[ofluckandmagic]

Alias: Lady Blanc, Number 28, Pandora’s Box

Age: 34

Gender: Bigender

Pronouns: She/He

Species: Human

Eye color: Silver

Hair color: Auburn

Brief summary: 

One of the 43 children born on Oct 1st 1989, Sable is a strong willed and stubborn engineering graduate, who works as a Mechanic in a small town just outside The City. She is well aware of her abilities, but struggles to control and maintain them. On the 9th hour of the 7th day, when the moon moves from one phase to another, Sable’s abilities shift. Often referred to as a ‘living, breathing Pandora’s Box’ by his parents, Sable lacks control over most of his abilities.

Due to this fluctuating state of powers, Sable keeps to herself, and makes an effort to seem ‘normal’. This comes at the cost of only having control of 2 of his eight abilities. Which makes the other lunar phases complicated. Unbeknownst to Sable, her parents work in tandem with the Commission. Despite this, he keeps a positive outlook on life, and tries her best to ignore how both her parents’ suspicious activity.

“Wait, this is supposed to be relaxing?”

alternatively: TWST cast discover ways in which animal crossing: nh should not be played

once upon a time my playstyle was the entirety of ace’s section and then i thought “what if it was Worse” and this post was born

warnings: swearing, the aggravating process of getting villagers to move out, tom nook slander

Riddle

claims he doesn’t choose favourites but everyone & their mother knows he’s particularly fond of Merengue

would participate in the stalk market because he wakes up at 6AM like a maniac

also because he refuses to time travel

has a very neat island. he uses whatever time he can to improve on his island layout and is a very good form of stress relief for him

finally, a good coping method

gifts his villagers fruit most of the time, but will occasionally give them furniture and stuffed animals 

taken back by Pietro’s appearance in his campsite but now he is appointed the court jester

will tell no one that he adores the music in Pietro’s house

gets gold roses the quickest out of his classmates, but now he’s struggling with a major flower infestation

pls it won’t stop raining and he’s getting buried in petals

he really plays this game just to garden. this is not animal crossing this is Gardener Riddle Simulator now 

when he gets visitors, he demands they greet every villager in town as well. its the polite thing to do, after all

blathers is a fine lad but there’s one thing about him that really irks riddle

why is he complaining about doing his job?

he owns a museum, he asks for donations, and lets his personal bias get the better of him if given a bug (he says, yk, like a hypocrite)

bugs are part of the island and fit the criteria of things blathers asks for. there is even an entire wing of the museum dedicated to insects.

even if he has a distaste for bugs, the least the owl can do is his job. no one likes a biased educator

riddle wears a pretty little shirt customed designed with stars by sebek

cute, it’s really cute. except those stars are pentagrams, and both the wearer and designer still think they are a neat star pattern 

this was a relaxing game until riddle found out about the island rating system 

he will settle for no less than a 6, yes, six star rating

the bulletin board isn’t used for announcements it’s used for impromptu laws he declared

such laws include no vandalizing the board (only applies to ace), no slander towards one another (watch ur tone, Blanche), no tampering with the able sisters displays (he sees you, azul), and what looks like a wanted ad for Redd

yeah, it seems that azul & riddle have a common goal

sending literal long ass letters to his villagers if he catches them being mean to each other. 

after being enraged by the character limit because he wasnt finISHED, he settled for reporting them to isabelle

the peace era lasted a week

Trey

he loves the squirrel villagers so much, namely Mint. i’ll give you two guesses as to why

besides Mint he has a unique fascination for Blaire because she’s got the attitude of his classmates 😭😭

has the most variety of villager personality types on his island. the most normal villagers he’s had on there have peaked at 2 at one time. he likes the variety

or maybe he likes to convince himself hes the most normal one there who knows

gifts his villagers sunglasses when it’s sunny but then they kinda look like douches especially his jock villagers

keeps Flora on his island specifically so riddle can come visit her and chat in her home

it’s like an unbirthday party, but without any of the work #hallelujah

unsurprisingly his bathroom is the most furnished room in his home. other than that, he loves to decorate the outside of his house with flowers and has a constant rotation of wreaths on his door

big fan of Mable and Sable, they’re so sweet, reminds him of his go-to hedgehogs in croquet 

accidental dealer of furniture in heartslabyul

heartslabyul student C wanted a nice moon rug and asked trey if he knew how to get one, and trey went the extra mile to find & give it to him himself

the story spread and now all his students come ask him for stuff

he did not ask for this job </3

stocks up on mystery floorings and wallpapers whenever Saharah comes to visit

perhaps it is in his heartslabyul soul to make everything in his house whack

10000% laughs at the dad jokes in this game

let out a hearty ass chuckle at "i caught a snapper! its pretty dapper!"

no one but trey thinks they’re funny. clever maybe, but not funny

every time he sees C.J he points him out to cater and asks him about his hidden beaver relative

they talk the EXACT SAME. and trey thinks hes so funny for this (okay acc hes so right for this one)

everyone’s least favourite villager has to have some fans and that fan is trey. he has major “i can fix them” energy therefore he would love the most unpopular villagers

and by love i mean he is the only one that disapproves when lilia and leona form a temporary alliance to chase Barold around the island to hit him with nets 

Cater

you know damn well he went for the customizable phone case first

that horrific ugly phone case is so persistent in its survival that it transcends beyond the physical realm to do so

doodling on everyone’s bulletin boards so they get messages from their favourite senior <3

keeps one or two peppy villagers, but ultimately enjoys the chill of normal and lazy villagers the most

theyre just so kind.. and supportive :((

wants to collect all of the heart themed characters because they are pink and cute and full of love (is he convincing others or himself?)

ironically he doesnt end up collecting any of those villagers and his favourite villager is Cousteau because he has a funny mustache

let his favourite villager leave when they ask. he takes this so personally. thinks they didn’t wanna be there </3

Cousteau immediately went to rooks island too like. bruh okay then a fake french for a fake french >:(

cater now has a new favourite villager and it is Nate. they are besties, they are 4lyfers, he gets the best flowers around his house and the rarest of fruit

passes off the furniture he doesnt want to deuce and tells them they're gifts😭😭

obsessively putting smiley faces everywhere in his home to resemble his own room (???)

has matching mama bears with trey but instead of putting it inside it guards his house from the outside

having an identity crisis after the C.J comparison

he is not beating the C.J allegations but he loves to catch fish for him so they can take photos together

has a legitimate fear of Lloid because of the hollow eyes that crazy thing has. its like he can see into your soul 

because cater wants Lloid out of his island pronto he doesn’t wait for donations from his villagers he just pays up front

go away ASAP s’il vous plait🙏🙏

if you thought his dialogue consisted of 60% kaomoji before, its upped to the ninteys now

he's found a way to perform the reactions IRL and hasnt stopped since

in fact this is caters and kalims main form of communication

has a vacation area on the beach specifically designed with jamil in mind

not that jamil never visits, but his visits have increased to just chillax and take photos 

jamil is noticeably kinder to cater, and ruggie is seething in the back (gotta respect ur elders or smth idk)

has a million different fruit trees everywhere for the sake of fruit jokes

this is fruity island now, leave your zebra merch at the airport

unfortunately he gets unsatisfied with his island or villagers and wipes the file once every few months to start anew again

and because he’s indecisive, his name and island name will be the exact same too. 

rip to his classmates that have to scroll through 5 cater copies to find his current file. this is not how they imagined Split Card was supposed to be used for

Ace

uses the type in your own answer function for evil

makes his villagers call him weird names and makes them say inappropriate things

vendetta against the smug villagers. they sound like his bossy brother and grim

Wart Jr. happens to be his favourite villager. he’s never explained why

but grim & deuce say that he and ace both share the same smug ass look

ace does not agree with this statement

unspoken agreement from the dorm to not let ace into their world but he finds a way to break in and vandalizes their notice boards for the trouble

gave Hamlet a hamster cage and laughed when he displayed it

why cant he be nice😔

karma does come back around though, and it came in the form of Francine moving onto aces island

ace has never felt so much rage in a seemingly relaxing game

he doesnt even have a good reason for disliking her either she’s just too vibrantly blue for his liking

now all of the first years terrorize him with homemade good morning gifs of Francine that they edit themselves

high effort to cause ace as much inconvenience as possible, of course

his friends hate him because he blows up their console with “Ace Trappola is Online!” from all his time travelling

he’s trying to get this bitchass villager to move out why the hell is the STUPID bubble on everyone else but Francine!!?!?!?

