13 and 18 for the violence ask game?

13. worst blorboficiation

ooooo that's a tough one. I myself am a huge blorbofier and I tend to stay within my circle of fandom mutuals so there's nothing I've seen that's really egregious to me. (I don't even track the Kingdom Hearts tag like I do for some other stuff I like. Seems scary idk.) I guess if I had to pick something I'd say it's a little confusing and frustrating to see people portaying the Master of Masters as a good dad. I'm all for him making the effort and all but he's a faildad who severely traumatized his kids so they'd absorb the worst vibes known to man (the Darknesses) this is key.

18. it's absolutely criminal that the fandom has been sleeping on…

If I had to pick something... I really do think Namine needs to be in more Heart Hotel stuff. She's made of Sora too! She's Roxas' twin sister! How do you write a fic about Roxas without having Namine content honestly

[composeregg]

(for the fave fics ask) fear not the song will always be in my bookmarks!! the vibes of it all is just really really good. haunting, even

tell me your favorite fic of mine

tyty!!!! Fear not the Song (Consume the Love it Sings to You) was very fun to write, and I'm proud of it!! Like, I typically write pretty sweet nice joshneku, but there's FLAVOR in it being fucked up that is so fun!!!!

How much of Neku is even left? How much is he just a husk? There is definitely something of him in there, but he's been twisted and warped over time

Bluebell and tigerlily 🙂

*waves enthusiastically* Hello! Thanks for dropping by! <3

bluebell— do you have any pets? if so, what are their names?

I do! Four cats and a dog. (Well, technically the cat's my mom's, and the dog belongs to the entire family, but... that's mostly formalities the way things are now).

Rzodkiew / Rzepa / Rzepiszku / Rzepupu / Kalarepka -- Cat No. 1 (Radish / Turnip / Those two are just gibberish / Little Cabbage Turnip)

Porzeczka (+diminutives that are gibberish) -- Cat No. 2

Junko / Dziunia -- Cat No. 3

Wanda -- Cat No. 4

Benedykt aka Benek -- The Dog

(Some names were omitted. Err, let's say the dog also goes by Comrade, The General Officer, Bebe, and a couple more).

tigerlily— do you have any favorite quotes from any movies, tv shows, books, or poetry? (or from people in real life)

Hmm... The problem with messages I consider valuable is that I tend to remember the point of things, and not the way they were exactly delivered, and that I generally focus on what was said, not on who said it.

There was this part about "blooming where you were sown", but I don't remember who said that, or I could perhaps go look up that part from Poetics that I carry under my skin, or go find a good passage from Ferdydurke, or make myself look smarter through picking something said by stoics. But that's not entirely the point, I suppose.

Akira's Birthday 2023!! ( Feb 26th but accepting through 3/3 )

@divinitysheart said: " …Happy birthday, birthday twin. " She hadn't expected initially that they'd share the same birthday, in fact the way she found out was by pure accident. But she's quickly handing him just a simple ( coughs, detailed ) yet nice drawing of him and Mona that quite frankly looked like she had spent a week or so perfecting. " I don't mention my birthday much either but uh, I thought maybe you wouldn't mind a small gift. " - namine

"Yeah I guess sharing a birthday with someone who is a darkness affiliated magic user isn't what you were expecting I am sure". He makes a joke about it but still it's ironic that the curse based demon / shadow fighter had shared a birthday with someone who was more light affiliated.

Anyways, Akira takes the gift in hand. He is glad that it's something that he enjoys as he loves any of the artwork his friend Yusuke gives him, whether it be a sketch or something a little more detailed like this gift was. Akira himself doodle a little on the chalkboard at his previous school with the Phantom Thieves logo but that was it in his artistic ability as he rather play instruments such as a piano more than draw in the umbrella that was fine arts.

"Well, thanks for the gift. I now can point to this when Morgana denies that he isn't a cat since it's all in high definition". He still is going with the jokes but still appreciates the thought in the gift. Akira makes sure the picture isn't going to get ruin by gently rolling the piece of it and putting the gift in a tube as not to destroy all the hard work this still strange girl had given him.

A YEAR IN THE MAKING

You know this BIG project I keep mentioning??

A good amount of you have guessed it, some of you know all about it because I've been bouncing ideas off of you to help me with the thought process.

SALAÌ IS GETTING HIS OWN ROUTE!!!!

Long story short.. it was supposed to be 8-10 chapters. It was going to be a speed run route. It's obvs not a real route it can be quick and not so indepth right? Right?

It's 20 chapters. With 3 side stories and an Episode 0.

There were going to be 4 cgs but... Art is pricey and well... honestly.. his route isn't even canon.

In Salaìs route, you, the mc, meet Salaì as he's painting in town. He's there looking for someone but you don't know who. But you get closer to him, going on little dates.. having no choice but to stay at his place for a night, helping him get his art shown in a gallery...and then it falls apart

I will be posting each chapter separately. There will be 3-4 days between each chapter. I will have a tag list. If you are tagged on this post you are already part of it. If you'd like to be part of it just comment saying so.

Minor details: so he has 3 side stories plus the episode 0...those will not be posted here. I've put so much work into this.. literally started August 25th last year...they will be available on Kofi as the chapters related to them are posted. They will only $1. You don't need these side stories for the main story just like in the game so please don't complain about me putting 4 of these behind a pay wall.

Info on the route itself: I will be staying this once I start posting it but through the story I will be calling him Salaì..but for a good part of it he goes by a different name. It shouldn't be confusing but he does have three names after all. Also I said his route isn't canon, meaning his route does not line up with his actual lore. In no way would Salai chose Mc over Leonardo, and I also don't put all of trauma of his in here bc its not really the focus, and like I said.. not even canon. BUT I AM WILLING TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS AT ANY GIVEN TIME. I also have @ask-salai where you can ask questions about it too if you would want HIM to answer and not me.

I REALLY REALLY REALLY HOPE YOU GUYS READ AND INTERACT WITH THIS.

