#YESSSS MOONS TURN >:}

[dissapointu]

hi!! may you do how arcane characters would react to their partner who is a famous model?

OMG YESSSS,

Jinx

“Wait, so, like… everyone stares at you for a living?” She’s jealous, obviously. But also super proud. She’ll crash your photo shoots, swinging from the rafters yelling, “THAT’S MY GIRL! LOOK AT HER FACE! LOOK AT IT!!!”

Also, don’t be surprised if she “borrows” some of your outfits and makes her own chaotic Jinx remix versions.

Vi

At first, Vi’s like, “Cool, you’re a model, whatever.” Then she sees you in one of your campaigns—posing in some ridiculously hot outfit—and she’s just like, “DAMN, THAT’S MINE?!” She’ll play it off with cocky comments like, “Guess I have to fight everyone now since they’re all looking at you.” But secretly, she’s your biggest fan and has your pictures saved on her Hextech phone.

Sevika

She’s unimpressed at first. “Modeling, huh? That’s nice.” But the moment she sees you walking a runway, her drink almost falls out of her hand. After that, she’s in full bodyguard mode, standing at your side looking scary AF whenever you’re in public.

“Let them look. But if anyone touches, they’re losing a hand,” she mutters while adjusting her mechanical arm.

Silco

He’s the type to be quietly supportive, but deep down, he loves that everyone’s obsessed with you. During arguments, he’ll smirk and say, “Funny, isn’t it? The most desired person in the world is sitting here arguing with me.”

He’ll pay for entire ad campaigns just to see your face plastered across Zaun. “It’s business,” he claims, but he’s just a simp.

Vander

Vander’s a little confused at first. “So… people pay you to stand around and look nice?” But when he sees you working, he’s like, “Oh, I get it now.” He’s so proud it’s borderline embarrassing, constantly bragging about you to his bar patrons.

“That’s my girl,” he says with a soft smile every time your picture pops up. Ugh, sweet dad energy.

Ekko

Ekko’s OBSESSED. “You’re a model and my partner? Talk about hitting the jackpot!” He’ll build you custom gadgets to make your life easier, like portable fans for shoots or little mirrors in your jewelry.

Also, he’ll 100% steal your sunglasses and walk around like he’s in a photo shoot himself, striking dumb poses and saying, “I learned it from the best.”

Jayce

Jayce is over the moon. “My partner is a model? Hell yeah!” He’ll take every chance to hype you up to literally everyone. “Did you see her latest campaign? She’s stunning, right?!”

But he’s also low-key insecure sometimes, like, “What do you see in me? I’m just a nerd with a hammer.” You’ll have to remind him that he’s hot, too.

Viktor

Viktor is quietly amazed. He’ll act like it’s no big deal, but you catch him staring at your magazine spreads for way too long. “The lighting is impressive,” he’ll mutter, pretending it’s all about the photography.

He’s secretly in awe of how confident you are. On bad days, he’ll say, “You know, you’re too good for me, but I’m selfish, so I’m keeping you anyway.”

Caitlyn

Caitlyn’s the ultimate supportive girlfriend. She’s at every runway show, clapping politely but beaming with pride. Afterward, she’ll wrap you in her arms and say, “You looked breathtaking out there.”

Also, she’s so classy that she’ll casually mention your career to people like it’s no big deal, but inside she’s like, “Yeah, that’s MY girl, and she’s flawless.”

Mel Medarda

Mel is completely unfazed. “Of course, you’re a model. I wouldn’t settle for anything less.” She’ll attend your events in couture outfits that match yours, turning the whole thing into a power couple moment.

She’ll also help you navigate the industry with ruthless efficiency. “Darling, fire your agent. I’ll find someone better.”

Ambessa Medarda

Ambessa is low-key smug about it. “You’re the most beautiful person in the room, and I get to take you home? Lucky me.” She’ll escort you to every event like a queen guarding her treasure, daring anyone to look too long.

She’s also the type to say something wildly inappropriate, like, “I could rip that dress off you right now,” while you’re on the red carpet.

Cecil B. Heimerdinger

Heimerdinger doesn’t really get modeling, but he supports you nonetheless. “Fascinating! Humans are drawn to symmetry and aesthetics, it seems.” He’s full of technical compliments like, “The angle of your posture was impeccable in that last shoot.”

Also, he’ll make you a tiny model of one of your outfits because he’s precious like that.

Salo

Salo acts like he doesn’t care, but he’s secretly super proud. “You’re a model? Huh. I guess that explains the constant photographers.” He’ll act like it’s no big deal, but he’s staring at your campaign posters like a lovesick puppy when no one’s watching.

Scar

Scar is SO hyped about it. “You’re a model? That’s badass!” he’ll hype you up every chance he gets, like, “Look at you, absolutely killing it!”

Also, he will definitely try to jump into your photo shoots, striking silly poses until someone kicks him out.

Maddie Nolen

Maddie is obsessed with you and not subtle about it. “I knew I was dating a goddess, but damn!” She’ll brag about you to literally everyone and start casually slipping into conversations like, “Oh, yeah, my partner? A literal supermodel.”

She’ll also steal your wardrobe for herself. “What? You look good in it, and so do I!”

Lest

Lest is super supportive in a quiet way. She'll attend your shows, sitting in the back with a soft smile, just proud of you. Afterward, she’ll hand you a little flower she picked on the way and say, “You were wonderful.”

She doesn’t fully understand the fashion world, but she thinks you’re amazing and tells you so every chance he gets.

TL;DR: Everyone is absolutely floored by your beauty. They’re either simping, bragging, or plotting to fight anyone who gets too close. You’re the it girl of their world.

Good shit from today’s MGAFS ep:

Puppet’s cunty form restored 💅🏻

Foxy sent FC to the store for a cold compress and soup for Puppet, confirming that he DID nurse her back to health

FC did not know how a store works, despite having been to several

Puppet vulnerability moment, humanizes her a bit, excellent

Puppet and Foxy and Sun friendship moment, yessss

Puppet apologized to Sun for trying to force him to make a choice, genuine apology where she acknowledged her reasoning was selfish, good for her

Puppet angsty backstory moment when Sun said “you’ve never had to make a decision like that” and she turned away and went silent

Also Sun admitting he needed help with the cats bc he’s not feeling good and Puppet immediately volunteering to watch them 🥺

Sun, who has been pulling away a lot in this arc, asked Foxy and Puppet to stay, the power of friendship

Puppet: He gets lost sometimes, he only has one eye… Sun: he’s right behind you

Unfortunate occurrences:

Sun saying the cats missed Moon got me right in the fucking heart bro, but it was a good touch

Montgomery “don’t-tell-Sun-about-this” Gator at the end, boooooo hissss

[demigoddessqueens]

Bonjour ma chérie! *kisses your hand*

May I be so bold as to ask you from the ask game sun and moon for Astarion and Tav?

Yessss!! I have so much love and ideas for this!!

A/n - these are going to be all over the place from Act 1 to Act 3

SUMMARY: The first time he met you and the five times Astarion wanted to kiss you. a lonely soul realizes what he has been longing for when you cross paths by chance.

Also posted here on my ao3

The Sun and Moon are never meant to be together. They always were, and always have been opposing powerful forces of nature. One that burns so brightly and brings life to the world, whereas the other signifies the end of what one is familiar with. So why did this affair seem any different?

