i got bored so here are some modern!james potter headcanons;
um- sunshine energy at its finest!!
james is one of the prettiest boys you could ever see in your life
his smile lights up every room he walks in
he has to take extra five minutes every morning to fix his hair because he always puts his head wrong on the pillow and messes the shape of his thick, wavy hair
heavy sleeper!! (cutest though, sometimes he sleeps with his mouth open)
he's a morning person but he usually goes to bed early, claiming he has to get 8 hours of sleep
sleeps naked. to your delight.
he likes getting slow back scratches and massages, he is addicted to get kisses on his neck and his cheeks, he LOVES being babied
always runs hot even when the room is cold. he's generous too, he holds your cold body in his arms until you get warmer
i once wrote that he makes the best iced lattes in the morning, i still stand by it
he'd practice to be perfect at making your favorite drink (mine is iced latte so i had to say it-)
breakfast fan!!
he never leaves the apartment with an empty stomach, the worst he can do is take some snacks or fruits with him if he runs late
loves morning runs, morning walks, morning work outs, morning stretches. anything to wake his body up
and we probably all know this but james potter is the type of man who knows his body well
he looks good and he knows it
he also knows what he should do to take care of himself and his health
i mean he likes waking up early and starting his day, but he'll stay in bed with you if it means he'll get cuddles (especially when it's cold)
he tries to wake you up by bribing you with promises of a shower together and breakfast prepared by him
speaking of showers-
um- if you don't mind me being a little smutty here,
james potter loves eating you out
and he loves it more when he gets to wake you up to his mouth
and he does it again when he convinces you into shower
he does it for his own pleasure really
because it feels so good to keep his mouth on you and rubbing himself to soft blankets at the same time
this man is never- and i mean never ashamed of coming into his pants
like seriously, just think about it
he adores that feeling of falling apart for you, he doesn't even need to be touched
needy. and that's hot.
he makes noises in bed. never stays silent. always tells you how you make him feel.
he likes being called 'my love'
king of getting you flowers because 'they made him think of you'
he makes fun of his blurry sight every time he loses his glasses
he can't read for long (sleepy boy alert) but he likes it when you read a book out loud for him
tries to compete with remus on how many movies he can watch in a row without falling asleep
he loses of course
he complains about sirius' smoking (stop acting like a saint prongs) but he takes a few drags when he's too stressed
now that's the thing- james potter doesn't like to burden others with his stress
he keeps things to himself when he's not joking
his glossy eyes give him away though
precious boy
he blinks a few quick tears on your neck when it gets too much
let's keep going with happy james because i can't handle the thought of him being sad
the best hugger ever!!!
strong arms, broad chest, smells perfect, knows how to squeeze your body with the best amount of pressure
you forget everything when he holds you
he never pulls away from a hug first
just my dream guy
another thing- he is so proud of himself when you laugh at his jokes
has a group chat with remus and sirius
never stops sending memes, sometimes drives remus insane
his spotify playlists are so complicated because his music taste changes with every song
he wants you to choose the music every time you're in his car
guys- james potter brainrot is something else, i swear i love him so much
that's all for now, let me know if you'd like a part 2

Awwwe gosh Rosa, thank you!!! Happy New Year!!! I'm feeling a bit sappy so here goes. @grimdarkpumpkin @saltyseagil @ratjamtime @sonic-rider @revalentinee MY BESTIES!!! MY FRIENDS!!!! You keep me sane, you make me feel loved, and I can't thank you enough for being with me as long as you have. Especially with how often I tend to go radio silent. You're all so incredibly talented and cool, and you make me enjoy life, and being myself, more than I ever have.
@wacky-nameless-inventor-24 @shychick-52 I gotta shout out you guys specially! I know we don't interact as much as we did in the past, but I do lurk when I can and seeing you pop up on my dash makes me smile!!! Thank you for reaching out all that time ago, especially when I was feeling really insecure about my work at the time. You gave me the confidence to not only keep working on the longest fic I ever wrote, but to also not be afraid to make it as crazy and self-indulgent as I wanted skldnflksndflsnd. It really meant a lot at the time, just in case all the keysmashing I did back then didn't convey it well enough.
The rest of you I haven't known as long, but I've very much appreciated all of the nice comments and messages, getting to meet you, and especially the fact that going into the new year I have more people around to inflict emotional damage on with my art. Jokingly. >: )
@0-rosa-draws-0 (UNO REVERSE!!!) @alynwrench @muzzlemouths @zenkaiankoku @sulfadimethoxine @maycelium @divinitea-cafe @crees-a @wrapplepie @cozycitrus @shibiichi @nebula-remnants And one last thing. A massive thank you to @supershadicx250 you dubbing my comics was a really, really big thing for me and I still can't quite believe it actually happened. Thank you so so much for doing that.
I hope all of you have a great New Years, and I'll see you in 2025!!!
GOOOOOODMORNING SHEEPLE
It's the last day of 2024!!!!
So I gotta ask, who made your 2024 better? :]
For me it's all these weirdos /aff💕
@moldy-beans @nebula-remnants @ghostermctoaster @beetle-fettle @maxxzophone @111daebud @loony2star @0-rosa-draws-0 @hexcii @linafoxoficial @sunny-inajar @queencj09 @stxrlight09 @birdyjellyfish @bigsillyyyy @biggiesnails
SORRY IF I MISSED ANYONE I'll probably add to it later 💥😭

Y'all I just want to take a second and reflect on my year with Tumblr, essentially meeting all of these people in the picture above me because I want to emphasize how...crazy that is
I never thought I would be where I am at right now in like...a million years if it weren't for all you guys. Literally making and sharing my art has been my dream ever since middle school so I want to thank you all for making that possible for me 🙏
And to all the people above me in the picture right now, please never stop what you are doing whether that is writing or drawing or even ANYTHING, never stop what you are doing because you are a HUGE inspiration to me and I personally love what you do and I can't wait to see what you create this year ✨
I normally try not to get sappy but in all honesty
Thank you all for making this year a little less shitty 💕
Okay, I'm done being sappy
BI Y'ALL!

"MMMMPPPHHH!!!" I let out a muffled yell of pain. One of my kidnappers stomping on my braced leg; the leg brace being broken a while ago with some of the parts being bent or broken off.
I tried to escape, I really did, but that blow to the head really isn't me doing me any favors. They snuck me back down here to the deep end of the Undercity and once far enough away, they started their "payback" in some fucking dead end alleyway. Taking turns punching, kicking, slapping and just overall beating me to a pulp.
"Hey! Remember not to mess her up too much. We won't get paid if you break the merchandise" The woman who I determined as the boss of the rest of the group.
"Oh c'mon! We did this to get payback didn't we!?" one guy says as he kicks me on the ground as a heave for breathe.
"Yes, we did. We also all want to make an actual pay from this right?," their boss says and I can only guess the others agree, "Then we can't fucking kill her! We fuck her up, let her have what has been coming for a long time and then get paid. After that we can start making big moves down here, especially after this bitch is stuck in recovery." she says as she grabs my hair and lifts my head up to show them my state before throwing me back into the dirty alleyway floor.
"Fine. Still gonna have our fun though." Someone says kicking me in the back, the bruises that were already beginning to form from earlier assaults making the pain much worse.
I feel emotions rising again, but I don't shed tears for them. That would just make them happy. Instead I hold out and hope for this to be over soon; for the pain to just stop already. But a part that I try to bury down still sticks to my mind. A part of me that fears that this won't end, that they won't stop, they'll get carried away or change there minds.
'What if I die here?' the thought runs through my head as someone else decides to join in and get their hits in. The pain not getting any better, and only escalating as I scream out from behind my bindings.
"AAAAMMMMMPPPHHH!!!"

