#. I HAVE THE POWER OF GOD AND ANIME ON MY SIDE ── / OOC. ❞

[sirmariusrenathyr]

*bites you in spite of the Anon who told on us*

OW- STOP BITING ME!

I have a taser and Lethica for a reason!

[honeycreammilkshake]

there will be cake.

i finally finished my first fic, and it's greenflame! it takes place between possession and skybound. i spent a few days on it and i'm still not satisfied... it still feels a bit ooc and amateur to me, but please let me know what you think. here it is...

Sitting down for dinner with the other ninja, Kai had no intention of talking about anything serious, let alone marriage, and especially not how he should go about proposing to Lloyd. But picking at his bowl of chili, he looked around to his friends, watching them talk about their day with animated expressions and exaggerated hand gestures, observing Cole and Jay arguing about every detail of their training so they could trade insults while blushing whenever anyone (mostly Zane) pointed out just how closely they'd have to be watching each other to know such minor things about their routines. And when Kai glanced over to his sister she was already glancing his way with an exasperated smirk at Cole and Jay's antics.

The only absent one was Lloyd. The Green Ninja was training late, as usual, pushing himself to his limits. The perfectionism was at first a little annoying for Kai, who tended to take any show of exertion as a competition against him, but overtime he'd learned to accommodate his boyfriend, who was typically late to dinner or outings with the rest of them. The pressure Lloyd must have felt, every single day, to not only lead the rest of them but to also make his pretty much godly ancestors proud of him had been grinding on him even more as of late, and Kai didn't want to add to their young leader's troubles. Still though… after their last battle, almost losing Lloyd to possession had made him keenly aware of how fragile the normalcy of all their lives were.

At any time, they could find themselves under attack once more. Ninajo had a reputation for attracting the most dark-hearted, vengeant, and power-hungry of villains, and Kai had to wonder if there was some kind of sign posted out for all the tyrants coming to seize this particular place. Something massive and neon was advertising how siegable and conquerable this entire land was somewhere, he was sure.

But as a ninja, bound and entangled with all the rest of his team (a fate he would never want reversed or changed in any way), he knew he would lay down his life for any one of his friends if it ever came down to it. And, naturally, he knew in his heart that no matter how much he teased or gave Lloyd trouble, he would stand behind that completely unhinged god-in-training no matter what. Wherever Lloyd led him, he would follow. And it was because of this that he knew he had to make their relationship even more official, even more sacred, so that when villains like Morro or Chen or the rest came knocking again, Kai would know there was still a chance at a normal life, even a small part of it, in their own lives. That he could say that Lloyd was his in more way than one and come back home to that small piece of stability.

Now, watching his friends continue to taunt and push each other, a warm feeling suddenly overtook Kai, not unlike the sensation he got whenever he drank a nice cup of Wu's tea. He felt it blossom inside of him, a hot and protective surge that came whenever he thought of the others, especially Lloyd. He knew he could trust them completely, he could ask anything of them and they wouldn't treat him any differently for it.

So it was without any filter that he found himself asking, "Guys, if I were to hypothetically propose to someone… someone who's very uhm… career-driven and practically all-powerful, how would I go about asking them to do something absolutely ordinary like marriage?"

A small silence briefly overtook the table as the others, except for Cole who was still digging into his plate without interest in anything else, glanced around towards each other. Nya, on Kai's left side, was completely still all of a sudden and opposite him Zane and Jay exchanged looks.

Just as the stillness was starting to become unnerving, Zane, always practical, broke in, "Logically the best way would be to—"

"Oh my gosh, you guys," Jay all but shrieked. "Kai and Lloyd are going to get married!"

"Wait what????" Kai burst out, feeling his cheeks start to heat up. "I didn't say anything about—"

"Oh please," Jay scoffed, rolling his eyes. "You're the fire ninja, Kai, so whatever you're trying to cover up, you still burn holes right through it." He was picking at his bowl of chili delicately, like most of its contents offended him, and by the way he had complained about every other dish Cole had prepared for them, you would think it was genuine. But Kai knew the Blue Ninja would sneak lots of extra helpings of Cole's meals whenever he thought they weren't looking. And seeing as how most of Cole's food was… to put it plainly… bad, Kai knew it was because Jay was simply (and not so secretly) completely crazy for the Earth Master.

"You guys thought it was such a secret, but we could all tell what you were up to," Jay continued, matter of fact, then smirked. "The walls here are really thin, you know."

Kai groaned and buried his face in hands. "Okay," he sighed out. "So what if it is Lloyd?"

"I knew it!" Zane exclaimed from Cole's side, face lighting up. When the others looked to him, he explained, "Pixal told me they have a 95% compatibility rate. Lloyd's sensitivity and high emotional intelligence counterbalances Kai's hotheadedness and temper—"

"Yeah yeah we get it," Kai huffed, feeling called out.

"My vitals monitors indicate that your heart-rate speeds up whenever Lloyd appears," Zane added helpfully. "My data also suggests that Lloyd's libido increases whenever he watches you training."

Beside him, Nya made a choking sound. "Oh my god," she gasped, wiping away dribbles of water from her lips. "Please never say libido again, Zane."

Despite the embarrassment at having his secret relationship exposed so quickly, Kai couldn't help the way that information stroked his ego. All the time that little brat had been claiming to watch so closely to point out errors in Kai's form (as he always did) he was secretly checking Kai out shamelessly. It made him flush with more than a little contentment, but he got a hold of himself quickly, and managed to grit out, "Okay guys, that's enough."

"Where would they even get married though?" Jay pushed on, ignoring Kai entirely.

"Somewhere big enough for all of us," Zane pointed out. "I can compile a list of popular wedding locations and analyze them for suitability."

"No no," Jay dismissed, whipping his spoon around passionately so that a bit of chili hit Kai in the face. He wiped it off with a grimace as Jay continued to lecture Zane. "It should be somewhere perfect for the both of them..." Jay bit down on the handle of his spoon and then grinned widely at Kai. "I know just the place—my parent's junkyard!"

Kai blinked, caught off-guard. "Jay, I'm not marrying Lloyd in a junkyard—"

Across the table, Cole's face finally unfused from his plate long enough for him to shout, "Will there be cake? I'll definitely come if there's cake!"

"Always thinking with your stomach, right Cole?" Jay snarked. But the Earth Master chose to ignore him, much to Jay's disappointment.

As the others continued to conspire Lloyd and Kai's wedding, loudly describing each lavish detail — "Lloyd should wear all red so Kai can wear all green... and there should be dragons!!!" Jay contributed while Zane added, "Kai should put Lloyd in his lap and ride in on one to the ceremony" and Cole piped in, "And there should be triple stacked cake afterwards!" — Kai's ears picked up shuffled movement in the hallway. He sat up straight. Wu and Misako were out getting "vital" supplies like flavored tea and herbal medicines — old people errands — and they weren't expecting anyone else to come calling. It could only be Lloyd.

