Bruce Wayne x male!reader

Summary: This is continuation of my first teacher!(Y/N), so this is the first date and some protective Bruce. And maybe some plot? I don't know if I want to make this as a series.

This is the first part: 1

Warnings: Fluff, Bruce being soft for the reader, a car accident and somebody attempted kidnapping, protective Bruce.

Bruce was outside of (Y/N)'s apartment building. They had agreed that Bruce would pick him up at around 6pm. Was Bruce nervous? Yes. Why?

Well, this is his first real date, a genuine one. (Y/N) wasn't going on a date with him for the money or for sex, he wanted to go on a date with Bruce because he wanted to know Bruce. (Y/N) was different in the best way possible and Bruce wasn't going to mess this up. Although, his track record with his relationships isn't that good, but if the boys approve of (Y/N) and so does Alfred?

Bruce was going to give it his all for (Y/N) to date him.

He looked out the window once he saw it was 6. (Y/N) has walked out the building and Bruce's breath caught in his throat. (Y/N) looked dashing in his suit. Bruce told him that they were going to the most fanciest and the most expensive restaurant there is in Gotham. Bruce was absolutely going to spoil (Y/N).

" Hey Bruce. " (Y/N) said getting into the expensive car.

" Hey to you too. Are you ready? "

" Yes. "

Bruce nodded and started driving. The restaurant they were going to was always booked. It took you 3 months to just get a reservation, but being a Wayne always has it's perks. He got a reservation in a matter of minutes.

" You do realize you didn't need to pick such an expensive location for our first date. "

" Well (Y/N), I simply want this to be a great date. They have a great atmosphere and it's private. I don't want you to be exposed to the press. You are not used to be in the spotlight like we are. "

" I understand that. But on the next date we are going to the restaurant of my choice. "

" The next date? " Bruce said teasingly, smirking at him.

" Well, if you manage to impress me... There might be another. " (Y/N) said innocently.

Bruce smirked as he stopped the car. (Y/N) got out as well and watched in fascination. Bruce handed the keys to a valet boy and walked up to (Y/N). Bruce walked up to his date and wrapped an arm around (Y/N).

" Lets get inside. "

(Y/N) blushed and nodded. Bruce smiled to himself as they stepped into the warm restaurant. They were immediately led to their table. Once they were sat down, they got some drinks and got some menus.

" Do I want to know how you managed to get a reservation? "

" Well, when you are a Wayne, you can do everything. Within legal frame, of course. "

(Y/N) let out a small ah and opened the menu. He looked the menu over. Holy shit, the prices... For food? Despite it being fancy and what not, for food?

" Hang on, you are telling me that you invested in our library? " (Y/N) asked in disbelief.

" Yes. Damian said that it lacked so many books, so I stocked it up. "

(Y/N) mouth dropped a little. He was saying that library needed to be renovated and that they needed newer books. But did anyone listen? No.

" Wow. Thank you. You helped me with so much stuff. " (Y/N) said with a smile and took a sip of his wine.

" And Damian mentioned you too, so I had to do something. "

(Y/N) hummed and nodded.

" I have to ask, for how long were you crushing on me? "

Bruce paused and (Y/N) was scared that he crossed a line.

" For about 6 months. Ever since you started tutoring Damian. " Bruce clarified, taking (Y/N)'s hands into his. (Y/N) blushed as Bruce's calloused hands enveloped his smooth ones.

" You? " Bruce asked smiling.

" Almost the same time frame. "

" Really? "

(Y/N) nodded and blushed.

" It is getting kind of late, how about I drop you off back home? "

" Okay. " (Y/N) was about to get the bill, but Bruce was quicker.

" Nope. I am paying. I invited you here didn't I? "

(Y/N) hesitated, but gave in.

" Thanks Bruce. "

" No problem. "

They were driving back to (Y/N)'s apartment. (Y/N) was still in awe of the restaurant and Bruce. He was different then what he thought. (Y/N) was glad that he said yes to this date.

" What made you smile so much? "

" You did. "

Bruce took a deep breath.

" Oh (Y/N), you can't say that while I am driving be- "

Before Bruce could finish a sentence an another car drove onto the passengers side, on (Y/N)'s side. To (Y/N) it came out of nowhere, catching him off guard completely. Bruce was slightly dazed, but shook it off. He had a bad feeling about this. (Y/N) groaned softly, reaching up to touch his head and winced once he felt the blood.

Bruce got out of the car and saw a big black van. He now suspected a kidnapping. He cursed to himself. He needs to finish this before (Y/N) comes to his senses.

While Bruce was fighting, (Y/N) was slowly coming to his senses. But his world was rocked by the door opening and somebody dragging him out. It wasn't gentle, it was rough and his body was hurting. He was far too dazed to fight. His vision was swimming all over the place and now he was afraid. He tried to get out, but whoever was holding him was strong. So (Y/N) did the only thing he could think of.

" Bruce! " He called out to Bruce, his voice conveying the fear and panic.

Bruce whipped his head around and ran towards the bad guy. He slammed the mans body to the ground, making sure to knock him out in the process. (Y/N) called out Bruce's name once more and Bruce knelt down next to (Y/N). The other man started sobbing as he clutched onto Bruce.

" It's okay, you are safe, don't worry, I am here. " Bruce comforted him, giving him soft kisses to his head. There were some curious bystanders who already called the police and an ambulance.

He brought (Y/N) closer to him and embraced him, shielding him from the curious eyes.

" What happened father? " Damian asked after Bruce led (Y/N) to his own bedroom, gently laying him down. Doctor said that everything was okay, but that he needed to rest. (Y/N) wasn't going to disobey the doctor. He tucked (Y/N) in a gave him a gentle kiss on the forehead before saying he would come quickly. (Y/N) didn't want to be alone after this. Bruce promised him to be right back.

The boys were waiting anxiously for an explanation.

" Somebody tried to take him. " He said, the boys understanding quickly.

" Do we know why? " Jason asked.

" They probably wanted to take him because he was with me. But then again, this is Gotham so you never know. GCPD is on it, but we will look into it. "

" Good. " Damian muttered.

" We will talk more in the morning. For now, you guys can go on patrol. If there is an issue, call me. And Dick is in charge. I will also call Superman to supervise. "

The boys groaned and after Bruce's last warnings they shuffled out of the kitchen. Bruce took a water bottle and asked Alfred to get painkillers ready. Alfred met him in front of the room and handed him the pills.

" Just rest you two, everything is under control. If you need something call me. "

Bruce thanked Alfred and entered his room and closed the door. (Y/N) perked up once he heard Bruce coming in.

" I have some water for you and pain killers if necessary. Are you thirsty? Or in any pain? "

" No, I just... Don't leave me, please. "

" I won't, I just need to change into something comfortable. "

(Y/N) nodded and relaxed. Bruce changed into his pajamas quickly and laid down next to (Y/N) under the covers. Bruce now noticed that Alfred gave him Bruce's old clothes. Bruce shouldn't feel so possessive about this, especially now.

" Bruce? "

" Yes? "

" Are you used to this? "

Bruce shuffled so he could embrace (Y/N) tighter.

" Yes. When you are influential and rich like me, you get a target on your back. Unfortunately, my sons are not an exception either. I can't even count the amount of times somebody tried to kidnap them. "

(Y/N) felt even more tears coming on.

" But why me? "

" I don't know love, but I can promise you that I will find out. "

(Y/N) nodded and closed his eyes, exhaustion taking over him.

