Technoblade had spent more time in this room than anywhere else.
He was sure that at his point he’d been here longer than he ever stayed in the nursery, or his room, or his floor of the tower in general. He knew exactly what always pulled him to this room; he needed a distraction.
The Minecraft family were experts at distractions.
He was sure Wilbur was off somewhere distracting himself with stories he’d never write and songs he’d never play; just as Techno was distracting himself with enemies he’d never have to face.
He’d run the simulation once, twice, three times, of fighting an opponent matched in his skill. Then it was two contenders. Then three, and more, until he was fighting battalions of the machine’s best soldiers and suffering injuries he’d never feel.
He was using a wooden sword.
He had two pale blue holographic swords embedded in his back by the time he was finished with the sim. It disappeared in an instant, revealing no wound. He huffed.
He’d thought this was his chance, actually. His one chance to get closer to Wilbur, and the more he thought about it, the more stupid it seemed. He blew his chance to stay close before he ever realized they were drifting apart.
He started up the sim again.
One opponent. Parry, parry, thrust. Basic knowledge, muscle memory. (The hologram has no heartbeat.)
When Technoblade was seven, his mother died.
He knew before anyone told him. He’d gotten his powers a year ago, and it was amazing to be able to hear heartbeats. Phil said it was useful and interesting, and the agency did as well. He loved the attention.
They were in the waiting room, waiting for a new baby brother. That was what the doctors said they were getting.
Techno waited anxiously to hear a new heartbeat. Wilbur bounced in his chair.
“I think he’ll look like Mum,” Wilbur prattled on. “Or maybe he’ll be blonde! I think he might be blonde.”
“He’ll have blue eyes, I think.”
“Don’t all babies have blue eyes when they’re born?”
“Who told you that?”
“I don’t remember.”
Techno turned his attention back to the room. Still no new heartbeat.
“I can’t wait.”
“I can’t either. Do you know what they’re going to name him?”
“I heard Mom say they’d name him Tom.”
Techno hummed. “How do we know it’s even a boy?”
“Because they said so.” Wilbur tilted his head. “Unless he doesn’t want to be a boy. We’ll figure it out.”
Techno nodded vigorously.
A few beats passed, and then Wilbur frowned. “Um.”
Techno glanced at him. “What?”
“It feels bad.”
“What?”
“It feels bad,” Wilbur said again, grimacing. He shrunk back into his seat. “I can feel it. They’re sad.”
“Why are they sad??”
“I don’t know,” Wilbur mumbled. His eyes were wide and shocked, and he pulled his knees to his chest.
Wilbur had just gotten his power that year- the ability to feel other’s emotions. He would later find that he could change their emotions as well. Phil said it was a wonderful power, and the agency said nothing on the subject. Apparently, a power such as that wasn’t very useful in combat. At that age, Techno thought it was okay if he couldn’t use it in combat- they wouldn’t be fighting anyone until much later in life, right?
“I still hear mom’s heartbeat,” Techno mumbled.
“Mum,” Wilbur corrected.
“Why do you talk like that??”
“I don’t know! It doesn’t matter,” Wilbur cried, burying his head in his hands. It seemed to be less of hiding his face dramatically and more of trying to press away a headache. “I think something’s wrong.”
Techno could hear Phil’s heartbeat getting closer. He instinctually looked up when the door opened. Phil came in, looking disheveled and solemn, and Techno immediately prayed that he would say something good, and everything was fine, and mom was okay. He opened his mouth to speak, but then Wilbur blurted, “Why are you all sad in there?”
Phil snapped his mouth shut and stared at them for a long time.
“Is mom alright?” Techno asked finally.
“Your mother is fine, thankfully.” Phil confirmed, smiling in a way that was probably supposed to be reassuring.
“What about the baby?”
“There’s no heartbeat, Wil, the baby isn’t here yet.”
Phil gulped. “He is here, Techno. He’s just- well, it’s- it’s difficult to explain.”
Techno’s eyes widened. Wilbur whimpered.
Tommy had been, in fact, a stillborn.
And later that day, when Kristen knew nobody was near enough to stop her, she would use her power to bring Tommy back from the dead. In the process, she exhausted herself beyond repair.
Techno knew she was dead the moment he set eyes on her. His mother was laying there completely still, just like they said Tommy had been, with no heartbeat in her chest. Instead, was the quiet, weak heartbeat of the boy in her arms.
Wilbur asked if she was sleeping. He didn’t understand. It wouldn’t be the only time Techno got the urge to scream at him.
Parry, parry, thrust.
When Technoblade was ten, he was pulled away from his brothers to speak to a woman from the agency. She had bleached blonde hair in a bun and calculating green eyes. Her heartbeat was normal. There was no threat. (She was wearing very very cheap perfume, though. Techno wrinkled his nose.)
“Blade, you know you’re a good fighter, right? You’ve been doing very well in your combat classes.”
They all called him Blade even when he was little. Maybe they thought it was his nickname, an endearing way to get on his good side. But they said it like it was a title, like he was important- and he wanted to be important so so badly.
“Mm-hm.”
“Well, you’ve also been spending a lot of time outside of class with your brothers,” She began, “And we’re going to be putting you in more classes soon.”
“…Mm-hm.”
She sighed. “And you know… your brother, Wilbur? You know he struggles a bit with combat and some other subjects?”
Techno did know. He’d listened to nine-year-old Wilbur rattle on and on about how they wanted him to do this and told him to do that and he was tired and bored and sad, and he wished he could just play with Techno all day. Techno had seen Wilbur try to fight, too- he was only nine, so it wasn’t a great age to make assumptions, but he kind of moved like a wet blanket.
The agent smiled sheepishly. “Well, because of your new classes, you won’t be able to spend much time with him anymore. In general, me and the agency think it’s best if you… distance yourself from him.”
“…I’m sorry?”
And that was the moment that set Techno on a track to hell.
“You see, we don’t want him to be a bad influence on you. You’re moving to more advanced classes throughout the day to prepare you for real hero training, and you’ll be spending your break in the library-” (Break, not breaks, because they were only giving him one then,) “-and both of you need to focus as much as possible on your studies.”
“I-” Techno blinked and frowned. “I have to stop talking to him?”
“No! Stop talking to him, heavens, no. He’s your brother, you can still bond! Just in the mornings and night, now. You see, Blade-” She beamed reassuringly. “We just don’t want anyone to slow you down.”
Looking back on it, he should have seen something wrong. He should have fought harder, pressed further, asked them if Phil had said anything about it- but at the time, it didn’t seem too bad. Just a few more classes and a little more distance. It should have been fine.
Parry, parry, thrust.
When Technoblade was eleven, just a few months later, he and Wilbur had a fight.
They were alone at that time. Phil was busy putting Tommy to bed.
“Techno,” Wilbur mumbled, “Why don’t I see you anymore?”
“They put me in other classes,” the older replied simply.
“Can’t we play in between them?”
“They don’t want me to. They say it’s bad for me.”
Wilbur scowled and stabbed at his dinner. “It’s because you’re better than me.”
Techno frowned. “I’m not better than you, I just- I don’t know. I’m not.”
“Everybody says you are,” Wilbur continued. “They go Oh, Blade is in advanced classes! He’s so strong! Try to be more like him! It makes me so mad.”
“I didn’t ask to be in a different class!”
“I didn’t ask to be bad at everything, either! You’re doing it on purpose!”
“No, I’m not!”
“It’s not fair,” Wilbur yelled, face turning rapidly pink. “You shouldn’t get all the attention all the time! You aren’t better than me!”
“I know!”
“Then act like it!”
There was a loud thump from the hall of a door slamming, and then a beat of silence.
Every heart in the room was pounding when Phil walked in. Wilbur’s from anger, Phil’s from fear. His shoulders slumped with relief when he knew they were safe. “Boys, what the hell? What’s wrong?”
“Phil, he’s angry at me because-”
“Stop calling him that!” Wilbur screamed. “Stop calling him Phil! He’s our dad, you’re supposed to call him dad!”
The father in question was promptly shoved to the side as the boy ran to his room. He did not come out until the next day at noon.
To Techno, the outburst had come from nowhere. He wondered if anyone ever saw his little brother becoming a ticking time bomb. It had been more than a decade since then and neither of them could handle their emotions any more maturely.
Techno’s skill with a blade was the only thing reminding him he was more capable now, and he wasn’t a little kid trying to hold the world together.
Parry, parry, duck, thrust.
When Technoblade was thirteen, he was put into hero training. He got perfect scores on all the tests, despite being a year younger than the usual age, and qualified for special training. Two years later, Wilbur took the test at fourteen and got scores that Technoblade remembered being called “Adequate” by the agency, which was bullshit because he’d seen Wilbur take the test and he’d done even better than average. (Nothing the agency does is bullshit, they’re managing the heroes well and helping the city and you should be grateful, his overstuffed mind rattled.)
Parry, parry, thrust.
“Mother of ender-”
Techno blinked rapidly. The hologram was gone, and in its place was the assistant.
“Ranboo?” Techno had accidentally pushed the wooden sword against the teen’s throat. He lowered his weapon. “You teleported out of nowhere. Jesus, I need to get used to that.”
Ranboo chuckled nervously. “It’s fine! I’m just- y’know. A little scared out of my mind.”
Techno rolled his eyes and went to hang up the blade. “It’s a wood sword.”
“You once beat ten enhanced bodyguards with your hands tied. I don’t want to be on the wrong end of any kind of weapon.”
Techno did do that. He came out of it with a sprained wrist and several ugly bruises on his back. He treated all of them himself because the last time anyone sent him to the infirmary was months ago.
“Do you need something?”
“Um, yes! There’s some paperwork I have to give you, you also have some emails asking for interview opportunities, and another toy company sucking up for some merch.” Ranboo pulled an overstuffed folder of papers out of his bag and handed them to Techno.
Techno glanced at them once and then tossed them on a side bench. “Great.”
Ranboo grimaced. “Those… need to be done tonight.”
“And I’ll do them.”
“Will you?”
Techno walked to the control panel and stated another simulator with three opponents. “Sure.”
Ranboo teleported to the side when a hologram tried to put a sword in his chest. He seemed more worried about Techno’s procrastination. “You think maybe you should work on them now, actually? Get a head start?”
“I have all night,” Techno grunted, decapitating a hologram.
“Not if you plan to sleep.”
Techno did not answer. He simply huffed and kept fighting.
Ranboo sighed. He teleported away from another hologram with a sword and began to walk away. Before he left, the teen called over his shoulder, “I’ll be back later.”
“Why?”
“To make sure you actually do the work.”
And he was gone.
Techno rolled his eyes.
He wished he could say there was nothing on earth that disturbed him, but Ranboo was most definitely one of them. Generally, anyone with a teleportation power (and it’s not even his power, it’s an upside to being half Enderman and we don’t even know what his power is, which is arguably worse.) People with powers like that could be anywhere at any time, could move people and things without a trace of ever being there, could be listening to any conversation at any moment.
Phil had been tripping over paperwork when he hired Ranboo to help him out- the kid seemed to enjoy busy work and making himself useful. Phil told Techno himself that when he went to the agency with Ranboo’s resume, they were skeptical about hiring someone who “Isn’t entirely human.” Phil glared at them and flared his wings in their direction as if to say Just say you don’t like hybrids. Just say it for once.
Techno tried to be nice to him, but Ranboo just kept showing up at the most inconvenient times- such as on the sharp end of Techno’s sword.
He added two more adversaries to the simulator. At this level of fighting, he didn’t have room to be still or think. Stab, spin, cut that one, kill them. All his validation was stored in the blue lights glimmering out of sight.
And with not much room for thinking, his overstuffed mind still managed to fit terrible thoughts between the cracks of the agency, and of his family, and Ranboo, and Wilbur, until each hologram felt like a thought he had to just stamp out before it took him over.
I’m the one who’s hurting, Wilbur’s voice echoed in the crevices of Techno’s head. I’m the one having a bad time. I don’t need you to tell me.
Then tell me, Techno thought with frustration. Talk to me. Say something before you lash out. Give me a warning, anything.
A hologram came for him with a knife. It looked like Wilbur. Leave me alone, it said. Technoblade tried to kill it, he tried to stamp it out, he reached with his blade.
He stumbled and fell.
Without so much as a sound, the hologram’s knife found it’s way into Techno’s chest. He stared at the turquoise weaponry for a moment and then it disappeared from sight.
Techno lost. The simulator ended. When Techno blinked rapidly, he could see the outline of the dagger behind his eyes.
(He wished and pleaded it was real, for a split second.)
He stumbled to stand up, moving towards the center console.
“Blade?”
“Oh, fuck you,” Techno whispered under his breath, wincing as Ranboo came into view.
“Your brother sent me to give you food.”
“Tommy?”
“Yep.” Ranboo held out the bowl of reheated kraft mac ‘n cheese. “Gourmet stuff.”
Techno stared at it and huffed. It only hit him now how hungry he was, but he couldn’t very much move to grab it because his muscles ached.
“…are you alright?”
“Yep.”
“…You have bruises, Blade.”
He looked down at his arms. Techno did, in fact, have red splotches down his forearms.
“…Oh.”
“You’re fighting holograms, how does that happen??” Ranboo set down the bowl of food and took a step forward.
“Blood vessels pop under pressure and the blood cells pool under the skin. Intense exercise,” Techno murmured, repeating words that doctors had told him once, twice, over and over.
He reached to restart the sim, and his knees promptly buckled beneath him.
He saw violet dust swirl in his vision.
“Why the hell did you do this?” Ranboo hissed. “This is the third time you’ve passed out during training.”
“I need to keep going,” Techno grunted.
“No, you don’t.”
“Yes, I do.”
“Tommy is going to kill me,” Ranboo said. “Wilbur will too.”
“Wilbur could not possibly give less of a shit.”
“I’m going to teleport you into the sun.”
Instead of to the sun, Ranboo teleported them to Techno’s room. His head swam.
“You have to know when to quit,” Ranboo insisted.
“I’m not a quitter,” Techno mumbled in return, because he wasn’t. I’m not.
“Just- get some rest, please.”
“I don’t need it.”
“Yes, you do.”
“No.”
“Yes.”
“Blade, you’re being a child right now. That’s what’s happening. You never learned how to properly deal with conflict, and now you’re overworking yourself to prove your worth, and this is the result,” Ranboo ranted, but it sounded like he was saying it more to himself than to Technoblade.
Techno practically fell onto his bed. “Would it kill you to just call me Techno?”
Ranboo blinked. Before he could respond, a notification sound rang through the room. He checked his phone.
“Extra large coconuts,” Ranboo read in a monotone voice.
Techno squinted at him. “What?”
“A friend texted me. He has a concussion.”
“Ah.”
Ranboo pocketed his phone with a sigh. “If I leave you here, can you promise you won’t try to hobble back to the training room?”
“I will attempt to try to want to stay here and lie around like a lazy ass.”
“Good enough. Tommy’s in the living room if you try to escape.”
“He can’t stop me.”
Ranboo opened his mouth to respond, but a voice behind them exclaimed, “Yes I could!”
And then there was Tommy, tousled hair and all. He looked like he was going to bed. Techno scowled at him. “So, you’re ganging up on me?” His head lolled to the side, and he frowned dramatically at the ceiling. “This is tyranny. Treason. Anarchy, even.”
“Why do you have red on your arms??” Tommy stepped halfway into the room, looking over the scene.
“He fought so hard he broke his veins or something.”
“Blood vessels,” Techno growled, grabbing the blanket and pulling it over himself. He felt somewhat self-conscious.
He had been so cold for so long, and his bed was so warm, and Ranboo was shaking his head.
“Yeah, you’re not getting up any time soon.”
“He’s like a cat,” Tommy remarked, rubbing his eyes. “Oh, and Wilbur’s in the living room. So.”
Techno groaned and pulled the blanket over his head.
“Tommy, Tubbo has a concussion.”
“Aw, fuck. Alright.”
Their voices disappeared.
It occurred to him, between berating himself and dreading Wilbur eventually finding him, that he had just been forced to take care of himself by the hero assistant.
His last thought before he passed out was, the kid is alright.

❅ ❅ ❅
Everyone is gathered around the table. Calum’s parents, Mali, Ashton, Luke, Michael and their respective partners. Mila sits in her reclined high chair right next to you and Calum; she’s still too small for a proper high chair and too young for solid food. But everyone loves her company at the table and fawns over her without faltering. Calum reaches for your hand while he keeps one on Mila, the near six month old entertained by her dad’s little tickles and boops on the nose. There’s a happiness inside of you as you take in all of the guests for your Christmas celebration. But as you keep looking around a hollow wound begins to open and ache again. Not everyone is here. You bite your lip and bite back emotions threatening to bubble over. You don’t want to ruin the evening.
“I can’t believe how big she’s gotten,” Calum’s mother coos from across the table.
Both you and Calum don’t see her as growing. You still see the baby fighting for life in an incubator, your daughter that could fit in one hand. You know she must be growing, getting stronger and smarter and more adept to the world around her. But you don’t see it yet. The changes are so gradual that when you’re with her everyday they slip past your eyes.
“She’s still my little girl,” Luke says and everyone shoots him a look.
“No, she’s my little girl,” Calum corrects around a laugh and shaking head. “Someone needs to get you your own baby before you try to take mine.”
Luke blushes but not in the humbleness of trying to claim Mila. He shrugs and waves a hand through the air to downplay Calum’s suggestion.
“If she’s anybody’s…” Mali says and trails off to look at you with a smile.
That warms your heart though you know it’s only half true. As much as Mila is yours she’s Calum’s too. You both love her with all of your hearts and as far as you can tell she loves you both equally. If she’s not with both of you she’s with one or the other. Calum pulled her first laugh from her but he often reminds you she first smiled at the mention and sight of you. Everyone simmers back into Christmas conversation, asking about presents for Mila and plans for the big day. Calum goes nonchalant and you catch the forced casualty but don’t question it; so much else is already on your mind.
“Sweetheart, you okay?” Calum asks in a whisper pressed to your ear.
You nod, downplaying the fact that you’re not sure about that answer. It amazes you he can pick up on the subtleties in your mood even when you try to mask it with all of your might. You steel yourself, try to shake away the crushing feeling pressing down on you at two empty chairs. You squeeze Calum’s hand and quietly stand to get Mila in your arms.
“I’m gonna go feed her,” you explain and gently take her to you and quietly disappear down the hallway.
Calum sits back in his chair and quietly muses over what to do. He thinks he knows what’s going on, eyes trailing to the same two chairs that were once in your sights. He knows you have Mila and wonders if maybe you want space from the event around you or space from everyone.
“Everything alright?” Ashton asks, his seat diagonal to Calum’s, his ability to pick up on his best friend’s distress a natural talent.
“I’m not sure,” Calum answers honestly and stands to excuse himself and go figure it out. “I’ll be back.”
He roams down the hall quietly but quickly. The door to the nursery is open and the room is empty. He moves past it to your bedroom door that stands shut. He doesn’t hear anything and while it would normally be a sign of relief a little tremble of anxiety slices through him. Usually you’d be murmuring to Mila, giggling with her or if she wasn’t hungry already back out to join the dinner. He taps his knuckles softly against the door and calls out to you to announce that he’s entering.
He stops short as soon as the door is open. You have Mila in your arms but you’re not feeding her. You’re sat on the edge of the bed cradling her against your chest, rocking slightly back and forth as silent tears fall down your face. Calum can feel his heart shatter at the sight and moves on instinct to the two of you. You look up and meet his gaze but don’t say a word, both of you communicating silently; always knowing what’s on the other's mind and in their heart and worries. Calum gently coaxes Mila from your arms to put her in her bassinet by the bed. She seems mostly unbothered, not able to understand anything but the comfort of your arms. She stirs a little bit as she settles in but is okay enough for Calum to seek you out and offer his arms for you to fall into.
“You wanna talk about it?” he asks as he wraps you up in his hold and runs a soothing hand down your back.
“Yes, no, I don’t know,” you answer in a shaking voice. “I just feel so stupid. I should know better by now.”
Calum shakes his head at your words and the fact you genuinely feel that way. It wrenches at him. He knows exactly what you’re talking about and though he wants to defend you to the bottom of the ocean and back he wants you to come to some realizations on your own as well.
“They should do better,” Calum simply mumbles and runs his hands through your hair. He hopes you understand what he means. The struggle you’ve had with your parents being life long. You deserve better than empty promises and last minute cancellations.
“I thought maybe with Christmas and Mila it might be different, I thought they might try a little harder,” you finally manage to get out after a moment of prolonged silence. “It’s okay for them to cancel on me. I’m used to it. Mila deserves more. They haven’t even met her yet.”
Calum can hear the heart break in your words. He knows how heavily their absence in Mila’s life has hung over you. He sees the way you look at his parents interactions with Mila and the way you wish your parents would do the same. So many times you’ve tried to reach out to them and so many times they’ve let you down. He always reminds you that you have him and Mila and his parents and Mali and the guys as family but he understands it’s not quite the same and that a little hollow piece of you still yearns for your parents approval and care.
“You deserve better too,” Calum says and hopes you’ll believe it.
“It stopped bothering me for a while, I accepted they didn’t want to put in effort for me,” you explain around a few sniffles, face firmly planted against Calum’s chest as rogue tears stain his shirt. “It was pretty clear when they didn’t show up to meet you or to our wedding. I thought I was over it. Then we had Mila and almost lost her and it’s like they didn’t even care. Now it’s Christmas and they still don’t care. She’s the sweetest little girl, she deserves grandparents, she deserves everything. It breaks my heart. Why don’t they care?”
Calum has no answer to the shattering question you pose and even if he did he knows nothing—no answer or explanation—will ever justify their absence. He stays silent and holds you. Rocks back and forth with you in his arms almost like you both do with Mila. He can feel with every little motion that you’re trying to pull yourself together but he’s always been the place that you can fall apart. He doesn’t coax you to do anything. Just stays with you, becomes a presence to help fill the void.
“Sweetheart,” he finally mumbles after minutes of quiet. He feels your clutch on him tighten as you slightly shift to meet his gaze. His fingers lightly settle under your chin to keep you with him. “She doesn’t need them. They don’t deserve her or you.”
“What?” you mumble out the one worded question; clearly hearing the words but unable to grasp them fully.
“She doesn’t need them, she has me and you. You give her more love than imaginable,” Calum explains and you nod to show you understand. He lets out a breath and so do you though it shakes. “If they don’t care to try they don’t deserve to have you keep trying. You’re too good for them. So is Mila, look at her,” Calum explains further and coaxes you to raise your head and find your reason for everything. Mila smiles when you meet eyes with her and it’s enough to convince you of Calum’s words.
“I just feel bad she’ll grow up missing part of her family,” you finally admit and maybe it’s more or less about her and you.
“With all of those people out there who love her, she’ll never miss a thing,” Calum says and grins to himself as a thought enters his mind. “And I mean, Luke did walk you down the aisle so that kinda makes him her pseudo grandpa?”
You erupt into laughter and shake your head no. “Don’t even joke about that with him. He’s already vying for favorite uncle. We don’t need him fighting your dad to be the favorite grandfather.”
Calum purses his lips as he contemplates the very real possibility of that before laughing with you. He wipes away remnants of tears on your face and gives you another moment to collect yourself. Once he finds that you’re back together he gives you a little nuzzle. “Ready to get back out there?”
You nod and stand. Mila lights up and lets out a little noise as you bring her back into your arms. You keep her close and Calum stays by your side as you head back out to the dining room where your family waits. They all greet you warmly but don’t comment on or question your disappearance. You keep Mila in your hold instead of putting her back in her high chair. Small talk resumes and eventually Ashton proposes a toast.
“To a good holiday season,” he finishes.
“And to family,” you pitch in and make everyone agree. Glasses clink. “Thanks for being here with us.”
Everyone agrees with the sentiment and says there’s nowhere else they’d rather be. In that moment, gathered with those who love and care for you and your daughter, it’s easy to let go of those who don’t and to appreciate all that you have. When one of Calum’s hands grabs for yours and the other gently holds Mila’s you’re also sure there’s nowhere else you’d rather be.
If you’d like to be added to my tag list just let me know!

