hi limbus company fandom
so i had a thought. and that thought was "what if the sinners and all their identities had voicelines for when it was your/the manager's birthday" and what was supposed to be a funny "what if" scenario rapidly expanded into me actually thinking about it. so. because it ended up so long, i'm putting all of this under the cut so that no one has to scroll for a mile to read it all in the tag. you're welcome btw /lh
Yi Sang Base LCB: "Another year prolonging your stay in this world… may the rest of it be to your ideal pleasantness, Dante."
Seven Section 6: "The director informed me it was your birthday today, and instructed me to hand you this parcel as a gift. … I cannot tell you why she has it memorized. I try not to bother the director with such queries."
Blade Lineage Salsu: "How old are you now, Dante? … You do not know. I see. Yet another mysterious facet of you to be intrigued by…"
Faust Base LCB: "This is for you, Dante. I hope you enjoy it. … Hm? What is it for? Yes, Faust expected you to ask such a thing. It is your birthday, Manager."
W Corp Cleanup Agent: "Due to the nature of my occupation, personal occasions and celebrations are not common around the work environment. However, I am not bothered with taking a small portion of time to wish you a happy birthday."
L. Corp Remnant: "Birthdays were rarely given much worth in my old place of work- if we were lucky, a few of us would simultaneously take our breaks in order to have a small celebration. Perhaps it may not be so different here… but I hope you have a proper celebration nonetheless."
The One Who Grips: "How fortunate you are, to have lived another full year in this world with your humanity intact! Such a wondrous thing indeed… though, must you still wear that mask, even on such a glorious occasion that's just for you… ?"

Kurokumo Wakashu: "That's one more year you've survived now. IFFY." (impressive feat for you)

R.B. Chef de Cuisine: "Word travels fast through these streets- H.B.D. I made a special pie this morning, just in case you dropped by… enjoy."
Meursault Base LCB: "Congratulations on another year. … I was only expected to give you a statement like that for today, nothing more."
Liu Section 6: "I was asked to deliver this cake to you. The candles were lit by my flame, so please do not feel obligated to blow them out immediately."

Jefe de Los Mariachis: "I'm doing a special performance tonight- you'll be there for it, won't you, Dante? It's a routine I've been practicing just for you, after all…"

Outis Base LCB: "Happy birthday to you, Executive Manager. If you'd like, I will gather the others and have them sing your praises for the rest of today."
Blade Linage Cutthroat: "I see it is a special day for you, Executive Manager. I shall leave you to it, then- I wish not to impede what you have in mind for it."
G Corp Head Manager: "For today, I will grant you a day of rest. Only today, though- try to get out of your duties on any day but this one, and you will regret it."
Seven Section 6 Director: "I'm very glad I was able to catch you- here's some money. Treat yourself to something good today. You've earned it."

Liu Section 6: "Hey, Manager bud. Come find me when it gets dark, alright? It's your birthday and all… and fireworks are much more impressive against a black sky."

Ships with Stiles that I enjoy | RANKED
1 : Stisaac
Stiles/Isaac
Tumblr media
My favorite. 10/10. The DRAMA, but also the shared trauma, they're perfect. Sure it's a BIT toxic but it's a guilty pleasure, what can I say.
2 : Stalia
Stiles/Malia
Tumblr media
Only lower on the list BECAUSE Malia should've had SO much more mental development before going into a relationship. But they were cute, 10/10
3 : Stydia
Stiles/Lydia
Tumblr media
Only third because of how FUCKING LONG IT TOOK. AND HOW LITTLE WE ENDED UP GETTING. Jeff Davis can go suck a wrinkly dry hairy testicle. Still 10/10
4 : Stira
Stiles/Kira
Tumblr media
HEAR ME OUT. They would geek out so much together its NOT even fucking funny. They're both socially awkward nerds that ramble and I live for it. 10 out of fucking 10. Prefer Malira tho...
5 : Sterica
Stiles/Erica
Tumblr media
Low-key wanted this to happen for a bit. Maybe not permanently because I always saw the both of them to be more bisexual types but they would've been cute. Also I can't remember where the whole "Batman" "Catwoman" nicknames came from but it is my only life support rn. 9.5/10
6 : Sterek
Stiles/Derek
Tumblr media
My favorite blorbo Derek Hale. I didn't get the hype with this ship when I first started watching, but then I kept seeing things in this show that made me wonder, "Jeff, was this intentional?" Bc they're so very gay with each other. Alas, age gaps are an iffy thing for me personally due to my own personal traumas, but I still love them. 9.5/10
7 : Stora
Stiles/Cora
Tumblr media
Cute, could've happened, not mad that it didn't, but def a wasted opportunity on Jeff Davis' part. Solid 8/10.
8 : Stanny
Stiles/Danny
Tumblr media
This was definitely more of a humor thing but I liked the idea of these two together from the get-go. In my opinion, there was definitely a little crush on Stiles' part and I love that. 8/10
9 : Sciles
Scott/Stiles
Tumblr media
Personally, this one is so far down the list because it's difficult for me to see them as more than brothers but it's still a ship I can respect and it's cute. Gets a LITTLE toxic in some areas, for example S5, but that's OKAY. Just some miscommunication between brothers it's FINE I'm fine. But my brain cant stop putting this in the 'incest' folder even tho theyre not related WHATSOEVER. SO. SOLID 7.5/10
(Their parents are my otp tho. Noah and Melissa are perfect together and the best thing I've ever experienced)
Reasons
For not including other ships.
Steo : I am a Thiam shipper through and through. And Theo did things to Stiles that doesn't even make enemies to lovers valid in my opinion. IK he got a redemption arc and he was being manipulated since he was a child but STILL. I love Theo but he's not the one (for Stiles, anyway🤭).
Any ship with him and an adult ; ie, Peter, Chris, Parrish etc. : Do I even have to explain this one? I mean REALLY?
Stiam : They are like Mother and Child to me and I will take that to my GRAVE.
Stackson : Last season-T.W. Movie Jackson MAYBE but early seasons Jackson was a toxic mf who loved NOBODY but himself based on how he treated Lydia.
(Pointed out by a commenter) Stallison : I actually never knew people shipped this and didn't know it was a thing until now. Personally, if they had the time, they could've grown to have a very close familial bond (like siblings) but similar to Scott, that's all I can see them as. It's a very cute ship though, and I like the idea. (Wish I knew about it beforehand tbh 😅)
Pretty sure I covered evertyhing, but if I missed someone, let me know!

Part 2 of the Black Sheep getting sorted into different dorms.
¤¤
(Name) Schoenheit gets sorted into Octavinelle.
His stance with the media was shifty at best and he was really good at one thing and it was music. He honestly iffy about being sorted in a dorm with Vil or being sorted into different dorm. He didn't mind creating songs since it was what he excelled at the most. Seeing the other siblings of the dorm leaders get sorted into the dorm so far, he will assumed that it will also happen to him.
"The Shape of Your Soul is Octavinelle."
Ah..... well, he couldn't have blended in even if he tried. Well, he honestly didn't mind working as long as he can listen to his music and not be..... He gave a sigh at the greed in his dorm leader's eyes. He wasn't going to be forced to perform especially in front of people. Hopefully, they don't try to gaslight him, he gets enough of that from the media. He thought sitting down beside his dormmates.
(Name) Shroud gets sorted into Disamonia.
The little flame was tensed up at seeing the siblings sorted into the different dorms. Would Idia feel betrayed or would it be sense of freedom? He pondered before glancing warily at the lack of his older brother who was most likely coped up in his room and noticed the tablet. He just needed to keep calm even if what he does get sorted into a different dorm, it wouldn't change his relationship with his brothers, hopefully.
"The Shape of Your Soul is Disamonia."
......huh....... Please say sike, he's not mentally ready, he was lying...... He reluctantly headed over to his dormmates and sat down beside them. He could only assume that the dorm leader wasn't in attendance due to some unfortunate timing. He felt a gentle squeeze on his hand before relaxing, it was comforting him as if telling him; he didn't make a bad decision.
(Name) Draconia gets sorted into Pomefiore.
He tried his best to find his brother before the sorting, but couldn't find him and he didn't want to be late. He even tried to use magic to call out to his brother, but he succeeded more at potionology than actual magical prowess. How unbecoming for a Draconia especially the younger brother of Malleus Draconia. He'll get better as a person and improve upon his magic so he'll be worthy enough.
"The Shape of Your Soul is Pomefiore."
Ah, how unbecoming of him to stay far from his brother. Well, maybe, he could learn more about his dormmates. The Lavender haired one looked a bit relieved to have another first year even if he was different from him.
•••
Next one will be opposite dorms.
[part one!!]
asjkdkh lil schoenheit is going to sucked into doing music for mostro lounge there's no way out of it. i think it'd be cool if they compromised on performing though? like they get to hide behind the curtain. all i can think about now is seeing lil schoenheit's silhouette against the curtain as they sing/perform!!!!
hm imagine lil shroud with green flames to match diasomnia? idk funny thought. but with what i have planned for the lil flame, yes yes diasomnia would be the most likely dorm they would be sorted in if i don't put them in ignihyde :O and please tell me its lilia who's squeezing their hand aajdkf my heart
and and and vil taking a liking to epel and lil draconia!! so maybe he puts makeup on them and stuff right but then he decorates their horns!!! hhhh i love horn designs that have lil things dangling off them/wrapped around them <33
and opposite dorms :O can't wait can't wait :DD

depending on what you request it may be out of my comfort zone to do.

