This is how I hope reader and Alastor's divorce would be like. Give me a grand musical number of reader having ENOUGH and leaving his sorry ass please please please

This way, you won't disappoint me.

This way, you won't waste my time.

This way, I'll close the door.

Consider this as my goodbye.

That's just like you.

Why should I be surprised?

Selfish and prideful and vain.

I'll remind you.

I saw you as a friend.

But now we're done.

This way, you get what you wanted.

This way, you can save your time.

This way, you close the door.

And have your damn goodbye.

You're not looking for a partner!

You're not looking for a friend!

I mistook you for a savior!

What a waste of effort spent!

At least I know what I'm fighting for,

While you're fighting to be loved.

Since you claim you're so much better,

Why's your life spent all alone?

You're alone.

One day, you'll hear what I'm saying.

One day, you might understand.

One day, but not today

For after all, you're

Just a man.

This day, you sever your own head!

This day, you cut the line!

This day, you lost it all!

Consider this as my goodbye!

spencer idea!

he is having the reader over for like the 3rd ish time yes they met on a dating app

but this time reader is so excited because it’s their first sleepover and they play games and hang out!!!

I’ll Make You Banana Pancakes

pairing: spencer agnew x f!reader

a/n: ANON I LOVE THIS!! ugh he’s so cutie. also this is short n sweet but i hope u enjoy either way!!

requests are open <33

it started with a swipe. spencer's profile, with pictures of him at comic-con and a shelf lined with action figures in the background of a picture of him and his friends, caught your eye immediately. your heart raced as you read through his bio, filled with references to your favorite games, movies, and tv shows. you couldn't believe your luck – it was like someone had designed a profile just for you.

your first conversation was effortless, flowing from one topic to another as you discovered more things about him that you adored. within days, you were spending evenings chatting about your favorite franchises and playing runescape together. you’d already met in person a couple of times, each date better than the last, leading up to this third and much-anticipated meeting.

and so here you are. stood at his apartment door, heart pounding with a mix of excitement and nerves. he opens the door, and his warm smile puts you at ease instantly.

“hello there.” he says

“general kenobi!” you reply, in your best greivous voice.

he smiles widely at this, and you step inside. you notice the table set up with your favorite snacks – sweet and salty popcorn, sour patch kids, and a mt dew kickstart. the gesture is small but meaningful, and it made you feel seen, your chest growing warm as you settled onto the couch. you feel a blush creep up your cheeks. being known in this way, having your preferences remembered, makes you feel special. it’s a new feeling, one that makes you feel really, really happy, but vulnerable almost. you’re kind of shy at first, not knowing what to do with yourself, but the comfort of his presence makes it easier to relax.

you start with a few rounds of mario kart, laughter and warmth filling the room as you battle for first place. after a particularly intense race, you pull out your secret weapon – a copy of spyro for the ps4. you flash him a confident grin.

"watch me crush this," you declare, eyes sparkling with excitement. “it’s my party trick!”

as you play through the fight between spyro and gnasty gnorc, you expertly navigate the world as you chase and headbutt him, eventually earning all 500 gems.

you stand up and raise your hands in victory and shout “OH YEAH! told you!”

sitting back down, spencer tells you how impressed he is, and you bow. he tells you all about how he and his friends used to play spyro as kids, leading you to spend hours reminiscing about your favorite childhood games. the conversation flows, and by now pretty late, so you decide to watch cowboy bebop in his bedroom. cuddled on his bed, the familiar intro song plays softly as you sing along. it’s a perfect end to a perfect day.

eventually, you lie down with him, your legs tangling together under the covers. the closeness is comforting, a silent promise of many more nights like this to come. you drift off to sleep with a smile on your face, feeling safe in the gentle embrace of his arms.

the morning comes around, and you wake up to the sound of soft jazz music spilling from the kitchen, and the delicious aroma of pancakes. you then tiptoe to the kitchen doorway and watch him for a moment, completely absorbed in his movements. the sight makes your chest warm with affection, and you can't help but giggle softly.

your giggle catches his attention, and he turns around with a smile.

“morning princess. sleep well?” he says, turning back around to the stove

“mhm.” is all you manage to reply, head still foggy with sleep.

you walk over to him, heart swelling with emotion, and you gently kiss his cheek and lean your head on his shoulder, the moment feeling both intimate and perfect. you stand there in the kitchen, surrounded by the scent of pancakes and the sound of old jazz, enjoying the simple but profound pleasure of being together with your dream man. and you were happy.

My Tanthamore Comfort Fics

We were talking about comfort fics in the Tanthamore discord and I realized I have too many for a normal sized reply, so here's a tumblr post instead. In no particular order i've reread these fics...maybe too many times.

I'm just gonna list em by author cause that's easier. Keep in mind we may have different definitions of the word comfort.

@commanderbuffy

650 ft2 - Ok so like envision these girls have been best friends for forever and they've been secretly pining for ages, no sense of personal space, they can read eachother like books AND they were roommates!

The Tanthamore Affair - This fic has everything, one bed, fake dating, celeb au, the fic that changed the meaning of a certain emoji and all the tropes you could want really

@badlance

We've got to find other ways to make it together - this one line says all you need to know

"It is the greatest irony of Jade Claymore’s life to be a certified genius who is nevertheless in love with an idiot."

@spybrarian

More Than Just Survival - as far as 5+1 fics go this one has me in a CHOKEHOLD

I scream at your chest for as long as I must

one night at the start of the end of the world

@ilovemyships (i think you need an AO3 account to read these gems)

you won't believe it (they think we're lovers)

don't wanna pressure (but friends don't kiss friends)

@acre-of-wheat - Acre's way with words should be studied

Network Connectivity Issues - I have never related to a character more than I relate to this Jade

The Dark

The Bite

@jlmichigan

Out of the Cuirass - one of the first tanthamore fics I ever read actually and I still come back to it every so often

@stbot

lay down your armor (come lie bare with me) - saintbot has a catalogue lemme tell ya but this one for tanthamore is just so heartwarming

@overkill-max

Escaping Fate - the Kit runs away fic that everyone needs

Dil3mma (idk their tumblr right now sorry)

A Sword And A Shield (And Everything In Between)

Deja-Brew - the loveliest coffee shop one shot

Jad3dEt3rnal (idk if they have a tumblr either)

This Daydream is Dangerous - cuddly vampire Jade, need I say more?

ana_chronistic (idk if they have a tumblr either x3)

Oops. I proposed. - fake dating x 100, fake proposal it's like fake dating to the next level and I love the growth of communication and pacing in this.

@barmaid-anon

do what you feel now

you want a good girl that does bad things (to you)

fulfill (an obligation) or keep (an arrangement)

we simply don't have time to unpack why these are comfort fics, we're just going to accept it and keep going.

@thecsquirrel

Sword and Shield - I love this look at what post S1 life could have been like for the gang, revisiting Nockmaar, seeing Galladoorn, getting into the evil Elora storyline with Graydon, spending more time with the Nelwyn and in the Wildwood it's just everything

@wigster07

What a pleasant surprise - a fic of one of my other comfort fics, I know it's like fic-ception in the best way possible. If you liked Tanthamore Affair I have an inkling this will be right up your alley

@isabrella @jade-claymore @allthefakepeople @resurrecho

those rumors they have big teeth - BAND AU need I say more? I don't need to but i'm going to, this fic has everything Kit and Jade in a band, Kit's leather pants, gay-ifying songs, MAMA MIA, totally gay best friends who have basically been dating for years but won't admit to it, Jade gets to be a bit problematic as a treat, inner band fighting, what more can you want?

