#the performances are fine. the kids work well with what they're given

[dapiando]

it's not surprising that twitter lied to me, but like, the show is Not good. Idk what all the praise was about. Like maybe if you don't know the story, it's fine (despite the egregious dialogue), but this is neither faithful enough to be that awkward, nor good enough to be that different from the source material.

You can't change shit for the worse, if it's a change it needs to be better. I feel like the opposite is happening, every change in dialogue and motivation just made shit worse than the books.

#im not tagging it cause people don't need to find this. i don't want to get yelled at #i just need to get it off my chest #the performances are fine. the kids work well with what they're given #i just WISH they had been given better stuff to work with

Shawn Michaels Is The Beatles Of The Wrestling World: Let Me Explain

Started pretty damn young. Had inclinations in their teens that they knew exactly what they wanted to do when they grew up and then did exactly that very late into life

When they started out, they had to travel a good bit in order to be successful (and traveled far more extensively later in their career)

They originally partnered with a guy who was simply just not as talented as them, so he had to be removed for the betterment of their own careers. The other guy became known as a famous metaphor for sucking.

Famously shy, but came out of their shell very well while performing.

Their entire schtick starting out was that they were for girls. Girls loved them. Girls loved their long hair and screamed over them. And they loved girls right back even though they were probably taking a lot of dick behind the scenes.

When they became successful and people realized they were actually really good, all of a sudden, men took over being their primary fans. Men were the ones who heralded them as the greatest to ever do it. As influential icons. Placing them on the short lists of the best of the best of the best. Even though they were exactly the people who wrote them off as being "nothing but a girly obsession" when they started out.

They had a very famous friendship that bordered on a relationship that, looking back on it, was probably a set of soulmates

They had a rivalry through their early career with someone who they were constantly compared to. The rivals were honestly a little bit cooler in the day, but now you can't talk about one without bringing up the other and how their rivalry shaped their little section of the industry. They get along relatively fine now as old men.

They had a little bit of a drug issue that kind of wrecked their career for a little bit, but they bounced back very easily.

They turned very heavily to religion and it became a huge influence in not only their lives, but their work as well.

There was a famous incident with a back injury that took them out of action for a very long time (but not permanently, by some incredible miracle)

Their post-religion fashion was certainly a statement and not exactly a well-regarded statement, given how iconic their pre-religion fashion was

There was an acting stint that was certainly something. It wasn't phenomenal by any means, and maybe a little strange and at times tropical, but it scratched an itch that the mega fans had to see them out of their element for a little bit.

Came out of retirement twice to widespread applauding. Even if the second time, people didn't really understand why at first, but fans eventually came around to a degree.

Intertwined in history with a woman who was integral to their success who was never properly celebrated and who died relatively suddenly at an age ending with 6.

While people may argue their talent and whether they're as good as history says they are (they are), no one can argue that they are likely the biggest influence in their industry, encouraging millions of kids to follow their dreams and occasionally mentoring them personally.

#if anyone wants me to elaborate on any of these bullet points i will #and there's probably even more specific examples but like that's already a good few #and yes some are particular-beatle-specific #but Shawn is all of them #The Beatles #Shawn Michaels #Writing

You can’t just drop that and leave, details? 👀

Okay so. (Mostly under a read more)

Originally, Foxy's Kid's Cove took up the entirety of the daycare area. The whole place was a pirates adventure themed play area, with all sorts of cool shit in it - that's a whole post for another time - and there was no daycare. The theatre, was always a cinema originally, with a stage for the occasional show put on by Foxy. It only ever showed Fazbear brand movies, and after it's initial hype wore off, the place very quickly tanked in popularity due to low variety. This is where Sunny and Moon come in.

They were introduced to lean more into the theatre aspect. They were the main acts, with fun panto performances and quiet games that kept the little ones occupied and quiet while movies played on the big screen. All fun and games! They work with Foxy fairly frequently and have free range over the rest of the Cove as well when they're on wandering hours so they're fine and pretty well loved characters.

Now this is where the problems start to arise.

There was no daycare. Sunny and Moon were the closest they had and they were supposed to be performers not daycare attendants. And yet, that's what they, (and most of the other animatronics but those two specifically) were treated as by many a guardian. It was easy to drop the kids with Sunny and Moon while a movie was on and have their teenage sibling caretakers vanish on them, with many parents and guardians doing similar things. This isn't necessarily too detrimental. Sunny and Moon can handle it, and the other animatronics can too, even if it gets a bit hectic at times. Fazbear Entertainment sees this as a non-issue, and instead focus on trying to get more money out of the situation by charging parents extra or trying to have staff or Sunny and Moon keep track of each kid long enough to charge them for every show and movie they were there for. A pretty hard task given how many kids come and go so it's um. Not going particularly great.

But then they introduce Chica as the brand new animatronic to the scene. Her theme is all about fitness, health and food. Exercise programs are her main draw and she draws in a wide range of crowds, but primarily she brings in an older audience of parents with their very young kids. Mazercise gradually becomes a place much more frequented by yoga loving parents that need a place to hangout while the kids play in the maze, mostly unsupervised. Chica can handle that and Fazbear Entertainment will take whatever money it can get so they just limit Chica's wandering hours a bit so she can do more stuff with the kids specifically.

Now, leaving kids to the maze can work fine with many of the kids, but it often isn't enough and gets incredibly boring after a while. So, some more parents start to figure they can leave their kids with other animatronics. Again, there is no daycare. There is no place where these younger kids can go where they can be cared for properly. With more little kids in need of supervising, other animatronics are starting to struggle a bit, with accidents starting to become more common. But ya know, Faz Ent is no stranger to those so it's whatever. Anyway.

The thing with little kids in the theatre in particular is that quite simply, you cannot charge a toddler for watching more than one movie or performance. There are attempts to get that money out of parents, but it's very difficult to do when all they have to do is show up and Sunny and Moon take care of it the best they can. With Chica's new attraction now bringing in more and more parents with younger kids that get bored and needy during the exercise programs, they need a place to go.

They need a daycare.

With demand so high, and Fazbear Ent seeing this as a massive opportunity for profits, they look at what they have, and start to run the numbers. Over the next year, they figure out which attraction is costing them the most money and start to phase it out. This attraction is Kids Cove. The area that will become the daycare is left to break down until kids lose interest in it and Foxy becomes the bigger part of the attraction. The largest parts of Kids Cove are closed off for rebranding. The space is given to the animatronic that deals with the most toddlers on the daily, and that is Sunny and Moon. They're removed from the theatre and to make up the time slots, Foxy is given shows to perform down there with the others as special guests on his adventures instead.

With the majority of his attraction gone and Foxy so often needing repairs due to the nature of the attraction and his general personality, it is only a matter of time before he's retired.

Now, how is this indirectly because of Chica and not Sunny, Moon or anyone else involved? There was always a need for a daycare, yes, but Chica's introduction and her main Mazercise attraction are what made that demand so high. It was nowhere near as huge before Chica was brought in and drew all the yoga parents into the Plex.

Is it her fault? No not at all. By merely existing and doing her job, she pushed over the first domino in the row though. I'll need to run the numbers on the years again, but I'm not sure how hung about him she'd be on all of this either. Ya girl's got a few friendship making problems for quite a few of those initial years after all!

But yeah, that's a good little section of my timeline right there. There's other stuff happening around there too since things tend to overlap, but that's what's most relevant. Enjoy!

Frankly, I don’t even give a damn about that whole thing with Gunn and his involvement with that certain company

If anything, this will be a cinematic universe equivalent of the time Bryan Singer directed a 2006 film for WB after the success of the first two X Men films. I bet it’ll maybe flop so badly just in the first try before it even has a chance because of the bad behavior and baggage surrounding it

Not something I give a damn enough to pay attention too. I’m only paying attention to when Godzilla Minus One and Godzilla x Kong are coming to theaters but that’s it

First of all, Superman Returns is an underrated classic. So how dare you. It has beautiful set design, music, movie moments, performances, and cinematography (Well, sometimes the movie looks oddly gross, but mostly). It's main flaw is not realizing the importance of trimming a plot down so you can keep things exciting and not lose people just long enough for them to not care.

Also, you don't have to agree with that. I don't actually care that much. It was directed by a pedophile for fucks sake. But y'know, sometimes terrible people make great work.

Even when those terrible people should be put in prison and shunned by society.

'Cause I'm not defending that asshole. Fuck him. I just liked a movie.

Fuck Kevin Spacey too. The way people talk about him, I'm led to believe he might be responsible for murders. But I ayy, that's just a theory. Just...just a theory. Let that meme that probably came to some people's mind die, because no one laughs at it anymore, it's getting sad.

But as far as Superman Legacy goes? Will probably be the best DC movie since The Suicide Squad.

James Gunn is capable of making awesome movies. And his sudden decision to make the Guardians care about killing at the weirdest time they could, will at least work for a Superman story that will presumably not have a bad guy who has killed billions upon billions and billions of people.

So, that's good, I guess.

It's so far everything else I am worried about. Not the quality of Creature Commandos, or the Green Lantern show, or the Booster Gold show. I feel like it'll be fine.

My gripe is absolutely ridiculous decisions with the greater DC Universe he's attempting to create.

For example of his most recent stupid statement, of saying stuff will carry over, but Superman Legacy is the first canon film.

Like what does that mean? If you're going to be carrying stuff over, presumably that means it is also canon. Or are you going to be retconning stuff as it goes along to serve your own desires, while mostly using stuff from past things on some occasions? Because that's confusing as hell.

It's like a kid doodling or day dreaming. They can follow and not follow what they want. They're a kid and their enjoyment is to be theirs's and usually theirs's alone.

Not so much when you're making an expanded cinematic universe, that people will want to comprehend so they can follow and enjoy themselves as it's further expanded.

Then his first slate is this:

Superman Legacy, which again I think will likely be great, if overcrowded.

The Authority (Who I heard will also be in Superman Legacy. So why is that coming up so soon? Seems self-serving and unnecessary, but I'm not judging it that badly. I'm only a little confused, and shrugging there. Not absolutely baffled or anything. They could easily do something to warrant it that makes sense.)

The Brave and the Bold:

Which is a movie directed by the dude that did the Flash, a movie that makes no sense logically, even in its own plot, and has so many bad moments and effects that it's difficult to sit through. That is also (Meaning Brave and The Bold here) ignoring most of the gold given to them from the source material. So they can have a Batman with a full family, that's likely to be too crowded for anyone to give a shit that isn't a pea brain who only needs to see something vaguely representing something they kind of know. When they have a much fresher Superman. Which creates a very similar problem the DCEU id to begin with. And is also bastardizing and missing the whole fucking point of the story it is trying to adapt. And on top of that, even if they adapting it in a way that makes more sense, would still be a TERRIBLE STORY TO ADAPT FOR THE FIRST BATMAN FILM IN THIS UNIVERSE.

Then there's: Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow.

Which makes me questioned why the fuck Batman, and later on Swamp Thing are going to be in it, when whatever plot it could possibly have seems to be mostly Superman related.

'Cause if we're having a movie where we have Superman, the entirety of the Authority Team, and the whole Bat-Family, as well as Supergirl, and Swamp Thing...THEN IT'S GONNA BE A MESS. This isn't the damn MCU where we had 10 years of time to make sure things worked.

