#Maverick's pet cats so to say

[mgsr-sing-to-me]

Me talking to my dev team about Chapter 1: "Maverick organising a meeting between Raiden and Sam was important to avoid a bloodbath. It's similar to when you're having to carefully introduce your cat to another cat that you just adopted and brought home: You need to treat the first meeting between your cats with lots of caution and prepare for it in advance."

Nicks family, and how he got his callsign (kinda)

To say that the Bradshaw family home was chaos would be an understatement. Goose is the eldest of four. He’s got two sisters and a baby brother, who he loves equally but fuck they could be annoying.

The youngest, Billy, was turning four the year Goose died, and he is an absolute devil. Don’t get me wrong, he’s adorable, but fuck does he know it. If anything doesn’t go his way, that kid is not afraid to burst out screaming, crying, throwing a tanty on the floor, but the second he gets what he wants, it’s back up dancing around, giggling, flashing those doe eyes whenever he had the opportunity.

Alice is the second eldest. She’s just turned seventeen, and Nick and her get along fantastically. She’s quite mature for her age, more mature than Nick at some points, and is real soft spoken. She can’t cook to save her life, but she tries. Ever the romantic, she’s the kinda girl you’d expect to see in little women. However she’s extremely strong, and ain’t easy to push over. (mentally, not so much physically)

Nina’s eleven, and is absolutely mental. in an endearing way, but she’s still mental. Nick used to joke that his parents needed one of those backpacks with a lead on it for whenever they left the house. Within seconds she could be up a tree, swinging from a doorframe, petting a stray cat, or unsuccessfully trying to pickpocket a stranger. The best way Nick could describe her was ‘firecracker’, and there was no doubt in his mind that if she were to become a pilot, that would be her call sign.

The four kids had intensely different personalities, all seemed to mesh together when they really tried too. But most of the time they never stopped arguing.

The siblings were part of the reason Goose got called Goose. Maverick was invited over one day early on in their careers, and he’d never really seen a close knit family, let alone experienced one. Growing up an orphan and an only child can have that effect.

Walking into the Bradshaw family home could be quite the experience. When Mav arrived it was particularly instense. Billy was running round with his pants around his ankles, giggling and screaming with laughter as his mother Ruth chased him round the house, attempting to get his diaper on him.

Nina was sniffling at the kitchen bench, having just scraped her knee on the pavement outside, after attempting to race one of the neighbours boys down the street. She had proclaimed that one of the boys had tripped her cuz she was gonna win.

And Alice was standing at the stove, attempting to keep the soup from boiling over. It wasn’t going so well, but mum was busy, so she was struggling in silence.

The house was so loud, no one really noticed that the two aviators had arrived. Goose lit up at seeing his family, and immediately went to turn the heat off on the stove, giving Nina a quick peck on the cheek.

He then grabbed the first aid kit from under the sink, its spot from which it hadn’t moved in over ten years. It was the easiest spot to grab whenever someone (Nina) hurt themselves.

Nick quickly slathered some antiseptic on her wound and fixed it up, and have her a tight hug. As he turned around, he was nearly bowled over by Billy jumping into his arms, still pants less.

Maverick laughed as he watched the scene unfold, the grins on the whole family’s faces were infectious.

Ruth swears Goose is like a second mother, when he was home all the time, it was chaos but it was more enjoyable for sure.

Mav quickly became at home with the family, and they all lived happily ever after (until they didn’t)

I'm forcing everyone to look at my Cranes pet/animal hcs Jasmine has a dog, cat and snake.

Thomas has a cat

Jasmine forced Thomas to make their cats have a play date. it was a success in Jasmine's words.

Thomas's cat is an orange and white tabby named Daisy.

Jasmine's pet names are: Dog- Mushu Cat- Meowvrick (He's a black cat with long fur, she had to name him after her boss <:sobbingBoss:1183934764386898000> ) Snake- Mr. Snoodle (She let her friend Jenifer pick this name. She regrets it afterwards 💀)

Jasmine used to have a big fluffy dog when she was a little kid. She was old but still energetic. She absolutely loved her. Sadly one day while on a walk, an unleashed dog tried attacking little Jasmine. Luckily her dog was there and defended her. Unfortunately, while her dog won, she was left heavily injured. She carried her back home (with struggle) and tried to help her, but it was too late. It took a lot of years after to get a new dog since she was heart broken

Jasmine kept a lot of centipedes in a little bucket and gave them names. They would always die and she cried every time (she was like 9) ((also she held funerals for them and completely forgot about them afterwords))

In 7th grade she went over to Thomas's house and saw that he had a pet bird. She loved spending her time with Cracker (Thomas named him 💀)

Oh yeah, Thomas had a pet bird named Cracker. He named him when he was 10.

Thomas would always bring home the most scrungkliest feral cats, and his parents would force him to let them back outside (he always cried bc he loved them a lot, even if they scratched his face up)

Jasmine and Ryan would always help him capture these cats. Mainly Ryan bc he knew what he was doing.

Ryan had a pet horse who he still visits to this day (horse was a baby when he got him)

Ryan is scared of every dog except his tiny little dachshund who he named Snake (he grew out of this fear eventually)

Ryan loved turtles as a kid. He had a pet turtle named Hank (they were kids ok--)

Ryan didn't like Thomas's bird as a kid (he bit his finger) Every time Ryan went to his cousin's house, he would immediately hide from their heeler dog (they lived on a ranch) Once while on the trampoline, his cousin's dog got on and Ryan started freaking out, struggling to get away since he was laying down.

He hates the rooster on his cousin's family ranch

Ryan took horse riding lessons

Maverick has a black axolotl who he named Latte (haha reference)

When Maverick was little, he was constantly surrounded by birds and other rain forestly type animals. He took care of 2 Scarlet Macaws that frequently visited his childhood home, a pet Capybara named Stinkle, and an Iguana named Chico

Maverick loves animals, give him a cat to play with and he melts immediately "Awhhh, aren't you a stinky little thing?? Yeah you don't like me, but I don't care. No one likes me either way!!" "Boss, we have to give the cat back" "No, she's mine now." "Boss--" "Ryan, can't you see we're bonding??" He says as the furious little kitten is biting him

Maverick is scared of horses (a horse licked him when he was little)

He LOVES cranes. He absolutely loves them. It's been his dream to have one as a pet, but sadly the only cranes that lives in the states is the sandhill crane and whooping crane, and they're illegal to own as pets. (He'll get one eventually)

When he got to see a crane up close once, his fixiation started HARD. Bring up a crane in discussion and he'll list off all the facts about them from the top of his head.

