introducing my Impsona, Lumi…who ends up under the unfortunate hospitality of Rolando at the One Star Wonder 👀💖 backstory below!!

Lumi the Imp has always struggled to hold down a job, and has worked across the Rings in every role you can imagine. unfortunately they're not the brightest star in the sky, and are often taken advantage of because of their unusually trusting nature. eventually, Lumi ends up in the employ of a notoriously shady demon, whose dealings in the human world are considered unethical even by Hell's standards 😱

oblivious to the scheming of their boss, Lumi departs on an ill-fated trip to Earth which ends in the massacre of their fellow employees. the demon concocted an elaborate scam wherein he rigged a set of faulty goods being transported by the imps to explode, thereby killing the imps, and allowing him to collect the insurance money. however, Lumi (who had wandered away from the delivery truck) was the only survivor of the explosion, and they emerged lucky: with just a set of curious-shaped scars across their face 💔

trapped without a money, food, or a way back to Hell, Lumi turns their sights to the only place they recognise: a local run-down hotel known as the One Star Wonder. Lumi remembers delivering goods to this hotel before, and recalls the owner Rolando to be a generous (if creepy) human who was always willing to accommodate his guests. they have no idea of the true demon which lurks beneath the disguise 👀

tantalised by Lumi's seeming innocence and the slow boil of repressed trauma, Rolando offers Lumi safety and shelter at the hotel, on the condition that they earn their keep as his assistant. over time, Rolando embarks on a personal quest to corrupt Lumi, and manipulates them into tormenting the humans who fall into his clutches... ...whilst perhaps growing a touch too fond of the silly little imp 😉

i havent seen this artist in YEARRSSSSSS WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON MY TWITTER TIMELINE😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

just saw maybe the most insane post i’ve ever seen in my fucking life i dont even know how to react 😭

[blkkizzat]

KALIIIIIII !!!! tell me ab ur self ships 😋

Vegas!!! Omigosh aaahhh! No one ever asks me about my selfships! ty pookies! So we got:

Chojili [CHO-JI-LEE] (Choso x Toji x Me polyship): ‘Daddy & Baby’ fic I wrote was 100% selfship that I just made x reader. I know this is such an odd pairing to have together in a polyship but even though it seems crazy it fits well like a puzzle.

We each are getting something out of it/compensating for something the other is missing.

Toji after his wife died is still pretty broken years later so while he does want love, he can’t articulate that well and doesn’t like the pressure of a monogamous relationship. He also can’t really have a stable one with his line of work. With Choso in the mix he doesn’t feel as bad as being emotionally unavailable or gone for periods of time because Choso more than over compensates with displays of affection. Megumi (who is in high school in this timeline) thinks we are actually helping his dad slowly be less of a degenerate lmfao.

Choso in turn feels less guilt for not being as competent navigating the world living as a human. He wants to provide but he can't have a normal job, etc feels bad he relies on me so much when he doesn’t know how to do something. With Toji in the picture he doesn't have to do as much now cause I’ll just nag Toji to do it LOL! They’re both so opposite that neither one really gets jealous of the other (although Toji loves to tease/bully Choso for being a 'pussy whipped emo boy'). 

As for me? Well I get the best of both worlds as I have a strong urge to be dominated by daddy as much as I want to be mommy and bby gyal a man until he cries 💕

Next....

Kunali [KU-NA-LEE] (Sukuna x Me): So I wrote about this in the True Form Sukuna Drabble based off request actually haha. The request was just for riding Sukuna’s stomach but I added in a little sprinkle of my own (toxic) selfship. The tea is I end up being some modern concubine to Sukuna after making a binding vow that I’d do whatever he wanted if he spared Gojo who is my fiance (in my Canon-AU he didn’t get marked down to 50% off by that world splitting cleave, infinity was just broken lol). So it's definitely an enemies to lovers scenario, minor stockholm syndrome and very slow burn but I cannot tell you how much this situation ate at my brain UP. I would have actually wrote a larger fic about it but it's so angsty and slow burn in be like 10+ chapters and my head would explode lol. 