"So what is it you wanted to talk about?" Ekko asks as we dance together as the music plays and people party and mingle around us.
"Two things. First, Y/n and I talked and she said some things that really touched me and open something up in me. So, I want to present the power cell with you. As partners, like you said you wanted to; before I walked off on you like a bitch. Sorry about that by the way." I say, feeling a little guilty now that I think back on when Ekko first asked me and I got upset at him.
"Really!? That's great! And you don't have to apologize for being upset. You were going through some things. We all do. But are you sure? You really want to do this with me?" he asks which makes me smile.
"Yes. I really do. I-I don't want to be stuck. I was scared of messing it all up and screwing things up for you too. I thought I would fail at it all..... but then Y/n talked to me. I'm still scared, but if I fail, I want to work through it. I wanna push forward and keep trying. I want to do that with you, Ekko." I admit, and he smiles and we lean into each other and have an intimate moment together on the dance floor.
Ignoring a random whistle and comment towards us from someone who is probably drunk as shit, even though the party just started.
We pull apart and continue dancing; holding each other close and I feel a weight be lifted off my shoulders. Finally feeling..... free.
"You don't know just how happy that makes me Powder. I promise you won't regret it," he says with determination in hus voice making me smile at his steeled resolve, "And the second thing?" He asks, making me a little nervouse.
"Right. So y'know how we said we would talk about our "thing" with Y/n tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Why?" he asks as he furrows his brows.
"Well when Y/n talked with me she said some things that were really touching and meaningful and then something inside me was just like 'Oh shit. I love her,' sooooo I may have kiiiiiiisssed heeer" I say as I shrink back slightly, afraid that he will be mad.
"......Okay." he says casually which makes me stunned and we stop dancing.
"Wha?"
"Okay. Surprisingly, I'm not mad."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes. Usually I would, but this is Y/n we're talking about. We both know we have a "thing" for her, and I honestly don't mind," he explains making me relax more as I hold his hands, "Is that weird?" He asks and I take a moment to genuinely think on it before answering.
"No, at least, I don't think it is. Even if it were the other way around, I don't think I would be mad either. As long as it's her," I say as I think back on those beautiful words that Y/n let spill from her lips. Her soft lips, "She makes me feel a certain way. Just like you. She brings something out of me that I didn't know was there." I say, and I hear Ekko chuckle.
"I know. She's also kind." "Caring too." "Loves Isha." "Always wants to help." "Cute too." "More like hot as fuck."
We bounce off of each other as we list the things we have grown to love about Y/n in just a month of knowing her. I smile and think back fondly on all the times we spent with Y/n and Isha. Just living life happily together.
"I love her, Ekko."
"I love her too." He says and we both stand there, two idiots in love with someone and wanting to bring her into our lives.
"You think.... You think she might feel the same way?" I ask him with hope in my voice.
"I don't know. You're the one who kissed her. You tell me." he says with a laugh.
"Well she didn't push me away, but she also didn't kiss back, although I think that's mostly because she was in shock. You should have seen her face."
"I got a glimpse of it when you two came back. Looked like her brain was fried" he says and we both laugh a little at that, "Since we're on the topic; how was it? The kiss?"
"It wa-"
"Hey you two!" I am interrupted by being pulled into a tight hug by none other than my sister Vi.
"Hey sis." I say in a strained voice.
"Happy you made it." Ekko says, his voice also strained and I see Cait shaking her head over Vi's shoulder.
"Of course we made it! This is a big night! Sevika's here too, but she went straight to the bar for a drink." Vi says as she somehow squeezes us tighter.
"Sweetie, you're gonna kill them if you hold them any tighter," Cait says, making Vi let go and take a step back, "You two looked like you were in a good mood. I'm guessing the energy cell was a success?" Cait asks.
"You know it. I already have it on display and ready for Powder and I to present to investors and the judges." Ekko says, making Vi perk up at the mention of my name.
"Together?" Vi asks, and both she and Cait look towards me expectantly so I give them a nod, making them both brighten up more, "That's great! Amazing! So are you two are going into this as partners?" Vi says excitedly making me smile at her encouragement.
"Of course. It's like what Y/n said. We're gonna rattle the stars." I say as I think back on those beautiful words that reached and touched such a deep part of me.
Suddenly I feel something ram into my lower back, almost throwing me off balance, begore quickly turning aroundto see Isha in a new frilly dress. Looking very happy.
"Isha! Look at you! When did you become royalty?" I ask as I kneel down to get a better look at her and she does a twirl to show off her dress to us.
"I didn't know Isha was a princess. Cupcake, why didn't you say anything?" Vi says jokingly and get's a pinch on her arm.
"I'm not a princess, and my family isn't royalty. We just collected a lot of influence over all of the years." Cait defends herself.
"So, basically royalty then." Ekko says, making the rest of us chuckle as I pick up Isha, and Caut sighs in defeat.
"Ekko! Powder! There you guys are, I've been looking for you two," I hear and turn to see Mylo and he does a double take at Vi and Cait, "Oh, hey! Good to see you two made it."
"What did you need?" I ask.
"Just wanted to let you know there's already some high profile looking people eyeing your energy cell, if you wanted to leave some early impressions on some investor's before the competition. Claggor is already showing off our plant. See?." he says as he points in a direction and we see Claggor showing off their invention to some people.
"Shouldn't you be with him?" Ekko asks and Mylo burshes it off and blows a rasberry.
"That's more of Claggor's thing. I'm better off mingling with the ladies." he says smugly and obviously eyeing at Gert on stage.
"You're such an idiot" I say as I shake my head, before feeling Ekko grab my hand as Vi tries to give him some advice on what not to do with women.
"Wanna make an impression?" Ekko asks and I look at Isha who nods her head happily.
"That looks like a yes. But first; hey sis! Cait!," I call to them and grab their attention, "Can you ask Y/n to meet us at Ekko's display? She helped us make it too, so I want her to be there when we show it off. That's fine, right?" I ask Ekko and get a nod.
"No problem! Where is she amyway? You four Are usually always hanging out together." she says with implication in her voice.
"She was sitting at the bar the last time we saw her. She should still be there," I say before adding on more thing, "And if she looks like she's in shock or contemplating something. That's fine. Just send her our way." I say we start walking away to where I would presume Ekko's display is.
"Don't worry, we'll find her." Cait says reassuringly before we start heading to the power cell; it already having people inspecting it.
"You ready?" Ekko asks me and I nod.
"Always."

"Can you believe it, Cupcake? Powder is gonna present with Ekko! She's finally gonna get out there and show off to the world." Vi says excitedly. Which I understand completely considering all the times I've heard about Powder holding herself back.
"She looked happy. I wonder what made her so confident to try now?"
"I'm willin' to bet it's her and Ekko's latest eye candy," Vi says with a smirk, "Those two are lovesick if you ask me." she says as we look for the girl in question around the bar area.
'Who would've thought an investigation would lead to a new addition of our family and friends.' I think back to just a month ago when we first met Y/n in this bar. I was slightly scared of her then, but afterwards she showed a much mofe gentle side of her. One that cared and laughed.
"Vi! Cait! It's good to see you two made it!" Vander calls out as he finishes serving a handful of people.
"Of course we made it. We wouln't miss such a big night." Vi says as we approach the counter.
"I saw you two lookin' around the bar. Somethin' wrong?" he asks sounding concerned.
"Nothing at all. We were just looking for Y/n. Powder and Ekko want her there with them to present their power cell, and said she should be here. Probably in an unusual state too, but Powder said that's fine." I explain to get rid of his worries.
"Oh, good. Don't need trouble on such a goon night. Last I saw she looked freaked out about somethin' before going out the back door for a breather. Though I don't know where she went afterwards, Silco and I got busy once the party started kickin' up."
"Thank you. We'll go check to see if she's still out there." I say as I glancs at Vi and nod towards the door, before making our way there.
Once outside and in the alleyway that the door leads to, we do a quick scan around to see if she's here.
"Damn. Not here either. You don't think she got drunk and wandered off do you?" Vi asks me with some worry in her voice.
"No. Vander would have told us if she drank. I also don't think he would have let her out here on her own is she was drunk."
"That's true. He wouldn't risk that on any of us." She says as she goes deeper into the alley to see if she might be nearby, and I head the opposite way towards the main street.
As I walk, I suddenly hear a small wet sound when I take a step.
'It didn't rain today.'
I take a step back and look down before kneeling to get a closer look. My eyes widen slightly at what I knew was blood. My shoe making a print of it and some drops of it surrounding the area I stepped
"You got something over there Cupcake?" Vi asks, but I don't respond. Trying not to panic.
'It could be from anything.' I thought before spotting something familiar laying near a trash bin.
"Cupcake? You okay?" Vi asks now behind me, but I get up and quickly walk towards the object and pick it up. My eyes widening.
Y/n's helmet. No doubt about it with the bunny ears Isha drew on it. It's dented in the back and I turn back to Vi, her now leaning down inspecting the blood before looking up at me and her eyes widen in fear just like my own at the helmet before looking into my eyes. We have a wordless conversation through our eyes before rushing back inside.
Y/n was in danger.

