Zu, I can be a little horrible for what I'm saying but in Viking Au, Nightmare could have told Horror that Cross was planning to betray him to get rid of Cross... but also to get revenge on Horror (⁠●⁠´⁠⌓⁠`⁠●⁠)

Like you said he was pretty frail when he was smaller, and now he's got an important role. But he may still have resentments towards people in his village who have always been powerful enough not to be mocked. And Horror was the most powerful, so he was a bit of a scapegoat for his resentment (⁠๑⁠•⁠﹏⁠•⁠)

Oh you've got a point! Σ(-᷅_-᷄๑)

Nightmare was smart enough to turn the situation to his advantage against both of them at once (but miscalculated a bit anyway :')

Although it was advantageous for him to stay an advisor to the strongest monster of the tribe, since he could control Horror through his tips and “the will of the gods” (not always, unlucky, since Horror was a rather stubborn ruler ò_ó)

But after suffering enough, Nightmare finally found a gold mine, and he wasn't gonna leave it so soon.

Two Travelers & Their Discoveries

Aether x Albedo

A/N: Ehhh I guess writing Aether just activated this little something in my head that hissed: more more moooore. Alrighty then. Also remember my 2-part fics? This is gonna be one of them. Readers decide how it continues :3

Summary: Aether is on a trip with Albedo. It's their first time being alone together for so long. When Aether discovers something he didn't know about, their relationship might change forever.

Aether knew it was going to be great. Heck, it was quite the journey, but being out here in Natlan, exploring its beautiful nature and wildlife with Albedo by his side was just the best thing ever.

Seeing the look on his face whenever he discovered something. The way he was holding his sketchbook 24/7 just to make drawings of everything he admired. His little hums when he found something interesting, whether it was a plant, a bug, or specific minerals. Aether enjoyed all of these moments so much.

"It's amazing. Thank you, Traveler," Albedo said, and it wasn't the first time he thanked him.

Aether grinned and patted him on the back. Albedo kept thanking him as if he hadn't been able to come here on his own. True, it was Aether who practically convinced him and dragged him all the way here, knowing how much he would enjoy it. But to give him this much credit...

"I'm glad you're enjoying it," Aether said. He stepped closer to him and admired the scenery sketch Albedo had been working on just now.

"Can I see?" Aether asked. Albedo nodded and handed his sketchbook to him. Aether browsed through the recent sketches of the cutest Capybaras, Flowfire Birds and Saurians. He had seen Albedo at work, and although the drawings had all been quick, they looked like impressive pieces of artwork. He really was so talented.

Albedo actually wasn't the only one who was invited to join him to Natlan. Of course Aether had tried to bring some other friends from Mondstadt as well, inviting them for a well-deserved vacation they would never forget, but with the long distance and estimated time of the travel and all of their duties in the City of Freedom, no one else agreed to join.

Even Albedo almost refused. He couldn't leave Klee behind, nor give others like Jean, Lisa, Sucrose and Amber extra work of looking after her during the hours when he would usually do it, even when they kindly offered to help despite their busy schedules.

It was unexpected when it worked though; Aether proposed to leave Paimon behind to keep Klee company while they were away. Like, she wasn't Albedo, but she could definitely entertain Klee?

Salty and butthurt to be abandoned at first, Paimon had protested and whined about the suggestion, but when Klee overheard and already appeared very excited that Paimon was going to be in Mondstadt for a while, she eventually submitted.

They both agreed after all: Albedo deserved a holiday, and besides! - as Paimon had chirped: she had seen more than enough of Natlan anyway! Heh, well she may have, but Aether hadn't.

So this resulted in the most special quality time for Aether and Albedo, and even though Aether had already seen most of the places they visited, for him it also felt like a completely new experience now that Albedo was by his side. Thanks to him, he saw Natlan from a different perspective.

During their trip, Aether didn't just discover new things about the nation, but also many things about the creative alchemist. His cute little habit of doodling in his sketchbook before they went to sleep. The way his eyes would sparkle when he gazed into their campfires.

How shy he could be when Aether introduced him to his friends in Natlan and when they had dinner together. His fearlessness when trying out foreign food, but at the same time he had a rather small appetite and ate less than what Paimon would consume for example.

Also his curiosity with everything new he could discover. The way he could ramble on and on about the things he found interesting as soon as they were alone again.

Aether felt like their friendship was not going to be the same after this trip.

"What do you say? Camp or Teapot?"

There was nothing like freedom camping in Natlan's nature, but during some nights it was also more comfortable to retreat into Aether's Serenitea Pot Realm where they had all the space and luxury, and the most comfortable beds to sleep in.

"Camp."

Aether smiled when he heard Albedo's answer. "Good."

Camping also meant they would sleep closer to each other, making it cozier. In his Serenitea Mansions there were plenty of rooms and beds, not giving them a good reason to snuggle in bed together. Aether blushed. Not that he wanted to snuggle or something, but...

He stared at Albedo who was already setting up their tent.

"Aren't you going to help?" he asked kindly. Aether shook his head to cancel the flustering thoughts that flooded his mind and quickly joined.

"Y-yes!"

Another thing he learned about Albedo was that he was a professional camper. Who would've thought. But during their conversations, he learned all about Albedo's earlier journeys through Sumeru, and of course also the time he spent in Dragonspine, the woods in Mondstadt, and various parts of Liyue. The chief alchemist was quite the Traveler himself.

They ate the last of the leftovers from the meals they had received for their trip when they visited Mualani and the People of the Springs, and relaxed and chatted under the starry night sky.

Then they went into their tent and as usual, Albedo scribbled something in his sketchbook while Aether resumed his adventure in Xingqiu's newest novel. But this time, tired from the long walks and hikes and the many impressions, Albedo fell asleep mid-drawing before Aether could even finish one chapter.

"Heh, Albedo..." Aether said fondly. He reached out and gently stroked some of Albedo's hair from his face, before blushing and realizing that was not really a platonic thing to do.

He then gazed at Albedo's sketchbook and noticed two things. It seemed like it was a different sketchbook from the one Aether had seen earlier in the day. It was a little smaller, and also... was that...?

Very carefully, Aether reached out to grab the sketchbook and quietly took it away. Albedo didn't notice and continued to sleep. Holding his breath, Aether studied the drawing Albedo had been working on. This was unmistakably a person, not an animal or any scenery. To be more specific, it looked a lot like...

"Me?" Aether whispered. But not just him. He was... smiling? No, more like laughing. A huge laugh, as if he had heard the funniest joke or something.

Albedo hadn't finished the drawing yet so it was merely Aether's laughing face, but then he looked through the sketchbook at some of the older sketches and he gasped. What....

They were all him. Aether, Aether, and more Aether, and in a very specific situation. He was laughing, sometimes with his arms spread and fingers on his body, other times curling up while fingers seemed to poke his side and tummy - was he getting tickled?

Once he realized this, it was obvious actually, but just so hard to believe. They were all drawings of Aether getting tickled in different positions. Like not even in a lewd way, the Aether in the sketches was properly dressed and just laughing a lot, although one drawing did have his limbs trapped by vines while a pair of anonymous hands tickled him...

