In a forest full of fairies and wonder, it'd come to no surprise that a sense of happiness filled the air wherever the Fairy King had gone. Gloxinia was flying through the trees, allowing his majestic wings to flutter behind him, looking for many little fairies as they hid from him.

His favorite game to play, hide and seek; Especially as he'd come across so many that were terrible at keeping quiet! They'd either just giggle to themselves or speak to one another; telling each other 'Keep quiet! He might hear us!'

"Caught you!" He'd speak as he would sneak up on them, giving them a sudden fright before putting their heads down at the idea of being found already.

"Aww man." "Boo!" "Hey lets go find the others!" They'd all speak in union before floating off.

The fairy king would cross his arms over his bare chest with a chuckle towards the fairies, watching as they'd fly off to play their own games. "Fairy king!!" Gloxinia was quick to turn to a few little pixies surrounding him with frightened and confused looks. "We felt something creeping around in the forest at the waterfall! It was a weird presence!!"

"Really?" He seemed to almost laugh it off and pat them all on the head, "Don't worry, I'll take care of it." He assured before flying off through the forest. It couldn't be that bad, likely a demon. He can handle that.

Well, at the time he wasn't expecting to have met a fairy like them.

After some time, Gloxinia felt a suspicion creeping up his back. There wasn't a sign of anything strange lurking through the trees the longer he searched.

That's when he heard the smallest sounds of something moving towards the ground, walking slowly and bushes rustled. As soon as rushed to the area, it was just a fairy.

"What are you doing here?" Gloxinia asked confused but didn't get an answer from the certain fairy as they turned to him, their expression nothing he's seen before on a fairy. It was a poker face... They almost looked like they were shocked or confused by his sudden appearance. He didn't waste any time, "You haven't seen any demons or anything strange around here, right?"

"no," they spoke, their voice timid and almost on edge.

it felt like was a waste, Gloxinia didn't see anything odd going on, but there was something on his mind. This fairy, he's never seen before, didn't seem like they were much of a social person. He couldn't explain why, but they brought a sudden curiosity to him. "What's your name?" He asked, slowly levitating closer to the ground where they stood and sitting in the air with his wings fluttering behind him.

"(Y/N)." they spoke in a quiet voice.

"Well, I'm sure you already know who I am, Gloxinia, king of the fairies." He spoke, coming off with a light heartedness.

The fairy nodded their head, fiddling around with the edge of their clothes awkwardly before looking away, ".. well, I'm gonna go." They immediately turned to leave.

"How come?"

"I shouldn't be here."

Gloxinia seemed surprised by that answer, whatever did they mean? When he read their heart.. he read a sense of self guilt for being there.. All the fairies are welcomed in the forest. Before he could ask, he watched from behind, their wings made a quick and sudden flutter which made the buzzing sound similar to a bee. (Y/N)'s wings had a unique small shape, nothing he's seen before.. it was a little odd, their wings were much smaller than the average size. Often fairies, for their small size, had wings that were as large as them, this fairies wings didn't even stretch out to cover their back.

"That's a unique set of wings." He commented, pointing it out to them. They seemed to stop in their tracks, their back turned. They didn't answer at first; they didn't want to answer.

"..thanks."

"If it's fine to ask, what are you doing out here by yourself?" He levitated beside them, his arms crossed over his bare chest as he took a closer look at their face.

"..I'm walking through the forest..?" They seemed confused by his question.

"Why not just fly?"

(Y/N) seemed hurt by the question almost, looking down awkwardly as their wings made another buzzing sound of a bee for a slight moment. ".. I can't fly."

Gloxinia definitely wasn't expecting that for an answer, "what?"

"My wings are too weak to carry me no more than like three feet above the ground."

He thought about their words, pondering on it. "Is that why you're out here? By yourself?"

They were quiet, staring at the ground. "I'm an outcast compared to all those fairies. I mean, what's a fairy if they can't fly? They're just.." (Y/N) stopped their words, their hand, almost unconsciously, reached back as their fingers were touching the area where the wings sprout of their back.

Gloxinia thought about it for a moment, there didn't seem to be any sign of actual guilt or anger to signifying they were lying.. but when he read their hearts, there was sign of self hatred, insecurity and envy.. Actually, he felt a feeling of jealousy begin to grow as they stared at his own wings..

"how long have you been like this?"

"a few hundred years.. why?"

He didn't give a answer to your words, thinking for a moment. Although he couldn't help them with how they thought about the idea, but.. "why don't you join the other fairies and me? We're playing a few games."

He watched as their expression almost seemed surprised by the sudden invitation, "didn't you hear me..? I'm an outcast. I can't fly-"

"So?" He cut off their words, he had a almost disappointed look to how they were thinking but his expression still soft, tilting his head withal a little smile. "That doesn't stop you from joining in some fun." Their eyes lit up slowly, which made him smile. He watched as their eyes lit up slowly for a moment, which made him smile. It was like they suddenly got a spark of happiness, something they'd never expect.

(Y/N) didn't say anything, looking down at the ground almost pondering on what to do.

Gloxinia smiled faintly at the expression they made, that spark of happiness almost made him chuckle out loud. They seemed to be confused, and he couldn't blame them. He let them think in silence for a few seconds before speaking.

"do you think, I'll ever get the chance to feel like a real fairy?"

He laughed off their question for a moment, waving his hand in defense to show he didn't mean any offense as they looked surprised and almost offended by the way he responded.