Getting that sensation he got whenever he was about to be cornered, he felt himself start to panic. "Guys, if you don't shut up now, I swear I'll send every single one of you to the Cursed Realm," Kai hissed out. "I don't even care if we're on the same team — you will all be banished for your crimes. This conversation is over."

But, of course, cause everything and everyone hated Kai, this was the exact conversation Lloyd chose just that moment to walk in on.

With a short glance around to the other ninja, he came into the room and a crushing silence followed as they all tracked him with their eyes. He walked casually, carrying a bowl laden with an excessive amount of Cole's chili (which wasn't that bad but it also wasn't that good either, so Kai felt Lloyd had filled it to the brim subconsciously) and settled down in his usual spot to the right of Kai, slowly lifting his spoon to his lips…. Lips that were twisted up in an unmistakable smirk, the one Kai knew and adored so well, that he loved to bite on — but right now, seeing the way it melted away the usual prim and proper princely beauty of Lloyd's face into the wild rawness of the conceded brat he really was, all Kai could think was Lloyd knows…. He's been listening in on the whole thing!

"What's all this about cake?" Lloyd asked, oh so innocently, as if he didn't know already, and Kai kind of wanted to manhandle him right then and there for being such an unyielding brat.

But before Kai could say or do anything to grab at any sort of control over the conversation, Jay leaned in closer to Lloyd, conspiratorially settling his chin into his cupped hand like he was about to tell the world's greatest secret. With a hauntingly straight face he said, "Only that Kai can't keep his eyes off yours."

… And then everything kind of blew up in Kai's face.

Nya and Zane burst out laughing and Cole let out a bellowing huff before slapping Jay across the back so hard the Blue Ninja's face almost landed in his uneaten bowl of chili (Kai wished with his whole heart that it really had). Jay glared briefly at Cole but then the Master of Earth said, "I guess that's why they call you the Master of Shocks! That was a good one, Jay."

Pure pride swelled the Master of Shocks' chest, making him look just like a puffed up little blue jay — which he technically was… though Kai could barely register the humor of it as sticky hot embarrassment exploded inside of him.

"Oh wow you guys," Nya finally managed to gasp as she held her sides, like she could fall apart from the delicious humiliation of it all. She wiped at her eyes, choking out, "Look at Lloyd's cheeks — they look like cherries!"

Lloyd's mouth was pressed together tightly, and his cheeks were definitely a deep scarlet that Kai took some satisfaction in seeing, but he knew his own cheeks were probably just as red and burning twice as hot.

And of course Jay would point that out. "Guys, check out Kai's face — he's burning up!"

"Oh the irony," Nya giggled.

"Red ninja indeed!" Zane chimed in with a grin that practically spilled off his face. And in that moment, Kai had never been more certain in his life that he was surrounded by traitors. Enemies.

Kai ground his teeth together and finally managed to squeeze out some sort of response. "You're all banished."

The other ninja, minus a cherry-colored Lloyd, started laughing again as Kai sat there, gripping the edge of the table and plotting revenge. Only Cole made any kind of move towards redemption, leaning closer to both Lloyd and Kai to say, "You know we're just teasing you two… We're really happy to see you making things more official. And just so you know, I would love to be there for you, even if there no's cake for me."

"You do know the whole point is so that Kai gets to keep the cake just for himself, don't you?" Jay smirked.

Before Kai could set fire to either himself or Jay, Cole turned to the Blue Ninja and smiled. "Don't worry, sparky, I'll make sure to claim a cake for myself too," he said, and proceeded to reach over so he could grope Jay's ass as the smaller ninja let out a high-pitched squeak.

"Who's the Master of Shock now?" Zane grinned as Jay started choking.

Nya pursed her lips and said, "Really? Right in front of my chili?"

Kai moaned and buried his face in his hands as the entire table descended into chaos. But it died out quickly as Lloyd stood up, his face unreadable, that silken smirk of his erased from his lips. As Kai peeked up at him, he couldn't help but feel… reverent. Lloyd was strong, and fierce, and brave. And more than that… he was the magnet that kept them gravitating to him, to their destiny. Their fates were inexplicably tied to his for the rest of their lives. They all shared a bond deeper than mere friends: they were each other's counterparts and focal points and homes.

And nobody was more at home with Lloyd than Kai.

"Kai," Lloyd began, and Kai felt the air rush out him as soon as Lloyd turned those ember-bright eyes right on his face. "Do… do you really want to marry me?"

Kai's heart was pounding far too fast. It felt like the adrenaline spark right before a battle. "Of course," he managed.

The other ninja were finally fully silent, their eyes wide and watchful. Feeling bold, Kai pushed away from the table and stood right in front of his boyfriend. Then he sank to his knees, his eyes never leaving Lloyd's, and swallowed. "You know that all of us are bound to you, and all of us would protect you with our lives, just as you would do for us. But the bond I share with you runs even deeper. I promised you that I would protect you, and that I would follow where you lead me, that you could always rely on me, so I would like to ask you now… Will you let me follow you forever? Lloyd Montgomery Garmadon, will you marry me?"

In all that time, Lloyd and Kai didn't look away from each other. The others remained blissfully quiet, but there was a current of anticipation coursing through the room.

It felt like an age before Lloyd cleared his throat and said, "Of course I will.... Someone has to keep my cake away from Cole, after all."

Kai groaned but found himself grinning anyways. "You're insufferable," he told Lloyd and pushed up from the floor.

"That only means you're even more perfect a match," Nya pointed out from Kai's side, but she hugged her brother tightly, patting him on the back. They both knew how much this meant to him...

Lloyd and Kai returned to their places at the table and tried to resume eating normally, but they kept glancing over to each other until Jay scoffed and said, "You two, honestly, go get a room."

"Quiet, sparky, you'll get yours soon," Cole winked and Jay started to protest.

"If you think I have any interest at all in a dusty piece of rock like you—"

"Yeah yeah," Cole waved him off. "Keep pretending, bluey."

Lloyd laughed and reached over to offer his hand for Kai to hold. Kai took it gently, and didn't miss the way everyone stared at their joined hands, their fingers twining together.

"No matter what comes in the future, we'll face it together," Lloyd promised Kai, and they felt each other's pulses jump at his words.

Kai nodded, soaking up the way the light hit the pale gold of Lloyd's hair, making it look just like a glowing halo. This boy would be the death of him, he just knew it. He couldn't help the smile spreading across his face. He raised a spoonful of chili towards Zane, Cole, and Jay and gave his best unhinged grin. "The future looks bright for you and me both, but right now I say we take these three down for being so obnoxious," he suggested and Lloyd grinned too, wild and full of fire, just like Kai.

"What?" Zane sputtered. "I didn't do anything!"