Not trying to be threatening... But if this doesn't do well... I'm not sure if I'll continue writing. This is a years worth of work. Reblogs really do mean a lot to me. I want feedback. I want to know what you guys think.

I still need to proof read it all and doubt check some things but I wanted to get the word out about what I was doing.

A/N: My first Ikevil fic! I loved Harry's route and figured why not ease into writing him by starting with a kiss 💋

Harrison x Reader

WC: 500

Note: I only tagged people who have previously asked to be tagged in everything. If you want to specifically be tagged in Ikemen Villains fics/headcanons, please let me know!

You might think that if you found a man reading by firelight, settled into an expensive leather Ottoman the color of burnished copper, he would be drinking whiskey. Or maybe wine. A rich Irish single malt or perhaps layered, velvety Merlot.

But not your Harry.

He’s drinking strawberry milk. 

The sight of it has laughter bubbling out of you, a soft, almost musical sound and he looks up, his wintergreen eyes suddenly bright as he watches you set down your evening clutch and approach him. The missive he was reading slips from his long fingers, flutters down onto the thick burgundy carpet. There are other, far more important matters that require his attention now.

He reaches for you, strong hands gripping the line of your waist as you boldly straddle his lap, your voluminous maroon skirt spreading across him like a blossoming flower. His smile is slow and unhurried when you lean down, touching your forehead to his. You lock your fingers behind his neck, breathing in the familiar, tangy scent of mint.

“They kept you out far too late,” he murmurs, his voice enveloping you like the softest of cashmere.

“I’m here now,” you answer, falling into the pastel tenderness of his gaze, struck for the hundredth time by just how beautiful he is. You glance over at the glass of pale pink milk he’s set down on the end table. “How’s your nightcap?” You’re teasing him and he loves it.

Gently pulling you closer, his eyes flutter closed like a butterfly closing its brilliant wings. “C’mere and have a taste.”

His lips are sweet, like strawberries kissed by summer sunshine. His palms slide down to feel the curve of your hip through your skirt, his grip tightening, pulling you closer still. Your hands unlock and you wrap both arms fully around him, melting into the hard planes of his body. He kisses you slowly, as if he has all the time in the world, a hedonist indulging himself in the most heady of pleasures. He savors each kiss, languid and almost lazy in the movement of his lips, the slide of his tongue against yours. 

“Harry…” His name, that cherished and precious word, is a whisper, a twinkle of starlight in the night. Twin tendrils of the softest affection and the brightest desire are twined around it. He drops his head, burying his face into the warm curve of your neck, pressing his lips against the place where your heart is drumming just for him. He doesn’t need to open his eyes because in your arms, there is nothing but truth. He feels it in the way your fingers push their way through his tawny hair. He hears it in the stuttering breath that escapes you. He tastes it on your lips and smells it on your skin.

He rises, effortlessly lifting you into his arms, holding you close against his chest as his long legs swallow the distance to your bedroom. You cling to him, press a kiss to his cheek as he carries you, not caring where you’re going. 

After all, in his arms, you are always home.

[one-idea]

Spades in Thriller Bark part 1

This is part of my idea that Masked Deuce, Mihar, and Skull follow Ace in his quest to

Meeting Brook

The day starts out fairly normal. Well as normal as things can be on the sunny with 2 members of the ASL brotherhood on board.

That is until a they find a sea offering. Both Robin (archeologist and most experienced of both crews) and Skull (pirate enthusiast) explain what the sea offering is and what the crew should do if they want to open the crate up.

Luffy offers a quick prayer of “god we’re stealing your stuff.” Which gets a roll of the eyes from Ace, and a chuckle from the other Spades. Until Zoro responds with “now your praying to god? Didn’t you beat up god on sky island? Don’t pray to god he’s a jerk.” And now Ace and the spades have so many questions, because what do you mean Luffy fought god?

But they aren’t going to have the opportunity to ask any of those questions because the barrel explodes sending Luffy flying as a giant red orb appears over the ship. Everyone tenses up, waiting for an attack. Ace is super stressed because what if Blackbeard saw that?

But they can’t worry for long because Nami is yelling about a storm and the Spades are looking around at the Strawhats like they are crazy as they run around prepping for a storm that isn’t visible. Yes the Grandline is knows for quick weather but no one predicts it that far in advance. Except Nami is right. Luffy laughs at their shock, “my navigator is the best! Nami always knows when a storms going to hit.

They survive the storm but end up in the Florian Triangle, where they come upon a ghost ship.

Luffy is ready to jump aboard. But the cowards trio is freaking out, until they realize everyone else is ready to leave them behind on the ship and go to the ghost ship. Even all of the Spades are ready to go. This is great for Deuces book, Mihar and Ace want an adventure, and Skull is #1 pirate enthusiasts, a ghost boat is a dream for him.

Zoro steps in as the responsible person. He knows he can’t stop Luffy or Ace seeing as both brothers are ready to jump ship. But he can send some responsible people with them while also defending the ship. They draw straws and the party jumping to the ship is Luffy, Ace, Nami, Sanji, and Skull.

When they get over there and meet Brook, Ace is not the least bit surprised that Luffy asks him to join his crew. Zoro tries to shame the four of them when they return to the Sunny for letting Luffy bring back a “pet skeleton” but Ace looks at him and says “do you really think anyone can stop Luffy once he’s picked out a Namaka?” No the answer is no.

They sit down with Brook and get to know him. Deuce is furiously writing down notes about the skeleton’s life while the others listen to his sad tale.

That is until they run into a wall. When they realize they are trapped Ace is relieved, It’s not Blackbeard, but it is an unknown threat. And he’s been inching to fight something for a while. He hasn’t had a good fight since Blackbeard (and that wasn’t a good fight) the silly ice skating bounty hunters do not count as a good fight either.

The first split up.

Nami Usopp, Chopper, and Skull go to the island.

When Franky shows them the Mini Merry, Nami, Usopp, Chopper and Skull take it for a joy ride. They end up trapped on the island.

