I saw you mentioned you're interested in kpop, so I thought if you can write a fic w paper kissing game idols used to play like 4-5 years ago?? lol in case you don't know they're grabbing a piece of paper w their mouths and trying to pass it to one another using their mouth only... i hope i make sense :D how about writing it w your faves?

（✿ᴗ ᴗ）마지막 인사 To My First ❤︎ summary : paper kiss game! (where the paper drops) ❤︎ tags : gn reader, fluff, vdc/sdc mentions (thus book 5 spoilers) ❤︎ chatacters : vil, azul, idia, malleus ❤︎ author's note : in case you have no idea what the paper passing game is about, see this one video with seventeen! also see the end of the post for more ^^

Ah, seriously. What was the point in sitting here when the winner was already announced. You were more than enraged, blood almost boiling in your vessels at how unfair all this was. Seriously, a little childish song, even though it was cute and adorable and all that sweet fluffy rainbow-unicorned stuff — now that, that was considered as something worthy of first place? Ha!

In any case, you watched the out-of-competition part of the event going smoothly, you didn't even blink while Ace and Deuce were hissing like two cats who didn’t get their milk and were giving death stares at the jury section, as if trying to scratch them by their glares. 

It was okay. It was a literal shame, and even if you hadn’t taken part in the competition, you know just how painful it is when your best efforts aren’t paying off. And while you were lamenting over the second place, that awfully catchy song still going on repeat in your mind, you realized that members of the Light Music Club actually made their way to the stage.

“Hey guys! Before we start our performance, let us demonstrate to you a little game we’ve discovered not so long ago!”

You furrowed your brows, blurry memories suddenly popping up in your mind. You recall Cater asking what kind of games were popular in your world and now this… 

“Let us introduce to you a Paper Kiss Game~” Lilia winked, piquing the audience's interest and giving you a stare only you could understand. 

You were seated at Vil’s left and you felt how he bend down to you, leaning closer to your ear and asking whether took you a hand in the matter or not, but you just only tried to reassure him with a wry smile, realizing that now you may actual have your stage debut out of nowhere.

“Participants will be chosen randomly!~ Please log in into the VDC app and click on…”

As Kalim was explaining what to do, you already sighed, realizing your defeat. No way you are not going to take part in their antics when you were the one who told them about this game. As expected, the status in your app was saying you’re the participant. 

“Alright, our dear participants, please come to the stage~” 

You gave Cater a warning glare, but he just laughed it off. There were not so many people, and mentally you were thanking all the Great Sevens at once for standing near familiar people. It would be extremely embarrassing to pass a piece of paper to Neige… Not only embarrassing, maybe you wouldn’t restrain your anger and put his shitty piece of paper to—

Ahem.

“Okay guys, remember if you drop the paper, you should start over from the very first person in a row! Then… let’s start!”

─ ⊹ VIL SCHOENHEIT ♡₊

How smart of Cater was it to make you the person from whom the game starts. 

You had two things in your mind at the very moment: first — to damn never let the paper drop so you won’t ruin Vil’s reputation and at least a pretty decent trustworthy attitude you managed to build somehow, and the second — to do it as quickly as possible.

Vil, stunning as always, shining brighter than any sun, both your world’s and twisted wonderland’s one, was wearing his insanely high heels, so after grabbing a red piece of paper you tugged on his sleeve, making him bend over to you. You opened your mouth just enough for it to successfully grab the paper, and basically plastered it to your lips. 

Vil seemed absolutely unfazed by your not so beautiful behavior and picked up the paper from your lips in an elegant way, then passed it over to the next person, demonstrating the flawless and gorgeous demeanor he always had. You showed him thumbs up, appreciating his work. Maybe they train actors and models to do anything spectacularly well in any situation? 

Suddenly you saw Neige stuttering and stumbling, so you facepalmed at his clumsiness, eagerly grabbing the next piece of the paper from Lilia who stood beside you, seeming especially amused at your reaction.

You thought it would be okay this time too, at least you knew Vil’s gonna save you if anything, but somehow you haven’t considered he was too… swayed by something.

The way your eyes were glimmering with an unfeigned joy got him startled for a mere second. You were clearly having fun, enjoying a peaceful time after so many things happened. Those were the moments you were absolutely beautiful.

He pressed his lips to yours, thinking he caught the paper, but somehow it wasn’t so rough and scratchy as it was during his first attempt. He glared at you, noticing how your cheeks were slowly dusting with a scarlet hue, and you quickly pulled back, avoiding meeting his glance.

“Oh my!~ What a predicament~” 

You thought you heard Lilia encouraging the audience to give their best reactions, people definitely were crying and swearing at you for kissing THE Vil Schoenheit, and it seemed the others were demanding you to continue, but at the very moment it was only you and Vil enjoying your little moment.

“Potato,” you finally looked up at him. “Let’s continue.”

“A-ah, yes!”

You remember almost nothing after winning the game, if there even was a winner at all. You made your way to the backstage, trying to calm down your extremely fastly beating heart, but was startled when someone also came in.

“Potato, I thought you learned something from the lessons I gave another potatoes during our rehearsals. Don’t be embarrassed of yourself. And also…”

He leaned to you, gently caressing your cheek.

“When I suggested we continue I didn’t mean the game.”

─ ⊹ AZUL ASHENGROTTO ♡₊

That was absolutely awful. Not only you had to grab a paper from Vil, you had also pass it over to Azul. 

As for Vil, everything was quite okay. He was an actor, he played in kissing scenes before, it’s like breathing to him, this kind of entertainment was his second skin. The only problem remained was you and Azul right there.

You quickly turned to your ashen-haired friend, slightly tilting your head and apologizing beforehand. 

Little did you know that Azul was going crazy at the spot, a kaleidoscope of different emotions scrolled through him, making it almost unbearable to just stand straight. He was sure the twins were filming him, he noticed Floyd making some sort of a fancam of him (you taught the octatrio this word). 

Vil turned to you, bending over and passing you the paper successfully, so you grabbed Azul’s hand, pulling him closer. His glasses slipped off the bridge of his nose at the sudden movement. He was too preoccupied with trying to actually see how you are holding the paper with your mouth, his vision all blurry and vague, so he realized he lost his concentration. 

Was there any in the first place? He was actually swayed by your assertiveness. Being lovestruck to the point of mistaking your confusion and embarrassment for happiness, glimmering in the corners of your eyes — he was so hopeless. Hopelessly in love with you. 

So he completely forgot he had a game to complete. Well, at least to attempt winning. 

You mumbled something incoherently due to the paper you were still holding with your lips, at least for you it sounded like a perfect interpretation of his name under the conditions you were trapped in, and well, you did sound menacing for a reason. 

Azul finally came to his senses (at least he thought he did) and grabbed your hand in response, leaning closer and deciding to pull off all the luck he got. He couldn’t mistake the paper texture and your lips. Even if he couldn’t see a damn thing, he still had heightened senses. 

Well, extraordinarily heightened senses, it seemed. 

You felt how the paper slipped away, as well as Azul’s glasses falling off completely and landing on the tip of your nose with a dull thud. You muttered through his lips and pulled away quickly. This was absolutely embarrassing and you were sure Azul was going to make you pay off for causing such an unprofitable situation and—

Ah, yeah, you still had a game to restart. 

You saw Vil sighing at you two and grabbing another piece of paper from Lilia’s hands. Even though your cheeks were still hot after the accident kiss, Vil wouldn’t fancy the idea of restarting the game three times in a row, so he somehow made you catch the paper successfully and demanded to do better this time. Now you gently pulled Azul closer, tilting your head, while he made sure his glasses were on their right place, and nearly kissed him, finally passing the paper. You were even astonished at how easily Azul managed after you, not even looking at Idia who was next. 

Meanwhile Floyd somewhere in the crowd was having his fanboy moment and claiming this fancam of Azul will go viral, a total banger. 

─ ⊹ IDIA SHROUD ♡₊

THIS IS THE DISASTER. 

He freaked out instantly on the spot when he got a notification he was that lucky he got included as a participant. He wasn’t even intending on watching the show in person, he was an Ignihyde dorm leader for a good damn reason, why have 4K displays if not using them at all? 

Ortho. 

Of course it’s always his cheerful, proactive brother. Ortho said it would be nice to see his classmates’ performance, and also the whole world is simping for Neige LeBlanche, maybe he could do a collab with Gakemo someday, it was definitely worth witnessing in person!!

He didn’t care about Neige or anything at all, he just wanted to make sure everything was going okay with the techs and displays, his flesh and blood in his comfy room drown in darkness. 

And somehow here he was, standing on the stage next to the extremely popular and illegally charming Ramshackle prefect by his right and the almighty Malleus Draconia at his left. 

It was a nightmare. The worst of them, apparently, as he trembled just by standing near the Prefect. He was surrounded by the two people everyone always spoke of. He, a proud introvert, geek and a shut-in, being sandwiched between the Prefect he kinda had a crush on and Malleus Draconia he was avoiding as a plague. 

You, on the other hand, knew damn well how anxious Idia must be. Not to be greedy about winning the game quickly, but you genuinely cared for Idia, so while Vil was trying to pass the paper to Azul, you pulled up on your toes and reached for Idia’s ear. 

“Just imagine me as anything you’re comfortable with. I hope that would suffice..”

Idia wanted to ramble to you how ridiculous you were sounding, but Azul grabbed your hand, passing you the paper, so you were already preoccupied with another task. 

Okay. Really, alright, he was imagining a cork board instead of you, trying to mentally replace your lips with pins, sticking down the paper notes to the board. Huh, like hell this would work!!

You throw a thumbs-up at him before grabbing his hands and making him bend down to you. To give you the credit, you really did manage to pass the paper over to him, but just for a moment you thought you heard a crackling sound somewhere near you. 

Indeed, when Idia pulled away from you, you saw him… biting the paper through. You didn’t even know whether it was you, completely at the loss of words, or Idia, silently hissing and cursing, who actually lost, but in any case both of you heard Kalim claiming it was cheating. 

NO, PLEASE NOT AGAIN, Idia begged for someone, but here you were, passing over another piece of paper to him. His flickering hair went from a little pinkish hues to more reddish ones, getting far brighter. 

Now it was the wind that took the paper away from your lips. The third time it was you who stumbled on the previous two papers, an unexpected pile of them forming under your feet. The fourth time Idia was going to leave, his hair flaming with an amaranth red, almost spreading a fire hazard all over the place. 

The fifth time though you’ve had enough. 

“Shit, if I’m destined to kiss you right now, then so be it,” Idia watched you in pure horror, glaring at the exit of the stage and thinking when he should start running. “Idia!”

“H-huh!?” he startled, glancing at you quickly and averting his gaze almost instantly after. 

“Can I kiss you!?”

“Y-yes?? WHAT??”

Idia remembered being drugged to his dorm by Ortho and losing the game for the first time in his life. 

But hey, was it a loss though? 

─ ⊹ MALLEUS DRACONIA ♡₊

What the name of the game was again?..

Malleus just stared at you standing at his right, having that little LeBlanche boy whose team won the VDC at his left. Yes, such an unfortunate situation… Maybe Schoenheit should have let you participate. Malleus knew best how pleasant your voice sounds when you’re humming something to yourself only, while cleaning up the garden. Or how nimble and brisk you can be whenever Lilia pops up in front of you, hanging upside down, and you dodge him flawlessly. 

In any case, he was so preoccupied with the thoughts of you he actually skipped the part where he wanted to observe others in order to get the main idea of this game. 

Somehow you weren't nervous about passing the paper over to Malleus. Even if the game was ridiculous, you were enjoying the thought of having Malleus on stage. All eyes on him, and he was so gorgeous and lovely!! 

You knew it was surprising for many people to see the legendary Malleus Draconia in all his glory and magnificence. Even more surprising to see him participating in this game like an ordinary college student. 

When Malleus made his way to the stage, he thought that playing a little games accustomed to human beings would show his other, more gentle side. 

