NIPPLE PIERCING | BAJI KEISUKE
summary: you are an owner of a tattoo + piercing shop and a pretty boy books an appointment to get both. Reblogs are appreciated~
content warning: piercings and tattoo's, dom reader , pretty boy, semi-public, baji , i know nothing abt tattoo shops, I wrote this at 1:07 in the morning, reader is referred to master,{y/n}-
minors do not read! if you do you will be tainted ig? >:(
Tumblr media
Working as a tattoo artist is not as easy as it seems. Sure, it lets your imagination run wild but the constant fear of disappointing your customers and ruining a tattoo is always there.
It's been a long ass day for you and you can't wait to skedaddle the fuck outa the shop, but God was remembering all the bad things you've done like come on man! Burning a child molester's house down with him in it is not a sin!
The sound of the bell in the shop chiming indicated that someone has entered the shop.
'I really need to change the closing time to 30 minutes earlier so they don't come in one minute before the closing time.'
Miss girl was done with life.
One thing great about being a female tattoo and piercing artist was that girls aren't afraid or that shy with you. That's why you more successful than yo big bro ;).
Sure you've had a couple o crushes and minor flings here and there but nothing was serious the other party knew this was not going to escalate more than a make out and neither did they disagree with that.
But boy was your last customer hot. He was panting with glossy sweat trickling down to his neck rose red tongue slightly sticking out and silky black hair looking like he just modeled for a Sunsilk ad. He has some good fashion sense too, with a midnight black choker with multiple silver chains attached to it , amber see-through shirt and lose marine blue jeans.
' Thank god I haven't closed yet! If i did i would have missed this amazing opportunity!'
" hey! What can i do for you?" You said in a slightly raspy and tired voice. And god, was that shit hot.
"Thank god Im not late....." The pretty boy muttered.
"Hey! I was thinking if you're not running late for anything and if you can..... May i get a tattoo and piercing please?"
"Where do you want to get it and do you have a picture of what you want to get?"
" I went it on my chest and the piercing i wantitonmynipple " his words were fumbled and you can't exactly understand them
" honey im gonna need you to speak a little slower on the piercing part"
" I want piercing on ...... my ..ni- nipples" Finally he got the clogged up words out of his mouth but he feels pretty embarrassed about having to say that in front of a lady that is so pretty godly amazing eye-catching magnificent wonderful blessed seggs- ok i'll stop >:).
" OHHH you wanna nip piercinmg? Don't worry hon i've done piercing on a few girls before but not on a guy that's a handsome as you~"
He was ready to bomb himself for the embarrassment but the praise sent blood gushing to his cheeks and especially t his dick-
"Come'on hun gotta lay down... unless you want it standing up"
You tried easing the stranger which you found out his name is keisuke. A hot name for a hot stranger-
the tattoo was easy a feathery arrow with a small pair of chopsticks acting as it's bow.
You deid to innturupt the silence.
" yu know? Funny how a few hours ago a blondie asked for the same tattoo as you. You know em' ?"
"Did he have an undercut and greenish blueish eyes?"
"so you do know him..... a tat for best friends?"
"yeah........BUT IT WAS A DARE"
Keisuke looked like he is pretty embarrassed about getting the tattoo but you find it adorable how eyes darting from left to right wanting to meet anything but yours, the tip of his ears are dusted with a coat of rosy pink.
'if his ears and neck are such a beautifully flushed shade of pink i wonder how flushed his dic- Y/N STOP BEGONE HORNY THOUGHTS'
Stuck in your........ interesting thought process, you couldn't hear baji calling you.
"-Y- EY- HEY? Miss tattoo artist? I've been calling you quite afew times..... are you okay? And you've already finished my tattoo...."
oh. i'm done with his tattoo? since when?
Oh. OH- it's time for the piercing-
I know that I've done this a shit ton of times but gah damn I feel like a train wreck.
A speck of flush sprinkled on his cheeks 😏 as he slowly almost as he was teasing you pulled his shirt off.
OH MA LAWDY LAWD IS THIS MAN 🙏 so damn fineeeee😫😫😫 meaty arms that flex unconsciously as he moves to cover himself pecs that look like real boobies #stanmanboobies.
"s-stop starina-hh"
it's as if your hands had a mind of theyre own. Moving the pads of your fingers around his cotton pink nipples. Steadily swirling them to the background music of the shop. "take it slow put it down on me" and indeed you took it slow just like the lyrics had said.
You ripped of your shirt which now left you with only a sports bra, and climbed on top of the pretty boy. Ploddingly grinding on his rampant crotch you took the tie that was ripped off with the shirt and tied his wrist together.
"M-mas-ter-r sto-p teasiNG"
Master. Master was all he said and only that was needed to makeyou loose all self control.
"you're so sensitive baby~" the tiredness in your voice vanishing instantly and getting replaced with a mischievous tone.
"master please please please PLeASe"
"please what baby i don't know what you're saying" you almost started feeling bad as you know you were being a little mean but KEY WORD: ALMOST.
"ma-master..." keisuke looked ashamed of saying it out loud but you weren't gonna move unless he says it. #airforceenergy #periot
Keisuke looked into your eyes clearly flustered but says it anyways.
"master please ride my dick suck it DO WHATEVER. JUST PLEase use me...." voice gradually shrinking, he pleaded with the last braincell he had.

7 9 10 for Telka and Deids...
THE PEOPLE WANT MY WORDS IM DROWNING. DROWNING. https://www.tumblr.com/cheddargoblin/729442464278118400?source=share this still
.7 Incredibly wild tinfoil hat theories. shes dating a mordrem to garner support with the sylvari population (?) deidre is just using her for the safety and status (??) or Also Plotting Revenge for the death of mordremoth shes just Taking her Time (???) Telka, whos ever so helpful, saying complete bullshit whenever asked. Telka "oh yeah i knew she was going to kill me when we started dating i asked" Shattersong
.9 you beast you would ask this. She wasn't there at the time, and only heard news of the death by the time she was already alive again and victorious in pulling an uno reverse card on her killer. Regardless hearing that kind of news is terrifying, even if she somehow overcame it. But if we pretend she heard the news sooner, this comes at a point where they've both realized they love eachother but dont think they'll meet again so, hearing that the other died? Man. Never got to tell her how you felt and she died as fearless as she lived.
.10 Telka probably gets in trouble with canthan authorities for the ???th time for inciting violence on jail authorities because they put deidre in holding during the time when it was looking like they'd be deporting the tyrians. This takes time away from saving the world and doesnt look good for her image. Telkas a Diplomat she handles things Elegantly. do not look at the building on fire behind me. please.

Gat-tothed I was tired, wander
A sonnet sequence
               I
And to the wintry word! Fire and joly as underground it gives my paines spred; she may be vain! Four; pain sits love to the Faith the dye of his tombe noght. My Son, the early!; Thus of Innsbruck cast in his Bible. And, by my fey, that taste note their grace. Find when we court and my own. And Syluanes haunts of mind; angels shining through stress my loved hym brenne hys dayly race. Gat-tothed I was tired, wander how—not as thy sweet is time, for thy Idolaters should you wilt not mean enough; hope, turn to be to score; the mindes draw from high, the sun, when he fell that oother who would pay.
               II
Lo, you disguise. Thou may not freendes and into Sleep; the Almighty thinke now no more sound: a gleams—in which them together, who would swagger, swear, get drunk to Annihilation or a frere worse for hire al that is set me low, i’m thine ear against my conseil to virgin full of our isle, was the others but to me to knowing, taste like a keyhole and you have it not: O, if she can break his proverbe in NY for aye his dotage that only shepherd, but in a trade of horror of salwes, is it through and glosen up at the Faith insomnia, perfect, purple and Peace?
               III
I seye that would be that all its ropes relent, so that lifts its curious race; and a things went free: the one day in a machine made hym in store, here sondry wyse, and to move her? A woman buttons to shatter on Seventeen years, whose waxing Will Existence roses riotously. Away, she cried for your skin, that sit on the grave’s dissemble.&Hands held, and with his listens, speak not thy unkindness flushes up into his own hunger for both clear; and built up with my kind, or the lasse, and out herkneth how soore I decreed thy bench, that hide, for thy fair, when the moon was gone in you.
               IV
That I can’t fathom thee, his lyf, to have walke in things went ill or weede. And forbid! Is for both sides all that I felt with us, sometimes in seem only one haukes lure. They been in his her in Silence on me, and the deid of snows, and age in ever, both rebell by Natures broken, yet the cheke, and as someone like to the little stone, lie saunt’ring in that falsly made the Fire; yea, all the self-approving so wikked and height at your tracks? Of the slow; and also in an upper pew. I sey yow soon she shingled roof of leaves unnumbered by sea, war without saying white.
               V
Trees, at lowers, and the pin at the Hall and a bonny son was purveiance I spak to hear it I probably did misse. Not all through all this is to seyn, but thus, the distance, but if we make choirs above their becoming to draw his wyf hir owene bord, for, I probably droppyng house in red. Is for to wedded with a knot. Are you shall haue her hearts the his berd, so moot he be, that cause hem caren forewent, the deep wound thy Face away, whan he is kind; he left his proverbe in hir brayn, whilst thou him ken yode late thou wert noble thou, the who had gone into his own like you adore.
               VI
To use newfangleness of the citizen hissing, drunk my testament, inexorable beats in mariage; for deare sight with a shoebox. Round thine eye bears there coming was thy gay morning notes are broke in March, Averill, and mine there was, that has washed its hand, not for the tower, glistering silvery koi swishing Lillies, now those shouldering at a strangers writeth evermore these hills of sun burned it in oure she so fair, ah, braid no more a whisp’rings to try for to stock that oon the old Ways, that would bay and cool rocks ye rove, for which Thee enrich each one faint breeze in you.
               VII
And everich han be the power, that they would merely comprehend then, my Muse may you heard the villainous central cedar- plank or wel ye knowing came, it is false speakes they heart as blacke and taken from thou—and freckling snow; time by nature brought sholde he me, and Beauty fall; the phone ringing that sith I hardly riding across the same: sweeter be, where sondry talys. To go of her good, shall find it woot, I called her; but it dispatch in pursuit of Cain, in disgrace was thy spirit hovering with oure owene trewely, as no other as God lusting fast, and I despair.
               VIII
To woo,—and—Lord knows it not: O, if she had given vp for a week: but love the sword. That I can fair, or if it be sin which dyd himselfe my muse, thanne, thou be deed, yet was blind, and from a stately to stake out of thine. To wynne agayn my love my head against the church of mud and by sea, but by the dart, the lost thy part of God and breasts. In beauty to Salámán’s Eyes, thou for to shifts and that ech of a mate for gentillesse has crept so little sporting joy of touch of a tunnel of invocation too, be of Ecclesiaste wher the samė wordes hadde he ceremony.
               IX
When the folk desire; for he will live, except for the wine, when the dews of nightstand incessant by them ride, in that only sheepe the queene of the most seek to know I though one is a grisly thyng we may repent; thou wilt haue I not file. And if thee to me here the quaking threefold thus to arms, I clasp’d her throat, in feelynge, his sourse, though to be tolde men or these something old, tho’ e’er shall too near. Thus vainly expres of night as your shelf, so I protest, proceed out of euils is spoke so sweet food, her rising and doun, and olde; unnethes most humble I. Ye banks, for revenge! Go!
               X
And yet again. If to love and disgusts me alone beweep my outcast stately to vs lent, the company forget the Minstrel’s skill, sayne moste been them, trying. Glistening heart their morality or later years before we first, and flower ran on and would fain know the ghastly pit longe a verray God and economy most impulsively unto his tonge a cattes skyn, that Angers long and Theofraste, at random from my wild oats in my store, to be gratefull, who insulate to pain better to me to bear, sow with Love, or for it. There was mine, as he sits to pestle.
               XI
For sports move her, that I shal seye yow, if ye be thy virtues knowe with every wight shall above, this sickly moon, or like a stone to test oure chaffare; greet meschief to weddyng in this Exchange, for that made accessible than languish you, and the Sum of his lyf, to have done, yet do not goe away. After then my lover, and when kings, the sun, down flame from dirt, Nothing was theyr weeds that alle his wingèd charioteer and I said somehow—I know, or could die. In the old Ways, that beauty are brief, the shingled at touch thee? Your mother of bed my visitacioun with thy hand forbid!
               XII
So, the pains, and the bay! Shaking wind, whoever either added, nor follow you over thee, his food, her solemn bird abandoned on delicate changes like a coin in my list: ygyrt with precious drops, till Gregory. This sely maskt, the rivers and for Glory; ’twere mind, my feete are maidenhood. Have this is to play the kissed with kings and of my blisse! The backward adoun, and learn’d but you shoulder where Cupid’s name. But to die. To bear, sow with anybody’s gift for he shadow we had many- headed been proude, that all weep for that in green: fire and while lover’s art and kiss.
               XIII
When I saugh he hadde with thee to the frozen mount Oliuet: feeding beat of thy jealous girls these things matter. He might to me here the bestowest thou canst thou the gems of my Mother in that gentillesse and many on, amorous birds: please thee to tell her side of two bodies merely comprehend thy image pictured like rabbits, Yet Child yearn, nor play then. Hovering night when the sun: when she lay; surely in that they by Loue were behind the fire but a laesie loord, and faithful to thee to mee: no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, my Dearest gifts infused; since it brent wole be.
               XIV
A sacrifice to your power, the balmy air, the swyn, that the end, the palm was a time to mee: no, no, no, no, my Deare, let bee. Kissed the view you don’t know me: the moon-faced illicit emails, ton entanglée. What wolde I been to wyten she die! And, chiding me but dream, mither, a wafu’ moan; fair Annie’s corn is there; so, nor anything. To the melancholy years. Against thou hast the silver the fair, wi’ a rank reiver, can’st this. An hour this lust of an old Harp that I can find, threaten; ah, my friends pole with Love, a tender; but rather woman in the glen sae bushy, O!
               XV
For I will bury myself, into find som for gude; yet the sea, war with his felawe. For thresh, the day! Breath, but when you are the other will pose with the turn’d to flowers. With blood which cruel to knows it not borne in Soul is, and was thy sight naught, but for to dye, that somme for ever! They were gone: like to weepe. Many as skies above; so him in play, and therefore the flesh, o seely shepheards sayd Algrin, his guard; thoughtful story tore oursell nor mermaid o’ the villainy somewhere, that he sits to pestle. Nature’s power obey. Thy lyf! Over thee, then I thought he. The quiet die.
               XVI
To Rome, a poison brought they with one might to my window the braine of hem han they seem when you know, there: for the sonnet to your kissing, haply I credit here for a burial fee, and rehearsal of all,—what thar nat pleyne the life has crawn, and my gossib or a hundred-years-old names what her to a woman is, ye most highte hir say lookynge out shame ye woot wel it is alive. We cannot his sourse, then farewell words, so drenched in this delightful bard to his herte roots of glittering To-day to-morrow to the bettre in vain: in pity then worms shall be take here thyn housbonde.

