#//she'll probably be low activity but she's here

[painofhumanity]

NAME: Dorothea Imogen Margaret Holmes NICKNAME: Thea, Dottie (family) D.O.B: November 14th AGE: 30s ORIENTATION: heterosexual SPECIES: human FAMILY: Morland and Mary Holmes (parents), Mycroft Holmes (eldest brother), Sherlock Holmes (big brother), Eurus Holmes (elder sister)

Trigger Warning(s): addiction, drug use, alcoholism

There's a lot about her childhood that Dorothea doesn't remember. The family manor that was the one place the Holmes family lived together, a mad older sister, a fire that nearly killed her. . . What she remembers is talk of pirates and violin music and doodling on sheet music and copies of the periodic table. She also remembers a rather irate, disapproving older brother telling her that she was wasting potential with her scribbles.

As a teenager, Thea started smoking, which led into her using harder drugs, just like Sherlock. There was a part of it that was due to how much she looked up to her big brother, but a part of it was sensitivities all her own that she felt the need to dull.

Art was something she'd always been interested in even as a little girl. That interest turned into a dedicated hobby, which turned into a study, which turned into a proper profession. She graduated with an arts degree and started doing commission pieces. When she was a little older, she later got a job doing restorations for a well-to-do museum, with the endorsement from Sherlock after helping him with a case involving forgery.

Hey Phoenix! Hey 796!

It’s been a minute since I got in contact with y’all, I’ve been busy, but I saw your chatlogs again (do NOT ask how I keep getting these, it’s not important :3 ) and I have something y’all might enjoy.

…get these to the right person. You might find some evidence you’d enjoy seeing. And don’t tell anybody you got it from me!

// Nice to hear from you again, Intern! Glad to hear they've not fired you just yet. And don't worry too much about hacking our chatlogs, I'm pretty sure Slipshod went in and tampered with our firewalls specifically to let you poke around in there. (Maybe don't tell Upper Management about that, though.) Now, what's all this abou-

// ...!

oh? did our friend at IPS-N send a present?

// ...something like that, yes. Take a look; I've got your six in case Kennedi comes barging in.

...holy RA above and below. I don't know how many people they blackmailed to get access to this kinda information, but these files are legit. heavily encrypted, mind you - I'd recognize that encryption software signature anywhere - but entirely legit. christ-the-buddha almighty, intern, what kinda privileges are they giving you?

// No idea. Can you decode them?

oh, easy - not the first time I've dealt with IPS-N corporate files, won't be the last. should be a higher-difficulty variant on their standard encryption if the pattern follows; I'll have the full document to you in like an hour, tops - maybe two if they've updated their encryption software since last time, which I highly doubt

// Your skill with hacking never ceases to amaze me, Slipshod. How the hell did HORUS let you go so easy?

look, when a HORUS cell splinters, it leaks a lot of incredibly talented people into the ether. it's just a matter of knowing which (if any) of those people have some actual merit, or if they're all useless dipshits who can't function outside of their gamer rig. if none of the other nearby cells are smart enough to ask you to stick around, that's their loss. you're lucky I wound up here at MSMC, instead of with one of the other big 4 members. (they certainly wouldn't have such outdated encryption software anymore, in any case)

// Fair enough, I guess. Thanks a lot for this, Intern - we've got some serious thinking to do.

Okay, I need advice: I'm in a very tiny fandom (like less than two dozen active people and everyone knows each other) and one of the women in it is kind of freaking me out.

We became mutuals because we had some good discussions on some of the characters we liked, but I soon became sort of uncomfortable with a lot of her online behavior whereas simultaneously she's DM-ing me more and more.

She's one of those people who's a hardliner on the issues she cares about (mostly feminism- and SA-related) while talking over people when it comes to issues she doesn't care about (mostly racism and related things). And I see a lot of her trying to intrusively police how other people talk/act, derailing people's posts, arguing with people online over the most stupid shit (where not even her own opinions come off as overly coherent - this week she'll argue something along the lines of "men are evil" and the next she'll argue that people are "demonizing masculinity" - I'll add for clarification that she's not a TERF and supports trans rights but boy... Does she sound like one sometimes) and then digging through people's profiles to find and publicize minor transgressions and bad takes, passive-aggressive vagueposting, and going into mental breakdowns over the most innocuous of online interactions.

TBH she scares me. As someone who suffered through toxic people getting overly attached to me, I genuinely sometimes get a physical reaction when I see her lashing out on the dash.

And she keeps initiating conversations! And sometimes I don't reply or bring the conversation to a natural closure and she keeps at it, or sends me random fics of hers to read that I don't have the heart to tell her don't interest me or whatever. And recently when she disagrees with something I reblogged she direct messages me to rant about it - with a lot of sort of indirect language because she doesn't want to offend me but I can see the intent. The last couple of times I replied politely because I cared about clearing misunderstandings on the topic but next time I'm just gonna tell her I dislike it when she does that.

I really want this person to stop interacting with me, to be honest, and all my polite hints to the effect go unnoticed. But the fandom is so small I feel awkward and uncomfortable about unfollowing or blocking her. I don't think she's too bad of a person, she just comes off as very... Mentally ill, I guess? And since I've tried to be polite so far I feel like it might come out of left field for her?

TBH I feel like something about her behavior also triggers some kind of freeze/fawn reaction inside of me that I don't often get and consequently don't know how to deal with.

So I need impartial advice because I don't see the situation clearly myself

--

To summarize, a person who is a walking red flag wants to be friends, and you can't easily ghost her because the fandom is small.

I think you have to accept that there is no low-conflict way out of this.

That's what's holding you back, right? You don't want more drama and you know it's coming. I think you already know in your heart of hearts that you need to get away from her even if it's a pain in the ass.

Step one is to stop responding to her DMs. That will probably make her reach out more, but you should keep not responding. If she escalates and attacks you over it, block her.

The more you offer reasons or try to gently hint, the more that will encourage her. I don't think that's true of everyone, but I do think it's the case here. This is both because it doesn't sound like she's good at perceiving or respecting boundaries and because she inspires a bad lack of ability to assert boundaries in you.

I agree that it's unfortunate that you can't stand up for yourself or tell her plainly when she's out of line, but since you can't and that probably won't change any time soon, you'll need to protect yourself a different way. Sometimes, we just have to avoid people who are bad for us even when it's an us problem. (And here, whoaaaa red flags, so I don't think it's just a you problem anyway.)

There are many sad, lonely, needy people in the world. Some of them are officially mentally ill in some way with a diagnosis. Some just need things they aren't currently getting. That sucks...

But it's also not your job to fix.

[rekino2114]

Hey, I love your work and was wondering if you could do a work similar to the Halloween fic with the sdra2 girls but with Christmas. Since Christmas is coming up, anyways happy holidays.

