Miss You

Summary: You're homesick

You like Germany.

You know you like Germany.

You get to do lots of fun things like order for Morsa at restaurants because she can't speak German like you and play at the park on the monkey bars.

You're happy to be back in Germany.

But, sometimes, your tummy gets all tense and swirly and you get icky feelings that you can't quite shake off.

"What's up with you, huh?" Morsa teases as you hide behind her legs.

You'd been excited this morning. You get to train with the Bayern keepers but seeing them on the pitch suddenly made you nervous.

You've never really trained with people without Zećira before and that makes you nervous.

The three of them are talking amongst themselves as the coach sets up cones.

Your gloves are already on. You're wearing your special Bayern training top. Your boots are laced up.

But you won't move and Morsa isn't forcing you to either.

You stay rigid, planted firmly on the spot as Anna is caught in a headlock by Cecilía and forced to receive a noogie.

You rock on the balls of your feet and keep a tight grip on Morsa's shorts.

"I..." You tighten your grip and shuffle closer to Morsa until you're pressed up against her. "Morsa...I want to go home."

"In a few hours," Morsa promises you, running a gentle hand over the top of your head.

"No," You shake your head," Home-home. In London." Your bottom lip wobbles. "I want Zećira and-and Jessie and Niamh! And Australian Sam! And Millie an' Guro an' Erin!" You press your head against the back of Morsa's legs and sob. "Want Arsenal red! Not Bayern red! I want to go home!"

People are looking over now and Morsa picks you up, tucking your head into her neck so you can't see everyone staring.

Momma comes over from where she was speaking to Georgia and Scottish Sam.

"What happened?" Pernille asks," What's wrong?"

"She's feeling a little homesick," Magda whispers," I think it's sunk in that she can't practice with Zećira and it's all spiralled from there."

You sniffle as you run out of tears, chest rising and falling heavily.

Momma gently removes your keeper gloves and wipes the wetness from your face. She's got girl-swan and girl-moose in her hands and you take them.

They still smell a little like your house in London and it makes your tummy go all swirly again as you breathe in their smell.

"Do you still want to practice with the keepers?" Momma asks and you shake your head.

"Are you sure?" Morsa presses," Not at all?"

"Not right now," Momma cuts in," Well done for trying, princesse. Do you want to sit at the side with Klara? You can try again later."

In all honesty, you don't want to sit with Klara.

You want to leave Germany and go back to Not-Wolfsburg. You'll even wear Morsa's Not-Wolfsburg jersey if it means that you can go back and practice with Zećira.

You don't want to wait for the next Sweden camp to see her again. You want to be with her now.

You want her to tell you how to anticipate penalties (one day, people will fear taking a penalty against you). You want her to show you how to boot the ball all the way to the other side of the pitch (one day, you'll win a World Cup doing that). You want her to show you how to be the very best goalkeeper in the world (one day, you'll become the most decorated goalkeeper in history).

You want Zećira to teach you everything she knows.

You want to be with her now, on the Not-Wolfsburg training pitch with your matching gloves and matching boots.

But you can't do any of that.

So, you sit with Klara.

You don't know why she's not training today but she's sitting on the sidelines with a ball of yawn and some weird long things.

She smiles warmly at you as Morsa sets you down next to her, kissing you on the forehead and promising to be back with Momma to check on you very soon.

Your heart still aches for Zećira and her steady mentorship.

You don't know how to be a good goalkeeper without her (one day, Zećira will hand you an award proclaiming you as the best goalkeeper in the world). You don't know how to do her proud without her being there (one day, Zećira will be in the front row of your very first match for Sweden). You don't know how you're meant to train with other keepers when Zećira is your idol (one day, you'll be the idol of so many other little girls who will wear your shirt and cheer your name).

Your Bayern shirt says your first name right now, emblazoned on the back like you're someone important and perfect like Alexia but you're not (one day, your club shirts will all have your first name). Your Bayern shirt is red like Arsenal (one day, you'll be wearing an Arsenal shirt). Bayern is in Germany, which used to be home but it doesn't feel like home anymore (one day, it'll be home again but you'll be wearing Wolfsburg colours rather than Bayern).

Everything is so similar but different and you don't know how you're meant to adapt.

You miss Zećira with all her heart but you love keeping so much and you want to practice at Bayern so in the future you can be the best (one day, you'll be the very best).

But your tummy ties itself in knots and you get shaky legs when you see the Bayern keepers mucking around with each other, like how you used to muck around with Zećira.

"How big are your toys?" Klara asks you.

You frown, staring down at girl-moose and girl-swan.

"Why?" You still sound a little tearful but Klara doesn't comment on it.

"Well, they're part of the team aren't they? Like you? I think they deserve their own shirts."

"They're too little for jerseys," You say," They don't make ones little enough."

"I'm knitting some," Klara says and that gets your attention so you shuffle a bit closer," They won't have names of anything but they should be recognisable enough."

Her fingers move around until one of the jerseys are done.

She's right. They're very little and there's no room for any of the fancy words or numbers but it's still very clearly a Bayern jersey. She finishes it off and hands it to you, where you very carefully put it on girl-swan.

She looks like a Bayern player now, like she's part of the team.

Girl-moose gets one too and now they both look like Bayern players.

They look like they belong in Germany with this group of girls. They used to belong with Caro and Nilla or moster Frido and Ingrid at Wolfsburg. Then they belonged with Zećira and Jessie at Not-Wolfsburg.

Now, though, they belong with the Bayern girls.

Your keeper gloves sit next to you and you very gently slip them on, clenching and unclenching your hands to make sure they still fit properly.

