I mean when I saw the option I had to choose this one. There's no other option. One of my absolute favorites. Especially after convincing you Sky is actually just as bad. Curious to hear your commentary. Keep being awesome!

You snapped your head in the direction of the voice with wide eyes, freezing in place like a dear in headlights. Sky sprints in our direction, slapping your hand and scattering the berries all over the forest floor. "Are you crazy?!""Sky?""Do you even know what kind of berries those are? What if they're poisonous?! You don't just eat things you find growing around you!" He's panicking. Sky paces the space you. His hands flutter all around you, touching you gently but thoughtfully. He checks your pulse, your temperature, your reaction time- he checks if you're swelling or not."Sky, I'm ok." You say after a choked minute."Are you?" He checks your forehead again, resting he back of his hand against your cheek. "Are you sure?"You hesitate to respond. He is very close right now. His nose is only inches away from yours. And his eyes- were they always that blue?You take a step back.Sky seems to catch on and gasps. "Sorry. Sorry. I wasn't paying attention. Are you feeling ok?"Truthfully, you're not but you can't let him know that. You nod. "I'm fine. I already ate one. So I think they're fine to eat. Otherwise, I might be dealing with food poisoning-" He opens his mouth to interject but you hold your hand up, stopping him."-later. I feel perfectly fine right now."He frowns. "I don't trust it.""We can bring back a twig for one of the others to try and identify it." You offer, pointing in the direction of the little bush. "I think Wild's Sheikah Slate would be able to figure something out. I saw him use it to name a few animals a while ago. Maybe it can do the same with plants."Sky doesn't seem to convinced but he can't find an argument fast enough. "...Alright. But I don't trust it. The second you start feeling well, you have to tell someone, ok?"That actually doesn't sound too appealing to you. "...Why?" You chuckle nervously. "No one has to know-""Yes, we do." Sky presses. "Otherwise no one is going to know how to properly treat you just cause you're embarrassed to be just as bad as the Champion.""In his defense, he's not that bad." You roll your eyes."Then tell Twilight what you did.""Hell no"

If you wanna read what this ask is talking about, It's right here.

Oh that one!! I'm glad you liked it. XD

Now for this one, I knew that Sky would be a mother hen of sorts so I wanted to get across how often/deeply he worries for others. As usual, I wanted to bridge Point A and Point B with some dialogue/story telling.

That being said, I couldn't help but take a stab or two at the typical chaos that we know and love because Sky is not the biggest mother hen of the group and Reader is not the most reckless. XD

Who are your top 3 favorite KH characters? ✨

I'm going to try not to ramble on this forever but thank you so much for sending this ask in! I apologize in advance for the can of worms you have opened.

Vidar (Spoilers for Dark Road incoming) Probably the least surprising thing, but currently Vidar is my top favorite. I'm fairly new to the mobile games, and full disclosure, I did not like him when I first saw him. Eraqus was so upset by Vor leaving (even though it was her own choice) that I genuinely felt for him, and therefor didn't approve of Vidar "taking" her away. But continuing the story and learning that he and his friends were so close to achieving what they had been training for for years, only for it to end in the death of not one of his friends, but four of them. And he can't bring himself to strike down what caused their deaths, because Baldr is just a kid and he (presuming that one line was about Hoder) can't bear to face her if something happened to him after she died trying to protect him His character is interesting, he's got a killer design, you can tell how much he cared about his friends, and the tragedy of risking everything to save someone for your friend, only to die by that person's hand trying to protect the friends you have left. I could talk about him for 22 hours a day.

Saix/Isa I know I don't post about him a lot, but Saix (or Isa) has been one of my favorite characters since my friend introduced me to Kingdom Hearts when I was a kid. If it wasn't for Vidar, he'd still be in the top spot! There's just something about how ruthless he was in kh2 and Days. How brutally honest and blunt his deliveries were, and how his boss fight involves catching you off guard with mechanics that don't seem to suit what you've seen of him until you really look at it and realize it does. His relationship with Axel is hilarious on surface level and depressing when you go deeper. His relationship of being Xemnas' right-hand man (next to Xigbar) while also plotting to betray him is so intriguing. And then seeing those sharp eyes and the barbed words and the ruthlessness in him and seeing those compared to the kid who made fun of his best friend and wanted to explore places he wasn't supposed to be in and help someone he had just met is heartbreaking. I loved his redemption in kh3, subtle in the background as it was, and I'm hoping to see more of him trying to be a better person and make it up to Roxas and Xion in 4.

