I will never forget the one time when I was sitting in a Burger King, together with my family and my exchange student from China when a Law cosplayer walked in and took the table across from us and I was trying not to stare. Actually, I wasn’t even sure back then if it was a cosplayer, because he looked so casual, but he was wearing the hat and the guy just looked like Law so... Yes, that was my encounter with Law in a Burger King.
Cumplane has me on a litteral choke hold i will NOT stop making AUs ISTG
Where AU where Cumplane Pre-transmigration meets Moshang and Bingqiu post-SVSSS
currently Cumplane has been in a marriage for about 5 years and has been dating for 2 years. they started talking properlyto each other once PIDW had ended and Shen yuan coerced Airplane into making a new book with his exact outline from his orignal plan, offering to pay for it. becuase obviously Shen yuan isnt going to tolerate SQHs living condictions in a very beat down apartment they become roomates. as Shen Yuan is a beta reader and SQH no longer needs to worry about money, they calm down their anomosity. and after back and forth and Shen Yuan finally coming out of his very glass closet they get together.
at first Shen Yuans family doesnt approve becuase they think Shang Qinghua was a golddigger, but after finding out that Shang Qinghua was the author of PIDW, which they have heard their son rant about every single time they meet up, hey turn the tables and accept them as their son in law thinking :
Entire Family: " so thats why shen yuan started dating him! thats so sweer. "
it was kind of embarressing becuase Shen Yuans family had described in detail how passionate their son got whenever talking about that book.
Shen Yuan: " ive always hated it!! "
Mother Shen: " no honey, you didnt you were just in denial, like your sexuality. "
Shen Yuan: " Mom!! "
his family is not discrimitory, they are just happy their hermit crab is doing something with his life
they end up adopting [ bc i NEED a child to be in this ] an orphan one year into their marriage and calling him Shen binghe. no they will never tell their son the origin of his name. who was a baby that was dumped onto the orphanges doorstep. which was conveintly around the time they decided to adopt.
since they were kinda young when they took up the mantle of being parents they took every precuation to keep him safe, to the point that Shang Qinghua took a haitus to take care of his son.
they raised him to be a healthy four year old boy.
thats when Xin mo coughed up Moshang And Bingqiu, closely after the Bingqiu marriage, into their little cottage that used to be the Shen Families beach house. this was during they time they were having ' family time ' by playing simple board games in their living room when they heard crashes in their kitchen. Shen binghe is scared but Shang QInghua fishes out a shotgun that was placed behind their couch for showcase. it didnt work but it can cetaintly frighten someone.
a Frightened Shen binghe hugs his mother father waiting for some news.
Shen Qinghua [ He took up the shen name bc rich people thoughts ig]: " Ummmmm..... Baoibei you might want to see this. "
confused, Shen Yuan, holding Shen binghe protectively in his arms, walks to the kitchen, and to his complete and utter surprise, finds PIDW charaters in his home.
Shen yuan: " What the fuck?! A-Bing dont repeat that. "
his son nods when the cosplayer that looks like Luo binghe says,
Luo Binghe: " who are you to say anything of what i do? "
Shen Qingqiu: " calm down binghe, he wasnt talking to you. "
luo binghe: " ok shizun! "
that one that looks like the scum villianwas looking interestedly towards Shen Yuan, which was making him uncomfitable and he held his child closer.
Shen Yuan: " A-Hua, why are they here, who are these people? "
Shen Qinghua: " Well i think they are.. "
Shang Qinghua: " Im airplane shooting towards the sky! i already told him some emberrising shit so he knows that we are on and the same. "
shen yuan moves closer to his Shen Qinghua and Shang Qinghua frowned.
Shang QInghua: " i didnt think i would marry and have a kid! well in this timeline becuase of PIDW. "
his grouped glanced at him.
Mobei-jun: " What exactly do you mean this timeline? "
Shang Qinghua: " oh i died here than transmigrated - or moving ones soul to anothers body - after not even finishing my book which is our world! "
Shen Qingqiu: " way to lay that one out airplane. "
he scoffed, which was terrifienly familar to someone the mortals know.
Shen yuan, suddenly proccessing the words: " D-died?! "
The shang qinghua nodded, as if this was the most natural thing in the world.
Shang Qinghua: " Anyways, whos that twink i married? im surprised that we pulled a pretty boy like that! im used to my king, "
Shen Qinghua: " I know we are the same person, but dont talk to my husband like that! "
Shang Qinghua, puttinig his hands up mocking surrender: " i didnt think i had balls but ok. "
Shen yuan stopped listening as excitment wiggled in after the fright settled down.
Shen Yuan: " You see this A-bing? this is a Au clash! i never thought that i would be in this type of plot!! "
Shen binghe, giggling: " like one of babas books! "
Shen yuan: " thats right my little demon. "
luo binghe blinked at the nickname.