Okay so
For various reasons, Sonic Adventure (SA1) is among my dead favorite games. The two relevant to this rant are the characters and the gorgeous soundtrack (in fact, I might go on a tangent about individual songs at the end of this).
My favorite character in the game is E-102 “Gamma” (btw if you derail this post about Omega, you die), a robot built by Eggman, who runs on animal power, as Eggman’s robots usually do. However, Gamma contains a very special animal - it’s a surprise tool the will help us later. Five minutes into being born (and after training, ofc), he is forced to shoot his brother, E-101 “Beta”. Following this, he board’s Eggman’s ship (the Egg Carrier) and is tasked with catching the tailed frog. Upon collecting the frog, he is transported to the past, where he experiences childlike wonder at the chao. Back on the Egg Carrier, the rest of his siblings are cast out because of their failure to get the frog. After that, Gamma is sent to execute a prisoner. On the way, he makes a wrong turn and ends up in the machining room, where he experiences eldritch horror at the sight of his brother being disassembled and reassembled. In the prison, he finds Amy Rose, who has a blue bird flying around with her looking for its parents. She convinces him not to kill her a la Mindy Animaniacs, and protects Sonic out on the deck of the ship, further confusing Gamma. He leaves the crashing ship, now convinced to “rescue” his disowned brothers. After successfully disposing of them, he is ambushed on the Egg Carrier by Beta Mk II, who feigns death in order to shoot Gamma in the back, and they both die as a result. Lo and behold, Gamma and Beta contained the parents of the bird. Reunited, they fly off into the sunset.
TLDR: Gamma is Eggman robot who experiences eldritch horror and compassion and forsakes his master as a result. He “rescues” his siblings before dying himself, and the animal inside him reunites with its family.
Now, a little more background before we get to the main point. SEGA Sound Team popped off for this game. Each character has a theme song that plays during their respective recaps and end credits (each one has an entire storyline with slight variations on who does what (it’s all happening at once)). Side note: I’m like 70% sure SA1 is the origin of Knuckles jazz. It should also be noted that I have a youtube playlist of songs on queue for downloading, and when I run out of ideas I scroll through the recommended additions section.
E-102’s theme is in my top three favorite songs from SA1. You’ll never guess what it’s called! Theme of E-102γ. And that’s my first talking point. I was reading the comments on one of the music videos, and one of them made a connection that his theme doesn’t get a proper name because he’s just another cog in the machine. Even Big the Cat has a greater role in the main story than him. And yet, doomed by the narrative as he is, he gets his own story. As another comment pointed out, each story has its own (literary) theme: Sonic is Adventure, Tails is Independence, Knuckles is Recollection (I’m kinda iffy on that one), Amy is Protection, Big is Friendship, and Gamma? Gamma is heart and soul. Compassion. Morality, something that shouldn’t be possible, and definitely isn’t comprehensible for a robot, especially one of Eggman’s creation.
As a side tangent here, I’ve been putting rescued in quotes when it comes to Gamma and his brothers, but I realized something between the time I started writing this and now. The animals that drop from the E-series robots are birds. They’re all his brothers, inside and out. I had always assumed that Gamma had meant rescue only in the liberation sense. I never realized that he meant it both ways. I just… I’m need a moment.
As a side side tangent, I think this is one of the biggest differences between E-100 ZERO and the rest. To my knowledge, he didn’t have any animals, much less another bird, and that was what led him to the brutish oafishness that we see displayed by him.
Back to the main points, I think that all of this is reflected in the song. It starts out with all of the synth, vague vocals, electro, etc. that would be expected from the theme of a robot, and then you’ve got… PIANO. Oh my god the piano. Piano Man has its harmonica, and this song has its piano. In the midst of the circuits, the wires, the computers, there’s life, a heartbeat, a soul. And with the soul comes that twinge of sadness. Sure he freed the animals, but to do so, he had to kill his brothers with his own two (?)(does the gun count?) hands. Due to this and the cumulation of everything else, hearing the song (or the variation of it) during his final cutscene hits and hits hard.
youtube
THE REPRISE OF THE MAIN THEME PIANO AS HE DIES IN OBSCURITY. THE OTHER BIRDS ARE LIKELY THE ONLY ONES THAT END UP KNOWING ABOUT HIS DEATH
It’s okay I’m okay I’m so normal about this
Now that the main rant is over, it’s time for me to hoot about the other songs
Be Cool, Be Wild, Be Groovy …for Ice Cap
I get that it’s a snowboarding section, but still. THEY BOTHERED TO USE GUITAR IN A SNOW LEVEL. NAME ONE OTHER INSTANCE OF THAT THAT ISN’T LITTLE BIG PLANET’S THE WILDERNESS’S SITAR.
Limestone Cave …for Ice Cap
Ambience plain and simple. Good for falling asleep to
Snowy Mountain …for Ice Cap
Another ambience piece, this time with another guitar (no this doesn’t count for the challenge I posed above). Love the mix of electric and acoustic
Welcome To Station Square
“The train headed for the Mystic Ruins will be departing soon.” Came for the guitar, stayed for the trumpet.
Red Barrage Area …for Hot Shelter
SAX (shout outs to the rest of Hot Shelter’s music btw)
Militant Missionary … Boss Egg Walker & Egg Viper
Hopelessness, despair, DRAMA. Things may not have gone to plan, but Eggman is surely still the one in control.
And finally, shoutouts to Bad Taste Aquarium, Pleasure Castle, and Dilapidated Way for going full throttle right out the gate.

Tumblr and cai: nicostenz
jai: macstenz
insta: nico.stenz
twt: nico_stenz
ao3: axhty_ALT
though, I'll change my insta and twt pfps to bangchan shortly after.
Tumblr media
OTHERS (FAQ, DOS AND WONT DOS, ETC.)
FAQ ;
- am I allowed to request?
yes! You are. as long as you keep it just PG. no 18+ shit on my page. I'm a minor and I won't show/write actual porn on my page to adults who would probably do weird stuff to it as— again— i am a minor.
- Can I request suggestive content?
yes you can. but just don't abuse this feature since again, I can't always do suggestive stuff. if it's suggestive, most likely it's on a cliffhanger.
- Hey, I'm an adult! Can I interact and follow?
Yes!! just please, don't do anything weird. I.e: Flirt with me. Pls don't :/
- can I dm you?
ofc. But just know that if you spam me about something, like a request that I'll do, please note you won't be answered.
- am I allowed to request a character from a movie or show you don't know?
This depends. If its a series and it catches my eye, I'll try making it close to canon.. and not only that I'll also try watching it if its worth.. but it's only a movie I'll actually watch if you want close to canon characters.
- can I request art?/do I need to pay for a commission?
absolutely yes! You can request art from me! just be patient because as stated, I'm a minor, so I have school. not only that I'm also in a troupe which requires me training for hours, so if you don't get even a simple sketch within a week or day, don't get mad at me! Also, no need to pay me for commissions. what I'm doing is purely for fun! that's unless I need the money, then yes. maybe I might starts but please I only accept cash (if ever) through gcash, and Filipino commissioners ONLY!!!!
- hey.. is it okay to vent?
if you're my moot then yes, it's okay, just ask before since I might not be in the mood to listen or comfort. but if you're a stranger then most likely yes...? you can dm me about it but I don't think I'd do much if you vent.
- Hey! I'm part of the LGBTQIA+ community! Will you write, fem x fem, masc x masc, gn x gn etc. stories?
absolutely! people are all welcome here and as a ftm myself, I'll mostly be m reader or gn reader! though, for fem aligned followers.. i will make content, yes, but fem aligned on my mlm/male content and gender neutral stuff, can read and interact, just do not fetishise my content.
- can I request a ship?
absolutely. go ahead! I will try to write it the best I can to canon if I don't know this ship, but what I won't write is ships from shows/movies I don't know, or illegal ships. (animal x human, child x adult, sibling x sibling)
- will you write age gaps?
yea. most likely. If the age gap is 10-20 yrs I'll still write it, as long as you mean if the reader/character is an adult and its both consenting, then yes, I will.
-will you write stuff on ao3?
in the future, maybe.
MOVING ON..
WILL DO:
character x character
character x reader
canon
fanon
ooc
angst
fluff
suggestive
haikyuu
kpop
MCU (avengers, ATSV, xmen, etc)
art
requests
age gaps
ftm/mtf/gn character
ftm/mtf/gn reader
Iffy about it.. :
Daddy/mommy kink
ships/x readers from shows/movies I don't watch
$elf H (though, if it brings u comfort in a way w ur comfort character idm... just don't expect me to actually do it.)
WONT DO:
NSFW
smut
anything bdsm in general (not yet at least)
weird kinks
anything illegal (incest, step-incest, Bestiality, racist things, noncon etc.)
HOW TO FIND ME :
you won't find me in any comment section if the post is nsfw/smut or someone has mdni in their bio.
but if you do, my anon emojis are monkeys. idk if that helps but if u stumble on a requested fic with a monkey anon that's me probably 😭
(🐒🙈🙊🐵🙉 <- using those.)
Tumblr media
the end of my intro!!! I'll edit this shit if I missed out on anything. anyway, hope and expect to see more fanfics!! soon!! (if school's being g nice hahah)
- sincerely, bangchan lover/mac/steny/nico whatever u like.

😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈😈 *i ask about your hcs of v1 and v2*
ufihifdsf OK THIS IS GONNA BE A RIDE
it’s gonna be hard to convince my brain to properly differentiate between the character V1 and myself but anyways let’s ball. these r bound to change in the future once i can actually write an ultrakill prequel
dynamic-wise they’re like siblings to put it simply but we’ll get more into that later. it/they V1 (in context of the character, not myself), he/it V2
V1 was traumatized by the war they were built for and became mute as a result, and wasn’t given a chance to mentally develop properly beyond that because they were immediately put into a classified facility post-war. as a result they have difficulty expressing most emotions and even FEELING in the first place (unless it’s feeling things like anger, boredom, satisfaction, etc). oh yeah they also have a variety of autism/ADHD traits in addition to the uh. personality disorder
oh yeah V1 has a notebook stored away in their wings that they use to help with communication & expressing themself (frequently through art) :)
V2, being made during the new peace, doesn’t know what V1 knows, and vice versa. V1 only knows the shitty cruel parts of humanity and V2 has been brainwashed into thinking mankind is perfect, to the point where he doesn’t even realize that he’s experienced some traumatic incidents because he views the events (the subject matter of which might be a bit iffy :/ sorry for doing fucked up worldbuilding, it happens when something has ambiguous lore) differently from how V1 did.
V2 accidentally discovered its counterpart and immediately wanted to help out, so he found a few tricks for getting into the facility, and would semi-regularly bring blood to V1 and try to teach them how to entertain themself in V2’s absence because it was difficult for him to manipulate mansplain malewife his way into where V1 was being held.
eventually V2 found a way to sneak V1 short distances out of the facility (within the permission of the two’s creator[s] because V2 can be pretty flattering when he tries) and did his best to try and properly integrate them into society. they formed a sort of friend group with some other machines, many of whom would join V1 in the future uprising against humanity, but that’s something for later!!!
at some point V1 was taken in by a gang and used for illegal robot cockfighting. they eat up any sort of praise like their life depends on it (cough. Style meter) AND they’re pretty bloodthirsty by nature so it was easy for those people to take advantage of them. oh yeah, the cybergrind is also basically a digitally simulated version of this, but it takes from the information of enemies stored in the terminals’ databases rather than having callbacks to machines V1 had fought back then.
V2 interprets V1 finally snapping on their creators as a betrayal because. sigh. again he’s brainwashed into thinking humanity is these righteous saints. more on that in “shattered illusion”, a pre-ultrakill fic i wrote
oh yeah! about the wings & weapons! in official art they’re shown to carry the V-models’ weapons, but because there’s more than 8 weapons i think there’s a sort of hard drive pocket dimension bullshit thing that carries the molecules of whatever V1 or V2 is bringing along with them as well as how to put those molecules back together when the signal is sent to retrieve the item in question. this applies to more than just weapons, however certain objects like the torch in 4-3 and the various skulls across hell have certain components that fuck with the components that allow for this sort of transfer into & out of the personal pocket dimension. this technology also would’ve made it difficult to mass produce the V-models even IF they had made it to that stage of development in the first place.
also both of them have brains constructed out of wires & protected by a sort of jelly layer, which are backed up on a computer chip that also allows them to process the images they capture through miniature cameras that alternate with yellow LEDs in their sort of eye things. if that makes sense. points fingers together. this would also allow for my idea of a Thing where V2 is essentially revived using backup information contained on his computer chip, although to allow further learning the brain would have to be reconstructed using blueprints which are also saved on the same device
sorry i’m insane
oh yeah unrelated but V1 is super curious and there’s something extra intriguing about gabriel except they’re super dense so they take a while to realize that they’re feeling love for the first time in their life, since that sort of emotion is so far out of reach for them (thanks to Mental Illness [trademark symbol])

For Character Opinion Bingo, could I ask for "everyone but me is wrong about them" please?
Aahhhh... I'm not so sure what character that I disagree with everyone. Hence the long time to think to reply.
But, I also can't decide which since I got a couple. But I'm going to take two of them, because I think we gave them a disservice. And that is TOS Alan and Jeff. I'm a Scott girl, but man these two meant so much to me. Now this is based on what I have seen with my scouring on the internet, that includes older stuff so, take that with a grain of salt.
I have spoken about this before, but I have seen a lot of people dunking on TOS Alan because he's a "brat" (even so far as callong him "abusive", which is really off the mark). I mean yes, he tends to be a hot-head and sometimes being a jerk. But hey, teenage tendencies don't go away very easily (trust me, they don't 😆), especially if you are the youngest of five siblings and son of one of the most well known astronaut and billionaire. And with the work they are doing, its not going to be easy, even with his incredible level of professionalism (but of course, he tends to slip like in "Ricochet" XD).
And moving on to TOS Jeff, this is the kind of Dad I WISHED I had. Having to grow up with my Mom, because my Dad is distant and clueless (he's not bad and I still love him, but just... Not the best parent). But Jeff? He knows what he's doing, knows his sons so well that he steps in only when it's absolutely necessary, cares so much for his family (especially his sons), and I felt there's a hidden sweetheart/goof behind the stern, ex-military man. And it shows in some moments of the show (and in the og Thunderbirds books, you could've seen me grinning like a loon when I read the opening of Operation Asteroids XD). So to see people say that he's a bad father? No. I agree that his style of parenting maybe a bit iffy, but he's trying his best for his sons. <3
Thanks for listening XD

I'm dyslexic and that's sorta self-explanatory and explains any grammar/spelling errors in my work. While i do try to edit and catch all mistakes and errors sometimes they slip past me and don't get corrected, there for my work sometimes has a few minor errors but nothing that should actually affect the quality of my work a ton.
I[rarely]use slurs i can reclaim and will only use ones i can reclaim in my work[and that the character can reclaim- unless for drama purposes-] but I WILL NOT USE SLURS I CAN NOT RECLAIM!
I do work on my own individual story's aside from fandom shorts/oneshots so i don't always work on fanfics and sometimes have to take time for those stories!
To quickly address smt I've had issues with
While yes, I do fully support the agere/petre community's I'm not actually a involved part of them anymore due to personal issues and no longer finding it a safe place personally, I rarely regress and slip into headspace and only am a caregiver to one long distance little who is a close friend.
And while yes, I am open to writing 'nsfw content' that's not what I'm about, while yes I'll do it, I will never write anything not sfw for the agere community and want this to be a place for all kinds of people and stories. I want to write agere stuff but also don't want to have to keep my blog 1000% sfw because I write a few comfort n age/petre stories- but I also don't want to make my blog 100% nsfw because I rarely write that and part of why I do is being I'm hypersexual due to past personal stuff.
How many times did i say "while yes," in this? -
Yes.
PLEASE REQUEST- I LOVE GETTING WRITING REQS SO MUCH!!

Maid of Time Sakuya was always the easy go-to for touhoustuck player titles, but its always a bit jank to think about.
Sakuya is very much this weird outlier among the humans of Gensokyo due to her proximity to other powerful youkai and her time manipulation powers. She’s seemingly proper and demure, but all too often she’ll let slip some completely incomprehensible or just straight up bloodthirsty. It’s unclear how much of any of these are real bits or just jokes, just because of how weird and knife-happy she is.
She’s already tied well into Time via the time travel as well as her association with her knives (through Time’s association with destruction and death, like Dave’s swords) being key to her design. But for Maid, it seems to propose that, if Porrim and pre-death Aradia are any indication, Sakuya should be just as rebellious and un-subservient as possible in this role, to facilitate her own quest to reconcile with her aspect on her own terms and accept to serve them sincerely. And that’s cool, but that also means that like... tying the Scarlet sisters into that narrative of responsibility gets really weird and iffy, even if you are clear that they aren’t the Time she’s rebelling against and that they are her Blood.
Specifically Remilia, who i would put as Sakuya’s guardian of sorts in this setting. Flandre could be tied more to Time, but she’s more than likely a step-sibling from Sakuya’s adoptive father, and would probably have little claspect relevance in this story.
Still, it posits that, to start her quest, she should probably be more belligerent and rebellious overall, but rebellious to the Death she is meant to serve and dole out. It makes a lot more sense when in the context of Homestuck, where there’s an alpha timeline that would need a servant to steer towards, as the Trolls would not be successful enough to bring about Lord English without her course correcting the session to failure. Sakuya would then be fighting not to be violent, not to be destructive. It feels almost counter-intuitive to what Aradia was, but even with Jane being part of that whole reverse-arc Void session, and Porrim’s helpfully exposited arc of rebelling against being a mother grub servant only to embrace becoming a servant to creation, Aradia always feels very out of place, where she was so plot critical that she almost feels like she needed to be killed early to make sure the session could function for Lord English.
I keep getting off topic as my claspect brain begins to awaken once again, but the point is that to be a Maid, it seems as if you need some sort of external force of that Aspect to be forced upon you in your pre-entry life, and it honestly makes me think if Sakuya is like Yor Forger in this setting where she’s a hitman to pay the bills for her relatives, but resents it or something. Maybe not, but her love of blood and knives and death should be a key point that she almost has to reject, only to stop and actually embrace later on instead of lash out at. Lashing out against violence is i guess to be responsible and peaceful. Like a ghost, or a surrogate mother to her younger siblings, doing a whole aspect reversal thing if you believe in that denomination of homestuckianity.

