I HAVE BEEN HIT WITH A VISION FROM THE ELDER GODS!

You can see from miles away that Bi Han is touch starved as hellll, im talking STARVING.... so I honestly see that man just feeling turned on from simple kisses. Like, 1 min of kisses, BAM, ready to go! I feel like that intimacy may get him going, since thats a rare thing in his life

This isn't a request for a fic ( unless you want it to be 👀 ) but I am obsessed with Bi Han and I just realised this while drinking my coffee this morning

Just Some Kisses

Prior notes: I fuck with your vision! So I did something short cause how could I not work with that even though this was not originally a request.

Pairing: Bi-Han x Gn reader

Warnings ‼️: Suggestive hehe

You were feeling extra lovey today. Just the sight of your boyfriend made you all giggly and your heart warm up like a cast iron on a hot Arizona day in July. Okay, maybe not that hot but you get the picture. Fresh baked cookies kind of warm. Yeah, that’s better.

You were practically skipping over to Bi-Han’s office where you strolled in all innocently. He didn’t look up but he knew it was you walking in. Usually you would sit next to him or anywhere else in his office when you came to spend time with him. Nope. Today was different. Your seat would be Bi-Han himself.

You came closer to Bi-Han and started straddling his lap. You caught him by surprise. This was the first time you ever did this. He’s not complaining surprisingly.

He was about to question you until he felt your lips on his face. All over his face actually. You were leaving kisses wherever you could as you held his face in a loving manner. His cheeks, forehead, nose, chin, even neck. You didn’t see it but Bi-Han was starting to blush. Awww he likes it.

He didn’t know what to do with his hand. No one has ever done this to him or given him this much attention. His hands were gripping the arms of his chair while you were kissing his neck. You heard him make a low growling noise that you took as a sign of delight. You were right but he was also struggling to contain himself.

When you started making out with him that was the hardest part for Bi-Han. Feeling your soft lips against his was pleasurable torture especially once you slipped your tongue into his mouth. Your hands were feeling him up. One hand was sliding down his chest while the other went to his hair, letting his hair down from its once tight bun. Damn! This felt too fantastic for him. Your fingers running through his hair was the final nail in the coffin. You felt his hands grab onto you and squeezed you gently. He let out a groan before tearing his face away from you.

“What’s wrong? Did I do something?” You asked innocently.

Oh you sure did do something.

Bi-Han pushed you down on his lap more and you finally felt his hard on. How the heck did you miss his bulge?! You saw how embarrassed Bi-Han was. He was all hot and bothered, not very used to being kissed, touched, and loved this much. You didn’t even mean to get him started like this. The man was really struggling to hold himself back. He froze the arms of the chair trying to contain himself. But now that you know…ah fuck it!

With one arm he picked you up while the other arm swept his desk clean of anything. Every paper and writing utensil fell to the ground. He placed you on his desk, pressing himself against you. Now you’re the priority. The work can wait, he can’t. He’s all horned up and ready to go! Don’t make him wait any longer after you teased him like that.

You didn’t even mean it but okay, go off I guess.

Well, hope you have fun—oh my gosh

Oh damn is he gonna pay to fix your clothes?

Wow, i didn’t know you were that flexible!

I’ve never seen that position before WHEN DID HE LEARN THAT?!

You two are making a lot of noise…oh…he wants that…cool.

The desk is squeaking HAVE SOME MERCY!

Woah! Alright! That’s a lot that came out!

You uh…you need a tissue? Or some Bounty paper towels? A towel actually?

He definitely was touched starved, ohhh mighty.

After notes: You spat this vision out at me. I’m more of a tea vision kind of person but coffee visions work too.

[koiir]

IM DRUNK IN YOU…

— In which they’ve had too much to drink… how do they act?

Pairings - kazuha, diluc, Kaeya, xiao x reader

Genre - fluff, comfort with some angst

Cw: mentions of alcohol/drinking, cursing, getting inquired due to being intoxicated (more like just being a dumbass) a bit suggestive on Kaeya’s part, not proofread

Kazuha who is known to not handle drinks very lightly, which is why he tends the avoid them even at events. Yet he always finds himself taking a drink or two (mainly because of the crux) this then ends up in Kazuha becoming a mess. A mess that you usually will have to take care of. Yet this is the loving romantic that you fell head over heels for, so of course you would do anything such as watching over him and helping him in his (desperate) need of time.

It’s a good thing that you live in the city of liyue, otherwise it would have been a hassle trying to get Kazuha to cooperate with you. With events, came drinks. One thing you honestly dreaded, mainly because of your lover who couldn’t handle himself after just one. He would cling onto you the whole night, tell others of his love for you, him proposing his love to you over and over until you shut him up (with a kiss to be exact).

Your name would spill out of his lips, slurred due to the intoxication of the drinks he has consumed. Still, the loving tone still holds even when his mind is clouded. “[Name]…cmon my love, please let’s just stay…” you knew it was not a good idea to stay, who knows what the poet would do if you decided to stay.

Once in the comfort of your home, you dragged him the your room. Laying him down preparing him for sleep. “Kazu, here drink this. It’ll help, you know.” You handed Kazuha the tea, hoping it will make him more at ease and less lightheaded. A small *hic* came out before he spoke once more to you. “The things you do to me… my songbird…heh.” Thats a new one, you thought. It was a common occurrence for kazuha to come up with a new nickname name for you whenever he was drunk. Ah. It must have been because you had been forced into a little karaoke event… where you didn’t notice but Kazuha had been looking at you with loving eyes (as he always does).

“I love you… so much…my love,” Kazuha said, he looked at you with hooded eyes, his hand crawling to yours and holding it softly. You moved, kissing him in the lips before you stood up. “And I love you more, kazu. I have to go finish up some things, I’ll be back soon though.” You got up to leave, yet you never ended up leaving the room

Instead up ended up tangled in your lovers arms falling asleep due to him pulling you on top of him. Not wanting you to leave him.

The idea of drinking made Diluc get the ick. Quite ironic for someone who owns a bar, yet that didn’t mean anything to him. He always tried to avoid drinking no matter what, yet even he can’t always follow this rule he has set for himself.

It was a small event set in the Dawn Winery manor, meet ups and a gather up for those who had worked together in the past and Diluc had been offering drinks to those who came. But ever one makes mistakes right? What he thought was grape juice was actually wine similar to grape juice. He didn’t think straight and poured himself a glass before heading over to you. The effects of the drink hit him hard, making it easy to notice something wrong with the man.

It was in the way he was clinging onto you that surprised you, Diluc does this often, but only when it’s the two of you. Not around others. Yes he would wrap his hand around your waste but never he never displayed this much affection in front of others. He started to lean into you, tuck his head under your chin, and whisper sweet nothings into your ear. This was something a sober Diluc would never dare to do, especially right now with some of his acquaintances.

Some started to snicker about his behavior, never seeing this side of him before. “Luc, cmon,” you nudged your lover hoping to get him off you for just one second. “No, let’s just stay here…please.” It almost came off as a whisper, like he was unsure about it.

You then decided to drag your lover outside of the room and into his office. The atmosphere was more comfortable and cozy with just the two of you in there, intimate with the one you loved. “Come here,” diluc said. Pulling you to sit on his lap at his office chair. Usually it would be you placing yourself, not the other way around. But you weren’t complaining, especially not after all the affection you’ve gotten. He nuzzled his face into the crook of your neck while giving you a soft kiss. “I love you [name].” Even after hearing this multiple times in your relationship, you never could never stop blushing after hearing him tell you. “Well I loved you more luc.”

It was often that you saw Kaeya intoxicated in the bar that belonged to his brother, chatting about whatever and whenever until you had to pick him up. Almost as if you were a mother picking up your child from school, in this case the child was Kaeya with the way he was calling out your name while cursing.