Zexion/Ienzo This one caught me so off guard. I had gotten back into the fandom after a long while and was replaying through the old games to get caught up and Zexion blindsided me in Re:CoM. He was secretive and quiet, but really held no animosity towards Sora or Riku. Which, compared to the rest of the Organization in the castle, stood out a lot. Considering this, he really didn't deserve the death he got, which is still pretty brutal for a Kingdom Hearts death. Then he comes back and immediately throws everything he has into helping the heroes. They were more of a means to an end before, rather than true enemies, and despite their reservations about him he has no problems spending all of his time and resources into helping them stop Xehanort. He was just a kid when he helped start the fall of Radiant Garden but he still feels so guilty and wants to atone so badly. Plus you get extra angst in the "didn't have a heart for 10 odd years and now suddenly has one and is feeling" department.

Runner ups include: Baldr, Vali, Xaldin/Dilan, Vexen/Even, and Terra!

🎧 — do you write while listening to music/podcasts/videos/etc, or do you need total silence?

munday asks! / accepting!

Ohh, this is such a good question!

I need music to write! I can't fathom how people sit in either camp of needing silence or listening to videos/podcasts because both sound horrendous to me. I find the former too stifling and the latter far too distracting. My thoughts tend to be a jumbled mess I'm trying to wrangle into some kind of coherence, so I can't afford to let them get away from me LOL.

Music, however, has enough rhythm and flow that I can end up tuning out to the lyrics but also pull them back if I need to channel a particular kind of 'feeling' to achieve whatever I want to transpose onto paper. More often than not, a lot of my edits and drabbles centre around a song or series of songs because I've had a brainwork from sticking it on repeat, or I know it'll achieve some kind of effect in my brain if I'm working with a prompt (looking at you xivwrite).

It's why I have character playlists for pretty much all my ocs. Kor's is the biggest at 408, but the rest have at least 50 or more. They tend to all link to a loose theme that relates to their characterisation, so it makes it easier for me to channel them.

Unless it's a meme song, which can be a bit distracting if I'm really into it. Still, there's always a reason something is there - even if I'm the only one who gets why.

[nateslehky]

For the kiss prompt, no. 38!!! for 829

38.…because they’re running out of time.

"Cale, cm'here."

The quiet mumble brushes the edge of Cale's barely awake mind, soft but insistent, coaxing him to consciousness.

"Mhmmm," grumbles Cale.

A weight falls across his back, followed by fingers digging gently into his side, pulling him close. Nate nuzzles into the crook of his neck, his breath warm against Cale's skin as he asks, "Are you awake?"

"No," says Cale groggily, his voice muffled by his pillow.

His dream had been good. It had involved him and Nate, he knows for sure. All the best ones do.

He remembers the warmth of the sun against their skin, Nate's burned a cherry red from its too hot touch. He remembers the creak of wood as they swung on the porch swing at Cale's childhood home. He remembers the feeling of contentment, time stretching before them and behind them, practically infinite.

The taste of coffee still lingers on his tongue and Nate's laugh still echoes in his ear and the breeze still tickles his neck, if he could just fall back asleep--

"I have to leave soon," admits Nate quietly against his collarbone.

"What?" asks Cale, his eyes shooting open, suddenly wide awake. He turns his head until his gaze finds the familiar blue of Nate's irises, feeling himself settle just a little bit, even as his heart continues to beat rapidly in his chest. "What time is it?"

He tries to sit up, reaching for his glasses and scrambling for his phone, but Nate tightens his grip around his side until he settles back down.

"Almost eight," says Nate. "I need to leave by eight thirty."

He doesn't need to say the second half. Cale knew that. Knows that.

He always knows when Nate has to leave.

Cale frowns and gives a little shake of his head. "We were supposed to wake up at six," he says. "I remember setting the alarm. We were supposed to have breakfast, I bought--"

He quiets as Nate reaches a hand between them, the soft pad of his thumb smoothing the crease between his brow. His hand falls to Cale's cheek, cradling Cale's jaw as he leans forward.

The touch of his lips is featherlight, but the weight of the emotions behind it feels heavy.

When Nate pulls back just slightly, his lips still ghosting Cale's, Cale closes his eyes and tries to take a deep breath, but his whole body trembles with it. This never gets any easier.