Most to their adventure is the same except there is no creeping on Namin in the bathroom. Skull has a weird array of knowledge and he has a bad feeling about this place. When Nami says she’s going to take a bath, skull argues that their could be ghost, or moving painting that could be watching her and talks her out of going.

Basically skull prevents a lot Nami’s problems. The creepy dude is still there but he’s got to get through skull to get to Nami. And it’s not that skulls over protective, he’s just got a weird patchwork of knowledge. He’s just lucking out that it’s all applicable in this situation

Luffy Ace, Franky Mihar, Robin, Zoro, Sanji, and Deuce follow

They chase after the four who went on the mini merry.

Creepy dude messes with them on the boat. But when he grabs Robin, the multiple arms she puts up to hold him back gives Ace a pretty good idea of where the creep is and he’s able to fire fist the man off the Sunny.

The go to shore and Ace isn’t even surprised when Luffy takes the fake Cerberus. Mihar, Deuce and Franky are but no one else. If anything it makes walking to the castle easier as they are all taking turns riding the thing.

Ace makes getting to the castle a lot easier as he’s just torching his way through the zombies. They run from him in terror.

When they get to the castle, they do start losing crew members. The spiders are still able to pick people off

Sanji and Mihar get taken at the same time

Zoro gets nabbed

Deuce

Luffy

They can’t get Ace, he would burns through the webs. Moria originally wanted Ace’s shadow for Ora but Luffy was easier to catch.

They are fighting through the herd of zombie generals and Ace is already furious. They are missing so many people. He just lost Deuce and he and Luffy just got separated. He sees Robin and yells to her to get Luffy and Franky out and he torches the room. He runs out to meet up with them only to find Luffy missing. His heart stops for a moment until he hears Luffy yelling. He loooks up to see the coffin holding Luffy being pulled across the the castle. He’s about to go after it but is stopped by the spider monkey.

Franky destroys the bridge, him and Robin working together to avoid falling to their death. Ace uses his devil fruit to fly up. He gives them a hand, so Robin doesn’t step on Franky’s face to save herself, instead being caught by Ace, while Franky is able to pull himself to the ledge.

Brook purifies the spider monkey

Ace, Franky and Robin meet with Brook. When they learn what has happened to their friends, that Moria has stolen their shadows, Ace is furious. But he’s also so worried. If they don’t defeat Moria he’ll lose Luffy and Deuce! (As well as Zoro, Sanji, and Mihar)

They return to the ship, picking up Usopp, Chopper, and Skull on the way. Once they get there and find their friends safe and sound they debrief and plan their next move.

Ace wants to rush Moria and deep fry that man. How dare he take Luffy, Deuce and the other’s shadows. How dare he endanger Ace’s loved ones.

Deuce stops him. “Remember what happened the last time you ran off without a plan?” He’s not trying to rub salt in the wound, but he wants Ace to think things through, and depend on the people around him.

“Come on Ace I want to kick Moria’s ass!” Luffy calls. And Ace remembers just who he’s with. He can trust these people. He’s still scared. If they don’t succeed by sunrise he could lose his little brother, their crewmates and Deuce. But he’s…no they aren’t going to fail.

Attack formation

Luffy and Ace are going after Moria

Ussop, Chopper, Robin, Skull, and Mirah are going after Nami

Zoro, Deuce, Franky, are going to help Brook.

Ora’s breaks the building sending Sanji, Skull and Usopp down.

Robin, Chopper and Mihar

fight against Dr. Hogback. Mihar trying to snipe the salt into Zoro, Deuce, Mihar, and Sanji’s zombies while Robin and Chopper try to set him up. (Part of me wants to put Deuce here because of Chopper’s rage at Dr. Hogback as a doctor. It might be fun to have the other doctor there as well, still making decisions)

Luffy and Ace

run ahead to fight Moria. And the fight really freaks Ace out, when Moria’s shadow appears all he can think of is the last fight he was in when a dark shape was throwing him around. He knows it’s not Teach but so a second he’s thrown off, it’s enough for Moria’s shadow to get a cheep shot in and for Luffy to step in to protect him. And now Ace is angry, at himself for having Luffy protect him, and at this creep for taking Luffy and the other’s shadows. (To be fair he was already mad about that)

The two of them are tied up trying to fight Moria.

Usopp

still fight Perona on his own. As he is the only one in the group that her powers don’t work on.

Sanji

still separates to go save Nami (but we’re going to cut his creep dream for the clear clear fruit.

Zoro, Franky, Brook, Deuce, and Skull

Zoro still fights Shimotsuki Ryuma. Franky and Deuce are moving Brook away from the fight. Deuce came along as a doctor to make sure the skeleton was okay. He’s not sure how he would treat Brook if he was hurt but he wanted the option. Skull is with them too and he’s having the best time watching Zoro fight.

Ora arrives

Luffy’s shadow finally combines with Ora and he returned to Moria.

And isn’t it disturbing for Ace to hear his baby brother’s voice, distorted as it is, coming from that monster.

Moria attached not just the Strawhat’s bounty posters but also Ace and the Spade’s.

Ace and Luffy still chase after Moria but everyone else get attacked by Ora.

Fighting Ora

They are all fighting Ora but they are struggling. Franky decides to try out his “Docking” plan. Usopp and Chopper know what’s going on but no one else does. Zoro and Sanji get roped in, but Robin refuses. Deuce and Mirah can’t believe what they are looking at. Franky, Chopper and Usopp call out for Robin to join them, but she refuses. Skull is very excited to take her place, but Ora punch’s Franky before he can.

Zoro’s embarrassed that he just didn’t ‘that’ leads the charge to actually attack Ora. And while the Spades are helping they are also blown away by just how strong this crew is as they knock Ora’s down.

But the giant gets back up. Franky decides to dock again. This time with only Usopp, Chopper, and an enthusiastic Skull. With Sanji’s help they get on top of the beast and start…. Kicking it? Deuce, Robin, Mihar, Zoro, and Sanji are embarrassed that these are their crew mates. But the four are able to get the beast to punch itself in the head so a win a win.

