˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡˚ words of endearment - the grid ˚ ༘ ೀ⋆｡˚

pairing: female!reader x the grid

summary: the words of endearment or pet names the men of the grid would more than likely call you if you were in a relationship with them! <3

a/n: this isn't anything super serious! just something cute i was thinking of yesterday & decided to write it! :))

max verstappen ➵ liefje - meaning "little dear" in dutch. although you may be the same height as him, maybe even taller, he just thinks that term is so fitting, so you. you're his little dear, whether you like it or not!

sergio "checo" pérez ➵ mi amor - meaning "my love" in spanish. it was one of the first nicknames he ever gave you, and it has just stuck since. however, the meaning of it has become deeper and deeper as your relationship with the driver has progressed. he often uses it in interviews whenever speaking of you, just to keep your name private from the nosy press.

carlos sainz ➵ mi corazón - meaning "my heart" in spanish. you are quite literally everything he has ever wanted in a partner, and you treat him exceptionally well. since you have shown him nothing but love from the start of your relationship, you are the reason he keeps going. you keep him motivated to keep breathing, so that's how you got the loving nickname.

charles leclerc ➵ love of my life - you could quite literally ask anyone who charles loves the most, and their answer would be you. that man adores you more than he loves racing, more than leo, and more than his friendships with the other drivers. you are the one thing he loves most, so of course he's going to refer to you as the love of his life.

lando norris ➵ my sunshine - after a tough race one day, you held him in your arms, humming "you are my sunshine" as he fell asleep. ever since that night, he has always lovingly referred to you as "my sunshine", as you light up his dark days.

oscar piastri ➵ honey - the meaning behind this is simple. you're just so sweet like honey, and he cannot get enough of you. even when you're apart, he is craving his little "honey bee."

lewis hamilton ➵ love bug - at first, he used it jokingly, since he thought you "stung" him, injecting him with a love spell. however, over time, it is the nickname he has used it the most frequently. he uses it all of the time: in interviews, across social media, and at the paddock. you will forever be his little love bug.

george russell ➵ darling - this was another one used jokingly, but over time, it really grew on him. you were making fun of his british lingo and accent one day, and so he jokingly stated, "well if you don't like it darling, then you can leave!" yet, it grew on you too, the two of you using it for inside jokes, but for other occasions as well.

daniel ricciardo ➵ my sweet southern belle - he likes to use this one with an exaggerated accent. we all know how much daniel loves the south, so it was just perfect he used it one day with you. also, he likes to think you're a little innocent. (but that could be further from the truth, and he knows it)

yuki tsunoda ➵ my cutie - he just thinks everything you do is so so cute. he can't get enough of your contagious energy, and your presence. additionally, he uses the term whenever he addresses you on social media, which has the fans going wildddd at how pure his love is for you.

pierre gasly ➵ ma moitié - meaning "my other half" in french. he likes to think of it more as "my better half" whenever he uses it. after all, you bring out the best in him. no matter his mood, the occasion, or the location. you are just his person, and he wants you to know that.

esteban ocon ➵ mon cœur - meaning "my heart" in french. you are this man's everything. his sun, his moon, his stars. his entire world. he would be so lost without all of your continuous support and love.

fernando alonso ➵ bebé - meaning "baby" in spanish. although you get mami quite often, he uses the latter because you are his baby. no one else could ever compare to you.

lance stroll ➵ ma belle - meaning "my beautiful" in french. he just thinks you are so breathtaking, and he wants you to know every. single. day. no matter what.

alex albon ➵ sweetheart - not only are you sweet, but you have a good heart. and that is what alex admires most about you, as it shines through in every aspect of your life. so why not combine the two?

logan sargeant ➵ baby girl - look, the man is from florida so i can picture him exaggerating this with a slight southern accent. however, this was a nickname he used from day one, as he did not want you to lose interest or feel like you were unwanted.

kevin magnussen ➵ skat - meaning "treasure" in danish. when you first heard him say it, you were confused, as you thought he was quire literally calling you "shit." however, he made it very clear that you are the one thing in life that he cherishes the most.

nico hülkenberg ➵ engel - meaning "angel" in german. you appeared in his life at a moment where he needed someone most, so he lovingly refers to you as his "little engel." plus, he thinks you just have this warm, inviting light to you that always shines.

valterri bottas ➵ kulta - while the meaning directly translate to "gold" in english, he uses it endearingly as "dear" or "darling." as the english translation suggests, you are so precious to him and he never wants to let you go.

zhou guanyu ➵ beautiful girl - when zhou slid into your dms for the first time, that was the first thing he commented. since then, the nickname has stuck. and no, you never get tired of it. ever.

bonus!

