Drusilla’s Soul Ch. 14

Odiaba, Japan

A 14-year-old boy was practicing with his band. His name was Yamato “Matt” Ishida, he was handsome, cool, intelligent, and he was a bearer of Friendship. He had medium length blond hair and a green school uniform.

You've got a boy, you've got a girl,

Sitting' underneath a tree

They sit there everyday

And even though, you may think

this is the way the things should be,

It may not always be that way

You can't take nothing for granted,

You've gotta live life today

“Your music is really good. You can tour the world once you get a good enough agent, then you and the band will be world wide, Matt.” said the boy with a guitar.

(A/N: I don’t know their names for the Teenage Wolves band. I hope you don’t mind.)

The keyboard player nodded, “ I agree with him, but there are always other ways.”

“You really think we can travel the globe if we sign an agent? That’d be awesome, but I wonder who will watch TK while I’m gone?” Matt asked, “I mean, he’s 11. You think he can take care of himself?”

“That’s true, bro, but don’t you think you’re being a bit more like a parent than a brother? Being overprotective may make it harder for TK to seem more like a child than an adult, but I may have someone that can watch him while we’re gone.” said the drummer.

Matt looked at the drummer, “Who do you have in mind?”

“My cousin, she is cool.” the drummer responded.

“We have a gig to start next week. We are not going to travel nor will TK stay on his own. Besides, let’s do this gig and then we will start a concert.” said Matt.

They resumed playing music and the music level was absolutely brilliant.

After they finished practicing, they packed their instruments and fist bumped each other.

“That was really great practice, you guys. I’ll see you later.” Matt waved his friends goodbye.

“See ya, Matt.” said the keyboard player, waving goodbye to his friend.

Later that night

TK was playing Tekken 7 along with Patamon. His mother went to work until 6 PM. TK’s Tekken character was Paul Phoenix and Patamon’s Tekken character was Steve Fox. Paul was fighting Steve while his health bar was depleted. Patamon was trying to find a way to get his health bar up. TK was looking for power ups in the game, but couldn't find any. And Patamon also tried to find power ups, and he found it. Steve finally powered up and pummeled Paul to death. A K.O. appeared on the screen. Steve danced in victory. TK hung his head in defeat and Patamon won. TK couldn’t help but smile.

“You played well, Patamon. Wanna play another round?” asked TK.

“No. I'm kinda hungry. So what is your mother doing?" asked Patamon.

“She works at the newspaper company as a journalist. So she'll be back soon.” TK said, “Let’s have a hot pocket for dinner.”

“Okay.” said Patamon.

TK went to the kitchen and took out two frozen hot pockets from the freezer. He put them in the microwave to warm them up, and the microwave beeped those pizza pockets were done. He grabbed the saucers and carefully took them out of the microwave because it was hot.

They began to eat their food, it was so delicious and cheesy and it tasted like real pizza. They were soon full and sleepy.

“Ah, that was so good,” said Patamon blissfully.

“Yeah, it was." TK replied.

A phone rang in the kitchen. TK answered the phone.

“Hello?”

“Hey, TK.” greeted Matt.

“Hey, Matt. How have you been?” asked TK.

“I’m fine. The practice was really great, and the gig will start next week. Would you like to come?” asked Matt.

“Yeah, I can’t wait. Is all the gang going to be there?” TK replied.

“Sure, they are,” said Matt.

“Awesome! We haven’t seen them in a while.” said TK.

“You better be there next week ‘cause you don’t wanna miss it.” said Matt.

“Oh, I won’t miss it. I’ll set up a reminder, so I won’t forget that.” said TK.

“Okay, great. Is Mom home?” he asked.

“She’ll be back home until 6:00. I’ll tell her about this.” replied TK.

“Okay, I’ll see you later, bro.” said Matt.

“Bye, Matt.” TK hung up.

“Matt is having a gig next week. I think you should come, too.” smiled TK.

“Really?” Patamon beamed.

“Yeah, so are our friends, too.” said TK.

Patamon squealed in excitement and hugged TK, and TK hugged him back.

Somewhere in Underground

One night there was an underground crypt filled with candles resembling the church. The vampire minions gathered their leader. An ancient vampire was sitting on his throne who was old and hideous. He had white pale skin, a bald head with pointed ears and yellowish, talon-like nails. His face had the basic vampire brow ridge, wrinkles and fangs, except with red eyes instead of yellow ones; and a snub, bat-like nose. He also had blood-stained on his nose down to his mouth. He was wearing a leather jacket with matching pants and boots.

“My children, gather and listen to your Master,” the creepy looking creature said, as the vampires began to gather their master.

“Yes, my lord.” said the group of vampires.

"My children, have you obtained the items I need to free myself from this Hell Hole?" asked the Master.

One vampire kneeled in front of him, "Not yet Master, the Book Of Crimson Rituals and the Dagger Of Vladimir still have not been found, Master.” said the vampire named Luke.

The Master bent down and placed his index finger under the vampire's chin. "You best not fail again, my child or I will have to make an example of you."

“I won’t fail you, my Lord.” Luke said. " I'll find that book no matter what." Luke said.

“Anyway, I have a mission for you. There are some valuable items in Japan, Romania, and Denmark. I need three things that I have to free myself from this barrier.” said the Master.

“What are three items you need, Master?” asked Darla.

“The first item is Dagger of Vladimir that lies in Romania, the second item is a book called Crimson Ceremony that lies in Denmark, and the third item is Pigeon Blood gem that lies in Japan. This gem is precious.

Luke said, " I'll do whatever it takes to find that book Master. I won't let you down. I'll give you my word."

Angelus whispered to Darla, "This is ludicrous. Why do I have to stick with this prune face?”

“Because he’s trapped underground and the barrier held him off." replied Darla.

Angelus replied, "If we freed him, why can’t he just do it himself?”

“I heard that! Do you disobey my order?” asked The Master.

“Of course not, Master. We're just getting our plan of action together." said Darla.

“That's right. We'll be heading out soon." said Angelus.

“Of course you will, but if you disrespect your master, I will gladly dust you away like you're nothing.” said the Master.

Angelus scoffed, “Why not? You’ve been trapped underground with the barrier for 60 years!”

The Master said,"Don't make me kill you Angelus! Just do as I say!"

Luke said, “Well, speak of the devil, this girl called Drusilla was cursed by a gypsy to have a soul.”

“So Angelus was the one who sired her— no, he drove her insane before he turned into one of us." said the Master.

“And she fled from us, she was no longer with us. She has a damned soul and helped people.” said Angelus.

" What in the hell did you say? How would you know?” asked the Master.

“Because I have seen her every media report, Drusilla helped people from danger. The President had given her awards and a statue that made her a hero. It made my blood boil!” said Darla, in an angry voice.

Luke said, " And it's all on the head of one person. Angelus! I'll see you when I get back. I'm going to look for that book."

“Go ahead,” said Angelus. "Knock yourself out."

“I'm going to find the dagger, Master.” said Darla, bowing respectfully.

“You may go now, Darla.” the Master looked at Angelus, “ And it goes for you, Angelus. If you screw up even once, you're dead! Understand?”

Angelus paused before he responded, Yes, Master. I understand.” said Angelus, dully.

“Now go on. Your mission has begun.” said the Master.

They headed out on their mission determined to find the items for the Master.

One Week Later

Drusilla packed her belongings to get ready for the mission trip to Japan. She was dressed in a red dress and coat and shoes. Her hair was tied up as a bun and part of her mane down. She called David and Britney to come over to take care of her cat, Jade.

When they arrived at her house, she welcomed them.

“Hey, guys. Thanks for coming.” said Drusilla.

“It’s no problem. Guess where you are going?” asked Britney.

“Well, I have a mission to go to Japan. I’m on my way to the Princess Cruise, there are some strange creatures around here.” said Drusilla.

“Really? When are you coming back, Dru?” asked Britney.

“About 2 weeks.” replied Drusilla.

“Then you should be right back, right?” Britney asked.

“Yeah,I won’t be gone for too long. Before I go, please make sure you feed her, groom her, play with her, and wash her while I’m gone.” said Drusilla.

“Okay, we’ll do that.” said David, in affirmative.

“Please be careful. We’ll take care of Jade.” said Britney.

Drusilla nodded when she heard notification from her Uber app that had arrived at her house.

“Well, there goes my ride.” Drusilla patted Jade on the head saying goodbye. “Bye, Jade. Be a good cat and get along with them, okay?”

As Drusilla went out and got into the Uber and departed for the Princess Cruise. Drusilla called her boyfriend, Leon.

“Hello?”

“Hi, Leon.”

“Hey, Dru. How are you doing?” he asked.

“I’m fine. I’m on my way to the Princess Cruise.” replied Drusilla.

“Really? Where to?” asked Leon.

“Odaiba, Japan.” Drusilla said, “I have a mission trip right now, and I won’t be back until I return in 2 weeks.”

“You’re going on your own? If I come with you, it’s pretty dangerous to go on by yourself, you know?” said Leon.

“You don’t have to worry about me. I’ll be okay, Leon. Like I said, I’ll return in 2 weeks.” said Drusilla.

“Okay. I’m gonna miss you, Dru.” said Leon, sadly.

“I’ll miss you, too, Leon.” Drusilla smiled sadly.

“Take care, Dru.” said Leon.

“You, too.” Drusilla hung up.

After they had arrived at the Princess Cruise at the port. Drusilla thanked the Uber driver and took her luggage out of the trunk, walked to the entrance and gave them a valid ticket. As the cruise began to depart from the port, the passengers were exploring the ocean or relaxing.

A light switch came on, Drusilla scanned around the luxurious room. It had a Smart TV, queen bed, nice furniture, and there was a window where you could see the ocean. She opened the door to reveal a luxurious bathroom- beautiful.

It had a bathtub next to the shower, it had a sink and a toilet. So Drusilla made herself comfortable, so she turned on the TV to watch Family Guy.

9 Dorks SKZ 10th Member Au

Summary: Lisa meets the boys and gives Chan her answer

Warnings: none

Lisa’s P.O.V

After talking to Chan about him letting me in the group. He wanted me to meet the other members before I make up my mind. He told me to get ready at 7PM and gave the place they’re eating at.

Of course, I made sure to shower and dress casually. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. I was never really good at being in groups and making friends. I've always been independent.

I looked up my phone and it read 6:40 PM. Decided to leave my place early just too see who the other members look like. I doubt they'll like me tho. I don't look anything like them.

-----

It's a good thing I left early there was an accident around the corner, slowing people down. By the time I made it to the restaurant, it was already 6:58 PM.I texted Chan saying I was here and he would meet me in the front door.

"Hey, glad you can make it." He opened the door and had a huge smile on his face, like the one where he told me that he wanted me in his group.

"I did promise I'd showed up didn't?" I told him walking in.

"You did. Come on, the guys are waiting." His hands told me to follow him. He lead me to a rounded table were I saw 8 other younger males. To be honest they were all pretty cute now, I'm questioning my sense of fashion.

"Guys, this is Lisa, Lisa this is the boys." Chan introduce me. They all were looking at me. "Um, Hi." I bowed down to them feeling a little nervous. "Hi." they all said bowing down as well. For some reason I had this good vibe coming from them like I've known them my whole life.

I then notice someone familiar. Well they all were I've seen them in building time to time but one stood out to me.

"Felix?!" I looked at him confused.

“Noona!?:" I'm guessing he was confused on seeing me too.

"You two know each other?" One that looks like squirrel asked us.

"Uh yeah, we have private Korean classes together." Felix mentions. JYP thought it would best if we both were thought by the same teacher, since we're both foreigners. JYP also thought it would help Felix more too since he was new too. I didn't mind it, it was just the two of us and we both helped each other outs. At least I know one other person in the group, who doesn’t hate me. I think.

"Anyways you can sit next to me, Lisa." Chan scooted over so I can joined. "Thanks." I smiled placing my bag down.

"Hi, I'm Woojin." The guy that was sitting on the other side from Chris greeted.

"Hi, I'm Minho." the guy next to him winked at me. I didn't think too much of it. I heard from others that he's a good dancer.

"Hi, I'm Changbin dark rapper."

"I think I heard you rap before, you're really good." I complimented him. "Ah! Thanks!" He blushes.

"Hello, I'm Hyunjin."He spoke in english I gotta say his english was good and he was so handsome too. Like god damn, he could be a god damn model.

"Hi, Han Jisung." wow he does really look like a cute squirrel.

"And you already know ya boi Felix." His deep Australian voice always shook me. Like he's 17 and he has the voice of 40 year old.

"Hi, I'm Seungmin." This one also spoke in english well. Damn can they all speak english?

"Hi noona I'm jeongin, I'm the youngest here." He was so cute smiling with his braces. My heart went Uwuw like I need to protect this child at all cost.

"Noona?!! How old are you?" Jisung asked me.

"Oh, I'm a 97liner." I smiled nervously.

"Wow you’re tiny for a noona." Hyunjin jokingly teased me.

"Bro" Felix nudge him.

"sorry." Hyunjin apologized

"It's fine I'm used it." I assured him I can tell he still a bit guilty. I didn’t really like it when people teased me for my height but I’ve grew to get over it.

"Join the club." Changbin took a sip of his drink.I laughed.

"It's okay she can be our big, tiny noona." Minho smiles at me giving me a new nickname.

"I like that." I smiled at the name.

"Looks like you're the same age as me and Chan. Finally another parent to help keep these kids in check." Woojin teased. We laughed.

“EH, wouldn’t be too sure about that hyung. She may be older but she acts like a child sometimes.” Felix corrected I eyed him.

“Excuse me?”

“Last week you were crying because you couldn’t find your airpods.” He chuckles. I frown giving up. The rest of the boys just laughed.

"So, what's the age range here?" I asked after the waiter brought me my drink.

"16-20" Chan pointed out. I almost choked on my drink as they all chuckled. Damn they are young.

"You, me and Woojin are 97lines, Minho is 98, Changbin is 99, Hyunjin, Jisung, Felix and Seungmin are 00, and Jeongin here is 01." Chan put an arm around him. What the hell!!Damn I feel old.

"Don't worry Chan and I both feel old too." Woojin giggles. I hope I didn’t say that out loud.

"So, noona, you must be the girl Chan Hyung keeps talking about." Jisung mentions going back to that topic. I'm surprised that he talk about me.

"You talk about me?" I tried to tease him. Which worked cause I thought I saw him blush. He just let out a laugh.

"We-Well, like I said... I always had you in mind to our group. I wasn’t just gonna choose any girl." Chan played with his drink. Does he really think I'm that good. I just smiled.

“Thanks for being my personal stalker.” I teased he froze, causing the guys to snicker. “I’m joking.” I elbow him. He relaxed again.

"Noona, what position are you in for?" Hyunjin asked me.

"Oh, um...."

"She everything, does sing, rap and dance. Oh she also produces her own stuff right Noona?" Felix rambled.

"Bro how do you know this?" Minho questioned him. He froze for a minute.

"Uh, Korean classes duh." He smily says trying to avoid it. Felix is always good listener. We all just shrugged it off.

“Cool, so you write lyrics too?” Changbin asked me. I nod. “But, they’re not the good.”

“Are you serious. Your lyrics are amazing.” Felix points out. A smile appeared on my face. These guys are really something else.

“So, I guess you can be on the production team with Changbin, Jisung and I. we call ourselves 3racha.” Chan mentions. I kinda like that idea. Back in B.A.P the music producers wouldn’t let me or Zelo help out with productions.

"Noon, tell us a bit about yourself seeing hyung and Felix already know you." Seungmin suggested. I nod.

-----

After a few hours pass we all got to know each other very well. It's ironic how we all have something in common. All this time talking we kept on laughing our ass's of seeing much of dorks these kids are. They each showed me their talents and I gotta say they might young but y’all they got talent. I can see why Chan picked them out. He picked the right people.

Since I've been here I didn't have anyone judge me or say something rude about my race. I think it was Changbin that asked my race but they didn't seemed bother by it. Jisung commented saying I don't look Mexican at all lol. To be honest I love hanging out with them. It feels like we've belong together. I haven’t felt this way in such a long time.

"What do you say, Lisa wanna join our family?" Chan asked as everyone locked eyes with mine. At first I didn't know how it'd would work out 9 guys and 1 female. But after today I think if I say no I know I'd regret this. They're a bunch of lovable dorks.

"Say yes noona." Jeongin clapped his hands together giving me the puppy eyes. They all this look in their eyes of pleading.

I bit my lower lip before giving out my answer. I can feel the tension in the air.

I take one good look at each of them. "Looks like I have 9 brothers now?" I brightly smiled at them.

Once they heard my answer they grew huge smiles on their faces.

"Are you saying yes?" Seungmin questioned me one last time.

"I couldn't ask for a better team." I laughed.

Chan placed his hand in the middle as the other's did to I place mine last. "Lisa welcome to Stray Kids." everyone shouted the name of the group as we lifted our hands up and cheered.

"Stray Kids. I like that."

"We all thought about it. We would've waited for you but I was just too nervous to talk to you." Chan admits.

"The names perfect don't worry. Everyone will like it. I'm sure." I was still confused as to why he would be confused to talk to me.

"I always wanted a sister." Minho said. He told me he was an only child so he never had any siblings other than his cats.

"yeah. I feel like having you in our group, I mean family is going to be special." Changbin nods.

“Very special.” Hyunjin points out.

"I promise you guys, I won't let you down." I'll show them the best I have to offer them.

"Don't worry you'll be fine." Woojin places his hand on top on mine giving it a squees.

I then remember about Ryujin her friends. I knew how much they wanted Chan to pick one of them if they find out I was the one he picked my life will be a living hell.

"Noona, you okay? Your face went pale?" Felix raised his eyebrow at me. I can't tell them about what's happening me with them. Since Jisung are friends with them. I was surprised he didn’t bring them up. I don’t know if they talked about to him. I'm new so they probably won't believe me of the things they have done.

"Oh, uh yeah. Actually, can we not tell anyone that I'm the 10th member. I know there were rumors going around Chan looking for a female member and they've all been excited about it so i don't wanna crush the news just yet." I explained to them without telling them that the girl trainees haven't been really nice to me.

They all looked at me funny. "Well, JYP already know who was going to be our 10th member but, yeah we won't say anything." Chan pats my shoulder. Damn he really wanted me to joined that bad huh.

"We should get going it's getting late and we practice tomorrow, I bet you do too." Woojin looked at the time on his phone. I looked at mine he's right.

"Wow I didn't even realize it was getting late." I said surprised.

"Hey, noona can we exchanged numbers to contact you." Jisung asked me. Oh right I for got about that. We need to be in touched now.

"Sure here." I wrote my number down on a napkin and they all besides Felix took our their phones to add mine. I passed my phone around so they can enter theirs. Felix has mine from class.

"I'll text you more info about when we're on the survival show." Chan mentions picking up his coat.

I nod in response as we all got up and bundled up. it was fall time here in Korea and just like Chicago weather it's freakin crazy.

--------

"Is your dorm far from here? We can walk you? It's late after all." Hyunjin asked as being outside.

"You guys don't have too, it's a few blocks around the corner." I pointed to the direction.

"That's where our dorm is too." Seungmin mentions shivering from the cold.

"Come on guys we're walking our noona home." Minho locked arms with me. Taking me on ahead.

"You really don't have too." I tried to protest I didn't want to bother them.

"Nonsense. You shouldn't be walking by yourself out this late anyways. We gotta protect our sister from the bad guys." Chan announced.

“Oh, my knights and shinning armors.” I teased.

"Wait hyung!" Felix shouts, catching up to me and Minho and locked my other arm. I just smiled. What a bunch of dorks honestly. I’ve know I said it so many times but they are.

This is going to be fun!!! I love my new 9 brothers.

fe3h blogging 6 because organizational skills are for losers

oh hey yuri get to join chess club[3:24 PM]balthus DID go to the officers academy twice I’ve been trying to reconcile the route differences... it should be that everything that happens in a different route is also possible in the route you are looking at which ever one that may be. Now all there is is figuring out why those differences exist. or alternately to come up with a probability model to explain those differences. Let’s take the major difference of CF vs VW, AM, and SS. In CF unlike the other routes, Rhea is not captured, she organizes the knights and joins with Faerghus. In CF unlike other routes Byleth chooses to side with Edelgard and Rhea attacks them in the Holy Tomb, this is the only difference. Rhea is incredibly entitled when it comes to Byleth and so takes Byleth’s choice as a deep betrayal as the one who was supposed to be on her side chose not to be. In the battle of Garreg Mach, Rhea then also doesn’t entrust the Church to Byleth. Now how does this connect to Rhea avoiding capture in the battle? It could be she was more on guard after the Holy Tomb in BE, it could be that overall Rhea is likely captured but there is a chance she isn’t. Either way because she isn’t captured, she is there to rally and organize the knight’s of Seiros. In the other routes why didn’t Seteth do it? idk man. The Knights and Faerhgus together are better able to fend off the Empire and with the added security, keep Cornelia, the Agarthans, and Edelgard from framing Dimitri with assassination. Thus in CF Faerghus is in a more unified and powerful position with Rhea running the show. Never quite got why Garreg Mach was abandoned by all the sides given how much the characters talk about its strategic location etc. etc. In SS Rhea degenerates and causes the church to become a rampaging hivemind. Rhea is assumedly also in the palace in AM, but we do meet her in VW. This leads to a few possibilities, either she also dragon degenerated in those routes but the credits roll before we get to see that or she doesn’t. Either way she hold the potential to do so. This is probably the strongest probability argument in the game as we are shown no reason why she does in SS but does not in VW. Rhea is like a ticking time bomb. Maybe they should have blood minstrated like half the church. And then the Agarthans, are they just chilling around underground in AM? yeah, probably. They’re probably back to biding their time just like they have the past 1000 years.