They realize that the thing still acts like Luffy at times and the Strawhats use that to their advantage while the spades follow their lead.

Zoro makes the decision to fight Ora alone. He wants to win, while Usopp argues they should just trust in Luffy and Ace. Zoro does trust Luffy and Ace, but he knows Luffy is gullible. He looks to Deuce and asks if Ace is the same. Deuce says not nearly as bad as Luffy but he is a hot head who rushes in without thinking. Zoro nods and explains that they have to beat Ora. They only have half an hour until sunrise. Beating Ora will give Luffy more time to fight Moria. Even if the sun rise kills Zoro, Sanji, Mihar, and Deuce they will at least have give Luffy the opportunity to win. (Zoro’s idea)

The realization that they are going to burn to death hits Deuce, Mihar, and Sanji like a truck but they all agree to keep fighting. Zoro and Sanji won’t lose their captain. Deuce and Mihar won’t let Ace lose his little brother.

Kuma’s arrival.

He still runs into Nami at the Sunny, sending Perona away.

He asked Nami if it’s true that Stawhat Luffy has a brother, to which she responds and asks if he means Ace.

Now here’s where I need some ideas. How does Teach get to warlord status?

He didn’t. But he told them about Ace’s relationship with to Luffy

He got it by revealing Ace’s heritage and relation to Luffy making both their bounties sky rocket as Teach told the government that Luffy was Ace’s biological brother

Marcos came after him after Ace and the Spades checked in with the Whitebeard. He and teach battled and Marcos lost.

Or a different idea all together (please send me ideas)

@transselkie

I do! I have! So many really not popular to my knowledge ships. Such as the above. I love them so much. I just think they should give each other a lil smooch. Many times.

I'm also a Destiny Islands Trio poly-truther. Those three NEED to sit down and all three need to eat from the same paopu and I will not be convinced otherwise. It's not even like they say "lives intertwined romantically" just intertwined. Please for the sake of every single character just become intertwined forever, Islands Trio.

The only ones I think I like that I know the fandom enjoys to an extent isssss Repliku/Namine and Terra/Aqua*. Other than that I'm like ....points at obscure characters. Ah, those two. (Rai/Olette. Lexaeus/Zexion.)

But Luxord/Demyx is my originally Organization ship. Thank you for asking! I think I was asked about my Demyx ship before but not ships in general. Regardless, he gets the art to accompany the answer.

*I genuinely don't interact with many KH fans so this is based on I don't think they're disliked amongst the fandom but I don't have anything I'm basing it on in reality.

[rosie-kairi]

Hey sup bestie I had a Sad Thought™ thinking about Roxas and I need to share it to the masses.

So you know how in Days/KH II he starts getting super pissed off wanting to know why everyone is lying to him? Why no one is willing to give him any answers? So he goes off on his own and finds Diz and Namine and they tell him the truth and he kinda freaks out?

Well what if before he has to fight Xion, attempts to summon Kingdom Hearts, and get shoved into a digital simulation someone else came to see him? Someone else who treats him like an actual person with respect and feelings?

Roxas is in Twilight Town when he hears someone call his name and he turns around and sees a boy around his age. Curly silver hair, wide blue eyes, red scarf blowing in the wind and an all too friendly smile. Roxas at first sees him as a potential enemy but the boy keeps a cool facade and promises Roxas he's not here to hurt him just to talk and introduces himself as Ephemer.

Roxas relaxes a little and decides to hear this kid out since what else has he got to lose. Eph starts by acknowledging the awful situation Roxas is in and expresses how sorry he is that this has happened, he also validates Roxas' personhood and agrees that Roxas does have the right to exist but he also says that Sora deserves to wake up and live as well. At first this makes Roxas angry thinking Ephemer is trying to manipulate him into giving up his life for some kid he never met.

So Ephemer takes him to a park where they stand to the side and watch a bunch of little kids run around playing with their parents either sitting to the side watching or playing with them. Ephemer asks Roxas what he knows about family's and receives a confused stare back. Family? Isn't that just friends? Ephemer laughs and says while Roxas isn't entirely wrong there is a difference and explains how a family is traditionally the parent's one is born to. This still confuses Roxas so Ephemer starts again.

He explains how Roxas wasn't born like other humans, not only did he come from the heart of a young boy he also came out more or less fully grown as a teen. That all humans start out as little babies born to a mom and dad whose job is to be their caretaker, their teacher, and protect them until the baby grows into an adult and the cycle repeats itself. Roxas at first thinks the organization is his family since technically they do that but Eph says no at best the organization are his legal guardians, parents aren't just who one is born to but also taken care of by someone who deeply loves you.

Maybe at this point they see a kid fall and get hurt, he starts crying and immediately a set of adults come rushing over to help. The Dad picks his son up and cradles him in his arms soothing the boy and wiping away his tears while the Mom cleans the scrap and puts a bandaid on. The parents shower their son with kisses and a reassurance that he's okay now and a warning to be more careful. The boy bounces back quick and scurries off to play with his parents watching him with love and concern.

Ephemer goes on to explain that Sora was born to a set of parents as well, and that for a parent to lose their child is the worst thing that could ever happen to them, speaking from experience from when he was alive and had children of his own. Ephemer tries to paint the picture that Sora isn't inherently more important because he came first, or because so many hearts are connected to his, but that he's still ultimately a little boy with parents anxiously awaiting their son to come back home. And if he never wakes up he'll never see them again.

Roxas slowly starts to understand, he technically doesn't have parents, doesn't have a home, never had a childhood even though he has the equivalent lived experience of a toddler. But he never realized how little he knew about humans and their relationships. Suddenly he felt conflicted, he still didn't want to disappear but after seeing a set of parents take care of their child he couldn't help but wonder did Sora get hurt like that? Or sick? Did his parents take care of his wounds? Soothed his nightmares? If those parents were to lose their son forever could Roxas really be okay with his life?