Anon with the Mom going to the medium ghost story here 👋 I’m doing a lot better now, thank you for asking, I just accept that my body will decide not to work 50% of the time 😂. Heres a few more stories that I’ve collected from people. Not sure if you’d consider them all ghost stories, but it definitely makes my science brain think that there’s something going on in this world that we don’t understand.
This one is about my cousins, and not necessarily a ghost story, but weird nonetheless. One of my cousins was paralyzed and couldnt speak. We were told he couldnt even understand what was being said to him and his parents kept him alive on life support for a Long Time (I genuinely have no idea what was medically going on with him). His older sister was really the only one who ever visited him and talked to him (aside from his parents every once in a while). Well, a few years ago she died in a car accident. After she was declared dead, their parents went to go see the one who was on life support. He died an hour after her. My dad was never religious until this happened, but he thoroughly believes that his big sister came to take him to a better place. I dont know what I think about it, but its at minimum a freaky coincidence.
This one is a ghost story, its from my best friend’s family and happened 15 some years ago. My friend used to have a cousin who was a few years older than her. He lived with her family and had some issues, but was generally a sweet kid (so Im told). Well, long story short, one day her family woke up to find that he hung himself in the basement over night. Fast forward about 5 or 6 years and my bestie’s little brother is about 4 and keeps insisting that he has to play in the basement. When asked why, he says that his friend lives down there and is stuck down there. Their mom was curious, and asked what his friend looked like. He perfectly described the cousin and was even able to give details about the boy’s life.
Okay this one is also iffy on what you’d consider it, but it follows the trend of my mom having weird dreams. My siblings are way older than me and both had kids while still living at home (I am the only one who didnt have a kid as a teen 🎉). Their oldest ones were actually only born 6 month apart. My niece was born first, and this takes place between her being born in July and my nephew being born in January (we didnt know if he was going to be a boy or girl until he was born, the mom wanted it to be a surprise). My mom had a dream of two young kids, one boy one girl, maybe around the age of 4 or 5, and they were just standing in her bedroom watching her. She saw the girl whisper to the boy “There she is, shes going to take good care of us.” After she woke up, she was adamant that my brother was going to have a boy (she was correct) and wrote down descriptions of the kids, she couldnt shake the feeling that the dream was important (this is about 8 years before I was really sick and she was having dreams about her dad) Fast forward 4 years and my mom has been practically raising these kids cause my siblings were still so young too. And surprise surprise, my niece and nephew looked exactly like the description that she had written in her journal.

Flippy’s Review of Bendy and the Dark Revival! Spoilers below
I absolutely love it! The game, the lore, everything. It was definitely worth the wait since we got all chapters at once and didn’t have to wait months or years on end for the next chapter.
So my thoughts about the game.
Bendy and the Ink Demon being the same person. Completely and utterly glad for it. If they had made the Demon and Bendy different people that would have ruined it. Especially if it was because of Wison. The Ink Demon was the first and only Bendy they could make., no matter how much Joey wanted Thomas and Gent o try again, they could not make another Bendy. I’m a little iffy on how Wilson and the Keepers forced Bendy into his smaller form when Joey nor Gent could... I guess it was because of the rainbow colors towers that Gent made that Wilson used but I wonder how he got them. I understand that Wilson somehow changed the story in the Cycle but how did he put them in there. Did Joey have them and if he did, why didn’t Joey use them when he was going through his redemption arc to give Henry a better life in the Cycle?
Audrey, girl I love you I hope you return. Gosh this girl she just...she has so many emotions. And the way she was so kind to Allison and Baby Benders. You could hear how sorry she was for accidently hurting Bendy. I will say that I don’t like her being a half Ink Creature. I’m totally fine with her being Drew’s daughter. My theories were, she was either Joey’s or Henry’s but I rather her be a human before she went into the studio than an Ink Creature since the beginning. Because now I’m wondering how Joey made her. Its said that the Machine needed souls to create cartoons, and ones that fit the characters perfectly. Like Buddy Boris and Allison Alice... and even if they aren’t becoming cartoons they would end up like Sammy and the Lost Ones, or worse the Searchers. I would have enjoyed it more if Audrey was his daughter but a human, maybe from a one-night stand or from a divorce. If you want to still go on the redemption arc (I didn’t really enjoy that, I loved loved loved it when Beast Bendy crushed that memory of Joey, it’s what he deserves) of Joey instead of Allison it was Audrey coming to visit her dad. Audrey who has no idea what her dad has done over the years, the murders he did and just seeing the good in him, wanting to hear his funny but scary stories which she had no idea were really true.
Oh and Allison and Henery just being copies. I could had done without as well. I love my old man Henry; glad he was in the game but also sad that he isn’t free...and can never be free. All those times I played Bendy and the Ink Machine, trying to find a secret ending that would allow me to get Henry out and learning that it was all for nothing. Because Henry isn’t the real one but a fake copy. While I’m glad the real Henry is free, I’m sad that the old dad that I grew in love with can never be free because he belongs in that world. I hope that Audrey can make the Ink World a better place, at least for Henry.
Now back to my boy the Ink Demon. The Meatly and team knew what they were doing when they gave him that voice and that body. The way he and Audrey reacted with each other...the way my fucking monsterfucker ass reacted...damn. Note to those who see Audrey and the Ink Demon as siblings. I do not and never will. Audrey is Joey’s daughter but in my eyes the Ink Demon will never be Joey’s child. Not with how he treated Bendy and the fact that Bendy is a being made of ink and demonic magic? No relationship between Bendy and Audrey in my eyes instead of possessive boyfriend who may eat you. So if I ship Audrey with the Ink Demon I better not get any flake from those who see them as siblings. You have your headcanons I have mine. Anyway while i wish they kept how Bendy hunted us down, wish there was more times for him to hunt us. More times where I can fucking simp for his voice and his body...D E V O U R  M E  D A D D Y! 
I wish Buddy Boris was there..maybe he could had shown up in the city, maybe try to warn Audrey that Bendy wasn’t what he seem. I know there was some scenes where you could seen him walk by but I wish she had more of an active role in the game. Heck I wish that not all the Lost Ones were so violent...like not all of them should had sided with Wilson! The city should have been a safe place until you went to Gent. Like...maybe even have a point in the game that Boris frees Henry and Sammy and they have to go save Audrey from the Keepers who put her in a cage or something, allowing you to play as Henry one more time. But before they could save her she gets captured by Malice. That way we wouldn’t have poor Audrey still beilieve in fucking Wilson. My really only nitpick about the game. Audrey still believed in that creep Wilson. I would had liked it more if the Ink people on Wilson’s side were actually hunting Audrey down, and they do capture her at one point instead of going...oh Audrey still trustes this guy even though he killed her! Like...no girl your smarter than that he’s creepy someone get her outta of there!
Other than those few things I completely love the new game, 8/10 in my option and I can’t wait to get game once it comes out on console so I can play the game myself. I only been watching people play it on stream (my computer will kill me if I even tried to play games on it) and I’m very excited when it comes out on console (please be Xbox please be Xbox) I’m once again drowining in the Ink of Joey Drew Studios and can’t wait to see what’s more in store, since it seems that Gent finally has the Machine now