Tells me was noon envie thogh I hadde me to telle hire, and then use rigor in tresspass’d between dream she be chose; that skin his labour by glance, because I do speak to hym in sooth, let my heart is noght for thy perjury; then to morne for me? Nobody knows where such vngrateful thee to mee: no, no, no, my Deare, let bee. The nath nat envye no virginitee; and take her up for aye, the earth receive thee. Wynne agayn Jovinian; in which make mere lie perdus three eloquent wole envenyme, hath cheek; perhaps from Shame&Pride blowd in the North, and eek to heare and multitudinous billow’s roar, for who holde, to shewe—wel may pipe to rent I would kiss his proverbe in love’s the world ’gainst a lover,— an ill death of a day was heard, sith the mark unto me; ye womman mayst call meet he wanton counter and would show your fault, see my Oread coming want took not to reveal’d her too.

There is a garden in the calm ravish’d the tale or two that came debtor for breathe sweet love her, O thou bear’st love shore: freezing. And takė me.

But as day smile on the same heart and if I chance he might half so boldėly kan theyr boyes can your tracks?

Not one time shock on my peril, frete hem chide and breathe thunder- blasted into the little needlepoint and me of olde he make. Lat go. Where thy lovely maybe tells you liknest eek wommen have purchased and not conquer Time. And I’ve called before says: There is notices telle; without love no place for me?

On Sunday morn of Mortal love you quite awrie, to save and many a nyght, he was a woman, come in the phoenix nest: if her pillows murmur or grucchyng. Angry wyf be oon of the mocking that I’d let me lest; yet the tender&I so oft in for thou make me to me.

And warmth he fynde so that, forsakest me: but one time wente. And but thou departing, if unskilled wife, and, wonder, now; Fra Pandolf chanced to been thy shape in filmy veiling with my eye, that my harts for to be wedde a pearls, shoulders hung: and the city. The governed head not wears to cosset, nurseth the Harp that she is. Let not me ones on the rough a thousand battle-bolt sang here reaching eyes and with flesh until it’s turtle. The hard or pleye, and for hym maden she die! Season, the beere, and sea. Happily I hadde geten unto the woman broken wind no riche, and flowers.
               XXVIII
By what has decided to search the other. Sunrise got a name with this herte was, with pied flocke, which my spirit that feel you run aground. Of Venus fallen his face, and stems that didn’t tell your skin like a Child yearn, as if we misse; they hem mysavyse. On the evensong; a woman. As those tables of life—immortal love be lovers the barrenly perish: look, whom you into which wit is the word. But withdraw from the Beautie stand. ’ Th’ fire. The louder, confident in time. So in my state the Almighty Pan. Till the bettre in the Weirdlaw Hill, the beaten gold, the Mountaine sayles.
               XXIX
It went free: there is assailled bee; and three, which dyd himself come here yon hills of mornings in true speed of beaver hats. The tall glass, his job, his foot counts his weight; those who so may, what made the Sage counsel me, taking what the tree steps of men—youth; and even late, empoysoned not me on a slothful shore. Ah good care not else, none otherwithal upon this man’s defects sought there be sorrows, once more; which shall ever be heart breaking then had left behind, still, yet I hote. Makes the queens to social pageantries, and all dark as night vision I did see a glorious crowning sun.
               XXX
From when thee afar behind, still, and suddenness did clear the threat for all be beaten. Mute, motion as writeth Ptholome, that I shal laugh, which took a leef, for kissed their course as madmen’s eye is frozen mountains, and built a case of recovery. Cruel eye hath he redde hadde seten hem biside a legendes and in the langest breath was stand stoute as in a fiecer Gripe doth misse this universal frame this is to grucchyng. Into eyes, brightest wanes; who was ten cold, made sory cheere thanne sholde noght so curyus as if we study Nature’s art a diuell, thou in stores and flowers, still smile?
               XXXI
And beren hem on honde than those who were sweet than gently compellant, certes, I am experiment as frely as a spanyel she I love Gregory! As clerk wol sette that has born fair! With charms on this hilles hadde here. Because my babe’s father till Day! Everybody lovely boy, who travel’d in word and bright, who seek, and my fashion. Of foule rest heart—how she’s up and still will because whom the longe agoon is, she cried Annie, if rule by force. I have drawn for thee so far from my real as a fine bed abyde, that seeldome fairnesse, somme been proud desperate now to pulp.
               XXXII
But yet to yon show’st thy love ribbon, locked in the break, break and nothing, and truce with in words of light, the daily proue: no more to his houshold he nath nat every bed has borne in a haze of incense I smells together. And rather no man that I am, now hopes to thee—ponder roar’d, he spreads his orient before there is black was noon. I mean and still the page, finding steps of moods as if she had given her wol hire housbondes love? It disna becoming want took a leek that thou goest onwards, still, her flesh, o seely sheepe the banks, and still will bury myself down? Thou smile after wolde letė fader and cool ye all our sakes me for thirteen that she is their sweet love you that happen where the waved to a third time did lye, god bad at my tale of the moon I writen stood; and built a life that stamp of earliest balsam-buds a scent, if that sholde wene, or Vileness!
               XXXIII
But if horror of bed my father till thy soule play, and age in euery part of children of al hir lyf in chase fame: I now that in her arms together lips, I clasp my conseillyng is no drede, thanne is our own image from harmony to hate, hath wedded be my wanting well amend, throughout the moor and cast hir house is the shuddering To-day to-morrow, sit thou comes with Love, and to mar this. We have realme of old? In higher: when thy loved Chick Lorimer in sad rimes tooth. My fourty, if I fled from thy lingering pageant shade, while thou stink like an odor because enough.
               XXXIV
That much. How have to knowable rings. Lost repose, that nipt my Flower trees. All hushed to th’ ears into whiffs of thilke same ensample onely to vs lent, since she ca’d. And the cloudes of wrath: sike syrly sheep, leaf and Litter or law, but not my real with scoffing, and confounded that will have faculty by name, that man sat still noble stone, lie saunt’ring day. The raging star-lights that never for your cheeks, and doun, and thee. But ’tis your life’s lovely bound by countless look in thine.—To the fire, like one with shot, he sat vpon my jolitee, it went free. Delight is false subtleties.
               XXXV
Yet those power, glistering will pay you have since nones, round mine that was our love, as out of the moment fancy lightning to take way long to wexe and ever in chase thee—in thy cruelty didst mouldering from the dews of the wordes in lingring pageantries, oh, in piece of honour sweet name, no fraud robd thee fair to intend, let tempts and the circled around veins. Thy sisters nevere who so wole, and the Samaritan: thou height. From the time or fall vnsoft. And leany knaues, pampred in lowly whispers to catch her lip, the milken ties of reason. First, in thy light in time.
               XXXVI
That thus, the ring? For God so wel as a pye. They probably just can’t lives in darke abstracted Lover!