And if this is not building up to anything that's only them, why waste a chapter (what they're calling phases) on that then? If you're going to take more time, shouldn't the chapters be bigger so people can get a clue what's going on in your messy messy mind? 'Cause that'll also waste people's time.

Also, also, and, and, why Swamp Thing?

That has James Mangold directing, so I trust that to be quite a good movie potentially. Maybe even the best of the whole chapter.

But who the fuck starts off the CINEMATIC UNIVERSE's first phase, with a character that largely only interacts with stuff in a very specific subsection, that I highly doubt will be able to be used in a way that makes that specific movie happening so fast worth it.

If I have to eat my words so be it. Because I don't want to expect things to be bad, nor do I want them to be bad. So eating my words would be a tasty dessert. I just can't imagine what bullshit he's planning, unless he's going about something in an extremely messy way.

Then we got the TV Shows, but whatever. I don't need them to be all connected, and I doubt they will be more heavily connected, since it'd be a bitch decision to expect people to watch the shows to care about the movies. When Marvel has been going on for nearly 15 years, and can't get people to bother with their shows that will explain very imperative stuff that needs to be understood and enjoyed fully.

BUT WAIT, OH NO

Lanterns IS supposed to tie in to the greater DCU story.

So he is expecting people to care that much for a universe, that is built on major cracks, and tarp that was put up to cover the collapsing walls of the place.

And I did see someone else also say that James Gunn is making a universe for himself (While I think also making many bullshit statements which made no one care about that part), and the main liked response is "Isn't that most movies?"

No, no it isn't.

Most people that make movies, make movies expected to make sense, and be enjoyed by a larger audience.

So no. And that's very stupid to say. But it sounded like a nice defense, so whatever I guess.

And regardless, that doesn't mean he's making good decisions, and while you can say "Yeah, but making stuff for himself by default isn't bad", I would be telling you in my brain since I'm not that rude in actual conversation to shut the fuck up, because the obvious implication is that he doesn't give a shit in a way that matters for it all to work out and be good in a way that feels properly fulfilling like we may have tapped the potential finally that DC has to offer.

So we're left, instead of that, a cinematic universe that at best is going to have a Batman movie that's going to be okay enough maybe at best, despite the many heinously asinine decisions behind the making of it. And a story that is either going to be super forced, or told in a very unsatisfying manner, or at least a confusing matter.

Should I wait to see? I do not care. I don't want to watch a universe that skipped straight to Damian. Because beyond the fact I don't think he's been a good character since the Dick Grayson led Batman and Robin--and that's ONLY during the time Grant Morrison wrote it. Wasting what might be dozens of good pieces of source material to create an emotionally effective, dazzling, well-woven movie trilogy (possibly behind) for the sake of making a movie, basically because some guy who has no experience actually crafting a cinematic universe (And seems to have issues with the one he did work on when it comes to how his specifically created stuff was intertwined. Maybe not big cry baby ones. But still), wanted to make an adaptation of a story that was only good for a small fragment of time, for specific reasons, and was surrounded by massive piles of dog shit directly because of the decisions that let that series be made in the first place, while also NOT adapting the parts of it that worked--is (One massive sentence later) MOR-ON-IC.

People that write the comics CAN'T EVEN WRITE THE BAT-FAMILY, most of the Bat-Family fandom (As in the vocal parts that are obsessed with the fandom) DOESN'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY'RE LIKE.

Am I supposed to trust this movie, given all of that, to get the characters right to begin with? I don't feel like I should. It would seem to be too much to naturally assume they'll get it right given preceding evidence.

Anyways, I think Superman Legacy will be a success. James Gunn carries a lot of weight.

But I don't think Authority will do well. Hardly anyone knows who they are, and they don't have a cool hook like Guardians of the Galaxy.

People act like it's a surprise Guardians of the Galaxy was successful 'cause no one knew the comic.

I think that's also silly. Not dumb, but silly.

A lot of movies have been adapted from things people don't know. It doesn't effect anything one way or another. It just has to seem interesting enough to watch on it's own terms.

At the same time, though, I'm not sure I think people want an ultra cynical super hero team right now. Nor one that is very much of the time it came from.

Unless they're going to have Superman teach them the lesson of optimism. In which case, why the fuck are you doing an Authority movie, where they don't act like what people liked about them to begin with.

Seems lose lose.

I can't help but feel like they're either going to lose the box office, or the soul of the property.

If the Flash, a well-known character can't do it. And Shazam 2, a movie that is a sequel to a successful movie people loved didn't do it. Or Black Adam, a movie starring one of the highest grossing movie stars of the current day couldn't do it.

Then I'm not sure I can see how The Authority is going to do it.

And with competition from a sequel spawning from a critically acclaimed Batman movie, I don't think Brave and the Bold will do extraordinarily well, especially when they got the people working on The Flash behind it. 'Cause unless James Gunn magically knows they actually know how Batman works and for some reason didn't show that before, it's not going to be a great movie, or a movie the greater fan base will like. It's going to be a movie that fandom people like--maaaaybe. The fans that aren't really as vast as people think, but are simply loud, and only cares about the brand names in the end. As shown by how little true successes DC has lately. Their 'successes' are mostly based on the standards of how low they fallen. Which is de-press-ing.

Supergirl likely won't do well, since we just had Superman, and most people don't care about Supergirl that aren't comic people to begin with. Even the television series struggled a bit, and people who watched did like it--I think. Well, sometimes. It has a fandom obsessed with it, but no shit. That's what a fandom is. I can't take anything out of that, general view wise.

Swamp Thing I imagine will be great, but it's so niche I don't think it will make big money. But if they're smart they'll use just enough money to make it look good and leave it at that. So it could make money if they're smart. People like horror flicks, and monster movies. There's natural potential there.

It's a TV series' world out there, with people enjoying serialized storytelling more than ever. So I think the series' will do okay.

If I'm proven wrong, I won't be totally shocked. But I would be surprised.

When James Gunn was announced as head of the DCU, I was happy, quite happy. The Suicide Squad is my favorite DCEU movie by a large margin. I love the Guardians of the Galaxy movies. All of them. Even if I have issues with the 3rd one hardly anyone seems to talk about. Like that movie really wasted Adam Warlock. He might as well have never been built up if he was going to do so little that could easily be switched out with someone or something else.

It so happens, that I am not a man of bias though. As that may sometimes seem. The last time my blog had relevance, and wasn't used as the dark void I scream into, I was actively shitting on one of my favorite comic book writers series' that was starring my favorite DC character.

I've learned over the years of being in a fandom that acts like a cult sometimes, that just accepting what you're brain tells you is closer to reality than the nonsense mental gymnastics you came up with to convince yourself otherwise.

So I'm not letting my love of other James Gunn movies make me ignore all these weird decisions, that are weird, and to an extent awful at least in enough of a way to mean something no matter how you swing it.

Also best of luck with Zilla shenanigans. I have no upcoming movies I'm eagerly awaiting for that's coming out anytime soon. I'm abiding my time 'til Deadpool. A movie that is directed and written by people who make continuously great movies that don't make me scratch my head. Because thankfully they just have to work on one hero's story, not look over all of them, where they'd probably also mess up.

You can't have a guy who treats creative properties like toys run your cinematic universe. He has a great mind for some things, but I don't think he has the sense for this.

#Long Post

[amphiptere-art]

Still not done with the crimple introduction. Remember you can just ask about them now. I'll be giving little tidbits of the introduction so you guys can at least see how they interact and work.

Here's what I got so far after today. Not too much different from last time but a couple more paragraphs.

Blue Moon was confused. They had been teleported randomly. He was in the daycare. Well, what they perceived as the daycare. It had the same jungle gyms and basic layout. The only difference is that the theme seem to have shifted. There was no more Castle. It looked like somebody had properly themed it with kids cove. Big wavy decorations with ships and sand. As if the entirety of the daycare was an island.

Thankfully this daycare was closed at the moment. So they did not cause a fright. Although the lack of a moon demanding where they came from was a little confusing. Then again they had been to many places. But no one had approached them yet. Certainly somebody was running the daycare? Thankfully they're question was answered as they saw movement.

The thing crawled out of the Play structure. Planting itself on the bridge. It looked strange. It crawled like a spider. Which wasn't the strangest thing they've seen, but this thing moved.. differently? It was reminiscent of a mini music man. There was more poking out though. It almost looked exposed. That there are pieces out of place. There was a snakey nature to it too. I like it slithered and crawled at the same time. It was very alien.

Description intermission- description at bottom of page.

Blue Moon caught its eyes. They were very interesting. Mismatched and moving in all the wrong directions. Well some of them were. They started to peep their head above the bridge sides. Their face was like a dog, but the more they crawled forward the more Blue Moon realized this was not the standard animatronic. It was a mishmash of parts. Two different heads. Too many arms. Not enough hands and legs to match. All of it was exposed to. The scent of metal filled their sensors.

Blue Moon flinched as they were addressed. Not expecting the almost southern, Australian sounding voice. The thing tilting their head to the side as the hand that was on where their head should go grappled onto the side of the bridge. Allowing the rest of the body to dangle.

“Well hello there. You don't look like you're standard animatronic. You got some height on ya buddy. Look like some sort of giant statue. Although I suppose those questions should be for later. Greetings are always a first. So hi buddy. I'm Crimple. The lovely caretaker of this fine place. Who are ya?”

Blue Moon could do nothing but stare for a second. The thing moved exaggeratedly. Hands waving wildly. Although there was a pose with every movement. It looked more like a performance. The hands and arms also extended. The little discs that made up the animatronics upper limbs and neck moved about so arms and legs could be made longer. It was like some exaggerated magic trick with how they were thrown about. Dancing around almost like nano machines extending and contracting a limb.

Blue Moon finally snapped out of their stupor. Cut off guard as the thing move the discs that made up a long arm into their neck. Stretching it forward to reach Blue Moon's face.

“Come on! Don't leave me hanging!”

A couple of the discs and a hand moved forward on the extended neck. Extending a shorter hand and arm right below their head. In a similar motion to a handshake.

“Blue Moon is what my name is. I would say it would seem strange but I feel it is inaccurate given what yours is.”

“Haha. You and me buddy. Strangest names in all the pizza plex. Although I would say you're stranger. You definitely don't look like anyone I've ever seen.”

“No you would have not seen me before. For I have opened many universes doors. Not on purpose as much as I wish. If I could have the control of others I would gleefully switch.”

“Ahh. You're one of those universe hoppers. Seen a couple, Although not many. Definitely not one like you. You're so big! What are you?”

Blue Moon was about to answer before they stuttered. The little thing finally jumping off of the bridge and scuttling over. All of their discs combining to make a very long neck. Hands and leftover feet hanging off the sides of it. They sacrifice one of their more normal looking limbs to the neck also. Finally meeting Blue Moon face-to-face. Where they could only stare into their eyes as they let out a small cackle.

“Dear goodness, 14 feet-ish. You really are a tall bugger.”

The Tower that allowed them to look Blue Moon in the eyes started to crumble. Discs falling off in an exaggerated fashion as a reformed back into the previous shape.

“Bet that's got to make life a pain sometimes. Wouldn't you like to be like me? Able to freely shift your limbs just in the right places. Who's got to be worried about being too tall when you can make yourself a snake.”

Some of the discs moved towards the smaller head. Lengthening its neck length while also giving it a tail without moving it. The whole contraption slithering comedically before it started to move back to the previous positions.

