Marinette’s worse day or Adrien’s Birthday.

Marinette was in luck! No school, no “friends” just her. Marinette rolls over to head back to sleep.

“Marinette!” A squeaky voice called out. Marinette opens one of her eyes just barely to see Tikki in her face. “You need to get up! Today’s Adrien’s birthday remember.” Marinette forces her body up. She reaches for her phone.

1 new notification! From Alya.

Marinette thinks for a moment. Sighing Marinette opens her phone.

“Hey girl! I know you and Lila have some love rivalness for Adrien but it his BIRTHDAY! Take your shot! X3. Love ya!”

“Love rivalness?” Marinette would laugh if she didn’t want to cry. Throwing her self back on the bed she coughs. Marinette learned awhile ago to not cry in front of Tikki.

“What are you giving Adrien?” Speaking of Tikki.

“I don’t know.” Marinette gets up. She thinks back to when she would be so crazy about today. But she’s numb. Sighing this must be what its like to fall out of love. She walks down to computer. Her room feels empty. Bare walls from when she tore all of Adrien’s photos down in a bad panic attack.

“What do you mean you don’t know?! You should be so happy! What about all those gifts you had made for him?” Right the gifts that caused Chris to lose it and be akumatized. Marinette hadn’t told Tikki that those gift were all thrown out to.

“There gone. I got rid of them. They were creepy.” Marinette tuned out Tikki. She looks at her half made gifts. Sitting in the middle was a unfinished white and blue scarf. It was almost October. Grabbing it Marinette decided that she would finish it and give it to Adrien.

The next few minutes Marinette gathers the materials. It takes her almost two hours to finish. A quiet voice says ‘Should have only taken 30 minutes. Slacker.’ Marinette grabs to scarf half tempted to throw it out and starts again. As soon as the thought enters her head all of Marinette’s energy is drained.

“Oh Marinette it looks beautiful!”

“Thank you Tikki.” Marinette goes to find a box or bag to put it in. She finds a small black box with a green ribbon tied to it. The contrast should look nice. Wrapping up the scarf. Marinette checks her phone again.

3 new notification! One from Ayla. Two from Nino.

Shit. Marinette didn’t take her phone off of silence. Marinette opened Alya’s first.

“Girl where are you!” At home? Where else would she be.

Opening Nino’s next, “Mari, where are you?” “Marinette. Please tell me that you know about Adrien’s birthday party?!”

Marinette could feel Nino’s desperation. Marinette typed no and deleted it over a dozen times. Tears filling her eyes. Marinette sends a simple no she didn’t. Closing her eyes she sighed.

“Tikki spots on.” Before Tikki could say anything Marinette transforms.

Ladybug crawls out of Marinette’s room onto her roof. The plan was simple drop the gift off and head back home to sleep this day away.

The trip was short. Ladybug sits on one of the roofs near the Agreste Mansion. Ladybug could see the class through the window. Everyone looks so happy. Well expect Nino, he pacing in a different room on his phone. Ladybug can only assume that he’s trying to call Marinette. She looked around. Ladybug could see that the gifts are in Adrien’s room. She swings over.

Ladybug hops in. She thinks about detransforming. But Marinette wasn’t suppose to be here. She wasn’t suppose to be here. Ladybug walks over to the stacks of gifts. She puts her near the bottom. Ladybug hears footsteps and panics. She runs and hides in a closet.

“Stupid fucking Adrien.” A voice walks in. “Oh look at me. I live in a mansion with my dad and have all the friends I could ever WANT.” *CRASH* Ladybug flinches. Whoever this was is angry. Ladybug was to be out of here. “What do I have! Nothing! He COULDN’T even bother to show up to my dad’s funeral! His mom died when we were six. MY DAD DIED 3 MONTHS AGO.” *SLAMS* The voice is gone.

Ladybug doesn’t hesitate to get out of there. Running to the window she jumps. Swinging away.

Ladybug sits at the Eiffel tower. Who was that? Why were they so angry at Adrien. Why didn’t Adrien go to this person’s dads funeral?

A portal opens under Ladybug.

“Hello Ladybug.” A unknown voice says. “I hope I wasn’t interrupting anything.”

Ladybug turns to the voice ready to fight. Standing in front of her was a women? Her body seems to stay out of focus.

“No need to fight. We haven’t met yet… We will soon tho. You can call me the Hare. I am the bunny Miraculous user.”

“What happened to BunnyX!” The woman seems to float around the darken void.

“I’m not sure how BunnyX described time to you. But the future is not set in stone and neither was she. In one timeline BunnyX will exist. This is not that time.” The wom- The Hare taps her umbrella on the ground and the void seems to come to life. The room is white and vines grows up. Each branch goes to a different glowing hole.

“Woah.” Ladybug was amazed.

“This is my Burrow,” Hare spins with her arm out. “Each of these portals lead to a different future. Which is why I brought you here.” Hare stops.

“Is something wrong with the future!” Ladybug panics.

The Hare lets out a hardy laugh, “No not our future. Our future is still growing fast,” The hare gesture to the main root that is growing out of the dead center. “No this is a future that has already pasted. On that came and went during BunnyX time.” Hare walks over to Ladybug and taps the ground sending The both of them up. The ground comes to a slamming halt. Ladybug’s stomach entered her throat.

“Ladybug look.” The Hare hand touches the portal. The portal was dark. Ladybug felt dread creep into her body. A paralyzing fear. She grabs one of Hare’s arm for support. Hare taps the ground twice to move them away from the portal. “I’m sorry. I forgot how being near a dead portal feels.”

“Dead- Dead portal.”

“A portal where you other self is gone. The only living person in this future is Chat Noir… Or as he now goes by Chat Blanc. Can I tell you this future’s story?” Ladybug could only give a sad nod.

“I can’t tell you everything as that would reveal Chat, and HawkMoth’s identities to you. You and Chat did end up dating. It was going well you two are happy… Both in and out of civilian form. Yes, when you two started dating you revealed your identities to each other. But the world decided that neither of you should be happy. People drove you two apart, each of you were hurt. But still you tried to make it work. You two found HawkMoth and when fighting him, things happened and Chat was put into intense emotional distress. HawkMoth thought he could take advantage of it. Akumatizing Chat. But Chat didn’t want to hurt anyone, and end up destroying the moon. Somehow stopping the earth’s rotation and flooding Paris… Flooding the whole world. Killing everyone, but him. He’s been alone ever since.”

Ladybug was sobbing. Her chest hurts, her head hurts, everything hurts. Ladybug crumbles onto the floor. Hare just holds her.

“I ask you to help me put him at rest. It has been several years for him.”

“Will it bring everyone back?!”

“The Ladybug miraculous alone can not bring the dead back. I’m sorry.” Ladybug can only sob harder.

“I’ll help you. I’ll help Chat!” Ladybug looks Hare in the eyes.

“Understood. Let a few things be known. Chat’s mental health has deteriorated. Try to not get into a fight with him, he will win. I can not bring you back if you… pass” Ladybug understood. No fighting, no dying.

“Anything else?”

“He will know you name. Please don’t let that distract you.” Ladybug nodded. Hare made the floor move back to the portal. Holding her umbrella to the portal, drawing a circle, the portal opens wide. “Good luck Ladybug.”

When Ladybug walks through the portal, she’s freezing eminently. Looking around she seems to be on top of the Eiffel Tower, right where Hare had taken her from. Ladybug can see her breath. Walking to the edge,she only sees inky black water staring back at her. Using the tower as a ruler Ladybug can figure out that at least 3/4 of the tower is in water. About 850 ft above sea level.

“Oh kitty.” Ladybug whispers. Ladybug can see cars frozen to the top of the water. “I wish I had the ice or water power up on me.” Ladybug jumps down to one of the ice sheets.

Pulling out her Yo-Yo, maybe she can pick up Chat’s signal.

Searching… Searching… Searching… BEEP!

Location found. Agreste Mansion, 738 ft in the air.

Agreste Mansion? Why would Chat be there? Ladybug puts the Yo-yo away and begins her slow trip to the mansion. Walking and jumping from ice sheet to abandoned car. *CRASH*

“Ow…” Ladybug lays on her back. Her whole body aches. Pulling her self up. “My god.” Her legs are semi frozen. “Hare! Can you hear me! Whats happening!”

A voice seems to enter her head. “I’m not sure. Please hurry up, I think that you other self and you are trying to fuse.” Before Ladybug can ask anything else the voice is gone again. Fuse? She was dead here… Dear god she going to die!

Ladybug tries to stand up, it takes a minute but she manages. Slamming her legs on the ground, she able to get some of the ice off. She breaks into a sprint. No time for sight seeing!

Coming up to the mansion Ladybug can see a whole glacier where the mansion should be. Swallowing hard, Ladybug jumps onto the glacier.

“Huh?” The ice isn’t cold? Ladybug feels a warmth take over her body. The contrast is startling. Ladybug starts the climb to the top.

“But when I awoke, dear, I was mistaken…”

A song? Ladybug could faintly hear a voice singing. That has to be Chat.

“I’ll always love you and make you happy…”

Ladybug climbs faster. The closer to the top she gets a pain seems to grow in her heart.

“You told me once, dear, you really loved me. And no one else could come between…”

She was trying, trying so hard to not start crying. The pain was unbearable. Chat what has happened to you.

“In all my dreams, dear, you seem to leave me. When I awake my poor heart pains. So when you come back and make me happy. I'll forgive you dear, I'll take all the blame” Reaching the top, Ladybug can see a man. He sitting looking at the broken moon. When Ladybug takes a step forward the ice cracks.

“You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray. You'll never know dear, how much I love you. Please don't take my sunshine away” The man is standing looking directly at Ladybug. Chat is older, his hair is wild and almost white? His suit instead of the iconic black and green is white and blue. But what makes Ladybug feel sick is… He’s covered in scars.

“My love! Have you come to see me again?” Chat voice is deeper and scratchy. His eye is wide but unfocused. “Love why do you look different?”

“Kitty…” Ladybug lets slip.

“Kitty? No. No. NOnononononononono! I’M YOUR PRINCE! REMEMBER!” He grabs at his hair. Hands starting to glow blue. Ladybug has just a moment to react before a blue explosion is thrown at her.

“Chat! PLEASE I’M REAL!” Ladybug yells as she lands.

“REAL! NOTHING IS REAL! YOU’RE JUST HERE TO MOCK ME!” Another explosion. Ladybug is just running around him. No wonder Hare told her not to fight him. ‘Think Ladybug, THINK!’

A loud explosion caught Ladybug off guard. The ice under started to splinter. Ladybug can’t get traction, her feet keeps slipping. Panicking she grabs her Yo-Yo, she throws it at Chat hoping to grab him. Then she falls.

Chat stops moving. The world goes still. Slowly Chat grabs the Yo-Yo. His eyes follows the string, across the ice, and over the edge. He rushes towards the edge.

“You’re… you’re real?” His voice is quiet, small. He almost sounds like a small child.

“Yes. Yes, I’m real Chat. I was brought here to help you. Please.” Ladybug was hanging of dear life. Chat begins pulling her up. Ladybug grabs his arm and pulls herself onto the flat ice. They both stand still for a moment.

Chat is towering over her. His hand cups her cheek. *THUD* Chat fall to his knees. He’s sobbing. “Alive, your alive… your alive, alive…”

“Chat where is the akuma?”

“-ell.” The answer was so quiet Ladybug couldn’t make it out. Her hand touches Chats shoulder. Looking up, Ladybug can see one of Chat’s eyes was scratched out. She pulls Chat into a hug. Letting her self cry with him.

After a few minutes she pulls away. She gently takes the bell from Chat’s chest. The bell is freezing in her hand.

“Chat could you please…”

“Of course, my lady.” Chat puts his hand over bell still in Ladybug’s hand, “cataclysm”

Instead of the bell normally dissolving, the bell froze over and shattered.

“Miraculous Ladybug.” Ladybug take to butterfly into her Yo-Yo and heal it. The wave of butterflies go out. Looking around… The world is still flooded, frozen, dead. Ladybug is grabbed from behind. Chat is holding her again.

“Please don’t leave me. I can’t be alone again.” Chat sobs, “Please Marinette. Please.”

Ladybug just puts her hand over Chat’s. “I’m sorry Chat. I’m not from this time. I can’t stay here. I…I won’t survive.” Chat grip tightens. He lets go, hands on Ladybug shoulder keeping her from turning. “Chat?”

“I don’t want you to see. I-I’m broken, ugly… I’m sorry… I love you.” His voice is soft and sad. In front of them a glowing portal appears.

“Ladybug it’s time.” Ladybug recognized the voice as Hare. A hand reaches out and touches Ladybug’s head.

Waking up Ladybug was on top of the Eiffel tower. Rubbing her eyes, she stretches. What happened? Last thing she remembers is dropping of Adrien’s gift and that person yelling.

“HELLO! My lady!”

Ladybug turns to see Chat landing on the tower. Her heart pains for a moment. “Hello Chat, what are you doing out and about?”

“Today is my birthday! Why wouldn’t I want to spend it with you?” Chat smiles.

“You should have told me yesterday, I could have gotten you something.” Ladybug stands up.

Chat seems to pause… “I’m not a big fan of my birthday, to be honest.” His voice is quiet. Ladybug just nods.

“Why don’t we go on patrol then?”

“Great idea! Lady’s first.” Chat half bows. Snorting, Ladybug takes a running start and jumps.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!

“Huh? Chat your baton is beeping.”

AKUMA IN THE AREA! AKUMA IN THE AREA!

LOCATION AGRESTE MANSION.

Ladybug pulls out her Yo-Yo. Opening the akuma tracker. “My god, there’s almost half a dozen akumas! What happened!” Ladybug looks over at Chat in worry. Chat eyes seem wide.

“I have an idea. I passed by the Agreste Mansion and there seemed to be some kind of party being broken up. A lot of people seemed very angry.” Chat eyes are cast down.

“I passed by there earlier and everything seemed just fine.” Ladybug muttered. Chat didn’t respond. “Well HawkMoth been busy, lets get a move one!” Ladybug starts to head south towards Agreste Mansion.