Ephemer could see the internal struggle and emphasized it's ultimately Roxas' choice what to do and though he didn't say it out loud he did have an ulterior motive. He could feel Ventus' heart housed inside Roxas. After years of mourning and centuries of unrest Ephemer finally found Ven and he knows it's selfish he knows it's not right pushing an innocent boy into this position but he can't leave Ven like this. Ven's heart is still badly damaged and the only way it can heal is to go back and take refuge with Sora again. Ephemer can't help but see the echoes of his long lost friend and brother hidden away and wants Ven to get his second chance that was cruelly taken away. Even if Ephemer can't be there like he wants to he still feels a responsibility to his fellow union leader to protect him in anyway he can.

Looking at Roxas Ephemer can't help but wonder is this what Ven currently looks like? Is he really that grown now? He's finally the same age everyone was when they were to lead the dandelions. It's bittersweet Ephemer is so proud of Ven but also wracked with guilt for not properly keeping him safe and now he's in danger and he's helpless to save him.

When Roxas does ultimately go back to Sora Ephemer is there with him, even if he can't feel or sense him he reassures Roxas that he's not alone and it won't hurt it'll be as easy as falling asleep. He feels so bad about sacrificing Roxas like this but deep down he knows there isn't anything he wouldn't do for the sweet little boy who once faced down Darkness ready to sacrifice himself so his friends could go on. It may be too late for Ephemer and maybe Roxas but it's definitely not too late for Sora or Ven.

imagine meeting someone who will genuinely treat you like the person you know you deserve to be, but you're still not the person they wish you were. You are not a means to an end, but you still are in some way.

anyway. sobbing and crying and throwing up at this thank you

Run To You

Chapter One

January 2023.

Last semester in college. 

Elle’s seniors say it is the most pivotal semester for an accounting student. 

Make it or break it.

It doesn’t help that her mother has been vocal about her being a graduating student. She knows she cannot claim it yet. Elle’s far from being a graduating student. 

Whenever her mother says that her breath hitches a little, maybe it’s because she needs to finish this degree this June. She has no choice. She’s at the mercy of her aunt, who’s residing overseas and funding her college education. It’s a fact she has to remember over and over again to force herself to study. 

As the youngest among her cousins, she has heard the great tales of her parents’ wealth in the 90s. 

Alam mo, Elle, dati, ang mama at papa mo ang naggagala sa amin sa Greenbelt noon tapos they would take us to restaurants to eat out. 

Mama mo ang nagpaaral sa amin dati. 

The best talaga sila mama at papa mo.

She could only listen to those stories and wished that her parents did better at handling their finances. 

Hindi naman namin alam na dadating ka sa buhay namin, anak.

They were trying for a baby for a long time and had her years later. Her late father and mother often say she’s an answered prayer, but it makes her wonder. Why did they not think too far ahead about the life their kid will have if she’s a prayer they have recited maybe a million times?  

Despite growing remorse for her parents’ past decisions, she keeps pushing forward. 

Ano nga naman magagawa ko? Nangyari naman na ang lahat. Wala na akong magagawa. Pagbubutihin ko na lang. Ako na ang bubuhay kay Mama pagtapos nito.

It has been ingrained in her mind that she will be the family’s breadwinner once she completes her degree. 

Si Elle ang pag-asa mo.

Her relatives would say it to her mother as she gloats that her daughter, Elle, has been the responsible and intelligent kid she has always wanted. Her mother would say she was able to raise her well by making sure she had the best study habits and demeanor as a kid. It has been that way since she was a kid, and it’s why her aunt has supported her studies since she was a kid. She was the wonder kid of the most influential maternal figure of the family after her grandmother. 

“Napaano ka, Elle?” Jun asks as he settles beside the lady drowning in her thoughts. 

“Ah, may naiisip lang,” she replies with a slight smile. 

“Oh, ito. I got us some coffee,” he says. 

“Nag-abala ka pa, huy,” she hastily replies. 

“Wala ‘yan. Break ka muna sa pagkakape sa Lawson. Tikman mo ‘yan. Bagong bukas ‘yan sa Dapitan,” he tells her as he places the cup of coffee on her armrest. 

Elle thanks him. On the cup’s lid is a carefully folded note. She opens it. 

Kaya mo ‘yan, Elle. Ikaw pa! Andito lang ako. - Jun <3

“Thank you, Jun. Effort mo talaga,” she says, lips curling slightly. 

She’s been hesitant to think about what Jun has been doing for her. Elle knows she cannot handle being responsible for another person’s feelings when she can’t even contain her own. Elle still cannot sleep at night alone with the lights off. She would feel suffocated by her thoughts. That alone proves that she will only hurt Jun if she lets herself fall for him. 

Kapag hindi kami nagtagal at napamahal na ako sa kanya, mawawala ako sa huwisyo. Hindi ko kaya ‘yon. May hinahabol pa akong pangarap.

Elle knows her limits. She has to be focused on one goal. All eyes are on her. A lot is expected from her. She knows she has no right to be sidetracked. Being an only child means carrying out the family’s responsibilities because it’s her role. 

“Saan ka nga pala after class, Elle? Gusto mo ba aral tayo kasama sila Denise at Coleen?” Jun asks. 

“Cafe ba? If yes, pass muna. Gusto ko muna umuwi agad. Masakit likod ko eh,” Elle responds. 

“Discord na lang?” Jun asks. 

She nods.

That is not just the reason why she declined Jun’s offer. Elle doesn’t tell her friends that she’s trying to budget the allowance that she gets from her mother to have her indulgences. She has committed to joining her friends outside the university in a drag show next month. For a student who commutes from her hometown to Manila every class day, Elle gets to save a little money that she spends on sudden school-related expenses and her hobbies. Because of this, she would put herself on strict financial planning to ensure she saves money. 

Purgang purga na ako sa siomai rice at rice meals ng Lawson.

