Prompt 14 - Courage

@wolfstarmicrofic August 14, word count 628

Previous part First Wolfstar part

The morning was going by quite pleasantly. He and Remus had woken early and spent those precious few extra minutes tangled up with one another. He was relaxed and painfully happy, even his most irritating customers couldn’t take the dopey smile off his face. That is until James banged his way in with Regulus clinging to his back like an oversized backpack.

“Nope, nope, nope, put him down!” Sirius strode out of his kitchen, arms full of people’s orders and glared at his brother as he quickly dropped off the orders to each table and walked over to the one James and Regulus had seated themselves at. Regulus had swung his legs over James’s lap when Sirius had started towards them. Sirius gritted his teeth and counted to ten in his head.  

“Good morning to you as well, brother. Two pumpkin spice lattes when you’re ready and some pain au chocolat, please and thank you,” Regulus was being oddly pleasant. He dragged his fingers across James’s collarbone and Sirius had to count again. He tried a different tack. Regulus was clearly trying to wind him up so he’d just be nice like Remus had told him to be. 

“Look, I get him drinking that disgusting trend of a concoction, but there is no way on earth that you enjoy the taste of that rubbish. Please, for my sanity and your taste buds, let me get you something better,” There, that was nice. He could be nice. Regulus narrowed his eyes at him. Trying to figure out his angle. Sirius swallowed. He just wanted this to be over. 

“Oh, alright,” Regulus nodded his head. Sirius sighed internally. “I honestly don’t know how you drink that stuff, sunshine. It’s truly foul,” Regulus said to James. Oh, great, Sirius thought, he’s already given James a nickname. But at least he’d done something nice for Regulus. It was a start. He had to keep reminding himself that Regulus was not the problem, his parents were. 

“Order up, Moony,” He told Remus, pining up the little slip of paper before heading into the kitchen to get their food. At least pain au chocolat was an easy one. All he had to do was grab two clean plates and take the pastries out from under the glass cloche. 

“James and Regulus’s drinks are ready, sweetheart,” Remus called to him from around the corner. 

“Thanks.” He called back. He took a moment to build up the courage he’d need when he walked back out there to keep his cool and not fly off the handle. Carefully, he balanced the plates on a tray and went to collect the drinks.

He was just approaching their table again when he overheard the conversation they were having. 

“Do I really need to spell it out for you sunshine? I mean we were showering together an hour ago. We’ve seen each other every day for the last week. I’m totally into you,” Regulus hummed happily at James, and Sirius watched as James stroked his hand up Regulus’s cheek and pulled him down towards his lips. Sirius hurried forward to break them up before they could actually kiss in front of him. 

“Ahem, what do you mean you were showering together an hour ago?” He growled. He was losing his cool. Be nice, be nice, he repeated in his head. Regulus turned towards him and Sirius knew this was what he’d been building up to. His face was full of wicked mischief. 

“Let’s just say the water didn’t do much to drown out our moans, and we’ll leave it at that, shall we?” Regulus purred, his teeth glistening in a Cheshire Cat grin. Sirius dumped the tray on their table and ran back to his kitchen. BE NICE, BE NICE!!!

@glossysoap I blame you for this

[happy-little-nightmares]

I have a complicated relationship with the holidays so I’m making some art about it.

And then I’m going to put it on greeting cards.

[spaciebabie]

A homebrew creature I designed and used in a one-shot last weekend! This nasty boy surprised my players as it stalked them through a lumber yard after a meteor had crash landed during a meteor shower. Feel free to use the token in your own games. Just please if you're sharing it around link back to me! <3

Thinking about Jack trying to interact with the kids at Bon’s Burgers…he’s so tall the kids might give themselves whiplash trying to look up at him. He definitely would have had to crouch down until his knees were level with his ears to even make eye contact.

I feel like we don’t talk enough about how Dabi grins manically when he feels any sort of feeling he’s not comfortable with

[fizziefactory]

I decided to draw all the fizzies [+ @rollinpinwheel ] in their preferred casual outfits, the kind of clothes they'd not wear while out working (which some of them are able to do, while others never will)

‘Twas brillig and the slithy toves

Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

And the mome raths outgrabe…

You have entered the Tulgey Wood, the home of Che’nya. When the curious cat beastman is not attending classes at RSA or out bothering visiting his friends at NRC, Che’nya will usually be found here, wandering his Wood.