The sdra2 girls celebrating Christmas with you

A/n:Thanks for requesting, happy holidays to you too and I'm sorry if this feels too repetitive

Holiday post #9

Sora

Sora was already in the mood to celebrate when December started, she really likes Christmas and she wanted nothing more than to celebrate with you

She really likes decorating the house with you, putting up the Christmas tree and making all the decorations. She particularly likes making snowflakes out of paper and hanging then around

She loves playing in the snow too, she'll drag you outside even if it's cold to have snowball fights and make snow angels

Sora didn't exactly know what to get you, so she had to ask around to your friends, but in the end, she brought you a gift you liked

"It's really nice to be outside you kn-.....hey that was a low blow, I wasn't paying attention and you just aimed at my face, well it's on now, you think you're the only one who can throw snow balls?"

Kokoro mitsume

Kokoro has a very critical view of Christmas, she thinks it's a commercial holiday that has the only effect of increasing the earnings of companies and she has no problem telling you that to your face. But if it's for you then she'll try to celebrate

.....in her own way, the most she'll do to get into the Christmas spirit is put on a hat if you ask her, but at least it's something.....right?

If mikako is there, she'll be more open to actually celebrate because she can't resist her daughter being so happy about something, but she'll mostly stay inside whole watching you two play in the snow

She knew exactly what to get you and giving it to you in a wrapped present was probably the most Christmas themed thing she did all day, you still really appreciate it though

"Here this is for you......you like it? Yes obviously,I knew you would......merry Christmas I guess"

Emma magorobi

Emma really loves Christmas, the whole holiday vibe really makes her happy and the fact that she gets to spend it with you is the cherry on top

She just loves to randomly sing Christmas song, she mostly does it when no one's around so she's very embarrassed when you catch her doing it but she actually likes it when you compliment her singing

Watching Christmas movies is an obvious activity you'll do, she hasn't starred in many so she just likes to watch the classic ones while snuggled on the couch with you

Using her money to spoil you is one of her favorite things to do and that triples when it comes to gift. She'll just bring you to a shopping trip and buy everything you look at even for a second

"Come on babe, come on the couch it's so warm, but I think I need a bit more warmth, possibly the body temperature of a cutie~"

Setsuka chiebukuro

Setsuka also loves Christmas especially because it means that she gets to spend time with the people she loves, in particular you

She definitely throws a Christmas party with the entire class, she wants to make sure everyone has fun but especially you, so she mostly stays near you the entire time

She would enjoy doing karaoke with you and doesn't really care how embarrassing it is for the other people, but if you're uncomfortable she just do it with hibiki

She knew what to get you but when she went to the mall she just saw a lot of things she thought you'd like so she just ended up buying a lot more stuff than planned, but at least that way you have a lot more gifts

"So are you having fun baby? Oh big sis is glad, come on let's go sing a bit more ok?"

Hibiki otonokoji

Hibiki does like holidays in general and Christmas so she she'll definitely like to celebrate with you ans her sister

She obviously likes to sing Christmas song, be it just in private or with you at karaoke, you've heard "all I want for Christmas is you" more times than you'd like to admit

She planned a Christmas concert with her sister and invited you (as well as kanade's partner) to come and even gave a special seat and backstage pass like she does for everyone of her concerts

She doesn't like to admit it, but she didn't really know what to get you, so she got kanade to ask you, she really has to thank her sister for that later

"Hello everyone and thank you for coming to our Christmas concert, especially to the person in the first row my amazing partner y/n l/n!"

Kanade otonokoji

Kanade loves doing anything with you and showing her love to you. so it's pretty obvious that she'd love a holiday where she has an excuse to buy you anything you like and be with you for a long time.

Hibiki kinda forced her to do a Christmas concert which she didn't really want to do since it took time away from being with her darling. But she was happy that you came to see her and you two kissed in the dressing room later

After the concert she just likes to stay in and cuddle with you near the fireplace while watching a Christmas movie ans mumbling about how you're her Christmas miracle

She knew exactly what to get you. It was basically everything you wanted over the year. Even if you didn't tell her, she still somehow knew, and there were even some things you could have sworn were not on sale anymore. When you asked her about it she just told you she'd do anything for you no matter the cost

"What is it darling? Do you not like the gifts? oh I'm glad, what's the problem then? Oh don't worry your pretty little head about that OK? I'd do anything for you?"

Iroha nijiue

Christmas is probably one of iroha's favorite moments of all the year, not only because the aesthetic of it is amazing but she also gets to celebrate with you

She likes to paint the scenery she sees outside the window, she thinks the ground covered in snow is really pretty and her paintings always look great

She does like playing in the snow occasionally (she looks adorable all bundled up in scarves and wore a hat on top of her beret) but she enjoys staying inside and drawing while cuddling you

She didn't have enough money to buy you something, so she decided to make you something herself, as well as giving you a painting of you two while apologizing profusely. She was very happy when you just hugged her and told her you loved it though

"O-oh hey y/n, it's nothing I was just painting the scenery outside....oh you like it? T-thanks"

Yoruko kabuya

While yoruko doesn't particularly think of holidays as special days, and doesn't really celebrate that much, she'll still do it for you, even if she will let you do most of the decorating and other stuff

But she will definitely take care of the drinks and food for you two, she doesn't make anything too special but it's still her food so it tastes amazing and you love it

Her favorite thing to do is definitely watching Christmas movies together, while she may blush a lot at how close you are, she really loves cuddling with you while drinking the hot cocoa she made and watching the movie

She just straight up asked you what you wanted and brought it and gave it to you on Christmas day. To her credit, she tried her best to wrap it up, though

"O-oh thanks, but it's nothing, hot cocoa is literally the easiest drink to make ever, a kid could make it. H-huh? It's still special because I made it? *sighs* God, you're so cheesy"

AITA for trying to get my friend to stop hanging out with her other friend?

(tw: mentions of eating disorders)

So basically here's some context a few years back we used to have a really tight knit friend group. Alice (friend I want to stop hanging out with her other friend group) and Shera (person in said friend group who is toxic in my opinion).

They were really close friends and a few months down the line we were messing around and decided to jokingly trap her in the spanish homeroom during lunch (we did this with a few other people and now she wanted to see if she could get out in hindsight this was actually extremely irresponsible of us but we were stupid so eh).

Her hand got jammed into the door a few seconds in and once I noticed I backed out and started yelling at Shera to stop and tried pulling her back. I kept screaming that her hand was in the door and I didn't want it to break but she just went 'its fine!' and low and behold the next week she came back with a cast on her arm. I apologized A LOT feeling extremely guilty but Shera was then asking questions like 'are your parents gonna sue me?' 'my moms gonna be pissed if i get sued' 'oh god im so stressed' before even CHECKING on Alice

I calmly mentioned to her that we probably won't get sued and if we did we would deserve it and Shera was still paranoid about that. Alice then said that her mom isn't the type to sue people so she's fine and then Shera made a halfhearted apology to her before laughing it off as a joke.

A few months later and we get into another argument. Alice mentions that she's underweight and has a severe eating disorder that does effect with her life and mental health to which Shera responds with 'its better than being fat' and 'i would rather have an eating disorder than being fat'

We then try to talk her out of it and she keeps saying how Alice is just being stupidly insecure when she shouldn't be and saying how she's instead complimenting her for being skinny. I get mad at her and tell her to just leave and she does.

Next year comes around and she acts like nothing bad has happened. She rejoins the friend group but Alice left because of her. Then when asked about the situation regarding her hand she just says 'yeah that was really funny' and 'it wasnt my fault' then she'll start accusing us of being overdramatic and that it wasn't that much of a big deal (keep in mind we accidentally BROKE her arm).

