Azul×Idia headcanons... hand em over, I wanna hear them all, every single one
(You're artsyle is so scrumptious it's not even funny❤❤❤❤❤❤)
Dear Anon! Sorry for the late reply. I am very happy you like my artstyle, and I am especially happy that you like Azul/Idia. They are our first twst ship, they are actually the first twst ship that we’ve written headcanons about, and our first post with them was almost a year ago?? That’s a long time, but I still feel like we just fell in love with these two lol
Just in case, here are some previous posts with hcs about them:
The very first one
Some more headcanons (+the ones about the Marriage AU)
The one with octo!Azul
The one about the overblot versions of these two
There are also some about Idia and the OctaTrio, but you can find all of them in the according tag (“headcanons”), so I won’t link them here.
As you can see, we have a lot to say about them lol, but it’s been a while since our last hc post about them, so I’ll give you some new ones! God I hope they’re new… I hate it when I accidentally repeat myself lol
They are an odd couple because both are allergic to sincerity and have a hard time opening up to each other. It’s almost like they’re afraid that if they say something honest and romantic, the other one is going to laugh at him. And to be honest, Azul is worse at it than Idia. Like, Idia’s initial reaction would be laugh it off and say that Azul is cringe (as a defense mechanism), but he would actually appreciate it a lot and maybe even open up in return. Azul, however, is absolutely terrified of being rejected for his feelings and sometimes has a hard time reacting to Idia’s own sincere moments. But he’s slowly getting better, I guess.
Despite that, Azul is actually quite romantic sometimes. If he falls asleep in Idia’s room, he clings to him, his long limbs, his warm hair. He is actually quite needy when he lets his guard down. But Idia learned not to comment on that, because Azul instantly gets embarrassed and super pissed off and sometimes even bites him :( Ouch
They actually argue quite often. And god forbid if they argue about something that can’t easily get googled and prove one of them wrong, because this petty argument is going to last for ages. Sometimes it ends up being an arousing thing for them, but Idia always comments on how much of a cliché it is to yell at each other and then make out passionately.
Their sex life used to be super awkward at the very beginning of their relationship, because they are basically a combo of a socially inept hikki guy whose kinks and preferences are super far detached from a real human life, and a merman who didn’t have legs or human reproductive organs only 3 years ago. So they weren’t even super into sex at first, it’s just too much mental and physical work, too awkward and embarrassing. That being said, they did have their early horny moments when they got really carried away and way too into touching each other.
After they’ve been together for some time though, sex is going to become less stressful, at least for Azul. He learns very fast, and he is obsessed with getting better, so Idia is going to be overwhelmed and fucked in all the right places at the same time lol But they still have these vibes of two awkward but horny nerds sometimes.
There are periods during which they don’t have sex at all, and barely even have any romantic interactions. During these one might even think that they’re just friends, since they seem to be very neutral in the ways they interact and talk about games and stuff. Idia doesn’t mind it, but it’s a bit wild even to him sometimes how not interested in sex Azul actually is…because when Azul is aroused, it seems like sex is the most important thing in his life lol I guess this is an animal within him.
They aren’t really into bdsm, but they’re one of those couples who fall into the d/s dynamics naturally sometimes for some reason. Mostly because Idia is very bratty with Azul and likes to tease him, and sometimes Azul gets pissed off and reacts in a very dominating and overwhelming way, and then all of a sudden things happen… Let’s just say that Idia got spanked more than one time.

What is idwtkoh?? Tell me your propaganda
Oh my fucking god anon hello and THANK YOU for giving me the opportunity to talk about THE most amazing webtoon I have ever laid my eyes upon. Get ready cuz I'm gonna be insufferable-
OKAY. So, 'I don't want this kind of hero' is a Korean webtoon (manhwa) made by Samchon. It became popular in 2010 and the english translation ended in 2020. It has 290 chapters when I say every single chapter is top tier, I MEAN IT.
First of all, the artsyle is SO GOOD. It's so fucking charming and so BADASS when it wants to be, a perfect balance. Idfk why some people get turned off by the artstyle?? Like???
This is the first ever panel and it already looks SO GOOD WDYM. And the character designs??? THE CHARACTER DESIGNS OH MY GOD. You can take one look at any character in this series and you'll have the basics of their personality just like THAT. It's so obvious but subtle at the same time??? I can't explain. Just- the character designs are AMAZING. I want to post every single character in the series just to prove my point but that'll be overkill, take this group photo instead-
SPEAKING ABOUT THE CHARACTERS.
The characters in this are all SO GOOD. And I'm not even being biased about it I swear- I mean, I don't like main characters often, in fact, I can count in two hands the number of main characters I actually like from ALL the stuff I've watched over the years, and Naga is in that list. Naga is the main character of the series and that boy owns my HEART. He's the most powerful person in the world, he goes through a lot of shit, he canonically has depression, he had so many opportunities to take a life and get away with it because it would have been JUSTIFIED, but he still finds it in him to be the kindest person out there. He can be selfish, he can be childish, and he is unapologetically FLAWED in more ways than one, he messes up and sees the world for what it is, but he learns and he grows but he will never be perfect and that's what makes me love him.
And it's not just Naga who's amazingly written. ALL the characters are unique and complex in their own ways. I can go through every single one of them, from the heroes to the villains to the people caught in the crossfire- I can make ESSAYS for everyone. Why they act the way they do, why they did the things they did, how the circumstances that they went through made them who they are. The dynamics between the characters themselves are so amazingly done as well, it's so origanic, in a way.
Oh my god if you love women, you'll LOVE this series because lemme tell you, the women in this are amazing. 100/10 would recommend. They're not sexualized in any way, they get as much character development AND exploration just as much as the men do and no one is there to purpose as the mc's love interest. The ladies as fuckin BADASS and cool and beautiful and the villains!!! HOLY SHIT THE VILLAINS LADIES. They are so evil and flawed and I adore them so much- the hero ladies too AUGH- (makes sense cuz the author is a woman)
But yeah, I talk about heroes and villains a lot bc this is a story about heroes and villains and a world with powers and animal hybrids and mythical creatures-
AND THE STORY. THE FUCKING STORY. IT'S SO GOOD.
I won't go into details because that'd be spoilers in case you wanna read it (PLEASE READ IT ITS SO GOOD) but I can tell you this much- it's a perfect balance between humor and action and tragedy. It starts of light and funny, but the story gets a darker edge as time goes on, I know that's a deal breaker for a lot of people, but it's actually done in a way that makes so much sense that you realize in your second read that it's ALWAYS been a much darker story. The cruelty of the world has always been there, the racism, the unforgiving circumstances, the perversion of the world, the pain and the grief and the misery- it's always been there.
