#I’m trying to avoid as much of it as possible tbh. I don’t need to know this and I’d hate for any out there early concepts to ruin the lore

[warden-melli]

Jokes aside, the worst part of these leaks are going to be the people who insist that any of the content in them are in any way canon

If it isn’t in the games, or published in any offical media by Nintendo/The Pokemon company, then the content isn’t canon and should be completely disregarded

[miaoua3]

ooh I finally figured this out- anyway could you do how seventeen members would treat you on your period? It might seem weird but you don’t have to do it if you don’t want to 😅 *sorry I’m not so good with this type of stuff because I’ve never requested before 😭*

sorry for making you struggle with this bae lmao my bad😭

and sure i can, i was actually planning on doing something like this in the future anyway so lmao anyway i hope you enjoy this! love ya

SVT-How They Would Treat You While You're On Your Period?

scoups: he handles everything like a champ. he probably has one of those tracking apps so he can know when to stock you up on your pads/tampons, as well as your favourite snacks and drinks. takes such a good care of you-will cuddle you all the time, his big and warm hand rubbing your lower stomach in comfort the entire time, his warm chest pressing into your back as he hugs you tightly. and your mood swings? nobody was ever as successful into talking you down from them as he is.

jeonghan: he can tell a few days before you get your period that that time of the month is nearing simply by how sensitive and snappy you are. so, surprisingly, he tries to behave to the best of his abilities and not getting on your bad side. when he comes home a few days after and sees you wrapped in a blanket on your couch, he immediately coos and and walks over to you to hug you. will run to the store to get you more ice cream if you want to. will treat you like fragile little doll the following few days, always babying you and and following you around in case you need him for anything

joshua: the best one for this type of thing tbh. similar to cheol, he tracks your cycle, so he's always prepared, both physically and mentally. the fuzzy blankets are prepared, the tea is brewing, your favourite show is on the tv, and joshua is beneath you, softly cradling your head close to his chest while every few minutes his lips press themselves to your forehead, his fingers playing with the ends of your hair. you can’t really remember the last time you bought yourself the sanitary items because joshua always makes sure that you’re stocked up on them. and he’s so gentle with you when he sees that you’re either in one of your bad moods or crying or something similar, he will just pull you onto his lap and pat your head as he talks you through it with his gentle voice❤️

jun: not inherently bad at it but just a bit lost and scared😭 he kind of gets very cautious around the time he notices you being irritable and snappy, so this little sweetheart will literally bring you flowers as an apology (even when he did nothing wrong) every evening after work oh my sweet junnie how i love you. will try to make those few days as easy as possible for you by taking over all the chores, cuddling you as much as you demand for him to do, making you yummy soups and easy meals, brewing you your favourite tea a few times a day-there literally isn't anything this boy wouldn't do for you on the days he knows and sees that you're struggling

hoshi: may lord help this man to survive those scary few days lmao. he's so scared of getting on your bad side that he will low-key avoid you on the first few days of your period (because he knows those are the worst). you could be laying on your couch, holding your tummy tightly in hopes of this passing quickly and you will just see the top of his head peaking behind the wall of your bedroom lmao he's so cute. but he will eventually realise how ridiculous he's being and will step u to his role as your boyfriend and will low-key do a whole 180 on you and will start babying you so much that you will start getting annoyed a bit lol, he will just be squeezing your cheeks while talking through a pout "oh my baby, you're having such a hard time aren't you? tell me what i can do to make it better" like bro maybe laying of for a bit and cuddling you will be okay for starters lmao but he's so cute so how could you ever be mad at him?

wonwoo: he becomes extra gentle with you it makes your heart ache a bit. when he wakes up and notices that you aren't next to him so he immediately gets up to look for you, only to find you on the couch, squeezing your stomach with furrowed eyebrows. he's immediately getting down on his knees, stroking your hair as he prods and asks what's wrong. after you tell him that it's that time of the month again, he's immediately preparing a bath for you that you can relax into while he prepares the breakfast (something easy but yummy because jeon wonwoo should NOT be trusted around knives lol), maybe even joins you if you want to. the rest of the day will be spent in his arms, where you always feel the safest, trying to overcome this difficult day with his help

woozi: see, this is where i see this getting kind of tricky. hoonie wouldn't ignore you or be super unhelpful per say, but he also wouldn't go so out of his way like seungcheol or joshua would. if you want cuddles, he will cuddle you. if you need something, he will buy it for you. i guess he just feels a little bit awkward with the whole situation, so he won't be super extra prepared like the rest would, plus he isn't tracking your cycle so he doesn't really know when you will get your period until it already happens and you ask him to buy you the toiletries you need. i guess what i'm trying to explain is that he wouldn't pre prepare like some would? but he will still take car of you- he will give you as many cuddles as you want, his warm hand will rub those little circles on your tummy and his lips will kiss your temple many times in comfort. just be a bit patient with him, he just needs a bit time to feel less awkward about it

minghao: see, the thing about hao is that he will take such a good care of you without making you feel weak or like you're incompetent or something. he will get you the medicine, he will let you lay your head on his lap while he strokes your hair and reads you a book aloud, your cup would never be empty of the tea he bought for you on one of his visits to china, he will go to the store to buy you everything that you need, he will even shower with you and wash your hair for you because he wants to take that worry off your plate. and he will do all these things and not once will you feel like you're weak or anything like that. instead you will feel taken care of and so supported. it made you realise that it's okay to take a break and take care of yourself when you need it, as well as that it's okay to let other people help you when you're not really able to do it yourself.

mingyu: like hoshi, also low-key a bit scared of what this period may bring lmao except he won't avoid you, but he will just be more cautious of what he's saying and how he talks to you. if he does something wrong, count on him to cook you all your favourite dishes, to take care of all the chores and to basically grovel (bro low-key overdoes it, he just made a bit of a tasteless joke and he's acting like he killed your hamster lmao). will go beyond cuddling, that man will be glued to you any chance he gets, but the bonus of that is that his big hand will act as a heat pack for your tummy so...you win some, you lose some lmao

dk: oh this little angel, if he could, he would take all of your pain and let himself feel it if it meant you could go on with your life pain-free. constantly gives you forehead kisses and caresses your hair. he knows that you also struggle with self-love, especially during your period, so he always makes sure to say "i love you" extra often during those few days. lets you lay on his chest and nap as much as you want, even when he has things to do- that all falls to the second place of importance when it comes to taking care of you.

seungkwan: pretty good at taking care of you on your period. he won't rival joshua and seungcheol or anything like that but he's very decent at it. considering that he's always very busy, he's still very present in the moments where you need him. buys you everything that you ask him to, comforts you if your mood swings make you cry (might even come home earlier if possible), hugs you till you pull away, kisses you so softly it gets you teary eyed etc. overall, very good at knowing exactly what you need in moments like that.

vernon: surprisingly very decent in this, probably because he had sofia train him how to act in these type of situations when he was younger lmao. is still pretty much the every day vernon you know, he won't change how he acts around you like some members do. he won't attempt to cook anything (and i think that's for the best lol) but he will make you something to snack on until the delivery gets there. he will turn on some movie for you two to watch while you two cuddle, your legs resting on his lap while your head rests on his chest, his back comfortably resting against the back of the couch as he’s sitting. will call you before he goes to the store to ask if you need him to buy you something. overall sofia trained him well lol

dino: oh this little sweetheart, he would be so gentle and patient and sweet, he would talk in that gentle voice of his, and his eyes? his eyes would look at you so gently with so much love. he would make sure that you stay in bed the whole first day, he would tuck you in and fluff up your pillows. you wouldn’t see it but he would watch you while you sleep and would caress your hair gently, hoping that you will feel better once you wake up. cuddles are a MUST, his biceps being your pillow while his firm chest make for the extra warmth on your back, his lips littering soft kisses on your neck. he’s just so- i love him sm. don’t even worry about the things you might need such as pads, tampons, medicine and snacks- he’s already taken care of it. in conclusion dino best boyfriend

CHAPTER FOUR WAS SO GOOD UGHH literally the only fanfic I have ever loved so much and wait for updates like this. Am so excited for the next one!!!

On the topic of finally opening requests, I was wondering if I could ask for head-canons of what a relationship with Seishiro and a female reader would be like. If we want to be specific, maybe related to the fanfic? Like, how you would imagine their relationship would have been like back when they were still in high school, young and with Nagi’s past soccer career and all. Don’t feel pressured to write this, and good luck with everything!😽😽

── DATING NAGI!

Synopsis: Headcanons about having Seishiro Nagi as your boyfriend.

Event Masterlist

Pairing: Nagi x Reader

Word Count: 0.9k

Content Warnings: none really, just generally fluffy and silly

A/N: AHHH THANK YOU SO MUCH ANON i hope you like where i go w the story in the future!! and hehe now that we’re in the past arc of peregrine you will actually get to see all of the nitty gritty details of their relationship in the fic itself so i won’t spoil it 🤫 but i love nagi ofc so i’ve added some general headcanons on what i think he would be like as a bf

Additional: part of my 500 follower event! see the event description and rules to make a request of your own.

no matter how the two of you get together, reo is somehow involved LMAOAOAO like bro is ALWAYS at the scene of the crime in some way shape or form just because i don’t think nagi would really pick up on the fact that he has a crush on you without outside intervention

it would also definitely be a jump scare when he confesses!! you would have zero idea it’s coming because he literally hasn’t changed how he acts towards you whatsoever

canonically he doesn’t really interact with a lot of people or have a lot of friends and he’s not aggressive with romance so i just don’t think he’d really know what the appropriate method of telling someone you like them is

would probably say some shit like “reo says i have a crush on you” and would be so nonchalant about it meanwhile you’re like “???” because you did not even realize he knew your name and also why is reo being brought up

i honestly think he would not be a bad boyfriend. yes he is lazy and unmotivated but he does what he needs to do and if something is important to him he generally puts in effort for it

that’s another reason why it would take him foreverrr to ask you out — he would have to like you enough that he realizes he does in fact want to have a relationship with you even if it is a hassle

he doesn’t have social media though so don’t expect there to be an official announcement that you guys are together or anything like that HAHA

he would probably forget to tell anyone that the two of you are dating and it’s not because he’s ashamed of you or is trying to hide you or anything he literally just does not care what other people think and would prefer not to talk them if possible so it never comes up

you’ll show up to an event with him and everyone’s like “omg nagi who is this” and he’s like “this is my girlfriend” and someone (probably otoya tbh) is like “since when have you had a girlfriend” and he’s like “it’s been two years 😐”

i think he would be fire at insulting people just because of how many video games he plays…that man has seen some of the worst sides of humanity

the world is lucky he’s a pacifist and avoids conflict because he has some vile stuff stored away (i will never be over him asking barou if he practiced kneeling because he’s about to make him his servant)

this particular quality makes him the BEST person to talk shit with

he’s not a gossipy boyfriend in the sense that he doesn’t have anything juicy of his own to contribute to the conversation but i’m pretty sure he mentioned he watches dramas at one point so you know he’s locked tf in if you need to complain abt someone

he will sit there and be so invested in the tea…def would not give any useful advice but he will make fun of anyone bothering you so you still end up feeling better

i don’t think he would get jealous honestly

the thought of you cheating on him doesn’t cross his mind at all because why would he date someone he didn’t trust fully???

