#// i can go for some mooncakes right now

[flaresemily]

The past rewritten itself (Qin Shi Huang)

This is actually one of my drafts that I have been keeping for a long time now so...ENJOY!!

Being an emperor has its perks. And being forced into a marriage well…that doesn't fit right. But that's what happens to Qin Shi Huang.

He doesn't really love y/n but he doesn't hate her either. Well…just imagine them as…friends yeah! Friends after all friends don't betray each other right!....right?

You were walking towards your husband's room to give him the homemade mooncake you made with the chef/baker in the kitchen.

As you get closer, you hear some…uh well what they call the unholy sounds.

You were shocked and you dropped the mooncake. Qin probably heard the thud quickly get up and rush to the ‘door’.

As he opened the ‘door’ he saw the mess on the floor and saw your figure running away.

He realizes his mistake and quickly runs after you. (after he clean himself)

From them on,you never talked to him. Making him well…obsessed on getting you to pay attention to him. (You don't know he kill the woman he slept with)

The more days passed he always saw you talking to that one guard. He was so jealous he decided to accuse you of cheating.

It was your birthday that the whole of China is celebrating.

As you were sitting there drinking. Qin Shi Huang suddenly stood up and stand In front of the others.

“My dear beloved country, I have something to announce.”

Everyone was waiting.

And finally…

“The empress is cheating on me”

A lot of ‘ooh’ and ‘aah’ can be heard.

You were shocked.

That's when people started to ‘boo’ at you.

Throwing you things and insulting you.

For a few days or weeks you have mental breakdowns; he even accused you of being pregnant with another man's child.

But what he didn't expect is for you to get kidnapped and be tortured by his people. He didn't know that they were so loyal that they dared to kidnap the empress and give her a ‘taste of her own medicine’

He realizes it when one of the old couples came to his throne room and reported it to him.

He asks his guard to check your chamber. But you were nowhere to be found.

Then, he received another news that you are getting executed In front of others.

He quickly left his palace and went to the town's square.

There…the people tied you up to the poles they made just for you. They put on a small flame to burn your legs.

You were screaming and crying and begging to be let go. Trying to tell them you were innocent.

But they wouldn't listen and continue to torture you slowly and painfully.

Then, the final punishment came.

He saw what was about to happen and quickly shouted

“NO!!!”

And stab you were stabbed already. Not once….but multiple times.

And finally your eyes as if looking at him…look at him with hurtful betrayal eyes.

You love him so much and yet…this is what you get all because you just want to give him a mooncake. Then, if you didn't bring the mooncake would you still be alive?

You were left there…dying slowly as blood started to spill out of you.

He manages to get on ‘stage’ and cradle you in his arms sobbing.

“No…y/n sob don't please!” The man cried.

As the crowd begin to lessen he carries you in his arms but he was stopped by the guards who later on snatched the corpse from him.

All he can do is watch you get taken away again.

This…is what happens when you frame your own wife. Saying that she's been sleeping with a lot of men and accusing her of carrying another man's child…

When in reality…it was you (talking about himself not readers) all along.

In Valhalla

He was walking around searching for his room when he came across a beautiful woman…

She looks exactly like you.

And she was holding a child that looked exactly like him.

But the thing is, someone else wrap his arms on your waist pulling you closer.

And it was…none other than

Hades

[hiraethhh-h]

to a new beginning

note: literally writing this because the boyband leaks got me so excited i started fucking squealing and stomping my feet. enjoy <3

pairing(s): sett x gn!reader, aphelios x gn!reader, sett x aphelios

wc: 753

“are you sure he’ll like this phel?”

aphelios gently placed his hand atop yours with a reassuring squeeze. “of course he will.” came aphelios’ soft voice. his dark gray eyes shone with warmth. a small smile began to form on your lips at the sight. with a firm nod, you looked to the hat you held in your hands.

it was a dark maroon beanie you had hastily knit, as the debut for aphelios and the others’ band was quickly approaching. it felt right to give such a gift of encouragement to sett. alune had already gifted aphelios a new headset so he could properly edit the mixtapes he and the others made. there was a matching dark pin on the front of the beanie. carefully, you moved one of the floppy ears out of the way. there were three main symbols on the pin; a sun, a moon, and a star all interwoven in some way. you had thought it fitting for your guys’ relationship.

the sound of jangling keys caused both you and aphelios to look over to the front door. it swung open, sett quick to emerge with a tired sigh. aphelios gave your hand one final squeeze before going to greet sett. the taller male pressed a quick kiss against aphelios’ dark teal hair, his other hand going to give aphelios’ hips a small squeeze. “hey mooncake.” sett greeted gruffly. he unceremoniously dumped his dark duffle bag onto the floor next to the door. with the dark gray tank top and light gray sweats sett wore, it was easy to tell he had just come from the gym.

sett was quick to call your name out. his golden eyes scanned your figure, a brow raised in silent question. “you look worried. did something happen?” aphelios took sett’s larger hand in his own, guiding his boyfriend to where you were seated on the couch. your eyes darted to aphelios, full of uncertainty and hesitation. your lover only gave you a small nod, the faintest of smiles on his lips.

“everything’s… fine, i just…” you exhaled shakily. “here, come sit.” you scooted further onto one side of the couch, gently patting the spot next to you. the cushions shifted under sett’s weight as he got comfortable. with a shaky breath, you cleared your throat shortly after. slowly, you lifted the beanie into sett’s view.

“i, uh… made this for you. since you guys are having your debut soon, i wanted to give you something.” you reached upwards to carefully place the beanie atop sett’s head. you gently brushed out any of his damp crimson locks out of the way. afterwards, you sat across from your boyfriend with your hands folded in your lap, unable to stop yourself from fidgeting with your fingers. you had slanted the beanie a bit in the end, as sett’s hair wouldn’t allow you to properly straighten the edges. the pointed ears of the beanie now stood attentively, which looked quite cute on sett’s built figure.

sett’s gaze softed, a lax smile finding its way to his face. he was quick to wrap his arms around you and pull you into his embrace. the smell of old spice flooded your senses and it was anything but overwhelming. “it looks fuckin’ cute.” he told you. sett gave you a small squeeze, leaning down to press a kiss to your cheek. you giggled upon feeling the faint stubble on his chin graze your skin. “thank you. and you ain’t gotta be nervous when giftin’ me stuff. if it’s from you or phel, i don’t give a damn what it is. i’m just grateful you thought of me.”

you could feel your heart melting in your chest at sett’s words. you wrapped your arms around his torso in return, resting your head on sett’s chest with a growing smile. behind you, the couch dipped yet again. you looked over at aphelios, a warm look in his eyes at the two of you being so close. but there was another look in his eyes as well.

“nuh-uh, don’t you say it phel. i can see it in your eyes.” you huffed with a chuckle. aphelios gave a chuckle of his own, soon to wrap his arms around you with his hands resting atop sett’s. he rested his chin on your shoulder, pecking your cheek with a smile.

together, the three of you remained in a group hug until sett proposed properly cuddling inside his bedroom to which you and aphelios happily agreed.

[quitealotofsodapop]

The first time MK learned Yuebei was even a ribbon dancer was when he was doing deliveries and happened to pass by the dance hall, and they were being let out for practice. He recognizes Wukong and Yuebei even in their glamours, and of course gets distracted by their presence. He's super excited to see Yuebei perform for real, especially since she'd take every moment she could to practice while he and Uwkong trained.

He also learns about her asthma during an outing where she spent time at the Noodle Shop while Wukong was dealing with some boring stuff at home. She'd forgotten her inhaler, and when he found it, he flew all the way to Pigsy's Noodles to drop off the little canister with cute tiny stickers all over it.

The Noodle Gang were alle excited for Yuebei's performance and understood her anger. Altho, her dancing troupe certainly expected their most fragile member to suddenly transform into a raging demon monkey with fiery eyes because of the spiders attacking. And she definitely knows self defense, she's Wukong's daughter, and that's a given, so she was able to help quite a few of them escape before she got caught.

Spider Queen actually did a double take when she saw Yuebei, but one it clicked who this angry little monkey was she had the biggest grin. Oh, this was just PRECIOUS to her! Wukong's little girl is as fiery as her father! And wheezing. She should probably get that checked out. When Wukong dropped in (having been waiting with the others for Yuebei's performance when he learned the parents weren'tallowed in the parade) he took one look at Yuebei dangling from a web and immediately went on the attack.

This ended predictably.

LBD also noticed the strange way the web reacted to Yuebei, which is why she didn't move to help her. She was a threat, so she wasn't going to risk it. Not to mention her suffering brought Wukong pain, something she very much approved of. Later on, she'll devise a plan to try to use her, but for now, the girl can just sit and suffer.

Macaque is shook by the revelation that Wukong even had a daughter, but he doesn't have much time before the father-daughter duo are jumping from the mech themselves. Wukong's priority was to get Yuebei safe, never mind his ex being right there! If Macaque wanted to continue this later, he knew where to find him.

