N. A.: Finally, one of my favorite parts of this story is about to begin! As I said before, I've been planning the next scenes for a long time and couldn't wait to share them with you. Honestly, I think there should be more events during the party, but I decided that it would be too much and wouldn't add to the main plot, so I cut out some ideas. Maybe I'll post them as an extra chapter, but for now have this one ;)

If you sat down to write about all the encounters and surprises you had during that memorable night, you’d have to spend the first months of your marriage recollecting and categorizing your memories, for you were presented to many people, some of them known in your homeland at Midgard, others completely new to you. While your husband was mostly congratulated as the gods’ elder brother who finally had time to find love for himself, you were a novelty in each social circle, and everyone wanted a chance to see the newly created goddess from close.

Some of those new acquaintances, like the Solar Gods and their little conflict, had a deeper impact in you, and you had a special place in your heart for them.

One important friendship you began was with a goddess from your own pantheon, Athena. Months ago, Hermes has informed you that she has been absent from Valhalla for quite some time but hasn’t justified this attitude yet, but now she decided to attend the celebration and welcome her new pair.

You were curious when you saw that tall, elegant young woman with sober garments – including a head accessory that resembled a helmet and a necklace with a golden owl on its front – who approached you with no hesitation, and after the presentations you understood the sensation of depth and perspicacity you had when you looked into her brown eyes.

The first words exchanged between you were hers.

– This attentive look in your eyes, that has been watching my moves from far, and this undeniable, but respectful anxiety for our first contact… – she opened an enigmatic smile – It’s an avid reader we have before us, right?

You smiled back.

– You can say that, my Lady.

As always, Hades made the presentations.

– Y/n, this is Athena, goddess of Wisdom and Zeus’ daughter – and with a smile, – She has been willing to meet you since she heard about you.

– And this is not an exaggeration – Athena corroborated – After all the wonderful things my uncle said about you, Y/n, I wouldn’t miss the opportunity to see you with my own eyes.

You ignored the warmth on your cheeks and stared at your husband with an inquiring look.

– Does your uncle always talk this much, Athena-sama?

The goddess covered her mouth with both hands as she laughed at the said uncle’s surprised expression, then joined the game:

– Men are just like this, more than they’re willing to admit. You better get used to it.

Hades let out a loud sigh in an imitation of boredom, but you saw the diversion in his eyes.

– Won’t you show some respect for the old uncle who taught you how to read even in a day like this?

Athena crossed her arms.

– Absolutely not. Specially in a day like this.

There was laughter between you three, then the Goddess of Wisdom led her hands to her neck and took off the necklace from it. You were going to ask of she was about to do, but you didn’t have to: she offered the accessory to you with both hands, and after a second of hesitation, you accepted the gift.

– The life as a goddess and a queen is everything but easy, and there will be moments when you will think you will never succeed – Athena explained – In these moments, let the owl be your companion, and you will regain your courage and your wisdom. This is my blessing to you.

You spent a moment observing the animal’s big eyes, formed by a pair of black jewels, and a feeling of gratitude and comfort invaded your heart.

– I will surely do this – you raised your eyes to the goddess – Thank you for your blessing, Athena-sama.

– It’s good to hear that! – she replied with a satisfied smile – I hope our meetings in the future to be as pleasant as this one, young Y/n.

You nodded.

– Me too.

When Athena said goodbye to you and walked away, Hades helped you to put on the necklace. With all the new, grown hair you would never manage to do it without a mirror, and you said that to him.

– I think my challenges as goddess and queen started sooner than expected!

Hades agreed with a laugh. When he finished adjusting your hair, you turned to him and were going to ask how you looked, but gave up on it once you noticed the peculiar scene happening not so far from you.

Your sister Luna was chatting with a pair of cheerful nymphs you’ve met days ago. You couldn’t hear their voices from your spot, but you were able to observe and understand what was going on with precision: someone appeared suddenly behind Luna and made her startle; she turned to him and, though she didn’t know his identity, she wasn’t less impressed than the nymphs, for the intruder had the form of an attractive young man with fine clothing and green hair, who gave his attentions primarily to her.

You narrowed your eyes to the man, sensing something strange about him, but you only understood what it was when he made a swift gesture with his hand, making a flower appear between his fingers.

In a second, you were fuming.

– I can’t believe that! – you greeted your teeth – Not in my wedding!

Hades frowned, but soon understood everything.

– Well, well, if that’s not our friend Loki…

You were almost running to take your sister way from the Nordic god, but your husband held you in place.

– Hades, please, I…!

– Look – he interrupted you – Someone’s already there for Luna-san.

You looked again and saw the moment when, after your sister accepted the flower from Loki, your mother suddenly appeared behind him and poked his shoulder. He turned to her and, blushing at the serious expression on her face, he moved his hands and created a flower bouquet formed by the same species of the flower he gave to Luna, offering it to your mother. She held the flowers with hesitant hands, staring at them while trying to understand what was going on. Before she could do or say anything, a third person joined the group: your father, and he was as dissatisfied as your mother in the beginning, judging by his frown and his arms crossed over his chest. But Loki had a surprise for him too: smirking, he snapped his fingers and a flower crown became visible on your father’s head, to his confusion and to Luna and your mother’s diversion.

You stared at the group for a moment, then sighed and smiled at your own foolishness. Your family, you understood, would be alright taking care of each other; they’ve been really good at this for all the time you’ve lived with them, and nothing indicated that this would change. You gave up before you took the first step toward them.

However, you wouldn’t have much time to rest from the surprises of that night. You barely looked away from your relatives, you saw a small silhouette passing by you, coming from nowhere, so fast that when you were able to identify her, she was already five meters away: Ellie was running around as if playing a game, and before you could run after her, Helena passed as fast as the baby, calling her name.

– Ellie-chan! Stop running! – and, glancing at you with some embarrassment, – I’m sorry, y/n-san, she just escaped my grip!

You opened your mouth and closed it again as your sister followed the same direction as the baby, who kept running and provoking curious looks and laughter from the observers… until she bumped into someone’s leg and fell on the floor, sitting, and the entire room fell silent. Helena stopped immediately and didn’t approach Ellie’s spot once the person into whom she bumped turned and looked down at the little girl.

You held your breath and murmured to yourself.

– Ah… Poseidon-sama!

The Lord of the Seas, with his cold eyes glued on the child, spent a moment in silence, observing, as if he was trying to guess of kind of living being he had at his feet. Ellie – for your relief – didn’t make tricks, started crying nor did anything that could be considered petulance by someone like him: she just stood there, staring back at him and not understanding the situation she put herself into.

And, to everyone’s surprise, the god’s reaction was simple, and had nothing to do with discontentment or irritation: he bent down and took the baby by her armpits, with a delicacy you guessed that came from his inexperience with human beings: to him, if the adult ones looked so fragile that holding them the wrong way would cause permanent damage, even more their children. Ellie didn’t protest or showed fear: instead, she found it funny to be held like that and smiled at the strange man with ocean eyes.

The said man was clearly not used to have people who showed no fear in his presence, so he kept staring at the girl showing off her little teeth in an innocent smile, intrigued with her behavior… Until the shadow of a smile appeared on his lips as well.

– Are you always this audacious and brave, little person? – he adjusted his grip on her and allowed her to hold his finger.

Your heart calmed down as you looked around, while the faces of the guests softened at the scene. So, everything ended up well… Or so you thought.

You saw the moment when Ellie, with the typical childish curiosity, held Poseidon’s finger with more strength than usual and, before anyone could stop her, led it to her mouth, closing her little teeth around it as she used to do with her favorite treats.