“Fuck fuck fuck…. Is [name] here?” You watched the scene unfold right before your eyes. Your boyfriend held his head as some of his drinking buddies swarmed around him. You walked towards him, not without laughing though. “And just what happened to you?” Kaeya looked up at you, a small frown appearing on his face once he saw you laughing about what had happened. “Don’t laugh… cmon, give me a hug pretty.” Before he could do anything, you grabbed him by the hand and left the tavern with your lover.

Thud. “What was that?!” You looked behind you as Kaeya made a small “ah” sound. He hit his foot on the sign and now was grunting from the pain to his foot. “Shit, again…”

“Again?” “Yeah I hit my head in the bar…heh.” You groaned while your lover laughed. So that’s what happened at the bar. “This is what you get for drinking to much Kaeya.” “You can’t stay mad at me forever, you love me to much you know.” You looked away, not wanting him to see the smile appearing on your lips. “And if I don’t?” You didn’t miss the small put that came from his face, but the soon turned into a smirk. “Then I’ll prove my love to you right here and right- Wait! [name] come back! I was just kidding you know!”

~

“You didn’t have to leave me like that you know, what if I had hurt my pretty face again?” You rolled your eyes, Kaeya had just gotten home after you left him when he made that silly comment. “It would have been deserved.” You said, he gasped and went on to exaggerate about how you are so cruel to him. You two ended up cuddling in bed, giggling about the events that had happen due to all the drinking Kaeya had done.

You never thought this could happen to Xiao, if anything if would happen to you, not him. It was a small event being held at wanshung inn so it was only natural for you to drag xiao out into the balcony and get some food to dine with one another. Yet he made the mistake of drinking the wrong drink, which was an alcoholic drink. Xiao was never one for drinks, or any type of drink other than water. So when the substance hit tongue, he knew something was off.

But his curiosity got the best of him, so he ended up take small sips of the drink, over, and over, until you came back. “Xiao, I’m back” you said. You came from behind him and wrapped your arms around him. Usually he would get flustered and mutter something under his breath, but the only he did was lean into your embrace and sigh. “I missed you.” He turned around making eye contact with you, something that wasn’t usually for him. You looked at xiao, something off about him.

His gorgeous face with flushed, his eyes seemed to sparkle and were more hooded, he was gorgeous. You could never deny that, and you admired him in the moment. “You’re so pretty xiao, I don’t know how I got so lucky with you.”

That’s when he looked away, blush apparent on his face. “You don’t mean that, you’ll get tired of me eventually.” You know xiao was scared of this, your relationship and what it would become. It didn’t matter if you two had been together for years, he would often doubt himself because he knew he wasn’t the best with his emotions, even worse with others. Yet for he you he did his best, and you knew that.

“Don’t say that xiao, I know you better than anyone else. I know that we will work out no matter what, I would never leave you.” You placed a hand on his cheek so he could look at you. The two go you were silent for a while, admiring the other. Xiao the made the first move to nuzzle his face into your neck, holding you tight. “Still, I’m scared of what might become of me. Of something that I might do to ruin us.” This was something you knew xiao had trouble with, you know that the moment you two got together. “And I’ll be there for you xiao, I knew that when we first got together.” You hugged him tighter, but that’s when you noticed it. “But… have you been drinking xiao?” He looked up at you, making a face that made you giggle. “What? No, why do you think that.” He mumbled. “Because, you’re never this straightforward unless I force you. And you’re more open to my affection.”

He sighed, tired to argue which was unlike him. He stayed in your arms, wanting to you feel your warmth. He wished the two do you could stay like this for an eternity, holding one another knowing that you will stay by his side no matter what.

It’s been a while since I’ve made a post…

[gojofavho3]

Hi there i have a little Gojo req in mind; Gojo x male reader but reader is like,, taller than him, bigger yk? maybe a bit buffer, arms big enough to throw Gojo over his shoulder hehe. Maybe Gojo is infatuated by the idea of climbing on top of Reader and absolutely WRECKING himself on him 😍 alright okay that got out of hand i hope thats okay but ofc if not i understand and you can just ignore this req, but if you DO do the fic then i am FOREVER IN YOUR DEBT 🙏🏼

Heyyyyy, thanks for the request!!! Sorry to keep you waiting, I had a math test, so I had to put all my focus on that, and that shit was so easy mann

A/n: It probably won't be long, trying to discover other types of writing tbh, because my writing in English is not as good as my Portuguese yk? And dyslexic also doesn't help a lot

There aren't many people who are taller than gojo, At least that he knows personally

gojo is 1.90 centimeters tall, any taller than that you will have to bend down at doors

When you two started dating, he was the happiest man alive, there's is not much people close to him that live so long so, he tries his hardest to protect you and make u become more and more happy every day of your relationship

He just loves you too much

He lets you do anything with him, first time you put him in your shoulders he was surprised. he didn't know what to say or what to do, he was blushing so bad that even a rose couldn't be that red, he was caught off guard not using infinity. Eventually, he got used to and sometimes he doesn't use infinity so you can grab him and put him in your shoulders

He also loves the warmth of your body, especially when it comes to cuddling, he won't leave you alone, not even for one second. You being bigger then him and probably with a bigger chest, he will put his cheek on your chest and rub his cheek against your chest, very close to your nipples, all his problems in the world almost fade away in that state

And thats one of the reasons you have the so called the "strongest" on your dick rn!

" Satoru gojo desperate for a dick so bad. who would imagine?

The so "strongest!"... strongest hoe that's for sure "

The white hair has his cheeks red, red and red, he was on top of you, some of his sweat going to your stomach and pre cum too

In this angle the white moon made him look glorious, the shadow makes his blue eyes glowing like the stars.

It was a dark night, and a cold one too! With autumn the winds start to get stronger and stronger

And what's more warm to made two body's sweat than sex?

"c-can't you he-help me a little ah-awh!"

" nopee! You tied my hands, your the one who wanted so bad to do it alone "

Your hand points to your hands, tied up to the bed by Satoru with one of his blindfolds

He pouts, but continues to go up and down on your fat cook

Every time he goes down he lets out a moan and whimpers, closing his eyes shut tight with his head looking up

Up Up Up Up Up

Down Down Down down down

He goes down and sucks your nipples until it becomes red and purple, he loves hearing you whimpering and creaming, he could feel you getting more close in the seconds

Sometimes he letted it leave his hole put he slip it back again, with the most care in the world

He stopped sucking it and goes to your face, giving you a honest smile, with his eyes close, and then giving you silly kisses that he knew you loved

Satoru could feel your cheeks being heated as he played with them, like a granny, making you made silly faces too.

"why are you making my face look silly in the middle of fucking?"

"b-because..."

"because..?"

"because I cann! W-Why~~? Wanted me to slap them?? Agwh!.."

"no sir!"

You says Ironically as he stops after a while and continues to bounce on your dick

His ass cheeks slapping with your lower part, making the clap sound over and over

You could feel he was cumming, you could feel how tight his hole was becoming and the sounds he was madding becoming more loud

" c-ca-can I I cum.. mhm! "

" n-no need to ask, jus come, I'm also close..."

You say already feeling your cum starting to leave your cook

Up Up Up Up Up Up upupuupupupup-

Downdowndowndowndowndowndown-

Splash!

White

Everywhere

You two were heavily breathing, with white splashed on your stomach and the covers

He falls in your chest, cum dripping down on his hole going to your cook and traveling to the covers

His hair is all messed up like yours

He kisses you, a kiss really heated out, until you two become with almost no air, painted out

" d-did... did you g-get warm...? "

Satoru nods as he can't talk yet

" good.. "

You say finally taking your hands of his blindfold, going immediately to his ass, slapping with all your strength, making his ass red as fuckkk, letting it jiggle, yes, he has some cake there

He whines and lets out a loud moan that even your neighbours could hear

He had a confused and hot look on his face as he puts his hand in his hair wires, messing it more

"w-why..??"

" to get you ready for round 2

It's good that you warm but! This shit ain't over love!! "

Hope u like it! And now your in debt with me 😈

Kidding

This was funny to write

I don't understand people who say the moon is yellow, like the only colour I see is white there

And for knowledge, I'm not colour blind, I think

And now, I'll farm for sampo, my big titties man 😋💖

See you, till next time!

