Small Changes.

Though we work together, it's rare we ever get to sit down for... Any kind of conversation. Which is why i wasn't all that surprised when Adelle asked me to join her for a chat.

Adellenne Hocoleux leans back from the tea tray she's assembled, fidgeting slightly with her gloves. Dozer sleeps across the room beneath her desk and, at the sound of the door opening, she sits up just a bit straighter. "Hello, Mist. I prepared the grapefruit tea you seemed to enjoy so much. There's also some of those sesame biscuits." She shifts, smoothing down her skirt. "You have been well, I hope?"

Mistienne Aurloix: "Well enough. No one is dying, all our people are accounted for, and i'm on top of paperwork. I've even had enough time to take Ouryu out for a run." The latter comment brings a smile to her lips, eyeing the tea as she takes a seat on the sofa. "Thank you, Adelle. Were all my friends so considerate, i might consider having more of them." Huffing a note of amusement, she reaches for the teacup to cradle in her hands, settling it on her knee. "And yourself? We've barely had chance to speak aside passing notes back and forth and occasional nods in the hallway."

Adellenne Hocoleux: "I am doing far better than I have before," she admits with a little laugh. She takes her own up up, adds honey and a bit of candied lemon. "I have been doing a bit of thinking, actually, with Khu's visit wrapping up." Her thumb brushes over the lip of the cup. "I thought about making a little change, but I wished to speak with you first."

Mistienne Aurloix: "A… Change?" Mist's words hang with trepidation, gaze immediately darting from where it had idly wandered to her tea, immediately to Adelle's sapphire gaze. "About the company? In what way?" She doesn't drink. Only listens.

...Now the reason for such a social meeting becomes more apparent. Not that i'd have been upset if it was simply to catch up, i do enjoy it. But, busy though we are, we never have so much time to do so...

Adellenne Hocoleux: "Less about the company, more about me." Her smile is gentle. "Ever since I came to join this company, I have treated it as though I owe it some great debt. You are not the only one to joke about how little time I spend away," Adelle drinks while it's still piping hot, having to blow away steam that rises in fine curls toward her face. "I am going to take an extended leave. A holiday, if you will. With Khu. I did not want to just leave a letter or tell you over the linkpearl."

...Extended leave? ...How long for? Gods, not a cycle. I think i'll go mad before summer if that's the case. ...She had best come back. She has to come back.

Mistienne Aurloix: "Adelle…" She trails, taking the time to formulate a proper response. She slowly edges a finger along the rim of the teacup, before offering a small tap to set tiny ripples into the liquid. "…How long for? I by no means plan to stop you going, and i think time away will be… Good, for you. For both of us, i think. Just…" Her brow knits at words she doesn't say.

Adellenne Hocoleux: "A quarter of a cycle there, then we will hopefully both return for another, and then…so on and so forth." Her shoulders rise in a small shrug. "So long as they do not chase me out, and so long as he is permitted to come back with me. Waiting another cycle to see one another was too hard agree to again."

Mistienne Aurloix seems to visibly relax as Adelle elaborates, nodding slowly. "There's no qualms about him coming here with you, unless you mean from the Hydrae themselves. I'll admit, i don't know too much of them. This… It's serious, then?" A brow lofts.

Adellenne Hocoleux nods to you.

Adellenne Hocoleux: "I care about him deeply, in a way that I have not quite understood before. It would not be fair to either of us if we did not give ourselves the proper time to explore that." She chuckles. "We leave soon. Our bags are already packed, and our route is decided on. I have even considered who might keep up with my part of the paperwork, so you will not have it entirely on your shoulders."

Mistienne Aurloix: "…I mentioned you were considerate?" Mist echoes her previous words, and a faint yet present smile tugs at her lips. "…If they're selected by your hand, i won't have any issue, i imagine. Who?"

Adellenne Hocoleux: "Elizar Brucemont. He is an author who has been staying here, and I have employed him as a retainer unofficially. He has formal education, and I have had him assisting with quite a bit of the legal language lately. He can be somewhat naive, but thankfully not in this. He should do quite well for you," She takes another sip, thoughtful for a time. "He is a bit excitable though."

I trust her decision wholeheartedly, of course i do. I... Look. Matters of the heart have never been something that i enjoy thinking or speaking about, but i think Adelle of all people deserves her own slice of happiness for all she's endured. If she wants to chase that, i encourage it.

Mistienne Aurloix: "…Excitable." The joy drains somewhat from Mist's expression, but she doesn't let it get the better of her. "I trust your choices as much as i ever have. I never liked the idea of working with anyone, but you've proven it can be enjoyable. Just… Adelle?" Her gaze fixes on her, allowing the moment to hang. "…Please come back. I'm not saying i couldn't run the company without you, i could. But the truth is, i don't really want to."

Adellenne Hocoleux beams with delight at you.

Adellenne Hocoleux: "I do not plan to be away forever. In truth, the moment we get there they may very well chase me out. I will find out one way or another when we arrive." She heaves a sigh but relaxes back into the sofa. "I could not stay away forever. This is my home."

Mistienne Aurloix: "And you will always be welcomed into it as such." Finally, she takes a sip of tea. "…What are they so opposed to as to want to chase you out?"

Adellenne Hocoleux: "Everything, actually. My magick, my scars, the fact that I am an elezen woman, all of it tends to weigh rather heavily against me. I am hopeful things will eventually change, but I have little idea when that will be. They opposed Neoma when they met her as well."

Mistienne Aurloix: "…Even Neoma? Gods…" The usual frown takes her expression, then. "…Surely Khu will vouch for you? He holds some sway?" She asks, hopefully. "I never knew their customs were so… Strict."

If even someone as sweet as Neoma was opposed to visiting, it sets some apprehension for Adelle. Of course, she's a lovely and capable woman, and i admire her greatly, but Adelle has a manner of caution about her that Neoma distinctly lacks. ...She knows what she's doing, though. She's one of the smartest people i know.

Adellenne Hocoleux: "They are strict, yes, in a way I cannot fathom. Khu is their priest, so he can usually convince them of things he would otherwise be unable to. His brother and uncle are two of the leaders of the tribe, so it is mostly convincing -them-." She shrugs, shoulders rising and falling on a sigh. "I love him, though, and such a thing is worth it if it means spending more time with him."

Mistienne Aurloix pulls her lips to a line at the word, but doesn't protest it. "If you're both going, he must be confident enough that he stands a chance of convincing them, yes?"

Adellenne Hocoleux: "He has convinced them of many things. We hope that this will be the start of something long lasting. There is always the chance that they will refuse to permit me to continue returning with him, and if that is the case, then we will need to decide what to do then. Have you ever encountered a people like that?"

Mistienne Aurloix: "Ishgardian nobility?" Mist lofts a brow, offering a crooked grin that's half serious about her answer. "…What will your plans be, if… They refuse?"

Well, i'm not wrong, exactly. So set in their ways and so stubborn about having anything different than their own exacting standards, the less pleasant nobles of Ishgard fit that description fairly well.

Adellenne Hocoleux: "I will find that answer when I have to. For now, I have hope, and so does he. It is not a complication that we have to worry ourselves with on the journey, at least. The two of us are ready to weather some rather chilly camping. Dozer is coming along this time, too." She looks toward the window and finally seems to be aware enough of her tea to take another sip. "It is not summer so, hopefully everyone remains in one piece."

Mistienne Aurloix: "…Nothing more than the usual wear and tear. We'll be fine, i'll… Try not to send them anywhere dangerous…" Mist sighs, frowning to her tea. "They're plenty good about finding trouble themselves…" She looks to Adelle again, then. "…Anywhere notable you'll be going, on the way?"

Adellenne Hocoleux: "It would be marvelous if they stopped for a while. Maybe picked up a new hobby or two?" The suggestion was hopeful even if she clearly didn't believe her own words. "Not that I know of. We will be trying to get there before the main snowfall, so that the tribe can migrate to other camps. The areas change, based upon the stars. Do you think you will be able to keep yourself entertained while I am away? I know we have such marvelous, exciting times together."

Adellenne Hocoleux beams with delight at you.

Mistienne Aurloix: "I'll find something. If not, i think this Elizar man will find it for me, by the sounds of it. Or Bexy will." She makes a face at even the suggestion. "Does she know you're going? Know to stay out of too much trouble because you won't be here to put her back together?"

Adellenne Hocoleux: "I mean to speak with her, at least to let her know what she aught to be doing to take care of herself while I am away. I do not wish for my work to fall on Neoma and Mhira's shoulders, but I trust them. We have had smooth sailing so far. If all goes according to plan, I will be back not long after Heavensturn."

Mistienne Aurloix: "…I trust you already have the gift for our niece in hand, already? I can't believe she'll be three. Three cycles old!" Even speaking of her seems to bring some warmth to Mist's features. "…Bexy will do as she wishes. Though the company on an official basis can't deal with the ongoing situation with the slavers… I know Bexy and some of the others are far from done with them."

...For reasons i didn't enjoy but had to abide by, i couldn't exactly speak with Bexy on a ready basis when all the chaos was at the thickest. I got little glimpses, here and there. And i know her tone well when she isn't done. She's merely granted them a reprieve, and with Sayuri back and others with her, i know she wants to do... More. Gods, Bexy... How much blood is on your hands, now? Guilty blood, but... ...Does she still even count them?

Adellenne Hocoleux: "Could you speak to her about it? I am concerned that she will get in over her head, or someone else will following after her. Their numbers vastly outnumber us, and if even a handful of them wanted to make an example of her? Together? She is isolating herself to try to solve this problem. I…worry. She listens to you in a way she does not listen to me."

Adellenne Hocoleux expresses her worry with you.

Mistienne Aurloix: "…How i wish that were true. Bexy's whims are her own, and though it frustrates me, i'd much sooner have her on our side than anywhere else. Their numbers… Do outnumber us, yes. But she's far from alone. I'm… Not sure how much you know of the situation. She only tells me when i specifically ask. I think… She knows i'll try to find out more. Try to help, so she cuts off that temptation from me." Mist sighs, "It's probably for the best."

Adellenne Hocoleux slowly nods. "I know what I heard, and what I hear in Ul'dah. My home is in the Goblet after all, and I hear what the locals gossip about in the markets. Please, if you think she is getting in over her head, remind her that there are other ways we could go about this. There are, what, hundreds of them? She is fighting with a handful." Adelle took another sip of her tea and set the cup aside. "I will bring her back souvenirs, and our niece. I have presents already decided for everyone really.

Mistienne Aurloix: "…We can't do anything. Not you or me. Or the company, officially. Adelle… She's killed almost a quarter of their number; probably about that, if you include Sayuri and… What was the other woman's name? Vex? She's been about the house, but i've not had chance to meet her. She's hunting them still, and while i can't argue that the world would be a better place if the worst of the slavers were dead, i just…" Another sigh, as she nurses her tea. "Same as you. I worry. But i'll remind her, all the same. You know we'd be fools to get in the way of something she wants. Especially if it pertains to the safety and well being of the company."

Adellenne Hocoleux nods and rubs a hand at the back of her neck. "I understand that, even so much as I wish she cared for her own well being that much more. I cannot revive her if I am halfway across the star." Adelle offers her a weak smile. "Speaking of, you will keep the workroom in the basement locked, I trust?"

...I know well what Adelle is implying, but i really don't want to think about it. One of the ways i see her in a similar light as Bexy. I don't exactly... Approve of what she's doing, but i'd rather she does it here where i vaguely know what is happening, than somewhere else. At least i know she does it for the right reasons.

Mistienne Aurloix: "Locked and undisturbed." Mist nods assertively. "…It will be fine, Adelle. Though i know we'll be in your thoughts, that doesn't mean that we always have to be at the forefront of them. In truth… I'm somewhat jealous. I wish i could go to some far-flung land for a few moons. But i'd be bored within a moon, and come running right back."

Adellenne Hocoleux: "You did it once, ages ago. You were gone for quite some time. Perhaps when I return, you can go spend some time in Kugane?" Her hand falls again to her lap. "You would hardly be bored there."

Mistienne Aurloix: "…Perhaps. I just… I don't want to leave it all to you. You know who i'd leave in my shoes, in the interim…"

Adellenne Hocoleux: "I would be happy to run things at her side, you know I would. She simply…is growing. She is asking for help, at least. That is growth."

Mistienne Aurloix: "I just wish she'd grow faster than a sodding cactus. Even with your green fingers, she…" Mist sighs, lips pursed into a frown. "At least i wouldn't have to worry about you two disagreeing. I know she's… Better than she was. Or at least, i hope so. It's hard to tell, sometimes."