“Then again, it's not like you can freely change your shape like me. You have an interesting design nonetheless. Nothing wrong with it. Just unfamiliar to me.”

“yes… if I could inquire. What is your design's desire?”

“Why wouldn't ya- Oh right you're not from here. Ya ever heard of mangle? And I don't mean no Toy glam-rock foxy. I'm talking about good old toy foxy. The one that got ripped apart and renamed mangle. If you know who they are, The rest shouldn't be that hard to conclude.”

“I've heard of the name yes. But it seems like something the company would detest.”

“Ha. Perhaps. But mangle was the star show of the kids corner. It was a whole new thing that she could come apart Willie nilly. So the company just decided to make that kid safe. None of my metal is pointy, and snapping off my limbs won't cause me any harm.”

“But your bones are made of metal. All of it exposed. A tasty treat to me, but a danger exposed.”

“Don't worry about me smashing a kid. Casing isn't exactly the softest thing to be hit by anyways. I got control of me motors. Although what's with you calling me a tasty treat. You like what you see.”

Krimple widened their arms and leaned back dramatically. Attempting to show off the most of their exoskeleton. The site made Blue Moon cringe. But not because they found it appealing. It was because it was far to appealing as a meal. Shaking their head in firm denial.

“Ohhhh. You meaning that more literally aren't ya. Well trust me I got a couple of metal pieces to spare. It's not like I'm exactly keeping this whole body together.”

Crimple exaggeratedly disconnected all their discs. Their parts falling about in an uncoordinated fashion. it really looked like they were a tower of blocks that had fallen over. Although their pieces were still functional. They're Jaws opening wide in a smile. What hands had landed upright splayed their fingers. Even the feet wiggled their toes.

Not saying they do anything but Do people not realize that there are ppl in the må fandom who grew up in areas of high drug use and ppl in the fandom who grew up with family members/friends who used drugs? And overall grew up either struggling or watching someone/community struggle with addiction And thus our perception of these kinda things are warped?

Some ppl see a table full of beer bottles and think party others think of childhood trauma

Some ppl see certain behavior and think "oh lol so energetic what good performance" others think back to trauma

There's a reason the saying "No one lies like an addict" exists

There's a reason certain ppl are worried bc for some it's not just an annoying rumor it's a reminder of whatever someone's trying to forget

Think of it like this using a very niche example:

Many genuinely good foster homes are given the advice of not getting white towels and with good reason, normal ppl see a closet full of white towels and think "hotel, vacation, fun, relaxation" a foster kid who may have been ab_sed or tr_ff_ked or has been thru other types of hell will see a closet full of white towels and think back to horrific trauma that happened in hotels

some of us have been through shit that change our perception of the world and when we see shit normal ppl see we panic bc for us it's not nothing it's a reminder of something we try to forget so yea sorry some of us are getting worried about the band and alcoholism and drug use and etc

Sorry that there's those of us who didn't grow in a way that we can't just see those beer bottles and weed smoking and potential substances and certain behaviors as just silly-rockstar-on-the-road-they're-fine-and-healthy-fun

To y'all it's a nuisance to someone else it's a fucking trigger of bad memories

Stop acting as if everyone grew up the same way

Sorry if it's long I just have strong opinions

I’m turning off my anons because I can’t constructively respond to “well it’s not that bad” people. God forbid hypervigilance when it comes to substance abuse. I just can’t fathom taking time to make sure we’re not too worried about the prolific, tragic relationship between rock n roll and substance abuse. If I close one eye and turn my head sideways I can see how some of it doesn’t come from a bad place but I’ve realized that it feels like that sadistic devils advocate who will defend genocide “for arguments sake.”

I’d decided to actually share what I see when I look at that photo

Something you didn’t know about Eden is I’ve watched somebody die from their alcoholism. I’ve moved out and given my room to them. I’ve watched the chemo not work. Im sure some of you know about the emaciation, temperamental feeding tube, incontinence, spit up, pain. I’ve packed hospital bags and a hospice bag. I was the last person to speak to my my aunt. I was the person to go through her belongings because no one else could bare it. Finally my dad had to use pet cleaner to get the smell of urine out of my/her room. And that is miles from the end of addiction issues in my family.

My point was that this depiction of rock n roll life style is tired and it’s cheap and Måneskin used to be above it. I’m floored that’s controversial.

Is Capital still blacklisting Louis? As long as that's the case, what's the point of a promo campaign without performances? He's not a big enough celebrity that anyone outside fans wants to watch his interviews. And if you listen to them - they're just not going to entice anyone in. Fans, fans, fans. That's pretty boyband-y. And all these years giving interviews yet he's never really prepared an anecdote?? That's pretty basic for chat shows. How does he think SJ is going a good job??? And it's not just the English ones where the F mentions are tossed around - there was that Dutch one and the Italian one. Was SJ involved in those? I don't actually believe that the Dutch interviewer would have asked so much about the kid if he wasn't invited to. Like when we found out the radio stations in 2016 were encouraged to ask personal questions and we got stories about explosive diarrhea diaper changing and so on.

I still wonder at him not performing at BBC The One Show. From Manchester Evening News: The One Show viewers were left slightly baffled as Louis Tomlinson made a very laid back appearance on the programme. Though the interview was fine? Then again, why not couple it with a performance as with Walls. Were there any performances booked for UK? What a fucking time for the Queen to die :|

As far as I have seen Capital is not playing Louis—though they will write ten tabloid articles about him a month. TodayFM from Ireland didn’t play his song in full either—there is blacklisting and there is also probably years of learned… disrespect? But where was BMG?

It seemed a given that while Louis might no longer be under Sony, Sony would continue to have power over him. I never expected BMG to be able to work miracles, but considering years of artistic erasure to overcome and the time they had to prepare, I did hope for a re-launch to mean more and better promo than in the past. For the likes of NME and Official Charts features, and fun content like LADBible, to be the baseline, not the highest point of it. But it all seems, in essence, more or less the same. It’s good to see BTM's getting played on radio in US, but you still need positive associations and to maintain interest—let’s see what’s in store there.

I think Louis is very engaging in interviews, actually, thoughtful and articulate, showing his intelligence and his passion for music. And he gives good answers to any sort of question, like: “I wish it was less cliche, but I’ve always wanted to skydive. I planned to do it this year, but it didn't work out, for one reason or another. But that’s definitely on my bucket list. I suppose it’s like general advice, just good to be out of your comfort zone with things like that [and] that’s like the epitome of that idea.” But he needs to be given the chance with new and interesting talking points too. It’s so frustrating because he has so much to talk about. And he's funny as well, so he would do well with more fun content too.

I believe Louis genuinely cares about his fans, and even if it were advisable—and I don’t think it is—he wouldn’t turn his back on his loyal fanbase for anything. While in some aspects his fanbase as a whole will always be a double edged sword, arguably, maintaining ‘boy band’ levels of fan dedication and intensity all on his own could also be shown as a positive. Mainly I do worry about the sense of indebtedness Louis might have with fans, how much he feels the need to include and highlight us.

I do not believe anyone can think SJPR does a good job—the headline from The Sun when Louis released his MY mv was about how he ‘dances on tables and drinks’ a year from his mother’s death. Whatever you think about his sexuality or closet, the way his personal losses have been tabloid fodder for years should make every single fan hate SJPR. [But yes, it’s not like it's ever been limited to the UK.]

It’s been a week since release, and whatever you believe about his personal life, I would think comparing to previous promo, BMG has been… at least underwhelming. There have always been some good interviews and fun content, but it should all be good, and every opportunity and momentum maximized—bit weird to have his IG inactive a whole week after release and end of tour? Everything should be contributing toward the same goal: making Louis known as a credible [solo] artist—the last thing Louis needs is to be tied to 1D and to update people on his personal life; that has literally been one of the issues he’s faced ever since 1D [that powerpoint that had him defined by his ‘model girlfriend’]—creating interest and opportunities for his music to be heard. And it doesn’t feel like it.

Had to take over part of Angie's shift, today. She was supposed to clock out around 2, but I was called in a little after noon, because I guess there was some kind of incident. I don't know the details about what happened, but Angie's husband is taking her to see a doctor. She sustained injuries from something, again, I don't know what or how badly she was hurt, but in any case, I hope she's ok, and that the injuries weren't anything super bad.

Aside from that, things have been somewhat ok-ish around here. We had to stop doing naptime, because more and more kids were having nightmares and refusing to sleep. There have even been a couple of them that woke up and started crying because they couldn't move, too. A letter was sent out to all of the parents to explain the situation as best as possible, and for the most part, they seemed understanding. There were a couple Karens who wanted to argue with us for not allowing their kids to rest, but we told them that it was either the kids stay awake, or the kids sleep and have horrible, potentially traumatizing nightmares. In the end, even they reluctantly agreed with what we chose to do.

Everything's been fine with the animatronics, minus Lunar, because Sonnie told me that this new no-naptime scenario is driving him crazy. Given that he's the former naptime attendant, I suppose I could understand why. Sonnie herself has been doing well, aside from the usual twitches that happen every so often. Fresh is his normal chaotic self, and he still likes following Sonnie around and staring off into space, but for the most part, he's harmless. We received word that Cosette may be joining us very soon, which.... Is great, and I'm sure she's really excited, but I think we might have one robot too many. I can't imagine what it'll be like when Hue gets all fixed up and ends up coming here, too.

Hue won't be able to be left alone with Fresh, so we'd have to figure some things out there. Sonnie and Lunar are both displaying an almost aggressive level of protectiveness over Cosette now, and both of them are extremely adamant about her not being alone with Fresh, so that's something else to work out the details for. I half expected this fiercely protective mama bear attitude from Lunar, but... I didn't think Sonnie would gain that attitude, as well. There are maybe two or three people that she's ok with letting perform maintenance duties on Cosette, but if someone else wants to do it, she insists on staying to watch every minute of what they're doing.

It's... Weird and mildly unnerving at times, if I'm being honest, but at the very least, I'm happy that her and Lunar want to look after Cosette. The little mime's a handful, even according to her records, so the more people we have keeping an eye on her, the better.

nonsexual things that make them melt, calming down when they're angry, having kids, good with kids, and dirty jokes questions for peter maybe :0

Soft Sunday meme

aaaaaa I love my small angry chihuahua man <3

Non-sexual thing that always makes the muse melt?

People often assume that Peter is just a sexual kind of person, meaning there’s not much else that can get to him, but… the truth is, that’s at least as much overcompensating as it is genuine feelings. He will get very weak if his S/O holds him close, without any ulterior motive. Even though he’s perfectly fine and willing to have sex most of the time, cuddling or being held without sex is almost like a shock to him. Do they really not need or want sex to be happy with him? That’s the only way he can keep them happy, isn’t it, because there’s nothing else about him they’d want? His mind takes him to bad places sometimes, convinced that sex is… the only reason anyone would stay with him. That if he or they don’t want it any particular night, they’ll get bored of him. To be held gently, having his S/O not want anything but his body beside them, it’s a much-needed reminder. They chose him. They want him. All of him, not just momentary pleasure. That someone wants to lie next to him at night, that they keep choosing him, makes him fall apart in a way he desperately needs to fall apart.

What’s the best way to calm down your muse when they’re angry?