Landing near the mansion, Chat and Ladybug can see that some of their classmates have been akumatized. Ladybug pulls out her Yo-Yo. Seems due to the shear number of akumas that they are much weaker then there solo counter parts.

“Luckily HawkMoth can’t empower over a few akumas to their fullest.” Ladybug smiles.

“Whats the plan?” Chat asks. Ladybug looks at the crowd. Currently all they can see are Lady Wifi, Reflekta, Evillustrator, Bubbler, and Princess Fragrance.

“Seems that there’s no huge akuma. We need to take out Lady Wifi and Evillustrator first. We might be able to use Bubbler to keep Princess at bay. Avoid Reflekta-” Ladybug is caught off buy a load explosion. Briefly Ladybug vision flickers to a flooded world. Blinking the world is back but a huge hole is where Adrien’s room used to be.

“Holy shit!” Chat yelps. “They have someone!”

“No plan grab the hostage!” Ladybug throws her Yo-Yo and throws her self towards the group of akuma.

Landing in the crowd, “I heard there was a party but this is a little to wild for me.” Chat joked.

“Leave Ladybug, we want this bastard!” Lady Wifi roars! Evillustrator has chains around this boy.

“I don’t know who he is but this is to much!” Ladybug throws her Yo-Yo at Evillustrator’s arm. Grabbing him and yanking. He face plants on the floor as Chat swings his baton at the feet of everyone. Sweeping them off their feet. Ladybug runs and grabs the boy, picking him up in a bridal carry. “Let’s go Chat.”

Ladybug and Chat runs to a more open area, “Who are you and what happened?” The boy doesn’t respond. Ladybug asks again this time in English. The boy eyes go wide.

“I can speak French just fine.” He responds with a click.

“Then answer.” Ladybug lands on the roof of Le Grand Paris.

“I’m Felix Graham de Vanily. Son of Amelie and Isaac Graham de Vanily.” Felix pushes Ladybug away. This voice… He’s the person Ladybug heard yelling. Getting a good look at Felix, he’s wearing dark clothes, and has bags under his eyes. He’s clearly still in mourning.

“Why are they after you Felix.” Chat asks… Is Chat glaring at Felix?

“How would I know! What even are those things!?” Felix pushes past Ladybug and Chat.

“You’re not from Paris are you. Those people are akumas. A villain named HawkMoth turns people in them. It seems that they think you did something.” Ladybug explains.

Felix stands stiff. He looks up towards the sky. Another vision flashes in Ladybug eyes. This time of a man alone looking towards the night sky.

Ladybug hearts sinks. As soon as it comes the world is back to normal. Ladybug walks over and puts her hand on Felix’s shoulder.

“You can trust us.”

“Today is my cousins birthday. I’m sure you’ve heard of him. Adrien Agreste. I-I… I hate him.” Felix croaks out. Ladybug could understand knowing what she knows.

“You-you hate him?” Chat speaks. Turning Ladybug can see his eyes. They look shocked.

“My dad just died!” Felix turns to face Chat and Ladybug, he almost crying. “ HE DIED 3 MONTHS AGO AND MY COUSIN COULDN’T BE BOTHERED TO SHOW UP! BUT NO I HAVE TO SHOW UP TO HIS STUPID BIRTHDAY PARTY!” Felix sobbed.

Ladybug and Chat were stunned silent. Felix cried into his arm. Ladybug went to touch him but stopped her self.

“What happened at that party Felix?”

“It was just suppose to be Adrien, his dad, me and my mom. But his dad had some work” He puts finger quotations around work,” So he left, my mom wasn’t feeling good. She gets migraines. So said she would head back to the hotel and rest and come back for dinner. It was just me and him. But then his stupid friends showed up. With gifts and food. My head started to hurt… I was so mad. I-I called his dad.” Felix admitted.

“That would do it.” Chat whispered. Before anything else could be said rockets shot at them. Blowing Felix and Ladybug off the building. Ladybug grabs Felix and lands hard.

She and Felix are surrounded by Reflekta and Princess Fragrance.

“Lucky Charm!” A hand mirror falls. With out a second notice Reflekta descend append them. Ladybug pushes Felix away, side sweeping Reflekta. Princess grabs Ladybug only for her to be body slammed to the floor by Felix. “Get out of here Felix!”

“No!” Ladybug can’t respond before Reflekta is back up. Reflekta hold her hand up to shoot a beam at Felix. Ladybug throws the mirror towards Felix, the beam bounces off the mirror and hits Princess Fragrance instead. Princess now stuck as another Reflekta can’t operate her fragrance gun.

Ladybug bum rushes Reflekta. Reflekta unable to block Ladybug attacks due to being distracted over Princess is quickly knocked out. Ladybug grabs Felix and shoots back up to the roof.

Throwing her Yo-Yo she hits Evillustrator in the back of the head. Chat is fighting Bubbler and Lady Wifi. Ladybug drops Felix off and runs towards Lady Wifi. Jumping over Lady Wifi, Ladybug raps her legs around her neck and send Lady Wifi flying forwards.

“How you been My Lady?” Chat asks avoiding one of Bubbler’s bubbles. Ladybug just grunts as she jumps on Bubbler’s back. She wraps one arm under Bubbler arm and the other around his neck. Bubbler began shooting he bubble gun wildly. Chat was about to kick Bubbler’s leg out when they heard a scream.

“Hey Bubble freak here I am!”

“Felix what are you doing!” Chat screams but in was to late Bubbler was able to shoot a bubble at Felix. Felix drops to the floor, making the bubble hit Lady Wifi instead.

Ladybug using the distraction to use her ladybug vision. Felix, Chat, Wifi phone.

“Felix! Chat! The akuma is in the phone!” Bubbler slams Ladybug into a wall. Felix grabs the phone and tosses it towards Chat. Bubbler shoots another bubble hitting Felix dead on. Chat almost misses the phone.

“Felix!”

“The phone you idiot!” Felix yells as he began to rise.

“Cataclysm!” Chat destroys the phone in his hand.

“Miraculous Ladybug!” Ladybugs spread out across the city. Nino was standing in front of Ladybug. Felix falls towards the ground as does Alya.

“Wha? Where are we?” Nino looks around.

“On top of Le Grand Paris.” Chat responds helping Felix up.

“YOU!” Alya yells. Chat puts himself in between Alya and Felix.

“ALYA! Stop!” Nino helps Ladybug off the ground.

“What he ruined Adrien’s party! Who does he think he is!”

“HE’S HIS FAMILY!” Chat yelled. “Felix is Adrien’s cousin. You all showed up announced to Adrien’s house, and you’re mad you got thrown out?!” Chat look pissed.

“Alya, Chat stop. Please understand that you can’t show up at someone’s house and just expect to be first priority. Felix, I feel as though I can’t reprimand you, but please talk to people when your hurting.” Ladybug says also putting her self between everyone.

“Chat can you help Felix back to the mansion.”

“Okay, later LB.”

“Juleka and Rose are a floor below. Please explain to them what happened. I need to leave.” Ladybug turns and jumps of the roof. She swings around Paris, till she feels safe enough to go home.

Marinette flops on her bed. Tikki starts to eat a cookie.

“Tikki?”

“Hm?”

“Who was in the right? Felix was grieving but everyone was acting entitled. My head hurts.” Marinette covers her eyes. ‘I’m sorry… I love you.’ Tears start to leak out.

“I don’t know Marinette. Sometimes both people can be wrong and both people can be in the right.” Tikki answers before going silent. What Marinette doesn’t know is that Tikki remembers. Tikki remembers the other timeline, and Hare.

Marinette showers and changes into new pajamas. Checking her phone one last time.

57 New Notifications! 40 Text messages from Nino. 16 calls missed from Nino. 1 Text message from Adrien.

Marinette opens the text from Adrien. A photo of him with the scarf, and a simple thank you.

Marinette gives a small smile. Closing her eyes Marinette drifts off to a dreamless sleep.

#Painted Lady AU #set during Marinette year of depression #Change Felix so that hes not a clone of Adrien #Change Chat Blanc so he's more depressed then yandereish #Chat Blanc is a whole ass adult #Tried my best but writing fights scenes suck #Marinette doesn't remember Chat Blanc's timeline #PL Lore #PL Canon

[ 365 Days of SasuHina || Day Two Hundred Ninety-Nine: That’s the Key ] [ Uchiha Sasuke, Hyūga Hinata, Haruno Sakura, Uzumaki Naruto ] [ SasuHina, NaruSaku ] [ Verse: Like Magic] [ AO3 Link ]

“Music...how are we supposed to do music? Anyone here able to carry a tune?” Sasuke whispers harshly as they all peer through the door on the third floor.

“Well unlike some of you, I came prepared! Jiraiya gave us a hint, and I made note of it!” Reaching into her robes, Sakura takes out a wooden flute. “It’s not much, but...I think I can get it to work. Just be very quiet, and let me do this!”

“Oh...l-look…!” Pointing, Hinata draws the quartet’s attention to something shining near the back of the room. “It’s a harp…!”

“Well that settles it - someone’s here before us!” Naruto declares. “And I’m telling you, it has to be Orochimaru…!”

“Sitting here arguing about it won’t get us in there any faster! I’ll start to play, and then you three move quietly and find the way through! Got it?”

The other three nod, and Sakura takes half a step into the room. Immediately, a great growling can be heard...but quiets as the Ravenclaw begins to play her flute. It’s...not the best, and a little off-key, but the beast beyond the door soon quiets...and then they hear snoring?

Stepping in further, she looks back and gives a guiding nod of her head, never stopping her music. Behind her, Hinata, Sasuke, and Naruto take careful steps past her, hearts pounding at the sight of the giant, three-headed dog only feet away.

Gesturing, Sasuke points to a trap door. Together, he and Naruto manage to lift it, flinching at the loud creak it gives.

But Sakura doesn’t waver, and the dog sleeps on.

“Lumos…!” Hinata whispers, holding her wand aloft.

“...see anything?”

“Um...it looks like there’s something to land on…? There’s no ladder or a-anything…”

“...I’ll go first.” Clenching his wand between his teeth, Sasuke builds his nerve for a moment before leaping, landing with a slight bounce atop...a plant? “Come on, it’s a soft landing!”

Naruto follows, Hinata not far behind. The flute music then stops, and it’s not long before Sakura gives a screech, tumbling through the trap door as the guard dog snaps teeth just above the hole.

“Well that was close…” Naruto mumbles. “C’mon, let’s -”

“AH!”

All jolting, they turn to see Sasuke entangled in vines! And around them, even more begin to wake, whipping and curling around them.

Panic.

The more they struggle, the tighter the plant grips them...until Hinata brightens. “W-wait! Everyone, stop moving! This is Devil’s Snare - struggling will only make it worse!”

“Then how do we get out?!” Naruto demands, a leafy tendril poised around his throat.

“It’s repelled by light and heat...I’ve got it!” Managing to take out her wand, Hinata murmurs a spell, and bright blue flames erupt from her wand. Immediately, the plant begins to retract, loosening its hold until the four of them manage to get free.

They all look at the flora in shock, Naruto turning to her. “...that was brilliant,” he manages to say, still catching his breath. “You’re brilliant!”

“I...I just know my p-plants…” the Hufflepuff replies shyly, head ducking at the praise.

“Well, we still don’t know what’s ahead...but there’s likely a lot more where that came from,” Sasuke cautions, wand back in hand. “We can’t let down our guards.”

The rest follow him, the corridor sloping downward. As their footsteps echo, the subtle sound of dripping water can be heard. But as they enter a new chamber, the atmosphere changes completely.

A bright room, tall of ceiling and filled with the sounds of bird wings, is filled to the brim with what indeed look like birds. The four cross to the door, finding it locked. Sakura’s attempt with Alohomora does little, the portal still locked tight.

“...wait a minute…”

Turning to the Slytherin, they find Sasuke squinting at the flapping wings above them. “What?”

“...look. Those aren’t birds...they’re keys…!” Looking to one side, Sasuke spies several brooms, one left askew as though used. “...one of them must fit the door.”

“But which one?” Naruto moans. “I mean...there’s gotta be a hundred or more - we don’t have the time!”

“Maybe it matches the door?” Sakura reasons, putting her intellect to use. “It would probably be rather large, silver...maybe old-fashioned?”

“I’ll go after it.”

“Hey, me too!” Naruto insists as Sasuke mounts a broom. “I can fly!”

“Just stay out of my way,” the Uchiha mutters in retort, kicking off and beginning to chase.

The keys, however...aren’t eager to be caught. Like a flock of starlings, they quickly form into a shifting, writhing cloud, dodging their pursuer.

As Naruto joins the fray, it only gets all the more chaotic, the keys splitting and swirling.

Sasuke, ever eagle-eyed, eventually brightens. “I see it!”

“What -?”

Wasting no time, he streaks off toward a key with a jerky motion, one wing clearly injured as it struggles to stay airborne. It must have been caught and used before…! Pulling out every stop he’s got, Sasuke dodges attacking keys and manages to snatch the one he wants.

“That’s it! That’s the key!” Hinata cries. “H-hurry!”

The boys struggle to land, Sasuke fumbling with the door before they all collapse through it. Behind them, the flock of keys suddenly lose interest, fluttering back into the chamber as the door closes with a snap.

Practically piled, the group of first years managed to disentangle, catching their breath. “...there better not be much left to this,” Naruto mumbles.

“If this philosopher’s stone is so important…I’m sure there are,” Sasuke mutters in reply. “Come on.”

A short passage leads to a large, dark room. The quartet hesitate, taking slow steps before torches blaze to life to reveal…

“...wait a minute,” Naruto muses, taking another step. “...this is a chess board…”

“What?”

“Look!”

Across from them are indeed the two standard rows of pieces atop a checkered floor: taller than themselves and carved of stone. As they make to walk across, the pawns draw their swords, blocking the path.

“...we’ve got to play chess…!” Brightening, Naruto turns around and finds the other set of pieces behind them. “...and I think we have to be the pieces…”

“You’re...you’re good at chess?” Sakura asks.

