#actually I want to take him to a mineral and rock show

[cr1ms0nking]

😳😩🥵😮‍💨 < that’s all I have to say about this.

(It’s like he makes it his personal mission to make us blush ❤️)

(Ignore the fact that my Tav looks like he’s been beaten up. He has been)

─ ‧ ִ ۫✭ A rock for a dragon

Malleus Draconia x Reader

Summary: You found a rock and gave it to Malleus because it reminded you of him.

Word count: 899

I kinda want to draw him with his tiny pretty black rock.

══════ ⋆★⋆ ═══════ ⋆★⋆ ═══════ ⋆★⋆ ══════

Malleus wasn't a stranger of people feeling uneasy around him. Everyone thought and expected too much out of him. He was used to such thing, even if he wasn't too fond of it. Not many could just approach him casually and make small talk. They either treated him too formally, too artificially or they ran because Sebek scared them off. He could count with his fingers all of the people that genuinely appreciated him and he still would have some space left. He had his friends sure, but he never quite had something true. Of course that was until a particular human came along. 

Oh how he cherished you. You would wave, talk to him and even invite him to anything you had the chance to. No one else treated him in that way. That’s why whenever your familiar head would pop up, when your voice reached his ears or when your eyes stared at him, he knew he was about to have a good day. 

“Tsunotaro!”

A familiar voice said, and the smile that appeared on his face was almost automatic. When you walked towards him, the normally unapproachable fae housewarden looked over your direction with small fondness in his eyes. That little pet name, he had grown fond of it too. It always caused that fuzzy feeling in his chest. You ran all the way to where he stood, and you seemed to be holding something between your palms. 

“Child of man, what a pleasant surprise. Is there anything you need from me?” He asked, curious green eyes peering at your shorter figure.

“Take a look at what I found!” You replied excitedly. After that, you showed him. 

There was a small rock on your palm, a black one. It looked smooth but it had some sharp edges here and there. Upon closer inspection, it looked like black obsidian. Is that why you acted so excited? How charming.

“Look! It's a shiny polished rock! I found it near Ramshackle and it reminded me of you right away!" You beamed with joy. 

Malleus focused on the last sentence. You found a rock and you immediately brought it to him because it had reminded you of him? What simple way of thinking, and yet he was delighted to know that was the reason and not casual love for minerals. 

“You thought of me from a rock?” He questioned, cocking his head to his left just slightly. 

"Oh not because it's a rock, but because it's so black and shiny. It reminded me of your horns or your hair. So I thought 'Malleus would like it' and I cleaned it up and brought it. Do you like it?" You replied right away, as if your logic made absolute sense. 

That made him even more delighted to hear. It was actually very adorable of you. Malleus carefully took the shiny rock  into his hand to look closely at it, examining the obsidian for a moment. 

“I do, I like it very much” He answered, his voice sounding almost as soft as the way he stared at you. 

"I am glad, I thought it would be silly, you know? It's just a rock, why would a fae prince be impressed when he can have thousands of rocks? But I went for it anyway” You said, and he could see where you were coming from. 

He had received thousands of gifts in the past. Lustrous jewelry, expensive treasure, accessories, trinkets, food, and more. All of that was true, and yet this one was different. It was a gift meant for him. Not because of its price or value, but because it was given from the memory of him. He was kept in your mind. What else could he ask for?

Just being in someone's mind, not because of his power or his position. Not at all, just him. Oh he wanted to do anything for you now. If you asked for all the gold in the world he would hand you even more somehow.

“It is not just a rock. It is special” He said, still touching the rock with his gloved fingers. 

"Oh you really think so? Thank you so much. I hope you treasure it. I would too if you gave me a rock" You said before suddenly looking as if you remembered something. "Oh I have to go back to Ramshackle, I will see you later!” You replied and immediately bolted through the halls. 

He only smiled politely and waved you away, since you ran off so fast. Once he lost your figure his gaze went back to the rock. He touched it close to his chest, as if it was the most valuable treasure ever. He would never lose it. He kept thinking about you. The way you showed it to him so happily and the happy look on your face when you said you liked it. It was priceless. His heart almost skipped a beat. How could you be that adorable? It was like magic. 

“So endearing…” He muttered fondly to himself before placing it in his pocket to avoid losing it. 

Since that day, he had been carrying it around with him. Everywhere. It didn’t matter where he went, the little rock was coming with him. Occasionally he would take it out and stare at it, with the most adoring look one could give to something. And he definitely wanted to give you something back, but he hadn’t found yet what could possibly summarize how much he felt for you. He could only hope that when he found it, you would be just as happy as how he feels right now.

Fluff jayvik hcs because why the fuck not.

Jayce is the in-universe equivalent to Latino. This is not a headcanon I'm Chris Lane himself.

Outside of their hex work, Viktor is quite fond of biology. He appreciates learning about evolution and how many different life forms deal with the same problems but face it in different ways. He is that one bug lover in every campus. Particularly fond of butterflies. He's got a few pinned down on his wall. Jayce finds it sort of creepy but keeps quiet.

Jayce is a geology nerd. He started getting into it while searching for a mineral that could resemble the first "stone" given to him by the mage when he was about 12. This was his very first theory: the arcane is actually stored in rocks and can be extracted like gold or such. It was clearly wrong but left him with a vast knowledge of just rocks. He has a million little chips around his bedroom. He fears the day he has to move because they're all heavy as fuck when combined.

Jayce is actually really athletic. But, like, for health benefits. He does appreciate his own body and WILL flex it if given the opportunity, but it's not the main reason why he exercises/works out (yes I know the forge bla bla I'm talking when he finally becomes a scientist guys). He wants to live a long life to take care of his mom, and knows that a good physique would make that easier.

Jayce ends up annoying Viktor into agreeing to do some low-impact stretches with him when they spend more than 24 hours just sitting around in the lab. And I'm talking VERY low impact. Wrist stretches, shoulder openers, some neck looseners. He's actually really patient and caring when they do this, and Viktor has definitely fallen a little bit more in love with each muscle movement.

Expanding on that: after 48 hours of work he Will Get The Zoomies. This ends up in Viktor, sitting peacefully, counting down the pushup reps Jayce is doing. He needs to get rid of all that energy and Viktor is more than happy to help. Especially when Jayce eventually starts taking out his shirt to do his little routines.

Jayce likes psychology and general health. He is really in tune with his own emotions in the show, okay? This man is reading self help books in his spare time. A lot of time the theory doesn't actually make it to his heart but at least he understands it. Viktor finds the chemistry side of psychology interesting, but is not that interested in the rest of it. Basically psychology vs psychiatrist ig.

They're both dinosaur nerds. Jayce is a big fan of their diets/possible mating rituals while Viktor is obsessed with fossils and evolution. Jayce likes flying specimens more, while Viktor is partial to the marine ones.

Viktor's one and only loved physical activity is swimming. Takes the weight off his leg and spine for a second. One of the few "luxuries" he owns is a decently sized bathtub with all the proper accommodations to get in and out without help.

Viktor is a snake person. They're easy to care for (if you just follow the right steps), easy to transport, don't require that much physical effort, will not wreck his house while he's gone, et cetera. Of course he doesn't have a twelve feet venomous one. Probably more of a cornsnake/Rosy boa guy. Which also means that the first time Jayce visits his apartment, the man almost dies in five consecutive heart attacks.