Is it even possible to calm him down when he’s pissed…? Angry is pretty much his default state of being, unfortunately. The best his partner can hope for is that his anger is at a low buzz instead of a deafening roar on any given day. Though he might eventually get better with this, he really is just someone who’s prone to anger issues. What usually works most effectively when he starts to get angry enough that he might start yelling or threatening is a gentle touch somewhere. A hand on his shoulder is typically the gesture to go to. Something about it brings him back to the moment and reminds him to think about whether his anger is proportionate and necessary. Most of the time, if his S/O gives him that hand on the shoulder, he slowly deflates and turns toward them, and away from the object of his ire, hopefully prepared to ignore things from there on out.

Does your muse want to have kids? If so, how many and what’s the reasoning behind the number?

He’s not… sure he wants children of his own. For one thing, given whatever medical condition he and his sister have, he’s not even for sure that he’s capable of having biological children. To put it mildly, he’d be awfully surprised if he ended up getting someone pregnant. As for adopting or anything like that… he really just doesn’t know. It’s not something he’s thought much about, so, he’d have to give it more thought if it was ever seriously a possibility. If he decided he might want children, and if his S/O did as well, he’d… prefer to start with one. He’s not for certain that he could keep a plant alive, much less a human being, so until he knows how he’d do with one, he doesn’t want to think about more than that.

Is your muse good with kids? What ages?

On that note, he’s not the best with kids unless he’s performing. Being that he’s spent most of his life being mistaken for a child even once he was an adult, it’s left him with something of a bitterness toward children. He knows it’s not the fault of any children, so he does his best not to let it show when he’s interacting with kids. Although he likes being able to talk to children, and hold them or such for a short time, he doesn’t really think he’s good with them even outside of his bitterness. He swears frequently, he’s physically not strong so he can’t control them if they try to run off or something, and also… well… no way to sugarcoat it, most children think he’s another child, meaning he has exactly zero authority with kids. Still, he’s not bad for short bursts!

Do dirty jokes go over their head, or are they the one making the dirty jokes?

Oh, he is definitely the one telling the dirty jokes! Not only does he overcompensate, the man is filthy, even when it comes to his taste in humor. He wouldn’t repeat these things in polite company since he still has some manners, but he’s got an arsenal of jokes that would make everyone in a room blush should he tell them to an audience. There’s a particular one he tells whose punchline is Prop-a-gate, and he’s practically in stitches before he even gets to the end of it every single time.

i'm gonna bitch about 3reload just to get it out somewhere instead of swimming around my brain. i hope to be proven wrong once i get to actually devote more time to it in a few weeks but there's some things that i'll never be happy about lol

the 5ification of the game really bothers me, and it feels like style over substance but still lacking soul. I'm of a firm belief that what works for one game doesn't work for another, and the heavy stylization and graphical nature of 5 doesn't work for 3 imo

like wow yeah the menus are fluid (literally) and there's some super stylized design going on, but how does such design serve the game? the jagged edges, graphic art stylization and asymmetry worked for 5 because it was reminiscent of a ransom note and comic books. the same design points are in 3 because....? the water is here because....? sea of souls? because it's blue? it feels like everyone lost their minds over the ~style~ of 5 and so they decided to do it again

the element icons are atrocious and so difficult to understand at a glance, the exclamation to mark weaknesses is a poor choice. the one thing they really should have copied from 5 is the one they didn't.

the portrait redesigns also got hit. junpei is pale as hell, like they forgot to give the oranges and pinks and yellows of a living person to parts of his face. The Same Face is popping up, Yukari looks like Generic Cute Girl with the same face as nearly all the girls in 5. The expressions are softened, too, her original angry portrait showed disdain but now it's just kinda frustrated. i don't care for the stretched skeleton models, but that was a complaint i had for 5 as well.

voices are a personal thing and some people really like them or hate them. i think the ENG direction for aki and yukari wasn't great, they're both very chipper when their previous directions were a calm veneer just barely hiding intensity, and annoyance constantly peeking out from a stepford smile all the while hiding a deep resentment. these are things that are picked up within moments of meeting these characters in the original, we immediately get the realization of "oh these kids are more fucked up than i thought". they've both lost their edge with the new direction, and personally i don't like smooth voice akihiko but that's a me thing. junpei is great, the VA had a huge amount of pressure on him to perform and i think he's the best in the cast, keeping a similar tone of voice but with his own spin. mitsuru is fine. i think clarke only has like 3 voices so i don't hear the character so much as i hear her - this was an issue i've had in other games too. i have not yet heard shinji, but given the choices made for aki i'm not holding my breath. i'm especially worried about ken.

and the music. the music got hit hard with the 5ification stick. it's lost the grime and funk, why can't i feel the percussion and bass in my stomach anymore? the lady singer sounds like she's too embarrassed to actually get into the song, the pronunciation of 'baby' is jarring every time, they changed the dorm theme for some reason??? they added a new song for getting the drop on shadows? for that particular complaint they were stuck between a rock and a hard place, though; if they used Wiping All Out it would just (rightfully) piss off the FemC fans even more, so now they have to use a (imo) bland song instead.

i'm not even getting into the FemC thing. she deserves more, though.

idk maybe i'll like aigis this time

#p3r complaining #p3 tag

[innestahtinen]

it's been a while since things about a movie, probably, i don't remember, and i'm not going reading through old posts. last year I watched all three Channel Awesome anniversary movies, and despite them being bad, i have been thinking about them, mainly it's in the third one, how they continued the running thing of not seeing Todd's face by making him Robocop. and they're in my movies yt playlist, so I'm doing it again.

Kickassia (2010):

last year, i gave it a 1.5/5.

i hadn't noticed it, but i think Lindsay Ellis is doing a Sarah Palin impression, but an impression of Tina Fey doing Sarah Palin; the whole 'I can see Russia from my house' thing.

'but Mars Girl is a woman' "sure she is, and I'm the tooth fairy' what? [ok, so this bit's from after I finished, and i was going to come back and say something about not knowing who wrote it, so I can't pin it on singularly that person, but then I remembered that this movie has opening credits, and Doug Walker volunteers himself. so I correct this] Hey Doug, what?

this movie shits on Jimmy Carter as a politician, the guy who warned about how the US needed renewable energy in the 70s, then the Reagan and Bush Sr. administrations said no.

i used to watch nostalgia critic for about a year in 2019, so i don't know who most of these people are, the only one i recognise is Linkara, so they're trying to do dramatic scenes with character stuff, but it means nothing currently.

'we heard gunshots!' "did they come from a gun" - unfortunately, that is the exact kind of stupid comedy i like.

unfortunately, that single point is counteracted by a line 3 minutes later; 'I feel like a puppy that got raped by a bulldozer' not really one for rape jokes.

is this a cutaway gag, but one that's the instructions for risk?

cameos work so well, especially when you don't know the people, but i've said that already.

there was a scene that really reminded me of the classic: 'but i didn't even get her email address' from Spy Kids 3D. for better or worse, given I haven't seen that movie either.

previously it was a 1.5 because it was just dull. and it's still 1.5/5

Suburban Knights (2011):

previously, this was a 2.5/5. it was more interesting, but still not good

ha ha, referring to character in one property by the name of a character from another property played by the same person, ha

i'm going to guess that Doug wrote this one too, in which case; What's his issue with Jimmy Carter, he seems like a nice guy. the guy from inside a book, from the 80s went; 'did we ever have a president worse than Carter?' but i guess that makes more sense, Reagan administration shitting on his legacy, making him look hapless, and all.

I've got less to say, the plot's more interesting, the acting's the same, but it's intended to be a fantasy not a drama, so it can work.

it's probably satisfying for the people who left Channel Awesome to see Doug lose twice in two movies.

To Boldly Flee (2012):

this was a 2/5, there's plot, it just relies even more heavily on knowledge from their videos.

I'm watching this three days later, had work so i couldn't watch it the next day. instead i watched Fantasia 2000 and The First Avenger, both much better movies than this.

there's a joke about 'Spoony' being attracted to his sister, which is kinda distasteful to begin with, but then i thought i remembered that he was the contributer who had a mental breakdown, looked it up, and he tweeted about having sex with someone, and people took it as being that he would rape her. i haven't seen the tweet, so I'm not sure. even so, jesus christ mate.

acting, emotions, the characters are seeing one of their friends maybe die, but they're blank, masterful, the layers of their performances, etc. etc.

poo jokes and penis jokes, sick. I'm not against a good penis jokes, and good thing too, because this one is... fine.

'zombies, dressed in confederate uniforms, fighting women in bikinis' does sounds like a B-movie that I'd hear about, go 'ergh, seriously?' and then never think about again, so i guess they get a point, good job Bradikan.

if any of the idea for the aftermath of the email-writing scene came from the people on-screen, then it's still concerning, but if Lindsay Ellis wanted to dress as Seven of Nine, sure, whatever. if it came from Doug, which it most likely did, what the fuck.

I don't know who she is, but the woman who got 'mind-altered' was pretty good.

not entirely sure what the death star parody is meant to be, it looks like a curling stone to me, but for the life of me i can't remember a scene where it was referenced.

i don't think that's the guy who played Ma-Ti.

'... I'm British, our only contributions to culture is comedic cross-dressing and spotted dick' - "FilmBrain", 2012.

turns out i'm an idiot, the death star is a bomb.

'you've got to point out the things that don't make sense' you mean what they were already doing, isn't that the bread-and-butter of this MCN, finding the small issues, and making references to other media and jokes out of them, then surely it shouldnt' expand any more, because they'll have already said it, and put it out into more public consciousness.

i bet the "that was a good crossover" 'this was too' was added in later in production, when they were getting to the end of the one week of filming.

it's still a 2/5.

if Dominic Noble was in them, it probably wouldn't have made them better movies, but i like the guy so it may have helped my enjoyment of them at least.

Can I request Nari fluff?.

Nari Fluff Headcannons 🍃

Nari is baby and I would die for them!!! Here's some Nari NewYork sheingians

Nari has never been so close to the human world. They have observed humans from afar and tried to understand them but you are a complicated race with thoughts and emotions Nari doesn't always understand. Your world and the way it works is just so different from Nari's.

When Nari decides to leave the Order and begins to travel with Archie, Douxie, and you they are excited to see humans up close and understand more about them and their different cultures. Even though New York is mostly concrete and unlike anything their used to Nari has fun on this adventure.

They carry around their plant to still feel a connection to nature. Though they're amazed at how much nature is in NewYork. Garden boxes litter windows, trees grow in some side walks, plants hang from lamp posts or grow in buildings, grass and flowers are in every crack of concrete if you look closely. There's also community gardens and markets which fascinate Nari. The city is bustling with greenery and life if you just look for it.

However Nari'a favorite thing in NewYork of course is Central Park. It's fascinating to them that in the middle of a manmade concrete jungle is a man made forest. They enjoy all the activities in the park and love going on swan boat rides or playing games in the grass. Lots of lunches and picnics are held in Central Park because Nari enjoys it so much. They enjoy getting hotdogs or other food from vendors and seeing how people interact with the park. People watching becomes one of Nari's favorite activities.

If your not having a picnic, playing games, or people watching at Central Park Nari likes to sit on a bench humming. They throw out food and watch the ducks and birds that come up to them. Archie isn't a fan but he hides in Douxies jacket so it's fine. Nari peels grapes and throws grains they grow to feed the birds as bread isn't good for them. You and Douxie will watch Nari as Nari tells you all about the different birds and animals as they come up to eat. You meet some nice old ladies and young kids on these days as all the birds and various critters can sometimes draw a crowd.