Shen Yuan: " Anyways my name is- "
Shen QIngqiu, breathlessly: " Shen yuan. "
Shen yuan, looks questionly at the man: " How do you know my name?! "
Shen Qingqiu: " Becuase im you. "
que an EXTENSIVE talk about how transmigration worked for the husbands, and how they died, and how PIDW ended. now onto the their personal lives with SHen Binghe playing with the two demon lords in a friendly game of go fish [ AKA ruthlessly beating them with no hope of survival. Luo binghe Scowls at this child self of him, no mercy!! ] and the cumplane pairs sitting in the couch.
Shang QInghua: " i cannot believe i married the Peerless cucumber, He was the one who basically cuased my death!! "
Shen QIngqiu, whacking the hamster in the back of his head: " and is marrying this master that unsightly? I should be surprised that i married you, you hack author!! "
.. well that explained their relationship.
Shen Yuan: " Not even that surprised, i dont even know how ive been with this hack for 11 years. "
Platonic cumplane: " ELEVEN YEARS?! "
Shen QInghua, pitifully and tying to kiss Shen yuan: " Awwww why does my pretty husbando think that, "
Shen Yuan, shoving Shen Qinghua away by the face: " Becuase i said so. now get off me you big oof. "
After some whining and big puppy eyes [ that Shen Qingqiu frightenly similar to luo binghes ], Shen Qinghua is is laying contently on Shen yuans laps while he brushes his fingers through his hair.
Shan Qinghua: " you know if i werent with my king and seen you how i should have, i would have tapped that ass long ago. "
Shen yuan, yeeting a pillow at top speed while blushing: " My CHILD is right here!! stop being so shameless for once airplane!! "
Shen Qingqiu, having been subjected to Airplanes shamelessness for years ignores him: " speaking of child, if you have PIDW in your world, how do you have a luo binghe here? usually at these types of senerarios in fanfics, they both cant coencide with each other. "
Shen Qinghua: " Oh thats becuase baobei refused to call him anything but Luo binghe. "
he received a slap. Shen yuan was fuming.
Shen Yuan: " yah whatever, i had to admit he looked quite similar to Luo binghe was described - minus the two toned hair - in the book, i could not not name him binghe. "
the two Shens nodded in understanding while the the huas just looked confused at the logical, ut whatever each to their own.
shen Qingqiu: " oh thsts pretty nice. wait please dont tell me you have mpreg in this world, i do and no- "
shen Yuan: " No! no, anyways does he look like us? we adopted him when he was around two weeks old. "
Shang Qinghua: " Now i got to admit thats sweet, i love the little family yall got, its kind of sad that this is what our future wouldve been if we didnt die. well i dont regret transmigrating into pidw, sometimes, though becuase i ended up with Mobei, who i modeled after my tastes-. "
Shen Qinghua: " -which pretty much described A-yuan- "
Shang Qinghua: " -so im pretty happy with my life. "
Shen yuan: " talking about you, howd you end up with the protaginist? "
Shen qingqiu, waving his fan lazily with a huff: " Dont get me started- "
proceeds to describe the entire lore of SVSSS. both Qighuas fell asleep at one point while Shen yuan was enratured by the whole story.
Shen Yuan: " WOw! Luo binghe was that bad at papapa? thats totally OOC! but you are still doing it every three days? "
Shen QIngqiu, Shrugging: " pretty much, hes just too cute to not say no to. what about you? idk if papapa with the author whos so clearly a virigin would be that great either, "
Shen Yuan: " oh hes not a virgin. apperently he slept around alot while in university so my poor Chrysanthemum ddint suffer like yours. thouguh he havent done it in awhile since Shen Binghe takes up more of our time "
Shen Qinghua: " awww if they get to stay, maybe they get to take care of our binghe and we get to go for a bi- "
Shen Yuan: " if you are asleep, keep pretending to sleep! dont just wake up halfway! "
SHang QInghua flinched a the fimiliar words as he had jjust woken up.
meanwhile at the kiddy table
Luo Binghe: " so um, do you have aaa?
Shen Binghe: " Three of hearts? no. go fish. "
Luo binghe mumbled under his breath as he grumpily snatches another card. he has already lost 5 times, and Mobei-jun is a lost cuase.
since Mobei-jun wasnt talking SHen binghe iniciated a convo.
Shen binghe: " your so cool looking! your robes are like the ones that my babas cosplay in!! one time when they arrived they had to give me to my grandma in order for them to go to a convention! apperently my babas book, proud immortal demon way go super popular when it finished! "
Luo binghe, raising an eyebrow: " how does this shen binghe tell the differences between your two parents? "
Shen Binghe: " I sometimes call my first baba, ' mama ' "
Luo binghe: " Fair. i call my shizun wife. "
Shen binghe, pouting: " how can other me marry mama! "
Luo binghe, defensively: " well thats becuase Shizun is not my mo- "
Shen Binghe: " -and why is my baba married to the big scary icicle!! "
Mobei-ju just raised an eyebrow which was scary for a child and Shen binghe started crying. frightening both of the adults.
shen yuan suddenly appeared holding his son and rocking him.
