[asketho]

Oh snappers! Go get your snacks!

BdoubleO100 told me about this whole blogging thing... he said that the Ethogirls were a bit scary but... it can't be that bad, right?

Asks always open!

Please:

Send as many asks as you'd like; plaintext (non-emoji) signoffs are preferred, but do what you like!

Send lore-heavy asks, as much or as few as you'd like

Send silly/non-lore asks

Please do not:

Be excessively NSFW. Mod is an adult, but this is not the place for it beyond innuendo/implied

Be genuinely rude or cruel to anyone, Ethomod, other mods, or other askers! Roleplay is fine, but if there are concerns I will step in.

Assume I speak for any other ask blogs, even those below in my links section. We all know each other, but we are not a hivemind. Respect their boundaries on their blogs as you respect mine on mine.

Important info & housekeeping links below the cut - posted jun 9, updated jun 27 - please read

OBLIGATORY DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT ACTUALLY ETHO. IF ONLY.

i try my best to recreate his style but i am, at the end of the day, just a really autistic he/him. please be nice to me

This is also my interpretation of Etho, as a character [do NOT come for me I do NOT condone being weird to real life ccs - see below] and YMMV

Don't bring real life discourse here. Etho does not care about this or that or problematic whatevers. The mod does, but asks about it will be deleted unless specifically addressed to the mod.

I reserve the right to delete asks that are not relevant, make me uncomfortable, are triggering, or sexually explicit. While NSFW is allowed to a degree it will always be tagged both as #nsfw & #nsfhc [so you can avoid specifically this blog's nsfw without having to block the general tag]. Minors should not interact with nsfw posts and I will check.

If you use a cc's real name when they don't actively go by that online [ex: bdubs' real name is online but he does not use it for yt] I will delete your ask or answer privately telling you to resubmit. I respect their privacy and I expect you to do the same. I will not discuss events in the real life cc's personal life most of the time

mcshep and 16 for that kiss ask game 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

16…lazily. “We’ve been walking for hours. Just admit it, we’re hopelessly lost, and we need to just stop and wait til they come res- retrieve us.”

John glowered at Rodney. His sense of direction was atrocious, but his ability to admit this was non-existent.

“Which is fine. It’s…actually quite nice here,” Rodney tried to reassure him.

They were in a never-ending meadow. Full of flowers that Rodney was strangely unallergic to. The temperature was a still, soft 20 degrees Celsius and the sun was low in the sky at this altitude and non-burny. There were no people on this planet and no large predators in these parts. Close to paradise.

“When was the last time we got to just stop and chill out for a bit?”

John gave him an odd look but shrugged and dropped himself fluidly into a nest of long grass, sprawling there unnecessarily prettily. Rodney folded himself next to John with considerably less grace.

“You see?” Rodney said, “this is nice – we can watch the clouds. I haven’t watched clouds since grad school.”

“That one looks like a giant snail riding a pony,” John said, pointing upwards.

“What? No, it doesn’t. Oh…. Well okay, I can see it now actually.”

He turned to look at John and John grinned at him. They were lying awfully close, and since when had that happened? Rodney usually kept more distance with people he wasn’t dating but John had for a while now stepped into his personal space and made himself at home.

Well, the man was more than half cat.

“The marshmallow man from Ghostbusters on a skateboard,” Rodney pointed out.

John chuckled, turning to him again, his breath the only air movement on the so-still day. The surrounding flowers had a clean, soft scent, but it didn’t obscure the disturbingly delicious odour of John’s sweat.

Rodney fidgeted, more out of habit and a little bit of not knowing quite what to do with himself than real discomfort.

“If I had a pillow, this would be perfect,” he said, grumbling for the sake of it.

Instantly, John extended his arm out.

And oh, John just offering himself up for other’s benefit was right on brand but this? This was something Rodney didn’t know how to name but was powerless to refuse. He let John slip his nicely muscled bicep under his head and it really didn’t make anything more comfortable but was still strangely perfect.

“There’s a dragon smoking a hookah, right over there,” John said, as if nothing monumental had just happened.

And so it went. Check-in and retrieval would be in three hours, and the slow, soft day stretched out for them deliciously. Purple butterfly-ish things flitted round their heads and managed not to be annoying about it. Cyan bell-shaped flowers nodded with well-deserved vanity amid the grass. The cloud-spotting became typically competitive, but their voices got softer and slower.

Somehow, Rodney’s head eventually crept along John’s bicep and onto his shoulder.

“Damn,” Rodney said, an hour and half in, “I need to go water some flowers.”

John chuckled.