Spider Queen does have the grace to show concern and understand Wukong's rage when she later learns about Yuebei's asthma attack. She hadn't meant to harm her. Before that, she gets the ever loving shit beaten out of her thorax. Wukong's little girl had to be hospitalized and could have died. He was not in a merciful mood. SQ was lucky to even be alive, especially with DBK and the rest of the Gang right there as well.

Prev.

Yuebei quickly discovers that she and her dad have been assimilated into the Noodle Gang troupe.

I think one way MK learns that Yuebei ribbon dances is during the "Calabash" episode. Jin and Yin are clearly inside a prop room of a theatre. Now I'm imagining the bros fighting over how to control the calabash projection for MK, only for a certain little monkey to pop in.

Yuebei: "Hey, have you guys seen the box of spare-" Jin & Yin: (*fighting over the calabash, having used all the spare dance ribbons for their planning board*) Yuebei: (*looks down and sees empty Pigsy's Noodles' containers and signs of a struggle*) Yuebei, realising what's going on: "Ugh..." Yuebei: (*readies to kick the twins' butts*) (*cut to after the butt-whooping where MK is free from the Calabash*) MK: "Phew! Thanks for the assist Monkey Princess!" Yuebei: "Don't call me that. And don't mention it." MK: "What were you doing around here any-" (*notices her outfit*) "-No way! Are you a dancer?! Do you kick butt using those fancy ribbon things?" Yuebei, embarrassed: "N-no! I just like the exercise!" Wukong, from the other room: "Mooncake! Your teacher is getting worried! Are you ok back there?" MK: "He's here too!?" :D!!

Yuebei tries to be aloof on the matter, but it's hard when MK has the personality of a friendly dog and is her dad's student. Wukong is happy to see MK and Mei going out of their way to include Yuebei in their shenanigans, even bringing her to the noodle shop for after practice lunch.

I love the details of her inhaler being covered in stickers - thats so cute!! There are sites that sell custom inhaler casings/skins for kids and adults, just a fun little change from the blues and browns.

You know MK gets some friendship points for helping Yuebei out with her kissing inhaler. No matter how much Yuebei tries to hide how touched she is by the action.

Tang and Pigsy go full uncle-mode on the little girl, glamour or known monkey, this is a friend of MK's. One that seems to really like Pigsy's spicier dishes, and knows a lot about Chinese folklore.

As for New Years...

LBD is a callous but calculating villain. She can tell that Wukong's weakling daughter hold some unknown power. A power that makes the witch... uneasy. If a lack of breath is this child's weakness, then LBD exploits it.

The Spider Gang, once they learn about Yuebei's asthma attack and LBD breaking her inhaler, all think its a major jerk move. The kid was already captured and helpless, no reason to break her medicine. In front of her dad no less! Spider Queen in particular is mortified.

No wonder the whole Spider Gang gets launched away Team Rocket-style at the end of New Years.

As for Macaque its more...

Wukong: "Look, I don't care what your problem is with me, but keep my daughter out of it." Macaque: "OUR daughter." Wukong: "Huh?" Macaque: "Wukong, I've seen her perform. That cannot have all come from you." Wukong: (*huffs but doesn't deny anything*)

from one admirer to another : mid-autumn festival?

pairing: leon kennedy x reader || masterpost: from one admirer to another

synopsis: from one admirer to another, an online penpal service, allows for two people with common interests to write to each other without ever revealing their actual address! Luckily for both you and Leon, you get matched up! What do eggs and Christmas even have in common anyway? sure hope it's that modeling business and NOT that Ada Wong addiction.

featuring: reader as scrambled eggs // leon as christmas

Christmas. You whore.

If you really want to keep your identity a secret, I suggest you zip that mouth of yours and stop telling me exactly what my best friend told me first thing when she came back. I can't put two and two together because all she told me was it was the guy I made out with on New Year's and my DUMBASS FORGOT WHO HE IS.

You're using the lingo right (as always) I'm probably around your age too, so don't worry too much about it.

Ugh, Ada supermodel... I should be happy but that only ever means weird male fans and girl fans that would dox me if I ever was down to earth about Ada as a person. I love her, but I also like the little circle of fans local to us right now. Since she's supermodel status now, she's probably going to be in Raccoon less and less. You know how the modeling life is.

Please don't stalk ANYONE. You don't need to stalk me down. If you know who I am, then surely you'll meet me eventually. Considering your language, we've probably already met before. Considering also the fact that you told me not to run off when you asked me for your number... I have a general idea of who you are as well. I still like writing letters to you, so I'd appreciate it if you just pursued me outside of the letters if you're really that desperate. I find dating face-to-face much better than through letters anyway. Though, you are going to have to be fairly obvious. All of my friends claim I'm dumb in the head when it comes to my own romantic life. I only ever notice people dating when it's others.

I don't appreciate that threat of yours. I'm sure I'll see you eventually, but probably not anytime soon. I don't even have shoots until later in the month, so even if you do see me, it'll be after you send me a letter back.

Favorite flower? Columbines, bellflowers, anemones, you know, the usual. Thinking about getting me flowers? I care much more for meaning than whether or not they're my favorite flowers. Though, if you were to ship flowers to my apartment, my roommate would probably hunt you down with her rifle, so I suggest not doing that.

I forgot a gift last time, but I appreciate the pressed four-leaf clover you went out and hunted nonetheless. I'm mailing you two mooncakes my roommate and I made (moreso me, but shh). Hope you like it. It doesn't have egg yolk in it. It's one lotus seed paste filling and one red bean. Lmk if you like it, since there's a high chance I'll have some leftover anyway.

God, this letter's long I'm in your walls :) scrambled eggs

"Welcome back." You look up at Ada from the couch, and she sighs.

"I hate this new life."

"No you don't."

"No I don't." She mumbles. "I love it."

"Is your manager considering having you move to a big city?"

"New York." Ada mumbles. "Most of my shoots are in the big city now, and they're arguing about how I can't keep living in Raccoon City. What happens if I leave you?"

"I leave the agency." You hum. "That easy."

"Easier said than done."

"My contract expires in a bit." You hand her the plate of mooncakes on the side table, and she sighs, biting into one. "I can choose to not renew my contract."

"It expires at the end of the year."

"They've started discussions with me already. I don't really want to keep modeling. The diet control and freakiness about how much I weigh isn't good for me. You know that too."

"You'll probably have to stop writing to your penpal then."

"They know who I am now anyway, so it doesn't matter. They'll probably find me in the next three months."

"You have that kind of confidence?"

"Yes. Ada. My penpal will chase me, and you can go chase your dreams. You deserve to." You toss your laptop to the side, wrapping your arms around her neck. "I'm happy I got to be in your life for so long. I'll only continue to stay, so have peace and keep going."

She wraps her arms around you, light frown on her face as she sighs. "I'll miss you."

"I'll miss you too. Also, the last chapter of my fic comes out today anyway, so it seems like a good time for you to start flying."

Ada rolls her eyes, pulling back to bonk your head.

"Boo."

"Boo you too." You roll your eyes. "You couldn't have racked up so many followers so quickly had it not been for my amazing writing skills, obviously."

"You're insane."

"And you're friends with me."

She only scoffs.

──★ ˙ ̟ Blue Lock matchup No.5 @mooncakes-and-peaches

Hello! This is my last current matchup. I’ll be writing more soon as I have 3 shorter bonus ones planned for the few people who sent in after the cut-off. I’ll be opening them up again soon once I find I have more free time! I also have some special types of matchups planned so stay tuned!

So anyways, some of the things you noted in your matchup felt really refined and sort of sophisticated, in a way? So, with that, I decided to match you to Reo Mikage!

I know you’re anime only, and so matching you to Reo might not make much sense now, but his personality really shines through in the manga, and I might write a bit over my intended limit trying to prove that to you, so hear me out!

―୨୧⋆ ˚ “I'm a huge homebody. I enjoy watching TV… drawing occasionally.. writing ideas and characters for stories…” 

“…and working out (my goal is to look fit and I’ve actually managed to get some muscle!) I like playing tennis, but I have to be in the mood and the weather has to be right.” 

If you’ve read most of my matchups so far, I’ve said this same thing a few times, but most of your description sort of gave me Reo vibes (if that makes sense). We know that canonically, Reo is/was studious in school, achieved high marks and always performed well in what he did/does. Despite this, I feel as though he’d definitely enjoy staying home after a long day of training (as anyone else probably would). Though, Reo would definitely motivate you to play more tennis; he’d probably see potential in your skills despite you having specific conditions to be in the mood to play right! He’d also bring you along when he has training at the gym, and the two of you would train together, and this way, the both of you can meet your fitness goals together. Though on those off days when the both of you aren’t in the right mood to go to the gym, you’d stay home, and binge watch a TV show together, sharing a bowl of popcorn and different types of chocolates that he picked up from a super-high-end chocolatier earlier that day. I feel like Reo, being the rich kid that he is, is probably used to super refined tastes, like 95%+ dark chocolate. I’m not sure whether you like dark chocolate or not (personally, I absolutely love it) but if you don’t he’d try to convince you to try it, and if you do, the two of you would eat the box of chocolates together.

