#on the list of top 10 moments that will forever stay in my heart

[chaotic-minds-think-alike]

In my final hours

Something about the way his wings droop onto the floor…

I don’t know how to explain how this scene impacted me… the contrast of the cathedral with his angelic presence, the piercing echo of the organ as you approach, I could feel the anger radiating off the way he played…

But I might just be a little silly about it all and a bit too into the storytelling here

#myart #ultrakill #ultrakill gabriel #gabriel ultrakill #the process almost deterred me because I hated how it looked in the begining but I guess it looks better now #I just had to draw him playing the organ because god. god that scene #on the list of top 10 moments that will forever stay in my heart

+ 2 bonuses for fun

the protagonist of fruits basket, my girl tohru. my fellow clumsy queen. if i were going to list down 4 characters i related to the most in animanga, tohru would be one of them. maybe it won't be too much of a surprise she's on this list because one of my highest ranking posts is literally a deep dive into tohru as a character. shameless self promo read here, but this would definitely explain all the reasons i love her so much. but the amount of love this character exudes despite all the painful things she's been through, how i relate to how she tries her hardest to present herself as bubbly to hide her loneliness from even herself, there's just so much i can't help but love about this character.

sakura is one of my girls from now until forever. she's the reason i love cherry blossoms so much. if i had to pick only one character from naruto to call my favorite, it would go to sakura hands down, no questions asked. i'm a first generation sakura fan (lmao is that a thing?) where i liked her from her very introduction to naruto. i loved her pink hair, her green eyes, how she carried herself and you will always see me in the trenches defending sakura as a character and what she supplied to the naruto series. maybe it's because i also related so much to sakura growing up and growing up with the character as well, so there's a lot for me to love here.

narancia is honestly one of the most beautiful characters in jojo for me and i'm not just talking about aesthetics. off rip he comes off as a dumb, violent gangster when in actuality, in spite of the more obvious aspects of his characters, there is a strange purity to narancia. in his loyalty, in his straightforwardness to even how his stand ability manifests as a toy army plane. the implications of the child soldier narancia very much became, his efficiency in being able to kill while very much so still being that kid whose biggest fear than anything was being alone. narancia truly believed he was going to die alone in that alley. his death in jojo is honestly still to this day, one of the hardest hitting. because it was so brutal and unexpected and in a lot of ways so unfair even if the rationality as to why he was targeted made sense (i've talked a number of times with my mom who has seen jojo about how all of the characters who die in pt 5 are core members of the 'heart' of the bucci gang, narancia ofc being one of them). in that moment, everyone cried for him whereas prior he was the one who cried on behalf of the party for the loss of abbacchio.

rengoku lwk just might be everyone's fav in demon slayer but i don't care, same here. his owlish design, his vibrant energy, the conviction to stay behind his principles and even die by said principles? i can't not admire the guy and how despite his short appearance in the story, you still feel the ripple effect of it throughout the story. sasori, maybe deidara had a point when he said true beauty is fleeting and an explosion.

katsuki honestly stole the whole show of bnha for me. hell i was out here enjoying him even when he was just an irredeemable bully because i could see early on the complexity of the character and was honestly curious to see where such a belligerent personality came from. how he's reflected on himself throughout the story, becomes better than the person he was the day before, all of that is really admirable to me. it's lwk honestly gets to a point where if katsuki isn't the focus of an arc or episode, i lose interest. show me the explosion boy please. i also feel like even with the great aspect of the character, there's a lot of disservice towards him regards to how the way his parents treat him is swept under the rug, the way they completely brush over the fact they muzzled and chained him on live television due to his refusal to accept an award and presented a strong student as mentally unstable to the masses (something that led to his very kidnapping, mind you). but my gripes with those things honestly make me love this guy even more than i already do.

mitsumi from skip & loafer is another relatable character for me. from the older trans woman figure in her life (one of my moms) to the clumsiness. like mitsumi, i too am always falling over and because of that i've gotten good at picking myself up. characters like mitsumi, you can't help wanting to follow the model of. i love her straightforwardness, her open-mindedness and appreciate how she views life and those around her. i can only hope to be more like her, among some other characters i love, in my daily life. i love how it doesn't really matter who someone is in relation to her or someone else she knows, she makes her own fair assessments of that person and judges based off her experiences with that person.

tenza is the best character in hell's paradise. argue with a wall i can't be argued against here. damn did we lose when his fine ass got axed early in the storyline. i deadass almost stopped reading hell's paradise after chapter 21 because i was that upset about his death. i'm a sucker for a character who dies saving the rest of the group, and the way he went out in a blaze of glory. already dying, already bleeding out but still deciding he'd spin his last few minutes of life buying time for his comrades. his final thoughts wondering what his life could have been like if he weren't dying in that moment. the students he could have had. the wife he could have had. the visceral reaction i had seeing his body get tossed over like he was nothing but garbage? still feel that. he's another example of a character who didn't have long to shine in the story in terms of number of appearances but the way you feel his presence in the story after his death? how it fuels shion and nurugai's quest for vengeance. how that vengeance almost very well destroyed one of them. how tenza in spirit gave nurugai the will to save shion's life. i really, really loved it. it was such a subversion of expectations seeing the pupil die rather than that master.

okuyasu is definitely my favorite character in diamond is unbreakable. he comes off as just comic relief, which to be fair, okuyasu is very funny. however comma, there's so much to depth to the character that you really appreciate as the story goes on. he's a follower by nature, you can see that from the very first episode you meet him where he follows his brother's orders. that once keicho died, he immediately found someone new to follow in josuke, our jojo for the part. but you see him slowly starting to take those steps towards becoming someone who doesn't just follow, but leads. someone capable of deciding for himself what he wants to do. especially after his brother dies and he becomes a caretaker for himself and his father. how he wants to put large windfalls of money into his savings. how he is able to work around his intellectual shortcomings with his strengths. okuyasu is dumb but he isn't an idiot. he is actually quite astute in a lot of ways one doesn't expect and that he doesn't give himself credit for. so all of this made his grand decision not to follow his brother into the afterlife so satisfying.

oh how i loved furina from day fucking 1. from the moment her design got leaked i knew where my primogems were going. when she entered the story officially? i was even more in love just due to how different she was as an archon. i could understand why she wasn't for everybody but she was everything for me and that's all that mattered. then we get the level 4 tragic backstory, her 500 year long opera where she alone is on the stage? it wasn't enough just to pull for furina, furina deserved everything my account had to offer. her story quest really made me want to shove paimon and the traveler into a blender but regardless, this character has my whole heart and i will eat up any content that pertains to her as i fucking should. she deserves my everything.

sokka. absolutely sokka. seeing sokka finally get his fucking flowers during the atla revival during 2020 brought so much joy to my soul. i've loved sokka since back when atla was still airing on tv. he has been my favorite and honestly i think some of my humor and sarcasm of today relates all the way back to the guy with boomerang. i got both of my moms into atla and it really made me happy to see the guy they initially saw as the dumb funny one in the group when they just glanced at the tv when i was watching it, is actually arguably the smartest on the team and a literal genius who grew into the man he wanted to become since episode 1. that he was actually the most logical member of the team and the most practical when it came to their long term goals. he was humbled and realized his misogyny was an incorrect way of thinking, he learned from his mistakes an even with his insecurities about where he stood on the team, he never let that get him down for long.

+ 2

ojamajo doremi is coming back, so i gotta mention my two of my fav girls from the series that i relate to the most. first up, harukaze doremi or i'm doing myself a disservice. doremi is a character that has a lot of shortcomings from her clumsiness to her . and i relate a lot to her because of that. whenever i learn something new, i'm never the best at it. especially handicrafts and seeing others around me being good at those things definitely sucked. so seeing a character like that was great for me at that age. but one thing that is just so great about this girl is, to quote caribou-kun on youtube (please watch his video essay on ojamajo doremi on youtube) "she is the greatest friend in the entire world". and i don't say that lightly, she's like the tohru honda of majou shoujo. she would literally take off her shirt and give it to someone to throw up in if they needed it. the way she can connect to people. how she supports them when they most need it even if she doesn't know what is the right thing to say or even if it is at the cost of her own feelings. when i say i want to be a good friend to someone, doremi is one of the faces i picture.

and finally, senoo aiko. she was my favorite favorite of the ojamajos growing up. initially because, well, she was the blue one and blue has been my favorite color since before i can honestly remember. because damn did certain parts of her character also really relate to me. divorced parents (although in my case, they got divorced when i was very young and have been that way since my earliest memories) and doing your best to handle that situation even if you want your parents to get back together. my parents never got back together like aiko's but honestly, she i was happy to see that old dream of mine be realized through her. she has had to be the prince for herself and others in her life for most of her life, and when you finally get to see the moment she can just be the princess is wonderful.

there are other characters i haven't mentioned due to the limitations of just 10 characters but these are some characters that immediately come to mind for some major favs.

[mapoeggplant]

Hi......If you don't mind, can I ask, what are your top 10 (or top 7) favorite media (can be books/ manga/ anime/movies/tv series/video games)? Why do you love them? Sorry if you've answered this question before......Thanks....

whaaa that's such a fun question, thank you so much for asking!!!!!!

hmmm, since I'm a very terrible person with deciding things, would you mind if I give you top 5 mangas and top 5 books?? I feel like focusing on them, it will be easier for me and I'll be able to talk more about them!!

ok so in no particular order, here are my:

top 5 mangas

ikoku nikki, by tomoko yamashita

I think I fell in love with this manga the second I start to read. it's just incredibly well written, with beautiful characters that are well developed and well explored. yamashita is one of my favorite authors of all time, so I could go on and on about how much I love her writing.

it's a beautiful story about personal connections, grief and future!

shimanami tasogare, by yuuki kamatani

this story is a safe space for me. not only because I love the way it's written and the way it's developed, but it was a huge help for me in my process of self discovering and acceptance of my demissexuality. I will forever be grateful for what this story brought me and all the tears I shed reading it

skip to loafer, by misaki tamakatsu

I think it's already obvious that sukirofa would be on the list OIFJASOJF. I just think it's a gorgeous story that focus a lot on self discovery, growing up and platonic love. I absolute love the "I love you as a person" message that it evoques. I wish there was a story like this when I was a teenager...

haikyuu!!, by haruichi furudate

haikyuu have a deep, deep place in my heart and it's a story I will cary with me forever. it's one of the reasons why I came back to the internet to share thoughts and one of the reasons why I made so many beautiful friends, but also it changed me for the better and it was with me on difficult times. everyone should read it, tbh.

blue period, by tsubasa yamaguchi

one of the reasons why blue period is so important to me is because yatora is a character that resonates A LOT with me. reading it for the first time was like being punched on the face multiple times because I saw a lot of me on it and a lot of my struggles and self doubts. yatora will forever be a character that is extremely important to me.

bonus: "I want to be a wall", by honami shirono and "hibari no asa", by tomoko yamashita

top 5 books

the white book, by Han kang

han kang is one of my favorite authors. I absolute love her writing and, as a writer myself, she inspires me a lot. I find this book to be absolute gorgeous. never in my life I read something that talks about grief and loneliness such as this book. gorgeous, from beginning to end.

the bell jar, by sylvia plath

this book was very important for me growing up. I feel that I picked it up at the right moment of my life and it just stayed with me forever. the fig scene is something that I think about constantly and reflect a lot on it. I feel that I should reread it now that I'm way older.

meu desconhecimentos, by eliane brum

i'm so sorry to say, but I don't think this book was ever translated to english...but I would love to talk about it a little. it was first introduced to me by my therapist and it stayed with me since the moment I started reading it. I resonate a lot with eliane's trajectory with writing and she inspire me a lot too.

the unwomanly face of war, by svetlana alexievich

this book is non fictional and it covers the soviet women who fought on WWII. this book impacted me so much that I still remember vividly scenes from it. it's not an easy book to read and it's extremely graphic, but it definitely left a mark on me.

the good son, by you-jeong jeong 

I wouldn't say this book is one of my favorites of all time, but I doo catch myself recommending it A LOT, so it would be weird not to include here. it's a great, great narrative with a highly unreliable narrator that manages to convince you from beginning to end. it's not an easy read as well, since it's a very slow one and can be repetitive.

WELL!!! I think that's it?? idk I feel like every time someone asks me about my favorite something my mind goes blank OIFJASIOJF but I hope I was able to answer your question 💛 thank you for asking!!

— Red (Taylor's Version) my favorite <3

— the lyrics picked were the ones that made me think of her/her relationships/her plot.