Jayce would definitely love a golden retriever I'm sorry he truly is the living bisexual boy stereotype. Physical affection, a good excuse to go outside for a run, force him to keep a routine. I actually think he would never own one on his own because he knows his schedule is way too fucked up for a pet, but Ximena does have one to keep her company and he loves it. I can only see this man with either a cat that comes to his balcony every night or some obscure brand of bird.

Jayce is amazing at cooking, but incredibly messy and takes his sweet time with it. He had time to learn from his mom and sees cooking as an act of love that should be appreciated. Viktor is really fast and efficient, but can end up with tasteless stuff. Grew up with hastily stolen ingredients and half a bottle of kitchen oil in Zaun. Food is fuel kind of mentality.

The only person who Viktor accepts constant help from is Jayce, and this is because he knows that Jayce is Just Like That. There was one or two big fights about it at first, but, with times, he's learned that Jayce is doing this out of the wish to show love and not out of pity or concern. Jayce is well aware that Viktor can adjust his own brace and has no problem with fixing his own tie, but he loves loves loves being useful.

This evolves in Viktor trying to reciprocate the gestures. Keeping Jayce's foundation on his bag (there is no way Mr. Charisma doesn't cover his eye bags every time they need to be in public) and learning how to properly apply makeup for him. He keeps an extra pair of earphones after finding out that Jayce is actually just as easily overstimulated as him. Remembers his coffee order, straightens out his collar, refills his stapler and clip drawer.

They are PARTNERS okay? I need the little domestic signals. No big "I love you's" but daily "I got you that cinnamon latte monstrosity you call a beverage" or "You forgot them? Don't worry. I have emergency pain pills in my wallet. Yes, the ones you take. No, it's technically not stalking if you leave the receipts laying around."

They both really enjoy videogames. Viktor likes noir/detective ones and Jayce is a fan of anything that includes racing. They seldom play the same game at the same time, more often just keeping the other company while doing their own thing.

They can both sew. Pretty similar to the cooking one. Jayce learnt for pleasure, Viktor out of necessity.

Have seen the other sob silently over failed equations and burnt metals so many times that they both have perfected the routine by now. Viktor likes to be given space and Jayce needs someone to come calm him down. Which is hell, because Jayce hates leaving Viktor alone. He feels useless. And Viktor heats having to do the whole consolation thing. He feels inadequate. But that's what the other needs, so they try.

When really stressed, Jayce has been known for having psychosomatic thermal issues. Viktor has had to throw blanket after blanker over him because he will Not Move if his body gets too cold, which in return makes him panic, which makes him even colder.

Both fuckin hate winter. It always finds them with So Many Extra Sweaters in the lab. Viktor carries an extra scarf around. Just in case. Jayce's PTSD gets triggered, while Viktor's body just reacts horribly to the cold. Some days they just wrap themselves up against one another and try to guard off the cold.

Viktor has some auditory hallucinations. Very rarely. Mostly of Rio. He doesn't want to talk about it. So he doesn't. Jayce notices, but knows better than to go poke and prode at Viktor's feelings. It doesn't usually end well.

Are both amazing at chess. Have threatened to kill each other over it. Had to take out the board from the lab after the sixth consecutive tie.

(Mel is actually the only other person in the building who can easily, quickly and steadily beat them, including when they work together. Even Heimerdinger gets thrown a few curves here and there)

Jayce Can Not stand it when Viktor is disrespected, but never steps in. He knows Viktor will defend himself and will only get in the middle of it if it gets physical. The one time he tried Viktor's cane met his shins about five times in a row. It was a "small warning about limits."

Jayce avoids ordering junk food when they work for hours, for both of their health. He also doesn't want to sacrifice taste, so he buys from two/three exclusive places that can meet their nutritional + palatial needs. Viktor can, will and has eaten only pizza for about three days straight.

Had he never been... well, the man of progress, Jayce would've turned into either a bioengineer or surgeon. I have no idea on how to explain this but I need u to believe me please (I'm just a healthcare student with severe delusions)

Jayce's mom makes a big deal of his birthday. Viktor denies being jealous. It doesn't work. Next year, Ximena also makes a big deal of his special day.

Viktor is currently unaware of his exact date of birth. He picked one based on analysis and what his mother could recount but has never known the exact number

They get married and live happily ever after idc idc

Addition 1: Both are Well Aware of the law (Jayce's little sister is a cop + Viktor just like reading everything). Can both hold their own in a legal conversation. They just choose to ignore it. Have a vast knowledge of legal technicalities and use them only to bend said laws. The more they learn, the worse they get. Basically those guys who read the rulebook only to find loopholes on it.

[phantomposting]

Back at it again with the half asleep prompts and boy howdy is this a prompt. Well kinda? It's more a rant of what I'm desperate to see more of in DP x DC fics with some ideas of how to utilize it within.

So we all know the episode where freakshow hypnotized Danny with the red rock. I desperately want this rock used more in DP x DC fics and would do absolutely anything to see it happen. I know the first one freakshow used was destroyed but tbh if it's a mineral there's definitely bound to be more of it.

So many incidences with so many villains could happen from this there's absolutely any possibility just take your pick!

There could be a Danny and Damian are twins au where Ra's finds out the heir he thought was dead was actually alive and has powers now! Even better yet all he needs to ensure complete and utterly obedience is one little red rock. This could lead to the bats having to solve a string of murders where someone literally just grips peoples hearts or something. Something that is subtle and doesn't show up very easily that's a complete anomaly. Then upon finding out it's the missing twin and mind control they have to break him free and help him recover not just physically but mentally!

Maybe there's an au where Danny is related to someone in the batfam or dating someone in the batfam. Joker finds out and finds out the kid can easily be controlled by a little red rock. He of course uses the hell out of this to fuck with the bats even going as far to torture this kid. This could really happen with any villain. It could also be a matter of Danny bing the newest bird in the family and a villain finding a way to control a bird and use them however they want to!

This could work with interactions with other heroes too! Imagine Lex Luthor finds out about this pretty incompetent preteen with such powers he could probably take down superman if he were competent with said powers and he finds out all it takes to control said preteen is a little red rock. Of course he would abuse that and force this kid to try and deal with superman.

Imagine Constantine being the only one to realize this random ghost kid is being controlled. The JL is after him for who knows what crimes and this guy has to explain no not all gosts are evil like the leading scientists suggest and that this one specifically is pretty harmless to humans normally but some asshole with a red rock decided it would be funny to force him to do bad stuff.

Imagine his protection core getting damaged from being forced to do bad and he literally almost fades from it and whomever saves him is absolutely pissed.

Genuinely there are so so many possibilities for any flavor of au you want! I am the number 1 fan and advocate of using this silly stone in fics I'm begging yall please abuse this little red rock bring ur spin on it to the world I desperately want more fics that utilize this!

Spark Chapter One

“I'm really looking forward to the race! I wonder who's gonna be competing this year!” Snowflare bounced a little while she walked beside her mate, the very strong and very protective D16. “Who knows! Maybe Mirage! I know you think he's cute.” The mech replied with a teasing smile. Snowflare only shook her helm and hooked her arm around D16's. “The only mechs I find cute are you and Orion… . Speaking of, where is he? I hadn't seen him this morning.”