" We are going to talk more in the morning when you rest well. "

(Y/N) didn't say anything and nuzzled against Bruce's chest. Bruce prepared himself for a night full of nightmares. (Y/N) wasn't going to have sweet dreams tonight, but that was okay, because Bruce was going to protect him once more. No matter what.

" I will protect you (Y/N) no matter what. And I will find out who tried to take you from me. "

Seraph of The End and its plot

Let me clarify this: Seraph of The End is a masterpiece, a work of literary art. Despite this, it has a lot of problems with its plot.

Let me state the extremely obvious; Seraph of The End is on an acid trip at this point of the plot. There's a lot of plot twists, and definitely some plot inconsistencies. This is probably because Kagami is changing up stuff so that it matches with his ideal outcome/ending for it, of course. Not to say it's near, since it's still a total clusterfuck and a lot of things have to be clarified before the manga can progress (not to mention it is MONTHLY, so we get 12 chapters per year to work with).

I personally, don't understand how YUU is MIKAELA. This is physically impossible, because, we know that Yuu is the eyeball. Not the fucking human???? unless Yuu is being stupid again and misreading his memories. Like, Michaela named the eyeball, the first Yuu, you know... Yuu. That just doesn't make sense. The eyeball basically gave life to a bunch of humans, so it would more be Yuu's child than a vessel of Yuu. Michaela and Yuu do not appear to be similar at all. You can tell because of the way his personality starts out. A fearful child, and a generic tsundere teenager. He just grows more innocent and foolishly blinded by his affection for life as time progresses. Michaela isn't exactly innocent in the child-like sense, he's more curious. Curious as to why life is... well, life. Honestly, I just don't get it at all. I just have no other way to explain it.

And then, where would Mikaela get his personality from? We know he's a successful clone of Michaela, but we don't know much about him [MIKAELA] as a person. We know a lot about Yuu, he's the first main lead; who the story is about. However, the story is centric around Mika too. So, it's inconsistent and just all the more confusing.

Shinoa Squad, GureMahi, and KrulFeri. (Not using their names as shipping, but more of an abbrev. for their names since theyre seen together) What about them? We have no idea what's going on with them. Since, our original leads in the previous plot arc was centric around them too. Shinoa Squad has been there from the start, so what'll be made of that? Seriously, seems like Kagami just cut them out and forgot them.

The plot is literally inconsistent as shit. Everything went downhill from the conversion of Mika to cursed gear and forth. After that it just got so much more confusing than it actually should be. And yet again, the story falls victim to the plot inconsistencies! Wow. Surprising. The story still remains interesting, but it's still extremely, extremely confusing. This may also ward off newer readers, because it's just not easy to wrap your head around unless you like overanalyzing stuff.

[END. If you are a MikaYuu or YuuNoa shipper, continue reading.]

Alright, now there's two possible ship endings that I can think of right now when it comes to our main leads.

A.) MikaYuu. They've been together from the start, they are the epitome of "It was always you", sacrificed everything to be with each other, show parallels to a ship considered "semi-canon" according to the ship wiki (this being GureMahi, as it has the most material to have parallels be made to)., and of course is a fan favorite. This can work, if Kagami decides to please his readers with something that you wouldn't see in a shounen: queers. I can see the world ending again, with Mika and Yuu sitting together, smiling at the destruction. [Although, I picture Mika slightly less happy.] Yuu and Mika watch as their greed has caused all of this, but they just don't seem to care all that much. After all, they're together.

B.) YuuNoa. They're the main leads. Main female, main male. They display parallels to GureMahi as well (but I find they have less), Shinoa's canon crush on Yuuichirou (that I will write a masterpost analyzing later), it's a shounen there has to be some straights somewhere, maybe Shinoa's love will have some good outcome for her. For YuuNoa, I picture that Yuu decides to revive the world (with Mika being by his side, can't kill off the main guy completely), with Shinoa finally having the strength to profess her love. Yuuichirou being like "WOW!! You like me!? AWESOME!!!!" and boom, they hold hands or something.

I'm mentioning these potential endings because shounen has some kind of outcome for their main characters. (ex: naruto's marriage, goku and chichi, ichigo and orihime, etc.) Of course, it's up to Kagami with what he wants to do with the romantic tensions. As for my stance on ships? Whatever seems the most canon at that moment is what I will support. Of course, as long as it isn't fucking disgusting. At this moment, it looks like MikaYuu is going to be canon. This may change, but I'm all for some queers.

SO, to conclude: Owari no Seraph is kind of a clusterfuck, and that's not a good thing. If it's gonna be saved, Kagami has a lot of explaining to do. Potential endings with ships can happen, depending on what Kagami wants to do with the story.

Oops :) Gets real under the cut. It's nothing bad though! <3 turns into a gush post near the end~ It's a little long so I get it if no one reads it but I like to voice my thoughts that's all.

Top of the list he goes. He deserves to be there. Not only are his scenes at the end of IX helping me to overcome my fear of thunder and lightning. There's something else.

A few years ago I lost a certain spark. Every ounce of creativity and passion I had shattered. I was always chasing the next "big f/o" that would spark that passion again, that creativity. I never found it and I got depressed for a little bit because I thought I would never find a love as grand as I had before. So my storytelling became nonexistent, I stopped drawing, and the endless thoughts I used to have were replaced with an endless emptiness so I went quiet. I gave up trying to chase something that I thought would never happen again. I was slowly losing myself

I spent a last few years yes, self-shipping and yes don't get me wrong I love all of my f/o but there was something missing, I didn't feel the need to scream every two second about how much I love them, there was just something "off" with myself. I couldn't voice it or the anons would come with their pitchforks "You don't really love your f/o" plus it was hard to put into words. How can you love your f/o but still feel that something is missing?

cut to my sick ass lazing on the couch in the present time. I get an idea, "Hey I haven't watched the Star Wars movies in like...forever- maybe I'll re-watch them all.. then there are the newer ones I haven't seen yet." So I start watching the movies. I had a few interruptions when I was watching VII and VIII but I kept on watching. I thought Kylo Ren's lightsaber was so badass but at the time thought nothing much of Ben himself.

As the days went on I decided to rewatch VII VIII and IX because of said past interruptions be it people or my sick ass having to take meds and stuff. As I do with most things I watch the second time I really consume it. I noticed something. Something different. The very first time Kylo took his helmet off I felt it the feeling that started in my chest and radiated to my stomach.. butterflies? He spoke and there was no distortion from his mask as he wasn't wearing it and I felt my heart skip a bit. what the hell?

the more I watched the more I learned, the more I learned the more I started to fall in love. Do I condone some of the things he's done? No. Do I still love him? Absolutely. After the movies I sort of just sat there on my couch, looking at my own reflection of the tv. "wow, I like Ben huh?" I said to myself then I shrugged. "Ah, fleeting crush and maybe an f/o" Throughout the rest of the day however I couldn't stop thinking about him. Everything from his appearance to how he talked and how he carried himself.

So I decided to run with it. Would it be one of those f/o where I say I'm crushing and nothing happens? Or maybe it will be like my other recent f/o Alex? Talk about him for a little bit but then the fixation dies almost as quickly as it started?

Neither of that happened. I got flooded with endless thoughts, and ideas. Ideas for moodboards, playlists, art.

