Chivalrous Shadow, Shrouded in Cloud
"A new resident in the city, you say? Oh, it's Cloud— I mean, Xianyun. Don't be fooled by her usual manner... She's someone you can truly rely on when the going gets tough. If you ever find yourself in trouble, just tell her — I'm sure she'd be willing to help."
— Madame Ping
◆ Name: Xianyun
◆ Title: Passerine Herald
◆ New Resident in Liyue Harbor
◆ Vision: Anemo
◆ Constellation: Grus Serena
Everyone has something to say about Xianyun: "That tall woman with the updone hair," "that bespectacled artisan," or perhaps "that talkative new neighbor." They all say different things, but together they paint a picture of the impression she leaves — of someone who's witty, chatty, warm-hearted, and easy to get along with.
But that's not how Xianyun sees herself. In her own eyes, she's inarticulate, reserved, and unyieldingly proud. Aside from her mastery of mechanics and knack for making all kinds of little trinkets, it's an entirely different image from how others would describe her.
Some curious individuals, seeing how her mannerisms and bearing set her apart from ordinary folk, are convinced that she's a heroine — so they go around trying to uncover her heroic backstory and whether she goes by any other names.
Ask the Wangsheng Funeral Parlor's consultant, and with a wave of his hand, he'd say: "Xianyun? We're not well acquainted, but going by her name, she sounds like a good person."
Ask Madame Ping from Yujing Terrace, and she'd nod and reply: "Xian... Oh, Xianyun? We've crossed paths, yes... She's a good person, you know. Once you've met, you'll find that your days seem to go by much more smoothly."
Ask Ganyu, and she'd nod too: "She is a heroine, but a very discreet one — hence why she's living incognito in Liyue Harbor."
Ask Shenhe, and she'd respond pensively: "Xianyun... Of course, she's a master. Whatever you do, you must not offend her."
As it turns out, such speculations are not wrong. There's far more to Xianyun than meets the eye, but those who know the full story are few indeed. If someone was to address her as "Cloud Retainer"... Well, people would know her instantly, and you'd hear a torrent of praise flow her way: "Who doesn't know Cloud Retainer? Noble, brave, loyal, and wise... A most worthy friend if ever there was one!"
So try asking Xianyun herself then: "Are you a heroine? Surely you're not... an adeptus?"
You catch the new resident just as she's working on her latest invention, her pride and joy — what she calls an "Exquisite Mini Broth Pot." She's too absorbed to take the question seriously, so she simply waves it off as a load of old nonsense and tells you not to bother her while she's busy.
As for what exactly an Exquisite Mini Broth Pot is... No one really knows, other than having been told that it brings out flavors much better than a regular soup pot. Likewise, none would know how profoundly it might impact Liyue Harbor's future gastronomic development. Suffice to say — if Xianyun says it'll be impressive, it'll be impressive alright.

„my boyfriend reacts to my instagram dms“ with kenan? 👀 i feel like that would be fun 😭
INSTAGRAM DM’s - KENAN YILDIZ
Kenan reacting to your DM’s
Kenan Yildiz x fem! reader
︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿
I set my phone up on the kitchen counter, hit record, and turn to face Kenan, who is sitting next to me, looking curious yet slightly suspicious.
I have a grin plastered on my face, excited to see how this is going to play out.
“Alright, babe, I hope you’re ready for this,” I say, barely containing my laughter.
Kenan’s brows furrow, his lips twitching into a hesitant smile. “Ready for what?” he asks, leaning back in his chair, already sensing trouble.
“We’re doing the ‘Boyfriend Reacts to My Instagram DMs’ challenge!” I announce dramatically, making sure the camera catches every second of his reaction.
His eyes widen immediately, and he chuckles nervously. “Wait, what? Your DMs?” he repeats, like he didn’t quite hear me the first time.
“Yes!” I reply with a giggle. “Your job is to just… react.”
Kenan’s face breaks into a mischievous grin. “Alright, alright, hit me with it. I’m not scared,” he says, though I can see his curiosity mixing with a hint of nervousness.
I scrolled through my phone, picking the first message that had caught my eye. Clearing my throat, I read, “Here’s one: ‘I’d swim across the ocean just to meet you.’”
Kenan snorted, unable to hold back his amusement. “Yeah, well, I hope he knows how to swim really well because that’s a long way to go for a rejection,” he quipped, shaking his head with a grin.
I burst out laughing, and he can’t help but grin. “Okay, okay,” I say, trying to compose myself. “Here’s another: ‘I’d love to see what’s under that pretty dress of yours…’”
Kenan’s face turns from amused to downright indignant. “Wow, okay. This guy… Just no. That’s a solid 0 out of 10, report and block. Like, does he think he’s smooth? Nah, dude, keep dreaming.”
I can’t help but laugh harder. “Alright, alright, calm down. Next one: ‘If I were your boyfriend, I’d never let you out of my sight.’”
Kenan’s eyebrows shoot up. “Oh, that’s real healthy. Stalker vibes, much? And newsflash, buddy, she already has a boyfriend who’s got a perfect balance between protective and giving space. Unlike you.”
I’m laughing so hard I almost can’t speak. “Alright, this one’s kind of spicy… ‘You should be with a man who knows what to do with you.’”
Kenan’s jaw clenches a little, and he huffs out a breath. “Oh, please. First of all, I’m that man. Second, what’s he gonna do? Take you to McDonald’s and tell you you’re special? Amateur hour.”
I laugh, nudging him. “You’re getting so riled up!”
Kenan smirks but there’s a protective edge in his eyes. “I’m not riled up. I’m just stating facts.”
I continue with the next DM. “‘I don’t usually do this, but I’d make an exception for you.’”
Kenan rolls his eyes dramatically. “Wow, you’re so special that he’s willing to break his ‘mysterious rules.’ How romantic,” he mocks. “Dude, get in line with the other guys who think they’re original.”
I shake my head, biting back more laughter. “Okay, here’s a bold one: ‘If you ever get tired of that guy you’re with, I’d love to show you a real good time.’”
Kenan’s face darkens with jealousy. “A real good time?” he echoes. “Listen, man, her idea of a good time is binge-watching series in her PJs, with snacks and cuddles. And trust me, I’m the best at that.”
I giggle, loving his serious expression. “Alright, last one. And this one… oh boy. ‘‘I’d give up my whole life just for one date with you.’”
Kenan’s eyebrows shot up, and he leaned forward, his expression full of mock concern. “Oh, buddy,” he said, pretending to look sad. “That’s… that’s just sad. I mean, at least aim for two dates. Show some confidence!”
I giggle a little at that, smiling softly. “Okay, you survived… barely.”
Kenan grins, still a little worked up but leaning back in his chair. “Oh, I did more than survive. I won. And these guys… they don’t even come close. Not even in the same universe.”
I lean closer, feeling the warmth in his voice, and he mirrors my movement, his lips brushing mine in a soft, sweet kiss that seems to erase all the silly DMs from memory.
As we pull back, Kenan gives a playful smirk. “You know, I think next time we should go through my DMs… just to be fair.”
I laugh, shaking my head. “No way, I’m not ready for that kind of drama.”
He chuckles, wrapping an arm around my waist. “Good. Because I have nothing to hide. And besides,” he leans in closer, whispering just for me, “you’re the only girl that matters.”

@hitomisuzuya and I spend all night coming up with the most vile feral head canons for Xiao, Scaramouche, and Venti! I'll like to add to it and post it for everyone! I'll be making a fic later for it too 🤭
⚠Warnings⚠:Feral activity, predator and prey dynamic, heat/ruts, biting, marking, animalistic characteristics, breeding kink, pregnancy mentions, dub-con/non-con, absolutely filthy
𓁹Adeptus Xiao𓁹
The poor Adeptus already had trouble dealing with his feelings, now imagine that but triple the damage.
Zhongli had fed Xiao a type of herb that made him revert into a more animalistic state of mind, he wanted to test a few things out
Of course in this state of mind Xiao is too dangerous not to have in a collar and chain, Zhonglis gloves hand kept a firm grip on the end of it to prevent Xiaos escape, the Adeptus often pulled, growled and scratched at it
Curious on if Xiao could have offspring since he never seen the male try, he would innocently send word for Y/N to come visit him, that he had so em thing important to talk of.
While talking over tea he had Xiao in the other room hidden, he had slipped Aphrodisiacs into your tea, strong ones so I wouldn't take long before your slumped in your seat, face heating up and slightly panting.
"Are you alright Y/N? You look a little.. Sick? " he asked innocently as he sipped his own tea to hide his smile of amusement, once you could no longer give coherent answers he chuckled and place his tea cup down
"Perfect, absolutely perfect. I'm sure your supple body will do just fine with Xiao" pulling you into his lap as his gloved hands trace your now over heating body, panting and whining at his touches
"Yes, you'll do nicely, and if I'm not mistaken you're quite fertile too, I've been hoping to find such a sweet mate for him" his eyes glowing slightly as his fangs graze your neck "I could almost mark you myself but, that would ruin my whole experiment. Come, you must see Xiao"
Bringing you to Xiao and placing you just outside his reach, he thought of tying you down but in this state you had no energy to fight the hormonal Adeptus so be a good girl and offer yourself to him, makes it easier and less painful to have a willing mate" he says as you could only whine, the whine plus your scent was driving the Adeptus mad, growling, biting and clawing at his collar even more, almost breaking lose.
Once Zhongli was situated at his chair with the chain in hand he undid the hook from his collar, unleashing the Adeptus onto poor Y/N
The Adeptus pinned the other down under him onto her stomach, his claws ripping her clothing, exposing her hot flesh causing you to sigh in slight relief
His mouth attacking your neck leaving love bites and mate marking as his claws dragged themselves down her body lightly leaving light marks.
Any time you wiggled rather it was to try getting away or just out on pleasure he would only growl lowly and force you back in place
His throbbing cock slammed into your dripping hole, he let out a loud groan as your moans was drowned out by his animalistic sounds.
Let's just say he wasn't going to let go of you until you become pregnant with his offspring
And once you do he wasn't going to let anyone near you, if Zhongli even attempted to check on you he would his a deep bite on his hand, Zhongli should've expected it, brushing off what normally would be a hand breaking wound for a mortal.
During your pregnancy he would pace around the shared room, the over territorial Adeptus made sure no one came onto his territory or near his mate.
Any whines you made from being sore or over all pregnancy pains he would be immediately by your side, licking his marks and kissing over them in an apologetic manner.
He often 'hunted' food, unfortunately Zhongli still couldn't let Xiao out of this home, he would be too dangerous to the public so he would often leave out food so I gave Xiao the feeling of hunting at least.
He would share his food always, no matter how much you already ate he would always split his remaining food with you
He would often run his fingers through your hair to calm and groom you.
Xiao is over all a very attentive mate, rough at first but will sacrifice for you.
⚡︎Scaramouche⚡︎
Scaramouche was at the mercy of Dottore, after being injected with a strong syrum and let him lose in his testing room, slowly watching the short raging puppet turn into a silent, shaky one.
He needed to test more so he called for Scaras assistant who was confused on where her Harbinger had went to.
"Here you look tired, I'm sure we will find him soon, just drink up and I'll get to it" he said so calmly, you should've known better then to drink anything from the Doctor.
After drinking what you thought was some water your face started to get hotter, your body reacting to the well hidden aphrodisiac
Once your eyes glazed over in lust he manages to guide you into the room before observing in the other room, looking through a two way mirror.
Scaramouche almost ran for you but clenched his fists annoyed, he's straining to hold himself back but once you're up against him, begging for his attention he wouldn't be able to hold himself
Forcing you down as he still manages to degrade you "You're such a slut, it's no wonder you're picked for this. Have you always thought of me with that filthy fucking mind of yours? "
He wouldn't take long before getting his cock shoved into your hole earning an excited squeal
(Head canon for a friend! 🤭) He would pull at your blonde hair harshly as his thrusts showed no mercy. "At least your hair is useful for more then just a damn warning on your IQ" he hissed as his hips rocks harsher
His hands soon gripping your hips as his hips falter, his cock twitching, cursing as he was getting closer.
Your release couldn't have come at a better time because Archons know if he would've allowed you to cum after him, a thick ring of white on the base of his cock only served to drive him over the edge, filling you full.
His electric purple eyes would shoot daggers at the Doctor if he dared to try prying you two apart, his more primal instincts would assume he would take his mate away.
Your neck and body littered with hickeys but most importantly his electro mark.
Once you started to show on pregnancy his hands never left your belly, cuddling from behind as they felt your belly swell.
Anytime the doctor came to check on you two or provide food he was always on the defensive, guarding you like an angry cat, hissing and even biting at him if he got too close.
He was a more lazy mate compared to Xiao, instead of making rounds to protect his territory he often just laid with you.
𖤍Venti𖤍
Albedo asked the bard if he could sample a special potion for him, and without asking or thinking of course Venti downs it because nothing can hurt him, he's an Archon so why even bother being careful
Well he didn't expect this effect
After being observed and noted on for almost an hour, his arousal grew, causing the bard to be whiny and annoying to the Alchemist, however he had research to do and couldn't just dismiss him, so Venti dismissed himself!
When the Alchemist looked away for a moment he would notice the bard had disappeared like the wind, he would look for him but of course he wouldn't be able to find him.
Venti is already on his way to find a special someone, this aphrodisiac brought the more feral side of him, he wanted nothing more then to just breed you right then and there when he noticed your soft smile as you spoke to Captain Keaya.
His jealousy grew, if the green eyed monster was a person it was Venti.
Of course he was stride over and wrap his arms around you, whining some as his eyes shared a glare to the captain that was far from his normal behavior
Luckily for Kaeya since he knew ventis identity he wasn't about to just play with his life here, sayo g his goodbyes before leaving the two of you alone
"What was that? I hope I didn't say anything" oh so innocent, not one bit aware of your overly jealous and arousal Archon lover giving the captain the scare of a life time
Oh how he will ruin you tonight
And like he thought out in his mind the whole time he's dragging you home, he would see your beautiful eyes looking up at him with tears as his cock slams back into you, he's already came twice as well as you but his Archon stamina never faltered.
Whining and groaning "oh my muse you feel so good, so tight~"
He praised his mate as he continues to pound into them through the night, only ever stopping once the sun started to peek over the mountains.
When you gotten pregnant it was definitely a shock for him, he really didn't think your soft mortal body could bare a child of an Archon, but he wasn't complaining.
Constantly rubbing your swollen belly, giving your neck kisses and huming tunes to you.
He would always sing you to sleep when you had trouble, always finding the freshest apples and cutting them for you, and whenever it got too hot his winds would cool you down easily
Unlike the other two he didn't have to worry about someone interfering with his mate
However if Zhongli did try to visit on this rare occasion he would definitely keep a wing over you, only ever using his Archon form to try an intimidate the other Archon who honestly could care less on that.
Venti is a mix of the other two, he's very attentive but also very lazy as well.
That's what I have for this part! I can make other parts upon requested! 😌

