#someone just liked this post and I’ve gotta say he’s still legendary

[zainclaw]

Hii Zain!! Hope you're doing well!

Considering you're coming from tw/sterek (I shipped them too, still do 😭) and shipped it but never got to see it be real on the show, and now you're into buddie, what do you think our chances of getting canon romantic buddie are? What are you're thoughts on possibility o pining eddie (or buck) and if you do believe they will go Canon, how do you think it'd play out and in what time span?

Thanks for your answer!

Thank you for giving me a reason to talk about this!! Because I’ve actually been wanting to make some kind of post about it, haha.

Do I think Buddie will become canon?

Honestly, there are so many things about Buck and Eddie's canon relationship, as it’s displayed on the show, that genuinely make me Struggle to believe it's anything but actual build-up. (And I say this as someone who has no clue what the show runners have ever said on the subject. And I have no interest to. I’m watching their show and interpret the story being told to me.) If it isn’t build-up, then I gotta say it’s a whole new level of queerbaiting I’ve never seen before.

Choices™ made on the show that make me Struggle:

The fact that the first half of the 2nd season was written, shot and edited before the fandom had even met Eddie, seeing as he wasn’t introduced before it aired. Meaning, all the choices made within these first 10 episodes, were not at all influenced by the fans or what they chose to ship. The beginning of Buck and Eddie was choices made 100% by the show writers, before they had the chance to make any kind of choices based on whether they were shipped by fans or not.

Included in these first 10 episodes together, is the scene with Buck talking to the old gay man whose husband just passed away, and the legendary “I guess I can only hope to find something that good” line from Buck. And, like, we got to see a whole montage of their life together, growing up and falling in love, finally getting married. We never got that much insight in a patient’s life, and they chose to do it for this one gay couple. And they chose this to be an important conversation in Buck’s journey for a romantic partner.

Also included in those episodes, is the scene from the Christmas episode where Buck goes with Eddie and Christopher to see Santa, and the elf lady mistakes Buck and Eddie for a couple, saying "you two have an adorable son” and Buck doesn’t even bother to correct her, but just responds with “thank you” and skips after Eddie. Do you know how many times I’ve seen two men being mistaken as a couple on tv, with them being offended and the whole thing just being played off as a joke? Too fucking many. And this scene gave me none of those vibes. 

(This moment was a Choice, and I want to know Why. Because if it isn’t a joke, and it isn’t actual set-up, then it’s definitely queerbaiting. Which, again, that’s not how queerbaiting usually happens. Before the fans has even had the chance to ship it. So what the fuck?)

Moving on from those specific episodes -- though I will always argue those are the most significant ones, regarding what the show runners set out to do with Eddie and Buck’s relationship -- there are so many more Choices made on the show as a whole.

The fact that a big part of Buck’s character development over the seasons is about going from the biggest player to someone who wants to find a meaningful relationship. Him having that one conversation with Bobby back in S1 about not being sure if he was ready for a relationship so adult, before realizing he does, and proceeds to befriend Eddie and his seven year old son, and becomes such an important person in both their lives. He gets invested in helping Eddie out with Christopher, and matures a lot because of it. And at the end of it all, in the 4th and latest season, we have Buck who (canonically) loves this kid, who babysits him frequently, who’s the person Christopher goes to when he’s upset with his dad, and who stays at Eddie’s house to take care of his son while he’s at the hospital, and who’s to become the legal guardian of Christopher if something ever was to happen to Eddie, despite there being grandparents and aunts and other family.

The fact that the focus of Eddie’s character has always been Christopher, about being a good father and wanting to do right by his son. Wanting to give him love and stability after his mother walked out on both of them. And he meets Buck, who asks Bobby if Christopher can stay with them at the firehouse when Eddie can’t find someone to watch him, before Eddie even gets the chance to do it himself. Buck, who introduces him to Carla who becomes a very important person to both him and Christopher. Buck, who adores his son, never once treats him like a burden, and who quickly becomes a very important person in Christopher’s life. Buck, whom Eddie confidentially tells  “I know you love my son and would never stop trying for him”. Buck, whom Eddie decides is the love and stability he wants for his son, and makes sure that Buck will be the one to raise Christopher if he himself can’t do it anymore.

The choice to have Eddie tell Buck “you can have my back any day” when later being blamed for not having Shannon’s back, even though he insists that he always did. (Buck tells Abby he’s got her back in S1 as well, but I do think the parallel with Eddie is more significant.)

The choice to have Buck say “This is Eddie’s house, I’m not really a guest.”

The choice to have Maddie and Chimney momentarily forget that Buck doesn’t in fact have kids, to then cut to Buck and Christopher at the pier.

The choice to have Eddie say Buck’s name and put a hand on his shoulder and seek his gaze before telling him there’s not a person in the world he trusts more with his son than him. The way this was shot. The line delivery. Choices.

The choice to place Buck with the Diaz family for the Christmas photo as well as countless other times when people are paired up as couples/families.

The choice to make it canon that both Eddie and Buck have keys to each other’s place.

The choice to have Buck lose his entire shit when the well collapses on top of Eddie, having him scream Eddie’s name and try to dig him out with his bare hands. And the fact that Buck is in most of the images flashing before Eddie’s eyes when he’s close to drowning. The choice of making sure Buck holding Eddie’s hand is in the shot when they reunite.

The choice to let Eddie be the one who’s there to witness Buck’s face fall when he sees Abby again. The choice of Eddie touching Buck’s shoulder in wordless reassurance, and later asks him if he’s okay when Abby is gone again.

The choice to have Eddie be on a date with Ana, only for him to return home to where Buck is watching Christopher, and them having a such a warm, domestic moment that directly mirrors scenes with Hen and Karen -- a married couple -- on the topic of getting their kids to bed.

The choice to not show us Eddie waking up at the hospital, with only Ana there, but instead let us see him awake for the first time as Buck runs in there to see him. Putting all the focus on how relieved Eddie and Buck are to see each other again, rather than Eddie and anyone else. Including his girlfriend. I can talk at lengths about how Buck was framed as Eddie’s love interest this whole episode.

The choice to have Eddie call Buck “Evan” in such a tender and special moment. Calling him by his real name, which is something we haven’t seen anyone else from the firefam ever do. Not Bobby. Not Hen. Not Chimney.

The show set up Buck to become Christopher’s second parental figure, like I literally can’t see it any other way than that. And, yeah, that in itself doesn’t have to point towards a romantic relationship with Eddie, it could happen between two best friends, but considering everything else? It’s hard to see it that way tbh. There are just so many Choices, piling up, making mountains, that seem to point to it being more than just a really profound friendship.

As for my hopes for Season 5 / the future as a whole...

I love everybody’s headcanons about pining Eddie, and obviously I would love to see them actually, finally, taking that route with them. But... I guess I still don’t dare to hope for real, haha. Even with everything I just mentioned above, I’m just so used to being disappointed.

I never start shipping something with the need or goal to see it go canon. Ofc I would love to see it, because I love them, and just having it confirmed on the show, not even in an explicit way, would be so beautiful. But I don’t need it. It won’t affect my ability to adore the fan fics or edits or fanart.

Sooo sadly I don’t have any thoughts about what could happen from here on, tbh, or how their on-screen romance would play out! I love their characters as they are on the show, I just look forward to see them being them in many new episodes to come, with the special relationship they already do have in canon! I’m just happy to have that!

God, sorry for this NOVEL of an answer... XDDD

[dark-chibidragoness]

Alright, Here’s my Ballot in it’s entirety. All 7 votes and 7 Characters that I voted for who I like. 

1-Hrid: Okay, I love Hrid and I’m sad that we’ve haven’t seen any version of him since the second NY’s Banner with him on it. And his sister’s have gotten alts after that! (Bride!Fjorm, Summer!Gunnthra and Summer! Ylgr.) And even the Muspell sisters have gotten alt’s since then, too! They have summer versions and Laevatein just got a Ninja alt! WTH.  

I hate it. I want more Hrid. I want another Helbindi. Give my boys more alts than just one!(Not counting their base forms as alts)

He hasn’t even been in any Forging bonds or ANYTHING and his sisters have been in them. Well, Fjorm and Ylgr at least I don’t know about Gunnthra.

And i’m not hating on the girl characters, I like Fjorm and Ylgr and all them I just wish IS would give the guys more love instead of focusing on giving the girls all of the alts. 

They’re all Simps. That’s what they are. SIMPS.  

I have a lot I want to say about Hrid but this will be VERY long and I don’t want it to be longer than It’s going to be. So..moving on for now...

2-Marth: Really, The only reason I voted for marth is because he’s been down in 3rd for the past few years and I really want to see him get his Brave Alt finally.

And then he’ll be out of the Options for Brave units and there can be a lot of other choices.  

And as much as I love Gatekeeper I don’t want him to get in, but  if he does gets in then he won’t be able to come back next year and the slot will be open for someone else.  

If Gatekeeper somehow doesn’t hold second place then people are just going to vote for him next year. 

Well, Back to Marth..I did diverge a bit...I haven’t played the games Marth is from but I know him from Smash, Although that being said I do like Marth and I actually have all versions of him. Normal, Groom, Legendary and Winter Marth. I HAVE THEM ALL. 

I don’t have Resplendant Marth but I probably never will because I don’t pay for this game. F2P Dangit.

Anyway, I really just want to vote marth not just because I want to but because he deserves a Brave alt and he’s gotten robbed of it the last few times we had CYL.

Moving on to my third and I’m probably the only one who voted for him-

3-Ryoma: I love Ryoma. I’ve married him in both Birthright and Revelations, but when I got to the dreaded chapter 25 of Conquest, I probably cried harder than my in-game character did. 

I played Birthright before playing Conquest and I can say if it weren’t for Ryoma’s existence I probably would’ve gone Conquest first. I did buy Conquest first and played through the first few chapters before the split, but when It came to the split I stopped when I realized I couldn’t choose the Hoshido side, and that was one of the things I didn’t like about the game. 

I did eventually finish Conquest, but that’s only after I played through Birthright and...I actually liked the route a lot. Now, Originally I wasn’t going to go with Ryoma, I was actually originally going to marry Kaden or Kaze, but ended up with Ryoma because of his Honor and the way of the Bushido.

I don’t know what it is about characters that have the Honor and Bushido trait, but..I guess that’s my type?? Which is probably why I like 2003′s TMNT Leo a lot.  

Alright again I could go on and on but I don’t want to make this a too long of a post so moving on-

4-Alfonse: Okay, Alright..This one could be long too but I’m going to restrain myself. 

 Well, I’ll say it. I like Alfonse. Especially in book 3 when he stood up to Hel. That was amazing! I hope he does that as well in this Book with Fafnir or..Otr? I guess whichever one. (I did like Otr when he was first shown but now I’m not so sure...)

I really want either a Legendary or Brave Alfonse, and I would love to see what they would do with him.

And this will probably never happen but a Duo alt with Hrid would make me very happy. (Like a Summer Beach Volleyball alt with Alfonse holding a beach-ball and Hrid holding Ice-cream to cool themselves off. Oooo I’d draw that but I’m not a good artist, sooo.)

Okay Okay, I said I would restrain myself and I am. I’m moving on before I rant about Alfonse some more.

And the next vote goes too...OH. The other character I could rant all day about.

5-Grima: Yes, GRIMA. Not the Female Robin Version but Male Robin. 

This is another type I like but It’s nice character’s who’ve been possessed by evil beings, or give themselves to darkness? (Like Jesse/Johan from Yugioh GX?? Or Riku from Kingdom Hearts?!)

Although I actually like the actual Dragon form of Grima more than the Robins and would like him to have his own human form instead of possessing Robin, but i’ve never played Awakening and don’t know if there’s a reason for that.

Having them come out with a Halloween Alt for the Female version makes me a bit hopeful for a Male alt but not a lot because apparently IS just likes to make all the alts for girls and not guys?? Like please I want more of my favorite guy characters with alts. How am I supposed to Simp for my favorite boys when the don’t even give them alts?? Like Hello?? There aren’t just guys in the world who play FEH there’s girls, too??

But let’s be honest, Even if we get another Male Grima will he even have the exposed Tid? I don’t know and that scares me. 

Once again, Just give me my boys, IS!

6-Scarlet: Hoooo Boy Scarlet. So I was a bit jealous of Scarlet in Revelations when she was talking about Ryoma, and then I felt bad a few scenes earlier. 

Which made me wish I had completed her bonding events in Birthright, I only ever got up to C rank.

Uhh, So I voted for Scarlet because I realized I’ve just been voting all guys and even though Eirika and Byleth are in the lead I’m still voting for the characters that I want. 

And scarlet is one of them. I know it wouldn’t be enough to get a brave alt but I wouldn’t mind if IS gave us normal Scarlet or a certain other Alt that comes later in the year but before Brides and Summer that I won’t talk about. 

I did like Scarlet in Birthright and in...Revelations...and after what happened in Revelations I felt really really bad for her? 

I hope she gets in at some point. I would actually summon for Scarlet if they put her in. However she gets in. 

And the final vote iiis(I don’t know why I’m doing this I have the whole battle ballot screenshot shown, so everyone can already see who I voted for)

7-Orochi: Orochi. Needs. To. Be. In. The Game.

Out of all the fates Characters we have, I’m surprised we still don’t have Orochi. I don’t remember well but I think she’s one of Mikoto’s retainers?? It’s been a very long time since I played fates so I don’t know. 

Umm...That’s pretty much the only reason I voted for her. I love Orochi and I’m sad she’s still not in the game yet. 

This is one of the few times I want IS to give me a female character, the other would be Scarlet and probably Nyx if I had another vote. But..well...Hmm..

Okay, That’s all the votes and the rough and hopefully short enough explanation of why I voted for each character. 

I’m tired of writing, my hand’s getting cramped so if there’s something I need to add I’ll do it later. Gotta rest my hands for now and probably watch people try and Summon for Seiros. 

(Who I did not get but I got Legendary Dimitri so I’m happy)

#FEH #Battle Ballot #CYL 5 #All of my votes! #Hrid #Marth #Ryoma #Alfonse #Grima #Scarlet #Orochi #I wanted to vote for so many characters #Like Nyx #And I thought about voting for Marianne but- #Also If Bernie hadn't gotten that Winter alt I would've voted for her too #Fire Emblem Heroes

Title: Unexpecting

Fandom: Devil May Cry

Characters: Dante Sparda, Ripley Rowe (OC)

Chapters: 1/?

The creek in the wooden floor on the third stair alerts Ripley that someone is nearing the bedroom. Glancing over at the digital clock with its bright red numbers, it reads 2:27 p.m.

Sure Ripley likes to sleep in from time to time like many people, but never on a day she’s supposed to be working. Dante’s supposed to be coming home sometime today from a weekend of demon hunting with Vergil. So she’s been in charge of the Devil May Cry in his absence. She’s supposed to be downstairs managing the shop right now.

By now she’s usually got the mail sorted, done some cleaning, called clients about any payments that are pending (because Dante has a hard time making people pay) and taking on any new clients or going out on a small hunt.

Having already forgotten about the person walking up the stairs, she jumps slightly hearing the doorknob turn. Dante opens the door and flips the switch turning on the light.

Ripley flinches and closes her eyes from the sudden burst of light and rubs them. Hearing her slight movements in the bed, Dante quickly turns his head in her direction and finds her barely conscious under a pile of blankets.

“Still in bed? Everything was so quiet I thought you might have gone out.” Dante smiles at her then shrugs off his coat, hanging it on the dark wooden post on his side of the bed. He turns around to find clothes to change into after a much needed shower.

“I just woke up” she rasps, rubbing the sleep out of her eyes, she goes to sit up and very quickly her body fights against her, feeling lightheaded from the sudden movement. Groaning and squeezing her eyes shut and feeling very weak and tired all of a sudden.

Ripley manages to sit upright though keeping her eyes squeezed shut. She rests her back against her pillows and headboard taking in a shaky breath to try and steady her dizziness. It Feels like she’s on a boat, lost at sea that’s been caught in a terrible storm with waves crashing angrily against the ship making it sway back and forth. 

She groans again but forces her eyes to open and blinks a few times trying to clear her vision. It sways some more and she feels very faint.

“D..dante”

Dante quickly moves over, to catch and support her. His arm snakes around her shoulders and pulls her close to him. She leans or rathers drops her head onto him.

“Sweetheart what’s wrong? Can you look at me” he gently tries shaking her. When she just groans in response it quickly worries him further. Concern is written all over Dante’s face and laced into his voice which is usually confident and playful, now coming out shaky.

“I” quickly placing her palm to her forehead where a rampant headache is forming. “I don’t feel so good.”

Dante notices her cheeks are flushed and puts the back of his free hand on her face trying to get a read on her temperature. He moves his hand under her shirt and onto her back.

Normally Ripley is cool to his touch since naturally Dante runs warmer from his demon heritage. Right now, Ripley is starting to loose that cooling sensation and is feeling more like himself.

“You definitely have a fever” he mumbles more to himself than to her. Brushing some of her hair out of the way that’s starting to curl from sweat, he starts rattling his brain on what to do.

Dante has hardly ever been sick and the last time he can recal being ill was when he was a small child. The only thing that comes to mind is laying in bed after taking some medicine while his mother tended to him.

He can recall his mother rubbing his back soothingly trying to get him to rest and fall asleep, so he does just that and Ripley nuzzles her face into his chest.

Adjusting his hold on her trying to get into a more comfortable position he maneuvers himself behind her, letting her rest against him. Immediately feeling the heat radiating from her skin.

“Are you still feeling dizzy? should probably call Kyrie, she’ll know how to get you better in no time.“

Ripley opens her eyes and does her best to look up at Dante from her position. She sees just how worried he is for her and she grabs onto his forearm and brushes her hand over him to help comfort him.

“I think I’m past being dizzy” she yawns still brushing his arm. “I just want to lie down.”

Dante then spends the next five minutes fluffing up her pillows trying to make them perfect. It earns a soft and tired laugh from Ripley. “I think they’re as good as can be D.”