I got attached to Ben so much, it's hard to explain it but I feel connected to him in a way that I never thought was possible for me ever again. He makes me genuinely smile and I don't mean just smile with my mouth but makes me smile with my eyes. He makes me blush and laugh and feel like I'm on top of the world in such a euphoric state. I actually feel like we're together- like actually. I know it sounds insane but I have every bit of real emotion for Ben. I feel well- in love.

I said I love all my other f/o too and its true and this might sound terrible and believe me I've thought myself as a terrible person but the love I hold for Ben is higher and so much more different than the love I have for the others..

I thought he'd be like a shooting star. A moment of fun but he'd fade away just as fast as he came into my life.

I'm thankful that wasn't the case. He managed to do what I thought wasn't ever gonna happen to me again. He reignited my spark and love and appreciation. I can't say the last time I smiled this much irl and how much I've had my heartbeat fast and the tint rise to my cheeks.

I guess in short...

Ben makes me feel like I'm alive again.

<- I'm trying so hard not to cry as I talk about this but I mean it's true, I've had so much bullshit happen in my life. I've survived so many hardships and awful people. I forgot what feeling alive was, I thought my new normal was to not expect happiness because it will be met with tragedy and I'll be back at square one. Alone and fighting demons in my mind.

Ben has reignited my heart and I am forever grateful for him, I love him so much already and I hold him so incredibly dear. He makes me feel strong, and loved, and passionate- I love him with my entire soul. So deeply that the love extends past the words themselves. It's so much deeper.

If you read this far thank you <3 It means a lot to me. Thanks for listening to me coherently ramble for once.

I started reading your writings regarding on MT. And Oh my god, I’m addicted to it now, its now my daily dose.

Just the way you made MT, your writing and overall is just a huge wow. Honestly MT gives me the Spartan Kratos vibes. Especially the explaining his moves (yes I scrolled wAAYY down) This question is more on a personally, you can answer this or avoid it if you want to. Only a few. Forgive me when i bombard you.

How did he meet his wife. Was she a nurse of his, a fan who watches he previous fights, a passerby who bumped into him, a cute shop owner Mt found and kept visiting regardless, a blind date. Possibilities.

2. Was Gold aware of his dad’s old career. Did he accidentally find stuff that belonged to MT, or did MT never brought it up.

3. Can you imagine MT pulling a Spartan Rage Ape Shit like God of War just minus the healing part.

4. If ever or a thought, how would Amp MT react to seeing Redemp Squad MT. An opposite of who he is and what he looks like. You don’t have to answer this if you don’t want to. Just a thought.

Im so sorry for asking this much.

Hi Jelly, I'm glad you like the writing! I know it's been a while since I made any new additions, but I do have plans for it. Just hit a bit of a creative slump recently.

Now for the questions!

1: I was actually planning on using @nzn43 OC Lime, she was gonna be a fighter as well. They were supposed to fight and have a very even and competitive fight that would go limes way by razor-thin split decision.

MT would eventually be allowed out into the city where he crosses paths with lime once again, and it'll carry on as MT consistently crosses paths with lime.

Eventually, after MT escaped and adopted an infant gold, the commission would find him. They'd send a hit squad after him because he saw and experienced firsthand how the commission REALLY worked and they wanted to tie up loose ends.

He'd escape but only after taking a few bullets, he collapses in an alleyway with a wailing, but unharmed gold in his arms.

He wakes up in Lime's place and thats about as far as I've thought about it lol.

2: for the most part, no. MT never really saw it as super important for the relationship he has with his kid, so he never really brought it up. Pair that with the USFC's official TV channel being incredibly tentative to play re runs of MTs fights in fear of people maybe finding out something they shouldn't, MT mostly goes down as a "forgotten warrior" type of figure in the usfc despite how entertaining his fights were.

Gold DID start looking a bit into it in the months leading up to the "incident" but didn't find much given the time they had left.

3: So actually, funny story about this, when episode 30 came out, I began to redevelop MT as a personality. When I'd first started this au I think it was around the time ep 28 came out, I was sorta on the bandwagon of MT being in his early to mid 20s.

So when I began this au I gave him a starkiller/galen Marek personality.

After Episode 30 came out, I designed his personality with kratos in mind (from the new god of war games) as a stoic but dangerous warrior who will fight for the people he loves.

So for the earlier chapters, before ep 30, he's more like a young kratos. Bold, wrathful, headstrong and prone to destructive outbursts. Post ep 30 chapters are where his personality will start to shift to the newer kratos.

As for the spartan rage thing, I do have something to say about that but i think I'm gonna keep it to myself, I will say that if you like that stuff then you'll LOVE what I got in mind.

4: depends on which type of MT you ask.

Pre escape MTA would keep his head down and speak only if spoken to, cuz that's how he was taught. And plus, redemption squad MT isn't an Amp, and Rooney taught him that nonamps can get him in serious trouble if he's not wary.

Pre redemption king would hate his guts off jealousy alone

he hasn't been through half of what i have, why does he get to heal and I don't?! He thinks

Post redemption MT would look at him with that rough, hard squint he's become known for, crack knowing smile, give him a pat on the shoulder and a nod of understanding. They both made it out, the journey was long and painful but they both made it.

Also don't ever apologize for bombarding me, I absolutely LOVE answering asks like this!

Person: oh, Ghost Roaster is your favorite skylander? Why?

My brain: okay apart from character design Ghost Roaster is legitimately such a fun and intriguing character. His backstory, when you really analyze it, is pretty tragic.

Ghost Roaster (or his original name, Olaf), was literally just a regular chef seeking out ingredients and ended up falling into the valley of the undead. This forcibly transformed him into who he is now, a skeletal ghoul. This isn't explicitly stated but it can be assumed that upon his transformation he was overcome with unfamiliar urges that lead him to eat an entire ghost village. The reason I say this must be what happened is because he was never said to be a bad or evil person before he fell in, his transformation is what gave him a taste for ghosts and this sudden change in his nature caused him to lose control of himself.

Following this he was chained for eternity so that all ghosts and spirits would know to flee from the sound of his ball and chain. I MUST point out how this is portrayed in game because it only exemplifies how sad his situation is. In game, they didn't make his chain float behind him like a ghost, instead they went out of their way to animate it grinding and sparking against the ground paired with nails on a chalkboard scraping.

So he's completely changed, succumbed to unknowable urges, and got chained for eternity but ohh no we cannot let him stop suffering!! So most skylanders become skylanders for some sort of heroic deed or special ability. So why was Ghost Roaster chosen? Well his flavor text provides 2 different reasons. 1, eon took pity on him. And 2, having a ghost eater on your side would be helpful. So Ghost Roaster did not become a skylander because he was heroic or powerful, he was taken in because eon felt bad for him and found his curse to be useful. Wow!! Fucked up!

BUT HE STILL CAN'T CATCH A BREAK! Because as implied by several other flavor texts around different medias, GR's fellow skylanders still don't trust him! Especially the undead ones, for obvious reasons. So after being taken in by a group because of how pathetic he is and getting avoided out of fear he then comes to realize that when he does actually do something good no one cares! This leads to the plotline of the comic Secret Agent Secrets where he, Boomer, and Voodood join the side of Spellslamzer after getting tired of being tossed aside for newer recruits. Ghost Roaster gets the most spotlight here as he is the most serious about joining the side of evil then the others (and rightfully so tbh!!). There is literally a point where Stormblade has him stuck and he essentially dares her to kill him since he doesn't matter. Goddamn!!! And after all that once he returns to the side of good what does he get for it! Not much! It'll probably happen again!!