“Me too,” he said, an inaudible sigh moving through his body.

They extricated themselves reluctantly and strode a few paces in opposite directions, backs turned but not really shy after years of being out in the field.

Rodney talked down his semi, did the necessary, and turned round to find John heading back to their little nest, flicking his eyes over to Rodney just in time for their gazes to lock. Rodney could feel his cheeks heat – what the hell was going on with him today? Was there sex pollen in the flowers or something?

But he knew that wasn’t it, he could feel his mind and body’s languor from the long walk, the soft day, and the rare magic of nothing-to-do, but there was nothing altered about his state. Unfortunately, slowing down had enabled some feelings to catch up with him, and any intoxication was all the John Sheppard Effect.

As if by some unspoken agreement, they lay back down on their sides, propping heads up on bent arms, perfectly mirrored, facing each other conspiratorially close.

“Stolen time,” John said thoughtfully. “We can do what we like, right? Forced to play hooky from... all of that.”

The last word was so heavy and full of meaning Rodney would give anything to take its burden from John forever. Instead, all he could do was lean forward and press a slow, careful kiss to John’s mouth.

John’s lips parted gently as his body lost all its tension, melting back down onto the grass in a delicious slow-mo that eventually had Rodney’s body covering his. It felt oddly like the continuation of a long conversation, a natural, unhurried progression of an inevitable trajectory. There was well over an hour left until check-in and Rodney knew every moment was going to be taken up with the slow slide of their lips, the lazy probing of their tongues.

Kissing John Sheppard like they had all the time in the world. And maybe they did, because he couldn’t see them wriggling their way out of this entanglement now it had them in its delicious hold.

Nothing else was needed, as they kissed slothfully in the stupidly perfect meadow Rodney knew that they had been heading to this for a long, long time and now there was no hurry at all to find out what was next.

Except he was committed to making certain to dedicate a whole area of study to making John as soft and relaxed and loose-limbed as he was right in this moment. Thankks for the ask @acrowbyanyothername

MISC/OC BIOS:

"Jam" (Class Unknown)

Age: 11 Likes: Their Younger Brother, Spears, Bombs... uhhhh, has a bit of an odd liking to weapons... and oh of course Berries Dislikes: Snails... that's it? that's literally it? nothing else just snails?? "Given the fortune to be more stable enough to be in the normal world, they are taken in by the likes of Enot and Survivor as their child along with their Sibling, They are still young and pure... okay maybe not "pure"." "Jam is quite the little troublemaker! They will do anything to fight the next mean red lizard they see, it has helped Survivor a few times actually! But under all of that trouble is a goofy sibling who just wants to have fun, they may not know what's going on yet, but something tells me that they can be something great when they grow up. Oddly enough, they can grow fruit from their body, no body knows how or why but they can be pretty good at keeping the food count just a bit more higher, even if them spawning fruit is at random. Jam is passion and shares the same amount of stubbor- I mean, determination as Enot." "Popcorn" (Class Unknown)

Age: 7 Likes: Popcorn, Popcorn, and finally, Popcorn... Oh and they also like flowers and their family :DDD Dislikes: Cyan Lizards, Water, the color Green. (We had to change the color of the Likes text because they wouldn't stop crying, Green scares them... Saint has to change color in order to even step foot in Survivor's Home.) "After being in a normal world for once, They... do not seem to be super interested as long as they get popcorn plants. They do enjoy the change of pace though, and despite their simple minded nature, they just like their sibling, are a ticking time bomb of chaos waiting to happen." "Popcorn can produce popcorn directly from their tail! They usually don't eat it as the taste of their own popcorn is more buttery, while everyone else likes it, Popcorn does not, therefore they ask to get normal popcorn instead whenever there's the chance. They are not as fight focused as their sibling, they are a little more relaxed but still just as goofy as their sibling, they often to not react to pain at all. They also are a bit clumsy and overall just not focused at all at what's happening around them but are still curious about it all, they are a lil air-headed. They share much of the same child-like wonders as Monk and Survivor in their childhood years." "Hunter JR"/"JR"