He presses forward, deepening the kiss to prevent himself from asking Nate to stay. He can't do that. He wouldn't do that.

But still, his fingers twist into Nate's shirt as though his feeble grip will be enough to keep him here, in his bed and at his side, for just a little while longer.

"We were supposed to have more time," he says quietly, his throat clogged with too many emotions to name.

"I know," says Nate. What else is there to say? "I know."

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers (except me because obvs I have done it). Spread the self-love ❤

Hii!!

Ugh self rec XDDD These are always so hard a;ldkjflskdjfj.

Hmmmm.

For Now (what I'm currently writing, has the potential to be my first completed multi-chapter fic)

Something in the Darkness (there's not enough of these two around)

What We'll Find (old enemies reminiscing together is a fave trope of mine)

A Step Faster (wishful self-indulgent thinking XD)

6 (my first serious attempt at a multi-chapter fic and my first fully fleshed-out OC; incomplete, but has a special place in my heart)

[stucky-fic-idea-bank]

K so I had this idea for a fic, and I would love to actually write it but it's so far out of my wheelhouse that I'd do one (or more) of the following: push off writing it forever, spend ages researching, write it but never end up being happy with how it comes out.

But I would love love love to read it if someone else writes it!

So my idea is a modern AU, and both Steve and Bucky are on tiktok.

Steve (stevegrrr) is Skinny!Steve and disabled; he mostly adapts recipes for different dietary needs (often by request) but also sometimes reviews disability aids or shows how different things (baking, but also household, community, hobby, etc. things) could be adapted. He's in New York, baking from his college apartment, and has a successful Patreon where he posts unedited videos, outtakes, and videos of his roommates (Morita, Gabe) guessing which versions of his bakes are the original or the modified recipes and rating them.

Bucky (callmebucky) is broody Post-Azzano!Bucky; he bakes recipes from the 1920s, 30s, and 40s. He's in Indiana, maybe isn't super happy there.

Steve's and Bucky's followers keep saying they should do a collab, and eventually Steve reaches out and invites Bucky to come to New York for that.

Bucky likes NY and Steve, moves to NY.

They don't do any more collabs but Bucky is there off-camera sometimes when Steve is filming, and vice versa. And their followers start noticing clues, like someone thinks they hear Steve talking or laughing in the background of Bucky's video, or Steve wears a sweatshirt he stole from Bucky and someone remembers that Bucky once wore it in a video X weeks ago. Then all their followers become detectives, e.g. "It can't be the same day as the collab because the calendar is turned to the next month." or "Can't be the same because Steve's bruise is a different color." (if Steve is physical fighty and not just words fighty on the internet)

Eventually, Bucky and Steve announce that they are dating (maybe with another baking collab that's too cheesy for Bucky's liking but he'd do anything for Steve and Steve wants to do it, so).

And yeah, that's it.

The biggest reasons why I don't think I could do it justice is because I'm not on tiktok or any other video-based social media platforms so know little about them, and also because I think it would be best told in part via video transcripts and comments on the videos, and [see reason 1].

Thoughts?

^^^^

Yearning + Lucifer

➳ lucifer x gn!reader (no pronouns mentioned) ; taking place during the early days of nightbringer ; angst

it's hard, having him so close. hard, knowing every intimacy, every preference, every thought that passes over his face. it’s hard, that he’s your everything, but to him, you’re nothing.

to lucifer, you’re nothing more than a watchful eye. another unwelcome constraint put upon him by diavolo, another meddling demon. and it shows in his cool actions, so different from what you’re used to.

a constant, harsh reminder that he’s not your lucifer. and you’re definitely not his mc.

too often, you catch yourself wanting to indulge in old habits. to coak him to bed, to hug him from behind, to welcome him home with a kiss. but you always stop yourself, a relief and a heartbreak all at once.

he’s lucifer, but not yours. you’re mourning a living person, and it’s torture.

❝ i knew i could count on you. ❞

@luposcainus: "i knew i could count on you."

⟶ accepting prompts! (high fantasy, mature themes, dark)

A yank of the rope around his middle was about as secure as he was going to get. Being that he was in a place where he wasn't quite familiar, keeping his wings hidden was the move, so flight couldn't aid him on this quest today.

“I knew I could count on you.”