I would like to talk about the three categories by which I evaluate how much I like a character in a series. 1. Personal preference: how much does the character's personality appeal to me on a personal level. Would I want to be friends with this person in real life. Do I just really wish they were real and want them in my life? 2. Character writing: how well written is the character. How good is their character arc? What is the grade of execution? 3. Role in the story: what do they bring to the series as a whole. If they are a villain, are they a good villain? Comic relief. The Bro character. No matter the archetype, how well is it done. What is their narrative and thematic significance.

Let's look at the 3 Lords of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Please note that due to the branching story line and the ability of the player to choose the cast, I will not be focusing on a character's role in story as much as I usually do. Edelgard Personal preference: low. Her personality clashes with mine Character writing: high. Three Houses characters in general are well written. Edelgard feels like a person, her behavior is internally consistent, she's always herself. One of her main flaws explored in the game is how Edelgard will tunnel-vision and double down on a decision, a path even when it is no longer the best option. Role: high. In Crimson Flowers and to a lesser extent Silver Snow Edelgard acts as the central character, she drives the story. As the villain in 3/4 routes, Edelgard is incredibly interesting, acting as a counter point to the other Lords as well as to Byleth in Silver Snow.

Dimitri Personal preference: low. At first I didn't care, and then he was just annoying. He was solidly #2 on my to-punch-list in Azure Moon after Gilbert. Character writing: high. Dimitri has the easiest to notice character arc in the game as it is the main focus of Azure Moon. As such the most time is spent on his arc and it is very strong. The journey Dimitri goes on as he struggles with himself and his trauma is well written, its only weakness being that it hinges on the player (me) caring about him (which I do not). Role is the story: medium high. the overarching story of the rightful king reclaiming his throne nicely parallels the story of Dimitri reclaiming himself. Thus the external journey mirrors the internal one. Azure Moon most strongly brings the human element to Three Houses and this is both a strength and a weakness.

Claude Personal preference: very high. I wish I had a Claude in my life. His personality meshes well with mine and my life would be enhanced with the addition of his company. When I say Claude is my favorite, this is the category I am usually talking about. Character writing: high. Claude has the subtlest characterization and character arc of the Lords, this is further obscured due to mischaracterization by the English localization team and English voice actor. The characters in Three Houses in general are brilliant and Claude is no exception. He's complex and multifaceted as any real person is, and seeing him grow in to his own in Verdant Wind is a beautiful thing. Role in story: high. Claude's role in the Three Houses is also very interesting, his objectives especially in White Clouds turns the game into a mystery thriller which is breaking edge for a Fire Emblem Game. Claude's background is also a bit different from the others and so following along his story, you are able to gain perspective and see all of Fodlan for what it really is.

Jeralt personal preference: meh writing: good role: dad

wait. wait. so are the 4 apostles are called saints in the intro, but were they also children of the goddess? so i can see indech and macuil dipping after the war of heroes and cethalenn went into a regenerative coma so that takes her and cihol out of the picture, but where were the 4 apostles during the war? and why does balthus' pants have a specially colored patch for his crotch. ... did balthus go to the academy twice? dimitri really went “i’d be nice to just sink into the earth you know” huh. i just started cindered shadows so i can't really comment but... the whole "abyss is necessary for garreg mach" is such horse shit. like oooohhhhh we must have an oppressed underclass to maintain our standard of living. why do the ashen wolves even exist. its not like there's a school down there and yet a bunch of people have uniforms. its not like they took some of the officer's academy uniforms either. why waste resources making custom uniforms? oh hey yuri get to joisn chess club. balthus DID go to the officers academy twice. I wonder what happened to Constance. Also hello??? Intsys you have a kidnapping and torture as backstory problem, especially when its happening to female characters. Hapi get’s kidnapped, tortured and then imprisoned, no wonder the life has left her eyes. Also I don’t trust this Aelfric dude. He set up the ashen wolves “house”, but wouldn’t those resources be better spent on food and medicine. nepotism ho! your parent were good so you must be too

anyone else find Jeralt and Sitri's relationship a little weird. Hundreds of years old dude romances incredibly sheltered 19 year old with little life experience. and she and alfric idolized Jeralt when they were young. sitri was born in 1139 and died 1159 from childbirth. I mean yeah Sitri's an adult and totally consenting and loving, and the relationship is pretty cute and sweet, but.... its kinda weird.... Like when you hear about a 30 year old dating a 60 year old, everyone's well into adulthood, they're consenting adults who can do whatever they want, i have no objections,... but its still kinda weird. WHAT'S WORSE IS THAT THEY DEVS HAD LITERALLY NO REASON TO DO THIS they could have made her any age they wanted to. She could have been 35. but nooooo they didn't do that

the part that bothered me about maneula's writing. Is how the writers talk down on her for having emotions. You see this strongly in the hanneman+manuela paralogue. Where they make her do something impulsive which has negative consequences, which is fair. But then the game punishes her for being too emotional. "being too emotional" now where have i heard that critique before. This is especially in contrast to the game praising hanneman's intellectual rationality. how do i say this... whenever hanneman and manuela argue the game always takes hanneman's side and is overly harsh on manuela. Oh hanneman is right that she should not have run off after a rumor about the death knight like that, but its the framing of the scene that bothers me.

the way people talk about the abyss reminds me of the goldfish bowl metaphor. the abyss provides sanctuary, but in it thye are also trapped. huh so edelgard doesn’t recognize dimitri. people sure do like aelfric, reminds me of a cult of personality, but it seems so genuine... A great rhea’s golems are back. they talk!! I was just joking about people’s souls being bound in there!!! aelfric is one of the cardinals!!!!! I've been trying to find these dude for months!!!!! you hear these lines going on and on about the cardinals. oh. he’s part of the seiros hivemind then. hey kids. if he’s a cardinal than the church probably already knows. this don’t tell the church stuff sounds like a trap. that letter is suspicious af. yuri clearly wants something, but what is he up to,,,

Yeah.. it really sounds like the 4 apostles were nabateans, but if that were so are constance, hapi, balthus, and yuri really descended from them? the 4 saints bloodlines in adrestia are from those gifted blood by the saints. yet i do believe the 4 apostles fled to different corners of fodlan, what remains in question is only if there in their new homes they gave blood (like rhea did to save jeralt), or actually did have kids.

i cant believe balthus got put on the bus via giant bird. ah so aelfric and yuri are cooperating with the agarthans. thats what they were up to. wow yuri really is fandom claude, i can still hear those idiots complaining that claude wasn’t up to anything and that he didn’t betray byleth. huh so yuri is struggling with split loyalty and the solution he came up with was to help aelfric but give byleth hints.

constance calling the holy mausoleum a wretch hovel in on par with sylvain calling the dining hall filthy. huh so that was what yuri was planning. wasn’t expecting the double agent ploy.

so this does not take away from aelfric's decisions, but if rhea hadn't been a coward and just buried sitri instead of keeping her is storage where anyone could find her, this never would have happened. who know's maybe aelfric would have still made horrible decisions, but not this one horrible decision.

wait wait wait. rhea, what happened last time you used the chalice to try and resurrect sothis. what beast was created then? wait wait. nemesis dies and sothis’ heat and bones were retrieved in 91. the blood chalice ritual happened in 185. That’s enough time for rhea to have conducted her first experiment implanting the creststone into someone and having them live out their full life.

prior to cindered shadows i thought claude had 2 given names much like many real world people of dual identity do (multiracial people, chinese americans, japanese americans, etc.), so claude is his name but he also has an almyran name. now though I am leaning towards the idea that claude is a name he took up upon entering fodlan given what he says to balthus at first and the presence of a claudia riegan in the past. from the feast of decadence: where is boramas? and i hope the bit about watching northern swordsmen ripped apart by wild animals at dinner was a play or something. why do books end up in the abyss anyways. why not burn them throughly. rhea certainly knows people have been living down there. i wonder who built abyss. its older than garreg mach for sure. real ironic how the blue lions idolize loog when he was an agarthan pawn not unlike edelgard. rhea's choice contributed to the power imbalance between sreng and duscur compared to faerghus chevalier became village elder and gave everyone blood during wars. half got crests half turned into demonic beasts. that solves that. 1/4 down

i can’t believe aubin almost died in a ditch before yuri’s mom saved them. well that’s one more person with a really long life span

balthus: describing "bashbros" me: its called a life partner. "Balthus became son-in-law to the great commander, Nader" ... what. also why is the balthus yuri pairen ending the only one balthus ends up broke and on the street in. also where's my holst supports. scratch that. WHERE IS HOLST. oh yeah and you all were crying about byleth potentially outliving everyone, well yuri does too

ashen wolves supports that should have happened. Balthus: Manuela. Yuri: Mercedes. Hapi: Ignatz, Petra, Claude. Constance: Lorenz

Also let judith be a playable character. Claude and balthus already have like half a support with her.

why do feel like yuri and sylvain would be a disaster. and disaster in that they'd hurt each other's feelings

claude whenever balthus opens his mouth: shut up shut up shut up. shut up and go away. goddess. please. no. i enjoy seeing claude annoyed more than i probably should

me taking the fe3h developers by the shoulders and shaking them furiously: WHY DON'T CLAUDE AND HAPI GET A SUPPORT. THEY EVEN BOTH HAVE CELESTIAL MOTIFS! claude would also empathize with hapi as an outsider of sorts, as well as both sharing a desire to explore the world. i think the riegan crest and timotheus crest got mixed up in development. in tarot readings the moon is associated with darkness, an unclear mind, madness, creativity etc. it suits "dark dragon" far more than "star dragon". but that doesn't explain why claude gets the unique combat art Fallen Star me one again taking the fe3h developers by the shoulders and shaking them furiously: WHY DON'T YURI AND ASHE HAVE A SUPPORT!! THE APPARENTLY ALREADY KNOW EACH OTHER. THEY HAVE SIMILAR BACKGROUNDS. THEY'RE BOTH FROM FAERGHUS. THEIR BATTLE DIALOG SAYS MEANS THEY WANT TO BE FRIENDS

No bathus/manuela support either LET THEM MAKE POOR LIFE CHOICES TOGETHER. Balthus can have a little milf, as treat

... yuri is very pretty in part 2

Edelgards biggest flaws are her desire for control and her stubborness or the way she will double down on a decision and refuse to budge. Claude's biggest flaws are his inability to trust, and showing his hand too late. A bit more on that last part. A large part of Claude's strategies involve downplaying his side and biding his time. This strategy is especially weak though to an aggressive opponent like Edelgard who can bulldoze him before he has time to play out his plan. Part of the problem is that Claude is very reactive but not very proactive (its one of the reasons I like pairing him with Edelgard and Petra). He won't just go for something the way Edelgard does, he's wait for the right opportunity. This difference you can also see in how the deal with the Church. Edelgard declares war on them because she thinks they are the root of Fodlan's social problems and need to be taken down. She makes a decision she believes in and readies herself for the consequences. Claude actually believes much of the same (The Church is the root of Fodlan's problems) but would much rather avoid those consequences (fall out with the Church). You see in Verdant Wind he will make use of the Church because the are useful. He's even willing to spout Church rhetoric and propaganda (Byleth as a Church symbol) if it suits his end goal of transferring power to an individual who will shape Fodlan's future to his liking (he does have an altruistic and humanitarian goal much like Edelgard). However in doing so he risks empowering the Church even more. In short Claude will put up a facade that he doesn't agree with on an ideals level and so is always in danger of that facade becoming real and failing his goals. yeah so claude character development has him learning to trust and being more proactive in his goals. so i like pairing him with characters that put him on a similar growth trajectory

wait how are the Fetters of Dromi (Aubin) and Vajra-Mushi (Chevalier) around simultaneously with Aubin and Chevalier. Aubin was last seen 20 years ago and the tales of elder giving blood don’t seem ancient, so were they recently killed?

ok if the vajra-mushi is a replica, what’s it a replica of? that implies an original. and its still able to turn people into demonic beasts. how????

unpopular opinion: I hate seteth. his face pisses me off and every time he opens his mouth I want to punch him. please die.

You know... i'd expected someone to have written a modern au of felix and sylvain being roommates with unresolved sexual tension.... but no its been 9 months and I haven't seen anything. Oh I've seen roommates where its like the new and uncomfortable experience of sharing space with someone you dont know and I've seen modern au where they are childhood friends. But i seriously have not seen the specific scenario where they are childhood friends AND roommates. Like... uuugh its just sylvain. But also uuggh its just sylvain?!? Maybe I'll just have to do it myself... but im no good at writing...

What if glenn was 160cm but the kids never noticed (except sylvain) because they're so much younger

I want a spin off fighting game starring ferdinand and caspar. Honestly i just wanted to see ferdinand get into a fistfight with someone like in his support

On a fandom level I think the golden deer are the least popular for a number of reasons:

1. some of the characters only reveal their depth in supports and paralogues. Or in other words you must seek out these character to get to know them. Ex: Lorenz, Leonie, Ignatz. I mean without doing their supports you'd never know that Ignatz is the smoothest out of the Golden Deer the the most likely to get a date. If Sylvain is a poser, Ignatz is the real deal 2. Related to the above the writing sometimes relies too heavily on a character gimmick. Ex: Raphael, and Lysithea to a degree 3. Compared to other houses there are less established dynamics. Other characters (Linhardt and Caspar, BL childhood friend squad, etc.) can play off of each other and this can make them more emotionally accessible to a player. In the beginning especially the golden deer act more like co-workers than friends, they are the least cohesive as a house (which means their growth is that much more delicious). 4. the golden deer route in general is less popular and some characters don't appear in other routes so the sheer amount of exposure these characters get is less than other houses. a lot of people in the "fandom" have only played one or 2 routes and those usually include either azure moon or crimson flower/silver snow. people will also just delete or add things to characters.

OK Jp audio thoughts: tiny grandma sothis Alois is gravelier and yells a lot I've been replaying the line where claude giggles in the jp audiio. How do i record audio ignatz is such a BABY in the japanese version. Like a small bunny Edelgard sounds more princessy Claude is more light hearted, less sassy more... boyish? like that one old school boy character trope that used to be a main character thing and is now more a side character thing eng dimitri more yell-y and feral. jp dimitri is a lot more subdued and dead inside. but the delivery of the lines makes what he is saying all the more disturbing. dissonant serenity.

your path lies across my grave is such a raw line

Why did yuri get a different part 2 sprite. he should age the same rate jeralt did. And in his paired ending with byleth? He apparently looks about the same after decades

Hilda and catherine would be EXCELLENT war masters if the devs weren't sexist

So almyra's big. We don't know how big. Fodlan is 2/3 of europe and almyra is bigger so i imagine there's a diverdity of biomes. I imagine the south coast is mediterranian. But that hinges on how subtropical adrestia is. Medditerranian climates are most common at 30-40 lattitude. The map of almyra we can see on the map is the same lattitude as faerhgus. This could be the greenest part of Almyra. I imagine almyra has both hot and cold deserts with a large plain covering the center. The rest would be scrubland/chaperral. All we know is that claude grew up somewhere with no big trees. I imagine that almyran government is more meriocratic than fodlan but that may vary region to region. I have an idea for both a centralized and decentralized almyra. Each regions leader is like the strongest most organized person around. A bit of nepotism may be involved. The exception would be the coast region which is more sedentary (some parts of almyra are semi nomadic) and may have a republic. Decentralized almyra would work kinda like the eu or us with seperate nations and a mediator for when almyra needs to act as a whole. That mediator aids negotions between regions and keeps things together. Mediator would be a council/appointed position. In a centralized almyra there still wouldn't be a monarachy. The king would choose a sucessor. So the king's kid would have a better chance than anyone but its no garuntee. I like the idea that like the 30 closeat relatives has a last one standing system as part of the selection system. This would allow for a dynastic style if ruling where there's a ruling clan but not direct line of descent

Everyone keeps drawing older felix with long hair but I'm half convinced that 3 years post game he just lops,it off one day or gets a buzzcut

So a lot of people including me have long suspected Claude had an Almyran name and the validation right now just feels so great. Khalid! Given his dialog in cindered shadows I think its more likely Khalid is the name his parents gave him and Claude is the name he took up upon coming to Fodlan

Things have never been easy for Claude, he says in his s support that he's going, to do it (the whole game/war) all over again. It's heavily implied that things to not end well for Claude outside of VW. i don't think the Almyrans would value a surrender to a fodlander tho. Claude in VW proves his competence as a military commander and leader by controlling all of fodlan. Its stated in some of his paired endings that the current king has some say in who the next king is as Claude had to earn his father's approval to ascend the throne. Don't forget that the general Almyran populace hates Claude. He has to prove himself by their standards before any respect is given and in SS/CF/AM he doesn't do that. Remember that the Fodland stereotype is of cowards and that Almyra values spectacles of strength/fighting prowess over tactical efficiency (invading fodlan's throat isn't for the purpose of gaining land/etc. its for the warriors to show off how strong they are), so they wouldn't value strategically weakening your nation (leicester) to stave off imperial invasion, to them that just looks like cowardice and incompetance. not only that he endangered and wasted Almyran soldiers in fighting a foreign war. Remember that no one really knows about Claude's plans outside of VW, he keeps his cards (too) close to his chest, and in non-VW routes the facade of weakness becomes a reality and all his schemes crumble. and he has little to show for his time in fodlan. Claude is less likely to experience character growth outside of VW, but I think there is potential for Claude's character growth outside of VW. One reason for this I'm just not a fan of Byleth's dating sim powers where everyone just falls head over heels for them. For every character and especially the lords, Byleth acts as a catalyst for the character's growth, but Claude (of the lords) is the least dependent on Byleth so I do believe he could have found some of the connections seen in VW if not to that extent. (also I'm a sucker for found family)[4:22 PM]But Byleth does act as the heart and glue of the golden deer so things wouldn't be that great for Claude and co

So we cam see both turkic and persian influences in almyra but I've always wondered at the balance. From the turkic side we have the warrior culture and horse riding. This is also where my speculations on a nomadic society and non monarchy forms of government come from. Also note turkic (central asia, like the mongols) and not turkish (one of the turkic ethnicities). On the other side is ancient persia which was a center of science, technology and learning, a materially wealthy empire with imperial dynasties. These are very different and so balancing headcanons has always been challenging to honor both sides. You can see people are all over the spectrum in fandom.

Me shaking dorothea by the shoulders: YOU ARE VALID. I AM PROUD OF WHAT YOU HAVE ACCOMPLISHED. EAT THE RICH

im a caught between the dual desires of seeing sylvain succeed at something and be really cool, and seeing sylvain publicly make a fool of himself. sylvain miserable for mundane reasons is such a good look. I pin Sylvain in a headlock and force 2 gallons of respect women juice down his throat

In any universe. Claude's weekly schedule would fill me with terror.

Leonie and dorothea both have "I know a guy" vibes

A while ago I complained that the fodlan calendar doesn’t make sense. Why does the year begin on month 4? Well I recently got around to reading through the abyss library and it confirms that fodlan used to be on the gregorian calendar with months 1-12 lining up with our january-december which in a lot of countries are just month/moon 1-12 and then seiros and the church brought in a new calendar system (imperial year and "___ Moon" naming system). so combined with the other hints from the agarthans (un symbol, ICBMs, etc.), pretty much confirms that fodlan is indeed a post apocalyptic modern world. So the weird calendar system DOES have an in universe justification!

Wendip Week 2018 Part 4: Date Night

Hey guys, sorry for not posting these here during Wendip week. Let me give you a run-down of the background: I made my Wendip Week in context of the Kamen Rider Weird series I’m writing, which takes place in the future of SuperGroverAway’s universe (with ddp456 influence….yes, I had permission from them both). As a result, the main characters - including Phoebe, their daughter - from my series are co-hosts for this week. I’ll post more of Wendip Week here, but for those of you who want to read the main story, follow me on fanfiction.net or leave a guest review. Now, then, here’s part 4 of Wendip Week 2018:

#############################################################################################################

“You know, Phoebe…” Ken got up and paced the room a bit. “Your mom, well, I’ve noticed something about her.” He was trying as hard as he could to word the next thought carefully.