Episode 41 was another fun one! It doesn’t seem related to the main plot, but that’s ok because we needed more world-building. And it does give us a bit of character development. Most importantly of all, it’s the DESPERATELY needed Sora-focused episode. And it’s all hers. We really needed this for Sora and I’m really happy with how it went down. It’s a simple, easy to follow story, and yet it was still cute and funny and good for Sora.
My one complaint would be that, though it’s great to see Sora be awesome and see her friends appreciate her, she didn’t seem to have something she needed to “overcome” like Jou and Koushirou, or something she had to prove like Yamato and Mimi. There’s definitely an important theme for Sora which, like the others, is related to her Crest. It just didn’t have the gravitas I felt it needed. It was a much sillier episode than Yamato’s, for instance. (But nowhere near as silly as Jou’s.) Still, overall very good.
Pic of the day:
Tumblr media
A vision of perfection.
More below!
First off, the animation in this episode is really nice. Almost uniform througohut, and some seriously great expressions. CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE
Tumblr media
The kids are taking a break (yay!!!! again!! I sweat the producers are reading my blog, HELLO PRODUCERS, THANKS FOR GIVING ME EVERYTHING I ASKED FOR, lol). Taichi and Sora spend it teaching the Digimon to play soccer. Interestingly, some of the Digimon evolve in order to play x’D I guess I can see why Gomamon can’t really play unless he’s Ikkakumon. Plus Tailmon is already Adult level anyway.
Tumblr media
It’s really fun to see how much Sora and Taichi both love soccer and love playing it together. Koushirou has a cute moment explaining to the others how awesome Taichi and Sora’s teamwork is.
Tumblr media
Sora blows the whistle on Tentomon for grabbing her because you don’t do that in soccer. I think this is a little unfair given that Tentomon can’t really kick the ball that well since he’s got bug feet xD
Tumblr media
The whistle Sora has, for some reason, is Jou’s, given to him by his brother so that if he runs into a bear in the woods, he can whistle for help. Lol. That is adorable and hilarious. Still wish it was Hikari’s whistle though
Tumblr media
Speaking of Hikari, she and Takeru are happily engaged in making flower crowns together while Patamon smushes the grass.
Tumblr media
All of a sudden, these weird, veiny meteors come crashing from a huge island floating in the sky, leaving a crater in the field. Could be dangerous!
Tumblr media
Taichi: I’m not afraid. Besides, I’m curious.
Tumblr media
Yamato: Be careful, Takeru.
Takeru: Yeah, be careful, Hikari.
omg too cute
Tumblr media
I mean look at these expressions and body language. It’s fantastic. I love how Taichi looks like he’s trying not to get too close as he pokes the object with a stick and how Koushirou is like hiding behind his computer lol.
Tumblr media
They discover it’s not a meteor, but a fruit. (And look another adorable Taichi face!) Question is, is it edible?
Tumblr media
Agumon: Sure is!
Taichi: D:
no seriously I love Taichi being freaked out by his own partner. Lol. It’s one of the best things about Taichi & Agumon. I ate it up in Tri lol
Tumblr media
So, I expected Yamato to be the downer of the group here along with Jou, but he’s just concerned that the fruit is too small for everyone to share. Aw what a mom.
It’s also pretty funny that, when a floating island appears and a mysterious fruit falls down with enough strength to leave a crater in the ground, the kids’ reaction isn’t to wonder about what’s going on, but to try to figure out how to eat it lol.
At this point they’re just so used to floating islands that it’s lost all novelty. They’re like, “oh, floating island, been there done that”
Tumblr media
Agumon comes up with the obvious solution and Taichi and Sora fly up to the island together to get more fruit. Why only two of them go... is convenience for the episode xD
Tumblr media
But it does lead to some good Sora moments and Taichi/Sora friendship. First, Sora is absolutely adorable. Even Agumon comments that she seems in a really good mood and Taichi can tell it’s because of how much she loves playing soccer. The way Sora talks to him, all fast and excited, is just so cute. You can tell she really loves soccer, especially with Taichi.
This episode kinda made me ship Taiora ;_; it was honestly more Taiora than any one episode in the 99 show...
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, another giant object starts falling off the island towards the rest of the kids, and Palmon makes THE WEIRDEST SOUND. Like SO WEIRD. I think Yamada Kinoko passed out and made this noise while recording or something bahahahaha
Tumblr media
Anyway it’s a refrigerator. Now appliances are falling out of the sky. I don’t understand why it makes the same size crater as the fruit despite being way heavier.
Tumblr media
OMG baby Taichi’s hairrrrrrr I cannot
Tumblr media
Soon they come across Flymon (why do Sora episodes always involved bugs...? This is the third time lol) who’s abducted a very helpless looking Digimon. They decide to help. Agumon gears up his Baby Flame but is stopped by Sora, who realizes that if they attack they might hurt the victim as well. I assume this is meant to tell us that, while Taichi’s brave and a strategist, another pair of eyes from someone like Sora whose first priority is others’ welfare is a big help.
Tumblr media
... except that Sora’s plan for “tackle them” doesn’t seem to me that much better xD It still results in the poor abducted Digimon falling through the sky to her doom... I guess it’s better than falling out of the sky and alsobeing on fire tho
Tumblr media
They catch the Digimon, who is Pomumon and just as pathetic as he looks. Meanwhile they’re being attacked by... Tropaliamon? Tropicanamon? lol I already forgot, a big bird with the ability to MELT ENTIRE FORESTS.
Tumblr media
Pomumon explains that Evil Tropical Bird-mon and his Flymon invaded the island and started turning all the Pomumon into fruit. When the fruit ripen, they eat them. Pomumon is now the only Pomumon who hasn’t been fruit-ified.
Agumon: ... so... does this make me a cannibal?
Taichi: Maybe now you’ll be mindful of what you eat!
Tumblr media
Okay and now the most AMAZING interaction ever, between Yamato and Mimi, and seriously it is a TRAVESTY that they don’t interact directly in the 99 series, I mean LOOK AT THE GOLD WE GET HERE,
Mimi says she hopes there’s fruit or juice in the fridge. Yamato makes an expression like someone just insulted his mother.
Tumblr media
They then proceed to argue over what constitutes “juice” and Yamato’s all fired up about it and Mimi’s just like “lol not listening”
IT IS HILARIOUS. Quality content. Mimato shippers eat your heart out
And... this is all they do for the rest of the episode. bahaha. I DON’T EVEN CARE. I love the idea that they fought over this the WHOLE time and never even opened the fridge. The others just had to listen in baffled astonishment xD
Tumblr media
Taichi and Sora fight Evil Tropical Bird-mon to save the Pomumon, but Taichi and MetalGreymon get knocked into the pitcher plant that turns Digimon into fruit.
Tumblr media
Metla Greymon doesn’t quite fit into the fruit, his horns are really stretching it out lol.
Tumblr media
and asdfghjkkl;’‘ TAICHI GETS TURNED INTO A FRUIT TOO, HE’S A DEFORMED BLUEBERRY, HIS GOGGLES THO, LMFAO
i really shouldn’t be as amused as I am
now... I have to say it - the one thing here is, the show has already played its trump cards like Omegamon and WarGreymon. I am sure they have more in store before the end, but the point is, it’s hard to believe Taichi is struggling against Digimon who seem like they shouldn’t have a chance against him. It’s like, you can defeat DoneDevimon, but not Evil-Tropical-Birdmon? You can escape the influence of Millenniumon’s miasma, but not a pitcher plant?? lol
Tumblr media
Sora gets ANGRY when Taichi becomes Taichi-fruit. Her Crest of Love glows and brings out Garudamon. Taiora fans around the world screamed.
Tumblr media
One way or another, this leaves Sora on her own (yay). And she is a busy girl. She wants to save Taichi first, but Pomumon also needs her help, and Garudamon needs her support while fighting the enemy.
Tumblr media
Pomumon: don’t worry about me! I can fly on my own! *fails miserably*
Tumblr media
Sora’s face says “I just don’t understand this world,” lol
Tumblr media
They are then attacked by Flymon, and Pomumon still pretty much expects Sora to protect him. Sora’s like, “Fine, I’ll deal with Flymon, but you have to go save your friends,” and when Pomumon asks how, she just says “GOOD LUCK” and tosses him away, which honestly made me laugh out loud, you go girl
she’s like QUIT BEING SO USELESS DO SOMETHING ON YOUR OWN and just chucks him
buhahahaha
Tumblr media
Pomumon, despite being useless, is able to free one of his comrades. After a brief discussion about how useless they are, they go to save the others.
I believe I can fly
I believe I can touch the sky
think about it every night and day
spread my wings and fly away
Tumblr media
Sora thinks back to yet another soccer game where another student did a foul, I guess, on Taichi, and knocks him to the ground. Seeing Sora get so angry and protective of Taichi - omg, it totally squeezes my heat, gah. And it also makes her look so cool. Not just the girl in the back who comforts you when you fall down - also the one who runs up and tells the bully to back off!
Tumblr media
that hair tho
Tumblr media
Even though he’d been hurt, Taichi encouraged Sora not to quit playing and to win the game. In present time, Sora recalls that instance and uses it to push herself onward:
Tumblr media
At this point, I could’ve gotten annoyed: as much as I loved the Taiora friendship and seeing their teamwork, it’s Sora’s episode, and I didn’t want her to succeed because of “what I learned from Taichi.” However, it’s very similar to Koushirou’s episode, where it was the faith Taichi had in him that gave Koushirou the confidence to find the courage he already had. It’s similar for Sora. Plus, since she’s got the Crest of Love, it makes perfect sense that love for her friend would be a motivating factor here.
Tumblr media
On top of that - the things Sora thinks about Taichi are then echoed by Garudamon, only about Sora. Sora won’t give up because Taichi never does - and Garudamon won’t give up because Sora never does. You can see the chain reaction: friends building each other up through their support and faith in each other. Very sweet.
Tumblr media
buhahahahahaha the freaking taichi blueberry
Tumblr media
I really expected Taichi would be a little more wigged out about having been TURNED INTO A FRUIT,  but once he’s free he’s like “Thanks, now let’s get back to the fight!” lol
to be fair there were only a couple minutes left in the episode, no time for freak outs i suppose
Tumblr media
They save MetalGreymon who goes to back up Garudamon, but then Sora comes up with a plan.
Tumblr media
Of course, it’s related to soccer.
Tumblr media
Obligatory Cool Girl Soccer Star Sora shot
Tumblr media
They kick the ball to lead the Pomumon’s seed? attack directly into Evil Tropical Bird-mon’s mouth. This... seems to be our kids’ favorite play this season, lmao
Tumblr media
While choking on seeds, Garudamon and MetalGreymon launch their attacks and finally defeat him. Yaaaay goodbye weirdass fruit transmogrifying cannibal Digimon bird thing
Tumblr media
Taichi tells Sora she’s awesome T______T It’s soooooooo sweet. My Taiora heart leapt
and my Taishiro heart whispered “he said カッコよかった to her but saves すごい for Koushirou <3 “ lol
Tumblr media
Soooooo cute. MVP
Tumblr media
Garudamon agrees that Sora is awesome
Tumblr media
Ending card
So... the honest truth is yeah, this episode wasn’t necessary for the plot at all, and it would have been nice if it had been. But not all of the others’ center episodes were plot-related either. The important thing was for it to be wholly Sora’s episode and give her some Crest-related development. It did both those things.
I really would have liked a conundrum for Sora to fix, but I think the problem there is, since before now she wasn’t getting attention at all, they hadn’t set much of a foundation for that conundrum. The first time around, it was “oh, Sora is kind, so she wants to help anyone she sees” and there was a bit of personality clash with Yamato. Though it was small, it was a good bit of development and useful for two characters. It also led to Yamato and Sora’s friendship strengthening. With Taichi and Sora, we’ve been told they’re friends and teammates, but have not seen many strong examples of that. And, if there’s a fight between them, it could easily turn into a Taichi episode... that’s what I think anyway. So I guess the focus point for this episode was showing how Sora’s deep love for her friends strengthens her already, and maybe there’ll be more complex problems in the future, perhaps when she gets her next evolution... We’ll see.
Anyway. Good episode. So glad to see this show seems to be pretty solidly back on the rails. We only have like 20 episodes left though, seems like a lot but it’ll go fast.
That’s why I’m a bit surprised to see that next week looks like another not really plot-related episode:
Tumblr media
Takeru and Yamato are going to a theme park. There’s no context for why they’re not with the others, but my guess is Takeru wanted to go and Yamato took him... easy as that xD I guess we’ll see, but I really hope this doesn’t mean the team is splitting up again.
Tumblr media
However, we really do need quality time with Yamato and Takeru as well, so I’m all for this. It’s like the show really has got some self-awareness about how lax it’s been developing characters and relationships thus far and is now cranking it HARD to fit everything in we’ve been missing. Good.

Ƹ̵̡Ӝ̵̨̄Ʒ
Buzzed (Jungkook One-Shot, Smut, Angst) Part Two
As I led Jungkook up to my apartment, I realized just how light I felt. Maybe things would be okay. After all, I had a smokin’ hot guy ready to fuck me into oblivion with a glimmer of hope for more. Between the way this day started and the way it was going to end, I began to realize that maybe my break-up wasn’t a bad thing. What’s that saying again? One door closes, and another one opens?
And boy, was this door definitely opening. Jungkook couldn’t even wait to begin, sliding his large hands up and down my thighs and over my ass, pressing himself into me as I unlocked the door. Anticipation shot shivers through my skin, raising goosebumps and causing a rush that had nothing to do with the alcohol I consumed earlier. I sighed into his touch, enjoying the way his nimble fingers played with the hem of my shirt, grazing over the skin of my navel. “Stop,” I giggled. “That tickles.”
With a smirk, Jungkook did no such thing, continuing to tickle my waist even as we stumbled through the door. I laughed harder, swatting his hands away, his grin growing wider and wider until it practically filled the room.
We fell onto the couch, and the tension in the air switched over from lighthearted fun to something more sensual. Jungkook just looked at me for a moment, brushing my bangs away from my face, his dark eyes wide and bright as he looked up and down my face. “What’re you looking at?” I murmured.
“You,” he replied simply.
He stroked his forefinger down the skin of my cheek, making me swallow hard. “What about me?” I whispered.
Jungkook looked straight into my eyes with his, prying my soul open with every second his stare bore into me. His tongue darted out of his mouth, momentarily distracting me with the way it prodded that perfect cupid’s bow. I looked back up, his pupils blowing as my gaze snagged back onto his eyes. So slowly I almost didn’t realize what was happening, Jungkook’s eyelids fluttered shut and he leaned in, pressing his lips to mine with an intensity that made my head spin.
His kisses started off slow and sensual, his tongue erotically slipping in and out of my mouth. I tasted the spice of whiskey and moaned. He broke apart from me to let out a cocky chuckle. “Good girl,” he murmured, leaning back in and devouring my mouth with his.
The sound of his lips colliding with mine combined with his deep, approving grunts was making me feel some type of way. I suddenly became very aware of the way his body fit in between my legs, the way a couple layers of clothing were the only things separating us, and the way moisture seeped into my panties at the thought of what was to come.
As if he could smell my arousal, Jungkook let out a growl and ramped things up by feverishly pressing hard kisses to my lips, each one getting more and more sloppy as his tongue worked wonders. I came into this feeling mostly sober, but now I was sure I was drunk again.
I grabbed onto the collar of his leather jacket, practically ripping it from his shoulders. Jungkook complied, tossing it onto the floor behind us. The thin, white shirt he had on underneath followed, and I ran my hands all over his newly naked torso, appreciating the muscles that rippled up and down his sinful body. Jungkook stopped ravaging my lips only to nip at the skin of my neck, leaving behind red stains that I knew would fade to a nice, dark purple.
His fingers once again played with the hem of my shirt, raising it above my navel, and I shuddered with pleasure as the bare skin of his stomach touched mine. Jungkook let up wreaking havoc on my previously flawless skin only to raise the shirt over my head and toss it next to where his leather jacket lay. With a heaving chest, he looked me up and down, his dark eyes catching on the curve of my breasts. “Take it off,” he ordered.
Slowly, teasingly, I reached behind me and unclipped my bra. Dragging the straps tantalizingly down the skin of my shoulders, I smirked as his mouth parted open and his pupils widened once more. I held the fabric over my body for a tense few seconds before finally letting it drop to the floor.
Jungkook closed his mouth and swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing. “Fuck,” he groaned. “This is what you were hiding underneath those clothes, and that asshole still let you go?”
He shook his head in disbelief. “I don’t know any guy in their right mind who would choose some bitch over this fine-ass body.”
As he spoke, he stepped close and cupped my breasts before gently tweaking my nipples, causing me to throw my head back and groan from the pleasure he was inciting. “That’s right, sweetheart,” he murmured, an approving smirk sliding across his lips. “Moan for me.”
Jungkook’s hands slid downward, and his fingers slipped through the belt loops of my jeans before he yanked me close. My skin ran flush against his skin, my breasts pressing into his pectorals as he wrapped his arms around me and kissed me once more, his tongue feverishly invading my cavern with an unstoppable force. In turn, I also wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him as close as possible… Yet, I still wanted more.
In one swift, bold move, I dropped to my knees and began fiddling with the button on his jeans. “Uh uh, sweetie,” Jungkook scolded, dropping to his knees as well. “You can suck my dick any other time, but tonight? Tonight is all about you.”
I nearly whined at his denial, but stopped when I saw the look in his eyes. Obediently, I lay on my back, the carpet itching the sensitive skin of my back. Jungkook skillfully popped open the button on my jeans before leaning down and kissing my breasts. His tongue laved at my right nipple as he squeezed and pulled at my left with practiced fingers. Continuing his ministrations down to my navel, Jungkook flicked his tongue over my belly button, making my breath hitch in my throat.
He finally reached my jeans, and I propped myself up on my elbows, curious as to what he would do next. What I didn’t expect was for Jungkook to take my zipper between his perfect, white teeth and drag it downwards, drawing out a loud moan from between my lips, his eyes never leaving mine. He chuckled softly at my reaction. “You like that, sweetheart?”
I could do nothing but nod, my ability to speak impaired by the aching need between my thighs. Grasping the hem of my jeans, Jungkook slid them off me, taking his time with each inch of fabric, relishing in the way I gasped when my skin finally met air. He dragged a finger between my legs, over my folds, and showed me the slick moisture he gathered. “I haven’t even taken off your panties yet and you’re this wet for me,” he said. “Imagine how you’ll be when I get around to fucking you.”
Even more moisture dripped out of me at his words. Deciding he teased me long enough, Jungkook tore the panties from my body and buried his face in my folds. I gasped and moaned, he groaned in response, and the wet sounds his tongue made as it fucked my hole caused fluid to practically gush out of me. “Tastes so good,” he growled before delving back in. This time, his tongue swirled around my clit while his middle finger pushed in and out of me, curling up to hit just the right spot.
“Oh god!” I gasped, arching my back. “Jungkook, I’m gonna… I’m gonna…”
He merely groaned and finger-fucked me faster, his tongue flicking over my clit so fast it was almost painful. I came all over his face, my cum painting his cheeks as ripples of pleasure shuddered through my body. My moans became wails as my muscles continued contracting, Jungkook’s masterful tongue not stopping until I collapsed backwards, all my strength leaving me entirely.
Jungkook lay next to me, sucking on his fingers and running his tongue around his arousal-coated lips. “You came so hard,” he said, surprise tinging his voice.
“Well,” I chuckled, my breath still coming out more as wheezes. “It’s been a long time since I’ve had good sex.”
“What do you mean?”
I grew quiet for a moment before answering. “Obviously my ex was getting his jollies elsewhere, so we hadn’t had sex for months.”
Jungkook scoffed. “Wow. What a scumbag.”
“Indeed.”
Before the moment grew too awkward, I rolled over and kissed him softly. “Then again,” I murmured. “The sex was never nearly as good as what you just did.”
Jungkook chuckled and clambered on top of me again, kneeing apart my thighs to rest his body between them before kissing me deeply then pulling back. “You ready for round two?” he asked, one of his eyebrows cocked.
My eyes widened. “R-Round two?”
Jungkook smirked. “Oh, baby… I’m gonna fuck you so good you won’t even remember that asshole’s name.”