“Shikamaru’s been teaching me! I’m not...too bad at it.”

“Well...has anyone else played?”

The others all shake their heads.

“...guess we’ve got no choice,” Sasuke offers. “Come on - let’s all take pieces. Naruto, what should we be?”

“Uh...Sasuke, you take a rook. Hinata, a bishop. Sakura, you be queen, and...I’ll take a knight.”

They all take their places, the replaced pieces sinking into the floor and out of sight.

“All right...white goes first.”

Standing on their squares, they all wait nervously as the game begins. Looking over the field, Naruto’s brow furrows, thinking over his moves carefully before directing his pieces. Each side begins to feel losses...and then…

“...oh no…”

Sasuke glances back. “What? What’s wrong?”

“...okay, listen up guys. I’m going to move my piece...and I’m going to get taken down.”

“What?!” Hinata flinches.

“I have to. After that, Sakura, I need you to move to E7. That will win us the match!”

“But…?” The rosette looks to the broken pieces lose beforehand. “Naruto...you’ll…?”

“I’ll be fine! You need to get on to the next room.” Looking determined, the Gryffindor walks his path, standing directly in the sights of the enemy queen.

After a pause...she skims across the board, and Naruto cries out as he’s struck from his square.

“Naruto!”

“Don’t move!” Sasuke bellows, holding out an arm as the girls both flinch. “We have to finish this! Sakura...you heard him: make your move.”

Jaw trembling, she gives a shaking nod, walking to her designated square. “C...checkmate.”

For a long moment...nothing happens. But then, with a mighty clatter...the king’s sword falls in a signal of defeat.

At once, the remaining trio break and run to Naruto. He’s out cold.

Sakura, clearly fighting tears, murmurs, “...you two keep going.”

“But -?”

“I know some medical incantations. I’ll see if I can get him patched up. But you have to keep going...you have to protect the stone!”

Glancing to each other, Sasuke and Hinata both nod. “...we’ll come back for you,” Hinata murmurs, slowly following as Sasuke makes his way toward the next door. “Do you...think he’ll be okay?”

“He’s tougher than he looks...come on. It’s up to us, now.” Giving Hinata a glance, Sasuke studies her face for a long moment. “...whatever comes up next, don’t do anything brash, okay?”

“B...but -?”

“I’ll handle it. You’re smarter than I am...if we have any more puzzles - and I’m sure we will - we’ll need your insight. I’ll keep you safe. Okay?”

Hinata seems to hesitate at the praise. “O...okay.”

“...all right...let’s go.”

.oOo.

Some Harry Potter verse! In this case, a rather direct crossover of the near-ending of the first book! It's been quite a while since I've read it (and sadly my copies are packed away OTL), so I had to cheat and use the wiki a little to remember some finer details, but I think I recalled most of it all right! (And the books are, in my not so biased opinion, far better...so I wanted to reflect those rather than the changes made in the movie!) Rather than the all-Gryffindor trio, THIS setup sees us with a first year from each house: Hufflepuff Hinata, Slytherin Sasuke, Ravenclaw Sakura, and Gryffindor Naruto! A much more interesting arrangement, imo x3 Sadly I don't have time to do the ENTIRE scene, but we got the prompt line mentioned, and that's the main point - y'all can surely imagine how it goes from there! Buuut anyway, it's very late and I gotta run! Thanks so much for reading~

LittleBigPlanet 3: First Impressions

New Post has been published on https://www.coolgamingzone.com/littlebigplanet-3-first-impressions/

LittleBigPlanet 3: First Impressions

LittleBigPlanet 3 was released last Tuesday for PS3 & PS4. It’s easily one of my favorite current-gen games, and I’d like to tell you a little bit about how I feel about this iteration so far.

Overall Updates:

LittleBigPlanet was really cool when it first came out in 2008 because it had three “layers” so to speak. Your sackthing could switch between these layers to move through the side-scrolling level. It was a nice way to upgrade the age old way of playing a 2D video game. Another one of LBP’s strengths is the art value, integrating textures and combining art styles within stickers and level props. What they’ve done in this version of the game is added a secondary layer that your character can jump to or use other items to slide into, so essentially you have two main pathways with 2-3 layers in each (or maybe just two, I’m only onto the second act or so in the game). I like the way this adds depth to an already interesting series of levels.

They’ve also added some interesting new angles of gameplay – whether you’re picking up a totally different character to run through a level at an aerial view, or building a race car and racing another character, there’s a slew of new ways to play the game. Inside the game. It’s just miraculous.

The game interface differs slightly in this version as well. You still have your “Popit” where your stickers and personalization tools are kept, as well as where your explody-sackthing-tool resides. What they’ve added on the nary-used circle and triangle buttons are two new menus, a quest tracker and a tool-keeper. In past games for tools, you would typically run over a platform to pick up the tool and it would disappear within the level once you don’t need it anymore. In LBP3, you can access all your tools at any given time, which adds to the puzzle-solving aspect of the game, and convenience for level building later on. One less platform to account for, and if I remember correctly you would have a limited radius in which you could use the tool as well. The quest tracker reminds me of World of Warcraft in the way that you can highlight a quest and it will give you a pointer on the side of your screen to direct you to where the quest’s next step is located. Either way, both of these little menus were a nice update to the game and made sense to be where they are.

The Characters:

So one thing I appreciated about the last game was the fun they had with the names – Larry Da Vinci or Dr. Higginbotham. The new game certainly does not disappoint with the play-on-phrase names like Papal Mache, Newton or Marlon Random. While most kids who are playing won’t make some of the connections, the older crowd can appreciate the nuances.

But let’s not forget about the 3 new playable characters in the game – Oddsock, Toggle and Swoop. I’ve currently only unlocked the first two, but they’re a blast to play with. Oddsock is adorable and fast, his strengths being to run up walls and wall jump. Toggle can literally “toggle” between a larger or smaller self, able to break through walls or run into small spaces, launch himself through different layers and be an overall badass. Swoop is a bird, so I’m gonna take a guess that he can fly through other levels, which could be pretty OP depending on how they handle it.

Adventure/Story Mode:

Something that I was pretty unhappy with in LBP2 was the story mode – or lack thereof. I blew through the story mode within a week or so of buying it, and I was left wanting so much more. I understand the game is geared towards more of a “create-it-yourself” crowd, where the community levels are often better than the actual story mode levels, but I enjoy the unlockables and the perfecting of the game, so the fact that there wasn’t too terribly much to go back to made me fairly disappointed.

LBP3 does not disappoint. I’ve already put in roughly 6-8 hours of gameplay and I already find myself wanting to go back to levels for things I’ve missed, but there’s still so much story line ahead of me as well. The levels are also set up a little differently, where they have “storybooks” of levels. A main world that will take you to levels inside it as you unlock them or find them through discovery. Even in this main world you can pick up prize bubbles.

Something else I’m looking forward to is the other “modes” they have going on in this game. From what I’ve gathered (I’ve only really dabbled in story mode thus far), they’ve created a mode encouraging people to play through levels by using the building tools to keep moving through. If that’s the case, I think that’s a great integration of what the second cool part of this game is, which I tend to not touch because I don’t have any amazing level-ideas. I’ll let you know if I’m totally off the mark.

Group Play:

Trying to find a game that makes you want to play with others, I personally think is hard. With any of the new Mario franchises (Kart, Super Smash, or World) you find characters you’re familiar with, and worlds or enemies that have been recreated time and time again to save the princess (I think? She wants to be saved – right?) LittleBigPlanet has a great way of getting others involved, so much so that I want to grab my husband or someone to come and play with me while I play through any and every level. The teamwork is interesting – I’ve found that this game overall is a bit more challenging than the last with boss fights and level complexity, which lends itself to longer game play and more interesting replay value. The same goes for the x2, x3 or x4 player puzzles, bridging on something that more Portal 2-esque within reason. The new tools that you’re given in this game make the puzzles something to think about instead of a straightforward one person jump on a switch and another stand on a platform.

New Tools:

So at this point I’ve gotten 4/5 of the new sack-toys in my arsenal. Props to the interface of the game making them easy to access too. I think the tools in this game so far are pretty hilarious (the pumpinator – it blows and sucks!), but also very clever (the illuminator – shine light on something seemingly flat to make it come to life). I really like that there are levels I’m playing through and seeing the icons for other tools that I didn’t have at the time, so I’m even more encouraged to go back and see how I can get those prize bubbles. It’s like when you finally get double jump in some game and can reach all the spots you couldn’t before hand. So satisfying.

So can you tell I like the game so far? Media Molecule has outdone themselves again, and I’m thrilled with the longevity that this game is presenting so far.

If you haven’t picked this up yet, I highly recommend picking it up when you can. Don’t wait for the holidays, who even does that? I guess parents. That’s fine, but maybe pick it up for yourself and rewrap it for day of and pretend you haven’t seen it before.

Have any thoughts? Share what you think of the game so far in the comments!

Destinyverse Q&A

I asked my watchers on Deviantart to send me questions, related to me or Destinyverse, for me to compile and answer for a Q&A! Below the cut is the full Q&A and I hope it’ll be informative about me, my characters, or the Destinyverse universe! c:

Mysticalite:

1. Do any of your characters have any disabilities (I haven’t read all the bios so I might have missed something) if so, who and what do they have?

When it comes to physical, no! Though Destinyverse!Daring Do does have a permanent wing injury that gets in the way of taking off and flying normally (her wing can lock up and impair movement in the air). When it comes to mental (which I think mental illnesses count?); There's Eventide Twister with her general and social anxiety, and Skychaser has his bouts of depression. Then there's one other character who has dealt with clinical depression, and may still have its effects, but well...this isn't the right time to out them. ______________________________________________

2. Does the pony world in your universe have more relation with the human world? Like do more humans come over to the pony world and vice versa? With all video game stuff that involve Nova Spark, it made me wonder, do the humans share their technology with the ponies?

(Note that my answer is based off of Destinyverse headcanons!) There have been fun, silly stories passed around Canterlot City about magic and monsters and highschool students transforming into magical girl human-pony hybrids. But nowadays, people have waved off such stories as one huge school-wide prank or just exaggerated rumors to give Canterlot High and the city an interesting reputation. After graduating Canterlot High, and after magic disappeared (for the most part) from the human world, both Sunset Shimmer and Princess Twilight Sparkle agreed it'd be best to keep the existence of the magic portal on the down low. Not that normal humans who have never come in contact with equestrian magic or have never been pulled in at least once can cross it, but...better safe than sorry. A lot of back and forth communication and monitoring of the area around the portal is needed for Sunset or Astral to pass through unseen. Only those with Princess Twilight's permission are permitted to use the portal to cross back and forth.

As for technology! With all Sunset Shimmer has seen and gathered from the human world, the mare has used that knowledge over the years as inspiration to help advance Equestrian technology! Twilight puts her at the head of planning such projects, though they naturally need blueprints and research notes to be approved by Princess Celestia herself before they can start a project and have it produced for Equestria! ___________________________________________________

3. What kind of technology is available to the ponies from the human world?

Similar to question 2, all advancements to technology in Equestria are human-inspired, but Equestrian-made! And I think it's safe to say magic has been added to the equation to create a unique magi-technology only Equestria would possess (think of how the helicopter blades on Tank's flight gear are run via an enchantment!)

One of the first things Sunset helped introduce were computers and monitors. Naturally an evolution in the gaming industry followed with the creation of consoles and computer games. We also have the creation of CDs and the development of portable music players, which improved the music industry.

There are some ideas still in the works for the topic of technology. For one, what about a development in animation and even TV shows? For some reason I feel like live TV wouldn't be a thing in present-day Equestria (whether because it's still being worked on or...Sunset wants to settle on live radio news broadcasts). Secondly, it'd be nice for there to be a communication device similar to a telephone, but not the complex cellphones/smartphones that humans have. That's an idea being smoothed out!

But one thing's for certain. The human's expansive "world wide web" does not exist in Equestria. Sure, computers - including desktop computers - exist. They're helpful with creating and storing documents and files, digital art, reading discs for computer games, etc. Buuut...Sunset has a new mantra, thanks to her past regrets. ”Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should”

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

4. I'm sorry if this came up before, but if Dream's parents were both Earth ponies, where did her unicorn traits come from?

It hasn't! I believe one of Dreamaria's grandparents on her father's side is a unicorn! I have a feeling her father grew apart from his own parents for one reason or another, hence why the thought of going to them for unicorn-advice wasn't an option he considered. Dream has no connections to them.

_______________________________________________________

5. Your characters are beautifully made, but I wonder: Are your characters’ personality and background based on your life, people around you, or both? Or is it just to discover topics through fictional characters?

Thank you so much! And ah geez, this is going to be a long one, I apologize ahead of time. <xD There are a good chunk of characters in Destinyverse that I've handed aspects of my own experiences to. These characters would be Eventide Twister, Monochrome, Dreamaria Flow, Skychaser, and Summer Rush.

Dream, Sky, and Summer have the most subtle connections, don't worry! It ties into the aggressive behavior they've faced in their lives, but to keep it from getting too personal, I'll end that thought there. <:3

Monochrome only has one aspect in particular that I gave them because it's something I struggle with and needed to give form. The chapter "Gallery of Infamy" alone embodies it: a desire to share the things that are important to you with others, especially those that matter most. But when you can't, you're often left with a sense of loneliness. Being able to explore that feeling through Monochrome was pretty freeing. ;w;/

Then there's Eventide Twister, who in all honesty embodies the most aspects in her own way. Specifically, her struggle with anxiety and her plotline with Heather. That's something I don't mind sharing: My ex-friend wasn't Heather. In fact, I've shaped Heather in a way that's made her completely different from the friend I knew. But she was my best friend for many years, whose toxic behavior shaped my anxiety into what it still is today. The chapter "Honesty", while the event that forever damaged me and my friendship didn't play out quite like that, holds heavy references to that event and embodies the emotions I was left with that day. Emotions I had to struggle with for years. But I've gotten better with my anxiety and can function better than I could years ago. I continue to handle my anxiety the best that I can! And everything I've ever learned from my experience, I'm handing over to Eventide. Because even when you're left damaged, without a single bit of closure in sight, you can still heal. You can still overcome your hurdles and build yourself up again. That's what Eventide's character arc is about. And I look forward to sharing what I have planned for her. <X3

There's something almost therapeutic about expressing these internalized experiences and feelings through a medium like this. It gives those things form and provides a way of reaching out and communicating them to others! It's incredible how much reception Eventide's arc received, and seeing others be able to connect and relate to her and share their own personal stories is something I find so, so meaningful. I can only ever hope that being able to see these characters have similar experiences or struggles helps people feel heard or a little less alone...! _______________________________________________________

6. What ships in your NG are endgame? Like, which ones are gonna be official? Like Skychaser and Evergreen

While I can't give a direct answer to that, this question allows me to provide a bit of insight, since I'm sure others have wondered this too!