Just as the femme inquired on the whereabouts of her other mate, two larger mechs landed in front of her and D16. Peaking her helm over, she could spot Orion trying to reason with the two. Suddenly, D16 crashed his cart into the two larger mechs. As they turned to berate him, Snowflare slyly assisted Orion in hiding from them. Once the mechs ran off in search of Orion, D16 and Snowflare boarded the train carrying the other miners.

“Alright, Coast is clear.” D said as Snowflare giggled watching Orion pop out the cart. “D16, Now I may be a little rusty but corroded, that's too far.” Orion joked. “Let me guess, you checked outta the archives?” D16 asked while looking at his friend. As the mechs talked, Snowflare was busy looking out the train window. Her optics though covered, still widened with wonder and excitement like usual whenever she caught the sight of the large Sentinel Prime monument.

From the day she came online, Snowflare had always looked up to Sentinel. He was her hero. If she could meet him, she would. “Hey, Sweetspark, come on!” Orion called out to the femme before taking her smaller servo into his and kissing it. “Ugh you show off. We’ll see you after our shift, ok?” Snowflare nodded as she received a sweet kiss from D16 then Orion before the three went their separate ways.

While the mechs mined the energon, Snowflare pushed the carts to the converter belt where she and other miners tilted the energon rich rocks onto the belt for them to be processed then made into the cubes the planet consumed. Her job, while not as dangerous as her mates, was still time consuming and hard on her joints. Later that day, Snowflare and another femme talked about their mates. “I suspect he's going to ask me to be his Sparkmate soon! Oh I’m so excited!!” The femme squealed before she asked Snowflare about Orion and D16.

“They’re a bit of a handful but I wouldn't have it any other way. I love them very much.” As Snowflare finished her statement, she noticed her two mates trudging over to their lockers. “Uh oh, something happened…I’ll uh…I’ll see you later Nightbird.” As Snowflare made her way over to her mates, they both tried to play off what had happened to them. Eventually, Orion spilled the bolts and revealed what actually happened on their shift.

“I’m sorry Snow, but your split spark is really mad. She might not be in the mood to even talk to you. And she loves to talk to you.” Orion said as he took her smaller servo into his. Snowflare simply smiled before kissing his face plate. “You two let me worry about her, I just want you two not to do something that dangerous again. I don’t want to have to bury you both because you decide to play the hero.” Orion nodded before he leaned in and kissed Snowflare gently and pulled away to let D16 do the same.

Suddenly an announcement came in. “Attention All Sectors. Please Stand By For A Live Transmission From Sentinel Prime.” As the leader of the Cybertron appeared in holo form, Snowflare smiled brightly while D16 cheered. Orion smiled as he placed a servo on Snowflare’s shoulder armor. The three along with their fellow miners listened intently to the message. Sentinel failed to find the matrix yet again but he assured the masses that he would indeed find it.

The second message was to inform that all shifts would be off for the Iacon5000. A high octane race around the city. An event that displayed the talents of many transformers. And the absolute favorite event of D16. it used to be because of all the racers and the high adrenaline it gave off. But now, it was because the race was where he and Orion met Snowflare. Many cycles ago. He remembered it as if it happened only a few moments ago.

He and Orion were never the type to really chase after femmes, mostly due to the fact that many of the femmes they found pretty were out of their class. Them being miners while the femmes were transformers. So what were the odds of the two mechs getting seats right next to mini con Snowflare and her older split spark Elita-One.

D16 knew the moment their eyes met, that she just had to be his. Things did get a bit rocky when Orion revealed he was also pining after Snowflare but after coming to the agreement they could just share, life became so much better. “Oh yea! I hope Mirage wins this year! Oooh or Behemoth!” Snowflare exclaimed as she joined in on the excitement of the mention of the race.

The very next day, Snowflare scored exceptionally good seats and waited for her mates to show up. While she waited, Orion and D16 climbed a ladder to the light looking over the starting line. “Don’t be a glitch, this’ll be totally worth it!” Orion said as he climbed the ladder. “Hey, you don’t be a glitch. Look, I know this is like fun for you to loom around but if I miss any part of the Iacon5000 I swear I will…smelt your…face …off…” D16’s sentence trailed off as his optics were met with the tremendously gorgeous view of the racers and the crowd.

His optics then zoomed in on Snowflare as she cheered with the crowd. “Ugh Primus, how can a femme be so damn pretty? Like he must have used some kind of special energon to make her.” Orion chuckled as his optics zoomed in on her as well. “Beautiful sight. Can you believe she’s all ours? Don’t you wanna impress her? Don’t you wanna make her proud to have us as her mates?” Orion asked as he slyly put the jetpack on D16’s back.

“Are you kidding? If I was able to do something like that, afterwards, I’d ask her to marry…..Why’d you bring jetpacks?” The mech turned to his friend and eyed him confused. “It’s time to show them we’re more than meets the eye.” D16 immediately knew what Orion meant. “Oh no…” As the race kicked off, Snowflare was one of the very first to notice two familiar mechs amongst the transformers. “Orion?! D?!”

[writella]

I know others have probably said this before, but I just love the idea that Daryl would be the type to give you little things— small treasures— or do things for you— share a sweet moment, or of course, be his heroic self and help you (or really you help each other) out of harms way. I think it’s because one of his love languages obviously has to be acts of service. He may not be a big talker, but the way he fights for his loved ones is nothing sort of fearless, and as I heard Norman Reedus say in an interview, when it comes to Daryl as a person, “it’s about what you do, and what you say, and what you follow up with…” Similarly, I think this is how he would show his sincerity and care for a partner and since he may not be quick with the verbal initiation…

⋆｡˚ this care would first be shown in the things he gives you or does with you like… ⋆｡˚

- The way you’d probably have variety of little knickknacks all around your room or ones that you’d keep in your pocket from things Daryl has found for you outside.

- Perhaps he would find cool looking or pretty rocks on the ground from a supply run or from hunting in the forest.

- He’d pick the interesting ones, the ones that glittered or shimmered in the sun, or if he was lucky enough to find it, maybe there’d be a colorful mineral.

- You’d have them specifically placed all around different corners in your room, the collection getting too big to keep in one place.

- Maybe he’d also start a charm collection for you.

- One time in the woods, the two of you tracked a deer, or really Daryl did. You stood behind, taking it as a hunting lesson for yourself.

- When he caught the deer, you both went closer to the body and in the corner of your eye you saw something that shined in the grass.

- Crouching down to pick it up you discovered a tiny charm of the sun. “Look!” You held it to the sky so the sun could shine on it further.

- “We just caught a deer, and you’re lookin at that?”

- “We just caught a deer for the first time in months and this was right by them… it’s good luck, literally a lucky charm.”

- You clipped it onto your necklace so you didn’t loose it.

- There was something about how the charm, and the actual sun, and your eyes shined perfectly together with it, so after that, he wanted to find one with a moon and another with stars to match.

- Then, he’d just start collecting whatever charm or even keychains that had a clasp or jump ring to add to your collection.

- You didn’t even think it was something you’d be interested in starting until he found those other two. It felt special because he gave it to you and it made you become obsessed so much so that you even joined him in the pursuit of finding charms or cool little keychains yourself.

- It became a fun little side quest for the both of you, a-not-actual-competition-competition to find the most interesting and unique ones when you happened to be on runs together.