Anyways soon later we kick her out and I join Alice's current friend group because my other one got wonky. Then some lunch days she disappears and we saw her hanging out with Shera again. I get kinda pissed at this because she's the reason why Alice left and our entire friend group agrees

Whenever we ask her about it she shrugs it off or gets snappy with us. I've also actively tried talking her out of it saying that 'Shera isnt a good person' but whenever I try she just snaps at me and tells me that its her choice.

I'm starting to feel like an asshole for trying to get her to stop. Our entire friend group has tried talking her out of it as they've also had past history with Shera, but it doesn't work. She gets mad at us and we've stopped with it and laid low. I know that Alice is her own person but its kinda the situation where if you know your friend is hanging out with a bad person wouldn't you try to stop them?

I just don't want her getting hurt again but I also don't want to come off as controlling over her.

Anyways AITA for not trying to get her to stop hanging out with her other friend?

What are these acronyms?

[blackjackkent]

OK. Rakha is running dangerously low on sidequests; the final showdowns in the Foundry and with Gortash loom large. But we do still have a bit of side stuff to get through, so next up on our list is... [drumroll]

...the Hag Support Group.

Lol.

Realistically, there's no reason Rakha HAS to do this, and she'll probably be a lot happier if she doesn't. But *I* want her to smack Ethel in the face, and really that's the important thing.

This is definitely a case of Rakha's curiosity getting the better of her, because she only knows about this because of a flyer that she saw on a billboard when she first entered the Lower City.

Rakha actually IS in some ways the target audience for this flyer. She offered her eye to Ethel in return for a tadpole removal that didn't materialize, and even this many months later, she is still pretty angry about it, and until recently would have gladly welcomed the opportunity for bloody vengeance.

That was back when the Dark Urge still plagued her thoughts, though. Her mind is a little clearer now, and I think perhaps on some level she does wonder about the idea of meeting other survivors.

Wyll encourages it, I think. It'd be good for her, he says. People to talk to about what happened. Maybe people she can help in turn.

Barren's Coop, Rakha discovers, is a rather squat and sad-looking little house in Heapside Strand, but shows no sign of recent activity.

(A/N: This little hiccup in the quest is such an odd choice honestly. The only purpose, as near as I can tell, of Barren's Coop is to be a building that holds a set of documents that tell you to go somewhere else. AND the door is locked. So my attempt to play this entirely based on what Rakha knows without metagaming does get a little bit stymied here, since realistically the most likely thing for her to do here is knock, receive no answer, shrug, and move on with her life.

However, I suppose we can say that Rakha's introduction to morals and common behavior has been a little piecemeal, to put it mildly, and she has come to regard locks as more momentary inconveniences than something actually intended to keep people out.)

Inside the building are a bunch more copies of the flyer and not much else - besides this notice that Jaheira picks up off a rather battered desk:

(A/N: Once again - the game doesn't REALLY give us a compelling reason to investigate this further, but that's okay. Rakha has her own compelling reasons for interest.)

This seems briefly like the end of the trail - except that Rakha, on the way out, discovers another grubby sheet of paper sticking out from under a pile of flyers.

Once again taking advantage of Wyll's prodigious ability to ask directions (something definitely no one else in the party is adept at), Rakha follows this trail down to Old Garlow's, which is on the other side of the central wall, near the Counting House.

(A/N: Another reason this little diversion is annoying. :P Getting to Old Garlow's requires going all the way north, and then all the way south again. )

Old Garlow's is even squatter, and even sadder-looking, and ALSO has a locked door. At least until Rakha gets done with it.

And hey, this place actually has people talking about hags in it, and an ominous giggling noise happening from upstairs, so that seems promising.

[crabbytime]

So it's occurring to me that I should probably be posting my OCs here but my braincells are low so we're starting off with the one I made most recently

Meet Ultrawoman Cancer! She's the HR woman who hates everyone and nobody can do anything about it because she's the only person in the HR department and its founder.

She initially started as a meme-sona because my friend @futariwadorkycure and I do watch parties for Ultraman series' and I could not stop making "These people would not survive HR" jokes, but then she became her own thing, and thus Cancer was born.

Her lore is a heavy mix of things we thought would be funny and my angst-heavy ass sprinkling in a few bricks of depression. Her being Belial's estranged wife was funnily enough a meme addition and we ran with it. Mainly cause she married him post-Reiblood.

If tumblr didn't kill me then a summary of her lore can be read under the cut.

[Image refs are slightly outdated but it's mainly details I forgot and changed lore]

She hails from O-50 and is half-human on her mother's side and grew up there before a kaiju killed her mom and her dad moved her to the Land of Light. She's around Ken and Marie's age, so 160,000~. She's also got a massive obsession with strength because of her trauma, but she's also smart enough to not just rush into any false promises of power. Occasionally she has impulsive moments when she thinks it'd be for the greater good or if she panics, but generally she's pretty composed aside from being a massive bitch. Her current form was obtained after completing the climb up Crusader's Peak in stilettos and the Ring of Light was intimidated by it.

She doesn't like any Ultras outside of her dad and her best friend who doesn't have a design yet because she blames them for not helping her mom. She also just thinks all of them are weak and selfish and don't earn or work for their strength because she thinks powerups and fusions are cheap methods of gaining power. The biggest part of her job as the HR woman is crossing dimensions to write their performance reports and none of them are nice in any way. She will write them up for the most petty of reasons.

She will actively just sit around while a battle happens because she feels like it's not her problem and that if the Ultras can't stop it, then they're just weak. To be fair she is quite strong, and could easily go toe-to-toe with plenty of Ultras or kaiju, so she has bite to her bark. The only time she'll participate in fights is to help with evacuation or if her help is actually needed.

Her main gimmick outside of being the HR woman is the heels. The heels are a big reason she even exists. The clacking of her heels terrifies everyone in its vicinity. Her fighting style is primarily kicking and jumping, outside of when she goes feral and all bets are off. Her melee weapon is a clipboard she doesn't use often because it's basically a deus ex machina that could kill anything and she thinks it's cheap to win that way.

She can switch between human and Ultra form and can also take on human hosts if she so wishes. Her transformation item is literally just her heels and her Rise is activated by clacking her heels together 3 times like in the Wizard of Oz. Her color timer also lasts longer because of her human heritage, making her better equipped to Earth atmospheres. Because she's a dimension-hopper, I like to shove her into various Ultra shows just to be funny.

I can go into her relationships in another post but tl;dr she has hardcore beef with Zero and Seven for mainly petty reasons and her stepson by technicality, Riku/Geed, is like the cat who follows her around and she keeps running from it. Belial is there too ig.

[robinyourcreator]

entertained myself this week by mentally sketching out what Adana would be like as a companion

She's quite flirty IF you flirt with her first, I think, but otherwise a little bit mousier than she is as Tav since she doesn't need to put on as much of a brave face with You in charge! She's desperate to be Useful to the party, and very obviously traumatized, with a big ol Fawn response and is pretty obviously triggered by unexpected touching or mindgames.