Ghost Roaster is just such a wonderfully tragic and fun character I can't help but love him. Even putting aside his story his design and personality are just so made for me. I love this pathetic little ghoul so much and I want him to be happy.. But also since he's my blorbo I want him to suffer more

Me: I just think he's sillay

12 days of Fluffmas!: Hot Chocolate || Mickey “Fanboy” Garcia/F!Reader

Day 7: Hot Chocolate. 

Summary: Mickey makes you a treat. 

561 words Female/AFAB reader

Warnings: None. Fluff. 

Summary: Day seven of the 12 days of Fluffmas!  Comments and reblogs fuel my writing, likes are appreciated. Thank you so much for reading, it’s appreciated and means the most.  

 **Tag list is done, please follow and turn on notifs for @wbslibrary​ **

Sundays were reserved for pajamas and being lazy. It was your favorite part of the week, curled up with Mickey on the couch, sharing a blanket and watching movies. Sometimes you’d get lost in books, only to emerge hours later to have food, or share what you’ve read. Today, you’re curled up on one end of the couch, feet propped up on the coffee table, a blanket pulled up to your chin. Mickey’s head is resting in your lap, and his thumb brushing against the back of your hand. The two of you decided on the classic children’s Christmas movies. As the credits for ‘Frosty the Snowman’ play, he sits up.

“Your turn to pick the next one.” Mickey guides your face toward his with a gentle touch of fingers under your chin. He kisses you softly, once, before getting to his feet and doing it again. “I’m going to make us some hot chocolate and get some of those cookies Bob’s girlfriend gave us.”

You scroll through the options, settling on what you know is the best version of A Christmas Carol, the Muppets version of course, when you hear the clatter of pans, and Mickey cursing softly. You get up, wandering into the kitchen to find your boyfriend standing at the stove, pouring milk and heavy cream into a pan.

“Baby we have instant.” You go the cupboard pulling out a box of powdered mix.

“That. Is not hot chocolate.” Mickey looks up from the pot, eyes narrowed playfully.

“It’s what it says on the box.” You shake it in his direction, and he shakes his head.

“No, sweetheart, I’m going to make you the good stuff. The stuff my abuelita makes.”

“Is it a family secret?”

“It is shared with those we consider precious.” Mickey plunks three large hunks of chocolate from a yellow package into the warming milk.

“Precious huh?” You wrap around him from behind, and he leans back against you with a little sigh. “I love you too.” You hide your face between his shoulder blades, and you can feel him chuckle. It was a newer development in your relationship, and it still gave you butterflies to say how much he meant to you. Mickey had said it first, but never pressured you to say it in return—rather he accepted how you showed your love rather than saying it and spent time with him.

He heats the liquid slowly, letting it thicken, stirring constantly. It smells divine. Warm, with cinnamon and just a little bit of spice. He mixes sugar in, still stirring. “Grab two mugs, please my love.”

You hand over his favorite Star Trek mug, and your own favorite mug, watching as he ladles the hot chocolate into them. You grab a container of homemade whipped cream from the fridge and pass it to him.

“Good call.” He smiles at you, adding healthy scoops on top. “Try this first.” He offers you the spoon that he was stirring the mix with, his hand under it to catch any drops of hot chocolate that might spill.

“Wow,” you breathe when you taste the drink. “Mickey, this is wonderful.” It’s sweet, thick and there’s a hint of spice that lingers on your pallet. There’s a warmth that goes beyond the temperature and when you catch Mickey’s gaze, you can feel it there too.

Girls Karaoke Night

(This time, to the scene from when the girls start to sing at karaoke, I recommend you guys to read this part while listening ''Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!'' by ABBA to get an enjoyable experience. Believe on me, you won't regret. 😄)

Our story begins some few months after Alex and Suzanne ended their relationship since they had a terrible fight. It was a weekend night, which it was supposed to be funny and exciting, since no school or job - Well, not to Suzanne. Even her being the most book worm that Cloverfield School knew, she wanted to have a funny night, at least.

Alex had caused her so many damage that inside, she was still a bit scared to be alone. Jill and Rose always told her about his reputation. How couldn't she listen her friends before?

"And I thought they were tryin' to ruin my relationship with him. Oooh Suzanne, how could you be so stupid? They were tryin' to protect you." She sighed while drinking some juice. Your frustration was very higher, and if it was enough she got his uglier mark on her face. She've wished she could take some knife and cut her skin off just to clean from all his dirtiness.

"No, no, Suzie. It was just a lot for your mind. Please, breath." She calmed to herself, walking right-to-left over and over until she needed to relax, however her relaxation were interrupted by the phone call.

"Hello?"

"Hi, dear!!" It came a familiar and excited voice. It was her older friend Jill. Suzanne sighed in relief and then, she grinned in response to the girl from other call line.

"Hi, Jill! How are things goin'?''

"Oh, doing great as you can imagine. Dear, Rose and me were planning to join a karaoke bar to get some food and have fun together. Would you like to join us?" Suzanne was thinking to give polite denials as excuse to studying or watching some TV, but after Jill told about saying that it would go just three of them - the blonde changed of idea and accepted the invitation. She was genuinely needing to relax and distress her mind that night.

Then, Jill explained that her and Rose would drive to take her from home to few minutes. Turned the calling off, Suzanne started to change her visual to her usual bell bottoms, high heels and her favorite blouse, then she've passed some simple makeup and brushed her long hair.

"Perfect!" She thought, praising about her look but then her eyes followed to the big scar, where Suzanne covered with her hand. "Neither makeup was enough to this crap. Damn you, Alex!" She bang her knuckle on table so loud that even her mother, Mrs. Jones could hear from living room.

"Honey, what's wrong there? Is everything okay?" She was watching some Game Show at TV while her younger sister was reading some magazine and listening any music.

"No, Mama. It was just some bug that appeared on my table and I've killed it." She said, screaming enough to Mrs. Jones hear. The older woman agreed and returned to watch her favorite show. Suzanne decided to make the last check to make sure that she's looking decent, at least. Then she finished to brushing her hair and sprayed some perfume around - Outside, the beep-beep could be heard throught window. Jill was pushing the horn many times, excited to take her friend. Suzanne waved back and went downstairs, saying goodbye both to her mother and sister.

"Wow, Miss Jones!! You're looking incredible!!" Said Jill in high tone, completely cheerful about the blonde girl.

"Do you think so?" Suzanne blushed shyly.

"Girl, you'll gonna kill it!" Exclaimed Rose, who was also smoking some cigarette as Jill. Suzanne laughed from her friends's praises and entered to Jill's car - the brunette girl played some random songs until they drove to "Josh Berry's Karaoke Bar", a new restaurant bar that turned popular between single and young people after the manager brought some karaoke session and gave more opportunity to newer bands as stairway to musical success.

"Here we came, girls!" Said Jill. The place were filled from dancing people and a lot of upbeat and disco music, Jill parked her automobile next from others four cars from primary colors as red, blue, light blue and yellow. The trio left the car and went in to the local. Inside, the girls sat on table and some kind waitress came to attend the trio.

"So, which would the ladies order for?" She asked while holding the notes.

"Well, we're gonna have some pepperoni with some green onions and extra Texas cheddar." Said Jill, Suzanne thought to ask for some extra onion and lettuce salad but once the party was killing that night, she decided to take an exception and agreed with her friend. Rose finished their drinks to be three Pepsi cans.

"Great! Your order will come in few minutes. Have a great night, chicks!" Said the waitress, that ripped the papper from note and left to go on kitchen.