Zhongli with a child reader

-Reader: They/them + no gender implied -They/them used for Traveler -He/him for Zhongli -They/he for Xiao

Requested: No/Yes

Warnings: None Disclamer: Characters personality, looks, ect may be different from canon due to either hc or author has just forgotten.

A/N: So i forgot where Zhongli lives so i just said "home", anyway i hope you like it, i made it at like 12am in the morning so ya.

^ Made by me

-♥ Zhongli was walking around the streets when he felt something tug at his pants, when he looked down he saw a small child around the age of 3-4 looking up at him with sparkles in their eyes, Zhongli smiled softly and knelt down to the childs height "hello little dragon, aren't you meant to be with Xiao?" He asked picking you up and hoisting you onto his hip. You reached up and tugged his hair while muttering "da" as he walked to Iron Tongue Tian stall. -♥ When you both got there he sat down on the chair and placed you in his lap than lended his hand to you so you could fiddle with it. As time went on and he sipped his tea while you where taking small bites of food and tracing Zhonglis hand when he remembered why your here in the first place, "didn't you run from Xiao little dragon?" he calmly said placing the cup down and looking at you, you paused your tracing and grinned up at him while he softly chuckled and went back to listening to the story.

"Zhongli!" Zhongli looked behind him after hearing his name be called by a certain Traveler with a floating child "Ah Traveler, come take a seat" he gestured to the seat next to him. When the two sat down (Paimon floating next to the Traveler) thats when they saw you sitting on Zhonglis lap and tracing his hand not looking at the two of them at all "Zhongli, whos the kid?" Traveler asked, Zhongli looked down at you than back at them "ah, this is [Name], my child" he smiled and patted you on the head with his unoccupied hand as you softly squealed with happiness "CHILD?!" After explaining that he adopted you after finding you on the streets the atmosphere changed slightly cold "ah, it seems they found you huh?" Zhongli spoke as Xiao apearded next to him and the Traveler, you looked up and gasped when you saw your big brother and made grabby hands while squealing "up up up!", Xiao silently sighed in relief and took you from Zhongli as you hugged him tightly "don't ever do that again okay? you worried me" they said the last part very quietly so you where you only one who heard it. It was starting to get late so the Traveler and Paimon bid farewell and started walking back to where they where going to stay, Zhongli looked down with soft eyes upon seeing Xiao and you playing together "well its been a long day so how about we get back home" Xiao looked up at him and nodded as you yawned and rested your head sideways on Xiaos shoulder as they both started walking back home.

heii!! ^^, can you make another hoodie x reader one-shot? i've come to love ALL of your scenarios ,, left me wanting more :D

if you don't want to do this... well! thats fine, i'd understand! ^^

maybe... hoodie's hurt? and reader cares for him?

hurt, as in, wounded! like, knife stab or something!

thank you,

take care

One injured Hoodie coming through! This was interesting to write. Hope you enjoy! Sorry it's short. Take care! ♡

your blood in my hands (and I wouldn't have it any other way) | Brian Thomas/Hoodie

tw: reader's gender isn't specified. Obvious blood mentions, nothing too gory.

Beneath your hands, Brian lays as still as a rock. He doesn't flinch from your touch, not after the last three reprimands you muttered under your breath. It was odd enough that he let you tend to his wound, even more that he actually listened to you! Then again, there was a bullet wound on his body. Thankfully, it hadn't punctured any organs. Still, you were surprised someone had managed to survive long enough to shoot him.

Ah, well, Brian wasn't a young man anymore. He was closer to his mid forties than his mid twenties.

And with the number of Americans now possessing guns as if it were candy? Tsk. That was bad for business. Brian's business, that is.

"That's enough." Brian uttered, pulling himself up to his feet - and almost sliding back down onto the blood-stained chair with a frustrated hiss. "Fuck.."

"You lost too much blood." You sat back, rummaging through the old medpack. Living with a stalker-killer "employed" by an eldritch being, far away from any civilization, had forced you to take on skills such as cleaning wounds (of any kind), sewing and cooking with the bare least you had.

You sighed. "I thought... Why did you take on such a mission alone? Why not take a lesser one with you?"

"It is what He asked of me."

The words fell off painted in tones of melancholy and numbness. There was no trace of emotion behind them, like a corpse. If it wasn't for his beating heart or the living blood that stained your hands, you would've thought Brian was as much of a dead man as those that fell to his hands.

Resigned, you closed the medpack. "Then you should tell him that you are not allowed to go on any missions that aren't scavenging for information."

For the first time that morning, a hint of emotion reflected on his eyes. Raising an eyebrow, a wheeze of laughter escaped his lips. "Allowed?"

"Yes," You mimicked his expression. "You care for me, I care for you. That was our deal."

"Our deal," Brian leaned forward, supporting his elbows on his knees. He bared his teeth at you in a low hiss, "did not include you bossing me around."

Still mimicking him, you too leaned closer until the tips of your noses were grazing each other. "Consider our deal emended."

For the briefest of moments, you thought Brian would lash out, pull you away as he always did. When his eyes narrowed, you prepared yourself for the worst. Your gazes met, and you hoped to see the man behind the walls Brian built around himself. You had his blood in your hands, but you didn't have his heart. No, his heart already belonged to something far above you.

Far darker.

The flicker of his gaze to your lips did not go unnoticed. You were close enough to smell the iron-blood in his skin and feel his breath mixing with yours. You believed Brian would kiss you right then and there.

Instead, he stood to his feet with unprompted strength. With a low rumble, he said, "Your skill with the needle has improved."

You assumed that was his way of thanking you and acknowledging your efforts. One, for removing the bullet. Two, for cleaning the wound. Three, for stitching it. You huffed lightly; Brian should be thankful you didn't take advantage of his altered state, stumbling bloody upon the kitchen at early sunrise and take him out of his misery right then and there.

Then again, you doubted you could take a man of his size and strength even when injured. A deep but low voice whispered in the back of your mind that that was not the only reason; you were in this with Brian. There was no turning back. Surely, no one sane enough would happily remain in your position.

Maybe you two weren't so different after all.

[hashtagdrivebywrites]

Y'all bear with me on my bad phone pictures and excessive notes lmao, but, uh, ask and you shall receive.

Here's my concept art for Jason in my fic Imprint, where he's a halfa and Danny's biological dad and the king father/king regent? of the infinite realms.

Here's the first ever sketch I did somewhere around chapter 2 or 3:

Featuring larval Ghost!Jason, Pit madness/Lazarus Water and little bitty Ghost!Danny.

I was already thinking about the possibility of a crown but didn't know what to do with it yet so I just left a halo as a placeholder DBZ-style, which you'll see in the next few concept stages until I finish the latest one.

Ah, the oldest concept I had for the Pit is that it laid dormant in Jason's mind and would physically pull itself out of his head, which is why it's kind of half melded with Jason's helmet in this one. And I'm still kind of considering that idea, but I'm leaning more towards it coming from the bulk of Jason's body instead, as we see it in chapter 8 of Imprint when readers get to see Jason's ghost nonsense from an outside perspective. They (the Pit) is definitely more tiger-like now, and you'll catch a glimpse of a sketch dump where I'm trying to get a handle on tiger shape language (?). They'll still be water based and colored like the pits/a lagoon. It may be hard to picture- just trust me.

Uhhh let's see....the "lantern ribcage" is a part of the design that's really important to me so you'll see me consistently playing with it as I go through these early concepts. That's his core nestled in the lower part of his ribs, visible but protected behind the iron cage of his bones.

I wanted to incorporate Jason's helmet and other parts of his vigilante/hero uniforms in his ghost form since that part of his life is deeply personal to him.