She eats a lot of food at home to minimize the need to buy food around the university. It doesn’t help that lately, her friends would drag her with them to study in cafes or co-working spaces. Elle can only sigh at how tight her finances are. Unlike the pandemic's peak when she could do some business and work to support herself and contribute to their household while studying, she cannot do part-time jobs anymore as she has to focus on her courses. 

“Kakasimula palang ng sem na ‘to parang mamamatay na ako sa bigat ng subjects,” Coleen retorts as she picks up her bag from the plastic chair. 

“Discord na lang diba, Jun, Elle?” Denise asks.

Elle nods. 

“Okay. Kitakits. Mga eight na tayo magsimula para makahinga-hinga lahat pagtapos bumiyahe,” Jun says, looking at Elle. 

The three nod in agreement. 

“Una na ako, guys. Maghahabol pa ako ng jeep,” Elle says. 

“Gesi. Ingat, Mama Elle,” Denise replies. 

“Ikaw rin. Coleen, Jun, kayo rin,” Elle adds.

“Bye, Elle. Text me when you get home?” Jun says. 

Elle nods. 

After some hugs and a little chitchat, Elle steps out of the room as she places earphones on her ears. If one thing could silence her raging thoughts, it would be music. She momentarily forgets her worries over the upcoming first comprehensive exams for each of her subjects this semester. She doesn’t think of the many things she has to catch up on at home and her internship that’s about to end. She doesn’t think about the upcoming research defense initially scheduled last month. Aside from that, she has some org work to accomplish. 

She walks along the pathways in front of Albertus and Ruaño, music blasting in her ears. The wind is cooling her sweaty skin as she looks around her surroundings—a temporary solace. 

A man laughing with his friends blocks the path as she trudges on the sidewalk. 

“Excuse me po,” she retorts. 

“Ay, sensya po,” the man mutters. 

Elle stops herself from rolling her eyes. Engineering students block the pathway every day she’s in the university. They would talk in the middle of the sidewalk while walking slowly—her pet peeve. She continues to walk, focusing on the music she’s listening to. 

If not for the slow traffic along España, she would stay on the campus for a bit. She would let the cold wind of the late afternoon kiss her skin as her eyes wandered to the greenery from Plaza Mayor to Lovers’ Lane. The turmoil caused by the classes in her building is silenced by the solace brought upon by the campus once she goes out of Albertus. It has been that way since 2019, even when the college was still in the university’s carpark. 

Having those thoughts, Elle realized how far she had come. She was far from the girl who was discouraged by the guy she took care of when she was a freshman and he was a sophomore. 

Hindi mo kaya ‘tong course na ‘to.

Kung ako sa’yo, umalis ka na habang maaga pa. 

Shift ka na.

It was three years ago when it all happened, but his voice is still in Elle’s head whenever a semester starts. 

Will she be able to survive it? Is he right all along? 

It’s no secret that Accounting, in general, is never her dream career path. It didn’t help that she transferred from BS Accountancy to BS Management Accounting in her second year in college. Elle has always felt doubt and uncertainty about her decisions and path in life as an accounting student because she was never sure of it, and she had someone doubt her from the start. 

She sighs heavily as she exits the campus to cross the street through the footbridge. She looks at the heavy traffic flow caused by the rush hour. Surviving a three-hour lecture is one thing, but the commute home is another story. 

Her daily demise as a student could have been prevented if her parents planned her college education well, but she knows there is no point in thinking about it already. She can only live in the moment and work with what she is provided. She has no chance to voice out these feelings without upsetting her mother. 

As she reaches the sidewalk after going down from the footbridge, she waves her hand to signal an approaching jeepney she wants to ride. The vehicle stops, allowing her to get in and find a seat just in time before the light goes green again. 

It’s going to be a two-hour commute going home.

Silva Zoldyck x Mother female reader.

(Hey guys, since I have been watching HxH videos in my past years life, so I decided that I will make an HxH Silva Zoldyck x Single mother female reader, so that means that is given birth to Alluka Zoldyck, Killua Zoldyck (the kids of Silva Zoldyck), and Namine L/n, which also means that the mother female reader will take Kikyo's place, I'll try my best to do Silva's POV, I hope you enjoy it.)

"I'll make sure that you and our kids live in a happy life with me..." -Silva Zoldyck.

------------------------------------

Narrator's POV:

In the park, your children Alluka, Killua, and Namine are playing around in the playground, you were watching your kids playing in the playground.

"Killua, and Alluka, please play nicely with Namine, okay??" You asked while looking at Killua and Alluka.

"Yes mother, we'll play nicely with her." Killua said while Alluka nodded in agreement and started playing toys with Killua and Namine.

Few minutes later, it started to rain whilw it's time for you and your kids to go home, you looked at Killua, Alluka, and Namine.

"Kids, it's time to go home, grab all of your toys, and let's go home." You said while Killua, Alluka, and Namine nodded in agreement and gathered their toys before going to you.

At home, Alluka & Namine are playing dolls, while Killua walked to you in confusion, and looked at you straight in the eyes.

"Mother, I have a question and I want you to answer me with honesty." Killua said.

"Very well then, what is your question that you want to know, my son." You said with an calm voice.

"Who is that man who you went out on a date in the photo, is he our father??" Killua asked while waiting for your answer.

"That man who went out on a date with me in the photo, is Silva Zoldyck, yes he is your father, the reason why you noticed that he is your father, is because he loves me and decided that I should be his new wife of the Zoldyck family, however I sense that his own father didn't appreciate it, so I decided that one day, once I am pregnant of you, Alluka, and Namine, I will go to a far away department, however, a few days later after you three are born, your father called me on the phone that he and I made a deal that me, you and your sisters will be back in the Zoldyck residence, and I agree with your dad's deal, but I told him that Namine will be the heir of Zoldyck and L/n families, which he agree with my choice, forgive me of not telling you about it, I just wanted to protect you, but it seems that I failed." You said.

"No, don't blame on yourself, it's not your fault, my sisters and I will always love you no matter what, just like you love us no matter what." Killua said before giving you a hug.