Only, we were seeing the world through Naga's young and naive perspective. He was new to the world of heroism, he's just a kid that didn't know any better. He was never arrogant about his powers, he never bragged about it, didn't even want the attention it brought him, but he unknowingly got too confident in his abilities to keep him sheltered. As time went on and as more fucked up shit he goes through, he sees more, understands more, and suddenly everything's too dark because that's ALL he sees now.
The story shows us how the world is not black and white but instead a multitude of the shades of gray. And it doesn't shy away from exploring those shades. It DIGS into those shades of gray, makes you question the justice of a character's actions, makes you wonder if things would have gone differently if this or that happened instead. Even goes deep into the psychology of the characters, both heroes and villains alike.
And the main villain? OH THE MAIN VILLAIN. Baekmorae is SUCH a top tier villain. I HATE HIM. I hate how much I love him. He's so- he's insane. He's crazy. He's unhinged. I want to put him in a blender, turn his bones into powder and feed him to the fishes. He's so well written it HURTS.
Oh and this series gets dark. Like DARK dark. It's like if you mix One Piece, BNHA, Mob Psycho, and Saiki K together, you get this. And if you know me, you know I ADORE all four of those, so this series owns my entire being-
Augh, as much as I want to keep going, this is getting longer than I expected it to be. Well, that's a lie, I wanted it to be longer but I also want you to read the entirety of my propaganda and having this stretch out longer might turn you off so I'll stop here kfvekdvs if you want to know more PLEASE don't hesitate to slide into my inbox I'll be so freaking happy to talk about this more <3
TLDR: idwtkoh is freaking amazing from start to finish you should go read it it's amazing, BYE!

I'm once again back on my bleach bullshit and watching the newer seasons of TYBWA. It just made all the inconsistencies more prominent in my head. Like giving the quincies those OP abilities? I call BS and think it's lame, how they suddenly came back from extinction. I wish Kubo had done it differently with the quincies so it didn't feel like this arc came out of the blue. The timeline doesn't feel consistent to me either (at least what i remember of it); the aging in SS makes no sense at all. I firmly stand by the fullbringer arc being the worst arc IMO and hate it with a passion, i hate it and think its stupid. Theres just so much stuff that could have been done better and i don't think Kubo fully thought out the story when he was first developing it. (i also lowkey miss the old art style; everyone was just so unique) sorry for this random rant. You're one of the few i could talk to about it.
I am staying away from the new anime with a passion lol. Not surprised to see nothing is even coming out of it, aka everything is still a no sense as it was. Tbh I don't even think I would care if they were actually "fixing" things.
I absolutely agree on the fact that there was so much that could've been done better, but eh, chances upon chances were missed and missed and missed. There is something that never changed and that is common in the old and new fans, waiting for THAT cool, interesting, thing (whatever it is) to happen, to be developed, to be revealed, to be animated and so on. After years tho, I think the old ones should know, that cool thing in never gonna happen, new ones will someday learn, maybe.
I miss the old artsyle too, but maybe I am biased, but honestly tho, it was way cooler, come on. If it was a mix with old and new it would've been way better imo. I am not complaining tho, I like that is uglier so I don't regret I am not watching any of it LMAO

Are you self taught ? By any chance, who inspired you to have that SCRUMPTIOUS ARTSYLE OF YOURS
İ remember times when Hazbin hotel pilot Aired , i was already drawing by looking at shows like gravity falls and stuff but it wasn't serious then i decided to copy art while looking at hazbin, be like: "hey i want to draw edgy stuff like that". İ decided to learn everything by myself and yea that's also how i learned my broken English. , after some time of fooling around trying new art tips I've come to realize that maybe boring art fundamentals were the right path and important after all... İ started drawing forms study perspective up to values, design theory and proportions. A bit of anatomy as well
İ recommend : Proko, Kuzomari and Ethan Becker on YouTube. Peace✌🏻

yo loaf it's oversharing anon
just checkin in makin sure everythin's alright, heard you decided to keep celeste after all das cool. i hope the lil one isnt too much to handle.
saw you was doing artfight again this year and i remember my very first exposure to your art was your artfight stuff and i thought "well dang, this artsyle be hitting like capri suns at dawn in the skatepark. kickflips and everything its funky and cool"
it's been wild to see your art develop and i hope to see it keep going. even if i'm not really getting stuff like twisted wonderland i still really love how you draww and colour stuff and would definitely wanna learn to art like you,
anyways, hope artfight goes well and remember not to burnout!
oversharing anon out
hey oversharing anon, its been a while!! 👋👋👋
haha yeahh, Celeste cant help it since she’s only a kitten, so ive decided to just ride it out with this furball- im staying up all night and started watching a bunch of jackson galaxy videos and ive been taking screenshots & notes like CRAZYYY— i’ll have to make a ko-fi goal soon to be able to afford more stuff to catify our house, buy more remote/interactive toys, cat furniture/tree, etc….. also watched a video on clicker training & wanna get into that eventually!
being a cat owner, let alone being a rescue kitten owner, is all still a very new experience for me that i never wouldve expected to happen earlier this year- i remind myself that im still learning; i dont regret it one bit, even if the occassional “kitten blues” says otherwise haha 😂
awww thats so awesome!! ive actually had a few ppl that said that artfight was the first time they saw my art, or heard about me- and i think thats hella cool ;;
aggh seriously this all means a lot to hear! i hope to go at my full potential with my art one day- hopefully sooner rather than later !!!

hello! i am really in love with your art style!! may i ask how you developed it? :0 seeing your work really inspires me to get back into drawing
Aww Thank you! <3 <3
I've been drawing for a long time and, like every other artist, it took me a lot of time to develop my current artsyle. I'll try to give you some tips that worked for me:
Think about the artsyles that you like. In my case I really like certain anime style (the Toilet bound Hanako kun style) and semirealism (like arcane) so I try to mix them and take what I like more of each. This also helps when I try to find artists or references for these styles.
This tip is kinda obvious but practice everyday. I try to draw everyday, even if it's just a quick doodle, and that helps me slowly get better.
If you like an artist try to understand what exactly is that you like and try to use that in your drawings. I take a lot of inspiration from manga, for example I learned a lot about expresions while reading Magi, and lineart from Toilet bound Hanako kun and Atelier of witch hat.
Lastly, make art for yourself. If you draw what you want you'll enjoy it and progresively get better, not everything has to be perfect. Don't be afraid to try new techniques and have patience (I haven't fully developed my artstyle either)
Hope these helped :)

Watching Stuff Day 1 - 7/7/2023 - Current Streak: 1
I've been meaning to make myself watch more movies/shows lately since I've found that I haven't really seen all that many compared to my peers and want to broaden my horizons with media. I'm bad at keeping up streaks for goals I set for myself though (this isn't the first time I've tried to do this), and figure if I make this somewhat public then I'm more likely to hold myself accountable. So I'm aiming to both watch a movie/show-pilot I haven't seen yet and write about it here. I've done 2 years at tech school for animation and am majoring in animation when I start college, so I'm probably going to look slightly more into animated productions so I get more familiarity with media that I might end up being asked to use as reference for work in the future. So if you have any recommendations for shows/movies (especially animated ones), please feel free to send them to me! Don't think anything is too mainstream to recommend. I was very sheltered with what media I could watch as a kid which caused me to still not be too adventurous with what genres and media I watch/read now, so even if something is super popular, there's a decent chance I haven't seen it.