Zećira got you these gloves for Christmas.

They're special because they're little versions of hers.

You think that means you've got a bit of Zećira in Bayern with you.

"Klara?" You ask.

"Hmm? What's up?"

"Can...Can I go and practice in goal with the others?"

"Do you want me to go and walk you over?"

"Yes, please."

Can we get any fun facts or lore about Vista?

I've given up on giving her actual lore tbh her job is to look cute!!!!

She calls back to this blog's previous mascot, Anna Fire Emblem (did a bit of Kasumi Persona too). Don't draw much of either these days but I still love the redhair ponytail genre.

I draw Miku all the time so Vista has different shapes. High-waist shorts instead of a skirt, puffy sleeves instead of those cone sleeve.. things. The open shirt, cleaner hairsyle, etc.

I made her on a whim when an anon asked about my OCs and I've been pretty happy with her since. Seeing her reinterpreted by other artists or even my own moots is so cool...

[lillahimmel]

Hello! Someone sent me a request for recommendations regarding Swedish literature/shows/series. So, I thought I would share it with everyone just in case. Now I don't really know what level of beginner you are (imo there's several steps for that!) but I'll try nonetheless ☺️

Last edit: 2025/05/09

I always recommend to watch or read things that are well-known for you to begin with, like for example Disney shows or movies you already know, right, but dubbed! That way you know what the story and details are about as is, and it's a great tool to get used to a language. To make it more advanced you can skip the subtitles.

Some Disney examples would be

Aladdin

Kim Possible

Lilo & Stitch

Recess

Tangled

But honestly, there's a lot of different animated and non-animated productions that we have dubbed, whether it's from Disney or Dreamworks or whatnot. Like Shrek have a dub, Wallace and Gromit, Chicken Run, and so on.

Now material that are actually Swedish from the start!

Old tv shows for kids:

Bamse

About a bear called Bamse, and he grows mighty strong by his grandmother's honey. It's basically a story about him, his family and his friends.

Doktor Mugg

*"Muggen" is slang for toilet, so it's not a show about mugs and kitchenware but toilet villain and silly macho hero!

Eva & Adam

Romantic comedy about school and friends in elementary/primary school.

Fem myror är fler än fyra elefanter (Five ants are more than four elephants)

There are three hosts and they have sketches and songs while also educating the viewer about the alphabet, numbers and other things.

Tillbaka till Vintergatan (Back to the Milky Way)

Basically a space adventure about astronauts and aliens.

Vi på Saltkråkan (Seacrow Island)

Astrid Lindgren made plenty books that turned into tv-shows at the time, this one is about a small island and the people living there and their everyday life.

-

Eva & Adam have books as well (never read them myself, but they exist) and Bamse used to serialise comic magazines and I loved them as a kid back in the day.

Tv shows for adults:

*Disclaimer: Some of these I haven't really watched myself but I know a lot of people enjoy them, so therefore they're included in the list!

Farmen (The Farm)

It's about a certain amount of participators that are supposed to live like farmers in the 1800s for a couple of weeks. So they don't have running water or electricity, and so on.

Frostbiten (Frostbitten)

Documentary about life in the North Arctic. The host and viewer meet people that live in the world’s most isolated places and about temperatures dropping as low as -60°C degrees.

Första dejten (The first date)

Reality show about singles that get matched by the tv show itself and they meetup at this bar. It's based on the British series called First Dates.

Robinson

Survival game on an island for participators. I believe every country have one of these, just like Idol and × Got Talent.

Another thing I recommend is children's books, or picture books, and they're great if you're a beginner. For classic children's literature go to my #Swedish-literature posts! I haven't updated them with more authors though, so besides Astrid Lindgren & Elsa Beskow, there are plenty more!

📬Some oldies

Adjö, herr Muffin (Goodbye Mr Muffin) by Ulf Nilsson, Anna-Clara Tidholm

Petter och hans fyra getter (Petter and his four goats) by Einar Norelius

Picture books series✨️

Emma by Gunilla Wilde

Kotten by Lena Anderson (*The title and name of the character would be translated as "the (pine) cone" and it's a wordplay of the Swedish word for hedgehog which is "igelkott")

Mamma Mu och Kråkan (Mamma Moo and Crow) by Jujja Weislander, Sven Nordqvist

Pettson och Findus (Pettson and Findus) by Sven Nordqvist

Let's see, a few recent picture books are:

Jag vill ha min hatt (I want my hat back) by Jon Klassen

Sigrid och natten (Sigrid and the night) by Jöns Möllgren

Siv sover vilse (Siv sleeps herself lost) by Pija Lindenbaum

I think it's probably Pettson and Findus, and Goodbye Mr Muffin that tends to lean towards more text in their books. BUT I'm not entirely sure, so take it with a grain of salt! If you want books that are more heavy in text, I recommend the posts I mentioned earlier since I list some more of them there. They are still children's books but for older ages. There are books for ages 9-12 year old, which should be more challenging, but that one I would need to make a separate post for another day. Do tell me if that's something interesting for you, and I will compile a little list! Anyways, I hope this was helpful in any way for you and others! 💗

'I got better :)' HSDJHDJSDJ

This scene always kills me, and it fits so well with them-

These are all so sickkk though- I love 'em sm!! :')

@agent-a-cpfancomic "I got better" edition!

Where kase is a bit miffed on Shades return from the dead

Kase: you said you were going on some dumb spiritual retreat!

Anna: namaste~

Kase: A--and YOU'RE supposed to be DEAD.

Shade: ....I got better?

