Welcome to the mind of Aria The Nightmare. Some call me Aria The Experimental instead. Not much to say about my former home of Elious. It was a beautiful place before everything went to ruins. Excuse the mess, I have yet to do some house cleaning. As for about me- Female, 20, Human. I tend to use what ever mana is around and at the moment it is that of white and black. You'll find me hanging around on the plane of Ay and Ara. Everynow and then I keep one of my 'pets' from those worlds with me via a spell or their own free will. In Ay and Ara most know me by the name of Witch Of Blood.(#8801). Ask The MTG Fandom
I don't know if this would count as an ask but this has been on my mind for a bit.
I haven't seen much of the Tangled event and I thought that since to break the curse they have to follow the story, does that mean one of them would hit someone on the head with a frying pan like Rapunzel did. It won't leave my mind so I had to say something.
kinda! Ace gives them a frying pan as part of the cookware, and they have a bit where they puzzle over the part of the legend that says the princess used a frying pan to lock a "huge thief" in a closet. through careful scientific determination and rigorous problem-solving -- oh no, sorry, they think about it for literally two seconds and then immediately stuff Jack into a closet because he's the tallest one there. then they are shocked, simply shocked that this doesn't break the curse. :(
no word on whether or not the frying pan was actually involved, but I like to think they at least tried. you know, just in case.

warning: none
- please tell him to take a god dang break.
- the first thing that’s going to happen is for him to retort and refuse to take a break. you know that he has things to tend to for monstro lounge but please dear sir, listen to your s/o.
- once he does give in, you and him went to his room, watch a movie, and maybe play a board game.
- obviously, you two would need something to eat so i would imagine you two would try to cook something! maybe a comfort meal for the two of you.
- if you’re the better cook, then you help azul cook. don’t worry it’s still a team effort.
- once food is cooked and ready, i believe you two watch a romantic movie together. if romance is not your thing, perhaps you should chat amongst yourselves to see which movie you two should watch!
- bed time is the time where i believe azul wants to spend the most time with you. curled up in bed, snuggling each other and never letting go. you are his safe space, his comfort and joy. there’s nothing more to azul than spending time with you, in the comfort of your arms.

School life at Hope’s Peak was strange; there were so many different personalities and talents. Normal wasn’t a word you could use to describe the days here at this school because something was always happening; someone would always do something new and advance their talent in some way, making some gaze in awe while other Ultimates strived to better their abilities as well. Sometimes it felt like a never-ending competition to become the best Ultimate student, but everyone was unique in their own way, so it was never easy to claim one student was better than another. Nevertheless, they’d always try to one-up one another, and it would end up as something fantastic or something disastrous.
Shuichi Saihara was the new Ultimate detective to take Kyoko Kirigiri’s place after she had graduated; though she was already gone, he sometimes felt like he was just standing in the shadow she had left behind. But never mind all that, it wasn’t too bad to where he was really in his feelings about it. Just sometimes, the teachers and older students tended to compare him with her, but he was able to get used to that after a while. But who knows, maybe someday he’ll outshine her.
After classes, students had the time to do whatever they wanted as long as it pertained to their talent, though some students sometimes didn’t even attend classes. It was a problem, but it wasn’t like a lot of the teachers cared as long as they were being productive. When class was over, Shuichi now had the task of figuring out what to occupy himself with until the day was over. Even if being the Ultimate detective sounded like an exceptional talent, it wasn’t like he was being asked to solve big cases or anything of that nature, so he tended to spend much of his time bored. He tended to check around to see what his other classmates were up to; sometimes, he’d even go and see what his upperclassman were up to if they weren’t incredibly busy.
As he was walking through the hallways, looking around to see what everyone was doing, his attention was caught by the sounds of some loud explosions followed by an all too familiar scream.
Shuichi sighed and shook his head. “Again, Miu..?” He comments to himself as he starts walking toward her lab.
Miu was a combination of the most intelligent and stupidest girl in their class, not to mention one of the most vulgar. Her brain was filled with nothing but brilliant ideas that were sure to impress anyone; however, sometimes, she’d make some questionable things that were definitely dangerous and would use Kiibo as her little test subject. Occasionally, this would result in Kiibo getting hurt somehow or both of them getting the impact of the disaster. Shuichi would wonder why Kiibo would stay, considering his well-being would be in danger sometimes. It was probably because Kiibo was too nice, and also, Miu was the only person that really knew how to fix him, so he’d be giving that up if he left, for whatever reason.