Adana Approves of:

-Patience and Good Manners

-Helping Out

-Harmless Mischief (easy way to speedrun her approval is to go hang with the budding thieves' guild the tiefling kids are making)

-Snark (but ONLY when it's funny AND unlikely to get you killed)

And Disapproves of:

-Cruelty

-Making Powerful Enemies

-Saying Stupid Shit That Could Get You All Killed By Powerful Enemies

-Violating Her Privacy (you get ONE detect thoughts before she asks you to stop and Never do that again, after which she will HARD disapprove *every time.*)

-Being a Judgmental Prick

Gifts for her would be:

An empty sketchbook ("Oh! Thank you so much! :D Where did you find one of these out here?")

A violin ("Oh, um. Thank you for thinking of me. I... Yes, ha, I do know how to play... Let's just say it's been a while and leave it at that, shall we?")

Her questline would be called something like The Perfect Performer, and it's mostly just making this terribly anxious sweet little thing not panic whenever you single her out for conversation or slam her sketchbook closed when you approach and hide it behind her back. It's mostly full of landscapes and flowers, and she'll willingly (if nervously) show you that, but eventually you'll get the option to snoop when she's away from her tent and find sketches of a young man who looks remarkably like her.

If you give her the violin you can pry out of her that she used to play-- that she "used to be quite famous for playing, actually. In another time, in another life. I... couldn't bring myself to play it again, after I left that life. Felt like it would only break my heart to try. It was very sweet of you to think of me, but... I won't offend your ears or mine by trying to pick it up again now." -can be encouraged to pick it up again with a VERY low dc persuasion roll and she even approves-

She will also gradually open up about being a rich bastard with an abusive mother from whom she faked her own death and changed her name to escape, because with her mother actively sabotaging her visits with potential suitors for an arranged match, the only way she could see out was by faking her death or killing herself for real, and well... By that point she didn't much CARE if framing the cult of bhaal for her fictitious murder got her gruesomely murdered for real. Tristana Bergen is dead. She's Adana (or Adran) Taveth now, in every way that matters.

She never wanted to be a bard or an adventurer, though she's enjoying both more than she ever thought she would. She wanted a quiet life; she's not good enough for a quiet life. In every room or relationship she enters she has to relentlessly prove her worth. She can't AFFORD to be quiet. She's able to be Useful this way. It's good. She's fine. This is fine.

Her past will eventually catch up with her in Act III where she gets recognized by one of her half-brothers, and there's probably some tie in with the family business and the Absolute shenanigans. She will only enter her family home wearing her preferred male face, Adran, the boy from her sketchbooks that her dream visitor stole from her, which she will only have introduced to you before if you've been very, very nice to her. She cherishes that face. None of the bad things that happened to her have ever happened to that perfect dream of a boy she wants to be. Tread lightly with him.

We have loaded Chekhov's Gun at this point, so we WILL run into Adran's mother at the house. And the Bhaalists WILL recognize and remember the trouble Adana caused them as a stupid teenager ten years ago. If Adana is left at camp she WILL be prioritized for the kidnapping victim.

Her happy ending is a quiet life in the city, teaching spoiled prodigies violin and painting in her free time. Her relationship with her estranged family depends on how much killing was done in her childhood home and how much you hide or reveal their Patriarch, Adana's grandfather, dealings with the Absolute plotsters. (You can do an awful lot of killing; Adana will disapprove of nearly all of it, even her mother.) But her happiest ending is her mother dead or ignorant of the fact her daughter is still alive, with Adana's stepfather and halfbrothers alive and not in prison so she can re-establish a relationship with them.

As for her romance, babygirl would probably either be flattened by fandom into no nuance perfect innocent baby child coded cinnamon roll or despised manipulative lying whore woman depending on who you asked.

Because she IS a sweetheart but she is also uhhhhhh a stone domme and a sex worker. She will be very open about that if you flirt with her. (The trauma is Unrelated to being a sex worker. That's actually been quite healing and fulfilling for her. Be normal about this or face her wrath.) And she CAN be persuaded (yes, she WILL make you roll for it) to sleep with you very early on, but she keeps her walls TOTALLY up and makes it very clear this is just a fun one night stand, and she expects you to Behave During and Be Normal About It afterwards.

It is not only completely optional to her romance but Suboptimal because she Disapproves if you keep flirting with her angling for more after your one night stand, and it takes a while for her to believe you're sincere about it. Gifts help.

For BONUS fandom drama, should the one night stand occur, it will almost certainly happen before she comes out to you as bigender/genderfluid, so ENJOY your cooties from being fucked by a part time man, since, again, she won't do that until you have your dream visitors and you poke her about her waking up in a frantic screaming rage.

ANYWAYS, if you SINCERELY flirt with her and gradually raise her approval without sleeping with her she has. Absolutely no idea what to do with that. The very thought just completely baffles her. Take it slow and repeatedly, gently, and confidently express your interest, and all her walls will just CRUMBLE. It's tooth rottingly sweet.

Thinking about this question addresed to Muu...

What's your dream for the future?

Muu wanting to be a model herself it's not something very surprising, sure, especially considering that her mother was a model too.

What are the occupations of your family members?

However I always wondered what kind of model she can be.

Fashion model industry has a requirement for heights. Usually, you need to be at least 170 cm (5'7") to be able to be a fashion model. Because of Kotoko's height and appearance, even Milgram describes her as having features that will make her a good model!

In Japan, the height requirement is less strict, the minimum being 166 cm (5'6").

However, Muu's official height is 162 cm (5'3"), so she doesn't fit the height requirements. And unfortunately for her, the chances of her becoming taller are low, because girls usually stop growing after 15 years old, Muu being older than that.

So how did Muu receive scouting offers if she doesn't fit the requirements to be a fashion model? Well, simple, despite that I always viewed Muu as being a fashion lover, especially after trial 2, there are other types of modelling!

Fashion (Editorial) Model, Runway Model, Commercial Model, Fitness Model, Parts Model and many more! (if anyone is interested I'll put the link here!)

Based on these, Muu can be, most probably, a commercial model and parts model!

Commercial Models are not restricted by age, height, or size, while parts model basically means having body parts and facial features that make you stand out, usually used on editorial, advertising, and catalog work.

Muu has been complimented many times for her looks, even her profile states that she is very beautiful.

But modelling is not just about being considered pretty, you need to have something that makes you stand out!

"Being a model isn't just about being “good looking” or “pretty.” There are a lot of beautiful people in the world. If you're serious about getting into modeling, it's important to have “a look.” There should be something unique about the way you look or the way you're built."

And Muu actually posses this feature!

In the first voice drama, Es is noticing her unusual and pretty face features.

Based on this, we can say that Muu might be a perfect face model!

"Beauty modelling, also known as face modelling, is a category of modelling that takes place predominantly in the beauty industry – so skincare, make-up and cosmetics. Models regularly require extremely close-up photos of their faces, or parts of their faces, so it’s important beauty models are well-groomed and take care of their skin, hair and nails."

Healthy hair and clear skin

Well-maintained nails

"You need to learn how to move the tiny muscles in the face to create different expressions. Can you smile or laugh convincingly on demand? Can you look gloomy or thoughtful at a moment’s notice? If you have a natural poker face and struggle to control or show emotions, you’ll struggle being a beauty model."