I also knew that I wanted him to have a very monstrous aspect to his design- and I can't resist slapping pointy teeth on any of my concepts that deviate from being strictly human. So those aren't going away. Nostrils to breathe smoke and fire so Jason can better emote with most of his face being metal.

Danny's default ghost form, opposed to Jason's will still kinda be the one he has in his original dimension- black and white suit and the classic DP symbol on the chest, but probably better armored and with a bat emblem thrown in somewhere. So thats what I drew him with here- though little kid sized, with an added black streak in his hair to complete the inverse of the Lazarus Pit streak he has in human form.

In ghost form, when Jason needs precision, his go-to weapon will be the All Blades, which I have kinda illustrated here.

I may kinda set the bones of this design aside to use as a more humanoid ghost form that's closer to his living form, but that's still up in the air.

Here's concept 2, which I did on chapter...5? I think? Which is when I decided I wanted to make Jason's most comfortable ghost form to be kinda big and outrageous:

This one's got some notes doodled around it- but I'll type them out in case you can't read my handwriting.

Jason was definitely leaning more toward dragon (and I'm still trying to find the balance between dragon and phoenix that works nicely for him, but we're getting there.)

I decided not to put heat pits on his face recently so that the parts of his head modeled after the helmet are smooth metal armor. I tried to elongate the head but still keep the lines of his helmet in the design.

This is also the first time I started messing with horns- which have been bent in just about every direction at this point trying to make them mesh well with the rest of his design. The uppermost notes in the image mention basing the shape of his horns off of one of his weapons. I thought that the flaming all blades would just be overkill at that point and decided to play with using the Kris knife he gets from the League. Which is....still overkill but it's less fire to draw, so we'll call it a even. There is also a note on my decision to make his horns into a pair only because of being Bruce's second son and the second Robin. (I have put way too much fucking thought into this if you haven't figured that out already).

Tried a different look for the teeth and ended up scrapping it.

I also started leaning more into making his back look as messed up as possible at this point and started thinking of the....mountain range in plated rows like a croc's back.

And here's concept 3, which also starts playing with colors and the all-tail, no-legs look that I decided to stick with:

This is definitely the biggest jump between concepts so far and was sketched up while writing chapter 7, which I think is the first time we get to experience his ghost forms (there's 2 that we saw in that chapter).

So I continued to smooth and lengthen the head and tried a different thing with the teeth- which I kept. I also felt a lot better about the lines from the helmet with this concept. I tried curling his kris knife horns forward, trying to play with their form. Those have changed since.

This is the first time I added hair, but it's hard to see. He, like Danny, has an inversed streak of black at the front of his 'do to reflect the Lazarus stripe.

Again with the halo placeholder because I was still on the fence about the crown. Started trying to make the mountains of his spine more volcanic looking. Don't know if I'm keeping that or not yet.

So the three major differences between this and it's predecessors is the 1) mantle of smoke that is constantly being expelled from his body that is supposed to imitate a kinds cloak/mantle; 2) the tail, which has since been changed into a fiery tail instead of a ghostly one; and 3) I slapped his Robin 'R' from the movie UTRH on him to make this form more...him, I guess, and also to make Bruce cry like a baby.

So the things that I have changed is the ribcage, the shape of the horns, the crown (which finally has a rough design and a name based on the fight he has to win to earn it- yes, I already have that arc scribbled out and will most likely be adding it into the story) and I added some extra stuff to the face to match the written descriptions in Imprint.

SO. -Claps hands together- I'd love to hear your thoughts on everything, and I am always interested in hearing how y'all have interpreted these characters for yourselves.

If this is something you want me to do again with other character designs, let me know and I will. I am working on Jason, of course, and the Pit, Frankie boy, Danny's big long boi form, Gotham and some other odds and ends.

more selkie stuff. thought abt it some more, i think prowl taking your coat works best with a certain foundation. like if he knew you as a 'human' first, getting attached and then found out about the coat. if he did take it he would try to convince himself hes in the right, that keeping you by his side is how he can look after you best. the fact that he'd be lonely without you has nothing to do with it of course.

maybe the selkie doesn't even want to leave him but the fact they have the ability to concerns him, bc yknow. trust issues ahoy

it feels less believable for him to take the coat if he knew them in seal form first. in my mind he would see that as the 'default' state, so to keep them as a human he would have to be really emotionally invested + paranoid/overprotective.

i prefer meeting as a selkie (and fluff over angst)so i'm gonna shelve the coat taking idea in my mind for now

on that note, i thought of something i like more for human prowl and selkie: wearing his clothes! its one of my fav tropes and we miss out on that when he's a bot lol. and the added layer of a selkie, who could view sharing clothes as trusting even if they know it likely doesn't mean the same to a human. first offers you something of his to wear bc you can just walk around naked. then he tries to get you your own clothes but u only want his. making a nest out of his clothes and him grumbling bc he just ironed those shirts dammit.

wait i just realized i switched from him stealing your clothes to you stealing prowls lmao. - gourmet anon

ah yes, I actually did more research on selkie (WHY IS THERE ONLY ONE SITE THATS RELIABLE???) and uh the entire folklore was,,, kind of grim? 😭 The underlying message especially,,,,was king of grim and I would have to agree choosing fluff over angst 😌 the coat thing was kind of angsty and I would imagine prowl doing a hefty amount of research for his conclusions to come to that (hiding the cloak deliberately so selkie comes after him)

I've had enough of giving prowl angst lmao (maybe that coat thing could have other uses...)

But gosh!!

Prowl meeting a seal, unaware of it's true form. It's big eyes and doleful look adorable to the many — but to him, it's an obstacle because currently the seal is trying to drag him into the water, flapping it's tail to splash the at him and he's all but clawing himself to the shore.

Oh but the stealing clothes idea was so adorable!!! Him buying a full set of clothes only for you to strip out of it later because it didn't have his scent and he finds you smooshed in his closet. Prowl is at his wits end.....

I should also start writing and stop procrastinating 😔✊ you are giving me such good ideas. Giving myself a deadline till the end of may for this mermay fic 😮‍💨

[life-winners-liveblog]

But anyways- live reactions woo!

(May 9/10/11); The fact that LL!Scott thinks burning alive/falling in lava would be the worst way to die due to continuing to feel the pain. And yet thats how LimL!Martyn killed his Scott

Oh I see, whispers have already hinted at it... Meanwhile Martyn is being asked about food lmao. Also poor Martyn still getting things thrown at him

Oooo Grian's statement about infection is interesting... does that mean someone who died with Wither poisoning still constantly feels the effects? It would be interesting to see. My personal concept of the Wither effect is that long or extreme exposure leaves your skin a very sickly pale, allowing you to slightly see your veins through it, veins of which have been tinged black by the effect. Further prolonged exposure would result in things like the your fingers and hands being stained black, as if all the previous warmth and redness of your skin has been overtaken by the cold painful chill of the withering.

I believe I understand what Scar was truly meaning with his answer. And as someone with a chronic illness... I definitely get it. Slowly watching as your body loses function, even though my body is still technically fine at this point, I will likely need a wheelchair in the next 20 years which is.. hard to accept. Especially as someone who love traveling and hiking. To know I have a time limit. A ticking clock you could say. Its... difficult. It affects you, mentally, to know you only have so long. And unlike the games, there is no way to postpone it. There is no fight to survive. Just... living while you have the chance. Doing what you can with the time you have.

Ah yes, we can always trust Cleo to think of dismemberment. (midway through writing this, specifically Cleo's. my other page refreshed and sent me back to the top... thank you Cleo for driving me insane even in the real world /j)

Also the whole- 24 facets of yourself thing with Pearl- Aeor I could not deal with that. Thank god I'm not the one with the tie. Though I am curious as to how it would affect DL!Scott, and what his different facets would look like.

Aaand there's Martyn with Withering. So perhaps thine Author's thoughts on the matter are similar to my own.