Shen yuan, cooing: " Are you ok my little bingbing? did the big scary men bully you? "
Luo binghe: " he started thi- "
he was silenced by a glare.
Shen Binghe: " I dont like this AU! my babas arent together!! and their weird! "
luo binghe does not want to make this child version of himself cry, becuase if he cries and shizun finds out hes sleeping on the bed tonight.
Luo binghe: " wait wait, this lo- im sorry, here look at this. "
he opened his clawed palm and produced a little demonic energy, from that he minipulated it into turning into a a black mistic bunny. the bunny jumped and when luo binghe moved his hands closer to shen binghe, it started to sniff his noise intensly. Shen binghe started to giggle and wearly pet the bunny. to his surprise it was soft.
the other three moved to the table watching this whole scene.
Shen Qingqiu: " oh thats sweet, who kew Binghe was so great with kids? "
Both Qinghuas looked at him. Luo binghe was static.
Luo Binghe: " Would Shizun like a child? this husband would love to- "
he has hit by a fan. Shen binghe started to luagh aswell as shen yuan.
Shen yuan: " See A-bing? if a man like that annoys you, hit him on the head! "
Mobei-jun: " what a pleasant lesson for a child "
everyone jumped when he spoke, basically forggetting he was here.
Shen Qinghua: " anywayss, how did you get here? "
Shen QIngqiu: " Xin Mo messing up "
Shen Yuan: " any way to get back? "
Shang Qinghua: " our ride should be here any second "
a portal opens and Sha hualing pokes her head out.
Sha hualing: " Get over here losers, you owe me! "
after much goodbyes the group left. leaving the cumplane family to lay down on the couch. SHen binghe fell asleep quickly, eghuasted by the whole debacle.
Shen Binghe, groaning: " I dont think i want to meet another AU again. "
Shen yuan, huffing out: " Agreed, "
and then the little family slept happily on the couch
WAIT I WANTED TO ASK BUT I FORGOR.HOWD COMIC-CON GO???? DID U HAVE FUN!
AHH IT WAS SO MUCH FUN!!!!
i had about 3 people individually ask me for pictures, and then the UTDR fan meetup was so much fun and i got to be a part of group pics x] ! i made friends with a battat and an undyne !! really i feel so. grown? i feel like im engaging in fandom recently the way i used to dream to when i was young and it's been really nice. i gave out little mettatinos and kept some for future purposes (was meant to see mutual but we just missed each other </3) . and fun fact!! the birmingham venue was the same one where i went to my first ever con, a star trek one in like. 2019. and i had no idea until i got there so i had So many emotions.
ALSO everything in the picture on the right (the tenna, the big shot sticker, etc) was all given to me by various cosplayers at the utdr fan meetup x] !! the mike sticker was actually by the battat's friend who was dressed up as micheal afton so we kept joking abt that collab . god it was so fun
mettaton-wise oh my god. ohh my god. there were 2 mettaton cosplayers while i was there and one of them was my friend, and the other one was the FIRST COSPLAYER I SAW WHEN WE GOT THERE. I WASN'T READY!! do you know how hard it is to be COOL when favourite character of all time is being cosplayed in front of u . i was normal dont worry . then other mtt news umm . EE i got this really reallyyy pretty print (i wish i got more :'[ i didnt have enough money...) for like £6 . but like. imagine with me. nervous papyrus cosplayer walking up to artist asking to buy the SCANDALOUS METTATON PRINT with a papyrus plushie in the picture like. i hope they got a good giggle out of it i saw them smirking as i asked to buy it x]
i really want to be an artist at the artist alleys one day ... i keep trying to make my art good enough to be a print but ofc i draw Daily so i have a time limit of abt ~3hrs per drawing unless i give myself more . i might work on some stuff if ppl are interested its hard to feel like my art is enough? IDK . speaking of the artist alley ohh im so sad i missed paranoart </3 we see each other everytime i go to a con because last year i dressed as karl law of talos and we were like HOLY SHITT LAW OF TALOS ! old fandom and all. i do plan on going to megacon though and theyre gonna be there which is excitinggg hopefully ill have a job by then too or at least enough income to spend more money
i really wish i couldve spent more time there and im sooo jelly of everyone who got to go for the entire weekend but hey. i plan to live long enough to do this a million times
the main takeaway i got from this experience (going to a con while actively being a part of a big, old, and growing fandom) has been that cosplay and buying prints is Very grounding . the online fandom was so intertwined in the conversations i had with others, Especially the battat who i talked to about the polymikes and inside jokes in the mike trio fandom. its like. we're not even in the same online space (they dont have tumblr) and yett... and yet :'] like i said i wish i couldve seen my mutual that would've been a huge highlight but there's always next time. buying prints... god. the one print i got i stared at so much and it just made me realise how Badly i want to buy all of my friends' art and be able to appreciate it while holding it in my hands.
just being in the utdr fandom has put so much more weight on everything i make and made it feel so much more real, but getting to be around people irl was so exciting and nerve-wracking but everyone was So nice :']
then i slept over at my friend's house and spent the following day together too. im so in love with my friend. im in love with the world. i love . :'']]]] I LOVE"!!!