100000% ready to reset his island just to purge his console of that damn bunny

hes so lucky that riddle does not do island inspections because his console would be forcibly taken away

at least isabelle is nice about it, but riddle would flame him

way too lazy to make his own custom designs so he steals them and subjects all his villagers to them

despite all of the chaos he sows, he’s one of the best terraformers and genuinely helps grim with his island. still bullies him the whole time tho💀

he reaches extremely high friendships with his villagers

yeah hes been working hard on the DL why is that so surprising >:(

Deuce

he loves Celia

he imagines this is what those indentured princesses in the fairy tales look like before their big transformation

plus Celia looks and is so friendly. she reminds him of his neighbours back home

making a gift out of anything he finds in the nook store.

wraps all his gifts too! has a bunch of wrapping to choose from to match his villagers. his villagers deserve the most!

gets giddy every time he receives a letter from Mom. gets angy that he cannot send letters or gifts back to her

at first he didnt really vibe with Cherry's punk look but shes got a soft place in deuces heart now. appearances can be deceiving and he respects that (some say he has a RBF). Celia has competition

sebek had told deuce that he and Cherry look alike and deuce pestered sebek for a while asking how to look less like a bad boy :((

even in game ace & deuce have matching everything. ace has Hamlet and deuce has Hamphrey to match

they both complain endlessly about their matching stuff but always refuse when their villagers request to move out

still keep up appearances though, they start wars trying to nab a villager the other wanted first

keeps being bitten by wasps because he doesnt know you can catch them with nets

whenever riddle visits he runs around and picks up weeds for him without scolding him

takes his job as the island representative very seriously. you will not catch him slacking in making sure his island is a well decorated habitat 

hasn’t gotten the hang of custom designs but trades the holiday DIYs to floyd in exchange for a few sidewalk/clothing designs

treats any request by his villagers as his god given duty

he was placed on this island to look after everyone and he is going to do his job WELL.

takes every and any opportunity he can to go on leonas island to admire the architecture and try to recreate it himself

has many heart ponds on his island after he unlocked terraforming 

once he had a sleepover with the first years and they switched consoles for the night

deuce was extremely nice and helped catch a few bugs and increase friendship with villagers for sebek. wholesome stuff

but of course the terror that is ace trappola was fighting for everyone else’s console to vandalize- i mean, terraform their island

safe to say no one’s island was safe from a pp pond. thanks ace >:(

deuce did get his revenge though, he teamed up with epel just to make a trash moat around aces house

even though ace is aware that deuce put up a bulletin post on his board calling him stinky, it has not been deleted lmao

Leona

gets rid of all the lion villagers, there can only be one member of the kingscholar family on this terf

he keeps a lot of the peppy villagers on his island

if asked, he will say they are annoying and won’t gtfo but it’s because its too silent and peaceful without the annoyance

hes too used to being interrupted all the time by a tiny cub jumping on him that he doesnt know how to function without it anymore wbk

not that he would kick out as many male villagers as possible but these jock villagers are getting on his nerves. like not even jack is that muscle obsessed

plus, big macho muscle men is such an outdated thing, grow up, Dom.

leaves gulliver alone. his business is his business

for someone so cranky, he beefs with the cranky villagers the most. says theyre so entitled and annoying LMAO

only one he doesnt beef with is isabelle. yeah, she gives him shitty ratings on his island but she’s so sweet, and she’s stuck with ruggies #1 enemy so she deserves the special treatment, you hear?

leona is the first out of his classmates to get his friendship high enough to receive a villager’s photo. no one knows how, but yea, leona and Stella are like besties now. they’re 4lyfers. BFFLS <33

what can he say, that island is his pride

makes a little library in his house, it sucks that there aren’t any readable books in this game so he studies the lore instead

he gets to one-up idia on the animal crossing expertise if nothing else🎉

places down mats and pet beds anywhere in case his lazy villagers need a lil nap (it’s not how it works but gotta appreciate the thought)

ruggie and idia have this weird cahoots going on where they leave pitfall traps everywhere for him. 

rivalry with malleus ended, new rivalry with these two gremlins

leona has beat the 'lazy' (is it really?) allegations hes making custom design after custom design just to spite his classmates

his interest solely lies in giving his juniors the True High School Experience

posts loving reminders on his classmates’ notice boards. such as a very “clean up ur island” on kalim’s and a very kind “the onceler called, he wants his island back” on azul’s

actually they’re not reminders at all, they’re just disguised insults

he also very kindly leaves fruit that epel doesn’t have on his island. he says it was his starter fruit (it was not) so he doesn’t need it 

in fact for some reason his island has become a playground for the first years

despite his complaints about bothering him, he always ends up opening up his island for them, even if hes still complaining during it

do not comment on it if you’d like to keep your eyeballs

Ruggie

runs a not-very-lowkey nook miles ticket business

take that azul, he’s the one drowning in riches now

made mad tickets by being an animal slave trader

azul felt it was morally wrong because they were so cute but ruggie does not give a flying eff

you all think azul's the person who treats people like pawns? absolutely the hell not

my guy ruggie & jamil are the kings of human (in this case, animal) meat shields & theres no time to debate morals in this economy

only one hes not keen on slaving away is Tutu. she simply looks too sweet for ruggie to subject that treatment onto

tries really hard to draw a lil picture of his classmates’ favourite villagers onto the notice boards, because he’s nice like that

plus it doesnt hurt to have a few brownie points with everyone :)

extends extra effort to get into jades good graces because 1. no one wants to be in his bad graces and 2. he is so high maintenance >:( 

ruggie is probably being hella scammed bc jade has been eating up his iron stash with nothing to show for until a few months later

living his fun little fishing dad life

bro’s a pro fisher, he’s beating the fishing tourney with flying colours. knows every fishing trick in the book & helps sebek catch all the fish he keeps scaring away

doesn’t matter who hates tom nook the most, because ruggie hates him more

his villagers are going to unionize. we rally under comrade ruggie

doesnt listen to a damn thing the raccoon tells him after the tutorial and only pays for his house if he runs out of storage

he writes letters to his villagers and has a daily graffiti notice board post to remind everyone that their island motto is “down with tom nook”

vive la revolutione

because history is important or whatever blathers said, ruggie decided to honour her majesty the queen of hearts with his island flag

it depicts tom nook under a guillotine 

riddle is slightly horrified

that One Time trey visited, he left with a new anti tom nook shirt bc ruggie insisted trey show off his hard work

unlike all of his other classmates, lilia is delighted to see so much passion and joins in on the revolution not knowing a single thing

one peruse into ruggies island and malleus is now convinced that tom nook is some sort of evil mastermind keeping the player and his villagers captive

Jack

increasingly disturbed by a villager named Ace who moved in

he gifted the villager a basketball out of kindness

but seeing how different the villager was from the ace he knew (cough cough, hardworking), jack would prefer if he moved out 

also a time travel anti. his friends are all time travelling but he will refuse to be tempted

stretches with his villagers every morning. it’s good to get the oxygen flowing for a good, energizing start to the day

all of his buildings have either hedges or flowers around them. hes very committed to the aesthetic of Mother Nature

joining riddle in the Gardener Simulator squad. his sole goal is making his entire island a pretty little garden

sometimes he does wish he could have Leif on his island permanently. he likes the friendly lil sloth creechure

not much preference in who moves into his island but he does have a penchant for the sisterly and jock villagers

they’re friendly and always keeping each other in check. it’s a mutually beneficial relationship

plus they have way more integrity than the rest of his friends lmao bye

personally vibes with Sterling for that diligent knight energy. jack has plenty of role models to choose from and this time he happened to want to learn from silver

even though his entire island is the most jock-oriented place, his favourite villager is Bangle. she gets along with almost all of his villagers and is always in a good mood. 

he thinks she has a good personality to lead the island pack

one of the few that tries to even give tom nook an ounce of respect. he wont join in on the hate but he wont necessarily defend the raccoon either

bless his big heart

the savanaclaw students adore jacks island and his complete butterfly exhibit

every friday after dinner, the savanaclaw students all huddle and play animal crossing together i will die on this hill

they love to camp out in jacks island and by the savanaclaw lounge, you’ll see a string of photoshoots in jack’s butterfly exhibit

who initiated this? why, leona of course! he’s giving jack the recognition he deserves & it gets the dorm bonding

(it also gets ppl to visit jack’s island more, which means ppl visit leonas island less😏)

puts up a daily motivational quote on the boards

got highly offended when sebek once compared him to a jock villager. it wasnt bc he hated the villager, it was bc sebek meant it as an insult >:(

Azul

his favourite villager is Marina

she’s super nice and has never hurt a fly. he complies to all of her whims. how can you say no to her??

finally, someone can understand idias penchant for cute things

in tears after knowing the octopi are sought after by the masses he’s so proud

was less proud when jade joked the octopi were endangered bc they were getting eaten like can you not >:((

cannot participate in the stalk market he time travels so much

sure, the weeds will increase but it’s a small price to pay for efficiency 

pays his debts as fast as possible. not because he’s a good noodle, but because he won’t risk interest (even though there is no interest)

has an ongoing (one-sided) rivalry with redd and gathers all of the real artworks he can get

the paintings are a good deal he supposes but redd truly needs a better atmosphere if he wishes to continue selling

his boat doesnt even look approachable, & ambiance is a big factor when getting your clients to be comfortable. azul could totally lend out a few tips. all for the generous price of free!

he changed his mind after he misclicked and bought a fake painting, so he decided to pawn it off saying it was real. as a famous princess once said, some things never change

he’s long completed his art collection, but if you’re in need of a certain artwork, you can have it for the right price <3

pissed as hell over the snooty villagers. you think you’re better than him huh???

or, that’s what he wishes he feels. he just feels bullied in his own domain

money DOES grow on trees so therefore azul’s island is decorated in bell trees

he got excited when a tree dropped a coin. 

got less excited when he picked up the coin and it got put in his wallet

he thought there were different coins and he could have a digital coin collection too :(

builds something akin to a mostro lounge 2.0, not really for monetary purposes, it’s just a nice outdoor plaza for his villagers to hang out in :)

mad respect for his villagers who go to the lounge during winter season. it is very cold :(

but they look so adorable in their sweaters and hats and scarves🥺 jade, floyd, perhaps its time to invest in a miniature clothing line

a completionist! he will try to earn every achievement, and complete his critterpedia!

he heard riddle wanted to complete the critterpedia so azul did it first to impress him, but all riddle told azul is that he needed to spend less time on the game osijfgnrfg big L

Jade

starting hissy fights with floyd over the villager he wanted moving into floyd’s island

refuses to let floyd on his island for weeks because he’s So Hurt. just look at how upset he is :'(

had Raymond during his hype and refuses to let him go to this day. he’s gotten attached

hes got some cool ass preppy vest and their eyes match!!

often mentions that he wants to invite Tia on his island in hopes someone gets the hint

(so far no one has yet, but jade is a master at playing the long game)

has a concerning amount of sharks on display: both in tanks and as plaques

he misses the hunt <3

kept refusing to give back wisp’s body in hopes something would happen but ur basically forced to give it back ugh

how boring. he hoped there wouldve been consequences or something

actually he hoped that wisp would lose his shit

his house isn’t really for living in, it’s for storage. his home is the outdoors and hes placing down the furnishing to prove it

many forget that jade is also just living his best life, just a little guy. hes so jealous of his villagers. he too wants to only water flowers, fish for hours, and visit his nice neighbours in their pretty little homes

almost always wearing some kind of wide-brimmed hat to really sell the image that his home is the outdoors

cater is constantly handing jade some more trendy clothes because he thinks jade’s fashion is atrocious, but jade. never. wears. them.

hell, next year he might just use his island as a way to recruit people into the mountain-lovers club

makes ugly ass custom designs and genuinely think it looks good (anyone remember that one time jade dressed himself?)

forget leona, maybe it’s jade that has the uncle fashion. socks with sandals and all

aside from his own kin, no one has seen him physically hold a console in his hands, yet, his hours in this game would give idia a run for his money

theres some skeletons in the basement yeah

no seriously, he has skeletons in the basement. it looks like a jail. theres custom design blood on the floor

all that iron he's been pilfering from ruggie goes into steel bars👍👍

but he’ll say its for educational purposes

between you and me though, thats the corpse of Chadder. he hates rats- wait what do you mean wrong game??