The key word, he only thought. There was no point in taking a guess how this game would end if you weren't the one standing beside him, your absolutely pristine presence calming him down and filling his heart with an indescribable heartwarming feeling. The way you flashed a reassuring smile at him before the game started made him return this smile, causing you to blush. 

And yet something pricked his chest when he saw you touching Idia, almost being really intimate (if grabbing his hands and yelling you two need to finish this quickly and stay thankful you two aren’t passing the paper over to Neige considered as intimacy?..). Were you just kissing at this point? Right in front of him, after all the obviously romantically-linked words you've said?

No, no. You wouldn’t betray his trust and he knows that truly. Then… maybe that was some kind of a strange encouragement between humans, so they feel energized enough to complete the game after? Yes, it seemed this way. He wanted Lilia to explain the rules again better, since he shamelessly skipped the first one time, being busy staring at your cheerful smile. 

Suddenly you turned to him with a paper covering your mouth and tugged on his sleeve, trying to point out that he needs to lean towards you. Why was a piece of paper covering your mouth again?.. Maybe that was some sort of a ritual, like washing hands before eating or something?.. Why would he kiss you with that when it’s so inconvenient?

He gently took off the paper with his gloved fingers, causing everyone to gasp and you to give him an uncomprehending look. Somehow Lilia wasn’t so quick to restart the game and pass the new piece of paper to Vil, who was standing as the first one in a row. 

“Tsunotarou?” You asked, tilting your head, the mention of his nickname causing him to smile at you. 

“I shall grant you with my blessing of encouragement, child of man. Please do well during the game.”

His gloved fingers gently traced to your cheeks, and you jumped at the sudden affection, but remained still, wondering what he would do next. He leaned in, pressing a rather deep kiss on your lips and pulling back after smiling through the kiss. 

“A-ahem, T-tsunotarou, you see…” you stuttered, clenching his clothes in your hands just to stay steady. “That paper… you needed to pass it over to the next student with your mouth without letting it drop.”

“Oh,” he placed a finger on his own lips, seeming rather perplexed at your words. “I assume my blessing isn’t to your liking then?”

“I absolutely loved that!!” You answered almost instantly, not caring about people's jaws dropping. “Good job, I totally feel like winning now!”

And you actually did win. The heart of your little dragon in the first place, of course.

ace attorney au- for tgcf? or au where Meng Yao shows up at Lanling not on Jin Zixuan's birthday but (somehow) in the period where JZX is off at the Wen indoctrination camp?

I love both of these :D

And funny that you mention a tgcf ace attorney au because @vicucha and I recently came up with a three tumors lawyer au (sorta) so I am obviously keeping that!

Pei Ming is a Defense Attorney. Ling Wen handles all the paperwork/investigation for the firm. Shi Wudu keeps the firm afloat because of course he does. (he hasn't been arrested for murder yet, so it's fine!)

Okay but that part aside, TGCF already kind of plays out a bit like an ace attorney game with Xie Lian solving various cases that slowly come together to create a bigger case.

Pei Ming and the Three Tumors are the rival defense attorneys in this AU because I feel like we haven't really had that yet in AA

Jun Wu is the judge naturally

Mu Qing & Feng Xin are the prosecutor and the detective. MQ is channeling his best Miles Edgeworth energy - he is excited to be able to fight against Xie Lian in court, and definitely not friends with him or anything. Feng Xin exists to make Xie Lian's investigations easier and Mu Qing's harder :)

I just finished reading Ling Wen's revised backstory last night so I have the Hua Cheng's Butterfly Dream spell on the mind as this AU's supernatural gimmick. Hua Cheng is Gege's mysterious assistant who allows him to enter the suspects/witnesses' Mental Scapes and gather various clues

SQX is going to get accused of murder at one point, and this is a trap for Shi Wudu who will never allow his sibling to go to jail (it does not actually matter to him if SQX is guilty). This results in a rivals team up/compete situation as well though because Pei Ming is also not letting his friend's sibling go to jail (plus he refuses to believe SQX is a murderer. He's met SQX), but SQX wants Xie Lian to defend them. This whole case turns into a mess because SWD *will* admit to a murder he didn't commit if it gets SQX off the hook, and will also make the investigation painful for everyone and drive friend and foe alike insane (PM isn't even competing with XL after a point. He's commiserating.) (And naturally the real murderer is He Xuan who wanted SWD to take the fall for it. He's unsuccessful but SWD's not off the hook after this trial because there's obviously a reason HX targeted him. All the crimes come out!)

Incidentally, SQX is being accused of murdering Ming Yi. Who is their best friend. Except something something identity hijinks and plastic surgery. So that's fun :)

#tgcf #ace attorney au #i think I got carried away xD #but I like AA AUs! #xie lian #shi qingxuan #hua cheng #i'm sorry ming yi you still died in this au T_T #I'll answer the other au in a separate post because this got longer than intended #another case that would happen in this au is the banyue case #though only in the sense of banyue as the suspect and pei xiu as the culprit (or at least perjuring witness/accomplice) #also xl keeps stealing all of pm's clients (except swd lol) #random tgcf thoughts

[breezy-cheezy]

Who are Rook and Trey (if you don’t mind my asking)? (Love your art btw)

*Takes a DEEP breath* How much time you got- /half joking

Aight so. Rook Hunt and Trey Clover are two characters from a phone game I've been into recently, Twisted Wonderland. Yes. The. The Disney one. Written and Drawn by Yana Toboso (the artist/writer behind Black Butler. No I'm not kidding.) HEAR ME OUT kjhsdjkgdf

It's one of those gacha/visual novel-like games that gets marketed as like a dating sim, but has some of the most. Un-romantic settings/characters I've EVER seen. As an aro/ace, I applaud this lmao. Also amazing character and story writing like what the heck.

Very....boys will be boys energy but not the mean way, more of a “y’all are so stupid and ridiculous” in a fond way??

Actual answer under read more because I'm insane:

So every character is like. They aren't the Disney characters themselves but more like BASED on them? Sometimes several. I'm making a powerpoint on this to connect all the dots, here's Trey's lmao

Heartslabyul house! Based on: Mad Hatter, 3 of Clubs, King of Hearts, etc. Generally chill. You think he's the normal one, then he turns around and gives you an hour lecture on how to brush your teeth properly. Ok mom.

He also reminds me along of Ignis from Final Fantasy 15. He's. That type. But also not?? Still instant attachment that way LOL

Thing is he's VERY devoted to his childhood friend/Dorm leader, Riddle. But he will never admit this, not even to himself. (due to Trauma and also being totally completely normal. Uh-huh.)

SO IN WE BRING....ROOK HUNT (who is already on that slide HAHA)

Different house (it's a school setting, like Hogwarts but more Themed Houses based around. Different Disney villains) and SO. How do you explain Rook. Well he's based off the Huntsman from Snow White, mainly.

Gives these vibes. Incoming. Smiley. Will give affection. Somewhat of a threat.

Theater kid set loose. French. Loves beauty in all its forms. Drama, sparkles, has SO much love (platonic, I must preface, every time I use that, I mean in an unromantic manner) to give and is VERY vocal about it. Compliments you constantly and finds uplifting things to say even when you did horribly on something. You fell on your face? He will tell you you fell with magnificence or something idk he's just LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME, he means EVERY WORD TOO-

This dude will not lie. His eyes are too good, he is too perceptive. Oh also he hunts some students for sport, there's that little detail (HE NEVER HURTS ANYONE as far as I know he just. Watches. Love this lil weirdo. Some of his lines are "let's play tag!" and I'm like oh NO LMAO) so like I laugh at him but he's also MILDLY TERRIFYING AND CAPABLE LIKE DUDE-

Anyway, TREY you meet early since he's in the first house you deal with, Heartslabyul. But my first exposure to ROOK was through Trey's Lab Card story, which is honestly a fun time on its own. They are science club buddies!!

So right off the bat you have a very :D :D vs calm =w=;;; dynamic, which I love. But then we have....Trey, who denies how much he cares for people, for Riddle. Who shows care through his actions, baking, Due to Reasons, words of affirmation might murder him on the spot. And then we have Rook, who is a font of flowery warm appreciative words who loves and loves loudly, watching this like 👀 I see you. (incoming shots of Halloween Event part 2)

The guy calls him Chevalier des Roses to his face. Constantly. Rook has little nicknames for alot of people (most dorm leaders he calls "King of Roses" (Riddle), "King of Lions" (Leona) etc.) but he calls Trey a Knight. Of Roses. He's calling Trey Riddle's Knight. And it's very cute.

(Halloween event tossed them together and it was WONDERFUL)

But yeah Trey has his own reasons for shying away from the title. He's a baker's boy, he has no sword or armor or anything, also it's embarrassing as heck-

But Rook still sees how he treats people. He calls a knight for what it is. Rook himself ADORES his dorm Leader, Vil, and sees Trey trying to hide this same devotion and just goes "you are like me!!!" Trey: oh please no I could never-

Also they're SUCH. PARENTS.

It's just. A really good dynamic I'd LOVE to see more of, y'know? An understanding, somehow being understood by someone more than you know yourself. Rook is also weird as HECK sometimes (what do you mean you can see how Leona is yawning ALL THE WAY ACCROSS THE FEILD) and Trey nearby is. His friend. He's just like "I'm so sorry he's just like this" and it's VERY funny akjshdjksdhfs he may have to hold Rook back from blowing up the labs again, dude gets carried away.

I do love this very CUTE fan art here.

Twisted Wonderland has some lovely character dynamics. Also no one is "normal", but Rook is just another level of w h a t.

It feels like alot of interactions were just "hm spin a wheel, see who we get, slap them together" and it WORKS. SOMEHOW. Platonic Rook Trey is just one I've become extremely fond of and it's a rarer one....

You probably weren't expecting that much but it was a fun thing to answer. And THANK YOU About the art!! I wish to post more!! After school ends....soon.

More theories because I am on a brainrot

I spent some time to think of theories and what everything means during the wait for part 2, and whilst it's quick, I do think I should lay down some I have right now and see if they make sense. Let's begin.

Spoilers for all of Chapter 2 but I think you all knew that the moment you saw my post's title.

I do think that if David IS telling the truth about his secret, then Hu can be the three suicides one. After all, she mentions not being useful after David's big reveal and seems to hold a significant amount of trauma due to that.

It WOULD also help show why the fuck she keeps babying Nico, seeing them as someone who needs guidance on how to survive a killing game with people like Ace in the room, not to mention, she already has a friendship with Nico, so it's a starting point.

Does that mean I like her?

Look I may have such low standards I like Veronika but Jesus Christ Hu is a fucking annoying character, just cuz she has a good reason DOESN'T mean she's likable

ANYWHO, enough Hu hate or else she will give me at least 20 Aneurisms in a matter of a millisecond, we got another killer suspicion

Do I believe it? No. Not because It's not right, but because if it IS right, my discord pfp changes and I am naturally very biased because of it.

People are saying the killer is Levi. Which... definitely has points.

Levi using the crazy sprite here makes him seem like he's fucking insane, but also... hiding something? most of the cast has something to hide, and by this point, Levi is definitely the most sus one who's hiding something

close second/third is David/Arturo but they've revealed big something already so they're not on the list

Dude was MEGA quick to hit the vote button on David, even to the point of it looking too quick. Since David is the most sus person this chapter, it's natural to think he's a suspicious person and the best person to vote, therefore get them out of the way and win the trial. The only reason this fails is because Teruko's thinking and Charles realizing the group fucked up (Just between us, that's the most BS cliffhanger I've seen. Makes sense, but damn it was fucking abrupt.)

I find it oddly out of character for Levi to instantly push Eden as the killer. David? You can make the argument he revealed a new side to him and confessed to the murder instantly, but EDEN makes less sense to me. They are shown to be friendly, as shown in the first episode of the chapter.

ANOTHER THING is that Charles brought up a point I would see the calculative Levi agreeing with; No one was going to accuse Eden of murdering, she was just suspicious as the note had her name on it.