Shade can only shrug it off whenever someone points out he's supposed to be dead, Anna is trying to keep her wits about her and not scare kase by saying he's technically a zombie XD

POV: you just witnessed a local penguin take a running leap towards the water. Anna has no words and yet is not surprised hehe.

Heart: Hi dad.

Shawn: Mai, did you put a cone of shame on my son?

Mai: yes....?

Heart got a flu jab and mai was on auto pilot. Woe upon heart, cone of shame!

LilShade: this is Violet! They're harmless

Violet: I bite.

LilShade: ...yeah?

Violet: I have rabies.

Shade tries to introduce violet to the island and his friends and fam, violet has their ways of making said introduction... awkward.

And the finale!

Violet: please. Don't do that again...

LilShade: ...ok.

Context unknown even to me, something definitely happened that warranted violets reaction however *sob*

Silly Game Time: WRONG ANSWERS ONLY! What's an appropriate gift for a 7-year-old?

From Hogfather, the Discworld book where Death has to substitute for the Hogfather (santa):

WHAT DO YOU WANT FOR HOGSWATCH? said the Hogfather hurriedly.

Mother took her economic cue again, and said briskly: “She wants a—”

The Hogfather snapped his fingers impatiently. The mother’s mouth slammed shut.

The child seemed to sense that here was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and spoke quickly.

“I wanta narmy. Anna big castle wif pointy bits,” said the child. “Anna swored.”

WHAT DO YOU SAY? prompted the Hogfather.

“A big swored?” said the child, after a pause for deep cogitation.

THAT’S RIGHT.

Uncle Heavy nudged the Hogfather.

“They’re supposed to thank you,” he said.

ARE YOU SURE? PEOPLE DON’T, NORMALLY.

“I meant they thank the Hogfather,” Albert hissed. “Which is you, right?”

YES, OF COURSE. AHEM. YOU’RE SUPPOSED TO SAY THANK YOU.

“’nk you.”

AND BE GOOD. THIS IS PART OF THE ARRANGEMENT.

“’es.”

THEN WE HAVE A CONTRACT. The Hogfather reached into his sack and produced—

—a very large model castle with, as correctly interpreted, pointy blue cone roofs on turrets suitable for princesses to be locked in—

—a box of several hundred assorted knights and warriors—

—and a sword. It was four feet long and glinted along the blade.

The mother took a deep breath.

“You can’t give her that!” she screamed. “It’s not safe!”

IT’S A SWORD, said the Hogfather. THEY’RE NOT MEANT TO BE SAFE.

“She’s a child!” shouted Crumley.

IT’S EDUCATIONAL.

“What if she cuts herself?”

THAT WILL BE AN IMPORTANT LESSON.

I finally watched Martyrs (2008) yesterday and posted a queer analysis on Letterboxd, but I think it may be more appreciated here on Tumblr where all the queer Martyrs (2008) fans seem to have flocked. So here’s my argument for why Anna and Lucie’s love was not one-sided, but fully reciprocated, and as a necessary warning, MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD.

Firstly, when Anna drops her wallet in the car, the camera pans to the open wallet and we see that Anna keeps photos of herself and Lucie inside. Anna dropping the wallet and the camera focusing on the open wallet for half a second was intentional- we as the audience are meant to take note of its contents. On the left side of the wallet, Anna keeps a candid photo of herself and Lucie when they were younger, presumably taken by an orphanage staff member. You can argue that this photo alone isn’t proof because Anna might just have fond memories of their shared history together as childhood best friends, and I might even agree if we stopped there. However, the other photo in the wallet in combination with this one is extremely revealing.

On the right side of the wallet, Anna keeps a photo of just Lucie alone. In the photo, Lucie is wearing a silly birthday cone hat on her head and looking up at the camera and warmly smiling/laughing. To me, this is an inarguably intimate photo for Anna to keep in her wallet. Why? Presumably, Anna herself took the photo since she’s not in the shot, and if we place ourselves in Lucie’s shoes, we can then assume that she’s not only smiling for the camera, but at Anna herself as she takes the photo. The contrast between the silliness of Lucie’s hat versus the expression on her face radiates unadulterated love for the person taking the photo and a cozy sense of domesticity. For Anna to feel so connected to that photo of Lucie in particular to the point of carrying it with her at all times shows how much that moment with Lucie meant to her.

Secondly, after Anna and Lucie place the now (mostly) dead Belfonds’ bodies in the bathroom, Anna’s shock wears off after making eye contact with Marie Belfond and the reality of the situation they’re in begins to register. Alone in the bathroom, Anna breaks down and begins to cry as she kneels on the floor next to the bodies. Having heard Anna crying, Lucie returns to check in on her and kneels in front of Anna, then the two take each other in for an intimate embrace. As Lucie rests her head on Anna’s chest, Anna kisses the top of her head, and Lucie responds by tenderly kissing Anna’s neck not once- mind you- but multiple times. After pulling out of the embrace, Lucie gives Anna a small yet tender smile, and Anna responds to this by cupping Lucie’s face and kissing her on the lips. At this point, Lucie pushes Anna away and asks, “What are you doing?”

I’ve seen many point to this as Lucie rejecting Anna romantically and therefore an indication that they’re not a couple, but I disagree with this analysis. When Lucie pushes Anna away, she notably does so very gently and her tone when she asks “What are you doing?” was extremely calm. This indicated to me that it wasn’t Anna’s affection that took Lucie off-guard, but the timing of it. I would think that if it was a wholesale rejection of Anna’s romantic love, Lucie would’ve pushed her away more quickly/roughly and used a harsh tone.