i would say he expects the same from you because he would but at the same time he voluntarily talks to one (1) other person besides you and that’s reo so the opportunity for you to be jealous just wouldn’t even crop up

definitely super clingy and cuddly

loves being babied too

according to epnagi he has this whole automatic system in his apartment to clean and do laundry and i think he’d be fine if you appropriate that so no more cleaning!! but you will have to cook because that man literally only eats fruit jellies

genuinely how is he so built and not dying of malnutrition SKJFDSHKJ

he probably is terrible at coming up with date ideas so it’s up to you to plan things

again it’s not malicious i think for him just spending time with you is his ideal date!! like he doesn’t see the point in getting dressed up and going somewhere fancy when you could just eat at home and be comfortable together

but if it’s an important day or you tell him that you want him to suggest something for once, he WILL go all out (which means calling reo for advice and doing what he tells him to)

overall communication is key with him. he’s not particularly sensitive or in tune with other people’s emotions so being passive aggressive or expecting him to read your mind will honestly just end up making your mood worse because he will not pick up on the fact that something is wrong

but if you tell him what you want him to change he will happily do it!! he just needs to be told very clearly if you’re upset or need him to do something different

honestly it would be very refreshing. there are zero games with nagi and he doesn’t really try to hide anything — what you see is what you get 100% of the time

overall 10/10 would date idc haters dni he’s a sweetheart and he’s doing his best

[onelonelyghost0]

Ok, something I thought of while waiting for my college stuff and doodling, how would Dipper and Mabel react to eyes/paranoia/geometry? Like I’ve read so many good Mystery Twin aus that do so much justice to them but like… there’s varying reactions to that.

Hear me out; I recognize that most people do very much turn into hermits or try their best to avoid cameras and eyes and stuff but, being someone who constantly thinks something is watching them, what if they went the complete opposite? For me, if I know what’s watching me is mine/watching out for my good, it’s better. I routinely draw eyes on myself to act as “watchers” and tbh it helps with the anxiety for some reason. What would the twins do for this?

I completely see them hating the Eye of Providence, crossing out triangles on their homework, finding every possible way to protect themselves, but again, what if they employed their own “watchers”?

We have no idea if this could work in universe (at least I don’t) and again, it could just be for comfort. I love it when I know people are watching me, but if there’s none of that, I’m convinced something is watching me to bring about destruction. Yes it’s awful and I’m working on it but the eyes help. I’ve sewn eyes onto clothes, drawn them on my notebooks, hell I usually have them somewhere on my actual skin because I feel that they watch out for me.

Give me Dipper who tattoos his own runes and eyes on himself, taking them back and warding himself for his paranormal research. Who slowly becomes more and more eldrich the more time he spends with the creatures, who is constantly aware of everything because the eyes he has can see for him, at least slightly. Give me Dipper who knows everything about everyone, who has panic attacks because of what he Knows, who has to be careful of what he says to people, who begins to question if he is now like Bill, if he will use this the wrong way, who begins to seclude himself, because he would never cheat the world with this, but he would help it.

Give me Mabel who does the same, but more quietly. She always puts an eye on her sweaters and jewelry, for herself and for others. Who doesn’t delve into the world that Dipper loves, but still sees it. She doesn’t need anything to see the Fae now, nor the creatures who take measures to never be seen by humans. Give me Mabel who becomes like a protector, a shoulder to cry on, a listening ear for the kids who don’t know what to do. She can see their emotions, and can push them towards the right decision, but always remembers that if she goes too far with her new skills she could still create the next weirdmaggedon. The knowledge crushes her as she draws another eye, this time across her collarbone, she cannot afford to hurt others again. She squares her shoulders and goes out to help again, to stabilize her brother, and to Watch. She knows Bill, knows his tricks, knows how he used everyone around her, and she will never let it happen again.

Give me Mystery Twins who become not so human anymore. Not on purpose, no, they never wanted this. But they will not put the responsibility they picked up on anyone else’s shoulders. Give me the twins who cannot back down, who negotiate with the creatures of this world to not wage war against the humans, who work behind the scenes to better the lives of human and nonhuman alike. Give me the forbidden knowledge they lay claim to. They stop aging after a while. No one notices. They are too focused on keeping the bad away. Too focused on keeping Bill out, trapped, and keeping themselves safe.

Give me Mystery Twins that become cryptids. They protect their homes, and they do so with tooth and nail. They will fight dirty, and they will play every hand they have, but they will not cross certain lines. Mabel can manipulate someone into doing whatever she wants, but she will never push them too far. Dipper could lay out your darkest fears, push them into your brain, forcing you to live them over and over, but he will never stoop as low as Bill.

Anyway, this went way further than I thought it would and if people like it I’ll write a fic ig, the ideas are all swirling around in my brain, but I just had this idea and had to share. Being someone who deals with wondering what is good and bad and how people feel and what is convincing vs manipulating, I saw myself a lot in the twins, and also in Bill, and I’ve worked to make it better. But I love the idea of the eyes I draw looking out for me, and I wonder if the twins would like it too.

And how everyone else would react when the eyes end up actually watching them.

Maybe I could call it the Watcher AU?

[ironunderstands]

Not a question, just very happy it's not just me loving IP3 (or trans Ratio for that matter). Yap away on both

Ugh I love them both so much

Most of my headcanons are when I find something to be better and/or more interesting than it is in canon, or something that’s a great extension of canon, and that’s exactly what trans Ratio is to me.

It takes his already present insecurities and squares them, as now the doctor has to contend with not just being a SMART enough man, but being a smart enough MAN, and adding that extra layer of misery and complexity is just so delightful.

By taking a character racked by self doubt and adding another layer to it, like Ratio being trans, you complicate his current insecurities and give new perspectives to look at them from.

Like in canon Ratio exercises so much because he wants to be the most perfect, best version of himself and has been doing it since a very young age (middle school).

But then you add him being trans to that, and suddenly he’s not just combating being perceived as not good enough, he’s combating being perceived entirely, attempting to try and get others to view him the way he really is, and attempting to live up to whatever masculine ideal that would push away his dysphoria, something prominent within his life from a young age.

I’ve kinda dived into this within my fics about it, but I like the idea that Ratio keeps this a secret from everyone- and I mean everyone. He already doesn’t live up to his own expectations of himself, so to have the rest of the galaxy find out that he doesn’t live up to their expectations of him either (ie being a cis man I mean you cannot tell me there aren’t like hundreds of people in universe begging for his uh- yeah), it would crush him.

I mean considering how guarded he is already, adding another thing to hide behind that alabaster mask would be fun, even if I think Ratio is likely at least a decade post-op + post-transition, so it’s not like he has to bind or anything, but the threat is still there. Especially considering his well known love of baths- imagine if he avoided the public baths at his home planet (considering how heavily Greek/Roman inspired Ratio is), and how that might affected him growing up, or just the tendency of shirtlessness in general.

There’s just a lot of possibilities and intricacies to it that makes me really like this particular headcanon, and it will always be canon in my heart haha. I have some more silly things behind it, like me wanting to give Aventio and Ratiopaz biological kids because it would be cute, or just the inherent joy of the big buff guy actually being the trans one rather than who you would expect it to be/who it’s stereotypically made as- Aventurine, as I like when characters have traits you don’t expect them to possess.

I also tend to dislike Aventurine being made ftm because he’s implied to be an SA survivor and rep for amab victims is already kinda abysmal so I don’t like taking it away, also I just think it’s boring tbh, at least for me it just doesn’t interest me.

Trans Topaz is a whole other discussion, personally I think she’s mtnb, and more femme presenting (I’d make her use she/they in my fics it’s just pronoun swapping when writing polyamory is miserable and anybody who’s ever written it can attest to that 😭, it’s there in spirit I promise!)

I honestly don’t have deep reasons behind this one, it’s just pure vibes. Someone was like, “Topaz gives nonbinary” once on here and I’m like yeah, yeah she does 😭. She reminds me of Childe a lot and I also view him as nonbinary so she’s kinda in a similar boat.

I think she’s very motherly but like in the way Mother Nature is if that makes sense? Mother is mothering but she’s also a creature tm* and certified tax collecting humanity loving entity. Also I have a close friend who’s a trans woman and Topaz reminds me of her so like, bam ur trans now lol (hi Alice if ur seeing this).

As for Aventiopaz, I fear I’d need a whole other post dedicated to why I like them. You guys know why I like Aventio, Avenpaz also require a whole other yap session, and Ratiopaz is the best rarepair ever fight me. Generally I like it because it’s really sweet, the dynamic is hilarious, they are the power trio of all time, they have great gameplay synergy, and their designs complement each other a lot- being primary colors and all.

I also enjoy their individual unique relationships to the IPC and how that might affect their interactions with one another, both in canon and in my brain. Moreover the trio of coworkers who are well known around the office for a) getting the job done and b) being absolutely obnoxious around one another (in a good way) is incredibly fun and I enjoy the idea of all the shenanigans they would get up to.

