Dear @tickly-trashcan, I'm a big fan of your writing and it was an honor to be your secret Santa :]

Pairing: Venti x Xiao

Lee: Xiao

Ler: Venti

Xiao fidgeted nervously, casting furtive glances at the carefree bard beside him. They had been spending more and more time together lately, and Xiao found himself longing for Venti's playful touch. But how could he admit such a desire?

Subtly, Xiao began dropping hints. A slight squirm when Venti brushed against him, a barely-stifled giggle when the wind whispered across his skin. Yet Venti remained oblivious, continuing their cheerful banter as if nothing was amiss.

Finally, Xiao could stand it no longer. Grabbing Venti's arm, he looked up with pleading eyes. "Venti... will you please...do the thing?"

"what thing?" Yes, the bard was positively smirking

"canyoutickleme???"

"speak up song bird"

". . . tickle me, please"

Venti's smirk widened in delight. "Oh Xiao, I thought you'd never ask!" Without further ado, nimble fingers began dancing across Xiao's sides, eliciting breathless laughter and uncontrollable squirming.

As Xiao's protests turned to joyful shrieks, Venti grinned mischievously. "You know, all you had to do was say the word!"

Xiao could only wheeze out a reply between gales of laughter. "I...hehe wait!... Venti, please... don't stop!"

"Alright"

"WAIT NO-"

Xiao squirmed and giggled as Venti's deft fingers danced across his back, the bard's touch feather-light and achingly gentle.

"V-Venti, please..." Xiao gasped out between breathless laughs, "I can't t-take it..."

The bard only grinned, fingers trailing delicately down Xiao's spine. "But Xiao, you asked me to tickle you. I'm simply obliging."

Xiao let out a high-pitched squeal as Venti's nails lightly scratched at the sensitive skin along his shoulder blades. The adept's back was undoubtedly his most ticklish spot, and Venti seemed determined to exploit that weakness to the fullest.

"I-I didn't know... it would be this b-bad!" Xiao protested, squirming and twisting in a vain attempt to escape the relentless tickling.

Venti's fingers danced lower, tracing feathery patterns across Xiao's lower back. "Aww, but you're enjoying it, aren't you?" the bard teased, eliciting another peal of giggles from the usually stoic Xiao.

"N-no! Well, yes, b-but..." Xiao's voice trailed off into helpless laughter as Venti's tickling intensified, the bard's movements becoming more playful and mischievous.

Try as he might, Xiao simply couldn't hold back the tide of breathless giggles and uncontrollable squirming. Venti had discovered his ultimate weakness, and he was powerless to resist the ticklish onslaught. Not like he'd have it any other way

The tickling finally subsided, leaving Xiao panting and flushed, their entire body tingling. Venti gathered the exhausted Adeptus into his arms, pressing feather-light kisses to their forehead.

"There, there, my dear songbird," Venti murmured soothingly, gently running their fingers through Xiao's disheveled hair. "You did so well. I'm so proud of you."

Xiao nestled gratefully into Venti's embrace, reveling in the warmth and comfort. "I... I can't believe you reduced me to such a mess," he mumbled, cheeks burning with embarrassment.

Venti chuckled, peppering more tender kisses on top of Xiao's head. "Ehe~, but you loved every minute of it, didn't you?" He teased gently.

Unable to deny it, Xiao simply kept quiet, snuggling closer. The tickling had been utterly overwhelming, but now, wrapped in Venti's loving arms, he felt nothing but blissful contentment.

"Rest now, my dearest," Venti whispered, stroking Xiao's back in soothing, feather-light caresses. "You've more than earned it."

Xiao's eyes fluttered shut, a small, satisfied smile playing on their lips. The lingering tingles of ticklishness gradually faded, replaced by a deep sense of calm and security.