At night, after dinner, You, Killua, Alluka, and Namine started packing up your bags and started going to the Zoldyck residence, as you and your kids arrived the entrance of the Zoldyck residence, you all met Silva Zoldyck, Silva looked at you and the kids with a calm manner.

Silva's POV:

I looked at Y/n and the kids with a calm, I am glad that Y/n hasn't disagree with the deal, and I am glad that my Y/n gave birth to our three children, on top of that, I am really really surprised that I have not only seen Killua and Alluka, but I also seen that Y/n has a second daughter with Killua and Alluka, and it is Namine.

"Welcome back, Y/n, I noticed that you gave birth to the three of our kids." I said while looking at you and the kids.

"I am glad that you have been getting your life waiting for us to be back. Killua, Alluka, and Namine, go ahead and meet your father." You said while Killua, Alluka, and Namine nodded in agreement.

"Hello father, I heard from mother that you and mom have been going out on a date, I am glad that I can see you for now." Killua said.

"Hi papa, I hope that we'll get along as a family." Alluka said.

"Greetings father, I am Namine L/n, I am very very interested to be part of the family." Namine said.

"It's nice to meet you three, I'll have my servants to put your bags in your new bedrooms." I said while the butlers grabbed Killua, Alluka, and Namine's bags and went into Killua, Alluka, and Namine's signed bedrooms.

"Killua, Alluka, Namine, go follow the servants and go see your new rooms." You said while Killua, Alluka, and Namine nodded in agreement and followed the butlers to their signed bedrooms.

"I'm glad that you have come back to me, I have missed your beautiful face, your lovely voice, your precious pretty eyes, your soft hair, and your company, and now that you and our kids have returned to me." I said while giving you an soft kiss in the lips.

"I apologize for leaving you while getting pregnant, I was just thought that you don't want me after we went out on a date." You said while looking away from me.

I grabbed your face and turned her face to my face.

"Don't feel harsh about it, my father never approved that you and I would be together, but now that I have you and our kids, I will do my best to adore you and our kids." I said while hugging my future wife.

You cried in tears of joy and hugged me back, I felt that love has finally found a way.

"I'll make sure that you and our kids live in a happy life with me." I whispered in your ear smoothly and softly.

KHOC Week Day 6 - Journal

This has been a prompt for @khoc-week that I've been so excited about. Hinata keeps journals of her adventures as a way to keep track of her memories. She's forgotten large chunks of her past before and wants to make sure that can never happen again.

Her journals, however, are a bit different from a normal diary. She writes them like a story and also draws pictures in them to show where she is. She's not an incredibly gifted artist, but learned a few things from her time with Namine.

This is an excerpt of her journal entry during a short stay on Montressor. In Chapter 41 of "The Forgotten Traveler", Hinata and her team find themselves back on Montressor in search of information on Sam's dad. It leads them back to the Benbow, where Sam's mom holds the missing piece.

The actual chapter was written from Sam's point of view, but this journal entry is Hinata's take on it all. I'll post the entire entry below:

----------------------------------

The Benbo Inn was filled with warmth and life. Sarah Hawkins always did have a way of making people feel welcome. She kept our booth open. I remember sitting there after my shift, or whenever Sam and James would come during my work day and convince me to take a break. Tonight though, it lacked the usual excitement it used to.

While the rest of the inn bustled and chatted, we were there for something different. Sam needed to talk with her mom. It wasn't going to be easy and it made me queasy to think about. Jenna was someone I couldn't figure out. Her eyes showed a vast emptiness, yet I could sense something deeper. It made me sad for her. Though I could understand the anger Sam held towards her. Two years of isolation… What could that do to someone? I went crazy during my month alone on Treasure Planet. Well, mostly alone.

As Ben and I took our seats, Sam went to her mom. Her words were short and terse, telling her they needed to talk after closing time, then she came back to the booth with us. I wish I could have said something to help. Part of me wished I could have taken care of the entire thing for her. But that wouldn't help anything. It was something she needed to face on her own.

Knowing that, I asked if she wanted us there during the discussion, which she said yes to. All that remained was for us to eat dinner and wait. But even with the great food from Sarah, I didn't have much of an appetite. Sam didn't seem to either. While Ben kept the conversation going, mostly with himself. I'm glad he was there.

It was agonizing to wait. I kept drumming my fingers against the table and I'm pretty sure my leg wouldn't stop shaking. Then closing time finally came. I helped Jenna and Sarah clean up. It was just like I was working there again. But then it was time to talk.

Jenna brought over a chair and carefully folded her apron over the back of it before she sat down. She sat on the edge, her back straight. It was like she was trying to seem stronger than she felt. Sam brought out a locket. It looked similar to mine but was made from a bluish metal. I didn't recognize the engraving on top, not that it entirely matters. Jenna seemed to though. I noticed her shifting in her seat at the sight of it. Did she know what was inside it?

Sam asked if she'd seen the vision and Jenna just nodded. Not a word came out of her. Sam continued to pry and Jenna's entire demeanor shifted. Her posture slumped and that distant glaze came back over her eyes. There was more to this. Even with the possibility of getting Jarith back, she didn't react. It only made her retreat further back into herself. What was really going on?

There was something deeper. Something even Sam didn't seem to understand and realize. The raw pain between them was palpable. It didn't take long for Sam to lose her temper. She slammed her hands against the table, demanding answers. Jenna begged her not to look into this and got up from her seat to leave.

I couldn't sit by anymore and got out of my seat, while Lupe took care of calming Sam down. Jenna could hardly stand. She leaned against the tables for support as she walked away. I moved to stand in front of her and all I saw was a broken woman. Everything she did… she abandoned her children when they needed her most, ignored them when they pleaded for help and even for something as simple as love, and locked herself away for nearly two years. Why didn't I share Sam's resentment towards her? There had to be more to it. More that we didn't understand about Jenna.

All I had to say to Jenna was acknowledge she was trying to protect Sam. She broke down. Sam was all she had left.