Muttering an “alright,” he helps her lay back down and get comfortable under the covers before he tucks her in. Who knew Dante the Legendary Demon Hunter could be such a mother hen.

He rests his hand on her blanket covered thigh and rubs his thumb back and forth subconsciously. Overlooking his work and seemingly satisfied with how comfortable she looks he sits on the edge of their bed brushing her hair back again.

“I’m going to head downstairs and call Kyrie and see what all you need. Probably have to go pick up a few things. If you need me-“

Breaking free from the confines of the blanket she grabs Dante’s hand. “I’ll call you” she smiles to reassure him. “I’ll be okay for a few while you’re downstairs and picking up medicine. When you come back you can come back upstairs take care of me and watch over me till your hearts content.”

He smiles and proceeds to tuck you back in with the blanket just to tease you now. There’s my Dante. “Alright Sweetheart I’ll be back in a few. Get some rest.”

With a kiss to the forehead he’s closing the door and headed downstairs just for him to get halfway to turn around and come back up the stairs opening the door. He leans against the doorframe peaking inside smiling seeing you just how he left you.

“Love you.”

“I Love you too Dante.”

Headed back down stairs, going straight over to his desk and picking up of the phone. He has to dig around for a minute to find the sticky note that has Neros number scratched onto it.

He dials in the number and it rings, rings, rings, and ri-

“Hello?”

There’s some back ground noise that can be heard.

“Hey Nero, I need-

“Listen Dante, Im busy with the kids. If the city’s not burning down I’m not coming.”

“Not asking you to kid. Is Kyrie around?”

Some kids can be heard running around the house, laughing with each other.

“Yeah she’s here. -don’t run in here please- what do you need Kyrie for” Nero asks skepticaly.

Hearing her name, Kyrie walks over to see what’s going on.

“Who is it?” She mouths to Nero

“Dante. And he says Ripleys sick, has a fever or something.”

Immediately she walks over and takes the phone from Nero, ushering him and the kids away so she can hear better.

“Hey Dante, Nero said Ripleys got a fever?”

After talking on the phone with Kyrie, Dante now has list of items to go pick up. A thermometer, a few options of medications, soups, and many different types of tea that hes never heard of before.

Folding up the paper and grabbing his wallet, he makes his way to the doors of the Devil May Cry but stops as he senses his brother on the other side. Stepping to the side so he doesn’t get hit by the door, Vergil takes one step inside before stopping dead in his tracks.

He stares into the direction of Dantes and Ripleys bedroom with a weird and unreadable look on his face. Dante eyes him suspiciously but pushes past him to leave. Vergil then turns around and asks what’s he doing.

“My girls sick. She has a fever, gotta pick up a few things. Don’t be noisy and wake her.” He’s nearly out the door when Vergil grabs his shoulder.

“She’s not sick.”

“Huh?” He turns to look back at his brother and sees that he’s looking up at their room again. “You can’t sense it?” Vergil questions cutting his eyes at Dante.

“What the hell are you talking about.”

Vergil looks away from his brother, questioning how he should word the information.

“You gonna tell mewhat the he’ll you’re talking about or what? She’s sick. I’ve got to go pick her up some med-“

“She’s carrying your offspring Dante.” Vergil looks Dante in the eyes and can visually see the gears turning in his head trying to process what he just said.

“You should be able to sense the change in her hormones. I noticed when I stepped foot inside. Perhaps you’ve grown accustomed to Ripleys scent.”

Dante still standing at the door, speechless, confused, and lost in thought. Slowly he’s coming to and starting to process what his brother just said.

Now that he thinks about it he can definitely smell your hormones. It’s usually something he can smell when you’re both being intimate. How had he not noticed it earlier? Did it trigger when he got close to you? Are you really pregnant? Doing the math in his head He looks at Vergil like he’s magically grown a second head.

“H-How?”

At that Vergil snickers loudly. “I know you’re not the brightest dear brother, but I’m sure you’re fully aware of how that works.”

Dante cuts his eyes at him and walks further inside the building. Dante’s at a loss for words as he looks around his shop. Stopping to lean over his desk and run a hand through his hair pulling on the strands.

“I could sense Neros mother the same way after a few demons were close by just as I can sense Ripley now. Though I didn’t know that meant she was carrying Nero at the time.”

Vergil continues “ I imagine Ripley feeling discomfort is because she’s a human carrying a demon.” He looks back up to the room as if he can see her.

For whatever reason, Dante can feel himself growing aggressive by Vergil’s statements. He can feel the demon part of him clawing to break free. Vergil can sense Ripley? Smell her? The same way he can smell her when she’s aroused? Why does he keep looking in her direction and why the hell is he smirking?

A very deep and dark growl can be heard coming from Dante. It was so dark and frightening that any other demon would have fled the scene as fast as possible but Vergil remains standing in his spot, carefree. It’s a warning and one that should not be ignored. Dante watches the older Sparda very closely just as Vergil watches the younger Sparda.

Vergil wanting to see just how far he could push Dante, he takes a few steps in Ripleys direction, not taking his eyes off of Dante and that’s all it takes for Dante to loose control and trigger into his Sin demon form knocking everything close by including the desk against the wall with the force his wings alone, papers scatter the floor. Dante lets out another growl vibrating the walls around the shop, this one surly reaching Ripleys ears.

Vergil remains standing a couple steps closer towards Ripley. Though ignoring his own want to trigger in Dante’s prescence. The door to Dante’s bedroom flies open, with a very pissed off Ripley walking out to the top of the stairs.

“What the fuck is going on with you two. I’m sick and trying to sleep. Take this shit” she points at the two brothers “somewhere else!” She stomps off slamming the door back.

Vergil then deciding it’s best to leave Dante alone before having to face Ripleys wrath. Dante coming more in control the further Vergil is from Ripley.

Slowly he’s back to himself, though now terrified for what’s to come with his new knowledge about Ripleys illness. He slowly climbs back up the stairs to check on her.

The closer he gets the stronger he can feel her presence, it even feels like it’s pulling him to her. He could always feel her before, but it’s different now.

She’s pregnant. With his baby.

Dante opens the door to find Ripley standing next to the bed with her back to the door. He walks behind her and instinctively puts his hands around her stomach. He kisses her cheek and drops his head where her neck meets her shoulder and kisses and gently grazes his teeth against her.

His demon half wants to sink his teeth into her and mark her as his, but yet Dante wants to be gentle.

Ripley sniffles and Dante pulls away, scared he’s done something wrong. Turning to face Dante, she wipes away her tears.

“Am I really pregnant ?”

Dante turns his head away glancing over to the wall and swallows. “I uh” he clears his throat looking back at the most beautiful woman that he feel in love with.

“Yeah, I believe so”

Standing on her tippy toes she kisses Dante like she’s never kissed him before. The two lock together, holding each other as close as possible, moaning and grunting into each other. When they pull apart Ripley wipes the tears away from Dantes cheeks as he does hers.

Dante again places his hands on Ripleys soon to be growing belly and lets more tears fall.

@yimolkiin replied to your post “yeah methinks i’m gonna play Zaidras or Te’razi instead :/ Smuggler...”

why do u hate smug :0? just genuine curiosity

aa no worries! its not so much that i hate it (i mean. i do kind of hate it), it just fails to grab me. BH had the same problem, except the advantage BH had was nice to listen to VAs, and Mako was your first companion, and it just has a more aesthetically pleasing grittiness to it. there isn’t heaping amounts of weird ass misogyny and women written purely for sex appeal right from the get-go, and it helps that it has an interesting premise.

the prologue of the smuggler story is: you get double-crossed by someone you knew for two seconds and now your ship is gone. there’s no time to feel hurt by skavak’s “betrayal” or to lament the loss of your ship because you literally just got here.

i’ve heard one of the biggest praises for the smuggler story is the found family theme of the companions, but the characters in the prologue are so... unlikeable. corso is sort of an exception? he’s got his own misogynistic shit going on but it’s not the blatant & gross shit and tbh it’s easy to cram in a bit of a development arc for him where he unlearns that bullshit, which is why he gets a pass compared to doc and tharan.

like honestly, you gotta take my opinion with a grain of salt because i literally have only played through the prologue. i started taris on my first smuggler and i have yet to get any farther on anyone else. from the two times i talked to risha, i decided that i liked her, but i still have to get through ord mantell and coruscant before i get to that point, and i dropped off on taris because it just bored me so much.

i rlly, REALLY wanna actually play the story, bc i have heard good things about it. at the VERY LEAST, i want to play it all the way through without skipping right through every cutscene so i can say i gave it a shot (and get that legendary player status i want it so bad i’m literally so close)

#yimolkiin #srry if this is. rlly negative i SWEAR im gonna play it and im sure there'll be things i like #ive heard VERY GOOD THINGS about akaavi's romance so im excited for that #and who knows mayb it'll surprise me!!!

Stitches — Zoro x Reader

Summary: After meeting Roronoa Zoro by chance, and after helping you stitch up your wounds, the two of you connect rather quickly. Not only becoming friends, but lovers in the process. However, there is something he’s hiding. And eventually, you fear that he might be in danger.

Word count: 3.5K

A/N: I have a lot to say, so I’ll be breaking it in different bullets so...

It’s been almost three weeks since I last posted something. I’m not sure what exactly happened there, I found it very hard to write despite the endless ideas flooding my mind.

I intended this to be longer, but I’ve been having trouble writing, god knows why? I’m still glad I got to finish this since I’ve been trying to write any things before but ditched them halfway.

There aren’t explicit spoilers in this. However, if you look through the details, you might come across small spoilers, not regarding the main plot, but regarding details about Wano in general. 

Also, I got asked by @misslongcep to tag them when this was done, so, here it is!!

Warnings: swearing, mentions of sex, violence, mentions of blood and cuts. 

The first night in Wano felt surreal to the half of the crew who had just arrived to the island. After receiving instructions from Kin'emon to keep a fake identity, stay in character and keep a low profile, Zoro didn't think much of it. How hard could it be, anyways?

However, as colorful and cheerful the Wano Country was during the day, at night there was a certain somber atmosphere to it. The cool wind, the moon shining bright on top of the sky, and the ominous clouds moving across like fish in the sea. Followed by the silence surrounding the town. 

Distant noises broke the cold silence as Zoro tried to make his way, but got lost in the process. The sound of metal cutting flesh, followed by a smell Zoro knew all too well. 

Turning on the next corner, where everything sounded closer, he saw a cloaked figure cutting another one in front of it. The second shadow was ready to cut the cloaked one when Zoro quickly stood between them. 

"Bold of you to try to cut a woman in half" Zoro growled, stopping the cloaked man's katana with his Wado Ichimonji. 

"I suggest you mind your own business, sir. That insolent girl owes me" Growled the cloaked man.

"Bullshit, I paid my part of the deal" The girl behind Zoro snapped at once "you're just trying to take advantage of—"

"You little bitch!" The cloaked man yielded his katana once more, ready to cut Zoro in the process to get to you.

Before Zoro could stop him a second time, you jumped over Zoro's shoulder, stabbing the man on the throat with a small dagger. Your weight falling on his sharp shoulder blade made you hiss painfully, as not o long ago, the man cut you across your belly.

"Fuck, woman!" Zoro hissed surprised and wrapping his arm around your waist as you fell over his shoulder and with his other hand stopping the man's katana as the cloaked man fell heavily on his knees covering his bleeding neck. 

"Let go of me!"  You growled "We have to get out before someone sees us!" You demanded as Zoro glared at you and put you down.

Before you could run back to your place, Zoro noticed how your clothes were bleeding heavily. From both your stomach and your shoulder.

"Wait, you're bleeding" Zoro barked

"Yeah, no shit!" You said trying your best to cover the open wound on your belly with your arm, and stopping the bleeding from your shoulder with your free hand. "I have to patch myself up before I fai—" you stopped,letting go of your shoulder and holding your head and shutting your eyes closed tightly. "Shit, I'm feeling dizzy" 

"Let me help you" Zoro said getting closer to you.

"Just answer me something, stranger" you said peeking at him through your eyelashes. Feeling yourself get paler, you thought about your chances of surviving. Was trusting a stranger worth it? You were about to find out. "By any chance, are you the Pirate Hunter, Roronoa Zoro?" 

Zoro's eyes widened in surprise, not sure how to react. He knew for a fact that the news from across the world didn't reach Wano, and yet, you recognized him at the spot. His silence, confirming your question.

"Take me home, big guy...gotta tell you something important" you whispered as you pointed in the general direction towards your place.

Zoro, howeer, didn’t move at first. You gazed at him from the corner of your eye. 

“I won’t bite, I promise” You joked pulling a cocky smile, even when your body ached and you felt dizzy.

~

On the outskirts of the city your house awaited for you. It was small, and looked quite ordinary. Once inside, Zoro offered to help you clean your wounds and stitch you up. Your face, paler than the moon threatened the both of you, as you could pass out any time now due to the loss of blood.

"Look, Roronoa” You began sitting on the floor next to the door “You should be grateful that Wano doesn't receive news from the outside, otherwise you'd been caught by shogun's army already" you hissed painfully. "The first aid kid is under the sink" 

"How did you know?" Zoro said walking to the sink and looking for a small metal box before returning to the living room. 

"I've been hiding here in Wano for a while" you began. "I am as much if an outsider as you are" loosening off your yukata, revealing you belly all covered in blood at Zoro who was quickly started cleaning your wound and the skin around it "You have to learn how to blend in…" you groaned painfully, not really minding that you were practically wearing nothing but underwear in front of a stranger. 

"How do I do that exactly?" He asked, his eyes fixed on your wound. "This is gonna burn real bad" he warned you before pouring alcohol on your belly. 

"Aw, mother fuck—" you groaned painfully, feeling how not just the wound burned but your entire body stung awfully "Got a fake identity?" Growling, you looked at Zoro who was amused looking at your reactions."What? Do I have monkeys on my face?"

"No, sorry” The swordsman laughed loudly “It's just, you're a tough one, aren't you?" You nodded, shutting your eyes closed as Zoro dried the alcohol off your skin "Zorojuro is my fake name, I'm a ronin" 

"Have you tried talking with an accent or a filler?" You hissed, feeling the needle piercing your skin. 

"A filler?" Zoro asked slightly confused, as he kept stitching you up.

"Something to add either..." you gasped, taking in the pain. "...at the end of your sentences or during a pause…" Zoro was trying his best to be gentle, and you could tell since I'm the past you've also been stitched up by other people who made a worse job than Zoro did "...you should try 'gozaru' I keep hearing that every now and then...trust me, it'll work"  

Zoro kept stitching the wound and once he finished the biggest wound, he moved to the one on your shoulder. Doing the same, he cleaned the blood and poured alcohol on it. Biting your lip, you kept yourself from yelling obscene words. The swordsman, in the meantime, was amused by how you tried to remain tough. 

"Can I help you with something else?" He asked once he finished with your shoulder. 

"Be a darling and bring that bottle of sake over there…" you said breathless, gesturing with your head.

"Should you be drinking sake after losing this much blood?" He said looking over his shoulder, tainted with your blood when you jumped over his shoulder. 

"Let's find out. But if you're that worried about me, you can pass me an apple too…" Zoro chuckled at how laid back you remained even after all that happened. 

"What's your name, anyway?" Zoro said standing up and walking back to the kitche, grabbing a white bottle.

"[Name]" you whispered "Nice meetin'ya" You said as Zoro handed you the bottle and sat next to you.

"Who was that asshole?" 

"Who cares? He's dead now. No one will miss him" Opening the bottle you raised it high. "Cheers" You drank several big gulps, feeling the sweet taste burning your throat. 

Then, you handed Zoro the bottle and both of you drank for a while. Having a quite pleasant talk with Zoro, the two of you exchanged stories on how you’d ended up in Wano. Zoro avoiding details on the real reason why he was there, and disguising it as “business that has to be dealt with”. You knew he was hiding something, but honestly, you didn’t care that much. 

Soon, that casual talk turned into subtle flirting the more you kept drinking. That casual flirting the two of you had soon got out of hand. You realized you were pressing the right buttons, and god, you loved seeing the looks Zoro gave you. And in a turn of events, the swordsman pulled you over his lap, his nose barely brushing yours as his eyes devoured you with a lust that was contagious. His breath hitting your neck unleashed all sorts of wild sensations in your core.

"Is this what you wanted?" Zoro growled in a low voice. 

"Probably…" chuckling, you ran your fingers through his hair, holding it tightly in you grip.

"Probably" He repeated, gazing at you hungrily. "Your flirting is cutting short my patience" 

"Is it, though?" You leaned closer, brushing your lips against his. "Now what? Will you show me what the legendary Pirate Hunter is made of?" Upon noticing how he was leaning forward to steal a kiss from you, you backed off as he breathed heavily in disapproval.

"Is that what you want, darling?" He purred.

"Do your worst" you hissed, stealing quick kiss from his lips. 

Zoro’s hands grabbed your yukata and easily pulled it off as it pooled on your waist, leaving your chest exposed. One of his hands reached your hair, pulling it back stretching your neck at him as he ran his lips very gently over your skin. Teasing, burning his way to your jaw as a gasp escaped your mouth. As he made his way higher and higher, you became eager to finally taste his lips, however it didn’t happen. 

Brushing his lips over yours, you felt your heart skiped a beat. Then, he playfully held your lower lip on his teeth, teasingly. Yet, he still refused to kiss you. Your desperation was growing, and got worse when you felt his tongue soothing the skin where he bit you. 

"Fucking kiss me already" you hissed breathless.

"You took too long to beg for it" his breath against your neck kept sending electrifying chills down your back. 

Crashing his lips against yours, he harshly stole your breath right away. His fingers clawed to your back desperately as you kissed him back. Your tongue trying to fight for dominance against his. 

His mind clouded, not with alcohol, but with pent up frustrations set ablaze. He pushed you gently to the ground, holding your back tightly. The fall wasn’t harsh, however, you were still very susceptible to the pain. And as a reaction, you groaned. Serving as a reminder that you were injured. 