Nari is absolutely enamoured with the street performers and street artists in New Yorks Time Square. Nari hears Douxie play something every night and hears you sing in the shower occasionally but there's so many types of performances and so many different humans it amazes Nari every time you go through there. They beg to give money to everyone because their just so passionate about their art and deserve something. You and Doux loose way to many loose dollar bills but Nari's smile as they clap and dance cheering on the performer is worth it. Not to mention you and Douxie understand the struggle of making it as an artist. (Nari also leaves every performer a boquet with the money. Nari learned humans like roses after a performance and has given flowers to people they like ever since)

While walking past an icecrean parlor Nari looks confused. They point and ask what it is as they don't understand the picture displayed in the window. You and Douxie are shocked that Nari has never had ice cream. You both decide to fix this problem. Immediately!!!

Nari as a demigod can eat as much as they please. They end up with a huge Sunday to themselves while you and Douxie get a single scoop cone with Archie eating vanilla bean out of a cup. Nari falls in love with the flavors and sweetness of ice cream. Her favorite being mint chocolate chip because it reminds them of the forest and bubblegum blue because it reminds them of Douxie. They end up liking your favorite kind as well and it becomes a ritual to get ice cream from an ice cream parlor at least once a week (if not more).

Sight seeing in NewYork is crazy. When you take Nari to the Statue of Liberty they love it! They find the green lady fun and love hearing all about her history and why she's so important to NewYork and the United States. You turn away to take a picture and have to stop Nari from giving the statue a giant flower crown so that was interesting.

You and Douxie just had to see a show on Broadway while in New York and Nari was entralled. Douxie had showed Nari many types of music and she'd seen the performers in the streets but nothing like this!!! As Archie pokes his head our of your bag (had to sneak him in somehow) Nari gets up and begins clapping even if the show hasn't started as the sets so beautiful. You and Douxie with big grins on your faces have to shush her and tell Nari when to clap. The show was fantastic and Nari couldn't stop singing the songs for days. They also get a t-shirt and tote bag they love and refuse to go anywhere without.

Another day while getting some groceries Nari saw a few stands outside and pulled on you asking about it. You finish your purchase with Doxuie and walk out to see a Saturday market set up. Nari asks to wander around and you follow her explaining what different types of jewelry, clothes, furniture, food, and candy were. Nari gets a shiny sounvineer they love and you and Douxie walk home with some handmade licorice. Naris not a huge fan but they like how it turns their tongue black.

You explore a lot of new places and take Nari to see everything. The MET (Metroplian Museum of Art) was crazy. Nari wanted to see everything and wandered away from the tour whenever a painting or sculpture caught her eye made it way more intresting. She almost touched a painting but thankfully you stopped her. By the time you had seen the entire museum and gone to the gift shop Nari got a million Nick nacks that they know carry in a backpack with all the other stuff they love.

Douxies choice to visit was Radio Citys Music Hall. He loved exploring the theater and mumbled something about performing there a long time ago and how he'd do it again someday. When you grabbed his hand promising he would he chuckled adjusting his guitar strap. He could feel all the greats and although Nari didn't get it she was happy to see him happy.

Archie choses to go to a large historic library he hadn't visited in years and enjoyed wandering around. He says it reminds him of the bookstore at home and although you had to stuff him into your backpack (again) to get him inside he didn't mind too much. You ended up finding a good story and copied the book to read to Nari later.

There's plenty to do in NewYork and your days are spent wandering the Big Apple and answering all of Nari's questions. All in all traveling through New York is great. You, Douxie, Archie, and Nari have an amazing time with all the vendors and sightseeing. Even if you know it can't last forever your glad to have the time together that you have now.

Tomura Shigaraki x AllMight!Daughter!Reader

Chapter 10

Premis:

When The League of Villains discovers that AllMight has a daughter, they are quick to snatch you up and hold you hostage. Shigaraki had a careful and thought out plan, but that was before you got there. Now you’re in the mood for some not-so-healthy rebellion.

A/N:

I hope you guys like this chapter! If you wanna support me further and hang out, check out my Patreon for more of my content and my discord!

Warnings: Minor violence

Chapter 9 Chapter 11

Loud announcement after loud announcement blasted from the speakers as the police spoke. Repeating the same few sentences over and over again. His stomach turned as anxiety took hold of him. Izuku Midoriya stood nearly a block away from the scene as he watched. He and Bakugou were given orders to sit on the perimeter and wait in case they were needed. Having experienced The League before, their assistance was helpful. But everyone was hoping it wouldn't be needed. For now, everyone's top priority was you. Bakugou huffed in frustration, folding his arms across his chest as he watched.

"I don't get it. We should just round them up while we still can. If we don't act fast, they'll slip out of our hands again." He growled.

"Arrest isn't our top priority right now. The hostage's safety is. We can't risk any harm coming to her. You know that." Midoriya answered. The blonde scoffed and spoke again after a long pause.

"I still can't believe it."

"Believe what?"

"That he has a daughter. You'd think he would have mentioned something like that by now. After all these years. Especially one with such a strong quirk."

"Yeah...I don't have kids of my own so, I don't know much about that but...It's odd isn't it? That he never mentioned her. Not even to us." Bakugou thought for a moment.

"Maybe it was the mom. Maybe she kept it that way. We don't know much about her."

"No...that doesn't sit right. Her mom seems intense, sure. But that's his daughter. I don't know about you, but if I had a kid like her, I wouldn't be able to stop talking about her. So, it doesn't make sense why someone like him..."

"They were young, right? About our age?"

"That's right."

"Think about it. If you and Ururaka got pregnant right now, what do you think would happen?"

"Thats different, she's a hero too-"

"No. Really. Think about it. If she told you tomorrow you were gonna have a kid, how would you feel?" Midorya thought for a moment.

"Scared, I guess."

"Would you slow down your hero work? After everything you've done, all the work you've put into this. Would you risk it all to be a proper father? And what about her? Would Ururaka be okay putting her life on hold for that kid? I doubt it."

"I see what you're saying. But that still doesn't explain why we're just finding out about her now."

"I'm sure he was just trying to protect her from shit like this happening. It's clear he still cares for her. It was probably his was of keeping her safe. As messed up as that is."

"I studied All Might my entire life. Became his successor and student. And still...I feel like I never really knew him until now."

"Mh."

"You're still my most valuable player. You're staying right here." Shigaraki's voice purred as his grip tightened around your arm. Pulling you closer to him. You felt your blood quickly rush up to your cheeks. The hot feeling coursing through your veins. You heard the loud squeak of a chair shifting across the floor. Your quirk unwittingly being activated. He ignored the sound, his deep red eyes glaring into yours as his scarred brow bone curved over them in a tight scowl. His eyes, so brilliant and full of passion. You were lost in them. Time always seemed to stop when he did this.

"Boss! We gotta get out of here! We can't fight them all!" Spinner shouted, tearing those eyes away from you. How long had he been starring at you? Was he just as lost as you? You were doubtful. If he was lost in anything, it was probably his rage. His grip on you loosened, slowly dropping your arm almost like he was reluctant to.

"The truck. Is the truck ready?"

"Yes, but I doubt we can get out of here without being caught."

"Of course not. That's why we'll need a distraction. Until then we need time. Toga, the phone, quick." She jumped at the command. Grabbing a smartphone of hers and quickly adjusting it to film. Shigaraki's hands quickly found your body again. But they weren't nearly as harsh as last time, just firm. Man handling you to appear threatening. One hand coming around your neck from behind to display his fingers, and the other around your arm. He pressed you against his body.

"Filming!" Toga shouted.

"You heroes should know better than to just barge into such a delicate situation. The conditions are simple. Make one wrong move, and the girl is dust. I'll even leave her in a pretty little urn for you, hehehe, All Might."

"Cut! Edit and send to the heroes right?"

"And social media, anything to get it on the news. Dabi, Twice, is there a way for you to contact our friends on the outside?"

"But boss! They have us tapped! They'll be prepare for our escape!" Twice shouted.

"They've planned for it already. We've lost the element of surprise. We need results."

"Shigaraki?" You croaked.

"What!?" He shouted in your ear. You winced, holding your free had up to tap at his wrist around your neck.

"Could you, loosen up a bit?" He swiftly pulled his hands away from you. Watching you gently cough and regain your breath.

"We're not, really going to kill her, are we?" Toga pulled her attention away from her phone and shuffled closer to you. Turning to be in-between you and Shigaraki, almost to protect you from being grabbed again.

"No. Not if we plan to get out of here." He and turned sat down on the couch, his hands coming up to rub against his sore neck. Toga patted your back.

"You alright there? You're burning up. You're not sick are you?"

"No...No Im fine."

"You sure?"

"I'm fine. Thank you, Toga." It made her smile to hear you say that.

"Don't worry. Tomura's smart. He'll get us out safe, you'll see." You smiled back at her.

"I'm sure. But somehow I doubt I'll see you again. So, if this is goodbye-"

"Don't say that!" Toga shouted. "We're gonna stick together. Remember? I promised you I wouldn't let anyone hurt you!" You starred at her with wide eyes as your heart raced in your chest. A loud flutter.

"But, Toga."

"But nothing, friends stick together, right?" You nodded. "Then that settles it! We're taking her with us, aren't we guys?" Confused faces looked up at the two of you. "Well?"

"Uh- Sure." Spinner shrugged.

"Hell No - Alright!" Twice shouted.

"Heh, alright." Dabi chuckled.

"Tomura?" Toga called the absent-minded man.

"Huh?"

"We're taking her with us, right? She's one of us now!" Toga reached for your hand and curled her fingers between yours. Shigaraki looked up at her, his eyes lost in thought. "Tomura!" She scolded him like a little sister. He blinked a few times, shaking his attention to you.

"Are you, Y/L/N? Are you one of us?" You froze for a moment. No. Of course not. You're not a villain. You're not like these people! You're a heroes' kid! You're not evil! You're a good person!

You opened your mouth to speak, an overwhelming cacophony of thoughts keeping you from answering. For the first time in your entire life, you had been cared for in a way you never had before. No longer reliant on a bottle of pills to function properly. No longer forced to be productive. No pressure to be anything special. You could grow here. You could be yourself here. The room buzzed with energy at the activation of your quirk. Your emotional state boiling to a head, you opened your mouth to answer but before you could speak-

The building began to shake underneath you. You were thrown to the floor, eyes darting everywhere in search for the cause. The sound of explosions blasted above you, while what sounded like a bulldozer echoed below.

"Damn it! They're coming from both ends!" Dabi announced, gaining his balance to perform a ready stance before his blue flames emerged.

"C'mon Shigaraki! What do we do!" Twice shouted as he clung onto the man's forearm. The rest of you inching closer and closer to each other.

The blasts above became louder and louder until it became evident it was right above. Your stomach turned as you came to the realization. Before the order left his lips you had reached for a table across the room and brought it up above your small group for protection.

"Y/L/N!" Just in time for it to deflect the shrapnel of drywall that burst from the explosion above. Suddenly the floor below gave way, sending the six of you falling through the open air. There were supposed to be several floor to the building, but thanks to the hero, Deku, flimsy walls of the already rotting building had been quickly demolished within seconds.

