[ravenwitch45]

Do you mind doing where Crimson has a Imp husband who is also his sugar daddy? (Weird idea ik lol)

Oh my! XP Weird Idea indeed but oddly fitting considering Crimson was kinda struggling finacially, why the wedding plan happened and all. Sure thing! I like writing Crimson being humbled and all.

Crimson with an Imp Husband Sugar Daddy S/O

It just kinda happened after the wedding plan was a bust. He needed money, so he ran into you at some fancy club, noticed several details hinting you were rich (Also had his men to read up on you cause he didn't want to be a sucker again) He offers a deal, you add the condition of him being your sugar baby, which flusters him greatly btw.

He swallows his pride after you explain the situation, though a day later cause he doesn't want to seem too desperate and bam, Crimson has a sugar daddy XP

Your very respectful to him, never treating him like a toy or servant, only asking if he could come over like once a week or sometimes visiting him but you take the no if he refuses, which he rarely does, still trying to treat this like a basic business deal so he's trying his best to fulfill his end.

You find it adorable how he tries so hard to be stonefaced even though he blushes like crazy doing stuff like kisses and cuddles, grumbling a lot. You often politely ask him for affection and stuff, but when he does it unprompted, you get all blushy and tease him on it, having him yell it doesn't mean anything as you kiss him on the cheek.

He's very rigid at first, a lot like Blitz is with Stolas, but after you make it clear you actually want him, and not just a person to fuck, he cools off, for a while it's more friends with benefits then anything, you chat and sometimes kiss and fuck (Which he won't admit he enjoys a lot more then he expected) but neither really consider yourselves truly dating.

You don't want to push him, and He's takes a while with his multisexual awakening, realizing he actually likes you, confessing to you drunk which you find adorable before bringing him to bed so he can sleep before the hangover in the morning, and then you discuss and get on the same page. Him blushing at how happy you seem about it, never really having that really, for good reason but still.

And after that it's a nice domestic relationship for a good while, he's a lot more relaxed with his empire going smooth with your funds added, and going to you as the day winds down to relax, you two going on dates and experimenting with stuff as couples do. You usually just bringing up his sugar baby status to fluster him.

C:Y-Y/N! You know I don't like you calling me that in public...

Y/N: Okay! Hey everybody this is my sexy boyfriend Crimson!

C, pulling his hat down with a blush as you put arm around him:

Y/N: You cute little grump~

C:I hate you...

Eventually one time you casually call him your hubby or husband, and he kinda freezes. He really likes you and the last person who called him that... well she didn't have a great time. And for a while he kinda closes himself off as he rakes his mind over it.

A few weeks after that he treats you to a surprise fancy dinner and proposes. Coming clean his last marriage didn't go well and it was his fault entirely, but he wants to do better with you, more then anything and he'd love if you'd give him that chance.

The hug and kiss he takes as a yes as he slips the ring onto your finger. Hugging and kissing you back, holding you closer then any wealth he's gained through this relationship, loving you with all his heart.

Okay there you go! Know it was more meeting to fiancé then actual hcs on the husbands relationship but this is long enough I feel. I enjoyed this one, never wrote a relationship like this so sorry if it's off, though I'll never get tired of writing Crimson's Queer awakening tbh XP Hope you enjoyed and thanks for sharing!

Ranna

"Slaadi" © Wizards of the Coast, by Sam Wood

[New Year, New Monsters! I am feeling much less burnt out than I was for the back half of 2023, and have built up a small backlog of new writing. I'm going to keep monsters I post to 2/week for now, to give myself time to go through said backlog in case the burnout rears up again when I'm back to work.

So for my first trick, is a monster NPC I actually wrote back in like September, but didn't post. Consider her an epilogue to the whole "Monster Girl Summer" thing. Ranna is @strawberry-crocodile's character, and fits with some of my other monstrous NPCs. She's Doctor Shiny's main minion, and their relationship serves as sort of a nasty counterpart to Gigi and Priscilla's. Of course, if you just want to use the stat block as a particularly burly slaad enforcer type, that works just as well as Ranna's baroque and macabre backstory.]

Ranna CR 18 CE Aberration This blue, frog-like humanoid has a triangular fanged snout, warty skin and enormous claws growing from the backs of their hands. A red gemstone is embedded in their skull, right between the eyes.

Marina Rhynne was an alchemy student at Endirion School in Absalom, prone to anxiety and to thinking with her stomach. She caught the eye of Doctor Agatha Shiny, who used the pretext of a dinner invitation and offer of a graduate program to abduct her and implant her with an alchemically treated red slaad egg. Doctor Shiny succeeded in one of her goals, which was to cause memories to be passed from the host to the parasite, but failed in that the resultant blue slaad did not maintain the intelligence of her progenitor. The resultant slaad, named Ranna, could recall her previous life in a hazy, dream-like way, but the predominant personality trait that was carried over was hunger.

Ranna is now Doctor Shiny’s Number One Minion, her assassin, procurer and lover. If Doctor Shiny needs someone eliminated or an unusual creature captured and brought to her, Ranna is the one to do it. She usually tracks her targets as an unassuming humanoid until she can set up an ambush and remove her greater hat of disguise. Ranna fights with her natural weapons almost exclusively, although she does occasionally toy with targets by battering them with heavy objects hurled by telekinesis. Although she is lapdog-loyal to Doctor Shiny and always follows her instructions for her specified victims, Ranna enjoys collateral damage, which usually involves biting bystanders. She views any red slaadi that are created through chaos phagethe way a proud parent views their children, and is happy to hear of any death and destruction they create.

Ranna’s personality is playful in a cruel way. She sees her progenitor, Marina Rhinne, as a pathetic figure, and has an air of contempt towards academic pursuits in general. She still appears as Rhynne when abroad in Absalom, and is the terror of Endirion School’s faculty, staff and students as Doctor Shiny’s personal assistant. Ranna is happy to play the bad guy so that Doctor Shiny can maintain her impeccable public reputation, and takes matters into her own claws if anyone gets too close to the truth about Doctor Shiny’s goals and activities. Ranna tends to dispose of the evidence of her murders by eating the corpses of her victims. She is also an excellent chef. Doctor Shiny does not eat food that Ranna prepares unless she is very sure of where the meat came from.

