#I always just saw it in fanart and thought it was just a cool looking headcanon

[rationaliity]

there's a lot of words in here about that one fanart that i saw of ratio having an emo phase, you're so welcome guys for those who say my favorite is welt yang & not ratio,,,, how does it feel being wrong ( i still love welt yang SO much it makes me look stupid )

you swore you remember who veritas ratio was ! that was the guy who went to school at veritas prime on recommendation and absolutely blew through every single class that he attended. shoot, you were sure he taught a few classes himself despite being a student there. he was that unkempt guy, with the messy, slightly wavy dyed indigo hair that he clearly never brushed, the hair dye always overgrown and showing his brown roots, and the tongue piercing. he was tired looking, always having bags under his eyes from lack of sleep, with so much eyeshadow lazily slapped on for the added effect that he undoubtedly slept in for three nights in a row before he finally took a shower. and he always smelled so strongly of weed that it would make someone's eyes water a little bit just by standing around him for a minute or two.

you were sure that he slept through every single class, if he even bothered to show up, anyway. unless it was a test day, or he just wanted to show up and fuck around with the less gifted, you doubted he ever showed up. probably too busy trying to prove to his parents that he was more than his brains, of course. didn't he have a garage band with a few of his friends that went to a different school than him ? what was it called again ? ' irrational piety ' ? was that a joke on his name and pi ? and... god ? edgy, egotistical, and nerdy, exactly who he was as a person summed up short and sweet.

he was that guy who had approached you so many times in veritas prime, asking you about yourself, trying to show off. he was clumsy with it, his manner and the way he spoke made it clear that his family was filled with important people. scholars, doctors, teachers of any type. there was no doubt that genius was simply a way of living at his house, and he was determined at this time to be different.

you had to admit, it was charming in its own way. veritas wasn't your typical crowd that you would hang around with, but he was somehow still sort of down to earth in his own way, although it was silly. you thought it was cute how he bumbled over his words trying to be cool in front of you. you tried to pretend to be aloof and indifferent to his advances, but you leaned into them at the same time, too. you knew that he would listen if you told him to wash the makeup off his face. you told him it was because he didn't need it, but in reality, you were just worried about his skin back then. you weren't downright rude to him, and you found yourself laughing with him more often than you found yourself laughing at him.

you remembered when you spent that night with him in his dorm, and how weird it felt in your stomach for months when he graduated two years earlier than he was supposed to, and left you behind. you knew that he had to go do something important, you knew that was just who he was. no matter who he was going to be externally, you never had any doubt that he was going to be someone so incredibly important to the world around you, possibly to the entire cosmos. you thought that his passion for learning was going to outweigh anything else, and maybe you were right. you had lost contact with him for years, you honestly had no idea where he was now.

so who was this in front of you claiming to be doctor veritas ratio of the intelligentsia guild, and why did he have the same face as that man you knew in school ? there was a pause, a moment of recollection between the two of you, and you opened your mouth to say something, anything, but the words didn't come out. he looked so similar, but so different at the same time. it seemed that despite everything, he decided to keep up with the indigo hair, although he was doing a great job at keeping up with his root touchups. he probably got it done every two weeks religiously now.

" dr. ratio ? " you repeated his official title weakly, finally. you weren't surprised that he was who he was, no, that wasn't it. maybe it was just the nostalgia, coming face to face with the man who had so quickly and unwittingly became your first love, even if you never openly said it out loud to him. " you, err, decided to drop the eyeshadow, i guess ? "

in a moment, veritas' face paled, and he found himself at a loss for words. " ..yes, i did. that was a long time ago, i'm not the same person i used to be. "

" i think you're exactly the same, " you cut him off, shaking your head with a little smile on your face. " i mean, you don't have the dark eyeshadow anymore, and you smell like you shower now. you probably have those fancy baths with the bath bombs and flowers and milk to make your skin soft, am i right ? but you're still you, you know what i'm saying ? pre or post garage band. "

veritas seemed to calm down with your words, although it was clear that he wasn't happy that you still recalled that garage band that he so desperately wanted to erase from everyone's memories. and yet, he found himself chuckling softly, shaking his head. " out of all of the things i've created, i've yet to create something that entirely erases specific memories from people. how i wish i could make you forget all that you saw back then. "

" well, i remember. and i don't ever intend to forget, " you joked softly, tentatively stepping over the big question. did that night mean anything ? did any of it mean anything, actually ? sure, you can say that he's the same man, but is he really ? the man back then would've stumbled over his own feet to get you to look at him, and you found it so cute that you couldn't help but give in and fall in love with him. you'd always regretted not telling him, but here you were, with what could perhaps be a second chance just waiting on the horizon for you. if you played your cards right, if veritas wanted you to play your hand. " what happened ? "

" i grew up, " he responded, as if he had anticipated this question, something that you knew he likely had. " i couldn't just stay that way forever. people.. didn't respect me enough to hear what i was saying. "

" do you miss it ? "

" no, not really. "

you held your cards closer to your chest. that was a pretty clear answer to any of your questions so far, which might hurt if you gave yourself time to think about it, but you wouldn't. instead, you just gave him a silly little grin. " pity, i thought you were rather cute with your fake tattoos. do you still have the tongue piercing ? "

veritas paused for a moment, before opening his mouth, showing off the little ball on his tongue. " i thought about letting it close up, but decided against it. " you remembered so clearly how that piercing felt against your- now was not the moment to think about things like that.

" why do you still dye your hair ? " you asked, trying to think of something else other than his piercing at the moment. " not that i don't like the indigo. i think it suits you. "

" i believe it's just become a necessary part of my appearance. i don't think i look right with just brown hair, but that's subjective. now i have the proper schedule to keep up with care, so i make sure its always taken care of. " veritas doesn't sound awkward any more answering any of your questions. on the contrary, it looks like he's enjoying it, just a little bit. although you knew better than to mention that out loud. no matter what his appearance was, you knew the core of his personality was still the exact same. some things never change.

you felt so stuck in the past, unable to distinct this veritas from the man bumbling over his own feet so long ago. but you had to admit, veritas still made your heart beat so wildly out of your chest. you weren't sure if it was the memories, or just who he was as a person. " well, that's a lot of questions just to say that i think you look great, no matter what you wear or how you present yourself. appearances don't really matter at the end of the day. not to those who really care. "

" thank you, " veritas couldn't stop a small smile from forming on his face, and for a second you saw him again, the golden retriever of a person, hidden beneath layers. " ...would you like to catch up over coffee later ? "

you couldn't stop yourself from laughing a little bit, raising an eyebrow. " veritas, i thought you didn't like coffee ? "

" oh... well, my tastes have changed, too. " what a liar. maybe he really hasn't changed all that much at the end of the day.

[ohbo-ohno]

Don't really know what to do with this thought so I'm sharing this with you, but Ghost and Soap getting on a tram one day and the only seats left are next to this timid looking thing, trying to make herself as small as possible, silently hoping these two big men will settle for holding onto one of the poles or handle bars above. They clock in on her immediately, pretending to be kind and polite, making her feel safe as they sit on either side of her, boxing her in. They learn her routine and always get on when she's on.

