Lou Wilson choosing to do this on a nat 20 investigation was so juicy

[i-cant-stop-fandoming-help]

coughs like a dog who ate something it shouldn't have. spits this out.

get this shell of a man off my screen rn.

lmao spot the moment in the writing where I obviously became drained after a busy day

---

The letter was clutched in his hands, crumpling the paper beneath his thumbs. In just a few days, it felt as though he had aged a thousand years.

He had said her name, time and time again, curling around the blankets and burying his face into them. "Sarina."

It echoed about the room like a curse.

Now, he was granted something that could possibly give him the blessing that was salvation. A letter-- his brother may not be dead. Everyone else was; his parents, his fiance, his future parent-in-laws and sibling-in-laws. But if he could just have this One. Thing.

This one damn thing.

Maybe he could keep going. Maybe he could keep living.

He found it in himself to drag himself up, to keep on moving. To find his brother, so he could at least have someone, something, left.

His glasses were crooked and cracked, the temples taped to the hinge. His hands were dry, in desperate need of lotion, and his lips were chapped. He hadn't shaved his face in days. But that didn't matter, none of it did, at this point.

He just needed to find his brother.

"Haruhiko," He muttered, his voice dry and his palm grazing the walls of the structure he found himself in. "Where are you?"

The first person he found was no family member of his. Glasses rested atop the other's nose, a pair similar to his own. "Terry"-- that was his name. He, too, was on a search. He had a brother of his own, a brother around Haruhiko's age. A brother in the same class as Naoto's little brother.

Perhaps he could find some solace in that later. At the current moment, he could not. He just wanted, needed, to find his brother.

They scoured the building, examining every room, every nook, every cranny. They prayed among themselves for luck; they prayed to find their family. But they remained unlucky. So, when they reached the top floor, they departed-- joining a new group of people, who seemed oh-so familiar.

"Rei Mekaru." That was her name; one that he knew from Haruhiko's rants. He'd cry and whine about how cruel she was, how she always called him dumb. Naoto had simply snickered, back then.

Now, he stood face to face with a woman who bore tired eyes. Her expression seemed a thousand years older than what it should be, and her hands gripped a gun tight. She looked shaken, in a way; but also frustrated beyond belief.

But, even so, if she was alive... then surely, his brother must be, too.

.

.

.

So why did she look at him with such pity? Why did she look at him with such sorrow and guilt?

More people gathered, all with the same sorry tale; there to find family, to find someone they held near and dear. All bore sullen expressions at their defeat.

As the last five shuffled in, joining the group, Rei sat and clasped her hands. She spoke softly, grief cracking her voice every other sentence. But he barely paid attention to the words she spoke after the first two.

"I'm sorry."

It all became jumbled, the murmurs of the people nearby fusing into one anothers. He couldn't hear his own thoughts-- only a ringing that gave him a headache. He couldn't even process what she was sorry about.

The next thing he knew, a hand was placed on his shoulder and she was in front of him. His gaze met hers, his breath uneven and tears streaking down his cheeks, and she pursed her lips.

"He died trying to save someone he loved." She murmured, her gaze flitting away for a mere second before focusing again. "He... loved Iranami, more than anything. He wanted..."

She paused, her lips tightening and her eyebrows furrowing. Then, she continued. "He wanted her to escape. Even at the cost of his own life."

His heart stopped.

Emptiness was a strange feeling. It started at the stomach, hollowing it out and sending bile up his throat. Then, the darkness spread; it grappled every little thing before its tendrils curled around his heart, squeezing the muscle tightly until it felt like it'd burst. It continued to creep upwards, even then, until it washed over his brain-- forcing him to fall to his knees in anguish. Forcing him to cry silent tears that he didn't know he was capable of bearing.

But the silence grew louder, and louder, and louder, until it reached it's breaking point. Her hand moved from his shoulder, and he fell forward onto his knees, hands snaking up to hold himself as he let out an agonized wail. His forehead was pressed against the floor, snot and tears coating his face; he was a pure and utter mess.

Everything, he'd lost everything. He wasn't sure of who he was anymore; he felt like a carcass, cold and heavy. He felt like a shell, abandoned and hollow.

He felt... No, he was alone.

Akira and Naoyuki from @despair-to-future-arcs

Don't ask, this idea popped up in my head randomly and i couldn't resist

[review-anon]

//Happy Valentine's Day to you all, and as a little treat, I've showing something that not only fits the day, but also its gonna be the first of a set of drawings for you all to welt your appetites over on this lull period, and its a fakemon! More specifically its a Paradox fakemon.