Floyd

loves Zucker because “he looks edible” 

because of course he’d say that

terrorizing one octopus wasn’t enough he needed to terrorize two

obsessively resets his island until he gets peaches

fighting with jade over his console to drop iron for him

his house looks fine and normal in every room besides the basement. 

there’s seven skeletons chilling in there with bubblegum k on 24/7 loop

its a skeleton rave because they deserve to have fun too goddamnit

out of the twins, floyd has the neater house. hes quite committed to the aesthetics of his virtual space 

his happy home academy scores have reached the peak and hasn’t moved from there at all

it’s also vil certified! he really liked floyd’s home and told him he could land a career in interior design

says he’s gonna custom design the octavinelle uniform for azul and yassified it up so its a crop top & shorts now :D

dont forget them knee high boots

had fun designing but it was less of a “mini matching octavinelle uniform for us awww” and more of a “what would azul hate to wear”

(azul absolutely fuckin hates it to shreds so yay!! mission accomplished!)

even though azul reluctantly wears it, floyd had legitimately made the real uniform for him should azul choose to change clothes

his home storage is filled with 80% clothes bc of course his shoe collection carries over to the virtual space

horrible person he loves to scare wisp but will never hunt the ghost bits to give back to him

once he got his hands on the ocarina it was over for his multiplayer invites

his most used tool frfr. depending on the day he’ll play a pop song he memorized or a cacophony of sounds

kalim is the only one who thinks its a good idea to extend floyd an invite to the pop music club

like ace, also uses the type in your own answer function for evil. except he forgets what he writes all the time and it jumps back in his face

villagers be asking him a month later if his favourite hobby was “de-boning Blathers” and then saying they “should try it out themselves”

probably owns Saharah’s entire collection of mystery everything, and just like lilia he will run around and bury them on other peoples islands like some kinda hamster

another one that just pawns off stuff to his juniors, but instead of calling them gifts he straight up says he doesnt want it before handing them off

at least he’s honest LMAO

Kalim

his entire head is a radio that is constantly playing bubblegum k on loop

leaves stuff all over the place then forgets about it

when a villager gifts him something he will make sure to put it on or find a place for it to display right away

look at the cool leaf umbrella Pashmina gave him!!

personally vibes with the peppy villagers the most since they’re so upbeat. he tries his best to talk to Wendy every day

spends most of his bells on random furniture to place everywhere. his home storage has always been empty because he wants to display everything

he especially puts in extra work for the seasonal furniture but he’s constantly out of materials

runs circles around his villagers in greeting

takes advantage of the many reactions at his disposal. makes happy gestures at his villagers in greeting

he leaves fruit and picnic baskets all over the island in case his villagers wants to hold an impromptu party or have a lil snack

vending machines are a MUST

food is his love language! 

gifts too but you can only give one a day :(

gets super sad when his villagers dont want to repeatedly talk to him

puts nice lil messages into his friends notice boards and draws a lil stick figure of himself to accompany them

kalim mentioned one day that he would wear an entire line of clothes vil designed and vil puts a few of them on kalim’s island

kalim most enjoys it when his villagers wear vil’s designs because he can match with them! thanks vil :DD

hes always wearing a wetsuit underneath in case he wants to go for a dive

adores the little seal, he goes swimming often just to bump into him to give him scallops

sticks around after he hands over the scallops just to see the seal hold it

encourages his classmates to take lots of photos with him

only his fossil and art exhibits are full

(the art exhibit not really because he doesn’t know how to spot the counterfeit artworks)

he doesn’t want to take the sea creatures away from their home

this does not apply to the insects though. call him blathers’ comrade because he is a valiant knight in chasing away the bugs on jamil’s island

in exchange, jamil farms materials for kalim (why is he always short on softwood???)

Jamil

floyd breaks into his island to hit all of his villagers with nets

emphasizes with blathers because of the mutual hate for bugs

not appreciating ace making crappy renditions of jamil as blathers on the notice boards

steers clear of flick. that has got to be the freakiest thing hes ever met and hes had several conversations with rook hunt

he can take all the bugs tho, if jamil was brave enough to catch any

the lazy villagers are absolutely adorable and wholesome but jamil is sobbing on the inside. listen its nice that you want to share your fruit with your friends but u can do better than insects

if those six-legged devils are invading your space, sooner or later, you’ll be contracting the entire alphabet of hepatitis

drives all the smug villagers out of his island. he doesn’t want this negative energy in his safe haven

he keeps a few peppy villagers. he thought he would tire of them quickly, but sometimes u need a lil happy-go-lucky energy as a pick-me-up

lets kalim pillage all of the coconuts on his island for his coconut tree forest

silver’s favourite villager resides on jamils island and he asks all the time if he can come over to say hi to them

silver keeps telling him that Plucky reminds him of his dad because he also gives silver daily self-defence tips and sleeps hella late 

and u know what the more jamil hears of silvers father the more confused he gets. its hard to condense so many unrelated characteristics into a single personality, but apparently silver’s dad has it all

spends an ungodly amount of time in the able sisters and nooks cranny because the characters follow him around like little ducks and he likes the sound of their liddol footsteps

also very much appreciates all the authority he has on this island its the small semblance of control his virgo ass can get

he can legit tell a villager to move their house somewhere and they’ll agree with a smile

always treats his villagers with respect

has a strange obsession with fire. he places campfires and torches all over the place

will not rest until his island looks exactly the way he wants, down to the last detail

hella annoyed during island recruiting because he cannot pick his villagers, and everyone’s uniqueness is clashing with the aesthetic jamil was going for, now he has to change it

his favourite villagers are the normal personality ones, and if he could control the villagers that move in, he would have an island to Poppy and Bertha’s liking

another one of the cries when he receives letters from mom squad. shes just really sweet.

Vil

when Whitney moved on his island he got reminded of jack then took it back after getting to know her personality. ik it looks like a bad thing but its not, she grew on him very quick

not very fussy about his villagers, no matter how strange their designs are 

ik ur probably thinking “but some of them are so ugly”, yeah but vil lives with twink he-man tailing him every day

nah im joking its bc he talks to his villagers often and they’re so nice and vil Gets Attached Easily

besides, they love all the clothing and furniture vil gives them. vil can’t even get epel to appreciate his own looks, this is a certified W for vil

sometimes its the inside that matters most <3

while vil kind of still has a bit of celeb status in-game, it’s not over-the-top, so it feels extremely refreshing to be regarded as Just Vil

plus the close-knitted community in the island reminds vil of home. its nice

wishes his villagers were nicer to each other but there isn’t a scold option in the game >:( might report them to isabelle

makes it a mission to get rid of a cranky villager after seeing them be mean to Gala. Whitney is the only ‘mean’ one allowed here

dreaded inviting leona to his island for one reason and one reason only: he put his own designs into able sisters

please, Gala is wearing leopard print, this is a crime

made his own custom designs to fill leonas island with them. the third years stay beefing for eternity

(according to trey, leona camps on vils island waiting to snatch Gala up)

besides the weaponry potential he has, vil spends most of his talents on making really nice designs

rook loves to wax poetry on the artistry of vil’s mind & then he ends up creating more. it’s a continuous cycle of art appreciation <33

speaking of rook, he had gifted vil an amiibo card of Étoile telling him ‘a star for a star’ 

vil does a very bad job hiding his favour towards her

but he does let rook take any lion, tiger, or gorilla villagers off his island (sigh)

found the most enjoyment after one of leonas favourite villagers left and came to vils island, saying that they finally realized they deserved better💀   

but cater so graciously opened his mouth to dub Cheri as “leonas leftovers” and yeah, you can probably imagine how that turned out

Rook

the hunting instinct has Awoken

mans has every fish & bug & sea creature in the critterpedia

he did lots of island hopping to do so

need a tarantula? he’s got cages of them. they’re so fuzzy and fast and their eyes are so cute!

jamil has sworn off ever visiting rooks island. evidence of his hunting instinct are inescapable

unfortunately for jamil, rook is loud and proud about the fruits of his labour. invites everyone to come take a look at his island and museum

azul comes in frequently to take pictures in the aquarium

jade would be bonding with rook more over the hunt but, they started a bet over who gets the highest score in the fishing tourney so, no bonding today

(there was no competition to begin with since ruggie swept up the entire tourney anyways)

never fails to send each and every one of his villagers a personalized letter telling them how much he adores them