The truth is, i don't know. She's killed so many, and i know it's because... They had Sayuri and Eir. I thought it would all stop, at least for a time, when she got them back, but she only seems to want to keep going. Bexy, you surely can't mean to kill all of them. There were hundreds... ...Surely not. Not even with help...

Adellenne Hocoleux: "She is. She knows how it feels to want to stay, now. She knows how it feels to want to see another sun." She leans back fully against the sofa. "Along those lines, I think we aught to start really thinking about what we want for the company moving forward. We are still helpful, still mercenaries to a degree, but I think we really should move forward as more."

Mistienne Aurloix: "…So many of us know only that life, though. Assuming you're meaning we continue doing as we are, and we simply… Branch out? Work with other people, do other things? That sort of thing? It's been nice having our own chefs and craftspeople in-house, and not needing to outsource that. Have you any ideas?"

Adellenne Hocoleux nods to you.

Adellenne Hocoleux: "Branching out is exactly what I mean. We might only know this life, but everyone has the capability to learn and expand, or even to desire more. We can move forward with opening the bar, perhaps host cooking classes? Ways to teach people new skills to grow their life."

Mistienne Aurloix: "I'm all for it, though i wager my duties will remain largely the same. We… Can think on it? As in, what it will exactly entail, when you are home from your travels? It your mean those skilled in other things can host their skills to a wider audience… And perhaps we can get some new skills through the door? As a sort of… Collective, i suppose?"

I'm not against it. Things will remain the same or better for those already here, and it encourages new talent and skills beneath our roof, which are always nice to have on hand. Being a bounty hunter, or... Well, mercenary i suppose, has told me i should really be prepared to expect anything.

Adellenne Hocoleux: "That would be a spectacular way to help the star, I think. We have been a home for so long, and now we can do more. We have the means, we have the knowledge. We simply need to do it. It was what ERA started as, was it not? A way to help?"

Mistienne Aurloix: "…A way to help. Be it those who we go out to aid, or… Those that come to us seeking better for themselves. There's no reason we can't build on that. Make it encompass all sorts of things, rather than solely mercenary work. Though i'm not fond of people in the bar… People often come with information, and i'm sure there's plenty to be learned."

Adellenne Hocoleux: "I will see what thoughts Khu has about it as we travel. He may have a different perspective. We might even find things along the way that we would like to have on the menu. If there are those who wish to continue mercenary work, we have those options, but now we will easier find things for those who know how to do otherwise. Like Alari, for example."

Mistienne Aurloix: "It's certainly something to bear in mind. When we've our plan for moving forward, we can formally change the company name, and… Well, who only knows where we'll go from there, hm?" Finishing her tea, Mist drains her cup, settling it back on the table. "But, that's for something when you return. For now, you have much more exciting things to look forward to, hm?"

Adellenne Hocoleux smiles at you.

Adellenne Hocoleux: "I am looking forward to the traveling very much. Is there anything in particular you would like upon my return?" She shifted the tray away from them and shifts, so that she can rise alongside Mist. "I am not above making detours."

Mistienne Aurloix: "Just for you to come back." Mist smiles, a little wryly. "Maybe something handmade?" Steadily, Mist rises to her feet. "You'll know it when you see it, i'm sure."

Adellenne Hocoleux: "I will return before you know it. I am sure everyone will hardly notice I am away, so long as there are no corpses we need answers from." Adelle smiles. "We leave soon. I will send word when we have arrived safely, if that is a comfort."

Mistienne Aurloix returns the smile, though a long sigh accompanies her. "Please, do. I hope it's everything you want it to be, Adelle. You deserve that much, at the very least. I'll be waiting. And trying to not lose my mind in the meantime."

Adellenne Hocoleux: "Have a lovely evening, Mist. I will see you shortly."

Mistienne Aurloix dips her head, and after looking over Adelle with a small, yet genuine smile, she heads for the door. "And you, Adelle. Be well, until i see you next." And with that, Mist slips through the door.

See, this is where she's wrong. We will notice she's gone. In the way the tea doesn't dwindle as fast as it usually does. In the way people will have to ask for what they would like making. In the unfamiliar hand paperwork is written in, and the caution i hope people choose to take in her absence. She's entitled to her freedom, and i'm glad she's taking it, but... Sometimes, i don't think she appreciates how important she is to us. Both as a part of the company, and... A friend.

Character ask: Beatrice and Benedick (Much Ado About Nothing)

Tagged by @ariel-seagull-wings

Favorite thing about them: First and foremost, they're both masters of wit. Neither one has any shortage of clever, hilarious lines.

Then there's their relationship. When they're "enemies," their insults are full of humor, and it's never hard to believe that they secretly do love each other, even though they would deny it with all their might. Then, as a couple, they're devoted and heartfelt, yet still witty, unsentimental, and true to themselves, and they share a good sense of mutual respect, with neither one dominated by the other. Of course some critics are concerned that the first act of love Beatrice demands from Benedick is that he kill his best friend Claudio, and that she accuses him of not loving her when he refuses at first, but not me. She's not going to be that way throughout their marriage; the situation of Hero's lost honor is just that bad.

Also, about Benedick: that despite styling himself as a woman-hater and enjoying jokes about cuckoldry, and despite his friendship with Claudio and Don Pedro, he never believes their accusation against Hero, not even when Hero's own father believes it.

Least favorite thing about them: Well, they can both be slightly mean-spirited in their insults, even though most of them are funny.

In the case of Benedick, there's also his lighthearted misogyny at the beginning (his and Beatrice's mutual reluctance to ever marry is probably meant to be equivalent, but from a modern feminist viewpoint, Beatrice's refusal to be dominated by a man seems more sympathetic and valid than Benedick's "old ball and chain" attitude), and the fact that he might have loved and left Beatrice before the start of the play, though we don't know exactly what happened.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I have no interest in getting married at the moment, but I would if I found the right person.

*I enjoy humor.

*Like Beatrice, I'm passionate about defending other women from men who mistreat them.

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I tend to be openly affectionate and never reluctant to admit that I love someone.

*I'm less good at witty wordplay than I'd like to be.

*Unlike Benedick, I'd make a terrible soldier.

Favorite line (Beatrice):

When she learns of Benedick's new friendship with Claudio:

"O Lord, he will hang upon him like a disease! He is sooner caught than the pestilence, and the taker runs presently mad. God help the noble Claudio! If he have caught the Benedick, it will cost him a thousand pound ere he be cured."

In response to Benedick's "Are you yet living?":

"Is it possible disdain should die while she hath such meet food to feed it as Signior Benedick? Courtesy itself must convert to disdain if you come in her presence."

Her Biblically-inspired explanation of why she refuses to marry:

"Not till God make men of some other metal than earth. Would it not grieve a woman to be overmastered with a pierce of valiant dust? to make an account of her life to a clod of wayward marl? No, uncle, I'll none: Adam's sons are my brethren; and, truly, I hold it a sin to match in my kindred."

When the masked Benedick pretends to be someone else and asks her who Benedick is:

"Why, he is the Prince’s jester, a very dull fool."

Her reveal that she and Benedick share a romantic past, in response to Don Pedro's remark that she has "lost Benedick's heart" by offending him:

"Indeed, my lord, he lent it me awhile, and I gave him use for it, a double heart for his single one. Marry, once before he won it of me with false dice. Therefore your Grace may well say I have lost it."

When Don Pedro proposes marriage to her:

"No, my lord, unless I might have another for working days. Your Grace is too costly to wear every day."

And of course, her famous line of rage after Claudio publicly shames Hero:

"O God, that I were a man! I would eat his heart in the marketplace."

Favorite line (Benedick):

His first line to Beatrice:

"What, my dear Lady Disdain! Are you yet living?"

His remark to Claudio about Hero's looks:

"Why, i’ faith, methinks she’s too low for a high praise, too brown for a fair praise, and too little for a great praise."

(Off-topic note: Benedick's quips about Hero's short stature make me wonder: was the role of Hero first played by the same boy actor who created the role of Hermia in A Midsummer Night's Dream?)

In response to Claudio's praise of Hero; the first evidence of his real feelings for Beatrice.

There’s her cousin, an she were not possessed with a fury, exceeds her as much in beauty as the first of May doth the last of December.

My favorite of his insulting remarks about Beatrice:

If her breath were as terrible as her terminations, there were no living near her; she would infect to the North Star.

When he finally resolves to marry Beatrice:

"I may chance have some odd quirks and remnants of wit broken on me because I have railed so long against marriage, but doth not the appetite alter? A man loves the meat in his youth that he cannot endure in his age."

His short, simple, and unique confession of love to her:

I do love nothing in the world so well as you. Is not that strange?

From their later love scene after he challenges Claudio:

"Thou and I are too wise to woo peaceably."

And my favorite of all his lines:

"I will live in thy heart, die in thy lap, and be buried in thy eyes—and, moreover, I will go with thee to thy uncle’s."

BrOTP: Beatrice: Hero. Benedick: Claudio and Don Pedro, at least until the wedding fiasco.

OTP: Each other.

nOTP: Beatrice: Her uncle Leonato. Benedick: Claudio, if any slash fans ever thought of shipping them.

Random headcanon: Whatever happened between them in the past, it didn't involve sex. Benedick might have jilted her, but he didn't take her virginity first. If he did, and it were found out, Beatrice's reputation would have been ruined, just like Hero's is almost ruined. It would make Benedick less likable, and their future happiness at the end of the play much less certain, if we think he jilted her after they had already slept together. Although I accept the fact that some productions imply that he did – just like I can accept that some Hamlet productions make Ophelia pregnant with Hamlet's child, whether I agree with that reading or not.

Unpopular opinion: While they're similar in obvious ways to Elizabeth and Darcy from Pride and Prejudice, and probably did partly inspire them with their battle of wits that ends in romance, they're also very different from them. Especially Benedick from Darcy, whose quiet reserve is far from Benedick's outgoing swagger; Beatrice and Benedick are similar to each other, while Elizabeth and Darcy, though not total opposites, are a contrasting pair. But more importantly, Elizabeth and Darcy are a couple whose feelings evolve from dislike (or rather, dislike on her side and aloofness on his) into love. Even though Beatrice and Benedick are often viewed that way, it's not really true: Beatrice and Benedick are exes. It's not clear if what they once shared was a full-fledged courtship or just a flirtation, but either way, they shared something, it ended badly (based on Beatrice's remarks, Benedick most likely got cold feet), and they hide their lingering feelings for each other by trading witty insults. All it takes to break this facade is for each to hear that the other still loves them. It's much simpler than Elizabeth's genuinely thinking Darcy is a terrible person, Darcy falling in love with her but failing at courtship, and both needing to learn important lessons about each other and about themselves before they can finally, gradually come together. And that simplicity makes perfect sense. In the first place, Much Ado is a two-and-a-half hour play, while Pride and Prejudice is a novel. Secondly Beatrice and Benedick aren't even the play's main characters; they're the comic relief beta couple. (Although they are the play's best characters and usually treated as if they were the leads.) Whereas Elizabeth and Darcy are the main characters of their novel, so their more complicated love story works best for them.

Song I associate with them:

"Sigh No More, Ladies, Sigh No No More"

This is probably its most famous setting, Patrick Doyle's from the 1993 Kenneth Branagh film:

And here's a more anachronistic version from 2011, sung by Catherine Tate and David Tennant:

[oc-aita]

AITA for throwing a book at my mentor? Slightly misleading title, the fact that I threw it (it was nowhere close to hitting him) isn't why I'd be the asshole here.

Hi. It's me, the guy who asked about getting my friend maybe-killed and stealing bones. It's been a rough few days (one of those days was about five years ago, but still.) This just happened. Now, I wholly believe I'm the asshole, but my brother says I'm not, and that I'm beating myself up. Honestly, he's way too nice.

I, 20sm, have mentioned my mentor here before. He's very powerful, and, as you've probably figured out, he sired me as a vampire. I'm not a spawn! He was really nice to me and made me a full vampire, so I stay myself. But I'm weak, and he's still alive, so I should have seen part of this coming.

See, a few days ago, he asked me to steal from my brother (we'll just call my brother Bear [20sm, older than me], because he comes up a lot, and I'll call our other friend Snake [30s/40sm.]) I did, because to be honest I wanted to make him proud of me, and he implied that it was very important. I was to switch Bear's journal with a small package. I did it! He didn't notice until later. Not that I felt good about it, though. I was proud that I was given that responsibility, and Bear told me that he'd known since the day I'd stolen it that I was the thief.