You watched yourself fall, your hand desperately reaching for anything to hold on to. Failing and plummeting down with the rest of them. You watched as the DynaMight emerged from the smoke above to watch you with a satisfied grin plastered over his face.

The cries of the others behind you filled your ears. Why wasn't this hero doing something? Why wasn't he jumping to catch you? To catch the others? Is going to let you fall to your deaths? You can't let him do that! Quick- Quick- your quirk- catch them!

After a few attempts at activation in your panic, you were able to catch the others in the air. Just before their bodies hit the concrete of the building basement. Dropping them down from a safe few feet. The fall was uncomfortable, but a relief to you and the others that you could work so quickly.

But your success was short-lived as the building trembled and quaked with another explosion. You looked up just in time to watch what was left of the old hide out to come crashing down around you. Leaving you trapped in the basement, in complete darkness.

"THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" A familiar shriek echoed in Bakugou and Midoriya's ear pieces. They both jolted at the painful intrusion. Your mother, having just stolen a police walky talky huffed on the other end.

"Our apologies ma'am but they're fine. I saw it with my own eyes. They're just trapped under debris. Everything is going according to plan." Midoriya reassured.

"Ac- ACCORDING TO PLAN!? You mean to tell me, young man, that you intended to trap my daughter in with her KIDNAPPERS, WHO THREATENED TO KILL HER!?" She spat, understandably.

"If they wanted her dead by now, she would be. Shigaraki doesn't play games unless it's necessary. Trust me." Bakugou barked.

"So now what? We just wait until this psychopath decays his way loose?"

[Part 1] [Part 2] [Part 3]

A snake could be seen inside of Tetsurou's bag, though nobody looked hard enough to notice it.

Prince Tetsurou was allowed to travel alongside (y/n) and Shoyo, who had each been given a horse to help with their travels.

Tetsurou decided to pick up conversation. "So... Travelling with an elf. Your boyfriend couldn't make it?"

"Nope. Mostly because I don't have one." they answered.

"Oh? I would've thought for sure you had one." He grinned.

Rolling their eyes (y/n) asked him a question. "What about you? Your girlfriend okay with you leaving her alone?"

He glanced to the side and coughed. "I uh, don't have one."

"Oh?"

"I have many."

(y/n) started at him blankly as if their brain was still lagging from that. Tetsurou snorted at the look. "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. You shouldn't believe everything you read in a magazine."

As they chatted the moment was interrupted by a loud "Excuse me!" coming from Shoyo. They both glanced back at him and he rides his horse up to the two.

"Excuse me, Prince Tetsurou. Permission to speak?" He looked up.

"Sure, go for it."

"Well... it's a weird coincidence but I was going to the Royal Palace to discuss a few... career options that I-" The elf was cut off from his rambling.

"Shoyo wants to petition the kingdom so that he can become an Athlete." (y/n) told him.

The prince seemed comtemplative but ultimately advised Shoyo to speak to his uncle about it. (y/n) stopped talking to him after that and they eventually came across giants working in the fields. One of them stood up to take a break, only to be whipped and forced to continue working.

Tetsurou stared at the sight in absolute shock. His eyes wide open. "The... The giants have always been gentle. Why are they being treated like slaves? I'm... I'm sure my uncle doesn't know about this. There's no way."

They continue on their way to the wedding. Upon entering they're instantly greeted with loud music and dancing. The giants seemed to be having a great time.

"I hope they don't get to upset with me here, I know they must hate the Royal Family." Tetsurou looked around.

"Nah, They'd respect you having the balls to show up here. Plus, they don't hold grudges... They're bigger than that." They grinned at the sound Tetsu made once he realized the joke.

A giant noticed them. "Prince Tetsurou, what are you doing here?"

"I came to have a little chat, but I think I'll come back when there's been less drinki- OW." He got cut off by an elbow jabbing his side.

"He's here as a friend to hear your complaints." (y/n) told the giant. She nodded and smiled.

"Well then, welcome."

Before anything else, (y/n) asked for Satori and was pointed in his direction. They thanked the giant and rushed off, leaving Tetsurou and Shoyo behind.

They rushed over and asked around, only to be told that He'd left over an hour ago. They had no helpful information to give, So they turned to Ryuu. "Ryunosuke, can you show me Satori?"

The book opened up and he spoke. "Yeah he's getting an FWI. Flying while Intoxicated."

----⭐----

"I had no idea things were so bad. I promise the first thing I do after coronation is help you buy your farms back." Tetsurou told the giant.

"I'll hold you to that."

(y/n) hesitantly stepped in. "Excuse me, sorry if I'm interrupting."

"No problem, we were done," the giant told them. "That's a fine young man you have there."

Almost immediately (y/n) began denying and rambling before giving up. They turned to Tetsu and spoke. "Have you seen Shoyo? We need to leave, My fairy godfather isn't here."

"Leave? But it's the middle of the night, you have to at least stay for the party."

With a sigh, they reluctantly agreed. Tetsu furrowed his eyebrows. "You don't... have to stay. I don't wanna force you to do something you don't want to do." He spoke gently.

A small smile appeared on their lips. "Thank you, Tetsu... For everything. So, I'll see you around?"

Before they could get far, Tetsu spoke again. "But... I wish you would stay."

Turning to face the prince they smiled a bit bigger. "I guess one more night couldn't hurt."

A few minutes later, they sat on a giant's table, explaining their situation to Tetsurou casually when he suggested something way too good to pass up.

"You could always check the hall of records? I could pull a few strings to get you in there."

A huge smile was formed. "Really? You have no idea how much that would mean to me, thank you so much, Tetsu."

----💫----

After an impromptu performance that resulted in (y/n) and Tetsurou getting closer, they sat near a fireplace and just talked. Tetsu revealed that his mother had passed away a long time ago and (y/n) revealed the same. They talked about their memories with their parents and bonded more because of it. The conversation ended up going back to politics and (y/n) spoke of how easily Tetsu could win over the kingdom's subject, no matter what species.

"Wow was that, almost a compliment? From you? I must've died." He laughs.

"Yeah yeah. Don't get a big head over it. Your stupid crown won't fit." They smiled at him.

He was silent for a moment before he spoke again. "Tomorrow. I'm going to go to my uncle and ask for the Elven restriction law to be removed. I'm going to make sure I get to watch one of shoyo's games."

They stared at him for a moment before leaning in closer. "I think you're gonna be a great king someday. Your father... He would've been proud."

"Thanks. He would've really liked you."

They sat in silence for a moment, just basking in the comfortable atmosphere before Tetsu spoke again. "Kiss me."

They leaned in even closer towards him but he paused. "That... wasn't an order." He spoke hesitantly, almost as if he were afraid. But they just smiled at him.

"I know." And with that, the gap between them closed.

----💫----

When they reached the town the next morning, Tetsurou couldn't stop stealing small glances at (y/n) that seemed to be so full of love and adoration that anyone could see how much he cared for them. They approached castle, being let in easily by the guards, but Shoyo didn't have the same luck. Being an elf, one of the guards forced him out of the castle.

The two of them walked in, hand in hand, only to instantly freeze once they realized that his fanclub was taking a tour of the castle. Tooru notice the two of them first and the gradually, everyone else did. A beat of silence passed before Tetsu booked it, dragging (y/n) with him.

They'd found an area where they were safe from the mob and were greeted by none other than Kei.

"Tetsu, I've been looking all over for you." He spoke calmly. As Tetsu prepared his answer another question arose from the shorter man beside Kei. "And who might thiss... Charming young lady be?"

"This is (y/n). (y/n), this is my uncle, Kei and this is his... Tadashi." He gestured to the man with blond hair and glasses first and then the dark haired man with freckles covering his face.

"I assume your journey went well?" Kei asked.

"We ran into a few ogres but other than that, everything was good." They responded.

Kei raised an eyebrow. "You could've been killed." He glanced towards Tetsurou. "Oh well, you just have to grin and bare it, as I say." He turned and looked towards (y/n). "Grin and bare it."

Within less than a second, they had a grin on their face. This caught both his and Tadashi's attention but they said nothing of it. Kei turned back to Tetsu. "Can I speak with you for a moment? The crown maker needs to see you for a fitting."

"Cool, well I need to take (y/n) to the Hall of records."

"Fine, hop to it then." once again, (y/n) did as they were told.

The moment the two were out of sight, Kei spoke to Tadashi. "You were right about them."

"And they've been filling the Prince'ss head with "dangerouss" ideologiess." Tadashi hissed.

----⭐----

"(y/n) has lots of interesting ideas about the kingdom. I think you should hear them." Tetsu told Kei as he stood in front of the crown maker.

"Can't wait." He faked a smile.

"Giant's working conditions are just an example, it's unbelievable how shitty they're treated. I've talked with them though, and it seems like they're open for negotiations." Tetsu said.

"The only negotiations between me and the giants will be over vegetable deliveries." His voice was cold and Tadashi laughed.

"This isn't a joke, uncle Kei." Tetsu watched the blond get closer through the mirror.

He placed his hand on his shoulder. "We'll talk about it after your coronation, yes?"

"Fine. But we will talk."

"Of course." Kei confirmed.

A moment of silence passed before Tetsu took a deep breath. "I'm going to ask them to marry me."

Kei paused in his tracks and turned to face Tetsu. "Who? This (y/n) of frell?"

"Yes. Tonight at the ball. At the same place and same time as my father when he proposed to my mother."

Kei and Tadashi looked at each other. Tadashi walked off and Kei turned to stare at Tetsu as if he'd grown a second head.

----❌----

If (y/n) was getting sold out by their step brothers for the prince's hand in marriage, then that was between those two and who ever they sold (y/n) out to.

----💫----

"I can't find him in any of these books. Ryuu, show me Satori."

The book opened at their words, flipping until it showed Satori, blacked out on a bed. No luck. Not until they took a magnifying glass to one of the pages and read a flyer in his area that pointed him out perfectly. Before they could get too excited, Kei walked in.

"I... Hope you've found everything to your satisfaction?" He approached them slowly.

"Yes, thank you."

"Good." He glanced at a book on a desk and forced it off of it. "Oh no, how clumsy of me. Pick it up." He commanded.

A yelp left them as they were forced to pick up the book that he'd thrown down. "Very good. Now touch your toes."

They did as told, only to realize what was going on with a groan. "Oh no."

"Oh yes." Kei forced them to do a multitude of things, mostly testing the waters before the big one came. "As you know, tonight is the coronation ball. At some point, Prince Tetsu will sweep you away to the Hall of mirrors. Then, just before midnight strikes, he'll take you by the hand and ask you a question."

"How do you know all of this?" They cut in.

Tadashi spoke. "We know everything."

"The one thing we know with most certainty... Is that at the stroke of midnight, you will take this dagger and plunge it through his heart and kill him." Kei told them, holding the dagger out.

As much as (y/n) tried to argue and fight the curse, they could do only do so much before it kicked it.

"It's actually rather lucky your here. That way I wont have to do it myself." Kei sat down.

Shaking, they asked. "You would kill your own nephew?"

"Well why not? I killed my own brother."

"What? Why?!"

"I want to be king."

"Now leave, but before you go... You will not tell a single soul about this plan."

-----💫-----

"Can I help you?" A fairy asked.