"Wait!" Jay cried out. "But we helped you propose to him, Kai!"

Lloyd snorted while Kai rolled his eyes. "Sure you did," the Master of Fire said, then launched the first spoonful at Jay's surprised face.

"Food fight!!!" Nya cried, pounding her fist on the table before she upended her entire plate on Kai's head.

Kai gasped, shaking sticky shrimp out of his hair. Reaching up, he felt the clingy, pasty sauce of the dish matting his once-immaculate spikes, and he shrieked, "GET HER, LLOYD!"

With a roar, the table fell into chaos again. As the ninja threw handfuls of food at each other — except for Cole who sat there lamenting the waste of it all — Lloyd and Kai looked at each other and smiled. Everything that they had ever done, all that they had ever faced and clawed their way through, had been worth it for moments just like this. With a laugh, Kai leaned in and kissed Lloyd in front of everyone, not even caring to keep anything concealed anymore.

He didn't even care when Nya shouted, "Gross!" and splashed the rest of her water on them. With a smirk, he pulled Lloyd closer and set a palm to the boy's back to dry out his clothes.

"You know," Zane said afterwards, as everyone settled down. "Someone has to clean all this up before Master Wu returns."

"Not me!" Jay was the first shout.

"We will," Lloyd said calmly, volunteering an unwilling Kai before he could protest. "We started this after all."

"They had it coming," Kai argued but stopped when Lloyd cast him a sharp look.

"You said you'd follow wherever I lead," Lloyd reminded Kai, then smirked his signature smirk when Kai let out yet another groan.

"Alright then," Kai sighed. "Lead me to the dishes."

"Get used to this," Jay said smugly. "This is going to be married life for you from now on."

Cole stood up from his seat and brought the rest of his plate down, shrimp-first, on Jay's head. "And this is going to be married life with me," he promised the Master of Lightning and walked away smiling.

"Welcome to the family," Nya said to Lloyd before standing up from the table.

"Can't be crazier than my family," Lloyd called after her, then turned to Lloyd. "Well, let's get cleaning."

Kai sighed melodramatically but didn't complain. He had promised to follow Lloyd wherever he lead him, even if it was just to another mess to clean up. So he smiled as he knelt down to pick up pieces of dinner from the floor with Lloyd. He wouldn't have traded it for anything else.

collapses at ur doorstep after seeing pokemon art :3

what pokemon team (1-6 slots each, doesn't need to be full!!) would u assign sun & moon!!!

(i have been meaning to draw them with a clefairy/gengar, but woe, time is not limitless each day... T^T)

OOOO! The Clefairy/Gengar mix goes so well with them actually, especially with that theory that Gengar is essentially a ghost version of Clefairy. Sun and Moon match their vibes so well!

Honestly there's so many pokemon that it's a bit of a toughie to think of teams! But, imagining their teams as non-submas themed trainers and just their own goobers, I thinkkkk I'd set it up like this! ( Based off my own ooc ideas of the characters :3 )

Sun: Probably would work at a pokemon Nursery and/or focuses on doing Contests. (God I miss those-) I can't help but imagine Sun as someone with a caretaker personality, even if a little sassy, but he'd totally still be into theater no matter what universe!

Ambipom - I feel like this big ol' mon gives off goofy caretaker vibes, and with the extra set of large hands on its tails makes it extra helpful with wrangling and clean up. Plus, more hands mean more props and attacks for contests! It's definitely so playful that it can be a bit of a trouble maker, but when it's time to switch gears or follow rules, it is a stickler and can even be a little scary with how serious it becomes.

Togekiss (Raised from egg) - Okay, probably a bit of anime bias here but I love the little egg thing Togepi is and I feel like it would be perfect for Sun. Just one of the most baby pokemon around, lovely to raise, stubborn, and grows up into the most elegant thing ever. Perfect, muwah, would love to be on stage after demolishing a whole team solo with broken fairy typing.

Chimecho - Such a soothing pokemon. They help keep Sun from becoming anxious with their calm chimes and they're great at getting young pokemon to fall asleep or calm down after a tantrum. The calm to Sun's eccentric energy.

Gourgeist - Is it odd that I think this pokemon would be an amazing cook? Sun can definitely cook things for his pokemon well, but when he's overwhelmed, this buddy can whip up something delicious and even serve it with their psychic abilities to lower the workload. Generally friendly and is a little bit of a trouble maker when everyone's guard is down. Nothing dangerous, at least not on purpose, but all the kitchenware might go missing if someone forgets to say thank you.

Bellibolt - I'm still imagining Sun as an animatronic, so I feel like an electric type is just a requirement. Has the duty to be an emergency recharge, but besides that all this big guy have to do is be cute and happy. Just a gigantic stress ball that loves hugs, and Sun, pokemon, kids, and contest judges alike all love it. Just a silly chill lil guy.

Cinccino - This pokemon is well known for its cleaning habits. So besides being adorable and fluffy - a great cuddle buddy - they help keep the space nice and tidy. Cleanliness is just a must for Sun. Also, I love chinchillas and its a must to have one. It's cuteness and elegance makes it a fierce competitor during competitions but honestly a terrible battler; more worried about keeping itself clean and pretty instead of winning.

Moon: Possibly works as a pokemon ranger (based off the side games) and is a ace trainer that is reformed off an evil team. Idk, my views of his personality is very similar to Silver and well, we know his history with Team Rocket- anyways, I think having a similar background would make him very serious about battle and rescuing others/pokemon.

Banette - Likely to have been with Moon as his first pokemon. Banette's pokedex entries consider it as a vengeful abandoned doll, and seeing it's a tragic but powerful pokemon, I feel like it would be serious but clingy in the quietest ways. It will help Moon in any way it can as Moon adopted it from an evil team and showed it true care, but it does not like any other pokemon getting attention, giving death glares and silently pulling off nasty tricks when no one is looking. Their strong bond makes mega evolving effective in a pinch. (Lets just assume they got the stone somehow its okay bbg)

Ferrothorn - Ignore its stats, this gigantic thing should really be a tank and I am wishing it as one. They're spikey but have a caring nature, and with the way it clings to ceilings or raises its body above things with its noodle legs, it makes it very maneuverable and helpful when it comes to traversing harsh locations. It craves affection, so give em a good pat and they'll love you forever.

Scolipede - Poison Horse. I love it, and it can be amazing in battle if you do the right things. I'm not the best at forming a competitive team, but narrative wise, its thick exoskeleton makes it very durable, its ability to curl up and roll makes it very fast, and it's a great buddy to help move from place to place fast, even when holding 2 people on its back. Probably the most stubborn and self important of the group.

Inteleon - It may be ehhhh to put a starter on this list, but I feel like Inteleon is a mon that would be great in the ranger line of work. A water type is a must for handling fires and to douse any moody flare ups within a group. Plus, water is a must for all life, so it creates an emergency water source. It has great sight from a distance and probably would act more like a scout that will climb up from high areas and leap between large gaps to find whatever it is they're after today. Likes to go at things alone but only wants to provide as much as it possibly can.