Perhaps my next Aventiopaz fic would be them going on a mission together or something, as I definitely want to write another one, and also update my slideshow of the parents au, I’ve just been so busy and a bit unmotivated 😭 so hopefully I can get to that soon

[harmlessghosty]

Saw the vamp!touchstarved character braunrote and I offer my opinions:

Vampire Vere would be ruthless before he really falls in love with reader. He's greedy and wouldn't think twice about draining someone. But tbh I think when he gets close/serious with reader he'd still be greedy and messy and shit but he'd drink readers blood like it's fine wine. He gets his main fix from other victims but really savours reader. Expect it to be extremely bloody tho, he likes it to look like a crime scene xD

Leander for sure tries to kinda hide it. Not hardcore, bit he tries not to tell EVERYONE. He won't go our of his way but also you wouldn't know by just looking at him. I also think he'd be hesitant to drink from his SO and would make it way romantic, or at least he'd try

Mhin would go out of their way to hide that their a vampire. Would NEVER EVER dream of drinking from a person. They and up having to do it but they won't be happy. Also if their SO asked for them to drink their blood Mhin would refuse 100 times before agreeing. Feels very bad that they actually enjoyed it.... Might have gone a bit overboard too (vere did find out and tease them to hell and back fs)

I don't have much on Ais and Kuras rn cause... Brain empty

VAMPIRE TOUCHSTARVED BRAINROT, LET’S GOOOO! I love love LOVE all of your headcanons. Absolutely love them.

—

Vampire Vere would definitely not think twice about murder. MC would find him dabbing at his crimson lips with bloodstained, monogrammed handkerchiefs more often than not. And when he wants to feed from his beloved? It’s an entire show he puts on. They get a candlelit room, a nice hot meal, tons of fluffy pillows and blankets…the whole nine yards, before he leans so close, his breath runs across the nape of their neck. “You smell delightful,” he whispers, a firm kiss pressing to their skin. “I’m sure you don’t mind that I eat after all of this preparation I’ve done for you, hm?”

Leander DEFINITELY tries to hide it. There are rumors, of course, swirling around Eridia, but no one really knows what’s true and what’s not. Turns out, being a contracted killer really helps conceal his vampiric identity! He can easily do away with bodies and no one will ask questions. Why do criminals keep appearing with two holes in the same spot on their neck? Weird. Maybe someone should hire Leander to look into that and find the culprit…and of course, he’ll take MC along for the journey, which seems a bit more roundabout than it should be. If he needs to feed during the trip, then perhaps they’re a good source of sustenance. After all, does it matter if his beloved knows his secret? They won’t tell a soul unless they’re trying to get themselves mysteriously killed too…

Mhin would never drink from a person…unless they’re absolutely starving to death. Even then, I imagine it to be a moment of disgust with themself—retching and vomiting the first few times they feed, then admitting they need to drink blood for their survival and doing it as humanely as possible. They knock out their victims and only drink until the hunger has barely subsided. They choose spots beneath clothes where marks could be mistaken for bug bites. Mhin struggles to admit they like MC’s blood more than anyone else’s; they really wish they didn’t, but they can’t get enough of it, to the point that they find it difficult to sleep beside them at night without absentmindedly running their fangs along MC’s skin. They’re just so hungry around their partner. Maybe…just a little sip…

Ais is a voracious beast and doesn’t try to hide his vampiric nature even a little bit. Everyone knows he’s dangerous, and everyone avoids him like the plague. And naturally, Ais with Vere is…horrifying. There’s a lot of begging for him to give mercy and let them live, but he’s no fool. If he lets too many of his victims live, then surely people will find a way to gang up on him. While that’s an interesting proposition, he’s not sure he wants to fight a dozen weak-ass humans when he’d much rather fight someone of his own caliper; humans are just too pathetic. When he meets MC, he’s constantly teasing them with flashes of his long fangs. “Scared? Should be, little sparrow,” he says, scrubbing dried blood off of his knuckles. He even sneaks up to feed from them, thinking MC will just be another victim, but somehow becomes smitten with their taste instead. They should be savored. It’s much more satisfying tasting them on occasion than devouring them whole so quickly.

Kuras is meticulous. He’s very much prone to drawing blood through proper means and drinking it from simple testing tubes in shot-like doses. If a patient needs a transfusion or a blood test, he’ll simply take an extra vial or two as payment. Yes, he feels guilty at first, but he can’t allow himself to starve when he needs to help the people of Eridia as a consequence of his terrible past. When MC is discovered practically bled out and armless, he makes sure to put them back together and doesn’t take a sample, not even a little, but he strongly considers it. He even has to wipe drool from his lips because they simply smell so strongly of beautiful blood. When they get closer to him and realize his true nature, he offers little more than a calm smile. “Would you like to sustain me as well, or do you prefer our current partnership instead?”

It took you some time to arrive at the safehouse. It was located even further at the east. You helped clean his wound and took a seat on the couch across the door. Your rifle was steady in your hands to be able to take care of uninvited guests. You didn’t hear from the other two teams in a while, therefore you started to get a bit nervous. You were ordered to go to the safehouse as soon as the target is down, and you had to follow your orders. But the urge to run after the others to see if they might needed backup was huge. “Calm doon.” [Calm down], Soap sat next to you, a protein bar in his palm and handing you one. “I am relaxed.” – “If ya say so.”, he smiled teasingly at you while you took the snack out of his hand. You knew they would be fine, but the pure thought that you were sitting here while they could need your help was a heavy weight, a burden on your shoulders.

Still, you sat here, with Soap by your side and waited. Waited for God knows how long it would take for the others to arrive. “Soooo…”, the Scot started poking his elbow in your side, and you glared at him, part of you jokingly. “Johnny, eh?”, he smiled widely at you. You couldn’t suppress a chuckle but got reminded how you treated him before. “Sorry…” – “Dinnea. I offered ye, ’s fine. Just the …”, you shook your head and made him stop. “That’s not what I mean. I’m sorry for my behavior.” You looked at him, your gaze filled with an apologetic glimpse, and he just smiled back at you. It wasn’t the toothy, cocky grin you usually would see; it was that genuine soft smile. “Maybe, we should just start again.”, he reached his hand out towards you, “Johnny ‘Soap’ MacTavish.” You smiled back at him and grabbed his hand, and shook it, “y/n ‘Skadi’ Quinn.” It didn’t hurt, it felt good, and so familiar. This could be a brand new start. For this team and for yourself.

“I think we need to kill some time, eh?”, Johnny leaned a bit further into the old couch, you nodded. “Let’s play a little game,” his statue was relaxed but his eyes never left the door in front of him. “Do I have a choice?” He chuckled, “Yer stuck with me, so not really.” – “What’s on your mind?” – “This or that. I tell ye two things and ye have to choose. To get to know each other. Y’know.” – “Bring it on.” Your figure relaxed a bit more, while listening closely to your teammate. “Driver or passenger?” – “Driver.” – “I can see that. Summer or Winter.” – “Fall.” – “ ’s not how it works, lass.” – “What? I don’t like either.” You threw the ball back and forth, you started to ask him a few questions and you chuckled about some way too obvious choices.

“Dark or blonde?”, you heard him asking again, but this one confused you, “Like what? Beer?” He let out a warmhearted laugh, “Nae bonnie. Like yer type”, he shook his head in sheer amusement. You shrugged, “Don’t have one.” – “Oh c’mon, everyone has a type to be into.”, he now faced you instead of the door. Searching in your face for some kind of hints. “To be honest, I don’t care much about looks…plus I’m not really into dating anyways.”, you said calmer than before, looking at him and then back to the door. Bringing some memories back you’d rather forget, but they’ll always stay a part of you. “Yer messin’ with me.” – “I’m not messing with you, MacTavish.”, you sighed and pinched the bridge of your nose. “Nae danger! Guys dinnea ask ye out? I mean yer braw as fuck. “[beautiful], his voice was filled with disbelief. “That’s not what I said.”, your cheeks became warmer, and you tilted your head a bit further away. Not wanting him to see your blush. “So, what is it then?” – “I simply don’t go. As I said, not into that kinda stuff.”

Johnny wanted to say something, but before he could, you heard a noise coming from outside. You instinctively went up, gripping your rifle, finger hovering over the trigger. The Scot moved over to the door, his weapon also in his hand. The door opened, and your body immediately relaxed as you noticed the familiar statue of the Lieutenant standing in the door frame. “Lt, yer made it!”, Johnny fist bumped his shoulder. “Thought anything differentx Sergeant?”, his tone was mocking and low, his eyes trailed over to you. This intense glare still presence in his dark eyes. “course not.”, Johnny smiled at him. “Where is Gaz?”, you asked him while relaxing your muscles furthermore. “Got separated.”, Ghost walked further into the room, Soap closing the door behind him. “Bet he’s alright. We heard from Price before.” Something felt off about him, not him in general but about his presence. You didn’t know it for sure, after all you didn’t know him. Maybe it was just the situation itself. Price told you about it, and after your talk, that one evening with Ghost, you knew that this team was everything to him, as well as to Price. So, you didn’t give it a second thought.

Johnny and the other man chatted slowly away; Ghost more listening to what the Scot had to say. Ghost sat on a wooden chair across the couch, where you were seated. Johnny circled through the room while telling the story of your bike ride and how he thought that you would actually get both of you killed. Ghost even chuckled a few times about Johnnys overly dramatic nature. But you couldn’t shake your doubts about Ghost’s presence away. You stood slowly up and walked over to him, a steady but determined step. If that would be a false track, it would lead into nothing than embarrassment, but the doubts clung to you. Stopping directly in front of him and putting yourself at his eye level. He tried to avert his gaze, but you placed your hand directly under his chin. Your fingers brushed over the fabric of his mask, forcing him to look back at you. “Bloody hell, woman.”, he hissed through gritted teeth and tried to push your hand away. Your eyes widen for a second as you stare in his eyes. “Where?”, you voice was stern, but not cold, rather concerned.

“What the…”, Johnny looked at the scenery on front of him completely flabbergasted. You only ignored Soap because you knew Ghost already understood, “Sir, I asked you a question.”, you let go of his chin. You noticed earlier that something was off, but now, you were sure. He had some kind of poison running through his blood. His eyes showed it. They were stained yellow and slightly red. You had seen it before. “Doesn’t matter.” – “Due all respect but don’t bullshit me. Where?”, you spit at him. Did he rather wanted to hide an injury than showing weakness in front od you? He nearly growled back, but turned on the chair to reveal his back that was slightly blood stained. Nearly not noticeable through the dark clothes and layers. “Lt. Why dinnea yer say something?”, Johnny asked in disbelief. He just exhaled deeply, annoyed. “Whatever is in there, we need to get it out.”, you crouched down next to him.