“Yeah?” Phoebe said, looking up at him with an inquisitive gaze. “Come on, just say how you feel.”

“She’s…not really the mushy romantic type.”

Phoebe relaxed and leaned back. “I mean, yeah, I’ll give you credit there…”

“It honestly feels like Dipper is more into the grand gestures, ya know?”

Phoebe cocked an eyebrow. “You’re reaching a bit there…that’s kinda harsh. Mom’s done romantic stuff.”

“Sure, like burning her hair on a candle when trying to make a romantic dinner?”

“And Dad once got bitten by a bunch of doves trying to set up an anniversary surprise, what’s your point?”

Ken sighed in mock resignation. “Oh, fine. My point was different anyway. I was just going to say that when she DOES go for something, she goes big. I’m just surprised how long it takes sometimes…”

“Wait, are you talking about…” Phoebe groaned in mock frustration. “You just LOVE talking about yourself, huh?”

“Well, sure, but also blame it on the watch.” Ken pointed. “I’ve been getting messages from Castle that if he’s spending a fortnight writing these, he’s getting some worldbuilding out of it.”

“What’s worldbuilding?”

Ken threw up his hands. “I dunno, I just work here….So a week after Dipper’s anniversary surprise - yes, the one we talked about last year - Wendy sprung something on a similar scale: after she got a push…”

###############################################################################################################

Ken woke up in a hammock outside of the Mystery Shack, confused for all the world as to what he was doing there. Then he remembered - after cleaning the bunker of the anniversary party from last night, he had crashed there to avoid having to ride home so exhausted. He went into the kitchen to see Wendy sipping a cup of coffee by herself. “Oh, um, good morning.”

Wendy looked up. “Oh, hey Ken. Slept well?” Her face had a smile, but her eyes seemed…off.

“Yeah, thanks. Um, you got anymore coffee?”

“Sure, man. Help yourself.” Wendy nodded to the kitchen counter, where the pot was still steaming. Ken filled up a mug and wordlessly sat across from the only occupant in the room.

After a moment of silence, Ken decided to start. “So, um… surprised to see you up so early.”

Wendy chuckled a bit. “Well, I’m sure Dipper’s sleeping well mostly because of the planning he had to do the past few weeks. Doofus gets like that sometimes - works on what he considers important tirelessly, then crashes. Ask him about your belt sometime if you don’t believe me.”

“Oh, I believe you.” Ken leaned forward a bit. “But that’s one adult out of all the ones that you somehow beat to the table. I don’t think the problem is with them. I think something’s bothering you.”

Wendy sighed. “Man, this is why I talk to you like and adult and asked that you call us all by first name. You somehow get us too well.”

“Quick study, I guess….so, what’s eating you?”

Wendy leaned back and looked up in the sky. “Want to guess what Dipper and I did for our first anniversary?”

“Wait, so a year after the bunker or…?”

Wendy laughed. “Oh no, sorry. I meant our actual anniversary a year into being married. Sorry, we didn’t start counting from earlier on until, well, later…on.”

Ken shrugged. “It’s fine. But humor me, what did you do?”

“Chinese takeout and a bad movie. I kid you not. And it was MY idea too. After Dipper had tred to do this whole thing with a bunch of doves…”

Ken snorted. “In an apartment. I don’t know what he expected to happen.”

“Well, yeah, he wasn’t exactly his smarter self that day. Point is, though, he always worked to make our anniversaries special. Now I wonder why I never seem to. We have a date night this Saturday, and yet all I can think of is what B-rated movie to watch.” Wendy kicked the corner of the table lightly.

Ken shook his head. “Wendy, if I may…you’re not seeing the big picture here.”

Wendy looked up, a bit of fire in her eyes that suggested the next words had to be carefully chosen. “How so?”

Ken smiled, not being put off at all by the look. “I was part of yesterday’s event quite last minute, and yet I was able to see one thing very clearly. Dipper loves you, he loves everything about you, and he loves every minute he gets to spend with you.”

Wendy calmed down a bit as the truth of his words washed over her. “So what, then? I’ve hit peak? No reason to do anything special for him?”

“Not exactly. I’d say the best thing you can do is keep making good memories with him - whatever that means.” Ken got up. “Want some eggs?” He said, getting some out of the fridge.

Wendy drummed her fingers on the table as Ken got to work with a pan. “You know what, Ken? You’re right…except for one thing…”

Ken turned around. “Which is?”

“He doesn’t love every moment we’ve had together….because some of the ones from our first summer together, I ruined by doing the wrong thing. I do need to keep making new memories, but partly to make some of those right. But one in particular I need your help. Heck,” she smiled. “I could use the entire family on this, but at the very least I need you, Finn, Soos, and the Shack.”

Ken looked at her with confusion. “The Shack?”

Wendy chuckled. “Mabel ever told you of the first big dance party we held here?”

###############################################################################

A few days later, Dipper was returning to his room for some rest when he noticed a note on his pillow. “Wait, what’s this?” With his trademark curiosity, he opened it up to find a very familiar hand:

Hey, Dork,

I know we had plans for Sunday’s date night, but I have another idea - one I don’t want to spoil by looking at you as I give you this:

As Dipper’s eyes lowered down the page, he gasped at what he saw - a black bowtie. He was slightly confused - “Have I ever worn this outside of Northwest events?” In his heart he knew the answer, but…he shook his head as if to dispel those thoughts and kept reading:

Wear this and your normal clothes that day, and don’t cancel the checkup on the manotaur caves - just be back at 7:00. I know you’ll be tempted to try and find out what happens, but don’t get itchy over this - just trust me.

Wendy

Dipper chuckled. “I don’t know what to expect, but something tells me I’ll enjoy and regret it at the same time…”

#####################################################################################

6:59 PM on Sunday…

Finn looked at Ken as the two were in place. “Well, we’re almost on. You ready?”

Ken brandished the sticks in his hands. “Twice in eight days. I should get paid for this.”

Finn grinned. “Well, well, the superhero is getting greedy.”

“Quiet, doods.” Soos said from his position, even as the two could not see him. “He’ll be here soon.”

#############################################################################

After a long day and even a shower in the bunker - years of marriage taught a man to not interrupt the plans of your wife - Dipper stood in front of the door to the Mystery Shack, clutching his bowtie in his hand. Despite his wife’s reassurances in the notes, he had to control every muscle fiber in his body to keep from itching. Instead, he simply tied the black fabric over the orange t-shirt, wishing he had a mirror to make sure it was straight. Of course, he caught himself thinking this way and began chiding himself for that instead.

“Easy there, Dipper…it’s alright…” he muttered as his hand reached for the doorknob. “Wendy had a good reason for doing all this…you’re acting like you’re twelve again…” And with that he opened the door and was taken aback by the scene.

The entire main room of the Shack had been cleared out and replaced with a purple dance floor and strobe lights. Soos played a techno sound off his favorite synthesizer as Dipper walked in, causing the young man to notice that Soos had gone back to wearing the green T-shirt he had as handyman rather than his modern Mystery Host suit. Dipper couldn’t help but say aloud. “OK….maybe I am twelve again.”

Out of the corner came his favorite voice. “Depends. Do I look fifteen again?”

Dipper turned about to see what was probably the least surprising thing that night. There she stood, his Wendy, having gone through all the work of putting this together and yet still wearing her work boots, flannel green, a lumberjack cap, and a black bowtie matching his own…again, like that night.

Seeing her and her plan come to fruition, whatever nervousness Dipper had before coming in was gone, and he found himself grinning as he replied “You kinda do, lumberjack queen.” But then he quickly became overawed again. “You did all this for me?”

Wendy smirked, “Well it was my idea, but come on. We’re kids again, remember? Do you honestly think that I lifted a finger in doing all this?”

“Boom!” Mabel came out shooting a confetti gun with a giant POOF! “You’re not the only one who gets to use family resources for romance, bro-bro. Decorating extraordinaire Mabel, at your service!”

Dipper looked around as the rest of the family gathered - Melody, Ford, Stan, even teenage Gladys and Phoebe all coming close to the dance floor but not stepping on. After all, they all knew this night was about them.

Dipper chuckled. “God, other than the crowd…with you and me dancing, this is almost exactly like how I imagined that night going.”

Wendy grinned mischievously. “Well, one other big exception. Soos isn’t a DJ for all of tonight…he’s just an MC.”

Dipper’s eyebrow twitched in surprise. “Wait, then who - ?”

Soos interrupted by speaking into the mic “Ladies and Gentlemen, your cover band for tonight, please welcome Two Tune Monty!”

With that and some applause from the family, the makeshift curtain behind him dropped to reveal Ken and Finn behind the drums and guitar, ready to rock on. After a quick nod, Ken started drumming out the beat.

Dipper looked at Wendy in mock disgust as he said, “Fall Out Boy’s “Dance Dance”? Really?”

Wendy laughed. “Be honest, dork. It wouldn’t really be us if there wasn’t something either unconventional or straight out of a B-movie. This felt like both.”

“Oh well…Wanna dance?” Dipper graciously held out his hand. Wendy took it with a smile.

Ken: She says she’s no good with words, but I’m worse

Barely stuttered out a joke of a romantic stuck to my tongue

As the two tried couples dancing to a song not meant for it, Dipper turned red upon realizing how true those words had been.

Ken: Weighed down with words too overdramatic

Tonight it’s “it can’t get much worse”, Versus “no one should ever feel like”

“Regretting this yet?” Wendy grinned playfully, thinking of how overdramatic Dipper could be..

“A little…but you gotta try harder than that.” Dipper said.

Finn: I’m two quarters and a heart down

And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds

These words are all I have so I write them

So you need them just to get by

Dipper suddenly started spinning with Wendy across half the floor, earning quite the whoop from the twin sister watching it all. As Finn finished the verse and entered the guitar riff, Wendy pulled Dipper close and whispered “Got a list?”

Dipper just grinned. “Oh you,” before dipping her down low.

Finn and Ken: Dance, dance

We’re falling apart to halftime

Dance, dance

And these are the lives you love to lead

Finn: Dance, this is the way they’d love

If they knew how misery loved me

Somehow they both knew exactly how to mock falling apart to halftime - by separating and literally almost falling to the floor before grabbing each other for support. They pulled back to each other, nearly bumping heads before letting go and solo dancing next to each other, just enjoying each other’s company.

“This is WAY more fun than if we did this back then.” Dipper said as he grooved.

“Shut up and dance,” Wendy mocked.

“Wrong song,” Dipper just laughed.

As the boys entered the second verse, the overhead lights turned off as strobe lights started their magic.

Ken: You always fold just before you’re found out

Drink up it’s last call last resort

But only the first mistake and

“You getting out of work at the Shack…” Dipper was all too happy to use that as he spun his wife.

Wendy knocked his hat off and pushed his hair back while pulling him close. “You showing me this little gift…”

Finn and Ken: I’m two quarters and a heart down

And I don’t want to forget how your voice sounds

These words are all I have so I write them

So you need them just to get by

Finn: Why don’t you show me a little bit of spine

You’ve been saving for his mattress, love

Dipper suddenly found himself letting go of Wendy and dancing perfectly, his feet moving in ways that he did not seem to control. “What is happening?!”

Wendy laughed. “Just roll with it, I guess.”

Finn and Ken: Dance, dance

We’re falling apart to halftime

Dance, dance

And these are the lives you love to lead

Finn: Dance, this is the way they’d love if they knew how misery loved me

As the guitar did a bit of a solo, Dipper gulped. Wendy smiled. “Even on our date night you’re worried about family. Don’t worry, I gave them a censored version”

Dipper grinned like an idiot. “Wendy, thanks for this. This is the second time this summer you’ve closed a gap in my soul from that first year.”

Wendy joked, “Only two times? Gotta try harder.” before kissing his cheek. “You’re welcome doofus.”

Finn and Ken (skipping a few bars): Dance, dance

We’re falling apart to halftime

Dance, dance

And these are the lives you love to lead

Finn: Dance this is the way they’d love (Ken: way they’d love)

Finn and Ken: Dance this is the way they’d love if they knew how misery loved me

Finn: Dance, dance

Dance, dance

###############################################################################################

“Well, not to boost your ego,” Phoebe chuckled as the story came to a close. “But you two did a nice job.”

“Thanks. Although, it kinda goes to show, I feel like a lot of romantic moments and dates involve family being there when it comes to your clan. Kinda like that whole first anniversary.” Ken remarked, leaning back.

Phoebe shrugged. “Mom in some ways doesn’t love Dad just for himself. She also loves everything about him, including the other people close in his life, like aunt Mabel.”

Ken groaned. “Did you have to word it like that?”

Phoebe shot back. “Would you rather I reveal the verse of the song you and Finn conveniently cut out? Something about mattresses and…”

Ken looked at where he imagined a camera would be and started gesturing with his hand. “Cut the feed, cut the feed!”

My POV

My eyes fluttered open to the setting sun in the sky. Winter time was coming and the days were shorter. After stretching my limbs, I looked over at the clock on my bedside table and saw that the time was 6:13 PM.

“Shit! Harry wake up!” I shook my sleeping husband next to me before throwing off the blankets and rushing to our walk-in closet.

Harry and I got invited to dinner at Anne’s house. We haven’t seen Anne for months and were excited to finally see her. Gemma, her husband, and their little boy were also going to be there.

We were told to be there at around 6:30 and we already were running late. We had just gotten to London after many weeks in LA. Jetlag was still killing us so we decided to take a little nap and of course, we overslept. Anne was never picky about us being late, especially in laid-back situations like this, but we still didn’t want to be late.

Quickly reaching into my dresser drawer that held all my clean socks and panties, I grabbed the first ones I saw. They were black and lace. I then grabbed a random tshirt and a pair of jeans. Rushing back to our room to see if Harry had gotten up yet, my clothes were threatening to fall from my arms. Harry was still snuggled up under the covers but in a different position than when I last saw him.

“Harry! Get up! We’re gonna be late!” I yelled him as I began to slip off my clothes.

“Wha’?” he squinted, his voice deep and raspy.

“We have dinner with your mom tonight remember?” I told him, slipping on my black, lace panties.

“Fuck.” he mumbled to himself, throwing the covers off his body and racing to the closet.

I quickly finished getting dressed before rushing to the bathroom to at least make myself look presentable. I sat at my vanity, put on a little bit of mascara and fixed up my hair just as Harry walked out of the closet, standing in front of the mirror and running his fingers through his curly locks.

“Ready, babe?” he asked.

“Yeah.” I mumbled, doing my finishing touches, “Let’s go.“

“Ya look pretty.” he smiled at me as we made our way downstairs.

“Awh thanks, baby. You do too.” I grinned.

Once we made it downstairs, we quickly slipped on our shoes and grabbed our things before hopping into the car. Once we were settled and on the road, he placed a hand on my thigh lovingly as we listened to the radio together.

Soon enough we made it to Anne’s house. We were about 15 minutes late but we knew Anne wouldn’t mind that much. Walking up to the front door, we knocked and she answered shortly after.

“Hi! Come in! I’ve missed you all!” she greeted both of us as we walked through the door.

“Anne, hey! We’ve missed you too!” I greeted back.

“Sorry we’re late. We took a little nap and didn’t wake up to our alarm.” I explained.

“Oh, don’t worry about it. Food’s not even done yet.” she smiled.

“Oh good.” I chuckled softly.

“Hi, baby.” she greeted her son sweetly, pulling him into a tight hug.

“Hi mum.” he smiled back, hugging her tightly and giving her a sweet kiss on the cheek.

“How are you all? Doing well?” she asked as we took off our shoes.

“We’re good. How are you mum?” Harry answered for both of us.

“’m good. ’m doing well.“

“Good.” I smiled before we all walked into the living room where Gemma and her family was sitting.

Gemma’s little boy was sitting on the floor, playing with some of his trains while Gemma and her husband, Michal.

“Hey, buddy! I missed you!” I cooed to my almost 4-year-old nephew.

“Aunt (Y/N)!” He yelled, running over to me and giving me a quick hug before he gave Harry one.

“Hey, bub.” Harry smiled at him before he ran over to his trains again, getting distracted.

“Hey Gem!” I greeted my sister-in-law with a big hug while Harry greeted Michal with a “bro hug”.

“Hey, (Y/N). How’vya been!” She asked.

“Good. ’m glad t’ be back in London. It’s so cold here though.”

“It is. It was like 15 degrees yesterday. It was awful.” She giggled back in response.

“Hey Michal, how are you?” I greeted, pulling him into a hug as Harry greeted his sister.

“Good. ’m good.” He smiled.

“Oh good.” I smiled.

After everyone greeted everyone, we all sat down on the couch.

“The food ’s almost ready so we’ll eat soon.” Anne announced.

We all began to catch up waiting for the food to be done. It was so great to finally see Harry’s family again. We haven’t seen them in what feels like forever and both Harry and I are very happy to see them again.

Minutes into our conversation, the oven dinged.

“Ooh, I think that’s the bread.” Anne exclaimed, standing up and making her way to the kitchen.

“’m gonna go help your mom.” I told Harry.

“Kay, babe.”

“I am too.” Gemma added before we both stood up and made our way to the kitchen to help Anne with the rest of the cooking.

Harry’s POV

Both the girls left, leaving me and Michal. We continued to talk before we heard Gemma yell, “Food’s ready!“

We both stood up and Michal grabbed his little boy, Tommy, before we made our way to the kitchen. As we walked into the kitchen, the delicious smell of Mum’s famous dinner filled my nose as I saw the three girls working away at getting everything set up.

"Can yeh make T’s plate fo’ me, babe?” Gemma asked her husband as she turned off the stove.

“Sure."

"I’m getting the plates right now.” (Y/N) mentioned.

As she reached up to grab a stack of plates from the cabinet, her shirt rose, showing a bit of skin. You could see the elastic band of her black, lacey panties. It wasn’t just any pair of panties. It was the vibrating panties I bought to punish her a few weeks ago. She must’ve accidentally put them on. This could be fun. Remembering when I put the remote in her purse because I didn’t want to hold it, I prayed that it was still in there and she hadn’t taken it out. Walking up behind her, I slipped my fingers past the waistband of her jeans and pulled them up for her so her panties weren’t showing anymore.

“What’re you-” she turned around and gave me a confused look and I answered her before she could finish her question.

“Could see your underwear.” I muttered to her.

“Oh, thanks babe.” she giggled turning around and continuing what she was doing.

“Also, your bum looks good in those jeans.” I leaned down to whisper in her ear.

“Stop!” she whisper/yelled to me, smacking my arm playfully.

I chuckled at her response.

I sneaked out of the kitchen and went to find her purse. Digging through it, a miracle happened and it was still in the front pocket right where I had put it a couple weeks ago. Smirking to myself, I slipped the remote into my pocket, preparing for a fun night.

My POV

Everyone was finally settled at the dinner table, digging into our delicious food.

“Ooh, Anne, this ’s good.” I complimented as flavor flooded my taste-buds and everyone agreed with me.

“Is it really? I was afraid I cooked it too long.” she admitted.

“No, it’s really good.” Michal added.

A new conversation began to bloom as we ate. In the middle of dinner, a buzzing began in between my legs. My eyes widened for a split second as I realized what was happening. Did I put on the vibrating pair of underwear and did Harry know?

I have a pair of panties that look just like the vibrating ones and I guess I didn’t realize I picked up the ones with the bullet vibrator in them and not my regular black, lacey ones. How could I not feel the vibrator though? I guess I was too rushed to notice because I didn’t want to be late. Fuck, I’m in for a wild ride tonight.

Giving Harry a side glare, he smirked softly. I noticed that his hand was in his pocket. He was definitely behind this… But how did he get the remote and how did he know I was wearing them? Wait, he must’ve noticed when I reached for the plates. Fuck, but again, how did he get the remote?

“How did you get the remote?” I mumbled to him in the middle of the conversation.

“Found it in your purse.” He mumbled back and I took another bite of my chicken.

The intensity of the vibrations increased and I could feel a moan wanting to escape. Grabbing my glass of water, I took a sip and swallowed it down. I continued to eat, trying not to focus on my growing orgasm.

Taking another sip of my water, he turned up the intensity and my breath hitched in my throat, causing me to almost choke on my water that was sliding down my throat.

“Yeh alright, (Y/N)?” Michal grinned at me.

“Yeah, just went down the wrong pipe.” I chuckled back, feeling my cheeks burn a soft shade of pink.

He nodded and smiled. The conversation continued and I was praying no one ever noticed a thing. We continued to eat and talk while I suffered quietly. I felt the urge to moan but I knew I couldn’t make even the little sound. We weren’t in a crowded restaurant like last time so every tiny noise I make would be heard.