I've finally finished the first set! It's the same kids again tho, lol. But next time will be never before seen characters! So I wanted to get everyone drawn in the Omniverse style so I could visualize it all properly and it also made for a good opportunity to tweak designs as needed. They're all heavily referenced from official art so I could get it perfect and it made for great practice too! Of course I added some personal touches to the art style too cuz if I didn't it would have bothered me too much, lol.
Anyway, below the cut are finally proper profiles for all the kids and some additional info as well!
M'kay, so before we get started on the kids' bios, it's important to specify this is an alternate universe. And I don't mean it's an AU of the Prime Dimension. This is quite literally another universe within the omniverse. It's a mostly untouched one that even Paradox, Eon, and Maltruant have never been to and therefore a lot of things are different while a lot of things are still the same tho. It's unofficially called the Feniverse cuz Fen is the main character, but it does have a more official name. I'm just, uh… not aware of what that name is yet, lol!
Anyway, the Ben in this dimension branches off from the development of Prime Ben. Anybody remember the fact that the very first Ben 10K episode said Ben became the way he did in the future cuz he killed Vilgax by ripping him to pieces? Yep! That's what this Ben did too! But obviously he doesn't end up exactly like that Ben 10K. But so this dimension's Ben is therefore officially labelled Slayer Ben since some people refer to him as 'The Vilgax Slayer'. And that experience did definitely screw him up pretty bad, which is why he's so different from both Prime and 10K.
So from left to right:
Name: Fenrick Fih Rook-Tennyson
Age: 13
Height: 5'1
Voice: Todd Haberkorn
Bio: Fen is Ben and Rook's son. He has always been known for being quiet, surprisingly wise for his age, and quite the troublemaker. In actuality, only two of these things are true. Fen is more calm than he seems and as a young child he wasn't much of a talker, giving people the perception that he's quiet. Unfortunately, Fen also has many great ideas that end up badly. However, his ideas always come from the desire to help someone or solve a problem, but he always gets caught when his plans fall apart, making it look like he causes trouble. Some people even accuse him of trouble he didn't start, not helping his reputation. And as the son of Ben 10 of all people, he tends to be held to higher expectations. His wisdom never ceases to amaze people either. Even Ben and Rook get surprised at the wisdom he recites, wondering where exactly he learned it all. Due to that, he tends to put up a fight whenever himself or someone else gets wronged. He especially defends his friends and fellow alien kids in town. Although his only true friends seem to consist of his childhood friend, Millie, and his cousin, Sven.
At the age of 13, Fen discovered his ability to transform into a couple dozen of Ben's aliens. He quickly aspired to become a hero like his parents, much to Ben's disapproval, who worries about his safety. Despite that, Fen wants to form a hero trio with Sven and Millie and become the next generation of heroes in the galaxy.
Developer's Notes:
Fen's almost always been the same since I first created him, with just a few design and character tweaks done to him. He used to have a talent for jewelry making but that was switched out for him being wise for his age. He was also a bit more generic as far as the upbeat and reckless young male protagonist with famous parents archetype goes, but he's been adjusted enough that he now stands out from that archetype. Or, at least I hope, lol. Also, funny thing to note, Fenrick is not a real name! The closest name there is is Fenwick and iirc, that's a last name! I considered changing it to Fenwick or even Fenick but Fenrick is too special to me. His, uh, unfortunate name even has an impact in-universe with him being embarrassed by it and some using it to make fun of him. Also in-universe, I chalk it up to Ben having a dumb moment by misremembering the name Fenwick and Rook not knowing any better to catch Ben's mistake. Also, if you think his hair style is stupid, good. That's the point. He wanted it like that when he was seven and Ben and Rook were like 'sure' and it's been like that ever since.
Name: Millicent
Age: 13
Height: 5'0
Voice: Jennifer Paz
Bio: Millie is Ester's daughter. Her biological father is a human who decided he didn't want to be a father and Antonio soon stepped up to fill the father role when he and Ester got married. She has been friends with Fen and Sven since they were all babies. Millie is the level-headed one of the group and has been noted as being oddly emotionless. Her tone of voice is almost always flat and she usually keeps a straight face when not looking nervous. She never intends to be rude, but she will bluntly say whatever comes to her mind to her peers. At the same time, she can be nervous about making bold decisions and hates being a part of any decision making. She either refuses to do anything, or apologizes profusely for making a decision even when nothing bad happens.
Due to being more human than Kraaho, Millie is perfectly capable of handling the temperatures of Bellwood. However, she is still a bit sensitive to cold temperatures and needs to bundle up more than others during the winter. She sadly cannot handle the heat in the Hot Spot for very long either. Much to Millie's dismay, she was not born with the Kraaho's stretching ability. No one can figure out why, but it's simply something she can't do. As a result, she considers herself a normal human and has resigned herself to the fact that 'normal' is simply all she will ever be. Despite this, she has taken up quite a big secret that contradicts her decision and expresses who she wishes she really was.
Developer's Notes:
Millie only ever had one design change with her outfit and slight adjustment to the way her hair works and she's been the same ever since. Since the beginning she was always calm and stoic and I've always worried that she doesn't have much of a presence or purpose, but now I feel like she plays off Fen and Sven well enough that she stands out thanks to them. I've always flipped back and forth between Fen and/or Millie having a crush on each other, but I've finally settled on them both just seeing each other as near and dear loyal friends. It ultimately works out better that way and doesn't cause conflict with Millie's personal story or Fen's real love interest(and the one other character with feelings for him). Her name also used to be Mina, but since I've now taken that as one of my own names, it felt really awkward to keep her as that. I used to have a habit of naming characters with names I wanted before realizing I could change my name in the future, lol.
Name: Sven Elijah Levin
Age: 12
Height: 4'8
Voice: Wally Wingert
Bio: Sven is Gwendolyn and Kevin's son and Jenny's older brother. Sven is a rather unfortunate boy. He is constantly terrified of everything to the point of running millions of 'bad ends' through his head. He can barely talk most of the time without being a stuttering mess and always thinks he's going to be in trouble for anything and everything he does. Everyone is certain he either has severe anxiety or paranoia, or likely both. Perhaps even more. Who knows. Sven tends to cling to his cousin, Fen, who he looks to for guidance and advice, most of which isn't anything Sven should actually be following. Because he is a grade below Fen and Millie, he's often left alone to deal with problems in his own classes, or really just panic about them. He does, however, have a close relationship with Zed and likes to be the one to take her out on walks in the afternoon. And not many people know it, but he's actually a pretty decent artist.
Even though he is an Osmosian thanks to being Kevin's son, no one knows what ability he may have. It doesn't really matter though, since he wants to stay out of any potential trouble that having powers could bring him. Regardless of that, he has an interest in magic thanks to Gwendolyn's expertise in it. He even sneaks peeks at her spellbook and the strange bag she keeps in her office that he can hear a voice coming from at night.
Developer's Notes:
Now Sven is a character whose personality has always been pretty much the same while his design was never consistent until reaching his current one. He was originally very anime looking and in a gaudy orange outfit that I regret even thinking about, lol. He looks much better in neutral colors. I guess there's not much to say on him though, which makes me worry he's a tad unremarkable, but perhaps it's just since I'm leaving out the things about him that are better left discovering on your own… if I ever get to finishing that fic that is… ahaha.
Name: Saki Boulais
Age: 13
Height: 4'11
Voice: Stephanie Sheh
Bio: Julie and Hervé's daughter, one of the more popular girls in school, and the most deceptive in town. Saki has gone her whole life, since the first time she told a successful lie, tricking people into thinking she's a completely innocent little girl who's never done anything wrong. This allows her to get away with anything she wants, and she especially enjoys getting Fen in trouble when they butt heads with each other. The two have even been enemies since they first met at age three and Saki pulled Fen's tail, he pulled her hair in return, and she managed to get away with claiming he started it. Their feud has even turned into murderous intent, which Saki refuses to hide.
On a lighter note, Saki always has the company of her two best friends, Rachel and Diane, who will gladly join her in her tormenting of others. Saki even greatly admires the most popular girl in school, Fiona, and whoever the mysterious new hero girl, Miracle-M, is.
Developer's Notes:
Yes, Saki was always meant to be That Bitch in the cast. I feel like it's unrealistic to have all next gen kids be friends and get along with each other. It's perfectly believable to have some of them dislike, and in Saki and Fen's case, even hate each other. It makes it more interesting with them being Ben and Julie's kids respectively too. Adds good drama, lol. But anyway, really the only thing that's changed about Saki is her hairstyle and some other slight design tweaks like her necklace, shorts, and shoes. I also just recently changed her colors from purple and blue-ish purple to just blue so that isn't not all three girls here wearing purple. She also looks better in blue and it contrasts nicely with Julie's pink imo. I suppose I do worry about her being disliked since she's so antagonistic and with her being Julie's daughter, I really hope her character doesn't send the wrong message since I genuinely love Julie a lot. It really is just For The Drama Of It All. I think it's really fun to watch her go into full 'Murder Fen' mode too. Very fun to write, lol. Oh right, also Boulais is my headcanon last name for Herve. I just wanted her to have his last name but he doesn’t have one! So I had to pick one for myself.
Name: Jennifer Elizabeth Levin
Age: 10
Height: 4'6
Voice: Brina Palencia
Bio: Jenny is Gwendolyn and Kevin's daughter and Sven's younger sister. She is surprisingly serious and stoic for her age. She gets annoyed by her family's constant 'abnormal' status and wishes everyone could just act normal with no weird events happening. She throws herself into school work as a means to keep herself out of it and tries to keep her personal life at school with friends far away from her life involving family. She seems to have a quick temper, but really she just acts that way to get what she wants since she knows it works and in the hopes that she can use it as an opportunity to vent her frustrations. She hates getting involved in her brother and cousin Fen's antics, but sometimes her no nonsense attitude is needed to resolve a situation. She has a strange obsession with eating bread, finding it the perfect food and almost always exclusively eating something with bread involved. Gwendolyn definitely worries about her diet, but Kevin finds it harmless.
She may not have the spark like her mother, but she doesn't dare confess that her status as an Osmosian became very apparent just recently. As a result, she has a stash of broken objects stuffed under her bed and cracked floorboards that she covers with her rug.
Developer's Notes:
Jenny went through a decent redesign. Character wise I feel like I still don't have some things etched in stone for her as I still haven't gotten to the point in my writing where she does anything of interest. She could honestly probably end up pretty different from her bio here if I'm not careful, lol. The characters write themselves as they say after all! But I definitely prefer the newer Jenny compared to the previous way I envisioned her character, which was designed to fit a character type I actually hate just cuz I felt it worked for her. Thankfully I can avoid it tho with the big overhaul I did after returning to these characters. And I do like Jenny cuz I like writing her dialogue, but it still feels like her character is still that of a person I would not wanna be around, lol.
Name: Bevel Tennyson
Age: 20
Height: 5'9
Voice: Dee Bradley Baker/Yuri Lowenthal
Bio: Bevel is the youngest of the Big Chill offspring born twenty years ago. They were in an accident involving a passing spaceship on their way to Kylmyys that damaged their right wing to the point they could no longer fly. It's suspected the wing has severe nerve damage, making Bevel unable to unfold it as well. Their siblings helped them make it the rest of the way to Kylmyys, but over the years, the dangers of Kylmyys left the siblings with only Bevel and the eldest two, Emboss and Curve, remaining. As they got older, Bevel could never forget their only memory of their parent, who the others didn't remember. A desire to reunite with their parent caused Bevel to make the lone decision to explore the universe in search of their parent.
Bevel is a very cheerful and sweet person, but their secluded upbringing and lack of knowledge about Earth makes them very naive. They will believe anything they are told and have a very black and white moral view due to not understanding nuance. They have strange habits that appear unnatural in their attempt to act human and have an intense craving for Earth candy. They have also taken up being a mercenary to get by after leaving Kylmyys and once they join the Tennyson family, Rook suggests they use the skills they've picked up to become a Plumber, but that's an idea Ben isn't fully onboard with.
Developer's Notes:
Right off the bat I want to shout out that his old human design used to keep the Necrofriggian antennae. I still think it's a cute design even tho it wasn't canon compliant with the antennae. The only things that have changed about him too are just that, his hair style, and his shoes. Plus I stuck bunny ears on his hoodie recently as a shout out to those antennae he used to have. Otherwise he's always been the same. And I guess I haven't explained why he has a human form, but that's also an answer to discover later. I didn't draw his Necrofriggian form tho cuz we should all know what the UAF design looks like(and yes I am screwing with art style difference bullshit cuz OV Big Chill is not real and you cannot convince me otherwise). And I also just realized his pronouns aren't matching up in this section so I should add his official pronouns are he/they, but characters refer to him by he/him and narration uses they/them. He is still a Necrofriggian and therefore doesn't do the whole gender thing after all. Which is why he's fine with anyone viewing him as whatever they want to too. He just goes with it. That's also why he doesn't get what's weird about him calling Ben 'Mother' after he learned the word, lol.

Hi! How about writing about Supreme leader Кylo finds out that his wife is pregnant?
Heyo! I wanted to make this into a headcanon because I couldn’t really think of a good plot for a one shot. Honestly I am really bad with like “baby lingo” due to the fact I don’t really like babies, I tried my best with this tho! So anyways, hope you enjoy what is written below!!
Tumblr media
Of course Kylo would be scared to have children due to the fact he didn’t want them to end up like him. He was afraid that he would some how end up making their life terrible, he didn’t want his child to go through the same things he had went through at such a young age.
He had always wanted kids though, he just never thought he would find someone who would love him. Let alone someone willing to start a family with him.
The two of you hadn’t really been trying for a child, but you had expressed to Kylo that a child wouldn’t be such a terrible thing. At first of course he had his doubts of him being a father, you had told him that no matter what he would be the galaxy’s best father. You had kissed all those worries away.
Kylo only ever let his true colors shine for you, he never wanted anyone else to see him in his weakest state. He really loved how he could be himself around you with no judgement.
He had started to get a weird feeling coming from you, the faintest force coming from you. You both knew that you were strong with the force so why was he know feeling another aura come from you? He was skeptical, he wondered if he was just feeling the force within you grow stronger, or if you could possibly be pregnant.
He knew he had to ask you about it, so he had decided that once his duties were over for the day he would immediately make his way back to your shared quarters.
Little did he know you had something big to share with him, you weren’t sure how you were going to tell him that he was going to be a father. You really had hoped that it would all go as planned, not that you had planned some cheesy surprise. You just wanted to tell him as soon as he came home, wanting to avoid any awkward tension throughout the night if you waited.
Not really sure how he would react since he expressed his feelings about having children, you were somewhat stressed out. You did know that Kylo loved you and that no matter what choice you would make, he would support you no matter what. He had said that when the two of you were laying in bed one night.
When you heard the door slide open to your shared living spaces, you became nervous. Now you were starting to realize that all this was really happening. As you made your way towards the main room to greet Kylo you fiddled with your hands due to your nerves.
Upon entering the room you and Kylo locked eyes and at the same time said “I have something I want to tell you.” You had slightly giggled to try and relieve some of the tension. Kylo held his hand out to you, indicating that he wanted you to take his hand. You walked forward towards him and grabbed his gloved hand.
He then led you to the couch and the two of you sat down. You moved both hands to grab onto Kylo’s hand and slipped his gloves off. He was looking down at you, he nodded his head at you to let you know you could speak first. With a sigh escaping your lips, you grabbed his hands once more and held on a bit tighter.
“Kylo, I’m. I uh. I’m pregnant.” You said as you looked down, now completely nervous.
“Stars I was right then. I knew it! This is amazing! I can’t believe it.” He had said and he lifted your head up. A huge smile was painted on his face, it had been a while since you saw him smiling this big.
“This is exactly what I was going to ask you! Recently I had felt a new feeling of the force come from you. I had thought it was just you getting stronger, but it’s a baby! That means it has force abilities. I’m going to teach it how to train and fight with the force. I can’t wait.” He said almost tripping over his words.
“I’m glad you aren’t mad. If anything you’re more excited then I am. I’m nervous, but I know you will be an amazing father.” You said leaning on his chest as he pulled you to lay on top of him as he laid on the couch.
“And you will be an amazing mother.” He said as he stroked your hair.

Written Ship 🎀🎀🎀
Hi love! I really loved your selca ship and was wondering if I could have a written ship with nct127, superm & got7 as well. Thank you so so much in advance 🤍
My name is sam, i’m 22 years old & 5’6. My mbti is ENFJ-A. I can look a bit unapproachable to some but I am social and bubbly. I can be talkative especially when it is about a topic I am interested in. I love having debates or discussion without it leading to a potential conflict. I can be stubborn and competitive. I like to remain as humble as I can be and think of myself as an old soul with a young heart. My interests are singing, drawing, painting, cooking, baking, reading, learning new things or languages, meeting up with friends, finding new places to discover, traveling and going to museums. I also am into sports, especially basketball, boxing and swimming. I love being one with nature (forests, lakes, beaches). I have a soft spot for children and animals. I used to be a teachers assistent and now am a business and politics student. My quirks are making sound effects when I’m doing chores and singing (I am the singer, pianist, guitarist all in one). I have the tendency to be a bit cheesy or punny. My humor is quite dry and sarcastic as well.
Welcome back again sweetheart. 😇Your very interesting thanks for sharing more about yourself. Thanks for also being so patient, here’s your ship…
From Nct 127, I ship you with…Johnny
Positive Side: Your relationship together would be spontaneous. Your both naturally charming, a social butterfly and natural born leaders around any friend group. The both of you would become best friends very fast and it wouldn’t take long for you to become lovers. When everyone sees you together, boy they’re star struck. First of all, this man loves to flirt and sometimes he doesn’t even realize it, so expect a lot of compliment battles and pickup lines from this guy. As far as interests and hobbies, your both on the same page and there’s never a dry moment when traveling with him. He has a whole week planned with you trying go to all the best restaurants, the best museums and even go camping in the most romantic spot by the mountains. Best believe he would try to have you appear on a lot of his JCC episodes along with Mark. Overall, you two would build beautiful memories together and would take good care of each other.
Negative Side: Whenever your having a sick day or simply just having a stressful day at work, Johnny wants to cater to you by warming up a bubble bath or cuddling with you on the couch. It’s not that you don’t appreciate the things he does for you, it’s just you don’t want to blow that stress out on him and decline the offer. Only at those times sometimes your stubbornness would kick in, because you feel like you don’t want to become a burden to him. He wasn’t upset in the beginning, but after a while it does get to him.
But…: The both of you learned to be patient with each other until you both felt like you needed each other’s company. He would be so happy as soon as you walk in his room, but he wouldn’t show it until he was done teasing you. “Now look who decided to show up.”  “C’mere already, I can’t sleep without you Johnny…” “No can do Sam, your too late.” you literally follow this man around his room clinging your arm to him until he got tired. He lifts your chin up kissing your lips softly and says. “Just let me take care of you next time, I swear you won’t regret it.” 
Uggh Girlaa this was honestly hard, because I feel like you can ship with like 3 members, but I thought Johnny clicked with you the most…
Tumblr media
From Superm, I ship you with...Mark
Positive Side: Ahh young love, it’s a wonderful thing. Another pair that would instantly click for numerous amount of reasons. First of all, although you have different personalities, he would admire your ability to make a lot of friends, the way your not afraid to speak your mind on big topics and even being fairly interested, yet good at singing. He would ask you first on your opinion on his new songs for his album and would plan to become a couple music unit with you. Behind the scenes, you always appear next to Mark helping each other with your jobs that your passionate about. Kind of a business with pleasure sorda deal, but also very soft young couple outside of the work field. Mark is a hard working boy always on stage, so when he has free time, he wants to enjoy his relaxation time with you. Most days, you’ll be having sleep overs making song covers, eating ice cream and talking with Mark for hours about the most random things. When he feels like getting out the house, he’s in the mood for anything. You both also love traveling and trying new things so coming up with ideas for dates aren’t hard at all. One day you’ll be playing one on one basketball at midnight even tho he’s bad at it or playing go karts against Mark and the dreamies if they decide to crash the party. Lastly he would be so delicate, sweet and passionate for the most part when it comes to making love with you. On your first kiss, he was so awkward and shy that it didn’t take until the 3rd try, that the kiss was perfect and magical. 
Negative Side: Although your both very ambitious and passionate about your jobs, sometimes you both get distracted easily by each other and can affect your craft sometimes. You become eac others fatal distraction which can sometimes lead to Mark forgetting his lyrics sometimes or messing up his choreography because he’s been slipping daydreaming about seeing you at home and living his happy married life with you. In your case, you loving talking all day about Mark to your close friends or sometimes end up messing up your presentations at your job mumbling his name on accident in between the speech.
But...: You both know when to give each other space and time to get the job done no matter how hard it is which is much more rewarding once you both reunite again. Even one time it was Mark’s birthday after the Superm tour was over, you were all dolled up backstage for him screaming “Suprise!” Lemme tell you this boy was so flustered not only because your outfit, but the fact that you took the time to travel down in Bangkok just to see him. At that point, he was so ready to pull you close to him not giving a care in the world if the members were watching. “Umm, Mark we can finish later. Let’s eat some cake-“ squeezes your hand tighter pulling you back in his arms. “Baby, just give me five more minutes please.” Leans his head on your shoulder kissing your neck. He was clinging on to you like a baby koala for the rest of the night.
Technically Mark was one of the other nct 127 members I shipped you with lol...Your just shippable 😳
Tumblr media
From Got7, I ship you with...Jackson
Positive Side: Listen girl, not only y’all visuals together would be bomb asf, but also the interactions. Y’all would be so wild together being so handsy sliding each other’s hands down each other’s neck giving the chills. Y’all relationship would honestly start out spicy exchanging the most intense dirty jokes and cute text messages time to time, but Jackson knew you were special and wanted to take his precious time with you. What struck him to fall in love with you more is your love for children and animals being able to interact with form of life made him a sucker for you. At that point he was such a gentleman standing up for you in any argument against friends, taking you anywhere you pleased and making you laugh so hard when your together. It was hard taking him seriously at first because of his image and his outgoing personality, but once he proved himself to you every day how much he loved you and wanted to be your boyfriend you finally said “yes” which made him the happiest man alive. Just like Mark and Johnny, he’s every adventurous and also big in the athletic department which means hot and steamy one on one work out sessions. Your fence man and #1 boyfriend!
Negative Side: Sometimes you both argue over small things that can ruin the whole day. For example, one time you both wanted to go kayaking and had to pack certain amount of items such as sunscreen, snacks and extra sandals in case your shoes end up floating away. This man got so excited and distracted that he left the house without his house keys and of course you trusted him to bring them along with you so you left them at home. You don’t tend to let things bother you like this, but after awhile it starts to get on your nerves. “I mean really Jackson you had one job. I can’t believe you locked us out the house without the house keys!” You turn around trying to take a breather. “Babe you know how excited I normally get? I’m truly sorry.” He tries to move his face closer to kiss you, but you dodge it. “I can’t believe you, trying to smooth talk your way out of this.”
But...: With a creative mind and his love life in jeopardy, he finds a way to make up for the situation. He first wraps his blanket that was stuffed in this backpack around your shoulders and wrapping you in a warm bear hug. He caressed your hair instantly calming you down and making you feel at ease. “Our dorm is only a few minutes away. I call Jaebum to pick us up and we can spend the night in my room. But we can’t be to loud...If your up for it.” You turn around looking up at him. “I should still be pissed at you, but I can’t turn down an amazing offer like that. We’re also stopping for hot cocoa, I’m freezing.” He chuckles pinching your cheek and kissing the top of your head. “Whatever my queen wants, she gets it.”
Tumblr media
Out of everyone, I can picture you the most with...Jackson
@rr0zu Thanks so much for requesting again. It was so much fun writing this for you, and I hope you enjoyed it. 💕💕💕