- You’d both keep an eye out on the ground or whenever you searched vacant neighborhood houses: looking in the kids room for charms or on the key hooks by the front door for keychains that could possibly work.

- If either of you found one you didn’t have, you’d add it to your collection. Or if you found those bigger keychain character figurine ones, you’d both give those to Judith so she could play with it. Unbeknownst to her, you were helping her set up a collection as well.

- You would use them to hopefully make a charm bracelet in the future if you found the right chain for it or if you could find pieces to make one yourself; or you would just switch them off with your necklace chain depending on the day; or have them on your backpack or jeans or belt if you could.

- Now here’s a moment: after a lot of begging and wear down he would finally teach you how to ride his bike.

- You two were a team, and he knew he would probably need you to know how to ride eventually. Maybe it would come in handy when the group is attacked or they are the one doing the attacking. Who knows where he’ll be or where you’ll be in those moments? Or who the bike is closer to in that instance. This way, you have a possible escape plan with that extra skill.

- You’d probably even get a little too comfortable after you got better at riding and try to hop on first, taking the main spot.

- He doesn’t always let you, pushing you to the back so he can get in front, but sometimes… sometimes, he likes letting you take the wheel, because he knows you like it from time to time, and because he likes to see you smile; likes to see you proud of your capability.

- I think he’d also try to find a special knife for you. Something unique like Carol’s or that has a nice sleeve like Beth’s did. Something uniquely your own. Just like he has his bow.

- And with that, if you didn’t have one yet, I also think he might help you find the best weapon for you. Another thing that you could have as your own that you could become very skilled at fighting with.

- One time, he’d even gift you with the action of allowing you to talk a picture of him: Rick’s polaroid would have been in your backpack one day as you take a break from your travels outside of Alexandria. You and Daryl are sitting under a tree near an open grass plain. You would see how the wind made strands of his hair fly, making him look even more effortless in his uniquely strange natural beauty way. You’d take the camera out slowly, knowing he’d protest, and of course he did.

- “Please,” you would plead softly, “we don’t get to do things like this all the time. All we use the camera for is to document the houses, and the community work, or when Rick used it for the Savior war… it would be nice to have a nice picture for once.”

- He would look down impassively for a moment. You couldn’t tell it from his face— sometimes the quiet usually meant no— but he was actually deciding on doing it for you.

- Finally he says, “If I gotta take one, then it’s going to be of both of us.” He looks up at you through his hair, hiding the fact that he wanted to see how excited you were going to get. “Don’t need no one thinking I wanted a picture of just myself.”

- It makes you laugh. This is even better actually. A picture of you and him to have; a piece of you and him that will last forever.

- He would also gift you with one of his rare touches.

- Maybe it would start with allowing you to hold onto him while you’re on the back of his bike just a little closer. Or him pushing his neck back into you just the slightest bit more when you rest your head on his shoulder as he rides.

- Then maybe, the hugs would start increasing. Him not only giving you one after you’ve just escaped death yet again, but after he comes home one day from a run, maybe it happens just because now.

- And finally, this would all lead up to a kiss. Perhaps first on the side of your head, in your hair, as he comes home from a long journey one day, until the time finally comes where you both express all the things that have kept in your head about each other for so long, revealing your love.

- It would all commence to the kiss that you always wished would be placed right on your lips. It might just be the best gift of all. But not just because it’s a kiss, but because you finally get to love him in the way you’ve always desired. As your man, as your partner, as your Daryl.

So… this may or may not be a teaser for the next fic? >:) Stay tuned. ♡

[gotstabbedbyapen]

But now we must know, what are your headcanons for the first generation of Gods siblings? Personally? Zeus isn’t allowed to swim with Poseidon cause they always fight and Zeus goes toaster in bathtub mode where he’s the toaster.

I haven't considered Zeus doing the "toaster in bathtub" thing. Thank you Anon, I will put this into my HC list :3333

Now on with the first-generation Olympians (it's gonna be a long ride, so strap on!)

Hestia, Demeter, Hera, Hades, and Poseidon were swallowed when they were young kids/nearing adolescence, not newborn babies. I want Kronos and Rhea's family to have some years of happiness together before the prophecy ruin them all.

Out of the Big Six, Demeter and Hades look the most alike to Kronos (unrelated note: Persephone looks the most alike to Kronos out of the 2nd gen)

Demeter is Kronos' favorite child because she shares his power over agriculture. Kronos has even planned her future to be his successor as goddess of the harvest.

Poseidon has the fear of dark, closed places due to his trauma of being locked in Kronos' stomach. During his first centuries ruling the ocean, he cannot stay in his kingdom at night because the realm gets extremely dark and it paranoid him. Poseidon can't go to the deep trenches either.

To cope with his fear, Poseidon's bedroom is filled with bioluminescent algae and jellyfish.

After escaping Kronos' stomach, Hera was sent to take refuge at Oceanus and Tethys' place. Around this time, she became besties with Amphitrite (I see Amphi as a daughter of Nereus but she is close with the other sea deities too)

Thetis and Hera's friendship is underrated. Hera, Thetis, and Amphitrite have occasional girl's nights where they ditch their spouses to spend time together.

As besties Hera and Amphitrite share the same taste in men *looking at Zeus and Poseidon*

Hera and Amphitrite were not happy when Zeus married off Thetis. Oh boy, there were a lot of screaming and fighting for Thetis' behalf.

It was very surprising when Thetis later made her husband Peleus immortal (there is a version of that lol)

Zeus and Poseidon created the electric eel and other aquatic animals that produce electricity. The purpose? Ask them.

When Hebe was training to become the cupbearer of the gods, Zeus watched over her and gave her tips from time to time. He used to be the cupbearer of Kronos, too.

I am seriously contemplating on whether Poseidon have a thing for Odysseus or not. Like in "I want to fuck you up both ways".

Hades doesn't outright ban the others from coming to the Underworld. The reason he doesn't like them visiting often is because some will ask (read: screaming and crying at) him to resurrect their favorite mortals.

Hades adopted Cerberus some times after Typhon (Cerberus' bio father) was defeated and the doggo had nowhere to go. From then on Cerberus was living in luxury in the Underworld with the only job is to guard the door.

Hades has a messed up sense of humor after centuries of dealing with the dead, and Persephone got infected as well. If you ask Hades "Can you give me a hand?" he will give you an actual hand.

Hades x Persephone x Minthe OT3 is real.

Hades isn't some gloomy dark man. Yeah, he wears black a lot but also with gleaming gems and fine jewelries (you know, god of precious minerals and all).

You don't believe me? Here's the testimony:

(tfw your husband rocks his dress prettier than you :DDD)

The three kings didn't draw lots to determine who will rule which realm. During the Titanomachy, they grew fond over their future kingdom and showed hints of belonging to them.

Poseidon's first hint of becoming King of the Sea is that he makes lots of sea puns. Like, a lot.

They also don't have total rule over their kingdoms. Their authority is above all but still under the Primordials of their respective realms (Zeus is under Nyx, Poseidon under Pontus, Hades under Tartarus). Every time they make major changes in their kingdom, they have to consult the Primordials first.

Demeter isn't officially crowned ruler of the Mortal Realm but they all know she is in charge of the whole place.

Even though the Big Six preside over lots of domains, they don't always tend to each one themselves but have lesser deities like dryads, naiads, nepheles, etc. to assist them while they act like the head directors.