I do have a far healthier selfship of me and Sukuna that I wrote about in the halloween fluff fic I did (I love that Canon-AU of mine cause nobody dies lmfao. Sukuna is just kind of a permanent antagonist lol). I know a lot of TF!Sukuna selfships are heian era or non-canon AU but I think it would be super funny to be with him as he adjusts to the modern world.

Other than that I have far less developed ones I haven’t really worked out yet lol. I do have a couple of crack selfships lmfao one where me and Toji (and eventually Choso) live with about 3 dozen raccoons that he has trained to do his bidding (based off this tiktok) that i developed with @ryomens-vixen and @littlemochabunni lol if you ever hear us talking about raccoons its probably related to that LOL!

ahh i rambled too much haha sry!

[self-insert-hell]

Thoughts of an aroace shipper and selfshipper:

[Putting this here on this blog as it mentions self shipping.]

As someone who’s aroace but also comfortable with attraction when it comes to fiction, I honestly feel confused about the whole shipping discourse when it comes to any aroace character that’s on the spectrum. Because, personally, as an aroace, I don’t mind people shipping aroace characters for fun, as long as they’re respectful of their canon identity. Plus, when it comes to fan creations and such, it’s not canon in the first place. At the same time, I understand the frustration with people who don’t want aroace characters to be shipped and feel like it’s erasing aroace spectrum rep. When it comes to the whole “erasing rep” part, it gets muddy and complicated when you’re referring to the whole spectrum.

Although, I do have one thing I’d like to discuss about the whole representation part. When it comes to fandom, people ignore all types of identities and ship what they want. Again, I’m only cool with it as long as the individual isn’t acting like it’s canon canon. That and it’s up to the creator and what they feel comfortable with. If they don’t want their character to be shipped, cool. If they don’t mind their character being shipped, cool.

Then things get a bit more nuanced and somewhat “confusing.” At the same time, shipping characters can help someone figure their own identity. I would’ve never understand that I experience queerplatonic attraction if it weren’t for shipping. I often (unintentionally) put myself in stereotypical black and white boxes. I mean, I thought I wasn’t aroace because of the one and only time I did feel attraction. Later on, I realized my aroace identity is very complicated but I know for a fact that I’m pretty “far down” the end of the spectrum.

Also, specifically, when it comes to OC x canon ships and self inserts of the sort…personally, do whatever you want. It’s for you right? And you just want to have fun. I repeat, as long as you aren’t acting like your ships are canon and recognize the character’s actual identity, I personally think it’s fine.

While these may be my personal beliefs, I also understand the lack of representation. But again, I feel like most aroace representation is lacking no matter what part of the spectrum you’re on. That and while people are going to do what they want anyways on the internet, at the same time, people also need to be respectful of other people’s characters that they don’t own.

Then you have people who can be aroace and fictsexual. Again, if the creator of a character is comfortable with their character being shipped and the person who’s shipping that character acknowledges the character’s canon identity, I think it’s fine for fictiosexuals to do what they want.

Again, this is my personal opinion and I obviously don’t speak for everyone on the aroace spectrum. I just wanted to talk about this and explore this topic.

Anyways, this isn’t as important but I’ll put my further two cents here.

Take me for example. I selfship with Alastor in 2 ways. When it comes to my OC, canonically my OC is aroace as well, and in a QPR. But I also put Alastor in the romantic category. Why? Because I also enjoy writing my oc in romantic situations and I’m lowkey poking fun at myself. It’s for me and it’s purely because I find it fun and well, funny at the same time. Also, I put a tag for it if anyone doesn’t want to deal with seeing that stuff.

Further more, despite my own confusion when it comes to identifying any emotion I feel (I’m sure neurodivergency has a role in that), I also like exploring a range of emotions in what I create because it’s all fictional. It’s not real.

Furthermore, after finding out about what a QPR is, I finally had the words to correctly convey and label my self ships into.

Overall, it also can be cathartic. What if someone is cupioromantic and one way they cope is with shipping/selfshipping? Besides the self shipping, fans like to project parts of themselves onto characters. (I repeat, the ones who are just having fun but also are respectful) I’ve also seen non-aroace people wanting to explore how to write aroace identities as well. As long as they do the research and are respectful, go ahead! If you’re writing an aroace character for the first time, you’re not going to be perfect and that’s okay. Now, obviously, I’m not saying it’s okay to write harmful stereotypes of aroace people.