Hazel's Book Club

Hitting it off early with the first entry in this project, the halloween special! Showing off a few short stories with a halloween theme, because it is the time of year for it (and also because a lot of trans people vibe with the idea of dressing up as something or someone else, for whatever reason~)

First story is No Costume Required by MorningStarlight, a cute story about a halloween costume party, and a spell that makes costumes disappear (in a chaste way xP). Content warning for some use of the term s-ssy in a derogatory manner.

Second story of this lot is Another Halloween Story by BreadForBrunch, another halloween costume party story (you may notice a theme going on ;P) this time without any magic, unless you count the magic of friendship and love~ Anyways this one is about a "boy" crossdressing for a party enough to be unrecognisable. It's also longer, so I'm not going to scour it for content warnings but I remember it being rather safe, if a little tense at times.

Third up is The Witchual by @ravenkane, and it's, say it with me now, a story about a halloween costume party! A "boy" crossdresses but ends up at the wrong party, full of actual witches planning to make her feel comfortable :3 Content warning for puns, dysphoria, and light sexual references.

And finally, special mention to the Secret Trans Writing Lair's Autumn Anthologies. 2022 is freely available and highly recommended, and 2024 is available for only $6 to a group of amazing authors who you should definitely support (although I can't comment on this year's stories yet because I have yet to get around to reading them :<)

That concludes our first installment of Hazel's Book Club, I hope you enjoy!!

No rush and good luck! 🙌

Thank you so much for the ask, yay! I tried my best. And sorry for the wait! I had school finals ;-; Didn't really have much time nor energy to write--nonetheless, I enjoyed this!

"I'll admit, I can absolutely say the first X-Ray Monkeyman movie is fantastic, although the second film is compartively sub par..."

It was a quiet evening, sunlight flowing through the windows and painting the room in scarlet and tangerine. Within the pallid walls of the foundation, you were assigned the blandest of paperwork.

Well, it would've been a quiet evening if it weren't for Horropedia's--your best friend and current coworker-- perpetual chatter.

His voice tends to carry, Horropedia's, although nonetheless you didn't quite have the heart to silence his persistent jibber-jabbering. The absolute glow on his face whenever he discussed one of his favorite horror movies or was asked about the latest horror debate was incomparable to anyone you've ever seen, a gleaming grin on his face as his glasses shimmered with a tiny, piquant starlight in the evening sun. Eyes like honey, delicate and sweet, and an intellect, serrated, sharp.

Indeed, he had not a tint malevolence of in his jabbering or gaze, just passion.

"Hey! ... (y/n)? Earth to Miss (y/n)! You alright there?...It looked like you're looking straight into the void. Careful, the void stares back should you gaze too long," He chuckled heartily, taking a swig of his coffee.

"What? Oh, nothing." You muttered, shaking your head-- you blinked rapidly in the light of the sun, attempting to reorient yourself. "Lost in my thoughts. But, anyway, I still think the second movie's better than the first." You chuckled.

He smirked as he processed your counterclaim. "Actually, while I can respect your point, the first film is definitely better than the first. Scares are higher quality, the actors give a more believable performance..."

"Well, didn't the second film have better marketing?"

"Not quite. While the second film had a more active marketing campaign, the first one was more successful. In fact, in one of their first screenings, they sold limited edition glasses similar to the pivotal artifacts from the movie. It was only sold at the premiere, it was a huge success... in fact, these glasses aren't ordinary spectacles," He stated, proudly, pushing up his own glasses. "They were in fact the glasses sold at its premiere!"

"Oh, wait," He said excitedly, rushing over to you, "Those glasses look familiar... did you get them from the film's premiere? I did, myself--" He slipped off his glasses and stepped in front of you, proudly presenting the inner pattern of the frames to you, bumping shoulders with you. He was so absorbed in his ramblings, he didn't notice the streak of pink dashing across your face. "They may not look like much, but see here? This inner pattern--it's highly distinctive!"

Your face brightened at his enthusiasm. "I don't think so, but I guess you can look sometime."

He turned up to you, and slipped on his glasses again. "Wait, lemme see here for a second-"

Before you had a moment to object, he stepped right in front of your face and was peering to the side, in an attempt to see the inner rims--in doing so, he bumped noses with you as you gasped in surprise. It took him about three seconds to realize what he was doing.

One -- he touched noses with you, brilliant eyes amber in the dying sunlight, enthralled by his passions.

Two -- he peered to the side, searching for that telltale pattern in pure, analytical fascination.

Three -- he pulled a strand of hair out of your face, behind your ear, his movements, delicate.

It was to get a better view.

After that final moment ticked by, there was a beat as Horropedia stared at your face. Then his cheeks flooded with fuschia, his eyes growing wide as saucers. His hands began to shake.

"Oh." That's all he could stutter out.

For once, he had nothing to say.

"...I guess I'll...I'll...um..."

He slowly slipped off your glasses, taking a step back--just one.

He then, shakily, slipped off his own.

He stared down at the two pairs in his hands.

"...nope...haha...yours aren't the souvenirs..."

You couldn't speak.

His head tilted up again into your direction, glancing up at you as he continued to awkwardly fumble with both your glasses in his hands.

"...(y/n)?"

"...mm-hmm?"

"...Have I ever told you...uh...you look...look...I love the way you look...with...uh...your eyes with...your eyes are really gor--gorgeous with no glasses and your glasse-"

He didn't have a chance to finish his sentence. You had cut him off when your lips touched his.

It was a gentle, saccharine kiss, his supple lips meeting yours with adoring pressure and fast succession. His kiss was zealous, albeit pure--and clearly, he didn't mind it at all.

He was so absorbed into the kiss that, several moments later, both of your glasses clattered to the floor from his hands.

He dragged himself away, his visage frazzled and--to say it plainly, an absolute blushing mess.

"...Whoops," He chuckled, reluctantly bending down to scoop up both of your spectacles. He handed yours over, hands still shivering. "I--I believe these are yours." He said with an awkward grin as he shoved on his own glasses, brushing stray hairs out of his face.

You grappled your own glasses in your hands, an involuntary smile tugging at your lips.