You noticed the god’s eyes widening and a wave of gasps spreading across the room; you covered your mouth with both hands and your husband put his palm over his face.

After the first scare, Poseidon managed to free his finger from your niece and stared at his own skin, left reddish and wet. Again he looked at the girl, who still had that unsuspecting look in her little eyes, and the first thing he said in response would have provoked intense laughter if it was someone else in his place:

– Such a strong bite for a tiny little thing... Almost like a baby shark.

***

The next minutes of the party followed with no surprises, that is, nothing that resembled the incident involving Ellie and your brother-in-law, with you and Hades receiving congratulations and blessings from people from many pantheons and lands. Though you couldn’t remember all their names, you certainly would remember their kindness and receptiveness. However, not even this was enough to keep you in the room for more than those few hours.

It happened that, as time passed, the sensations that started right after you consumed the ambrosia continued to develop, and you noticed a strange tiredness taking over your limbs and your senses, leading you to a state of hyperstimulation, making the lights, colors, smells and sounds around you unbearable.

After saying goodbye to another group of gods, you turned to Hades and told him you couldn’t stay on your feet for much longer.

– I’m sensing the beginning of a headache, and I don’t think it will be a light one – you whispered to him – It will get worse if I stay here for too long.

He passed his hand on your hair, not disguising his worry.

– It must be another effect of the ambrosia. If this is the case, I’ll take you to our room now.

He closed his mouth when his brothers joined you: Zeus, with his calm demeanor and his hands on his back, Adamas with a goblet in hands and Poseidon, still with Ellie in his arms; now the baby was sleeping with her head on his shoulder.

�� If you’re feeling a bit tired, it is, in fact, because of the ambrosia – Zeus, who overheard your conversation, told you – Your body is still mortal, thus sensitive, so that adapting to such changes is hard. You should really take some rest now.

– That’s what I’m intend to do – you replied – Thank you for preoccupation, Zeus-sama.

The chatting was interrupted by Adamas’ laugh.

– It’s always funny to observe these formalities toward my little brother – he approached and messed your hair on a spot away from your crown, – Still haven’t time to tell you that, but welcome to the family, y/n-chan.

You smiled with sympathy.

– Thank you, Adamas-sama.

You turned to Poseidon, who has been silent since the start. The memory of his abrupt encounter with Ellie made your cheeks warm as you observed her snoring on his lap, but you approached him with confidence.

– I apologize for the incident involving my niece, Poseidon-sama – you stretched your arms to her – I will take her back to my family, so she won’t be causing you more distress.

– Of course – he nodded and gave the child to you; she moved a bit when you held her, but didn’t wake up.

Finally, you tuned to your husband and told him you were going to leave Ellie with your parents. He agreed and replied that he would be waiting in the company of his brothers.

That was the last time you spoke with your family that night. You approached your parents and your mother took the initiative of holding the baby. She raised her eyes to your face and frowned.

– You’re certainly as beautiful as ever with your new appearance, my child – she passed her hand on your face – But you seem a bit tired.

– I am – you smiled – I’m leaving the party to take a rest. Zeus-sama explained that it’s one of the effects of the ambrosia, so it’s the best for me now.

– And I agree with him – your father approached, putting his hand on your shoulder. He still had Loki’s crown on his head and was now holding the bouquet.

You opened your arms and hugged them at the same time, involving the baby between you, then walked back to Hades after saying goodbye to them.

***

Because of the growing tiredness on your legs and the increase of your headache, the way from the room where the party was happening to the private chambers where your honeymoon should start seemed longer than you remembered it. There was a moment when you held your husband’s arm and told him you couldn’t go any farther.

– My body feels heavier at each step – you murmured – I guess I’m going to pass out…

Hades took you in his arms the moment when your feet failed you, stopping you from falling on the corridor.

– Guess the party was too much for you, little one – he whispered to you – Sorry for not taking you away before.

You smiled.

– And awakening the wrath of my new pairs so soon with this rudeness? No, I pass.

You didn’t remember if anything more was said between you or if you really passed out, but you only opened your eyes again when you heard a knob being turned and the door of your room was opened.

Hades crossed the living room, where you spotted candle lights on each corner, and took you to the bed area. Moving the sheets away, he left you on the right side of the bed and went to the balcony’s doors, opening them to let the fresh air and the soft light of outside in. When he came back to you, you were sitting on the bed, trying to take off your shoes.

– Allow me – he sat on your side and, without waiting for a response, put your feet on his lap and started to untie the straps of your shoes.

You sighed.

– The numbness is leaving, but I’m still tired – you passed a hand on your face, not worried about blurry your makeup – And this headache is increasing…

Hades bent down and left your shoes on the floor beside the bed.

– Come here – and, when you took off your feet from his lap and did as he said, – Untying your hair will release you from part of the discomfort.

He took off your crown and hairpin, then started to untangle the strands. You stood in silence as his fingers ran through your scalp, and realized you were feeling asleep; when you noticed, you were already leaning on your husband’s shoulder. He passed his arms around you and kissed your hair.

– I’m going to call Hermes and tell him to send Asclepius to see you – he said.

– The god of Medicine?

– Yes. He has seen cases like yours before, including Psique and Hercules – he explained – He will help you to get through the transformation.

You made a “hmmm” and sighed.

– I think I’m going to take a bath while he doesn’t arrive.

– Do you need help?

You shivered. Of course, you knew that showing yourself unclothed before your husband would become part of your private routine, but you haven’t thought too much about it, so the naturalness with which he asked that sounded sudden, to say the least.

– No… No, thank you.

When you were able to stand again, Hades left to call Hermes and you headed to the bathroom to prepare everything.

***

Contrary to what you imagined, taking a bath without help in those conditions wasn’t that hard. Your clothes were light and you were already on barefoot, so that the only struggle was to organize all the stuff you’d need. Besides, there was a bathtub large enough for you to stretch your legs and carved at a reasonable distance from to the wall, so you could rest your head on its border and leave all those inches of hair out.

Your right foot touched the warm water and a shiver was sent through your entire body. You passed your arms around yourself, finding the sensation strange: you weren’t that cold, right?

Well, whatever.

You were too tired to deliberate. You entered the water and stood there for the longest time possible.

***

You were already back on the bedroom, took your new side of the bed, wearing a night gown that didn’t reveal too much under a robe that you wrapped tight around your waist to wait for the doctor – that is, the Lord of all them – to see you. Hades hasn’t still come back when you left the bath and the chambers were too quiet, except for the sound of the evening birds out there and the ruffling grass touched by the wind.

You frowned.

I’m sure that they’re are at a good distance from our place. It’s funny that I’m able to hear them from here.

And even more funny was that you had the impression that those soft sounds were increasing your headache. You pressed your fingers against your temples. Could it be that the ambrosia was causing all of this?

If so, how long must I endure these symptoms? I only hope that Asclepius-sama answers my questions. That would surely make me less anxious.

You were thinking of this when you heard the noise of a door opening and footsteps approaching the room. You straightened up on the bed and, a moment later, Hades entered, accompanied by a young man… whom you already knew.

– Ah! Apollo-sama? – and, frowning, – You’re a bit different from earlier…

In fact, the visitor was like a living shadow of Apollo, but as your eyes got used to his figure, you were able to spot crucial differences: instead of the extravagant garment and golden jewelry, this young man wore nothing but a common, white tunic with a slit on each side, and a pair of leather sandals which straps reached the spot under his jerks; around his waist, a blue stripe of the same fabric, and no accessories were seen, except a satin stripe tying his long hair, which was of a darker shade than Apollo’s, and the same could be said about his eyes. On his right hand, he carried a sort of cane in the form of a column, with a serpent’s body wrapped around it, and over his shoulder there was a large bag, similar to the one of a traveler.