All this makes Levi very suspicious, and that's just from the trial. There is also evidence that points back to him.

I will not cover every evidence. Not because this post is too long as is and you'll need to read it when you have the next few hours free, but because I do not remember how the evidence plays into the case and my IQ usually isn't higher than 5

Man I am such a good DRDT fan :D

ANYWHO- One I will cover is the Merry go round, or as Infinite from Sonic Forces Teruko describes it, "The spinny thing".

Now, tape being wrapped in some sort of way around the merry go round is already looking suspicious, but then you look at Arei's wrists.

There is a mark on her wrists. It also can't be rope because of the shape, rope would leave a few patches of untouched skin, whereas in this case, Arei has a complete rash around her wrist, showing that tape was definitely used to drag her. This is also why her glove was missing, most likely to keep people from either guessing it's tape compared to rope or her glove was resistant to tape. It's one of the two, I have 0 idea.

Now, the main idea is that Levi used the Merry go round to push Arei up on the swing set to make it SEEM like she hanged herself in order to stage a suicide. However not only is that not the case due to Suicides not causing a trial, but also look at the fact that we can confirm that Arei's death had nothing to do with drowning (meaning no relaxation room ravine was involved.)

Arturo confirmed her neck was broken.

At first, this seems irrelevant. After all, hanging usually ends in broken necks, right?

APPARENTLY NOT.

seems sus for someone to die from a neck snap without the use of a noose. and let's remember what Arei's talent is...

Yeah, she's pretty fit

Of course, a Bowler has uses with the arms...

OK that sounded wrong- but I can't explain it better-

ANYWAY, Given her strength, it would be natural she could overpower most of the cast, even if they tried to hurt her. Some people are also not physically fit enough to either fight back/kill Arei or even fight her, and I doubt most people would know how to snap her neck.

Levi looks like he has healed, so I don't see him looking like he CAN'T snap Arei's neck. He also could easily push the carousel as long as his arm doesn't get hit with the pain, but the dude is buff enough I think his remaining hand will be fine.

There is DEFINITELY more I can think off, but remember, I'm some British guy theorizing on how buff dude killed a character who nearly got character development, but DR;DT played it well. If I think of more shit I can make a part two to this post but until then imma go commit tax evasion and angering Karen's with my shitty opinions, have a nice life

In honor of Pride Month, I decided to shoot my shot as well so: Alice In Borderland LGBTQ+ Headcanons

| m a s t e r l i s t | m a i n . m a s t e r l i s t |

[Disclaimer: These are (mostly) only headcanons. And yes, I use the official flag colors for the colored text. tw// mention of hōmõphøbia, tränsphøbia, sûìcíde, manga spoilers, etc.]

^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^ . ^

Arisu (he/him) - Bisexual disaster. Also gender nonconforming. He likes traditionally feminine stuff. Kuina taught him how to do makeup and piss off bigots by simply being in their sight. Kinda gives off transmasculine vibes as well so... yea :D. And when dysphoria kicks in, he locks himself up in a room, usually with Usagi, with them recommending him to do activities he enjoyed in the original world, like video games and other stuff.

Karube (he/him) - I said it once. I said it twice. And I'll say it once again: Karube is one of THE bicons of A.I.B. He was even Arisu's bf, and this part from the 7♡ from the manga is pretty much some damning proof.

(A bit biphøbic/hōmõphøbic of Netflix to not include this scene imo :/ I mean, they were obviously more than friends if he wanted to live together with Arisu in Australia).

Chota (he/him) - not a part of the LGBTQ+, but 100% an ally :D

Usagi (she/they) - Pansexual demigirl. Every so often they throw hands at anyone who talks shit about them and Arisu (especially when misgendering them both). Her father was supportive of her coming out. Unfortunately, that happened about a month or two before he unålïved himself.

Chishiya (he/they) - Transmasc. Started HRT when he was 12-ish or so (before starting puberty). The Mona Lisa and that one theory about her (manga readers, iykyk) was somehow his awakening. They cut their hair at 16 and went 'Yk what? I like it.' and that's how they kept it until now. Has top surgery scars and he's proud of it. Also a biromantic ace-spec. You can already bet your ass they had a black ring on the middle finger of their right hand before but they lost it once at a game and didn't bother buying/stealing another one. That's why we don't see him wearing it.

Kuina (she/her) - Canonically, she's transfem. By headcanon, she's also pansexual. She teamed up with Chishiya because t4t supremacy. She's the one who introduced Chishiya to eyeliner and do each others' make up every so often. And as I said earlier, she also taught Arisu how to do his makeup. She gets rid of bigots as a hobby (basically, everyone in here hates bigots, hōmõphøbes, tränsphøbes, and the list goes on).

Ann (she/her) - That's a lesbian right there. She's not into men at all, and all the fandom can agree on this.

Niragi (he/him) - Most likely bisexual (who had internalized hōmõphøbia before). His bullies were hōmõphøbic as well; might be another reason they kept calling him 'twisted', 'a freak', yada yada.

Last Boss | Takatora (they/them) - Mofo's got the three A's (Aroacegender). Slashes down everyone who misgenders them on purpose with their sword. On their free time, they look at the others at The Beach, judging them and talking to cats they find roaming around the place (or even with Cabot. Thanks @aceofspadegrass for coming up with Cabot a long time ago).

Tatta (he/him + neos) - Unlabeled and lowkey transmasc. Still trying to figure himself out. Experimenting with neopronouns. Kissed xyr fair share of people.

Aguni (he/him) - GAY, GAY, HOMOSEXUAL, GAY!!! Him and Hatter were husbands. I dare you to change my mind.

Hatter | Danma (he/him) - PAN AS FUCK, BABY! Discovered that he also liked guys in high school after making out with Aguni, and later on discovered that he's actually pan. He also has a love/hate relationship with the pan jokes (he either hates them or does them himself).

Mira (she/they) - Aroace, lesbian, demigirl and batshit insane (affectionate). Need I say more? Need I say fucking more?

Kuzuryuu (he/him) - Bisexual and tired. Let's just say that a certain nudist philosopher band leader was his awakening and does he regret it? Hell no. Also tired both from the bullshit from his life from the normal world and the blatant biphobia/queerphobia he came across.

20 Questions for Fic Writers

I was tagged by @evelinessa! Thank you Eve!

1. How many works do you have on A03?

Technically 10, but 5 of them are part of the Ace Attorney Holiday Exchange and won't be on my profile for a bit over a week.

2. What's your total A03 word count?

126,004 - which is insane if taking into account that I only started posting my own work in July this year...

3. What fandoms do you write for?

Mainly Ace Attorney, but there is also one lonely Metroid translation.

4. What are your top five fics by kudos?

Beyond Duty (nsfw)

Turnabout Labyrinth

A King's Heart (nsfw)

The many lives of Larry Butz (Kill-a-character-Bingo)

Cyanid (German translation of Cyanide by @sablegear0)

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

Since I don't have all that many comments yet, I reply to them all, because they always make my day. Also I know from a readers pov, that there's nothing greater than an author replying to a comment. So I try my best.

6. What's the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

That has to be The many lives of Larry Butz. It is for the Kill-a-character-Bingo after all and is so far the only one with an unhappy ending. Even though the personification of Death makes it a bit humorous.

7. What's the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

That I cannot say yet, but if I don't forget, I'll add it in a few days once the creators for the exchange are revealed.

8. Do you get hate on fics?

Thankfully not so far.

9. Do you write smut?

Yes. Most of the time it's porn with a lot of plot. Because that's what I also prefer to read. Just a regular (good) story, where the sex is also narrated and not fading to black.

10. Do you write crossovers?

I write a lot of AUs, no downright crossovers so far. You maybe could count The many lives of Larry Butz as a crossover, since the Death there is heavily inspired by the Discworld Death, but since it is the AA universe, it's not really the same Death, even if he talks in all caps as well.

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

Not that I know of.

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

Nope, but I translated my favourite Metroid fic into German. Sadly I never finished, because I was bitten by the Ace Attorney bug and didn't have any braincells left for Metroid. But there are still quite a few chapters for part 2 sitting on my computer, so maybe, if we get a new metroid game, I'll be inspired to finish it.

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

Yes, A King's Heart is a collaboration with @voidify333.

14. What's your all-time favourite ship?

It's the wrong question really, but the ship that I'm writing most for right now is of course Narumitsu/Mistunaru.

15. What's the WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

Uh... so far I am hoping to finish all my WIPs. At least all wips that are already partly posted to AO3. There may be some sitting on my computer, that will never see the light of day though.

16. What are your writing strengths?

Hm... I'm good at every day fluff. Little everyday scenes where the characters enjoy life and each other. Funnily enough I am also good at getting my characters into awful situations, provided I know that they will resolve themselves and have a happy or at least hopeful ending after all the drama.

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

Writing a villain's pov. I tried. I gave up. I can write a villain, but only from the pov of other characters.

I also struggle with getting a coherent story together, if I don't have a good concept for the whole thing from the start.

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language for a fic?

No problem, as long as it's German. :D Thankfully that's actually helpful in Ace Attorney.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

First fandom I actually wrote something down for is probably Metroid. The first work that I told stories for is probably Sir Walter Scotts Ivanhoe, when I was a little kid. I've told stories since I learnt to talk, I only very recently started to have the confidence to write them down and share them.

20. Favourite fic you've ever written?

Since I cannot yet tell you about that one fluffy fic yet, I'll have to go with Beyond Duty.

[noeou]

can u elaborate more about what you feel of twst setting as a school?? i'd like to know why it makes u feel like that!

okay, disclaimer this is mainly my opinion cause im very picky for no good reason. this isn’t hate or anything, by the way.

one.) personalities. yes, i do blame personalities on setting, now this isn’t necessarily bout the nrc itself but the backgrounds of the characters.

the queen of hearts is not an exception to ‘we’re all mad here.’ i don’t think riddle should be as strict as he is, well actually, i think he is the right amount of strict but maybe he could be more insane?? not like a psycho, but yes psycho. i personally think that riddle would be much calmer and smiley, in a scarier way. he wouldn’t turn as red unless he’s upset, when flustered it’ll be a different kind of blushing. he probably won’t be easy to fluster, cause i don’t think he’d take compliments seriously. most he’d received were either mocking or forced, not really genuine. this has to do with my headcanon that the qoh killed her last lovers because of their ‘insincerity’ towards her, considering she’s mad i doubt she’s easy to genuinely love.

i haven’t watched the lion king, but i don’t think scar is actually asleep all the time. i know lions sleep a lot, but that’s because they already have everything. the ladies that bring food, shelter so forth. you could say leona has the same thing, but he doesn’t have the people’s respect. his brother has everything, if he’s like scar that should be something he wants. he wouldn’t sleep all the time, but plotting on how to get the one thing he doesn’t have.

hades sure as hell wasn’t shy in the slightest. he picked up persephone at a party and brought her home and kept her?? i’m not saying idia has to be a carbon copy, but i think (as heir to styx) he can survive without his little brother at his beck and call. if you want to look at the disney ver. HADES TOOK A GIRLS SOUL AND HAD HER SEDUCE A GOD SO HE COULD TAKE OVER THE HEAVENS!! bffr, idia aint shit.

i can go on in another post, these are three dorm leaders and things that stood out the most to me.

two.) it’s hard to see the characters that aren’t in the same dorm interact with each other. i know it happens in game but i just can’t picture anything other than it.

in the nrc, it feels as though everyone is competing with everyone. this probably is true to an extent actually, but in my mind it messes with the flow of dialogue. no one agrees with people out of their dorm (except maybe 1st years) and there is just constant bickering.

when writing im often forced to consider dynamics like this, which is near impossible if no one gets along! no new faces can show up, no new dynamics can be made... maybe im just being overdramatic.

three.) there's nothing to know about other character's backstories.