Powder Pov
"With this, it should produce a much more effecient power cell. Both for long-term use and energy efficiency. We...." Ekko continues to explain to people that have shown interest in the energy cell. It's been going great. Isha seemed to like the attention when we mentioned how she along with Y/n helped us with putting it together. Speaking of.
'Where is she?'
It shouln't be taking this long for Vi and Cait to find her. Unless Y/n herself didn't want to come, but they would have told us if Y/n refused.
I take a glance around the bar and try to see if I can spot her when I see Vi and Cait rushing in through the back door, not caring to close it. I see them rush over to the bar and immediately grabbing Dad, Silco, Sevika and Benzo's attention, as I see fear on their faces. My heart starts beating faster at their expressions and only get's worse when I see the other three's expressions go from shocked to fear.
I hold Isha closer at that and tighten my hold on Ekko's hand and give it a tug to the side.
"Um, could you give us one second?," Ekko asks them before stepping aside with Isha and I, "Powder, what's wrong?" he asks and I only nod towards the bar and he looks to see what I see. Isha noticing as well.
We move forward to try and get a better look at what's happening through the crowd, and I spot something in Cait's hands. Something I recognize immediately as we get a better angle.
"Y/n's helmet." Ekko says for me with with worry in his voice.
I see a dent in the back of it and look up and see that Cait has spotted us. She doesn't need to say anything for me to know what happened. I can see it in her eyes.
Y/n was attacked, and by her absence took also her.
'Someone kidnapped Y/n.'
Something inside me awakens at that thought. I don't care. Y/n was taken away. We need to get her back.
I need her.
We need her.

How long has it been? Minutes? Hours? I don't know. All I feel is pain and exhaustion as I lay limp in a dirty alley. I tried to grt away from it all and dissasociate, but the pain is too much. My throat feels strained from all the yelling and screaming.
"Alright! I think that's enough. We gotta move before someone finds us here," Their boss says, but I feel a foot apply weight on my braced leg. I only groan in pain as I am too tired and in too much pain to scream, "I said enough! Anymore and you'll kill her."
"And!? This bitch has had this coming for a long time!" The man from earlier yells out.
"Because then we can't get paid, remember? We got our payback; now we get paid." Their boss says again.
"I say we off her here and now. Bitch deserves it." A different woman says and I hear some murmurs of agreement from the others.
"Are you guys crazy!? We do that and the enforcers will come down on us harder than they already are now!" Their boss says, trying to regain authority, but it doesn't sound like it's going well.
"She's the reason why they're hitting us as hard as they're in the first place! What happens after she recovers and comes for us!?" the other woman says, getting more murmurs of agreement.
"I say we send a message." I hear the guy from earlier say. I start panicking as I see someone hand him my shovel that was taken off of me and start walking towards me.
"Hey! This is not the plan!," Their boss tries to step in front of me to stop him, but is blocked by others and moved aside, "Are you guys serious!? If you do this we're fucked!"
I try to get up to run or fight. To at least do something, but I'm too tired and in too much pain. I can only hardly push myself up with my arms before being stomped on my back.
'This is it? Dead in a fucking alleyway?,' I thought as I am kicked to roll over on my back. The others all cheering the man on as he steps over me, 'Maybe this is the cost? Time letting me face the consequences of my actions,' I barely stare up at the man as he lifts my shovel high over his head. Ready to bring it down onto me, 'As long as they live.' I try to accept, but then the memories come running back to me.
Talking with Vander, Silco and Benzo.
Listening to Heimerdinger play toons on the street.
Messing around with Claggor and Mylo.
Having tea with Cait and Vi.
Sevika showing her tough love.
Going out with Powder, Ekko and Isha.
Talking, laughing, caring and living.
'I want to live.'
I move my head last second and the shovel imapcts the ground next to my head and I use as much strength as I can muster curl up and kick him away. I use the force of the kick to roll over onto my feet and try to run in the confusion, but don't make it far. Someone manages to trip me and I fall down again.
"Damn! She still has some fight left in her! Not enough luck though!" The guy says with a laugh as I try to get up, but I get stomped on my leg.
"Stop! If you do this we're done for!" their boss, or maybe former boss, tries again to stop him but is stopped.
I can only look over my shoulder as the man with my shovel stands over me again and raises it high.
'At least I tri-'
*BANG*
"AAAGH Shit!" The man yells as he drops the shovel and blood spills from his hand. I look forward and see Cait and Vi there.
"Drop your weapons now! Or else!," Cait yells out orders, but no one moves. She shoots near one's head and only barely misses, "I'm not asking again! Drop! Them!," she commands them and they follow orders this time, "Back away from her to the end of the alley! Now!" she says and I glance back to see them continuing to follow orders.
I hear Cait and Vi get closer to me and I can only make brief eye contact with Vi before they move to stand between me any kidnappers. I hear people running from where Cait and Vi arrived and look forward again.
"Cait! Vi! What happ-......" I feel a wave of relief go through me as I hear Powder's voice and see Ekko next to her with Claggor and Mylo behind her.
They rush over and untie my restraints before gently turning me over after seeing my state. Powder gently lifts my head to lay it on her lap instead of the cold floor and brushes some hair from my face. I can't help but let tears fall now and cry. I turn myself into her and she holds me close; not too tight because of my bruised body.
"Someone get her gun." Vi says and Ekko is quick to respond and get's it from the floor and brings it back to Powder and I. Handing it to Powder to hold onto.
"Kids! What's goin' on!?," I hear Vander's voice now, rushing towards us and I peak out from my embrace with Powder to see him, Silco and Sevika. Vander is wearing his old gauntlets. They give me concerned looks before staring down the alley at the thugs on the other end, "What happened." Vander says, sounding more like a command than a question.
"They were going to kill her. We got here right before that guy was about to cave her head in." Vi answers and I feel Powder stiffen at that. I feel her hold on me only tighten a little. Not too much to hurt me, but just to have me closer.
"Ekko." She says and no other words are exchanged. He looks over at the thugs, specifically at the one bleeding from his hand before he picks up my shovel from the floor.
He walks forward and before the guy can step back Ekko swings the shovel at him, knocking him to the ground; the others backing away from the sudden outburst.
"Wait! Wai-" he's cut off as Ekko doesn't stop. He keeps beating on the guy on the ground. No one tries to stop him. Not even Cait; who keeps her rifle aimed at the other thugs.
"Wait, he doesn't ha-" I try to protest through a strained voice, but Powder just cradles my head closer to not see what's happening.
"Shhh. It's okay. Don't worry about it. Everythings okay now." she says as I hear the guy's yells and screams and Ekko beating him senseless. I hear bones break, blood leaking and more screams.
"Stop! He's had enough!," I hear their boss say, but Ekko doesn't stop. He ignores her and keeps going. I feel one of Powder's arm loosen and peak out to see the woman go step forward to grab Ekko, "Sto-" *BANG*
I hear a familiar gunshot. Not from Cait. Powder's arm with my gun in hand is extended out towards the woman. Powder shot her. The woman drops dead and I stare in shock at her corpse, before Powder wraps her arm around me to hold me close again. Ekko continuing to beat a man to death; his screams and yells getting weaker. I hear the breaking of bones and blood being spilled. No one stops him.
"Wh- Why did you....."
"It's fine. They deserve it." she says in a certain tone that sounds too familiar. Too much like Jinx.
I'm overwhelmed by emotions. Too much happening for me to know what to do. Eventually Ekko finally stops and I can hear his labored breathes.
"We-We won't resist arrest. We'll go to Stillwater!" I hear a thug says and getting no protests from the others.
"Vander. Y'know what needs to happen right?" I hear Silco ask, "They hurt one of ours. They were going to kill her." he continues in that cold tone I know all too well.
A few seconds goes by before I hear Vander's heavy footsteps walk forward towards where I know Ekko is.
"You're done here, Ekko. Kids! Take her home."
"What!? Dad, they were going to kill her! If Cait and I di-"
"There might be others who might try something Vi. Take her home," Vander says again as Ekko walks over Powder and I, "We'll handle the rest."
"What!? We'll turn ourselves in! We won't bother he-" the voice is cut off by a loud impact.
'What are they doing!?'
"Come on, let's go home." Ekko says as he picks me up gently and I can only get a peak over his shoulder at what is happening. I see another dead body in front of Vander, there head looking like it was caved in. Powder runs a hand through my hair before gently coaxing my head to lean into Ekko.
"Don't worry about them Y/n. Get rest." she says as if there isn't a massacre about to happen.
As we leave Vander, Slico and Sevika in the alley with the rest of the thugs, I can feel my exhaustion taking over. The screams and yells being left in the distance. My eyelids grow heavy before I have no choice but to sleep. Too tired and hurt to fully process anything that is happening.
"It's okay. You're safe now. Just rest. Isha is waiting for you back home." Powder says softly before I finally drift off into sleep.
Tumblr media
Hope you enjoyed. And hopefully 2025 is a good year for everyone. Sorry for any grammar mistakes.