toto wolff ➵ hase - meaning "bunny" in german. if you were to be an animal in his eyes, you would be a bunny. you're oh so cute, oh so cuddly, and well... the two of you may act like rabbits at times (if ya catch my drift)

[lucifer-misadventures-au]

Random Luci misadventures stuff that nobody fuckin' ask for PT 3~:

In my blog...Luci HATES beds! He despises them! Ever since he was a fledgling still living in heaven, he, God and his former Archangel siblings sleep together in nests like a flock of birds, same with the other sins too! They were fallen angels like Luci so they too grew up sleeping in nests while also despises beds. To Luci and the other sins, beds are REALLY uncomfortable especially the ones who still got their wings, like Satan and Luci and maybe Bee and Ozzie, laying on a rectangular mattress surrounded by handcrafted wood with pillows only for your head and having a blanket on top of you to "keep you warm"? To them it's an ABOMINATION, a MONSTROSITY! As much as Luci still adore Humans despite what they think of him, there are some things he couldn't understand about them, like beds! He gets that Humans but him and other sins? Heck naw! They prefer nests because they were angels back in the past, thank you very much! Lilith doesn't seem to get it as Luci was forced to sleep with her in that uncomfortable abomination, his words not mine or yours, this could be one of the many reasons for Luci's insomnia problem. After the divorce Luci just threw the bed he has from the bedroom out of the highness balcony in the palace cursing the said bed and flipped it off.

He then went shopping for materials or substitute for said materials for his new nest, he's glad he no longer has to sleep on that stupid bed and finally sleep comfortably, and he does with both his two precious sons,

Arthur was surprised by the fact angels, especially fallen angels prefer to sleep on nests instead of beds, though, he became quickly accustomed to the tradition that he doesn't even want to sleep on a bed ever again,

Lance was born after the divorce so, he grew up sleeping in nests and when he was put on an actual bed, he would screech and scratch the person who tried putting him on such a thing, cursing them while calling the bed as a monstrosity,

Charlie was hesitant about sleeping on nests like her brothers, though Vaggie being a angel herself was really ecstatic to point that uncharacteristically begged Charlie to join in, seeing on how Vaggie loves sleeping on nest, she agree and like Arthur, she quickly became accustomed to sleeping on nests

F1 Re-Watch 2022: Round 11 - Austria

Yes I’m carrying this on even though we literally have the first race of 2023 tomorrow sadhuvh I am determined to finished this now that I’ve started (and I’m actually enjoying it despite the RBR domination and Ferrari clownery).

Anyway, I yet again remember nothing from this race other than Seb and his bee hotel, so I am once again going into a race blind so let’s just jump on in

ngl the Red Bull Ring is a very pretty track, I love me some forests

okay let’s see how painful the starting grid is

Seb P18 🥲

Lance P12 oh no team green why????

nvm MICK P9!!! and Lewis P8

ESTEBAN IN 6TH????

Oh Verstappen’s on pole. huh.

“Who is there to stop him?” “If Ferrari get their act together” lol

(wait... is this the race where Carlos’ car went on fire??? I feel like that happened)

ugh flares my beloathed. The smoke is literally blowing onto the track. no bloody thank you.

“What can Ferrari do?” Nothing Crofty this is 2022 Ferrari we’re talking about.

(Unrelated but I’ve had one 2023 programme of Alex Jacques comms and I already miss him, the things I endure for Ted crumbs)

[Start/Lap 1]: GEORGE????? That start though

OH SHIT Perez off into the gravel after making contact with George. Not that surprised bc that battle was SPICY

Seb with damage too WHYYYYYY 😭

[Lap 2]: asdfghjkl Ted confusing the red stripe on the RBR overalls for Perez’s tyres. Excellent sports journalism.

[Lap 3]: Oh boy. Mick racing Lewis. I weep.

[Lap 4]: What I like about the Red Bull Ring is that the lap is so short it keeps the field together a bit longer.

Perez v Russell replay. oof.

Braincells boys, braincells.

[Lap 5]: Mick got past Lewis 🥺

[Lap 6]: Crofty calling out Sainz’s track limit crimes on the first lap aefvuhu

[Lap 7]: Truly astounded at Haas in 6th and 7th. something something looking like rockstars

oh shit Charles is catching up to Verstappen actually??? 👀

Will the Ferrari pitwall hang onto their braincells for the whole race though?

[Lap 8]: Oh shit Charles is REALLY catching Verstappen, gap down to around half a second.

rip Perez got lapped already, another part of the track being so short

[Lap 9]: Meanwhile Russell has somehow dragged the W13 into fourth. madness.

[Lap 10]: CHARLES TRIES THE DIVEBOMB

Was unsuccessful but gold star for effort.

