I feel like I've seen multiple posts about tomboy, slightly masculine or even just strong women characters where the OP was soo glad she's also allowed to be feminine!! And I'm always like. As opposed to what? Being completely and totally masc? Please, show me the forbidden totally 100% no femininity to be found girl characters that there seem to be so many of that you're glad this character isn't one of them. I would like to see them.

Thank you! That's relieving to hear!

The news

There lived a young princess amongst the vast, azure skies. She loved to play in the clouds, hopping through them, or nestling in them for naps. Her ginger locks would get tangled by the wind, and her tiny white wings would flap aimlessly behind her, as she ran around in the safety of Skylandian castle's gardens.

But there was something off.

You see, princesses her age would play with friends, already make connections that could transcend into adulthood, naturally creating safety nets with age.

But Elizabeth? She was perfectly content with solitude.

Moreover, she despised any social outing. All eyes being on her, the pressure of everyone being hyperfocused on the future empress of Skyland, all of it felt like a chore.

And as much as he loved her, her father, Emperor Edward, couldn't stand it. She's nine, for crying out loud! What if this remained in her teenagehood, adulthood, or even when she takes over the throne?!

He wasn't mad at her, to make things clear. He knows she's a smart, kind child, chattering with maids and guards in the safety of her castle whenever she was away from prying eyes. The emperor just knew how harsh the politics in the Mushroom World are, unforgiving to the subtlest of the oddities. And the princess' silence had been anything but.

He wasn't completely hopeless, however. After much debating with the six kings about their children's future, and even getting the Mushroom Kingdom itself involved, they had made decision that could change everything.

─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───

Princess Elizabeth perched on her favorite window sill and kicking her feet, as she always did when it was too late to play outside but still clear enough to watch through the window. She observed the sunset with her favorite plush toy and teacups in both of their hands, as the clouds swirled in pinks and purples, the sun rays sparkling sun kissed face, and the little rabbit's white fur. She clearly had a lot of fun today from the way her dress is dirty, and her hair is completely disheveled.

Emperor Ed had observed her from a distance, struggling to tear his gaze away. It's probably one of, if not the last day he will get to see his daughter so young, so unfiltered, without a care about politics or anything else really. He knew that this conversation would mean everything. Although normally he would've snapped at her lack of manners, for some reason he's silent.

After what felt like hours, he clears his throat, startling the young princess and making her wings jolt up.

“Eliza, please don't keep teacups on the window sill..How many times do I have to..”

Ed sighs internally, his voice being less biting than usual. She lowers her head as if she's apologizing, carefully picking up the tray on the table, careful not to spill or break the porcelain. Her hands are shaking, as if she knew something was wrong, and Emperor Ed hated that she was correct.

“Thank you, little cloud. There's something important that I would like to talk with you about.”

“Yes, father?”

“I've had a talk with the six kings, and somebody special. Do you know who Princess Peach is?”

Elizabeth almost chokes on her tea, like he had just admitted to have a meeting with a deity. Of course she knows who Princess Peach is, everyone in the whole Mushroom Region know her, even beyond! She's the prettiest, the smartest, and has the biggest castle.. She nods her head violently, almost like he's stupid for even implying she doesn't know.

"

“Well, since you and other nobles in the Mushroom Region are growing up, you need to get some guidance..” Emperor starts, almost hesitating.

“..and Princess Peach is willing to take you and some other princesses under her wing.” he watches her blank expression, unsure how to proceed.

But then-

Elizabeth starts giggling, so much so that her wings flap along with an intensity Ed hadn't seen in a long while.

“Really?? The Princess is interested in me?” she chirps, her tiny feet kicking faster.

“Especially you, sweetheart. She”

“Did Princess Penelope also got in? Will I be able to access the library? Oh, how about the gardens-” “Ellie-” “-Do you know if her flowers are just pink, or does she have a whole rainbow of colors?-” “Lizzie-” “Do you think the strategists will let me eavesdrop? Could we get all the snacks I've heard about-” “Elizabeth!” he snaps, gently putting one of his wings over her mouth, before she gets to drown him in questions.

“Yes, our neighbor from Pipeland got in, and I don't know much else to be frank with you. You'll figure it out once you've moved in.”

Her face drops instantly.

“I..move...in...?”

“Yes, you heard me correctly. If you want to get mentored by Princess Peach, you will have to live in a dorm in the Mushroom Kingdom. She said that she would want to teach you as a group, to learn how to work together, and Mushroom Kingdom is the safest place there is.”

Elizabeth visibly droops, staring at the floor. She will have to handle new people, in a new place, away from her dad and her beloved clouds.. But at the same time.. She will get to meet someone she looks up to, not just that, she will get mentored! Maybe they'll even become friends! But still..

“Elizabeth.”

Her head turns vaguely in his direction, still avoiding eye contact.

“I know this is a change to you, and a big one at that. Peach had asked me to just decide this for you, but you're far too smart for such nonsense.” He pets he attempts to comfort her, petting her head. “You're 9 years and two months old, it would be unfair of me to just send you out tomorrow as an order.”

“It's..it's tomorrow..?”

“Yes. We've been discussing about this since june. Most kids would just beam at the mere mention of Peach but you..you're different. I didn't want to throw you in there without a warning”

“I know I'm different..”

“Oh, don't give me that. Not all 'different' is bad, Eliza.. King Mackerel is still gathering himself after he lost that chess match with you, he even admitted it today”

They both snap out of their somberness, chuckling at the faint memory of King of Waterland's face.

