Overly Cautious
Tumblr media
Prompt: Katakuri comes back from a mission to learn you're pregnant despite never wanting to be a father.
Requested by anonymous
Katakuri X Fem Reader
Katakuri had been sent on a mission to retrieve something, leaving you alone, having you stand in as the Minister of Flour while he was away. Everything was going well; you had done this plenty of times in the past. But some of the workers had noticed you not eating as much, you’d wave them off without a concern. The concern really came when a cake was being made and just the smell of it made you want to vomit.
         You couldn’t hide it from anyone, you were in the middle of a meeting about the upcoming tea party and what pastries would be served. Everyone forced you to see a doctor, no one wanting to deal with the wrath of your husband if he got back to find you sick.
         And that’s how you ended up in the ward, a doctor running tests and looking you over. Much to your dismay numerous curious eyes also making sure you wouldn’t leave this forced appointment. “And when was the last time you were sexually active?” The question threw you off guard, nearly spitting out the tea that you had been allowed to drink.
You’re face burning red as you whip your head around to look at those who had forced you here. None of them dared to make eye-contact with you, some whistling while looking off in a random direction. They tried to protest when you kicked them out, but you refused to discuss such things in front of so many people. Once the door was finally closed the doctor, who was not too amused asked the question again. “It’s been a little a while, 7 or 8 weeks I think,” Thinking back to the last intimate night you had with Katakuri, he’d been so busy lately that it’d had been longer than normal.
The doctor wrote some notes down and continued with other questions before doing some blood tests. You sat back, expecting this to be a simple flu. That would give you a headache, you’d be forced to bedrest as to not spread it and not slow down progress. The doctor padded his way back into the room, flipping through the papers reading the results of everything he had tested for. “Well, it seems as though you’re pregnant.”
         You took the rest of the day off to think about things. Katakuri had adamantly told you he didn’t want children. He didn’t want to pass down his genes in fear of what could happen, you understood his concerns and agreed to not try. And while you were sexually active, contraceptions were used at every avenue, Birth Control, Condoms, Spermicide, even a Plan B if there was a thought of something going wrong.
         Katakuri would be getting back from his mission in a couple days, so it’s best to just wait until then. Can’t be announcing things like this. As much as you’d prefer to sweep this under the rug, Big Mom was someone who didn’t partake in abortions, wanting a large family and everything, it’d be counter-productive in her mind. So as much as you wanted too, you’d have to go to a different island, and that included having Katakuri with you to avoid Big Mom’s gaze.
         But your plans changed quickly, despite clearly telling the Doctor to keep the news secret, the next day you arrived to the office with banners and some tastefully small cakes. Cards going around with small gifts as though it was common place to celebrate so early on. You tried to get them to calm down, but everyone was overjoyed that their leader finally had an heir on the way.
~~~
         Katakuri stared off into the distance, leaning against the wall as the ship got closer to their homeland. It had been a pointless mission, delivering a letter to a foreign country, demanding there be talks of a marriage. He hated being away from Komugi island for too long, from his normal job as the Minister of Flour. There he’d at least be able to relax a little bit more than normal, and when he was with you, he could let his guard down completely. Trusting you to cover for him or tell him if someone was coming. Being on a ship where he refused to lay down in fear of prying eyes had taken a toll on him, no matter how short the trip was.
         As the ship docked some of his administrators found him, happy as ever with large smiles. He wasn’t listening too much to their words of congratulations, assuming it was just words on finishing the mission, he just wanted to make it home so he could finally sleep on his back.
         As he was bidding farewell to those around him, one of them said something rather confusing, “Ah, tell Y/N that the mid-wife will be around to talk to her next week. I forgot to let her know earlier.” A mid-wife? For his Wife? Katakuri swallowed the lump in his throat, reasoning that it had to have been due to some unforeseen baby boom in the town.
         But as he passed through the halls of his home, he noticed servants scurrying about more than normal. All with excited faces, some with parcels in their hands. It wasn’t until he got to your room pushing the door open to see you sitting at your tea table, a hand rubbing your forehead, “If it’s another gift then send it back. How many times do I need to tell you all to keep this quiet.” Your tired voice brushing past him while you waved your hand, not even looking in the direction of the door.
         You heard the door close and let out a heavy sigh, looking to the already inconvenient pile of baby toys, clothes, and furniture that people of the island had pushed onto you. Nobody in this god forsaken town could keep quiet, which would make things so much harder, if Big Mom got word of this, you were more than certain you wouldn’t be able to pass off a random miscarriage without her knowing the truth.
         “What is all this?” You jumped a bit, hearing your husbands voice. You never even got word of his arrival to the island, much less that he had already come home.
         “We need to talk.” You voice was serious as you looked over at him, he was staring down at you unmoving. “Why not sit down?” He stayed still, crossing his arms for an explanation and you sighed again, this wasn’t normal for him, but you were already too tired to deal with it.
         Your sigh caused Katakuri to take another step further, “I get that you must be doing some fundraiser or gala. But you shouldn’t have these donations in here.” You spit out your drink, looking up at you’re normally smart husband.
         “Excuse me?” The silence as he stares at you hit you hard, “You think I’m doing a fundraiser? And you think all these stupid things are donations? Is that really what you think?!” Your annoyance peeking through clearly. First the news got, then the storm of gifts, and now even your husband seems to be getting on your nerves. “Katakuri I’m pregnant.” You shake your head, stating it out right was best in these types of situations, “So, might I suggest you sit down so we can talk abou-“
         “Your idea of a joke is awful Y/N,” He walks over to the neat stacks of gifts, all of which you were sending back when you got the chance, “I mean really? You think staging some baby items is enough to convince me? This prank is in bad taste.” His regal voice showed no sign of joking and it made you more frustrated than you already were.
         “This isn’t a joke,” You were getting another headache but the subtle glare he shot you made it clear he wasn’t going to listen, “You know what? You just got home, why don’t you rest? I’ll send these gifts back in the meantime.”
~~~
         The next day Katakuri came to his office looking a little more refreshed and prepared for the day. He sits down in the confines of the space and starts looking through the reports, “It seems you fell a little behind while I was away. Why?” His smooth tone showing you he was ignoring everything you said the day prior.
         You had expected something like this to happen so you put the paper with the test result in front of him. “You’re lovely administers made me go to the doctors after some sickness.” His eyes scanned the paper, reading every detail until you could tell he landed on the prognosis. “I’m about 2 months along.”
         Katakuri sucks in his breath, you can tell by the twist of his eyebrow that this isn’t going to be fun, deciding to sit on the couch while you wait for his response.
Honestly, you barely had time to process this all yourself, being pushed and pulled everywhere by workers. The only time you had time to think for yourself was late at night when people thought you’d be sleeping. The first night you had spent just staring into the darkness that was the room trying to figure out the situation. Truly, you could relate to what Katakuri was probably going through.
         You two never planned on being parents. You vehemently discussed avoiding parenthood the natural way, maybe adopting if you’re mother-in-law became pushy. The thing you wanted most right now was a glass of whiskey, but for clear reasons you couldn’t get one. Your body felt so tense since finding out, your muscles aching from the lack of relaxing.
You were hoping that your husband would be the one to make sense of it for you, but seeing how he’s reacted so far, he was in the same boat as you. It stung, your heart dropping slightly as you put on this front of neutrality. But it was the best you could do, if you didn’t maintain this semblance of control over yourself, you felt like you’d break down.
Finally, your husband spoke, although his words didn’t make you feel any better. If anything, it caused you to go further into the downward spiral that was your mind, “Well then whose is it?” His voice was dipped in venom but maintained a single tone, “If you wanted a kid so bad, we could have adopted.”
You bit your tongue, staring at the floor in front of you. He waited a couple second for a response but you couldn’t bring any words to come out before he continued, “You didn’t have to go behind my back like this.” His even tone made every muscle in your body tense more than they already were.
A knock at the door caught both of your attentions, yet your body was still tightly wound as you got up, opening the door to let whoever it was in. Someone with a bunch of papers and a wide smile looked back at you and you ushered them in while brushing your way out of the suffocating room.
Offering small smiles to those you passed as you hurried away from the situation. It was only after you had gotten to a small reading room and locked the door behind you that you slid down onto the floor. Your room was too far away and this was unused enough that no one would come looking here. A hand pressed against your stomach while the other tangled itself in your hair, gripping tightly to feel anything other than the heavy emotions that have flowed through you for days now.
You haven’t let anyone know of your own feelings on this matter, other than wanting to keep it on the down low, everyone assuming it was so you could Katakuri yourself, and yet somehow that one single voiced wish hadn’t come true. The entire island singing praise and you were the center of their attention.
You began panting, your throat swelling up making it hard to grasp at air, feeling your body start to shake. Even Katakuri wasn’t willing to listen. This has to be a lot for him, but I thought he loved me. Your body curling in on itself, the hand in your hair running down to grip at the back of your neck while your nails dug into your stomach. He even suggested I had cheated on him, found another man. The thought itself made you sick to your stomach, your heart beat drowning out any noise around you, and eyes squeezing shut as the world got darker around you. Am I just an object to everyone? You tried, and failed at opening your mouth, attempting to get any air to fill your compressed lungs. The beating of your heart the only reminder of that you were in fact alive.