(5 sec pen for Russell causing violence)

[Lap 11]: oh my days an actual battle for the lead I have MISSED THIS

[Lap 12]: CHARLES

HE JUST SNUCK INTO TURN 4 AND GOT PAST HIM HELL YEAH!!!!

cut to happy Ferrari fans. an unfamiliar sight in 2022.

[Lap 13]: advuhu Charles now on two warnings for track limits, you muppet

Seb watch: He’s into P13!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

[Lap 14]: oh my days Esteban into third STOP THE COUNT

ooooh Lewis with a NICE pass on Mick round turns 5 and 6

and YOU get a warning for track limits and YOU get a warning for track limits.

[Lap 15]: and Lewis gets past Kev as well, into P4!!

I am really not used to Haas being so fast but get it lads!!!

[Lap 16]: Fernando P10, Seb P11. Insert Fernando’s quote from Abu Dhabi about how they always find a way to race each other 😭

[Lap 17]: SEB INTO THE POINTS, END THE RACE

yes I know it’s because he hasn’t stopped yet let me live in delusion

[Lap 18]: LANCE IN P5. STOP THE RACE!!!!

[Lap 20]: Seb sighting in the background of Yuki v Zhou v Fernando!!!

also yes, midfield spice!! excellent!!

[Lap 22]: “We are considering Plan E” the pain I felt hearing that. FERRARI STOP

[Lap 23]: noice pass from Esteban on Zhou!!

Midfield spice how I’ve missed you!!!

and Esteban gets past Yuki too...

...and Yuki tries to get him back.

while Zhou and Fernando scrap over P8

ACTUAL RACING!!! (beloved)

[Lap 24]: FIVE CARS INTO TURN 5 WHAT THE FUCK

AHHHHHHHHHH

LADS

I mean that was great but I WASN’T BREATHING

[Lap 25]: That wasn’t Bono on Lewis’ radio. That did not pass the vibe check.

[Lap 26]: MICK BACK INTO THE POINTSSSSSSS

oh my days Lewis P4 and Lance P5 *longest yeah boi ever*

oop Perez’s car gets retired because it’s so broken

and Charles pits. idk how I feel about Ferrari trying a one stop. I don’t trust it.

[Lap 28]: Ted manifesting a Safety Car. You don’t need to invite chaos Ted this is F1 it happens on the Ferrari pitwall every week.

[Lap 29]: oof Lewis’ slow stop means he comes out behind Esteban

It’s okay Merc mechanics we still love you.

[Lap 30]: Charles taking a second out of Verstappen’s lead. Inject it.

Lewis gets past Esteban clean as you like into turn 3.

[Lap 31]: Post-stops Seb and Lance are chilling in 14th and 15th, so long to the dizzing heights of the top ten, thanks AMR22 😭

oh this was a sprint race weekend that explains quali a little bit.

(please stop trying to make sprint races happen though, they’re not going to happen)

“You can’t get a two person tent in a 40 mile radius of Amsterdam for love nor money” Crofty 🤝 Seb: if you want to steal shit go to the Netherlands it’s empty

[Lap 33]: CHARLES RETAKES THE LEAD!!!!

that looked painfully easy

MICK INTO P6!!!

Seb and Lance being turtles aside I’m loving this race this is great!

[Lap 35]: and YOU get a penalty for track limits and YOU get a penalty for track limits

oh not Fernando wagging a finger at Yuki sdgheughuh he’s such an old man

[Lap 36]: Lewis P4, Esteban P5, Mick P6. I LOVE F1

Why are we grilling Otmar on Fernando’s strategy mid race???? I would not want to just broadcast my driver’s strategy on TV just like that.

I’d say take a shot every time someone gets done for track limits but you’d get alcohol poisoning so maybe do water instead.

(Braincells boys, braincells)

[Lap 39]: I was hoping Crofty wouldn’t mention those dark clouds bc they’re making me anxious.

Is it bad I’m still wondering how Ferrari are going to mess up the 1-2 they currently have? I’m fully expecting Verstappen to still win this.

[Lap 40]: SEB NOOOOOOOOO don’t spin into the gravel 😭

This is not the way I wanted a Seb sighting.

ughhhhhhh he was racing Gasly, Russell v Perez 2.0. RUDE PIERRE. RUDE.

Livery watch: Aston Martin still pretty though 💚

[Lap 42]: Norris v Magnussen 👀

Lewis the latest to join the track limit club.

if everyone gets a time penalty for track limits then does anyone have a penalty for track limits?

well at least Gasly got a pen for spinning out Seb

I too am Crofty being unable to keep up with how many drivers have been penalised for track limits or have a warning.