︵࣪⏜ꪻ𖡼̸֢֢࣪᭡࿔︵࣪

State Of Grace: "Love is a ruthless game";

Red: "Memorizing him was as easy as knowing all the words to your old favorite song, fighting with him was like trying to solve a crossword and realizing there's no right answer";

Treacherous: "This hope is treacherous, this daydream is dangerous";

I Knew You Were Trouble: "And the saddest fear comes creeping in, that you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything";

All Too Well: "I'd like to be my old self again but I'm still trying to find it";

22: "End up dreaming instead of sleeping";

I Almost Do: "I bet you're sittin' in your chair by the window, looking out at the city and I hope sometimes you wonder about me";

We Are Never Getting Back Together: "I used to think that we were forever ever, and I used to say never say never";

Stay Stay Stay: "And I'll be loving you for quite some time";

The Last Time: all of it | "This is the last time I'm asking you this: put my name at the top of your list. This is the last time I'm asking you why you break my heart in the blink of an eye";

Holy Ground: "And the story's got dust on every page";

Sad Beautiful Tragic: "Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting; silence, the train runs off its tracks. Kiss me, try to fix it, could you just try to listen? Hang up, give up, and for the life of us we can't get back." but also every other lyric

The Lucky One: "And they tell you that you're lucky, but you're so confused, 'cause you don't feel pretty, you just feel used";

Everything Has Changed: "All I know is pouring rain and everything has changed";

Starlight: "Look at you, worrying too much about things you can't change";

Begin Again: grrm would cut off his arm before giving her peace, that's not her song;

The Moment I knew (you can find me eating glass in a corner): "What do you say when tears are streaming down your face in front of everyone you know? And what do you do when the one who means the most to you is the one who didn't show?"

Come Back... Be Here: "The delicate beginning rush, the feeling you can know so much without knowing anything at all, and now that I can put this down. If I had known what I know now, I never would've played so nonchalant";

Girl At Home: that's R/L song (bad as the ship tbh)

Better Man: "I know I'm probably better off all alone than needing a man who could change his mind at any given minute";

Nothing New: "Criticize the way you fly, when you're soaring through the sky; shoot you down and then they sigh and say, 'She looks like she's been through it'" + "How can a person know everything at eighteen but nothing at twenty two?"

Babe: "We ain't getting through this one, babe";

Message In a Bottle: "But now you're so far away and I'm down, feeling like a face in the crowd";

I Bet You Think About Me: "Now you're out in the world, searching for your soul; scared not to be hip, scared to get old. Chasing make-believe status, last time you felt free was when none of that shit mattered 'cause you were with me." (omg rhaelia hii)

Run: "There's been this hole in my heart, this thing was a shot in the dark";

The Very First Night: "I wish I could fly, I'd pick you up and we'd go back in time";

All Too Well (10 Minute Version): "And I was thinking on the drive down 'Any time now, he’s gonna say it’s love'. You never called it what it was. 'Til we were dead and gone and buried, check the pulse and come back swearing it’s the same, after 3 months in the grave. And then you wondered where it went to as I reached for you but all I felt was shame and you held my lifeless frame".

Cat Ranks Every ML Episode For the Third Time (S1-S5)

 Why I keep doing this to myself, we may never know. But I think it’s fun to see how episodes hold up over time in my mind. Which ones lose their luster and which ones hold their own. Anyway, this is broken up into tiers because rating them is hard and makes things complicated. This list is about vibes, okay? And if you don’t like where I’ve ranked some of these episodes, too bad. Go make your own fucking list. This one is mine. 

S Tier aka “SUBLIME!”

The creams of the crop, the best of the best according to me, my all time favorites, chef’s kisses all around. I love all of these episodes. They hold special places in my heart. If I could only grab 10 (11?) episodes in a fire, these would be it. You get the idea. 

1.     Riposte

Over time, I have come to accept that the umbrella scene clouds my judgment in ranking Origins II so high year after year. Don’t get me wrong, Origins II is still in my top 5, but I’ve finally embraced the fact that Riposte is my favorite episode. It’s just top tier Ladrien, and Kagami was and is such a treat and a wonderful addition to the cast. If this episode is ever on, I will always stop what I’m doing to watch it. Just immaculate vibes.

2.     Protection

If you followed me at all during s5, you should have seen this coming. I talk about this episode a lot as my stand out of s5, and honestly, I will probably talk about it for a while longer yet. It’s like the opposite of Riposte in a way, but also in the best way. The entirety of the pajama picnic set-up was the absolute sweetest thing anyone has ever done for anyone ever, and you cannot convince me otherwise.

3.     Emotion

Honestly, this episode surprised me with how much it sticks out in my mind. Other than thinking we should have had this episode sooner (or just Felix’s return sooner), I can say that the episode itself is very good. We finally get to see Felix’s motives/intentions come out. We get the sweet Adrigaminette we always crave. Gabriel doesn’t exist for like five minutes. Marinette gives a heartfelt speech about Adrien. Honestly, this episode slaps, and I will not deny it.

4.     Origins II

Okay, okay, look how she has fallen from grace. I still have a lot of love for this episode, and the umbrella scene will forever be #1 in my heart. But I have finally allowed myself to see past my umbrella scene blinders and realize that the episode itself outside of that scene is fine. It’s just fine. Take out the umbrella scene, and I’d rank this episode in like the upper middle probably. But since the umbrella scene is there, she’s still top 5 for me.

5.     Gorizilla

This episode hits a sweet jackpot for me because it’s primarily Adrinette and Ladrien, and I don’t know if I will ever score this much again in this show. It has my favorite Ladrien moment of all time. Definitely a top 10 overall moment for this show for me.

6.     Simon Says

I feel like at this point you all should just know that if it has Adrinette or Ladrien, I’m going to love it. That’s just the rules. Also, Gabriel almost died in this episode, and what a blessing that would have been for all of us.

7.     Strike Back

Best season finale by far. By faaaaaar. Like if I had to rank the season finales, and I did, I’d put this one at the top.

8.     Chat Blanc

This one has moved up for me. If any of you recall the last two rankings I did a few years ago, this one sat in the teens, but I think as time has gone on, my initial intrigue for other episodes has diminished, but this one has stayed solid. I hope that post-reveal love square is doing alright in this universe. I hope they beat up Adrien’s dad and sent him to jail, then went home and made out in Gabriel’s stupid butterfly cave.

9.     Evillustrator

The OG MariChat. I’ve said before that I started this fandom primarily as a MariChat stan until I watched the umbrella scene, then Adrinette took over my life. Evillustrator was why. Nathaniel was just okay in this episode, he gives nice guy vibes, but Idk I enjoyed the MariChat interactions, and while they’ve certainly come a long way since then, I still appreciate the nostalgia of seeing their first interaction knowing how far they go down the line. This episode coupled with those memories knowing what I know now about them just makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

10.  Stormy Weather  

This is another one for the nostalgia books. Stormy Weather was baby’s first Miraculous episode. Does the nostalgia I hold cloud my judgment at ranking this one so high in compared to the other bangers underneath it? Yeah, probably. But I can’t bring myself to rank it lower. It’s still one of my favorite s1 episodes because I think it’s just a good introduction to the show. All of the dynamics are in peak form, and Stormy Weather is just peak akuma design imo. Sue me.

11.  Oblivio

Oblivio might be outside my top 10, but when I was originally ranking these again, I used a tier maker list, and Oblivio is the last one in S tier for me. I feel like it’s self-explanatory though. This episode was that bitch in s3 right next to Chat Blanc. I just couldn’t put it in A tier. 

Okay, so I think for most of the middle I’m gonna skip all of the preamble, but I might give a comment here or there about why certain episodes are where they are.

A Tier aka “We love to see them”

Overall, these episodes are great, and I love them. They’re not quite the crème de la crème, but they’re still good.

12.  Glaciator

It’s the LadyNoir cheek kiss for me.

13.  Elation

Self-explanatory. I don’t hate MariChat, guys! I like them!

14.  Revolution

This episode honestly surprised me, but tbh I really liked it. A lot of shit happened, and most of it was incredible.

15.  Mr. Pigeon 72

Having canon confirmation that Adrien had a crush on Marinette in this episode just makes it better.

16.  Dark Cupid

The KISS

17.  Despair Bear

Adrinette slow dancing uwu

18.  Glaciator 2

MariChat shenanigans and also LadyNoir communication. This episode set up a loooot of what we got in s5 from the love square

19.  Risk

Adrien confiding in Marinette got me weak

20.  Volpina

Honestly, this season finale gagged me when I first watched it, and the fandom was exploding with intrigue. No other finale has sparked so much discussion, fan theory, and excitement as this one.

21.  Kwamibuster

I’m a Marinette stan, what are you gonna do?

22.  Mayura

What do you mean Adrien wasn’t in love with Marinette until the end of s3???

23.  New York Special

Adrien and Marinette are two halves of a whole idiot, thanks for coming to my TedTalk

24.  Deflagration

LADRIEN CRUMB IN THIS ECONOMY??

25.  Time Tagger

Alix is my favorite classmate

26.  Gamer

The lucky charm!!!!!!

27.  Lady Wifi

Chat Noir closed the door like a gentleman

28.  Gang of Secrets

This episode revived my faith in this show

29.  The Collector

Started s2 strong

30.  Origins I

Where I’d likely rank Origins II as well if it weren’t for the umbrella scene. They’re good episodes.

31.  Heart Hunter

Honestly, this is here mostly because of the Adrigaminette. Actually, it’s entirely here because of them.

32.  Determination

He’s in love your honor

33.  Sandboy

I just think he’s neat, and everyone’s nightmares were hilarious

34.  Evolution

Again, I love Alix Kubdel, and watching Hawkmoth nearly kill his own ass out of greed and stupidity was amazing.

35.  Backwarder

I’m a Fu stan. I miss him.

B Tier aka “Always a good time”

I have less to say about these. They’re good, and I like them. They just don’t have the wow-factor to make them stand out in my brain. Or they have something about them that prevents me from ranking them higher.

36.  The Mime

37.  Frightningale

38.  Passion

39.  Gabriel Agreste

40.  Style Queen

41.  Transmission

I would have ranked this one higher if it weren’t for the B plot of this arc (aka Scarabella and Kitty Noire). If it was focused on the Adrinette, I would have shot this episode up way higher, but overall, this episode wasn’t as good as part 2 of this arc. The fight was boring, and them giving up their Miraculous still doesn’t make the most sense or even leave a lasting impact. It felt like filler bc they needed something to go around the Adrinette development.

42.  Startrain

43.  Kuro Neko

44.  Jubilation

45.  Prime Queen

46.  Christmaster

47.  Ikari Gozen

48.  Oni-Chan

49.  Felix

50.  Multiplication

51.  Furious Fu

52.  Catalyst

53.  Psychomedian

54.  Miraculer

55.  Timebreaker

56.  Copycat

57.  The Dark Owl

58.  Mr. Pigeon

59.  Sapotis

60.  Zombizou

61.  Syren

62.  Pretension

63.  Derision

64.  Ephemeral

65.  Animan

66.  Confrontation

67.  The Puppeteer

C Tier aka “These are fine”

These episodes likely have aspects that I really enjoy and aspects that I don’t particularly care for. In the end, the good and the bad end up balancing out, so these live here.

68.  Perfection

69.  Reverser

70.  Optigami

71.  Gamer 2.0

72.  Befana

73.  Troublemaker

74.  Revelation

75.  Party Crasher

76.  Collusion

77.  Ladybug

78.  Reflekta

79.  Lies

80.  Weredad

81.  Sentibubbler

82.  Illusion

83.  Intuition

84.  Anansi

85.  Darkblade

86.  The Bubbler

87.  The Pharaoh

88.  Kung Food

89.  Pixelator

90.  Rogercop

91.  Guitar Villain

92.  Princess Fragrance

93.  Gigantitan

94.  Antibug

If anyone remembers from my first ranking (and maybe second), this episode used to be in the bottom 10, but I’ve softened on it over time. The LadyNoir partnership in it is just too good, and Chloe has disappointed me in worse ways since this.

95.  Desperada

96.  The Puppeteer 2

97.  Representation

98.  Adoration

They really robbed Marinette of her confession moment. We’ve been waiting 4.5 seasons for that, and that’s what we got? Lowest Adrinette moment of the season tbh

99.  Robostus

100. Reflekdoll

101. Sole Crusher

102. Destruction

108.  Reunion

109. Horrificator

D Tier for “Dumb”

Now we are getting into the territory of boring or just generally bad, or things that I don’t care about. These are episodes that I don’t have a desire to rewatch, and will likely always skip unless I’m just in a really particular mood.

112.  Conformation

113. Santa Claws

114.  Simpleman

115.  Truth

116.  Queen Banana

117.  Migration

118.  Malediktator

119.  Mega Leech

120.  Crocoduel

121.  Bakerix

E Tier aka “Awful”

We have reached the bottom 10. I have them in two tiers because some of these episodes are worse than others, or my reasons for hating them are worse than others.

122. Captain Hardrock

This episode isn’t so much about the episode itself, but more about the fandom reaction and pushback I received for daring to be indifferent to it when it came out. I will never forget Birthdaygate, you sons of bitches. I hope you enjoy your cringe lord campfire guitar boy in all of his mediocre glory. If it weren’t for the stans, I’d likely have put this one in the bottom middle somewhere. I was and still am indifferent to it. 