Through The Keyhole, See Another Life
Inspired by the giant flannel I've been wearing for the last week and how happy it makes me. This popped into my head at work because of it so.... here you go!
Fandom: Linked Universe
Characters: Time, Legend Four
Words: 1,954
Rating: Gen
Summary: The Chain are visiting the ranch, and while most of the other boys are finishing their chores, Time stumbles across Four introducing Legend to one of his guilty pleasures.
"Four, no."
Time glances up at the very firm voice echoing down the stairs. He’s not sure if the boys even know he’s come back to the main house yet, not with the guest room being on the backside of the house and unable to see the door and all. Usually, someone would have noticed the sound of the door opening, but all the other boys are outside with Malon, helping with the chores while their smithy and veteran rested inside.
The battle in his world had been a hard one, and as much as fairies and potions can do, they seemingly can’t prevent Legend’s chronic pain or Four’s migraines, both of which had been worsening for days even before arriving at the ranch. Malon, naturally, had insisted that both boys be allowed to sleep in today, and given they’d still been curled up tight in bed, tense and stressed even while asleep, he’d been inclined to agree.
It appears they’re awake now though, no doubt having found the breakfast laid just inside the door of their room for them, since no one had known if either would be willing to risk the stairs to find something while the rest of them were outside working. Still, he’d probably better check. He's been a bit worried about the two, and now that Malon has ordered him inside (he honestly wasn’t kicked that hard! The cows are just big!) he has plenty of time on his hands while the rest of his boys finish their assigned chores under his wife’s guidance.
“Why on earth not?” The smithy’s voice is a bit higher as it trails down the stairs to where he’s shucking off his boots and stretching out his back, feeling every one of his years, even the ones that technically didn’t happen.
Legend’s sigh is audible even through the floorboards, a soft groan probably accompanying a motion. “Because I don’t want to get in trouble?”
There’s a part of time that wants to snort at the words; the two heroes sound like children arguing about pulling a prank on their parents, but then the fact that he and Malon would be said parents in that situation hits him and it’s not as funny. Additionally, these are teen heroes, the idea that Legend is wary about it means whatever Four wants to do is either very dumb, very silly, or very dangerous, and he’s not sure which is the worse scenario.
He moves for the stairs, ears tuned closely to the door above, but feet quiet so they won’t hear him coming.
“I do this all the time, it’s nice! Come on, you’d love it if you let yourself.”
Okay then, less a worry, he pauses, listening. They’d probably resent that, but he’s curious now, and still a bit wary. He has to remind himself that Legend and Four are, in fact, two of the more level headed heroes- most of the time. At any rate, they’re usually pretty responsible, so even if he’s more used to Wild and Wind and (Hylia help him) Warriors, he really shouldn’t doubt them so much.
“Yes,” the bed upstairs creaks, “but you’re you. I’m me. There’s a big difference in how they’d react to you doing this- heck, Twilight would probably think it’s cute from you, and Sky definitely would-” definitely not dangerous then, or risky, or likely to cause damage of any sort “-but it’d be a whole different story with me.”
“You’re just scared to try.” Four taunts, headache clearly gone.
The bed creaks, like someone’s flopped on it. “Four, I am in too much pain to sit through Twilight chewing me out for being an ‘asshole’ again.” There’s a tick in the vet’s voice, a small hitch on the offending title. Come to think of it, his pup does tend to call the vet that pretty frequently.
Four doesn’t pause though, continuing his insistence on...whatever he’s insisting. “Then don’t touch Twilight’s things, he can’t be mad on someone else’s behalf.”
“He is.” Legend clips back. “frequently.”
Does his pup really chew the vet out that much?
“Blame me,” the smithy suggests, off-handed.”
The bed creaks again, a longer one, most likely as it’s resident shifts to face the smithy. He can imagine the deadpan tired stare and heavy sigh that likely touches their young vet’s face. “That’s the definition of an asshole move.”
“Then let me say it was my fault.”
“Again, you’re different. They‘d excuse it from you, but as a person with my own free will, they will blame me for-”
“Oh stop being a stick-in-the-mud!” Four huffs, petulant almost. He must be in one of his more childish moods, no doubt Red’s fault. It happens from time to time when they’re in a safe place and the smithy isn’t constantly around the other heroes. He didn’t think Legend would be allowed to see it, but maybe he’s wrong about that, because the smithy’s voice definitely has picked up the mannerisms of his more emotional aspect. “Just take this and put it on!”
Are they....is Four trying to get Legend to play dress up of some kind?
“Is that Time’s?” It’s hesitant, guarded, wary.
“He won’t mind, or notice either, I expect. He never does.”
Is Four getting into his things without his knowing? Since when? Time’s feet start back up the stairs again, only to pause once more at the vet’s hesitant voice.
“You sure he won’t crucify me or something?”
Malon’s going to kill him. That’s the impression he’s giving these younger heroes?
“Just do it,” Four huffs, “stop being a baby.”
And of course, insulting Legend is no way to get him to make the smart decision, whatever it is they're on about. He sets up the stairs again, creeping to the door of the guest room once he's reached the second floor and peeking around the door frame. The door’s still shut, but it’s little trouble to turn the handle ever so slowly and push it open enough to see what’s going on inside.
He’s not expecting what he sees.
Four is standing in the middle of the room, Sky’s embroidered undershirt hanging off of him like a rather short dress as he stares at the vet who’s still sitting on the bed where Time had left both of them early this morning. The vet, in turn, has similarly shed his own sweaty clothes, which he can see tossed over a nearby chair, and the pink-haired teen is currently drowning in what he recognizes to be one of his own tunics. The collar isn’t laced yet, but the vet is currently yanking at it to stop it trying to slip off a shoulder, struggling though because the sleeves of the outfit seem to have utterly swallowed his hands.
Four giggles. Red is definitely fronting, although the smile he sees on the smith’s face is more like Green’s. “Let me help.”
“It’s just the sleeves,” the other boy huffs, “I got it.” He doesn’t.
Time finds himself stifling a chuckle as he watches the vet fumble and fuss, switching between trying to free his hands and trying to tighten the collar. Any worries that the two were up to anything nefarious have long since vanished, although his will to see what they’re doing hasn’t.
They look like actual kids like this, Four decked out in stollen finery and Legend drowning in Time’s own clothes, much too big for him, to the point that with the next attempt to free his hands, long sleeves flap freely and loose in an effort of some sort (he can only presume) to make them fall down naturally. That effort though is quickly forgotten, the vet’s face loosening, softening somewhat, eyes wide as he pauses and then tentatively flaps the sleeves again. Four giggles, and Legend’s chuffing laughter follows it as he grins as his trapped hands and the excess fabric that shakes and snaps with his quick movements.
“Welcome,” the smithy sounds, “to the wonders of over-sized clothes. You’re welcome.”
“I hate you,” Legend sighs, but there's not a bit of actual malice in the words as he flops back against the pillows on the bed, seemingly having given up on trying to fit into Time’s clothes and instead accepting his fate. The boy’s face screws up a moment later in confusion though, and he lifts a hand to his face again with a frown, sniffing slightly at the shirt sleeve.
Time desperately, desperately hopes that Four didn’t steal that from his travel bag or dirty laundry. Except, he must not have, because Legend’s face softens again, this time into a smile, and he curls up a bit, burying his face in the fabric with a little hum that is strangely out of place for the harsh veteran they all have come to know. More so though, is the way Legend rubs his face across the fabric, ears flapping. It’s strangely adorable.
“Nice?” Four is definitely gloating.
Legend’s face rises for a moment out of the sleeves, a whole different person than Time knows, bitter-sweet smile and flushed cheeks. “’t smells like home.”
Something in his chest clenches violently.
There’s no such reaction from the smith though, who just looks pleasantly surprised, but nods it off with a smile, moving a bit closer and settling on the bedside, careful not to stir it and earning a brief look of thanks from the vet who is, now that he looks, still a bit pale and carrying tension around his shoulders and eyes. “Really?”
“Yeah” violet eyes fall down to stare at long sleeves, hand flapping slightly inside again, but not enough to do more than make the fabric shift and shuffle a bit. “Time must use the same aftershave as-” a pause, a twitch of the face into a frown. “It’s a familiar scent.”
It’s also a new one. Malon had got it for him for their wedding anniversary last year. He forgets what she called it, but she loves it, so he does too. On the road, it hardly matters what he smells like, but it makes him think of her and, like the captain says, it’s good to do small things for yourself even when traveling and fighting and struggling. Life’s not much worth living if it’s all harsh and you deny yourself even the small joys accessible to you. For him, that joy is remembering how his wife beams and showers him with kisses once he’s fresh faced again, but in the room before him, it can also mean stealing your team-mates' too big clothes and curling up in them when you aren’t feeling your best.
The smile that pulls across his face as Legend rolls over to face Four better, curled up tightly in himself as the smithy laughs about something, both looking peaceful, is also one of those things.
For a moment, a precious, fleeting moment, he can almost forget the two boys in the bedroom across from his own are heroes who have to save the world. Instead, he can almost imagine them waking up there and joining farm chores every day. No pain brought on by whatever these two have faced would exist in such a world and instead they’d be free to run wild around the barnyard, racing to finish chores or pulling pranks and making mischief like boys their age should be doing.
It’s a nice picture, and not even properly bitter-sweet, even though he knows it can’t be, because they're still there in front of him, peaceful and content and chattering quietly, one of his boys curled up in his shirt and the other in Sky’s, both discussing scents and colognes and what smells signal home.

So, we never got the proper slowburn transition we deserve of Bela going from heartless to her heart beating for the MC. So here's some headcannons and plot bunnies for how things would go after Bela finally got her heart back. Heck, how about we make it even more complicated and let Bela have her memories from previous time loops as well?
Okay, so here we go!!
(Also, quick note. MC is super dense here and can't get a hint)
You really didn't expect that just marching up to Headmistress Miranda and demanding Bela have her heart back would work. But it actually did. And it turns out, Bela did have her heart all along. It was just buried away under layers of whatever hoodoo magic Miranda used. You saw the change happen the minute those layers were taken away.
Bela even without her heart was a person who cared too much. That woman was willing to protect you from crazy cult leader Miranda even at the risk of her own life. Bela's care also showed in the love she has for her family. Let's just say Daniela is out of so much trouble only because Bela intervened all the times from background.
And now, Bela has her heart back. So, are there any noticeable changes? Oh, there are plenty! Although not as drastic as you thought. For starters, Bela still had her crazy work ethic to the T. She just doesn't force you to adopt it now. You are too sick to come to the council room? Bela will come to your dorm room with her soup and take care of you. But she'll also work besides your bedside while you sleep.
Another welcome change is Bela's trust issues piping down a bit. Older Bela refused to drink your coffee. Now, she'll actually pout if you forget to bring her coffee. And yes, you heard it right. Bela actually pouts these days. Especially at you, for some reason.
There is one thing though where Bela has gotten even more uptight ironically. And that's her interactions with her Playgirl sister Cassandra. Whenever Cassandra opens her mouth to ask you out on a date, Bela would make sure to threaten Cassandra with blocking funds for the theatre club. You're glad that Bela is being such a protective friend, but you do think blocking theatre funds is a bit overboard.
You also notice that Bela now shows animosity towards people she was completely fine with before. Exhibit A: Donna Beneviento, Angie's aunt had approached you with a job offer as her assistant at her flower shop. Before you could even reply, Bela popped up behind you, gripping your shoulders in a tight grip as she seethingly replied "No, my Vice President is too occupied in Student Council work with me." Hmm, strange. The interaction was almost like Donna has taken something away from Bela in some past life.
You also wish Bela would kind of stop paying for everything you buy. You get it, Bela feels indebted to you, but c'mon, buying you a rose gold necklace that has Dimiterescu family crest for your birthday is totally overboard! And can someone please ask Daniela and Angie to stop teasing you about how you got a sugar mommy for yourself?
Bela also is less uppity about being touched now. At least when it comes from you. You both have actually started to hug each other before going to your respective dorms. Bela now even initiates a lot of touches on her own! Like one time you fell asleep while working in Library with her, and you woke up with feeling Bela's long fingers lazily carding through your hair.
Lastly, you are also happy that you are getting to spend more time with Bela outside of student council work.