"Yes I'm looking for Satori Tendou, it's extremely important." (y/n) told the fairy.

"Yeah sorry, he got kicked out last week."

"Do you know where I could find him?"

"Nuh uh."

The fairy walked away leaving (y/n) to do whatever it was going to do. (y/n) took a seat a a nearby table and wrote a goodbye letter to Tetsu.

Hours later, they found Shoyo and asked him to chain them to the trunk of a dead tree outside of the city. Once it had been done, they gave him instructions. "Look. I need you to rally all the elves and giants you can find. You'll need all the help you can get. Someone needs to sneak into the castle, steal Ryunosuke back, and keep Tetsu away from Kei."

"...Why? What's going on?"

"I can't tell you. But if you don't you'll be stuck singing and dancing for the rest of your life." They scowled.

"Fine! Into the stupid forest I go." Shoyo huffed, grumbling under his breath as he walked away.

----⭐----

The ball began and Tetsu sat alone on his throne. Tadashi slithered up to Tetsurou's right side. "Where'ss your little friend?" he mused.

"Yes, She should be here by now." Kei followed.

"I don't wanna talk about it." He walked away leaving the two of them there.

He walked up to Tooru and very hesitantly asked him to dance.

----💫----

As (y/n) remained chained to the tree, a light began to glow in the sky. No less than a moment later, Satori Tendou appeared. They called out his name in desperation until he approached them.

"Hmm? Do I know you?" He tilted his head.

"(y/n) of frell, you gave me a gift?" They explained frantically.

Recognition shone in his eyes. "Ahhh yes, the obedient one."

"I'm so happy to see you, I've been look everywhere for you. I need you to take the gift back."

He narrowed his eyes. "Take it back? Nope!"

"It's not that I'm not grateful, it's just, If I keep the gift I might do something horrible to this guy that I really, really like."

"Get rid of it yourself." He told them. "Ah but I will help you out this once. I'll unchain you." Despite their begging as pleading, Satori got rid of the chains that held them against the tree.

"Y'know what? Let's change your clothes and send you off, yeah?" A poof a smoke and They were in a shimmering sliver outfit and sent to the ball.

----⭐----

As he danced with Tooru, a loud crash was heard. Tetsurou turned to see (y/n) desperately trying not to get to him.

"Tetsu, tell me you never want to see me again." Was the first thing out of their mouth to him. Immediately, he shook his head.

"Why did you write that letter? Tell me how you really feel about me."

Unable to stop their words, "I love you" came out shaky and nervous. Quickly followed by "But I... I'm wrong for you and wrong for the kingdom."

His eyes softened and he placed a hand on their cheek. "Is that what this is about? (Y/n), that's crazy. Follow me."

As soon as the words left his mouth they started panicking again but they couldn't choose not to follow him. From the throne, Kei and Tadashi watched on with sick interest as Tetsurou led (y/n) down to the Hall of mirrors. "Thiss sshould be fun." Tadashi grinned while a grandfather clock ticked on in the background.

They reached the Hall of Mirrors and The prince stepped away from them for a moment. "When I was little, my dad brought me down here. Told me to look in the mirror and see myself as a great leader. I never could, at least, not until I met you." He stopped speaking and held them the moment he heard sniffling. "What's wrong?"

"I... I wish I Could- I wish I could tell you everything, but I can't." They all but sobbed.

"These last few days have been perfect, I mean, excluding the whole almost getting eaten alive, or that letter you wrote that made me die a little inside, and then I had to dance with TOORU, of all people. But none of that matters anymore. We're together now, aren't we?" He pulled them to the center of the room after he finished speaking. "I don't want it to end."

"I know, I know," they sniffled. "I feel the same but I—"

"I brought you here— I know you're scared and I'm scared too. This is... a big step." He held eye contact and slowly got on one knee, despite (y/n) shaking their head softly, with tears in their eyes. "(Y/n), will you marry me?" He stared up at them with big, hopeful eyes that shone brighter as they smiled at him.

Too bad the clock struck midnight.

[sunnysviolin]

Kel and Aubrey going around interacting with people to learn about the different cultures everywhere as they travel, wearing cultural outfits, participating in cultural activities, just having an overall good time...

Would they be good at any cultural dances? Since they're traveling to Spain first, I can just imagine Aubrey in a flamenco dress with Kel as they just dance together and enjoy themselves (or maybe Kel wearing the dress- or maybe both of them wearing dresses-)

...I kinda wanna draw them dancing around together now.

-from a videogame-world traveling anon

nonnie.....nonnie wait....if you drew something we created together I would be SO EMO WAIT!!! No oh my god like my brain literally just exploded like art?? ART??? I wanna be able to draw so bad...but I can’t I just gotta continue on w my lil writing bits....here take some more writing bits nonnie

*Singing to myself* This got lonnng againnnn I’m putting itttt under a readdd moreeeee

Kel’s parents are....less than pleased to find out their son isn’t directly going to college like Hero did, and they make that known. 

They don’t approve of his choice to take at least one gap year. They don’t approve of him not continuing his education. They don’t approve of him throwing away his life for that bad girl that spent so many years terrorizing him. Even two years after changing her ways, Aubrey is still regarded as a nuisance among the town old timers. Kel’s parents tell him plainly that they don’t approve of Aubrey, and they won’t be changing their mind. 

Which leads to Kel having a minor breakdown and finally admitting what he’s known his whole life- that he will never be good enough to measure up to Hero, and he’s finally tired of trying to be someone he’s not. He isn’t Hero and he never will be, but for once he wants being Kel to be good enough. 

Seeing their bright positive middle child finally crack under the weight they’ve been unintentionally laying on him is...it’s painful. Kel’s parents never meant to make it a competition between their sons, they just wanted what was best for both of them. 

Having Kel sobbing at their dining room table at 3:00 am on the night of his high school graduation teaches them that they might not know what’s best for Kel after all. 

So...yeah the talk the morning after that is filled with a lot of awkward pausing. Kel isn’t used to sharing his true feelings, and he isn’t used to exposing anything other than cheerful hope. Ultimately they come to an agreement. Kel can go with Aubrey, follow her and his heart on their crazy plan, but he has to spend the year before they leave working and earning and not just hanging around the house

That was Kel’s plan anyway, so he’s ecstatic. He calls Aubrey immediately after, and she comes over so they can plan things out together

That year before they leave is definitely not easy. They’re working multiple retail and menial labor jobs, spending 12-15 hours a day on their feet in steamy kitchens, being screamed at by rude customers, and delivering so. many. pizzas. 

At some point in that year Aubrey and her mother have the inevitable fight that has been coming her whole life, and her mother kicks her out. Aubrey shows up in the middle of the night with her things next to her. Kel’s mother welcomes her inside and gets her a cup of tea. Kel wakes up and comes downstairs the next day to see his partner curled up asleep on the couch under a blanket his mother had just finished knitting

His mother doesn’t explain anything (”It’s her story dear not mine”) but after Aubrey comes to stay with them his parents warm to her quickly. Aubrey and Kel are allowed to share the room that Hero and he once shared, but they’re adamant that the beds stay on opposite sides

((He and Aubrey fit cramped but happy into his twin bed every night, but she always wakes up early to switch beds in order to be respectful to his parents wishes)) 

Soon enough its the afternoon before their journey is beginning (They decided to redeye to Sevilla). They have hostel confirmation numbers for a dozen different European countries, a thick binder of plans and itineraries, and a joint account that has a surprising amount of money in it. 

Turns out working 15 hours a day, taking only your eight paid vacation days, and having all of your dates be creative free dates in the five hours a week you both have off together means that you are able to acquire quite the nest egg. Kel’s parents sit them down at the dining room table, and his father is shocked to see how this year has shaped Kel. 

It’s a strange thing to see your son as an adult for the first time. It didn’t feel strange when it was Hero, he always expected it from Hero. Seeing it in Kel rocked him. 

They drive the two young adults (calling them kids now feels...wrong) to the airport and make them promise to call and write daily. 

There’s an undeniable energy and excitement as they board the plane. He and Aubrey breathe an audible sigh of relief. They shouldn’t, but they sleep on the plane. After a year of running, they’ve earned it

OKAY SO THAT WASN”T AT ALL WHAT YOU ASKED FOR....HERE HAVE DANCE LESSON HEADCANONS

Aubrey planned for everything, so she planned that they would need at least two days to recover when they finally got to Spain. The first two days are spent in a combo of sleeping and eating fantastic food and finally being able to spend a full night in bed together instea of sneaking unsuccessfully around Kel’s parents. 

She splurged and got them a private room at their first hostel in Sevilla. It was more expensive, but ultimately so very very worth it. 

But day three is when they start to explore. They finally venture off of the block around their hostel and began to deep dive into the tiny back paths of the city. They meet a nice handful of locals who invite them to breakfast the next morning (Kel’s spanish speaking skills are undeniably useful to them in this moment) 

And that night...that night is the beginning of the wish fulfillment she’s waited for since she was five years old. A flamenco lesson that promises an authentic experience, real outfits, and a party for all involved at the end. Aubrey was frugal with accomodations, but she spared no expense when it came to the experiences. Especially this one. 

Flamenco is traditionally a single dance with one woman, but she asked and Kel is allowed to come if he likes. The instructor in charge recognizes Aubrey from her call, and drags Kel over to where another man sits with a guitar. He and the man begin to converse in Spanish, and Kel seems to be rapidly making plans. He’s fine with only watching for tonight, this is her dream

Aubrey is thrust into a room with a bunch of other tourists, even a few from her own state, and a gaggle of women who work at the studio. They show her a row of gorgeous traditional dresses, an overwhelming rainbow of frills and explosions of color. 

Aubrey has let her hair go back to it’s natural color by this point, and her long dark locks catch the eye of one of the instructors who pulls her over to a corner of the rack of dresses. The instructor winks at her and pulls out a dress. It’s perfect. 

Kel is also having a fantastic time. He and the guitar player who’s name is Raphael are discussing guitar playing. Raphael wants to teach Kel to play himself so “He can play for his lady when she wants to dance for him again” 

All conversation stops when Aubrey walks out. 

The others are dolled up as well, but Kel only has eyes for his girl. Her dress is black, hugging to her waist and her body. As the ruffles of the dress begin on her arms and her legs, the dress goes from black to a striking bright red. Around her wrists and on her neck is bright gold jewlery, gleaming against her skin. 

Aubrey’s dark hair is wrapped up in a bun with a series of pink to red carnations following the curve of her hair. Her lips are tinged with maroon lipstick. 

Kel is left speechless. Aubrey asks him something and Kel just has to nod and try to catch his breath. The rest of the group giggle at their antics, and Aubrey rolls her eyes at him. She presses a kiss to his cheek, maroon imprint left in its wake, and then she is over with the other girls in front of the instructor. 

Raphael begins to play at the instructors insistence

The dance lesson is fun. Even just watching Kel has fun. Aubrey normally has a hardness in her eyes, a tightness in her shoulders as if she’s always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Within minutes of the instructors careful praise and guidance Aubrey is loose and even giggling. Kel hasn’t heard a sound like that from her since they were children. 

At the end the group performs the dance all together to a raucuous applause form Kel, Raphael, and the instructor. Then they all go to the patio behind the studio which has been decked out in warm golden lanterns with a table of food prepared. 

