#Anyway all that to say thank u for the compliment I am not normal about this

[bonefall]

even though I've never read the books, i love how you handle the women in this series.

The utter lack of interest in the internal lives of women characters in WC kills me. If you don't read the series it's hard to put it into words, but it really does not value women on the same level as their male counterparts

I think the best example I can use is Turtle Tail. All of her choices, from going to live with Bumble, choosing a "cruel man" as a mate, and even her grief when Bumble dies, all only happen as accessories to Gray Wing's arc.

Living with Bumble was because Gray Wing was obsessing over a woman who didn't love him, neglecting Turtle who does

Choosing Tom the Wifebeater was also because Gray Wing didn't appreciate her enough

She accepts that her friend's murder was just an unfortunate accident and her emotions carried her away in the moment, because Gray Wing needs to be right that his brother is a good boy

In this way, Turtle Tail's emotions and motivations aren't allowed to really be about her. They're about how her romantic interest influences her. And then she's crushed by a car for his man pain after they've explored every other way her life could make him sad.

This does not happen with men. Even characters like Stemleaf and Larksong, whose primary narrative purpose is dying for their wife's pain, have functions outside of that. Stemleaf gives his life opposing the tyranny of the impostor in a rebellion, and Larksong has input on The Kin, SkyClan, and even serves as a source of comfort and support to a son who he's never met in contrast to the unreasonable mother.

There's just so much more respect and reverence to the toms in this series. You have to be in the POV of a molly to get depth, and even then, they nearly always (exceptions being mothwing and mistystar) include a major conflict over romance and/or parenthood

(And they usually get punished for their choices a lot harder than male counterparts. Directly contrast Crookedstar and Sparkpelt, who both distance themselves from their children out of grief, but only one has to deal with the lasting consequences of being a "bad parent")

Anyway, enough wistful analysis. It is MY kitchen and I get to choose the conflicts. It is my personal mission to write lots and lots of women persuing a higher education in STEM. Sadism, Torture, Evisceration, and Murder <3

Valentines Day w/ HSR Characters!

Doing Calc homework and am very stressed, i can feel it everywhere in my body. the math is just not mathing mentally today (i looked at trigonometric identities today so maybe thats why)

Just writing out some messy ideas to take a break

Btw if u sent in a request and I haven't answered it yet I am working on it thank you for your uh question ask thingy i appreciate it, i like to know what people like to read bcus tbh i like to write anything altho jingyuan gets like +10 points cus he fluffy

Valentines Day With Some HSR Characters (Jing Yuan, Blade, Dan Heng, Stelle)

Jing Yuan

Jing Yuan is old school romantic. You cannot tell me he wouldn't arrive home with a big bouquet of roses (does HSR even have roses?) and 20 other gifts, including but not limiting to boxes of chocolate, teddy bears, and at least one gag gift. There's gotta be at least one, he'd make a dad joke out of it too.

Then he'd reserve one of the best restaurants on the Luofu and bring you there. He'd probably have booked a private room, thank goodness because no one wants to hear the general continuously compliment you until you're a puddle on the floor. What he is best at is attacks. But if he gets a compliment in return he'll freeze up for a moment before playfully returning it.

Jing Yuan doesn't put on his normal coy facade today, instead he just embraces how much he loves you because he's happy to still have you in his life.

Blade

Blade does not know it's Valentine's Day. It's not his fault, cut him some slack. Anyway Kafka probably reminds him that it's Valentine's Day about half way through the day to which he goes into a silent panic. You can't tell he's panicking he's just staring at the wall with a blank face, he actually looks like he wants to murder someone.

The two of you end up celebrating though! He... pulls something together, it really is something. Sure he smells like blood and the waiters are scared, and taking over this restaurant for a Valentine's Day dinner was definitely not in the script but... It could be worse. He's trying his best, really.

Afterwards you and Blade share lots of cuddles! Something he's pretty good at! Holding you just tight enough, and keeping you close to his side-- you just won't be able to get up if you want to get water or anything. He doesn't say too much but you can feel the love in each caress.

Dan Heng

Dan Heng doesn't really like going out, why would he when all he needs is right by his side? So the two of you stay on the express in the archives. What matters isn't where you are but the company. He'd probably get you a few trinkets from different places he's collected over the years, a necklace, a sick looking compass, whatever fits your vibe.

Dan Heng would probably also write you a love poem, and make you read it or awkwardly recite it in front of you. If you read it out loud though he will get unbelievably embarrassed and snatch it away from you. He'd give it back but he'd take some coaxing, be nice okay? His face is already red.

Then when the night draws to a close the two of you would curl up together on that sorry excuse of what he calls a bed. The majority of your body would be on Dan Heng's using him as a pillow, and his arms would be wrapped around your body keeping you still and warm.

Dan Heng's bed is not it man. Personally, I'd get back problems.

Stelle

"You are the one who deserves the golden trash the most," Truly romantic words from Stelle as she hands you a golden trashbag. That is just the first of the gifts she gives you tonight, and the one that's most valuable to her. It's the thought that counts right? You still have no idea what she's talking about when she mentions fighting Sampo as a trashcan...

The two of you spend a romantic night together, walking down the quiet streets of Belobog, and-- did Stelle just investigate a trashcan again? You should be used to this. On the bright side, every time she gets something cool she comes up to you with the biggest smile on her face, it's beyond adorable. Sometimes the trashcans even have good stuff, like a scarf Stelle lets you wear that thankfully doesn't smell like trash.

It's just good to spend time with the person you love. She spends her time catching you up on everything new from her adventures, and when it's too cold to stay out any longer the two of you head to the Astral Express. Where you shower together and then doze off on one of the Express' couch cushions while playing games. Your head rests against Stelle's reminding you, you're never alone.

Okay I need to get back to homework, fun break thanks guys. Imagine being alone on Valentines Day couldn't be me, I have my Calc Homework. It told me I was integral to it <3 legit peak partner material.

contains: adam, bree, chase, leo

a/n: this will get zero notes but idc i am pioneering ts for lab rats. gif credit goes to him (me. bc i am him.) 💯

adam

i have always been very loud about my belief that adam marries a black woman or man in the future

and i mean LOUD

he 100% does

the first time he meets u he's like woah

prettay

he likes watching how your hair bounces as you descend the stairs or even just walking on flat ground

he likes how u speak to him

you call everyone lil nicknames so whenever u say "baby" he's like 😃

u help him with school stuff

bc you smart 💯

okayyyy scholar 😍😍😍

sorry

anyway

he loves seeing u

you anchor him

keep him from doing ridiculous shit that can get him hurt yk

turn into ur mom fr

he fidgets with his fingers a lot so he be playing in your hair

gently pulling strands so they spring back and wrapping em around his finger (ESPECIALLY when they're freshly moisturized and wet)

y'all are just saur cute to see

he's a big hugger so he rests his cheek against ur head and ur lil curls tickle him

and bonus points if you're significantly shorter than him

it's an adorable image when u hold hands

bc ur this lil person that is clearly able to easily escape restraint and u got ur tall white boy that's a lil dumb but happy to be here with u nonetheless

i love adam lawd

bree

bisexual queen

anyway

u guys become friends very quick

she complimented ur jewelry (a lil gold necklace) and u were like "aw thanks gang"

and from that u sparked a conversation and became very good friends very fast

she introduced u to her brothers, allat

u guys meet in the library every morning or u go to the nearby coffee shop before school starts

get some polite lil drinks and just.. talk :)

if you guys were to pack ur own lunches every day, y'all would do snack trades a lot

you defend her a lot against her brothers 💀

the first time you said "boy shut up" to chase she got hearts in her eyes fr /hj

when she realizes she might have a lil crush, she doesn't act too strange but she is a little bit different

she hugs for a little longer than normal, just to enjoy the scent of ur moisturizer and ur hair products

when y'all have sleepovers she always cuddles close

she loves to cook with u

u show her recipes you got from ya mama and she enjoys them every time

she stares at ur lips when u eat

and talk

and

do anything at all

they are very kissable what can she say

chase

lord.

he's infatuated

INFATUATED

he only knew leo so he had no idea black ppl could be so fine /j

the first time he sees you, a little notification in his eyebawl goes off like "heartrate rising. entering cooldown." and it's SO LOUD to him

turns out you and leo are already friends

which is NOT helpful

because now whenever you're at the house he's frantic as hell

either trying to interact with you (extremely awkwardly) or hiding in the lab so he doesn't embarrass himself further

bree would come down like "just go talk to them loser" and he's like "I CAN'T 😭😭😭😭😭😭"

when she finally forces him to quit being a punk and at least say hi, he comes upstairs to see u looking out at the view

the sun shining through their big ass windows glows gold on your skin and to him you look like a god

he flees /hj

HE DOESNT KNOW HOW TO ACT

he eventually pulls himself together and soon feels like a fool

because talking to you is SO EASY ?