ok organized my thoughts and reread some bits so this is the better worded long post where i complain abt why novel 6 and novel 7 rubbed me the wrong way, but specifically in regards to how it handled shintaro as a Main Character
firstly the 180 from kano's hatred towards shintaro to a current admiration is very jarring. it feels very rushed, and its very weird how kano practically has 0 lingering resentment towards him. like just two days ago he was psychologically torturing shintaro, and now he thinks of him like this?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
^all of this is kano's gay ass pov regarding shintaro btw
like i completely understand now why people ship kanoshin now bc this 100% reads like a kid crushing on their older sibling's friend. it might just be really strange localization, but with the lack of fan translations for this novel, this is all i can go off from. but it honestly feels so bizarre and like, not in a funnily comforting way but like... a strange misogynistic way?! but ill get to that in a second.
anyways i understand that kano just had the biggest breakdown of his life in the ending of novel 5, and his facade essentially broke apart entirely. and now without the need to put up a front, kano is able to recognize how much shintaro has changed from the guy from two years ago who would turn away from everything in front of him. but despite that rationalization, its still an overall pretty weird dynamic bc well..... what connects these two individuals is a currently deceased ayano, but i feel like she doesnt play a significant enough role in their assessments of one another.
and this is what i mean by the fact that this kanoshin dynamic feels strangely misogynistic. if shintaro's feelings towards kano was like, "i owe it to you to get your sister back, because it was my arrogance in the past that led her to not confide in me", then that wouldve been fine, and would have also been what i expected. but instead it feels more like a "hey, youre not that bad of a guy, shintaro!" "haha you too kano! guffaw guffaw", like.. what?
but to get to the crux of it, what bothers me the most abt their dynamic is that kano (and the rest of the dan) is now suddenly relying on shintaro. like all of a sudden he's being given rein to create a gameplan for them to survive the summer. like what? this is what i mean by shintaro's Main Character Complex, where hes placed into this type of position seemingly just bc he is the Main Character of the story.
i have many issues with the fact that shintaro was the main planner for this infiltration scheme. i think it was a big mistake that only a few members worked on it, cuz something this important shouldve involved the whole group's input, so its off-putting that it didnt. hibiya apparently played a big role, but this was only mentioned in passing by kano, instead of actually being shown. maybe the final novel might show a more comprehensive picture of this plan being put together by the whole group, and if it does, ill be happy to eat my words.
but not just that, but also how extremely similar this plan is to the one that momo devised against the terrorists in novel 1. both of them hinged themselves on the same trick, with kido appearing out of thin air with mary by her side. but momo devised her plan in a much more stressful setting, in a hostage situation with only a cellphone, with way less members at her disposal and an even lesser understanding of everyone's powers. and yet momo is not shown to have put in any input in this new plan, and the similarities and her clever ideas from the first plan are not acknowledged at all, like??? despite momo being shown to be just as capable as shintaro, if not even more so, it feels like she got pushed to the side so shintaro could have more time Being The Main Character. not to mention that im also iffy with the fact that shintaro spent more time around kids her age than momo herself did, with momo instead running around with hibiya since novel 4?!
so instead of the concoction of the final climatic infiltration plan being a group effort, and rather than having momo play a bigger role which she very much deserved to, shintaro is randomly made leader of this plot instead. bc he is the Main Character; which is then justified bc of the intellect he possesses, which honestly feels like something that was hamfisted into the narrative.
shintaro's intellect has a difficult time fitting into the story. this intellect is meant to be the reason why he was brazenly arrogant, this arrogance then being the flaw of his former self (did not reach out to ayano in a way that mattered), but the strength of his current self (the confidence and resourcefulness to create a climatic infiltration plan). but as i pointed out, it's manner of fitting itself into the current day plot, came at the expense of making kano bizarrely forgiving, and copying momo's brilliance but without any of the acknowledgement.
and this then relates itself to novel 6, which similarly threw itself out of balance in order to have a pretty big focus on harushin. like i understand the importance of harushin, its supposed to be a significant parallel to shintaro's strange friendship with konoha. i get that. but it feels a bit Too skewed to harushin? i can recognize the harutaka but like ive said before, considering that takane's whole novel practically revolved around haruka, with shinaya playing a very small part, it feels unbalanced when haruka's novel almost focuses more on shintaro than it does takane?? but ok thats not the main thing thats out of balance that really gripes me, whats really irritating me is this:
WHEREEEEE THE HELL IS SHINAYA. LIKE. THERES NO SHINAYA?? like it just feels so unbalanced?? we got our harutaka, cool (all of novel 2 + some of novel 6). a few helpings of ayataka along the way, nice (ayano encouraging takane to confess her feelings 2 years ago + ayano's email to ene). novel 6 coming in with some sweet hot harushin, and a little sprinkle of haruaya, very nice. now wheres the shinaya? where is it. huh. Where... THERE... IS NO.... SHINAYA..... they are like, completely and utterly subtextual. it is almost parody. LIKE...
like on one hand i understand that this could be interpreted as a cool, deliberate effect; shinaya's relationship haunts the story and they haunt one another, they talk about how their absence affect each other and all that, but we never actually see them interact meaningfully in the story.
Tumblr media
^relevant remind blue lyrics pertaining to shinaya (IN MY GRANDIOSE AND CORRECT OPINION)
i get that, thats cool. its just.... UGHHH its just super extremely frustrating. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING. shintaro literally does not let up at all like he is INCREDIBLY unlikeable when he is a student so ayano's crush on him just feels incredibly deranged. HE DIDNT EVEN REMEMBER HER BIRTHDAY????? like for me to be ok with this, all of this needs to be remorsefully acknowledged or something and we need to get our penultimate shinaya moment in the daze or SOMETHING cuz this is. getting.. ridiculous..
ok but basically to wrap it up, very annoying that shintaro spent more time with kido, mary, and kano than momo did; very annoying that hes being relied on for making a crucial gameplan that practically ripped momo's brilliant ideas off with no acknowledgement; and very annoying that he played a massive role in haruka's novel, while shinaya continues to be the most subtextual of subtexts. GRAHHH

Ohhh! Boss fight for Rel and Nisha ! I'd like to know what could make them switch sides, and how they'd work together! 🥰
Oooh boy, all righty! :D <3 Let's see here...
Honestly, I think the only context in which they'd both switch sides is if they ended up becoming Mordrem during HoT--which admittedly has decent angst potential but is also making my brain yell "NO" at the top of its metaphorical lungs, aslkdjfasf xD So, because of that, I'll write what it would look like for their canon selves to team up for a boss battle around that same time period, even if the context is a little iffy (maybe it's in a fractal or something? who knows!).
Phase 1
In Phase 1, your biggest concern is going to be hitting either of them. Nisha's got several turrets set up that are an additional concern, and xe's going to be mobile as hell (and shooting you with a pistol a lot, probably). Rel's the healer, so in theory to make the fight easier you should take him out first, but he's near-invulnerable during this first part. (And he still does damage--he's a tempest, and a good one--though it's slightly less damage than his sibling.)
In order to actually make the fight progress, you have to take out the turrets while Nisha's in range of the fall-out explosion. (Either that or take at least thirty minutes to very very slowly whittle xyr health down; up to you xD )
Phase 2
When you get Nisha to 50% health (and have gotten rid of most/all of xyr turrets), xe and Rel are going to start fighting in closer with you. Nisha has a sword and is not afraid to use it, and Rel's going to drop the shield he had in Phase 1. You can do more damage to him here, but he'll also do more damage to you, so be careful. Every minute you take in this phase, Nisha will place another turret (up to four turrets total, so it's not just an infinite increase). Each of these are specific turrets that xe designed; they shoot paralytic and/or poisonous darts, so be careful of getting hit by them.
Phase 3
When Nisha's at 0% health (or Rel is at 25%, whichever you manage to reach first), this phase starts. Here, Rel's your main opponent. Nisha will be off the field, but still targeting you with a rifle, so be wary of xyr shots from above. Rel, having more space, will do more elemental AoE attacks, so this last phase will have you struggling with burning and chill, mostly. If turrets were placed during the last phase, they'll still be there, and you'll have to worry about those too.
When Rel reaches 0%, Nisha will throw down a smoke bomb to blind you, and they'll both escape. (Xe’d probably say something, too, but my brain’s dead from classes and I’m drawing a blank at the moment!)