Soooo... New years appreciation post time!!
Honestly, Tumblr is one of the few places where I can just. THINK. And I'll find like-minded people. Like .. where are you all irl??? At the beginning of this year I had, what? 50 followers. And now I have 300 something. Please don't ACTUALLY follow me, especially home! From ASMP, to SBG, I've found brilliant, creative people on this app. I've made some amazing friends, and some moots that I sit and marvel at on a daily basis. How I got here, I'm not sure. But I know some people have seen the entire progression, like @easybakeovenn (I'm praying that's Koda's easybakeoven account, if not!! I'm sorry random person/gen!!)
There will be special mentions under the cut, obviously!!
@what-is-going-on-im-confused ah... Good old Meels. I still sit and stare at the art you've made of Mao and Scarabella daily, I don't think you know how much I SCREAMMMEDDD at Koda when you showed me it. It's, well, incredible. YOU'RE incredible. You're funny, and one of my best mates. Though we still need to restart that stardew farm at some point... This time with the chickens... Thank you for helping me with alyanette august, and I'm really happy you did, because else you'd have hidden away in a corner somewhere, and we wouldn't nearly be as close as we are now
@rot-decay-erosion @catladymasterofsqirl RAGHHHHH I LOVE YOU GUYS. you always find the best stuff to play, and although I wouldn't trust Rot to drive a car, I'd still trust you with my life if I came down to it. You're both such, well I've said It a lot already but, brilliant people. It's always fun to hang out with you, whether it's taking and texting about random things, or playing horror games on call, it's always a nice way to Brighten my day!!
@easybakeovenn @drac0line1nn1t ah.. We've been THROUGHHHHH it the past couple years, we'll have known eachother for 2 years this year. Fucking fascinating. I've seen you both grow and I'm so glad I have, you're amazing people. Even if I don't get the opportunity to talk to you, Draco, often due to my Tumblr DMS being broken half the time, I'm still glad we're friends. We need to do Brighton again sometime!!! And koda... Don't perish when you move like a fish in a fishtank....
@thurio-edau thank you, for attacking me in my DMS and SWARMING me with one of my first SBG posts. Else I'd not have known half the amazing people like @ohquail or @fly-in-amber or Kaz (who's tag ive forgotten... I'm GREATTTT at this, if you couldn't tell) you're funny and I'll never forget when you cut the chocolate with that dagger necklace
Special mentions than I can't write a paragraph for because my early onset probable arthritis is kicking in and my wrists are dying slowly: @low-senka @carpetbug @primalmagic @afrogwhocantdraw @sashaishere14 @cookiedough77 @pineapple-sbg-official (I'm @cimonofficial I just didn't know your main and honestly, you're pretty cool so you make it here too!! YIPPEE)
And all my other moots. Ily guys MWAH happy new year!!

New Year Love | Bada Lee x Fem Reader | fluff
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Summary: the young and famous dancer decided to have a new life with you by her side.
Word count: 1.3k
Fluff and some angst (just a little bit)
A/N: sorry I didn’t post this sooner. I had been trying to get my life together before I have to go back to work. I usually have to make sure what I’m writing isn’t rushed but anyway! Hope you like this 🤍
~
"Get the fuck out of my house! All you do is cause trouble anyway," Your mom said as she threw your things out of the house.
The reason behind her actions began when you decided to join a dance studio to learn dance. That had always been your dream. However, you couldn't afford it. You were only eighteen years old and you had gotten fired from your job.
It's not like it was your fault. You were trying to balance your studies, two jobs, and taking care of your little sister. Your parents lived off you and you hated it, but you loved your sister so you put up with it.
Until you had enough. You told your mom how tired you were of having to choose between, work, school, and your sister. You told her you wanted to go to school and dance and she... she laughed.
You didn't expect more from her and then she threw you out of the house. With nowhere to go and teary eyes, you picked up your things, shoved them in your bag, and walked to your school.
You sat on a bench near the entrance and hugged your body tightly. December 31st never felt so lonely and cold as that night. Then you felt someone sit next to you.
You froze in terror thinking it was probably a creepy man or a guy from school that came to mess with you when a light turned on. Then you saw her face and you were too shocked to say anything.
"What brings you here?" She said as she sniffled and dusted the snow off her coat. You furrowed your brows in confusion. Bada. Lee Bada was talking to you. The same girl who was in your class for years but never acknowledged you. The girl who everyone praised for being on TV several times because of her amazing choreographies.
"Cat got your tongue? Come on Y/N. You're usually so talkative around Dami. Why not with me?" She said with a small chuckle. Then you caught a glimpse of her eyes. Red and puffy. She had been crying and she just needed someone to talk to.
"Well, I guess this isn't the perfect place to spend New Year's but, it's better than the place I used to call home," she shrugged and hugged yourself a bit more trying to hide your coldness from her.
"Did you feel out of place too?" You asked again. You could feel droplets of sweat dripping down your forehead.
"Yeah... people rarely see me for who I am nowadays. They all focus on my future and fame. I can't have one moment to myself and when I do, I hear the whispers of people talking about how they can take advantage of my name. It's very lonely," she said and her shoulders relaxed a bit.
"Wouldn't it be nice to run away to a place where no one can mess with your peace? That's my New Year's resolution. Move away from my parents," there was a small pause after she finished her words.
"What about you, Y/N?" She said and tired to you.
"Gosh... you're freezing," she said and placed her coat around your shoulders. She zipped it up carefully and her hand graced your face. She flinched and her eyes were filled with worry.
"You're burning up. I need to get you to a hospital," she said. You could barely open your eyes but you managed to tell her you couldn't afford it.
"Don't worry about that. We need to go now. Get on," she crouched down in front of you and you weakly got in her back. She picked up your things and began walking to the street to look for a cab.
Once you were in the hospital you seemed to have lost consciousness. When you woke up it was daytime. The light of the room was shining on your eyes and you groaned. Your throat felt itchy and you had a headache.
"Happy New Year, Y/N," Bada said as she entered the room.
"Bada, what are you doing here?" You asked.
"I tried to contact your family. They cursed at me and told me you were dead to them... I'm sorry," she said as she placed food in front of you.
"If you pity me because of the rumors running around school, drop the act. I hate when people pity me. I'll manage on my own," you told her and looked away as your eyes filled with tears.
But the tall girl didn't leave. She sat next to you. You didn't dare to look at her. It was the only time someone gave you attention without having to ask for it.
"You still don't get it.." she said.
"Get what?" You asked, feeling curious about her words.
"I've always wondered why you were so distant. How can your pretty eyes can carry so much love and so much pain at the same time? How can you always be awake despite all of the things you do in a day?" She said.
"How do you-"
"I've been watching you. Ever since you transferred to this school I thought you seemed pretty cool. I wanted to be your friend so bad but you never seemed to care about anything other than your school work. After hearing the rumors about you, I knew your life was pretty difficult and I didn't want to make things harder for you so I decided to stay away from you," she paused.
You couldn't believe it. All of the things Bada just said were spinning in your head. You tried to make sense of them but you couldn't. There was no way Bada, The Bada Lee, wanted to be your friend.
"You... Why? Why did someone like you even acknowledge someone like me? People try to stay away from me because of my parents. They think I am like them. You never once thought of me as someone like that?" you asked still in disbelief.
"Never. I knew that you had a hard life and that you didn't deserve it. And I knew what your eyes were hiding. I'm sorry I didn't try to approach you and sprinkle a bit of happiness when you needed it,"
"I don't know what to say. It's gonna take time for me to heal but... I'd really love for you to stick around," you responded not looking at her eyes.
You felt a warmth around your hand realizing that it was her hand.
"I'll never leave you. Never," she said and you finally looked at her. That smile. That sweet sweet smile of hers just made it 100 times clearer. You never wanted to be away from Bada.
(A year later)
And there you were. After she finished school, you two went to live in a different city. You were both thriving with success and you moved in together. Just the two of you in your shared apartment as roommates.
It was evident that the two of you had fallen for each other but neither dared to say a thing. How could you ruin something so perfect with such a vague feeling?
So you say at the dinner table looking out of the window to see all the pretty fireworks. You leaned your head on her shoulder and she hugged you tightly.
"Happy New Year, my love," she said. You lifted your head and looked at her with wide eyes.
"Did you..."
"Call you, my love? I did. I want everything with you. I want to kiss you and hug you and help you heal. I want to give you the world and care for you. I want to spend my New Year's with you like this. So, please say yes and be mine?" She said as tears filled her eyes.
You didn't say anything but launched yourself into her arms and kissed her. Softly, then passionately.
You couldn't believe the words coming out of her mouth. Something so painful as that night turned into something beautiful in the course of a year and you swore that was all you needed to be happy.
You couldn't wait for a lifetime of love and happiness next to Bada.
Thank you for reading 🩵