Placing a hand on his jean-clad thigh, I dug my fingernails into his skin, silently telling him to turn it off. Just like last time, he didn’t answer me, just turned up the intensity of the vibrations to the highest setting.

Gemma was talking about some kid at Tommy’s preschool just before Anne asked, “So, when am I getting a grandchild from you two, hmm?"

I was very taken back by her question, especially because of what was happening under the table. Did she know?

"Mmm, we’ve thought about it, haven’t we Harry?” I stared at my husband, wide-eyed and a fake smile on my lips.

“Yeah, plenty of times. We’d like to have kids someday. Maybe we’ll make one tonight, who knows?” Harry shrugged and I turned my head swiftly and glared at him. Everyone giggled at my reaction.

“Okay, none of that, Harry.” Anne scolded, shaking her head at her immature, grown-man son.

That conversation resided and a new one started. As time went on, my orgasm got closer and closer. Was he really gonna make me cum right now? He’s fucking insane.

I stuffed my mouth with food, in fear that a moan would escape. I stared at my plate and refused to make eye-contact with anyone, in fear that they would notice. My orgasm exploded and pleasure filled my body. My every muscle clenched and my thighs shook. My fingers dug roughly into the skin of his wrist. I’d be surprised if I didn’t draw a little blood. It was so hard to try to act like I wasn’t literally fucking orgasming right in front of everyone.

Fortunately, I made it through with no noise escaping my mouth. I swallowed down my food as my orgasm faded away. I was just praying that no one noticed. I would be mortified. I slowly let out a soft breath, trying not to breathe too heavily in my aftermath.

I glared at him with sharp eyes and he smirked smugly back at me. The rest of dinner went smoothly. We continued to talk and laugh. Once we all were finished eating, I was the first one to stand up.

“Dinner was really good, thanks, Anne.” I smiled as I stood up, taking my plate with me while everyone agreed and mocked my actions.

Walking into the kitchen, I set my plate into the sink, grabbing everyone else’s from their hands and placing them in the sink as well. I turned on the water and soaked all the plates so they would be easier to clean later.

“Thank you fo’ doin’ that, (Y/N). I appreciate it.” Anne thanked me.

“You’re welcome.” I smiled.

We all went back into the family room and sat down on the couches, continuing our random conversation. About halfway through our conversation, I felt the buzzing again. Really? And we’re not under a table so any movement I made with my legs would be noticeable.

I looked at Harry and gave him a sad look, hoping he’ll feel bad and turn it off so I won’t embarrass myself in front of his family. I was really close to his family but if they found out what was really happening. I’d never leave my house.

He decided to be a dick and giggle at me, pressing a sweet kiss to my forehead. I rolled my eyes and looked away. As the pleasure increased, I felt the moans begin to want to come out. I bit my lip and tried to speak as little as possible. I grabbed the pillow that was set next to me, placing it on my lap and squeezing it hard. My orgasm was quickly rising and I bobbed my legs up and down, trying to hide the fact that they were shaking immensely.

“(Y/N), are you okay? Why do you keep doing that with your legs?” Gemma giggled.

“My feet keep falling asleep. I’m trying to wake it up.” I giggled back, lying straight through my teeth.

“Oh okay.” she nodded.

The conversation continued from there.

“(Y/N)! Play twains wi’ me!” Tommy demanded, jumping up and down in front of me.

“Okay, babe.” I smiled and he grabbed my hand, pulling me.

“Turn it off!” I mouthed to Harry, glaring at him roughly.

He obeyed my actions and the vibrations stopped. I sighed softly and tried to ignore the huge throbbing between my legs. I sat down on the floor next to Tommy and played his game with him; being engaged in the conversation as well.

After a while, Tommy stood up and rushed over to Gemma, “Mummy, where my iPad?"

Gemma didn’t answer him, just reaching over and grabbing his iPad off of the table, handing it to him.

"T'ank you.” he hummed softly, grabbing it from her hand.

Tommy ran over to Harry, sitting next to him on the couch. Beginning to show Harry his learning game, I stood up and sat back down on the couch next to them, realizing that he wasn’t interested with me anymore.

The night when on and I occasionally tickled or teased Tommy, causing him to giggle as he played his word game and me and Harry helped him pass some levels while all the adults talked about something random.

“Michal, we gotta get goin’. Tommy’s bedtime is soon.” Gemma told her husband.

“Okay, babe.” Michal responded.

Our conversation slowly ended after that. Soon enough we all were at the door, saying our goodbyes to Gemma, Michal, and Tommy.

“Bye Tommy, I’ll come see you soon, okay?” I said to my nephew in Gemma’s arms.

“And pway twains?” he asked adorably.

“Of course.” I smiled.

“Bye Gem, I’ll see ya soon.” I smiled as she stepped out the door.

“Bye.” she smiled.

“Bye Michal!” I smiled at him as he followed Gemma.

“Bye!” he grinned. They made their way to the car and left before Harry, Anne, an I went back inside. Sitting back down on the couch, we carried on our conversation. Luckily, throughout the rest of the night, there were no vibrations between my legs. It was getting late and it was time for us to go.

“Thank you for everything Anne.” I smiled, giving her one last hug.

“Of course, anytime.” she smiled.

“Thank you.” Harry hummed, hugging her after me.

“Come see me again, yeah?” she told us as we stepped out the door.

“Of course.” I giggled.

“Bye. I love you both.” she smiled as we began our journey to the car.

“We love you too, Mum.” Harry answered for both us.

We hopped in the car, turning it on and doing our final waves before driving off.

“Again? Really? What the fuck is wrong with you?” I yelled at him once we were on the road and out of sight of our family, “I didn’t even do anything to you either!”

He giggled as I shoved him gently when we stopped at a stop sign.

“Really, why did you do that! That was even harder than when we were in the restaurant!” I yelled at him, pretending to be angry.

“I wanted t’ have fun. I like seeing you suffer like that. It’s sexy.” he teased.

“You’re fucking rude!” I yelled again, slumping back in my seat and crossing my arms, trying not to giggle.

The whole car ride there weren’t many words spoken. Only a few. Harry sang along to the radio while I stared out the window, admiring everything we passed. Soon enough we got home and pulled into our garage. After Harry turned the car off and unlocked the door, I took off my seatbelt and opened the door, getting out with my purse in my hands; Harry followed shortly after me.

Walking through the door, we both slipped off our shoes in silence. Turning around, we made eye-contact and I narrowed my eyes at him jokingly.

“That’s so fuckin’ hot.” he shook his head before taking a step towards me. Cupping my face, he crashed his soft lips onto mine.

“I hate you so much.” I mumbled against his lips.

He chuckled softly before moving his hands down to cup the back of my thighs, acknowledging for me to jump onto his waist. I jumped up and wrapped my legs around his waist.

Attaching my lips to his neck, I pressed sweet, open-mouthed kiss to his soft skin as he made his way upstairs to our shared bedroom. Once we made it to the room, he walked in and closed the door behind him with his clothed foot. He set me down on my own two feet, pressing me up against the grey, painted wall. One of his arms were pressed against the wall next to the side of my head while the other was wrapped around my waist, cupping the small of my back. His lips moved against mine while his tongue explored my mouth. My hands ran through his soft hair as his fingertips skimmed the hem of my shirt. Harry pulled up my shirt and I lifted my arms, letting him take off my top. He tossed it to the side and smirked at the sight of the swell of my breasts peaking out of my plain, black bra.

He hummed, reaching behind my back and unclasping my bra. Letting the straps slide down my arms, Harry took my bra, dropping it with my shirt. My breasts were revealed to him and the cool air. I felt my nipples harden as he cupped both breasts, massaging them gently in his big palms.

“s’ fuckin’ pretty.” he grinned at me.

Blushing softly, I leaned in and pressed my lips to his prickly jaw. Chuckling softly, he wrapped his arms around me again. Grabbing onto the hem of his green shirt, he reached behind his back and grabbed onto the collar of his shirt. Pulling it up and over his head, he tossed it with my clothes, leaving us both shirtless.

Smiling softly, I ran my fingernails down his warm, tattooed torso. I saw goosebumps rise on his skin. As my fingers lowered, I traced down his happy trail before reaching the hem of his tight jeans. I unbuttoned his jeans before unzipping them, getting ready to slid them down his legs.

“Wait-” Harry mumbled, digging into his pocket and pulling out the black remote that controlled my panties before tossing it onto the bed behind him, “we’ll use that later."

"Nooo, at least let me make noise.” I whined.

“Maybe if you’re good.” he whispered into my ear.

Shivers ran up my spine as I giggled girlishly, feeling my tummy tingle in excitement, “Okay.”

Slipping my fingers back into his jeans, I began to push them down his legs. Today Harry wore his skinny jeans. His tight ones. I was struggling to get them off.

“These are so fucking tight, Harry.” I grumbled as I struggled to push his jeans down his legs.

“Sorry.” he giggled, helping me peel his pants off his legs, taking his socks off in the process.

Once they were finally thrown into our pile of clothes, I let out a breath, “Why the hell do you wear those?”

“‘cause I like ‘em.” he shrugged.

I rolled my eyes playfully before attaching our lips again. I trailed my lips to his jaw, all the way down to his belly button. I got on my knees in front of him, running my tongue along his happy trail. I palmed his member over his boxer briefs, massaging it gently. I felt him harden under my touch as I pressed soft kisses to his love handles.

“You gonna suck me off, baby? Wrap those pretty, little lips around me?” he hummed, looking down at me as he moved a strand of hair out from my face.I bite my lip and grinned up at him. I slipped my fingertips past the elastic band of his blue underwear, pushing it down, letting it pool at his feet. His hard member slowly sprang free. My mouth watered at the sight of him. His tip was swollen red and oozing precum, his veins were prominent, and he was as hard as a rock for me. I wrapped my palm around him, pumping him slowly.

“’s that feel good?” I asked.

“Yeah.” he nodded, closing his eyes.

I pressed a few soft kisses to his tip, licking away all the precum. I kitten licked his tip, teasing him a little. He reached down and threaded his fingers through my long, soft hair.

“Babe, c'mon, don’t do this right now. I needa feel yeh.” he whimpered, tossing his head back.

I chuckled softly to myself before taking him into my mouth. I looked up at him through my lashes and saw his Adam’s apple bob. Beginning to move my head up and down against him, I continued to pump what wasn’t in my mouth. I hollowed out my cheeks and listened to his breathing become uneven. Coming off of him, I licked up the underside of him. Pressing a kiss to his tip, I took it in my mouth, sucking it.

“Wanna sit.” he mumbled, taking a few steps back and sitting down on the bed; he placed both of his hands behind him on the bed to support his weight.

I knee-walked towards him, instantly wrapping my palm around him and starting from where I left off. I took his swollen, red tip back into my mouth, swirling my tongue around it.

“God, you’re so good a’ this. Keep doin’ that.” he moaned.

Looking up at him through my mascara covered lashes, I smirked softly. Our eyes locked, his green eyes now clouded with lust as he watched me. His handsome face was contorted with pleasure and his swollen, pink lips were part as soft breaths released. He grabbed all my hair between his hands and held it up out of my face.

Moaning against him, I took him into my mouth again.

“Oh, god.” he groaned, squeezing his eyes shut.

Pushing him up against the side of my cheek, I flicked my wrist with every pump of his shaft. His hard member was throbbing against my touch.

“C'mere.” he mumbled, “Le’s ge’ on the bed. ’s more comfortable fo’ yeh.” He let go of my hair and I felt hit sprawl over my bareback.

“You’re so sweet.” I grinned at him as he sat against the headboard and I laid on my stomach in between his legs.

I took him back into my mouth and continued to moan against him, seeing as his muscles clenched in pleasure. I reached over and grabbed his hand, interlocking his fingers with mine. His hand other went for my locks again, running his long fingers through them. His grip was tight but not tight enough to hurt me.

Moans escaped his throat and I knew his orgasm was rising quickly. Coming up back to his tip, I sucked hard, hollowing out my cheeks. My name fell from his lips, a string of profanities following after. Putting him back into my mouth, I went a little deeper and he grunted. Deciding I should give his balls a little attention, I came off of him again and pressed wet, open-mouthed kisses down his shaft. I pressed gentle kisses to his balls, looking up at him for any sign of uncomfortableness. I knew they were very sensitive. Once I saw none, I went to the next step. Sticking my tongue out, I kitten licked at them, making sure to continue pumping his shaft to give him as much pleasure as possible.

Once I thought I had given his balls enough attention, I went back to the tip, taking him into my mouth again. I pushed him up against the side of my cheek, swirling my tongue around his shaft. His veins were prominent against my tongue. Coming off of him with a subtle pop, I gave him a flirty smile as I looked up at him. Our eyes locked and that was enough to get to him melt into me.

“Mmm, c'mere, babe."

I grinned wider and got up, moving so I was straddling his lap. He crashed his lips onto mine, immediately licking into me. I hummed against his lips, letting my hands roam his chest.

"You’re amazin’ at that.” he grinned.

“Love doin’ it you.” I grinned back into a kiss, sliding my tongue into his mouth.

“Think it’s your turn though."

Switching spots with him, I laid down comfortably before he hovered over me, grinning, ”’m gonna make yeh feel so fuckin’ good t'night, baby. You’ll be screamin’ my name.“

I giggled as he kissed all the way from my lips to the top of my jeans, not leaving an inch of my torso untouched by his tips. My panties dampened with excitement as I watched his every move. He situated himself between my legs. He looked up at me as he unzipped and unbuttoned my pants before pulling them down my legs. Sitting up on his knees, he pulled them passed my feet, tossing them behind him.

He laid back down between my bent legs, coming face to face with my core. He ran his finger up and down my clothed slit, feeling how dampened my panties were.

”(Y/N), you’re soaked through your panties, babe.“ he gasped softly.

I bit my lip and looked down at him.

"How’d yeh get this wet, huh? Was it me? Did I make yeh this wet?” he asked, his voice deep.

“Yeah.” I nodded slowly.

He smirked and turned his head, pressing rough kisses to my inner thighs. After nipping at my skin, he ran his tongue over the bite to soothe it.

“Hand me the remote, will yeh?” he asked, nodding his head towards the remote sat next to me.

I grabbed it and handed it to him.

“Thank you, m'love.” he smiled.

“You’re welcome.” I smiled back.

Looking down at the remote, he turned it on to the first intensity. The buzzing against my clit began and I couldn’t help but smile softly down at him as I watched him admire me and my every move.

“Feel good?” he asked sweetly.

I nodded, bucking my hips up. Closing my eyes, I felt his lips against the inside of my thigh again.

“Turn it up.” I mumbled, looking down at him.

He smirked up at me, licking his lips slowly. Moving his eyes to the remote he moved up the intensity. The vibrations against my clit moved up a few notches and my back arched off the bed, a loud moan rolling off my lips. I felt Harry press his fingertips against the vibrator over the soft fabric of my panties. He added pressure and pressed the vibrator closer to my clit. Rolling the vibrator around my sensitive nub, I moaned his name.

I was in pure bliss. My thighs clenched and I reached down, grabbing fistfuls of his hair, tugging gently. I heard a soft grunt leave his lips and I swear the tiny sounds he would make were enough to make me go crazy with pleasure.

He slipped his fingertips past the elastic band of my panties, getting ready to take them off, “Hips up, baby girl."

I obeyed his words and lifted my hips. He pulled my panties down my smooth legs. He quickly pulled the still buzzing vibrator out of the little pocket before tossing the panties behind his shoulder. He grinned at me and I mocked his grin before he situated himself between my legs again. Placing the little vibrator on my clit against, pleasure zapped through my body again.

Admiring my throbbing core, he used his free hand and ran his fingers across my wetness. He licked his lips and grunted softly. Using his middle finger, he circled my soaking entrance. He slipped in one digit, a second one seconds later, looking up at me and watching my every facial expression and every clench of my muscles. He thrust his fingers in and out of me, curling them up and hitting my spot right on. A loud moan left my lips once he started gently rubbing it, the vibrator still circling on my clit. When his cold rings hit my skin, chills ran up my spine.

"Oh fu-fuck, I - ooh -” I moaned, feeling like I had entered heaven for the first time, “God, Harry, I love you."

"I love you more.” he chuckled softly at the tone of my voice.

Usually, I would fight back with that but I was so in my zone I couldn’t find the words to say anything back. He continued his actions on me. Forcing myself to open my eyes, I looked down and watched him. He was so focused on making me feel as good as he possibly could. It was the sexiest thing in the world.

After taking his long fingers out of me, he moved the little vibrator, taking his time and massaging every part of my core with it. He didn’t skip a single inch before he got to my leaking entrance. He circled with it the tip of the buzzing vibrator, looking up at me for any sign of uncomfortableness. My head was thrown back and soft whimpers left my throat. He slowly slipped the bullet into my entrance, not letting go of it with his fingers. It was pleasurable, I wasn’t going to lie, but I needed something more blissful, more intimate.

“Does this feel good or no?” he asked.

“Mmm, I want your mouth.” I hummed while looking down at him, imagining how good he always makes me feel with his mouth and fingers.

“My mouth, huh? Yeh like my mouth doncha?” he grinned, “It make yeh feel good?"

"Yeah.” I nodded, butterflies erupting in my stomach in excitement.

He chuckled softly and turned off the vibrator, setting it on the bedroom bench at the end of our bed. Looking up at me through his long lashes, he pressed a few sweet kisses to my clit before kitten licking it delicately. I was already throbbing for him. I needed him.

“Harry, no.” I whined, bucking my hips up into his mouth.

“What do you say?” he cocked an eyebrow.

“Please.” I whimpered.

“There’s my good girl.” he grinned before going straight in and wrapping his plump lips around my pulsing clit, sucking harshly.

I bit my bottom lip and moaned out, arching my back and tightening my grip on his brown hair. His tongue swiftly flicked across my clit while he slipped his two fingers inside of me again, thrusting them in and out at the perfect pace. His cold rings made the whole situation even more pleasurable. If he kept doing what he was doing, it wouldn’t be long before I’m a shaking mess beneath him and I know he knows that too.

“Tastes s’ fuckin’ good.” he moaned against me.

Eating me like he hasn’t eaten in days, he made loud licking and sucking sounds. The vibrations from his voice sent new waves of pleasure through my body. Using his free arm, he wrapped it around my waist to keep me from squirming too much. Seconds after seconds everything became so much more intense as my orgasm got closer and closer. Soon enough I felt my body come undone beneath my husband. His name and profanities left my lips as I squirmed around under him, his grip tight on my waist so he could still pleasure me. My mind my fuzzy and I saw stars behind my squeezed shut eyelids. I was in pure ecstasy.

Soon enough everything began to slowly come back to normal. My moans died down, being replaced with heavy breaths. My body as calmed down and his grip on me loosened. Harry removed his fingers, slipping them into his mouth and sucking off my wetness before licking one long stripe up my whole center, licking me clean. He snaked back up my body so he was hovering over me. I slowly opened my eyes to see my sexy husband smiling down at me. His eyes were clouded with lust and his lips and chin were glossy from my release.

“Wow.” I breathed out.

He chuckled and moved a strand of hair out from my face. He leaned down and attached our lips. Licking into me, I tasted my salty release on his tongue.

“My pretty girl.” he cooed, pressing his forehead against mine.

“Wanna feel you inside me.” I hummed back.

He smiled and looked down between our bodies. Grabbing his hard again member, he ran his tip up and down against my clit teasingly.

“Harry, don’t.” I whined, closing my eyes and throwing my head against the soft pillow.

“Yeh haven’t been usin’ your manners much t'nigh’, have ya now?"

"God, Harry, please,” I whined, “Needa feel you inside me, always feels so good."

He grunted and lined up his thick member at my dripping entrance. He thrust his hips and filled me up completely. I let out a moan and wrapped my arms around him, pulling him closer to me. He moved in and out of me while pressing sweet kisses to my neck and shoulders.

"s’ warm. Feel’s good.” he mumbled and I felt his warm breath fan on my skin.

I ran my fingers through his hair, enjoying the amazing feeling of him. He lifted his head up and our eyes met. He was so gorgeous like this. I couldn’t believe he was mine. His eyebrows were furrowed together, a thin layer of sweat arising on his skin. His green eyes were taken over by lust and his growing scruff complemented his pump, pink lips and his sharp jawline.

“God, yeh feel fuckin’ incredible.” he hummed, closing his eyes and letting his head fall to my chest.

I bit my bottom lip and circled my hips underneath him. A grunt left his throat. I knew he always loved when I did that.

“Go faster.” I breathed out.

He obeyed my actions and sped up his thrusts. His hips smacked against mine and I groaned in pleasure. I pressed kisses under his ear and against the side of his face, feeling his back muscles contract under my hands.

I let out a shaky breath, “Oh, I love you.”

