Obedience Training: Beginning

HDG mini fic by Gardenia Nettle

Raffline was in his hab watching as his lovely adorable floret made a mess of the toys he had gotten her.

“Oh she is going to be absolutely amazing to break.” Raffline thought to himself as his smile grew more malevolent. “Oh petal~ Is puppy done playing with her toys~?”

“Fuck you! I am not your pet!” The Terran Captain… former captain, barks as he lunges towards Raffline. A vine whips out from the Affini’s arm, looping around the fierce collar resting snug around the Terrans neck.

“Heel puppy~” Raffline coos as he pulls on the collar sharply. The Terran is suddenly thrown backwards into the pile of destroyed plushies. “Good dog~”

“Ugh…” the Terran groans. “Damn weed.”

“Now, now, that’s no way to talk about your master. You might just hurt my feelings~” the tone was patronizing saying in unspoken words that the Terran would never be able to hurt her new master.

“Master… but you’re a woman.”

“Now pet, my form may look feminine, but I am anything but.” Raffine pulled the Terran towards him. “Just like how you might look masculine, deep down you’re a pretty girlie who just wants love and attention.”

“Hold your tongue!” The Terran’s voice cracks. He had already been subjected to an interrogation, unable to lie because of the class-Ds.

“But my sweet Jackie, you were so torn up last night. I didn’t make you say that you always wanted to be a girl and how you wanted to be a cute doggie. That was all you~”

“My name is Jack! And you drugged me!”

“Only because you looked so torn up. Why you could barely contain yourself once I started to pet you like the dog you are~”

Jack’s face grew redder by the second. He had been given zenodrugs that made his mind putty and his body so sensitive to the touch of these monsters.

“Y-You made me want that.” He… she mumbled.

“What was that petal?” Raffine asked having heard his pets words perfectly but wanting her to slip up.

“Y-You made m-me want that! I-I was never-“ Jack covered hi-her mouth quickly.

“Ooo, is doggy keeping secrets from master, does doggy want more Class-D druggies?”

Jack tried to fight it, he-she needed to stay strong. She couldn’t give in.

“I-I am a free Terran! I am not a pet!” His words roared out like thinder but she felt how hollow they were getting. She lost her engineer and doctor to these weeds. Her navigator and coms tech were being evaluated just like she was. And his weapons tech had freely chosen to become a pet so she could be with her girlfriend. What hope did she- he have.

“Poor puppy~” Raffline cooed. “Are there too many thoughts in that silly little doggie head of yours? Don’t worry, your master will take care of that~”

The needle tipped vines descend on him-her. Jackie was injected before she could even fight back. Her body heated up, it also begged for the same pets it had gotten just that last night. She couldn’t fight it she couldn’t fight against this will just will alone. She started to whine as the vines retracted.

“Oh puppy, I so do love how hard you fight. It makes this all the better.” Raffline says as he takes a large step back. In response Jack-Jackie was torn. She wanted- no she needed master to pet her. But he also felt repulsed by the need. He wanted to bite and claw the Affini apart. He didn’t have claws or fangs… but she would.

Hope you enjoyed reading a snippet of fic that will get adapted into my overall fic. -Gardenia

Quick P.S. edit to include some stuff.

Jack/Jackie is not Raffline’s first flort

Raffline is femme presenting but male (gnc plants are hot)

Future plan is to have Raffline use a Class-H dose on Jack/Jackie to install triggers to make the domestication more fun. Also subconsciously voice training, because Villain Arc implanted that idea in my head and I had to use it somewhere.

Jack/Jackie’s brother is Aria from my last mini fic.

That is all for this little post script info dump. Enjoy your day, drink your water, fix that posture, and give a floret a good head pat. -Gardenia of the Future

7th May 2024: Amazing and Awesome Coloring Book

This activity book will be published by Penguin Random House in a few weeks. Source.

===

3rd September 2024: Journey to Ooo

This is another Penguin Random House book. It will adapt two episodes: Dungeon and Fionna and Cake. It is part of PRH's Screen Comix line, which means it will just be screenshots from the two episodes with speech bubbles and stuff edited over the top. Source.

This will be the first piece of Adventure Time merch published by Oni Press, who have taken over from Boom Studios as the main publishers of the Adventure Time comics. The Compendium will collect issues 1 to 35 of the original 2012 Adventure Time run. It's not clear whether or not it will also contain the backup stories from those issues, or just the main stories. Presumably there will be a Vol. 2 at some point collecting issues 36 to 75, but that has not been announced yet. Source.

===

12th November 2024: The Fionna and Cake Compendium

Similar to the other compendium, this will not contain any new stories but will collect existing ones. It will include the original Fionna & Cake comic miniseries, the Fionna & Cake: Card Wars miniseries, and a selection of other comics from across the franchise. Source.

===

March 2025: Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game

I made a post about this earlier today.

===

2025: Unannounced Oni Press comic series and graphic novels

We have no idea what these are going to be yet! Source.

===

Probably 2025: Fionna and Cake Season 2

We have no release date yet for the second season of this show. It's probably still a while off, as it didn't enter production until after the first season aired. Source.

===

That's everything for now, as far as I'm aware. Stay tuned!

Hi!! You’re such an amazing smut writer and writer in general!! Do u have any tips on writing smut? I love how you are describing things and actions and your dialogue is so good too !

OOO first off ugh I'm so flattered you're asking me ahhh thank you lovely, here are some tips that I personally use whenever I write:

You have to be in a mood - doesn't have to be a 😈mood😈 but just a mood where you really WANT to write and you're passionate about it. I find that writing out of sheer need is a lot better than forcing yourself to, and the quality always comes out sm better!!

Don't be afraid to go into the nitty gritty details! And maybe this is a personal preference but I find that smut flows a loooot smoother when you use actual bodily terms - RELEASE US FROM THE METAPHORS AND "HEAVENLY PILLAR" I BEG 😩

Use your own experiences 😋 That helps makes things a lot more realistic imo - but if you don't have those experiences, then not to worry! You could also reference from other media you've read or watched n' having those as a muse can make things fun to write.