Sam cried that if that was the case, why did she never care?

It was a valid question. One Jenna didn't have an answer to. Whatever is going on with her, maybe Jarith will have the answer. We have to find him.

Lupe and I calmed Jenna down enough to let Sam back in for another chance to talk. We promised her that we'd get him back… Maybe that was a foolish thing to promise, but it seemed like the only choice at the time. I know I'll do everything in my power to do it. We all will.

Sam tried again. She knelt in front of Jenna and offered the locket once more. She pleaded softly, begging for any information about her dad. And Jenna did… she told us the name Glee Anselm. That's where we'll find Sam's dad.

We have quite the journey ahead of us.

Open Starter (Female or Futa only)

Namine sighed softly to herself as she looked down at her current drawing. Her mind had been restless lately. It was hard not to be with everything that happened. Not only was she... well a real person again, with a real body. She had been feeling a lot of the new effects of having a real body. Mainly the need that was growing between her legs. She had never felt this before, mostly due to not being alive long enough to ever feel this sort of thing. She had asked around about it but no one seemed to give her a straight answer. She was already getting frustrated as she felt her core heating up, her eyes looking down at the drawing as she realized she had been drawing herself naked and exposed. She gasped and bent herself over to hide it, which in turn caused her dress to start ripping around her ass, another side effect of her recent growth.

"Aww dang it... maybe I need to find a new wardrobe..." She pouted softly, trying her best to fix it as she placed her drawing down. That didn't last long though as she heard the knock on her door, her whines growing louder, "Mmm come in!"

🦉are you a morning person or a night owl? 🔮 what is your dream job?

Hello! Whew, I finally had a moment to sit down. Thanks for dropping by!

🦉are you a morning person or a night owl?

Night owl. I'm not sure whether a natural one, or whether it's a matter of coincidence, though. I generally don't feel sleepy often, and just sorta... go on. So far the longest I went without sleep without feeling much of anything was 36h or so. (...Only to suddenly crash later, eh).

🔮 what is your dream job?

Hmm... I don't know! I used to have one, but I can't say with good resolve that I do now.

I suppose I currently just want to tell my silly stories, and to pet my cats, and to perhaps be of help when somebody asks. As long as it's not pointless, it seems fine.

Ask game

[whyarewecalledtheshipname]

just losing my shit at the way CoM "introduces" this concept of a good luck charm that sora wears which denotes the image of a necklace but also simultaneously conflates the charm with kairis shell charm but it's also part of a fake memory about receiving it as a child but also the memory is actually not completely fake but sora goes to sleep wondering who the shell charm is from and also who it reminds him of

And then kh2 further confuses things with the fuckin little mermaid ass-pull parallel about necklaces that are also good luck charms so like we still don't definitely know who sora's good luck charm is supposed to represent-- whether riku or kairi-- or even if the CoM memory is alluding to the shell charm or sora's necklace--

But then the answer to this whole mess just goes unspoken in the entirety of the kh2 ending-- from sora's reunions with his friends down to the last scene of the game

An entire ending sequence to the game which is so transparently, /clearly/, about sora and riku

Down to sora asking what the light was--perhaps the very same light that namine spoke of back in CoM--that glimmer

Only for riku to point at sora's chest, obviously intended to refer to soras heart, yet sora places his hand over his /necklace/

It's. It's riku. Ofc we knew it was riku that this whole charm shit was about but ughhhhh

Like. I am. So sleep deprived over this shit 💀💀💀

Just a small little drabble~

I torture this boy enough so here's some fluff

You have been wearing long sleeves and long pants for the majority of your time at the mansion. But summer is coming and there is no way you're going to survive doing chores around the mansion that way. There's no ac!

So as it gets warmer your sleeves and pant legs go up. You know you can't dress like this when you go into town, but you might as well be comfortable at home.

But this made you realize that none of the residents have seen your tattoos. You really only have black line art of some small things. You have them on your arms, shoulders, a few on your legs. You thought nothing of it until one of the guys said something.

Some of them were confused as to what they were, others only knew of people in prisons getting tattoos. There were a lot of questions you had to answer. But once you explained none of them seemed to have an issue with them.

Vincent was very intrigued by them and kept asking to look at them. He would ask why you got each one and if it had meaning. Half the time it was just because a tattoo shop was doing a flash event and you went in and got something.

One day you fell asleep in the parlor after working and when you woke up one of your tattoos was colored in. You stared at it for a good while. Very confused. But the color washed off almost immediately when you bathed that night. And decided not to think more of it.

This happens a few more times when you fall asleep in random places. No one has said anything about doing it though. And it's a different one each time.

A few days later you are in the library reading a book fairly late. You feel yourself dozing off but you force your eyes open wanting to finish that chapter. No luck. You fall asleep. Only to wake up a few minutes later to a tickling feeling.

You groan softly and force your eyes open to see what is tickling you. It better not be King licking your finger again.

You look to your right and see Vincent kneeling next to your chair coloring in one of your tattoos.

You get a burst of life suddenly. "So it's you!"

Vincent jumps, thinking you were still asleep and then laughs softly. "You caught me."

You're guessing this is his version of a prank. It's so pure.

You let him finish coloring it in. "There! All done," he smiles and lets you look at it.

Holding up your arm, you smile to see your little line art colored in.

"You could have just asked me, you know," you chuckle and sit up.

"Yeah... But you always make a cute face when you first see it."

You hold your arm back out "You can color the rest if you want."

"Really?" He gets excited and starts to color in the others.

He reminds you of a little kid using a coloring book.

"When I first saw them I thought about how they would look colored in," he switches between colors to add details "It's like a fresh canvas everyday."

"I never thought of getting them filled in. But now you're making me consider it."

He finishes coloring all the ones on your arm. "Perfect," he smiles as he looks at his handiwork.

You move your arm around to be able to see it all "I love it," you rest your arm down carefully so you don't mess any of it up. "Now I know who to go to if I want some color."