Another reference sheet done. This one took way longer than expected lmao,,
Reblogs are appreciated! :3
===============================================
Biography (long read):
-General Info-
Full Name: Him Age: Ageless (Formed in 1975.) Height: 8'0'' ft Gender: Male Sex: Sexless Species: Wrath simulacrum (Inceptor) Homeplace: Huntstrail, Michigan (US) Romantic/Sexual Orientation: Biromantic Asexual
-Other Info-
Personality?: Him is looked down upon by its own species, and had earned himself the status of an outcast during its earlier years. This is why he typically tries avoiding other simulacrums. However, due to its past connection with an underground brawl ring, sometimes it gets entangled into fights. Whether they're started by others, or by it desperately seeking relief from its own mind, trouble follows it either way. His hostile attitude doesn't make it better. One would expect it to display this kind of violence upon humanity, instead of fellow demons. But Him's uncaring on the matter, reasoning that it's acting in self-defense and showing some justice for all the human lives its kind take away. It evidently feels far more sympathy for humans, aware of how fragile and complex they are. He has a fascination in their way of living and thinking. Even gained a lot of knowledge about their history and other topics in his own free time. With its closest relationship being with a human, the odd fondness is no surprise. Although having poor management of negative emotions, it represses them for the few he cares for. It can't bear to unload its burden onto anyone. Him tends to be just cold in general, but when comfortable he's willing to show his much nicer and curious side. It knows how to be gentle. When it feels an attachment to someone, he'll display genuine gestures of care and will be willing to spend time with them if asked.
Thinks Before Acting?: In a neutral state, sure. Unfortunately, that might fly right out the window once it's starting to become agitated. Pure blinding rage can easily take a hold of it. Making it impulsively lash out or spew out some truly heinous words, that it may or may not regret later.
Positive Traits?: Selfless, inquisitive, caring, persistent, attentive and loyal.
Negative Traits?: Impatient, self-loathing, aggressive, over-protective, stubborn and vindictive.
Way Of Speaking?: Only speaks fluent English and has no noticeable accent in its speech. His voice is low and gravelly, and usually stays at a calm tone. Which makes him more intimidating when talking, without ever having to raise its volume. But when he does, it steadily sounds more demonic. With inhumane growling interrupting its words while trying to talk. (Headcanon voice: https://youtu.be/cFHCt0eE3P0?t=5460)
Occupation?: Doesn't have a profession to uphold. He'd rather steal cash and goods if absolutely needed. Neither does it have any simulacrum tasks, duties, or anything else alike. Since he's trying to maintain self-isolation from his community. Though unless, you consider being the surrogate father and only caretaker of a young adult, a job by itself. Then yes, it still has his hands full with parental responsibilities.
Powers/Skills?: His species have unique powers and abilities. Though, what kind varies. It doesn't just depend on what stage they're at, but which sin they have too. Simulacrums are also far more biologically advanced than humans. So besides excluding most biological traits in this section. Here are all the noteworthy powers to mention. Within biological traits; aura detection and night-vision. Can tell what species someone is by naturally feeling their aura, the other one lets him see crystal clear in the dark. Within evolutionary abilities; body alteration, it can twist and contort his body in whichever way wanted. That's truly useful when under high negative emotions, as he'll morph into something that gives him a more uncanny and beastly-like look. Surface adhesion, free to walk or sit on walls and ceilings without the risk of falling. Personal matter manipulation, power to manipulate the entirety of its own being into a different state of matter. Either black smoke, or black liquid. It's a perfect way to flee and to get in through somewhere without notice. While in use, he's still fully sentient and is even able to talk. But the voice will be much quieter, less comprehensive. When materialized, he can also alter his overall shape and volume. Within sin-based abilities; primal strength. Simulacrums are already much stronger than humans. Now just times that typical strength for a wrathian by at least 10 and maybe more. Him always uses his teeth in combat the most. As he possesses two sets of uneven sharp teeth, one appearing up front, the other at the back of the first set. The only kind of drawback is that in some instances, it may go overboard and reach an animalistic state of mind. Kinda like a severe rush or high. But for someone who's experienced, like it, he manages to use this as a deadly advantage. Heightened senses, perception of external stimuli is very strong. His sight, smell and hearing are way more sensitive. But one sense that's particularly strong for him, is smell. If there's any kind of scent to fixate, he can track it down. At times, he's capable of visualizing a clear line of smell.
Hobbies?: Most beloved pastime of his is reading books, there's nearly nothing topping that. Soon in its first week of living, it quickly grew a passionate fascination for human literature. Since then it's been near impossible to see it without a book in its hands. Favorite genres are history and biology, texts that explore factual knowledge are its typical go-to. Given the chance, it'll go on a lengthy monologue about a random topic it happened to read recently. Happens to like board games too, which is mostly influenced by his son, Alfred. Though, it prefers simple card games as they cause less frustration. One hobby that might be a bit unexpected. Would be teaching his pet cat tricks. Some context. An unusual fixation it developed, was for felines. Whether it's big wild ones or tiny domesticated ones, he loves them all. Due to certain circumstances, it couldn't get its hands on a cat for a long time. When finally given one, it didn't take long to get attached. He soon started basic behavior training but later moved on with teaching tricks. And it continues to do so. He also likes to roam around random areas of his city. While it'd rather spend time inside, like a stay-at-home dad, it won't shy away from exploring. But he's very careful to not get caught by anyone. It'll hide and observe from a distance, usually people-watching. Arguably only one pastime surpasses reading, and that's spending time with his son. While he does ask at times, it prefers letting Alfred offer his time when he can. So far, it has rarely refused anything he's offered. Even if it felt like it needed to.
Habits?: Frequently smokes, nearly every day. Sounds bad at first but since he's a demon, there are no consequences. He likes the "feel" of it, and unironically loves the bad smell. When experiencing really bad stress, anxiety or annoyance, it roughly bites at its own skin. More precisely, usually his hands or arms. It clings onto the skin, letting his teeth sink in deep. There's been moments where it almost bit off a finger. However, the worst tendency it has is the way he handles negative emotions. It often chooses to bottle everything up, and deal with his problems alone. It'll lie or change the subject when anyone brings up its issues. In return, this creates a sort of vicious cycle where it bottles up its feelings, refuses to handle them in a healthy manner, violent conflicts ensue against random simulacrums to calm itself, and then later acts as if nothing's happened, pretending to be moving on.
Relationships? (Simplified): Its closest relationship is with a human, Alfred Thorn. It has known them for nearly their whole life, first interaction happened when he was 1 years old. Though, the original purpose of it even being around the little Thorn family was much sinister. It was there to replace his human target, Alfred's actual biological father. Replace them in a rather dark, literal sense. But due to it stalling its own progress, the target in question had abandoned the family when Alfred was 3. And before he could even notice the demon secretly living in their house. It had two choices; hunt the target down, or stay where he was for the young boy. A simulacrum wouldn't even entertain the second option, but Him grew attached to the child. Feeling a strange protective instinct just towards him, despite the confusion at his own unnatural feelings. From that point on, it decided to take the role of a father figure. Learning how to take care of a human child. During the early years, it was very conflicted with its own actions. Questioning if what it did was right, or moral. He eventually came to terms and stuck by with its decision. Interacting with a human has pretty much influenced the way it thinks. Nowhere near a perfect parent, but clearly loves Alfred and is overprotective of them. He has given it a sense of purpose for its existence, it greatly values that. Even the name "Him" he gave it, was kept. One thing it struggles the most with him, is opening up emotionally. Mostly because of his own personal struggles. Naturally, his tendency to bottle things up had rubbed off onto his own son. Yet despite it, they've formed a strong familial bond and friendship. Both are secretive of this relationship, for rather obvious reasons. They now live together as outcasts. Trying to make the best out of their lives while living in a small crummy apartment.
There's another human he's familiar with, Simon Belrose. Them and Alfred are very close friends, at some point he should have met Him. Even if it was never planned to happen. Their first encounter was rather terrible due to unfortunate circumstances. In which Simon didn't exactly see Him in its friendliest state, even though the aggression wasn't directed towards him. To say the poor guy was shocked to find out that his closest friend had been raised by some kind of demon, would be a huge understatement. It took a while for either of them to talk with one another. Him allowed Simon to approach it at his own pace, and remained avoidant whenever they happened to be in the same room. The last thing it wanted was to scare them more than he already did. Once they actually managed to strike up a conversation, things steadily got easier as Simon felt comfortable being around it. Both were able to strike up a basis for friendship with their common admiration for literature. Simon slowly introduced it to the fantasy genre, then moved over to Broadway musicals and everything else related to theater. As time flies, getting to know each other better, doing activities together. Simon sees Him as a supportive uncle figure. And it; views and treats them like he was just another kid of his.
Moving onto otherworldly beings. Xanthan, a theraangel, is someone Him was unaware of up until Alfred introduced them. It had absolutely no idea his son had been talking to this stranger in secret. Thing of note; as a simulacrum, it had believed that angels were long extinct because of the Overlord's indoctrination. Their first meeting also went terribly to put it simply. It had started awkwardly, then nearly ended in a physical fight if not for Alfred standing in between the two entities. Once they could manage a somewhat level-headed talk, Him was skeptical at the suggested idea of redemption. The angel insisted since its fatherly-like relationship with a human made it a fit candidate. Its hostile attitude was held back from getting worse by Alfred's insistence to trust the stranger. Through some arguing, it agreed to try the whole redemption thing. But only in exchange for Xanthan's proposed guardianship over Alfred, becoming his guardian angel. After that, they remain barely tolerant of one another. At a much later point, they feel more respect for each other. Him begins to admire Xanthan's way of fighting, and gradually grows interested in his past as a former envy simulacrum. Thanks to that, a friendship finally forms. As they both continue to bond, and feel genuine care for the other. The unexpected closeness they develop, makes its feelings complicated to its confusion. And at a further date, when Xanthan confesses his romantic love for it, just makes him even more confused. It doesn't give a proper answer to his confession, instead asks for some time to think it over. With Alfred's help and encouragement, Him reciprocates Xanthan's feelings. Kickstarting its first romantic bond.
Mentioning enemies. It doesn't have any troubles with humans, at least it seems like so currently. In the past, it had some violent thoughts about Alfred's biological mother. Whom was a relapsing alcoholic, and targeted her abuse only onto Alfred. But since moving away from the house, and into an apartment with his son. Neither have given her as much thought anymore, at least they try not to. Other simulacrums typically fall onto this term, mostly the ones Him has had fights with. Only the ones who survived the first time anyway. There's no particular rivalry with anyone. Yet one figure will cause trouble in the future, a simulacrum who perfectly contrasts Him in every way. A sort of walking reflection of everything it could have been if not for its empathy towards humanity. Another fairly important simulacrum to mention would be a fellow wrath simulacrum (specula). It's someone Him had working relations with, tying back to its past with an underground brawl ring. They had a little friendship going on, until certain events escalated and had to cut ties. Him is entirely silent about them, not even his son knows of them. They've only ever seen each other by accident, maintaining a frenemies vibe when briefly talking. Lastly, Lucifer. The Overlord, its creator. Him's disobedience wasn't looked over. The way it delayed taking out its target was one thing. But what really got it under their radar were the rumors spreading around that it had begun to care of a human child. Lucifer confronted Him merely once. Making it crystal clear that its actions were immoral, and if it caused any major fight back against their plans, they'd take care of it immediately. Since then, neither have come face-to-face again. What they said, ingrained into Him's psyche. While it's no longer loyal to them, no less it still fears what the Overlord’s truly capable of.