He felt his cheeks burn as he studied drawing after drawing. Why was Albedo drawing all this? Was it like a fantasy? Did he just choose this subject randomly and went with it? Hmm. Surely Aether couldn't deny he had some thoughts about Albedo as well, especially now that they were this much alone together.

But these were very specific. To think Albedo had been working on these right under his nose, how bold.

Still completely flustered, Aether checked every drawing while his heart skipped a beat.

[ccycloneblogging]

Here are some unfinished drawings!

All are quick sketches - most of which were made for a private discord server. I plan on going back and finishing some of theses, but not all of them.

Under a read more, just because there's a few of them, a long with some context listed below.

Context:

1) I like to think that the writers for the toons couldn't get away with Toon DogDay (AKA Cyrus) being more gay with his friends. Instead, they doubled down and added as much gay undertones as a 80s-90s cartoon would allow with Toon CatNap (Lunata) and Toon Kickin' (Trix).

These two ended up having so many possible romantic moments, but sadly Lunata always saw it as platonic - even after being pulled from their show.

2) Toon Poe (AKA Salem) and Toon Baba (Agatha). I was seeing if they would possibly make a cute ship. Also - petition to call the Poe X Baba ship Doom and Gloom.

3) Trix playing with the After Joy minis of Sam and Theo. He ends up visiting the two often, especially when he hits a low period with his depression. Though Lunata is Trix's best friend, Trix finds Sam and Theo to be comforting and is rather open with them. He's still trying to find a way to pay them back for all they've helped him.

4) Toon Icky (Temero) and Toon Touille (Tulio). Tulio likes to make fun of everyone and can be a real asshole. Temero is an easy target, though they hardly put up with his shit.

5) Toon Huggy and Toon Mommy would often visit each other before the HoJ occurred. They were quite close. Toon Huggy, being the gentleman he is, would often try to cheer her up with a little dance. She would often agree, and try to catch him off guard with flirts.

6) Cyrus and his children (After Joy Kickin's minis). He adores them all and insists on spoiling them. They are his babies, and nothing will change that.

7) Toon Huggy. This was meant to be a discord emote for the server. Maybe I'll finish it.

8) Just a quick doodle of Cyrus and Lunata. Dog brain moment.

[imnotasuperhero]

Turn your sadness into a rainbow.

Wanda Maximoff x Reader.

Summary: When your daughter is feeling down, you make it your mission to cheer her up. And if it's with the help of your wife, much better.

A/N: THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A SIMPLE DRABBLE! But once again, my muses came up with the extended version. So here you have day 3 of Promptober. Hope you enjoy this quick fic.

-

The closing of the front door had you looking up from your task at hand, sending Wanda a sheepish smile.

"Hello, my love," you greeted her as you extended your arms, waiting.

"Someone is way too happy at… 6:30 am," the brunette raised her sculpted eyebrow as she wrapped her arms around you. "What are you plotting?"

Allowing her to take a look at the scattered colored crayons and the unfinished project in front of you, you leaned against her side, sighing softly. "Ailin was feeling sad last night because you had to rush to work, so I thought about cheering her up." You smiled at the kiss on your cheek.

"What are we working on?" You could hear the confusion in her voice.

"Remember how back in elementary school we did the black painted sheet that showed different colors when you scrapped at it?"

"Sometimes I think you're too good to be true, even if I have no idea your way of thinking." Wanda smiled softly as she grabbed a yellow crayon and started to doodle on the white sheet.

"Just wait and see."

After a few more minutes, you both inspected the work of art and decided it was adequate for a 5-year-old before you covered the colorful drawings in black.

"I was thinking," Wanda broke the comfortable silence as you shared a cup of tea before the chaos of the day busied your day. "We could ask for Nat's cabin? I think it'll be good for the three of us to reconnect as a family?"

Hearing the guilt in Wanda's voice, you couldn't help frowning. "Don't get me wrong, I love the idea. But what's wrong?" You placed the empty cup down before moving to Wanda's chair, straddling her lap.

Sighing, she placed her arms around your waist. "I feel like I'm missing out on her life," the woman blinked rapidly twice, thrice, before she cleared her throat. "And once she knows about the baby," the tear rolling down Wanda's cheek had your thumb brushing it away with a softness you only held for your girls. "And the fact you have to take care-"

Cupping her face, you kissed her wet eyes before you smiled calmly. "She might be young, but she knows how much her mommy loves her, Wands." The pad of your thumbs caressed her wet cheeks. "She understands sometimes her mommy has to be a superhero," you patted yourself at Wanda's small smile.

"Being a doctor has been your dream since I've known you. And I know being a mom has been a challenge. But if you feeling fulfilled means I gotta hold the fort while you're away fighting diseases, then so be it. I make sure Ailin doesn't miss you that much," you winked, pulling a soft chuckle out of her.

The connection between your eyes had you shivering from the intensity of her gaze. But before you could get lost in that oh, so beautiful forest, Wanda hugged you with a force that only served to both; squeeze your heart and fill your lungs. "I couldn't do life without you," she spoke against your neck.

"Ehh… I'm having the bling-bling stuff," you laughed heartily when Wanda pinched your side. "I'm serious. We knew the possibilities and we're doing a great job at handling it."

"I love you, Detka," Wanda vowed softly and you felt as if a heating blanket was placed over your soul.

Before you could respond, the noises coming from the baby monitor on the table had you kissing her lips chastely. "Your baby needs you," you stood up turning off the walkie-talkie, smiling softly as Wanda went to your daughter's room to have a private bonding time.

A few minutes had passed when you heard giggles coming from the hallway, becoming louder and louder the closer your family got.

"Good morning, sunshine," you kissed your daughter's cheek soundly, accepting her hug.

"Mommy is here," her big green eyes shone with a light you'd never get tired of witnessing.

"I told you she'd be back. And she brought you something," you ignored Wanda's confused stare.

"What is it?" The small girl wiggled to be placed on the floor only to start an impromptu treasure hunt.

"Cold," you giggled when she reached for Wanda's bag.

You allowed her to wander for a few moments as you turned to Wanda, wrapping your arms around her neck. "You do the giving, I do the talking," you kissed her nose.

"You'll have dessert tonight." She pecked your lips before she grabbed your hand along the dried black sheet.

"What's this?" Ailin's confused brow inspected the dark paper, looking at you for an explanation after a few seconds.

"Remember what we talked about last night?" You took a dime out of the pocket of your sweatpants. At her nod, you continued. "Mommy wanted to show you a magic trick," you winked before turning to Wanda, who inhaled deeply before taking the coin out of your grip.

"Momma tells me all about you, you know?"

"Even when I'm not nice?" The fear in her features had you biting your laugh.

"Even then," Wanda chuckled softly. "But she also tells me when you feel sad, so I can make sure I can change that when I'm back," your wife patiently explained the knotted words in her mind.

"You see this black paper?" At the girl's nod, Wanda handed her the coin. "Scrap it off," she instructed, and Ailin obeyed her mom's instructions.

But nothing could have prepared you for the reaction you received.

"COLORS!" The toothy smile reflected the mirth she felt as she kept scrapping the sheet, uncovering the doodles you and Wanda had drawn before. "Mommy, look! There are colors!" She turned to your wife, who had unshed tears in her soft eyes.