The crane trio gave him the axolotl for his birthday. Maverick didn't like aquatic type animals, so he was sorta pissed at first. But when he saw the axolotl was black, he fell in love. "You got me a fish…?" "Well, not really, it's an axolotl!" "…Whatever it is, I don't want that disgusting--" Sees it's black "….You're my baby now. I'm naming you Latte. I'll build an entire ecosystem for you, and we'll talk about cranes together." "…Told you he'll love it."

Alex is scared of cats (he got chased by an orange kitten when he was little)

He really likes Cheetahs, their swiftness intrigue him

He really wants a pet dog, but never found the time to make room for one (his job 💔 )

When Ryan and Alex move in together after this hell, Ryan got him a Golden Shepard breed, and Alex loved her (he cried when he held her in his arms)

Alex and Ryan are dog parents

They got a Doberman after

Crows are fairly fond of Alex, they constantly bring him little shiny jewels since he feeds them

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

That's all I have for now </3

[sendpseuds]

15 questions

Thank you to @sky-kenobye @yourfavoritefridge and @ladylucksrogue for the tag!

1. Are you named after anyone?

Not really? I’m sorta named after a liqueur….

2. When was the last time you cried?

Literally, like, a few hours ago.

3. Do you have kids?

Nope, and very unlikely to do so.

4. What sports do you play/ have you played?

I swam throughout high school while doing the school musicals at the same time. I also played lacrosse for several years and played water polo for a bit in college which is always gets a great reaction.

5. Do you use sarcasm?

Hahahahaha

6. What's the first thing you notice about people?

I don’t want to just say “vibe” because that doesn't feel quite right, but it’s really difficult to explain…

I feel like, when I meet someone, I can tell pretty quickly if we’re going to get along, but I think it’s less about assessing their overall aura [or whatever], and more that I can almost immediately tell who someone else wants me to be. What they want out of the interaction. It’s like I can feel their expectation of me before anyone has even opened their mouth.

This is 100% a trauma response, I am totally aware of that, but it can still be a really useful tool for someone like me who, often comes off as being a little too much.

7. What's your eye colour?

Green

8. Scary movies or happy endings?

Both

9. Any talents?

I’ve gotten pretty good at twirling a lightsaber!

10. Where were you born?

Western New York

11. What are your hobbies?

Oh boy. Obviously, writing and drawing, but I also love to cook, enjoy watching sports [so excited for baseball to be back], I dig camping and hiking [nothing extreme], absolutely adore the water, and can often be found making mushrooms out of clay.

12. Do you have any pets?

Yes! An adorably evil cat named Ricky [whose real name is Maverick, but I’m way more likely to call him Richard] and a very sweet pup named Pepper [who will be your best friend whether you want her to or not]

13. How tall are you?

5’5’’

14. Favourite subject in school?

Uh. Art? I don’t know. High School was not my favorite time.

15. Dream job?

No, thank you.

I don’t know. I’ve been struggling with the concept of work for a really long time.

I really hate the feeling of being commodified. Whenever I show someone a piece of art, or tell them I write, there’s inevitably a moment where they say something to the effect of “You could totally sell that,” and to me, it always sounds like they’re saying “Sell your soul. It’s worth less than the money you’d get back.”

Artist. Designer. Writer. I am already all of these things, I don’t need someone else’s money for that to be true.

TLB -

PART ONE the-shadow-of-santa-carla

(Squeal to TLB but my own backstory version and alternate reality)

The Shadows of Santa Carla

Chapter One

Welcome Home

As the bus ride to Santa Carla was finally coming to an end, Maverick and Verity laying on the leather peeling seats hot from the sun shining through the dusty cracked windows opposite of each other. Verity petting her cat Wednesday and Maverick just staring the roof of the bus with the occasional smile as Wednesday bounced back and fourth between them dragging her collar along as Verity didn’t want her walking off in fear of losing her.

“What’s that smell?”

Maverick rises up with a sour look on his face pushing up his glasses looking out the window. Verity giving a small sniff rising up to meet Maverick still looking out the window.

“The fresh ocean air, bon fires, and possible weed” Verity giving one more sniff.

“Smells like someone died...” Looking back at his sister scoffing with a smile.

Verity kneeling behind Maverick balancing her hands on his shoulders as they approach the sign with the colour soaked up by the sun.

“Wait what does that say?” Verity squints taking Mavericks glasses putting them on her playfully.

Murder Capital of the World spray painted on the back of the sign in larger capital letters in red making it stand out.

“Nice...we will be dead by the end of the week tops”. Verity laughs.

“Shut up Verity...so I guess this is our home now” he squeezes her hands tightly laughing.

“I guess it is”

Still looking out the window as the sign got further away with Wednesday giving a cute sneeze as if she smelled the air too.

Finally arriving at the station hopping off the bus Maverick helping Verity with her belongings all their live in a bag and suitcases.

“Verity! Maverick!” A voices calls out with a tall man waving smiling wearing dark shaded sunglasses with baggy jeans, a tank top with an open flannel over it.

They smile as he gives them a hug each.

“Who is this?” He questions looking at Wednesday the black cat.

“Wednesday, Verity likes to pet stray animals that probably have 10 diseases but couldn’t let this one go” Maverick giving an amused grin poking fun at her.

“Well, welcome to Santa Carla Wednesday” Reed smirks scratching her head.

“He's awfully cheerful..” Verity remarks to Maverick making sure Reed doesn’t hear her.

“Don't start V, please give this a try..” Maverick sighs nearly begging Verity.