Forty-five minutes later, the pizza and three Pepsi's finally arrived on their table. The trio enjoyed the food as they hadn't eat for like, 40 years and after to dining their pizza, Jill decided to join some karaoke with her friends. Rose declined for thinking her voice sucked to sing, so she told Suzanne to replace. Embarassed, Suzanne also declined but Jill agreed that she heard her friend singing on girl's bathroom from school and she always thought her voice was beautiful to listen.

Even towards her shyness, Suzanne agreed to take a chance, in the end, she needed to take her emotions a bit out beyond the song. The chosed song was ''Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!" by ABBA. Now there was Jill and Suzanne up from the stage, holding their mics and the audience waiting for the music. The DJ started to play the song, as Rose and the whole audience got surprised, Jill was excited but Suzanne was a bit insecure to singing - however, Jill held the blonde's hand and winked to her as a support's signal, the blonde grinned and then, they started singing. This time, Jill wanted Suzanne to get more confident about herself and gave all the focus to her friend while she would be like background vocal.

This time, if Suzanne started as shy and afraid to get mocked, it's like she forgot her fear on anywhere to focus on the music's rhythm thanks Jill's support. The girls sang and danced their own performance like it was just them and their friend Rose, Rose was so proud from the girls that she took some camera and started filming the show to save on their adventures' tapes, Oh she couldn't lose this moment.

Coincidentally, some miles from the girls' table - there was James and his football peers. James and the rest from the boys went to get some beers and have more fun, once it was weekend night. While the boys were laughing and others dancing throught the music' sound, the brunet boy recognized the singing girls on stage. and while the girls were repeating ''Gimme, gimme, gimme a man after midnight'', his eyes followed until Suzanne and focused his attention towards her. Her confidence, voice, for such a book worm, James couldn't help but getting more and more attracted about thar girl each day for day and when the song ended, a lot of applauses and whistles.

And then, they left on stage to walk back to their table. The DJ returned to play more disco and rock songs and during the way, Suzanne got her throat dried and decided to buy some water's bottle to barman. After getting the bottle, accidentely Suzanne and James bumped each other enough to make the bottle to feel down.

"Oh, pardon me, sir." She said, apologizing for the accident.

"Aww no problem, lady. Accidents always happen-'' Responded James with friendly and kind giggles. Without they noticed, both held hands to take the bottle and get up and when both recognized each other. James blushed completely reddened and highly shy about the girl while the blonde just kept quiet and staring with her eyes shining.

"Pardon me, Miss. I-I-I wasn't supposed and.... I gotta go. Good evening!" Suzanne told the boy to wait, however he walked so faster that disappeared between the crowd. She sighed in frustration, however she smiled for reminding the feel of his hand against hers.

"He was so tender and gentle. I bet he knows how to treat a girl respectfully.'' She thought, still blushing. Suzanne was determinated to meet him more times soon. However, her friends called for her and then, Suzanne returned to the girls and they enjoyed the rest of the night on that bar.

The End.

Small Hazbin redesings

Wow, wonder how long this many-parted project will go.

I need to go back to drawing again and expand my creativity a little bit, so I came up with trying to redesign hazbin cast with first one being Vaggie.

If you want to read what I wanted to do you can go under the cut.

Let’s start from idea itself - Vaggie is a moth demon, with fiery temper, good skill in weaponery and feminine presence. Her design is the best one in my opinion so I haven’t changed much. The only problem is not having enough moth features.

When it comes to moth theme I didn’t done it well - I like the idea of wing-shaped hair so I added it, making Vaggie be covered by this. The pattern on a dress and colours are heavily inspired by Grammia (tiger moth) and stocking by Rheumaptera Hastata wings pattern. I also wanted overal shapes to be puffy and flowy just like moths being fluffy winged puppies. I really like bow so I kept it, but gave more lepidoptera-like shape and pattern. What I don’t like though is flowing X-eyepatch, so I made it be covered in hair and moth-shaped.

When it comes spear I tried to keep balance between dangerous and girly with front being pointy and sharp, but end fan/feather shaped. It’s also shorter than canon weapon to make it easier to hold it near yourself and use during fight. The scar on a brow is added to show Vaggies agressive nature.

As for an outfit I was inspired by white goth aesthetic and subculture (very feminine with a spice of dark, gothic symbolism making very good mix for her as a character) as well as Salvadorian traditional dresses (they are very flowy, reminding me of moth wings). As I said before, I was aiming at puffiness so of course - big, puffy sleeves, flowy dress and comfy shape mixed with showing slim arms and legs and waist, just like moth having dumpy body and sticky limbs. The hair are wavy, because I saw that most salvadorian women have wavy or curly hair.

Last of, I would like to talk about my other inspirations which are older designs of Vaggie - it’s sad to say, but the newer the design, the less she looks like a moth (not counting the newest one). At first she had a cape, fur and nice hair making her look a bit like a moth, but than Vaggie started looking just like typical young adult with weird skin colour. The current design looks… nice (??) but the only hint telling us that she have something from a moth is her hair shape which is not much. The first one, the one with darkest skin tone and white hair and design from a pilot are my favourites so I tried to incorporate what I like the most in them into my redesign. Weird that at some point Viv kinda forgot, what she wanted Vaggie to be.

I know that mine didn’t ended looking like something I really wanted. I was thinking about giving her antennae ears or bow, but as I recall correctly, it’s male moth feature so… I also have same problem as Vivziepop - I feel like I gave too much details

Sera Myu: Musical Festival -Chronicle- Review

You know when something just hits you deep in your core and you can’t help but be a sobbing mess on the floor? Yes, that was me.

When this musical was first announced, I really had no idea what to expect. I had predicted it would be like an Ai no Sanctuary 2.0, and then they said it would be mostly Kaguya-Hime songs, that turned out to be a big ass lie. WHICH I’m grateful for. Not that I don’t love those songs, but the musical was truly something beautiful and shiny and celebrates the history of Myu in its own beautiful way! The song list is mainly NelkeMyu songs (2013-2017, NogiMyu, The Super Live) with a tiny sprinkle of Bandai thrown in for flavor (though, they are newer versions as seen in NogiMyu and The Super Live). Speaking of new arrangements, nearly every song was re-arranged! Whether it be new instruments, new lyrics, or something along those lines, all except a very few songs were re-arranged for the musical and I love the new feel to songs! And the 2 new songs (Chronicle the Story of Sailor Moon and Eternal Cycle) are SO good. Eternal Cycle in particular made me start crying with how beautiful it was. 

The cast REALLY showed off. I saw both the second-to-last and the senshuuraku performances. While the vocals are better in the earlier show, the emotions are much stronger in the final show. Riko-Moon in particular REALLY redeemed herself for me. I liked her last musical, but I REALLY loved her this time. She really put her all in this time, and I’m SO proud of her. Her vocals snatched me in the earlier showing, and her determination and power wowed me in the senshuuraku. I’m so grateful she got to play her again. ;w;

I have to address the elephant in the room. Kisara’s vocals. If you remember last year, she nearly had the best vocals out of all the inners. However, I could tell even in the first day’s livestream, she was lip-syncing. And this year, we found out why. Kisara really struggles at live singing. There were some times she sounded pretty okay (when she sings high in her head voice, she sounds really good most of the time), but her voice breaks when singing low. Which is kinda bad when you’re playing Sailor Jupiter... ^^; Some friends in the SoS Discord think she was sick. It’s a possibility. IDK how to feel Because I lowkey felt like she broke immersion a bit in some songs, but I really like her as Jupiter at the same time. I’m torn. ;-;

MVP award goes to miss Riona Tatemichi who has climbed ALL THE WAY to the TOP of my favorite Tux list. Yes, she beat out the previously untouchable Yu Shirota. She made an extremely gay man swoon. SHE DID THAT, SHE DESERVES THAT SPOT. xD

MVP AWARD ALSO GOES TO MISS CHISE NIITSU. HELLO? NEW FAVORITE CHIBI MOON. She really REALLY leveled up from her Chibi Chibi days. I actually wasn’t huge on her Chibi Chibi back in the day and vastly preferred Hinari. But she was SUCH a cute Chibiusa with a powerful, strong voice! I can’t help but love her!