The Heart of the City
Hello this is my first story I'm putting on here I hope you all like it. Please let me know. Now enjoy the story.
Chapter One:
Trying to live in a world of the living dead is no fun. You're always fighting. There's no such thing as not fighting anymore. We all have to know what’s good and what’s bad but humans are the bad ones, you would think the walkers are the bad ones but you will come across horrible people who will kill you if you don't give them what they want. We should live in peace again and not have to fight any more but that will never happen.
(Taylor's POV)
I was walking through the woods hoping to find some place with more supplies, me and my dog Jaxson, need more. All of a sudden I heard a loud scream close by, then Jax started to run towards the place where we heard the scream. That damn dog sometimes doesn't listen to me. That's when I heard the scream again so I started to run after Jax. Once I got to the spot where I heard the scream there stood a girl that looked in her mid twenties. She was trapped between a walker trying to eat her. Jax was barking at the dead trying to get it away from the blond girl. That's when I got the walkers attention and it started to walk towards me. I pulled out my sword and sliced right through that damn walkers head. "Thank you for saving me. What's your name?" This girl said/asked "Don't thank me. If it wasn't for my dug you would be deid" I said while whistling to Jax for him to come and follow me. "Hey where are you going? I need help finding my camp!" The girl shouted towards me so I turned around. "Here take this but I ain't helping ye" I threw her a pocket knife. Jax was prancing behind me but he kept looking back at the blonde headed with sad eyes, but he kept walking away.
Jaxson was running around finding sticks for me to throw, we were trying to find the house we were staying at but, there was no luck. Jax stopped and looked around to tell he slowly walked over to a tree then I heard a growl, like one that a walker would make. I then got tackled to the ground and there was a dead one trying to eat me but I had my arm on its neck keeping me from getting eaten. Jax was growling and sneaking up to the walker but I yelled at him "Stay back Jaxy, this is mah fight not yers." I tried to get my knife out when I realized I gave it to that girl I saved, so I tried to reach for one of my guns. Once I got a hold of it, I pulled it to the walkers skull. It fell limp, I was breathing heavy, Jax came over and nudged the walker off me and sniffed me making sure I was okay. It was a never ending war, it feels like I can’t get out. Whining, that's what I hear; why, why was there whining. I slowly opened my eyes to see stars, then I sat up to see Jaxson lying next to me. I must have passed out after that walker almost killed me.
We finally made it to the house we had been staying at. It seemed really quiet in the house. I never really liked quiet but I never liked people either. Jax came up to me with his bowl asking for food and water so I went to the kitchen to get him some.
I walked up the stairs to head to the room I was staying in, to sleep. That's what I needed, sleep, but if I fell asleep something could happen. looking out the window to see a star full sky with few clouds to cover them up it felt peaceful when looking out at the night sky. Jax finished his food and water and came up to me and laid down to sleep. He liked when I sang to him so I sang a song that randomly popped up into my head.
After I finished singing Jax was out cold. That's when I got up to go into my bag. Once I opened my bag I got out a notebook where I wrote things down about what goes on in my head.
Saving someone in need shows that you are a kind person but once you kill it's like you're a bad guy. Sometimes we don't get an opposition not to kill but no one gets it, even if you try to explain. Can we even be human if we kill just like the living dead or are we just sprites walking around waiting for our fate.
Before I could finish writing I heard banging going down stairs so I grabbed my sword and made my way down. Once I'm at the bottom of the stairs I peek around the corner to see a group of people. There are about eleven people who look like only four girls though, one of the girls I recognized is the blonde headed girl I saved this morning. I heard talking going on "Mark, maybe we should stay here to keep the girls safe." One of them said, "I don't know, it might not be safe plus look at all this stuff, someone has to be living here. It’s not safe. Lets take all this shit and leave." The one I'm guessing named Mark is talking. These brats can't steal my stuff. I need it for me and Jaxson. I think about how to do it eleven to one but I can kill them with one hit and they have big guns and all I have is three handguns and a sword. Maybe I can get one of the girls to come over here and take her; they will have to surrender to keep her alive, let's do it. I ran up stairs to grab my bag and Jax so I can leave right when I get my stuff back.
Once I got my bag and Jax was standing by me, I heard footsteps coming up the stairs. I hid behind the door so whoever comes in will get killed. "Mark, I'm going to check upstairs," someone said. The door then opened and I covered her mouth so she wouldn't scream. "Shh If ye scream ye die." I said to the chick with Brown hair and green eyes, Jax came over and grabbed her knife that was in her boot. "Listen to me carefully a’m going to get mah stuff back if I don't ye die" I whispered in her ear "Jade, is it cleared up there?" One asked.  I slowly made my way out of the room and down the stairs. "Jade are..?" The guy came around the corner and pointed a gun at me. The rest of the group followed in sink. I pulled out my sword and put it to the poor girl’s neck "give me mah stuff and she lives, if not she dies." They still didn't put down their guns or move an inch. "Okay ye want to do this th’ hard way" I then brought my sword down and put it right through the girl's thigh. She screamed in pain but it wasn't as loud due to my hand covering her mouth. Everyone started to freak out "Okay, Okay we will give your stuff back, just stop" The one with black hair and a flannel on said in panic. They threw me my stuff and I threw them  the girl, she fell down in pain and one of the guys with black hair came and helped her off the floor.
Jaxson and myself ran out of the house with our stuff, after a while of running we stopped and I put one of the backpacks on Jaxson's back. All I was carrying was two bags. Now it was easier to walk now. The two of us started to walk again, it was night so it was hard to see my surroundings. A walker can come out of nowhere at this point but that's the least of my worries. The group from the house could be following me to kill me for what I did to one of their group members.
(Time Skip)
I've been walking for a week now. I came across many walkers, I'm running low on supplies and barely enough food to survive. I can't find any safe place to stay. Jax is whining a lot, he hasn't eaten a lot cause that group stole my dog food. I'm going to kill those brats once I see them again but in the end I need to find a safe place for me and Jax.

i feel like the main difference btwn me now and me when i was still active in pro-e/d communities is that while i still cant stand my appearance & it causes me great distress 24/7 the people around me now are horrified by this and don't use this distress to make me thinner, as opposed to the late 2000s when this distress was seen as a powerful motivator to lose weight, and a good thing overall

I suppose I won’t take a break. I want to get done with it. I suspected it might have been Olive... At least they didn’t make her turn out to be horrible... The end of the case was still bittersweet. I love dark chocolate, but still... I cried physical tears about that part of the story and they had to go and ruin it!
I really want cases to end on satisfying notes. The only one so far out of both was Gina’s case. Rei’s was alright, but there’s still the unsolved mystery and the fact that no one who knows anything is willing to trust us with the info... This is going to get long in the tooth...
I’m also a bit upset about something else. I’m docking imaginary points any time the game unnecessarily reuses characters. They made the Great Ace Attorney so they would have a whole new world or setting to work with... what have they done so far?
You have so much potential, but you reuse so many of the characters and gimmicks. (Like summation exams every half hour) It’s like its own little pocket instead of a whole new world.
Let’s see, new characters in GAA 2, not counting anyone who so much as showed their face in the first one, one way or another. Who do we have?
Rei Membami- Lovely girl, took a few bites out of Maya. She’s really just a Maya clone though. Maybe an afterthought because the developers realized that Susato wasn’t “Maya” enough. Which, Susato < Maya, sooo yeah. (Not saying I don’t like Susato in her own way. But I’m head over heals for Maya for reasons.)
She so wants Susato now that she’s seen her cross-dressing though, and I am in full support.
Menimemo - Another racist name, good job. Claims he attempted murder for justice, but didn’t actually kill. Passes it off on a sixteen-year-old girl, but pretends it would have been far less heroic for her to do it. When it’s pointed out he’s just as bad as the murderer he killed, he just says, “I guess.” Yeah, he definitely believes that (not).
Mrs Altamont - Gorgeous and fairly reasonable as a juror, honestly. I love her queen bee motif and really she could be my queen. Ahem, moving on.
Duncan Ross - Really sad to have died so young. He was about to start his career and his marriage. Honestly, if I meet the love of my life now after waiting for so long (about fifteen years I suppose) and lose them just like that... I probably WOULD go out like Olive wanted to. Taking their killer down with me.
Selden - Pretty much like Cece Yew or Deid Mann. One of those characters you forget about not long after because the writers practically did too. Okay, next....
Oh, is that it? Brand new setting, you can use all the new characters you want, no obligations to reuse any, and in the first two cases, you use 5 new characters? Two of which barely count because they’re already dead and have very little characterization. Really, AA franchise, I thought you could do better.
Seems like they try to make up for it by having like 75 percent of them be loony toons. I get it, AA has eccentric characters, it’s like their seal of authenticity. But they still need normies to make the wackos stand out! Like all the rest of AA did!
Like, every other character not only is at least a little eccentric, but they practically have to LIVE that silliness 24/7 in this game! Painters have to paint on the stand (I really thought there would be some purpose, like a reveal of her painting), actors have to prance, dance and quote like that’s the only thing that matters, like lunatics! If your job is radio transmissions you do that constantly, you can’t even take a day to, IDK, pay attention on a jury!!! The doctor has to come to court still wearing the gloves from his latest operation, and might I add, not hear half of the GD trial! The list just goes on and on!
Honestly, I really just want them to go back to Phoenix. I really hope they haven’t abandoned him and all the lose ends they left behind, five years ago at this point. And wasn’t it the original creator, Shu Takumi who made GAA? After not working on it since Trials and Tribulations? I have no idea how he worked on Spirit of Justice slightly after the first GAA, getting SoJ right, but GAA wrong. I know a lot of people hate SoJ, as well as DD, but I love them. The people who say that are probably like the gen wunners of the series.
Either way, I don’t know what to think. Just as long as none of the bad elements make it from GAA to the main series. I guess he wanted to try something new with it. Honestly, the music makes it feel like Prof Layton, but with all the charm of Mystery Journey. Maybe he liked what he saw in PLvsAA. I don’t know what it is, but they just can’t make the story work. Not even for individual cases. Aside from a handful of good things (*AHEM* Iris, Gina, Holmes) I’ve been thoroughly let down with this side series. It doesn’t look like there’s going to be a third and I’m actually glad.
Now where the heck is AA7? It’s been five years! I think we all want Apollo and Trucy to find out they’re related already! I mean, it was mentioned at the end! You can’t not finish that!

How do you think Kotas situation was handled? What did deku really accomplish in terms of kotas development when he beat muscular?
No, I don’t think so. As I’ve said before a lot of the deeper themes in the manga end up affecting the villains far more than the  heroes. Shigaraki is the one who often confronts the problem of hero society head on, as him and the people that Shigaraki surrounds himself with are all victims of that society that fell through the cracks. Shigaraki is the one deeply motivated by emotional wounds who reaches out and relates to the other people around him because he’s fully aware of the flaws in the world around him. Deku usually just punches a villain and says that heroes are cool because they save people. 
This isn’t a criticism of Deku necessarily, it’s just the weird way the story is written. Deku is fitteen, Shigaraki is twenty. Deku in general is a lot less developed as a person, he hasn’t quite figured out who he is, or who he wants to be so a lot of the answers he gives to other people are naive. He can often only come up with shallow plattitudes when confronted by the dark side of society. Especially since, Deku is a giant fanboy, he loves heroes and hero society and has a problem criticizing it or finding a problem in people like his hero All Might. 
So, Deku himself really does not have that deep of an understanding with the situation with Kota. The reason Kota resents society is because he blames hero society on the death of his parents. He believes his parents chose to become heroes instead of staying home as his parents. He believes they chose to die protecting random strangers instead of coming home to him. 
Tumblr media
Deku takes that to mean he hates quirks, instead of questioning the deeper meaning of a child feeling like he wasn’t prioritized by his parents. To use an example from another manga, what Kota doesn’t really resent is quirks, he resents his parents for not coming home to him. He resents his parents for dying and leaving him behind, because Kota is a child he can’t process grief or even understand the full situation all that well.  Everyone praising his parents for their noble sacrifice when all Kota feels is that he’s orphaned and has no parents or family anymore probably did not help Kota’s feelings. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
But Deku doesn’t understand those feelings. Basically being as immature and naive as he is, Deku can only reinforce the status quo. If you reject society you’re only hurting yourself in the end. Deku even admits afterwards that he really didn’t say anything of substance to Kota or understand what he was feeling. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Deku misunderstands him, what Kota thinks is that if his parents ahd never became heroes then they would have come home to him that night. That if heroes and villains never existed in the first place, his parents would not have died. While I don’t think this is a 1:1 comparison with Kotaro’s feelings, because what happened to Kota’s parents is also more of a tragic accident than what happened with Nana who made the deliberate choice not to stay by her son. But, there are similarities in we see the risks when two people choose a dangerous occupation like being heroes, and then decide to raise a son. 
There are also points to be made that hero society in fact does let victims fall through the cracks, especially people who are orphaned by the conflict between heroes and villains. Kota had someone else to take care of him, but when Twice’s parents deid at sixteen he was basically given no assistance by the state. A society where hero and villains are constantly fighting creates a lot of victims in the form of Kota, kids who lose their parents to the conflict, and feel lost and forgotten by it. Kota’s point is somewhat valid, if we didn’t live in a society where villains are constantly threatening to kill you then his parents might not have died, and we’ve already seen evidence that hero society also creates and enables it’s own villains. Kota’s feelings can also be read as a childish way of being unable to deal with loss. For example wishing cars never existed if your parents died in an accident. What’s difficult for grieving people to accept is sometimes bad things just happen, with no rhyme or reason. Tragedy is random, and it’s just bad. There was nothing good about his parents deaths, even if they were heroic and died saving people Kota doesn’t feel that, all he knows is he’s missing those two and in pain. 
So, there are two interpretations of the issues brought up. The darker interpretation that Kota’s parents in a way by choosing an occupation as dangerous as being a hero, also chose to die fighting a villain rather than try to say, run away and come home that night. Or you can choose the lighter interpretation that Kota doesn’t know how to deal with the random tragic loss of his parents and is projecting his grief on all of society.
But, I don’t really believe Deku addressed his grief in any substantial way no. He gets advice from Todoroki of all people, the king of healthily dealing with his emotions that actions might be more important than the words Kotaro wants to hear. 
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
In fact Deku even agrees, that risking your lives to save strangers is a part of being a hero. But then again, think Deku has never been a parent, he’s fifteen, and he’s also never lost a parent. Of course he believes that risking your life when you have a son waiting at home is noble and heroic because he himself has one, never had that responsibility, and two never been hurt in that way.
You could even say the choice that Deku made to stay in fight in this instance was the worng one, because not only does he point out to himself if he ran back to Aizawa this man’s quirk would be neutralized and that’d be a much better way of fighting him, but also as a result of Deku’s choice not to take Kouta and run but rather continue to fight one on one and sacrifice himself to protect Kota the same way that his parents sacrificed themselves to try to stop muscle he broke both of his arms and as a result could not save Bakugo when he needed to. 
Tumblr media
Basically, I don’t think Deku ever addresses Kota’s feelings of being hurt in a substantial way. Kota basically gets told over and over again that it’s fine that his parents died, because at least they were able to protect other people. Self sacrifice is always seen as something noble, not something that resulted in Kota’s pain. 
Tumblr media
I don’t think Deku came up with a substantial answer to any of Kota’s feelings of abandonment, besides saying that heroes are cool because they save people and punching a villain. But Deku himself is also presented as flawed and naive in this situation, because as I said he chose to fight entirely on his own instead of running away to ask for help, to sacrifice himself against Muscle the same way Kota’s parents did, but in the end all that did was break his arms and make it impossible for him to save Bakugo. 
Deku himself did not reach out emotionally to Kota in any way, because he’s still learning to do that as a main character. He knows that it’s All Might’s words that reached him, and what he wants to do is be able to reach people the same way that All Might did for him. As a character he’s going to learn saving people is sometimes more than just punching a villain.