‘you look radiant when you’re asleep’ holds merit because some of his villagers do nap under the trees, but it’s a still a pretty unusual comment to receive

nevertheless, his villagers are very receptive to him and tend to send him many letters back

gets max friendship with so many villagers so quickly and for why?? he just wants their portrait to display in his house

theres a room full of portraits and really it looks more like a hitlist than a documentation of his journey of friendship

do not ask him to choose a favourite villager, for he finds beauty in them all. it is simply too cruel to ask him to pick just one

unleashes the voices in his head onto the bulletin boards

they are mostly love musings and occasional tiny drawings

some of the times they are helpful hunting tips!

idia claims that there was no need to inform his villagers about how to preserve the hide of a jaguar but you never know when his villagers need to defend themselves against The Unknown (no he will not elaborate)

camps on everyone’s island to take the villagers that are moving out

yes, it is a shame that they must leave monsieur magicam's island, but he too understands the calling of adventure. please, come join his island for a rest until the next island awaits :))

hosts bigger goodbye parties than kalim. rook would be a terrible island representative if he did not give a heartwarming farewell to his now former villager, oui?

their time spent together was enriching, but who is rook to stop them from pursuing another destination on their journey? people often forget that there is beauty in endings

Epel

also obsessively reset his island until he got a certain fruit

once he got his pears he traded them with jack for his apples

almost exclusively keeps his island in winter as it reminds him of harveston aww

not appreciating the comparisons to Apple

extremely not appreciating sebek putting her into an enclosure because he doesnt like the interior of her home

considering sebek partook in the comparisons to Apple, epel is now banishing any crocodile villagers to the furthest corner of his island. they can live in isolation😡

it really doesnt last long, he got attached to Gayle. like father like son fr

even funnier his favourite villager is Judy but he will tell everyone that its Boots

he also has the most fruit trees on his island out of everyone. ace raids epels island all the time to steal fruit and sell it off (mostly with permission, but theres always that one time without)

happily gave azul some tips on tree placement & how to display as much as possible bc this is his Expertise

cue the next week azul was constantly asking epel if he needed any furniture and epel finally named something he wanted

low and behold he got it in the mail and azul stopped pestering him

huh. his seniors are really nice, arent they? :D

vil made a regal little flag design for epels island that epel swore he would never use but it’s always there when vil visits

he absolutely keeps the tune rook composed though. it sounds like boss music #weballin

highkey adores the able sisters (especially sable) they’re so kind they remind him of his town’s elders 

his villagers constantly compliment him and give him clothes🥺

unlike with vil he will happily wear whatever cute shit his villagers give him, even if he prefers the cool stuff

like you said vil, charm & cuteness is a weapon and its one his villagers exploit heavily. he’s jotting down notes the next time he wants vils lessons to end sooner😏

diligent with his landscape you will never see a single weed anywhere

his tree stumps are intentional and his tree placement is all arranged nicely

takes up gardening too and is the second to get the gold roses, but it didn’t fit with his island, so he passed them off them to malleus instead

kindly takes off the flowers colonizing riddle’s island to put them in his

can we get a round of applause? for epel has every species of flower on his island !!

Idia

finally, a place where he is The Boss and people will respect him for it

ortho recommended this game to him so they can play together

(it was mostly to comfort him after his favourite ship didn’t become canon)

cried the first time his villagers gave him a compliment :((

When Audie tells him “I managed to make some awesome friends, like you, Idia!”, he understands now why ortho told him to download this game

sniffling through this game it’s so wholesome

ofc he knows the lore about Audie its why shes his favourite

idia decides to keep his island full of peppy villagers to suit the vibe, match the aesthetic, etc

the only exception to the personality rule is if theres a cat villager, then they’re forgiven for any and all crimes

(this is a trick question, for they can do no wrong)

memorizes his villagers’ preferred gifts bc they get nothing else but the best!

actually all of his custom designs are cosplays. his villagers wear his designs. hes leaked water over this game more than hes ever in his life

isabelles soft, cheerful energy is really what gets idia through his day. shes the perfect amounts of outgoing without being too overwhelming

many people often believe that vil is catty but idia is literally right There

hes a bitch and everyone knows it. its just super forgettable because theres so many other aspects of idias personality that overshadows his mean bitch energy

idia will specifically go to azuls domain just to insult his trees and the placement of his furniture

he approves of the yassified octavinelle outfit tho its very tasteful

judges people who don’t know super obscure details like why do you have to be a casual AND normal about the game pick a struggle >:(

makes little mods and tweaks to the game. he coded in that his villagers can lie down on the mats, hammocks, and on the beach

four updates in though, a bug occurred and his villagers roll around on the ground like how they do in beds

it was way too funny so idia kept it that way and didnt patch up the bug

if anyone passes by him in the halls they might hear him singing acnh tunes

absolutely evil. doxxing people (its ruggie) for trying to auction off Bob & kicking his feet and wiggling his toes while talking to Audie the next second

he finds out that ace really wants to get rid of Francine so yeah, idias making derogatory drawings of Francine on ace’s notice boards and sending him anti-Francine memes

nothing brings two people closer together more than mutual hatred they said

Ortho

he’s inviting all of the robot villagers and they are having a blast

is very supportive of Ketchup’s dreams to be a popstar! he regularly puts microphone stands near her house and gives her lots of sparkly clothing

hes a fan of all the duck villagers, really. their little beaks and happy faces :)

his favourite villager is Doc. no particular reason but ortho has always wanted a grandparent

plus Doc talks about comics and superheros and ortho will not miss an opportunity to nerd out (even though Doc’s opinions are very on the safe side. ortho thirsts for controversy)

once ortho visited riddle’s island and asked for Kid Cat if he moved out

riddle gave him a generous donation of flowers to send Kid Cat off with😭😭  

if idias skipping his 8 hours of sleep, ortho will make him do the stretches with the villagers (hes the reason why they're all out of sync)

technically ortho joins in but he doesnt exactly need any stretching

hacked the star fragment trees into his world. low risk, high reward!!

uses those trees to recreate the stargazer tree and designed his own starsending gear to go along with it☺️

shared the design with jack and invited him onto his island for a photoshoot

jack is amazed by the trees and says he cant wait until he can grow star fragment trees and ortho just smiles through it all

jack would be so disappointed to learn ortho got them in less than legal means

maybe he'll hack them onto his island in secret

also puts his own little mods in. he makes some custom design furniture and FINALLY PUTS THE FROG CHAIR IN

even adds some characters he wants and brings back the ruthless dialogue from the past AC games

personally makes an entire set of furniture that references his favourite movies (extra care is given to ones vil has starred in)

ortho’s playstyle is a lot less wholesome than idias because he likes a challenge

he made an entire DLC called animal crossing: survival island because he heard silver talking about it (probably works like minecraft hard mode)

put pride flag custom designs in the shop to wait for his villagers to come out :) 

after they “come out”, ortho makes a little backstory on it and gets idia to guess their stories. he’s got lore in this island now !!

fluent in the entire soundtrack. he makes the noises, hes downloaded the bgm

ortho wants an irl isabelle and he’s preparing a 70-slide powerpoint presentation to convince idia to get him a dog

kinda overkill since all ortho needs is to give him the puppy dog eyes

Malleus

for the sake of this hc lets say he at least knows the controls

confuses this game for pokemon and tries to “catch” his villagers with the net

gets confused when they get mad at him

hes very very amused by how normal his villagers treat him

these tiny little animals are cowering in fear by the thought of ghosts even though they are technically walking over bones of the dead

they gas him up so much for the tiniest things he does and if it were anyone else but these fluffy animals he would think it was belittlement

it feels like he’s important, not for his titles nor his accomplishments, but just because his animal friends love him

he can see why silver loves to talk to the birds now

when he’s on someone’s island he can lurk and be afk until he’s kicked off

has statues everywhere. he doesn’t really know how to pick them up after theyre put down so don’t mind the random statues by the airport

tries to put down as least furniture as possible bc of one too many incidents of him picking up the sidewalk instead of his fruit

anyone near him during this can add many ancient curses to their forbidden vocabulary👀👀

when his villagers threw a birthday party for him...

rumours say the valley of thorns was sunny for the first time that day!!

his favourite villager is Coco and he cherishes her with his life

he also has a certain favour towards crocodile villagers as well, namely Drago bc he shares the name of one of his tamagotchis

doesnt do much in this game but talk to his villagers

loves the night walks in the game because he can bump into two things Celeste, or Wisp

hes so intrigued by Celeste shes fr just chilling and living her best life looking at the stars. it reminds him of lilia

given lilia is way more devious so maybe not😔

Wisp is a lot less brave than any ghost hes met and malleus thinks hes adorable. he feels very guilty for frightening him all the time however

it felt so dehumanizing trying to catch a dragonfly he was pouting for weeks

highkey cannot drop the game because he left for a while and when he came back his villagers were wailing about how he left them alone for months

hes never leaving them alone again he doesnt want them to feel abandoned

Lilia

his name in the game is not lilia, oh no

his name is dad. he is now the proud father of 10 more children

11 counting isabelle

debates are still on the table of whether or not tom nook is a legitimate dignified son of lilias

he even has a time out corner for his naughty villagers

its just him barricading that villagers house

he did barricade resident services for a good 15 minutes before receiving an amiibo card from silver and he wanted to use it

favours the lazy villagers because they are a certain brand of adorable and they try to make friends with everyone

technically loves all his villagers but he always points out Kevin because he ‘looks very friendly’

had a big ass laugh after deuce compared Kevin’s smile to treys

when he’s on someones island he treats it like hide and seek. he will never be found

getting access to the custom design was fun for lillia, but not for anyone else

sometimes he throws down some eldritch horror, sometimes his outfits look like a glowstick exploded

his island is in permanent halloween mode 

buries random shit on other peoples islands. they dig it up thinking it’s a fossil and instead get mystery wallpaper, random stacks of clay, and random diys

call it an everyday egg hunt if you will

he has three rooms dedicated to kitchenware and is trying to (more like going to) find a way to cook smth nice for his villagers. its the least he could do as thanks

if not then he’ll just buy fruit baskets and hand them out to his villagers. he’s such an asian dad

doesnt bat in eye when his villagers knock up on his door and barge into his house

he's welcoming them with open arms. why of course Pudge you can sit on the ground and read ur book for as long as you want ^^

he'll be doing his own thing too #parallelplay or something idk

(on a side note, Pudge’s face is probably how every visitor on lilia’s island feels)