Age: For as long as Hunter has had their Rot. Likes: Red Lizard meat, rocks, warmth. Dislikes: Other Rot, Vultures, Spiders... yeah I don't blame you on that one. "After being split from Hunter's body, a new life takes form... At first Hunter was not sure on what to make of their rot being more... lively, more child-like. But after sometime, Hunter got attached. And with their abilities and cooperation, Hunter JR became more than just a rot that day, they became the only rot that could." "Their characteristics are almost of that of Hunter's but more child-like and curious. Almost like ALL of hunter's childhood memories were just put into JR completely! Pure but still willing to kick ass! They are not infectious like most rot are, a lot more expressive than rot are, and are huggable and squishy! If Hunter is the Hero, then JR is the sidekick! They cannot see color like Hunter, HOWEVER, they can see heat! and in a weird way, can tell whos a friend and who's an enemy just by that heat alone! They usually like to cling onto people they like, usually Spearmaster... Fun fact: How Spearmaster even knew Hunter had a crush on them was because of how affectionate JR is to Spearmaster specifically, JR reflects off of Hunter's emotions too so... yeaaaah to say the least, Hunter was a bit embarrassed okay not even a bit, VERY embarrassed. Despite that, JR means well and their only instinct is to help Hunter in need."

[Talk to the locals] 

"Welcome to Hagglefish Market!"

“Jellyfish. Why are there so many jellyfish,” Gloves whispered as the two walked further into the busy town. “There’s so many jellyfish.” 

It was a quiet section of town, with only a few other inklings and octolings walking around.

“What an interesting place,” Half Rim commented.

The two wandered around the bustling town with warm lanterns lining the streets. Gloves occasionally stopped to look through a few shop windows. There were vendors lining the streets, selling assortments of colorful glass beads and merchandise. 

“Do you know if we have any cash? I might buy a souvenir or two,” Gloves commented.

“I probably have some,” Half Rim replied, “But you still owe me 30 thousand cash from last time.”

Gloves sighed with frustration, "Of course I do.”

As the two walked further down the road, there was a stage in the center of the town. It was a large stage with two banners on either side of it. Gloves tilted his head with curiosity.

“Huh, I wonder what’s that all about,” Gloves asked. He told Half Rim to wait for him as he walked closer to the small crowd.

Gloves walked over to the large banners. The stage was empty, but had a multitude of items on display in glass cases. There was a small pile of Super Sea Snails, a pair of bright red sneakers, a radio, and a few other things. Then, Gloves noticed an object raised on a podium. It was towards the back of the stage and had a bright red tarp covering it. 

“What is this event for?” Gloves asked an inkling standing next to him.

“It’s an auction!” The latter responded with a smile, “Twice a year, Hagglefish Market hosts an auction with all sorts of treasures overseas.”

“An auction?” Gloves asked again, “So… all of these items are for sale? What is the thing under the tarp?” 

The inkling shrugged, “No idea. They haven’t revealed it yet. They'll probably say something about it later tonight.”

“Ah...”

“The auction starts at sundown,” the inkling said, “If you want to sign up there's still spots open!”

Gloves looked over at the information booth near the stage, where there were inklings and octolings signing up. He thanked the inkling and walked away. There were also a few who got to walk up onto the stage to look at the objects up close. Gloves walked back over to Half Rim.

“It’s an auction,” Gloves noted, then pointed to the red tarp, “I wonder what that is over there.”

“I bet it’s nothing special,” Half Rim shrugged, turning to leave.

“I’m going to have a look at the stuff,” Gloves replied, “I'll be right back.”

Gloves then wandered back over to the stage. He looked over at a few other participants who were also walking onto it.  Gloves then wandered over to the red tarp covering what appeared to be a statue resting on a podium. There were a few security guards standing near the objects to make sure they weren’t stolen. 

Gloves then looked around, seeing the guards didn’t seem to pay much attention to him. 

“I’m sure taking a small peek wouldn’t hurt—” Gloves reached over the safety tape around the podium and carefully lifted up a corner of the red tarp. 

Lifting the corner revealed a shimmering gold tail of a fish. 

“The Rainmaker?” Gloves whispered, “Isn’t it—”

“Hey. No touching the merchandise,” an inkling suddenly snapped Gloves out of his thoughts.

Gloves perked up, dropping the red tarp. There was a cyan inkling standing in front of him. He had a short haircut that was slightly red at the tips of it. He wore black and golden coat with a red X embroidered on the chest. His left arm was bandaged, stained with yellow ink. 

“Ah— Sorry, I was just curious about what it was,” Gloves laughed nervously, scratching the back of his head. Gloves tilted his head, looking at the inkling again. He then asked, “Hey, you look familiar… Haven’t I seen you before?” 

“I dunno, I’ve never seen you before,” the latter responded with a scoff, then gestured over at the red tarp next to them, “My crew and I brought this for the auction all the way from the Splatlands, we figured we could make some good money off of it.”

“Oh… I see,” Gloves replied, then laughed, “I probably got you mixed up with someone else then…”

Gloves stood there for a split second before turning to leave. Once he had turned away, Gloves pulled out the manual from his pocket and flipped through its pages.