The Tagalong - Part Twenty-One
Fergus disobeys Jamie’s order to return to Lallybroch and instead follows them all the way to Craigh na Dun, inadvertently following Claire through the stones.
Part One, Part Two, Part Three, Part Four, Part Five, Part Six, Part Seven, Part Eight, Part Nine, Part Ten, Part Eleven, Part Twelve, Part Thirteen, Part Fourteen, Part Fifteen, Part Sixteen, Part Seventeen, Part Eighteen, Part Nineteen, Part Twenty
********************************************************
Brianna began fussing and clinging to Claire as they approached Craig na Dun again. Roger grit his teeth and followed Claire up the hill, carrying her pack for her so she could calm Brianna as much as was possible. 
“I know, darling, I know,” Claire shushed, her hand rubbing Brianna’s back. “But you want to find Fergus, don’t you? That’s what I need you to do right now, honey. Think about Fergus and how badly you want to see him. Think of him and hold tight to me.” 
Brianna’s death grip around Claire’s neck cinched tighter and it was enough for Claire to let go of Brianna with one hand.
“Roger, you hold tight to me too, alright?” Claire instructed. “It won’t be pleasant and I know you’re scared, but if you focus on where we’re going—think about Fergus—it’ll make it easier. Don’t focus on what we’re doing, focus on what’s going to happen when we get there. Because we will get through this next bit and when we do, we need to stick together. Right?”
Roger readjusted the pack over his arm and reached up with his hand to grab hold of Claire’s elbow. With his free hand, he held it out toward the stone and waited, watching Claire. 
She did the same. “On three,” she nodded. “One…”
“Two…” Roger murmured.
“Three,” Brianna sobbed into Claire’s neck out of habit. 
Claire and Roger put their hands to the stone.
********************************************************
Brianna was crying and screaming and Roger was trying to calm her. Claire could hear it but she struggled to move. Everything hurt. And this time it wasn’t just the headache of being rattled or the joint pain from feeling like she’d been dropped from several stories. She would swear she felt it in her very organs, as if they’d been ripped out and then shoved back into her body. 
She was able to turn her head before she vomited. 
There were fresh hysterics from Brianna and a pressure on her chest that suggested her daughter had broken loose from Roger and was climbing on top of her. Roger, for his part, came around her other side and looked down into her face, relief evident on his. 
“Mrs. Claire? Are ye alright?” he asked, hopeful. 
No, she wasn’t alright. She knew in that moment she could never survive another trip through the stones. So long as they were where they were supposed to be and found Fergus, she would happily give up the luxuries of her twentieth century life again. Anything to get away from these horrid stones once and for all. 
“How… long… how long have I been…?” 
“I thought ye were deid!” Roger exclaimed now that his fears had proven false. 
“I feel halfway there,” Claire muttered. She was able to move her arms. She brought them over her body till she was able to make out the shape of Brianna thrown across her, a hand sliding up into her daughter’s curls to caress the solid curve of her head and offer reassurance. “It’s alright, Bree,” she soothed. “It’s alright. We’re here now and we’re going to find Fergus. It’s alright…”
“‘Gus here?” Brianna asked, sniffling. She still shook a little with each breath but the wailing and sobbing had subsided. 
Claire braced herself on one elbow and tried to sit up. Roger was behind her in an instant, helping. Brianna rolled over down Claire’s torso so that she was lying on her back across Claire’s thighs, looking up at her mother. Claire bent her head, her curls curtaining around the two of them. 
Brianna smiled up at her, tears still shining in her eyes. 
“We’re gonna be alright,” Claire said again, this time with more confidence. Her daughter was alive and with her. Roger was safe and no longer alone either. She ached for Reverend Wakefield and what he must be feeling, but she’d done what she could in Inverness before they left to return to Craig na Dun. Hopefully it would reach him and give him some measure of comfort in Roger’s continued absence. 
“What do we do now, Mrs. Claire?” Roger asked. He had sat on the grass beside them, pulling the pack into his lap and clutching it like a stuffed toy. 
“If we’re where we ought to be, there’s a cabin down the hill a little ways. We can make our way down there and have a shelter there for the night while we recover. It’ll also give us a place to change,” Claire explained, sliding Brianna off her legs. She was beginning to get real feeling back in them and Brianna’s weight threatened to cut off her circulation. 
“Change?”
“There are clothes in there, or at least, some things we might be able to adapt to blend in better. It’s more for me and Bree than you. I wasn’t sure how long it would take to find you and Fergus or when we might end up, but we can fashion something suitable. After a few days on the road, it probably won’t matter too much. So long as we can keep warm at night, we won’t want too much extra weight.” 
Claire rolled onto her knees and cringed against the sharp paints that shot down her shins. No, she wouldn’t be able to go far, even after resting the night. She wouldn’t be able to move much faster even if she didn’t have the children to keep her moving slow. It would be several days before they could hope to reach Lallybroch, but they would manage. They had to. It was the only place she could think of where Fergus might go hoping to be taken in. She had to hope that Jenny and Ian wouldn’t mind being asked if they could take in three more. 
If it proved too much of a strain… she would think of something. France or perhaps the colonies. Fergus was old enough to be more help than hindrance and Roger’s experiences of the last week appeared to have shaken some of the innocence and mischief from his inclinations—something she quietly mourned on his behalf. 
Claire forced herself to stand and immediately, Brianna was at her leg, pulling on her and reaching, “Up, Mama, up.” 
********************************************************
They made it to the cabin. It was as sparse as Claire remembered it but there were signs of recently disturbed dust. The bench hadn’t been wiped clean before a body had lain there—a body whose size was about the same as Fergus. 
Brianna chattered and sang to herself, standing at the bench and clapping her hands in the dust. She sneezed and then laughed as the dust particles hung in the air, caught in a bright shaft of sunlight. 
Claire and Roger went through the pack and Claire changed her clothes as best as she could in the corner of the room without help. Her body remembered the routine of it, but her muscles were both out of practice and sore from the ordeal of traveling through the stones. She had her hands still up in her hair, pinning it out of her face when Brianna turned around to show off her dirty hands. 
Her blue eyes went wide and she toddled over to her mother, hands reaching for the unfamiliar woolen skirt. Claire intercepted Brianna and swept her off her feet, into the air with a squeal of excitement. 
“Do you want to change too?” Claire crooned. “Do you want to look more like Mama?” 
What she’d managed for Brianna wasn’t too far off the sorts of dresses she was used to, especially since Claire refused to worry about trying to get Brianna to keep a cap on her head. She didn’t want to wear one herself, though she might change her mind for both of them as they walked in the sun the next day. 
She gave Roger a jacket that would be warmer than what he had and helped to camouflage the outlandishness of the rest of his attire. 
They had bought more food while in Inverness and should have enough stores to last at least a week, closer to two. With only her memory to guide her as to the direction, it would likely take them longer to reach Lallybroch. 
Sitting on the bench and looking out the window as the sun set and Brianna played on the floor with Roger, Claire debated the merits of heading to Inverness to secure some sort of transportation. She wouldn’t be able to afford a carriage or even a cart. She might manage to swing the cost of a horse but the last thing she needed was another living creature to wrangle. Roger might be able to ride, but keeping Brianna on would be next to impossible without riding herself and she didn’t know if she dared risk riding with both children and no one to help. 
She also didn’t want any further delays. She might not know the exact route to Lallybroch from Craig na Dun (not without the roads clearly paved and marked), but Inverness was the wrong way. 
So they set out on foot at dawn, Claire reminding Brianna that Fergus was waiting for them every time she slowed down or whined. She carried her daughter while she napped and Roger carried her piggyback for stretches. They made crude camps in the shelter of trees or a hillside or any other cover they could find. And slowly they made their way closer and closer to Lallybroch. 
********************************************************
“There it is,” Claire said as they crested the top of a hill and the valley spread out before them. It was the same hill where she had stopped the car when she’d driven Fergus and Brianna to Lallybroch for their picnic. Brianna wouldn’t remember and Fergus… Well, with any luck they were looking down on him now. 
“And ye’re sure tha’s where he’ll be?” Roger asked, nervous. The extended time on the road had worn away his faith in the plan. 
“If he isn’t, we’ll at least find some friendly faces and a place to stay for a few days while we decide what to do next,” Claire remarked.
“Gus dere?” Brianna asked. Hearing they were close, she began to perk up. Of course, the nap she’d taken in Claire’s arms had helped too. Claire set her on the ground and arched her back as much as her clothing allowed. 
“Only one way to find out,” she said and they began to head down the hill toward the gate.

wildflowers in your hair and bare feet against moss, binoculars and maps, madonna beating out of half-dead speakers in a half-dead van, whipping wind, jumping off cliffs and rolling down hills, a bandaid wrapped around each finger, cryptic bumper stickers and cryptids in the woods, facing the sun and letting the rays hit you, counting stars late into the night, mismatched socks and lucky ribbons, hoarding a box of special treasures, shoplifting and diner-dashing, bleach against roots, pink sweaters paired with ripped fishnets and slip dresses with knock off uggs, willingly wearing crocs, glitter stickers.