The first time he wanted to kiss you was when you willingly offered your neck and blood to him. It was so vulnerable on your end, and as much as he could like the self bastard he was, Astarion sated his bloodlust with just your neck. He turned your head so that you wouldn’t have to see him.

The second time Astarion wanted to kiss you was when the cracks began to break in his barriers. I don't know how to be with someone, he said but you were still determined. Your hug had no ulterior motives to it. If his heart hadn’t stopped when he was turned by Cazzador, it felt as if it did when you touched him with care. He wanted to kiss your neck and let the trail continue but just held you instead.

The third time lingered before his confrontation with the one that took his life and tormented him for all these centuries. Would it be the first of many, or was this the last time he would feel your lips’ warmth?

The fourth time was in the aftermath of his triumph over Cazzador. Only there was a part of you that hesitated when he tried to touch you. You felt a twinge of pity for flinching away, but it was all too intense at once. There was the guilt that ate at your soul when you made plans to leave, and the words were right at the tip of Astarion’s tongue. Would kissing you make you stay? Or was it a damned selfish part on his end if he tried to force you to stay?

By the fifth time, you had crossed paths with him again. The old bittersweet memories came up between you two again. It was thought best to meet in a tavern but nothing was ever the same between you both. Even when the conversations appeared casual, your hands were itching towards each other until fingers then hands joined together. Then he pulled you close, and you didn’t deny his touch or when you felt him kiss you.

The Sun and Moon are never destined to be near each other, but whenever did the two of you ever stay the course of fate? A love such as this was always meant do defy the impossible.

I'd intrigued by BtoA Hob or Prayers, for the wip game. Mysteries are so compelling.

Yessss okay, so! BtoA Hob being Beta to Alpha Hob. It's a planned expanded version of this. I don't have much else written for it other than some notes here and there and a snippet or two.

Prayers was a fic idea I had where Hob stumbles across Dream's God/Worshipped kink? I don't know what it would be called, exactly. But Hob's half heartedly "praying" to him. More things like "wish I had your imagination now, love" or "wish you were here" but more prayer-ish?

Anyways, have some snippets!

BtoA:

"Hob?" Dream asks, his scent curling towards something sharper and Hob nearly cries again because he can smell that! He can detect the changes in Dream's scent for the first time. It's as clear as day to him and he shoves his face further into Dream's neck in response which only makes Dream more frantic. "Hob? What is wrong? Are you in pain?" "No," he manages, opening his mouth to better taste and smell Dream's scent as he nuzzles against the mark at his neck. "Only good. So good. So, so good. Mine. My love, my mate." And then he's giggling, his laughter shaking the both of them. "I can smell you. All of you," he says reverently, the words, the realization, holy. Their own personal gospel. And Hob knows, as he takes another breath in and drowns in Dream's essence that this is right. This whole journey, this emotionally taxing time was worth it and was right because Dream is his true mate. And suddenly Hob can't envision a world where that wasn't true.

Prayers:

“Really could use your brain right now, my Dream,” Hob’s voice calls out once more. Dream rests on his throne, listening to Lucienne’s latest reports concerning the West most skerries when he hears it. The words caress him, trailing over his arms with a more genuine wish than the last. “Send me a good dream, if you can hear me. One that’ll figure out how to finish up this damn paper.” Hob’s voice winds to a close, ending on an aggravated sigh. He turns his mind towards the dreamers of London and finds most of them well within the borders of his realm. It is late there. Hob should be asleep by now. Dream frowns. Standing, he turns to his librarian with a nod of his head. “Apologies, Lucienne. But there is a matter I must attend to.” Dream reaches into his coat pocket and pulls forth his sand. “Inform the Duke that he can expect a team send over to address his concerns with the island.” Lucienne bows, holding her clipboard against her chest. “Of course, my Lord. Might I ask where you are headed?” Sand spills between his fingers. “The Waking. I will not be long.” Dream slides between the worlds and lands on the hardwood floors just outside the door to Hob’s flat. The sky is dark, the moon high above the city, yet light streams out from under the front door. Dream knocks twice and waits. Before, he had simply appeared within Hob’s flat, however after startling Hob in the middle of his cooking, causing hot oil to spill over his lover’s hand, Dream has taken to the standard human entrance. He would not see Hob injured again due to something so simple. There is the gentle padding of footsteps from within and then the door creaks open. Hob’s hair closer resembles Dream’s own than it does his usual appearance. Strands fly out at every angle, clear signs that he has been running his hands through it rather aggressively. And though Hob’s eyes shine as they land on Dream, the droop of them is unmistakable. “Well, speak of the Devil,” Hob quips. Dream raise a brow which earns him a small chuckle as Hob shakes his head. “Nothing, nevermind you. Come on in.” He steps back, holding the door open. Dream steps inside, resting his hand atop Hob’s hip as his lover closes the door, locking it behind them. “It is late.” Hob sighs, stepping closer into Dream’s arms. He rests his forehead against the Endless’s shoulder, tucking his nose against his pale neck. Hob is warm against him. Dream cannot help but tilt his head to rest against Hob’s own.

I need to know your thoughts on Werewolf MC!

That's literally all the ask is, and because I had a moment where I seen Kate, sunglasses on and a leash with MC in her werewolf form with a collar on LMAO. I'm talking a huge 7 foot werewolf mc with a collar on and Kate smug

-💙

Hi frosty! 💙

This actually reminds me of those drawings of the Dimitrescus with a werewolf!MC. I love em. 🐺🫶

Is that what´s inspired this ask? Or did it just randomly come to mind? Asking cause I´m genuinely curious! :3

RIGHT SO-

I fucking love that idea. Especially with Kate parading MC around like "uhu, that´s right, look right here and take note of how awesome we are cause that ain´t something you wanna mess with". Totally smt I could see happening, LMAO.

Are we talking actual werewolf aka "children of the moon"? As in:

Or are we talking Twilight "werewolf" (shapeshifters, actually - still not over the fact they decided to just bulldoze over that tidbit of information in the movies, esp. BD Part 2 😤), as in:

I mean, both are fire. So I´m down with either. 🔥🤘

Oh man, the POSSIBILITIES. Also, let´s not forget MC would probs be a lot more durable and not as easy to break. Would be quite the relief for the sisters, for sure. 😅

But, THE POSSIBILITIES- 😭

Listen, MC would probs turn into her furry form solely for them belly rubs and head scratches. Yknow, totally taking advantage of the fact she´s got 3 beautiful ladies going "Awww" and "You´re just the cutest, aren´t you? Yessss you are" over her. 😭

...I mean, that´s their reaction regardless of the form MC takes, but it just hits differently when she´s not human. 🐺🥹

Okay listen-

Tanya Denali:

once she´s seen MC with a colar on, you can bet your ass it stays on

...regardless of her form

(new kink unlocked)

she´s always loved doggy style...but this takes things to another level entirely (she has thoughts, lemme tell ya)

quite enjoys the sight of other vampires clapping eyes on her huge ass werewolf!wife for the first time

...she´s proud af, let´s be honest

she´s glowing (and not just because of the sun)

also because MC is mighty

and that makes her feel mighty in return

their coven is strong

(it´s a leader thing...don´t judge her)

Kate Denali:

like you said, she´s smug

immensely so

in just about any situation, really

loves to mount MC like a prized steed

...both literally and figuratively

no, honestly: it´s adorable how much joy she gets out of riding on her (...like an actual horse, get yalls minds out of the gutter)