"Sorry, did I hurt you?" He gazed at you, suddenly, his stare softening. 

"Its okay” You breathed, wrapping your arms around his neck and bringing him closer “Don't stop" You purred kissing him, your head dizzy from the blood loss. 

"If I hurt you, don't hesitate to stop me" He whispered between kisses.

"What a gentleman you are, Roronoa" 

~

The next morning, Zoro came to the realization that both of you had fallen asleep on the living room. Of course, after such a busy night, the two of you ended exhausted. Quick flashes from last night’s events came to his mind. Chills running through his back at the memories of your voice calling his name in delicious moans. The feel of your skin getting chills by his touch. 

Upon realising last night memories were triggering his erection, he thought maybe re living those memories wasn't a good idea.  Especially since you weren’t by his side, and instead, cooking in a rather cheerful mood. 

The house smelled of freshly cooked rice along with many more delicious smells Zoro could hardly identify. 

“How are you feeling?” Zoro asked, his voice still dripping with sleep as he sat up. 

“Pretty good” You almost sang “How did you sleep? I hope the ground wasn’t so hard…” 

“Don’t worry” He yawned. “I’m used to it…” 

“Breakfast is ready” You announces, your voice dreamy, as you grabbed a bowl.  

“Thank you, it wasn’t necessary” 

“But it is. You helped me last night, and on top of that, you kept me company. Besides, I stained your yukata, and I feel terribly sorry for that…” You peeked at him over your shoulder with an apologetic smile.

“Don’t worry about that, I can get another one…” You said walking out of the kitchen and handing him a bowl of rice with a lot of chopped fresh vegetables. “Thanks” He gazed at his bowl briefly “....I’m...not complaining but no protein?” 

“I would’ve put fish into it, but the fish here is poisoned...So, no. But there’s edamame, and that’s rich in protein, so, don’t worry, your gorgeous muscles won’t deflate” Zoro laughed softly as you sat in front of him with your rice bowl. 

“Thank you for the food” He said almost savoring his meal as he grabbed the chopsticks you handed him as well. 

“Is the least I can do…” you winked at him and proceeded to eat cheerfully. 

~

Days went by as you kept updating Zoro on everything you knew about Wano. Most of what you told him, he'd heard before from Kin'emon. You also told him a lot of the social context surrounding the streets and the townspeople. And even showed him around town. 

The two of you soon realized how easy was to trust each other. The undeniable chemistry between the both of you shone by itself, as if you two knew each other your whole lives. Something was pulling you towards Zoro, so strongly, like  magnetic field. And just like you, Zoro felt it too, in the same way. 

Every night for several days, Zoro basically stayed at your place. The same story as the first night. Starting with subtle flirting, ending up with moans and loud heartbeats. However, the rough lustful sex was slowly turning slower and gentler. The growing softer side of him began sparking in you confusing feelings towards him. And you wondered, if he felt them too.

By the time you had to take off your stitches, Zoro offered you his help. That afternoon, Zoro had been awfully quiet as he cut off your stitches. You looked at him as he carefully took the last stitch from the wide cut of your stomach, now turned into a long pink scar. His fingers lingered on your skin, as his stare was fixed on the bright pink. You felt yourself blush lightly, but tried to ignore the increasing heartbeat inside your chest. 

“We have to talk” Zoro whispered. 

“Alright, shoot…” You murmured back at him as he now sat up straight and was looking at your shoulder as you pulled your yukata back up, covering your belly, and pulling down the sleeve. The second cut, the one on our shoulder was now exposed to him as he leaned closer, holding the small knife on his fingers as he carefully proceeded to cut the stitches.

“You have to leave this place” He said dryly.

“Come again?” 

“My business here can blow up out of proportion. I don’t want you to be caught in the crossfire. We cannot keep seeing each other, its dangerous” It was obvious how he was avoiding your stare. 

“What is it exactly your business here” You asked for the first time since he’d mentioned it.

“I can’t tell you” 

“Alright…” You sighed.

“I-I’m…” He stuttered, “I’m starting to develop feelings for you, [Name]. I’d hate it if you end up wounded because of me” 

“Wait, what?” You said as his words kept going around your skull, looking at him, begging for him to finally meet your stare.

“I want to keep you safe” He said dryly again.

“But you said that you...” Your voice was lower than before “have feelings for me?” Zoro didn’t say anything, and finally met your stare “Zoro...kiss me” 

Without needing to be told twice, Zoro leaned closer and crashed his lips against yours. At first harsh, but then, the kiss softened. Wrapping your arms quickly around his neck, you brought him closer to you. With his hands holding your waist, he pulled you on top of him, so you were sitting on his lap. His hands then made their way up your back and held you tightly, squeezing you against his hot body. 

An unnamed feeling suddenly overwhelmed you. Was it fondness? Endearment? You knew Zoro for a short time, but the chemistry between ou was undeniable. How did you become so attached to him in a few days? Suddenly, you were afraid of losing him. And you wished to have met him in another set of circumstances, possibly with more time at your disposal. 

“Zoro…” You gasped for air, breaking the kiss. “Zoro, please, tell me. What’s this ‘pending business’ you have here, that could possibly end with me hurt?” 

“I’m sorry, darling...I—” 

“I need to know the chances of you dying or living. I need to know if I’ll see you again” You begged.

“I-I...My crew and I will try to take Kaido down…” Your jaw dropped and your eyes widened.

“You what? You can’t possibly do that, that’s suicide” Snapping at him, you looked at him incredulous.

“We’ll have to make it through. There is no option” his voice was firm and left no place for doubt.

“You’ll never be able to take him down, the freaking guy is immortal” You hissed.

“We’ll die then. But we can’t be sure until we try. That’s why you need to get away from here before things get ugly” 

“Go where, exactly?” you chuckled sourly.

“I don’t know. Anywhere but here. If fate allows me to, I’ll look out for you once this is all over” 

“If fate allows you?” Repeating his words, you stared at him attentively.

“I’ve never had feelings for someone before. You must be something really special for me to feel this way about you. And possibly the only one. I can’t allow myself to let you go. But I have priorities. Once Luffy becomes the King of the Pirates, and I become the strongest swordsman in the world, then I will look out for you” As he spoke, very much against your will, your eyes became teary.

“That sounds like a lot” You sighed frowning softly.

“It is. But it’s not impossible, we're more than halfway there" the amount of confidence in his grin only made your heart beat faster "You’ll have to trust me on this. I give you my word” 

“Okay, I trust you” 

“Thank you, [Name]” 

“On one condition” Zoro stared at you. “Stay here with me tonight” 

Zoro gazed briefly into your eyes, and moved one of his hands from your back to your cheek. Brushing away the small tear falling from your eye, he pulled you closer, pressing his lips against yours so gently. And kissing him back, he could taste your fear, which he tried to tone down by kissing you sweetly. 

“I’m going to be fine, darling” He purred between one kiss and the other, as your hands clung to him, afraid that he was going to be taken away from you. 

His hand on your cheek went down your neck, caressing your skin so deliciously until his hand found one of your breasts and cupped it gently over your yukata. His other hand drawing patterns on your back with his fingers. 

You moaned into his mouth so softly, tugging tighter on his hair. Loosening your grip, you let go of his hair, and cupped his face in your hands, sliding your hands down his neck. 

Zoro broke the kiss, but his lips travelled down your jaw and neck, kissing very delicately your skin. Very gently he grabbed your yukata and pulled it off. Proceeding to kiss your now bare shoulders, he lingered on your fresh pink scar. 

Feeling flustered by the way he was kissing you so delicately, you hummed softly. 

"Zoro" You gasped

"Yes, darling?" He purred kissing your shoulder, moving to your neck. 

"I have feelings for you too"

He looked up at you, and his lips curved in a small gentle smile. Closing his eye, he leaned forward, brushing his nose against yours. 

"I know" he whispered before kissing your lips in the softest kiss, as his arms wrapped around your back.

You wrapped your arms around his shoulders and squeezed him against you. His warm skin, against yours, sparked all sorts of feelings in you. His chest against yours, your legs wrapped around his waist. You became aware of how you felt his skin all around you. Embracing you in a delicious way. 

One of his hand moved lower down your back. And breaking the kiss, he pressed his forehead against yours.

"Hold on tight" he murmured as he then leaned over. 

Using his legs and one of his arms, he placed you gently on the floor. Your legs were still around his waist, trapping him closer to you. However, Zoro didn't complain. He then rested his weight on his elbows against the floor. 

Scanning his face, you traced your fingers over his features. 

"You better take Kaido down. You and Luffy better find the One Piece. And you better become the greatest swordsman. Otherwise, I'm going to be very pissed" Zoro chuckled softly as you spoke. 

"Less than a year" he whispered kissing you gently. 

"Less? You think that high of yourself" you said with some degree of amazement in your voice

"I don't think that high of myself. I know that much about myself" he answered proudly.

"Cocky" Your sweet laugh caressed his ears.

"Shut up and kiss me" he chuckled once more, as he stole a kiss from your giggling lips.

Ok so… short story short, i’m actually plaining on uploading more info about MY OTHER CR OCs I’ve posted so far (not only the dragons, like, the very first OCs I uploaded here and what not) and while writting some stuff down, I came to a sudden realization without giving MUCH spoilers, one of my OCs, Mugwort Cookie, owns and runs an Tavern located deep into the woods, and while she receives any wondering cookie into the place, she specializes in monster/supernatural cookies, since she is one herself. AND THEN I REALIZED… I didn’t have many “monster cookies” myself, so i went ahead and created some, pfff AND DIFFERENT FROM THE FIRST TIMES, I’LL ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THOSE GUYS AAYY.  All basic Info about them will be under Read more, and when i say basic I mean…basic. I usually don’t think about “what would my OCs abilities be if they were actually in the game” or “how they were baked” and stuff like that so…yeah. Basic stuff like who and what they are, and their relationships. That’s it pfff :’D This also might be long, but if you are curious about those guys, feel free to read!

NEKOMATA COOKIE:

Pronouns: She/Her Rank: Epic Pet: Neko Fire Age: Young Adult Relationships: Kumiho Cookie (Friendly): “How about a trip to town hmm~?” Werewolf Cookie (Tension): “HISSS! DON’T GET CLOSER DOGGY!” Extra Notes: -While kuhimo is more on the flirtatious side, she is one the mischevious one. -Despite what one might thought, she and Kumiho are on pretty friendly terms. -Will act cat-like even in cookie form. -Real form IS the cat one.  -Doesn’t get along with dogs (Kumiho seems to be the exception despite being a fox) -Let’s be real, she probably has a crush on Kumiho. -Apart from shapeshifting, is also able to randomly disappear and create small fire flames to confuse and scare others. ———— POWDER COOKIE

Pronouns: They/Them Rank: Rare Pet: Dust Spirit Age: Child.

Extra Notes: -SO BASICALLY. THEY ARE BABY. THAT’S IT. THEY CANNOT CHANGE IT. -Pure and curious bby. -FOUR ARMS TO BETTER GIVE HUGS! -Grew up alone since their appearance usually scare most cookies. -Really curious about everything, not used to speak so much, so their english is not perfect. -Yes, they are DEFINITELY attracted towards bright lights. And they aren’t a fan of water since it makes it difficult for them to fly. -Is actually still too young to properly fly for too long, they just flap around. ————  DREAM EATER COOKIE:

Relationships: Moonlight Cookie (Tension): “To hate me when I’m simply doing my job… that’s uncalled for dear~” Millennial Tree (Admiration): “To have slept for so long, and yet be immune to my magic, you truly are something.” Cyborg Cookie (Tension): “How much of a cookie is left, can you even dream, I wonder…” Extra Notes: -Don’t be fooled by his appearance, as he definitely isn’t a normal cookie. -Has the ability to enter others dreams and change them, is known for tricking cookies into allowing him to help them to get rid of nightmares, only to eventually leave them without any hopes and dreams. - Will charm others into letting him into his dreams, don’t be fooled. -No one knows WHERE he came from… He definitely has a bone to pick with Moonlight Cookie, but no one knows how far it really goes. -While he is incredibly powerful in the dream world, being able to do pretty much anything, he is pretty much an ordinary cookie in the real world, only really having the ability to put others to sleep.  ———— UMBRA COOKIE: Pronouns: She/Her Rank: Legendary Pet: N/A Age: Has been alive for too long to remember. She is Ageless and kept the appearance of an adult. Relationships: *Galaxy Cookie (Tension): “Can’t we just keep the past in the past?” Dark Enchantress Cookie (Tension): “Your powers are…WEIRDLY familiar…” Dark Choco Cookie (Tension): “Don’t look at me, I had NOTHING to do with that sword.” Matcha Cookie (Friendly): “Hee hee…You are a weird one, aren’t you?”

Extra Notes: -No one knows where she came from, one day she just- appeared. But it’s clear she has been around for way longer than most normal cookies. -There is definitely SOME bad past with Galaxy Cookie. -Has control over shadows and dark, is able to control them as if they were matter, and is also able to teleport using them. Some theorize she actually has power over Dark Matter, and that’s why her and Galaxy don’t get along. -Some also believe she has some sort of connection with Dark Enchantress, but even Umbra doesnt seem to know anything about that. -You would think having power over darkness, she would be evil or something, but in reality she is just pretty chill. Might have done some bad things in the past, but nowadays, she just keeps stuff for herself and doesn’t go off to destroy anything.  -”Bruh, im just… Im just chilling here.” -Has a huge knowledge of the modern times for someone who seems to have been gone for so long. In other words she is definitely meme trash. -Her whole body is made of shadow-like matter, and because of that she can just- cut pieces off and they will grow back in no time. She doesn’t even have blood or anything like that. Her whole body is made of shadow magic, and as long as she has shadow energy in her, she is fine.  -Hair and cloak are made of shadows, so they usually move and create small particles of shadow every now and then. -Might give vampire vibes, but if anything she is more like a demon. -Collects magical shadow energy as long as she stays in the dark, and then converts said shadow energy into keeping her form and to do any of her shadow magic, so that’s why she wears a cloak that covers pretty much all of her body, she is constantly gathering energy.  -Because of that, she is 90% of the time walking around completely covered with her cloak, like she is an walking burrito or something. Gotta always gather that shadow energy.

#cookie run #cookie run ocs #cr ocs #cr oc #my art #Dream Eater Cookie is shameless inspired completely by a vocaloid song #and I have no shame admiting it. #AND OK SO UMBRA MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE HDKJADHD #I lowkey made her just a cookie version of one of my OCs so that might be why pff #She just be chilling bruh.

Do the skelebros know about any of the Pokemon games? And if so (Including Sword and Shield in this) do they have a favourite pokemon? Cause I saw the post about Nicknames between the skelebaes and their SO's, and the 'apple' centred ones for Papyrus made me instantly think of the new Apple-based pokemon that is in Sword/Shield :D Wonder if he'd like it~

I actually haven’t seen the leaked Sword and Shield Pokémon, and I’m mentally debating whether I want to or not. When I was younger, I waited until the game was there in my hands before I saw any of the new Pokémon that weren’t officially revealed pre-release.

Since I’ve decided I’m going to buy a Switch Lite in the future now that I have a source of income, I’m just wondering if I’ll stick to tradition.

But this apple Pokémon sounds really cute~

Ok, the skeleton boys’ favorite Pokémon:

It kind of takes them a little bit to get into the series, since they’re initially a little weirded out by the fact that Pokémon stands for ‘pocket monster’, but on the other hand, they’re all pretty happy there’s media out there where the monsters are friends with the human player character and not just enemies for them to slash down.

Sans - The Clefairy line. No, really. He thinks they’re adorable, what with their little curls and tiny fangs and wings. Also, according to sources in-game, Clefairy supposedly descended from the moon, and that catches his interest.

Papyrus - Lopunny! Lopunny reminds him of several of his fluffy neighbors in Snowdin, and Buneary reminds him a lot of Chara. Both seemed to despise him at first, but over time they formed a bond that’s unbreakable!

UF Sans - Gengar. Gengar is powerful, chubby and mischievous, just like him. He wants one so bad… but isn’t Gengar also a monster…? Wouldn’t that be kind of weird? He’s gotta think about this for a while…

UF Papyrus - Darkrai. Darkrai is a legendary and powerful mythical Pokémon, and Papyrus admires its strength and prestige, as well as the horror factor surrounding it.

US Sans: Togekiss - Yes, they’re big speckled… bird things. But they’re brutal in battle, and this is coming from someone who used a Togekiss to win countless battles and won using only that Pokémon. Cute, friendly, but also fierce in battle, like Blueberry!

US Papyrus - Alcremie. He loves all the Pokémon that are based off of or have designs that look like food. And no, he doesn’t care what the Genwunners have to say about their designs being ‘lazy’. Geodude is a rock with eyes, arms, and a mouth!

SF Sans - Aggron. Aggron is powerful, sturdy, and large and in charge, just like himself. He likes Tyranitar as well, but Tyranitar just isn’t as regal or majestic as Aggron, in his opinion.

SF Papyrus - Gardevoir. This Pokémon is a loving protector, one that would defend their trainer at the risk of their life. However, the relationship would be reversed between the two, I believe; he’d be reluctant to let her battle.

Gaster!Sans - Banette. The concept of a Pokémon coming into existence due to a toy being tossed away that bore a grudge over this pricked at his SOUL, so he would have one and comfort himself with the thought that being loved again by another would ease its grudge.

Gaster!Papyrus - Mimikyu! Like his brother, Mimikyu’s story was just too sad for him to bear. If he owned one, I think he would want to sew his a wide array of different disguises, so Mimikyu could be whoever they wanted whenever. But Green still hopes to one day see what’s underneath the cloth…

Horse Girl: What happened to white Darren?!

So, I had someone else pick the movie. Whenever others are involved, you gotta have them pick, so that if it's bad, you can blame them. That's how we come to "Horse Girl"!