Taking the suitcase from Verity walking them to his truck giving a free spirited vibe getting in the truck with Maverick in the front and Verity in the back with it sputtering at he started it so much they were thinking the engine is about to blow. There was a brief pause of awkwardness -

“Umm, listen I am really sorry about your mom-“

“It's ok…”

“Yeah it’s fine”

They quickly say at once looking away Verity fidgeting at her black painted nails and Maverick looking out the window. Reed getting the hint they don’t want to talk about it clearing his throat.

“You two are going to love it here, I promise, there’s a fun fair, hardly rains, so much stuff kids your age can do…how old are you two again…? 16? 17? Reed giving an excited and wild vibe, Reed being not much older than Verity and Maverick being 23, taking them in as their guardian until they are 18. He was deemed fit to take them in as upon Mavericks and Verity’s mothers request and suitable as he has a good income and background.

“17” Verity nods.

“Is it true?” Maverick asks with no other context.

“What’s true?” Reed questions side eyeing him.

“That this place is Murder Capital of the World?” Verity’s eyes widen now interested in what he has to say.

Reeds face turning bright red for a second hesitant thinking of what kind of answer to give he stammers -

“No- I mean...yeah a few people have gone missing-“

“Missing?” Verity jumps up getting in between the seats close to Reed with Mavericks surprised look across his face.

“Did, used too, -not anymore for a long time but there’s stories and exaggerated stories, you’ll love it here I live on the boardwalk right above a record store which I own, coolest store in town great vibes” He tells fixing his sunglasses and sounding impressed. Which Maverick and Verity are impressed.

“Maybe it wont be so bad huh V?” Maverick looks back at his sister giving her a warm smile. Not saying anything Verity gives a warm smile back nodding, looking out the window taking in the new view of her home.

Finally Reed pulls into a car space just beside the boardwalk. Verity and Maverick taking in their new surroundings, it feels so lively and chaotic, this is during the day, how will it be at night? Making out the record store in the distance looking up at the windows where their new home awaits. Verity and Maverick feeling strange as they could feel the eyes burning on them by the locals who sat outside their own businesses or passing by.

“What’s their problem?” Maverick whispers to Verity looking back at them with the same expression.

“I don’t know maybe they are used to new people moving in?” Verity shrugs her shoulders pulls her sunglasses down looking at the locals still staring.

“Here we are” Reed halts suddenly having Maverick and Verity almost trip over their own feet.

“This isn’t bad as what I was expecting it to be”- Maverick eyes widen as he accidently says it out loud making Verity giggle.

“ I try to keep her pretty” he smiles unlocking the door to a narrow staircase.

“Can’t wait to walk up this drunk” Verity whispers to Maverick which makes him laugh out loud again.

“Don’t walk down it drunk” Reed smiles.

Maverick following Reed up the stairs and asking questions about what to do around here and other nonsensical questions.

“Verity! Come help unpack I ain't doing your stuff!” Mavericks voice calls.

Reaching the top of the stairs behind her brother to a narrow hallway the door opening to a much larger and expected apartment. It was an open floor with the kitchen and living area, slightly messy with a bookshelf next to the couch and the coffee table with old take out cups and more books, in front a TV that looks brand new, vintage yet tasteful furniture’s and up to date stereo, the air smelling of tobacco yet a fresh smell as the small balcony opened up with a view on the beach.

“How does he afford all of this?” Maverick whispers to Verity as the look around, Verity’s finger tips gently skipping through the books and vinyl’s. In complete awe with the apartment, their new home.

“Welcome Home” Reed drops the final bag on the ground. “Now sorry for the bad news, it’s used to be one big room but divided up into two rooms so it might be smaller.

Maverick and Verity didn’t mind sharing a room. Back when their mother was in hospital while they were alone at night without anyone there, they would sleep in the same room together so neither of them would get nightmares. When one of then gets scared, they would immediately get the feeling one another is afraid and would come in before they call their name. Of course, privacy will get annoying eventually.

The door making a small creaak sound as Maverick opened his room, spacious with a window you could walk out of, an old small double bed and with old oak drawers, floors with a classic style and the walls with plain paint meaning plenty of room for improvement and to add to his taste, picturing how it will look once he is done. He knew he is going to love this room, apartment and new life.

Now Verity opening her door with the same creaak sound. Her eyes widening at first glance, wow she thought to herself. Admiring the classic floors and bed, swiping her fingers over the oak drawers wiping the dust off. Pulling the net curtains to the side to the window opening it wide. Walking out onto the lower roof that looks out onto the boardwalk with the stores below. Taking in the fresh air, soaking up the hot sun with the wind, her long black hair dancing with the breeze that blows.

“Hello there” Mavericks voice calls out behind. Looking at his sister as he climbs out of his own window.

“We could do something with this, maybe few yard chairs. Oh there’s a comic bookstore nice!” he points.

Patting him on the back walking back to her window, ��Come on I’m beat, we’ll go later, I'm going to run to that convenience store for a smoke and drink you coming?”

“Nah, I need a shower save me one tho” he declines walking back to his own window with her Wednesday on his bed making herself comfortable asleep.

“Suit yourself” shutting the window.

Verity standing at the front door leaning against the wall in the right spot where the shade covers her eyes, smoking a long needed cigarette chugging down her water she had been craving. Looking around her to take in her new surroundings seeing the comic book store that Maverick pointed to earlier and standing outside, a guy outside looking at her with a dog then quickly looking away. Tall, dirty blonde hair with sunglasses on blocking his eyes but it was obvious he was looking at her smoking a cigarette of his own. Wearing a wide washed out black and grey shoulder tank top that showed off his tattoos with a band logo and washed out jeans. Hearing his name being called now knowing his name is Sam, he drops his cigarette and looks one more time as Verity makes eye contact with him taking off her own sunglasses scrunching her nose.

What's his problem?

🔥we are “proship”. If we followed you and you have “proship” on your dni, you’re welcome to block, however, may I suggest you learn what “proship” means, and not the propaganda you’ve been fed by “antis”? Ship and let ship, don’t like don’t read, your kink is not my kink, tag your fiction properly, censorship of fiction will lead to censorship of queer identities: these are the core “proship” beliefs. If you agree with them, you are “proship”, whether you wish to be associated or not. We don’t actually care about fandom nonsense nor are we passionate about shipping. Proship is in quotes because I find the entire argument ridiculous to begin with, obviously fiction is not reality and anyone with half a brain can differentiate the two. If you can watch a horror movie without real trauma, other people can read weird smut without acting out anything dangerous. If you are disgusted by a certain fictional action, you’re welcome to not engage with it, but you have no right to enforce censorship out of disgust. That is how queer people become censored. Yes, that includes your disgust for That.