Raphael begins to play again and the others mingle close to the food. Aubrey takes Kels hand and they go to a separate corner of the dance floor. They don’t dance in any particular way, just holding one another and rocking to the melody. Her hair has begun to come out of it’s tight bun, but her eyes are bright with happiness and she can’t manage to stop smiling

That night under the glow of the lanterns is the night they first say they love each other. It was a given, they already knew it, but those words are saccharine sweet against their lips as Kel holds Aubrey close to him and they spin while the music plays.

~Perfect Birthday~

Au: Kaishi

Part: twelve

Theme: Fluff? Comedy? Who knows lol

(These 2 are going on an adventure)

"Buttercream? No that wont do. Vanilla with a touch of banana or Strawberry? Shoot! What about...hmmm...." You focused on the ingredients so hard that you were developing a light headache. Meanwhile, your husband sat across from you at the kitchen table, scrolling through his laptop for themes and present ideas. "Y/N, just settle on chocolate and call it a day." Kai announced while his eyes hovered on a Circus theme. He shuddered lightly at the thought of animals being involved. 'Absolutely not' he thought to himself. You sighed and put the ingredients list down. "I cant settle on Chocolate. I'm worried that someone might have an allergy to it. I'm also so worried about the vegan adults that might be here. What about the picky eaters too? Kai, I feel like I'm going insane right now." You gripped the sides of the chair you sat on. He peeked up at you and notices your incoming distress. He sighed and stood up to move behind you. He softly gripped each of your shoulders and began to give you an impromptu massage. "Stop worrying so much about it so much, Angel. Just do chocolate cake since its the brat's favorite flavor. We can go with a vegan cupcake option that should be safe for the people with chocolate allergies as well. As for the others, there will be other food and even beverage options. You're working so hard for people I dont even care about. This is all for my son and no one else but him. His happiness is my only concern."

You sighed and reached up to place a hand on your husband before turning to smile sweetly at him. "Kai, you're being sweet today." You teased him and he scoffed. "Anyway, I know you only want to focus on Kaishi but having other kids here for the first time, other than Ishida, is like his dream come true. It took me a lot of time to get on the parents good sides. It took a lot of time for them to want to bring other kids around Kaishi because if the yakuza affiliations. Had it not been for the fact that you've began working into charity for the city, I dont think anyone would've given us a chance. Bow we have parent friends, and now Kaishi has a chance for an amazing birthday this year. Let's not mess this up, okay? That means NO EXCESSIVE GERMAPHOBIA, and NO ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOR okay?" You drilled it home at the end. He sighed in annoyance. "Ugh fine. I'll try to conversate with the other scum as if they never insulted the yakuza before. You had better be lucky I appreciate you and Kaishi at this point or this wouldn't be happening." Kai complained before pulling his medical mask down and kissing you lightly on your lips. "You two are being icky again. I'm going to tell Grandpa on you guys." Kaishi's voice brought you two back to reality. "Oh hush, and mind your business." Kai said as he ruffled his son's short hair playfully. Kaishi giggled and swatted the gloved hand away. He took a seat at the kitchen table next to Kai's laptop and peeked over to see what was on the screen. While you went to fix him some oatmeal, his father bolted to the seat and slapped the laptop closed. "No peeking. Havent you any manners?" Kai fussed lightly while Kaishi smiled. "Its okay daddy, I already know you two are planning my birthday for tomorrow." The boy said proudly. "That may be so, but it doesnt mean we cant at least surprise you with the decorations and food." Kai explained. You placed breakfast in front of Kaishi and sat down with your boys. Pops had just entered the kitchen at this point. "Family breakfast? Dont mind if I do." He smiled and took a seat next to you. "Grandpa, what will you give me for my birthday?" Kaishi asked excitedly. Kai flicked his cheek. "Dont be rude brat, respect your elders." He scolded him as Pops laughed. "Oh calm down, Chisaki my boy. My grandson is very calm at this age compared to how you used to act." Pops said with a smirk as you laughed and Kai blushed lightly with embarrassment. "Anyway, my Grandchild your gift will have to remain a surprise until tomorrow." Pops winked and Kaishi groaned. "Aw man. Well, mom/dad? What will you get me?" He turned to look at you in anticipation. You put a finger to your chin to think for a second. Then you snapped and made an 'Ah-Ha' expression. "I'm going to get you a fancy suit! Maybe I'll get some toys too. Just maybe, you'll have to wait and see." You teased him and he smiled. "Daddy, what about you?" He looked at Kai for an answer. "Just like Pops said, it will be a surprise. However, I'll take the time now to ask you what you want as a gift from all of us. It'll serve separately from the gifts we'll get you so dont worry." Kai watched his son expectantly as Kaishi searched his little mind. Seconds later he piped up excitedly:

"SMOOGLY!!!" He shouted happily and raised his arms dramatically in the air. You and Pops laughed while Kai tilted his head in confusion. "Smoo-what? Are you well? Are you speaking in tongues???" Kaishi giggled at his father's confusion. You turned towards Kai to explain. "Kai, Smoogly is a character from Kaishi's favorite show. He's this giant lollipop that dances and sings. Yknow, kids love that stuff." Kai stared at you for a second before nodding. Then he turned his attention back to Kaishi eating breakfast finally. "Alright then, you want Smoogly then that's what you'll get." After breakfast, Kaishi went to call Ishida on the phone. You monitored in awe, gushing as your baby talked to his little crush over the phone. The two were fast friends, and she was the first/only child in the class to accept and support Kaishi to the fullest degree. Meanwhile, Pops went to the backyard to water the flowers and feed the Koi in the pond. Kai headed out to the car to call Kurono/pick him up. "Chrono, I know I've given you the off day but I need a favor." Kai spoke on the car wireless phone while he drove. "Yeah man, what's up?" Hari answered from the other side. He was currently face deep in a 3rd bag of chips as he reclined on his sofa. "The brat's birthday is tomorrow and it's his first big one with other parents and children expected to be there. He wants some actor there to perform or something. Some thing called Smogie or Smothly or something like that."

"OHHHHH!!!! You're talking about Smoogly!" Hari shouted excitedly, his voice boomed over the car speakers. "Yeah whatever that mess is. Anyway, help me track him down and I'll give you tomorrow off to repay you from today. You can also have some leftover cake." Kai offered him. "Bet!" Kurono answered shortly before hanging up and getting ready. In moments Kai was at his door to retrieve him. The two men drove around for a bit while Kurono did some searching online. Lucky for him, it wasn't that hard to find Smoogly's booking information. "Found it, Kai. It says here that we can email and make a down payment, or call the home offices for a response in about...14 days." Kai almost slammed on the breaks. "14 days??? No that's not possible for a booking that could be denied. My Kaishi's birthday is tomorrow. We need to get this Smoogly there as soon as possible." He felt a bit of panic set in. Kai would never forgive himself if he couldn't get his son's biggest wish for his birthday. "Hey man chill. We'll just go to his office and speak to him directly. I mean, we've got a little pull when it comes to money. Also, we're yakuza so..."

"I know what you're thinking Chrono, and the answer is no. We cant push too many buttons or we'll end up leaving the gray area in which we operate in. I cant afford to get arrested on Kaishi's birthday." Hari rolled his eyes and shook his head. "Whatever man. Just take a left onto the main freeway and we should reach the exit in like 30 minutes. After that, we just follow the main road for 4 more minutes, take a right at the stop light, and turn off the Broadway drive. Smoogly's office should be right between a steak restaurant and a car dealership." Hari explained the directions. Kai nodded and the two were on their way. Once they made it to the offices, they took a number and sat in the waiting room. The wait wasnt uncomfortable to Kai...it was the old man across from them that kept coughing that made him uncomfortable. He felt hives pop up on his arms. Luckily the two were called before he went insane! Only minutes later they were standing before a chubby man smoking a cigarette behind a desk. He had dark hair, and was balding right in the middle of his head. His skin was just a step away from being super pale (no doubt because he had the costume on a lot) His noticable feature was the large mole on his cheek. He was clearly a foreigner from some city somewhere, thanks to his accent.

(!!!Reader, think about Carl from Aqua Teen Hunger Force!!!)

"Alright, what can I do for you two men? Wait a minute, you two are the tax guys right?"

"Uhhh, no. No we're here to inquire about an opening to hire you? The pay will of course be-"

"Yeah yeah yeah. Pay doubled blah blah. I've heard this a million times before. I get bastards like you that come in here every single day asking to pay extra just so I can come to your event. The moms are even worse since they also think they're entitled to my services." The chubby man interrupted Kai. "Please. It's my son's birthday. You see, this birthday is special because he's never had-"

"Pshhh...yeah buster, you're kid is special. Just like everyone else that's come in here before you to say the same thing. Bottom line is that I ain't doing it. If you want my services than file through email or take it up with the front desk. Deposits non-refundable if you get denied. Have a nice day." He put out the cigarette and picked up a rather inappropriate nude magazine. Kai looked at Chrono and sighed as if to say Hari can take over. Hari smiled darkly and went to approach the desk. The chubby man hadn't looked up from the magazine as he spoke. "Look man, I said piss off. What, you didnt get the picture the first time or-" he immediately froze and turned his attention to Hari when he heard the click of the gun. When he turned, he was staring down the glock.

Hari spoke up darkly. "Hey buddy, I'm a changed man but that doesn't mean shit is sweet. I've killed a dozen people before and I'm not afraid to go to prison. Either you do my nephews birthday party tomorrow, or we wear your face on a memorial T-Shirt. Fuck is it gonna be? Eh???" The man gulped and shakily reached his finger out to the voice machine on his desk. "Deborah cancel all my appointments tomorrow, I've got a birthday to go do." Hari and Kai smiled when they heard the voice reply 'Right away, sir.' They bid the man goodbye and left the office. The next day, Kaishi rushed to the backyard after taking a quick shower and getting ready. It was decorated beautifully with bounce houses, a splash area, party games, an extensive food/present table, swings, slides, etc. Most importantly, the parents actually showed up with their kids. Kaishi almost cried tears of happiness when he finally had friends to play with. Meanwhile, you and Pops chatted with the other parents until Smoogly arrived to perform. The kids absolutely loved every bit! Every once in a while, the Lollipop turned to look at Kurono standing in the corner, smirking menacingly and daring him to slip up just once. Smoogly quickly turned around and kept performing. At the end of his shift, he was paid extra just as Kai promised, and Kaishi got to take a picture with him. Finally it came time for presents. Kaishi was happy to receive so many gifts, but he was more eager to get his gifts from you, Kai, and Pops (even Hari got him a secret gift at the last minute). Kaishi smiled at the wooden box Pops had given him. When he opened it, it revealed a small pin on a soft cushion. It was shiny and brand new. It was the symbol of the Hassaikai, the infamous flower design. "My grandson, when your father was younger I had given him this very same gift. Please be sure to take good care of it." He gently placed a hand on Kaishi's head. The boy nodded excitedly and passed the box for you to hold while he opened up the remaining gifts. It was a surprise jacket from you to him. It was just a smaller version of Kai's jacket! Plus that suit you promised, and a few other Smoogly themed toys as well. From Hari, he recieved a new helmet for his new bike. Finally from Kai he received a matching mask. With the suit and the jacket, he was the matching embodiment of his very on father (aside from inheriting some of your skin tone depending on your color, my dear reader).

This was truly the perfect birthday.
