[owensgrumpyoranges]

You've outdone yourself oh my WORD I'm not going to shut up about this anytime sooon alksjdlaskjdlaksjdaljsldaljk 😭😭😭😭

Happy Valentine's day!

✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧✧

The grand ballroom of the Imperial College was a breathtaking sight to behold, draped in rich velvet and adorned with twinkling chandeliers that cast a warm glow over the elegantly dressed attendees and the quiet timeless gazes of historical figures peering down at them from the portraits. The air was filled with the soft melody that seemed to weave through the laughter and chatter of students celebrating the winter ball. 

Lieserl stood at the edge of the dance floor as she caught sight of Welt, his tall figure cutting through the crowd with an air of confidence that made her pulse quicken. Tonight was special, it wasn’t just a celebration of their academic achievements but also a night that held the promise of something more. 

Welt was striking in that tailored black suit, god bless Tesla for dragging him to that atelier in the nearest district. The fabric shined subtly under the ballroom lights and the snow-white shirt beneath added a classic elegance to him. A small light-blue delicate flower was pinned on his chest, perfectly matching Lieserl’s dress and hairpin of flowers tucked in her hair. The contrast between the rich blue, white and the dark fabric created a stunning visual harmony that made them look like a pair destined to dance together that evening.  

Welt approached her, his eyes sparkling with mischief and affection. “May I have this dance?” he asked, extending his hand toward her.  

Lieserl, dazzling in her gown that hugged her figure just right, was a pure vision of elegance. The dress’s layers cascaded to the floor, her usually messy hair were styled in waves (not without Emma’s help, of course) making her features look even more of a delicate doll.

With a smile that lit up her face, Lieserl took his hand, feeling the warmth of his touch seep into her skin through the gloves. As he led her onto the dance floor, the world around them faded away, leaving just the two of them in their own little universe. Lieserl felt a shiver of anticipation as Welt’s hand found its place on the small of her back. It was a gentle yet electrifying pressure, grounding her, guiding her, and sending a wave of warmth through her entire being.  

The music tempo grew, and they began to move together, their bodies gliding across the polished floor. Every step and every turn felt effortless. Wrapped in the warmth of the embrace, Welt guided her through the waltz with grace as if they had been dancing together for a lifetime.  

With every turn, Lieserl felt a rush of joy bubbling up inside her, so bright and overwhelming it threatened to spill over. She wrapped her arms around his neck, laughter escaping her lips as they twirled, the layers of her gown swirling around her like a mist of starlight. Welt’s soft gaze was fixed on her, brimming with a tenderness that made her heart skip a bit and she couldn’t help but smile wider. Lieserl closed her eyes, savouring the feel of Welt’s hand on her back, the heat of his breath against her skin, the steady rise and fall of his chest. 

As the music slowed, Welt brought her to a gentle stop, their bodies mere inches apart as they caught their breath. “Ich liebe dich” he whispered, his voice barely audible over the fading strains of the music. Lieserl’s heart swelled with love, and she reached up to cup his face in her hands. “Ich liebe dich auch.” 

Lieserl turned around, her eyes sparkling with joy, looking for the dear faces in the crowd. Their expressions were a blend of happiness and something else - anticipation? She frowned, confused by the tears glistening in Emma and Tesla’s eyes and the way Erwin covered her mouth as if holding back a secret of what was about to come. Turning back to Welt, she found him standing close, a strange look in his eyes that sent a thrill through her. 

Don't mess this up. Don't mess this up. Welt thought to himself as he lowered himself to one knee. He had imagined this moment a hundred times and rehearsed the words a thousand times and now all he could think of was how she’d mapped constellations into his soul, tracing patterns of light he hadn’t known existed until she saved him, it felt like the universe had whispered her name into his bones long before he’d known her face.

“Ein,” he began, his voice trembling, “from the moment we met, you’ve filled my life with light and purpose. Every moment we’ve shared has been a treasure and I can’t help but dream of a lifetime filled with more.” He paused and took a deep breath. “You’ve been the promise I didn’t know I needed that brought me back to life when I was drowning in silence. You’ve shown me what it means to truly live and I want to spend every day of my life making sure you feel as loved and cherished as you’ve made me feel.”

Then, with a small, nervous smile, he pulled out a tiny box, opening it to reveal a delicate ring that sparkled under the chandelier’s glow. “Will you marry me? Will you let me be by your side, not just now, but always?”

Lieserl’s breath caught in her throat, her heart pounding so loudly as the time stood still. She looked into Welt’s eyes in disbelief, and in them she saw everything - love, hope, and a future she had only dared to dream of. It was a fragile thing, this moment, as a myriad of thoughts collided in Lieserl’s mind. For the first time in her meticulously ordered life, Lieserl Albert Einstein stood paralyzed, drowning in the chaos of her own heartbeat.