As for why Anna kissed Lucie in that moment, I believe seeing Lucie’s smile brought her a moment of normalcy during an otherwise horrific event- something she desparately needed as the shock wore off, and something only Lucie could offer. Lucie’s smile reminded Anna of the intimate moments where she’s seen Lucie smile at her like this, and as an effort to grab onto that sense of normalcy she does what she typically does in response to her smile- she kisses Lucie.

Lastly, and to me a scene that is just BEGGING to be picked apart, is when Anna calls her mother the morning after Lucie kills herself. We learn that Anna hasn’t spoken to her mother in over two years, and from the jump her mother is clearly frustrated with Anna. She asks Anna where she’s living and how she’s doing, and Anna simply replies by saying “I’m okay.” Her mother, dissatisfied with Anna’s non-response, asks “You’re still with her?”, referring to Lucie. She then claims that Anna is “under [Lucie’s] influence.” Anna quickly rushes in to deny her mother’s accusation, but her mother doesn’t take it and exclaims “Christ! You’re still with her- it’s the same thing.” Further frustrated by the revelation that Anna is still “with” Lucie, Anna’s mother goes on a rant about Lucie, calling her a “good-for nothing” and “a bitch, a pervert, [and] a loser.” She concludes her rant by telling Anna to “get away from [Lucie].”

Anna’s mother’s choice of language when she disparages Lucie is striking. Her choice to use the word “pervert” to describe Lucie stuck out to me in particular, as it’s not typically a word used by parents to admonish their child’s friends (although I suppose we could also say Lucie isn’t “typical”). From context clues, we know that Anna comes from a religious background- presumably Christian- and therefore her mother is probably religious. Many religions, Christianity being no exception, push the idea that any non-heterosexual person/act is inherently “perverted.” It’s highly possible that part of Anna’s mother’s disdain towards Lucie and her frustration with Anna is rooted in these homophobic values and her attribution of “perversion” to Anna and Lucie’s relationship.

This can also explain why Anna hasn’t contacted her mother in over two years. Anna is used to her mother prying into her relationship with Lucie every time they talk and she’s tired of her mother’s judgment. Anna’s mother repeatedly pries because she desperately wants Anna to tell her that she’s finally rid herself of Lucie (and consequently of her “perversion”) and she’s exasperated because every time they call she learns that they’re still together and Anna has no intention of leaving Lucie.

I also want to call back to how, after initially learning they’re still together, Anna’s mother says “it’s the same thing” and her assertion that Anna is “under [Lucie’s] influence.” I interpret the use of “it” by Anna’s mother to refer to homosexuality (because the “it” is implied to be part of the reason they haven’t spoken in two years), and Lucie’s supposed “influence,” to Anna’s mother, Lucie is “influencing” her daughter to be gay and again “perverted.”

Another thing of note, after Anna’s mother asks why she’s calling her after two years, she asks if the reason for the call is to “make [her] feel guilty.” She follows this up by rhetorically asking “Think I don’t blame myself? Think my head’s not filled with all the crap I did?” It’s possible that Anna’s mother is referring to the act of leaving Anna in an orphanage, but for this to be the case, the timeline doesn’t add up. I believe this supposed “guilt” could instead refer to what transpired during their last phonecall and caused the two years of no-contact. If we assume that my explanation above regarding her mother’s prodding is correct, we can guess that the last call ended poorly because Anna refused to leave Lucie (therefore refusing to “stop being gay” in her mother’s eyes), and this led to their estrangement. When Anna’s mother refers to the “guilt” she feels, she may only be referring to feeling guilty for the harsh way she addressed Anna in the last call and not for the rationale behind her harshness. She feels guilty not for being homophobic, but for doing so in such a way that her daughter pushed her away.

This could also just be the familiar actions of an abusive person utilizing DARVO to make their victim feel like they’re the abuser. By making Anna feel like she’s at fault for making her mother spend the past two years feeling “guilty” and torturing herself with “all the crap [she] did,” her mother effectively turns the blame and offloads any feelings of guilt onto Anna.

Now, why did Anna call her mother for the first time in two years at this moment of crisis given their fraught past? One explanation is that Anna, knowing that there’s no longer any normalcy after Lucie’s death, thinks that now that the world has seemingly turned on its head, maybe- just maybe- her mother could provide a sense of comfort. Anna hopes that now that it’s been two years, now that her mother has had time to reflect, and now that nothing feels real anymore, she can confide in her mother about the fact that her lover killed herself and receive any amount of consolation. While illogical in any other moment, now that reality itself is illogical, Anna holds on to this speck of hope just to be slapped in the face with the fact that her mother hasn’t changed one bit. Another explanation is that Anna called her mother, knowing that she would behave in this manner, and believed that hearing her mother denigrate her relationship with Lucie as if she were still alive- while painful- could give her even an ounce of the normalcy that being with Lucie provided.

Anyways, all of that hullabaloo just to say: Anna and Lucie are in lesbians.

Anna's Hummingbird male by Michael W. Potter Via Flickr: The light is right in this photo to show the colourful gorget of this male Anna’s Hummingbird. The small size of this species (which is actually large as hummers go) is indicated by comparison to the cone in this image. This individual was at the ts’uḵw’um (Wilson Creek) Estuary on the Sunshine Coast of British Columbia, Canada.

Looks like I’m playing the Kiss Game! @firawren asked for a Kristanna #11 (a kiss to the neck) — I was going to draw but then this idea came to mind (I might still get the pencil out). I hope you like it, teehee.

Icecream, of course

The agitated thrum of cicadas was almost deafening as the heat rose off the path in distorted, shimmering waves. Kristoff ran his hand down the back of his neck to wipe off the sheen of sweat and wiped his hand along his pants leg. The shade from the towering tree above their bench provided little relief.