―୨୧⋆ ˚ “I'll let things slide here and there, but I've never been a big risk-taker/have been rebellious. At the same time, and I know this is contradicting, I'm a very lazy individual, but recently I've been doing better doing what needs to be done and more.”

Seeing as Reo is kinda a textbook spoiled rich kid, he also carries a little bit of a ‘look at me, I’m following the rules’ kind of personality, but not necessarily in a bad way. Seeing as you’re someone who seems to avoid trouble, he may see you as a ‘refined’ individual and take interest in that. We know that Reo is a huge business and stocks nerd, (duh) his family says it all. So, I’d imagine that he’d constantly yap to you about those types of things, asking you if you’ve seen the stocks today, and always telling you and about the shifting economic state of whichever country is on his mind today. I may be wrong about this, but in the case that you do know about those types of things (I def do not) I can imagine the two of you talking about it for hours. In the case that you don’t really know much about business-y type things, you’d listen to him talk and talk about something he read in a book he bought earlier that day, only to end his yap session by saying: 

“Well, I don’t really care since I don’t want my dad’s company anyway. I’ve got Nagi, and together, our soccer will…”. Congratulations, yap session number 2 is about to begin! Although, you don’t really mind, because seeing Reo finally have something to call his own brings a special type of warmth to your heart. His newfound motivation towards wanting to be good at something that he grew from nothing himself definitely makes you feel like you can motivate yourself to build your own skill at things that you already enjoy doing. 

I’d imagine that Reo would obviously bring you to meet Nagi. He’d take you along to watch him practice one time and introduce you to his closest friends (literally only Nagi, maybe Chigiri? – but I won’t spoil anything for you). Seeing as you didn’t mention soccer as one of your interests he might suggest that the three of you play a sport together one day, and you’d suggest tennis. With Nagi being the talented freak he is, his general skill in almost anything he does may physically exhaust you, with you opting to watch him and Reo go against each other in a match while you keep the scores. That’s not to say that you’re bad at playing tennis, of course. Nagi is (was) known to make these types of underhanded comments at another person who isn’t up to his skill level (😭). 

―୨୧⋆ ˚  “I don't have an aesthetic, I just like to wear whatever is comfy and don't really stray from my regular stuff (another thing I need to work on).”

Given his riches, Reo would obviously have expensive taste. If I’m not wrong, he wears designer clothes and all that jazz. So, seeing as you also have a super self-improving orientated mindset, (in my opinion) he’d always motivate you to do new things and open your avenues up a little. That’s why I think he’d pamper you with new clothes, or randomly take you ‘shopping’ where in reality he takes you to get one of those colour analyses, where the person would help you figure out what colour ‘looks best’ on you. He’d pay extra attention to it and buy you things based on what the analyst says. Of course, he takes it with a grain of salt, and lets his personal opinion seep through when buying you gifts. As for you, you’d give him a little ‘fashion show’ where you try on the clothes he bought you so as to not disappoint him, even if they’re not really your style. In the end, you’d pick out a couple pieces that you ended up liking a lot and scold him for splurging (just because he has tons of money, doesn’t mean he should spend it all!). He’d also take note of the types of things you ended up keeping and use it as reference for his next shopping haul for you. From personal experience, he knows that money isn’t the only thing that can keep a person happy, so he definitely tries to not overwhelm you with all his gifts and stuff. Seeing you smile and be content is one of the most important things to him, and he’d be absolutely torn if he was the reason for you to feel any sort of sadness.

Tsush and I snuck out to GenCon this weekend! Nice things will be named below.

As usual, indies got the bulk of my attention. Two books with lovely creators I got to meet: Will Kirkby was signing copies of Eat the Reich, and it was a pleasure to meet Valentino Sergi; he came all the way from Italy with Last Sabbath and the kindest, most delightful energy.

Probably gonna play these first:

Viva La Queer Bar, a "Descended from the Queen"-style game that I'm gonna play with Tsush to help round out some ideas for Lead into Gold and Gentlemen's Club.

The Librarian's Apprentice. Yeah, The Stacks got me bad,

Primadonna, A Wretched & Alone Game that I'm looking forward to using to journal something NonPlatonic Forms-esque,

Kingdom Death, After so many years passing by the booth the curiosity has overwhelmed me, and with a digital version that is so much cheaper than the hundreds of dollars it's always been, I just gotta. Also, the digital version takes place with a separate horror game going on around you while you play the base game? I dunno, but I'm here for it.

I picked up some tea samples from Tea & Absinthe. Particularly looking forward to checking out the Moon Rabbit tea; it's almost the season for mooncakes, but it'll hopefully tide me over Shoutout to the Naughty Lobstah food truck for the best meal, and GoaterMac's Funhouse for existing. Did not think I would run into him at all, and though I managed to play it cool, it just isn't GenCon without him.

There are some freebies down at the bottom, as well as a couple flyers for the upcoming Fallen London TTRPG from Failbetter and Magpie Games. I took a handful for reccomending; I love it when people do that at my table, and the Magpie vendor gave me the green light. If all is well with the mechanics, there's a solid chance I'll volunteer to run this at GenCon next year. So stay tuned!

Going back to the con for the first time since witching up the ol hormones et al., I kind of assumed I'd have to put up with getting misgendered all weekend. But they print pronouns on the badge itself now, and hand out bright green ribbons with a surprising selection. (Tsush was even able to get a He/They one)! And every single attendee and vendor did right by me, it felt great.

Seeing older geeks at GenCon has always been a thing that brings me joy. And I got a little emotional, more than once, knowing that now I get to grow into an old nerd man one day.

I’m definitely going back next year, and I think I wanna be even more social. Maybe if you’re there, we can hang out, or at least high-five on the way to our various events. 😁

Behind these Violet Eyes Arc 1 Part 6

Chapter 23: The Moon's Rage

Summary: Kayn and his friends follow Sett and Aphelios and find out that Aphelios is the Moonlight Prince. Aphelios felt something strange, and he became a different person.

WC: 988

November 8, 10:35 P.M. - Rakan's Car

Chat:

Ez: Phel, be careful

Aphelios: What is it?

Ekko: Ez saw some chefs that look like Kayn and his friends

Aphelios: Got it 👍

-

"Who were you texting?" Sett asks Aphelios, and he puts his phone away. "Is Ez, he asked us where were we?" Aphelios signed, and he doesn't want Sett worried about him.

"So... where are you taking me?" Aphelios asks Sett, and he looks at him. "Is a surprise Mooncake, I want you to close your eyes." Sett smiled at Aphelios, and he closed his eyes.

Sett arrives at the place he told Aphelios about. He got out of the car and helped Aphelios since his eyes were close, and they walked slowly.

"Are we... there yet?" Aphelios asks Sett, and he shook his head. "Not yet, Phel. We're almost here," Sett stops as he places his hands to Aphelios' eyes for more romantic between these two.

"Ready?" Aphelios nodded at Sett's question, and Sett released his hands from his face. Aphelios opened his eyes and saw a beautiful view that showed the ocean and the full moon.

"I asked Rakan to find a good place to see the moon, and he recommended this place," Sett explained as he grabbed Aphelios' hand and looked at him.

"Phel, my Mooncake, my Moonlight Prince...ever since we met online, I was very curious about you, and you explained about your life, and I explained about my life as well."

"Now that I found you since the ring chase that your friends, my friends, and Kayn's friends had started and we started hanging out."

"Sett...."

Sett pulls out a blue box and opens to reveal a sun and moon necklaces: the sun necklace is gold with a red gem, and the moon necklace is silver with a blue gem "Aphelios...will you be my boyfriend?" Aphelios was shocked about Sett's confession, and tears appeared in his violet eyes.

"Are you okay, Mooncake?" Sett asked, and he nodded. "Yes...is just...I never felt so happy...in my life." Aphelios hugs Setts and starts crying. Sett hugs him back and wipe Phel's tears with his big hand. "Let's try the necklaces, I bought two: one for you and one for me."

As Sett helps Aphelios with the necklace, Kayn and his friends are spying on them in the bushes and looking at them with the binoculars. "I hate this Kayn, can we go home? I'm going to miss an episode of my favorite s-" Kayn put his hand on Kai's mouth and saw something shiny.

"I f*cking knew it." Kayn saw the ring on Aphelios' hand and smirked. "As I predicted, the Moonboy is The Moonlight Prince all along." Kayn gives the boys his binoculars, and they see the ring.

"No way...."