The X-Blood Pirates

Ink Color: Bright Cyan with red at the ends.

He flipped to the picture that was stuck between the pages. As he walked off the stage, Gloves pulled out the photo and looked at it.

“Captain? What’s up?” 

“We gotta find Clips and Straps, ASAP,” Gloves said, looking over his shoulder, “I think— I think the Rainmaker’s a part of the auction.”

“Wh- Huh?” 

Gloves looked back over at the stage to see 3 other inklings with the same cyan and red color. He pulled out the photo from the manual, showing it to Half Rim.

“Look at those inklings going up onto the stage,” Gloves said with excitement in his voice, “They look just like the X-Blood pirates. I—I don’t know why they would sell the Rainmaker off, but I have a strong feeling it's them.”

Half Rim took the photo and looked at it. “Interesting…”

“Let’s get Clips and Straps over here and figure something out!” Gloves said with a smile, “We have our chance, let’s take it!” 

“And challenge the X-Bloods?”

“Don’t worry, we’re going to be just fine. It shouldn't be too bad,” Gloves reassured, “I’ll work out the details once Clips and Straps get over here.”

Half Rim hesitated for a split second, then sighed, “We’re all going to die. But alright, I’ll meet you back here in thirty minutes. Clips and Straps could be anywhere.” 

The two exchanged a nod and hurried off.

====== [ ⚓ ] ======

A few moments later, Gloves hurried back to the stage with Clips. All of the items appeared to have been taken backstage. The stage was now empty and the stands were filled with inklings and octolings. The two walked to the side of the stage. Gloves tilted his head to the side, where he could partially see the backstage area. 

The cyan inklings from before were sitting backstage near the golden statue.

“There it is,” Gloves said, the two stepped off to the side further away from the crowd. 

“So, Captain, what’s the plan?” Clips asked.

“Well, I have two ideas in mind—” Gloves began, “I could go in and distract them while you and Straps grab the Rainmaker. We’ll have to head for the backstreets so we don’t draw too much attention to ourselves.”

“Wait, what about you?”

“I’ll be right behind you guys,” Gloves replied with a wink, “Another option I have is having Half Rim splat them from a distance with the splatterscope, then we grab the Rainmaker together and run to the ship. Like I said, there’s a back alley we could take.”

“Ah— Right,” Clips replied, “That might work, let's give it a try!”

Thank you for reading!! :D Have a great day/night

◈   TAG NINE PEOPLE YOU’D LIKE TO KNOW BETTER!

favourite colour(s): i like blue and green the most! leaning a lot more towards blue lately, especially a nice cyan or turquoise.

favourite flavour(s): i have a pretty big sweet tooth, but more than that i love some good sour shit. a sour tooth, one might say,

favourite genre(s): i love love LOVE horror! give me that good good spooky shit. even better when there's drama and comedy thrown in.

favourite music: whatever makes my brain go brrrrrr the fastest

favourite movie: the first conjuring movie from 2013! it's a huge comfort movie for me and i've seen it so many times it doesn't scare me in the slightest anymore. it does, however, make me laugh. (ask me about my favorite line delivery in that movie if you want an unhinged rant about brad being the best character.)

favourite series: i suppose the unsleeping city? or tales from the gas station b/c. yeah, but that's not a tv series. another one that's definitely up there is one punch man, and if you've known me long enough to remember my opm blog uhhh i'll go back to it someday maybe. a lot of my favorite series aren't shows so asdfjkl;

last song: "devil's train" by the lab rats!

last series: i guess the series i caught up on most recently was gamechanger?? that's a gameshow, though, and not a story-based show. maybe diminished. idk, i don't actually watch a lot of shows per se.

last movie: the first conjuring movie, once again. i remember watching it last thursday and going "BRAD MY BELOVED" an unreasonable amount of times. no copaganda type show is more effective to me than officer brad hamilton in this movie. (for legal reasons this is a joke)

currently reading: still making my way through tftgs volume 3 at a goddamn snail's pace, but i found out another online horror series i like is getting a book adaptation soon, so THAT'S something i'm excited to read.

currently watching: i've been working on rewatching the unsleeping city season 1, but it's a bit slowgoing haha! i keep putting it on in the background while i work and then getting distracted.

currently working on: i actually got a huge burst of motivation the other day for one of my original writing projects so that's *mainly* what i've been working on these past few days. i finally have a proper outline and designs for the characters!! love my fucked up post-apocalyptic road trip gang <3