@swashbucklery

meet you where the spirit meets the bones (tanthamore 90s werewolf au) - its a SERIES of these repressed gay DORKS and they're werewolves, there's such a charming way to how this author writes them I legit can't even with these two gays

@onlyshestandsthere

these walls come tumbling down - look, we don't have time to unpack why there's so many were-related supernatural esque fics on my comfort list and I know this is only 2 chapters in but I can already feel the comfort in all the hurt ok I dont even have to wait I already know i'm gonna be rereading this like monthly

I'm gonna have to stop there even though I know i'm still missing some! If someone asked me what my favorites are we'd be here all day XD

[mad-as-a-box-of-frogs]

just got obsessed with marcsteven whats the best long fics? HELP

yeeesss welcome to the delights of Moonmoon shipping, anon sadasasdasd 🤍🤍 I just love those two so much 😭

That being said, as far as long fics for Marcsteven go, it's unfortunately slim pickings with how tiny this fandom is *SOBS* (nearly all my faves are WIPS that haven't updated in a year or more ;-----;). So if you're okay with me defining "long fic" as fics 20k or over, here are my personal finished faves!

Adjustments by Nagem and its Marcstevenjake sequel, Waiting Room. Ughhhh I was obsessed this pair when they came out.

All this time I was waiting for you by Nakimochiku. Just Marc and Steven being pinning oblivious idiots with slowly simmering sexual tension ;) Also I loved everything Moon knight related by this author, i read their stuff again and again all the time <3

If you don't mind expanding your horizons to include Marcstevenjake, definitely give In the Aftermath series by Queenie a try (or at least the first three Marcsteven-only fics in the series).

What the Right Hand is Doing by Erinptah was such a gem (and try out their Cover by Knight series if you like Moon knight crossovers with other MCU characters. Now THAT'S a long fic [series])

Love Song for a Deadman and The Measure of Things by friight. Actually one of the few fics on here that actually reach past 50k ^u^;; And both are so good!!!

See Through My Act, Tell Me I'm Wrong by snapdragonpop007 is a fandom favorite, and another author whose MK work I will always devour <3

All the Ashes of Our Days, As If it Were the Last Time and Until You Drown all written by MitchieSawyer, and they're some of my favorites fics that have come out within the last year, a year that has otherwise been nearly dead for Marcsteven fic. {Ashes made me sob !!!] And their current WIP, The Less I Give, the More I Give Back, is a wonderful arranged marriage fic, with Marc and steven's contrasting approaches to their Jewish heritage a main focus, and has been updating more or less every week!!!!

And ... if like I said you're willing to give polycule Marcstevenjake a shot.... and take a chance on a WIP.... you really really should check out Miles From Nowhere by fishtrombone. Anon, I am OBSESSED with this fic. It hasn't been out a full year yet and it's already at 350k!!!! Technically the longest fic in the fandom and still more to come!!! Marc, Steven, Jake split into separate bodies and stranded in America, bottlenecked in a run down cabin and navigating their complex relationships as the apocalypse looms!! Angsty as shit! Possibly one of my favorite fics of all time, this fic has pulled me along the full spectrum of human emotions the writing is almost painfully beautiful at times, the characterization is spot on {and yes reccing because I need more people to read this fic and give it kudos and encouragement <3)

And in case you didn't see, here's my previous marcsteven rec post where I rec marcsteven fics under 500 kudos !

Hope this helps, Anon :D

[scarletmultiverse]

Can I request preferences (or headcanons, I don't know which 😅) for Wanda, Zooey, and Taylor about them having a crush on you and how they would get your attention?

ANON! You're such a gem for asking me exactly these three characters, 'cause they're my ultimate favessss!!! Thank u &lt;3

Here we go!

(I honestly don't know how to call this type of story too, people used to say preference before, but I think since fics became "popular" they started to call them headcannons and it is official since then... Anyway!)

Enjoy!

Got any request! Just send me an ask, I'll try to do my best!

----------------------------------

they have a crush on you...

Wanda Maximoff

wanda thinks and works hard when it comes to getting people's attention.

she doesn't want to be misunderstood again like she did in lagos, so any subtle signs that she's going to have a crush on you, she'd work hard to figure out how to ease the tension.

i feel like wanda is, above all, very insecure, and shy when it comes to romantic gestures. she doesn't want you suffering or having doubts about what she feels.

she would DEFINITELY try classic manipulation of her magic, just to make sure the silliest tricks she can pull off with chaos magic would get her attention.

literally, as soon as she sees you on the way, she'll try to levitate something to impress you (and hide her fingers so it doesn't look like she's trying too hard.)

oh, and DEFINITELY try to read your mind to make sure you feel the same way about her.

"oh, hey, (y\n), would you mind telling me what you think of me, no hard feelings?"

Zooey Kern

(can we take a minute just to appreciate how STUNNING lizzie as zooey looks? god i love this woman and her beauty…okay, coming back!)

zooey is sincere and direct, to a certain extent.

she doesn't want you to get mixed up in the mess that is her life, especially after she's practically become part of ben's family.

but she is sure of her feelings and wants you to have a chance to know they exist at least.

she'll start to introduce the subject in casual conversation, something that doesn't necessarily have to do with feelings. and she'll be pretty blunt about telling you that she's into you.

I don't know why, but I see zooey writing those typical high school notes, only with snippets of music instead of just words. only, with lyrics from her emo and rock songs, of course.

"the point is, I'm into you and I don't know how to deal with it. now what, (y\n)?"

Taylor Sloane

I don't even need to mention how obvious taylor is, right?

she has nothing to hide, nothing at all.

there's a good part of her that still thinks about her reputation and how her audience of fans would care about that, but at the same time, she's very relaxed and doesn't care about people's opinions.

but when it comes to you, it is precisely obvious. she doesn't let it slip for a minute that there's something going on between you and wants to look like she's right about how she feels.

deep down, she knows she is.

from purposeful touching to one-liners in normal conversation, she just wants you to know that she's into you and that's it.

and it gets worse when she's high or drunk (most of the time since you're friends and she can do whatever she wants away from ezra's eyes.)

oh, and of course, she would make a point of teasing you for fun with your reaction, especially when it comes to fashion.

"how this dress looks on me, (y\n)? and why are you blushing like that?"

How do we- how do we feel about longan and a siren reader.. silly little idea 😋

『INSP BY THE CONTORTIONIST AND IF YOU DONT KNOW THAT SONG….. GO LISTEN TO IT NOW 👹 also I really like this idea ngl! I made some hcs for it if you don’t mind. 💜』

longan dragon cookie w a siren s/o (afab)

bakers notes // imo this made me legit think of like… like sea fairy or black pearl. So since this is a siren thing there’s probs gonna be some ties between black pearl and the s/o (also @m00r3-starzz and or @ask-the-longan-dragon may place me in super hell (💜) after this.) also I’m still coming for either a random anon or @windlotus

tw i guess // hypnosis bc siren. Also it’s just a tad bit suggestive due to the nature of sirens, and the song… so… yk.

what makes you think that they haven’t or have not encountered one? For fucks sake, look, their palace literally floats above the Pacific Ocean.