Shipping can be useful in exposing new identities that some people may not know have/have enough knowledge on. It can also broaden one’s perspective as some people may not understand that being aroace is a spectrum, can fluctuate, and isn’t all black and white.

But yeah. I’d like to hear your thoughts on the matter.

This ain’t for you proshippers.

[clippy]

in wake of some of my small world stuff getting traction on all my socials, I wanna put this stuff out there:

"it's a small world" is my special interest, along with the Disney parks (especially Disneyland) as a whole. I genuinely adore the ride and don't like people coming up to me and telling me they find the ride creepy or whatever; like Yes talk to me about it, but No, don't only have the conversation be about how you think it's "sooo scary lol"

^ that being said I know way too much about it and I apologize in advance if i come off as mansplain-y when I talk about the history of it 😭 since I'm a blunt, autistic man, I know it can come off Wrong, but just know it's never my intention. I learn new stuff about it all the time so I don't know everything and fully admit to that!

I am very defensive of my objecthead versions of the small world clocks. I have very specific headcanons for them and they're my comfort characters, so I ask that you respect that if you want to "get into" my OCs based around these funny clocks

^ going off that, I refer to all my designs under the moniker of "Clockboy," so don't try to like... Correct me on their names. (Glockenspiel is not any version's actual canon name he was referred to that ONCE, on ONE piece of merch, and has only been referred to as the clock/clock face/clock tower since then -- the Disney wiki is wrong about this and it drives me up the wall when people insist this is his name; I don't care what you call your own characterizations but don't call mine that. Thanks)

I am objectum for the IRL version of him in Disneyland... I don't talk about it a ton on main (I mostly just talk about my selfship with his objecthead version) but it is something that is very important to me and that I view as a genuine relationship. Please also respect that & my boundaries surrounding that if I need to enforce them

anyway that's all. I appreciate anyone reading this and for y'all's understanding.

i have love to share muvva

@drivemysoul my cherished snk swiftie pal. it was so delightful to watch u liveblog it truly unspoiled since i'm also quite the latecomer too and i feel very Affirmed in my own reading and feelings!! they are so damn smart and funny and full of love and deserve the world. i also feel like we're in a weird exchange program every time they quietly like my nick cave posts as a real life australian meanwhile taylor swift is practically my neighbor

@felineverdure my doppelwife down to name and possibly ethnicity whose art i LOVE (big shout out to skin tones and melinated jean, impeccable hair and noses and jawlines, contributing to the tumbleweeds of the hitchannie tag), we have the same taste in old men, responsible for More More Chefs AU. if i get my shit together for RJW halloween the bit of flojean is for her, that's how powerful kat is. every day i'm more alarmed by how hard our interests overlap (asoiaf, buzzfeed unsolved, (g)i-dle)

@avellanaslesbianas the backbone of kenuri micronation who tolerates my depravity. we've both projected loser 80s rock musicians who've aged into conservatism (morissey and cave) onto this man. her art can make me chuckle til the cows come home AND fall to my knees. besides snk i feel like a bit of a minority in this corner of tumblr as someone whose weab lifetime has mostly been in (mahou) shoujo and josei and yuri so avellana is also my bud on that front

@daryascurse OH our pedantic ass philosophical speculation about selfshipping into AoT while not white!! i feel very giddy when darya asks about katken and i count her as another shoujo comrade, furuba and bssm especially. darya also has Quite juicy music taste and vibes i just imprinted on immediately idk!!!

@strawberrystepmom my pisces brother let's run an astrology consultating business out of a houseboat

@myrtlesandasphodels is very precious for our ASOIAF shared wavelength that i *think* translates to having good robust thoughts on the women of snk. i am neglecting our girl annie so much lately but rest assured she is not forgotten. every donut i eat brings me back to carly stratmann

i will always count @oxygenbefore1775 and my NIECE @fromriches-tosin as my first friends in this fandom because i entered quite truly like, a month before RJW 2024, and i admire their writing so hard. they inspire most to keep up canon x canon writing!! i'm so behind on just reading let alone writing fanfiction but their shit is top of my damn queue. i live for all of mae's art but especially mikasa my god

@pisspope is the reason i selfship to begin with you damn witch (gn) and i do think we met on the streets of ********* five years ago and fractured the universe. i love our kink venn diagram and holding down this side of the pond together. i scroll up to our entirely spoilered boot discussion to laugh periodically. i think we will meet physically and that's a threat

@marleysfinest just that This is ur milestone event and the liveliness of your inbox every damn day shows you have a big ol heart and are so good at gathering people, it's so very moon-jupiter trine of you

MORE LOVE IN THE WORLD!!!!!!! Kat ily behind words kiss kiss mwah mwah

spread the love for muvva’s feel good 500!

