#Mrs. Shy

Say something good about this couple!

[kindheart525]

One cold winter’s night, the Shy family was gathered to enjoy their Hanukkah festivities, feasting on latkes and sufganiyot under the menorah’s warm glow. It was as joyful a time as ever, all celebrating in the (mostly) quiet way their family did.

Except for the youngest child Rosemary, who lay curled up in her grandparents’ armchair with chocolate on her face and an ache in her belly.

“Oh dear!” Her Bubbe, Posey Petals, exclaimed in a whisper. “Has someone had too much chocolate gelt? Honey, did we give her too many?”

She whispered to her husband in an even more hushed voice, but Rosemary could still hear her as she struggled to sit up.

“No! No, it wasn’t too many! I…I want more!”

Even she knew she didn’t really want more, but part of her feared that Bubbe and Zadye would give her less candy next time if they knew what too much had done to her tonight. Plus, Sandpiper and Uncle Zephyr and all the others were in the other room and she didn’t want them to think she was weak if they saw her in this state.

“Sorry Rosie, it looks like we’re out!”

Her Zadye, Gentle Nimbus, looked through the empty bag that once stored all their candy. The children weren’t greedy with it. No, they had no reason to be when they had ponies to spoil them rotten and give them more than they could ever ask for, like grandparents do.

“Hmm…I have an idea, then!” Posey lit up. “I’ll only be one moment.”

As his wife went into the kitchen, Nimbus unfolded their special Hanukkah throw blanket from the couch and brought it to Rosemary. She was surrounded by wrappers from her chocolate gelt, but significantly fewer than what she was given.

“Oh my, did you eat them with the wrappers on?”

Rosemary blushed in embarrassment.

“They were just so shiny! It looked as yummy as the chocolate!”

While some grandparents might respond with a warning about such behavior making the stomach ache worse, Nimbus wouldn’t have dreamed of putting even the tiniest dent in his grandbaby’s enthusiasm. Plus, he had read that dragons liked to eat gems, so maybe other shiny things also fell in that category.

“I’m back, dear, I hope I wasn’t too long.”

A whisper sounded behind her as her Bubbe appeared, flying with a bowl of hot matzah soup in her hooves.

“My little dragon has had a nice, big hoard of chocolate tonight. Now maybe she should try hoarding matzah balls instead!”

Rosemary accepted the bowl eagerly, not even bothering to blow on it before she started eating. Her insides were built for the heat; in fact, it felt good. Better than she thought she’d be able to feel for the rest of the night.

It wasn’t just the soup, but the loving attention of her grandparents as her Zadye tucked her in with the soft blanket and her Bubbe helped her eat as much as she needed. 

“Doesn’t that feel better?”

Her Zadye asked once she was almost done with her bowl.

“I can get you some more, if you want it,” her Bubbe offered.

Rosemary smiled at them, her stomach ache gone and now replaced with a warm, sleepy feeling that covered her just like the blanket. It overpowered any craving for soup she might have had left as she yawned.

“Can I have some tomorrow?”

Her grandparents smiled at her like “yes” was the only option there could be.

“Of course, dear. It’ll be right here waiting for you.”

KATO SHIHO as AYAKA and MORI KANNA as HIROKO episode 1 of AYAKA IS IN LOVE WITH HIROKO

[thegabberwocky]

Well

[lunareel]

So for the bodyguard au wanted to make alternate designs for power ups based on incorporating them with shy guy masks and shy guy variants. Listen I will take any opportunity to make outfits for characters it is just so much fun!

Adding sketches on both how the mask works along with an example of a transformation sequence below the “keep reading” to avoid this post getting super long. Quick edit before I forget I do plan on an alternate cat (super bell) power up that leans more into the cat aesthetic. I just wanted to design a more stealth/field outfit for him. I also have drafts for a knight design for the metal power up! Those are coming later though.

So I wanted to work on the setup that power ups aren’t readily accessible in the Darklands (with the exception of fire flowers and maybe boo shrooms). To counter this I’m going with the concept of fusing power ups with masks so they can be used multiple times (think Majora’s mask). 