~~~        
         Katakuri was walking down the hallways. Every time he passed someone who worked with you, he’d ask the same questions. All of them similar stories that made his heart twist with worry, and yet when he went looking for you, you were nowhere to be found. It had been hours since you disappeared from his office without a second glance, the thought of how you left was now hurting him, now that he’s had time to calm down and truly think about everything.
         Since no one could find you, he was the person that people were bringing presents too, all of which he ushered to be sent wherever you had put them, some people asking if he had seen you so they could ask more questions. He hadn’t even been back a full day and yet he was overwhelmed with so much. Stalking back to your bedroom, assuming that could be his one quiet place, maybe even find you again to try and have a conversation about everything.
         His heart jumped into his throat thinking about it, you had been trying to talk to him this entire time and each attempt was met with malice. You were so patient, letting him voice his hate and distrust. Watching you sit on the couch silently, neither confirming nor denying allegations said to you, though your knuckles turned white in your lap. But what else could he think? With every safeguard the two of you had put into place, how else could you had ended up with a child growing inside of you? Walking into your shared room he looked around, the pile of gifts in the corner seemingly doubled in size from previously in the day.         
Yet still, there wasn’t a sign of you anywhere. Katakuri paced a bit, looking for any sign that you had been here after leaving him earlier. But there wasn’t a single thing out of place or used compared to this morning. The realization that no one has seen you for most of the day hitting him with a cold sweat as he calls for security

When figuring what yami kawaii is about he is very intrigued he doesnt understand that most fashion trends/styles have true and nice meanings such as bringing awareness to mental health
He doesnt really understand why someone would dress outwardly “different” but that doesnt mean he doesnt think it looks good
He’ll get you little gifts of accessories, shoes, skirts, dresses, etc on random occasions

Savannaclaw (Gyaru)
Gyaru was started in the early 2000s as a movement against japans beauty standard on women, they instead of staying pale and modest tanned and wore all the less modest and bright clothes they wanted! Styles like mamba and ganguro were started by girls who liked the movement while a style, kogal, was started by rich highschool girls who could do whatever they wanted.
Tumblr media
Leona Kingscholar
I know i keep saying this but leona does not give a shit what you wear
He does admire the effort you put into your appearance everyday, plus your a girl so he already has a ton of respect for you
If you are more a extreme style gal he may think its a little bit of an eye sore but he still thinks its good that you can express yourself despite others opinions
If you have a more toned down style then he may not even expect you were a gyaru (if he even knows what that is 💀) probably just thought you were some popular girl but doesnt even say anything

He’s interested in how it started and less about the actual makeup and outfit part of about it, but that doesnt mean he doesnt care about it.
Octavinelle (mori kei)
Mori kei tends to keep a more natural and forest like color Palette, the style focuses on layers and they try to add as many layer they can!!

BRAVEST FACE
Tumblr media
pairing: matt stone x f! assistant reader
summary: matt invites you to go on a mini vacation (fifth part to circumstances)
genre: fluff
word count: 1026
cw: legal age gap although nothing happens....yet
author's note: i’m sorry
if you haven't read the first part check it out here: "CIRCUMSTANCES"
It was now Thursday, despite it being apart of your job, you and Matt would hardly say a word to each other when you'd go into the office. He would just give you a list of things to do in exchange for his coffee, and then when you were finished, he'd send you home. Normally when he'd send you home you'd object but it was different now. Anytime you exchanged glances, the kiss would replay in your mind. The feeling of his lips against yours.
You sat on your couch, watching some random show from Netflix you decided to put on. You just started it and weren't paying much attention because all you could think about was Matt. He kissed you. That was the key thought through all of this. You had thought about kissing him, but he was the one who kissed you. Who knows what could've happened if Trey hadn't knocked on the door?
You jumped from the sound of your phone ringing as you looked down to see the called ID was the man himself. You hovered your finger over the answer option, knowing it could be important but could you bring yourself to have a conversation?
You slowly answered and lifted the phone to your ear, "Hello?" Matt let out a small sigh from the other end before speaking up, "I have a business trip to go on. I need you to come with me."
Your eyes widened softly at his comment, expecting him to at least say something. "A business trip? Where?"
"Colorado. Trey and I have to go to Casa Bonita for a soft opening event. It's kind of like a test opening with just a few people. Most of the crew will go, but I wanted you to go. With me."
"With you?" You repeated the words to him, and he chuckled slightly, "Not with me. But like with me."
Your voice dropped a little bit with disappointment but you tried to mask it, "Oh yeah. Um..yeah I can do that. It's my job after all." You sat up more straight on the couch, pausing the show on the TV before Matt started talking again, "Okay well..be ready by 8am tomorrow morning. The opening is tomorrow night and we're leaving the day after that. But I wanted to give you time to do a little sight seeing and maybe some shopping before we went to the opening. If that works for you?"
You nodded before responding, "Yeah that sounds good. I'll meet you at the airport by 8?"
"No it's alright. I can come get you if you're okay with that."
"Yeah that's fine. I'll be ready by 8 then."
He said his goodbye before hanging up, the silence resonating in the room. You didn't know how you could handle being on a plane with him for a few hours, and you especially didn't know how you would handle going to an event with him, and everyone from the office as well. But the best you could do was put on a brave face and do your job. Right?
———
The next morning you finished packing up the last few things you needed before receiving a text from Matt saying he had arrived right at 8. You took a deep breath as you looked one last time in the mirror before grabbing your small duffel bag and leaving the apartment, locking the door behind you. You took the elevator down to the bottom floor and walked slowly to Matt’s car, each step feeling heavier as you got closer. When you arrived at the car, Matt was waiting outside with the trunk open, and helped you put your bag next to his before you both got into the car.
The car ride to the airport was quiet, and the air felt so heavy you thought you were going to choke. It was even worse than the night Matt picked you up from the bar. At least while you were riding in silence he was glancing at you, now he just kept his eyes on the road as he held the wheel with both hands, not even bothering to drum his fingers to the music. You took a deep breath, hesitating to speak, break the silence, maybe just get the air cleared before you arrived at the airport. Maybe fix things.
“Are we going to talk about what happened?” You squeaked out, barely making it above a whisper. Matt glanced at you before turning down the music, “Hm?”
“Are we. Going to talk. About what happened?” You asked, louder now. Matt thought for a moment, keeping his eyes on the road, his fists tightening slightly on the wheel, “What do you mean?”
Your eyes widened slightly at his question, “What do you mean ‘what do I mean’? Are we gonna talk about Monday? What happened on Monday?”
Matt shrugged, “I don’t know what you mean. When you got sick and had to leave early?” He told you, continuing to stare forward at the road ahead. You felt your stomach drop to your ass as he said this, he wasn’t actually serious was he?
“What do you mean I got sick?”
He chuckled slightly, “Well you were looking at the paperwork, and then Trey came in, and then you said you weren’t feeling well and left.” He glanced over at you, his face serious.
“So nothing happened between us?” You asked, not believing what he was saying. He fucking kissed you, and now he’s acting as if nothing happened. Like his tongue wasn’t down your throat. Like it was something you should forget about.
He’s shook his head while shrugging and you frowned slightly before turning to look out the window, placing your fingers against your lips softly, “Oh.”
You kept silent as you continued to ride to the airport with Matt, his music continuing in the background. You didn't know what to say or what to do. He was acting as if the kiss didn't happen and despite how much you wish you could've done the same, you couldn't. You just...couldn't.

Word Count: 2351
WARNINGS: Burnout, Depression
Y/n’s POV
I remember when I thought that scraping my knee or falling off my bike was the most painful thing in the world, but I know now that I was very wrong. What hurts more than anything in the world, is feeling truly alone. Like you’ve been cast out to sea, and all you have is the whispers in the back of your head to stay sane.
All I can manage to do is lie in bed all day, wasting away while the world around me carries on. The sound of rain outside pelting the window only adds to the hollowness that I’m feeling. Everything felt like it was falling apart, I was being ghosted by my closest friend, everyone else moved away to college early, and doing any small thing felt like the most exhausting task in the world. Not to mention that my parents were currently several states away for work.
And as I was contemplating my depressing thoughts, I felt a slight vibration from my phone that was somewhere under my comforter. I sat up and rummaged around my bed in the dark searching for my phone. Eventually I found it and unlocked it immediately, being blinded by the screen as I did so. I scrolled through my notifications and instead of finding a new message from Nick, I found that my health app was reminding me to drink water. I wasn’t going to.
I opened my messages and I immediately saw the words I dreaded seeing beside Nick’s contact. “Read”.
I’ve been left on read again... 63 messages in the past month, and Nick hasn’t replied to any of them. I don’t even know why I feel surprised, I knew what the outcome was even before I sent it.
Nick, do you wanna hangout on Friday? (2:37 Pm 7/23) Read
Hey, I haven’t heard from you in awhile, how are you? (3:13 Pm 7/30) Read
Nick, I’m worried about you, please msg me. (12:04 Am 8/12) Read
Did I do something wrong? (9:13 Am 8/18) Read
Can you just tell me why you won’t respond? (8:15 Pm Yesterday) Read
I laughed a bit as I scrolled through our messages again. I knew he was busy with his career, that it was important to him. I just never thought that I would be thrown away for it.
Nick was my best friend. We grew up together, we watched each other go from things like dinosaur phases to graduating highschool. It feels like a part of my life is missing without him, but I can’t let it get me down forever.