Heliolisk - This pokemon is so cool and I don't see enough of it! Definitely a bit of a trouble maker with a childish attitude outside of work. Again, imagining Moon still as an animatronic in this universe, the necessity of having an emergency charge from an electric type seems like a must. It also is great as an emergency light source by holding in an electrical charge in its mouth/hands. However, the dry skin of this pokemon makes it durable, able to withstand extreme heat, and as a lizard it should totally be able to stick to walls, which makes it great for caves or for being a pokemon to rely on during sticky situations. (Budum-tissss) I always forget it's not a ground type, but in my heart it is.

Cofagrigus - This mon scares me so much that I love it. Just a creepy design, but also the amount of move sets and strategies this one pokemon can do is insane. IDK jack about competitive pokemon, but even I know that this is a pokemon to be weary of to go against. This'll probably be Moon's main battle pokemon, where his strategies during a full pokemon battle against a trainer would revolve around Cofagrigus. In reality though, this Cofagrigus is the most motherly towards the team and wrangles everyone into being orderly and just is the general problem solver with interpersonal problems.

If i'm honest, a lot of this list can be exchanged with different pokemon. I mostly chose these based off vibe and some based off typing, but there's probably better pokemon for them out there lol

Thank you for asking though! It was very fun to think about and I love to yap :3333

The light of his heart

Written for @fluffbruary Extended for the month of July: library | glimpse | trip .

Thank you for the prompt. This is the continuation of the fiction: The Favourite: Fragments from the last setting. Both Wakamiya/Nazukihiko and Yukiya’s characterisation might be OOC, but reading the third novel and mainly watching the anime, Nazukihiko’s resolve crumbles when it comes to Yukiya. This is my interpretation between the lines. Hence, fan fiction.

Here I am still focusing on Yukiya/Wakamiya ship whereas the Japanese audience, who have read all Chisato Abe’s novels and collection of stories, are already hard on Yukiya/Shigemaru train.

Fandom: Yatagarasu: The Raven Does Not Choose Its Master

Characters: Wakamiya/Nazukihiko, Yukiya, a very brief appearance of Sumio

Rating: T to slight M

—

Oh, I beg you, / always, always stay / the light of my heart, just as you have / illuminated my way / for an entire year!

— Daigobô Toshiô ( from “Japanische Jahreszeiten: Tanka und Haiku aus dreizehn Jahrhunderten”)

As soon as Yukiya rose to his feet, Wakamiya watched his every move and marveled at how his former attendant had grown up. Gone were the baby fats on the cheeks. The prominent jawline took over a once perfect oval face, and his eyes were bluer than before. He tied his hair on top of his head that flowed down his shoulders reaching the chest. Reddish brown, the same colour like his deceased mother’s, the second princess of the North. He kept his fringe. It suited the younger man, who turned 18.

He also gained more muscles due to countless rigorous trainings at the academy—hand-to-hand combat or otherwise— shapely powerful legs that brought into the fore. He was also a proud owner of a golden sword that dangled on his left side. The dainty stubborn boy was gone replaced by a cunning young military man ready to challenge the enemies of Yamauchi.

“Are you only going to stare at me the whole time? Or are you going to ask me what happened during my absence? If I have friends… Or how am I?” Yukiya licked his lips while he gazed at the Crown Prince, who, in turn, could not take his eyes off his personal guard.

Nazukihiko thought: Which you have. I know them well. You are enjoying your remarkable intimacy with Shigemaru, a fellow Northerner. It bothers me a bit, quite to be honest. And there’s Haruma, who looks up to you as if you were his god. He invited Yukiya personally after the young man successfully took the topmost award among the graduates at Keisoin.

This is strange. Words failed Wakamiya. As a true Golden Raven, he should not feel anything, like desire, at all. Hiding the blush on his cheeks, he shook his head and laughed softly to himself then turned his back to his distinguished guest. He focused his attention instead to the scrolls and books that he was reading at the moment laid out on the mahogany table next to the wall.

No more words exchanged, but heavy footsteps that made the nightingale floors chirp.

Read the rest on AO3.

Flame | ApoLeo

—

CW: May be ooc for some characters, kinda spicy? ApoLeo

I can’t write smut to save my life, so enjoy this instead!

(Wonderful art by Syugyout on Twitter!)

Gentle orange and yellow flames danced around in the lantern, brightening the dim tent up with its powerful light. The flames crackled, attempting to escape out of the gold and glass enclosure as the light grew brighter and larger. Though that was put to an end, with a simple snap of the gods fingers.

The flames inside the lantern quieted down, allowing for Apollo to hear the quiet breathing of the rebel king next to him.

It was peaceful at night in Valhalla.

There were no worries to be had, and no dangers to spring out nowhere whenever things got too comfortable.

Of course, that didn’t mean much to Apollo. After all, he was a god, even if there was any sense of danger, he’d be able to handle whatever it may be with a flick of his wrist. To a god, it may have been nothing.

But to a human, it was peace. A sense of comfort they may have never had in their mortal lives. That shown through with the Spartan army, especially. The men were able to sleep peacefully, not having to worry about suddenly being attacked during the middle of the night. It was a peace they had wanted, and something that could only occur after their mortal lives ended.

There would no longer be sleepless nights, filled with anxiety and dread as they waited for an oncoming attack, or a wild animal stalking the men. No, there would only be peace.

The god had seen it first hand, over and over again by the same man. The strongest rebel in history, King Leonidas, who was currently sound asleep next to Apollo.

His mortal life was one that was full of fighting and war, and his flame was snuffed out by arrows in Thermopylae. Even then, his mortal body didn’t know peace. It had been taken by the Persians and destroyed, only for his bones to be returned to Sparta forty years after his demise.

And yet, he was able to find peace in Valhalla.

That peace was with his men, and a certain sun god. The same god he had swore to destroy, his former enemy, was now his lover.

Apollo hadn’t expected it either, going into their round of Ragnarok. The god and human were both ready to earn a win for their respective sides, bring said side closer to a final victory…that same victory that would decide humanity’s fate.

Though in the end, both had given the entire fight their all. They had fought with their entire souls, including Geirölul, the Valkyrie Leonidas had performed the Völundr with.

The gods had won another match, but despite that, Apollo had seen how truly beautiful Leonidas and his Valkyrie were. Both inside and out, refusing to give up even when faced up against a god.

Leonidas, in Apollo’s eyes, was a true definition of beauty.

That was perhaps why the god had fell in love with him.

It was far from an easy challenge, and what seemed pointless attempts eventually paid off. What seemed like a dying flame had suddenly burst forth, revealing that his attempts were nothing short of fueling the fire that laid deep in Leonidas’ soul.