🌱a zhongchi twitch streamer au
ive had this idea for so long and it was originally supposed to be a text fic but im bad with those so it never came out. until now, i guess ehe -lynn🌱
Tumblr media
childe's been streaming for maybe three years??
over the course of that time his fanbase has watched him go from 'kid having fun in his basement' to one of the biggest streamers of all time
he's most known as one of the "faces" of Genshin Impact
manz has 'voice actor🎙️' in his twitch bio but everyone knows the only character hes voiced is Tartaglia (basically a promo character think like aloy)
ok- childes so charismatic and his personality shows through stream PERFECTLY
everytime he talks abt teucer his eyes light up and occassionally he appears on stream and chat squeals
aside from being his incredibly genuine self tho,,,,
his stream reeks of fanservice
its all very intentional.
he has this channel point redeem where chat can get him to do anything they want (with few exceptions)
because of this hes had to say multiple embarrassing things
and also flirt with the camera.
his fandom is iffy but childe is very kind to them
he treats everyone like his little brother and sister even if theyre older than him its so cute
and is also very openly bi.
he has a bunch of channel point redeems bc this man literally has no dignity
one day smn redeems the 'questions' one asking what his type is
"uhh i dont really have one? must be teucer-approved!"
chat starts playfully booing at him for giving a boring answer when someone else redeems;
"can you give an example?"
and now, from chat's peer pressure and the part of him wanting to dote on his lil siblings he goes
"okay okay! uh- god this is embarrassing- zhongli?"
chat: from rex lapis?
childe nods, blushing.
rex lapis is a much smaller streamer than childe- and in a totally different genre- you see-
childe is a gamer. rex lapis is a therapy streamer
I CAN TOTALLY IMAGINE ZHONGLI GIVING FINANCIAL ADVICE OK
his chat is like talking abt money struggles and he shares his past experiences with being a spendthrift and suddenly-
$200 Donation from Childe✔️
"....*ahem* thank you for the dono, you could not have worse timing."
CHILDE WOULD.
also bc childe has a lot of issues in the genshin world but hes generally just a fun chaotic guy -> i feel like that would translate into the streamer au
so him watching therapeutic streams
he also just thinks zhongli is pretty🤷‍♀️ (cant blame him hes right)
I FEEL LIKE AFTER HE SAYS ON STREAM HIS TYPE IS ZHONGLI HIS FANDOM REWATCHES ZHONGLIS CLIPS AND TRIES TO FIND CHILDE IN THE CHAT OR IN THE DONATIONS
and now his whole fandom knows hes a simp
chat: "wow childe so this is where our dono money has been going??" PLS
one day hes streaming at the same time as rex lapis and chat asks him to stream the stream
after a lot of convincing, he does (mostly bc he also wants to watch) but is like "if any of you snitch im ending stream immediately."
its cool for like an hour, childe plays genshin with zhongli in the background- and then
"oh, another streamer is streaming my stream? uh, hello"
CHILDES HEAD SNAPS TO THE CHAT AND IS LIKE "WHO SNITCHED."
the person who snitched donates childe like 100$ and is like 'SPARE ME PLS IM SORRY'
and since childe sees them as his little sibling hes like 'okok but im giving ur dono money to zhongli'
so childe just donates the 100$ to zhongli and hes like
"...should i stream his stream too?"
AND CHILDE PANICS.
afterwards they definitely become friends and play genshin together and zhongli mains childe's promo character
imagine childes streaming and zhongli calls-
"hey, xiansheng? im live right now so if its something private.."
"ah. nevermind then, ill ask later."
"wait no- ill turn of stream if you wanna say something-"
"..i just wanted you to kill the oceanid for me."
and childes like 😀"what do you think chat? genshin stream?"
the poll is 99% in favour of a genshin collab stream with zhongli
THEYRE SO CUTE TOO bc zhonglis like 'sorry im not that strong' and childes like "YOURE ONLY AR 29 OFC YOURE NOT STRONG YOU DONT NEED TO APOLOGIZE WHY ARE YOU SO NICE"
...perhaps im projecting a little
either way theyre adorable. everyone thinks theyre dating before theyre actually dating
then sometimes zhongli accidentally opens the genshin chat while streaming genshin (bc hes not used to the buttons- grandpa moment)
and theres just a msg from childe like 'I'll call you later, ok?'
AND THE CHAT IS LIKE OMG
these two deserve all the love
if you're interested in seeing more of my content; like headcanons, WIPs, etc. ;