George v Lance, that was a fun three corner battle

Seriously, apart from the two bits of violence the racing has been GREAT thus far.

[Lap 46]: and as I type that Mick goes down the inside of Lance

and Lance get’s him back.

No Bono on Lewis’ team radio does not feel right at all I do not like it

[Lap 48]: Meanwhile both Haas cars get past Lance on the same straight, this race has been truly WILD so far

damn Charles really hasn’t won a race from outside pole??? that’s a wild stat.

[Lap 49]: Ferrari seemingly chuck the one stop straight in the bin. Charles pits for hards.

is this Clowneria Ferrari striking again??? I’m getting those vibes.

[Lap 51]: Lewis still in P4 we absolutely love to see it!!!

no Nicky DNF 😔

oh nvm Lewis is stopping again

OH he has a 30+ gap to Fernando we’re fine

“Incident Noted - Gasly, failing to observe penalty” OOP

[Lap 53]: Charles once again getting past Verstappen like it’s nothing.

Seb watch: he’s in plum last I hate it here 😭

[Lap 55]: I’m (sadly) still waiting to see how Ferrari mess this up. I just don’t trust them at this point.

(Though let’s be honest I haven’t really trusted Ferrari since 2019)

[Lap 57]: fdvheaihh Fernando gaining TWELVE positions during the race. El Plan intensifies.

Verstappen v Sainz you say??? 👀

OH SHIT maybe not

His car did go on fire at this race.

Ah I obviously did watch C4′s highlights of this race bc I do remember the car rolling down the hill whilst on fire. BIG YIKES. 0/10 would not recommend to a friend.

[Lap 58]: VSC for obvious reasons

Charles pits again???? 

ohhhhh it’s to cover cars behind stopping under the VSC, and to have grip at the restart. that makes sense actually.

(did Ferrari kidnap Bono??? that would explain a lot)

LEWIS IN P3!!!!!!! STOP THE COUNT!!!!!

[Lap 59]: Helmet watch: LEWIS RAINBOW HELMET KLAXON!!! 🌈

[Lap 60]: Prielli: We think everyone is going to do a one stop :) The grid: two and three stops galore because fuck you

[Lap 61]: ohhhhh no not Charles saying his throttle pedal feels off. Not double mechanical gremlins please I won’t cope.

“Everything is fine on the throttle pedal” IT BETTER BE XAVI 🔪

fuck this race really has had everything I’m knackered.

Seb still last. Stab me it would hurt less.

Lewis and George in P3 and P4, unbothered while everything implodes around them

[Lap 64]: ALBON IN THE POINTS!!! STOP THE RACE!!!

[Lap 65]: Charles throttle problems have not gone away, I swear to fucking god Ferrari STOP CLOWNING

oh boy Val and Alex fighting for P10, even more midfield spice

“So sometimes the throttle gets stuck” I’m sorry if my 17 year old deaf cat can still catch mice (true story, happened this afternoon) Ferrari should be able to build a working car. 

Bahrain 2019 flashbacks.

[Lap 67]: Verstappen closing to about 3 seconds behind. see I knew Ferrari would bin it.

(Rule 1 of F1 - Don’t trust Ferrari)

[Lap 68]: Seb joins the track limit party, fan-fucking-tastic.

nooo Alex down into P12 😔

[Lap 69]: SEB’S NOT IN PLUM LAST 🥳 I will take P16 over P17 any day

oh for fucks sake not downshift problems for Charles too.

Ferrari you owe me so much money in emotional damages, I’m not even joking.

[Lap 70]: Meanwhile MICK IN P6!!!!!!!!!!

[Lap 71/Finish]: stress stress stress stressssssssss

gap down to 2.1 seconds arghhhhhhhh

Meanwhile Fernando into P10. EL PLAN.

CHARLES WINS!!!!!!

thank fuck I can breathe. that was NOT FUN.

LEWIS P3!!!!! LET’S👏 GET👏 IT!!!

Ferrari I still want emotional damage money

“I was scared, I was really scared” ME TOO BUDDY

AND MICK FINISHES P6 FUCK YES!!!!!

nvm Seb does finish plum last he got a 5 sec penalty for track limits 😭

Oh jeez. That race was A LOT. Like, so much, possible too much but considering how many races were dull all the way through or had dull patches I will take one race of pure insanity. We had SO MUCH midfield spice, it was excellent, an ACTUAL BATTLE FOR THE LEAD!!!!! and honestly??? It was a great race from start to finish. I genuinely would watch it again.

9 front wings out of 10. Next race - France!

[danthropologie]

In your opinion, which driver is the most baby waby itsy bitsy cutie patootie and why?

let's do a full ranking from least to most just because:

20. lance- he's the #1 baby waby to his dad if that counts for anything (it doesn't)

19. nando- literal war criminal. agent of chaos. absolutely not.