[enter-the-phantom]

Some time ago you asked me about my angel Gabriel and I am here to return the favor, PLEASE tell me about your gabriel when you have a moment 👀

- @starshine-selfships

Can’t believe I am just getting to this, I am the worst.

YES LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY AWFUL BEAUTIFUL BOY!!

This is my Gabe and he makes me feral and insane. ❤️❤️❤️

How do I begin to describe Gabriel. He’s crazy smart and just plain crazy and a tiny short king who is also terrifyingly strong and powerful. He has no off switch, never shuts up, runs off of sugar and spite, has the world’s cutest dimples and the most beautiful golden eyes and is just annoying and hot and wonderful.

This sexy bastard is one of the most powerful and ancient archangels and was one of the first fallen angels, he left/was kicked out because he refused to join the infighting and corruption in his family. He was tired of watching his siblings tear each other apart so he ran off to take the place of one of the pagan gods (Loki, if you can believe it) and ended up with his powers—sort of a pseudo angel/Trickster God hybrid. He’s a chaotic neutral silly boi who likes to wreak havoc by killing nasty people in creative ways and looks really hot doing it.

In my canon, he’s also my guardian angel and not super happy about it at first but he catches feelings and it’s all very bittersweet bc he knows I love his brother and he wants me and Cas to be happy so he’s willing to step back and let us be together, even though it tears him apart inside. Instead he just follows me around acting vaguely annoying.

In my happy little headspace though we’re madly in love and all over each other constantly and it’s very gross. We are the OG chaos couple, we enable each other’s insanity and annoy everyone but it’s okay bc we love each other so so much ❤️

What’s funny and stupid is that he was a platonic f/o for a long ass time but I was not platonic about him at all and just didn’t realise it and it was cringe and pathetic. We actually meet him before we meet Cas, and from the moment he showed up I was like “that guy.” Don’t learn his name until like season 4 but every time he showed up I’m like “oh my god it’s my fave it’s the trickster he’s back I hope he’s in every episode ever he’s great omg” and then I learned he was an angel and not only that he’s this universe’s Loki and I lost my shit and made him a platonic right then and there but also couldn’t shut up about how cool he was (srsly look at my Gabe tag, it’s pathetic 💔) and eventually had to face facts and felt stupid. Now we kiss a lot.

Anyway he’s hot and stupid and perfect and he can be so charismatic and flirty or so gentle and sweet and he is everything and I love him and I want to cry.

Also here’s a fic about our first meeting if anyone is interested 👉🏻👈🏻

[harmonysanreads]

Hello! I'm sending this to my favorite writers to enable you to brag about your own writings! (But don't feel pressured to reply and take your time!) :D

Pick one fic you wrote and would recommend to us readers for each of these genres:

Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, Hurt/No Comfort, AU (any AUs!), Selfship (If you selfship!), [Insert a genre you've written but is not in the list].

Have fun, and just a reminder to always be proud of what you created!! You're amazing!! We love you!!! 💗

Extra // Feel free to ramble on why the fic is your favorite, whatever thinking process you have when you wrote it, which part(s) are your favorite, etc!!

Aaaaaa you are too sweet nonnie <333 I'm more than honored to be one of your favorite writers (╥ ᴗ ╥) Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity!

Most of the stuff I write is very lighthearted, with many intentional-ambiguous bits mixed in.