I went into it cold. All I knew was that Alison Brie is in it, and I'm here for all things Alison Brie. 

With a name like "Horse Girl", I thought there was a slim chance that it might end up being a superhero flick. Alison is finally getting her own solo comic book hero franchise. Perhaps she'll have powers similar to Aquaman, but instead of sea creatures, she talks to horses.

I thought that perhaps she'd have the power to turn into a horse; kinda like that movie "Tusk". Have any of y'all ever watched "Tusk"? 

Yeah, don't watch that movie; it's awful. 

In retrospect, I still don't know why this movie is called "Horse Girl". There is a horse in the movie, but... idk. Plus, shouldn't it really be "Horse Woman"? I do believe that Alison Brie is around my age. But, maybe it's a PR move. Spider-Man, in many adaptations, is really a teenager, but referring to himself as a man. Which is good, cuz I don't want to be rescued by a "Spider-Boy"; having a teenage boy flick things out of his body in order to save me? - I can't get behind that.

"Horse Girl", I can work with, cuz I'm thinking she's fresh to the hero game, unjaded, and has a real future in front of her... maybe one that involves a better code name. 

(Look how happy she is... a real go-getter. I question her horse selection though, but she’ll learn. That horse has def been into the stuff.”

"Horse Woman" has already made her bad choices. She's used up. Frankly, I don't have a whole lot of confidence in her.

The beginning of this movie is very girlie. Do I mean that in a bad way? - not necessarily; it's just a fact. Kinda like, um... "Jane the Virgin". 

Nothing wrong with that show (I guess... I’ve never seen it), but I can't imagine a group of men getting together to watch it.  "Yo, y'all ready to watch a lil Jane the V?! Maybe she gonna pop that cherry tonight, man! She might just pop it! Yeah!"

Is that what the show is about? Her trying desperately each week for love or lust, and neither ever coming her way? What a sad show. But, I hear it's good, just girlie.

Meanwhile, I'm enduring the girliness of Alison Brie's fabric store, zumba sessions, bracelet making time, crying in the shower time, and upbeat convos with girl friends. I'm thinking to myself "When is she going to have her superhero origin moment?" Where's the vat of toxic waste that she falls into? 

Have a radioactive horse gnaw on her! Where's the villain?! Where's the fight?! Let's go!

She does have a bitchy roommate and her tool of a boyfriend. Apparently, her roommate thinks that Alison's life style is pathetic: working at a fabric store and home to watch her favorite supernatural cop show (every day). Every now and then, she pesters some horse, its caretakers, and some young girl who rides the horse (I know what you're thinking - “Maybe this young girl will end up being the legendary “HORSE GIRL". Nope. Again, I don't understand the choice of title for this movie). Her bitchy roommate's judgmental pestering does lead to a fling for Alison. A man by the name of "Darren".

He looks more like a "Dave" to me. Or a “Ken”.  I wish he had a different name; he probably wishes the same. White Darrens... just... no.

A nice guy, but he's one of those people who should really end their thoughts in convo a few paragraphs earlier. Socially, he’s like a quicksand of blah. A cake with “meh” icing - I blame his name, mostly for this.  And his dancing... goodness gracious! He dances like he’s being attacked by hornets.

Though Alison's dancing isn't anything to brag about either. She dances like she’s riding a bull.

But, you can't be a white Darren and dance like that; you've either got to get lessons or make a promise to humanity to never dance. Alison's beautiful. Pretty women can get away with being horrible dancers. In fact, I think it might make them more attractive. 

"You know, Alison, you're a 10. I didn't think I had a chance with you, until I saw you dance."

So far, I don't know what type of movie this is. Is it a romantic comedy? - not really, though it has funny moments in it. Superhero flick (I know that was a long shot)? Nope. 

It's too quirky to be a drama. 

Horror? There are some moments where Alison is sleep walking. I kept hoping that we'd get a scene where she's in the shadows holding an ax. Yes, Alison! Kill! Kill them! - but again, no.

The movie starts going in a mental illness direction. Alison Brie's character slowly starts to lose her mind. We learn that it's possibly something that runs in the family. Those of you who know me, know that I'm a big advocate for mental health care & mental illness awareness. I probably would have really connected with this movie on that level, if it was directed better. There's just too much artsy, wackiness smeared over this movie. I love the idea of this film and I love what the director was going for in many parts, but... idk.

There's a great cast here. Not only Alison Brie, but Molly Shannon... or do I have those two fist names backwards?  You know her... "Superstar".

Wait... that’ not right - that’s what popped up though. To my knowledge she has never played Jesus Christ in a musical.  Back in the day, she starred in a comedy from... wait a sec...

- you know what?? - it doesn’t matter. Maybe you don't know her anyway.  She's good in this; though it's a minor role. 

Aaaah, there she is.

Got my man Paul what's-his-face up in here! That’s my main man!

Who... um...  y’all probably don’t know either. To be honest, I barely know these people. What am I doing?

I’m trying to say that the acting talent is here! - regardless if you know peeps like Paul what’s-his-face or not. And the bitchy roommate and her annoying boyfriend really made me hate them, so that's points for their acting, I suppose.

This could have been a thoughtful drama about mental illness, with comedy sprinkled in, and making a point. The movie/Tv landscape needs more stuff like that (especially these days, with people losing it, during this pandemic).

It seems like the director was going more for "creative genius" acclaim. Unfortunately, he missed the mark, by a lot. Again, I saw what he (I'm assuming it's a he - I don't actually know) was going for, and there are some really creative parts here, but... the message is a bit muddy, and the pacing is rough at best (not unlike this post).

. You know what, I'm going to go ahead and say it's a man who directed this, because there's a nude scene from Alison Brie that doesn't really need to be there. The director is trying to show the mental collapse of this woman, and... you know... when people lose their minds, they tend to walk through their place of business naked. I'm sure that most male directors would have all main actresses have a similar scene, if they thought that they could get away with it. Picture "The Avengers" director -

"I really think that Scarjo needs to be nude in this scene.” 

“Maybe she's in the shower, when her team calls for help. She's so dedicated that she doesn't have time to put on clothes. It'll be a powerful scene. Trust me. Really zoom-in. Annnnd ACTION!"

That scene with Alison Brie is not terrible. Maybe I'm nitpicking.

It would have been a better use of Alison Brie's acting chops to have her walk in looking rough (maybe scantily clad... or in her underwear, if you must), but here could have been some of those artsy shots while she's walking around the store in a bit of a fugue state (if you do that butt-neked, it'll seem gratuitous). But, maybe have her say and do some things that have been building up through the movie, for an Oscar-Nudging climax, and emotional scene of her losing her grip on reality. But, far be it from me to be a backseat director. I'm just a rambling praphit. Just have her jiggle in, cry, and jiggle out. That's better.

Grade: an interesting D 

I'm glad that I watched it, because there are a lot of good ideas here, but... you know.

Of course, maybe she's not crazy after all. Things go super wacky towards the end. Something about aliens and clones. Oh, and she does technically get a superhero outfit.

Looking like a Power Ranger for some reason. 

There’s also a scene where she (as a Pink Power Ranger) gets it on with white Darren... like out of nowhere. But, did that even happen? Idk.

Was it all in her head? Was the reality of the sitch, that she broke into white Darren’s place, wrapped in pink fabric, and tried to dry-hump white Darren, while he was sleeping? Then, IN HER HEAD, he thinks that’s hot. She only THINKS that they got it on. In reality, he refused her crazy advances, and as a result, she kills him. She beheads him... with a spoon or something. The director is strange, so why not?? Or maybe she takes him (or his head) away as some alien sacrifice. It’s really weird, because after their “ sexy time” the movie just kinda moves on from him. It’s very awkward. 

What happened to white Darren?! What was real?! Who knows??

Things get crazier and crazier, until... I don't even know what happened. I guess they're leaving it up to the audience to decide whether or not it's all true or she’s crazy. It's hard to tell, sometimes, whether you've got a clever ending on your hands or a lazy director, who decides "Hey, let's do something really weird in the last scene

and then just... kinda... end."

Top 10 Personal Favorite Hit Songs from 2017

Not a very good year for hit songs. Still better than the next one, though.

And a very satisfying #1 that launched an entire infodump about a specific band. I’m not even sorry.

Disclaimers:

Keep in mind I’m using both the year-end top 100 lists from the US and from France while making these top 10 things. There’s songs in English that charted in my country way higher than they did in their home countries, or even earlier or later, so that might get surprising at times.

Of course there will be stuff in French. We suck. I know. It’s my list. Deal with it.

My musical tastes have always been terrible and I’m not a critic, just a listener and an idiot.

I have sound to color synesthesia which justifies nothing but might explain why I have trouble describing some songs in other terms than visual ones.

2017 might not sound super distant, but it’s already distant enough to analyse what started to happen to me that year with some clarity. This is when I started to lose some of my energy and motivation. A lot, in fact. Everything suddenly felt exhausting and this whole “what’s even the point of anything” mentality started to fall on my shoulders. And you know what, at first, while making these recaps, I had no idea what started it all. Was it that super rare infection I caught in early 2018 and almost made me lose a part of a finger? Was it both my grandfathers dying in mid 2018? Was it the general state of the world? But no, I did some digging and noticed this general exhaustion actually started right during summer 2017 and I was like what the f█ck happened in summer 2017? That summer was fine?

And then it clicked. I know exactly what kickstarted my spiral into about 18 months of depression, and it’s got nothing to do with health or family. It’s something that shouldn’t have affected my life in any way, and that I kinda tried to ignore at the time, and some of you might even find me overdramatic or cringy for letting it affect my life. But yeah, as I’ve realised while making these lists, Linkin Park was actually a super important part of my life, so it makes perfect sense: what started it all was Chester Bennington killing himself. Clearly, someone who had contributed so much to convince me that life was worth living and who suddenly decided it wasn’t worth it, that had a huge impact on me, whether I wanted it or not.

Aaaand now I’m crying again. Great.

Anyway. Uh. Important albums that year! Yeah so uh. Depeche Mode made Spirit and it wasn’t good, and so I kinda lost faith they would ever make a great album again, but I did realise one of my teenage dreams and saw them in concert in the Stade de France in July 2017 (it was huge. Going home after that felt like waking up from some sort of hypnotic trance. They even played Walking In My Shoes, one of my absolute favorite songs from them, along with a video featuring a trans person going to work and I started to bawl my eyes out in the middle of the f█cking crowd). Nine Inch Nails also made Add Violence and continued to be super good, and Indochine made 13, and while it wasn’t nearly as good as Black City Parade, it was also better than La République des Météors, so I was pretty happy about that. EDIT: Forgot about Under Your Spell by The Birthday Massacre, which blew my goddamn mind, but still not as much as the next album I'm gonna talk about.

But the defining album of the year, to me, was Mike Oldfield making a sequel to my favorite album from him, with Return to Ommadawn. Of course it’s not as good as Ommadawn. But still. If Ommadawn felt like discovering a new strange country full of weird folklore and forests and mysterious buildings, Return to Ommadawn feels like going back there half a century later and seeing things in ruins and wounded people, but still trying to seek beauty and joy in a partly destroyed landscape. It makes perfect sense considering the circumstances that surround the making of this thing, and it was the only way to make a good sequel to such a legendary album.

Unelligible songs that piss me off... uh, actually there’s only Cut to the Feeling by Carly Rae Jepsen. Why wasn’t it a huge hit. Come to think of it, why hasn’t any Carly Rae song been a huge hit since Good Times. This feels unfair.

Time for some honorable mentions, then.

Feels and also Slide (Calvin Harris and a lot of other people) - Got nothing to say about either of these songs, but they’re both pretty good.

Katchi (Ofenbach) - Nice little earworm.

No Roots (Alice Merton) - Super surprised this was a hit. Good.

OK (Robin Schulz ft James Blunt) - That’s a James Blunt song in the year of our lord 2017 and it sounds actually good??

What About Us (Pink) - Really caught my attention and made me wonder if I should listen to Pink again after a long streak of mediocre Pink songs.

Congratulations (Post Malone) - I find the song mostly boring but the guest verse ending with “uh, Malone... I gotta play on my phone...” is the stuff of legends and that got a chuckle out of me every time I heard it.

Glorious (Macklemore) - I’m glad this was a hit here but at the same time it’s not my favorite song from him. The music video is adorable, though.

Fly (Odyssey) - Nothing to say about that one.

XO Tour Life (Lil Uzi Vert) - The fact that I was regularly humming this is either a sign of quality or yet another sign I was depressed as shit.

Devil in Me (Purple Disco Machine) - What a great artist name.

Symphony (Clean Bandit) - Nothing to say here either, just good sound all around.

Attention (Charlie Puth) - 2017: The Year Charlie Puth Made A Great Song.

All Stars (Martin Solveig & Alma) - The last cut. It was on the list at some point. I really like it a lot, though.

And now, the list. The stuff I genuinely love starts at #6 and things that are still on my mp3 player to this day start at #4.

10 - Chained to the Rhythm (Katy Perry)

US: #73 / FR: #10

I just love the concept of a Katy Perry song about how Katy Perry songs are happy nonsense distracting you from actual issues. What can I say, I’m a sucker for meta stuff.

9 - Water Under The Bridge (Adele)

US: #88 / FR: Not on the list

An Adele song projecting actual positive energy!? That automatically goes on the list.

8 - Praying (Kesha)

US: #67 / FR: Not on the list

You know I mostly dislike slow emotional songs regardless of how good they actually are. I will, however, make an exception for this one even though I very rarely listen to it considering how emotionally taxing it is. That’s definitely a fantastic song, though.

7 - Viens On S’aime (Slimane)

US: Not on the list / FR: #53

“Listen, we love each other, f█ck it, f█ck their words and their decorum, listen, we love each other, f█ck it, f█ck their ideas and what they’re saying”. Well said, dude, well said.

6 - There’s Nothing Holding Me Back (Shawn Mendes)

US: #23 / FR: #91

That’s a very good song for running and that is becoming increasingly rarer, so I’ll take what I can get.

5 - Paris (The Chainsmokers)

US: #42 / FR: Not on the list (that’s irony for you)

Unlike Closer this is an unrelatable song about rich young people that can afford to live in Paris just “to get away from [their] parents” but honestly that’s the only negative thing I have to say against it. It sounds fantastic.

4 - Castle On The Hill (Ed Sheeran)

US: #40 / FR: #50

We’ve now entered the realm of songs that are still on my mp3 player to this day. This is the only Ed Sheeran song I’ve ever liked, and I love it. It sounds like a lost U2 song. Maybe from a strange dimension where U2 became more fragile and emotional instead of more pretentious.

I have no idea why this guy keeps making such boring stuff when he’s got that kind of song in him. I have no clue.

3 - Something Just Like This (Coldplay & The Chainsmokers)

US: #5 / FR: #19

Hey so Coldplay is still on my lists, apparently. It’s a bit too slow, some lyrics about superheros don’t make much sense, and the drop isn’t super good, but my god, that guitar near the end makes everything worth it. Just amazing colors and textures all around.

It’s not even my favorite song on that EP! I think Miracles (Someone Special) is even better, but eh, this one is a close second.

2 - 24k Magic (Bruno Mars)

US: #16 / FR: Not on the list (#13 in 2016 but I put it on the 2017 list instead)

Am I the only one to like this more than Uptown Funk? It’s so much fun to sing along to it. And unlike Uptown Funk, it’s making me feel nostalgic for an era I actually (vaguely) knew, the super colorful and ridiculous early 90s. My s.o loves it too and when it comes up on the radio or on our playlists you can bet we’re both going PUT YOUR. PINKY. RINGS UP. TO THE. MOOOOOOOON like two idiots.

This is the song I could have put on the previous list but elected to put on this list instead since it was elligible for both years, by the way! Since 2017 was less good than 2016, I thought it would be more interesting to save such a great song for later.

It would have topped the list too, if it wasn’t for something I didn’t expect to be elligible before reading the French year-end list.

Strap yourselves in, because I had no real opportunity to talk about this band at length in the posts made for the years when it was the most relevant in my life, so this is going to be quite long.

1 - La Vie Est Belle (Indochine)

US: Not on the list / FR: #44

As you already know if you remember some of my previous lists, Indochine is a band I started to love right in the middle of the absolute worst years of my life. These guys had been around since the 80s as a super successful new wave band, then became very unpopular and went underground for about twelve years in the entire 90s, then one of them died, then every member except the singer basically rotated, and then they suddenly re-emerged in 2002-2003 with Paradize, a monster of an album, full of energy, sinister themes and weird provocative songs, and an entire generation of angsty teenagers (me included as you can guess) embraced it wholeheartedly.

And all of a sudden Indochine was the favorite French mainstream band of local young punk/goths! So many kids with the Indochine logo in highschool. Nowadays the band is mocked and well-loved in equal doses by just about everyone, but I suspect it’s just because we’ve all grown up.

Placebo, Linkin Park and Indochine were the bands that ruled my entire world in 2003/2004. My mother hated all three of them, because of course she did, but especially Indochine, because according to her it was partly their fault if I was gender non-conforming. See, she used to say, they had put all kinds of bad ideas in my head and now I was all messed up.

...Holy shit, that’s a lot of blame to put on a ridiculous new wave band who’s first hit song from 1983 is just a long nonsensical list of shitty old Bob Morane pulp novels.

But here’s the problem. Even if Indochine kept having hit song after hit song, those were never the best songs on their albums. Here I am, 31, making these top ten lists since last December, and becoming more and more frustrated to see none of my favorite modern Indochine songs are elligible. My favorite Paradize singles were Mao Boy, Popstitute and especially Marilyn (god, this song rocked my entire year alongside Placebo’s The Bitter End. 2003 was such a fantastic year for dark energetic hit songs)? Too bad, the biggest hits were J’ai demandé à la lune and Le Grand Secret. Alice & June had four fantastic singles? Too bad, none of them is elligible! Same thing for the entirety of Black City Parade. Oh, but that song I hate from La Republique des Météors is elligible, I guess!