🔥we are pro good-faith identities. That includes endos. It is not “punk” to be anti good-faith identities.

🎀Hello. I like tea and dresses. I also like cake. I like princesses, especially Cinderella and Aurora (Sleeping Beauty). Anastasia is also nice. I like animated movies. 2D, not 3D. I think 3D animation is stupid and not very creative because everyone is doing it nowadays. Coraline is good though, because it’s Claymation, which to me is not the same as 3D animation.

🔭 - Estella - she/they - 21

🔭I’m the matchmaker of the system! I try to match alters with other alters that’ll meet their needs. I also love creative projects, specifically videogames, and want to learn how to make our own videogames. I’m a robot catgirl :3 ALSO I love minecraft!! I am so bad at it but I love it though

🐁 - Fobi - it/she - unclear

🐁whhhhhy am I being made to front. Hhh. Okay. I like running away. I am the flee stress response. If I’m fronting, something bad is probably happening to us. I’m not particularly social. I don’t want to do anything but ESCAPE

🦇 - Grim - it/its - unclear

🦇I like being hurt… I don’t know… I’m kind of messed up. My role is to be the punching bag. The pincushion. I’m the fawn stress response. Or something… I don’t know. I just want to appease, and sometimes that means people need someone to be mad at, and I can be what they’re mad at

🌺 - Haven - she/he - 21

🌺I like our friends! I like cats and dogs and cat and dog friendship dynamics. I like making friends and meeting people. I love cuddles and hugs. I care about people. I love giving gifts, tickling people, spoiling people, taking care of people, and offering words of affirmation. You should talk to us and get to know us, maybe we can be friends!

🏵️ - Hope - she/any - ageless

🏵️I’m HOPE!!!! I love dandelions and gardens and flowers and plants. I also love butterflies and bees. And I believe things are going to be okay. Things will get better. Things will be okay. You should believe too. You’re doing okay. You’ll be okay. Don’t worry, everything will work out. Yes, even that.

✏️ - Indigo - they/them - 12

✏️howdy, I’m Indigo!! I LOVE wings of fire!!!!!! I know everything about wings of fire. If you mention wings of fire I will either front immediately or loom near front. I also love undertale but I have no idea about any of the aus that were made, I just know what happened in canon. Deltarune is awesome too!! I love writing stories and want to be a book author.

🎊 - Jynx - she/any - ageless

🎊I’m the coolest entity in existence. They call me the godhunter. You’ll learn to love me. You’ll learn to worship and adore me. Because I’m literally the best. I like stepping on people, fancy extravagant outfits, big flashy entrances and dramatic exits, and huge loud events. I need everyone’s attention constantly.

🍠 - Kakxyl - he/any - eternal

🍠Greetings. I am Kakxyl. I am old and tired. An ancient being that longs for mortality. I enjoy baking, cooking, and eating. I care greatly for my children, Jynx, Lynx, and Present, though I haven’t always been the best father. I believe nothing is eternal, not even eternity itself, and all things shall break from their cycles.

🫐 - Lynx - he/any - ageless

🫐hey. I’m Kakxyl’s son. We’re getting rid of immortality. Me, Jynx, and Present. So that I can murder my dad. Haha, just kidding. Or am I. I like purples and blues, especially pastel ones. I don’t really have a role anymore. I was the freeze stress response, but not anymore

⚓️ - Maverick - he/they - 21

⚓️I’m so tired of making intro posts. I’m always tired though. I’m Maverick, captain of the system. I make the final decisions on anything that could severely impact our system. I like the ocean and pirates and shit like that or whatever. I like slay the princess, prisoner is my fav. Fun fact, front body can’t swim, which pisses me off to no end.

🔮 - Merlin - they/them - 20

🔮hey I have anxiety and I’m writing this at the worst possible time LITERALLY why. Okay so. I’m a wizard. Yeah. That’s it. I don’t like sharing things about ourselves. I prefer to hide everything and be secretive and mysterious. I like running and hiding from my problems.

🐈‍⬛ - Nevermore - she/her - adult

🐈‍⬛oh dear, hello. I am Nevermore, I’m married to Hope, we love to garden together. I consider myself a healer, I mend the wounds of others, and a guardian, I protect others from harm.

🩵 - Present - she/it - adult

🩵hello, I’m present. I believe no sentient entity is worthy of godhood or immortality. That’s irrelevant in this world, though, so it doesn’t matter :>. I like blue things, winter, and flying. I think the well-being of many is more important than the well-being of one, but the trolley problem creates a false dichotomy, it tricks you into picking one of two choices, when in reality, everyone has infinite choices at all times.

👑 - Prince - he/him - 9

👑I’m prince. I like videogames, like spore and minecraft. I also like online chat room type of games. We used to play animaljam but when adobe flash broke then our account was deleted so now we play pony town. I prefer sitting inside and playing videogames on my own. I can be very irritable and snappy.

🥀 - Quasiren - they/them - 18

🥀I’m quasi! I like big feelings. The more passionate, the better. I like to feel crazy. Like I’ll die of overwhelming feelings! Good or bad. Maverick is super intense about everyone having a really specific purpose, so I guess mine is to seek intimacy, or something like that. I love TCOAL and BTD/TPOF!!! I’m teeeeechnically a slurry of Ashley Graves, Ren Hana, The Thorn (STP), and a previous host all melted together. You should be our friend! I promise it’ll be worth it!! ^v^

🧦 - Socks - they/them - 15

🧦hiiiii! I’m socks. Unsurprisingly, I like socks. I like collecting socks. Especially colorful socks or silly socks with cool patterns. I like socks that go up to at least my knees but prefer thigh highs, though I don’t mind shorter socks as long as they look silly. I also like collecting littlest pet shop and squinkies. We had an animaljam account but it’s gone now because we didn’t log on after the flashplayer thing stopped working or whatever. I love Kakxyl, he is a big fluffy pink dragon and soooo cuddly.