So... The year is ending and I just wanted to say a little (big) "thank you for being there" to everyone who I met on Tumblr... Because honestly, I wouldn't be the same unhinged idiot that I am Rn if I didn't meet such wonderful people in the span of three/four months
Tumblr media
First there's @cherrytasticc, I have known her for 2 years now, science fair, digital drawings and all, but these last months of the year, I've grown towards her, making her almost like my lil sis that I would die to protect, Same goes with @melikedraw, I knew her through her posts on Tumblr, and one day she simply dm me and now I can't see Gaolang or Sendo without remembering her every single time
After a few days I ended up knowing @itshirohi, Still very shy about almost every interaction with him, but he is a nice person (A bopping maniac, maybe) but overall I don't regret dming him, specially because I adore drawing his Ocs!
The same happened with @kunhisstuff, After all, I keep going with my Oc search to make more friends on Tumblr, and I happen to stumble across their account, and accidentally falling deeply for one of his oc's!
With @aneenasevla it was in the opposite way, because surprisingly she was the one to "adopt me" (extroverted bean getting adopted by another extrovert) to be fair, I wanted to talk to her, but shyness won that time, but the order of the factors does not alter the product (or the fact that I love the Heavy Bakery fanfic <3)
My memory is a bit blurry from here on, two other mutuals that I ended up growing found of were @souxton and @rottencarr0t! Both of them gave me a surprise when they understood spanish (mostly rot since she speaks it as a first language, but it was a nice moment w soux too!)
As little honor mentions I include @riddscorner and @adamant1ne since I haven't talked to them that much, but I wish to be able to get to know them a little better :3
And the last person that spawned just this month and unironically made me cry of happiness when they told me that my silliness made their day, @habuoibeo!
I really wanted to say thank you for being here when I arrived onto Tumblr and cheering me up without knowing it, even if you think it was just a message, just a fanart or a simple drawing, Maybe it made me feel better just when I needed it and I seriously appreciate every single one of you <3
Happy new year Guys ✨

Happy new year everyone!!
2024 was strange and I don't even really know where to begin with explaining why. So much happened and so much has changed(mostly for the better) that it would be hard to fully explain everything, but I'd like to just ramble about it for a bit
I don't remember all that much from January-February, just that I was VERY hyperfixated on Vocaloid and Project Sekai and that ultimately influenced the entire rest of my year. In fact, I feel like Vocaloid was pretty much a defining factor of the entire first half of 2024 for me(the second half was defined by something else... But it's probably easy to guess what that was.)
Also HUGE thank you to Angelo, Cornflakes, and Edward for pretty much everything, you guys are some of my longest friends and I appreciate you all SO SO MUCH!!
Then in around June I got into Chonny Jash and that pretty much defined the entire second half of the year for me😭 I mean obviously, it's the reason like 90% of you are here
Somehow it never actually occurred to me that I could and should actually post my art until I started making Chonny Jash fan art, and honestly I'm really happy I did... This is the most people I've seen who genuinely like and care about my art and I can't tha you
nk you all enough for that, so that being said, I would like to credit the first ever drawing of Heart I made for bringing everyone here. I genuinely appreciate all of my mutuals and followers so much and knowing there's people who actually like my art makes me genuinely so happy🫶
Tumblr media
And of course I need to thank this for being the ENTIRE reason I met the Freaky Leg Fracture Compendium, aka the CCCClub.. GENUINELY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO @killableroach , @cynicmachine , @xenithiael , and @starcyri , I LOVE YOU GUYS SM🫶🫶🫶
I also owe all of this for leading to the creation of AAA. If it wasn't for the cccc hyperfixation that was so strong I decided to actually draw fan art(which I NEVER really did before) I wouldn't have met the other developers and we wouldn't have this stupid project that, surprisingly, has already acquired a small fanbase. thank you so much to the 5 AAA fans for caring about our work💜
Anyways quick mutual appreciation.....
@vinniemitchell @bluestarlett @adhdrizzy @therewillbenoromance @casualmrboyenjoyer @themoonwithagun @randotam280 and anyone else I'm forgetting, you guys are great🫶🫶
And finally I'll close this off by comparing my first and last drawings of the year.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Thank you all again for everything this year💜