This is so bad, I'm so sorry😭

[spookythesillyfella]

Spook, do you need someone to talk to? Do you need someone to listen to what you have to say? Because you're worrying me and I wanted to let you know that you're not alone. If you don't want to talk to your friends or they're ignoring you, you can count with me.

i mean . im fine – i do feel extremely lonely oftentimez but im okay

i've lived through thiz sort of weird isolation where people i love don't really pay attention to me – whether itz cuz they have better friendz than me . they just got tired of me . are generally buzy with their own livez . etcetera etcetera – and i've survived . right ?

i guess itz sorta rough now becauze i had genuinely found a group of people i waz super comfortable with and now itz basically crumbled right before my eyez . and knowing that im never gonna get it back just makez me a little upset

but im okay ; i keep blowing thiz admittedly banal situation out of proportion . making it out to be some catastrophic event instead of just a regular part of life

pleaze don't worry about me – uze your energy for something more important . like people in your life . or just getting through the day-to-day ; i can handle everything on my own . just like i've done in the past

i can assure you that i will be okay in the end ¥_^ 💌💌

[pleafyistired]

I knew if I sent that on anon I would lose the post and have to dig into dash for 5000 years /silly. Can you tell me more about your ocs perhaps perchance - 🕶

You gotta be more specific my friend i haveeee… symbolismss, main story, characters personality, side characters, the Antagonist, designs, weapons and battle styleee etc etc /sillyy

But uhh i think ill start out with the prologue/backstory that kicks the whole story off… :3 buckle up, its a bit long! :3

DISCLAIMERR everything is all under construction and might change!! Im sorry if i just randomly one day change shit up lol, but for now heres the shit ive cooked up.

undercut cause kinda Long.

Okayyyy SO! We first start out with Chris :3 hes born in a royal family thing and even though hes a younger child, after proving to everyone hes clearly superior in Everything* compare to his older brother whos unluckily* wasnt born mutated with dragons features and powers (super rare since like dragons are basically consider extinct at that point in the world after being hunted down and erased by people). The older brother was kind and compassionate compare to the confident killer machine that is his brother, so Chris is basically on the throne now on account of his parents being pretty old now and them pushing most of the work to their sons and fuck away to vacations. During this time of chris’s ruling, the next door kingdom has a single king with no heirs. These two kingdom, chris’s and this other dude’s, are the two most powerful nation in the world and is basically fighting the other for more control over Everything. That king didnt quite seem to care about the fact hes old and have no heirs tho, as he was more concerned with having as much control over everything as possible. Chris took offense to this cause HEY controlling and taking over the world- I MEANN ruling over everyone is HIS JOB! so they fought a lot until one day the old king died right at his desk, and it was rumored he was assassinated but theres no time to figure that all out now, cause that kingdom immediately crumbled without the iron fist control freak ruler to run everything, everything went to shit! and long story short, Chris basically took over that kingdom and punish anyone that were in support of the past king and all is well! Now he rule everything yippie!

Spoiler alert! it Doesnt cause as it turns out, the old king actually secretly had a team of scientist that was researching how to revive a dragon from ice cause the king figure hey. if that young brat is so proud of its stupid dragon might, ill have my OWN dragon son to kick his stupid ass. And he succeeded! So he raised his dragon son in secret for years until womp womp hes dead. The dragon guy went into hiding and finally is now planning to emerge with the single goal of avenging his dead father! and thats Eric :3

Thats BASICALLY. Keyword BASIC. Introduction of the two. Cause shit are much Much more complicated and as the plot unfolded, so so much more happened… escalated much more from simple personal drama to the sake of the world, to having to deal with what being alive is and what living for yourself means, that being the paragon hero isnt VERY GOOD and Not in the way youre thinking of which is “ohh im too worried about others to thibk about themselves.” Yes thats also a part, but being the perfect paragon hero can escalate to something so so much more dark and just GAHHH THATS 0.1% OF IT. I HAVENT EVEN SCRATCH THE SURFACE.

also if youre wondering what a paragon hero is btw, heres an explaination, but the simple relevant explaination for my story is that someone who will do good for the SAKE of doing good, the classic typical hero who will never give up on what is good and will do anything for it. Think superman or batman! ^_^

ANYWAYS yeah thats the Prologue, and lemme know if you want to know anything else lol <3 THANKS FOR ASKING BTW I APPRECIATE IT ❤️❤️❤️

Mitsu!

Hello!