With that in mind, if I had to pick a fic that is pure fluff, it'd be Idée Fixe [Yandere(?)Lyney x Reader]. My initial idea was a bit darker but somehow it spiralled into unabashed fluff. I still do think it can be seen as the prelude to a more Yandere-esque Lyney. Idée Fixe was written before Fontaine release, so, characterization wise it only focuses on the whimsical exterior of Lyney. But I'm quite certain this one is capable of making any reader feel warm :>

I'm not the most enthusiastic about angst (especially hurt/no comfort), unless I'm in a certain mood. Because to be completely honest, I run this blog to escape the angst of real life to begin with lol. But, I think Jeux de Vagues [Yandere!Neuvillette x Reader] can count as a somewhat angst fic I've written — primarily because of Neuvillette and Reader's ‘fate’. I like to say it's the culmination of all the pre-release and after-release studies I'd done on his character with my anons. There's a separate trivia post for this fic as well!

I have two notable AUs to speak of, both of which have received love far beyond my expectation. First is the canon divergent Vampire!Alhaitham AU, wherein I suffered from about three months of brainrot till I couldn't stand it anymore and wrote it down. It took me a good chunk of discussions to find the footing for his characterization here. Funny thing is that 80% of the warnings listed are all in one concept discussion post, the rest is just Alhaitham being a dork lol. Second is the Sumeru Love Hexagon AU. Roots of creation very self-indulgent, but the concept is firmer from the beginning on this one :>

I do selfship (and I think it should be normalized more) but I haven't really posted something that explicitly conveys it. Every idea that I personally put on the table of your dash is guaranteed to be self-indulgent, just that it's packaged in such a way that it loses the 'self' of the shipping — if that makes any sense lol

Hmm.. I'm currently lost for genres so I'll just make up one : a fic that made me go ‘do I really want to do this’ multiple times would be Curtain Call [Yandere!Sunday x Reader]. Initially I only planned to write a drabble but since it won a poll, I wanted to do something different. Curtain Call is more of an experimentation with plot twists, so, I was glad to hear the desired feedback on this one ପ(๑•ᴗ•๑)ଓ ♡

Hi. I saw that you like Lust. Not many people I see like Lust. Everyone hates him. It's nice to see someone who also likes him. :) Amazing art!

Hullo ! I love Lust, very much so!! 🥺💙💜💙💜

I understand the hate bc of the content made around him by the OG creator,

But what I do is acknowledge that this is the roots, this is how it started, (also if my memory is right and if im not bullshittin i think it was funny that it started as a joke au where 'everyone is mtt except himself' and now ofc it evolved into an actual au— anyway hope op's doing ok 🙏), take what I like from that AU (ex. lust being Very Sans) and then add a shitton of headcanons on top like it's whipped cream/frosting on a cupcake, maybe w/ some sprinkles, even uwu

That's why he's soft, I love soft Underlust Sans, I contribute to soft Lust content bc he's more than just the multiverse's 'pervert' like smhhh 😤😤😤 where's that post— THIS, look at this 👈👈👈

Also ppl can just. Make headcanons/have their own interpretations lol. (Wait ok well some AU creators might not like?? That??? But since Underlust AU concept technically belongs to the community now.........) Go ham, man, you don't have to religiously follow the canon content if you're uncomfy with it <3

Fandom experience is all about having fun !! Look at me I'm doing selfship art bc that makes me happy ! 💜💙 (I may be cringe... but i am free 😎 /ref)

[ancientgreekyuri]

My actual full convoluted feelings re: sharing are this:

when it comes to Theseus and Asterius, I've only ever encountered 2 other people who Also shipped with them. One of them seems to have deleted their blog and the other was very casual about them (had other F/Os they were more into) so it's not something I worry too much about re: other shippers. However I am an insane woman and Very particular with my interpretation of Theseus and Asterius as people And their relationship so it feels like it's for the best to just say No here. Lest I become insane one day

I am the world's biggest hater of Theseus and Asterius' second-most popular canon x canon ships (in this case, theseus/zag.reus and asterius/hyp.nos). Those two ships make me wildly uncomfortable. However... I love some specific rarepairs 💖 Theseus/Asterius shipped with Achiles/Patroclus very funny to me but no one depicts it in the way I like (which is comedy focused!! the only times I've seen it it's always about like Theseus getting pwned or something. Why not the inherent comedy of Pat getting really, really mad about having a crush on Theseus). I also like Theseus/Alecto and (my evil rarepair that I made up for ME) Theseus/Nyx. sorry. I actually don't have any other Asterius ships bc my demisexuality HC for him overrides anything else 😭 my love for diathesterius is bigger than my affection for any of these of course

I'm okay with people saying horny/vulgar things under my art of Theseus or Asterius as long as it's funny. if it's Not funny then I'm not a fan. I admittedly Do get a little fussy seeing other people casually calling Asterius their husband (it's always with Asterius) but it's not something that's block-worthy to me

When it comes to AZ I don't like Any canon x canon ship with him. Not that there's a lot of these but they exist and I'm not a fan personally ! This has less to do with selfshipping and more to do with me being very, Very picky with canon x canon ships though.