“Permission for me to perform first aid.”, you looked back at him, and he just nodded. You pulled out one of the med kits of your vest. While Ghost took his tactic vest off and pulled his bodice up to reveal the wound. “Let’s get yer friend out, eh, Lt.?”, Johnny teased while handing you some clean alcohol wipes. You could feel how tense your Lieutenant was as you brushed over his bloody spot at the lower back. You tried your best to get the bullet out without causing any more pain, but a bullet that deep was never to be extracted without sorrow. You could hear him groan whenever you moved with the sharp metal in his flesh. “Just a little longer, you’re doing just fine.”, you soothed while you placed your gloved free hand a bit higher on his back. You couldn’t help it, but your gaze wandered over his perfect toned back, clinging at all his scars, any of them telling a story you would gladly listen to, before turning you attention back to the cause of the whole misery. All his muscles were tense, and you could feel them flex with every movement. This situation was intense but somehow not uncomfortable. You could hear him deeply groan once in a while. You whispered some more sweet nothings into his directions, telling him that everything would be fine in a few, and he stayed silent, besides the huffing and groaning.

“Alright Ghost. Let’s stitch you up.”, you said relieved. You handed the bullet over to Johnny, who started to observe the little metal. “Just get it done, already.”, he hissed with a relieved but still stern voice. “Uhu, as long as I praise you, you’re taking it without a word, but now you’re all commanding again, huh?”, you chuckled while preparing the needle. He only snarled, and you knew the amused laugh from Johnny wouldn’t ease his mood. “I think the bullet is soaked with lead acetate.”, Soap said while putting it aside. “Fuckin’ bastards.”, Ghost groaned again as you let the needle carefully slide through his flesh. “You should still get checked properly.”, you said while completing the last stitch and standing up from your position. “Should be fine for now.” He’s turning his body slightly to you, sitting straight back on the chair. When he looked up, he’s greeted with something that really left him astonished. His eyes just a millimeter widened. You’re standing in front of him, eyes closed trustfully, your lips tugged upwards into a genuine beam. It was different then before. He felt different than before. Maybe it was just the adrenaline. “Bonnie, Lt. The evac is here.”, Johnnys voice dragged you back to the here and now. He came to pick up Ghost’s gear as well as his own, and all of you walked over to the jeep.  

The rest of the day went calm by. Price and Gaz were alright, Ghost was in the infirmary, Soap took a long nap at one of the couches at the common room. You sat there reading your book, as Price walked in. “Kyle will start decoding the intel we collected tomorrow. Would you help him?”, he said while sitting down in his armchair. “Sure. Two heads are better than one.”, you said, not looking up from your book. Price glance lingered onto the deep asleep Scot. “You did good today. I’m proud of you.”, he said, averting his gaze towards you. “Thanks, Cap.”, you buried your face behind your book. “How’s the Lieutenant?”, face still behind the book, blush creeping over your cheeks. “Good, thanks to you. Already bragging to leave the infirmary.”, he chuckled while grabbing a book himself while you placed yours down. “I’ll head out for a smoke and call it a day then.”, you say while stretching your limbs out. “Don’t smoke too much. Could get you killed.” – “You’re the one talking. Plus, I believe we’re doing by far deadlier things.”, you laughed while leaving, which earned you a chuckle from him, slowly fading away as you walked through the hallway. Maybe lowering your guard around them wasn't even bad at all.

You sat at the wooden terrace, leaning back on your elbow, dragging at the fag between your fingers and watching some recruits making their evening jogs while the sun was still up. A huge relaxation running through your muscles. This team wasn’t so bad, this place wasn’t so bad. Maybe you should give this therapy thing another go. Maybe you could handle it yourself. You didn’t know, but you knew that you slowly grew to like it here. Your head fell slightly back, exhaling a thick cloud of smoke. “Mind if I join?”, you immediately noticed his deep voice and shook your head no. You sat in silence next to each other, it wasn’t an awkward silence. Your eyes sometimes moved to his side, and you wondered, you wondered what the person behind that mask would be like. You wore a mask yourself for a long time. It made you help draw a difference between yourself and your ‘in-battle-persona’, a sharp line between your emotions and orders. Even if this line melted through the years and you became more yourself, you still wear a mask sometimes. Still, wearing it, not like before, but it helps.

When his head tilted into your direction, you caught yourself staring again, and so did he, so you instantly forced your eyes to look ahead again. He exhaled deeply. Were he nervous? You couldn’t tell, but before you could lose yourself in your thoughts again, you heard his voice again, “Thanks... for today.” You blinked in confusion before the corner of your lips tugged up, “Anytime.” His statue crumbled a bit, and you could see how his hands fidgeting with something in his pocket. Clearly, to say that his sheer presence made you nervous. Something you could completely shove aside on missions; you felt it all the more now. “Never heard of the brand yer smoking.”, his accent was thick, and you looked up at him, a bit confused. “It’s…”, before you could answer, he held out something to you, what made you stop immediately. His head is still facing forward. “Ya left it that one night on the patio.”

You instantly grabbed the box, and a deep exhale of relief left your throat. “Bloody hell, I thought I lost it.”, you chuckled a bit nervous. A quick glance if everything would be still in it and to your fortune it was still there. You didn’t take the necklace out, not wanting him to see how desperately you were to feel this cold metal against your skin again. Then you took another cigarette and held it over for him. “Want to try one?”, your tone was soft. No thought was wasted that he might feel uncomfortable to smoke in your presence. You knew from Johnny that he indeed did smoke, but you also knew that Ghost literally clung to his mask, and he definitely wouldn’t take it off around you. That you respected, still he took the cigarette out of your grip. You held out your lighter to ignite the fag between his hands. You didn’t look his way as he slightly pulled his mask up, just above the lips. You didn’t want to make him uncomfortable, still you stole a small glimpse of his well-shaped jaw. A slightly stubble covering his skin. You stared again as he blew out some smoke. Your eyes were dragged to him like moths to the light. You couldn't help it.

“Who was he?”, the question totally dragged you back, your gaze now lingering on the wooden box in your hand. A sorrowful sigh permeates through your lips. “Who?”, your question was pathetic and unnecessary. You knew he would've taken a look in the box; you knew he would see the tag, but still, you hoped he meant something different. “Randy Ellison.”, his voice was still stern but not as cold as you were used to it. Your head fell back once again while you let a cloud of smoke out. You could easily ignore it. You could easily lie... “Droplet. He was a teammate before I joined you guys. Saved my life…more then he ever knew...” Ghost nodded, “A teammate…”, his voice was so uncommon. It made you feel strangely safe. It pierced right through the ice that you tried to create so badly. “More like a brother… one I never wanted but somehow needed…”, you added while puffing out again, a little smile appearing on your lips. “I see....”, his tone was so pure. Your eyes trail over to his figure. Yes, he was still the stoic figure you got to know. But these two little words held so much weight in it. “We have no choice then keep going, huh? That’s what they would want us to.”, he now tilted his head slightly and pulled his balaclava back down, pressing the fag out on the patio. “Seems like you’re right, Ghost.”

You hugged your knees, pulling them close to your chest. Your head rested on them while you watched the sky slowly turn red and orange. You kept sitting here for a while in this solace silence. You never thought that his presence could be something different than intimidating, nearly soothing. All of a sudden, he broke this silence once more, “Simon.”, you lifted your head into his direction again, and you found his eyes already on your figure. Just now, you realized how beautiful deep brown his iris was. Your gaze switching between his two eyes. A bit taken aback from the situation and even more confused. His expression was not really nervous, but also not relaxed. He knew that it was a big, big step forward for both of you, but if Johnny could trust you, after Price already did, he should give it a try. Even if it only was for the sake of them. “'s Simon.”, he repeated, his eyes never moving away from yours. This intense eye contact made you feel lightheaded. You blinked a few times before your face relaxed. “y/n.”, you smiled at him, and you could’ve sworn that you could see the black fabric of his mask move the slightest, just above the spot where his lips stayed hidden.

[ninyard]

thanks for answering my previous ask‼️‼️ it’s okay if you can only write tips for your pov, i asked you YOUR process not someone else’s cus i like whatever it is you do to write, if that makes sense? i also don’t mean to shit on the way other people do things tho sjsjdnddjdj. you weren’t rude at all and i do see where you’re coming from‼️ i guess if i need to ask more specifically, how do you plot out ur socmed posts? i think that’s what i struggle with when it comes to writing my own? like i can find funny haha tweets or tumblr post for my/my friends charas to say but i wanna be able to write funny original stuff too? if that makes sense? 🫶🏽

I get that!!! This got long and it’s really messy so,, sorry if it doesn’t make sense~~

When it comes to making posts I personally don’t like to use already existing tweets. sometimes I can find inspiration in em but I’ve never intentionally looked up tweets to use for my socmed stuff. To each their own but it’s not for me! I don’t think they’re really socmed aus so much as like… incorrectaftgquotes type things? And I don’t really find much inspiration from it tbh. I might have one or two somewhere that are loosely based on a tweet I seen but I try my best to avoid that n make most of them as original as possible.

I guess know what kind of thing you’re going to make, in a way. My Exy fans au is essentially every big event in canon from an in-universe fans perspective. So that one’s easy to plot because it already exists and it’s just about coming up with the posts. Sometimes the fox tweets will just randomly branch off into their own things (like the Kevin-outing-Jeremy au) or sometimes they’re just their own standalone au series’ (like the andreil outing au).

I don’t really make long multiple-post “plotted” socmed stuff in the same way someone like Jas did with the Trojans au, but that’s just my personal preference. it takes a lot of work and it’s a lot like a fic in some ways!! It’s like writing a fic except it’s all dialogue and the dialogue has to be under 260 characters. And SOMETIMES there’s pictures. But they’re kind of just the same thing when it comes to plotted stuff. So maybe just do what you’d do if you were writing a fic!

In terms of coming up with funny things I guess it’s just like… don’t force it. If you’re finding something isn’t working, then don’t force it to work. I have all these ideas and scrapped tweets that just didn’t quite work for the post I had bc sometimes ya gotta accept something isn’t quite right. If you don’t want to just copy tweets and use those then try to find somewhere to start - for me that’s the hardest part of the ~random~ fox tweets and why it’s 1000000x easier to make a post that has purpose (like the party, or the q&a, or X au). I think finding pictures is a pretty good place to start, but I swear I’ve spent more time staring at a wall just trying to get into the zone of making tweets than time I’ve spent actually making them.