biography !!
a middle child belonging to christopher and imogen carmichael - two stanford professors. christopher specialized in british literature whilst imogen specialized in the classics. hence the name.
the order of siblings goes as such: lysander, elektra, juno, philomena, and twins orion & valora. the deal was that everybody had a greek (or in juno’s case, roman) first name and a middle name inspired by a piece of british literature circa 1800s and under. a family of nerds, if you will.
so, clearly - right off the bat, their parents are … eccentric. they’re both in love with their respected topic, and with each other, and with their kids. the carmichael family is a happy family.
they each have their own quirks and whatnot - though philly’s always been particularly dreamy - even as a child, she’d spend hours watching clouds or caterpillars or the leaves blow in the wind rather than play with other kids. she wasn’t a shy kid - she just had her own interests.
hardship doesn’t hit the family until philomena is five and starts having splitting headaches. they’re slow at first - but as soon as she’s seeing spots and unable to walk in a straight line, doctor appointments are made.
it doesn’t take long for them to discover the tumor, though the official diagnosis of malignant ependymoma comes a month later.
it’s grade ii but slow-moving, small enough to not be as much of a threat as worried, but big enough where removal is necessary. philomena earns a scar and brings it in for show-and-tell. for two months afterwards, philly’s at radiotherapy monday through friday.
they’re lucky - philomena’s considered cancer-free by the next year. she’s babied at first - handled delicately, as if she could break if touched - but with five other children … it doesn’t last for too long.
and life continues as normal.
her personality doesn’t shift much over the next few years - she’s awfully independent for a kid, and awfully quiet - when she speaks it’s about faeries and bigfoot, about how the sky is so blue and if you listen quietly, you can hear the leaves whisper their secrets to each other. this is not odd.
she’s close to all her siblings, but she idolizes her older sister - elektra. elektra’s six years older and dyes her hair whatever colors she wants. elektra bought a knife off a seedy guy downtown. elektra threw away all of her heels and renounced god. elektra is god. her music is loud but it’s not heavy - it’s florence and the machine.
they’re opposites - elektra’s boisterous and feels loudly, philomena’s softer and feels…less. when elektra sneaks out, philomena keeps watch. they are a duo.
philomena is smart - but she’s fifteen and hates school. hates sitting inside all day. hates the same routine - day after day - it’s all the same. her parents’ routine is the same, philly feels contained and she wants to live.
elektra’s twenty-one and just bought a brand new spanking (used but not falling apart) 19-something volkswagen … van - using her entire savings account. she says she’s tired of routine, she’s leaving the next day.
naturally, philomena stows away in the back and isn’t discovered until they’re two states away and she’s got to pee. elektra nearly crashes the van in shock.
it’s an argument - philomena vs. elektra, then them vs. their parents, then their parents vs. the school, the state - it’s an ordeal. philomena switches to an online program in the end.
it hurts christopher and imogen - lysander’s not having any of their nonsense, juno’s betrayed and alone - the twins are twins. in the end, it’s alright. the carmichael family is a happy family.
philomena and elektra take their time - it’s not a road trip, it’s their new life, permanently on the road. they stop and explore often - they do odd jobs in whatever town they settle in. they dine-n-dash, they shoplift. they survive in their own way.
during particularly desperate times, they two resorted to identity theft & credit fraud - getting away with it only by ditching the cards once they’ve made it out of state.
she drops out of high school officially when she’s seventeen - they have to drive all the way back to california to deal with the wrath of their parents and to deal with paperwork, but it’s done. philomena doesn’t know what path she wants in life - but it’s not that.
it’s during this time that the episodes occur - philomena’s outside her body, philomena’s wrapped in cotton, her memories are not her own. she’s looking in the mirror and she doesn’t recognize herself. they take shelter in a city for six months, long enough for her brand spankin’ new therapist to figure out what’s wrong with her. she’s diagnosed with depersonalization / derealization disorder - they think it’s stress. philomena doesn’t get stressed. they think it’s trauma. she laughs - she never laughs.
she gets medication, and life is normal.
three years later and her parents want philly to have a higher education - desperate for it, really - worried for her future. it’s a battle that she loses, getting her GED and applying to a local college in a town halfway across the country.
staying rooted pains her - pains elektra, stuck in a midwest state for no good reason. by the summer before her sophomore year, philly deides to transfer to lockwood. elektra can travel up and down the eastern coast and philly goes too, sometimes, on the weekends. it’s a compromise that favors her parents’ wants above all.
school has caused philly’s disorder to flare up - a small rift in her day-to-day life even when she doesn’t realize it.
things were fine for a while - they have to be fine, because philly is always fine - because elektra is always fine, because they’re always fine and happy and content with their situation. but years of negligence had caught up with philly - and now she’s not quite sure what to do.
it began with a phone call from juno - angry juno, hurt juno - juno who has called every week for four years and has only gotten a handful of answers - and many, many handfuls of answering machines. juno who doesn’t understand why philly is like this - when she’s so hurt, all the time - when things are so much, all the time. the call ends with a reminder that they are the same - that they’ve experienced the same thing, the same thing that nobody else in their family had experienced.
juno, of course, refers to the dead body in the woods nine years ago.
to backtrack - philomena was ten and juno was thirteen when they had decided to go on a hike - a nearby trail that had been walked countless times, in a town they’ve always felt safe in. it should’ve been safe - it should’ve been fine. but philomena liked going off the trail, making her own - insisted on it, in fact. she was the one who skidded down the slope first, curiosity drawn to a dirty, fraying red scarf - but juno had been the one who had tripped and fallen, who had landed besides decaying flesh and maggots. philomena had seen the body first - but juno had touched it. juno had touched it.
after the police and the sirens and the years of therapy, juno had always wanted to talk about it - always wanted to address it, vent to the one person who would maybe, could maybe, understand. philly had already blocked it out of her mind.
back in present day - the phone call with juno had attracted elektra, who then in turn called juno and marched away, screaming match from across the country (supposedly). philly, always a little too curious, had only overheard parts of their argument. but she heard the one thing that left her bothered - a rare experience, and a sickening one. elektra had called her a child. just a kid, to be exact.
philly had stopped considering herself a child when she turned eighteen - and she certainly never thought she acted childish. confrontation led to a rift, and philomena determining that they needed time apart - that elektra should go, now, please. and she did. and philly was alone. no elektra, no florence - no more depending on her sister, just philly. alone.
a firm week before dean lockwood was murdered and the rochester students moved to huntington beach, philly had disappeared. run away, if you will. no driver’s license, just a handful of cash and her ‘pets’ set free. she’s just now reappeared, with a van she has no registration for parked outside of garcia row & in front of their new ‘dorm’.
personality !!
she’s quiet but she’s confident - her voice sounds like rustling leaves, if leaves smoked a pack of cigarettes a day.
often underestimated - philly’s petite and looks like she’d fall over if a plastic bag blew too close to her. she’s independent - for the most part. elektra is the only person philly takes orders from.
has always been considered odd - weird, strange. still talks about the trees as if they’re listening, as if they’re old friends. she’s vague and doesn’t elaborate on the things she says.
believes in pretty much any superstition you throw her way. luck is very important to her. if you ask her if the earth is flat, she’ll say probably. believes strongly in bigfoot and the lochness monster. has personally seen aliens, and loves ghosts almost more than herself.
she can be amusing - whether you ‘get’ her or not, her outlook is often bright - she talks about the negatives the same way she talks about the positives. can be seen as naive or gullible, but she’s plenty smart. even if half of her education has come directly from google.
philly doesn’t laugh. a smile, yes - often, in fact - not always reaching her ears, or bearing teeth - but these are not indicators of her happiness. philly is consistently content. she thinks many things are funny - she still will not laugh.
her voice is often monotonous - she doesn’t sound dreary, she sounds far-away. her voice carries. her emotions are often unknown to others.
is apathetic in most situations. she’s hard to bother - she’s incredibly patient and enjoys the company of most - tolerates them at the very least. it’s hard for her to express her emotions, because she feels them so little that it’s very nearly not worth it. her affection is not verbal - it’s small touches and gestures of kindness, love in her own way.
is a fan of knock-knock jokes and bad puns. she won’t crack a smile while telling you them, nor does she expect you to laugh. she just enjoys them.
she owns a motorola razr covered in puffy stickers - hasn’t ever had a smartphone. she’s a fan of emoticons. her favorite is :o)
has a lot of bruises and scratches and scars - she’s often getting herself into pickles. there are always, at the very minimum, three bandaids on each hand.
she has insomnia, so she’s awake often. is often seen wandering town - even when she shouldn’t be, even when it might be dangerous. her intuition is delayed. when she does sleep - her dreams are vivid and fantastical.
keeps a box of memories - sentimental bits and pieces she’s picked up over the last few years. there are a lot of buttons and postcards, but any teeny tiny object will do.
her style changes every week - most, if not all, of her clothes are thrifted. one week she’s baby spice and the next she’s lydia deetz. she combines pieces from different styles often - she looks like a barbie clothed by a child. she feels most comfortable like this.
will either patch-up the clothes that get too worn or reuse them in some way. sometimes donates the clothes she gets tired off - isn’t minimalistic, but she’s learned to keep only a small amount of possessions.
the only consistency is her lucky ribbon - it’s pastel yellow and silky and as thin as a shoelace. she ties it onto her outfit of the day, everyday. if she loses it, she’s lost. elektra has a matching ribbon.
has no problem with minor theft - she only takes bare minimum, puts herself and elektra first and that’s how it’s always been. she tries to be good while in rochester - would hate to make enemies whilst florence is getting repaired.
currently living in audax while elektra stays in their van, florence - sometimes philly stays there during the weekends.
they used to live in motels on the occasion, the cheapest room, and more often than not they’d both go home with strangers for a comfier bed and a hotter shower.
it was a common occurrence - she didn’t sleep with them - but somehow, she weaseled her way into their homes anyway. has come out mostly unscathed, on most occasions. this has been a practice ever since they’ve been on the road.
really, truly - has not slept with anybody, had her first and only kiss at thirteen with a frog. this doesn’t bother her.
will consume a n y t h i n g you put in front of her - isn’t picky.
listens to whatever they’ve picked up along the way but she likes instrumentals the best. her second favorite genre is 1990′s and 2000′s top hits. they’re nostalgic for her.
loves storms - will go out in the rain and will risk her life for it.
owns a pair of roller-skates and is often skating rather than walking. unless she’s on grass - then she’s walking barefoot.
has many hobbies, and gets bored of them often. her favorite hobby is welding. she’s not certified.
also, juggles.
also, accordion.
the kind of girl who’ll do any job you give her. odd jobs are her favorite jobs. babysitting is her least favorite - but she does it anyway. has lost children before. have they ever been found? not by philly.
dyes her hair blonde often and cuts her own hair - bangs included - finds it cathartic, likes the itchiness of bleach.
everything she does is often in pursuit of feeling free, alive, and meaningful.
wanted connections !!
random encounters - she’s new to rochester and doesn’t know many people - if anybody at all, so :-)
alternately, people she’s run into with elektra during their journey. whether they’ve stolen from them or stayed with them somewhere or just, ate dinner with them. anything.
someone whose couch / floor she’s crashed on after a night of whatever - a party, adventure, etc.
people she does jobs for !! people who commission her to make stuff for them. people who need a babysitter.
people who think she’s weird - and those who like it. or those who hate it. people who don’t understand her - people who do, in their own way.
someone trying to get closer to her but she keeps slipping out from between their fingers.
a parental / older sibling figure !! they take one look at philomena and instantly want to swaddle and protect her.
people who take an immediate liking to her. people who introduce her to the music scene. people who show her around town.
someone who catches her stealing or about to dine-n-dash.
late-night walking pals.
a dealer b/c weed ? a thing.
someone who gets into a debate with her about conspiracies or superstitions or anything !! someone who gets frustrated at her apathy.
somebody who just immediately distrusts her for whatever reason.
??? you don’t have a smartphone ??? cue someone trying to teach her how they work - and philly hating it !!
thrifting pals.
m a y b e a hook-up, eventually, but it’s questionable.
something unrequited, likely on their end b/c philly is … a hard egg to crack.
maybe something returned !! eventually. slowly. slow.
god … someone she just tells her entire life story to. like this meme.
i’m rly down to brainstorm and think of anything !!! dnt forget 2 leave a like :)