The reason EverSky is so openly canon is because 1. Skychaser, before he was fully developed, was originally created specifically to be Evergreen's boyfriend. xDD Not that he wasn't going to have more to him, but! That's what motivated me to make him! Now he's developed a solid story role! And 2. I drew tons of EverSky before I even started working on Destinyverse, sO, it's out there in the open. xD

For the other endgame ships? I want to avoid outright confirming certain ships for reasons, and then there are others who I'm just not 100% certain with yet (like the idea of Summer Rush and Jonagold!). Just know that while certain things may be perceived as either romantic or platonic (platonic physical affection after all!!), I'm also...not the most subtle when it comes to hinting or enjoying my own ships. <xDD That's your clue! But I have at least established that ChromeTwister isn't endgame, and I confirmed that because hellevenIenjoyit but I don't want people getting upset thinking that's being set up when it's actually not and Monochrome's crush is a thing of the past. ;w; Feel free to ship what you want though!! As long as it's harmless and everyone's respectful of one another's ships (as well as the canon ships), it's all good. <xD _______________________________________________________

7. When we will see Evergreen past arc?

AH, surprised someone's asking for Evergreen! He indeed has his own past arc, and well...I want to say he'll most likely be the last character to get his revealed, BUT it also completely depends on which arcs I feel like working on as time passes. <xD I already feel like I'm jumping around and unable to settle on one character. But admittedly some things still need to be sorted out for Ever's, so! We'll see! _______________________________________________________

Lack-Rat

8. I've got a question/story idea for you. Are enchanted comics that pull you into the story an established form of entertainment in your world or was that one spike got one of a kind?

I had to look back at the episode in question, but it turns out Spike got that comic from a shop called "The House of Enchanted Comics", so apparently there are multiple! I'm sure that it's somepony's unique talent, since I imagine that kind of spell would be a rather complex one for just any unicorn to perform (and it's a rather specific creative approach)! And because it's unique, I don't think it's a form of entertainment everywhere! Since Spike's comic disappeared at the very end of the episode, I almost think these enchanted comics only have a single copy that can be borrowed before they teleport back to its creator! So there's just one very specific shop in Canterlot that provides such magical comics. c: Hope that creator has their form of comic-enchantment trademarked. u m u

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

9. On a related note, do you think Nova would ever invent a game console that magically sucks it's players in, either intentionally or accidentally? Given that he's Twilight's son I wouldn't be surprised if he could.

HAH, the thought never occurred to me, but hey! He probably could. uwu As a whole new generation of gaming~ Though it'd have to be intentional and consensual. xD And it'd be way down the line! His present goal is to just create immersive story-driven games. _______________________________________________________

MadnessOfTheMind

10. This may be considered a spoiler but I still gotta ask- Are Pinkie and Sugarsocks gonna have any kids in ur storyline or are they just a little side idea?

For some reason my mind tells me that those two don't feel a need to have any kiddos! >:0 They're just livin the best life with their business and parties~ Caramello from the Cake family is kind of the closest thing they have to a kiddo they can love and spoil. uwu

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

11. Also are we gonna get more Everchaser/Skygreen (Evergreen and Skychaser) panic gay horse content in the future or no? Cuz lemme tell ya I do love my chaotic gay flirt horses lol

YOU HECKIN BET YOU WILL, THERE'S S O MUCH I STILL GOTTA DRAW xD I haven't even introduced their future daughter yet. I'll end up drawing stuff about her eventually. ;w; And I personally call their ship EverSky! Makes me think of a beautiful endless expanse of sky.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

12. Also, what was the first nextgen you came up with an idea for, or what triggered you to start developing a nextgen story on Deviantart? I'm curious owo

I was inspired by Lopoddity's next gen artwork!! I was particularly enamored by her royal next gens and basically went "I...want to design...a kiddo for Luna", AND BOOM, WE GOT PRINCE AMADEUS, my first next gen! Princess Lumina followed after. c: From there I already had Dream Flow and Eventide Twister as characters (Eve was an undeveloped OC at the time), my friend had her character Star Chime, and the existence of my royal next gens started forming a story! A cover (now taken down unfortunately) of the song "Ballad of the Crystal Empire" kick-started ideas for an arc of the present-day story. And as more characters joined the cast, my brain exploded with ideas from there. <xD The realization that I could present this story via illustrated stories and art dumps was the final push I needed to start working on it!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

13. I know abt PTX, but are any other characters inspired by celebs or media figures you like?

Nope! In reality I don't actually keep up with a lot of celebs and media figures. <xD Aside from youtubers maybe, but still.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

14. What do you, Mia, personally like music-wise? What are a few of your favorite bands?

I always have a hard time naming genres because I kind of just like whatever songs sound good to me. <xDD But I think a common pattern is that I really enjoy emotionally-charged songs. Probably why I tend to enjoy songs from musicals (Dear Evan Hansen is perfection, fight me)! I also like things with a good beat, piano, strings, and a combination of all those things is mMMMMgoodshit.

For some bands! And singers! I enjoy Halsey, Panic! At The Disco, PVRIS, Rachel Platten, Paramore, and Marianas Trench!

______________________________________________________

15. Were you nervous about sharing you Pony next gen stuff?

Nah! I was already posting art and stories for other fandoms in the past, so posting for a new fandom wasn't bad! But most of all, I had a powerful desire to get out of my own way and get my stories out there. I have a hard time communicating my thoughts and ideas with people - or finding a place where I can do that - and it was wearing me down, internalizing my own ideas and passions. SO, sharing my stories became my way of communicating these thoughts and feelings and connecting with others!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

16. Out of all your ships, which is your favorite? Parents of next gen/next gen or otherwise!

For canon characters; TwiTempest is my absolute jam. They're so freaking cute; perfectionistic and panicky princess and her cool-headed and secretly soft guard captain. HM. Runner up would be DaringDash. I never actually shipped them until after I paired them together to create Monochrome. Only then did I realize how cute of a couple they could make. Stubborn, blushy fools.

For my next gens: EverSky was my everything for the longest time, but then came another ship. I won't name the ship, partially because of my whole "no confirming" thing, but also because it's a ship that I don't think anyone will be able to fully appreciate or understand until you see it unfold for yourselves. ;w; It'll become obvious with time~

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

17. What advice you'd give someone who wants to share their own fun pony stories/ideas themselves?

WELL! SCREW CRINGE CULTURE FOR ONE. As long as you're not copying or using harmful ideas, HAVE FUN AND BE INSPIRED!! Your ideas deserve to be out there! Not receiving much attention at first can admittedly be disheartening, but please don't give up! Keep believing in your passion, keep expressing it and having fun, and people in time will be able to see and appreciate those things! Also remember that it's okay to retcon if you end up finding ideas that work better. c: And one of the best things is that there's no pressure in posting stories 100% in order. You could jump around from character to character, from present day to the past to an event in the future, etc. In the end, just make sure you're having fun. ;w;/

Also, always have something with you to record new ideas! Your phone, a google doc, a notepad, whatever you need to jot ideas down new ideas as they come! From experience, you might think "oh this is an interesting idea, I can remember it for later". NO. DON'T TRUST THAT MY DUDE. YOU WILL LIKELY FORGET AND THEN HAVE REGRETS AS YOU TRY TO CALL FORTH THAT ONE SCENE CONCEPT OR THAT PERFECT LINE OF DIALOGUE but can't. So just be safe and jot down every idea you like, even if you end up tossing it out in the end. ;w;

ANYWAY! It all starts with you, so please, make that move and share your work~ Who knows who you'll end up reaching with your stories!

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

18. Are you aware of how wonderfully talented and adorable you are?

*SQUINTS* I'm only including this cause you legit submitted it, but how dare Myansweristhanksbuthush _______________________________________________________

PurplePenumbra

19. Regarding Dream, has she ever met any other unicorn with the same kind of magic as her? Would she like to? And if so, would she be happy to meet them?

She hasn't! Then again, other than the few times Uncle Serein would take her out of town for an outing or for visits to her grandparents, Dream didn't get out of her town much. Not until she moved to Ponyville! Whether she'd like to meet a similar unicorn is a little MMM complicated. I think meeting another pony with her abilities would at least be a good opportunity to see if she understands the full extent and workings of her magic. >:0 _______________________________________________________

ANONS! 20. Since the last ask reminded me of your mystery dungeon kids: if Eventide, Skychaser, and Dream were a mystery dungeon team, which Pokemon would each of them be and what kind of roles would they take? (tank, ranged, etc)

Dream Flow would be a shiny Ralts (emotion-abilities and psychic-type after all!) She'd be a ranged battler and healer!

Skychaser would be a Dartrix (no reason other than flying type + the hairstyle, and the hood for Decidueye. Besides, grass type boi would work well with grass type - possibly Roserade - Evergreen Glade~) And Sky would be a mixed fighter! Also have...have you guys looked up birds in hoodies. Please do.

Evie would be an Eevee~ Not only cause name play, but! Eventide's a char of possibilities. Darling's gotta find herself. ;w; While a reluctant fighter, if it means aiding her friends, Eve will do her best to fulfil her role as a close-ranged fighter (with Skychaser staying close to help out when needed). She'd also carry a wing-shaped backpack for the team's items! Evolution-wise? Even with no flying type Eeveelution, I think the most perfect evolution for her would have to be Sylveon~ You can piece together why. <X3 _______________________________________________________

21. Which characters were fun to develop and had the toughest backstory to plan?

Fun to develop? Oh Nova Spark all the way. A character who was originally created for fun and to serve the role of Prince Amadeus's best friend has developed into such a major character and I love him. It's probably why he has the longest past arc out of anyone, and also why I'm really excited to work on it BUT WELL I'm worried about leaving everyone else on the backburner. <xD

Hardest backstory to plan? Dream Flow. I've been developing her for over four years now and I'm still trying to sort her out. Heck I was figuring certain things out for her AS I was writing "Impasse". BUT HEY, I think I've settled on a good amount of Dream's story now! I'm sure I'll be editing some things as I go, but I've got a basic idea for what I want! _______________________________________________________

22. You've shown off kids for a lot of the MLP main cast, and they're all great! But one I've never seen mentioned and it has me curious. Does Starlight Glimmer have any kids? Will they be showing up even as a cameo/background pony?

Thanks! So this answer applies to all next gens, but for me to make a next gen, I need either 1. A ship I'm genuinely interested in! or 2. A character concept I want to design, thus I'll figure out parents that could fit the concept best. Examples would be Nova Spark (TwiTempest) and Beat Mania (VinylOctavia) for #1, and Monochrome and Skychaser for #2.

While a Starlight kid sounds nice, I just don't have a Starlight ship that's won me over. <xD Nor do I have any interesting char concepts I could use for a Starlight kid idea; BUT, the thing about that is that I'm not actively trying to create new character concepts. You see, I seem to have a hard time creating background next gen ponies because my mind likes to go off with ideas for almost every character I create. And with the amount of characters I already have, I really don't think I can balance any more characters in the cast without feeling a need to have them play a role in a main plot or another character's plot. And things are complicated as they are. <xDD SO you won't be seeing any new next gen designs unless I find a new MLP ship I REALLY like, or I think up an idea I really want to pursue! ;w;/ _______________________________________________________

23. Do any of the Destinyverse characters have friends that aren't ponies? Some of them did go to the school of friendship after all. Will we ever see them or have them mentioned?

Yep~! But see, those who have attended Friendship Elementary/the School of Friendship (Nova Spark, Eventide Twister, Astral Dusk and Monochrome) ironically are also the characters who have problems with friendship. <xD So none of them have non-pony friends presently.

As for those who do! Evergreen Glade actually has a Kirin friend who is very important to him. You'll meet him in Evergreen's past arc!

Summer Rush is very personable and probably has made friends with both ponies and non-ponies. ;w; None of them have been planned past being minor background characters, though. Maybe they'll have brief mentions! We'll see!

Princess Lumina has made friends with tons of royals/chiefs from other species! Comes with visiting or receiving visits from representatives/leaders/heirs of the other kingdoms within or outside of Equestria!

And finally Terra Rosa....may or may not have a friend who's not 100% human. Without realizing it. _______________________________________________________

24. They all seem to be around the same age, but who's the oldest/youngest of the Destinyverse crew?/How old is everyone supposed to be in Destinyverse?

Keep in mind these are approximate ages, from oldest to youngest! Princess Lumina is the oldest at 27. Then comes (big bro) Skychaser at 26. Summer Rush, Astral Dusk, and Prince Amadeus are around 23. Monochrome (and maybe Evergreen Glade) is 22. Eventide Twister, Nova Spark, and Dream Flow are around 20. And finally, Venture Gale is the youngest at about 14! _______________________________________________________

25. Will we ever be seeing more of Lumina or Amadeus? Will they have a part in this story?

Certainly! The only reason we haven't seen much of them is because we haven't explored the right characters that are connected to them! c: Which would be Prince Nova Spark and Star Chime (again, a friend's character!)! _______________________________________________________

26. Does Venture Gale read his mom's books? How does he react to them if so? Excited, embarrassed, or something else?

Absolutely~! He's a HUGE fan of his own mom's books! He gets so engrossed reading them, getting to re-experience his adventures in such an awesome light. It's exciting seeing himself as a character! Though he does get embarrassed when his mom adds extra narrative commentary, such as writing that Valor Wind is a fast-thinker, intelligent mind, a brave and honest soul, etc. His embarrassment is also fed by people who are die-hard fans of his character (Not that anyone knows he's Valor Wind or that the stories are real. But anyway, he's also incredibly flattered~)). Surprisingly, unlike Rainbow Dash who gets a HUGE ego boost out of their fans, Ven is a rather humble kiddo. But that's to be expected from the boy who becomes a red-faced bean over the slightest compliment. _______________________________________________________

27. Without spoilers, which Destinyverse character would you say has the biggest regrets about their past? Either in a single event or a long time thing?