...she is quite curious about that doggy style though, it has to be said

roleplay (listen...something about treating her wife like an actual pet is just...it´s indescribable)

frequently begs MC to make them feral noises for her

I´m talking growling, snarling, howling-

she´ll join right in (also to see who can do it better)

Irina Denali:

lots of cuddles

and belly rubs

and nose rubs

any kind of rubs, really

loves to curl into MC when she´s sleeping

or laying on top of her

especially when she herself is reading

loves to run her fingers through all that...fluff

can´t get enough of hearing that adorable yipping MC (unintentionally) does when she gets excited

in fact, she finds it so endearing that she regularly asks MC to turn into a wolf

...however, it can´t be denied that she is rather curious about yknow what with her wife in wolf form

These are just some of their individual quirks. There´s lots of things the sisters have in common when it comes to wolfie!wife. Such as:

They love hunting together. There´s something so fascinating about wolfie!wife stalking her prey, nose going crazy when she catches a trace, muscles tensing as she sticks low to the ground, preparing for the ultimate lunge. So wild, yet graceful, and-

.

Thanks a lot for your ask! 🥰💋

S.a.M.S Human AU

Since you don't have the AU from beginning to end it doesn't all make sense. But Jack is a clone of Moon and Solar's DNA. Solar was making a cloning machine for fun, Moon walked into it not knowing what it was. When Solar tried to get him out their DNA combined to make Jack. Since it wasn't finished he has some issues. He has the mentality of a child but the body of an adult, though he's a bit shorter than Moon. Solar named him Jack because of the scarring around his mouth that looked like a Jack O Lantern.

They didn't originally treat Jack like a child, but the more they interacted with them the more it made sense.

Moon is autistic and so is Jack. So yeah autistic child often mistaken for an adult.

Monty dyed his hair orange/red.

I think that's all the information you need?? Enjoy the little thing.

--------------------

Monty opened the front door, Jack ran in. “Sun!” He excitedly ran up to Sun. Sun has been cleaning the living room.

“Oh, hey, Jack. Oh you got a- uh- pumpkin mask. Jack O’ Lantern or whatever.”

“It has a mouth like mine!”

“Yeah it does, bud.”

Monty smiled. “We went out and got him new clothes.”

“That's nice of you, Monty.”

Jack excitedly waved his arms. “I have wings!!” He put his hood on and turned around, his jacket had little pink dragon wings.

“Woah, awesome!”

“Yes! We went to The Hot Topic.”

“I assumed. Very fun.”

Monty put down two bags on the sofa. “Well, that's all. He's always welcome at my place. So are you, Sun. Or call me if you want to be by yourself, I can let you stay in one of my other houses.”

“Thank you, Monty.”

“Eh don't mention it.”

Jack ran over and hugged his torso. “Thank you, Montgomery!”

He rubbed Jack's head. “ ‘Course, kid. Be good for Uncle Sun.”

He nodded.

“He hasn't eaten yet because he said he wanted Dino nuggets, is that okay, Sun?”

“Oh, yeah. I'll make him some Dinosaur nuggets.”

“Dino nuggies!” he said.

“Yes, Jack, Dino nuggets.”

“Well, I'm off. Bye.”

“Goodbye!” Jack said.

“Bye,” Sun said.

Jack looked up at Sun. “We searched for Solar.”

“Oh…”

“I was unsuccessful in my mission.”

“J-Jack, he's dead.”

“We won't find him again?”

“No, Jack.”

He stared down at the ground.

“I'll start on the Dino nuggets.” Sun walked over to the kitchen.

“Nuggies!” Jack came running over.

“WAIT JACK THE FLOOR IS-”

Jack slipped and fell.

Sun stared at him. “Did that hurt?”

“I think I felt my bones go ka chunk.”

“T-t-that’s- Oh my god, are you okay?”

Jack hopped up. “Yessss.”

“Oh my god, you are so Solar's kid. I- Let's eat and I'll have Moon check for broken bones. Idk if he knows how to fix it but… well Eclipse does.” Sun pulled nuggets out of the freezer.

“Why do you dislike him?”

“Because, Jack, Eclipse has done horrible things.”

“What do you mean?”

“Why don't you hate him? I thought you shared memories with Moon- wait, you have memory loss, I forgot.”

“Yes.”

“Well, uh, Eclipse is a bad guy. He's, um, well… He just is. I can't tell you everything he's done.”

“Okay.”

Sun put the nuggets in the oven. “Well, your nuggets are cooking.”

“Can we watch Gravity Falls?”

“Oh, sure, bud. That's a good show.”

“Yay.”

“You- I love how you talk.”

-----------

I write chapters based on episodes. So this is based on when Jack got turned into a pumpkin thingie. Hence the mask and the new hoodie or whatever. At the moment I am showing you scenes tho. Like oneshots I guess.

Oh Jack did not break his bones, he was being dramatic. He did get bruised though. Even if he had broken a bone he would get back up and brush it off lol.

(Oh I have a Detective AU I'll post).

Okay but I think it’s about time we added this to the onlyfangs lore.

The girls finally convince Wednesday to begin her own page.

At first. Wednesday refuses. She’s happy enough watching her girls’ content, but when Enid makes a comment about how she likes doing it because it means she has her own money and doesn’t have to worry about her mom cutting her cards off, Wednesday has to pause to think. She doesn’t like relying on her family’s money, and until she finally publishes a novel, she has no money of her own. The girls’ audience have begged Wednesday to start a page, so she’s guaranteed a ton of followers straight away.

So she does it. Starts a page called @NaughtyRaven and she posts either the most deadpan nudes you’ve ever seen, literally just her standing in front of the mirror nude, no sexy poses, or she posts the most hardcore kinky shit anyone has ever seen.

Pain kink? Knife play? You got it. Her audience is oddly turned on when they realise the blood is real when Wednesday drags a blade gently across her tits. She fucks herself with those monster dildos that look like they’re tearing her in half. Anything extreme, she does it.

Public sex? Absolutely. Her first video with Yoko on her own page was the vampire railing Wednesday on a public bench in Jericho town square.

Werewolf sex where Enid fucks her during a full moon, fully wolfed out and the video ends with Wednesday covered in scratch marks, bites and a ton of potent werewolf cum? Those are her favourites.

Wednesday went from being the one who only wanted to behind the camera to being the one who makes content so kinky it puts yoko’s to shame.

Bonus: sometimes Wednesday does a live stream where she’s working on her novel but she’s naked. Sometimes, when she’s frustrated or suffering from writers block, she just pulls out this huge werewolf knotted dildo, fucks herself to orgasm and uses the post nut clarity to come up with a story idea.

OHHHH YESSSS! Honestly idk when I wanted to get Wednesday into OnlyFangs but I do love the idea of her not wanting to rely on her family’s fortune. Though her parents obviously wouldn’t mind supporting her, Wednesday still wants to work for wealth alone.

And honestly I find it funny that when Wednesday does do her nudes, it’s just her standing there like 🧍🏻‍♀️ no expression, no poses, nothing. Maybe she’ll try to copy some poses from her girlfriends but it’s clear that she doesn’t know what to do. Not that her girlfriends can help with that!