Currently working with the idea of while this does make the power up a bit weaker, as long as the mask isn’t broken or removed from the user the power up will stay in effect.

Also on how shy guy masks work with different faces this just goes with my headcanon that there are different things under each shy guy’s mask. Varying from some shy guys just having a void that stares back to horrifying appendages and the masks just cover these so they can all blend in together. 

The transformation sequence wouldn’t happen every time a mask would be used, but I will never pass an opportunity to draw Luigi break dancing. (Btw the reference for this sequence was Deboshir’s dance when he was going off against Zip Rock, break dancing competitions are super cool and I highly recommend watching them). Anyhow this is super rough, but I hope it gets the general idea across.

Vegan Pizza

Just a fic I wrote to practice my fluff writing! edit: I’m so happy so many people enjoyed it!

Steven Grant x gn!shy!reader || masterlist ||

summary: (I gotta practice fluff writing) As Steven makes his way back to his flat after being stood up, he runs into his neighbor who helps him find comfort in a warm meal.

content: fluff, making out, awkwardness (but like in an endearing way? I hope)

word count: 1,218

Steven Grant naturally thought bad luck was simply drawn to him. However, the day he landed a date with his co-worker, Dylan, he thought his luck has finally turned around.

Until she didn’t show up.

Steven was a good neighbor. Always greeting you with a smile or a quick “Good morning.” No matter how late he was for work. Now that you were thinking about it, he was kind of cute.

Alright fine, you were enamored.

His big brown eyes, his tooth aching smile, and it didn’t matter how loose fitting his clothes were you could see the traces of muscle through his wide necked shirts. But looks didn’t matter anyways. It was simply being himself that drew you in.

You found yourself returning home later than usual from a busy day at work, and just as you’re about to enter the door to your flat you hear the steps of someone heading up the stairs.

“Bloody chocolates.” Steven mumbled as he slumped up the steps to his floor.

You didn’t mean to be eavesdropping, but earlier that week you had heard him bragging to another neighbor about a date he landed. You’d be lying to yourself if you didn’t say you were the slightest bit jealous, but Steven had a love life too and it wasn’t like he’d wait forever for you to get over your worries and ask him out.

You turned to Steven with a smile. “Hey Steven! How was your date?”

Steven doesn’t recall ever mentioning it to you, but then again he doesn’t remember much now days between his life and his dreams.

“Oh, hi. Yeah…it didn’t go well. She stood me up.” He mumbled as he rubbed the back of his neck.

Your heart twinged with excitement, but was quickly replaced with sympathy at his downcast expression. “Oh, I’m sorry to hear that Steven.”

“All I wanted was a bloody dinner with someone to spend time with.” He sighs. “Not get stood up.”

The words slip from your mouth before you can even go over them in your head.

“Wellifyou’restillhungrymaybeyou’dwanttocomeoverandhavesomethingtoeat…” you realize how fast you’re speaking and are able to slow your brain down. “I’m making a pizza..? It’s vegan.”

The first time Steven had mentioned he was vegan you immediately bought a vegan pizza, that way when you did have the excuse to ask him on a date you’d be prepared. Apparently now was that time.

His face lights up slightly at the mention of a meal. “That sounds great! Yeah…I’d like that.” He smiles.

He follows you into your flat and sits down while you take out the frozen pizza.

“I’m surprised you actually had something vegan. Most people think vegan food tastes strange.”

You laughed. “Not me.”

That was a lie. You made one a while back and weren’t entirely fond of it, but if this ended well you’d be happy to eat as many vegan pizzas if it meant you’d get to have more times like this one.

“I remember you mentioned you being vegan a while back so I thought I’d buy it.” You immediately winced at your words. You don’t know how long back he had mentioned this, but you think it was pretty far back. He was definitely gonna think you were weird for remembering something as minuscule as that.

“Yeah, that’s right, I… I am. You remember that?” He asked clearly shocked.

Shit. He did think you were weird.