123. Frozer

Stemming from birthdaygate, I just didn’t care for this episode as a whole. The double-date, the pitting girls against each other for a boy, the contrived LadyNoir conflict. The ice powerup is cool, I guess.

124.  Animaestro

I still cannot believe that Thomas inserted himself into this universe with his whole confident chest just to bitch and complain about how underappreciated he feels while working on this show. Like, sir, get a therapist.

125.  Stormy Weather 2

Arguably, this episode isn’t terrible. It’s just not necessary imo. It’s just a clipshow recapping the previous 2.5 seasons of info, and for someone who has been following this show the whole time, it’s just redundant and doesn’t add much. It could have been redeemed if Adrien had rubbed his braincells together a little harder at the end, but alas, we left with net-zero development.

126.  Chameleon

I feel like anyone that knows me, knows my feelings about this episode by now. I mean, I wrote *checks AO3* 160,000 words across various fics because of this episode because everyone in it is struck dumb with an idiot ray, and I just could not. I’ve cooled off a lot on this episode, but not enough to rank it out of the bottom 10.

127.   Queen Wasp

So, while I enjoyed Style Queen and found Malediktator meh, Queen Wasp is the sour middle of this trio arc. I have many more thoughts on Chloe’s character throughout the show, and maybe I’ll talk about them more later, but they spent several episodes in s2 trying to make Chloe sympathetic, then this episode happened, and in some regards, you can still argue her mom sucks, and she’s just a young girl, blah, blah. However, I don’t see a reason why she got her Miraculous back after this. If it were up to me, I’d have brought in Zoe after this arc and made her the new bee as far back as s2 because Chloe did not deserve her moment in the s2 finale after this. And I was rooting for Queen Bee to happen back in s2. A lot of people were. But again, as I mentioned in my s5 episode ranking post, I think the writers just realized around this time that it was more plot convenient for Chloe to be mean. I think having her be a hero was just to sell merchandise, and maybe they did play around with the idea of redeeming her, but when they started thinking about where to take things, it served the plot better for her to be mean. So, that’s what they went with. Which is sad, because I do think they could have given her more potential, but I mean, we’ve all watched the episodes after this one. Choices were made.

F Tier aka “Why?”

These are episodes that make me irrationally angry when I think about them for too long.

128.  Miracle Queen

I will attempt to not be too wordy on these last 4, and especially this episode, I feel like I’ve voiced my opinion on it numerous times. If Queen Wasp bought the wood to make Chloe’s character coffin in s2, Miracle Queen was the finished product. And don’t get me started on Fu.

129.  Feast

In my other two rankings this episode used to be my least favorite because HOW COULD THEY DO MY BOY FU LIKE THAT? Honestly, I feel like his mistake was a plotline that they started, realized they didn’t have room to explore, so they just threw something together to cut it off. I think that’s also why they made Fu lose his memories in the s3 finale, then replaced him with a worse knock-off in s4 just to avoid elaborating on it all together. They knew what they did. People have (incorrect) opinions on Fu as a mentor to Marinette, but are we really gonna sit here and act like Su Han is a better one? Is anyone willing to tell me with their full chest that Su Han is a good character? Or a better character than Fu? You can’t. And if you think you can, you’re a liar. Idk, the LadyNoir shenanigans redeem this episode a little bit, but I have not forgiven them.

130. Re-Creation

I have a lot of mixed feelings about this finale. As an end to the Agreste arc, it doesn’t feel satisfying at all (to me). I think my feelings for this episode are going to have to marinate over the next season and see what they end up doing with it. What does Gabriel’s brave new world look like? What are the after-effects of his wish? I just think that overall, it’s a weird choice to let the villain get what he wants and paint it as a good thing. Because we’ve spent the whole show rooting for Ladybug and Chat Noir, the heroes, but in the end, you just let them lose? You let the bad guy make his wish? Just because it was about a main character’s mommy? Yall couldn’t think of any other alternative? Like idk, making Gabriel go to therapy and move the fuck on? Yall spent all this time on GabeNath in prior seasons, and even made a point to show that Adrien was fine with it. Then yall didn’t do anything with that? No?

I dunno. I’m not mad about Lilamoth bc we all saw that coming, and I don’t even know that I’m entirely mad at this episode. I honestly, don’t know how to feel about it. I do know that I would not have ended it that way, if it were me, and I stand by it not being a good ending. It maybe doesn’t infuriate me like s3 did, but overall, I just don’t think it wrapped up s5 and the Agreste plotline very well at all. And again, s6 maybe continue to tie up loose ends, or it may move on and pretend the ends aren’t loose at all. You never know with ML.

131.  Wishmaker

Okay, so this one has lost favor in retrospect given the follow-up in s5. I wasn’t as pissed at the time that this episode aired because I told myself to wait and see what happened. Well, we saw what happened, and BOY! Like, am I secretly pleased they wrote in a reason to write blue boy out of the show for a while, sure, but can we just revisit the fact that he LIED TO HER FACE about the biggest secret she has. The secret she dumped him over? She trusted him, and he turned around and LIED to her about it, then in s5 he doesn’t even get punished for it. “Oh, but he has to leave-” and who does that punish? His annoying stans? He went and traveled the world with his dad and ended up learning Mirakungfu, and Marinette wasn’t even mad at him for LYING TO HER FACE about blowing her BIGGEST FUCKING SECRET. Blue boy stans can miss me. I wasn’t sorry to see him leave, and he deserved way more pushback than he got. Glad to know lying is only bad when it’s a young girl looking for attention and not when your ex-boyfriend crosses your boundaries and then lies about it.

Anyway, I’m gonna leave it at that because I’m getting too heated. So, there you go to the 4 whole people who will read all of this. As always, if you disagree with the ranking, uhh spend 4 days making your own damn tier list. If you agree with my rankings and want to gush/vent about it, feel free to send me an ask. Additionally, if you’d like the reasoning behind any of the episodes I didn’t comment on or just want me to elaborate on, feel free to ask about those too. Or don’t. I dunno. Live your life.

Hey there! May I request number #14 on the angst list for Kazuha? Thank you!

Hi! Tysm for requesting! I hope you enjoy :))

Kazuha x reader

Prompt: "You taught me how to love."

Warnings: Angst, Breakups.

Overview: Inazuma wasn't the only thing Kazuha was leaving behind.

Pronouns: No specified pronouns <3

The sunset kissed the lands of Inazuma, illuminating the water and bouncing off the wood from the docks. The sound of the waves crashing down gently mixed with the distant chatter of the crew boarding the boat.

At the end of the dock, sat two lovers. Their feet dangling off the side, their feet inches away from touching the cold waters beneath them.

The moment was bittersweet. The last time the two would ever be able to indulge in each other. The last time you would ever be able to love Kaedehara Kazuha.

"Kazuha, will you return?" Your eyes didn't meet his, they stayed focused on the setting sun across the horizon. Your heart was filled with searing pain, one that you knew would slowly erode with time. However, at that moment, you allowed yourself to become one with that pain.

"As long as the wind blows, my heart will forever be yours." His smooth voice filled your eardrums, only worsening the ache in your heart.

His words would have been sweet if it wasn't for the given situation. Normally, his words would reassure you that he loved and cared for you.

However, you knew that his words had a different meaning now. Instead of that reassurance, he was telling you that even though he will never return to Inazuma, Kazuha would always love you, no matter how many years pass.

You smiled at the sun, your head falling to meet your lover's shoulder, his head leaning to rest on top of yours. You both sat in a comfortable silence as the last remaining crewmates boarded the ship.

"Kazuha! Anchors coming up in 10 minutes!" Beidou, the captain of the Crux Fleet yelled from aboard the ship. You felt him sigh as you slowly disconnected himself from you, standing and holding his hand out to you.

You took his hand, standing along with him. You brushed out the creases on your clothing before looking back up to meet your lover's worried gaze.

"Will you stay safe for me?" His hair was gently lifted by the wind as it ruffled through his clothing. He looked absolutely angelic as his face was kissed by the last rays of sunlight.

"Only if you promise to do the same." You replied, watching a gentle smile flood his features. His eyes lit up with adoration as you gently leaned his forehead to connect with yours, his eyes closing along with yours.

"Thank you." Your brows creased in confusion at his words, lifting your hand up to cup his chick. Your eyes opening to meet his.

"For what?" Your voice cracked as you swallowed the lump in your throat. You held back the tears that threatened to fall from your eyes. He lifted his hand to cup your cheek, his thumb gently caressing the skin.

"You taught me how to love, and for that, I am forever grateful for the time I spent being yours." He wiped the tears that began to fall down your cheeks and pressed a soft kiss on your forehead.

You choked out a sob, pulling him into your embrace. He immediately hugged back, hiding his face in your shoulder as he tightened his grip on you.

After a few moments, you both pulled away, wiping each other's tears away before you stepped back from him.

"Come visit sometime alright?" You took gently punched his shoulder, both of you chuckling as he slowly walked away from you.

You watched him board the ship, the anchor slowly coming up from the seabed. You stood at the end of the dock, watching the ship slowly leave.

However before he could get too far away, you yelled out to him.

"Will you keep your promise to stay safe for me?" You shouted, watching his body spin around to meet you, a smile etched across his features as you watched him nod and lift his hand to wave.

You waved back, tears falling freely from your eyes as you watched him slowly disappear into the sunset.

"Goodbye, Kaedehara Kazuha." You whispered into the wind, hoping the sea carried it to him.

Note: I hope you liked it, its kinda short but im having a bit of a mind-blank for that so sorry about that.

This is unedited.

Top 15 Vmin moments 2021

I might not have had the best year personally, but Vmin for sure had some great moments this year and as we move into 2022 I would like to celebrate the year that has gone. I’ve chosen 15 favorite moments of mine, but I am sure I’ve missed many and some I couldn’t find gifs/photos of that worked (like Tae having Jimin on a leash). Feel free to add your own favorite moments in reblogs and share your own favorite Vmin moments of 2021! :)

There are a lot of moments that I would have loved to include that didn’t make it... But a few of the honorable mentions include:

But now let’s get to the actual top 15! Let’s do a countdown!

15. Vmin in Permission to Dance

I know it’s an MV and I know it’s all in my head, but I just can’t stop thinking about the Brokeback mountain couple. Vmin as gay cowboy dad’s is something I will treasure for a long time. (I also loved the behind the scene moments).

14. “My love”

It’s not really anything new, and maybe I am still on a high from this moment since it just happend like two days ago. But Jimin tweeting and using MY and LOVE about Taehyung was just so lovely. They really are each other’s person. I am also weak for when Jimin uses TaeTae so seeing it again was wonderful. 

13. Jimin’s cold hand Run ep. 135

I don’t know why, but Tae feeling Jimin’s cold hand just did something to me... I know this is a tiny moment, but I just personally found it so sweet. And of course also the way Tae kept being suspicious of Jimin during the episode and couldn’t let go of Jimin’s suspiciously cold hands.

12. Vmin in Run 127

Ok, so I know there was a loooot of Vmin from Run episodes this year, and honestly ranking them was incredibly difficult. But Vmin being total soulmates in ep 127 had to be on this list.

11. The Coway ads

Pairing Vmin together in commercials is just a winning concept. And them looking like domestic husbands in the Coway ad was a real blessing.

10. Taehyung’s using “Blue mold/Penicillin-shi” for Jimin’s contact name

It’s not a big moment, but it’s one of those things I don’t think I’ll ever let go of. Just the fact that Taehyung has a unique name for Jimin compared to all members is cute on it’s own. But then he uses Blue mold, which is from Jimin’s song and which has been explained to mean “my savior”. And that he also designed matching phone cases for him and Jimin years ago where Jimin’s said blue mold. Let me cry about this forever, it’s too cute for words.

9. Vmin in Run in the Joseon Dynasty (Ep. 145-147)

I could once again pick out a few moment from these episodes alone (like Jimin being suspicious of Tae, or Tae getting hurt when they don’t believe him and Jimin getting him a hug), but I just have to pick their roleplay of Tae first giving the flowers to Jimin and then Jimin helping Tae to “shave”. It was just very Vmin, very funny and also very cute.

8. Vmin in Run ep. 130

The tennis episode gave us a lift and spin hug, a bridal carry and mouth to mouth roleplay. How could I not include it?

7. The hand kiss

Honestly, this is one of those few times we got something new from Vmin. And it’s so cute, and it just happened so easily. The way Tae once again interrupted a high five between Jimin and Hobi and the way Jimin just took his hand and kissed it like he was endeared and it was the most normal thing it the world.

6. Vmin in Run 140-141/Crossover with Na PD's The Game Caterers

They were just having so much fun here! They were clingy, they defended each other’s character and over all I just got to see a lot of Vmin being happy together. It’s once again difficult to just pick one moment, but them jumping around and then Jimin trying to stop Tae from moving just made my heart soar. (Just look at their smiles!)