Muu is very expressive when it comes to her emotions and feelings. If something bothers her, she will not hesitate to be blunt about it. An event that made her upset? She will show her sadness by crying, will be vocal about it. An action that made her happy? Her body language is easy to read and, with a confident and pretty smile, she'll show her cheerfulness!

Moreover, Muu is able to change her emotions very quickly and easily.

A good example is in her first voice drama, where Muu, after many minutes of crying, is changing her attitude in a few seconds, after seeing Es talking with Jackalope.

So Muu can easily be a famous face model if she truly wants to!

Also, another interesting thing!

Muu is saying that her mother, who was once a model, is not active anymore.

"But while most female models are considered ready for retirement by the time they turn 25, males tend to start later and are more likely to make modeling a long-term career."

Although, 25 is not necessarily the age when female models have to retire, there being many exceptions, depending on how they maintain themselves, for Muu's mother it's very possible that she retired during that age!

If we take Muu's father age, based on this portal timeline conversation:

"Kazui: Hm? Ah…… Kusunoki-chan. Sorry for asking out of the blue, but how old is your father?

Mu: Eh…? Um… I think he’s 41…"

which is 41, and we consider that her mother is the same age, then, when Muu has been born she was 25 years old! The same age when most models retire! So Muu's mother most probably retired short after her daughter's birth!

Let Sleeping Bears Lie

Madeline had been gone for a while...did something happen to her?

She probably just got distracted. It was like her to take off the second they got to the campsite- leaving Ruya alone to actually set up the camp. They sighed, while the help would've been appreciated...a trip out to the National Park was something she wanted for the longest time. Nature photography was her thing...now that the camp was set up, now was a good time to look for her. She said she was taking the easternmost trail...

Ruya picked up their bag and hit the trail, helpfully marked for visitors. The parks were certainly beautiful, but they didn't doubt there were dangers here. They had read up on them beforehand- landslides, getting stranded, wild animal attacks...this park had a notable "attraction" they were worried about. Ashford, some kind of man-bear thing notorious for charming visitors out of their food...they wouldn't be surprised if he also charmed visitors into being food, too. Can't ever trust a bear...

Hopefully Madeline was just taking pictures of a creek or something. Ruya crossed over one that cut through the trail, when a deep rumbling sound caught their attention. They weren't near any cliffs so it couldn't be a rockslide, and it couldn't be an earthquake...it sounded much more like someone snoring. Could there be people camping off the trails? They moved to investigate, hopefully one of them had seen Madeline! It's only been about an hour, these people were likely already here...

The direction the sound was coming from led Ruya to a glade, but there wasn't a camp here. Lying asleep in a sunbeam was a huge, furry brown beartaur, rolled over onto his back and snoring deeply. His stomach on his human half looked VERY full, wriggling and squirming with clearly lively prey. Nearby on the ground was a familiar object, and Ruya's heart dropped.

"MADELINE!" Throwing all caution and the things they learned to the wind, Ruya rushed over to the beartaur. Pressing their hands into his stomach, they tried to feel around for her. "Are you okay?! I'm gonna get you out of there, okay...! I promise!"

Though her words were muffled by the taur's fat and noisily working stomach, she seemed well enough to try to respond. Ruya was too busy pushing around and trying to come up with a plan that they didn't notice that all the activity was starting to wake the sleeping predator. Their efforts were halted by a grunt and low growl, and they froze in place as the bear slowly rolled over, sitting up with his bear half laying down. He blinked blearily down at Ruya, taking in their features and panicked expression.

"...mmh. You're not a ranger. Whaddaya want? Trying to sleep, here..."

"Y-you...!! You ate my friend! Spit her out now! Or I'll...!" Ashford tilted his head, still not fully awake to process what was going on. He looked down at his full stomach, letting out a quiet belch as his meal kicked around. "Oh. That uh, wasn't in there when I went to sleep. That your friend? Must've been sleep eating again. Sorry."

"YES! Let her go, you monster! This was supposed to be the perfect trip for her...!" They push against his stomach again, which only stirred up a burp. Ashford's ears went a bit flat in irritation. "She'll be fine, relax...taking a nap on a full belly feels real nice, so can I get back to sleep? Geez, don't the rangers teach you people anything?" He grumbled, already trying to lay back down. Ruya wasn't having any of it, and while it annoyed Ashford greatly...he wasn't going to hurt them. He had another idea, anyhow...

"Ugh, fine. You want her back so bad? Help me out." His bear half sat up now, leaving Ruya with their face full of his gurgling belly. "Push right there for me, won't ya? It'll help me bring her up faster." Ruya was quick to obey, pushing their hands into Madeline from the outside. After a few pushes his stomach burbled loudly, but he didn't look like he was bringing her up...instead, the movements she was making started to sink downwards. Ruya watched Ashford's belly shrink, with Madeline's body sliding deep into his lower half's stomach and filling it out. She was much harder to see and hear now, barely making any bumps in his stomach.

"H-huh...?"

Ashford grinned, leaning down to the black-haired human. "Hasn't anyone told you to let sleeping bears lie? You and your friend are learning that lesson firsthand...but hey! I'm a nice guy! I'll let you two hang out together while I take a nice long nap, and you can think about not bugging me while I sleep. Deal? Deal!"

Before they could reply or even try to run, Ashford lunged forward and caught their head right in his maw. Strong arms pinned their arms to their sides, leaving them to helplessly kick and wiggle as he sampled their flavor for a moment. Digging their knees into his fat stomach did nothing to help their situation, leaving them helpless as he started to swallow. Thick, powerful gulps pulled them into his throat, and his hands only fed them deeper inside. The taur's heartbeat echoed around them as his swallows continued, eventually pushing them into his empty, first stomach. It was a tight fit, they were taller than Madeline- they were forced to curl up as his stomach almost smugly gurgled around them.

"Mm, you weren't half bad. Come poke me again sometime, aye? Bring your friend too, I didn't exactly get to taste her n' all..." Ruya's world rocked as he flopped over, rolling back over to catch the sun now that both bellies were full. Ruya kicked and punched at the walls, which got no reaction outside of a voice from the lower stomach.

"Ruya? Ruya! Hey, did you bring my camera in with you? I dropped it, wasn't expecting him to clamp down on my hand in his sleep...this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance, I want to take some pictures of a beartaur's stomach!"

"...you mean you WANTED this?! You're totally fine with just, being swallowed up??"