Silver

thought there were going to be more survival elements to the game since it starts with himself & a group of animals on some remote island 

as soon as the plane was hovering over the island, silver was ticking off potential water, food, & shelter sources

threw him for a loop when he found out how peaceful this game was. it’s pleasant :)

doesn’t stop him from valiantly chasing off the wasps and scorpions and fleas away from his villagers

don’t worry Lolly, you’re under silver’s protection now. nothing will hurt you :)

even though the threats in this game are minimal, silver keeps lights & campfires all over just for safety reasons

if his villagers end up lost, all they need to do is follow the light! and if they want some alone time, the fire can keep them safe & warm <3

he thinks Flick is adorable. has a shy little personality and likes to make art and bug friends (?) 

constantly supports Flick by giving him bugs for commissions. everyone deserves the chance to follow their dreams :)

peacefully picking seashells on the beach while sebek is scaring away all of the fish

really fond of the zodiac furniture. he wants to collect them all

he makes around 100 wishes every time. just lays his console down and presses A

thinks celeste is very sweet. sad that she doesnt visit often

certified photographer. he takes a lot of pictures with his villagers because he’s just. so happy they like his island, they like each other, it’s such a wholesome atmosphere

cater and silver have a shared magicam account dedicated to their pics it’s very cute and the followers mostly consist of savanaclaw and diasomnia members 

loves seeing his villagers interact with each other. their conversations are so cute, they visit each others homes!! bros gonna sink into his mattress and flood it with tears

do not underestimate him, even if it is most likely made up, silver will become fluent in the Language of the Coded Animals

he will not curse but the animal noises are the closest he’ll get if he ever chooses to

all of his villagers get a royalty treatment. silver's residents are the most spoiled residents ever

fills his notice boards with drawings of his villagers saying nice things, like reminding him to drink water, or to hug his friends

at the same time he also puts in survival tips just like how lilia raised him. its a very contrasting mix of messages

Sebek

even online he is Too Much

sprints everywhere and wonders why all the bugs and fish flee

hes got places to be and no amount of time to waste

his home interior is a lot like diasomnia but bro do not let him get ahold of the custom designs

im sure hes a really good artist but anyone who's tried operating the custom designs knows that it zaps any artistic skill you've ever learned

traditional art? fucking amazing. acnh art? now ur kid with a purple crayon

stick figures. drawing the diasomnifam does not work. theres 4 stick figures. one has horns, one has bat wings, ones surrounded by animals, and one is Just Green.

his priorities shifted to practicing custom design until he mastered it

does not take commissions. if he ever bestows a custom design onto someone, its a sign of sebek’s approval/respect of them

hes very committed to the aesthetic. hes terraforming his island every single week based on his current mood (bros going thru it)

competes with silver for every kind of grading they get (happy home academy, island rating, etc)

this is what motivates him to come back and play

dont be mistaken either this is not one-sided. mutual rivalry is the best way to keep the other improving !!

hoards all of the holiday materials to make the diys that he doesnt have or collect

personally having the maddest beef with the snowboys bc one accidental nudge of a snowball resulted in them insulting sebek’s snowmen-building competence

sebek obviously does better the next time, but then the snowboys are just so egotistic for no reason. all they did was sit there and get built, they could never measure up to his master malleus, or lilia

by the third run-in with the snowboys, he just opts to crush or drown the snowballs. the winter DIYs weren’t worth the effort

the fued w/ one Ace Trappola has not ended since the day he got the console because they wanted the same villager and started fighting over Agnes’ amiibo card

amiibo cards can be used multiple times and clearly they both do not know this

probably the only one out of the cast to actually use the 'ask blathers' feature

the owl is a very dutiful and knowledgeable curator. sebek believes he can learn much from him

only thing to complain about is how often blathers is asleep during the day. if blathers were a retainer he most certainly would not make the cut.

[carlyxtalessdo]

there's no way those rumors about blanche not being sable's daughter are still going around they couldn't be more similar if they tried just look at them. they're equally clingy and jealous for bibi's attention 😭

[loosesodamarble]

The Canty-Faust Family Tree (AU Version)

Here it is, the family tree if Morgen and Josele got to have their happily ever after...

Since I don't actually have posts for the Morgsele children (yet), let me share some info about them here.

Albert is the eldest child with Varg being his younger twin.

Albert likes to keep his emotions in check and that calmness makes him easy to approach for others. He can be distrustful, having heard people badmouth his parents. But at his core, he's a softie who wants to help others.

Albert's attribute is Prismatic Light Magic. He generates and controls light in multiple colors and the colors of the lights he creates have a variety of effects, such as blue light being able to douse things similar to Water Magic. This attribute is a result of Morgen's Light Magic and the fact that Josele's Emotion Magic which is able to produce multiple elements.

Varg is mischievous and thrill-seeking. Very outgoing and likes to mess with his loved ones. Looks like a delinquent but does his best to avoid any extreme behaviors that could get him in trouble with the law (unless his sweetheart is involved).

Varg's attribute meanwhile is Eclipse Magic. If Shadow Magic is an in-between for Dark and Light Magic, Eclipse is between Shadow and Light Magic, able to utilize aspects of both attributes, such as shadow teleportation and Light Magic's affinity for healing.

Iris is the third child of the family and the first of the non-twin children.

A lover of poetry and romance so a lot of his talking can come out unintentionally flirty. When he needs to think, he tends to overthink and stress himself out. Surprisingly pessimistic at times.

His attribute is Dark Magic. Josele was thoroughly shocked but Morgen understood that it was a possibility considering the Faust bloodline.

Valerian and Friedrich are the second pair of twins, with Valerian being the older of the two.

Valerian is quite the confident one. He's got a lot of energy and zero impulse control. He loves people with "snappy" attitudes who can challenge him.

He got his Wind Magic from Grandpa Thomas. When he discovered his attribute, he became a lot more of a handful for Josele and Morgen.

Friedrich is the quieter of the twins. He's friendly but not all that outgoing. When he's interested in something, he gets deeply invested. Finds his attribute dull compared to his siblings'.

In contrast to Valerian's Wind, Friedrich got Earth Magic. Since it's so different from the rest of the family's it was hard for Fried to get a handle on it without a teacher.

Sable and Blanche are the third, and last, of the twin children. They are also the first daughters to Morgen's delight (he's a smidge of a girl dad, I'm sorry).

Sable is a sweetheart, just like her parents. Very imaginative. Extremely trusting. Somewhat airheaded. She means well but can find herself in trouble too easily.

In contrast to her bright personality, Sable has Shadow Magic. People tend not to believe her when she first tells them what her attribute is because it doesn't "fit" her.

Blanche is Sable's contrast in every way. She's gloomy and withdrawn. She's level-headed and doesn't care for people much.

Blanche has Light Magic that has a lavender tint to it. Unlike Albert's magic, the color of Blanche's Light Magic has no special effect.

The baby of the family is Isolde.

She's quiet and finds it hard to approach others. But if someone else takes the time to reach out to her, she readily opens up.

She's so young that Isolde has yet to discover what her magic attribute is. However, given that none of her older siblings have inherited Emotion Magic yet, Josele is hoping that Isolde will be the one to have it.

Visuals of the kids (oldest to youngest).

Links to fics featuring the kids and their dad: Albert, Varg, Iris, Valerian, Friedrich, Sable, Blanche, Isolde.

[metanarrates]

speaking of villainess isekai have you read not sew wicked stepmother? genuinely curious about your thoughts on that one

it's one of me and my fiancees faves actually 🥰 i haven't checked in on it in a hot minute but it's pretty cute. abigails supreme autism swag is continually enjoyable as hell and it's got some takes on childhood trauma and beauty standards that i found pretty decent. as in most rofan cases I'm not Fond of the "we have to free ourselves from the detestable corset" or the jealousy plotline but I'm also glad there's canon yuri so it balances out. also shoutout to sable for being the only neglectful husband/father character I've ever seen with a backstory that legitimately does a good job explaining why he's like that + gives him room to grow without underplaying the ways his behavior hurt abigail and blanche

Ineffable (Dream of the Endless x Reader) - Chapter 1: Daydream *preview*

The complete Chapter 1 now posted!

Dream/Morpheus x female reader

Synopsis: Reader is arguably as much of a mystery as Morpheus. She can communicate through thoughts, manipulate others' dreams, and sometimes, employ telekinesis. A chance encounter with Fiddler's Green leads to her being a part of Morpheus' crowd in the Dreaming, doing her part and using her abilities to help keep everything in check. She believes Morpheus only tolerates her, and keeps her around for her abilities. Merv, Lucienne, and some others become her good friends, but Morpheus remains distant. Yet, the Reader is intrigued. And maybe, Morpheus will be, too.

.... my first ever piece on here! (all typed from my phone so apologies in advance if anything looks out of place)

Also - I haven't read the comics (yet!) so my Sandman knowledge will all be coming from the Netflix series

Morpheus had a way about him. This much I'm sure of.

Some nights, it makes me want to bombard him with a million questions. What must it be like to be one of the Endless? To be a being that cannot even come close to comprehension? To be, quite literally, all dreams personified?

And then he shoots me a look that is subtle, but with a hint of distaste in it.