Friend's Best Friend
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Happy new years everyone!! Can't wait to kick it off with some more writing!
Another request, finished it quick because this is literally my favourite blogger on Tumblr (yes, I'm glazing). Chris again people! We love him, and here, he's a bit more awkward and cute than in my other ones. Kinda a love at first sight thing, so hope you like it <3
Word count: 1,7k (unedited)
Tumblr media
psssttt hiii!! i hope you have a lovely new year and i hope to see more of your content!! 🫶🫶😇😇 Not necessarily a request but if you'd like to write it feel free.. this is simply a thought i had can be nsfw or sfw tbh! Chris and reader meeting for the first time and Chris just being like head over heels cannot quit staring at reader- im thinking Ash or Jess's best friend who he's never met before and Josh pokes fun at him to get your number but before he can even protest reader comes over and is like super straightforward like "Hi i think you're attractive i want your number." and he's just like FUMBLING FOR HIS LIIIIFE. -@dahliascophin
Tumblr media
“I promise you, they’re all nice and kind” 
“You say that about everyone” I tell Ash as we walk out of the bus. The night hung low, dark clouds collecting as we walked. The only light coming from the street lamps as we make our way to the gettogether. Ashley had the idea of inviting me to one. Apparently, the one time I met Josh, I had made quite the impression, and both of them wanted me to come to at least one hang out. The group sounded alright when they described it, though I was still unsure about how they functioned. Every individual was so vastly different, I couldn’t quite grasp it. 
“Will I have anything in common with someone?” I ask, a grim feeling in my stomach. What if they were all douchebags, or preppy, or just plain mean? 
“Hey, you have me, Josh. I think you’ll love both Sam, Chris, Beth and Matt”
“Okay, you know I trust you, but your matching skills are not the best” 
“Oh shut up, they’re gonna love you. You’re basically a more extroverted and smiling version of me, but I’m prettier and kinder” 
“Wow, not boosting my ego at all?” 
“Nah, you don’t need it, we already know what’ll happen if you think too highly of yourself” 
“Damn, but what if I’m kinder and prettier than you?” 
“Then that’s something I’ll never admit” 
I give her a nudge, earning a laugh and a small hit back. We were finally approaching the house, outdoor lighting and a beautiful yard. 
“Are they rich or something?” 
“Yep, the Washingtons, can you imagine?” 
“Not at all” 
We don’t bother knocking, and she opens the door, holding her arm out for me to walk inside. I oblige, letting myself into the grand building. If the outside didn’t seem big, the inside did. Expensive paintings and decor in the hallway, contrasted by the large amount of jackets that hung on the wall. 
“Looks like everybody’s here already” 
We take off our coats and outerwear, hanging it on the racks before making our way to the living room. Laughter and talk fill our ears as we arrive, the room full of people. Everyone’s heads turn as Ashley announces our presence to them. 
“Hey guys, this is my friend I was talking about!” I give a small wave, putting on my best smile as I look over the room. I see Josh, who walks over and hugs me. 
“You made it, fantastic!” 
“You have a beautiful home, Josh” 
“Oh stop being so polite, come meet everyone” 
We walk over to the others, everyone with welcoming smiles and expressions. I’m introduced to every single one, Jess being extra hyper and hugging me while I only give the others a handshake. 
A certain blonde catches my eye, and Josh takes his place beside him as he introduces us. He says his name is Chris, his eyes wandering over me as I lean over to grab his hand. It’s rough, his grip hard and firm. The action in itself earns a slight pink blush on my part, but I just pray he doesn’t see it. After all, we haven’t said more than hi. 
“Chris and I met back in third grade, a completely boring story, but have been inseparable ever since” Josh explains, giving the guy a hard clap on the back. I smile, taking a seat beside Ashley while listening. 
“Boring, you? I can’t imagine that” 
“You know what, you’re totally right!” Josh exclaims, starting to explain in-depth how he and Chris got to know each other. The whole time, Chris is looking at me, watching my reactions and studying my features. I give him a small smile, signaling that I see him. His gaze shifts away immediately, looking back at Josh who’s leaned over on his knees. 
“What a coincidence” I add when he’s finished and he gives a hum in reply. Ashley sighs, hand going around my back to turn me to the others. 
“Finally, we’ve heard that story a million times” 
“Hey, I’ve only heard it once” 
“Lucky” 
I shift to talk to Jessica and Emily, both of them energetic and fashion-oriented. They’re both nice, though I sense some tension when Emily’s boyfriend arrives and sits in between the two. He leans forward, joining the conversation. 
“So, how do you know Ash?” I think back. I feel like I’ve always known her, even though we’ve lived far from each other. 
“Well, we met in kindergarten I think, and during a playdate, our moms became friends, so we just built it from there” I easily explain, looking around. I guess it was as easy as that, and we were lucky we found each other so early. Chris is looking at me, eyes narrowed and mouth slightly open. Josh nudges his arm, making him look at the guy with a sour expression. They’re on the other side of the room, and I can’t hear what they’re saying. The only thing I can make out is Josh laughing and continuously teasing him with small hits and huge theatrical movements. 
“So, you a big party-girl?” Jessica asks, and I turn my attention back to her. 
“Well, I don’t mind a good party” She lets out a small shriek, hands coming to grab both of mine. 
“I’m hosting next week, and Ashley has already said no, but you can come AND you can convince her to go with you!” 
“Ash, you’re free next week?” 
“No, I’ve got studies” 
“Oh, come on” 
I try to make her, while Jessica’s watching intently. In the end, she obliges, telling me that she’ll only come if I do too. After all, I also have a lot of homework to be dealt with. 
The party goes on, and I eventually get to talking with both Matt and Sam a bit. I’m in a conversation with Sam about mountain climbing as Chris makes an appearance beside her, joining the talk. 
“Oh, hey Chris, we were just talking about that time I forced you up on the mountain, you know. With the rope and falling and all of that” Sam explains, and arm going to his shoulder. 
“Wait what, you’re telling her about that? I was a good climber, I did everything right” 
“Well, except for when you fell down and whined about-”
“So, you’re friends with Ashley, right?” he interrupts her, and I see her lips tighten. I giggle a little, the situation funny. 
“Too early to hear about your embarrassing stuff, huh Chris?” 
Josh jumps up behind him, clinging to his shoulders for support. The sudden weight surprises him, and I hold my hands out automatically, in case they both fall. Chris is strong, and he just sighs as Josh jumps off him again, his arm leaning on the blonde’s shoulder. 
“Oh trust me, this guy’s got A LOT of embarrassing stuff we can talk about” 
“Dude…” 
“Calm down, Cochie, I’m not gonna say anything. At least not yet” Josh laughs, taking Sam’s arm and dragging her with him. After they leave, he whispers something in her ear, causing them both to look back to us. I ignore them. 
“To answer your question, yes, been friends with Ash for as long as I can remember” 
“That’s a long time” he nods, eyes finding mine again. He looks muscular, big. After all, he just carried Josh after having to endure a surprise-attack from him. His eyes are big and blue, the kind which one can drown in. Gosh, he’s absolutely beautiful. Just my type. 
“So, tell me Chris, what are your hobbies?” 
“Well, um…” he stumbles over his words, and I can’t help but just keep giving encouraging smiles. “I mean, I play video games with Josh sometimes, and do coding and such…”
“Wow, really? I tried coding once, and it was difficult, gave up right away” 
“It’s easy when you get the hang of it” 
“I believe you, and what games do you play? I know Josh likes pvp shooting stuff a lot, but you?” 
He stutters again, and I place my hand on his arms, causing a light pink shade to cover his cheeks. He rearranges his glasses, arms then going behind his neck. 
“You know, the usual” he mutters, laughing a little. He quickly composes himself, taking a breath and starting to talk again. 
“So, I was wondering if you were interested in going to-”
“OMG! And please, I think this necklace would look gorgeous on you!” Jessica shrieks, coming up behind me. She shoves her phone in front of me, a picture of a golden necklace with a small trinket at the center. 
“Yeah, that’s beautiful” 
“Come on, Emily was just researching a top to wear with it” she adds, taking my arm and pulling me with her. I give a small smile and wave to Chris, seeing Josh going up to him again. 
“So close dude! You just need to-” is all I hear before being dragged out of earshot. 
Sadly, I don’t get to talk to Chris before having to catch the last bus. Ashley and I say our goodbyes, both walking to the hallway to get our coats. She leans over, whispering to me. 
“You know, I saw that blush when you were talking to Chris” 
“I’m not surprised, you’re always looking at me” I tease her, but she just shakes her head. 
“Seriously, just go do it now, he’s not going to be at Jess’s party, he’s busy that weekend” 
“Wait, really, he’s not coming?” 
She hums, hand pushing on my back. 
“Bus leaves soon, we don’t have all night” 
I take a deep breath, mastering some courage before hurrying over to the living room again. On my way, I take out a pen and an old receipt from my pocket, writing my number in big letters. Everyone turns their heads, looking at me when I arrive, but I walk over to Chris, handing him the note. 
“Hey, here’s my number. Let me know if you want to go out for coffee sometime” I offer, smiling down at him. His hand is open, but not moving, so I place the paper there, tapping his fingers around it. His mouth is open, eyes surprised and shocked. I laugh a little, standing up again and looking at everyone. 
“Yeah, I definitely will, thank you” he exclaims, cheeks red as he keeps staring at me. 
“Great, can’t wait” I smile, waving goodbye to everyone. I walk back to Ash, and as I turn the corner, I hear Josh and some other cooing. 
“Dude, you did it! Or she did, but either way it was done!!”