I LITERALLY COULD CARE LESS ABOUT LEONA RN TELL ME ABT RUGGIE!! each chapter, the dorm leader is the villain (jamil exception) so we only get to know about them. hate to say this, but that's boring asl.

we never get to a deep dive in ace or deuce or characters like that unless it's an event or something. new people won't be ble to learn their lore in the actual story (where it should be or at least in their cards, cause i can understand the story is already v long)

i hate having to look at the wiki for sprinkles of info about characters we talk to once or twice but do nothing for the plot (ehem, jack, you forgot him too huh.)

i could probably go on, but this already took way too long... sorry nonnie for making you wait months D:

Ask game: 16, 23, 32!

I took forever to answer this rip me :`) I think this is the ask you were talking about but lemme know if it's not! Tumblr is terrible about letting me search for things with my own tags T.T https://www.tumblr.com/thebeingofeverything/730666784564363264?source=share

16. can you drive?

Yeah, tho I really didn't get experienced with it until after college when I moved to the city and had to learn to drive in insane city traffic lol

23. how do you feel about chilly weather?

D E T E S T it oh my god. The second it drops below 80F I'm already going into hibernation mode. I was made for sitting in the sun on a heat rock in the desert somewhere. I'm perfectly content in 100+ degrees full sun all day lmao Tho the cold can be ok as long as it's sunny out, the sun is the key factor in this.

32. do you have a favorite towel?

I do not. Tho one of these days imma buy a nice set and maybe that'll become my favorite XD

Thanks for the ask @ace-aro-otaku :D

#tboes asks #ask response

[missingmywing]

Okay: here's a few! Emet, ANY of the Foretellers, and Sephiroth.

Okay, take my essays on each of them XD

Emet, Foretellers, Sephiroth

First impression

Emet: Well I was a bit biased from the beginning because I had a pair of certain someones talking him up and blowing him air kisses, but even without that I adored him instantly. He’s was and is my favorite type of character - insanely complex and hiding it behind snarky over dramatic dramatic bastard. His entire scene with Varis was just me cackling gleefully because “holy shit he’s so fun”. Very Ardyn vibes, but with a much better written ending.

Aced: Okay you said any so you get all the Foretellers. My initial impression of Aced? “Oh he’s an ass, I hate him. Talk about an inflated ego and bad attitude.” KHX/UX did not give him any brownie points. Aaaand then Back Cover came out. But he had a very bad first impression and was the character I definitely considered to be the main antagonist of KHX/Chi.

Gula: I loved him. I didn’t trust him, but I loved him. Snarky sneaky catboi my beloved. He was doing his best, but I could already see that he was too smart for his own good and that it would get him in trouble (and I was right). But the sneaky ones running rings around everyone else to pull their strings are my favorite characters, so Gula had my heart almost immediately.

Invi: “Oh she seems cool, reminds me of Aqua.” And… that’s about it. She’s a lot like Aqua, and X/UX/BC did not change that impression in the least.

Ira: “Oh I’m going to like him, I mean he’s automatically my chosen Foreteller bc of the unicorn that matches Etheria’s lore too well, and he’s the type of stoic serious character I tend to like.” X/UX/BC didn’t really add much to that. There was a little, but not a ton.

Ava: “She’s adorable, and seems sweet. I wonder if she’s going to die or turn evil later.” My opinion didn’t really change much until UX started dropping its bombs, and then I got increasingly concerned about what exactly had happened to her - especially the KH3 epilogue.

Sephiroth: Okay so the thing is. My first FFVII experience was Crisis Core, bc I found it through Kingdom Hearts (technically my first impression was in KH2 but that was just WHY DID THEY PUT AN IMPOSSIBLE BOSS IN THIS GAME D: so it doesn’t count.) So my first impression of Sephiroth was “oh this is so unfair, he’s being so screwed over. I love him, he’s doing his best to help his friends despite being stuck in an impossible situation.” So he was a really tragic character right off the bat for me, since I didn’t have the impression of him starting out as an enemy in the OG game.

Impression now

Emet: He has remained one of my favorite characters and I still adore him, but I can really appreciate his depth now. Elpis gave me a lot of feelings because we got to see him before he had to endure the tragedy of technically being the only ancient to truly survive the Final Days/Sundering untouched - Lahabrea was half of himself even before that point, and Elidibus was… more of a primal than a person by that point, from what I can tell. So Emet-Selch was the sole remaining whole Ancient for twelve millenia, on top of having to deal with the world being reset back to the pre-stone age era. He’s tragic, and one of the most relatable and emotional characters in the whole game despite his attempts at convincing everyone that he has a solid arm’s length of distance between himself and the world at large. He absolutely does not, he’s just a tsundere. I can understand why did what he did - from the beginning to the end, I definitely understand his perspective

Aced: He’s probably my favorite now, thanks to Back Cover and the character analyses I’ve done on him. Because oh. look. he’s just scared and desperate and doing his best to save the world, despite everyone else making fun of him or accusing him of things. (The fact that he’s clearly spent his life as the too-serious one of the group who doesn’t quite get the jokes the others are making about him and just getting upset only to get made fun of more or told to chill out in a relatable way definitely has nothing to do with that. Definitely not.) His relationship with my main Keykid is honestly fascinating to me, because they kind of hate each other and it’s on sight, but that’s because they consider each other a threat to the world/her health, and they highly respect each other’s perspectives/intentions. They just don’t trust each other and would sooner stab each other than compromise to work together at the time of the Keyblade War.

Gula: Look he did his best and I will stand by that. He was a an idiot who got himself in over his head by his own designs, but he’s self aware enough to know and acknowledge that in canon to our Keykid, and he feels incredibly guilty about it. I’m excited to see where they’re going with him in future games and how he’ll grow, as well as what’s going to happen with Ava because he’s clearly worried about her.

Invi: My initial impression of "she's basically Aqua" has not changed, except Aqua has had character growth and Invi is still… “I believe in MoM, and believe he has the best of intentions and will do all I can to uphold his teachings.” Maybe (hopefully!) that’ll change in KH4 and beyond, but as of the end of X/UX my impression of her hasn’t changed.

Ira: I - Look. He’s still my chosen Foreteller, I’ve never switched from Unicornis, and Etheria still respects him, but. He’s… honestly kind of boring? His “rivalry” with Aced is the most characterization he gets, and while he does save our ass and acknowledges us, he’s more distant than anyone but Invi. I’m hoping we get more characterization for him because right now my impression is “*Shrug.* He’s there. I respect his attempts but they failed and he didn’t make me sympathize with him.”

Ava: I. I have so many questions. I’m so torn. I like her a lot, she’s sweet, but man oh man I don’t trust anything about her situation. While I don’t think she’s turned evil, I do think she’s become extremely complicated and whatever is going on with her is going to be a twist of some sort. My current theory is that she’s somehow tied to Namine. Not sure how, but questions and convenient hints are beginning to line up between them somehow.

Sephiroth: His dedication to chasing Cloud across the whole universe and every single game he’s in and now TIME TRAVEL LIKE THE MANY FICS I’VE READ is hilarious and that’s always going to be his defining feature to me now. I still find him incredibly tragic because his insanity was cultivated and purposeful by Hojo and Jenova, so if the situation in Nibelheim - and Genesis’ own insanity making him be an ass - hadn’t happened as it had, things wouldn’t have snowballed as they did. The whole thing could have been avoided if he’d had proper support and a bit of interference from someone who wasn’t as cut out of the loop as Zack.

Favorite moment

Emet: “Do no squander it, the legacy I leave you.” Honestly all of Elpis was gold and one joy after the next, but that line is what really really stuck with me. His little monologue at the end of Ultima Thule also got to me, the list of places left to visit and then his final “I certainly did.” was just- *chef’s kiss* I also loved him throughout SHB, all his sarcastic drama was amazing and I loved it all. Amaurot tore me apart as was intended. Every time this man smiles That Smile at us I die of pain and joy.

Aced: His moment of vulnerability with Ira in Back Cover was wonderful, and was the moment that made him click for me. His tired resignation, from his posture to his words were “I did my best. I did all I could, and everything I did was to protect the world and stop this war. If I failed then I will accept my end.” AND IF THAT’S NOT A CHARACTER TYPE THAT INSTANTLY WINS MY HEART. One scene made me go from disliking him to taking him on as one of my favorites.

Gula: His scene with the Master, probably, because it - more than anything else - was what set the tone for both Back Cover and the entirety of KHUX. THAT was the moment when it clicked exactly what kind of story this was, and exactly what kind of long game MoM was playing. The complete breakdown of Gula’s role combined with MoM’s sudden personality switch was top tier, and made all of Gula’s actions make complete sense - tragic and stupidly reckless though they were.

Invi: Hmm probably that fight with Aced? She had some good moments there, and they were the most definitive of her character across the whole series so far. Although her scene in the Keyblade War to the Player was pretty good too.

Ira: His scene with Aced in Back Cover was great - his response of “No I’m not going to kill you, we need everyone we can and I still trust you and believe that you were trying to help.” was FANTASTIC and exactly what I love in a character, and validated me for choosing him as my leader. He may be among the least interesting/utilized, but he has his moments.

Ava: Hmmm it’s hard to pick one, but probably either the scene where she gave Brain the book and keyblade or the fountain scene where she was talking to Ephemera. I enjoyed the complexity of the first, and the genuine warmth and sweetness of the second.

Sephiroth: He’s so tragic. Nibelheim could have been avoided so easily if he’d just BEEN GIVEN SUPPORT. AND HIS TWO BEST FRIENDS NOT ABANDONED HIM AND THEN ONE OF THEM SHOWED UP AND CALLED HIM A MONSTER THEN DEMANDED HIS HELP. I like Genesis and his potential but the blame for Nibelheim and everything after is at least 20% on his shoulders. The other 80% is divided between Hojo and Jenova. I love him, I love his potential, and I think his insanity was something cultivated and triggered purposefully and could have been avoided.

Idea for a story

Emet: I have fucking lists. One of my current favorites is either Etheria (my WoL) being trapped back in time and Emet having to vouch for her/work with her, or Elpis!Emet being dragged forward with a couple of others and having to deal with modern Etheirys and just reacting to everything. Otherwise though give me young Solus, show me Emet building up the Garlean empire with Gaius and the others, and what that looked like from the Garlean side.

Foretellers: Combining all of these into one, I want to write an au “nothing goes wrong, the war never breaks out” story series, consisting purely of Daybreak Town shenanigans and the Foretellers dealing with the would-be main Dandelion group causing trouble. Aced says if Ephemera, Skuld, and Etheria break into the tower one more time he’s locking their Keyblades away and trapping them in Agrabah. MoM and Luxu are too busy laughing and enabling them to offer the Foretellers any help. Lauriam and Brain are trying to act as the group brain cells and keep them out of trouble. Poor Strel, Elrena, and Ven have no idea how they got here but they’re stuck within the madness now.

Sephiroth: Time Travel is and will always be my favorite story trope, give me the good old FFVII classic fic of Seph and Cloud travelling back in time to when Cloud was a cadet and both of them just completely dismantling ShinRa.

Unpopular opinion

Emet: Hmmm not sure I’m familiar enough with fandom opinion to give an unpopular one? I know I’ve seen some people say he’s overrated, which I strongly disagree with but can understand for the people who don’t like him. Hmm, probably the closest I can give is that I disagree with the idea that he hates/resents the WoL for not being Azem and didn’t care at all about Garlemald - what he says and what he does are two very different things, and he offered WoL too much support to hate them (and that smile is a story of its own), plus he was beloved in Garlemald and canonically considered a kind and caring leader for a reason (until his son died maybe, but that’s a whole analysis of its own).

Aced: He’s not an idiot, he doesn’t try to kill our Keykid for the lulz, and despite what he says in UX I don’t actually think he ever wanted to “rule the world” - he was scared and desperate and trying to save the world from something that he’d been told and convinced was an inevitability so he got angry and frustrated and lashed out. Something he (and the others) was manipulated into by MoM, so… he handle the situation badly - exactly how he was supposed to. Tragically.