Oh yeah, I've seen it. In the few months that I've been around him, I know for a fact that he's not the most open of people... well, entities.

But every time he catches me absentmindedly looking at him, I get one of his classic glares.

And I get, I do. The guy just wants to keep to himself. He doesn't need some human staring at him from time to time, as if he's some kind of museum attraction.

To be fair, he does look like some kind of museum attraction. Perhaps, that can't even encompass it. He's more.... he's... he's....

"Are you listening?", a familiar deep tone inquires.

Shit. Caught lost in my thoughts yet again.

"Yes", I stammer. Great going.

He raises an eyebrow.

"Alright, well, you better run along to Gault and relay the details of your next mission which is highly important..."

"Okay", I sigh, what is he on about?, "I was... uhhh... daydreaming. You caught me!"

I attempt to muster a dry laugh, trying to appease him, and say, "I'm just tired, my mind just drifts away sometimes..."

"Sure it did, and it must have drifted well off onto something on Lord Morpheus' cheek." Merv helpfully quips, and I blanche in my seat, "He got a spot or somethin'? You been looking reeaaal har.."

"What?!" Morpheus and I raise our heads, voices melding in annoyance.

"I'm just saying, anyway I gotta go fix.... a thing.", Merv backs off and struts out of the room, a sly jump in his step. He sneaks a look back at me, smirking, and suddenly Halloween's not my favourite holiday anymore.

"Ignore him.", Mr. Dreamboat over here waves a hand impatiently, "As I was saying..."

"My lord," Lucienne interjects, "Forgive me but don't you think y/n needs to get some rest? She's already drifting off as it is. If you're about to give her an important task, it may be best to put it off until she's ready."

"I'm okay, really, I...", I start, but who am I kidding? I'm exhausted. And when I am, my gaze apparently lands on a certain bone-pale face.

Thanks, Merv. I'll get you back for that one.

"You may be right, Lucienne."

I look up, and I am arrested by his gaze on me. Brows furrowed, as if he's either trying to crack a challenging mystery, or he's dismayed by a stain on his sable coat.

With him, I can never tell.

"You're free to go. I just need to speak with y/n about something.", he motions to Lucienne, who tries to comfort me with a smile, and it works. Dear Lucienne. The ultimate confidante.

She walks away, and I am left with Morpheus, in the biggest library in all of existence, seated facing each other.

"Are you feeling alright?", he startles me.

"Hmm? Of course. I am a bit tired, but I'm fine. Nowhere else I'd rather be.", I shrug.

"Listen. I have a... request. And as such, it is up to you whether you will accept it or not.", he mutters deeply, his voice a mere whisper yet I have a feeling it can reach the farthest corner of this room.

My eyes stays locked onto his blue, and I realize I've held my breath for a minute, reeling from what he said.

"Go on.", I implore. I want to add, For you - anything.

But I bite my tongue, and wait.

Chapter 1

[rottingrootsarts]

My altar got a great makeover. I only had a small space, but now... I can truly expose my things to my deities. We can see my tarots in the corner (I’m gonna talk about them in a later post) and a lil box. 

There is :

an incense holder 

two candles, one purple for Dionysus, one black for Hekate. I also have a big white one, for others rituals.

a candleholder, where I put some dried flowers or littles offerings.

two glass jar, one with wine (again, for Dionysus) and one with coffee (again, for Hekate*.)

two box in wood, one with black sand I got while in Iceland, the other with coarse sea salt.

And, last but not least, a representation of a Muse.

*I put coffee cauz I had no idea for a dark liquid. I don’t want wine (Dionysus already have some). If you have any ideas, feel free to share them with me !

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

J’ai pu redonner un joli coup de neuf à mon altar !  Mon étagère était pleine avant cela, mais en faisant un grand tri durant l’été, j’ai réussi à dégager assez de place pour mes pratiques. On voit mes tarots dans un coin (j’en parlerais dans un prochain post) et une petite boîte. (J’en parlerais aussi plus tard.)

Pour l’altar en lui-même :

Un porte-encens

Deux bougies, une violette pour Dionysos et une noire pour Hekate. J’en ai une blanche, immense, qui me sert pour d’autres rituels mais qui est rangée plus haut.

Un porte-bougie...  Qui en vrai, me sert à mettre des fleurs séchées et des petites offrandes.

Deux jarres en verre, une avec du vin (..encore, pour Dionysos !) et l’autre avec du café (Pour Hekate)*

Deux boîtes, l’une contenant du sable noir ramené d’un voyage en Islande, l’autre du gros sel.

Enfin, une représentation d’une Muse, ramenée de Grèce.

*J’ai mis du café car c’est un des liquides les plus sombres que j’ai pu trouver et qui ne soit pas du vin. Si vous avez d’autres idées de liquides pour Hekate, je prends volontiers.

“Fu on Autumn Inspirations" ("Qiuxing fu") by Pan Yue. Translation by  Chiu-Mi Lai in River and Ocean: The Third-Century Verse of Pan Yue and Lu Ji

Preface "In the fourteenth year of the Jin Dynasty (278), my years numbered thirty-two, and I was beginning to show grey hair. By virtue of the office of assistant to the grand commandant and simultaneously as commander of tiger-swift gentlemen of then household, I temporarily served duty at the bureau of the Detached Cavalry. The high towers reach the clouds so the sunlight rarely shines in. Officials with cicada (jewels) sewn on their caps and garbed in white and twilled silk come and go from this place. I am a simple man from the country. For rest, I have nothing more than a thatched hut and dense grove. For conversation, I have no one other than the farmers and country folk. When I serve in office, it is to assume the post by default, for they have unduly assigned me in the court ranks. Rising early in the morning, resting late at night, I do not have the leisure to settle and take repose. I am like a fish in a pond or a bird in a cage, possessing a longing for rivers and lakes, or mountains and marshes. That is why I moistened a brush, taking paper in hand, and sighing so, I composed a fu. It was the season of autumn, thus I titled this piece "Autumn Inspirations."" I The four seasons speed by in alternating sequence, The myriad things in disorder are whirled and propelled. I see the seasonal development of flowers and plants, And perceive what is inherent in splendor and decay. I am moved by the decline of winter and the display of spring, And marvel at the exuberance of summer and the ebbing of autumn. Even in the glory and suffering of minor things, There are the good and bad of human emotions. II How fine were the words of Song Yu — Alas, mournful is the breath of autumn — The soughing wind, the vegetation and trees flutter and fall, and transform and decay. How sad and forlorn it is, as when one travels afar, Ascending a mountain, looking down over the waters, to send off someone returning home. III As for, Sending off someone returning home, one harbors the yearning for a companion; Travelling afar, one has the distress of a wayfarer in exile; Looking down at the river, moved by the currents, one sighs for its passing away; Ascending a mountain, one long for the distant and laments the near; These four sorrows afflict the heart. Encountering only one of these is hard enough to bear. Alas that the autumn day is so sad! Indeed there is not a sorrow that is not included. In the wilderness, a returning swallow, In the marshes, a hovering falcon. Drifting vapors mount in the morning, Withered leaves fall in the evening. IV Thereupon, Put away the light fan, Take off the thin clothing, Spread a rush mat, Wear a lined robe. The courtyard trees show stripped branches, leaves have fallen and scattered, A forceful wind gusts forth and blows against the curtains. The cicada chirps, crying in the cold, The wild goose circles, flying southward. The skies are bright and clear, rising ever higher, The sun is fading in brightness, gradually diminishing. The rays cast by the waning yang grow ever shorter, One feels the chilly nights now becoming longer. V The moon is glimmering, engulfed in luminence, The dew, cold and clear, begins to freeze. Fireflies glow on the steps and in the doorway, Crickets chirp by the veranda screens. I hear the dawn cry of the stray swan, And gaze upon the lingering light of the receding Firestar. In the dark, fitful, I do not sleep, Alone, tossing and turning in this magnificient office. I am aware of the year swiftly drawing to a close, Sighing, I bow my head in self contemplation. My grey-streaked temples are unkempt, tucked under my official cap, My blanched white tresses are dishevelled, draped about my neck. I look up in respect at my fellow worthies, unsurpassed in their tracks, As if ascending to the Cloud River, roaming and galloping, As if climbing to a terrace in spring, full of joy, With their caps of gold and sable, bright and bold. If what we seek or discard truly differ from one another, How can we hope to understand turbulence or tranquility? VI I have heard of the Perfected Man's supreme manner, And line up heaven and earth to one meaning. When the others realize their security they forget about danger, To be sure, when they emerge in life, they have already entered into death. Travelling on foot, one only uses the space of a footstep, One hardly takes a step before finally coming to rest. But if we tunnel away at all around his feet, we would reach the Yellow Springs, And even though he might be a monkey, he could not walk there. The tortoise sacrificed its bones at the ancestral temple, But longed to return itself to the green waters. VII For now, Pulling back my collar I will return home, Immediately casting off the official sash to cross on high. I will till the fertile soil along the eastern banks, And hand in taxes the surplus of millet. In a place where a spring gushes and rushes among the rocks, Where chrysanthemums diffuse their fragrance along the banks, I will bathe in the autumn waters, bubbling and trickling, And frolic with the swimming hemiculter darting to and fro. Rambling and roaming the crags of the mountains and streams, Being free and detached from the mundane world. How content and how free, I shall end my days!

[ghostlight-express]

Can't fall asleep because it's Too Goddamn Hot so I'm thinking about Ingo & Rena having a son & then Emmet & Sol adopt twin girls.

I want Ingo & Rena's son to be named after someone from Hisui but idk who exactly. Obviously not Kamado or Volo, definitely not Melli either. Laventon seems like a good option, though they might go with "Laven". Suggestions are welcome!