Heheh I love love love doing this but basically having the characters banter and tease. There's sm more dialogue to work with when they're playful, doesn't always have to be suuuuper serious y'know? (Though, if that's your pref then you go for it 🤤)

Editttttttttt BUT ONLY WHEN YOU'RE HYDRATED N' AFTER A NAP. I find this to be the best, most sane version of me so honestly don't stress about getting writing AND editing done on the same day.

Hope some of these were at least a lil' helpful lovely ahah, happy writing 💕💕

I might be wrong but wasn't it LW that named Daphne a diamond of the first water, bc the Queen said she was flawless? Therefore launching her as the most desired woman in the ton. And starting the whole a "diamond" needs to be named? Then I've always thought in season 2 LW timed her edition to come out as Eloise is presented, specifically to interrupt the proceedings because she knew Eloise was uncomfortable. And the Queen would be completely distracted sometime before Eloise had to go through. Could be wrong but with LW I'm reminded of the song "one night in Bangkok" bc of the line "thank God I'm only watching the game, controlling it." I love when Violet finds the tea on Lord B, and says "we'll talk" bc it's what women do. A flurry of gossip later It saved Daphne from a horrible fate of a loveless marriage to that gross man (he used his status to get a servant of his pregnant and then abandons her and the child. Was this servant girl allowed to even say no to her employer with power? To preserve her innocence/reputation). It seems as if it's the only way a woman could influence her life or make a change.

Also Pen often sets the rumors straight, when others go too far in their speculation and it could blow up as something else entirely. The ton trusts LW's word bc she didn't lie. If she hadn't said what she'd said about Eloise it could have been worse. It softened the social blow, it was merely a smaller transgression though, not as bad as her and her whole family ruined which if it had been exposed elsewhere it would have. The men would have been fine but the the others prospects of marriage would have been damaged or non existent. Same with Marina, the Featherington's had to be socially distanced from even knowing what she was up to, or they would be ruined. It wasn't that she was cruel to Marina, to me, but loves her sisters enough to save them from what Marina did (I can understand her motives, but her cruelty towards Pen and callous way she marked Colin as an easy target upset me). My favorite real life example of how people gossip that could be good, is Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire. Married at 17 in the 1770s, to "the only man in England not in love with his wife" and she was the main Whig party hostess, meetings, parties, and she even canvassed for votes. Parlor room behind the scenes politics. But the downside to gossip is that opposing sides will try to defame through gossip too, and caricature depicting the Duchess as an indecent woman who'd kiss men for votes in order to get Fox elected. That's a very quick overview of an amazing, yet flawed woman (her gambling). But it demonstrates for me at a time when women had very few rights, if you were in a higher social class, through gossip you can start change. Georgiana, as a Whig hostess, as a fashion icon of her time, a woman with the "common touch" very popular with the people, even though she was "her Grace" helped gain traction for her causes, wider rights, abolition and supported American colonial independence during the war. Whether it's a bigger or smaller issue, gossip can be both good and bad. The only time I really dislike it is when it's used to just purposely hurt others, instead of informing or questioning social outdated norms, its just a personal attack designed to hurt someone cruelly (Cressida making remarks about how many children Violet had and what that meant about her and her family...ooo I was not ok with Cressida there or her mama lol) .

I think Pen is sometimes judged too harshly, she'd been ridiculed and ignored in a society that already didn't value her as much as a man. Her future prospects to Her seemed dim, bc all Her life..... words like what Marina said, have been said to Her. Her worth was her family's good name and who she married, how much money they had. So she took some control and power for herself in the only way she could. Through gossip. Sorry I've rambled so long! This is an interesting topic though. 😊

Hi, anon.

I love this analysis. I agree with everything you said here.

I think I'm going to rewatch season specially because of this topic. I want to do an analysis about the nature of gossip and how affect the characters. Maybe more of one part because I think it's going to be long.

I think gossip has a force and doesn't need to be bad. It's neutral and it can show the real nature of the person who's using it. And like you said, Pen never lies. She says the truth, sometimes she even gave proof and her intentions were always good. She does it because nobody else want to see it. Nobody wants to listen the truth, she tried, and nobody was listening to her.

Colin never wanted to see Marina didn't loved him, because he didn't care, because he didn't loved her either. He was lying to himself. Eloise didn't want to see why Pen wrote about her, because she didn't wanted to accept Pen advertised about it many times, and she didn't listen. Daphne and Violet were practically saved by her, the marriage for Daphne, the Violet's reputation. We have so many moments of her helping them.

Gossip is a tool. A tool used women without any other weapon to protect themselves. I think it's a relationship between the female aspect of it and why society sees it like something wrong. Because words can hurt, and yes, they can be used to shame, and make damage, but gossip is a the weapon of the people who's not going to be heard otherwise.

Thank you so much for you message.

My boyfriend is a fountain pen geek and I want to get him something relevant for valentines day! Do you have any gift recs that any pen liker would like getting? Like any maintenance tools or cool inks maybe

ooo youre right that's coming up!! i do have some good recs!!

(EDITING THIS POST!! i originally had a lot of gouletpens links in here but turns out they're founding and funding a very anti-gay misogynistic church?????)

pen maintenance kits are amazing gifts for someone who's really into fountain pens!!! personally i think that brass sheets are a must-have for fountain pen maintenance (nib flossing has saved a few of my pens!)

without knowing what sorts of colours someone likes to use i can still happily recommend ink sample sets!! adding ink swatch cards is also super fun, lots of pen likers enjoy swatching out the colours they have!

aside from those, there's notebooks, pen cases, etc, but a lot of us pen likers are sort of picky about those things and you may wanna find out what brands and styles your pen liker enjoys if you don't already know!

there's also gift cards to pen shops (excellent for the picky pen liker): if there's a nice stationery store near you (or them) it's nice to see if they offer 'em, and if not there's some really nice pen shops online that offer gift cards too like jetpens and wonderpens :3

If you’re not familiar with 5E rules, don’t worry! Roleplaying games are about letting your imagination run wild as you create your own characters and stories. The rules provide support for your imagination and structure for your hero, but take a back seat to the FUN play at the table.