I know that it’s raining, but I could go outside. I need some fresh air.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Nick’s POV
It was raining outside when Y/n texted me, it feels like forever since I’ve seen him. Part of me feels guilty for not reaching out, but the other half feels like it would shatter if I saw him again. I walked outside towards the van joining my brothers, trying hard to ignore those lingering thoughts.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Y/n’s POV
I just let myself walk, taking random turns every now and then. The slight drizzle and breeze wasn’t horrible, but still annoying nonetheless. It just feels like everything distant… Like I’m watching everythings happen from an outside perspective. The dozens of cars driving by, people waiting at the bus stop, groups of friends walking around together… The world seems so alive, and yet I was just a bystander to everything that was going on.
It was exhausting. The mental strain, the emptiness that always followed… I was tired of it all. I just wanted to feel normal again, but how could I do that when a part of my life feels like it was ripped apart.
Eventually I ended up at one of my favourite places to hangout, at least I used to. I don’t even know when or how I got here. I thought that I was taking a random route, but maybe I subconsciously brought myself here. Kelly’s Diner, the place where Nick and I used to spend hours just talking to each other, laughing obnoxiously as the hours drifted by, up until they were closing.
I wanted to go inside, to try and find some happiness here again, but some part of me told me it wasn’t worth it. But I ignored that feeling and went inside anyway, being greeted by the pink and green detailed interior. It seemed foreign to me, despite all the times that I’ve been here. I walked up to the counter, sitting on the cushioned bar stools that were still as uncomfortable as I remembered. 
One of the workers made their way over to where I was sitting after dealing with a table around the corner. It was Spencer, a guy from school, but I mainly knew him from all the times that I came here with Nick. He always got annoyed whenever we got too loud and bothered everyone else in the diner.
“Haven’t seen you in awhile.” Spencer said, his usual tired face telling me all I needed to know.
“Long shift?” I asked him sarcastically.
“Yeah, works been a bitch lately, how bout you?”
“It’s been going.” I said, stretching my arms over my head. “Can I just get a chocolate ice cream frappe?”
“No fries or anything” Spencer clarified, to which I gave him a quick nod. “Alright, I’ll get that to you in a bit.” and with that he walked into the kitchen, coming out moments later to give food to the table he was at earlier.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Nick’s POV
Hanging out with Matt and Chris was always fun, but it was also a great distraction. I always hated when things were out of my control… hated how I felt insecure when I started to fall apart. Hated how all I could ever do was run away from the problem instead of facing them. And here I am, trying to suppress the sorrows by smiling and laughing with my brothers.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Y/n’s POV
After a couple minutes, Spencer finally made his way over to me, my drink in hand.
“One chocolate ice cream frappe for my favourite customer.” He said, setting down the drink in front of me.
“Thanks” is all I managed to let out.
“Let me know if you need anything else.” and with that, Spencer walked off to start wiping down some tables.
All I did was stare at the frappe for a bit, reminiscing on the past. When Nick and I came here, I’d always ordered the chocolate one, and he’d always get vanilla. It felt strange only seeing one of them on the counter, but I was starting to feel less bothered by it the longer I stared. When I finally did take a sip, a wave of warmth enveloped my body.
It tasted just how I remembered, maybe a bit better actually. And it was at that moment that I knew I was going to be okay. When life realigned for a second to let me catch my breath. I’d kept myself stuck in place, and now I was finally moving on my own again, no external force driving me forward. Just me, and I’m going to have to accept that fact.
The fact that Nick wouldn’t always be there anymore. I mean, I did miss him and all, he was my ride or die… and sometimes it felt like he was just around the corner. And as I thought about these stupid ideas, I heard his laugh. His obnoxiously perfect laugh.
He was here, Nick was actually here. It was the most relieving yet horrifying thing I’ve ever experienced. I set down a ten dollar tip on the counter and got up from my chair, slowly walking towards the source of the sound. My legs felt heavier with every step that got me closer, until I made it to the corner and finally I saw him. And there he was, smiling and laughing with Matt and Chris, a vanilla frappe in hand.
I pulled up my phone and started to text  Nick. One last attempt before I walk away from all of this.
I miss you. (6:27 Pm Today) Sent
And I watched as he picked up the phone, and set it down just as fast. Leaving those four letters on my screen once again. “Read”. And in that moment, I didn’t care anymore, how could I care anymore. I was so fucking tired of caring. Tired of spending all my time and energy on this. I stood up from my chair, making a loud squeaking from its legs scratching on the floor. All I could think about was getting out of here as fast as I could.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Nick’s POV
A loud sound from behind me took my attention away from the conversation that me and Chris were having, and I turned to see Y/n. He didn’t look like his usual self though. His hair was messily done, which wasn’t like him at all, and his clothes were slightly wet from the rain outside. He hates the rain.
By the time he was out the door, I found myself getting up abruptly and following after him. I heard Chris and Matt yelling something at me but I didn’t stop. I couldn’t. Y/n looked like he was in shambles, and it was because of me. Because of how selfish I’ve been.
─── ・ 。゚☆: *.☽ .* :☆゚. ───
Y/n’s POV
The rain was a lot worse than it was 20 minutes ago, going from a slight drizzle to a full on shower. I kept walking as fast as I could, trying to calm myself down. The tears on my face were blending in with the downpour. And I could hear Nick following behind me yelling my name.
“Y/N!” Nick yelled over the loud sound of rain, but I ignored it.
My walk sped up into a jog.
“Y/N!” He yelled again, but I still didn’t stop.
My jogging turned into running.
“Y/n just stop for a minute, please.” Nick pleaded, but I was being torn apart. Why now? Why after all this time? Nick didn’t bother to write a single text explaining anything and here he was running after me. He hates running.
I turned my head back to look at Nick but tripped over the uneven sidewalk. I managed to catch myself, scraping both my palms on the wet sidewalk, but it let Nick catch up to me.
“Are you okay?” Nick asked, catching his breath and offering me a hand to help me up.
“I’m fine Nick.” I slapped his hand away and got back up, trying to leave once again, but he grabbed onto my wrist before I could. “Nick let me go.” I said, trying to escape his grasp. The tears were falling harder now.
“Y/n…”
“I said let me go Nick!” I yanked my hand away from him, turning around and continuing on my way.
“Just let me explai-”
“Explain what?” I hissed out, stopping for a moment before turning around and finally facing him. “Explain how you fucking abandoned me?” He took a step back. “Explain how you ghosted me for a whole month?” He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out, so I kept on going. “Cause I want you to explain it Nick, I want you to fucking explain how you could throw me away like I was a piece of fucking trash.” My voice broke on the last few words, and I felt horrible yelling that at him, but part of me felt justified about it, which made me feel even worse.
“Y/n…” Nick started, struggling to find the right words. “What I did… it wasn’t okay. And I don’t know that you’ll ever forgive me.” He paused for a second to compose himself. I couldn’t tell if he was crying, or if it was the rain. “And it was selfish of me to do that. Selfish of me to just ignore you and not tell you why.”
“Then why didn’t you?” I yelled out, the frustration that I’ve been holding inside lashing out.
“Because I like you.” Nick said, which left me speechless. “I’ve liked you for so long and I know that you’ll never like me back that way, and it was so fucking hard watching you be so happy with other people while I watched from the sidelines. It was so hard waiting for myself to fall out of love with you because of how much I care about our friendship… but I can't take it anymore.”
“Nick… I…” I didn’t know what to say… didn’t know what to do.
“You don’t have to say anything Y/n, it’s fine.” Nick said, looking down at the ground. He looked as miserable as me.
“Nick…” I took a step forward and hugged him. “I don’t think I could ever like you that way... but you’ve been one of the most important things throughout my life.” I stopped for a second, pulling him out of the hug and looking at him face to face. “And if this is what you need to be happy... then it’s okay... I understand.” I took a deep breath in. “But I want you to know this... You’ve been one of the best things in my life, and you always will be.” and with that, turned around and walked away.
It’s taken a lot of time to accept this change, and at first, I really didn’t want to. Sure it still kinda hurt to think about, but as I looked down at my scraped palms, I knew I could get past this too. I looked back at Nick one last time to see Matt and Chris finally reunite with him, and for the first time in a long time, I smiled.

First kiss- Carlos Alcaraz
"Do you use tongue on a first kiss?" Asks the interviewer 
Most people would fully expect Carlos to say no including me but no his inability to lie kicked in again. He simply nodded his head and smiled while his cheeks went a bit pink but I think mine were worse I imagine I looked like a tomato. 
Carlos brought me to this interview as I had just made it out to Australia after missing the first few matches due to work and he wanted to spend time with me. I was expecting a normal interview with a few basic questions as I've been with him to plenty of interviews like that but this one was a little different from the start as it felt more like a little game show or quiz show thing. It was nice to have something a little different and I was enjoying it until that question and answer came up. All of the crew shot me a glance as when we arrived Carlos introduced me as his girlfriend now I'm really wishing he didn't. I know exactly what they were all thinking they were wondering if Carlos did that when we had our first kiss and that's what everyone is going to wonder when this interview comes out. 
The story of our first date and first kiss was bound to come out one day but I was hoping that would be further down the road and that people would think it's a cute story but now this interview will be in the back of everyone's mind. It is a cute story though. 