Ooo Pearl with the frostbite. A very understandable answer, though interesting that it is practically the exact opposite of Scott's. Eternally freezing, so cold that it burns. Crystalizing your skin, slowly sapping your energy, till you can do nothing but succumb yourself to your fate. Compared to burning. Truly burning away, a fate DL!Etho and Joel are actually very familiar with. Along with LimL!Scott. Burning to a crisp, or burning away in magma. Either one having to slowly feel the heat burning away your flesh, and melding your clothes and armor into your skin. While it would be a slow process moving around the void constantly frozen, the pain of trying to move with charred limbs embedded with iron... Both fates truly torturous.

OH I FORGOT ABOUT DYING TO THE VOID! Good call LL!Martyn. I forget just how the void technically kills you but I believe it would have to do with the lack of heat sources and air. So yeah freezing and suffocating eternally wouldn't be fun. I guess we could always ask SL!Lizzie what it's like, if she'd be willing to talk about it.

-Xas

Ohhhh smart! I like the analysis done like this.

[musubiki]

Was there ever a moment for Oscar and Ikasumi? Or is that an on and off again idea that is still in the works? Or just a "Lol dommy goth mommy please step on me" one sided phase?

thats still in the works!!!!!!!! a recent development with oscar is he has a slight playboy streak that he developed just as a consequence of picking up girls that lime rejects!! its one of those "Ah lime turned me down!!! but this guy (oscar) is kinda cute too...he seems like the wholesome type..." and then for reasons unspecified, it doesnt work out. no one ever SEES it end, its just "Oh so hows [girl oscar is dating]?" "Oh we broke up! Yeah she didn't like all the ghost videos i watch haha" or some random ass reason?????? in any case, oscar has a slightly bad habit of going "Oh youre not doing anything huh? Why not go out with me?"

eventually this reaches ikasumi, who was not in the batch of women who lime rejected BUT oscar took an interest in her because, yes, goth mommy hot (LMFAO). ikasumi by nature is very "Leave me alone, golden retriver boy." BUT shes also a broke artist, so it becomes "C'mon, food my treat?" "What time and where" so they do date for a time!!!

i also dont have it ironed out how it ends between them but certainly by the time the post-timeskip begins and theyre all living in the capitol, ikasumi considers him her "Annoying ex-boyfriend," who pops into magg-lynns antiques regularly and flirts with her+tries to get her to go out with him again at every chance

(at one point this pops up in a conversation with lime. says something like "Oscar, maybe you should just leave her alone already. You can get other girls." out of concern, and oscar just smiles and goes "I guess. She's the only one I really liked, though." and everyone just STARES at him in SHOCK)

Continuing my rewatch of Dragons: Riders of Berk, with episode 2, "Viking for Hire"

I don't remember anything about this one either, but I think that's gonna be a running theme. I'm also very bad with episode titles as a rule, so they're no help even if I do remember things that happen in the episode.

Anyway.

- 'Everybody needs a place to call home. Some people are born into there's. Others find theirs. And some people make a place for their own. But then the world changes around them, and the place they made is gone.' ouch

- 'Which dragon makes the best welding torch?' 'Oh, deadly nadder!' 'Its magnesium flame burns with the heat of the sun!' nerds

- 'Looks likes it's about three.' 'Told you were could count that high.' bless them

- 'Also good for getting rid of unwanted tables' oh gobber... Buddy...

- 'Its okay bertha... We'll find a place for you...' 🥺

- I actually do remember this episode now! It's a miracle

- 'There are two of you!' 'Is that another crack about my weight?' how many times has that happened??

- 'You know, that's actually not such a bad idea.' ah, chief, I fear that it actually is

- 'Remember, some of these situations are delicate. They require diplomacy.' Gobber is many things. A diplomat is not one of them

- 'I know the conventional thinking when it comes to repairing a ship is wood. But if you ask me, there's nothing like a good old slab of iron'

- 'We have to help him.' 'We don't have to do anything' Stoick, that's your best friend!

- 'Thats because you have a saddle!' 'Saddles!!'

- 'These saddles are different. They're like my children. That is, if you strapped your child to a flaming reptile and rode it.'

- 'Is that was I think-' 'Yep, flamethrower!' gobber... That's the thing they already have...

- 'Thats it, someones trading with me!' any future version of snotlout would be horrified

- 'Changes! Way ahead of you, I've so many ideas!' hiccup's resigned expression egjyenyemey

- 'Well, you know gobber. He means well, but he doesn't always do well.'

- 'Why do I have to say something to him? You didn't, you just passed him off to me!' exactly!

- '...What about him?' 'Leave him, he's going for a record' yeah that sounds like snotlout

- 'Im not sure things are working out.' 'Well, get back to me when you're sure' you did walk into that one hiccup

- 'Im really sorry gobber.' well I'm crying again

- 'I don't know what happened, I was just rubbing his head! He usually loves that! Then he just went crazy!'

- 'They do say a pet starts to take on characteristics of it's owner!' damn fishlegs, aren't there enough burns going around?

- 'You don't use that stuff to butter toast.' 'Well I mean, we would. But you guys dont' the twins are great

- 'Hes a good dragon!! 😥'

- 'We can't just get rid of him cause he's having a bad day!' you tell em hiccup

- 'Uh, I don't know where that came from!' we all know youre a big softie snotlout, give it up

- 'When the world around you changes, the good men find a way to change with it. And gobber is one of the best' 🥹

- so I guess they still don't have saddles huh

Anyway that was a really sweet episode. Onwards!

[sapphictigress]

Episode 7 The best one of season 1 :333

Also i noticed last episode that Petra is the only one with Black eyes, Ivor has a dark deep purple and Lucas has a cyan blue and Jesse's eyes depend on who you choose

Jesse: Come on! Girl friend time!! Jesse said it so cute and happy like awww :3333

Yall went through like…. 10 worlds to only JUST NOW LEARN THE PATTERN????????????????????

Whats the difference to us going through randomly Lukas???

I was quiet because i felt like all my options would make you mad petwa i sowwyyyy

In my opinion, this episode tries REALLY hard for you to be mad at Petra so that you eventually choose Lukas when saving either of them from being chipped so you have the final fight with Petra and it helps to resolve the early tension in the episode. I also just feel like Final boss Petra makes very much sense story wise and NOT because i love the trope of Fighting the one you love whilst they are Fighting a Mind control chip (This Started it, SPOP enforced it) Its just so *JUICY* for story telling!!

LIKE LITERALLY IT GIVES YOU THE OPTION TO NOT HELP HER THIS EPISODE WANTS YOU TO BE SOOOOO MAD AT HER

lmaooo i got bopped by the zombie, not good at telling distance and Petra just looked at me pathetically IM SOWWY

STOP TRYING TO MAKE ME BE MEAN TO HER GAME

Im actually super curious as to what it'd be like to just be extremely rude to Petra... I could never

DONT BE FUCKING RUDE

My guess is this was an option to say sorry??

Dont be mean to me Ivor

Had to pause to go to the bank but it literally put me back EXACTLY where i was im so happy

I am weak

I think she quotes back what you say to her in the beginning but i was nice to her so now she just has a shit line LMAO

"Paradox Status: On Hold" So does that mean when PAMA's not busy it just thinks really hard about the paradox you tell it?

*Gives Petra a little kiss before the ender pearl lands*

Not me doing all this talk when im about to *Not* choose petra for the first time in my life

Spider queen Petra crawling awayyy

Girl thats a poppy /j

Story wise it also makes sense that Lukas is the one you save because he's a smart boy!

... so i can have a climactic battle against her and build our bond ever stronger.... and you're smart

Also i can bounce around in the headset right? cant i just yoink Petra and run her all the way here for some water???

Also just realizing, HARPER WHY DONT YOU ALWAYS HAVE LIKE,,,, 10 SPARE WATER BUCKETS ON YOU??? My friend @cloudystrwbrry can vouch i will hoard Water Buckets and Crafting tables, YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN YOU'LL NEED 10 OF THEM

So many starwars references in this episode

the spider jockeys are so jiggley

The way Ivor says "quickly Now"

JESSE

WHAT THE FUCK JESSE

WHY DID YOU TOSS THAT BUCKET???!