"...(y/n)?" He asks.

"Yeah?"

"... thanks for listening to my stupid questions."

You step back up closer to him, his flustered expression a badge of his affection.

"It's my pleasure," You smile. "And, Horropedia?"

"...yes?"

"... would you like to take your glasses off again for a second?"

Some Solarpunk Game Ideas

Folks seem to enjoy me writing a bit about Solarpunk, so let me bring in something, that I have been thinking about a lot: Solarpunk in videogames. Because so far, all we have in that direction basically goes into some sort of city builder (Anno 2070), anti city builders (Terra Nil) or some sort of farming or crafting game.

The issue, I think, a lot of game developers, who want to do something with the genre, struggle against, is the rather peaceful and idealistic nature of Solarpunk. A lot of people do not feel it is right to make a Solarpunk game combat oriented. But most game genres are kinda reliant on some sort of combat. Now, while I disagree with this assessment (Solarpunk is as much about rebellion, as about the hopefully idealistic outcome of it), I understand the sentiment.

I personally would love to create a Solarpunk game, but on my own I just do not have the skills for that.

Still, I have thought about it a lot. So, I want to offer to you a couple of ideas for Solarpunk games in different genres, that could be developed. Yes, if you are interested in building out one of those ideas, you are welcome to just take it. Also: Yes, if you want more details on the ideas, you can totally contact me! No fear.

Visual Novel

Let me start with probably one of the genre most easily used under the umbrella of “peaceful”. A Visual Novel. Visual Novels can be all sort of storylines. A lot, obviously, are romance focused, but you can use the genre to tell all sort of stories. Hence, telling a story in a Solarpunk world, could be very easy. And technically you are almost unlimited, about the kind of story you want to tell.

My personal favorites, when it comes to the ideas, is for once a polyamorous romance VN. See, most romance focused VNs do have different story paths depending on which romance you pursue and within that storyline you are very linear. I do think for several reasons, that polyamory and Solarpunk work very well together – so, why not try and mix it up?

Another idea, though, could be a storyline about building up a community within a storyline featuring the challenges of building a new community. Both social problems, as well as technical and environmental issues. This one would actually build a lot around the characters within the community you build and about you getting to know them.

Puzzle Game

Another genre that works well without any sort of violence, is puzzle games. And there would be a lot of possibility here to explore. After all, you can find a lot of reasons the player has to do puzzles of all sort.

The idea I have for this genre, is the idea of repairs. A lot of Solarpunk is also build around the “right to repair” and also around community help and community workshops. So, as the player you take over the role of someone volunteering in such a workshop helping all sorts of different customers with their repair and DIY projects. To repair things, you have to complete all sorts of puzzles.

Point-and-Click Adventure

Another genre, that most of the time does not involve much violence, is that of the old Point-and-Click Adventure. These often, obviously, have a lot of puzzle elements, too, but obviously tends to have a lot more story advancement in there. A lot of the most notable examples of the genre, are rather focused on humor, though you can tell all sorts of stories with the genre, if you really wanted to.

My idea for this, is the story of an archeologist in anno 2500 Solarpunk future unearthing the remains of an ancient 2020s city. A kinda genre reversion of the entire Indiana Jones thing – only that instead of someone being all archeologist-adventurous about something from what we call the “ancient past”, it is people from the future exploring the present. I don’t know. I found that idea kinda cute.

RPG

Now, last genre and idea for today. RPGs typically tend to be combat focused and use combat and XP claimed from it to advance. But of course the basic of it – Role Playing – does not need to use combat as a mechanic. You could use all sorts of mechanics to do this. You do not even need any sort of level progression technically – though of course this mechanic is so closely linked to the core of the game genre, that it is hard to think without it. Still, there recently have been quite a few cozy RPGs, that do not feature combat.

Cozy RPGs often feature you helping other characters and advancing through that. So, why not make it an RPG about mutual aid within a young Solarpunk community. Things of all sorts need to be done. Someone needs you to find a certain spare part. Someone else needs you to find people willing to help with a roof repair. Yet another person wants you to help in the community kitchen. And maybe at the same time you and the people in your town are trying to repair the environmental impact on the surrounding area, leading you to go out into the wildness around.

That’s it for some ideas right now. I might post other ideas at some other point, if you guys are interested.

As I said, I would kinda love to develop some ideas, but… Not alone. So… We’ll see.

hallooo (⁠/⁠･⁠ω⁠･/ 🎉

i liked Kamuro's headcanons and ideals smm, indeed he's very underrated to me, and i trully enjoy seeing ppl that actually appreciates him ♡⁠(⁠˃͈⁠ ⁠દ⁠ ⁠˂͈⁠ ⁠༶⁠ ⁠)!!

Could you make a Ritsu version? I would like to know what you think about him too, If you don't mind, of course!

- nosy anon (again)

Hello again anon!!! And yes sure, I don't mind at all. I have less headcanons for him so it might be a bit briefer than the last one. 😅 (Also I'm so sorry for publishing this late, I've been feeling down lately).

(Excuse the gif I don't have that many lmfao)

GENERAL HCS (and ideas).

︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶

-> Although he doesn't really find the appeal in music, he does listen to soft sounding compositions during his studying. All instrumental.

-> Even being a very smart boy and having had competed in the math nationals, he struggles a bit with algebra sometimes.

-> The year Tokugawa and Kamuro left was especially hard regarding duties, since they were the ones who helped the most regarding council matters. Them now going to highschool does leave him with a lot more things to do, though he's quick to grow used to it and eventually finds a way to balance out his time once more.

-> The diaries/journals he keeps help a lot with stress relief, and also a manner of building up writing skill. Furthermore, he has a nice caligraphy.

-> Sometimes helps Sho in taking care of his hamster, he finds the fluffy animal to be cute and has grown somewhat attached to it too.

-> Sometimes the guilt of his past actions still catch up to him and it causes him to behave somewhat distant for a while, feeling undeserving even though he has long made things right.

-> Although they don't go to school together anymore, still keeps up with Kamuro sometimes. Even when they don't speak all that often anymore, he still finds it nice to have a chat with someone he could somewhat relate to.