“I'm being serious, Eliza. You can either say no, and I'll back out of the arrangement, giving up a free slot for somebody else. Or you can say yes, and we'll spend tomorrow preparing.”

“Please promise that you will visit..” She looks at him with her sky blue eyes, trying to detect if he's lying.

“I promise, Elizabeth.” he's more stern yet still being softer, carefully grabbing her hand.

“Could I bring Hoshiko to the Mushroom Kingdom?” she glances at her beloved white stuffed rabbit, sitting on the other edge of the window sill.

“Of course.”

Then silence. Emperor Ed doesn't push her, letting her analyze through all the prons and cons.

She looks at the window. Then at Hoshiko. Then at her dad.

“I..I will be going. Hoshiko will keep me company, and I think Peach is the best teacher around..”

after that, Emperor wraps his arms and wings around her. She's stiff, but that doesn't bother him in the slightest.

Her small smile is all the reciprocation he will ever need from his daughter.

“It is decided, then.” He says, almost to himself.

It surely is.

Tysm for reading 😭 this is my first writing ever so please be nice to me

[asheanon]

I also come bearing a little 🌌🌹💜 thought today. 💕

🪶 Feathers

It's about those feathery fronds again and something that could potentially happen in one of the select few Ashe stories where things don't end tragically. It would have to because it would take a good while in relationship time for something like this to transpire, I think!

So... My Kuja's feathers go through molting cycles, right? To dive a little deeper into this morsel of lore, however, I sometimes wonder... if given the opportunity to salvage the crown feathers in particular, if they're actually collected. They're nice feathers, perhaps he would?

Regardless of whether or not they would be, however, there is the thought they could be for at least one little thing, at some point. Because...

When you have feelings for someone who is known for wearing their fair share of feather accessories, you may naturally be led to wonder what it would be like for them to wear feathers of your own. 🪶

I reckon it's a bit like their own brand of wearing your SO's clothing. Paired with Monster Hunter. Romantic Monster Hunter.

What really gets me about this concept is... while it absolutely would take a long time for this gesture to occur as it is, given how these two work emotionally, it would also take a while if there aren't existing feather collections. It takes time for feathers to grow and regrow, age to "perfection" (in Kuja's mind,) sort through for the best ones (no less will be accepted here,) contemplate jewelry designs and have them crafted into jewelry.

Essentially, this would be an act that was meditated for a pretty long time... it's a lot of deliberation and effort to put into something so small, really. And that's part of what makes it special. 🤍

Aetherial Starsigns Headcanons: Movie Night 🌃🧪🍿

A gift for @avas-snazzical-corner first f/o anniversary! Congratulations, you two!

The rest of this is post-Ultimis focused, but I do want to comment that there is at least a few old films reels and a mysterious unknown one mixed in at Kino der Toten. I can definitely picture Ava and Richtofen studying them at one point

Flash forward to another timeline the love birds ran off to so they could enjoy their shared life in peace. Every now and then, they watch movies together

Ava gathers the snacks and the blankets. Edward sets up the film and tries to make the atmosphere cozy with gentle lighting and such.

Edward doesn't actually like popcorn for eating. But he loves to throw it at people *cough cough* Dempsey *cough*. He does love the m&ms candies though.

Ava likes to prepare a baked good like cupcakes or a plate of cookies for the snacks. Her husband always compliments her excellent baking skills. "A delightful job as always, Liebchen. But I think I'd like to eat you up instead 😘"

It’s usually preferred to watch movies at home. This is because Richtofen gets easily annoyed by every little sound coming from the audience (looking at you, bag crinkler). He’ll still go if they really want to see a new film that badly. But it’s more enjoyable being able to do so in their own private space

Edward is a hypocrite. Nobody can make comments about the movie except him, save for Ava.

No horror films. (Sad richtofen noises) He is willing to make the sacrifice for Ava’s comfort. But if any hardcore action happens in a film, he excitedly yells about even a drop of blood before immediately control himself.

They usually stick with lighthearted films. The only times they ever delve into darker topics are black and white filmed dramas/mysteries. Animated films are also a top choice. And then sometimes, movies are just YouTube video marathons on the TV.

Mirage is one of their shared favorites. The suspenseful nature really kept them on their toes! Also Edward might relate a bit to the protagonist... Another huge favorite is Over The Hedge. Comedies are always a joy to watch. And the chaotic nature of that one alone nearly wiped them out by the end of the night from laughing so hard.

And then then documentaries. It's not always so boring. Sometimes they fall asleep to one curled up on the couch together. But other times, it could lead to them info-dumping about whatever topic they learn about. Thankfully, Ava's fascination with space goes along well with Richtofen's scientific background.

Being a workaholic, Edward appreciates moments such as these. Not only because of Ava's soothing presence, but because they distract him from his own mind. He truly is blessed to have her as his soulmate in this lifetime

I had a really cool dream last night where I was some sort of fantasy detective with the magical ability to see patterns leading to my next clue. I was solving a string of murders in a monastery, which I first thought were committed by a ghost, but it was more complicated than that.

There were actually two separate, living people committing the murders. One of them was doing it for their own kicks, hiding behind the legend of the ghost, and I ended up having to kill them in self-defense during a confrontation. The second one was committing the murders because he loved the ghost in life and believed that the people going unmurdered were what was keeping the ghost tied to this world and unable to find peace. But actually, the ghost's soul was tied to murder weapon killer no.1 used (maybe they were murdered with it too? unclear), and when I broke it in the middle of my confrontation with them, the ghost was able to find peace and fade away.

Upon hearing this, murderer no.2 despaired and turned himself in voluntarily.