Lately, Shuichi had noticed that Kiibo had been getting into accidents a lot more thanks to Miu’s inventions. While it made Shuichi wearier to enter the lab, it also made him more curious about what was happening. There was nothing better to do at the moment, and he’d rather find out the issue than just sit around. So, giving into curiosity, he entered the lab to see a soot-covered Kiibo at his feet as he opened the door.
As he helped him up, Miu came running over. “Holy shit Kiibo, you alive?” Miu asked, dropping the cigar she had in her mouth.
As Kiibo got up, he groaned and rubbed his head before answering. “Miu! Please, I know you could probably fix me, but make sure these things are 100% safe so that this doesn’t happen again! I may be made of metal, but it still hurts..”
“It’s a fuckin’ work in progress! I can’t always promise it not to blow up! That’s why it’s a fuckin’ work in progress!” Miu replied, seeming frustrated.
She grabbed another one of the huge cigars on her desk and lit it. Miu had created a cigar that gave the user the sensation of smoking without actually being harmful to the user. In her own words, ‘Why would she ever want to harm her brilliant and sexy body with normal cigars!’ Though, she usually used them when she was stressed about something and wanted to relax, which was a sign that something was wrong.
“Is everything okay, Miu? Your inventions don’t usually blow up like this.” Shuichi asks.
While it was something known that sometimes Miu’s inventions would have some disastrous outcomes, it was unlike her to make so many inventions that failed in a row. So the fact that Kiibo seemed to get blown up more often recently was more of a sign that there was a problem.
“I don’t fuckin’ know Shuichi! My inventions have been shit! I just wanna hurry up and achieve my goal!”
“What goal?” He questioned.
“Get this, Shuichi! I’m making myself a rocket! And not just any rocket! The best rocket in the entire fuckin’ world! I’m gonna be one the first inventors to launch myself to the moon! And thus began the operation ‘Blast off!’” She cackled. “I’m going all the way to the moon, and Kiibo is comin’ with me!”
“Miu… I don’t think I’d do well there; I wasn’t built for areas that aren’t on our planet…” Kiibo warned.
“Details, Details. Anyways! As the greatest and smartest being to ever walk the planet! I’ve been trying to develop the best fuckin’ rocket there is to make every other one built seem like dog shit!”
“But I guess that hasn’t been going well, huh..?” Shuichi questioned.
“No fuckin’ shit, genius.” She huffed. “I need more help than just Kiibo”
“Am I not enough, Miu…?”
“You’re fine dumbass! It’s just it’d be more effective with more people”
“Oh,”
Shuichi knew where this was about to go, so he was about to leave, but Miu promptly grabbed his arm, with a giant grin on her face. Shuichi let out a sigh; he knew he wasn’t going to get out of this one; there was no arguing or disagreeing with Miu once she got going.
“Shuichi! You’re going to help me, and Kiibo build this fuckin’ rocket!!”
“I don’t really have a choice now, do I…?”
“Nope!”
He was terrified, to say the least; if Kiibo was getting hurt and he was made entirely of metal, there was no way he wouldn’t end up in a hospital by the end of this. The only thing he could do was pray that with his help, maybe Miu could make a breakthrough and he wouldn’t have to experience any horrid malfunctions or anything of the sort.
If only it were that simple..
Shuichi began working as Miu’s lab rat the next day, and the first thing he did was help Kiibo work on the ship's engine. What made Miu think he could help with that? Who knows, but luckily Kiibo was able to break the instructions that Miu gave down enough to the point he could understand… well… partly. He still honestly had no clue what he was doing, so when Kiibo had gone to go take a break, he was entirely lost.
“Uhh, where was this wire supposed to go..?” He muttered to himself as he looked cluelessly at the device.
He didn’t dare ask Miu for help even though he probably should’ve, but she was busy, and he didn’t want to disturb her cause if he did, she’d definitely start yelling at him for being a dumbass. He could probably figure this out, right? It was simple! The wire was supposed to go right here!
…
…
BOOM!!