-> It's also stated that he's very jumpy, and doesn't really like bugs. As silly as it might be, he's afraid of insects and prefers to keep himself as far away from them as possible.

-> It's mentioned he excels in pretty much every school field including sports, and I like to think he's good at volleyball, and an unsurprisingly good team player overall.

-> Likes birds, but doesn't own any due to lack of time to take care of it.

-> His sleep schedule isn't that bad, but it's stull troublesome either way, and it keeps him very drained sometimes.

-> Actually has a cool taste in clothing (unlike someone), his wardrobe has pretty nice clothes. Aside from the ones Mob has passed down, anyway.

︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶︶

Hahajdb I feel like this should be longer, but truth is I don't think that much about Ritsu, hence why I don't have all that much headcanons about him. Xp

[thatsmutaccount]

Oh boy, this is a difficult one.

Just so we are all clear I'm putting this first thing first: this chapter focus heavily on the theme of incest and has an explicit sexual scene between brothers (both over 18, btw), so if this is something you don't like or find in some way disturbing or triggering, please don't read. The central part also delves heavily into the description of bullying incidents and depiction of a toxic home environment. There is no actual scene, this episodes are only mentioned, still if you find this triggering be warned. These bullying incidents are in no way sexual, btw, just to be clear, just old Rex being an asshole as usual.

Yeah, about this chapter and this theme in particular, let's talk about it. I confess that in canon media it's not something I like. If I read a book or watch a movie or a TV series where there are two characters that are related to each other I do not like to read fan fiction where they are depicted having an incestuous relationship. I explain it in the note at the beginning of the chapter, but basically for me familial love is something completely different for romantic/sexual love, and the two can't be compared or confused with each other. Of course (I think is obvious but better be safe than sorry) I do not support incest in real life and I do not want to romanticize it in any way, the only reason I'm writing about is because is a fictional scenario and because my stories are so out of this world and "cartoony" that honestly something like that could probably never happen.

So, that being said, why am I an hypocrite and write incest stories between fictional made up adults while saying I don't like it? Because I created them to be this way. Rex is messed up, he is in no way a "normal" character: he never had a sane relationship with his family, so he never formed that bond of familial love with them, and vice versa the other never saw him as someone actually related to them. Because his situation is so different and his feeling are so complicated I was able to write this chapter, and others still on this line (you want a real incest-fest? Go read ch 28 of this story, "Family beach fun", that is really messed up XP). Rex is supposed to have this feeling that are not of familial love but of sexual attraction towards the members of his family, and because of this I have no problem writing him this way.

Anyway, rant aside, let's talk story, yay! I like how I wrote it. For once I tried to be more touchy feely with a major hurt/comfort vibe. Still there is a lot of sex and I like how I handled it.

Anyway I'm currently having Rex/Mike brainrot (and just Rex/Mike brainrot) and, for some reason, I want to write more stuff about these two, and by that I mean a lot of chapters with just Mike and Rex being dumbasses in love, and of course I can't because "Rex new life" has its own schedule and has to be balanced with the characters in it. Soooooo... I will probably publish a short long/one shot collection with some prompts that will be just Rex/Mike.

What do you think of this idea? Yay or nay? I would probably take some prompts from around Tumblr and such and just publish them.

Wish me luck not to be banned here in doing so, and enjoy this chapter, see ya dudes!!!!!

*****

CHAPTER SUMMARY: The time has finally come for Rex to confront his brother. Will things between the two finally be explained? Will they get their closure? Or is the gap between them so deep that it can never be bridged?

[myopinionisimportant]

I've been thinking about Sunless Skies a lot lately (even when I'm not playing it! Wild, right?) and in particular from a game-design point of view,

because it's an interesting one. It looks like a trading sim. You've got your vessel and you've got various trade goods, and different places sell different ones, and the idea is to buy low and sell high and make a profit that way, right? You know the kind of thing.

Except you'll quickly notice that isn't really right. Firstly because the markets are so limited - in general, places sell one trade good, plus fuel and/or supplies, and - outside of special contracts you can pick up - only one port in each area will actually buy any of those goods off you. The prices are generally the same everywhere, too - sometimes you can get special deals, but if you buy Hours in Lustrum or Literature from Perdurance, you'll be selling them at the same price back in London.

The only ways to make a profit from trading stuff are (a) getting and fulfilling those special contracts (since they pay more than usual), (b) grabbing goods at lower-than-market-price opportunities, or (c) get them for free, usually by fighting things. Because it's not a trading game - it's an action RPG.

And that being the case, I don't know, it's a little frustrating. I don't know why. I don't normally try to play as a merchant in those sorts of games - if I'm playing Morrowind or Pirates or whatever, I'm playing it to get into fights, and if that gives me stuff I can sell, that's just a bonus. But Sunless Skies feels and looks so much like you're supposed to play it that way (especially since combat is really difficult and quite risky when you start out, and you need a lot of cash and xp to use the best weapons and armour), the fact that you basically can't? Yeah. Frustrating.

I still really enjoy it, because I like RPGs and it happens to be a great one - great writing, great characters, gorgeous setting - but that initial disconnect made it hard for me to get into at first.

Hi :3 I read your Ezekiel x reader and I was sooo happy! I wanted to ask if you could do a second part to the Ezekiel x yandere reader xP thank you and your writing is soooooo good!!!!!

Hiyaaa!💗 Thank you so much for complimenting my writing! I’m so happy to hear you enjoyed the first Ezekiel x reader! I hope you enjoy this part two!❤️

EZEKIEL X YANDERE! HOUSEWIFE! READER HEADCANONS (PART 2)

Married life was magical when you got the love of your life to think the same of you in his life.

Getting to fold all the clothes you bought for yourselves, wash and iron, drowning your nostrils in his scent.

That enchanting scent.

You keep all the hair you find of his whenever you’re changing the bedsheets or vacuuming the floors.

You devote an area of the bedroom to a shrine crafted for him, including your wedding dress and his groom suit.

You have to be selfish sometimes.

Every time he comes back home, you press your lips all over him.

Every dinner is made in accordance to what he craved for that day or week, and you always found a way to make the food spell out his name or outline his face.

You play love songs in the background. To make it more romantic, you tried burning incense once however when Ezekiel began coughing and his eyes went watery, you disposed of it right away to never use again.