"I thought blondie was The Moonlight Prince"

"They are perfect together"

"Indeed Kai"

"Yea-What!?" Kayn looked at Valmar and Kai and he facepalm. "What should we do, Kayn?" Rhaast asks Kayn, and he smirks. "We know that Moonboy is Thresh's adoptive son. Let's steal the ring and tell him about his secrets." Kayn smirks as he puts on a black ski mask and comes out of the bushes.

"It looks beautiful. It matches your ring, Phel," Sett said while Aphelios looked at his ring and smiled. "Maybe I'll give you something for Christmas next month."

"Aww, Phel, you don't have t-"

*WHACK*

"SETT!!" Aphelios saw the masked man hit Sett with a log, and he fell. He tries to get close to him, but the other masked man grabs him behind as the rest of the men ganged him.

"Well, well, looks like we have something good to steal for us," the masked man smirks as he gets close to him.

*GASP*

"Are you okay, Alune?" Diana asks Alune, and she nodded. "Yeah...I forgot to pray, Mother Moon Aunt Diana, I'll be right back," Alune said as she hugged her aunt and left to pray.

"Oh Yuumi...what should I do about her?" Diana asks Yuumi as Yuumi meows and lays down with her gifts.

Alune arrives at her room and goes to her balcony and looks at the full moon. It was white, big, and beautiful, and the moonlight showered on Alune's body. She got down on her knees and put her hands together, and started praying.

Oh, Mother Moon....

Please be my brother, be safe from danger

I beg you, Mother Moon

Please...

Aphelios' ring starts glowing blue and releases from the masked man's grip and punches him.

"What the?" Aphelios was looking at his hands shakingly and sensed danger and saw one of the men with a log and hit him. His glasses fell on the ground and looked at them in rage.

The masked men saw Aphelios' eyes changed from violet to light blue, and they got scared of him. Aphelios approached the masked men, and they ran away like cowards, and he started chasing them, but they got away in their van.

Aphelios fell onto his knees, breathing slowly, and his eyes returned back to his violet eyes. He looks at Sett and crawls to him.

"Sett!! Sett!! Wake up!!" Aphelios tries to wake Sett up, and he open his golden eyes and sees Phel without his glasses. "Phel... you alright..."

"Stay still, I'll call an ambulance." Aphelios pulls out his phone and calls 911 while looking at his glasses.

"Who were those guys....."

"YOU IDIOTS!! WHY DIDN'T YOU KIDNAPPED HER!?" Thresh yells at Varus' phone, and Kayn grabs his phone and links to his van on Bluetooth.

"Listen, old man, we got something interesting to tell"

"What is it?" Thresh asks, and Kayn smirks at the question. "Did your son have a ring?" Kayn asks Thresh, which he got confused at Kayn's question. "Yeah, since I found him when he was a baby, why?" Thresh responds to Kayn's question, which made Kayn smirk.

"I'll explain everything"

A/N: Oh boy...what will Kayn do...and we hope Sett and Aphelios are okay... find out at the last chapter of Part 6 on Monday.

My list of Queer books.

Now my labeling only has to do with the main protagonist, except for the books labeled "Queer" some of those the main protagonist is not Queer but the book has lots of Queer main and side characters. I only included the first books to make it easier but some of these are series.

The problem with making lists for books is that there's So. Goddamn. Many! New ones are being released every single day so all I can really do is add as I go. I also take recommendations so let me know of books I missed (specify what category they go in please 😊). I could also add specific Sexualities and Genders but right now I'm just doing basic categories because this is going to take time.

✨🧪HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEI 🧪✨

It's September 17!!! Which means it's the birthday of everyone's (my) favourite pharmaceutical doctor🥺🥺🥺I love her so much 🥺🥺🥺

It's no surprise that she's my current obsession and a lot of my brainrot is based on her orz so ofc I had to do her justice for her birthday! Which is today -- September 17~

Since Sept 17 this year is also Mid Autumn Fest I was hoping to draw her eating some mooncake maybe with Ceres or Vail or Elise 🤔🤔🤔 Let's see if I can squeeze in a sketch tomorrow.

As for how she usually celebrates her birthday? I imagine usually with her friends and Vail XD Maybe this year, they had hotpot and mooncakes 🤣* I imagine her favourite filling might be low sugar red bean or lotus seed. I tried to draw some lotuses in the BG of her birthday art but uhhhh I free handed them so they might not be the best. The flower in her hair is supposed to be a lotus too but I didn't look at a ref before I drew it so it's not accurate LOL SOME FUN FACTS FOR THE UPCOMING CYBERPUNK VIS NOVEL THAT'S DEF GOING TO COME OUT BEFORE 2030 (pls believe and cope with me)

Fun fact 1: The events of the campaign take place right after had a girl's night out with Elise + Ceres 😭

Fun fact 2: In the campaign, her birthday present from Vail is Meng, her ragdoll cat :3

Fun fact 3: The diamond-shaped green gemstone necklace she's often depicted wearing was Ceres' gift to her!

Comparing this year to last year's piece, I'm super proud of my improvement. I tried to keep everything almost the same except her hair is a little longer since it's been a year~ I think the main improvement is me being able to draw hands sometimes now XD (I REALLY TRIED FOR THIS PIECE T_T) Maybe you might notice other improvement I've made? 🥺

Let's also compare last year's Lei bday art (2023) compared to this year's (2024). For some reason last year's art looks really wonky in terms of the face even though I actually drew the sketch on pencil traditionally??? Also ofc there's no hands drawing LOL And the hair is shorter but for some reason there's no green dye? Although in this year's piece note that the green dye migrated cuz she didn't dye her hair so it simply,,, moved down LOL as her hair grew

NOW THAT'S WHAT WE CALL ✨IMPROVEMENT✨

But to blab more about Lei's birthday while we have space 🤔🤔🤔 CONSIDERING THE MODERN AU where Lei + her friends are in university (and med school LOL)... I imagine the first year they threw her a surprise birthday party cuz Gigi is very good at planning parties 💅 But they can't do that every year or she'll expect it!

Lei is half Chinese so that's why it's really cool her bday this year falls on mid autumn fest! It's extra cool cuz she already has some moon motifs with her flower symbolism being moon flower + an unreleased parallel for the witch au/ fantasy au + celestial themed wallpaper i was going to draw... I HAVE TOO MANY OC BRAINWORMS NOT ENUFF SKILL OR TIME

Some brainworms at 2am

smaller party this year and it's a hotpot party!

If it's with her closer family it would be with Gigi + Elise + Ceres + Vail (so a party of 5) + cats

The only reason I might imagine with the Mertalline group (larger group) is so Flash can show up XD BUT ALSO IN THIS AU FLASH IS VAIL'S NEIGHBOUR XD so maybe if they're at Vail's appt he will show up anyways 🤔

I was imagining the party to take place at Ceres + Lei's shared appt BUTTTTTT just for the Flash cameo 🤣🤣🤣 That's going to be the canon

They probably have a dual pot/ divider thing so there's a white broth + spicy broth! I wonder who can handle spice in the group? Def Gigi... maybe Elise? I imagine not Ceres and maybe not even Vail! It's Lei and Flash I wonder of the two if they can handle spice 🤔🤔 I think Lei can, but not super spicy -- just enough to eat spicy food and not die LOL

dessert is mooncakes instead of cakes... DEF MULTIPLE FLAVOURS SO EVERYONE CAN TRY DIFF FLAVOURS -- classics like lotus seed + red bean (low sugar for lei + normal sugar for sweet tooths like vail and gigi) + maybe some unique ones like pineapple or ube or sweet potato?

maybe they do some moonviewing together too 🥺 take a stroll to the local university grass field and enjoy being in each other's presence

I wonder what Lei's friends would give her?

I'm thinking that Ceres would handmake some thing(s) -- maybe an album she worked on for the past year about their fave memories! Maybe a painting of Meng + Cillin, or a keychain?

Elise would likely go with perfume, scented candles, or jewelry like earrings -- something she knows Lei would like or use!

Gigi's gift is her presence in Lei's life (IM JOKING BUT ALSO THIS IS TRUE). She'd probably give Lei a pretty outfit that she'd like Lei to wear + it would fit Lei perfectly -- SHE MIGHT EVEN SEW OR DESIGN IT HERSELF???

Vail's birthday gift for the first year is Meng AS IT IS CANON but for this one I imagine they already have Cillin + Meng so 🤔🤔🤔 maybe this year it's his d- I'm kidding... sorry LOL probably something like earrings actually XD since he's gone shopping with her. He likely recruited the help of Ceres and Elise and Gigi for this tho. Maybe even a fluffy robe or bathcoat... IDK I feel like he's rather practical with gifts and he probably treats her well outside of her birthday / gifts her things anyways so XD

It's really hard to top a cat let's be real here

I kinda want to write a short fanfic... NGHHHHHH if I have time tmr (me doing all these things for tmr 🤡🤡🤡)

[settphel-enthusiast]

The new age of Guardians

- Vi, Caitlyn, Sett, Aphelios & Alune and Jayce

This is just my silly little story of the next age of Star Guardians, I'm not entirely well-versed in the lore. I just know the basics, and i have a problem with Settphel, and I have 0 reason for selecting these sets of champions for the new age of Guardians. But alas. Here you go!