“Thanks, I… no one really takes the time to listen… or care.”

You’re lucky your turned away from him as you load the pizza in the oven so he won’t see your blush.

“It’s no biggie.” You smile.

The rest of the night you chat between each other. Steven’s once dismal night took a flip from simply spending time with someone as lovely as you. When the pizza is ready, the both of you eat your pizza happily.

“This is good. I still can’t believe you remembered I was vegan.” He smiles.

“It’s really not that big of a deal.” Your face is definitely visibly red.

“It’s big to me. No one really remembers something like that about me.” He chuckles as he looks up at you with his big eyes.

You could’ve kissed him right there with the way he was looking at you. His mouth full of pizza making his cheeks puff out in such an adorable way.

“Bloody hell. must sound desperate, don’t I?” He looks off embarrassed. This time he’s the one blushing.

“No, no ‘course not.” You smile with a giggle.

He flushed again slightly before speaking out.

“You’re… you’re very pretty.” His voice trails off as he looks down at his plate embarrassed.

Your jaw practically falls off. “What?”

“You are very pretty.” His eyes glance up at you before staring locked on your eyes. “Really… beautiful.” His voice trails off.

“Did I say that out loud?” He picks his head up in a panic, his face turning beet red.

You stand up quickly. “I, uh… bathroom-“ You sprint in the direction of your bathroom before shutting the door.

You lean yourself against the wall, your beating so fast you think it might fly out of your chest. You eventually realize you just left him alone and put yourself in an even more awkward situation, so you decide to open the door.

You jump back in surprise and see Steven standing there awkwardly.

“I… er,” he fiddles with his hands. “Did I say something wrong? I- I mean you really are beautiful, and oh bollocks, I ruined it didn’t I.” He stammers out quickly.

You quickly cover his mouth with your hands in order to shut him up.

“Steven, stop it. Stop that.”

His eyes widened when you covered his mouth, a bit shocked.

“What— did I say something wrong?” He asked, his voice muffled.

“No- no of course not.” You squeeze your eyes shut to overwhelmed.

“God, if you keep saying stuff like that I won’t be able to stop myself from kissing you and I like you way too much for me to ruin it.”

He was utterly gobsmacked, his eyes wide as you spoke.

Finally, he managed to respond.

“Are—”

He lifts your hands from his mouth.

“Are you saying you… want to kiss me right now?”

You quickly cover your face.

"And it's such terrible timing too! I- I mean your date just stood you up!" You stammer out.

"I don't care if you kiss me right now. I— uh, I wouldn’t mind…" He said, almost breathless. "This— we, I…"

He couldn't find words— so instead he showed it.

His lips pressed against yours softly, just enough so I’d you were uncomfortable you had the space to pull away, but there was no way you were going to now.

A soft whimper left his lips as you pressed yourself further into him. He slid his hands around your waist, until he eventually pulled back to let the two of you breath.

“That was good.” Is all he manages. “That was very good.”

You can’t help but giggle and eventually he can’t either. He laughs alongside you, arms still entangled in eachother.

“…Could I take you on a date. A real one. No getting stood up?” His eyes sparkling with hope.

“Yeah, that would be nice.”

"I can't wait for you to figure out [troy's] real name and intentions" could mean so many fucking things too this is going to drive me insane. like he could be a robot he could've taken the place of The Real troy lougferd he could be posing as a son that mr lougferd never actually had his first name might just not be troy. like bizly what do you mean REAL NAME and REAL INTENTIONS what the fuck. he's a sneaky bastard doing sneaky bastard shit.

Does Luigi still get scared by ghosts? (or scared in general?)

Oh 100%, both on being scared by ghosts and scared in general. You know that joke with the owl where the handler goes "Look how calm she is" only to reveal the owl looks like it's panicking internally. He's like that.

Also a little bonus (not my best work, but I enjoyed drawing it)

^Not the finished version of this comic. I lost the finished version. Which seems to have happened more often than not with comics specifically.

Also, I often used their Chinese names, but I guess for this comic I had decided not to...?