For the first few days of living together, you brushed his teeth for him after being alerted that Ezekiel had no clue which direction he was meant to follow for cleaning teeth.

So you happily took it upon yourself to enforce the importance of hygiene.

Bubble baths everyday.

In turn, you got to drink his bathwater and lick his deodorant.

Lemony...

Nonetheless, you take care of his shaving for him, that being marked for.

Every evening, you would also renew your wedding vows.

"Holmes I can't lie to you...” he stretches his arms up,“But I'm a bit wiped out today. Do' think we can skip the vows today and have din dins early?"

"Skip vows today?” you gasp, couldn’t believe what you were hearing,“How do you expect me to stay sane if we skip vows any day? You know how much this means to me darling! Please? I feel terrible for asking anything of you, but can you pull through? I promise I’ll make a larger portion of supper tonight!"

Every evening.

All walls in that house is occupied by at least ten picture frames of Ezekiel.

He frequently wonders what you do for a living, since surely housekeeping wasn’t hectic enough for you to take care of majority of the bills and vacations.

“It’s nothing for you to worry about my love.” you assure him, giving him a kiss on the cheek.

Any day, anniversary or birthday, you arrange getaways at the expensive tourist destinations like Dubai, United States, Brazil, Kenya, Australia, England at the best hotels and best plane seats.

Whenever he falls ill, you refuse to let him do anything and confine him to the marriage bed.

At moment’s command, you are right there.

Heating pad, tissues, soup, vomit bucket, ice cream, cold water.

Ezekiel actually didn’t know what hospitals were, making him more reliant on you- or how you called it, bonding.

Knew that nursing course would pay off!

You loved being the only one he could really depend on.

But it feels that something’s missing.

Nothing about possessions or housing. You had done everything. But it’s something. Something greater than money.

It became clearer with every single turning down of Ezekiel’s suggestion about inviting his family over or going on a day trip to visit them, the one thing you refuse to grant him.

Family.

Of course. It was the thing bumping this wistful pacemaker in his behaviour.

Ezekiel... Your darling...he’s lonely.

You were both bound to be maternally and paternally deprived eventually. How you wished you were like him, whose came later.

It’s for his own good. A man and a woman is supposed to vacate their parents. Staying in touch with them would only have him getting used to seeing them and depending on them which would be more painful in the long run when they die.

Maybe now was the time to take their places, and conceive what would plant both the McLean and Miller family trees forward to see another generation.

Now?

You blush at the thought.

“I’m not so sure, bird...” your darling husband scratches the back of his neck, “When I was growing up back on the farm, my daddio was also here to raise me. If I have to go out being a rockstar everyday, the little ones might not know who their dad is. Besides, a man is needed around to raise strong children. Even the gal ones.”

“We can take turns!” you involuntarily latch yourself on top of him.

Ezekiel still hasn’t gotten used to this form of treatment, but trusts you enough to allow it,“My ma said pregnancy changed her life, eh?”

“How mine’s changed before it!” you adoringly play with a strand of his brown hair,“When I first saw you, my soul felt complete and my void was no more. I had never felt love stronger than you and now, I physically can’t survive without you.”

“Poetic, eh?” he gruffly laughs, your feelings going over him,“Not sure if that’d help in parenting, yo. Don’t wanna accidentally teach the girls it’s their world to be yappin’ in.”

Your response is a placid remark of your own femininity,“How beautiful my body is.“ an old nursery rhyme wraps your words,“Two loonies make a toonie, now aren’t I a scholar?”

Sleep well while you can, husband!

Hello, Could you do an imp servant reader x Crimson Knolastname?

Thank you

Ah Crimson my ol bread and butter at this point XP Sure thing! Not sure what exactly you mean by 'servant' so I'll just write as essentially your a staff member like the maid, like actual employment instead of like a slave, cause I prefer it that way personally.

Crimson with an Imp Servant Reader.

Well you might not expect it with his general demeanor with his lackeys, Crimson actually treats and pays those who handle the day to day tasks of the manor pretty well, good treatment encourages loyalty and tight lips after all.

He's not all lax with them though, he wants them to do their job and to him that's their sole purpose. As long as they do that and don't bother him unnecessarily he pays them little attention.

That's how it was with you too until, who eventually helped the other staff around the house with everything at times, before Crimson eventually decided it might help him to have a personal assistant of sorts. Picking you out of the blue and seemingly at random.

You of course had interacted with Crimson before, he was your boss and you talked at times. But your job going from sometimes catching a glimpse and maybe conversation from him, to being on helping him specifically was a change for sure.

You handled it okay, you kinda were a general helper around the manor so you knew how to do a lot of stuff. You kept notes in order, made sure he got fed, readied baths and picked out clothes. Managing to do it all with lukewarm thanks from the mob boss.

He eventually warmed up to you, slow as a sloth but still. Starts asking you stay to talk with him at times, and generally being more friendly to you. Which you appreciate of course.

But eventually you realize that he's brinking you along on more things then necessary, and also being very irritable if anyone messes or even questions you, which while you appreciate, confuses you considering his pretty uninvolved approach with his staff.

Eventially he ends up not only asking you to stay with him for dinner, but also getting the chefs to make you dinner as well, a meal you realize you mentioned it once, saying you liked it during one of your chats. And then your alot more suspiscous at the care he puts into treating you.

You eat with him, not wanting to look a gift horse in the mouth, but it keeps happening, you also recieving some gifts from him too. And the third time you have dinner with him, you question why he's being so nice to you. Him dismissing it with a blush you notice, despite his red skin making your curiosity peak.

"If i didn't know any better I'd say you were trying to be romantic with me Crimson sir."You state matter of factly, making his eyes go wide before he shrugs with a sigh

"I think I'm allowed to be nice in my home, if I want things to be pleasant with someone I happen to spend so much time with"Is the answer you get, not being a no or yes which frustrates you, but you shrug it off as you get up, it's the end of the day anyway, late dinner and all and your finished, saying goodbye as you put your coat on before stopping and turning back to him.