Thotty Thursday: Part One
There ain’t no goddamn way I could start something like this and not come out swinging with the top dog. The heavy weight champ. My personal creme de la creme. The character who started it all and made me what I am today. That’s right, I blame all this thotty shit on this demon man right here.
Tumblr media
“Holy blast from the past, Batman!” You cry out in dismay. “What is this, some 80’s shit!?”
I’ll have you know Yu Yu Hakusho is all 90’s, baby. Just like me. 😤
So let me tell y’all a little bit about my number one husbando. He’s perfect, for starters. Like, I’d challenge you to name one thing Hiei ever did wrong, ever.
You know what, never mind. Let’s not get into that right now.
Okay, I admit my dude has a bit of a harried past and he’s not ever always the nicest but that gives him depth. Range. He CAN go deep and he WILL.
If you catch my drift 👀
So when this bite sized snack was first introduced in the narrative he was all bad. Like bad bad. At just a glance, there was nothing good or redeeming about him and it wasn’t until later that we find out he’s something of a sympathetic antihero.
His moral alliances didn’t matter to eleven year old me one bit tho, this shit had me straight up fantasizing about becoming a ruthless thief and running off to the demon world with the man who literally knocked me on my ass
And when I say literally I don’t mean figurative, haha ironic literally. I mean literally literally
PHEW please believe that I would betray all y’all for even a single night with Hiei, on god 😩
Did i mention he’s a demon yet?
Yeah, in addition to having the super amazing ability to control fire at will, he also has a very ... eye catching transformation. 👁👁
Tumblr media
Now, I’ve seen even some die hard fangirls reject this form but it really doesn’t bother me. I actually rather like that particular shade of green and I don’t think it detracts from his good looks - if anything it just adds another layer to the evil mysterious bad boy vibe he’s got going on.
You think I wouldn’t throw my pussy in a circle for him just because he’s covered in eyeballs??
Hah
Think again
However I will say having sex in this form would probably be an awkward affair all around. Not only because having that many eyes impassively staring me down might cause a serious case of stage fright, but also because ... those peepers on his chest bout to get poked out by my titties! 😳
I mean, if he’s into that I won’t put up much of a fight
But I personally can’t imagine having a nipple touch your cornea being a very pleasant experience
Anyway
Tumblr media
Can we talk about those gorgeous ruby red eyes on his perfect little face for one gotdamn second please???
I admit, I am weak for a man with red eyes and that’s 100% Hiei’s fault
The only ones that even come close to being as captivating and intense are Senkuu’s (Dr. Stone, for those of you not in the know) but even his don’t hit QUITE as hard as Hiei’s
Can you even begin to imagine how it would feel to have him staring you down in a completely casual setting let alone an intimate one?? 😳
Mark me down as scared AND horny
I especially like how one minute they’ll be sharp, pinpoint dots that just tell you in no uncertain terms he’s out for blood
Tumblr media
Which he usually is but that is neither here nor there
And then the next moment, his eyes are huge and taking up half his face
Tumblr media
It seems like his eyes are at their biggest and most vulnerable looking whenever his sister is involved (which, for the sake of spoilers on a 25+ year old series I will not go into too much) or when he’s particularly eager about something (usually fighting) OR when someone inexplicably manages to appeal to his emotions. And trust me when I say that is a lot easier said than done
Hiei is one of the toughest eggs to crack in my harem but I like the challenge 😤
He’s not all fire and brimstone (mostly but not entirely) and I know he can lay the pipe like a goddamn CHAMP
I know his dick big, I know it is
That’s why he’s so short. All of his nutritional intake went straight to his cock but I can tell just by looking that he’s slanging some grade A meat. Do not fight me on this. I will throw hands to defend his honor and that is not a joke
I’m a strong enough bitch to stand by him even when he’s getting roasted by the squad. I’ve done it before and I’ll do it again.
Ofc that’s not to say he’d just stand there and let them drag him, but the point here is that I’ve got his back and that’s what counts
“But he looks like Vegeta 2.0” you reasonably point out and to that I say “what about it?”
I mean. Can Vegeta do THIS?
Tumblr media
I’m just joking, I was a thirsty little slut over Vegeta too
Short king solidarity ✊😤
His height doesn’t even bother me fr fr tho because 1: I’m about 90% sure he’s still growing by demon standards and his sister is also quite short whereas their mother was a normal height 2: I’m also short so it’s not like I’d be towering over him anyway and 3: some men like taking a girl who’s bigger than them and bending her to their will
And when I say he’s an unchallenged top ... Lord have mercy 🥵
Every encounter with him in or out the bed would be a challenge. Every 👏 single 👏one 👏
But I believe that with enough patience it’s totally possible to chip away at his mile wide walls and I know for a fact he’d be a great (if not slightly yandereish) lover
Protective in a standoffish way, territorial, demanding, strong enough to carry you in one arm while he slashes demons in half with the other, intensely intimate, just the right amount of Demon Crazy to keep the relationship exciting 🤪
Note I said Demon Crazy and not regular ol’ crazy. There IS a difference
Just whatever you do, don’t let this big eyed baby face fool you
Tumblr media
Hiei is not the type to share his toys or let them question who’s in charge. He lacks social finesse in a general sense and his interpersonal skills are ... toeing the negative, to say the least
Plus he’s a demon so his idea of courtship is going to be drastically different from mine. If he decides he wants it then by god he’s gonna take it and I respect that
Tbh I’d anticipate some low key stalking from this dude - the kind that you don’t even notice until it’s much too late and I don’t mean he’d be lingering around every corner or conveniently there each time you turned around. No, that’s too basic for a man like this
Tbh you wouldn’t even know he was there unless he WANTED you to know
You see that third eye he’s sporting?
Tumblr media
It gives him telepathic abilities
That’s right. In addition to controlling fire and having a multi eyed form that should appeal to any self respecting monster fucker, he can ALSO read minds
Y’all
If this man had any idea what I was thinking about him ... 😰
He’d probably kill me for the insolence, let’s not lie
But this is MY romantic fantasy and I say fuck that
He’d be able to keep tabs on you at all hours of the day, any time, anywhere - you wouldn’t even be safe from his ever watchful eye(s) while sleeping and though it’s not an ability canon touched on I see absolutely no reason why he couldn’t telepathically slip into your dreams
A nighttime visit from Hiei? Preferably a horny one? 👀 sign me the fuck up
Tumblr media
Imagine peacefully sawing some logs and fucking around in dreamland when he suddenly appears before you acting like your very presence is a bother
Then why are you here?? I didn’t ask you to come into my dreams, thank you very much
He responds in kind and his pointed jabs just get you more and more riled up until he finally pounces
Absolutely demolishes the pussy
I’m talking put that kitty in the grave
Then when you wake up the first thing you notice is how slick you are between the thighs
“Must’ve been a crazy dream” you mutter like the dummy thicc bitch you are
But when you look down at your sore wrist, you can see faint, blooming splotches in the shape of fingertips and you realize it was all real
A demon fucked you in your sleep and you enjoyed the hell out of it
“I wonder if he accepts frequent flyer miles” 🤔 
Tumblr media
How he finna grab the pussy
Like, hello??? Am I the only one thinking about this stuff??
Yes?
Okay then, damn. Guess I’ll just crawl back into my 90’s, smells like teen spirit cave
It’s quite comfy, actually, thanks in no small part to Hiei keeping it nice and toasty for me
The dick helps too

@sleepless-in-starbucks: Me: Damn I wish I had an excuse to write creativisleepality :/ Me: Sees your post Me: Forget excuse I have an OBLIGATION to write qpr creativisleepality with insecure!Roman because like. I’m a predictable shit. Also just a heads up my wifi’s been crap all evening so like. If this arrives late. Blame my damn connection for being sunshine-phobic
(Warnings for aphobia, insecurity, all that fun stuff. happy ending tho because y'all know me)
dani: Y’ALL I’M GONNA NEED YOU TO PAUSE WHATEVER YOU’RE DOING AND READ THIS RIGHT NOW. lia is a blessing, an absolute delight and joy and i love her with my whole entire heart!!!! this made me very happy and relieved and yeah it’s just really really good 
Roman was finding the urge to slam his head into the wall a very difficult one to resist. It had been what felt like the longest day of his life, brimming with an overly critical director, some sneering possible cast members who had mocked his make-up, and particular idiot who Roman had thought was going to be the one spot of light in his day until… that happened.
Roman gave up and let his head hit the wall once, leaving it to lay there when the thought of Patton seeing him like this managed to stop him from continuing the process until the wall had a good hole in it. Remy would probably be upset, too, of course, but Patton would most likely cry, and Roman would sooner fall into an ocean of fire than hurt either of his loves.
“I mean… can you even call them loves?”
Roman curled one of his hands into a fist at the fragment of a memory. He could, damnit, screw Anton and his stupid face and his stupid words and his stupid, stupid reasoning…
“…Babe?”
Roman jerked out of his thoughts, realizing that Remy had come up to him, his Starbucks-barista-turned-partner frowning at him in worry.
“Yes, my darling?” Roman asked, pushing himself off the wall, trying to maintain his image.
“Are you alright?” Remy said, a perfectly reasonable question given Roman had been lying against the wall for five minutes, seemingly completely unaware of Remy’s presence next to him for a good minute of that time.
Roman plastered on a smile, hoping it looked even semi-convincing. “Of course! Why ever would you even have to ask?”
Remy reached forward, still frowning as he pushed Roman’s bangs behind his ear. Roman instinctively leaned into the touch, trying to not look pitiful while he did so.
“Honey,” Remy said, softly, and Roman really must be failing at this whole acting thing if Remy’s sounding that worried, “what’s wrong?”
“Nothing.” Roman assured. “I’m fine.”
Remy didn’t respond for a moment, continuing to frown at Roman until he wanted to squirm away. Finally, after what felt like an eternity to Roman, Remy moved forward, his free arm wrapping around Roman’s waist, the hand he had on Roman’s cheek slipping behind his head and tangling itself in Roman’s hair. Roman froze for a second, the surprise hug startling him, especially from Remy. He was generally pulled into hugs and cuddle piles by excessive grabby hands and whined complainants from Roman and Patton.
Recovering from the surprise, Roman couldn’t be bothered to resist the embrace, wrapping his arms around Remy’s waist as he slumped into Remy, burying his head in the crook of Remy’s neck. He took a deep breath. Remy smelled like coffee beans and warm leather and sage and comfort and home.
Remy scratched the back of Roman’s head comfortingly. “Tired?”
“Mmmhmm.”
“Long day?”
“Mmmmm.”
“Long day that did not go fine despite all your lies?”
Roman started to hum in agreement again before he realized his mistake, immediately trying to pull away from what he now recognized as a trap hug. Remy’s grip only tightened, however, still too comforting for Roman to truly want to fight it.
“You’re really out of it if you fell for that, sugar.” Remy cooed before yelling over his shoulder, “Patton! Roman had a sucky day and he tried to lie about it!”
Roman didn’t know if he closed his eyes for a moment and missed him, or if his marshmallow boyfriend had simply forgotten to mention that he had teleportation abilities, but one minute Patton wasn’t there and the next he was pressed against Roman’s back, hugging Roman tightly enough he was surprised Remy still had a hold on him, pressing a kiss to the back of his neck.
“Baby, we talked about this.” Patton scolded, though his tone was so light Roman was fairly certain he was saying it more because he felt he had to say it than anything.
“I know, I know.” Roman said. “But it’s really nothing, the halves of my heart. Just something stupid someone said-”
“If it’s upsetting you, it’s not nothing.” Patton interrupted him, softly speaking, moving one hand to Roman’s hip so that he could rub circles into the skin. “What did they say?”
Roman opened his mouth to respond, to pass it off as simply as he could, to prove to them it was just some pointless comment he should have disregarded immediately anyways, and heard a sob come out instead, which was doing WONDERS for his image of ‘still wonderfully put together.’ The hand in his hair stilled in surprise, and Patton made a sound of hurt. Their worry only made Roman feel worse, and he couldn’t stop himself before the next words were spilling out, “I’m sorry I don’t love you enough.”
More sounds of pain, this time not just from behind him, but Roman ignored them, pressing his head further into Remy’s shoulder as if that would block out the entire world. He felt more than truly knew they were moving, though he didn’t focus on where or how. At some point his legs got tucked up so that they were resting on something, the warmth around him shifted but never enough so that it was truly gone, somehow ending up so that almost nothing had changed aside from the fact that the amount of effort he had to put into existing was substantially lessened.
That made it a lot easier to cry, hating that he was staining Remy’s shirt but knowing he couldn’t stop even if he tried. The warmth of his boyfriends’ around him didn’t seem to mind, hands gently running across his skin, a mix of soft pet names and quiet shushing sounding around him. Eventually his tears stopped falling, his sobs turning into hiccups that turned into nothing, until all he was doing was holding onto Remy and trying to sink into him and escape the world.
“Sweetie? Sweetheart?” Roman hummed in response to the names that were clearly being directed at him, still refusing to remove his head from the dark, warm safety of his boyfriend’s shoulder.  There was a sigh that sounded caught between amused and concerned. “Please, love, we need to talk.”
Roman groaned and tilted his head, still resting on Remy as he looked over at Patton. They were all cuddled together on the couch, Roman securely held in Remy’s lap and against his chest while Patton remained wrapped around his back, better positioned to look at Roman, his sweet honey eyes laced with worry. Knowing he was the cause of it, Roman almost started crying again, not sure how he could vanquish it but knowing he would do anything to replace it with happiness.
“Hey, shh, it’s alright, you’re not in trouble.” Patton said immediately, cupping Roman’s cheek with one hand, brushing away the beginnings of new tears. “I just- We just want to know- Ro, starlight, why don’t you think you love us enough?”
Roman would have shoved his head back into the crook of Remy’s neck if Patton’s gentle but firm grasp wasn’t stopping him, forcing him to hold eye contact with his partner, half of his entire life, one of two people he’d willingly die for in a heartbeat as he said, as unashamedly as he could, “We’re just partners.” Patton’s brow furrowed even more, and Remy once more tightened his grip around Roman, and it took all his willpower to choke out, “We’re just partners, and not dating, and that’s it, that’s all we are, and you’re both just so wonderful you deserve more, and it’s not fair to you that you’re stuck with me and that, and-”
“Roman, please, please baby, stop!” Patton said, distressed, and Roman shut up. Patton was cupping both his cheeks now, running his thumbs over them repeatedly, as if he wasn’t just trying to comfort Roman but himself as well.
“I’m going to kill 'em. You said someone said this to you?” Remy asked, aggressively, nearly growling when Roman nodded. “Bullshit. It’s bullshit.”
“Language.” Patton said automatically, snapping Remy out of his mood.
Remy sighed, going back to running his fingers through Roman’s hair. “They’re wrong, sweetheart, completely wrong.” He reassured Roman, voice much softer now. “You love us more than enough, whatever they said was just stupid.”
“I- I know you say that, but-” Roman paused, searching for the words. “Kisses, and holding hands in public, and all of that… I can’t- I don’t offer you any of those things, and you deserve them so much, and that’s not fair to either of you.”
Remy chuckled, and the sound echoed through Roman’s chest. “Gurl, I feel like you’re forgetting I’m aro too. I don’t care about any of those things- I just care about you.”
“And we love you.” Patton added. “We love you because you’re an amazing cuddler and you love to sweep us off our feet and you have the most beautiful singing voice in the entire world and because we know you love us so, so much, and the fact that you don’t love us romantically isn’t even close to important.”
“And you love us too, right?” Remy asked.
Roman almost tripped over his words rushing to answer, unwilling to leave a single second empty without his promise, “Of course I do! I just-”
“Than that’s enough.” Remy cut him off, and it was so simple yet so adoring, coupled with the look Patton was giving Roman, like he’d hang the moon for him while Remy pinned up the stars, that every word that jerk had said melted away in an instant, like a million pounds right off his shoulders, leaving him so free and alive that Roman couldn’t help but lunge forwards a bit, twisting himself so that he could wrap his arms around Patton, pulling him backwards so they more or less landed on Remy, all pressed against each other and warm and real and solid beneath his fingers.
“I’m sorry.” He said, and continued on swiftly, before Patton or Remy even had a chance to speak, “I’m so sorry I listened to that bastard. He was an idiot, you’re so right. I’m so sorry. I love you, I love you so much, you mean more to me than any part in any play, than any gem or jewel, my dearhearts, my treasures, my loves.”
Patton giggled, and Roman couldn’t help the smile that suddenly blossomed on his face as Patton pressed a quick kiss to his forehead before just resting his own on Roman’s, whispering happily, “It’s alright, my prince, we know.”
“We know, but I still want to hear it more.” Remy protested, and Roman laughed as he turned his head back towards him, Remy’s dark eyes alive with amusement and glittering with love purer than freshly fallen snow.
“I love you.” Roman obliged him, hugging Patton closer to him even as he still watched Remy, “I love you more than summer sunsets and spring dew and winter frost and autumn colours. I love you more than sugar cookies and hot chocolate and crackling fires and-”
“-and more than the smell of coffee and crisp apples and fuzzy socks and soft pajamas and late night movie marathons and early morning grumbles and a thousand other musings.” Remy took over for him, smiling both smugly and softly as he brushed through Roman’s hair. “I love you all that and a million times more.”
“Cheater.” Roman accused heatlessly. “That’s my move.”
“It’s what you get for loving a dirty thief.”
“Pretty thief.” Patton corrected with his own smile, blindly reaching a hand back that Remy took immediately. “Pretty thief of our hearts.”
“Only after you got mine, cocoa bean.” Remy matched, lazily intertwining his fingers with Patton’s.
Roman reached a hand over as well, grasping around theirs. “You never stole my heart.” He said teasingly. “Considering you are my heart.”
“Your two perfect halves- yes, we are aware.” Remy said exasperatedly, but there was a fondness in his tone Roman knew he couldn’t shake. “You’ve got to come up with some better lines, doll.”
“Says Mr. Twenty-One-Nicknames.” Roman replied.
“You know you love them.”
“Do I know that?” Roman asked, laughing as Remy gasped in faux hurt. Patton laughed, too, shaking their held hands.
“You two are impossible.” He said, cheerily despite the chiding words. “I’m never going to get dinner made at this rate.”
“You’re welcome to go make it now.” Remy invited, though they all knew he wasn’t serious.
That didn’t stop Roman from tangling his legs up in Patton’s, whining, “Noooooooo, you have to stayyyyy.”
“But dinner… if I don’t go make it now I’ll never make it…” Patton trailed off, sounding more interested in staying.
“Then don’t go.” Roman offered, pushing his head up enough to nestle it against Patton’s shoulder, trying to sweeten the pot. “Stay and cuddle me.”
“And why should I prioritize that over dinner?”
“Because I’m still a little sad and I don’t want to let you go.” Roman said, blinking his eyes as sadly as he could for extra effect.
“Plus cuddling tops, like, all things.” Remy pointed out. “And I the remote’s in reach, and I think the Little Mermaid’s still in the player-”
“Cuddling on the couch it is!” Patton decided suddenly, finally releasing his boyfriends’ hands so that he could turn over and burrow into Roman’s chest, loosely hugging Roman as he settled in. Remy laughed as he snagged the remote, flicking on the tv and the corresponding underwater scene.
“And all it took was Disney.” Remy commented in amusement, dropping the remote as he shifted and wrapped his arms around both Roman and Patton. “We are going to get hungry eventually, though.”
“That’s a problem for later.” Patton said, and Roman was quick to agree with him, his arms still holding Patton against him even as he moved his hands to lay over Remy’s. Squished between his boyfriends now, tropical tunes starting up in the background, he couldn’t believe he had given Anton’s words a single moment of his time.
He didn’t need romance to love Patton and Remy- all he needed were eyes and half a brain. 
Roman sighed, feeling more content then he ever had before. “I love you guys.” He said, softly, sweetly, simply.
“Love you too.” They both chorused at once, their care as tangible as their arms around him, and that was all Roman needed to know they loved him just as much as he loved them.
And that would always be enough.
(No editing we die like men- aka sorry if this is bad but like. I tried. Hope it makes you feel even a little bit better :) <3)