How did you learn to draw beautifully?:0

hello hello!!

im self taught,

BUT it was purely because of all the knowledge that i've gained during my trips to outer space that's really helped me

each planet and star gave me unique advice, which all combined into one to make my style :))

because the planets and stars believed in me, i wanted to believe in myself, so i continued to draw non stop.

not drawing for anyone else but for my own enjoyment :)

question bout Wisteria cos i utterly ADORE her design, is there a practical use for those extra appendages/bladed wires she has?

YES!! Oh my god thank you SO much for asking!! I kind of am going to dump a lot of information about it below, but here's a quick diagram / explanation!

Essentially, they're used for another means of defense, think searing-hot built-in knives, or when inactive can be used to jack into terminals and the like to hack! Each tendril "end" has a connector concealed in it, and this ultimately allows her hands to be free at all times!

Okay here's the dump: Wisteria is first & foremost a netrunner, above all. She rarely uses guns or blades besides her cybernetics, so everything on her body HAS to be practical & either for extreme defense (I.E mantis blades) or for hacking. She is equipped with a Cyberdeck and can quickhack enemies, but even the best netrunners can run low on ram or get caught in an unsavory situation. This is the alternate solution, because as much as she ADORES her mantis blades, they really require her to be focused on no more than two (and barely) enemies at once.

The colored part of the blade, when activated, are burning hot when lit; without the digital "blades" not on, they feel like cold steel and cut like knives. Given a blade has been activated recently, they do need a small period to cool down before retreating to their inactive state or using that specific blade to hack a terminal.

To give fairness/limit the reach of these tendrils, they cannot imaginably reach more than her wingspan would be if she were to have a proper set of wings or much rather, the full height of Wisteria themselves (5'4" without heels). Not only that, but the tendril "body" themselves are NOT much better than, for example, the body of a whip. In rare circumstances, yes, you could use them to choke or detain someone, but there would need to be additional support of both arms to pull/tighten to that extent. Think more of a cat's tail rather than a powerful muscle!

Finally, this also poses a very challenging (and fun) design for me personally! Not only does it not make sense to have clothing that rests on her forearms, she almost always needs to have an opened-backed top or dress that accommodates her additional ligaments.

I originally had the idea to allow the tendrils to support her body weight (which would give her extra mobility) but realized it's reaching outside the "grounded in reality" limit I try and give myself. Although a cool concept, this being connected to her spine and the prior mention of it's similarity to a cat's tail, unfortunately feels like a reach. Although it did produce a fun concept sketch!

AGAIN!! Thank you so much for asking, it really made my day and I hope you enjoy this brain dump!! You're AWESOME!!

Happy birthday!! 🫶🫶 I hope you’re having a good day :] I have a butterfly boy to give you for the occasion and I wasn’t sure how to send him so I figured I’ll just slap him in your inbox

He’s both a birthday gift and just a way to say I really appreciate you and your continued support :> it’s been wonderful having a friend who’s just as crazy insane about ants as me, but also one who always uplifts me and my work! I can’t think of another time I felt so accepted in a fandom and a lot of it is thanks to you 💕

Here’s your boy! He loves you very much <3

Raven you literally did not have to go this hard for this art!!!! I love it so much!!!!! 🥺😭💖💖💖 I almost started tearing up in public when I saw this sjjddk the caa fundamentally changed who I am as a person and it's just strange to me to see it so consistently highly rated but not seeing people talk about it constantly in the tags, so needless to say I'm ALSO super happy to have an ant friend 😭 ESPECIALLY someone who also has Thoughts on pouf since so many people didn't like him, he is just The Guy Ever to me and I'm so so glad you also see it,, must also say that the more I see meruem the funnier he gets, he is so point blank and blunt and the more he just Says Things the more I lose my mind jshdjfhd thank you so much for the boy I am setting him as my phone background as we speak, ants fully rewired my brain and I'm so glad to have someone else to talk about it with + I'm so glad to be a part of you feeling so accepted within the hxh fanbase 😭💕

As for my day, it was pretty good! I went to a state park and got to hang around outside and hike for a few hours, and it's REALLY making me wanna look more formally into a conservation career 😫 I nearly got rained out in the end but it was still a gorgeous day to head out!