As always Anna had turned to food to displace her discomfort — icecream, of course. She ran her tongue around the top of the cone and sighed with pleasure as the frozen treat melted in her mouth, soothing her from the inside out.

Maybe it was the heat making Kristoff delirious but suddenly the thick air around him felt ice cold compared to the burning of his cheeks. He gulped down the rest of his icecream to soothe his dry throat but it just didn’t seem enough.

He stole a sideways glance at Anna only to notice that the weather was melting her icecream as quickly as it was thawing his resolve — a stream of creamy chocolate trickled from the corner of her lips and down past her chin into the depths of the neckline of her dress.

With a shriek of surprise Anna was knocked out of her icecream dream as something hot, wet and moving trailed along her collarbone! Kristoff’s golden hair skimmed her bare skin as he chased the drip up her neck, his humid breath tickled her ears and she erupted into a fit of giggles. Suddenly he was laughing too and peppered kisses back down and across her shoulder, attending every freckle.

Anna’s nose wrinkled as she booped his with what was left of her treat and promptly licked it off in one fell swoop.

“Agh!” he scrunched up his eyes and brushed off her saliva with the back of his hand before being hit with a firm kiss to the mouth. His eyes and mouth burst open in bewilderment but before he could lick his lips and return the affection Anna was tugging him by the hand into the hot sunshine.

“C’mon! I want more icecream!”

I’ve been knocking on doors asking what peoples blorbs would get at an ice cream parlor and if they’d get it in a cup or cone, with the presumption that the parlor has just about any flavor you can think of, but I’m pretty sure the answer for Annalei is. Something mint flavored. With more peppermint bits mixed in, somehow.

Though I’m curious what Summer and C’Kyho would do with this many options 👀 (and Anna anyways let’s be honest with ourselves)

Anna absolutely would pick a chocolate mint option or a grasshopper milkshake. If this is an ice cream parlor that has no mint options at all, well...

One, it's probably getting burned down. Sorry.

Two, she'd take a plain chocolate single scoop cone and be extremely cranky for the rest of the day.

C'allie, for all of her wide variety of life experiences, is actually fairly boring when it comes to ice cream options. She opts for one of two choices, depending on where she's getting her ice cream from.

The small shop in Shirogane that she takes the kits to on shopping days is where she'll grab a green tea flavored mochi ice cream. It's something she can shove in her mouth and eat quickly, it's cooling and sweet, and it's less messy (and likely to end up on the ground) than a cup or cone.

If she's by herself (or out with adults) then C'allie's going for a large waffle cone with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce.

Summer's favorite flavors of ice cream aren't available outside of Lyhe Mheg, which she thinks is a real pity. If other people could enjoy scoops of childlike wonder and sun-warmed afternoons, they'd be just as eager as her to get cones piled high!

[mylene2002]

I want a real love triangle (or a love cone like Anna said) between Kitty, Minho and Yuri in s3.

I wanna both Minho and Yuri to have feelings for her. And I want Kitty to have feelings for them both.

I want drama, I want love, I want an exploration of both ships.

I want Yuri to have her dream with Kitty to realise her feelings.

I want Kitty to have a dream with Minho and then Yuri appears in the dream to make her realise she still has feelings for her too.

I want Minho and Kitty to have more deep conversations. I really love this in s2. I want more in s3.

If mooncovey is the endgame, I want a kiss goodbye for catglass.

If catglass is the endgame, I want at least a kiss for mooncovey.

I wanna watch Yuri and Minho have a funny little fight for Kitty. But a cute one, not a toxic one. Like imagine them ordering something for her to eat and the cafeteria and they both argue about what she prefers to eat. 😂

I want Kitty to figuring out what it’s best for her and not for the fandom.

I don’t care with who she ends up with, as long as she chooses herself.

Chapter 2: From Lahore

It was just another morning in Delhi. The sun started to rise and Ram was back home, sweating like a melting snow cone. He got ready to report to the police station- when he remembered he had a duty at the railway station today.

Ram didn't understand why the authorities would give him duty at most peculiar places. It was only a comfort that the railway station was close to police barracks. But he understood that crowd and riots like this can only be handled by him. It was 7 am, and the train from Lahore has just stopped on the railway station of Delhi. Chandni chowk was a bustling market, and often the crowd made its place on the railway station. Even 7 am looked like a Sunday evening sometimes. Buying a cutting chai, he sat down on the stool, observing everyone in sight.

A sweet sound pulled Ram's attention- sounds of payal not usually heard around here. His neck whipped to the sound, to see a woman dressed like a bride from head to toe. Was she a runaway? Ram looked away, continuing on his tea and biscuit. Delhi is a sight of all the freaks and couldn't care less. Ram finished his tea and got up to pay, when a hand extended in front of him to pick a toast. He couldn't help but see the fading green lines on his wrist, as if a tattoo hardly recognizable. When Ram saw the man's face, the instant anxiety kicked an intuition in Ram- he knew who the man was. Ram soon sprinted after him, as he escaped, running to catch the member of a decoy gang who looted a whole family of the superintendent. The decoy put up a good fight, injuring Ram at places but in 10 minutes, Ram had the decoy in his hands.

On the other hand, Akhtar entered the frame of Railway station, eyes seeking for Ram. He parked his motorcycle, swinging the bag of lunch as he got off the bullet. Ammi made biryani and he had to deliver the fresh and hot delicacy. With a small smile, he made his way inside. Akhtar's first stop was the officer's room reserved for the police, but he had no luck there. Where would Ram be on such a big platform?