🕊️ - Utopia - they/any - ageless

🕊️hello. I enjoy spirituality and discussion about religious or spiritual concepts. I hold a fascination for all things spiritual. We currently consider our system as a whole agnostic, though we love theorizing about spirituality, and we believe it is possible to form deep spiritual connections that allow for such things as dream visiting or syshopping.

🦠 - Vitriol - it/its - adult

🦠we’re disgusting, evil, vile, a nasty disease on this earth. Everything about us is despicable, so you should hate us. If you don’t, you should. If you don’t now, you will. Befriending us is dangerous. Being close to us is dangerous. We’re evil.

🕸️ - Webber - they/any - ageless

🕸️ah, hello. :}. I am webber. I’m a spider deity. I represent trust. I enjoy cuddling and I’m quite fond of, well, tying people down.

🪷hey! I front the most nowadays I think, so I’m also sort of the host. I like rainworld, especially Five Pebbles my love! I’m part of the memory collector line, the most recent one, which is why no one else mentions me, because I’m just editing this to add myself XD

🌲Hello. I am Yarrow. Zenith wants me to refer to myself as “spousething” for zer. Yes, I love zer very much. I reflect back to people parts of themselves they may not have seen. I like writing about our system and chronicling everything that goes on in the system.

🌊 - Zenith - ze/zer - primordial

🌊hiiiii I’m the overprotective Wifething of Yarrow and Xray. I also consider myself top mama of everyone in the system, including Nevermore. I guess that’s makes me top grandmama. I’m everyone’s mom’s mom!!!! If you’re a mom iiii outrank you. I outmom you. I’m the mom of all time. What else do you need to know about me? I like water! Splish splash.

Rating: 3.5/5

Book Blurb: Love brings down the haunted house in this captivating romance from the acclaimed author of The Romantic Agenda. Lucky Hart has a special affinity for the supernatural but almost no one takes parapsychology seriously. She’s estranged from her family, lost her friends, and has been rejected from graduate school. Twice. But her big break finally arrives when she gets insider info about a troubled production company. Every actor on their new show mysteriously quits after spending three nights inside Hennessee House, an old Victorian with a notorious reputation.

After scheming her way onto the show to investigate, Lucky meets Maverick Phillips and chemistry instantly crackles between them. He tempts her in ways no one ever has, challenging and supporting her, and making her finally feel seen. Their connection is so palpable everyone notices it–including Hennesee House.

Now Lucky and Maverick’s relationship has a challenger: the lonely, sentient house desperate for her undivided attention. As love begins to clash with career, Lucky refuses to choose one over the other because everyone deserves a happily ever after, even houses with haunted hearts. But when all her plans begin backfiring one-by-one, she realizes that if she wants to have it all? She'll have to risk everything.

Review:

An asexual woman with ESP agrees to stay in a haunted house for thirty days for a tv show, the last thing she expects is to find romance, a new pet cat, and the possible funding for her degree in parapsychology... that is if she can even last more than three nights compared to all the other caretakers who left before her. Lucky Hart has a special affinity for the supernatural yet parapsychology is a very small field and no one takes the field seriously. She wants to make it in this field and desperately wants funding. After being rejected from her grad school twice, she finally gets a chance when she gets info about a production company trying to find a new contestant for their semi-reality show called The Caretaker, in which a contestant has to stay inside the haunted Hennessee House for 30 days. The previous caretakers couldn't stay more than three days before the hauntings became too much. Lucky knows if she gets the job it'll finally be her big break, whether to prove the house is haunted or just get an investor. When she begins staying there she meets Maverick, someone she's adored and soon finds herself falling for him, yet being asexual in a relationship is something new for her. Not to mention she's also beginning to realize the way the house is haunting people. Can Lucky figure out the mystery of Hennessee House and her own relationship? Let me start off by saying I loved the way asexual rep was explored in this story and discussed. The romance was a bit insta love for me but I didn't mind it as much. The story itself was a bit slow in parts and lagging in others. It very much was a slow cozy romance read and I think it would be a great one for people to pick up during spooky season. It's as if Hallmark made a book, thats the best way I would describe this book. It's not bad but it just felt a bit slow for me and dragged on at certain parts. I would recommend it but I also think it could have been better. Overall, yes add this to your spooky season tbr for a soft slow romance with asexual rep.

For the Steddie Ask Game: 5 & 11!

WOOOO OKAY I WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD ASK #11 :D Thank you so much for the ask!

5. If they had pets what would they be?

So I don't think either of them had a pet growing up - Steve because his parents didn't want an animal shedding fur all over the house or causing a ruckus, and Eddie because by the time he wanted a pet he was already living with Wayne and the trailer's way too small for most pets. Eddie does, however, go out of his way to befriend the stray cats of the trailer park and leave food out for them; he's named them all and says they all have very distinct personalities.

Once they're living together and have their own place, however, they definitely get a dog. Steve has always dreamed about having a dog, something on the bigger side, that he can play with and take with him when he goes jogging at the local park. Eddie is fine with getting a bigger dog - he might be more partial to cats thanks to his devoted following of stray cats back in the trailer park, but he's one of those people who's partial to both - but they do have some arguments about what specific breed to get. It's settled when Steve says that Eddie's welcome to get a cat of his choice if he lets Steve choose what breed of dog they get - and that's how they end up with Maverick the labrador retriever (he's one of the chocolate-coloured ones) and Elvira the incredibly spoiled housecat (who's black with some white patches).

(Also, after a while, Eddie finally twists Steve's arm into letting him realize some of his more exotic pet dreams. Eddie absolutely gets a pet snake and he's in love with her.)

11. Which one would confess their attraction/love first? Why?

(Okay this post got super long because of my chronic case of can't shut the fuck up, so I'm putting my answer to this one under a cut lmao)

OOOOOOH BOY OKAY *rubs hands together gleefully* In terms of fic, I can read/write it going either way (depending on the AU/interpretation of the characters/events leading up to the confession) but assuming we're going with a classic post-canon "vecna's dead but everyone else is fine actually" type of setting...