Slowly, they start to cop a feel every once in a while, apologizing because 'it was an accident' and she doesn't think much of it at first, but she cant help but think something is off about them the more frequently it becomes, so she settles for standing up the next time she gets on the tram, holding onto a pole in the back corner. They'll probably leave her alone, right?

Soap and Ghost get on and see that their new toy has moved from the regular seat, obviously trying to avoid them. They're upset, and instead of leaving her alone like she hoped, they stand next to her, Simon using his body to block the view, though it doesn't really matter to either of them if anyone sees, and Johnny gets behind her to trap her between the pole and himself. They tell her not to make such a fuss as they take turns groping her because what would the people think if they saw her acting so slutty in public?

There's nothing she can do to stop them. It happens every single time she rides the tram now and she can't go on a different one because it's her only mode of transportation to work. It even gets to the point where Ghost and Soap can take a turn to fuck her before her stop because she's so quiet and good for them. They just have to remind her to keep being quiet and good as they fill her up with a load to drip down her thighs throughout her day. When they can, they steal her panties. One day they'll steal her away, too.

hey woah woah. how dare you infect me with these brainworms. not cool! (i love you)

nsfw in link but here's some fanart of ghost doing exactly this ask to soap

cw: noncon

i know a lot of people dislike reader inserts because the reader tends to lack agency, but i personally think it's hot for a character to be taken advantage of and very much so enjoy this image

you probably cant tell from literally everything i've ever posted on this blog but im a big fan of johnny and simon just doing whatever they want to you and you can't stop them. always leaves me melting to imagine them just... not caring whether you want them touching you or not. horrible men

i love this because i can just imagine the increasing discomfort and awkwardness as they push the boundaries of what's acceptable every day.

it starts with johnny just resting his thigh against yours, and yeah its a bit odd that his leg follows you when you try to give him more room, but you figure he's just being a dick and manspreading. and you can't go very far, because you'll bump into simon :( you scooch away from johnny a tiny bit and suddenly there's a big hand on your knee from simon, to hold you still and let he and johnny press against you as much as they want

i also like the image of you sitting in the corner with johnny boxing you in from the other seat and ghost standing in front of you to block every one else's view. johnny maybe leans over you, panting against the top of your head with a hand up your shirt using your tits as stresstoys :/ maybe moves down to sucking at you neck and when you look up you see ghost just staring down at you

ghost having you sit on his lap when you try and stand up one day. sits right behind you, wraps his big hands around the front of your thighs and tugs you down so you're sitting on him. pushes the back of your shirt up, pulls open his pants, and has you warm his cock for the ride :( doesn't fuck you, but maybe he rubs your clit and that + the little bounces of the bus/train moving get you off

[tinyfantasminha]

Okay so I KNOW that you're a selfship kinda gal most of the time, but I recently saw this jp artist on one of my feeds that's been drawing some kinda really cute Idia/Jack things lately? What are your thoughts, queen 🎙

I think I know the artist you're talking about 😳I've been sharing a few of their art too,,,,,

Since Idia is amongst my top faves, I always liked to imagine him and Jack interacting more 😭I'm mostly indifferent to shipping them romantically, like I don't think I'd go on my way to look for fanfics or whatever but I always go crazy seeing fanart of them together since it's so rare! The fact they are completely OPPOSITES makes for such a fun dynamic but it makes them also rarely interact or want to do anything with each other 😭*puts them in a small pot so I can force them to be on the same space*

Tbh I like to think that Idia is secretly salty and envious of Jack because Jack looks like a cool shonen protagonist irl or a superhero... kinda like the type of character Idia envisioned to be when he was a kid before the tragedy with Ortho happened and he's just like ''ugh that macho guy thinks he's a chad doesn't he🙄'' when Jack is just existing 😂

If I'm going to be honest, I think Idia does have a few fictional hunk oshis on his own but he feels conflicted when seeing an irl buff guy bc it's a mixture of simp admiration and repulsion (bi ace king imo) like it's funny to imagine Idia spying on him with his tablet and being like ''look at those HD muscle definitions... omg it's just like (insert hunk character)'' but getting close to Jack irl makes Idia viscerally recoil and want to run for his life 😭 (as seen in his recent room relaxation vignette, FINALLY my crumbs!!!)

also (conveniently ignoring the whole context of this scene) HEY?? 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍🌈❓❓

Also this is mostly an AU I keep in private in discord servers but sometimes I think of how..... fitting it would be for a hercules AU where Idia is (obviously) Hades and Jack is Herc 🫢CAUSE HHJGDHNfdjjgXX...... PURE HEARTED, SLIGHTLY NAIVE, STRONG, BEEFY...... ITS FITTING FOR JACK RIGHT??? (and twstvic as Meg for... for obvious reasons.... b-but this isn't about my yumes)

Realistic it wouldn't go like that cause Idia can barely stay within a 3-meter radius from Jack...

[ultrainfinitepit]

Saw your recent post about questions and thought I’d ask; Why angels? Specifically how did you find yourself peering into the biblically accurate/inspired angel content and then making it yourself? Was it a certain show or game? Cool art?

Also! If you’re up to answering a second question- is there any type of angel (or angelic esk creature) found in another religion or work (comic, show ect) that you’d like to draw more of/attempt drawing?

Here’s my previous answer with pictures, as well as a post on why I like drawing them, but I’ll summarize here!

I’ve always been interested in cool creatures, but the eldritch angels specifically started after I played Diablo III and watched Evangelion. Those things opened my eyes to how angels could look different from “guy with wings.” Around the same time I also started seeing a lot of fanart and videos for Bloodborne, and those designs inspired me too. And I just happened to see art by other angel artists at the time, so it all combined into the perfect storm of inspiration. I also have a lot of angel OCs that are my muses.

I've been meaning to draw my take on Death and the Wood Sprite from Del Toro's Pinocchio for a while now! I love their designs. Just need a spare minute between pin designing and Art Fight and everything else. I've also seen people do character redesigns for popular shows/media and I think it would be fun to try that myself one day.

[phaticserpent]

gosh this is such a random request but i was just drawing fanart of pan and then i was thinking about him with like a shy artist y/n?

like they’ve been on neverland only for a little while and has a bit of a crush on him and so they’re like secretly drawing him a lot- and maybe one day he accidentally finds those drawings (maybe some of them are even a bit explicit heh) and he like asks them about it and they get super flustered and then idk fluff or smut or whatever ensues~

ahsjdbjdbc i feel like this could be really cute

OOOOO !!! AND NOTHING IS A RANDOM REQUEST! THIS IS AN AMAZING REQUEST - I ALWAYS LOVE ARTIST!READER <3

Being part of Neverland and Pan's crew of lost ones was a lot to take in, but definitely not in protest. You enjoyed their company and the wild energy of the group. Still, you weren't wild which did confuse some of the lost boys and even worried Pan.

The only one who seemed to understand your silence, was Felix, which you were thankful for. While you were still getting accustomed to Neverland, Felix helped you gain your confidence and voice, so you gradually started conversing with the other boys.