Upon looking further, he saw a woman, dressed like a bride from head to toe, sitting on one of the benches. Her face screamed she needed help, and she looked out of ordinary. It was almost time that she started attracting chain snatchers and ill intenders. Akhtar moved close to her, cautiously, and luckily gained her attention without calling for her.

"I am sorry to disturb but are you in trouble?"

The woman looked at him up and down, and then looked away. Akhtar gulped, but understood her ignorance. "I don't mean to do any harm, I'm just here to drop my friend's lunch. I thought you needed help." Akhtar tried, he thought. When she didn't budge from her position, he started to walk away, unsure. "Listen!" A melodious voice pulled him back, and he turned to her immediately. "I hope what you're saying is true. I am new to this city and I need a place to stay for some time." Akhtar smiled proudly "Where are you from?" "I am from Lahore, my name is Kainat"

Akhtar's eyes physically shined upon her name. "What a beautiful name, my younger sister would adore you" Kainat's eyes glistened at that. A sister who adores. "Would you know any place for me to stay temporarily?" Kainat repeated her query and Akhtar nodded, fortunately. "You can live with my family for sometime, I'm sure they won't mind" Her smile reached her eyes, nodding quickly. "Let me just find Ram Anna and introduce you to him, till then you can sit and wait in here".

Akhtar guided Kainat to the waiting room outside the police officer's room. After all, this was the safest place for her and easiest to find. She tapped her foot repetitively, anxious if she was deceived. She couldn't even get his name- all she knows is that he is looking for his friend, Ram.

About 2 minutes later, Kainat saw a man getting dragged inside the station by his collar. Must be a pick pocket, she thought, clutching her bag closer. There are a lot of them in Delhi. Kainat's attention was not on the police station, that was the last of her interest. She never understood how the people of nation could stand up against the freedom of their own family, their own blood. Whites to be damned, her blood boils whenever she witnesses a brown police officer. That was one of the things she hated about nawabs- taking the oppressor's side for their own luxury and comfort. She loved dancing, as long as it was in front of the women of Mahal and even the white oppressors. Although, were Huzoor any less than an oppressor herself?

Kainat snapped out of her thoughts when she saw someone limp and sit in front of her, his loose white shirt bloody. He huffed, closing his eyes and rested his head back. Kainat thought of him to be a culprit too, when a constable gave him a glass of water and left. Curiosity took the best of her, and she couldn't help but ask.

"Are you a police officer?" Ram opened his eyes to see the runaway bride he saw sometimes back. He closed his eyes again, nodding in no. Better to be safe than sorry. "Then why did the constable helped you just now?" Kainat missed the small smile on his face. "I caught a criminal on the run." Ram only heard the movement of her jewellery, shuffling. "Does it hurt?" Ram opened his eyes again. He never really thought about it, he was just tired. He took a quick glance at his wounds, which were really minor compared to his other incidents. "I'd be fine" he muttered, closing his eyes again.

"Anna!" Ram opened his eyes again when Akhtar called out for him, only to be caught off guard by blood on Ram. Kainat saw Akhtar run to the bench, asking what happened. Ram calmly put hand up, asking him to calm down. Kainat couldn't help but smile at the odd duo. "What are you smiling at?" Ram's question drew a silence on Akhtar. "Do you know each other?" Akhtar asked. Kainat looked from Ram to Akhtar. "We just met now" Kainat said.

Ram finally looked at Kainat from up to down. She looked like she belonged to royalty, with a bright and innocent face, sharp eyes and plump lips. She looked like she would bring trouble. "Anna, this is Kainat from Lahore. She'll be living with our family for awhile."

"Kainat" Ram muttered to himself.

Ok weird combo but I could see both Remus and Patton liking this song… It’s “I Like Bananas (Because They Have No Bones)” by Henry Hall.

Standing by the fruit store on the corner Once I heard a customer complain "You never seem to show the fruit we all love so That's why business hasn't been the same

I don't like your peaches They are full of stones I like bananas Because they have no bones

Don't give me tomatoes Can't stand ice cream cones I like bananas Because they have no bones

No matter where I go With Susie, May, or Anna I want the world to know I must have my banana

Cabbages and onions Hurt my singing tones I like bananas Because they have no bones"

[Spoken] Hello Mr. Durante, this is a surprise! What are you doing here? [Spoken] 'What am I doing here?' You ask me! It's mutiny, that's what it is. I come a million miles, a million of 'em, to see this London people, and this is what I get. It's mortifying, that's what it is. This George fella singing about bananas, bananas without any bones! What do you suppose he's referring to? There's only one banana worth singing about, and that's caught on me, so don't quote me on that. It's mortifying, it's mutiny, it's a disgrace, that's what it is. Ah, words fail me."

[Spoken] Well, don't let it get you, Mr. Durante, listen to George sing this chorus

Ach, a' the famous folks, man Even they a' know They like their bananas 'Cause they havenae ony bones

It's everybody's weakness It micht be your ain Divn't ye like bananas? 'Cause they havenae ony banes

Man, there's something in bananas That gives you that strange feeling Nobody can resist them They are so appealing'! Ha!

The quintuplet bairnies, man Those healthy five Dionnes They a' eat bananas 'Cause they havenae ony bones

I used this character inspiration meme as a visual aid to show what and who served as inspiration for my characters. I also edited my inspirations onto those Citizens Of drawings I did.

There’s another character inspiration that I forgot for Master Cupid, and that’s Kitten from Teen Titans. Her father is Lord Landlord from the episode Landlord Lord, and their relationship is kind of like Killer Moth and Kitten.

