Pick a pop song and I'll tell you what their feelings for you are [18+]
Minors do not interact.
Group 1
"Oh, you make me go crazy over you. Baby, let me hold you close."
The Sage, Take Risk, Manifest, The Observer, The Outlaw, Play, back of the deck The Weaver
This is a person that is so into you they cannot stop watching you, whether in real or on social media. This person may use divination or consult psychics to know what you're up to. This is someone that is so caught up in your energy they feel like a criminal. This person is stalking you so much they sometimes wonder if what they're doing is legal. Their thoughts of you are R rated most of the time, which may add to that feeling of "is that okay to think of group 1 this way". I feel like this person's desire for you is getting out of hand. They may have been able to control themselves in the past but the more they think about you, interact with you, the harder it is for them to resist temptation. This person also feels like they're under your charm and you have complete control over them. With the combination of the sage, take risk and manifest, I get the message that their attraction to you is deeply rooted and that it is now too late for them to go back. They feel called to take a leap of faith and do their best to manifest a relationship with you and that calling gets stronger at night. This is when this person's shackles come off, I'm getting. During the day, as they're in public, they can't really let loose and indulge in their fantasies of you. But when they're behind closed doors, it just spirals out of control.
They have so much desire for you they would get you pregnant by thought if they could lmao With the combination of observer, outlaw and play, I get the message that this person is trying to push their luck and play with fire so to speak by making an attempt to be closer to you. They feel daring and curious, they want to see where this path would lead. They just can't stop thinking about what it would be like to be with you. They feel so intimately connected to you, both on a spiritual and emotional level. They're in a very flirty, playful energy. They definitely want to seduce you. I pick up on The Fool energy. This feels very dreamy and ecstatic. They're just on cloud nine whenever you're around and you may perceive it in their energy. I got a specific message of this person making a focus on your hands. Also, they definitely touch themselves thinking of you. And it makes them feel guilty because a part of them believes you wouldn't be comfortable with it. This person really tries to keep that sexual energy under control because they don't want to scare you off. I'm getting the message that they don't want to give you the impression that they only care about your body. They want to form an emotional bond with you because they feel like you go well together and that you're on the same wavelength. This person wishes to be in your vicinity and nuture the chemistry that you have. You bring out their inner child and make them want to venture out of their comfort zone, explore their fantasies of course but also all aspects of a relationship with you. They may want to be friends with you but in their mind, they wish you were more than that. Now I'm picking up on another song, Just friends by Keshi and that specific line : "if we fuckin, are we just friends?". I get a very specific message of someone telling their person that they want to be friends and the other being like "okay, we can do that". But the more they stay in contact the stronger the attraction gets and this person is thinking "friends shouldn't be thinking of each other that way, I just can't be friends with group 1 when I have such thoughts about them".
It feels to me like this person's mask is shattering and they won't be able to pretend for too long. If they haven't already, they will show signs of their interest being more than friendly with the way they talk to you, the way they act around you, how they look at you and so on. Things will start to slip up. Maybe they will compliment you more than usual. Or you'll notice they're wearing a specific outfit more often , which you approved of one time. Something about their energy will just feel different, more intense.
Group 2
"Yeah I really wanna stay all day with you. You know what we'll be going through?"
Boundaries, The Universe, Ask Body, Withdraw, Compassion, The Observer, back of the deck Release
Another song that may be relevant to your group is Psycho by Red Velvet as I've been hearing it in the back of my mind right before I started interpreting your cards. The person we're talking about is trying to let go of the need to control your connection. They do their best to focus on other things in their life. Which they kinda succeed at. At times, they still catch themselves thinking of you a bit too much in their opinion. The truth is, this person's love for you is so grand and vast they're afraid it would swallow the both of you whole. And this person, to protect you and the connection, has decided to take their distances a bit to allow you some space and time to decide for yourself whether that was something you truly wanted. This person is keeping you at arms length. They want to ignore you but something in their energy is just constantly reminding them of your existence. Specifically, they feel a tug in their body, a warm sensation that they immediately associate with you. This person is very in tune with their intuition and they instictively know when you're thinking about them. I get a message that you and this person are mirroring each other when it comes to your energies and how you feel about the other. This person knows that you are watching them from afar and they have no problem with that. They feel compassion towards you because they know you may be facing the same troubles as them. They have a lot of affection for you and more than anything, they just wish for you to be happy. They are conscious of their issues and the difficulties that come along with loving them. And they don't want to impose those on you.
I get the message that you and this person live at a distance from one another and are not in contact right now. At least not as much as you maybe used to. As you are taking time away from each other and keeping to yourselves, this person is maybe noticing things they didn't pick up on before, either about themselves or about you. They are also trying to gain clarity on their own perception of what is going on. I get a feeling like they are not sure about how they feel towards you or where they want things to go. So taking a break allows them to really figure out what you mean to them. As they're not seeing you, their third eye is actually awakening. The farther away you are from them the more channeling they're able to do. This person is in a phase where they need to find themselves and explore the depths of their own consciousness. So they are not as emotionally available as they used to. They care about you but those feelings have been put aside as they are called to focus on their purpose. Even though you hold a special place in their heart, they have other priorities that they are not willing to set aside because of how important these are to their own path. I feel like this person is going through a spiritual awakening and this is leading them to progressively disconnecting from you. And a part of them hopes that you'll be able to understand that this isn't something they're doing out of pleasure.
Group 3
"Big communication, tell me what you want. Translate your vibration, let your body talk."
The Alchemist, Transmute, Power, The Revolutionary, The Pillar, Ask Body, back of the deck Destruction
I get a lot of sexual tension coming from this group. The person you were thinking of is very attracted to you, so much so that they have a hard time holding it back. It is so intense at times that it scares them. They feel like if they give in to what they've been thinking and feeling, they'll lose control and ruin it all. How they feel towards you is very visceral. And the more time goes by the deeper their feelings get. This person feels like you've left a strong impression on them and an indelible mark on their life. Now that they've met you, they can never be the same again. They feel very inspired by you and motivated in your presence, you make them feel like they can take on the world and make miracles happen. You give them the courage to try things they never thought they'd do before. You push them to be a better person and question their beliefs. This person feels like they have to protect you at all costs. I get the message of this person getting outraged imagining you being with someone else. Like, they may be working or just chilling out in their home and suddenly an intrusive thought comes of you being flirted with by another person. And they kick their feet in anger and just completely lose focus. I can hear them say "no! I can't let that happen ! Don't you touch my person!". They just feel very possessive of you and a part of them wishes it weren't like that. They feel a bit ashamed because they think you wouldn't like it. Like "what gives me the right to be so clingy? They are a human being they have the right to live without me" but at the same time they just can't help it. I was hearing "I'm a s*c*er for you". Also, I picked up on LOSER from BIGBANG. I get the message of this person being clingy because they're afraid to lose you. They didn't get many opportunities in their life to love someone like they love you. I feel like this person had been alone for a long time before they met you and thus forgot what it was like to love and be loved. And now that they were reminded of it, they just don't want it to stop.
I get the message of this person strongly wishing for you to stay in their life for as long as possible, even imagining a future where you are together as a couple, having your own home and family. They fantasize a lot about what life with you would be like. But also a part of them wonders if they'll ever be able to get to this level. It's like they doubt that they're capable of such a thing or they're afraid you wouldn't deem them worthy. I get the message they put a lot of pressure on their shoulders because they think you deserve the finest things in life. They put you on a pedestal. I think you became this person's support system and that means a lot to them. You may be came at a time in their life when they were feeling like all hopes of being happy were lost. Maybe you helped this person overcome whatever trouble they were in and they feel indebted to you. I also got the message that you transformed this person's conception of love and relationships. Specifically I pick up on someone that used to claim they would never get married but after meeting you, they changed their mind. Also their ego got "destroyed" at your contact. They had put up walls to protect themselves which you dismantled one by one. This person really burns with desire for you and if they could get you all to themselves they would be the happiest person alive. If they were maybe distant in the past or acting cold towards you I feel like overtime this person may be showing you a lot more of their softer side and attraction for you. They may be teasing you a lot or just being more present overall, trying to be all up in your space, mainly to make sure no one else tries to steal their spot in your heart.

Hey uhhh. Sorry if this is too spoilery. So that Zine. Mentioning Capochin. THE FULL ON EMO EXCLUSIVE.
Do you think Capochin and [Redacted] improve together? They got a lot of work to do?? Is it okay for them to be together?
I wanna know MORE and I just. People are SCARED for Capochin myself included uhhhh.
PLEASE I NEED ANSWERS
Hey, before I say anything- I know they're mine and Day's characters, but anything I talk about related to "post-game" or context not in-game is still "speculation". Meaning, not necessarily canon unless it was something recorded in dev-text or something I specifically had in mind while creating it, not after. I would never want to snuff out anyone's own ideas for what things "mean". THAT BEING SAID, I have some things to say- DO NOT READ ON UNLESS YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE GAME:
So, It's pretty complicated and I've thought about it a lot during and after making the game. Hector's got to do a LOT of work to even earn Capochin's forgiveness, if he'll even give it to him. (if most anyone will give it to him, really.) It's a silly cartoon game but yes, the situation is pretty grim. I mean, you've seen that cooking video Capo made. You've seen what he said when you faced him at the end of the line. All those implications. Without getting into specifics, yeah, the situation was really, really bad. But it's complex. It's not black and white. Hector and Capo knew eachother for a long long time even before Hector became Inspekta (a nosy person might have noticed the news clippings in Milldread). So they go way back- and I imagine things were pretty great up until, and a good ways into Hector ascending. But you know, there was a certain turning point- leading to where he ended up. Razzma speaks on this a bit, throughout. (Razzma has a lot of interesting background tidbits, explore giving her different phrases!) Him realizing that becoming a god didn't solve his insecurities like he thought they might... and more... I won't elaborate too much, because I want you to imagine it yourself. I only want to spread a few bread crumbs and let you make up your minds, even if I have my own thoughts, you know? Your question: "Is it okay for them to be together?" Well, that's up to you to decide. It's okay to imagine whatever you want. Capo forgives Hector eventually? Great. He never forgives him? Also Great! Do I wish I had more time in-game to elaborate on these things? Sure, I do. There's a handful of things I'd love to have explored. But I also like that it's open ended- you can tell, at the end, even though the day was saved, Hector and Capo feel awful. Sure, Capochin gave him that confidence boost to save the day- nothing he said was a lie- it was just the right thing to do in the moment. But you know, they don't really get a chance to really hash it out. It allows for y'all to really brainstorm, the world is your oyster. Whatever you come up with- be kind to eachother and respect eachother's ideas, okay?

To Save Us Both
- Summary: Aegon was your shadow ever since you were a child. And once you come of age and Viserys gives your hand to Lord Tyrell's son, Aegon makes a decision that would save you bothâand ruin you all the same.
- Paring: sister!reader/Aegon II Targaryen
- Rating: Mature 16+
- Tag(s): @sachaa-ff @alyssa-dayne @oxymakestheworldgoround
You had always been the quiet one, the shadow lingering just outside the gilded glow of your familyâs attention. As the second daughter of King Viserys and Queen Alicent, you lived in the space between your motherâs careful plans and your fatherâs indulgent dismissiveness. Helaena had her dreams and riddles, and Aegonâyour elder brotherâhad his bravado and recklessness. And then there was you.
From the earliest days, Aegon sought your attention with a peculiar intensity. At first, it was innocent enough. He would seek you out during lessons, deliberately sit beside you at the long table in the Red Keepâs library, or tug on your sleeve when you were absorbed in your Valyrian texts.
âY/N, look at this!â he exclaimed one day, barely past eight, holding a wooden dragon he had carvedâor at least claimed to have carved. It was crude, the wings uneven, but you smiled at him regardless.
âItâs⌠unique,â you replied, your voice soft, careful not to wound his pride.
âUnique?â His face fell slightly before he puffed up with exaggerated bravado. âI think itâs better than that. It looks like Vhagar, doesnât it?â
âItâs a little smaller than Vhagar,â you teased gently, a rare flicker of mirth dancing in your eyes. Aegonâs pout faded into a grin, and he sat beside you, his body leaning just a little too close.
It was always like this with Aegon. He thrived on your smiles, craved your laughter, and seemed to falter when you turned away from him. When Helaena pulled you into her world of strange, whispered riddles or Aemond showed off his knowledge of dragons to impress you, Aegonâs mood would darken.
One afternoon, the court gathered in the gardens for a brief reprieve from the heat of the Red Keep. You had found a shaded spot beneath a weeping willow, a book of High Valyrian poetry resting in your lap. Aemond stood beside you, his expression serious as he recited lines from memory, his voice low and earnest.
âSe perzys ipradagon ziry ry,â he said, his pale gaze fixed on you. âThe flame consumes it all.â
You nodded thoughtfully, your lips curving in approval. âYouâve improved,â you said, your voice warm, and Aemondâs face lit up with quiet pride.
From across the garden, Aegon watched, his jaw tightening. He drained his goblet of wine in one swift motion and made his way toward you, his steps purposeful.
âWhatâs this?â Aegon interrupted, his tone light but sharp around the edges. He flopped down beside you, ignoring Aemond entirely. âHigh Valyrian poetry? How dull.â
âItâs not dull,â you said, looking up at him with a small frown. âAemond has been practicing.â
âOh, Aemondâs been practicing,â Aegon mocked, his voice dripping with exaggerated awe. âHow impressive.â He reached over and plucked the book from your lap, flipping through it carelessly. âYou should do something more fun, Y/N. We could go riding orââ
âShe doesnât have time for your games,â Aemond said coldly, stepping closer.
âAnd you donât have time for your lessons, apparently,â Aegon snapped back, his smile sharp. âRun along, little brother.â
âAegon,â you said, a note of warning in your voice. He turned to you, the sharpness in his expression softening instantly.
âWhat? Iâm just saying we could have more fun.â He leaned closer, lowering his voice. âYouâd rather spend time with me, wouldnât you?â
Your brows knit together, and you glanced between your brothers, torn. âAemond and I were having a conversation.â
âBut Iâm more interesting,â Aegon pressed, his grin widening as he tilted his head, his violet eyes searching yours.
You sighed, a reluctant smile tugging at your lips. âYouâre insufferable, you know that?â
âOnly for you, dear sister,â he replied, the words carrying a weight you didnât fully grasp.
As you grew older, Aegonâs attempts to claim your attention became bolder. When suitors began to glance your way at feasts, he was quick to position himself between you and them, his arm draped casually over the back of your chair, his voice louder, his laugh more boisterous.
One evening, a young lord from the Reach had spent far too long at your side, his compliments earning your shy smiles. Aegon, seated nearby, clenched his goblet so tightly that the metal bent under his grip.
When the lord finally excused himself, Aegon slid into his place, his eyes narrowing as he looked after the retreating figure. âDo you actually enjoy listening to that drivel?â he asked, his tone laced with disdain.
âHe was kind,â you said simply, glancing at him.
âKind? He was duller than a broken sword,â Aegon retorted, his gaze fixed on you. âYou deserve better.â
âAnd who would that be?â you asked, your voice carrying a note of challenge.