Gula: Same with above - he had good reasons for doing what he did, and he was scared and angry and not thinking clearly. It was planned, and he did exactly what he was supposed to. Maybe it was stupid, but given the situation he didn’t believe he had other options.

Invi: Despite what I said above, Invi is not a blind follower. She makes comments that perhaps MoM wasn’t correct, or wasn’t the right path. Her faith in him wasn’t blind - it was a choice, one she thought through and acknowledged. It’s very possible that she’ll set aside that faith when she learns the whole story.

Ira: The same as above, though I haven’t really seen much fandom opinion on him. He… really doesn’t have much.

Ava: I don’t think she’s evil, but neither do I think she’s a pure cinnamon role who can do no wrong. She made mistakes as well, she had her moments of panic (see the fight with Luxu triggering the Keyblade War) and the jury’s out on how her switch of the BoP and Master’s Defender will play out - we still don’t know if that was planned as well (probably) or if she managed to pull one over on MoM. I don’t think she’ll turn out to be evil and malicious, though. She has the best intentions, I think - but then so do the others.

Sephiroth: He hasn’t been an irredeemable madman his whole life, and what happened at Nibelheim wasn’t some inevitable end for him. I don’t know if he can be pulled back at this point - as of ACC and who even knows what’s going on with Remake/Rebirth - but he wasn’t always a madman just waiting for the moment to snap.

Favorite relationship

Emet: Hythlodaeus and Azem for sure, but his relationship with various WoLs is always fascinating, and I really want to see how he interacts with the rest of the Convocation more. I also think it would have been interesting to see his relationship with his family in Garlemald, before Lucius died and everything started falling apart.

Aced: Probably his relationship with Ira - it’s so nuanced. There’s respect and resentment in equal measure, and that’s always fun to play around with. Second is with the Player because complicated doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Gula: Hmm probably Ava? Either that or the Keykids, bc he has some very interesting dynamic moments with the Player.

Invi: I have to say MoM? We don’t see her a lot, but that’s the relationship that has the most potential to be interesting.

Ira: Aced, for the same as above. Aced is the only one who can get him riled up, so it’s interesting to see them bounce off of each other.

Ava: Either Ephemera or Brain, because there’s so much there. I’m actually going to have to say Brain? Because there’s a story there that we don’t know, especially how much she trusts him and how he seems reserved about trusting her. Ephemera trusts her more than Brain, and I want to know why Brain is so important and how they know each other. There’s nuance and complication there, much more so than Ava and Ephemera.

Sephiroth: Cloud. We’ve established that I like complicated relationships, and you can’t get much more complicated than this. There’s so much there, whether in canon or what-if aus, and it’s always fascinating to analyze and explore.

Favorite headcanon

Emet: WoL is not the first time in which Emet has taken a major role in the life of Azem’s shard - they’ve been at the center of every major conflict in history in one form or another, and Emet is very used to both fighting against them and alongside them. My WoL’s previous life was actually as a half-Dalmascan Garlean assassin who helped create Garlemald’s alchemist division during the very early days of Solus building his reign, and was his (secret) lover for a time - until she found out just a little too much about the Ascians and he killed her before she could become a threat (and she would have). There have been multiple times throughout history that he’s sought a shard out, though it always ends with them enemies and he’s never given any of them Azem’s crystal.

Aced: He loves his Union, and is really protective of his kids (unless Player is one of them. In which case oops). He bluffs and blusters loudly, but he’s a softy if you trick him into admitting it, and if an upset kid asks genuinely for help he’ll cave immediately.

Gula: He kind of hates himself for the specific role he plays in the Keyblade War, even once he finds out it was inevitable. His Union is the first to begin falling to darkness and is the most aggressive about the war, and he hates what it's done to them and that he has only himself to blame.

Invi: I… don’t really have any? I think she has a bit of a mischievous streak of her own, she just hides it really well. Make her angry though, and - well, you’ll never be able to prove it.

Ira: His attitude and “uptightness” is a very purposeful thing he projects and cultivates, because he thinks he has to. He was named leader, but even before that he… basically he and Invi the result of gifted child syndrome, and I’m sure MoM encouraged that. He has do be perfect and make the right choice every time, mistakes aren’t allowed. And when he can’t match it… well, he copes the best he can while bottling anything negative up because he can’t afford to think about it now.

Ava: She’s a prankster who’s the most vicious of all for Foretellers, and has very little respect for rules unless she can see a clear reason for them (if it’s not dangerous or potentially hurting anyone then it’s fine to break it). She’s really close to all her Union kids, and is perfectly willing to befriend kids from other Unions.

Sephiroth: He has a strong respect for Wutai’s culture, and believes that ShinRa’s actions were extreme and pointless and is a little resentful over them. He followed orders because… well, they were orders and it wasn’t until Angeal and Genesis deserted that he even realized that leaving was an option (although it really wasn’t, but he could’ve taken anything ShinRa threw at him). So he followed orders and fought, but he did it as cleanly as possible and earned at least some measure of respect from Wutai in turn.

Uhuh internet Yamero

The phenomenon which they call an "Internet Angel"

is a cutesy rainbow illumination that comes from

a supposedly "organic" AC electric light

BANG!

I've cleared out all the accounts I have

I'll make you forget about

this jaw-droppingly shitty and trashy reality

as an Angel of Charity

Keep this a secret from all adults!

And don't worry, nothing scares me anymore

Let's get off of social media, 

and we'll go together to see the ocean!*

Quit the

Internet~!!!

You imitate others like you know everything,

but you actually don't know anything

You...

What's making you sad?

What's making you lonely?

Can you hear me?

I miss people too much, 

I don't like people too much,

it's a loop

Even though I like the night,

I'm trembling in the cold

all alone

"The truth is I know how to be happy,

but I just can't stop pretending I'm miserable."

Don't let the antis* get the better of you!

Don't let the believers get to you!

No matter how hard you try,

you'll just end up in hell anyway

No, actually, maybe it's a good thing that

dark magic from Hell is already in the air

Hypocrites are trapped in the spider web

Even though I should be in a lot of pain,

I just can't stop using the internet!!!

I'M GOING INSANE!

I'm running around in ecstasy

I'm melting in Zolpidem* (misery)

I can't keep that glowing screen

off of my mind

Someone, come and put me out of my misery,

but I don't wanna die!

I don't wanna watch that in the morning

It's pointless!

I'll die!

My mind's being blown!!!!!1

"And still, I'm going to tread on through

all of the incels in this chaos, and find a sight only known to me.

For from the chaos of the internet comes

a snowy, beautiful, and poisonous signal..."

"I went to counseling,

and the doctor said to 'Get off the Internet.'

My heart hurt at the thought of never seeing you all again...

I thought, even if the real world was destroyed, I would have been better off here.

I remember the day when I got my first follower,

the day that a kind netizen looked at me and approved of me,

Ah, I just don't care about the little details anymore, say it with me!"

THE INTERNET

IS THE BEST!!!

I'm gushing out ecstasy

I'm having sweet dreams on Zolpidem (misery)

An ocean of swimming electrons

is at your fingertips,

Internet boy

Sadness dances in the air

as I play internet games in the dark

I'm smiling next to you

Surely you won't forget your Internet girl...

("storytime pls!" "end my life! :D" "read the description" "she's here!――(ﾟ∀ﾟ)――!!"　"YAAASS!" "1'm H3R3" "pog" "ok boomer" "no u" "that's not a 'Z,' its a ponytail..." "LMFAOOOOO" ">embed fail" "major W")

I heal lonely incels

through the pale light coming from their monitor. 

That’s cuz I am an Internet Angel!

[van-zieksy]

Soooo I finally met Mr. Barok van Zieks.

Is he a vampire? Is he a lunatic? Is he death himself? All of the above??

Big fan of his vibes. Also his face when he's reading from the scroll?? Mr. Van Zieks, why do you have to be so insanely dramatic about everything? Why do you look like you're suffering just for the aesthetic of it?? Like yes, he's in court, but he will still make a face like a kicked puppy that is also better than you in every way.

Also I can't believe it happened again.... When I played AA1 I sent a picture of Mia to my bestie and went "ohhh she's soo cool, I love her!!" And legit, not even kidding, 30 seconds later she was dead. And now I tell my bestie about Kazuma, how he's so sweet and such a great mix between serious and hardworking and fun and cute and BAMM!!!!!! BROKEN NECK!!!!

Also it's so upsetting that he didn't even get to die in a grand, spectacular way at least. But no, he tripped on a kitten und was pushed and hit his neck on a bed post.....

Also, kinda in love with Hosonaga now. I already feel the need to consume as much fandom content about him as possible, but for fear of spoilers I will try not to look at anything. Hopefully he makes many more appearances and nothing bad ever happens to him (other than his face getting bruised and the...coughing blood thing??). I'm guessing tuberculosis. Or Wuxia Disease, like in the Chinese fiction genre of Wuxia where whenever characters are sick or injured in any way at all, to show how dramatic the situation is, they start coughing blood.

I hope I'm not annoying you by regularly updating on how my ventures into the Ace Attorney games are going 😳

Love ya!!

Hehe, you know I love Barok! But I've already said so much about him on my blog here that there's no need for me to repeat why and how much I adore him. ;-)

I'll refrain from saying anything about Kazuma so as to not say anything spoilery by accident. I can relate to your and your friend's feelings though!

Hosonaga is lovable and also somewhat unsettling, isn't he? How did people not mind dining in the restaurant he was working as a waiter? "Here's your bloody steak, sir."..."Waiter, I didn't order my steak rare. Why is there blood on my steak?" "Oh no, my apologies, sir!" *cough cough...Hmm... :D

The reason for his couging is indeed never touched upon. It may be TB, which would fit the time period. He also has an undiagnosed buckwheat allergy, but he keeps eating noodles because his parents own a soba shop.

Hosonaga is a good and helpful guy, yet at the same time he was about to throw Ryunosuke under the bus in 1-1. It makes him relatable and human. :)

I don't want to say anything else about him as then I'd tread in spoiler territory.

Please keep me updated as you progress through the game. I welcome it. Even I don't have much to say at this time (spoilers, you know), it's interesting to read your thoughts!

Take care and enjoy the rest of the game(s). :)

Wow that was an insanely easy platinum trophy hdjdhd???????

But also tons of fun!! A nice refreshing platinum trophy after the horror that was the No More Heroes 3 plat I got a while back...god so much brainless grinding with sooo many loot up to insanely rare RNG. GAHHGHB

BUt yeah man Hokko Life is actually so much fun, especially if you can't play Animal Crossing New Horizons, which is why I picked it up in the first place, because it looked like an AC inspired game which it really is and it is so much fun! Obviously not as in depth and fleshed out as a big game like AC, but first it's fairly cheap and it's also on multiple platforms and there's tooons of costumization, I really love how you can make furniture completely from zero, like building furniture in a whole editor piece by piece it's sm fun. Even the painting/clothes designing can be fun but since I'm playing it on PlayStation it always takes a while since I have to draw with the controller stick which isn't that great jdjdj But for what it is my designs haven't been toooo bad.

There's also the city where you can go to and it has a store with design contest winner's designs for whatever furniture and you can download that and automatically have it as furniture (if you want to create more you can also build it since you got the blueprint) and then there's also a building where you can visit other player's "stores" which is also just downloads of their stuff, love how it is all for free! Buuuut downside is that you have to have the creator code of someone to access their shop, so you have to look around and google for some well known shops and can't just browse around the gallery like in other games that have similar features like the sims. And I think New Horizons also has something like this for designs?

But yeah! Here some screenshots of my village :)

I love this big flower and forest area I've made on the farm, but placing every flower and tree by hand did take a while so it actually makes me feel even better knowing the hard work behind it :'D

Then I made a Team Plasma outfit and logo, plus a sign post thingie looking Team Plasma themed too, so with the painting on it it looks like a sign! Actually reaaally love how well the logo looks. Once again, PAINFUL to draw with a controller. But for that it looks quite good??