//So back in Pokemon Scarlet/Violet when the Indigo Disk was coming out, people were speculating what the origin of the Paradox Pokemon were and the most wildly held theory at the time was the idea that the Paradox Pokemon weren't actually prehistoric or futuristic Pokemon but inside created from the wishes and desires of Professors Sada and Turo due to their wishes to create a time machine. And this...had a lot of evidence behind it.

//Sadly Indigo Disk came out and revealed Terapagos as the ultimate Isekei Pokemon as it yeets pokemon from the Multiverse and that's how you get the Paradox Pokemon. But its still very vague if that's the case or if Dream/Wish Theory is still on.

//Now when I heard of this theory I thought "Hang on, a Pokemon that grants wishes and desires with no strings attached and has no limit? Where have I heard that one before." The first answer is Jirachi but that's lore based stuff, but the second answer is Divine Luck.

//So I went on this thought experiment where what if Utsuro had Terapagos as his partner Pokemon and Terapagos using its powers created Paradox partner Pokemon for the Children of Utsuro. And thus is the start of this mini series where I create fanmade Paradox Pokemon for each of the known Divine Luck users.

//And of course I start off with Akane Taira's partner Pokemon; Foxy Love. This is very clearly a Paradox Zoroark here since I wanted to go for a fox-like Pokemon for Akane, Ninetales was too Gen 1 pandering and I could go for Thievul, but since that's a Gen 8 Pokemon its too close to the current generation to get its own alternative form.

//Typing its Dark/Fairy which is a type only Grimsnarl has so its a very exlcusive typing to have. The way Paradox Pokemon work is that they gain a type if single typed, and if dual typed, it keeps one of its old typings and another one replaces it. And it has a brand new ability. Since this line of Paradox Pokemon is unlike the canon ones, the previous abilities don't make sense so I've given it and all of my fanmade Paradox Pokemon will have the same ability and that is Divine Luck! This is a crazy ability where the secondary effects of moves are guranteed to hit and the critical hit ratio is increased. Think of it like Serene Grace on crack and Super Luck rolled into one ability.

//Is it balanced? Probably not. But guess what? Pokemon has never been balanced so I don't really care. Miraidon, Zacian, Mega Rayquaza and Gen 1 Mewtwo all say hi.

//Stats are 80/112/55/145/55/123. Defences are weaker but it goes into making its glass cannon status even more apperant as it gets crazy Special Attack and Speed. I'm not hot on the VGC so I don't know how if this is good meta wise or not.

//And of course being a Paradox Pokemon its movepool is gonna be strange. Aside from Dark and Fairy moves like Moonblast and Dazzling Gleam, I suspect it to learn moves like Attract and Capitivate and even Alurring Voice. Tidy Up can be learnt and even Refresh. Why? Who knows.

//So as you can tell design wise, its matching a lot of Akane's colours and the red stuff is Divine Luck coursing though this Pokemon. This is gonna be a design feature on all Divine Paradox Pokemon but its more notable on Foxy Love since Akane DOES become the next Nexus of Divine Luck. I imagine this little one to be a cute Zorua at first which helped hide Akane with the line's illusion abilities and when Akane got free its illusions and work ethic helped Akane with her maid work. It wasn't until Akane fell to Despair that Foxy Love evolved into the form you see it as today.

//Yes I know Paradox Pokemon can't evolve but let me enjoy this one for immersion sake. The name was also came up with by Akane since children are not known for their creative names.

//And that's all for Foxy Love! I hope you enjoy this little picture and believe me the Voids and others will be on their way, just don't expect them to come so soon. I might release them as ways to make the wait for new content less agonising. Until then, have a good Valentine's Day!

//Shiny form is under the cut due to DTFA spoilers;

//Pink is obvious due to the association with love and since we know Divine Luck users can glow gold when using their powers for good...it makes a nice shiny colour.

What would Mina be like on your first time with her?

I feel like she'd be a little nervous, maybe hesitant to show herself off freely at first, but after some kisses and reassuring words, she'd realise that you're also shy. It makes everything a little simpler, and helps to ease her nerves. She would probably want to be on top, and would take things pretty slowly to begin with.

Her touches would be careful, and she'd be happy to spend time discovering what spots make you gasp. When it comes to her own pleasure, she'd guide you if needed, but all in all, your first experience would be more centered around the emotional aspect this night would have on your relationship more than the physical pleasure side of things.