"There are a lot of colors," she smiled and you felt alienated enough to interfere in such a delicate moment, so you just observed the scene unfold in front of you with warmth filling your insides.

But at Wanda's inability to keep speaking without crying, you took charge of the situation, squeezing her hand in support.

"That magic happens all the time, munchkin." You placed a hand on your daughter's shoulder, giggling when she extended her arms for you to pick her up.

"Whenever you feel sad, make sure you look for something colorful and you'll feel better,"

"Any color?" The kid asked interested.

"Any color you see. Let the comfort protect you from the sadness." you saw how your daughter processed the information she's just got.

"Can I see colors in people?" At her words, you exchanged a look with Wanda, who was equally confused as you.

"I suppose that's possible, yes."

"Okay, because I think of green when I see you."

"Oh, yes?" you tilted your head intrigued by her thinking, but saved it for another time. "And what color is Mommy?"

Ailin's eyes shifted from you to the woman sitting beside you as she pursed her lips, inspecting her mother for a moment.

"Mommy is orange!" She smiled cheekily.

It was Wanda's turn to tilt her head, curiosity written all over her face. "Why orange?"

"Because your hugs are warm like the fire," she explained nonchalantly and you felt your heart somersault Wanda's expression. So full of pure love and amazement.

"I love you, my baby." She took Ailin off your lap, holding her tight against her chest.

"I love you too, mommy."

Leaning down against the back of the couch, you basked in the realization that no matter how busy Wanda got, she would always have time for your daughter and that no matter what, the bond they shared was something unbreakable.

But it wasn't until later that day, when you were on your way back from the store, that your daughter healed the cracks in your heart once again.

"Mom, look!" The girl ran towards a pile of fallen leaves. "Can I bring it to mommy?" She showed you the orange leaf in her small hands, and you felt your heart grow ten times.

"She would love that," you smiled softly, making a mental note to have some tissues at hand when you had to comfort Wanda from her intensified emotions tonight.

It was right then, right there, that you made it your mission to shield them from the cruelty of life. Now more than ever, you made sure Ailin would always have her rainbow to fight her darkness.

Gu Shiye (All Beings Are Guilty) 

Thank for this video submission! Original video link can be found here if you'd like to follow along.

Meeting Incidents

Incident 1:

I followed Gu Shiye to the palace to handle his work. Today, he wasn't carrying me. There was quite a distance between the room and the palace.

He walked ahead, and I trailed behind. Coincidentally, his shadow under the lights fell beside my feet. Remembering what happened last night, I unceremoniously stepped on it. Gu Shiye, unsure if he had noticed anything, suddenly stopped. My forehead nearly bumped into his back. I grumbled a bit, then heard him say, "Keep up."

"Oh."

I quickened my pace to walk alongside him.

However, his strides were too long, and I struggled to keep up, so I couldn't help but tug on his sleeve.

"Can you slow down a bit? I can't keep up."

Just as I thought he would either slow down or ignore me, I suddenly felt a tightness around my waist.

My feet left the ground, and I was swept into his arms.

Before long, he carried me to the palace.

Incident 2:

As usual, I accompanied Gu Shiye while he worked in the palace. Today, he was indeed quite busy and had no time to pay attention to me.

With nothing to do, I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and started doodling. By the time I realized what I had drawn, it was already too late. I met Gu Shiye's darkened eyes and quickly covered my drawing with my hand, explaining, "Don't get me wrong, I wasn't drawing you!"

Gu Shiye didn't respond to my explanation. He pulled me towards him with one hand. He bit my lip, and I hissed in pain.

His eyes were dark, and his actions didn't stop until I was almost breathless. Then, he finally let me go. "Don't be mischievous."

Incident 3:

As Gu Shiye and I were flying above, I heard demons shouting below. I looked down and saw a group of demons gathered together, two of them in the middle engaged in a duel.

Cheers rose and fell, but the scene before my eyes was too bloody to look at directly.

It felt like I was watching a fight in a colosseum, and I couldn't help but tug on Gu Shiye's sleeve.

"What are they doing? Are they dueling?"

"Shouldn't you do something about this?"

However, Gu Shiye didn't even glance at them, only saying to me-- "This is how hell is. There's no need to interfere."

Incident 4:

Gu Shiye went out for a while.

Bored in the room, I casually rummaged through his closet and unexpectedly found a map of the Hell of Arrogance.

However, I had only taken a few glances at it in my hand when I heard a noise behind me.

"What are you doing?"

His cold voice reached my ears. I immediately stood up, hid the map behind my back, and shook my head vigorously.

"Nothing."

He pulled me towards him with his tail. The movement was so quick that I couldn't keep a firm grip on the map. He glanced down.

"I was bored and looked through your closet, and found this." Since he had discovered it, I decided to explain.

But Gu Shiye had an indifferent expression, making it difficult to discern his current mood.

Just before his hand could pinch my jaw, I simply closed my eyes, hooked my arms around his neck, tilted my head up slightly, leaned towards him, and kissed his lips.

This time, he didn't react, just looked at me with an emotionless gaze.

Incident 5:

Today, after a demon finished reporting his work, he presented Gu Shiye with a black box. It seemed to be a gift, or perhaps an offering.

I was a bit curious. After the demons left, I pointed to the black box and asked Gu Shiye, "Can I take a look?"

He didn't say anything, so I boldly reached out and took it. Opening it, I found a beautiful crystal I had never seen before.

I held it in my hand, intending to take a closer look.

Suddenly, a chill surged into my body, spreading from my limbs to my internal organs. In an instant, I was shivering from the cold.

I quickly put the crystal back in its place and turned to look at Gu Shiye, only to find that he had stopped what he was doing and was quietly watching me.

"What is this?" I asked, puzzled.

He didn't answer me. He let the cold invade me for a while before pulling me onto his lap, allowing me to cling tightly to him to relieve the chill in my body.

----

Card Story

After arriving here, I've always had trouble sleeping.

Either it takes a long time to coax myself to sleep, or the slightest noise wakes me from my dreams.

Today, I was woken up not long after falling asleep. I opened my eyes in a daze and saw Gu Shiye lying beside me.

His tail was dutifully draped over my leg.

But it wasn't as heavy as when he was awake, as if he had just casually placed it there. Occasionally, it would even twitch slightly against my leg.

I gently pushed it away.

Perhaps he was too tired these days, he didn't even notice me pushing his tail away and sneaking out of the room.

Since I had a rare opportunity to escape, I decided to look for a way to leave this place.

-

I sprinted along the familiar route, the desolate square and towering buildings coming into view.

The nighttime blizzard raged between the sky and the earth, the wind howling towards me, making it impossible to open my eyes.

I couldn't hold on for long.

What bad luck, I finally managed to escape, only to run into a blizzard.

Helpless, I stumbled towards another direction, seeking shelter, feeling for any source of heat and walking straight towards it.

Suddenly, I arrived at a place I had never been before.

Curiosity led me to peek inside. There wasn't a single ray of light within, pitch black, making it impossible to see the structure inside.