Part 12 of this nameless au wait- NAMELESS!!!! That's it!!! That's the name!!!!
Part 12 of Nameless au (:D!!!)
_"They're here!" Macaque jumped off the couch and ran to the window.
He pushed the curtains and looked out. Just as he did, flames started forming and his sister with two guys stepped out of it.
_"Wow. Who's that guy?"
_"That's Redson, her son." Wukong answered standing behind his moon,
_"Not the red one, I already sensed he's hers. The other one. Why is he taking a human form?"
_"You meam MK? How did you know he's not a human?"
_"I don't know. It's like a magnet or something. He's closer to being one of us than anything else. Can't you feel it?"
_"I felt something odd about him. I still can't put my finger on it."
_"Well that's for later. Go get my sister!" Macaque pushed Wukong to get the door, he was so excited he forgot who he was talking to,
_"So demanding." Wukong acted exhausted,
_"Goooooooo." Macaque pleaded,
_"Alright, alright." Wukong smiled and went to get their guests. He felt a sting in his heart. Why doesn't he get that happy when he sees me?
_"Don't let the other guys in."
_"I won't."
(I got stuck here for like 20 minutes then gave up. I still don't know where I'm going with this.)
Wukong stepped to the door and opened it, catching PIF and the kids arriving at the entrance.
_"Princess Iron Fan, I'm so glad you could make it." Wukong said with a smile, a smile hiding a murderous intent,
_"Of course I came, my brother is ill."
_"I'm sure he'll feel better once he sees you."
_"Where is he?"
_"Follow me." he stopped in his track and turned to the kids. "I'm sorry kiddos, but grown-ups have to talk, so you'll have to wait outside for now."
_"Oh, that's ok." MK lifted up a bag in his hands, "Can you give this to Macaque on my behalf. I made it for him.... an apology cake."
_"Will do kiddo. I'm sure he'll love it." As Wukong took the bag he got closer to MK and whispered :"Way to go kiddo, proud of you. Take him to the top of the waterfall at sundown. It's called 'lovers spot' for a reason."
_"Pf- WHA- pff- PAH- No! I mean YES! Whatever! Let's go Red!" MK's brain malfunctioned in that moment, they were lucky he shut his mouth and just dragged a very confused and worried Redson away.
_"Now that the lovers are on their way, let's get you to moonpie. He's really excited to meet you." Wukong said and walked in first to show the way,
_"Zizi!" Macaque yelled as he jumped into his sisters arms, embracing her with every limb he has,
_"Zizi? Haven't heard that nickname in so long." PIF smiled as she hugged him back. He hasn't called her that in centuries. He is probably at a young age mentally, probably the age of her son or younger. Though he does look different, did the king give him an eye?
_"I missed you."
_"I missed you too. Also do you want me to keep carrying you or are you going to get down?"
_"Keep carrying me."
_"This isn't my house, I can't tell the way in."
After a moment of silence, Macaque finally gave up,
_"Fine..." He sounded sad but recovered immediately: "I made some food and appetisers! I didn't know I could cook, or make sweets. But I did a really good jod! You must taste them!" Macaque held her hand and took her to the kitchen where he worked all night to make sure she'd like his food. The king helped a lot.
_"I don't think you're leaving me a choice."
_"Nope. Also you need to tell me all about it."
_"About what?"
_"Your husband and son obviously!"
_"Isn't there a more important matter to discuss?"
_"Nuh-uh! Not to me there isn't. I can't believe I missed out on my first nephew." Macaque said as he sat next to her on the couch in the salon, the king sat on the couch to their right,
_"What do you mean first? I'm not having another."
_"Let's put a pin on this. Now tell me how you met your husband."
_"Would you like some tea?" Wukong asked smiling at the Princess. It was a clear warning, don't mention anything bad about Sun Wukong or else.
_"Yes. Thank you." She answered calmly, now she knows for sure, one mistake and she'll lose her family, she must stay focused :"Well he was a sworn brother of the Monkey King and we met by chance. Things escalated quickly, if I'm honest. I think they call it love at first sight."
_"Oooooooooouuuuuuuw." Macaque gave her a nudge on the elbow.
_"Aw stop it. You weren't that better. Once you saw how strong the king is you fell head first." She gave him a sly smile,
_"I can't answer that question because I can't remember but I don't think I'll for anyone that is just strong."
My sister doesn't compliment anyone, this is a warning, the king is stronger than he's showing.
_"Then I don't know why. The only thing worth noting about him is his strength."
_"And his face." Alright, so he is definitely dangerous, better keep him in a good mood.
_"Not to me."
_"He's also really kind and likes kids." He can't be that bad...
_"How come he's nice to others and not me?"
_"Because I'm 90% sure you tried to convince me I can do better." So he is threatening her and keeping me hostage, shit. It kinda hurts...
_"You can."
_"Maybe. But I like where I'm at now." I'm sorry, but I won't risk you getting hurt, I shouldn't have brought you here...
_"You might regret these words one day."
_"I hope not. At least I don't regret them right now."
_"Yeh. Do what you want, but just so you know, my house is always open for you."
She didn't say yes. So I also don't want to stay here. This is worse than I thought.
_"I'll think about it, but for now. I think I'll stay here. But I do wish to meet your husband." She wants to take me with her, I'm sorry sis, it's too dangerous without my power.
_"You've met him before but he'll be happy to see you nonetheless."
_"You already know I can't remember, but I'm happy for you, truly." I'm sorry for putting in this position.
_"I'm happy too." She smiled at him, he knows that smile, the one that says I have a plan.
_"So wha about your son?"
_"He's a smart kid."
_"Awww, never thought I'd live to see the day where you become a loving mother."
_"What is that supposed to mean?"
_"I'm just saying your husband must like monsters in disguise."
_"Are you saying I'm a monster?"
_"So your son is corting Wukong's successor."
_"He is. It hasn't been that long though. It happened a few days ago but I'm sure there was something before that."
_"Ooooo. Can we keep talking after we eat. I'm so weak I have to eat everyday or I'll die." I need to get her out of here as soon as possible.
_"Yeh, I'm also very excited to try out your food."
_"Don't give me all the credit, Wukong helped... Unless you hate it then it's his fault."
_"Hey! I just showed you the recipes and handed you the ingredients, you did the cooking." Even though Wukong was quiet until this sentence, he was feeling something off. Something about this entirely feel off. Yet he can't put his finger on it.
_"Excuses, excuses." Macaque said pushing his sister out the room,
_"At least take me with you." Wukong said in a sad tone,
_"I thought that's a given." Macaque turned to him with a smile,
_"Coming honey~" Wukong joked following them.
When will she leave? I want to stay with my moon alone. She didn't say anything but I still don't like it- KILL HER! Yes yes I should get rid of her, then Macaque will have nowhere else to go, he'll stay here forever, he'll be mine forever-
_"Wukong, can you get the chicken from the oven? Last time I burned myself. Who knew ovens could be this hot, right?" Macaque asked innocently, trying to hide the chill he felt down his spine. He is certain he felt a murderous intent just a second ago.
I need to get Zizi out of here before he does something to her or her son!
_"Sure thing." Wukong smiled,
How can I think that way, Macaque will be very sad if I kill her, it doesn't matter that she's here. She's just a guest, he's not going anywhere, he still needs me. Only me.
Wukong helped Macaque prepare the table as his sister watched. If anyone else where to see the scene they'll think they are a happy normal couple, but The princess knew better, and she cursed every second of it.
In another place on the island, MK and Redson were starting to lose hope in finding the scroll.
_"This is impossible." MK said in defeat stepped out a mountain of gold,
_"Sure feels like it." Redson said in the same energy,
_"Somehow, I don't think Monkey King left the scroll in his treasury. I think he hid it somewhere else." MK sat on the floor curled up, next to Redson,
_"I think so too. But we can't get in the house without him knowing. And who knows what will happen then." Even thought Red was frustrated, he kept his search in the piles,
_"Maybe we can ask him about it." MK let out, using his golden vision to hopefully find something useful,
_"And you think he'll answer honestly?"
_"... he won't, that if he even admits it in the first place. Also remind me to go to the top of the waterfall."
_"Yeh alright. Wait- Why?"
_"To get to the lovers spot." MK said as he got up to look at a scroll he saw,
_"Why?" Redson was feeling something, it wasn't hate.
_"So-" MK finaly registered what he had said, "WAIT! I DIDN'T MEAN IT LIKE THAT!" The kid turned around in a blink and struggled to find his words, "Monkey king told me to take you there at sundown because we are lovers- I- I mean he thinks we are lovers! S-so I thought we should go so he wouldn't get suspicious!" he was hoping Redson wouldn't hear how loud his heart was beating. Why does he feel so embarrassed?
_"Oh. Alright then." There was a hint of disappointment in Redson's voice as he went back to his search.