This will be chapter one?? I guess??

This is probably cringe af, but idc. Sorry for any typos, I'm on my phone ;^; I'm not sure how many words but it's long. Kekw

Now. Summers were never.. Empty. Not like this.. Sett always had Aphelios to spend his summers with. But this year was eerily quiet, ever since Aphelios left and got himself corrupted for the sake of the team.

The sacrifice in question? To give Sett one more chance at finding his father and to get revenge.

The Guardians needed that Intel, so? Aphelios sacrificed himself up for it. Against Vi's wishes, against Sett's demands.

But.. Sett kept Aphelios' gem, close to his bed side drawer.

"Where ever you are, you can reach me with this."

Those were Aphelios' last words to Sett.

The vastayan stared up at his ceiling, it was late.. He rolled onto his side and looked at the time;

2:32am

He sighed and climbed out if bed with a wave of his hand; brushing over his gem, with a flurry fo sparkles and a symphony of shimmers, his familiar sparkled out of his gem with an inquisitive chirp,

"We're going to find him, Nico," with a confident smile across Sett's lips; exposing those pearly fangs he kept sharp for his Ma!

Grabbing his cap, he put it on, making sure his ears poked through the appropriate holes, and he opened his window; climbing out, jumping down from the second story, landing with his knee bent and his palm on the floor; catching himself.

Sett, using Nico to his advantage would give him a little boost as he began running, picking up speed rather quickly.

Where was he off to?

Just a simple rooftop in Valoran, where he would rummage through his pocket to pick out Aphelios' soft orange-purple glistening gemstone.

He took a deep breath in and sighed it out with puff of his cheek, and he brought the gemstone close to his chest, concentrating on his power to bring the gemstone to life.

To create a portal directly linking to Aphelios.

And without a shot of a doubt; Aphelios climbed through, his rich dark purples and blues covering his outfit, with his eyes star-struck,

"What?" He signed,

"You uh.. Still lost your voice, huh?" Sett laughed nervously,

"Yes. Zoe doesn't want me spilling secrets," he explained through quick signing, which Sett only picked up a few words,

"Right uhm-- Listen," Sett's hand reached up, rubbing the back of his neck, "Summer vacation is almost over, Ma is worried about you," he sighed.

"Really?" Aphelios seemed.. Interested, even a little glint of joy filled his eyes, albeit his aloof expression.

"Yeah, man! She asked if you were coming this year, it was weird without you," Sett awkwardly clapped his gloved hands together.

"I see.. Tell her I said hello and I miss her," Aphelios' expression grew saddened, softer.

"Yeah, I will- and.. Classes are starting tomorrow, so.. We'll all be together again and we'll save you this time, okay?" Sett wore that iconic, dumb, bright smile across his lips.

"Okay," Aphelios signed,

Sett's arms stretched out, offering a hug to Aphelios.

And he took it; wrapping his arms around Sett. If he could feel anything else but the agony of being star struck by the corruption, he'd cry. There was a single tear rolling down his cheek, but.. He quickly pushed Sett away,

"I need to go back. You should get some sleep," Aphelios signed before turning his back to face the whirring portal, wiping away a tear with the back of his fist,

"I will, sleep well, Mooncake," Sett looked down at his arms, as the corruption started sinking into his skin, adding to his grit for his next fight.

Every time they met up; Sett took a little bit more of Aphelios' corruption.

His theory was working. He could almost see Aphelios smile.

His theory was; if he could use the corruption the creatures used on him, and let his body turn it into light, why couldn't he take Zoe's corruption?

Sett went back home, satisfied with his solo mission.

He got a few extra hours of sleep before he went to school; kissing his Mom goodbye,

"Settrigh! Don't forget your lunch!" She rushed to put it in his bag- sighing,

"Thanks, mama! I'll be back before you know it," he waved with a vibrant smile.

Now, the dorms were separated; but the school kept the Guardians close to one another for emergencies.

But last year was empty without Akali, Rakan, and Aphelios.

Akali was MIA, Rakan was in and out of treatment for his corruption that still riddled his soul, and Aphelios was.. With Zoe.

Sett went for his dorm; putting his things down, keeping his locket with Aphelios' gem on his chained necklace, hiding it under his shirt.

Classes were.. A bit difficult; Settrigh had a hard time sitting still, but he remained upbeat and like the typical jock he was; making sure everyone was smiling around him.

The next night was.. Strange.

Sett had a dream about losing control and hurting the people around him; like he was some sort of mangled beast, afraid but attacking everything and destroying everyone - and when it came to Aphelios, he gasped and clutched his chest, reaching out with the other.

He was drenched in sweat, looking down at his hands. They were still normal. Looking at his clock;

2:32am..

The second night in a row he's been up at this time.

Settrigh stood up, heading to the bathroom with sleepy steps; in nothing but his PJs; which included just his boxers and a tank top.

Turning on the water, he watched as the running water scurried down the drain. Deep in thought.

Should he tell Aphelios about his dream? Should he tell Vi?

No.. He couldn't tell them a thing. Not a soul.

Sett's hand came down to the water, gathering some of it and letting it pool in the curve of his palm before he'd bring it up to his face to wash it. Taking another deep breath in as he'd wipe his hand down his face.

Looking up in the mirror; only to get a glimpse of that dark, rich purple and blue frame of Aphelios-

Sharply, Sett turned around to grab him but..

There was nothing.

He closed his eyes and turned the water off, slumping off to bed once again.

But this was a sacrifice he was willing to take.

Come the next day; and Sett was out of it, for the most part.

"Hey! Spiky!" Vi called out, slamming her hands on the table,

"Huh? What?" Sett perked up, looking up at Violet with Caitlyn close to her hip.

"Are you okay?" Caitlyn lowered herself so that she could put her elbows on Sett's desk,

"Yeah, oh.. I just didn't sleep very well, bad dream, you know how they are!" Sett couldn't help but smile around his peers; especially his leader.

If Vi were to find out his plans? He'd be kicked and prohibited from working with them ever again.

"Right.." Vi's eyes narrowed, "We have a mission after classes, just some nemesis scum, you in, pretty boy?" Vi cocked a brow, tapping his desk with her finger,

"Yeah! Damn straight, I am, always ready to beat up some corrupt fools!" He'd punch his palm with a smug grin,

"See? Told'ja he was fine," Vi motioned to Sett before turning her back to walk to the dorms,

"Well, see you soon then, Settrigh," Caitlyn offered a smile to him.

He sighed and stood up; he wasn't far behind the girls, and they grabbed Jayce along the way.

Upon heading to the rooftops of their dorms, they all got changed into their assigned Star Guardian attire while prepping their weapons, "Ready, big guy?" Jayce smiled at Sett,

"You know I am," Sett cracked his neck while slipping his gloves on; they were designed to withstand the negative energy of the corruption, and run it through his body and turn it into positive energy (grit)

Vi waved her gauntlet to open a portal to another place in Valoran city; ruined with all these corrupted pests. Clearly ran by Rek'sai, a pet of Morgana's.

As they jumped through the portal without hesitation, falling from the sky above, down to the ground in a flurry of sparkles,

Rising to their feet, Vi cracked her gauntlets' knuckles, "Let's go!" She called out,

"That your version of a pep talk?! Could use some work!" Sett called out, his smile obnoxious and wide, exposing his fangs as he ran into the heat of battle.

"Your form could use work, fluffy!" Vi only teased back as she did the same; following the motion of Sett's body; making sure she had his back covered.

Caitlyn pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed, but she quickly loaded her gun up with stardust and begun aiming for the heads of the corrupted bugs.

Jayce kept Caitlyn's back clear; blasting any that got too close to the both of them.

"Don't go far you two!" Caitlyn called out.

Vi huffed and checked their position; they were in a bit deep, "Sett! Pull back!" Vi called out.

But Sett? He was in the heat of it, all he could think about was Aphelios and how he gave him up. His punches flowed like water, one after the other. He couldn't hear anything else but his own heavy breath as it pierced into his lungs, and the squelching, screeching of these corrupted insects.

Sett kept going and going, until he was at maximum grit.

That's when he turned around to the few corruption he let through and unleashed a splash of light and stardust; using all his prowess to eliminate the insects that charged forth.

He stopped, with a heavy pant, freezing in place. And he'd stand up right, "How's that for flashy?" He chuckled, looking back at the rest of the team.

They looked.. Troubled.

Settrigh pivoted his hips, looking over his shoulder. There was a glimpse of Aphelios, and his heart sunk, "Phel," he mumled.

Aphelios' dark purple eyes, almost solemnly settled on Sett, turning away and closing the portal behind him.