There was just a slight problem, you were still nervous and awkward around Pan. He took it personally and felt offended, which meant he confided to Felix about your true feelings and Felix couldn't tell - since he didn't really know either. In truth? You were hiding our feelings and pages full of drawings of him. It started out small, like a couple of doodles of his side profile, him playing the panpipes, and then your entire sketchbook was filled with drawings of Pan. You felt almost ashamed and guilty, you were afraid that he would find you weird if he ever saw them.

So you tried to avoid him or minimize the conversation, just so he didn't suspect anything. But he did. And he wanted to get to the bottom of it.

While you and Felix took your nightly strolls, where the two of you find comfort in each other's company and the scenery of Neverland, Pan goes to your tent to confront you but finds it empty.

"Hey," Felix starts. "So...Pan has been asking me and I'm also curious, but he notices that you're different around him compared to the other lost boys."

Your face flushed. "Oh....he's been asking about me?"

"Mhm, he's worries and he thinks you hate him or something."

"Oh." You sighed. "I don't hate him. I just feel....awkward, like he's really cool and he's the leader. Not to mention, he's conventionally attractive and it makes me embarrassed....."

"....You like him."

"What? No....I don't."

"......It's obvious."

"It is?" You cried.

"Well, not to Pan." Felix chuckled. "But you make it obvious."

"Oh." You sighed. "Felix, what do I do? I can't have feelings for Pan!"

"Don't ask me." Felix shrugged. "I'm not good with relationships and feelings, but I would say....be honest. He would appreciate it."

You smiled at him. "Thank you." By the time you returned, Pan had already seen all your drawings. Your face flushed and your mouth hung agape as he stared at some of your pieces, turning his head to finally notice your return.

"Oh! (Y/N), I-"

"What are you doing here? And.....you saw my drawings!" You cried out. Admitting defeat, you put your face in your hands while shaking your head. "I'm going to jump off a cliff."

"No!" Pan protested. He gently set down your drawings before prying your hands out of your face. "Look at me?" With your face heated in embarrassment, you looked up at him.

"....Don't hate me."

"......Why would I hate you?" Pan raised a brow. You shamefully pointed at your drawings and he chuckled softly. "Love, I'm flattered. Am I your muse?"

"Pan!" You gasped. "I.....ugh." Once again, your buried your face into your hands. Pan sighed and hesitantly pulled you in for a hug. You stood there, frozen in shock and confusion.

"I don't hate you, I'm more confused by everything. You keep avoiding me and running away.....I thought I did something to offend you." Pan breathed out. "So imagine my confusion when the person I thought hated me.....dedicated an entire sketchbook of me. Yeah? You get me, love?"

"Heh," You smiled into his neck. "I get you."

Pan pulled back and you met his gaze, he raised a brow with a teasing smirk gradually growing on his lips. You could practically hear what he was about to say. "I can't believe you've been hiding these drawings of me.....from me!"

Your face flushed and his laughter from your reaction was so contagious but so annoying, you just wanted to.....Pan's eyes widened in shock when you pulled him down to press your lips to his. You pulled away, letting out a shaky breath to say a quick apology, when he pulled you back in and kiss you with more vigor.

His kiss moved from your lips to your jaw, and he let out a breathy groan against the shell of your ear. "How about we make up for lost time, yeah?" He knows how to pull a reaction from you.

Hihi I wanted to say thank you ! Bit random but your fic has helped me realize that it’s okay to just have fun with writing a fic and it doesn’t have to follow any rules or such.

I used to only write main ideas for fics I wanted to write but was always too nervous about messing up or it sounding dull that I never managed to follow through, but while reading LoF and such, it’s helped me see that it’s a lot more relaxed than I thought it to be. I can happily say I’m writing my own contribution to the Spidey in Gotham niche and yeah I just wanted to thank you <3

And a a little question of how you decided on all the suits for your AUs ? Like Peter’s jacket in LoF or that INCREDIBLE venom AU suit (it looks so cool)

Ahhh that's so cool!! I really really love that!! Writing is supposed to be fun and crazy and adventurous! You write for yourself first, forget about what could be "cringe" or "lame" to someone else, and go for it! :) I hope your writing journey takes you far and you see many places to write about!

And I've always been fascinated by character design. It started with my first ever anime, Fairy Tail. The designs can be cheesy or fanservicey but I loved that they never really made sense in a set of time or era specific, and that they were always interesting, if a little cooky.

Designing suits is a pain in the ass, but fun. It's a lot of looking at artwork that I really enjoy that other artists made and seeing what I think the character I'm designing for would like the most- or looking at fashion from all different walks of life. It's also a lot of keeping in mind a characters story, the themes of their life, etc. Details, details, details.

I decided on the jacket that Peter wears in LoF because, well, he needed a jacket. It's getting colder and his regular jackets weren't going to cut it for the whole "secret identity" thing. So far in Peter's life, he'd been wearing what is "practical" to have and not what he wanted to have. In LoF, he's starting to branch out in his identity as Spider-Man. He looks up to Jason in a way (thinks he's cool) so I figured he'd want to wear something like Jason. He got the new jacket and he ended up wearing a domino mask too- something to symbolize that his time in Gotham is starting to change him. It's no coincidence that he gets these items and the same chapter, he ends up finally at the Batcave.

But with him designing the jacket, making it his own, and even putting an Iron Man patch on one sleeve? It means he's still himself, Spider-Man, and he's still got his home on the mind. It just also happens that Peter cares about Gotham now, too.

As for the venom suit, I took influence in the Venom designs I saw from the comics or fanart (I didn't make a board, so I can't pull up the exact refs right now), and also looking at other Spider designs from the Spiderverse movies. I kept it mostly the same suit I designed for LoF Peter, just with darker hands (as to say, blood stained), claws, a harsher/more vibrant red, etc, as a way to say that he has not moved past the kid he was when he was first bit, and Venom changed him for the worst. :)

I have more suit designs (such as LoF Peter's suit changing over time) but I can't share them yet,,,, They're technically spoilers,,,, RIP,,,,

You were walking down the hallway beside Kyle Spencer, your classmate, both of you so focused on your difficult homework that you completely missed the college bus.

You were walking down the hallway beside Kyle Spencer, your classmate, both of you so focused on your difficult homework that you completely missed the public college bus. You had met Kyle back in school, but it had been a few years since you’d seen him. He was your first love. You thought you had moved on, but being around him again made your heart ache, as if you had never really forgotten about him.

Trying to get closer to him or start a conversation felt a little awkward. It always seemed forced, and you didn’t want to make it weird. But Kyle had this way of making you feel at ease, like you didn’t have to worry about anything. He was so good at it.

Luckily, another bus pulled up. You’d never been on this route before, but Kyle said he knew it well. He sat next to you, giving you that sweet smile that made your heart do funny little flips.

“Are you sure you’ll be safe out there by yourself?” he asked, looking at you with concern.

“I’m used to walking alone at night,” you replied, trying to sound casual and shrugging.

He nodded, lips pressed into a straight line, looking worried.

“It’s dangerous for a girl to be out there alone,” he insisted, tilting his head.

“I know, but I do it all the time. Don’t worry about me,” you said, watching him glance out the window as the bus started moving.