I think Wednesday would definitely go the hardcore route. I mean really hardcore, rough, extreme and even taboo sex. Some stuff that even Enid and Yoko couldn’t even think of doing. Stuff that if Enid even thought of she’d cry. Wednesday has a TOUGH pain tolerance. But also gets off to pain so really it’s a win win.

Wednesday would definitely use her spell book to help her out. One of the things she’s known for is having sex with herself. And by that I mean cloning multiple of herself and just going at it. Going to town. Maybe she’ll have threesomes. Or foursomes of herself. And she gets a TON of donations from that because of how hot it is.

[blue-howlite]

Hi)

Saw you wrote something for Pandora - such a pleasant suddenness ☺️

Could you write Xerxes Break x Reader one shot? 🥹 Maybe something when he wakes up and there she is to comfort him and reassure that he is still here?

Yessss I'm totally down for that! I love this idea it's just so cute and Xerxes deserves the love. I'll go with gender neutral reader if that's okay, I saw you used a feminine pronoun there but since there wasn't an explicit request for a fem reader I'll go with gn reader.

Xerxes Break x Reader, oneshot

Yn = Your name.

Type: pure fluff.

Warnings: some spoilers but that's to be expected, maybe a little thanatophobia trigger if you're very empathetic and sensitive, couple fluff and you and Xerxes being very intimate but that's it.

Author note: sorry for being so late, I had a sort of writer block but I'm happy to be back! Also sorry if it's kinda short. I'm guessing I'm the "quick but intense" kinda one shot writer at this point.

You woke up feeling a warmth pressing on your side.

You opened your eyes, only to find your partner, Xerxes, asleep and with his forehead touching your side, just below your chest. His expression was relaxed, although you couldn't say it was peaceful. There was something about it that made you worry about Xerxes.

As you looked up, you didn't see sunlight enter your room. The only light was the moon shining through your window, illuminating your lover's face. His body was messily wrapped under the sheets, as if he had moved in his sleep. He usually kept a little distance when sleeping, so you didn't feel his movements.

Gently, you placed a hand on his cheek. You immediately felt Xerxes lean in it.

«What's wrong?» you whispered, knowing he was awake by now, as you stroked his cheek with your thumb. He exhaled, then proceeded to bury his face in your side.

You turned so that he was now facing your chest, and hugged him. Xerxes didn't move, still pretending to be asleep.

You started gently stroking his hair and humming a tune, hoping that would soothe him enough to actually go back to sleep. Instead he hugged you, pulling you close and murmuring with his face still buried in your chest.

«If... if I open my eyes... I'm afraid I'll wake up from a dream... and I'll still be there, on the brink of death...» he said, his voice almost breaking.

You kissed his forehead, still stroking his hair with a hand and embracing him with the other arm.

«It's no dream, I promise. You survived, came back to me, and now we're in our room. It's alright.» you whispered softly.

He nodded, then turned his face to you and slowly opened his eye. Xerxes never talked about the trauma the experience of saving the world left in him. He never said how grateful he was to have made it out alive. He just stared into your eyes, slowly settling back into reality and fully waking up from the nightmare he just had. Even if you couldn't understand everything he went through and how he felt, you didn't need to; you just had to be there for him when he needed you the most and reassure him that he was there and alive.

He close his eyes and took a deep breath, then exhaled as he opened them again. You were still there, he was still hugging you, in your shared room. His face finally gained the peaceful expression he usually had in his sleep and his most intimate moments with you.

«I love you.» he murmured. His voice sounded real too.

«And I love you.» you responded. Your voice sounded real as well, which reassured him.

He settled himself in your arms, his cheek against your chest, his ear listening to your heartbeat, as his own hand found place on his chest, to feel his heartbeat. Like that, he fell asleep again, as you held him.

The world was safe, he was alive, you two were together. Everything was truly alright.

[ga-yuu]

-----Part 1-----

Sueharu: "There is something about you that turns me on."

Sueharu: "You're innocent, brave, reckless yet smart."

Sueharu: "I'm teasing you because I think you're cute. But then you have this sexy look on your face."

Sueharu: "I never get tired of it and I find myself getting more and more intrigued."

(I know.......I can't trust what Sueharu-san says)

The hungry glint in his one eye makes my heart clench.

This image overlapped with Sueharu-san as a child in my head.....

(I don't want to leave Sueharu-san alone, I want to get closer to him)

(---But we're enemies)

New impulses were held deep within my body.

Yoshino: ".....I'm going to go back to my room now."

Sueharu: "Aw? Now, I'll be lonely."

------Options-------

Full of lies

Me too

I'm not lonely at all

-------

I felt frustrated for being teased all the time that now I wanted to get back at him, maybe just a little bit.

Yoshino: "Me too."

Sueharu: "......."

Sueharu: "Heh, I guess we feel the same."

Sueharu-san smiled softly and came closer...

(Eh? Ah)

Sueharu: "Goodnight, Yoshino."

He kisses my bangs and I stopped breathing for a moment.

(If I react, I'll lose...)

I stood up and looked down at Sueharu-san.

Yoshino: ".....Goodnight, Sueharu-san."

The more conscious I become, the more my voice rises and I turn away to hide my hot face.

I left the room, pretending not to hear the laughter behind me.

After Yoshino leaves....

Sueharu: ".......I didn't think she'd think that I was being serious."

Sueharu quietly looked up at the moon from the porch.

Sueharu: "There's no way Yoshino can understand feelings that I don't even understand myself."

Sueharu: "I've slipped up a lot tonight, but..."

Gently he pressed his cheek with his hand.

Sueharu: "Am I that drunk? No way, not with that much....That's impossible."

The pale moon did not answer his mumbled questions.

............

Despite my restlessness at the unexpectedly close distance, the journey to Kyoto continued the next day....

A few days later, we finally arrived in Kyoto.

(The investigation is finally starting!)

Morinaga: "Well, me and Benkei will hide out in town to keep a low profile."

Sueharu: "I know. Yoshino and I will take care of the official investigation on our own."

Benkei: "Call me if you need me, Sueharu."

Sueharu: "Yes yes."

Benkei: "You idiot. You only say 'yes' once."

Sueharu: "Yesss."

Benkei: "Don't say 'yessss'."

Sueharu-san quickly avoided the fist dropped by Benkei.

Sueharu: "Ah, my face! Yoshino let's go!"

-----Part 2-----

Sueharu: "Ah, my face! Yoshino let's go!"

Yoshino: "Ah? Yes!"

Sueharu: "I'm so excited. It's just gonna be the two of us now."

Yoshino: "Stop saying it like that! This is not a date!"

Morinaga: "Don't forget about the mission, okay!"

Sueharu: *sighs* "I can't hear you."

(It's completely the same old Sueharu-san)

In the sun, the scar hidden by the eye patch suddenly comes to mind.

Sueharu-san's memories of the past.

(But I think what Sueharu-san is hiding behind this aloof attitude is....something much more heavy)

There is a part of Sueharu-san that neither Morinaga-san nor Benkei can touch.

Sueharu: "Yoshino?"

Yoshino: "N-Nothing."

I stopped thinking and looked at everyone's faces.

Yoshino: "Then I'll take my leave, Morinaga-san. Benkei."

Morinaga: "Yeah, good luck. If there's anything I can do to help, I will."

Benkei: "Be careful. Some of the nobles are scumbags."

Benkei: "Don't leave Sueharu's side as much as possible."

Yoshino: "Yes...! I'm sorry Sueharu-san, but you're going to have to stay with me for a while."