~~~~~~~~~~
Most people never get to experience going on a first date with someone even remotely famous let alone a famous tennis player who is very much well known across the country and the world. Somehow I've found myself in that exact situation who knew looking like an idiot on a tennis court could end with a date with a professional player who somehow found your awful attempt at tennis endearing. 
I feel like I should be nervous but for some reason I'm not. I just don't have any expectations I never thought I'd be in this situation so if  things don't go well then my life hasn't really changed I've just been on another bad first date. It's only if things go well that things will change which is definitely a problem for future me which is why I'm not really that bothered right now. As much as I'm not nervous I do want to make a good impression as Carlos was really nice and he's incredibly attractive. In my mind to make a good impression and not just seem like any random girl I had to make sure I dressed up and made myself look nice. I did some stalking before today so I know that Carlos could probably have any girl he wanted definitely someone prettier than me so I want to look my best and hope my personality makes up for the rest. 
Carlos said he would pick me up from my apartment at 8 and exactly as the clock turned 8 I got a text and the buzzer to my apartment went off. I made my way downstairs at lightning speed not wanting to keep him waiting too long which was exhausting but as soon as I saw Carlos' face and his bright smile running down 5 flights of stairs felt worth it. He greeted me with a hug and we made our way out to his car where he opened the passenger side door for me before getting in himself. When we planned this date he simply asked me my favourite type of food and if I have any allergies and that was it so I assume we are going to a restaurant but other than that I don't have a clue what we are doing. He drove us out of the busy city centre and into a smaller more rural town which I had never been to before. We drove for a few more minutes before he pulled into a parking space outside this small, quaint looking restaurant. It wasn't somewhere that I'd have ever found myself but I'm excited to try it out. 
Being a wonderful gentleman Carlos opened my door for me and offered his hand to help me get out which I didn't need but I wasn't going to miss out on the chance to hold his hand. He kept hold of my hand as we walked into the restaurant and were shown to our table, he only let go to pull out my chair for me and take my jacket. He was being so lovely which I'm not going to say I didn't expect as I'm sure his parents raised him right but you never know how someone with such a big following is going to act I mean I've had a run in with a footballer who was the rudest person I've ever met. Carlos is different though he's been nothing but kind since we met and clearly he hasn't let his success get to his head. 
We both ordered our food and got to talking properly for the first time since our brief interaction when we met. I really thought we'd have nothing in common as our lives are nothing alike but we actually had so many common interests and our lives growing up weren't as dissimilar as I thought they would be. We ate our food which was so delicious but we both just wanted to keep talking. I've never wanted a first date to keep going as much as I do with this one I think I've finally found my person and when I least expect to as well. 
After dinner Carlos drove me home and this time he came up to my apartment with me as he wanted to make sure I got in safely. While he was there I gave him a quick tour of my apartment before the time came that we had to say goodbye to each other. As we were saying goodbye there so much built up tension we were both looking into each others eyes and then at one another's lips. Carlos took the initiative and leant in finally attaching our lips, the kiss was amazing feeling his lips against mine everything felt right in the world. He took me by surprise when he added his tongue to the kiss I wasn't complaining but I didn't expect him to be so forward on the first date or with our first kiss. When he pulled away he pecked my lips before saying goodbye with a smirk on his face and me with the biggest smile on mine. 
~~~~~~~~~~
I was so distracted reliving my first date with Carlos that I had zoned out of the rest of the interview. I only came back into reality when I felt a kiss be pressed to my cheek by none other than the guy I was thinking about who has made the best boyfriend. He smiled at me and helped me up from the chair I was sat on before giving me a proper kiss which also garnered a look from everyone else in the room which made me blush.
“Are you ok?” Carlos asked 
“I’m fine just next time you do an interview maybe don’t tell everyone that you use tongue on the first kiss or at least not when I’m in the room it attracts attention” I said 
“I’m sorry I didn’t mean to embarrass you” he apologised sincerely 
“Its ok I’ll forget about it in a few hours but don’t you dare go telling anyone about the first time we had sex or I will kill you” I smile walking off to the car ready to go back to the hotel

Let Me Count the Ways
Chapter Fourteen - Missed You
[Ch 1] [Ch 2] [Ch 3] [Ch 4] [Ch 5] [Ch 6] [Ch 7] [Ch 8] [Ch 9] [Ch 10] [Ch 11] [Ch 12] [Ch 13]
Sunday mornings were some of Adrien's favorites, mostly because it meant he could easily slip out of the house. Try as hard as he might, Gabriel Agreste could only bully so many tutors and photographers to work early on a Sunday, so Adrien's schedule was usually free and the house was often quiet. No one was looking as Chat Noir stretched to his full height on Adrien's windowsill and cleared the mansion's high fence in once graceful leap.
Morning runs were a common thing for him, but today there was a bit more purpose behind it. The Ladyblog was reporting that Ladybug was out. And okay, he saw her a lot, but he missed her. How could he pass up an opportunity to "bump into her"?
In only a few minutes, he strolled through the park toward their statue. Ladybug sat there, staring at their stone faces, tapping her lips and lost in thought. His steps stuttered to a halt at the sight. Images bubbled up in his mind. His fingers at her lips, tracing their shape, only to replace them with his mouth.
He shook himself and kept moving.
"Ladybug! Fancy bumping into you here!" he called when he was close enough.
She jumped, and her eyes found him, only to flick back to the statue of him immediately.
Something was wrong. She grinned at the statue like it would answer her, her hands stiffly in her lap, her face tinged pink.
"Oh, Chat Noir!" she answered belatedly. "I kissed– MISSED you! How have you been?"
Chat Noir moved into her line of sight and she glanced away again. "Fine," he said. They'd only been separated for 10 hours and he'd been sleeping most of the time, and she probably knew that. The question made no sense.
Plus, why was she out here already? Everyone knew Ladybug wasn't a morning person, and they'd been out late last night. Had she been feeling lonely and unwanted at home? What about her friends? Had they told her they'd all found better things to do than spend time with her today?
Movement in the corner caught his attention, and he turned to watch the skyline. Branches swayed in the breeze, but nothing else seemed out of place.
"Good," Ladybug said. "That's good. I'm glad." She gave him a thumbs up while staring at a spot just next to his head.
"I wanted to ask you before, but when are we planning on meeting next time?" Truly, it had slipped his mind after he'd made an awkward fool of himself last night. But if she was feeling unwanted, then he wanted to give her something to look forward to. He would always want to spend time with her, even if it wasn't the way she wanted to spend time with him.
Ladybug's pink-dusted cheeks darkened at his question. "I hadn't actually thought that far ahead."
He laughed. "You? Not have a plan?"
"What was that?" Ladybug sat up straight, scanning the area in front of her.
He thought he saw something too, another flicker of movement like before. Closer this time. "I don't know." Everything seemed normal now.
"A big bird?" Ladybug asked, sitting back.
"Probably. Hey," he said, hoping to regain her attention. "Why don't you pick? Name a time and a place, and I'll be there."
Ladybug shyly caught his eye with half a smile. "Okay, sounds perfect."
"I think you mean purr-fect." 
"No, I definitely didn't."
Behind their statue, a building disappeared. And then the screams started.

KinnPorsche Ep08 Lines of Power
Deep breath, everyone! This is probably our last chance to breathe easily before the finale. Enjoy the calming atmosphere while it lasts.
Without further ado, I shall address the lines of power, staging, and framing in Episode 8 of KinnPorsche... actually, I'm gonna take it easy because it was a very chill episode without too much wild, crazy line business.
More LoP posts: [Trailer] ... [Ep04] [Ep05] [Ep06] [Ep07] [Ep09 Part 1] [Ep09 Part 2]
Tumblr media
Look, if you didn't already realize in the first 10 minutes that this episode is pure comedy, this shot should seal the deal. A head popping out at a random angle from a doorway is peak comedy, a pure classic staging art.
Porsche, why so cute? 😳
Tumblr media
You guys. You guys. This looks like just a normal, cute shot on their date, right? Right?
WRONG. You've been FOOLED.
Look in the background. It's a mirror, another damn mirror!
Kinn is perfectly framed in the mirror, his other self haunting their date in a much more subtle way than Tawan did. This is a clever reminder that even though things seem sweet and fluffy now, they still have Kinn's alter ego and other life to contend with (and integrate?) if they want to be happy in the long run.
I haven't had a chance to review it yet, but I know @daltoneering has published a huuuuge meta about the mirrors in KP, so check that out for more mirror thoughts.
Tumblr media
Nope, nothing serious. Head empty, only cute boy with beautiful golden Wat Arun temple to frame his face from the background.
Now, I ask you, what's better than one cute boy with a beautiful temple behind him?
Tumblr media
Answer: TWO cute boys with a beautiful temple behind them!
Again, nothing serious here, but I just want to point out that the sweethearts are off center to better incorporate the pretty golden glow of the temple behind them into the shot.
You can also take this as slight foreshadowing of the religious element coming later in the episode.
Tumblr media
The lines of power were a bit shy this episode, but for this scene, they came out in full force.
This is reminiscent of the Emperor Korn shot in Ep 05 (for good reason considering they're the same set), but this is so different and so romantic. The sparkles from the waterfall, the glowing lines of the pool, and the lower lines of the ceiling are all pointing to the central couple, giving them the focus and the power.