His smirk faltered for a moment, his expression turning uncharacteristically earnest. âSomeone who knows you. Someone whoâs been by your side all along.â
Your breath caught, his words lingering in the space between you. But before you could respond, he laughed, the moment breaking as quickly as it had come. âBut not him,â he added, his usual arrogance slipping back into place. âYouâre mine, little sister.â
You blinked, unsure whether to laugh or scold him, but the possessiveness in his tone left an unspoken promise lingering in the air. Aegon would always vie for your attention, no matter who tried to steal it away.
The announcement had been made during a routine gathering of the family, with King Viserys seated at the head of the table, Alicent by his side. His words were spoken with the offhandedness of someone making a trivial decision, though the weight of them crashed into Aegon like a hammer.
âItâs time we secure another alliance,â Viserys had said, his gaze landing on you. âLord Tyrell has expressed interest in a match between his eldest son and our daughter.â
You sat frozen in your seat, your wineglass trembling slightly in your hand. Across the table, Aegonâs face darkened. His lips parted as if to protest, but no words came. Instead, he stared at Viserys, his knuckles whitening as he gripped the edge of the table.
The conversation moved on, Viserys discussing trade agreements and naval concerns, but Aegon heard none of it. His mind was a whirl of chaos, his heart pounding so fiercely it drowned out the voices around him.
Later that evening, he stormed into Alicentâs chambers, his face pale and his violet eyes wild. She was seated by the hearth, embroidering a handkerchief with practiced precision. When she saw him, her calm expression shifted to one of concern.
âAegon?â she asked, setting the embroidery aside. âWhatâs the matter?â
âI need to speak with you,â he said, his voice strained. He paced the room, running a hand through his hair, the usual air of arrogance stripped away. âItâs about Y/N.â
Alicentâs brow furrowed, her motherly instincts kicking in. âWhat about her?â
âThey canât marry her off,â he blurted, turning to face her. âNot to the Tyrell boy. Not to anyone.â
âAegon,â she said softly, rising from her chair. âItâs a good match. Lord Tyrell is powerful, and his sonââ
âI donât care about his son!â Aegon interrupted, his voice rising. âI donât care about alliances or power or any of it. She belongs here, with us. With me.â
Alicent froze, her eyes narrowing slightly as she studied her eldest son. âWhat are you saying?â
âIâm saying I canât let this happen.â He took a step closer, his voice cracking under the weight of his emotions. âMother, you have to stop it. Youâre the only one he listens to.â
She reached out, placing a hand on his arm to steady him. âAegon, youâre being irrational. Y/Nâs futureââ
âMy future doesnât exist without her!â he cried, his voice desperate. âDonât you see? Sheâs the only thing in this world that matters to me.â
Alicentâs lips parted, her expression shifting from concern to something more conflicted. âAegonâŚâ she began, but he cut her off.
âSheâs everything to me,â he said, his voice softer now, trembling with vulnerability. âWhen she laughs, itâs like the sun breaks through the clouds. When she looks at me, I feel like Iâm someone worth being. And the thought of herâof her with someone elseââ His voice broke entirely, and he turned away, his shoulders shaking.
Alicent watched him for a long moment, her mind racing. Finally, she spoke, her tone measured. âYou care for her deeply.â
Aegon let out a bitter laugh. âCare for her? Mother, I love her. Iâve always loved her. And if they take her from me, if they marry her off to that Tyrell boy or anyone elseâŚâ He turned back to her, his face etched with anguish. âIâll die. Do you hear me? Iâll die.â
The rawness of his words struck Alicent to her core. She had always known Aegonâs feelings for you went beyond brotherly affection, though she had hoped it was a passing infatuation. But the desperation in his voice, the tears brimming in his eyesâit was undeniable. This wasnât a childish crush. This was a man willing to set the world aflame for the one he loved.
âYou must speak to Father,â he pleaded, his voice barely above a whisper. âConvince him. Tell him itâs not the right match, that sheâs too young, that the Tyrells arenât trustworthyâanything. Just stop it.â
Alicent hesitated, torn between her role as a mother and her duty as queen. Finally, she nodded, her voice firm. âI will speak with him. But, AegonâŚâ She stepped closer, placing a hand on his cheek. âYou must tread carefully. This path youâre walkingâitâs dangerous.â
âI donât care,â he said, his voice resolute. âIâll do whatever it takes to keep her by my side.â
Alicent sighed, pulling him into a brief embrace. âThen let us hope the gods are merciful.â
As Aegon left her chambers, a flicker of determination replaced the despair in his eyes. If his mother couldnât stop the betrothal, he would find another way. He would fight, scheme, begâwhatever it took. Because losing you wasnât an option. Not now. Not ever.
The candles burned low in Aegonâs chambers as he paced the floor. The wine on his table sat untouched, an unusual sight for him. Tonight, Aegonâs mind was too sharp, too focused, to indulge in his usual vices. The Tyrell betrothal still loomed like a sword over his head, and every moment that passed without a resolution tightened the noose around his heart.
He had spoken to Alicent, begged her to intervene, but her assurances felt fragile against Viserysâs iron will. His father had grown increasingly indifferent to the pleas of his children, too consumed by his own decaying health and dream of uniting the realm. If Alicent couldnât sway him, Aegon knew he needed to act. He needed to ensure that there was no choice but to keep you by his side.
The idea had taken root in his mind slowly, twisting and growing until it consumed him entirely. It wasnât honorable, nor was it kind, but Aegon was neither of those things. He was desperate. And desperation made monsters of men.
That night, as the Red Keep grew silent and the court retired to their chambers, Aegon found you in the library. You were alone, the firelight illuminating your soft features as you poured over a book. It was a scene he had seen a hundred times, but tonight it struck him differently. Tonight, he couldnât afford to wait, to hope that things would somehow fall in his favor.
âStill reading?â he asked, leaning casually against the doorway.
You glanced up, startled but not displeased to see him. âI could say the same to you. Itâs unusual to find you here without a cup of wine in hand.â
He smirked, though the humor didnât reach his eyes. âI suppose even I have my moments of sobriety.â
You smiled faintly and returned your attention to the page, but Aegon didnât move. He stepped closer, his boots soft against the stone floor, and you glanced up again, your brows knitting in confusion.
âIs something wrong?â you asked.
âWhy would you think that?â
âBecause youâre hovering,â you said plainly, though there was no malice in your tone.
Aegon chuckled, but it sounded hollow even to his ears. He sat beside you, closer than usual, his knee brushing yours. âI wanted to talk to you.â
âAbout what?â
He hesitated, his fingers tracing the edge of the table. âAbout the Tyrell boy.â
You stiffened slightly, your gaze dropping back to the book. âFather has made his decision. Thereâs little point in discussing it.â
âDo you want to marry him?â Aegon pressed, his voice low and urgent.
âIt doesnât matter what I want,â you said, your tone soft but resigned. âMy duty is to the family, to the realm.â
âThatâs not an answer,â he said, leaning closer. âDo you want him, Y/N? Do you want to leave the Red Keep, leave me, and go to Highgarden?â
You turned to him, your eyes wide with surprise and something elseâconfusion, perhaps. âWhy does it matter to you?â
Aegon swallowed hard, his throat dry. âBecause I canât lose you. Youâre mine.â
âAegonââ
âListen to me,â he said, his hand reaching out to grasp yours. âYou donât belong with him. You belong here, with your family, with me.â
You tried to pull your hand away, but his grip tightened. âAegon, youâre not making any sense.â
âI love you,â he blurted, the words tumbling out before he could stop them. âIâve always loved you, Y/N. And I canât let them take you from me.â
Your lips parted, shock evident on your face. âYouâre my brother.â
âAnd that makes it wrong?â he challenged, his voice trembling. âOur blood of the dragon is the same, our bond stronger than any lord or knight could ever offer you. Donât you see? We were meant to be together.â
You stared at him, your mind racing, but before you could respond, Aegon leaned in, his lips brushing against yours. The kiss was soft at first, tentative, as if he were testing the boundaries of what you would allow. When you didnât pull away, he deepened it, his hand moving to cup your cheek.
You pushed him back abruptly, your eyes wide with a mix of confusion and anger. âAegon, this is madness.â
âItâs the truth,â he said, his voice raw. âAnd Iâll prove it to you. If they try to marry you off, Iâll stop them. Iâll make sure you stay here, with me.â
âHow?â you demanded, your voice rising. âWhat are you planning?â
He hesitated, the weight of his scheme hanging heavily between you. âIf Father wonât listen, then Iâll give him no choice. If youâre mine, truly mine, he canât send you away.â
The implication of his words hit you like a blow, and you took a step back, your chest heaving. âYou mean to ruin me,â you whispered, horrified.
âTo save you,â he countered, his expression desperate. âTo save us.â
You shook your head, tears brimming in your eyes. âAegon, this isnât the way.â
âItâs the only way,â he said, reaching for you again. âDonât you see? Iâd burn the whole world to keep you.â
You turned away, your heart pounding, and fled the library, leaving Aegon alone in the flickering firelight. He stood there for a long moment, his hands clenched into fists, his mind racing.
If you wouldnât accept his love willingly, then he would ensure there was no other path for you to take.
Whatever it cost, whatever it took, you would be his.

â¨ShadowPeach Bio Parents Bio AU Q&A! 21/11â¨
Welcome to the Q&A! A space where I can answer related or similar question about the Shadowpeach Bio Parents AU! If you submitted your ask anonimously, then youâll have to check the whole post if itâs answered here, if itâs not, worry not! Your asks might have been used for a future comic or just in the queue~
Anonimo ha chiesto: Hi! Would Macaque kidnap Wukong again? I read your comic, the last page, where Macaque is the kidnapping expert. And I'm very curious about it. Anyway, I love your comics! You are awesome.
Haha I don't think they really need it unless they want to do a "traditional wedding courtnapping" but it would be pretty odd since they kind of already live togehter.
Anonimo ha chiesto: I know this is definitely a LONG ways away, but, imagine: Wukong and Macaque playing the newlyweds game. What questions? What answers? Whoâs asking the questions? Whoâs getting the most right?
I wont list all the lesson but I think Macaque would get most of them right just because Wukong never really changed a lot during the years, while Macaque went through different stages of his life, and and he has new hobbies and tastes.
Anonimo ha chiesto: Will mk have a nightmare about LBD? If yes Then we will have some angst with fluffy monkeys family moments!!!
Oh he has. He has many. Most of them he has while he is at pigsy's.
Anonimo ha chiesto: Can you please shows up a flashback backstory on how MK/Wukong discovered/found out/came out as trans?? đđđ Banana sundae with chocolate sauce, rainbow sprinkles, THREE cherries, and a super-deluxe one-and-only Monkie Kingâ˘ď¸ collectible spoon???
Anonimo ha chiesto: will we see any past Shadowpeach?? Iâm interested to see how you frame their dynamic back 5en.
Hahah maybe in the future, I'll see
Anonimo ha chiesto: Can we get Wukong telling dad jokes? Please, Iâm begging i want to see MK laughing and Macaque just being so disappointed with Wukong yet so smitten. I want to see more Monkey family domestic blissss. đđđđ
I don't have my dad jokes book here but man give Macaque an award for the patience he has with these two children
@goofybearclown ha chiesto: Hi :3 Just wanted to say I love your shadowpeach and cotl AU!!! I didn't notice you made both at first but when I did I was like "waow :0". Tbh your works are in my top 3 series on Tumblr! @fenikzia ha chiesto: I love your LMK comic so much, I look forward to reading the new additions to it when they come out every other day,and reading your comic just makes my day better. Even if it hasn't updated a particular day, I make sure to go back and reread the newest part.Keep doing what you're doing and make sure to take breaks! @skye-minecraftyt-blog ha chiesto: You! I like you! Your Bio parents Lmk au always makes me extremely happy and I regularly reread it. ((o(^��^)o)) Just wanted to say it @blazeandsilver ha chiesto: Hello, I just wanted to say your artwork is absolutely stunning, it makes my day whenever I see that you posted something new to the BioParents comic. Please keep up the good work and be sure to take some time for yourself, youâre important too.
AWWWWWW THANK YOU FOR ALL THE LOVE!!
Anonimo ha chiesto: Hihi shadowpeach au question: You mentioned in the latest comic that Mac is more lean and skinny than Wukong. Will we ever see the full extent of that?? ALSO I ADORE YOUR ART OMG â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
A fully naked Macaque you say? Maybe.... who knows....
Anonimo ha chiesto: I come to defend Wukong acting like a man looking at a victorian lady ankles, he hasnât seen his (ex) husbandâs fur in centuries. And he probably hasnât socialize in years either besides MK and the gang. Romantically he is stunned right? I doubt he has even looked at anyone besides Macaque anywaysâŚ
Honestly I like to think that Macaque was the only being in all the universe that was eer able to make him flustered
@mochalikesdrawing ha chiesto: So I got a question, will we ever get to see kaiju MK again?
I have a scene post AU I would like to draw. Maybe.
Anonimo ha chiesto: Ignoring all the angst because it is crushing my soul /pos, I'm lowkey convinced that Macaque knows Wukong feels some kind of way about him because he can hear his heartbeat go crazy at certain moments and isn't dumb, but just isn't calling Wukong on it because he's still trying to sort his own feelings first. BUT ONCE HE DOES OH BOY-
Hahah Macaque knows perfectly well Wukong is down for him. In the meantime Wukong is alwasy afraid he's just imagining things bc he's dense af.
Anonimo ha chiesto: Do you think Wukong and macaque would be cuddling and macaque would be watching something scary and Wukong would be trying to not pay attention to it because he hates scary stuff or would it be the other way around?
yess
@ep2nd ha chiesto: In your shadowpeach bio parents au, if MK and Wukong were created by Nuwa, with Nuwa using Macaque and Wukong as a base, has anyone wondered who created Macaque? And does Macaque himself knows?
Wait Nuwa created Wukong? If that's so I think then all the 5 monkeys were made by her, for some reason.
@boonalina ha chiesto: Sooo what exactly is the courtnapping process like? Is it just a simple "I'm gonna pick you up and carry you away" or is it an entire ceremony? Does someone have to lure the person into place? For example, Mei bringing Redson over to a secluded spot so that Mk can "courtnap" him? (Side note: I've been in this fandom for around two years now, and this comic is what made me find out about courtnapping lol)
I "think" anything that can be counted as like a sneak attack that takes them out of guard and brings them to the designated courtnapped room can be considered as courtnapping technically.
Anonimo ha chiesto: ... Hey so your shadow peach bio parent AU is better way better than season five. WOAH, WHO SAID THAT!! (no but seriously it is like a sitcom I tune on ever so often. Much love đŤś)
Haha thank you! That's a HUGE statement!
Anonimo ha chiesto: I wonder if MK has any unique attributes/abilities as a living mass of celestial material?
He's such a cocktail ofdifferent energies I wouldn't be surprised he is able to glow in the dark.
@cjtuy ha chiesto: I do have a question it's mainly about pigsy and tang when and how long have they been together as a couple and did both of them find mk are they married ?
They have been together for almost a year, but I don't think they are married, but maybe that could happen in the future??? But yeah MK found out a little after season 5 that they are together, that was also the same time he started calling Tang "Papa"
Anonimo ha chiesto: Has macaque added any personal items to the house? Like is he moved in? Have Wukong and macaque improved or changed anything else besides making the bed bigger?