The marriages of the three kings and queens are more about political power than love. It's not that they don't have some feelings for each other though.

When they were young and Zeus is courting Hera, he once put on a peacock tail to woo her.

Demeter is married to Leto and they raised Persephone, Artemis, and Apollo together. I don't take objection.

All of the second-generation Olympians were taken care of by Hestia at least one time.

Do not mistake Hestia's dislike of violence for her incapability of inflicting violence. She can cause more damage than your mental health is prepare for.

Hestia doesn't yell or hit others, but disappointing her is the biggest crime.

Demeter makes the best vegetable dishes, roasts, soups, anything. Kids love veggies because of her. She can make you love broccoli with one meal.

Headacanon but also true myth: Demeter adopted and raised lots of kids on her own. Many of them later became her companions or spread the agricultural knowledge they learned from her to humanity. They all love mama Demeter.

Hera treats her daughters better than her sons, but it's because she is learning from her mistakes in bringing up Ares and Hephaestus. She isn't the best but she is trying everyday.

Zeus doesn't hate Ares, but what he reflects. Ares is a raw reminder of a darker side of Zeus that he'd rather pretend doesn't exist.

I've made this joke before but it's still relevant: The only thing more complicated than advance mathematics is Zeus and Hera's relationship with Ares.

Zeus' favorite children are Athena and Apollo, obviously. His least favorite (as in he doesn't care enough compared to others) are Ares and Persephone.

Iris and Chloris/Flora are not straight because of Hera, but they know they won't have any chances with her.

Zeus' first lover is Aëtos, an earth-born man who was his childhood friend when he lives in Crete.

In the modern world, the lock screen of Hera's phone has the picture of her family being happy together. And her home screen is the pic of Zeus in a Pikachu onesie.

Still in the car :’)

So all I’ve had time for is to think about how Valerian and Caladin would probably have very in depth conversations on how to avoid Overclocking (and avoiding medical personnel in Cal’s case)

I think it’d be a really rough conversation for both of them. Mainly because I don’t think Cal comes anywhere close to Valerian’s instability- or even Camellya or Calcharo. He has varied stability (as stated in his Forte Examination)

But he’s been around a while, and his own grounding techniques are still pretty different from the typically prescribed therapy.

I’m just so curious as to how that conversation would go :3

i am so glad to touch on the topic of valerian's overclocking cause he genuinely HATES when he is getting close to overclocking (for a myriad of reasons i will detail)

first of all based off the information we get from resonators like camellya (and others who are highly unstable, like calcharo and sanhua), overclocking has some SERIOUS physical affects that seem to range from exhaustion to outright physical changes.

if the topic gets brought up, it'd likely be post-mission or post-battle, winding down. either caladin or valerian talking about the battle (probably valerian honestly) as they're trying to unwind a little.

valerian would be idling with his bracers and the sleeves, where it's probably that caladin would realize how much valerian's forte affects him physically.

valerian mutters something about the pressure, and when the fabric rolls down, shards are probably falling down and out of these sleeves as he shakes them off and removes the shards like he's done a thousand times before.

if questioned, he probably kind of laughs it off, forgetting that not everyone has really seen how .. close he gets to overclocking and how constant it actually really is for valerian when he's fighting closely with people he cares about.

valerian will, sheepishly, admit he was pretty damn close to overclocking and playfully wave it off, probably joking about how "careless" caladin was and he just wanted to make sure caladin wasn't hurt (he's actually extremely terrified of hurting another resonator and friend, so battle with people he's familiar with put him under a lot of emotional strain he isn't showing, adding to that instability).

however he will absolutely jump at the chance to show caladin his own techniques to how he handles his own stress.

something i've briefly detailed was that valerian keeps a chain of stones that are wrapped in wires and trinkets, and in his previous cherished items he has a "worry stone" he uses pretty often when he can.

pre-battle: valerian will often silently take stock of his own crystals he's carrying on hand and minerals he has tied to his hip. it's a grounding technique that reminds him of the immediate space around him and the vibrations he's specifically chosen to carry with him in order to further himself (he will not actually say this exactly, but he might throw it out like "oh, i like to tell myself which rocks im carrying. did you know this one has a measured vibration of [x] ? pretty neat" because valerian himself cannot admit he's a little superstitious or at the least feels a connection and draw to the metaphysical side of these things)

during battle: valerian is probably extremely focused on the fight, but something i don't think i've ever really expanded on too deeply is that some crystals actually have associations with specific numbers (think like lucky numbers kind of things) - so all of his damage and all the numbers in his kit are actually related to the associated numbers aura quartz has. however, for valerian, his repetitive pattern is actually in measures of four ... like a standard sheet music with a 4/4 count/a metronome ticking in 4/4. (i briefly recall you said in a moot's post you played instruments, so hopefully that kinda makes some lick of sense lmao)

post battle: he has a little routine he usually follows, which includes removing the shards from the covered fabric if he did overclock/was very close to overclocking, and probably taking some time to look at the thinner crystals he is carrying through the light because he likes the way the like bounces off and around the insides of these crystals. not only is it relaxing to him, but it's a great way for him to keep himself from getting worked up again after a battle if he was a little too close to overclocking that particular day.

sorry caladin, you will probably get rock-based info dump because valerian wont just admit that He Cares About You TM but he has The Trauma

jake gyllenhaal, pansexual, cis male + he/him → isn’t that joachim goldmann? i’ve seen them hanging out with the fairies. i hear they’re 402, but they’ve only been in alexandria for 1 month ago. they seem to be philosophical & efficient, but also selfish & defensive. it’s cool that they’re capable of rock / crystal magic with life-force manipulation!

joachim goldmann was the first born to ahava & etan and known to be a part of the royal court in their region 

while they weren’t the royal family, his mother was cousins to the king & queen and that was close enough for them 

his father ran the military faction and was known to drill that persistence, determination, and need to protect those around them into joachim 

while his younger brother, micah, was able to follow the beat of his own drum 

still, he lived a good life and never had to ask for anything, so he was happy

when he came of age he started to rise up the ranks in their group’s army and then took over for his father 

then he started to travel, taking nearby countries by surprise or making peace treaties so that they could all live in harmony 

during his travels he came close with other fairies and even dragons, spending time with both kinds 

namely, he had an affair with greyson around 200 years ago and then fell for another fairy by the name of florian 

ironically both were softer than him who was always considered to be strict or rough around the edges to those that he didn’t know 

his romances even led to a child, paxton, who he came to love and adore

again, he couldn’t show others how much he actually cared for someone because that not only would show weakness, but provide a target if one of his enemies wanted to attack him 

recently, he decided to come to alexandria when he heard that it was a safe haven for supernaturals (not at all believing it) 

that’s when he came face to face with multiple exes and his son 

he’s decided to work as a miner, getting some of the precious crystals out of the caves, but he also wants to see if he could make a group of warriors out of the town and make sure that they don’t get too weak

CHARACTER HEADCANON GENERATOR

generate 10 headcanons and share whether they're true or not! repost, don't rebog.

CHONGYUN EDITION

does not know what sleep is.