The lines say this is love, and love wins.
Steal every bit of happiness you can! (I'm not just saying that to Kinn and Porsche, btw.)
Tumblr media
Lots of soft, wavey lines of light... I can't help but think that all the soft lines are helping to emphasize how much their relationship has softened.
Yet the shot also shows Porsche clutching at Kinn's face for dear life. I'm not over that, not in the slightest. The boy is holding on with all his might. He's gonna be fierce about it.
...he probably also needs some air.
Tumblr media
Q: When is a line of power not a line of power?
A; When you really just need a divider.
I could try to say that the big thick wooden line in the middle symbolizes this or that, or it's about Porsche being sneaky and not just asking Kinn the questions he should ask... but sometimes a line really is just a line.
For this gag to work, the characters have to be divided and unable to see each other.
So? Not a line of power, imo. But the shot is still very nicely framed with dynamic composition.
Tumblr media
Pretty, so damn pretty.
Great staging composition of the three cast members -- Porsche low, monk middle, Joe high.
Scenery is fantastic and engaging from foreground to background.
The angle of the sidewalk line on the left helps draw attention to the actors.
On top of it all, Porsche stands out in his black suit against the soft white, cream, and orange color palette.
If you didn't give this shot much thought during the show, take a minute to stare right now. Enjoy an aesthetic moment!
///
More LoP posts: [Trailer] ... [Ep04] [Ep05] [Ep06] [Ep07] [Ep09 Part 1] [Ep09 Part 2]
For LOTS of great meta from all over the Tumblr community and dozens and dozens of contributors, check out the Damn Good KinnPorsche Meta doc.
Also, absolutely shameless plug, but today I posted the prologue for my soulmate AU fic. It's going to be a wild ride and a big multichapter fic, so hop on board early: The King's Tree.

Can i get Derek and Maya information? I wouldn't mind if you went a little bit into how they interact:)
YIPPEE! I love getting asks about my characters. OwO
Derek and Maya Info/Interactions:
TW: Small mention of Age Regression and Stereotyping
🍓Derek follows Aluminum around like a little lost puppy. It isn't because he is too shy to really talk to other people, mind you, it is because Aluminum is too scared to do so. While Derek can go up to people, get their attention, explain how his mutism makes him have to write down his words, then start a random conversation... Aluminum just can't really do that. So, Derek stands by, as one of the few people Aluminum is comfortable with, in case Aluminum wants to talk to someone. Plus, Aluminum is just an interesting fellow to Derek. He is so emotional, willing to snap at people and such without thinking, but unlike most snippy and snappy people, he will very quickly apologize for his words once he realizes he is wrong.
🦈Maya is very quiet and still, at first, but once she gets to know someone, she will turn into an energetic goofball. She will also play the most random of games, such as "slinky hunting", where she makes a slinky go down the stairs, before pouncing on it at random. Not many people like to play games with her, so she learned to play alone. Johnny likes playing her odd games, but tends to forget the rules.
🍓 Derek would probably meet Maya when Aluminum goes to the Playplace. The doctors try to keep the pediatric (child) patients separate from the adults, but the Playplace is open to everyone. Mainly kids go there, but Aluminum does visit from time to time when he age regresses, with Derek keeping a close eye so he doesn't hurt himself. Since Maya likes to play games, she often visits to calm down after doctor's appointments.
🦈 Maya would most likely be in awe of Derek, because she has never seen anyone so tall before. She had heard of the cow people, after her Mama mentioned one falling out of the sky, but never seen one. With her being a bit more comfortable in the hospital, as well as her watching Derek care for Aluminum, she would most likely end up climbing him like a tree.
🍓 That is, apparently, how friendships are made. Within the day, Derek has become a sort of big brother figure to Maya. She would say Father figure, but Baxter has already taken that role, so she said he would have to settle for brother. One of the main things that occur is Derek protecting Maya from people who are rude or causing her stress. Since many see Landsharks as "bloodthirsty, like any normal shark", people tend to make fun of her. Now, although Derek doesn't have horns, the sight of an 8 foot tall, hulking figure of a cow man is bound to at least cause aggressors to hesitate.
🦈 Maya is a bit more perceptive of small things about Derek, mostly how he seems uncomfortable with people drinking strawberry milk. So, although she likes strawberry milk, if she and Derek are eating lunch together, she'd end up choosing chocolate milk. She'd also end up introducing him and Aluminum to her uncle, Baxter, and Johnny the moth boy. Baxter would probably end up "adopting" him, much like he did Johnny and Maya.
🍓 Due to Derek being 8 feet tall and a little on the heavier side, he doesn't fit into any of the patient gown s that the hospital has. There are a few other patients in the same situation. So, because he doesn't fit into any gowns, they gave him scrubs to wear, instead. There is talk that the reason they don't have big enough gowns, even though they have scrubs that fit, is because the hospital assumes that every sick patient will, naturally, be skinnier. Either way, due to Maya's trauma regarding healthcare workers, it was a large part of why she had to observe Derek before greeting him. She thought, due to his scrubs and him following around a patient (Aluminum), that he was a nurse, doctor, or another type of worker at the hospital. Once she realized he was a patient, she gave him a little, handmade strawberry pin to wear so she doesn't lose him in crowds of workers.
🦈 Maya is so tiny that Derek sometimes picks her up when they get in a crowd. He thinks that, if he doesn't, she'll get crushed. There was one time where Baxter lost Maya in a crowd at the lunchroom, causing him to scream "Where's my baby?!" In response, Derek stood up, put Maya on his head, and had Aluminum shout "There she is!" Due to him being the tallest in the room, Baxter quickly saw her and calmed down.

This is why we call before dropping by the HOL (Ft. Solomon and GN!MC)
Warnings: Season 1 spoilers, yelling, implied violence, choking.
Length: 0.4k words
Genre: Chaotic
I know this is a little short, but I haven’t had much motivation to write for Obey Me! recently, so take this random thing I wrote :D The title is…iffy at best and will probably change, but I can't think of anything better at the moment. If there’s any warnings you think I should add, please let me know! I hope you like it!
-Ethereal ^J^
Story below, please don't claim as your own!
Solomon rang the doorbell, then waited patiently. In a house with 8 occupants, surely someone would be home to answer him. Even if no one was, it’s not like it was an emergency or anything. He was just returning the router for the third time that month.  
Due to Simeon’s…technological limitations, the angel often had several hundred tabs open at once. To say that the internet at Purgatory Hall was at a snail’s pace would be an insult to snails, and quite frankly, an insult to the first-world problem him and Luke had to suffer through.
Maybe he should consider upgrading their internet plan. Or investing in computer lessons for Simeon.  
He waited a few minutes. The house was pretty big, and if no one was near the door it could take a while. Just to make sure, he rang the bell a second time. He couldn’t really be upset if no one was here, since it’s not like he warned anyone he was coming.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard you shout something. He couldn’t quite tell what it was, but you sounded rather exasperated. Another fifteen seconds later, and the door finally opened. Immediately, your face brightened.  
“Oh, hey Solomon!” You weren’t expecting anyone, but it was certainly a welcome interruption.  
“Hello. I just came to return the-“
The sound of glass shattering cut him off, derailing his train of thought. You, on the other hand, didn’t seem the least bit fazed. You gestured to the box in his arms.
“The router?” You prompted.
“That’s right,” he remembered, offering you the box. “Again, thank you. One of these days we’ll teach Simeon how to-“
This time, overlapping, shouting voices interrupted him. Once again, you ignored it completely, opting to grab the device from his frozen grasp.  
“Good, thanks.” You tucked it under your arm. “Lucifer’s gonna be so mad when he sees how much data everyone’s been using,” you said, mostly to make conversation.
“Right,” he answered distractedly, more focused on the catastrophic noises that were still coming from your house. “Um, if you don’t mind me asking…is everything alright in there?”
You paused. “Things are…” Another loud crash. “Pretty normal for game night,” you answer honestly.  
You both heard Asmo cry out triumphantly. “Pick up four, Uno, pick up eight, change it to…blue, I guess? And I’m out! I win!”
“I’m going to kill you,” Belphie said flatly, and you assumed he was on the receiving end of all the cards.
“Yeah, everything’s fine,” you reassured Solomon. “We’re just…” you trailed off. Someone was sputtering and gasping as if they were being choked. Knowing full well that Asmo was stronger than Belphie, you were only mildly concerned.  
“Oh, for crying out loud,” you muttered, rolling your eyes. “Of all people, I should’ve known he wasn’t joking. Please excuse me.”
Ever so gently, the door clicked shut behind you.
“No, bad dog! Belphie, DOWN!”

stupid and random things that popped into my head/that happened and made me laugh/giggle at work recently (to myself 😅) and that i thought i would share -
1. “derbel mcdillet” - nothing else with this, literally just bill hader’s voice in my head saying this 😂 (it’s just so funny and stupid. it makes me laugh every time i think about it. 😂)
2. “You look familiar.” - “Like your dead girlfriend?” 😳😂 - no other part of the song at first, just that specific part randomly popping into my head throughout the day 😅🤦‍♀️ (idk why but that line and the way rosario dawson says it just kills me. it has since i was like 14 lol)
3. “wait, am i dello or donna?” - young donald duck (from the newer ducktales) asking his sister (della) this after scrooge mixes up their names and is calling them to go on an adventure with him. 😂 (i don’t know why this made me laugh so hard, but it did. i think it was the voice too that just made it even better lol.)