We didn't see my mentor for days after that, and it became a bit of a joke for Bear to ask me for the journal and me to deny its existence. I held onto it tightly, but I let him read from it and copy information down into a replacement. I don't think I was supposed to, but it made him happy.

That all changed yesterday. We were helping a child- I think he was like me- when everything went dark and confusing, and when we could see again, my mentor was in the corner of the room. He said something about "Taking the boy", and all of a sudden my body moved against my mind, and I started walking towards him. Bear grabbed me by my collar to keep me back, but I couldn't move on my own. Snake attacked my mentor, managing to harm and immobilize him, and Bear grabbed me and the child under his arms (he's like... seven feet tall to my 5'4'', so I'm portable to him) and started running, with Snake following behind.

I didn't know when I'd next see my mentor, and I thought if I finished what he told me to do he'd be less mad, because he was REALLY mad at Snake, so I managed to snap out of my stupor and throw the journal towards where my mentor was, so he could see it and get to it. Bear and Snake don't really like me going off on my own because last time I did, he kidnapped me and turned me into a vampire, but they don't really... get it. So this was the only time I knew I would have a chance to finish my assigned task.

ETA: Sorry, I should mention that my mentor attacked Snake first, with some kind of magic. They don't like each other. He doesn't seem to realize that my friends are good people, and that they're just overprotective and that's why they keep me away from him.

Rewatching season 1 (and actually paying attention to Sky to figure out what the fuck everyone is talking about): Part 5

EP 21:

Bloom will barely react to near death but will shun herself after a break up, nothing about her priorities are normal

✨⭐ Shine bright like a diamond ⭐✨

Stella should be exhausted from melting all this ice

Daphne is suddenly blue now

Who the FUCK is that voice when she grabbed the crown

"the king and queen of Domino, convinced they lost both their daughters chose to go into exile to grive."

.....I forgot that up to the first movie was planned, yeah them bitches were always ment to be alive huh

If Bloom is about 5'6, and Daphne is more than full head taller than her

Daphne is at least 6'0 ok???

Also blue Daphne!!

"I'm off to find you!" Daphne is alive??? And hiding??? Also Bloom referring to Daphne in third person

This episode has one to the best pre transformation scenes!!! They way they all jump up!!!

I guess we all know if Flora would of passed the bringing life to a desolate planet exam now :)

Tecna should turn her hood into a helmet more often

Musa finally using her focus in combat!!!!

(magical tools like Stella's "sword" and Nabu's staff are called focuses now bc they help focus magic, yes I'm bad at names)

"Isn't there a saying that goes the best defence is a good offence!"

Stella takes only offensive magic and basic magic classes confirmed

Tecna cracking so many jokes about Bloom being a princess

Musa's speaker spells are the best, just under her disco ball spells

I love how Bloom just hits shit when she can't transform, love her

Flora doesn't have any true offensive spells (spells that hurt on impact) she creates plants to attack (which is technically categorized as defensive and I need better names)

Stella: Cool ✨💖

Stella: wait I'm supposed to be mad at you, I retract that cool

Holy shit I didn't realize how fucking big that thing was until now

Bloom being a leader and telling Tecna what to do even while she can't do anything herself...it was ment to be

They could use version of convergence in s1, the mixing of magical spells, but cannot use true convergence, the mixing of raw magic

Stella is being so nice to Brandon for how angry she was

Bloom you are accepting Sky's apology wayyy too fucking fast

He doesn't get that apology accepted until at least the season finale, come on! Cheating is like one of the the biggest dick moves you can make in a relationship!!

Sky really really said "you always said I was your friend and nothing more", trying to put this on her omg, are the writers ok???

Bloom should of smacked the shit out of him for that one 💕💞

Winx club acknowledge that you have two of your male leads starting off as huge pieces of shit, and not just one 💗

"I forgive you" NO TF YOU DON'T

Oh wow this is making me angry at the writers. You had a another perfectly good meow meow in need of a redemption arc and a scene where he confronts the bad parts of himself and you throw it away to let Sky be the prince in shining armor

*ripping Sky out of the hands of the writers* I'll give him consequences!!!! And a character arc!!!!! AND ITS GONNA HAVE BLACK JACK AND—

Hmmmm of course the Sky Riven rivalry needs to be less one sided, to make it more obvious that their both bastards. Add a couple parallel scenes of Darcy/Riven, Sky/Diaspro (if I'm smart enough to do that), to set up Diaspro mind controlling Sky in s3. A few moments of each girl commenting on how Sky can be kinda a dick, a jokingly slightly snide comment about how "at least Riven isn't hiding he's a jackass", make a little Brandon glaring a hole though Sky's head all though out s1 on the top for flavor.....tbh I don't know what anyone was expecting. My favorite characters are Riven and Musa, I like it when characters are kinda bad people and have to learn to be better. Thats fucking god tier

If they just leaned into this angle of Sky being raised wrong and trying to unlearn his worst behaviors but still fucking up royally, with maybe a heart to heart about why he makes these horrible decisions sometimes, I'd like him a lot more!!

Idk in arguments with Bloom it's like he's not allowed to be straight up wrong, it's like none of the girls are allowed to be straight up wrong, cringe. I'm going to hit Sky with a stick labeled "character development" and "flavor" I'll be back

I'm actually going to punch Sky 💕💞, who told you your allowed to be happy rn? Your supposed to be as miserable as Riven rn, go to your corner cheater

EP 22:

Bloom should be way more unhappy about the Knut thing after her parents nearly died lol

Red Fountain castle....these schools are castles

Literally all of the Winx are making eye contact with eachother when Fragona says "the boys will stay here for now", Tecna may be aroace but she loves and supports her allos

OMG ITS HERE

Riven does (1) self reflection

Can he hear Stormy and Darcy talking out side of his cell about messing with his head???? Wait, kids show nvm

Why is Riven reacting so strongly, like he knows this is just Darcy right?

What is that thing??? Is that one of the army of decay but recolored or is that Darcy's original monster do not steal

Riven regains his sense of self with free help from Darcy!

Darcy's illusions...can be touched bestie

"There are many things I don't like about myself but I'm far from being a monster"

Would of loved if you expressed any of this BEFORE this moment

"I have a heart!!!!"

OUGH, MY SON

I'm not crying shut up

Ughh I just wanna give him a hug, is that so bad??

Riven bby understanding that becoming a better person isn't about making people forgive you, and no one owes your forgiveness if you become better

Sky definitely would struggle with that *laughs maniacally*

"I have a few friends too"

Hmmm I mean in the context of "hey I was manipulated and also Darcy was literally in my head" yeah

My meow meow is more pathetic than yours

"hey! Kiddo!" Glad you finally decided to speak up Griffin

"it would of been impossible to guess what their planning"

They tried to kill people. Are we forgetting that?

"I've always been good a picking locks [....] The person hasn't been born yet who can keep me locked up."

And then this trait is never shown again

He just walks out

Griffin got a cooler lock than him lmao

Riven with magic is a fun headcanon exclusively if you don't give him enough to over power anyone, then he has to use his ingenuity—which is one of his best traits!!

Like Riven with enough fairy magic but can't transform and vice versa with witch magic

I think witch magic seems more complicated??? Compared to fairy?? Which would make it more fun to give him bc then hed have to really work to do weird shit

All of this to say:

Let👏Riven👏use👏magic👏so👏he👏can👏pick👏magic👏locks👏too

That's the only thing Riven having magic is necessary for, bc then magic locks CAN keep him locked up and thats just not right babes

Background characters that could of been main characters with designs that pretty number 1, the witch Hecate

Goddamn rocking that light blue and red combo

That chick in the background comes from the same planet as Riven, you can tell by the shonen anime hair

Griffin sounds genuinely scared for Riven

He changed into his specialist uniform...but didn't bring any weapons?? Wouldn't that just be on his suit?

"Is this were it ends? No. You'll never get me."

Riven going from "I'm going to die" to "I'm too spiteful to die" to "the only one that kills me is me"

Salidin remembering that Faragona is a lying liar

I need to think more about thoese twins that work at CT

Bloom????? Are you ok????

She doesn't feel fear apparently

Sky agreed too quickly for how upset he seemed

Icy: NO—! Oh well he chose his own fate

All of the Trix have pretty strong on Riven apparently

"it's the same story as always, your stubborn as a mule" SAY IT MUSA

You'd think that Bloom would have a suit or something rather than her nomral clothes

DID NONE OF THE PROFESSORS HELP MIRTA? HELP???

Stella: So. Your not a prince.

Brandon: unfortunately, no. I'm Brandon, Sky's page

(First a squire, now a page, which...his job description is still bodyguard)

Stella: So Sky tricked Bloom and you tricked me

Brandon: and that changes everything

Stella: maybe, maybe not

Brandon, unlike Sky who attempted to push blame off of himself and instantly apologized, seems to have done the emotional equivalent of rolling over and dying

Man's has given up

Stella should not have enough magic to go on this mission. She should of collapsed after unfreezing Domino Palace

Icy wants to torture Alfea

Knut is a fucking dumbass 💕

The fact that Stella hasn't set him on fire yes is astounding, I wouldn't have enough patience for this

You know, CT is alive but I wouldn't assume the tunnels under it would be too

Why does CT have a personal garbage dumb?

Oh that's why, they have bugs that eat them

"No! Wait! If we attack we run the risk of blowing our cover!" "True. If we kill one the witches will sense it and we can kiss our surprise attack goodbye."

What? Are the BUGS apart of the tower??

These bugs are made of metal what the fuck

Bloom is definitely up there with the girls that can get along fine in a fight without magic, she's so unhinged

I love it when Bloom growls

(no seriously why are these bugs made of metal)

Good afternoon blorbo

There has to be like different tracks one can go into at RF. What ever Riven is in he's clearly the best at it bc everyone is freaking the fuck out over him

Is this an excuse to make all the boys "top of their class" by having them in different sections? Yeah, absolutely. Why?

You should of broken so many bones

Sky is so excited to see Riven, did you to not hate eachother the last time you saw— you know what whatever, this is admittedly adorable

Riven tries to apologize and Sky accepts it before he can even finish

Bloom is even jumping on Riven

Y'all are too nice around here

He's so pointy

EP 23:

Riven, babe, when did you have time to change clothes

This show is so poorly made (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

Brandon sassing Sky and Riven in quick succession. What ever Brandon is being paid it's not enough

That eye thing is fucking disgusting

"I still can't get over what's happening! I mean....this should of been a normal school year. Instead, were involved in a major crisis and we've got to safe Alfea! And the magic dimension!"

Musa having some very normal thoughts

"Look at it this way. This experience is teaching us so much more than school books could. We're part of historical events. We've had to come up with spells that can never be reproduced! We've got to fight alongside some of the most powerful people in the dimension!"

Tecna being fucking badshit (affectionate)

"you find all that thrilling do you! Well I don't like it at all! I'd rather be safe!!! At home!! With my parents!!!"

Nomral thoughts from a very interesting looking background character (seriously. Spot the main character is weirdly hard in Winx)

Musa: Flora's right!!!! We're like a big orchestra!!!! And each one of us has a very important part to play!!!!

Shut up I love her

Musa: each one of us is absolutely essential

I could write an essay about this moment, I won't tho. Just understand that Musa is perfect and I love her

Musa, Flora, and Tecna rallying the troops fjsndne

Tecna, talking about love: it can't be that bad

Knut: See! Over there is where they hide all their secrets!!

Riven: are you trying to make me homesick?

I—what the FUCK was your home life like to warrant this comment

How can Bloom not recognize her own power????

When Bloom growls >>>>

"most powerful", get swatted aside by Griffin

When did all these background witches get cloaks

Where are the other two teachers??? :(( Where are the other members of staff that I care about so deeply???? Cruel

And they can't teleport off planet?

Anyways

Sky is really dedicated....to everything but taking responsibility for his own actions ꒰⑅ᵕ༚ᵕ꒱˖💙

Hi Stormy, I see you've made it out of the cage

EP 24:

Adults stop being upset in front of the kids

Some of these characters look like normal humans and others are so obvious alien. That's never more clear than when Griffin and Faragonda talk

Griffin and Faragonda are divorced

STELLA WHY DID YOU LET BLOOM LEAVE WITH SKY?!

BLOOM WHY WERE YOU SO ADAMANT ABOUT GOING IF YOUR GONNA GET COLD FEET

Sky is a kind guy™ but he's also a weird selfish inconsiderate person, at the same time. Layers

I now hc that Sky is specifically Codatorta's best student (even tho it should really be Brandon)

Where is Alfea's magical barrier???