As for Emmet & Sol's adopted daughters, I'm also tossing around ideas for them. Part of me wants one of them to be named Alice but that's probably just because *I* really like the name Alice. It might be funny if they find twins named Ebony & Ivory. Or Blanche & Sable. Idk. Suggestions for the daughters are welcome as well.

Rena & Ingo's son is like. A toddler when Emmet & Sol decide they want kids of their own (but Sol is *terrified* of pregnancy/giving birth, hence adoption). The twin girls are probably preschool to early elementary age. There's a whole thing about Emmet & Sol's daughters being a few years older than Ingo & Rena's son even though the son came first in the family. Any sibling rivalry is exacerbated by the fact that the girls were adopted.

Another thing I've been thinking about is whether the children would consider the whole polycule their parents or if they would call the pair who aren't legally their parents aunt/uncle. I think I do want to go with the former, but I imagine there might be situations when the kids are older where they refer to one pair as aunt/uncle in front of certain people just so they don't have to explain their whole family dynamic.

Où est-elle ::: Koté Li Yé || r. erica doyle

Il y a longtemps j’ai rencontré Un joli garçon

Ensemble nous dormions Dans le ventre de ma mère

Maintenant les rues de nos pères Se soulèvent pour le manger :: Tout ce qui est noir est interdit au Paradis

Dans mes bras mon frère dort, ses dents des perles

Je fais don de la nuit pour que ce somme il puisse avoir :: J’abandonne l’homme qui m’a fait blanche

J’abandonne l’homme qui a libéré ma mère

Je prie à côté de mon crâne

Mon scalp se déroule

:: Je lui fais un nid gris au-dedans de mon cerveau

ma mère dort et rêve de gènes

lèvres mauves vives sur le rachis il respire. Le ciel :: ploie dans mes yeux cherchant sa peau

Les pales d’hélicoptères envahissent notre paix :::

Où est ce Noir Où est-ce Où :: Les pales tranchent, gémissent martèlent les coupoles

Je le fais glisser au bas et hors de mes vertèbres le petit

Il se précipite au bas de l’os et de l’océan :: navigue jusqu’à la maison dans un bateau taillé dans du gommier

Quand il atteint notre île tout le monde est soulagé

bien qu’ils ne m’aient pas oubliée, belsé :: Où est ta sœur, hein ? Où’qu’ ?

Koté belsé yé? Où’qu’?

Koté li yé Koté li yé

Sur le sable Sur la mer parmi les étoiles

Koté li yé Koté li yé Dans l’egun monocellulaire Dans la lune torpide

Koté li yé Koté li yé :: Là :::

Koté li yé se drape autour d’un bâton ; scintille électrique dans le halo d’un taser ; tari à l’aide une bouteille en verre ; :: Là :::

Koté li yé vagin bouche bée dans la nuit ; nuque pendille tendue à des sacs plastiques et des cordes pauvrement nouées ; :: Là :::

Koté li yé belsé Koté?

:::          Je brûle

ma peau brille plus noire, plus laquée

:::          non-mwen sé                  flambó

les cendres tremblent dans le clair de lune

:::         without humanity

fumant mes os enfument le futur

:::          pa bwè afwéchi pou lafiyèv dòt moun

original version on poets.org

“I shared my mother’s womb with a brother and feel infinitely protective of him; the killings of black men at the hands of the state feels personal, as does working against the causes of this violence, and this poemacknowledges the labor of black women to uplift and protect their communities. Like many other black women in the United States, I, too, have been subjected to racial profiling by law enforcement and am deeply affected by the stories of sexual abuse and murder of women—particularly black, trans, and indigenous women—by those in power. I wrote this poem in solidarity with the #SAYHERNAME movement, which seeks to elevate and address the abuse of and violence against women by authorities. The poem asks, both in English and in Trinidadian French Patois—my grandmother’s native language —‘where is your sister?’ which reminds us to always ask about women and girls. It ends with a Patois proverb that translates roughly to ‘you cannot cure your own illness with the medicine of another’—reminding us that to address injustice, we must use a fine-grained, intersectional approach.” —r. erica doyle

r. erica doyle was born in Brooklyn to Trinidadian immigrant parents.  She earned a BA at Georgetown University, an MFA at The New School, and an MA at New York University. In her poems, she engages themes of intimacy, hunger, and power through the body.

Selected by poet Maggie Nelson, her debut collection, proxy (Belladonna* Books, 2013), won the 2014 Norma Farber First Book Award from the Poetry Society of America and was a Finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in Lesbian Poetry. PROXY is an unrequited love story in prose poems, where the landscape of the beloved body becomes the windows of New York City, the deserts of North Africa, and the mangroves of the Caribbean. PROXY is a conversation with the calculus, plotting and space against the infinite  capacities of desire. 

In a conversation with Amy King for Boog City, Doyle discussed her approach to proxy’s subject matter, stating, “Hardly anyone was writing about sex the way I knew we were doing it, and feeling it, and sometimes fucking each other up and over. Sex and the body are what make us dangerous—no one would care if we were writing platonic letters to each other about maple leaves. The body is the site where all of this gets worked out, but then, in proxy, everything becomes that body. The sea, the sand, the subway, the boys, the older women on the boardwalks, the platforms.” “Doyle’s most profound gift, in proxy: the relationship between the speaker and her body, a vehicle of desire that is simultaneously female and human,” observed Corrina Bain in a 2014 review of proxy for Muzzle Magazine, noting that doyle often portrays intimacy in close, sharp focus, where “longing, regret, and some brutish physical facts are revealed, but the narrative surrounding them is more or less dissolved.” Doyle’s work has been featured in the anthologies Our Caribbean: A Gathering of Lesbian and Gay Writing from the Antilles (2008), Gathering Ground: A Reader Celebrating Cave Canem’s First Decade (2006), Bum Rush the Page: A Def Poetry Jam (2001), and Best American Poetry (2001). Her honors include fellowships from the New York Foundation for the Arts, Cave Canem, and the Fine Arts Work Center in Provincetown and an Astraea Lesbian Foundation for Justice Lesbian Writers Fund Award in Poetry. In addition, she has read her work at the Kennedy Center, the National Black Arts Festival, Joe’s Pub, the Nuyorican, the Calabash International Literary Festival in Jamaica, WI and various colleges and universities. Doyle lives in Brooklyn, where she is an administrator in the NYC public schools and facilitates Tongues Afire: A Free Creative Writing Workshop for queer women and trans and gender non-conforming people of color.

One Stubborn Wind

Summary: Morgen cares for his son Valerian while he's sick. Genre: general Word count: ~700

..........

Morgen sighed and mentally cursed his weak constitution. He wasn’t so frail as to be bedridden his whole life but his immune system was far from hardy. And it seemed that Valerian had inherited that trait from his father.

I’m so sorry, Valerian, Morgen thought as he carried a tray with a bowl of porridge and tea to Valerian’s room. He could’ve left it to a member of the staff but why would Morgen choose to miss out on time with his child, even if Valerian was sick as a dog at the moment? Maybe you’ll grow out of it one day. Unlike myself…

The door to Valerian’s room came into view. Morgen balanced the tray on one arm long enough to open the bedroom door.

And found his son halfway through jumping out the window.

“Valerian?!”

“Uh, bye!” Even with that short exclamation, it was clear how stuffed up Valerian was. He moved to push himself off the window frame

However, faster than the blink of an eye, he was stopped.

A rope of silver light caught Valerian by the wrist and kept him safely in the room. A low, congested groan filled the room. Normally gentle brown eyes narrowed on Morgen in a show of offense.

“You ought to be resting, young man,” Morgen said plainly. He tugged on his spell and urged Valerian towards his bed.

Valerian scowled but shuffled to the mattress. With another undignified groan, he flopped face forward on the bed. Morgen, meanwhile, took a seat in a chair set at the bedside and set the food tray on the nightstand. Father looked at his son.

Then, there was the sound of a voice being muffled as Valerian spoke directly into the mattress, having not bothered to move.

“Oh you…” Morgen sighed. Then he rolled Valerian onto the boy’s back. “Mind telling me that again?”

With Valerian’s face visible again, Morgen could see that his son was now pouting instead of glaring.

“I’m not that sick, dad…” Valerian attempted to argue. “It’s only a stuffy nose. It’s probably just aller—!” He was cut off by a coughing fit, one so volatile that he winced and curled in on himself. When the fit calmed down, Valerian looked up at Morgen. “Maybe also a cough?”

“Tsk tsk tsk. You take after your mother,” Morgen remarked with a chuckle. “Back in the day, Josie would stubbornly refuse to be doted upon if she was anything less than bedridden.”

“But I just can’t sit still in bed while stuff happens outside without me! Al and Varg are probably out on missions! Iris could be training and I need to train too! And Fried could be going to House Vangeance without me!”

Morgen let Valerian vent and took a moment to stir the porridge, keeping the heat evenly distributed.

“I bet even Sable and Blanche are doing something fun while I’m stuck here sick…”

“Val, you don’t have to worry about missing out on life,” Morgen said. He held out the porridge and waited for Valerian to sit up and take the bowl from his hands. “Being sick is a part of life, albeit an unpleasant part. You simply have to learn how to make the most of the time you spend not being at 100%.”

“How exactly do I do that?” asked Valerian before blowing on a spoonful of porridge and taking the bite. “I mean, you won’t exactly—” He coughed a couple times. “You won’t let me go outside…”

“You could curl up with a book, for one.”

“Boring.”

“You just haven’t found the right type of book to read.”

Valerian gave a half-hearted shrug in reply.

“I can bring you a Sound Magic projector so you can listen to music. You could take a long soak in the bath with some expensive bath salts. Or maybe I could be convinced to go to the butcher shop and buy your favorite jerky.”

At that last suggestion, Valerian paused mid-bite.

Morgen wasn’t proud to offer a bribe but it couldn’t have been wrong if it was merely between father and son.