When Shuichi put the wire where he assumed it should go, it didn’t take long for a spark to light and ignite the engine, and of course, the engine's reaction to being on fire was to explode.
“AHH-”
Shuichi let out a scream as he was launched into the lab wall leaving a bit of a crater in the wall behind him. Everything had gone blurry for a moment, and he couldn’t hear anything but ringing in his ears. He should’ve figured this would happen, considering he didn’t know what he was doing; he should’ve just asked Miu for help.
“HOLY SHIT, SHUICHI, ARE YOU OKAY!?” Miu asked as she ran over with Kiibo.
Shuichi was only able to utter a simple word before he blacked out.
“No..”
And with that, Shuichi was down for the count, out cold and lifeless. Miu had quickly checked for his pulse, to which she sighed in relief. The impact wasn’t enough to kill him, but he’d definitely be out for a while, so he was no help at the moment.
“Well, thank fuck he ain’t dead.” She huffed. “Well, the engine is fucked, and we’re down, one man. So I guess it’s just you and me, Kiibo!” She cackles.
Kiibo only sighed in defeat; there was no way he was getting out of this now. “Shouldn’t we at least take Shuichi to the infirmary to ensure he isn’t injured any further?”
Miu paused for a moment to think, stroking her chin and puffing some smoke from her cigar before shaking her head.
“Nope! He’ll be fine! I can promise ya, Keebs; there won’t be any more incidents like that!”
“I could’ve sworn when we started this entire project; you told me you couldn’t promise me that things wouldn’t go wrong sometimes,” Kiibo muttered.
He could only hope that something detrimental wouldn’t happen to where Shuichi would get even more hurt than he already was. So, despite Shuichi being out cold on the floor, the duo continued to work; Miu was determined to see this project through to the end, no matter how many failures came in the way of her success; it was simply just trial and error to her, and even the best inventors experienced failures, so this was nothing she couldn’t handle.
Miu was now making a new engine since Shuichi broke the one she had already made, so while she was doing that, Kiibo was tasked with working on the wiring, ensuring everything in the rocket worked properly.
“It’s a bit robophobic you’d assume I’d be good at this..”
“What? So next time, you want me to call you a dumbass robot or something??”
“What, no- I-”
“Are you saying you don’t know what you’re fuckin’ doing!?” Miu stormed over. “God fuckin’ dammit, let me see”
Miu leaned over Kiibo, reaching into the machine to look at the wiring he was doing, not realizing… or rather not even caring how close the two were pressed up against one another. This caused Kiibo to get flustered, and since he was flustered, he began to heat up, accidentally burning Miu in the process.
“A-Ah Miu, you’re quite close-”
“OUCH KIIBO- WHAT THE FUCK-”
“I’m sorry, Miu!! B-But you’re really close-”
“Dammit, I should really fix your cooling system!!!” She groaned. “Now where the fuck is that wire- ohh….”
Miu had realized that while she was distracted, she had accidentally severed the wire she grabbed hold of.
“Shit.”
The result of that severed wire caused both of them to be electrocuted; thankfully, the shock wasn’t enough to kill them, just covering both of them head to toe in soot and knocking them out cold right along with Shuichi. Miu’s cigar even exploded, disappearing into nothing but ash onto the floor. But at least they’re not dead!
Sometime later...
After who knows how long of complete silence in the laboratory, Shuichi had awoken. Tired, battered, and a bit in a daze, he groaned and rubbed his head. He was a bit confused about what had happened until he looked around at his surroundings. He could guess he was helping Miu, and something had gone wrong. He grunted as he got up and stretched, though he had wondered why it was so quiet.
Stumbling to his feet, he leaned against the wall to support himself. He looked around once more to see if Kiibo and Miu were around so he could ask them what had happened and why they had just left him alone in such a vulnerable state. It quickly became clear to him what had taken place when he saw Miu and Kiibo not too far away, out cold. Some experience this was turning out to be; he knew building a rocket would be somewhat of a task, but he didn’t expect it to be too much of a feat since Miu was here, but even this project was stumping her.
He went over to the duo and shook Miu awake, though he didn’t even need to shake her before she jolted awake in a panic.
“AH FUCK- DID WE DIE-”
“Um.. N-No Miu, you’re still alive….” He held his hand out to her and helped her up. “Are you hurt?”