Did also try an Arase outfit but don't have fitting coloured glasses for that yet. And sadly you can't make coats/jackets, so it looks quite flat :((

And here some screenshots of the main area of my village around my house with my tinkering corner and everything! :) When I started making decoration myself and collecting different furniture I tried going for things in that Fallout and cyperpunk vibe (Not the game Cyberpunk, just the overall topic)! Then the Plasma stuff was there too though so it's starting to turn into a bit of a mix jdhdjdhd

Also nice little garden area with also fences I've built and coloured in a more Plasma vibe kfjd

I've got the plat now during winter so my most up to date screenshots are all a bit dark but honestly I absolutely love how that looks and I wanna add lots and lots more different lights!!

And yeah, all I can say to Hokko Life is that it is really good and lots of fun, especially if you're looking for an Animal Crossing type game! I also love how you need to progress to unlock tools and different areas, it really makes you feel like you're working for all your things from beginning to end of the platinum journey. The coolest thing you get, already a while into the game as a reward, so it's not available too early, is a weather control device. Like hello??? My jaw dropped when I got this because this feels like cheating this is so OP but I love it especially since you don't really have much fun watering your farming plants so you can just make it rain real quick and all good hhshdhdj

Uhhhhh also I noticed an oddly specific bug happening to me sometimes when I placed my custom furniture?? And that's that on one of my bridges, the item got placed. But like, it's not there to be interacted with and it's gone when I reload the map so I'm guessing it's a weird graphical bug so don't freak out when you get the same bug and think you screwed up somehow kdhdjdb

reset part II ~ portgas d. ace x reader

3,800 words | she/her, f!body | nsfw

summary: the timer finally resets (soulmate reincarnation)

a/n: @bekky06 !! i had so much fun with this request, bet you weren't expecting it to be in a two parter! and tagging @levistiddies because you asked for it!

masterlist | soulmate event

part 1

“Will someone shut him up already?”

Nami pats your shoulder with a sympathetic smile, “It’s better to just let them go on until they wear themselves out.”

A crash echoes from the living room as Ace tackles Luffy off the couch for the last chicken wing.

You look at Nami with complete and utter despair in your eyes, “How have you put up with this for so long?”

It had only been a few months since you moved in with Nami. Although sometimes it feels like you moved in with her entire friend group.

At any given moment there was at least two or three of her friends in the apartment. But they weren’t all bad. Sanji popping in to bring some new delicious food he had created. Zoro would swing by in the afternoons to nap on the couch and could sleep through just about anything. Robin and Franky would visit occasionally, the later fixing any broken appliance or upgrading them without asking. Usopp and Chopper coming around with new games and movies to lend. And then there was Luffy.

You loved Luffy. Truly, the boy’s energy and devotion weren’t something you could hate. But there was one part of him that drove you truly insane.

His brother.

“Someone talking about me?” Ace sits (read: crashes) into the chair beside you, “You gonna finish that?” He nods at your plate.

You push it towards him, “I’ve suddenly lost my appetite.”

The jab goes over Ace’s head who just happily takes a bite, “Don’t know how, Sanji’s cooking is the best!” He pauses before quickly adding, “Don’t tell Thatch I said that.”

You roll your eyes, “Don’t worry, I don’t waste my free time talking about you.”

“Bet that doesn’t stop you from thinkin’ about me.” He waggles his eyebrows, leaning over your shoulder.

“Ugh!” You scoff, jumping from your chair just as Ace tips over in his and sprawls out on the ground, “Disgusting.” You mutter to yourself, pointedly ignoring Nami’s smirk.

Why she thought you had a thing for him was beyond you. Okay, so what if he has a nice bone structure, and what does it even matter if you definitely stole a second glance that time he had to change shirts when Luffy spilled a drink all over him. That doesn’t mean you like him.

He was way too energetic for your tastes, taking up so much space, like he was suffocating you with every smile he’d send your way.

Cleaning up a few plates and cups you head to the kitchen, needing a moment to collect your thoughts. Ace wasn’t too far off base with his comment. Not that he would ever find out about the thoughts that plagued your mind late at night.

“Vivi’s here!” Nami calls, quickly appearing in the kitchen entrance, “You good if I leave for the night?”

“You taking your idiots with you?”

“I can get them out of your hair for a price.” She sings.

“How about at the cost of keeping a roommate?” You shoot back.

Nami presses a friendly kiss to your cheek, “That’s a deal. You sure you don’t want me to leave one of ‘em behind?” She asks with a devious grin.

“Very sure.” You mutter, suddenly finding quite a bit of interest in the plate you’re scrubbing.

“Whatever you say.” Nami teases, heading back, “Alright dumb and dumber! Let’s go!”

You listen as Nami wrangles Luffy and Ace out of the apartment. With Nami heading to Vivi’s for the night, you’re sure you’ll have the apartment until morning. Not that you’ll take advantage of the privacy, probably just clean up a bit and turn on some trashy reality show until you pass out on the couch.

“Hello?” A very specific voice calls out, “(Y/N)! I think I left my phone here!”

You suppress a groan, hoping he’ll find it and get out, but it seems you’ve spoken too soon.

“You need help?”

“Thought you were looking for your phone.” You say, placing a bowl in the drying rack.

Ace slides up beside you, “Doesn’t mean I should leave you with all the cleanup.” He picks up a towel, “Can’t prove I’m boyfriend material if I can’t even dry a plate or two.”

“That’s what the drying rack is for.” You don’t meet his stare, not wanting him to see the flustered look on your face.

“C’mon.” Ace reaches for the plate in your hands, “It’ll go a lot quicker if you let me help.”

“It’s fine, Ace.” You snap, his arm too close to yours to keep your thoughts straight.

But he’s relentless, “I promise I won’t break ‘em!” He reaches as you try to twist away, holding the dish further away.

“Ace!” You try to elbow him, but he easily dodges it and uses the chance to grab for your wrist.

The moment his fingers brush against your skin it’s like all the air has been sucked out of the room. The sound of the ceramic shattering to the floor far in the distance as your eyes glaze over.

.

He had been right behind you. You swear he was right behind you. But there’s a coldness creeping up your spine and you know something is wrong. Twisting backwards, you watch your worst fear turn to reality.

“Ace!” The scream rips from your throat, “Ace, no!”

Your feet move on their own, tripping and stumbling over debris until you’re on your knees behind him. You can’t see his injury, if it wasn’t for the coldness overtaking your heart you might assume he’d be okay.

His mouth is moving, but the ringing in your ears make it impossible to hear what he’s saying. But then blood starts pouring from his mouth and his arms are going limp, putting more and more of his weight on Luffy.

“Ace.” Your voice croaks and his eyes flash to yours. In that moment it’s just the two of you.

“Thank you… for loving me.”

.

A gasp tears from your throat and you feel like your head is being split in two. But you’re back in your kitchen, the faucet running in the background. There’s a broken plate on the floor and Ace is starring at it for the longest time until he finally looks up and meets your wild stare.

“That wasn’t my fault.” He points at the shards on the ground.

Laughter bubbles in your throat because that’s all he can say? The ridiculousness of it nearly knocks you on your ass as you stumble backwards.

“Hey! Careful!” Ace’s grabs your forearms, “You’re gonna cut yourself!”

.

“You can’t keep coming to me with each little problem.” You chide him, carefully wrapping a bandage over the cut, “We have a doctor for a reason.”

“Marco said he was done with my ‘dumbass injuries’.” Ace uses finger quotes, “Plus he doesn’t kiss it better like you do.”

You chose not to comment on his flirtations, instead pulling maybe a little too tightly on the wrapping just to see him wince , “And how did you get this then?”

“Ehh.” Ace shrugs, “There may or may not be a broken cabinet in the kitchen.”

“Couldn’t figure out the combination?” You tease, referring to the locks that had been installed throughout most of the kitchen.

“Ridiculous how they’re trying to starve us.” Ace rants, “We should do something about it.”

You roll your eyes, tapping off the cloth, “Some of us know the code.” You say with a wink, reveling in the look of betrayal that crosses his face.

.

“Let go of me!” You shout, batting his hands and trying to pull away. “Just, just get away from me!”

“(Y/N).” He pleads, his hands still outstretched but giving you your space.

You can’t do this, can’t think straight as your eyes dart around in a panic. You need to get out of here, you need to get away from him. You could barely think straight around him to begin with but this, this, is just making everything worse.

Without another word you sprint to the bathroom, slamming the door behind you, even locking it for good measure before collapsing against side of the tub.

What the fuck? What the fuck was that?

It felt so real. Those emotions, those scenes. Like you had lived them, not just some imagined daydream in your head.

Clambering up, you stand in front of the sink, splashing water onto your face before looking at yourself in the mirror. “Am I going crazy?” You ask yourself, noting the wideness of your eyes “Holy shit, I think I’m going crazy.”

“Hey.” Ace’s voice carries through the door, “You’re not going crazy.”

You’re silent, hoping he’ll go away, praying that he’ll leave you alone so you can just chalk it up to a lack of sleep or maybe something bad that you ate. Yeah, that’s what this is, can’t be anything else, impossible to be anything else.

“(Y/N)? Can we just talk about this?”

The calmness of his voice ticks you off a bit. Like you’re the irrational one for freaking out. You rip open the door, “And what is this?” You gesture between the two of you, “What the actual fuck is even going on?” Almost begging him to explain what neither of you understand.

“I’m not sure.” Ace answers cautiously, as if talking to a startled and wounded animal, “But maybe if we sit down for a minute.” His hand reaches out for yours, intending to take you to the couch and get you a glass of water.

.

“I wouldn’t count yourself out just yet, girlie.”

“What?” You laugh humorlessly, “Am I going to get a new timer or something?” You ask, not that you’d ever want one. Not if it wasn’t with Portgas D. Ace.

The old woman turns to look over the stretch of the island. It’s early in the morning and the sun is just starting to peek over the horizon.

“Just like the days, everything resets eventually.” And then she let’s out a loud cackle, and you’re starting to think she’s must be a little bat shit crazy.

“Keep thinking that shit about me and I won’t help ya.” She whacks you again with her stick, “Now c’mon!” She calls, already steps ahead of you, “We’ve got a lot of work to do!”

.

“Ace.” You whisper, coming back to the present but feeling as if you just lived a whole other life. Every bit and piece finally falling into place.

That woman. That witch. Was she a witch? You’d never know. What did she do to you? What did she do for you?

You can feel tears gathering in your eyes as you reach out to cup his cheek and he immediately nuzzles into your palm, glad to see you’ve calmed down a bit.

“Is it, is it really you? Is it really us?”

“I have no fucking clue.” He murmurs.

“How are you so calm?”

He shrugs, “Not the weirdest thing that’s happened to me.” You give him an unimpressed look, “I’m serious!” Ace protests with a smile, “Haven’t I ever told you about the time Sabo and I bribed a ghost to haunt Luffy?”

A watery laugh bubbles in your throat, “You’re so stupid sometimes.”

“Tell that to Sabo who fell for it.” Ace says smugly, “Easiest twenty bucks I ever made.” He pauses, “You’re okay, right?”

You nod tentatively, because no. You’re not okay, but you’re not not okay, “Sorry I freaked out.”

“Don’t be.” He squeezes your hand with a humorless “You probably had a lot more years of memories to sort through.” And shit was that the wrong thing to say, Ace mentality hits himself. Because then your face is crumpling, and you let out a gut-wrenching sob.

“Ah fuck.” Ace groans, pulling you to his chest, “C’mon. I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that.”

All he gets in response are hiccups and babbled whimpers. Collecting you in his arms, Ace brings you to the couch. He tries to settle you with intentions of grabbing a glass of water but your hand shoots out before he can go, dragging you down with him.

.

“When you going to give up this pointless chase?”

Ace throws a toothy grin at Izou, “Isn’t that what being a pirate’s all about?”

Marco scoffs, “Not when it’s this pathetic.”

