Silas seemed excited the moment he heard Rue wouldn't mind listening to him, no one ever wanted to listen to him... but his smile quickly faded into a confused expression.

"What... does... that mean...?" His eyes shifted around while he tried to understand, did he say something wrong? He wasn't completely sure what she meant, but whatever it was it didn't seem very good. He couldn't help but notice her reaching towards her bag. In response, he let out a soft and low growl.

Teeth bared, Silas nervously backed away from her. Despite the sudden aggression he looked more scared than anything.

The tiny fox loudly began to ramble, it seemed like he was reciting off some type of script. Almost as if this was information he was fed and told to say when faced with questions. Eventually, he just ducked down with a whimper and began another attempt to hide himself.

"I do not want to get hurt again! Please do not tell!"

i appreciate that in the boba fett expanded universe canon, we have multiple moments from multiple authors that boil down to "despite his reputation/appearance, boba fett is not fearless, and is in fact doing his level best right now to walk calmly away from this objectively terrifying situation rather than breaking into a fucking sprint in the opposite direction"

The part of the Silm they don’t want you to know about: Melkor’s horrible, awful, no-good pickup lines.

Brought to you by a tiktok where this guy was talking abt a girl he was seeing and how every time they had sex she’d give him a little treat afterwards (like a lil candy bar)

Like it starts when you jokingly toss Johnny one of the chocolates you had sitting on your nightstand after he ate you out like his life depended on it- he eats the candy immediately obviously as he laughs

Then you end up with a little candy dish on the nightstand, or in the drawer, any time you and Johnny have sex you give him a piece of candy, throw him a bone so to speak. Not on purpose but you think it’s cute- the way his face lights up when given the candy

You find yourself fucking somewhere in the house that isn’t the bedroom? Johnnys right behind you as you make your way to your shared room for his treat, not even realizing he’s doing it.

Whether you forget on purpose or on accident one day he just kinda stands in the kitchen like a kicked puppy and, “didn’t do somethin’ to upset ya did I hen?” His head tilted to the side slightly.

“What? No- what do you mean?” You are genuinely confused until he mumbles a “didn’t get my treat- ya know-“

You have to stop yourself from laughing as you ruffle his slightly overgrown mohawk before you’re off to the bedroom to toss him his little candy.

Honorable mention: I’d like to think Johnnys somehow ended up explaining this to the others, maybe just Ghost at first. And Ghost immediately understands it and is thankful his smile is covered by his balaclava- leave it to Johnny to get himself trained like a good dog

Basically what im trying to say is doing this to Soap would have him so down bad I think

AFTERNOON AT A CAT CAFE 14 days of cupid's arrow ✧ day four ✧ tartaglia x zebra

sweet treats and sweeter laughter, golden afternoon sun, soft fur and cozy cuddles, not-so-secretly snapped photos, dozens of sleepy cats, sharing spoonfuls of dessert, kisses stolen outside to end the date.

tartaglia: enjoying the view?

zebra: yes, the cat has very pretty eyes. i wasn't looking at you at all!

tartaglia: why don't you show me the last photo you took, hm?

zebra: nonono, that's for my eyes only– give it back, ajax!

tartaglia: aww, no need to be so flustered, pretty girl. i took some photos of you too; i was just better about not getting caught.

this fic contains spoilers for the ending of FoF >_<

Notes:

post-canon, taking some liberties with their abilities

Aged up Bai Jiu, he's about 20 in this

can be read as platonic or shippy

It is well known amongst the townsfolk of Sinan Village that there are two mountain gods that inhabited Mount Kunlun.

Rather, the second deity was not truly a mountain god– his real form was that of a cypress tree– but he'd been the one to listen to their prayers and answer to the best of his abilities before mountain god Ying Lei returned, and so they worshipped him as such.

—

(half a century ago)

“Bai Jiu shanshen, are you not cold? You've been sitting here every day!” The little tree spirit says, materialising to sit next to Bai Jiu, unable to stay silent any longer.

They had been watching over this lonely mountain god day after day, witnessing him take his usual spot on the gate to Kunlun mountain every morning, and would secretly anticipate the arrival of whoever Bai Jiu shanshen was waiting for, only to be similarly disappointed when no one turned up.

Just who was so important that Bai Jiu shanshen would wait for them so patiently and without complaint?

(Even most demons knew now just where to visit, if they had grievous injuries that needed looking after).

“Don't call me that, I don't deserve the title,” Bai Jiu shanshen says quietly. “The actual mountain gods are Luwu daren and Ying Lei.”

Ying Lei? They had never heard of a mountain god named Ying Lei. Luwu shanshen, they knew. He was wise and kind, and always entertained their endless questions with a jovial smile.

But the tree spirit nods, anyway, acquiescing. Bai Jiu daren was older than them, so he would know more about the older mountain gods. “Then, Bai Jiu daren, who are you waiting for? I'll wait with you!”

“I'm waiting for a friend. My best friend.”

—

As always, it is when he isn't paying attention that these yaos choose to sneak up on him.