“I love you too.” he replied, his breath as shaky as mine.

Grabbing my thigh, he lifted it up and hooked my leg over his shoulder. This new position gave us a deeper penetration that always felt good for both of us.

“Ooh, yeah, right there.” I moaned.

He smirked and drove into me harder. The bed squeaked under us with every thrust. Our eyes locked again before he used his free hand and pushed a strand of hair out from my sweaty forehead. I closed my eyes and bit my bottom lip. My breath hitched in my throat and I let my walls squeeze around him. A low moan escaped his throat.

Dirty words fell from his lips, bringing me closer to the edge. I dug my painted fingernails into the sides of his shoulders; I’d be surprised if I didn’t leave a mark for the morning.

Letting my leg fall from his shoulder, I wrapped my arms around him and began to move, acknowledging that I wanted to be on top. He got the hint and rolled over so his back was laying on the soft sheets. I climbed on top of him and got comfortable before lining up with his hard member. Sinking back down on him, my lips parted.

“So sexy like this.” he hummed, reaching up and grabbing my breast in his warm hand, kneading it gently.

I chuckled softly, moving all my hair to one side of my face before I leaned down, pressing my lips to his. I only moved my hips against him so I could kiss him at the same time. His sweet but rough kisses added so much pleasure to everything. His lips were so soft and his tongue caressed mine. I could kiss him for hours on end if I could.

Letting my head fall to his shoulder, I sped up my thrusts. He placed both of his hands on my bum, gently digging his fingertips into my skin as the pleasure increased. Soft moans began to fall from my lips again. With every thrust, he hit my special spot. I knew it wouldn’t be long until I’m shaking above him.

Being the generous lover he is, he slipped his hand between our sweaty bodies and pressed his calloused fingertips on my throbbing clit. Rubbing it in circles, the added bliss caused his name and profanities to leave my mouth. With his fingers pressing on my most sensitive spot and his thick member hitting my spot with every thrust, I knew we both were going soon.

“Gonna make me cum.” he whispered into my ear.

“Me too,” I replied, “Oh my god."

Only seconds later I felt the fire in my stomach explode and fill my body with immense pleasure. Loud moans spilled from my lips as my body shook. Shortly after I released, I felt Harry’s warm embrace burst inside of me. His fingertips dug into the skin of my hips while his moans mixed with mine. My toes curled and my mind went fuzzy as I rode out my high.

Soon enough our orgasms were fading and we began to come back to reality. He brought his hand back up and wrapped his arms around me tightly. Breathing heavily, I lifted my hips and let his now soft member slip out of me. I rested my clammy body on top of his, taking him in. We laid there listening to each other’s breathing even out before he spoke up, "Mum was talkin’ about grandchildren. Maybe we just conceived her one.”

“I wouldn’t mind that.” I smiled against his shoulder.

“Me either."

"I love you.” I whispered.

“I love you more.”

“No you don’t.”

Quincy Amarikwa (06:04):

Yo, I love that man. Repping the long-term winner's mindset, you know, uh, man, I pull up now you're making me, uh, relive good times. Um, I'm thinking about when we had the t-shirts, uh, at preseason 2020, uh, I saw you, I, the long-term winners mindset t-shirt immediately and say that that's me. That was mine. I mean, Hey, I need that. I need does it. Okay. Bet, bro. This is the only one I have, but facts it's yours. Yeah, no, I'm happy to see you still got it, brother. What a man. I know we'll, we'll end up talking about a whole bunch of stuff as we typically do. Uh, what, what made you, uh, what made you go for that, that shirt? What about that was, what about that represents you?

Quincy Amarikwa (06:52):

Yeah, the long-term mindset, something I really picked up off of you. That's something that you preached in our conversation, several conversations throughout our year together, um, you know, before go, the beating you and talking to you and learning your mindset. I was very stern sort term with my thinking and how I went day by day and how I went about life. Um, you know, just take a sort term for quick reference. You know, first couple of years in a lead, I wasn't really thinking about life after soccer. You know, like I'm a professional soccer player, things are going okay. You know, I'm not going to be here for awhile. Not thinking that anything can change at any moment. Uh, and things did. And my career was we'll probably get into a little later, which kind of starts shifting my mindset and that in addition with meeting you and talking to you and having our conversations, uh, so now more of a long-term thinker in terms of the way I operate.

Quincy Amarikwa (07:55):

That's awesome, man. No, I appreciate, I mean, I appreciate that and it's, it's cool, man. It's been cool to really see your progress and your process, you know, just like, uh, initially meeting you in DC, watching, watching you watch me and Earl just have long debates in the, in the locker room, uh, you know, helping me better understand, you know, your approach and how you think about things and you know, always, I will always tell you, you know what I mean? Like I learned just as much, I think I feel I learned even more from you, you know what I mean? Like, and I've always appreciated how open you've been in, in, um, your willingness to like recognize where you're at. Like, I, I guess my main thing I'm getting around to the directing is like, there's a, it's, it's a skillset of knowing you don't know everything, but also confident that you do know, you know, what you know, and you're good at what you do.

Quincy Amarikwa (08:59):

You know what I mean? So it's like, it's, it's a, it's a good, it's a good balance. And um, I always thought you did a really great job of that. And um, it's just been cool to see how that progressed over time. Um, you, you, of, you touched on it a little bit in terms of what might've kind of, kick-started your, Hey, you know, soccer doesn't doesn't necessarily, might not last forever. Um, w you want to give us a little bit of, uh, of your, of your story, you know, uh, of it, of what you'd like to share and, and, and what that process has been like for you.

Quincy Amarikwa (09:34):

Yeah, sure. So, um, I guess I'll take it back a little bit. Just give people a little bit of my background. Uh, Chris had deleted sham, my full name. If you didn't know, going into my fifth year of professional soccer with DC United, uh, born and raised in Maryland. So I'm from this area I've been here my whole life pretty much. And I think that's where it all stems from. You know, I think I've lived, uh, you know, a very good life, especially growing up. My parents worked very hard to give me all the resources I needed in order to be successful. You know, whether it was the, the schools I went to growing up, or, uh, finally it's to go to a better team. You know, growing up the team was an hour away. The practice was our way. Parents made that sacrifice to get me there in order to become a better player.

Quincy Amarikwa (10:25):

And I think that's where it was like, I was just, I was pretty much in a comfortable position for most of my life. Um, and that lasted a long time, you know, as I progressed and got older, uh, soccer was always pretty comfortable. I was always one of the better players in the area in high school. My junior year, the team that at school would, I was wanting to go to Maryland, can call her. And so I committed early my junior year, I got to Maryland four years started there. Uh, so, you know, this was all comfortable, but once I got to my procreate, that's when things got shaken up a little bit and started becoming a little uncomfortable for me. Uh, 2017, I got drafted to DC United, uh, two weeks into my first pre-season. I got hurt, got an injury was out for a couple of weeks, came back, got sent, uh, the USL team Richmond, uh, at the time.

Quincy Amarikwa (11:17):

And, uh, I couldn't even play there. You know, I, I knew I was not having a chance of playing with the first thing and I was fine with that. I'll get my experience. And he goes, so it's hard to get my chance for the first thing. I go down to USL and I can't even get on the field there, you know, I'm like a month or two in my career and I'm like, I'm play in the USL. Like maybe I'm not cut out for this, you know, just hard on myself and my mentality wasn't right at the time. But, uh, eventually that might've been a good thing. Uh, since I was playing there, then he kept me at DC and train. I started quickly Franny and eventually like an injury happened. I started getting back into the, to the roster and the best of planning and starting games.

Quincy Amarikwa (12:00):

So it worked out in the, uh, in the end. So my first year was okay towards the end of the year. I got hurt again. Um, and then 2018 happened my second year in the league. I had a decent first year, so I'm expecting my second year to be even better. I'm trying to take it up a notch and make a true impact in the league. And that wasn't the case at all. Uh, immediately just started dealing with injuries. My second year had the surgery and then I was just always, uh, not feeling good, not feeling right. Something was always wrong. I didn't know what it was. I was going to the team telling them something's off something, you know, can, can I get checked out, find something, they couldn't find anything wrong with me. I got in my head and started thinking like, Oh man, they must think I'm lying or making the sub that out.

Quincy Amarikwa (12:47):

I was like, man, maybe I'm not cut out for this. You know, just went to a bad path. And towards the end of the year, it came out that I had possibly as my former, uh, form of blood cancer. So, you know, uh, went through, you know, obviously that's a very life-changing event that happened for me. And, uh, you know, that's when I really picked up the idea that man, like my career really could have been over at any time and the time I'd spend off the field. I wasn't really preparing myself for life after soccer. You know, it was more of coming home and taking a big nap for two, two and a half hours, uh, playing video games that Alize the grant, whatever, you know, just not being very productive with my free time when we have so much free time as professional soccer players.

Quincy Amarikwa (13:39):

Uh, so, you know, I went through chemotherapy, eventually made it back on the field and, uh, you know, that's that following year 2019 is when I met you. So, uh, the combination of, you know, having a cancer and going through that experience and then meeting you, someone with your mindset, just the combination of those things together just really had me motivated to start just doing things that were better for, for my life. Maybe after soccer or just putting in the work. Now, changing my mentality on certain things, certain things that you pointed out, maybe some flaws in me that you would point out, but, uh, with you, the type of person you are being so selfless. And even though you pointed out these flaws in me, you were willing and more than able to help me throw them and helped me work on them. And the amount of time that we spent like having conversations, man, it was a lot throughout the year, but I was appreciated you spending that time, like passing on your knowledge and information that you accumulated over your lifetime and your career and your willingness to pass that on to anybody who was willing to listen as everybody here in perfect soccer knows, uh, that you have, that you have, that you have that mindset and that you have that get to pass that on to other people.

Quincy Amarikwa (15:01):

So that's not my story. That's kind of how I changed my mindset. And I'm still working on still constant process. I still fall short a lot of times, but, uh, you know, I'm still trying to go up and up, uh, as, as life goes on,

Quincy Amarikwa (15:15):

Man, I love that, man. You gave me teary-eyed over here, bro. Might try to try to make me cry over here on my show, bro. That's that's I mean, I, I appreciate that. That's like, that means a lot. I, um, um, yeah, but I wasn't expecting to hear that, man. I just was, I was just always, uh, focused on hopefully trying to share how to avoid many mistakes that I made because I've made, I made a whole lot of them and I'm sure you saw me make a whole, a whole lot more, even, even in our time in, uh, in DC. Right. Uh, but as you know, and we talked about here on the show with the three S's of self-awareness, you know, like, um, making mistakes is part of the process and being, being open to criticism and self reflection and self-awareness is, is, is key right?

Quincy Amarikwa (16:09):

To accomplishing your goals, said it, I said it a little bit earlier here in the intro of what the, a, what the MSM mindset is. And, uh, I think something that you pointed out as well as like, you, you fall short, but you're falling forward, you know, and if you've got the long-term winners mindset, you know, a loss or a setback, um, even you had mentioned it, um, when you were talking about, uh, when you got sent down to the USL very early in your, your, you know, your first year looking back on it, it's a positive, but during, it's not, it's not so positive. Right.

Quincy Amarikwa (16:46):

He talked about the, um, the state of self doubt, uh, questioning, am I cut out for this? You know, is it me? Is it the system? Is it, you know, it's a very uncomfortable, uh, face and I think what's great. What's great in your story and you sharing that is, um, a lot of players, parents, coaches, um, don't see that side of the game, right. They don't, they don't, they don't hear about that. That's not spoken to very frequently or often. And, um, it, it can, it can make people feel as though they're alone or they're by themselves, you know, they're by themselves in that. Um, so I, I think it's a amazing, your willingness to kind of share that and, um, and, and be so open. Um, when most people would be very scared, be very scared to be. Um, and, and that makes me even think about, uh, the, the conversations and, and, uh, jokes and stuff we'd have in the locker room about me always teasing you about being hella scary all the time. Right. Uh, okay. What, what do you, what do you think that, like, you know, I obviously I have my thoughts as to what it, what it is or what I think it to be, but like, for you, like, do you feel like those were rational fears? Do you think, like they're healthy? Like how, how do you describe what fear is? Like, what does fear to you?

Quincy Amarikwa (18:17):

Fear to me, I would say is the unknown. Um, so like our previous previously said, you know, I was always pretty much in a comfortable position and then didn't really care too much for too much change, you know? Uh, so, you know, fear to me is it's probably changed stepping into the unknown. And you were quick to point that out and said, do what you say. You're scared of just scary that I, I didn't like you saying that, but at the same time, you know, the fact that I realized, man, this question seems to send me like, this must be a real thing with me. Like, how do I, how do I work on, or how do I flex on it? And, you know, he gave me some great advice with that. And he said anything that's, you're, you're afraid of, or, uh, apprehensive to do, man, just step into it and see what you're scared of. He's like half the time, your head step in there and you look around, you're like, man, like I shouldn't, I shouldn't have got scared at all. You know, this isn't too bad that I, so, you know, I've tried to take that. So try to apply that. It's how to do things that, you know, a few years ago there was no chance I would have been doing so for sure, appreciate you for the poking at me, uh, to get, to get better.

Quincy Amarikwa (19:37):

Yeah. Not, uh, not everybody's too happy with my approach. Right. Uh, in the short term, um, the goal and hope is that in the long-term right. Um, it seemed for what it, what it's meant to be, which is a love, you know what I mean? Like I see your puppy. I see, I see where you are and I also see what you can become and what, you know, you can become for yourself. Right. Um, but nothing, nothing of greatness happens staying in your comfort zone, always, you know? And, um, it doesn't mean you're always going to step into step into the unknown and everything's going to go great. Sometimes it's gonna, it's going to go terribly wrong, but that also is an opportunity to learn. And I think you've, you've done it in your own way. And, and, uh, you know, you did the work I could, I could, you know, I can pull it out or call it out and tease you or, you know, encourage you, or however you want to, you know, someone might look at it as teasing and someone else looks at it as encouragement.

Quincy Amarikwa (20:43):

Right. Motivation. Um, so, and, and, and we talk a lot about that here. Right? Take negativity or positivity, or take negativity and turn it into positivity and take positivity and utilize it no matter what, it's energy. Right. So how are you going to utilize the energy to focus the attention people give you positive or negative? Um, so, uh, it's, it's no, it's, it's cool to, it's cool to see it. It's really cool to hear, because my point is really, you still have to do the work that matter if I call it out or pointed out, right? Like you're doing the work, your, your self reflect your step when you could maybe do more or when you need to do less, you know, cause you know, we're not all the same. We don't all have the same background, the same advantages disadvantages. And, um, what works for me might not work for you. Um, but your willingness to kind of, like I said, here, be confident in, in what, you know, but also open to seeing and hearing other things. I always, I always thought was a very valuable and, and um, impactful attribute that you have and, um, hopefully hopefully more clubs see that, understand that and, uh, and value that here moving forward. I, I, I think they will, if they're the smart ones will at least broke.

Quincy Amarikwa (22:11):

Um, okay. So let me see here. So everybody, uh, so obviously obviously a bunch of people are spending the heart button love and the love and the conversation so far, and a lot that you're talking about, um, uh, if anyone's got any questions, make sure questions for Chris, drop them in the, in the chat box here below also I'll look through the, um, Oh, Kevin joined in and said what up, um, tournament. Okay guys, you're talking about the tournament. What's uh, uh, uh, let's see. You always end up falling behind on the, on the scrolling here. Um, yeah, I've ever been on, this is your first live bro for something new, right? Yo, shout out.

Quincy Amarikwa (23:06):

I love that, man. You know, the, uh, it's very, uh, uh, we had DWP Bradley, right. Phillips was on. I want to say like episode, Oh man. Now to my knowledge. But, um, he came on, it was his first Instagram live as well to mans didn't know nothing about it. I was just like, what? Let's go, what up? Let's do it. Yeah. It was a great episode. So it was like, I respect that. That is a quality that a lot of people had, so they got to be prepared, perfectly love that. Uh, okay. So let's see what we got here, uh, at camp Kendall had said through adversity comes greatness and then dropped her I'm in the head and her I'm in the head. I'm in your head emojis. Uh, Kevin Perez said that boy, Chris is different. Right.

Quincy Amarikwa (24:02):

Having a different breed backs. Right.

Quincy Amarikwa (24:10):

Um, let's see.

Quincy Amarikwa (24:14):

Okay. So we got Mark Tackett, Mark [inaudible], um, asked, uh, what was your biggest misconception about being an MLS player?

Quincy Amarikwa (24:25):

Biggest misconception.

Quincy Amarikwa (24:27):

Okay.

Quincy Amarikwa (24:37):

Like prior to being a player and then realized that once I get in trouble, once I get that

Quincy Amarikwa (24:43):

Yeah. Let's, let's go. Um, let's go with that.

Quincy Amarikwa (24:54):

Probably I bought, I was more prepared for the adversity. Like the first thing that I mentioned, you know, I was prepared not to play right away for the first team, but, you know, I thought for sure I'd be able to play, uh, start in the USO and it wasn't, I wasn't even getting into that. That was just a real rude awakening for me, uh, that I had to go through, but you know, maybe better in the long run. So, uh, yeah, I would say that, uh, that maybe not easy to play in MLS, but definitely in the USO. I thought I was well prepared for that.

Quincy Amarikwa (25:36):

Okay. I like, okay. So then what was it that you were missing at that time? Like, cause clearly you figured it out, right? Like where you figured out what you needed to do, what, what, what did you get comfortable? What were you too comfortable with? And like, how did you under S how did you, how did you underestimate it so greatly?

Quincy Amarikwa (26:02):

You know, I thought it was just a given that, okay, the first thing sends me down to USO are going to be playing and, and starting and getting my minutes because you're not allowed. That's how it works. And I think five of us were sent down from the first team and all the, all of the four others were starting to play the whole game. And I'm there sitting on the bench, the whole game. I'm like, like, like what's up with me? Like, what am I doing? And then I started seeing him, I played my play, started to decrease until just like all mentality. I was like, man, I'm like, good for this look good enough for this level. So, you know, that's what it was for me. And it was, it was hard to get out of that, but, you know, eventually they call me back to the first team to train and that's when I started helping my game and improving at a fast rate. But, you know, if they had left me there, I don't know what else would have happened to be honest.

Quincy Amarikwa (26:57):

Gotcha. So what, what did you, what did you hone in on focus in on, like, what was your kind of North star?

Quincy Amarikwa (27:06):

Uh, what do you mean? Exactly?

Quincy Amarikwa (27:09):

So like you, you, you went down, you weren't expecting that you weren't playing, you got kind of like a second opportunity at getting back up to the first team and getting some, some training. What, what about once you got back? What did you focus on? So that, that, that wouldn't happen to you. So like you focused on the, how you felt not being involved and that made you work harder. Um, and if so, like what did you work harder at? Like what did you stop taking for granted? What did you stop? Um, what did you stop thinking was a given?

Quincy Amarikwa (27:49):

Yeah, for sure. I didn't want to feel that feeling again. So when I get back, got back to DC training, I was prepared to go back down. But, uh, when I did go back down, I was like, okay, I'm gonna be ready next time I go back for sure. So it was just things like, uh, going to training and even staying at the training, you know, knowing our assistant coach Nolan, he was helping me a lot. He was the guy who I was talking to a lot throughout that time and helping me focus on certain things after practice, maybe it was after practice, I've stayed a little later within maybe 20, 20 crosses or something like that. There's different parts of my game, just trying to get better at the round, out my game. Um, so whenever I was, you know, as me thinking, going back to USAA, I'll be ready, but it came to the point where the opportunity opened up for me with the first team. And I think I took full advantage of it when I was, uh, put in there, you know, start playing games, subbing in and definitely started starting the games. And, you know, I think my first year after I played, you know, good to, uh, above average, you know, every game support supper, maybe one game, I had a bad game, but other than that, I was pretty consistent or, uh, really felt like I belonged after that.

Quincy Amarikwa (29:06):

Love that. Okay. So, so you, you got a slice of humble pie, right? And then had to be honest with yourself about that and know that you didn't want to feel that again, you got, you, you took self initiative, cause you said I'm not going to make that mistake again. And I'm going to do additional work prepared for the next time. And then you held yourself accountable to that, to the point that you didn't even have to end up getting sent back down. Cause it's almost like you learned your lesson and you started accelerating growing quickly from that, from that experience. So I like that, man, that's active, that's active, uh, execution of the three S's of self-awareness man.