"Well.. wings or not, you're still a fairy by blood which is enough in my book. Now, are you gonna take my hand to join me in a game of tag or I'm gonna have to drag you myself, little flower?" He spoke as he held his hand out in invitation to them again with a grin.

"so you gonna come with me or not?"

I imagine that Raiden yelled at Kung Lao like the way my mom yelled at me when I told her all the fnaf lore at 11 years old when this happened

How the Sins basically found a home with each other hits even harder when you remember that none of them really has a home to return to. And makes their 10 years apart so heartbreaking!

I mean, let's think about...

Meliodas and Gowther are both from the Demon Realm, so that's definitely out of the question. Besides, I doubt either of them would actually be welcomed there after everything that happened in the Holy War.

Merlin and Escanor's homes are both gone. Belialuin was destroyed at the hands of the Demon King and Supreme Deity after Merlin deceived them. The Kingdom of Castellio was also destroyed at some point. Plus, Escanor was literally chased out of there, so that's like a double no for him.

King, as we know, tried to return to his home after the Sins were framed, but found it destroyed (and didn't find out until way later what actually happened and how the Fairy King's Forest was revived in a new place). Also, he, too, was viewed as traitor.

Ban, well, technically he can and does return "home" at a later point. But for him, it's more of a returning to his home town than an actual home. So I wouldn't really say that he has a home to return to either, because it lacks the emotional connection, you know?

Diane, too, does return home at one point, but it literally takes her losing her memories to do that. And, like, she already left it twice, so, maybe not that much connection there either.

Also! Another heartbreaking aspect: they have all lost people close to them, so they don't even have a "home is a person" to return to...

the thing about liking boy comic book characters is that theyre usually not written well on account of being comic characters but every once in a while a writer will give a shit and write them good and that rocks. however if you like girl comic characters you will open any comic book at any point and your precious angel is getting tradwife'd because the writer thinks shes hot and too heterosexual to conceptualize that women can exist outside of relationships with men

i swear this is my last post on this but even if i agreed with the idea that kevin is a coward - obviously i don't - but even if i did, i'd still be annoyed at how it reduces and ignores everything else we know about him.

he is a nervous wreck and an insufferable bitch and a scathing diva and has a drinking problem

he is also beautiful and brilliant and talented and unparalleled and determined and loyal and he has unwavering faith in the people who are worth his attention

those are just a few notable traits. kevin day is a nuanced character so it's time we start treating him accordingly

One crucial aspect applicants need to understand is the potential grounds for refusal, especially when it comes to deception.

Seeing all the people from tiktok on here excited that tiktok is back is exactly why nobody wanted them on here in the first place . Hello.

[bakerstreet-and-beyond]

Been spending these last 24 hours of TikTok screen recording my dead friends page and all her videos, screen shotting lockdown era chats with my first real online friends I made through the app, got almost all 5,000+ of my faves/edits saved, scrambling to convince all the Fallout moots I made on the app this last month to please consider coming to Tumblr, crying my eyes out over all my favourite creators goodbye/memorial videos, trying to save every scrap of things that I liked, changed me for the better, and that made me happy on to a hard drive.

I'm sorry that I'm nearly inconsolable rn: I'll be spending more time here again like I've done off and on for over 10 years, that is a silver lining but, I'm mourning the video ideas I had for the summer, no ghost trend this fall, recipes lost, memories I made with others and the ones I thought I'd continue to make and I can't comprehend that we're about to enter this next phase as a country without this window to the world and eachother....

I love the resurgence of the Madoka Magica fandom with the anniversary of Magia Record and the upcoming news of the newest movie! The tags are filled with beautiful art and ideas.

To celebrate my magical girl brain rot coming back, I organized a shelf for some of my PMMM merch.

These certainly aren’t all my items. I also have a pmmm purse collection and paintings around my home. This series fills me with endless love, and it makes me so happy to see others also love it!

just finished listening to dog man star (been to busy to get to it earlier) and oh my god you were right it's so good ???? the guitar is also something else (it was still bernard butler then right ?) i love it sm <333 tysm for recommending it it's defo gonna be on my regular rotation from now

hiii (sorry for the late reply) Thank you for checking it out, & I'm so glad you liked it bc that album is like Everything to me 💕💕💕 yes you're right, suede made 2 albums with bernard before he left (he walked out during the recording of this album actually, and apparently recorded separately to the others for the duration of the time he was there). and though i think suede's 2nd guitarist richard oakes is nothing to sneeze at either, it is incredible how much bernard's guitar parts immediately stand out. it's something i notice a lot in their self-titled album as well.

dog man star's critical reception is a little weird - most of the music press at the time called it "pretentious" and "experimental" which is weird to me bc it's... really not that out there? bernard had a vision for the album that was a lot more boundary-pushing than the final product we got, and you can hear hints of it in some of the bonus/demo tracks we have. but for the most part it's a batch of extremely solid, but faaaairly standard rock songs.

i'd probably recommend their self-titled next, or even their latest, Autofiction (which i absolutely fell in love with this year bc it's their goth album). but overall I Believe In Suede Supremacy, so imo you can't really go wrong with them. i'd also add that they are known for being a b-sides band, so definitely don't miss out on those. a bunch of them are collected on the "scifi lullabies" compilation, and my personal favourites are the We Are The Pigs b-sides, Whipsnade and Killing of a Flash Boy :)