Now onto the actual show this first post is about. I decided to see the two-episode premiere of the new animated Superman show, My Adventures with Superman. I haven't seen many super hero shows/movies and only one of them I saw had Superman, so I went in not knowing much other than what I knew from cultural osmosis and a few video essays I had as background noise for work.
I ended up enjoying it quite a bit! I really liked the anime inspired artsyle used for it and the character designs. The animation itself did seem a bit choppy at times but that could've just been some sort of connectivity issue on my end. It does mix in some 3D elements at times for stuff like giant robots and cars. I generally don't mind that much when shows do that, those kind of things can be particularly tedious and time consuming to do in 2D. I just wish they had used a shader that matched the shading style of the 2D elements more, it felt a bit off to me.
As for the show's writing, I really like the work done for the characters and character dynamics. I think they did a good job setting up Clark as someone who can't help but help and support the people around him even before he becomes Superman and setting up his struggles with not knowing where he came from and what his background was before the life he's lived on Earth.
I also liked his dynamic with Lois. They had some cute scenes together and I thought it was interesting how they contrasted their characters by showing that Clark is trying his best to appear normal in his everyday life while Lois wants to be someone extraordinary. It seems like they could do really interesting stuff with that as things go on and the characters start to potentially come into more conflict regarding their investigation into Superman. I also liked the mini character arc Lois had at the beginning with learning to not just rope people into her schemes and to put trust into her new colleagues rather than trying to manipulate them. I think it was a neat way to establish her character while also providing tension for the fate of the group before the characters decide to make-up and stick together in the end.
I don't know how accurate Jimmy is to the source material, but I really liked his character here too! I think him being a conspiracy/outlandish theorist guy gives him an interesting angle as part of their investigative trio and as a comedic character. I do wish he got more of an arc here like Clark and Lois did, but I understand why the pilot episodes would want to focus more on those two characters though.
I also liked the villain they had for these first two episodes. I think they did a good job establishing her character and character flaws. She was shown to be smart and competent by setting up back-up plans like the bombs in the sewers and she was shown to be a capable physical threat because of the tech and combat skills she possesed. However, they also wrote her as arrogant at some points (lines like "yes, I am the smartest person here!" as a retort to what another character said) which makes her defeat more satisfying because her defeat was only possible because of her over-confidence. Her tech/electric attacks seemed to be doing a good job of harming Superman, and if she had kept some distance from him, she might've been able to beat him or at least stun him for a bit so she could try to get away. She could've also potentially bluffed by saying she could also detonate the bombs she placed with the tech she had on her to create a sort of hostage situation in order to make Superman let her get away. But since she was arrogant about her own abilities, she fought him head on and allowed him to get close enough to remove the power core of her suit. I think it would be interesting to see her as a recurring character since they've set-up these character flaws and she could eventually learn to better analyze the options and power she has in situations in order to become a more competent antagonist or potentially a strong circumstantial ally to the heroes against the shady organization that abducted her at the end. I also like how they made tech/weapon dealing and dispersal a part of her character because It also acts as a way to naturally explain how even small-time villains Superman will have to deal with in the future can have high tech weaponry and be a threat.
Some other small stuff I liked but didn't find a way to fit naturally into all that:
I like how Clark's mom made adjustments to his suit. Seems kind of symbolic of how Clark's Kryptonian parents made him and sent him to Earth (made the suit and gave it to Clark) but it was his Earth parents that raised him to be the person he is (added onto to the suit and made it the suit it is now)
I liked the kid's newspaper/intel group. I thought it was cute and funny and hope it continues to show up.
Overall, I really enjoyed it despite not having much knowledge of the source material. Really liked the artstyle and character writing. I'll probably keep watching it as it comes out.
For my next thing I'll watch, I think I'll watch the Nimona movie that recently came out. I've heard good things about it, and read the graphic novel back in middle school, so I'm definitely interested in seeing it. After that I'll probably do something older so I'm not just watching recent and newly on-going things. If you happen to stumble upon this and have any other recommendations for movies/shows, feel free to message me about them.

Medora Sia! A persona 5 OC
(Old and new artsyle check!?!?)
Medora and her family grew up in Ireland. She had her mother, father, and older sister of 4 years named Raven. Her parents were in the entertainment industry, things such as news broadcasts, TV shows, a radio
Her parents were strict, following traditionalist standpoints that they shoved onto the two girls. Both disliked this way of thinking, but were different about their approaches to it.
Medora was actively vocal and rebellious, making sure her hatred was KNOWN to her parents. but Raven was on the down low, staying secret and pretty quiet about it.
As Med began more vocal, her sister began to fear for her as their parents were normally verbally abusive and dismissive towards them. So she began to take the blame for anything she could to cut slack off of Med. Taking the rage of her parents for her as a calling to protect her younger sibling.
Eventually Medora began to abuse the kindness of her sister, getting into more and more trouble. Not helping her sister in return often.
during a family trip to Hawaii, Raven had enough of the family and ran away. It was after another fight with her parents after Medora got into a fight with one of the locals… Her parents immediately blamed the eldest, and even hit Raven for this. When Medora could speak up and take the consequences for once, she didn’t.
Medora felt guilt as her sister left, being told by everyone around her that she was the cause of this. No longer being her parents golden child afterwards…
As the cops looked for her sister, she tried to tell them about her parents, how they did this instead. But her parents were one step ahead, and bribed them to not continue further investigation into them.
After Ravens so called stunt, the companies reputation was down falling… rumors (that were correct) began to bubble. So her parents and her got moved to Japan instead.
To kick back up their entertainment empire, her parents came in contact with Shido when she was about 17. Saying that they’ll sponsor him for perks, and a rising to popularity. He agreed.
Getting greedy, her parents began to use more and more out of him. Eventually he had enough of not getting his end of the deal… confronting them, and threatening to ruin everything they had built up. Not only by ruining their company, but to in act a mental shutdown onto them if they didn’t scramble to find a solution.
The Sia parents turned to Medora… passing her over to Shido VIA a totally legal contract (it was far from that) after guilt tripping and forcing her into such a deal. she became a news reporter, forced to lie, cut out, and twist parts of the stories all for Shido’s sake. Getting to know the truth behind everything but able to share because of her having to make Shido the good guy.
Her guilt complex worsened, finding herself to become the very thing she swore to destroy after her sister left… the reason why the country was unaware of the country.