The young man, you also noticed, seemed to have the exact opposite of Apollo’s expansive personality and mannerism.

In the middle of this, Hades laughed when he heard your words.

– It never gets boring – and, turning to the visitor, – But I bet it ceased to be funny for you long ago, right?

The man carried a gentle smile on his face.

– It used to bother me in the past, but now I really don’t care much, Hades-sama – he commented with a low, composed voice – After all, my father is known for his presentable looks. So being mistaken for him is rather a compliment.

That conversation left you even more confused.

– I don’t understand – you alternated your look between your husband and the other man – You are Apollo-sama’s son?

– Yes. I am Asclepius, God of Medicine – the man nodded in respect – It’s been a while since I’ve met a newly formed goddess, so it’s an honor to meet you, y/n from Midgard.

I'll try to focus on the differences and what I had forgotten to include in yesterday's report.

The band's outfit were generally not only completely different from yesterday, but also from different references entirely, at least from what I could see. Takumi had his clothes from the MOAN music video, but Yuchi appeared to have bare shoulders with the partial long sleeves, so no trace of the puffy material that hid his skin in the previous photoshoots. No drooping pane of fabric behind his shoulders like yesterday, I think. UtA was definitely wearing something more square and formal. It reminded me of some of Japan's student uniforms, and he looked especially like a "bad boy" while wearing his guitar upside down during aftermath to focus on playing the violin-like instrument. His long hair was also styled completely toward his right in a vast mane. Mika may have been wearing the same black suit. As for Kyo, his outfit seemed like it was two pieces linked at the front of the abdomen, but there was definitely a large band of fabric missing which exposed his skin above his waist. He also had a long skirt with many vertical folds, and his hair and makeup were the same as yesterday. But what was most striking about his look was the sheer amount of pearl necklaces he had aroumd his neck and resting on his shoulders. It looked heavy as hell. Maybe it was literally the accessory he wore for Dir en grey's Ochita koto no aru sora PV? And hint for ranuunculus: it looked most badass overall when Kyo was bathed in red on his head and over his shoulders while white illuminated most of the lower portion of the necklaces.

Right away, it was clear that the mood for today's concert was different: Houmonsha X started and once again, very epic. I noted that Kyo dances tip-toeing widely left and right near the end of the song, while the music sounds like crawling and buzzing bugs, and he does this on a floor illuminated by collapsing diamonds, so it really gives the impression that he purposely plays along at trying to avoid stepping on the lights. Oh and at the very beggining of that song, Kyo crouched and swished his hips side to side, literally dusting off the floor. This time, Kyo sang the "Are those eyes scary? How are they scary?" in the demented way.

I don't know if I just didn't remember or if it changed, which will be a recurring theme in this report, but Gloss had not only the blinking alternating hanging lights, but big flashes of purple were projected from around Takumi's distance from the edge of the stage. Overall, it was a very emotional, but powerful and beautiful song that followed Houmonsha X's vibe well.

The Hole started next and my prayers for a different setlist were answered! It was so cool. The song starts with a video on screen with opaque red everywhere except one large hole left untouched, where Kyo stands. The hole grows progressively larger, in a corrupted way. It's so cool later when Kyo swiftly rotates from his left side to his right side, vice versa, along with the music, drawing a wide circle each time, and I think he gestured considering those options at some point.

Mosaic Shoujo! Another change from yesterday. Kyo waved his arm up and down wildly at us during "Ano hito janakyaya", only to retrieve his arm toward himself when wondering "How many more times?" Quite sure it was during this song that I noticed what move Kyo does to drop his knees repeatedly like in that Candis prologue that I gifed from the footage on Erosio. While keeping his toes on the same spot, he rotates his heels outward, like a lot of women do in Japan, which causes a drop and the motion has to be repeated to maintain balance anyway. Anyway, overall a very feminine demeanor.

Candis followed and I had at least thought of bringing my penlights this time. I noticed that on screen, dots of light made up a huge fake disco ball, at the beginning, but maybe I just missed that detail yesterday.

The medley of pop songs continued but it was a lot more seamless, less foreboding than that sequence had been yesterday. There was hope for less sorrow later, somehow.

Valentina was still just as perfect~

MOAN, why do you not have a penlight yet? Anyway, it seemed even cooler to watch Kyo make the song's gestures (pump up the ceiling, circle a finger around to come back to you; rinse and repeat but you never get bored of it!) while wearing that excessive layer of pearl necklaces.

Kuchi ni ringo, I forgot to mention yesterday that he kind of screeches the janai in: "Sono makka na iro janai" instead of singing it more with despair like in the studio recording. Confirmed that this is the song where the first floor is covered by an opaque layer of blue light. At the end, it's odd because while the lyrics say: "Ah I want a womb", Kyo moves the diamond shape formed by his fingers ouward in different directions along with the repetition of "hoshii, hoshii, hoshii", as though he in fact wanted to know who wanted it.

aftermath came and I definitely focused on UtA's badass pose with his right leg extended backward while he leans forwarf to play the violin-like instrument, allowing the guitar that he rolled to his back to resr on his leg.

The part during the session took place again today but the man appeared more assured now and was wearing a plain black long-sleeved shirt. Kyo also looked less stiff. He rested his left leg on his right one and I can't remember how his hands were positioned, maybe just on his lap, but that too was more casual than yesterday. Also, either I didn't notice because I was looking through binoculars then, but a zoomed-in projection of that scene plus Kyo's following improv for the instrumental session was played on screen. Maybe the video experienced trouble yesterday and only began working later?

For some reason, Rongai na ikimono toshite seemed to have a whole lot more projections than I remember it having yesterday. Not sure if they could whip up a new video in less than 24 hours. It involved not just fractals, but like an evolving kaleidoscope of structures like what you'd find in complex metallic beam structures on bridges. It helped to enhance the song's menacing and mysterious aura. And big, bright white lights get flashed toward us in time with the intense moments throughout the song.

Kawattekuremasen deshou ka? was the song that appeased my growing concern that I had misremembered or totally forgotten stuff from yesterday hah. The video played during this song was totally different. It features only large bubbles, like soap bubbles, of various colours. Each bubble was so large that it encompassed the entire band. In the first "Naze watashi dake honto no ai o shiranai?", I don't know if something was mispronounced or if I was too distracted, but it didn't sound like "honto no ai o", more like it could have been aibito? But the second one was sang as per the lyrics, so I put that behind.

Scarlet was the same as yesterday, with its imposing "I want you to kiss me" & "I want love" being the only two lyrics projected on screen. Maybe it's during that song's "Let's make the sound of love as I think of you" that Kyo slides a hand between his legs?

Tada, mada, watashi. appeared as much as a classic as yesterday. I think it's due to the bright lights being projected on us and the screen otherwise displaying very little, mostly just small lyrics in English at the bottom and shimmering white borders there and at the top of the screen, which may have been done with the intention of giving us the impression that the PV is being recorded live, that we're witnessing this historic moment.

There's a word shown vertically in red in the couple of seconds of suspense before the chorus. It's just hiragana but somehow I haven't been able to catch it yet! It might be "oyasumi"?