Sueharu: "Of course. Let's go----"

(Wow)

Sueharu-san takes my hand and easily interwines with his fingertips.

Yoshino: "Sueharu-san! Even if we don't hold hands...."

Sueharu: "You heard them right!? We have to stick as CLOSE as possible. I can't let go of a pretty girl like you. Let's turn right at the corner over there."

Yoshino: "Ah w-wait!"

Morinaga-san and Benkei see us off and we walked towards the mainstreet.

...........

Sueharu: "Look, Yoshino. This is what typical Kyoto is like."

Yoshino: "It's a very gorgeous town!"

Yoshino: "Kamakura is developing, but Kyoto has a different atmosphere."

(If it wasn't for the investigation, I'd like to walk around town)

Sueharu: "Kyoto is a town of court nobles. Kamakura is a town of the samurai."

Sueharu: "Don't be fooled by pretty looks. You could get yourself in trouble in Kyoto."

Yoshino: "I'll keep that in mind..."

Instinctively I straightened my back and nodded.

Yoshino: "By the way, what should we do about our investigation? Are we going to ask people who work in the official residences, or....?"

Sueharu: "No. I don't want to be bothered by it. It's a hassle and I'd rather connect with the person directly."

-----Part 3-----

Yoshino: "By the way, what should we do about our investigation? Are we going to ask people who work in the official residences, or....?"

Sueharu: "No. I don't want to be bothered by it. It's a hassle and I'd rather connect with the person directly."

(Huh? Directly?)

Yoshino: "The other party is a nobleman. Is it that easy to get through to them?"

Sueharu: "Itis..."

With a wicked smile, Sueharu-san held up his index finger.

Then....

A few hours late,. I was taken by Sueharu-san to a large mansion.

Yoshino: "Sueharu-san, where are we?"

Sueharu: "It's the residence of one of the court officials I lent money to. The subject of this investigation...should also be acquainted with Sadakatsu-sama."

(Lend money?)

While waiting for the court noble in the guest room, my eyes widened in surprise.

Yoshino: "A merchant gives loans to nobles....is that possible!?"

Sueharu: "You'd be surprised how many nobles spend money like it's hot water and end up poor."

Sueharu: "Since the rise of Yoritomo-kou, political power has been shifting to the samurai."

Sueharu-san replied matter-of-fact.

Sueharu: "Nobles like that, who is on the verge of collapsing but values their image, comes to me secretly."

(I know he's saying it lightly, but it's a big thing)

(No matter how high rank you are, you can't be as strong as the person who you owe money to, can you?)

Yoshino: "I think I now understand a little better what Sueharu-san meant when he said that 'merchants can also be strong'."

Sueharu: "See, I told you."

Sueharu-san smiles with a regretful smile.

Sueharu: "It's a good thing for me, that nobles with good family background want to avoid ugly stories."

Sueharu: "And when I give loans to them, it will also help me in times like this."

(Now I know why Morinaga-san asked Sueharu-san to investigate....)

As we chatted while we waited, the door opens...

Court noble: "Kichiji. What is the reason for you to come all the way here without any notice?"

Sueharu: "Sorry for coming without a notice, but it was an urgent matter."

Sueharu-san did not seem intimidated by the man who came in and said a few words.

Court noble: "And that woman over there?"

(...! He's asking about me!)

Sueharu: "Ah, my assistant, Yoshino."

-----Part 4-----

Court noble: "And that woman over there?"

(...! He's asking about me!)

Sueharu: "Ah, my assistant, Yoshino."

Court noble: "Assistant? That's unusual..."

Yoshino: "My name is Yoshino! Thank you for having me here!"

Court noble: "...Yeah."

The court noble looked at me suspiciously as I bowed my head.

Then he immediately turned to Sueharu-san.

Court noble: "I-If you're here for the money, it's still not due date yet."

The court noble spoke quickly as if he was trying to get Sueharu-san off his back in panic.

Sueharu: "No no. Don't worry about that. I'm here for another matter."

Sueharu: "You, with your generous heart, will grant this merchant's trifling wishes, right?"

(Despite the tone sounding polite, I can feel the intense pressure..!)

Court noble: "....W-What is it? Tell me."

Sueharu: "Well."

Sueharu: "I want you to host a banquet. Make it as extravagant as possible."

Court noble: "Banquet?"

Sueharu: "Do it for any reason and don't worry about the money. I'll pay for it no matter how costly it is. So don't hold back."

Court noble: "No..that's.."

I could see that the nobleman's heart was shaken as I watched from nearby.

Court noble: "But what is the purpose? How is it possible for someone like Kaneuri Kichiji to provide funds for free?"

Sueharu: "----Please don't pry. And please don't do anything extra other than what I ask you to."

The court noble's shoulder trembled as he was cut off bluntly.

(Even though Sueharu-san speaks very formally, his position seems higher than this person)

Sueharu-san suddenly narrowed his eye at the nobleman, whose shoulders slumped in agitation.

Sueharu: "It's not easy these days to have parties like in the past."

Sueharu: "It's a good way to show the prestige of your family."

Court noble: "T-That's true..but.."

A desire flickered in his eyes.

Court noble: "Okay. I'll do it."

Court noble: "Also, I'm not suppose to be telling people about the money, right?"

Sueharu: "Of course, I don't tell anyone. Pretend it's all yours."

Court noble: "Y-Yes."

(He's being completely manipulated by Sueharu-san but....he doesn't seem to be losing anything either. So it's fine, I guess?)

I was inwardly impressed by Sueharu-san's ability to use both candy and the whip.

Sueharu: "Oh yes, please invite the people mentioned on this list among the guests."

Sueharu: "Both me and Yoshino will also attend, and a few wealthy merchant families."

------Part 5------

Sueharu: "Oh yes, please invite the people mentioned on this list among the guests."

Sueharu: "Both me and Yoshino will also attend, and a few wealthy merchant families."

A list of names were given by Sueharu-san and there were several names in addition to Sadakatsu-sama.

(Maybe you seem to be making it difficult to understand that this is an investigation about Sadakatsu-sama)

Sueharu: "So that's one thing I'd like to ask you."

Sueharu: "I will send my men to you later to discuss the necessary arrangements."

Sueharu-san urged me and we quickly left the room.

............

Three days later...

Sueharu: "Well, let's see. Shall we change and go to the banquet, Yoshino?"

Yoshino: "Yes!"

We visited the mansion again and rented a guest room.

Yoshino: "I'm amazed that so many guests were able to attend on such a short notice."

Sueharu: "The court nobles like to throw big parties."

Sueharu: "And of course, Sadakatsu-sama will be there, too."

(I'm also accompanying Sueharu-san today....as his mistress at the banquet)

(It's okay. But I feel anxious)

Sueharu: "Yoshino."

Sueharu: "Are you, by chance, feeling weak?"

(How did you know!?)

Yoshino: "No, it's because...playing Sueharu-san's mistress is not a small role, right?"

Yoshino: "I've never ever spoken to upper-class people."

Sueharu: "Oh. That won't be a problem. Everything will be alright."

(He looks so light!)

Sueharu: "No matter what we look, we're all humans anyway."

Yoshino: "Hmm. I guess you're right.....?"

Tilting my head, I thought for a second.

Then a warm palm touched my back.

(Ah....)

Sueharu: "What kind of person you become depends on how you feel."