(there’s more under the cut 😅 i figure i wrote a lot and don’t wanna make anyone have to scroll through all of this especially if they’re not like all that interested in all this randomness and stupidity lol. which i totally get 😂 my brain is something else lmao. and it’s not for everyone 😅)
4. steve rogers during the schwarma scene in a angers. just how he sits and and his facial expression- it just makes me giggle. he’s just so cute and adorable 😄 and cause it’s so relatable. like for real, it’s me pretty much all the time lmao.
5. telling one of my coworkers a story about my aunt (my mom’s oldest sister/the one i work with) from when she was a like 3 or 4 (i think i’m not 100% sure atm. but i do know she was very young) and she and my grandparents had moved back to italy. and one time when they (my grandparents and aunt) went to a relative’s house and she told the one of the relatives who lived there that “her mom’s house back in america was never this dirty” 😂 the sass!! like i just love it so much!
6. me thinking about when i was a kid and go swimming in our pool, we would have to keep our distance from my mom if she was also in the pool because she hated being splashed. (i mean i get it lol, it can be very annoying. especially when the water is cold lol) and one day my brother kept splashing her on purpose (which was very out of character for him cause of the two of us, he was the good one. he was the one who stayed out of trouble lol). so she asked him to stop nicely and then progressively got more frustrated with him when he didn’t stop. so then finally he did stop. but then, he genuinely on accident splashed her again and she turned to him and says “look here you little fucker” 😂 which wasn’t like our mom lol. she didn’t like swear at us when we were kids unless we made her really mad lol.
7. “you swore on my face” - me when i was maybe 3 years old. i did something (i got into trouble/cause trouble quite a bit when i was that small lol) and she called me a little shit. shocked and very offended by my mother not only calling me that but for swearing (again, she didn’t normally swear at us lol. it was rare that she did and that’s why it was kind of a big deal when she actually did lol. but now, she swears like a sailor lmao. and i absolutely take after her and get that from her 😅😂)
8. “you fuhting kidding me?” - my bruceman 🖤 when i was still his nanny, he used to say this all the time lol. and the very first time he said it, it was one morning when he was eating breakfast and while his parents were getting ready for work/not too long before i got to their house to spend the day with my little dude. and so his mom asked his dad if he let their dog back in yet (or tried to get her to come in. she reeeeally loves being outside 😄 i miss her 🥺😢 anywayy…). he told her no, not yet. and before he could say anything else, my buddy looked over at his dad while standing on his chair at their kitchen table so he could see him better and very annoyed says “ugh, you fuhting kidding me?!” 😂 i couldn’t believe it when they told me he said that lmao! i mean it didn’t surprise me that he swore, he did that on and off quite a bit lol. but the fact that this (at the time) 3 year old little shit used it correctly! too perfect and too funny. we (my family and i) say it all the time now. (this happened back in 2020 lol)
- there are sooo many other random and stupid little things i think about during the day or things that happen to me while i’m at work (i realize i didn’t really mention anything that like actually happened to me. but i figure i can always add some moments like that on here another time lol) but for now i’ll post this as it is and i’ll update this with more stuff soon lol.

When I was playing the iOS version of SMT1, nobody could drink. If you tried, there was an extra line of dialogue where the bartender says something like, "Aren't you a little young?" and gives you juice instead. I don't know if it's just an international release thing, if it was added in the GBA or PSX port, or what. Felt a bit like they were trying to weasel out of a 'representing minors consuming alcohol' offense.
I always thought the Heroine was in her twenties by the present, but since she's the rebel leader and everyone's after her, she never shows anyone her ID.
Enforcing drinking laws might have made sense in the present, but after Tokyo is destroyed, why do the bartenders care? And how would they know that these random travelers are under twenty, if IDs aren't produced anymore?
I think it makes more sense if nobody cared about underage drinking laws by the time you reach bars. If memory serves, Kichijoji only has a cafe, and you only get bars once you reach Shinjuku. By then, things have gotten so bad that bars might start selling to anyone who can pay.
But really, we all know that if anyone's irresponsible, it's the bars of SMT2, for serving alcohol to two-year-old Aleph.
Hah I was very much suspecting it was a retcon. And that's because MT2/SMT2 already had an euphemism for beer which was Magical Fizz. 
So I'm guessing they gave up on trying to be subtle and removed the lore of the protagonist having alcohol altogether for later rereleases? So teenager drinking bad but using guns and killing people still good?
Anyway since we’re at it, let’s compare the 8/16-bit era of mainline games chronologically on the drinking aspect:
Tumblr media
In the SNES version of Megami Tensei, while they don’t specify what kind of drink you’re having, from Nakajima’s reaction it seemed very satisfying. The name of the shop is even “Poison Bar”, for goodness’s sake. 
That being said, considering the game is a completely different (and far simpler) take on the story from the original novel, we can easily label Nakajima doing underage drinking and frickin gambling in the Underworld as non-canon. 
ACTUALLY, I skimmed through its NES version and I don’t think any of those features were supposed to exist in the first place. Which means MT2 was where bars started being a thing:
Tumblr media Tumblr media
NES and SNES for comparison. Yeah, the exact same English words are written in the Japanese text for the drinks. You know, something I can’t help but get awfully curious for is that while in later SNES titles the main character freely drinks liquor, in the game where this feature made its debut he’s literally the one who can’t have it.
No booze allowed for the MT2 protagonist. Only soft drinks. Even though both of his partners can have beer. It’s never commented why. If there are age differences, it’s not apparent. And they live in devastated version of Tokyo so rules would be far more lax.
It’s funny because this is the same game where the protagonist can go to a drugstore to get high from herbal medicine. Yeah you read it right.
Tumblr media
And he can keep going for a LONG time.
Tumblr media
...and overdose to the point of falling on the floor paralyzed and unable to do anything, much to the heroine’s chagrin.
Tumblr media
On that note, there’s a single instance in the entire game where the MC finally is offered actual liquor. From... a guy that was Satan's disguise.
Tumblr media
Paralyzed AGAIN, Takuma? And imagine getting roofied by goddamn Satan. 
Maybe the reason bartenders don’t serve him specifically is because people that are familiar with him know he’s a danger to himself. Considering that [redacted] happens in a point of the game... yeah. You better stop and just fucking listen to what Asuka says to you, boy.
Tumblr media
SMT1 is where the protagonist finally can join the fun with his companions. Everyone drinks the same thing. Equality baby! And no euphemisms!
They could drink in bars both when Tokyo was normal and after it got destroyed by the missiles, so I don’t think the excuse of “oh, the apocalypse made people stop caring” work, at least with the same weight as in MT2.
Tumblr media
...AND THEN the sequel brought Magical Fizz back. Probably because SMT2 took cues from MT2 and/or they thought the word was still hilarious (I also do, ngl).
This little dialogue of the barman not letting you drink any more doesn’t show up in other games with the bar feature. Makes you wonder if Aleph is a lightweight since [redacted] or if other bartenders are just... irresponsible as fuck. And yes I’m also counting you on this, crazy MT2 drugstore girl.
Tumblr media
One of the big highlights of SMT2 is getting Aleph shitfaced so he can temporarily get enough MAG to win the dance contest. Look at this madlad. Aleph must be great at parties.
You know which other infamous drink makes a comeback?
Tumblr media
SUPER MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILK
Fairly enough, it’s exclusive to the Center’s bar. You know... the place where the Law side is located. No sinning next to angels, Aleph.
Tumblr media
SMT:If is the game where some surprise factor indeed reaches the player since it happens inside a high school (and yet somehow our first-year protagonists can have liquor bottles stored in their pocket to either offer to demons or chug them down themselves). 
Let’s be honest, this would be an unusual thing to keep around even for adult staff! It’s a school goddamnit. Unless they got it somewhere else like... perhaps the Underworld since Hazama connected both places together.
Actually, such “is this allowed?” age aspect is even commented by a NPC but for the gambling feature:
Tumblr media
Considering the type of people you partner up with in SMT:If (and subsenquently the P1/P2 cast to some degree), the protagonists displaying delinquent behavior might very well be what they went for compared to the more ambiguous “left-to-the-player” interpretations for MT2/SMT1/SMT2.
With the exception of our good glasses girl, look at the rest of these hooligans!
Tumblr media
Anyway I stick with my interpretation of the main cast of SMT1/2 being on their twenties (or looking as such like Aleph) while the rest are just teens playing with their luck.

I’m ✨inconsistent✨
Anyway have some random memories I have about HH, most of them from when I was very young and had absolutely no grasp on Mandarin.
I’m not sure why I’m pouring out these memories, but I wanted to share them, so who’s stopping me?
So you know how the two movies have English subtitles? That’s why I liked the first one so much as a kid. My memory/understanding of watching it for the first time went something like “oh, new guy. Why does everyone hate Happy. Why are they suddenly sorry for him. What happened to his powers. New guy had funny voice.” Also I thought Shapeshifter was female, going by their voice.