Suppressing Fire - Part 4
Content: Vampire whumper, defiant whumpee, mind control, death threats, loneliness, angst
This one is twice as long as the others lol
First/Previous/Next
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For the first two years, things remain generally the same. The hostility and abuse intertwined with the mundane of everyday life. For Kane, it's all leading up to something. Something big. And as it approaches, closer and closer, he begins to worry he's not ready. His human isn't ready. She's calmed down a bit compared to when he first got her, but she's still defiant. He still disciplines her with frequency. This is bad.
After hemming and hawing over what to do, he enters the human quarters. Before even feeding, he brings attention to the matter at hand.
"I'm laying my cards on the table. I need something from you."
-----
Keegan has gotten far too comfortable with her imprisonment over the past two years. She knows she has, but there's not much she can do about it. There's a few small opportunities over time where she thinks she might be able to escape, but then she remembers how miserable those two months of recovery with her ribs were, and she lets it go. Too risky. She needs something big.
So she copes. She fights back when she's feeling brave, then nurses the bruises she's given for the trouble. She takes out her anger on the poor abused punching bag and tries not to think about the outside world. Stay in the present. Survive each day and keep your head clear. It'll be worth it.
Still, she can't help but perk up when Kane makes a change to their usual schedule. He needs something and he's not just demanding it? She's curious now.
"Yeah?" She asks.
“There’s this… family reunion next week. Well, not just my family. It’s for all of the important families. Mine’s the most important, of course.” His face lights up with condescending pride for a moment before falling back into nerves. “We’re going, and I need you to behave. What's it going to take?"
That's a lot to take in. A family reunion for a bunch of rich vampires?
On one hand, Keegan is almost excited at the thought, even though she'd only be going as an accessory. She's always wanted to go to a fancy party. On the other hand, she hasn't been out of the house since the doctor visit, and just that short time was terrifying.
"What... exactly would I be doing at this event?"
"Oh, not much. Everyone brings their humans as a sign of status. So this- this is the first time I'll be going." Kane wrings his hands anxiously. "All the others will be under persuasion, obviously. All you'll need to do is follow me around, largely silently, and follow orders if given. It will be very easy."
Honestly, it doesn't sound too bad to Keegan. It'd be the first time a vampire hunter has ever observed vampire high society and (hopefully) lived to tell about it. But, it's clear Kane is anxious as hell about this, and willing to offer her something in return. She's not about to miss this chance. She bites her lip, thinking.
What does she want? She'd really like her stove back, microwave meals got old a long time ago, and she misses cooking. Or maybe some time outside? She's been breathing stale air for years. But no, there's something else. Something she needs, and this might be her only chance.
She straightens up, crosses her arms, and looks Kane dead in the eye. "Let me call my sister, and you've got a deal."
"Deal," Kane agrees instantly. "You may make one phone call, supervised, if you behave. That means you will act like a proper human in public. You will not stray. You will obey my orders. You will not speak unless spoken to. You will address me as Master or sir. You will show no signs of defiance or misbehavior. Are we clear?"
Keegan's heart leaps. He's actually agreeing to it? She grimaces at all the ways she has to submit to him, but it's basically meaningless in exchange for that phone call.
"Yes!" She says immediately. Maybe too excitedly, she doesn't want him getting used to this easy compliance, but she can't help it.
"Good." Kane tries to reign in his own excitement, maintain his dignity. His human behaving herself should be the standard, not something to get out of sorts about.
He has to be serious.
“Just know,” he adds, “that if you defy me publicly, I’ll kill you on the spot. I’ll have to, of course, for my reputation.”
"Of course."
The threat gives Keegan pause, not because she plans on being defiant, but because she's not very good at it. She tends to fuck up even when she doesn't mean to.
‘Just focus on the prize, Keegan.’
"Perfect." This might actually work. Kane might actually be presentable. "Now, your neck. I'm hungry."
---
The week passes in a blur. Kane has the human pick out a nice, classy dress from a catalog- he's never had an eye for women's fashion, and he supposes that at least one advantage of having a human with a mind of her own is she can make that decision for him.
On the night of the reunion, he's an utter nervous wreck. He chooses to drive, not wanting to mess his clothes up running and considering it more comfortable for both himself and the human.
"This has to go perfectly," he mutters, half to himself, half to the human in the passenger seat. "No funny business."
"I got it." Keegan insists for what feels like the millionth time.
She's got no idea what's making Kane so nervous, he's cagey about anything relating to his family. It’s making her nervous about what's in store. But, it's a reunion. A party. Whatever has got him rattled is probably some sort of petty drama. Keegan shouldn't panic. She'll follow directions, stay out of the way, and hope for the best. And, hey, the dress is nice.
They arrive just slightly early, exactly as planned. As they enter the decadent ballroom, Kane scans for his parents, but neither seems to have arrived yet. There are lots of other vampires here, though he knows many are still to come. He recognizes several members of his family and of other noble families, but no one he's close to. Each vampire has a perfectly hypnotized human beside them, and it only makes him more self-conscious.
Worse, he gets looks and whispers. He tries to fight the blush that he knows is creeping up his face as he looks around for anyone at all who he knows well enough to chat with.
Unfortunately, just as he's contemplating going to speak with his older sister, Eloise, despite her quite low opinion of him, a far less-palatable sibling approaches him first.
“Kane! What a surprise, I wouldn’t have expected to see you here in a million years!” Anton greets with his human in tow. He grins widely from ear to ear, fangs on display.
-----
Keegan can practically smell the old money of this place. Everyone here has an aura of importance and snobbery, only worsened by their predatory, vampiric eyes. All her fellow humans are dressed up like she is, but unlike her, have all been lost to persuasion. They couldn't have chosen their outfit from a catalog like she did. They're dressed up by their masters like dolls. Trophies.
Objects.
‘Why do they even bother?’ She thinks. ‘We're all just 'food' after all.’
It's awful. Keegan can't watch for long and looks down at her feet, shuffling after her own 'master'. She's so very grateful to have her mind intact, and since they can't feel for themselves, she'll endure their suffering for them. They deserve to be remembered and mourned.
A new voice breaks Keegan out of her thoughts. Kane's older brother, apparently. Keegan's hackles raise immediately when he starts talking. This guy is no good, it's written all over his face. Another very punch-able one, in her opinion. Maybe it runs in the family. Kane though, seems just as uncomfortable as she is and she hopes he'll cut this conversation short.
-----
“Hello, Anton.” Kane says through gritted teeth. “Yes, as you can see, I have a human now. No reason for me not to be here anymore, is there?”
“Yeah, I heard! Only took you a century!” Anton laughs. “I gotta admit, you’ve done well for once in your life, baby brother.” He claps Kane on the back, laughing again.
Kane is not pleased. “Well, no one gives a shit what you think.”
“Oh, don’t be like that, it was a compliment! You’re so sensitive. I mean it! Wrangling a human when you can’t use persuasion at all, it’s very impressive stuff! In fact, the result might be even better. This one’s been hypnotized so much that she hardly reacts even when uninfluenced.” He waved a hand in front of his own human’s face to no response.
Anton turns his gaze directly onto Keegan, eyeing her discomfort hungrily. “See, just like that. I like to see the emotion in their eyes. It’s so boring otherwise.” He leans in close enough for Keegan to smell his shitty cologne. “Having a good time, little lady?”
Keegan's hand twitches at her side, just barely keeping still. He is way too close. She leans as far away as she thinks she can get away with, face full of disgust. What the fuck. If this creep is related to Kane, what is the rest of his family like?? She hopes he can see the murderous intent in her eyes, in lieu of being able to act on them. ‘I'm not afraid of you, leech.’
She might be a little afraid.
Anton loses a bit of interest at her non-response, but the idea has sparked something as he turns back to Kane. “Maybe I’ll try training my next one without persuasion. I mean, it can’t be that hard if you could do it, right?”
Kane rolls his eyes, nudging his human away from Anton. “Thank you so much for that, Anton. Goodbye.”
“Aw, stop, stop, I’m half-kidding. Seriously, great pick. She smells delicious. I’ve just got to have a little taste. You don’t mind, do you?”
Anton takes a step straight toward Keegan and reaches for her neck.
Keegan's heart spikes with fear. She does not want this man touching her. Her hand itches for a stake she hasn't touched in years. Anton is clearly the bully type, and in this case she's the toy he's trying to steal from his victim. He could break her like a twig just to get at Kane. Luckily, Kane steps in and keeps him away, grabbing his wrist and continuing the conversation like her life didn't just flash before her eyes.
“I do mind, actually. If your human’s blood is of such lower quality than mine, I’m sure you can find a suitable replacement on your own, since you’re just so capable.”
Anton rips his hand from Kane’s grasp, the smile never leaving his face. “Of course, makes perfect sense that you’re so possessive of your very first human! Oh, I remember those days. Well, good luck, I can’t wait to see what Mother and Father think.” He smirks before sauntering off.
“Can you believe that guy?” Kane grumbles with a huff.
Keegan relaxes significantly when Anton leaves. "He was... something." Keegan says quietly. Oh, she has opinions alright but doesn't dare speak them outloud, even if Kane might actually share them. She glances around the room, seeing other vampires sharing their humans. It makes her feel ill. "Sir, are... others going to feed from me tonight?" Kane didn't let his brother, but it's clear they aren't friends. No one mentioned she was going to be a party snack.
"No. No one I would say yes to would be tactless enough to ask in the first place." It's an easy answer, one he doesn't have to even consider. The idea of Mother or Father asking to feed from his human is laughable.
Keegan sighs in relief. "OK. Thanks." She's sure it's not for her sake, but still. She's glad for it.
-----
After the encounter with Anton, Kane is too intimidated to try approaching his other older siblings who he's even less close with. He eyes the entrance as people come in, sticking anxiously to the wall, when he finally sees someone he knows well. Unfortunately.
Bellamy comes waltzing in, a human at his side, arm linked with his- and like Kane's own, obviously unpersuaded. “What is he doing here?” he mutters to himself, alarmed.
The entrance garners more gossipy whispers than his own, and that's when he realizes this could be good. “Wait. Wait, this is great, actually. He could take the heat off me.”
That is, until Bellamy locks eyes with him for the first time in decades, and Kane realizes he's screwed. He tries to take off, beckoning his human to follow behind him, but Bellamy catches up easily.
“Kane, my dear, it has simply been too long!” His voice is sing-songy and light.
“Fuck off, I can’t be seen with you! Why are you even here?” Kane hisses.
The woman at Bellamy's side looks to be in her thirties, and perfectly content to be here, despite full awareness of the situation. She waves at Keegan with a warm smile.
Keegan is happy to hide at the edges of the party. Avoiding any more conversation would make the night easier to get through. But of course it doesn't last long, when a vampire and his lucid human make a beeline towards them.
The human lady waves at her. Keegan stares dumbfounded for a moment before sending a small one back. She has so many questions. God does it feel good to look into another human's eyes. She looks kind. Too kind to be in this hellhole.
Bellamy looks genuinely hurt by Kane’s words, his eyebrows knotting together briefly before he regains his composure. “Oh, politics. Some people are hard to get a hold of, and this made for a fantastic opportunity. Though I was unaware you’d number among them tonight! Shall we meet in private, darling? We absolutely must catch up.”
Kane taps his foot, agitated. “Fine, just get away from me before people start thinking we’re together.”
The man winks. “Follow me in five.”
He and the woman disappear down one of the connecting hallways.
Having no one else to gossip to, Kane turns to Keegan. “That guy? He had his entire life handed to him on a golden platter. Cast away everything by refusing to take a human when he came of age. No one who’s anyone would be caught dead associating with him anymore. He was the eldest son in the most important family next to mine and now he’s an even bigger laughing stock than me! Ugh, of course he won’t even use persuasion on the human that he now apparently has. Has to fucking flaunt it. Can’t believe he’s showing his face here.”
Keegan can't tell if he's actually expecting an answer from her. She opens and closes her mouth a few times before settling on, "She didn't seem like she needed it, sir." What's so special about this vampire that his human is perfectly content by his side? Keegan envies her.
"Well, lucky fucking him." Kane responds.
-----
After a short while has passed, Kane follows down the same path the other pair had taken minutes ago. He weaves through corridors before they arrive at the storage room he and Bellamy would always hide out in when they were boys, boxes piled high around the two waiting for them.
As soon as they enter, Bellamy moves toward Kane with arms outstretched, obviously going in for a hug. Kane holds out a hand to stop him. “Cut that shit out. Why am I here?”
“Well, it’s been so long!” Bellamy exclaims. “It’s been, what, eighty-five years? Do you have a telephone, my dear? Marvelous things, humans do simply come up with the most amazing inventions. We should exchange numbers, keep in better touch!”
“Did you somehow forget what happened the last time we spoke?” Kane eyes the woman. “Why do you have a human? Finally come to your senses?”
“Oh of course, where are my manners?” He turned to Keegan. “My name is Bellamy Verta,” He gives a little bow, “and this beautiful young lady is Caroline.” He gestures to his companion with an extravagant flourish.
“It’s nice to meet you both.” she says.
“And who might you be, young lady?” Bellamy asks Keegan.
In stark contrast to the last vampire they spoke to, this ‘Bellamy’ almost immediately puts Keegan at ease. First of all, he calls his human by her name, Caroline. Keegan has never heard her name come out of Kane's mouth. Second, he's speaking directly to her. Not at her, or ignoring her completely.
"Keegan." She responds. Then with a quick glance at Kane, reluctantly adds, "...Sir."
"It's lovely to meet you, Keegan." Bellamy reaches out and shakes her hand, his grip soft and warm in mannerism, even if his hands themselves are a bit cold. "I do hope you're not finding this party completely dreadful."
Bellamy turns back to Kane. “As for your question, Caroline and I have a mutually beneficial relationship. She is no prisoner of mine, and is free to come and go as she pleases. She was kind enough to accompany me to this event, given the stringent requirements for entry. Thank you once again for this, darling.”
“It’s no trouble at all.” Caroline smiles.
Caroline is free? She's free, and she chose to be here. Surrounded by murderous vampires and their dead-eyed humans. Suddenly, Keegan decides she hates her. She's been forced into this hell against her will and here's another woman having a perfectly good time with the first vampire Keegan has ever seen that doesn't want to use persuasion. Why does she get to have it easy? She can't quite mask her disbelieving glare.
Well, maybe Bellamy could help? If... if this reunion goes smoothly at least. He and Kane have history, though they clearly didn't part on good terms. She wants to speak to him more but Kane is right there. His threat hangs over her head. Don't speak unless spoken to. So she stands there silently simmering in frustration.
It's obvious Keegan wants to speak. “Do whatever you want, there’s no one here I need to impress," Kane instructs.
“Perhaps you and Caroline can have a chat?" Bellamy suggests. "Dear Kane and I do have so much to catch up on, some of which are rather private matters.” He motions Kane to follow him to the other side of the room.
“Whatever.” Kane gives an exasperated sigh and walks along with him.
Caroline looks after Kane wryly. "Oh, he seems charming," she says, sarcasm dripping from her voice.
"Very." Keegan mutters.
She doesn't want to be a complete dick to this stranger, but she has to ask. As soon as the two vampires are conversing, she hisses, "How can you stand it? Being around all... This. Being around him. He's one of them!" Sure he's polite, but he's still a vampire. What if it's all for show?
Caroline smiles at her, pity in her eyes. "Bellamy is the kindest person I've ever met, human or vampire. In fact, in my experience, humans have been the more dreadful bunch." She gestures back toward the ballroom. "Most vampires aren't like this, you know. The stuck-up noble types. They're just regular people. Most haven't even interacted with a human in their lives, let alone hurt one."
That somehow makes Keegan feel worse. She really got the short end of the stick, then. ‘Don't fucking pity me when you won the vampire lottery’ She thinks sourly.
"I don't care!" She growls. "They're predators. They've ruined my life." She turns and kicks a nearby box hard enough that her foot stings. "Why do you get to be free?" She whispers.
The smile disappears. "I'm sorry, hun. But... Kane ruined your life. Bellamy wouldn't hurt a fly. Literally. When there's a bug in the house, I've gotta be the one to take care of it 'cause he's afraid of creepy-crawlies. Vampires aren't a monolith as much as humans aren't. Bellamy saved my life." Though sometimes, she finds herself falling into the trap of thinking of all of humanity as unsalvageable.
"I'm sorry things have turned out so horribly for you. I hope it gets better," she says sincerely.
Keegan wants to shout, to scream. Maybe this would be easier if she was chained up in a basement somewhere, so freedom wouldn't be standing just out of reach and mocking her. But Caroline is being so patient and kind. She has nothing to do with Keegan's suffering.
She deflates. "I'm sorry. I just- Seeing you here, happy..." she gestures vaguely. "It's a lot." Her lip wobbles. "You're the first human I've spoken to in over two years." The first person really, other than Kane.
"You're the first human I've spoken to in over a decade," Caroline admits. She steps forward, her heart aching for Keegan. "You look like you could use a hug. You want one?"
Keegan starts to cry. "...Please." She hasn't felt a kind touch in just as long. Only pain and harsh manhandling. "I wanna go home..." she mumbles, barely audible. It's pathetic, but she's so lonely, and Caroline is someone who will actually listen.
Caroline wraps her up in a warm embrace. "I'm sorry," she says softly. "I know everything's awful right now. Just hang in there. You never know where life will take you. Take it one day at a time."
Keegan cries into Caroline's shoulder, tightly gripping the fabric of her shirt. It feels good to be held. She doesn't want it to end.
"I'm t-trying." She sobs. "Thank you."
Caroline keeps holding her, as long as she needs, gently rubbing her back. She figures Keegan needs this.
-----
“I can’t believe, after everything you’ve been through, that you would just… subjugate someone like this! Look at her, she has bruises on her arm!” Bellamy gestures pointedly at Keegan. "It's awful!"
Caroline lets go of Keegan, turning to watch the argument. She places herself protectively between Keegan and Kane.
“She wouldn't have bruises if she fucking behaved!” Kane retorts. “I don’t know why you suddenly insist on acting like I’m lesser than the rest of my family when you were always the one to tell me I wasn’t. I’m a De Sang, this is what we do.”
“I didn’t mean–” Bellamy pinched the bridge of his nose in frustration, “Why is it that the thing you want to live up to is their cruelty?”
“It’s not cruelty, it’s the way the world works! You’re the one who’s a freak.” Kane spits. “You just don’t want me to be happy! Now that I have a human, I can finally get the respect I deserve!”
Bellamy scoffs. “Oh, is that it? Are you happy now, Kane? I can see that sucking up to those pricks has made you so much less of a bitter, miserable person. You’re just the absolute picture of happiness!”
“I need. A minute.” Kane takes a deep breath and glares at Keegan. “Stay. Here.” He storms out of the storage room, slamming the door behind him.
Keegan holds her breath when Kane turns to her with fury in his eyes and flinches when he slams the door.
“I apologize.” Bellamy says, “That got out of hand. I do hope I’ve caused no undue trouble for you, Keegan.”
"It's ok. He, uh, only hurts me when he's mad at me specifically." She says, subconsciously rubbing the bruises Bellamy pointed out. "Which is often, unfortunately. You two used to be friends?" She can't imagine someone as polite as Bellamy wanting to be around Kane.
Bellamy looks to her apologetically, like he's embarrassed of ever having been Kane's friend. "When we were boys. I haven't spoken to him in eighty-five years. He's always been prone to bouts of anger, but not so explosive as he is now. Or perhaps, he simply never had the opportunity."
Keegan sighs. "He just didn't have a human to kick around yet. Thank you for at least trying to talk him out. I've never met a vampire like you before." She feels a bit guilty for calling him a 'predator' just moments ago, but hopefully he was too preoccupied to have heard it.
"I'm sorry my kind has left such a horrible impression on you," Bellamy says sadly.
Caroline nudges him. "Bel, isn't there anything we can...?"
Bellamy shakes his head. "I'm afraid not." Attempting to steal a human from this event would go poorly for all involved, he's sure.
Keegan wants to cry again. "If you could- I know it's a long shot and probably isn't worth it- but if you could keep trying?" God this is pathetic. "Keep trying to convince him?"
"Of course, dear. Of course I can," Bellamy promises.
It's not hard to anticipate Kane’s return, his stomping audible from a mile away.
“My mother’s here. We’re going back out.” he announces, grabbing Keegan’s bruised forearm.
“Kane, wait." Bellamy's voice is firm. He chooses his words carefully in an attempt to appeal to Kane's values. "Please. I know things got out of hand tonight, but none of that is Keegan's fault. She's only a human. Surely, violence against someone so much weaker than yourself is beneath you. You're better than this."
Kane hesitates. "W-whatever. We're going," he says, but his grip on Keegan relaxes just a bit.
Bellamy looks over to Keegan. “It truly was lovely to meet you, dear. I do wish you the best.”
'Just a human- so much weaker'. There's that awful talking-down-to again, but it works at least a little. She and her arm are grateful to Bellamy for trying.
"Likewise. You too Caroline." Keegan responds. Kane is pulling her back out before she can say much else, but she mouths a sincere "Thank you" as they turn the corner.
Caroline waves at her, sadness in her eyes.
-----
Kane leads her back out to the main room. In the few minutes they’ve been gone, the room has filled out with occupants. Kane lets go of Keegan, trusting her to follow him on her own. He walks up to an older vampire woman, dressed to the nines. “Hello, Mother!” Kane says, a huge smile plastered on his face.
“Oh! Kane, Anton was just telling me you were here!” Kane’s mother exclaims.
“I have a human!” he boasts, gesturing to Keegan.
“That’s very nice.” She nods, not even glancing at Keegan. “Finally catching up! Say, your one hundredth is soon, isn’t it? Maybe we could do something for it!”
“It was two years ago, actually!” Kane’s smile falters for a fraction of a second before returning to its chipper state.
“Oh, well, there’s always two hundred!” she says breezily.
“Yeah!” Kane agrees, glancing around a bit. “U-um, do you know when Father…?”
Kane’s mother smiles. “He was right behind me, should be here any second. Listen, I really would like to stay and chat, but there are so many people I need to speak with tonight.”
His smile really does fall then. “Oh, but I thought-”
She puts a hand near his shoulder, making the motion of a comforting gesture without actually touching him. “You’re doing good. Keep it up.”
Kane beams. “I will!” he nearly shouts as his mother walks away. “That went amazing! That went so well!” Kane enthuses as soon as she's out of earshot.
Did it? That was hard for Keegan to watch. If this is how they treat him, no wonder Kane doesn't talk about his family. She's glad to be ignored by Kane's mother, she wishes he'd stop showing her off like a trophy and drawing attention to her. ‘I'm not an object.’ She reminds herself once again.
Suddenly, all chit-chat dissipates as a new vampire enters.
He doesn’t look much different than any other vampire, aside from obviously being the oldest. He appears in his seventies, though he is likely hundreds, if not over a thousand years in age. But… there is something wrong about him, something any aware human will be able to feel. An energy permeates the room, a deep, human instinct screaming RUN, YOU ARE IN DANGER, YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF HERE RIGHT NOW. This man, above all, is a predator made to hunt things like Keegan.
The human beside him looks dead, far beyond the entranced looks of everyone else. There is zero spark of life behind his eyes, yet he continues standing and breathing, moving along with the vampire like a puppet, clearly somehow alive.
Kane puts a hand to the center of Keegan's back and begins leading her in a beeline directly for the man.
"Father!” Kane calls, all excitement and nerves.
-----
If Death has a physical form, Keegan is sure she has just found it. This is Kane's father. This monster. The blood drains from her face and her entire body trembles. She's been scared before, sure. She grew up in a toxic, violent household and now kills vampires for a living. Fear has kept her alive. But she's only felt true, primal terror of this kind twice in her life. Once, when her mother's throat was torn out in front of her, and now here. At this moment, despite all logic, Keegan is sure with every bone in her body that she is not going to survive the night.
Kane pushes her forward as if to the gallows.
Kane’s father glances briefly at Keegan before turning his eyes on Kane.
The man sighs, shooting Kane a glare. “What is it?” His voice is deep and cold.
“I-I got a human…” he claims timidly, his confidence draining at the icy reception.
Kane’s father does not ignore Keegan as his wife had. Instead, he turned his gaze directly onto her, piercing red eyes almost digging under Keegan's skin. The man brings a hand to Keegan's chin and tilts her head to the side to expose her feeding scars, his skin devoid of warmth.
“Sloppy work,” he comments.
The only reason Keegan does not rip her head away from him is because she knows it would only bring about her demise that much faster. She doesn't blink, staring straight into his eyes. She feels like a child curled up in bed, watching the closet door through the darkness of the room. The moment she blinks the monster will get her. Her skin burns under his touch despite the cold of his hand. ‘Please, I don't want to die. Not like this.’
Kane rushes to defend himself. “I wasn’t, um, that good at feeding at first, but I figured it out! For the past year and a half, I’ve-”
Kane’s father puts a hand up to stop him, and Kane’s mouth snaps shut instantly. His other hand is still on the underside of Keegan's chin, so close to her throat. “It can’t be helped. Passable.” The man finally lets go of her, and walks away without another word.
Kane’s eyes are wide. “Passable…” he repeats to himself in awe, clutching his hands to his chest.
The rest of the night goes without incident, Kane seeming in high spirits. Anton does give Keegan a few glances as it goes on, but at one point he shrugs, as if to say ‘not worth it’. Kane attempts small-talk with a few other people throughout the night, who all largely disregard him. He spends a lot of time wallflowering by himself. Occasionally he starts chatting with Keegan, then realizes he shouldn't be doing that and stops, embarrassed. After a few hours, people start to leave. Kane only exits once his parents do. As they get back in the car, he grins at Keegan. "That went fantastically. You can make your phone call as soon as we get home. Well done."
Keegan doesn't match Kane's good mood. She takes a while to recover from the interaction with his father. She's shaky, and doesn't want him out of her line of sight. He seems fully uninterested in them which helps, but being trapped in the same building with such a threat is rough on her nerves. She stubbornly holds on to her poker face, keeping all her fear in her clenched fists.
Eventually she's able to relax, especially when Kane dares to talk to her a bit. At least he isn't a threat to her at the moment. It's all worth it in the end too, as he keeps his end of the deal. She lived through the night and she's going to get to speak to her sister for the first time in years! It's so exciting, and also a whole new kind of terrifying after so long without contact.
-----
When they return home, Kane removes his tie. "Go on," he says, nodding at the rotary phone sitting on a small table in the corner of the living room. "You've earned it."
He sits on the couch and picks up a book from the mug table.
‘I shouldn't have to earn it.’ Keegan thinks. She can't find it in herself to be mad though. Not right now.
“Ok!” She practically runs to the phone and begins to dial. She feels sick to her stomach with nerves. She doesn't even know what she's going to say. 'I love you. I'm alive. Are you safe??' Those are at the top of the list. But truly she just wants to hear Lohitha’s voice. It's been so, so long.
The phone rings for a while. Each one builds dread in Keegan's stomach. But it is quite early in the morning. It'll just take a minute for her to answer. Right? Keegan bites her lip. ‘C'mon, pick up. please.’
Finally, the line connects and Keegan hears shuffling of fabric and a quiet yawn. "Lohitha?!" She cries desperately. "It's me, Keegan!"
There's a beat of silence. Then a deep, male voice answers. "Who?"
Keegan's heart stops. "Wh- I'm... I'm Keegan Khatri. I'm looking for Lohitha Khatri? Who are y-"
The man interrupts her, tired irritation in his voice. "You got the wrong number." CLICK
The line goes dead. Keegan gasps. No. no no no. She knows that was the right number. She's had it memorized since the moment they moved to that address. But... It's an apartment. She didn't even THINK about that. Lohi wouldn't be living there alone, of course she'd move. Keegan was so caught up in speaking to her she wasted her chance like an idiot! Her eyes flood with tears and she slowly turns towards Kane. He said one phone call. One.
Kane can quietly hear the other line with his supernatural hearing, even from halfway across the room.
He looks up from his book. "I'm no conman, human. I'm a man of my word. One successful phone call." He looks back down and flips the page.
Of course. Kane's at least practical. She lets out a sigh of relief. Keegan is so anxious that she isn't thinking straight.
“Thank you…”
She's not sure how to contact Lohitha now. She could be anywhere. But there's one person who would possibly know. Her hunting partner.
She dials. Only two rings this time before an answer.
"Vivian speaking."
Keegan sighs in relief and smiles. "Hey, partner."
"Keegan??"
"Yeah Vee, it's me. I'm alive. Surprise?"
"What?? The fuck? Where have you been? We thought you were-"
"I was taken. Still am, but... he let me call."
"Oh my God. Ok. Where are you? I will get a group together and come after you I swear-"
"No- Vivian no." Keegan glances at Kane. "That's not- I'm ok. Mostly. I'm not calling for a rescue," ‘as much as I wish I could.’ "I need to know. Lohitha, is she OK? Tell me she's ok."
"Oh- yes! Keegan she's fine! She's been living with me. She's just fine."
Just like that, a massive weight is lifted off Keegan's shoulders. She finally knows. After all this time. Her little sister is safe. Tears of relief pour down her face. "-Thank you, Vee. Thank you so much." She cries. "Please, can you go get her? I need to talk to her. Please."
"Oh… I’m… Keegan she's not home right now. I'm so sorry-"
"What??" No. No. This can't be happening. She was so close!
"She's on a school trip. She won't be home for a few days! Is there any possible way you can call again?"
"No, this.... this is my only one." Keegan says in defeat. After all that... She can't even hear her sister's voice. Her heart is shattering. "Just... Tell her I love her? And I'm so, so sorry. I'm trying to come back to her."
"Of course. I swear I will. She loves you too. She misses you so much."
Keegan sobs. She can't take this anymore. "T-thank you. Please... please k-keep her safe."
"I won't let anything happen to her. You have my word." Quietly Vivian adds, "is there no way you can tell me where-"
"No. He's listening. I just needed... closure." It sounds so final. But she hopes the wording will appease Kane.
-----
Kane does not like the sound of ‘I'm trying to come back to her.’ If his human escaped, he would be the laughing-stock of the century. No one's human ever escapes. No one else's human has the capacity to even want to.
This is why he doesn't allow phone calls. It puts the wrong ideas in his human's head, makes her think she serves a purpose outside being his. The human on the other line keeps trying to plan a rescue, too. This is not good.
"None of this 'trying to go back' business," he reminds her, not looking up from his book.
Hot anger rushes through Keegan. She whips around, face still streaked with tears. "Excuse me for trying to comfort my kid sister who has lost the only family she has left!" She spits, then immediately flinches from her mistake. Fuck, she didn't mean to talk back, this is the worst time-
Kane gives her a deadpan look. "You're lucky I'm in a very good mood, human. Final warning. Behave." He waves for her to continue her call.
She's on thin ice here. She's definitely lucky. She turns back towards the wall with the phone.
"It's not an option, Vivian. But I'm surviving."
"I cannot sit back knowing you're trapped there." Vivian insists. Keegan can tell she's trying to get her to slip her a hint. But Keegan was never the clever one. There's nothing she can say that would not end badly for her or any humans that tried to rescue her. No hidden clue she can pass on.
"You're an incredible friend, Vivian." Keegan says instead. "The best partner. And I love you too. Tell the squad I say hey. Kick my dad in the balls if he tries coming around. Sober or not."
"Keegan you are not about to end this call. I will kill you myself-"
She has to end it. Vivian will never let it go and Keegan can't handle much more. "Lohitha has always wanted a dog, by the way. Goodbye Vivian."
"Don't you fucking dare-"
Click. Keegan places the phone back on the wall, hanging up. She stares unmoving in the silence that follows.
-----
Kane is honestly torn. He does feel for the human: he knows what it's like to be separated from the love of his family. He honestly considers giving her a second chance to call her sister.
But no, he has to stay firm. He is a person, the human is not. It's very clear that if the human talks to her sister, she's just going to be that more determined to get back to her. And he still remembers the horrible pain of boiling water from two years ago. A clean break is best.
"You can go back to your room now," he suggests in the awkward silence.
His human doesn't speak, doesn't look at him. She just shuffles back to her room, staring at her feet. Kane, quite honestly, forgets about the human's troubles soon after she leaves the room. He heads upstairs to his own room, giddy with excitement about the relatively-positive reception from his parents.
The moment the door is shut behind her, Keegan slides down the wall and cries. She doesn't care if Kane hears. She doesn't care about much at all anymore. Her heart has just split in two.