5. BAK BAK in Run 150

Ok, so... I know it’s not anything suspicious about Tae accidentally saying “Jimin doggystyle”, but it was still hilarious. And the whole episode was just full of cute Vmin. I think BAK BAK will be one of those Vmin moments that stay for a long time and might even become something of a meme or inside joke. Also, the way Tae noticed Jimin being bummed out for being last and lifting him from the floor.  😭

4. Taehyung making food for sleeping Jimin in ITS

ITS gave us a few really nice Vmin moments (like the casual hair pull for one), but my personal favorite was a moment that was just so domestic and sweet it deserves to be on this list. Taehyung who begged others to make food for him because he is bad at it, going out of his way to bring Jimin breakfast directly to his room. Honestly, Vmin are such husbands sometimes.

3. Vmin in LA

I know this is probably cheating, but how else do you expect me to be able to choose? Vmin did so much in LA I just can’t pick out a few moments without this list filling up with just moments from one week. But a few of the highlights include:

The Vmin hug during My Universe in PTD LA concert

Of course there are plenty of moments to choose from the concert (like their struggle to hold hands during Fake Love as one great example), but I think most of us agree this cute hug as they jump towards each other as they sing “you, you are my universe” will have a special place in our hearts for a long time.

Taehyung’s comment on Jimin’s thighs. Also the way Tae just needs to praise Jimin, and the thumbs up... This moment killed me.

Vmin during the AMAs (so many moments, what a day it was). SO DAMN SWEET! Jimin leaning on Tae’s shoulder.

Vmin behind the scenes while filming with James Corden. The way they couldn’t stop touching. Aaah, I just wish I had these moments in better quality.

Thank you LA Vmin for providing us with so many moments we didn’t know what to do with them. (Also does anyone know who made this collage? Because I’ve seen it everywhere on twitter but not with credits.)

2. The Vmin vlive

I know it happened in LA, but I just had to give it a spot of it’s own. I mean, we got a VMIN VLIVE!!! For the first time since 2016! (Unless you count the Yeontan Vlive I guess, which I really should, but anyways...) This was a big deal and it just felt like it came out of nowhere! They were so sweet and awkward and I could literally watch hours of them like this. 💜😭😭

I in particular really loved the reaction from Jimin when Tae hits his head on the lamp, and how the petname “Teddy bear” just slipped out. 💜

So, if the Vlive was number 2, then I think you all know what is coming for number 1. This year really started of with a bang, and one of the best and most iconic Vmin moments ever.

1. Vmin during Let’s BTS

This whole show was just filled with Vmin moment after moment. I just can’t get over it and the fact that I wrote a very long analysis post on the whole show says quite a lot (Let’s BTS - Vmin analysis). Obviously if I had to pick just one part it would be “Jimin-ah, I like you the most“. Like, how did we move on from this? So sweet, Taehyung choosing Jimin out as special (once again) amongst the members and Jimin’s reaction and how shy he got. Honestly, this is one of those shows that every Vminie needs to watch!

2021 was such an amazing year for us Vminies, and I hope 2022 will bring a lot more. I also wish joy and a wonderful year to all of my readers. I purple you. Happy New Year!

100 Follower Event!

Event Closed

Welcome to my 100 follower event! *blows noisemakers* So since I got the last few followers faster than I expected, I figured I’d run my event like I’ve been doing everything else on tumblr, by winging it recklessly!

Ace: Pretty sure you actually planned this, besides, isn’t reckless shit what we do? *gestures to him, Sabo, and Luffy*

Hush you! So without further adieu, my 100 follower event! *pulls string on banner to unfurl it revealing the words ‘Guardian Event’*

The event is simple, it was based off my Luffy Guardian Angel fic. Pick a type of Guardian from the list 

Angel

Demon

Spirit

Ancestor

House Gremlin

Other (give me an idea or guardian mythology)

Pick what kind of fic you want it to be (Fluff, Angst, or NSFW). 

Pick a prompt (or two if you do so wish) from the prompt list below:

Multi-type prompts, pick from Fluff, Angst, or NSFW

“Your heart is beating so fast right now.”

“Stop looking at me like that.”

“You’re making me lose my mind.”

“I don’t get it, I really don’t get you.”

“Wait, are you sure?”

Fluff

“Have you ever felt like this before?”

“Can you stay with me?”

“Do you believe in soulmates?”

“Can I see your beautiful smile?”

“Please, can this moment last forever?”

“Can you feel my heart beating?”

“One kiss is never enough”

“I cannot find the words to describe how I feel about you.”

“You can always talk to me, I will always be here for you.” 

“I’ve missed you so much.”

Angst prompts

“Do you love me?”

“Is it worth it?”

“Why are you lying?”

“When did it all go wrong?”

“How is any of this okay?”

“Do you care at all?”

“Have you ever actually thought about how I would feel about this?”

“I’m glad I finally get to see who you really are.”

“Please, don’t make this worse than it already is.”

“Please, don’t leave me alone.”

NSFW Prompts

“I want to please you.”

“I want to mark you, so everyone can see how I feel about you.”

“Your eyes are saying yes, now I just need your mouth to tell me the same.”

“I can’t ever seem to get enough of you.”

“I told you, you would eventually start begging.”

“If you don’t use your words how will I know what you want?”

“This is all for you so just relax and let me take care of you.”

“You like it when I pull your hair hard like that? You like it when I make you feel like that’s all you're good for?”

“I know you can take more”

“Why are you wearing that? Oh god, no, you need to go change.” “Why? Because all you really want is to bend me over the counter and-.”

Then let me know some about what you want. For example, do you want a platonic Guardian Corazon x Law fluff fic? A Guardian reader x Yamato angst? Or maybe a Guardian Sabo x reader! A few extra rules on top of my normal rules for this event. NSFW will not be written for Guardian Spirits or Guardian Ancestors for a list of reasons. Any requests for One Piece characters to be Guardians (Outside of dead characters like Corazon, obviously) will be modern or non-canon AU or you can specifically ask for modern or non-canon AU. Please state the preferred gender, especially for NSFW, I can use gender neutral for fluff or angst, but if you want smut, I need body parts. 

Finally wait 7-10 business days for said fic to be posted. 

Marco: I think you mean a couple of days depending on the number of requests-yoi.

A couple of days, depending on the number of requests! Enjoy and thanks for following me!

Oh! One last thing! You’re allowed to send in more than one request! I don’t mind!

SU Music Rankings

Bc I can and I wanna start some Disk Horse rip. These are all in order of preference, with explanations, etc. It’s a long bitch. That said, I’m not counting little short jingles or small joke songs like Little Butler. This is the meat and potatoes of SU music- just under 30 songs. I might do the rest if people like my takes lol.

I scored it mostly on three bases- how dear it was to my heart, how much/often I relisten to it, and also what it means to the plot. That said, little fun songs don’t automatically go farther down than big, plot-heavy songs either! It’s a strange little balance.

Special Note: I don’t dislike any of this music! I love SU and that includes its bumps and glitches. I just pick favorite children lol.

1.) Change

Was there ever a more Steven moment than when he wiped the blood off his face and kissed it into sparkles? I think not. 

If “Be Wherever You Are” is an ode to young Steven, then this is teen Steven’s. Talking about change, and how much and how little it can do. How he holds his arms up for Spinel to hug him, so trusting. How he seems able to just. Break into soft tears at will, and not to be manipulative- it’s just his kind nature. The warmth in his voice. Fuck yesssss.

2.) Change Your Mind

This song is only fifty five seconds and it’s EVERYTHING to me. It really felt like someone was speaking the words I’d always held deep inside of me, unsure of how to say. It feels like a goodbye to someone who never really loved me. 

As much as I enjoyed Future, if this was the finale of SU, I would’ve been perfectly okay with that.

3.) Drift Away

This song gave me legitimate shivers the first time I heard it, and it still haunts me to this day. Spinel stayed, and waited, and all she got was a transmission thousands of years later. Fuck.

4.) Here We Are In The Future

THE MOVIE IS SU AS ITS BEST AND I WON’T BE SWAYED ON IT. Steven being a teen who loves his weird family but is growing just a bit sarcastic to their drama. The adorable love he and Connie share. His slow realization that he will always be working, always have things to do, is both somber and real. The Crystal Gems won’t be safe with one epic battle. They’ll be safe with years of hard work and love. HIS LITTLE HANDSHAKE WITH AMETHYST.

This is a helluva bop and a great way to summarize the main character’s backstories.

5.) Let’s Only Think About Love

Did ya’ll know that Zach Callison killed his throat with that last note? He gave his all for this performance in a vocal range he no longer comfortably do and by god did it SHINE. The FLAIR. The FORESHADOWING. All of the Gems all being awkward about Rose and Steven trying to bring them to the present. Peridot having a mini-existential crisis in a cute yellow dress. I love Zach Callison’s normal singing voice but man is that a fucking bop. Nothing will ever beat it.

6.) Here Comes A Thought

This bad boy helped me out a LOT with some mental issues I was dealing with in high school. I was unmedicated, unsupervised, and full of anxiety. I’d have break downs when I tried to speak about certain things. I couldn’t function. This song inspired me. It helped me feel okay with my intrusive thoughts.

And the episode! -chef’s kiss-. Once again bringing up the morally gray area of training child soldiers. Connie expanding her social group. Steven’s trauma hauling ass in that second half. The ANIMATION. Stevonnie’s gorgeous singing voice. GOD yes.

7.) It’s Over Isn’t It?

Just barely squeaking above Stronger Than You, this ballad is everything gorgeous. The whole episode is. I think Mr. Greg stands in the top five of my episodes for the entire show. It even got nominated!

There’s just so much about this song that I love. The gentle melancholy of Pearl’s voice. How the crew had to redo the shots for this bit bc Deedee went so fucking hard. The hard cuts between Pearl, remembering the love of her life, and Steven, who has begun to feel like he took her away. I’d recommend this song to anyone, regardless of what they do or don’t know about SU, simply bc it tugs so many heartstrings of love, loss, and responsibility.

8.) Stronger Than You

Did you realize this episode aired SEVEN years ago? This bitch was what got me into SU! Hearing about Ruby and Sapphire made my little gay heart so happy inside, and then getting a whole song confirming that they were a couple, that their love powered the strongest Gem on the team? Aaaaaaaaa

To this DAY I get excited when I hear Estelle start singing. This song is timeless. This song will live in media history. God I fucking love this song.

9.) Other Friends

I’m not the biggest musical person, so I hadn’t heard of Sarah Stiles before her casting as Spinel, but JESUS CHRIST the lady went hard. She went SO fucking hard. Sarah Stiles started on 100 and somehow just kept CLIMBING. You can just hear the sheer manic energy building in her voice, the anger and resentment. 10/10 Sarah Stiles is a queen.

10.) Independent Together

This made the list entirely bc the crew was like “you’re gonna get a himbo ass Steven-Greg fusion singing with Opal while Garnet flies across the moon on Lion while floating” and I am forever thankful to them for it

11.) Who We Are

Bismuth deserved more songs. ‘Nuff said.

12.) Peace and Love (On the Planet Earth)

It Could’ve been Great is EASILY one of my favorite s2 episodes. I love the entire concept of this song. Of Steven making music to reflect how much Earth means to him and his family. Of him teaching Peridot some self-care. Also Peridot’s singing voice is really cute and squeaky. 

I know it’s silly, but I would’ve really enjoyed a flip around of this in Future! Like Peridot reminding Steven how much he loves music, that he needs to take time to relax for himself, maybe with a new verse or just a remix of the original song!

13.) Something Entirely New

I watched this episode as it aired, and I legitimately almost cried. I love Charlyne Yi’s voice so much ya’ll- her raspy, not perfect singing voice against Sapphire’s deep soothing lull is great.

And to have Ruby and Sapphire’s meeting be the way it was- for Ruby to bemoan Sapphire losing Homeworld, to being stuck with a single Ruby, while Sapphire is a noble who has always been taught everyone in her “caste” is vitally important (and has, in her own mind, taken that to mean every Gem, as she should) and how they come together and make each other happy. Good shit good shit.

14.) I’m Just a Comet

The fact that Greg’s music career never really blasted off pisses me off to this day bc Tom Scharpling’s voice is fucking BUTTER. Also the song really feels like a jab at his parents now that we know the kind of dynamic he had growing up. “This life in the stars if all I’ve ever known” is definitely him wiping away their existence after reminding them (and himself) the things they used to say about him.

15.) Do It For Her

This episode. This fucking episode. This episode got me permanently hooked on SU. I’d just binged season 1 and was kinda meh about it overall after the bop of Stronger Than You. “Oh,” I thought to myself, foolishly, “I’ll probably just casually watch this from time to time.”

Like three days later Sworn to the Sword aired and that was it. I was hooked! Pearl’s gentle training song turning darker and darker, Connie’s accompaniment from nervous to determined to fully into such a toxic mindset. The fact that SU had the BALLS to discuss the repercussions of training child soldiers, now and later. This episode was everything to me, STILL is everything to me.