Self-Aware! Nikolai Gogol x GN! Reader x Self-Aware! Doppo Kunikida
Description: Set after BSD gang got into your world.
Your new friends/roommates love exploring your world. You keep them company. One day, you and Kunikida decide to go to the mall. Gogol wants to accompany you two. The problem is... He doesn't want to disguise himself. He wants to go in his normal attire.
...
Maybe, everything will be alright, right?
Fluff (for the most part). Everyone thinks that Gogol is a cosplayer. He is ready to throw hands. But he is holding for your sake. People can't mind their own business, they have to discuss, how terrible anime fans are. Karen. Kunikida, as a former teacher, has something to say about looking after the kids.
Prequel to Surprise
Warning: OOC. Rude people. Annoying people. Karen. Rowdy unsupervised kids. One person try to touch Gogol's thighs. But not on your watch. Unintentional lockdown joke. English is my second language.
BSD cast love exploring your world. They love going for a walks. They love visiting cafés. They love going to the festivals. They love to be in places, where they can see other people.
You understand, why they doing it. If one day you woke up and find out, that streets are empty, and then lived in this environment for a few month (even, if you life with few other people), when streets became bisy again, you also would spend all your free time outside. With other people.
You accompany your new friends as much as you can. So many new good memories.
The mall became one of the most visited places. All this shops, cafés, people... For BSD cast, this place seems perfect.
Each time you and someone from BSD cast visit the mall, it became an interesting experience.
You visit the mall not only to have fun, but also to buy necessary things.
Today was 'necessary shopping trip day'.
________________________
Doppo was sitting on the sofa and rechecking the shopping list for a third time. He wanted to make sure, that everything is going to be according to plan. You lazily stretched out and sit near Doppo.
"Hey, Kunikida," greeted you. Man smiles at you and nodded.
"Good morning, [Y/N], Hope, you are ready. We will go to the mall in thirty minutes. The shopping list is complete and has been re-checked a few times."
You hum, showing, that you have heard him. You take a quick glance at the list.
"I see, Thank you, K..." You saw Kunikida's expression. He was waiting for something. You take a breath and spoke again. "Thank you, Doppo"
It was a little bit hard, calling BSD gang by their first names. It feels strange, to call Dazai 'Osamu', Goncharov 'Ivan', Poe 'Edgar' and so on. But, cast want you to call them by their first names. Slowly but surely you were getting used to it.
Doppo nodded, he seems pleased.
"Don't mention it. Be ready in half an hour. We three are going to..."
"Wait!" Interrupted you. "Three? Who is going with us?"
Kunikida's gaze became irritated.
"Nikolai Gogol."
Kolya, of course. He was one of the weirdest of your friends.
And by weird, you mean, your friendship with him start weird.
_______________________
It's been a week, since BSD gang got into your world. That day all of you held the meeting. You wanted to discuss, what they are going to do now, when they got into your world.
Meeting was normal, for the most part. But, Gogol decided to start talking about his freedom and that he will do anything to reach it.
"What I mean, Little Bird, if I want to break the law, I will break the law," Gogol leaned towards you. He looked smug. Like he was challenging you to say something.
You didn't look amused. You noticed Fyodor's expression during Gogol's speech. Dostoevsky looked annoyed by Gogol... Actually, everyone looked annoyed at Gogol. Well, you won't let him win.
Your idea was... weird. But, to be fair, the whole situation with characters from your favorite anime/manga been self-aware and in your home already was bizarre.
"So, you really value freedom, right?"
Asked you, looking Gogol right in the eyes. He grinned and nodded.
"Well, in that case," you booped his nose. "I also value my freedom. And right now, for me, freedom means booping your nose."
Gogol blinked. He opens his mouth. You booped him again. Gogol tried to say something again. You booped him again. This time, you left your finger pressed against Gogol's nose. He squinted his eyes. "[Y/N], what are you doing?"
You tried your best to mimic Gogol's voice.
"What I mean, Big Bird, if I want to boop you, I will boop you"
The room was silent. Everyone was looking at you and Gogol. Suddenly, you saw a golden glow near your stomach. Before you can react, Gogol used "The Overcoat" and trapped you in his embrace. Gogol was laughing. Gogol jumped towards Fyodor, still holding you in his arms.