I’m just generally in love with the current outers. Shinju-Uranus grew on me this musical. I think she pairs really well with Ayana and MISS AYANA?! NEW FAVE NEPTUNE AS WELL WTF AND MISS YUKA IDE? NEW FAVE SATURN. This Musical gave me a bunch of new faves. Chisato-Pluto also FINALLY got a chance to shine and QUEEN I LOVE YOU. (Still mad Nelke hasn’t given you a solo song or at least let you cover Chronos Guardian though ;O; )

If you want a story summary, check out @crazykacey​‘s! I don’t understand Japanese, so I actually used his review and context of watching to understand the musical. All I can say is fantastic BandaiMyu vibes and a very fun musical! I’m pretty tired after this Musical season. I really went in on reporting (on Twitter and Discord LMAO) and doing some things (which will be revealed in the near future) so IDK how to end this review. Long story short, the musical is really worth your time and from the very beginning, you’re probably gonna cry. It’s a great time, and I hope you all get the chance to see it! ALSO PRE-ORDER THE DVD OR BLU-RAY. Thank you. XD

Wow! The MTA bus finally got more considerate in their design placement. A woman engineer must had put in her input on this design schematics.

I still remember my second time taking the bus with Kayla with a stroller. The bus driving was nothing but a complete @$$hole and that is me being nice and putting it nicely. Cause that man must had been a single lonely person with no wife, no kids, no friends. The most inconsiderate driver I had ever witness in my life. After that experience I try not to use a stroller on the bus as much to avoid my own anger from coming out if ever have to witness that experience again.

I don't know if I ever told the story in FB or any of my blogs so here it goes... story time

I was going out with my daughter, this was when she was less than a year old and couldn't walk at that time. I don't remember where I was going, maybe 8th Avenue or somewhere. I had my daughter in her stroller and the bus that came was the newer buses that had the drop down and out ramps for the wheelchair, strollers, and shopping carts. The male driver drives up to the B9 bus stop, sees me there waiting for the bus and ask if I was coming in. He sees me waiting, as I was waiting for him to open the ramp hence I didn’t go in yet. I waited and he did not open the ramp, hence he asked if I was going in. In which time, I tell him “ yes I am taking the bus, I am waiting for you to open and drop down the ramp so I can bring my stroller and daughter in.” Meanwhile, the driver yells at me and says “the ramp is only for wheelchairs not for strollers. Please fold up your stroller and walk in.” I gave him a look and said in the nicest tone I could, even though inside I was boiling mad as hell 😾 and said, “Sir, I am a single mom, I don’t have my husband or other help with me. I have lots of things inside the bottom of my stroller (food/groceries), diaper bag and my daughter inside the stroller. There was no way I could take my daughter who couldn’t walk yet, the stroller and all those items into the bus by myself if I fold up the stroller. Does that guy have no common sense or is he just a woman hater?! Like seriously. I nicely replied, “Sir, I will fold up my stroller once I get on, please open the ramp. There is no way I can get on without the ramp.” He replied back, okay but the ramp is not for your stroller, it’s for wheelchair use only. Next time be more prepare and fold up your stroller before boarding. I relied back while holding in my anger, “Thank you.” Once on the bus, I took my daughter out of the stroller, place her in my carry-on baby carrier on me. Places all the groceries, cooked food and diaper bag on the seat next to me and folded the stroller. Meanwhile the bus I was on was not even packed. It had lots of empty space, probably about half full. The bastard! Then while almost at my stop, I put my daughter back on the stroller, placed all my groceries and food back on the bottom of the stroller and my diaper bag on my stroller. About 1 mile before my bus stop to exit, I get up with my baby stroller and proceed to go to the front of the bus. Once at my bus, again I was waiting for the driver to open the ramp so I could leave the bus. He sees me waiting, so I said “Sir, this is my stop, I am getting off here.” He replies “then get off.” I replied, “I can’t. I am waiting for you to bring down the ramp so I can stroller out.” Then he had the freakin audacity to replied “Madam, the ramp is for wheelchair use only, not for strollers.” I then replied in as nice a tone as I could and said, “I am sorry, as you can see I am a single parent and I can’t get out by myself without the ramp.” Then he let down the ramp and I got out and went home with my daughter.

That day was the first time in my life where I met such a stupid and inconsiderate man. No compassion, no common sense and full of hatred in my view for woman and kids. Probably a single man! And if he continues that bullshit will probably be single for life. As mad as I was, I was grateful that I was able to take my daughter out and do some errands and buy groceries and food.

Sometimes in life, we go through these negative experiences and it changes the way we think about people and the world in general. We learn to not be like them. We learn from their flaws to be more considerate to others in need. That’s my life lesson from that. We never know what others are going through. And the struggles of parenthood.

So when I saw this sign on the MTA B3 bus today I was more than happy and thrilled. Means they are consciously giving a spot for an “Open Stroller” as it is showing that the MTA is acknowledging the struggles of having a baby and a stroller. @MTA #MTA Thank you for the acknowledgment. I am sure many mommies and their babies are happy by this. Now please install more of these on other buses! And please educated your drivers that the ramp is for the “handicap, disable, wheelchair, strollers, wheel carts, shopping carts, elderly walkers, cane walkers, people that need a ramp assistance. Not just for people with wheelchair!

[elfyourmother]

out of the blue random ask but what pets do gisele and the elfpile have?? mounts and housecats n everything

Gisele has two cats. Lady Belle Meowington (Fat Cat) was a tiny bedraggled little stray kitten that wandered into their camp one night on the road trip, and Gisele kept her. Mimi is much newer, a Yanxian cat that she got in Radz-at-Han; Ahewann’s cat had a litter of kittens and he was trying to find homes for them all so Gisele ended up with one. Belle washes her a lot. And then there’s Nosferatu the little bat, who flew up Gisele’s sleeve after her fight with Hesperos and followed her home through time from Pandaemonium XD I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention the Great Serpent of Ronka, who similarly followed her home from the First. Belle washes him sometimes too. And Gisele makes little outfits for all of her pets btw.

Simeon is Aymeric’s cranky old white Persian kitty who doesn’t like anybody except the elfpile. But Aymeric is a crazy cat lady and feeds all of the neighborhood strays and has named all of them. There are a few he rescued and brought to the Congregation, all of whom are honorary knights with names like Ser Whiskers and such.

Stephanivien keeps an orange tabby at the manufactory named Allan (after the wrench). He was a stray that Steph kept feeding and decided to keep him as a mouser. Even though he’s Steph’s cat he’s sort of the community kitty for all the machinists there, everyone spoils him (especially Joye).