HALF TRUE. chongyun does know sleep. the problem is chongyun doesn't sleep MUCH. their sleep schedule is so backwards and inconsistent, that chongyun is constantly exhausted and worn out, on account of all the work they do. when chongyun does manage to sleep, he's out like a light.

is an introvert

TRUE. chongyun is socially awkward and does not manage friendships and people well. they prefer to be alone most of the time, and not even to recharge their battery. trying to manage social cues and conversing takes all the energy out of chongyun, so he prefers to just be by himself, or at least in the company of trusted people most of the time.

is unemployed

FALSE. chongyun is liyue's most renowned exorcist, and some of that fame even extends to sumeru, if you dig deep enough into the lore. chongyun is constantly working; so many people require his time and attention, and want him to cleanse their home and/or friends of evil spirits and demons. downtime? what downtime? chongyun is 24/7 on the clock.

chongyun needs a nightlight to sleep

HALF TRUE. chongyun can sleep at any point, any time, any condition. complete darkness where one can barely see in front of their face? sure! but some lights definitely help, as chongyun prefers to see into the darkness and what might be lurking within. not that he's scared of anything, he just likes having some sort of light, especially if he's alone and can't easily see where he's walking.

tackles and wrestles people to show affection

TRUE. yes. chongyun loves to fight, he loves hand to hand combat, and loves even more when people indulge him. fight with him, and he'll be a fiercely loyal friend.

is a great artist

HALF TRUE. to a point! chongyun paints their own talismans. all the symbols and whatnot are carefully painted by hand, by chongyun. while chongyun can't draw in the traditional sense, they have mastered hand lettering and symbols and runes in order to perform their craft.

will go feral yang!drunk. watch out!

TRUE. when their yang energy takes over, chongyun becomes a more wild, almost out of control version of themself. it's still chongyun, they are still somewhat in control, just without any inhibitions holding them back. when chongyun returns to normal later on, they remember everything they've done and are incredibly apologetic over it.

if he likes someone, he will give them a pretty rock.

TRUE. it depends on like. chongyun does have a collection of rocks and minerals he collects, like cor lapis and jade. if he is close to someone, he'll give them the shiniest rock from his personal collection.

is gay.

FALSE. chongyun is actually bisexual. he likes both men AND women. though he does have a slight preference toward men.

is smart but also very stupid.

FALSE. honestly, i don't really agree with this one. i don't like that chongyun's personality in-game has been stagnant with zero development whatsoever. so no, chongyun is not stupid. chongyun is just very smart, both street smart AND booksmart. they can play dumb to appease their friends, but chongyun isn't naive or gullible.

Ok humans magic au goooooo

I don't wanna do elemental magic since there's already an avatar avatar au and it's absolutely lovely

I don't really wanna do a harry potter au because 1. Already done and 2. Hate that goddamn woman sm

But unfortunately that's all i got. Im so sorry

So ill just be making things up w very few rules and whatever

So magic. Everyone can do it. It's everything, from water to electricity to light to dark.

There's no escaping the mystical forces.

Im being basic and deciding that there are 3 levels of ppl who do magic: lower, middle and upper mages.

How do you level up? Its easy!

You die.

You straight up pass away.

Yeahhhhh death plays a very big role in this magic au. Inspired by the na'vi a lil bit here. Death is their rebirth. With every death, there is a new beginning. There is no escaping death, the same way there is no escaping life nor magic. There's no guarantee that you will be reborn after death as a more powerful being, but if you want more power, then that's just a risk you have to take.

Your death needs to have meaning. You can't just get hit by a car and come back as a middle water mage or smth.

After the first death, you're noticeably less human than before. You typically gain animalistic features–, fangs, horns, feathers, talons, scales etc.

Using this to make my human avatar ocs look actually cool. Sick of camo fr 

Yes they dress weird. They go absolutely bonkers with their fits. Practicality is an option when magic is involved.

Now moving on to the Sullys, recoms n RDA.

Jake wasn't really a mage, but thanks to him sorta rebirthing as a na'vi, he's a middle mage. I'm thinking earth–he's strong, constant, reliable, like dirt. This means that he gets the animal traaaaaaaits!!!

He might have lion-like attributes, crom him being a father trying his best. This means having a bit of a mane, bigger teeth, eyes w slits.

He can control the earth around him just fine. Need to bridge a gap? Just move some dirt. Think of anime, he can do the spikes from the ground thing, blah blah blah

He controls minerals too. This means he gives his family the most beautiful rocks in existence.

He uses it to form quick shelters from the earth to protect others during raids. He burrows into the ground and forms tunnels so they can move undetected and safely move the wounded

He'll use mud and dirt as puppets, making little shows for all the kids. They love it sm, they adore seeing the mini direhorses and ikrans he makes and the stories he tells. The only person who succeeds past his storytelling prowess is Mo'at.

Now onto his kiddos, Lo'ak:

Hasn't done his iknimaya yet, so not yet reborn.

He's showing early signs of magic tho. 

He heals a bit quicker than normal, so that's exciting. 

Kiri;

I dont think shes been reborn yet, but magic eywa Kiri bb

Like her mom, she controls plant life. She doesn't even need to connect to a plant in order for it to do anything for her.

She senses life all around and inside her

I think she can hardly wait until she manages to be reborn. Its her chance to be closer to Grace.

Will do the others soon. Maybe. Its nap time tho so dont count on it.

April is an interesting month for me, in a way or another. Two years already, back on April 7th was where my hypefixation with BW started; and on the following year, 6 days after things would instead switch towards the spanish team instead.

...Unfortunately I've already missed the first date by quite a long margin, but I'm still not giving up on posting something related to it. So, just like I did with BruShine, I'd like to share a JeanQuin draft too ;')

----

While Geology isn't Jean's thing at all, he enjoys to see Quincy getting all enthusiastic with it. Seeing the value of the soil and its minerals wasn't he ever expected to get into, but Quin's passion was enough to hook him in. Now when the two are apart, even the simplest things such as tiny rocks at the beach remind Jean of him. So when re-meeting in Perth, he likes to bring Quincy collected things that could be of his interest.

One day, within the things brought there was a little blue stone. Jean had seen many similar to those since he was a child, but he never had the interest of knowing what they were (And its not like Reef or Nice had actual good answers either). Now with a rock expert at hand, he finally wanted to get an answer.

...Though for his surprise, turns out these stones weren't a natural wonder, sadly, just glass that once fell in the sea and ended differently on the shore. Despite the dissappointment, Quincy decided to reveal he also had been collecting them a while ago. So, they decided to collaborate by merging their collections together; increasing as reunions go by.

Time passes and passes, and in one meeting, Quincy brings a surprise for Jean: A seaglass bracelet made with the stones from their private collection. Turns out one of Quincy's younger sisters had gotten into jewlery recently, begging her brother to use such a pretty material for her craft. Quincy accepted, but as long as she also made a gift for his boyfriend.

Warmed by the gesture, Jean went and put it on his right arm, maybe with some help from the blondie. And for the cherry on top, Quincy himself shows off his matching one!

So, from now on, those adorable crafts serve as reminders of each other when they are apart.

----

Jean barely takes off his bracelet. Perhaps maybe before a match or hard training of course, since he's rather afraid of it falling off and/or breaking. But during his everyday life, he just brings it wherever he goes, no matter how casual it it. Perhaps to the point even his friends notice it too. Reef for example points it out at every occassion, enjoying to call it a "huge colorful wedding ring". While at first Jean would shun him off by the dumb joke. with time he came to like the comparison. It served as a good reminder of something he wanted to do later on.