"Fedya, Fedya, their reaction was priceless!"
Fyodor took a breath.
"I still don't understand, why did you decide to test them. You never planned to cause trouble here."
Gogol only grins. He looked at you. He looked much friendlier, than before.
"You are my new friend now, we will eat something tasty later"
For the rest of the meeting, you were in Gogol's embrace. It took combine efforts of Fyodor, Sigma and Fukichi to pry him off you.
____________________
You smile at the memory.
"Well, with his help we could buy more things. Don't you agree?"
Kunikida grumbles something, but nodded at agreement.
"I guess so. Anyway, we should start preparations."
______________________
In thirty minutes, both of you were ready to go to the mall and were standing near the front door, waiting for Nikolai.
You changed into suitable clothes for today's hot weather.
Instead of his normal clothes, Kunikida was wearing a green t-shirt, dark-brown shorts and flip-flops. He decides to keep his hair as it normally was.
Kunikida started to become impatient. Gogol was late.
"This clown... He himself wanted to go, and now he is late" grumble Kunikida. You put your hand on his shoulder and squeeze it.
"Easy, Doppo, it's not that bad. Maybe, he is trying to disguise himself better. His looks are quite recognizable.
It was one of the first things you taught to BSD gang. They were recognizable. That's why they should wear different clothes, when they are going somewhere. If they don't want to deal with people staring at them.
Kunikida grimaced. He doesn't like unplanned events. And Gogol was an embodiment of chaos. Kunikida turn towards you.
"I know, but still, he should be ready"
You pet Kunikida's shoulder.
You heard the sound of steps coming towards two of you. Gogol, with a few empty shopping bags in his hands, walked towards you two.
You were glad, that Kunikida didn't see Gogol right now.
Nikolai Gogol was standing there, in his normal attire and hairstyle.
You are a patient person. But, right now, you wanted to attack Kolya.
To lose some steam, you decide to indirectly quote O. Henry.
"Doppo, there isn't any heart disease in your family, is there?"(1)
Doppo looked at you, puzzled.
"I don't think so... Why?"
You looked at him. Your gaze was a mix of pity and anger.
"Then you might turn around, and have a look behind you."(1)
Kunikida looked around and saw Gogol.
Kunikida closes and opens his mouth. He looked like he was ready to combust.
To help him, you asked Gogol.
"Gogol, why aren't you ready? It's time to go."
Gogol smirked.
"Birdy, I am already ready. You know why? Right, I want the rest of the free world to accept free me! My clothes also part of my freedom."
Kunikida hissed.
"Do you forget, what Our Guiding Light told us? We are recognizable in our normal clothes! Everyone will stare at you!"
You nodded
"Doppo is right, we would attract unwanted attention."
Gogol waves his hand.
"Oh, don't worry, it can't be that bad. Everything will be fine."
You signed and try again.
"Gogol, please, you need to listen to me. Please, wear a disguise."
Gogol grimaced.
"[Y/N], please, stop it. I tell you I want to go in my normal clothes."
You facepalmed. Before Kunikida can start shouting at Gogol, you raised your hand.
"Fine. You can go in that. But don't blame me, for what's going to happen."
Kunikida wanted to protect, but, after noticing your gaze, changed his mind. Gogol looked triumphant.
You open the door.
"Be ready to be called cosplayer, Gogol."
You heard Gogol's quiet "What is 'cosplay'?", but you ignored him.
Hopefully, people at the streets won't be that annoying.
__________________
You jinxed it.
You haven't reached the mall yet, but twenty people has already annoyed Gogol into taking pictures with him.
The five-minute walk from home to the mall became a fifteen-minute walk.
You had a feeling, that everyone wants to have a photo with"cool cosplayer".
At first, Gogol was fine with having his photos taken.
But then you run into a group of rowdy fans.
They crowded around Gogol, pushing you and Doppo from their way.
"You looked like a real one!"
"Cool costume, dude!"
"The scar looks so real!"
"How much have you paid for the costume?"
"Do you want to read my smut fanfic about Fyolai?"
"Can I grab your things?"
Doppo's eyebrow twitched.
"[Y/N]... Is this normal behavior of 'BSD fans'?" Spited Doppo. You shake your head.
"No, of course not. This people are just jerks."
Gogol looked annoyed. He agreed to take some pictures, so the group will leave him alone.
Unfortunately, the group wasn't satisfied with simple pictures.
They started to demand him to make poses. Dubious poses... They clearly made Gogol uncomfortable. You noticed, that Gogol was holding himself back from attacking the annoying people. You decide, that it's time to intervene.
"Okay, everyone, move away from our friend, stop making him uncomfortable! No poses, no pictures."