The ground was similar to the wasteland, but not as scorching, just somewhat warm.

This warmth gradually soothed my body, which had been shivering in the blizzard.

What is this place? Gu Shiye never mentioned it.

After some thought, I decided to go in.

I prepared my Silhouette and found some self-defense tools in the "God's shop", cautiously approaching.

I entered the darkness, unable to see the path. I was just about to find a light-emitting tool to use.

Suddenly, a rustling sound reached my ears.

???: Who's there?

Light appeared from somewhere, instantly illuminating the interior.

I saw hundreds of demonic eyes staring at me. They had strange shapes, fierce expressions, and held pickaxes in their hands, looking at me with curiosity and a hint of warning.

Some even took up attack stances, as if they were about to devour me in the next second.

Beads of sweat oozed from my back, and the chill that had been lingering within me vanished completely.

This place was filled with low-level demons, most of them living in groups. Some were lying on the ground, some were only two meters away from me.

I had inadvertently invaded their territory and was now surrounded.

They quickly got up, almost pouncing on me. I gripped my Silhouette, ready to fight them.

But then a flash of light appeared. It was the full moon emerging from behind the thick clouds, its light falling on the rapidly freezing ground, reflecting and creating the flash.

I squinted, still unable to discern the situation, when I saw Gu Shiye arrive behind me, standing on higher ground, holding a sharp sword, looking down at the scene.

He looked at those demons, including me.

Gu Shiye: Come here.

I looked at him and, without thinking too much, quickly walked back.

In the next second, the frost froze the surroundings, firmly pinning those demons in place. Bone-chilling flames burned them, and screams filled the air.

Gu Shiye stepped through the moonlight, approaching me step by step. He reached out and took me away.

-

Soon, I was back in his palace, but the treatment wasn't the same as before.

He sat high on his throne, knees bent, looking down at me. I knelt before him, his long black tail coiled around me, binding my hands and rendering them immobile.

The force was strong, hinting at his displeasure.

Gu Shiye: Not afraid of death?

His grip was tight, the scales constantly rubbing against my skin, the rough texture making my hands gradually redden.

I fought back tears.

Me: Easy, you're hurting me.

Me: I didn't know I wasn't allowed to go in there.

Gu Shiye: Why did you run?

Me: I don't know.

Gu Shiye: Don't know you were wrong?

Me: Um... no.

Gu Shiye: Hm.

His words hung in the air, and I didn't understand what he meant by that "Hm."

Before I could say another word, he abruptly raised his hand and gripped my jaw, forcing my mouth open.

Then, his other hand pressed against the back of my head, slowly stroking my hair. It seemed like a comforting gesture, but in reality, the force of his hand prevented me from moving even a little.

After a while, I couldn't bear it anymore. Tears uncontrollably spilled from my eyes, and he gently wiped them away with his fingertips, along with those on the corners of my lips. I struggled to speak, begging for mercy.

Me: I was wrong.

Me: I know I was wrong.

Me: Gu Shiye... please.

Soon, I felt his tail loosen its grip, but only from its binding hold.

It still formed a semi-circle in front of him, and I was within this semi-circle, as if imprisoned, with no chance of escape.

He pulled me onto his lap, his hands still moving, his cold and deep eyes fixed on me.

I noticed that his expression remained indifferent, with no trace of emotion to be found.

He said nothing, picked me up, and strode towards the room.

-

The pitch-black night, the thick darkness like an impenetrable ink, enveloped me tightly.

My consciousness gradually blurred, and I fell into a drowsy sleep.

The icy air, like fine needles, relentlessly invaded my body, making me tremble uncontrollably.

The chill seemed to freeze every inch of my skin, making it unbearable.

Instinctively, I subconsciously moved closer, until I brushed against his body. Like grasping at a lifeline, I clung tightly, seeking warmth from him.

His body heat transferred over, quickly dispelling the chill from my body. Then, it felt like something encircled me, and I was pulled by a force, pressed firmly against his chest.

-

I don't know how long I slept like that. When I woke up again, I saw Gu Shiye sitting opposite me, fully dressed, his eyes calmly watching me.

Then, he walked up to me, and looking down, he pinched my jaw.

I was forced to open my mouth and swallow everything he gave me, those things he said could be called food.

My stomach truly wasn't as hungry anymore.

But instead, the chill returned, like countless ice needles piercing my bone marrow, so cold that I felt I could die from hypothermia at any moment.

I couldn't care about anything else. As he turned to leave, I abruptly grabbed his wrist.

Perhaps Gu Shiye didn't have time to react, or perhaps he didn't intend to resist at all. I just pulled casually, and he sat down beside me.

He let me do whatever I wanted, sitting on his lap, leaning against his chest.

The chill was relieved, and I could breathe again. I rested briefly, then muffled a complaint against his chest.

Me: It's really too cold here.

Me: It's not suitable for humans at all.

Me: If this continues, I'll die.

Gu Shiye: You won't die.

Gu Shiye: With me here, you won't die.

No matter what I said, his tone remained indifferent.

Me: But, I'm really uncomfortable now.

Me: Even like this, I'm still very cold.

Me: Isn't there a warmer place here?

As soon as I said this, I remembered a wasteland he had taken me to before. Even just flying over it, I could feel the warmth, let alone being in it.

I asked Gu Shiye if he could take me there, just for a little while.

Perhaps it was because my attitude was too sincere, he agreed without any hesitation, then took me to the balcony of the palace, wrapped his arm around my waist, and jumped down from the top.

-

We passed through the empty square, through the towering buildings.

We arrived at the gray-black wasteland where blazing flames and rolling lava were buried underground, and the surface was full of cracks.

Wisps of heat emerged from it, relieving the chill on my body.

But I felt it wasn't enough, and I pushed my luck, asking if we could go down further.

Gu Shiye noticed that my body was gradually warming up, the heat source of the wasteland taking effect. After a brief pause, he took me down to the ground.

Lava and crevices were close at hand, the ground only half a meter away from me.

Gu Shiye held me steady, his long legs striding over the cracked crevices, silently walking on this wasteland.

Worried about falling, I also held him tightly, my arms wrapped around his neck, my chin gently resting on his shoulder.

I clung to him like a vine, not daring to make any unnecessary movements.

I don't know how long we walked like this. We walked until the heat from the wasteland made my palms sweat, and only then did Gu Shiye flap his wings and take me back to the room.

Every day after that, I would ask him to take me there.

Over time, a tacit understanding gradually formed. Every time he finished his work, he would always set aside free time to take me to the wasteland.

I spent every day with him, eating, sleeping, accompanying him at work, going for "walks" in the wasteland...

The unchanging rhythm of life inevitably became a bit boring and tedious.

I couldn't help but think, I've only been here for a while and I can't stand it, what about Gu Shiye?

Is he already used to it, or does he simply not care?

[miraclecherryblossomsblog]

these two are 3 hrs apart. Feel like even dating for a while it would take him a bit to tell his s/o "I love you" back

Headcanons an lore cuz fuck it we ball:

tw: long post, mentions of injury & blood

In my selfship my s/i didn't get affected enough for her body to change , however just like the rest she couldn't remember her name.