After a short break, Hakudaku started and I knew that the end was already upon us, too soon. Uso began without a single second of interruption too. And as the tradition goes, Kokyuu was played after those. There's always a very long pause before it begins, as though someone needs to regain their composure or something.

Yesterday, I must have used the binoculars at this point too much, but I noticed that way above his head, the video projected involved scenes of isolation. For example, a lone strawberry shortcake, clearly to celebrate something, first left unattended on a table. Then the chair and the table are empty. A woman appears, followed by an older version of herself. She's beautiful, but nobody else shows up around her. The cake is cut and consumed, in part.

Kyo sang the ending, and I was expecting him to leave like yesterday, a wet kind of dry after uttering the softest: "Kanashimi wa owaranai dare no tame?", but he surprisingly held onto his mic stand, although stepping out of the pink LED line to the side a bit. Seconds of silence until... Margaret started! Some mercy. That song, although its lyrics are sad, counted as an "un deux" in this context thanks to its uplifting melody.

The credits were rolled on screen while the band performed.

Kyo left before the song's last few notes were played, essentially immediately after the last lyrics. We were less shy to start clapping after Margaret was properly finished, compared to yesterday at the end of Kokyuu. It was the instrumental of Zephyr that was played tonight as the other members left the stage. Mika peeked at us from atop his drums but I don't think he waved like he did yesterday, so it might have been a prompt to wake us up and start clapping, yesterday hah.

Three times during the concert, there was a weird, faint sound like "woaaan" at the end of songs, which was super obvious because we were all quiet. I didn't hear that at all yesterday. Maybe it seemed to coincide witn Takumi dragging his chair toward his keyboard to adjust his distance from it?

So far: man, I've rarely heard bass and drums hammer at our very molecules this much. Every single one of Yuchi's notes is a tidal wave crushing straight through us.

Now, which of the two setlists, or a secret third one, will the 20th have?

fem jeff x ej, yes they're dating your honor.

Hello! if you've been here you probably remember me saying tested concept designs for fem jeff (jennifer) and EJ, ( jacquline) this is what i came up with

Jennifer has strabismus, but trust me, she can still see and aim very, very well. she's overly erratic and aggressive. Cocky and conceited, i can describe her as overactive including in her tendency to yap a lot which EJ doesn't mind.

Jen prefers to impulsively kill others, not being strategic as it takes away from the purpose of killing in her eyes, she keeps three blades on her. A large hunting knife and two daggers in case of emergencies.

Jen typically targets unsuspecting couples or teenagers. she doesn't enjoy killing kids at all, but maybe a pet instead.

However,

Jaq is like a still lake, with a gator just below the surface. Rarely making others known of her presence until its perfect timing.

Jacquline is more on the hunting side, she can't see very well so she relies on her sense of smell, taste, and hearing. she is considered a top predator in the food chain next to something like the Rake.

Her targets are anything she can feast on, including other monsters or things larger than herself.

She prefers other predatory creatures. Often viewing them as trophies that she collects.

*Coughs*

"IM COLDER THAN A LION WITH NO HAIR, IF YOU EVER SEE ME FIGHTING IN A FOREST WITH A GRIZZLY BEAR-HELP THE BEAR! CAUSE THAT BITCH GON NEED IT."

Yeah, that's Jaqculine.

The two of them together is a weird mix, Jen climbs and messes around with Jaq a lot, expecting a reaction of some sort but nothing occurs other than a gentle kiss by Jaq. Jen appreciates this as she's rather violent and tends to only feel remotely calm around Jaq.

Jaq is very territorial of Jen, she is more of the jealous and possessive one. Often she would rid of anyone she felt was either a genuine threat to Jen, or trying to take her away from her. Jen acts like she isn't aware to this, often playing coy, and sometimes places others in that position knowing the result of what's to come. including the aftermath for herself. (iykyk.)

As far as builds and appearances go, Jen is skinty, short, and very flexible she can contort her body in odd ways, and Jaq likes this, for reasons. Anyway! Jen has long thick hair which is as you can tell red and black. she likes tight fit clothing and punk accessories. she could be considered the more flashier type than her girlfriend.

Jaq is muscular with a large frame, her hands are claws and built for hunting, and despite her tall, sturdy figure, she is incredibly fast and quick on her feet. she wears a mask decorated with black lashes that forms two distinct teardrops, her mask also contains two open holes on the area for the septum piercing.

She likes to wear tight and loose fitting clothing, compression shirts and sweats or cargos is her choice of appearance.

it is rare when she is seen without her mask, even for Jen. Jen is more use to her lips and some of her nose.

Jaq has double fangs, and a long tongue, her jaws can stretch open and she is capable of eating a human whole.

Anyway, i'll probably share more as time goes on, i'd consider this the start of an AU if anything. lol

tell me what you think? if you're seeing this!

I continue to play around with the Bing Image Generator, asking it to make wrestling images for me. After all, what good is AI (or any technology really) if we can't use it for wrestleporn.

So I asked it to draw "two tag team wrestlers in matching clothing standing over one opponent." It only created one image this time -- see above. The two partners are not standing as I requested, they're kneeling, but I think it got the gist of what I was asking for. The strangest thing is the kneeling wrestler on our right actually has three legs! But I'm kind of into that -- I'd love to see the three-legged wrestler applying a Leg Grapevine!

Next, I decided to get very specific by asking for "two tag team wrestlers in red trunks holding one opponent in white trunks in a corner of the ring." This one hit the jackpot with three really nice drawings:

I mean, just look at how beautiful these guys are -- I didn't even specify that I wanted them to be handsome studs, but the AI just gave me that as a bonus! I'd love to wrestle any of these studs if they actually existed. And those beautiful laced up red boots - a fantastic gear choice I didn't even need to ask for.

Here is a remarkably homo-erotic version of my request produced by the Generator. Two gorgeous twins with moppy haircuts are pulling apart their helpless victim's legs, putting his crotch on display. This is straight out of a BG East video! The AI Machine must be sourcing the Underground video sites for its database of wrestling moves.

And how gay can you get?? When I said "holding" their opponent, I didn't really mean a loving embrace, but I'll take it! I'm impressed that the Image Generator invariably includes all the wrestling gear accessories without me needing to ask for every detail: the wrist tape, the knee pads, the boots.

Overall, I'm very pleased with my first experiment in AI image generation and the quality of the resulting images. Maybe I can create an entire match story with a series of holds, one big Heel utterly squashing a jobber...

Now taking a look at the Mezco One:12 Green Goblin, I've been VERY excited for this to release. Green Goblin's my favorite Marvel villain, and maybe even my favorite villain in general, so I've been wanting a higher quality figure of him for awhile now. The previous Legends ones, as much as I've loved them before, are showing their flaws more and more. Does this live up to the personal hype I was feeling?

For the most part, yes! It definitely turned out much nicer than the promo pics would lead you to believe. I knew that was gonna be the case, though. There's a lot to talk about here. So I'll just try to quickly list off the things I like. Great headsculpts, all of them comic accurate and full of personality. Very good articulation, all of it functions well with only a minor quibble or two I'll mention later. The costume is fantastic, the raised scales look very nice. I wasn't sure if they'd be able to pull that off. Accessories are all fantastic, love that they included some of the Goblin's more off kilter weapons like the frog and the ghost asphyxiation grenade. Glider is also really good.

Now, for the negatives. Heads seem a little big, unmasked ones especially feel kinda large. Not a huge deal, though. The calm Norman Osborn head is a bit off. I think the lips are too pouty. Ab crunch isn't the best, but being buried beneath two layers of cloth will do that so minor quibble. You still get a good amount of range. Wish the glider had support for a ball jointed stand like the Retro ML one. Only thing that one has over this Mezco figure.