It was a wishful fantasy she’d cradled in the quiet hours: stolen nights under the stars, piano keys whispering secrets only they understood, the million times her heart stopped from the radiating warmth of his smile. Yes, Lieserl dreamed of this moment so many times. Yet she never expected this moment would become real one day. A part of her always believed it wouldn't last, that it was too good to be true. The lost boy she took in so long ago now became the one showing her how beautiful the world could be.

Her heart had known the answer long before her mind could catch up. It had been whispering it to her for weeks, months, years. Yes. Yes. Yes. Tears welled up, blurring her vision for a moment before spilling over. They traced paths down her cheeks as she stared at him, kneeling before her.

“Yes,” she whispered, her voice trembling. “A thousand times, yes.” 

A radiant smile broke across his face, his eyes shimmering with unshed tears as he slid the ring onto her finger. Lieserl laughed through her tears trying to brush them away. As if sealing the moment, Welt lifted her hand to his lips, pressing a soft kiss to the ring. Then he rose to his feet and before Lieserl could react, he scooped her up into his arms, lifting her off the ground. She let out a surprised gasp as he spun her around.  

Lieserl’s hands moved to cradle his face as she leaned in, her lips brushing against his in a kiss that was filled with the promise of forever. The ballroom erupted into cheers and applause. Emma was sobbing, clutching to Erwin’s arm while the latter grinned from ear to ear. Tesla thought about this moment long ago, watching Welt and Lieserl’s story unfold like a beautifully written novel. And now, as she stood there, her heart swelled with a mix of pride and joy, knowing she had witnessed something extraordinary from the very beginning. And, this time, she let the tears fall, her smile widening as she whispered, “I knew they were long-lost lovers."

[yuhi-san]

I sat my ass down and put some meta thoughts into word that have been swirling in my head for ages for @tristampparty day 9 Brad and luida

Because i wont be finishing the planned story on time, soo

Brad, Luida and ship three went in completely blind when it came to how to handle vash being an independent pant. They had nothing to go off on and as far as they knew, independents were a theoretical possibility but vash was the first one they encountered (not even luida had the clearance to see anything that could contain mentions of tesla). Vash isn’t really human but he isn’t like a dependent plant either.

I made a post about how that regarding how vash initially seemed to go through a human lifecycle a lot faster, until they realized he just stopped aging at a certain point.

The other thing I wonder is, do brad, luida and at least some of the others know about tesla?

The answer is, im sure it will never come up in canon. And I guess people are inclined to say, no way would vash ever open up to anyone about it.

But I think brad and luida know. Not much. Maybe just that there was an independent before them and she had died from the experiments done on her. Just these two things is all vash ever said.

Because see, in stampede vash came to ship three when he was still very small. It became his home, he actually bonded with all these people, they are like family. And he was still very young when the traumatic loss of his arm happened.

It changes the dynamic between him and these people a lot compared to trimax and 98.

Vash doesn’t have a regular prosthesis but a cybernetic one (or three if you like me follow the hc that his legs are prosthesis as well). also there is metal and hardware (?) on his chest and stuff. But even

My point is, those aren’t things he got from patching himself up or went through shabby surgery in a back alley or something of no man’s land.

 Initial surgery when luida brought him back aside, that must have been ‘experimented’ with vash to some degree because they knew nothing. Can he get sick? How does he response to medicine, to painkillers? To anesthetics? Vash bleeds but does he have bloodtypes like a human? What are they supposed to do when he lost his arm? Give him a bloodtransfusion like they would with a human and hope his body wont reject it? Throw him in a plant tank and hope that the plants can do for him what he does for them?

And even if they were kind and patient and understanding and reassuring about it, there must have been so many moments where it was literally just trial and error because they simply had nothing to go on. It must have been so scary for vash.

But especially with his arm (and possibly his legs). It’s an cybernetic arm. There are cables and shit directly connected to his body. It’s not a regular stump he has, it’s a port, its hardware embedded in his flesh.

And surgeries are scary, especially for kids. Its normal to be afraid of them. But vash must have been beyond terrified by the mention of it. Far, far more so than could be reasonably explained as a normal reaction. So I think vash told them because he was too terrified, too afraid, didn’t know what else to do or say. A hysteric outburst more likely than calm communication.

(“There was an independent before us. They experimented on her. She’s dead.”)

It was terribly for everyone involved.

But, like even if vash didn’t tell them.

At some point, he made the conscious and active decision to trust this people so unconditionally. Despite his rocky start with them and what had transpired with the blackbox, they could reassure vash that he was save and no one would do him any harm.

Vsh trusted them enough to let them put him under, take a scalpel to him, change his body irrecoverably but he would come out of it alright, wouldn’t endure any unnecessary pain by their hand.