I've only encountered 2 (maybe 3?) other ppl who selfship with him....... one of them sometimes reblogs the art of him I post to my main! I'm not exactly comfortable sharing him with other selfshippers BUT. Because AZ is such an unpopular character and his few fans are desperate for art of him ( know because I'm desperate for art of him too 😭) I don't block about it.

AZ is another chara where the discomfort with sharing comes from the fact that I'm very particular about my interpretation of him. I would Never go up to someone and call their interpretation completely wrong (especially for a character who only has like 4 or 5 scenes in the actual game), but I've seen some people write him as cruel/malicious in a way I dislike 😭 i think he is capable of being cruel at times, but it's less like... A Conscious Effort to be Cruel and more of a side-affect of his selfishness. Also I think I'm the only person in the world who has diagnosed him as a she/him agender lesbian

Hmm I sure do get attached to characters who struggle with selfishness don't I. ignore that.

[teddybeartoji]

omg no wait bc you and higu would be so cute i actually wanna hear all about it. i think he would benefit from a little silly and you certainly could fulfill that role!!! im actually obsessed..... pls share any thoughts you have 🤲

OKOKOK SO WE ALL HAVE TO SAY A BIG THANK U TO MY FRIEND ARI @twentyfivemiceinatrenchcoat BC THEY KIND OF PUSHED ME INTO THAT😭😭😭 i think we were just talking about who of the new character i'd love and then they said that higu would definitely be one of the faves and well.. i am not disagreeing at all he seems so fucking funny and just an absolute sweetheart!!!!!!!!!!!!!! soooo my friend brought up the idea of me being like an intern at his law firm and............................ i folded immediately what can i say. (btw this got so long. uhm. prepare yourself?)

so imagine mickey the errand boy and higu the lawyer man:33 it all starts out super fucking slow btw (every single one of my ships is a slowburn what the fuck anyway). i am very excited to be there,, i think this sort of a job is very perfect for me aaand i think he'd find my enthusiasm very.. interesting lmao in a good way!!!! bc yk who the fuck is excited abt printing out papers and shit??!!! mee:3333

he always tells me that i can go home (cough that i can go home on time.. cough) but i refuse!!!!!!! how am i gonna leave him here all alone smhhh so i always help him finish everything he needs to get done (or at least everything i can help with yk?) aand then we go to this burger place that's just like around the corner to finally eat something and aaah idk it just feels very good with him. like very casual. the first like ten to twenty minutes are usually spent in silence just bc we're both tired and just wanna gulp down our food,, but when we're done with those.. we're talking abt the silliest stuff!!!!!!!!!! he tells me abt his cats. i know he has them ok. canon. in my head. he has two. their names are corkscrew and matilda. (????????????????)( don't ask) he tells me abt how they seems to like to tussle a lot and it makes him a bit nervous bc what if they don't get along but then they're cuddling a minute later and wheww it's all good. i love listening to him ramble btw. it's not like he does that all too often, but when he's tired he kind of spitballs a bit more and i think it's very endearing:333

and then he ofc apologizes for said ramble while tugging on his tie to loosen it up a little. he's so hot. anyway. and then he almost BEGSSS for me to talk to him too. about anything. it's very hard to feel insecure about talking too much with him bc he literally keeps telling me that he loves listening to me....................... perce what if i die

i'm making this other thing ari talked abt canon too bc oh my god their brain is huge. sooo one day. higu is late to work. and he's never late??????? had me thinking that he literally fucking dies or smth yk??? like he wouldn't answer his phone and it was just pouring outside omfg i was so fucking worried. pacing around the office, just calling him again and again and again. and then the door opens and there he is!!!!!!!!!!! COMPLETELY DRENCHEDDDDD like from head to toe, holding his coat weirdly of over his head and body idk he looked so silly (and cute). he apologized to some of the other workers before meeting my gaze and hurrying over and before i could even ask anything,, he opens his coat aND CAT!!!!!!!!!! HE HAD A FUCKING KITTEN???????? IN HIS HANDS?????????????????????????????????? HELLO???????????????????????????????? SIR????????????????????????