And because of that flame, Leonidas was currently asleep next to the sun god. His breathing was quiet and gentle, his chest rising and falling in a simplistic rhythm.

Apollo had been watching the sleeping king, golden eyes scanning over single feature the man had to offer.

How his brow furrowed whenever things got over a certain decibel, or how his calloused hands were wrapped so tightly around the gods waist. Despite being in Valhalla, memories of war always seemed to flash through the kings mind, and the way he held Apollo whenever the two slept next to each other was nothing short of protective.

Usually their sleeping position would be more comfortable, though the god found himself restless that night. Perhaps staring at his former enemy for so long had done that to him.

The sleeping man put him under a spell, and it was one he was unable to break free of.

Not that Apollo would complain, because it gave him the chances to do whatever he wanted as the other slept.

His fingertips gently danced over the small of Leonidas’s back, tracing over the scars that were left in his skin by his enemies. Men that wanted to destroy him, and paid the price for it.

The god went silent when he felt the king shuddered slightly once he touched him. That delayed him for a moment, but he continued on once Leonidas went still once more.

Apollo’s fingers slowly trailed upward along the man’s spine, and then eventually stopping at the nape of his neck. He pursed his lips together, golden eyes scanning over the kings sleeping figure before an idea popped into his mind.

The god of the sun wiggled his way out of Leonidas’ arms, leaning forward and pressing a quick kiss to the kings collarbone. He waited for a respond, and upon receiving nothing, he continued. Kiss after kiss was left around, from the mortals collarbone to his neck, and then on his lower jaw.

The silvery beard scratched against Apollo, though he obviously didn’t mind. As nights together, some sleepless and some not, had gotten him used to the others facial hair. It tickled against his skin, and it made his lover look even more handsome.

While he left kisses everywhere, his hand slowly trialed up to Leonidas’ hair which was still tied up from a day of training. His slender fingers eventually found the tie and took it out of the man’s hair, letting the soft, silvery white strands fall down. He ran his fingers through his hair before retracting his hand, and placing it next to him.

Leonidas hadn’t stirred, only shuddering slightly under the gods warm touch.

Apollo’s lips quirked up in a smile, and he dove back down to continued showering his sleeping lover in kisses.

He started back at Leonidas’ face, pressing a few quick kisses against his forehead and cheeks, and then moving to his jaw. He left behind a flurry of affection, and he still wasn’t done. At least, he hadn’t planned to be done until his assault was stopped by a calloused palm covered his mouth.

“Stop it…go to sleep…” Leonidas grumbled shortly after, pulling his hand away and moving his arm instinctively around Apollo’s waist. He grunted, pulling the god down with ease and holding him close.

Apollo hadn’t even attempted to fight back, a soft pout now on his lips after he was stopped. He looked toward Leonidas, who’s eyes were still closed, before he used his free hand and quickly moved it to the back of the kings neck. He managed to pull himself close, leaving an attack of kisses to Leonidas’ neck.

With that though, the kings eyes snapped open and he stared at the sun god with blurry vision. He pushed himself up on his side, keeping one arm around the gods waist and moving to hover over top of him.

But that too was quickly put to an end, with Apollo placing his hand on the kings broad chest, and hooking his leg behind the others thigh. With a simple push, and his godly strength, he quickly switched their positions. Though, the god was now straddling Leonidas’ waist, both hands on his hips.

“Shiny brat…not letting me get some deserved beauty sleep…”

Apollo blinked, letting out a soft chuckle underneath as he leaned forward and placed his hands on the man’s stomach. His fingertips trailed over the outline of his muscle, eventually stopping and resting his palms near his abdomen.

“I was only showing you my affections, my love. Did you not enjoy them?” The god asked with a fake pout. It was obvious he was teasing the other, and he was happy when he received an eye roll in return.

“I’d enjoy them more if you let me sleep, and then we can continue in the morning.”

Leonidas yawned, turning his head away, yet moving his arms around Apollo’s waist and holding him in place. One thumb rested at his hip and rubbed circles into the soft skin, while the other hand squeezed gently.

“But I’ll be called away by my half-brothers, I’m sure of it. Another meeting, another problem my father created…” Apollo huffed softly, gently digging his fingertips into Leonidas’ sides.

The king only stared at him, a tired and deadpan expression on his face. His eyes narrowed, yet a slight smirk was on his lips.

“You’ve survived before, now go to bed…”

Leonidas shifted a bit, going to lift Apollo off of him. Though, that only made the god hold on tighter, and shift a bit forward. He huffed once more, pressing him down further against the kings stomach, which got him a groan in return.

“Fucking…come on, seriously…?” The king muttered, softly hissing under his breath before glancing back up toward the god. The god of the sun only titled his head innocently to the side, grinning in return.

“What did I do, hm?”

“You know damn well what you did, you shitty prick…” Leonidas frowned, sitting himself up slightly. Apollo remained in the kings lap, though felt something poking ever so slightly against his thigh. A small flame came to life inside of the gods chest, and he found himself smiling.

“You’re so cold…” The god tutted playfully, wrapping his arms around Leonidas’ neck and pressing himself closer. He earned a groan in response, which caused him to smile wider.

It had not been his intention for the night, far from it, and yet he couldn’t help but feel somewhat excited. The prior flame now danced in his stomach and chest, making him feel even warmer than before.

“You’re such a brat sometimes.”

Apollo gave a tilt of his head, shifting slightly as he leaned himself forward. His lips were next to Leonidas’ ear, and before he could do anything, his lips were captured in a kiss.

If Leonidas was like fire, then so were his kisses. It left the god of the sun feel as if he were on fire, his inside tingling as the flame burst inside of him and grew brighter and brighter. It burned, and yet it pushed him to continue.

He only pulled away from the kiss when he thought he saw Leonidas getting dizzy. Apollo let out a soft chuckle, which only received him a glare in return.

“Do you want me to apologize?” He pressed himself down, sending another groan in response.

“I want you to fix it.”

“…very well.”

Apollo grinned softly, bringing Leonidas into another kiss and holding him close. Arms looped around his neck, and his legs wrapped around Leonidas’ waist. He had the man captured in his arms, and his heart.

His heart beat loudly in his chest, every second a new voice telling him to go forward.

He burned all over, fingertips gently grazing over the back of Leonidas’ neck, before trailing down his chest. Apollo smiled to himself, letting out a gentle hum before he reached back up and quickly cupped the kings cheek.

No words were exchanged, only looks.

Leonidas’ eyes seemed to brighten once the god looked at him. His gaze almost softened, before he quickly recomposed himself. A hand squeezed the gods waist, and Apollo responded instead with a kiss.

Burning fingertips brushed over the kings scarred skin, finding every crevice possibly and leaving his fiery touch there. Every time he found a new spot, he felt the human kind shudder underneath him. Apollo smiled into the kiss, holding Leonidas close to him before he pulled away and pushed the man down onto his back.