Sueharu: "Only a handful of people know who they are from the start."

He blinks and it felt strangely real.

Sueharu: "Hey, Yoshino. Do I look like one of those people?"

I stared back into Sueharu-san's eyes.

Yoshino: "Yes."

Yoshino: "....If I hadn't heard anything about your past."

Sueharu: "That's an honor."

(I wonder if Sueharu-san used to be anxious too)

Yoshino: "Sueharu----"

He pressed his index finger against my lip.

Yoshino: "Mm."

Sueharu: "Now, I'm going to cast a special spell on you."

Guide To Being A Bad Woman - Premium story

[peachshadows]

Yes! Thank you for letting me rant to you! I love drama 😂😂. Unfortunately for Azure when he tries to reinstate his title as empress wukong wont approve of it (why bother your just as good as an advisor as when you were my empress, you don’t need that title) not even the other nobles pushing themselves to be the new empress can catch Wukongs eyes.

They start turning to drastic measures pulling out archaic rules that the emperor has to take an empress, but a las Wukong is a stubborn monkey he didn’t get to be the emperor by following anyone’s rules. This new Wukong is vastly different from the one Azure admired so much, he’s harsher, crueler, and short tempered, (poor monkey is depressed) he lockes himself in his room (his room is still covered in macaques scent) and only comes out to due his Emperors duties.

I can imagine the plan doesn’t last too long, Chang’e would immediately be suspicious. If Macaque left he would have come home. She’d probably be the only one to speak out on how wrong that letter is, even the monkeys on FFM would be suspicious Macaque did mention his doubt in the celestial court life but he was willing to learn, it wasn’t that much different from Chang’es court. Chang’e or the monkeys send out spies, eventually Azure and Yelllowtusk slip up they speak out loudly in what they assume is a private hall about what to do to break thru Wukongs “heartbreak” and what to do about Macaque they can’t keep the scroll in the castle (Macaques magic is pulsing out for help, if anyone gets near they’ll know someone is sealed inside)

OOOOOO YES YESSSS I LOVE THAT!! MORE DRAMA

Chang'e would definitely inform Wukong how wrong the letter is especially considering Macaque never went back home to the moon so ofc this sets off major warning bells in Wukong's head so not only does Chang'e have spies but Wukong as well. So Azure, Yellow Tusk, and Peng are gonna slip one way or the other considering they have eyes constantly watching them (also cuz Wukong already has a hunch that they did something to his moonlight)

And Macaque is inside the scroll reliving his past life, the sweet childhood he had with Wukong in ffm and the burning of his home and people... Macaque just wants to go back home, to Wukong...he needs to escape.

Twenty Questions for Fic Writers 💫

thank you @decaflondonfog for the tag !! ill tag @sillyunicorn @starwarned @urban-sith @tea-brigade

1. How many works do you have on AO3?

98!! (woah) plus an unrevealed t&n fest fic, so 99. wow i need to do something rly crazy for 100 lol. what if i do a ridiculous crossover of all my fandoms and everyone in the fandom tags will hate me. 

2. What’s your total AO3 word count?

544,914. (again. woagh)

3. What fandoms do you write for?

mostly all for the game and simon snow series, have dabbled in & posted even less for check please, captain america, and one direction! i feel like i’m missing something but regardless my fixations are hardcore, so all except like 4k of that posted wc is for either aftg or ss hahahha

4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?

all are andreil! boyfriend privileges (4k, T) / Trigger (62k, E) / flashes of intimacy (10k, t) / Would you still love me if I was a worm? (6k, T) / Inside Thoughts (1k,T)

man this is long, rest is going under the cut lol

5. Do you respond to comments? Why or why not?

not very often, but i wish i did. i am stricken with a combination of being really awkward when people are nice to me & being bad at interacting with anyone in ways i fear could be perceived as ingenuine. im not sure if that makes sense LMAO. and sometimes when i put a story out, i kind of feel like i’ve said my piece — i’ve put so much into it that i don’t really know what else to say!

anyway, i always reply to questions, because that’s got clear social boundaries hahaha, and i DO love talking abt my stories!! and sometimes i’ll reply to comments that really get me thinking. but yeah, i know i reply less than i could, and i want to like double down on the fact that i am endlessly grateful for everyone who has ever left a comment on my work <3

6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?

i have killed simon snow twice lmfao. i’d actually classify icarus as rather hopeful — it’s about grief & healing. but legacies is just fucked up lmfao

7. What’s the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?

oh man, i write a lot of happy endings haha. i feel like even when my story is tonally darker (rare), it still has a happy or at least hopeful ending. this is probably not the correct answer, but i think sing of the moon has a really vividly happy ending. like — the sun rises for the first time in the whole fic! amazing. or maybe my high school au, We Can Live Forever, which is just the happiest thing i’ve ever written. 

8. Do you get hate on fics?

not really, thankfully! people are smartasses sometimes but overall ive been lucky. there have been a couple of fics where ive winced before hitting post, but it usually ends up fine

9. Do you write smut? If so, what kind?

yessss. i guess i mostly write tender smut, bc i write tender things in general. i think my smut tends to be rather exploratory/playful as well? intentionally sloppy and awkward choreography hahaha

10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest one you’ve written?

sort of LOL. once upon a time i was betaing @tea-brigade's medieval snowbaz au, Reliquary of an Arsonist, and there’s this part where three highway bandits mug simon and baz and then get blasted by simon’s chosen one magic. i am sick in the head so im in the google doc like “lol what if its kandreil.” and then i was like… what if it was kandreil….. and so i wrote Reliquary of a Bandit

11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?

i don’t think so

12. Have you ever had a fic translated?

yes!!! and i’m really thankful for everyone who has done so <3333 shoutout to russian aftg translators, yall go HARD

13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?

i recently collaborated with @thewholelemon on our episode of Star Trek: Redemption, Heart-Shaped Box. by which i mean: i wrote the outline & a few scenes, got really overwhelmed, and jenny turned it into something worth reading! 

i also wrote Good Boy in the snowbaz stoner verse with @starwarned, which was rly fun — we sat in the google doc for like, 5 hours trading back and forth on POVs as we wrote pure porn together LOL. it’s funny to think about this, because lauren knows like everything abt me now but we did not know each other as well back then!!! and we were just like “yeah lets write porn together” hahahahha 

14. What’s your all-time favourite ship?

right now it is deeefinitely andreil… they are everything to me for reasons i just cannot possibly be brief about LOL so ill just leave it at that

15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?

i have a postcanon snowbaz time travel/time loop wip that i was going to try to write for COBB this year but i fucked up the deadlines then the brainrot was like “guess that means more andreil !”. i did SO MUCH research for it and i think it’s rather clever and smutty and fun bc they are yeeted back to watford era! but it’s also dealing with snowbaz, who are in their late 20s and are like in a relationship low point/actively fighting when they end up in the loop… so they are dealing with that tension at the same time as they are trying to get out of the loop. and also fucking around watford to fulfill fantasies HAHAHA

16. What are your writing strengths?

characterization is the thing i care most about! and i think that’s the draw of fanfic in particular to me — i love getting such a grasp on a character that i can translate them into endless situations while still making them feel true to self. i rarely let myself publish anything until i can read through the whole thing without any he would not fucking say that moments hahahha. this is of course pertaining to my own interpretations of the characters, which is the only thing i care abt lmfao

17. What are your writing weaknesses?

i rely a lot on body language because im always writing abt reticent fuckers who cant use their words. but i think i sometimes overcompensate, or describe actions that don't actually fit the scene. i've seen this described as "cheek-biting" -- like, throwing in action during a conversation just to delay the pacing/further the tone, but when you really look at it, it's not necessary. (cheek-biting being like, "character bites at their cheek" in the middle of a tense conversation)

18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

i don’t really know any other languages! i think i’ve put a little bit of french in neil/kevin/baz POVs before, but my french knowledge is elementary at best. love the idea of it though.