For survival, she played weak and obedient like a doormat for Shido and for the cameras. Like she could do no harm whatsoever… and they all took the bait. This allowed her to learn more and more of the truth of what she was covering, get into good graces, and be trustworthy.
Eventually she found out about Akechi… and saw her as her exit ticket out of this prison. Coursing Shido into letting her ‘keep an eye on him’
At a seemingly normal set and interview, she dragged Akechi aside. In a prop closet secluded to be exact… lying down all her cards for him.
All she asked was for a partnership between them, the end goal? To take down Shido. She’d give the information, and he’d do whatever it takes to ruin him. Turns out Shido gave Akechi the same task, but to keep an eye on her instead. Finding this out, she knew a partnership could keep them not only safe and secure… but completely in the clear. Allowing them to lie for eachother to work in the shadows without suspicion. afterall, if Med spoke out she’d have a hit placed on her, and if Goro spoke out? She’d have to ruin his rep to make him as untrustworthy as possible. Goro agreed semi-reluctantly.
Medora would meet the player at the TV station but during the first day of the trip. Getting to know him more and more throughout as she speaks about the struggle of her guilt complex and sister…
Medora knows about your identity after Goro joins the Thieves, but keeps that information to herself. Her allegiance would be ambiguous at the time… she wouldn’t tell info about you to him, and wouldn’t tell you information about him.
After his betrayal of the PT’s she has to make her move and chose a side.. Goro never told her about the betrayal, in fact he’d said he’d keep you all because they were useful. Finding this as a betrayal of her wishes, after the day Ren comes back from the interrogation room. She’d show up at LeBlanc.
Medora would beg to be brought into Shido’s palace to everyone present. Saying she knows a lot, and wants to take down Shido for herself aswell… but she doesn’t speak much on the matter about Akechi, in fact she avoids it.
The Thieves… after a long conversation decide to bring her in. Her awakening and persona I haven’t exactly wrote so 🤷♀️ (But for ref, yknow that one NPC in Shido’s palace that talks about him making the news all about Akechi and Shido? That was the base for Medora, that’d be her father.)
During the engine room scene with Akechi, she exposes her true feelings. Saying that’d she been beating herself up on her probable attachment for the killer, and could’ve done more to save him from his path. Giving a dump of regrets to the PTs afterwards. Feeling bad for her attempt to use him, as she promised after her sister disappeared that she wouldn’t do such again.
During the literal fighting with God and God part 2 (Maruki) I don’t have much of importance written down yet. But I’m making a doc about her!
Sidenote: she’s also a boxer! After the stories events she’ll probably go into the police force as a detective, or something similar.
making oc's gotta be my favorite thing ever
i've got hundreds actually-
mostly for my own stories BUT !!!!
making them and designing them to be in an already set universe? figuring out how to make them interact with canon characters? FUNNIEST SHIT EVER IS SO ENTERTAINING
PLEASE, ANYONE WHO READS THIS.
REBLOG WITH YOUR OC'S !!! I WANNA SEE THEM !!! TELL ME WHATEVER YOU WANT ABOUT THEM AND I'LL READ IT ALL !!!

Little tease | Riven smut
Summary: You tease Riven during training, he shows you what happens to little teases.
A/N: I do not own the gif but I thought it would fit! This is just smut, but we need more Riven smut out there. It’s a little filthier than I have written so far so I hope it isn’t too bad.
WARNING: SMUT read at your own discretion, Daddy kink (because come on, Riven totally has one) teasing, dirty talk (a little degrading), little rough but nothing too crazy.
Taglist: @novawrts @americaswritings @voidmalfoy @reader101k @teaandcoke @glowingatdawn @fandomwalflower @blahhhhhhhaaa @artsyle @criesinlies @orphan-with-a-stutter
If you want to be added/removed from my taglist please let me know!
You had never had an attraction to someone like this, you couldn’t explain what it was. Riven just made you feel some type of way. He could give you one look and set your body on fire, it didn’t help that he was the worlds biggest flirt and liked to show off. Luckily for you, the feeling was mutual and Riven focused his attention on you.
Riven and you had been together for a while now, you knew all his quirks and habits, and you also knew what really got him going. You were in a mood, there was a training scheduled and you did not want to go. You wanted to spend your day in bed with Riven. So to say you were a little annoyed was an understatement. The only good thing about this training was that the second year specialists were assisting, so you did get to see your boyfriend, just not in the situation you had hoped for.
The training was in full swing and you were getting frustrated, sexually. Riven was looking way too hot for a normal training day. All sweaty, flexing his muscles and being in charge? Yeah that definitely got you going. You huffed in annoyance, you knew that training would at least be another hour.
Silva asked Riven to demonstrate a new move and asked for a volunteer, you had never been this eager to help out, you wanted to get pinned against the floor by Riven and you were getting more desperate with the minute. Luckily Silva chose you, Riven raised his eyebrow, you never volunteered to help demonstrate. You were one of the types that liked to learn quietly to themselves. You got in position and launched at Riven, he blocked your attack and pinned you to the floor in one swift move. Silva explained the mechanics of the move as Riven was still pinning you down, you decided to tease him a little and whispered ‘’Sorry babe, needed an excuse to be underneath you again’’ He gulped and you grinned, liking the effect you had on him. The two of you rose and you knew exactly how to make this training more fun.
It was your personal mission to get a rise out of Riven. You took every oppurtunity to practice with him. Pressing your body against him, whispering things to him whenever you had the chance and making other innuendos. You could see that it was getting to him, he got a little snappy towards the other first years and looked increasingly more frustrated.
Riven had no idea what had gotten into you, but it had him going crazy. The way you moved made it more difficult to focus, especially when you kept touching him and giving him sly looks. It was killing him, Silva had asked him to help because of his improvement and he didn’t want to mess up. But god did you make it hard, pun intended. You were drinking from your water bottle when Riven stalked over to you ‘’What the fuck do you think you’re doing?’’ he hissed at you. You smiled innocently ‘’I have no idea what you’re talking about’’ Riven looked at you, clearly irritated ‘’Knock. it. off’’ He walked away, huffing loudly. You had definitely gotten to him.
You were sparring with Dane when you called Riven over, you were going in for the final move. ‘’Riv, can I try this move on you? Dane was asking about it’’ You smiled sweetly, he already knew it was a trap but he couldn’t say no to you with all the others around you, so he nodded. He launched at you and this time you had him quickly to the ground. You were sitting on top of him and stretched out your whole body over his to ‘lock him down’ you leaned down and whispered innocently ‘’Am I doing it right daddy?’’ He could feel himself twitch in his pants, you had really done it now. You slowly got off of him, brushing past his growing problem. Riven was pissed to say the least, you were actually kind of nervous when you saw the bitter expression on his face. But training was finally over and before you could do anything, Riven had grabbed your arm and dragged you off of the training fields.