“You…are so beautiful,” the god whispered, eventually leaning down and capturing the king into the another kiss, his other hand trailing down somewhere more private in the process.

The only thing heard from the tent that night were the groans of a god and a king, and the soft crackling of a flame, fighting to break free of its glass cage.

Dreams and Fables - 1x1 Discord Partner

Hi all! My name is Fawn (She/Her, 27, Canadian), and I want to expand my horizons in search of a new writing buddy! I am ONLY looking to write 1x1 on a private Discord server.

I am seeking a partner to write 1x1 with. I am not looking to join any sites or servers at this time. The main genre I tend to focus on is Supernatural/Supernatural creatures. Please note that I do not write in any fandoms, considering my characters are only OCs.

I am a muse bomb ready to explode... ;) I am looking for someone active, ready to send me gifs, playlists, Pinterest boards, muse in general, and of course, write something awesome! I am looking for someone who can post minimally two to three times a week. It does not have to be super quick or super long responses, but I don’t want to wait for more than a week or so (of course under certain circumstances, I understand!)

What I’m looking for in a partner?

• 25+ is a requirement. Preferably She/Her or They/Them due to unfortunate past experiences.

• I would prefer if a partner was in a similar timezone as myself, just to make plotting/musing/writing easier for both of us. I am currently in CST (GMT-6). A difference of one to three hours is ideal.

• Must have an advanced writing style. (3-5 paragraphs - Novella length replies preferred, but not necessary depending on circumstances/plots/etc). I also enjoy Rapid Fire, and shorter replies, as long as the literacy/grammar skills are still present. 

• Active (Replies at least 2-3+ times a week.)

• Someone who is enthusiastic about plotting and characters and coming up with unique ideas!

• Someone who plays a wide variety of characters/personalities. I ONLY play males, and if we are writing romance/smut, I would prefer if your character was female as all of my characters are heterosexual.

• Please keep in mind I do not have any triggers or sensitive subjects. That being said, I will fully respect yours, so please let me know if you have anything that is a no-go.

• Please note that I do not write with anime/cartoon/drawn characters. Characters must have a faceclaim belonging to a real person/celebrity.

• I will ask for a writing sample (can be from a site, another 1x1 setting, etc. As long as it is current), just to make sure that our writing styles will work well together. Thank you for your understanding in advance. :)

• Please note I have a few writing guidelines that I will need to go over with you before we start writing!

Plots I’m interested in?

• I love my ships - I only do M/F, where I write M. I do not write F under any circumstance. I love my fluff/smut and will defend our ships fiercely!

• I REALLY want plots involving angst/fluff/dark subjects! I'm a sucker for trauma, character development, dark histories, crazy scenarios, adventures, etc. As previously stated, mostly anything goes as long as it is in one of the genres listed above.

• Friendship plots - I love a good friendship plot, childhood friends, etc. Whether it be simply platonic or grows into something more.

• I’m a big fan of angst that will cause my characters some discomfort, annoyance, and character growth. Whether it traumatizes them for life or not is up for debate...

• I’m generally a big fan of romance and smut (of course some angst and fluff thrown in there). If this isn't something you're comfortable with, please do not reach out.

What are my hard no’s?

• Darker than dark – If we are writing smut, I will not write rape/pedophilia/extreme abuse under any circumstance.

• God-Modding/power playing - Some situations call for a little bit of push or shove from either side, but please do not try to control my character's actions or words without my permission or talking to me first. 

• Not so serious - Please keep in mind that writing is a hobby for me, not a fight to the death. All of my boys hold a very special place in my heart which I will protect and defend, but please keep OOC and IC separate and I will do the same.

Anything else?

• I am extremely picky and protective when it comes to my face claims.

• I LOVE musing, and I will send gifs and writing prompts I think fit our characters. I get really excited about plots.

• I work Monday to Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. CST. Therefore, I am mostly available later in the evenings and on weekends.

• Things I like that I will talk to you about any time: Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones, Skyrim, Our characters or ships, Musing, Musical Theatre, Theatre, Shakespeare, and Knitting.

If you are interested, have any questions, or would like to discuss things further, please do not hesitate to contact me on Discord at fawnwritesthings (formally Fawn#2062), or feel free to shoot me a message here or react to this post. :) <3

Love and light,

- Fawn

✨Please read all information carefully before reaching out. Thank you!✨

what if we had a sleepover and all four of us, were girls

with the YEARS' WORTH OF CHUJI AND OBSIDIAN DATE out of the way, let's move forward to another bite sized portion of cute story. specifically, chuji walks into the room and – this is very cute – flops onto the bed and goes "tell charlie thanks for me!" to quartz. she's dropped the act! she got her kiss! they both wanted to go on that damn date!

quartz is inexplicably no longer off the shits excited because she raises her eyebrows and goes "You had fun?" I guess it's weird to be like "tell me EVERYTHING! :D" about somebody's date with your brother, but just earlier that was absolutely the energy she was giving. Chuji gives a very edited highlight reel of the date. Someone (Obsidian) please take this girl on some better dates so that she raises her standard.

"Immense. The view was nice, the talk... And the walk... Oh, Quartz! We finally kissed when it was a happy mood!" She had a giggling fit

Slightly into the territory of 'kind of OOC for chuji' but by that I mean 'kind of ooc for my chuji' or even 'kind of ooc for mari.' Anything goes with Augustine's Chuji, as we know.

Quartz tells Chuji she's glad, and Spark.... man.

"Does that mean Tozi is up for grabs?" She whispered to herself slightly smiling. "I heard that," Chuji smiled. Quartz glanced at her, slightly confused. She felt sorry for Spark, who had two boys after her and loved someone unavailable.

Honestly i kind of love this as an inspiration point for Spark's Flaws. He is not even back from the dead yet and bestie is already planning their wedding. Quartz has the good sense to term him 'unavailable', which is to say 'either in love with Chuji or, more relevantly, dead.' Either way, the undercurrents of lesbian jealousy start coming and they don't stop coming.

It's unclear whether Tozi (to Jack's chagrin) is privy to the conversation or whether he's just thinking about his options independently (maybe he peeked in at Obsidian and Chuji having one functional date and decided it was over for him?) but either way, we get a peek into his narration. Below, Jack goes "Omg! You're sure you want him to like her? Maybe he's best for Chuji. It's your choice Tozi," which – given that we just established that Chuji/Obsidian was endgame, a fact that was never really under question because it is no fun to roleplay being in love with your own character – just feels kind of mean. Anyway, here's what Tozi's thinking:

Tozi had a thought forming in his mind. 'Spark waaaas adorable.' Tozi rolled over with his mind infested with thoughts 'I've known Chuji for forever.. But it's better that she's with Obsidian.. He thought of spark nicely'

So... that's all cleared up, kind of. God I'm excited to write Tallin-Relevant Drama. While he contemplates these matters, the girls have some banter in which it is revealed that Obsidian 'cleared out' Quartz's shoes (man) and it's revealed in another nonsensical Anime Stalker move that Charlie knows Spark's measurements. Augustine meant for a dress but this was after a discussion of shoes, which would have implied that Charlie was a foot guy. In my heart he is. Anyway that's all both boring and creepy.