So we’re in summer 2017, and my life is completely different now, and Indochine releases La Vie Est Belle (I’m linking the album version and not the music video because it has some violent themes in it). I’m in my car doing some errands and the local radio goes “hey new song from Indochine” and I’m like “oh shit, gotta hear this” and then two minutes later “oh wow, that is super good. Won’t be a hit though”.

And yet, it was a hit! It became huge, even! And at that point I was already loving that song even though I thought it was just a super good but tragic love song about a significant other dying too young.

And then, about a month later, the wordplay of the first line finally hit me with the force of a semitruck. It’s not a love song. It’s a song about the singer’s dead twin. Who died in 1999.

It’s such a devastating, beautiful song, and yet it’s full of energy. I. adore. it. It’s exactly the kind of song you need to continue to fight and to live and to help other people in this day and age. “Life is beautiful and cruel, it looks like us sometimes” indeed. And it’s one of the best on the album, too!

So yes, 15 years after I first fell in love with this band and after they helped me during super dark times, finally, I can put one of their songs at the top of one of these lists, hands down, no debate whatsoever.

That probably sounds ridiculous but it’s genuinely making me feel extremely emotional.

Next up: I thought music sucked that year because I was depressed but I relistened to it and no it wasn’t just me

Status; Legendary (Demon! Hoseok x Reader)

Word count: 5,3k

Pairing: Demon! Hoseok x Reader

Genre: Fluff, Supernatural (not the show), Romance, Smut

Disclaimer: Hell is described from my own imagination, I have many variations of it I didn’t base it onto anything really, didn’t follow any religious tones or anything, it’s all based loosely and it is just fiction.

Summary; Inspired by this post: Why would I fuck a demon? Simple, the status. Imagine rolling up into hell already having had your back blown out by one of their own. Imagine you and a gang of other losers standing at the gates of hell, they’re all crying, scared to death about having a pitchfork up their ass for eternity and you just walk into the arms of your sugar demon? Legendary.

Authors Notes: Optional the song ‘Legend’ by ‘The Score’ listen to it when the gates open

‘’You can’t be serious!’’

‘’Oh, come on baby girl! Its been a while!’’ the puppy eyes he offers doesn’t help my case ‘’Don’t you love me no more?’’

‘’Do you want me to punch you that bad?’’ I threaten nerves spiking at the stupid last comment which has him giggling, and wrapping his arm around me properly burying his face into my neck again, breath ghosting over my bare skin ‘’Laugh it off yeah.’’ I nod along clapping my hands holding them over him, as he’s comfortably rested over me ‘’I have practice in 2 hours Hoseok-ah. Final stages you know we’ll be repeating the routine over, and over, and over and over again…’’ he bites into my neck stopping my rant by making me yelp. I lower my head down to glare at him, not surprised upon seeing the devilish smirk he’s offering.

‘’Didn’t stop you any time before, love.’’ He teases, crawling closer again his hard-on very present against my thigh, hands itching upwards.

‘’Did I ever tell you how annoying you are?’’ I sigh glaring at the ceiling trying to hide my smile, as he switches to pressing kisses to my neck.

‘’Twice a day everyday yes.’’ He jokes raising onto his elbows and hovers close making my eyes dart to his lips then back up. He grins widely ridiculously so but I can’t help it as the feeling of love and affection towards him overtakes me. My heart fucking soars even more so at his widening smile which is proof that he can hear how it speeds up ‘’So is that a yes?’’ he goes on blinking innocently tilting his head for effect which works. I should be saying no, I will regret this so much this whole week not only tomorrow. But what am I supposed to do? Say no? To him?

‘’Fine.’’ I groan which has him leaning in stealing a kiss ‘’But you better massage my poor sore muscles later, and draw me a bath and…’’ as I list the things, I want he’s quick to kick of the blanket we were under, and lie on his back, his hands dragging me by my forearms up and over so I’m straddling him. One glance down at his hard cock, and up his abs it has heat pooling in my cheeks, as well as spreading all over my body, my core getting practically zapped with arousal that’s gradually starting to rise, especially when I met his black eyes which are filled with lust.

‘’Anything my queen wants ugh…’’ he groans when I move my hips his cock sliding between my lower lips, my arousal and wetness starting to increase ‘’…and desires.’’ His tone goes deep, making me shiver and smirk at the affect I have on him while he’s staring at me with lips parted eyes terrifyingly black, which make him look like the embodiment of sin, despite my own position and doings that would suggest otherwise from another point of view as I am, teasing him, rubbing my pussy over his aching hard almost purple colored dick.

‘’Anything?’’ I ask looking down at him, sinking my bloody red nails into his shoulders. It was spur of a moment to do a manicure but he loved them instantly as I wore a matching lipstick the previous night when he came over under the pretense of us having a chill movie night in. I buck my hips harshly his hands lifting up to my hips, grip tight but not enough to bruise me.

‘’Ahh, please….’’ He breathes out as I move my hips forwards and backwards basically getting myself off more, as his dick brushes against my clit perfectly whenever I sway forward. I simply grin mimicking his devilish smile from before, licking over my lower lip once he opens his eyes cocking an eyebrow up. He groans again mewls practically, hands forcing my hips back where they stay. I drop onto one elbow getting closer. He’s quick to raise up wanting to meet my lips into a bruising kiss I assume, hence why I duck back avoiding him ending up chuckling amusedly, the thunderously low growl he lets out is indicating danger, and would concern anyone, but it only tells me I’m doing everything right.

‘’Impatient, aren’t we?’’ I continue to taunt him and with the hand I’m not supporting myself I use my fingers to trace them down the side of his face. He furrows his brows and pouts fingers raising as they dig into the flesh of my ass making me grin showing of my teeth another whine ripping from his lips.

‘’You are mean.’’ he whines adorably, as I lift my ass up and start slowly leaning in to press a kiss to the corner of his lips, trailing my lips upwards to his temple as I brace myself, hand shooting down once I don’t feel him against me. I grasp his cock, blowing some air past his ear down his neck which has him shuddering underneath me, hands tugging me downwards, while my fingers work over the tip of his cock, thumb occasionally brushing over the slit which earns me an occasional breathless moan.

‘’I’m just making you feel good Hobi.’’ I tease ending up chuckling leaning up to look at how frustrated he is, black eyes staring at me. He looks dangerous whenever he lets go of his concentration, with blank eyes which still after all this time I have a feeling like they see into my soul. And they do which makes this whole thing more exhilarating to have someone like him, a powerful demon underneath me like this rendered into a whining and sensitive mess.

‘’You ar…’’ he hisses as I let go of his cock and trail my hand up brushing my palm from my fingers down over his nipple, that has him tugging me down because of the clearly unexpected touch ‘’Y/N…’’ he practically growls and I think if he was more heated up or frustrated there would be smoke coming from his mouth, judging by the serious glare he is giving me. I pout at him innocently, blinking a few times for good measure and then lean in pressing the lightest kiss to his nose, pushing myself to straighten up for a moment, his eyes falling down over my body.

Running my hand through my hair I push it away to the side, keeping my eyes on him as he takes me in, his own hands having fallen down my thighs where they are resting ‘’Good boy.’’ I say sounding impressed his eyes snapping up to meet my own. We’ve been together for so long, so the eye thing doesn’t scare me anymore at all. (or the horns on occasion and other things) He’s quick to raise up, posture proper while his arms raise, fingertips pressing onto the skin over my spine, while his eyes melt back to the normal warm brown color which I first fell in love with.

‘’You’re pushing it today.’’ He murmurs as, as I let the tips of my nails gently rake downwards over his front, all the way till his cock, fingers stopping near the base ‘’Reallyyyyyy, pushing it.’’ he says through his teeth, as his fingers trace the round complex symbols that he left over my back and spine. They serve as protection marks, and it’s a way of claiming me as I’m a mere human and very, very fragile in his own words.

‘’Not more than the usual, my prince.’’ I murmur pressing a kiss to his forehead, the head of his cock pressing against my entrance as I grasp his dick firmer ‘’I’m just stating that you are being good, and that I should maybe give you a reward but I’m not so sure right now, with the attitude you are giving me.’’ I have my right hand resting on his shoulder, feeling how he tenses up at my words.

He growls more animalistic as he glares as me with a dark look, but I proceed to lower myself down mouth falling open at the sensation. Even though we’ve just both cum not even 15 minutes ago, the feeling of him entering me, will never get boring or the same. It’s like my body is made for him, it knows and anticipates his touches. Even seeing him arouses me, I crave him in every sense. And I shouldn’t; he is a demon after all, but life is too short. You gotta fuck up at some point in your life, but I’m not counting him as a mistake.

‘’FFfffaaaaaaa…’’ he slurs out grip on my hips tight, as I readjust blood rushing through my veins, heart pounding in my ears the feeling of fulness overwhelming me for a solid moment. Staring down at him, his eyes have fallen shut mouth parted, chest raising up and down heavily. Experimentally I rock my hips forward and back which has him letting out a moan from the depths of his throat, as I settle into gentle rocking, my nipples brushing against his every time I rock forward.

It feels so fucking good, it’s so hard keeping the concentration of simply rocking myself, lifting and lowering only slightly for starters. He fills me up so good, cock thick, and curved just right so it brushes against my g-spot dead on, every time I move. Its why it doesn’t take long to bring me to my height. At the mere thought of him fucking into me moving hips as if he’s a dancer has me clenching up, fingers digging into his shoulder, only prickling his skin.

‘’M-move, princessss…’’ he breathes out his hands letting go of me, in favor of tracing his long slim fingers upwards my ribs to cup my breasts firmly as an encouragement. I’ve long reached the point where my brain is turned to much, so I simply follow his order and brace myself lifting up, and then fall back down onto him. I can feel his tights clench whenever I lower down, and fingers pinch my nipples whenever I raise up. My thighs work with effort as I bounce on him, changing it up by moving my hips at one point, doing figure 8 while he eagerly latches his mouth onto one nipple. It makes me shudder, feeling his tongue run around it before it flickers over, teeth sinking into the nub a moment lately harshly leaving in it’s wake some pain with the pleasurable sensation.

Gathering some sanity, despite the pleasurable slide again my walls, I place my hands firmly onto his shoulders bringing his attention up to me ‘’Lie down.’’ I simply say which has him tilting his head briefly, expression shifting into one of pleasure a moment later as I slam myself harder down onto him. He goes down willingly with a high-pitched hum. I brace my hands over his chest getting steadier which helps me speed up the sensations insanely pleasurable from how wet and turned on I am, and how perfect he is inside me, reaching so deep.

With parted lips, I stare down at my boyfriend watching his reactions carefully. He has tilted his head back, eyes tightly closed concentration clear. I smirk to myself, the tingles in my neglected clit making me want to reach down but I hold myself back, clenching around him, his hands snapping finally onto my hips.

‘’Are you close baby??’’ I tease grinning widely even more once he manages to open his eyes, them darting down where we are connected before he looks up at me, with the familiar blankness the sensation of being exposed once more present.

‘’S-so c-close…’’ he hisses thrusting up, the movement not entirely surprising me but at the angle he thrusted more forcefully it has the head of his dick slightly brushing against my g-spot. My head falls forward fingers digging into his skin, as my momentum breaks thighs aflame by now.

But he is quick to whine and then readjust his grip on me, raising me up and then just starts to thrust into me without abandon. Gasping a shout gets lost upon the assault of pleasure, my mind getting completely fogged up. I barely register as I’m being flipped over, and my legs are being bent up almost till my head while he hovers over me, covering me up ‘’T-that’s it, princesssss…’’ he hisses in the end, holding onto me beneath the knees, keeping me in place as he pistons away pace brutal, skin hitting skin which is the loudest sound in the room besides the moans that at one point started to spill from my lips.

Its maddening, the feeling, the thought of him, the everything…

‘’Eyes on me princess.’’ Comes a surprisingly steady order, his husky voice making me clench automatically, with which I do earn myself a guttural moan from him. Opening my eyes, I don’t miss how his gorgeous expression twists into one of pleasure again, eyebrows furrowed eyes having turned normal as they re-focus back onto me with a glare of pure lust.

‘’H-H-Hob-b-i…’’ I barely manage out, the tidal wave of destruction reaching its peak in my lower belly, only a string holding it together. Its starting to hurt, my clit throbbing, everything starting to feel too much but not enough. I’m getting sensitive and I know he knows it because he shifts his knees right under me, and slows his thrust down in favor or going deeper and harder, literally knocking air out of my lungs.

‘’I got you baby…’’ he breathes out smiling, letting go of my legs to lean forward on one elbow as he cups my cheek, his other hand disappearing from my view. I stare at him completely starstruck, enamored with every part of my soul. Eyes darting to his lips he instantly closes the distance into a messy kiss which he takes advantage to swallow my moans, as in the same moment his fingers make contact with my clit.

He continues to move steadily, some thrust faster than other which means he’s close but is persisting because of me. The thought alone, has me clenching again and just looking at him once he leans back is enough. A flick from his skilled fingers just breaks that string and releases the tidal wave, that makes stars explode everywhere a pleasant white noise starting to play in my ears. I faintly hear his grunts as he just fucks me without abandon, quick to reach his own release. He shudders a few times, moans occasionally leave from his lips as he accommodates our both, lowering my legs down into a comfortable position while he still remains inside me, and now lies his head comfortably over my chest. Now the loudest sound in the room is our labored breathing, brains fried.

‘’I think you broke a part of my brain.’’ Comes the statement making me instantly chuckle once the words register properly ‘’What? It’s true!’’ he persists groaning, as he shifts raising his head up. Only now I notice how his hair has gotten messed up, some strands plastered onto his forehead others sticking out in every direction.

‘’I did no such thing.’’ My voice has gone a bit too from all the moaning, but nothing a nice cut of tea can’t fix ‘’You owe me big time though. My thighs are…’’ I groan shifting my leg briefly feeling the burn ‘’I want a bath, pizza, candles the fancy nice smelling ones, wine, your attention the whole night…’’

He ends up chuckling kissing my cheek and then lips shutting me up, as I smile opening my eyes which have fallen closed ‘’Make a list for me, I’ll make sure to do whatever my queen wishes.’’ He smiles genuinely, cupping my face gently while his eyes take me in as if he’s trying to engrave my features in his memory.

‘’Good.’’ I reply cockily ‘’You better.’’

Chuckling he leans in to kiss me again, even though its awkward as we’re both smiling ‘’Everything and anything for you.’’ He whispers breaking the kiss, leaning his forehead against my own.

‘’Everything, anything and beyond.’’ I whisper in return. Fuck how much I fucking love this man. He’s doing to be the death of me.

*30 minutes later*

Two…alright 5 steps out of my apartment and out into the cold, very cold freezing weather the frown just etched itself onto my expression, glare accompanying it. every step I make is not pleasant, my thighs burning with the strain from before. It’s as if it’s leg day that kind of pain after a 1-hour workout. And just as my luck would have it, the bus arrives just before me so I had to sprint before the bus driver would just drive away. I hate running but I hate being late even more. I’m not even surprised as every single seat on the bus is taken, or the guy that shamelessly pushes me away before I can sit myself next to an old lady who even offered a polite smile and nod to join her. alright asshole. The cheery on the top is that I get pushed to the middle of the long vehicle, and have people standing in my personal space.

Also, I got to say people are weird. Humans are weird. Surprisingly they freak me out more than for example demons. There’s this one girl that’s staring at me intensely, which prompted me to turn around, and yet I can see her reflection in the windows on some turns. But it does enable me to see the pitch-black eyes. Ugh. I don’t need to deal with demons today either, so it would be nice if she’d fuck off but that’s probably too much to ask. As the song ends through my earphones, I bring my phone out smiling at the lengthy text message I got from Hoseok, which contains mostly hearts that cover the whole screen of my phone.

Shifting the song into a more upbeat one, I hock my arm around the pole and start to reply with ‘I love you’s’ in all the languages I know and have learned as we both learned to say I love you in multiple languages. Yes, we are that cute!

Everything happens instantly thought. Through the earphones I faintly hear the screech of wheels, just as my finger hits send, my head snaps up towards the front of the bus where I watch as a car gets flipped over heading directly towards us. I literally don’t have any time to feel any kind of way, or to react for that matter.

I just blink in confusion as I don’t exactly comprehend what happened and is happening. At one point I’m literally watching how the car hits the windshield of the bus shattering it into million tiny bits of deadly glass, but before one can hit me with a blink of an eye, I find myself somewhere completely else. I blink in complete confusion at the weirdly blue wasteland I’m standing in. Its as if its night time, but with a ceiling that’s kind of like a sky without any kind of starts or cloud or planets, there’s only infinity of nothingness. The ground is solid, not concrete or laminated its just…solid flawless ground. My music is still blasting but has switched onto the playlist Hoseok made for me.

I don’t miss how the song that’s playing the title is ‘Save my Soul’.

Narrowing my eyes, I glance around and properly turn on my feet only now realizing I’m not alone. There’s are a few people near and around me, some looking as I am around in confusion, some are freaking out badly, and the rest are just standing still like statues frozen, which has me thinking that maybe they haven’t processed what had happened.

Squinting my eyes in the distance I can see something which gets my immediate attention…okay it’s not glinting because there’s no sunlight but I see something shiny. Given that there’s nothingness all around me, I scratch my itchy nose and glance around at the confused people before making the first step heading towards the thing.

I take my phone out briefly checking for the service which there’s none, and I’m not really surprised that there isn’t any. So, I continue listening to music, making my way forward glaring at whoever tries to approach me, as some look at me clearly confused and lost, and with puppy eyes but I ignore them making my way forward. They do start to follow me, the hysteric ones luckily at a safe distance. I take a glance at their faces noticing two things; 1. The girl that stared at me isn’t present, 2. This is half of the bus of people I rode with.