18. checo- straight-laced, catholic, father of three. just Some Guy. basically the furthest you could get from baby waby

17. george - you know how in arrested development, the slogan of the alliance of magicians is 'we demand to be taken seriously'? that's george

16. guanyu- too busy serving angles, serving cunt, and being That Bitch 24/7

15. esteban- very cute, very sweet smile, and 'estie bestie' is literally the babiest nickname a person could possibly have, but i'm lowkey convinced that this man holds secret hidden darkness underneath. he's a war criminal lying in wait and i cannot trust him i'm sorry

14. pierre- secretly would love a bit of babying but he'd NEVER admit to it, and instead would probably just give you a death glare and avoid you for the rest of time if you dared even utter the words 'baby waby itsy bitsy cutie patootie' or any variation thereof around him

13. carlos- generally not baby waby because he's too much of a thirst trapping thot to be put in that category, but sometimes the baby jumps out. usually when he's lovingly bullying someone (charles)

12. lando- inherently baby waby in the youngest brother energy he's constantly exuding, but ONLY wants to be babied when it suits him (aka when it personally benefits him). any other time, he absolutely HATES it, gets pissed off when anyone even alludes to him being young, and is very much 'i'm NOT a baby, i'm a big boy!!' type of energy

11. max- less baby waby and more just flat out baby (affectionately derogatory). says what he thinks without much consideration for others, whines and complains about everything all the time, will laugh at even the stupidest of jokes, knows baby shark by heart, etc

10. kevin- former war criminal and furthest you could get from baby waby, but has since been reformed after becoming a dad and getting his seat back

9. seb- 50/50 could go either way. he's a dad and has dad energy (and is also a little bit of a bastard), but sometimes he gets in silly goofy moods and takes the FIA scooter for a joy run or wears his underwear on the outside of his pants. also goes really fucking hard for bees and loves riding his silly little bike, which is demonstrably baby energy

8. val- baby waby but not necessarily in the traditional sense as much as the 'the clear wag in his relationship and more than comfortable in that position' sense

7. yuki- you might expect that because he's small and cute and loves food that he would be higher on the baby waby scale, but he's shown a bit of a propensity for deviousness and general trickster behavior, especially when it comes to convincing others of his baby waby status, which knocks him down a few places overall

6. nicky- if nothing else he's MY baby waby. just having a good time and trying his best, even if his best is a little bit pathetic most of the time

5. charles- just look at him. those big wet eyes, the ever-present stress acne, the way the ferrari marketing team treats him like their personal marionette doll and he just goes along with it. baby waby.

4. lewis- the pigtails, the heart shaped jewelry, the monochromatic and coordinated outfits, the instagram account for roscoe that he posts on AS ROSCOE and then comments on as himself...i mean, cmon

3. alex- sweetest, softest boy you'll ever meet. see also: albon pets and his lavender albon pets helmet 🤧

2. mick- watch the delight on this man's face as he pets a dog and tell yourself he's not baby waby, you can't

1. daniel- yes i'm probably biased but he's also LITERALLY doing it to himself, i don't know what to tell you

[howlingday]

About Jaune ships...

I have opinions. You may not agree, but they are mine. They may change in time, but not now.

LANCASTER ( RUBY X JAUNE )

The old tried and true. I mean, what's not to like? Cute girl falls for first guy she meets at Beacon? Classic romance trope, and after reading how much Ruby loves romance stories (I consider certain parts in the manga canon), it makes sense. In fact, after Arkos sank (A moment of silence, please . . . Thank you), many moved to Lancaster, which isn't bad. Happens all the time in fandoms. Sad thing, though, is far I think she'll last. If we're talking Volume 5 or earlier, then maybe. However, I feel if Ruby were to have an endgame in romance, it would be RoseGarden (I have opinions on that as well, but today isn't the day to discuss that), mostly because Oscar bumped Jaune's role from male lead to male side. Not to mention that while Jaune is becoming a beast in his own right, Ruby is a different creature altogether and evolving her character more rapidly and chaotically than anyone else (Must be all that screentime).

TLDR: I want it to be canon, but I might just be hoping.