I think Eddie is the one who confesses first, but he's not planning for it to be a confession. See, I'm a die-hard truther of Confident Bisexual Steve Harrington™, and let me tell you, the moment that man realises he likes Eddie he is laying it on thick. Sure, not as thick as he would with girls (because homophobia is a thing, and also he's not as sure-footed with seducing another guy as he is a girl) but he is absolutely hitting Eddie with the full power of the Harrington Charm. Eddie, who is really not used to being pursued by other men (especially not like this; usually if someone's pursuing him, it's in a gay club with the intention being a bathroom quickie) absolutely does not know how to handle this. Doesn't help that Eddie's got a tiiiiiiny little complex about being inherently unlovable/"too much" for other people and commitment issues as a result of that, so he's terrified of letting anyone get too close for fear they'll realise Eddie actually is too much and leave him.

So Eddie is being driven slowly insane by Steve's relentless charisma until one day he snaps and asks Steve what the actual fuck is going on here. Because he's so frazzled (and a little insane because of the Steve of it all), he accidentally exposes himself as being very into Steve in return. Steve is thrilled, tells Eddie that what's going on here is that he really likes Eddie, and how about they kiss about it and maybe go on a date sometime? (Plus or minus the miscommunication spice of Mr Commitment Issues Munson saying "oh but this is just a fuckbuddies thing right" and Steve going "oh god oh fuck- I mean haha yeah sure" and them having 20k words of angst about it before Sorting Their Shit Out™.)

I don't think Steve would take the plunge of actually confessing because he, too, has a complex about being inherently unlovable and not being good enough for just about anyone he cares about, really, but especially Eddie. Plus, he has a lingering fear that he bullied Eddie directly in high school and forgot about it, or that Eddie might have forgiven Steve for his asshole jock days enough to be his friend but not enough to be his boyfriend. He's confident enough in himself to flirt with Eddie, especially after the first few tentative tries get what look like positive responses, but he's absolutely not going to put himself out there without some plausible deniability. If Eddie wants him, Steve reasons, then all he has to do is make it obvious that he likes Eddie back and then Eddie will make a move, right?

These boys are So Clueless and have So Many Issues and I need them to kiss on the mouth about it.

Ask me about my Steddie opinions! (steddie-pinions?)

[paragonrobits]

thinking of one of my main characters, originally ideated as an Alchemical Exalted and taking their canonical gimmick of 'we don't learn magical techniques like the other characters, we install magitech devices to do similar jobs and give us a unique load out and specialization-based system' and expanding on that so she has the power to incorporate machinery into her body and develop new abilities based on what she currently has integrated

and now this has combined with her heavily drawing upon the forbidden Voidtech powers from Exalted (twisted and corrupted magitech that breaks limits at the cost of turning into a Maverick/Decepticon, gruesome applications, becoming vulnerable to the powers of Order, and also being really goddamn gross looking) so that she looks like a biomechanical mass of black and green goop sort of crystalized into shape around a whole bunch of doll's limbs, prosthetics she took up, some kind of horrible mouth that's ALSO her rib cage (Somehow), a massive cluster of arms and hands taken from dolls, shambling about and dragging herself with those malformed, horrible composite body, all while her core shines a horrible, sickening green light

she finds a gun, and installs it. One set of arms shudders, and abruptly splits into a dozen imitations of a gun like that, conjuring quasi-flesh ammo from her own body. She coughes horrible and spits up a smoking, noxious substance that burns into flames as an attack.

She turns.

she SEES you.

and her face is a mass of two many eyes on one side, covered by a crude mask assembled from random parts, and now she's approaching you and-

she's just coming up to say hi. That's it. Then she wanders off, jumps out of a manhole cover to give someone the spooks for a giggle, goes to find and return someone's lost cat (and give them a stern talking-to about KEEPING YOUR PETS IN DOORS, THE OUTSIDE IS BAD) and remaining in the sewers. She says, with a strangely brittle little imitation of a smile, of course she goes to the sewers.

That's where mistakes like her probably belong.

(The present idea is that a part of her powers takes the Alchemical load out system and applies to the power of incorporation; she can absorb machinery, weapons and devices into her body. Smaller devices simply merge, giving her access to them, larger ones outright replace or bulk up specific parts of her body. A bit uncertain whether she juices up devices with magic, or if she can transform herself to gain new abilities and capabilities by filtering magic through stuff incorporated into her, or both depending on which is efficient vs more potent but tiring.

her actual 'body' is a core of raw magical power, similar to the Spark of a Transformer or the gem core of a Crystal Gem. She does need to be installed into a body to actually think clearly, as her core isn't really a brain of any kind and doesn't do processing very well. This core can hi jack just about any machine of sufficient size, and she builds up new bodies over time by assimilating more machines, and sometimes generating some kind of weird crystalline... stuff that glues it all together. It's kind of metallic and sometimes goopy

her colors are normally black (possibly rendered dark gray, stylistically) and neon greens. She has that monster energy drink look.

When choosing a name for your male cat, consider his personality, appearance, and your own interests. A name like "Thor" might be perfect for a large, majestic Maine Coon, while "Pixel" could suit a small, energetic Siamese.

Remember that cats respond best to names with one or two syllables, so you might want to use a shortened version of longer names in everyday life. For example, "Perseus" could become "Percy" for daily use.

Some names have interesting origins or meanings that can add depth to your choice. "Jasper," for instance, is not only a gemstone but also the name of one of the Three Wise Men in Christian tradition. "Finn" has roots in Irish mythology, where Finn MacCool was a legendary hero.

Ultimately, the best name for your cat is one that you enjoy saying and that seems to fit your feline friend's unique personality. Happy naming!

Last song: Mi Gente - J. Balvin & Willy William 🎶 From my playlist, because I'm not counting "If I Loved You" by Vagabond even though my tv happens to be playing that scene right now.

Last film: Red, White & Royal Blue because I'm currently watching it as usual. (but if I have to choose one that isn't that... Oh yeah, I introduced my mom to The Beat Beneath My Feet a couple of days ago. A non-Nick movie? Probably Barbie in the theater months ago.