Yes he did! Half of his belongins are in FFM, althought he's a little more minimalistic than Wukong. He also have been bothering Wukong to death so that he can finally organize his stuff (and they were roomates
Anonimo ha chiesto: I feel like if they were to play Minecraft or something macaque would be the base mom. He would be the only one to remember to farm food to not starve. The others would probably forget all the time that hunger is a thing in game. Wukong or Mk: oh dang does anyone have food I'm starving Macaque: (always brings extra for this reason) "sighs" yes
AH!
Anonimo ha chiesto: Remember the Minor Scale episode, from season 2? Where MK learn how to shrink himself? And thereâs also the final episode of that season where MK just grow very big to try to fight LBD. I just love that part of his power and I have seen very little people showing it. Like, sometimes that power can show up when the poor boy is experiencing overwhelming emotions that canât be contained anymore, or pure exhaustion. For example, Having many responsibility can lead to a lot of stress and exhaustion and at some point MK just canât do more and just become tiny, not able to do more. On the opposite, maybe he experience trauma again through a nightmare (like about azure for example) and the emotional burden is to much and he just becomes big because of that. You see my vision? I love sizeshifting base on emotions :)
Aww and i love emotion-based powers, they are just so easy to play around.
Anonimo ha chiesto: Tbh the show should let macaque have a motorcycle. Wukong gets to be passenger princess
Yesss
Anonimo ha chiesto: as we get into the colder months i like to imagine MKâs first winter coat and heâs all super fluffy and warm
Cool for the monkey parents, bad for pigsy and all the hair in the restaurant from sheeding.
Anonimo ha chiesto: I think it would be so funny if MKs rock hadn't been cracked and he'd been raised on FFM by wukong. If the same thing happens in the show macaque planning to take mks powers thinking he's just Wukongs student but then while macaque and MK are training. Since macaque is so close he notices his ears. (Being raised by a monkey he gets his form sooner) suddenly putting everything on hold busting into FFM and is like WUKONG WTF
There's a fic on AO3 about it it's A Son of Two Dads
@cheese-hommo ha chiesto: Hii, fiesta I want to say I love how you draw and everything, it just looks so cool and beautiful. Now, with the last chapter of Monkey parents Au and so, with the acknowledgement of the demon etiquette and else, DBK and Wukong really misunderstand the comfort scene for a confession? Or something more? It was just so funny seeing the two of them getting so embarrassed at the end đââď¸
Ah, 2 young demons in their true forms so close to each other, blushing? Scandalous.
Anonimo ha chiesto: I've seen Mk is his Lego merch- he gots a tooth gap- so does this MK have one or did he get it filled?
Wait that was a tooth gap??? I though it was like, a detail of the smile
Anonimo ha chiesto: đ¤ what is your official (if any) opinion on Ink MK? (as a character, plot device, literary parallel, what have you)
It's ok. I personally believe "shadow" version of one character with their own fears and doubts is a clique a little bit too much used. But they give a lot of angst.
Anonimo ha chiesto: Thoughts on Macaque knowing either Japanese or Korean due to him liking anime.
I'll give you one better. Macaque always traveled to Japan pretty frequently during the centuries. Then became a weeb
Anonimo ha chiesto: Maybe it's just me but Wukong looks a bit thicker each time, is it because his fur's thickening or is he getting chubbier ??????? Anyway luv ur art
Both.

Great points
Some corrections : Stella doesn't have real friends - she had people paid to be her ' friends ' ( similar case with Blair Waldorf ")
How do I know this? Well, I've came across horrible narcissists like her - they are driven largely by materialism and hate, they are spoiled rotten all their lives, and they usually have a team of flying monkeys.
Stella is a difficult person to like. A lot of people actually dislike someone like her, but many put up with her out of fear and/or pity
Think about it - can someone like Stella actually be happy?
I don't think so.
Stella wasn't just spoiled her whole life - she is also groomed to marry for power her whole life. And she had all these fantastical ideals of marrying for power....
Only to later on realize that marrying into the Goetias isn't all cracked up to be. So she took out her residual resentment on Stolas and later on her ex in laws and even her own daughter.
On top of that, while Andrealphus is raised to take over his parents' legions, Stella is mainly raised to be a ' royal brood mare '. That also contributed to Stella's residual resentment. But she can't take out her resentment on her parents or her brother, so she took it all out on Stolas and later on Octavia and her ex in laws. Even worse, I think Stella sadly will come to try brainwash Octavia to go through similar shit as she been through ( luckily, Octavia will wake up from it )
It's heartbreaking how Stella, Cash and Crimson all tried to brainwash their own children to go through similar shit as they did. Luckily, their kids have had enough of the nonsense and chose to break the cycles and heal, while came to pity those narc abusers for their misery cuz they CHOSE the path of hatred in regards to trauma, while their kids chose the path of healing.
As for Stolas, he may not have much exposure to non royal circles till Blitzo returned to his life. But I don't think he is friendless prior to that point. I bet he has only several friends, but at least those friendships are more genuine than Stella's 'cronies'
In The Circus, it is revealed that Stolas got siblings, with Vassago being the eldest of the bunch ( Vassago is the 1st of rhe Goetian Princes ). I'd like to think that his sibs do care for him in their own way but Stolas hasn't seen them as much during those 17 years he was so busy raising his daughter ( and also keeping Stella's overspending habits at bay so that she doesn't financially cripple his legions ). That whole divorce madness can have Stolas reconnecting with his sibs more than ever.
Stolas' parents and Stella's parents are friends/allies in their youth, so like many other parents of the old blue blood world, they thought it was a good idea to have their kids associate with each other for future alliances. And that's kinda how Stolas and Stella are helped set up to potentially marry in the first place ( they came to consent to it, but for different reasons ). And by the time Stella tried to kill Stolas, you bet your ass that Stolas' clan and Stella's clan went from allies to enemies. Very House of the Dragon coded here.
Also Stella may have some nods to Marie Antoinette - rarely ever opened a book, only ever really interested in partying and drinking, and doesn't really take her royal training seriously. I sometimes wonder how did Stolas' parents can become friends with Stella's parents in the first place before shit hits the fan. I bet Stolas sometimes wondered it too, and was relieved when his parents and Stellaâs parents' old friendship FINALLY fell apart
I bet like Marie Antoinette, Stella came to financially torment her in laws in extracting huge loans for her parties and refusing to return ( Stolas tried to persuade Stella otherwise but Stella violently rejected the persuasions ). And that is a start of the whole divorce affair.
And narcissists are often keeping their abuse on certain someone's behind close doors, and put on ( at least try ) a charming front to everyone else. And that's also kinda how Stella got away with the whole abuse for so long.....until that truth was exposed and all hell just broke lose
Narcissistic collapse is basically the ' final stage ' of a narcissist - I'm talking about mass destruction in most every way possible. That basically is a telltale sign of a narcissists downfall. And now we are seeing it with Stella.
As for Octavia, dear, sweet, Octavia, it's clear that Stolas works to shield her from Stella's influence. But I bet prior to the whole divorce thing, Stella feigned care for Octavia as a way to try brainwash her to one day turn against Stolas ( a common tactic amongst narcs ). But that didn't work because Octavia never truly formed a connection with Stella no matter how much she tried. Come the whole divorce thing, and Stella spent most of her time screaming, smashing things around, setting things on fire, get roaring drunk, while NEGLECTING HER OWN DAUGHTER'S FEELINGS. The only reason why Stolas agreed on shared custody thing for a time is cuz Stella's parents threatened him to do this, until he simply can't do it anymore cuz I don't think Octavia will have a good time at Stella's stays, sadly. Without Stolas around, Stella will take her hatred on the ' next best thing '. That would really crush Octavia and then Octavia finally tells Stolas everything ( she was threatened to do so otherwise by Stella ), and Stolas instantly ends the whole shared custody arrangement. I bet eventually Stolas found himself reluctantly sending Octavia way to stay at any of his sibs or even his parents' places until the whole madness blows over.
Octavia deep down knows the truth. She is just confused. The truth will bring her clarity that she needs
What I agree though - Stolas and Octavia NEED to get outside of the royal circles more. If Charlie and Emily can do it, so can they. They are going to have that new found family with IMP that they so needed, and Octavia can take a break from royal stuff after all that - Stolas will want to wait until Octavia feels ready to take over his legions. And as for the Ars Goetia, things will have to change in their system so that no other Stella can be produced from it again.
Octavia NEEDS to stay away from Stella ASAP.
Also regarding Stolas' clan, they ALL need therapy. And Vassago, being the eldest of the Goetian Princes and an ally of IMP, is gonna be a major help to IMP, and a slap to Andrealphus and Stella's faces. How DARE the Crown Prince of the Ars Goetia side with those ' lowly peasants ' ? they think
Then again if your ex in laws in tow tried to have the rest of your bloodline killed, you got to get all the help you can get.
Paimon got to learn the hard way and have huge shocks in his life, and so will whoever Stolas' mom is. ( I made some separate posts on my HCs on Stolas' mom )
Yeah so in short, Stolas and Octavia needed some real new friends, and narcissists like Stella are bound to have a great downfall where everyone else came to turn against them. I know, Ive seen that first hand
Also Stolas needs to believe in his powers more outside of the Grimoire. And IMP definitely can help Octavia out of the gutter of despair. IMP is SO gonna beat up Stolas' ex in laws in tow for what they have done to Stolas and the rest of his clan.
Loona and Octavia becoming sisters is another slap to Team Stella's face - how DARE Octavia find real companionship in a ' lowly hellhound '? Octavia would tell those classists bigots any sort of ' fuck you ' and tell them in their faces ( especially Stella ) that she pities them cuz the endless chase of materialism leaves them all miserable.
I'd love to see IMP being able to curb stomp Team Stella in non magical fights and such.
That would be CLASSIC. It would be a start for non royals in Hell to finally rise against Stella's clan and completely changes the perceptions of Hell power strata - because Stella and Andrealphus are actually dog shit in non magical combat. And that would make Team Stella a laughing stock even amongst royal circles in Hell
Stolas has always been "Single"...
One thing I've noticed people say that genuinely disturb me is when they think Stolas should learn how to be single...
Guys, Stolas has been "single" his entire fucking life.
On paper, he may have been "married".
But Stolas was married to a partner that treated him like shit, and forced him to live a life constrained from being his gay ass self.
People are treating the relationship he had with Blitz as them being in an actual romantic relationship, but as Blitz stated...
To Blitz, he and Stolas were never in an actual romantic relationship because let's face it, it's true.
Blitz simply operated under the terms that Stolas had set for them in their full moon romps.
Remember guys....
This man is an emotionally-inept dumbass, who automatically assumes the worse. Of course, he's not going to see any of Stolasâs invites as anything other than Stolas just wanting him for his body.
Is it right? No, of course not.
But this is Blitz, and I'm not expecting a man who has been suppressing every single major emotion and traumatic event in his life for 15 years (prior to GF) to pick up any of the hints Stolas was dropping. He's a dumbass.
So yes, Stolas has never been in an actual relationship, and I don't think he needs to learn how to be "single" when he's been single his entire fucking life.
The man doesn't need to learn to be happy alone when he's always been alone!
"You wanna know what I want? I want to know what it's like, to not be alone. I want to be someone's someone. I want to feel wanted. But like, in a romantic way, like I'm standing out in the rain at a train station and someone is shouting: âHarriet! Donât get on that train, itâs going to London and I cannot be without you!â"
"I just... want someone to care if I stay or go. I want someone to want... me! To want to see me. To hold me. To look at me and think "You're the only one I want!" [sheds tears] "I desire to hold you and talk to you, and never let you feel so...""
So yeah, I really don't think Stolas needs to learn to be happy alone. He knows what it's like to be alone, he's always been alone.
~~~~~~~~~~
And you know what I want?
Maybe I just want, this sad gay đŚ to give this equally as sad and lonely pan đŚ another chance...
Because, you know, even though he's an emotionally-inept dumbass and a motherfucker...
He's charismatic and charming...
He's good at fighting...
He's protective...
He knows how to have fun...
He's got the most beautiful smile...
He's hot as fuck...
And I also heard...
He's got a pretty cool family.

All-Inclusive // Jimmy Uso x Reader
Authorâs Note -> Ahhhh I love this one đ¤ Been working on this for a bit so I hope yâall like it! Also: Iâm thinking about making a tag list for my stories⌠is that something yâall would be interested in? Lmk and as always, happy reading!Â
Plot -> You knew being at an all-inclusive suite included everything like drinks, food, etc., but you didnât know youâd find yourself getting even more.
Pairings -> Jimmy Uso x Fem!Reader (Y/N)
Warnings -> Cursing, Fingering, Oral Sex (M!Receiving, F!Receiving), Choking, P in V, Creampie, Not Proofread, MDNI
Word Count -> 2.8k
âA closet full of clothes, and yet I never know what to wear to these things,â you muttered to yourself, sifting through hangers trying to find something you could work with. Articles of clothing scattered the floor around you as you stood frustrated, trying to throw something halfway decent together. It was always like this for these events, you always knew exactly how to do your hair and makeup but for some reason the outfit was something you could never figure out. You and your boyfriend, Jonathan, were going to a WWE Premium Live Event, and since he wasnât booked for this card you decided to get a suite with some other wrestlers and their spouses to watch it. Well, maybe, if you could find something to wear.
âBaby!â Jon calls from downstairs, âwe gotta go! Weâre gonna be late, you almost ready?â He makes his way to you in the closet, noticing you were still trying to get yourself together.
âGo ahead, Iâll head there in a bit. Still tryna find an outfit,â you sighed, clearly annoyed at yourself. Jon wraps his arms around your waist from behind and plants a kiss to your cheek. âAlright, baby girl, just donât take too long, okay? I know Bianca and Jade are dying to see you, itâs been a minute since yâall been together.â
âI know, I know, Iâll be right behind you, I promise,â you smiled at him as he gave you another kiss and left for the arena, while you went back to sorting through your closet. After about 10 minutes of staring at the same clothes on hangers you were close to texting Jon to let him know it wasnât happening tonight, when something caught your eye. A black silk button up was nearly hidden behind all the other clothes hanging up, but you saw it. And it would go perfect with this new skirt I bought too. Grabbing it from the rack, you were able to get a closer look. It was for sure oversized, and you were trying to remember where you couldâve gotten it from. It didnât matter anyways, because you were already throwing it on along with the new skirt and a simple pair of black heels. You made your way to the full-length mirror in your closet, adjusting the buttons on the top to tease your cleavage modestly, but enough to make them noticeable. Giving yourself one last up-down in the mirror, you were satisfied. More than satisfied, actually, you looked stunning. You shook your head and laughed, the annoyance and stress of the past hour and a half feeling silly now that you had finally found something to wear and it paid off. You grab your phone off the dresser and call a driver to come get you, grabbing a small bag to take with you as you head downstairs and out the door.
âY/N, oh my god, girl! You finally made it!â Bianca yelled excitedly as her and Jade ran to the door of the suite to greet you. âItâs been so long since weâve seen you,â Bianca gave you a strong hug and rocked the two of you back and forth, âhow have you been?!â
âItâs been too damn long!â Jade exclaimed, âand can I just say⌠you look hot. Jon said you were having wardrobe issues and, honey, looking at you I just donât think thatâs true,â the three of you laughed.