Hi Raven!
I’ve read your recent writings for the Fellow blog event (the one where Fellow meets Jamil and the one where Fellow is informed of who exactly was in the NRC Playful Land group) and that’s got me curious.
I know this is mostly speculation, but who do you imagine Fellow’s ex-employer to be such that he would be so casual about the identities of his marks? People like Jack, Ace, and Trey are ordinary and come from ordinary families. I would understand for the likes of Vil and if you stretch it, Cater, who while rich and/or influential (or are the children of such people) can still be considered ‘regular’ rich kids. My point is that sadly I feel it wouldn’t be hard for their kidnapping to be labelled as a tragic disappearance and swept under the rug.
But then concerning others such as Kalim, Leona, the Tweels, Ortho, and such, it would spell much trouble for the kidnappers? As Jamil put it to Fellow, them disappearing isn’t a matter that can simply be hand waved away. I have no doubt that Fellow’s ex-employers aren’t small time crooks and actually have power, but surely that power has its limits in the face of what they would have to deal with. They wouldn’t be incurring the wrath of one force, it would be many. Many forces, I might add, with the power and resources to track them down even through unofficial means. As a side note, Book 6 showed us how Idia was willing to destroy the world for Ortho.
Then again, it could just be Fellow’s hubris getting the better of him such that he has vastly overestimated the capabilities of his ex-employers? He seems to me like someone on the lower rungs (sorry Fellow) of the Playful Land criminal endeavor and wouldn’t be privy to the details or who exactly is involved. I dunno, maybe I’m thinking too much into this. But it would be nice to hear your thoughts on the matter!
[Referencing this post and this post!]
Yes, Fellow is very small fish to fry compared to his employers. We learn in his Playful Dress vignettes that Fellow only took up the Playful Land gig because he happened to find a job posting for it that pays well. It's not likely that he has a lot of say in what goes on if they were looking to hire just about anyone willing to do the dirty work, despite claiming to be the park manager.
While he doesn't seem to know the exact details of who the more influential boys of the group are, he at least knows about their affiliation with THE prestigious Night Raven College (which is partly why he targets them in the first place). However, Fellow does still demonstrate complete assurance that they can get away with their entire operation. I think this is the result of two factors. One is, as you may have suggested, Fellow not knowing much about the inner workings of the organization (and thus having no knowledge of its limits). The other is far scarier (and seems to be more likely to me due to the evidence we have on hand), which hints at a criminal underbelly in Twisted Wonderland that holds even more money and influence than even the Asim family has. The latter is implied, as Fellow brags quite often about his benefactors and even discusses the construction of the park as being the result of many powerful mages. Cater also mentions early in the event that Playful Land has been trending on socials lately, but this also implies that NONE of the people that went missing after going to the park made headlines or drew suspicion to Playful Land. This means that not only do the people behind the park have money, but somehow also the far-reaching power to control literally every bit of information on the web about them. Let's not forget too that they SOMEHOW have the technological capabilities to jam and limit Ortho's capabilities, even though this guy was made by a genius inventor.
Now look, I'm not saying that frightening organizations like this don't exist in real life. To deny that is to be ignorant. What I am saying is that for game like Twst (where several of the main characters are from very crazy wealthy families), it's asking us to do a LOT of suspension of disbelief in order to sell the story. This is just the beginning of my list of gripes with the logic of Playful Land. If you want to read more of my thoughts on the subject, you can check out this post!

I'm wondering if you could do like a buddy whos alt mode is like a white wolf or something like that— with the Autobot team in TFA(Transformer animation) or TFP(Transformer prime) SORRY IF THIS IS TOO MUCH🧎😭
Buddy with a wolf alt mode? Yes!
I chose animated for this one.
Hope you enjoy!
Bot Buddy with a wolf alt-mode with Team Prime
SFW, Platonic, Cybertronain reader
TFA
Buddy always had trouble with their T-cog.
Even while they were on Cybertron, they couldn’t quite scan any altmode, nothing would stick with them.
They got many rude remarks about it, the main one being that they were defective.
It was one of the reasons they joined the team.
When Buddy saw everyone start transforming, they got a bit excited. Maybe they could finally get an alt-mode.
Nope.
They still couldn’t get an alt-mode.
Many of the humans did ask why they couldn’t transform, most being genuinely curious, while others were a bit more insensitive about it.
The Team always backed up Buddy whenever those comments were made.
Buddy was with Sari at the zoo one night when they felt something weird inside, they brushed it off and continued walking.
Once they reached the wolves enclosure Buddy felt something deep in their tanks and shifting of plates.
The next thing they knew they were on all fours, had a tail, and—when did they get so tall!
Team that loves Buddy’s alt mode
These bots are very surprised seeing Buddy with an alt mode. Even more it being one of organic origins. They are just glad Buddy finally has an alt mode, they seemed much happier with it than before. Sure, it didn’t have any wheels built in, but their speed and agility has proven its worth.
Optimus Prime
Prowl
Ratchet
Bulkhead
Team who secretly thinks that they should think about getting rid of that alt mode
None. None of them think that. They are willing to fight, however says that Buddy should have a different alt mode.
Team who constantly tries to ride them into battle
These Bots have two solid reactions. One reaction sees this as an opportunity. Sure, they can go into battle with their alt mode… but that wouldn’t be half as fun. Whether Buddy offered it or not they are going to try it. The second reaction is a tamer version of the first one. They love Buddy’s alt mode, but they are respectful enough to ask for permission and make sure not to ask too many times.
Prowl
Bumblebee
Sari
Bulkhead