Ane was rather a quick thing she thot when it came to getting a name, not really wanting the tooth guy let destiny decide for her.

Her case was a special one. she can interact with the objects and "get stuck" glitch but she can very much get hurt and bleed. Her wounds unless deadly can heal a quicker rate than normal.

She does get hungry and thirsty, but can go days or even weeks without food but after a while her stomach will start to hurt BAD if she doesn't eat (thankfully the ai food helps with that)

has her own room like everyone else, two doors after pomni's.

Which speaking of Ane joined AFTER pomni (like maybe years after the series...not sure)

gets along the best with Gangle, sometimes they have drawing dates where they just talk and doodle away, sometimes they like to do art challenges and watch anime and stuff, jax calls them weirdos and ends up joining just to bother but he does watch the stuff (whose the weirdo now huh)

speaking of this asshole the first time he saw her bleed its when it marked something deep within Jax (it was his fault), he started to be more involved when it came to her acting as if he was being obligated to even tho no one asked him to accompany her when going to the adventures, or to stay with her as the others came by or to bring her food and water after a while of not eating. Seems that every sound she makes his ears automatically turn towards it.

There was a point where he would try everything for her to not go to the adventures cuz as much as he denied it he was scared shitless of her getting hurt or killed in the way cuz unlike them she can actually fucking die.

Anyway so like basically its back and forth with these two Ane wanting to understand Jax and him pushing and pulling at her as he didn't want to be vulnerable but also craved connection. It took him a while but once he had his first hug with her he wasn't letting go.

A/N: it getting late imma so imma stop here anyway gn

Prompt Request: hiii i haven’t seen as much shuri angst as i was hoping for (pretty sure i read it all) but could u do angst 3 into fluff 10? only if ur still accepting ofc, but if u do thank u 

Angst #3: “You mean nothing to me.”

Fluff #10: Behind someone who’s sitting down, leaning over to kiss the forehead (and potentially block their eyesight with hair falling in their face)

You fiddled with the kimoyo bracelet resting on your wrist as you waited for Shuri to return. She had just taken the heart shaped herb she had created to go against Namor. To say you were scared would be an understatement. You were terrified. She was going to war with a heavy heart. Namor murdered her mother and you couldn't even begin to think about what she was feeling. You wanted to try to talk her down. But her mind was made up. The door opened and you looked up to see Shuri holding a panther helmet. Her hair was braided back for battle and your heart sank. Her mantle. Her eyes softened as they landed on you and she reached for your hand. "What troubles you, my love?"

"You know what troubles me. I'm scared for you." You mumbled tightly holding onto her hand. She brushed your skin with her thumb with a knowing nod. "I have to do this." You shook your head not wanting to think about the endless way this could end. This could be a bloodbath or a suicide mission. 

"Shuri if you go into this with an ill heart it won't make the feeling go away. It will only make the void from her loss larger." You hated how blinded she was for vengeance. It's like everything you said went through one ear and out the other. "So if I go into battle my wounds won't heal. But if I don't go, my wounds still won't heal."

"I can help you heal them, Shuri. To make sure you don't bury yourself in your lab to run away from your feelings. I always have. But when you get like this you don't see that. You shut me out." You retorted and she sat the mantle down on the table. "You're saying I run away all the time?" 

"Shuri, that isn't what I meant and you know it. I need you to be honest with me." You held your composure not wanting her to be angry with you.

"What do you want me to say Y/N? That I don't care about anything anymore? You mean nothing to me? Because it's not true! I've proven time and time again it wasn't." She said, trying not to raise her voice. You suddenly felt like you shouldn't have come here. Starting a fight wasn't the way to go about this conversation and you now see that. She has proven more times over how devoted she was to you. How much she loved you. "I CANNOT risk losing you too."

"So you risk yourself? That I could lose you instead. What good comes out of that?" You questioned as she remained silent. She grabbed the panther helmet and turned to leave the lab. 

"I'll be back." The door closed after her and you didn't know I'd that was a promise or a statement. You sighed before turning to the computer in front of you. "Griot?"

"Yes Ms. Y/N?"

"Keep an eye on her please." With a clear of course, you left the lab for your shared room. You slowly looked around before grabbing the shirt she wore to bed a couple days ago. Bringing it to your nose you inhaled her scent and a sad smile forced its way to your lips. You went to your desk and started drawing small doodles of the heart shaped herb with your other hand under your chin. When Shuri returned she went to the lab to find you but you weren't there. 

"Ms. Y/N has gone to your shared quarters princess." She was quick on her feet and entered the room to see you sitting at your desk. Head tilting forward letting her know you fell asleep. She silently approached you seeing your sketches of the herb and she let a smile form on her lips. She stood behind you to lean over and place a soft kiss on your forehead. Your eyes flutter open only to be blinded by a bunch of curls in your face. You sat up and turned to see Shuri with a soft smile. You didn't say a word to her. She understood that you were upset with her and would give you your space for the night if you asked. But no. Instead you pulled her into a hug and cried on her shoulder. Happy for her safety. Shuri brought her arms up to your frame and held you as you cried. Cried for her. 

"It's over sthandwa. We have an alliance. Should keep us off Namor's radar for now." She said softly as you pulled away. You tilted her head down so you could kiss her forehead. "Baby, say something."

"Don't you ever make me worry like that again." You replied, resting your head on her chest. She smiled down at you while holding your waist. 

"I won't. Now let's get you into bed yeah?"

Injury prompt 26 HIII IM FROM THE DOODLE BUGS SERVER

I just answered another 26 but I just showed a screenshot so sure I can actually right smth rq

AND HIIIIII I love the doodle bugs, but that sever needs to be more active. I'll see about doing art/gaming streams or smth, might help draw in folks.

Anyways, prompt list... I wanna try adding a twist to this instead of smth like "oh no they passed out/presumed dead".

So here's some ghost possession. =)

26. "[Name]? [Name], this isn't funny. Please... stop."

(Leo gets possessed by a ghost yokai and scares the shit out of Mikey)

It was supposed to be a quick trip to the Hidden City. But of course that would be too much to ask from the turtles.

The brothers were searching for some ingredients that Draxum asked them to get. The oldest 3 were reluctant but Mikey has insisted they go. They went to the market to look for the ingredients and decided to divvy up to make things faster.

"We should stick in pairs.", Raph insisted. "No one is going anywhere solo, capiche?"

"We got it, Raph.", Leo rolled his eyes as he sauntered over to Mikey’s side.

Mikey knew that Raph was specifically talking about Leo. Yeah, ain't nobody letting his little...stunt go. Raph sighed at Leo’s attitude but said nothing more as he and Donnie walked off. Mikey went to turn to his red-eared brother only to find him 30 feet away already. Mikey quickly hurried over to him.

"Leo, come on! We gotta stick together!", Mikey called out.

"Then hurry up!"

Mikey huffed an annoyed sigh as he caught up, finding his brother beside a stall that sold some odd looking items. Ouija boards, tarot cards, specter orbs, and all different kinds of occult stuff. Yet, there's no one behind the counter. Leo grabbed a chunk of obsidian from a box and quickly tucked it in his pouch.

"Leo, put in back.", Mikey spat.