N! Can you tell me about some things you love about Jooheon? (I know I probs could've just messaged you this but keeping the Jooheon Love private wouldn't have been very cash money y'know)
oh goodness… where to begin… i was thinking of making a numerical list but honestly… idk how long or short it’ll be so i’m sticking w bullet points lol…
• a recent thing i realized i really love about him is the fact that he trusts mbb enough to let us know about his struggles w his mental health as of late… super fucking brave of him and i respect him so much for sharing this information when he really didn’t owe us an explanation or post or anything bc it can such a private and touchy subject (x)
• (i know this is one of your fav things about him too so i must mention it!) i love that he doesn’t gaf about what ppl think and said hell yes to gay rights not once but TWICE on vlive he supports lgbt+ mbb and that right there is true love to know that someone you admire so much loves you entirely regardless of who you love it’s such a wonderful feeling thank you jooheon for accepting me wholeheartedly and so many other mbb in this world (x, x)
• i love his laugh! it can be wheezy it can be super fucking loud and extra sometimes its a simple “pfft” i love when he pauses and thinks about what was said and then laughs it’s so cute and sometimes he sounds like an old man also he sometimes covers his mouth w his hand when he laughs… extra cute… it’s such a beautiful sound if i’m being real… (x, x) 
• i love how loved his is by EVERYONE! he meets someone and right away you can just see the heart eyes forming bc… 1) he’s cute af 2) he’s cute af and 3) he’s cute as fuck (i can’t even link anything bc i would need an entirely diff post for this lmao)
• i love that he’s a cat person bc HELL YES CATS! he’s such a sweet and kind “cat dad” to yoshi and gucci loves them sooo sooooo soooooo much buys them a lot of toys and cute clothes and cares for them and has taken them to a FANSIGNING! that one mtv news interview where he called yoshi and gucci his daughters and he’s called them his babies before… it’s too cute i constantly go through my yoshi and gucci tag and have an amazing time (x)
• i honest to god love how dramatic he is and how he can get soooooo sulky and pouty over the simplest thing said or done or ignored and i gain like 3 years of life every time i see it happen i think it’s cute and if i was around that every single day i think i’d explode from love overdose more specifically i love that he talks in pout (x)
• i love his music i absolutely love every single record he’s put out i think his sound is so true to him and that’s kind of weird to say bc he does play around w sounds a lot but i think he has a v specific sound… idk how to make this make sense tbh but… stream dwtd mixtape? ongshimi? he has over 100 copyrighted songs so he’s one of the most copyrighted artists in sk which is… incredible… joohunnit onehunnit… i’m tying in his musical ability as well bc apart from being an incredible amazing wonderful composer and producer and lyricist he can also play multiple instruments!! he can play the drums, piano, and a bit of guitar and there’s prob so many other sides to him w music that we’ve yet to see and also he has such a beautiful singing voice! he once said if he wasn’t a rapper or a part of monsta x he’d be a singer and i believe that 100% and i think it’s great that he’s gotten to the opportunity to showcase himself and his voice more w their recent english tracks truly love that for him
• i love his be happy stay happy motto i consider him a huge inspiration in my life to continue moving forward fighting for what i want and believing in myself and in my moments of reflecting on my happiness i think about this message bc he cares about not just his happiness but of others as well for ex. the vlive he did w shownu after their we are here in ny show where they talk about how jooheon constantly asks him if he’s happy bc he genuinely cares about him and wants him to genuinely be happy he also cares about the happiness of mbb and says these things bc they’re good things that he wants us to hear he’s an immensely busy person and this takes a toll and i mean he’s a human fucking being it hurts to know he’s going through a rough time rn but it’s also great to know he’s taking time to find that happiness again and find himself as well and i hope his message is helping him out rn i also heard it live during the we are here in atlanta show i went to and p much bawled my eyes out bc he performs and makes music and loves music bc it makes him happy but also bc it makes mbb happy and that’s one of the many ways in which he shows and gives out love (33:44-38:24) (x)
• i love how he wears his heart on his sleeve 100% of the time you know exactly how he’s feeling what he’s thinking bc he doesn’t hide it! i don’t even have a specific moment tbh he’s just 100% himself 100% real and that right there is admirable af
• this list can really go on and on and on and on and on and… there are so many reasons to love lee jooheon but i think i’m gonna end it w my favorite thing about him which is a quality… actually… multiple words to describe him ig but ok! i love how hardworking and dedicated and perseverant he is he’s one of the type of ppl that when he sets his mind to something he will stop at nothing (not in a bad way) to get there he constantly works to improve himself even tho he’s already at such a god tier level it amazes me every. single. time. he does something even more incredible to showcase himself ex. 2019 mama intro (need i say more?) and 2019 sbs gayo daejeon where he was rapping AND drumming at the same time whilst being sick physically and mentally (during mama too) and STILL putting on one hell of a fucking performance also him changing his name more than once bc he believed it would bring him more luck to debuting which honestly? i think is valid and not to mention how HARD he worked to be chosen to become a part of monsta x the years of training and fighting and believing to do that! and guess what? he did it! he did that! his goals and dreams became his reality!

What other characters (of DBH) you think people should appreciate more and why? I love read your opinions❤
omg anon pls thats so sweet
(if anybody wasn’t here for the last ask the first character was north & there’s a follow-up here)
alright just a “””quick””” (lol as if) little thing for each one bc it’s getting late & you’ve already been waiting on this for like an hour at the time i started typing. it’s probably gonna be long as fuck but the tl;dr is at the bottom
LUTHER:
they did luther so dirty…it was like david cage was playing “racist trope bingo” for his entire debut chapter…and then on top of that all he cares about is kara & alice, these two near-strangers, and it’s real easy to get him killed for them. in fact, in an ending where kara sacrifices herself at the border, she tells alice that luther will get her across the border, and after that, rose will take care of her. UM WHAT? don’t call ur PSN trophy “happy family” and then try to erase luther like that!! what does luther want? what are his hopes and dreams, his fears? nobody ever bothers to ask bc they’re too busy making ralph alice’s dad. and it’s not that i don’t like ralph - i do! but he threatened alice with a knife TWICE. after her previous dad’s bullshit, that’s the last thing she needs!!
here’s my take on luther: he says that what his life was before kara & alice doesn’t matter, and that’s because david cage doesn’t care about him. but imagine instead that luther remembers what he did (was forced to do) before he broke his programming. our luther is sweet and gentle and good, but zlatko forced him to use his strength as a weapon for LITERALLY tearing people apart. don’t you think luther regrets that? don’t you think he wishes he could take it back? perhaps his even temper and loving heart is a RESULT of those early memories: he’s seen the worst sides of anger and callousness, he’s had to be complicit in it. my feeling is that he never ever wants to be complicit in something like that again…it feels weird when he picks up a gun in the game because i think he would be even more of a staunch pacifist than josh?? i feel like even when luther does get annoyed or angry he’s so afraid of the harm he’s capable of doing he doesn’t even really let himself feel it And That’s Sad. he should be able to get annoyed at like a broken coffee maker or some shit without illogically worrying it will result in someone’s maiming or death?? maybe he is So Ready to throw himself on a grenade for kara and alice because yes, he does love them, but also he feels he has to redeem himself somehow, yk? he has to be willing to do absolutely WHATEVER it takes to be Good
they didn’t give luther any depth…he never got to speak to zlatko’s captives and apologize, he never got to express a feeling about kara potentially burning down the whole fucking nightmare house (with living androids inside, i might add) - would he have wished to save those androids? would he be glad their suffering was over? would he have motherfucking hearts in his eyes for kara single-handedly destroying his own personal hell? he deviated for alice, it was alice that made him say “ok, doing this to kids is where i literally can’t take it anymore” - don’t you think he’d be so retroactively terrified of all the terrible things that could have happened to her? 
like i truly don’t get why people make ralph alice’s dad when luther loves her so fucking much he’d bring her the moon if she asked - he’s the only person who loves her just as selflessly and unconditionally as kara does. she accepted him and wanted him to say goodnight their very first night together…as soon as he resisted his programming, she stopped being afraid of him, and it must be so amazing for him to finally have people around who don’t either fear him or try to control him…whether u ship him with kara or not (i do, everyone should - it’s one thing to HC kara as gay but i side-eye people who don’t wanna ship luther with anybody) you know he’s gotta cherish them so much
AMANDA:
ok look i know amanda is the antag to connor’s story but honestly she’s metal as FUCK. i was so fucking floored to not only learn the garden isn’t a garden but that amanda isn’t amanda…my first playthrough i was letting connor be just a lil bit deviant but whenever amanda would ask about it i would panic and lie…now i know it doesnt matter what you can say and you can be blatantly deviant right in front of her and she’s like ok Whatever BUT i was deeply shook to realize all my lying to her all along hadn’t meant a thing…she did in fact KNOW i was lying because she wasn’t real, she was living in connor’s brain and she could see all that shit he was doing
and also?? like, imagine you were made out of a dead person’s face and voice. we don’t know if amanda has a body, we don’t know if kamski actually liked what he created or thought it was creepy (like imagine if he and amanda were close and then she died…it’d be weird to see her like that), we don’t know if amanda CAN deviate like the androids…she’s living this half life potentially stuck in some garden and just doing what her program says like everybody else. but even though machines get all the sympathy in this game i very rarely ever see people stop and go “dude, is she ok…is someone controlling her can we help her” - amanda’s a lot like connor, she’s hunting down deviants but she’s not a human and she’s not alive yet so who’s pulling her strings?? can they be cut??? 
JOSH:
i’ll be honest i haven’t figured out what Angle i like best for josh the way i’ve got one for luther and north but he has such strong convictions i feel like they would have to stem from some past experience. everybody’s always arguing about simon vs north that nobody stops to give josh the attention he deserves…he’s part of the fantastic 4 too!! who is josh? what does he want? what is he afraid of? does he refuse to be violent for reasons like luther - did he hurt someone, deliberately or accidentally? (to a lesser extent, a pacifist markus who shoved leo can also follow this pattern - he gave into violence and thought he’d killed carl’s son, so he swore to do no more violence after that.) or: did he see someone else get hurt/get hurt himself? i know the backstory they give him in the gallery but tbh it’s very similar and not stand-out from most of the rest of the stuff we hear…
like, what made josh deviate? we literally never find out. i think it would be interesting tho if instead of just being the victim of violence, he was ordered to DO violence, and refused - maybe that’s why he got hurt. but i think his relationship WITH violence could be a complex thing for anyone who wanted to tackle it. we know why north prefers violence, why does josh detest it? (similarly, why does simon prefer safety over either approach? - but fandom gives him a lot of love and attention and tries to explain this, and nobody tries to explain it for josh.)
KARA & ALICE:
like…to a small extent…i know they’re main characters but i could write an essay just on why they didn’t get a fair shake either - constant victims of assault, little depth, kara got to choose what happened to her but not what kind of person she was gonna be like markus & connor, significantly less playtime than markus & connor, had NO influence on the big macro plot like markus & connor, i could go on…but definitely the worst for me is that everything about kara that made us love her (from the short), was ERASED - david took her memories and never made the slightest move towards kara wanting them back, or her being able to get them back. she’s six years old and he took all of her history from her, all of her agency!! i feel like translated into fic they can both become very flat - all kara cares about is protecting alice, and alice is constantly scared or hurt or needing to be taken care of, like a baby doll. granted that’s not actually far from the game’s canon, but it could have been MORE. kara had six entire years of experiences before she met alice - what makes alice special? who is kara without alice? 
i really wish we had been able to take a personality route with kara - her main superpower seems to be empathy and getting people on her side (ralph, jerrys, zlatko’s creatures), but she can also wave around a gun at anybody who gets near her baby. it would have been really interesting to explore two sides of that - to have a kara who is 1000% Done and ready for wholesale murder if it means surviving vs having a kara who can bring out the best in anyone, even if they seem like bad people at first. (imagine the influence you could have over alice - she would learn to be wary of strangers or be warm to them.) but instead the narrative is wishy-washy; you can’t teach alice anything, and in fact she serves as kara’s moral compass instead of the other way around - you wind up doing things like comforting the guy who broke kara multiple times and waving a gun at ralph (who like, shouldn’t have done that, but also isn’t 100% in control of his own facualities all the time). it would have been really interesting to see kara be able to influence her own fate more as well - the camp sections are shitty and should not exist but like maybe a kara who had spent the whole game yelling at everyone with a gun would have the ability unlocked to then rally the people inside, and who cared what connor and markus were doing, you know? 
but david doesn’t know how to write women so that’s not what we got - kara carried that entire franchise into reality and he totally screwed her over!!
TL;DR
luther was forced to do terrible things and that could explain a lot of his behavior if anybody cared, nobody ever wonders if amanda is being forced to obey programming like the rest of the machines or if she’s ok, josh’s relationship with violence could be very complex and we don’t know his motivation for refusing to participate in it the way we know north’s for preferring it, and david can’t write women so he shafted kara so fucking bad and it is an honest to god shame