The city was quiet, with only a few people going about their business. Honestly, though, the thought of being alone at this hour made your stomach twist. Your neighborhood wasn’t exactly the safest at night anymore, and the thought of being out there all alone, with who-knows-what lurking in the shadows, made your hands tremble with anxiety. You peered out of the window, suddenly realizing that Kyle’s stop had passed. You waited for him to get up, but he stayed seated, still looking out the window.

“Corndog Pop,” he laughed, pointing at a food truck. “Who told them that was a good name?”

“Kyle… isn’t that your stop?” you raised an eyebrow, confused.

He looked up at you, giving you a shy smile as he rubbed the back of his neck. “I couldn’t leave you alone, you know.”

His soft, honeyed voice made your heart melt like ice cream. You shyly met his gaze, noticing a faint blush on his cheeks, probably from his cute smile.

“Thank you, Kyle.”

You couldn’t help but grin from ear to ear, feeling a little giddy as you locked eyes with him for the first time in what felt like forever. The bus seemed to be taking its sweet time, weaving through the city with no sign of your neighborhood in sight. But you didn’t mind. As long as you were with Kyle, everything else just felt... right.

“Do you remember that day that you tried to look if I saw porn on my PC and you just found a whole pack of Sonic whole lore and fanarts?” He remembers, belly laughing at the memory of how flustered you were discovering it. 

“Of course I do,” you said, smiling as you remembered that day. “That was the moment I realized you were the sweetest person I could ever imagine.” You gently massaged your stomach, still laughing at the memory of how embarrassed you had been back then.

“Hey, don't say that! I'm cool, okay?” Kyle chuckled, mimicking your gesture and laughing even harder. It was so contagious, you both ended up giggling for a while.

“You’re cool and sweet, Kyle,” you corrected yourself, smiling at him with a warmth that felt like sunshine. God, just being around him made you so happy. You felt like you could smile forever, and your cheeks would be sore from all the laughter and joy he brought into your life.

“Hey, kids. You’ve gotta get off, that’s the last stop,” the bus driver said, his voice flat and bored, cutting through your lovely conversation.

“But there are still a few stops—” Kyle started, but the driver interrupted him.

“I don’t care, that’s the last one,” the bus driver grumbled.

You squeezed Kyle’s hand, reassuring him, and the two of you got off the bus together, watching it drive away with a cloud of smoke trailing behind it. The quiet of the streets felt a little lonely after the bus disappeared. Kyle kicked a small rock, his expression turning a little serious as he shoved his hands in his pockets.

“It’s okay, Kyle,” you said softly, reaching out to comfort him, gently rubbing his back.

“You’re right. He’s just... ugh, never mind,” he muttered, frustration lingering in his voice, but it softened when he looked at you again. “Come on, I’ll walk you home.”

“What? Really? But it’s so far from here, and it’s late... I don’t want to keep you out so late,” you said, worried.

“Don’t worry about it,” Kyle said with a grin, adjusting his backpack. “Come on, lead the way.”

And so, you both started walking together, just like you used to when you were kids. No, this was better. You were so much closer now, and he was sharing all his funny stories—embarrassing secrets, too, while ruffling his hair as he heard your laugh. He told you all about his classmates, the silly guys at his fraternity, and his big dreams. You listened closely, hanging on every word, wishing this moment would never end. Even though it was freezing cold outside, you felt like you were wrapped in the warmth of summer just by being with him. How could you not be in love with someone so kind, so funny, and so beautiful inside and out?

“Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve talked to someone like this,” he said, looking down at you with a soft chuckle.

“Yeah, me too,” you smiled, gazing up into his tender dark eyes. “But, wait, how? You’re so popular now.You were so shy and now you’re in a team.”

“You think so?” He lit his face, “Uhm… it’s not something I say normally to anyone.”

“Then... why are you telling me?” you asked, a little confused, closing your eyes for a moment as you thought about it. It felt strange, but in a good way. He wasn’t even that close to you, but it still felt like... maybe you were closer than you thought. He chuckled at your question, then looked up at the stars, like he was thinking about how to answer.

“I feel comfortable around you,” he admitted, sounding a little unsure, like he was testing the waters to see how you’d react.

He takes a deep breath and glances at you. “So, uh... there’s something I’ve never really talked about, but I guess I should. It’s... kind of embarrassing.”

“Embarrassing?” You glance at him, curious

“Well, when I was younger, I had some... serious social anxiety. Like, I was terrified of talking to people. I used to avoid speaking in class and I’d get so nervous around anyone I didn’t know. I even went to a speech therapist for a while because it was that bad.”

You stop walking for a moment, surprised. “No way. You? But you’re so... confident now! I mean, I never would've guessed.”

“Yeah, it sounds weird, right? The therapist helped, though. But, honestly, even now, I still get those moments when I freeze up or get all tongue-tied.” He chuckles softly and scratches the back of his neck

Your face softens as you think for a moment, then nods in understanding. “Wow, that’s kind of crazy... because, um, I have social anxiety too. I’ve had it for ages, and I'm not getting really better.”

“Wait, really? You do too?” His eyes widened, clearly surprised.

“Yeah... like, all the time. Especially when I’m in big groups or have to talk to people I don’t know well. I freeze up, or my brain goes blank.” You shrug slightly, smiling a little sheepishly. 

He looks at you thoughtfully for a moment, a little smile tugging at the corner of his lips. “I honestly didn’t expect that... but it makes sense. Now that you mention it, I always feel so... comfortable talking to you. Like, I don’t feel that nervous, even when I’m saying stupid stuff.”

You grin at him, feeling your heart flutter a little. ”it’s just... easier. Even when we’re just talking about random things. I don’t feel all nervous or like I’m going to say something dumb.”

He lets out a little laugh, looking relieved.

“Yeah, exactly. It’s like, we’re not judging each other. It just feels... right. I don’t even know how to explain it.”

“Two anxious kids coming along.”You chuckle, looking up at the stars.

“Yeah, we got our club..”He smiles warmly at you, his voice soft and sincere.

As you approached your house, you felt a wave of sadness. You didn’t want this moment to end.

“Thank you... again,” you said, looking down at the ground to hide the sadness in your eyes. Kyle noticed, though. Without saying a word, he pulled you into a big hug, and you hugged him back just as tightly.

“Be safe, okay?” he said softly, pulling away from the hug with a gentle smile.

Kyle started walking toward his home, but something was gnawing at you. You had to tell him. You couldn’t let this moment slip away like the last time, when you never told him how you felt before leaving for another school. You knew if you didn’t say something now, you’d regret it for the rest of your life.

“Kyle,” you called out, your voice trembling a little. He stopped and turned back toward you.

“Yeah?”

“Do you remember... before I left town, I wanted to tell you something?”

He grinned, but his eyes were full of curiosity. “Oh, I remember. I was so curious I couldn’t even sleep that night!” he joked, but you didn’t laugh. He must have noticed, because his smile faded just a little as he took a step toward you. “What did you want to say?”

You took a deep breath, your heart pounding in your chest. “I love you,” you blurted out, the words tumbling out before you could stop them.

You braced yourself, waiting for him to laugh or make a joke—anything to brush you off—but instead, Kyle stepped closer, cupped your face in his hands, and gently kissed your lips. It was soft and sweet, like everything about him. He kissed your forehead, and then rested his forehead against yours, his eyes closing.