Shaking my head to myself, my fingers wrap around the pepper spray in the jacket I have on which is Hoseok’s as I stole it because its warmer, the fake fur inside the jacket truly a blessing for the chilly autumn. Although here right now I don’t feel particularly anything, temperature or emotionally wise. I mean there is this urgency I feel, but unlike some I can’t bring myself to worry about this situation. The shiny thing I was talking about is actually a gated door and fence on both side of it, only stretching around I don’t know either it’s 1 meter or 5 I’m bad at judging distance and math in general. Its bronze…of course it is. It looks fancy to, reminding me of the one in Buckingham palace in London, its in that style but with more details on it. I don’t know what’s the point of it exactly besides the appealing decorations, so I just figure it must be magic or something.

Reaching it I stop a few steps away, admiring it squinting my eyes looking for any clues as; why the fuck its here. Why the fuck am I here? Where the fuck am I even? Why the fuck am I using so many fucks?!

‘’Run! We should run while we still can!’’ a guy starts to shout in hysteria next to me suddenly, as he stares at the gates in horror ‘’RUN FOR YOUR LIVES!!’’ he goes on turning to stare at me urgently itching closer to touch me, but I pull my hand out pointing my finger at him in warning daring him to move an inch. He clearly reconsiders it gulping nervously.

‘’There’s nowhere to run!’’ a girl says behind us getting his attention as I tug my earphones out ‘’It’s all emptiness! Where even are we?!’’ she goes on her breathing getting laboured eyes glossy.

‘’I’m not supposed to be here!!’’ another guy says.

‘’What the fuck do we do!’’

As the people gather around complaining raising their voices, I keep calm and collected going as far as to fold my earphones and put them away in my bag. At least I got all my things with me here. Taking the water bottle I’ve got I take a sip examining the gates again.

‘’How can you be so calm?’’ a voice cuts through the crowd shushing everyone down. I glance to the side at the angry looking man, capping the bottle back. Is the asshole who stole my seat.

‘’Panic isn’t going to help me.’’ I reply simply shrugging, zipping up my bag again.

‘’We’re in hell, aren’t we?’’ at the statement I glance to the old man on the edge of the group of 20 people. He looks calm staring at the gates unimpressed, before he looks towards us in question. It has everyone clearly thinking looking at the gates and around themselves. I cross my arms pursing my lips as I examine the symbols on the crests on the doors.

‘’Oh no.’’

‘’I can’t be here!’’

‘’Stop joking around old man!’’

‘’Don’t say nonsense!’’

‘’It can’t be hell!’’

‘’Yep this is definitely hell, fuck.’’

‘’Stop saying that!!!!’’

‘’Hey lady calm down.’’

‘’I don’t want to die I don’t deserve this!!!’’

‘’What is your deal?’’ the same man from before is suddenly right in front of me glaring down ‘’You’re the only calm one, what’s your problem? Do you know something that we don’t?’’ he hisses in the end, standing way to close to my liking, the scene he’s making capturing everyone’s attentions again.

‘’Yeah, what’s wrong with you??’’ another guy asks.

‘’She knows something! Tell us!! Where the fuck are, we?’’ a woman demands, while I keep glaring at the tall man before me, in his mid-thirties is my guess, wearing a decent suit, and has a polished up typical hairstyle. I just stare at him unfaltering which is clearly pissing him off. Anger issues?

‘’I don’t know anything like you.’’ I reply back calmly ‘’Stop assuming shit.’’

‘’Little girl you better tell us what’s happening…’’ he starts.

‘’I NEED TO GET HOME!’’ a woman rushes over putting herself into my face ‘’I HAVE 3 KIDS, THEY NEED ME! I’M A LOVING MOTHER I NEED TO GET BACK TO THEM!’’ she insists crying, as I back away. The shouts begin like domino after her, the people all suddenly yelling right at me. I settle for turning my back onto them and glaring at the gates, wondering if we are in hell for real. The crest on the doors that gets my attention the most is the one on top. My eyes only briefly glance over it, the picture it represents, the bloody red diamond getting my attention. As if it knows and senses my curiosity something in the air shifts, a light breeze suddenly whisking past us, making the people finally shut up, and stare at the gates that are opening.

The door doesn’t even fully start to open when a guy is suddenly walking from the other side. I only give him an unimpressed glare as he strides to the line of the gates with a cheerful smile on his face, wearing all black of course, tight jeans, and a long shirt that has see through sleeves. The belt he has over his chest, and around his waist I narrow my eyes slightly at because okay my first thought is kinky, but his attire is kind of hot I’m not going to lie. His hair is parted making him look more dangerous once the smile turns slightly sinister as he glances around at the people, until he meets my gaze. His mood shifts as a gentle smile appears expression softening.

‘’There you are.’’ He says clearly unbothered by the people staring. He raises his hand up in invitation as I straighten up from my slightly hunched position ‘’C’mon we’re going to be late!’’ he says enthusiastically urging me on.

‘’Yeah yeah.’’ I grumble ‘’My legs hurt still.’’ I point out no fucks given for the others as I stalk walking towards my boyfriend who looks to giddy about this whole situation.

‘’Awww my poor princess.’’ He coos as I quickly reach him taking his hand in my own.

‘’Hey!!’’ the guy from before shouts interrupting Hobi just as he was about to say something ‘’What about us?!’’ turning back he’s glaring at my boyfriend.

‘’Yeah what about us?’’ the uproar begins quickly but nobody dares to step forward which I find fascinating. They do protest and shout and demand answers. I turn to the love of my life instead looking up at him in question.

‘’Can we go?’’ I ask instead shifting from one foot to another. He grins wider tugging me closer to him but doesn’t give me a kiss or anything yet.

‘’We can in 30 seconds. Jimin is on his way, to take care of them.’’ He replies casually and then points with his other hand to the man that ganged up on me from the very beginning ‘’You!’’ he states ‘’You’ve earned yourself additional penalties for harassing not only a sweet and fairly innocent young woman…’’ I quickly jab my elbow into his side briefly making him chuckle ‘’…but also for even considering of touching her, and for having filthy thoughts about her. She’s mine.’’ The last part comes out as a growl anger rising. I can feel he’s trying to hold himself back ‘’If you weren’t dead already…’’ he tilts his head to the side taking in a breath, while I squeeze my hand tighter in his.

‘’Let it go Hope-ah.’’ I try to assure him glancing back at Jimin who’s smirking already as he approaches us, wearing similar attire that looks way sexual to me ‘’Hey Jiminie.’’ I greet him his smirk widening.

‘’Hey little bird.’’ I only shake my head at the nickname as I don’t find it fitting but he’s to stubborn to change his mind.

‘’Are you done?’’ Hoseok snaps suddenly making me chuckle.

‘’Okay that’s enough.’’ The guy suddenly states starting to march towards us angrily. I raise an eyebrow as he approaches us watching as his steps falter, eyes widening as he stares ahead of us, eyes widening fear twisting his features ‘’No.’’ he whispers ‘’No. NO!’’ and there it is madness. I curiously glance to my left past the gate but I don’t see anything just more wasteland.

‘’I want this one and those 5 others given special privileges.’’ Hoseok says casually. I know it’s an order thought. Glancing at Jimin his sweet smile turns upwards more promising nothing good for the said 5 chosen ones.

‘’Noted and notified hyung.’’ he says sweetly ‘’It will be my honour to deliver the privileges myself.’’

‘’You have one runaway. A guy ran off.’’ I quickly pipe in the now blue haired demon giving me a thankful and pleasant smile nodding his head.

‘’Have fun Noona.’’ Is what he says before stepping forward while I turn to Hoseok who leans down and kisses me completely catching me off guard. He doesn’t give me time to return the kiss as he breaks it unexpectedly. Again, like before within a blink of an eye find myself in a completely different area. I’m taken aback at the room we’re standing in. I do immediately notice the orange, yellow and red lighting from the outside of the windows, but my attention goes to the rose petals on the bed, and many candles placed around the huge bedroom decorated in Hoseok’s style. I glance towards the desk on my left where I can spot two boxes of pizza, and bottles of my favourite wine.

‘’C’mon.’’ he gently urges me, tugging my bag off letting it drop to the ground. He tugs me forward by hand, to the next room, the bathroom even more grand than the room almost. There’s a giant bathtub filled up with water and bubbles, candles placed everywhere as well as music already playing softly and quietly ‘’So did I achieve your demands?’’ he asks, fingers quietly tracing over my arms up my shoulders to the front of the jacket. As he stands behind me, he starts sliding it off which I do let him with a smile on my face, my heart filling up with so much love towards him.

The jacket drops without care on the floor, yet my attention is completely on his touch, on the way his hands are both sliding over my back, over my hips going around to take both hands into my own as he presses his front flush to my back. A gentle kiss lands on the side of my neck, making me hum in content as the familiarity fully settles back into my bones, and I find myself instantly relaxing into his hold ‘’Now I know why you were so gentle with me today.’’ I point out hearing him chuckle as he lulls us side to side to the music.

‘’I’m always gentle with you.’’ Comes the reply making me snort and glance back ‘’Mostly.’’ He adds and complies with me by letting go enough so I can turn in his hold, and take his hand properly, my right one resting on his shoulder while his other goes around my waist as he easily lulls us into a slow dance.

‘’So, my time was up huh?’’ I ask his stare loving and almost entranced as his eyes are taking me in.

‘’As a human yes.’’ He replies pressing a kiss to my forehead ‘’But as my queen, it’s only the beginning my love.’’

FF8 English-French translarison, part 24: Return of the Translarison!

Holy shit, have I seriously not posted a new part since February?! Well, it’s time to get back to business. Since it’s been a while, in case you forgot, last time, the team was getting ready to face Edea for the second and last time. Let’s get to it.

We start with another example of Fujin telling us a bit more than in English as instead of just “FATIGUED!”, she says “I can’t take it any more!”.

Meanwhile, instead of “Let’s just go. ...Let’s get it over with, ya know?”, Raijin says “Come on, let’s keep going! We gotta end this!”

To this, English Fujin rplies “REQUEST” (which I’m still not sure what she means by that since she doesn’t actually request anything) while her French counterpart says “I’ve had it!”. A little dialogue follows.

English:

Raijin: ...We’re leavin’ Seifer up to you now, ya know? We don’t know what’s going on anymore, ya know? ...We just want the old Seifer back, ya know?”

Squall: (Seifer... He probably thinks he can’t go back now.) All right.

French:

Raijin: Seifer, we’ve had enough... this isn’t fun for us. We don’t know what’s going on! You weren’t like that before...

Squall: (Seifer won’t give up. No, not now...) I see...

I’ll give the English text that it’s a nice bit of characterization that Raijin is basically asking Squall to save Seifer from himself, or at least stop him from going even further down the deep end than he already has but man, do these annoying catchphrases and gimmick destroy any atmosphere for me. I really don’t understand why English-language translators are so obsessed with them (and if they were in the original Japanese, well, not everything needs to be translated directly).

Seriously, professional translators, you gotta understand that you don’t need to commit to a running gag every goddamn time to the detriment of everything else. Even if you don’t think it takes you out of the story, running gags get really old really quick.

Also, we once again get a hint that Seifer used to be better, which would have been nice to actually see in the game rather than constantly be assured that it used to be the case because again, we see more genuine chemistry between the Jin Team & Squall than between him and Seifer.

Anyway, with that rant over, let’s continue. This guy, who gives you the first key card, says mostly the same thing in both versions, but I wanted to bring it up because of an UNFORGIVABLE mistake in the French version. That’s right, despite the sentence being pluralized, they used the pronoun “Il” without an S, which is the singular form!! I really hope whomever wrote that atone by cutting off their pinky at the first knuckle.

On a more serious level, there is also an interesting little bit in the English version where he mentions that most students were kicked out, which is absent in the French version. And I mean, I guess it doesn’t need to be stated explicitly, but I think it’s nice to have it confirmed that Galbadia Garden was completely recycled into a military base, as it adds to the tragedy that the student basically lost their home IMO. Although I guess at least it means they’re not being held hostages.

And now it’s time to finally meet these hockey-playing monsters we’ve been told about so long ago. I just love that the devs actually made those, and that they decided that their reaction to a massive battles would be to take the opportunity to get involved in the fight for no real reason.

And yes, as you may have noticed the Slappers are called Jason in the French version of the game, because why not throw in a Friday the 13th reference for good measure? And if you remember (in which case, congrats on the good memory considering how long ago that was), this ties into another reference that’s been invented by the French version, where they explained that these guys psych themselves up for a match by watching horror movies such as Friday the 13th. Just amazing!

But wait! That’s not all! Because if you scan them, the French version also explicitly mentions that the Jasons are, in fact, students at Galbadia Garden. I mean, you could gather that information in the English version as well, but to have it explicitly stated here just makes it that much funnier to me. Just imagine having to take classes with these things next to you. Do they keep the masks on? What do they look under there? Please, Square-Enix, cancel the remaster and put your resources towards giving us a spin-off expanding on this lore. THIS is what the world needs!

Sadly, we must leave the Jasons, but we do get to meet Cerberus! The original dog from Hell!

Massive difference in tone between the versions when it comes to Cerberus, or Cerbères in French (the last E is silent, as is the S). In English, he’s very blunt, talking less like an immortal demonic being and more like a pro wrestling Heel, yeeling in all caps “PRETTY CONFIDENT. LET’S SEE HOW YOU DO. SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!” which by the way, really makes me wish he went “I LIKE WHAT YOU GOT” upon being defeated.

In French, he is more eloquent and collected, saying “What arrogance! Mere mortals! Show me what you’re capable of!”. And while his actual line upon defeat is “NOT BAD...MORTALS” in English, in French, he simply says “Interesting”.

One last detail about this fight I’d like to mention. After Irvine mentions he doesn’t know that Guardian Force, French Squall simply says “Let’s take it!” but I like the English version a lot more here, as Squall goes “Ahh... let’s just take it.”

Yeah, sometimes you just gotta go with the flow. And I think that says a lot as to where Squall is mentally at this point. Just done. Fuck it. I mean, he just fought a team of horror-inspired hockey monsters, there’s no point in questioning anything any more.

Much to my dismay, it’s time to meet up with Seifer again. The dialogue stays mostly consistent across both versions, with the one notable detail being that in the English version, when addressing Linoa, he says “remember a year ago we...” whereas in French, he says “and yet, a year ago...” so the English version hints at a slightly deeper, perhaps more reciprocal relationship.

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is the only acknowledgement Seifer gives of any previous relationship between the two in either version, and it’s in an optional bit of dialogue that only appears if Linoa is in the party at this point. This is why I am not buying this supposed love triangle for a second. Much like every part of the supposed rivalry between Seifer and Squall, it barely exists, what little is there is completely superficial and Seifer is blatantly outmatched right form the get go.

And look, I’m not here to tell you you’re right of wrong in your headcanons or fanfics or whatever, I really don’t care. However, it always annoys me when people go on and on about how deep and meaningful this love triangle when it’s really not. In fact, it barely is at all. So again, I’m not giving people shit if they want to make it a thing, but you gotta keep in mind that whatever story you give them is entirely your creation. Because when it comes to what’s actually shown in the game, well, it’s almost nothing, which makes me wonder why it’s even there to begin with. The extent of their story is: Linoa thought Seifer was hot, Seifer might have thought the same about her, maybe?

Anyway, second rant over, there’s a small difference in the dialogue with Irvine. In English, Seifer says “Hey, you’re a Galbadian student, get over here.” to which irvine replies “I’m happy right here, thank you.”

In french, Seifer says “Hey, the Galbadian, you’re coming back home?” and he answers with “I like my new country better” which I don’t think is actually quite what’s going on but I will admit is an interesting take on this scene.

Again, things are pretty similar in the dialogue between Squall and Seifer leading up to the battle, with Squall saying Seifer is just another monster in both versions, although Seifer’s last line before the fight is different... and very stupid either way. In English, he says “You guys are the monsters” and in French he says “I think of myself as a Boss, yeah”.

Well I’m glad both lines are equally cringeworthy, with English Seifer cribbing his from a 12 year old trying to sound deep and French Seifer just coming across like the kind of douche that The Lonely Island likes to parody. Also, I think the French version may have attempted to be cute. Get it? Because he’s a boss battle! HA HA no.

In the auditorium, we have a slight difference in Edea’s opening line. In English, she refers to Squall as “the legendary SeeD destined to face me”. In French, she calls him “the famous Seed whose coming is announced by all”. It seems a bit weird to me as I’m not getting the impression that Squall is all that famous in-universe so it would be weird that “all” would announce his arrival.

So I think the English version works a little bit better as it gives the impression she knows that due to her insight into future events. Then again, you could argue that French Ultimecia is talking about her original timeline, where perhaps Squall was leading the charge against her and he had become some kind of hero to the people of that time, and that she is trying to stop him before he can become that hero. After all, for someone like Ultimecia, it would make sense to view the various timelines as one and the same.

So we fight, I grab Alexander (known in French as Alexandre, so almost the same, but the English name will still show in my game due to my save file getting confused) and during Squall’s blackout, we get a slight difference that once again at the two translations being based off the original Japanese rather than each-other, as in English, Squall complains about his body hurting whereas in French, it’s specifically his head, so it appears we have different interpretations going on.

Similarly, after Edea asks if she was able to protect Ellone (which interestingly, shows that Edea is at least not always aware of what Ultimecia is doing), English Squall thins “I don’t understand”, showing general confusion at the situation, whereas French Squall thinks “I don’t know.” replying directly to her question about Ellone.

And that’s it for today! Next time, we’ll see how differently Squall reacts to Linoa’s situation in both versions as we finally start taking on the 3rd CD content. I hope you all enjoyed this return of the translarison, I honestly didn’t realize it had been this long. I promise I’ll try and be more regular again, even though as I’ve said before, the only schedule for this is “when I feel like it”.

Now speaking of future updates, in case you missed it, I would like to start streaming my gameplay sessions on Twitch as I take screenshots and comment on what’s happening, and hopeuflly take your questions and observations. If it”‘s something that sounds interesting to you, I would really like you to say so by commenting on this post, dropping me a line or however you see fit, and if/when it happens, you can join us at twitch.tv/ssnakeyb. Either way, likes and reblogs are always appreciated to help spread the word.