Let me explain the Citizens Of ones:

Annie is an obvious nod to Annie. Like I said in Pepper’s meme, I was in Annie Jr. in 7th grade.

Maya’s design is based on one of the People of the Sky from Kirby Triple Deluxe.

@/literallyzooble inspired me to create Pheasala, even though we don’t talk to each other anymore, as I said.

Ribbon and Val play a similar minor role to Stampy Cat and StacyPlays in Season 2 of Minecraft: Story Mode.

Pepper’s little sister Gracey is named after the Attractionistas doll based on the Haunted Mansion, and her mom Beatrice’s dress is based on the dresses that the staff who work there wear.

The appearances of Mabel and her family are all based on the Whittles from Super Mario Galaxy 2, even though I know them best from Mario Party 9.

Princess Unear and Prince Pericorn are Unikitty’s parents in this AU, even though they live away for their new job (working for a cruise line). Unikitty and her brother Puppycorn are still being cared for by Richard in this AU. This was me wanting to answer the question of where their parents were, and I didn’t just want to say they were dead.

Mayor Melancholia is my fanmade leader of Frowntown. A YouTuber named Gold07Arts has a Minecraft OC named Prismarine, which inspired me to give her water hair (that resembles falling rain).

The Charm Valleyans are mostly inspired by Skylanders. Imogen is part of a Wizard Scouts troop, which is a thing the Unikingdom and Frowntown does for Charm Valley diaspora youth. (This isn’t done in Charm Valley itself.) Imogen’s troopmates and troop leader, whose heritage comes from Charm Valley just like her, are no exception.

Chalcedony’s appearance takes inspiration from the Earth Skylander, Head Rush.

Caielgi’s name is based on Ursula K. Le Guin’s last three initials, K L G. She’s not based on a Skylander. Her appearance is inspired by Onica from The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance.

Sieslo’s name is based on C.S. Lewis’s initials. His appearance is based on Jet Vac, an Air Skylander.

Gustav takes inspiration from three Air Skylanders- Gusto, Hurricane Jet Vac, and Thunderbolt. He’s the troop leader, and the troop is called Troop Air.

Several Ice Cream Landers’ appearances are based upon dessert and candy-themed Lalaloopsy dolls. Randy’s comes from Bubble Smack n’ Pop, Cottonette comes from Whimsy Sugar Puff and Whispy Sugar Puff, Browncake comes from Blush Pink Pastry, Iceberry comes from Frost I. C. Cone, Sunday comes from Anna Double Scoops, and Marshscotch comes from Toasty Sweet Fluff.

As for Neapolitan, Germafrost’s younger brother, Kaos from Skylanders is both his voice claim and the basis for his personality.

Natalie’s personality and the choker and wristband she wears are inspired by Anne Boleyn from Six. The actress playing her in that photo is Andrea Macasaet, who is Nat’s voice claim.

Marcella’s family is themed around gold and golden pearls. In Marevi, there’s a sandy biome where the sand is a brilliant yellow and shimmers like gold.

Celina, Spike’s mom, has white hair that’s meant to look like a rain cloud. The Cecaes are a weather-loving bunch. In Marevian mythology, an octopus used his legs to pull sunlight, clouds, and wind down toward the sea, so it could also experience weather. She’s also influenced by Arella from Teen Titans, just as Spike is influenced by Raven for his family’s history.

Spike’s grandfather, Emilio, is themed around wind, and his hair looks like a gust of wind. He is wearing the robe that Marevian meteorologists wear. He’s also a flutist, and he taught it to Spike.

Xenia, his grandmother, is an undersea engineer. She’s themed around lightning storms.

Aura’s appearance is based on the curious oysters from Alice in Wonderland.

Gabbro’s appearance was inspired by Crusty Sean from Splatoon.

Eleanor’s bandeau and skirt were inspired by Sweet Sea.

Prudencia’s hair is based on Adagio Dazzle’s.

Manuel’s appearance is based on Big Man, but Eliza and Cell’s personalities are based on Frye and Shiver.

Honestly, I’m really considering scrapping Swan Lake. I’m not that interested in developing it anyhow.

Lord Monarch is a monarch butterfly fairy. The way his wings look are inspired by Mona Arch Wings.

Rose’s dress is influenced by Ruby Rose, even though I know nothing about RWBY. I mean, their flower is a rose, and their gemstone is a ruby.

Carnation’s dress is inspired by Rose Quartz’s dress, since rose quartz is her gemstone.

Jesse’s (Dr. Fox’s grandmother in this AU) outfit is inspired by Mari Golden Petals.

Vita’s (Dr. Fox’s older sister in this AU) appearance has always been inspired by a minor Loud House character named Nikki, even though I stopped watching The Loud House a long time ago.

Needle, Spike’s father, was inspired by Trigon from Teen Titans. He’s not a literal demon, but he treated Spike and Celina horribly.

Queen Carnelia and her two children were inspired by Goldie Luxe and her pet peacock.

The red chainmail pattern on Captain Ember’s outfit takes inspiration from Ember’s clothes in Elemental. They, too, were influenced by @/literallyzooble.

Nico’s (one of Dr. Fox’s cousins in this AU) outfit and entire magician vibe were inspired by Misty Mysterious.

Trey’s moms, Estara and Luna, also have designs inspired by Skylanders. Estara’s is based on Gearshift, and Luna’s is based on Star Strike.

Arcentharion, the leader of Charm Valley, has an appearance inspired by Master Eon, a Portal Master who was the leader of the Skylanders before he became a spirit.

What do you think? Are some redesigns and some renaming in order?