Quincy Amarikwa (29:47):

No, the last part self, uh, accountability. That's a big part that I feel like sometimes I like to just stay consistent and disciplined and that, uh, uh, and when I'm doing so for that year, you know, I was pretty consistent with doing quite a bit of extra work after training. And I think I really hope, and I should be doing more of it now to be honest, but yeah,

Quincy Amarikwa (30:13):

No, I follow you. I think, I think that's the one that can get most difficult because when you hold yourself accountable, it becomes habit and routine and then that becomes comfortable, you know? And, and then I think I talk about it. We talk about a lot. I talk about it here on the show, you know, what got you here might not get you there. And especially at the professional sports level, right? It's, there's constantly someone that's coming for your spot. So we talk about, you know, adapt or die. You got to adapt times change and sometimes they change real quick, you know? And, um, uh, I think understanding your strengths and your weaknesses is, is crucial to developing a long-term winner's mindset and surviving, you know, uh, for the, for the longterm. So I think, yeah, I think your experience is very unique and your perspective is extremely unique. And, and because of that, I think it only will, it only helps you Excel in the professional, in the professional world, you know, and, um, I think, uh, that's kind of a good, good, uh, transition into the next question that came in from, uh, from Joe Jackson. Um, he had asked, uh, what, uh, what do you want to do after your career, or what do you think be interested in,

Quincy Amarikwa (31:31):

Hey, great question. Um, I'm still working on that, trying to figure exactly what I want to do post career. And I don't know if you wanted to bring that up or I can bring it up now, but, uh, I'll be starting the internship actually with, uh, Quincy and perfect soccer learning under him. I think that's just, it's just a great time for me, you know, I spent almost the last year or two really learning and doing, going through personal development and things like that, but I think it's now it's time to put things into action. So, you know, things came up maybe possibly going back to school or maybe get a MBA or something like that. But, uh, you know, our conversation has made you Quincy and you vastly brought up this idea of me, you know, really working under you and learning and helping you at perfect soccer. And I thought it was a great opportunity. So, uh, you know, you're going to have me in different roles and positions to figure out what I like best. And I think it would give me more of a clarity to figure out which direction I want to go post career.

Quincy Amarikwa (32:37):

And, uh, was, Joe had asked that question yet. And, uh, I was excited. I'm excited to announce that, uh, yeah, Chris will be joining as a perfect soccer intern starting out here, um, with us. Um, we've had, you know, several, several interns in the past so far and some have become a full members of our, of the perfect soccer team. Um, some have kind of moved on into other industries and areas and it's, uh, it's been an amazing process. Um, Chris has helped us with our newly updated onboarding process, which has been awesome and, uh, creating a space where like he had mentioned, he can kind of, um, figure out where he wants to go because as a lot of, um, our followers and members, um, struggled with is, you know, how do I figure out what it is that I want to do? How do I know what I want to do?

Quincy Amarikwa (33:29):

That's like, that's a big task, you know, and a lot of people just put it on delay and they procrastinate, right. Cause they're just like, ah, I'll do it later. I'll figure it out later. I'll figure it out later. And very similar where you said, Hey, as a pro player, you got a lot of time, right? As a, as a, you know, a kid in high school in junior high kid in elementary school kid in college, you, you have a lot of time, you know, and, um, working and at a slow pace to figure that out is better than delaying it. So you said you've been, you've been researching personal development learning kind of tasting a little bit here and there over the last two years. And in that two year time, then it said, Hey, I think I want to, I want to dabble in this.

Quincy Amarikwa (34:15):

I know you're doing, you were trying to, you're a little bit of re real estate and you know, stock market. And I mean, I think my point is people think that you have to have it all figured out right away and from the beginning. And that's not the case, you know, that that's not the case at all. And, um, hopefully here with conversations like this and a big reason why I wanted to have you as a, you know, episode one Oh two of the show is, um, creating that space. So we have the room to figure it out. You know, we're not going to know everything. We're going to make mistakes. You can try something and that will maybe let you know that you don't want anything to do with it. And it's okay. Let's move on to something else. But let's also, let's also make sure we have a plan that we can commit to, um, over time, this is that longterm winners mindset.

Quincy Amarikwa (35:04):

I'm just, I'm just seeing, I'm just like your ex you're just you're executing on it. Right. You're living it. And, um, it, I guess it makes me reflect on like being in the locker room and I can be preaching it and saying it, and then it can be, I act, Quincy, Quincy, just talk him just the same old thing. Right. And I get that, right. Like, that's good, good. If I get tired and you're, you're sick of hearing me. That means you, at least you heard me say, you know, if, and when you hit that typical time or that road or whatever, if, if, if that story is helpful, cool. I did my job. Right. That's how I'm looking at it. And, uh, E being on this side, in terms of just seeing the results of the work that you've been doing in your free time, right?

Quincy Amarikwa (35:54):

Like when no, one's looking, holding yourself accountable, taking initiative, being honest with yourself, like the results speak, you know, and I, I think it's been well-deserved and I think you've earned. I think you've earned it, you know? So I'm, I'm just, uh, I'm proud of what you've been doing. And, um, I'm excited for, for what's what's to come and your future man. And, uh, you got other, uh, you got other fans, uh, uh, Philippe joined in, gave away. Yeah. Uh, uh, Earl, Earl Edwards Jr. Came and said, ah, I'm mad. I missed the first half of this one. Let me see. Okay. Yeah. So like I said, I'll fall behind on the step. Okay. So Earl's on Earl said for everyone watching Quincy, Chris and I sat side by side in the DC locker room and would have Cabos just like this every day for hours. Um, it was, it was our intro into the MSL life-changing, uh, Facebook. And he said, yeah, four hours. Yeah. You said four hours, but four hours. Isn't far off LOL. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you got, uh, Christina dropped, uh I'm in your head emojis, uh, jaw. Oh yeah. W it was a jaw had said, Oh, just finish a sweaty run. Didn't want to, didn't want to, but I'm part of the MSL school. I, uh, let's see. I think I saw another question for you. Come in here. Um, okay. Is dot Umar, U U M a R underscore said, Hey, Chris, what's the number one thing you do off the field that helps you progress as a player?

Quincy Amarikwa (37:36):

How I spend my time though, like I said, I used to spend it not being productive at all waste of time. It was just cool. Like, you just have to find a balance that works for you, but you can't be all one end of the spectrum too much. So before, when it was solely like TV, NABS, whatever, now it's more learning like, like you had previously said, learning about investing in real estate, investing in a stock market, you know, something that can set me up for, for the future, uh, you know, and continue to develop. So, uh, I've taken certain courses. They have free courses online, uh, that spend time on, uh, financial literacy course was kind of introductory me too, but I found another one on my own. Just how to better manage my money on my home and stuff like that. Uh, what else I spent my time doing, uh, um, I cook a lot now. Uh, you know, I changed my diet, so I have to cook a lot more for me, uh, spend time meditating. Uh, I tried to do that as soon as I wake up in the morning I go to sleep. I felt like that's really helped me, um, clear my head. Um, but yeah, just try to be productive with my free time. Um, for sure.

Quincy Amarikwa (39:05):

I love, I love that. Um, I can stand to do that a bit more. I did. I tried meditating. I did that for a little bit. Um, I liked that and enjoyed that. Like, I need to make time for that. That one's a good one. Um, you'd mentioned a lot of that is coming down to like time management. Did, um, did you utilize the time management, uh, worksheet and training that we had?

Quincy Amarikwa (39:29):

Yeah. So for those of you don't know, uh, once we Earl and I started talking to Quincy and he started to bring us into the MSL mindset, uh, he had, uh, started, uh, clock in what we're doing and how we're spending our time every day, what we're doing every 30 minutes of the day. Um, so, you know, I definitely got really into that. And just at first you could kind of see how you would spend your time and how it wasn't productive, and you really don't really notice it or realize when you're doing it, but when you have to write it down and type it, and you're spending box at the box saying watching TV, watching TV, watching TV, it's like, man, like maybe I shouldn't be spending as much time watching TV. And that was a great thing for me is, uh, um, to be honest, I'm still not currently doing that right now, but I definitely do have better, uh, knowledge of what I'm doing and how I'm spending my time. But, you know, for that first year I did it, uh, I did it consistently for a year. I think you're helping. It really did help me in a lot of ways, seeing how I spend my time more productive,

Quincy Amarikwa (40:44):

I'd love that we can. I think for the longest time I thought I thought the problem was, uh, I thought the root problem was a financial problem, like of like, okay, everyone spends their time doing things to kind of, to make money or to earn money so that they can take vacation and start a business, invest in their futures, pay for school, whatever. Right. And I was going like, okay, a lot of people don't have a financial literacy so that, you know, I focused on building that, that first financial literacy course and, and sharing what I had learned and mistakes I've made and the real estate deals and all that stuff. And it wasn't necessarily resulting in what I thought it was until I really focusing. And I went, you know what, it's actually, it's a time literacy, literacy, uh, issue, right? Like it's like people, people, one, they don't know how to budget their money.

Quincy Amarikwa (41:36):

That's one problem. But worse is, people don't know how to budget their time, you know? And to the point that you're making is, you know, when you're not writing down where you spend your time, you literally don't see your time. You don't see it. So you don't even, you don't realize you are bleeding time. Right. Um, and, uh, once, once we put together that time management worksheet, I mean, for me, that was like the light bulb for me, in terms of like how I can better utilize my time as well too, is showcasing how guys can learn, how to budget and manage their time, their time for themselves. Um, and with you saying that, you know, is that you stuck to it for a year, that's massive, right. It becomes a habit. And now you can start thinking in terms of your time allocation and you don't necessarily have to write it every day to break up your day into 30 minutes segments.

Quincy Amarikwa (42:36):

Right. For sure. Um, it's a, it's an act, it's a practice in meditation it's own way because you have to be focused on a task for a certain duration of time. And it's a task that you might not necessarily enjoy because it's showing you where you fall short and literally have to confront it every day. Like you're looking at your BS every day and you're just like, okay, can I keep looking at this and still do it and not like, and then make excuses as to why that opportunity was because of someone else, you know? Um, no, it's beautiful. Uh, cause I was thinking with, uh, Earl, right. Earl's I think Earl's more my temperament like, go, go, go today. Yes. Okay. Go, go, go crash bird. Do it again. Uh, uh, and seeing, seeing you guys approach the time management sheet and the, the, uh, the feedback I get from you guys in terms of like hating it.

Quincy Amarikwa (43:40):

Yeah.

Quincy Amarikwa (43:46):

Is, you know, this is, this is stupid, you know what I mean? Like what's the point I don't see. And I go, yeah. Okay.

Quincy Amarikwa (43:58):

Yeah.

Quincy Amarikwa (43:58):

Yeah, man. Uh, it's, it's, it's uh, it's positive feedback. It's good to hear. Right. Cause like the feedback now is like, all right. Yeah, yeah. Like that was helpful. You know what I mean? I didn't enjoy it. I look at it like preseason, I didn't enjoy it. I didn't enjoy throwing up. Cause I ran too hard and I didn't have fun doing the beep test, but I am happy that I'm healthy in the middle of the year and I'm fit and I'm ready to, uh, destroy the team that we're playing on the weekend. You know? So, uh, yeah bro,

Quincy Amarikwa (44:31):

I did.

Quincy Amarikwa (44:32):

I didn't know. I didn't know you, uh, you utilized it for over a year, man. That's dope. I'd have to ask the girl Earl tapped out after, I don't know Earl. How, how long until you tapped out on the time management sheet, man, let's see. Uh,

Quincy Amarikwa (44:50):

No more crying.

Quincy Amarikwa (44:51):

Okay. Uh, John just said, keep out at every one time to get on that homework grind. I'm in your head. Uh, see you all next time. Thank you, Quincy. And thank you, Chris. So yeah, I think a lot of people are really enjoying this episode, man, and have taken up an awful lot of gems from you. Um, and I appreciate the time man. Umar said appreciate the answers brother. Um, Wessex uh, gave you three goat emojis all in a row

Quincy Amarikwa (45:19):

And that's my guy, friends man from second grade. Oh wow. Shout out West,

Quincy Amarikwa (45:27):

The most diesel a school teacher.

Quincy Amarikwa (45:30):

Okay.

Quincy Amarikwa (45:36):

I love that role. He's got to start Instagram account bro. Just flex them on everybody.

Quincy Amarikwa (45:42):

Uh,

Quincy Amarikwa (45:42):

Let's see. Okay. Joe Jackson said, yo Quincy, that's the next challenge. Try to fill out the time management cheat every day for six months, I liked that we could do that. Um, uh, uh, last week, um, last week we had our first winner of the 10 pushup challenge. Um, what, what it was was I challenged our, our followers to say, okay, all you have to do in this offer still stands. All you have to do is 10 pushups every day without and not miss a day for six months, you do that. You get some free perfect soccer Merck. And uh, I think has been like two years sentence going on and we've only had one, one person she's made it so far. Uh it's it's it's easy physically. It's difficult mentally. Um, let's see. Earl had said, I remember not wanting to tell you, uh, why the time sheet was hard to embarrassing.

Quincy Amarikwa (46:42):

Yeah.

Quincy Amarikwa (46:42):

Uh, okay. Earl said I actually lasted a little over a year. Okay. That's decent. I just took a short hiatus early on. Cause I wasn't ready for all that. Yeah. Yeah. That's what I avoided you for two weeks. Uh, yeah. I love that. The part of the, the part of the process where everyone I work with goes on a hiatus. It just ignores me and sends me no messages. It just doesn't look me in the eye for however long. And I'm like, uh, okay. Uh, I guess either I'll never talk to them again or there'll be back around once they they've calmed down or

Quincy Amarikwa (47:23):

Okay.

Quincy Amarikwa (47:24):

I love that. Right. Okay. Uh, now I, I love time, man. We've got, let's say we've got about 10 more minutes here before. Uh, we'll. We'll wrap up the hour here. Uh let's uh, keep it more. I know we've gone deep on a lot of things. What what's uh, so some foams fun stories or, uh, something that stands out to you during our time in, um, during our time in 2019, like couples share a couple of stories, uh, that you thought were, were ridiculous. Stupid, funny, sad. Uh, w what do you got?

Quincy Amarikwa (48:01):

Definitely some funny moments. Um, one off the top of my head is, is your introduction to the team, but, uh, with the presentation and then Earl, the reason why Earl awarded you for first couple of months, and that's, that's always a funny story. You can tell this story.

Quincy Amarikwa (48:22):

No. Okay. All right. So why do you, you remember it? Like, Oh, okay. I've never, okay. I've never heard from your perspective, so, okay. I'll give a quick background story on that. Right. So for those who don't know, Earl essentially like blew me off for the first, like three months. So like Earl had said in the, in the comments there, uh, Chris Earl and myself were right next to each other as locker mates while I was at DC. Right. But for the first three months, Earl just ignored my existence. Thought I was the dumbest person who ever existed and just wrote me off right from the beginning. And he wrote me off because of a joke I made at the, uh, MLS, like introduction presentation, where they, they go over all the things you can, you and things you can, and can't say on the board and the guy who was giving the presentation was saying every word and doing everything, but avoided saying the N word. Right.

Quincy Amarikwa (49:20):

You know, and I can tell he's on the hot seat and he really wanted to move on from it. And I had raised my hand and he is, Oh, okay. Quincy called me and said, Hey, what's that word? I, all the other words I've written out, but what about that, that, that word there? He said, which one was it? The end? That one, what does the word, what is that? And he was, he was just sitting there for a little bit before I was, I said, Oh, I thought it was, hell, I still think it's hilarious, bro.

Quincy Amarikwa (49:48):

I thought it was hilarious. I was dying. Like the,

Quincy Amarikwa (49:51):

Okay, well that's okay. I love that. So like, what was your experience? Because Earl thought it was the dumbest joke out of ti like wrote me off for three months. Uh, what, what were your, what were your thoughts?

Quincy Amarikwa (50:05):

Yeah, that was my first time. Cause this was like your first day, right? So no one really knows who you are. I don't know. I didn't really know you. And literally that's my first thing I hear you say is like, Oh, what's that N word up there. And gas trace and how Shirky was up there, man. I was laughing in the back of the room when, uh, you know, he gets to see in the locker room. Some people find it funny. Some people didn't Earl was obviously one who did not find that plenty at all to the point where he didn't want to talk to Quincy for like three months off of that one joke. But I thought it was funny,

Quincy Amarikwa (50:46):

Bro. You gotta shoot your shot, bro. Like, like, well, hopefully that, okay. So there's a lesson to be learned there. Like, Hey, there's, there's not much that you can't recover from. There's a, there's a path back, you know what I mean? Like, Hey,

Quincy Amarikwa (51:04):

Takes time to get there. You'll get back there.

Quincy Amarikwa (51:09):

Yeah. He said, yo, I'm crying. Oh man. Uh, okay. Uh, Oh, Joe Jackson. Yeah. I remember that story. Uh, Oh yeah. And Earl said, I'm sure you guys cover this. We did not yet. So I'm glad that you brought it up. Uh, but he said, Chris, congratulations again on the new contract. Uh, uh, for those who don't know, uh, Chris just signed his new deal with DC United, uh, ink, the deal. What? Little less than a week or two weeks ago. Okay.

Quincy Amarikwa (53:01):

Uh, let me, uh, let me think. Oh, uh, I'll let you think while I see Earl now Earl's show throwing his shots. I know he's wishing he could three way call in on this is 1996, weights, eight wins in any trophies. Um, man, I hope, I hope I ended up getting back into the Emma MSL. I've always been in the MSL bro, but getting back to the FLS road just so I can show up to you guys to cities and just talk mad

It is almost unimaginable how many musicians have been given a listen due to their album artwork. Being the first impression itself, the artwork obviously holds the same weight as the music in many cases. Back in the days of record stores, there was no 10-second preview; the artwork was all there was between the consumer and the artist. Though, it is now a digital age in which attention is the most valuable commodity, in which standing out is just as difficult as ever. Some believe that the artistry of an album has been lost and in a sense it is arguable that the lack of physicality within the medium has hindered the appreciation of the art form. But many on the other side of the scale believe that is completely wrong in every sense, many being the graphic designers themselves; one of which is pushing to retain the art form he built his base on.

Max Cohen is a Waterloo, Ontario born and raised creative director and designer who has established himself a major player in the hip hop scene; creating artwork for some of the hottest acts currently, which include: Killy, Pierre Bourne, Murda Beatz, Smokepurpp and of course many more. Max understands the importance of branding as well as the visuals themselves, hoping to share it with those unaware of its essentialness. Parmaind sat down and spoke to Max about his work and visions, the rap industry as well as his views on the future of music marketing.

Paramind: First question as always, how’s your day going?

Max: Good man, it was ok; school was school. I’m living bro, living good.

PM: So, why don’t you tell everyone who Max is?

M: Oh god, my name is Max Cohen; I am a student, I am an artist, I make album covers and work on branding for a bunch of different artists and labels, just an overall creative.

PM: So of all those projects you’ve done, what are the three you’re most proud of?

M: Oh, Killamonjaro for Killy, Bloody Hands…this is tough… oh the Fiji and Yachty one for sure.

PM: It is seen in those projects that you work tightly in the hip hop community, but do you think that’s where you’re happy staying? Or would you want to expand and if so, where?

M: I mean I love all genres of music so I’ll do anyone I listen to and primarily listen to the people I work with. It’s nice to have that personal connection with the artists. But in general with rap its probably where I’ll stay, it’s what’s popular and what I enjoy the most; it’s the black renaissance coming into play and that will be prevalent as time goes on. Also I work more on an industry level than a Soundcloud one now as well. I’ve worked with Universal, Interscope, real label shit. It’s my niche and I’m enjoying it and once I continue to expand my range of talents it’ll just get better and I plan to stay prevalent and influential in the industry.

PM: So do you plan to move towards shooting concerts, live visuals, etc. as arguably album artwork is static as an art form?

M: Yeah it can be sometimes, but photography is so saturated right now that it’s hard to stand out at all because thousands of them exist, so there’s no real point. People have asked me to shoot or do video work and my friend who goes by the name Sogross basically just taught me to diversify my skillset and so if an artist wants me to go on tour for a couple months and do all the visuals and creatives I can do that.

PM: But you’re still doing album art, it is still your main focus; and there is now the question of why it’s relevant. Akon recently tweeted making fun of even caring about album artwork anymore...

M: Akon’s on bullshit man

PM: [Laughs] so then why is it relevant then in your mind?

M: It’s the most important thing towards marketing and building your brand and fan base. Off the top, cover art is an art form so it needs to be maintained. But that whole idea of branding is important, it’s like saying ‘why do we need advertisements for companies?’ It makes no sense. That is literally the equivalant. Its part of the marketing, and of course, its part of the vision.

PM: But what about album covers with no art? Like Yeezus?

M: Still art. Still branding. That’s totally art and expression and what the artist wanted to display. It was curated by Joe Perez , dude is so smart. But it’s a message against the music industry.

PM: Kanye called it the coffin or death of album covers, does he have a point?

M: Kanye is a visionary but he’s also dramatic and sometimes stupid so take everything he says with a grain of salt.

PM: While on the topic of album covers, can you tell me some that have influenced you in some way?