Lessons| Stray Kids
Lesson 4
Part 4 of Lessons
Part One, Two, Three 👈🏽
Warnings ⚠️: Dom x sub dynamics, rough sex, dacryphilia, Oral (Male and Female Receiving), finger sucking, creampie, dirty talk, degradation, spanking, sir kink, mommy kink, Switch!Jisung, Dom!Minho, Switch!Reader
“Now, are you ready for the next lesson, little slut?” Minho asked firmly, his hand on your thigh gripping it tighter. “N-now, but it’s 2:30 in the morning.” You replied looking over to your clock. “So, this is the perfect time to break in the new instructor and student, and besides, I think Chan was a little too loud when he spoke to me about how hard he and Hyunjin went on you earlier in the shower yesterday, because our next student was very eager to come and get help from you which is why he’s here. He said that he has always been heavily invested in learning from me and you.” Minho spoke. You bit your lip in curiosity, which member could he be talking about, you’ve already fucked half of the group so that only leaves three men left. “Okay, then where is he?” You asked. Minho looked towards the crack opened peak of your bedroom door that connects to your hallway, you looked to where he stood before he called him in. “C’mon, don’t be shy, how can you be shy when you want to learn?” Minho asked taunting his younger member. When the door opened, your eyes widened in surprise. You never really spoke with him too much, but knew that he always had a shy side and wild side.
“(Y/n), I know you know Jisung right?” “Yes, hey Jisung.” You spoke. Jisung waved back shyly, very soft like. You were very curious about what his sex problem was. “So Jisung is having problems with the idea of dom and sub dynamics. He told me his friend with benefits is tired of having vanilla sex, and he wants to know how he can change that.” Minho said, causing Jisung to look down. The entire explanation is the most sought on explanation for any member you’ve heard of. Jisung is very quiet around you. You’ve seen how he tries to spark a conversation, but nothing there. It makes perfect sense that he would be having trouble with being dominant in bed.
“Yeah, so now, we need to help him.” Minho stated looking at you. “Yeah sure, no problem. Jisung come sit next to me.” You said, motioning him over. Jisung slowly walked to your bed and down next to you. Minho retracted himself from between your thighs and sat on the opposite side of Jisung in your large bed. “I know we don’t talk that much to each other but I need you to trust me that you can talk to me about any sex issues you have okay?” You asked. “Yes, I trust you (Y/n).” Jisung finally spoke, making you smile. “So what’s the problem?” You asked. “Well, I’ve been having sex with this beautiful girl, we have had sex many times, but she says she is tired of having vanilla sex and wants to change up, but I don’t really know anything else apart from the basics.” You sighed before beginning to rub his shoulders. “Jisung, it’s okay, that’s normal, most people don’t have to know the hardcore stuff so early, as long as you know the basics, that’s fine, but first I wanna know are you willing to learn power play because of your friend, or for yourself?” You asked. “Well, at first it was for her, but then I started to think about how it would be if I knew how to be a little different in bed. So now it’s for me.” You smiled at his eager and happy expression as he kindly replied to you. He looked so adorable at times, but you’ve seen this man perform before, you knew that he has a switch inside him that could turn on any second and become the most hottest and dominant thing on the planet. You were up for the challenge and that intrigued you so much.
You inched closer over to Jisung, eyes staring at Minho, signaling that you were ready to start. Minho gave you a nod and a subtle hand gesture to proceed. “So Jisung, when you say you want to learn about dom and sub things, what would you want to be a dom, sub, or switch?” You asked with soft eyes. “What’s the main difference?” He asked confusingly. You smirked before reaching to his sweatpants and began to toy with the string. “It’s very simple, if you like, to control things, you would lean to more dominant like Minho in the corner.” You untied the sweats, and then moved your hand softly over his thigh. “If you like to be taken care of, you lean on the more submissive side.” Your hand slightly grazed over his dick causing him to bite his lip, you moved your hand up inside his white T-shirt and grazed his abs before slowly moving your hand inside his sweats. “And finally, if you like both you would be a switch.” “Fuck!” Jisung moaned when you began to rub his bare cock inside his sweats. “So what will it be… Sungie?” You teased licking the shell of his ear. “Fuck, please just do something!” He moaned. “(Y/n), I’m pretty sure we’re going with sub first.” Minho snickered. He pulled up a chair and sat down observing your efforts to teach Jisung.
“Tell me what you want Sungie, are you gonna be a good boy for me?” You asked with a more playful tone. “Yes, (Y/n), I’ll be good for you, please, can you pull my pants down, I need release!” He whined. You giggled at his little efforts, he was so cute. “Only if you give me the password, then I will take them off.” You replied. “Password, no, I can’t come up with a password, (Y/n), I need you now please, please.” His pleas kept getting whinier, until he finally said the one word that brought you back to his submissive reality. “Please m-mommy.” You looked up at him with a gleam in your eyes, even Minho was shocked that he said that word. To him, Minho knew that Jisung knew more than what he was leading on.
“Aww, you’re such a good boy Sungie!” You kissed his cheek before removing his sweats, allowing his cock to spring up proudly. He has got to have one of the prettiest dicks you have ever seen, decent length and girth with a nice pink tip that is oozing with precum. You took his cock in your hands and began to pump his shaft up and down as he whined for you. “Ngh, mommy please, more.” “You’re so good to mommy huh Sungie?” He nodded harshly. Your thumb rubbed over his tip causing him to buck his hips in anticipation. You moved down towards the bed in the opposite direction and aligned your mouth with his dick before licking his tip, and pushing your mouth finally down his length.
“Mmm, mommy yes.” He whined. “Tell her how she’s making you feel Jisung.” Minho said, finally speaking into existence again. “She feels so good, mommy’s mouth is so good.” You hummed before looking up at him and winking causing him to whimper some more. You slurped as hard as you could knowing he wasn’t going to last long. You began to take more into your mouth, sucking on his dick until he began to buck his hips up into you, and whining so loud, that you could hear it echo throughout the room. “Mommy, mommy please I’m gonna cum, let me cum!” He moaned. You brought your tongue back to his tip, licking it until you could feel heavy spurts of cum landing on your tongue. “Mommy, I’m cumming!” You smiled as you let him finish up his release, allowing him to come down from space and back to reality. You popped your head back up and looked at Minho with a smile, that he also reciprocated, knowing that this session was going well.
“Now Sungie, you’ve been so good for mommy, that she’s gonna let you touch and taste her. Would you like that?” You asked with seductive eyes. “Please mommy please, wanna touch you.” He replied as he sat up immediately causing you to giggle. You removed your top, and left your panties on that were now covered in your wetness from the time you woke up to Minho eating you out, to now. Jisung groaned heavily. Now seeing your naked body in his eyesight. You laid your back up against your headboard, with your chest sitting up on display waiting for Jisung. “Don’t be shy Sungie, come touch me, touch mommy.” You said, causing him to move closer, and reaching his hands out. Jisung started at your shoulders, taking in the soft flesh of your body before he began to move his hands down to your chest before groping your tits and finally taking one into his mouth.
“Oh fuck Jisung!” You whined. His lips locked around your nipple sucking like his life depended on it. “Mm, Jisung loves tits, don’t you?” Minho asks Jisung as he hums against your chest. “It’s okay Jisung, she loves it when you play with them just as much as you do.” You groan at Minho’s words. Jisung continued to play with your chest until he couldn’t wait anymore. The anticipation of tasting you was too much to bear. He kissed down to your pink panties and kissed the top of them before removing them. He looked at you with pleading eyes before you smirked and spread your legs giving him access to your dripping heat. He let out a sigh and a big gulp before laying on his stomach, ready to eat you out, but then, a thought popped into his head. He got up and flipped his body over so he was laid on his back. You looked at him with a questioning face before he spoke. “I want mommy to ride my face.” You looked so shocked, even Minho sat up in his chair. He knew that Jisung needed help, but didn’t know he was that bold. He was really eager to see what was going to take place between the two of you.
“Okay Sungie, I can ride your face. Is that what you want, me to ride your face, think you can do a good job?” You asked, with a hand in his hair. “Yes, I wanna make you feel good.” He whined. You looked at Minho with a soft expression, and then got on top of Jisung’s chest. “Okay then, you naughty boy. Make me feel good.” You shifted over his mouth, and slowly lowered yourself on his mouth.
“Oh fuck!” You moaned. Jisung took off with no hesitation as he began to lick at your clit like a starved man. He satisfied your pussy with ease, and it felt like heaven. “Yes Jisung, just like that, your tongue feels amazing!” You whined. Minho let out a light cough that made you look straight at him. He shot you a glare that made you realize that you were the dom in this situation, but at this point you didn’t care. Jisung was making you feel too good and you would rather have him take care of you at this point, but you know you wouldn’t be on Minho’s good graces at all if you did that.
“Oh Sungie, you make mommy feel so good, where did you learn to do this?” You chuckled, making him smile under you. His soft eyes never left yours as he continued to slurp you up. His tongue prodding at your entrance before inserting it inside you making you moan louder. Jisung began to moan against you as he ate you out even harder. His hands moved up to your breasts playing with your nipples as he moved them around with the pads of his thumbs. “Oh, baby boy, you’re gonna make mommy cum.” You stated. Jisung went back to sucking your clit, and that sent you right over the edge. You released instantly, moaning Jisung’s name, and calling him a good boy. Minho sat back smirking at the lewd display in front of him. He didn’t know if he wanted you to dom Jisung some more, or take over and let both of them have their way with you, but with the obvious boner in his pants straining against them, he doesn’t know if he can hold out for the second opinion any longer.
You got off of Jisung when he finished cleaning you up with his tongue. As he sat up, you kissed his lips, and smiled. “Good, good, boy, you made me feel so good. What am I gonna do with you?” You said, causing Jisung to smile. “Glad I got to make you feel good. How did I do hyung?” Jisung said. Minho looked at the both of you before getting out of the chair and walking towards the bed. His eyes were completely filled with lust as he stared you down. You were ready to fuck Jisung, but now you don’t know if were going to with the way Minho was staring at you.
“You did a good job Jisung, but I think it’s time our little kitten got some more demanding attention, don’t you think? C’mon Jisung, show her the other side of you.” Minho said, and like clockwork, Jisung smirked and then grabbed your hips and flipped you over on your back causing you to gasp and Minho to smirk. “I enjoyed your little act, but I already had a talk with Minho earlier, and he said that you tend to become a slut when you’re very needy. Is that true?” Jisung asked. Your mind and body was still in shock from how fast he switched from sub to dom that you couldn’t even process anything. Jisung slapped your tit making you revert back to reality, the action sending pulse waves to your pussy. “Yes, I become a slut.” You whined. Jisung smirked and looked up at Minho who was still standing in front of the bed. “Tell you what (Y/n), I’ll fuck this pussy first and then let my instructor show me how it’s done when I’m through with you? How does that sound?” Jisung whispered in your ear. “Yes please!” You replied. “Mm, good girl.” Jisung positioned your body to where your body was in the opposite direction of your pillows, your head right underneath Minho’s hard bulge. Jisung placed himself in between your legs and rubbed his tip against your folds making you whimper. “Fuck, such a wet and pretty pussy.” Jisung said making you whimper. “Jisung please fuck me, I can’t take waiting any longer.” You replied. Jisung slapped your thigh. “Take what I’m giving you.” You nodded and without warning he pushed into your throbbing hole making you moan out. Jisung bottomed out causing him to groan. He began to fuck you harder as your body began to adjust to his length.
“Fuck Jisung, it feels so good!” You moaned. His pace was rough and hard as he abused your pussy through and through. “Fuck Angel, you wrap around me so good, I love this pussy, I see what Minho and Chan are talking about.” He said making you roll your eyes back. His hands wrapped tighter around your waist as he pounded into you harder than before. The best part about being in this position was that you were right under Minho’s hard erection. You could read Minho like a book and by the way he was biting his lip at you getting fucked by Jisung you could tell that he was ready to fuck you next. He watched the scene before his eyes, taking in your breasts bouncing at every thrust from Jisung, your pants and moans, and the way his dick kept going back and forth inside you. The truth is that since Chan and him agreed to this idea, he never realized that he wouldn’t get to have his way with you for a while, now that Chan has done his part, it’s finally his time to have you for the next few days.
As you neared your orgasm, you did the unthinkable and moved your hand to Minho’s boner and palmed him through his pants. Minho moaned and threw his head back. Making you smirk. “Kitten, you don’t know what you’re in for, just you wait.” He groaned. The Thought made you think about Minho fucking you for a good moment, but the thought ended when Jisung pulled all the way out of you and thrusted back in hard. “Oh, fuck!” You yelled. “Don’t think of him, I’m the one making you feel good (Y/n)!” Jisung groaned. “I know I’m sorry Jisung! You’re making me feel good.” You whined. Minho then smirked, he never Jisung was the jealous type. A thought popped up into his head that he was really proud of.
“It’s okay Jisung, you’re doing a great job, but you’ll never be able to make her respect you like I would, she’s used to me, not you.” “Wanna bet, by the end of the night, she’s gonna respect me and you. (Y/n), do you wanna be my little slut as well hm?” Jisung asked. “Yes, yes, Jisung, I wanna be your slut fuck, I’m so close.” You replied, nearing your peak. “Yeah, wanna cum? Wanna show Minho how good I can make you feel? Open your mouth baby.” Jisung said. Obeying him, you opened your mouth and Jisung removed his hand off your hip and put his middle and ring finger into your mouth. You began to suck on them as your pussy clenched against him making you whine. “Fuck who knew you loved fingers?” Minho groaned making you whine. Never in a million years would he think that Jisung would’ve done this. Jisung hit your g-spot over and over again, the sweat building up on your bodies, it took a few more thrusts before you were finally sent over the edge.
“Oh god, Jisung!” You moaned, releasing on Jisung’s cock. “Good girl, you’re so good for me, fuck I’m gonna cum.” Jisung moaned, releasing into you. He rode out his high before pulling out of you, and collapsing on the opposite side of you. He looked at your fucked out stance before giving you a long awaited kiss before you felt your head hit the bed, Minho moving from his place to the front of you with his clothes discarded, cock standing at atttention.
“Suck.” Minho said, and you obliged moving to the front to suck on his dick easily. You licked his tip before immediately sucking on his dick already taking him in like a pro. Minho’s moans were enough to get you needy for him again. Already pinching your nipples, and your free hand going towards your opening, Minho took note of this and pulled him off of you causing you to whine.
“Get on your knees (Y/n).” He said sternly. You flipped over and Minho landed a smack to your ass making you moan. “Jisung get in front of her and get your dick sucked again, since you did so well, can’t have her too loud can we?” He asked causing you to nod slightly. With one sigh, Minho pushed into your already wet cunt making you whimper. Jisung’s dick was in front of you ready to be sucked as he stroked it with the most attentive smirk. Your eyes stared him down as you took him in your mouth. Once there, Minho began to thrust hard into you making you groan against Jisung’s cock as he moaned, stroking your hair softly.
“Ugh, Min-Minho, you and Chan have such a good little whore on your hands, willing to bow down to any one that’s willing to give some good dick to her.” Jisung groaned. “Yeah, I know she’s such a little whore, waiting to be fucked, she likes getting pounded until she feels dumb isn’t that right, kitten? Tell Jisung how much you love to get fucked like a whore?” You removed your mouth from Jisung while your hand occupied his cock pumping it up and down. “I love being a whore Jisung, love when there’s a cock in me to fill my leaking pussy up, I love creaming on a good dick Jisung, oh!” You whined, making Minho groan while simultaneously spanking your ass. “Fuck what a good girl.” Minho replied. He pulled your body up by your throat before turning your head and giving you the most intense kiss of the whole night. You continued to pump Jisung in your hands due to the close proximity of it all. With so much happening around you, you knew it wouldn’t take long before your next release of the night.
“Whose pussy is this?” Minho asked. “Y-yours.” You replied. “Whose is it (Y/n)? I didn’t hear you?” “Yours Minho!” “And does this pussy want to cum for me?” “Yes, yes, please!” You whined, begging for your release. “I only want you to do one thing for me… I need you to make Jisung cum first, he’s done so well with everything, he deserves to cum.” Minho let’s your body go before he finally puts you back on Jisung cock sucking like your life depended on it.
“Fuck thank you hyung, her mouth is perfect I’m so close!” Jisung moaned, making you whimper in his mouth. You sucked him like the worlds best lollipop ever and was eager for him to cum. Minho began to play dirty by using one of his hands to rub your clit causing your body to jolt. With your whines and whimpers on Jisung’s cock, he came within no time, hot cum shooting down your throat once again was a highlight within itself, especially when you Jisung’s orgasm face as well. “Ugh, your mouth is something serious (Y/n).” Jisung said, but your brain was focused on releasing to not even concentrate. “Good work kitten, now I need you to cum.” Minho said, and you finally got to release.
“Fuck!” You moaned as you came on Minho’s dick, your pussy clenching as you came, your body shaking at the intense feeling. Minho’s groans were picking up as well before he finally released inside you, shooting his cum in you at ease. “Fuck (Y/n)!” Minho moaned. He pulled your ass cheeks apart looking at the creamy mess between your legs, your pussy gaping open from the abuse the two boys gave you from their dicks. Once Minho pulled out, your body basically fell against the bed, but Jisung helped you to your pillows and placed you down next to him. Minho climbed up to the side of you as well, now trapped between both boys. Minho softly kissed your shoulder as well as Jisung on your other shoulder.
“You did a great job, (Y/n), you were so good for the both of us, and thank you Minho hyung, you helped me learn a lot more in the art of sex.” Jisung. “I’m glad I did, and now we can rest, especially her, because I need her healthy for the next lesson.” Minho replied. You turned to Minho with a questioned face. “Who’s it gonna be for the next lesson?” You asked. “He promised me to be quiet, but let’s just say, I need you to be able to bend like a pretzel kitten…”