Overall, I'm pumped to have this. Hasbro's slacking when it comes to giving us a proper Green Goblin and I'm honestly having a hard time seeing a MAFEX one come to fruition so this seemed like the best option for the foreseeable future. Glad I went for it. Wouldn't mind seeing a Hobgoblin next. Knowing Mezco, we might get one within the next decade. Maybe.

Okay, here go, finally posting up my HBNG...

Presenting Prince Magnus of Lust! Fizz and Ozzie's eldest and only son, he was quite the surprise for the two as they pretty sure Fizz couldn't have kids. But after a little bit of angst after finding out they were expecting they were whole heartedly ready to take on the challenge of parenthood.

Now Magnus himself is a flirty and fun-loving 19 year-old and often gives off the vibe that he's a himbo and party boy but in truth he isn't...not fully at least. He can be a bit of a himbo at times but often it's merely a way to make other underestimate him. He is surprisingly observant and very protective of his family, especially of his best friend and baby sister. When pushed to his limits he displays the temper he got from Ozzie and his hair will often burst into flame. Often though he's pretty chill and loves to make people laugh with a well timed joke. Loves to and very adept at impressions and when truly nervous he tells terrible knock-knock jokes. A fashion lover like his parents, his closet is full of the latest clothes and accessories. Is a heavy sleeper and loves to sleep in. Is also extremely cuddly with family and his personal pet is a quadpod queef he rescued he named Duchess (two of her six legs had to be amputated). Also is very much into boys and doesn't hide it.

Powers include lust fire manipulation, transformation (Human disguise, Incubus disguise), sensing and absorbing lust and a full demon form.

He's also managed to walk in on his parents multiple times throughout his life and is never actually bothered by it. The first time it happened he blinked a few times before asking if his could visit his bestie. At this point he just ignores them if ha catches them in the act (especially if it's late at night in the kitchen)

Best Friend: Minnie Knowlastname.

I can't tell how excited I am to finally intro my precious Fizzmodeus boy (his sister is to follow), I've had many ideas with him and the rest of my next gen flowing in my head for months. I'm probably forgetting things that I want to say but maybe I'll remember in another post XD

#Helluva Boss #HB #Helluva Boss OC #Fizzmodeus #Fizzmodeus Fanchild #Helluva Next Gen #Magnus Prince of Lust #Original Character #Fankid #fizzarozzie #It's one of my OCs! I finally posted them!#HBNG

You, answering my asks while sleep deprived: 👁👄👁

Me, sending asks, depriving myself of sleep: 👁👄👁

You suggesting the feather accessories made me think about Avian Hybrids!CoraLaw. Or, well, a Wings!AU.

- Cora has black swan wings and Doffy has flamingo wings (the only time I'll ever include this dude in my AUs. I avoid this mf cuz I'm starting to like him 😭). Idk what to give Law lmao–

- Cora's wings are huge. Like, 260cm/8'6ft. They're also waterproof, he uses them to cover the people from the rain.

- Law's wings are sensitive, so he doesn't like people touching them unless he gives them permission and consent to do so. Cora is an exception tho, Law even reaches out himself so Cora would touch them (No, Bepo isn't jealous. Of course he isn't.. whaaaat. He's totally okay with sharing his pseudo blanket with Cora..!!! That's a lie. Bepo is sulking in the corner while listening to Uta's songs).

- When it's Cora's time to moult in the summer, Law usually takes him flying when he wants/needs to. It's Law's favourite part of every summer, he gets to have Cora in his arms as he takes them flying. Law also helps toss out the old feathers, but some of them are gonna be used and turn into coats for the both of them.

- As you mentioned, feather accessories! I love those omg, thank you for suggesting them!! Cora has a single earring with Law's feather dangling from it. Law has a feather of Cora's attached to Kikoku and another as an earring.

- Law's wings are warmer than Cora's (that's the real reason why Bepo likes sleeping next to Law, trust me /j), so Cora likes to be the little spoon most of the time, just so he could feel Law's warm wings engulf him (they rarely spoon each other, they look like the type to sleep with their backs flat on the mattress). Law's wings are 210cm/6'10 ft, taller than himself when tucked in (Yes I did use the height comparison website on Google lmao).

(...Nah I'm not gonna give their wings width measurements, I'm too lazy for that and it's 5am)

- And because Cora's wings are huge, it makes him hard to stay balanced and upright. Falling means he starts panicking, panicking means his wings starts flailing, his wings flailing means knocking off whatever it is near him and slapping people in the face lol. He tries to tuck them in as close as possible.

I might expand this because I love it sm, but right now I ran out of ideas. You could add your own btw! My AUs are everyone's AUs xD. Enjoy and have a great day/night!

-S

!!!!! I miss Wing!AUs... They're so nostalgic...

(okay also total sidenote, I have the same thing with Doffy. I went from thinking he seemed cool when he was first introduced to being Big Mad at the sight of him, with him killing Cora and. all that. But I've grudgingly come back around to?? strangely liking him?? I just like when villains have a sense of style and totally commit to being completely unhinged... I'm still glad he got got, but he is a fun character. 😂)

I wish I knew more Bird Facts so I could give a suggestion for Law... all I can think of right now is some kind of hawk... ooo or maybe a vulture?

God, Law still being such a SIMP with his wings 😂 and letting Cora get near them.... (hahaha I see those Bepo cameos... man if I wasn't so down bad for Cora I would throw in more with the law/bepo crew. full respect there). Also Law putting a feather on Kikoku!!!!! Ohhhh the mental image of that is so good.... Like, Law subtly showing that Cora is part of the reason he fights....

Ahhh also thinking about Cora being so used to trying to make his wings as small as possible and not inconvenience anyone with them, but one time Law makes a point to take them somewhere with a wide, open space and ask to see them... Or Cora has to fly them somewhere for the first time while running from Marines/some group that's not worth staying and fighting. And Law is just!!! awed!! at the sight of them!!! I know clumsiness is part of Cora's charm, but based on that mission where he stole the op-op fruit, we know he can be really coordinated and stealthy when needed. So, like, when he finally makes full use of his wings, maybe he's one of the fastest/swiftest flyers Law has seen.

#sneaking into the tags to mention #i've seen/read.... a few dofucora/dofucoralaw fics n art #once again i'm picky tho and only like it when doffy is more like #well #more of a 'Rocinante it's you and me against the world don't you see' kind of guy #still an egomaniac but an egomaniac who cares about his brother #and just thinks his dear soft-hearted brother has lost his way for a bit and needs to be guided back #ohhhh and don't get me started on law being SO territorial in that scenario #hahahahah anyway #lawcora #headcanons

New Arrival

Treasure was grateful that it didn't take much effort on her part for Yuri to realize something wasn't right.

Yuri quickly took all her fancy accessories off, and put her familiar, comfortable halter back on her. That made a big difference. The flower crown was pretty, but it had been starting to make her ears itch. Now that she'd felt the first nagging little pain in her belly and really understood what was happening, she was suddenly not in the mood to be tolerant of any unnecessary distractions like an itchy ear.

Treasure: I think it's time. We need to go home. It might be a while before the foal comes, but I don't want to experience any part of this out here in the open.

Yuri: Come on. Let's get you home and settled in your stall. It's going to be a long day for you, but don't worry. It'll be okay. I'll make sure you have everything you need.