you exude a charm he has never seen heard or experienced from anyone else before

the way u speak to him makes him melt

that being said never call him a pet name

ever

a simple "sugar" or even just "baby" will make him overheat and shut down

leo

i'm already laffing

y'all are funny as SHIT

you were classmates before the davenports came in but you weren't really friends until after they did

you helped leo show them around the school and the two of you cracked plenty of jokes along the tour

many that the bionic trio did not understand LMFAOO

you two are so fun together and everyone can see it, even the trio who be fighting for they lives whenever y'all are speaking to each other /j

leo probably tells u ab the whole bionic secret after you witness one too many close calls and the way you handle it makes his baby crush grow exponentially

like YOURE SO COOL???? DIDNT EVEN BLINK AT THIS ABSURD ASS PIECE OF INFORMATION???? GOD THEYRE COOL AS FUCK

you guys share hair information and you bring home hotel shampoo's for y'all to share LMFAO

he let you give him waves once

it was comedic

tasha loves you

she didn't know you for a while because leo never brought you up when y'all were just classmates but after y'all became actual friends, you'd get mentioned here and there

the first time he has you come over is to work on a school project

she meets you and is like omg hai i'm leo's mom

and he's kinda like 😐 pushing her away like he did in the avalanche episode with janelle LMFAO

you like "why you so mean to yo mama" and it makes him sweat /j

you like tasha too and you guys often have tea together when leo is late for y'all's lil hangouts

she gasses you up to leo all the time like he didn't know you first

"your friend, [name]? they're cute!!!" "i know mom" "go ahead and ask that out" "MOM"

he eventually does (it was actually you but he tells tasha it was him)

[subskz]

I will have to send two asks in short succession here causeeeeeeee the seungmin babygirl look (the thigh high fuzzy socks and mary janes) and the innie collar are going to take me out.

Let's start with seungmin because I can :)

Like the day the photos come out you praise him as you normally do when new teasers and stuff happen and he suspects nothing. HOWEVER. Like a week later you're waiting for him and there's a suspicious package waiting on the table that you tell him to open. He does and oh? Some very pretty thigh high socks? And a little pair of silky shorts? Hmmmmm what could the inspiration for these be 😋. You tell him to put them on, since you couldn't be there for the original photos so you want your little homemade version hehe. You meant it too, because you get right to ordering him around to pose in different angles and positions. Seungmin gets a little frustrated but doesn't show it, cause he truly expected to be bent over in an instant but nooooooo. While he's posing he does start thinking about all the things he wants you to do to him, and the next pose you order him into 🤭 you can see just how hard he is in those shorts. You're almost done the photoshoot anyways, but push it a little farther to see if Seungmin says anything. He doesn't, but he gets about 8 million times more restless. Eventually he can barely sit still which is just the PERFECT teasing opportunity. So you start poking in and Seungmin ignores and brushes it off as he usually does. But! It doesn't take long before he finally snaps "I want you to bend me over and fuck me, but apparently all you want is pictures!" AHAHAHAHA. 🤌 who knew this was all it took to break him. So you walk so so slowly towards him and grin and Seungmin is just like. Ah fuck, what have I done now

So much build up and for what? Why am I like this? He messes with my brain in a heinous way istg 🫥. Thank you to everyone who reads this, do not perceive me -🦊

the way u and 🐾 anon sent ur asks not even 5 minutes apart 😭 seungmo really had us all in his babydoll clutches w that fit

what a perfectly seungminnie scenario hehe it really does make for a great way to tease him bc of course he loves his pictures!! who is he to deny you snapping a million photos of him from every angle imaginable and fawning over how pretty your boy is. it’d be extra fun to pause after each new shot and make a big fuss of showing it to him so he can see how good he looks, both as a way to gradually fluster him more and more w all your compliments, and to chip away at his patience. even when he starts to get antsy, he tries his best hide it bc he can definitely sense some kind of trap being set up by you

ordering him to take poses where he can’t hide how worked up he’s made himself is soo evil i love it >:) you tell him to lean back a lil and spread his legs for you, and he just presses his lips together and awkwardly lets his arm rest between his thighs in a pointless attempt to hide his bulge…and when u still act oblivious it just makes his tension skyrocket bc even someone as disciplined as seungmo has his limits! can you imagine if you leaned in close to him and his breath kinda catches in his throat bc he thinks you’re finally gonna give him what he needs, only for you to mess w the frayed edges of his shorts and “adjust” them for the camera. he’d be a little mortified by how visibly he jolts when your fingers brush over his thighs, but that’s definitely the breaking point for him 💔 smth abt how pouty he sounds when he finally loses his patience makes all that tortuous buildup worth it

[fleetways]

would Sonic have fallen in love with Shadow eventually when he was hiding as Henry?

anon I need you to know that you are a seer—I received this literally the day after talking about this exact concept w someone! 😭 and safe to say I have many thoughts.

I can imagine two ways you might have meant this: the first being if Sonic somehow came across Henry in his natural habitat in Villenulle (either as a werehog or otherwise), and the second being if Shadow had kept up his Henry persona while staying at the castle.

I’m not really sure how the first would work given everything Sonic’s got going on in this au, but if Sonic was somehow normal (or pretending to be), I could see him meeting Henry by coincidence and having an instinctive draw to him, though he can’t quite put his finger on why. He would probably stick around the store and generally be a nuisance (by Henry’s standards anyways), but if there was ever a point where Sonic saw Henry’s facade slip to reveal his true nature, it would definitely solidify his resolve to get closer and figure this guy out. On the other hand, if it’s a case where Sonic too is trying to appear normal, the first glimpse Henry catches of Sonic’s true self, he’d be trying to get away from his as quickly as possible!

(also I wanna say the concept of Sonic falling for a “normal”/in-hiding Shadow has already been done phenomenally in @/sharpedgedfool’s museum au (which I am a hugggge fan of btw so u should definitely check it out go check it out now now now))

As for the second and more realistic scenario, Sonic would definitely not buy the “normal” act given how Henry ended up staying in the castle. But Shadow is a good actor (decent enough, anyways), and I think that would leave Sonic feeling frustrated when this Henry guy turns out to not align at all with what he was expecting. Funnily enough, because Sonic and Shadow’s personalities compliment each other so well as they are, I actually think it would take a lot longer for Sonic to connect with someone like Henry, even with his seemingly more friendly nature. That being said I absolutely see something eventually growing between them, and when it does, I can definitely see Sonic leaning more on what little Proper Courting™️ knowledge he retained from a couple hundred odd years ago in an attempt to woo him. It would definitely be a much slower burn kind of story, but the reward in turn is a fluff-fest featuring a properly chivalrous (and awkward as hell) Sonic, so I can definitely see the appeal (the appeal is to me btw it appeals to me holy shit)

Anyways, sorry to ramble! I’ve just been having Henry thoughts lately and this ask spurred some interesting ideas! Thank you for the ask and the interest in my little normal guy <3

back to december - terzo x transmasc reader with a kid

masterlist.

Author’s note: weewoo coming back out from my cave to bring this so buckle up boys we’re in for a ride on the hot mess express also requests are always open!! :) and, as always, thank you for all the love on my past two fics !! love u guys sm <3

Other things to note: angst/fluff (? idk u tell me i just write), reader and Terzo are ex lovers, reader is transmasc and he gave birth to a kid, reader is still in love with Terzo (and Terzo is still in love with him) 

Word count: 2947 words

You had been working very long hours at the Ministry library and were just about to leave for the night when he bumped into you in the hallway. 

“Terzo.” You said calmly, nodding in greeting with a skeptical look. “You look.. good.” 

He, of course, looked mildly surprised to see you. “Oh, thank you,” he said softly before looking slightly embarrassed. 

Even though you had been working at the Ministry for about 4 months or so, Terzo had never seen you around as you normally hid in the library sorting books. But of course, he thought he had seen you pass by his office, but he had dismissed it. He’d never admit it, but he was still very much in love with you, even after five years of distance standing between the two of you. 

“Likewise.” you responded with another nod, then sighed. You looked him up and down for a few seconds, eyeing his new-looking robes with a raised eyebrow. “They.. promoted you to Papa now?” 

Terzo looked at the robes, then glanced back at you. “Oh, yes, I am the new Papa now.” he gave a weak response, fidgeting slightly. He cleared his throat before speaking again. “It’s strange, at times. So much responsibility now, and yet it is so freeing.” he sighed. 

“Hm. I’m surprised they’d actually trust you with that position, given your… history.” You replied, your eyebrow still raised as you folded your arms.

“History is in the past, my old friend. It’s time to start anew, don’t you think?” He said with a small mischievous smile. “Anyway, how have you been?” he asked curiously. You rolled your eyes at his comment with a light smile. “If you say so. And I’ve been… busy, with this little one.” Your smile widens as you look down at the small child hiding behind you. The child peeked his head out and looked at Terzo with wide eyes. The child had most of your features, but his eyes… His right eye was green, but his left eye was white. 

Just like Terzo’s..

Terzo also looked down at the child with a slightly shocked expression. He smiled at him, then curiously tilted his head to the side as the child’s eyes caught his attention. “Is that your son?” he asked. 