Astral Dusk. It never occured to me until I read this question, but regret is a leading theme in present-day Astral's character conflict. _______________________________________________________

28. Who is your least to most fav character to draw in Destinyverse? Why?

Favorite character to draw? Nova Spark I think! I love coloring his gradient hair. Much simpler than hair streaks, and it's very pretty <xDD From there, everyone else so far has been on pretty neutral ground.

Now when I say "least favorite", in this case I mean the char that gives me the hardest time. And that'd be Skychaser, only because of his dang hair. <xD Getting the right curls and shape is WEIRDLY hard, but hey that's the price to pay for luscious hair. _______________________________________________________

29. What's Nova and Monochrome's relationship like?

Hehe~ It's a healthy one, built on trust and a sense of understanding they don't really share with anyone else in their lives. They often find themselves on the same wavelength and constantly have one another's back. If I can choose one word that embodies their relationship, I would choose...loyalty.

11 questions tag (x3 - so 33 questions tag, I guess?)

I’ve been super busy but I still appreciate having been tagged by @bibliophilecats, @books-are-portals, and @thelivebookproject, thank you!

I’ll answer all your questions in one post because I doubt I’d be able to come up with new questions for all three of the tags, haha But since this will be super long, you’ll find it under the cut!

First up, @bibliophilecats‘ questions:

1. What is your favourite movie and/or TV show based on a book? I’m not sure I have one, there’s nothing that immediately comes to mind at least. So I’ll just tell you about the first one I ever saw (when I was a kiddo still): Emil und die Dedektive! (based on the novel by Erich Kästner) 2. When you just can’t get into a book, do you quit or do you finish every book you start, no matter what? As embarrassing as it is to admit, I’m part of the latter category. 3. Which is your favourite bookstore? I absolutely love Daunt books in London because not only is it pretty, it also offers a very wide selection of books. 4. Do you keep all the books you read? Do you keep none? I keep all of them. One day I want to have one of those homes that are just full of books and plants! 4. What is the rarest color on your bookshelf? Difficult to say, but maybe gray? 5. Is there a book that permanently changed you (opinions, style, fandom) when you read it? Lots of nonfiction does that! One example is Caitlin Doughty’s Smoke gets in your eyes but also psychology-related books like Kahneman’s Thinking, Fast and Slow. 6. How do you unwind after a stressful day at work/school? Step one is my commute home, during which I read. And then it’s usually tumblr and youtube (or catching up with series). 7. Which fictional friendship/relationship is your goal? I haven’t figured that out yet but anything that’s supportive is always lovely to see. 8. What is the one skill you wish you could master? Better social skills, for sure! 9. You’re famous somehow and a University awards you one of those giveaway PhDs as a publicity stunt. What would you be a Doctor of? no idea, but I’d love the chance to get an actual PhD in linguistics or philosophy! 10. If nobody else is around and it’s cranked up loud, which song will you always dance to? Ooooh, there’s many! Tonight, Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae for example

Okay, now @books-are-portals‘ questions:

What book would you have liked better had you read it when you were younger? A wrinkle in time, probably.

Do you listen to podcasts? Any recs? I rarely find the time but when I do I love the Green brothers’ Dear Hank and John and, what is almost a classic of podcasts, Welcome to Night Vale

Favourite edition of your favourite book? ‘favourite’ is a big word and I don’t think I can answer to that but I do love my signed special edition of The Name of the Wind that has a goat scribble in it

Favourite book (fiction or non-fiction) you had to read during your studies (uni or otherwise)? That’s so difficult to choose! Let me give you a top 3: Hamlet, Code Name Verity and Tess of the D’Urbervilles (oh but I do have so many more favorites! what a tough question!)

What movie would make a great book? cool question! Frankly, I’d probably read most of the Marvel movies as books. The comic world is too intimidating for me but if the movies were books I think I’d really enjoy all the banter and stuff...

Tea or coffee? Coffee - I like the idea of tea but I can’t get into it.

A random fact you’re proud to know? I’m hardly ever proud of anything so that’s a tough question.... I can’t really think of anything, so I’ll pass

Favourite tree? Weeping willows!

Dream house/flat? I’d love to actually own a small house. Ideally with lots of light, plants, and bookshelves. + a garden!

Least favourite comic (series)? Why? I’m not invested enough to have one.

You have an unlimited budget to buy one (1) book. What book would you buy? I’d probably have something bound gorgeously just for me - maybe a collection of my favorite books or fanfics or something. There’d be gorgeous lettering, a leather cover and lots of lovely hand-crafted details.

And last but not least, @thelivebookproject‘s questions!

How many books have you read this year so far? currently reading my 50th!

Do you have a Goodreads account? (Mine is this) yes, over here!

How many languages do you speak? Well, I speak English and German. I learned a bit of French in school but I can’t really speak it. I’ve been learning Norwegian on Duolingo for more than two years now but I've never actually had a conversation in Norwegian, so...

How do you choose your books? I just read whatever looks interesting at the time.

Have you ever travelled abroad? Yeah, too many times to count (because I’m too lazy to count now). But with the exception of one trip to the states it’s always been within Europe.

Tell me something about yourself. I have a tough time deciding who I am.

Recommend a book? This is going to hurt by Adam Kay.

What are you currently reading? I’m currently reading Dear Evan Hansen because I love the musical!

Why did you create your blog? Just to see and share book stuff, really.

What do you like most about bookblr? That (despite people saying otherwise) it’s always there and from my personal experience seems so much more positive than other communities.

Blank gap -tell me anything you want: books you love, how do you feel about my blog, anything at all! So this is gonna be a question for the audience (I need advice). I have this book stamp (”from the library of....”) that I stamp all my books with after I read them and before I put them on their new spot on my shelves. Now I’ve just finished reading The Hunchback of Notre Dame and it’s an old book that I got secondhand (it even has an inscription!). I feel sort of strange about stamping it, I’m not sure if I should do it (Almost all of my other books are new books so I had no trouble stamping them). Thoughts?

Right, you didn’t think we’d get there, but we did! It’s time for my questions! Not all of them are bookish because it’s really tough coming up with new stuff after thinking of weekly bookish questions for years [also I might self-plagiarize and use some of those as wbqs in the future]....

I’m tagging @nevertobecaught, @maddie-mux, @lettersfromthelighthouse, and @trinareadsbooks to answer these questions:

1. What’s the best combination, a book + ..... (can be food, a drink, a place, a feeling, etc.) 2. What’s your stance on classics? 3. If you could add one feature to tumblr or booklr specifically, what would it be? 4. What was the loveliest reading experience you had lately? 5. Do you enjoy musicals? If so, what are some of your favorites? 6. When it comes to vacations, do you prefer city trips or lots of beach time? (or neither/something else?) 7. Are you a candle person? 8. What’s something you admire other people for? 9. Have you discovered any new songs you love lately? 10. If you’re currently reading something, which page are you on? And are you enjoying it so far? 11. Which birthday gift would absolutely delight you?

#11 questions tag #tag thingy #a long one I'm sorry #but it's easier to pack them all into one post :D

Theme Bestiary: Apollyon, the Father of Plagues

CR 29

Neutral Evil Medium Outsider

Pathfinder Bestiary 6, pg. 160~161

Apollyon is the penultimate figure here on End of the World Month, the CR 29 Horseman of Plague. It may seem a bit paradoxical that in order to destroy life, Apollyon has dedicated his existence to creating new forms of it, and that has not gone unnoticed by his peers among the Four and among the daemon race as a whole. In addition, rather than relying on sheer power, Apollyon is often content to sit back and watch his diseases work instead of stepping in and doing anything himself. Despite this, Apollyon is powerful enough to maintain his position as Horseman of Plague for longer than any of the previous holders of the title and hasn’t faced a significant threat to his rule in the thousands of years he’s held it... Barring, of course, Trelmarixian’s recent foray into the realm of consuming affliction and parasites, something that causes the two Horsemen to butt heads quite often.

To player characters, diseases aren’t much of a threat. They’re an inconvenience, to be certain, but by level 8 or so, it’s rare that an illness will ever become life-threatening to a player character. If they’re not outright immune to sickness, then the party healer (and Ranger, and Druid, and Wizard, and Occultist, and--) either knows Remove Disease to squish the sickness entirely or Restoration to undo any significant ability damage done. While this means Apollyon’s primary gimmick is less than effective against players, it spells doom for any civilization he draws near at a level no other Horseman can approach. With Quickened Epidemic 3/day, Mythic Augmented Contagion at-will (which affects every creature within a mile of its casting), and Cursed Earth 1/day, Apollyon has the single widest destructive range of any of the Four; he cannot wipe a civilization off the map overnight, but he can afflict a whole city with an insanely contagious version of Bubonic Plague, or use Cursed Earth to contaminate the very soil with a tenacious, permanent illness. Fittingly enough, Apollyon’s presence can come and go in an instant, but he leaves a stain of sickness everywhere he goes, a gift that keeps on giving.

Note that normally, Apollyon cannot use Mythic Augmented versions of his spells outside of his own realm in Abaddon, but such spell effects can pass through physical portals or the Gate spell (something Apollyon cannot create on his own, but could very well obtain the materials needed to make). Cursed Earth is good and all (fantastic for him, actually), but the potential for him to just drop a plague nuke on an unsuspecting city is certainly interesting.

Anyway, while Apollyon’s plaguebringer ways aren’t especially suited for combat with a party, he’s still plenty skilled enough with that wicked scythe of his--the Usher of the Black Rain--to make life hard for anyone that manages to fight him directly.

Just know that Apollyon never, ever fights by himself. Trelmarixian and Szuriel may have a handful of allies on their side at any one time, but Apollyon is impossible to catch without a whole battalion on his side. While I normally talk about creatures under the assumption that they begin a battle alone, Apollyon is never alone. His deacon daemon--the breed which most closely serves him and embodies his ideals--is the Luekodaemon, the weakest of all the deacons... but also the most numerous. He has millions of the things at his beck and call, and a battle with Apollyon can quickly become a battle of attrition against an enemy with inexhaustible numbers if the party doesn’t have a method to stem the tide. As Apollyon and the Luekodaemons can both use Greater Teleport at will, the hardest part of the fight may just be keeping the Horseman still and preventing more of his allies from pouring in.

It’s not that Apollyon is a coward, but as one can expect from someone that fights primarily with bio-weapons, he’s extremely pragmatic. Dirty fighting is in his nature! It helps that the Usher of the Black Rain can convert itself into either a scythe or a composite longbow, meaning that he’s capable of battling in both melee and at a range, repositioning himself with his Greater Teleport to rain death down on his enemies just as his deacons do. Strangely, despite the Luekodaemons doing so, Apollyon cannot weave his Contagion into the arrows he fires, but each blow from the Usher of the Black Rain deals 6 additional profane damage to any creature it strikes if that creature is suffering from a disease, bringing it to 2d4+29+6 damage as a scythe and 1d8+21+6 as a longbow; yes, the damage is rather low (especially compared to Szuriel), but he gets four attacks with either form each round, and they deal way more damage on a critical strike (x4 and x3 for scythe and longbow, respective).

Alongside his weapons is Breath of Flies, a beefed up version of the one granted to his Exalted, dealing 18d6 damage to anyone caught in the blast before the flies congeal into a 20ft obscuring cloud, dealing 9d6 more damage to non-daemons caught inside and hiding everything within from sight, potentially letting him use Greater Teleport to escape. In addition, anyone within 10ft of him must contend with his Plague Shadow, a mess of biting, filth-crusted vermin that boils from the ground at his feet constantly. Anyone in the shadow at the end of his turn takes 5d6 damage and must make a DC 38 Fortitude save or be nauseated for a round, stripping you of your standard actions until you escape his shadow.

While he would prefer to stay at a range, keeping foes at bay and their casters harassed with an at-will Creeping Doom and shoving foes back with an at-will Telekinesis, anyone in melee with him will not only have to contend with his scythe and his shadow, but a gore attack from his horns (4d8+8) and a VERY nasty bite with disease-encrusted teeth, not only dealing 6d8+8 damage but inflicting 1d4 negative levels via Energy Drain! In addition, anyone bitten must make a DC 42 Fortitude save or contract Soul Plague, a disease that cannot be overcome with rest, only with magic, dealing 1d8 Con drain every day it goes uncured... And nauseating the victim for a full 24 hours. That’s one entire day without the ability to take standard actions! The onset is immediate, too, so if you don’t save right then and there or don’t have any method to cure the disease, you’re basically helpless until Apollyon puts you out of your misery.

...Unless you’re just immune to disease, because then Soul Plague can’t hurt you.

Yeah.

There’s a LOT that’s weird about Apollyon. Despite granting the very gift to his Evangelists, Apollyon has no method to bypass disease immunity against his foes. His Father of Plagues ability can ignore immunity and resistance even in Constructs and Undead, but it can only be used to afflict someone with a sickness they’ve already suffered in the past (including Soul Plague if it gets cured, by the way). If you’ve never been sick a day in your life, Father of Plagues does nothing. That’s... Strangely weak, for a being who gives MORTALS the power to bypass disease immunity. It’s also a pretty huge and glaring weak point for someone who plans to kill everyone everywhere with disease, not being able to afflict creatures normally immune.