Six years and well over 100 fanfics written later, I think it’s safe to say this show swallowed me whole and never let go.

16.) System/Boot.pearl_final(3)

I debated putting this on the list because it’s not anything crazy important, just a way to show things are Wrong, but I had to do it entirely bc Pearl is so damn SALTY.

Like telling us about the Gems makes sense, she felt like she was given a duty, but she went so damn petty. WHY is that Ruby alone. Gross. This Amethyst is a trash dump. Wtf are you people.

17.) Full Disclosure

This episode really feels like a turning point for SU. Before, the show had its dark moments- but now we’re in the thick of it, and it’s not going away. Full Disclosure felt like an rebuff to the idea of returning to any normal we’d established in season 1. Gems are actually a giant species now. Gems tried to kill us now. There’s this Yellow Diamond bitch who got namedropped. Something about a Cluster. 

The song itself is BALLER, with its ingenious use of Steven’s ringtone and photos as he tries to decide whether to clue in Connie on all this nonsense. Meanwhile we, the audience, already know damn well Connie about to yeet some common sense into him.

18.) What’s the Use of Feeling Blue?

I’mma admit it- I’m a Yellow Diamond stan. I’ve always loved her- her anger, her poise, her hardworking nature. I actively argued against the “Yellow Shattered Pink” theories back in the day. But, man, when this arc leaked? I got so overexcited I was too jittery to watch it for like two days. It’s easily my favorite arc of the series. The sheer alien nature of the zoo, the Famethyst, and absolutely Patti Lupone’s beautiful ballad. Goddamn. Yellow singing to Blue to try and help her regain her old status, the warble in her voice as she reminds Blue she misses Pink too, the movement of the bubbles as she talks about attack. It gives me shivers to this day. FUCK.

19.) Tower of Mistakes

This is, fun fact, that only SU song I have completely memorized. The story itself is kinda funny! See, we lost internet at my house for a solid 5 to 6 months when these episodes aired, so I only got a very brief window to view them all. But this was the first Amethyst song in a long while, and I didn’t want to forget it! So I keep replaying it in my head for ages. And that’s still definitely a thing.

Anyway will never not be sad that this entire song was about making it up to Garnet for Amethyst’s perceived slights with Sugilite (which was a two-way road), only for Garnet to pressure her into fusion later when pissed and never discuss it again bc Garnet probably never thought twice about it and Amethyst has the emotional openness of a clam that’s just been told its ugly. Helluva way to make someone feel like shit, G. Helluva way to bottle that shit, Ames.

20.) On the Run

I’ve said it once, I’ve said it a million times: Amethyst! Needed! More! Songs! 

The dichotomy between Steven’s play and Amethyst’s honest desire to run away from home is so well-done, especially when you consider a lot of Steven and Amethyst’s actions are playing together. The song is also near and dear to me simply bc it’s my favorite Amethyst episode to exist (well, maybe second to What’s Your Problem, but not by much). Moments like these are all the proof I need that they were right to fuse first.

21.) Be Wherever You Are

This tune really just feels like an ode to who Steven was as a kid. Trapped on an island with no way home, and he’s just happy to be with his friends. The stars are beautiful and not oppressive. Also that one animatic with Lars and the Off Colors playing in the Homeworld Kindergarten to this music was iconic and made this song get stuck in my head for a solid month.

22.) Familiar

I ADORE how the crew use bright neon colors to show how alien Homeworld can be. And Steven recognizing that the Diamonds treat him how the CGs used to, and how prepared he is to “fix” a broken family. It’s a soft, gentle tune about melancholy. Also the Pebbles are beautiful.

23.) Let Me Drive My Van Into Your Heart

Such a cute little love ballad, but every time I listen to it now I just imagine the heart attack Rose must’ve had at the line “And if we look out of place/Well, baby, that's okay/I'll drive us into outer space.” like there’s a Vietnam war flashback if I ever heard one

24.) What Can I Do?

I’m kind of neutral on this one? Rose and Greg both have great voices, but the song itself lacks many lyrics. I think it was definitely a good way to show Rose’s flaws in thinking.

Also, I’m shocked they managed cram that much vaguely sexual innuendo into two minutes, followed by how Not Hetereo that dance between Rose and Pearl was, and not get their asses chewed by it. You go guys.

25.) Cookie Cat

I love a lot of the vibes this song has. The lyrics are so damn prophetic, but they also sound like the kind of weird 90s commercials I grew up on. It’s been like two decades since I saw the Shirley Temple commercial but I’ll be damned if I don’t remember “Animals crackers in my soup! Monkey and rabbits loop-de-loop.”

26.) Giant Woman

I am. NOT the biggest fan of Steven’s original singing voice. I feel bad saying that, since it was just Zach Callison as a kid, but he never jived well with me for some reason. So I wouldn’t listen to this on the fly. 

The song itself is still really good though, with all sorts of fun animation of Amethyst and Pearl being bitchy to each other. It’s a bit sad in hindsight to see tiny Steven trying to get his moms to get along. Ahh, season 1.

27.) Strong in the Real Way

This song has SUCH a strong start. Pearl reflecting on Sugilite’s problems, but the show making sure to show us that Pearl’s lack of enthusiasm towards her also lends itself to jealousy as well as just general malaise. How much she cares about Steven, and wants him to grow up strong. 

And then Steven just kinda. Ruins it? I appreciate his enthusiasm for tryna bulk up but to take what was starting as such a rich, personal song and broadcasting it to random strangers just makes me a bit sad. Almost a bit angry on her behalf?

28.) That Distant Shore

I KNOW this is gonna create some discourse, but I’m just not the biggest Lapis stan. I love her voice. I love the visuals of the song. And I get why she felt afraid and needed to flee.

But Lapis never got to take responsibility for her own actions. And, in the end, the song feels hollow to me- because we all know she’ll never talk to anyone about it, know she’ll burst back in and destroy the barn, and no one will ever question it. I like Lapis a lot, but I feel like her arc never was fully finished. She never got help. She never learned to feel safe.

29.) Dear Old Dad

I’ve yet to meet a single human being who likes this episode tbh. There’s some great discussion about what kind of parent Greg is from it, and what kind of dynamic he has with the Gems that he felt he had to fake an injury to hang out with his son. Honestly the first half was fine and dandy. It’s just that then they Greg just went out of his way to drag Steven away from missions and such. It never jived well with his character before or after.

Also, is it just me, or does Zach himself sound like he hates the song as he sings it? There’s no passion or heart in his voice. It sounds like they told him to read off cue cards and he did. Tom Scharpling’s best attempts didn’t save this one for being a skipper. But the episode, unfortunately, isn’t, so it gets a spot on here.

DinLuke (Skydalorian) Fic Rec List

Hello all! Like many of us, I have fallen into Dinluke hell since the season 2 finale of The Mandalorian, so I have compiled a list of Dinluke fics that I love for you all to read. I’ve sorted them by series, and long fics, and one-shots. Incomplete/in-progress fics are marked with **. If you are like me and you absolutely LOVE force-sensitive Din Djarin, those fics will be bolded. If you want a rec list of just force-sensitive Din fics, let me know!

Enjoy!

Series

**Seperate Ways by PepperPrints - Explicit - iconic, exquisite, 1000/10, peak art, would recommend

With Moff Gideon defeated and the Darksaber reclaimed, the rumours of newly named Mand'alor Din Djarin spread through the galaxy... along with the stories of the Child he carries with him. Determined to meet him, Luke Skywalker arrives on Mandalore -- but before he can get any closer, he has to prove himself worthy of Mandalorian standards. 

**Skydalorian by Celestial_Alignment - Explicit

What if Din and Luke met pre-episode 4 and continued to run into each other through the years.

The Mandalorian ends up at Tosche Station and meets a desert youth who is apparently named "Wormie."

**The Vanishing Breed Series by @dosmit-raeh - Mature

The first thing Din noticed was the fire in the hearth. Near the hearth was a small, handmade crib, and from the crib came an excited cry. It spread through Din's chest like a bloodstain, perhaps it had in fact pierced his heart. He knew that little voice.

“Hey, you,” said Din softly. He dropped to his knees as the Kid scrambled out of the crib and scampered to him, crawling into his lap and burbling happily.

“That’s the most excited I’ve seen him in months,” said Skywalker. Din hadn’t even noticed him sitting across the room at a rough-hewn wooden table, nursing a cup of something. He wore the same carefully neutral expression he'd had on Gideon's ship, but his clothes were now desert-colored and hung loose around Skywalker's wiry frame. His hair was in disarray and it made him look much younger than he'd seemed on the ship; there, he'd seemed world-weary and ancient. Now, Din felt an insane need to protect.

Skywalker raised his cup at Din in greeting, a lopsided smile on his face. “He’s missed you," he said.

“Feeling’s mutual,” said Din gruffly.

___

The Mandalorian becomes Din Djarin. Din Djarin becomes.

(Luke helps.)

**Beskar and Kyber by Insomniac_with_dreams - Not Rated

“This is going to be awkward,” Luke sighs down at the baby in his arms. R2 beeps besides him and Luke nods in agreement. “Nothing to do but go back.”

His X-Wing is almost completely dismantled, sparking where wires hang limply. There is no way he’s getting off of this cruiser until it’s repaired. There aren't even any escape pods on board all of the docking bays empty. He hadn’t anticipated this, and now he was going to have to walk back to the bridge with the baby and explain himself to a heartbroken Mandalorian.

**you and i have memories by itBlackLeader - General

“What are you doing ?” A quiet voice asks behind his back.

Luke only responds with hums of contentment and a gentle tap on the grassy ground next to him.

(Luke and Din enjoy a quiet evening.)

Long Fic (Multi-chapter & 10K+)

Smoke Signals by Thestorans - Explicit - 23.5K

"Din Djarin"

He hears his name and it scares him enough to throw up his blaster, finger hovering over the trigger that is pointed right at Luke Skywalker's heart.

(or the one where a Jedi meets a Mandalorian and things get complicated.)

More Than His Armor by twoseas - Teen - 12.6K

Din visits Grogu at Luke’s academy more than any other parent. Luke isn’t complaining.

**Fates of the Force by starkjoy - Explicit

Six months after Grogu's rescue, an unexpected encounter launches Din on a quest throughout the galaxy alongside Jedi Master Luke Skywalker—a journey that may alter their fates forever.

the warmest bed i’ve ever known by ceedawkes - Explicit - 11.5K

pre-original series, din djarin is injured on a remote planet and found by an incessantly chatty farm boy named luke skywalker || i won't ask you to wait, if you don't ask me to stay || aka "making out with hot farm boys doesn't count as breaking the creed if he's blindfolded during it". edit 12/29: now with a post-series chapter 2.

**Worlds Apart by PepperPrints - Teen - honestly an absolute favorite, it only has 3 chapters so far but I’ve already re-read each one a million times

Having safely delivered the Child, Mand'alor Din Djarin inherits the Darksaber, a ruined planet, and the burden of Moff Gideon's fate. That burden brings Din to the New Republic on Coruscant, where he's thrown into a shimmering world of galactic politics even less familiar to him than the planet meant to be his home.

Din isn't the only one on Coruscant with his hands full of a once forgotten order - the Jedi is here too, and as their paths cross, Din will be forced to navigate both what's expected of him, and what he wants.

**we could be enough by @snap-dragon-pop - Teen

Din Djarin fights a war he never wanted to be a part of, and Luke Skywalker slowly makes a place for himself in a family he never knew he needed.

**he feels like home by bilgegungorenoo - Teen

Luke is in love.

And Leia doesn’t even need her strong Force bond with her twin to know that.

Or, 5 times people try to convince Luke to ask Din out, and 1 time Din takes it upon himself to do it.

**Family is a Funny Thing by SkylaDoragono - Mature

He promised the child he would see him again; he just didn't realize how hard it would be for him to stay away, even with the responsibility that came with the Darksaber breathing down his neck.

**Kir’manir by @iamonewithyouandyouarewithme - Teen - this one is one of my top 5 favorites already and it only has 2 chapters so far lol

He lets go of everything.

He reunites with his son, sees with his own eyes that he is safe, and just as quickly loses him again.

He gives the child to the Jedi, watches them prepare to leave. He sins, removes his helmet; feels the faintest touch of his son's tiny hand against his tired skin.

And then Bo-Katan shoots the Jedi in the back.

**For All The Things My Eyes Have Seen by Strawbebbi_Daiuiri - Teen

“He missed you.” The Jedi laughed. For a moment, Din didn’t respond, too wrapped up in the moment. Not that he probably would’ve responded anyways, but his focus was on the child in his arms. The feel of the other man’s stare, however, brought him back to where he was. ---- Or, the one where Luke and Din don't realize they're in love with each other for way too long and raise children together.

**no path runs smooth series by @andillwriteyouatragedy - General

"I don't know what game you're playing, here, but you know you have to go with the Jedi. This is your destiny."