“Yes, this is my son, Casper.” You said as you ruffled his short hair. “You can say hi if you want, bud. It’s okay, he’s friendly.” you reassured him.

“Hi..” Casper mumbled shyly, hiding behind you more and grabbing onto your shirt tighter. 

Terzo looked at the child, then looked at his eyes again. “Hello there, young one.” he greeted softly, squatting to level with Casper. “I like your hair, it’s cute.” 

Casper blushed at the compliment and turned his face away to hide it in your shirt, making you and Terzo chuckle. 

“How old is he, if I may ask? He looks so adorable.” Terzo asked softly. 

“Casper is five now, yeah?” You asked, trying to pry Casper out of hiding as him tugging on your clothing was starting to get uncomfortable. Terzo’s jaw dropped slightly as he stood up to look at you. Five years?! No, it couldn’t be possible. What had happened in those five years? He could vaguely remember, but.. no, those memories can't be true. His eyes shifted from you to Casper, and the child's eyes were starting to feel familiar to him.. familiar, but in which way? 

Casper stared at Terzo and imitated the shocked expression as he looked at Terzo’s eyes. He pointed up at Terzo. “Hey.. your eyes look like mine…” he mumbled. He paused for a moment, before looking back at you with wide eyes. He felt a wave of emotions hit him all at once, the years blending together.

He looked at the child's eyes, and they started to feel... he started to get a strange, yet comforting familiarity... the eye colors... 

Casper's eyes looked exactly like Terzo's eyes.

His mouth hung open.

“Wait... this is our...our son…” he whispered slowly, still in awe and shock. “Yes.. it is.” You sighed and nodded, meeting his eyes. Oh, those eyes… 

“You kept him with you, all this time…” he said, before frowning. “Why did you never tell me? I would have loved to meet our son. I miss him already.” he sighed. He looked at you and Casper with longing in his eyes; he couldn't remember loving anyone as much as he did you two. What a fool he was for forgetting his beloved and his own flesh and blood.

You looked at him with an unamused expression. “Well, the last time I saw you, you seemed pretty occupied with a ghoul.” 

Terzo nodded, remembering now that you had been right, “Yes, I had a thing with a young ghoul, back then…” he sighed. 

“I'm not proud of it.” he confessed, sounding mildly ashamed.

“Well, at least you finally own up to your mistake.” You said, rolling your eyes. 

“Can I hold my son?” He asked, his arms outstretched.

“I don't know, does he want you to hold him?” you looked down and ran a hand through Casper's hair with a smile.

Casper nodded slowly and hesitantly walked over to Terzo and lifted his arms for Terzo to hold him. “Up, up, please..”

He smiled at the tiny boy, before scooping him gently into his arms. “Thank you, little one,” he whispered, before turning back to you.

“I still regret it; I never should've done that,” he sighed. 

“How has he been? Is he healthy?” He looked at the child in his arms, with their eyes. His eyes.

Casper stared at Terzo in awe, gently playing with Terzo’s bangs. 

“Um.. he had a bit of a cold last week, but he should be all good now..” you smiled softly as Terzo held Casper in his arms. 

Terzo smiled. “I'm glad he's doing better.” he said before adjusting the boy in his arms and rocking him lightly. He felt the years that had separated him from you and Casper melt away. After all, he was back with the people he loved.

“I'm so sorry,” he whispered. “I feel foolish, that I left you all alone... I wish I was here to see him grow.” He looked down at the boy, before kissing his cheek, making Casper giggle. 

“...Thank you.” You said softly and smiled at Terzo, but this time more genuinely. It meant more to you that he apologized for his mistakes, knowing how stubborn he can get. 

He nodded, and looked down at the boy, whose eyes were still following Terzo's movements.

“He seems.. comfortable. Are you alright if I keep him, only for a bit?” He asked gently.

“I just feel like I've been missing the other half of myself, and seeing him makes me feel whole again.” he whispered, chuckling as Casper still played with his bangs. 

You thought for a moment, skeptical of what Terzo might be up to. You didn’t want Casper around the ghouls at this age as the ghouls can be very reckless. “I… I’m not sure.. I mean, I would let you have him for a few hours, but I’m not sure if he’d be up to that..” 

Terzo looked up at you, then back down at Casper. “Hey there, little one. Would you like to come with Papa for a while?” He asked softly. Casper mumbled something incoherent, then looked back at you in reassurance. You smiled. “Do you want to go home and grab some of your spaceships first?” You offered, to which Casper nodded enthusiastically. 

Terzo nodded and smiled. “Of course.”

He looked up at you once more. “You and I have a lot to catch up on,” he said with a mild smile, before looking back at the little boy. “Do you think it would be fine if I came with you to grab your spaceships?” He asked softly.  You were right, Casper might not want to, which is why he waited for the boy to decide; he’s had a lot of changes forced upon him, and he wasn't about to force another change onto him, even if it was from his father. “Yeah, we do indeed.” You agreed, nodding.

Casper nodded happily as well. “Yeah! I can show you all my X-Wings, and- and my B-Wing, and- and my starfighters too!” He squirmed in Terzo’s arms, and Terzo set him down. 

Terzo laughed lightly at the boy's enthusiasm. “Alright, alright. Your spaceships, it is,” he said with a smile, before looking at you again.

“Can you take us back to your home?” He asked curiously.

“Yeah, sure… C’mon, Casper, we’re gonna go get your spaceships now!” You said with a big smile, holding your hand out for Casper to take, which he did excitedly. 

The three of you walked to your car, and you opened the back door for Casper, who climbed into his car seat and buckled himself in. 

You got in the driver’s side of the car and Terzo walked to the passenger side, getting in as well. As you drove home to your apartment, Terzo spoke up. “Do you think he’ll play with me?” 

“Oh, of course. He’s really into Star Wars right now, so he’ll definitely play Jedi with you.” You smiled at the memory of when you and Terzo used to have Star Wars marathons back when you were together. 

He nodded, but then his eyes widened as he thought of something.

“Wait a second,” he said with a frown. “Have you... told him that I'm his father?” he asked curiously. It's a heavy question, but one needs to be asked.

“..No. I haven’t yet. I… I’m not sure what to do.” You sighed, rubbing your forehead with one hand still on the wheel, focusing on the road ahead of you. It was true, you thought you were still angry with him for leaving you alone, running after a young ghoul to fulfill his fantasies and discarding you to the side, as if you were just a phase to him. But once Casper came along… 

you weren’t sure of your feelings for him. You still won’t admit it, but you still loved Terzo. Very much.

He bit his lip, and nodded, "It is.. complicated. I guess I'll just tell him that I'm a family friend, for the time being."

He nodded again, looking at the young child in the backseat. He felt his heart ache for these two, and the time they had lost. 

“Say.. do you have other plans tonight, other than spending time with your little one?” He asked curiously. “Could I.. stay with you, for the evening? Of course, I want to spend time with him, but most importantly.. I want to spend time with you.”

You sighed again, unsure of what to say. Terzo sensed your hesitation and felt his heart hurt again, thinking of the years and years that had separated them. “Please.. it's all I ask for.” he asked gently and with his signature soft tone, the one you could never say no to. 

You sighed again. “We.. we’ll talk about it when we get home.” 

He nodded, feeling his heart ache. Not a lot could've made him happy, but you could easily do that.

About twenty minutes later, they finally arrive at the apartment building. You get out of the car first then help Casper out of his carseat. You then walk towards the stairs and climb up to your apartment.

He followed the two of you up the stairs, watching as you walked to the door and entered the apartment. He looked around, seeing the state the tiny apartment was in. There were only two small rooms, a small living room, and an even smaller kitchen. The small living room was littered with toy spaceships and Star Wars Lego figurines. 

How had things become this bad for you?  Was rent really that high? Terzo had never noticed as he had always lived at the Ministry. 

His eyes settled onto Casper, who was zooming around the living room, and he smiled. Casper. The boy was adorable, and looked so much like you. Terzo felt his heart ache for them both... for what he could've, and should've, done. Terzo laughed softly as he watched Casper run back into his room as he said he was gonna grab his Grogu figure. You smiled as you walked to the kitchen. You had changed, too. 

“Where'd he go?” Terzo asked, his eyes shifting to where the child ran off to. 

“Oh, he just went into his room.” You smiled softly. “You can come in, just put your shoes inside by the door.” He stepped in, and looked around the modest apartment. It wasn't much, and the mess, while not as noticeable as you had said earlier, was still present. His eyes landed on the coffee table, and Terzo walked to it, picking up one of the spaceship toys that were scattered around. He set it down as Casper ran back into the living room holding an oversized Grogu plushie. Casper held it above his head to show Terzo. “Look, look! When I first got him, he was bigger than me! But then- then I growed! Dad said I growed!” He said happily. 

He nodded at Casper, while smiling at the boy. Terzo felt his heart ache for the child, who seemed starved for attention. He wanted someone to pay attention to him. It was almost like he was looking at his younger self.