"By the way, since your feel so generous to treat me to dinner multiple times, if you feel like it, show up at my place tommorow at seven, I'll give you some dinner if you want." and with that you leave, leaving a very flustered mob boss in your wake. Okay there you go, probably one of my weaker ones If I'm gonna be honest, but tried my best with the idea XP Hope you enjoy!

04-07-2024; travels with epicurus, daniel klein

"Beauty is equilibrium, and equilibrium is beauty."

popping into bouquiniste books in st. andrews i saw a book sale and obviously had to nab a few, and while i recognised neither the title or author, at the mention of epicurus i decided to grab this one! i’ve absolutely supremely enjoyed klein’s “meditations on old age”, and while it has taken me almost a year to get to reading them, the timing alongside my transition to uni made this experience even more valuable. overall, to really penetrate the academic language and deeper philosophy concepts i think i would deeply benefit at reading it again. the book is not exceptionally lengthy, but it still took me a bit to get through as i often had to sit back and ponder each section as i read.

My Sartrean Ethics Crisis of 2024

this was, admittedly, a very small section of the text, but i’ll talk about it at length here because i found it incredibly impactful (believe it or not, for a book on old age I was not the target audience!).  foreword: i had not yet had the privilege of reading a single word of satre’s before this book. one of klein’s strengths is being able to cover a myriad of concepts and authors/philosophers n such a short time, but obviously doing so limits the depth and span of which he can discuss; tldr, he has sparked a great interest of satre in me, so if you have any recommendations besides his most famous (which i’ve already added to my tbr) or your own takes on his writing, i’m dying for more and would love to hear xP

to continue:

klein writes as such; “In Sartrean ethics we are directed to live authentically— “authenticity” being Satre’s take on the almost universally accepted injunction “To thine own self be true.” A person lives authentically if he operates from the principle that his existence precedes his essence. He is not essentially, say, a waiter or a Democrat or a daytime drinker, these are roles he may choose to play, but not innate qualities that he cannot transcend. For example, an authentic person cannot in good faith say, “I drink two scotches at lunch because that is just the way I am.” He would be treating himself as an object with immutable characteristics, not existing as a subject with the ability to choose who he is and what actions he takes.”

this concept i’m well acquainted with, and i liked to think i understood and internalized. however, what he follows this with has completely shifted my sense of self, and has deepened this concept to the point that i think i can now actually begin to comprehend non-essentialism.

he goes on to say “For me, the most relevant piece here is Sartre's warning against treating oneself as an object. This is a rare bit of moral philosophy that I can actually feel: treating myself as an object makes me feel less alive, less myself. When, say, I find myself in the frame of mind where I am convinced that I am essentially an inconsiderate person and there's nothing to be done about it, I not only feel defeated, I feel that in denying my ability to willfully change I have stopped being truly alive. But at the same time it would be ridiculous not to accept what is beyond my control: I can no more choose to be a young man than I can choose to be tall and blue eyed.

Basically, most of us want to be as responsible for our lives as we can be—it is fundamental to making our lives our own. I choose, therefore I am who I am.”

i could not for the life of me understand the concept of “there is no essential, one true ‘(y/n)’”, i was limiting myself because i didn’t connect that letting our roles invade our essential beings goes beyond my job, or my hobbies, i didn’t connect anything! i feel much freer now, i am essentially nothing, and therefore i am free to change, it is not a betrayal of self. i may have done a horrible job of explaining my thoughts just there, i apologise, it’s far too wrapped up in my emotions to be clear and concise.

another conclusion i reached after only being able to make connections to the midnight gospel: i need to read more philosophy. my catalogue is so small that its an 8 episode mini series made by some guy with a podcast.. i mean its a fantastic series but that cannot be it for me. i’ve had a lovely taster of some of the thoughts of so many of the big ones in this, as well as some of his personal favourites and i feel so inspired now to learn!! 

this book is amazing in that i feel like its enforced my positive view on life! i’d really love to go back to this after a lifetime of studying philosophy and aging and seeing how much more deeply I understand the text, i hope i do

Hiroko Mamushi

“Tsuchinoko real” © FurAffinity user Malificus, accessed at faer page here

[This is one of the main NPCs in a one on one game I’m running online for @strawberry-crocodile​. The Therian Institute introduced here is basically Alcatraz for lycanthropes, and I may very well write up more of the characters there as Codex entries throughout the next couple of months. I’ve been looking for an excuse to make a nagaji character themed around a tsuchinoko for some time, and this was a good opportunity. Her namesake, the mamushi, is a Japanese pit viper related to copperheads and water moccasins. ]

Hiroko Mamushi CR 6 LN Humanoid (reptilian) This woman is short and stout, with olive scales covering her body and a tousled crop of black hair. She wears heavy padded clothing sewn with iron plates, and carries a messenger bag packed with bandages, herbs and stranger remedies over her shoulders.

Hiroko Mamushi was born in Kalsgard, the descendent of Minkaian immigrants. She was blessed from an early age with an intuitive understanding of how animals work and how to heal, but conversely grew increasingly sensitive to cold as she aged. When she became an adult, she moved from working with horses in stables to becoming a full fledged zookeeper, as much to enjoy the warmth of heated enclosures as anything. She tried the traveling adventurer lifestyle, using her healing magic to support her party, but found it less to her liking than a roof over her head and steady pay.

And that’s where things went wrong. Hiroko didn’t fully read the contract offered her by the Therian Institute, a private facility on an island in Lake Encarthan, thirty miles southeast of Caliphas. Thinking it was an ordinary, albeit exotic, zoo, she signed on as a veterinarian, only to discover that the place is actually a private prison holding lycanthropes, monstrous humanoids, and other beast-men away from “civilized society”. This is her third year working at the Institute; she has continued to renew her contract despite her disgust at the prison in the hopes that she can at least make its inmates’ lives better. The other doctor at the facility, Melasai Hasani, is a violent sadist and worshiper of Zon-Kuthon; Hiroko spends as much time making sure any prisoners do not die from her rival’s ministrations as anything else.

Hiroko wears armor and carries a shield on her back during her usual work day, as she is ready for attacks from out of control lycanthropes or spiteful guards alike. Hiroko does not particularly like violence, but is willing to use it. She has spat venom in the face of an officer at least once to prevent him from beating a prisoner to death. She has earned the nickname “Needle Killer” from the guards due to her use of acupuncture in treatment, and accepts that sobriquet grudgingly. To deal with the stress of her job, she plays cards and dice with her few friends among the prison staff, and drinks more than she should.