"Luke." Din looks up to the Jedi, scanning him through his visor. As if he can see his face — and Din hopes even the most powerful Jedis can't see through beskar — the Jedi smiles at him again. He clarifies, "The Jedi? Has a name. I'm Luke Skywalker, Din Djarin."

One Shots

HOT SINGLE DAD IN YOUR AREA NEEDS YOUR HELP by coldishcase - Teen - crackfest but honestly relatable and funny as hell

A bright red box appears in Luke's vision, declaring in big, bold basic lettering: "HOT SINGLE DAD IN YOUR AREA NEEDS YOUR HELP." He's seen several just like it by this point, each more insistent than the last.

Someone needs his help, apparently. They sure have an interesting way of asking him for it, though.

How (Not) to Meet Your Son’s Boyfriend by fifteenminutesoffame - Not Rated

“You’re blocking the sunlight,” Obi-Wan chides, cast in shadow from Anakin’s hovering, his eyes still closed.

“Will you pay attention?” Anakin snaps. “Luke has made me a grandfather.”

i think i’m gonna marry you by snapdragonpop007 - General

It is an ancient tradition on Mandalore, that before you can ask for someone’s hand in marriage, you first have to defeat them in battle to prove your abilities to care for and provide for the family you’ll have. If you are not a capable warrior, you are not a capable spouse.

Luke didn't realize he had already skipped that step.

Got Me Hypnotized (So Mesmerized) by wasted_wallflower - Teen

“Thanks. For what you’re doing, I mean.” The words come out stilted and slow, and not for the first time, Din curses his inability to talk to people like a normal person. Luke Skywalker smiles at him, ducking his head with an undoubtedly bashful expression on his face, while the kid (Grogu, he reminds himself) chatters between them. “You’re welcome.” He says, that smile still on his face, and oh.

Oh no.

Din Djarin does not have a crush, despite what everyone else thinks. Enter Luke Skywalker.

At Arm’s Length

Commander Wolffe x Jedi Reader (gender neutral)

Summary: you finally find what you’ve been searching for all along.

Part 10/10 [previous chapter] • {masterlist}

Warnings: ✨feels✨

A/N: I am just. So overwhelmed by the support I’ve had with this little fic. Just like?? You’ve all been so wonderful 🥺🥰 thank you for joining me on this little trip with our favorite clone commander.

I have Paz Vizsla and Boba Fett fics that I’ll be starting soon if you’re interested! You can follow me and I’ll be posting them in the next week or so, or join my tag list (link on my masterlist) and you’ll be notified when they’re up!

Wolffe kisses you. Wolffe wants you, he wants you to be safe, to be happy–

Your mind whirls as you lose yourself in his touch. The earlier urgency to your actions had faded into slower, longer caresses as you explore each other, your hands mapping out each other’s bodies as you haven’t been able to pull your mouth from his for longer than to take a breath. It was like once he’d started, once he finally was allowed to have you, he wasn’t able to stop. Your head has gone fuzzy from his affection and you’re sure you’re drifting somewhere in a daydream, because your heart feels as if it is about to burst through your chest, and everything is so perfect, but he’s really here and with you–

Air. That was probably a good idea. You let out a cross between a sigh and a whine as you draw away, and it turns into a laugh as Wolffe chases after your lips instinctively. You stop him by pressing your fingertips to his swollen lips, which he bestows a soft kiss upon as you both recover with heaving chests.

“Hi,” you say shyly, gazing up at him through hooded eyelids.

He appears just as dazed as you and hums as he pulls you closer against him in response. “Are you alright?” He asks, one hand stroking up and down your back as you sink into his warmth. “I didn’t hurt you, did I?”

“Never been better,” you promise, trying to snuggle even closer to him despite the fact that your entire front is already touching him and your legs are tangled together.

“Good,” he says, and you can hear the smile in his voice without even having to look up. “That’s good. I’m glad.”

You’re content to just stay here forever, never leaving the safe haven that you’ve created with him in your room, but a tingling at the back of your mind quickly snaps you out of that fantasy. The sensation is one you’re used to after feeling it for the many years of your training, and yet Plo’s tug on your bond now is even more startling than the first time he’d done it so long ago. It reminds you of the reality of your situation, and you hurriedly try to pry yourself away from Wolffe and get out of the bed, because you can now feel that your master is right outside your door–

“Hey, hey,” Wolffe immediately is sitting up next to you, his hands on your upper arms to try and cease your motions. “You gotta take it easy, you’re still healing.”

You know he’s right. The pain lancing across your side at how suddenly you’d moved is a stark reminder of that, but your mind is still panicking. “But Wolffe, it’s Master Plo! He’s just outside, in the hallway.”

Wolffe’s face goes slack but you can see his resolve set in after only a moment of consideration. “It’ll be alright,” he says, running his hands up and down your arms to help calm you. “I won’t let anything happen to you again.”

It takes a moment for what he’s said to actually register in your mind, but he’s already up and moving across the room by then. “No, Wolffe, wait!”

But it’s no use. The door is already sliding open, and Wolffe falls into a respectful parade rest as he stands aside. “General.”

“Commander.” Master Plo’s voice is filled with amusement as he enters the room and first turns to you. “Padawan-mine, how are you feeling?”

You’ve shifted to sit up and move to stand, but he holds a taloned hand up placatingly. “Please, relax. It is alright.”

“No, Master,” you try and explain, but your thoughts are all jumbled by the adrenaline rush. “Wolffe did nothing wrong, I take full responsibility!”

You can feel Master Plo send a pulse through your bond, but you’re too worked up to focus on it. “Calm yourself, young one. No one is in any trouble.” He slips both hands into his draped robe sleeves as he continues. “I was merely concerned, given your flight from the medbay... and since Wolffe missed his shift on the bridge.”

Wolffe jerks as if he’s been struck. “General, I apologize–”

“No need,” Master Plo reassures him. “You’ve had more important matters to tend to.”

Wolffe pulls his shoulders back and tilts his chin up confidently and defiantly. “Yes sir, I have.”

“Good.” You can feel Master Plo’s masked gaze turns back towards you. “I will not make you return to the medbay, but you know better than I how important it is for you to rest and heal.” You can’t help but nod in agreement. “If I leave you under the care of the Commander, will you agree to remain here and call Medic Heat if you need further care?” He looks down after you nod in acceptance, and you find yourself following his gaze. You feel your cheeks heat up when you realize the parts of your lightsaber are still all in a neat pile beside your bed.

“My kyber crystal helps me meditate when I have it with me,” you offer weakly as an explanation.

“Do not be ashamed if it helps you, padawan,” your master says gently, resting a hand on top of your head. “These are dark times. Anything that helps keep us whole is something to be cherished.”

You know he isn’t talking about your crystal anymore. “Thank you, Master.”

“Of course, young one.” His voice is cheery, and this time your response to his mental nudge against your bond. “I’ll leave you to rest. Commander.” He stops beside Wolffe, and a silent conversation must pass between the two men, given the intensity that falls over them. Wolffe merely nods in response before your master leaves the room, the door sliding shut after him.

“Wolffe?” You find yourself reaching out to him without even realizing, and he’s at your side in an instant. He remains still as you lean towards him and wrap your arms around his waist, letting your head come forward to rest against his abdomen.

“What is it, cyare?” He asks softly, his voice rumbling in his chest as he strokes your hair.

You were loath to break the peaceful silence that has settled around you, but you need to get your words out before sleep reclaims you once again. “I love you,” you say sheepishly, hiding your face against his body. “That’s all I wanted to say.”

You would’ve been content to fall into a healing trance then and there, knowing you’d been fully honest with him and that he was here with you.

But his hands gently push you away from him and he crouches down to cup your face in his warm hands, his eyes searching your face for something. He must find what he’s looking for, because you can see the moment that his brow softens just before he guides you forward so your forehead presses against his. You let out a content sigh, your hands coming up to link your fingers behind his neck and hold him to you.

“Ni kar'tayl gar darasuum,” he murmurs back. “I love you, too.” He shifts a bit so his lips can brush against yours. “Now rest, cyare. I’ll be here when you wake up.”

————————

He is.

You’re the Sun - 10s And

❧ Genre: fluff and angst

❧ Words: 650

❧ Warnings: its a little sad 

❧ Synopsis: In your heart you knew you still loved Yuto but you just couldn’t handle being his second- or even third priority. After an argument over your feelings, you left your shared apartment in a rage. Now was the make or break moment in your relationship.

❧ Tag list: @wooya1224​

❧ A/N: sorry to start out with a sad one lmao the next one won’t be as angsty. Also I highly recommend listening to Fool by Winner while reading this 

~※ Love or Take Masterlist ※~

“I can’t keep doing this, Yuto!”

The room was silent. Your words bounced through the room and echoed in your head. Tears pricked at the corner of your eyes threatening to spill down your face. Yuto stared at you, his eyes widened due to your outburst. Yes, it came out a bit harsher than you intended but you were trying to get him to see- to understand you were hurting. 

You’d spent weeks going to bed alone and waking up alone without a sign of your boyfriend. You understood how demanding his career was and how dedicated he was but you were starting to feel like his second or third priority. You felt like an accessory. It was infuriating and you were at your breaking point. 

“Y/N please-”

“What am I to you?” you snapped, “Am I just a trophy? Some kind of prize? Because I certainly don’t feel like your partner!” 

Yuto was speechless. He wanted so desperately to say something but your words stunned him. You could feel so many emotions bubbling up in you- mostly anger. 

“I can’t do this anymore.”

You turned away and made your way to the door. You grabbed your jacket and left. You finally let the tears flow freely down your face as you headed down the street. You didn’t know where you were going to go but you just needed to get away. 

Yuto stayed frozen in the middle of the living room trying to process everything.  None of this felt real. He was sure he was in the middle of a dream right now. He just couldn’t believe the person he loved so much and held so close to his heart just walked out on him. Seeing you so hurt, because of him no less, absolutely broke his heart. His mind finally kicked into overdrive and he ran out of the house. He ran after you.

You walked all the way to a park about a half mile down the road. You don’t quite know how you ended up here but this is where your feet brought you. Memories of all the times you spent in this little neighborhood park with Yuto flooded your head. Memories of the time you played on the swings, the picnic you had on your anniversary, the night you stayed out until it was dark so you could watch the stars. The tears spilled down your face faster. 

“Y/N!” 

You didn’t even have to turn your head to hear Yuto running towards you. His footsteps coming closer and closer echoed in your ears. He grabbed your wrist before you had a chance to leave. 

“Y/N,” he panted

“What do you want?” you sneered as you turned to face him

“You’re the sun.”

“What?”  

“You’re the sun,” he breathed heavily, “You’re the sun and the stars. You’re the light in my life. You’re what keeps me grounded. You’re my forever.”

You tried to swallow the lump forming in your throat by his sudden confession. You could see Yuto’s eyes glistening like he was about to cry himself. Your expression softened. 

“I’m so sorry,” he choked out, “I don’t want this to be our end, please.”

You were silent. Your heart ached seeing him in such distress. You looked down at the hand wrapped around your wrist. You pulled your arm out of his grasp. His face visibly fell at your actions. You looked back up at him.

“If you could take me back-”

Your arms wrapped around his torso tightly interrupting him. You buried your face in his chest letting your fresh tears soak his shirt. Yuto immediately enveloped you with his arms as if he was shielding you from the world. He held you tightly against him, his head resting on the top of your head. He rubbed your back soothingly letting you cry it out. No words needed to be exchanged. You both knew you’d be alright.

➸ CHAPTER 10 | " AT LONG LAST PT. 2 "

starring: enhypen ft. daniel

pairing: jungwon x fem!reader x sunghoon

genres: royal au, romance, angst, slowburn, 18th century setting

word count: 2.4k

taglist: @serendipitysung (betareader) @en-sun @affectionaterainoflove @renkiv @softforjungwoo @jislix @gyeraniee @fluffi @stxrryemxlys @jungwon-luv-bot-pt3 @lost-lepord-beanie @hyunsunge @hooniecore @thenoceurgirl @thonkingdeepo

[ PREV. CHAPTER ] | [ M. LIST ] | [ NEXT CHAPTER ]

One of the strangest things about love is that it will make you feel rooted one moment, then wavered by the next; all by the person whom you treated like your resting place — only for them to be tired of you in their next waking day. In Jungwon’s case, he didn’t feel threatened by the marquess’ efforts to acquire his girl. Despite Y/n’s plead to stop the unlabeled thing going on between them, Jungwon refused to feel daunted. So he did what he does best: expressing his sentiments in the form of written words— the language of the unsaid.

The night Y/n ended things between them, Jungwon made a quick stop to their library to write down a few of the many things she did to him on the daily; it contained some of the uncountable things he wanted to say to her if she’d only listened. He poured out his heart, writing to the best of his ability with all the love and warmth she deserved, hoping his adoration would reach her if it wasn’t too late yet.