and then he literally just handed me the little critter asking whether i could look after it while he's working?????????????????? i was just so baffled bc wHAT. but i obviously took that task very seriously. i tried to clean up the kitty and made him like a make-shift bed from my own hoodie. and then after he got himself a cup of coffee (btw he spent almost no time on drying himself oh my god he's a bit of a loser isn't he...)(he has my heart<3) aaaaaand when he finally sat down behind his desk and looked through the glass wall...

and he just saw me holding the bundled up little kitty to my face while i just stare at it. HE WAS JUST SO CUTE OK I NEEDED TO JUST LOOK AT IT FOR SOME TIME I LOVE CATS OK!!!!!!!!!! that made him smile though. bc he loves cats too:333 btw we just send each other cat pics too. like very randomly. he's just a room away and he's sending them to me instead of just.. idk coming over to my table to show them to me in person??? he's a workaholic ok. ahgsahgshasga i love himmmm

OKOK ANYWAY THIS IS LIKE SO MUCH INFO I'M SORRY FOR THE WORDVOMIT LMAO but i really really do like him and this little thing i have going on with him... we're still in a weird little zone between coworkers and friends and ????????????? but we're both okay with that we're not pushing anything we just do whatever feels comfortable<333333333

BUT WAHHH THANK YOU AGAIN FOR INDULGING ME ON THIS PERCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SMOOCHING YOU SO VERY HARD RN HEHEHEHHEEE!!!!!!! I HOPE UR HAVING THE BEST DAY EVER MY LOVE!!!!!!!

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE KIAWREN!!!!

a bit into their relationship, does kiawe stay with his role as the trial captain? if so! does he ever try to incorporate you into any trials?

he seems very passionate about them hehe he’s just havin fun!

Yes!! He's in the role when they meet and stays in the role throughout Wren's duration in alola for their conservation programme thing (about 4 months in self insert lore but in my head the timeline honestly doesn't matter).

In the Ultra games he hints at stepping down and passing over the captain role to hiker david (who is actually also more interested in dancing) which means he's almost of trial captain retirement age (the cap of 20 years).

For my selfship I almost always imagine them in alola together during this period. But Kiawe wants to study dance overseas and in canon he hasn't had the money to do so yet, but eventually down the road I think he goes to a university overseas.

This coincides with Wren's alola programme ending and he goes back to his home region (idk where). The uncertainty of them parting was. A thing. That I haven't really thought much about. It's emotional but ultimately doesnt make me that sad Becuz they'll actually reunite in the same university! (just that that particular period of wondering about ending up apart is angsty. Which is as far as kiawren angst goes)

Currently I'm sort of waiting for my irl self to enter university mid next year to try imagining us in the context of university together. Though for kiawren I've always just went with the flow so who knows for sure.

So to answer your first question (sorry it was so long winded), yes he's trial captain for the duration of kiawren's time spent together in alola, until he steps down and prepares for university which is when wren is either also preparing to go home or already has.

Second qn whether he's incorporated me into his trials.. I've actually never thought about that! It'd be interesting but in my selfship my s/i is supposed to be doing fieldwork during the day (he can't just be coming to alola to Chill and pine for a pretty boy) for his conservation thing which runs while Kiawe's trial runs. So they usually do their thing during the day separately, then meet in the evenings to talk.

But in theory. It'd be cool to add some Talonflame since it's both a fire and flying type (kiawren's specialties combined)

Becuz sincerely just look at this. What's a few more pokemon to this LOL

If he really wants to up the observation aspect of his trial throwing in some flying fire birds seems to do the job.. Anyway I believe his actual trial is not so simple, the game just made it simple and funny for game purposes, and he actually Does incorporate traditional dances into it. So yeah why not add more birds for the spectacle and complexity of it. And Wren helps train the birds :)