Happy New Year!
Here's my artist's year in review:
I finished Beating Some Sense Into You at 66,829 words, 30 chapters. I started writing it because I felt alone, hopeless, and exhausted and it kinda stayed that way, that is until chapter 14 when I decided to try and draw again after months of being too sick. When I got on here to post the first picture, I never would have guessed how many amazing people I'd meet.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before I talk about book 2, I just want to appreciate everyone I've gotten to know in this fandom (whether or not we've drawn each other's characters) I love you guys so much. My life is genuinely so much better with y'all in it 💜💜💜
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Making Some Sense of This currently has 52,936 words and 26 chapters published, 68,305 words and 34 chapters in my WIP doc. It's been such a healing piece to write and the fact that anyone (Desi) has kept up with it every week is mind blowing to me.
I will be posting an update on books 2 and 3 soon btw
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I have three chapters that were especially art intensive that I want to highlight. I used poems for all three because I really didn't think my usual writing could capture the feelings I was trying to express. I'm very proud of all three, both visually and narratively.
I'm so sure the resolution will get killed on these so if you want to see them they are Invictus (b1ch27), Carthusians (b2ch11), and Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep (b2ch12)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm also really proud of my backgrounds. I never thought I would be good at backgrounds but like… look at them! (They're still free for anyone to use if you want to. If you can't find one of my backgrounds and want to use it, just DM me and I'll send it over)
Tumblr media
Last but not least, my misc other art. From Sewing, to chainmail, to drawing I'm really happy with most of what I've done this year.

I am updating this as I see clips circulating and I see people defending Marinette. And all because a girl was making friends with Adrien? That they shared a class? Marinette has "won" in the sense that she's dating Adrien, and even by the clips Adrien is kinda uncomfortable with Marinette's behavior (if only he knew how deep it went) but he tried to frame it in his mind with Marinette trying to make friends, because to his knowledge, what else could it be? But that's not enough for Marinette. Adrien has to be hers and hers alone. Does she even consider WHY Adrien may be wanting to make new friends? Everyone considers Gabriel a hero, which must make conflicting feelings on Adrien (if only the show got to explore that but I know it won't) while we, the audience and literally half of the heroes know Gabriel was Monarch. Adrien is finally free from Gabriel's controlling and abusive environment and is trying to explore new avenues of expressing freedom, like running. And he probably sees himself a bit in Sublime, and wants to help her out. Sublime might not even know who Gabriel Agreste is or was, which may be such a relief for Adrien in some way he can't place yet. But you know what scene hurts me the most?
Tumblr media
THIS. THIS SCENE RIGHT HERE.
The expression on Sublime's face, pure exhaustion, grief, as her legs are broken, nay, destroyed. This girl has probably had mishaps before with prosthetics but this is akin to being assaulted, someone violated her personal space and ruined a piece of her. And she has to keep going, because that's all she knows. Because if she breaks down, she is seen as weak, pathetic, invalid. And if she keeps going everything is fine, but she's also seen as heartless, a machine. And that balance is exhausting to maintain and I am sick of that double standard placed on disabled people, especially disabled women/female presenting. She is allowed to cry, allowed to get upset, and yet literally the caption is about freaking Marinette. Marinette, the one who destroyed her legs and pretended to be an akuma to harass her, and we are supposed to feel bad for her? To pity her? No. Absolutely not. Imagine all the young disabled kids watching this scene, especially disabled girls, seeing that their feelings are invalid because their sadness got someone akumatized when in reality it was the harasser whose actions should be held accountable, but the narrative won't let that be shown. They must have been so happy to see a girl like them in a show, only for her to be suddenly the "bad guy"? And if they feel one negative emotion, bad things happen. Sure in real life a magical terrorist won't turn you into a monster, but it might as well have the same reaction. Because we aren't supposed to feel unless it's positive, and even then we can't show too many positive emotions because that's being haughty. The double standard indeed. And it hurts even more because of that face on Sublime? I see that every freaking day in the morning.
( TW for seizures, hospitals, skip to * if you need to.)
Getting personal here, but not only do I have a cane that I need to use as necessary, and have been relying on more and more, but recently I have been having seizures. And these suck. Like so bad. Especially since nobody can figure out the cause of them. I live in a state with one of the best healthcare systems for my country and yet nobody is figuring out what's causing them, and I've had so many horrible experiences with paramedics and hospitals (some thinking I'm faking it and won't treat me, others I won't mention here because their harm is still fresh). And what's worse is that they are triggering conditions I thought had gone dormant after physical therapy, like a condition that paralyzes my legs and vocal cords. It's making me have a worse short term memory and making me so afraid and exhausted. *But I have to keep going. But sometimes you don't want to, and you can see that in Sublime's face that she's so tired but she knows she has to. Her trembling fingers as she tries to fix her shattered prosthetics BY HERSELF .
And the sad thing is? She's trying so hard not to blame Marinette, because in her mind she's responsible for her prosthetics and any damage that happens to them. If this was a reverse situation, Marinette had no problem blaming Sublime for talking to Adrien when she literally did nothing wrong. But here's the kicker. Marinette did do something wrong. She accosted, tampered with, and harassed a girl all for being potential friends with Adrien, who she should know would never cheat on her, he's not built like that (literally. And Marinette knows this and YET-) Sublime shows the maturity of a girl who had to grow up too fast, which often is the case with disabled kids, not to mention probably a result of her mother/coach. Marinette shows the maturity of a girl whose favorite doll might have to be shared with the class. And one of them is a hero of Paris. To reiterate my earlier point, screw you Astruc. And even though she's not real, this is for what she stands for: Screw You Marinette.
Bro as someone who uses a walking aid (a cane) and is disabled seeing the new trailer for Miraculous Ladybug makes me absolutely furious. I have never felt so much hatred for a fictional character before and yet here we are. I didn't like Marinette before but like, this just. This hits way too close to home and I know Astruc is going to frame it in a way that makes Marinette the good guy. But NOTHING excuses touching a disability aid without permission, especially fooling around with it and sabotaging it. And the fact that a younger generation is going to see this, I absolutely can't. I feel so bad for disabled children who will see this scene on TV and have their feelings be in the wrong, shown that they are the bad guys for getting upset, or heavens forbid being disabled. Screw you Astruc.

Day After Day | 日复一日
25k | T | Weilan | Case Fic, Undercover Married, Grief
Shen Wei swallows. “And this is why you asked me to—” he makes a vague gesture that means go undercover as your husband “—pretend with you.” Zhao Yunlan comes to a stop, eyes on Shen Wei. “That’s why the cover is a married couple. The reason I’m asking you is because there are no other options for people to go undercover with.” Shen Wei scoffs to give himself an excuse to look away. “You certainly know how to flatter someone, Zhao Yunlan.” Or: Four Haixingren disappear for two months after a stay at a romantic mountain retreat. Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan book a weekend there to find out what happened.
it's finally here!!! my beloved fic for the 520 day guardian reverse exchange! this was written for trobadora, who gave me the most delicious set of ideas to fit into a story. it was so fun.
i have no idea how to describe this fic, frankly - this is, hands down, the most complex and most heartwrenching and most incredible thing i've ever written in my entire life.
here is a list of some things in it: a kiss, a mystery, a change of heart. old chinese people, dark energy world-building, lesbians, big-time character parallels, forgery of documents, rainstorms, rowboats, lollipop symbolism, [redacted], bedsharing, grading, the stupidest undercover name ever. zhao yunlan described with so many light metaphors. shen wei being the most shen wei i could make him.

Finally finished my anniversary piece, even if it's a couple days late :')
The 14th of January was mine and Heinz' third anniversary! He's been with me since 2021 and seriously, he's made my life so much better. Things haven't always been easy, but imagining that he's by my side helps me so much whenever I'm feeling down or stressed. Falling for him took me completely by surprise, and I never expected my love for him to grow so strong, but here we are. I love all my f/os, but he still earns a special place among them. He's my everything and my heart belongs to him❤️
I hope I can draw more of him and me/Selina in the coming year, since I actually have so many ideas! I want to show more of their story, I want to draw funny and cute moments between them, I want them to be happy and completely and utterly infatuated with each other. Here's hoping for many more good memories together <3
Also an alternate version under the cut because I couldn't decide whether I wanted an actual background or not (but decided in the end that the characters should be more in the focus)
