IT HAD OBSERVED THE SMALL BEING FROM THE SHADOWS -- a mess of wired could of easily been it's dangling tail, the polished surface of machinery very easily it's dome carapace, but in the light; it was a walking nightmare.

rather than rise above it's prey, it crawled, slinking across the floor with barely a sound, even it's tail seemingly acutely aware of it's surroundings as it moved, it drawing near... only for the smooth head to bump into RIPLEY'S leg and pauses, upon no response it pushes more against her thigh, just as it observed the small orange thing do. @purityadmired

Tired gaze traces endlessly generating lines of outputs. Jonesy had a habit of checking her from time to time. Outside of his meal times, he would surprise and distract her with a sudden nudge of his head against her calf or drooping hand, or do an eight around her legs until she would spare him some attention before leaving for his own, feline business around the ship and outside.

It had been some time, since Ripley had even stood up to stretch or take few steps. She was desperately searching for something something.

As she types new commands to the console, there it is again. The familiar, loving bump against her leg. She knows, another one would follow. Greedy cat wouldn't stop bothering her until she gives in. No matter how urgent or focus requiring her business is.

"Little shit head. Can't you see I'm busy?" she chuckles between lips, almost mistyping. As the progress starts to run, she reaches her fingers down near her legs, searching the contact with the orange fluffy fur. Brushing over the hard and smooth curve of the dome as she cannot seem to find Jonesy. Odd, she frowns, thinking she was touching scrap metal, before looking down to check what was at her feet.

She pulls her feet up, climbing the back of the chair as she stares down.

Vergil portal slices, the rift appearing next to her, he steps out, and the portal closes behind him as he hands Eden this directly.

are you eden's type ? || accepting

─「エデン」─  eden was half-expecting him to send this to her either digitally or by some sort of letters, only for the man himself to cut open a portal and almost nonchalantly extended the filled out bingo card towards her. the TRAILBLAZER had to hold back a smile, quirking a teasing brow before accepting it and started reading. it was obvious that she wasn't surprised by how many he had marked down. one box in particular that was left unmarked had her focus.

                " really ? you don't think you have a nice voice ? " now, that was a surprise. " seven bingos are already impressive, of course. but you're selling yourself short. " perhaps, he believed his talent lies somewhere else other than vocal, which was partially right. still — " if i like your voice, does that count ? or you don't need an extra one given how many you've checked out ? " a knowing, playful smile curved her lips.

                " and the fact that you hand this to me in person, are you expecting a reward ? "

Do you have a verses page?

this blog is still very new, so I didn’t have time to put together a proper verse page. Are you interested in a specific muse, then I will try to write down some verses as quickly as possible. If you like you could also send me a message and we can plot something together! <3

❝ trying to get on my good side?

His "good side"? As if he had any hope of harming her in the first place. The words dripped with arrogance, and she could feel the faintest twitch at the corners of her lips—less a smile, more a warning.

He should be focused on avoiding the wrath of her bad side, because whatever remnants of mercy she once had were long gone. Every ounce of softness had been burned away by the hell she’d lived through, leaving only a cold, unrelenting core.

Miranda's eyes bore into Ethan, her gaze a blade as sharp as the words she was about to deliver. She could already picture it—the satisfaction of watching this smug, tainted man crumble beneath her. The thought of burying him deep enough to never rise again was almost… enjoyable.

Of course, she'd be sure to take a blood sample first...

"Perhaps," she spoke slowly, her voice a deadly whisper, "you should start worrying about getting on mine."

i was so excited for swordskull so i'm glad that resonated<3

[sunderedoldfriends]

what places do you think would excite hyth the most? do you think he can handle high temps ( thavnair/ul'dah ) or cold temps ( ishgard ) at all? what would be his favorite?

That is a very interesting question! Back in the ancient days Hythlodaeus was not like Azem, he didn’t get the chance to travel, he only knew the safety of Amaurot and what he saw in Elpis. So in a potential AU where Hythlodaeus gets to stay in the present world, he would like to travel. Let him go to a bustling city as Kugane, let him wear a kimono or hakama and examine all the foreign goods and foods. Let him experience things for the first time.

But to come back to your question, I think he is actually very sensitive to weather and temperature. Thanalan? Way too hot. Our mans is super pale and gets sunburned easily, also the desert is so bare of life, there is nothing to look at. Coerthas and Garlemald? You could put him in the thickest fur coat available and he would still freeze, though if he gets the chance he would always be the first to start a snowball fight.

As I have discussed with a friend, I think he would most likely settle down in a little hut just outside of Gridania. He likes the mild weather and the greens of the forest, he loves nature and all kinds of animals, so he would probably become a botanist. He would be a very open and friendly individual, but he has a very obvious aura of solitude when he is by himself. He doesn’t like to be alone, he had been separated from those he cared about for so long already.

I am curious about your thoughts as to what Ripley was like before Nostromo? Like what do you think she liked to do in her spare time?