You and Doppo squeezed through the crowd and stood near Gogol, like two bodyguards. The crowd try to protect, but one heavy look from Kunikida make them shut up.
You and Kunikida tried to take Gogol from the crowd. With the conner of your eye, you noticed, that the same person, who asked if they can grab Gogol's thighs, were trying to touch Gogol's thighs. Immideatly, you turn towards the jerk and hit him in the face with all of your might.
"Hands off, parasite!" Growl you.
The Creep fell down, sobbing. His friends tried to attack you in return. But, before any of them they can take a step towards you, Doppo dealed with them.
Never underestimate Fukuzawa's trainee.
All group members were lying on the ground, groaning in pain.
You three left the Creep and their friends behind.
___________________
When you finally reached the mall, you signed.
"Okay... It was something. Is everyone alright?"
Kunikida adjusted his glasses.
"I am fine"
Nikolai stay quiet. The look in his eyes was dangerous. You feel chills running down your spine. He was angry. Then he spoke.
"I am not. I want to hurt them. But," Gogol looked at you. His gaze soften. "But, for your sake, I won't do it. I don't want you to get into trouble."
You squeeze his shoulder.
"We can find a quiet place for you to stay, while Doppo and I are going shopping."
Gogol shake his head.
"No, don't worry, I will be fine."
Kunikida huffs and take the shopping list from his pocket.
"We have lost quite some time. We need to split up, so we can buy everything faster. I will go find cleaning supplies. [Y/N], can you and Gogol buy meat, fish and fruits?"
You nodded.
______________________
Good news, you haven't run into anime fans anymore.
Bad news, you run into people who hate anime.
You and Gogol were choosing fresh fish, when you heard their conversation.
"Look at this weirdo. Does the Freak thinks he can wear this clown costume in public like this?"
"Yea. He must be a screw loose."
"All the anime fans are perverts. I have heard, all of them likes little girls. Really likes"
"Bro, you will make me puke!"
Gogol's eye twitched. You quickly grabbed his hand. You whisper.
"Nikolai, please, stay calm."
Gogol squeezed your hand.
You have noticed a golden glow in one of the fish tanks. In this tank there were alive crabs. Five of them.
You blinked. All crabs disappeared.
The sound of something falling. Shocked cries of "Where did crabs come from?" The pained whines of the company that was talking about Gogol.
Crabs didn't like their new company.
____________________
After you finally buy everything you need, all of you decide to have some coffee, before you go home. The day was hard, all of you need some rest.
All of you were sitting at the same table, drinking coffee.
But, it seems, that today trouble didn't want to let you go.
At first, you heard a loud scream.
Then something ran near your table.
Two six-year-old kids. Boy and girl.
They were running around the café, screaming and grabbing everything they can see.
Their mother wasn't paying attention to them. She was talking to someone on her phone.
You three tried to ignore all this noise. Kunikida finished his coffee and put the empty cup back on the saucer with a loud clatter.
"This kids... Why parents didn't do their job? At first, parents forget about parenting, then this 'parents' have the audacity to blame teachers for their kid's terrible behavior."
You looked at Doppo with a soft look.
"Have you remembered your teaching days?"
Doppo nodded.
Gogol let out a loud yelp. Then the kids noticed Nikolai's braid and start pulling it. He turned around and growl at kids.
"Back off, you brats!"
And mother finally decided to do the parenting. By starting yelling at Gogol.
"You creep, don't you dare yell at my children!"
To be fair, Gogol tried to stay civil.
"Mam, your kids were pulling my hair! I shouted at them to make them stop."
Women glares at Gogol.
"You could let them do it! They are just kids! They are allowed to do anything they want! Wait... You... What are you wearing... Is that... one of this anime characters?"
Without letting Gogol answer, she hit him with her shopping bad.
"SATANIST! You are a satanist who is watching Chinese porn cartoons. Useless member of society!"
You had enough for today.
"Miss, watch your..." You didn't finish your phrase, when mom hit you with a shopping bag.
"Shut up! Don't interfere!"
Kunikida snapped.
"If you watched your kids..."
And Kunikida was also hit with a shopping bag.
And security finally escorted the woman and her kids from the café.
You feel, that the day was ruined.
_______________
You finally were home. After putting your bags in the kitchen, three of you sit on the couch in the living room. You're in the middle, Doppo on the right and Kolya on the left.
All three of you were silent. Gogol was the first who spoke.
"It's all my fault. You warned me. I didn't listen. I am sorry."
You stay silent. Then you whisper.
"I am also sorry. I should have tried harder to make you change your mind."
Gogol chuckled.
"[Y/N], don't blame yourself. I am also an adult, I should understand the consequences of my actions."
You take a look around the room. There must be something that can make them feel better.
You had a plan.... Maybe, it will work.
You called.
"Hey, Kolya, Doppo"
Gogol's eyes light up. It was the first time you called him by the short version of his name. He looked at you.