And I suppose it’s important to check like,,, are you (in the general sense) making them because you want to and have a funny idea, or is it because other people are/fomo/you see how many notes some of em get? Neither answer is wrong! But it’s easier to be funny, in my opinion, when I’m making them because i just randomly thought of a funny idea, versus making them because I feel obligated to or forcing things that aren’t funny because I “have” to post. Does that make sense? I always like to see when peoples’ socmed aus have some sort of story or reason, like the psu intern, or the foxes kids, or the Trojans au, or the au where Seth is still alive and tweeting like the menace that he would be. They’re always more interesting to me than posts that are just reposted tweets with Neil Josten slapped on em. But again that’s my personal preference!!!! Do whatever you want!!!!

Do you care if it’s ooc or not? Is it something that could happen in canon, or canon adjacent, or is it just an au where canon compliance doesn’t really matter at all? For me I try to make them as in-character as possible (with the exception of the fact that I don’t believe Neil, Andrew or Jean would tweet at all irl). I know it doesn’t bother some people if they’re ooc because they’re just for fun and that’s fine too. But them being “in-character” for me takes up a lot of space when it comes to coming up with the “plot” of the posts, if that makes sense!! (There’s always leeway when it comes to this tho - they’re never going to be 100% book accurate)

For me I almost have the characters as their own characters in my posts - which sounds crazy but bear with me. Like Kevin always typing with proper punctuation, and Dan always typing in lowercase. Neil doesn’t use text speak or shortened things like ‘bc’ or ‘lol’ whereas Nicky and Allison do. Nicky uses a lot of punctuation marks, Andrew uses proper grammar but doesn’t always use periods at the end of his posts, and he’s more likely to just post a picture than type out words sometimes. Does that make sense? Figure out how your characters are going to somehow have an individual voice through tweets. And it’s little things that probably don’t make a huge difference to most people but I care about those kind of little things way too much!!

TLDR; Why are you making them? Find where to start, don’t force it, and how in-character do you want them to be? Come up with your characters “voice” - how do they type/tweet? Just have fun!!! And don’t care about what other people are gonna think!!!!

Two Knives Chapter 3: Kyoshi- A Breaking Point and a Confession

Characters: Rangi and Kyoshi (RoK characters tbh)

Pairing: Rangshi

Summary:

Things have been stressful for Kyoshi. First, she sang a poem and now the whole kitchen staff thinks it’s about Rangi, and is sure that there will be gossip. Then, Yun asks her to join him for the Fifth Nation treaty signing. Now Rangi’s acting strange. It’s becoming a bit much for Kyoshi’s small corner of the world.

(Canon Divergent AU- Kelsang wasn’t the one who heard the poem?….aka What if it took longer for them to realize Kyoshi was the Avatar?)

Other Sites: AO3 

A/N: Kyoshi, sweetie, De Nile is a river….that exists……on a map. Maybe not the ATLA map, but you’re manifesting it, let's just say that. :’D

TW: More slight (internalized?) homophobia. Can I call it that? Or is it just general denial? It feels more like typical “my friend can’t like me because…..I’m me! General denial” that can also happen with straight couples…. but tw all the same just in case. 

____

Things had basically returned to normal since the iceberg. 

The staff had welcomed everyone back with uproarious cheers. Kyoshi had made a full recovery and returned to her duties. She had a new primary task of helping treat Kelsangs injuries from the fight. 

Yun was being celebrated for his feats and his waterbending escape. Lu Beifong had even scheduled a party just for his honor.

Yes, things were basically back to normal…. But more importantly. Rangi had gone back to her normal self. She was mother henning the hen out of Kyoshi. She was constantly checking up on her whenever she could. As if Kyoshi didn’t already have a thousand reasons to love the firebender, Rangi’s actions just made her find a thousand more everyday.

Well one new thing had changed about Rangi. She stared at Kyoshi’s hands a lot more often.

Kyoshi did hurt her knuckles in the fight with Tagaka, but after a few days the bruising and healing had run its course. So, at first, Kyoshi thought she was just concerned about the injury. Now, Kyoshi wondered if Rangi expected her to wear the gauntlets she got her? Surely not, they weren’t exactly servant-friendly. Or should she say, it didn’t make her look like a friendly servant?

Other than that, nothing else had changed. Oh, Kyoshi was keeping her promise to do whatever Rangi asked of her. So far, her requests weren’t that far outside of what she usually had to do. 

At least, until……right now?!

“Are you going to attend the Beifong party?” Rangi asked. The two girls were lounging in the brush behind the mansion. Kyoshi was on break, and they were sharing onigiri for lunch. Rangi was uncharacteristically eating rather slowly, she usually wolfed her food down as fast as possible. Kyoshi wondered if it was so she could enjoy the food at Kyoshi’s pace. 

Kyoshi looked at her, confused. “No? Why would I be invited?”

Rangi scoffed. “I mean, you were technically the one who took out Tagaka. You should be there.”

Kyoshi took a bite of onigiri, chewed it, and then swallowed. “Do you want me to go?”

Rangi mimicked Kyoshi before speaking again. “Yes.”

“I don’t have an outfit.”

“We’ll get you one.”

“Am I even allowed to go?”

“I’ll convince them.”

Kyoshi picked at the grass in front of her. She supposed it wouldn’t be that big of a deal if she did go. But there was one thing that was holding her back on committing to Rangi’s request. “I need to take care of Kelsang.”

Rangi was silent for a moment, and then sighed forlornly. “Then that’s what you should do.”

Kyoshi snorted. “So now you don’t want me to go?”

A smile played on Rangi’s face. “I never said that. I do want you to be there. Revel in the victory…. But Master Kelsang needs you, I won’t keep you from that.”

Kyoshi took in Rangi’s softened features, marveling at how beautiful the other girl was. Then she awkwardly laid her head on Rangi’s shoulder, trying her best to avoid the spikes. “Thank you,” she sighed and Rangi responded with a hum.

Kyoshi looked down at the hand she was leaning on to support most of her weight. It was so close to Rangi’s. She thought of brushing her hand up against Rangi’s, but pig chickened out at the last second.

The two stayed like that, eating in silence until a gong rang out, indicating that lunch was over. They both sighed and got to their feet, as they finished off their food.

Rangi was about to dash off towards the barracks when Kyoshi stopped her. The normally tidy soldier had a piece of rice stuck to the corner of her lip.

“Rangi, wait!” She gently plucked the stray rice from Rangi’s face. “There you go. You’re all good now!” She grinned at Rangi, showing off the grain that was stuck between her thumb and forefinger. 

Rangi stared at Kyoshi with an unreadable expression. Then she turned her attention to Kyoshi’s hand, her eyes hardening with intent. Before Kyoshi could speak, Rangi gently took Kyoshi’s hand, and ate the single grain from Kyoshi’s fingertips. Her soft lips brushing against her fingers from the action.

Kyoshi’s breath hitched, and she could feel a fire burning course through her. Before Rangi pulled away, Kyoshi was able to gently press her thumb and caress Rangi’s bottom lip.

“Thanks,” she said, her voice low and raspy. She tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and looked up with half lidded eyes. Then she smiled coquettishly at Kyoshi. “I don’t like wasting food.”

She turned on her heel and made her way to the barracks, this time with a slight sway to her hips as she walked away.

Kyoshi could only stare after her. Afraid that the fire inside her might catch the rest of the mansion on fire if she moved.

___________________

“You and Rangi seem pretty….. close,” Kelsang said nonchalantly.

Kyoshi jumped as she deposited the used bandages into the trash, and pulled out new ones.

“O-of course, we’re friends,” Kyoshi tried to cover up. She’d be more on edge of Rangi overhearing, but she’d already left for the party along with most other people.

Kelsang raised a knowing eyebrow at Kyoshi. “You don’t have to only be friends to be close.” Kyoshi’s heart began to throb as he continued to talk. “You can be something….in addition to friends.”

“We’re not….” Kyoshi started. Not sure where the sentence was going to end. She wasn’t sure what was going on between her and Rangi, only that something had started to change. “We’re not…. anything…. more….atthemoment.”

Kelsang hummed, as he scratched near his wound. Kyoshi smacked his hand away so that he wouldn’t mess with the scab, and placed some healing salve on it.

“Do you want there to be something more?” he prodded.

“You’re being a very nosy monk,” Kyoshi muttered. She kept silent as she applied the ointment, and then finally spoke again when she began to wrap the fresh bandages around his torso. “She wouldn’t want me,” she finally admitted.

Kelsang gave her an incredulous look. “What makes you say that?”

Kyoshi finished tying the bandages and began to put the supplies away. “She’s… well… she’s Rangi. And I’m just Kyoshi. Why would she want someone like me?”

Rangi was like the sun itself, she was a guiding light for everything in her path. Kyoshi was just a plant, happy to be basking in her presence.

Kelsang snorted and groaned. “Kyoshi, for the love of every spirit in existence, just confess to her.”

Kyoshi stopped what she was doing and whirled around to look at him bugeyed. “What?! D-did you not hear what I just said?”

“Yes, Kyoshi. But-ahem- if you don’t mind me quoting Hei-Ran for a moment, ‘It was so stupid, that I chose to ignore it for both our wellbeings,’” he said, looking at her with a raised eyebrow. 

Kyoshi stood there with her mouth hanging open. Kelsang never spoke in such a rough manner, well rough for a monk. Maybe it was the bloodloss? Perhaps he lost more than the doctor had considered? Was it messing with his mind?

“I’m going to get the doctor!” Kyoshi said, running out of the room.

“Wha-what for?!” Kelsang called after her.

“You obviously aren’t in the right state of mind!” Kyoshi yelled as she rounded down the hall.

“Kyoshiiiiii!” Kelsang bemoaned from his bed.

______________________________

Kyoshi threw some seed into the koi pond and watched as the koi came up and greeted her with gaping mouths.

What is Kelsang thinking? There’s no way Rangi feels that way about me! Yes we’ve been acting….a bit closer than usual. But that’s normal for friends, right?

Kyoshi wasn’t sure, she never had a friend until she met Rangi and Yun. All the other kids just tried to hit her with rocks. 

She tried to remember how the other children interacted with each other. Just how close they got. She remembered some of the girls would hold hands or interlock their arms, at least when they were younger…. 

Rangi and her hadn’t done anything like that. And what they had done was a bit more…..intimate.

Then her mind wandered to the iceberg. Her and Rangi’s face pressed close together, drinking each other in. Rangi flushed against her body, feeling every curve against her back. Her lips on Kyoshi’s fingers. What her lips would feel like against-

The sound of intense splashing knocked her out of her reverie. She looked down, the feed bag had begun to slink down her arm, and the food was falling with abandon into the pond. The koi were going crazy.