WHITE KNIGHT ( WEISS X JAUNE)

Doofus in tin foil meets princess who hates daddy (Am I in the romance section of the library? You know, the corner for adults only?) No, but I do like this ship. I'm always a sucker for the fantasy genre, and using a zero to hero male makes it relatable. I also kind of ship it because the same reason I ship NaruSaku in the Naruto fandom: he likes her and he's willing to go the distance. But enough about that; instead let's talk about canon. Will they hook up? It's a soft maybe for me, for two reasons. 1. Rosegarden is most likely to be endgame, and after Ruby and Pyrrha, I'd say Weiss is Jaune's next to be his love interest. 2. Weiss has warmed up to Jaune. Sure, not lover or crush level (Yet), but she's definitely changed her opinion on him. In Volume 1, Jaune was bugging her, like all the time, which I could see as him getting mixed signals on (Exhibit A: Tall, blonde, and scraggly). When Volume 5 came around, everyone jumped onboard because he saved her life (Don't lie, because I'll admit that I did it, too). Not the best reason, but still reason enough, I'd say. Then in Volume 7, she hangs out with him and Oscar to the movies (It was either that or awkward Bumbleby all night. I feel ya, sister). Nothing romantic happens, but it does show how much their relationship has developed. If Weiss is Jaune's endgame, then they have set the pieces up perfectly to do so.

TLDR: High likelihood to be canon and I'm a sucker for Knight/Princess ships.

KNIGHTSHADE ( BLAKE X JAUNE)

This is the part where I say definitely not. Not in a million years, but I'll explain why I like the ship, though. As for why it won't work, the answer is Bumbleby. They haven't kissed yet, but you know they're going to eventually (Because if they don't, the fans will attack like a swarm of hornets). But here's the question you might be asking now: why do I ship this? Well, it's part of the allure of "opposites attract" ('Cause I'm dressed like a cat!). Blake is an intelligent, outspoken, and agile ninja with a criminal history of terrorism who spends her free time reading novels. Jaune is a B at best on his tests, soft-hearted, and ground-based knight who's worst crime is fraud (Still a crime, but peanuts compared to literal terrorism) and spends his free time hanging out with his team. Day and night. But they also tried that with Sun for a season and a half and it didn't last (BECAUSE BEES).

TLDR: Not even a snowball's chance in the summer sun, but so much story potential if you do (Which I do)!

DRAGONSLAYER ( YANG X JAUNE )

This, I would say, is the opposite of Knightshade, where Jaune is the day and Blake is night, here Yang is the Sun and Jaune is the Moon (Like their crests! Remember those? Y'know, when they were relevant?) Will it work? Even less so than Knightshade. However, it does open up some interesting paths considering how... provocative Yang can be, and Jaune, compared to the other guys, is the nerdiest, geekiest dude at Beacon. It's like the cheerleader/nerd romance, except the cheerleader is the captain of every sports team... and rides a motorcycle. The Volume 8 preview introduced us to Yang and Jaune riding motorcycles and we went nuts over it. Yang was back in her element, roaring down the street, riding on walls, popping off tricks with Oscar riding- Back to what I was saying, people were asking, "How did he know how to ride a motorcycle?" and the elementary answer is "He didn't." He almost fell off his bike from a small box in the road. True, anyone would, but look at how he reacts: he stiffens, he refocuses on the road. This kid literally started riding at breakfast, and I DARE you to prove me wrong. But hey, great fic material right there, though, eh?

TLDR: Never gonna happen, but I don't care. All I care about is writing that they love each other. And they also fu-!

ARKOS ( PYRRHA X JAUNE )

I'm sorry, I need a moment. . . . Alright. Do it for her. This ship... was perfect. Probably the best ship out them all. I legit almost cry every time I think about Volume 3. Pyrrha was everyone's favorite. Her background, her interactions, her choreography, everything! But, of course, like everything in our lives, she was too good to be true. But let's honor her memory by talking about her ship, Arkos. Pyrrha was the champion of the world, the Brothers' and Oums' gift to Remnant. She could do no wrong and she HATED it. Her plight was with how she was seen. Everybody knew her! Everybody, except Jaune. And he only figured out she was "a big deal" was because Weiss had to spell it out for him! As time went on, they became the best of friends, two peas in a pod, the perfect odd couple! They worked together and trusted each other, they cared for and supported each other, they lo- No. No, I can't say it. It's been years, and it still hurts. So, I'll explain something else: the reason why Jaune SHOULD NOT be shipped right now. That reason is Pyrrha. Jaune was helpless to save her. He's suffering from survivor's guilt and he's still grieving. In Volume 4, he would sneak away and train until late at night to scroll recording of her. In Volume 5, he confronted Cinder and got Weiss almost killed because he let his grief for Pyrrha take control of him and let his emotions run wild. In Volume 6, he finds the Pyrrha statue and he... I don't know how to say this, but he let's go. He accepts that Pyrrha is gone and he's starting the healing process. He's finally ready to move forward.