Quincy meanwhile likes to show off his bracelet too, tho he does take it off during his Judo classes, rough excersive routines, or in any of his possible Outback trips. At some point in between his geology classes, the bracelet almost dissappeared from its sight and it made him go almost in full panic mode. The campus became a hell of a mess that day. Fortunately the object was found in decent shape, turns out it just fell due to a loosely tied knot. He needs to be more careful with that...

So tell me about The Boomtown Boys? What crime have they committed? Where the idea came from?When I saw them I literally felt loved them already and take your time<)

The Boomtown Boys have all committed destruction of property in their own "unique ways" to say the very least, and surprisingly enough, they've all committed their very acts on the same day unintentionally, and the three were all sent to the same jail into the same jail cell where they all just so happen to meet for the first time.

Bobby Bomb was a short-tempered demolition worker, who take part in blowing up old buildings in a city for construction workers to build new ones in. One day, he was ordered to blow up another old building during one of his times away from work, and so he carelessly planted bombs inside one of the empty buildings without double checking with the others. 'Cause of his stubbornness to listen to what the other workers have to say, he blew up and wrecked the wrong empty building, that was the newly constructed one the others tried to tell him about, which in turn fell down and destroyed parts of the city. 💣

Dylan Dynamite was a cautious gold miner, who works in a mine shaft with a bunch of other mine workers digging out any gold they could find. He plans out where to set explosives in carefully in the mines to create new areas to mine gold in, in which some of the mine workers are a bit reckless when it comes to solely looking for good. Then one day, one of the workers tried smoking a cigar by lighting a match while on the job, which Dylan quickly took noticed and took the lit match to toss away. But the wind blew the match around and into a mine cart full of explosives and ignited all the fuses, Dylan panicked from the sudden turn of events as he pushed the cart away from them out of quick thinking, only for it to then roll down into the mine shaft, which let out a giant explosion and cause the entire gold mine to collapse and filled up of broken rocks. 🧨

And Carl Cannon was a big strong member of a pirate crew, who he used to set sail on the big blue sea for their own adventures, which he enjoys sailing across and especially seeings the whales they happen to come across. During one of their travels with a whole loot of treasures, he lay eyes on a nice lady who was part of a royal ship while passing by, as he formed a big soft little crush on the woman and secretly lended some of his crew's loot to hers in secret whenever their ships stops by an island together. One day, as Carl was admiring the lady on the royal ship while passing by on his crew's ship, he then took a smell of the big sea breeze as caused his "nose" to itch and let out a big sneeze. In which the big sneeze caused a cannonball to be fired out of him and aimed directly at the royal ship, causing it to go down under and all of its passengers including the lady he likes. 🏴‍☠️

I mostly been brainstorming some bosses and their themes that would fit into their level on another Inkwell Isle they're location on, but after watching the "Jailbroken" episode from The Cuphead Show" and listening to the catchy song "Lucky Ducks" from The Bob's Burgers Movie, the idea of a boss level taking place in a jailhouse where you fight a small group of prisoners came to mind. The name "Boomtown" was heavily inspired by an actual place called "Boom Town" from Minecraft Story Mode, that consist of inhabitants who are known for their explosives, in which the idea of the small group of prisoners being actual bombs came to be. And thus The Boomtown Boys were made!

Also thanks for loving their first appearance, btw, Angie! I wanted to draw how each of their crime looked, but I might do so some other time. I got their reference sheet in the works, which I hope to get done soon enough. ^^

[croissantlover24]

"What do you want to show me?" you asked, craning your neck to glance over your employer's shoulder at what he was working on. Moon shoved blueprints in your face. "What do you think?" After flinching from the sudden movement, you held the blueprints out in front of you. You felt dizzy at the sight; it was all far over your head. Something about the mind?

Uh oh!

"What do you mean, sir?" You turned to face him. "How do they look?" he asked you. The baffled expression on your face must've told him all he needed to know because he scoffed, shook his head, and ripped the documents away from you. "Never mind," he muttered, returning to his written ramblings.

Moon....

"Okay?" You gave him an odd look. Realizing that getting a clear answer from him was a fruitless endeavor, you instead decided to rummage through a closet for cleaning supplies. Perhaps you could salvage what of Moon's laboratory nature had reclaimed. You pulled out a pair of shears to use to cut the vines climbing the building's exterior from the top shelf. They had a brown stain on them, but you could probably wash it off. You could not wash it off.

How fun! I looooove brown stains that are hard to wash off!

After shoving it under hot water for at least five minutes now, the stain remained, and you were beginning to feel frustrated.

To clean blood, hot water actually effectively "cooks" the blood to whatever it is on, thus making the stain harder to remove, cold water is better for cleaning blood, I hear!

Taking a deep breath to calm yourself, you pivoted around to face Moon. "Sir?" you called. He turned to face you. "Yes?" His faceplate tilted upside-down. You swallowed in an attempt to hide your discomfort at the uncanny motion.

LOL

You handed him the shears. "This stain won't come off. What is it?" "Chocolate," he replied instantly, though you could sense an uncharacteristic stiffness in his voice.

How fun! I love chocolate!

Your brows furrowed. "Why were you cutting chocolate with shears?" He tensed for a moment before stuttering—wait, stuttering? That's entirely unlike him—out, "I didn't have a knife." Your eyes narrowed as you shoved your hand into the collection of drying silverware and pulled out a knife. "Really?" you deadpanned.

LMAO??

Moon froze. "I didn't see that one," he mumbled out before directing his attention back to his desk. "Hey, wait," you said, exasperated. Noticing that he was ignoring you, however, you just sighed and took the shears back. At least the stain wasn't fresh.

Yeah it was from like decades ago I hear

His faceplate was still upside-down as you walked out of the laboratory and pulled at the foliage outside. After about an hour of fighting what felt like Mother Nature's wrath itself, you finally made something slightly more presentable out of the cubic building. The white finally looked like the feathers of a dove rather than the dull grey it had been before.

HDFGJHDFHGJ Mother Nature says: fuck this robot and fuck his lab

You were quite proud of your work. You heard the door open as you crawled down the ladder you had used to reach the higher places (which you had found in the back of the exterior for some reason). It seemed you weren't the only one who thought you had done a satisfactory job.

YIPPEE!

"Looks nice," Moon mused woodenly. Of course, it wasn't like you were expecting any emotion out of him, anyway. "Thanks," you—your hand slipped off of the handle of the ladder.

UH OH!

You felt yourself plummet backwards. The wind hissed in your ears like a steaming teapot as you flew by. Just before your head hit the ground, you felt clawed hands catch you. Moon looked down at you as if you were a dull rock amidst a sea of vibrant minerals. He held you up in front of him with the manner of a parent chiding a toddler who had just gotten into the red paint bucket.

PFEHEHEEH

"Watch where you're going," he scolded. "Clumsy." "Sorry." Your eyes darted away to avoid eye contact. You could feel your skin turn red with embarrassment. He put you back down on the ground and wiped dirt off of your clothes. He grabbed your arm and dragged you back inside. "That's enough, janitor," he teased, though his voice came as a snarl that made you tense. "Could I have my assistant back, now, please?"

Oh dear....

"I'm sorry," you said again. He frowned at your fearful tone but said nothing. "You don't have to be afraid of me," he stated dryly. His tone was insistent, like he had been begging you not to be for weeks now. He hadn't. "I'm not," you lied. Your voice trembled.