19. First fandom you wrote for?

one direction babyyyyyyyy !! i wrote quite a bit of it in like 2012-2015 but published very little. there’s 1 on my ao3, some lost somewhere on fanfiction.net (i dont rmr my username lol), and tons in my folders from my old laptop lol.

20. Favourite fic you’ve written?

hmmmmm. im gonna cheat bc i cant pick a single favorite. i always say i think No Turning Back is some of my best writing from a craft standpoint, and it also includes my favorite type of conflict (andrew self-destructing lol). however, i reread both that fic & We Can Live Forever on a plane trip recently after not having touched either for 6+ months — and the solidness of We Can Live Forever actually surprised me, especially because i wrote the majority of that fic while i was stoned and also view it as just exceedingly silly. the world of it is just very rich, and also very very different from the typical character backstories, and i’m very proud of how much that reread played with my heartstrings.  

ok last one — there are several installments of my flashes of intimacy series that i come back to a lot, because i’m proud of what they each accomplish in 500 words. especially because i often turn to those when im trying to express my own emotions lol. specifically, my favorites are picking fights, i don’t mind, swimming lessons, and practicing gratitude.

that was such a bullshit and cocky way to answer this lmfaooooo. but tbh i am my own biggest fan and that is by design — i write stuff so that i can reread it months later and have it be perfectly catered to my tastes. i love all my fics <3

[celestialbruise]

-

Chu Wanning didn’t know what to do.

Her mind was a senseless whirl of panic. She had tried everything. Chu Wanning had scoured through every last book in her library, cover to cover, and still, her hands were empty. And shaking. She had all but ravaged Tanlang Elder’s office, cleaning every last drawer of priceless elixirs and potions and pills, had made the man try every trick in the book and make up a few of his own, and still, it was useless. Mo Ran would not wake up. 

Mo Ran lie there, her body still, cool to the touch, her countenance stone-cold and serene. The dark, inky strands of her hair spread out across her pillow, haloing her head. It was all so…peaceful, in the worst kind of way. It was such an ugly contrast to Mo Ran’s sun-bright smiles and incandescent laughter, her dancing, mischievous eyes, dark and alluring, violet-tinged under the moonlight. 

Chu Wanning refused to give up. She set off to journey to the farthest corners of the world in search of a cure. If that was what it took to bring Mo Ran back to life - bring Mo Ran back to her - no distance was impossible. Chu Wanning would find a way up to the moon, somehow, if that was what it would take.

For once, it had been a young Mo Ran earnestly entreating Shizun, pay attention to me, please.

Now it was Chu Wanning’s turn to get onto her knees and hold Mo Ran’s icy hand against her tear-stricken cheek, desperately pleading until she had gone hoarse, Mo Ran, wake up. Look at me, please. 

She left no stone unturned, no path unexplored. Chu Wanning braved deserts and frozen wastelands, storms and desolate droughts. She traveled through dark woods and villages that were all but abandoned, populated only by the sounds of mourning ghosts’ wails. She felt herself paling a shade closer to those lost spectors each and every day. 

But each precious herb and rare spirit stone, every ancient artifact and magical spell, all of the doctors in the land - none of these things could bring Mo Ran back to her. Her disciple lay on her bed, stuck in stasis, hands clasped neatly over the shallow rise and fall of her chest. 

Chu Wanning’s hope waned like the moon. Unlike the moon, however, it never waxed, never regained its light.

In this fashion, five years passed. 

Most anyone else would have long ago given up. They would have lit incense for Mo Ran and offered their blessings, but ultimately, their lives would still go on, time like a raging, unceasing river. But not Chu Wanning. 

Chu Wanning’s head was pillowed on Mo Ran’s shoulder, the tears that had fallen long go dried, leaving her hollowed-out and aching. She was something worse than numb. 

It was her fault. No one else thought so, but Chu Wanning knew that it was. If she had been quicker, stronger, smarter, better - if she could have stopped Mo Ran before that yao’s curse befell her, if it could have been her soul caught in eternal slumber instead - Chu Wanning wouldn’t hesitate to rewrite the past, to go back and change their fates so that it was her lying supine on this bed instead. 

The worst part? The beast had been eliminated. And the curse still hadn’t broken.

Chu Wanning fiercely refused to believe in absolutes, but under a sky that was strangely starless, she felt something inside of her crumble, falling to dust. 

A single tear slipped from her eye, trailing down the bridge of her nose, becoming caught on the wound she had bit into her lip. Chu Wanning choked back a wretched sob, gazing at Mo Ran - this shadow of Mo Ran, her disciple, a girl she had once loved.

“Won’t you wake up?” Chu Wanning whispered, her voice ragged and lovelorn. Mo ran’s lashes didn’t so much as flutter. Caught in the devastating throes of this unending delour, with no clear destination in sight, a trembling Chu Wanning leaned down, her chapped, bloody lips pressing against Mo Ran’s, bloodless and smooth. 

A twin pair of birds passed overhead, their caws lost to the whispering wind.

And then, suddenly, a gentle hand reached up to cup Chu Wanning’s cheek. 

“Shizun, don’t cry.”

Chu Wanning reeled back, more crystalline tears dripping down her cheeks. Her heart thumped against her ribs, painful and unsure. Could she believe it? Could she believe in the half-lidded, hazy eyes gazing up at her, flecked with dozens of violet, glittering stars? What if it was all just a dream.

But then another hand, warm and made of flesh and blood, laid against her other cheek, carefully drawing her face closer to Mo Ran’s, where a slow grin was beginning to break like the rising of the morning sun.

“Wanning, look at me,” Mo Ran repeated, her voice heaven’s call. “I’m here.”

Their lips met once more, the salt of tears quickly chased away by impassioned, red-hot blood, proof of life. 