‘‘You fucking tease’‘ You were barely in his room when he had pinned you against the wall. ‘‘Trying to distract and tempt me the entire training session’‘ He smirked, his pupils full blown and dark ‘’Want me to show you what I do to a needy little tease?’’ He forced your legs open with his thigh and roughly pushed it against your heat. You let out a small noise at the contact, making him grin bigger. ‘’Not so bold now huh?’’ He pushed his thigh closer against you, making you moan. He chuckled ‘’You’re so fucking desperate’’ You tried to move against his thigh, needing any sort of friction but he held you still, breath ghosting over your neck but not doing anything. You let out a whine, you were indeed desperate and needed him to do anything ‘’Come on baby, use your words’’ You had difficulty making up a coherent sentence, especially when his lips started to lightly touch your neck before pulling away from you completely. The loss of contact made you whimper ‘’I-I need you to fucking touch me, please’’ Riven cupped your cheek ‘’Please what?’’ ‘’Please daddy’’
That was it, he was on you in a second. Attacking your mouth with his own. His hands were groping your ass, your legs around his waist and your hands in his hair as you moaned into the kiss. He carried you over to the bed and roughly dropped you. He wasted no time, taking of his shirt and your sports bra before getting on top of you again. Kissing you once again, shoving his tongue into your mouth. You could feel his growing errection being pushed into you, you were soaked at this point. He bit on your lip before assaulting your neck, he was marking you. Normally you’d mind because people were going to see but you were so lost in all of it that you didn’t care at that moment. Your hands were in his hair as you moaned, you wrapped your legs around him again to push him closer into you, earning a groan from him. You loved it when he made his little noises, and you’d do anything to hear them over and over.
He was leaving marks all over your body taking his sweet time, way too long in your opinion. You loved his mouth on you but you needed something else more. You started grinding against him making him chuckle ‘’God you really are desperate today huh?’’ He leaned in closer to you ‘’Does baby need to be filled?’’ You nodded. He grinned while he looked at you, you already fucked out and he had barely touched you. ‘’Do you deserve it?’’ Your eyes widened ‘’Cause only good girls get filled up’’ His thumb traced over your lip ‘’Please’’ you croaked ‘’I need you so bad’’ He pulled you into a surprisingly sweet kiss ‘’Alright baby, you get off this time, but don’t pull that stunt on me again’’ you nodded, you’d do anything at this point.
Suddenly he tore down your leggings. He whistled when he saw your panties, they were red and lacy just as he liked. ‘’You planned this all along huh? my naughty little girl’’ He nudged your legs open and touched you over your underwear, they were completely soaked and you knew it. The little friction was appreciated but it was not nearly enough ‘’Riven... please’’ He pressed a little harder ‘’Tell me what you want’’ He pushed your underwear to the side and raked his finger over your slit making you gasp ‘’I want you to fuck me daddy’’ He grinned ‘’Anything for you baby’’ He plunged two fingers into your heat and kept a rapid pace making you throw your head back and moan loudly. You didn’t even care who heard anymore. He pulled away from you after a few minutes and licked his fingers clean ‘’You taste so fucking good’’ You whined at the loss of contact but saw that he was removing his pants and boxers and licked your lips when you saw his already leaking dick. He pumped it a few times before getting back to you.
He pushed your legs apart even more and took your legs and rested them over his shoulders giving him an interesting angle. He pushed at you all at once drawing out a long moan from the both of you. He didn’t give you any time to adjust before slowly pulling out and pushing back in again. He groaned ‘’You’re so tight, I love being inside of you’’ his hips snapped deliciously into you and you let out a few breathy moans when he started picking up his pace. It didn’t take long before you felt the familiair coil burning inside your stomach. Riven noticed too ‘’Come for me babygirl’’ He thrusted a few more times and you came undone, seeing stars. Your orgasm washed over you and that was all it took for Riven to snap as well, coming inside of you.
The two of you were breathing heavily next to each other. ‘’That was mindblowing’’ you rested your head on his chest and he wrapped an arm around you, pulling you closer ‘’Damn right it was, but please don’t ever tease me again during training’’ you giggled ‘’Well I might have to if you fuck me this good afterwards’’ Riven laughed he pulled you in for a slow kiss making you melt ‘’I can fuck you good anytime babe’’

AAA I LOVE YOUR ARTSYLE, AND HOW U DRAW BACKGROUND 8S JUST INCREFIBLE
Thank you so much! I really appreciate it.
I barely ever draw backgrounds because I just hate doing them, but recently I've been doing them to try and get out of my comfort zone and get better at them. Right now I can't design my own background, I need to completely reference off one. I actually had to design a new background myself for The Grim Truth and its the only one that looks like ASS. When The Grim Truth is complete I plan to release the raw backgrounds that I made for the comic.
I did learn a lot about how to draw backgrounds in college honsetly, but it was definitely the most tedious and annoying subject we did in drawing class (so far).
Anyway, thank you again for the kind ask!

Hey, did you saw the film theory on Invader Zim on Membrane that Low-key makes sense
NO. IT. DOESN’T!
Okay, maybe this is my personal bias shining through, because I really don’t like Mattpatt sometimes... No. Okay, I have nothing against the guy personally. More frankly, I don’t like his fanbase or the way he structures his videos.
The way Mattpatt words and structures his videos acts like he’s the first person who thought of this idea, it’s the main contributor to why I stopped watching his videos a long time ago.
He speaks in a lot of rhetorics and strawman arguments rather than just saying what he wants to say. Like “If you don’t believe me... look no further then...” and that’s the one thing I ABSOLUTELY HATE on theory videos.
And some of Mattpatts own theories he doesn’t take seriously, but this is what you get when you base your INCOME off of youtube ad revenue and browse the reddit forums for new ideas. A completely monopolized way of theorizing. (and this is why there are several paragraphs in my current chapter of Tech Support of Zim’s Computer complaining about the concept of youtube entertainment in general.)
Sure, I don’t think Mattpatt will run out of theories... but I really hate the structure of his videos follows along strawman arguments, acting like he’s always arguing with an imaginary audience for entertainment value rather than just say what he wants to say.
That, and people will often cling to theories of someone with good editing software and a youtube channel then Their own opinions.
Something that I learned was incredibly dangerous to do. I learned my lesson with “That Guy with the Glasses dot com” and I don’t plan to act like I know something or am better than someone else cause I agree with someone who said something on youtube once.
I do watch Internet reviews and theory videos for entertainment, but that’s all they are to me. I don’t like to watch youtube videos to give me opinions on how I feel about things. And I seriously think a wide margin of his subscribers lack critical thinking skills at times, as well as a majority of the youtube audience, or from what I’ve seen in the comment section.
However, remember... These are just my thoughts on the matter... My thoughts are not law and I never claim them to be.
Like when I first joined the fandom and posed my GIR analysis questions... I even said:
“I don’t know if the fandom has talked about this in depth or not... I just got here... or if someone put it into this many words before but...”