Hiroko wears a wig as much to keep her head warm as anything else.

Hiroko Mamushi           CR 6 XP 2,400 Nagaji oracle 7 LN Medium humanoid (reptilian) Init +0; Senses low-light vision, Perception +8 Defense AC 20, touch 10, flat-footed 20 (+6 armor, +2 shield, +1 natural) hp 56 (7d8+21) Fort +6, Ref +2, Will +4; +2 vs. mind-influencing effects, poison, -4 vs. cold Offense Speed 20 ft.

noticed your bio,,, how are you liking aai / aai2 ? :3

omg thanks for asking !! becuz I haven't really gotten into aai2 yet, i'll just talk about aai :P (btw it seems i am physically incapable of not writing an essay. I'm so sorry)

I found the gameplay loop soooo enjoyable. I was expecting to miss the courtroom segments a lot, but actually found myself preferring how fast-based investigations conversations were ??? Like, in the main series, I'd almost always have to take a break during court sections, but found I had to take a break a lot less here.

I also played aai1 SO QUICKLY. I got through the first 4 case in 3 days, and then finished up the 5th case the next weekend. I've never played an ace attorney game that fast in my life. Usually they take me a few weeks - a couple months, cuz I get sleepy from reading LOL and take a lot of breaks. It was probably a mix of the quicker paced segments and the hype around September 6 that got me to finish it so quick. Now I'm a little burnt out heehee. I really liked the first game !!!! I thought each case was so charming.

Admittedly, I'm not as big a fan of Kay as I had thought I'd be going into it.. but maybe she'll continue to grow on me in the second game. I also, in general, prefer Phoenix's dialogue to Edgeworth's (don't kill me Edgeworth stans), but it didn't affect my enjoyment negatively very much. (he also had some shining moments. the "I win" part against the window in aai1-4 is one of my favs) (CALISTO YEW I LOVE YOU TY FOR LAUGHING AT BRATWORTH IT WAS SO GRATIFYING)

HAVE MORE.... the mUSIIICCCCCCC omfg i found myself just pausing the game sometimes when Lying Coldly kicked in lmao.. One critisism about the port... I wish they made it easier to go back and forth between the new and old art styles without going out to the main menu.... I played mostly with the new sprites ,, and would occasionally switch to the old one just to compare sprites,, but it was so tedious to do so that I rarely did.

Okay, last thing, I learned of Quercus Alba through the circle jerk ace attorney subreddit lol, where he and his extraterritorial rights are a meme. So instead of finding the prolonged final case annoying as some have, I found it very comedic and charming. It also had some great moments in it. (Honestly the part of that case I didn't like the most was that I struggled so hard to keep the names and places straight in my head,, but that's kinda on me xP)

Anyways all-in-all i really really enjoyed it :33333 I'm so stoked to get energy again to continue with AAI2 because everyone says that one's like, peak ace attorney. And if I already liked the 1st one, i'm gonna be like... blown away... I will say so far that this is like the most intense first case omg

[thefatisland]

I found a Formerly Fit example from the webtoon, “My Life as a Loser 2”. The first chapter has the main character having gotten overweight since the end of its previous.

Very interesting! Thanks for sharing! I had found another webtoon with a similar weight gain through a Youtube video, and it made me realize how this seems like a "vaguely" common thing among these specific creations - it echoed also some of the weight gain/loss moments of "Lookism" (which, as an aside, I used to enjoy but grew to hate so much)

[Okay, brief rant about Lookism - I originaly dug the concept, you know, it felt fresh and weird and unusual, and yeah it was dark but it covered some serious and needed topics. But on one hand the whole thing grew so much dark and about evil people and stuff that I remembered I joked a long time ago "Does the author of Lookism actually hate South Korea? Because from the way he keeps describing everything wrong with it upped to 100% degrees, you'd think Korea is just filled with bullies, rapists, mafia, serial killers and disturbed psychos. And on the other hand what I actually grew to hate is how this webtoon was so fucking inconsistent. The tone kept switching from serious to goofy to family drama to action movie to lifeschool slice of life to pure horror, and the plot went fucking everywhere, it was like a blended mix of every type of manhwa around, it made zero sense in the long run... Anyway, I don't like Lookism at all Xp Though it does have one interesting character in terms of weight gain and body sizes, too bad he is in one of those "Bakugou" cases where the author makes you want to enjoy him as a side character and a "goofy" sidekick when he starts out as the worst piece of scum ever... Another thing I hate about Lookism - for a comic supposedly anti-bullying, it seems to forgive bullies and teach a "don't stand up to bullies, just be strong enough they won't bully you" type of logic... Anyway]

Okay I found back the other weight gain example I found - it is from "Wind Breaker", a webtoon about bicycle competition apparently? And there's this side character that undergoes a "Let's gain mass to be stronger", except he just becomes very fat, and to do a bicycling race it is not the best thing. If you google "Wind Breaker weight gain" online you'll find tons of vids or TikTik/Instas/whatever that all go crazy about how the character turned fat for a while...

But yeah I kind of see these three instances as answering something quite similar in those webtoons. Some sort of, I don't know... There's something there.

And oh wait... Oh shit I remember now! Okay so, the thing is that I am reading the chapter as I write this, and it just clicked that I used to look at this webtoon! X) Not this one but the previous "My Life as a Loser". I started reading it when in its prime when the first series was still going on - it wasn't finished and I didn't follow up with the rest afterward... I had forgotten all about it X) And damn, they don't joke on the "fanservice". What the heck this is basically all a lot of us had been looking for... You've got the belly slam, the stripping, the butt-crack showing, the after/before comparison... I feel like things are culminating

[As a French person, it truly cracks me up that the definition of a "rich meal" includes just tons of baguettes in baskets Xp]

[greatpurpledumbass]

I haven't even described how I'm doing Learned skills (name pending tbh) and how kits work and that I made one. (Of about 13 kits.) There's actually a lot of shit mentioned below. Enjoy sorta panicked excited rambling.