âNo, seriously, I was! I damn near canceled because I couldnât find anything, but finding this top hidden in the back of the closet saved it. I donât even remember where I got it honestly, I donât normally buy stuff this oversized but, hey, I guess my forgetfulness finally came in clutch,â you chuckled.Â
âAnd did, you look incredible, babe. Now câmon, letâs go mingle with everybody!â Bianca and Jade locked your guysâs arms as the three of you hopped around from group to group in the suite, chatting with some new faces and some you hadnât seen in a very long time. Your eyes tried searching for your boyfriend, but you couldnât seem to find him anywhere so you assumed he had gone to the restroom or maybe was notified he had to do something for the show last minute and shrugged it off. After a while though, you had to pee so you excused yourself from the group and walked across the hall to the restrooms. You did your business and washed your hands, drying them and making your way back to the suite. You opened the bathroom door to be greeted by your boyfriend.
âOh, hey, babe! I was just looking for you, where have you be-,â you were cut off by Jon stepping into the restroom with you, pinning you against the wall and locking the door behind him. You gasped as your back collided with the hard surface behind you as Jon stared down at you with an intensity you had never seen before. His eyes trailed down your body to take in what you were wearing, coming back up and staring directly at the shirt you were wearing.Â
âI see you found my shirt,â he growled, and your memory clicked in from a week prior. ***FLASHBACK***
âBabe! Have you seen my button up? The silk one my mom got me a while back?â Jonathan shouted from the bedroom as you were applying your lipstick, getting ready for date night. âUm, no I donât think so⌠did you check the laundry?âÂ
âYeah, itâs not in there, canât find it. Iâll just wear something else, donât worry about it!â
***END FLASHBACK***
âI- I thought it was mine, I found it in the back of my closet. Iâm sorryâŚâ you muttered, nervously, not wanting him to be mad at you for âstealingâ his shirt. âOh, baby, Iâm not mad,â Jon paused, lowering his head closer to your trembling lips, âbut if youâre really sorryâŚâ he inches closer, his breath fanning over your cheeks as his lips brush yours, âthen show me.â
You wrap your arms around his neck and pull him in, closing the distance between you. He kissed you with a desire you had never seen from him before, hungrily brushing his tongue against yours as he asserted his dominance over you. His fingers worked on the buttons of your (his) shirt, but left the clothing sitting on your shoulders as the cool air conditioning hit your nipples, hardening them instantly. You shuddered at the feeling, as his hands hiked your shirt up and kneaded your ass as he planted kisses along the base of your neck. âYou know⌠I love it⌠when you wear my shirts⌠so fuckinâ sexy.â You moaned as his lips drifted down your neck and to your chest, as his hands fondled your waist and inched closer to your growing wetness. The tips of his fingers teased the front of your panties, toying with the material as you bucked your hips desperately for any sort of friction. âPatience, baby, imma give it to you,â you werenât listening, too consumed in your neediness for him, and continued to squirm underneath him. Youâre snapped out of your trance by Jon pinning your arms above your head and growling in your ear. âWhat I say, huh? Keep still âfore I give you somethinâ to squirm about, and you ainât gonna like it.â You whimper and nod in response, trying to hold it together as you fight every urge to act on your own desperation. Jon holds your wrists above your head with his left hand, using the right to slide your panties to the side and dive his fingers into your wetness. You trembled, sighing and throwing your head back to hit the wall as his digits caressed your dripping folds. He was torturing you, edging his fingers closer and closer to your entrance but never slipping inside, instead opting to watch your face twist and contort at the way a simple touch from him had you so riled up. He loved the way your breathing would stagger as he teased you and watched as your eyes rolled to the back of your head, giving into his touch.Â
âMmm, baby please,â you cried, the sounds of your whines echoing around you. âYou sorry, hmm?â He teased, brushing his thumb across your clit, causing you to jolt in pleasure. âY-yes, fuckk baby, Iâm so- Iâm sorry,â you hissed.
âYou gonna have to be more convincing than thatâ You whined loudly at his response, turning into a loud and dragged out moan as he slipped a finger inside. Your pussy immediately tightened around it, squeezing it as he pumped in and out of you. Your eyes rolled into your skull as he carefully worked his magic on you. Your fingers gripped onto the blazer he was wearing, trying to cling onto anything as he drove you further into pure, unadulterated bliss. His finger picked up pace and glided deeper and deeper inside you, brushing against the soft padding of your g-spot as he curled it. You felt yourself stretch around him again with the addition of a second finger, your walls spasming around both digits as he mercilessly thrusted his fingers inside of you.Â
âO-oh my god, Jon I-, Iâm so c-close,â you moaned as his lips found their way back to your neck again. âHold it. Youâre not cumming âtil I say you can, got me? Now tell me how sorry you are.â
âI- Iâm sorry, baby, Iâm so so sorry. Now please, Iâm gonna-â
âUh uh, not sorry enough. Get on your knees and convince me.â He withdrew his fingers from you faster than you anticipated, nearly making your knees give out in the process, but you obeyed him like the good girl you were. You dropped to your knees in an instant, hands immediately grabbing for his belt and zipper, as you worked quickly to free him from the constraints of his pants. You could tell from the prominent bulge that lined his boxers he was painfully hard as you palmed him, Jon letting out a low groan and instinctively grinding himself into your hand. âFuck baby, donât tease. You know ion like that shit.â You pulled down his boxers to reveal his cock and salivated at the sight; the veins along his shaft prominent as his length twitched upon release from its imprisonment. You looked up at the man who stood before you, his eyes darkened and glazed over with lust as he watched you coat his dick in your saliva before taking his tip in your mouth. You sucked lightly and gave kitten licks to him, knowing how sensitive his head was and watching as he threw his head back in ecstasy and released your name from his lips in low moans. Your mouth worked its way down his shaft, hollowing your cheeks as you took him inch by inch, his hands grasping your hair as you took as much of him as you could.
âMmm, fuck ma, lemme fuck that pretty lil mouth of yours. Always so good for me.â You gave a slight nod, relaxing your jaw and opening your mouth more as his hips made slow and steady movements. You gagged on him, but focused on the breathing from your nose as he drilled himself into your throat. Tears brimmed your eyes, threatening to spill onto your cheeks as he continued to thrust faster and faster, making you gag on him more and more. âYou love it when I use your pretty little mouth like this, hmm? How sorry are you now?â You moaned around him as he showed no mercy on your throat and gripped your hair, and watching his face told you he was reaching the edge. Surprisingly, he released himself from your mouth with a pop and helped you up, still dizzy from the assault his cock was performing on your mouth.Â
âI still donât think youâre that sorry, you wanna prove it to me? Hop up on this counter and spread your legs for me, pretty girl, imma fuck you âtil I believe it.â You hopped on the counter of the bathroom sink and opened yourself to him completely, letting him see your glistening folds aching and ready for him. He pumped himself a few times before lining himself up and slamming into you, giving you no room to adjust to him as he ruthlessly pounded into you and had you screaming his name. His hand quickly met your mouth, covering it to keep you quiet as he leaned in and started fucking deeper into you. You were seeing stars, moaning into his hand and raking your nails across his shoulders as he drove into you at an unforgiving pace.Â
âShit, Y/N, so fuckinâ tight fâme. Fit me like a fuckinâ glove. Canât get enough of this pussy, baby,â he moaned, continuing his fast-paced thrusts. âYou wanna tell me how sorry you are now, baby girl? You think youâre sorry enough for me to let you cum?â He removed the hand covering your mouth and brought it down to your clit, rubbing slow circles into the sensitive bud.
âH-holy s-shit, mmm, fuck baby I- Iâm s-sorry! Iâm sorry I-, oh my god, Iâm so fuckinâ sorry, baby,â you cried, âp-please believe me, Iâm so sorry. Iâm gonna-â âYou think you deserve it, hmm?â He wraps his hand around your throat, gently squeezing as you let out a strangled moan. âGo ahead baby, you think you deserve this nut?â
âY-yes, ohh fuck, yes I deserve it. B-been so good f-fâyou.â You choked out, consumed completely in Jon and the pleasure he was providing you.
âYouâve been such a good girl⌠you really are sorry, huh?â You nodded frantically, letting soft moans fall off your lips. âLet go, baby, cum all over this dick fâme. Lemme see you.â
The orgasm that erupts from the pit of your stomach is explosive enough to make supernovas look small in comparison. Your body and pussy convulse around him as you scream his name and release yourself on his cock. Your vision goes black as youâre overwhelmed with an intense feeling of pleasure as your juices coat his dick and lower abdomen, squirting all over him. He watches you as you let go, taking in every detail of your mouth agape and chanting his name, the furrow of your brows, your eyes squeezing shut, and most of all your walls constricting around his cock, coaxing him to his own release. He coats your insides with a loud groan, releasing himself completely into your aching pussy as he slowly pistons himself into you to ride out both of you twoâs orgasms. Soft moans and pants escape the both of you, coming down from what felt like the most intense release the two of you have shared. You both sat for a moment, evening your breathing and taking the time to fully recover before he pulled out of you and moved your panties back to their rightful position, his cum leaking out of you and soaking them in the process. He placed a gentle kiss on your forehead and you smiled up at him, softly kissing his lips before jumping down and adjusting yourself in the mirror.
You both desperately tried to cover up the events of what just happened, feeling satisfied and unlocking the door to the restroom before attempting to sneak out, but Bianca being in front of the door stopped you both in your tracks.
âOh, thank god, Iâve had to pee for the past 30 minutes,â she teased, wiggling her eyebrows at the both of you, âdidnât know Y/N needed help using the bathroom, Jon.â The two of you blushed, knowing your attempt to hide your escapade had failed miserably. âNow get yâall horny asses inside, youâre lucky they didnât start filming the live segment in the suite yet, or the TV audience wouldâve heard quite the show⌠now, if youâll excuse me,â she winked, hurrying past you both as you and your boyfriend exchanged a quick glance before sneaking your way back in the suite.

Critics Reactions to Jonathan Bailey's perfomance as Fiyero (Master Post)
âDancing Through Life,â on the other hand, is the adaptationâs biggest musical accomplishment. Although Wicked is primarily about the relationship between these two women, the charming prince Fiyero always threatens to steal the show, and never more so now that Bridgerton heartthrob Jonathan Bailey is playing him in a dazzling blue/gold suit. Setting this song in a library full of rotating, cylindrical shelves allows the dancers to really show off their moves, while Bailey succeeds at infusing the number with his personality as he flirts with men and women alike. Unless Wicked really hits big with the Academy, itâs unlikely that Bailey will score a Best Supporting Actor nomination at the Oscars, but surely he deserves some honor for being the sexiest actor on Earth at the moment â hope youâre taking notes for next year, PEOPLE! [x]
And Bailey, from his boot-toe book choreography to ovation-worthy gymnastics, is hoofing his way through every step of âDancing Through Life;â there will be deserved awards attention coming Grande and Erivoâs way for Wicked, and Bailey should be as much a part of the conversation. I canât remember the last time a performance was so instantly charismatic, the kind of movie-star heistâhe nearly runs away with the film during that musical numberâthat makes going to the cinema so exciting. [x]
A character I was worried about going into this. Jonathan Bailey, he plays Fiyero, who is this kind of just over the top cocky, flamboyant, kind of douchey, but in a fun way character. And thereâs just so much there that it could be really easy to mess up. And I didnât know that he was into song and dance performance, because Iâve only seen him in Bridgerton, so I didnât know what else was in his repertoire. But I feel like he absolutely crushed that character. You cannot help but love everything he does when heâs on screen. He nails it. [x]
Jonathan Bailey oozes sex appeal and charisma as Fiyero Tigelaar in an utterly swoon-worthy performance, unleashing his West End talents with the dazzling âDancing Through Lifeâ sequence that cements himself as a true superstar, while his chemistry with both Erivo and Grande is off the charts. [x]
I have to give Jonathan Bailey his freaking flowers. I thought he was going to be good. He got an Olivier award for Company and if you haven't, there is a video of him singing The Last Five Years from years agoâŚ.So I was like I think he's going to do a good job, he's also so charming and everybody loves him. I was not prepared to see what we got. The perfomance, the vocals, the gymnastics, the charm, the way he says 'you're perfect' is just engrained in my brain in the right way. And he's soâŚlike he would have chemistry with a chair, I'm convinced. Everyone in 'Dancing Through Life' is now pregnant and so am I. His entire arc of Fiyero being like the daft person and then becoming who he becomes is so clear and every choice, and look, nuances he hasâŚit is calculated but effortless. [x]
Jonathan Bailey delights in the supporting cast as her love interest Fiyero, also offering a fantastic interpretation of someone who hasnât been called upon too often to be serious but might be willing to give it a try. [x]
âDancing Through Lifeâ triumphantly translates the joy of seeing Wicked live: Dancers perform acrobatics in rotating circular bookshelves, Jonathan Bailey (who I swear has chemistry with every single person on the planet) taps his way across books with a flippancy perfectly suited to the charismatic prince Fiyero, and the ensemble works (and sings!) in harmony. [x]
Jonathan Bailey uncorks an outrageous scene-stealer as the heterocamp Fiyero, a performance to put alongside Cary Elwes in The Princess Bride. [x]
Chu's usual choreographer, Christopher Scott, delivers again with vibrant, inspired moves, particularly in the elaborate "Dancing Through Life," which takes place in the school's rotating, multilevel library. "Bridgerton" star Jonathan Bailey gets a chance to show off his musical theater background here, and he's terrifically charming as the glib Prince Fiyero, the object of both Elphaba and Galinda's romantic interests. [x]
The true surprise, even more than Grande, is Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, the charming prince with hidden depths that both Galinda and Elphaba gravitate towards. Bailey has such a light comic touch to him and his performance of âDancing Through Lifeâ might be the best part of the movie, and the most ambitious set piece in the film. [x]
The true standouts are three-fold, with Grande, Erivo, and Bailey embracing the tonal shifts with unbridled glee. [âŚ] Fiyero has major bisexual vibes, and chemistry with every single character. Baileyâs take on âDancing Through Lifeâ lets the Olivier Award-winning actor unleash his sex appeal on a library full of unsuspecting Oz-ites. [x]
Jonathan Bailey adds renegade bravado as the devil-may-care Prince Fiyero, selling the character's journey from apathy to activism with aplomb. [x]
Elsewhere, British heartthrob Jonathan Bailey steals the show as the vain Prince Fiyero Tigelaar, a love interest for both young witches. Bailey effortlessly dances and sings his way through the filmâs most demanding musical numbers. [x]
It's Jonathan Bailey who threatens to steal the show though, instantly charming during Flyero's meet-cute with Elphaba. Anybody not swooning already will be with his excellent 'Dancing Through Life' number, Bailey's palpable charisma shining through the extended number which culminates in a reimagined Ozdust Ballroom. [x]
One more: Jonathan Bailey. His dashing Prince Fiyero is one charming prince, so cheeky that he will have boys and girls everywhere swooning. And swoon they do, within the film â itâs a small thing, and not to get all #RepresentationMatters about it, but I was delighted to see Wicked make very clear that both male and female Shiz students are equally lustful whenever Fiyeroâs around. There are some deliciously flirtatious moments between Fiyero and some guys during âDancing Through Life,â and it had me thinking about the fact that, for as fabulously gay as musical theater so often is, you donât usually see that kind of thing in a massive mainstream film. Kudos all around. [x]