I watched episodes very, very out of order as a kid. So after watching a few, I eventually found one that was from season one, so naturally, I wondered where Careful was. Except I automatically just went “oh he doesn’t exist yet.” Did I watch the episode where he was introduced? No. Did I see anything that would’ve hinted at his existence? No. I just knew he didn’t exist yet.
For a while, I genuinely thought Happy and Zelia were dating.
I was jumping around in season 8, and I saw them travel between the normal and storybook world, and I got super confused. Like was that normal?? Was that just a thing they did? Did they live in a book and get the power to jump out?? It wasn’t until I read the overview on the wiki that things cleared up.
So while I was watching the climax of season 8 (I don’t remember if it was the last episode or not), I remember genuinely thinking to myself “Is Sweet the main character??” Because she had the huge thing with protecting the book! I think that is also the reason I fell in love with her so quickly after picking it back up.
Oh god, the English dubs! After getting back into HH a few years later, I managed to find those. And I really didn’t like the voice actors. I understand that the people voicing the dubs obviously aren’t going to be the same people as the original, but the difference shocked me so much that past me didn’t care! Careless’s voice was too deep for a child! Smart sounded like his nose was pinched the entire time! Sweet’s voice was so high pitched I had to turn up the volume to hear her! Happy-! Well, actually his voice was pretty okay, but I still thought it was weird. And don’t get me started on Careful’s voice. I’m not sure what happened there, but he reminded me of Mickey Mouse every time he spoke! I know I’m probably exaggerating and my unreliable memory is blowing it out of proportions. The episodes were taken down, so I can’t really go back to see if I remembered correctly.
I’m not sure about anyone else, but in the season two dub, Sweet’s voice was noticeably different. I thought it was better than the last season, because now I could actually hear her! I still didn’t like how it was so different from the original, though. (But looking back, that voice actually did suit her younger character.)
Seasons one, two, three, four, five, nine, ten, eleven, and twelve were up when I first got back into HH. Granted, you had to do a bit of digging to find the first couple of seasons. I remember I would watch them over and over but would avoid season ten and up because the change in art style put me off that much. The only thing I really liked about it at first was Sweet in a dress. Didn’t know I needed that until then. Seasons got taken down, though, and I, starved for new content, eventually got around to watching them. I thought it was alright, I could get used to it.
And when I went back to watch season one, the only thing I would really take notice of was that everyone’s heads were big.

2023 Tumblr Top 10 (with commentary)
(This was apparently the year of Astarion... If only most of my art could get this many pings. 😢)
1. 164 notes - Sep 19 2023 I've probably talked about this before, but I'll say it again: The banter between Astarion and Gale about "oh never felt the...
I still periodically get activity on this post. People have had opinions on it, it seems, which have been interesting to read. I've seen people say that Ilmater and Elistraee both would've helped him, and saying my take was kinda BS, to which I counter, again -- vampire. Faerun gods don't seem to be particularly fond of undead (also Astarion wasn't exactly a good person before getting turned, soooo...). (Also-also, Eli girl was dead for a chunk of Astarion's time under Cazador, so not much she could do anyway while trying to reform herself. Eli - 0 Lloth - 1)
Still, it's been fun to see people's thoughts, even if they differ from mine. Another testament to the interesting writing in BG3, that even a brief bit of banter can spin up a bit of thoughts and discussion.
2. 52 notes - Oct 6 2023 Rambling a moment in response to something someone thought of on another post (and I don't want to piggyback on their post), but...
Tumblr media
An art post in my top 10? Shock! And it not be normal sexy Astarion, but weird headcanon AU Astarion? There's a trend here, considering the last time I had art do any form of numbers, it was my cyberpunk-ish Astarion. I keep trying to draw and write more Witcher-AU stuff, but it requires more spoons than my brain has available. Until then, you get beastie batty Astarion, who, rest assured, is still a gremlin. Worse, arguably, since he has the ability to go invisible...
4. 26 notes - Sep 10 2023 Family Ties
I still maintain the headcanon that the Ancunin Family are probably shitty people. I know people want to imagine they're this poor nice noble family of high elves who are just so sad about their son but... let's be honest. You don't get an ass like Astarion from a sweet and nice upbringing, especially not from a noble family.
5. 22 notes - Nov 9 2023 KAYN CAN GET STUCK IN SHIT?! ... That is fucking hilarious and exactly what that gremlin deserves.
... I don't get why this got as many notes as it has, but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks Kayn deserves what he got and found it hilarious. (I love seeing dumb gremlins get bullied by comedic circumstance.)
6. 22 notes - Jul 13 2023
Tumblr media
Knowing what we know now about Astarion, I'm less into bullying him in a sexual sense. Still was an interesting little thought, though. Could be interesting to explore if he wanted, in his journey to reclaim his sexuality and such.
7. 22 notes - Jul 13 2023 My brain has, like everyone else, been going "brrr" on the mention of a "heartwrenching ending" that was mentioned for "one of...
Twenty-two is the magic number, apparently. Anyway... hmm... I'll refrain from further commentary, since, well, spoilers.
8. 19 notes - Aug 25 2023 Not only did I get the game working, but I managed to get my saves to work, and I went down and kicked Cazador's fucking ass....
A very spoiler post for BG3. I will say that, in the future, I may wait a tic on really playing future games on release, even if I've purchased them. Even with Early Access and all the work they did to catch bugs, BG3 was still a bit of a mess for me. I can ignore most little bugs, but Save-breaking bugs... Those get to me. I'm glad it all got worked out.
9. 17 notes - Sep 4 2023 Why must we constantly headcanon living-Astarion not having white hair? He's an elf! Elves can have lovely, luxurious white...
*shrug* I still don't get this headcanon people have. I get the idea of stress-induced-hair color change, but... eh. The logic doesn't logic for me.
10. 13 notes - Oct 12 2023 Just random musing. Genuinely not calling anyone out or anything, but I find it... interesting? Yeah, we'll go with interesting....
I still see it when I poke around Astarion/whoever fandom, and still feel it's incredibly suspicious and telling that people can't seem to separate BDSM/kink from "being evil". At least that's how it looks to me. I know, I know, it's fantasy and people find being evil and kinky hot, but still... the prevalence of kinky Ascendstarion vs not-kinky Spawnstarion makes me scratch my chin in thought. Then again, I could ramble forever about how this is probably an interesting reflection of society's views on BDSM and whatever.
Part of me wants to write that thought-exercise-analysis essay, but from the bits of Ascendstarion vs Spawnstarion discourse I've seen, I think I'd rather not even graze nor get near that hornet's nest... Oof.

Chapter 8
cw vomiting
Everyone in Pokemon Square gathered in front of Nero and Pyra. They just finished telling everyone what Xatu told them.
Pyra: "…So yeah, he knows nothing."
Nero, sarcastically: "Say your prayers, we're doomed."
Everyone started screaming.
Pyra whispered in Nero's ear: "Dude, you know they don't understand sarcasm."
Nero: "Fine, fine."
Nero shouted: "EVERYONE CALM DOWN. Xatu said he'll come back with more information, okay? We're not actually doomed, I was just joking."
Everyone sort of calmed down, but they were still anxious.
Pyra: "He said that there's already someone dealing with that, so don't worry."
Team ACT made their way to the front of the crowd.
Alakazam: "Did he say who?"
Nero: "No, Alchemy, he didn't. Remember, he'll tell us… later."
Charizard: "Wait… you said he knows nothing, but he knows that it's being dealt with? How?"
Nero: "Man, don't ask me, ask him yourself. I'm leaving."
Sierra and his team woke up in the morning, since Kilo wanted to do something with Sierra during the day.
Uni: "Oh great, you're finally being normal!"
Everyone else decided to ignore what Uni said. Kilo picked up Delta and they all went to Treasure Town, and everyone there fell absolutely silent upon seeing Sierra.
Uni: "…I'm outta here, this is too awkward." He walked away from the group.
Sierra, Kilo, and Delta got some apples to eat.
Sierra: "So. Why are we up so early?"
Kilo: "I thought that maybe if you talked to some people, that they'd realize what a nice person you are!"
Sierra: "And how exactly should we approach this?"
Kilo: "Ummm… okay I may have gotten a little distracted last night while trying to come up with the plan uhhh… Got it!"
Kilo: "We pick a random person, walk up to them, and uh… talk. We make them talk to you. How's that? We just need to pick a victim-"
Sierra: "Victim?"
Delta: "I don't really know what you're hoping to do, but forcing people to talk sounds like a bad idea."
Kilo: "Okay, maybe we don't force them to talk…"
Sierra sighed. "Let's just get it over with…"
Kilo was drinking from a water bottle he bought a few days ago. The water looked a little cloudy, but he couldn't taste any difference, so he drank it anyway.
"One second," Kilo said, right before handing Delta to Sierra and running to a nearby bush to throw up. Sierra went to check up on him.
Delta: "Why is it purple?!?"
Sierra: "Is that… poison? I know you're a poison type, but… puking poison? Do you need to go to the hospital?"
Kilo groaned. "N-no. I… I'm…" He kept vomiting. "Ugh…"
Sierra put Delta on the ground.
Sierra: "Delta, can you stay with Uni for a bit?"
Delta nodded and went to look for Uni.
Sierra: "Do you need help walking?"
Kilo: "I'm… fine."
Kilo tried to walk, but immediately collapsed into Sierra's arms. Sierra sighed. He picked Kilo up, and carried him to the hospital. Kilo kept saying he was fine, but Sierra ignored him.