Have a nice day, everyone! I’l be seeing you next time!

[killthebxy]

i have so many mixed feelings about the season finale.

so.

many.

mixed.

feelings.

and i don’t really know where to start... so i think i’ll start at the end. and i’ll start by making a separation in my analysis.

1. if we look at s08 ep6 on its own

          i’ve been writing Jon Snow since January 24th, 2017. s07 happened during April-May 2017, if i remember well? which means, some of you who’ve been with me from the start of my blog have watched me watching s07; have watched my reactions and my opinions and my rants. ever since then, i have been very open and very vocal about how much i loathed the idea of Jon as the rightful heir to the Iron Throne, and Jon eventually sitting this throne as king --- those of you who’ve followed me for less time also likely know this very well, because gods know i never shut up about it. so, considering the finale that Jon had... someone might tell me: you must be very happy! and, well... i am very happy. i was not made to see Jon sitting the throne. i was not made to see everyone call him Agony and hail him and glorify him. i got to see him wearing his black cloak again and returned to where he belongs --- away from thrones and kings and queens, away from the ungrateful northern lords, making peace with the free folk. hell, i even got to see him hugging Ghost, imagine. who would have thought, Jon Snow loves his soulmate more than his own life. sarcasm aside... yesterday, i told a couple of you that i had two final, very little requests of ep6: i wanted to see Jon crying (because i had read the leaks, and thus i knew what to expect) and i wanted to see those beautiful curls freed from the bun. and i got this. i got to see, FINALLY, after weeks, Jon Snow and not Agony Targaryen. loyal to the end, struggling with the cruel decision he had to make, quoting master Aemon, accepting his fate, doing his duty no matter the cost --- as he once did with Ygritte. if we look at this episode only, i got everything i ever hoped for, and for this i am grateful. and yet...

2. we cannot look at s08 ep6 on its own

          and this is where it all begins and ends. because ep6 does not exist on its own. does not exist in a void. nothing of what happened came out of spontaneous generation. Dany wasn’t suddenly the mad queen. Tyrion wasn’t suddenly clever again. Grey Worm wasn’t suddenly thirsty for blood and revenge. Jon Snow wasn’t suddenly Jon Snow and not Agony Targaryen. and this is why everything in this season is irredeemable to me, no matter how much i loved Jon’s finale if we look at it objectively and pragmatically.

          do you know why i love George’s writing so much? it’s not for the prose --- very honestly, 90% of the persons i roleplay with write better than him. it’s not completely for the storyline, either, though it is amazing --- very honestly, some of the book chapters are boring and long and fillers and with descriptions and details that no one cares about. i love George’s writing, however, for his absolutely brilliant talent to manage such a vast universe. he’s got so many major characters, thrice as many minor characters, even more characters that only appear at the end of the books, listed as part of the great houses and such. the experience of reading A Song of Ice and Fire, and least for me, was that --- you get to a point you lose track of what’s going on, exactly because there is SO MUCH going on. so many characters, so many stories, so many destinies. and i remember myself often asking: how the hell will some of this make sense in the end, this is huge and so complex. and then... then you get to A Dance with Dragons... and, fuck, it does make sense. ALL of it starts tying together. all the details, all the little plot twists, all the symbolism, all the foreshadowing --- it all comes around and ties together, it all makes sense. all these many, many parts come together in a whole --- and this is why i praise George so much. this is why i admire his writing so much. because, even if i am upset with some choices, it all makes sense. it all is fluid, coherent, so pleasing to read and to follow and so goddamn captivating.

          and then you look at s07 and especially s08... and you find nothing of this. where George does kill a lot of characters, he keeps the bulk of them and considers all of them --- and D&D simply kill them all off for not having any better use for them. where George writes intricate, complex, layered characters and 99% of them are purely made of grey areas and grey morals and so very few are completely good or completely evil --- and D&D turned them completely flat, shallow, predictable, cliché, borderline boring if not downright so. where George named this the world of ice and fire and makes it so that the big, overarching theme is flawed, very different humans trying to gather together to survive the common, legendary foe --- D&D were done with the Long Night in like 40 minutes, and the only thing dark about it was the terrible lighting that makes iconing ep3 a nightmare. and i could go on, but i think i’ve made my point. D&D haven’t the 10th of George’s talent --- and, hey, i can accept this. -i- don’t have the 10th of George’s talent for sure, and very few people in this world have the 10th of George’s talent when it comes to tying together such a huge, deep, complex plot. and i can live with this. i could live with predictable, cliché writing in s07, and still be able to enjoy it at least half the time. i wasn’t happy, but i was content.

          but s08? well. s08, the way i see it, was simply two things: 1) D&D trying to be George and trying to go for plot twists and trying to make a bittersweet ending of some sort... and then 2) D&D realizing they are as far from George as the Earth is from Pluto, and going fuck it we’ll resolve everything based on shock value. and i wish i was joking or exaggerating or being sarcastic --- but they have stated this themselves and are proud of it, apparently. you only have to google it and you’ll easily find it. these two gentlemen looked at, say, Daenerys, and asked themselves: we want her to be the mad queen in the end, what can we do to lead to this outcome? and they did it. it’s as simple and as linear as this. and literally everything and everyone, logic and common sense included, gets thrown under the rubble for the sake of making this happen. and this is why i have zero respect and zero credits for them, at the end of all things, even if i did love Jon’s finale when i look at it isolated from everything else.

because.

          yes, Jon Snow, the honorable man with a good, kind, merciful heart who does whatever needs to be done for the sake of his people, no matter the toll it takes on himself. check, this is the Jon i know and love. Jon Snow, not a glorified savior who succeeds where everyone else fails, not Azor Ahai reborn, but a tool, an instrument used to bring salvation --- Lightbringer itself. check, this is the Jon i know and love. Jon Snow, who was never destined for a happy ending, carrying the guilt and suffering the consequences of his decisions. check, this is the Jon i know and love. but what happened before this? what about everything that led him to this? 

  ��       book!Jon and show!Jon were always different, this isn’t a new thing. even during seasons 1-5, where the show followed the book canon for the most part (at least in Jon’s case), they were already different. show!Jon has a lot more personal agency, in that he chooses to do a lot of the things he does --- while book!Jon tends to get sucked into the whole ordeal, and he tries to navigate it as well as he can. for an example: show!Jon offered himself to go with Qhorin Halfhand, book!Jon was chosen by Qhorin and caught by surprise and even lord commander Mormont was like ????. another example: show!Jon sends Grenn to hold the gate against Mag the Mighty and brings on himself the responsibility of commanding the Wall during the attack, book!Jon gets command imposed on him by Donal Noye and then again in the morning by master Aemon. again, i could go on and on, but i have made my point. regarding all this, while i do prefer book!Jon, i never hated show!Jon. some parts, even, like the battle at Hardhome, i honestly loved and i wish i could get that POV in the books.

          now, s06... post-revival. this is where the books-show rift happens for good, as they ran out of source material. very sincerely, i did not watch s06 as a whole --- i only watched Jon’s scenes. so if you ask me what was going on otherwise, i don’t know and i don’t really regret this choice. s06 Jon is a sort of limbo for me, because i cannot say if his portrayal was good or bad. clearly, this is when he starts making stupid decisions and being far more reckless, but... as mentioned, this is post-revival. this is a man who was stabbed in the heart by his own sworn brothers, who got wrenched back out of the grave, who immediately got told: hey you gotta keep fighting and you gotta start by going and reclaiming Winterfell and saving your little brother. given this context, can i judge him for not being himself? i can’t and i never did, which is why i accepted s06 (again, re: Jon Snow only) for what it was. and i was content with it, even if the revelation of his parentage for show!canon did not impress me.

          s07. this coincided with the birth and infancy of my blog, and honestly i was so excited to get to share this experience with everyone --- and this much was absolutely amazing. i was writing my Master’s thesis back then and i had a lot more free time, so i was able to stay up late and watch it live... and, boy, was that a ride. i had so much fun back then, and all of it thanks to my beautiful followers and friends who were there to live through this with me. but as far as the season itself went... yeah, that was the beginning of the end. because, unlike s06, Jon didn’t have excuses anymore to be stupid and reckless. and yet he still was. he still just grabbed a bunch of sturdy men and ventured into the fucking Frostfangs in the middle of winter without even bringing 1 (one) horse, just to name the most blatant of stupid examples. and the whole glorified superhero savior vibe? my good beans, i wrote a meta with 4000+ words to justify why that frozen lake scene was total bullshit and why Jon did die his second death there --- exactly out of spite for how much i hated it. how much i hated that D&D were turning the boy i love into a commercial protagonist who does the impossible and suffers no consequences and gets to have everyone else’s portrayal tossed under the wreck for the sake of glorifying him further. Rickon was already a plot device, Benjen Stark was a plot device, and i had the sinking feeling it would not stop there. s07 had bad and lazy writing, was terribly rushed and with very little character development, was pointing towards a very obvious and very cliché ending: Jon & Dany, the power couple, sitting the throne, having a baby, living happily ever after.

          and today... today i ask myself: how can you fuck up a plot so much, to the point where i wish i was made to see this cliché, predictable ending instead? i spent a year and a half whining about how much i did not want to see Jon sitting the throne... only to now look at the finale and be like --- sweet summer child, what did you know of fear. because, hey, yes, Jon was reborn from his ashes and Agony was cast aside and he got exactly the endgame i prayed for --- but at what cost? to get here, i had to see ALL the northern lords and half his family spitting on him for his decision to bend the knee. to get here, i had to see him literally say: it’s true, my name is Aegon Targayen. to get here, i had to see him avoiding Dany and not having the balls to talk to her about it until the very last moment. i had to see him plan the defenses of Winterfell like a complete stupid idiot who has no clue what he is doing. i had to see him forgetting Ghost is his soulmate. i was even deprived of the thing i love more in Kit’s acting, which is fighting on the ground --- for the sake of an epic dragon battle, yes, but that by rights he should not have survived. i was denied a one-on-one battle with the Night King, no matter who’d win and no matter who’d get to destroy the NK in the end. i got an epic moment of him roaring back at an undead dragon, yes, but what came in the next episodes got me to the point of headcanoning that he died during that moment. i had to see him not even mourn Edd’s death and going for Lyanna Mormont gods know why, who openly questioned and defied him. i had to see him being the by-the-book definition of a douchebag who sits drinking with friends and completely ignoring his girl who’d just lost one of her closest loved ones and was so clearly dissociating throughout that entire feast. i had to see him being described as so stupid that he obviously bent the knee for love and Dany was going to play him like a fiddle. i had to see him practically being made to choose between his family and the girl he loves. I HAD TO SEE HIM ABANDONING GHOST. i had to see him, again, pull away from Dany when she needed him most --- and, yes, in show!canon it is incest and all that, but you don’t have to fuck or kiss the girl you love to be there for her. i was denied, again, 1 (one) decent fighting scene on the ground because all he did at KL was to cut down a few soldiers with a few basic slashes.

          and, very frankly, what bothers and disgusts me the most out of all of this hellhole... i had to see character after character ruined, completely ruined in their essence, for the sake of stating: hey Jon Snow is a good guy! Rhaegal, who had to be butchered for the sake of triggering Dany and also because Dany and Jon and Tyrion were too stupid to remember Euron’s fleet still existed.  Missandei, who had to be butchered in chains for the sake of triggering Dany. Grey Worm, who had to be metaphorically butchered and turned into a blood-thirsty savage longing for blind revenge for the sake of Agony Targaryen, our lord and savior, being the merciful savior who claims pity for unarmed men. the women of King’s Landing, who had to be raped by northern soldiers, again for the sake of Agony being the good guy who saves one of them. and at the end of the day... Daenerys Targaryen. the little girl who wanted to go home and return to her house with a red door. who was exiled and sold and raped and harassed and humiliated and abused and betrayed and used and objectified. who made terrible choices more than once, yes and i erase none of them, but who made them with a good intention and who paid the price of said choices --- like Jon himself did, like we all, flawed human beings, do. the strong, willful, kind woman who heard Jon’s plea for help and went to save him and his men beyond the Wall and who lost one of her children for it. the queen who wanted to break the wheel and to make this world a better place. the breaker of shackles. Mhysa. she, who was never her father. reduced to this, for the sake of making Jon Snow the good honorable man who does his duty even at expense of his own interest and his own happiness.

          dear Mr. Daniel B. Weiss and dear Mr. David Benioff: do you know since when Jon Snow is a good honorable man who does his duty even at expense of his own interest and his own happiness? since always. since 283 AC. since far, far before you got your incompetent, untalented hands on him. and he never needed to be shown as one --- he was one. without the need to sacrifice 90% of the plot and the characters to make him seem so. he IS so. and this is why i’ll never forgive you, even if you did give me exactly the finale i wanted. because what you did to him, in order to bring him here? honestly, you deserve no redemption. ever. and if there is one thing that makes me extremely, utterly, earnestly happy today, it is that never again you will touch him. Jon Snow belongs to George, and he belongs to me, and he belongs to every beautiful talented roleplayer who writes him, and he belongs to every beautiful talented roleplayer who writes muses who interact with him. never to you, again. and for this i thank the old gods of the forest. today, Jon Snow is finally at rest. and, as of today, i can finally stop writing out of spite --- and return to writing because i love this boy.

Track 01: 『ばずらじ、リーダートークの回』 “VAZZRaji: Leaders’ Talk Chapter”

                                        »»————-　★　————-««

[0:00]

  MAMIYA: Alrighy, let’s get started then~

SHO: That’s right. Listeners, are you ready?

MAMIYA: VAZZROCK Radio a.k.a. VAZZRaji—

SHO: Start~!

  MAMIYA: Today’s MC is VAZZY’s leader, Mamiya Takaaki and~

SHO: ROCK DOWN’s leader, Onoda Sho will be delivering the broadcast to you~

MAMIYA: Wait, why aren’t we using the legendary tea table? I was looking forward to that, too… (1)

SHO: I’d say it’s because there’s only the two of us here.

MAMIYA: Well, it’s spacious so let’s use it even if it’s just the two of us!

SHO: Maybe this is the staff’s decision so that it won’t feel a bit too lonely in here.

MAMIYA: I see.

MAMIYA: Well, I guess it’d take some getting used to. I mean, this past year, we’ve finally managed to get closer to each of our units’ members, right?

SHO: That’s right~

SHO: Our unit feels like the household of a couple who’s been married for over 30 years~

MAMIYA: (laughs) Thirty, you say? That’s a little bit too relaxed now, isn’t it?

SHO: (chuckles) VAZZY has a lot of young members so, is it safe for me say that it would feel as if you were in the middle of raising children?

MAMIYA: Raising kids, huh~? It’s not really inaccurate so I find it kinda funny~

MAMIYA: We’re showing our different tastes as units now, aren’t we~?

SHO: Yup, we’ve gotten more work as units, too, so I’m sure that things will continue to be more interesting~

MAMIYA: Exactly! VAZZY’s really tight-knit now~ Thanks to that, we can finally have this leaders’ talk~

MAMIYA: Well, I guess even though I say that, when we get home, everyone will be waiting for us anyway.

SHO: That’s true~!

SHO: I imagined co-habiting to be somewhat similar to being in prison but, we have our own common rooms and it feels so wonderful, doesn’t it?

MAMIYA: You just said, “being in prison,” didn’t you…?! What kind of imagination do you have?!

SHO: Oh? Is that wrong~?

MAMIYA: Also, say that we’re living in a dorm. Ah, but just so there aren’t any misunderstandings— Every one of us have our own rooms and we have our own hometowns, okay? Please keep that in mind.

SHO: We’re all just in the same apartment complex~

MAMIYA: Yup, yup! The members are just living next door~

SHO: It’s really convenient when we’re borrowing soy sauce, huh~?

MAMIYA: (laughs) That’s kinda an unexpected situation for someone living in the city.

SHO: Ah! Speaking of… Ruka said the other day that he wanted to take a peek at everyone’s sleeping faces but… Do you know what he’s talking about?

MAMIYA: That guy’s saying things like that again?

MAMIYA: Ah, simply put… He’ll be sneaking into a sleeping member’s room and then film their sleeping faces with a camera.

MAMIYA: It’s kinda like a wake-up prank.

SHO: (excited) That sounds so exciting~! When should we do it~?

MAMIYA: WAIT A SEC!! You’re only saying that ‘cause you think it won’t happen to you!

SHO: To me? Hm… I don’t really remember how my mornings go so… I don’t know if I’ll even manage to make tea for him when he comes around…

MAMIYA: There we go— You low blood pressure bastard…

MAMIYA: My Ouka’s got low blood pressure so I can kinda understand but, waking him up is really troublesome, you know?

MAMIYA: What do you do when you need to be somewhere at an early time, Sho?

SHO: (excited) I have Haruto wake me up~! (sparkles)

MAMIYA: Wow… That’s a nice smile…                                                  

MAMIYA: It’s definitely hard on Haruto, right? No… I guess he’s used to it by now.

SHO: (chuckles) Are you the type who wakes up easily, Takaaki?

MAMIYA: Hm… I think I’m a light-sleeper. Though, I can fall asleep quick, too.

SHO: (chuckles) I’m now at a loss whether you’re sensitive or not~

MAMIYA: It’ll be a huge advantage when you’ve been in the industry for a long time~

SHO: Please teach me next time!

SHO: In any case, Ayumu’s going to be completely against the wake-up prank but Gaku’s going to play along~ We’ll be in your care if the opportunity does arise, okay~?

MAMIYA: You’re exactly the kind of guy who would make that happen…

MAMIYA: (sighs) I wonder how I should tell Ouka and Issa about this… Wait, maybe I shouldn’t. They’ll just get mad at me or something…

SHO: (chuckles) I’m looking forward to it~

                                        »»————-　★　————-««

  MAMIYA: Oh, that’s right! Did we mention today’s talk topic yet?