The standout to me: Iâm going to go with Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero. He pops up into the film and immediately comes off so cocky, but so charming and likable. Just everybody he talks to, he has this fun rapport and chemistry with them, and just brings to life every scene that heâs in, whether it is just dialogue, joking, dramatic or his big dance number in the library. Heâs so good. And itâs one of those things where I am not super familiar with him outside of this, and you just see him and you go - man, that guy is a star, this guy is really good. [x]
And while Wicked is all about is two leading ladies, we must spare a moment or several for Jonathan Baileyâs virile, twinkly Fiyero, who quite literally leaps onto the screen on his horse while clad in tight britches and sturdy riding boots. Heâs charming in a way I never found the rather bland character to be onstage, bringing vibrancy to the role as a big screen heartthrob who tears up the floor (and library books) with his aggressive dancing. Now it makes sense that he could turn the head of both Glinda and Elphaba. A West End veteran himself, Bridgerton actor Bailey also boasts an exemplary voice â the casting directors truly spoiled fans here â and there are no exceptions made when every number is treated as a potential show-stopper. [x]
In terms of supporting performances, Baileyâs absolutely dashing and magnetic, giving a star-making performance â a la Rupert Everettâs in MY BEST FRIENDâS WEDDING. He lights up the screen as the object of romantic affection in screwball-esque scenes shared with Grande as much as he does during the library set number leading âDancing Through Life.â [x]
Bailey is a charming Fiyero, using all of his Bridgerton swagger in exactly the right ways. He arrives well into the term, a transfer student who has reached the end of the number of schools to be kicked out of. Fiyero is sometimes treated as a throwaway characterâthe generically hot love interest for two girls to feud over. But this Baileyâs Fiyero will not be so easily dismissed and his âDancing Through Life,â plays well when accented by talented professional dancers that make the entire scene pop. [x]
Then thereâs Jonathan Bailey, who manages to steal the show from his very entrance. Not since Dan Stevens first showed up in The Guest, or perhaps when Glenn Powell out-cruised Tom in Top Gun: Maverick, has there been this much tantalizing testosterone employed in such an effective way. Baileyâs bravura take on Fiyero Tigelaar, the Winkie Prince who sings about âDancing Through Life,â is by far one of Chuâs most accomplished moments of filmmaking, managing to make the character simultaneously seductive and disarmingly silly. Itâs also a moment in Wickedâs storytelling where thereâs fun to be had, and the massive sequence is absolutely a joy that by far exceeds the smaller scope of the on-stage presentation. [x]
Jonathan Bailey is so very âthat guy.â His Fiyero doesnât have the foppish facade of the original. His portrayal makes us aware heâs more complex than he appears from the moment we meet him and his talking horse, but as a Prince Charming, his rizz is high. Who wouldnât fall in love with Bailey (and who hasnât)? [x]
Bailey as Fiyero is the ultimate casting as the Lord becomes a Prince. He delves into Fiyeroâs shallowness and his moments between Elphaba and Galinda are so starkly different as Bailey plays into both relationships organically with wonderful chemistry between all three. [x]
Jonathan Bailey has a standout musical number with âDancing Through Life,â and he manages to have chemistry with everyone on screen as the handsome Fiyero. Heâs fiercely flirtatious and fun to watch. [x]
Jonathan Bailey could have chemistry with an inanimate object. That man absolutely shines in the role of Fiyero. [x]
But, itâs Baileyâs Fiyero (surprise!) who steals the movieâs second-best scene: the elaborately choreographed âDancing Through Life.â [x]
Galinda immediately sets her sights on Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey, bringing an outstanding amount of Kenergy to his role). [âŚ] And there are certain sequences, specifically Galindaâs signature number âPopularâ and Fiyeroâs âDancing Through Lifeâ, where everything does click together nicely and the film suddenly sparks into life. [x]
Jonathan Bailey is absolutely swoony as the flirty Fiyero. While Wicked: Part One is just the beginning of his story, you can already see how Elphabaâs impact is starting to influence him to think more of others versus being shallow and self-consumed. [x]
Jonathan Baileyâs Fiyero is a joy to watch, and you can see in his physicality and the sparkle in his eyes who he is destined to become. Once we see him dance and sing, he sweeps everyone off their feet. [x]
Fiyero gets one of the filmâs most appealing numbers, brilliantly delivered by Bailey, âDancing Through Lifeâ, as the dashing Prince disturbs the peace of Shizâs library to entice his classmates to join him for an evening of fun at âthe most swankified place in townâ, the Ozdust Ballroom. With Bailey gleefully taking on Christopher Scott characterful, silky smooth, choreography, he goes on to offer us seductive glimpses of the more substantial man hiding behind his mask of superficiality. [x]
I canât say the word scene-stealer without talking about Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero. Give Jonathan Bailey awards, give him every role ⌠for being so amazing in this movie. He is just so effortlessly cool and charming and funny, but I love the heart that he gives certain moments ⌠Fiyero just lives with me now ⌠He enters this movie giving me one of my favourite performances. [x]
The supporting cast proves equally magnificent. Jonathan Baileyâs Fiyero exudes oodles of charisma and a strong voice, easily proving he can handle Christopher Scottâs limber choreography while simultaneously putting his own stamp on it. While his character plays a more major role in the second film, his introduction, through the stunning âDancing Through Lifeâ number, leaves a lasting impression and makes for a compelling counterpoint for both leading ladies. [x]
Not to be outdone, Jonathan Bailey of Bridgerton fame plays Fiyero. The heartthrob, almost brainless hunk, who arrives at Shiz and drives so many of the students crazy with lust. Now Baileyâs carefree, but passionate, and decisive in both singing and choreography. With his signature song âDancing Through Lifeâ, Bailey gets to showcase some awesome footwork, along with amazing vocals, for a scene that is just mesmerizing thanks to the energy and the camera work. [x]
That said, it's BRIDGERTON (2020) star Jonathan Bailey who winds up stealing most of the scenes he's in as the Prince, Fiyero Tigelaar. Bailey is fantastic as the Prince, bringing an entertaining sense of levity and delight to the film. This is to the point that Bailey's absence in the film's finale is quite noticeable, with the film feeling somewhat dull without his presence. [x]
Elsewhere, Jonathan Bailey is charismatic as the dumb-but-charming Fiyero, and thereâs a campness to his song-and-dance number, âDancing Through Lifeâ that will stir the loins in a whole range of viewers. [x]
One standout is Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, the Winkie prince who quickly makes a mark on Shiz after his enrollment. Bailey is not only charming and funny throughout, but exudes an energy that many of the other supporting players simply lack. [x]
Supporting roles are strong too, most notably from Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero, full of bravado and fun, as well as a hefty dose of yearning â and fans of Bridgerton will know that no one does yearning like Bailey. His 'Dancing Through Life' is a blast but he's just as powerful in the film's quieter moments as his chemistry with Elphaba burns. [x]
As for the supporting cast, Bailey absolutely shines in his biggest film role to date. Much like Galinda, Fiyero is initially privileged and arrogant, but Bailey instils him with so much undeniable charm that you can easily understand why literally everyone at Shiz is falling under his spell. The seeds are sewn for Fiyero to open up in Part Two, but, for now, Bailey nails it as a seemingly one-dimensional hunk with hidden layers to explore. [x]
The filmâs biggest strength is its perfectly cast triple-threat performers â Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba Thropp, Ariana Grande-Butera as Glinda Upland and Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero Tigelaar, a handsome prince whose subplot is best not spoiled. [âŚ] The charismatic Bailey, Emmy-nominated for âFellow Travelers,â is known as the oldest son Anthony in the âBridgertonâ TV series, but in England, he is also an accomplished musical theater performer. He won an Olivier Award as Best Supporting Actor in a Musical for playing Jamie in the revival of âCompanyâ in 2018. Fleet-footed and a nimble vocalist, he gives Fiyero an allure that wasnât initially apparent on stage. [x]
Meanwhile, Jonathan Bailey channels his incredible Kenergy to bring the effortlessly charming Fiyero to the screen, with his fun take on âDancing Through Lifeâ almost stealing the show (someone please give him his own musical!) [x]
The same goes for Fiyero as Jonathan Bailey who makes his male lead into a much stronger character by leaning into the sobering moments as strongly as the lighter ones. [x]
Another pleasant surprise was Bailey as Fiyero. Best-known for his role in âBridgerton,â Bailey isnât as well-known for his singing chops, but he deftly carries one the most dazzling musical numbers of the whole show, âDancing Through Life,â serving up both impressive vocals and dancing. Beyond his musical talent, Bailey is charming and roguish as the Winkie prince, while hinting that thereâs a little more to him beyond his care-free persona. Bailey also has the unique ability to have chemistry with practically anyone heâs a romantic lead with, so he has great chemistry with both Grande and Erivo. The few, briefly swoon-worthy interactions between Fiyero and Elphaba specifically will likely have fans excited to see Fiyero and Elphabaâs relationship develop in âWicked: Part 2.â [x]

for some reason this second section of songs are making cpfs go wild đ
unlike the first set, which i think could have their cpns of their own but was really more of social/life commentary on xzâs side. these next ones, are superior. atleast to me. we donât have the 3rd set yet so i can still be wrong. and i mean sweets aside, the 3 songs released today are instant favorites. i expect people to make bjyx fanvids with lighthouse as the bgm please do not disappoint me. lol.
what we first noticed was xz posting the qq links to the songs using a photo (p1). in it, you clearly see the hands of the watch point to 10 and 5 which is his bday. it made us remember all those times they showed off their watch with questionable numbers visible ( p3 and p4 because xz is not subtle at all ) . coincidentally, a 10:05 timed watch (p2) was also seen in wybâs most recent NYE performance.
shut up you two. please. đŹ
the title track of this section â DRIFTINGâs concept sounds like itâs someone exploring an unfamiliar environment. which made is think of wybâs recent show exploring the unknown. the choice of words and imagery he wants to show is also interesting. take note that xz wrote this song.
Lying on an island and waking up
The top of the cliff, tear it off and go with the flow.
while itâs pretty obvious that this means more than going out in the wilderness in the literal sense when you take the song as a whole â the fact that it fits what wyb has recently done is đ. can someone please make a video too of ETU with drifting as the background. it would be perfect. thank you. to me, this is xz drawing inspiration from wybâs experience and combining that to his own âexplorationâ and drifting in this world.
NOW TIME TO TALK ABOUT THE TRACK LIGHTHOUSE. Personally, itâs my fave and i think itâs the most romantic and bjyx-y of them all. đ
first of all the imagery of a lighthouse and the sense of it being that only light you see amidst the storm. that no matter what happens, he can look at that. the timing of yibo posing with a light for GRA is making me overthink too. lol. also wybâs album cover for twenty was a light bulb thing. that kind of symbolism really speaks to them.
and as for the lyrics lemme just leave this select lines for us to all cry about ok?
For whom to move forward? Even if there are thorns under my feet, I'll stay with you till the end.
Where is the storm now? I go against the wind I'm barefoot and go through the crowdâŚ. An island in the dark, We must also go against the tide.
Run towards the lighthouse in the darkness. Even if it rains heavily, Let's go, let's go, we have to go home. Just live hard like this. I only see the lighthouse
The lighthouse in my heart. It will never go out.
songs can be interpreted in different ways and can go in a totally different direction from what the lyricist intended but i am understanding this in a romantic sense. not the cutesy kind of romance, but the one that has hardships, is not easy, but you know that you have each other. the lighthouse in his heart will never go out. in reality, their life is not easy. but they are stronger together. even if there are thorns under my feet iâll stay with you till the end.
I CANâT EVEN. AHHHHHHH đđđđ
and oh, talking about the rain and going home. more on the going home part, people are bringing back favorite line among cpfs from an LRLG contribution. supposedly said by yibo.
When I called, I said it was fine, but as I talked, it became like
đ˘ : I want to go home. Come and take me home.
I was kinda nervous for track 8 cause that Bo. LOL. the song is also good but i donât see much CPN from it. or maybe not yet. lol. i just hope they get to have time where they can have night walks together đ
-END.
#yizhan#bjyx#there is no science here iâm just clowning like i always do#accio victuuri translation

james coming home from siriusâ house the first time he smoked weed, giggling as he trips over the toy his dog brings over, messily petting her head when he rights himself.
âgood girl,â he says grinning stupidly.
when he passes by the living room, his mother calls his name.
he was on his way to his bedroom, hoping both his parents were already asleep. he curses silently to himself and tries to remember what his face normally looks like.
âis this how fast i normally breathe?â he thinks to himself. it feels a bit fast.
his mother has always been a bit of a night owl, despite being an early riser. this was something she passed down to him. in the living room, james finds her reading a book. itâs the one on the harpyâs sheâd recently received from him as a birthday gift.
she looks up from it knowingly and says, âgo to bed. try not to wake your father. you didnât drive did you?â
james shakes his head. euphemia looks at him a bit longer and sighs. returning to her book, âi love you. goodnight.â
he says the words back warmly, shoulders going lax and breath returning.
on jamesâ way back to the darkened hallway, she adds, âthere are cupcakes on the counter. you can have one. one, james.â
he grins, padding over to kiss her forehead as she quietly shoos him away.
in bed, cupcake crumbs all over his sleep shirt, he dials regulusâ number.
the younger boy picks up on the second ring.
âjames, if you arenât dying, then youâre single. so help meââ
james cuts him off with soft laughter. âi love you.â
the other end of the line is quiet. then, âi love you too,â and, âi miss you,â a moment after that.
james sighs, brushing the crumbs onto his bed and turning on to the clean side, his arm propped beneath him.
james pauses, biting at his lip, nervous. regulus says his name over the line, prompting him. âi got high at siriusâ.â
this time, regulus the one who is quiet. james feels nauseous. then, suddenly regulus is laughing.
âbarty convinced me to try some of pandoraâs edibles last week,â he confesses through giggles.
james gasps, âregulus! you spend two months at a boarding school and somehow youâre more corrupt now?â
regulus is still laughing as james adds, âwhat kind of stuff are they teaching you there?â
ânothing interesting, i swear.â
james whines, suddenly needy, âcanât believe youâre a hour away and i canât kiss you right now. we should be kissing. we should always be kissing.â
regulus sighs, âwhat about breathing?â
âwhat about it?â
they fall asleep on the phone in the midst of talking about all the things theyâre going to do when they are together again.
maybe they both have a new hobby now.

Why demigods have certain powers: a theory (long post)
I have this theory that the reason demigods have specific strengths, or display one aspect of their parents powers over others is due in large part to what aspect their godly parent visited their mortal parent in AND how their mortal parent perceived them. TLDR at the end. Idk if this is a common theory, but Iâve never seen it written out before.
Half of this is pretty much so canon, in the way we know that Greek vs Roman demigods are different because they arenât the same exact gods. The best example of this is Nico vs Hazel, where Nico is a child of Hades, who is the god if the Dead where Hazel is a child of Pluto, the god of the Underworld and Wealth. This affects their powers. We will come back to them.
However, we also know that demigods donât necessarily inherit all of their parents dominions. For example, Will, Kayla, and Austin are all children of Apollo, but each have very different specialties. Will has power over healing and light, Kayla over archery, and Austin over music. Apollo is god of all three, but they all have very defined areas of interest and talent.
I think what powers come to a demigod naturally will be determined by their mortal parent, not their godly parent. The best example of this is Hazel.