M: Anything Bryan Rivera does, he does Post Malone’s stuff, I don’t have specific influence from one piece or it else my art wouldn’t be my own. So maybe not specific covers but more portfolios.

PM: Can you give any secrets or hints at album covers or work you have coming soon?

M: Geez, lot of Toronto work. I don’t like talking on my moves before I make them. No reason to flex a piece before it’s done. I can speak on the fact I’ll keep working with Murda Beatz if all goes good.

PM: Nice, on top of working with musicians you’ve also worked with some other graphic designers like your friend Jeff and I know you’ve been shouted out in Justin Wilson’s interview with Untitled, so can you speak on your connections or your future in terms of collaboration?

M: The community is very tight knit. You have very industry based designers who only fuck with people in their circle and no one else. But that’s some drama LA shit. But in terms of the community, I’m in a lower tier but it’s so tight knit. I’m in group chats of about 40 different designers and creatives in the industry and everyone’s friends. The piece I recently did with Jeff for bloody hands was me just not being able to do the edits because I went out one night so I sent it to him and he got it done no problem.

PM: So what would be the dream for you then? What is the end goal or place you’d be happy ending up at?

M: I mean, I’m not going to university for graphic design; I’m going for creative industries, which is more the business behind everything I’m into. But if I could make graphic design my career I’d be the dream. Vision wise, I will realistically work with Ovo in the next 6-8 months and they’re the biggest Canadian entity and I already have work that’s been viewed millions of times by millions of people, which is unreal. I’m so happy where I am and I just enjoy being in the scene and reaping the benefits of working in music. I want to have a presence and make great work...

In the end, it comes down to the art not the clout.

PM: True, you’ve worked with some big artists such as Pierre Bourne and Killy as well as SmokePurpp. But you have to wonder who those out of reach people are for you that you desperately want to work with.

M: Migos. No doubt. Coach K and Quality Control are tight knit on what they do. But if I can work with them It’d be crazy. And anyone large and I respect. Even like on a lower scale, like Yellow days. That’d be lit. But I try not to be driven by who I’m working with and rather be driven by the quality of the art and how much money I’m making. [laughs]

PM: [laughs] Do you lose your artistic integrity in the pursuit of money or social media numbers?

M: When you work in a service industry, like I do, its not necessary sacrificing artistic integrity and instead doing what the customer wants and doing it the best I can. I will sometimes make a piece I don’t love but that my client will love because that’s what they wanted. So yeah that could be seen as losing integrity. It’s a hobby and I love it but it’s also a job, this is my part time job. Sometimes if someone does something I can’t support I’ll have to turn it down but that’s it

PM: So in those cases is it about them as a person or just not enjoying their music or vision?

M: That’s hard because so many rappers are fucking scumbags. There are so many bad people popular in rap right now, its difficult to find that line lately… actually lets stop that topic [laughs]

PM: [laughs] Yeah best to move on for now… going back to album art and design, how do you feel you’re making yourself stand out and why do you matter?

M: My shit’s hot man, my art’s sick and I can make anything anyone wants. Perfect example is Killamanjaro... Wait hold on let me pull out these texts…

[Max pulls out his phone and finds a conversation with Killy]

M: He gave me the vision of “crazy dystopian dark world art cover, needs to be crazy and memorable” and It was my job to make something sick and something worthwhile. And that’s what I want to keep having is the ability to see something in my head and then execute it to the highest degree, because that’s what makes me worthwhile and unique.

PM: For sure, thanks so much for your time man, anyone you want to shout out?

M: Shout out Liam, shout out Luke, shout out Tuti; Tuti’s my Brazilian homie who I’ve known for like 3 years and has been on this design shit forever. Also; Jeff, Dj, Trap, Zero, Jermane cause he’s putting me on right now, my parents, my sister, oh and my dog.

Paramind would like to thank Max for his time, as well as speaking his mind and giving us insight into his art and future.

One~Shot Time!

Okay so, I mentioned something about writing one~shots and boyfriend scenarios a while earlier and I was scrolling through my Wattpad one~shots and decided to post one here so I hope you guys enjoy ^////^

Why Are You Crying? 《BoKuroo One-Shot》

Warning: contains shipping (Bokuto×Kuroo) and slight Akaashi×Kenma This font means thoughts This font means talking This font means narrating

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

The day started out dull as the sun was nowhere to be found in the dark autumn clouds. This weather was common as the change in season was occurring.

Everyone was tired as one of the side effects of this change and that includes a certain young adult who was soundly sleeping on the bed, soft snores emitting here and there. His hair was all over the place on the pillow and he was in a starfish position with his blanket half on the ground and half on the bed. A small trail of drool decorated his face as his mouth was wide open.

The room was dimly lit and the figure had the opportunity to sleep in as he didn't have any college classes. But alas, the clock soon struck 1 pm and the said male groaned in annoyance. He is usually cheerful but when it comes to a dull day like this, his excitement hits zero.

Sitting up in bed, he stretched his sore limbs and rubbed his tired eyes. His eyes had to adjust to the dark room so he was somewhat blind for a while, blinking in an attempt to get rid of the fog he had in front of his eyes.

Moving the blanket that was only covering half of his body, a tall and muscular figure appeared at the window. Opening the curtains, he squinted his eyes and pouted at the bad weather outside. To make matters even worse, he was alone in his shared apartment as his boyfriend was out and in class, leaving him alone for another 2-3 hours.

That only made him pout more and he grumbled something under his breath and kept comparing himself to an acorn less squirrel, unhappy and hungry.

"There better be food in the fridge. I need a coffee too..."

As he arrived in the kitchen, his mood brightened a bit as his eyes landed upon a nicely cooked breakfast on the counter. A small note was by the rich plate of food, but he simply ignored it and dug in. Stuffing his face with the delicious food, he almost forgot about the note. With one of his hands holding a fork and the other the note, he was reading it and at the same time still eating.

"Oya, oya, oya sleepy head. Had a good sleep? You looked dead and didn't react this morning when I tried to wake you up. You must have been tired. Stop overworking yourself and enjoy some free time today. And try not to choke on the food I made you ;) ~ Kuroo P. S - I have a special surprise for someone's birthday ;)"

His hand with the fork stopped midway, merely inches away from his mouth. Birthday? Who's birthday is it? His phone was upstairs and they didn't have a calendar anywhere so he is going to ask his boyfriend when he comes back home. Problem solved.

°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•°•

It was already 3 pm when Bokuto finished cleaning the leftover dishes and made his bed upstairs. He was now seated on the couch in the living room, watching some dumb TV shows to pass some time. He was so immersed in one of them that he failed to notice the apartment door opening.

"Bro?"

The surprise was one of the factors that made Bokuto jump in the air as he turned around to look at the culprit. His cheeks turned red at the sight of his boyfriend's signature smirk.

"Still jumpy? Haven't changed Kou. I like it." "Tetsu! You're back!"

Overcoming the initial shock, Bokuto quickly jumped and crushed Kuroo in one of his famous bear hugs. His face buried in an all too familiar safe chest. A slight vibration caused by Kuroo's chuckle tickled his face as the fabric of his sweater moved by the motion.

Slim fingers wrap around Bokuto's chin and dark eyes lock with Kou's light ones. Even after a year of dating, small things like this still affect him deeply and make his love dig deeper for Kuroo by the passing second.

Two pairs of lips collide and sent shock ways through their bodies like it was their first time. The kiss stayed gentle and when they pulled apart, cheeks flushed and lips parted with their eyes still locked, Bokuto smiled happily with his adorable eye smile making Kuroo chuckle at his boyfriend's antics.

"Even though he is a college student, he is still a kid at heart."

Bokuto and Kuroo moved to the couch and cuddled up in the warm blanket. The television completely forgotten as the males enjoyed each other's company. Bokuto's head was on Kuroo's chest and his fingers made aimless patterns on it. Kuroo didn't mind that and closed his eyes, enjoying the moment.

"Testu..." "Yeah, Kou?"

His eyes slowly opened and his gaze landed on Bokuto who moved his head position and was now looking straight at Kuroo. Chuckling at his boyfriend, his fingers automatically moved to the crazy strands of hair that were covering the innocent face of his boyfriend.

"Whose birthday is it Tetsu?" "..."

He looked at his boyfriend in pure disbelief. Was he serious? How can someone forget their own birthday?

thinking he was pulling a prank on him, Kuroo looked at his boyfriend once more but the older male looked so confused that Testu couldn't help but think how cute he is.

"Kou it's your birthday." "HUUUH!?"

Scurrying off of Kuroo like his butt got electrocuted, Bokuto ran to the nearest cellphone and looked at the date. Sure enough, in big bold letters and numbers, there stood Bokuto's birthdate, the 20th of September.

While he was mentally cursing at himself, Kuroo came behind him and wrapped an arm around his chest.

"Happy birthday Koutarou."

It still took Bokuto a few extra seconds to register everything in his brain and when he did...

"OMG OMG TESTU IT'S MY BIRTHDAY!! DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!?"

Practising his jumps, Bokuto jumped around the room making the excess dust they had from not cleaning in a while, fly around the room. Even though Kuroo started coughing, Bokuto was preoccupied with celebrating.

"DO YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MEANS!!!" "Yes, Kou...Yakiniku. " "YAKINIKU!!!"

Bokuto's favourite dish echoed through the room as he energetically screamed it out, in contrast to Kuroo who calmly called it out. Yakiniku was something both of them enjoyed, so it is something both of them enjoy very much. Kuroo not as much as Bokuto but still, the boy likes to eat.

Running up to Tetsurou, Kou planted hundreds of kisses on his beloved' face. Laughing at the funny feeling, Kuroo simply pulled Bokuto into a hug and tried calming the adrenaline pumped male.

"Are we going to that awesome yakiniku place!?" "Yes, Kou and I have another surprise for you at the restaurant. And the reservation is in 3 hours, so calm down."

Kuroo said through chuckles as Bokuto's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree at the mere mention of a surprise. Bokuto bored Kuroo the next 3 hours until they finally arrived at the restaurant at 6 pm.

"Where's my surprise Kuroo?" "Look over there."

Bokuto followed the path Kuroo's finger pointed at and he couldn't help but let out a scream in utter delight. Just a few tables away, two oh-so-familiar black haired and ombre-haired boys were seated, with two empty seats opposite of them.

"OMG KEIJI! KENMA!"

Bokuto quickly ran to the two very missed males and hugged the living daylights out of them. It's been a few months since their last get-together. Both Kenma and Akaashi were third years and were still playing as setters for Nekoma and Fukurodani.

The greeting was cut short when the waiter came to tell the guys to quiet down because they were disturbing the other guests. Kuroo laughed at Bokuto's red face as he apologised to the waiter and nearby guests.

Finally, when they were seated and when they ordered, topic after topic, drink after drink, the couples went through what everything had happened the past few months. Bokuto and Kuroo were happy to hear about Kenma and Akaashi's steady relationship and that their respective teams were doing good as well. Karasuno's quick duo also was mentioned and Bokuto was happy to hear that his little apprentice was doing well.

The night was going well until the BoKuroo couple got a bit tipsy. Those drinks really took a toll on them and that could be seen from their actions. Kenma and Akaashi could only sigh from the ignorance when it comes to drinking and quickly paid the bill ready to leave.

"Kenmaaa~ kitten come *hiccup* here *hiccup*"

Kenma, still being his introvert self, cautiously approached his already drunk best friend. His eyes widen in shock as Kuroo's lips connect with his and the smell of alcohol was evident. Akaashi quickly pulled him away from his boyfriend and Bokuto stood and watched. As if the alcohol was miraculously gone from his system. The feeling of pain and sorrow ate at his heart but he tried to act drunk so that people would think he was alright.

When the four of them arrived at the dorm, Bokuto was still acting drunk but his gaze always seemed to land on Kuroo and Kenma. Kuroo was trying to steal a kiss from Kenma and something more inappropriate. The only thing he was grateful for is that Kenma was not putting up with him and denied those tries.

Soon after, the two were in bed and the faint sound of the door closing rang in Bokuto's ears. It's 2 am and he wasn't tired, not at all. Wide awake from the shock, Koutarou looked over at the softly snoring younger male and he couldn't help the tears that started clouding his vision.

"Why is the world so unfair..."

He tried staying quiet but when some of his choked sobs escaped, he ran to the bathroom. It was a failed attempt as an arm grabbed his and pulled him back. Bokuto was shocked as he thought that Kuroo was dead asleep.

Turning around, his gaze was yet again locked with Kuroo's. The taller of the two was looking down at him and stared at his boyfriend in shock and worry.

"Why are you crying?"

Shaking his head, Koutarou tried to pull away but Kuroo was just too strong. Giving up, Bokuto broke down for the first time in front of his boyfriend. Sobs shook his fragile body, his fists tightly clenching Kuroo's shirt and at the same time wetting it. Kuroo still couldn't apprehend the situation as he didn't expect the normally cheerful and fun loving guy to break down like this. He just wrapped his arms around Bokuto's shaking figure.

Seconds turned into minutes and soon it hit the one hour mark, the time it took Bokuto to finally calm down. Heavy sobs turned into soft hiccups and his shaky breath started to steady. Kuroo affectionately rubbed his back and whispered sweet words in his ears and cracked a joke or two as well.

His heart shattered at the look of Bokuto's puffy red eyes and traces of leftover tears. His gentle hand brushed them away and he gently kissed his forehead.

"Do you want to talk about it?", Kuroo's soft voice rang through the room, the storm in the background still evident. Bokuto seemed to hesitate for a moment but Kuroo was glad when he started talking.

"I'm sorry I'm not Kenma..." "Huh!?" "I'm sorry for not being your ideal type nor being good enough for you to call me kitten. Do you know Kuroo how much it hurts when I see you two together? "

Tetsurou stayed silent and awaited the next words. Where is this even coming from?

"And then when I saw them last night, I was like ok, the two of them are dating and you and I can keep our distance as a couple. But guess not..."

Kuroo opened his mouth, ready to deny those words but Koutarou shushed him.

"I did no such thing Kou wth!?" "YOU CALLED HIM KITTEN AND YOU ATE HIS FACE KUROO!? IT'S BEEN A YEAR KUROO AND YOU STILL DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT ME AS MUCH AS YOU CARE ABOUT KENMA!? YOU DON'T SEE ME HOGGING THE PHONE AND TALKING TO AKAASHI THE WHOLE DAMN NIGHT WHEN WE WERE SUPPOSED TO HAVE A MOVIE NIGHT." "That was one time..." "YOU DON'T SEE ME CALLING AKAASHI BRO BECAUSE THAT'S YOUR TITLE AND I RESPECT THAT."

Okay, so, Kuroo understood the first part but the Bro thing? Not so much. He thought that this was only just a stress reliever but when Kou started crying again, Tetsu finally realised that this was a serious matter.

"I'm sorry for making you feel neglected Kou... Can you forgive your bro?"

The comment was lighthearted and hr was glad that Bokuto stopped crying and chuckled at the comment. They can be really cheesy when they want to.

"So...let's pretend none of this happened ^^" "Hahaha anything for my kitten~" "Oh my lord...", the blush rose up on his cheeks and out of embarrassment, Kou buried his head in a comforting chest.

"...I didn't think this through right?" "Yep " "You're gonna tease me forever, right?" "That's right, that's right! Better get used to it...kitten ;)"

Groaning in his boyfriend's chest, Kou found himself in a win-lose situation. Kuroo laughed at his significant other's misery and pulled him closer towards his chest. The storm quieted down and so did the BoKuroo household as the two of them fell asleep in each other's safe and warm embrace.

~Extended ending~

"HEY HEY HEY AKAASHI!? GUESS WHAT! I'M A KITTEN NOW!" "...Bokuto-san, what club are you in?"

Tetsurou's loud laughter rang through the room as Bokuto whined about how mean Akaashi is...to Akaashi.

"YOU BETTER TREAT ME RIGHT KUROO!" "Okay XD"

Finishing his conversation with his best friend, Kou put down the phone and cuddled up to Kuroo, who was quietly reading a book.

"Oh, by the way, Kenma says hi" "Kitten said hi? Aw, he misses me~"

A huff came from the older male as he sat up and softly glared at Kuroo. With crossed arms, he closely resembled a grown child.

"Kuroo~ You said I was your kitten!" "You are...but Kenma is kitten number #1 ;)" "KUROO!"

And this is how Bokuto went into his famous emo mode and Kuroo tried to cheer him up but nothing work and he had to spend the entire day being Bokuto's slave. You can imagine the rest ^///^

Anyways enjoy this last little bit of holiday cheer. ^_^

IT’S THE MOST PUNDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR

December 1st 9:24 p.m.

“Do you really think these terrible lines of yours will ever work Chaton?”

Chat grinned as Ladybug once again rolled her eyes at his flirtation.

“Eventually,” he said lightly, leaning in so that their noses were almost touching.

“How? They are terrible! Why would anyone think that combining puns and pick up lines is attractive?” She put a finger square in the middle of his chest and pushed him, flicking his bell once he was back to his original position.

“Because it’s funny. And everyone knows women love a guy with a sense of humor.”

“Aww poor Chaton. Looks like you will die alone.”

“Hey!”

“I’m just teasing minou. There must be some poor soul out there that will put up with you.”

“Are you offering?” he asked, already bracing for yet another rejection.

“Ha. Hardly.”

And there it was.

For all their flirting- and Chat would argue to his dying breath that for all her denials she was definitely flirting back- he had never managed to get past the suggestive bantering stage of his courtship. After a year and a half of attempts it was beginning to get a little disheartening.

“Come on my lady, give me a chance? One kiss. We can call it a Christmas Miracle.” He hoped his voice didn’t sound as desperately pathetic to her as it did to him.

“Ok, you want a Christmas Miracle?” she asked, giving him a serious once over, “If you can come up with one of your horrible puns that actually makes me laugh between now and Christmas eve, I will kiss you.”

“Are you serious?” he gasped.

“Yep.”

“That’s it? Just make you laugh?” he ask, waiting for some sort of impossible catch.

“With a pun.”

Ah. There it was.

“How many am I allowed to make?” he asked cautiously, already forming a plan in his mind. It was difficult certainly, but not impossible.

“As many as I can stomach I suppose,” she replied, shrugging her shoulders and giving him playful smile.

“You must really want to kiss me after all my lady,” he teased, grasping her hand in his and brining it flirtatiously to his lips.

“No I just know that your jokes aren’t that funny. Perhaps this will teach you that as well and I can finally be free of them. It will be my Christmas present to myself.”

“We shall see, My Lady.”

Dec. 2nd 8:17am

“Alya! I need to practice hitting on you!”

“Dude!” Nino said, glaring at his best friend as he came barreling into the courtyard.”

“Not like that,” Adrien huffed, leveling his friend with an irritated scowl, “I need to know if what I am saying is funny to girls. It’s important.”

“Why can’t you just practice with me instead of hitting on my girlfriend?” Nino asked.

“Because you think everything I say is funny,” Adrien replied, waving him off.

“Dude, no one thinks you’re funny. Well, except Chloe and Lila, and that’s because they just hope that if they smile at you enough you will date them.”

“Yeah I figured that out already, thanks,” Adrien said sulking.

“So why can’t you just practice with me?” Nino asked again. “As your number one bro, I am insulted that my wing manning duties are being usurped.”

“Because, regardless of how much you make fun of me you still laugh at my jokes. Even if its 95% pity that still counts. I need a tougher critic.”

“What is this even about anyways?” Alya said, placing a placating hand on her boyfriend’s shoulder before he could interrupt again.

“I made a bet,” Adrien said, “a very important bet, and I need to make someone laugh between now and Christmas or I will lose. So are you guys gonna help me or not?”

“Why don’t you just memorize some good jokes?” Alya offered.

“It can’t be just any joke, it has to be a pun,” Adrien replied, sitting down on the bench beside her.

“Well you’re screwed,” Nino said.

“So much for being my number one bro,” Adrien scowled glaring, which only caused Nino to laugh harder.

“Hey part of being a good friend is being honest, even when it hurts.”

“So Alya can you help me or not?” Adrien said giving her his best puppy eyes.

“I mean I can try but I don’t know if I am the best person to ask. I actually have a pretty high appreciation for terrible jokes.”

“It’s true, Nino added, “she howls like a hyena when we watch sit coms.”

“What the hell Nino!”

“I told you babe, honesty is an important part of any relationship,” he said, casually leaning back against the bench.

“So Adrien, if I break up with Nino want to be my rebound relationship?” Alya said scooting away from Nino and leaning in towards Adrien with a playful wink.

“Hey!”

“Honesty is an important part of any relationship honey,” Alya said dryly, still pointedly looking away from her boyfriend.

Adrien choked down a laugh and raised an eyebrow at his grinning friend.

“I donnow, I feel like our romance would be fated to be a tragic tale of grief and despair.”