Hmm. Y’know, I’m beginning to see why Trail Mix is managing to muscle his way into Apple Yawn’s turf. He’s good at affecting a lot of people, but not so much against targets that matter. At least, I suppose, he can just straight up kill them himself. Maybe that’s been his real plan all along; hew out the weak so the only ones left are the ones whose souls are worth tasting.

You can read more about them here.

[vore] 101 Uses for Carrots, chapter 12

I may have promised Stretch things would be different this chapter but--next time, I swear X3

“The Waiting Game sucks, let’s play Hungry Hungry Hippos Foxes” -Blueberry, probably.

Thanks again to @deck-of-dragons for going along with all my last-second requests ^^

[chapter 1][chapter 11][read on AO3][chapter 13]

3k words - tags/warnings: rape/non-con, soft safe consensual vore

After Edge left with Stretch, Red paced around Blueberry’s living room for two laps, which was pretty energetic for him, before hunching in a miserable lump next to the sofa, trying not to take up space. Edge had told him to make himself scarce, so he didn’t want to—couldn’t—go check on Stretch’s situation. Guilt gnawed at him. Was he leaving Stretch to suffer because he was too scared—too cowardly to face his brother? Because he’d made a notch in his ear? He could honestly say that was farther than he’d expected Edge to take things. Maybe he hadn’t known his little brother as well as he’d thought. Or perhaps it had all snowballed from Edge eating Stretch in the beginning, which had been, well, not okay, but completely understandable—they were a fox and a rabbit, after all.

He flinched as the door opened and closed. “Red, you’re here! Where’s Papy?” Blue trotted over to him, not limping at all.

“Edge took him back with him.” Red folded his ears and tried to pull his skull inside his jacket.

“Why didn’t you come back and get me? Straighten your ear. Let me see it.”

“It’s fine. What about you though?”

“I’m fine. Undyne fixed me up. And she could have fixed up your ear if you’d come back.”

“Nah, it’s—it’s just gonna stay like that.” Red shrank even further under Blue’s scolding tone.

“But doesn’t it hurt?”

“Not so much anymore.” Red wanted to change the subject, but he didn’t want to be the one to bring up Stretch; and yet it felt wrong to bring up anything more frivolous while Stretch was in such dire straits.

“I can try to heal it. Even if it’s still missing a chunk, maybe it’ll heal over and stop hurting.”

“Nah, it’s fine. I deserve it, anyway.”

“What? Why?”

“I didn’t—I let him take Carrots again, didn’t I?”

“You didn’t LET him—”

“No, I HELPED him do it!”

Blue climbed up his jacket to stroke his skull. “Ssh, it’s okay. You’re gonna help get him back, right?”

Red hesitated, and desperation crept into Blue’s eyes. “Of—of course I am,” he assured the bunny.

“What are we gonna do?” The tearful note in Blue’s voice tore at his soul.

“We’ll—I’ll just—go see what’s happening, for starters.”

Red’s phone buzzed. Blue backed off so that he could reach it in his pocket.

It was a text from Edge: REMEMBER NOT TO KIDNAP CARROTS TODAY. I WILL CHECK!! AT RANDOM INTERVALS!!

Red cringed. “Maybe we should wait until…” He trailed off. Would there be a better time?

“We can’t—we can’t just leave him there another night,” Blue pleaded.

“I don’t think Boss is gonna let us—he says he’ll be checking on him ‘at random intervals.’”

“But he has his patrols and Guard stuff!”

“Yeah, the problem is we have no way of knowin’ when he’s gonna come check on him.” Red shuddered. “And I really don’t wanna get caught again.”

Blue looked at him with something akin to disgust, and Red hoped it wasn’t prompted by his own cowardice. “What if…” The bunny looked away in thought. “What if we go at night, when he’s asleep? I still can’t believe he actually, physically injured you like that…”

Red frowned. “He’s not really a light sleeper.”

“But we can just pop in, let Papy know we’re there so he can—wiggle free—” Blue cringed at the likelihood that Edge would be cuddling him like a teddy bear in bed. “And pop out again. And if Edge wakes up in the middle we’ll just teleport away and wait an hour or so and try again.”

“It could work,” said Red. It was possible. Not likely, but possible. At least conceivable. And he didn’t have any better ideas.

“You’ll do it?” Blue’s eye lights were bright with hope.

“Sure. Of course I will.”

Blue climbed into his arms, and Red held him. “He’s not gonna—do anything to Papy, during the day, right?”

“Probably not. Even if he’s checking on him, he still has to patrol and junk.” Red hoped he wouldn’t go so far as to take time off work to spend with Stretch, but if he was going to, today would probably be the day. He didn’t mention his doubts to Blueberry.

“Okay. I’m gonna make dinner for us, so we’ll be in top condition when we go over there tonight. But first I just—just need to stay like this a little.” He burrowed deeper into Red’s jacket, and Red held him tighter.

They stayed like that for a long time, and Red might have gotten bored if he hadn’t had so much practice at being idle.

“Um. Red.” Blueberry broke the silence eventually, and Red assumed he wanted to be set down in order to go start cooking, but before he could do so, the bunny continued, “Thank you for—uh—I don’t want to say ‘choosing our side’ over your brother’s, but maybe—maybe it is. So thank you for helping us.”

It was like the words stabbed through his soul. He was choosing a bunny over his own brother. “Don’t thank me yet,” he said. “We still have to get Carrots back and keep him here.”

“But if we wait until he’s asleep,” said Blue, and Red understood he meant Edge even though he refrained from naming him, “won’t he…you know…?”

Red squeezed him tighter for a moment. “I don’t know. Maybe.” He would be surprised if Edge went straight to bed after dinner without ‘taking care’ of Stretch again. But then again, he’d already done it twice today, judging by what he’d said before he left. Was it only wishful thinking to hope that twice in a day might be his limit? “But I really don’t want to get caught again, and not just because of my ear. If we—if he sees us, he might—take more precautions to keep us away.”

“But Red, he can’t keep you out of his room if you want to get in, can he? You can teleport.”

“Yeah, but—what if he took our strategy of sabotaging the machine and turned it around on us?”

Blue went stiff in his arms. “But—you could fix it, couldn’t you?”

“Maybe. But if he did enough damage it could take a long time.” It would be riskier for Edge to try to take out their machine and then get back to his own, but he could do it by opening a portal on a timer, blasting the rabbits’ machine, and going back through, especially if he figured out how to offset the portal a little so there was no risk it would be affected. It wouldn’t be that hard. And then they’d be completely at Edge’s mercy for who knew how long, probably until well after the kits were born.

Blueberry had enough knowledge of how the portals worked to come to the same conclusion. “Let’s not get caught,” he said.

***

Blueberry was able to distract himself with cooking for a while. After all, it was a necessary part of their plan to rescue Stretch for good! Red seemed unfocused all through dinner. Blue forced himself not to eat too quickly, but it was hard. He cleaned up his own dishes and the cooking things, waited not-very-patiently for Red to finish, then cleaned up his too. Then he started pacing.

“Blue, save your energy,” said Red, when he noticed.

“I know, I just—ugh! I can’t sit around and do nothing while—while—”

“I know, but it’s still way too early. We could even take a nap to kill some time while we wait.”

“There’s no way—!”

“Yeah, I didn’t figure you’d go for that.” Red shifted, seeming to sink into the couch cushions a little more.

“I’m keeping you awake, aren’t I?” Blue tried not to sound resentful, that Red could think of sleep at a time like this. He knew the fox cared; they just had very different ways of dealing with problems and reacting to stress.

“Nah. But come and join me and maybe you’ll relax a little bit.”

“All right.” Blueberry hopped up on the couch and let the fox put his arm around him, pulling him into a cuddle. It was surprisingly effective. He’d thought that Red might as well hold him still so he wouldn’t spend all his energy pacing, but he hadn’t expected to actually relax in the fox’s embrace. He clung to Red’s sweater, and something warm and wet touched his skull. Red was licking him.

“Do you wanna—?” The fox proposed.

Blue opened his mouth to say no. How could he do such a thing when Stretch was probably suffering through something horrible right at that minute? But he couldn’t deny it would probably help him calm down and not worry himself sick. “Okay,” he said.

Red’s jaws pushed gently down around either side of his skull. He twisted so that his face wasn’t pressed into Red’s tongue. “Don’t let me stay in too long, okay? I don’t want to make us late.”

“Mm-hmm,” Red answered, pushing him upward from below, so that Blue’s skull was pressed into the ecto-flesh of his throat.

If his face hadn’t been pressed up against the ectoplasm, Blue would have liked to elicit further assurances, making sure Red knew he’d need time to get cleaned up after this, maybe pausing to—but it was too late for any of that; he was at the fox’s mercy now. It should have been terrifying to be so helpless, but it was actually freeing, in a way. There was nothing he could do, so he didn’t have to do anything.

Red’s tongue and throat pressed around him, pushing him deeper as the fox swallowed. He kept his eyes squeezed shut to keep the fluids out of his skull, and relaxed, letting Red’s body move him as it pleased, squeezing him inexorably deeper until he finally settled in the somewhat looser space of Red’s stomach. There was still nothing he could do here except relax and wait for Red to let him back out, but the gentle pressure from all sides was comforting, like when Red had hugged him but even more so.

***

Stretch was forced out of his light doze by the sound of the door opening again. Edge had come in to check on him several times by now – thankfully all he did was check, feed him again, and pet him a few times – so it was probably just that. It was still nerve-wracking though, and the sound of him closing the door and walking deeper into the room was even more so.

But he didn’t go straight to the bed this time like he’d done every other time. What was he doing? And did Stretch dare stop pretending to be asleep for long enough to poke his head up and check? No, he’d just lie here curled up in the blanket, his face buried in a pillow, and hope Edge left without bothering him this time.

A short time later the bed dipped as Edge sat on it. “Wake up, Carrots,” he said as he pet an ungloved hand over Stretch’s skull and ears.

Stretch stayed still, keeping his eyes closed and trying not to tense up and tremble. Edge would let him sleep, right? He knew the kits were taking a lot out of Stretch – well it was more the situation, but Edge thought it was the kits – so he’d be all right with him napping, right?

“Carrots,” Edge said louder, so apparently not. “Time to get up. You sleep too much.”

Stretch groaned as he titled his head to look up at Edge. He was wearing what could only be classified as pajamas. They were black – shocking – and covered in a bunch of little skull and crossbones symbols. But… did that mean it was nighttime? It had to, right? Enough time had certainly passed for that to be the case. So, Edge was going to go bed now, which meant…

“Nah, I just went to sleep a little while ago.” Also, what else was Stretch supposed to do? He was literally chained to the bed; until the kits were born all he could do was lie around and do nothing, so he might as well sleep. “So, I’m super-duper tired. The kits are exhausting, ya know? Can I go back to sleep now?” He nuzzled his face into the pillow, trying to look as sleepy and not ‘cold’ as possible. Edge had already raped him twice today; surely that was enough, wasn’t it?

Edge thought for a few seconds that seemed to drag into minutes. “No, mates always make love at night before cuddling together and going to sleep. But because you’re probably exhausted from the stress of being in a new place, and quite frankly I’m a bit tired from everything I’ve had to deal with today too, we can make it fairly quick.”

Stretch couldn’t hold back a whimper as the blanket was pulled off him, leaving him cold in truth even with his hoodie on. First, Edge pulled said hoodie up to examine his belly. He rubbed a hand over it approvingly before pulling the hoodie back down and picking Stretch up. He placed him back down on the center of the bed on his back and pulled his legs out so he wasn’t curled up.

“Do we have to?” Stretch said as Edge undid his pants and pulled them off. “I’m, uh… not really in the mood right now.” He would never be in the mood but… he’d already been through this twice today.

Edge sighed in annoyance as he positioned himself between Stretch’s legs. “Summon your magic.”

What would happen if Stretch refused? It probably wasn’t worth finding out. So, with a sigh he summoned his magic. He was maybe even used to this enough to be a little turned on already, probably had something to do with hormones too.

He didn’t look at Edge until he felt the head of his cock press against his pussy. “Wait,” he said and by some miracle Edge actually paused.

“What?” he said, annoyed.

“Uh… can I turn around?” He really didn’t want to look at Edge during this – or ever again, but the only way that would happen was if he found a way to make himself go blind.

“Fine.” He pulled back a bit, giving Stretch room to flop around onto his front. He didn’t lift his pelvis though, much to Edge’s displeasure, based off his annoyed sigh and the way he roughly pulled Stretch’s hips up.

But Stretch had only a second or two to appreciate his little act of defiance before Edge thrust into him, making him yelp in pain and surprise as his body was rocked forward. Edge wasn’t letting up either; he never did. So Stretch braced himself with his arms and pressed his face into the blanket beneath him. He was already panting as his magic quickly adjusted to Edge’s size and pace, growing slick with pleasure and arousal; his body was used to this by now. If only he had the energy to be as horrified by that as he should’ve been.

Should he ask Edge to go faster so this would be over quicker? He wanted it over with as soon as possible but… it was already bad enough like this. Tears were already forming in his eyes, despite the fact that he should be emotionally numb to this by now, shouldn’t he? This was… how he was going to spend the rest of his life, unless Red and Blueberry figured something out that would actually work. And what were the chances of that happening?

Choking back a sob, he clenched his magic around Edge’s as it filled him, letting out a moan instead. Why’d it have to feel so good? Why couldn’t it just not feel like anything? Or better yet why couldn’t this shit just not be happening?

“H-harder,” he said with a sob. He was close, he just needed a little bit more. Then when Edge knotted he could sleep and forget about everything for a little while. Hopefully Edge wouldn’t want to use him in the morning and would let sleep as long as possible; doubtful, but hoping for it didn’t hurt, right?

Edge grunted his approval as he pressed down on Stretch’s front to thrust harder into him. The new angle was more than enough to bring Stretch to orgasm with just a couple more thrusts. He let out a loud sound that he maybe should’ve at least tried to stifle as his body arched in pleasure. It was enough to tip Edge over too as he rammed himself in one last time, the knot setting in.