They’ve seen Black Pearl Cookie at some point, and they know who Sea Fairy is… if anything seeing a siren would just take them back…

Your glistening tail under the moonlight and the reflection of the water on your gills… like a shining gem in their hoard.

Your singing would bounce through their air, into the nightly current floating around the golden palace.

Longan knows what you want. They aren’t dumb. Sirens sing for souls— for blood and food. And they are aware that Dragon’s Blood is well sought out after not just by vampires, but sorcerers and mages for its benefits and health properties.

They try to ignore you to the best of their abilities. But after a while it gets hard not to go out.

But when you sing so beautifully,

“Twisted all my limbs for you. Two of them in knots and two of them in loops. Ribbons tied around like a noose… wonder if I'll ever get it loose.”

Mmm, so smoothly…

“I don't wanna bruise for you. Holding back my words until my face is blue (huh!) I don't really care about your crew. You can tell 'em what you wanna do.”

You get into their head and make them internally spin around in a dizzy circle when you make your voice sound like that for them…

“Pushin me, lovin me, pulling me, fuckin me, crushin me, touchin me… aah!~”

Eventually they bite their lip and follow you, their eyes a dull gold. Their grey complexion now reflecting somewhat of a warmer tone in their cheeks. Aimlessly walking towards you, the click clacks of their feet across ivory tile floor as they go in and out…

They walk out to a terrace to eye you like a vulture, looking down at you, golden eyes now agleam in the dark of night. Yet they hold some kind of want…

They want you in their palace. But that’s impossible. If you’re akin to Black Pearl, you wouldn’t be able to survive above water… at least… not for long.

But that doesn’t mean that they can’t come to you, despite knowing the possible dangers that lead up to that. But ah hell, they could defeat you in a fight easily. The temptation of floating down to you was forming in their legs.

They must show restraint and willpower however.

Oh…

Twisting all my bones like screws. Stretching my self worth, just like you usually do. Caught you like the cold or a flu (achoo!) Praying that I'll someday be immune.

Here we go again…

Got me like a bad tattoo… always under skin, even when it gets removed. Never got a chance to undo… positions that you forced my way into.

Ugh! Their breath just quickened… mouth watering… of course, they don’t let you see that. That’s all internal. But they’re internally foaming at the mouth. Truly miserable.

But they do anyway. They step up to the terrace and graciously float downward. They have a small lump in their throat that tightens. They feel hot— but a comfortable kind of heat soars through them.

As you bummed you put a webbed finger under their chin, the intensity of eye contact not seeming to phase you. You smile… sickly sweet towards them…

“Sing. Sing weakling.”

They grow to crave it nightly— like a drug. Your soft sweet voice not looking to harm them, but to please them. And when push comes to shove, as it sometimes does…

There’s… other ways they can make you sing.

And sometimes, after you actually do, you continue to do so going on further in the youth of the night.

But the singing they make you do… isn’t singing. If you catch me…

[moonjxsung]

hi star, it's currently 10:55 pm for me as i write this, and im scared to think we're only an hour and five away from 2025.

2024 has been an intense year for all of us, and im sure you took it pretty hard as well. i remember first finding your blog early to mid 2023 ish and then finding the courage to send an anon ask on your tumblr blog back in 2023 around late november for the first time, and i've been sticking with you since. it felt surreal going into 2024 headfirst, and it was even more surreal when you came back after your break in january, and i feel like we've built a pretty decent bond for the time we've known each other (it's been over a year now, holy.) star, (i swear this isn't some suicide note or marriage proposal as much as it's about to sound like one) from every song recommendation or speech and debate rant, or even just picture dumps ive sent you on discord, you've always replied back with such enthusiasm and effort that i absolutely love and adore. you have one of the most beautiful souls to exist, and please don't forget that through every harsh moment or happy tear. i truly mean this as a compliment when i say this, but i picture you as such a raw, unpolished human being. as much as it may feel weird to hear it in your perspective, but i feel like you're the epitome of an hidden uncut gem in it's most finest definition. you're not sugarcoated or too brutally honest, but your personality gives off some vibe of an in-between, and i mean it as a good thing. you are genuinely one of the most beautiful human beings i believe i have ever met, and i am so glad to have been able to know you for the time we have. your writing is absolutely gorgeous, and your very replies and enthusiastic messages are always filled with effort and passion. i think your talent to put things into words is genuinely stunning, because even your tumblr replies seem to have so much of your personality drained in them. it's hard to see people put genuinely this amount of pure effort into things, and it's so motivating to see you do it. you seriously give me a zeal to live. 2024, has been a rough year for all of us (i'm sure) and i know for a fact it wasn't too smooth of a ride for you either. so i'm here to hope that as we face the new year (for the umpteenth time!) as time strikes down to it's very last seconds of 2024, we're all able to reflect back on ourselves and so much of the world around us and face another brand new year together. this is the second new year i face with you and i'm so glad to be able to share this moment with one of the most beautiful souls i know. thank you soso much for the 1+ year we've shared together, and i hope there's more to come. i'm looking forward to anything and everything yet to see for 2025! happy new years. ~《☘》 finished 11:19.

My sweet dear lovely clover anon. I’m replying to this as my animal crossing villagers celebrate the new year on my island, and I’m fully in tears at this message. I could not have wished for a kinder message to ring in the new year.

First off- I can’t believe that this is our second new year together???? It’s hard for me to even fathom that I was on this blog in 2023. The time is slipping away from me and every so often I’m reminded that I’ve been here for a little longer than I can properly remember now. What a blessing and a lucky little thing to be able to call you a friend. From hearing about all your speech and debate tournaments, receiving all your pinterest selfies (guys, TRUST ME when I say clover anon is beautiful), hearing about all your final exams and getting the loveliest messages on my blog from you, it’s been nothing short of completely fulfilling to have you in my life. I am so blessed to have crossed paths with you in any capacity, and I’m even luckier to have the established friendship we now have. I truly think that you came into my life for a reason, and every single message we exchange only solidifies the overwhelming love I have for you. I am so, so, so lucky to know you.

It’s been a hard year for sure, and sometimes I’m scared at how quickly the time progresses. I often find myself wondering what this blog will be like just a year from now, what the state of my fangirl life will be, even if I still opt to write fanfiction later down the line. But what I do know is that the friendships I’ve created on here are forever, even if my blog is not. Please know that I’m always in your corner to lend an ear (or receive pinterest model selfies), in this year and the next and hopefully a lifetime after that. Unfortunately you are STUCK with me.

I have no doubt that this is going to be your year. Academic success, financial success, friendships, love- you’re so deserving of all those things, and you’re somebody who put out so much good this year. You’re bound to get it back tenfold. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for you in 2025 ♥️

I love you endlessly- thank you for every little interaction we’ve ever had and for being the most remarkable human being. Here’s to an amazing year full of love and light. I love you my clover, you know where to find me always 👼☘️💓

2025 clover anon’s year. I’m calling it now !