For those new to roleplaying games entirely, we are providing Jake’s Shmowzow Guide to Roleplaying Games with every copy of the Core Book exclusively on Kickstarter. It’s a simple guide to get any person started having fun with the Adventure Time RPG. Written by Ray Winninger, co-designer of the DC Heroes RPG and former Executive Producer of Dungeons & Dragons, the guide includes the needed core rules from the 5E OGL, a simple step-by-step explanation of the simple ideas you need to understand to begin play, and finally a walk-through of the character creation process. All guided by Jake!

Adventure Time has its roots in the older editions of Dungeons & Dragons, with episodes and story arcs that grew from the pastiche fantasy adventure that the second and third editions laid out so beautifully. We believe that the high-quality design of 5E—and its very nature—are well-suited to capturing the open-ended excitement and sense of wonder that are at the core of Adventure Time. If Dungeons & Dragons gave birth to Adventure Time, using 5E for Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game brings everything full circle and is true to the spirit of the series.

We believe that we can craft and implement the world of Ooo and the features of the Adventure Time RPG best in 5E, empowering you with the feeling that you can be any person you want to be and that anything can happen when you step out your door for adventure!

But how, exactly, do you explore Ooo? This is a tabletop roleplaying game built using the Dungeons & Dragons rules, basically. In fact, if you are familiar with those rules, you already know all about how to play Adventure Time: The Roleplaying Game.

If you’re not familiar with those rules, you don’t need to worry. Dungeons & Dragons is a game about letting your imagination run wild; it is a game that is played through conversation, is moderated by dice, and takes place in your cranial. As you adventure through the amazing land of Ooo, stuff will happen. There is a player, called the Dungeon Master, who will tell you about that stuff. 

As a brave adventurer, you will want to respond to your Dungeon Master with awesome heroic actions. Your character will have a set of attributes and some skills and powers that provide options for those reactions. But you can respond however a person could respond (if that person was a Wildberry Person, with an axe!). However you respond, you will tell the Dungeon Master what you want to do.

Once you choose your action, it’s time to get mathematical with it. You will roll a twenty-sided die and add a bonus number to it, based on the attribute (or skill or power) that is most applicable to the action. If the total number is high enough to equal or exceed a target set by the Dungeon Master, you will succeed, and the skill or power will dictate the results of that action.

And that's all there is to it! Imagine what the Dungeon Master tells you, have a conversation with the Dungeon Master about what you want to do, and roll a twenty-sided die to see if it works. Three simple steps to exploring (and loving!) the Land of Ooo.

And we’ve got some sweet new mechanics to enhance your awesome RPG experience and fill it with Adventure Time!

Recipe for recovery part 1

"All right, everybody!” Nani called out, Sanji was already standing next to her on the shore. His cigarette smoke a familiar presence, and he had gone ahead to check to see if the island had anything editable. Luckily, he also found a sign that someone had left telling others how long until the log pose resets. “There's no one who lives on the island except maybe one or two people, thire are only a few signs of civilization,”

“Like the guy with goats?” Luffy asked.

“Yah, just like him. They might even be long dead. Anyway, the log pose sets in two weeks, there appears to be plenty of fresh fruit and other forgeables, and there are wild animals for hunting,” Nami informed everyone.

“Ooo meat! I call going hunting! Zoro you'll come!” Luffy waved his arm in the air excitedly.

“I'll stay behind and watch the ship,” Franky volunteered.

“Great, then Robin and Chopper can collect medicinal herbs and Sanji can gather food. I'll get to work charting the island,”

“Usopp, can you set crab traps?” Sanji asked, since they hadn't had carbs in a while, Nami couldn't wait to taste it again. “See if there any good fish around I left my fish book on the kitchen table along with everyone's lunch,”

“Sure! Why the great captain Usopp once caught a giant carb!” Usopp began to tell his tale, Luffy and Chopper both listening with rapt attention.

Soon, everyone left to go their separate ways, Nami began to get to work on measuring the island. She would do the other more dangerous side another day with a bodyguard. Nami eventually sat down midday. She opened her “pirate lunchbox” as luffy loved to call them. Nami opened the first part of lunch. It smelled and looked amazing as always. With white rice, tofu hamburger with a sticky sweet glaze with minka, cucumber salad, steamed veggies, and chicken. Nami dug in, Sanji always made the best meals…most of the time. There were a few times when food stores had been low, especially with Luffy's midnight snacks. Thanks to Franky and the new locking and much larger fridge that hopefully will be less of an issue. Nami finished lunch and moved on to the second box with dessert. There was a slice of minka cream cake, blueberries, and strawberries.

Nami closed the lid to her lunch and took a long drink from her canteen. She cleaned off her face, stood up, and stretched. She was filled but not stuffed. Enough to satiate and satisfy without feeling heavy and sluggish. She had more work to do after all.

Nami bet that Sanji had filled Zoro's lunch box with all of his favorites; she had seen the swordsman slip a bottle of sake with him. So something to go with it, maybe the last of the sea beast meat, rice, and stuff to go with sake. Sanji would deny it, but he always filled Zoro's pirate lunchbox with his favorites. She had seen the blond watch Zoro pause in his workout to eat the handheld snack Sanji had left him, hearts in his eyes and hearts in the cigarette smoke above his head. Those two idiots were clearly in love with each other but too damn stubborn to admit it.