“E tu Adrien?” Nino cried.

“This would be a rebound relationship not a romance,” Alya said. “I’m thinking 1-2 months tops of overly elaborate dates and excessively passionate lovemaking, possibly an exotic trip together that just screams emotional overcompensation, before we inevitably break up and go back to being friends.”

“Oh. Well in that case sure, sounds like a plan.”

“I hate you both so much right now,” Nino grumbled.

“Going back to your original problem though,” Alya said, “you know who would be a great person for you to ask for help? Marinette.”

“Really?”

“Yeah, she hates puns. She loves to complain about this guy from work who never stops making them. If you can make her laugh you will be good to go.”

“But if she hates puns so much won’t this be a terrible idea? I mean it took almost a year to get her to talk to me without looking like she wanted to run out of the room. I don’t really want to screw that up again.”

Alya and Nino exchanged excited glances and Adrien felt a knot of nervousness forming in the pit of his stomach.

“It will be fine trust me. She will be delighted to help.”

…

Dec. 2nd 11:45pm

“So, do you think you could help me?” Adrien pleaded, hoping that his extremely vague request for assistance would be enough to enlist Marinette’s help.

“Of course I want to help. I love you- I MEAN I would love TO!” Marinette babbled, her face having gone from the rosy pink it was at the start of the conversation to a deep scarlet.

“Ok great,” Adrien sighed. “See the thing is… ok this is kinda embarrassing…” She looked at him expectantly, clearly ready to help him with whatever crazy project he was looking to take on. “I need to practice seeing if I can make you laugh. You see I made this bet and it’s really important that I win.”

“You will be great. I am sure it won’t be any trouble at all to get me to laugh,” Marinette assured him smiling brightly.

Adrien felt himself relax. As terrifying as the bet might be given the stakes, at least now he had an ally. Besides Marinette was ridiculously nice.

“Well the thing is Alya says that you hate puns-“

“p-puns?”

“-and the catch is that it can’t be any joke it has to be a pun.”

Marinette paled, her eyes going wide and her jaw dropping in shock.

“puns… YOU have to… a bet… with puns?”

Well it looked like Alya hadn’t been kidding about her dislike of puns. Adrien felt his own cheeks going warm at the likely hours of torture he was going to have to inflict on his poor friend.

“Yeah, I have from now until Christmas Eve to come up with something-“

“Ch-christmas… oh god…” Marinette staggered back a few paces looking at him like she had never seen him before.

“-and Alya mentioned that you hate puns-“ Adrien continued guiltily, wondering if this entire plan had been a horrible mistake.

“this can’t be happening,” Marinette muttered under her breath.

“-so she thought that you would be the perfect person to practice on.” Adrien finished, his hand going nervously to the back of his neck as he watched Marinette take several deep calming breaths.

“Marinette are you ok?” he ask, wondering if he should just tell her that this entire thing had been a prank and that she should forget all about it before running away as fast as he could manage.

“Yeah. Yeah, I’m fine, its fine. Everything is fine. It’s just a coincidence that’s all. A really funny coincidence.” She gave him an awkward smile.

“What is?” he asked confused.

“OH there is this guy, uh, from work, and I kinda made a bet with him that he couldn’t make me laugh before Christmas either,” Marinette said, giving him a strange probing look. “I was just surprised that I would find myself having a similar conversation with… well… you.”

Adrien let out a soft sigh of relief, she wasn’t upset, thank god.

“Oh, right, the guy Alya said you hate.”

Marinette choked, her face once again going a brilliant shade of red.

“I don’t hate him! He’s a great guy. I just don’t… I mean didn’t… want to encourage him.”

“Well this will be good practice for both of us I guess,” Adrien said sheepishly, hoping that he hadn’t completely destroyed his friendship with Marinette with this latest harebrained scheme to woo over his Lady.

“Yeah, it will definitely be a learning experience,” Marinette replied with an enigmatic smile.

…

December 6th 3:57 pm

Adrien sat with his elbows propped against the library table where he had been practicing his latest round of puns with Marinette. Thus far he had had no success even getting her to crack a smile, she had simply sat at listened like there would be a test on the subject later. It didn’t bode well for his patrol tonight with Ladybug. Oh well. He had time, and this was their first attempt. He gave Marinette an encouraging smile as he pried for information about her own pun related wager.

“So he has a crush on you?” “Kinda? I don’t think it’s very serious, he’s just a total flirt,” she said softly, not meeting his eyes.

“What makes you think he isn’t serious?” Adrien asked curiously.

“He flirts with puns,” she moaned, rolling her eyes in an endearingly agitated gesture, and Adrien couldn’t resist a soft laugh.

“I would think that would mean he is more serious,” he said tilting his head thoughtfully.

“Why is that?”

“Well, the only people you tell puns to are people you either really hate, or really like. Because either you are trying to make them angry, or you are trying to get them to like you even at your most pathetic.”

Marinette’s mouth quirked in surprise and she gave him a soft, fond smile.

“Are you speaking from personal experience?” she asked, fixing him with a stare that made his heart speed up in an uncomfortable staccato.

“Maybe.” He was the one who looked away.

“Well you’re telling me puns,” she stated flirtatiously. Since when did Marinette flirt? “So do you really like me or really hate me?”

“We are practicing.” Adrien said flatly, hoping that the heat he felt across his skin wasn’t as visible as it felt.

“I’m just teasing,” Marinette laughed.

Adrien felt like an idiot. It wasn’t her fault that he couldn’t handle her innocent flirtations. They were friends for God’s sake! Friend’s flirted all the time. Alya flirted with him regularly, heck so did Nino! Why should it matter that this was Marinette? Marinette with her too wide smiles and adorable freckles and… he was getting off topic.

He was a suave, handsome, intelligent, millionaire supermodel/superhero. He was NOT about to fall apart over a little platonic flirting. He fixed a playful smile on his face and channeled his inner Chat Noir.

“If I had to choose, I would have to go with really like you. It was a close call though. After all, I don’t know if I could really be close to someone who doesn’t appreciate my amazing sense of humor.” He gave her a wink and Marinette burst into peals of delighted laughter.

He ignored the way the sound made the muscles in his gut clench.

“No wonder you have so few friends,” she said, but her expression softened into a look of infinite fondness.

“Ouch. That hurts Marinette. Right here.”

“I’m just teasing and you know it.”

“Nope. I am grievously offended. I shall be in an ill humor all day,” he said, unable to resist the playful banter that seemed to make her entire face light up in happy delight.

“You’re humor is always ill,” she said, her eyes shining.

Adrien leaned in across the table, with a smirk.

“Your lack of support sickens me.”

“Oh no.”

“I feel like my heart has been transplanted.”

“I brought this on myself didn’t I?” Marinette moaned burying her face in her arms.

“How will I put up with this cancerous friendship?”

“Still not funny.”

“My optometrist thinks my humor is visionary.”

“I think your funny bone is broken.”

…

Dec. 6th 10:28pm

“Really My Lady? Not even a giggle?”

“I think you had better keep practicing Chaton.”

“Be warned Buginette, I have found someone to help me in my quest, someone who had agreed to help me discover the perfect pun no matter how long it takes.”

Ladybug simply smiled knowingly. “Lucky girl.”

…

Dec. 13th 3:55 pm

“Oh God, Adrien! I think your puns are getting worse…”

“Say it isn’t sew!”

“Just kill me now.” “But Marinette, these jokes are tailored just for you! Haven’t you noticed a pattern?”

“You are so lucky I like you.”

“So it would seam.”

“Are you seriously going to spend the entire day making fashion and sewing puns?”

“I thought it was fitting. Besides, after our last session my supply of generic puns has been de-pleat-ed.”

“And I thought the bakery puns were the lowest we could get. Are any of these comedy masterpieces working on your mystery girl?”

“Sadly she is still proving about as hard to crack as you are. But I am optimistic that I will be successful with a few alterations. How are things going with your co-worker?”

“He’s having about as much success as you are.”

“Maybe he just needs to pin down what you like instead of skirting around the subject.”

“I donnow, he might get there eventually if he keep needling.”

“Damn, why didn’t I think of that one.”

…

Dec.19th 11:27pm

“Still nothing?”

“Sorry Chaton, looks like you still need to keep working.”

“You know my poor friend is getting tortured daily helping me with this project. Can’t you just give me a laugh for her sake? Put the poor girl out of her misery?”

“I have a feeling that she can take care of herself. Better luck next time Minou.”

…

Dec. 24th 10:19am.

“I am so screwed aren’t I?”

“Who knows? You might get lucky? And for what it’s worth I think you are getting better. Even if puns are still the worst possible form of humor.”

“Well, no matter what happens, this is the last day. Thanks for everything Marinette.” Adrien said, handing her a steaming hot chocolate from the park vendor. “I honestly don’t know how you’ve managed to put up with me for all of this but… it really means a lot to me. You’re… you’re pretty amazing.”

Marinette blushed, giving him a shy smile before taking a long blissful sip of her chocolate. “It was my pleasure Adrien.”

“Even with all the puns?”

“Even with the puns. There is a lot more to you than I realized and I just want to say that… well… I’m glad. Really, really glad.”

Adrien could feel himself flush at the compliment and tried to hide his own flattered smile behind his own peppermint chocolate.

“Well thanks again for meeting with me over the holiday, I guess I’m as ready as I am gonna be.”

“You’re going to be fine.” She said softly, her own cheeks glowing a soft pink that made her freckles stand out even more prominently across her pale skin.

“Well I should probably go,” Adrien said, wondering distractedly if her eyes had always been such an intense shade of blue.

“Right.”

Neither of them moved for several seconds, their breath creating clouds of steam in the air around them. Marinette licked her lips unconsciously and Adrien felt his whole body leaning forward at the tempting gesture.

“Right! Well I guess I’ll see you at Nino’s party in a few days,” Adrien said, “later!” He turned and began walking away before he could do anything stupid.

“Hey Adrien!” she called after him. “Yeah?” he looked back over his shoulder. “What would you say if I told you that I like you?” she asked with a nervous smile, bouncing a little on her toes.

“I like you to,” he said fondly.

“No, I mean like… if I told you that I have a crush on you?” she said, not dropping her gaze.

“Oh.” Adrien could swear that the air had just been forcibly removed from his lungs.

“Yeah,” she laughed.

“Oh,” he said again stupidly.

“I’m not saying that I do,” she added hurriedly, her shimmering blue eyes still unwaveringly locked on his own, “I’m just saying if I did… if let’s say after Christmas I asked you if you wanted to go see a movie, or get coffee, or something…”

“Wow… um… I… I don’t …”

“This is all hypothetically of course,” she grinned that large, crooked, awkward grin that he had always found so insanely cute.

“Of- of course,” he swallowed.

“Since you will probably have a girlfriend by then.”

He raised his eyebrow skeptically. Regardless of his efforts, he had thus far yet to come close to making either of the girls in his life laugh with his ridiculous puns.

Marinette ignored him and continued.

“But, you know, in some other universe where you didn’t, where this other girl didn’t exist. If I ask you out on a date, what do you think you would say?”

Adrien could barely think over the sound of the blood rushing in his ears. His mind seemed to be caught on an endless loop of what if, what if what if…

“It’s… it’s hard to say really. I mean I like you, a lot,” he managed to stammer out at last.

“Hypothetically,” she said teasingly.

“Right Hypothetically. And hypothetically… I mean, I wouldn’t want you to just be some kind of rebound. Cause while a couple of months of- how did Alya describe it? Elaborate dating coupled with excessively passionate lovemaking before the inevitable break up?- With you… well most of that sounds pretty fantastic I am not going to lie, but… you deserve better than a guy who’s trying to get over some other girl. And hypothetically I don’t think getting rejected would just make those feelings go away.”

“And what if, hypothetically, I said I didn’t mind? That I know all of that, and was willing to take that risk?”

Adrien wondered if the world had somehow come to a hault, if they were trapped in some sort of timeless bubble. He was sure that his heart had stopped, that his blood was frozen in his veins as he stood at this unexpected crossroads.

He knew what he should say- let her down gently, keep their friendship safe and secure in light of his own hopeless pining. Everything he had said was true. She deserved better. She deserved someone who would adore her the way she deserved to be adored without the complications and baggage of an unattainable and undying crush on someone else. Someone who by necessity he couldn’t completely walk away from even if he wanted to.

But as he stared into her shining, hopeful face, he couldn’t do the right thing. Just this once he wanted to be selfish.

“Well…” he breathed, unable to stop the words from spilling from his lips, “In that case… I guess… I would say yes.”

“Oh,” she said softly, her awestruck expression the most brilliant thing he had ever seen.

“Hypothetically,” he added, his own mouth curving into a soft smile.

“Right,” she grinned taking a hesitant step forward and absently adjusting his scarf, “But hypothetically if you didn’t already have a girlfriend-”

“Potential girlfriend-”

She gave him a playful glare and yanked on the end of the scarf.

“If you didn’t already have a girlfriend, you would… you wouldn’t mind…”

He reached up and caught her hand in his, she froze her face flushing as she leaned ever so slightly towards him. With his other hand he tucked a stray piece of hair behind her hair.

“If it wasn’t for her, I probably would have asked you out ages ago,” he said softly. “Hypothetically.”

“Hypothetically.”

He gave her hand a light squeeze and then, with a monumental effort, stepped away, heading back towards the entrance to the park.

“Hey Adrien?” she called again, when he had almost reached the end of the path.

“Yeah?”

“Good luck. I have a really good feeling that things are going to work out,” she gave him a jaunty salute not unlike the one he often used as Chat Noir. He chuckled lightly at the irony.

“Well that makes one of us.”

“Have some faith, it’s Christmas after all. Even puns seem shiny and new,” she shouted out teasingly.

“Well it is the most punderful time of the year,” he shot back with a grin.

Marinette just stared at him for a second before she burst out into peals of laughter, her eyes shining with genuine delight and her cheeks still stained a soft pink.

His traitorous heart skipped a beat.

“Hey I finally made you laugh,” he called, unable to take his eyes off of the lovely girl in front of him.

“It’s a Christmas miracle,” Marinette replied with a grin, playfully reaching up and playing with her pigtails.

Adrien could feel his cheeks burning, and for the first time a small voice in the back of his mind whispered that perhaps losing this bet wouldn’t be such a terrible thing.

That thought alone was enough to make him rush from the park in panic, calling out a hurried goodbye to Marinette as he sprinted away, the sound of her laugher still echoing in his ears.

…

Dec. 24th 11:00pm

“So my Lady, how are you this fine Christmas eve?” Chat Noir said, desperately hoping that he wasn’t going to throw up due to his nervousness. He sidled up to Ladybug who had already made herself quit comfortable at their pre-determined meeting place.

“Actually I have had a pretty spectacular day so far,” she smiled, stretching her legs out in an innocently playful gesture that made his mouth go dry. “I got the answer to a question I’ve been wondering about for a pretty long time.”

“Oh? And what would that be?” he asked, his attention still locked in the teenaged boy haze of her unconscious posturing. How was it that she managed to seem more attractive every time he saw her?

“I’ll tell you later. Besides aren’t you supposed to be dazzling me with your wit?” she teased.

Chat cleared his throat and focused back on the task at hand. He had a bet to try and win. This was not the time to be getting distracted. Not even by his lady’s ridiculously well-toned legs.

“Make no mistake My Lady, I have come prepared. I guarantee that before this night is through you will see the true greatness of my punny humor.”

Ladybug gave him a sly smile and scooted a little closer.

“Well,” she said grinning, “it is the most punderful time of the year.”

“What… no! You can’t say that!” Chat cried, “I was going to say that and you were supposed to laugh and-“

He was cut off as Ladybug’s lips covered his own.

It was like the entire world had ground to a screeching hault. She was kissing him! She was kissing HIM!

“Silly kitty,” she gave him another gentle peck against his lips before pulling away, “you already did.”

“Wait wha…” he stammered, his brain trying desperately to reorient itself after their kiss. It didn’t help that Ladybug had cuddled into his side, her head resting on his shoulder as she nuzzled her nose into his neck.

Not that he was complaining mind you, but it was making it very difficult to think.

“I love you Adrien,” she sighed, lifting her head and placing a feather light kiss against his jaw.

“What? But- How!”

She didn’t answer. Instead, she continued to leave a trail of kisses up the side of his face.

“I love everything about you,” she said between kisses, “Even your stupid terrible jokes. I’m just so happy that it’s you.”

She met his lips again and this time he was able to rally himself enough to wrap his arms around her, pulling her closer as she deepened the kiss. She nibbled questioningly on his lower lip and he let out a soft moan of pleasure, melting into her.

When they finally broke the kiss he squeezed her tightly to his chest, not even caring about the hows or the whens… she was here, with him. She loved him. Did anything else even matter?

“I love you too. So much,” he sighed, burying his face into her neck.

“Merry Christmas Adrien.”

“Merry Christmas my Lady.”

For the next few minutes there were no words, only the sound of two hearts beating amidst the occasional quiet gasps for air as they kissed in the moonlight.

Adrien took back every harsh thought he had ever had about Nino’s longwinded ramblings about the merits of kissing. Kissing was fantastic. If anything Nino hadn’t done it enough justice. Or maybe it was just that he was finally kissing his Lady, and as in so many other things she simply exceeded normal expectations.

Eventually though they had to break apart, smiling and breathing heavily.

“So… If I were to ask you out on a date after Christmas, would you say yes?” she asked with a mischievous glint in her eye.

“Of course. Although our choices might be a little limited give the whole secret identity thing. Well at least on your part,” he laughed.

“What if I said that we didn’t have to keep everything a secret anymore? No masks, just us. The real us. What if I told you that I could meet you for coffee? You know, hypothetically.”

She gazed up at him flirtatiously as the familiar words clicked in his mind.

“…Marinette?”

There was a flash of pink light and her transformation melted away revealing an extremely satisfied and prettily made up Marinette. Clearly she had planned this entire thing from the beginning.

“Hello Kitty,” she said shyly. She wrung her hands together, a soft blush gracing her features, and for the first time Adrien realized that she must have been just as terrified as he had been this whole time.

“Oh thank god.”

“You are a monster my Lady.”

“What?” Marinette pulled away slightly to stare at him, her eyes narrowed suspiciously at his playful chiding.

“I am serious,” Adrien said, trying and failing to maintain a serious expression, “do you have any idea that kind of torture you put me through today? I’ve been an absolute wreck.”

“And that is my fault?” she asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I’ll have you know that I was fully prepared to throw in the towel and give up on you-“

“oh really?”

“-let you run off with the classmate you were clearly smitten over-“

“Which was you by the way-“

“And accept that we would never be anything more than friends.”

“You already told me this as Marinette you realize.”

“Meanwhile my stunningly beautiful and incredible classmate tells me that she has a crush on me-“

“hypothetically.”

“-and wants to date me-“

“again hypothetically.”

“-leaving me wracked with guilt and confusion for the whole afternoon! Because here I was getting excited, excited mind you, at the idea of you turning me down, because then I could date Marinette. After months upon months of being hopelessly in love with you. What sort of a terrible person did that make me? Crushing on two girls at the same time. And here you were the same person this whole time, and you just let me suffer in ignorance.”

“Aw poor kitty.”

“Like I said my Lady, a monster,” he sighed dramatically.

“You’re right, I am a horrible beast. However shall I make it up to you?”

“I demand 100 kisses in apology.”

“Ok,” she laughed, snuggling contentedly into his embrace.

“And a box of macarons.”

…

December 25th 1:35am

The two heroes sat atop the forward ledge of Norte Dame, occasionally waving down at the crowd that had begun emerging from the Christmas Vigil service. Neither had wanted to go home after their revelation and this was the first excuse that had come to mind.

Chat planted a playful kiss on Ladybugs cheek eliciting an excited cry from the crowd below.

“You know, I think that it’s appropriate that we got together at Christmas,” he said entwining his fingers with hers and delighting at the soft blush that stained her cheeks in response.

“Why is that?” she said, still looking down and waiving to the crowd.

“Well it’s a nice parallel to when we first really became friends,” he said casually, a teasing smile playing at the corners of his lips.

“As Ladybug and Chat Noir?” she said, finally looking at him with a confused expression.

“No as Marinette and Adrien,” he said, holding in his laughter at her look of absolute bafflement.

“What does that have to do with Christmas?” she asked suspiciously.

“Don’t you remember all the rain dear? Get it Reindeer…” Chat broke into a Cheshire grin as Ladybug groaned, letting her head fall against his shoulder in pretend misery.

“Oh God, this is my life now isn’t it?” she stated resignedly.

“You know you love me,” he said softly, gently cupping her chin and tilting her face to meet his adoring gaze.

“Yes. I really do.”

The crowd around Notre Dame Cathedral let out a triumphant cheer as the two heroes shared a long, lingering kiss.