Part One Part Two Part Three Part Four Part Five Part Six
“Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality!”
The singing voices of the Apollo cabin harmonize as Atticus stands in the middle of their cabin, eyes closed with his arms swaying side to side in the air. You sit against the window frame at the end of the room, your lips curl in a soft smile as Harvey prances around his feet, enjoying the spotlight as much as Atticus is. You were glad that Atticus was still up for karaoke night despite his mood. Although you didn’t plan on coming yourself, you had hoped that he would as he needed it as an outlet to let loose. A part of you wasn’t surprised when Atticus was begging you to come with him, insisting that your plan of staying in and sleeping early was too lame for a Friday night at camp. You didn't want to make him upset so you decided to suck it up and go with him. Besides, you did need to get out.
The past few days, you’ve had your nose in books, drowning out your thoughts with everything from studying demonology to enjoying fantasy novels. You’ve been keeping an eye on Lou Ellen as well, noticing that she too was avoiding her feelings by drowning herself with books back to back. And now, as a result of your similar coping mechanism, you two have an exclusive book club where you spend hours reading and mercilessly criticizing Twilight. Meanwhile, Atticus has been up and around, constantly surrounding himself with people to distract him. He seemingly was doing fine on the surface, but it was a facade. Sorrow was radiating off of him like never before. Even if you didn’t have the ability to sense his emotions, his song choice for tonight was a dead giveaway. Bohemian Rhapsody is his comfort song.
“I’m just a poor boy. I need no sympathy!” Atticus sings passionately into the microphone. Cheers break throughout the cabin, and you giggle, joining in, cupping your mouth as you whoop for him. You look over at Lou Ellen, talking and laughing with a few girls across the room. You smile, content that for right now, the two of them are occupied and happy. You, however, couldn’t get into the mood. Sure, the chaos of the Apollo Cabin easily entertained you, but you were having trouble shaking off the heavy feeling in your chest. You frown, your hand coming down to pet the top of Ambrose’s head, the other nuzzling his snout against your leg to comfort you. You look down at him, smiling softly as a silent thank you, and you sigh, hoping to lighten the feeling in your chest, but to no avail, it remained.
A nudge on your shoulder draws in your attention, and you turn to face the boys standing to your left. You meet Lee Fletcher’s bright blue orbs, a smile plastered on his flushed face.
“You’re next!” He shouts over the music, pointing his index finger at you in the same hand he held a red solo cup in. You scrunch your face, moving a little closer to him and the group so they’ll be able to hear you.
“I’m not really in the performance mood tonight,” you say, and the immediate protests from the boys around him made you smile. They insisted that you had to sing tonight and that they were going to make sure you went after your brother. On any other night, you would have agreed, gladly taking the mic. You weren’t a stranger to singing karaoke, and you had to admit you did enjoy it just as much as Atticus did. Last week, you sang an interesting rendition of Wannabe by the Spice Girls with Lou Ellen, Silena, Katie, and Sage. You were Scary Spice, of course; you wouldn’t have been anyone else. But tonight, you were unable to see yourself singing. Now that the boys returned to whatever they were talking about, you were planning your escape. You tune back into the song, realizing that Atticus was almost finished.
“Nothing really matters; anyone can see. Nothing really matters. Nothing really matters, to mee.”
You take a deep breath for a moment, accepting your fate. It’s only one song, you tell yourself; it’ll be quick. You cringe, expecting to be pushed up to the front by the others any second now. Suddenly, chanting fills the cabin,
“Encore, encore!"
Atticus smiles, bowing like a Broadway actor as the crowd cheers. You sigh, relieved, and you hoped whatever he picked would be able to conceal your exit. There was no way Atticus was going to pass up the microphone, and over the chanting, he announced his next song choice: Dancing Queen.
He’s so depressed.
You didn’t want to miss your opportunity, slowly scooting yourself away from Lee Fletcher and the others. As the instrumental of Dancing Queen fills the cabin, a chunk of people get up from the bunk beds and the floor to dance and sing along. You take your chance now that everyone is distracted, and you walk into the crowd, carefully weaving through bodies.
The cool summer night air was refreshing on your skin compared to the stuffiness of the crowded cabin. The collective singing of Dancing Queen becomes faint as you make it across the camp. You didn't realize how loud the song was while you were in there, and you could just imagine what the other cabins were doing. You couldn’t help but smile at the idea of an annoyed Ares' cabin, all of them with pillows covering their ears in an attempt to drown out the music and screaming.
By the time you reached the beginning of the woods, the disco instrumental was long gone, and you took in the stillness of the night. There was barely a breeze tonight; the only sounds were the faint chattering of campers hanging around the hearth and taking walks. You stare into the forest, uncertain if you should venture by yourself. You hear a soft whine come from Ambrose, signaling you that it was a bad idea. It was a couple of hours away from curfew, and you can already hear the faint roars of monsters. That wasn’t enough to turn you away, though. Your desire to be somewhere silent was more prominent than your fear of the monsters.
You walk in without another thought, your pace slow and slack, and Ambrose unwillingly follows close behind you, checking around to make sure you are safe. As you walk farther in the forest, the thoughts you had sent to the back of your mind were returning with a vengeance.
The departure of your siblings felt surreal. When you had woken up to their empty beds the next day, you had chosen to believe they had left for breakfast earlier than usual and that everything that happened was a dream. Yet, as the days went by, the absence of your siblings became more apparent. A part of you refused to grieve. You had wanted to declare your brothers as monsters and convince yourself that you didn’t care. You had hoped that deciding to hate them would allow you to move on, but even that came with a desolate aftertaste.
You had blacked out in your thoughts, allowing your feet to take you where they wished, and you find yourself at a familiar boulder. You look to your left at the picnic table, staring longingly at it. It was quiet for a moment before the sight of your brother and sisters sitting on the top of the picnic table, their feet resting on the bench, appeared. They sat quietly, Atticus frowning as he looked out in the forest.
“Focus on your breathing. You won’t shift if you’re impatient.” Your gaze snaps in the direction of the voice. You saw yourself slouched in defeat as Alabaster’s hands gripped your shoulders. His green eyes peered into yours.
You were the only one that hadn’t become ethereal after trying for the past 30 minutes. Atticus had transformed on his second try, Lou Ellen on her third, and the others followed close after. But you had lost count, growing more tired and discouraged after every failed attempt. Alabaster noticed you were on the verge of tears, your lip trembling, and he easily saw that you were crawling into a bad headspace.
“I can’t do it,” you sniffled, feeling embarrassed as your siblings waited for you. You were aware they weren’t judging you and had instead been encouraging you the entire time, but you still felt ashamed. The voices in your mind taunted you, making you forget any positive feedback you received that day. You were the weakest link of the group. You were never going to be powerful as your brothers, and so you’ll never be recognized by your mother, it said.
“You can, Y/n. You’re getting too in your head,” Al reassured you, his hands falling to his side, taking a step back. You were confident that he had given up on you, and you didn’t blame him. You looked down at the ground and fiddled with your fingers. It was silent for a moment before you heard him sigh.
“Try again,” he said softly.
You groaned and rolled your eyes at yourself. You were drained from trying so long, and you were ready to accept your defeat and stomp away. You looked at Alabaster again as he patiently waited for you.
You swallowed hard, and you closed your eyes as you heard the encouraging words of your siblings. Their words failed to cancel out the negative thoughts in your own head, though. You were already bothered by the little voice that said you would never transform. You dwelled on being the last one and what made you feel worse was that it was nighttime - when your magic is at its strongest - yet you still hadn’t transformed. Maybe you weren’t as powerful as your brothers gave you credit for. Disappointment swirled in your stomach, clouding your brain, and your fist clenched as you tried to shake off the thoughts in your head. You were well aware that your mindset was holding you back. You inhaled deeply, somehow finding the will to set aside your negative thoughts.
You decided you won’t allow yourself to be the only person who couldn’t transform. You weren’t going to let your insecurity of being the “weakest link” get to you, at least not on that night. You huffed out and felt a tug in your core before your fingertips and toes began to vibrate. You gasped, and your eyebrows furrowed tightly, the vibrating sensation gradually becoming more intense to the point where it almost hurt.
You heard an excited cheer come from one of your sister's lips as the feeling crept up your arms and legs. It finally met your core, and it was as if a ball of warm, electric energy sat right in the pit of your stomach. You opened your eyes, immediately seeing the bright smile on Alabaster’s face. A relieved laugh came from your lips as a few tears ran down your face from your previously pent-up anger.
“I told you.”
You snap back to reality, looking around you to see that you were still alone. No one was at the picnic table other than Ambrose, who was laid down at the foot of it, watching you cautiously. You swore you heard the sound of Al’s voice as if he was right in front of you, but that wasn’t possible. As much as you wished for it to be, you knew your siblings were long gone.
Though you were incredibly grateful for Atticus and Lou Ellen deciding to stay, the dynamic that your siblings had as a whole was something that you wouldn’t be able to get back. Now it was the three of you, left to figure things out on your own. It’s not as if you three were incapable of figuring things out, but you’ll miss your brother's guidance.
You think perhaps if your mother didn’t give them the okay to leave, they would have never left. You couldn’t help but be mad at her, and lately, you’ve been a little petty towards your mom. Tonight, you had decided to go to dinner and dedicate your burned offering to Hestia instead. You’ve been praying to her every night as well, hoping that maybe she’d be able to bring your siblings back to you.
You hadn’t noticed anything out of the ordinary to inform you if your mother was aware of your silence or if she cared. You also found yourself wondering what she thought of you for not leaving. How could she not visit you? Were you really not worth, maybe, five minutes of her time? Did you have to prove yourself worthy? If so, how? You were yearning to know, but even for that, you were unable to find the answer.
Your jaw clenches, feeling your sorrow shifting to rage in your core. Take a deep breath, Ernest would say, and you do, filling your lungs to their capacity, and you hold it. Think of your surroundings. Meditate on the question: If I erupt, will I hurt someone? If the answer is yes, take a step back, breath in for 10 seconds, out for another 10 until you’re calm. If the answer is no… well, fuck it. Everyone needs to be angry sometimes.
Your head tilts slightly, taking in the clear night sky for a moment. From your peripheral vision, you can see your green aura wildly swirling and flickering around you. You close your eyes, and your chest expands, ready to release the air you’ve been holding. There was no rustling of the trees or grass, no monster screams, no sounds of the surrounding camper. The forest was still until it wasn’t as you let out a deafening scream.
After hearing the news of your siblings running away from camp at the counselor's meeting a few days ago, Percy had made a mental note to check up on you. In the time between his activities, he had checked the strawberry fields, the arts and craft center, even the arena in an attempt to find you. For a moment, he had thought you had left with them, but when he saw that Atticus was still at camp, he knew you had to be somewhere. It wasn’t until he passed by the Hermes dinner table the other day did he decide to ask your brother where you were. By then, you had not shown up for your meals for two days straight. Atticus told him that you weren’t doing too good, deciding to isolate yourself in the company of Lou Ellen. He had offered to let Percy come with him to drop off your dinner, but he had decided not to go.
He figured that you needed time for yourself, and he didn’t want to intrude. He was also worried if it would have been weird to check up on you. Surely, you were friends? You considered him as a friend, right? He hoped so since he had considered you one. He thought maybe he was overthinking it but then he began to worry that you would blame him. He had to do some mental gymnastics to come up with a reason why you would be mad at him, but he was able to come up with something. He would understand if you were mad at him since he is, well, suspected to be the child of the prophecy. So obviously, none of this would have happened if he wasn’t born? Right? He had told Annabeth about it, and from the way she blankly stared at him, he knew that the reason wasn’t solid, but still, he was nervous.