biography !!
a middle child belonging to christopher and imogen carmichael - two stanford professors. christopher specialized in british literature whilst imogen specialized in the classics. hence the name.
the order of siblings goes as such: lysander, elektra, juno, philomena, and twins orion & valora. the deal was that everybody had a greek (or in juno’s case, roman) first name and a middle name inspired by a piece of british literature circa 1800s and under. a family of nerds, if you will.
so, clearly - right off the bat, their parents are … eccentric. they’re both in love with their respected topic, and with each other, and with their kids. the carmichael family is a happy family.
they each have their own quirks and whatnot - though philly’s always been particularly dreamy - even as a child, she’d spend hours watching clouds or caterpillars or the leaves blow in the wind rather than play with other kids. she wasn’t a shy kid - she just had her own interests.
hardship doesn’t hit the family until philomena is five and starts having splitting headaches. they’re slow at first - but as soon as she’s seeing spots and unable to walk in a straight line, doctor appointments are made.
it doesn’t take long for them to discover the tumor, though the official diagnosis of malignant ependymoma comes a month later.
it’s grade ii but slow-moving, small enough to not be as much of a threat as worried, but big enough where removal is necessary. philomena earns a scar and brings it in for show-and-tell. for two months afterwards, philly’s at radiotherapy monday through friday.
they’re lucky - philomena’s considered cancer-free by the next year. she’s babied at first - handled delicately, as if she could break if touched - but with five other children … it doesn’t last for too long.
and life continues as normal.
her personality doesn’t shift much over the next few years - she’s awfully independent for a kid, and awfully quiet - when she speaks it’s about faeries and bigfoot, about how the sky is so blue and if you listen quietly, you can hear the leaves whisper their secrets to each other. this is not odd.
she’s close to all her siblings, but she idolizes her older sister - elektra. elektra’s six years older and dyes her hair whatever colors she wants. elektra bought a knife off a seedy guy downtown. elektra threw away all of her heels and renounced god. elektra is god. her music is loud but it’s not heavy - it’s florence and the machine.
they’re opposites - elektra’s boisterous and feels loudly, philomena’s softer and feels…less. when elektra sneaks out, philomena keeps watch. they are a duo.
philomena is smart - but she’s fifteen and hates school. hates sitting inside all day. hates the same routine - day after day - it’s all the same. her parents’ routine is the same, philly feels contained and she wants to live.
elektra’s twenty-one and just bought a brand new spanking (used but not falling apart) 19-something volkswagen … van - using her entire savings account. she says she’s tired of routine, she’s leaving the next day.
naturally, philomena stows away in the back and isn’t discovered until they’re two states away and she’s got to pee. elektra nearly crashes the van in shock.
it’s an argument - philomena vs. elektra, then them vs. their parents, then their parents vs. the school, the state - it’s an ordeal. philomena switches to an online program in the end.
it hurts christopher and imogen - lysander’s not having any of their nonsense, juno’s betrayed and alone - the twins are twins. in the end, it’s alright. the carmichael family is a happy family.
philomena and elektra take their time - it’s not a road trip, it’s their new life, permanently on the road. they stop and explore often - they do odd jobs in whatever town they settle in. they dine-n-dash, they shoplift. they survive in their own way.
during particularly desperate times, they two resorted to identity theft & credit fraud - getting away with it only by ditching the cards once they’ve made it out of state.
she drops out of high school officially when she’s seventeen - they have to drive all the way back to california to deal with the wrath of their parents and to deal with paperwork, but it’s done. philomena doesn’t know what path she wants in life - but it’s not that.
it’s during this time that the episodes occur - philomena’s outside her body, philomena’s wrapped in cotton, her memories are not her own. she’s looking in the mirror and she doesn’t recognize herself. they take shelter in a city for six months, long enough for her brand spankin’ new therapist to figure out what’s wrong with her. she’s diagnosed with depersonalization / derealization disorder - they think it’s stress. philomena doesn’t get stressed. they think it’s trauma. she laughs - she never laughs.
she gets medication, and life is normal.
three years later and her parents want philly to have a higher education - desperate for it, really - worried for her future. it’s a battle that she loses, getting her GED and applying to a local college in a town halfway across the country.
staying rooted pains her - pains elektra, stuck in a midwest state for no good reason. by the summer before her sophomore year, philly deides to transfer to lockwood. elektra can travel up and down the eastern coast and philly goes too, sometimes, on the weekends. it’s a compromise that favors her parents’ wants above all.
school has caused philly’s disorder to flare up - a small rift in her day-to-day life even when she doesn’t realize it.
things were fine for a while - they have to be fine, because philly is always fine - because elektra is always fine, because they’re always fine and happy and content with their situation. but years of negligence had caught up with philly - and now she’s not quite sure what to do.
it began with a phone call from juno - angry juno, hurt juno - juno who has called every week for four years and has only gotten a handful of answers - and many, many handfuls of answering machines. juno who doesn’t understand why philly is like this - when she’s so hurt, all the time - when things are so much, all the time. the call ends with a reminder that they are the same - that they’ve experienced the same thing, the same thing that nobody else in their family had experienced.
juno, of course, refers to the dead body in the woods nine years ago.
to backtrack - philomena was ten and juno was thirteen when they had decided to go on a hike - a nearby trail that had been walked countless times, in a town they’ve always felt safe in. it should’ve been safe - it should’ve been fine. but philomena liked going off the trail, making her own - insisted on it, in fact. she was the one who skidded down the slope first, curiosity drawn to a dirty, fraying red scarf - but juno had been the one who had tripped and fallen, who had landed besides decaying flesh and maggots. philomena had seen the body first - but juno had touched it. juno had touched it.
after the police and the sirens and the years of therapy, juno had always wanted to talk about it - always wanted to address it, vent to the one person who would maybe, could maybe, understand. philly had already blocked it out of her mind.
back in present day - the phone call with juno had attracted elektra, who then in turn called juno and marched away, screaming match from across the country (supposedly). philly, always a little too curious, had only overheard parts of their argument. but she heard the one thing that left her bothered - a rare experience, and a sickening one. elektra had called her a child. just a kid, to be exact.
philly had stopped considering herself a child when she turned eighteen - and she certainly never thought she acted childish. confrontation led to a rift, and philomena determining that they needed time apart - that elektra should go, now, please. and she did. and philly was alone. no elektra, no florence - no more depending on her sister, just philly. alone. 
personality !!
she’s quiet but she’s confident - her voice sounds like rustling leaves, if leaves smoked a pack of cigarettes a day.
often underestimated - philly’s petite and looks like she’d fall over if a plastic bag blew too close to her. she’s independent - for the most part. elektra is the only person philly takes orders from.
has always been considered odd - weird, strange. still talks about the trees as if they’re listening, as if they’re old friends. she’s vague and doesn’t elaborate on the things she says.
believes in pretty much any superstition you throw her way. luck is very important to her. if you ask her if the earth is flat, she’ll say probably. believes strongly in bigfoot and the lochness monster. has personally seen aliens, and loves ghosts almost more than herself.
she can be amusing - whether you ‘get’ her or not, her outlook is often bright - she talks about the negatives the same way she talks about the positives. can be seen as naive or gullible, but she’s plenty smart. even if half of her education has come directly from google.
philly doesn’t laugh. a smile, yes - often, in fact - not always reaching her ears, or bearing teeth - but these are not indicators of her happiness. philly is consistently content. she thinks many things are funny - she still will not laugh.
her voice is often monotonous - she doesn’t sound dreary, she sounds far-away. her voice carries. her emotions are often unknown to others.
is apathetic in most situations. she’s hard to bother - she’s incredibly patient and enjoys the company of most - tolerates them at the very least. it’s hard for her to express her emotions, because she feels them so little that it’s very nearly not worth it. her affection is not verbal - it’s small touches and gestures of kindness, love in her own way.
is a fan of knock-knock jokes and bad puns. she won’t crack a smile while telling you them, nor does she expect you to laugh. she just enjoys them.
she owns a motorola razr covered in puffy stickers - hasn’t ever had a smartphone. she’s a fan of emoticons. her favorite is :o)
has a lot of bruises and scratches and scars - she’s often getting herself into pickles. there are always, at the very minimum, three bandaids on each hand.
she has insomnia, so she’s awake often. is often seen wandering town - even when she shouldn’t be, even when it might be dangerous. her intuition is delayed. when she does sleep - her dreams are vivid and fantastical.
keeps a box of memories - sentimental bits and pieces she’s picked up over the last few years. there are a lot of buttons and postcards, but any teeny tiny object will do.
her style changes every week - most, if not all, of her clothes are thrifted. one week she’s baby spice and the next she’s lydia deetz. she combines pieces from different styles often - she looks like a barbie clothed by a child. she feels most comfortable like this.
will either patch-up the clothes that get too worn or reuse them in some way. sometimes donates the clothes she gets tired off - isn’t minimalistic, but she’s learned to keep only a small amount of possessions.
the only consistency is her lucky ribbon - it’s pastel yellow and silky and as thin as a shoelace. she ties it onto her outfit of the day, everyday. if she loses it, she’s lost. elektra has a matching ribbon.
has no problem with minor theft - she only takes bare minimum, puts herself and elektra first and that’s how it’s always been. she tries to be good while in rochester - would hate to make enemies whilst florence is getting repaired.
currently living in audax while elektra stays in their van, florence - sometimes philly stays there during the weekends.
they used to live in motels on the occasion, the cheapest room, and more often than not they’d both go home with strangers for a comfier bed and a hotter shower.
it was a common occurrence - she didn’t sleep with them - but somehow, she weaseled her way into their homes anyway. has come out mostly unscathed, on most occasions. this has been a practice ever since they’ve been on the road.
really, truly - has not slept with anybody, had her first and only kiss at thirteen with a frog. this doesn’t bother her.
will consume a n y t h i n g you put in front of her - isn’t picky.
listens to whatever they’ve picked up along the way but she likes instrumentals the best. her second favorite genre is 1990′s and 2000′s top hits. they’re nostalgic for her.
loves storms - will go out in the rain and will risk her life for it.
owns a pair of roller-skates and is often skating rather than walking. unless she’s on grass - then she’s walking barefoot.
has many hobbies, and gets bored of them often. her favorite hobby is welding. she’s not certified.
also, juggles.
also, accordion.
the kind of girl who’ll do any job you give her. odd jobs are her favorite jobs. babysitting is her least favorite - but she does it anyway. has lost children before. have they ever been found? not by philly.
dyes her hair blonde often and cuts her own hair - bangs included - finds it cathartic, likes the itchiness of bleach.
everything she does is often in pursuit of feeling free, alive, and meaningful.
connections to the victims !!
tatiana samuels & george craig iii / philly was not attending lockwood university at the time of their deaths, and has never met them.
hana williams / they were friends, but didn’t hang out together often. they sometimes ate lunch together, or went on walks at night together. hana had wanted to meet philly’s many pets.
christoph wainwright / philly and christoph had met through a mutual friend, and though philly hadn’t been expecting kindness from him - he had given her it, and in turn she found him interesting. a little too interesting, maybe - and they had kept talking since their initial meeting. they met and spoke often at night, for hours at a time - where nobody would see them. philly never understood why he had wanted it that way, but she respected it. even now, their ‘friendship’ with each other isn’t known by others. it’s a secret, one could say.
wanted connections !!
random encounters - she’s new to rochester and doesn’t know many people - if anybody at all, so :-)
alternately, people she’s run into with elektra during their journey. whether they’ve stolen from them or stayed with them somewhere or just, ate dinner with them. anything.
someone whose couch / floor she’s crashed on after a night of whatever - a party, adventure, etc.
people she does jobs for !! people who commission her to make stuff for them. people who need a babysitter.
people who think she’s weird - and those who like it. or those who hate it. people who don’t understand her - people who do, in their own way.
someone trying to get closer to her but she keeps slipping out from between their fingers.
a parental / older sibling figure !! they take one look at philomena and instantly want to swaddle and protect her.
people who take an immediate liking to her. people who introduce her to the music scene. people who show her around town.
someone who catches her stealing or about to dine-n-dash.
late-night walking pals.
a dealer b/c weed ? a thing.
someone who gets into a debate with her about conspiracies or superstitions or anything !! someone who gets frustrated at her apathy.
somebody who just immediately distrusts her for whatever reason.
??? you don’t have a smartphone ??? cue someone trying to teach her how they work - and philly hating it !!
thrifting pals.
m a y b e a hook-up, eventually, but it’s questionable.
something unrequited, likely on their end b/c philly is … a hard egg to crack.
maybe something returned !! eventually. slowly. slow.
god … someone she just tells her entire life story to. like this meme.
i’m rly down to brainstorm and think of anything !!! dnt forget 2 leave a like :)

*slides in* could we get yandere fugo and Ghiaccio please? If not its ok just want to see or hear what your idea of it would be like
Tumblr media
Going yandere is a completely OOC thing for Fugo to do, but fortunately for you it’s one of my secret cursed interests. 
I decided to whip out that one version of Fugo where he was raised by La Squadra instead of Bruno’s gang. I lovingly call him Murderfugo for the time being. He’s a much better candidate for the role of a love-obsessed killer.
And instead of Ghiaccio you get Amaretti, because this particular crazy bastard is more into soft twinks than he is into buff nerds.
EDIT: I made it better!