Nami heard the sound of tumbling, crashing earth, and the sound of a Sanji screaming. He never sounded like that. Nami ran, forgetting her tools, her pulse racing as she headed towards the sound. The silence was triefing. No sounds of a fight or a struggle. Her shoes squished in the wet soil, the grass slippery under her feet, just ahead was the edge of a cliff. Trees brimming with fruit lined the edge of the island, a steep drop off and a chunk missing, Nami inched closer, cautious of the loose dirt underneath. She peered over the ruined Cliffside. Sanji lay on the beach, his limbs stuck in unnatural poses, blood trickling from his head, and many cuts. Nami backed up and placed her hands over her mouth, and began to shout.

“Chopper! Chopper!” Nami had to keep it together. Falling apart wouldn't help Sanji. They needed to get down to him, Sanji might still be alive!

TV Guide, September 2023 Issue (Kanto Edition) ft. Kamen Rider Gotchard Cast Members (translations below)

Publication: August 23, 2023

"What's everyone's favorite previously released Kamen Rider series?"

Fujibayashi: I think of them as "generations," but I used to watch Den-O ('07-'08) alot. The first one I remember watching was much earlier though, with Kuuga ('00-'01). He was the first Heisei Rider, wasn't he?

Kumaki: That's right. For me, Kuuga was the one that left the biggest impact. When I was young, no Kamen Rider series were broadcast, so I don't think there were many people of my generation that were familiar with it. I have a younger brother, so we were able to watch Kuuga together.

Matsumoto: I have two older brothers, so we had alot of the Rider belts at home (laughs). I would watch TV together together with them, and they liked Den-O and Kiva ('08-'09), while I liked Wizard ('12-'13) and Gaim ('13-'14).

Motojima: I liked OOO ('10-'11), which wasn't too long ago, currently I'm watching Geats ('22-'23). Originally, I didn't know too much about Kamen Rider…but, after watching it again, I thought it was very interesting, and felt that I wanted to do the audition.

Abe: I had previously watched Fourze ('11-'12), and when I decided to take the audition, I went back and watched it one more time.

Tomizono: When I was young, I watched Ryuki ('02-'03)…

Fujibayashi: Ryuki was good too!

Tomizono: It really was. It was interesting seeing Riders with such different personalities. I even practiced the transformation poses from different angles in the mirror.

Fujibayashi: Before my audition, I actually practiced transformation poses. It's not really an audition strategy (laughs), but, I thought, "I should do it anyway," and come up with at least one transformation pose.

Kumaki: I did it too (laughs).

"How did you feel when you were finally chosen to appear in Kamen Rider Gotchard?"

Fujibayashi: I was overcome with emotion, and felt that I have finally been able to show something to my parents. I've auditioned for Kamen Rider many times, more times than I can count. Every time, my parents would still believe in me, so I think I'm finally able to return the favor.

Kumaki: I've also auditioned countless times, over the course of many years, so when I was able to pass, I shared the excitement with my family.

Matsumoto: I love Kamen Rider and have watched many of the previous series, so when I thought, "I'm finally going to be apart of this," I felt extremely happy.

Motojima: I joined my current agency in March of this year, where my manager told me, "There's an audition open." It was the first tokusatsu audition I've done for Kamen Rider. I was so happy when I heard I passed the audition, that I still clearly remember jumping up and down.

Tomizono: I was also very happy when I passed. I'm excited to be able to work on a single role for a whole year.

Abe: The moment my manager said, "There's an audition for Kamen Rider," I immediately informed my mother. She currently lives in Osaka, but she calls me every day, and I'll read her my lines over our video calls. When I told her I had passed the audition, she was so excited. Seeing her happy makes me happy, and it made me realize that I have to really work hard and do my best.

Fujibayashi: Kumaki-san and I have auditioned for Kamen Rider many times, but this was the first time for the three of us (Motojima, Abe, and Tomizono). How many times did Rinne (Matsumoto) audition?

Matsumoto: Two times.

Kumaki: That's amazing~.

Fujibayashi: She really is a talented person.

Motojima: I was happy when I was selected, but at the same time, I was worried about if I was actually capable of doing this. Before we started filming, I was actually really nervous. Once we actually started however, it's been alot of fun.

Matsumoto: I also thought the filming was alot of fun, going forward, I feel like I'll be able to improve in many ways.

Tomizono: I'm looking forward to playing Sabimaru for a whole year. Although, I do feel overwhelmed.

Motojima: I need to concentrate on the daily filming. I'd like to go through this year without forgetting to take this seriously.

Coffee with Crows and Butterflies

**I need help. Send help. I ship these two so fucking hard it's not funny anymore!**

**Here we have Daisy having coffee with two Crows. Nothing too bad until they start talking about first kisses, and Daisy feels ashamed that she's NEVER FUCKING HAD ONE!**

**Spoilers for Lucanis's first quest**

~oOo~

Edit: It's been a while, and I forgot to put this here

Warnings: None!

Pairings: Lucanis X (F)Rook

~oOo~

Daisy loved Treviso.

The whole city was alive and bustling without a care in the world; the threat of elven gods didn't frighten them at all. Daisy loved how lively it was, everyone talking and going about their day. There was so much color in the city, too, that it amazed her every time they took the crossroads there. The stark contrast between the Necropolis and Treviso was night and day. The lights, the laughter, the smells (good and bad), and everything in between amazed her.

People in Necropolis were set with tradition and upholding everything undead, but the people here had so much to see. Neve had to help steer her in the right direction the first time they arrived; Daisy had only been to the city once as a child, but nothing stuck. Sure, it was no city of the undead, but it had its charms. Nevarra held the Necropolis, but Daisy rarely remembered stepping onto its streets as a child. It wasn't until she was much older did she see more of the city itself. Her mother had a home outside and inside the Necropolis, but Daisy stayed inside mainly for her schooling. Her first memories of the daylight outside the city were...not pleasant, but the outside world didn't scare her after that time. It was the unknown faces she saw in everyone. Since stepping out with Varric, Daisy had seen so much of Thedas. He had shown her that even looking at unknown faces shouldn't scare her but an opportunity to learn.