Make It Up to Me, II (M)

Pairing: D.O x Reader x ???

Summary: This was definitely not Gucci but it certainly would be an unforgettable birthday gift.

Warnings: explicit mentions of BDSM, D/s dynamics, kink negotiation, implied voyeurism/exhibitionism

Part One | Part Three

“That’s not Gucci.”

“No,” a chocolatey voice purred smoothly from a plump pout, “it’s not.  It’s Givenchy to be exact.”

Your eyes narrowed into an appraising glare as you took in the man stood in the middle of your doorway.  The first thing you noticed aside from his heart-shaped lips and unblinking owlish eyes that boldly stared back into yours was his height:  He was short.  And you weren’t just saying that because he didn’t match your Amazonian height; he was well and truly short despite the five centimeter inserts undoubtedly present in his shoes, which appeared to be custom Italian leather. Despite his height, he was of a rather sturdy build: His figure perfectly filled out the bespoke double breasted suit he wore—Tom Ford, if you had to hazard a guess—which peeked out from beneath his Givenchy overcoat. You had to admit his style was impeccable and his attention to detail, as clearly demonstrated by the fact that each article of his clothing was the same inky shade of black despite their differing brands, was remarkable. All in all, he was small, dark, and handsome.  Chanyeol certainly had interesting taste, and this… “gift” was no exception.

“May I come in?” the mysterious man questioned in that deep baritone voice of his that did not match his stature at all.

You shrugged and stepped aside, figuring it would be rude of you to dismiss and then have to deal with Chanyeol’s annoyingly effective pout. “Come in.”

“Thank you.”  He strode past you on his way to your living room, you mere steps behind him.

“So… Who are you exactly?”

The man turned on his heel, a pleasant yet restrained smile etched across his strangely soft features. “My name is Do Kyungsoo,” he calmly introduced himself as he extended his hand for you to shake, “and I am a professional Dominant.”

You froze mid-handshake. There was no way you’d heard that right. “Excuse me?”

“Oh, I’m sorry, was my pronunciation off?” he questioned in near-perfect English, the ease with which he switched from his native language to yours made your head spin. “Sometimes loaner words sound foreign in the context of a different tongue. Should we continue the evening in English?”

Was he…was he showing off?  Your mouth twitched in annoyance at his smugness, but you quickly shook it off.  “No, your pronunciation is fine. I’m just a bit taken aback,” you clarified, your Korean dripping in honeyed innocence.  He hummed softly in acknowledgement. This man was a conundrum. How could someone so small and so soft-looking possibly be the type to be assertive and commanding toward any partner, let alone you, the perfect picture of pride, determination, strength, and resilience—aka, The Ultimate Brat.

Yeah, no.

There was no way this was going to work. Chanyeol must have tripped over his own toes again and smacked his big head hard enough to dislodge the little bit of sense he had tucked  away between his Dumbo ears.

“I know what you’re thinking.”  He smiled that same soft, shallow smile that didn’t quite reach his eyes as he carefully shrugged off his overcoat, laying it delicately over the back of the wingback armchair.

“Oh, you do?” you countered in that same honeyed tone as you internally forced yourself to keep your eyes from rolling all the way back until you saw your brain.

“You’re wondering how this is supposed to work and if your partner Mr. Park really thought this through. How can someone who looks like me—short and almost cherubic in appearance, if I dare to be so boldly poetic—possibly be a dominant person in general, let alone in intimate settings, such as the bedroom?”  You blinked, careful to keep a stoic expression on your face despite the shock coursing through your system considering he’d just repeated your thoughts practically verbatim.  Not willing to accept the fact that he was a telepath (because that would be freaky—cool, but still freaky), you chalked it up to it being the result of him frequently being asked such questions.  He gracefully lowered himself into the oversized chair (and it really took everything in you not to coo at how tiny and adorable he looked against the large backdrop) and crossed his legs, tugging at his cuffed sleeves before carefully crossing his hands in his lap.  “The answer to your question is that it is exceedingly easy.”

A bemused chuckle floated from you.  “I’m sorry but I think you might have spoken to the wrong Mr. Park because one thing I am not is easy. So—“

“I spoke to the correct Mr. Park,” he interrupted calmly, “and he stressed that fact to me repeatedly.  Just as I assured him, let me assure you as well that I am more than capable of handling you. In fact,” a dark smirk pulled at the corner of his lips, “brats like are my specialty.”

You scoffed, “I am not just some brat.”

“Yes, you are. Your denying such a blatantly obvious fact does nothing to dissuade me in believing it, but rather just confirms what we both apparently know to be true.  But no matter, I still won’t have much trouble breaking you.”

Narrowing your eyes, you crossed your arms and leaned back against the cushioned back of the sofa. “I don’t submit to just anyone.”

He shrugged, “I’m not just anyone.”

“And why should I believe that? I don’t even know you.”

“No, you don’t.  I will admit it is rather unfair that I know more about you than you do me. So let’s change that, shall we?  Ask me anything you’d like.”

“How old are you?” you immediately fired off.

“More than old enough to be in this community and own my own business.”

“How long have you been in the community and had this business?”

“I’ve been a member of the community for eight years and have had my business for six years.”

“How have I never heard of you before now then?  Is ‘Do Kyungsoo’ even your real name?”

“It’s real enough for our purposes, yes.  I operate my business via word of mouth.”

Your jaw slackened slightly.  Word of mouth.  Had Chanyeol subbed for this man before?  You certainly wouldn’t put it past him and it’s not like such a revelation would upset you. But in that moment you felt pure jealously slice through you as you thought of your goofy, loud, precious boyfriend being pushed to the edge over and over again without even inviting you to watch. The bastard.  “Hold on. How did Chanyeol get your information?”

“I am not at liberty to say; but please know I came very highly recommended.”

“So he never subbed for you before?”

“Again, I am not at liberty to say.  I sign an NDA for the benefit and security of each of my clients.”

Your brow furrowed. “An NDA? Really?”

“While I pride myself on my discretion and most of my clients are comfortable enough with just my word, it has been my policy from the very beginning to have such agreements in place for the sake of my more finicky clients as they need something a bit more binding, shall we say, in order to agree to soliciting my services.”

“And do you already have one prepared for me?”

“I do,” he confirmed with a nod.

“Let me see it,” you demanded, stretching out your hand expectantly.

“As you wish,” he conceded as he produced the agreement from his duffel bag (which you hadn’t even noticed until that very moment) with a seemingly uncharacteristic flourish.  “I have six copies in total drafted, one set of three in English for your benefit and the other set in Korean for Mr. Park’s, with each party involved receiving a copy of each. As you can see, Mr. Park has already signed and I will sign after you do. But first,” his voice trailed off as he slid a sleek dossier from his bag toward you.  “We must negotiate and agree to terms. I’ve already had a very thorough consultation with Mr. Park and he provided me a detailed framework from which to operate.  However, as he is an indirect party in this evening’s proceedings, I need to confirm which kinks will be in play this evening as well as define and set your boundaries.”

You flicked open the dossier and carefully scanned over each word, every turned page leaving you feeling more and more exposed.  Thorough was an understatement.  On one hand, you were impressed and quite flattered Chanyeol had practically listed every little thing that made you tick.  On the other, you felt a bit perturbed that a literal stranger knew these incredibly personal and intimate things about you.  Yes, it was his job to know these things, but did he really have to know all of this?  And did he have to bullet it no less?  You took a deep, steadying breath as you closed the folder before handing it back to him.  “Everything listed looks good to me,” you said nonchalantly.

A deep chuckle rumbled through his chest.  “Well of course everything looks good to you, they’re your kinks after all,” he pointed out.

“Touché.  So how exactly are we going to do this then?”

Kyungaoo shifted forward in his seat, a wicked glint flickering in the depths of his sable eyes.  “Mr. Park made it very clear to me during our discussion you, as you so perfectly declared earlier, ‘don’t sub for just anyone.’  Well, I don’t accept just any sub, especially when it comes to beats such yourself.”  He held up his hand to cut your denial off before you could even vocalize a syllable.  “Don’t deny it. We’ve already confirmed you are and Mr. Park mentioned it at least six times in our consultation.  You are a brat, but a very unique one at that.  As such, I have a rather unique playtime proposition for you.”

You lifted your brow skeptically. “What would that be?”

“Suppose you were the Dominant partner in a scene, what are the top five kinks your ideal sub would have?”

You blanched. You were horrible at making decisions. “Just five?”

He nodded, the glint in his eye burning brightly now, “Just five.”

“How the hell am I supposed to choose just five? I can barely decide what to wear on a day to day basis! There’s no way I can—“

“Please, try to calm yourself. These aren’t the only five kinks we’ll explore in tonight’s scene. These will just be the foundation on which the scene will build.”

“Are you going to be my sub?”

“No, I will not.”

“Then who will be? Chanyeol?”

“No, as previously stated, Mr. Park will be an indirect participant this evening.  The submissive partner for this evening’s scene will depend on your answers. So, please, what are the five kinks?”

“Um…” Your voice trailed off as you lowered your eyes to stare absentmindedly at the closed dossier laid before you. Okay, you could do this. All you needed to do was ramble off the first five that came to your head. And that is exactly what you did after a brief moment of silence: “Edge play, sense deprivation though no blindfolds should be used on me, humiliation and degradation, bondage but not necessarily shibari since I’m too impatient to properly rig someone, and anything leather is always my style.”

His smirk widened greatly as he mulled over your list. “I think I have the perfect sub for you.”  He clapped his hands loudly twice; and less than three seconds later, a sharp knock resounded on the door.  Kyungsoo motioned toward the entrance, “You should go answer it. And no, it’s not Gucci either, but I think you’ll find it quite an acceptable substitute. After all, it’s Burberry made and very well mannered.”