It did indeed turn out to be a long day. Early morning dragged into late afternoon, and from Treasure's point of view, things just kept getting worse. She thought Yuri would be with her constantly, but he left at random intervals to do whatever it was that humans did inside their houses. He always came back again, but that was not the point. She was suffering and she hated being alone for even two seconds.

Storm was conspicuously absent, which she decided really didn't surprise her. Then again, maybe it was in his best interests not to be anywhere near her, as there seemed to be a direct correlation between her level of pain and her feelings toward Storm. The more it hurt, the more she felt she wanted to leave hoofprints on his forehead the next time she saw him.

Treasure: STORM!!! You did this to me! This is all your fault!

Yuri returned just in time. Treasure had reached a point where she was certain she wouldn't survive this ordeal, and she needed him to reassure her.

Yuri: You're doing brilliantly, Treasure. You're so strong, and you're such a brave girl. I don't think it'll be much longer. You'll get to see your beautiful baby soon.

Spot took a break from his daily session of rolling in trash to sneak in and offer some encouragement as well. Treasure never imagined that she'd welcome the presence of the stinky little goat, but she had to admit she was glad he was there. Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.

Just as the sun was beginning to set, Treasure gave birth to a handsome little colt.

Yuri: Treasure, you did it! Look at him. He's perfect.

Both Treasure and the colt were up and standing on wobbly legs, exhausted but proud, when Storm finally made his appearance with Cookie in tow.

Yuri: Storm, look at your baby. Isn't he cute? He has your eyes.

Storm: It... it's a boy?

Treasure: You took your time getting here.

Storm: Did you actually want me here?

Treasure: I did... but I didn't? I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said it like that. I'm glad you're here now.

Storm: It's okay. I deserved it. I should've been here. Besides, look what you just did. You can get away with saying whatever you want after accomplishing that, as far as I'm concerned.

Treasure: Thank you.

Storm: I should be thanking you. I mean, like... I'm really proud of you. And just look at our awesome boy. Storm Jr.

Treasure: No. We are absolutely not naming him that.

Storm: What? Why not?

Treasure: Because he's not just a copy of you. He's a combination of both of us, and he's his own unique horse. He deserves the best of everything in life, and that includes discovering who he is and being allowed to find his own way. How's he going to do that if he thinks he has to live up to your name?

Storm: Oh. I never thought of it like that. What are we going to name him, then?

Treasure: I'm too tired to think about that right now.

Storm: Maybe we can just let the humans name him. They gave us pretty great names, so I trust them.

Treasure: *nodding* Yes, I'm fine with that. I'm going to try to sleep for a while now. I'll bring our son out to meet everyone tomorrow.

Storm: I'm probably not gonna be able to sleep all night! I can hardly wait for tomorrow, so we can show him off.

Treasure: *amused* So you can show off, you mean?

Storm: Well, yeah. That too.

Treasure: Try not to stay awake all night. That'll really take the shine off all the strutting around you're going to be doing tomorrow.

Storm: Right. Gotta get my beauty sleep. Unlike you, 'cause you don't need sleep to make you beautiful. You're the most beautiful horse on the planet, and maybe in the whole universe. But like, you still need to sleep. You should definitely get as much rest as you can, and—

Treasure: Storm.

Storm: Uh... yeah?

Treasure: Good night.

For once, Storm managed to take the hint. Treasure loved him, but he could be a bit too much at times, and all she wanted right now was some peace and quiet. She wanted time to bond with her baby and recover some of her strength.

Tomorrow would be a fresh new day, in which she and her son could begin their adventures in the outside world together, but she wasn’t quite ready to share him with the world yet. Tonight, she wanted him all to herself, so she could admire him and revel in the miracle of him.

She’d already forgotten the worst of the pain, and somehow his presence felt more like magic and less like misery with each passing second.

That is your name, she thought. Magic.

She closed her eyes. She’d have to think of a way to communicate her son’s name to the humans, but that could wait until the morning.

Oh, darling Johann, I expect you to catch me eventually. That’s what makes the chase so exciting for both of us. I almost see it as a game of chess, but there are really no winners or losers as both of us will always walk away satisfied and eager for more of each other.

Per your suggestion, I've chosen some rather sensual notes and pictures to scatter throughout your notes and lab. I wonder, will you be able to find them all quickly? Or will you need to encourage Charles and the others to steer clear of the lab for a few days while you search? Either way, I look forward to your reactions.

I‘m glad you enjoyed my selections. However, I'm a bit sad that they don't have a purple collection, as that would have to be my own signature color. If you could design the “perfect collar” for me, would it combine all of the elements you enjoyed? A dark collar accentuated with lighter lace and a few gems sounds rather lovely.

As for the other accessories, I would be happy to wear the full set of ears, tail/plug, etc. I have a feeling your reactions will be delicious and the tail being a plug is also a non-issue because I actually enjoy anal play. However, I wouldn't want to wear a clip-on tail in public, but that's just because I'm a relatively private person, and I would prefer to keep the more scandalous details of my love life behind closed doors. Now, here’s another good question: would you want the fur on the ears and tail to match my real hair color, a light vanilla-blonde, or would you pick a different color for me?

I'll try to write about the breeding kink without blushing, but I’ll most likely fail. I fear this information gives you far too much power over me, as it’s the quickest way to flip my headspace into a more flustered one. I think multiple things go into it; there are some delicious themes of the dom possessing and claiming the sub with their seed, but it goes beyond that. Not only would I enjoy that aspect, but I genuinely have always wanted to be a mother so I think there's a lot of innate biology factoring into the kink. Maybe I'll be able to add more in the future, but I fear I've begun to ramble and blush already so it’s time for the next answer.

As far as classic literature fantasy goes, I've always been enamored by gothic literature and darker stories. So naturally, I remember the first time that I read Dracula. Since then, I've seen (and participated in) multiple retellings of Dracula, including ballets and operas, and many other beloved productions heavily centered around Vampirism, such as Tanz der Vampire.

In most retellings of Dracula, there is a scene in which the beautiful, innocent Lucy Westenra is asleep in her bed and the wicked Dracula sneaks in to feast on her blood. It’s almost always portrayed with thinly veiled erotic symbolism, and afterward, the sweet Lucy turns into a vampire and becomes a temptress instead of remaining the archetypical Victorian Lady. However, I’m certainly no stereotype of Victorian femininity, and I've always wondered about a situation where a woman willingly welcomes her vampiric lover into her bed whenever he craves the taste of her. With the games we enjoy playing with each other, it certainly seems fitting for me to propose that to you.

I could see you deciding to visit me one night when you hit a wall in your research. You'd not realized how late it was, but your frustration still beckoned you to seek comfort from me. I'm usually a night owl, but even I had already gone to bed by the time you arrived in my room and you simply watch how the rise and fall of my chest shifts my gossamer nightgown. Despite your best efforts, your fangs and fingertips begin to ache with the desire at the sight and you slowly walk over to the bed. I don't wake as the mattress dips under your weight, or from the soft kisses and teasing nibbles you press against my collarbone and neck, but a soft, sleepy moan leaves my lips. It only spurs you on to touch and feel more of me, and your hands explore the soft curves of my body, which responds to your touch even in the remnants of sleep. By the time I'm blinking my eyes open to look at you with a lust-filled gaze, our bodies are already intertwined and you fangs are grazing my neck, just waiting to sink into the tender flesh at the height of our pleasure.