TLDR: T.T I never felt that it was wise to wish too much~

MARTIAL ARCS ( REN X JAUNE)

I'll be honest, I don't really ship it. Yeah, it's cute, and it falls perfectly into the "if I had to pick a guy" part of me, but to be honest, I don't ship it. 10% because Renora and 90% it just doesn't click with me. They both just seem too soft, too quiet, too introverted. Best friends? Yes, definitely! But lovers? Eeeeeh, not really.

TLDR: I will only ship as neccessary.

NORA'S ARC ( NORA X JAUNE )

I've only just got in this deep with the fandom only recently, so I don't know if a lot of you know me. Heck, I'm probably just some RWBY fan you happen to spot as you move through your dash. However, old or new, I want to be made absolutely positively clear on this. Of all the ships here, this has got to be my-

O T FUDGIN' P

Wow! Never thought I'd feel so strongly about a crack ship like this. And yes, as sad it is to say, this is a crack ship. Renora was planned from day one, so it can't be helped. At least it didn't blast me in the face all of the sudden (OH NO, NOT THE BEES! AAAAARGH! THEY'RE IN MY EYES!). But why this ship? Well, for one thing, it's that whole opposites attract thing with Nora as the bubbly, outspoken, airhead powerhouse and Jaune as the soft spoken, introverted, nerd tactician. But wait, there's more to this trope, because it can go deeper: Order VS Chaos! Who makes all the messes? Who cleans up those messes? Who follows all the rules? Who makes their own doors? It's just. So. Damn! GOOD! One sad thing about this ship though is that it's not only not canon because of Renora, it's anti-canon because Renora. Every fan fic of Nora's Arc requires an explanation for Ren and Nora to not be together-together, like you have to write a formal apology to the FNDM for liking something that's different from what is canon or commonly accepted. If that's the case, then I'll be the anarchist here!

TLDR: I LOVE IT! What's that? Not canon? Who gives a damn?! I just explained why Jaune won't be shipped anyways! Now, if you'll excuse, I have some fan fics to find.

ARCFALL ( CINDER X JAUNE )

Oh, here it goes! Now, if we're talking ships that'll never happen, this is where we find better reasons than "it's not canon" and "character development". No, this... This is a declaration of war. Allow me to explain. Cinder Fall is evil. Like, down to her core. She wants power and she'll cut through anyone to get to it. Including Pyrrha. This woman sank Arkos by means other than "X and Y kissed, so..." She killed X, leaving Y alone. And her interactions with Jaune tell me she wouldn't even be worth a hate-bang. But, as Momma always, there's a thin line between love and hate. This is where the appeal comes in. Cinder is evil with no past, which leaves the previous chapter's of her life story blank to be filled in. Jaune is good with a troublesome, albeit easy past, but untapped potential for more. It's another opposites attract, but different from INTRO VS EXTRO and CHAOS VS ORDER; this is GOOD VS EVIL. Who will win this battle of wills; will our hero purify the tainted heart, or will he slip deeper into darkness, never to return to the light?

TLDR: Should be a NOTP, and yet the allure pulls me in.

What do y'all think? Do you agree? Let me know!

Finding Courage

Written for the Kidge Spring Event! 

Prompt 6: Edelweiss | Courage, Devotion

Summary: AU - Canon Divergence. Five years after the end of the war, Pidge finds herself wanting to go back out and see the universe with her own eyes. Luckily, she knows someone who can help with that, but only if she can find the courage to ask.

Also posted on AO3 under the username Kishirokitsune

❀ - ❀ - ❀ - ❀ - ❀

The time had come.

Pidge looked in the mirror as she ran her hands down the sides of her shirt, trying to smooth out the few wrinkles that had accumulated. She wanted to look nice, but not too nice. Lance and Hunk would notice if she was trying too hard and they would poke and prod until they were satisfied with the answer she gave, and that wasn't something she really wanted to deal with. (Shiro was likely to notice as well but at least he would be polite enough to keep it to himself.)  

Which was why she'd selected a pair of jeans, her signature green shirt (at least according to Lance), and her nicer lab coat that didn't have oil stains all over it. And while for most of their Team Voltron get-togethers she would forgo the lab coat for something nicer, she had plans to drop by the hangar where Project Lionheart was in the works to grab a few things from the lab she shared with Matt.

Text appeared at the bottom of her glasses.

Matt: I leave in 10 minutes if you want a ride.

Pidge pressed her finger to the right side of her frames. “Send message: I'll be down soon.”

Her new glasses were a labor of love that were nearly five years in the making. She'd spent countless nights trying to link it to her computer and then to get the voice recognition to work and then to devise a lightweight battery that would both hold a charge for a minimum of twelve hours while also having the capability of being wirelessly recharged. She'd wrangled Matt and Hunk into helping her, which sometimes involved 2 am conversations when she couldn't sleep because an idea wouldn't leave her alone, but she needed someone's brain to pick and see if she was crazy or on the right track.