Make sure you keep a good grip on your mind - you wouldn’t want to lose it now! - because things are a little different around here…

If you’re curiouser and curiouser - please be sure to read the directions to be directed in the right direction… but not necessarily directly!

Know that you ignore the rules of the Tulgey Wood at your own peril! 😼⤵️

Before you go any further, you should know Che’nya is not alone in his Wood. He has kidnapped convinced his best friend, AR, to live with him! Where Che’nya goes, AR goes. AR is as much a part of the Tulgey Wood and the world of Twisted Wonderland as Che’nya himself is, so do not be surprised when AR and Che’nya interact!

AR is both a character and the roleplayer. How can AR be the roleplayer for Che’nya if they’re also a character? Well, that certainly is an interesting question, isn’t it? I suppose you’ll have to read further to find out. You were warned that things are different around here…

While all of Wonderland is Mad, there are rules here. The Queen of Hearts has made sure of it! Very loudly! And even someone as chaotic as Che’nya listens to the Queen most of the time. But these are AR’s rules and everyone is expected to follow them, even Che’nya!

Rules of the Tulgey Wood

1️⃣ There is an actual person behind this account. Remember that and be kind and respectful. If you break the rules you will either be ignored, told the rule/s you broke and directed to it/them, or outright blocked.

9️⃣ Be a decent human being to everyone - not just the person behind this blog. Racism, homophobia, misogyny, transphobia, etc. are not tolerated here. MAPs and pro-shippers are also unwelcome. If I ever do/say/reblog anything offensive myself, feel free to tell me and I will correct it! I am human and make mistakes.

3️⃣ The admin running this blog is an adult in their mid twenties. Please keep this in mind. For your safety and my own, if you are a minor, I ask that you only interact with me through asks so that I can answer them publicly. That way the entire interaction is in full view of others.

8️⃣ I do not rp in DMs. If I contact you via Tumblr DM or you contact me in DMs, I will be talking to you OOC.

4️⃣ Everything will be answered at my own discretion and time frame. Not only do I have a life outside of this blog, but I often end up putting a lot of effort into just one reply, making my response time a little slow. Because of this, I can easily get overwhelmed with notifications and burnout, so I sometimes need to step away and take breaks. Please be patient, and thank you for understanding!

2️⃣ While this blog is fairly NSFW, as I allow cursing, some smaller horror-esqe descriptions, and can speak of darker topics, one thing that I do not allow is sexual content. While Che’nya is very tactile and highly physically affectionate, the furthest he will go is kissing, nuzzling, cuddling, etc. He may also do some cat things such as scenting, kneading, kitten licks, nipping, etc., but that is as far as I am comfortable with.

6️⃣ This is a multiship blog. Which means that while Che’nya can date multiple people, those relationships will not intersect with each other, belonging in their own pocket realities. Che’nya, being self aware, is unique in that he is aware of all his partners in every reality and is honest with every partner about the situation. So, to him, it’s more like he’s in a polyamorous polycule. But, for the purpose of the blog itself, because his partners will ever interact as fellow S/Os, this blog is multiship.

5️⃣ Other rp blogs and OCs are absolutely welcome! However, if it’s your character’s first time talking to Che’nya, especially an OC, I ask that you either give a brief explanation as to who they are at the bottom of the ask you send or provide a link to an intro post that I can read so I know who I’m talking to and Che’nya can act accordingly. I am not going to hunt down information about your character if you are wanting to interact with me. It would be different if I was reaching out to you. A summary can be as simple or as long as you like. Here’s an example of a short one provided by @castaway-achlys:

“Character is a mild-mannered and typically quiet boy. Despite his past, he's incredibly intelligent and curious about the world, and always has kindness in store for others. He is 18 and in the Ignihyde dorm.”

7️⃣ Much longer rule because it comes with a little added explanation on Che’nya! But it is just as important!

Please refrain from god modding. Che’nya is my character. I do not appreciate it when you try to force him to act like you want him to, you assume he will react/act in a certain way, or you try to force your headcanons onto the character I am roleplaying. This is not the canon Che’nya, nor is this your version of Che’nya. This is my version of Che’nya.