Stretch’s body shook with a sob as warmth gushed into magic and Edge began petting him. “Can I… go home when the… kits are about to… be born?” That wasn’t too far away, was it?

“Why?” Edge said.

“Because…” If Stretch could just get himself to stop crying it’d be easier to speak and come up with a reason other than he desperately wanted to go home. “… Doctors, they’re… foxes here, right? So, they’d… want to eat me and… probably wouldn’t help me. And I… don’t wanna go in labor alone.” Or without whatever kind of pain relief healers used to ease birthing pains.

“You won’t be alone. I’ll be here.” That would even worse than being alone.

“But… but… what if… something goes wrong?”

Edge was silent for a few seconds before replying. “I’ll think about. It depends on a number of things, most of all how likely it is our brothers would try to steal you again. Or we could bring a healer from your world to here.”

Stretch groaned, wanting to argue but lacking the energy to even try. So, still crying, he reached for the pillow and buried his face in it. Was it bad that he could now easily sleep When Edge was still knotted inside him? Probably, but so what? He didn’t have to feel it when he was asleep.

Promises (F!Kiran x Alfonse version)

Hi everyone! So this is my English short story project that I'd done! This takes place after chapter 10, that's what the first half of the story is about. XD

Also, I didn't use my regular team, I just used the generic team (Alfonse, Sharena, Anna and Virion, but Virion is barely mentioned) because it would make more sense for my teacher. Also, for generic purposes, Kiran’s hair is black. XD

Anyways after I upload this I’m gonna upload the version that has my Summoner, Ayla in it. X3

Edit: here’s a link to the Ayla version: https://gamergirl8989.tumblr.com/post/167851174187/promises-ayla-x-alfonse-version-alright-so

Sorry for the longish Author's note, enjoy the story!

————

Kiran watches as her Heroes get struck down by the Radiant Hero Ike, biting her lip. Virion had gone down due to Ike having distant counter, Anna got beaten earlier by Mist and Soren, and Sharena had gone down because she was closest to Ike, but she was able to do a great deal of damage before being defeated. The only Hero she had left on the field was Alfonse, and Ike was the only enemy left on the field. Alfonse was down to 5 health, but Ike was down to 3. "You got this Alfonse! You can beat him!" The black haired Summoner shouts to the blue haired prince. The prince smiles a bit, running at Ike and dealing the final blow. Afterwards, both the Heroes and enemies came back to life. "We lost. But I have no regrets. You have showed us your strength. We're not enemies. Someday, somewhere... We might just meet again. I look forward to it." Ike says.

"We did it! Our homeland is saved. It's time to head back!" Anna declares with a smile. "Ugh, I'm so tired..." Sharena complains. Kiran couldn't help but chuckle a bit, looking around and getting a bit distracted. "Alright, Kiran, let's get-" Anna starts, but was soon cut off by a loud sound. "What was that?" the red haired commander asks, confused. This made the black haired Summoner look back over at the group. "No!" Alfonse starts. "The gateway, it's closing..." he says, as the group starts running. Unfortunately, Kiran wasn't a fast runner like the others, so she had some trouble keeping up. "Kiran, hurry! This way!" she could hear Alfonse shout, but as she leaped to go through the portal, it closed. "No!" Kiran shouts, falling to the ground, but quickly getting up and looking around frantically.

"Hello, Summoner. This time, it's just you and me." A girl's voice could be heard. 'No. Not Veronica, anyone but her, not now!' Kiran thinks frantically, turning around with fear. She was right, it was the Emblian princess, Veronica, standing behind of Kiran with her tome open. "Your bratty little friends are on the other side of the Gateway. There's no one to save you now..." The princess continues, as Kiran tries to get away, only to trip and fall. "I made a promise to you, and I intend to keep it. It's time to die." Veronica continues. Kiran was frozen in fear, starting to tremble. "I'll pop your head right off... Just like I used to do with my dolls." Veronica says, smiling wickedly. Kiran closed her eyes, taking a shaky breath, readying herself for the pain that was about to come.

But it never came. A sudden blast of magic came from the distance and hitting Veronica, making Kiran’s eyes snap open. "Who dares-?" Veronica says, surprised by what just happened, and fell down from the force of the attack. Kiran stumbles to her feet, knowing this was a good chance to escape. "Run, Kiran! Towards the light!" a male's voice shouts. A Gateway opens, and Kiran stood there, shocked. "Just go! Trust me! I'm Zacharias – Alfonse and Sharena's friend!" the mystery man, who claims to be Zacharias, shouts. Kiran nods, and starts running towards the gateway. Kiran sees a flash of light, which did concern her, but she kept running. "Keep going! Your almost there!" Zacharias shouts. Another flash of light appeared. "Kiran! You'd better watch out for Alfonse and the others!" was the last thing she heard Zacharias shouts, before seeing one more flash, jumping through the portal.

The next thing Kiran knew, she in a foresty area, tumbling to the ground as she went through the portal. "Oof!" She grunted as she landed on the ground. "Kiran!" she could hear Alfonse say. Ayla looked up to see the blue haired prince running over to her, followed by Sharena and Anna. They ran to Kiran, who was now getting back onto feet. "There you are. Am I glad to see you!" Alfonse says. "Oh, Kiran!" Sharena says, both her and Alfonse hugging Kiran. This caught Kiran off guard, but she hugs back to reassure them. "When I saw you disappear just like Zacharias did, I thought my chest would burst." He says, looking very worried. "Me too. I'm so glad you're safe. Seriously, don't do that." Sharena says. She looked like she had been crying. "I'm so sorry I worried you guys... But your friend, Zacharias, he saved me – Veronica found me and was about to kill me, and –" Kiran stops herself for a second, taking a breath. "It's... It's a long story, I'll tell you guys on the way back to the Order." She says exasperatedly, while Sharena and Alfonse pull away from the hug. "What? You say that Zacharias saved you? What are you talking about? How..." Alfonse says. "Let's talk later! We have to get out of here before they close the gateway on us again!" Anna shouts. Alfonse, Kiran and Sharena nod, and the group starts running back.

The next day, Kiran was sitting in a secluded part of the garden, trying to relax. Everyone in the Order of Heroes heard about what had happened the day before to her, and everyone was constantly asking her if she was okay. To Kiran, it was very exhausting, having everyone worrying over her. Even in the garden, she could still feel someone watching her, but she tries to brush it off. 'Probably just Feh...' She thinks, looking around and seeing the fluffy white owl sitting on a branch nearby. Kiran sighs, thinking about something else that happened yesterday. She expected Sharena to hug her, that was normal for her. But it wasn't normal for Alfonse to hug anyone. She sighs, trying to figure out what it could mean, blushing a tiny bit. She then heard rustling of leaves, making Kiran snap out of her thoughts, sighing. "If this is you, Kargero or Saizo, this is the third time I'm telling you, I don't need protection. I highly doubt that Veronica would sneak in here to kill me." Kiran says, sighing.

"You can't be certain about that, Kiran." Was the response she got, but it wasn't from either of the Hoshidan ninjas. She looked up to see Alfonse. "Oh! Alfonse, hey!" Kiran says, smiling a bit. "S-Sorry, Saizo and Kagero have been on me all day about my safety." She says sheepishly. "It's okay." Alfonse says, coming over to her. Kiran blushes a bit, but tried to hide it by pulling her hood up over her head. "Kiran? Are you okay? You've been acting off lately..." Alfonse says worriedly. "O-Oh, yeah, I'm fine!" Kiran says quickly. She was afraid of ruining the two's friendship if she was truthful about her feelings, especially if he didn't feel the same way. Alfonse frowns, having the feeling that she wasn't telling the truth. "Kiran, you can tell me." He says. Kiran gulps a bit. "I... I don't want it to ruin our friendship..." she mumbles, looking down slightly. "Hm?" Alfonse asks, not being able to hear her.

Kiran could feel her heart pounding wildly, sighing and standing up. "I..." She starts, unsure of how she should say this. Alfonse listens, frowning from worry. "I... I love you..." she says, quickly pulling her hood further over her face to hide her blush. Alfonse stood there, shocked. When Kiran didn't hear a response, she felt tears form in the corners of her eyes. "I-I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said anything..." She whispers, about to leave. However, she didn't expect Alfonse to grab her hand and hug her. "There's no need to be sorry." Alfonse starts, wrapping one arm around her, then letting go of Kiran’s hand to move her hood. Kiran looks at him, shocked. She was still blushing, not expecting this. Alfonse then leans in and kisses her. Kiran’s eyes widen a bit, but then closed her eyes and kisses back. After a few seconds, Alfonse pulls away, looking into Kiran’s eyes.

"...Because I love you too." Alfonse finishes. Kiran smiles and hugs him, her hood falling off her head in the process. Alfonse smiles and hugs back, resting his head on top of hers gently, being that bit taller than her. "I wasn't sure if you felt the same way, I was scared of ruining our friendship..." Kiran mumbles. "Well, I do feel the same, and I want you to know that I vow to protect you, Kiran." Alfonse says. Kiran smiles looking up at him. "Thank you, Alfonse... I swear, I'll help you all I can throughout this war, and stay by your side, and bring peace back to Askr." Kiran vows. Alfonse smiles, kissing her forehead. "Thank you..." he says. The two stay in each other's arms for a little, promising that they'd never abandon the other.

11 Questions... x3

I was tagged by @sharada-n @audaciousanonj and @esmiden in that order

If anyone else tagged me, tag me again because I missed it!

1. Which are your favorite hot and cold drinks?

Cold drinks: Usually either milk or vanilla coke. I also like birch beer, root beer, and peach-cranberry juice, but usually I just stick with the milk and coke.

Hot drinks: TEA. Specifically this nice vanilla black tea that I've cracked the code on preparing in the microwave so it's both hot and very convenient. This is my go-to drink of any type. Also coffee, hot chocolate, matcha, and just various types of teas. I prefer hot drinks over cold.

2. What’s your favorite color scheme/combination?

Usually I kind of default to dark turquoise/cyan and lighter orange/gold. It's the most common gradient map I use when I'm being lazy with coloring and also evident on my main blog's colour scheme. Toss in some red and you're in for a good time. I also really like maroons and pale greens but I don't use it that often.

3. Windows or Apple?

PC FOREVER

4. Do you believe in astrology?

Nah, I do find out kind of funny sometimes since my sign (Capricorn) is such an over-the-top dethawing ice queen in anything relating to “what the signs do when ___” My Smart-People Astrology Sign (my Meyers-Briggs) turns up very similar content. I mean, granted, that runs truer than a hyper happy bubblegum type but it's still a bit boring.

I don't really buy too much into any of that sort of thing.

5. Would you punch me for 10$?

Wait are you paying me to punch you or am I paying you to be punched by me? Either way no.

6. Do you have any guilty pleasures?

HONESTLY in my main online community my guilty pleasure that I hide from the world is being Undertale trash.

To a lesser extent: my guilty pleasure that I hide away from this community is that I’m reality show trash. Specifically one particular reality show. It's 17 years old and Actually Very Good, but no one will ever believe me.

7. What’s your favorite flower?

We grow snapdragons sometimes. They're really neat! Otherwise it's hit or miss with me and flowers. Despite the main blog name that I've been using for like 10 years I've only recently started to kind of like roses. Mostly for the a e s t h e t i c.

8. What would you name your theoretical kids?

I change my mind on this one a lot. I usually like names that aren't common but also could sort of fit in in an old novel. Like Orville or Evander or something like that. I had a list once but I lost it. I also like Emily or Alma.

Some angry part of me wants to name a child November even though I know the awful fate I would be leaving them to by doing it.

In the end I am almost definitely not having kids so the most likely name I'm gonna pull out is naming a pet Papyrus someday.

9. Sweet or savory?

Depends, but I usually go for savory. Sweet drink-savory snack is my go-to.

10. Do you wear socks in bed or nah?

I don't wear socks at all unless it's very, very cold.

11. Could a horse fit through a window?

If you removed the panes from my windows a horse would just barely make it through. Probably needs to be a smaller horse though. It can't be too wide.

1) What’s your favorite holiday?

THIS IS HALLOWEEN THIS IS HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN HALLOWEEN

But truthfully i haven't been feeling it the last few years. I can't think of any holidays I have.

2) Loose clothes or tight?

As loose as possible. Though I'll take tight underlayer loose overlay.

3) Chrome, Firefox, or Safari?

I had a weird bug a few years back where my computer was constantly freezing up and crashing. I knew it was some sort of graphics issue but the word thing was it never crashed when I was playing a game, which lead to me using Portal 2 and Skyrim as ways of keeping my computer from crashing whenever it was idle, bumping up my times in both games to a ridiculous amount (though I still play both a lot). Turns out it was Firefox causing the crash, but I didn't realize because if I don't have a game open, I always have a browser up.

I had to switch to Chrome at that time and now I'm pretty settled on it. I do miss some aspects of Firefox though.

4) Favorite style of humor?

I love humor that's based around people and their habits. Not necessarily observational and I don't like it to actively mock people, but I like humor that's based around people and their attitudes and interactions, especially if it makes people feel more like characters or caricatures, but not stereotypes. I have a sort of dry sense of humor but that's not really required for this. It's hard to actively explain and I'm blanking on any great examples.

This definitely plays into the previously mentioned guilty pleasure.

5) Fluff or Angst (Reading)?

ANGST. Angst got me into this fandom when I solidified my terrible obsession with this game by reading I'm Feeling Fine, Kid and since then I've read close to every Papyrus-centric angst fic this fandom has put out.

Pretty much any I haven't read yet are in my read later list because I haven't been in the best heavy-angst mood lately.

I always take recs.

6) Fluff or Angst (Writing)?

Writing angst is so much easier for me. I think it's because I have a very introspective style which lends itself better to letting the sadness flow. It usually works out to angst with a side of fluff. But with art and comics, it's a lot less introspective so it ends up being fluff with a side of angst.

7) Do you make -sonas?

I kind of actively dislike making -sonas. It never feels right. I made one when I was about 16 (which I now dislike) and haven't really made one since. I generally just stick with a blob or stick person to represent me. Maybe a seahorse.