Also... the thing that bothers me about his Invader Zim theory...
A lot of Mattpatt’s sources are just..... Wrong...
(for the next few minutes I will be talking about this video, feel free to watch or don’t)
Okay.. “Membrane is an Irken” this has been a popular fan theory since before I even entered the fandom and there are old fics about this. I have read Irken Membrane stories before.
It’s not personally my cup of tea, but it’s fun to think about.
But the straws Mattpatt grasps in his video.... Really upset me because there is some thought to the theory back in the day.. ... Like back in 2002??? but like.... NOW?!
Okay, I’ll pick apart this a little... bit by bit...
He says that Membrane takes a hard stance against anything paranormal.
Kinda... but no.. Membrane never outright denies the existence of aliens. (except in ETF... which he mainly says out of frustration...) This is what Membrane says about “there are no aliens” in the show:
Membrane just says that there are no “intelligent” aliens...None that are able to travel the massive distance to Earth, anyways... If aliens existed at all, (like the cryptoids Dib talks of) they would have traveled the distance to the planet and communicated with them by now.
However, this is a nitpick of a minor issue. One that a majority of the fandom tends to overlook when viewing Professor Membrane and Dib’s relationship in general.
And I do find it weird that he used this for evidence when he cut out the most important snippet from the full lecture he gives Dib here.... JUST to support his claim... as if he’s intentionally leaving that part out.... hmmmm
However, I can let this slide, because it’s a nitpick and really doesn’t change anything that Membrane is very dissuasive of Dib’s alien-hunting hobbies. (I have a theory as to why and I explain it here in my own way)
The point is, Membrane is dismissive of anything alien... maybe because he’s an Irken...okay, good, yes. fair.
A lot of Mattpatts claims from then on are pretty solid, and I won’t bunk them with “But in my headcanon/Fanfic verse...” Because what he is saying is all true.
Membrane denying the existence of aliens even after being taken to space jail doesn’t have much of an explanation and is played for comedy and there are many ways you can go with this, and I am not going to bring up my fanfics or my own headcanons to argue with him here.
Because there is no explanation, and he is going with the “Membrane is Irken” theory... So that’s very solid when he’s talking about Membrane denying the Hallucinations.
Mattpatt claimed that Membrane wore his face covering at all times and had been dressed this way since he was a child.
I will not deny this. This is true.
However, isn’t bringing up Membrane’s childhood kinda put a hole in your own argument?
MEMBRANE WAS A CHILD.
He had been shown to have childhood memories in the comics and the show.
Irkens don’t really have a “Childhood” per say, at least not in the way that humans do. They are a smeet, then elite, then Invader..
If he’s claiming that Membrane came to earth as an Irken SMEET....How, why, and when?
That kinda raises more questions than it answers.... What are you proving by bringing up Membrane’s baby pictures on Earth exactly? It kind of works against your own argument?
Saying that they’re Irken because they all have the same hair.... that’s just stupid... and he’s citing the Invader Zim wiki on this .... oh boy.
Yeah, Like before I watched the show I thought Dib and Disguised Zim were the same character or brothers...
But I don’t think character design here is a solid enough reason in this case... At least not when it comes to the hairstyles... That’s a stretch.
“Hmmm Membrane’s hair forms an M shape... What could the M stand for? Mirken?! SUSPICIOUS!” (this is just a joke)
Also... the lack of ears thing... He did say it would be hard for Membrane to hear if his headpiece was covering his ears, but not necessarily... The entire thing is a headset and he is the man of science, he can really do whatever the fuck he wants cause Science is like magic in a show like this. So if Membrane wears a headset that doesn’t obstruct his hearing at all, I can buy it... Also.. it’s equally possible his ears got blown off in a chem lab accident or he’s legally deaf and that headset acts as a hearing aide and HELPS him hear...
Actually, I always noticed how in Membrane’s original design from the show, the headset looked a lot like a hearing aid. Specifically one with a head clip, It’s one of the things I first noticed about his design in the show.
And it’s just something I always assumed because he’s a scientist who deals with explosions in his face on a daily basis... (in fact he experiences one in episode 2B) So on first viewing, I thought that his headset served as a hearing aid as well as prescription glasses and a communication device.
I’m just throwing out possibilities because the “lack of ears” is also kinda a stretch.
Mattpatt complaining about “lack of nose” however... Okay, yeah I’ll give him that one. It’s a character design choice that is a little odd for Professor Membrane, but it does fit with the Irken theory, since a majority of human characters, in fact, all have noses. So, Yes the “lack of nose” does fit more into the Irken theory.
However.... Florpus anime Membrane DOES have a nose...
Meant to be drawn in a more semi-realistic artsyle, you can clearly see the bridge of his nose here.
And he looks very similar to anime Dib... Sooooo... Shrug-city...
It’s likely that Membrane not having a nose in the show is simply a stylistic choice than anything else. Basically, the bridge of the nose is there... we just don’t see it.
Especially since Nightmare Membrane has a nose as well..
Membrane is like Home Improvement’s Wilson. We will never see his face, and that’s part of the gag. The man probably sleeps in his labcoat honestly...
I also find the voice pattern thing a bit of a stretch. Membrane and Zim are just eccentric characters who yell to emote or emphasize a point or emote stronger. And Membrane’s inflections are never the same as Zim’s.
Remember, no other Irken TALKS like Zim. Professor Membrane doesn’t really go around screaming: “I AM PROFESSOR MEMBRANE” either.....
If anything... it just kinda proves both characters have auditory processing issues or hearing problems more then anything.
And there is a lot of screaming on this show.... Screaming from Dib, screaming from Membrane, Screaming from GIR, screaming from Zim... Screaming is funny... and characters scream so much that the characters with their mouths wide open is somewhat a staple of the show.
This is more because of Johnen Vasquez’s voice direction...
Especially since no other Irken really talks like Zim..
Zim’s manor of Speach is strictly a Zim thing and not an Irken thing.
Professor Membrane’s manner of speech is simply a Membrane thing and not a human thing.
I will give Mattpatt that. That a lot of tech in the show looks similar to Membrane’s. I feel this is mostly a stylistic choice, but it really does fit in with the Irken theory.
Like that Zim just so happens to use the same operating system as Dib is played off as a joke. But it does add some small credence to the theory here... I need to point out when he does get it right... some pats on the back.
These are very good points and does follow through with what he’s trying to prove by the end of the day.
(even if Membrane was lying about the destruction of all mankind with the beans thing, but that’s a minor nitpick here)
But his entire paragraph comparing Membrane’s tech to Irken tech is a really good one. Props there.
This whole paragraph about there being only Tall or short irkens cause their society is height based and there are no “medium-sized” irkens....cause they were “dealt with”
Okay.
....
Sure Mattpatt. Let’s just entirely ignore the existence of the Frylord and this entire character even though you mentioned it in the synopsis at the start of your video... Showing that Taller irkens are in positions of power against the shorter, also... Zim is a tiny irken... there are many Irkens that stand taller then Zim.