She rubbed her head. “I’m okay, I guess.”
“Are you sure?”
Miu didn’t respond to that; she only sat down, staring at the ground. Shuichi sat next to her; he could only assume she was upset because of how bad this was going.
“So, what do you want to do now..?” He questioned.
“I don’t fuckin’ know Shuichi. It’s not like I can back down; you know how bad that’ll look for me!?”
“The Ultimate Inventor failing at inventing a rocket? Yeah, I guess that won’t look too good.”
“I’ll be a fuckin’ laughing stock, and I might not get any big opportunities anymore. I could even lose my title as ‘The Ultimate Inventor’ and get kicked out….”
“Well, I doubt the school will go that far over one mistake. You’ve said it yourself; the result won’t be perfect every time. Besides, this is your ambition rather than an assignment.”
“But I’ve been at this shit for weeks, Shuichi! I know damn well you’ve noticed all the explosions!”
“Yeah… Well. Maybe I can look at the blueprint you made and see if there’s anything you need to change.”
She got up and went over to Kiibo, taking him over to her workbench to fix him up. “You think you’d be able to tell?”
“Well, there’s no harm in trying, right?” Shuichi honestly had no idea if he could improve it; he just wanted to reassure Miu that this operation could be saved.
Miu pointed to a blueprint at her work desk; Shuichi then made his way over and looked at it. There were various scribbles, revisions, and edits to the plan. She was definitely dedicated to making sure this turned out perfect, and everything seemed fine except…
“Hey, Miu?”
“Yeah? What is it?”
“I noticed that the materials you’ve listed on this blueprint are different than the ones we’re using..”
“Oh yeah… I didn’t have the funds to get the materials I wanted, so I had to settle for the cheap stuff.”
“Well, that could be the reason why things keep blowing up and breaking, because the materials are too poor in quality to work with.”
“Well then, what could I do? I don’t have the money to buy all that stuff! I wanted to build the base out of tungsten; that shit will cost a lot of money because of how much we’ll be using.”
“Well, how about this? We use some of the materials you wanted that aren’t super expensive, and for the more expensive materials, I’ll look for something that’s cheap but not so poor in quality to where we can’t work with it.”
“You’d do that for me..?”
“Well, I did say I’d help, and if it stops this operation from being such a hazard to you and Kiibo, I’d be more than willing to help.”
Miu’s eyes lit up. “Well, what’re you standing around for!? Get your ass moving! Chop Chop! This rocket ain’t gonna build itself!” She picked up another one of the cigars from her desk and lit it with a blow torch before continuing to work on Kiibo.
Shuichi spent the rest of the day gathering the materials they needed with the help of the school. Thankfully, they were more than willing to provide some extra funds to help Miu out to the relief of Shuichi. As much as he was happy to help Miu out with the whole financial issue, even with all the cuts, the total cost was still something he’d never be able to afford alone; it was no wonder why Miu had gotten all those cheap materials, they were probably things she alone could afford without any help. Shuichi could guess she never asked the school for help with funds for the project because of how embarrassed she was of how it was turning out for her. He couldn’t blame her; Miu didn’t really seem like the type to ask for help from the school anyways, she either did things by herself or she’d get Kiibo to help her.
The next day, the trio started work back up again, things going a lot more smoothly since they had better materials to work with, not to mention Shuichi learned his lesson and would ask Miu or Kiibo for help if he wasn’t so sure about where something went. He did not want to end up in a wall again or halting the progress of this project and destroying Miu’s morale, so even if he had to look like a bit of an idiot for asking so many questions, he’d take that over getting blown up again. They worked from early in the day to late at night, only stopping for lunch or bathroom breaks, the group was determined, and soon enough, they reached a good stopping point.
“Okay, you guys! We’re just about done; I can take things from here!” Miu declared.
“Are you sure, Miu? I don’t mind staying up a little later to help you fully complete it.” Kiibo said.
“Yeah, I don’t mind either,” Shuichi said.
“I’m positive. I got this, oh and Kiibo; before you go, make sure you rest up well tonight, I have another critical task for you in the morning.”
Miu had a wide grin on her face that made both Shuichi and Kiibo nervous.
“There’s another part to this process?” Kiibo asked.
“Well, duh! I gotta make sure I blast all of us to space! So there’s still some work to be done!”