Revue Starlight 8: Flower, gleam and glow. Let your power shine!
Tumblr media
Make the clock reverse, bring back what once was mine.
For the previous episode go here!
To go to the start of these posts, go to the Prelude!
Wow holyyyyyy shit, that was an amazing duel! A great episode, we learned lots of new things oh yes we did. Hikari was fucking amazing this episode! I’m glad we got to learn more about her! Ok, head on down and let’s go through this!
The title and caption this time is from the Disney movie Tangled, the song is called Heal Incantation. It’s the one Rapunzel sings to activate her hair’s magic. I thought the lyrics fit Hikari’s situation and had light and flowers involved! Hikari also lost her starlight and wants to get it back. So ta dah! \o3o/
>How Hikari got her groove back.
The episode opens with baby Karen and Hikari watching the Starlight play, this episode is from Hikari’s point of view btw. Hikari talks about how the play inspired her and Karen to one day go on stage together. We then go to the opening.
After the opening we see teen Hikari waking up in the morning, she’s at her london school. Hikari’s room is extremely messy. Then we see Hikari’s morning routine; waking up, taking a shower, weighing herself, brushing teeth, getting dressed and eating breakfast. While she’s doing that, we hear via voice over a letter Karen wrote to Hikari. Thank to this letter we now know it’s March of 2018, we know it’s March due to Karen talking about doing the first Starlight play and how much of a success it was. Hikari finishes getting ready for the day, almost leaving without her hair pin. She smiles at the photo of herself and Karen and then goes on her way.
While going to school Hikari voice overs a letter back to Karen saying she will become a star. As she goes through her classes, Hikari then describes her school much like how Karen described hers in episode one. We see a dress rehearsal for the play they are doing, the lead girl appears to be this blond girl who we learn is named Judy Knightly via the play’s poster. Hikari finishes her mental letter to Karen and keeps practicing in the dance practice room. We then jump to a flashback again.
Tumblr media
Damn bitch you live like this?
Baby Hikari and Karen are playing at the playground we saw in episode four by the Tokyo Tower, baby Karen is crying because she was told that Hikari is moving to London. Baby Hikari scolds baby Karen for crying and baby Karen is like “but I can’t do Starlight by myself!!”, baby Hikari thinks for a moment and then declares she’s decided to not come back until she’s become a star. That doesn’t make baby Karen feel any better, she cries more and climbs up the stairs to the slide while asking why. Baby Hikari says if she stayed here then she’ll just keep spoiling her. Baby Karen tearfully asks if they can talk via phone, Hikari says no. Baby Karen asks if she could send letters to her, Hikari didn’t have to write back if she didn’t want to. Baby Hikari agrees to that, baby Karen cries tears of joy. Baby Hikari smiles and helps baby Karen up to the top of the slide. They hold hands like they did in episode four and they promise to meet again on the stage, baby Hikari declares that it’s destiny for them to meet again. The two go inside the tower and buy each others hair pins, Hikari picked the crown for Karen and Karen picked the sparkles for Hikari. Teen Hikari says via voiceover she has a passion for the stage thanks to Karen and she knows they will meet again in the spotlight and become stars together. Back with teen Hikari, we see the poster for the play her school is doing and then cut to Hikari practicing. Then, her phone goes off with a very familiar ringtone. Mr.Giraffe is here and calling, turns out Karen’s school wasn’t the first he has visited. Oh shit.
Tumblr media
Gdi the pink light is here too! LEAVE THE BABIES ALONE EVIL STAGE!
Hikari is now at the underground stage, the color scheme at this one is blues and greens and the stage has London’s bridge over it instead of the Tokyo Tower. Hikari is wondering where the fuck she is when Giraffe speaks up, in english. Hikari is shocked a fucking talking giraffe is here and reacts the same way Karen did to Giraffe in episode one. Giraffe switches back to Japanese upon hearing Hikari speak it. Giraffe describes what a Revue is and what the auditions are, he tells her about the fated stage as a reward if she wins and asks if she’ll join the auditions. Hikari accepts, we see her on stage with a longer knife and a red cape. She blasts through the audition duels, climbing up the ranks. But then, she loses her last duel to Judy. Judy wins Top Star and Hikari is only in second place. Giraffe annonces the auditions are over and the screen goes dark.
Tumblr media
Hikari lost cause she didn’t have a cool hat like Judy has.
The next morning, Hikari starts her morning routine again. But, something is odd. When weighing herself, we see Hikari has lost ⅓ of a pound (about 130 grams. My math might be wrong tho lol). Hikari is confused. We then go to class, Judy is at the top of her game and the other girls comment on it. Hikari is deep in thought wondering what the fuck were the auditions anyways. She looks at her hand, she’s feeling a bit off today. Later, the night of the school’s play performance, Hikari wonders what the fuck the auditions did to her. Ever since the audition duels, she’s felt nothing on stage or while doing theater. No nervousness, no passion, no fear, no excitement or joy, nothing. As the play hits its climax, we see a huge prop hand hovering over her as Hikari comes to a terrible realization.
All of her passion, her starlight, for the theater is gone.
This realization hits Hikari hard. She sits there stunned, unable to continue playing her role, stopping the entire play.
Tumblr media
AAAAHHHHAAAAAHHHHHH! \OAO/
We go to later in the evening, Hikari wanders in a daze listing things that weight the same as the amount of starlight taken from her. She ends up at a natural history museum, she keeps wondering what exactly the auditions did to her to cause this to happen. Hikari sits on a bench and finds she can’t recall why she even had the passion for the theater in the first place. But, then she remembers the promise she made to Karen. Hikari cries as she notices that her ability to remember her promise is slipping. She wonders again what the fuck is happening to her when, Giraffe comes to mind. She now fully realizes what losing the auditions did to her. It’s reveal that the bench Hikari is sitting on is right in front of a giraffe skeleton. Hikari quickly calls Giraffe but he doesn’t pick up, Hikari declares she’ll never forgive him. Then Giraffe sends her a text. To the underground stage!
Tumblr media
Jesus christ I’ll never look at giraffe skeletons the same way ever again.
Hikari confronts Giraffe on the bridge, she says his speech he makes about the auditions but she adds what Giraffe leaves out. That when you lose, you lose your starlight and that destroys your passion. Hikari says he tricked her. Unfazed Giraffe says that to fuel the wish of the Top Star, they need the starlight of those who lose. Basically one girl wins and the rest get screwed over to grant the Top Star’s wish.
Fucking christ.
Giraffe says he is surprised that Hikari managed to hold onto any of her starlight, so he offers her another chance at the auditions. The next one will be in Japan, Hikari can do it again if she wants to. Hikari is surprised he is giving her another chance and asks him why. Giraffe basically says he is curious to see what would happen if a Stage Girl who has lost everything manages to win and he thinks that will create amazing revues and really would like to see them. Hikari accepts joining the next auditions. Giraffe is like “ok.” and starts descending downwards via the bridge. Hikari asks where in Japan will the auditions be and he simply wonders aloud that Hikari joined “even if one day you have to face her in battle.” Hikari shouts after him, Giraffe doesn’t answer and a green curtain falls on her.
Tumblr media
Giraffe standing like that looks like the Tokyo Tower....FUCK!
We then go to the present, it’s time for Nana and Hikari to face off! The title of their fight is the Revue of Solitude (or isolation). Hikari announces her presence as she raises up to the stage. Nana, doesn’t do this at all. The set rises up, the audition duel begins. They start to fight.
Nana comments that Hikari’s weapon is pitiful, she says “you’ve been through a lot of pain, but it’s gonna be ok. I got you now. : )”  and then she knocks Hikari to the ground. Nana points her katana at Hikari’s face and says, “It’s alright, you’re one of us now! : )” meaning that Nana plans to incorporate Hikari into her time loops when she wins Top Star again. Hikari blocks Nana’s sword strike and the scenery changes. Now everything is on fucking fire. Nana continues to fail at being reassuring saying “I’ll protect you from all the pain that comes with being a stage girl, I’ll do it for everyone!”
We quickly cut to see Claudine and Karen are dueling each other at the same time as Nana and Hikari’s duel is happening. Claudine asks how Karen became driven enough to join the auditions, Karen says it’s for her promise with Hikari.
Meanwhile, everything is on fucking fire. Hikari has her back to the wall, Nana slowly approaches her. We see a fucking giant clawed hand has risen out of the the stage, it looms over Hikari, seemingly poised to grab her. Nana asks why Hikari was taking part in the auditions, Hikari gives the same answer Karen gave earlier. It’s for her destiny to be on the stage with her beloved. Hikari shakily points her blade at Nana and describes the day she and Karen made that promise as the day she was reborn as a Stage Girl and it’s their promise that let her have this second chance. She steadys her hand and declares that she’ll never lose again!
Tumblr media
JESUS CHRIST HOW HORRIFYING.
Hikari keeps fighting with Nana as she says internally that since Karen joined the auditions she has to beat everyone to protect Karen’s radiance/starlight. Hikari struggles with Nana but she eventually pushes Nana back. And then, she changes the stage. The lights become blue and Hikari holds up her knife, catching the light. The knife glows and shimmers brightly, Hikari’s weapon then transforms and blooms like a flower. Suddenly the entire Tokyo Tower drops down from the sky and crashes straight into the water creating a big ass tidal wave! Giraffe is like, “Wow cool.” and the second half of this fight begins.
Tumblr media
Never thought I’d see the Tokyo Tower weaponized but here we are!
Hikari and Nana clash as a wave surrounds them in a water vortex. They fight, Hikari has gained the upper hand. Pink sparkles flash before Hikari cuts through the entire wave, causing it to disperse. Hikari knocks Nana across the stage, Nana has to slow herself down using her katana and her smaller katana gets lost in the process. After Nana stops herself, Hikari throws her weapon into a wall and uses it as a grappling hook to swing herself around the stage. She circles around, pulling her knife out of the wall in midair and charges down at Nana. Nana prepares to strike back. They clash and a cloud of mist shoots out of the ground, when it clears Nana’s cape falls. Hikari won! At the same time, Claudine’s cape falls much to her shock. Karen has won! Hikari throws her knife onto position zero and announces her name. The curtain falls on Nana and a spotlight goes out, the duel is over.
Tumblr media
This part was very Utena and also FUCKING COOL!
Two spotlights turn back on Nana and Hikari, Nana tells Hikari that the Starlight play is a tragedy and therefore Karen will be seperated from her at the end of it all. Nana asks if Hikari will be able to accept that and will she accept she has to fight Karen one day. Hikari begins saying that even so, and then she’s cut off by the credits. WELP.
We get a post credits scene, Giraffe sits by the rankings board while it shuffles for its newest results. Maya and Claudine are still at first and second respectively, Hikari is in third and Nana and Karen are tied for fourth. Giraffe is like “wow, those two have risen quickly”, we get a close up of Hikari and Karen’s hair clips as Giraffe muses about them being the fated two. He understands. Giraffe says “I see” at the end card and the episode ends.
Tumblr media
Hope the stage is insured for flood damages.
>What the water gave me.
(Why yes I like Florence and the Machine! 8D)
-Well, we certainly learned a lot from this episode! And the audition was fucking amazing holy shitttt! God, this show is so fucking top notch I’m gonna explode.
-Hikari’s song was lovely and wow Hikari’s weapon went from being the crappest to being really cool! It’s a fucking grappling hook!!
-Also heres more water again! Dat rebirthing metaphor is everywhere man.
-During Hikari’s duels in london only eight slots were shown and not nine like at the current auditions. I’m thinking it changes depending on where the stage is. HM SPEAKING OF WHICH.
-This episode showed us that the stage doesn’t stay in one place, it travels. It goes from place to place, school to school, taking starlight from unsuspecting theater kids it lures into taking part in its auditions. It’s likely alive, feeding off of one school then it moves on to the next. It’s probably been doing this for a very long time. I really do think the stage is a living thing at this point, I’ll elaborate on this in the speculation section but I think we can say for sure it can move around in whatever dimension it occupies.
-Related to the stage being alive, LIKE YO THOSE HANDS. First we had this cardboard looking scary hand, like every other hanging prop in the series we can clearly see strings holding it up. Then there’s the second scary hand, it’s a massive stone looking thing coming out of the stage. It’s unlike any set or prop we’ve seen in the show so far, also it just kinda. Appeared, it wasn’t shown how this fucking hand got there! No gears moving, and no strings holding it up. That’s also very unusual, hence. I’m thinking the second hand is literally a hand from the stage itself. I’ll talk about it more in speculation but jesus it was creepy. 
Also! The hands are a pun, it’s a stagehand! Stagehands are people who do behind the scenes stuff on the stage, hence a hand coming out of a stage is a stagehand. HA!
-Surprise surprise, Giraffe doesn’t fully reveal the cost of winning Top Star/losing the auditions to the Stage Girls! So it looks like just like Madoka Magica and Utena, everyone who enters the auditions makes this Faustian deal without even noticing. Jesus. I knew we couldn’t trust that giraffe! I fucking knew it! Now the real question is what the fuck he is even. If he is indeed a Kirin then the hell happened to this one to turn it bad? Is he a giraffe at all? Or, is he just a talking giraffe that loves theater so when the stage is like “hey wanna judge revues for us?” he went “well fuck me sideways yes I do”. Come on Giraffe! You can’t hide who you are forever!
-The truth about Top Star is all the other girl’s starlight is stolen and it’s given to the girl who wins Top Star. The power is then used to grant her wish. Hikari losing starlight, it took a literal chunk from her. The girl who wins Top Star basically throws everyone else under the bus just so they can be successful, success off the backs of the suffering of others. Christ man. This is gonna be a rough reveal cause I do think the others will find out. God.
-Losing your starlight legit takes away all passion and feeling from doing theater. So you feel nothing but apathy for something you know you love but you just can’t feel anything about it anymore and you question why the fuck you even became passionate in the first place. Basically it gives you severe depression, it has similar symptoms. I have depression myself, so I can tell ya for sure that losing starlight very much resembles having severe depression. Symptoms of both depression and the effect of losing starlight are; feeling nothing or only apathy, no longer finding happiness or pleasure in what you normally enjoy, feeling worthless, feeling helpless, feeling hopeless, self hatred, crying spells, having faulty or poor memory, feeling fatigue, weight loss, having anxiety/anxiety attacks, and feeling empty.
Because losing starlight is so much like having severe depression, well that brings up a massively horrible possibility of what happens to the losing Stage Girls after its over. Depression very often leads to suicide, this easily could’ve happened to past victims. How many Stage Girls have killed themselves? How many have suffered this terrible fate? Losing your passion like this sounds horrific, a fate worse than death. Living is hard, especially when you have something like depression. Living is better than dying ofc but suffering is still suffering like, god. Learning this truth makes me very nervous for our Stage Girls, I don’t want to see any of them suffer this fate. I can see why Hikari was so freaked out/scared in previous episodes, that’s scary shit.
Knowing all this about losing starlight it begs the question, what happens to girls who’s entire lives have been the stage when their starlight is taken? Like Maya, Kaoruko, and to some extent Kuro. Do you forget everything? Do you become an aimless empty shell? Are you like dead? Hikari was gradually sinking into a dark place until she remembered Karen’s promise. Like jesus christ, Maya, Kuro, and Kaoruko are fucked if they lose!
-Welp, we know why Hikari has been getting her ass kicked so much during the auditions. She was still lacking her starlight, seems like in this episode she got it back or at least some of it. Enough to beat Nana like wow, get it Hikari!
-Hikari losing her starlight also explains why Maya reacted the way she did in episode one. The reactions I’m talking about are here and here in case ya forgot. Eyes show emotion (windows to the soul and all), especially if someone is passionate about something. So when Maya was able to see Hikari’s up close she was surprised and confused because she saw nothing. No passion, no fear, nothing. She was probably thinking about it the rest of the day because how can someone with this much talent feel nothing? Why even be here then? And then later when Kuro asked Maya if Hikari was rival material and Maya made the heart comment, what she was saying was because Hikari didn’t have passion or feel anything while performing she isn’t gonna even come close to competing with them.
-So this duel was the Revue of Solitude/Isolation. Hikari vs Nana, a girl who has lost everything vs a girl who fears losing everything. It’s quite a match up for sure, the two of them do both feel isolated and alone. Hikari being burdened by knowing the horrible truth and Nana feeling like she has to time travel to keep being loved. Excellent contrast, I like.
-Hikari’s opening flashback take place after the Starlight play has been performed in March. So that means the audition duels at Hikari’s school take place in March. If the time loop is wide spread, that means Hikari has been doing and losing these auditions for quite sometime or this is her first one.
-They picked out each others hair clips! That is so cute aaa!
-Nana sounds very different this episode, like her voice sounded lower and quite serious. She hasn’t lost being intimidating since episode seven and that’s good to see! I don’t think she knows the truth about the Top Star wish, Nana turns back time everytime she wins so she’s never seen what happens to those who lose and turning back time means everyone has their starlight again. However this also means that Nana, still keeping what she gains from previous time loops, has all eight of the other Stage Girl’s starlight. So it’s not surprising that Nana is overpowered due to having 60 years of starlight to draw off of, she was already talented before then so the time looping just made her more so. That makes Hikari’s win against her even more impressive.
-It looks to me Hikari’s gem symbol represents the morning star, which is the planet Venus. I say this because in artwork the morning star is portrayed like that, usually in paintings regarding the greek god Phosphorus the god of the morning star. Stars in general can look like that too in art. And yes I know Lucifer is the other name for the morning star, he has had that label wayyy before christianity took over. The morning star here resembles the greek/roman version of him not the christian one.
The knife also resembles an open flower, in the daisy family if I had to guess what kind of flower. Hikari’s knife blooming the way it did ties into its name, Caliculus Bright (yes the weapons have names). Caliculus is a way to spell calyx, a calyx is a cup shaped leaf that protects a growing flower. Hence her knife resembles one. This also connects to Karen who wants to play Flora (which means flower) in the Starlight play and Hikari wants to protect her, Claire can mean bright so it ties into Hikari as well. It’s also a bonus Utena shoutout because Utena’s name means calyx!
Flowers are traditionally representative of women because vaginas. Things that resemble vaginas are known as a yonic symbol. It’s not the first time we’ve seen flowers as a theme, flower petals are all over the show’s opening. We have Flora as a character present and now we have Hikari’s knife. Hell yeah, I love flower symbolism keep bringing it Rev Star!
-Hikari is the only one with this long tassel on the back of her stage outfit and it looks like a giraffe tail! I thought the tassel was from her previous red cape but it’s been there since the start so idk, maybe Hikari is a furry. ; p
-When Giraffe says that Hikari will have to fight “that girl” one day, is he talking about Nana? Or Karen? On one hand, he could be talking about Nana since he is disrupting her time loop and he hasn’t met Karen before. On the other hand, he could be talking about Karen either because he knows about her via the stage’s brain picking magic or he knows there is a girl Hikari loves and is at the next school but he doesn’t know what the girl looks like or anything like that. I dunno, Giraffe please.
-The play that the theater kids in London were doing looked like it was Macbeth, Hikari was wearing a crown and Judy was dressed in armor saying she was here to overthrow the false king. In the play, Macbeth kills the king and takes the throne while Macduff later comes and kills him to avenge his fallen family and king. That makes Hikari Macbeth and Judy Macduff. It is a bit weird that Judy is front and center then since Macbeth is the main character. The play can also be Julius Caesar, Brutus (likely Judy’s role) is the main character in that one and was friends with Caesar (likely Hikari’s role). Or I’m thinking the play could be Titus Andronicus, would fit the graphic poster they have. But Titus would be an awfully graphic play for high schoolers to do so I’m thinking it’s a no lol. Or this is a totally made up play and only based off of Shakespeare.
Either way I’m getting the feeling it’s a Shakespeare style tragedy, the poster has a crowned heart getting stabbed and there’s fire and shit everywhere. Comedies don’t normally have that kind of thing last I checked. Then both plays being performed at the schools that the audition duels have been at are tragedies. Is the stage drawn to tragedies because more drama equals more starlight? Maybe, I do think it’s an interesting similarity though.
-The locations in London are based off of real places! Here’s a nice twitter thread with all of the places.
-So, during the revue I wonder, who’s stage is that? I at first thought it was the school and therefore Nana’s stage but how it looked didn’t match up. Nor does match up with anything in London as far as I can tell. So??? I don’t know? I mean the set burns the fuck down pretty early on but, weird.
-During the duel Nana says “you’re one of us now”. I believe that means she’s gonna work Hikari into her time loops from this point on. Nana I don’t think you’re very good at convincing Hikari here lol.
-Someone recalling a moment they were reborn as a stage girl happened again! Hikari says she’s reborn as a stage girl the day she and Karen saw Starlight together. We have had Hikari, Junna, and Nana talk about that now. Very interesting.
-Hey guys remember in episode five when Hikari says, “Steal isn’t a word to use lightly”. Suddenly that line became a lot more depressing and darker...gdi.
-So back to that poster. That knife looks like Hikari’s, and the crown on the heart looks like Karen’s hair clip. And the literal stage hand is here. Is this foreshadowing? Jesus, this bodes badly for Karen then. ono
-Hey Nana and Karen are tied for 4th, you know what that means. FIGHT FIGHT!
-For a moment when Hikari’s knife is glowing, it looks like an eye! Idk if that means something I just thought it was cool!
-Here’s something HUGE. Now that we know what it costs to be Top Star there's a big old question here, what is Karen gonna do when she finds out? She’ll have to make a choice, grab Top Star anyways throwing all her friends under the bus. Not participate anymore but it's too late for that really. Refuse the Top Star wish, which we don’t know if she’ll be allowed to do that. Make a wish that involves keeping her friend’s starlight but ya need starlight to grant the wish so wouldn’t that cause a paradox? Or, fuck this shit up! Destroy the stage, destroy the giraffe! Set this bitch on fire! But the stage isn’t gonna go down without a fight I don’t think. I’m very curious to see how this goes. Well, let’s see how Karen reacts first and go from there.
>I speculate that the stage is alive with the sounds of suffering music.
-Here I am again with “The stage is alive” theory! So, the stage. It’s this thing that lives in a dreamlike plane of reality and travels around for starlight/radiance. That’s what it feeds off of, and it’s never full. It consumes, discards, and moves on. And its negative effect is felt for a long time afterwards, hence it’s hand appears on the London stage in prop form. The hand we saw during Nana and Hikari’s duel is the real deal. Every prop, set piece, and large set piece has been shown how they work. Strings on the hanging props, gears seen underneath moving the really big ones, we can see set backgrounds are propped up and made out of wood, etc. But this hand? We got nothing, it just appears. This huge stone thing. I think that’s literally the hand of the stage, reaching out and looming over Hikari. It wants her starlight, it wants her revues. It wants, it hungers. I think we see this hand here cause Nana can summon the hand after being so in-tuned with the stage after 60 years. It’s hard to say if Nana noticed she did that or not but she summoned it all the same. I wonder if we will see it again next time she fights? Or maybe later down the line?
-There's a theory that’s been floating around my mind since it was brought up in the Rev Star discord I’m in a while ago, it’s that Flora is Giraffe. The color red, her color, is everywhere regarding the Starlight play, it explains why there's plant life in the underground cause goddess of plants, and in the opening there is two hidden red giraffes here and here. I know it’s kinda shaky but it would explain why the stage seems to be so deeply intertwined with the Starlight play. The tower that holds the star is in the stage in London and here and it’s in the Starlight play itself. Wild speculation I know but thought I’d drop it in here anyways.
-It’s likely that Maya will find out about the time loops, I mean it’s just too good of a character opportunity to miss! The time loops are against everything she stands for and values and for Nana to trap them in one would piss her off a lot. I imagine she could find out via Giraffe, much like Kyubey he doesn’t tell ya stuff until asked and Giraffe has no reason to keep this information away so. After that she’ll probably want to hear from Nana herself and pull her aside to confirm it. Nana I don’t think will take the confrontation well, she wants positive attention and one of her friends being angry at her is the last thing she’d want. Maybe the rest of the girl’s will overhear this whole thing and that’s how they’ll find out? That would be a neat thing to happen cause I’d like to see how everyone deals with that.
>CALLED IT CALLED IT
I CALLED SOMETHINGS! HERES A LIST!
-From my previous write up: “Hikari maybe has fought before has already had something taken from her, that’s why she hasn’t been super successful during her duels. I dunno, throwing it out there cause at this point I’m very ??? a lot about Hikari.” At myself, nice.
-Starlight stealing theory is a go! Not 100% as I described it but hell yeah! I knew that’s what the stage wanted from them! I still wonder who exactly is the Starlight Gatherer. Oh yeah! And starlight does indeed equal radiance! Yeehaw! Also! Looks like I’ve been calling this for quite awhile. Observe! :3c
--From my episode four write up: “The penalty of losing too much in the auditions is that something important to Stage Girls is lost. I strongly think what they lose is their radiance aka starlight. Basically all their abilities they can use to perform.” FUCK YEAH I WAS RIGHT!
--From my episode three write up: “Or two, my theory about the girls being targeted for their radiance/starlight is fucking right. They are gathering girls to create starlight or the girls themselves are gathering this starlight without knowing it, like waiting for a flower to bloom. Whoever blooms first wins, and is picked and therefore screwed. Oh shit man.” HELL YEAH.
--From my episode two write up: “I’m thinking, because this place is so eerie and ominous, it might be powered by a resource only young aspiring theater girls can give. I think it’s either radiance/energy (hence why Karen was so out of it this episode) or it uses the crushed dreams of other girls to create their Top Star. In the stage’s line of thinking, only one girl can make it to the top and the rest of the girls are simply stepping stones for the Top Star. Yikes right?” I’m cackling omg. I feel so accomplished! \owo/
>I don’t trust that fucking giraffe.
Ok kids, we are now armed with both Nana and Hikari knowledge and all that jazz. The flashback episodes are done for the time being. So, the next step is to see what the future holds. I’m pretty giddy to see what’s ahead! We have four episodes left, so that’s like the length of a two hour movie. Nice, we got lots of time still. I’m, so jazzed. Fuck, I love this anime.
See you on the stage for episode 9!