The only thing the weird s3 call back had on this was the dedication on maintaining the barrier

Separate then incinerate, guys, come on

What the fuck is Salidn's and Codatorta's relationship?? They seem like they should be related or something.... Son in law maybe?

I WANNA SEE GRIFFIN AND FARAGONA TRANSFORM, AND I WANT TO SEE IT NOW

Brandon: don't be scared, I'm right here with you

Stella: well that's exactly what I'm afraid of my darling prince

Brandon: I want to ask you to forgive me for-

(Brandon runs his hands though his hair when nervous)

Stella: making me believe your a prince when in fact your just a simple attendant

Brandon: yeah

Stella: dont worry about that Brandon, I don't care if your a prince or not. My parents are royalty and it hasn't done then any good, has it!

What is with this show and giving characters horrible undercuts?!

I see people, rightfully, mocking Riven for his stupid hair and not enough people dragging Brandon for this tragedy on his head

Musa: Hey love birds~! What are you doing? It seems we can't leave you alone for a second

Flora: oh leave them alone, they're so cute together

Stella: don't you two have something better to do? *Magic's a pillow at Musa's face*

Musa: HEY!! ARE YOU CRAZY!! I COULD OF GOTTEN HURT!!!

Brandon: Ha! You were three feet off the ground

Stella: Please. Be nice to my friends. I'm the only one allowed to torment them

Flora may be the mom friend of all mom friends, but Stella older sister friend reigns supreme

Sky really said as you wish, sir, did your tutor teach you that

There's nothing quite as cool as Stella teleporting mid battle

This music is so depressing

Magixs is going to have a very strong therepy industry soon methinks

EP 25:

How have they not saved Mirta yet?

Omg Musa is so sassy about helping Mirta

Daphne is so pretty 🥰

I feel so bad for what I wanna do with this scene, but tbh Daphne makes no sense in canon (with the way she just disappears after s1) so I think I'm justified

Bloom how are you breathing underwater

Anyways Charmix should of been it's one transformation

Magic Winx gets a cutesy theme, Charmix would get a more metal one (like the RF theme), and Enchantix would keep the hauntingly beautiful one it has

And suddenly BOOM Charmix transformation

Bloom is BACK BABY!!!

I can't believe they fridged Mirta for a whole season, that has got to be a crime

"don't be silly! I think I'll go for a walk."

Musa is so adorable and obvious about her crush. She tries to hard to not be like other girls, but in reality she's a blushing school girl though and though

Mirta being smug about them lmao

Stella: Riven!!! I think she's coming down!!!

Riven: oh god, oh fuck, I'm not ready—

This has got to be in Sky's top ten list for trauma, just the whole city dead

Tecna: must you always be joking Stella?

Stella: what do you want me to do! When I get serious I think of Bloom and I go nuts!

Tecna will always be bothered by Stella's main coping mechanism

"the children are beginning to show effects of battle fatigue" BEGINNING?!

The chairs are fucking dope, ngl, this is sick as fuck

So much time dedicated to Sky fighting this thing, not enough time dedicated to Sky realizing that being a cheater makes him a fucking dick, cringe fail writers—

Hey Bloomy! Your amazing as always

Bloom absolutely carried Sky all the way to Alfea. This is just a fact

Icy's number one weakness is her pride

FARAGONA YOU LYING LIAR WHY DO YOU NEVER TELL ANYONE ANYTHING

"Hello Chad. I was hoping to check in on you. Are you feeling better?" She grimaces slightly. Perhaps she'd been a little too enthusiastic about their mock battle. "I want you to know that I think you have great potential. Guts too, challenging a professor and trying to steal from a pegasus knight. Hm."

"I know you aren't one of my students, but I've seen you engaged in swordplay. Perhaps I could offer some tutoring or sparring. Gentle, training weapons only," Maybe that was too much. Elincia smiles fondly at him, recalling his creative use of battle tactics. "I could offer you practice at stealing from more agile enemies too. Without the counterattack to worry about whilst you practice this time."

"I'm sorry, I hope I don't seem condescending. I see great promise in you and a desire to improve - as a teacher I sincerely wish to see you blossom."

"Thank you for the challenge. I look forward to seeing your growth."

"I... Yeah," Chad sighs, nodding, looking exhausted despite having been knocked out early — Not from fighting, but from lending a hand in the med tent. For the record, he really, genuinely doesn't hold his loss against Elincia; Like she said, she was far more agile and sharper than most run of the mill soldiers and ruffians he'd had to face. His mistake had been underestimating her. A costly one, his mind insists, despite her prior reassurances.

(Haah, guts? What a joke. Maybe he's lost his edge? It's been two years, so why is wartime still baked into his limbs?)

And... He'd bat her offer off as classic adult condecension, but she's so... Sincere. Knows how her tone might sound. Keeps assuming way too good from him. Offers him practice so he doesn't repeat said mistake. Honestly, what is this? What's up with this professor that's so —

Oh. That's it. She reminds them of Father, how he nurtured them despite their shortcomings and let their strengths flourish as much he could with the means they had. They didn't know what he saw in them then, either, and they don't know what Elincia sees in them, now. Maybe that's why they cave, the corner of their lips twitching upward in attempt to return her smile. It's not quite there, but the perpetual furrow of their brow eases, brown eyes less hard.

"No, I appreciate it. You're right about one thing — I do want to do better. So I'd be happy to take you up on that."

They sigh again, before reaching into their thigh bag, pulling out a granola bar to offer to her; A clear sign, i'm not mad, i'll be fine. "And spar me again sometime, properly. I can do better than... That."

What We Do in the Shadows: The Grand Opening (4x03)

Sometimes I truly can't believe the shit this show actually puts out into the world. Madness, in the best way.

Cons:

I'm struggling to come up with anything I'd truly call a negative about this one! In terms of the comedy, I suppose I'll say that the scene with Lazlo and young Colin Robinson when they're robbing art from a museum was probably the least funny to me. The stuff with Colin has been surprisingly hilarious so far, but the repetition about the Legos, and Lazlo doing stunts with the lasers, it just felt slightly less inspired than most of the rest of the episode for me. Not bad by any means, though!

Pros:

But Colin's musical theatre references, and his performance at the end, saving Nadja's nightclub, was genuinely so funny. I love how Lazlo and Guillermo are essentially co-parenting this bizarre little nightmare together. Guillermo is offering him encouragement and being such a good dad, and Lazlo is trying to mold him into something he'll never be, until he learns his lesson about accepting his weird son for who he is. It's such a creepy uncanny valley sight, seeing that adult man's face on the body of a child, but it's cracking me up every second.

Nadja and the Guide have to convince their special musical guest star for the grand opening, Richie Suck, to come and perform, and get him away from his jazz-obsessed, over-controlling familiar-slash-manager. Fred Armisen is hilarious in the role of the familiar. The jazz trio, Nadja helping to get the rapper back on his feet after he's been away from the scene for a while, all of this stuff was pretty fun. I love how Nadja is good natured but also extremely determined to succeed; she'll kill who she needs to kill to make this happen. When Richie does ultimately take the stage, it's to try out his observational comedy, which doesn't go over well with the crowd. I was oddly touched by Nandor and Lazlo both rushing to Nadja's aid when the crowd turned on her, but of course it's Colin Robinson who saves the day with a little soft shoe.

There's also an entire subplot in this episode about Nandor using one of his djin wishes to get a bigger dick. This is one of those moments where I despair at the limits of my own abilities, because how can I write about this and explain to you how and why it worked and was honestly pretty hilarious, without just repeating the jokes at you? Somehow, against all odds, this concept, which sounds incredibly juvenile, it works. I mean, don't get me wrong, it is incredibly juvenile. But it quickly devolves into a negotiation where Nandor and Guillermo try and predict any and all loopholes the djin might throw their way in granting Nandor his wish for the biggest penis in the world. Guillermo manages to catch one of the potential tricks, by instructing the djin not to make everyone else's dicks smaller in order to accomplish this, which I thought was funny and clever.

In the end, though, in an absurd turn of events, Nandor ends up with a massive penis, and also the inability to ever use it without thinking about Guillermo, thanks to a slip of the tongue. It's... freaking hilarious. I love how he's apparently all grossed out by this, and Guillermo seems a little offended but mostly just kind of resigned. Like, he's truly reached a place of zen where Nandor's intermittent expressions of disdain don't bother him anymore. You truly love to see it.

So yeah, that's that! Another solid installment. I'd still probably say last week's two episodes were stronger, the jokes a little more clever and fast-paced and wacky, but this episode had plenty to laugh at, and I can't wait for more, as we find out if Nandor and his lady are able to make things work between them!

8/10

#review #what we do in the shadows #wwdits #wwdits review

[bellafragolina]

raihan's our big brother now ^^ //FINALLY FINISHED IT smH

"Hellooo viewers! Another vlog from yours truly," Raihan winked at the camera. "By the time this is up I'd be back at the gym but for today, I'm joined by-"

"THINK FAST, RAI!!"

The RotomPhone was sent into drone mode as it was thrown into the sky, the Galarian scrambled to catch your form which was already off the ground. The camera tilted up and then back down as you were caught by him, an 'oof!' escaping his lips while you grinned at Rotom. He set you down and faced it with an arm slung around your shoulder.

"Today, we're joined by my favorite challenger!" he exclaimed as he gave you a noogie, earning giggles and lighthearted protests from you. You tried to reach for his headband but it was just a bit out of reach, darned shoe inserts… you’ll get it next time. Huffing, you flattened your tousled hair and gave Rotom a peace sign.

“Hey everyone! Guess what we’re doing today?”

The footage cut to the two of you and your teams standing in front of your little campsite.

“We’re out in Hammerlocke Hills! Today’s weather forecast looked great so we decided that a day and night outdoors would do us some good.”

Raihan nodded as he hauled you up onto his shoulders, Rotom following after your screeches as you tried not to fall off of him. The moments you both spent searching around for curry ingredients were captured closely: clips of the two of you laughing and enjoying yourselves with terrible jokes; two of you trying to use your combined heights to get some ripe apples from the trees. There was no doubt that you were close, the many memories you made together accumulating to the point where fans made compilations for them.

Even during the small battles you had with the less-than-friendly ‘mons, he was always caught with his lips turned upward in what seemed to be pride. Pride, like an older brother who saw his younger sibling off to their first day of school. The expression never wavered one bit throughout the time you spent together, each smile brimmed with the emotion. Praise was mandatory after each victory, no matter how miniscule it was. You always flashed a joyful grin in return after, then went off to scour for more discoveries.

When you came back to him with a scratched hand, he fussed over it endlessly, even after you put a bandaid on it. Akin to a mother Dekagoose, he refused to leave your side until it fully healed. He kept asking if it still hurt hours later, especially when you two were cooking curry. You had to reassure him you could hold the ladle without dropping it before he relented. As much as you were grateful that he immensely worried for your wellbeing, it really was getting irritating!

"Raiii-! It's just a surface scratch! I'm gonna get mad if you keep this up, hng!" you pouted as you crossed your arms.

"Man, I got it, I got it! Don't get mad at me, [Nickname], I'll stop," he replied with a feigned sad tone.

But what really displayed the strong connection you two had could not be found in the filmed vlog. It would only appear when the time for putting on appearances ended and privacy finally blankets you, concealing away the ever-observant eyes of the public.

It was probably 1 A.M. when you stepped out of your tent, footsteps light as a feather as you trod on the grass to avoid stirring anybody awake. The moon shined down onto your skin softly, heightening your already sombre mood. A soft sigh escaped your lips into the chilly night, you curled into yourself to conserve some warmth. Just as you were about to brood to yourself, the unzipping of your companion's tent interrupted the would-have-been internalized monologue.

You let out a sharp exhale with mirth, of course he would be awake. The grass crunched as he made his way over, a slightly heavy weight rested over your shoulders when he took his seat. You feel your lips curl up as you huddled closer to the dragon type gym leader, basking in the warmth he emitted. His hand moved to gently ruffle your hair, you do not bat it away this time.

"A Pokédollar for your thoughts, [Name]? No need to divulge if you don't feel like it, I'll just stay out here with ya until you get sleepy."

He felt you lean against his side as you fiddled with your fingers, tapping them against each other and separating them. He waited patiently, noting that the bandaid you put on prior was gone and the scratch had dried up to seal off any unwanted dirt from contaminating it.

"I guess, I'm a bit tired," you started.

Cyan orbs scanned your face, indeed were there some dark circles that rested beneath your eyes. He huffed, his incessant reminders for you to sleep earlier had been dismissed. You chuckled, knowing exactly what he was thinking.