“I love you,” he whispered, kissing you again, this time even more tenderly. “I’ve loved you all this time.”

His eyes were a little teary as he looked at you, and your hands reached up to touch his face. His skin was so warm, and his tears felt almost unreal against your skin, like they didn’t belong to this world.

“I’ve loved you since the first time you called my name, Kyle,” you confessed, your voice thick with emotion. Tears started to spill down your cheeks, and he gently kissed your eyes, trying to stop them from falling. He couldn’t stand to see you cry.

“I could say it all day, darling,” he said, repeating your name with so much love as he kissed you again, his lips brushing against yours, sweet and full of affection. “Most beautiful name in the world.”

“Indeed, son,” you suddenly heard your father’s voice, and you stumbled, startled. Kyle caught you in his arms before you could fall. “Aren’t you running late, lady?” your dad asked, raising an eyebrow.

“Sorry. I missed the bus.” You whined, watching your father rolling his eyes and step aside, calling you by the hand. 

“It was my fault, sir,” Kyle quickly said, his voice full of sincerity. “We were doing homework, and your daughter is amazing—smart and helpful. If you need to blame someone, blame me. I don’t mind.” He held your hand tightly, as if to reassure your father that he meant it.

“I know, son,” your father said, giving him a sharp look. “Kyle, from the baseball team, right?” He paused, his eyes lighting up with sudden recognition. “Wait, you’re that Kyle! The one who hit that home run in the final game last year?”

Kyle blinked, surprised by your father’s enthusiasm. “Yeah, that’s me,” he answered, his cheeks flushing a little. He wasn’t used to the attention, especially from someone like your dad.

Your father’s face broke into a proud smile. “I remember watching that game! You were amazing, son. I’ve been following your games for months now, and let me tell you, you’ve got real talent! That hit was one of the best I’ve ever seen. You’ve got a strong arm, too—definitely one to watch in the future. I’ve always admired how you kept cool under pressure.”

Kyle was taken aback but smiled, grateful for the compliment. "Thanks, sir. I love the game. I’ve been playing since I was a kid."

“Kid? You were practically a pro by the time you were in high school!" Your father laughed, shaking his head fondly. "I swear, the whole neighborhood was talking about that play for weeks.”

Kyle chuckled nervously, shifting his weight from one foot to the other. "Well, sir, I do try my best."

“I know you do. And I know you’re the type who’ll take care of things, especially when it comes to my daughter,” your father said with a serious look, though his tone softened. “But now, she needs her sleep. Okay?”

You couldn’t resist. Before your father could finish, you leapt into Kyle’s arms, laughing as he caught you effortlessly. He held you close, both of you giggling in the quiet of the night.

“Alright, sir. G’night,” Kyle said, his voice soft and full of affection. He kissed your forehead tenderly, still grinning at you as you pulled away and headed toward the house.

“Hey, big boy,” your father whispered with a knowing smile.

“Yes, sir?” Kyle asked, turning back toward him.

“Take care of her, okay? That girl sure likes to put her life in danger walking alone at night,” your father joked, his tone light but full of warmth. “And hey, you better keep up with your game, alright? I’ll be watching.”

“I’ll do it, sir,” Kyle said, shaking your father’s hand firmly. “And I’ll keep working on my game too.”

As Kyle made his way back home, his heart was still racing with the conversation. The excitement of your dad’s praise mixed with the warmth of holding you in his arms. That night felt like a dream—perfect in every way.

Once home, he quickly changed into his sleep clothes, still smiling to himself. He lay down in bed, scrolling through a series of ridiculous texts from his frat friends, but his thoughts kept drifting back to you—the way you looked, the way you laughed, and the way he felt when he was with you.

Jake: Yo, big man! How’d the homework session go w the girl? Kyle: It was fine, man just homework and stuff. Jake: Homework and stuff? Bruh that sounds like a code for a bang to me. u took her out, right? Kyle: Dude, it was not a date. We just missed the bus, so I walked her home end of the story. Josh.: Okay now drop the picssss Mike: Hold up... u telling me u 2 were alone together and DIDNT make out? not a single kiss? Kyle: We didn’t go anywhere. We were just talking and stuff. Like, normal people do. Tom: Normal? u were alone with a GIRL and didn’t even kissed? Bruh, u def went on a date. I'’M CALLING IT Jake: Yeah, bro. I can already see it: “Kyle Spencer, the master of subtlety.” Kyle: You guys are RIDICULOUS. It was not a date. I promise.

There was never a first date, u guys are insaneeeee Tom: 100%. I can see it now: “Kyle and the Girl Who Missed the Bus”—coming soon to theaters. Kyle: U guys r the worst Tom: Don’t worry, bro, we’re all rooting for u. AND if u don’t end up together, at least we can call it a “Missed Connection” on Craigslist or something. Josh: Yeah, “guy helps girl off bus, sparks fly, she definitely wants his number.” Kyle: I’m logging off. This is getting out of hand -_- Jake: We’ll keep the popcorn warm for the premiere. U WELCOME. Kyle: I’m out. See u morons tomorrow.

He chuckled. Well, they weren't wrong, he was with a girl. The prettiest girl in the world was now sending him texts before sleep, he could ignore all this bullshit of his friend and stop the world, just to talk to you again. 

You: thank u for bringing me home <3 Kyle: don't mention it it was an honor thk u for the chat You: glad i missed the bus :p Kyle: lol I could say the same, princess glad ur dad didn't kill me You: he likes u tho u play his favorite sport blackmail, kyle Kyle: hey don't say that it's a good coincidence You: a perfect one Kyle: hey u should call him to see me and my team tomorrow night u coming?

You: okayyy sleep tight, Kyle  I love u <3 Kyle: sweet dreams, my darling i luv u

[lovemyromance]

your posts are literally the elriel bible, I don't think i've disagreed with a single one.

In general, elriels agree on a lot of things which is why it's so odd to find EL/GAs fighting with themselves over "elriels say elains gonna be a warrior" and "elriels say elain's gonna save illyria" because I have never EVER seen a single elriel say such a thing. I saw a long post from some elucien about how elriels self-insert and then they listed a long list of things about what canon elain is - except i don't think elriels would even disagree with what they were saying?

It got kind of muddy when they started trying to claim that "canonically azriel only lusts after elain" but whatever - you get the point. Why are they putting words in our mouths?

Thank you :) I know I always excessively post about elriel (because I'm pretty sure I have the attention span of a squirrel), but some days these petty arguments really make my eye twitch.

Idk why antis seem to think Elriels want Elain to be some warrior, savior of Illyria, High Queen type character. I thought we've all been pretty vocal in wanting to keep her femininity and her kindness and finding strength in her compassion.

If it's because the fanarts....well I think we've all established that nobody is really claiming fanarts to be canon. I think that goes without saying when we have fanart of an Elriel family with Illyrian offspring - or when Eluciens have fanart of Elain looking happy around Lucien lmao. Both are not canon. Who cares - it's fanart? It's not like we really going to pretend that all their fanart is canon either?

Because canonically - Elain can't stand Lucien. Canonically, Azriel has literally never touched Gwyn.