A Benchful of Memories (Abandoned)
Chapter 3 - Untitled (Contains the final outline)
(Previous)  (Last)
Once you get the okay from your human nurse, you dress up and head out to the park.  With a backpack filled with your essentials, you slowly make your way to your favorite bench, only to find someone already sitting there.  The sunlight makes the white of the bones shine brighter when you realize that ah, it’s the skeleton from before.
What was his name again?  Um, something with an S you think.  
Ah, well, it doesn’t really matter right now.  He probably doesn’t remember you anyway.  You’ve only met like, once?  And that was maybe a few days ago?  You don’t think you made a lasting impression anyway.
As you sit down, he cracks an eye socket open (how?) and watches as you set the backpack down next to your feet.
“Well, didn’t expect to see ya so soon.”  Welp, he remembers you.  Just avoid saying his name and maybe you’ll be okay?
“Me neither honestly.  I didn’t think you’d come back to this park.”
“Heh.”  He closes his eye socket and slumps a bit.  “‘s nice and quiet.  Like it here.  Why are you back?”
“I come here pretty often.  I like it here too.”
“Somethin’ we have in common then.”
“Yup.”  He doesn’t say anything else after that, so you bend down to pick through your backpack and grab a sheet of origami paper.  As you sit there making a tulip, the skeleton starts to snore.
Loudly.
...how?
He doesn’t have a nose.  You blink slowly before shaking your head.  He’s a magic skeleton, he can do whatever he wants no matter how anatomically impossible it should be.  The fact that he’s even being held together by nothing but magic should be enough proof.  As you finish the tulip and move on to make a lily, you start wondering more about your bench buddy.
...
..
.
And that’s the end of that chapter lol.
HERE’S THE OUTLINE!  It’s been a year since I last touched this, so like, bear with me.
A Brief Introduction to the OCs:
Rajena (rah-jen-ah):
Based off of axolotls
Kind, bubbly nurse who has mediocre healing powers.  She specializes mainly in studying souls.
Her name is based off of the word “regenerate”, mainly the first few syllables of the word
This is due to the axolotls ability to regenerate severed limbs (don’t actually hurt these babies tho)
Importance: she was supposed to be the Insert’s voice of hope, someone who could encourage them 
Supposed to grow extremely close to the Insert
Comforts the Insert when the ~scene~ happens
The only one who can tell how long the Insert has since she is the only one with permission to see the Insert’s soul
Which is why she tries hard to foster hope (HP) inside the Insert
(SPOILERS) it doesn’t work out in the end
Miss Millie:
Nurse in charge of Insert - most likely a character based around JUSTICE
Southern flair; she’s a very tough but loving person
The mother figure that Insert never had
Wants to exhibit righteous anger but can’t
Has known Insert for a long time - they were admitted at a young age due to an unspecific disease that made them highly susceptible to catching viruses and made them ill easily = hereditary
Most likely a fake disease - I derived inspiration from one of the characters in Persona 3 (both are very different however)
She very much wants to see the Insert live a normal life if possible, so she encourages Insert to go out and make friends - enter monsters
She wants to protect Insert for various reasons
Leads to a moment where she accidentally brings up the hopes of Insert, only to let Insert’s hopes be crushed horribly
Kelsy:
The female cousin - I forget what soul aspect she was based off of, and reverse searching the name isn’t coming up.  But I’m gonna take a guess and think it was BRAVERY
I think they were supposed to be twins?  Kelsy would be the elder
She and her brother are super close with Insert
She will get into fights on the behalf of Insert, especially when it comes to Insert’s parents
She hates Insert’s parents
The other half of the reason why Insert’s hopes get destroyed
Ben:
The male cousin - I forget once more, but he is either KINDNESS or PERSEVERANCE
The smarter of the twins, and definitely the more calmer 
While he’s the more rational half, he tends to fail in actually making sure his sister stays under control when she gets too passionate or emotional
This leads to an outburst that Insert overhears that makes them do very reckless things
Teaches Insert things because he wants Insert to get a taste of school life, even if it’s a shoddy imitation
Wants the best for Insert
Hates Insert’s parents as well
Younger Sister:
She had a name, but I don’t remember what I was gonna call her, nor the aspect she was gonna be focused around
Was supposed to resemble the life that Insert wish they had
A complicated relationship with their parents
Tries very hard to be there for her sibling, but ultimately fails in bringing about the one thing they want
Loves the origami crafts - the one who suggested they do it actually
Originally just stuck around Insert out of pity and obligation but grew to love her sibling due to the patience they exhibited for her
Their parents are not that patient
Blames herself 
The Parents:
Think of Insert as a burden
Still pays the hospital bills and gives Insert an allowance regardless
Focuses mainly on the younger sister as a result
Never gives Insert the attention and validation they crave
AND FINALLY THE OUTLINE:
Basically Sans and Insert meet up whenever the skies are clear and the weather is deemed “good” in a way that won’t wreck the Insert’s health
They chat about Paps, the rest of the gang, Insert’s cousins and sister and nurses
One day Paps meets them, and they all get along swimmingly
Paps suggests that they one day eat dinner together
“I WILL MAKE MY SPECIAL FRIENDSHIP SPAGHETTI!  IT WILL BE AMAZING, HUMAN!”
Reveals that they practically live at the hospital and can’t really go out that far
Pap shouts “NONSENSE!” and brings the party to their hospital room
Millie gets excited when they visit - friends!
Younger sister gets properly introduced a chapter later
Sans and Insert continue to bond over things
Insert reveals why they’re so into origami
They heard of a story once about a girl who was supposed to make a wish after making 1000 paper cranes
The sad part was that she died before making them all
They lend him the book, “Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes”
It was the one gift that they got from their parents that they cherish
Sans learns more about the destructive history of humans and how innocents can easily die from things they didn’t deserve to get
Insert reveals that they love flowers, but because they always die, they’ve resorted to making origami flowers to not only pass the time, but to replace the real flowers in their room
Less death to clean up
Sis and Kelsy get into a fight about the parents
Sis tries to defend them stating they’re just busy, but Kelsy gets upset and says that they’re just avoiding Insert because they don’t want to deal with them
This argument starts to escalate, and Ben ends up forcing Kelsy and himself to leave before it gets out of hand
Sis cries and Insert apologizes
Once Sis leaves, Rajena and Insert have a talk
HP has been declining, and Rajena has been getting worried
The truth comes out: “Honestly?  I’m just waiting to just... you know, die.  It’ll be easier on everyone.  On my family.  My friends.  I mean, all of us can tell.  I’m not gonna live long.  And.  That’s.  Okay.  No one lives forever after all.  I’m just... a burden.  It’ll be better if I just died already.”
Yeah that’s right they’re patiently waiting for death.  It’s why they’ve never actively looked for friends or started any relationships - they saw it as a pointless endeavor that would only serve to hurt more people.  Why create more pain when they should strive to minimize?
This also implies that they can be self-destructive - there are moments where they “forget” to take their meds, or purposely do things that can actively harm their health in the efforts of speeding up their death, not because they are impatient, but because they don’t want to make anyone else wait any longer than they have to
This is very worrying, but before Rajena can do anything about it, she gets called away to care for another patient
Insert realizes that they are lonely.  They accept it.
On a day with Sans, he realizes some of these self-destructive tendencies - notices that Insert isn’t very careful around streets, easily gets cuts or scratches from the outdoors and doesn’t care to clean them when they are in a state in which infections are easy to get, etc etc
He’s gotten close enough to them that he does care if they get sick, knowing their disposition 
Casually steers them away from hurting themselves, making comments about how they’re not gonna get any sharper by hanging out with those thorns, or that sidewalks prefer if they walk on them, and not at their sides despite what their name may imply
Eventually just keeps them from moving too far from his side since it’s easier to keep them from doing stupid things by having them not stray too far from him
Coaxes out more info from them
Wishes to one day see the stars, but they can’t leave the hospital at night
He says that one day, he’ll help and bring the stars to them instead - it makes Insert laugh
Insert meets the rest of the monster gang
Fun and happy times!  The humans and monsters grow closer, Sans and Insert more so since they start trading books, discuss dreams and wishes, maybe even reveal their insecurities
Sans fears repetition and waking up to Groundhogs day, that everything will have lost meaning and that nothing he does will change that
Insert wants validation and affection from their parents, fears being a burden, wonders why they were born
They both promise to be there for the other if something goes bad
Sans reveals that he’s been going on walks because Paps told him to get exercise - that’s how he meets Insert
Turns out that he’s been adjusting pretty badly to the Aboveground - hasn’t been going out much as a result
The park was the closest thing near his house
Insert allowed him to chill and not be bothered
Then they started to talk
Origami was productive and made him feel like he was accomplishing something
The books were interesting and led to discussions he missed having
Insert helped bring about a pattern that got him active again
Around this time is when they both start to crush on the other, but they never admit it
Things have been going pretty good
Gradually getting excited to live life
Time for Insert’s b-day
Excited because even their parents come for their bday usually
Sis and Millie gets them pumped up
Everyone comes
except for parents
Insert waits for them to come through the door
And waits
And waits
The day is almost over
Kelsy calls the parents outside the room and ends up getting into an argument that turns into a yelling fest
Ben doesn’t move to stop her in time
“What do you mean you can’t come visit them?!  They are your child!”
“You can’t just fucking say that-!”
“THEY’VE BEEN WAITING FOR YOU!”
“YOU CAN’T JUST LEAVE THEM HERE!”
“YOU CAN’T SAY THAT ABOUT THEM!”
Yeah they hear everything
Their mind fills in the blanks and they quickly spiral into despair
Unwanted unneeded unnecessary burden no-good-child no one loves you a child no mother loves you worthless why do you exist go away you’re just dragging everyone down how could you say you love them when you’re making them suffer stop it stop it just stop breathing you can’t do anything right can’t even die fast enough they’d be happier if you just-
Visiting hours are over, everyone has to leave
There’s a thunderstorm the next day - Insert sneaks out by breaking their window and leaving through there
Chaos, no one knows where they are and how long they’ve managed to stay out
Sans comes to visit but meets a distraught Rajena
He finds them some time later, hunched over and crying next to the bench
They’re wet, cold, and already sneezing and coughing
He tries to get them to move, but they refuse to
Teleportation powers
They scream and thrash at him when they end up at the hospital
He dodges of course
He talks them down from their hysteria
Hugs and comforts
“You’re not worthless.  You’re an irreplaceable being, y’know?  Don’t need nobody to give you a reason to live.  You just gotta.  Because no one else can be you.  Plus, you make lots of people happy.”
“Like who?”
“Like me.”
“...I’m sorry.”
“There’s nothin’ to apologize for.  It’s not your fault all of this happened.”
They end up getting reaaaally sick
They can’t go out anymore
Everyone visits as much as they can
Slowly getting better but then
Uuhhh parent drama happens and it stresses them the fuck out and ends up making them worse
Parents low-key tell them to just expire already
High School Level Despair
But Sans helps them get through it because they promised right
But they’re HP has taken a fuckton of hits already
Rajena is doing the best she can but by now it’s just prolonging the inevitable
They end up bedridden with one HP and declining health
Doctors conclude that it was bound to happen soon anyways - no they are not being heartless, they’re just as sad
“Memento mori, right?”
But Insert doesn’t want to die now, because they have Sans and Rajena and their cousins and sister and friends, they have hopes and dreams and things they wanna do, and now they can’t do that because they decided to purposely fuck up their health
They break down, and Sans can’t do anything but hug them tight
Gradually, they come to terms with their regret and knows that they can’t change their actions
Chooses however to not blame anyone, or themselves
“On the bright side, I kinda got to decide how I died, right?  Dying because of the rain, it has a romantic sort of sense to it.”
“There’s nothing romantic about dying, though.”
“...Haha.  Yeah, you’re right.”
They end up crying together
Rajena notes their declining health once more, and ends studying their soul - everyone knows why
They all gather for one last get to together in the hospital room
It’s all games and origami and marathons and pizza and laughter and fun
Sans is oddly detached in a way, but he slips Insert a note saying he’s got one last thing for them
INSERT LAST CHAPTER
oh yeah Sans’ nickname for the insert, Bud, is a pun on the fact that they really love flowers, he considers them a friend, and a bud is like, a baby flower. lol

What do u like about Wildqueen?
Anon i love that u asked me this question (i cant sleep so this is great).
Rene is ex military; he was dishonorably discharged for doing sth morally questionable because of something he believed he had to get done. He regrets that deeply (though im not sure he regrets what he did as much as the results of it), as seen in the episode after he was tortured, and he is haunted by his failures , which he sees as a sort of chain that make up his life.
now, thea knows how that feels. She would be able to relate to the discipline, to the dedication that might be ingrained into someone from a military background. and also to bending of general morals to get shit done and/or compromising herself and her integrity for something. (Because she did go with Merlyn, compromising herself cause she wanted to be stronger) I don’t think she would hold what he did against him, or judge him; nor would he hold it against her that she did sth very daring to get control of her life again.
Both Rene and Thea tried doing good with what they were left with, after their failures/tragedies/disappointments. Here is where Rene and Thea might have interesting discussions though, because the WHY of this varies for them. Thea’s morality is much more fluid than Rene’s, I feel. Rene seems to have the whole ‘this is right and this is wrong’ thing going on, while Thea seems more of a ‘this is right for now cause it gets the job done or works for me’ kinda girl. (she has limits obviously) She is not really a joiner or a by-the-system kind, while Rene was military. [what could have possibly prompted a man with such contempt for anyone telling him what to do, to join the military? maybe he was running away from something  - his family situation  - and saw the military as his only escape?] I don’t think he really like being within a structure that tells u what to do, though he could have made friends and found a family of his own there. After his discharge and what prompted it, its also just as probably that he is very disappointed/disillusioned by it. (Personally i doubt that he likes being part of a hierarchy because he has serious authority issues which thea shares and in both cases it stems from parental abuse). Anyway i just know that when it comes to why they do the stuff they do, or why he does and she stopped, those two could have some interesting conversations.
Not to mention that they both would totally relate to each other when it comes to the fuckton of trauma they have been through. Just once i would like to see someone react humanly - as in, the way I do, not the way arrow characters react to fucked up shit that happens to that - to what Thea has been through. I mean, can u imagine? Rene would lose his shit if he knew that
‘yeah i was stabbed through the heart with a sword and almost died and then took a dip into a magic hottub and then got super bloodthirty and THEN ALMOST DIED AGAIN FROM THAT SAME WOUND". ‘u were stabbed.’'Yeah’'Through the chest’'Yup’'By an actual sword? ’*a beat* 'what kind of fucktard psycho uses a sword? ’'oh u would be so surprised. Actually thats bad. With the kind of record the team has, u need to learn to handle one.’'A sword? o_O R u shittting me??’'I shit u not’'Wait wait wait. You took a dip into this pit and now youre like… alive. ’'Yeah’'…dude… thats way weirder than im prepared to handle.’'I KNOW RIGHT!!! ’
(Idk what that up there is, ignore it. Itbsounds more like me talking to thea 😂)
Rene is instinctively protective of those that he percives as needing protection. He went against olivers orders to help a little girl who was in danger in the II ep; because he probably didnt even think about what the Green Arrow would say or do to him. But he also treated Evelyn as an equal and never babied her. (Cause arrow forgot she was a kid but anyway). Thea would most definitely apriciate that and also find it highly refreshing after olivers constant worrying about her and malcolm taking away her agency at every point.
Not to mention that Rene is exactly the kind of dude to find Thea’s ability to kick his ass with one hand behind her back incandescently hot. U gotta respect a guy who respects and is turned on by female power.
He fights hard for what he wants - he is determined and Thea would respect that cause so is she.
Also notice how he always kept his flirting very casual, never pushy never putting anything on her, mostly fun. Cause thats a good point in his favour and would be in Thea’s books too. And how she dismisses him but in a kinda half amused half annoyed way. Its rather hilarious. And i love that despite her shooting him down he never gets bitter about it. Those two times he just kept on smiling. I bet their flirting would be so agressively playful.
He is very observant (as far as I’ve noticed he is the only one that brings in the evidence for felicity) and im thinking he is very good at noticing when ppl change patterns of behavior. he didnt realize what the change meant in Evelyn, in terms of emotions, but he was able to pinpoint exactly /when/ it had happened: after they learned oliver was a the Hood. —> Thea is super smart emotionally and has this amazing radar about when ppl’s *feelings* shift. Oliver and moira never fooled her with their 'were gonna pretend for theas sake’ shtick. She didnt know why but she knew sth is up. That’s great material there. Id be willing to explore that. The good and the bad. The way they might pick up on each other’s moods, tendencies. Good and bad days. The different ways they would notice stuff about each other: Rene by noticing when she does things differently, when she deviates from her routine. Thea noticing when he is angry or happy or annoyed about something, learning how to associate his expressions with his feelings. The two of them baffling each other on how they notice these little things that the other wouldn’t think to notice about anyone, or that they didn’t think anyone noticed about them.
It’s fun to think about.
Rene is exeptionally straightforward and honest. Thea would love that about him. Both would speak their mind frankly to each other since neither is more sensitive than the other.
Rene seems to concentrate on things he does well - mostly physical stuff, stuff with his hands (i noticed this in the crosover. While the nerds were doing their own thing rene was calmly sitting down doing his own thing, handling his weapons i think). He’s probably a kinetic learner, like Oliver. And is very comfortable around ppl who do well with their own things, which Rene might have no idea how to do. I just mean that he is comfortable in his own skin and isnt threatened by other people's power or inteligence. (That moment when Felicity delegated to him and Rory to do that analysis thing, and Rene was totally chill admitting he had no idea what felicity had been talking about and that he Rory and Curtis were the smart ones). And this brings me back to Thea being absolutely charmed by this kind of quality because Rene can manage to be sure in himself without being arrogant.
Also circles back to him loving that he can actually learn stuff from her, fighting-wise. And that would really boost Thea’s selfconfidence because i can just see Rene being flirty about it at first and then surprising her by taking her very seriously and truly wanting to learn.  And in turn she would be a good teacher because though not always the most sensitive, Thea is patient. She would love it that he is sure in himself that he would think nothing of asking her to teach him. And that he respects her and her skill to want to learn from her. Something that nobody has asked her before. And in turn, she would notice that he is an amazing team player and that she can actually play off of him when it comes to having a laugh or teasing the other team members cause theyre both sich little shits. (im also thinking that Rene’s specialty in the field would be recon - because he is so good that noticing when the environment changes, and keep track of patters and routes and stuff like that)
Rene was physically abused by his father. Thea was psycologically abused by hers. They would be able to regognise each others hurts and false-steps naturally and it would add another layer of understanding to their relationship but also a kind of tenderness and protectiveness for each other. I feel like neither of them is much of a cudler in the traditional sense of the word but they would be able to understand each others need for affection and the occasional fear of it. I mean - their scars are symetrical in some way so they would understand each others impulses a lot better than most have before them.
Despite his history tho, rene loves kids and seems hopeful about having kids (abused children will tell u that growing up into that kind of person takes strength and most certaily, goodness), which tells me that there is a lot of hope inside that man. Thea seems to be struggling to grasp onto some kind of hope, for a normal life, a normal self, something to give her meaning. They could help each other find that hope within themselves. Rene could have a positive thing or two to share with thea even, since she is more of a stark realist while rene seems to be more positive.
He is so fucking upbeat about things he actually enjoys. Like the christmass sock that evelyn gave him. Remember that smile? How eager he was and how he tore into that gift - that was precious and so pure, in the real sense of the word, not the tumblr one. I think even after all hes seen rene - and i think this is his best character trait - still has that boyish wonder intact. What makes him an idealist no matter how hard he protects himself with that jaded attitude. Hes not jaded - hes pragmatic and has issues.
And thea, oh my god, she needs someone who can really just have fun with her again. Someone who would delight in having a good time, who would love to laugh with her. Who would teach her how to see the wonderous and the joyous in the world again because i think she is having such a hard time this year. (Im very suspitious of the extreme change she has made from last year to this year and how stubborly she clings to this new status quo. Not that she shouldnt want to get away from the violence - that is an a+ reasoning for her. But her stubborness to keep away feels like fear. And i want to know what she isafraid of and why. Why she doubts herself) Im not at all convinced she is doing as well as she fronts and even if she is, she seems so serious all the time. She used to love parties - not the drug and alcohol kind but the 'together with my family and friends’ kind and rene dies too. They would have the most outrageous christmass ever. Thea would totally spoil him with all these eccentric gifts that are rpobably super inner jokes between them and rene would have a blast decorating the tree with her.
The fights would probably be very explosive cause theyre both hotheaded ppl and where thea can admit she was wrong, rene would need a little more work but im willing to bet that it wouldnt be so hard in the face of someone he loves and considers equal to himself (it was harder for him to apologise to oliver cause its a power thing and a dick measuring thing and a pride thing - elements that would be a non issue cause there would be no such disparities with thea)
Theyre also both very physical ppl and very expressive ppl so im guessing sex would be such fun for them and theyd love to try new things and just go for whatever they want.
Look i could go on. But these are all the surface level stuff i could think of. Im sure there is more. For the most part, what got me into thinking i could rly like the idea of them is the fact that around her, rene is a total goofball (i just love how sincere he is in his admiration without once seeming creepy) - i like seeing him like that and i would love to see thea laugh more. I just think they could be good to each otherband that there is a story there.