Being tall in Irken society is a rarity, and Almighty Tallest Purple said that he and Red “became” the Tallest. How? We don’t know, but we do know at one point the current Tallest looked like this:
How do Irkens get that Tall? Body modifications? Maybe... it’s never explained, but considering the Frylord is super big and probably eats a lot of snacks might have something to do with it. We don’t know.
It’s safe to say that being Tall in their society is a rarity and Tallests are either born or made special from the cloning chamber from the get go.
Not to mention, Membrane is Taller than the current Tallest are already...
and you said earlier in the video that Membrane would have gone to Earth as a child...
When he was no taller than a wrapped Christmas box of socks...
So why would Membrane take refuge on Earth at this point? Mattpatt says that Membrane was sent on a mission to Earth because the Tallest felt threatened by his rule...
BY MEMBRANE’S RULE?!?
HE’S THE SIZE OF A CHRISTMAS BOX OF SOCKS!
What do they have to be threatened by?
Because... Mattpatt DID bring up Membrane as a child earlier in the video... meaning Membrane came to earth when he was about the same size as Zim.
SO THEY HAD NOTHING TO BE WORRIED ABOUT AND HAD NO EVIDENCE TO BELIEVE MEMBRANE WOULD GROW TO BE TALL ORE EVEN VIEW HIM AS A THREAT
You bunked your own argument. Congradulations.
Membrane conquered the world through his inventions. In a way, sure. Membrane Labs does own a lot of stuff. But he doesn’t own everything. A majority of the Corporations that keep the population stupid usually don’t have anything to do with Membrane Labs and aren’t affiliated at all.
But this does fit into the “Membrane is an Irken” theory so I will give him that one.
However, Membrane being an evil corporate dictator is a hot take I never really appreciate at all and I can never get behind it.
It hits too close to home in the real world, and I always like to view Membrane as a self-made man and a World loving hippie at his core who just wants to make the world a better place, much like his son, but he actively does something about it. (which can also be why he encourages Dib with real science so much cause he knows Dib wants to save the Earth as much as he does)
Just calling Membrane a capitalist billionaire that doesn’t care about the little guy kinda seems disingenuous towards his character for me.
Especially when Membrane in “Ten Minutes to Doom” created a machine (foodio) that completely end world hunger... which was in BETA in the unreleased episode...
but by the time the movie rolls around... Foodio exists... past his BETA, meaning that he’s probably no expensive than a common household microwave and can materialize food from nothing:
Yeah. Membrane completely ended world hunger off-screen. thanks. (something no capitalist would ever do...)
Membrane also does appearances for charity (in the comics), and often takes funding for sponsorships when he is low on funds and he had to find a cure for pig mouth.
Sure “Membrane conquered the world” fits the Irken theory...
But I never appreciate that take on his character and that is admittedly, very personal bais.
I just wanted to say my peace a little bit here about how I 100% don’t vibe with the “Membrane capitalist/billionaire scum” especially since he ended world hunger...and invented a cure for the un-common cold.
Works for the theory, so good on Mattpatt for that one, but I personally don’t vibe with it.
Mattpatt compared Zim and Dib’s head shape as something to argue... Like because Dib has a similar head shape to Zim... that Dib has to be an alien... Okay... But If you look at the Invader Zim artbook (which I own)
The show has a very distinct look on how they draw characters’ heads. It’s a very distinct stylistic choice and there are pages upon pages in the artbook describing the style and how it looks in motion, and many revision notes to the Korean animators.
There are lots of pages on the artbook describing in detail the differences between the main characters’ heads, what to do, and what not to do.
It’s a difficult style to replicate, and Dib having a big head was mostly a joke from the showrunners to the showrunners, cause they kept drawing Dib’s head slightly bigger to make him look more appealing.
A majority of the audience doesn’t really notice because all the children in the show have big heads. All the kids are like 3-4 feet tall and have huge heads.
Also... Dib’s head is far more rounder then Zim’s in the comics and the Movie... comparing their head shape as an arguing point, when Dib’s head shape changed midway season 1 when the designs got slightly more streamlined is just... bad form..
Dib and Zim’s heads never really look the same from the early episodes as they do later on.
Comparing this character design similarity just because of the artstyle is really stupid.
This is the most infuriating thing about the video... because Mattpatt disproves his own argument with his own footage not a few seconds earlier.
He claims that Gaz sarcastically mentioning she has a squeedly spooch is a canon fact...... but ... hmm.. Mattpatt... can I rewind the footage of your video, please?
Where’s her squeedly spooch?
IS IT BEHIND HER CLEARLY HUMAN ORGANS?! I DON’T SEE IT?
And this isn’t just a stylistic choice... here’s a picture of another human’s organs for comparison.
Mattpatt literally disproved his own argument and ignored the fact that we saw an X-ray of Gaz’s organs in the very same episode...
Gaz doesn’t have a squeedly spooch and she literally was being sarcastic.
and the whole thing is disproved very easily.
Everything Mattpatt says in between those two points, about Dib being taken aboard an alien ship as a baby, and that there is no mother, and the Clone theory... That is all good stuff and this is what the theory video should have speculated and focused on, because there is some digging to be had here... I feel he focused a lot on the wrong points in his video...
And this is the most outrageous point he makes in his video. It’s the thing that pissed me off the most... and lead me to write this essay in the first place.
He claimed Eric Trueheart himself confirmed the clone theory and had story plans where Dib would discover his clone origins.
HE DID NOT!
IN FACT, Eric Trueheart himself published Volume One of the Invader Zim script book AND THIS IS WHAT HE SAID:
Eric neither confirmed nor denied the rumor.
But for Mattpatt to blatantly say that Eric said that Clone Dib was a planned thing by the screenwriters?!
He is BLATANTLY putting words into a Screenwriter’s mouth! Something that you should NEVER do.
Because it is 100% a lie.
He had no source for this claim. He probably just read the same rumor on the wiki and has no source.
This is the reason why I don’t trust videos like Mattpatt. The truth is often stretched for entertainment value, or information is just made up to prove “they were right” about whatever the topic of the day was. He doesn’t even bother to cite the source he got “Eric Trueheart’s word of mouth” from... because it was wrong.
Sorry if this whole thing is more hostile than it intended to be... But Mattpatt was looking at the ENTIRELY wrong evidence for this show....
Irken Membrane is a fun theory... but Mattpatt picked the entirely wrong topics and points of discussion, even to the point of hiding the truth and straight-up lying to his audience about his sources.
It’s kinda like saying “Birds eat ghost peppers because they’re part dragon and dragons can handle spicy food”
While, yeah, Birds are descended from dinos, it’s kinda missing the full story there and it’s not the reason why birds can eat spicy food.