“Can I ask you a question?” He looked up from Casper and asked as you walked over from the kitchen to the couch where Terzo was sitting, handing him a water bottle. 

“Yeah, sure. Goob, can you put all these spaceships away nicely, please?” You asked Casper with a smile, and he did as you said happily, picking up all his toys and putting them in his room. He stayed inside his room, playing with the spaceships he had cleaned up. 

Terzo took the water bottle before cracking the lid and drinking from it.

“Thank you,” he said softly, then looked back at you. 

“How are you holding up?.. I mean emotionally,” he clarified quietly. “You used to be so bright and energetic, and yet now it seems like the light in your eyes has dimmed.”

He looked at you with concern, his voice soft and caring. 

you sighed as he set the water bottle down on the coffee table, staring at the stray spaceship on the floor that Casper forgot to pick up.

“..it's just been.. really difficult, these past few months especially. I've been working two jobs to pay the rent here and to feed the both of us.. I don't know. I want him to do well, but… sometimes I wonder if I'm doing this whole parenting thing wrong or not.” 

He nodded, understanding how difficult the situation must be. 

“No, you're a good parent... I mean it. You have such a kind soul, and you work so damn hard to give the best life to the two of you that you possibly can.”

He hesitated, but his concern for you and Casper overwhelmed him. In a sudden moment of courage, he leaned in, and gently, lovingly, kissed you on your cheek.

“hm. thanks.” You smiled a bit.

You froze as Terzo kissed your cheek. You looked at him for a moment, unsure of what to say. You sighed heavily. “You.. you really hurt me. And... I shouldn’t give you another chance, but.. I can never stay mad at you. I love you too much to move on.”

Terzo looked at you, his eyes soft and his smile still on his face.

He nodded, his voice a mixture of guilt, regret, and honesty. “I know I hurt you, and for that I am so damn sorry. I've regretted it for months. And I know this is no replacement, but I'd do anything just to be able to take the pain away from you.”

His eyes looked at you. “I love you. I do. I love you, and no matter how much pain I've caused you, I still love you.” “I… I love you too..” you whispered, feeling a tear fall down your cheek. “And.. I forgive you… 

Terzo's smile widened as he heard your answer.

“Thank you,” he said as he got up, his legs feeling weak and shaky at the prospect of spending a romantic night with the man he loved. He crossed the room, and stepped close to you.

“I know this will never make up for what we've lost,” he said. “But I'm going to try damn well to do it right, starting tonight.”

He smirked, and kissed you softly on the lips.

You blushed as Terzo kissed you, just like all those years ago. You sighed into the kiss and wrapped your arms around Terzo's neck, pulling him in gently. Whatever anger and hatred you felt towards Terzo in the last five years had suddenly melted away. 

Terzo returned the kiss with passion, his heart racing as tears ran down his eyes. He knew he had hurt you, so much, and yet.. even through all the anger and hate you felt, and the heartbreak and sadness, you never stopped loving him… I love you, so, so much. I can still save us. 

He kissed your neck softly, his lips lingering in a caress.

“I swear to everything that is holy and unholy, this will work,” he whispered. “We will make this right. I will become a better man, I’ll help raise our child…” he held your hand.

“This is the night everything changes, for the better.”

Hi typology Tumblr 😮‍💨

It has gotten to the very sad point to where I genuinely can not type myself in any typology system so I wrote a little paragraph about me I apologize as it is all over the place but I did the best I could 🫠 if anyone is willing to help type me I’ll be more than appreciative- unfortunately I can’t offer much in return, maybe a follow and like spam? But thank you for reading this fair anyway and feel free to use anything I said in this intro to type me as well

Me: Okay so when I first meet someone- I’m very shy but polite. I give compliments if I’m trying to make friends with the person I’m talking to. Normally I like to be approached first

With acquaintances I’m myself but I dial down just a tad bit. My personality also adjust to the people I’m around with acquaintances.

With close friends I can be kinda loud but I’m very friendly.

Across all three scenarios I’m very sarcastic but I remain polite depending on how close we are.

When I’m by myself I enjoy listening to music while scrolling on Pinterest or TikTok. I do have an eye for aesthetics. I occasionally write poetry. I also can daydream when I’m alone. When I’m with others I am very practical and grounded and in the moment. When I’m with myself in in my mind. I am EXTREMELY passionate and it can sometimes come off as rudeness. I am also very sensitive and don’t take well to criticism of any kind Real life scenarios I have been in relating to me being passionate to my values- I value respecting teachers not only because they want the best for the class but because it helps the class flow better and acting out is honestly annoying so when push comes to shove I will say something like “Respectfully, shut the fuck up” but I just want the class to flow slowly

Also- I highly value respecting boundaries and my ex friend did cross one of my boundaries before so I did cuss her out on her birthday and then ghosted her but like it’s not rlly even my fault fr

Also I can get to work and be extremely serious when need be but I often procrastinate. I also really like material things. I have a fear of fatal accidents and things like getting kidnapped but I’m not a skeptical person. I also have a very playful personality with my friends. I’m also learning a foreign language and enjoy it. I also get emotional sometimes. I could see a video of a new singer living paycheck to paycheck and their video only has one like and it breaks my heart. I could see an overweight dog and my heart breaks because obesity in dogs is fatal and that poor baby wasn’t even trying to get fat. In response I get enraged with the owner/ who’s responsible. Sometimes I get mad at the person who’s also the victim because you know that artistic careers barely make anything but you chose it anyway now I’m sad for you but you brought the life upon yourself Stress- under stress I get extremely nervous however I try my best to rise to the occasion

Fear- painful / undesirable death, experiencing any traumatic event, poor quality of life

Desire- to be happy , be everyone’s favorite

1) I’m focused on defending myself more than I’m focusing on defending others but I’ll say something if I see something 🤷‍♀️

2) I value my autonomy but I will not hesitate to get other options. Following their advice tho might be a little diff

Authority- I to be in those positions. Loathe rude, stuck up, money centered , greedy, selfish authoritarians

Morals- very important. Would die on a hill for my morals. I keep an open mind to everything but my values and morals and truly do believe that they are correct

Success- in the sense of e3s I think fame, riches , etc but for me success is not living paycheck to paycheck, good social group, good career

Anger- I tend to be ready to express it but u funny way to get myself in trouble so I hold back sometimes. BIG BIG BIG EMPHASIS ON SOMETIMES

Opinions on certain things - Philosophy- very overrated. It’s glamorized thought process

Politics - the vast majority of politicians running shouldn’t be

Practicality- good to have

Intellectual- also good to have

Physically- keep yourself in shape ig 🤷‍♀️

Home and school life - Home- very tense, poverty stricken, argumentative, very chaotic

School- more relaxed, pressure on self , feeling not wanted by peers and feeling like I’m annoying

Songs I relate to - groan by daisy and the scouts, ride by Lana Del Rey, watercolor eyes by Lana Del Rey

[bigstupid69]

u seem rly cool and I am too nervous to not use anonymous on these things but please I wanna hear stuff about your Penny Lamb so badly after seeing random people saying it was inaccurate

Thank you anon I'll put them under the cut

Okay first off and I'm not bashing this hc whatsoever and I literally use these pronouns, but I do not think she would be entirely okay with it/it's pronouns being used on her after the whole Jane Doe incident, since y'know being called a freaky monster isn't really a compliment? Penny is weird I know that, but I also just don't think she really enjoyed being Jane Doe, like at all. In fact I think it was pretty traumatic for her, I've shown this in fics I've abandoned but she has a very complicated relationship with herself and her identity after the incident. It's obviously hallucinations from declining mental health and the fact Uranium probably doesn't have a licensed therapist. But still, almost turns into a sense of derealization or dissociation.

After the accident at least with my Jane Doe design the little cracks on the dolls head basically turn into scars, I've also just given her extra since I like drawing scars they're cool. I don't remember what eye it was I think it was right, but she's partially blind and uses a glass eye after the incident. She likes to take it out and freak people out.

I think I've only seen this in some fics but she is not like dumb, at all. She's silly and weird yeah, but she is very smart and actually knows how to do things. I mean she's literally taking care of Ezra and is practically a mother figure to him at this point because of their parents being arrested.

She skates and she sucks at it, one of the reasons why she is constantly looking like she got hit by a semi-truck.

She worked as a scare actor with Mischa at the fair before the incident.

I don't wanna make this about perfectdolls but this can just be in general, Penny would NOT use a normal ass petname for anyone. She would just use some random ass word, I made it a joke that she just calls Ocean different names of bodies of water that get progressively more stranger everytime.

Shes a contortionist, and purposely creeps people the fuck out because of it. Also one of the reasons why she was a scare actor for the fair as a part time job.

Also she hates the cameras since it reminds her too much of the Johnny Moon incident, mugshots, she literally maimed a guy

Anyways there's definitely more but here you go

[ode2rin]

us again 🙁🙁🙁🙁 it was actually so good i’m so glad you decided to pick it up again THANK YOU FOR SHARING TJAT WITH US DONT EVER LEAVE PLSKDJFB

Anyway i will send a long ask about quotes i liked because i need to express my awe and support and compliment U because omg. what.