Currently reading: "Rojo, Blanco y Sangre Azul" by Casey McQuiston

Currently watching: It's a theme here. I'm watching "Red, White & Royal Blue", to be specific, it's the museum scene.

Currently consuming: queso and chips

Currently craving: strawberry milkshake

Were you named after anyone?

No, and I suppose in a way, I named myself.

When was the last time you cried?

While I was writing a fic today, there are just some things that my characters must go through, but I go through it with them.

Do you have kids?

No, but I am a very proud aunt.

What sports do you play/have you played?

I've played many, none of them well though. My favorite was something I haven't played since junior high called "Volley Tennis", it was so fun.

Do you use sarcasm?

Yes, but I try to tone it down, though it's a go-to defense and a go-to ice breaker that I probably use way too often.

What's the first thing people notice about you?

Usually that I look much younger than I actually am? Because it seems to be a thing that always comes up a few minutes into a conversation? I think anyway. I honestly am not sure though.

What's your eye color?

Green, but maybe more like a sea glass green.

Scary movies or happy endings?

Happy endings all day! But oh please give me truly understandable angst and slow burn first.

Any talents?

I believe I'm a talented writer and baker, maybe I have some other ones, but I'm not sure anymore what they are as mostly those are the things I do most often.

Where were you born?

Chicago

What are your hobbies?

I have so many, maybe too many. Writing, reading, arts & crafts, building miniatures, going to SPN cons, collecting RWRB books in all languages available, singing, listening to music, road trips, watching baking shows.... probably a lot more.

Do you have any pets?

Right now, I have one dog. But it hurts to say that because I will always have more than that in my heart.

How tall are you?

1.67m

Favorite subject in school?

Art, because that was my reprieve from the otherwise hellish experience. Even if I wasn't good at it, it never mattered to my teacher.

Dream job?

I would like to be a published author who makes enough money not to do anything else but write. Or, I would like to work in the film industry as the person who organizes and keeps track of props and clothing. I've heard so many different titles for that role, so I won't be specific, lol. I just love organizing and doing that job would be awesome.

Top Gun: Maverick hcs that live in my head rent free (based off of imos and me and my life) Pt 4

you heard it here and now folks, it’s part 4! I have more commitment to this series than to my homework. yall are lucky af

- mav can and will flirt with anyone in any given situation; he will give petnames out the more the other reacts (cyclone getting pressed being called honey)

- maverick has a favourite spoon he always uses to eat  breakfast with. it is patterned, and is from the last set he received from his parents before they passed. it means a lot to him, so if you use it, he’ll state: ‘that’s my spoon’ and then proceed to stare at you for the rest of the day. only ice knows this. everyone else just comments on not to use that spoon or else.

- the spoon has made him superstitious, so if he cannot use it for breakfast (when he does have breakfast...) it instantly means that he will have a shit day.

- maverick is usually a black coffee guy. straight black coffee. most mornings? just that. sometimes a proper meal if ice or roos nags enough, but mainly just coffee. ice has either an iced coffee (wow aren’t i original) or a latte.

- maverick, after showers, uses his towel to do his hair up to dry it quicker. his hair is too short for that, but he’s been doing to long enough that it’s too awkward to tell him that it won’t work it’s also just funny to see him walk out of a door with a towel wrapped around his head like if he had just come from a salon

- phoenix is everyone's best friend. if you don’t like her; you’re a walking target and that one is on you. she’s a fucking queen and y’all can’t tell me different.

- phoenix is also a great therapist friend, though, sometimes you gotta just give her a hug so she’s reminded that you’re just as there for her as she is you.

- hangman has dyslexia, but is too good at masking it until it comes to writing reports on paper. it’s his worst nightmare, so he usually gets help from rooster by saying what he is thinking and rooster helps write down the important parts for hangman to write on his own

- iceman is a sucker for romance novels and picks up random quotes in them to write on a piece of paper for mav to find, read and collect (based off of a hc @justmiilo made with our ocs)

- mav loves animals; he will be at a party and only hang out with the pet there; he will be dragged around by ice or goose to meet people, before departing back to the pet - loves dogs frfr

- ice is a cat person ice has said: “honestly i am more of a cat boy” the rest of the juniors trying not to cackle: youre a cat boy??

- rooster got mav high once and gave him a flipping heart attack (not actually) mav: bradley is this how im supposed to be feeling i dont know if ive hit right rooster: chill man just relax, youre gonna give yourself a heart attack mav, now really panicking: im gonna have a heart attack???? rooster: no thats not what i- mav: UN-HIGH ME RIGHT NOW BRADLEY PLEA-

- Mav is banned from most public spaces especially train stations. very specific, but he’s made it a thing that he has to get banned from as many stations as possible

- ice and mav cuddling includes mav squaring up to be the big spoon but then melting in ice’s arms when he gets to be little spoon

- mav loves captain jack harkness from doctor who/ torchwood

- hangman complains about when he kisses rooster, his moustache gets in the way, but secretly, he doesnt mind it

- ice took mav to a wine couple art class (based off of the idea that ice can draw from my other hcs) and mav drank the wine while ice did the art

- mav helped bob get out of his comfort zone, to start not wearing a shirt around the beach (based off of the trans!mav and trans!bob hcs) so now they go visit the beach together sometimes to help grow each others confidence (like if mav needs anymore). theyve both had top surgery so

- goose has had a soccer phase, and would make the crew go into teams of two after volleyball to kick the ball around. he loved playing attack, so he could be in the front seat of the action for once.

- mav joined in, but was soon told to just stay in his teams box, because he would run all the way across the field to tackle the ball off of someone yes, soccer doesn’t allow tackling, but mav never got the message in his head, so they just added it to their games. mav then proceeded to become the most tackled person there.

- slider and ice are the biggest supporters of one anothers careers; they see each other like brothers so much it is crazy.

- mav and slider ride their bikes together (slider has a harley)

- ice usually goes out collecting either a drunk slider or a drunk mav off the side of the road

- THIS IS A POPULAR ONE BUT HC THAT ICE RARELY EVER GETS SICK, SO WHEN HE DOES IT TAKES EVERYONE BY SURPRISE - MAV ALSO GETS SICK OFTEN, BUT ITS NEVER THAT BIG. WHEN ITS MORE SERIOUS, EVERYONE IS ONTO HIM TO TRY LOOKING AFTER HIMSELF

- mav teaches the team MA fighting. he dared cyclone to go into a match with him; ends up cyclone is a secret MA fighting genius and mav got his ass beat. the whole team watched.