Clenching his fists, his knuckles turned white, and he clenched his jaw, bringing a hand up to his chest; where his gem resided, "I'll find ya, Phel, don't worry," he whispered.

"Over here!" Caitlyn called out, kneeling down in front of a few of the insects,

Everyone ran over pretty quick; Sett, taking his time, his eyes on where the portal was. But he rushed over,

"What's up?" Sett knelt down onto one knee,

"Aphelios leading this attack shows that he's gained Zoe's trust, when we get him back, he can give us the Intel we need to take her down, he's making this worth it," Caitlyn inspected the bugs closely,

"And these were made by Rek'sai, she's having more influence lately," Vi butted in,

"We'll get him, Settrigh, hang in there," Caitlyn put her hand on Sett's shoulder,

Sett smiled, "We all miss him, not fair to be worried about just me, right?" A laugh, he stood up and rolled his shoulder, "Let's clean up before anyone sees," Sett pivoted,

All of them eliminated the bodies, disintegrating them into stardust.

And of course. Back to the dorms, they went.

Making sure nothing was destroyed on their way back.

Sett fell behind, "I just need to pick something up. Don't wait for me," Sett's hand raised, almost waving the group off,

"Oh, alright- be safe!" Caitlyn's voice choed through the empty streets as the street lamps started lighting up. And off they went.

Dinner was delicious as usual; steak with roast vegetables and apple pie for desert.

Sett was really missing out!

The Vastayan found himself back at the scene of the crime; searching, scanning.

Until he heard footsteps behind him and instinctively, Sett's body pivoted; ready to swing but..

He stopped and sighed, "Don't sneak up on people like that, Mooncake," he laughed, bringing his hands back to his body,

"How're you doing? You didn't get hurt, did you?" Aphelios' voice, barely above a whisper,

"Well hey! Look who's found his voice," Sett couldn't help but tease with his signature smile across his lips,

A nervous laugh came from Aphelios, lowering his head, kicking some dirt, "Yeah, I think Zoe gave me permission to speak," lies. The corruption burdened Aphelios' body, the pain and discomfort keeping him from talking.

But the more Sett took, the easier it was for Aphelios to deal with it.

"Ah, yeah, that's good! Fantastic even," Sett rubbed his hands together, "But I'm fine, you know how I am, big toughie," his elbow nudged Aphelios' arm,

"Yes, you were always the strong one," Aphelios' hand ran across the bridge of his Severum,

"We--" Sett bit his lips together for a moment, "I miss you," he muttered out, running his fingers across his gloves slowly,

The corners of Aphelios' eyes welled up with tears. He sniffled and cleared his throat, turning his head, "Yeah! I miss you too," trying to stay strong, his walls were crumbling.

"Phel," Sett whispered, and he'd step forward; hooking his fingers underneath Aphelios' chin, getting his head to turn, "It's hard, you're doing great, let me help you," Sett lowered go Aphelios' height,

"What?" Aphelios' brows knitted together, confused, wiping away his tears with the back of his hand,

Saying nothing else, Sett brought Aphelios in for another hug; this time it was tight, desperate, greedy. Like he was saying goodbye.

It didn't take long for Kai'sa and Xayah to show up; they quickly pieced together what Sett was up to,

"Settrigh! Stop! You don't know what that's going to--" Xayah called out, reaching her hand out.

A flurry of starlight, swishing, and swooshing of galaxies around them; keeping Xayah and Kai'sa out of the way.

Another portal shredded through time and space, and Morgana curiously peaked her head out, a raise in her brow as her arm would rest under her bosom, tilting her head, "What's this?"

And with the compression of stardust and galaxies, the two of them vanished.

Sett and Aphelios were not to be found.

Xayah and Kai'sa were left dumb founded, looking around for them, and Morgana closed that portal up. Not wasting her time with an unnecessary fight.

"Settrigh! Aphelios!" Xayah called out, her heart sinking. Where would they have gone?

"Call the others. We need to find them before Morgana does," Kai sa, instructing Xayah with the full confidence of a leader. While pulling her phone out, Kai'sa kept her eyes peeled, pacing back and forth anxiously, calling as many of the Guardians as they could to get this search party underway.

"Pick up.." She chewed her thumb nail; trying to call Sett.

While Xayah fled the scene to gather Rakan, Senna, Seraphine, and she'd hope for Orianna, as well as any of the others, if they so wished.

With Sett's prowess? The things that Morgana could do..

[zhongrin]

Heyo! HSR anon friend here. I'm still at Equilibrium level 1. XD

I just finished doing chest hunting and some hidden achievements / quests in Belobog, and I went back to finish some events. I did get all of the overworld chests hidden in the Belobog and Herta space station maps. I did the boxing event, the museum event, and then went back to the space station to do the little cat cake event.

The quest to be able to access the cat cake event sucks. ;___; I like the characters, and I like the odd Fontanian like mechanic they have for that quesr, but I didn't like the fights. I have no imaginary units apart from Harmony Trailblazer (thank goodness devs gave us this for free), and fighting the boss at the end of the questline was horrible. I like the little cat mooncake like things though. They're cute.

I've been putting the companion quests on hold because I've heard you can only do them once, and I've been hesitating to start them. I feel like those companion quests, I should do in one go, especially as I'm partial to getting sidetracked in games.

Speaking of getting sidetracked, I was oddly intrigued by the Divergent Universe thingy. I tried it just because I was curious. Idk how I managed to beat Difficulty Levels 1 and 2 with the team I have - especially because my team's levels are capped at 35. The boss enemies were a good strategy puzzle since I was relying heavily on blessings and team comps to carry me through. I will say, I found myself really liking the Argenti Boss Fight at the end of difficulty level 2 - even though he was like 20+ levels above me. For context, since my units are locked to level 35 in that Divergent Universe thing, the boss Argenti (who was at level 58 or 68, I can't remember), ended up being a very challenging fight. It was fun trying to toy around to see how I could best use the blessings I got to defeat him and not die. I ended up at like level 15 or something before I put it down because I was having a lot of fun. It was frustrating fun, like those strategy rpg games where you have to figure out the best way to do things with what you have. I did rage quit a few times though.

I also got to check out the upcoming enemies with the Divergent Universe thing, and see where the big holes are in my team. I also got to see what enemies I like and what I didn't. I'm so not looking forward to the Mara Struck Soldiers and those dang wolves that inflict countless debuffs on you. Not to mention, some of those elite enemy bosses. I'm not prepared. ;_;

But yeah, I might start Xianzhou pretty soon. I feel like I'm starting to hit a plateau on what I'm able to focus on right now. I can't do the end game content either, so I'm just twiddling my thumbs when it comes to Simulated Universe and Forgotten Hall. And since I'm waiting for my open off days to do the Companion Quests, I might slowly start doing the Xianzhou one in a few days or so. While I do that, I'll probably continue to farm. I might see how far I can get with my current Equilibrium level before the game demands that I ascend the Equilibrium level.

I don't think I'll be spending any money on upcoming units, but I did use some rewards from exploring to pull a bit on Ruan Mei, just to see if I got anything. I wouldn't mind if I did, and it's fine if I don't. I'm 65 pulls in, and no 5* yet. Lol

But yes, I really liked Belobog. I liked the world building a lot, and I thought a lot of the sound design was really cool. Like you mentioned in that final scene when the crew attends Bronya's Inauguration Ceremony thing, I thought the little touches were so nice. The processing on the voice actors when it came to the stuff like Cocolia's and Bronya's echoes, was such a really nice touch.

I think too, what helped me with Belobog's story is the fact that it's easy to follow. You get a really good handle on what you're getting yourself into and I find it to be a good introductory chapter. In contrast, I've already spoiled myself on most of the main Penacony plot points, but it seems very complicated to follow.

When I did the quest for the cat cake event one (i.e. The Trailblaze Continuance Quest for Herta Space Station), I had previously looked up summaries a while back so I could follow along, because I found Ratio to be intriguing as a character. But I can imagine that if I went in blind, I'd be so confused at what was going on.

I'll send ask updates as I go through Xianzhou's story. I'm sure it's gonna take me a while to get through it.