“U-Uh- Miu, I told you, I don’t think I’m suited for anywhere that’s not our planet!”
“I know that! That’s what tomorrow’s all about; we’re gonna make sure you’re ready to get blasted out of this atmosphere!” She cackles.
Kiibo looked to Shuichi with a terrified expression, considering how the last few days hadn’t been the kindest to him with Miu’s shenanigans, he feared that this would do him in.
“Uh, can I come too?”
“You wanna be tested too?”
“No! No- I… I just want to be there to make sure Kiibo doesn’t get hurt… too badly.”
“Oh… sure! You can come, but you have nothing to worry about. I’ll make sure that he’s alright!”
“I’m still coming anyways, just in case.”
(Last timeskip I swear-)
Kiibo and Shuichi entered the lab the next day to see that the rocket looked fully completed and ready to launch, but they also noticed a giant cannon on the other side of the lab. Upon seeing this, Kiibo audibly gulped.
Shuichi pats his back. “There’s no way you’re going in that thing. It’s probably for something else.”
He said that with some reassurance for himself, too; while Miu was definitely one of the most intelligent people, he knew there were times where all he could do was question what was going on in her head when she created certain things or did certain things. What would they need a cannon for? Wasn’t she going to just fix Kiibo up so he could survive in a different atmosphere aside from earth’s? Or was he just blowing this all out of proportion, and the cannon was just there to be there? Was it going to serve any purpose at all? All would be revealed when Miu met up with them… all he was hoping was that he wouldn’t end up inside it.
After a few moments, Miu had appeared, a bright beaming smile on her face and a cigar in her mouth.
“Shuichi! Kiibo! I hope you slept well!”
“Yes.. it was fine. Uh... Miu… what’s the cannon for?”
“We’ll worry about that later, for now though….” A perverted grin appeared on her face, along with a slight blush. “It’s time for some upgrades~”
Kiibo only sighed. “U-Uh Shuichi… we’ll be back soon….” He said as he was being pulled away by Miu.
“Oh! Shuichi! Make sure the cannon is in working order!” Miu said before disappearing off with Kiibo.
So it was true; to his dismay, they’d be using the cannon. For what? Who knows, but he knew it was probably nothing he’d really be on board with. He again could only hope he wasn’t going to find himself inside.
He didn’t know exactly what Miu meant by making sure the cannon was in working order because he wasn’t about to get himself killed or someone hurt by firing the thing accidentally. Instead, he just inspected around it to ensure that nothing was about to break or looked like it might explode. After some looking around, he concluded that everything looked fine; honestly, he was a little upset it didn’t break down when he touched it… that would’ve discouraged Miu from using it, but there was no stopping her now. Whatever dangerous thing that was about to occur was going to happen whether he liked it or not.
When Kiibo came back, he only looked more terrified than when he first entered the lab, while Miu had this evil grin on her face.
“Oh, relax, Keebs! This is just to make sure you can withstand anything that might happen during our trip!”
“But a cannon Miu…? Doesn’t it sound the slightest bit insane and also unethical to you? I wouldn't make it if I landed wrong, just like any human!”
“Wait, what’s going on..?” Shuichi asked.
“Oh! Shuichi, the plan is I’m gonna shoot Kiibo out of the cannon there! It’s to test how he does with the extreme air pressure!”
“That’s how you’re testing that!?”
“It’s the way that’ll take the least time and give the best results! I wanna try and test this and do a launch all in the same day!”
Shuichi only sighed; this was the craziest thing he had ever heard of, but there was no way he’d be able to get out of it or talk Miu out of doing it. So he could only pray that the worst wouldn’t occur.
“Miu, please… surely there’s some other way to test that. Something safer..?”
“Nothing that doesn’t take super long! Now c’mon Keebs! Let’s get you in that, baby!”
“But-”
“No butts! C’mon!!”
Shuichi watched helplessly as Miu pushed Kiibo over to the cannon and shoved him inside; it was so surreal he couldn’t even believe it was happening. But there he stood as his friend was loaded into a cannon.
“Alright, we’re all set! Kiibo, are you secure??”
“I…I think so..?”
“Excellent!!! Shuichi! Press this button when I say go, okay?” Miu said as she shoved a button into his hand.