"Well, no one is stopping me. Plus, it looks cool and you know I can't resist shiny objects.", Leo smirked. "Now come on, let’s finish Draxum’s shooping list."

Leo started to walk off again and Mikey was getting particularly annoyed at his charades. But before he could follow after him, he noticed an info card beside the box Leo took the obsidian from.

"Tezcatlipoca; The Smoking Mirror. It is said that when you are able to see your reflection in the obsidian, you have found your true self."

...Okay, ominous.

Mikey begins to walk off after Leo when he hears a voice whisper very closely in his tympana.

"Give it back."

Mikey yelped and spun around. Who said that? But there was nobody there.

"GIVE IT BACK!!!", the voice shouted in his tympana. Loud and raspy and nasty.

"Give what back?! Where are you? Who are you?!", Mikey shouted as his eyes frantically look around the environment. He could feel that something or someone is here but he doesn't know where. "Are you some kind of invisible yokai??"

"Hmm, yes, you could say that.", the disembodied voice echoed. "A ghost yokai. The one running the occult stand. The occult stand where you turtles STOLE MY MERCHANDISE!!"

Suddenly Mikey felt a gust of wind past through him, sending chills over every part of his being. Shivering and trembling, the world warped in an inverted filter. It's all full of fog, it was hard for Mikey to see.

Then his head snapped around on its own.

A perfect 180, then the rest of his limbs followed. He tried to speak but...he couldn't. He was walking when every part of his mind screamed at him to stop but...he couldn't. He wasn't in control of his body. It was like he was being puppeted.

He was being possessed.

His legs started running, pushing through the crowd until Leo came back into the view.

"YOU THERE! LITTLE TERRAPIN!", Mikey’s own voice spoke beyond his control, interlaced with the loud and raspy tone of the ghost yokai.

Leo turned around, spotting Mikey and looked surprised.

"Woah, dude, what's with your voice?", Leo laughed.

"GIVE ME BACK MY MERCHANDISE YOU THEIF!"

October 2023 Art

for some reason i wrote a novel under the cut, for those of u actually reading, thank u for being so patient x

vvv dates + info under the cut vvv

1 - 03/10/2023 : another of my faves of last year, was trying to get better at drawing trainz, so just Edward and Toby hanging out, displaying the duality of old men x

2 - 04/10/2023 : got a new puter! one of the first things i set to doing after getting set up was to draw a Ru, of course, it was also just me trying to get used to the new MS paint..... it feels very odd

3, 4, 5 - 06/10/2023 : part 1 of redrawing random pics i have of Edward on my phone with my human version of him, this was really fun tbh, and the third here is one of my fave drawings of the year probs.. like sir.. those look heavy... what big uhh.. Glasses.. you have

6, 7, 8 - 07/10/2023 : part 2! i think i just like drawing his face... dare i say this train is cunty or will that get me exiled

9 - 08/10/2023 : something stupid i thought of and couldn't get out of my head for days so had to draw it..... little johnny from oingo boingo's only a lad, doing what he does best, fantasising about radios he wants oh so bad and running people down with a boyish craving for blood.. based on that 1 meme of the guy driving and thinking of a thing then making that insane face

10 - 09/10/2023 : based on that 1 silly vargskelethor song (that could not be less specific), had Shed 17 on the brain and was reminded of the milk song where the skeleton comes out.. thomarse dank 2 much milk and died..

11, 12 - 10/10/2023 : chooshada again :333 first a little doodle on my phone bc i was wondering about her livery, i do think she'd have originally been NER apple green but then painted NWR colours, butttt with a twist... coz i can do whatever i like... the twist is just that she's painted dark blue rather than a sky blue, coz its more her colour x

ALSO MS paint shada, wanted to draw her more uh, idk, detailed ig, idk i love this one, it also served as more train practice

13 - 13/10/2023 : previous one, but with COLOUR!! not much 2 say other than that shes very cute

14 - 18/10/2023 : saw a tweet abt old photos of engine crews posing with their crashed locos and how the NWR crews would do that, made me think of how, if Toni was (choo)shada's driver, she'd do that.. probably x .. very like her to slay in the midst of a terrible accident

15 - 22/10/2023 : predictably, i have some playlists for the ttte engines, one for Diesel which is notable here, so uhh, i have the scrapped song from the lorax "biggering" in there, bc i see it as like a Duck vs Diesel song, ik im surpassing several layers of cringe here but hear me out ok... i drew this at 2am coz i couldn't stop thinking of Duck lecturing Diesel

16, 17, 18 - 25/10/2023 : speaking of playlists, think i was listening to my Robin one here, and felt like drawing him, i have "the land of make believe" in there, which ive always found to be an oddly haunting song, so this is semi based on that, though that wouldn't be apparent if i hadn't just told u x .. this looks like vent art but tis not i was just having fun

also tiny chooshada, i was in the middle of writing something which i have literally Just remembered now and i was writing a scene where Ru is stuck between some characters who shes not looking forward to working with bc they're about to bicker the whole fuckin time and one of them thinks shes a dick, so i drew her being sad that shes forced to work with morons..... and speak of the devil, 3rd drawing is here with 2 of the aforementioned morons :D i think D+D take a liking to her, they're just a little obnoxious (love them for that)

19 - 27/10/2023 : a quick(ish) digital thing of Chooshada again that i did on the side of another project, more engine drawing practice he he, she'll be out of proportion and lacking detail but really it was just to not be too hard on myself about that, it did help i think to understand how to draw her more, plus just look at her lil face... also she has a number here, doesn't mean much other than 8 being her lucky number, other than 11, like those are just her numbers, suppose i could have it be 1188 to ref her bday, idfk x

Jimmy doodle/sketch dump in color ❤

(Ft. cameos of early concept art of my persona's new design. She's still a shapeshifting AI. Space buns are mandatory too.)

Please excuse any writing errors (yeah I mispelled "seperated" oops). The following is the text version of what's written.

First sketch page:

Thomas' Animal Friends s24 e22

Second sketch page (top to bottom, left to right)

I really liked how the expression came out before I added the lion costume so I seperated it.

Jimmy the canonical meow-meow

he's so adorable!

"Thomas' Animal Friends" (S.24 E.22)

*does anything but draw the wheels*

As I was writing this, the more I realized I could make a meme out of it so here it is.

Ok so now that's done with, I can ramble a bit about the drawings themselves.

I started this shortly after doing the Edward sketch dump that had the redraw of a scene from "Old Iron". I decided to draw out pre-rebuild Jimmy in a specific scene that I'm considering getting rid of and rewriting for something else. Poor baby. :[

Also the other sketch with the angy Jimmy is based on another scene in EoSR. Not saying where it's from as it is a bit of a spoiler lol (recently deleted a lot of posts where I did the opposite of that lol)

I couldn't help but draw James from that specifc screenshot. I was going to draw James in that outfit but when i finished drawing the "base", aka him without the costume, I really liked the expression I gave him. Nothing like the original screenshot xd but I really liked it so I seperated them.

Speaking of the lion costume, I had to adjust mine because damn, it just looked really off when I used the layout of the original screenshot. The odd shadow is supposed to be there as they're supposed to be the back legs. .3.