Yo PAMA whadda hell

Dont mind me gotta just climb up your entire body as you're having the world worst headache

Hehehhe no you cant-

Awww Look at her Dumb ass Pleading

Really???? You didn't???!

Yup mhm instantly

Ivor, You silly man

what we can do to replenish everything is we can take them to my world and build a quick iron farm for all the buckets in the world get saplings and resources

For real it sets up for you to be mad at Petra, to save Lukas, so that you have this big Climactic fight with Petra and then you have this nice thing at the end!

Sometimes Choose your own adventure games can be silly

So true bestie

Ah yes, this game, Z-fighting in the eyes.. you love to see it

[kozykricket]

Been conceptualizing a minecraft modpack of my own, heavily inspired by Raspberry Flavoured (which imo is peak minecraft rn but thats besides the point) but, something im always caught up on, when it comes to progression and amount of content, is...

the item loss system. I know i've talked about it before, but let me walk you through some thoughts ive had: So, keeping in mind I want to use a gravestone-like mod for keeping items on death

"Oh, enchanting tables working with chiseled bookshelves! So once you find an enchanted book, you can just access that enchant pretty easily forever! I love that. I think I want reusable armor trims, too. Since I don't like having to duplicate them with diamonds" Ah, but... that doesn't quite fit with keeping your items on death... because then, its almost TOO easy, being TOO nice. whats the point of being able to trim more armors, if you're not gonna ever lose your armor? and... also, I think delving more into perma-progression like blocks that allow you new recipes, to quickly get back to where you were in terms of gear you lost... is a really fun direction! So lets go with losing items again! But ah! Now... I do have the fun reusable enchanting system, and I even get cooler progression! But certain items REALLY suck to lose now... like tridents, or anything made with echo shards. Because they aren't renewable. Any special reward / incentive that really has deep one-of-a-kindness to it like that... is a massive pain to lose. Don't want to be THAT cruel so, okay, fine. no item loss. you keep your stuff. but ... that makes resource progression less interesting. Who cares about diamonds anymore when you just need a few here and there to repair your tools? Or to duplicate an armor trim? Plus, what to do with enchanting..."

so, caught between a rock and a hard place. I'm unsure if I'd want to keep all my items on death if it meant I'd have to gather diamonds for freakin armor trim duplication lmao. I think I'd rather have an entire progression system designed around getting stuff back. I guess its just like, you want to put the permanence either into the item loss / lack of item loss system, or into the item gain system. Not both - that'd be too much Gain without much Need for many things I think, as I see minecraft clearly going the route of designing incentives around NOT losing items, and clearly eventually having something closer to keepinventory on by default... I'd rather design something ELSE! and so yknow what? incentives can just be... renewable!! or reusable!! yes, you can lose things. but you'll get em back easily! an armor trim, you just make new armor and trim it easy peasy, no needing to get a new trim. you have plenty of Steel from having gained access to the Nether now ! so. could make the mace just need a breeze rod and some iron. so it still is gated to trial chambers... but, put more emphasis on its enchants for its power level and, more things could be Stuff you Place Down. since you cant actually lose those! unlike items you keep on you! ...but then, if i go with this, that might mean i get way less cool modded content to really feasibly play with. a cool rare mob that drops a cool rare helmet? Well that just doesnt work.. so i have to pick between cool helmets and rare trinkets you wouldnt wanna lose... or a cool engaging enchanting and gear progression system! Bwah! I'm sure theres a middleground but. That sounds like the MOST headache inducing one, for ME anyways. to design.

//spoilers for Young Iron's In Pursuit of Self chapter, "27 - Darkness", and for general big lore things such as the Gold dust things

AAAAAAAAA CONTINUING ON FROM THE REBLOG. I WILL THROW THIS PHONE IM TELLING YOU LOT I WILL.

"Why is it so cold?" ..OLIVIA. IM TELLING YOU LOT THIS IS BAD. BECAUSW YKNOW HOW LIKE GOLD FUST IS WARM AND YKNOW HER GOLDEN WHISYLE ID GONE?? WELL. YEAH UH. YEAH.

COLD IROWB NAOSOAOAOAOAOAOAOAKAOOOA.

MY HEART. FIRST IT WAS NORTH. NOW OLVIIA?? To think abput it, its quite poetic considering how North's (possible) last words were "Im sorry" while Olivia's (MOSTBLIKELY POSSIBLE) last words were "North" being yknow.. His name

Kinda yknow poetic to think that they wouldve (MOST LIKELY NEARLY.) died on the same day.. AAAAOFHAKFJDJ

..wait. Peony said that Polly's enginr was somehow "saved" and now Olivia's gained cold iron sleep. Last chapter it was explained how and why Polly's soul entered Olivia's body to help her with her sickness. And since it's known that mostly sentient locomotives are the ones who mostly gain cold iron sleep.. Cold iron sleep entered Olivia's body THROUGH POLLY'S ENGINE BECAUSE THERES NOT MUCH GOLD DUST INSIDE HER ENGINE TO BLOCK OUT COLD IRON SLEEP. WHTAAHWYATA.

BUT HEY. THATS JUST A THEORY. A GAME THEORY-

YKNOW ITS QUITE RICH THAT, OF ALL PEOPLE, ROOSTER WAS THE ONE TO SAY THAT (considering his name HELAHFLDPSJAH)

"He has PTSD?" ..SCOT. HE. SAW. YOU. DROP. DEAD. OF COURSE HE HAS PTSD MY GOSH

THANK THE LORD ROOSTER MENTIONED THAT

ROOSTER SAYING THE REALEST WORDS HERE. IM TELLING YOU LOT ROOSTER IS SAYING THE TRUEST WORDS IN THIS CHAPTER

Wait. OKAY WAIT. WHAT. THIS WHOLE TIME. MY GOSH IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE. SIR GRESLEY TOLD MALLARD ONT HE GOLD DUST

After 31 reads.. MY GOAH IM STARTING TO REALIZE THIS

"he'd begun to lose faith in North" WHAT. SLAMMING MY DESK RN. I knew this wouldve been said soon BUT WJAT I DIDNT KNOW IT WAS THIS KNOWN TO THE OTHERS?? Well SURPRISE SURPRISE ME ITS A NEW CHAPTER OF COURSE I DIDNT KNOW-

PAUSE. MALLARF?????? OKAY MALLARD IS REASONABLE TO BE GUESSED AS A GOLDEN WARDEN BUT TO BE ONE OF THE OPTIONS TO BE ONE?????? IM JUST FALLING OFF MY CHAIR RN. WHAT.

"He convinced himself into becoming a monster" and "No one hated Mallard more than himself." ARE. THE. MOST. RELATABLE. QUOTES. IM QUOTING THIS. THIS. these quotes are so relatable in many ways I could make 2 posts on. I SWEAR TO GOSH AAAAAA. Young Iron is shockingly relatable in all emotions in many ways AND MY GOSH DID IT BECOME MORE RELATABLE AAAAAAAA

Okay. Pause. Merlin was the only one to stay with Mallard throughout his black smoke arc. And yet it killed him in tje end..

NOW THIS IS THE BIT I TRULY TEAR UP AT. IM PAUSING THIS GIVE ME A MOEMNT.

Now continuing on.. Kimg

The True Meaning of Iron in the Blood of the Fallen: 

Part 2: 

(Location: Central Kingdom, City of Honor, Day Time)

Passerby: Hey, you… 

Suddenly, a suspicious voice spoke. A man, seemingly a passerby, looked down at the boy with his eyebrows knitted together. 

Boy in a hat: Mister…  

Passerby: So you're still in this town? Crawling on the ground in such a state… 

Even now, do you fail to realize that your stubbornness is a stain on the Bernard family’s reputation? 

Shino: Bernard…? 

Boy in a hat: … 

Passerby: I don’t know what it is you're trying to do, but if nothing else, live up to your name. 