“Sure…”
Miu ran over to a little string that was sticking out of part of the cannon; she took the cigar out of her mouth and used it to light the string.
“Now! Shuichi!! Do it!!!”
“Sorry, Kiibo…”
Shuichi reluctantly pressed the button, and with a loud explosion, Kiibo was shot out into the sky. Miu let out a squeal of happiness that it seemed to work while Shuichi cringed at the sound of his screams, watching helplessly as he vanished with a twinkle in the sky.
“Now what?! Is…Is he gonna come back???”
“Of course he is!” Miu rolled the cannon out of the way and began laying out towels, pillows, and blankets… things that could be assumed as cushioning. “Now, c’mon! Hurry and help me lay these out for when he comes back down!”
He didn’t hesitate; he began grabbing every soft thing in the lab and helping Miu make a cushioning for when Kiibo landed.
“Miu… this is crazy.”
“And crazy is always genius! Now let’s hurry before he comes crashing down!”
“You sound less concerned and more excited….”
“Cause I know this gonna work!”
Shuichi began working faster as he heard the faint sound of Kiibo’s scream become louder and louder as he plummeted back down into the lab. Kiibo landed face-first into the big cushion; luckily, it was enough to soften the blow to the point he didn’t get damaged.
“Keebs! Speak to me!” Miu grabbed him by the shoulders. “Are you alright?!”
“Scarred. But I’m not hurt.”
“FUCK YEAH!!! IT WORKED, WOOO!!!” Miu cheered.
“Do you need anything, Kiibo..?” Shuichi asked.
“A break..”
“No breaks yet! We still have one more thing to do!”
Miu ran to the back of her lab, and Shuichi and Kiibo sighed.
“As long as we’re finished with that cannon. I don’t care what we’re doing. I just hope we’re almost done..” Shuichi says.
“Same.” Kiibo agrees.
She returned with two space suits in tow; she threw one to Shuichi and began to suit up. While his spacesuit was just a normal blue one, Miu’s was much more extravagant. Her spacesuit didn’t look much like a spacesuit; instead, it looked more like a steampunk dress in the same colors as her usual clothes, complete with her goggles and a fancier cigar.
“Last thing we’re gonna do is the final launch! If we reach the moon, I’ll know I’ve succeeded!”
“And if we don’t…?” Shuichi questioned.
“It’s gonna fucking work. I’ll make sure of it.” She took a breath. “Shuichi, Kiibo… I don’t say this, but… thanks.
Kiibo and Shuichi exchanged glances before smiling at one another. Even though Miu’s tactics to get here were crazy and probably unethical to some, at least they got here, and that’s what was important. They were really doing this; this was insane. Only at Hope’s Peak could someone build an entire rocket and then launch it into space. You couldn’t ever do this at any other place, and yet here they were; this was real.
Miu stared at the rocket for a moment; this had to work. The fame, the credit she’d get for not only being able to successfully build the rocket but get to space with no issues, but being able to be one of the first at her age to reach the moon; there had to be an assurance that she’d be able to do it. She looked towards the cannon and grinned slightly; another crazy idea, she could use the cannon to launch the rocket into the sky, and then that momentum would help them get all the way there. That, or it could backfire and kill them all. She bit her finger… well, nothing ventured nothing gained.
“Alright, Shuichi, Kiibo! Board the rocket! I gotta do something first!”
They both didn’t even question it at this point; there were honestly scared to question anything anymore. They were just glad that this whole endeavor was almost over. Shuichi and Kiibo boarded the rocket while Miu began working on trying to move the rocket into the cannon… with some machinery to help her, of course.
“It’ll be a little cramped in Miu joins in,” Kiibo notes.
“Well, rockets are only supposed to be for two people, not three, right?” Shuichi asks,
“Well, you could build them to accommodate more people, but I see your point.”
They jumped slightly when the ship began to move, looking around frantically.
“Wait, did Miu start the launch!?” Shuichi asked, looking out the window, trying to see if they had left the ground yet.
“No, surely not. Miu wouldn’t wanna miss this chance…..”
Soon enough Miu joined them inside of the rocket, squeezing inside along with them. Shuichi squirmed uncomfortably; being sandwiched between Kiibo and Miu wasn’t the most comfortable, especially since Kiibo was made of metal.