[trashsketch]

What do you like about Killua and Gon as characters and what don't you like/make you sad? What kind of development could there be for both of them? Songs that are associated with them ( Togashi has his own lmao playlist) ? Who will be taller in height ?

anon they make me insane :'D What i love about them is what makes me very sad too hdkfjdkfj i think a lot about how they are both very much willing to die for each other, i still can't believe that's canon and it happened

I don't know if I want them to show up again in the manga as its ongoing right now, I feel like they're safe doing their own thing until they have to appear again (and Killua is more likely gonna show up again first because the story might tie back to Nanika because she originated from the dark continent). As for what kind of development I hope to see for them...maybe a reunion for them where they both come to terms with what happened during the chimera ant arc. lots of things could happen! lots of them have already been written in fics (and my god, the fics are so good. this is what you get for shipping a popular ship in an old fandom: years and years of gems to read at your own time. I love it here)

One song I associate with both of them is the entire 3 part song of the Lightning Strike by Snow Patrol, I drew fanart of some verses from the first part, but a whole 3 part story is in my head when I listen to it....from a dream that Gon has of seeing Killua shrouded in lightning, to a memory Killua has of following Gon back to whale island for the first time, to an eventual reunion when they grow older :') I will....revisit this idea someday i swear

but anyway these lyrics?

And in the middle of the flood, I felt my worth When you held onto me like I was your little life raft Please know that you were mine as well

...they make me go apeshit!!!!! this is 100% how i view killugon's dynamic. this 14min song is very self indulgent. i hope you too have a song that you associate with killugon that is highly self indulgent and makes you scream

Also hands down I think killua's gonna be taller. all I do is look at silva and ging! even if we consider gon-san's height, i still think killua's gonna be a smidge taller as they age.

12, 17, 38

12. What's some good advice you want to share?

Most definitely to listen to this annoying voice in your head whenever you have to make a decision - it's a different voice from the one that is a mean fucker. It actually knows what's best for you, it just takes years to learn how to listen to it.

Treat other people like you would like to be treated yourself - simple, but it's so good to go by that philosophy in life.

Cherish your friends, don't put anyone aside because they might be gone quicker than you expect.

17. Name 3 things that make you happy

My close family (parents) and my friends (mutuals are included here too) - this is consider by me as one, because my friends are my family as well

Music - mainly good drumming *points at Keith Moon* THIS GUY'S ESPECIALLY

Warm, spring weather - it's like that today, loving it so far <3

38. Fave song at the moment

I consider it to be the one I come back to frequently now... I'm literally humming a few songs per day, but if I had to chose one, I think it would be this:

I've bought this gem of a CD blindly, not knowing a single song and this is a hidden masterpiece. That guitar, man, ROGER'S VOICE, DUDE!

Thank you for asking, dear anon <3

[laurzvahll]

for the rockstar phos au, what's the equivalent of the winter arc here? whats going to happen to antarc, and will it give phos ptsd and hallucinations like in canon?

HELLO ANON!! Thank u for the ask😆😆 answering from my phone rn because I didn’t want to wait.

This post might get long so im gonna cut it here

ALRIGHT, a little bit on Antarc and the winter arc. Just a warning that characters might be a little ooc im trying my best LOL. This isn’t 100% set in stone, and if people have better suggestions or ideas I will be very glad to hear them considering I just thought of this AU for funsies so the routes I made up may not be the best there are. If that makes sense.

So, initially I wanted Phos to be invited by Dia to a holiday party or maybe just a normal house party towards the beginning of December. All the college gems are celebrating being on winter break and whatnot. Phos goes because I don’t think Phos would reject a party invite, but also because it’s mentioned that there’s a possibility Cinnabar might be there. Spoiler alert, Cinnabar is in fact not at the party. But it’s okay because Phos takes this as an opportunity to get to know others more. They’re having quite a bit of fun, but once the other ‘gems’ start asking if they’re going to submit their college application and join them, Phos avoids the questions and decided to ask Dia if there’s a quiet room where they could take a quick break.

Dia leads Phos to the room and Phos closes the door behind them, only to realize there’s already someone else there too! And this is none other than Antarc, who im thinking of making some sort of exchange student to explain why they’re only around some months of the year. Phos sits down somewhere and wants to start a conversation but Antarc looks very busy (on their phone, totally busy). But Phos starts talking anyway after being bored for a couple seconds, and while Antarc is very hesitant at first, it’s not long before they both end up moving to a small couch in the room to continue their conversation. I’d like to think they talked for hours, Phos doing most of the talking ofc but Antarc seemed content with it. At some point, Dia comes back in surprise to see them still here and lets them know that the party is over. Phos says they better walk back to their apartment, and Antarc offers to walk them so Phos wouldnt have to walk home alone at like 3 in the morning. So they walk to Phos's apartment and Phos offers to exchange numbers. And thats pretty much how their first meeting goes! :3

I have a bunch of little scenarios thought out for the time they spent together but i dont want the post to get tooo long so just know that im thinking Phos's help towards Antarc's 'work' would be helping Antarc write a song maybe perhaps NOT TOO SURE YET but i do want this AU to revolve a lot around music :p

As for what happens to Antarc, (THIS MAY CHANGE) sorry guys but in my AU i am NOT letting Antarc die i cannnottt. But i Will let Phos believe Antarc is absolutely dead. The only reason im not letting them die completely is bc i want them to come back like at the end of canon where theyre turned into a lunarian. Im not entirely sure how im going to go about it, but theres going to be an incident where Phos and Antarc will get hurt, and Phos will only be able to watch unable to help Antarc at all just like in canon. Antarc is going to disappear, most likely to a hospital lawl, and the accident will make them have to go back home without Phos even knowing if they survived. For a reason i havent yet decided, Phos's texts cant reach Antarc either so that rly makes them believe Antarc issss x_x.

Phos's mental health plummets, their guilt is immense and they start not being able to sleep because when they do sleep their dreams are filled with that accident replaying over and over. They always believe to see Antarc out of the corner of their eye, and they do have full on hallucinations like in canon and their ptsd, i will not erase that important part of their character 🙏

Thats pretty much it for now sorry this is so long i rly didnt think it was gonna be this long LMAOOO. thank u sm for the ask im very happy to be able to talk about my AU xP

[simbelmyne20niniel]

Hello, I humbly apologize for not sending you an ask yesterday. Your Santa was so exhausted after a whole week that I couldn't understand English correctly. But I'm back in business! And don't worry, I can wait, I understand that you have life outside tumblr 💜

It really is if you're that much into linguistics. I wish you the best of luck if you decide to do a Master's degree!

It's like a serial number for a book, so every book and journal won't get lost. ISBN is like an ID number 😆 Oh yes, Poland is a beautiful place. Once we're off anon I can show you my place a bit. I have a bunch of photos if you'd be interested! This is the first time I hear about this woman, but hey, I'm glad you enjoy her videos, haha!

Look at that, David made another good thing, I'm so happy that Kate had such a good start! I'm not that much into Kate's music, but what you say about her albums and the colors is really interesting. Wouldn't ever think about it this way. Yep, Kate had so much fun with the photos, that's why they are timeless!

Oh, three more bands in common, nice!

Nope I didn't, I don't have Disney+, plus (haha) I need time to get into The Beach Boys more. Third year of university is so time consuming and energy draining that by the end of the week I just want to play some games or watch a movie and forget about everything. But thank you for telling me about this documentary, I'll just borrow my bestie's account and watch it in the future.