Like, if you think about it like that, after the horror of what happened to tesla that shaped him and nai so much, vash found it in himself to trust these people with what then and possibly still might be his biggest trauma. And like rem had promised, he didn’t end like his sister

[kitsune-kira]

okay so first off. tesla and welt are not canon married. ok now that that's out of the way

if anyone asked her if she and welt were married i think she'd get Offended bc while he is her loser-dork that she effectively raised

she has standards.

95 + Ashley?

set in the AT canon s5 with Ashley alive and well in the Hollow Earth Sanctuary. I’m operating under the assumption that Ashley still has her abnormal abilities from the experiments performed on her. this takes place soon after the Old City Sanctuary is destroyed and everyone begins to settle in in Hollow Earth. CW for blood and minor derealization

“Get back!” Ashley lunges at the screeching abnormal, showing it her own claws and letting her fangs sharpen inside her mouth. It screams again and flies away in a swirl of camouflaging feathers, its colors changing as it moves. Ashley picks up her stunner that had shorted out earlier, moving swiftly out of the enclosure before its inhabitant decides to try dive-bombing her again. On her way out, she happens to catch her reflection in the mirrored walls around her. The black of her eyes sends a shiver down her spine. She clenches her hands into fists to force her talons to retract.

By the time she’s in the elevator, she feels like she’s reverted successfully to her human form. But when she gets out at the lab level and shouts for Henry, the distortion of her voice startles her.

“The goddamn stunner crapped out—“ she coughs, trying to clear her throat as the vampiric timbre echoes around the room. “God, sorry,” she mutters, her voice returning to normal. “I had to startle Big Bird down there back into his enclosure so he wouldn’t take my eye out,” she explains.

“Startle is right,” Henry says fervently, coming around the corner. “Ooh, you’re bleeding— is that from the bird or did you bite your lip again?”

Ashley lifts her hand to her mouth, hissing in pain when she brushes her fingers over torn skin. “Ow. Me, I think. I can’t believe none of this hurts when I have all those teeth in there… so weird.”

Henry hands her a tissue, and she holds it against the cut. “Sorry about the stunner,” he says. “I think the power regulator is having trouble with the different intensity settings. I’ll take a look at it.”

Ashley has never noticed how many reflective surfaces there are in Henry's lab. She's trying to razz him a little bit about the glitching weaponry, but she keeps catching sight of herself, startled even at her human form. She hates looking in the mirror when she's got the vampire fangs and claws, but it's still uncomfortably weird to see that she looks so normal when the smell of blood is still filling her nose and the voice in her head is whispering for her to jump into action and fulfill the threats she'd made down in the enclosure.

"Hey. Ash."

Her head snaps up when Henry says her name. "Hm?"

"Why the claws?"

She hadn't even realized they were back, but she can't immediately get her body to withdraw them. "Uh, sorry. You know, I'm feeling kinda beat," she lies. "I'm gonna go lie down."

Sleep doesn't come easily, though, with the anxiety taking over her mind. Ashley finally stops trying when she realizes her lip has bled enough to soak into her pillow. The fangs are back, and she's tearing up her own skin.

She hates that she can't feel it. It only adds to the feeling that her body is no longer hers.

Thankfully, her mother is already down in the infirmary, studying some genetic mutation that's causing behavioral changes in one of their long-standing colonies. She looks up when Ashley comes in, her eyebrows arching. "Darling, what happened?"

"It's getting bad again," Ashley admits, her eyes downcast. "Your meds are still helping with the Vampire Brain, I think. It's... my brain that's the problem now."

"How do you mean?" Mom is snapping on gloves, gathering a stack of gauze and a random bottle as she approaches.

"I'm not doing this on purpose," Ashley says, gesturing to her face.

"I should hope not." Mom nudges her to the right until she's sitting in a swivel chair by one of the other desks.

"It's like, the more I freak out about feeling out of control, the less control I have," she says. "It's not this bad with the teleporting, though?" She hasn't actually thought about that until just now. "I think it's just... I still feel like this body isn't my own..." she extends her claws again. "And I think that's, y'know. Even worse after... what the cabal did."

Mom sighs. "Alright. Close your mouth, Ashley, I need to assess the external damage."

Ashley lets her mom clean her up, closing her eyes as the comforting smell of her perfume replaces the intoxicating aroma of blood. "Well, your physiology should heal the cut fast enough," Mom says. "It's just a matter of not making it worse right away."

"I don't notice when I'm doing it," Ashley whines. "It's, like, a nervous tic, I guess."

Her mother hums. "You know who you should talk to?"

"Do not say Will," Ashley snaps. "I love him, but I'm not letting him be my shrink."

Mom chuckles softly. "I was actually going to say Nikola."