Daemon handed the sturdy rope to Caspian, a sign of wry in the glint of his dual-colored eyes. "Hold tight, Caspian, and don't start celebrating just yet. Your confidence might be misplaced." A pessimist by nature, the aasimar had to be realistic when it came to tasks like these.

As he prepared to descend down the cliff, the cold wind nipped his flesh and tousled his hair. "Remind me once more, what exactly does this plant of yours look like? Don't want to end up with something poisonous," Daemon remarked, glancing up at his counterpart. The opening of the cave yawned below, its mystery ready to swallow him whole.

Hello!

I've been lurking for a few months but wanted to say how much I love your work. I'm sorry for us shy lurkers I guess I never know what to say especially cause I feel like I'm much older than most of the fandom I see.

I appreciate all your hard work and you've inspired me to start writing again! I'll do my best to keep sending you notes and appreciation.

Signed a shy and awkward poodle 🐩

Age matters not in fandom. We're all here to have fun because we love the same universes of adventure and story. :D

I'm glad you got into writing again!!

I'm happy to meet you Poodle!!!

[tdbowie]

zoeyy

Sexuality Headcanon: bisexual zoey :)

A NOTP I have with said character: doey... get duncan AWAY from her

A random headcanon: zoey and sierra are mutuals on tumblr. tumblrina zoey is real to me

General Opinion over said character: for the most part i'm neutral on zoey! i liked her way more in roti than all stars, but i think that's a pretty common sentiment. her design is..... one of my least favourites i'll admit. she WILL kiss girls aaaand post

[dmitryanya]

top 5 superheroes

put “top 5” anything in my ask and i will answer ok go!

Ooooh tough one, let's go, in no particular order !!

Steve Rogers / Captain America

Carol Danvers / Captain Marvel

Janet Van Dyne / The Wasp

Rogue / X-Men

Diana Prince / Wonder Woman ( though these days it's a toss up between her and superman but 90% of these choices depend on which version of the character we're talking about and how they're written!! )

[allthepandasintheworld]

i demand all the rene factoids!!

agjhskldjfhls okok uh

rene is a huge fan of dime store romances. like, the trashier the better. he projects onto the protagonists, without realizing that in all honesty, he shares a lot more in common with the 'dark and brooding' love interest type. in modern AU, he's on booktok. he pretends that he's there ironically, but in truth he's not. cringelord. i love him. him and alois are both very cheesy romance novel love interest-coded, although personally i think alois is a little more protagonist-coded than rene is.

[imhereonthekitchenfloor]

Target said yes

LOVER PLATYPI ARE ONLY $8?!?!??! Swifties, see you at eras tour with this one!!!

[whysamwhy123]

happy birthday sam!! sucks to hear its been shitty :( if you want a lil distraction, i'm very intrigued by 'Business/Pleasure' orrr 'I Could Be Your Kitten' hehe

Thank you ever so much! A much appreciated distraction indeed! I'm gonna go with the second suggestion because someone else has sent me the first (but, uh, you should definitely check Business/Pleasure out because that's the Ricky/Christian thing *winks*) Funnily enough, you picked both of the Sugar Baby AUs 🤣 Look, we all have our Things, OK? I haven't actually started this one, the doc is just a summary and scattered ideas, so I'll ramble about it under the cut!

OK, so, in short, this is an OrangeHook Sugar Baby AU, inspired by a manga I was obsessed with back in the day. It would probably have to be very smutty which isn't in my wheelhouse at all but I still really like the idea and would maybe like to give it a go sometime?

Jim (using his shoot name because they're not wrestlers here and I always feel a little weird calling him Orange in fics) is a successful architect, living a comfortable but lonely life in NYC. But then one day on his way home from a late night at the office, it's pouring rain and he finds a poor stray kitten all alone! And by 'kitten', I mean a 24-year-old man who insists his name really is Hook. Jim's never been able to leave well enough alone, and the kid's soaking wet with nowhere to go and clearly starving, so he takes the stray kitten back to his place, fully expecting to just give him a hot meal and then send him on his way once the rain stops. But turns out, this Hook is insanely handsome, charming, and hard to resist so he's able to convince Jim to let him keep him company for the night. And after that, Hook makes sure that Jim never wants him to leave. And so, against his better judgement, Jim lets him live there now as his little boytoy/eye candy/sex object/pet kitten and a good time is had by all! Yes, this is absolute trash but it's my kind of trash, goddamnit!