Another Moonie fan?! OMG, YES! I so agree with you that Keith and Bonzo are the best drummers of the past century and in all honesty I still haven't heard a better drummer than them. I love Keith's laugh so much, omg, there are a few fragments where he laughs circling on tumblr and I watch them a few times in a row whenever I see them 🫠

Hahaha, I've stumbled upon this audio in the last month when I was in a state of "I need to see and hear more of him" so I went on YouTube and found this gem. Honestly, only Keith could come up with such a gem of a comedy!

What else do I like about The Who - besides Keith and his drumming, damn, that's a difficult question 😂 In all honesty, there is a lot that I like about them:

lyrics - I'm someone who doesn't listen to lyrics, I pay most attention to drums, but The Who's lyrics are on another level. I think the best example of that is the entirety of "Quadrophenia" - the way this album speaks to me on a personal level, I've never encounter something like this before. And if not this album, then there are fragments of lyrics in songs that I like. For example "Who Are You" has a wonderful fragment that I love, "Love is Coming Down" is beautiful from beginning to end 🥹

Roger's voice - he's a strong second favorite vocalist of mine, his voice has just the range that I love. I really can't explain it

their stupid behavior on stage - I find two things hilarious about them. First is the fact that everyone goes bonkers and John is like "I'll stay here, no one will hurt my bass" and second can be summed up with this: "There's the entire freak vibe of The Who, but atop all this is Keith Moon". The things he did on stage are so funny, I love every second he's shown on camera - I even love his drunk mumbling when he constantly interrupts Pete when he's talking. I always remember the fragment where Pete was talking about something and Keith was like "You're not going clubbing with me, not with this outfit, you look like a bloody plumber" I love this guy so much, you have no idea

Tommy - yes, this gets a separate paragraph, because of two things (again). First, they made a musical out of it (as in there's a movie) and second, Keith Moon as Uncle Ernie. I said to myself a year and a few months ago that it's the end of me falling in love with fictional characters, but he happened and I ended up loving this pervert to the point of a writing a fic with self-insert with him, I'm that obsessed - Keith is making miracles happen, I'm telling ya

Anything else you like about The Who, perhaps? 👀

Ah yes, Labyrinth! I remember watching this movie once and I was charmed by Bowie, literally! The way you portray David is beautiful. He was all about what you're saying and yes, he was humble. I may not be a big fan of his, but from the small interviews I've seen of him he seemed to be a really nice guy who was always crossing the boundaries - which is good, society shouldn't put limits on you in any way. The part about pleasing people is so real. It's better to be yourself than to try to make people around like you.

"Any Led Zeppelin concert" is such a mood of an answer!!! It might be possible to lose hearing after that, but it would be so worth it!

As for today's question: Tell me what you like about The Beach Boys, Def Leppard and The Doors. I'm genuinely curious!

I completely understand you!! Last week and today were heavy at my workplace, full of things to do and helping with the "Christmas Carols" event. But now I can finally breathe. Yes, please!!! I'd be more than happy to see all those pictures!!

Yeah, I totally recommend it (the documentary) to you. I learned facts I didn't know about. "Help Me Rhonda" is a great song!!! The other songs you mentioned are cool too!! For me, "God Only Knows" is the one that lives rent-free in my head. The lyrics, the music, the harmonization, all those sounds combined are just perfect. 

I know that if he were still alive, Moon would have been a special guest on RuPaul's Drag Race. I believe I know which Tumblr post you're referring to. Moon was messy and goofy, so chaotic xD. I love watching "Who Are You" video, how Moon is laughing with the others, and the fact that he had to stick with tape the headset tells you what a beast he was with the drums! I like this video of  Moon, I think it was so nice of him to do that for the kids.

Yes Moon and the "plumber" joke HAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHH He was right on that, tho... hahahahahhah "You look like you've come to mend the electricity". He had a great wit for making jokes. Again, if he were still alive he would do a lot of shitpost on his social media hahahahhaha.

What I like about The Who... let me start from what you wrote.

We both have "Quadrophenia" on the same level. That album is peak, PEAK!!! "Who's Next" is my second favorite album by them. I agree with you about their lyrics. Townshend and the others did a great job on that. And yes, TOMMY is just a masterpiece. I think that the evolution in their lyrics shows that they were trying to do something more than just songs, they started to write around a concept that led them to this great rock opera, that is Tommy. Tommy is ageless, and keeps inspiring younger generations. Like Green Day, they took Tommy as one of their inspirations when they were working on the "American Idiot" album.

Their behavior hahaahhahahhaha, I love them so much for that. YES!!! John, most of the time, was so calm on stage. I like him that much because of that!!! I once read that he had really hard chords on the bass. From what I see, he made them look easy. He is one of the bassists I like the most. "There's the entire freak vibe of The Who, but atop all this is Keith Moon" facts!!!!

Roger's voice and hair are cultural heritage of rock

And I need to read that fanfic!!!

Songs I love:

Behind Blue Eyes

Who Are You

Squeeze Box

The Real Me

This scene, this gown, this song...... are one of my Roman Empire

From Def Leppard is the sound of guitars, I like them!!! They're so 80s'. When I'm cleaning or going to work, they're one of the bands I choose to listen to. Their sound is so vibrant. My favorite member, Rick Allen, plays drums with passion and with a great sound and is an inspiration <3 

From The Doors... Jim, He was at the moment when people were trying hard to make a change in society. He embraced all this counterculture, all this psychedelia and put it in his work. He was talented in his writing skills.

This is a moodboard I made this year, but I totally forgot to post it until today hahaha.

What do you like about The Doors and Def Leppard? What other bands do you like?

[lunarblazes]

I'd love to request pearl and grian shenanigans if that's ok :3 I'm a skyblings lover, what can I say 🙃

-leaf anon 🍂

on a hostile stars kick i guess adjfhdgfkdjg sorry leaf anon if this isnt what you wanted but i realized they never actually. did the patron thing. so i wrote it DJFKHGDKJHG spoilers for late at night when the stars don't look quite right!

(this one is honorarily called scarecrow bones after a crane wives song hehe)

About a week after the big fight, Grian and Pearl sat down in the kitchen for the first time. Grian had been in and out of consciousness for most of the week, occasionally stumbling down the stairs to drink the bare minimum amount of water while Pearl patrolled the woods around her base to make sure nothing would surprise them.

They were a little preoccupied, so it wasn't really wholly their fault for forgetting possibly the most important takeaway from the fight: they weren't bonded yet. Pearl never completed the ritual. In all honesty, she'd forgotten. Just a bit.

She wasn't paranoid, per se. She preferred the term careful.

Grian still felt terrible by the seventh day, but he'd stopped slipping in and out of fever dreams and nightmares (skewed far more towards the latter), so he figured he should check on Pearl. She was standing on the porch, her hand still idly drumming on her sword. He cleared his throat (which he was still slightly surprised he could actually do).

Pearl nearly jumped out of her skin at the noise, whirling around and immediately pinning him to the wall with her sword. Grian flinched and ducked instinctively, rolling out of the way as Pearl registered who he was and dropped her blade.

Both of them scrambled to opposite ends of the porch.

"Sorry, sorry! Sorry--"

"Jeez, Gri, don't do that to me, I--"

"--I didn't know you were focused on something! Sorry--"

"--I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were here, it was an overreaction--"

They clamped their mouths shut at the same time, realizing they were talking over each other. Pearl nodded to him.

"You first."