He was surprised to see you walk out of the Apollo Cabin. After hearing that you were hiding away, he didn’t expect you to attend one of the most lively events tonight. From afar, you seemed upset, but you also glinted with determination as you walked with purpose. He was seated with Annabeth, Grover, and Thalia by the campfire, listening to Annabeth ramble about the architecture of the Palace of Versailles to Thalia and Grover. It was her newest hyper fixation, and Percy had been listening though he got a little lost at some point. He didn’t want to lose his chance to approach you, not sure when the next opportunity would be so he quickly finished up the s’more he was eating before getting up from the bench.
“Um, I’ll be back,” he says. The only person who had heard him was Grover, who nodded to acknowledge him while Annabeth didn’t miss a beat in her ranting.
He checked in the usual places you would hang out in, but you were nowhere to be found. He found himself walking along the gravel road in front of the forest. He slows down, turning toward the trees and he hums,
“Did she go in there by herself?” He mutters softly, becoming concerned. It was kind of an unspoken rule that campers shouldn’t venture out on their own.
He looks over when he hears chattering, the wood nymphs slowly making their way out of the forest. They seemed to be gossiping about something as they huddle in a circle right outside of the trees. Percy found it strange that they were away from their homes, especially at this time, and he noticed they all looked a little stunned.
“Hey,” he smiles as he walks over to them. He halts hesitantly, the girls becoming quiet as they turn to him. “Have you guys seen, y/n?”
They exchange looks with each other, Juniper shifting on her feet as she stands in front of him. “Yeah…” she trails off, facing the dark trees. “Just keep walking. You’ll hear her.”
Percy furrows his eyebrows, unsure what they meant by that, but he takes their advice anyway. It didn’t take him long to find out what they meant, hearing your yelling before he saw you illuminating in the dark. He had imagined that you would be upset, but he definitely did not expect you to be yelling at the sky, rapidly throwing blasts of energy at a boulder.
Seeing you like this was odd. It was so different from the calm and collected demeanor that you gave off. He had considered you as the quieter twin. Compared to your brother, you weren’t as out there. He hadn’t seen you have many interactions with Atticus, but he could tell that you took on the big sister role. You just seemed more mature.
“How could you- how could you offer something like that?! I’ve never seen you once an- the first message I get from you is to join his stupid army! You took them from us!” You ignore the burning in your throat and the trembling of your arms. You felt lightheaded, and you didn’t know if it was due to how hard you were yelling or the amount of energy you were burning out. “I HOPE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU’RE DOING!” You shout weakly, looking up at the sky, hoping that your mother was listening to you. You wanted her to know how you felt betrayed, angry, and heartbroken.
Despite your anger, you still held back on what you said. You were wary not to push too far, preferring to not meet your mother's wrath the first time she visited you. You wanted an explanation; you wanted to hear the orders and the promises she made from herself. But you doubted she would appear.
Hot tears roll down your cheeks, your breath ragged, and you wail, blasting the last long beam you were able to muster at the boulder. You stumble from your own force, a sob leaving your lips, and your forearm wipes your tears.
“I really hope you know what you’re doing,” you strain in a whisper.
You gasp as you hear a twig snap behind you. You freeze in your spot, your heart beating hard in your chest. You were confident that you had summoned your mother. You took a deep breath, ready to face her, but to your surprise, you were met with Percy.
Percy's body tenses the moment you snap your gaze to him, swallowing hard as your glowing eyes bore right into his. He was hoping that his speculations of you being mad at him were wrong. The burning smell from your beams filled the air, and he definitely did not want to be charred up like that boulder. To his relief, he watches your clouded expression soften. He shifts, rubbing the back of his neck.
“Are you okay?” He asks, immediately cringing at himself afterward. Of course, she isn’t okay, why would you ask her that?
You sniffle, and you nod, “Yeah, I’m just doing my nightly prayers.” Though you tried to lighten up the mood, your voice was sad and hoarse.
Percy frowns, and he steps over a log in his way. He walks over to you as you plop down to sit on the grass with your legs crossed. Ambrose comes to your side, resting his head on your thigh, and you pet him softly.
“I heard what happened,” Percy’s tone is soft as he hesitantly invites himself to sit beside you. He wasn’t sure you wanted to be comforted right now, but you didn’t tell him to go away, so he took that as a good sign. He hums, looking down at his hands, “Travis reported it during the counselor meeting the day after,” he mentions. “Atticus told me you weren’t doing too well. I can’t do much, but if you want to talk about it, I’m listening.”
You didn’t want to dump everything on Percy, but the genuine concern in his tone made you feel comfortable enough to consider laying all your thoughts out on the table.
You haven't had the chance to discuss your feelings yet. There was a silent understanding between you, Atticus, and Lou Ellen that none of you were ready to bring it up and would rather go along your days pretending it didn’t happen. But as you continued to avoid it, it began to fester like an infected wound.
You were so lost in your thoughts, you didn’t realize for how long you were quiet. In your silence, Percy waited patiently, not wanting you to feel pressured. Every once in a while, he would look over, noticing the flickering of your aura slowing down until it’s absorbed into your body, leaving you both with the soft white light coming from Ambrose’s body. If you decided not to talk about it, he told himself he wouldn’t pry, but he would be worried about you for keeping everything in.
You didn’t know how much Travis had said at the counselors meeting. Your mind was rushing with thoughts, asking yourself where you should start while also deciding if you should be completely honest with him. It wasn’t until now that you were faced with all the conflicting feelings you’ve had in the past few days. They came at you all at once, and a sniffle cuts through your silence. You sigh shakily, resting your head on Percy’s shoulder.
Percy looks down at you, able to make out some of your features in the dark. Your eyelids were a little puffy from crying, and you look exhausted. He frowns as a small sob leaves your lips, shifting to wrap his arm around your shoulders. He debated if he should say anything to you. He didn't find that this was a situation where an “it’s okay” was appropriate. Kronos was rising, war was on its way, and Luke was recruiting campers, 5 of those campers being your siblings. None of that was okay. He felt a pang in his chest, grasping on to the fact that you’d be fighting against them when it was time for battle.
“I’m sorry,” your voice quivers. You hated feeling as if you were losing control of your emotions. You didn’t want Percy seeing you like this, and you began to feel embarrassed.
“Don’t be sorry,” he shakes his head, and he opens his mouth to say something else but is too stunned when you pull away abruptly. Your gaze is fixed in the opposite direction as you try to catch your breath, hiccuping and gasping softly for a bit. “Y/n?”
“I almost left, and I feel guilty because a part of me regrets not leaving,” you blurted out the confession that was eating you up the most. It was what you were afraid to admit out loud, especially to Atticus and Lou Ellen. You didn’t want to admit that you, the one who found the courage to voice your opinion to your brothers, the one that declared she was staying at the camp, had begun to regret her decision. As much as you wished to not regret it, the what-if questions that filled your mind were hard to avoid. Were you actually missing out on the opportunity to be taught by your mother? Was it true what James said? Was deciding to stay a death wish?
You refused to look at Percy. You were wondering if he thought he was talking to a potential traitor to the camp. You were wondering if he would think of you differently now that you have confessed to having the slightest thought of joining Kronos.
Percy was lost for words, his face flashed with surprise, and he was glad you weren’t looking at him. He didn’t want you to think that he was judging you because he wasn’t; he was just taken aback. The tension between you started to thicken the longer he stayed quiet. His eyes scan the ground, frantically searching for something to say.
“Why did you stay?” He asks hesitantly.
Your teeth chew on the inside of your lip, and you now regret saying anything. You didn’t know if the shift in the air around the two of you was in your head, but either way, it bothered you.
“Because…” you trail off. The list of reasons why you stayed was long, and you didn’t want to go through all of them. You were determined to keep this conversation short, afraid that if you keep dwelling on this situation for too long, you will find more reasons to be angry.
“Because I’m not going to die for a cause I don’t believe in,” you declare. “I understand their side. I understand why they decided to leave. Alabaster was always saying that he wished things were different for us here at camp. I mean, so do I. They also had the approval of our mother, and they were promised to be taken care of if Kr- the Titan Lord wins. I can’t blame them for not giving that up because even I was hesitant to give it up,” you confess.
You sniffle softly, peeling the skin around your fingers before continuing, “But… for the change they're looking for, I don’t think this is the way to do it. Like really? Allying with him? Yeah, the gods are big jerks, but I don’t understand how he would be any different of a leader.” You sigh, “I considered leaving just to be with them, but I couldn’t go through with it. I wouldn’t feel right. I tried to convince them to stay, but they were set on leaving.”
Percy was quiet for a moment, and you found the courage to look up at him. His vision is fixed on the forest ahead before he meets your gaze. “I don’t think you should blame yourself for regretting not going. I think if I were in your position, I would have thought about the same things. They mean a lot to you. They’re your family.”
You nod, relieved that he understood where you were coming from. “Atticus was my last straw. If he had decided to leave, I would have left despite everything.”
“Understandable. He’s your twin,” Percy shrugs. You sigh shakily, your chest feeling a little lighter after being able to voice your thoughts. You felt more satisfied with yourself now. Your challenged morals felt solidified, and you decided with confidence that your choice was right for you.
“I give you a lot of props, Y/n. You were in a tough situation, and it must have been hard to stand your ground, especially since most of them decided to leave.”
“Yeah…” you say softly, and you realize that maybe you should have been kinder to yourself for having that feeling of regret.
“I think it’s really awesome what you did. Doing something like that takes a lot of guts,” Percy says, and you can hear the smile in his voice.
“Thanks…” you say shyly.
A soft smile plays on his lips, and he can tell you were starting to feel better. He was glad that he could help because he understood what you were feeling. He didn’t exactly go through the same thing, but he knew how it felt to second guess your choices and how it was easy to spiral when you dwelled on it for too long.
“You’re really sweet, waterboy. Thanks a lot," you say playfully as you return the smile. Your heart flutters as Percy’s face brightens before sheepishly looking away from you for a second.
He didn’t get compliments like that often. Well, he has, from his mom, but he didn’t count that. It wasn’t the same as getting the compliment from a girl, a girl as pretty as you are.
“I-it was nothing,” he moves his hand in a dismissive wave, and you giggle. “Well… I don’t know if you were done with your ‘prayer,’ but I think you should go back to the party in the Apollo Cabin. I’ll come with you. It sounded like a lot of fun in there."
"Ugh, but they’re going to make me sing,” you slouch, and Percy laughs at the slight pout on your face.
“I’ll sing with you,” he says, and you furrow your eyebrows, surprised at his offer. You’ve only seen him at karaoke a few times, and he always stayed on the sidelines.
“You can sing?” You ask, amused. Percy definitely didn’t seem like the musical type.
“Nope, I’m pretty much tone-deaf, but I’ll embarrass myself for you since you had a rough day," he nudges you softly before standing up. You look up at him as he pats down his pants, and you lean back on your hands.
“I’m gonna pick a ballad so you can embarrass yourself even more," you smirk at him, and he stops patting his clothes, squinting at you.
“Don’t make me take it all back,” he jokes. He reaches his hand out to you, and you grab it, letting him help you up from the ground.
“You know, I’d kill to hear you sing a Britney Spears song," you mention as you pat your own clothes down and begin to walk out of the forest, Ambrose acting as your guide by trotting ahead of you.
Percy is quiet for a moment, and you glance over, positive that he's starting to regret his offer to sing with you.
"Please don’t do that to me.”
You laugh at him; the thought of Percy singing a Britney Spears song was way too funny to you. Percy gave you a cautious look, not sure if you were serious or not. “Fine, fine! I shouldn’t take advantage of your kindness,” you admit as your laugh ceases. Percy nods, playfully agreeing with you. “You listen to My Chemical Romance?” You ask, and he scoffs,
“Of course, I listen to My Chemical Romance.”
“Let’s sing Teenagers then,” you suggest. “It’s a crowd favorite. Everyone sings along, so no one has to suffer through your singing. What do you think?” you tease, and you take in his bright smile as he nods his head,
“Sounds good to me.”