Daisy could get behind learning.

"Come on, Illario will meet us at Cafe Pietra. It's not that far from here." Lucanis spoke next to Daisy as they moved about the marketplace. The Crow had asked her if she wanted to accompany him to meet his cousin about information on Zara. Daisy happily agreed with a smile and went to get ready. So far, Lucanis has been a great help to the team since he joined us. She's tried not to bug him with too many questions about what happened in the Ossuary, Spite, the Crows, and everything else, but Daisy was just so curious. "We have some time before he arrives. I wouldn't mind looking around awhile." The comment made Daisy smile, that threw off the Crow.

Daisy saw the look and cursed herself inside. "Sorry, I'm just excited to see more of the marketplace or even the city itself. We haven't been in the marketplace longer than a few minutes, so I'm excited to see what they have."

"I need to pick up a few things anyway, so it's the perfect time. Follow me." Lucanis gave Daisy a small smile and led her deeper into the market. "I have to agree with what you said; we've barely had time to look around since you rescued me. A few things have changed, but not much, thankfully."

"Does it feel strange to be back?" Daisy felt a tug at her pant leg and saw a small child holding up a flower at her. She smiled softly and pulled a coin for the child before taking the flower. The young child smiled before running away. Lucanis watched as Daisy waved her hand around the flower before placing it inside the pack she brought. "To keep it intact until we go back. I don't want to crush it." Lucanis felt a minor tightening in his chest but ignored it.

"In some ways, more than I expected, but then...I guess it's just me." Lucanis stopped by a stall and picked up a potted plant. "For Harding's garden. Spearmint is supposed to calm bad dreams. It's good in desserts, too."

"I hear thyme is also good in desserts and can help with some infections. Should we pick one up, too?" Daisy offered, and Lucanis was surprised by her answer.

"Do you think Harding will like it?"

"She loves her garden; any plant will make her happy, but she's a little biased toward elfroots." Daisy handed the stall owner some coins, but Lucanis stopped her, taking a few back before finalizing the offer. The owner looked slightly disappointed but said nothing as he handed over the plant. Daisy thanked the man before the duo continued. "You and Illario are cousins, correct?"

"Yes, but we're more like brothers. Caterina took us both in...a long time ago now." Lucanis seemed almost sad at the memory, but Daisy didn't want to comment on whether it would bring up a bad memory. "Do you have any family? You are from Nevarra, yes?"

"Ah, well...from what I've been told?" Lucanis raised an eyebrow, and there was no escaping the question. "I was found in the Grand Necropolis as a baby. I never knew my birth mother, and the Mortalitasi who found me adopted me. If I have any siblings out there, I wouldn't know." Daisy explained not the whole story but the story she usually gave to people who asked. There was no need to hide her past; it made her who she was, but sometimes, this sadness creaked in her heart when people asked. Watching people have siblings and a bond between their parents was complicated. That envy to have what could never be hers was dangerous.

"I'm sorry...I..um..." Lucanis tried to get off the topic but found no way around the awkward tension.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I didn't mean to make you uncomfortable! I was telling the truth." Daisy smiled genuinely at the Crow. "Honestly, it's been great getting to know everyone who joined, adding to my adoptive family, so to speak. Harding has been the closest thing I've had to a sister, and I feel like Bellara is getting to that point. Neve is like a mom but not maybe an older sister? A Varric was mainly labeled the uncle or dad of our little group. He's always giving Dad advice whenever you least expect it." Daisy went on and felt her face heat up when she looked Lucanis in the eye. Shit...he's thinking that she's too weird. "Sorry, I ramble a lot when I get flustered; sorry, moving on." Daisy looked away and tried not to look at the Crow while he bought fish for Bellara. Lucanis was attractive; that was so certain and no lie. The first time Lucanis landed in front of Daisy, she couldn't help but curse why, of course, the Crow was handsome. Sure, she's had crushes in the past, but those were fleeting stupid feelings. In the short time she's been around the Crow, Daisy has noticed a softness about him that was wonderful to be around. He was always thinking too short of himself, but so far, Lucanis has been nothing but lovely. A butterfly appeared out of thin air next to Daisy, its cerulean color glowing strangely, which was a dead giveaway that was not normal. Her thoughts and emotions were tapping into her magic again, giving away her feelings. Lucanis and the shopkeep didn't see it yet, so Daisy went with the one option that came to mind to eliminate her embarrassing habit.

SMACK

Lucanis spun his head towards Daisy, who stood with her hands pressed together with a shocked look on her face.

"Sorry, there was a bug." Daisy smiled and tried to control the buzzing feeling that started in her fingertips and spread whenever her emotions rose. "Why are you shopping for food, by the way? You didn't have to do this for everyone."

"Have you seen what everyone eats? I'm surprised you didn't starve before you hired me." Lucanis brushed the itchy feeling behind his eye aside. Being locked in the ossuary still causes that feeling to appear whenever mages are around.

"I helped Bellara out in the kitchen, but I'm more of a dessert cook than a savory one. One too many burnt pans banned me from my kitchen." Daisy chuckled, and Lucanis couldn't stop the small smile creeping on his face. "I have to say, Illario and Caterina didn't seem close when I met them. Have they always been like that?"

"It's hard to get close to her, even for me. And...I'm her favorite." Lucanis spoke, and they continued. The next stop was fresh fruit for Neve and some cured meats to be added at Daisy's request. Once that was completed, Lucanis said now would be an excellent time to head towards the cafe to meet Illario, or else he would find his own trouble. On their way, Daisy noticed a stand filled with daggers similar to the ones Lucanis wielded. While looking them quickly over while Lucanis had his back turned, Daisy saw one that had a wyvern carved into its hilt. The Crow had mentioned in passing with Harding that wyverns were creatures he liked. Without much thought, Daisy picked up the dagger and handed over its price without much fuss before catching up to the assassin and putting the dagger in her bag quickly. If Lucanis noticed, he made no mention as they came to the cafe courtyard.