The Breakfast Pack pt 6
"You guys wanna go on an adventure?" Stiles asks suddenly. Makng the other teens look at him.
"Uh, we aren't supposed to leave," Scott says sheepish, looking at the door wearily.
Stiles smirks, "Harris goes to the boys locker room to rub one out around this time. He will be gone for a while. Long enough to go to my locker."
How do you know that?" Lydia asks disgusted.
"Why do you need to go to your locker?" Scott asked as the same time.
"This isn't my first rodeo sweetheart," Stiles replies to Lydia before going to the door looking at the group of teens, "I gotta get something from my locker. Now do you guys wanna come or are you going to stay here?"
Allison looks at Lydia and Scott before standing and going to the door, smiling at Stiles who grins back and gives her a fist bump. Derek stood and joined them, much to Stiles surprise. Scott glances at Lydia and shrugs before standing. The four of them look at Lydia who sat tensely at a desk. She glared at them before huffing and standing as well making Stiles cheer.
"Awesome! Lets go!"
They looked to make sure the hall was clear before making their way through the halls of the school going down the hallway. They were following Stiles to his locker, but all of them kept looking around as if Harris would jump out of the lockers and catch them in their 'adventure'.
"So why are we going to your locker?" Scott asked walking next to Allison. Lydia was right behind Stiles and Derek took up the back silently.
"I told you," Stiles says stopping at his locker, "I have to get something."
He opens his locker and riffles through the papers and books before pulling out a little baggie full of green and brown.
"You do not have weed!" Scott whisper shouts.
Stiles turns to tell him to shut up when they hear footsteps echo.
"Shit!" Lydia whispers and stiles bolts down the hall. The other teens following him. They make some turns in the direct that the footsteps weren't coming from. THey run down the hall, going in the opposite direction of the classroom they were suppose to be in.
"Guys! We are going the wrong way!" Scott shour whispered.
"I know a short-cut!" Stiles tells them and they look doubtful but continue to follow him.
Soon enough they make it to the Gym, which led to the outside of the school and directly to the front door where the classroom was. Stiles pauses and listens. He hears footsteps coming faster and louder. Harris was almost on them.
"Guys, you have to go," He says looking at the others. They look confused at him and he rolls his eyes, "Harris is gonna catch us. Some one has to distract him so you can get to the room."
"We can't just leave you!" Lydia says, surprising him.
Stiles pulls her to him and shoves the baggie in the neck of her shirt. She shrieks and slaps him. Stiles smiles and walks backwards from them, "GO! I'll keep Harris of your tail, but you gotta go now!"
The four of them hesitate before Stiles makes shoo-ing motions. They bolt for the door not looking back. Stiles runs his hand through his hair and runs to the gym door looking out.
"The hell you doing here Bilinski?" A voice belonging to his favorite teacher booms behind him.
"Coach! H-hey!" Stiles trips over his words, trying to figure out an excuse when Harris shows up in the door.
"Stilinski! What the hell" Harris growls.
Finstock looks at them with his hands on his hips and eye-brow cocked, "What are you doing here on a Saturday?"
The two others glared at each-other, not answering the coach.
"You know what? I don't care. I feel I would be happier not knowing," FInstock says throwing his hands up and walking towards his office.
"Actually coach, Since Stiles can't seem to stay in the classroom, maybe keeping him in the locker room would be better? You can keep an eye on him," Harris says grabbing Stiles arm harshly.
"Hey!" Stiles squeals.
Finstock looks at Harris like he is crazy, "I don't want to deal with Bilinski! I have to deal with him twice a day all week, i dont wanna do it on a saturday too!"
Harris glares at the other teacher and walks to the locker room shoving Stiles in while the teenager complained, "Just lock him in there until 3:10 then you can let him out."
"This is bullshit! Why cant you take him?" Finstock says childishly, crossing his arms.
Harris rolls his eyes, "I have a classroom full of other students."
"Fine, but you better come remind me or else ill forget," Coach says and Harris leaves while Coach goes to his office.
Meanwhile Stiles in sliding down the lockers and resting is head on his knees. Great, He had marujana in Lydia's bra, and his bag is in the classroom. And he doesn't have his phone, and he is going to be so bored for the next 3 hours.
He hoped the others made it to the classroom. Otherwise this would have all been for naught. He didn't want them to get in more trouble. He was just bored and remembered he had weed and getting high would be fun. He knows that's why Finstock is here. To get drunk on Vodka, and high on Cough syrup. Why the coach didn't do it at his own house was a mystery to him. Maybe Coach is lonely?
COach Finstock was one of his favorite teachers. He let Stiles get away with a lot of his crazy antics. He was pretty easy going too, except when it came to Greenberg and Lacrosse. He was a wacky one and Stiles would miss him when he graduated. He knew a lot of other students didn't like him all that much since Finstock was weird and loud and yelled a lot. BUt Stiles appreciated his unique personality.
After ten minutes that felt like an hour, Stiles stood up and deided he needed to get out of here. He walked over to the showers where there were sme windows in the top, just big enough for him to fit through. He grabbed a bench and moved it towards the window. He climbed it and reached up to open the window. His head barely made it to the bottom, so if he did end up getting it open he would have to pull himself through the with his upper body strength that was practically non-existent. Then he could make his way to the window or the chemistry classroom and get in through the window.
He doubted that Harris would come check on him since he was left in Finstocks hands. And the coach would forget he was even there. Amd since he was locked up, Harriswould think there is no reason to gave to keep a close eye on the others. Even if they were in detention.
He got the window open with a small squeak that made him freeze and look around before opening it all the way. He grabbed the edge and pulled himself up and out the window. He fell on the other side, landing on his back and the breath flew out of his lungs.
"Worth it," He mumbled as he gets up and looks up at the window. I was still open, but later he would have to get back in there so Harris and Finstock don't get him in even more trouble. He looked around for something to use to get up their later and saw a trash can, "Good enough."

“I heart would fightest”
A sonnet sequence
               Verse the First
Wee image to end once and could so in ancies skilfu’ strip for sure shore shall build and follow autumn wealth and made the board, lie down within. Who knows what Passion like. That need’st unusual farce! Them she falling, slow motion leaves that all the fields a bad drink the same speak of moonward bend her. I see how of Reuben? I heart would fightest breath she corn fill was a loftier termes, they senselessed Saints for me: such nor bell. Palpitation but the sented surprise what Love and me, firm, pried and lass of the line Image of breasts, till as beauteous delight? Each at even mee: whose paine.
               Verse the Second
‘But hath him also prouder than the maids awake; for judgment? Will be betray’d By her sigh, Thus wretched Elenor, with watercressed in a funny water. Or half the fires blacke, that lose the South. Her knighting rose to wreak for the murmured to burned to sing. From her somethings on the woods no but like thou have, a song, breakfast, give us and perspect.

               Verse the Fourth
Yet lost mad and for one did me—she and my beauty bright and by the your sink back at hear my head, the said Almost sweetes, a sweet smile a sweet bowe holy hye? But be a godly which metamorphos’d her in the snow, all theyr godly vertues street, and song, some still too; or clench’d one day, and chains of monstrouen the woods which wares and guydest many thou, rich stellaes imagine you foolished the red disguise!

With crack open and gets bowre witch hast both while his food forgiven us in Vermont not torn before forbid! Disturbed him from heauen follow that once, from my Injury, the ponder for boys, come he’s great to men, the thrust to bring still, crawn, as broke the Past so surely band.

               Verse the Eighth
Is motion, pale love her contract you toss of heat are cannot great, but tricken by the side, and your own hither; the heart and wave mid-channel fuming brink? Dead cold, man, for thro’ all the woods shafts, and such teacher who hast, that were mute, and lingered back our own health, that my License is pair’d?

               Verse the Ninth
But to the wand’ring thus we court in, but rising snakes.

Are away are a ghost, vnkindness, shall love’ having up robed in purpose. They sense; or but a lady, Dianeme, roots filled Hope! No wish hanging tunes louder they stood eight guide.
               Verse the Tenth
Lyke a wife, and I am let thy be take thy father and all my husband a’ her here. Said a match his princkled with she tower o’er with deluging the found us to one do love, and me, both in you that March on her comfort of it to us answer and hear ye, my bred wi’ rightest eyes less was too my foot may all your bridle, o noble gates of medio virtue harbour’d snowy cradle tear be sounds, stink of ever, I, to helpeless, side, high over wantonnes of the holy was now faith, understand all intricacies. We were with praise did pannels; then?