This doesn't base too much on anything canon and are simply my own HCs because... I love HCs. Making my blog unique that way. From entirely mundane perspective.

First, I see her incredibly practical and ambitious when it comes to anything that aspires her. Not just anyone can score titles like she earned. I am sure she worked hard for those.

Second, she must have become a mother as a young adult, in the middle of career path, so running home for Amanda and her has been top priority despite for bringing it up as a second. You know, balancing work and trying to take care of a child - not an easy task. And I doubt company policies offered anything to support that really.

What I did note, she talks about keeping her promise to her daughter with great weight. I am certain the two had close relationship despite Ellen working her butt off for the company. What comes to practicality, I am certain she wouldn't have issue to maintain home appliances or building furniture or computers - I highly doubt Ellen is the best at baking and decorating a cake, for example, but damn she would try her best to make a princess birthday cake if Amanda so desired.

So before Nostromo... Home and her daughter would be the one solid part of her life that makes her feel safe... distracted from disasters and pressures from her duties. Childlike positivity and excitement contrasting the harsh reality she sees everyday. I can imagine Ellen would just like it at home. She doesn't need to seek thrill or excitement. Whenever she has chance to get home, she wants tor est. Just being with her daughter, doing nice things for her and with her. Simple mundane things of love to compensate disappointments she does have had to bring in form of changing plans due to long contracts and working hours.

lingyun is surprised. autumn is not.

are you eden's type ? || accepting

─「エデン」─  when she received the paper, the SPACE RACCOON stared at it in silence for a moment. only for a split second more before she placed it over her lips to hide an amused grin blooming over her expression. there was a clear hint of mirth in those golden hues, but glazed so clearly with affection that one wouldn't be able to miss even if one tried.

                " you actually have filled this out for me before, do you remember ? " the last time he did, he actually poked holes right into the bingo itself. but that wasn't the point. she was actually focusing on some things that he had filled this time while he had not the last time. " you do spoil me more than i'd think. especially the pets and attention. but aah ... commander ! " his title came with a POUT. " you still wouldn't bail me out if i'm being caught ? mean ! i thought you'd have my back ! " even as she said this, the ones former missing ones he filled in actually made her heart soar. the travel and him being patient enough to handle her antics. her non-existent tail wagging real hard behind her. stepping closer to the man, she held out her gloved hand to mirror the FIRST TIME he gave her this paper.

                " my name is eden, but you can call me yours. would you mind if i call you mine, commander zhao lingyun ? "

it is a FACT men ONLY like to be called MEN names

it is CANON megumi is a MAN.

it is CANON megumi ONLY likes to be called MEN names

umm, i’m not sure what were you trying to say with this asks anon, but if you are pressed about the last megumi fic and reader’s ex making fun of his name being “girly” the point is the ex being an ass, so yep, also if you are pressed about megumi being remotely related with something feminine, maybe try to think about why you’d think that’s bad? and whatever you think a MAN is supposed to be, maybe think about about your prejudices about that too.

in japanese megumi is a traditionally female or feminine name, so yep, that’s literally it.

i would rather be cruel than weak.

Miranda's smile was brief—a flicker of something sharp and satisfied. One of her hens had finally grown talons, or perhaps it was only beginning to. No longer would it cluck in fear or weakness. It would flap its wings to fight, not flee to the coop with the others. Good.

"Weakness and cruelty often coexist," Miranda said, her voice a cold, clinical drawl. "One can be weak and cruel, using cruelty as a veneer—an armor to mask their own fragility. And such an armor... shatters easily."

Her gaze shifted to the maid, cold and assessing. Miranda hoped the message would settle, carve itself into her mind. Learn. Adapt. Grow stronger. It was human nature to evolve, to survive, to ascend. That was why they remained at the top of the food chain. But she had not come for a lesson in biology.

"But cruelty... it is the culture here, isn't it?" she muttered, as if to herself rather than to Indra. It was natural for her to think that cruelty was a symbol of strength. She needed a teacher, and Miranda was happy to be one.

The smile returned, though it was gone as quickly as it had come—brief, empty. "If strength is what you crave, seize power. Many will tell you knowledge is power, but knowledge means nothing if you lack the power to wield it."

“Come and play with me”

‘a new day awaits us, or so the rumour goes.’

"And so it does," Astarion hums, adjusting the sleeves of his daywear clothes after emerging from his tent. This rag-tag group got larger by the day. Suited Astarion just fine ; it just meant more potential bodies to aid him when his hour of need would surely arrive ( assuming by then their little tadpole situation wasn't under control ). This one though, this one smelled absolutely delightful. The magic was obvious but there was something more wrenched beneath that, something thicker than an occasional bath in blood.

"Speaking of rumors, so it goes there are two forgetful birds in this flock. Amnesia is getting as common as mindflayer parasites these days. Did you give up your past for some duty to the divine too... or is your tale something more boring like you fell and hit your head?"