There are basic traits to these characters that nobody can deny. But the antis always have a way of adding additional, personal bias into things. They say Elain's not a warrior - cool, that's true, that's canon – but then they take it a step too far and try to claim its canon that she abhors all violence and she would never touch a dagger and she would hate Azriel because he's a warrior.

Canonically, Elain killed the fucking King of Hybern. She might not crave violence (oh- also what an odd thing to claim - that ANY character loves violence, btw), but she has already proven to be violent when needed.

Canonically, Elain does use a dagger. Not just any dagger - Truthteller.

Nobody's saying she out here training as a Valkyrie at the HOW - but she's not just sitting here in frolicking in a meadow while the rest of her friends and family go to war. She was literally taken AWAY from the main battle in ACOWAR and she still showed back up to pull the most badass move in the books, saving everyone.

Idk what about that is so hard to understand. No Elriel has said she's gonna save Illyria (lol), no one has claimed she's going to be Enalius the Second, nobody is out here waiting for her to take part in the BR and also become a Carthyian.

Elriels like Elain as she is. And even though she's not a warrior, even though she doesn't enjoy violence, even though she isn't a Cartyhian – Azriel still adores her. Azriel still wants her enough to question his religion. That's literally in the books. I can give you the exact page number and quote. I don't need to do any "extra analysis"

You want to talk about canon? Let's talk about how Elain is so perfect that she has even the most brooding warrior falling for her. Let's talk about how Azriel was willing to fight in a blood duel for her. Let's talk about how she was so ready to have a tryst with the Spymaster under everyone's watchful eyes.

We don't need to change anything about Elain, certainly not to have her end up with Azriel. Elriel having feelings for each other is already canon. Elriels did not have to change a single thing about them for them to find each other. That was SJM, so take it up with her.

I mean - she kind of ate when she summed up their relationship in ACOWAR with that scene in the garden...they might not make sense on paper but there's something poetic about them

[obviously-im-a-boyo]

the thing about proship/antiship discourse is its VERY new. im only 18, right? i remember being in the lego ninjago fandom as a kid, and the biggest ship was called greenflame. this ship is between the characters kai and lloyd, both 17 i believe, but lloyd was 10 when the show started and he was aged up to 17 using a magic tea.

greenflame back in the day was probably the biggest gay ship in the fandom, and the creators acknowledged and supported it multiple times. it was only ever beat out by the 1 canon straight ship, which at the time mightve only been semi-canon/leading into being canon.

i returned to the ninjago fandom a few years ago, and suddenly greenflame is considered problematic. why? because lloyd was aged up with a magic tea, and there was a debate about whether or not his brain was aged or just his body. now, let me remind you, these are legos. these are literally animated lego ninja.

i was surprised because of how big greenflame had been in my childhood. it was one of my first ships ever, and really helped me get into gay communities at a time where i was finding out i was queer. now its being shunned and called problematic, and people who read greenflame fics or make art of them together are... called pedophiles?? people drawing canonically same aged legos kissing. are being called pedophiles.

and this didnt just happen to the ninjago fandom. i watched in real time as harry potter went the same way. when i was younger, ships like snamione (snape x hermione) were huge for some reason alongside your typical drarry and all that. i, and a lot of other people, didnt like these ships. but back then, harassment wasnt even in the question. back then, i blocked people or chose not to look up snamione stuff. when i saw a ship i hated, i ignored it.

and people used to generally have that "dont like, dont read" mindset. when i was maybe 12 or 13 i wrote a fred weasley x george weasley fanfic and posted it to wattpad, and it got very minimal hate comments and a good bit of praise. i even showed it to a family member who thought it was cool, if a little weird. but now? if i were to post something like that? it would be attacked, i could be harassed, potentially doxxed or accused of being a terrible person in real life.

its not a case of people's shipping preferences changing, really. its a case of people's morals changing, airing towards purity culture and allowing harassment when you see find art you dont like. what used to be a culture of "live and let live" now is a culture of "if you dont engage in this fiction in what i deem as the morally perfect way, you will be shunned from the fandom and your real life reputation is 100% at risk." which IS NOT OKAY.

and yes, its very much because of the pandemic causing normies to enter fandom in major ways for the first time. i watched IN REAL TIME through the DSMP fandom as normal everyday people got super involved in a fandom, started using fandom sites like ao3, and changed the culture. they started making rules and trying to push their preferences onto other people's fanfic and fanart, and thus the proship community was born as a reaction to that unprecedented hate.

ive always liked to write about darker subjects, but ive never felt like my safety was in danger for it, until 2021 when i wrote a few romantic age gap fanfics about some youtubers and somebody in my real life found out. he was part of this moral purity crowd, and he spread rumours to my entire school that i was a pedophile for the fanfics i was writing. mind you, i was 15, and the characters were both older than me.

my fandom journey as a writer is a perfect exanple of how fandom culture has been fucked up by normies getting too close. when i was a kid, i wrote greenflame fic and had close friends i still talk to today who loved my work. when i was a bit older in the harry potter fandom, i wrote a twincest fic that overall was well recieved and wasnt used to try and judge my moral character. a few years ago as a teenager, i wrote some age gap fluff and GOT ACCUSED OF BEING A PEDO IN REAL LIFE because of my fanfictions. that is a crazy switch.

this whole post is a ramble/rant but i think i got my point across.

[ehh-is-the-name]

these are just concepts n I might mess with em more later, but All i'm saying is, if we're all gonna be drawing Liam/Bryce with the scars from the lightning post-death, then I better start seeing some headless Airys around here more often .this is a threat

[finniestoncrane]

🔪,🏜,🦋 and 🎨 for the Truth or Dare ask game 🤭💚

🔪 ⇢ what's the weirdest topic you researched for a writing project?

ok continuing from the last research topic i got weir about: i also once tried to rewrite macbeth for a class and set it in the deep south of louisiana in the 19th century, and so for the witches i really wanted them to be voodoo priestesses, and i did a lot of research on cajun stuff and voodoo and it was all fascinating but i forgot to write anything because i got stuck on looking things up and became distracted lmao

🏜️ ⇢ what's your favourite type of comment to receive on your work?

not to be pathetically needy but any? lmao although i do particularly like when people are really open!! i think one of the times my heart felt the fullest was when someone reblogged and said they'd just jerked off to my fic which made me feel like that was my purpose in life lol

🦋 ⇢ share something that has been on your heart and mind lately 

i've been worrying a lot lately about my ability to form bonds with people and my ability to be a good friend. i always wish i could express to people how much they mean to me, it's somethign that always bothered me. when i was in my last year of school a friend died really tragically, and i never really let him be my friend because i thought he was too cool for me and didn't want to embarrass him although looking back i can see he genuinely enjoyed the connection we had. and i'm always disappointed that i still let that feeling hold me back, because you never know when someone will be gone, especially with all my beloved internet connections!! they could just delete one day and never know how i truly felt about them!! but i'm going to work on it!!

🎨 ⇢ link your favourite piece of fanart and explain why you like it

i have waaaaaaay too many, but tbh a lot of them are gifts i've received from people (and a lot of them are yours 💚💚💚) of eddie and those are in a folder and un-linkkable!! so a linked one, i'm going to pick one of the first dano!riddler fanarts i ever saw, and i think of it often because it let me to "don't let's start" by tmbg!!