If you do not know what god modding is, here is a link! And before you click on it, know the tone is /lh

Bouncing off of “no god modding,” people may try to complain that my Che’nya is OP because I let him metagame and seem to let him powerplay. (I will not provide links to these terms - if you don’t know them I think the link previously provided will have been enough to tell you what to do to fix that 😂) While I can’t argue with the metagaming, as Che’nya is self aware, I can argue with powerplay.

Che’nya is not all powerful… unless he is in his Tulgey Woods, where he is the Ultimate Game Master and controls everything. But that does not mean he doesn’t have weaknesses, even there. And once OUT of the Wood, Che’nya is NOT all powerful. He is still strong, but he is no longer the Ultimate Game Master. The key would be managing to catch the cat. Which would be incredibly difficult, but it could be done. This is why Che’nya does not often leave the Tulgey Wood. He is well aware of his vulnerability.

Then there is the fact that, even if he is very powerful, enough to even warp reality at times… he has also managed to get his head stuck in a teapot, summoned marshmallows and skewers to roast them but complained he had no chocolate or graham crackers so he couldn’t make s’mores, and has run face-first into walls more than once.

He may be Powerful, but he is also Mad and Silly and that can make him Stupid at times. It would be no fun if he was truly all powerful all the time.

🔟 This blog is run entirely on mobile with only a few exceptions. So please forgive any weird formatting.

Tags are important on this blog! Not only does Che’nya often speak in them (AR sometimes joins in, even when they were not present in the main post), but there are also good sorting tags to check out if you’re interested!

Tagging System

Sorting Tags - Che’nya

#che’nya meows - when Che’nya makes an original post speaking whatever nonsense comes to him

#che’nya chats - when Che’nya replies to asks sent to him… and yes, that is a play on “chat” being French for “cat,” but no, it’s not for you Rook lovers it’s a REFERENCE TO THE BOOK LET ME LIVE MY LIFE 😭

#che’nya wanders - when Che’nya leaves the Tulgey Wood to go visit other blogs and send his own asks, usually to stir up mischief

#che’nya appears - when Che’nya suddenly pops up on a post, often without warning or invatation

#che’nya grins - when Che’nya finds something purrticularly fun, funny, and/or fabulous 😸

#che’nya lore drop - my Che’nya is not the Che’nya from canon… since we don’t know much about him, I have made him my own

So, that being said…

#che’nya the [REDACTED] - when Che’nya does or says something, in the main post or the tags, that reminds us that he is more than just a silly kitty beastman… he is the Cheshire Cat

#che’nya knows no 4th wall - when Che’nya breaks the 4th wall because he is 100% self aware and does not care about architecture

Sorting Tags - AR

#ar speaks - when AR makes an original post IN CHARACTER (sometimes included even if AR only speaks in the tags)

#ar answers - when AR replies to asks IN CHARACTER (sometimes included even if AR only speaks in the tags)

#ar asks - when AR sends an ask to a blog IN CHARACTER (sometimes included even if AR only speaks in the tags)

#ar comments - when AR comments on posts they were not originally involved in IN CHARACTER (sometimes included even if AR only speaks in the tags)

#ar _____s ooc - when AR makes an original post, replies to asks, sends asks, or comments on posts OUT OF CHARACTER, explaining something that is happening to the blog admin irl

Speaking Tags - All

If only ONE person is speaking in/making a post, whether it’s Che’nya or AR, assume the person “talking” in the tags is them, even with no name identifier. However, if both are speaking, they will identify themselves.

#che’nya: Che’nya is speaking in this tag

#ar: AR is speaking in this tag - in character

#ooc: if you see this tag, I am talking as the admin and out of character, but this is not on a post I have made specifically to speak OOC

Event Tags

Whenever there is a fun situation that lasts a while happening on the blog, there will be a tag specific to the event! It will be formatted like this…

#che’nya event: [event]

Some people have been given their own unique tag. Here’s a list of those who have earned their own kind of cat bell from me that I tend to ring the most often! (let me know if you want to be untagged) There are some other people who have bells, but I don’t tag them as often.

[elias-magnusnt]

Elias,

I, ah... find I'm rather curious as to how it feels to be compelled? I wasn't much able to pay the feeling proper attention when you did so at our meeting, and the details are a little blurry, so, ah...

Would it—would it be rude to ask that you compel me again?

Yours, as ever (I suppose),

Jonah

Yes, that... can certainly be arranged. Would be my pleasure. I'd prefer to be able to look at you with my own eyes when I do it, however.