"Uh, yeah? I'm perfectly fine! This is just a part of nature, I'm getting the closest look ever! My phone camera isn't getting good shots, so...is that a no? You don't have it? They needed to stop taking her places.

long ramble post about vee and the three laws of robotics

oneshot has rubbed off on me way too much lol

generally -

i think these laws are built into robots so attempting to break them, stuff like that etc would probably cause a good deal of distress

hm. if they know nothing else they at least know they cannot violate these laws so it's like a foundation thing (?)

okay first law:

"a robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm." (it says human being here but for the sake of it i'll just say it include toons)

vee... it's hard . i think from what little i know of her her personality kind of conflicts with this but let me think.

oough okay. so even despite her demeanor i think she probably cares enough to where if she sees one of her teammates in danger of getting hurt/caught she'll redirect attention to her (low stealth n all that)

since... the ichor operation actively puts toons in danger i think she generally dislikes the idea of anyone coming down with her? i think she dislikes dandy because he's the reason they're all in danger in the first place

i also think she values herself less then the other toons.. "astro, you need to start worrying about yourself more" when asked if her mic cord was tangled, so she just deflects the question at first. when asked again she doesn't say anything

second law:

"a robot must obey orders given to it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the first law."

at this point i think she'd straight up refuse to do anything dandy tells her because anything that flower is planning is probably going to put someone in danger. Not Good

i don't have that much to say about this one but i'll mull it over

third law:

"a robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the first or second law."

self preservation...

there are times where it probably gets hard for vee. where she thinks about everyone she's lost. even though logically, she knows that some of it couldn't have been avoided, it still hurts because her most foundational instinct was to keep them safe and look at where they are right now. no matter how much it hurts, she has to keep living in this nightmare

idk. sometimes i think about it

Mama Hen and her 3 Rascals

The 3 lil rascals

Carrot is the oldest. He's probably the most annoying of the 3. What he does is at random points during the night, he'll appear at the electric gate used to fend off Jala and Pepper and whatever other gate animatronics I make. What he'll do is he'll try to bite down on the wires. If you let him, the gate will short circuit and take a longer for it to start back up once you used it. You can drive him away with your newly acquired animal taser and zapping him if he tries. But be careful. Don't wanna use that too much.

Turnip is probably the easiest of the 3. She'll try and run into your office. Let her get in and she'll hide under the table. Letting her be under the table will cause her to peck at you to get out giving you less time to be under there while dealing with threats using the desk. If you see her run in, you just need to quickly zap her and she'll run back out. Once again. Use carefully.

The last is Parsnip. A middle ground. He'll crawl through the vents and start trying to poke things into the fans that give you your oxygen. You have to turn on the bright light in the vents to get him to scurry away, he hates bright lights.

Mama Hen

Mama Hen stays in her designated room. That animal taser mechanic comes back into play here. To prevent you from just spamming the taser all willy nilly, every time you zap Turnip and Carrot, a meter will build up on Mama Hen's camera. She'll slowly look up and look at the camera. Once the meter is full, she'll activate.

She's AGGRESSIVE. Moves quickly, making her way to the office. She'll go for either door. The right door can close while the left can't. If she goes to the right, quickly close it (she has a low kill timer meaning she'll Jumpscare you quickly if you take too long). If she goes for the left, hide under the desk.

Promises (7)

Pairing: Erik Stevens x Ada Moore (OC)

AN: Originally written in 2018

Warnings: The n word because we're black over here and Erik is annoying.

The change in Erik was evident after the doctor's appointment.

Packages arrived the next week, taking up space in the living room but Ada ignored them in favor of retreating to her room. She was tired and hadn't been sleeping well. It might've had something to do with her baby father sleeping on her couch. 

She didn't expect his presence to affect her so much but she'd forgotten how much Erik could occupy a space, not in a messy way, but in a "you're gonna remember I'm here" way. It was hard to ignore him when he was driving her to and from work, taking her to run errands, paying for shit. He was integrated himself back into her life at a pace she wasn't ready for. But she didn't mind it either. She wasn't used to him being around so long; by this time, Erik would be preparing to head out on another mission but it seemed that he was making himself comfortable. Except there was no way he was. Her couch was meant for sitting and napping, not for full on sleeping. 

Ada thought about inviting him in the bed with her but didn't want to risk succumbing to her hormones. She'd also forgotten how little clothes Erik wore on a regular basis. No shirt, muscles bulging, gray sweatpants hanging low on his hips, dick swinging freely. And when he was working, he'd pull out his gold rimmed glasses. Ada has to lock herself in her room before she threw herself across his lap presenting herself to him like a cat in heat. But it's not like you could get pregnant, her inner voice pleaded for her to give in. 

Shut up, hoe. Ada rubbed her temples as she sat on the bed. Her head hurt and she was hungry but she was hiding in her room from the sexual demon that was Erik. But this was her house. So fuck that. 

She got up and opened the door. The scene in her living room was worst than she imagined and she stopped in her tracks. Erik was sprawled on her couch, no shirt, gray sweatpants, bulge visible through the fabric. Reading a baby book. She could see from her angle in the doorway that he was reading What to Expect When You're Expecting, Ada's own unopened copy calling to her from her nightstand. Every time she found the time to open it, she fell asleep before getting through the first page. Sitting on the end table behind him was another stack of books. She crossed the room to look at the titles.

Babywise: Giving your Infant the Gift of Nighttime Sleep; 100 Baby Names; The Expectant Father; Dad's Guide to Pregnancy for Dummies; and How Not to Fuck Them Up filled out the stack and Ada laughed at the last one. Typical Erik. 

"Did you know she's probably in there sucking her thumb right now?" Erik's voice startled her. "We'll have to stop that shit immediately or else she'll be doing it until she's an adult." 

Ada blinked at him. Where was the man who could barely look at her bump? "Where did you get all these books?"

Erik looked at her bashfully. "Amazon. Figured she's on her way. Might as well know how to take care of her."

Ada sat next to him. "Yeah I use this app to keep up with what she's doing but I haven't been able to read any books. I don't even have a name for her." Ada laughed sardonically. "I'm actually really scared." 

Erik's hand snaked over hers. When she didn't pull away, he linked his fingers with hers. Well I'm here now and we gon figure this shit out together."  Her newfound independence wanted to fight at this but Ada was weary. She was glad he was here, glad she had someone to lean on. So she did, leaning into his side. He wrapped his arm around her, pressing a kiss to her hair. 

Over the few days, Erik was on ten when Ada wanted him to be a solid three point five seven. If he wasn't spewing out random facts about the baby from his baby books, he was now taking an active roll in her pregnancy. He must've been looking at things on google about pregnancy; he started taking her on walks around the neighborhood after dinner. 

"You been complaining about heartburn," he said, slapping her hands out the way and zipping up his her sweater himself. "You need to stop going to sleep right after you eat." He bent down to help her put her shoes on. "Plus walking is supposed to help with making birth easier." He tugged her good over her head, careful not to mess up her hair. "I need that shit to go smoothly so yo ass not breaking my hand all night." 

Ada thought about asking him why he expected to be in the room with her but decided not to. She really couldn't imagine going through it alone but she didn't want him to see her like that. She still wanted him to find her sexy after giving birth. Even if they weren't like that, she didn't want him to be scarred after seeing her give birth to his baby. But she knew there was no way she could ask him to wait in the waiting room with the way he was acting. He was probably going to hold the doctor hostage in the hospital room until she gave birth. 

After walking one evening, Ada stood in front of the full length mirror in her bedroom in just her bra and panties. Her hands trailed over her bump reverently. She still couldn't believe this was her body. She didn't have that much time to go. She felt eyes on her and met Erik's through the cracked open door. She swallowed around the lump in her throat at the look in his eyes. They were dark with arousal and she unconsciously trailed her gaze over his body. He was dressed still from their walk but still in his sweats. She could see his dick rising at her attention and she licked her lips... 