I can’t take seeing this anymore… 

As the exasperated man turned and left, Arthur lowered his voice and turned to ask the boy something. 

Arthur: Are you alright? Something must be bothering you… 

Boy in a hat: Ah… 

The boys eyes refocused on Arthur. As if to confirm the sight in front of him, he blinked repeatedly, his mouth slightly ajar. 

Boy in a hat: Um… are you perhaps… a member of the Granvelle Royal Family…? 

Akira: Aah…

Arthur: Oh. 

Arthur’s eyes widened and he put a finger to his lips. 

The boy suddenly whispered. 

Boy in a hat: I-I’m sorry, I probably shouldn’t be yelling your name in the street… 

White: What a sensible child. Though I am surprised that even children like you know Arthur’s face, even if this domain is situated near the Royal Capital. 

It seems as though anonymity will prove more difficult, as of late. 

Shino: Hey. Just now, that man called you Bernard.

Thats the same name as the hero in this book. Are you his descendant? 

Shino looked at the boy, his voice innocent. 

However, the boy lowered his gaze, avoiding Shino’s eyes. 

Boy in a hat: Yes… I am the only one in this town with that surname… 

Arthur: I see… you… the esteemed Bernard family has existed since even before the Central Country was established. 

Faust: If he’s from such a family, it isn’t strange for him to know Arthur’s face. 

Boy in a hat: … The only admirable thing about me is that name. 

Like that guy said earlier… I don't even deserve that… 

 The boy muttered softly, before turning his back on us and looking over, his sincere eyes, locking onto Arthur. 

Boy in a hat: You are a great person who will one day carry this country on your shoulders. I apologize for disrespecting your friends. 

I thought I was simply picking up a lost item, I was even thinking of delivering it to its owner but… I am ashamed of my own shallowness. 

For me to run away like that, I must have been tempted by the darkness*, because I didn’t have enough money to buy bread… 

I will accept any punishment you bestow upon me: even death. 

Akira: Death…? 

White: There is no need to go so far to repent. Right, Arthur?

At Snow’s cue, Arthur nodded gently. 

With a beautiful gesture, he knelt down in front of him and spoke softly. 

Arthur: Punishment is about justice. Even if I did order such a harsh sentence, it would only cause more suffering for everyone involved. 

Additionally, Lord Oz is a kind man, he wouldn’t be angry at someone for merely bumping into him. 

As for Murr, I believe he only wanted to play with you, who found his wallet. 

Murr: Yep! I just wanted to play!

Shylock: My apologies, this man is merely a harmless stray cat. 

Oz: Children tend to run recklessly. 

Arthur: See, that’s what everyone thinks. And in any case, you don’t hold any sincere malice. 

That’s why, I believe simply returning the wallet would be fine. What do you think, Murr? 

Murr: Great-! 

Boy in a hat: … hic… thank you very much! I’ll return it immediately. 

Murr: Yay! Thanks a lot! 

Once Shino released the restraints, the boy brushed his clothes off and stood up. 

As he bowed politely and handed the wallet to Murr, his stomach growled audibly. 

The boy looked embarrassed as he held his thin stomach. 

Faust: Are you Hungry? 

Shino: If he had so little food he would resort to messing with other people's things… 

Boy in a hat: No, umm… 

The boy, who ackewary held his arms close to his body, wore frayed clothes that revealed his bony limbs. 

Looking through the gap between his long bangs, I saw dark circles under his eyes.

Akira: (As Shino said, maybe he’s having trouble making ends meet.) 

Shylock: <Invibelle> 

As Shylock chanted a spell from beside the boy, a package wrapped in pale particles of light presented itself before him, 

Boy in a hat: Is this magic…? Are you also a wizard? 

Shylock: I am, in fact. If you’d like, please accept this.  

It’s a bit small, but I wrapped up a few leftover cheeses and dried fruits from my store. 

Boy in a hat: H-huh…?

White: Hm, it was a good idea to buy pastries as well as churros. 

Let’s take a look at what we have and find something to share, Oz. 

Oz: Come to think of it, I do have your luggage… This biscuit. 

Arthur: Then my contribution is thus: nuts I smack on whenever I get hungry.  

Akira: I’d also like to donate the candy I have on my pockets ! 

Murr: I’ll give you something too: this sandwich I just bought and bit into! 

The boy’s eyes widened as food piled up in his hands, creating a small mountain. 

Boy in a hat: Are you sure it’s alright? I’ve revived so much… 

Shino: Take whatever you can get. You’ve gotten lucky. 

Faust: I can’t ignore the fact that you’re a troubled child, but don’t do anything bad from now on. 

Faust said as he added a package of dried meat he’d taken from his pocket, and added it to the pile. 

A small smile appeared on the boy’s face. 

Boy in a hat: *Hic* I won’t. Thank you, how can I ever repay you…? 

But suddenly, his eyes widened, as if hesitating. 

Boy in a hat: Umm, you didn’t hear this from me, but if you’re visiting this town, you may not want to stay for too long. 

There’s been a lot of trouble lately. 

Shino: … What’s been happening? 

Boy in a hat: There have been demons lurking*  around these streets. 

No one’s seen the culprit yet, but all the victims have strange scars on their necks, as if they were bitten by something… 

Murr: You mean there’s a serial attacker on the loose? **

Arthur: That’s quite worrisome to hear. 

Akira: To think something like this is going on, even though the town seems so peaceful… 

Boy in a hat: Yeah… fortunately, there don’t seem to have been any casualties. Even still, isn’t it super creepy? 

You have all treated me well… I don’t want anyone else getting hurt, so it’s best if you head home as soon as you’ve finished your business. 

Arthur: … 

Boy in a hat: Then… I’ll leave you here. Please, be safe. 

Shino: Hey, you… 

Grasping Shino’s outstretched hand, the boy bowed his head, as if saying goodbye. 

Then he ran off into the alleyway. 

Shino: He… smelled like blood. 

Akira: What…?

White: Perhaps he was injured. Though the severity of their situations differ, children like that exist in all countries. 

Murr: Even so, he didn’t seem too attached to money or food. He was pretty well behaved! 

Shylock: His family is quite reputable. Perhaps something serious has transpired. 

If he’s recently found himself in need he must feel quite lost and confused. 

Arthur: It sees something quite nefarious is happening in this city. I hope he stays safe… 

Faust: … 

As Arthur spoke in concern, Faust stared at the alley where the boy had disappeared. 

(Location: Central Kingdom, Magic Manor, Common Room, Night Time)

After dinner that day, I shared chocolate tarts with Shino, Arthur, and Mitile in the common room. 

Mitile: This chocolate tart is delicious, thank you so much for bringing me back a souvenir! 

Akira: I’m so glad you like it! Thank you for working so hard today for your test. 

Shino: It’s a reward for both of our efforts. Though, I planned on getting lemon pie. 

Arthur: Unfortunately they were sold out. We selected these on the shopkeeper’s recommendation. 

Akira: That’s right. But lemon pie will get its revenge soon. 

A peaceful atmosphere, like sharing snacks with friends after school. 

They each looked relaxed, stuffing themselves with tarts and chatting, as Shino was engrossed in his new book. 

Akira: Shino, that’s the book Faust bought you today, right? What is it about? I’m also curious about the heroes from your world. 

Shino: Alright? This book is a detailed record of events from over 400 years ago. 

It’s the story of the head of the Bernard family’s exploits. He's Known as an “Unsung hero”*** from a war-torn time. 

Mitile: An Unsung Hero…! That sounds cool! 

But why is he “unsung”? If you’re called a hero, doesn’t that mean you’ve done some kind of amazing deeds in public…? 

Arthur: Central Country before the founding of the Granville dynasty is known as the harshest time of the warring states era. 

Until King Alec led his revolutionary army to establish the Central Country, our region was in constant turmoil, with battles constantly raging in most areas. 

The head of the Bernard family during that time was a famous general who fought well. 