There's a silly little side conversation where Obsidian hangs out with Rim. Having regained all of his Jackass Points from turning temporarily sweet, he dunks on the restaurant and completely fails to mention having such a nice time with his girlfriend that he was forced to sit down on the ground and smile at the sky. Maybe this is dude bonding to him. Anyway, Rim invites him to go rock climbing, and I inform Scratch user 3CheesyPotatoes that "There's no such power as metal." The Tomb Mold show I went to this summer would beg to differ.

Quartz and Spark have their first conversation in a hot minute!! There is also a side story where, inspired by reading Tamora Pierce all summer and thinking George Cooper is hot, I introduce Lorcan The Gentleman Thief and he hangs out with Ky in Charlie's butterfly garden and sounds off to her about being aromantic because I had just learned what aromantic people were and thought it was a fun trait for a character. However Lorcan doesn't really matter at all so I am not going to dwell on him. Meanwhile, the sleepover:

Quartz jumped up and down on her bed with excitement. Tomorrow, Tozi, Tozi in flesh and blood, would be back with them. Spark stared at her. "Quartz? What the heck is going on in your head?" "Just excited!" she grinned.

Then they look (oh, god) at a Book Written All About The Extranei, which was – I will remind you – one of the worst storytelling choices we made all role play. Rim invites Lupus and Obsidian for a boy's night out, which is kind of cute. Lupus says "It's nice to talk to guys for once," which is not cute at all. Spark turns to page 69 to read about everyone's crushes.

Quartz waited in anticipation, then blushed as she looked forward. The page listed her crushes on every single boy in the group, barring James and Rim. (and Obsidian XD)

Whoever wrote the book did a shitty job, because Quartz definitely has a crush on both Rim and Spark. I can't believe I tried to incorporate this into 2.0. Also, if you are barring James, Rim, and Obsidian, that leaves... Lupus, Leo, and Tozi? That is three people. I'm trying to make Quartz sound boy crazy here, but that is three people. Oh, there's Alan pre-retcon I guess? Even though she never made any indications about that and seemed actively distressed by the idea? Spark "turns to her friend, slightly horrified" as if she has a leg to stand on as someone who liked Leo, Tozi, Charlie, and (by admission to Quartz, though said revelation made no sense) Obsidian? Fuck this plotline, and fuck the writer of this book, who seems to claim Quartz likes every person in this damn group except the two people she does like.

Augustine reminds us all that Obsidian and Chuji went on a date, and that Tozi – despite claims to the contrary – is not that cool about it. Awesome dynamic. Normal relationship to have with your best friend.

Chuji blabed about her date some more. "he he. He was sooooo cute!" Tozi gagged

Spark puts the book away, saying "I think that's enough horrors for one night," a sentiment I agree with completely. So does Quartz. Lorcan and Ky do Edgy Thief Dialogue and then Jack remembers that Spark is single while Ky isn't, so it makes more sense for Spark to be doing dialogue with the hot new boy in town. Lorcan describes Quartz as a "giggling blonde" and then we get this – 

Quartz giggled again. "Nice to meet you, Lorcan." Lorcan looked at her. "Don't even consider it," he said warningly.

Which is a very very normal and non-condescending exchange to have with a woman who was nice to you for two seconds while greeting you. Of course, the narrative sanctions it:

"Ah, heroes, I know the type. Lemme guess, you're saving someone" "In a way," Quartz replied vaguely, still staring at Lorcan's green eyes. "I said, lay it off. Aromantic will always be," he informed Quartz. "People just don't interest me like that, and you're no exception."

WOW, sound off i guess! Arophobia was a very serious problem in indikum, I hear. Then Lorcan calls them a "magical girl team with no boys on it", which is just..... a staple of the magical girl genre? There aren't usually boys! Tuxedo Mask doesn't count! If you're going to declare "I WATCH ANIME NOW" to the group, Katia, you could at least get it right!

In response, Spark announces that they were busy trying and failing to pass the Bechdel Test until he came along:

"The boys are rock climbing or something. Us girls, WERE supposed to be having a sleepover." Spark retorted.

Then they head back upstairs, having written Lorcan off on a loss. Spark is like "Idk if we have time for a sleepover :(" and Chuji is like "we need coffee!" It's all very utilitarian "nepeta and meulin make onion rings together" variety dialogue (deep cut reference). Jack asks "(Guys, should Spark like Lorcan Tozi or no one?)" because "this character is aromantic!" is A Serious Foray Into Representation when you're one kind of 12 year old and a Fun Anime Quirk To Be Overcome if you're another kind. Depends on what corners of the Internet you've spent your summer on, you know? I note that Lorcan doesn't have a crush on anyone and "will stay that way"; Augustine says "lorcan is like 18 gurl. Tozi is like cutie galore!" Sound off.

The gang makes coffee and has a pillow fight, which Tozi interferes in. Quartz responds to being hit with a pillow with "Aaah! Monoceros!!" which is meant to be comedic but is kind of, like, fair. She also expresses her dislike of pillow fights.

Then there's this mess:

"He uses these petals that can cause some really bad sneezing. But their so soft! So he stuffs them in! Don't have a pillow fight! The pillows as well are exremly delicate!" Tozi screamed through the door "EEE!" screamed Quartz and jumped onto the bed. Spark took her sword and slashed out a section in the pillow. In a flurry of feathers and honks, a flailing goose flew out. "AND YES! The petals do contain living things!" "I see he also puts geese in them!" "It makes them softer!" Charlie protested, as he watched them from afar.

Completely incomprehensible, everypony, no notes. This slapstick nonsense goes on a while, until – 

Tozi still had a look of anger on his face "If you have anything else in here I will personaly escort my friends to a hotel." "In that case..." Charlie grabbed several items out of the room and rushed away, somehow managing to give Spark a kiss on the cheek.

MESSAGE TO ALL FIFTEEN YEAR OLD GIRLS: DO NOT ACCEPT FREE LODGING FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE OBSESSED WITH YOU. ANIME ISN'T REAL AND SEXUAL HARASSMENT ISN'T FUNNY. Meanwhile, Tozi continues to be a complete buzzkill:

"Thanks, Tozi," said Quartz. "If not for you, we'd have been sneezing our heads off." Tozi then glowered at the others "DID'NT I SAY NOT TO HAVE A PILLOW FIGHT?" he yelled

I give og rp Obsidian a lot of shit for being kind of an asshole but in all fairness Tozi is too. Lupus is really Most Decent Guy in the group by process of elimination.