Ace ignores his crew’s words in favor of watching you on the other end of the ship.

You’re not doing anything extraordinary, just helping rig the sails. But he’s never seen anything so beautiful in his entire life.

You’ve made your stance pretty damn clear, and he can live with that. Even if it’s only getting to hear your laugh one more time, Ace will die a happy man.

.

“Tell me what you’re thinking.” You almost beg, curled against his chest as his fingers have been running comforting circles along your shoulder for the better part of an hour, “You’ve barely said anything beside talking me off this ledge.”

“I think I want to kiss you.” Ace answers with a straight face that almost immediately twists up when his words process, “I mean, shit. That isn’t what I meant.”

“Oh.” You’re a little stunned at his forwardness, but then again he never did have a filter, “So you don’t want a kiss?” You joke, trying to lighten the mood.

“(Y/N).” Ace whispers, taking your hand, “I’ve wanted to kiss you since the day I met you. Both times.”

Your lips wobble, as he looks at you with honest intensity. What you did to deserve to have a second chance at this you may never know.

“So kiss me.”

And you don’t have to tell him twice as Ace captures your lips, his tongue sliding against yours almost instantly. He leans over you, pressing you deeper into the couch.

Your arms circle his shoulders, holding him tight against you while he slots a thigh between your legs. He groans into your mouth when he feels you grind against his leg and it’s all happening so fast that he can barely think straight.

“Wait, wait.” Ace pulls back, and the look on your face is really testing his resolve, “Are you sure about this?”

“Ace.” Your voice is throaty and deep in a way he’s never heard before and will definitely never forget, “I’ve waited a lifetime for this.”

“Okay.” He nods, swallowing thickly, “Right, uhm. Me too.” His eyes dart around the living room, “Did you want to do this here, or?”

His awkwardness warms your heart, and it reminds you just why you loved this man in the first place. “C’mon.” You slap his ass, earning a squeak, “Follow me.”

And then it’s a race to your bedroom while Ace tries to grab you, but you’re more concerned with pulling off articles of clothing so that by the time you get to your bed, you’re dressed in nothing more than your bra and panties.

His kisses trail down your throat while his hands tug at the straps of your bra, uncoordinated hands trying to unclasp the back until you take over.

“Would be easier if I could just burn it off.” Ace grumbles but then going silent when he’s faced with your bare chest. “Fuck.” Ace breathes, his eyes dragging up and down your body before meeting your gaze again, “You’re beautiful.”

You squirm a bit. It felt less embarrassing when he was just starring at your tits.

“Hey.” He cups your cheek, “We don’t have to do this now. I’ve waited a lifetime too, I can wait a little longer.”

“No!” You cry abruptly, “I mean, I want this, I do. I just…” You trail off with a shrug.

He hums in response, placing a soft kiss on your shoulder, “I know.” You whine when he pulls back but are rewarded when he tears off his own shirt, making quick work of his belt and shorts too.

You’ve seen him shirtless before, in this life and many times in the one before. But now it’s different when your fingers trace that faint birthmark he’s always had.

“Huh.” Ace looks down at your trembling fingers, “Guess that makes sense.”

But you don’t want to think about that right now. Running your hands further down, they toy at the hem of his briefs, one of your hands slipping in to grasp his hardening cock.

Ace grunts, his fingers tightening on your hip while your hand slowly works him over. “Shit.” He groans, thrusting back into your hand with each twist of your fingers until his hand grabs at your forearm, “That’s enough.” He almost growls and it make you feel powerful to know you almost worked him over with just a few light touches of your hand.

A feral grin stretches across your face when you meanly squeeze, and Ace is quick to escape your hold. Instead slithering down your body to give you a taste of your own medicine.

His lips leaving behind a scorching trail of kisses over your breasts and down your stomach until he mouthing at you through the wet and flimsy piece of fabric that separates his tongue from your cunt.

“Ace.” You whine, fingers twisting into his hair while your thighs try to lock around his head until he holds them down with his hands, “Stop teasing.” You almost sob, feeling his tongue prod at your clit.

He tuts, ignoring your cries in favor of building you up slowly, pulling the most sinful sounds from you with his soft touches while you buck you fruitlessly buck your hips against his face.

It isn’t until you forcefully rip his head away from your core does he understand just how bad you need him. With you heaving chest and darkened eyes.

“Oh shit.” He breathes, quickly climbing back up your body, with gentle hands, “You need me that badly, love?” Kissing your forehead when all you can do is give him a pitiful nod.

“Alright.” He says, finally stripping away the last layer that separates both of you, “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you.” His hand wraps one of your legs around his waist, “I’ll make you feel good.”

“Please.” You nod, relief flooding you when you finally feel his cock at your entrance.

“Tell me you want it.” He groans into your ear, grinding his length through your wet folds, “Tell me you’ve always wanted this.”

“Always!” You babble, “I need you, please.”

He finally pushes in, feeling your tight heat clench around his cock. And you feel like you’re being perfectly split open, like a puzzle that finally fits together.

“So perfect.” He moans once he’s fully seated inside, “Like you were made for me.”

“I was.” You whisper, pulling his face up to look at you, “And you were made for me.”

Neither of you move for moment, just searching each other’s eyes. Still slightly doubting that this is really happening, that you’re both here and you’ve gotten it right this time.

Your mouth drops with a gasp when he thrusts slightly, pulling back and pushing in again just to see you make that face again.

And then you’re off. Both of you rolling your hips perfectly in sync with one another as you swallow up each other’s whimpers and moans. Your hands digging into his shoulders while his guide your hips until one of them sneaks between your flushed bodies to circle at the little nub of pleasure that has you seeing stars.

“Ah!” You squeak, “Ace, Ace.” Your voice chants, “I’m think, I think I’m gonna-”

“Do it.” He says, picking up speed with his thrusts and his fingers, “I’m right behind ya, just. Please, cum for me.”

With that final desperate plea from Ace you feel yourself tip over the edge, falling into an abyss of pleasure that Ace soon joins you in.

He always burned you in your last life. With touches and stolen glances and words. And it’s apparently no different this time around because you feel a warm fire flickering inside you when he fills you, coaxing out every heated drop of pleasure he can get and then still demanding more.

“I love you.” He groans into your ear, teeth sinking into your neck as he tappers out his final few thrusts, “I love you so fucking much.”

“Mhmm!” You cry as he collapses onto your chest, rolling you over with a groan so he’s not crushing you. You bury your face into the crook of his neck while he presses a kiss to your forehead, “I love you, Ace. Always.”

Only the sound of harsh breathing fills the room, minutes passing like seconds while Ace’s fingers dragging up and down your back.

“Why didn’t we ever do that sooner?” You ask breathlessly, mumbled into his shoulder.

“You’re the one who told me to buzz off.” Ace grumbles, “Even Pops told me it was a little sad the way I trailed after you.”

You feel your stomach tighten, reminding you of the reason whyyou kept him at such a distance.

“Hey.” Ace whispers, a gentle hand cupping your cheek and guiding you to look at him, “I wouldn’t have changed anything about last time.”

“I would have changed everything.” You whisper, tightly gripping his hand, “I would have told you how much I loved you. I would have tried harder to stop you. I would-”

“Shh.” Ace presses a finger to your mouth, “You didn’t do anything wrong. If anything, I should have listened to you.” You start to shake your head, but Ace stops you, “Let’s not even think about it, let’s just use this life instead, okay?”

“Okay.” You nod softly, nuzzling against his palm. You feel your eyes drooping, the warmth of his hold and fullness of him still seated inside you lulling you to sleep.

Just as your eyes slide shut, a loud ring pierces through the silence.

“Fuck, shit, fuck.” Ace grumbles, trying to reach for his shorts on the edge of the bed with out jostling you too much. He finally grabs his phone and is able to turn it off, regaining the silence in the room. And he thinks he got away with it until-

“Thought you said you lost that here?” Your voice is smug while Ace tries to sputter some excuse, not knowing it was in his pocket, swearing he thought he left it on the couch, must have magically returned to him

You smile, tightening your arms around his neck. You hope your life will be filled with moments like this, stupid and pointless but worth every second until they run out.

Hell On Earth

⤷ dream x f!reader.

⤷ genre: fluff

⤷ word count: 3.2k

⤷ requested: yes, by this lovely anon!

— summary: you barge into clay’s office to complain about his broken air conditioner, unaware that he’s streaming.

Florida was hell.

You liked to say it as a joke, during October when the rest of the world was freezing, during December when the insane temperatures finally went back under control, and the sun granted you its blessing of a refreshing gust of wind every now and then. You liked to say it as a joke, mostly, but God, did you mean it whenever summer would creep around the corner and you’d get reminded of why you told your boyfriend so often that the devil must’ve left hell, came down to America, and bought himself a nice penthouse in Florida.

It lived up to its title of the hottest state in the US, by far, considering the hellish temperatures that constantly made you dizzy whenever June rolled around. You had great air conditioning in your apartment, though, and as soon as the sun started burning skin, plants, water, and everything in its way, you and your college roommate would lounge at your place as the air conditioner blew cold wind and thank the lord (and the person who invented AC, bless his heart) for providing you with at least one blessing during these trying times.

So, of course that as soon as summer came about, your air conditioning conveniently broke.

Your roommate was out of the apartment within two days, flying to her family in Wisconsin, bidding you farewell as she left you to cook like a raw chicken in your shared apartment. Thankfully, you had a boyfriend - and what a boyfriend he was.

You don’t like to brag, but at these moments, you feel grateful to the universe and whoever else is looking over you for providing you with a rich boyfriend, with quite a big, echo-y house, and air conditioning made of pure heaven. As soon as your roommate packed your bags, you packed yours too, - if one backpack filled with makeup, your laptop, meds, underwear and hopes that he’d let you steal all of his clothes could count as “bags” - locked the apartment and left, ready to leave the AC on snowman temperature for two days minimum and ignore all his complaints.

Bad luck seemed to follow you everywhere, though, because you were there for merely three days when the air conditioning started stuttering.

You were sprawled on the cold sheets of his bed, listening to the low hum of the AC as you scrolled through your phone, his white T-shirt sticking to your back, the cold air cooling the sheen of sweat that covered your body, leaving goosebumps all over. One of your fingers started lazily petting Patches’ stomach, and you could faintly hear Clay talking in the background, the sounds coming from his office.

“Thank you for the gifted subs! Um, yeah, it’s really hot here, I can barely, like, breathe in here. I have the AC on at highest, but all it’s doing is giving me a headache. Even-even my water bottle is completely hot.” You heard him rant and chuckled, turning on your side and continuing to scroll through random videos.

You sort of tuned out his talking, knowing he’d most likely be cooped up in that office for hours before your shared dinner, and started watching random YouTube videos, ignoring your surroundings as you shoved your earbuds in your ears. 

The longer the videos lasted, the more you felt like you were suffocating. The heat crawled up on you slowly, sneakily, almost unnoticeable yet undeniably there, hand made up of pure fire gripping at your throat tighter and tighter. It started off seamlessly, with you rolling around, trying to find a new cold spot on the sheets, to pulling at the shirt, trying to create cold air to soothe you, to wiping the sweat that basically covered your entire forehead, when your eyes finally peeled away from your phone and you realised you were basically choking in the heat, feeling like you’re breathing fire. 

You lift your head off the bed way too quickly, head pounding, and look at the one thing meant to save you from this madness - just to see it leaking water down the wall, barely coughing out any air. Your head miserably falls back down on the bed, hands rubbing at your face, dangerously close to both crying and screaming in distress. After a few moments of self-wallowing, you get up and make your way over to your boyfriend’s office, being met with nothing but silence as you walked to it, happy he ended the stream so you could complain and wail to him, possibly cool down using the AC in his office. 

You slam the door open, seeing him hunched over in his gaming chair, Minecraft open as usual, and as soon as he takes one headphone off, turns around and sends a surprised but oddly panicked gaze your way, you start ranting.