In the Mist Continent...
Josh is an Oshawott. His partner is a Snivy named Johmathoscalomew. Johmathoscalomew refuses to let anyone shorten his name. Anyone who dares shorten his name must face the most severe of punishments.
Josh and Johmathoscalomew created Pokemon Paradise, a place where… Pokemon… live? The Snivy never really specified what the goal of Paradise was, just that he wanted to make it. Josh decided to go along with it since he really had nothing else to do. Stuff happened, they beat up an ice dragon, and then destroyed a snowflake of despair. It's been months since Josh returned to this world, and nothing notable happened ever since. The two just sat idly in their home everyday.
One night, Josh and Johmathoscalomew laid down on the grass, looking at the stars in the night sky.
The Snivy started speaking, but not exactly directed to Josh. Just speaking to say something.
"It's been awfully quiet recently."
"It's pretty noisy, actually, with all these Pokemon living here."
"You know what I mean. Nothing really happens anymore! What do we do? I don't want to just stay at home all day, everyday for the rest of my life, not having anything to do!"
"Nothing can really top defeating that… snowflake… thing. What was it called?"
"Bittercold? Or something like that?"
"Ever since I came back, everything's just felt… dull."
The two were silent for a few minutes.
"Hey… Josh… can I ask you something?"
"What's up?"
"Why did you come back?"
"Didn't you wish for me to come back or something?"
"Yeah, but it only worked because you wanted to come back. At least, that's what Hydreigon told me."
"…"
"How was your world? The human world?"
Josh thought to himself for a whole 5 minutes.
"Meh."
"Oh."
Josh got up. He was going to go to bed, but then saw lots of Pokemon having a fun time around a campfire. He walked over there, followed by Johmathoscalomew.
Josh: "Hey, what's up!"
Scraggy: "Yo, it's Josh and Johma… Jo… Johmath… uhh… You! Yeah!"
Johmathoscalomew : "Say it."
Scraggy: "What?"
Johmathoscalomew : "Say my name."
Scraggy was terrified. He knew the consequences of not remembering his name, yet could never actually remember his name.
Scraggy: "Hey, spare me, please!"
Everyone else started to slowly back away.
Johmathoscalomew: "I will. If you can say my name."
Scraggy: "Josh, you gotta help me, man!"
Josh didn't respond.
Scraggy: "Josh? Please? Come on, help me! Joshawott?"
Josh instantly punched Scraggy's eye, making him scream in pain.
Scraggy: "AAAAAAAGH, WHAT WAS THAT FOR, YOU PIECE OF-"
Quagsire: "Hmm?"
Johmathoscalomew smacked Josh's head. "Yeah, what was that for, Josh?"
Josh: "Never call me Joshawott again."
Kilo woke up on a bed in an unfamiliar place.
"W-where am I?"
"You passed out on the way here."
Kilo couldn't make out who was speaking, but could make a guess as to who was talking.
Kilo whispered: "Sierra?"
"How do you feel?"
"Not good."
Another voice was talking to Sierra, but Kilo wasn't conscious enough to hear. Kilo closed his eyes.
An hour later, Kilo woke up again, fully conscious.
Kilo: "whuh… what happened?"
Sierra: "You threw up poison and passed out, so I brought you here."
Kilo: "Where is… here?"
Kilo looked around. There was only Sierra and a Chansey.
Chansey: "This is the hospital! Thankfully, nothing severe happened."
Kilo: "Ah."
Chansey: "You need to take better care of your body. Be sure to drink lots of CLEAN water frequently!"
Sierra: "Where have you been drinking water, anyway?"
Kilo: "Where do people normally get water? I couldn't find any normal drinking water source, so I had to resort to river water."
Sierra: "Remind me to tell you where the actual drinking water is."
Chansey: "As a Toxtricity, you can drink dirty water and your body will turn it into poison. The poison can't hurt you, but it can have unwanted side effects if you have too much."
Kilo: "Like?"
Chansey: "If you don't get rid of the toxins in your body in time, it can penetrate your brain."
Kilo: "Sounds bad. What would happen?"
Sierra: "Apparently, you'll lose your mind. Go berserk. However you want to phrase it. So yeah, you need to drink good water."
Kilo looked down at himself and realized that he doesn't actually know how to take care of his new body.
Kilo: "Is there anything else I should know?"
Chansey: "Like what?"
Kilo: "Like… how do I get rid of the poison? I don't think throwing it up is really the best way."
Chansey: "You can turn the poison into electricity by rubbing your fingers on these chest organs."
Kilo scratched his 5 chest organs, and the sound of a Double Bass came out.
Kilo: "What."
Sierra scratched one of Kilo's chest organs as well, and the same sound came out.
Kilo: "That's… weird."
Sierra kept scratching at his chest organs, which kept making music.
Kilo: "That actually feels pretty nice."
Kilo sat up, and got off the bed.
Sierra: "Are you sure you're fine enough to walk?"
Kilo: "Yeah. I'm sure."
Kilo and Sierra walked out of the hospital together.
Kilo: "I am kinda thirsty, though…"
Josh apologized to Scraggy the next day. Scraggy was still extremely mad at Josh, but was too scared to say anything about it.
Josh: "Hey, Johmathoscalomew. You said things were too boring around here?"
Johmathoscalomew: "Yeah, but that doesn't mean you should PUNCH people!"
Josh: "Why don't we go on vacation? Explore the world, see other continents, that kinda stuff. Would be fun, right?"
Johmathoscalomew: "Yeah, but… still, what was that about last night?"
Josh: "I don't know, maybe being cooped up in Paradise for so long has made me a bit tense, hah."
Johmathoscalomew: "Alright… umm… Then I guess we could go on vacation. You wanna invite anyone else to come?"
Josh: "I don't know, maybe Hydreigon? I mean, he knows the entire world or something, might be nice to have him tag along."
Johmathoscalomew: "Anyone else?"
Josh: "Nah"
Johmathoscalomew: "When do you wanna go?"
Josh: "I'm down anytime soon."
Johmathoscalomew: "Alright, I'll ask Hydreigon and we could probably go tomorrow!"
Josh: "Awesome."
The Xatu that lives in Treasure Town just got a letter from his brother in the Air Continent.
"Oh… That's not good."

Dream of 1/8/23
Started out in a giant fallout shelter everyone except me and my supposed bf we're stickmen there was a zombie apocalypse going on and we had found a safe spot where they couldn't easily get to us but we would have to watch the entrance sometimes cause they did get through eventually. Before we knew each other we were complete strangers and just so happened to run into each other and survive together he asked what my name was and I remember saying Gohh his name ... was Jeff or something lmfao. We had a lot in common and did the same things before the breakout happened. I told him I would fix the world and he was really inspired by that. I remember there was a new room we found and for some reason going inside made everyone normal again. Like no more zombies. We look at each other and I hug him I think.
Dream shift
There was a big storm happening and we had just moved into a new house. The house was inside a giant crater of dirt, buried where you would have to find the hatch door and climb down stairs. It was huge and had 3 levels/stories to it. We were moving our belongings inside and I was trying to hurry because the storm was making me nervous. My friend or something was like I ain't coming in yet until the cake I order comes and like hxgxgxffxfz She ordered some sort of carrot cake and it came and I gave it to her and she was like UGH .... UNACCEPTABLE the cake was like plain with no frosting/icing on it and looked like someone stepped on it and she was like nope I'm not coming in until I get the cake I want. So I just leave her outside I find a red GameCube and I'm like DUUUDE I gotta plug this in. Apparently viva Pinata is on the GameCube and I was playing it. it also had a touch screen. I just remember digging the dirt off of the door and frantically trying to go inside.
dream shift
Was in a dream I didn't want to be in. A guy next to me realized this and made a deal with me, he wanted me to try and out run him through multiple stages of walls if I won he would let me transfer to another dream, if I lost he would make the dream worse. I end up losing a few times and a lot of shitty stuff is happening I realize I can't win and I cheat a little before he officially started the race I told him to like. Go check on something away from where he can see me and I just bolt through the walls and eventually make it to the ending wall and fall out of the dreams abyss (blue hell) I get transported to another dream where, I don't really want to stay in it's basically just my house I run across my yard and road into the forest and there's a bed of sunflowers that when I jump into them I get sent somewhere else. But this time I think I went in and woke up.
Bonus: I don't remember when I had this dream but I just remembered it while writing this out. I was best friends/family with this random guy. I don't remember a thing about him other than he was really cool he would make things appear out of thin air and was like, let's go on adventures together and everything was awesome until he started making bad things appear like, at first he just wanted to scare me a little and was like Hey follow me I gotta show you something awesome and I go with him and there's just a giant tripod (wotw) and it sounds it's alert horn and I fucking buckle up I'm like make it go away NOW and he's just laughing and saying I'm fine or whatever and I was like... ok whatever he won't do it again. He starts driving me around and everything is ok again then he's like oh I need you to get something for me and he directs me to another tripod and I fucking like.. I'm just mad at this point I start yelling at him saying stuff like dude I thought you were cool you need to stop this I hate it and it affects me badly I'm not joking around and he still sees it as not that big of a deal and brushes it of laughing a bit and there's like angry tears in my eyes and I yell so loud that he took me out of the dream