“Miu? What was all that moving about? I thought we were taking off for a moment.” Kiibo says.
“Ahhh, don’t worry about it; just know that thanks to my amazing fuckin’ expertise, we’ll be able to make it to the moon!” She had a determined look on her face. “I’ll make sure of it. Now! Strap in the both of you!”
Miu scooted forward and began pressing buttons and pulling levers, making the rocket spring to life. While she worked on getting everything ready, Shuichi and Kiibo strapped in tight, watching quietly and in awe as Miu did her thing. This was it; their hard work was all about to pay off.
COUNTDOWN SEQUENCE INITIATED, COUNTING DOWN TILL LIFT OFF
10..
9…
8...
When the countdown started, Shuichi’s stomach filled with butterflies; he kept pinching his hand to make sure this wasn’t just some strange dream. He wasn’t jolting awake, so this was all real, it was happening, and in the next couple of seconds, they’d be blasting off and making history. He glanced towards Miu, about to say something, when he noticed a button in her hand that she was eagerly waiting to press. He squinted, and upon closer inspection, he realized that the button was the same one he had pressed to launch Kiibo out of the cannon earlier. Wait… did that mean…? Fuck.
3..
2..
1…
LIFT OFF!!
Before he could even say anything or warn Kiibo, the countdown had ended, and Miu excitedly pressed the button exactly one cue.
“WE’RE HEADED TO THE MOON FUCKERS!!!!”
When the rocket blasted off, it was heard by almost everyone in the school, causing students and teachers to rush out of their rooms to the noise source. The laboratory wasn’t in shambles, but it definitely suffered some damage in the process. The crowd looked up in awe as the rocket blasted up into the sky, disappearing into nothing but a twinkle in the sky.
The initial blast-off, mixed with the firepower from the cannon, made the group jolt forward violently as they were launched into the sky. Kiibo held onto the bottom of his seat, Shuichi screamed for dear life, and Miu laughed manically as she took hold of the controls trying to steer the rocket. The two boys couldn’t even enjoy what was happening outside the windows because the rocket was going so fast they felt like they’d slam their heads onto the ceiling or fly right out the front window if they had let go; it was a good thing they were so cramped in together.
Since Kiibo and Shuichi were freaking out, it was all up to Miu; adrenaline pulsed through her veins. While she was excited, she now had the task of guiding the ship through space and ensuring they survived. She thought it would be like the simulators, but it was nothing like that; the added firepower from the cannon made the ship go a lot faster than it should’ve, and Miu was struggling to slow it down. On top of that, there were oncoming asteroids up ahead.
She gritted her teeth as she used all he strength to steer the rocket through the asteroids, but of course, she wasn’t perfect. With every asteroid she hit, she cursed as she practically slammed against the side of the ship. She held her head, groaning.. too much more of this, and she’d knock herself unconscious before they even made it to their destination. She wouldn’t let this happen; it wasn’t going to end with them stranded in space, she set out to build this ship to be able to make it to the moon, so she was damn sure going to make it to the moon and they were going to make it, alive.
As she dodged and weaved the ship through the asteroids, it wasn’t long before she could see her goal in sight, so close yet so far. She had to land this without absolutely trashing the ship because if she did, even if they could make it, they wouldn’t have any way of getting back, which would be a different problem. They were fast approaching, and with Kiibo and Shuichi were still scared for their lives, Miu had to try her best. She spat her cigar out of the window, pulled the levers back, and slammed on the brakes to slow the ship's speed. The ship began to slow more, and once they were at a safe speed and a safe distance, Miu sighed in relief as she began preparing for landing. She looked out the window, a beaming bright smile on her face.
“HEY!! SHUICHI!! KEEBS!!!”
“Y-Yes Miu…?” Kiibo asked, a bit shaken up.
“We made it.”
When they landed, all the group could do was stare out the window, just relishing in their accomplishment. They did it; they were here; they had made it to the moon. The trio accomplished the impossible and would forever remember this moment.
Blinking for a few seconds, Miu scrambled to get her helmet and squeezed her way out of the ship. She opened a compartment and pulled out a flag she had created when she first thought of this whole operation. It was a flag with her colors and her custom-made insignia. She planted the flag into the ground and stared at it in awe.
Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016). There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back
“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]
As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.