Bai Jiu reaches for the plum, marvelling at how much easier it is to pick the fruit now, as compared to when he was younger, where his limbs were too short to properly reach the branch.

They aren't quite ripe enough yet, he decides, and is about to climb back down the tree when–

“Who's there?”

No. It can't be. His foot slips, and he goes down with a yelp, landing in the soft snow in an awkward mess of limbs.

“Boy! Are you alright?” Ying Lei asks– it is Ying Lei, alright, with his nest of yellow hair and all too innocent eyes peering down at him.

Bai Jiu snorts. “At least you got my gender right this time.”

“Xiaojiu?” Ying Lei’s brows furrow in confusion. “You're not Bai Jiu, he's not this big! Confess now, who sent you to impersonate him? What are you doing on Mount Kunlun?”

“Silly mountain god, nearly a hundred years have passed, how could I not have grown up?” Bai Jiu argues, slowly picking himself off the ground. “If you need proof, then. You died to separate Li Lun from my body, even though you were scared of going into the afterlife alone and leaving us behind.”

Ying Lei pauses, lowering the branch he'd snatched up as a makeshift weapon as he follows Bai Jiu into the mountain god temple.

“A hundred years?”

Bai Jiu nods. Not quite, but almost.

“Then, you–”

“I'm part demon, part human and part deity, remember?” Bai Jiu says. He doesn't quite know how it works either, only that he still looked like someone in his twenties, according to Wen jiejie.

“No, I mean, you've been waiting here?”

“What else would I be doing?” Bai Jiu replies, pausing in the middle of the room he'd claimed as his in the last few decades.

Only that now, seeing Ying Lei again has made him nervous, uncertain about his decision. He had gotten Lord Luwu’s approval to stay here, but he doesn't know what Ying Lei would think of it– for him to stay in the mountain god temple on the assumption that Ying Lei wouldn't mind– was it overstepping?

“You could've been travelling the jianghu, becoming the best miracle doctor of your time, meeting new people, anything other than staying here in this lonely and cold place!” Ying Lei says, a hint of frustration colouring his tone as he takes in the shelves of medicinal herbs and pills Bai Jiu had amassed over the years.

“But I wanted to stay here,” Bai Jiu replies, pulling Ying Lei into a hug, as he'd imagined doing over the years.

(He'd felt it, the warmth of Ying Lei’s hug as he held his body after Zhuo daren’s sword pierced through his stomach.

How he'd refused to let him go afterwards, knowing that he would dissipate soon).

“Who else would welcome you back, if I wasn't here?” Bai Jiu says, burying his face into Ying Lei’s shoulder.

It was strange, how he was now at the right height to do that, when he'd barely reached Ying Lei’s shoulder the last time they met.

Ying Lei returns the hug, a solid, reassuring, and warm weight against him as he pats Bai Jiu reassuringly. “I'm back, Xiaojiu. I'm back.”

—

Extra:

“Bai Jiu daren, why does that yao have your hair ornaments?” The tree spirit exclaims, gesturing to Ying Lei circling the huge cypress tree in the yard.

The furballs, the tree spirit meant. Bai Jiu had started weaving them into his own braids alongside his bells after Ying Lei’s passing, his own sort of way to remember him by.

(Who else would remember Ying Lei, if not him?)

“They were never mine to begin with,” he says softly, watching Ying Lei reacquaint himself with his home, his heart warming to see those hair ornaments back in their rightful place. “They belonged to my best friend.”

“Your best friend?” The tree spirit echoes, lost. “Oh! That yao is who you were waiting for!”

Bai Jiu nods in agreement. Though–

“He's not a yaoguai, he's Ying Lei shanshen, and my best friend.”

hey do you think the Crows control the mage circles in Antiva too, in some way? do you think the heads of Houses get handed the phylacteries of their mage members? do they bring in trainers from the Circles, or send them to classes in the towers, or do they have to wait for a mage to "graduate" before they can recruit them into a House properly? or are mages who are taken by the Crows just quietly ignored until the phylactery needs to be used?

[angst-is-love-angst-is-life]

Ok but what if I made it worse. I didn’t think it could get much worse but actually it CAN and I now I would like the worse to commence

so we suspect one of our dogs grew up abused which is. a terrible way to start this. but we've had her for five or six years now and she still retains a lot of her habits but its very cute to see how our love for her has changed her. youll see her all curled up tail tucked in ears flat as you approach but shes making these tiny little tail wags anyway.

[lux-astrorum]

[sparkleyiff]

Not sure if I'll be doing anything more for artfight this year I am. suffering. sorry :(

[garrettwrites]

I see so many posts about cats being dumb that I honestly question if the countless cats I've been around my whole life are/were real or not. I've only ever met one dumb cat. Every single other one would win at chess if their far superior brain, geared towards bigger achievements, could spare time to comprehend the rules.

[beatheprincess]

I do get into these "moods" where I feel unattractive/unloved n then wallow in self pity and fall into bd again :[ then I'm hard on myself again because why am I doing this to myself?? So back n forth, I'm so worthy of love but I swear the world is so triggering sigh including myself