This is me rambling because I realized I haven't said shit about my most recent developments.

Learned skills are the (I hope temporary) name of unique things a character gains up to 6 times a game when they gain enough Ability points to level up, and oh god I didn't describe that here either oh no.

There are 8 abilities split between Innate and Learned abilities, basically things you get good at by doing vs studying or more active practice. They are on a 100 point scale and each 20 and 50 you get a bonus to that ability's dice rolls.

Additionally those 20 and 50 benchmarks are when a player levels up, and gaining them is more a by DM choice (like ritual sites or symbolic combat XP- eg. Carrying bones) than a strict rules thing. I'll have write-ups at some point in the future after I wrote about what these Learned Skills are. And a better name.

These learned skills, despite only ever having 6 (I only count the first time you reach each benchmark, at 20-40-50-60-80-100, can be quite strong and I will probably need to make more of them stronger rather than weaker - or scale them off of which benchmark you are at? Ideas on the spot.

"Overture"

(Before you read this, this is my first fanfic so expect a bit of bad writing here and there. This is one of many parts of this fanfic, which will establish the main plot of the story in a way and what I want to do with the story. This part of the fic revolves around Splatoon since I find it a little fitting to start the fic here and that I like these silly little squids XP. Enjoy!!)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Alterna; a large futuristic facility underneath the Splatlands containing all sorts of human history from long ago. Once a history vault filled with history considered ancient to inkling and octoling culture (Which nobody would be able to find on their own), is now the hideout of the New Squidbeak Splatoon and members of the force, Agents 1 and 2 (The Squid Sisters, Callie and Marie), and their Captain had already called some friends to share a fascinating discovery...

"Marie, can you believe this?? I can't WAIT to show everyone else!" Callie said, being the more hyper Squid Sister.

Marie sighs, not being as excited as her cousin. "Well, if by 'everyone else' you mean the people we can actually trust, then yeah. I can hardly wait..", she says as a response to Callie's energetic nature. "I still can't believe a simple discovery got you this hyped up."

"A SIMPLE discovery!? Marie, this is the discovery of a lifetime!!", she said, seeming a little offended at her cousin's words.

"Callie...I'm gonna be honest with you, I'd say I'm pretty excited myself, but you're not seeing me bouncing off the walls about it, aren't you?"

Callie's enthusiasm didn't seem to decline one bit. "Come on, Marie. The least you can do is get more PUMPED about this! Right, Captain?" The Captain of the New Squidbeak Splatoon nodded in agreement, despite being extremely calm and silent about the matter.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Some time has passed since Callie and Marie told some people they know about this discovery. Callie's enthusiasm didn't seem to wear off, while Marie had no means of waiting any longer.

"They aren't coming, Callie. We should just go home...like I wanted to.."

"But, Marie! We should at least wait a little while longer! All my texts to them had a whole bunch of details that made it look like they HAD to check this out!"

Marie grumbles in annoyance "Oh, so yet again, it's my fault that my texts are 'undetailed' and 'boring'? What a surprise.", her voice dripping with sarcasm. "We should just regroup tomorrow and-"

"AYO! YOU COULD'VE AT LEAST GIVEN US MORE INSTRUCTIONS!"

An inkling, who was Pearl Houzuki, one half of another famous Inkopolis duo, Off The Hook, came by with an octoling which she and her partner Marina named Eight. "You didn't tell us that this place was UNDERGROUND!", Pearl yelled.

Marie looked at Callie with a smirk. "Who has the undetailed text messages now, huh?"

"..You didn't even tell them where to find us either!"

"...Fair point."

"Okay, okay, enough talk. Which one of you is gonna lead the way?", Pearl chimed in while walking towards them.

“Oh, yay!! I’ll be happy to-” “Slow down there, Cal. I should lead the way. You might get us all lost.” Marie says after interrupting her cousin and moving her aside.

Callie retaliates to this little remark; “Heh. Says the girl who never had a job as a tour guide. I remember where we found it, I swear! I can get us all there just fine. Easy!”

Before the two cousins could bicker any further, the Captain got up from their resting place and began to lead the way.

“...Well, it doesn't matter, anyway. We have to follow the Captain now.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Everyone then arrived at many different multi-colored portals in Alterna, each leading to a new and different unknown world.

“We’re here!! See? Isn't it just AMAZING!?” Callie said, not even trying to stay calm in the slightest. 

Pearl however, was very confused at this sight. “It’s just a bunch of colored portals?”

“I know! Cool, huh?”

Eight looked fascinated at the portals. VERY fascinated. She couldn’t help but wonder what each portal contained, all of them having unique features that she had yet to discover.

Marie began to speak again, “Well, one day we just found them here while Agent 3 was going through Alterna and reported them to us.” It’s true that nobody in the New Squidbeak Splatoon knew about the existence of these portals before or where they came from, but the thing that mattered was that they were there, and no one knew what to do with them.

Pearl then sees how interested Eight was with the portals. “Ayo, Eight. Whaddya say we check one of these things out?”

Eight looked at Pearl. They knew these portals might be dangerous. They KNEW the possible consequences of simply hopping into one, but they nodded eagerly, clearly excited to find out what was to come.

“Marie, look! I forgot how colorful and pretty they were! They even look more pretty everytime I look at them!”

“...Hm…okay..they ARE pretty cool.”

“Yay!!”

The Squid Sisters continued to talk together, while the Captain realized something: Eight and Pearl were gone. They first figured that they entered one of the portals, but they didn’t know which one, so that meant they had to take a random guess.

The Captain proceed to just drag the girls into a portal with them. 

“...Times like this i wish that the Captain actually LIKED to talk…”

…Meanwhile, 3 mysterious masked figures watching above had seen everything and actually knew all about the portals. 

“...Hm. These new worlds could be new banditing mines for us…”

“Yeah..We can make all kinds of loot! We’ll steal it from right under their noses!”

“Ay! Ay… (Yeah! But, it still might be dangerous…)”

“...Oh well. We’re still going in at least one of them.”

(TO BE CONTINUED)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Okay!! Hope you liked this! Again, this first part establishes the plot of the overall fic and gives an idea of what will probably happen with other fics I'll write when all of this is done. More to come, but it'll take some time.