The sleepover winds down. Twelve years ago, I make the call to timeskip to morning; here and now, I try (TRY!!!) to make the call to get some actual work done for real.

Pretty consistently, the more people there are writing at a time and the more concurrent and weirdly overlapping scenes are going on, the worse and less comprehensible this narrative gets. Much to consider! Next time, beach episode part 1/???? (there will be many parts)

Alright. I got notes but they’re FUCKING GIBBERISH oh my god hopefully i can remember everything

First off, I think claims of Luke being ooc are overstated. That man has had major depression since ESB if not earlier and losing his purpose after he lost Ben just exacerbated it

This movie has a lot going for it but feels like Rian Johnson tried to squish two movies into one. It had the A plot, a B plot, a C plot a D plot and an E plot. It’s too many plots. And it was always going to leave the final trilogy movie in a tough spot.

Speaking of B plot, the Finn and Rose on Canto Bight stuff… I feel so conflicted. Because on one hand, it’s so frustrating that they got completely siloed and then… nothing they did made much of an impact on the plot? They didn’t destroy the tracker, they didn’t destroy the battering ram… idk, it just feels like the writers didn’t know what to do with them. So strange.

BUT. I think what the sequel trilogies succeed at where the others didn’t is showing the impact of the war, the empire, the rebellion across the galaxy. It’s not a bad critique of war profiteering and income inequality. Like we never really see the effects of fascism in the other trilogies like… at all. And I think that’s what the Finn and Rose plot line actually successfully accomplished and that’s not nothing

Also can’t help but notice the cops on Canto Bight look a lot like stormtroopers, have the same visual style and language as the first order. Good detail.

Leia’s space flight was so funny I loved it. The drama of it all. I do remember this initially because we couldn’t tell if they were going to make us watch Leia die like that since Carrie had just passed 💀

Poe’s character arc is pretty solid in this, love Poe and Leia’s friendship.

And of course I couldn’t help but notice that every time they were in a scene together, Finn and Poe couldn’t keep their hands off each other. Oscar Isaac played Poe as so in love with Finn, absolutely incredible

Luke was always going to help Rey, and I think he knew it too, as soon as he realized he saw the same fear and hope in her that existed in himself

Luke smiling for the first time in maybe years when he saw Artoo 😭 and mourning Han… wahh

Getting an insight into how Luke sees (or saw) the force, how he taught his pupils. How painful it must have been to go through it again.

The ancient Jedi texts!!!! And Yoda being a little agent of chaos?? Lmao????

Crait was absolutely gorgeous and they used the white on red to its full potential. When the shooting stops and it looks like blood strewn across the land. Incredible stuff

What was up with that Finn and Rose scene after the battering ram. Just sloppy writing, did it get put in last minute? It felt like they wanted to fridge her but knew it would look bad. Just odd.

Force projection Luke looked so good. No notes.

Luke and Leia’s last moment was great but stop trying to make Han’s lucky die happen it’s not going to happen

10/10 on the animals in this movie I want to hug them all

(Chewie getting bullied into not eating roasted porg. But the porgs are already dead and cooked babe just eat your meal 😂)

They did a good job portraying both Rey and Kylo as struggling between the dark and light side and killing smoke together was epic (hate that guy. not compelling.)

Hux gets bullied so much lmfao love to see it

Finn’s battle with Phasma was great. The dinluke brainrot is real because I couldn’t help but think Din taught him what he needed to know about fighting against armor like that lol

The way Kylo technically achieved his next level of power but in actuality failed at everything he wanted (controlling Rey, exacting revenge against Luke, eliminating the resistance) 10/10

Luke’s death. What worked was the symbolism. Like Yoda said, he’s still looking at the horizon, and he dies doing just that. He closed himself off but he was always a Jedi and he always had hope for the future of the galaxy, and he died doing just that - looking at the horizon with hope for a better tomorrow.

But… on a personal level, I just don’t like it. I don’t think he had to die for it to be impactful and I found it odd Leia and Rey talked about it like it was good or at least it was fine since he was at peace. It just really rubs me the wrong way. But. Que sera, sera.

Just got out of The Last Jedi as the penultimate stop in my Summer of Star Wars at my local theater…. You know I have some thoughts lmao

✩ Poinsettia D’Angeli - Random Facts ✩

☆ - Early twenties in elf years, Pansexual

☆ - Voice claim is Arianna Grande- pretty much her role as Cat.

☆ - She LOVES to sing and often sings to the reindeer, but she is also known to engage in song whenever and wherever she likes. Luckily her voice is good, but it likely still gets annoying when others are trying to work or talk and she’s chirping a Christmas tune to herself.

☆ - Tasked with helping take care of the many reindeer, she is by far the most enthusiastic one there. Knowing ALL of their names, able to spew personal facts and preferences at a moment’s notice, going above and beyond with all manners of affection like bedtime stories and home-made treats. She cares for them like they are her family, since she doesn’t have one, and becomes overcome with worry if any of them are injured or ill. Not to mention, she is FIERCELY protective of her bbies... mess with them and she will destroy you.

☆ - Preferring the company of animals to people ever since she was little, she bonded with the reindeers from the start and spends most of her time amongst them. Very few people know of her and it isn’t uncommon for her to go weeks without speaking to another elf. However, she is still quite friendly and outgoing when she wishes to be- she just doesn’t often wish it. Sweet and kindhearted, if a bit... awkward and blunt, she has a formidable temper and unwavering determination that often takes others by surprise.

☆ - She is small and dainty-looking as Hell... and WILL bust your kneecaps.

☆ - Her appearance always seems to be disheveled; messy hair, wrinkled clothes, dirt stains adorning them, patches sewn onto her outfits from where they had gotten torn... Poinsettia also always wears her namesake in her hair. A fan of colorful things and NOT a fan of the clothes assigned to the elves, she wears bright knee-high socks underneath her uniform, striped like two different patterns of candy canes. Sometimes she’ll also go ham on her eyeshadow with fun Christmas themed colors and patterns, wear clips or bows in her hair, etc... Her accessories seem to change on the daily, aside from her socks. 

☆ - She is ABYSMAL at toy making... but a talented baker and artist. Enjoying making all manners of treats from scratch, be it for animal or person, she will gift those she cares about with their favorite sweets and personalizes them as well. She always has this mixture of sugar and peppermint wafting around her, thanks to the sweet-tooth catering goodies she bakes as well as her habit of always having a candy cane on hand to snack on. While she does love treats as much as anyone, she prefers something mintier. Even sprinkling bits of candy cane into her hot cocoa... 

[motherfated]

like i said. poorly colored.

BUT AREUM MAKING FUCKING CAKES IS TOO CUTE.