"Why are we meeting here instead of the casino?"

"House Cantori has many talents. Making coffee is not one of them." Lucanis chuckled as he held the door open for Daisy to enter first. Illario was waiting for them at a table, smiling as the two approached him. Lucanis pulled out Daisy's chair, which surprised her slightly, before sitting down himself.

"Finally! I thought you two might leave me here all by my lonesome." Illario said, his eyes shifting between them.

"Please. You think I'd ever pass up Cafe Pietera's coffee?"

"You see, Rook? My cousin is all stomach and no heart." Illario teased.

Lucanis answered with a roll of his eyes, "Don't mind him. Illario cannot appreciate anything but himself." Lucanis turned towards Daisy with a fond smile. "They serve a specialty roast here: Andoral's breath. Bitter and sweet like a kiss good-bye. You should try it."

"Bitter is good, but my sweet tooth loves chocolate. Much better, in my opinion." Daisy smiled at Lucanis. Her smiles came so naturally that Lucanis secretly wondered how she could smile so effortlessly. Genuine smiles that even a seasoned crow would find trouble recreating.

"They have cioccolata calda. It was my favorite drink as a child." Lucanis answered.

"Yes, please. If you recommend it, then it can't be bad. Although, you might be making fun of me for ordering the choco-chico drink." Daisy let out a giggle, and Lucanis answered with his own chuckle. "I hate to ask why, but why are we not talking about Illario's information?"

"We're being spied upon." Lucanis's answer was blunt.

"What?! I thought-" Lucanis shook his head as he turned his attention to his cousin.

"Not anymore, the last one just left. Couldn't handle your coffee talk anymore." Illario sounded almost annoyed.

"So, you have something?"

The back and forth between them went on for a few minutes before Illario got fed up with Lucanis's overprotectiveness over Zara. It was strange for Daisy to see the man brush off the danger as if there wasn't a massive target painted on his back. Now that the First Talon was dead, didn't that mean Illario would be next? His information also seemed to be off; there was no way the woman responsible would remain in the city. Nevarran politics were almost the same as Treviso's, just different pieces. Lucanis wanting to protect his brother was commendable, but Illario didn't seem much. Was he not happy that Lucanis was back? No, that didn't seem right, and Daisy shook the wild train of thought from her head. The talk gets to a point where Illario leaves the table, Daisy following him, but the Crow is gone in the end.

When Daisy returned to the table, a cup was in Daisy's place, and Lucanis was holding his own. "He's gone."

"Of course he is. Illario always caves under pressure."

"Zara's not going to get Illario, and she's not getting away with anything she's done. I promise." Daisy responded with a worried look.

"Don't promise. But thank you." Lucanis gave her a kind smile before swirling his coffee. He inhaled with a deep breath, the kind smile turning grand as he took a sip of the hot liquid. Daisy looked down at her cup before bringing it to her lips—a mix of chocolatey sweetness and a slight bitterness washed over her like a warm hug. It brought back memories of wintertime with her mothers, the peaceful times as a child when the world wasn't falling apart. Glancing at Lucanis, she could tell he was glad to be home. Of course, she just had to go and open her mouth.

"So, bitter and sweet like a kiss good-bye, huh? That is what you called that blend?" Lucanis glanced over at the woman next to him. "What does a first kiss be, then?"

The smile grew deadly on his face. "Honey and lavender cream. Sweet, intriguing..." Lucanis's eyes watched over Daisy's signs of discomfort. "And you? How would you describe it?"

"I, ah...mmm..." Daisy could feel the heat rise in her cheeks, but she did ask for it when she allowed her traitorous words to slip past her. "I don't know, actually; I've never had one." The last part was muttered into her cup as she took another sip, trying her hardest not to look the stupidly handsome Crow in the face; Daisy couldn't see the shocked expression on his face. She self-consciously reached up to ensure her ear cuffs and the high neck collar of her tunic were secure.

Lucanis's train of thought came to a grinding halt off a cliff. Has the woman before him never been kissed? It could be a lie, but every word from this woman's mouth has been the truth. She even admitted that she was raised never to tell lies; necromancy was a skill and commitment to the truth. Telling lies would mean life and death for their religious practices. Spite was very interested in the words just uttered, but Lucanis shoved him back down with everything he had.

"Really?"

"I, um...my studies were rigorous, and I didn't have much time for...that." That was a lie. "And, of course, there was no one I liked back home." Another lie. The blush across her face was attractive, but the lies shocked Lucanis. Daisy has been open to him, and for her to not speak the truth spoke volumes on its own.

"In matters of the heart, one must be discerning," Lucanis replied softly.

"When it's right, you know. I always believed the feeling should hit you like a sack of potatoes over your head when you know it." Lucanis gave her an odd look. "That's what my...mother has told me in the past. She said, you know when you have a special bond with someone when you understand each other on a different plane. Then, out of nowhere, when you least expect it, a potato sack falls on top of you." That was the truth this time.

"I've always thought that to live truly is to live fully. But even before I was captured, my life was not really my own. So much has been determined for me."

"Being grandson to the First Talon must come with a lot of expectations."

"And when I proved I could carry it, the expectations only grew." Lucanis took another sip of his coffee.

"That can't have been easy. From where I sit, it forged a man of strength and principle. That's not such a bad thing." Daisy once again gave him that reassuring smile that made his heart speed up just a little.

"Not when I hear that from you." Daisy could feel the heat return to her face as her smile turned to one of shyness. "How's your cioccolata calda?"

"Perfect. Just sweet enough to intrigue me." Daisy brought her eyes back to Lucanis's. Daisy looked away again, but this time, she took in the cafe and the people in it. She could understand why this place was so important to Lucanis. The cafe was calm and quiet, with distant sounds of the city just next door. "We can head back to the Lighthouse whenever you're ready. No need to rush."

"Thank you, Rook."