"Sorry, I tried sleeping earlier these days but- I don't know. I say I'm exhausted and despite that, something else weighs heavier to keep my mind awake."

Your Dynamax band that rested on your dominant wrist shined as you tilted it, you stared at the wishing star that sat nestled in the casing. The accessory was a symbol of your strength with your team and some sort of physical metaphor of your dreams.

"I've been perpetually chasing greater power and fame ever since I started my journey, yearning for the attention that came with constantly. That acknowledgement– I am very aware of its impermanence and short term lasting. Yet, nothing could replace it so I just kept on running after it, climbing pedestal after pedestal no matter how much it took out of me," you breathed as you recounted the many battles you've had.

"After coming to Galar, after spending time with all the wonderful people I've met and especially after meeting you… The motors that worked so hard to keep me running finally have a chance to slow down and only now am I really feeling the toll it took on me. You always look out for me and make sure I'm alright. How I feel whenever we spend time together isn't nearly as exhilarating as the sheer adrenaline that ignites my soul on the battlefield," Your vision became blurry as you felt tears roll down your cheeks. "But rather, a sense of security and contentment like sitting next to a hearth in Freezington."

The kindness he had– and continues to show you, the genuine concern and care, it had been a long while since you were given anything like it. The pep talks he gave you over your phone when you were at your lowest in the locker room, the frequent check up messages you woke up to every other day, the stupid matching hoodies you got together… You would never forget them.

"Y-you're…" you trail off, a little scared to admit it out loud.

"I'm..?"

He grinned expectantly, as if he already knew what you would say. You shot him a weak glare, your wobbly smile betraying your watery eyes. He elbowed your side teasingly, you shoved back just as playful. He fell over in mock defeat onto the emerald grass below, waving his headband like a surrender flag. You feigned a miffed expression as you flopped over onto him.

"You're like family to me, Rai."

"As are you to me, [Nickname]."

*weeping on the floor*

I love found family so much, and you’re checking my every box. The healing. The love. The fun. The sweetness. The ending. I’m crying so damn hard this so so so good. It’s everything I’ve could’ve ever wanted!!!

God, I can’t wait for what you write next. I’m so excited. Are you going to kill me with angst? Are you going to kill me with fluff? I’m so so excited to see what you have in store!!

Bravo!!!!

I Promised I Wouldn't Fall Asleep.

Characters: Suguru Geto, Self-Insert Word Count: 798

His soft, smooth voice spoke my name, barely above a whisper above my head but still I could hear him. I tightened my locking arm around his waist as I attempted to nuzzle my face even further into his stacked chest. We were as close as we could possibly be and yet, in my drowsiness I still greedily desired more of him.

"Ali." he spoke my name once more, a bit louder this time. Firmer.

I inhaled, taking in his natural vague earthy scent that's mixed in with the light floral scent that comes from our fabric softener and I let out an inquisitive hum.

His lips ghosted ever so slightly against my forehead, "You promised not to fall asleep on the movie if I let you lie there."

I gave him a gentle squeeze but I didn't budge from my place nor did I open my eyes. I recalled that promise. It'd been less than 20 minutes before but the chill of the room blanketed my body and his warmth from below balanced it all out. He was always such a comfort that it wasn't hard to find myself lulled by him.

I hummed again.

Apart from the movie playing in the background, there was a long silence before he let out a deep sigh. He must have been torn. We had been waiting for this movie for months, had this day planned for a week and we meant to experience it together. But this wasn't how he envisioned it.

"Here, I'll pause it. Let's rent it another day. We can just nap together instead." he said, and he tried his best not to let the disappointment bathing his words become obvious to me but I felt it.

It was enough to prickle my skin. I knew he'd been excited about this but this clearly meant more than I'd given it credit for.

"It's okay, Suguru." I yawned, rubbing gently at my tired eyes. "I'm sorry. I suck. Let's finish the movie, okay? I'll be good, promise."

He sank his head back into the sofa as he wrapped his free arm around me, "I don't know what to make of you and all your promises. You can't be trusted, Ali."

His tone was playful enough but we both knew he was only half joking. I brushed my hand along his chest, noting how firm his pec was beneath his sweater. Then, I pressed a kiss against it as I pet him.

"If I fall asleep this time, you have every right to be mad at me." I said, lifting up to meet his sharp eyes.

Suguru's large forearm pressed into the small of my back as he pulled me closer to him, "I'll just punish you." he said, no sign of jest on his pretty features.

"Fun." I smiled.

"You won't think so..." he snorted, attention shooting from me back to the movie after hearing some particularly intense dialogue. "Not with what I've got in mind."

My eyes trailed from his that were no longer on me to his lips which were slightly parted as he winded his sharp jaw, something he did when he's concentrated. I pondered over his last words and a chill passed over me. I felt the bumps rising over my flesh the longer I thought about it.

He was right.

When Suguru was on a mean streak, his punishments were anything but fun. At least, for a while anyway. He could be really cruel when he wanted to be.

All that over a movie? I thought as I rested my head back down onto his chest. But, I supposed I knew that it was deeper than that in the end. It was more about me showing that I valued his time just as much as he valued mine. It was about keeping my word. It was about showing interest in the things he cared about. It was all of that and perhaps a bit more that I was missing.

"Understood," I said finally.

"Be good," he said, his hand finding its way up into my hair so that he could massage my scalp- either knowingly or unknowingly contributing to the difficulty of my Stay Awake challenge. "I think we're half way there. The guy just found out what happened to his daughter."

I fought off a yawn and nodded into his chest.

I kept my eyes peeled, offering commentary where I could in an attempt to stay engaged with him and the movie until eventually I didn't have to force it. I was just as into it as he was and sleep became the furthest thing from my mind. It was a relief. How do you explain winding up on your boyfriend's bad side because you fell asleep during a movie anyway?

Landcaster Legacy Gen 7 Update #29 Part 1

Dear Diary, Tonight, is Lacy's play. I still don't know whether or not I should go to her play, or the gig Janie set up for the band tonight. I keep thinking what if this is our big break, then I remember Lacy's words. I'm young, I have plenty of time yet. I'm conflicted. -Violet

Violet decided she needed to talk it out with someone, and since Lacy had already left for her play, Violet decided to have a chat with her mother. She explained how badly she wanted to see Lacy's play, but also about Janie's ultimatum. Mads listened intently as Violet vented.

"I can't tell you what the right choice here is," Mads explained. "But have I ever told you about my ex-boyfriend, Whit?" "Only that he was a raging narcissist" "That's true, absolutely," Mads nodded. "My point is, he cheated on me multiple times, and I always forgave him"

"I'd always forgive him, because whenever I caught him cheating, he'd always say, 'but Mads, I love you. I promise I'll never do it again' and I believed him," Mads continued to tell Violet. "He was manipulating me, so I wouldn't break up with him"

"It wasn't until I met your father that I realized that someone who loves you won't try and manipulate you," Mads told her. "I think if Janie really cared about you and wanted to respect whatever choice you decide to make, she wouldn't have given you an ultimatum."

"So, I shouldn't go to the gig?" Violet asked "I think you need to make that choice yourself," Mads told her. "I won't be angry if you do decide to go to the gig, I just want you to decide on whichever choice makes you the happiest" "Thanks, Mom. I think I know what I want to do"

Meanwhile, Lacy was busy getting ready for opening night, and things were going less than smoothly. "Guys," Wade, the actor who was supposed to play Eli said as he began to fall to the floor in exhaustion. "I think the watcher, cheated my energy-" Everyone began to panic.

Jenna seized an opportunity. "You know since Wade is passed out Owen could go on as Eli, and then I can be stage manager" "Absolutely not," Owen said quickly "You wouldn't know what to do" "Oh please I just have to be all angsty and boss people around backstage, it's what you do"

"I don't know Eli's lines," Owen told her. "Sure you do," Jenna said. "I've seen you practice with Lacy." "Only once," Lacy cut in "More than once," Jenna retorted. "So it's settled, Owen let's get you over to hair a makeup and so I can make you look like a totally hot vampire."

"I feel stupid," Owen said to Jenna. "Just sit still," Jenna snapped. "You're going to ruin it." "But-" "If you don't shut up, I will slap you," Jenna told him in her most serious tone.

Owen had very little time to go over his lines before getting thrust onto stage as act 1 began. He was a bit nervous, but Owen had to admit, having Lacy there really helped calm his nerves, she was a pro at this kind of stuff.

Scene after scene began to blur together, and despite the rocky start to the evening, things seemed to be going extremely well. Before anyone knew it was time for intermission.

"Surprise!" exclaimed Violet after sneaking backstage during intermission. "It's your most favorite sim here to tell you that you're doing a great job, and the play is amazing thus far!" "Aw," Lacy couldn't help but grin. "Glad you're enjoying it. I'm surprised to see you though"

"Why's that?" Violet asked slightly offended. "Little birdie told me your band has a gig tonight," Lacy told her. "And by little birdie, I mean Janie made a post about it on social bunny." "Oh," Violet said. "Well, I guess I wanted to come to the play more." "That means a lot."

"Oh please, I'm a good sim deep down," Violet said. "Really deep down," Lacy joked. Both girls laughed, and Lacy pulled Violet in for a hug. "It does really mean a lot that you decided to come tonight, but I do have to change into my next costume." "See you after the show!"

[esc-is-holding-me-hostage]

some NF opinions

Decided that I want to post about NFs without reviewing each song like I did with Vidbir. Here's the first batch: Festivali i Këngës had several songs that I kiiiinda liked. Duje was not one of them. Në çdo hap, Vështirë, Kozmosi i dashurisë were the ones I liked, but not in a "I'd listen to it outside of ESC context" and more in "I would not completely hate it if they went to ESC" My favorite artist was definitely that one lady who did everyone's backing vocals. Special shoutout to 2 Farm for looking like evil Circus Mircus. Belgian Eurosong was probably the biggest disappointment so far. Not because the songs are THAT bad, but because Belgium is one of my favorite countries in ESC and their selection this year is just meh. We've got everything ranging from "Billboard hot 100 minor hits from 2013" (Hunter Falls) to "ESC 2011 non-qualifier" (Loredana). My pick would be Ça m’ennuie pas. Either of Gala's song and Oceanside are also ok I guess. Eesti Laul is mid as usual. Okay, maybe slightly better than last year. Tuju is the one I liked the most but it probably has less to do with the song and more with their awkward shtick in the MV. Tokimeki is cute but I'll listen to anything as long as it's in Japanese so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Venom seems to be one of the fan favorites and I tend to pick rock songs as my favorites in situations where there is nothing better, but not this time, sorry. It sounds like a lovechild of Three Days Grace and Nickelback and it is not even charmingly over-the-top edgy like Dark Side was in 2021. Benidorm Fest is alright. There is nothing outrageously bad, I'd give them that, but the selection does not feel as diverse as it was last year. Arcadia is 100% my favorite. The "might add to my Spotify playlist" kind of favorite, which is the highest praise I can give to a song. I have no hopes of it winning though. MESC and Selecția Națională are... dreadful. The songs are mediocre to very, very bad, and the production value, man... Romanian broadcaster did not even bother to release the songs so we have to make do with videos contestants filmed on their smartphones. Which still might be better than those awkward MESC videos. Like, at this point, when you have no remarkable songs and no money to make an entertaining show then why bother? Why just not go internal? MGP is, well about what you'd expect from MGP. Jowst's song is the worst excuse for a past contestant's return since Alexandr Rybak in 2018. She, Queen of the Kings runs to the hills, oh wait. I might like Elsie's and Eline's songs but I have to wait till the full songs are released to give my full judgment. Freya is fine, I won't be mad if it wins. Supernova is leagues, miles better than it was last year, but that's a very low bar to clear. Thank gods they've ditched the joke songs. Sway is my winner, no competition here. Inspo were my favorites last year and Sway feels like an improvement over Happy Place. Patrisha's song is also pretty good and I'm happy that the fandom seems to like both of them so maybe there's a chance that one of them wins. Weird trends I've noticed so far: neo-swing (Prohibition, Puppet, Guess What), drag queens (Skrellex, Sharonne, Greta Tude), Japanese... stuff. Artists, band names, song names, Slovenia's Joker Out has a very J-rock sound. Who knows, maybe we will see another Junko Enoshima cosplay this year.

[mostlyghoestly]

can i get the mf uhhhh slashers with a tall s/o ? i can’t stop thinking about lester in particular just resting his chin on my chest n staring up at me n having to lean down to kiss my lil rat boy <33333

Slashers with tall S/O

Authors note: I'll have Lester, Vincent and Bo Sinclair, Jason Voorhees, Micheal Myers, Stu and Bill (1996 Scream)—i support polly ghostface , and Brahms Heelshire. Not all of them will you be taller than them but still taller than others.