Irken Membrane is a fun fan theory... do what you want with it. I am not here to dissuade Irken Membrane headcanons...
I’m just here to encourage critical thinking, and perhaps NOT put words into content creators' mouths when there is no credible source for it just because it benefits your argument.
#Invader Zim#Film Theory#Mattpatt#danachan's rants#lol sorry i went off but he really needed to cite his sources more on this one

tips on how to get used to using procreate (or more like finding the best brushes and learning to color- ,, im new to digital art)
❅❅ <3
OHH!! I think if you're getting started with any drawing software, you should try all the default brushes first! Procreate has some good ones like nikko rull and shale brush, also the pencils and pens have amazing texture! (HB my beloved) there must surely be artists that you look up to right? yah so start with using brushes that they use or brushes with similar texture as theirs. also try diff kinds of medium brushes like watercolors, acrylic, oils etc (find the one that resonates w you the most!) I try to find brushes that'll suit my artstyle, I'm more into this whole cartoonish/manga kinda style so brushes with textures of crayon or color pencils are my go to! also choosing the right brush for line art (if u do lineart that is) is vv important too!
As for coloring, u need to decide what kind of artsyle you're into! I don't render my works a lot actually. I just use warm/peachy shades for the shadows and mess around with the layer settings and add in some blues in the darkest places. Once you find the right brushes, you'll figure out the coloring style! (trust meee)
I hope this helps!! <3

My surrealism art piece I created last week in the ceramics workshop. ✨💫I was encouraged by the lecturers to use various mark making tools to create an experimental work.
I searched online for academic journals to learn more about this artsyle and movement, and I found an Oxford academic journal which helped me understand more about what “experimental art” really is, in detail.
John A. Walker (Glossary of Art, Architecture and Design Since 1945, 1973, 3rd edn, 1992) writes of ‘experimental’: He wrote that, ‘it is a word with both positive and negative connotations: it is used to praise and condemn. Those writers who connotate it as a term of praise often mean by it a practice in which the artist plays with their materials and adopts chance procedures in the expectation that something of value will occur. Those writers who disapprove of “experimental” mean by that it “ is a trial run”, “not the finished work”, and “something transitional”. Mr Walker also points out that in E. H. Gombrich's book “The Story of Art”, published in 1950, that the whole period of 20th century art was featured in a chapter called ‘Experimental Art’.
Inventive art is similar to experimental art, challenging the status quo, which goes beyond the “possible”, introducing a style which is uncategorizable and is not marketable. An experimental work of art is highly innovative in form, but it doesn’t entirely succeed in what it attempts, it depicts trial-and-error and it remains outside the mainstream artistic production.
I investigated into the idea of experimental art and inventive art and I came across this interesting article which helped me understand these new terminologies!
Experimental art is often associated with the movement of modernism and surrealism which I found really related to my piece based on surrealism and my project itself.
The swirls remind me of the spirals seen frequently in the movement of sea waves, and the circles remind me of swimming rings bobbing along the currents and the dotted element reminds me of a fluffy cloud floating or closed eyes. I also enjoy how this piece could be interpreted as an artwork depicting the Sahara desert due to the appearance of sand dunes and dust storms which frequently appear in arid regions such as the Sahara desert.

The Wolf at Court
Author’s Note: Ahhh Vikings lol I didn’t jump back in with smut, but I did want to write some Ubbe. It’s a banter lol I hope you enjoy! A follow up likely to come! How are yall btw!! The fandom is sooo quiet even though we have shirtless Jordan Patrick Smith with a sexy ass haircut, Marco holding puppies and Alex being Alex lol
Warnings: None, Cute banter.
Pairings: Ubbe x Reader
It irritated you to even see the heathen at court, but King Alfred was fond of the Northman. He stood beside the young king, whispering into his ear what you knew to be falsehoods and likely a ploy for the Danes that were set to attack any day. You were not enamored with acts of the Wolf. He was a threat, and a danger to Wessex was a threat to you.
“Lady Y/N.” Ealhswith touched your hand. She was new to Wessex, the throne, and the sight of the Vikings. Her eyes were fixated on the man next to her new husband. “Tell me of this, Ubbe.”
“Trader to his people, likely to become one to ours.” Your description of the unkempt Viking was short and sweet. He didn’t deserve more of your breath. “Are we to church your grace?”
“Yes.”
His eyes were oddly light for the dark soul you were sure he owned, they followed you from your seat to the entrance of the castle. Your eyes rolled, behooved at what his problem was more importantly, uncaring about why he suddenly was infatuated with you. You twiddled with your fingers as you followed the queen through the courtyard, it was not a sudden infatuation. The Viking liked to stalk you with those light eyes often, you were not interested.
The Vikings were terrorists, they had incited fear in the people of Wessex for the past thirty years, and now, because one came bearing peace, the people were supposed to have open arms. You would do no such thing.
Church passes quickly, followed by the King and Queen dismissing themselves for dinner. You’d taken to the courtyard, the stars were outshining over the kingdom like a million diamonds.
“Lady Y/N.” The smooth but somehow graveled voice came from behind you.
You knew who it was, the wolf who had made his way into court. You turned on your heel, noting your assumption was right. Before you stood Ubbe Lothbrok, one of the sons of the infamous Ragnar Lothbrok. “Ubbe,” You sighed. “How can I help you?”
”I noticed you do not speak to me, even though I make…” He paused. His English was slightly broken, but in comparison to others, it was decent. “attempts.” He said after searching for the words. “Am I not worth your time?”
“You are not.”
His brow furrowed as it was not the answer he expected. He swayed back as if he had been struck and then smiled at you. This was something you’d never witnessed in court. He appeared brutish and stern. This smile made him feel human-like; he was not on a hunt. “That was not the answer I expected.”
“Never assume Ubbe, perhaps that is the first lesson you should learn of Wessex.”
“And the second?”
“I am not a teacher, I will not give lessons to you.” You rebutted. You looked over him, the copper red furs and the line of tattoos down his face. He looked like a savage.
“I didn’t ask you to.” Ubbe chuckled. “I think you believe me to be a killer. But I was a soldier, just as I am now. In the last year, I have lost my father and mother, and now my brothers have turned against me. I can see an enemy from around the world. That is what you are, Y/N.”
“I am no enemy.”
“And you are no friend either.”
“No, I’m not.”
“Is there any way I can change that, I am alone here.”
“Go home.”
“That is it.” He paused. “I don’t have one anymore.” Ubbe looked at you. “So, my interest in you is a selfish one, I guess.”
“All interest of Vikings are selfish, wolf.” You rolled your eyes.
“I can show you a wolf.” He grinned.
“I’m certain you could, but sir, there is nothing for you here.” You pivot on your heel.
“I see plenty for me.” His smile once again ignited everything in you.
“Goodnight, Ubbe…”
“Dream of me.”
“I prefer not to have nightmares.” You taunted, leaving him alone in the courtyard.