🐼 + Kimberly? <3

Thank you so much @rose-of-oz!! 💕 Gonna tag @ginger-grimm, @ginevrastilinski-ocs and @manyfandomocs!! 💕

Would they consider going onto a game/talent show on TV? If so, which one have they always had in mind?: She isn't the type that would want to go on TV, because she would feel that she would embarrass herself, but if she was forced to do so, she would go on 'The Wheel of Fortune '.

Have they ever done something stupid to try and impress someone?: Kimberley once tried to impress a girl she once had a crush on while she was with some of her friends when they all went down to the local ice cream shop, on their way to a camping trip out of town. She asked for a Banana Split, in which she watched the shop owner carve three jumbo scoops of ice cream out of various tubs and plunking them into a plastic serving boat, before flanking the sundae with two halves of a banana, then topping it with a traffic cone of whipped cream, some nuts, and a cherry. It looked like a mountain range with a warning light on top, as her crush's eyes grew wide with horror. Before Kimberley knew it, she felt a rising tide in her stomach, and got Clementine Charming and Miranda Madrigal to help her through the toilets, as she vomited quite severely.

Something they collect: Kimberley collects anything related to Joan of Arc, which ranges from history books written about her, to historical paintings of her to quirky memorabilia found on Etsy.

Their theme song: Golden by Harry Styles.

If they get sick easily or not: Kimberley secretly smokes cigarettes, and often goes into coughing fits. One time, when Kimberley was ill, her mother, Anna, accidentally found cigarettes in Kimberley's room, but both Kimberley and Anna said that it was a secret that was best kept, because they both knew that Kimberley's father, Kristoff, would be horrified if he found out about his daughter's smoking habits.

Their go-to destination for a day trip: Kimberley's go-to destination would be The Enchanted Forest, located far north of Arendelle to visit her aunt Elsa and her aunt's girlfriend, Honeymaren Nattura.

If they've ever worked a summer job, what was it was: Kimberley hasn't really actually had a summer job, apart from a few babysitting and childminding jobs for various residents in both Auradon City and Arendelle.

Last year's Halloween costume: Last Halloween, Kimberley persuaded Mal to come to the Halloween party, and for them to dress up as the twins from The Shining, although it took quite a bit of convincing from Mal, but they both did it, and they won the "best couple's costume" award.

Their go-to flavor for anything: Chocolate.

Is there one thing they always manage to break no matter what? What is it?: Kimberley gets her clumsiness from her mother, and she has a habit of walking into vases and ornaments, which leads to them breaking. One time she broke a statue ornament of Merlin, and with some (unhelpful) help from Roland Hood, she accidentally glued the statue’s penis on upside-down.

Part 12 of A Treatise of Embroidery, crochet, and knitting with illustrations

By George C. Perkins, Anna Grayson Ford, and M. Heminway & Sons Silk co circa 1899

Please note, this book was written in 1899, and as such uses a racist term to refer to the dyes that were used for the thread. If you'd like to read more about this period in time, the term, and the stereotypes that the Victorians had, I've actually linked the wikipedia article here that goes more in depth. It's not the end all be all of it, but it's a good starting place for anyone wanting to educate themselves on the topic. The description for the diagram is as follows:

There are three daisies in a floral spray, one on the left being viewed at a 3/4ths angle so that half of the petals are hidden, and two on the right side of the image viewed in full, a fern with heart shaped leaves being a divider between the right and left, and on the farthest right is a daisy bud with three petals seeming about ready to emerge. The stems of the left daisy and the fern appear to be joined in a graceful swoop at the bottom, while the stems of the other flowers in the spray cross the center of the piece in straight lines, like flowers gently scattered on the page. The fern's leaves are just a continual series of forks and branches in a sort of random order that tapers up and bows over.

All the stems are done in E while for the fern, the leaves at the bottom are scattered D's moving into E as they go further up, then C is sprinkled into the E's the further up we go, then B replaces C, and A's are the tip. Overall the leaves form a sort of bowed cone shape over the left daisy. Daisies: Leftmost Daisy: Petal 1 starting from the left, going from tip to center = 4, 1, 2. Petal 2 = 4, 1, 3. Petal 3 = 5, 1, 2. Petal 4 = 5, 1, 2. Petal 5 = 5, 1, 3. Petal 6 = 5, 1, 3. Petal 7 = 4, 1, 2 Center = 6 & 8 above and below each other respectively with 7 on the right.

Center Daisy:

Petal 1, the leftmost petal at the 9 o clock position, going from tip to center on each petal and then moving clockwise to the next = 5, 1, 3. Petal 2 = 5,1,2. Petal 3 = 4,1,2. Petal 4 = 4,1,2. Petal 5 = 4,1,2. Petal 6 = 5,1,2. Petal 7 = 5,1,2. Petal 8 = 1,3. Petal 9 = 1,3. Petal 10 = 5,1,3. Petal 11 = 5,1.

Center going clockwise from left =7,6,8.

Rightmost Daisy:

Petal 1, starting from the noon position and moving clockwise tip to center = 4, 1, 2. Petal 2 = 4,1,2. Petal 3 = 4,1,2,1. Petal 4 = 4,2. Petal 5 = 4,3. Petal 6 = 4,3. Petal 7 = 5,3. Petal 8 = 5,1,3. Petal 9 = 5,3. Petal 10 = 3. Petal 11 = 5,2. Petal 12 = 1,2. Flower Center going clockwise from top = 7,8,9.

Flower Bud tip to center = 5, 1, 2. There are two leaves, one on either side of the leftmost daisy stem done in K at the tip to M at the base. There is another leaf on the base of the stem for the bud that runs behind the rightmost daisy done in 1.
