Hello Sweetie!

[envy-of-the-apple]

speaking of isekai, imagine you live in a world where ppl falling into other universes is pretty common.

ppl get whisked off so much that there's a being who's only job is to retrieve those who fall into other worlds. Accord is really good at her job, the Travelers usually get back by the end of the week.

The Travelers are instantly labeled as celebrities. Everyone wants to know about their adventures. You've heard of world's where people can control elements. Someone else fell through a world where only a certain group of humans can see and fight monsters. There was this other person who apparently went into the Iliad. woof.

So one day, when you wake up in a place that isn't your bed, nor your home, you know to remain calm. Instead, you bide your time. You wander around the world. It's a strange one. You see the evidence of humanity all around, but you haven't see them yet. Every so often, you'd come across decayed clunky-looking robots.

also, you know you've been here for hours and yet...the sun has been in the exact same position as always.

Eventually, you meet a working robot. He's really nice! he seems really excited to meet you too, and you soon learn you're the first human he's ever met. He tells you that all of the other humans have gone to the Moon, and you should talk to the androids if you want to know more.

and so you do. the android's reactions is more or less the same compared to the robot's. you get that they've never seen a human before, but their reactions are throwing you off a little. They never let you lift a finger. You're dressed in their finest clothes and you're given such beautiful jewelry because we've learned that humans love shiny things no? every single thing you do is jotted down and gushed at. one android even fainted out of pure joy when you sneezed. Sure, they were a bit weird, but they meant well. You were fine with it.

At first.

One android guard turns into two then three, then four. Sometimes, you are asked to sit next to the King of androids as the rest celebrate your 'excellence'. The incident that scared you the most was where that one android with a mangled leg broke out of the crowd, begging for your blessing.

....it's starting to feel like they see you as a God.

things just keep getting stranger. whenever you ask about talking to the humans on the moon, the androids keep giving you these strange excuses. going outside happens less and less. The King of Androids starts getting a bit too interested in human marriages and the anatomy of the human body. every time you mention Accord or the prospect of going home, the androids get a very strange look on their face.

You know none of the androids follow the Christian faith, but you can't help but get a sinking feeling in your stomach when you see something that eerily looks like a church being built. Your attendants start asking about ring sizes. When you ask about it to anyone they get a really big smile on their face and say 'it's a surprise'.

You just hope Accord finds you soon.

It will never not be funny to me that Riddle is only older than Ace by 1 month AND he was house warden a week into his first year at NRC

FR imagine the third years telling their peers about it like "You're not gonna believe this shit but the tiniest first year throttled the dorm leader in a duel. He's ordering everyone around like a bloody dictator but he somehow manages to be terrifying enough about it that we just. Listen to him. He's literally the tiniest pipsqueak but he wipes the floor with any challengers - what the hell even is this school"

I HC that he got a growth spurt a while into his first year at NRC so he was just. Even tinier than he is now.

ok so my last post didn't do so well lmao but i'm still really proud of how it turned out and i wanted to post the background on its own

here's the animation!

People don’t talk about MC needing to wear a magical ring to not accidentally yk cause NATURAL DISASTERS with their powers??? Not only accidentally but without realising???

Diavolo or smthn is asking too much of MC or being a bit too annoying and their other hand slowly drifts towards the ring and they hold onto it while maintaining dead eye contact. Like continue to piss me off hoe I’ll blink and blow a hole in your castle idk

Obv they never do it (or do they?) but the threat is there and it’s a risk dia (or whoever but I’m using dia) can’t take

Come visit beautiful Inquiry Pond, inconveniently located in the heart of the Eastern Palace!

Inquiry Pond is the perfect location for many interesting and exciting questions, such as:

What sort of inquiries does the pond seek to answer?

Why is there so much security around Inquiry Pond?

How many people have died here?

Who is responsible for this crime against decency and nature?

When can we leave?

Entry by gold core donation! Why not bring all your cultivator friends?

obviously im a scarian girlie but solidarian really is such a close second. i love them so much grian really thrives the most when he has someone to relentlessly bully and tear apart with his claws and jimmy plays into it so well. in my head grian is having his epic multi season long divorce and romance plot with scar but every season he still needs to find jimmy and kick him in the teeth and make his life miserable because thats just how they work. i keep going on twitter and getting posts suggested on my FYP from people i dont follow doing the most insane discourse about how its problematic to ship them because theyre literally siblings and it scares me