[rogdona]

I have been thinking about our ocs mainly about which ocs of mine would be friends with your ocs and the idea of it is stuck in my head

i feel like Elias and Rogdona with Erick and Philip maybe

Oh and Ullula would probably get along with mother of all or the red moon

i don't know, what do you think?

who would get along with who in your opinion

YESSSS SAMEEE ITS BEEN IN MY HEAD THE WHOLE TIME I LOVE ITTTT💕💕💕💕

however im so sorry to say u chose the worst and most complicated ppl to be friends with ��😭😭

the thing w the first two is that it is VERY hard to get them to like u, however i think w some (A LOT OF) persistence u could maybe get them to begrudgingly admit u may be friends

the main conflict w those two however would b their morality and it clashing w ur characters...

i hateee putting characters on 'good guy' and 'bad guy' boxes but these two would definitely be badddd...

they go killing ppl and it isnt a 'noble' reasoning like killing horrible ppl they just get whoever they can kill without getting caught..if a kid wanders a lil too far....well 🤷

ur not gonna catch em crying either, neither feels bad ab it. elias is v goal oriented and justifies himself w that and rogdona.....well hes himself thats like a hobby to him 😵‍💫

elias is also veryyyy mistrustful so if ur character disagrees a lot w him hell be suspicious, and if they always agree w him hell also be suspicious AND if they also kill ppl hes not gonna trust em at all, ullula forbid they turn on him🙃🙃 despite all their time together he still doesnt truly trust rogdona

-

ULLULA AND THE OTHER GUYS HOWEVER!! i think they could b friends!!

i dont remember much ab mother of all (i rlly gotta reread the lore 😭😭) but u said the red moon was a god!!

i think ullula could get along w most god characters

u see, shes meant to be humanitys guide and protector, so if ur character is a force of pure good or evil she may not like them very much at first but she recognizes that conflict is necessary for guidance and protection to be needed, and peace is necessary for there to be a conclusion

ullula is also v skittish and tends to disappear at any sign of trouble thats out of her hands, but if they can deal with that im sure shell appreciate it and be a good friend

[hanafubukki]

Hihi Hana 〜⁠(⁠꒪⁠꒳⁠꒪⁠)⁠〜

Yes, I wanna know. I need to see this confirmed, like I think he really is the emperor's brother and that is implied in some moments. But they could also be bluffing, so idk

It's cool to have so people different everywhere, and I too hope the programs help them more!

Me too, I remember growing up watching Sailor moon and Sakura Cardcaptor and, they remain as my favorite animes to this day aaa

I know a little about sign language bcs I had to take this as a subject in college but it's a little complicated, as it is learning any language and the signs can be ambiguous sometimes so a slight different movement means something entirely different

Hello Lorkai 🫂💚💞

Okay, so, do you remember the episode with the pure consort? She had purple hair and she had to leave because she couldn’t give birth to children anymore? She gave birth at the same time the empress was and they gave the empress priority so that’s why she eventually lost her ability to have kids? Her hair color is the same as Jinshi.

She’s also the one that lost her child because of the honey incident.

So! Jinshi is implied to be the brother of the emperor. But it’s hidden and that’s why the brother doesn’t show up to events and such and jinshi works from the inside managing the palace. Thats why that whole sacred ritual took place and the guards wouldn’t let momo in.

(UTC for Jinshi actual identity spoilers)

But! It turns out the babies were switched at birth! Because the pure consort realized that her child would never be given priority and would face constant threats. So, her child was switched with the empress’

The empress’ child was the one that died from the honey incident and jinshi is the current emperor’s and the pure consort child. So technically, he should be the crown prince.

But no one knows this, only the pure consort, not even the emperor knew.

But later in the manga, it turns out someone knew )probably the one who switched them?) and they kind of revealed it to the emperor and co in a secret puzzle game.

I don’t remember the reactions but they were all surprised 🤔 don’t remember how this affects the palace tho.

But yeah! Surprise! ☺️

Sailor moon!! Card captor!! Yessss love them!!! Big influences of why I love celestial and flower motifs 💞💞

Oh yes! I heard about that! And it’s not universal either! So it changes based on country too 😮

[aldi-spice]

Retirement home anon again: I’d like to get your opinion on this (if you have one), it’s gonna be long sorry 💀

I bought Story of Seasons: A wonderful Life for the Nintendo switch which is a remake of the 2003 harvest moon a wonderful life.

I’ve bought other harvest moon/story of seasons games for the switch as well and honestly… I’m disappointed.

The character design lacks, they all look so dead and emotionless I don’t know how to explain it. The whole world looks like it’s straight out of Cocomelon. You also start with a gifted Cow and other things, that you’d normally not get in the originals and tbh it feels like they stripped all life away in all the newer versions, made it way easier in the beginning and tried to up the cuteness to a maximum which resulted in it looking like a kids show. The dialogs also turned so soft imo.

In harvest moon ds you straight up start with the mayor of mineral town insulting you and then the character (you) proceeding to try to kill him/punch him with an axe, a hammer, a scythe, even a watering can and in the end your dog bites him in the ass in a blackout screen.

It’s like how they took the sass out of the animal crossing characters with time and it just makes me sad. The new versions of the characters feel like lifeless copies :/

I‘m still hoping for more remakes and I’m still a big fan of the harvest moon/story of seasons franchise. But fields of Mistria honestly gave me the exact feeling I had when I got harvest moon ds on Christmas as a kid and started it up for the first time. I literally had a bit of a teary eye playing the demo and then the EA version of FoM 🥺

That’s also why I like FoM so much - it’s funny, it has innuendos, it’s made for adults/older teens despite it being cutely designed, the characters look and feel like they’re adults as well.

I‘m not trying to be mean to the newer games and I understand people enjoy playing them, hell I still buy them because I love the series, but they leave me hanging. ://

YESSSS I get it OMG it's so boring I have about 100 hours in PoOT (pioneers of olive town) and although I controversially found Harvest Moon One World better than Olive Town (I loved the open world concept and Jamil in particular), it was still kinda boring compared Stardew Valley which I bought as my first game for my switch back in 2019.

That day, I played SDV until 4 am, it was summer break and I just graduated highschool and it was magical playing SDV for the first time, I could barely put the game down for long enough to take care of myself lol.

And I get that exact same feeling again playing FoM, that kind of magical feeling where you're completly transported into a new world. I don't think ConcernedApe made SDV with children as a primary audience in mind, if he did he probably wouldn't have added depressed alocholic in there and I love it, I love a good story and good characters, inperfect characters with flaws, they feel way more real and more likable than the boring nice, polite ones we were getting in newer HM/SoS games. All I remember from PoOT is how claustrophobic the town feels, and how hard it was to decide who to marry because none of them was interesting enough, even Damon, the edgy biker boy, felt like he was taken straight from the Disney Channel. I want characters that I can call bastards, I want mean characters, they're the funniest to learn to love.

As for making the games way too easy, I'm not sure, I just remeber struggeling in older games but mostly because I was a child when I played them. I'm pretty sure you also could get a free cow in Animal Parade and in the tale of two towns but I could very well be wrong.

I'm not gonna lie, I never played Harvest Moon DS but that sounds hilarious, we need more of that back, and less Ned Flenders neighbors. That's another reason why I love SDV so much, Pam and Shane are so mean to the player at first (hell even Sebastian is kinda cold) but that's what makes them more compelling characters than the cast of PoOT, where frankly only the non-marriagable characters were interesting.

I think that's why I'm so obsessed with FoM right now, while yes the characters are so so nice, they're not boring and I don't even remember them by their niceness, Hayden is a super polite farmer, but I'd say his distinct traits are loud, open and so very passionate wbout farming, even his dialogue about being a good neighbor and lending you sugar is so much more memorable because he's so forward about it. I feel like most characters in this game can be described with a positive and a negative trait, which is what newer HM/SOS games lack, the balance between baby boy baby and bastard. And the dialogue in general is soooo good, I don't feel like I'm being talk down to, it feels like a normal conversation between adults, not between a child and their caretaker.

Laslty, thank god (NPC Studio) for the older characters, I feel like farming game fans are not in their teens (13-15) and more like in their twenties and up. We don't want to romace teens, we want something that doesn't feel illegal lol.

I totally agree anon, I love FoM so far and it has also made me super emotional playing this game. Ugh I can't wait for more content, I need to fall for this game harder.