She quickly righted herself and fixed the upturned bag. She had emptied about a third of its contents into the pond….. She looked around the garden to make sure no one saw, then proceeded to hustle her way back to the barn. She weighed her options to lie and say that a frog squirrel was the one who reduced its contents after a strategic break in.

As she ran, her mind wandered back to Rangi.

Perhaps… Kyoshi would confess. Not because she thought it was a good idea. But because she knew she was reaching that breaking point, whether she liked it or not.

____________

The rain was torrential outside, coming down almost like a waterfall. It had been a few days since Rangi and Yun had left the mansion for the Beifong party. Partially from travel time, and partially from having to mingle with the politicians after the supposed party had ended. 

She sighed, a little grateful that the travel time would be cut down thanks to Kelsang lending them his bison Pengpeng, but she wouldn’t be able to see them until tomorrow at the earliest. She supposed she should be grateful, at least they weren’t caught out in this rain.

Again, she should be grateful, but it was overlooked by the aching of wanting her friends to be back already. For Rangi to be back.

She tossed and turned in her bed, insomnia taking her once again. She laid there, listening to the sky waterfall slamming outside her window, until a wrap at her bedroom door startled her.

Kyoshi looked at the door, confused. The only person it could be would be Kelsang or Auntie Mui. Nevertheless, she grabbed her night robe and threw it on over her clothes and approached the door. 

She swung the door open, and gasped at the sight in front of her. “Rangi?!”

Rangi stood in front of Kyoshi’s door, absolutely drenched. Her once fine dress was caked with mud at the ends, and the top dangerously sagged around her shoulders more than it was intended to. Her hair was done in a more intricate style, but it was now slightly falling apart, stray hairs falling out in various places. The hairs near her face clung to her cheeks and forehead. Her usually pale skin was flushed, possibly from the cold water raining down from outside.

Before Kyoshi could think to pull her in or ask her what was going on, Rangi flung herself at Kyoshi, knocking them both back into Kyoshi’s room. She buried her face into Kyoshi’s chest and she wrapped her arms around Kyoshi as if trying to shackle her in place. 

Kyoshi’s mind whirled, trying to catch up to her ever speeding heart. She awkwardly reached over, and closed the door. She held Rangi’s with one arm draped across her back, eliciting a sharp gasp from the smaller girl, and tried to guide her to Kyoshi’s closet so Kyoshi could wrap her in a towel.

“Rangi, what happened?! Is everything alright?” Kyoshi asked as she draped the towel around the smaller girl the best she could.

“No,” she whispered through small inhalations. “I mean, yes. Everyone else is alright but… I’m not.”

Kyoshi froze. Was Rangi hurt? Who would dare do that?! 

Kyoshi wrapped her arms around the firebender with fierce protectiveness. She wanted to protect her, even if the attack had already come. 

“Talk to me, what happened?” Kyoshi whispered in Rangi’s ear.

Kyoshi was met with more sharp inhalations, and that’s when Kyoshi realized that this was Rangi’s way of crying. 

Kyoshi hugged her harder, causing Rangi’s breathing to change again. “Are you hurt?”

“No,” she whispered again.

Kyoshi relaxed, but only a little. “Then, what’s the matter?”

“Oh, Kyoshi….” Rangi lifted her head from Kyoshi’s chest, to nuzzle into the crook of Kyoshi’s neck. Kyoshi could feel the girl’s nose and lips pressed against her. A mixture of ice and fire, that sent shockwaves down Kyoshi’s being. “Please…..”

Kyoshi gulped. She was….making a request. Ok, Kyoshi could comply! ….but what did Kyoshi need to do?

“W-what do you need me to do?” Kyoshi stuttered.

“I can’t do this anymore,” Rangi’s cry was barely audible. She lifted herself away from Kyoshi, and took Kyoshi’s face in her hands. 

Kyoshi’s wide eyes stared right into Rangi’s tearful ones. 

“Please, Kyoshi,” Rangi pleaded one final time, before pulling Kyoshi’s face down and pressing their lips together. 

Kyoshi’s eyes widened and then screwed shut. Her grip on Rangi loosened, and she was vaguely aware of the towel falling to the floor. Kyoshi’s entire focus was remaining stockstill, afraid of ruining the moment, as well as enjoying the warm glow that Rangi’s lips provided.

Until it was all cruelly ripped away.

Kyoshi’s eyes flew open to see Rangi’s covering her mouth, looking away, aghast. “I-I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have done that.” 

Kyoshi stared at her confused, unsure why Rangi was apologizing. For all she cared about, she was happy Rangi had done it. In fact, she hadn’t gotten her fill just yet! Why did it have to stop?

Rangi took a step back, as if she’d just done something wrong. Rangi ran a hand through her hair as she retreated backwards. “I-I’m sorry, I should go-.”

She made a break for the door. As she did, it clicked in Kyoshi’s head. Like the nimrod that she was, she’d made the wrong expression, again. Rangi must’ve thought she didn’t want her to kiss her. 

Just as Rangi started opening the door, Kyoshi lunged and slammed it before Rangi could fully open it. She kept her hand there, so the door wouldn't dare open. With her other arm, she snaked around Rangi's waist and hugged her from behind. They stood there, their breathing ragged. 

“Rangi, don’t go,” Kyoshi said, leaning down to nuzzle her face into the crook of Rangi’s neck. Rangi sighed and leaned back into Kyoshi’s touch. “I don’t want you to leave.”

Kyoshi picked her head up to look at Rangi, making sure to make the right expression this time. One filled with want and desire. And then she kissed her.

_____________

A/N: Rangi's dramatic ass would do a whole “I ran here in the rain to confess to you” fkdjsa TT0TT (also I know! I’m breaking the rules. Rangi confessing and kissing Kyoshi first? Le gasp! Sue me for I wanting to spice it up u_u)

Also, plant Kyoshi *holds gently in my hands* precious little plant :3c

Wait! I just realized! I broke my “crock pot slow burn curse!” :’D This is the fastest any char has gotten together in my fics! *looks at Thief in the Avatar Estate* Ok in my defense I did intend to get them together faster there, but plans changed! TT0TT

…Anyway, who wants to know what Rangi was thinking during all of this? :D “What did you do to Rangi?” (ʘ‿ʘ) You’ll find out.

“𝙲𝚑𝚒𝚔𝚊 𝚂𝚑𝚒𝚑𝚘𝚒𝚗”

-> My interpretation of Chika Shihoin

-> Warnings: Mentions of murder, small TYBW spoilers, I’m basically rambling and screaming about him I love him so much

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

RAJHHHHHHH I FUCKING LOVE THIS MAN SO MICH-

Anyways

I need to

Chew this man and shake him around Y’ALL DO NOT UNDERSTAND MY FUCKING LOVE FOR HIM

Y’ALL DO NOT

Okok back to serious shit

If any of these hcs seem eerily similar to @boquetofblades Chika that’s bc it’s MY BLOG bc I LOVE THIS MAN

SK MUCH

Okok gonna lock in fr

In my interpretation of him, Chika’s the 10th heir of the Shihoin clan. The reason why I say he’s not the first is because of how general lifespans are in Bleach. Tbh, I don’t know how the FUCK they work but I know they’re long as hell- so I don’t think he’d be the first- especially when the Blood War happened like

A bunch of years ago??? I’m not sure, and like, lifespans r p long thennnnn

Yeahhh

ANWYAYS!!

But anyways

In my interpretation, he was the 10th Shihoin heir before he became the 2nd Division captain- and he’s also the black sheep of the family, and f or a good reason

Bros a fucking ✨ murderer ✨

He’s infamous for the huge amount of bodies he’s racked up in his time, which is why Yamamoto recruited him

And honestly, Chika wrnt right along with it!!! Not to defend Soul Society, hell no, hes just wants to have fun!!!! He wants to be entertained!!!

He’s just silly like that!!! (<- a literal war criminal)

And the job was really entertaining for him. Not only did he get to see the fear, the anger, the determination crossing peoples’ faces in their last moments- it’s so fun to see their expressions, their body language, and what exactly they do in their final moments.

Not only that, but his team mates. His captain.

They’re nothing like the people he’s met before.

Just like him, they all want a cure for their thirst of blood- they don’t shy away from it, they’re nothing like his family, who just look the other way when he’s doing what he wants, already given up on trying to fix him.

So, he’s having fun with his teammates!! Even if they’re not having fun with him (except for Danjiro. He’s nice!), Chika still wants to spend time with them!

Nobody likes Chika though. What a loser.

Mainly it’s because nobody can tell what he really means.

He says something like ‘let’s be friends!’ Or ‘don’t be so formal with me!’, but the way he says it… it’s like there’s something behind it.

Something… unsettling. Something dark, something telling you that you can’t trust what he’s saying.

It’s like whenever he talks to you, he’s not trying to befriend you, but gain information out of you. Scrutinize you, like a jaguar scrutinizing if a small animal is good to go after or not.

He’s uncanny as hell.

The more vigilant members of Soul Society typically tend to avoid him, keeping conversations short and quick, wrapping it up as fast as possible.

The less vigilant ones often fall into his words, looking at him as genuienly friendly and making the conversations long, happy that their captain/superior is friendly.

He doesn’t… do anything to those he has long conversation with, to those who divulge more information than he should.

He doesn’t harm them, nor blackmail them.

He’s just… weird.

Anyways!!!

After the blood war, he was appointed the first head of the Onmitsukidō by Yamamoto, and he also rarely fights with his Zanpakuto!!! Sometimes, Chika forgets it even exists, leading him to have a poor bond with it, and take very bad care with it.

(Somewhere, a certain Zanpakuto maker is in pain because of this)

Speaking of Chika’s memory!!!

It isn’t bad, tbh. Like he’s got good memory.

He’s just selective.

For whatever he finds interesting, he makes sure to note and store, remembering it for hundreds of years!!

But whatever he doesn’t find interesting, Chika just

Throws away

He don’t care

If you’re not interesting to him, he won’t remember you. He may act like he knows you, pretending to know what you two talked about yesterday, but really, he doesn’t remember you.

He’s just good at acting.

He also created Shunkō!!! He didn’t perfect it in his time, so the usage of it was very unstable, super destructive, and also harmed Chika too. So, he didn’t use it as much. Sometimes he does it for shits and giggles.

He also strengthened the use of Shunpo.