I hope you're having fun in Penacony and enjoying Jing Yuan running across the screen. May your pulls go well too, if you're planning on pulling anyone. ^_^

ough this is already around 1 month ago so i hope you've finished xianzhou, nonnie! <3 slow and steady! also i hope you got ruan mei because she's so good!

i've finished penacony by this point and i have to say in terms of favorite storylines, i'm torn between belobog or xianzhou... i managed to go to penacony and finish it without being spoiled (though one of my predictions turned out to be correct) and this is probably a hot take, but...

as a writer, i'm floored at the intricacies the game's writers put into penacony. as a developer, i enjoyed the way the gameplay was designed for some of the puzzles; i think they're neat.

as a player, personally, i didn't really like penacony. the execution feels too bogged down and overcomplicated. i've said this before in my rambles i think, but by chapter 2 i've honestly already lost interest in trying to follow the story. for me, the 'reveal' wasn't much of a 'reveal' because i had a hunch on where it's going... and as a non hi3 player, i couldn't care less about acheron's identity. it's just not for me, i think.

end-game content wise, i've decided to only pull for the characters i like so i don't have a super meta team... plus i'm bad at the combat anyway lmao i can usually only clear half or three-fouth of pure fiction / apocalyptic shadow / forgotten hall... i'd advise not to worry about divergent universe first since they're only useful for farming planar ornaments? but anyway yeah, the moment you get the expanded equations and stuff, it feels so good to just let the game run and farm for you lol

anyhow, i hope you're still around and saw this reply! so sorry it took me so long to reply. life happened and man. man. life sure is rough lol.

😅 🤡 ✨❌💔 from Fanfic Writer Emoji Ask?

AH! ANON, PLEASE! I CAN'T TAKE IT!

Just kidding, I'll write this point for point.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists? 😅

For stories, I used to write Dragon Ball Z and Vocaloid crossover fanfics in my teen years. One of them is still on my FanFiction.net.

I also used to have a Quotev (it's almost like an alternative Wattpad) where I wrote Hetalia lemons around that time too. Shocking, I know. Adult me is surprised to this day that younger me somehow got away with those, but thank the Gods I deleted my Quotev as soon as I got bored of it.

I remember making an RPG Maker game based on one of my original stories, The Last Human, before it went through a complete do-over and instead turned it into a webtoon. I really don't wanna go into detail on what happens, but I can't even play it knowing how frickin DARK the prologue section of the story is.

Regarding Into the Dark Night of the Soul...why the fuck did I write about elephant stampedes as an excuse for why the Conduit passed out between Chapter One and Two?!

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh? 🤡

I'll admit I have a habit of editing my story after they're published, but there was that scene I went back to fix after Kasta and Maxi finished sparring with Haoran, and Haoran compliments somebody's aggressiveness in the fight.

Funny story with that, I completely misinterpreted the scene from Libra of Soul while initially writing this part for the fic, I actually thought Haoran was complimenting the Conduit for their aggressiveness in the fight, when it was actually Maxi he was complimenting.

I looked back on it and thought, "Holy shit, I can actually do something with this."

Allow me to show this fantastic exchange:

When he [Haoran] recovered and pulled himself to his knees, he formed a "T" with his hands to suggest a time-out, "I yield! You win!" When that was done, Maxi extended a hand to pull Haoran onto his feet, "I must say, your aggressive style is most impressive." "Now hold on," my cheeks flushed red like a tomato at Haoran's comment, "I wouldn't necessarily call a series of sweep kicks "aggressive" per se. Well...actually, maybe it was a bit harsh considering it's mostly just me being sneaky and--" "You humble yourself, Kasta," the man beamed as he took his hand off me to wipe the dust off his shoulder, "But I was referring to Maxi with the aggressive fighting style." My cheeks burned hotter than hot with embarrassment as a lump in my throat formed upon realizing my mistake, "Oh. Heh, right. I knew that..."

Also, any scene that features Cornelius being a complete chaotic gremlin to Kasta and others, because 1. He's a frickin cat, cats are chaotic and unpredictable as hell and I love them for it, and 2. He keeps stealing Haoran's mooncakes, sometimes out of Kasta's hand or Haoran's travel bag.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

✨ Give you and your writing a compliment. Go on now. You know you deserve it. ✨

Uh...uh...uh...

*Wraps it into a blanket burrito and sits down beside it on the couch to watch movies with popcorn, pizza and soda.*

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

❌ What's a trope you will never write? ❌

Unless it's written in a way that wows me and has some realism to it, the trope that annoys me to hell and back is the cliche "they got married and lived happily ever after."

Like, that's it?

Am I supposed to believe it's all smooth sailings after probably going through some of the most traumatic stuff from the story that lives in their consciousness now? How do they adjust to their new life?

I could write horror stories about people who unironically expect this in their relationships.

Some of these questions I have are what make me appreciate the fact that Disney made sequels to their movies at some point.

Other than that, I'm not sure, I'll have to think on it.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart 💔

This is gonna get into Trigger Warning territory mentioning abuse of some kind, so beware.

But believe it or not, yes.

I'll admit, what I've written for Into the Dark Night of the Soul so far has been one hell of a rollercoaster ride.

The scene that was pretty gut-wrenching for me to write so far was the dream Kasta had of their mother attacking them for looking like a demon and not...like...her child.

I'm not gonna spoil what I plan to do with this later down the line, but I would say that yes, it's based on the relationship I had with my mother and how she raised me before she passed away in March of 2021.

Another thing that I've made that was utterly gut-wrenching to look back on was my original draft (the version I made an RPG Maker game out of) of The Last Human, an original story I mentioned got the major redo and is on Webtoon (I'm on hiatus).

It was the first mature story I've written when I was 15, before my Hetalia and Dragon Ball Z x Vocaloid crossover phases.

Not gonna go into detail with what happens, cos like I said before, it gets really dark. But the gist of the original draft is that a genocide happened and it's all the main character's villainous and creepy stepfather's fault. The thing that made it dark is that he attempted to do something horrible to her that scarred her for life.

The new draft (the one that's on Webtoons) I made has a similar premise, a genocide happened, but the main character was spared that fate when she was rescued as a baby.

I'm on hiatus from that story now, but I thought I brought up a bit of lore about myself.

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Looks like that's all the questions I've answered.

Thank you for the ask and I hope you have a nice day/night (depending on your timezone).

Quick Takes: Recent Romance Reads

It's that time of year again! The 5th annual Bookstore Romance Day is almost upon us. Saturday, August 19th will be full of great romances and equally great giveaways and deals, both from us and from our audiobook partners at Libro.fm. You can sign up for free virtual panels featuring a variety of topics and amazing romance authors, or stop by the store for fun displays of romances of all sorts. In case you want to get a head start on some great recommendations, a few of our staff have highlighted favorite recent romance reads below!

Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams

Recommended by Lori

Florist Annie Walker is the youngest, sweetest sister of four. Orphaned at an early age, Annie's grown up under the protective wing of her older brother and two older sisters, not to mention the close-knit (and nosy) population of Rome, Kentucky. But now Annie would really like to find "the one," settle down, and have a family. That would fill the emptiness that nothing else seems to satisfy, right? Except Annie's social anxiety makes dating a nightmare, and when her most recent date fakes an emergency to ditch her, Annie is ready to give it all up. Enter tattooed bodyguard Will Griffin, back in town to guard Annie's future sister-in-law, pop star Amelia. Will agrees to be Annie's dating coach, just to give her tips and practice with the things that seem so hard when she's in the middle of a date. Unsurprisingly, the more time Annie and Will spend together, the closer they become, and the more Annie wonders what she's going to do when Will's assignment with Amelia is over. Annie is so delightful as a character, trying to break out of the box her siblings, and everyone in the town have put her in -- and with Will she is able to explore aspects of her personality that she hasn't shown anyone else. Will, of course, has his own past to contend with, and his own hangups to overcome. I listened to the audiobook on this one, and the dual narration really brought the novel to life. As I say in my rec card, "the most adorable small-town romance."

With Love, From Cold World by Alicia Thompson

Recommended by Lillian

Even though I think there is too much talk about tropes these days, it does work as a quick way to sum up a story. With Love, From Cold World seems like it would be easy to categorize. It's an Enemies to Lovers, workplace romance. The author ticks a few classic Rom-Com boxes - stuck in the office overnight together, beach trip sunscreen application, the setting is an almost too-quirky Winter-themed amusement park in Florida called Cold World. But hold on - there's more going on here that just that. Every layer starting with something as simple as the cover and continuing on to the emotions of the main characters is handled with a little more thought and a little less cookie-cutter storytelling. Lauren is a buttoned-up accountant, but getting her to open up and take risks for friendship and love didn't feel simple. Asa is a career Cold World employee who is not living up to his potential, but actually maybe he's doing great right where he is. There were moments I laughed, got choked up, and—of course—s​wooned. I found their getting together to be surprisingly touching. Definitely recommend for the romance reader as well as the romance-curious.

Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee

Recommended by Becca

All Dylan Tang wants is to help keep his aunt's struggling Chinese takeout, Wok Warriors, afloat. He has a plan, too. Win the Mid-Autumn Festival mooncake competition—using his grandmother's unique blue mooncake recipe—and get Wok Warriors featured on a popular food television show. There are only two problems: 1) his aunt doesn't have the recipe, and 2) Theo Somers. After Dylan has an unfortunate run-in with Theo's best friend, Theo (wealthy, charming, and very attractive) tries to make it up to him by making a rather large donation to the takeout. Unable to refuse the needed money but not wanting to ​owe any favors, Dylan agrees to be Theo's fake date to a family wedding. But a weekend in the Hamptons surrounded by rich-people problems and having to contend with his growing attraction to Theo as they get to know each other might be more than he bargained for. Will sabotage, scandal, and stress get in the way of their budding relationship, or will Dylan learn the secret ingredients for both mooncakes and romance? Short, sweet, and a quick read, Fake Dates and Mooncakes was everything I wanted. Delicious food descriptions and a fake dating plot where they don't mess around too long saying, "Oh, it started as fake but now I have feelings for him and I can't act on them because we had an agreement!" (my least favorite part of the trope), took it over the top. Also, the cover art! I'm in love.