Crumpling away various parchments and scratching several more, he finally had it neatly tucked in between the pages of their favorite Jane Austen book she threw at him weeks prior. Before leaving the said book upon the large, round table in the center of the room, Jungwon topped it off with a little quote, once again, peeking from the worn-out cover of the antique novel.

“I will go if you need me to go, but bear in mind that I don’t want to leave. I have no other homeland but you. So I will patiently sit in the corner of your heart and wait for our time.”

If it weren’t for Jay’s knowledge about his friend’s almost parting gift, Y/n wouldn’t be rushing down their manor’s library with an eager yet tormented heart the day after. She immediately clasped the book, the repertoire of their precious memories and Jungwon’s poetic affection, the instant she saw it lying on the surface of her late father’s desk.

Y/n pulled out the tiny parchment with Jungwon’s last quote, putting down the book back on the wooden desk. She carefully muttered each word as if it was an ode, constantly bouncing in her mind back and forth.

Her heart found a bit of relief behind his written words, yet she still found it vague that he couldn’t face her and tell her himself. Y/n picked the book again and as she flicked through the pages, a small, handwritten envelope caught her attention. Her heart began to thump.

She gently tore the envelope open only to be welcomed by several folded papers brimming at the edge of the torn covering. Jungwon got her used to the underlined phrases and pieces of quotes, and almost nothing from Jungwon’s heart itself. And now suddenly, all the letters were about her, from the depths of her lover’s affection.

“Be still, my heart.” She whispered under her shaky breath.

My dearest Y/n,

We made quite a mess, don’t you think? Or rather, I did.

When I didn’t react to your efforts of reaching out,

I'm sure you thought I'd gone on or despised you.

I bet it never ever occurred to you that I just couldn’t

bring myself to say "hello" and risk another goodbye.

You wore your best dress that day we departed,

and you were there to watch me leave.

And all the times you let me in just for me to screw things up and leave again.

I’ve been trying to undo what I did to you by making amends.

I’m trying so hard, believe me.

Everything I said in the past and the phrases I underlined in attempts to confess to you,

They were all true.

I cannot stop thinking of you, my thoughts of you never end.

They’re so loud they prevent me from sleeping at night.

I’ve been restlessly rehearsing the words I’d tell you if time didn’t forbid.

But unfortunately, it appears that my time in your heart is up.

Truth be told, we were something, don’t you think?

I cannot shrug away the thought that we were nothing when

I could feel your calm breath against my heaving chest,

It felt like you were meant to reside there, in the warmth of my embrace.

I’m afraid I couldn’t bear myself to write more of these.

They don’t deserve to be kept in any longer.

If you still wish to talk to me and hear me out before giving your hand away,

Meet me in the Queen’s Garden at dusk tomorrow.

Jay has agreed to chaperone you there,

But he must leave us to ourselves when we reach the Catalpa tree.

Until then, I will remain in the state of waiting, for the last time.

— Forever yours, Jungwon

The awaited dusk came upon, and it was a shocker for Y/n that she rejected Sunghoon’s plea to spend the day together over an impulsive meeting with Jungwon. Jay helped lift his sister from the horse, firmly securing his grip on her corseted waist. Her heart was in a weary state; she feared it would be a cycle again of Jungwon acting out his affection and leaving her hanging when their moment’s up. She couldn’t trust him fully anymore, knowing he had recklessly wasted so much borrowed time and promises.

“Are you sure you’ll be fine? I can stay by the gazebo and wait for you.”

“It’s alright, Jay. Didn’t he promise you that he’d send me home? Ride safe, brother!”

Jay walked closer to her and draped his arm around her shoulder, planting a long, soft kiss on the crown of her head. “See you at home, sis.”

Y/n heaved a deep breath before taking baby steps towards the Catalpa tree where Jungwon had been lounging hours prior. With a heavy heart and romantic complications in mind, she stood in front of the lover she forced herself to detest; eyes never leaving his.

But Jungwon, being easily distracted by her tantalizing eyes, quickly averted his gaze to the grass he had been standing on. His confident stance stripped away though he mustered the courage to look at the beautiful pair, as the object of his affection gradually approached him.

“Why didn’t you come and talk to me yourself?”

“Would you have listened?” Y/n ran out of retorts as she was guilty enough, cutting Jungwon’s explanations that night in their garden.

The boy drew closer to her, softly lifting her resting hand to interlock it with his. “Y/n…” only to be shrugged away by the maiden.

“You must have gone crazy, coming here like this. Tell me, are you that desperate to impel your pride-”

“This is not about my pride! I-” Jungwon ran a hand through his hair as he let out a frustrated sigh, realizing what he just did. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to raise my voice. It upsets me to know that you still think this is all for my ego, supposing you’ve read the letters I left you.”

“So you’ve been living in denial all these years?”

“I never meant to come between you and him.”

“Yet here we are. Someone’s caught in the middle, and it’s definitely not you, Jung.” The boy stared down at his worn-out boots, million-dollar thoughts running through his mind, yet he couldn’t find the ones he needed to say.

“Do you want me to start it off for you?” Y/n crossed her arms, trying her best to compose a cold approach to Jungwon, although the chap’s been looking unkempt like he hasn’t slept for days in every passing minute of their imminent bickering.

“Haven’t you gotten the letters?”

“I did.”

“Is there anything you want to say about it?” Y/n scoffed at the timid boy who was shattered by the lady’s callousness.

“You asked me to come here, Jungwon! All this time you’ve said nothing but a few words to me. Are you even serious right now?” She half-yelled in frustration.

“I’m trying to prevent myself from saying the wrong things.”

“You’ve barely been able to look me in the eye!”

“For the reason that I cannot bear witness to the misery I’ve caused you!”

Y/n gulped when she saw a tear grazing down Jungwon’s dimpled cheek. It was the first time she’d seen him cry in a long time, the last one being the day he left her for university five years ago.

“It pains me,” he stammered, breaths shaky as tears kept dripping down the grassy lawn. “It pains me to know that I’ve yet again, caused you another heartache. If there was anything I could do to bring back the hands of time, I would. I would do it in a heartbeat. If I could go back to when we were thirteen, on the exact day I left you for London, I would vow to you then and there that I will spend every lifetime with you when I get back.” Jungwon went on and on, eyes now fixated upon her sparkling orbs that reflected the full moon above them.

“But I was a stubborn, scared, idle bloke who’s now deserving of punishment. It’s long overdue, but I still think I deserve this, and I’m sorry. I’m tremendously sorry that it took your beautiful marquess to be caught in the middle of our mess for me to realize that you were my all and more. You are my all and more, Y/n. I couldn’t bear this any longer. My feelings will not be silenced this time, and I must let you hear of how I truly, madly, and deeply love you now more than ever. I’d hate myself for eternity if it came to the conclusion of having to lose the one real thing I’ve ever hoped for in this lifetime. If the mighty heavens don’t forbid us to love again, I swear I’d love you right.”

“Why are you telling me this now? You had all the chances, Jung. Why did it have to be in the most unsuitable moment where Mother and the Duke are preparing for the imminent wedding?!”

“Sometimes you don’t fully know the answer until someone’s breaking badly in front of you. I’m sorry, Y/n. But I’m here now, in all my glory, swallowing my pride, and laying my armor down if you choose to rather love than fight.”

Jungwon approached her. Too close until an inch of distance was left between them. His eyes had been watering with tears the entire time he was rambling his feelings, but he wiped her glistening tears away instead, bearing in mind that he’s making up for lost times. His face was mere inches away from hers, breaths fanning against each other as Y/n sniffs lightly with Jungwon’s nose bumping against hers.

“I love you, Y/n. My longing for you aches like piled-up bricks pushed against my chest, as my love for you burns, heavily and passionately, like a thousand suns set ablaze right before our very eyes. My heart is, and always will be, yours. You’ve imparted me this quote once from a book you found scattered around my room. ‘Only the deepest love will persuade me into matrimony’ and I had carved it into the depths of my soul, putting myself under the commitment of being worthy of your choice. I grew confident because I know you love me truly more than him.”

Jungwon raised her flimsy hand and kissed it with much intent before placing it around his shoulders and having his hand rest on the small of her back. With his other hand hanging freely to his side, he lifted it up to graze his gentle fingers upon the lady’s soft cheek, carefully taking in her satisfied reaction to his touch as she kept her eyes closed and her lips parted. Jungwon pulled her chin up with his forefinger, his thumb softly pinching it in the aftermath. He brushes his nose against hers, bathing in each other’s warmth and shy touches, bodies electric.

“Marry me.”

Y/n shoots a concerned look at Jungwon, “but what about Lady Choi? I thought you two-”

“No one else could make me the happiest man in this world, Y/n, no one but you.” Jungwon wasted no time and crashed his lips against hers. First, and long-awaited kisses are finally shared under the illuminating beam of the fullest moon of the year. The gent tilts his head to the side, gaining more access to the lady’s lips as Y/n heaves a deep breath, slowly taking in his upper lip within hers.

He pulls away mere seconds after to get some oxygen into his system while taking the opportunity to continue his unrehearsed proposal. “My heart will only rest in yours. Marry me, Y/n, will you?”

The lady buried her face against his chest that was clad in blue, velvety frock coat adorned with gold embroidery upon its hems. She sniffed his immaculate scent in before letting out muffled whispers. “Give me time to reflect on it. Only then will I give you my answer.”

“Time, of course. As much as you need, my love.” Jungwon gave her a quick and final kiss on the lips before freeing her from his embrace. “I must get you home now. Your mother would be frantic if she knew you were frolicking around with me while she worries about your wedding plans with Sunghoon.”

“Don’t say that. He hasn’t proposed to me yet.”

“But when he does, I’m certain your mother won’t pass up the chance.”

Y/n kissed him back. Fleeting, but full of love. “It’s me who’s getting married, Jung, not her.”

“I love you.”

“You’ve said it already.”

“I will say it again if I have to.” Y/n chuckles lightly, feeling relieved now that Jungwon has trampled down the barriers preventing them from transparency.

The gent lifts her up to his white horse before following after. He instantly took hold of her hands and had them wrapped around his small waist. “Hold on tight. We’re past my promised hour so I’m going to have to speed up, okay?” Y/n didn’t say anything, instead, she hugged Jungwon tightly by the waist and snurfled her cheek against his back. It was enough affirmation for him, so he yanked the thick rope, revving his horse on the cobblestones on their way home.

Tag Game

Thanks for tagging me @coldsandfluff , this was really fun to think about! Her original post can be found here.

The game is such:

List your top three whump tropes and tag people.

Whoever gets tagged gets to say how they feel about your top three tropes.

After finishing that, they then list their top three tropes, and the tagging cycle goes on!

@coldsandfluff tropes:

1. A Very Important Person who shouldn’t care about someone’s cold, but does. Like a CEO, a doctor, a huge celebrity… Just someone who obviously has way more important things to care about than the sickie’s cold (because the sickie isn’t part of their inner circle, like an employee or an assistant), but turns out to be a very caring person and goes out of their way to make sure the sickie is well taken care of. And if they’re the grumpy type, they do it in a grumpy way and won’t acknowledge it, but you can totally tell they’re a sweetheart underneath it all. Love it.

Thoughts: I usually prefer writing and reading about characters with little to no power imbalance, but you really sold me on this one! I like the idea of someone important being smitten by someone’s personality/deeds and deciding that they need to make sure this beautiful soul is taken care of properly (and maybe catching feelings along the way). And if the sickie gets really happy or emotional because the person taking care of them is someone they admire? Sign me up! I think that’s absolutely adorable.

2. A cold that develops slowly. You get to witness every stages of a cold through the character. The scratchy throat they think is just dehydration. The nagging headache they ignore. The first few sneezes that are probably just from dust or something. As it progresses, the sickie realizes they’re sick, but they can still go about their business without people noticing; they still have about a day where they can hide it, maybe go to the bathroom to blow their noses, down a whole bottle of Dayquil, anything. But there’s always that one perceptive and ultra caring care-taker that puts all the little signs together and forces the sickie to slow down and rest.

Thoughts: I love this trope so much! It’s fine (and has the potential to be great) when a worse illness develops slowly, but colds and flus don’t have very high stakes and I prefer that most of the time. The slow addition of symptoms, the moment of realization and their reaction to it, and especially that perceptive caretaker that notices and jumps into action trying to take care of them (maybe even before the sickie knows themself) are all great.

3. The forehead feel from two people who have just met. I know this one is not for everyone; some people don’t like to be touched, let alone be touched by someone they barely know, but there’s something so endearing to me about two people who are just starting to get to know each other, for example on a first date, and one of them is running a fever but trying to hide it, and the other realizes it, hesitates for a second, then places their hand on the sickie’s forehead without a word. And then of course the delicious “You’re burning up,” or “Thought so,” or “You’re sick, aren’t you?” or “You feel a bit warm, let’s get you home,” or… I could go on forever. There’s just an added warmth for me when the person isn’t super close to the sickie, but cares just as much and is just as concerned as someone who is.