Thinking about Gale Dekarios as a Dad
A/N: Is this self indulgent? Yes, but we're on the cringe website, so who cares. As always thanks to @leighsartworks216 for letting me ramble.
So first things first, this is more centered around my thoughts about Gale becoming a father to my Single Mom!Tav's (Gwen) daughter Clara and eventually their daughter Morgan. But, I think this can apply to Gale being a father in general
Just imagine Gale getting hit with the triple whammy on not only does he want to live, not only is he more than willing to remain a mortal man in order to be with Gwen, but doing so also means he has a new responsibility of being a father to Clara
Once Gale decides he's going to do something, he does not half ass it
He may not be confident in his ability as a father, but damn it he's going to try
Queue him finding every book on parenting he can and going to Gwen constantly for advice (and assurance he's not completely fucking this up)
He, of course, ends up having to throw most of it out since Gwen was 100% right and most of it is just improvisation, but he did need some base for security
I personally headcanon that his father wasn't in the picture so he doesn't exactly have an example of what a good father looks like
While to do think Gale would still teach in Waterdeep, that man is using a dimension door to get to class because he's moving in with Gwen and Clara
Clara has her own friends and a small community Gwen found when she was first on her own raising her; this is more about just Gale and Gwen being together, it's about them being a family, so not forcing Clara to move is a part of it
Once things are more secure between the three of them they may move, but not for a while (or even after Morgan is born)
Any way you slice it, Gale and Clara get time to bond before he and Gwen walk down the isle
Clara is a very curious kid and the type come home with whatever frogs or cool sticks she found, her boots caked in mud and twigs in her hair
Gale absolutely encourages her and gives her books on essentially any subject she's even mildly interested in
Gwen has walked in more than once to the pair of them info dumping to each other in a continuous loop until interrupted by dinner and even then food won't stop Clara
Teachers quickly discovered that calling in Gale when Clara lands herself in trouble is also a very bad idea
Gale: I expressed an opinion. Clara is a very curious young girl and I don’t think it’s too much to ask a teacher to encourage that curiosity. Teacher: She also happened to be in grade six and certain questions are inappropriate for such a setting. Gale: The subject of undead, although taboo, is still a valid school of study if one approaches it with care. Teacher: Asking how long it takes for a body to rot to the point it can no longer be resurrected is not something an eleven year old should be asking!
Experiments in the kitchen! (with proper safety equipment of course)
Gale learning how to do Clara's hair because Gwen can't always be there to do it
Gale telling stories and illustrating them with minor illusions so sometimes Clara ends up more hyped up at bedtime than she should be
Even when she gets too old for bedtime stories, she slips into Morgan's room to listen to her dad
Also Gale totally gets a dad bod the longer he settles into domesticity and nobody (especially Gwen) is complaining about it
Honestly the first word Clara and Morgan think of when describing their dad is soft
For all his wizard prowess and verbosity, what he is first to them is their dad; the person with the soothing voice, kind eyes and comforting hugs
Morgan especially when she's little just clings to him
She seems to like his voice and he even sings to her on occasion; nothing concert worthy, but some broken lullaby his mother used to sing to him
Honestly now having children of his own, he has a new appreciating for both Gwen and his mother doing all this on their own
But back to Morgan for a moment; Gale is absolutely the type of person to have a full on conversation with a baby and respond to every babble with "yes you make an excellent point"
She end up with a very extensive vocabulary for a toddler
Gale can't wait until she can hold a proper conversation, if there is one thing Gale loves, it's talking to his kids
There's a moment where he’s in bed with Gwen and the girls sleeping between them, and he takes a moment to just soak it all in. It’s so much more than he thought his life would have been.
Even before the orb, he spent so much time chasing after his own ambition.
When Mystra came to him, he still wanted more, willing to abandon the material plane entirely, and for what? To sit at the feet of a goddess who could never truly care for him? To become a god himself? He’s almost ashamed at himself for ever wishing for those things in the first place. For wishing he could be something so cold and distant all for the sake of a power he could claim no use for except to prove that he could.
Morgan curls herself a little closer to him while Clara takes up the center of the bed, her still growing limbs just as tangled as her hair. He lets out a soft chuckle, giving Morgan a reassuring rub on her back and she settles back down. Gwen is just as much a mess as Clara. He can just spit a little bit of drool coming out of her mouth. Still she manages to keep an arm across her eldest, keeping her close even in sleep.
How could any power be worth more than this? What higher purpose could he have than to make sure his family is safe and loved?
I've got more stuff about Gale being a dad if you're curious (and Astarion being an uncle). Send me an ask if you want to read more! I've got a ton of stuff!

Sagau: A god's closure + world building
World building, possibly, it's here if I need it
Characters: Hu Tao
This came about from a journey to the "border" with Hu Tao. As an immortal being who grew up as a mortal, your own mortality, or lack thereof, began to weigh on you. When you finally reached your destination, you and Hu Tao were surprised to find a massive gate where you distinctly remember there wasn't one, and in front of it stood a hulking being which resembled an Anubis.
"Anubis": Ah, your grace. To what does this watcher of souls owe your visit? Ah, but forgive me, your memory is not fully intact, so I imagine you must have many questions.
Warden: I am a being known as a "Warden" as I am a protector of the kind and good willed souls that pass through here, while making sure the evil spirits remain trapped in their prison. This gate you see is the gate to the after life. You may note that it was not here upon your last visit, both it and I were revealed by your desire and divine power. Now may I ask, what is your desire?
You shake yourself from your shocked state and state the purpose of your journey.
(Y/N): I-I wish to know, can I visit my friends once they're "gone"? I may be immortal, but I was raised as a mortal, so bonds come to me much easier than they do the archons and other immortal beings.
Warden: I see. Well, to answer your question, yes, you may visit the afterlife whenever you like .
You breathe a sigh of relief as the weight that had been on you the entire journey here finally lifted.
Hu Tao: Oooh, hey, big fella, would you mind describing the afterlife a bit? I'm just "dying" to know more about it.
(Y/N): I'm also rather curious.
Warden: Very well. The afterlife has gone by many names, you may choose to call it whichever you like, but it serves as both paradise and prison. You may recall I said I am "a" warden, there many more of my kin beyond this gate. This place was made by you in your past life to be a paradise to all, and that meant making it a prison for others, and I must say your past self understood mortals well, as there are many aspects to this ever expanding plane. First, I should explain that this gate's destination changes depending on your soul. Good and neutral souls enter a serenity inducing room where servants attempt to lift the weight of their past life, and just beside that is a therapy center as some spirits are more tormented than others. Meanwhile, evil souls are brought straight to the prison, where they are kept until further notice.
(Y/N): Sorry to interrupt, but what is a neutral soul?
Warden: Hmm. I suppose you would say they are those who mind their business, or perhaps they are broken souls who could have done more if life had provided better circumstances. In short, while these souls are not "good" by some standards, they hold no malice within then. Thus, they are neutral. Pranksters, such as your guide here, are also labeled under this category, while good at heart, they are still trouble makers disturbing the peace and thus require disciplinary action should their pranks get out of hand.
You nod and smile in acceptance to this answer, feeling relieved for all of the broken people you've heard of. Hu Tao kind of huffed as if she thought he was describing her.
Warden: On the note of broken souls, there is also a rehabilitation wing of the prison per your command. In your words, "Evil is a disease. Those who are born with it may be beyond saving, but those infected by it are curable with proper treatment." So far, these words have proven true. Many a Rotten soul has been cleansed of malice and given freedom from their torment. Speaking of the prison, the only other thing of note is that it is ever changing in size to house the ever changing number of inmates, but this is true of all aspects of this realm. Now, onto the more pleasant aspects of the afterlife. As stated before, your past self understood mortals well and constructed many districts, with the souls making new ones with each generation. The first is the obvious housing district where the souls live or rather have more personal family time as, if you wish to be technical, no one "lives" here.
You and Hu Tao chuckle a little at his little joke.
Warden: Second, there are the working districts as, surprisingly, many souls find satisfaction in hard work. These souls do jobs such as farming, cooking, many different types of artistry, engineering, construction, smithing, and sales despite there not being a currency here. These districts include the market, the entertainment district where concerts and plays are held, the foundry where all metal is worked into a new shape where it is promptly sent to either the workshop where it is used as machine parts, or the ones made into weapons will be sent to the coloseum where the souls who yearn for battle can relive their glory and have crowds of adoring fans cheer them on for it, and then there are the self explanatory farmlands and restaurants.
(Y/N): That's, um, a lot.
Warden: Quite, and there's still more. There are also the springs and gardens for those seeking a moment of peace, the banquet hall often used by the warrior spirits after a thrilling match as they revel in each other's glory, then there is the central plaza which the souls have taken to calling Festival Street as all of the realms festivities are held there, the archives where those who seek to learn can go to hone their craft. Also, since many people seem to ask, yes, the souls of animals are sent to paradise as, while a lot of animals do kill, it is most often during a hunt or defense, and they are not all malicious. Pets will often wait outside this gate for their owner or one of them if they had multiple, wild and farm animals are led to separate biomes that are suited to them. These biomes are also popular spots to take a trip. Ahem, sorry, I'm just so used to being interrupted by that question that going so long without answering it felt weird. Anyway, back on topic, there is also the museum, along with the archives it is used to preserve the truth of this world's history, not the glorified mess they teach in schools. There are many more human desires that I can list districts and buildings for, but I feel you and your friend would like to make it home before the end of the season, so this will be the last of what I say provided you don't have anymore questions. It may not surprise you that many of the souls within this realm are quite religious, so much so that there is a statue of you, er, your former self in the central plaza, with many smaller shrines to you and other deities scattered throughout the numerous districts.
Hu Tao thanks the warden before turning to leave.
(Y/N): Just one more question, I promise this will be quick. As I've stated before, immotality can be costly on one's soul. This holds true even to those born with it. My question is, would I be able to give others the ability to visit?
Warden: If that is what you desire. I take it this means I will be seeing a few of the archons soon?
You nod and thank him for his time before finally leaving with an extra spring in your step. Once outside, Hu Tao stretches rather loudly.
Hu Tao: Mmmmh. Man, that took forever, but I think we both got something out of that. You got peace of mind and i got a new appreciation for my work.
(Y/N): A "new" appreciation? You enjoyed your work well enough before, I dread to think of what you'll do now.
Hu Tao: Oh you. Don't some archons to visit?
(Y/N): Maybe later, we were in there for quite a while, and all that listening made me rather hungry.
Hu Tao was about to comment before her stomach growled, causing you both to laugh as you made your way back to the harbor.
___________________________________________
Well, that was a massive info dump, definitely longer than I anticipated. I haven't seen anyone tackle the subject of the reader's lack of mortality, and the idea of a creator who can willingly traverse both the realms of living and dead has been rotting my brain, I also wanted the ability to give the archons a bit of closure, at least the ones who lost someone dear to them. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed that rather lengthy info dump

Ask game for Chase?
The pupper ever!! Also two other people asked for Chase while I was already working on it XD I'm sorry it's taking me literally days to get them all done, I'm having trouble to think properly on what to say for some stuff in these
My first impression - I'm not tanking this. His car is blue and white, he's a cop and HIS NAME IS CHASE. HMMMM WHERE HAVE I SEEN THIS BEFORE, OH I WONDER--
My impression now - He's precious. No, really. A+ for effort in everything he does but he should learn to relax a little more, just a liiiiiiiittle more
Favorite thing about that character - He's always willing to try new things out of his comfort zone and he always gives it his best, plus his loyalty levels are off the charts
Least favorite thing - He's too much of a people pleaser Istg-- Chase, sweetheart, you're supposed to be a figure of authority XD And this will sound like a dumb thing to dislike but I dislike the fact he's a German Shepherd. I think it's too obvious a breed for police dogs and he doesn't LOOK like one at all for me. When I first saw him without his gear, I was like "Wait is he a Belgian Malinois??? Omg please yes that would be cool to not have a German Shepherd as a Police Dog for ONCE" but yeah my dreams were crushed quickly on my first Google Search on him
Favorite line/scene - It's not specifically the line, but mostly the scene: Have you EVER seen Chase refuse a job or go against Ryder???
I know he ended up changing his mind after that talk with Ryder, but IN THIS MOMENT, he stood his ground and said NO. It's even in his body language: His ears are slightly back, his expression is serious like "don't even try arguing with me on this", his tail isn't relaxed, his paw stomping on the floor to make his point. Notice his frown even deepens as the elevator door closes just before it goes down. This is SO IMPORTANT to me you have no idea, especially considering how much of a people pleaser Chase is and how he holds Ryder as the most important person in his life. We know Chase would do anything for Ryder. But at this exact moment? He was decided to NOT do something for Ryder. This is such a powerful, yet overlooked and underrated scene, as well as character development. It encapsulates perfectly how there's so much more to Chase than any of us knew so far.
Favorite interaction that character has with another - Mighty Movie Skase moment #2 (I think? I counted at least 4 big moments) when Chase goes to check on Skye when she was sulking on the back of the Aircraft Carrier. Her problems there are totally out of his league, he literally cannot relate to anything she's currently going or went through in the past- still he tries to show support the only way he can at the moment, by being there for her, by listening to her. He's a keeper, Skye, go for it XD
A character that I wish that character would interact with more - Marshall and Zuma. They used to play a lot before, but now...? I'm still at the 8th season and I'm seriously missing those fun and slice of life moments
Another character from another fandom that reminds me of that character - Leonardo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, specifically 2012 series
A headcanon about that character - I think Chase was one of those kind of puppies who just didn't know when to fucking STOP. 24/7 playful baby. Also a natural explorer, always sniffing everything, licking everything, maybe biting, touching, scratching, growling, barking at anything new for a while. Ever curious, always being the puppy to go ahead of the others, "exploring the waters to open the way and make sure it's safe for the others to come after him". On a second note, I've seen one too many people returning adopted puppies for this reason here where I live, because "they're a handful and I wasn't expecting this" 🤦🏽♀️
A song that reminds of that character - "Nothing Can Stop Me Now"
An unpopular opinion about that character - Idk why all the hate, even if you're ACAB, it's not like Chase even does a cop job at all XD Have you seen him arresting someone outside from movie verse? If anything, you'd WANT your cops to be like him LMAO
Favorite picture - Y'know how in the first movie Chase was in absolute awe when he saw his new car for the very first time? YEAH, like, he KNOWS Ryder designs and gets them crazy cool stuff, and it doesn't stop him from getting UTTERLY AMAZED every time. Tbh I had the same reaction as them all when I saw that sick af Mustang-looking police cruiser like HOLY SHIT YOU GET THE COOLEST TOYS-- AND YOU GET TO CATAPULT THEM DOWN THE HOT WHEELS RAMP AT TOP SPEED TOO??? Win for life.