COMIC TEA PARTY- WEEK LONG BOOK CLUB START!
Hello and welcome everyone to Comic Tea Party’s Week Long Book Club~! This week we’ll be focusing on The Angel with Black Wings by Mharz~! (http://blackwings.Mharz.com/)
You are free to read and comment about the comic all week at your own pace, so stop on by whenever it suits your schedule! Remember, though, that while we allow constructive criticism, our focus is to have fun and appreciate the comic. Below you will find four questions to get you started on the discussion. However, a new question will be posted and pinned everyday (between 12:01AM and 6AM PST), so keep checking back for more! You have until November 25th to tell us all your wonderful thoughts! With that established, let’s get going on the reading and the chatting!
QUESTION 1. What has been your favorite scene in the comic so far? What specifically did you like about it?
QUESTION 2. At the moment, who is your favorite character? What about that character earns them this favor?
QUESTION 3. Why do you believe that Ray is able to see angels? Is there something special about him or is it just by chance? Also, what makes him an exception to the rule that allows Big Sis to talk to him directly?
QUESTION 4. Why do you think Big Sis has black wings? What do you think Big Sis’ life was like when she was human? What about her past as an angel? What do you believe Big Sis’ intense connection to Ray is, and do you think that will get her into more trouble?
Climaxstriker
1. My favorite part is when Big Sis caught the apple Danillo threw then threw it back at him. Jerk had it coming, much like the apple that was headed for his face. 2. Big Sis because she's too pure for this world. 3. I think Ray has been given permission to talk to Big Sis after some string pulling on Silver's part. 4. I think Big Sis is Ray's mom due to her saying that Angels can look as old as they want, Cynthia did say that she had a college friend who was beautiful as an angel (So, Big Sis. Don't deny it, she's turn many many heads.) She killed someone with scissors. Could be any reason, dude could've been seriously drunk and would've seriously harmed Ray as a baby had she not have done anything.
Mharz
ends up thinking the exorcist but yeah for sure she totally made a lot of heads turn. That's the only thing I can confirm tho.
Kabocha
1. What has been your favorite scene in the comic so far? What specifically did you like about it? Probably this one: http://blackwings.Mharz.com/comic/309 Things get real for ray after this, and he starts to realize what happens when you poke your nose where it doesn't belong.
2. At the moment, who is your favorite character? What about that character earns them this favor? Mara! She made such a huge change in her attitude and how she was treating people. I'm glad she's a nice girl.... I kind of hope she gets a chance to punch Albert.
3. Why do you believe that Ray is able to see angels? Is there something special about him or is it just by chance? Also, what makes him an exception to the rule that allows Big Sis to talk to him directly? ...Hm. I think Big sis is making up her own rules as she goes. Also, I'm like, 99% sure Ray's blood-related to her somehow, so the whole angel thing might be being sensitive to family - Ray's just more special than Mara.
4. Why do you think Big Sis has black wings? What do you think Big Sis’ life was like when she was human? What about her past as an angel? What do you believe Big Sis’ intense connection to Ray is, and do you think that will get her into more trouble? Big Sis probably stabbed someone.... Probably. Can't say for sure though.(edited)
funakounasoul
I'm doing a reread of this for this week because I love it!but last time, I made it to Ch 11 before life/work got in the way, so my answers today will reflect my previous knowledge :3
1. My fave scene so far has been the fight with some demons just because the action was pretty sweet. With the rest of the comic being more about conversations and mystery, it really stood out and kept me on the edge of my seat
2. Mara is my fave because of personal reasons. She reminds me of a bff I used to have and I wonder how they're doing in life now. I get why she did the things she did despite being great friends with Ray before. Anf her development is really solid(edited)
3. I've always believed that there are just some people who are more sensitive to certain things and in this case, ray is sensitive to seeing angels. And sometimes, these abilities can be both blessings (being able to meet Big Sis) but curses (being seen as odd/bullying...)
4. My CURRENT theory is that Big Sis is related to Ray directly. Mom? Or maybe some otger relation we don't know of? Grandmother?? Especially with the "any age"appearance comment. And i think she may have killed someone. But heaven, being typically seen as Lawful Good, sees all murders as bad even if she was in the right (aka self-defense) and maybe that is the initial reasoning behind her attitudes toward some of the strict rules angels have to follow...
Mharz
@Kabocha you mean the start of Ray's "you had one job" career?
Kabocha
I dunno, his one job started before that.... it just hit peak "Don't be dumb" at that point
Mharz
Also glad to see there are peeps liking Mara (can't say the same for Ray)
Lol Kabocha
Personally, I don't blame Ray seeing how he's been picked on and given false promises. You'll find people hard to trust.
funakounasoul
I do feel like I should be more connected to Ray, but - at least in my read thus far - I'm definitely having trouble doing so at times. I understand he's had some bad history to the point where he has trouble trusting folks, but his moments of abrasiveness sometimes make me wanna go "No. Ray...Ray...shhh...breathe...listen to them."
Mharz
Lol. I have to say Ray is the type of person that once his mind made a conclusion, he sticks to it. Unless this was proven wrong thru action not just words in which it takes a reeeeeeaaaallly long time.
keii4ii
TBH I don't think I would've been any better in his situation, at his age...
I might have been a different variety of bad, but still the same degree of bad
Kabocha
I'm still the same kind of stubborn as Ray, but it doesn't mean I have to like seeing him be that way. All that anger ain't good for him!
Mharz
I'm honestly pretty angsty similar to Ray back at his age. You could say a part of his character is my residual resentment towards my schoolmates for picking on me. I still get a bit angsty from time to time tho lol. I'm just trying to control myself better than I was younger. :v
funakounasoul
We've all had those moments, or knew someone like that. I preferred the company of others, but you know teenagers - we all think we're correct and tough and amazing but we're still learning :P BUT I do think this will set Ray up to have an amazing character development through the rest of the story. We may want him to shhhhh, but I know I'm curious as to how he'll learn to open up a little toward those that mean a lot to him (and learn he has people that mean a lot to him, even if he doesn't notice it yet)
Climaxstriker
Had some "Friends" Pull pranks on me and trick me so I know what Mara went through in terms of having fake friends.
Climaxstriker
after one joke too many. I told them to pound sand.
RebelVampire
QUESTION 5. Who do you believe Silver is given one demon described her as “infamous?” Why do you think Silver cares so much about Big Sis? Also, why do you believe that Silver is so stringent about the rules compared to other angels?
Climaxstriker
I think she cares so much about big sis because she fell for her hard.
Mharz
@funakounasoul lol yes... I hope. XD
I have to say, while it's true Silver had indeed fallen in love with Big Sis there is another reason she's totally vouching for her. Something that she herself only knew. Just ask her.
Climaxstriker
>_>?
I am intriqued
was it the reason Big Sis killed the dude with scissors?(edited)
Mharz
Nyope.
I can't say much more tho. I like to think the reason will come from the left field once it surfaced.
RebelVampire
1) the scene where mara tells off her "friends." that moment felt so incredibly earned and represented a fantastic character arc that had a beautiful conclusion. which leads me into... 2) Mara. of all the characters Mara feels the most developed and the most changed into a better person. her growth is really fun to watch. however, even before her motivations were sympathetic even if severely misguided. and given shes a teen it all made a lot of sense. overally, i like seeing this great girl grow and learn from her mistakes and try to make amends like the beautiful person shes trying to become. 3) I actually think Ray's powers might just be happenstance. And besides that with the current events of the comic I have to assume it's less rare than we've been made to believe. as for the exception, billionthing the assumption that ray is related to big sis, though i would like to add to the discussion that its highly doubtful its his mom. exhibit A http://blackwings.Mharz.com/comic/241 i dont think shed need to ask where his mom is if she is his mom XD unless she doesnt know where she is. 4) she either did the murders or hurt someone. although i think silver mentioned incidents or her self sacrificing nature or something like that. so it might be a compounding issue. where she did this alot because shes clearly not the most...cautious with her powers. and they finally said okay no more slaps on the wrist. i do think big sis is probably gonna get more into trouble cause even this exception thing seems like a huge bending of the rules that every angel is just willfully ignoring for Big Sis' sake. 5) I assume that silver is an archangel or something like that. super high up there in the scheme of things. and i also just think silver is a great girl who understands powers can hurt just as much as they can help. and someone has to look out and enforce the rules cause otherwise we just have anarchy.
Mharz
I have to say I did pick my choice of words in the dialogue especially on the page Rebel mentioned in which no one has noticed something strange about. <.<
RebelVampire
QUESTION 6. Do you think that Ray will learn the power of forgiveness when it comes to Mara? What about when it comes to Big Sis? Will this help him help Big Sis in some way? Additionally, what other ways do you think Ray will grow as a person?
RebelVampire
6) gonna be honest, personally speaking im not sure ray will grow as a person anymore that much XD like theres stubborn...and then theres ray. ray took stubborn and moved the goal post infinitely far away to neverland. i mean i would hope he grows, but idk. it may take a while. maybe when hes 50 and has to walk around with a cane. XD i think hell at least forgive big sis in his own way. and i think that will help big sis forgive herself cause she seems to have a lot of issues with forgiving herself
Kabocha
Ray might grow, but he's going to need to get something to teach him he needs to... Right now everything that goes wrong kind of just continues to justify it.
Mara can be nice all she wants, and Albert can be a jerk... But Ray has learned nothing. I don't think TAWBW is a story about Ray's growth so much as it is about Big Sis learning to forgive herself in the long run. Ray's just the character who we see things through.
RebelVampire
honestly im curious what it will take to teach him. cause it must be grandiose and amazing. but even if the story isnt technically about ray's growth, he does need to grow. because hes the protagonist.
well okay tbf he doesnt need to grow. or more accurately he could technically grow into a worse person? i mean i doubt its gonna go that way, but just clarifying
Kabocha
Ahahaha
He really needs to um... Change a little bit? Not in a good/bad way -- and this could be webcomic time talking for me bc I haven't done a full reread in a while... but like, he needs to be just more observant or mindful. He's kind of stuck in the same place, and that's fine -- it's just more interesting to see other characters progress and change.
RebelVampire
i had to reread it for questions, so its not just webcomic time. he has been stuck for quite a while. and to a degree i get it cause for every step int he right direction, a bad thing reinforces his world views. but i have been waiting for that big thing thats gonna kick that boy in the butt and get him to change just a little.
maybe itll be that nice cop
comes to save ray
ray is like wtf is this
Kabocha
Maybe. But he'll continue to be bitter for a while, haha...
Like, after that angel tried to kill him, I would have been like "wait why does it think I'm a sinner OH CRAP"
but he's not done much introspection!
While Big Sis might be able to be saved and redeemed by Heaven... Maybe Ray's just doomed? Like, is this story going to end up with him ending up damned, or genuinely close to it? I kind of want to see another Angel that Ray trusted "pass judgement" or at least force Ray to examine his behavior bc telling him to behave in real time hasn't worked real well
Big Sis has remorse for whatever it was she did. Ray's just a brat and is going to continue to hurt people.
RebelVampire
ya know thats a great point! it seems like a lot of ray's problem is he does no introspection.
thatd be an interesting scenario
although maybe its gonna take a big time mistake on his part
that forces him to realizes human make mistakes
and he is human
thus he is doomed to the mistakes
Kabocha
I think if he was forced to review his own behavior, he'd probably think twice about how he's behaved. After some defensiveness, of course -- because it's only human to go "but I was justified!"
He might be justified to a degree, but it doesn't make him morally superior!
RebelVampire
yeah.
although now im curious what ray would do if someone died for him
Kabocha
Oh no. :<
That might break him.
RebelVampire
cause at that point it would take some immense logic leaps to still think ppl are awful and the person helped him for selfish reasons
Kabocha
As stubborn as he is, I think that would honestly break him to realize someone cared that much that they'd die for him.
RebelVampire
i think it would actually break him to
cause even if he didnt care about the person i think that is something that would shatter his world view
Kabocha
Yeah. Now I'm trying to think through how he'd probably take it...
It'd probably start off with denying it -- then he'd go straight to anger at himself because I don't think he sees himself as worth protecting to that degree. Sure, he might be salty at Big Sis for "abandoning" him, but... It's easy to be mad for him. Past that, he might spend a lot of time wondering "why" and think about his behavior and try to figure out why he's worth it when he's been such a butt.
...............And then Silver would probably smack him and tell him to do better to become worth it.
RebelVampire
yes i definitely agree about the silver part
cause he seems to listen to silver to a degree
even if silver can be cryptic at best XD
Kabocha
Yeah, ahaha
I would think at that point Silver would just be tired of his shit though, and be like, "Do better, don't make this a waste."
RebelVampire
maybe. although ironically fulfills her duty of guiding humans and such. so good on silver for still doing her job
Kabocha
Somehow, I feel like the exemptions might be slightly more lax in the near future, especially if someone dies for Ray
given what Bnaenae's doing -- shit's about to get bad imo
RebelVampire
yeah this is the prime time for this scenario to play out if it does
although tbf the set up alone might spark introspection
just cause ray hates bad ppl and is now suddenly see what happens when you decide to treat bad ppl badly
Kabocha
True, but he may just say "I haven't sinned"
RebelVampire
maybe albert will disagree O_O
show up to monologue
Kabocha
That would be interesting to see... Although I suspect Albert might end up getting his POV changed a bit.
RebelVampire
tbh idk if i expect growth from albert
tbh i....i kind of expect him to die
die a very bad death
Kabocha
Hm, see, I dunno that he would die -- Serena though? I think that she's likely to get hurt on his behalf.
RebelVampire
that seems likely maybe. idk. i dont feel i know serena enough
what if all the angels on the bad side get black wings O_O at least big sis wont have to feel sad and alone anymore
Kabocha
Hmm, maybe. But it could be a case where as long as they're pure in their ideals and try to do God's work, they're okay
or they have another source for their wholly Holy wrath
RebelVampire
they have to go back to angel boarding school
funakounasoul
For me, I feel he could change at least to a neutral maturation...but he has to experience something REALLY drastic. Something that hits him so hard that makes him re-evaluate himself. He may be an adult when we see a change in him (like an epilogue or something) but I think he can change. People always grow and learn new things even as old folks...if they're not TOO stubborn, though xD
Mharz
I like to think that Ray is a child who has a looooooot to learn and he's not as bad as Shin from Robonoid. <.<
RebelVampire
QUESTION 7. Where do you think Big Sis has been while Ray has been dealing with Legion? Is she being held against her will, or do you think it’s partially by choice? Why do you think we’ve seen her being trained to fight?
Climaxstriker
Tricky, I think she's been tricked by Bnaenae. Prettyboi jerkbag extraordinaire who needs a toaster to swung into his pretty friggin face >=/ I think at first it was because she was lied to. I think she's been set up, the legion wouldn't take in someone who committed a crime in life. So, she's likely a pawn in Bnaenae's plan, likely involving her dying. I can't imagine her being a permanent asset to a group as crazy about perfection as the legion. After Ray accused her of stealing souls like a friggin moron, that's when Bnaenae started holding her against her will. That's when that other mysterious guy I'm calling "Bigger Bro" (or just Big Bro) busted Big Sis out of angel jail.
RebelVampire

RebelVampire
QUESTION 8. What are your theories about Legion? Do you think Lucifer is responsible, or is someone else calling the shots? How do you think that Legion was able to slip under the radar? Who exactly is the man threatening to kill the mayor and why broadcast it?
Climaxstriker
I think believe Lucifer is calling the shots. He must've been the man that sucked out the Mayor's soul. He did some pretty high up in the food chain. As for how they slipped under the radar. I got no clue. >_>
Kabocha
I dunno, if Bnaenae was lucifer, I'd think the other angels would know... Unless they're all about to fall. I wonder if they're working with the demons that showed up earlier in the story >_>
Mharz
So many things I can answer but spoilers lol. <.<
One thing I could say is, I don't think these angels would join the legion if it's not for a "noble cause." >.>
mathtans
Going from memory on this... as far as favourite scenes, two that still stand out without diving back into the archive are ones mentioned by others. The battle in the mall, and Mara kind of coming to her senses.
-Favourite character? Tempting to say Mara like so many others (I also like her visual design), but I think I'll go Silver. She just seems clever and subversive, like trying to do the right thing under the radar. Also, fun times in Ray's dreams.
-Ray sees angels because his father was actually an angel. Or a demon. Something like that. Sure, why not.
-Black wings, still because someone spilled ink on them. Or, okay, it's soot, because she would hang out a lot down in hell, maybe.
-Silver knows that you've gotta have rules, otherwise there's chaos. Also, is secretly God... it's like one of those "HIdden Boss" TV shows.
RebelVampire
QUESTION 9. What do you think Ray’s role will be in dealing with Legion (and can he do anything in the first place)? Will Ray find some way to expose Albert? Also, why do you think Albert is part of Legion in the first place?
Climaxstriker
hmmmm..... Since the legion provided a......rather shitty first impression for angels. Ray will likely have to convince people like Alvarez not all angels are evil. That there are good angels like Silver. Dunno if Albert is really bothering to give himself some cover. As for why he is in the legion in the first place.....I feel like he's been wronged for so long. Like, he feels like any good people he met has suffered at the hands of criminals and they just got off scott-free. That's just a guess tho.
RebelVampire
i like math's theory about the ink. big sis was a prolific angel author, until one day she tripped and the ink just went everywhere. and everyone knows you cant get out those ink stains XD
RebelVampire
7) I think Big Sis' situation may be a mixture of both. IN that she was brought against her will, was told "blah blah blah do this training because it will help you for blah blah blah reasons." and big sis was like "blah blah blah reasons you say? okay i will stay." but they also made a condition she couldnt leave for a long time and big sis was like "hahaha no" and that is where in shes being held against her will. cause while shes pursuing her own goals shes also being given tight restrictions and big sis is not a rule follower. maybe learning to fight will help her protect ray or something tho. cause she does keep getting trounced by demons. 8) It's clearly Lucifer's son who is responsible O_O /shot but more likely i think its someone using lucifer's name to manipulate others. cause assuming lucifer is dead, its not like lucifer can say "hey that isnt me. stawp that." as for slipping under the radar, eh, it was probably easier than they made it sound. i mean its not like theres an angel time clock i imagine. there seems to be a lot of autonomy. so until the soul sucking started there whereabouts and ambitions were probably super easy to hide. 9) i question if ray will even make an effort to stop legion. unless albert directly puts him in danger. and if he becomes involved i think it will be in an effort just to save big sis. as for albert, i assume he was some kid who was like ray and got bullied a lot. and he decided to challenge that and no longer be the victim. and before he realized it he became the bully for "a good cause."
mathtans
-I kind of hope that Ray realizing that Mara is a better person now will lead him to realizing that not everything Big Sis does (or did) was under her control either. But yeah, major facepalm as he goes off on Big Sis for not being around when he doesn't know anything. (I actually thought that was another dream sequence.)
-Big Sis is the nominated champion for the all the angels, because there's a prophecy about black wings. That's why she's training, even though she's not necessarily keen on it. (In all seriousness, I think she may be a champion of sorts because her black wings allow her to not be corrupted or something, like she's already corrupted herself. idk.)
-I don't know that Legion slipped under the radar, I think maybe they were vocal, just not necessarily about how they were going to achieve their goals. There was just this group who were going to make positive change through more tea parties, and then suddenly it was "ok, instead of tea parties, we're Legion and we're taking souls" and everyone thought "huh, that escalated, but the goal's the same, I'm still all in".
Mharz
I wouldn't say Big Sis is a champion of some sorts but there IS something. It's more of "just totally unlucky that it was her" rather than "being the chosen one."
I like the tea party analogy lol.
snuffysam
i feel like it wouldn't be hard for legion to slip under the radar. like let's say every pure-hearted person becomes an angel. and angels on average are able to last one century before getting killed by demons. unless the conditions for becoming an angel are SUPER strict, there are at least a billion of them flying around (and there'd have to be for any reasonable number of people to get guardian angels). that means each archangel is responsible for over 100,000,000 angels i doubt you'd notice if a club of a couple hundred dudes was forming when that's less than 0.0001% of your employees
mathtans
I approve of such mathematical arguments.
Mharz
Add some shenanigans and it's absolutely feasible
snuffysam
shenanigans always make things better
Mharz
Shenanigans make everything complex yes.
Climaxstriker
and funnier
we need more shenanigans in our lives
Mharz
When shenanigans ends up dooming society. Yup... Fun... <.<
Climaxstriker
Not those kinds of shenanigans tho D=
RebelVampire
QUESTION 10. What are you most looking forward to in the comic? Also, do you have any final thoughts to share overall?
Climaxstriker
I'm looking forward to finally finding out Big Sis' past and who that guy was that busted her out and how it all ends. Big Sis' past and that guy's identity is because, if you think hard on theories on what they are, and in the end it proves to be right, it's a really satisfying feeling. More than a simple "AHA, I FUCKING CALLED IT!" It's more like...."Yaaas, I was right all along and I worked so hard to find the evidence for it too!" Last part is because well, naturally I'd want to see how it all goes down. Seriously, what fan wouldn't? >_>
Mharz
What I'm looking forward to is more people theorizing TABW. This is the most elaborated thing I wrote and I did leave lots of context clues for overthinkers to crunch on. At the same time, maintaining the interactions and feels. Well, I try at least.
mathtans
The entire comic is happening in Ray's mind. Everyone is really part of his family, in a "Wizard of Oz" kind of way. That's how Big Sis is his mother.
Mharz
Lol
RebelVampire
10) im looking forward to mara becoming a beautiful angel when she dies while ray becomes a crotchety old man who yells at kids to get off his lawn.
Climaxstriker
That is likely how it goes if Mharz does a bad ending. Thing is, that's actually realistic, considering how much of a jerk Ray can be. >_>
Kabocha
Oh noooo ahaha
How likely is a Ray/Mara ship in the future, ya think?
Climaxstriker
if Ray can stop being an edgy jerk and go through some much needed character development, more likely that we think. XD
snuffysam
kinda surprised nobody's shipped big sis with bigger, cooler sis in this chat yet
silver is mostly enforcing the rules all the time but they seem like they were quite close before big sis did a slip and slide through a coal mine
(like if silver didn't care, she wouldn't bother to stop big sis before she breaks the rules after a few attempts)
Climaxstriker
It's been shipped in Mharz' discord. >w>
Kabocha
They're definitely a ship
100%. Although I do wonder about how much Silver can get romantically involved with the lower ranks lol
Mharz
I mean I am shipping Big Sis and Silver from the get go. <.< She isn't sexually attracted tho. She's fine with fluffy hugs and giving secret gifts.
snuffysam
that makes sense
one thing i hope for the future is that ray makes more friends. like that lady at the cafe.
Mharz
That will be up to Ray. XD
mathtans
Maybe that lady at the cafe is secretly Ray's mother.
Or Big Sis's mother.
Climaxstriker
Who knows >_>
snuffysam
big sis is older than she looks, remember (since she hasn't aged at all since she died). maybe the lady is big sis's little sister, and the lady is somehow responsible for big sis's death?
Mharz
They're not related actually
snuffysam
but the lady IS responsible for big sis's death
Mharz
http://blackwings.Mharz.com/comic/249
snuffysam
well sure. but that all happened before the lady stabbed her
Mharz
I'd totally love to explore this more eventually.
I'm thinking of making a comic about Big Sis' life but it won't be until all spoilers are spilled.
Kabocha
I vaguely recall Big Sis' life previously was quite... unpleasant
so was this lady also doing that unpleasant job
snuffysam
oh so maybe she was a bully to big sis, and that's the sin she's atoning for?
at the workplace
Mharz
It's more along the lines of "getting her to that unpleasant place." >.>
Kabocha
... REALLY
Was she trying to help or was she uh... ....
So basically, this lady's up on Legion's chopping block next
Mharz
S-She was trying to help(edited)
<.<
Kabocha
ahahah
Mharz
Poor Big Sis never caught a break. -_-
Climaxstriker
Not Cynthia D=
she's nice!
Mharz
Idk
Climaxstriker
Is teh cat important?
remembers Bnaenae cat Oh shit
I will give bnaenae fish.
....as it's cooking in the toaster....which I shall promptly swing into his face! as the toaster is cooking the fish! D=<
Mharz
#blameBnaenae
I'm definitely excited for the upcoming chapters
Climaxstriker
Me too. I need teh answers! D=
Mharz
It won't be answered for the next 5 years probably
Climaxstriker
Das ok. I've been waiting for game updates that took a while. >_>
Mharz
<.<
Climaxstriker
I've also waited six months for a golden opportunity to orchestrate a ridiculous and convoluted scheme that was actually a well-thought out plan that would probably take a while to explain. >_> I can wait for a whiiiile like a reeeeeeeally long while for the hyped up stuff.(edited)
Mharz
I've been hyping edgy sis for years now and she still hasnt appeared
Climaxstriker
edgy big sis? >_>
=_= not sure if past Big Sis or future Big Sis is edgy Big Sis
Mharz
The one with white hair.
Climaxstriker
Was wondering why she had white hair >_>
Mharz
There's a deep but shallow reason for that. I will mention when the time comes.
Climaxstriker
Determinedly waits for the time to come
snuffysam
wearing a wig