Chika uses his legs a lot when fighting too

Uhhhhh anyways I think that’s all

Uhm

I’ll

Post something else if I have more thoughts about him

Yippeee 👍🏽

───✱*.｡:｡✱*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡*.｡✱ ───

Guys I love him so much

[synthetickitsune]

hiii. i absolutely love ur optional bias drabbles <3 if ur requests are open, i’d like to request if u could write about the aftermath of an argument with optional bias. fluffy ending of course. thank u ♡

Hello, of course! I'm kind of surprised anyone even remembers that one lmao. But tbh idk about this one, it's kind of awkward for me to write optional bias things ^^'

Optional bias | Aftermath of an argument angst | 0.8k

Why did you have to fight now? It’s not like you want to fight ever, but it hurts worse because it’s happened now. 

On the days you’re both free, you like to do some cleaning. It doesn’t take long at all when you both divide the tasks, and with the music turned on, you wouldn’t hesitate to say it’s actually fun. He dances with you, often interrupts you as you work to wrap his arms around you and steal a kiss. It’s almost heaven.

There’s no music today. No chatter, no laughter. Just heavy silence occasionally disturbed by something falling or doors being closed and opened. It feels heavy, just like your heart. You don’t like the tension that has settled over your home. The fight wasn’t even a big one, just a minor error in communication. And yet why does it feel like you can’t approach him?

Clearly he feels the same. It’s awkward when you need to pass by each other, both struggling to shrink as much as you can so you don’t touch. Your hands shake and awkwardly hover and flinch when you pass him something so you don’t accidentally brush your fingers against his. So many things get dropped just because he won’t risk that possibility.

You’re both adults, you tell yourself. You should sit down and communicate. It wasn’t even a big deal. Yet you’re both acting like children, sulking and avoiding each other. Stubborn.

Are you making it a big deal? What if he’s just acting awkward because you are? Is this your fault, somehow? You second-guess your ability to read the room. It really wasn’t that deep. Was he avoiding you just because his hands were dripping wet? Did the box of tissues only slip his hands? You couldn’t be sure. You’re of course aware that you tend to overthink things, but what if this time you were right? 

Sighing, you lean against the wall and listen to the silent apartment. Somewhere in a different room, you can hear his footsteps. It feels like you’re a stranger in your own home. You don’t like it.

A sigh. Some rustling. A loud bang echoing through the now empty apartment.

So you’re both finished with your tasks. You look at the clock and see that you’ve finished much faster than you usually do - but at what price? Feeling a familiar burning sensation in your eyes as tears pool behind your eyelids, you take a couple deep breaths. He must’ve gone take the trash out, and you use this opportunity to venture out of the bedroom.

As you make your way to the kitchen, you wonder whether you should try and talk to him now. You can’t imagine how painfully awkward it would be to avoid him now that you have no work to pretend to be busy with. 

What you don’t expect is the two cups of steaming hot tea sitting on the table. It’s almost enough to make your tears spill over. You take a seat and close your hands around your mug, matching his, and discover it’s your favorite tea. Perhaps you’re not the only one who feels bad about the situation.

Soon enough you hear the door being opened and closed again. Without a word, he joins you, even dragging his chair closer to yours. Your knees bump together, and you both get startled by the contact that you jump slightly and your eyes meet. Your boyfriend is wearing a sheepish smile, one that you return.

“I’m… sorry?” he guesses aloud, making you shake your head.

“If you’re sorry, then I’m too,” you sigh, “But honestly I don’t think either of us should apologize.” He nods, and slowly, experimentally, takes your hand into his. 

“This was the weirdest morning I’ve ever had,” he mumbles and visibly relaxes upon hearing you laugh.

“Tell me about it,” you agree easily, allowing for your fingers to intertwine with his. “Thank you for the tea.”

“I didn’t know what to do to make things right,” he chuckles, “I figured I can’t go wrong with tea.”

You hum before a comfortable if a bit nervous silence falls over you. Relief floods your body so quickly and strongly you feel like all strength has left you. You stand up from your seat and instead motion for him to move away from the table. It’s much more cozy in his lap. Immediately, his arms wrap reassuringly around you.

“Is everything okay between us?” he asks quietly, “It’s so strange, I don’t know what to do.”

“I mean, I guess? I’m honestly just really confused,” you groan. He nods in agreement and once your eyes meet again, you can’t help but laugh.

As if coming to a silent understanding, you don’t talk about it anymore. But a hint of anxiety lingers in your movements, your voices, both of you moving cautiously and speaking softly. It’s strange, it’s messy, but you suppose that’s just life.  

[ciaossu-imagines]

Hi ! I'm really enjoying your blog, i'm kind of amazed at how much you're able to write !

I'm super happy to see you writing for K tbh !

Love all about it ^^

Soo, um- first ask from me !

(I don't need to say it maybe but take your time, irl first then the rest can follow)

I was wondering how Kusanagi would try to date a friend he has known for some years, without any kind of romantic feelings between them before-

And.. his crush possibly is kind of avoiding him because they're overhelmed-

(They have dated only one person before)

But they want to date him

And in the end they do end up dating ^^

(I know it's a bit specific djjdjdjjdkd)

Thank you so much in advance ^^

Take care !

((Idk how to end this message))

You're great !

I’m so glad to hear you’re enjoying the blog, my dear! Thank you so much for the compliments and for sending in the request! Specific is good, so don’t even worry about that. The more specific an ask, the easier it is to know what exactly to write. Thanks again for sending this in and I hope you’ll enjoy the headcanons 😊

Okay, so just playing this scenario out in my head, I feel this old friend of Kusanagi’s is someone he would have met during his school years, possibly high school or even university, though I lean more towards them having met in high school.

I know you said there’s been no romantic feelings between them before, but I can’t really see that entirely. I feel like this was a situation where Kusanagi would have had a silent crush on them during a time when they didn’t feel the same way towards him at all, so he did nothing to act on it. And they probably had a couple times where they kind of developed a little crush on him, but at that point, he wasn’t into them at all or was in another relationship, so his friend never acted on those feelings and did their best to get over it. It was a case of timing never matching up and really, to the both of them, their friendship was the main priority. While Kusanagi is charming and charismatic and does draw people to him, does make lots of friendly acquaintances, he makes very few true friends so when he does, those friendships do mean something to him.

While the both of them would have had feelings during their school years, just at different times, when Kusanagi went to university, which I feel he did abroad and at a really prestigious school, the both of them really did figure that it was never going to happen between them and both of them really set those feelings aside and worked past them. His friend got into their one relationship they’ve had, and as we all know Kusanagi has somewhat of a reputation as a womanizer.

Now, Kusanagi is someone who is really naturally very flirtatious. He doesn’t even mean anything by it, doesn’t actually have romantic intentions or even strong attractions to some of the people he flirts with. Flirting is just really fun to him; it’s amusing and enjoyable. And it’s likely that he’ll playfully flirt with his friend, and they’ve gotten so used to it and really don’t think he means anything by it.

And that’s before he even experiences those romantic feelings and that crush on his friend return.

It works against him in a way. When he does realize he’s seeing his friend as someone he wants to date, someone he seriously wants to be with, it’s going to take him a little bit to really process those feelings. He has to decide if he wants to potentially ruin that friendship, he has to decide if he feels they’re at all into him in return. And part of how he’s always learned to figure that out is by flirting. So, he’s flirting more with that friend than before, taking it to a new level than his previous flirting. He’ll tease them about how, when they’re out doing things and hanging out, how much fun he’s having on their ‘dates’. And because his friend is so used to him being a flirt and having that penchant for teasing someone because it amuses him, they’re not making anything of it. They don’t assume it means he’s into them.

But it does bother them on some level, because they’re also starting to feel that resurgence of their old crush on him. The flirting makes them feel so nice, but at the same time, it kind of hurts them in a way because they really want him to be saying those things to them seriously and instead they’re certain that he’s just being his usual playful self and isn’t into them at all.

It’s kind of a lot for his friend, honestly. They’re dealing with all these emotions and because Kusanagi is trying a little more seriously this time to act on his feelings, he’s being more flirty, he gives more compliments, he starts touching them more, starts taking them out more one on one or asking them on ‘dates’ and they take it as him playing around and it fucks with their mind and their feelings and so they start to avoid him a little, which makes Kusanagi assume they’re not into him at all, even when they are.

It’s not going to be a quick solution or an easy one. Kusanagi has some stubbornness to him, he’s not easily going to cave and admit feeling the way he does towards someone who is giving him all these signs that they’re not at all into him. And his friend is really struggling with their own feelings and it’s going to be a little waiting game to see who makes that next move and it really is going to have to be Kusanagi’s friend, even in subtle ways.

If they start giving him hints that they might be experiencing the same romantic intentions, that’s really all he needs because without them giving him some kind of hint as to their feeling, some positive reactions to his putting out feelers, it’s really going to go back to those ‘well, they don’t feel the same, time to finally get over this and just go back to being friends’.

If there’s enough positive reactions to both of them subtly flirting and feeling each other out, to low-key dating each other, then I can see there being that surety that will let Kusanagi have that conversation that confirms that they’re a couple and exclusive.

Hello, dear writer. I am writing this to you in a moment of clarity in the storm that is my life. When I found your writings it was to find a small refuge of calm where I can distract my chaotic mind, even if just for a little while. You convey so many emotions with your stories.

A Chaconne Story is beautiful, seriously, I cried at the end. How it ended, how after five years they are no longer the same but at the same time they are. How the embers are still there waiting for the slightest spark to relight that flame, I love it.

In this story it is clear that, even though they have a long way to go to get their relationship back to what it was, it will not be the same, but better. They will end up together and that fills me with tenderness. But if not, rest assured that I will look for you and throw my pen in your face.

Without a doubt, Love and Liabilities is the story that has me most on tenterhooks. The complexity of this story both fascinates and terrifies me. You're doing a good job because you can't define the characters exactly. In this one, I don't think they'll end up together because Agatha won't change. People like her don't change, they just get worse.

They don't have a healthy relationship. I don't know if the protagonist is just obsessed with her or if she simply loves her so much that she can't forget her. Or maybe Agatha has that attitude for some reason that leads her to have that behavior, I don't know, we don't know much about her either.

I'm really intrigued by how you're going to continue it. Personally, I'd like them to end up together but with a good development and for it to be believable.

Maximoff's Anatomy is my least favorite, but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's just personal taste, no offense. I appreciate the stories you write. Never stop writing if it's what you're passionate about.