Marie Levesque very specifically summoned Pluto because he was a god of wealth. Itâs how she perceived him, not as a god of the underworld, the dead, or shadows, but as a god if riches and jewels. This explains why Hazelâs abilities are focused on riches. (Iâm aware Pluto grants Marie a wish, and that part of that is that Hazels jewels are all cursed. However. Even after they stop being cursed (kind of) at the end of SoN she doesnât lose the ability to summon them. SHE is the gift Pluto granted Marie, not the gems themselves) This doesnât mean that she canât access other abilities associated with children of Pluto/Hades, as is obvious in HoH when she assists Nico in shadow traveling everyone out of the House of Hades, or that the dead donât sense her as a child of the Underworld and defer to her, like the Leres at CJ, but that isnât how her powers naturally manifest.
Sticking with Hades, Nico (and Bianca) are a good comparison: they have (kind of) the same father as Hazel, but their abilities are very different. Looking at Maria, we donât know too much, but I am going to assume something based on the fact that sheâs from Italy in the 30s and her name is Maria: she was probably Catholic. Now, as someone who was raised Catholic, I feel qualified to say that Catholics are, while not as a whole superstitious, they are quite obsessed with death. Not in a Rapture sort of way the way some denominations are but more in aâŚthey care A LOT about the Saints and Heaven and judgement, and because of that theyâre more than willing to accept things happening because of intercession of a Saint or a dead loved one guiding them. I am not Italian in the 30s, so I canât speak to that. But because of that, and the fact we KNOW that Maria knew the father of her children was Hades, Lord of the Dead (he offered to keep her safe in the Underworld, she knew about the prophecy, she knew Zeus wanted her dead) we can see how these things about her are reflected in her children.
Nico is known as the Ghost King, because his powers mostly manifest in his ability to summon and control the dead. He also has powers related to shadows, but he really has to practice to get good at it and not pass out. Affecting the dead is the first thing we see him do as a Hades power (dismissing the skeletons attacking Percy at the end of TC, and again all through BotL with Minos) before we ever see him shadow travel, which isnât introduced until tLO, two books after his introduction. While Biancaâs page time is limited, the only real Hades power we see her demonstrate is when she destroys the skeleton. Maria saw Hades as the king of the dead more than any of his other powers. She obviously RECOGNIZED he had dominion over darkness and shadows (she says so when she tells him she wonât raise her children in the darkness of the Underworld) but that isnât the part of him that she sees and values and fell in love with. She had kids with the god of the dead, so her children primarily manifest their powers over that domain. I also think that the fact she knew she was dating a god made her children more powerful, if that makes sense. Nico and Hazel are some of the most powerful demigods in the series, even apart from being big three kids.
But Mags, Mags! I hear you cry, what about kids like Annabeth? Athena kids donât have obvious powers, how is that relevant here?
There arenât a ton of good comparisons for Annabeth to see how her abilities compare to her siblings besides maybe Malcolm. However, Iâll do my best.
Annabethâs power from Athena is her intellect and her cunning. Letâs look at how Athena and Fred met: Annabeth tells us that without Athenaâs help, he wouldnât have graduated his doctoral program. So when Fred met, we can assume he met Athena in her aspect of being a scholar. We know is that this is not Athenaâs only mythic role, she is also a strategist and a patroness of useful crafts like weaving among other things.
I believe that Annabethâs intellect really does manifest more as a scholar than anything else. For example, she has no formal schooling between the ages of 7 and 12, when she is at camp full time. Those are some formative years when a child creates a foundation for their future learning, and Annabeth has ADHD and dyslexia. School should not be a walk in the park for her. And yet, she doesnât really struggle to reenter school, and sheâs constantly referenced as doing essentially independent studying, whether itâs reading books in Ancient Greek or working on Daedalusâs laptop. Studying and researching is her hobby because it comes incredibly naturally to her, which matches up with how Fred would have seen Athena. And yes, we see her weave to get across the cavern in MoA, but thatâs kind of a one off. Annabeth herself realizes in the moment that, âoh yeah, Athenaâs the goddess of useful crafts,â like itâs never occurred to her to even attempt such a thing before. The only time we see her bring this talent back is at the beginning of BoO when Jason is stabbed (iirc - I could be wrong on this reference. I didnât open a single book to write this essay)
Comparing that to Malcolm, we donât know a ton about his powers or his parent. All I can recall is a single short story in which Athena sends him a dream requesting he reinstate a festival of hers, and he leads the Athena cabin in setting everything up, and I think weaves the Athena Parthenos a cool robe? Fact check me here, thatâs as memory serves.
So why wouldnât Athena ask Annabeth to do that? Sheâs the one who found the statue after all. Iâm willing to bet itâs because whomever Malcolmâs father is, he met Athena in her aspect as a craftswoman. The skills that Malcolm inherited are primarily to do with crafting because of his mortal parent.
You can also see why some aspects of gods arenât really seen in their children. For example, Dionysus is a god of wine but also notably mania. Of his two children we see + the one child of Bacchus we see, (Castor, Pollux, and Dakota) all three only have affinities towards the former. (There are vague allusions to the twins assisting the Demeter cabin with the strawberries because fruit bearing plants do well with them, although grapes are best, and Dakota has his kool aid addiction) but none ever display an ability to induce mania. Dionysus does, in TC when Percy Iris Messages him, but his kids donât. Why? Iâm willing to bet that less people are attracted to the manic aspect of Dionysus than the party side, especially because it requires wanting to make a baby with the guy. Not everyone, Iâm sure at some point thereâs been a Dionysus demigod who could, but itâs be rarer.
So what about Percy? He has like ALL his dadâs powers. Eh - kind of? Walk with me here:
We know quite a bit about Sally and Poseidons relationship, that they were together for an entire summer, that they met at Montauk, and that Sally knew she was dating the King of the Ocean. (Poseidon also offers her a palace under the sea to keep her safe from Zeus. Now heâs 2/2 on having his brothers offering to keep their lovers safe from him and thus revealing their identities to them and making their kids even more powerful)
We know that she associates Poseidon with the sea very strongly, but more so that she thinks he is powerful but GENTLE. I posit that because of that, it explains why water is healing to Percy. Zeus kids donât get magically better when they stick a finger in an outlet. Demeter kids arenât healed by plants. This is kind of unique to Percy and I think itâs because of Sally and Poseidonâs relationship. I would also assume that at some point, Poseidon showed her that he could communicate with sea life and horses, and those then became part of her idea of him, which is why water, equestrians, and fish are the parts of Percyâs power that comes most naturally.
You know what Poseidonâs the god of that isnât in Percyâs primary powered? Earthquakes. Heâs done it once: Mt St Helenâs in BotL and he did so while he was actively dying and the mountain was already erupting a little bit, he just made it worse. But heâs never actively tried to do so. It feels kind of like Hazels shadow travel: he probably could, with a lot of effort and maybe some help because his dad IS Poseidon, but itâs not his thing.
Itâs also why he can kind of mess with ice. The only real time we see him do so is in SoN when he collapses the glacier CJ in Alaska, but for the most part, if water isnât in its liquid form, he doesnât really mess with it. No steam either. He probably COULD, but Sally met Poseidon by an ocean, so thatâs their basis.
The poison in HoH reads similar to the earthquake. He probably could control any water based liquid but it would take more effort and he doesnât want to. For what itâs worth, yes, Percy could blood bend, easier than he could poison bend because blood is salt water. But he wonât. Because it disturbed him.
Moving on.
Mags! Thatâs all well and good, but what about Thalia and Jason? Donât they kind of disprove your theory? They have the exact same mortal parent, why do they have such different powers?
Well, for what itâs worth, they DONâT have the exact same parents. Zeus and Jupiter are not the same god. So theyâre technically half siblings through Beryl. Swerve. But I see your point - if Iâm suggesting that the powers one inherits from their godly parent are determined by oneâs mortal parent, then Thalia and Jason should be basically the same.
Well, they are pretty similar, all things considered, but a key part of that is what there really is to inherit from their godly parent. This gets more into classical theory that I am not an expert in, but from my understanding: you can generally state that of the two, Zeus was more impulsive and wrathful and might smite you for anything, and Jupiter filled the father/king of the gods role more. And we already agreed at the bringing with Nico and Hazel that Roman and Greek gods arenât the same.
And. When weâre looking at the relationship between Beryl and Zeus, itâs a wild starlet having a wild fling, she has no children, she parties, sheâs here and there and everywhere, she canât be tied down. And itâs implied that she knew he was a god, because being able to catch the attention of Zeus apparently made her go off the deep end when he left. And she wanted very badly to see Olympus but Zeus refused (with good reason. The reason being Hera) Thus, Thaliaâs powers pick from the ones matching those traits. Sheâs got power over lightning, but not necessarily the sky. She probably could fly if she ever tried. And also: she doesnât have to ask permission to call down lightning. She just does. She makes her own lightning.
Jason on the other hand, is the result of Beryl and Jupiter. The relationship was a smidge more stable. Beryl was calmer when Jupiter was around and Jupiter presented himself to her in a moreâŚgrand? aspect. It makes sense then that Jason can fly but heâs not really a lightning guy. Like. Yes. He caaaan, but pretty much so any time it counts thereâs a mention that he like, petitions his dad to let him summon a bolt. But he controls the winds with ease, because Jupiter is a king, and thatâs how he presented himself to Beryl.
Which brings me to a straight up theory I have about May Castellan. I think that she was either a politician or a political correspondent. Someone who was on the news a lot, someone with a sharp tongue, an excellent debtor, and an orator extraordinaire. All we know about her in canon is that she had Luke, and she was special enough to Hermes that he continued to visit her after Luke was born, and that he told her about the Oracle, and how that turned out.
Hermes is the god of a metric ton of stuff. Thieves, travelers, tricksters, merchants, athletes, gymnasiums, orators, communication, gambling, the list goes on. A lot of his kids are described as speedy: their mortal parents probably caught his eye due to being athletes. We know Luke to be very charismatic and the best swordsman the camp had seen in years. I think that indicates that May attracted Hermes as someone with a sharp wit, who could verbally spar anyone into submission (unless she was legit into swordplay) and she caught peoples attention and could convince them of anything. It also explains why sheâd have been so insistent on becoming Oracle, besides being clear sighted. If she was an elected official or a media correspondent, it would suggest an interest in conveying messages, and being the voice for others, like being the voice of Delphi.
But Mags, thatâs all well and good but Willâs mom is a musician. Why is his only gift on that front that horrible dog whistle?
EhâŚ? This one is tricky, however, it might be that she attracted Apollo because of her music, but he attracted her because he exudes warmth and light, thus her child gained healing and light powers and not music. Itâs a weaker explanation. Sorry.
There is one other very notable exception to this theory, and I do have an answer to that. Leoâs fire ability had very little to do with Esperanza, and everything to do with the prophecy.
I think that Leo was fated to have power over fire, as the fire in âto storm or fire the world must fall.â That being said, I donât think Leoâs crafting skills were fated. Those I feel were passed down from Hephaestus through Esperanzaâs association with engineering and crafting with him, but the fire wasnât. The fates wove that power in.
TLDR: Which powers a demigod inherits from their godly parent isnât random, itâs determined by how their mortal parent perceived the god and their domains.

How Jinx Would Act if Their Partner Got Hurt
1. Initial Shock, Then Panic
When you get hurt, Jinxâs first reaction is pure shock. She freezes up for a second, her eyes wide as she takes in the sight of you in pain. If itâs something serious, her breath hitches, and she might even stagger back, her hands trembling as if unsure what to do. The chaotic energy that usually surrounds her is completely gone in those first few seconds, replaced with an intense panic. âNo, no, no, this canât be happening!â sheâll shout, her voice high with worry.
2. Immediate, Protective Instincts Kick In
After the initial shock, her protective instincts take over. Without thinking, sheâs rushing to your side, hovering over you like a shield. Sheâll try to stop any bleeding, grab whatever supplies are around, and do everything in her power to help you. âJust hold on! Iâve got you!â sheâll say, voice trembling but determined. She might not always know the best way to handle the injury, but sheâs resourceful and wonât let you suffer alone.
3. Overwhelming Guilt
Once the initial panic dies down, Jinx will likely blame herself. If she wasnât around to prevent your injury or if she feels responsible in any way, sheâll spiral. âI shouldâve been more careful! This is my fault!â Sheâll mutter to herself as she tries to help you, the guilt eating at her, even if it wasnât her fault. Sheâll be apologizing profusely, not knowing how to make it right. âI didnât mean for this to happen! Please donât leave meâŚâ Her words will be a mixture of anxiety, desperation, and self-blame.
4. Constant Reassurance
Throughout the whole ordeal, Jinx will be desperately trying to reassure you, even if her actions are a little frantic. Sheâll check on you over and over, making sure youâre not slipping in and out of consciousness or feeling worse. âHey, hey! Stay with me, okay? Youâre gonna be fine. Donât leave me.â Her tone will waver, alternating between tough and vulnerable, depending on how scared sheâs feeling. She might even try to distract you with jokes or random ramblings just to keep you awake, âSo, uh, if we ever get out of here, I think we should start a rock band, you know? Just to make things more interesting, right?â
5. Frantic Attempts to Fix It
Jinx will want to do everything she can to help you heal, even if she doesnât have the knowledge or skills to do it perfectly. Sheâll go into overdrive, grabbing whatever she can find to patch you up. Whether itâs bandages, alcohol, or anything she can improvise, sheâll try to make sure youâre taken care of. âOkay, donât freak out, Iâve got this⌠kind of,â sheâll mutter, clearly not knowing what sheâs doing but too determined to let that stop her.
6. Unable to Stay Calm
Jinx is rarely calm, but when youâre hurt, sheâs even less so. Her nerves are frayed, and she canât stop moving, her body twitching with energy that she canât quite direct. She might be pacing back and forth, muttering to herself, and checking your injury over and over. âWhy does this always happen to the people I care about?â sheâll say, almost pleading with the universe. Her chaos becomes less playful and more desperate when it comes to your well-being.
7. Wonât Leave Your Side
Once she realizes youâre hurt, Jinx is glued to you. She wonât leave your side, even if you insist that she go do something else. âNo way, Iâm not leaving you alone like this. You think Iâm gonna let you suffer by yourself? Not happening.â Whether youâre at home or in the middle of some chaotic situation, sheâll refuse to go anywhere without you. She might even get a little clingy, not wanting to risk anything else happening to you.
8. Subtle Display of Vulnerability
Despite her tough exterior, Jinx is deeply vulnerable when it comes to those she loves. After you get hurt, she may hide it behind humor or chaotic behavior, but sheâs deeply shaken. Her usual confidence falters, and sheâll show a rare side of herself that she tries to keep hidden. âYou⌠you canât be hurt, okay? I wonât let that happen. Iâll fix this, I promise,â she might say, her voice low and unsteady as she holds you close.
9. Overcompensating with Affection
When she sees you starting to recover, or even if you just need a little comfort, Jinx will shower you with affection. Sheâll hug you tightly, kiss your forehead, and refuse to let you go for a while. âYouâre gonna be fine, I swear! Iâm not letting anyone hurt you, not while Iâm around!â Sheâll be unusually affectionate, and might even pull you into her lap or cuddle you to make sure you feel safe. Her way of showing that she cares will be to dote on you, even if sheâs still a little shaken from what happened.
10. Teasing, But with a Touch of Care
Once she feels like things are back under control and youâre safe, Jinx will return to her usual playful selfâbut itâll be softer, gentler than normal. Sheâll tease you, trying to lighten the mood, but youâll notice that her jokes are just a little more caring than usual. âYou know, for someone so tough, you sure make a big deal out of a little scrape. Youâre lucky Iâm here to take care of you!â Sheâll still joke, but sheâs showing that sheâs relieved youâre okay and doesnât want to let her guard down again.