[galactic-rhea]

possibly the most obvious ship i could send for the ask meme but anidala/vaderdala!

ohohoh of course, them!!!!

when I started shipping it if I did:

Probably since I started watching TCW and saw some fanarts! Which I know it's a bit odd because most people apparently dislike them in TCW (and yeah, when I finally watched the movies I get why!), but that very first iteration of them in i think, the second episode of TCW with them kissing in an enemy ship, with Obi-Wan a few metres away, and all because she randomly ran into danger, was very, very fun to me, so I shipped them in a "they're dorks" way.

Then a saw all the epic tragedy romance stuff and, yeah, i'm sold.

my thoughts:

I think I have said it before, but there's something very "bigger than life" about their romance, which is what kept me hooked beyond "is just funny". They're extremelly passionate people, with the height of the world on their shoulders, and with sides of them that no one but the other knew about each other. Particularly with Padmé becuase she's very cold and compossed most of the time (it's her politician facade!). Anakin overall is just very painfully obvious and easy to read, but he still kept many things from the world, and Padmé knew most of that iceberg, so to speak, and they still loved each other madly despite the ugly side.

What makes me happy about them:

They're just,,,very romantic and silly! When they're actually together and in a situation where they're allowed to relax, they're just very dumb and in love 😆 I think what it makes me so happy about them is that you could tell how happy they were with each other, despite being so miserable most of the time, they just loved each other so much and that's nice.

What makes me sad about them:

This doesn't need answer, lmao 😭😂 But yeah, the,,,tragedy and damnation, Anakin turning on her despite doing all of that for her on the first place hurts so much

things done in fanfic that annoys me:

I'll be honest, I haven't read that many fics that focus anidala? At least no yet, it's been less than a year since a got into this. But I guess it could be that,,,many times they're tagged and then in the fic it's barely mentioned, like sometimes it will be just Anakin randomly thinkin "ah yes, padmé" lol

Another thing could be that,,,ehhh Padmé rendered to just girlboss/dominatrix/ the one that just gives Anakin a glare to keep him on check as if he's a manchild. And the diametrically opposite of this which is just sad, crying, poor wife in a domestic abusive situation and Anakin being the epitiome of Evil Bad Boy Sexy Cool Kidnapper

things I look for in fanfic:

Honestly i just want them being fairly in-character, I feel like they're very easily misinterpreted. But again, everyone has a different opinon on them, I guess, so -shrugs- Probably more situations in which Anakin is the one kidnapped/wounded/in danger and Padmé has to do something about it, so hurt/comfort!

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other:

Ah....-scratches head- They're so obssesed with each other that it's hard for me to think about that. Like, sometimes I fancy for the giggles and jokes some other ships for them in like a passing crush way, like Anakin and Rex, or Padmé and Breha, but, their narratives are so damn tangled into each other's that it's hard to, but that's just me.

My happily ever after for them:

Anakin leaves the order, Padmé steps away from politics and run away to Naboo to raise their twins, like they always wanted 🥺

Alternatively, I like to believe their ghosts are very happilly looking over Luke and Leia,,,,,,,and also haunting and scaring some random privileged senators passing awful bills in Coruscant. They love writing messages on mirrors with red lipstick

who is the big spoon/little spoon:

I think Padmé likes to be the big spoon just to more easily bite and headbutt him. But they switch, i suppose, because I'm sure Anakin sometimes just really really wants to hpld her.

what is their favorite non-sexual activity:

Domestic: Just talking, the most boring and mundane stuff, but they just like talking.

Not so domestic: These two are wild souls, they probably enjoy randomly rushing to help some planet/cause/random battle, whatever. In an ideal scenario, this usually means rushing into the ship to go and bail their children out of jail, organize a heist, or a little slave liberation. While holding hands.

ART TAG

thanks to @doshiart for tagging me! so excited <3

How did you start drawing? What year was it that you become more seriously and consciously interested in it?

i don’t really remember, but for some reason drawing was an activity that interested me the most?? i’m not counting playing with toys and imagining things, but it’s about creating something from scratch. one time i made paper dolls, wrote a short scenario (very poorly lol) and kinda made a theatrical play in my head with all of this??

spoiler: in 2021 i’ve made an actual play with my best friend, who’s also an artist, with great paper dolls and a great scenario! it was for a college exam, we got the highest score. :3

i started taking it all seriously in 2014, when i went to my first art school. it was small, literally one room, and there were lots of other classes in the same building, like singing, dancing (i did that too at some point), etc. then i moved to the bigger one, that was solely for arts, but i didn’t make it past the first year due to health reasons. so somewhere in the mid-10s.

When you felt the urge to share your art with other people? When did you start posting your drawings on social media?

when i saw other people around me doing it. it was 2014 when i first shared my art online (got a lot of hate because it looked bad lol), and then it was 2016 when i made my first tumblr acc and posted some anime art with some consistency. now i post here and on another platform, just duplicating the content lol

Your first/earliest drawing. What were your impressions of it back then and what are your feelings now?

Any advice you'd give to your earlier self?

Trolls- headcanon, Creek and Branch are Cousins and Rosiepuff was both their grandmother...

okay. This randomly came to me, and I have to write this down. On mobile sorry for issues.

So, I was scrolling through Tumblr and saw fanart of acdepressed creek, and I though, "hey he kind of looks like Floyd's old concept design". Don't look up that design it's horrifying, but originally Floyd was supposed to look like Grandma Rosiepuff. Then things started to spiral. F9r two characters who seemingly have nothing to do with each other, Rosiepuff and Creek look awfully similar to one another. Same skin tone, and they both have minty green in their hair. In fact one could argue that Creek resembles her more then her own canon grandchildren. BROZONE all have cool colors and John, Clay, spruce, and branch all have blur eyes like her, while Floyd has a smaller similar nose shape. But that's the extent of it.

What if Rosiepuff had two surviving children, instead of the one who had brozone? And Creek was born of that second child.

I don't know what other people think but alot of the jab Creek makes towards Branch feel very personal. Sure pre trolls one Branch was not liked by the community, but Creek despises Branch personally. He tells Poppy that Branch doesn't want to be happy. Confronts Branch head on while the others passively complain. He even calls out the vest and that is a deep cut to Branch as we all know...but how would Creek know? Unless they share more of history then we think.

There are number of ways that's this could've played out, be it Creek's parent having a falling out with Rosiepuff before he's born, or maybe they didn't want anything to do with the band, but the two sides of the family clearly don't talk. Evident by Rosiepuff raising Branch alone, and never once is an aunt/uncle mentioned. However it wouldn't be too hard to believe that Creek knows about Rosiepuff, her death, and blames Branch for it. Heck he could've been taught that by his parent, The possible child of Rosiepuff's. And now in turn hates Branch.

This could even be supported by the amount of similar traits Creek has with Brozone. For starters, both Creek and at least two of the brothers (branch and clay) are planners. Branch and clay are prepping for the worst, but Creek is always planning how to control situations he finds himself in. Their uses are different, and as are the strategies, but the principle still stands. Creek also has a high emotional intelligence, like Floyd. He'd have to in order to manipulate people the way he does. A level head under pressure could also be a shared trait, Creek only really panics when he's in immediate danger, being eaten or when he and chef were one fire, otherwise he's very collected. He's the one telling everyone in the bird cage to remain calm after all.