"Daisy." Lucanis looked at her. "You can call me Daisy if you want. There's no need to call me Rook."

"I've heard some of the others use it; I thought that was what you preferred?"

"Not really, it's more like a nickname. I use Rook when talking to strangers and business, I guess. No one would take me seriously if I told them my real name. No one would take anyone seriously if they were named after a weed." Daisy's face fell a bit, but not too much.

"Daisy's are not weeds."

"Depends on who you ask, but I've learned to live with it. Lucanis, though, that's a strong name to take seriously." Daisy changed the subject slightly, but it didn't go unnoticed. The awkward tension was back, and Daisy could feel her leg bouncing up and down under the table. Daisy panicked when she felt the sensation start in her fingertips again, so she quickly excused herself and went over to the water, noticing a secluded, notched area. When she was around the corner, hopefully out of Lucanis's eyesight, she tried to will away the feeling. Of course, it was useless, and there was no way around it. Daisy took a deep breath...

Exhaling released a handful of butterflies from her.

"You little bastards, can you just not pop up for once?!" Daisy hissed as they flew around her. "By all the holy undead of those below me, I am such a moron! I can't even flirt with a man!" She covered her face with her hands, a groan escaping her. "What is wrong with me?! He's going to think I'm so weirdo who can't....ugh!" A few more flew out from her back and started to float away, but Daisy quickly started waving her hands to get them to disburse.

Unaware of Daisy, Lucanis felt he may have said something wrong, so he followed her. He hugged the corner, peering around to ensure he wasn't seen immediately. What he saw left him in awe as Daisy tipped her head back with a sigh; a swirl of magic danced around her as butterflies appeared. It was a remarkable sight that stunned him and woke Spite up. Lucanis had seen magic and blood magic, but the itch behind his eyes that he normally felt wasn't as bad as it usually felt when mages released their power. The air around her shimmered and gleaned; the butterflies floated around her in gentle form. Her eyes glowed a faint blueish-green when she opened her eyes, but when she started to shout at them, he couldn't stop the smile from spreading. He was taken back when she began to speak to them about him, and he took it as his cue to leave her be to return to the table. Coward. Lucanis ignored Spite's words as he sat back down.

A minute or two later, Daisy returned to the table with an embarrassing look, "I'm sorry about that. I didn't want to bother you enjoying your coffee."

"Do not worry about it. I brought up a sensitive topic for you; I apologize." Lucanis said, carefully watching her movement.

"You shouldn't be the one apologizing. I'm the one with no manners leaving that like. Thank you for the drink, by the way. It's delicious."

They sat in quiet comfort for a while before it was time to leave. Daisy relaxed into her mug, learning that silence was ok in that moment. When they returned to the Lighthouse, they went their separate ways with a quiet goodbye and good night.

The following morning, Daisy was unpacking in her room when she came across the dagger she had forgotten that she bought for Lucanis. With a groan and a deep breath, she returned to the pantry room he had claimed. Lucanis, of course, was making breakfast for everyone when she entered. "Ah, Ro-Daisy. Did you need something?" Lucanis corrected himself as he stopped mid-stir to look at her. Daisy said nothing as she approached him, stopping right before him with a smile. Then she pulled out the dagger from behind her back, glad to see the sudden shock appear on the Crows face.

"Actually, I came to give this to you. Since you got something for everyone else, someone should get you something in return." Daisy held out the dagger, and he took it, gently rolling it in his hands to look it over.

"A wyvern-tooth dagger? For me?"

"You and Harding were talking about creatures, and I heard you mention that you liked them. I promise I wasn't trying to listen in or anything, I swear!" Daisy wanted just to stab herself with the dagger at that moment. "I saw it at the market and thought it would be a gift you might like? A thank you for what you've done for everyone so far. Including the shopping and the choco-chico drink yesterday."

"I loved wyverns as a boy. Caterina would never let me have one of these, though." He tested the weight in his hands, happy with how it balanced. "It's of good make, thank you."

"You're welcome, Lucanis." Daisy felt the sensation in her fingers again and started fiddling with them. "I'll, ah, let you get back to your cooking. Sorry for interrupting."

"It's quite alright; this was a pleasant surprise. I'll make sure to put this somewhere safe. Maybe even use it." Lucanis smiled at her, and Daisy nodded. She gave a quick wave before turning on her heel to walk away and inserted her foot inside her mouth again. As she walked away, a single butterfly emerged from her back, fluttering its way over to Lucanis. The Crow held his hand, allowing the creature to land softly on his palm. There was a tingling feeling as it slowly beat its wings; the glow was faint but nonetheless beautiful.

There's power there. A purple manifestation of Lucanis's likeness appeared next to him, and he leaned down to get nose-to-nose with the creature in his hand. Delicious. It's too bad she finds you awkward to talk to; she deserves someone much better than you. What does she see in a worthless creature like you? Lucanis brushed the comment aside, ignoring Spite as the butterfly disappeared. In his mind, the picture of Daisy smiling at him was enough to keep a smile on his face for a while.

Watching the party stream now, I stayed for I think half an hour, but I was so tired, I couldn't stay for nearly 2 hours. I did read through the bound discord to sort of spoil it for myself to bring anxiety levels down. I'm watching it from Vast's POV first, then will watch others.

Ooo she's here.

Oh my god, what is happening. Wow, Viviana! Low blow. You bitch. Get her ass Armor.

Need to take a second to pause and calm, having to explain everything can go so badly. Oh, it's gone well, thank god.

Armor no. You will not go after her alone

Now I fear for anyone who got hit, also Rune. None of this is very good, I'm worried.

Rune don't listen to a word that bitch said, excuse my language but, she's a c-

Like Armor and Vast are trained to defend and fight. If everyone else ran, sure the fight would have lasted a bit longer, but they would've been able to do it, and they wouldn't have blamed anyone for running. The fact that only Ash and Taliesin, for good reasons, ran is honestly amazing. Everyone should be so proud of themselves for fighting.