After all, everything here in this town is about you and him. 

i like how you decided to set it in a town instead of just saying smth like city or whatever, because i find it more like … romantic? and YES the way we rot in his memories he’s never getting rid of us we are his childhood and literally 19 years of his life t-t THE OTHER HALF OF HIS HEART (like u said).

And deep down, he didn’t want to believe it either – until that day you decided not to show up when you promised you would.

OUCH. the paragraphs before this one too i love the way you portrayed his coping to himself and how much of an effect we had on him 😭😭 at first i was like wrf i can’t believe we ghosted him like that but after reading the letter i would definitely do the exact same thing i’m ngl 😭😭

A thousand emotions danced in his eyes, each one a testament to the love that once blossomed between you.

i love it when they can’t ever forget about us. the use of the word blossom makes it seem like such a temporary thing and it just screams highschool romance because flowers don’t blossom often (like what… once a year or smth???) and that’s like saying our love blossomed and was peak in the past and idk what i’m saying but i hope yk what i’m saying and i hope i’m not misinterpreting ur work LOL but i just had to sauce this one in here too

In this universe, you're just some two ghosts standing in the place of you and him, haunted by the memories of what once was while trying to remember what it feels to have a heartbeat.

the alternate universe comparison I EAT IT UP ALWAYS BUT IVE NEVER SEEN ANYONE USE GHOST BEFORE TO DESCRIBE IT AND IM JUST LIKE WHAT YOURE SO SMART !!! HAUNTED BY MEMORIES TOO?? MIMI IS SO BIG BRAIN

while you share a kiss as greedy and fiery as the sea’s yearning for the moon.

the sea’s yearning for the moon that’s all.

I would’ve traded all my tomorrows for just one yesterday with you.

now this is genius. traded the tomorrows aka trading your entire future and dream and careers just for one moment in your fleeting highschool teenage romance with sae that was left in the past ……. 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

so yeah. i love your writing lots and i’m glad we’re moots<3 thank you mimi!!!!! and thanks for listening to my little rant tehe

yumi. YUMI. i would really really really love to hug you right now like this INSTANT (ಥ﹏ಥ)

the fact that you even took the time to go over the whole fic (ik it's a lot bit ._.) is enough to make me go ➡️ o(〒﹏〒)o btw i can't even start to articulate better word to tell you how thankful i am. YOU CAN HAVE A HUNDRED MANGOES FROM ME PLEASE 🥭

let me go over your fave quotes (that made my heart go swell btw wdym i have quotes now) AAAAAAA

➼ the small town !! let me telle you something, i actually love small town romance like a not so normal amount, it's prolly included in my top 5 tropes pls. i just love it when the other leaves and the other stays and by fate, they just meet again to rekindle what was once their shared memories. childhood friends to lovers is nice but if it's small town? NOM NOM I LOVE IT i've always wanted to try writing it and who's a better choice to try than our mr. i went to spain right here (even if it's not fullblown focus on that trope..)

➼ THE LETTER AHSJKAJSHAJ ngl, i would also do the same thing .. i just think sae is the kind to hold grudges lmao he definitely held MASSIVE hatred for not showing up

➼ i like using the word blossom in describing past love sometimes because (1) i love flowers, (2) it's a one time thing aka seasonal and it fits characs that yknow will fall in love once or twice in their whole life and that's it, (3) and lastly, it's temporary and it passes like time.. I LOVE YOU YUMI YOU REALLY GET ME I'M GIVING YOU SMOOCHES RN

➼ two ghost is actually a song !! i love that song so much (rumor has it that it's about taylor swift since she's harry's ex 👀) i've been listening to it and got inspired by the lyrics <3

➼ there's this children bed time story my friend told me abt that the reason why there are high tides is bec of a prince imprisoned in the sea and the moon was actually a goddess that he got punished for loving? and everytime the tide is high it means he's trying to reach for the goddess I CAN'T REMEMBER BUT THAT WAS THE STORY BEHIND IT and i decided to use it bec damn that story is the definition of yearning come on..

➼ now that line.. i was making pancakes when i thought of that oh my god and i reached out to the nearest paper i could find bec what if it leaves my mind 😭 ngl i love love love that :(

it's ME who should be glad 🫂 i'm glad i wrote make you mine bec it led u to MEEEEEEEE (iirc we became moots bec of it :>)

[celestie0]

IT’S CELESTIEFAN3000 i have to say i like tumblr way more than ao3 so i’ll be using this to comment from now on 😋 But i would like to personally thank you for writing chapter 9, your author voice is genuinely so appealing and HONESTLY you could pass off as a literal professional author if I didn’t know this was fanfiction!

Now for the uglier feelings: (please ignore typos or other mistakes i wrote a lot. I am very normal about kickoff, obviously)

I SOBBED LIKE A BABY MIDWAY AND BECAME A CRYING SOUND EFFECT AT THE END OK OK OKAYYYYYYY 😭😭💫💫 I’m still dizzy and lightheaded from the effect ur writing gives me (THIS IS A GOOD THING) it’s so addicting i need more😭‼️ UGHHHH the way you build that exact RIGHT amount of comfort to compensate for the suffering you’ve but us through but still managed to EDGE US AT THE END . I WISH YOU WEREN’T SO GOOD AT THIS FANFICTION THING, BECAUSE DAMN! 😭😭😭😭

The scenes were so fucking beautiful, I love the peaceful atmosphere that rain gives and how you were able to contrast that as an escape from that horrible loud and noisy bar to just a horrible man!!!!! You really know how to direct scenes and i can not express in words how much they mean to me 🥹🥹😭😭😭

I feel like I’ve overused the crying face emoji too much in my ask BUT I ACTUALLY MEAN IT HERE EVERY TIME I can fill an entire glass up of my tears that kickoff caused me to shed alone 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Everything was just great vegetables, this chapter will definitely be haunting me while I sleep but it ended with an amazing scenario to build off of and dream about RIGHT?☺️ Anyway, my last words here are that I admire how you’ve been working on this project for around a couple months now nonstop, but the quality has not dropped and has instead improved despite it getting really tiring the more you carry on with it! Maybe that’s just how I feel about finishing what I’ve started LMAO but it’s so impressive every time I see someone able to pull that off, I’ve seen some fics succumb to the tragedy of “i-just-want-to-get-this-over-with-because-the-concept-no-longer-interests-me-anymore”-ness 😔 BUT WITH KICKOFF! I’m so happy that the author is as passionate about the characters and plot in their fanfiction as I am, and hard work really does pay off! (for the reader, hard work is waiting 3 weeks for a new fic— but the read’s always better the longer you wait 😉)

My ADHD really came out here I deeply apologize but my ACTUAL final words are: I wish I had a bf like gojo, Oh My God You Are A Legend Ellie, You are most deserving person of meeting Gojo Satoru FIRST if he ever comes to life, it is 1am haha so i’m sleeping now ☺️🤍 Celestiefan300 out!

MY SWEET ANGEL BB CELESTIEFAN3000 😭🫶🏼💕💕 HI DEAR

PLS IM SO SORRY FOR THE SAD EMOTIONSS aaa yes the baby steps to build their relationship has been……baby stepping indeed LOL but it was so nice to write the scene at rhe end where gojo comforts her 😭💕 so excited to write lovey dovey gojo now

eeeeeee 🫶🏼💕

[earthtooz]

hi earth! i was wondering if you possibly had any advice for anyone who wants to start a writing blog or general tips. if you’re comfortable with it, it would also be cool to know what your writing process is like! you write very well so i’m just curious. thank you for taking the time to read this and i hope you have a lovely day!

first of all, this ask was what got me out of bed in the morning to go to my laptop where i did nothing for like 2 hours.

ANYWAYS I’ve been awake for seven hours now and i still haven’t answered it LOL, but thank u for taking the time to pop into my inbox anon!! so honoured u thought of me 🤭🤭

i’m more than happy to answer any questions u may have!! i’ve only been writing here for like one and a half years but I’ll gladly share some tips for new writers <3

tips for new writers - writing on tumblr in general:

formatting and your writing style is very important!!! people most of the time will like stories that have good grammar and are easy to read, so know your punctuation- duh, i mean, most people know where to put their commas, full stops, and shit, but as even a native English speaker i still need to double check sometimes 😭😭😭

ALSO, figure out if you’re a writer who likes to write with proper punctuation or in lower case like i am rn. people on tumblr don’t care which one you opt for so it’s a matter of personal preference!!

personally, i like to use proper punctuation for longer fics with more plot, and lower case writing for normal drabbles, headcannons, etc, all up to you :3 depends on what i feel like tho, i just like the look of lower case hehe

also, you can totally write drafts on tumblr or another platform - i switch between docs and tumblr. shorter pieces on tumblr and longer pieces on Google docs !!

how to get attention on tumblr as a new writer - the importance of tags:

USE THE TAGS - DON’T BE SHY !!! USE A VARIETY !!!! it’s so easy to get reads on tumblr if you just know your tags. i also will say: be mindful of whether or not you stay in tags bc your post can suddenly just disappear- this has happened to me so many times 😭😭 to do that just search if your fic is still popping up in the ‘recent’ section of the tags AND EVERY TIME AFTER U POST SOMETHING, TAKE THE TIME TO SEARCH IF IT’S IN THE ‘RECENT’ TAGS.