I'm pretty impressed with how I drew that specific James, despite his funnel being incorrectly placed (it should be right smack in the middle of his smokebox). I love this perspective in particular. Oh, and new details as thus one was using the most up-to-date design for him. :] (i avoided drawing the coupling, btw.)

And there's my persona, or at least quick doodles of my persona's new design. The crescent moon horns are gone, which were a mistake tbh. I didn't like them that much. The short hair and space buns stay though. Bottom right is my favorite.

This Door Is Not An Exit (2/3)

"It already happened?"

"Yes! Are you fucking stupid? Did you not hear me the first time?"

"No, boss, I heardja! It just don't make sense!"

"Fuck you mean, don't make sense?"

"It sounds like it ain't happened yet! We ain't seen nothin' happen in real time yet. Droog 'as only there by accident, right?"

There's a moment where both men in the room paused to look at each other. Spades looked up, Diamonds looked down. Then, they looked to the cell phone in Slick's hand, where Clubs had solved the argument they'd been having entirely by accident. 

Droog scratched the back of his head. 

"I mean—maybe we missed it!" 

The backpedaling was enough to fill the silence. All three people involved knew. His men couldn't walk on him like this. First Droog tells him he thinks he's fucking crazy, the Deuce being right. He was starting to think maybe he wasn't so sure about what was happening, after all. He set to reclaiming control of the conversation. "Call Boxcars. Tell the big guy to get you and get here. We need to talk."

"Wait, boss! Is Droog still there?" 

"Yeah. Why wouldn't 'e be?"

"Tell him I said hi!"

Again, Slick looked up at his right-hand and Droog looked down at his boss. Eyes locked in unspoken exasperation. "Uh, yeah," Spades grumbled. "Call Boxcars."

Click. 

==> <== FIRST

"They didn't take anything?"

"No."

"You really, really don't know what they were doing in there, Slick?"

"No," he growled into the phone receiver, "why the fuck would I know why they were breaking into my fucking hideout? If I knew, I would goddamn stop them when it happens!"

"Did you say when it happens?"

"Yes. That's what I goddamn said."

"So, it hasn't happened yet?"

This was fucking hopeless. It's as good as talking to a brick wall. At least a brick wall would be able to grasp why grabbing a guy by the past would have something to do with the future. That's assuming it was actually the past. That's all a hunch. That's why he was talking to a detective. To affirm his hunch. Because that's what detectives were supposed to do. Get hunches and shit. 

"No, shit for brains, it hasn't happened yet. He got him by the trail."

The way Sleuth hummed made him angry. It's obnoxious. He can almost see the guy leaned over that shitty desk, looking at something that didn't matter. Slick looked to the notepad at his side and picked up a pen. It's a quick doodle, a drawing of the idiot's hat, just to help him remember that he'd gotten around to calling about that incident earlier. 

"And why, exactly, are you calling me?"

"Because if they're fucking with me, it means they're going to murder you. When I'm gone, you're just another fish in this pond, Sleuth. Now, what do you make of it?"

[jaderimehardt]

Uhm, hello, hi, good evening? night? morning? early morning? It's 2:17am... So, my hours are royally borked... I guess being sick will do that to you... 🫠

I've been doodling a lot the past few days and looking up a lot of Youtube videos. When I say a lot, I mean a LOT.

A lot for me is already massive, so imagine multiplying that even further. That's... well... 🤯

At first I was looking for a way to put this pose I was trying to do in a better perspective. And then I was like y'know what, I know how to do that, it's just not coming out how I want it for some reason- so let me brush up on the pose method I typically do-

-And then I couldn't find the pose method I typically do.

... as if that method fell off the face of the planet. 🌍😵

Like, what?

So I went on a massive search for "my method" and in that search I found the official method for how I draw heads- which I didn't know was a method. I guess I've been doing it a lazy way all this time? So, now I can do a more structured version of that- holy wow. A method to the madness! (or I can continue being lazy, lol 🙃)

Before I continue and ramble on, let's start with the head method. It's called the Loomis Method. There's a ton of videos out there on Youtube and stuff but here's a good one:

His is 25 mins, and I understand not everyone has that much time to watch vids but it's worth it if you you're trying to learn something new and absorb info.

Here's another one teaching the same method in 9:30 mins. It's shorter and not as "refined" (with perfect circles. Who freehands perfect circles anyways? not me~ 🫠) but has more information packed into it about the method.

Honestly watching both wouldn't hurt as each of them bring something different to the table.

After finding that, I resumed my search for my pose method and came across something called Gesture Drawing. This isn't my method but it's pretty darn close to it, and it caught my attention.

I was looking up vid after vid- wow this is cool. The techniques used here have so much potential... but I'm on a mission here and I'm trying to get a thing done by Valentine's day.

I do think if someone is interested in getting into Gesture Drawing though, this is a good video:

Having watched so many vids, and of the dozens I DID watch, this felt the most complete and explanatory and thorough and easy to follow, etc 👍🏻

Finally in the late evening, I found what I was searching for. And it was in the Gesture Drawing category. The title of the video is called "Quick Pose Gesture Sketching" so to me it sounds like it's a mesh of Gesture and Sketching, but this is basically how I learned to sketch posing and I've been doing it this way for a long time. Its worked for me all this time and I've never felt a need to change my ways.

Or at least until this past week when I couldn't get a perspective on this one specific pose to work for me. It could just be that I haven't drawn in a very long time and everything is feeling off. I just need to tinker around in my art program and not on a sketchpad (because I was drawing with a pencil and paper for a change - which could be it too. I haven't done that for a few years now).

I guess I get to do that "tinkering" thing tomorrow because it's way too late....... this morning? *looks at the time* [3:05am] 👀 oof. I just wanted to share a handful of great helpful videos I found.

Remember a post ago, or a couple posts ago (I forget already) I posted my color palettes of my colored pencils? One of the artists I've been sharing vids of made a new video for working with small colored pencil sets and making a color wheel- essentially making your own colored sheet. It's handy if you're not too familiar with color theory;

[dokoni-mo]

So your wonderful sketches have sparked the fluff part of my brain with an idea!

What if bunny was an artist or simply liked doodling and they had a sketchbook. So maybe one day they left their sketchbook on the counter. And because Peepaw willy is nosy as fuck, he looks through it, and finds sketches of himself. Kinda a lot of sketches of him.

He’ll probably bring it up with his dear bunny, because they’re simply so cute to him. How sweet of them to doodle him💜. But personally i think this would be a disaster for three reasons.

1. Inflates his ego

2. Inflates his ego

3. Inflates his ego

Thoughts??

It depends on what you mean by a disaster tbh,, Like yes of course it's gonna inflate his ego to holy hell LMFAOO like just the thought of you sitting there on your own? Thinking of him so much that you draw him a bit of an embarrassing amount of times? Oh my god he is over the moon

You're not ever gonna share this information though. It's embarrassing, at least to you, so you'd never show him on your own. You'd show him some of the other things you draw, but never those ones. But you underestimate how nosy Will is. Especially when it comes to his bunny. He wants to know every single little thing about you, and he knows there's pages in that sketchbook he hasn't seen.