"No, you--"

"C'mon, mate, we can't both be this terrible at conversation. You start."

"Um. I just wanted to say hi, I guess? Make sure you were doing okay out here."

"Oh." Pearl straightened, gingerly picking up her sword from the floorboards. "Well, I'm okay! Just keeping watch."

Grian blinked owlishly. "I know I'm not one to talk, but you seem a little, uh…"

"What?"

Exhausted, over-vigilant, hungry, feral. Things he had personal experience with. "Weird?"

Pearl huffed. "I'd be more concerned if I wasn't coming off weird, honestly."

"That's fair." Grian said awkwardly, clutching his knees to his chest.

A silence descended on the conversation. Grian scratched his cheek absently and stared out at the blue sky.

"Grian," Pearl said, "did we ever finish the ceremony?"

Grian stopped scratching his cheek. "…nope."

"Well. We should do that, probably."

"Yep." Grian's gaze snapped back to her face as he realized she'd been standing watch without the aid of respawn. He didn't know much about the godly patron deal, but he'd overheard her and Gem discussing respawn enough to infer about it, at least. "Like, now."

"You're feeling up to it?" Pearl looked surprised.

"Yep," Grian lied, hopping to his feet to prove his point and hiding the wince it sent through his ribcage with what he hoped was a winning smile.

Pearl rubbed her eyes. Gods, she really did look tired. Briefly, Grian considered that this didn't sound like the best or most fleshed out plan to ever exist. He considered telling Pearl to take her turn with the bed and insisting they wait until she felt better. He considered telling her that her judgement probably wasn't sound and neither was his.

Grian said nothing and allowed himself to be sat down in the kitchen. Pearl yawned slightly as she stretched herself out in her chair. She was quite a lot taller than him, actually, a few inches at least. Grian didn't know why he took note of that but it felt like a good moment for random observations about the person who was about to complete some kind of divine ceremony on him.

"So how does this work?" he asked, leaning forward to stare at her hands as if she'd just pull some magic artifact out of thin air.

"I need one of your feathers, actually," she said apologetically. "If you're not ready for that, I can wait a bit longer!"

Another opportunity for Grian to tell her this was a bad idea. He did not take it. Instead, he quickly reached to the back of his neck and plucked out one of the extra down feathers that lined his spine. Luckily, it was still a vibrant red when he handed it over to Pearl.

"Nah, I'm curious now," he heard himself say. And he was curious, very much so, but there was still a part of his brain convinced this would end very, very badly. He told it to shut up. Pearl knew what she was doing.

She blinked at him and took the feather gently, finally laying her sword down on the table to cup the feather in her hands.

"So, I'm gonna say your name--your Name name--and we're gonna decide on the terms of the contract. Then you'll give me a bit of your immortality and I'll give you my loyalty," Pearl explained, "something like that. That sound good?"

Grian considered it. He owed Pearl his life multiple times over, and she was a very funny lady. He could probably do much worse. She could probably do much better among the ranks of the gods in terms of power, but he'd distantly heard how happy she was when discussing the prospect with Gem, so…

"Yeah," he said softly, "I think I could do that. I don't know how much I'll have to give you, but I'll do my best."

"Wouldn't want anythin' else from ya," Pearl said, grinning, and cleared her throat. "Alright, um, Grian Firebringer, Phoenix, Trickster of Ash… the Lost, the Branded--the Golden."

It was strange to have someone speak words that you knew and have them wrap so completely around your head. Every word out of Pearl's mouth sunk into his skin like warm rays of sunlight. It felt good to be seen, to be acknowledged, even as she hesitated on the last titles. Grian knew they were probably bad words by the way she said them, ones that had a meaning, but they just felt like parts of him. He knew this was his name. It wasn't just his name, either, it was him, spoken into existence through insignificant phrases, none of which had true meaning. To him, they were all that was left of who he once was. Grian was surprised to feel a sense of distant nostalgia bubble up in his chest as he processed the words.

Almost on autopilot, he responded, "that's me. What is your wish?"

"I wish for you to give me some of your divinity," Pearl said, her voice almost equally effortless. "I would keep it safe in turn, and it would protect my people and my home."

"I can--"

--the room tilts as the words leave his mouth, he grips the table as images fill his vision--

She stares at him expectantly, her typically serious eyes full of mirth. He doesn't know what he did. His mouth is dry.

What's happened? She's happy. He did something good, then, he's--

--a gate opens--

Something is shifting inside his chest, he can feel it bend and snap and move. It's not replacing anything already there, just adding something new, another aspect of his being. He can't help but wonder about what his identity looks like if this is enough to change him so fundamentally and there's stars above and fire burning behind the--

Rivers, lakes, oceans, every pond and stream, glowing and blessed, the ash and the ember always cursed, why is there a gate? The gate is closed. Open? What should it be?

He remembers seeing the gate. He remembers her standing beside him. He never knew her. Who is he? Where is she?

Something's wrong.

Grian was flung back into the present with a gasp as Pearl nearly fell out of her chair in front of him.

"I feel like," Pearl panted, running a hand down her face, "this is getting a little invasive."

"You saw that?" Grian asked. "Good to know I'm not crazy, I guess?"

"We have to figure out something to help that noggin of yours," Pearl said. "You're…"

"Leaking?" Grian suggested. He grimaced. "Nevermind, that sounds terrible."

"Yeah, no, we're not saying that," Pearl said.

"Well, technically they're not even my memories, if it makes you feel better," Grian offered. "If I don't remember them, legally they're someone else's. And he's dead, so you can't invade on his privacy, can you?"

Pearl stared at him awkwardly. "I think maybe referring to your past self as dead is not a great coping mechanism."

"Neither is running yourself ragged standing on the porch waiting for something to put us in danger so you can feel safe," Grian responded thoughtlessly. He paused. "Wait, that was too real. Sorry."

"Eh," Pearl shrugged. "It's fair."

"Are we gonna try to finish this?" Grian nudged the feather, still glowing in Pearl's cupped hand.

"Oh, right, yeah," Pearl said. "We should be good now, I think you just have to, like… do some godly stuff to the feather to make it permanent, and then I keep it as a token."

Grian frowned. "I don't know how to do that."

"Wave your hands and say a funny word," Pearl suggested helpfully. "That's what Gem does, it usually works out for her."

"I can try that," Grian said. He waved his hands over the feather in what he hoped was a mystical enough way. "Alakazam?"

The feather began floating, humming softly, then settled back into Pearl's palm, its light dimming to a faint golden glow. Grian stared at it.

"Did it work?" he ventured cautiously.

"I dunno," Pearl said. She poked it with a finger. It kept glowing. "Think so?"

Grian stared at his hands. "I don't feel any different."

"Me neither." Pearl yawned rather unceremoniously.

"Go sleep," Grian said, trying not to sound patronizing. "I've been out for a week, it's been more than overdue."

"Yeah, yeah, I hear you," Pearl said, slowly standing from the table. Grian pretended not to see her take her sword with her upstairs. "Try not to die while I'm gone."

"Oh, please," Grian snorted, "I'm not helpless."

Pearl shot him a look.

"Not entirely helpless," he amended. "Don't worry about me. I'll be here."

Grian laid down by the fireplace, spreading out on his back in what he hoped was a reassuringly calm pose. He shot her two thumbs up signs. She sighed and headed up the stairs, her sword dragging behind her.

