The woman laughed, her voice muffled by the door. “I didn’t take you for a risky type.”
“I don’t need that talk coming from you,” Scott’s tone was light. He and the woman shared a laugh. Scott sighed, “But it’s been a while since I’ve heard your voice. How have you been?”
“Too long, I’d say! I’ve been fine, although things have been weird without you around,” the lady’s voice was energetic, Martyn could imagine a smile on her face as she spoke, “Do you think you’d be able to stay with us tomorrow?” 
Scott hummed, his voice trailing off, “The day after, I think. I’m taking a break so I can….”
Martyn couldn’t hear the rest of their conversation as Scott and the stranger walked away. It sounded like they knew each other, at least. Scott was going to be fine. Martyn turned to see a couple of faces look at him oddly. Martyn rolled his eyes. 
Don’t worry about them, you just wanted to make sure Scott was okay, and he is.
Martyn walked back to his table, the Canaries giving him mischievous looks as he sat on his seat.
“So,” Lizzie smirked, leaning on the table, “How was it?”
Martyn crossed his arms, “How was what?”
He could see Mumbo’s amused smile, Grian and Joel snickering amongst themselves. Cleo stared at Martyn with raised eyebrows and Bdubs grinned.
Did they have to do this all the time?
“Don’t be so coy, Martyn,” Scar chuckled, “Just look at your face!” 
Martyn’s blonde hair was a mess and he felt the heat coming from his cheeks. He could still feel his hand tingling where it had touched Scott’s skin. Some of the ginger’s hair had brushed Martyn’s hand as they looked at each other while the world faded from view. The only thing he could think was how alluring those eyes were… something about them was special, unique.
Everything about Scott was enchanting.
Martyn blinked, hearing the giggles from his crew as he shook his head. Focus.
“He was worried about us,” Martyn shrugged, glancing at the door, “I reassured him, though.”
“Or were you just trying to charm him?” Cleo rested her head on her hand.
“You’re all terrible.” Martyn muttered, rolling his eyes.
The Canaries shared a quick laugh, Lizzie and Grian nudging Martyn as he shook his head.
“That’s enough of that, come on,” Martyn crossed his arms and leaned on the table, “We have this commission to think about.”
A sea prince. No one knew if they existed or not, so finding one was going to be tricky. They had no idea where they would start, or if they had the proper equipment to bring it back.
No. The bet was about proof first. They can worry about the capture part later. 
They were still stuck on square one, though. The ocean was vast, scouring the whole thing just for the chance of finding one creature sounded like the best case scenario, but they were unsure where they would even start searching.
“I propose we investigate around the world border,” Mumbo spoke up, holding his chin as he looked at the crew. “Not a lot of hunters check it, and there have been mysterious things going on. It’s a good place to start, assuming we won’t get killed by massive monsters.”
The world border. Certain points of the sea were blocked by heavy mist and rocks, but no hunter ever got close enough to confirm it was true. Supposedly, multitudes of monsters would come up and demolish any ships near the vicinity, and as such, no one dared to venture far beyond certain points. It was just too dangerous.
Dangerous enough for a sea prince to be lurking around.
Grian’s eyes widened in thought. “We’ve never travelled that far south before. It could be worth a shot,” he nodded, giving Mumbo an approving smile, “We’ll need to prepare more supplies and make sure our gear is in top shape.”
“When are we leaving?” Martyn looked at Grian and Joel, who were quiet. The captains looked at each other and nodded, as if they had the same thought. 
Joel hummed, “I think… in three days. Think that’s enough time?”
Sometimes Martyn forgot how little time they spent on land. He sighed, fully knowing he wouldn’t see Scott for a while. 
This is almost your final hunt, if all goes well. When it all goes well.
The next time you see him, you could stay longer.
“You’ll have enough time to say your goodbyes to him, don’t worry,” Joel looked at Martyn, seeing the upset look his friend was giving. “But we might be gone for some time.”
Martyn shook his head, a weary smile on his face, “The hunt comes first, I won’t mind,” he nodded to Joel before looking at the rest of the Canaries. “It’s a big commission for all of us. I promise I’ll do my best.”
“And you will. Let’s call it a night, I imagine some of you might be having a hangover in the morning,” Grian rolled his eyes but he had a small smile on his face. “Rest easy, everyone.”
With that, the Canaries dispersed into the evening chill. 
—————
Martyn exited the tavern, feeling the night air shiver up his spine. The stars glittered across the inky sky, the moon full and large as it illuminated the shadowy canopy of clouds above. The stars and moon, inseparable things they were. Martyn walked along the streets, the warm glow of the streetlamps warmed the cold shadows. He could hear himself breathe, the moments of silence coming to him like a familiar melody. 
The silence came to a stop as Martyn heard the faint sounds of birdsong in the distance.
That was strange.
Shouldn’t all the birds be asleep by now?
Martyn shook his head, unsure if he actually heard it.
The call was faint, but it was there. He definitely was not making it up.
Martyn followed the birdsong, walking through the warmly lit streets as he traced the source. There were many pauses in-between the bird’s call, but it still sang. Why would a bird be up so late? It didn’t sound like any nocturnal bird, at least Martyn thinks so. It was near the edge of town, the streetlamps all but flickered out and buildings were more abandoned or run down. It didn’t look like anyone was maintaining this side of the usually busy town. Walls were boarded, planks were missing and dust piled as Martyn heard the sounds of the drifting ocean to one side. Martyn stopped at a wall.
Said wall had some thick vines and two sets of dirty footprints showing someone had climbed over. 
Was that suspicious? Yes. It was no place for Martyn to judge, but his curiosity got the better of him as he heard the birdsong grew louder, as if it was just beyond the wall.
Martyn took in a breath and climbed the wall, gripping the vine as support. With a few grunts and some strength, Martyn pulled himself over the wall. There was nothing immediately in front of him, just a better view of the town he left. He sighed, staring up at the sky to see a less obstructed view of the stars and moon above, watching him and everyone else below.
What was it like to be so high up in the sky?
Was there peace in being a star?
…Were Jimmy and Ren up there somewhere, staring unblinkingly at him from up high?
Martyn felt the evening chill crawl up his spine. He shuddered. His attention was caught as he heard the birdsong once more. 
Martyn jumped down from the wall, landing on cool beach sand to find two sets of footprints leading somewhere. The beach curled to the side, leading into a forest. Martyn followed the footprints, looking around if there was anyone following him.
He felt weird thinking about it though. He was following two random people’s footprints by accident because of a bird.
The birdsong stopped again, and so did Martyn. A flurry of yellow blurred through his vision. Martyn turned around to see a canary fluttering around him like the bird was curious. 
Martyn tried to keep up with the canary’s speed, “Hello? What are you doing singing so late, bud?”
 The canary sat on Martyn’s head and promptly pecked him. 
“Ow– What was that for?!” Martyn shook his head. The canary leapt off of him before flying away again. Martyn huffed.
He did not just spend the last few waking moments of his day chasing an annoying bird.