Thoughts: I like this trope a lot, too! Having the caretaker either grow to care for someone so quickly or just be the type to naturally slide into the role regardless of their relationship to the sickie are both wonderful. I usually prefer one of two extremes with this trope: the caretaker is embarrassed or hesitant to check the sickie’s forehead OR the caretaker is so worried or feels so comfortable around new people that they jump wholeheartedly into a caretaking role immediately. 

My current favorite tropes:

1. Confessing love while sick and feverish. A sickie that is completely worn down and emotional finally cracking and allowing themselves to be vulnerable to the person taking care of them. I’m a sucker for when the feelings confessed are romantic, and the caretaker responds to a teary confession with sweet comfort and reassurance that they love them back, or a confused and playful “I thought we've already been dating...??”. BUT I also absolutely adore platonic confessions of love to the caretaker, especially if the caretaker was worried that the sickie didn’t really like them much before but after the sickie recovers they become close friends or have a new mutual respect and care for each other. Bonus points if the sickie and/or caretaker cries during this confession, it adds to that good good vulnerability.

2. A sickie trying to keep the people they care about away from them so they don’t get sick, too. I think I like this trope so much because it shows how much the sickie cares for the caretaker despite them being so weak and vulnerable. They may desperately crave the company, affection, or care because they feel so awful, but their deep care for the caretaker still shines through even while they’re out of it. Trying to temporarily shut them out, lie about how they’re feeling, putting on a brave face as a way to protect the caretaker from contagion or worry. The sickie can put up as much fuss and drag out the façade as long as they want, but this trope is only one of my favorites if the caretaker ends up taking care of the sickie at some point. Maybe they knew the whole time the sickie was lying because they know them so well, the sickie slips up and it all clicks into place for the caretaker, or the caretaker accidently stumbles upon the sickie when their walls are down when they think they’re alone or in the clear. Just!! The moment the sickie realizes that the caretaker is going to stay with them!! Temporary intense fear of contagion? Full-on sobbing, filled with a jumble of love for the caretaker, fear of making them miserable if they get sick too, relief that they don’t need to suffer alone anymore? Confused as they wake up from a fitful nap to be filled with a welcomed warmth seeing the caretaking making food in another room or watching tv with their hand on their leg? *chefs kiss* All of it. It’s the sickie allowing themself to be vulnerable and accept help and love after putting up a fight to protect a person or people they care about. Wonderful. 10/10 every time.

3. Reluctant caretaker and/or sickie. There are lots of different types of reluctant caretakers or sickie characters, but I prefer characters that are reluctant because they’re weary of contagion, unsure of how the other person feels about them or the situation, or are bad at expressing their feelings (like someone that pretends to be grumpy and reluctant but secretly eats it up and eventually starts to show their feelings as they get progressively more tired or out of it). I like that this kind of reluctance has the potential to add a little bit of tension? Drama? Possible small misunderstandings? I like when it leans more light-hearted, but it’s a pretty versatile trope and can absolutely lean more angsty or be added to slow-burn stuff. For me it’s about that allowing themselves to be vUlnEraBle with each other and working through whatever is causing the reluctance. Bumps along the road are great, but if the fic doesn’t end with at least the implication that things are going to be okay for the sickie and caretaker I won’t be into it all.

Okay, so I’m still getting my bearings after being on hiatus for quite a while, so I’m not sure who is currently active or not right now. 😭 I’m going to tag @gay-for-the-snz , @mochi0chi0chi , and @dylan-1117 ​ , feel free to respond if this seems fun to you, but absolutely no pressure!

Summary: their s/o passed, they blame themselves and other and sadly cannot cope.

Warnings: Death, Blood, Feels and Fluff Words: a lot just a lot

Levi Ackerman (Sadderdaze)

Somethings never change for Levi losing the ones he loves left and right but why did he think that would change with y/n.

During the Battle of Shiganshina, Y/n was by Levi’s side the whole time.

They always was anyways, the lone survivor of Levi’s Squad after the 57th Expansion. Years ago, they vowed the loyalty for him then again 3 years later, till death did them part.

They both lead the group of soldiers to eliminate the Beast Titan.

As the Beast began to throw rocks everyone took covered in an abandoned town, after the first-round y/n and Levi resurfaced on the roofs.

They both noticed the beast was readying for another throw, yelling for the other to go bad into cover.

“GO BACK!” Y/N yelled into their cupped hands; they still couldn’t hear them.

Levi started to run to help them, only to be held back, y/n telling him there isn’t enough time.

Levi protested only for Y/n starting to push him back down to between the houses.

Suddenly, Y/n gave him a hard push on his back making him lad down on the ground. Looking back up to his love, their leg of in a now, missing part of the roof.

Levi quickly shot back up to help them out, grabbing their hands pulling as hard as he could.

“Levi… LEVI! Please take cover, you’ll die.”

“I’m not leaving you behind… not again.”

Levi had left Y/n in charge of his squad as he joined Erwin in the 57th Expansion. Nearly dying because of the Female Titan and protecting Eren.

Y/n pulled their arm away from him, giving him one final hard push in the chest right before the rock came pass them.

“I love you” they whispered.

As Levi flew back to the ground, he held eye contact with them all of his memories going through his head, knowing that this was the last time he would see of them, forever.

As for y/n, all their memories flew through them.

Late nights with Hanjie, mornings drinking tea with Erwin and Levi.

Levi… the night of their wedding, cake, slow dancing together, then stargazing. Oh, what they’d give to do that one more time with him.

Then they were gone.

Days later, everyone was concerned about the Captain. They could hear his cries and sobs when they’d pass his room. If you’d knocked, his cries would stop, and he’d stay silent till he watched your feet leave.

Every time Hanjie would open his door to bring breakfast or dinner, they could see the hopefulness in his eyes only for them to fall. Not like he ate till he was starving and knew he had too.

Years later, as Levi slept at night, he could still hear the whisper and cries of his love. That’s all he could hear ever, yet now he hid it well.

The nights he couldn’t sleep he’d walk through the halls of the fallen soldiers. In the middle of all the paintings, was Erwin. A gold frame shining in the moon light. Next to him was y/n.

They also had a golden frame and at the top were their favorite floor in their favorite color. Whomever painted it, Levi thought they did an amazing job.

The captured the brightness of their eyes, their gloss on their hair and the perfection on their hands.

Levi sat on his knees, lightly placing his hand on theirs. Wishing he could feel them just one more time.

BONUS:

“I bet you’re not popular with the ladies…” Zeke sighed.

Levi looked down thinking about y/n for the first time since the battle. “I was popular enough…”

Armin Arlert (When Will I See You Again)

Most people admired Y/n relationship with Armin, never put a title on side thing but the two and others knew they loved each other.

And when y/n died… well it was hard on everyone.

Since Armin inherited the Colossal Titian he saw and heard y/n die with his own eyes or really with Bertholdt eyes.

They stood by Armin till the very end or what they thought was the end.

The two stood in front of the giant titan, directing him. The plan… they knew they were going to die but it was with Armin and that’s all y/n would ever want.

Bertholdt let out the burning steam, burning them alive. y/n’s eyes looked at Armin, they screamed and cried till nothing… black.

Armin on the other head was giving the Titan Serum, eating Bertholdt and becoming the monsters he hated.

From the second he woke from the shift, all he could thing of was Y/n.

Where are they?

Are they okay?

Then and dare he say naturally, the memories caved in.

Seeing through his predecessor’s eyes, he remembered his love burn to death. Hearing their caries and he saw them always looking at him.

He cried and blamed himself for their death, y/n thought they were dying together but Eren couldn’t let him live in peace.

“they died thinking they were with me.” He whispered.

He always tired to keep his resentment in around Eren and Mikasa, but everyone could here him scream in pain in the forest next to the HQ.

He used Bertholdt’s memories to see them together all the time, Sasha and Mikasa would become worried he wasn’t grieving well but soon like screams every night stop.

Instead, it was quite crying at night, which wasn’t any better for anyone.

Then they left to find the Sea, one thing that could make Armin come to peace with himself.

Reaching the ocean everyone would play and have fun their but looking down in the water, Armin could’ve sworn he saw his love looking back at him but alas he lost the sight as fast as he saw it.

He knew Y/n would and still is by his side everyday till death brought them back to each other.

Erwin Smith (My Kind of Woman)

Everyone knew Erwin as a very stoic man, a calm gentle giant but with a heart and will of Iron.

And that was true, but that was after someone not one would talk about.

Their name is Y/n, Erwin Smith’s great love.

In 845, the Survey Corps returned from an expiation, but most do not know what happened.

“Four abnormals on the right wing!” some one shouted

Erwin looked at y/n who was smiling but still looking out for themselves and others. They looked over at Erwin and smiled even wilder.

Ever since training, Y/n saw bright side of things. It was their idea to recruit the Underground rebels.

In all most a flash of lighting, rain pored down soldiers dying all around.

10 abnormals flailing around, killing and eating people.

Erwin stared behind him, watching his comrades die under his orders. Then he locked eyes with y/n as they jumped off their horse as a Titan waved its arm at her.

“Erwin!”

Y/n yelled hoping he would turn and help them, and he did, yet despite the connection they had…

It was too late, they were harshly picked and swished, screams reaching everyone’s ears. Held above the Titan’s mouth their blood poured into then as the life quickly left their eyes they were dropped into its mouth.

If it wasn’t for Levi, Erwin would’ve been died too.

Ever second since then he blamed himself, knowing if he was just a little faster.

He paid someone to make a painting of her for his office, they were his right-hand person, but others knew it was more than that.

He would cry as quite as he could for years till it was small smiles or few tears while in his office or drinking tea with Levi or Hanji.

They both learned not to question it as it was a normal thing for the man after five years.

The new recruits would ask about the painting of a random person in his office, he would say someone special.

Yet it’s been years he would still become choked up that night.

Mikasa Ackerman (i wanna be your girlfriend)

Mikasa and Y/n met in training, two people how just sat not needing to say anything to enjoy each other’s company.

Eating dinner, they’d just sit and watch everyone else bicker and talk, nothing needed to be said. Despite being Sasha’s sibling, the older one seem to get all the personality then again there was nothing wrong with the way they were.

Although being close to death of a many of times, they lived and slightly loved Mikasa and watched her grow into a beautiful women she was.

Over the years, y/n become more vocal not wanting to miss out on the moments they had left with everyone. They and Jean would bicker and laugh about dumb things, Connie and they would just sitting and reminisce on old times.

Then Sasha met Nicolo and well y/n had never more vocal about anything before.

“Oooooh the cook, he’s perfect for you.”

y/n would tease Sasha along with Jean and Connie, although Nicolo didn’t seem to mind, Sasha would turn redder than a beet!

Then the war came, Y/n didn’t leave Mikasa side unless it was to save their ether extremely brave or stupid sister.

As y/n and Mikasa run to Eren’s ad after killing the War Hammer Titan, Mikasa yells at Eren.

Y/n watches the two argue, as the War Hammer Titan stands tall and definitely not dead.

Y/n watches as it starts to shoot a crystal goop at them, Y/n wipps around slamming themselves into Mikasa, holding onto her and they both flay away from the now hardened crystal.

“thank you, y/n.”

Y/n only nodded, looking back at the crystal. Again, they themselves in danger for Mikasa but they knew if it came down to it, they would die for their family.

After the battle, everyone was on the air ship, Mikasa had left y/n with Jean, Connie and Sasha. They talked happy to see each other alive.

“You guys are really special to me.”

Next thing anyone knew, both Jean and Y/n heard rumbling from the entrance. Turning around they saw a little girl with a rifle.

y/n quickly realized she was aiming for everyone of the ship, mainly their sister. Running in front of the fire, trying to do the same thing they once saw Hanjie do years ago still the girl shot.

The bullet went straight threw y/n’s stomach; push through the pain they grabbed the gun from the girl. They butted it into the little girl’s head, knocking her out.

The adrenaline wore off, y/n put their hand on their stomach. Their hand covered in blood, they turned around to see their sister on the floor surrounded by their friends.

“Guys…” they dropped the rifle on the floor.

The word came out their mouth, everyone with tears in their eyes slowly turned to look at them.

Jean watched as the blood dripped from their suit on to the light brown flooring.

Y/n began to walk to them, waddling side to side.

Mikasa entered the room watching Y/n fall over into what was now a pool of blood. She quickly ran over, flipping them over sobbing.

Jean quickly applied pressure into the wound, but it was too late. Y/n looked up at Mikasa, their bloodied hand lightly touching her face.

Mikasa sat head on her knees, in between both Blouse graves. She could still here the raspy breaths, the yells of Jean telling them to stay awake and the laugh Eren let out seeing the dead bodies.

She’d cry at nights realizing she loved them more than a friend, she felt like a piece of her was now gone.

During dinners Mikasa would push her food around till she couldn’t sit and not laugh or sob. Armin had become worried of her, but he knew she just needed time.