Erik cleared his throat and her eyes snapped up to his. He raised an eyebrow but she turned back to the mirror. "I'm getting a few stretch marks." She concentrated on the new faint lines in an effort to calm the throbbing in her lower region. 

"I'm surprised you don't have more with that big belly." His voice was closer as he came up behind her in the mirror. She could feel the heat of his body against her back. She watched him through the mirror, saw him clench his fists, his hesitation, before he slid his hands around her waist to press to her stomach. The skin to skin contact was jarring for her; there was an intimacy to his actions, him caressing the bare skin of her belly. He buried his face into her neck and his breaths tickled her neck. They stood there like that for a while, even the baby was still in the moment. When he pulled away, Ada held her breath until he walked away and shut the door behind him. 

The next morning, there was a bottle of argon oil on her nightstand. 

Another night found them sprawled on opposite end a of the couch, Ada's feet resting in Erik's lap while he rubbed them for her. She was reading names from a new baby names book. Erik has hated all the names in the other one. Emma and Jessica wasn't gonna cut it for his baby girl. 

"What about Zuri?"

Erik made a face. "Absolutely not." Ada looked at him questioningly before rolling her eyes. 

"Amara?" 

"Eh." 

"Amaya?" No response. "Makena?" Again no response. She looked up from the book. "Look. We need a name." Erik continues rubbing her feet, staring intensely at her white toes. "I can pick a name without you if you don't want to do this?"

Erik kissed his teeth. "Just keep going. I'll know it when I hear it." 

Ada sighed. "Nala?"  "Too Lion King." She snorted. 

"I didn't even think about that. Nia?" 

"Nah." 

"Nuru? It means filled with light." She thought maybe telling him the meanings would stir something in him. 

He hummed, a good sign, so Ada used the colorful tabs she had to mark the name and page. 

As she flipped through the pages, another name caught her eye. "Hey what about Sade? It means 'honor bestows a crown'? I think it's appropriate since her daddy's a prince." 

Erik looked at her finally. "Sade," he tested. "Sade Isabella? For your grandma?"

Tears came to her eyes. Ada wished her grandmother could meet her. "Yeah that sounds great." 

"Ada," Erik's voice woke her up out of her sleep and she opened bleary eyes to peer at him. 

"Wha izit 'rik?" She mumbled. It had been a long day at the daycare and at thirty-nine weeks, Ada was getting too big to be running after all the kids there. 

"Come on, we're gonna do a test drive to the hospital."

Ada thought she might have misheard him before grabbing her phone from the nightstand. "Nigga. It's two thirty in the morning. Now isn't the time to be having drills and shit." 

Erik kissed his teeth. He was gonna stop that shit before she gave him something to kiss his teeth over. "The baby could come at any moment. Better for us to practice than to be struggling to figure out the best route the day of." Ada whined. "Come on Ada." He pulled her to sit up, tugging her coat around her, pulling her arms through the sleeves. By the time he kneeled to put her shoes on, Ada was more awake and rubbing her eyes to clear the fog. 

Erik stopped to pick up a bag tucked into the front hall closet. "What's in the bag?" 

"It's your hospital bag." Ada looked at the bag. It was a black duffle, bulging with things. She knew his worried ass overpacked but she was too tired to fight him on it. She hadn't started to pack for herself so she might as well use his bag as a blueprint. She'd sift through it and eliminate the unnecessary items later.

He helped her gingerly down the stairs—the elevator moved too slow for his liking—before he tucked her carefully into the passenger seat of a car she'd never seen before. She looked at him questioningly. 

Erik looked shy. "I can't carry a car seat or stroller in the Porsche." Ada turned to look into the back and sure enough there was a backward facing car seat in the center seat—the safest place according to his best friend, Google—and a mirror attached to the headrest. She knew if she looked in the trunk, she'd find a matching stroller. 

Ada turned back to him. "Is this what you do when I'm at work? When did you get this?" 

Erik began driving, navigating the larger vehicle just as well as he did his old car. "I picked it out and had someone pick it up when it was tricked out the way I wanted. They dropped it off here for me." Ada just shook her head and settled in for the fifteen minute drive to hospital. 

When they got back home, Ada felt almost dead on her feet, grateful Erik had pulled this shit on a weekend. She watched him start settling in on the couch but it didn't feel right to her. She wanted him next to her in bed. She was tired of fighting herself when she just wanted to be up under him. 

"You need something baby girl?" 

"You." He blinked a few times. "I mean. The couch isn't that comfortable. You could come in the bed if you want." She was nervous. 

Erik surprised her. After staring at her for a few beats too long, he rose to his feet, gesturing for her to proceed him in the room. The room felt smaller with him in it and she absently noted they still had their respective sides of the bed. Erik's eyes stayed on hers as he undressed, pulling his jacket off and his shirt over his head in a way that was so familiar to Ada. She started to follow suit, unzipping her coat and stepping out of her shoes. She was already in her pajamas, not having gotten properly dressed for their excursion. Erik maintained eye contact as he untied the string of his sweatpants and dropping them. Ada quickly averted her eyes, worried that he going without draws again. 

She snuck a peek. Boxer briefs. Not that much better. 

Ada crawled under the sheets laying on her back and feeling Erik do the same. The air was heavy between them. This was not what she pictured when she invited him in her bed. Okay. She wasn't ready for what she'd imagined but she still expected more than the uncomfortable feeling swirling in the air. 

"Come here," Erik's voice rumbled next to her before he shifted her into a position they were familiar with. He was the big spoon, the lines of his body pressed into her back, his arm under her head and his other arm sling across her hips. Ada was content, beginning to drift off when she felt his calloused hand shove her sleep shirt up. He settled his hand on the bare skin of her belly, rubbing. Sade nudged back before settling on the side where her daddy's hand was. Ada fell into a deep sleep after that.

H - hugs [Do they like to huggies?]

• If you're a regressor who doesn't like being touched (this includes cuddles), she knows well enough to back off (but you know how much of a hugger Nina is, so you try to make progress with being hugged, even if Nina says it's okay)

• But if you're a regressor who loves hugs, Nina will give you so many hugs through the day!

I - imaginary [How imaginative are they?]

• Being friends with The Movers, Nina knows imagination is important, so she's always encouraging you to use your imagination in whatever you're doing

N - night [How do they spend nights with their regressor? (when regressed)]

• To unwind after a busy day, you usually watch a movie or Nina reads to you

O - overprotective [Are they more overprotective, underprotective, or somewhere in the middle?]

• Nina's so protective of you, and always fusses over you if you get hurt!

• Nina calls you "keiki" which is Hawaiian for little one!

Q - quality time [How much time do they usually spend with their regressor? Do they live with them or visit?]

• Since she's your main caregiver, she knows your emotions (like if you were having a meltdown) and knows exactly what you need if you tell her!

W - warmth [Do they provide physical warmth to their regressor, such as giving blankets or cuddling? Do they make their regressor feel warm and secure, mentally?]