8) What are you gonna dress up as for Halloween?

A patient recovering from a cholecystectomy. Maybe one that also has spoopy face paint on and blogs about Undertale.

…I wish I was doing something for Halloween ;;;

9) What are you pickiest about?

Food and fonts. It's the ultimate irony that I fell so far for Undertale.

10) Have you seen my au Name the Fallen and if so what was your favorite part?

Save him Flowey, before he falls too far.

11) Papyrus is cool?

That's not a question. Nothing has ever been less of a question.

1. Favorite literature or movie genre

Hmmm… I really like mystery novels! Other than that, I’m a big fan of dramedies. Anything that mixes comedy or fantasy and feels is great.

2. Top five animated cartoons

This is going to be my knee jerk list and not necessarily accurate. It’s also not in any particular order.

Moana

The Incredibles

Wall-E

Lilo and Stitch

The Princess and the Goblin

3. If you could choose a fantasy land to stay in for the rest of your life, which one would you chose? Ps. You won’t be able to get back to the real world.

I would honestly head down to the Underground and let some monsters try to steal my soul. I think it’s the perfect blend of interesting but also not everything-trying-to-kill-me(-forever).

4. Favorite song at the moment?

Hopes and Dreams played backwards. Also Frozen Pines by Lord Huron and Ground Control by All Time Low and Walk Off The Earth’s cover of Heya

5. What is good design for you?

Oh man, this is a tricky question. I’m actually a designer but I’m very much a master of none. The most important thing in any design is readability and ease of use, though. No point in having a product you can’t use because the A E S T H E T I C is in the way. No point in a document or website you can’t read. No point in a gallery you can’t view. Good design should make things MORE usable, not less. Functionality should ALWAYS be the number one goal.

At the same time black and white helvetica minimalism is boring and terrible for most things. Gimme some COLOR, some LIFE. I don’t care if it’s cheesy or weird or quirky or outdated. I want things with detail and personality.

(Note: you can totally have black and white minimalist helvetica and still hae personality. But I’ll take a “bad” design with some life to it over a mediocre design that follows all the rules)

6. What’s your favorite color scheme/combination?

I am a blue/orange shill, but theres a lot of schemes i like. Usually Cyan + any warm color

7. Which feelings effects you the most in literature/music/film etc.?

Tricky! I actually get the most into films about the connections between people (usually not romantic) or about identity (or loss of identity) and insecurities. I dunno why, they just effect me the most. They just do.

8. Favorite game?

Undertale (2015 Video Game). But also: Portal, Skyrim, the Fallout games, Kingdom Hearts, Bully, 7 Days to Die, The Forest, Friday the 13th, Stardew Valley, Reigns, Alto’s Adventure, Pixel Dungeon, Plague Inc, Life Is Strange, Tabletop Simulator, The Long Dark, What Remains of Edith Finch, Tropico, The Stanley Parable, The Flame in the Flood, Contagion, and The Sims.

I like Games.

9. What’s most important for you in a good movie?

I’ll enjoy any movie with well-concieved characters but the real gold medal goes to anything with post modern reality fuckery and/or magical realism. I like movies about movies or about storytelling. Big Fish, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, The Truman Show, Stranger Than Fiction are some of my favorite movies that sort of adhere to that. Gimme all the post-modern plotlines with likable characters and let me pretend there’s a happy ending. That’s all I’m looking for.

10. What’s your favorite time of the day and why?

Dusk. Everything cools down, the sky turns gorgeous colors, but it’s still not considered weird to go walking around or running errands. It’s just nice!

11. Extra because I’m out of ideas, if you got a painting. What would you want on it? XD

Nice colors and a good subject. Like Papyrus with huge biceps.

Here’s my questions! I’m going to tag the 3 that tagged me if they feel like doing this, plus anyone who wants to do it. Just tag me on the post so I can see!

1. What was your favorite fairy tale growing up?

2. Were you ever traumatized as a child by a movie or TV show?

3. Whats the weirdest dream that you can remember?

4. If you could be or do anything you wanted for a single day, anything at all, what would you be?

5. What is your favorite anecdote?

6. Have you ever painted your nails? If so, what’s your favorite polish/color?

7. What is the scariest thing you aren’t afraid of?

8. Are there any snacks that you like that most people probably haven’t heard of or tried?

9. Have you ever gone stargazing?

10. Tell me about your favorite idea you’ve had, whether it be a story or a game idea or anything else along those lines.

11. Whats your least favorite color?

The Imaginary Friend -7-

Warning(s): PoV Change!

Pairing(s): Hints of SoRiku.

Note(s): Please be as harsh as you could.

I’m sorry if I got any spelling wrong. The only spelling corrections I have are google. So, if I made any mistakes, tell me.

Criticism is welcome.

Enjoy! xD x3

X-X-X-X

???’s PoV

I’m… Awake… And…

Real.

I felt a twitch.

Before I knew it, I sat up, groaning. I felt a pain in my head and…

Heart? Was it… The heart? I don’t… Remember.

I began to hyperventilate a bit, realizing what was going on.

Wait? I have my own body again!

I got up, and started to turn knobs, only to realize that I was trapped. Panicked, I pounded on the doors, and by that time, I decided to break the window, only to realize the level ground I was on.

“S-So high up!” I nearly whispered, backing up, and I turned to see everyone I, no, Sora, knew as friends. I decided to risk it, and jump out the window, wanting out of here.

Only for the silver-haired one to catch me. I panicked even more.

“L-Let me go!” I yell, pulling, “I want out! L-Let me go!”“

Then, I remembered I could make portals. I don’t know why, but I guess it came with every Nobody.

I made a portal, and pushed the silver-haired male in. Since he won’t let me go, then he’s coming with me.

X-X-X-X

I still struggled to break his grip, and we were on the ground of an empty, dark place. I nearly screamed, trying to summon the magic of the keyblades only for him to pin me. I still struggled, nearly whimpering at this point.

“Geez, Sora. Is every part of you freaked out!?” He asked, growling, “Calm down!”

I began to struggle more hearing that. Almost breaking my arm at this point.

“I’m not Sora!” I cry, trying to push him off now, “Now, where is he!? What did you do to him!? L-Let me go!”

He punched me, ‘causing me to to whimper. I stopped. Tears whelling up.

Silence.

He grabbed my arm, and dragged me back to the, still open, portal.

If he didn’t care for him, I would’ve erased him by now..

X-X-X-X

He successfully dragged me back to that tower, only for him to push me against a corner. Everyone gathered, causing me to shake a little.

“Gowsh, he’s shaking like a leaf.” Goofy whispered, concerned, “Are you sure he’s alright?”

“He’ll be fine.” Donald whispered back, “We did this for a reason. We just need to calm him down.”

King Mickey shushed them, before the silver-haired male walked up, kneeling down towards me. I pressed against the wall, not wanting him to be close, or to touch me at all.

“Calm down. Sora is alright. We just temporarily turned him into a heartless to bring you out.” He explained, giving a serious expression, “Trust me, I don’t want this either, but we want answers, and we know Sora wouldn’t give us the answers we need.”

“Wh-What!? Where is his heart!?” I yell, glaring at them, “Wh-What did you do to his heartless!?”

Riku stood up, and motioned to the other side of the room. The others got out of the way. I turn to see something black, flat on the floor, moving in place.

I realize what it was.

It came back up, and it was a little black bug. It had it’s little arms up, while still moving in place. Almost like it was…

Trapped. There was magic around it, trapping it in place.

Riku tapped my chest, now smiling softly.

“Sora’s heart is safe within you. All you need to do, is touch the heartless to go back to normal.” Riku explained, now giving that serious expression, “But for right now, we need answers. Please.”

Silence.

“H-How do you know I’d give you those answers?” I asked, still shaking. One last weak attempt to fight back, but one thing for sure, I’m not staying here for long. “H-How do you know I wouldn’t… G-Give… You anything.”

“It’s because we know Sora.” Riku said, once again, crossing his arms, “He likes to play around, and even when shaken up, he still would keep everything to himself. We understand why he does it, but it’s a pain in the ass to get anything out of him. So, we decides to get you out.”

“Wh-What…?”

“When I met you, you were more serious.” He continued, crossing his arms, “More set on fighting back, but we know you’d give us the answers. Please. We need answers.”

Silence.

“One… Condition.”

“What is it?”

“I’d rather be as my own person for now.” I say, still shaken up, but I calmed down enough not to stutter, “I aknowledge that I am his Nobody, but I have my own memories. My own… My own heart. Almost… Still. All I want is to be aknowledged… As my own person.”

More silence.

“Deal.” Riku said, smiling softly, “For now. You’re a completely separate person. You are not Sora’s nobody, but Roxas. The boy from Twilight Town.”

“Th-Thank you.” I nearly whisper, feeling a lot worse. Knowing that I am Sora’s nobody just warmed up to me. However, since that… Hell, being in Sora’s heart suddenly… Is comforting. Maybe that’s why I didn’t want to leave in the first place. However, I AM a completely separate person. I know I am. I tighten my gloved hands, “For now.”

Mickey, Goofy, and Donald looked at each other, before they smiled.

“Let’s get you to calm down.” Mickey said, smiling softly, “How ‘bout some tea? I’ll go make some for you.”

“Your Majesty! Wait! Let me help!” Donald cried, running after Mickey, “Wait for me!”

“I’ll be happy to be your friend, Roxas.” Goofy said, giving me a big grin, “Nice to meet you, I’m Goofy!”

“I’m Roxas.” I reply, not wanting to be rude, “Nice to meet you.”

I know Donald and Goofy already. I’ve spent as much time with them as Sora has. However, they haven’t met me personally. I wanted to just say ’I know’, and get them to leave me alone. They’re Sora’s friends, not mine.

“Have you met Riku already?” Goofy asked, smiling. “‘Cause ya already seem to have known each other already.”

I winced, remembering what he did. Riku looked guilty, but I just feel hurt.

“Oh.” Goofy said, setting two and two together, “Well, I hope you two get along in the future. Maybe we could even hang out in the future!”

“M-Me too.” I nearly whisper, giving an awkward smile, “I-I hope.”

“I know we will!” Goofy replied, smiling, “You don’t have to be shy, Roxas!”

Goofy giggled, as I just awkwardly smiled. By then, Mickey came in with a cup of tea, and Donald looking proud. Mickey looked proud too.

“Come ‘ere.” Mickey beckoned, “While the tea is still hot.”

I sat up, walking into the other room to join them on the table. Mickey kept a proud smile as I took a sip.

Bitter, but not bareable. I can drink this. I already felt myself calming down a little.

“Sorry to say this, but Sora and Riku is right… You do look like an old friend.” Mickey said, seeming a little suprised, “You took Sora’s name, but not his appearance. You took the friend’s appearance.”

“Really?”

“Yeah.” Mickey said, joining us on the table, “You really do look like him.”

“Well, it would be weird if Sora and I looked exactly the same.” I comment, blinking, “Wouldn’t it?”

“It would be weird, but we’d know you’re a part of Sora.” Mickey said, giving a sad smile now, “However, you do act different. The friend I met seemed more dependant, while you seem independent. Both are equally good, but equally bad too.”

I paused, remember how much Sora’s friend depended on Sora. I remember he seemed so scared to leave on his own.

“That might explain why he didn’t leave.” I reply, deep in thought, “He always outright refuses to leave, but at the same time, doesn’t want to stay. It’s like being trapped in a perpetual loop.”

“Oh.” Mickey said, and tilted his head, “So, he’s dependant on Sora.”

“Yeah. Very.” I sighed, leaning on the table, “I understand, why he’s so dependant, even before we met him, I remember just taunting him about it, and trying to keep his spirits up. Yet, he always just seemed so annoying. I wanted to just kick him out, and limit the space as long as he has a body to return to.”

“Why?”

“He… Was just annoying to me.” I say, finally, but I just sighed, “Sora might’ve acted annoyed or upset because of me though. I… Was going through enough pain as it was. I didn’t want Sora to feel it though, so I just… Wanted him to shut up.”

Everyone just looked at each other, concerned.

“I didn’t do anything because, well…” I gave a sad smile, “Sora. Ya know how he is. He’d want to take care of it nicely, and probably won’t want to do anything to hurt him. So, I didn’t do anything, but taunt him, or at least encourage him the only way I could…”

“Oh?” Mickey asked, “and what would that be?”

“… Tell him at least he had a body to return to, unlike me.”

Silence.

I took a sip of my tea, only to realize it definitely cooled down a lot. I decided to finish it.

“That wouldn’t help though.” I shook my head, “Of course. That really isn’t enough, that just ‘caused him to stay, that just caused him to feel sad. I wanted to avoid that… I wanted to take care of it as peacefully as I possibly could.”

I started to feel angry, but I just shook my head, and just wiped the tears that started to whell up.

So much for remaining strong.

“That’s enough outta ya.” Mickey said softly, concerned, “We got what we were searching for, for now. Thank you, Roxas. For telling us that much.”

“Can I go back into Sora?” I pleaded, biting my lip. I began to mess with my gloves, “Sora’s heart is so warm. I’d rather be in there, going back to being his Nobody.”

“We still need answers.” Riku said, with a serious look, “Just lay down, and take a break. We’ll continue tomorrow.”

“We can always bring him back out, can’t we?” Donald asked, concerned, “This seems a bit too harsh, Riku.”

“No, he can handle this.” Riku said, shaking his head. “As much as I want my best friend back, I still want answers from Roxas.”

“B-But…” Donald started, only for Mickey to shush him. He gave a confident smile.

“Riku is right.” Mickey said, nodding, “You’re a strong man, aren’t you Roxas?”

I wiped my tears as I looked at everyone in the room.

They were all smiling softly. Comforting. Knowing. Almost feels like home… Like Sora’s heart.

More silence.

“Yeah.” I reply, chuckling lightly, “I… I-I could handle one more day…”

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy cheered, and walked up to give me a hug.

I tensed up, not use to the contact.

Sora handles this all the time. I’m sure I could. I’m sure I could.

I hugged them all back, as I cried.

Sora seemed happy too.