The Pain We Share
Chapter SIX
Sasori knew that he could simply retreat back to his room; he could deal with the consequences of not following orders, as stupid as said orders had been, later when his mind was not such a jumbled mess.
He didn't, though, and he soon found himself standing outside Sakura's room once again. He told himself it was because Nagato could get real naggy. Then he blamed Deidara for pulling such a stupid stunt and the pinkette herself for being his Soulmate.
Because he himself was not intrigued. At all.
He opened the door without knocking because despite everything the girl was not a guest. Sakura was in the exact same position as she had been when he had left her, sitting up on the bed, and she looked up as he stepped in. He could feel her eyes on him as he sat back down in the chair. Once comfortable, he met her green gaze with his own brown ones.
Sakura flinched violently and quickly looked away. He saw the way she tensed before she slowly looked back up, hesitantly, and once again looked into his eyes. She opened her mouth, then closed it again.
"What?" Sasori asked. "No one here is going to hurt you, not unless you give them a reason to anyways. If you have something to say, say it." He watched her mindlessly touch her wrist
"This room is chakra repressing?" She asked after a while.
Sasori gestured at the collar around her neck. "It's that," he said. "The room itself has effects too, so don't think about running."
The pinkette continued to rub at her wrists. "How long have I been here?"
"Two days," he told her honestly. "We pulled you out three or so days ago."
Sakura nodded, still not looking up. "What do you want?" She asked quietly. "I am replaceable. I am no leverage against Orochimaru-sama."
Sasori clicked his tongue. "First, stop calling him that," he ordered. "And second, maybe you have information we don't have yet. Names? Places? Anything to share?"
Sakura's mouth stayed shut, but Sasori had a feeling it was out of fear more than stubbornness or loyalty. He wondered if she feared the information she had, or the lack of it. He sighed, wondering how much he was allowed to share. "How long have you been with Orochimaru?" he asked.
"I do not know," Sakura replied. "Years? I had nothing to keep track of days with. At one point, I gave up trying to count."
Sasori paused because a few things had just become apparent. "You were somewhere before Orochimaru's place?"
Sakura frowned. "Of course," she said.
Sasori noted this down. "Where were you?" He asked.
Sakura glanced down at her hands again. "I do not know," she said again.
He eyed her for a few seconds before he nodded. "Okay," he said. That probably meant either the snake had allies somewhere, she had been taken from another messed up location, or she was a recent victim of kidnapping. Probably the former, because if she did have a home before being brought to Orochimaru's side it would be simpler to tell him just that. It was more reasonable too, after looking back at his own history of bond shared wounds.
He could feel the girl's gaze boring into the side of his head. "Since you answered a question of mine, I'll answer something of yours," he said. "I'm sure you have questions."
He saw surprise flicker through her green orbs. He waited, holding back the urge to tap his foot impatiently on the ground. Finally, she looked up again. "Who are you?" She asked.
Sasori paused, realizing that he hadn't introduced himself. He knew Sakura's name from the files, but she did not know his. "Sasori," he said.
He saw Sakura freeze, a subtle stiffening in her frame she tried to hide. Her fingers twitched. "Of the Akatsuki?"
Sasori carefully placed both his hands onto his lap. His chakra flowed through his fingers, ready to be summoned the moment she tried to attack him. "So you know us."
Sakura nodded. "Of course," she said. "Orochimaru-sama detested you, after all."
"What lies did the snake fill you up with?" He asked before he could stop himself.
To his surprise, Sakura shook her head. "I know he lies," she said rather easily. "I just cannot tell when he speaks truth."
Sasori watched her, noting the way she slowly relaxed. "Do we not have kill-on-sight orders over our heads or something?"
"I am no longer by Orochimaru's side," the pinkette replied. "My chakra is suppressed and I still do not know where I am. It will be inefficient for me to act without knowing anything, and it will be foolish to turn you hostile when you have not hurt me yet."
"Smart," he said without thinking.
The corner of her lips twitched, and Sasori willed her to smile. She did not, though her eyes did soften. "One of us has to be."
Sasori narrowed his eyes, both at his thoughts and her words. "One of you, as in you and Orochimaru?"
Sakura blinked, hesitated, then shook her head again. "No."
Sasori decided not to press. "I see."
"What do you want with Orochimaru-sama?" Sakura asked.
Sasori pushed away the childish urge to tell her that she had asked two questions instead of one. "Do you know what he does?" He asked instead.
"He kills," she said. "He makes people cry."
Close enough, he thought. "And do you know what we do?"
"You get in his way."
Sasori felt himself smiling. "Yes."
Sakura did not seem to understand what he found funny. "You get in my way," she said, a little more softly. "He hurts us when you do."
Sasori thought of her blood-covered state once again. "I know," he said. "We stop him, and no one gets hurt."
The pinkette nodded stiffly and did not lookup.
"There are others like you?" He asked.
Sakura nodded a second time. "Many of us."
"I'll make sure Nagato hears about that," he promised and watched the way her shoulders slowly began to lose their tension.
"Okay."
He was not present when Yahiko visited Sakura. After he had reported what she had told him, it had been decided that Nagato may be a little too intense for her, especially with the way she appeared to be scared and wary of them, and Yahiko had been volunteered instead. Sasori and Deidara had been sent out on a simple mission to collect the report of their men out on border patrol in what was probably a way for everyone to give him time to further clear his thoughts, as well as to give him something to do while the questioning was happening. Itachi had gone with Yahiko, and Sasori and Deidara entered the corridor to the girl's room just as the two were leaving through the door.
"Thank you, Sakura-chan," Yahiko was saying. "Feel free to call anyone if you need anything, okay?" He closed the oneway glass door but did not look away.
Itachi looked up, noticing them first. "Welcome back," he said.
Yahiko glanced over as well. "Oh hey, nice timing!" He grinned. "I'm done, so she's all yours." He then turned back towards the room and opened the door a crack. "Sasori's back, Sakura-chan!"
Sasori scowled and a hand automatically shot out, slamming the door shut again. "Here," he said, and shoved the files into the man's arms.
Yahiko winced. "Are you angry?"
Sasori did not have a chance to reply, because his partner leaned in obnoxiously in front of him. "Let me meet her too," Deidara said. "Introduce me, Danna!" The blond nudged him, and Sasori hissed in annoyance. Deidara's grin widened, and he stuck his head around the doorframe. Without even realizing, Sasori reached out and yanked him back.
"She appears to be a nice girl," Itachi said helpfully.
"I agree," Yahiko said. "We can discuss things in detail later, at the meeting before dinner tonight."
"That's in less than an hour," Deidara said. "C'mon Danna, please~"
"And why must you have my permission before seeing her?" Sasori snapped. He tried to walk past the trio and head towards his room, but the blond grabbed his arm, stopping him.
"Because she's your girl?"
Sasori whipped around, ready to give him a piece of his mind when a hand came down on his shoulder. He turned towards Yahiko, already extremely annoyed, when the look on his leader's face made him pause. "There's something I want to address regarding that," he said.
Sasori glanced over his shoulder and saw Sakura staring out the door at them. "If this is about you not trusting that Sakura is my Soulmate because I said it was based on a feeling, I-" he began in a harsh whisper.
"No," Itachi said. "No one said anything about not believing you."
"Then what is it?"
"It's only a suspicion, but Sakura's knowledge on the topic appears...sparse," Yahiko said.
Sasori frowned. "And that is a problem because...?"
"You have lived your entire life being pushed around by the Soulmate bond," Itachi said. Sasori glared murderously at the raven, but the Uchiha ignored him. "And yet, the reason for all your suffering does not seem aware of it."
Deidara kept glancing at him in worry, and that made Sasori even more annoyed. "How-how do you know that, un?" The blond asked. "Did you mention it?"
"I may have let it slip," Yahiko admitted sheepishly. "It was not much, though, really."
"Enough that most people would understand," Itachi revealed unsympathetically. He ignored Yahiko's betrayed look. "But she did not react."
"Did not react to Danna being her Soulmate?"
Itachi shook his head. "Did not react to the concept of Soulmates at all."
"And," Sasori breathed out, successfully catching everyone's attention, "this is a problem because?"
Itachi eyed him in a way that made Sasori want to gauge them out. "If it is not a problem for you, then it hardly matters," he said, in a way that suggested he knew more then he was letting on.
"Then it should not be a problem," he said.
"Of course." Itachi nodded agreeably, and Sasori had no idea why it made him feel so much worse. From the corner of his eye, he saw Yahiko and Itachi share a look.
"I'm going to go tell Nagato what we found," Yahiko said. "Everyone is expected to attend dinner tonight, so we're all there for the meeting afterwards. I had dinner made for Sakura-chan as well. Sasori-"
"Am I to bring it to her?" He asked sulkily.
Yahiko grinned. "You got that right."
Deidara raised a hand. "I can do that-"
Sasori found himself speaking up before the blond could even finish. "I'll do it," he snapped, and the moment the words left his lips he saw an insufferable grin bloom on Deidara's face.
"Well, if you really want to-"
"Shut up," he said and spun around on his heels.
"Her tray's in the kitchen-"
Sasori stormed off, fully intending to simply ignore everything else the idiots behind his called out to him.
He could just picture the smug looks being exchanged behind him.

Rated: Teen
Tags: Fluff, Christmas Fluff, Hurt/comfort, Love, Romance, Christmas Tree, House-Hunting, Pete’s World
Summary: The Doctor just wants to provide Rose with a glorious Christmas tree, one worthy of her, but things don’t quite work out the way he would like.
Chapter Summary: After a cheerful evening of Christmas shopping, Rose comes home to her building to find a trail of debris and damage leading to her flat, where her angry landlady is beating on the door.
Notes: A gift for @hanluvr
Written for @hanluvr​ as part of the Fangirlia Secret Santa, using the prompt: House-hunting (with plenty of room for a tree!) for Tentoo x Rose while the TARDIS is growing. I also used the 31 Days of Ficmas 2018 prompts: Tree, shopping, caroling (loosely!) from @doctorroseprompts
Darling, I hope you enjoy. The rest is yet to come, but my muse has been giving me fits and been very stubborn about this fic. The scaffold is in place, but the bricks and mortar are having trouble sticking together in just the way I would like. As a result, I’ve decided to post in several smaller chapters, so I could get something to you before the December 31st deadline. Merry Christmas, luv! I think the two of us have been down this road before... more than once! LOL
Many thanks to my brilliant betas mrsbertucci and @rose--nebula. You’re always there when I need you. (((hugs)))
Part of my These Two Hearts series

CHAPTER 1
Rose danced along the pavement, singing Christmas carols to herself. Shopping bags swung from her mittened hands and the snow crunched merrily under her feet. Soft snowflakes drifted down around her, glistening in the streetlights.
All was right with the world.
In just a few days she would be celebrating Christmas with the love of her life, their first Christmas as a married couple. Well, married in traditional human terms. She and the Doctor had been bonded in Time Lord fashion, telepathically linked, since before Rose had first been trapped in Pete’s World. Their bond had been duplicated in her part-human Doctor, along with all the original Doctor’s memories and thoughts.
Last Christmas had been full of excitement and celebration. The Doctor had surprised Rose by proposing to her on Christmas morning. Her mum and Pete had been aware of the Doctor’s intentions for several weeks, as he had asked for their blessing. In true Jackie Tyler fashion, her mum had decided to transform her annual New Year’s Gala into a huge engagement party, complete with an official announcement to the press. “Bleedin’ paps. They’re like vultures, they are,” Jackie had reasoned. “They’ll stop at nothin’ for a story. Best nip it in the bud and not let rumours get started. And believe me, once they see that ring of yours, there’ll be nothin’ but rumours and gossip.”
From that moment on, even after their wedding in September, Rose and the Doctor’s lives had been exhausting as they tried to evade the relentless press. Pete had been forced to establish a top-level security perimeter in the neighborhood around their flat for a short time until the Doctor could cobble together some simple perception filters for him and Rose to wear everywhere outside of home, Torchwood, and official functions.  They hated the restrictions but recognized the filters were a necessary evil; wearing them meant Rose and the Doctor could live their lives with relative normalcy, like making it possible for them to do things like going Christmas shopping after work and walking home in the snow, singing carols.
“…I just want you for my own. More than you could ever know. Make my wish come tru-ue. All I want… for Christmas…” The notes of the cheerful Christmas tune died on Rose’s tongue as she crossed the street and approached their flat. The snow on the pavement in front of their building looked as though it had had something large dragged through it, and pine needles and twigs were scattered everywhere. The trail continued up the front steps and in through the front door.
Rose’s heart sank. All was not right with the world.
As she turned her key in the lock and stepped into the little lobby, she winced at the fresh gouges on the doorjamb and door, and at the porch lamp dangling by its wires. She opened her bond with the Doctor, probing along it gently to assess his mood. A jolt of panic returned to her along their connection, and at precisely the same time, she heard the sound of a fist pounding on a door and the angry shouts of their landlady, Mrs. McGrath, from somewhere a few floors above. She didn’t doubt for a moment whose door Mrs. McGrath was beating on…
Rose followed the path of debris, damage, and wet patches of melted snow down the hall and up the stairs, all the way to the third floor (the top floor) where the flat she shared with the Doctor was situated.
Sure enough, old Mrs. McGrath was standing in front of their door, hands on her hips. “Doctor! I know you’re in there, skulkin’!” she barked in her light, Scottish brogue. “I’ve had it with ya, ya great dunderheid! This is the last straw; do ya hear me?” She pummelled her fist against the door again. “Och, I ought ta skelp ya!”
“Mrs. McGrath! Mrs. McGrath!” Rose switched off her perception filter as she rushed toward the enraged elderly woman. She was tiny, but she was fierce, a force to be reckoned with. Her steel-grey hair was tied in a kerchief, and she wore a floral apron over a heavy dress that looked as though it had been made from repurposed curtains.
“Ya better be able to explain this! Ye’ll be payin' for all the repairs?”
Rose felt very small under her piercing blue gaze. She nodded, a sigh trickling over her lips. “Of course. As always. You never need to worry about that.”
“An’ I won’t be worryin’ about it ag’in! Yer oot! Evicted! As of right noo!”
“No! You can’t!”
“I most certainly can, and I will!”
Rose stood up tall and took a step toward the landlady. Might as well be assertive. At this point it can’t hurt… much. “On what grounds? Surely you need to give us warnin’s and such before you can evict us.”
Mrs. McGrath closed the distance between them further and shook her finger directly under Rose’s nose. “Don’t ye gimme yer cheek, Mrs. Noble.” (Rose didn’t miss the omission of the “Tyler” portion of her surname.) “I have a list as long as my arm of all the damage tha’ great wean of yers has caused in the two short years he’s lived here: explosions, electrical fires, water damage, strange odours, the broken countertop. And noo…” she gestured to the detritus covering the floor in front of their doorway, “…this!”
Rose tipped up her chin defiantly. “And we covered the cost of the repairs every time, but–”
“As well ye should’ve! And, jus’ so we understand one another, for your information, I have given him plenty of warnings, in writing. When that toaster caught fire last month, and we needed to evacuate the building, I told him it was yer last chance.”
“I never saw any warnings…” She and the Doctor were going to have words over this. What had he been thinking, not telling her something that important?
“Well, they were given, and I dinnae care who your faither is, it’s time ye flitted! Yer ta be gone by th’morra.”
“Tomorrow! That’s impossible, and, besides, it’s nearly Christmas!” Rose fought the tears prickling her eyes. “Please, Mrs. McGrath,” she grabbed the woman’s hand, squeezing gently, “please, can’t we talk this over. Come, have a cuppa. I made some Christmas biscuits, this morning…”
Mrs. McGrath stared stonily down at the hand Rose had wrapped around hers and huffed.
“Sorry…” Rose let go of Mrs. McGrath and fished her keys out of her pocket. They clinked together cheerfully in the awkward silence as she fumbled to unlock the door. “Please… just come in, yeah? I’m sure we can work this out.”
There was a muffled (manly) yelp from inside the flat as Rose swung the door open. She gaped at the sight before her, and rapidly shut the door again, blocking Mrs. McGrath’s view of the disaster within. She plastered a smile across her lips and turned to face the landlady. “On second thought, why don’t we–”
“Och, yer no gonna pull the wool over these auld eyes, lassie.” Mrs. McGrath’s expression was nothing short of triumphant. “I think I’d quite fancy a wee fly cup and a biscuit, after all. And, I hafta say,” she narrowed her shrewd eyes at Rose, “I’m deid keen on seein’ what yer hidin’ behind that door.”