(this part might make zero sense, but if it’s been a couple hours and your post still is not popping up, you can either edit it again, make no changes, and press ‘save’.)

general tips:

have an aesthetic layout.

obviously it’s not ‘essential’, but i always find myself more likely to follow blogs that are pretty or have an aesthetics

it takes so long to do but it’s so worth it 😭 if you looks at the fics that do very well, the formatting it very beautiful and pleasing to the eye.

if you’re struggling with a layout, there are so many inspos available on tumblr, just search up ‘blog inspo’ or ‘layout inspo’ and you’ll generally be pretty successful. if all else fail just go to your fav blogs and see how they set up their blog/navigation/aesthetic!!!

having a set colour for your blog can also look nice and less chaotic. for example; mine is red and it’s my (usually) go-to colour for a lot of stuff. just make sure u like the colour tho ☝️

also don’t be afraid to talk to people! AUTHORS LOVE WHEN YOU COMPLIMENT THEIR WORK!! getting mutuals is such a great feeling so PUT YOURSELF OUT THERE !!!!! MAKE FRIENDS 😮😮

my writing process:

i am that writer that likes to have a plot before i start anything, but it’s never complete. normally when i’m going abt my day, i suddenly think of a piece of dialogue or scenario that makes me go ‘hold on. let me write that down’.

for example, recently i thought of a piece of dialogue for an angst fic (that i don’t know if i’ll use) that goes:

‘no i’m not upset that you forgot about our anniversary, in fact, i already predicted you would.’

another idea i had was: you don’t ever want to leave nagi seishiro hungry.

sometimes I get these ideas when i’m in bed like bro 😐 let me rest…

if i feel inspired enough to continue said ideas, i do, but i never force the fic from happening bc then it’ll be mediocre and just… okay. not something i want on my blog 😭

but then i decide the wordlength, how many scenes i want to be in there. for example, my mistletoe todoroki fic i set out for 4k and met my goal. but my itoshi rin Xmas fic only met around 1k when my goal was 2k - sometimes this happens and i cant be mad if i think the story is done there.

it’s never that organised though, if you look at my drafts, it’s a scrabble of words. i jump from scene to scene with big gaps in between that i need to fill in later 😭 but that’s just how i write LOL ! you may be totally different from me which is a-okay :3

then i grind til the fic is done, reread then bam 💪 ! do my usual formatting on tumblr, tags, and then you’ll see the final result!! easier said than done bc when you want to be done with a fic and just post it, you then need to do all the actual presentation of the fic 😭😭😭

anyways yeah, that’s my process summarised lol!! hope it helped u get a little bit of an idea for what the earthtooz blog grind looks like 🫡

so yeah, i think that’s all i rly need to say!! if you wanna follow my advice or not, up to u, but once again, thank u for popping in my inbox anon and asking me!! gave me something to do whilst on my walk 🤭

cant wait to see what you write, always feel free to come back and ask if you need some ‘extra help’, but i believe in you! good luck and have fun writing, and i hope to see u in the tags someday :D

[sweet-star-cookie]

heyo!! figured as I am finished with writing SLM, it's my turn to be your reader and analyze the existing three pages of your comic :D

there's actually not really that much to analyze, but i'll do my best:

page 1:

looks like some type of eclipse?

signifying some sort of event involving Solaris and Lunaris?

page 2:

the big dipper! also known as Ursa Major, aka, the big bear

the stars making up Ursa Major starting out dim and then shining brighter is indicative of light magic?

page 3:

the stars are now falling down (presumably to earth)

the purple and yellow coloration of the stars indicates corruption

potentially meaning that Ursa Major is now corrupted and is falling down to Earth? (you did say that Ursa Major and Ursa Minor are the very first constellations that Cassie ever encounters, so perhaps these first few pages are setting up their meeting?)

all of your art is stunning as always, especially the night sky backgrounds!! can't wait for the next page :DD

Awwww!!! That's so sweet of you, omg :'D You're right that there isn't too much to glean from here yet, but thank you for taking to time to analyze them anyway!

I actually hadn't thought about it looking like an eclipse at the start, but I enjoy that comparison a lot! Mostly I just wanted to open on the moon for future symbolism/connection with Lunaris later (other than simply showing that it's night time of course), and to show some of the relevant magic colours. Get used to unnaturally coloured skies in general though, I just think they're way prettier that way, haha!

Ursa Major, or Ursa Minor? ;D Admittedly I did tilt the constellation a bit here compared to how it normally appears in the sky so it guides the reader's eye down the page more. I don't really mind the confusion though, as 1. The constellations are very similar in shape already, and 2. Considering how big and scary the bear already looks when corrupted (you'll see soon!) it'll be hard to tell which one it is until you see both of them together later.

Vulpecula is the very first constellation that Cassie herself actually sees (she'll appear in a scene very close to this one so I don't really consider that a spoiler haha) but I wanted to show another one appearing on Earth before she is introduced to showcase some of the spooky spirit stuff that's happening first. That and to show how a constellation falls to Earth in general, yes it's in the synopsis but I felt it was important to actually show it at some point, and this felt like a good time. Honestly I get really indecisive with opening scenes when it comes to my stories, another indicator of my rookie status with this sort of thing, but I'm happy with this direction :D

And thank you for the compliment about the backgrounds! ❤️ I'm not nearly as good at them as I am with drawing characters, but I do far better with organic/natural backgrounds in general ;u; And of course I have a lot more practice with stars/night skies because I love them so much! The scene after this one will feature part of Cassie's town though, so we'll see how well I do with that! I'm looking forward to seeing my improvement as I continue making this comic, I think it'll finally get me to practice them more. I've been trying out a few techniques that have helped me out a lot lately, so I'm excited to learn more!

Thanks for reading!!! :D

[nebuliias]

I read your post about being the younger sibling of Sunday and Robin, and let me just say, I am SO glad I'm not the only one who enjoys the idea! There is so much potential!!!

Though I'd like to offer a new flavor of sibling fic: the two chicken wing sibs are normal, but their youngest sibling is like Jim Hawkins from Treasure Planet. Rebellious and reckless, always getting into trouble on the solar surfer. Why? Because they feel neglected. They feel that the only way to feel alive again is to zip around in restricted areas of Dream's Edge, making the Bloohounds chase after them. Again. And Sunday can only sigh and punish them for their reckless behavior. Again.

Because let's face it, if the youngest sibling is unremarkable in any way, shape, or form, they're gonna be overshadowed and forgotten. Sunday is the head of the Oak family, and Robin is an intergalactic superstar. All the youngest can say they've done was build a solar surfer from spare parts that Robin brought back for them.

(As you can see, this idea has been Plaguing Me)

— just trust me, you’ll be fine..

ft. you’re the sibling of sunday and robin who’s frequently overshadowed by them

cw: hurt/comfort-ish but not really ig, PLATONIC, reader is aged 15, reader is halovian but no specified appearance other than halo and wings, mentions of maeven ellis and makeup and all that stuff, gn! reader, also reader’s a performer

a/n’s note: hiiii anon, tysm for the idea!! sorry if its not exactly how u wanted it, i didnt know how to write it down that detailed since idk the character too well so i switched up some things and roles :(( i hope u like it though, i tried 😓 BTW THIS IS LONG AS HELL AND IDK HOW TO CHECK WORD COUNT ON MOBILE SO ENJOY‼️

— to the entirety of penacony, you’re the sibling of sunday and robin who’s simply just.. there. sure, they respect and acknowledge your presence when you appear in public, but it’s not as grand and respectable when your siblings make way on the streets.

— being the youngest has its cons as well. you’re pretty lonely since your sister is in and out of the home planet, and your brother is always busy upholding his duties. they weren’t neglectful to you, oh no. they just never really had the time for you..

— because of this, you had to get creative with entertaining yourself. your passion for two of the seven fine arts, sculpture and performing, distracted you from the solitude.

— occasionally, robin would buy you materials so you could sculpt simple creations which made you feel overjoyed. you would spend hours trying to perfect a single masterpiece to gift sunday. when you did give it to him, he would always pat you on the head and thank you for the gift with a smile and proceed to put it on a shelf with the rest of your artworks. after that, he would practically never mention it again.

— it didn’t dishearten you entirely, but it made you feel.. empty? you knew you couldn’t cry over something so small, it was too pathetic to do so, right? plus, you couldn’t really tell robin about it. after all, what was she going to anyway?