"Pesky bird," she muttered, and Grian smiled.

Hey how are you doing?

I have an idea and this time it’s not so gore

Well how about Genshin with Kaeya and other characters of your choice reaction to darling wanting to celebrate Christmas with the tree presents and everything

Hope you are doing fine and drink lots of water

-💧anon

okay but like that would be absolutely adorable

christmas time!

CW: SFW, genshin impact, cult au, yandere themes, self awareness, sagau

characters included!: kaeya, venti, childe

type of reader: god!reader, isekaied!reader, gn!reader,

kaeya

i personally have a head cannon wear kaeya is absolutely incredible at making snowmen. like come on, cryo man and dragonspine together = snowman honestly just wanted to add that for brain rots. this thing.. christmas? it was a thing back in your world and it’s quite confusing for kaeya to understand. i mean why sit under a tree and pass around gifts? but alas, he says yes. gifts around the tree, all for you. i mean you are their god. kaeya is there next to you waiting for you to open his gift. remember that thing you really really wanted??? thats right! he got it for you! he also got pretty stones and gems. honestly seeing that smile on your face makes his year. so yes next time he will definitely say yes next time when you want to celebrate! it doesn’t have to be christmas either!!

childe

childe is like. from a nation of basically blankets of snow all around! so you’d probably think they would have something to do with christmas right? well your right! i personally think that childe would steal you away ask zhongli to have you come over to his house. all of the family members there. (by all i mean tuecer and his other sister, we aren’t including the parents here.) anyways, it’s probably his favorite time of the year with you, no actually any day with you is his favorite time of the year. singing christmas theme songs and eating chocolate chip cookies baked to perfection by yours truly. it’s beginning to look a lot like christmas am i right?

venti

no no. venti already KNOWS before you even tell him. i mean he has kind of.. uhm. stalked you on your phone. BUT ITS FOR SAFTEY. so yes nearing christmas you see… snow??? wait monstadt can snow? huh. never seen that before. only in dragonspine! apparently venti asked mrs. snow (the tsritsa) herself to make snow rain upon monstadt. it took a while since he didn’t want her to be included and just wanted you to himself… but.. we can set that aside! the BIGGEST christmas tree. like the ones in new york city. and hidden gifts in the tree branches way to high for you to reach. but i mean like at least you can take a piggy back ride on venti!

sorry for not posting everyone </3 christmas arises and i am taking a plane to see my family! (yes im fully vaccinated with the booster shot and still double mask.)

kirozai out!!!

Self-Rec Whenever

Thank you to @maesterchill for the tag! See her wonderful self-recs here

Recommend us 3 of YOUR fics: 1 that is “most popular” and 2 that are “hidden gems.” Then tag some folks.

Most Popular: The Love You Find (13.6k, E)

This is the most popular by both hits and kudos. This was my Drizzlefest fic, and will always hold a special place in my heart as my first anon fest, first completed multi-chapter, first fic over 10K, AND first smut! The premise is that Harry and Draco have been Auror partners for the past ten years, and Draco suddenly announces he's taking a year off to travel. Meanwhile Harry gets himself seriously injured and is dragged along on Draco's Australian roadtrip. Cue much pining, thirsting after Beach Draco, Australian scenery and fluff (and smut).

Excerpt:

“If you’re trying to get rid of me, I’m afraid you’re out of luck,” Draco teased, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “I am quite determined to stay until you have recovered enough to come with me.”

“Come with you?” Harry spluttered, completely caught off guard. 

“Of course,” Draco replied. “I apparently can’t leave you unsupervised, and the Healers want you to take at least six months off work to recuperate. So, you’re coming with me.”

“Draco, I—” Harry stumbled over his words, unable to believe that Draco was serious. “I can’t just impose on you like that. You’re meant to be exploring, discovering yourself. I’ll hold you back.”

“Harry.” Draco fixed him with a stern glare. “You cannot heal properly in this miserable London smog. Plus, you are just as due a holiday as I am. You’re coming with me, even if I have to tie you up and drag you along.”

Harry deliberately did not let his brain follow that train of thought. 

“Fine. But don’t complain when you don’t like it!”

(Gah, it's so hard to pick hidden gems!)

Hidden Gem 1: Til The End of The Night (684, T)

I wrote this for the song "Holding Out For A Hero" and it was my first foray into anything that wasn't just pure fluff. It's entirely Harry-centric, but while writing it I pictured Draco being the one to come and "save" Harry, who is suffering from anxiety and PTSD two years post war. At this point I had never written drarry before! I do have the very beginnings of a multi-chap "sequel" to this fic, maybe it will get done some day!

Excerpt:

Hero.

It was such a strange word, Harry thought as he placed a tea bag into his mug. That’s all the public wanted to call him these days, Hero. Either that or Saviour. He wasn’t sure which was worse. 

Perhaps, he mused as he poured the boiling water into his mug, tremors causing the water to splash across the benchtop, the worst part wasn’t the words themselves, but the fact that the public was truly convinced of what they saw. All they could see was their Hero, their Saviour. The Boy Who Lived, who defeated the Dark Lord.

Hidden Gem 2: Like This, My Beloved (996, T)

I wrote this for the wonderful @gallifrey1sburning for wheel of drarry, and it's just 1k of 1st person Harry POV fluff. It follows their relationship post war, and it's basically just Harry being obsessed with his man.

Excerpt:

I didn’t think I would see you again, after the war. Well, to be more accurate, I didn’t think I would ever interact with you after the war. Our world is too small for us to never cross paths again, but I pictured cold nods at Ministry galas or pretending to not see each other when lining up for the floo after a long day at work.

What I didn’t picture was you walking into the room that first day of Auror training, your face still pale from two months in Azkaban. I didn’t picture the quiet, “it’s ok, I can convert the old janitors closet to a bunk. I know no one wants me.”

I think I already knew, in that moment. I just didn’t know it yet.

What I did know, though, was that there was no way in Hell that you would be sleeping in a cupboard. Fucking Smith offered to move you in — nothing had felt so satisfying as feeling his nose break under my fist.

No-pressure tagging @phoebe-delia, @thebooktopus, @geesenoises, @saintgarbanzo, @academicdisasterfic, @rockingrobin69 and anyone else who wants to!

*comes on in tiredly, waves* Hullo there, OG Lustrous Anon here, how do you do today? I hope you’re faring well ^^

Have to agree with 2nd Lustrous Anon (Houseki Anon? Kingdom Anon since Houseki no Kuni literally translates to Kingdom of Jewels?), I did not expect for there to be three of us and for us to basically barge into your place with Starbucks and lore and discussing media you weren’t familiarized with, but I particularly find it hilarious even if I apologize for having you lost xD, also shout out to them and Shrimp for explaining how Inclusions work better than I could ever sleep deprivation or not, all I can say for certain is that they’re not hiveminds, I suppose you could say they work a lot like the human brain, but they’re a body wide network rather than just the organ, they’re what give gems their ability to think, move and have personalities and store memories, hence why every lost part of a Lustrous causes memory loss if it’s not put back, unless a gem is quite literally shattered into fragments then they won’t lose consciousness, hence why they don’t work like hiveminds do. Usually the quickest way to get a Lustrous unconscious is by breaking their heads off at the neck or shattering them into incomplete fragments, but as mentioned in some of my previous posts they can’t really be killed unless they’re ground to dust, affected by mercury since it kills the inclusions on them and those parts become dead weight, meaning where the mercury touched needs to be scrapped off and replaced if too severe, or dissolved, though the last case is very rare to ever happen as we only see it once in the series.