Ashley hesitates, frowning a bit. She's been keeping her distance from the vampire ever since she'd barged into her mother's bedroom to find the two of them in bed, thankfully concealed by blankets. But he is literally the only other person who understands the voice in her head.

"Yeah," she says slowly, "maybe I should."

Mom fusses around her for a little while longer before she's satisfied. "Alright, well. Go change your clothes, you're covered in blood. And then go eat, please."

"Alright, Mom." Ashley shrugs her off, but she's smiling. "Thanks."

Her mother catches her one more time with a quick kiss to her cheek. "Ashley?"

"Hm?"

"I'm proud of you."

You mentioned the deal w seeds in the plane au — what IS the deal w seeds in this au, if you don’t mind me asking?? 👀

bwah okay its not that much different from canon. they were still a deep space colonization fleet but in this au their mission was technically a success

seeds established an research outpost on no mans land to study the planet and test it for potential permanent habitation in the future. basically the fall doesnt happen. or at least not when and how it does in canon

vash and nai were born when seeds began constructing proper long term facilities on the surface

2 years later the research facilities have turned into small cities, terraforming projects kicked into gear and a decent human population was slowly being woken up from cold sleep. the colonization mission for this fleet was deemed a success

the twins were part of a project testing independent plant capabilities and the utility potential of reality bending (the ability to both power and control machines and expanding the storage capacity of small fast aircraft for transportation efficiency), later named project gemini in their honor. during that time the jets g-01 and g-02 and their prototype engines were constructed

at some point nai found detailed info on the project and noticed the discrepancy in their unit numbers, their engines being numbered 02 and 03 in the blueprints. more digging led to the discovery of tesla and her fate as an integrated part of the fleets onboard ai, knives went mad and began plotting the downfall of humanity. over a few weeks he secretly gained control over the local aircraft fleet and one of the production lines and launched an assault on the main ships in orbit

the one man war against seeds (and poor vash, who was caught in the crossfire, not wanting to fight either of them and trying to stop them from fighting each other) lasts a few decades and only ceases when nai shoots his brother out of the sky by accident

by then little was left of the original seeds project, losing the battle in the end. the sky and desert are a graveyard of ships and aircraft a century later. most of humanity doesnt remember the project or know what happened. a majority of the population abandoned seeds and fled the facilities to establish their own settlements during the war

and thats the deal with seeds! i think? did it explain anything? i got so caught up in writing this that i wrote down some of the early plot dhgfjhdfg

TRIGUN STAMPEDE #11 — 新世界へ

We Independents will bring a new order to this world.

[somereaderinblue]

Deadmeat Rem AU

We've seen Twin Swap AUs & recently, I've thrown my own hat (re: Purple Hyacinth AU) into the loop. However, upon rereading @lost-technology's Survivor's Guilt fic & going through our dms, I propose a more unorthodox role swap prompt:

AU where Vash & Rem swap places.

Vash is a Plant engineer who became a SEEDS navigator after losing Alex (he can be Vash's bf or relative in this AU). He's there when Tesla is born & has to live on after her (murder) death (which was his fault, he should've been better, should've done more, fought harder, they were gifted an angel & they slaughtered her). He's the goofy dad who's there through the twin's formative years, desperately trying to be better because he knows his best isn't & never will be enough.

And okay, I'm spitballing a bit here, but imagine: how would this impact Rem? The poignancy of her character comes from her role as much as her personality. In canon, she seemed to be an only child, so how would having Nai as an older brother affect her? How would she handle the Humanoid Typhoon's role? We, as the audience have only known canon!Rem through the 1 year Vash spent with her & snippets of her past, so how would her 150 year life span go?

Or if you want to shake things up further, maybe Nai & Tesla swap roles too. Maybe Nai is the one born first. A boy Plant who could produce metallic material, a weapon at worst & a tool at best. They name him Knives so no one forgets that & Vash nicknames him Nai to say 'no, I do NOT agree with that!'.

Thus, Tesla (maybe with electricity powers??) is the one who decides to end humanity because god forbid women commit crimes /j. Is this is also lowkey inspired by @shelternmberone's Roleswap AU? Yes. GIVE US MORE VILLAIN TESLA AUS!

If you want to go another mile: maybe Luida & Brad take Meryl & Milly/Roberto's places as Ship 3's residents & investigative reporters/insurance agents respectively.

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is, the sky's the limit rlly, which is the whole point of AUs like this.

Stuff in my country got so expensive I gotta make it for myself. I can't make this shit up. I wanted a cute bag and it cost too much so I took a picture of the design, bought fabric and I'm gonna do it myself.

No, I don't feel bad. I'm gonna continue doing it. I'm already putting embroidery on my stuff, this is just me evolving. The knowledge that I pirated an overpriced bag fills my dark little heart with joy. I hope one day, when this price gouging ends I can walk into that store, look them in the eye and take a picture of a different bag.