— as for your love for performing, it was beyond explanation. your older siblings had enrolled you into a theatre arts center that was administered by the iris family themselves. on the weekends, you would go there to attend classes on performances to practice and learn about acting since you strived to become a famous artiste, just like your sister!

— almost immediately did you fit in with the school. your drama coach praised you for your exceptional talents, and newly made friends complimented for your devoted skills for someone who just arrived! but of course, they were just compliments. who knew if they were your friends just because you were the sibling of the great sunday and lovable robin..?

— but because you had just recently joined, you weren’t offered opportunities just yet. instead, you assisted those who worked in theatre production, the ones who help make the sets, costumes, etc. however, you didn’t let the chance go to waste, but you decided to go against telling your siblings since compared to what they have accomplished, your achievement was like ashes flowing in the wind.

— was this envy?

— eventually, you dropped your habit of sculpting to pursue your dream in acting. sometimes, you would sneak out in the night to go towards the center’s theater where the more experienced students held their musicals, plays, and such, even though sunday had basically forbidden you from leaving the abode late in the evening.

— while in disguise, you blended in with the audience and watched as the performers sung, danced, or acted on stage, praying to xipe that maybe, just maybe, you would be the one the audience would be clapping for one day. and that maybe penacony would finally view you with the same admiration that they gave to sunday and robin.

— unfortunately, while returning home after one of your escapades, you ran into your older siblings, and boy, did it turn out so great..

you knew you had messed up big time terribly when you found yourself sitting in a chair a foot away from sunday, his molten gold eyes glaring daggers at you. robin simply stood nearby, a compassionate look in her sparkly eyes.

“so tell me,” sunday began to say, “why on earth are you just returning home at almost midnight, wearing clothes suitable for a banquet?”

robin sighed before looking away from you, probably aware of why you were dressed that way. after all, she knew of your dedication towards the fine arts. meanwhile, one of your hands nervously stroked the feathers of your dainty wings while the other dug around inside your handbag. “uhm, well, i-“

“do you know just how close i was to sending the bloodhounds after you? do you know how worried sick we were because of your sudden disappearance?” sunday asked, his voice shattering the quietness of the study room.

you flinched at his sudden tone, your hands shaping into trembling fists. your face heated up in shame, your eyes burning with unshed tears. your older sister, sensing your fear, rushed to The Family’s head side and grabbed ahold of his hand. “brother, please, watch your tone.. i’m sure they didn’t mean to.”

this was supposed to an action to ease your turmoil, to soothe sunday’s temper, but this infuriated you.

unexpectedly, you stood up and yelled at them, uncaring of whoever could be nearby.

“shut the hell up! i’m tired of hiding in the dark. you two always get all the recognition, while i’m left in the shadows. while you get the praise and recognition for what you’ve done, i’m left unnoticed! does anyone bother to recognize my efforts? no, all because you're both prominent and more experienced! its not fair at all.. i have talents and abilities too, you know. why do i always have to be the one to fade into the background?”

your siblings were stunned. they weren’t expecting such.. a strong reaction from you. sunday’s glaring eyes softened and gave you an outstretched hand, only for you to shove it away.

as if a switch had been flipped, you took a deep breath in and out, a tear rolling down your suddenly now-jaded face. “who cares, honestly," you gave a dry laugh, throwing your handbag down in frustration. "it’s not like anyone will ever notice my hard work anyway." with that, you stormed off, dropping off the conversation and leaving the room.

among the spilled items on the floor, a crumpled flyer innocently lay there. sunday, with a remorseful sigh, picked it up and smoothed it out, holding it towards the moonlight where robin could also see it.

“Sonata Productions Presents: the upcoming musical, “Harmonium Heights” that’ll be held in Moondrop Coliseum located in Moment of Stars!”

“Starring Y/N in her debut role as the main and noble protagonist, we invite you to join us for an evening of unforgettable music, as we witness the rise of a star shine on the Iris Family stage! Tickets will be available at the theater’s entrance on May 24th, we hope to see you there!”

— it was safe to say that after your outbursts, you refused to meet eye-to-eye contact with your family, only exchanging nods in greeting.

— to avoid the pain, you worked harder into improving your character for the upcoming musical. it was still beyond belief to you since it was lady maeven ellis, head of the iris family herself, who had personally gave you the position because in her words, you had “the voice to achieve stardom.”

— many of your peers were jealous but still supported you nonetheless. however, they quickly lost their reason for their envy and instead joined alongside you, some casting in other leading roles in the same musical.

— is this what it was like to be genuinely admired?

— despite the kudos, there was still a guilt-ridden spot in your heart which made you feel horrible for the quarrel you started and hoped you could make it up as soon as possible.

— alas, lady maeven ellis was quite demanding. not necessarily strict or hurtful, but she expected that you gave it your all during the musical, considering the fact she created it herself.

— so everyday, after school and on the weekends, you would head to the theatre arts center to practice in front of an imaginary audience, pretending that you were just like robin who had thousands of fans cheering for her onstage. but you suppose.. your good friends and coach were enough for the time being.

— you forgot about your problems when you pretended. you enjoyed the faux spotlight when you pretended. hey, maybe pretend-play wasn’t so bad, after all!

— however, you no longer needed to pretend once the big day had arrived. aeons, were you nervous.

actors and actresses alike ran around the dressing rooms looking for their costumes or shoes, or were practicing last-minute lines, while you were preparing for your big debut. with your elegant costume and hair and makeup were done to perfection, you exuded a sense of readiness and nervousness at the same time.

maeven ellis had come to comfort your nerves, giving you a pat-down of your outfit and polishing your golden halo for finishing touches.

“lady maeven, what if i forget my lines? what if the audience is displeased by my performance?” you anxiously inquired, fixing the bracelet on your wrist. the woman placed a finger on your lips, cutting off your words.

“my child, you have nothing to fear! the stage is your canvas, and you are the artist. your fondness and talent have brought you here, and now it's time to let them shine. immerse yourself in the limelight, and let the emotions wash over you.”

“the stage is a realm where all barriers between people are shattered. tonight, you are the star they’ll be admiring. let your voice and your presence shine brighter than any constellation in the night sky. go forth now, break a leg, my dear! the show is about to commence.” with that, she gave you a kiss on the cheek before rushing to where the elites were to be sat at.

you found yourself being escorted towards the backstage. as the lights dimmed and the chatter in the auditorium quieted down, you made your way up the stage while your heart pounded in your chest.

the curtain slowly rose and the opening notes of the musical's overture filled the air, you took a deep breath and made way. the bright spotlight illuminated your figure, and the cheers and whistles of the audience were directed to you. despite the inner stage fright, you held your head high and smiled, ready to give the performance of a lifetime.

unbeknownst to you, your older siblings, robin and sunday, whom you thought were completely unaware of the grand show, sat right in the front row seats, clapping eagerly for you. suddenly freezing in your place, you simply waited for the audience to die down their patience, until your sister whispered-yelled at you loud enough to hear. “we believe in you!”

the simple gesture instantly lifted your spirits, and a beaming grin spread across your face. any haunting disappointments melted away, replaced by an adrenaline that could hardly be contained. armed with newfound confidence, you turned your attention back to the audience all hustle and bustle, prepared to give them the rendition of a lifetime.

— when you brought down your final and dramatic act, everyone — from the minor to leading actors and actresses, especially you — had received thundering ovations from the mesmerized crowd. heck, some were even chanting your name! finally, your life-long prayers had been answered!

— after the performance, you found herself roaming around the backstage area, feeling proud of yourself that you proved your worth to the citizens of penacony at last. howbeit, you were specifically waiting for a few certain people whom you occasionally glanced during your act.

— just as you were about to slip away unnoticed, suddenly, you felt yourself being lifted into the air, and the next thing you knew, you squealed and were twirling around in the arms of sunday who released you once he was done.

— robin approached with a bouquet of your favorite flowers, offering them up with a proud smile.

“oh gosh, you scared the living life out of me, sunday!” you lightly scolded, but a small smile had now taken your frown’s place. you turned to face robin who was currently giggling at your banter. “what are you two doing here? i thought you didn’t know about my debut..?” you pondered.

“seriously, y/n?” sunday responded instead. “you conquered that stage with such mettle and charisma, i thought to myself: was that even my littlest sibling anymore?” he chuckled in that tranquil tone of his while gently ruffling your neat hair.

robin happily chirped in. “we just couldn't help it, your performance was absolutely stunning! and your outfit too! we wanted to show you how proud we are of you, especially after all you’ve been through.” she poked at your cheek playfully.

you couldn’t help but laugh. not out of sarcasm or dryness, but genuinely out of pure bliss. carefully holding the floral bouquet in one hand, you gave your older siblings a side hug with both your arms.

“thank you both so much,” you began, “your support is all i need in this dreamality, really.” a full smile had now formed on your face, eyes shimmering in the theatrical atmosphere.

as the three of you made weaved your way outside and through the busy streets, sunday spoke up. “well, how about a celebratory dinner at your favorite restaurant? it’s on me tonight.” he gave you a playful wink.

you linked arms with them both, taking in sunday’s simple yet meaningful smile and robin’s bright presence. as you all walked under the blanket of the cosmos, you nodded earnestly.