But if they are related the why didn't JD or any of the others ask about him when Brozone reunited? Well, simply they didn't know about him. Creek is either the same age or younger then Branch, and if the two sides of the family weren't on speaking terms in the first place then its a slim chance they would be told about a baby cousin. And I have a hard time seeing Creeks family taking Branch in afte the accident and he went grey. So if branch knows about their relation, he's probably so detached that he doesn't consider them family. Not to mention the whole betrayl thing...

So thought? Was my brain on to something? Or is this just rambling.

Hey I love your work so much you brought back my love for sea creatures and stumbled across this beautiful creature.

The phantom jellyfish the most rarest jellyfish

Look at this beautiful jellyfish.

I ever found this beautiful fanart of a human phantom jellyfish I could not find the artist but its beautiful.

woa!!! I’ve never heard of this jelly before but it looks so pretty!!! Has a gothic-like or somewhat deadly kind of vibe. Oooooo! I'm going to do the ocatrio with malleus for this one since you didn't specify. Hope that's alright! These jellys are so cool cause they dont have stingers! their arms are used to just scoop up plankton and carry that to the mouth.

Description

A beautiful creature of the deep, rare, and rather secluded but you always found comfort in the pressure and darkness around you as you drifted through the void. Scavenging what you could from the waters with your long ribbon-like arms. You don't have the ability to sting, but your ribbons can be used to strangle and disorient predators. Especially since your dark skin matches the darkness of home. You have dark skin with a dark brown/orange undertone. Your body and arms make you up to 30 ft long! Your arms are 25 of those feet.

When you were called to the surface and NRC you struggled greatly with the harsh light. Your human form is only 6 ft tall with long, dark, ribbon-like hair and longer-than-average arms. you are able to manipulate your hair but you keep that more of a secret. you are fairly secluded and try to avoid crowds as much as physically possible. You have dark skin and your eyes are a startling orange color. You usually wear dark sunglasses so no one can really see your eyes unless the sun has set or it's fairly dark in the room.

Octavinelle

Azul: Knows your a mer, he likes keeping tabs on all the merfolk on campus. Your strange ribbon-like hair was what really caught his attention and he asked blackmailed you about it. Found out the hard way what it can do. He underestimated you since you seemed rather... soft-mannered. The twins wouldn't let him live it down for like a week. You do visit the lounge since it reminded you of the few times you floated closer to the twilight zone from your midnight home. the lower lighting was also the only lighting you could handle ok without your glasses so you visited and studied there quite often. He appreciates your patronage and somehow your calm demeanor and strength draw him to you. He liked being around you since your calm aura helps calm him. After long enough you are invited to sit in his VIP room where he turns all the lights off other than the aquarium or a controlled light over his desk and only his desk. You greatly appreciate it. He does try many times to have you work for him, your hair acts like his many arms back in the sea! imagine how efficient you would be! but he does understand how you wouldn't be able to work in the light.

When he first saw you merform in the magic pressure pool he was amazed at how LONG you were! He thought you were like the twin's size not double their length and then some! loves how silky your arms are and how you don't sting but he can feel the strength in those arms and remembers to not underestimate you. If you invite him to swim with you he will try to stammer out a smooth response. Maybe someday. Does with to have you do some sort of sink dancing thing, you would do amazing with it! the way your arms are already like silk makes him dream. if you ever are close and you wrap your soft arms around him he will immediately melt and even have some tears build up in his eyes. Your hugs are understanding and kind and calm.

Jade: Your hair is what really caught his attention. The way it seemed to squirm along with you when he asked many uncomfortable questions. Knew you were a mer from Azul and was trying to figure out what exactly you were, you didn't cover up like other jellyfish mers yet you had that calmness they are known for. Probably figured it out when he overheard you tell someone else what you were. Such a rare specimen had Jade all the more intrigued. Asked even more questions and even subtly hinted he knew what you were, he got hair slapped when he gave you a dark jello treat he created and mentioned wanting to test if its taste was accurate. Super surprised that your hair actually had that kind of force, he knew it could move but you made him take a full step back to catch himself. Impressive~ also likes to try and see your eyes but is more respectful than Floyd, usually lowers the lights in your area of the lounge with some magic, just to see those beautiful glowing orange orbs.

When he first saw your mer form he was very curious about your long arms. Asking politely to hold one since he knew he couldn't reach you in the pressure pool without risking bodily harm. He compliments the texture and strength of the silky ribbons. Happily offering a job at the mostro louge for a once-a-week show from the depths. You kindly turned him down, saying you like to be more in the shadows than the star. He nods at this. you both connect by watching things from a distance. Asks many questions still but won't hint at trying to eat you after he saw Floyd get strangled for biting you.

Floyd: Squishy!! He likes squeezing you, You're so soft and easy to squeeze, but you don't wiggle as much! He calls you black jellyfish. He likes to mess with your hair. it looks so cool! one time it slapped him when he tried to bite it and he loved it even more! Pokes and prods at it to annoy you. Thought you were boring but another time stole your sunglasses and really liked your eyes! He's never seen glowing orange eyes before! so now this man pokes at your hair and tries to blind you a lot. You try to stay away from him but that's fairly difficult to do. Over time he clams a bit around you, especially when he really pissed you off and you strangled him to near passing out. Likes to see you try new foods, and your faces of delight are so cute! he also pesters you with a lot of questions. he changes his nickname for you when you correct him. "phantom jelly!" he would usually call out before you are lifted off of your feet. sometimes he will break turn off the lights to get you to show off your glowing eyes.

When he first saw your merform in the pressure pool he wanted to hop right in but just before he jumped in you cocooned him in your silky arms, telling him he's an idiot for trying to swim in the most dangerous pool, he would be crushed like a tin can even in his merform! he said you were no fun but did have to agree that a broken tail would suck more. You keep an arm and eye on him to make sure he doesn't try anything particularly stupid. He really likes your cool silky arms! keeps asking when you would want to swim with him in the dorm underwater sanctuary. He's very lucky you are very patient with his very excitable self.

With special guest

Malleus: You both connected by being out at night, when the world is still and you feel closer to home. The darkness is a welcome relief to you. You and he crossed paths on a late-night walk. No words were needed as you both continued to walk through the night, pointing out some stars or other small things of interest. You even let your hair down and he happily allowed his magic fireflies to show themselves. You were the best of mute friends understanding each other's lonely life with no words needed. He and you took a few weeks before words were spoken and it was comfortable. he enjoys the smooth texture of your hair and is always pleasantly surprised at its strength when you do use it. you admire his dark power and how his horns are so tough and strong on his head.

When he first sees your merform in a lake one night he couldn't help but be mesmerized by your long silky arms. The way they floated and swayed in the water, the gentle glow from just under your skin, and the softness of your body in the water. He complimented you and your form, promising to show you his true form someday when you were both ready for it. He treasures your trust and tries to help you with his magic, even creating a spell to make a bubble of darkness around you so light doesn't hurt your eyes as much. He also really likes your eyes, unnatural yet powerful, like his.