Lester Sinclair

Lester by no means is on the taller side. This man is actually about 5'7. With a tall significant other this man would look at you like you're some type of godly person. Lester wouldn't care much on having a taller significant other- although I believe in the beginning he'd be slightly insecure because of his brother Bo's jokes but after some talks that feeling would slowly go away. He'd like to do cute little things, no matter physical or with his words. Lester would most likely say something along the lines of, "Well at least I don't have to ask my brothers to get things off the top shelf for me anymore and I have a pretty sweet view." He said staring at your ass while getting something for him. One of your favorite things is when Lester has his arms around your waist as his chin rest on your chest as he looks up at you with admiration. You lean your head down and give him a big kiss.

Vincent Sinclair

Vincent, just like his twin, is a taller boy. Standing at 6'1, making him a lot taller than his brother Lester. He would absolutely LOVE a tall S/O. Let's start off if you were still tall but either an inch or two shorter or even his height. His back would thank you, this man spends HOURS hunched over with his work. To be able to have someone who is as tall as him he would be so thankful. Now if you were taller this man would be WEAK for you. Please he would absolutely do anything he could. He would most likely do the chest thing like Lester. You'd rest your head on his as he draws. He would absolutely make as much art of you as he could.

Bo Sinclair

Bo is also a taller man, he is 6'1 after all. No matter an inch or so shorter, his height or taller - this mad would make fun of you or reject his feelings. Deep down this man would absolutely do anything for you but he's way to insecure. After a long painful time, he'd get use to it. He would love it so much, you make him feel safe. "Hey, how's the weather up there?" He'd smirk at you. Bo isn't one for mushy gushy stuff in public but once in the safety of your guy's room, he's most definitely small spoon.

Jason Voorhees

Jason is a tall man, a whopping 6'5. Honestly I'd be surprised if you are taller then him. Jason honestly wouldn’t care if you are though, he’d just love being loved. The almost puppy like eyes this man would give you is an absolute wreck. Like how do you make this man, 6’5 and Built like he can move the empire state building with a single touch , feel like he’s so small is beyond him. OH THE SCRIBBLES ON PAPER YOU WILL RECIVE BECAUSE OF HOW CONFLICTED HE IS ON HOW HE FEELS ON A TALLER SO. “Shrink” and he would definitely push it in your face and dip. Although please don’t take it seriously , he will love you no matter your height.

Michael Myers

Michael is 6’2, which is decently tall. He honestly wouldn’t care on having a tall or taller SO as long as you knew your place. It also meant less work for him, like you’d be able to reach the top shelf too- so get the fruit loops yourself. Honestly he’d probably end up wondering what it would look like to other to have tall people standing over them. Michael would pat you on the head or use you like an arm rest when he can to make you feel smaller- not that YOU would want to feel that way but for HIM. In conclusion, Michael.exe has crashed.

Stu and Billy

These two are average height- with Stu being the tallest of the two at 5’10 and Billy being 5’8. Them having a taller SO wouldn’t phase them, well at least Stu. Billy although wouldn’t mind if you were in between stu or his height but anything taller would have a slight problem. Mostly personal  insecurities that obviously y’all will have a loving, meaningful talk about and he will disregard it after. The way these guys will rest their heads on your chest knock out is funny. They both end up loving having a tall significant other, now they can be lazy or act like they need help so their tall strong SO will help them.

Authors Note: Soo is finally discharged and this AU was inspired by it! 

"Fuck." You mutter a curse under your breath when you feel your lungs constrict and your vision blur. "Where the hell is Chanyeol?!" You hiss when another pang hits your head.

You were slightly drunk and you were at a stranger's house. Break-ups were never nice to you which was why you needed breaks like these. Chanyeol brought you to a classmate’s house who was having a large house party for the football team's victory. You were here with your cheer team too but this would've been more fun if you came along with Jongdae and Minseok.

As if on cue with your thoughts, you hear Dae's voice. "Y/N! Yeol said you'd be here!" You see him walk inside the crowded kitchen you were in.

"Daedae! Mini!" You slurred, making him and Minseok laugh. "You were having all the fun alone, huh?" Minseok teases you which you respond with a grimace. "He's here.." You were sick to the stomach at the thought of your ex again.

Junmyeon was a nice guy. He was the best boyfriend to you even. You had bo idea what went wrong that he suddenly broke up with you. But that was the thing with good boys, they will mess you up good because you never saw what you were getting in the first place. You'd think it's all rainbows and cuddles. It's not, Junmyeon proved you that.

Minseok gives you a red cup with booze inside as his way of comforting you. "Thanks." You wink at him and at his attempt of cheering you up.

"If I didn't know better, I'd be mad at Chanyeol for leaving you alone but I know he's probably making out with the house owner." Jongdae sighed, looking at you with pitiful eyes. "I'm okay, Dae. Y'all can hook up all you want but please drive me home after." You laugh at him.

"Who's the house owner?" You ask him, remembering what he just said. "You don't know? He was your lab partner in bio." Ah! Now, you remembered. It was Baekhyun, the golden boy. He was a guy like your ex, Junmyeon: straight As, student-athlete and school councilor. They were the kids your parents compared you to and you paled in comparison.

You couldn't imagine your friend, Chanyeol, being with a guy like that. He was perfect, Chanyeol fucked whoever he liked.  "Calm down. They're hooking up, not getting married." Minseok said before your drunken thoughts ran further in your head.

"God, why did I drink so much?" You ask them with a wince. Jongdae only sighed and looked at you with eyes full of pity once again.

"Stop with the pity, we came here to party." Minseok rolls his eyes at Jongdae and drags you two out of the kitchen and into the dancefloor.

The stench of beer and sweat clouded the air. The music was loud, making your head pang but your hips swing. Jongdae puts his arms around you and Minseok as you swam through the crowd with heads bobbing to the beat. It was a feeling you knew but longed for. The drunken euphoric feeling. It made you forget your ex was even here. 

"Wooh!" Minseok hoots while dancing to the music that was deafening yet comforting at the same time. You match his energy and let yourself loose. It has been a while since you've been this free.

You feel the alcohol get to you. You had the sudden urge to get out and breathe.

You eye Jongdae who was having a good time with Minseok. "I'll just get some air.." You point outside and they just nod.

You make your way through the dancing crowd and find the main door. You walk out and finally, you have the oxygen to inhale. "Ugh.." You groaned, cracking your neck.

Walking to the front porch, you see a number of partygoers here too. Just like you, they needed air too. You spot an unfamiliar man with a bottle of beer in his hand. You wouldn't have the courage to approach him if you were sober but you weren't. The booze Minseok brought have officialy kicked in and it's giving you confidence.

It was dark but it was obvious that he was handsome and buff. "Hey, I don't know you." You stupidly greeted him, making him laugh heartily. Doe eyes, heart-shaped lips, defined jaw, thick eyebrows. He wasn't just handsome, he was a lot of it!

"I feel the same." He jokingly answered you when you neared him. You mentally curse yourself at how dorkish you approached the good-looking guy. "What I meant was you're probably not from our school?" You tried to explain and he nodded.

"I'm long out of school, kid." You snicker at his nickname for you. It's not like you're a literal child! You were a senior and nineteen now. He talked like he was 70 too, when in fact, he looked barely 20.

He notices your sneer and he laughs again. He offers you his free hand and your eyes widen at that. "Kyungsoo." He says his name with a glint in his eyes. A naughty one, at that.

"Y/N." You shyly answered, taking his hand too. "Smoke?" He shows you a box of cigarettes and you shake your head at that. "I'm still buzzed." You smile at him and he nods, taking a stick to his lips.

He lights it singlehandedly and starts sucking some of it in between his lips. "What's a grown man doing at a high-school party?" You jokingly jeered at him, trying to get back at him with the 'kid' nickname.

"Picking up my brother." He chuckles in between puffs. "Isn't your brother a senior like me? Can't he go home himself?" You pry further. "Strict parents." He shrugs his shoulders nonchalantly.

You nod at what he said, running out of things to say. You really haven't seen him around despite your neighborhood being small. But you guessed it was because he was older and people around here left after high-school.

"Why are you out here?" He asked out of nowhere, cigarette still in his fingers. "Needed air." You breathe out and look at the empty sky above you.

"Wanna get out of here?" He says, tapping on his cigarette stick. You were surprised by his offer. It wasn't that you were unattractive but you didn't sleep around. You weren't the type to be asked to things like these.

He chuckles lightly at your shocked face. "What? You're gonna stare at my face the whole night?" He jokes, sucking his cigarette in for the fourth time. You didn't know what was taking over you but you knew you couldn't stop it. You were drunk and you were feeling a little hot. This handsome man wasn't helping either.

You inch towards him, the moment he breathes out smoke. You get on your tiptoes and kiss his perfectly plump lips, tasting nicotine and alcohol on them. Like him, it was addicting. The kiss was addicting.

You suckled on his bottom lip causing him to hold onto your neck. You hear him moan against your kiss and you smile at that. To tease him, you get back to your original height and stop kissing him.

"It's bad to tease a deprived man." He eyes you and the skimpy hot pink silky dress you were wearing. "Deprived?" You laugh at him. "I just got discharged." He smirks which surprised you. He was from the military? That explains why he's buff.

Unable to stop yourself, you get on your tiptoes to meet his lips once again. This time, he responds with much more fervor.

He throws away his cigarette stick and grabs your face in place with both hands. You groan against his touch as his fingers roam around the sides of your body. His touch drove you crazier and braver.

Without breaking the kiss, he guides you to his car and lets you inside. After a minute or two, he distances himself and starts walking to the driver side.

Your lips instantly felt the absence of his touch and it drove you nuts. You wanted him, all of him, now. The car roars to life as he started pulling out of Baekhyun's driveway.

"Weren't you supposed to pick your brother up?" You ask despite the growing hunger inside you. "He's a senior, he can go home himself." He smirks, mocking your question earlier.

You smile amusingly at how he's so charming. Well, he charmed his way into your pants in less than ten minutes. What did you expect?

The hunger inside you pushed you to be braver. You never did anything like this inside a car but you guessed there was always a first for everything. You bent down which surprised him.

You unzipped his pants and his 8-inch member sprung to life when you let it peek from his boxers. He was hard after one kiss? Well, he was right. He was indeed deprived. The reddish tip looked swollen as it twitched in your hands, begging you take it in.

Lust took over you and you let your tongue roll off its head. You hear Kyungsoo groan and it drives you crazier than you already were. You gather your hair and hold it yourself since he was driving. Your head bobbed up and down as your lips enveloped his cock.

"Holy shit." He speeds down the street as you let your tongue swirl around the erection. You smile as your tongue ran around it, making it harder for him to control.

His hips bucked as you taste his precum oozing. Salty, bitter but satisfying, you thought. He finally pulls up into a garage and the car stops humming.

He puts his pants back in place and drags you out of the car, his lips meeting yours as soon as you step out. "Jump." He growled. You obey him and interlace your thighs against his torso. He carries you inside the house and up to his room without breaking the kiss.

His hand rested on your bottom, alighting an unknown flame inside you. He throws you onto his bed and hovers above you after. You squirmed under his lustful eyes. You knew you wanted more. You wanted him.

You were on some unknown high the moment he tore your silk dress apart effortlessly. His eyes skimmed over your body like a beast eyeing his prey carefully and you, the prey desperate to be devoured.

You arch your back when his fingertips met your bra. His eyes were glued on your face and every reaction you made, his erection throbbed even more.

He ripped your underwear aggressively. You wanted to worry about what you will wear after this since your dress and undies were now ruined but lust clouded your judgment.

His hands roamed around your body and you whimpered like a cat in heat. "Fuck." He curses under his breath when his warm palms massaged your breasts. "Kyungs-soo." You stuttered while still squirming under his touch.

"What do you want, baby?" He growls, looking at you with dark eyes. "I-I want you.." You begged but he smirked. "Later.. I have to spoil this baby first." His teasing eyes left yours as he went down on you.

You feel his tongue flick your clit as if he was testing waters. You quivered at that contact while his hands still on your boobs.

His teeth grazed your wet pussy as you felt him smile against it. His hold on your chest even became tighter, making you moan and arch your back even more. "Sweet." He commented, licking his lips and making it touch your clit at the same time.