Uh oh

Your upper arms were restrained by sharp claws from behind you. His cold, metallic fingers dug into your skin. His digits dug into your bones like cheese on a cheese grater. His voice was low in your ear, a silent threat. "What did I say about liars?" he hissed quietly. Your hands trembled in his grip. "I'm sorry."

Oh Reader... dear, you're okay, it's not your fault, okay?

Moon paused. His grasp on you lightened… but was still there. You could still feel it. It wouldn't be difficult for him to kill you. No one would miss you. He'd only have to slit your neck. Just once. Just a slight cut. Just a trivial little slash that would so easily wipe you of your life. He could simply—

Three weeks left

"I'm not a killer," Moon growled, pulling you out of the hurricane of thoughts you had almost thrust yourself into.

"I'm not a killer" - guy who got banned from society for killing

"I never said you were, sir," you remarked, your breaths coming sharply. "You heard people say I was," he deadpanned. "Again, it's not true. I'm not a killer. I would not hurt you."

Uh huh

You took a deep breath. Relax. You were overreacting, of course. Everything was fine. And then you remembered the stain on the shears. Brown. Like dried blood.

DING DING DING!

"Sir," your voice trembled, "what was the stain really?" Moon went silent. "Don't worry about it," he whispered before dragging you by his desk for another week of labor.

Blood, don't be silly Reader

Three weeks left.

WUH OH!

His insanity remained a spectrum. One end, his tone low and cold, a calculation of the perfect way to unsettle you. His tone would seem to mimic the very essence of a cold and biting winter, of being lost in the forest with no light in sight. He would mock your hopelessness (accidentally, though you didn't know that). The other end was loud. Boisterous. Unpredictable. A sudden wild laugh that would last just a second too long. A grin barely too wide. A silence slightly too deafening. He would do a relatively normal action wrong in such a way that something as simple as smiling seemed rooted in hostility. You noticed he liked the latter more.

Hm... Jotting down notes

He only used the former when you did something you didn't like.

I think you meant "when you did something he didn't like" here? I dunno though--

When you got to close to something he didn't want you to know.

mmmmmmmmmmmmm

He also favored the second more because of your reaction to it. He found you didn't enjoy sudden movements. You would jump like a mouse caught in a prey trap. You would even yelp sometimes.

Due to all of the fear

… So he tried to catch you off guard as often as possible. It was a game to him: how quickly and often could he make you leap out of your skin? He found it funny. He thought you found it funny. You did not.

Is he stupid or something? /silly

"Assistant!" a voice yelled in your ear, bubbly and overly friendly. Your heart skipped a beat as you swiveled around. Moon cackled at your reaction like it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. You hid your annoyance.

Reader voice: UGHHH this guy again. Thank god I only have a few more weeks until I can quit

"What's got you all jumpy, little lamb?" he asked you, his grin wide and fangs sharp. "Nothing, sir," you ground out through gritted teeth. Nothing at all…

Its the blood, silly!

Remember: Three weeks left. Three weeks left. Three weeks left. Three weeks left.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Final thoughts: I am going to scoop reader out of this fucking place and give them the life they deserve (one full of peace and health and care)

Yessss

Aaaaaaa stupid grammar mistakes </3

Stopppp no spoilers in my asks!! Nobody needs to know the truth yet /lh

Also yes! I used hot water on purpose so it wouldn’t work :)

Oh dear oh dear. So many things. Here's just a lil snippet : > Artemis still wears suits (sorry fowlblue), but more... vintage ones. I want him to acknowledge that everyone sees him as that "creepy ghost of a Victorian child" and go "oh? alright then" and show up at work looking like a full-on scary baby dandy, most notably ditching the tie for a lavallière (pinned down with a golden Celtic fibula, maybe?) and the loafers for leather laced boots. The vibes? Immaculate. > More acknowledgment that the fairies folklore is Artemis long-standing special interest/hyperfixation since early childhood that even his father's disapproval (bUt mAgiC iSn'T ReAl gRoW uP) couldn't shut down. That child is deeply autistic and it seems like a not too obnoxious and cute way to show it. > MORE 👏 ANGELINE 👏 AND 👏 MENTAL 👏 ILLNESS 👏 > MORE 👏 JULIET 👏 ARTEMIS 👏 FRIENDSHIP 👏 SIBLING-LIKE 👏 RIVALRY 👏 BANTER 👏 TOUGH LOVE 👏 Now for the fairies: > Half-goblin Holly for the win !! Already developed a bit of her backstory in a prev post, but so much fun stuff to alter in the books with that concept. She lives in a goblins neighborhood were only the kids like her, all the adults think she's a traitor and a sell-out. At work she's not as much harassed for being a woman, but almost all the officers hiss-hiss-hiss when they walk past her. Book 2 changes massively, because Holly is absolutely torn by the B'wa Kell rebellion, she feels like she should choose sides but doesn't want to. Artemis can bond with her on being branded as a criminal just because of your birth certificate. I repeat : Artemis can bond with her on being branded as a criminal just because of your birth certificate. > Let the fairies be just as judgmental, racist as they are in the books, but let them be called out on it and damn, just explore it. They call themselves pacifists yet they are are run by an all-powerful police-state. It's actually an amazing idea but it's just... left there. Explore it ! Corruption and immorality isn't just a humans' problem ! > Justice for the goblins. Everyone believes they are the stupidest fairy family? Fine. Maybe they are - but does that mean they deserve to be treated like inferior beings, only worthy of mockery and disrespect ? Nope. Also, according to who's standards are they the stupidest fairy family ? There are so many forms of intelligence. Maybe theirs just don't correspond to the golden standards of the elves and centaurs but nobody bothered to try and understand that. > More fairy and supernatural folklore from various cultures incorporated ! Banshees, selkies, onryo, aswangs, changelings... So many possibilities ! And bonus round, if I were to adapt AF to the screen (in an animated series because I do believe this is the way) : > Make it a mockumentary true-crime show, from the fairies' POV. Featuring interviews from all the main cast, video and sound archives (from the LEP ? from the Fowl family ?), reconstitutions... hell, even actual memories extracted from the Fowl gang after TEC. Not very ethical I know, but again - a true-crime show. > Controversial take, but I would majorly revamp dwarves. No more dwarves, they just are not a fairy species. Mulch would stay more or less the same character in terms of personality, but I would change his species from dwarf to troll - a nordic troll, the ones that change to stone when hit by the sun and change back at night. Make them a mineral species, that are literally made of dirt, rock and moss - how does Mulch because a burglar then ? Well, he's made of dirt and sand. He can sip through walls. He can shapeshift, maybe. That idea is still very much a WIP, but even though I know it's iconic, I don't thing a farting dwarf can actually translate from books to cinema. I don't see how it can't be anything else but extremely cringe. Let's stop there for now, but yeah. I have a lot of more or less unhinged ideas :D

Y’know what? I’m curious, and I wanna talk again-

Fellow AF fans, tell me how you would make Artemis Fowl if you were behind the writing wheel. It can be anything from “Juliet features more heavily in the plot” to reframing the LEP and fairies as a whole. I want to know!

I’ll give you mine- I’d make Artemis more interested in magical creatures than tech alone, and I’d have him wear suits less!