11. Planning to Make Sure It Doesnât Happen Again
Once the panic dies down and youâre healing, Jinx will immediately start plotting to ensure nothing like that happens again. âNext time, we get way more prepared. Like, armor prepared, or something.â Her protective instincts kick into overdrive, and sheâll try to figure out every possible scenario to keep you safe in the future. She might even come up with elaborate plans to protect you from harm, even if itâs over-the-top and unnecessary. Itâs her way of showing that sheâll do anything to prevent you from being hurt again.
12. Reluctantly Letting You Rest
While Jinx wants to keep you close, sheâs also going to keep a watchful eye on you. She might insist that you rest or take it easy, making sure you donât push yourself too hard. If youâre feeling tired, sheâll stay beside you, making sure youâre comfortable. âIâm not going anywhere, okay? You just take it easy, and Iâll be right here with you. Iâm not leaving.â Her concern will be tangible, and sheâll do everything in her power to make sure youâre okay.
In conclusion, when you get hurt, Jinx will go into full-on protective mode. Sheâll be chaotic, frantic, and full of love and worry, showing how deeply she cares in her own wild, unpredictable way. Whether itâs making sure youâre patched up or keeping you close, she wonât rest until she knows youâre safe and well.

Not to theorize on Arcane with only three episodes left to go or anything, but I do think that there's a reason why the scenes we get of Viktor where he's actually acting like his old self, with Sky also acting reasonably human, are in some kind of theater of the mind/magical space/etc, rather than just Viktor in-person talking to Hallucination Sky in his shimmer dome or something.
Like, think about it. The first few scenes we have of Viktor post-cocoon, he sees Sky as a hallucination in physical reality, and it's disjointed and an obvious sign that something has gone Wrong. It's creepy, and weird. He's got one foot in physical reality and one somewhere else (and it's styled very differently from Jinx's hallucinations, too, which handily indicates that this is not the same sort of thing).
But then, after Jayce returns and we see that Viktor has established his cult, his personality seems to be entirely contained within this otherworldly space. He can perceive reality, but it's no longer overlapping. He has become somewhat quarantined from himself, with Sky there as well, acting way more like "herself" than she did as a hallucination before but also essentially chaperoning Viktor's consciousness. Like a golden retriever put in with a zoo cheetah to keep it calm.
What's interesting is that, internal Viktor is pretty much the usual Viktor he's been since S1, more or less. Like, that's definitely Viktor, who worries about Jayce and focuses on complex problems and wants to help people. But in-person Viktor is weirder. He's not a completely different guy by any means, but he doesn't emote the way that the internal Viktor does, and he says more weird shit in weird tones. Based on the decisions he ultimately makes, I think the internal Viktor is still calling the shots -- but I also think that he's increasingly on his way out.
He's been disconnected from his own physical reality by several degrees, observing it more than interacting with it. And though he sees that there's another influence on Jayce, there are heavy hints (such as Sky appearing right when he says that) that he's in the same boat. But because the process is happening gradually, and is happening within him, he can't recognize it. Every time he tries to, he is presented with a new distraction, or discussion, or there is a reassuring concession that seems to validate that he's still in control. Plus it's probably just difficult to perceive because it does seem to be basing a lot of its outlook on things off of his own. How do you discern the "wrongness" in something when it's the same flavor of wrong that you yourself tend to be?
It's difficult from the outside to definitively say whether this is just Viktor undergoing some funky character development, or if Viktor's another victim of something else. Maybe Viktor's just sequestering his own humanity a bit? Maybe it's all just intended to depict how he navigates through magical energy?
But I think another big indication that it's not just Viktor, is Salo. When Jayce comes back and asks if Salo's still in there after Viktor talks through him, Salo just calmly reasserts himself, and acts as if the idea that he's being forcefully subjugated is absurd. He's not being attacked or imprisoned, he's just engaged in a willing partnership with a benevolent power. If we didn't know what he was like before, or if the old Salo had been a very calm and altruistic individual to being with, it might even be convincing. But the disconnect is way more obvious here because the character we met in past episodes is way further removed from the serene cultist we see Jayce smash with his big hammer. We know that even a grateful Salo is not the kind of person who is going to put on a beige tunic, forgo his many vices and fancy parties, and join a commune just to thank his benefactor. No matter how happy he was to have his legs back, it would only be because it got him his life back -- he wouldn't want to regain his mobility just to up and abandon that life.
Outwardly it would seem that the thing that has subverted Salo's will is Viktor. But if Viktor is also being gradually quarantined, if the same thing is happening to him, then that further implies that another will is at play. One that is disguising itself as Viktor, or if you will as an evolution of Viktor.
Okay and now to actually theorized I guess -- I think that this might be where Singed's assertions about Warwick/Vander being a necessary component of Viktor's evolution will come into play. Because Viktor himself is not going to sacrifice a man to achieve that, but whatever else is part of Viktor does want to evolve. And then it just so happens that Jayce comes out of nowhere, ostensibly being controlled or influenced by something else, and shoots Viktor dead. At which point it seems like the human part of Viktor goes out, and the Machine Evolution guy fully supplants him.
Yeah, I kind of think that Jayce did do a bad thing, but that the twist will be that when he touched the arcane, "Viktor" showed him a vision or gave him some kind of time travel-y experience that convinced him he had to go back and destroy him, so that Jayce would unwittingly kill the only thing holding it back before Viktor finished helping Vander, probably ran out of juice and died in the process, and quietly took this thing out with him. It would, unfortunately, be very on-brand for Jayce to take a decisive and violent action to try and prevent catastrophe, only to unintentionally make it worse. This show on the whole has stuck to the idea that shooting your big flashy magic weapon at a thing is a great way to make a complicated problem much much worse.
I'm not sure they'd break the pattern for this one.

Silver soul â Pedri GonzĂĄlez.
Pairing: Pedri GonzĂĄlez x Fem!Reader
Summary: When banter leads to an interesting chain of events.
Word count: 1.6k
Disclaimer/s: banter + fluff + light angst
A/N: i unfortunately did change the initial summary + plot but iâm too lazy to change the name
Annoyance seeped through your expression as your head turned to face Pedriâs. The two of you had been the last ones left outside when your friends has moved inside to do various things. You were expecting Pedri to leave along with them, wanting your moment of peace. Unfortunately, he was not going anywhere.
âYou couldnât possibly let me have any peace, could you?â Your eyes narrowed into slits as you shuffled in your seat, bringing your knees to your chest.
The fireplace casted a warm glow across the Tenerife man, making his face adorn a warm color that enunciated his features. You hated how good he looked, it make him so much harder to hate.
Pedriâs mouth forms a lazy grin. âWhat? You donât appreciate my company?â He knew what to say to set you off, loving the way your face scrunched in annoyance.
âNot even in the slightest.â
His low chuckle made you even more agitated. He was so likable and charming that it pissed you off, not to mention how easy conversations seemed to flow with him. Every time you spoke, hours would pass without you even realizing.
Pedri leaned back in his chair, head tilted to the side as he looked at your stoic face as you watched the flames dance. âAy, guapa.â His words catch your attention, your head snapping in his direction. [beautiful]
âAy, cabezĂłn.â You shoot back, refusing to give into his flirtatious compliment. [big head]
The raven haired man laughed, his head falling forward, shaking slightly. âOkay, I was being nice and you just want to hurt me.â
Your shoulders move up and down, shrugging. âWhen will you realize you flirting isnât going to make me dislike you any less?â You tug at the corners of your blanket to lift them over your shoulders to grow more comfortable.
âYou know what I think?â Pedri asks, his eyes never leaving you, not even when you give him a hard, challenging glare. âI think you secretly like it.â
A laugh of disbelief leaves your lips, âand what makes you think that?â
Grinning wider, Pedri leans over in his chair. His elbows prop up on the armrest and he holds his head up with his palms. âYou may not realize it, but your lips twitch every time I do.â
âDo you ever shut up?â
Pedri shakes his head, ânoâŚâ He was about to get real risky with what he says next, âbut you can try and make me.â
Oh! Right, right. Funny.
Your lips pull into a thin line, eyes darting around his face. Is he being serious right now? But Pedri doesnât look like heâs joking, his stupid smirk was gone, a serious look overtaking his face. He was.
âAnd how do you suppose I do that?â You nervouslyâwait. Nervous? Why were you nervous? Your knee had began to bounce, something that you did whenever you got anxious and, or nervous.
You were not anxious right now.
Your breathing slowed when Pedriâs gaze fell to your lips. He doesnât say anything, just hums. He knew exactly what he was doing and you shake your head.
âYeah, no.â You cough, turning away from him to look at the fire again. Your face was burning and it wasnât because of the heat from the fire.
Pedri cracked up, finding it ever so amusing how flustered youâd gotten. He never realized how easy it would be to get you riled up like that.
And just like that, youâd stopped talking to Pedri. Completely. And every second of it was hell. All you could think about was his beautiful brown eyes that had a strong orange hue, the way his hair fell so softly on his head, the way he smiled with his teeth. It was so frustrating.
Pedri felt your absence the first time you didnât show up to a gathering. Even when you didnât come to a home game. Even when you said you hated him, you showed up periodically every three games.
He texted you, you didnât respond. He asked your friends about you, they simply gave a, âsheâs busyâ in response, but he noticed the slight questioning in their toneâlike they didnât believe what they were saying.
So, at his whits end, he stood outside your door in the rain. Pounding on the oak wood door, he progressingly got harsher and harsher until you finally swung it open.
âWhatâoh.â You falter, stepping back in surprise. âPedri.â
âYeah, Pedri. The guy youâve avoided like I had a disease or something?â He snapped tightly, his hands moving as he spoke in frustration. âTell me what I did wrong!â
You were taken aback, to say the least. You didnât think your absence would affect him this much. âYou didnât do anything wrong.â You answer quietly. âAre you cold?â
Pedri was befuddled. Cold? Was this your way of avoiding conversation? He was, of course. âWhat do you think? Iâm drenched.â
âCome inside.â You step out of the way, motioning for him to come inside of your house.
Pedriâs mouth clamps shut. He strides inside and shrugs off his hoodie, leaving him clad in a white tee shirt that was still damp from the water that seeped through.
Heâd never been to your house. It was exactly like he pictured. Neat, pops of color, random paraphernalia of the things you likedâyet subtle enough that nobody would know unless they liked those things or knew you well enough. It was all so.. you. He smiled a little.
âI can get you a blanket, coffee, tea? I donât want you to get sick.â You were already moving toward the couch a few feet away, reaching for one.
Shaking his head, Pedri grips your arm, stopping you effectively. You glance back at him with furrowed eyebrows. âNo. Stop stalling. Talk to me.â
Your eyes drift to his hand, ignoring the way his touch sent a bolt of electricity up your arm. âI have been busy. Not really feeling all the socializing. Itâs not you.â
âLook me in the eyes and tell me it isnât true.â Pedri demands, dropping his hand to give you the stage. His arms cross and he cocks his head to the side with a hard stare.
You play with the hem of your sleeve, reluctantly looking at him. âItâs not you.â
Confusion flashes across his face. âThen what is it?â
âItâs me!â You exclaim, rubbing your face. âItâs my complete and utter lack of ability to get you out of my head! Itâs the way I canât stop thinking about you! It isââ You turn around and take a breath. âMy head makes it so difficult to be around you.â
Pedri listens intently, ignoring his urge to reach out and shut you up. His heart races and his head pounds and God he just wanted to kiss you!
He says your name, softly. But you werenât finished.
ââNot to mention, I want to forget you so bad and I canât! You have always been annoying but itâs reaching an insufferable level!â
âAre you done?â
âYes.â
âIf you think this is one sided, you are dead wrong.â And that was all he had to say. He wasnât going to waste your time and ramble about how deeply he felt your absence, or how he couldnât sleep because your face was the last thing he pictured when he closes his eyes and he didnât want it to go away.
Your mouth parts, your breath hitching in your throat. Words fail your tongue. When you canât get anything out, your shoulders slump. Okay. Okay! This was good. Right?
He says your name again, snapping his fingers in your face. Blinking, you take a long breath, a slightly confused smile overtaking your lips. âWow. Alright. Oh. Now what.â
âNow, I ask if I can have that blanket because Iâm pretty fucking cold.â He says through a breathy laugh.
Your head dips when you chuckle, âyeah, yeah. You can sit on the couch. Iâll make you tea, too. Youâll probably catch a cold.â
You were so caring, even when you pretended you couldnât stand him. You were caring all the time, Pedri supposed that was what he loved so much about you.
When you were back with the blanket and tea in hand, you plop down beside him. âI havenât been busy. Iâve been miserable.â You confess, leaning your head back against the couch cushion with a loose smile.
âIâve been miserable too.â Pedri admits, setting the mug aside and leans back as well. When heâs facing you, he takes the moment of silence to scan your face. Every small feature, he took in. Burned it into his brain.
Your stomach hurt with his examination because with it came the softest, most endearing smile. âAre you always going to creepy-stare at me? Or will this end after tonight?â
âAlways.â Pedri shrugs, lifting his hand to cup your cheek, his thumb rubbing your soft skin. âDonât do this to me again. Donât make me have to get upset at you, I hated every second of it.â
You nod, your eyes fluttering shut to sink in his every touch. âNever again.â
âAndââ
âCan I shut you up?â
The call back to the conversation that happened only weeks ago had Pedri laughing. âYes.â Without another word, your lips pressed to his.

Happy Anniversary In Stars and Time!! Have some Friend Quest based drawings :D
(These have specific quote picks related to them! And there's also a long ramble on why I like those specific quotes below if interested)
(And by long, I mean roughly 2k+ words of proper ramble total, so be warned before clicking keep reading!!)
---
Okay, so honestly this is more or less an excuse to ramble out an appreciation post (of sorts) on everyone tbh, since I do not do that often if ever. I'm just using the quote picks to keep me a bit focused on topics a bit more specific than being completely aimless!
[Also specialist of special shoutouts to my friends Squid and Aya for proofreading all this. Ily guys ever so dearly <3333]
---
Mirabelle
"Avoidance, huh... That feels... a little too cowardly, for me."
The Housemaiden, who would probably fulfill the 'Hero' role if this was a normal RPG, Mirabelle! She has a lot going on that's so interesting to me!! Okay tbf everyone else does too but I really just needed a segue.
She's the chosen one that wasn't really chosen. The reason she was blessed was due to circumstance, and it wasn't even by the Change God either. Because of that, she feels immense pressure/imposter syndrome since she knows the truth of her blessing. Speaking of feelings, she also already felt like sheâs failing her own faith for being comfortable with herself, in staying the same forever. For not wanting to Change in that way, when everyone else can, and feeling broken because of it. And, of course, she literally has anxiety and hasnât had access to her meds throughout the entire quest. That probably also does not help in the slightest!! It's an interesting stewing pot of feeling like a fraud of a 'chosen one' with all that in mind.
And yet, her dedication to her faith and country shines through her actions and words, whether she knows it or not. Sheâs not someone to avoid her worries. Sheâll face them, head-on, even if she doesn't think she'll succeed. I feel like this quote captures it best to me actually! Especially since it's a direct response to Sif saying that they try to avoid their own doubts and worries, in comparison to Miraâs own in her own faith. It almost feels like a subconscious response, and to me that says a lot.