SHO: I wonder… In any case, isn’t it just about how the VAZZROCK Project has surpassed a year since our start?

MAMIYA: It’s so like you to not remember if we said the topic but then perfectly remember what it actually is.

SHO: Thank you~ Is that the correct response~?

MAMIYA: It is, it is! Well, I guess we should just continue, huh?

SHO: (chuckles) Nothing will change even if we confirm it anyway.

MAMIYA: VAZZRaji’s strong point is how everyone can just listen to it with a relaxed atmosphere.

SHO: That’s right.

SHO: Since it’s been a year, are there any things that you found to have changed since we all started co-habiting?

MAMIYA: Hm… Let me see… Ah! Vazz and Rock have gotten so much bigger since we got them~

SHO: We got new members of the family when they got here, huh~?

MAMIYA: Ever since they got here, my phone’s camera roll is now full of cats, you know~?

SHO: (chuckles) You’ve completely fallen in love with them now~

MAMIYA: I mean, it’s hard not to take a pic of them when they’re clinging to you or when they’re sleeping, right?! Doesn’t Reiji take lots of pics of the cats, too?

SHO: He doesn’t make it obvious when people are watching him but, he spoils them a lot~ He secretly bought them toys, too!

MAMIYA: Exactly! (laughs) Wait—It’d be meaningless if we just revealed that.

SHO: Didn’t you get scolded by Ouka regarding an issue with Vazz and Rock?

MAMIYA: Wha--!? How did you know that?

MAMIYA: I didn’t get scolded~ Mama just gave me a li~ttle warning, okay~?

SHO: Just to be specific, what did you do?

MAMIYA: I… gave them too many treats~! (laughs)

MAMIYA: But, you know~? Those kitties eat them up so much when I bring the treats out~

SHO: They’re so cute…!

MAMIYA: Very.

SHO: Then, it can’t be helped.

MAMIYA: Right?! Well, he explained that it’d be bad for them if the cats got too fat so, I’m holding back for now.

SHO: (smiles) How admirable~ You’ve levelled up as a pet owner, huh~?

MAMIYA: It’s more like, I was forced to level up.

SHO: You’re really raising everyone, huh~?

MAMIYA: Exactly. Hey, wait! (smiles) Has anything happened to you in the past year aside from us all living together?

SHO: Well, that’s~ It’s the same as what you’re thinking, isn’t it~?

MAMIYA: Pretty much~

MAMIYA/SHO: It’s VAZZLive, right? | It’s VAZZLive, isn’t it~?

MAMIYA: (laughs) That’s just gotta be it, right~?

SHO: It is our first live after all~

MAMIYA: That was fun, huh?

SHO: Yup! Just remembering it now still makes me excited.

MAMIYA: To be honest, I didn’t expect out first live to be that exciting.

SHO: Is that so?!

MAMIYA: I mean, we did perform songs that were just released, you know?

SHO: That’s true. Do you think preparing for all of that was difficult for everyone who attended?

MAMIYA: I think so. But still, everyone went along with us.

MAMIYA: The members all felt like one as if we’ve been together all our lives!

SHO: Once you’ve tasted it, you can never truly go back to not knowing what it feels like, huh?

MAMIYA: (laughs) Exactly!

SHO: Compared to me, you look like you’re so used to it. How did that feel for you?

MAMIYA: Hmm~ I may be used to it more compared to the other members but, that was my first event with VAZZROCK so I was secretly nervous.

MAMIYA: Well, I did get too carried away when we actually started though.

MAMIYA: What about you, Sho? You’ve performed in much larger concert halls, right?

SHO: Hm… In terms of audience count, that may be true but, the image of the penlights waving and all of that is—

(Their conversation fades out)

  SHO: (to the staff) Thank you very much for today.

MAMIYA: (to the staff) Thank you very much! Our other members will be in your care next time, too.

SHO: It might be our turn again before that, you know~?

MAMIYA: (laughs) They have to shuffle the members around!

MAMIYA: (to the staff) Then, thank you for your hard work!

SHO: (to the staff) Thank you very much.

SHO: We’ll be going ahead now.

  (Door opens and Mamiya and Sho walk out)

  MAMIYA: (stretches) Thanks for your hard work.

SHO: You, too. We managed to finish it without any incidents, huh?

MAMIYA: (laughs) Won’t it be a problem if an incident happened while the leaders were in charge?

SHO: Well, I guess so~ (smiles)

MAMIYA: Alright then… (Mamiya checks the time) 6:30, huh…

MAMIYA: This is just the perfect time, isn’t it~?

SHO: For what?

MAMIYA: Sho, do you have anything scheduled after this?

SHO: My work for today’s done after VAZZRaji.

MAMIYA: Then, should we go?

SHO: Um…??? Go where?

MAMIYA: (smirks) Of course~ To someplace nice~

My Mad Fat Diary Fanfic - The Two Months

So, I've never actually published any of my work online so it's all very new to me. I thought I'd just give a quick introduction because I'm not sure if I'm ready to post the first chapter yet. A few years ago, I was really missing MMFD and the fandom. I read some beautiful fics over the years and was involved with some roleplay writing on Tumblr (lol I know) but it got me thinking about writing some MMFD based pieces. I loved the show and Rae Earl's real diaries really stuck with me. I've always been an avid writer and finally buckled up the courage to start writing again. I hope anyone who reads this really enjoys it. Lots of love xox

Chapter 1: Passing The Time 

Archie hadn’t been feeling himself lately. He didn’t know what was wrong, not really. Everything was fine at college - he was getting straight A’s as usual; the gang was all back together and he’d finally come out to everyone. But there was something nagging at the back of his mind. It was like he still he had his little secret. It was like there was something he didn’t want everyone to find out.

Bumping into Chop was perfect. It gave him a distraction. And Chop’s solution to anyone feeling slightly down was to drink. And today, Archie didn’t care about how bad it was for you or how he was slowly running out of money. Especially after quitting his job at the leisure centre (which was mainly to do with this random stress and panic attacks Archie was experiencing).

Archie left his house at a quarter to; he fancied a walk - maybe it would help him calm down a little and collect his thoughts. He knew he couldn’t be acting like this in front of Chop. Archie loved Chop, but it wasn’t like it was with Finn. He and Finn had been friends since primary school. It was like they had a special bond, something that no one else could touch. Chop, on the other hand, crashed into their lives during secondary. He’d always been this chilled out, cool, easy-going lad who loved to party. That was what made him so great, you could just forget all of your worries and have a laugh with him. You never had to be serious. But he’d always be there for you if you did.

As Archie approached the Black Swan, he noticed some of the lads from college - not particularly friendly ones either. He noticed that after coming-out, people did act differently towards him. Some of it was actually really positive, people seemed to think he was brave and that it was cool he could be himself. It gave others another chance to take the piss. But Archie wasn’t in the mood for that right now. Once the lads standing outside the pub doors noticed him, they started to smile but Archie just pushed passed them. The first thing he saw was Chop’s brilliant, goofy smile, so he headed over.

Chop had been living the high life. Unlike the rest of the gang, he didn’t go to college meaning he could be living it up. That was only when he was off work, mind. But that didn’t seem to bother him, he was always up for a laugh and a pint. Recently they’d been so much shit and drama with everyone (which made him glad he left college at the start), that he just wanted things to go back to normal. like they were during the summer last year. When he bumped into Archie, looking pretty down in the dumps actually, he knew it was a great time to grab a beer with his mate. Chop had a lot of mates. He was what you’d call a people pleaser. Those dickhead lads from college, the ones giving Archie a hard time, well, Chop didn’t wanna muck it all up. He had a pretty good set up, but he knew what they were saying and doing was wrong. Archie was one of his best mates and he should never have let it got so far. He’d been a right tosser, to be frank. This drink would be perfect to make sure everything was alright between the two. He was sure it would be; I mean Chop doesn’t go around kissing all of his mates.

Chop walked towards the pub, taking in the sunshine. His tan was slowly coming back and he couldn’t wait for the summer. The summer with the gang was always great. Heading out to the pubs, house parties, more sexy parties - the lot! He walked through the doors, greeted the lad behind the bar with his cheeky smile and got two pints in. He found the usual spot the gang located and sat down. He kept checking his watch and straightening out his tracksuit bottoms like he was trying to impress someone. Archie may seem like a bit of a toff, but Chop didn’t get why he was acting so nervous. Chop couldn’t be more relieved when Archie walked through the door, even if he was looking rather flustered. He smiled and signalled him over, pointing out he’d got the first round it.

“‘ere he is!” Chop patted Archie on the back as his friend slipped into his seat. “I’ve missed you lad”, he pointed his finger towards Archie and smiled. He just wanted everything to be normal and the best way to do that was to put on his cheeky, chappy front. “It feels like I haven’t seen you properly, in ages! What ‘ya been up ta?” Archie chuckled at how happy Chop was. That was one of the great things about Chop; he always seems so happy and if he wasn’t, he’d find a way to make that so. Archie wouldn’t say he was a sad person, but after everything that happened, he was finding it hard to be happy all the time. Maybe he was just stressed. This was his last summer in Stamford before he left for uni. It was a scary thought. Or maybe he’d just become overwhelmed with the past few weeks and it had finally toppled him. Whatever the case, a pint with Chop would always do you good.

“Alright? Yeah, I know mate, I think everyone’s just needed a bit of space, you know.” Archie paused, mulling over what to say next. What to say without initiating a situation. “A lots happened.” He glanced down at his glass, took a quick swig of the drink and looked Chop straight in the eyes. He could see his friend looking down, at his half-empty glass, as if he wanted to say something but was too embarrassed. “But I think everything is gonna be alright now, right? Just need the gang to be back together and it’ll be cool. It’ll be great, yeah?” Archie was trying to reassure himself as much as he was Chop. Everything was gonna be alright.

“Nah, that’s fair! We all need that sometimes. ‘ya know what I need space from? Those fucking cars and the lads at the garage - right bunch of twats. I tell ya it’s doing my fucking head in right now.” Chop brushed his hand on the back of his head. Like so many young boys, he did this when he was nervous which wasn’t often. But recently, Chop was getting nervous around his mates more often than not, which scared him a little. “You lot are full of fucking drama I tell ya. But whatever. All water under the bridge, right?”

Chop noticed Archie looking at him, he knew exactly what he was thinking but didn’t want to bring everything up again. He thought everything was sweet but maybe that wasn’t the case.

“Come on Arch, what ya worrying for? I know… we need something big for all for us to do, ya know. Just us 6 mind.” He furrowed his brows, trying to think of a good idea. “I know I plead to no more sexy parties, even though I host the best ones in Lincolnshire”, he winked at his friend, trying to build a more comfortable atmosphere between them, “but, you cannot deny meh to host one last one. Just the gang, eh? ‘ows that sound bud?”

Archie raised his eyebrows at Chop’s remark about the garage. He always thought Chop loved his job. Archie could never do it, but he’d always thought each to their own. Chop always seemed happy with his lot.

“Nah, everything’s fine. Think when we don’t see everyone, it gets me worried. But yeah.” He gave his friend a reassuring smile, to signal everything was good between them. Then Chop mentioned parties. And not just a normal party but the legendary sexy parties. Archie couldn’t help but laugh at his friend. “Sexy party?” He questions him and chugged back his drink. “You know Chopper, that’s the best idea you’ve had in ages. Gotta make it a good'un though.”

“Yes, lad! That’s the spirit. This is gonna be the sexy party of all parties. The ultimate! I promise ya!” Chop couldn’t hide his excitement, he banged his fist on the table, scaring a few of the regulars. He laid back into the booth, giving his friend one of his legendary goofy smiles. He knew this was how the gang would get back on track. Yeah, everyone had their own stuff going on but that didn’t mean they couldn’t find time for each other. It didn’t mean that they couldn’t work and help each other out in their time in need. “We’ll ‘ave it at mine! It’s a bit shabby, but ya know it’ll be great! Ya know, I’m pretty good at these ideas.” He winked at Archie and finished his drink. “I’ll get another pint, but you can get the next, ‘lright?” He laughed at himself as he walked up to the bar.

“Imma hold you to that Chop!” Archie smirked at himself and watched his friend walk towards the bar. Not surprisingly, Archie’s mood had improved considerably since meeting with Chop. He knew this party wasn’t gonna solve everything, which Chop would be sad to hear, but it would be a start. And Archie was actually looking forward to it. Chop was right. This was gonna bring everyone back together. Maybe they’d all get drunk and forget their worries. Maybe they’d get really deep and actually talk about everything that had happened. Whatever the case turned out to be, Archie was gonna enjoy himself and not think too much. Something he was prone to do. He glanced up to see Chop walking towards him, with two more pints. His friend passed him and they both cheers each other. Chop seemed to be glad that Archie was in a better mood, thinking it was down to him. Which it could be said, it was.

“So, what have you got planned for this party then?”

Archie was actually showing a real interest in Chop’s plans, which excited Chop. The two boys were very different, and their friendship didn’t seem the most likely. When they all met, it was Finn who seemed like a buffer. He was almost a mix of the two. But since then, Chop and Archie had grown in themselves but also as friends.

“Now that is the question Arch! I ain’t saying I dunno the plan yet, but don’t ‘ya worry ‘cos I will! It’ll be a chance for ‘ya to finally get laid, eh?” Chop chuckled nervously, unsure whether the joke was too far. When a small smile crept from Archie’s mouth, like it couldn’t help but escape, he knew it wasn’t a touchy subject. “But, er …I wanted to ask ‘ya summat.” Chop paused, gearing up to ask Archie. He did feel like he was prying, mainly because Archie hadn’t shared a lot about his love-life since coming out, mainly because of the way Chop had reacted which he felt badly for. But they were friends and he wanted to show an interest. It was no different than talking to Finn about Rae, or vice-versa.

“Did anything ‘appen with you and Barney? ‘ya know, at the last party? Like, looking back on it now, knowing what we know, ‘ya seemed pretty ‘appy and I dunno Barney…you seemed to get on.” Chop bowed his head. He didn’t know how to come out with, not properly and he felt ashamed. Ashamed that he couldn’t just ask his best mate straight out. There was nothing wrong with asking, Archie was sure to be happy that Chop actually cared but somehow Chop just couldn’t.

Getting laid had been on Archie’s mind a lot recently. He’d done some stuff, obviously, with guys and girls, the latter being something not particularly enjoyable. But he’d never gone… the whole way. He’d wanted to, of course, he did, but given the fact he hadn’t come out that long ago, he hadn’t really had the chance to freely look for the right guy. He’d never really spoken to Chop about his love-life, only before, which was whenever Archie was gone for a few days (busy with studying or work), Chop would ask about who the girl was keeping him so busy. But that was as far as it went. But now, well Chop had every right to ask about guys, it’s just what people did. But up until recently, he could only confine in Rae, so this was all very new.

“A lot’s happened since then, Chop.” He laughed at his own comment; he couldn’t have been righter. “There’s been…other lads, ya know. But…” He thought to himself for a minute, that night after Barney kissed him during spin-the-bottle, he spent basically all night with him. They just chatted, about basically everything. Barney had hung out with the gang a little before, he was friendlier with Chop and Finn, but that night something just clicked between them and Archie couldn’t help himself get interested. Barney was funny, knew how to tell a good story and not a bad kisser. It was just nice, especially during that time as Archie was so bloody confused about everything concerning his sexuality. But nothing happened, not really. They never kissed again, just spent the night together. But it allowed him to realise that, yes, he did like guys and that was all thanks to Barney. Afterward, he never really spoke about it to anyone. He and Barney stayed friends, but nothing ever happened. Archie sometimes wondered what would have happened if it did. Barney was quite a flirtatious person, so he was hard to read, and Archie didn’t want to go exposing himself back then. But now, well he was a free agent, but that was months ago and well…

He could see Chop hanging on to his word, so he coughed and allowed Barney to escape his mind.

“Nah, ha, he’s a good laugh but nothing. Just because you finally realised Izzy was the one during the game, doesn’t mean the rest of us found the love of our life, ya know.”

As soon as Chop asked, he wished he hadn’t. Not that he didn’t want to know, but he could see Archie thinking about what had happened that night and Chop didn’t want to hash it all back up. It was Archie’s business and yeah, he was his mate, but he didn’t want to make him feel uncomfortable. Chop could tell there was something more, he didn’t think Archie was holding anything back but... he could tell Archie liked Barney and maybe...but nah.

“Right, sorry mate. I didn’t wanna pry, ya know. It’s your business. I just...wondered ‘cos... well you’re me mate and I just want ya to be ‘appy.” Chop forced a weak smile. That was true, he did want Archie to be happy, not just with his sexuality but in general. The whole reason he suggested going to the pub was because Archie was looking pretty down.

The mention of Izzy made Chop blush a little. He’d been so oblivious to her, but once he got her it was the best thing he could have done. They were good, really good now. The past few weeks had been tough, but they understood each other better now. Yeah, Izzy shouldn’t have kissed that Peter tosser. But Chop should have been a better mate to Archie. They’d both made mistakes but realised it just in time to save their relationship.

“Yeah, well I was being a fucking idiot, wasn’t I? It all worked out though, eh? For all of us.”

Archie smiled at Chop’s apparent concern. Happy. Yeah, Archie wanted to be happy; he wanted everyone to be happy, but the problem was finding how to get to that point. He knew it was possible. He hadn’t been completely unhappy, definitely not, but he wouldn’t say he was happy. Happier, yeah.

The only time Chop ever tended to blush was when he was talking about Izzy, he was so besotted it was ridiculous. Them getting back together was probably a turning point in the gang. They were always so positive and kind, when everything fell apart between them, between Finn and Rae, with Chloe going missing, it was like Archie was all alone in the world with no one to turn to. Pretty dramatic but the truth.

“Well I won’t deny that mate. Everything’s cool now though.” Archie gave his friend a smile, a proper one this time.

The two boys spent the rest of their evening reminiscing about the past year and drinking as much as they could until Archie couldn’t take anymore.