Doppo turn his head towards you.
"Want to have a movie night? Choose anything you want to watch, I will make snacks. How does is sounds?"
Both guys agree.
____________________
Three of you were covered in blankets. Doppo was carefully petting your head, while Nikolai was tracing lines along your hand. The movie was on. The snacks were on the table. You were snuggled between Doppo Kunikida and Nikolai Gogol.
At least this time, everything was right. Everything was better.

A/N: (1) Changed quote from "The Ransom of Red Chief" by O. Henry.
A black screen awaited any viewer who dared to tune in. Judgement here was long gone, it being passed onto the unrighteous. A sizzling, static noise struck the shadow-filled display, absent of any empathetic touch.
...!
"OW!"
A shriek of pain interrupted the solitude.
To follow the yelp, a long, quiet rustle was audible on the other end. Though whatever waited on the other end wasn't visible, the panicked, hurried sounds spoke for them all the same. Rustling and rummaging hissed through the blackened screen. The mental picture could easily be put into your mind.
...After a minute or two of agonizing and awkward waiting, the camera finally took focus, colors flooding the screen. What stood in plain view was a short gentleman with tanned, bronzed skin and short, black curly hair. They smiled sheepishly, smoothing back their hair and brushing off their suit.
"...It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." They nodded politely, putting a gloved hand on their heart. "We don't know each other yet, but... I hope we will come to. I'm Mila Law Young, a detective at the Royal Court Agency."
"For a back of a better word, I have gotten wind that thing's have been... risque, around these parts, wouldn't you say? An assortment of crime running in these dark, shaded backstreets, hiding under our noses... And I simply cannot live with the idea that innocent civilians are getting mixed in the middle of it."
"So... that's why I'm here!" Mila beamed, grinning from ear to ear. "To protect and serve! To get to the bottom of these terrible sins that are haunting our youth! Whatever you need, please don't hesitate to contact me. Please remember that I'm a resource, an ear to listen, and, hopefully, a friend."
The sleuth bowed, looking up with a wink. "...I'm at your service."

thank you so much for the tag in that post!!! i immediately forgot every fact about myself unfortunately BUT i have two follow up qs for y'all.........
MERLIN! i am also obsessed with merlin and btw if you have a merlin account you are OBLIGATED BY LAW to tell me. constitutional amendment from the obama era. i think the merlin <--> supernatural pathway is all about duty by the way. and also gay sex.
also charlotte consider this ask your one drink please 🍷 and DO TELL!
haha, that's so fair! we love follow-up qs!
lizzy:
uh-oh! by law you say?? i'm sweatin'...i also love merlin! so much! i cannot shut up about it, and i have written/continue to write for merlin under a different account...but i fear i might have to break the law on this one. and it's strictly for the reason that i have Very Normal friends not familiar with fandom that follow my writing/keep up with my other ao3 and if they find out i shake the boys from spn between my teeth like a dog, i would have some massive explaining to do. obama's gonna come break my door down 😔 i am kissing you passionately in apology! but i think folks like my merlin work pretty okay! my biggest merlin fic is around 100k hits, which blows my mind with violence each day lol
you get it!!! you get it so hard!!!!!! what drives me crazy about merlin and spn is the inevitability of it all. they are soulmates, and they are fated to be joined, but at what cost? literally what cost? they are opposed forces, hunter and hunted, but a bond of love and forgiveness and belonging that keep them tethered beyond separation. it's the continuous loss and torture and fear and not leaving! they don't want to leave! their lives would be easier if they didn't love each other, but they can't stop. and they HAVE SEX! one of the things that sticks in my brain so hard about merlin specifically is the lengths that merlin goes to protect/save uther for arthur's sake. like that level of devotion, even at the betrayal of self, is BARK INDUCING!!! i could write forever and ever amen about merlin, so if i don't stop now, this entire post will just be me yapping and yapping.
charlotte:
oh my god WELL a few moments stand out from that day. first, lizzy and I were THE ONLY ONES TO DRESS UP after lizzy explained that people dressed up at cons (this was my first con ever—baby’s first!). Also me when I lie lol there were a couple sexy castiels but I digress. (lizzy note: there was also a billie and death cosplayer that blew my fucking mind my beloved <3)
second, literally everyone at our con had already met the boys. like. a girl pulled out a BINDER with like 4 m&g photos per page and just kept flipping through it. so while we were nervous wrecks all day, everyone was mysteriously so…chill?? like we picked up food on the way there and barely ate any of it since we were making ourselves ill.
waiting in line?? girl embarrassing you wouldn’t have wanted to see us because we were HYPERVENTILATING. as soon as we cleared the doorway and saw jared, he made eye contact with us and kept glancing over the line to check when we were coming up (because of our slay niche fits) and as soon as we did, he said the episode BY NAME and told us we did a great job. (lizzy note: he was very excited and also his hand is as big is my waist i blacked out the whole thing if i didn’t have a pic i wouldn’t think it happened)
that man’s chest and arms. gigantic. bigger than my head. he was as solid as a piece of marble. we were like what the fuck. took our picture and NO JOKE we had to sit down on the floor in the hallway. we called lizzy’s mom. we bragged to the barista in the convention center, who was also very excited. we vomited and threw up because misha was next but in character and costume and let me just say
that man’s hands were FRIGID.