[Side-tangent, but it's also interesting to me that this very dedication works against her, in a sense? Like, notably the bonding proposals. Beyond the societal pressures in play related to the Change belief, she is also the one to take the initiative to ask a dating company for bonding proposals, it didn't just happen around her (as in, no one suggested this to her)? Even when she isn't even interested in dating anyone to begin with! She's not interested in Changing in that way!!! That is to say, her head-on dedication can be to the point of her own detriment at times, to the point of bringing her woe? Not sure if I am wording this properly. Just a thought I had, idk if it has much merit tho. Sorry if that made like no sense!!]
But yeah! She gives it her all in just about everything she does!! She was already known as the most hardworking Housemaiden in the House, always striving to better herself, always taking new classes prior to all this (over 150! and she herself said that she couldn't do anything before coming to the House, which makes it all the more impressive). And when faced with the insurmountable task of saving her home, all of Vauguarde, from being frozen over by the King? She continues on to take on the mantle as the chosen one, the one who will save everyone, and she starts it off completely alone. She's the reason the journey was able to play out, and why everyone is together in the first place. All because she isn't one to avoid her doubts and worries, and willingness to do it scared, yanno? It's just a small part on what I appreciate about her, but I think I'm going to cut myself off here!

Isabeau
"Doesn't that feel like someone you wouldn't feel ashamed of knowing?"
Isabeau!! Literally the whole âChange is destructionâ convo that Isa has prior to this quote was up to be picked, but I figured picking the end would be easiest. But now that I think about it, I think all my picks are basically at the end of the FQ's so that point is sort of moot. Oh well! It's just hard to pick a singular quote off of these okay!!
Isabeau from the start of the game is shown to be portraying himself as a himbo. Big guy, dumb guy, the like. But, even from the start, there are signs that he really isn't stupid, like at all! First early gameish example I can think of off the top of my head, that distinctly shows this, is the color theory book. Mainly because he sort of kind of drops the facade for a split second there. Without proper context to his deal, it's just a funny moment. But, reflecting after the fact, it's more of an '...OH!' moment, since he seems to have been kinda upset about not knowing about colors (even if he's hamming it up a little bit, saying he's 'failed them all' for not knowing what colors were.) And that's not even going into his emotional intelligence either.
But, delving into his FQ the full picture is shown. That he wasn't always this big boisterous guy. He used to be the nerdiest kid around, incredibly shy, and because of that he didn't like himself much. But then he Changed and is much happier now, compared to back then! Even after his Change though, he's unhappy with some aspects of himself. He doesnât like being considered dumb because of his act. And, even after Changing, that kid from before is still there, right? As much as he continues to project this air of cool confidence, he can never truly be rid of that part of his old self, can he? The one always paralyzed by fear.
With that, comes the quote pick! Since, to me, he's not necessarily talking to just Siffrin here, but also to himself. Because it all boils down to his own self-hatred, I think? He himself does mention this in the A5 version of this FQ, albeit kinda heat of the moment, that he "...keeps changing personalities like clothes, because it's easier than learning to like myself." He's still a work in progress in that regard. But even still, he is trying to be better, for the people he cares about.
[Small aside, that too can maybe stem from his own self-loathing? Putting the people he cares about first. I mean, he is the one who told Sif to focus on the others first. And even after that, he was putting focus onto Sif at first during his FQ (as in, talking about how he thought Sif would like seeing the stars, only letting the convo slide into focus unto himself after Sif made an obvious topic change.) The quote also kind of reads as an ask of reassurance, in a sense? That him Changing again would allow himself to be someone that people would like, even if he himself doesn't like himself. Idk where I was going with this tbh, but I think it makes sense to keep its inclusion here!]
Overall, I just think it's interesting to revisit Isa's previous dialogues with the context of the FQ!! Especially when thinking on the underlying reasons as to why the way he's acting the way he is, even while seeing signs from the start that he isn't the airhead he was masquerading as.

Odile
"I'm Ka Buan and Vauguardian, in ways I do and don't realize... And I am also myself."
The Researcher, Odile! I think Iâm just gonna jump right into it without a semblance of an intro since I know itâs going to be a lil less focused. Mainly because I know for a fact I will not be able to articulate this ramble that well, so here we go.
As the oldest party member, it makes sense that she's much further along in her own character development / self-discovery journey in comparison to the others (at least in relation to her FQ centered struggle on finding out more about herself in relation to her heritage), and I think her FQ, in itself, helps portray that. Compared to Mira and Isa, who are still in the midst of their own personal journey on how to address their turmoil and putting it to action, Bonnie, who is the youngest of the group and is learning how to tackle their issues to begin with, and Siffrin who is going through All Thatâ˘; Odile has come to a conclusion about her own woes, where the others have not.Â
Thatâs part of the reason why I went with the quote pick actually! In a sense, itâs a display of self-assuredness in herself that can really only be gained with time and experience. Sheâs also able to explain her feelings on her heritage eloquently as well, and the convo prior to the quote helps express them too! Itâs the recognition that yes, her mixed heritage helped shape who she is as a person in ways she may or may not realize, that itâs not the only factor at play here in regard to her identity. Itâs the fact that, at the end of the day, what matters most is that she is herself, yanno?
Even with her self-assuredness towards herself, itâs also interesting to me how that contrasts her closed-offness to the others, especially in outright saying/showing that she cares? Which also probably also stems from her mother, someone who was supposed to love and care for her, leaving without a trace early on in life. It makes sense to me that she would have reluctance in showing that she cares for the others!! What if she ends up hurting others similarly to how her mother hurt her? Of course, she wouldnât want to do that to the others, and is distinctly also why she does NOT want to be called a Mom.Â
[Tangent that doesnât relate as much to the quote, but I want to touch upon anyway since itâs FQ related. I also want to point out that the FQ helps inform us why Odile is more willing to question things around her / be more sus? When her mother left, she left nothing behind, and with it, any links to her Vauguardian roots. This left her with a complete loss of that connection, one that was stolen from her and, with that, the feeling like she didnât belong anywhere as a result. This led her to be curious enough to seek out a resolution to that feeling, lending more into her inquisitiveness on just about anything. How else would she be able to learn more about Vauguarde, without asking questions, after all!]
All in all, for Odile itâs a bit harder for me to elaborate on why I like her? I dunno, I think itâs just hard to sum it all up as eloquently as she probably could LOL.Â

Bonnie
"So you can protect me, and I can protect you... And we can protect everyone, too!"
Bonnie!! TBH I had a toss-up on what specific quote the drawing would be based around. The other one being âYou got hurt because of me andâ And I donât like it!!! I donât want it to have happened! You should have stood there and let me be hurt!â . Because of the toss up both quotes will be discussed somewhat, since they go hand in hand with the ramble!
[To note, the toss-up was decided by putting it on a poll to my friends, as a simple âchoose !â with the options being âjoyfulâ or âangstyâ with ZERO context. I told them after what the poll was for (basically if Bonnie would be crying or not in the drawing) and I got threatened for that one HAHA.]
But, to start, Bonnie has had, not once, but twice, people sacrificing themselves in some way for them (Nille telling them to run and getting frozen, Siffrin losing his eye.) Makes sense, because they're a kid, so of course those who are older need to protect them. Still, they are not happy about this, about people getting hurt because of them, and understandably so! It probably doesn't feel good to have your loved ones putting themselves in harm's way for your sake. But what can they do, right? They're a kid and don't really get a say on the matter. I mean, what else can they do? It makes sense to me that Bonnie is frustrated about that part!! It can be frustrating to have everyone discuss things around you, have everyone do things that you don't want them to, and (unintentionally or not), ignoring your input as a person because you are so young.
Kids are smarter than you think. Even if they may not have a full understanding of what's going on, they can certainly follow along and get the gist. Like, for example, Bonnie always listens in on the burial conversation during the second snack break (first found out either during a FQ run or in Memory of Promise). They even pretend not to hear whatever Siffrin says to make everyone think that they aren't listening in! They also seem to hone in completely to the conversation the second Isabeau says that it doesn't matter what happens to him after he dies, since they stop prepping at that point. Even worse, everyone starts discussing how they won't let Bonnie be killed. Which, if it comes to fruition, would be the third instance of people getting hurt because of them, and would be another thing they get zero say in! And everyone thinks they aren't listening in on it, meaning they were being discussed around. Plus, in Memory of Promise, while they don't have the words to articulate why everyone talking about their deaths is so upsetting to them, this context spells out the picture of them not wanting people to be hurt because of them, time and time again.
So when they get a proper opportunity to have a say on something, their promise with Siffrin on protecting one another, to protect everyone too? It makes the exchange all the sweeter to me! It's the first time, in probably a long time, Bonnie has had proper input on something from someone older than them on an important decision. For once, they get to stand on a more equal footing to an adult, rather than being treated as a kid who doesn't know what's going on. And, it probably means more to Bonnie than Siffrin realizes.

Thereâs probably a lot more of examples/subtopics I am forgetting to add onto all of these but. Please forgive me, but a good chunk of this was written while I was travelling or in one sitting on my singular day off after travel ASDAFSA. I might genuinely be forgetting something I wanted to talk about, esp since I couldn't double check stuff easily. I've been going off a combination of memory and downloaded friend ISAT streams LMAOOO.
Feel free to correct me on stuff I possibly? Completely misconstrued as well?? Since that is entirely possible in happening! Or further add onto thoughts! In short feel free to extend the discussion on any of this! But yeah, wrangling (some) of my thoughts on why I like them has been fun :D
And to those of you who read all of this to the end, thank you for reading my ramblings!! And if you're skipping to the end, FAIR ENOUGH LMAO!!
Regardless though, I'll end this off with a fun lil fun fact about this post! If I scheduled this properly, it should be going up at 11:11... somewhere! I thought it'd be a fun easter egg to myself. Mainly bc I remember people always used to say "11:11, make a wish!" a lot when I was school whenever the clock struck that time. I just thought it'd be fitting to queue this up for that time is all :]

Where to make friends as an adult.
Recently I saw a devastating citation stating that most adults find it hard to make new friends as it feels like there is a lack of community and resources to do so. It takes nearly 50 hours of time together to move from mere acquaintance to casual friend. For more advanced levels of friendship, it can take more than 200 hours before you can consider someone âcloseâ. (source)
So, though I'm not an expert by any means, I thought I'd offer some examples, ideas, and tips on finding and making friends as an adult! Check below the break :>
Ideas on where to find friends:
đ Local free (or cheap) events. I went to a presentation that included a free beer in the ticket cost and I had a blast! Most cities have an events calendar you can look at. Soon I'm attending a free event for the transgender community honoring those that came before us. đ Library programs. Most libraries that I've seen don't even require a library card, just your email or phone number to sign up for a program! Be it a presentation, class, or event, the library is the place to be!
âEvents of interest. I think about what I'm interested in and what I would like to connect with people about, and I search around to see what I can find. I use sites like Eventbrite to help me search.
đť Online Communities. For those who can't make it out very often, consider joining online communities by searching for fandoms or topics of interest and see if there is a discord server, bluesky feed, tumblr community, or other communities on socials!
How to make friends:
Consistency. Once you find a place you enjoy going to, an organization you whose events your enjoy attending, or a series of events that takes place KEEP GOING!! Consistency is key, you have to keep interacting with folks to become friends with them.
Transparency. Just be yourself, but that doesn't mean you should be trauma dumping! Sharing personal detail allows us to feel closer to people, but make sure you're not sharing too much information! That can always come later when you're closer friends.
Confidence. You have to believe that you're someone that people want to be friends with. Don't believe it? Well ask your current friends why they are friends with you! You'll not only get a confidence boost, but also hopefully share a touching moment with your existing friends.
Follow up. If you want to be friends with someone you've met, you have to build up the nerve to further connect with them. This means sharing phone numbers or socials.
Start talking. The best way to do this is by asking questions or by giving a non-threatening compliment. Try not to make it all about you, though it is easiest to talk about the one thing we know best (ourselves) it typically won't help you make new friends! Show that you're interested in them, their thoughts and feelings on the topic of the event or a neutral topic such as musicians or food.
Questions. Ask open ended and non-invasive questions and follow through. Examples below!
Invite them out. Once you've established an acquaintance, invite them to hang out! BUT if you're the one inviting them out then you need to make sure you have some plan in mind. This could be going to a trivia night, a local event, or going to a new place together.
Further questions or topics of discussion:
I'm new to this [place or reocurring event] how long have you been coming here? Do you like it so far?
If you could be a crab or a lobster, which would you be and why? (make sure you have an answer ready!)
How long have you known about [place or event theme]? What got you interested in [place or event theme]?
(If at an event with drinks or food) I'm having trouble deciding what to choose, what should I try?
What superpower would you want and why?
What do you do for work? Do you like it? (follow by asking non-invasive questions about their job. This is easier when you have no clue what the job position actually is, lol).
Hey, I really like your style! Where did you get your outfit?/Who or what are your fashion influences?
What questions or topics of discussion do you typically go for when meeting new people?

This was such a great chapter, Tesh! I really loved getting to read about Nia and Toby trying to get their real first lead into the earthquakes. I also really liked reading about the tense scene in the rain between Calder and Kern. I do wonder if the Girafarig that slipped away will show up again. I do have to wonder what they might be up to.
I also loved seeing Samir team up with Team Scarlet in this chapter. Toby internally noting how Nia attracts lonely people to her was such a cute touch. I thought the narrationâs noting of the the town having so much rain to be quite interesting. Perhaps a Pokemon is using Rain Dance? On that note, Earthquake is a TM, and a large number of Pokemon can learn it, including Girafarig. Iâm not sure on how TMs might factor into the world of Seekers of Soul, so Iâll just have to wait to see if any of my move theories might be have some truth to them.
Another part of this chapter I really loved was the worldbuilding. Toby being sensitive to contact with water due to being a Fire type is so interesting to me. Does he drink water at all, or does he only stay hydrated through hydration berries? I also loved the little detail of Deidra being more sensitive to the quakes since she is a Lopunny and thus has pretty good hearing. Nia having the wherewithal to get under the saloon was also such a good detail since I know some places in the our world have extensive earthquake education. That makes me think that Nia must have lived somewhere near an earthquake fault, or at least learned about it at some point.
I think youâve done such a great job expanding the world of Seekers of Soul, especially when it comes to the mythos and geography. The towns and locations visited so far feel very lived in. The Xylem Guild is a cozy community of Seekers, Ghatha is a lively city of colorful stone, and Asra is a desert mining town that comes alive at night after the dayâs work is done.
Finally, I want to say I loved seeing more of Tobyâs softer side this chapter. It was especially clear when he absorbed the Oricorioâs words, letting them take precedent for a moment over his need to find information about Team Zenith. Heâs really come such a long way. Nia too, she would have never have gathered the courage to chase after Samir in the rain after an earthquake at the start of the story. Youâve done such a great job with their character development. Iâm so excited to see where their adventures lead them next, with the matter of Giratina hanging over their heads and all. Thereâs also the matter of Will. At this point, I do not trust him and going by an animation you posted a few years ago, heâs definitely connected to Giratina in some way. Either way, Iâm looking forward to seeing what Nia, Tobias, and Samir find in the mines next time.