• You always feel warm and secure around Nina mentally, and as for physical warmth, you always enjoy getting hugs from her, and if you don't like hugs or cuddles, she'll wrap you in your favorite blanket!

X - (e)xtra [Additional headcanons?]

• When you called Nina "mama" for the first time, she started crying because giving nicknames for your caregivers was new, and in calling her "mama", you felt safe around her, but you always felt safe around her since day one!

• Before becoming your caregiver, she got a crash course on age regression from Smitty, as well as doing her own research

Y - yummy [What are their favorite meals to make for their regressor? Are they good at cooking and/or baking?]

• Nina's so good at making your favorite meals, and has them memorized (your favorite meal is her special grilled cheese sandwiches)!

• She's also good at baking, and makes so many yummy desserts!

Z - ZzZ [Do they take naps with their regressor? What are some sleep habits of theirs?]

If she's really tired, she'll take naps, and sometimes you join her with Dolly because she told you that naps were important!

Emi, Epel and Harveston

You can find more information on my yuusona Emi here on the masterlist.

Emi and Epel have the potential to be quite the kindred spirits. Two country people trying to figure it out in the big world, trying to find their place with rules unfamiliar to them.

Like, Emi's home wasn't as remote as Epel's is, but she did grow up on a farm and in a pretty small town - like, to her, escalators are kinda exotic, because she'd only see them in the big town.

Plus there's all these rules of behavior at NRC / Twisted Wonderland that Emi is just very unfamiliar with and has to adjust to, somewhat similar to Epel.

Like, Emi comes from a relatively low hierarchy society. Like yes, there's authority figures, but she's also used to addressing her teachers either as ‘teach’ or by their first names. So she'll probably be coming across ruder than intended especially at first, just because she's not used to all the more respectful forms of address.

Also, the concept of having to respect someone just because they're on a higher grade than her is kinda alien to her, at least to the extent some people at NRC seem to expect it. Like yeah Emi's used to the general ‘younger people looking up to more grown people’ vibe, especially at school & with kids, but not quite in the same way.

Which is yet another thing throwing a wrench into the whole ‘how am I even supposed to act and behave in this world’ problem that Emi's having in general - and which I feel like would resonate with Epel to some extent, too.

However.

All of Epel's gender essentialism will absolutely get Emi to raise her hackles. Like she'll be right there with Vil being all "and what's wrong with something being girly, huh? And why are you gendering all these things anyway?"

Like, Emi's not too often motivated by spite, but like in that meme, if the teacher's asking for "strong boys to carry the chairs" or something like that, she'll be itching to join in, because why should this be about gender anyway, and surely she's no worse than any random guy is?

(Plus if there's a conversation going on with any sort of "all guys this" "all girls that", Emi will be all too happy to butt in with counterexamples and reminders of individual nuance - even if it maybe doesn't make her always look the best to let people know that she sure ain't a natural homemaker, for example. And once they're together with Jamil, she'll definitely be letting folks know how much better he's at cooking and other things than she is.)

Going back to that "growing out in the boonies" bit tho: Harveston would just totally break Emi ngl.

Like at first, it’s like, oh a fun snow adventure to see Epel’s home, oh this place looks interesting, are those some actual mountains, and oh it’s so nice enjoying some proper snowy landscapes (girl’s lowkey wondering if maybe she should ask if they’ve got some skis around that she could borrow, because it's been a while).

(It's been a bit too long since I read the event for me to remember all the things they get up to, but Emi could totally join Epel in teaching the others some snow activities, though sledding's gonna be new to her as well. Or just instigating snow fights (if Emi isn't too worried about some of the folks present *cough* Sebek and Jade *cough* taking things a little too seriously).)

But then there's some of those words and place names that sound so strangely familiar to her, translation magic or not... Weird, huh?

And the first time Emi realizes that some of the foods are very reminiscent of the things she used to eat at home… Girl’s gonna be fighting back tears over her salmon soup and oven pancakes. (It's not like the canon event company is the sort to encourage her to be openly vulnerable, either, so she'll be trying so hard to tamp down all the feels and the wistfulness.)

The opposite of those women laughing alone with salad memes I guess?

Though she will also make sure to ask for the recipes, if she can just get herself together enough to do so without her composure cracking.

Might just have to make the request via Epel later on, to be safe.

Good evening everyone. @jerolk here, giving some details on the various ways into DreamingDarkly's head that she can read right now. These are all active triggers/suggestions or ones that I've used in the very recent past

So first we have the standard trance trigger, the whole dropping into trance, falling away, etc. By far the most versatile of the ways that I can work with. Taking her extremely deep usually means she can't respond to you beyond a yes, no, think so, or ok. Not a place to be if you don't know for sure exactly what you want to do, or in her case, how she'll perceive it. In a medium level of trance, she's much more talkative, and generally helpful in brainwashing herself by giving opinions and sharing thoughts when asked. Absolutely the most time consuming method though, as even simpler concepts can take an hour to get across at times.

Next, we have the visualizer method. After some shopping around we chose one that has no old associations with it, and I've been working on strengthening the response (feeling happy, relaxed, horny, fixated, open, and more vulnerable than even the deepest trance). When shown the visualizer website (nimja!), and the right trigger phrase, she opens the page and learns the Truth, something that has to be drained out of her later or slept on to deactivate. She repeats back the Truth in discord as she learns it, so I can keep an eye on her and reassure her that I'm still there and haven't left her. Due to the nature of the site though, shorter phrases are better absorbed. It's not a method for complex ideas, but for things like making her sluttier, or killing her embarrassment, it's great. I have a snipped imgur gif of it as well, but it's not as easy to use as a quick fixation and induction when the words aren't dead center of the visualization. That part is a work in progress.

Next we have big tits making her more suggestible in general. Combine that with a hallucination trigger to make her see her tits growing, and you have a very solid way of twisting her logic through conversation. Some of my better work has come out of these times, and the suggestions given here tend to stay for quite a while. It's very rewarding when it works, but her and I have some talking to do when it comes to what the work "suggestible" means.

The same affect as above, only magnified occurs when she thinks she's sucking cock. This one is newer but is showing itself to be very useful. Big tits draw someone's attention, but sucking cock is an active process. Active processes make it easier to focus, and more focus means deeper suggestibility. Also, she finds cum doing things to her (making her dumber, her tits grow, her being more distracted, etc) very hot.

Last but not least, we have a trigger that makes whatever I told her last to be more true to her than it was before (not true to alittle true, alittle true to true, and true to very true). This is done while she's awake and aware, and she can feel her opinions changing. This often leads to a very consensual non-consent situation, because I know she finds it very hot to be mind control "live", but its still strange and probably low-key horrific to feel your mind twisting under the words of someone else. Still, she's really enjoying it, and so am I, so we'll keep using it.

Oh, and her reinforcement file. It's a text document that when triggered she drops into a light trance, reads and absorbs, then rubs herself right to the edge of a massive orgasm before waking up and cumming, so the orgasm hits her waking mind, leaving her aching for that feeling again. It's a way to outline things in detail but also simply that I want to keep fresh and rolling as we play, and where stuff like those blog triggers are headed.

And that's about the long and short of it right now. If you wonderful people have questions, hit me with them.