Ysayle loves all sorts of critters, and specifically keeps birds; her family trained falcons for the Ishgardian nobility (it was what Falcon’s Nest was known for, hence the name) and so she was around them from a young age. But she’s especially fond of them because they were some of her only companions when she was in the wilderness as a child (she used them to hunt). Which you would think is not terribly compatible with all the cats around but 🤷🏾‍♀️ Anyway nowadays she has a small peregrine falcon named Anaïs whom she found in Dravania with an injured wing and nursed back to health.

Estinien doesn’t have any pets of his own and helps take care of the others. He loves animals and always has; he’s as much a Disney prince in that regard as Haurche but people never suspect it. He had a sheep dog as a boy on the farm but unfortunately lost him along with everyone else.

Haurche is similar; he did have a cat as a boy growing up but the Countess got rid of him after he clawed her favorite chaise and Haurche was quietly devastated by the whole thing and was never allowed another pet after that. It’s why he got so invested in raising the chocobo, that was a practical thing he could justify as knights needed mounts. But there’s an old mouser at Camp Dragonhead that he was very fond of, a Scottish Coerthan fold named Valiant. He “retired” under Emmanellain’s command of the fortress and enjoys a comfortable life in the commander’s quarters.

As mounts go, everyone’s got chocobos

Gisele: a white one named Kael’thas, ostensibly named for a dashing Elezen prince in one of her favorite romances, but is actually a reciprocal meta gag. In my Warcraft fics, Prince Kael’thas’ white hawkstrider (the WoW knockoff of chocobos) was named Gisele, ostensibly after a beautiful Quel’dorei sorceress in one of his favorite stories as a child. White chocobos ofc being historically associated with magic in FF because they used to restore your MP in the older games. Anyway the black chocobo Haurche raised and gave her is named Chretienne.

Haurche: another black one named Vivi, and this isn’t actually an FFIX reference but rather a joke about his pony play kink because “Vivi” is Gisele’s affectionate nickname for Stephanivien.

Ysayle: yet another black one. Victoire is her name.

Aymeric: a blue one obviously. Her name is Mireille.

Stephanivien: a yellow one named Parcival. But he tends to prefer his mechanical mounts.

Estinien: a black one named Reinette, for the Saint.

In addition:

Gisele’s unicorn from the CNJ quest is named Soleil and is her mount of choice, though she also kept the White Devil from Livia (she took it to get out of Castrum Meridianum after their duel).

Steph is the sort who names all his gadgets and such so has a manacutter he named Bleu (after Aymeric 🥰) and Cid gifted him a custom SDS Fenrir motorbike for his nameday that he named Silver (after Haurche 🥰). And he absolutely anthropomorphizes them too. He takes care of Maggie for Gisele, like she’s his child even, and sometimes rides her around (she loves him nearly as much as she loves Gisele).

Estinien hangs out with various dragons.

8 Shows to know you

@j-ellyfish​ tagged me and my slow ass is finally filling this out.

1. Star Trek (Mostly TOS, but also TNG, DS9, and Voyager. Sorry, but the new stuff just doesn’t look like Star Trek to me.)

This was my first fandom I guess?? I didn’t actually interact with anyone since this is before I ventured onto the depths of the interwebs. I was 10 years old and everyone kept calling me a Vulcan because of how literal I was. I did not know what a Vulcan was but soon found out and got my grubby hands on every piece of media I could find at the local library. I probably watched every VHS and read every novel they had. Spock is still my favorite to this day. I wrote my freaking GED essay about him.

2. Redwall

I might have been even younger when I got into this than when I got into Star Trek. This is just so unknown no one knows what I’m talking about lolol. It was more the books than the show, but it has a short animated series so it still counts. I was obsessed with this. I made forts out of logs by the stream across the street from my house and swords out of wood and play-fought my brother with them.

3. Teen Titans

This was probably my segue into anime. Yes, this isn’t actually an anime, but since it incorporates anime aspects it got me used to them?? I was very into superheroes in general when I was like 12 to 15 or so, but these were my top fave. Controversial opinion: DC is better than Marvel. I made my very first OC based on Teen Titans I think she might have been partly Star Trek too lol. I also started drawing people because of this show. Before that I only drew horses and wolves.

4. InuYasha

My very first anime. It all started when I saw a manga at the library and then looked up the anime on YouTube. Ah, the memories of watching an episode in three parts and you’d never know if it would be the dub or the sub. This was the first fandom where I actually joined the interwebs and interacted with human type people. The internet in 2006 was a very different place lol. I got my first email address (which I still have lol) to join this website called Fanart Central so I could post my InuYasha fanart. I found my first online friends there too. I miss them...

5.  Pokémon

I’m not entirely sure how I managed to watch as much of this as I did, but I only gave up when I got to Alola. The original is my favorite, but I also liked some of the newer stuff too. I drew art for Pokémon too and let me tell you, it’s the most toxic hell hole of a fandom ever. I’ve never gotten flames before Pokémon, all for liking an unpopular ship lol. The internet in 2010 was the Wild West.

6. Yu-Gi-Oh!

Holy crap was I into Ygo. I still have my room covered in it lol. I still love it to bits, but I’ve calmed down a lot. I have a lot of cards too and I do know how to play, but not competitively and I don’t know anyone in person who wants to duel me :( I got into cosplay because of Ygo and made my first cosplay (Joey Wheeler) in 2013. I apparently like to suffer because Ygo cosplays are NOT easy. I made my still best friend in this fandom. Seriously, this is one of the best fandoms out there, most everyone is so nice.

7. Supernatural

(Don’t look at me, I know pfft). I can’t deny how much I like this show... it’s honestly the one I’ve rewatched the most times. I no not know why. I guess it’s just easy to binge lol. You can blame my group of gay guy friends back in 2013 for me getting into this. It’s also why I got Netflix, and tumblr. And here I still am...

8. Hetalia

Oh wow, a Hetalia blog having Hetalia on the list, weird. Got into this at the crusty old age of 28, so I don’t have the nostalgia for it like a lot of y’all. I fell hard pretty fast. I also have made way more friends than probably any other fandom I’ve been in? Probably because I stuck my head out of my shell for a bit lol.

I tag no one because I’m lazy, do it if you want and you can blame me pfft.

#Krazy Rambles #8 Shows to know you

[faux-fires]

reached level 70 in the new wow expansion!

some dragonflight thoughts:

I really, really enjoyed levelling this expansion. I hit level 70 relatively quickly almost entirely by questing; I did every side quest, detoured to look at any interesting thing I found, stopped to talk to any NPC with a speech bubble and /pet any animal the game would let me.

The quests felt really personal and really thoughtful; I could feel the love the developers have for this game in every little detail. Loved the stronger use of personal dialogue options too, reflecting our individual characters; several times i got unique dialogue options in places where it was appropriate, like a vendor asking me my feelings on shoes and my draenei being able to point at her hooves! i was really drawn into the world and enjoyed it so much.

The newer generation of developers really have an interest in diversity in a way that I genuinely never thought I’d see in this game and I loved it. There was more lgbt content in one zone than wow had in its first six expansions, lmao.

Old characters coming back! it’s really nice to see all these old familiar faces and how they’ve changes (or haven’t). pan the kind returns as a stablemaster in a little camp in the azure span and still calls me huntmaster, the shipwright from kul tiras recruitment quest line is hanging about chatting boat building with the tuskarr, the melon-chopping zandalari has moved ON from melons and will THANK YOU not to bring them up... they didn’t have to be there, they don’t give quests or serve as anything but flavour, but it really helps the world feel more alive. still love the effort on giving wrathion unique bouncy hair, lmfao, although glad to see alexstrasza’s jewellery also moving in cutscenes. also, facial expressions!

other thoughts:

- the tuskarr in the azure span - FINALLY i get to be on the giving end of a “secretly a dragon” questline...