You are a respected supervillain that is more of a managerial type. You take good care of your minions and have an open door policy. One day a battered minion comes in your office. The heroes tortured your minion for information. You rarely go out into the field, but when you do heroes tremble.
This is a common misconception because they’re such similar environments, but you should be aware that dads are native to Home Depot, while lesbians are actually native to Lowe’s. At this point, however, both dads and lesbians have made themselves at home in both Home Depot and Lowe’s to the point that trying to separate them back into their original ranges would probably do more harm than good to the delicate ecosystem of large chain hardware stores.
A properly raised and socialized Dad will be perfectly comfortable cohabiting with Lesbians. Its not really “encroaching on another’s territory”. You wouldn’t say that about foxes in a forest that also homes bobcats, would you? No. It’s just two different species that have both evolved to live in similar/the same environment. As long as they recognize each other as equals, Dads and Lesbians are more than capable of cohabitation.
Now, if you were to release a pack of Lumberjacks into a Lowes or Home Depot, that’s where chaos will reign. Being adapted to a far harsher and more demanding environment, the Lumberjacks would simply push Dads and Lesbians both out and also consume far more than a sustainable amount of resources. It would be like releasing bears at a country club.
As a former timber-harvester… I feel this is potentially accurate in theory. But highly improbable in actuality.
Lumberjacks, like most megafauna species generally require more space than the average hardware store, even a big box store could provide. The misconception is that Lumberjacks are a social species because of how they often work and live together.
This is a matter of necessity, not preference, and a survival technique for thriving under the LogBoss.
A “pack” of Lumberjacks, if not under the environmental pressure of a LogBoss will naturally disperse until they each have a wide territory.
Lumberjacks rarely fight for territory.
One on one, a Lumberjack could drive out a Dad or Lesbian, however the latter tend to travel in social packs.
Lumberjacks will passively retreat on the presence of large numbers of people. Kind of like Sasquatch.
Getting a “pack” of Lumberjacks assembled would be hard enough unless they were forced into a Hardware Store by a LogBoss. In that case, they would already be in a heightened and potentially agitated state far above their natural behavior. This artificial scenario can be likened to a circus animal running amok. If it had been in the wild, the incident would not have occurred.
Free-roaming Lumberjacks are the cryptids of the Hardware ecosystem. They are surprisingly quiet and unobtrusive.
Please stop labeling Lumberjacks as dangerous roving social predators. They are intermediate level omnivores and remarkably peaceful unless threatened.
why don't people in zombie apocalypse stories ever just wear suits of armor? you think any zombie is gonna get their shitty rotting jaws through this?
I'm gonna rip and tear my way through the zombie apocalypse completely unharmed because none of the undead hoards will be able to get through my plate mail
everyone else is like "oh we gotta stay inside the most secure places possible and never leave" and I'll be storming through the wastelands in my bloodstained suit of armor, blasting the Doom (2016) OST and plowing my way through waves of the undead. one of them tries to bite me but his shitty rotting teeth don't even leave a dent in my armor before I turn his head into paste. I'll be unstoppable until I die of dehydration or something like an idiot
this goes along with my other pet peeve about zombie apocalypse stories, namely: why does no one ever think to ride a bike?
bikes are quiet- if the zombies react to loud noises, they won’t hear you on a bike the way they might hear you in a car. bikes don’t need gas, meaning you won’t be stranded if you run out. bikes are much, much easier to maintain than a car- there’s no computer that can short out, no fiddly engine bits that could kill you if you mess with them wrong. you can learn how to maintain a bike with a couple weeks’ worth of classes. almost every adult knows how to ride a bike, and without cars on the road, it’d be much safer to do.
New headcannon: everyone in that song is gay except the Piano Man who has no idea he’s playing at a gay bar and the staff and regulars have a betting pool on how long he’ll take to finally figure it out. So far John is ahead.
“The manager gives me a smile ‘cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been coming to see” also implies that the Piano Man is possibly an incredibly attractive but oblivious himbo, and if you listen to the rest of it imagining that, this all fits a little too well.

Also if you are ANEMIC and take IRON SUPPLEMENTS DO NOT TAKE WITH CAFFEINE. No coffee, caffeinated tea, etc. The caffeine will block iron absorption and you won’t actually get any of that iron that you just took!!