Anyway, delivering more Lustrous Reader shenanigans with the Chain because why not? XD, thinking of writing all of this down into stories on a separate blog one day or on ao3, though that’s a hard maybe. I'm not a good writer at all.

-Lustrous Reader immediately clocking Four and the Colors even when they don’t tell them anything because there’s a Lustrous with a similar case back home, and then just going “So, who’s fronting today and should I get anything different or...? Cause Wild was going to teach me that one nice cake recipe today but I could change a few things up.”, And then it’s either instant panic or Lustrous Reader being chill with the colors on their free time when they split, if asked why they’re so chill they just shrug and go “Ghost Quartz is the same back home, them and Cairngorm think they’re subtle, but there’s not really anything suble about their temperament going from quiet and nice to rivaling Blue’s temper and Vio’s tendency to say yes to violence on a good day. This is a cake walk.”

-Lustrous Reader twitching whenever they hear bells, because that’s usually the first sound you hear during a Lunarian attack, so they instinctively draw towards a member of the Chain whenever they hear one as if to defend them, it probably kind of reminds Warriors of how soldiers can have of very specific things after being in battle so long it they recognize it as a threat, so the next course of action is obvious next time they can: instrument introduction to see what likely might be a trigger and if hopefully continued exposure in small doses help, Lustrous Reader also won’t touch a flute with a ten foot pole, but they’d probably be interested in learning the ocarina or the harp. After a while it’s likely not uncommon for them to hear them humming songs they picked up from the Chain from time to time once they’re more comfortable, though it probably has a clinking and tinkling sound behind it, like how you’d tap a crystal just to see it ring, it’s very soft but it’s there. It’s nice but eerie if someone hears them in the middle of the night.

-Lustrous Reader, in Ordon or in Lon Lon Ranch, casually picking up unruly goats or helping Malon move cows with their bare hands, or just straight up picking up Wolfie to carry him around on their arms “What? Like it’s hard?”, meanwhile at least one Chain member is registering in full how strong they are in spite of looking delicate and falling in love. Or Lustrous Reader casually pulling a Wild and riding a Lynel into battle or wrestling one into submission because again, zero sense of self preservation and a lot of pent up spite means one is willing to do crazy things. Never let them, Wild, Hyrule, Wind and Flora on their own, they’re just as likely as to stop the shenanigans as to accidentally throw fuel into the fire.

-Whenever they’re in a Hyrule with a castle that can actually be used, I feel like Lustrous Reader is just immediately kidnapped by any and all present Zeldas, look their hair is literally made out of jewels and they can pull off any outfit, it’s prime opportunity for them to dress someone up who won’t mind and will only be mildly exasperated! Plus they can probably exchange battle tactics and cultural differences since Lustrous Reader lived for a long time, and their fighting style is more fast and acrobatic than anything Hyrule uses so it would be a good opportunity (you can’t tell me Artemis, or Dusk or Flora for that matter, wouldn’t want to learn from Lustrous Reader how they deflect arrows back onto enemies with their sword on instinct, if the Chain can learn it from them then so can they), Lustrous Reader probably wouldn’t mind since Red Beryl does the same to all Lustrous, they’d draw the line at anything related to jewelry (since Lunarians make Lustrous into jewelry and weapons decoration most of the time, this probably relates to why they’re wary of Ravio but rh sleep deprivation is failing me), but they’d pull off any clothes convincingly enough. I can see any member of the Chain accidentally stumble because they’re more use to seeing them with simple and practical clothes (since fun fact, all clothings Lustrous are basically patterned after mourning clothes, or those you’d see in a funeral for the most part apparently) and seeing them dressed up throws them for a loop. Also bonding times with Flora because I bet they’d be amused and willing to go along with all her experiments and bonding times with Sun over their shared trauma of being hunted down for who they are, even if on a different spectrum, and staying stuck in a place for thousands of years and unable to move, Sky is probably happy but concerned, maybe wanting to give them a hug and check in if they’re really doing good only to get this very mixed answer of “Yes/No”, meanwhile Time, Wild, Fierce Deity and First, with similar trauma, probably feel like they need more context and some names.

Also something I personally find hilarious is if Lustrous Reader, after hearing about the Links journeys, realizes they all usually start with them having people they love or care for kidnapped or taken away similar to how they always lose their fellow Lustrous to the Lunarians, points it out to the Chain and they just have something of a small existential crisis, or shared bonding time over that particular trauma.

... Now I have this in my mind about Demigod Readers and Lustrous Reader meeting somehow, and the Chain just having to deal with two unnaturally beautiful people who quite literally shine around the edges hitting it off and swapping battle tactics, it’s probably just the sleep deprivation and the headache talking though

-As for the arm thing...

Twilight, who canonically lost an arm and had it reattached in the manga, but that was his own arm not another person’s so he’s still horrified but not too shocked since he could immediately clock that they lost it somehow: Since when was this as surprise?

Lustrous Reader, tired and cracking from the stress: Trust me, no one would rather it be my own arm rather than me. I’d gladly be ground to dust a thousand times over if it meant it would get their original owner back and my partner. *Sighs, sits down* How much time do you all have? May as well explain about how I lost it and my eye while I can, plus about this nifty thing called inclusions and how losing body permanently parts causes amnesia.

And the Chain freaking out because what do you mean one of those eyes isn’t yours either?!

(I’ll honestly probably write it how I envision it went down in full from their perspective in another ask, this is getting long enough as is)

-Lustrous Reader learning to draw from Sky, has a bunch of pictures done of the Chain on the a second notebook separate from their historian one and, if they somehow manage to contact Little Lucky, sends a picture of themselves and the Chain together as a way to say they’re fine, Little Lucky is ecstatic even if wondering where they are even more. It probably leads to nice bonding times with Sky or them revealing to someone of the Chain that they’re drawing so that, even if they lose more parts, they won’t forget their time together easily. Or one of the Chain spotting a drawing of Lustrous Reader, fully whole with both their eye and arm, with Little Lucky and immediately see the resemblance between them all even if in the form of a jewel person, or they spot a drawing of Lustrous Reader, a Lustrous that looks suspiciously like Zelda but with blues and pinks and purples in her hair along with the usual gold, and someone who looks like them but with greens and blues along the gold, clearly a Lustrous as well, though it doesn’t look like Lustrous Reader style, more similar to their own and way on the back of their historian notebook. And then wondering what happened to their world would make two generations of the hero’s spirit appear so close to each other and know the same person, Lustrous having a different life span aside.

And I believe that is all for today, very sleep deprived and have a headache, week has been rough and not even coffee has been helping. Anyway, hope you’re having a nice day and thank you for all your hard work in the fandom!

-Just an Anon on A Stroll.

Anon- how long must you stolll for? XD

Take a nap. <3

I don't feel like I have much to add this time around. Very well rounded and bitter sweet in all the right place. Almost like a dark chocolate with raspberry filling. (I'm channeling a specific flavor but I'm sure if raspberry is the one I'm looking for.)

LUCKY.......My baby DX

He needs to know his sibs is ok. Send the pictures!!!!