- i really loved the centaur in the plains, their culture was explained to you naturally through the course of the questlines AND there’s an achievement to /pet all their adorable working dogs! plus the khan being Deaf and the devs taking the time to program sign language gestures in for when she communicates with her aide, and put in a whole thing about not distracting her Good Boy service dog while he’s working...

- the black dragonflight bickering, lmao. i mean, im gonna choose wrathion, bro gave me THREE legendaries (step up ur game sab), but it’s good to see wrathion finally getting challenged. even if it feels like,

wrathion: woe is me for i am the last black dragon. woe. my life is terrible and lonely and hard. ebyssian: sup, you’re impulsive sabellion: you’re annoying and impulsive wrathion: wow i wish i was the last black dragon

- the zone art teams and the music designers really knocking it out the park, huh? when merithra let me into the dream area at the end of the plains questline i said “WOW” out loud and not in an accusatory “seriously?” way

- dragon riding is amazing and I love it. It’s so much fun and SO fast. i already sort of played at that system with previous flying - i liked to dive when my winged mounts played their “glide” animation, and weave through trees - so doing it for real has been utterly amazing. i spent hours after dracthyr came out just climbing up high places and yeeting myself off them with soar; soar does not hold a CANDLE to real dragon riding.

- all in all, i absolutely love it

- but blizzard still owe me real life money for subjecting me to the cheese vendor “gorgonzormu”, the wine vendor “zinfandormu” and for the pond full of “mudfin frenzy” piranhas, except for the two extra piranhas hanging out together at the back, who were called “best frienzy”. it’s the Moist Owlette situation all over again.

Thank you for all of those music recommendations!😊 I’m going to check all of them out. You have really good taste in music. And I agree with you that it’s not old. But other people treat it like it is and use it as an excuse if you say that some of todays music isn’t good. But these people are just immature in general so I ignore them. You gave some example of newer artists who will be remembered and I agree. But I think it’s sad that there hasn’t been a R&B singer that has reallly wowed me yet

Anon, maybe you can help the other anon out because they were struggling with what good music is.

Anyway! You’re welcome! My parents made it a point for us to listen to other types of music growing up. My sister, 28, prefers to listen to George Jones. My brother, 22, prefers to listen to The Rolling Stones. Do we not listen to current music?! No! Of course we do! We just have a love an appreciation of older music.

When it comes to R&B, there hasn’t been a good TRUE R&B singer since the 2000s. You are not going to get the songs we got in the 90s with singers today.

Ask game:

Fathers and Daughters: 1, 2, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13, 15

Wow, Anon, take me to diner first! (I'm joking, thank you so much, that's such a big ask! I'll try to be concise) From these fic asks.

1: What inspired you to write the fic this way?

Not sure about what way. The style, the topic? Why Silco adopting Vi? I'll go with that. The show had just ended, and everything was pain. I wanted a better version, where Silco was a little better, and Vi wasn't so…. underdeveloped. I felt like she was the worst character, completely shafted by the narrative to be our POV into act II and III and sped run through a dubious romance. Beyond that I had very few rational thoughts. I was a brain inflamed. Star Wars? Original fiction I was supposed to do Nano about? Out the fucking window. I had to process all these feelings… I was inspired by how fucking INSANE that show made me. I never experienced a brain rewiring like I did with Arcane. I was also turbo stressed at the time, and obsessing over the fic was pure escapism.

2: What scene did you first put down?

Literally chapter 1. I don't pre write, and I don't plot. I literally sat down and wrote : "Vi doesn't really understand who pulled what sort of levers, for her to be walking free again after only two months in a Piltovan holding jail." and ran from there.

4: What’s your favorite line of dialogue?

That is impossible to answer!! 80% of the fic is dialogue! The entire story is character moving from one dialogue to another! Okay… If I have to pick, for brevity's sake I'll go for that early introduction of Syd's character :

'Stop hiring idiots and get some kids off the streets for me. At least I can train kids!! Fuck, I could train a cat to do this job, but not the fuckos in that last batch. ASK IF THEY CAN DO MULTIPLICATIONS!! I'm not running a candy shop!' is adorning the bottom of a wholesaler's receipt.

I felt very smug later on, when I was able to recall that bit when Silco introduces Syd to Vi :

'You said you'd rather train someone than inherit incompetents,' Silco protests, jabbing a finger into Syd's chest. 'As I recall, you said you could train a cat to do the job. I think Vi is probably smarter than that.'Vi snorts. 'Well, thanks.'

5: What part was hardest to write?

I have more hard chapters than I care to admit. I think the second big Silco and Vi conversation (about Vander and Silco's past) was very hard because I was using two different sets of notes. Some written about Silco's backstory, back when Talia (Sevika's sister) had a pretty different role, and I had a pretty poor grasp of Vander as a character. The other notes were written because I was struggling with the early part of the chapter. By the time I'd caught up to that scene, I was juggling all this pre-written content and I haaaate that.

Another rough one was the first Vi chapter after all those Silco PoVs. I never really managed to recover my Vi voice. I think she sounds weaker in newer chapters and gives me more grief. My betas don't see it, so it's probably in my head x'D

11: What do you like best about this fic?

The universe it created, that's home to other little fics. It's just kinder than the canon universe, but not completely different. It's a space that's fun to live in, as a writer, more than my other AUs. I also love how much fun I've been able to have with minor characters like Mek or Syd, and how it gave me such a big audience to pitch my Dark!Vander theory ( •̀ ω •́ )✧

12: What do you like least about this fic?

How hard it's gotten to write. Also, how long it is… Because see, if I lack inspiration or am stuck, I'll usually reread everything I have… I've re-read this fic to death, can't handle it anymore. Still, I love it to death—yet I'm tired of it. I kind of know where I'm going with the ending, and it's making a lot of the writing tedious, like I over-plotted. I end up extending it with surprise chapters like the last one, just to keep myself on my toes. That's how you add 12 chapters without noticing though, so I gotta be careful.

13: What music did you listen to, if any, to get in the mood for writing this story? Or if you didn’t listen to anything, what do you think readers should listen to to accompany us while reading?

I listen to a lot of weird shit. I've listened to the full Arcane OST times and times again, of course, but I also listen to a lot of "viking" music (Danheim, Heilung, Forndom, Wardruna…), all three albums of Carbon Based Lifeforms I own (Hydroponic Gardens, Interloper, Derelicts), the latest Black Keys (Delta Kream), and a ton of mixes of Vapor Wave, tribal/folk electronica, tech noir, and other techno/electronic music, jazz/bossa nova, and lofi. Here are some of the youtube mixes I listen to regularly. And yeah, also a LOT of skyrim/Jeremy Soule music lol

15: What did you learn from writing this fic?

That being a turbo panther doesn't actually get in the way of writing good character development and multi chapter emotional arcs. I kept not wanting to "rush" Vi to the point where she just accepts Silco. I knew it was an end goal, for her to love him… But I didn't have a scene in mind, and I'm glad that painstakingly writing everything blind, in a linear fashion, didn't actually get in the way of making it work! I honestly wasn't sure, this is my best and longest work to date after all!!