Amphibia's Ending is SOOOO Much Better Than People Made Me Believe
So I remember back in S2 when I watched "A Day at the Aquarium" expecting to be upset about the finale like a lot of the people I'd followed were when the finale came out. After all, with them being so close, why would they choose to leave? Could they really justify them just dropping the stones and moving on from these bonds they made?
And... That's what the story wants right then. But it was an assumption built off of false impressions that I want to talk about because the ending is REALLY smart in making its points. But to talk about an ending, I feel like I should bring up its beginning. This isn't always necessary but Amphibia actually includes what is effectively a primordial sin. A first failing that causes everything to happen.
A scared girl who is told that change is coming and that she must give up those she is closest to finds out that with some magic, she can make it all go away.
NEVER is this portrayed as having been the right thing to do. NEVER is the show about justifying Marcy's decision. Instead, the show's entire purpose... Is about letting go. It's about how the experiences we keep from others are more important than keeping those people beside us. Otherwise, controlling people, forcing them to be like you, the goals of Sasha and the Core, would be painted as correct. Chances to be together forever, doing whatever they want and never having to change.
So it ending with the trio having to say goodbye to the connections they've made is kind of the only way it COULD have ended. First is the fact that neither Sasha or Marcy would have accepted Anne dying at the start of the series. Anne would never have been willing to take such responsibility or sacrifice. She wouldn't have been willing to embrace such a painful change, just like how early on in the series she rejected the frogs and their culture outright.
And here is where we get my first misconception. I thought Anne was straight up given her second life for her deeds or because she made a deal that she'd be willing to be god if allowed to live her life. This is as much on me as anyone else but can we talk about the brilliance of Anne's resurrection? She's only saved to become a god. Theoretically, turning down the position is choosing to die again. It doubles down on how Anne has accepted change, no matter how dire. She even has good reason because like the Core said "Full of heart but dumb as rocks." She's made PLENTY of mistakes in this season, even as we've gotten to enjoy what a resplendent person she's grown up as. The fact that she's willing to admit that is beautiful, especially for any coming of age story.
And it's a good argument. One full of the sort of wisdom a god needs. So this bored cat of a god likes it. Likes it enough that without giving Anne a choice decides to let her get some more training before coming back to work for him. It's keeping in line with the explanation that he gave for the stones. He was CURIOUS about what mortals would do with ultimate power and was disappointed for TEN. THOUSAND. YEARS.
And here we get misconception two which I think is much more on the fandom. No one DECIDES to put the stones away. No one decides to cut off the worlds from each other. Hell, on the human side of things, one could argue that it's not closed, they just need a better power source since the music box just uses, well, music. No, the stones are gone because someone more powerful than them is tired of their trouble and removed them.
And so we're right back where we began. Having to be told to say goodbye and that you don't have the time to do it how you might. Yes, they technically have a choice to stay but let's actually talk about if any of them actually have a reason to want to be there.
ALL of the newts have only ever used Marcy (even when Yunan and Olivia save her, it's explicitly because of her mind, not because it's the right thing to do) and it took until she was STABBED for any of them to actually care about her with even basic humanity. This is not her world. And yes, her parents will force her to leave things behind but A: At least they were honest with her! And B:... Running from that choice hurt so many people before. Why would she choose that now? Why would she choose to suddenly claim to have learned nothing and considered herself right to have stranded them all there by stranding herself now?
Sasha may have made great connections but the point for her character is to give up control and prestige. She could live in this land as a hero and general, leading how things will be shaped, potentially in her image even... And it doesn't even cross her mind. She probably knows she has a lot to set right back on Earth. Besides, you know, there's just the basic fact that being literally the only human here would be a bit of an existential problem. It would still would also mean running away from finishing the work she needs to put in to become a better friend and mend the rifts between her, Anne and Marcy (I'll get to the ten year gap, bear with me).
And finally Anne. She has her parents to go back to. She does still prefer life on Earth, even if she came to love Amphibia. Hell, the fact that she does clearly prefer Earth, as showcased in S3A, actually makes her sacrifice MORE impactful because she's not doing this just because it's her home. She's doing it because she cares and because of the connections she's made.
But just like she was with the core, she is brave enough to say goodbye. Just because someone isn't right next to you doesn't mean they've left you. Honestly, in an age of constant communication, I love that. A reminder that you can take your time. You don't have to talk every day, do things together constantly, etc. like that just because you can. You are still your own person with your own life but you can carry the support and love those people gave/give you even when you're not face to face.
And so rather than run from change, they admit it's painful, they cry, they celebrate, they joke... And then they're gone. There is literally no better ending for this story than that.
It even follows through with the epilogue. Marcy, Anne and Sasha were codependent. S3 actually reinforces a lot that their negative traits are still there, or have new ones related to each other, even as they've grown. Anne still can't say no to people she cares about like with Sprig's Birthday and Give a Frog a Cookie. She still can't entirely trust that Sasha isn't self serving like in Sasha's Angels. She has scars that will take time to heal and change, just like she pointed out to Marcy in New Wartwood.
Sasha though has a whole NEW heap of issues though. She's gone from being controlling to subservient. Anne says jump, she'd say off what. She is terrified of making the same mistakes twice. She is constantly trying to seek forgiveness. That is NOT a healthy place to be as a person and it's almost entirely wrapped up around Anne. Them deciding they were okay with just staying in touch, rather than being on top of each other... is actually great.
Marcy doesn't have as much to say but she moved... And she figured out how to handle the human realm like she did Amphibia: Alone. Who she was and how to be herself rather than relying on Sasha and Anne or needing them.
But was ten years necessary? I mean... Kind of actually. If Anne STARTS the series turning thirteen, she still has this school year and 5 more to finish for primary school. Then since at least two of them sought degrees, you have four more years where Sasha and Anne might not have even been in the same state, let alone the same town, and Marcy MOVED. She literally couldn't come back unless the fates decreed until she was 18 and she might have chosen to persue an artistic degree so there's another 4 years for her.
Then one year after college to settle in, get the money for trips, etc. like that and... Yeah, ten years sounds about right because life's a bitch. Almost like that's one of the lessons of Amphibia. But as it also says: Those bad times don't need to be only bad. You never know what will come back to find you and be better than it ever was.
So yeah, I'm definitely not just in the camp that the Amphibia ending is good but that it almost couldn't be improved. Small things, mostly pacing wise, maybe but thematically and how it does those beats? Not really. Not when this is so focused on one goal.
And I'll take dedication to your concept over giving the audience a simple, happily ever after ANY day.

Your local barista / Part 2
Larissa Weems x fem reader fanfiction
You´re a barista working at Weathervane. A tall blonde, beautiful woman comes in from time to time to get a coffee and talk to you. She seems nice at first but after a while you find yourself wondering if you could become more than friends?
I was inspired a little by the game "coffee talk". Please enjoy!
Link to the following chapter is at the bottom.
Warnings: none
The next day Larissa arrived at the cafe again. As usual early in the morning, when no one was there. You had a nice chat, she seemed way calmer than the day before, and then she left. Because Larissa came in at the mornings, they were always your favourite part. You then worked through your shift and afterwards sat down at a table and did some work for uni. You were only working as a barista half-time to pay for school and you lived in Jericho because it was very cheap compared to the city your uni was located in. You drank a coffee, finished an assignment and left the cafe. As you did you saw Larissa again. This time she was talking to the major. They were standing a few meters down the road. You looked at Larissa because how couldn´t you? Just as you decided to turn around and walk home someone called your name.
"Y/n!" You turned your head back to Larissa who was walking towards you with a big smile on her lips. Due to her beautiful long legs she reached you in no time. You felt your ears getting hot. "Were you still working? I thought you were off around 2 or 3?" You smelled her scent. It was bloomy, yet fresh with a hint of vanilla. She continued smiling at you. "Uh, yeah. No. I mean... I didn’t work. I finished at 2 but I did some stuff for uni." You were suprised by the fact she remebered that information about you. Just act normal, you thought to yourself. "I had to finish an assignment. Nothing special." You shrugged your shoulders. "Oh, I didn´t know you were going to uni! What are you studying?" "Athletics and English Literature. I want to become a teacher you know?" Larissa raised an eyebrow. "A teacher huh? Once you´re finished you could start working at Nevermore." She laughed but in her eyes was a hint of seriousness. "Well, why not? If you pay well." You winked at her, though you felt getting a little hot. "Oh, trust me. I do pay well." She winked back at you. For a few seconds you were both standing in front of each other. You looking up to her, she looking down at you. You both had cheekish smiles on your faces before you looked at the ground and Larissa started talking. "Are you heading home?" "Yes. I´m about to. I want to go to the gym and get to bed early. I´m really tired." Go to bed early? How old are you? 70? "I understand. Where do you live? I could give you a ride home." Larissa looked at you with a mixture of kindness and concern. You couldn´t tell why she was concerned but she definitely was. "Oh, that´s so nice of you! But I don´t want to cause any trouble. I could just walk-" You have never met up privatley and even though all you wanted was to be alone with this goddess, you didn´t want her to feel uncomfortable around you. Maybe she just wanted to be kind and not actually take you home? God, you really needed to stop overthinking so much. "No! You wouldn´t- I want- It would be a pleasure to take you home." Larissa blushed. The woman who was so confident, sexy and strong-willed seemed to be so vulnerable and insecure all of the sudden. You wanted to hug her, ask her what was wrong and make her feel good about herself. But you didn’t. Instead you smiled at her. "Alright then. Sounds good to me!" Larissa seemed relieved and nodded. "Ok. My car is right around the corner."
You got into her car, told her where you lived and drove off. It was only a ten minute drive since you didn´t live far away from the cafe. "How come you live in a town like Jericho? Young people usally look out for big cities and parties, when they go to uni." Larissa seemed to be very curious about you. You weren´t able to remeber the last time someone seemed to actually be interested in you. "Well, I´m not really into partying. Sometimes it´s nice but often I´m just overwhelmed or bored. And Jericho is nice. It´s cheap, it´s pretty and the people living here are really great." You gave Larissa a soft smile. "Since I live alone I had to look for a place that wasn´t too expensive. And I´m quite happy with it." "I assume you don´t live near your parents anymore?" Larissa looked at the street while talking to you. She really just wanted to have a nice conversation, which you greatly appreciated. "No, I don’t. It´s not like we hate each other or something like that. I just... wanted to get away from my hometown and the people living there. They´ve all seen me grow up. Though they still see me as my younger, confused, sad self. I´ve developed so much over the last years but I feel like people ignore that. I needed a fresh start." You both remained silent for a minute. You pressed your head against the cold window as you watched the trees fly by. "Sorry. That was a lot. And very personal." "No, Love. Don’t apologize for that!" Love. She just called you love. She has never done that before. You slightly turned your head to look at her. Larissa was still looking at the road but this time with a slightly sad look on her face. "I know exactly how you feel." She talked very quietly. "Eventhough Nevermore is a school made for outcasts I still felt very lonely being myself. I felt like an outcast at a school of outcasts." She almost whispered now. You couldn´t help but feel sorry for the woman next to you. In the past you have talked a lot about your lifes but only the good things. You knew shapeshifters were rare and of course you recognized Larissas outstanding features. But you couldn´t imagine someone hating those parts of her. The parts you loved so much. "Larissa..." You reached out one hand and stroked her arm softly. "I´m so sorry." Larissa looked at you with a sad smile. "Don´t be, Love. It´s ok. I´m an adult now and I know, that people don´t hate me anymore. Well, except for a few students of course." She chuckled. "I don´t hate you." You looked at her quite serious now. "In fact I really like you." Larissa looked suprised. Her eyes were soft and she slighty smiled. You couldn´t look away. You were cought in her gaze. You hadn´t even realised you weren´t driving anymore. You already arrived at your home. "I like you too." The hand you´ve had on her arm was now resting on Larissas car seat, right next to her own hand. Your fingers slightly touched. You didn´t know when or how but you sat closer to each other, still keeping eye contact. Her blue eyes were so soft, full of love and at the same time a flame seemed to be burning in them. You could hear her breathe a bit heavier. You wanted to say something but couldn´t. The only thing you could do was looking at her. Taking in her beautiful face, her arousing smell, her red lips. Your heart beat very fast. Larissa stroke with her fingers over the back of your hand. She opened her mouth to say something. "Y/n. Sorry if I´m being inappropriate. But I-" Just then her phone started ringing. You both jumped away from each other. She answered the call and then looked back at you again. "Sorry. That was a teacher from Nevermore. I kinda need to go." You nodded. "Thank you for driving me home. That was very sweet of you." You smiled at her. "Anytime, Darling." Before you shut the door Larissa reached out to you and handed you a folded piece of paper. She winked at you with a smirk on her face. Then she drove off.
At home you took off your shoes, put down your bag and layed on your bed. Your heart was racing. What did just happen? Ever since you´ve met Larissa you had a crush on her. But you always tried to be realistic and never wanted to cross any boundaries. You had nice chats and more than once you even had so much fun you would forget time and she had to rush to Nevermore to still be on time. She always greeted you with a big smile, asked about your feelings, your life, how you´ve been keeping up. You never thought much of it because, in all seriousness, a woman like her probably wouldn´t be into someone like you. Not, that you weren´t smart or at least okayish-looking. But Larissa Weems could have anyone. Then why should she choose you? A student who works as a barista half-time? You didn´t even know about her sexuality. Then again you couldn´t think of anyone who would be able to keep up with a woman like that anyways. But something you knew was, that if she would choose you, you would treat her right. You would treat her the way she deserved it. You had to think about what Isaac said yesterday, that she would have a crush on you too. Was he right? He had some pretty good arguments. And then the car ride today... that really felt special. When you were alone with Larissa, she seemed much more vulnerable and soft. Sure, she was still very confident and sexy. She could make you go down on your knees in no time. But she didn´t seem to be afraid to show emotions when it was just the two of you. That felt very special. Maybe you were something special to her. The same way she was to you...
You put your hand into the pocket of your jeans and grabbed the paper Larissa gave you. Looking at it immediatly took you back to the moment in the car when the two of you were so close it almost felt like you would kiss anytime. "I like you too." You heard her voice say. A shiver ran down your spine. You felt your heart going crazy as you unfolded the paper and read the note. We should talk more often. Let´s do this again. xx Larissa. Beneath was a phone number. Her phone number.

for the ask game, are you willing to answer 🍓 and 🍒 for your main queerfolk characters...? or its that too many? im curious about them!!
Yes of course!!! Thank you for being curious about them!!
Beliefs?
Adrien: Not really. He’s just never been a particularly religious man in any way and doesn’t give the concept much thought. Whether or not some higher being exists just quite simply doesn’t matter to him. He’s too busy being alive to care about something that’s otherwise never affected him.
Sheep: If they’re going to “believe” in anything, they believe in the universe. In nature. There isn’t a god to them, just the capacity for life. The humble and respectful knowledge that they're only alive because things happened to line up so perfectly during the creation of Everything in space.
Ramsie: No. In fact he’d go so far as to say he detests the idea of any sort of religion. He’s been hurt by it far too many times, seen other people get hurt by it far too many times. If people want something to believe in, he thinks they should believe in the world. Do something about it now, instead of waiting on a prayer.
Mandy: No. His mindset about it is similar to Adrien’s and Sheep’s, a sort of mixture of both. He marvels sometimes about life and the impossible circumstances, but then moves on. This is the only chance he’s got at this, and there’s only one earth, so he’s going to enjoy it fully and presently without thinking about it too much. It doesn’t benefit him much to philosophize about it, or about anything at all, really.
Lionel: No. And if he did, he’d think whatever god it was is doing a terrible job at it. He’d probably get kicked out of the church for blasphemy, saying that he could easily do a better job at all of this and that he’ll just make his own religion. He doesn’t take anything seriously, including life. It’s just one moment after another to him. A day by day sort of thing. Whatever happens, he knows it’ll pass eventually.
2. Best Friends?
Adrien: Definitely! He’s close friends with everyone in town, but he’s especially close with Lionel. Their attitudes are similar, and they get up to idiotic escapades together often. They also swap gossip frequently, although Adrien mostly just likes listening to the stories Lionel has to tell.
Sheep: They like all of their friends equally. They’re close with everyone in their own unique way, adjusting themselves depending on who’s wanting their attention and why. Everyone’s his favorite at all times.
Ramsie: He’s friendly with everyone, mainly, but definitely prefers the company of Mandy and Sheep. He knows he’s a bit of a troubled person, and they’re the ones who understand and care for him the most. His relationship with Adrien is tense. There’s just something about that man that gets on his nerves, and they bicker a lot. They do care for each other, though, in the end.
Mandy: He sees everyone as family, and treats them just the same. But he and Sheep have a tradition of sorts, staying up late to talk in private with each other. Intimate conversations, vulnerable ones, ones he’s only really had with Ramsie. It’s a natural inclination, rather than it having anything to do with “favorites”.
Lionel: Yes! Like Adrien he likes and is close with everyone, but the former is his best friend. They’re an annoying and loud tag team inexplicably bonded at the hip.