I hope the fantasy lives up to your expectations, darling. As we converse, I find myself more and more drawn to you, and as a result, I've collected many more questions to ask you. Are there any more modern activities you'd like to try but haven't had the chance to yet? I'd love to show you some of my favorite movies one night, or perhaps I'll convince you to dress up and attend the theatre with me.

- L

My prey enjoys being hunted; that’s perfect. I'll get to check mate sooner than you anticipate.

Yes I noticed all your traces in my lab these past few days. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the one who found your notes first; Vlad did. He gave me the note and a key and told me to watch out for Charles. I doubt I’ve found everything you’ve hidden but that’s fine, as long as I can lock the door, I can take all the time I want. However it is starting to make me feel pent up, especially the pictures… You will be taking responsibility for that, yes?

A perfect collar for you would have to incorporate hints of both of us. I don’t have much experience in design but for you I suppose I can do it; give me a few days. Is there a specific shade of purple you’re fond of by the way?

I’m not a fan of the public version of it either, but to each their own as they say. I’m pleased to hear you approve of the full set, I’m sure you’d look very adorable. As for the color of the fur, I’d prefer it to match your real hair. I want the tail to fade out into white and the ears to have a white tuft of fur peeking out from the inside of the ears. I don’t believe I’ve ever dabbled in anal play much before; the plugs have been the extent of my experience with that. However, if it’s something you deeply enjoy, I can learn.

The rambling and blushing is amusing to watch, you’re so adorable it makes me smile. New information to add to my file, please add more in the future as I’d like to learn more about this side of you. The idea of breeding you is rather arousing, it sounds very intimate; a great way to deepen our connection. Also, I’m sure you’d be a wonderful mother.

Yes I recall you’re very well versed in the genre. I’ve heard many stories involving vampires, erotica is no exception; I find it rather interesting. You’re quite the temptress yourself, you tease me with naughty notes, sexy pictures, kiss and run… Just what am I going to do with you? Here I am barely rising and already I’m thinking of what waits for me in my lab; my mind is full of you. By the way, is this what they call “taking a hint” nowadays? Would you be interested in recreating a favorite scene of yours?

That’s a rather accurate description of something I would do. I never thought I’d engage in a form of somnophilia but with you I find myself learning more about myself. I wonder how long it would take you to notice and what exactly would bring you out of your slumber. Let’s continue to bring out our deepest desires, show me more.

I look forward to answering all your questions. Charles mentioned something about a theme park, apparently there are lots of people screaming, it sounded horrible. However, he said these places often have seasonal activities; during halloween humans like to try scaring each other so they create haunted houses and mazes. Since that time of the year is near, I’m interested in seeing if these attractions are any good or if humans are just easily frightened. Also, I’d love to watch your favorite films and attend a show with you, but I’m not sure how I feel about the dressing up part. Maybe if you try hard enough to convince me I’ll agree to wear whatever you have in mind.

Lark for the character asks if he hasn’t already been done : D

Hi serikyl and thanks for the ask!! :) I did do a little Lark bingo bundled in the Sparrow and Normal post but I have some more hcs so I'll share those (Thank you for the excuse to ramble more!) Lark Bingo Part 2:

Lark is a very strong and resilient person and that can be wonderful! But, those traits can be dangerous too. Because a very strong person may be prone to putting themselves in danger with reckless abandon. They can take the pain. Done it before and will do it again etc. Except, at some point there will be a force the person cannot brute strength past. Then what? What happens to the people that person was trying to protect? I feel like this is some of the logic that gets Lark into that survival/prepping mind set that you were mentioning to me in your hcs! Prepping constantly for different scenarios and struggling with an urge to shelter his family from the horrors. Being adamant about at least some basic self defense and weapon training too. While thats an older Lark, I could see how a younger him might have tried to do some of the same things? Maybe in smaller ways, stashing small hand-made weapons all around the house for everyone to grab if there's an intruder. And maybe nothing ever happens (or only happened once or twice...) but he sleeps a tiny bit better knowing that he put them there. He also always checks on everyone before sleeping too. I think he doesn't like the dark either but unsure if he has a night light necessarily. (Both being stuck under the rubble and inside that tree come to mind...). Probably something that Sparrow gets or makes for him one day. Seems likely that most of his dreams would be memory focused? As a reminder of his past regrets or the carefree life he misses. One day it may be him and Sparrow sitting on tree branches about to jump down and surprise their father. The next its trying to help a heavily wounded Walter in a panic. Sometimes I wonder if the kiddads kept up with Walter? I know Grant mentioned him to the teens but there wasn't a follow-up to that hm. More of a bit of a cute addition to the sad tone but for non-canon square, I think Lark would bond well with Autumn--and I hc as them being close. She teaches him how to knit and sew. Perhaps, one of the projects they work on is a little knitted version of Walter. I think it'd be something that the boys all borrow from time to time. Maybe adding stuff to it too (one of Nicky's pins or minecraft stickers from Grant...etc). Other squares, I think the different designs for Lark are cool looking! While I do draw him with small ear piercings and some dog tags, I think him not wearing any accessories makes a lot of sense too. Hadn't really thought much about that before until you mentioned how he might keep his hair short to prevent enemies grabbing it. In the same logic, less likely to wear necklaces unless its the type that can easily pull apart. The few accessories he does wear when not in a fight are from family and friends though. Woven friendship bracelet thats snug to his wrist, probably wears it on the same side the sparrow tattoo since its from him. Dog tags might have everyone's names carved into it...small pins that can hook onto his boots or belt. Overall, I think Lark is a fun character to think about, has an intenseness about him and that can be a shield but, if he allows a person close enough, he's got a softer side too. He seems to think a lot about how to reverse stuff so everyone else that he cares for can live comfortably. I hope at some point, he allows himself to be included in the everyone.

I'm 75% sure I'll have the placemat and coaster tops done tomorrow. Day after, machine quilting, which may take less than two hours. The binding will be done before laundry is started, which means they'll be washed and shipped by the weekend.

Next week will be spent making the Halloween quilt top. I'm guess-stimating a week of just making the top, and four to six weeks of handquilting. Every other day willbe handquilting, and alternating with piecing the astrology quilt top. The top will be finished before I'm done with thr handquilting, but handquilting I'd every other day because my wrists can't manage it daily. Weekends are no sewing or quilting. At all. I've found that works best for me, and prevents me from requiring a week or more off to spend recovering.

On my alternating days, if I have no commissions, I'll work on building up my shop inventory with small items, and maybe a few rag quilts. Those are such fun and quick things...but they take up a lot if space because they can't be folded like standard quilts.

We're also making repairs to our house, so that's gonna be occupying my "free" time. Our insurance sent us their estimate of repair costs, which includes replacing the gutters, repairing the converted garage by repairing the flood damage to the floor and one of the walls, the back door, and possibly the front porch. We will probably finish converting the garage by the time summer rolls in, which will be fantastic. It's the DnD room and my husband DMs a game every week. It's also where all the buildings, ships, accessories and terrains I build are stored, and where my husband has all the miniatures he's finished painting.

After two years of death, near death, and all sorts of horrible things, it feels like this is the beginning of something new and wonderful. With your help, we got our insurance deductible covered and more than half a debt paid off. I hope to have all three major debts paid off using commissions and shop sales, and end the year with three fewer bills to concern myself with. It'll be nearly $400 saved every month, which will go right into savings. But first they need to be paid off, and all my quilt sales and commissions are going towards that. It leaves a feeling if validation when I make those payments with money I earned through my work.

Yes, a year of good and positive changes, and definitely recovery.