So when you leave your backpack unattended to whilst you're in the shower, of course he's gonna rummage through there. How could he not? When it's so easy? Besides, he's learning more about you. And, in turn, that'll help him take care of you better. Why wouldn't you like that?

He pours through your bag and digs out all your books and papers, reading over them all. He finds your handwriting cute, and some of your essays are actually interesting to him. He even finds some of the notes you pass back and forth to Michael during class.

He throws those away.

But oh what do we have here? Your sketchbook that you keep so heavily guarded. Why do you feel the need to hide things from him, little bun? Don't you trust him?

Shifting through the pages though, he quickly learns why you didn't share all the pages. Your art is somewhat stylized, but he can tell what those sketches are of.

Of him.

Pages and pages of him.

Oh bunny. Weren't you supposed to be focused on your lessons? Why are you doodling him in the margins of your notes then, hm? Did sir really occupy your mind that much? Oh sweetie, if you missed him that much, you were always welcome to come to his office. Just because you weren't in his bed didn't mean the two of you couldn't have some fun, not at all. Sir knows plenty of fun games he could show you there. You know you're always welcome, too.

Before he can delve too deep in his fantasies of you, you snatch the sketchbook out of his hands and slam it shut, your face beet-red. You had snuck up behind him after your shower, him too lost in his filthy thoughts to pay enough attention.

"What are you doing?" You ask him, feverishly with your sweet little eyes wide open.

He can't help but smirk as he steps closer to you, causing you to lean up against the kitchen counter with your sketchbook behind your back, "You know exactly what I'm doing, little bunny."

"I-It's not fair to look through my things like that... That's mean."

William chuckled as he placed each of his arms on the counter, pinning you in place as he leaned in close.

"Oh, sweet thing. You should know by now that sir doesn't ever play fair. Tell me," he said, only loud enough for you to hear, "When did you draw all those, hm?"

"I... " you trailed off, your gaze falling to the floor. William was quick to remedy this, using his large, strong hand to point your chin back up at him. His grey, lust-filled eyes staring into your timid ones.

"Answer me, bunny. Use your words like I taught you to."

Your face as getting hotter by the second, "It was... While I was bored doing homework..."

The brit tutted, "But that's when you should be paying attention to your studies, is it not?"

"Y-Yes... It is, sir."

William's other hand found its home on your waist, "But what were you doing instead, little one?"

He already knew the answer. He just wanted to hear you say it.

You bit the inside of your cheek, "I was... I was thinking about you. And that I missed you, sir..."

The older man let out a low groan from the back of his throat, a wash of pleasure rolling down his spine. Oh you just loved him that much, didn't you bunny? He just made you feel that good, didn't he? Where that's all you could ever think about? Only him? Precious rabbit. If only you knew just how much he thought of you.

William's thumb pressed against your bottom lip as he studied your face, the tightness in his pants becoming hard to ignore.

"Oh, bunny," he cooed, "whatever will I do with you? I'm not sure whether if its appropriate to punish you or reward you."

The brit's thumb slid across on your lips as you spoke.

"Th-that's for you to decide, sir."

His smirk depended at your words, the pressure in his pants too hard to ignore now.

Perhaps you could help with that, wouldn't you?

"I suppose it is, isn't it? Good bunny. On your knees, little one. Now."

hiii i haven’t seen as much shuri angst as i was hoping for (pretty sure i read it all) but could u do angst 3 into fluff 10? only if ur still accepting ofc, but if u do thank u🫶🏾

Angst #3: “You mean nothing to me.”

Fluff #10: Behind someone who’s sitting down, leaning over to kiss the forehead (and potentially block their eyesight with hair falling in their face)

Author's Note: Hopefully this one is good. I'm not that great with angst lol.

You fiddled with the kimoyo bracelet resting on your wrist as you waited for Shuri to return. She had just taken the heart shaped herb she had created to go against Namor. To say you were scared would be an understatement. You were terrified. She was going to war with a heavy heart. Namor murdered her mother and you couldn't even begin to think about what she was feeling. You wanted to try to talk her down. But her mind was made up. The door opened and you looked up to see Shuri holding a panther helmet. Her hair was braided back for battle and your heart sank. Her mantle. Her eyes softened as they landed on you and she reached for your hand. "What troubles you, my love?"

"You know what troubles me. I'm scared for you." You mumbled tightly holding onto her hand. She brushed your skin with her thumb with a knowing nod. "I have to do this." You shook your head not wanting to think about the endless way this could end. This could be a bloodbath or a suicide mission. 

"Shuri if you go into this with an ill heart it won't make the feeling go away. It will only make the void from her loss larger." You hated how blinded she was for vengeance. It's like everything you said went through one ear and out the other. "So if I go into battle my wounds won't heal. But if I don't go, my wounds still won't heal."

"I can help you heal them, Shuri. To make sure you don't bury yourself in your lab to run away from your feelings. I always have. But when you get like this you don't see that. You shut me out." You retorted and she sat the mantle down on the table. "You're saying I run away all the time?" 

"Shuri, that isn't what I meant and you know it. I need you to be honest with me." You held your composure not wanting her to be angry with you.

"What do you want me to say Y/N? That I don't care about anything anymore? You mean nothing to me? Because it's not true! I've proven time and time again it wasn't." She said, trying not to raise her voice. You suddenly felt like you shouldn't have come here. Starting a fight wasn't the way to go about this conversation and you now see that. She has proven more times over how devoted she was to you. How much she loved you. "I CANNOT risk losing you too."

"So you risk yourself? That I could lose you instead. What good comes out of that?" You questioned as she remained silent. She grabbed the panther helmet and turned to leave the lab. 

"I'll be back." The door closed after her and you didn't know I'd that was a promise or a statement. You sighed before turning to the computer in front of you. "Griot?"

"Yes Ms. Y/N?"

"Keep an eye on her please." With a clear of course, you left the lab for your shared room. You slowly looked around before grabbing the shirt she wore to bed a couple days ago. Bringing it to your nose you inhaled her scent and a sad smile forced its way to your lips. You went to your desk and started drawing small doodles of the heart shaped herb with your other hand under your chin. When Shuri returned she went to the lab to find you but you weren't there. 

"Ms. Y/N has gone to your shared quarters princess." She was quick on her feet and entered the room to see you sitting at your desk. Head tilting forward letting her know you fell asleep. She silently approached you seeing your sketches of the herb and she let a smile form on her lips. She stood behind you to lean over and place a soft kiss on your forehead. Your eyes flutter open only to be blinded by a bunch of curls in your face. You sat up and turned to see Shuri with a soft smile. You didn't say a word to her. She understood that you were upset with her and would give you your space for the night if you asked. But no. Instead you pulled her into a hug and cried on her shoulder. Happy for her safety. Shuri brought her arms up to your frame and held you as you cried. Cried for her. 

"It's over sthandwa. We have an alliance. Should keep us off Namor's radar for now." She said softly as you pulled away. You tilted her head down so you could kiss her forehead. "Baby, say something."

"Don't you ever make me worry like that again." You replied, resting your head on her chest. She smiled down at you while holding your waist. 

"I won't. Now let's get you into bed yeah?"