“i’d love that.”

but other than that thriving and loving life or at least trying to be more positive about it! 🥰

gosh, i hope u had lovely Easter!!! and that ure doing good and the new job is going great!!! i saw that u saw itzy?? that sounds absolutely amazing!! are you doing good? I hope ure eating delicious food and drinking enough water 🥰🥰 and ofc i hope writing is still fun for u babe!!

ily!! only like 2 months left before exams 🤣🤣🤣 the worst part of the student life fr

-beloved anonie, i missed uuuuu

ps IM SO HYPED FOR THE DARK MOON SONGS LET'S GOO HEESEUNG BRAINROT FOREVER

omg hellooo 🩷 i missed you so much 🥺

how are you <33 i'm glad that life is busy in a positive way, but i will manifest your best for uni! time is passing so fast, how far into uni are you now? good luck for your exams but i am sure you will slay them as always, just try your best and be proud of it because you deserve it!!

and what am i hearing about a guy 👀 honestly props to you for even coming that far to hook up with someone, i recently downloaded hinge and it's not not hitting 💀 tbh i think i want to just be in a relationship with all the cute fanfic moments, but i really don't want everything you have to go through in the beginning to get into a relationship 💀 life's tough and unfair with that. but anyways, would you want it to be more with this guy? or should i just send heeseung your way, i'm sure that can be arranged too 🤭

i actually had to work during easter if i remember correctly butttt my new job is really good 🥹 last week was the first time when i actually disliked it (my coworkers had a bad day and that just brought up very unhappy memories from my old job) but it's all good again and i'm having so much fun, i finally get to bake cakes!! and if they're not having a weird day my coworkers are really nice too (and give me lots of praise which is 👀. i am beaming after every compliment). apart from my job i'm doing good too, my mental health, mood and health overall has gotten so much better ever since i switched jobs and finally work normal hours again. and yesterday was the first time since idk when when i could sit down and really enjoy and get invested in a show again, i missed that so much.

i will ignore the drinking enough water part because when have i ever... although i do drink more now since i get it for free and fresh and cold at my job. so yay me i guess 😍 i am eating well though, and yesterday i tried making a cocktail (without alcohol) and it was really good. how about you though?? i talked way too much about me.

buttt writing is more fun than ever again which i am so so happy about, i have so many wips waiting to be finished right now 😶 but it's really fun. AND YES THE COMEBACK!!! they look so good in the promo pics, i can't wait for the release. just one more week!

thank you so much for checking in and saying hi, i missed you 🥺🩷 and i love youuuu

Okay, you know what? I don't think I gave this fic all the compliments that it deserved at the time it was posted because I was a litol shy bean who was afraid to ramble but now I EVOLVED and I ADAPTED and I am going to. Talk so much. So. Much. About this.

So here I am, reading all of this AWESOME MASTERPIECE and rambling all my heart's content because let's all be honest here this story is pure gold and it holds a very dear place in my heart ♡♡

Let's go!

First of all I luv this premise of Character A being sad and all of his family getting together to do their best to cheer him up. Bruh, every sentence, every word and every move here shows how much all of them care about Patton and I am SOFT okay? I am- *sob* they are such a good fam I caaan't

Virgil being like "hey u remember what you did to make me stop being grump and smile?" Like a cat laying a trap and Paton IMMEDIATELY fell for it MY DEAR NOOOO

also not me realizing that the fic is more than 5000 words long and the tickling and teasing already started like 👀👀👀👀 I am looking RESPECTFULLY but very 👀👀👀👀 Loookivg all the looks here

The teasing I won't even get started on the teasing because that is ILLEGAL and all of them should be going to the MEAN JAIL but holy gosh I will forever - and I mean FOREVER - be on the floor with the way all the teases and equally EVIL and SWEET !!!! And not even to mention!!!! The teasing touchs??? For example the massage and the whispering and the chuckles and the light touches. I feel that there isn't a lot about it on tickle fanfics and the way you manage to write about it so GREATLY is awesome as fuck. So galaxy brain honestly

Asking the bean that is being tickled to uncover their face and show their reactions/blush/smile/giggles is one of my favorites tropes ever and I literally refuse to talk about it ever again if anyone ask I will deny saying this to my grave sush suh get OUT

"We're going to make a game out of it." Top ten anime betrayals. Top ten words said before a disaster. Top ten-

OMG REWARD TICKLES YESH YESH YESH I AM GETTING MY BLANKET I AM GRABBING A WARM DRINK I AM GETING COMFORTABLE: G E T. H I M.

*Shaking in a tune able to shatter glass* I like the idea of rewards tickles a very normal amount I swear I am so NORMAL about this fic I swear-

That- uh yeah uhhh y-you yeah caham uh you are very uhhh err cough cough good hm skilled even at describing sensations and scenarios and uh stuff and hmmm ANYWAY

Virgil luv you you're so great but if I say a single word about your attack I will automatically combust and die have a nice day ♡

"My arms are still up aren't they?"

PATTON HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE THE BOLDEST PERSON TO EVER WALK ON EARTH HOW DOES IT FEEL TO BE SO POWERFUL TO LAUGH IN THE FACE OF THE DANGER TO NOT CARE ABOUT THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS

Oh no it's the consequences of his actions

I forgot that you wrote one special attack for Virgil, Roman and Logan AUGUST HOW ARE YOU SO AWESOME AND SKILLED FR

One sec to appreciate Patton making a lot of incoherent sounds. Adorable. Bless.

I refuse to talk about the CRIME that is Roman's attack again Patton's neck. Sir you're killing him. You're killing your own father.

Roman: I am going to stop teasing you because you will need energy for the rest of the game ♡

Also Roman: ABSOLUTELY ATTACKS HIM WITH TICKLES NO MERCY ONLY GIGGLES AND KISSES AND RASPBERRIES AND SPIDERS HERE

Patton provoking Virgil after enduring an entire ticklish attack ♡ king ♡

Oh no it's the consequences of his actions²

EVERYONE STOP!! VIRGIL GETTING UP TO GET PATTON A BOTTLE OF WATER I WAS NOT READY I WAS- *loud sobbing*

They care about him so much. They really care about him and are doing their best to cheer him up I- 😭💛

Once again I ask everyone attention because Roman giving Patton's cheek a litol peck is everything to me it's so SOFT

AND YESH YESH TICKLISH LEGS DESERVE MORE ATTENTION THANK YOU LOGAN THANK YOU

WAIT WAIT TEASES MIXED W COMOLIMENTS + TICKLES??? NO. N O. I REFUSE I REFUSE I TAKE IT BACK LOGAN GO TO JAIL GO TO JAIL *IMMEDIATELY *

Once again I am about to tear up because they CARE ABOUT HIM GOSH-

Patton (almost) saying "I thought it was going to start on three" and Logan cheekly replying "I lied." I AM GOING TO FIGHT YOU LOGAN GET READY I AM GOING TO FREAKING GET YOU I AM GOING TO F I G H T

Hey hey hey guess what guess what they-

*sob*

THEY CARE ABOUT HIM I-

We’ll Be Here, Always

Hey hey, everyone!! This is a birthday fic for the wonderful and amazing @kanene-yaaay​! We shared a birthday week last week, so I hounded for a prompt and she gave me cheer-up tickles with lee!Patton! I hope you all enjoy!! (you espescially @kanene-yaaay​!!)

Ships: Gen relationships, nothing romantic (but I guess you can read it how you want lol)

————————————-

As much as he was known for it, Patton couldn’t be everyone’s “Happy Pappy Patton” all the time. He had his bad days, too, as much as he hated to admit it, and they weren’t always pretty.

Some days there was a reason for his sadness, or his anger, or whatever negative emotion was swirling around in his being. While he still wasn’t great at it, he was getting better at asking for help during those days. Sometimes, there was a solution and Patton could go back to smiling and taking care of everyone. Sometimes, there wasn’t, but his family stuck by his side no matter what.

The worst bad days, though, were probably the ones caused by nothing. Patton was just sad or numb for no good reason, and it was all the more frustrating. There was no solution to the problem because there was no problem in the first place! Those days were harder to open up about. He didn’t want to seem silly for feeling these ways for no reason!

So he did his best to hide it. He was probably far too good at it, at this point. Some days, though, he just couldn’t.

He had managed to get out of bed (a miracle in and of itself), managed to force himself into making everyone breakfast (routine was supposed to help, right? Plus, if he let them go hungry, he would just feel even worse), but now trying to clean up afterwards was proving to be a problem.

And unfortunately, everyone had decided to spend some time in the common room after breakfast that day. Meaning they had a full view of Patton, just standing in front of the sink, feeling overwhelmed by it all. It only took a few minutes for Virgil to come back into the kitchen and guide Patton out to the couch with soft hands and gentle touches.

“Something bothering you, Padre?” Roman asked, placing a hand on Patton’s shoulder.