- cyclone and mav are close from just having to deal with each other. mav giving cyclone headaches, while cyclone gives mavs lectures brought them together. they share a beer here and there at a local bar when they can

- mav hates the city. like, really hates it. over stimulates from it hard.

- mav has ocd; those instrusive thoughts can sometimes be hard for him to control, which can sometimes explain why he does some erratic moves. he never got diagnosed about it till later in life.

- mav and commitment issues follow him everywhere for everything

- when hangman and rooster are exploring areas to carve their initials into around the base, they find mavs and ices old ones (yes, multiple) hidden behind a few desks

- ice dyes his hair to be bleach blonde; it’s actually a golden blonde but he hates it, so he makes it bleach blonde. mav likes his hair either way, but makes fun of ice when he dyes his hair. ice doesnt take kindly to this one day, mav was asleep and woke up with bleached highlights to his hair from ice. he wore a cap everywhere for months

(Part 4/?)

Angel By the Wing - NINE

Chapter Warnings: allusions to smut ;)

Series Masterlist

After the door shut behind you, Jake sat at his table for a solid three minutes as he tried to parse out what just happened. The skin of his forehead that your lips had touched burned with the lingering reminder of your presence.

You’re always so focused on being the best that you forget about the people around you. I can’t lose you, Jake. I can’t bury you.

The desperation in your voice…he never wanted to hear your voice crack like that ever again. Jake looked around his apartment and swallowed against the sharp, sudden dryness of his throat. Even when you weren’t there, he could see you in his space. The scent of your shampoo on his pillows. The extra toothbrush on the bathroom sink. Your favorite flavor of Oreos residing on the counter.

The air felt suffocating all of a sudden and he needed to get out. He needed to get back to work. How the hell was he supposed to fly like this? His mind was a fucking mess. Jake went through the motions robotically. Put the leftovers away, lock up his house, get in the car, arrive back on base.

Phoenix shot him a disgruntled look as he silently made his way to his chair at the front and sat. Silence didn’t typically follow Hangman, but today it seemed to cling to him. They knew the drill. Mav would say some shit at the front of the room about how they needed to improve and then they would sit their asses around the ready room until it was their turn to fly.

But when they all got up to move to the ready room, Jake did something that surprised the hell out of all of them.

“Rooster,” he coughed out. “Can I talk with you?”

The whole team paused at his request. Even Mav looked thrown, having had to split up their fight that morning. Maverick glanced at Rooster, but the younger man refused to look at him still. He straightened his shoulders, cleared his throat, and nodded.

“This’ll be good,” Bob whispered to Phoenix as they passed. Phoenix was glaring at Hangman in her signature “melt paint off the walls” style. He was really grateful that Sofia didn’t let her wife rip his balls off and embalm them as a warning to anyone who crossed her path.

The two men stood across from each other as the room emptied out. Rooster crossed his arms over his chest and shot him an unimpressed look. The door thudded behind Coyote as he left last and silence descended on the room.

“Well?” Rooster snapped. He bristled like a cat who had their fur pet the wrong way. Jake sucked in a deep breath and for just a brief second, he saw the man before him as though it was the first day they ever met in that training program all those years ago. Bradley Bradshaw with his easygoing grin and bright eyes.

So different from the rage that now lined every part of his body and clouded his stare.

“I’m sorry,” Hangman finally said.

Rooster’s frown slipped into something more like shock. Out of everything, the last thing he was expecting was an apology. “Where the fuck is this coming from? Did you get visited by the ghosts of douchebags past or something?”

“Not exactly.” Jake huffed out a laugh. “More like bartenders of vengeance past.”

Rooster’s face softened at the thought of you and Jake cleared his throat. “I know about you two, by the way.”

“I was under the impression that you didn’t give a shit.” He was back on the defensive, his lips pulled into a thin line and his eyes searching for Hangman to say something against you. But it never came. Not the poison-laced barb he was expecting or the snide remark. Instead, Hangman looked as though he deflated. The blond sagged back against the desk behind him and he shrugged.

“I don’t give a shit. She can sleep with who she wants, that’s our agreement.”

Rooster considered him carefully. “So she told you to come apologize?”

“No. She just made me realize some things.” Hangman paused and then collected himself. “I’m glad it’s you, y’know? If it had been Fanboy or Payback, I’d probably hit the fucking roof, but I know you. I know that you’ll take good care of her.”

“Why is this starting to sound like you’re giving up?”

Hangman shrugged. “You’re a good man, Bradshaw. You can give her the life she deserves and all that. You can give her more than a few orgasms and emotional unavailability.”

Your words flit across his mind once again. You can really be a selfish dick, Jake. He was. He was so selfish. He had been keeping you in his bed with the idea that one day, he could just let you go. But he can’t.

Knowing that Bradley fucking Bradshaw of all people had wormed a place into your life somehow eased the sting. Because Jake wasn’t the two story house with a white picket fence and a dog kind of guy. He was known as the fuck them and then dump them. The use them and lose them. Girls and guys worked out their frustration or whatever on his dick and then left before breakfast.

Bradshaw seemed like the perfect guy. The bring you breakfast in bed kind of guy. The toddler on the hip kind of guy. The guy who wasn’t screwed up in the head and doomed to fail every relationship he has by being a selfish dick.

And after that one drunken night he and Rooster shared all those years ago in the barracks, hands wrapped around cocks and sloppy kisses exchanged, Jake knew for a fact that he was a generous lover.

“You’re dumb as fuck,” Rooster declared. He opened his mouth to continue, but the door opening drew their attention away from their conversation. Harvard stood awkwardly in the doorway and he jerked his thumb over his shoulder.

“You two are up soon,” he explained. “Mav told me to come get you.”

“Thanks,” Rooster said. He waited until Hangman walked past him before he fell in step with the blond. “We’re not done with this, by the way.”

“I said I was sorry.”

“That’s not what I was talking about and you know it.”