Faust: …Heroes have no faces or shadows.****

Akira: Faust. 

I hadn’t noticed until he spoke, but Faust had entered the common room, speaking to us from the entranceway. 

Noticing the book in Shino’s hand, he made his way over to us, putting his hand on the back of the couch we were sitting on. 

Faust: The Central Country of that time was a lawless land. 

As fearful humans and doubtful wizards fought each other, misinformation spread rapidly, and nefarious beings took advantage of the confusion. 

Among them, the one that settled in that area was the most brutal. 

I’ve come across legends about it before. It’s called-

Shino: Valcy. An ancient magical creature that feeds on human blood. 

It’s in the book. It was on the test too. 

Akira: Could that be the creature in the picture you showed me earlier…? 

Shino: Yeah. The creepy thing that looks like a red cocoon.

Translator’s notes:

*The specific word used here is 魔, which is commonly translated as “the devil” or “evil spirits”. 

**連���通り魔事件 Literally means many “cases of attacks on the streets”. 

***影の英雄 Literally means “Shadow Hero” or “Hero of Shadows”. In this context, it refers to his deeds going unnoticed, as if he’d performed them in the shadows, where no one could see. 

**** 「英雄に、表も影もない。」Literally means “heroes have no faces nor shadows”. In this context, Faust means heroes have no identities: their “faces” which make them distinguishable individuals, or “shadows”: their legacies. This is related to the fact that Bernard is a hero “without a shadow” or “unsung”, and similarly, Faust’s true fate and legacy went unrecorded by history.

do you ever wonder about your life? Hm… What’s a moment you cherish?

AAAA This was a really fun one! I enjoyed thinking about their thoughts on life in a more philosipal lens! Thank you Butterfly! :D

Wayne -(-⊕ ζ ⊕-)< :

Wayne blinked, processing the question for a moment before speaking. "I do often reflect on many aspects of my life... mainly how unlucky I seem to be with my choices in the long run." The lampsmith made a long sigh, running a hand through his hair. Hesitance more than evident on his face and in his voice as he spoke. "Specifics are often hard in that regard for me. Apologies."

"As for what I cherish, I suppose the close bonds I have with others. I find it something that brings a warm glimmer of comfort to me... even in the most bleak of moments."

Ivy ξ(❁) ⊕) ξ:

"What a interesting question for such a dainty creature to ask. Although, I'd imagine thats qutie ironic coming from me, Huhuhu!" The Costume Maker held up a hand to her face as she giggled. "To answer your query, I often question how my life might have led if certain things weren't scarred for good so to speak. I suppose a good example is if my mentor was actually here - or even alive for me to speak to."

"Its all listless dreaming on my part. Nothing quite ment to be held all too seriously I assure you." She shrugged, waving a hand dissmissively. "As for what I cherish, I'd have to say its my positive memories. They tend to make me stronger when I have to face a negitive one."

LeRoy 🗝️>(⊖▼⊗´)•ζ :

"Often when I take walks in the mornings. The quiet mornings out there coupled with your thoughts tends to allow them to wander a bit." He chuckled. "Its quite nice sometimes. Although, in the terms of your question, I suppose it may be a little more sad as my thoughts often drift to escaping this place. I'm unsure if it would even be possible to return to life as I knew it... Its a little discouraging."

"Ah! However, I do have many of my prized possessions here with me. I find it quite hard for a memory of someone to die if you have something that reminds you of them." He grinned. "Watches, rings, scrapbooks of photos, I cherish those memories and people greatly."

Delilah Ⴑ(‘❁◡❁’)Ⴑ:

"Well, yeah. Of course I do - who doesn't is a better question." Delilah lightly teased. "I've had many questions to myself as I've been stuck here. I sometimes wonder if I should have tried to do things like reconsile with my family before this all happened. Would that have helped my case here in any way? Would it have made it worse? I don't think I'll get to know."

"On the brighter note of cherishings, I do appreciate being able to continue my art here regardless of the circumstance. I also appreciate the uh - community this place has. I certainly don't feel insane for any paranormal encounters I have. Most of the time people have seen worse!"

Pip (◼⊗_⊗’)/* :

"Yeah." Pip mumbled, picking at a loose thread on his cloak. He'd need to fix that later. "Sometimes I wonder if I'd cause less trouble if I liked the subjects my parents deemed impressive or smart. Not that that matters much now, but it would be nice to know if they could be happy together again."

"I enjoy what I create and share with others. Storytelling is just so much more fun with company to react to the good parts with you."

Miss Manni (,◡ _ ◡,):

"Oh, dear what an interesting question." Miss Manni tilted her hand into her palm, taking a moment to think. "I do. I'm often meloncolic about my life in the past, what could have been, and simply what is now. Its always quite the debocle to figure out why my fate led itself to here."

"Although, I must say, I do treasure the many faces I've gotten to meet over my new chance at life. The additional freedoms from certain societal standards has been quite the needed vacation for myself as well in a way. Its strange to think of a place like this in that light though, isn't it huhuhu!"

Eleanor (´⬬_⬬`)< :

"I think of a lot of things. I often have time to reflect." Eleanor said, pausing for a moment as they set their pet rat down before they continued. "People's motivations, forgotten contexts hidden in memories, and much more. I wish to know how they'd change my views on my past."

"I appreciate the stage along with the new friends I have aqquired here."

The Shadowed Man /++ ◡ ++\:

"Hrmmmm... why yes, little butterfly. I do." A layered laugh echoed from the shadow as they tapped their hand upon their cane. "Although, I'm afraid I've existed far too long for such reflections to particularly make a interesting impact on me like the one you'd like."

"As for cherishings, I quite enjoy when humans have someting uniqe they bring to my interactions with them. Not only will it entertains us both, but it makes their pitiful existence so much more memorible."

as per req. from @koobinn

Their thoughts on David? Or which deals with what situation or what triggers a switch?

ok INDIVIDUALLY. foxhound era since thats our favorite :)

null is wary of pretty much everyone. if anyones the type to self isolate, its him. that being said, hes most attentive when it comes to matters of either work or matters of big boss. null is bibos little guard dog (affectionate) SO hes more suspicious of david than he is caring of him. especially since he Does Not vibe with miller or ocelot AT ALL. david getting special attention only makes him more of a concern.

frank... honestly doesnt know him, really! very VERY rarely does he so much as show up in headspace while theyre at foxhound. it just isnt his business and he stays away from it. what DOES get him out while hes there is getting letters from naomi :) thats his sister :) naomi :) but even then, he knows better than to do just about anything while hes around. hiding them away until he dissociates back out. otherwise, he'll only sorta be present in headspace at most via positive triggers.

fox :) dave thats his little guy. its funny not knowing whats wrong with you and only getting a name for yourself way later but yes he steals the name gray fox away from the rest for himself. he mainly exists in spaces where a certain level of camaraderie is necessary while out on business, but he doesnt usually do the work himself (hi null!) that being said, he IS the king of pretending to be human for the sake of establishing (superficial) relationships w his peers. he just has a very distinct personality of Faking Everything because if he thinks too much about his purpose as an entity he'll start itching for pain. which, ha, is a pretty big trigger aside from established environment. specifically self-requested/initiated harm. ironically grounding Specifically for him. but yes :) dave he likes that guy thats his little guy who doesnt mind when fox acts weird and does what hes told and is cute while doing it and (no this isnt love, i dont even know what that is!)

and as a special treat, mr ninja... ah ninja, you elude me still, but i can say insofar as that involuntary pain/harm is one of his bigger triggers, pulled off of null when he split, actually! he knows david as a Name, more than anything. a concept which establishes [an end]. he isnt nearly a masochist (i can literally tell you whos fronting where in mgs1 cutscenes somethings wrong with me), but rather just an entity who exists in a weird bubble of ignorance and simplicity (also pulled off null. post mg2 null is, how do i say, Different from pre mg2 null). very (tell me what to do and ill do it), holding onto the idea of (needing to die) and (snake killed us. he can do it again).