I’ll say it!! (looking at you lizzy who doesn’t remember it smh.) his m&g was slay ish because he was just smoldering and barely said anything (LMAO our man was tired and they were running 2 hrs behind). but! hilarious. I have both of the pictures hanging in identical frames next to each other in my first grown up apartment and it looks like the same photo at a first glance. it is the second most expensive thing on my wall (my diploma taking first 🤧).
and that…that was a glorious day. we’re trying to go again since jensen was sold out so we can complete the trifecta 🫶
hidey hodey neighborinoes i know i may or may not have disappeared for like half a fucking year but brain does what brain do. since i am now willing to admit that i likely will not find the motivation to write a full length fic like i would want, i wanted to post the “outline” (re: complete gibberish only past me could understand). at some point i’ll try to compile all the tidbits i had sprinkled across drafts and docs and try to clean it up a little but, well, im not even sure what i meant in some spots. hopefully ill pull the writers block out of my ass one day but until then, take this word vomit:
retelling of ep three from hetch’s pov. mask broke sfm doesn’t know. reset after stab still aware of what he’s doing but can’t control himself. hopeful ending with planning to save the trio and get them out?
the closet sfm is onto hetch so he has to do damage control ran receiving no instructions. things settle scenes been dragging he panics and basically controls r to kill ethan
maybe broadcasted to a different universe. problem w family and friends recognize
maybe broadcasted to rich assholes like in the purge/gladiator type deal?
the face of the hacker wasn’t actually supposed to do things but did anyways
follow up w/ rgb saving him g and b reluctant. r insist they won’t let anyone else die because of them. idk burn the mall maybe torch it like a fuckin wasp nest
employees stop at the door mannequins little nightmares two.
all four struggling down the road maybe r passing out carried by g or b
hot wire a car
traumatize gas station clerk
fire department from fire alarm
hetch flag down car 2 options:
car sped off but called police for them
offered ride to hospital
hetch the sidewalk isn’t wide enough fourth wheel type deal mostly unscathed compared to rgb but smol bean has anxiety and left over programming. weak little noodle arms can’t help shit. b sending hella death glares
b wouldn’t want to help hetch
r electrocuted from attempted mask removal
through the power of friendship and laws of physics or electrical plasma whatever it isn’t fatal hoorah
hetch stunned doesn’t help gb fuckin pissed at him
paramedics confused about what happened to these very dedicated cosplayers that are found half dead barely hours after the live finale
r wakes and is terrified thinking they’re at the box and start screaming for gb. hetch freezes g n b have to be held back by police
hospital r coma from noggin surgery (medically induced for healing cause wtf) g and b want to kick hetch’s ass only stop cause of r
prob not ccs maybe r foster kid hinted maybe
b needs to get to punch someone. american healthcare so probably a doctor or a nurse
hetch medically released first<irrelevant travel distance. hetch watching charlie and sneeg have friends and family going in and out but r has no on so hetch goes
others not allowed in camp out in waiting room. ran wakes up and freaks. competent doc allows them in and r calms down. good doc fights for them to be able to stay in the room psych health. special accommodations are made no tv in room gets a double room for more beds/couches <<needs special room post brain surgery op icu maybe nurse/doc maneuverability <<< maybe one allowed in at a time
^the nice doctor thrown in for pity maybe philza if crossover? detective techno? or both detectives that almost beat the shit outta the responding cops for fucking up the most important case they’d ever get
sfm sends an employee pretending to be ranboos mom. the others are scared but also she is acting like a mom that lost her kid so maybe it’s okay??<< others not allowed in the room since family only? nope ran wakes up freaks cause that bitch ain’t momboo (dead question mark? orphan? don’t tell techno)
employee tries to strangle r no loose ends: doc pulls her off; trio breaks in hetch proves himself?; r is a bamf and defends themself (hitting? reverse uno they strangle her? rips out iv and stabs her?< needle to weak would have to be in eye)
r scared to sleep from cabin electrocution and execution hold hand 👉👈?
carousel saved NO FIRE IF CAROUSEL perhaps a group meet for victims ranboo and hetch reluctant to enter cause they think they’re their murderers. eef spots r and runs to hug him others follow positive to r wary to hetch b says hetch is the one responsible for saving all of them bada bing bada boom happy ending