“Babe, you won’t believe what just happened.” you said, rubbing a hand over your face again, eyes closing as you feel the coldness - in comparison to the living hell that was his bedroom right now - of the room wash over you. You don’t even let him speak before you continue.

“The fucking AC in your bedroom just broke. It’s leaking right now.”

Clay looks like he wants to say fifteen words at once, and the first one that comes out is: “What?”

“I swear. I was watching something on my phone, and I realised it’s crazy hot, so I looked up and realised it’s broken. Why does this happen to me!” you complained, and he tried pulling his headphones off for a second but instead pulled the cord out of the computer entirely, letting you hear everything that goes on in his headphones.

It’s silent for a second or two, before you hear a familiar voice.

“Dream.” you hear a British man with an awfully posh accent speak, and your eyes meet Clay’s in pure horror and realisation, when you slap a hand over your mouth. He looks as equally terrified as you, but also disappointed, because oh, that’s why he looked so panicked when you stormed in.

Then you hear another voice, equally British, but higher pitched. They laugh. “Is that Drista?”

Clay seems to snap back into reality, turning around towards the computer and adjusting his mic before speaking. “No- it’s- Tommy she said babe, why would Drista call me babe?”

“You’re so stupid, he was trying to help you.” You hear his long-time friend, Sapnap, deadpan, and you can practically feel all of them freaking out, while you stand in the doorway in horror, cheeks heating up despite the fully working AC.

Another laugh. “No, I wasn’t, I was genuinely asking. Why- Sapnap, why would I be helping Dream?” 

“Dream, you are so stupid.” you hear George laugh into his mic and your boyfriend immediately starts stuttering, trying to defend himself.

“How-how am I stupid?! She’s the one who walked in, what was I supposed to do?” you lean against the doorway as he defends himself, head buried in one of your hands.

“Mute!” you hear Sapnap borderline yell, almost mad. 

“Wait- I don’t get what’s going on- Does Big D have a girlfriend?” you hear the British boy, Tommy, ask, and all of them go silent for a few seconds before a loud, screeching laugh breaks out through the speakers, and when Clay turns around to look at you, all you can do is mouth an apology as you almost break out into laughter at how ridiculous the whole thing is.

“Oh my God, chat is going crazy right now.” George says while Tommy is laughing his lungs out in the background, still.

“Did you actually- did she actually- oh my GOD, Dream has a girlfriend! I can’t believe this!” Tommy keeps on laughing, coughing between sentences. “Dream stans, I am so sorry, this must be just a terrible, terrible day for you all.” 

“You’re probably already trending on Twitter, dude.” Sapnap adds, sounding more worried than your own boyfriend did at the moment.

“It was bound to happen at some point, I guess.” he huffs out, turning around to look at you every so often, gesturing for you to close the door and come in, which you did, guilt weighing you down as you moved.

“Are you serious? Can I- Can I speak to your girlfriend, Dream?” you can practically hear the grin in the boy’s voice and Clay doesn’t even turn to you before replying.

“No, you can’t.” 

“Oh, come on! You let me speak to your mum but not your girlfriend? Just for a little bit, please? I just- I just wanna see which lucky woman managed to get the attention of the Minecraft God, Dream himself. That’s it.” Tommy asks and you don’t even have it in you to laugh because of the anxiety that eats away at you, but then Clay sighs. 

“...Fine, I guess.” he looks up at you. “D’you wanna speak to Tommy?” 

You’re not quite sure what the expected answer is, but you shrug, gaze darting from his eyes to the computer, and then back to him. “Um… I don’t mind, I guess.” 

You hear him sigh and plug the headphones back into the computer, handing them to you. “Alright, she said yes. Here you go.” he stands up out of the chair and lets you sit, placing the way too big headphones on your head as your heart races, standing closely by your side as you roll the chair further towards the desk and microphone.

“Um… hello?” you shyly speak, and you hear something like groans of mixed annoyance, confusion and nervousness coming from George and Sapnap as Tommy starts laughing immediately, greeting you loudly. 

“HELLO, DREAM’S GIRLFRIEND!” you hear him yell in response as your shaky hands land on the keyboard, moving his character left and right. 

“Is the AC really broken?” Sapnap asks and you hear George laugh in response, considering how unimportant that information is right now. You know both of them, obviously - you’ve talked to them more than a few times, joining in on their jokes when Clay talks to them on speaker, growing as close as one can with their boyfriend’s friends.

“Yeah, it is. The AC in here is really good, though. Maybe I should stay and just take over the Dream channel.” You joke and they laugh.

“Yeah, I mean it would probably be better. A woman owning the Dream channel would make it so much better. The views would skyrocket.” Tommy says and you see his character walk up to you before he randomly laughs again.

“I can’t believe- I can’t believe Dream actually has a girlfriend. Is he, like, paying you to do this, or are you really…” he trails off and you giggle at his question, switching tools in the hotbar as you try to figure out how to play the game again.

“No, he’s not. We are dating, yes.” you confirm with a nod, and you feel Clay’s elbow sink into the chair, almost trying to listen.

“Say 1 if he’s keeping you hostage.” he says and you laugh again, shaking your head.

“No, he’s not- he’s not keeping me hostage.” you reply and you hear Clay go “WHAT?” right behind you.

“Well, of course, of course, I mean, who could ever pass up dating the great Dream. With all those subscribers, and Twitch primes, and Minecraft skills. Did- did his Minecraft skills get you?” Tommy asked, but before you could even respond, Sapnap jumped into the conversation.

“Oh yes, absolutely. She loves it. Yes, Dream, speedrun faster!” he sarcastically replies and for a few moments the whole call is blown into loud laughter, screeching and yells before it quiets down.

“Yes, what Sapnap said. I was so impressed, he just blew me away, with um… with his, um, Manhunt skills? I dunno, I don’t play Minecraft.” you hear him laugh at “Manhunt skills” behind you as the rest of the boys start laughing too.

“Dream’s girlfriend doesn’t play Minecraft?! What?! Dream- how could he allow this, seriously…” Tommy argued dramatically, his character staring at yours - or rather Clay’s.

“I can’t imagine if we were both Minecraft players, that would be a nightmare.” you replied.

“Why?” you heard George laugh through the headphones.

“Who do you think peels him away from the damn computer? If I was just like him we would never get out of the house, probably.” you argued.

“Dreamfriend, what is Dream like, you know, in real life?” Tommy spoke up and you heard George giggle again.

“Dreamfriend?” you repeated, a grin forming on your face at his stupidity, finally deciding to move the character around and switch back to the sword in the hotbar.

“Yes! Dream’s girlfriend, Dreamfriend, Dreamgirl, Girldream, whatever you like.” Tommy said and you laughed.

“Dream girl… if I wanted to get clout off Dream I’d use that, that’s genius.” 

“Thanks, I know I’m a genius, everyone tells me so.” Tommy claims and you shake your head, checking your boyfriend’s inventory to see if there’s anything interesting in there.

“Alright, I’m gonna check on the AC, I’ll be back in a second.” Clay says to you, before lowering himself to the mic so the boys could hear him. “Tommy, don’t do anything stupid, okay?”

“Oh you know it, big man! I’d never!” Tommy yells back, despite Clay being unable to hear him, and he leaves the office with one last, quick kiss to your temple.

“Is he gone?” Tommy asks, and you nod and hum, despite him not being able to see you.

“Okay, so you don’t play Minecraft, right?” he asks.

“No, I don’t.” you reply.

“So there’s this really cool thing, right. If you just go in and type /op tommyinnit, there’s this thing that’s gonna-” Tommy doesn’t get to finish his sentence before he’s cut off by Sapnap, whose character suddenly appears in front of you.

“No, no, no, no, don’t trust him, you should-” Sapnap cuts in, but Tommy still loudly protests in the background.

“BE NICE TO OUR GUEST, SAPNAP! Let her do what she wants! She is Dream’s girlfriend after all, the most powerful woman.” Tommy claims and you laugh, sort of blushing from all the attention. You don’t even dare to check the chat or the donations that come in from Twitch, because it must be blowing up by now. As if he can hear your thoughts, George speaks too.

“Oh my God, Dream’s already trending on, like, five different spots on Twitter.” he says, and you instinctively grab your phone to check, before you can even think about it.

“What?” you and Sapnap both say in sync.

“Yeah, ‘Dream’ is trending #2 worldwide, and ‘Dream girlfriend’ is #4.” he lets out a shocked laugh.

“Oh my God…” you mutter out in both excitement, nervousness and dread as you open Twitter and confirm that George is indeed correct. You don’t even dare to press on either of the trends, simply turning off your phone with a sigh and moving back to stream.

“Wow, you’re famous now! How does it feel?” Tommy asks and you let out a quite dry laugh.

“Amazing. I can feel my value as a person increasing as we speak.” you respond sarcastically and hear George quietly laugh in the background.

Just then, you hear the door to the office opening again, but you ignore it because Tommy starts speaking.

“Okay, well, I’m sure that must be very fun and exciting for you, but I really will need you to type in /op tommyinn-” 

“No! I’m not listening to you, Tommy! I’m not about to type in some stupid command and get yelled at!” you cut in, but he keeps on whining.

“Come on, we know Big D would never yell at his… beloved girlfriend! Listen, just do it, I promise he will not be mad.” he argues.

“What does /op even mean?” you ask out loud, and suddenly Clay is yelling behind you. 

“Who is asking you to op them? Give me the headset!” he says, one hand already tugging at the headphones as you laugh while Tommy panics.

“Well, it was fun talking to you guys, but I have to go. Bye!” you bid them farewell and heard George and Sapnap say goodbye as well while Tommy yelled, and you took off the headphones and passed them to Clay who immediately put them on and adjusted them, plopping back into the chair. You left, moving to the living room to process everything that happened and abandon your phone for the next few hours because you were not ready for that type of attention in the slightest.

You laid in front of the TV, watching random shows on Netflix and grabbing a few snacks from the kitchen while you could still clearly hear him yelling and streaming, wondering how he’s still going as if nothing happened. The temptation to check what people were saying was overwhelming to the point your hands were itching to grab your phone and open all social media - before you even realised it, you were on the trending page again, thumb tapping on the “Dream girlfriend” tab. 

You braced yourself for the worst, but that’s not what came at you - sure, there were a couple of tweets telling people to lay off you, and delusional shippers getting ratioed, but they were mostly positive, lighthearted jokes, from single people making jokes about how a Minecraft YouTuber can get bitches but they can’t, to people calling you cute/funny. One hate comment obviously stings more than a million positive comments make you happy, but they were mostly misogynists calling you annoying for the roughly five sentences you spoke on stream or shippers disappointed that their favorite YouTuber isn’t gay, so you didn’t really let it get to you. 

When the house finally quieted down the sun was lowering itself into darkness and melting into a pot of blinding orange and golden honey, and you heard Clay’s footsteps when he finally turned off the stream, stepping into the living room a few seconds after you heard him. He sat down on the couch next to you, wrapping an arm around your shoulders and pulling you close to him, sitting there in silence with you.

“So… that was something.” he finally broke the silence and you nodded.

“It really was.” 

Another beat of silence passes.

“I’m sorry, baby, but I really need you to stop breaking all these ACs.”

“I’M NOT THE ONE BREAKING THEM-”

“Sorry, but I’m noticing a pattern here.” he wheezed, obviously just trying to get you riled up as you pulled away so his hand gets ripped off your shoulder.

“Shut up. You better have called someone to repair that damn thing, cause there is no way we’re sleeping in there without an AC.” you huffed, and he shuffled closer to you, arm wrapping itself around your shoulders once again.

“I did, they’re coming by tomorrow.” he assured.

“Tomorrow?” you asked, looking at him in disbelief. “How are we gonna sleep tonight?”

“Who says we have to sleep?” the glint in his eye and the stupid grin plastered on his face tells you everything you need to know, and you roll your eyes.

“If we fuck, I’ll actually die of overheating. Absolutely not.”

“Well in that case, I need to get that AC fixed as soon as possible.”