He ate you out while you squirmed under him, your fingers in his locks. You close your eyes when he starts pinching your nipples. "K-Kyungsoo!" You couldn't help but scream in pleasure as a wave of release washed over you. Your thighs trembled and your eyes roll back when you finally feel something come out of you.

"Kyungsoo, I want you. God." You breathe out as he starts teasing the tip of his dick against your throbbing pussy. He bows down to suck your nipples and you whimper for the nth time tonight.

He senses your need and desperation. Finally, he enters you which surprises you. Your eyes widened at the impact when he filled you up to the brim, making him grin mischievously. He starts thrusting slowly, feeling every inch of you inside.

He picks up his pace as he holds your thighs in place and his mouth still on your nipples. You moan repeatedly while he pounds you harder and harder. "Soo!" You scream when he started biting your hard peaks.

It doesn't take both of you long to come at the same time. He groans one last time as you feel his hot liquid fill you up.

He pulls out, juices dripping out of you making him smirk in satisfaction. He heads to his bathroom and take a shower as you unknowingly doze off in his bed, soreness and his scent enveloping your bare body.

-

Blinding sunlight woke you up. You flutter your eyes open and see an arm draped over your stomach. Kyungsoo, you remembered.

"Fuck.." You whisper when you spot your torn dress and underwear on the floor. You wondered what the hell you would wear now that Kyungsoo just destroyed everything.

Your soft voice woke him up. His face looked so much better under the sun that it did last night. If you didn't know better, you'd even think he was innocent and soft. Yet you knew how he rocked your world last night said otherwise.

He gets up, still in his boxers. "Good morning." His groggy voice was hot and you couldn't deny it made you feel something you felt last night.

"Good morning but first, what will I wear now?" You bite your lip nervously. He chuckles at your worried face. "Here." He gives you a black hoodie and grey sweatshorts from his closet.

"These are mine now?" You ask him while slipping them on. It was weird wearing clothes without anything underneath but you had no choice.

You open his door and get out of his room. "No, silly. It's an excuse to meet again." He growls in your ear which makes you giggle. He was flirting with you the next morning. This was more than just a one night stand, you thought.

"Have breakfast with me?" He brings your hand to his lips, kissing your knuckles. You smile at how he can be so sweet. "You aren't a deprived man anymore. Why let me have breakfast here?" You teased, earning a smile from him.

He goes up to you and kisses your neck as he leads you to his kitchen. His lips started darting upwards to your jaw and you couldn’t help but let out tiny moans. You were about to meet his lips with your own but someone interrupted.

"Y/N?" A familiar voice thundered from his kitchen. You whip your head around yet Kyungsoo stays unbothered, his lips still suckling your sensitive jaw.

"What the hell are you doing with my brother?" Junmyeon glowers, a smirking Kyungsoo teasing him. "Jun?" You ask with so much disbelief in your voice. You knew he had a brother but you had no idea who it was or where he was.

"Didn't your dumbass break up with her already?" Kyungsoo smiles as he snakes an arm around your waist visibly, eyeing his brother mockingly. "Yeah but-" Your ex wasn't able to respond when he was cut off by his own brother.

"Your loss, bro." Kyungsoo chuckles.

Prev / Chapter 1 / Next

The whole room went quiet at Prince Donghyuck's words, even his parents stood agape, Y/n herself was starting in disbelief mouth slightly open "Y-You're highness?" She asks "you've mistaken"

Donghyuck laughs and stands up, reaching to hold her hand "Really my love? Are you that mad?" He lifts her hand and kisses her knuckles softly, smiling softly and lovingly but Y/n knows that there was something underneath that charming smile "I know that you don't want the secret out yet but I can't just stand back as my parents force me to live someone else when the love of my life is right behind me"

Y/n still couldn't get over how Prince Donghyuck was acting and why was it directed at her "but My Lord-" she was cut off by a smiling Prince squeezing her hand a little too hard

"It's Donghyuck, my love." He says as a matter of fact "we've had this conversation before, remember"

She was still shock and Prince Donghyuck held her hand tighter, "play along" he whispered that even she has thought it was her imagination, in all honesty, she should've denied it, she should've said no but if she does the prince will be denoted as a liar so instead she nodded slowly and through clenched teeth "Donghyuck" and just like that a big smile graced the princes' nature "are you still mad at me my love?"

She was sure, she hated the prince, pf all the maids of all the people why her? She shakes her head, still staring at the prince

Prince Lee Donghyuck's parents stared in disbelief at the scene "For how long?" The queen spoke, looking at their intertwined hands "why didn't you say anything Hyuck?"

Prince Donghyuck's acting was on point, he made an effort to make it look like he didn't want to look away from Y/n and smiled sheepishly to his parents "turning two years on my birthday" He confessed, and looked back at her. She tried her best to not roll her eyes at the Prince's words "She was the one who told me to keep it a secret"

She glared at the Prince, Oh fuck you, she couldn't help but think, Prince Donghyuck smiled sweetly at her "Excuse me mother, your highness" he says and bows to Prince Jeno's parents "I would like to speak to Y/n privately" he motions and she bows to the King and Queen only to be dragged out by Prince Donghyuck

"Oh thank you" Prince Donghyuck spoke after they were out of earshot, readjusting his suit as he spoke "it was getting annoying on how they keep forcing me to marry" she still hasn't spoken, one cause she was speechless and two cause he still hasn't allowed her to. He looks at her with a raised eyebrow "speak, you're allowed to, you're my fiancé now"

"Fiancé but my Lord-" she spoke and he cuts her off with a "Donghyuck" and she shook her head "You're the prince, Your Highness." she points out and looks at the prince "I can't-You can't"

"And why not?" he asked looking at her, you do know there are hundreds of ladies who would do anything to be my bride"

She sighs and looks up at him "Than ask them, not a maid like me" he smiles amused "is that what you were worried about?"

"My Lord-"

"Donghyuck"

"My Lord, you are a prince, and your bride should be someone who knows how to be a queen someday"

"Tempting, but honestly I'd rather just marry you, I already made an announcement and you agreed, you could've denied"

"Then you would've been a liar!" she yelled and covered her mouth, bowing a full ninety degrees as an apology "forgive me, but I only thought of the royal families well being if you have been exposed, you're whole family would be in trouble"

He wrapped his finger under her chin so she'll look at him "Oh my love, You do know a little something when it comes to royalty"

She pulled away readjusting her dress and looked at the prince as he sighs and nods "Please, Its the modern age and my father is still worried he won't have any heirs, marry me and I'll make sure you, you're family is safe and will get whatever it is you all want"

Anger bubbled up on Y/n's chest at his words, does he actually think that she will agree by that promise? that she could be easily persuaded by money? Yes, it's tempting, she won't lie but not like this, she won't, She absolutely refused. "Do you actually think I can be easily persuaded by that?" her voice was quiet and The Prince looked at her in shock, in all twenty years of his life he has never encountered anyone, much less a peasant to tell him off, it was always Yes Prince Donghyuck, Whatever you say, My Prince "I'm sorry, My Prince but when we return to the kingdom, I will tell the King and Queen the truth" she replies and storms off and out of the room, taking long and careful steps to back to the dining hall, with the Prince at her heals trying to reason with her

"Y/n can't I attempt to make to change your mind?" He asked and grabbed her wrist pulling her so that she'll face him or even better fall into his arms

"My Prince-" she gasped in surprise at the tug spinning around only to collide face-first to The Prince's chest

"Oh my" Prince Chenle's voice was heard and he smiled at the sight "You and Hyuck Hyung are so cute" he gives a comment which made Y/n blush and shakes her head, pulling away from Donghyuck "No wait, Prince Chenle-"

And he just smiles approaching the couple and bowed politely at her "Please It's Chenle when there are no cameras," he jokes and takes her hand in his, pressing a polite kiss on her knuckles "Noona"

A blush covers Y/n's cheeks at the young prince's words "Your Highness-"

"Chenle" He corrects and grins, pulling away from her "Hyuck Hyung, I can't believe you're engaged, you should've seen the look on You're parents face" he slaps his hand in delight "And Lucas Hyung literally started choking when you left"

Prince Donghyuck was quiet as the younger spoke still holding on to Y/n's hand "You found it amusing?"

"No not really," He confessed "I wish the two of you have announced your relationship early, I would've loved to meet the new member of our family," he hums "what were you afraid of Noona? did we scare you?"

Y/n bows her head but didn't reply and Prince Chenle smiled softly "Don't be shy, we're family now" he says and walks back towards the dining hall, leaving Y/n alone with Prince Donghyuck

She looks down at where the prince has her wrist, pulling it away and taking a step back, bowing and following after Prince Chenle

Upon entering the dining hall with Prince Donghyuck behind her, looking at her from the corner of his eye

"Did you guys fight?" Prince Mark asked and stood up greeting Y/n with a kiss on the knuckles "Hyuck here looks like a kicked puppy" He leads you through the ball with Hyuck sitting on his chair

"Prince Mark" she murmured cautiously as he laughs and shakes his head

"Mark Oppa" he pats his chest and motions to every prince in the room "Lucas Oppa, Renjun, Jeno, Jaemin, Chenle, Jisung"

She shakes her head, not wanting to call them by their first name when all of a sudden Prince Donghyuck's Parents stood up and bowed. She yelped "No please your highness, don't bow," she says and shakes her head

"We're sorry, My Child" She spoke "It must be been uncomfortable when we spoke about Hyuck to get a girlfriend when you're here," she reached out to tuck a piece of hair behind her head "Forgive us for being selfish, and causing the fight between you and Hyuck"

She didn't reply in shock and bowed to the King and Queen just as Hyuck goes behind her, holding her shoulders to lead her to the seat "sit down and eat with us"

"Have you eaten, Noona?" Jisung asks as he takes a bite of his meal, he runs his fingers through his hair as he looked at the girl, cheeks stuffed with food

She shakes her head and everyone started ushering her to eat while she sat down on a chair beside Prince Donghyuck "no please eat, I'm not hungry" She looks around but there was no maid or butler around, this won't be an easy conversation later, and a sigh left her lips, playing with the steak In her plate

There was a chorus of whines and groans, ushering her to eat and that she shouldn't be so polite, Donghyuck on the other hand watched her play with her food. He started cutting his steak into small bite-size pieces, grabbing his plate and looking at her "let's exchange plates"

Y/n looked at him, "what?" She asked but it was too late, Prince Donghyuck has already exchanged their plates, the cut-up, bite-sized pieces for her and an untouched steak for him

"I already cut it up," he shrugged and smiled "it's yours"

As the room started to giggle and whisper with the conversation, Y/n took a bite

The room was quiet other than the pleasant atmosphere of conversation when Renjun spoke "Y/n" he calls making the female stand up on impulse, her head bowed and hands on her lap held politely, ready to answer to what the Prince might ask of her.

Her suddenness made the Prince Renjun stand up as well, thinking he may have offended her only to see her stance and smile "No, No" he says shaking his head and his hands "please" he motions for her to sit "I would just like to ask for a question"

She sits down and nodded "yes of course, how can I help?"

He smiles "How did you and Hyuck meet?" He asks with a slight tilt of his head

Y/n looks at Prince Hyuck and he looks back "at the palace" she answered factfully

"Aww really?" Chenle pouts "boring"

"How else would we meet? She is a maid of our kingdom" Hyuck replied and laughed moving to place half of his baked salmon on to her plate, in an outsiders point of view it looks like Prince Donghyuck affectionately giving half of his meal to his fiance, but in reality, Y/n knows that the prince doesn't eat salmon, being a maid into the family for years she isn't surprised anymore, she nods and takes a bite of the fish

Finally giving up, he returned to eating his meal while Jaemin pretended to be disgusted by the sight of affection in front of him

Prince Donghyuck and Y/n were walking in Prince Jeno's Family Garden, her hand out touch the petals of the flowers. The royals will be staying the night, Prince Donghyuck's parents have issued for their son and his fiance to stay in one room

"Is that how your future bride will be treated, My Prince?" She started and stopped to bend over and sniff on the Pink Camellias

"Yes, if you become my bride, my parents, my friends, will treat you like this, you your family will never worry when it comes to financial ever again"

"I'm sorry, your highness. But the world, or at least mine, doesn't revolve around that"

"Be my bride Y/n," He says getting annoyed at the lack of cooperation "I promise you, you won't ever regret it"

"No"

The One Where Eijirou Has Yet To Buy You A Gift, And It's Christmas.

Slightly Suggestive.