Long story short, next Saturday should be a lot of fun. Good vibes, good people, and good books. Come stop by and celebrate love and people who love love!

Know what? Maybe instead of venting to Sandy, Macaque ends up telling the hsi side of the story and why he chose to do the thing she did to Tang. In the actual canon there are only two people he really seemed to open up to when it came to his feelings regarding Wukong before his redemption, and that was MK which is understanable as he's Wukong's apprentice and soemone Macaque can see a bit of himself in, and for some godforsaken reason, Tang during the Lantern City Talent Show when he warns him about what happens to people who get too close to Wukong.

Absolutely anon, you're right.

In the case of Macaque having his own venting time - I could see it partly occuring during;

Briefly when He, Nezha, and Tang are locked up together in the East Sea Palace. Macaque gives Tang an idea of who Wukong had become during the war + what monster had escaped the Furnace, hence the reason they broke up just before the Journey. Nezha backs Macaque up on this - he saw/fought what had exited the Furnace that day.

With PIF. Despite her anger towards him, she'd be sympathetic to his reasoning for not wanting to but Wukong in danger. But she's able to explain more clearly to Mac why Wukong is so upset with him right now - i.e. he secretly feels that Mac sees him as weak/helpless/untrustworthy, and that Mac leaving to investigate LBD was proof of such opinions. Mac is mortified.

Properly gets to vent to Tang when the gang is in Lantern City, trying to find the last Ring (because who puts the *real* Ring of Light in some random Lantern hanging above the city?). HIm and Tang have some hotel cocktails (the lego sets had a cut Lotus Hotel area fro Lantern City that would have hosted the Ring) and bitch about their respective husbands. Here Macaque reveals his true fear of LBD/why she's more dangerous than the book says; spoilers it involved MK's egg and Wukong almost dying.

Macaque going to the moon and having some sibling talk with Chang'e. His big sis is very wise on matters of the heart and worrying about those you love. She might just sit both married monkeys down for some impromtu couple's counselling + mooncake binge.

Macaque also likely vents on accident to Yuebei and Luzhen as he's tending to them - something he genuinely missed in the months he'd been scouring heaven and hell. Only for the up-til-now-silent Luzhen to waddle up to Wukong and babble "bama sad. peas kiss."

riot forge games i want for my top 10 league champs

making a long ass post for funsies about what kind of riot forge games i want to see in the future revolving around the champs i like, most of this might feel like a shit post but thats kind of the point since i dont know anything about game design Ezreal i want ezreal to be the male version of lara croft, just the annoying gay version, give him a tomb raider styled game in shurima, ixtal or even targon and have him just be the narcissistic bisexual man he is, brownie points if he has multiple different ship endings cause that mf is shipped with everyone. Aphelios and Alune aphelios i have multiple ideas i kind of like, i like skooches idea of a fps shooter adventure game with skill trees and stuff, but i also have grown really attached to the idea of a Kid Icarus Uprising styled game with aphelios going on missions while alune is just casually talking to the aspects and granting aphelios his weapons much like Pit and Palutena. maybe have the 2nd act of the game be with Aphelios actually being voiced due to stuff in act 1 idk idk just spit balling. Sett ok ok ok so what if it was announced that sett was getting a game and it was called something like Sett's Fighting Simulator, where its literally just a fighting game with Sett, but you pick what kind of fighters you want sett to sponsor (idk if thats the right word) so he can earn money, obviously have sett do some of the fighting too. but you might be wondering what would you use this money for? well you could go the boring route and just have it be to upgrade Sett's fighting pit, but you could go the more wholesome route and have the 2nd hidden half of the game be a house decorating simulator for Sett's mom cause WHY NOT. basically do a fnaf pizza simulator but the opposite. Rengar Monster hunter, das it, just have like a monster hunter game with Rengar where you hunt monsters, thats all i got, also maybe you could give rengar outfitoptionsthataretotallynothornychargedokaybye Zoe my bf was thinking of like a gacha game for Zoe where she summons random beings around runeterra or the universe, i like the idea but i just wasnt sure what kind of gameplay it would have. I also really like the idea of cooking mama but its Zoe and she makes chocolate mooncakes and has her own delivary service (asol) and its just a cooking sim Yone my idea for Yone is a crave that i NEED fullfilled now, basically. the first part of the game is a point and click detective game, where as yone you try to figure out what kind of azakana your up against and who it is possessing, once figured out the game switches to a sekiro kind of fighting game where you have to slay the azakana. its simple but i really am attached to the concept. Rakan its really hard to make a game with rakan and not have xayah included (don't get me wrong i like xayah shes just not in my top 10 champs), so I decided for a niche idea thats kind of already been done with the Star Gaurdian event, but it would be a dating simulator where you play as Xayah dating Rakan (duh) and it takes place before things go to shit and they get corrupted. basically have all those pictures of xayah and rakan in Everything Goes On be cute little dates that we actually get to see and maybe have it end tragically idk idk i forget if rakan mf dies in the last event or not lol Yuumi how tf am i supposed to create a game about Yuumi, her lore is dull af and shes just a stupid cat. anyways i love her and her game would be like Talking Tom/Hey You Pikachu where you yell at your phone to get her attention and the microphone just doesnt work and she does the exact opposite thing you want her to do. Nunu and Willump song of nunu is already looking to be everything id want in a nunu gaming game, but if there is no willump hug options in song of nunu then make that its own game

Zeri SUBWAY SURFERS BUT ITS ZERI AND ITS ALSO A RHYTHM GAME OKAY BYE

Be a Child

These two cuties are certainly having fun like they're children!

The fig maker was inspired by these wonderful pictures from Zhehan:

The text reads (MTL) "Can you be more mature like me?"

And of course, there's Gong Jun on his yellow tricycle from his Go Fighting Season 8 appearance (being chased here by way too many people!).

Here's the entire episode 4 with English subs if you want to watch it, it's well worth it. If you haven't already, all of his episodes in Season 8 are absolutely delightful.

Terrible! This set arrived with Zhehan's tricycle broken! You can see where the main bar broke right off there. Luckily, Junjun's yellow trike was ok.

Here they are in all their ready-to-cycle glory!

We're doing the upside down and back around photos first this time, while the glue is drying on the poor broken tricycle.

Here they are, all bright and cheerful! I just realized I needed to click in Junjun's hands a bit more on the trike and push him down a bit so he's not quite as ready to pop a wheelie.

You can see here how his hands aren't quite snapped into the handlebars, which is why his feet are up like that. I did a good job on Zhehan's though (she says plaintively), which I'm happy about because I had to be really careful not to torque the glued trike and re-break it while trying to snap his hands onto the bars.

They're so cute! They balance remarkably well, which is some pretty great fig engineering. Especially considering how big Junjun's hat is!

Speaking of, that hat's a beast. I noticed just now that some of the print on Junjun's shirt has repeated itself, and I initially read it as Go Fig Fighting, because of course I did.

The wheels don't move on the tricycles, which is just as well, as I'd probably wake up to find the figs moving all over the place on my shelf as the house shifts here and there (the Western US is earthquake country, after all).

The fig maker went to town on Zhehan's spiky hair! I like it. I also like the details on the tricycles here, with the loop on the back of Zhehan's and just the little seat there for Junjun. I'm kind of glad he didn't have a back on his, he might have gotten hurt when he was hanging onto it for dear life on the show.

I continue to be charmed by Junjun's enormous hat here. Any fig of him with any of his sun hats from Go Fighting is just pure serotonin to me!

Hehehe, Zhehan's expression here is too funny! I like that particular maniac laugh some fig makers give him, it's fantastic. He's so expressive!

Huh, actually, Junjun's right hand looks pretty clicked in here to me. Maybe I pushed it down some when I was rotating them around for the pics.

Delightful! They really got Junjun's hair down for this - his hair was on the longer side for this since he was growing it out for Fox Spirit Matchmaker. You can also see they got his black sun sleeves extending down on his arms.

You can really see the texture in Zhehan's hair here from the top down angle.

And again here, and Junjun's enormous hat! Hehe.

Some really cute art of the two of them rolling down a grassy hill. It's the same here on the box art:

And look, you have a preview for the Mooncake figs! Rather than keep you in suspense now that you've seen those, I'll do those tomorrow. Come back and check them out, they're super cute!

Fig Count: 295