I'm having a time, I'm gonna watch Runes POV, then Armors, then anyone else

Edit: I didn't see Runes eyes change. What the fuck

[anewp0tat0]

AAAAHHHHH!! CONSIDER MY SHIT FLIPPED!! THE BLACK BUTLER LIVES! What are your thoughts on the new art style?

BRO I'm with you, flipped like that pancake I managed to throw half out the pan😩 I still can't believe. best Monday every fr.

and ooo thanks for the question, I wanna hear your thoughts after this👀 I've already said a little bit about this in the tags of some other posts, as well as touched on it in my master post of the crew, but I suppose I may give a big final answer(for now, from this teaser).

judging the art alone, not the fact that we get a new anime or anything exciting like that, just the art alone... it's very pretty!

yea this is very pretty. the kid looks great, small and good, and his hair looks feathery and neat, so I approve. I think they nailed his general proportions, I think they'll do a great job at keeping them consistent during episodes! the image to the right does looks a tiny bit like a 3d asset, which is a bit jarring compared to the previous anime style, but I'm flexible towards this change. even if he looks like a video game cutscene character, I usually love cutscenes!!

but here's the drama I'm sure you're here for. yes, unfortunately, there are some wee things that I don't love as much🤏

the first thing, it really doesn't matter and I should shut up about it now... but YOU asked so ajdjfksksk why did they have to shrink sebs jaw cmon my favorite art of him ever was during the Greenwitch arc so don't tell me I'll NEVER be able to see that style of him animated😫 I just like prominent features man. I know he's meant to be pretty but but but....

ah okay. heres the main thing that I think most people may agree with.

these are two screenies of sebster from the teaser. honestly, as ☆luxurious☆ as his lashes are, I'm not a fan of the left image. the airbrush on his hair feels a tad overdone. I love the attention to detail, especially in the one on the right, it shows a lot of love! but there's just something about it that's a bit off for me.

and I think after 24 hours I've finally figured it out: it's the colors.

the realization started to hit me when I saw my favorite edit so far here by @ashxketchum. the colors have been edited to be much more saturated and warm. and I think this is exactly what is missing here.

I even tried my own hand at it, and yea personally, I think slapping a saturation, tint, and just a BIT of contrast on the whole thing can do numbers on it.

already I like it(no I'm not just praising my own work, it's not the best edit out there I did it in 30 secs). I think the reason for this is because the background is very rich in contrast and warm tones, so the characters(particularly sebastian who is all black) stand out when they are muddy and low contrast. I love stylistically when contrast is high, but that's just a personal thing, and I shouldn't hold a studio to those standards.

I tried it for the poster too though, which again I felt was a bit off. official art has never been the most top tear, and the poster is GOOD, the background is awesome and the two peeps looks amazing. but my problem with it was clear once I did another color edit.

(edit on the right)

again, I feel like everything was very muted in the left original, not to mention a tad monochromatic. I really think a kick of contrast and hue could do wonders.

BUT. I know that at the end of the day, it's not a big deal. I don't really care. would it make my day or whole year if they slapped a color filter on it, or continued to work on the color grading of the scenes? probably yea! but my opinion isn't obsolete, and most of all, I look forward to and respect the artists decisions.

so no I'm not "fixing" the art😅😒.

and finally, I think this is awesome:

(I had forgotten but this gif is edited by @kilruas from this post)

GORGEOUS. could it turn some people off cause it's mostly cg? maybe. idc though. gorgeous. gimme some of that beverage.

sorry for the rant, hope it's what you wanted! I think that's everything... I like it 85%!

Hi I’m here to bother your inbox:

Favorite (non SP) fandom and why?

OOO shit, I’ve only ever been in the SP fandom to be honest, like it’s the only one I’ve really been involved in. 🫣 I wouldn’t count my music era from when I was 14-15 HOWEVER, I do interact with different fandoms of my interests but it’s mainly surface level 😭🙏

To name a few:

Invincible: I fucking love this show, it doesn’t have much of a fandom but I love the fanart I have seen and I love watching videos analysing the characters. It’s one of my favourite shows honestly and I’m so hyped for season three coming out in a week and a half now shshsh.

Arcane - I LOVED ARCANE SO MUCH!! It’s become one of my favourite TV shows, for its amazing writing and I love how nuanced the characters are (I’m honestly mad it exists bc nothing will ever come close to its story telling lol) I love all of the fanart and memes from the fandom, like it’s always GODSEND.

Epic the Musical: I LOVE LOVE LOVE this fandom!! I love watching the animatics and everyone reciting different sources from the Iliad/Odyssey and weaving it into Epic fanart, it’s really cool. I also just love the songs and I can’t wait for the day it becomes a movie or is on the stage.

Merlin - I’ve read a couple of fics from the Merlin fandom actually !! I love the show (I never finished it but shhhh) and I loved the characters so much - especially Gwyn and Merlin so I love seeing fanart of it. I also love the edits I’ve seen.

Winx - I HAVENT WATCHED THE SHOW IN YEARS BUT I LOVE THE FANDOM!! I love the ocs, the edits, the fanart. All of it, Winx was my whole childhood and the songs all slapped. My favourites will always be Aisha and Flora. (I’m also basing Wendy’s design of Tecna in my fic !!)

ATLA - It’s similar to how I interact with the Winx fandom, except I may rewatch it one of these days <3

Teen Titans - also the same as the other two except I’m also dying to rewatch this one as well.

Some other media/fandoms I like are: Moral Orel, Mouthwashing, The Princess and the Frog, Anastasia, Hercules, Treasure Planet, Road to El Dorado, Prince of Egypt, The Hunger Games, Wicked and Hamilton !!

For extra lore: The first fandom I was technically in was Sally Face!! My first ever fic was a Sally Face one which I wrote when I was 11 or 12. And no, no one may know about it, don’t worry about it LMAO.