Edited: 12-9-2020

Eijirou shifted around on his plush bed before resting his head back into his pillow. He had half a mind to reach out for your warm body and pull you into him. He wanted nothing more than to feel you flush against him as he fell back asleep, but he hadn't wanted to disturb your sleep. His alarm was set to go off any minute now and he would have to get up, shower, and leave for his hero agency. You wouldn't be up for a couple of more hours, working from home due to having a lax job at a hero support company, all you had to do was make sure your daughter ate and got to school on time.

Eijirou waited for his alarm. He waited and waited. Five minutes, then ten, and then that ten transitioned into fifteen. Every morning he woke up right when his alarm was set to go, or even sometimes slightly before. Never had he woken up this much earlier. His eyes cracked open and light flooded into the bedroom blinding him. It was way too early for this much light to be peering in, usually, when Eijirou woke up, it was still dark out and the sun was just rising as he got into his car.

"Crap."

Eijirou turned on his phone to see the clock displayed eight. He had overslept. Overslept by a bunch. He was supposed to be to work by six. He quickly pulled the blankets from his body as he attempted to get up from the bed but the movement had woken you up. You rolled over as Eijirou tried getting up, your arms wrapped around his waist, pulling him closer to yourself as you nuzzled your face in his chest.

"Where are you goin'?"

Your voice was light and groggy, sleep evident in your futures as Eijirou looked down at you. He tried his best to detangle your arms from his so he could get to the shower. Once he had you detached from himself, he tucked you back in by wrapping the blanket around you. He kissed your forehead quick and softly before getting off and standing at the edge of the bed.

"Babe, we overslept. You work from home today, right? Go back to sleep, I'll email [D/N]'s teacher, say she's sick or something, but I gotta go to work."

"Silly, did you forget what today is?"

"It's Wednesday?"

You gave your husband a throaty chuckle as you tore away his work by throwing the blankets he wrapped around you off. You pulled yourself to your knees and crawled to the edge of the bed where Eijirou stood. You slipped your arms around his shoulders and buried your face in his neck, hoping to entice him into coming back to bed.

"It's Christmas Eve. Remember last month you told me you were taking today and tomorrow off?"

"It's not Christmas Eve, that's not for a couple more weeks."

"Nope! It's today. I guess you've been so busy it just flew right past you?"

Guilt flooded Eijirou's chest as he wrapped his arms around your form, making you closer than you already were, pulling you completely against him. He had been very busy. The holidays were such a busy month for the heroes. There was the holiday depression rush, and then the villains who thought pulling shit over the holidays would be smart due to heroes trying to be home with their families. He had been so busy, working early in the morning before you woke up until late in the evening. He had been so busy he missed dinner and he'd only see you briefly when he accidentally woke you from the sound of him coming to bed. Apologetic as all, but you'd reassure him it was fine, reassure him you understood.

It wasn't fine. It wasn't okay. You were his wife and he'd been neglecting you and his daughter.

"I'm sorry I've been so busy, but I'm all yours and [D/N]'s for the rest of the week. I'll make you both my special pancakes, and we can make Christmas cookies."

"Good! We've missed you so much, you and your pancakes. Mhm, I can't wait to sit by the fire together and exchange gifts."

Your voice was soft, more awake now as you pressed sweet, little kisses against his neck and cheeks. Guilt flooded Eijiirou again. He had been so busy he hadn't had time to buy any gifts. You usually did the Christmas shopping and slapped his name on the presents, but he still had to buy a gift from himself for you. He thought he had time after black Friday rolled by, he kept putting it off for the next day, weeks away turned into days, and days turned into Christmas Eve.

"You're gonna be so mad at me."

"What? If you say you need to pop in the office I'll pop your nuts, I'm not joking."

Your hands that were wrapped around his body tightened and you gripped his shirt hard as you could, a feeble attempt to keep him there despite the fact he could easily break free.

"I- I forgot to get you a gift... I can still get one, I'll run to the store really quick!"

Your hands loosened at his confession and your chest tightened. It did hurt that he hadn't gotten you a gift, it hurt that he hadn't thought of you when you so carefully thought out his gift. It hurt, but you understood. You understood that when he was fighting a villain, you were not on his mind. You understood that your husband had to spend his days making the world a better place to live in, he did it for [D/N]. You understood that when he came home late, he didn't love you any less, he was protecting you and [D/N]. He did it for the both of you.

"I'm not mad Eiji. It's okay, Christmas isn't about gifts."

"No, it's not. It's not okay, it's very unmanly. You're my wife, I should have gotten you something. You should come first, but I kept putting it off."

You pulled your face out of his neck and pressed your lips against his. It was a long, passionate, hard kiss. One fulfilled with longing and love. It'd been so long since you had time to properly kiss him. It'd been so long since you shared a kiss that wasn't rushed before he hopped out the front door, so long since you shared a kiss that wasn't a chaste, good night kiss.

"I don't need a gift. That fact that you're alive is a miracle. I watch the news when you're out there, and I worry somethings gonna happen to you. Just being here with me and [D/N], that would be enough."

"You're too good to me. Completely perfect, and amazing. I don't deserve you."

You placed another deep kiss against Eijirou before pulling away and looking at the clock. You gave Eijirou a mischievous smile as your wandering fingers played with the hem of his pants.

"While I don't need a gift, [D/N] is still asleep and I can think of plenty of ways for you to make up for it."

"I'd very much like to make up for my lack of gift and neglect."

[hiimsociallyawkward]

a servant of two masters

hi friends welcome back to me aimlessly ranting about merlin. up today we have 4.06 and this episode. wow. literally just the title gives me everything i need and i'm absolutley here for the chaos that will ensue. hi bestie @lady-ofmagic-andstars

i love them in their capes

i want a cloak

dude the 'oh it's not gonna happen' and then it happens trope is so dumb but i laugh every time

notice how the knights ripped off their capes

dude people are falling off of horses and out

MERLIN

ok ok but how is he injured. ik this is rated for kids but i really dk how badly merlin is injured. it looks like just his shoulder but he shouldn't be almost dying like his yk?

:,) arthru making jokes

ok but i love arthur taking care of merlin

alskdjflsadk them trying to make jokes to make each other feel better :,)

stop arthur. stop telling the truth merlin's not dying here 😭

bestie vibes only deadass

HAHA

a s s

side note, the site i get my screenshots from- this picture has 61 views while others average maybe like 10-15?? perverts HAHA just kidding

sok i'm actually really curious as to what merlin's injury is

alsdjf;lasdfjsaldfjsaldf merlin making the rocks fall

idk if it's jut the angling but i felt like the enemies were way too close for merlin to create an entire rock barrier. i don't have any screen shot evidence but so you're just going to have to take my word for it

ok but like who even are these men. they were working for morgana trying to capture arthur?

and what's morgana going to do once she has arthur? kill him and take his place on the throne? remember how well that turned out last time she tried that? no one wanted her. idk idk morgana is just confusing as to what she wants

pls die agravaine

haha strangely fond of the boy? there's nothing strange about it

ok i laughed but i also felt bad when morgana splashed merlin awake and flailed around like a fish

dude merlin is so snarky here and i'm HERE for it

ok i like the knights being competent. thank you thank you

and now they're riding back into camelot with their capes on? you're telling me they traced back their steps to find their capes, dusted them off to make sure that they weren't too dirty and didn't have any leaves or branches still sticking to it before riding back to camelot? iconic

poor gaius. ok he's the worst but he does think of merlin as his son and this makes me sad

ok i have a dumb question. do you think merlin understands whenever other magic users are casting spells? ok i feel like this is a dumb question now. but like, is magic a language? are all incantations in a different language, so when other person who knows magic is watching you- they know what you're trying to do and such? i feel like "of course they'd know" but i'm basing that assumption on hp where everyone knows that alohomora is alohomora and where everyone knows that lumos is lumos. but what about here? does merlin know what she's incanting? can he slightly understand it even if he's never seen/done it before? is magic a language like latin, and even if you aren't completely fluent, you and parse together things and make an assumptions?

arthur is just so sad here

i just, i have to have these here

yes bby figure out that we have a traitor

gaius is not slick in the slightest. yes. look at the traitor king

wow morgana being able to bond with the snake? i wonder how

ok question, does the fomorroh have some sort of loyalty to whoever calls them?

✨kill arthur pendragon✨

ok that snake going in his neck is actually scary

pretty castle counter: 5

btw this is actually my zoom background sometimes. it depends from call to call but it changes between this pretty castle and peeta mellark

G E O R G E

ok i've seen all the tumblr posts but it doesn't get less funny. the 'merlin's missing and we can't find him so we're going to replace him with another manservent dressed EXACTLY like merlin so arthur feels better' makes me chuckle every time

i would like to have that for breakfast

i like the loyalty arthur thank you. i love the loyalty pls. i love that they're friends. like, i love the romance but i love just people being friends too

ok this whole scene. arthur wanting to look for merlin because he has to at least try, gwen just wanting arthur to be careful and to come back to her, gwaine being buds. i love all the friendships in this and just yes thank you

ok ok ok ok ok ok ok ok i'm not at the hug scene yet but i know it's coming and i'm beyond excited

ok this sound track is so cute.

saldkfj;asldkfjasldkfsd

matching icons for you and your best friends

deadass if someone wants to change their tumblr icons so we can match hmu bc i'm 100% down with that

another pretty castle scene

SASSY MERLIN PLS

ok ik this is dumb to comment on because i feel like it's not tremendously hard to execute but i love the differences that colin made in regular merlin and fomorroh merlin. it's the best

they say it later in the episode but i find it hilarious how bad of an assassin merlin is

dude pls you're pouring poison in front of EVERYONE else?

BOG MAN. ok guys i'm calling you guys bog mans now.

ASLDJFALSDFJS THE JEALOUSY SCENE

i am cringey but laughing at the same time you don't understand why am i this childish

ok but arthur is being so sweet right here. i feel like he's not trying to be showy in front of gwen, i feel like he wants merlin to rest and that's so sweet. he's so patient right here and i love him

i miss the gwen and merlin friendship actually

dude merlin is roasting gaius so hard today

leon geeking out over weapons is so cute. omg he's such a tiny nerd i love him

laskjflasdfj THIS SCENE. this makes up for the stew jokes that i may or may not still be mad about

i love that the knights LITERALLY turn a blind eye it's actually hilarious

LOOK AT MERLIN BEING COMPETENT?? HE'S SO SMART WITH THE ARROW RIGGING THING

it's literally treason leon pls and you're laughing you're the best 😭😭

i wish we had a pervical back story arc

ok i think it's dumb that i laughed when merlin ducked but i stand by that

ok why do i feel bad for arthur a little. he's talking abt some semi-deep stuff. not deep deep but like, he's trying to ask for advice from his friend, his close advisor. he would've never talked to merlin like this is season 1-2 but here he is, talking about trust. and MERLIN is trying to MURDER HIM. yes. i admit it's a little funny when i'm just watching merlin trip over things and such, but when i listen to arthur talking i feel slightly sad

literallly. merlin's passed out on the floor and arthur doesn't even think anything is wrong

gwen's face when she knocked merlin out is so cute

oop. why is arthur standing in agravaine's door way like an absolute robot

cyes arthur. figure him out

i hate agravaine. i just want arthur to be happy. he's only trusting agravaine because agravaine is family.

stfu agravaine 'you're all that's left of my dear sister' SHUT THE FRONT DOOR

ok there's a repeat of the castle from earlier but i'll spare you

pls this bath scene is so awkward. tt not being able to trust anyone anymore and we're laughing at merlin but arthur's talking so sad and deep

pls this bath scene is so awkward. that's all the notes i have

again, i miss gwen and merlin

merlin is MONCHING on those berries. i'm craving berries now

ok but like. yk that pouch that gaius is using to make the forromoh dormant? what if merlin tucked it in his neckerchief as a precaution. i'm just saying.

aslfkjasdaskdjf the tavern

yall why did merlin have to stop his horse to drink the potion

i want the knights to have a cool band name or smth yk what i mean?

i like that merlin is still a little in the camelot red. it's not the same shade but yk what i mean

HAHA LEON AND PERCIVAL BEING PUSHED TOGETHER. I JUST KEPT ON SCREAMING SUBTEXT SUBTEXT

damn morgana wants RESUKTS. i dont blame her

the frist interaction with merlin and morgana in the hut is so awkward. pls.idek how to comment on it

deadass morgana's dress is so pretty.

magic fight! magic fight!

stfu 'rightfully mine' pls

hehe there's a leaf in his hair

ok i feel like i should've commented more on the magic fight but idk bro

so ik that colin was in this whole episode but it really only just now feels like merlin is here and i think that's fun

arthur is the cutest. i'm loving this dynamic you have no idea. i live live live live LIVE off banter. pls