Hello lovely! I was wondering if I could maybe get a Kingsman, Batman, and x-files romantic matchup? I’m 20 and use she/her pronouns. I’m bi so any gender is fine. For personality I’m creative, introverted, and individualistic. Though I’m introverted, around my friends/when I’m comfortable I can be quite talkative and humorous. However, I definitely treasure my alone time the most. Im a very big homebody and can be very hermit introvert sometimes. As for bad traits, I am sometimes the worst pessimist when it comes to myself. I’ll be fine motivating others but then when it comes to me I live by the “be ready for the worst and you wont be disappointed” As for hobbies escaping to new worlds while reading books/comics, watching movies, and playing rpg video games. My favorite genres are fantasy and sci-fi, though I do love a good classic from time to time. Apart from that, I love working out. My interests on the other hand are art focused. I’m currently in art school working with mostly digital mediums, though I sometimes work with traditional. I love my practice and everything including, game, web and interaction design, video art and visual effects, 3D modeling and character design, and digital illustration. Sometimes I whip out graphite and ink.

A list of random likes: coffee, chai tea, dark chocolate, rock/blues/jazz/80s pop/soundtrack music, statement jewelry and accessories, cafe art shows, arcades, comic book stores, purple, thai/Indian/Chinese food, roller blading to classic rock, quality alone time.

A random list of dislikes: people i am unfamiliar (I have trust issues oops) with and have to make small talk with, the biting cold, rain, non fiction, staying too close to reality and not being allowed to daydream/imagine/roam freely in my thoughts, physical touch, overly crowded areas. I think that’s it thank you!

Heyy! Thank you so much for requesting!! I hope you enjoy your matchups!!!

Batman:

Bruce Wayne (Christian Bale);

🦇 You first met Bruce when you were at an Indiana restaurant with a close friend, almost bumping into him as you were both heading to the restroom; you were embarrassed and for Bruce... It was love at first sight (and let's just put it out there that your friend was pretty hyped that you encountered the playboy billionaire)

🦇 You didn't 'run into' Bruce until a couple of weeks later, your friend invited you as their plus one to one of the said Billionaire's parties, you didn't really want to go, but your friend insisted that you'd have a good time ("No hiding, time to have fun!")

🦇 You, dressed up to the nines, hated how crowded the place was, yet it was less intense than Free Comic Book day, but that didn't stop you from staying by your friend's side; wishing you brought a book or something, you couldn't even have a drink of champagne and you doubted the bar served chai tea, which you were craving

🦇 But, against your better instincts, you decided to try and see anyway, going up to the bar and asking for anything non-alcoholic, only to get a shrug from the bartender and a new presence beside you

🦇 Turning, you were instantly greeted by Bruce Wayne himself as he turned to the bartender and asked for water for you, surprising you completely

🦇 With a soft 'thank you' to the man before you as you grabbed your water, Bruce gave you his charming smile, "I'd like to apologize, my staff are usually better at their job." Only for you to rapidly shake your head, "Oh, no it's fine!"

🦇 Bruce only shook his head back before speaking, "Still, I feel terrible. Let me treat you to breakfast tomorrow, here's my card. I'll have Alfred pick you up. Now, you two enjoy the party." And with that, he left

🦇 You, shocked and with your jaw slightly dropped, you turned to your friend with Bruce's card in your hands, your friend was basically jumping for joy as they exclaimed, "I think you just got a date with the Bruce Wayne!"

🦇 The next morning, at nine sharp, a nice polished car pulled up along your apartment, and off you went to your date with Bruce; which surprisingly enough... Was at a cafe

🦇 Bruce, standing when noticing you, was a complete gentleman, pulling out your chair, and offering a smile; the breakfast though a bit nerve-racking, was actually a lot of fun, and the both of you wanted to go out together again... You even got your chai tea

Kingsman:

Roxanne "Roxy" Morton;

🐩 You met Roxy when being recruited for Kingsman, alongside her and Eggsy; though it took some time, you and she bonded quite well

🐩 You started off as friends at first, motivating each other up during training and reading together during free time; drinking tea in the peace and quiet

🐩 You were also usually teamed up together for missions, which worked out perfectly each and every time, Eggsy was always jealous of how smoothly your missions went

🐩 When you weren't working, besides reading and drinking tea, you and Roxy would watch movies together such as fantasy movies and even some sci-fi; on occasion the both of you would watch a classic movie, dating back to the 40s or 50s

🐩 Having the best tech in the UK, you often used your work tablet for your art, digitally drawing and sketching things you enjoyed like coffee, your favorite fictional characters, and even Roxy, (but you won't ever tell her that)

🐩 In your free time, you had also found out that Roxy didn't know how to roller skate, so you decided to teach her; using the Kingsman Mansion ballroom as a practice rink, you helped Roxy skate, fall the right way, and even a few tricks; by the end of the week, she's a natural and the two of you skate to your favorite pop and 80s music

🐩 You also love your alone time, and Roxy respects that, she also loves her alone time; so you always make sure to make time for your own personal alone time

🐩 Roxy would also plan the cutest dates for the two of you, and every time she "picked you up" from your dorm bedroom in the Mansion, she always had a small bouquet of purple Verbenas ready for you

🐩 Roxy would also go to comic book stores with you, even though she didn't really care for comics that much, she knew they made you happy and that's all she could ever ask for; though if you go to a regular book store, be sure to be prepared for all the books she is going to purchase

🐩 On anniversaries, the two of you go to a Chinese restaurant, but most of the time you just get Chinese takeout and enjoy each other's company while watching movies together, falling deep into the fantasy or sci-fi world that played on the screen before you

X-Files:

Fox Mulder;

👽 You met Mulder when you were hired as a secretary for the extraterrestrial believer, and he quickly asked if you believed, you were too shocked by the abrupt question to answer properly

👽 Though you and Mulder had that awkward and rocky interaction, Mulder was quite nice when asking you to do anything for him, always saying please and thank you, while even sometimes letting you go home early some days

👽 As time went on, you noticed how awkward (and adorable) Mulder was acting, sometimes fumbling over his words or even walking into a closed door once after talking to you

👽 You grew closer to the man, to the point you knew exactly how he liked his coffee and you even got to the point where you could call him Fox, but only when no one was around

👽 Fox even surprised you one time, after having a rough day at work, he showed up at your desk with some chai tea, which made your heart warm and stomach flutter happily; it even started to become a habit for him to get you coffee or tea in the afternoon

👽 At this point, Fox knew you enjoyed fantasy and sci-fi movies, and he'd occasionally invite you to his place for an alien movie night; which also turned into a weekly event the two of you would do together, even Scully would join sometimes

👽 When you had nothing to do, no errands to run, or papers to file, you'd sketch in your notebook, sometimes unintentionally (intentionally), sketching Fox... And some aliens; that had become a habit for you at this point

👽 One time, when Scully had been out sick, Skinner had asked you to be a temporary agent/partner with Fox on a small X-File, nothing too big, he thought it was a hoax... But Fox knew there was something... Fishy going on ("Something fishy is going on." He's say)

👽 Turns out there was something fishy going on, someone or... Something had been mutating the local fish in Springfield Oregon; making the fish have three eyes, now you had never seen anything like that before, and it was an X-File mission success to put it simply in the end

👽 And, after a long work day, you and Fox would spend the time together watching movies or even just discussing the great unknown of space and aliens in general; you always loved those times, seeing how excited and interested Fox was about the subject, and Fox felt the same as you would sketch aliens beside him as he spoke

(Thank you again so much for requesting this matchup! It was fun to create <3 :) I hope you enjoy it!!!!)