A hug from the heart of your dear reader, thank you. PS: I have translated the text with a translator since I don't speak English, sorry if there are any mistakes.

Hi! Oh my goodness, this is quite possibly one of the nicest things I have ever read. Thank you so much, truly, for taking the time to translate and type this out to send to me, wow! (Also there were no mistakes and I’m really really touched by you sending this in 😭)

I started writing to try and convey emotions that I couldn’t express very well. I’d always been told that I was too emotional when I was younger, but I think it’s become one of the qualities I like the most about myself. I’m very touched that my writing found you, and I hope that you’re doing alright 💜

Chaconne is my baby, haha. I will say that I wanted to write a sequel mainly because I love writing Agatha as a conductor, but also because I think the idea of being reunited with a past love after a few years is sort of…poetic, I suppose. There is still a lot that I need to write, but I’m so glad that you’re enjoying it and I hope you continue to like it!

(Also I will accept pen throwing tbh, it would lowkey be funny if they don’t end up together though- I say this as the person who has the rest of the story mapped out and knows exactly what is going to happen 💀)

Love & Liabilities is very complex. This was born after dealing with some personal things earlier in the year that I didn’t quite know how to express and also because Agatha as a lawyer is intriguing to me. I think the obscenely grey area a lot of lawyers linger in bodes well for her, haha. I’m hoping to do some of the heavier topics I want to address justice. I don’t want to spoil it, obviously, but I’m hoping that it will show different themes in a more humanized/sympathetic light while avoiding the more stereotypical route they can end up in.

I think all types of love can be powerful and beautiful but also very, very painful… I do sincerely hope you continue to enjoy reading it 💜

Also that is okay!! Maximoff’s Anatomy is definitely not for everyone and I understand completely 🥰 I promise, no offense taken haha.

I apologize for how long my response is, I just hope you know how much this meant to me. I really do love writing and getting to share my ideas on here. But I think my favorite part has been getting to connect with kind people such as yourself.

I hope you’re well and thank you again so much for sending this in 🫶🏻

Hi. I'd love to join your ask game if that's alright with you.

My initials are IEKA. my go-to emoji is this one: 😊 (easiest to use in any conversation tbh). I guess my practical self-love tip/exercise is to always put yourself first. I don't mean in it a let others suffer as long as I'm fine type of way but more of, you can't give what you don't have. So always make sure you have enough love, care, and resources for yourself before trying to help others.

Thank you!

Hi IEKA,

Thank you so much for being so patient and understanding~

The card pulled for “What do you need to learn to love about yourself” is: The Thread (LXX)

The practical approach to learning to love yourself is: 9 of Wands

What you need to learn to love about yourself is being able to find meaning in life amidst all the chaos thrown at you. And how you ground yourself through life’s ups and downs is through exercising. I’m really proud of how you explained that you need to have enough for yourself first before thinking of helping someone else, which makes so much sense why the Thread card showed in your reading.

It talks about being able to move past all that life has thrown at you as long as you keep yourself tethered to your truth/core values. Like, no matter how many times you’ve been tempted astray, so long as you don’t cave into societal pressures and keep being true to yourself, you’ll survive any storm you encounter in life.

So the reason why you need to honor and validate this ability to see meaning through the chaos of life is that you don’t even consider it as something worth praising, like it’s just a regular thing to do, when in fact, it’s something not a lot of people will actively choose to do on a daily basis.

So how you can practically appreciate and show love to this ability to find meaning amidst the chaos of life is through persistence and resilience. It’s something you already do, but another way to go about this is to make sure you don’t push yourself too hard to the point of burnout and over-exhaustion.

Maybe try readjusting your daily routine and include a mini unloading of stress by the end of the day. It could be through getting to a sauna after a workout, getting a massage, or scheduling when your everything shower would be for the rest of the week. Anything that can help you ease in and relax by the end of the day, to avoid the possibility of burnout would be a great practical way to appreciate this side of you.

This concludes your reading.

Do let me know how this resonates with you.

Hello! I’m Kei and I’m here for two romantic matchups!

I have messy brown hair in a pixie cut, pale skin, eyebags, blue and hazel heterochromia (not sure if I spelt that right lol), a thin body, boney fingers, some acne on my cheeks and blackheads on my nose, a big-ish nose that I tend to be insecure about, quite a few moles that I also am insecure about, thin pink lips with a Cupids bow, and round circle glasses.

I tend to be very sarcastic and snarky, but I’m also very nice to people that I like, I usually have a soft spot for people I have a crush on but I’ll usually avoid them bcs I’m too scared to interact with them and I don’t want to embarrass myself lmao. I get embarrassed easily, especially if someone’s flirting with me or doing something cringey near me. Whenever I’m around people I don’t like I usually just give them a nasty side eye or a glare. I don’t really have friends, but that’s because I’m homeschooled and I live out in the country so any town I’m around is usually 45 minutes away. I’m very selfless and I always put other people’s well-being before my own and I’m not good at saying no. I usually follow the rules and never get into any trouble because I prefer to stay under the raidar. I’m alone most of the time when I’m not learning, and I’m pretty isolated as well. I’m very empathetic towards plants and animals as well as the environment, so I like to pick up any trash or anything that could possibly harm the environment. As I’ve said before: I’m very sarcastic, but I’m also quite oblivious so I can’t detect sarcasm that easily. I’m pretty bad at social cues, and I’m oblivious when it comes to people who have a crush on me or try to flirt with me, but like I said, I get very flustered when I realize someone’s flirting. I’m very shy and nervous around new people, and I usually stay close to the person I know the most when I meet them.

I LOVE history, but mostly the creepy and darker side of history. I’m super into paranormal investigating and I’d love to investigate with friends and such. I like exploring abandoned buildings but I always prefer to have someone with me. I like doing creepy challenges with friends, I also like exploring the wilderness and nature. I LOVE swimming and I have a deep connection with the ocean and water. I can be pretty weird when I’m not being sarcastic.

Gender: Gender-fluid but I prefer he/him and they/them pronouns

Sexuality: Bisexual

Likes: Conspiracy theories, cryptids, mysteries, exploring, Percy Jackson, Harry Potter, scary stories, legends, creepy history, paranormal stuff, Star Wars, marvel, anime, video games, music, dr.pepper, candy (specifically chocolate and cotton candy), witchcraft, Ninjago, Tmnt, nature, cats, foxes, rabbits, the morning dew, science, and other nerdy stuff.

I have social anxiety, autism, depression, and some PTSD

I have a pretty traumatic childhood, but I don’t remember much of it because my brain made me forget, so kudos to my brain ig

I’d be in the oracle, bard, and abomination track at hexide.

My palisman would be a cardinal (took a quiz)

And if you don’t mind, could you focus on what the characters would think of me? Please and thank you! ^^

I match you with: Edric Blight!

-He is also pretty damn sarcastic and snarky at times. He loves it when people he likes (romantically or platonicly) are also like that. He likes being able to bounce off each other.

-He is also super nervous around his crush so when y'all talk to each other before dating it's a mess (affectionate)

-You follow the rules and don't get into trouble? Lame. Nah, just joking despite his delinquent personality he actually gets along pretty well with people who follow the rules. Just look at Amity.

-He likes animals a lot! He needs his partner to be caring towards animals tbh.

-He's horrible at taking care of plants tho- He would probably ask how to take care of plants, he wants to learn.

-All the blight kids love creepy stuff. So obviously that includes him.

-He would love to hear about creepy stuff and stories. If you tell him you explore abandoned buildings. First of all your cool as fuck for doing that, second of all please take him with that sounds so interesting.

-If he's interested in any shows or games you're into he can talk to you about it for hours.

-Also I don't know why but I feel like he would sweet food and drinks. So with your taste, he is so ready to get snacks for both of you.

-Y'all have a pretty similar personality. Hunter is more sarcastic and snarky with specific people (*Cough* Amity *Cough*) tho.

-He also has a soft spot for people he has a crush on. But despite that, he doesn't really think you have a crush on him unless you tell him explicitly.

-Yeah he gets putting others' well-being above your own. But (despite him doing the exact same thing) he is like 'No stop it, please value yourself more.'

-He used to (I still kinda does) follow the rules but he does it to get noticed lmao.

-He thinks animals and plants are neat. So (even if it's just how to take care of them) he'd be very interested to learn more.

-As mentioned before he's also pretty oblivious. It's pretty painful for the rest of the hexsquad, and really everyone, to watch.

-He is really interested in the human realm. He experienced the creepier part of the demon realm (or the closest thing to creepiness there.) So he would exchange creepy facts with you from your respective realms.

-He would probably watch/read all the stuff you like. He trusts your judgment on whether a piece of media is good or not.

I hope you like this! Also, I'm sorry this took so long! And I'm so sorry I didn't really focus on what they thought idk I tried.

very possible it’s just that I’m not actually following a lot of VC blogs (my main is unrelated and I try to avoid oversaturation, too easy to overdo fandom for me. It’s a fun distraction not my only interest or life haha) but I’ve seen so many disgusted/joking posts about Lestat and Gabrielle’s incestuous relationship and very little on Gabrielle and her relationship with gender which is so much more interesting by far.

Her uncomfortable closeness with Lestat is part of the horror as usual in incest narratives yes, this is a horror novel; but there’s a bit more going on there. She hates her life and sees Lestat as an extension of herself, of a male self she doesn’t get to be-- and when he turns her into a vampire she does become ‘a young man’ -- the text literally describes her (him?) that way. Once she does become what she wanted to be all along she no longer needs Lestat the same way. That’s what he perceives as yet another abandonment (though again I don’t think the way she buried that package with essential information actually points to her wanting to go on alone, more like the opposite! that’s just how Lestat interprets it). He’s no longer ‘part of her’-- no longer her imagined male identity, acting out in her place. Because now she can be that person herself.

It feels odd to use feminine pronouns for her tbh; the text repeatedly calls her ‘a young man’ and that certainly seems to be how she wants to be perceived. Then again people’s relationship to gender is often complicated, and who’s to say she’s not a young man who wants to use feminine pronouns? But Lestat’s discomfort with his mother’s new presentation and independence from him is present all through the text (in which he is the narrator). Her story reads as more than just a reaction to sexism to me, though obviously women did crossdress at the time for practical reasons that seem to align with part of Gabrielle’s reasoning (those dresses are not easy to move in).

Anyway what I’m saying is out of all VC characters I think Gabrielle’s story is the one that very easily reads as one about a trans character. Very very curious how the show is going to handle this story.