She still had a hundred new ideas to try out for it, but for the moment it was the perfect way for her family to contact her when she was eyeballs deep in some new project. (Not to mention, it was also remarkably helpful in displaying measurements and any other schematics when she needed them.)

Pidge slung her bag containing her laptop over her shoulder and then headed downstairs to join Matt and tell her parents they were headed out.

Colleen pulled her in for a tight hug, her eyes glimmering with unshed tears. “I'm so proud of you!”

“Mom, I haven't even asked him yet,” Pidge complained, her voice muffled against her mom's shirt.

“Oh, please, like he's going to say 'no'?” Matt remarked from the doorway. He grinned at the glare his sister cast in his direction. “I'm just saying that I talk to Shiro a lot. And you know who else talks to Shiro? Keith does. Trust me, he'll be tripping over himself to agree to let you join him.”

Pidge rolled her eyes. The very idea of Keith being anything other than composed and unshakable by something she had to say was silly. Maybe it would have been different when they were younger and just starting out as Team Voltron, but not after all of their experiences during the war and throughout Reconstruction.

“You're all getting way ahead of yourselves,” Pidge said as she extricated herself from her mom's arms. “And making way too big of a deal out of this. All I'm doing is asking if I can go with him and help with the Outreach Program.”

With Kolivan serving as the interim Emperor of the Galra until he either stepped down or Reconstruction reached its ten-year mark, it had fallen on Krolia to lead the weakened, but not fully depleted, Blade of Marmora. She split the Blade into two separate but equal groups – one to continue their undercover work and root out any insurgents before they could cause too much trouble and the other a much more public branch dedicated to reaching out to affected planets and offering aid in whatever way they could.

Pidge, who felt like she was stagnating by staying on Earth and doing the same thing day in and day out, thought that going back out and seeing the universe with her own eyes was exactly what she needed. And sure, she could ask Hunk if she could tag along with his crew and he would gladly welcome her on board, but she wasn't sure she'd really find what she was looking for on a ship devoted to the culinary arts of the universe. Pidge had thought about it for a long time and, in the end, came to the conclusion that asking Keith was the way to go.

That was months ago and she'd seen him twice since then. She'd chickened out both of those times.

Because maybe she had a second motive for wanting to go with him. Something beyond wanting to explore the universe and even more of a... personal desire.

“Leaving already?” Sam asked, poking his head into the entrance hall.

Matt nodded. “Yeah, I have a few things to check on in the lab and Pidge wants to get to her meeting on time, so I figured we should head out.”

Pidge and Matt wrapped up their goodbyes and then set off to the Galaxy Garrison, where Matt dropped her off close to the Voltron Memorial before continuing on his way to the parking garage. Pidge watched him leave before she began making her way up the gleaming white stairs, which led to the top of a hill where a massive stone sculpture of Voltron stood watching over the land.

Normally the area was crawling with tourists, but once a year it was reserved for a group of 7 as they celebrated the day they first met.

As Pidge reached the top of the steps, she saw most of her friends were already there and seated at a round patio table. Shiro was smiling as he listened to whatever story Lance was enthusiastically telling, while Hunk leaned back and occasionally interjected.  Lance paused his story as she approached.

“You're on time!”

“Like you haven't been late a time or two,” Pidge shot defensively shot back. Seriously, she was late once or twice (or a lot) because she got wrapped up in something she was working for and the man would never let her forget it.

Lance grinned at her. “I was just telling Shiro and Hunk about the time you came out to visit the farm.”

“A memory I'd rather forget,” Pidge said with a wince. She sat down between Hunk and Shiro and gently set her bag down on the floor at her feet. “Where's everyone else? I figured Allura and Coran would have come with you, Lance.”

“Dropping the twins off with Romelle. She agreed to babysit,” Lance responded.

“Even after last time? Brave woman,” Hunk joked.

Pidge couldn't help but smile. The twins were Lance and Allura's 3-year-old children, Alfor and Maribel, and were a handful even for the most experienced and patient people. Romelle was practically a saint for being able to watch them on her own and Pidge wished she could know how she did it. (Maybe then she wouldn't end up covered in mud or running from bees or locked in the attic, all of which had happened during her first and last visit to the farm and was undoubtedly the story Lance was telling when she walked up.)

“You could have brought them along. I would love to see Alfor and Maribel again,” Shiro said.

Lance shook his head. “No, trust me. This is the better option. If we take our eyes off of them for even a second they'll have climbed to the top of the Voltron statue. Somehow. And good luck getting them down.”

Shiro made a sound to indicate his disbelief. “They're not that bad.”

“Yes, they are,” Lance and Pidge deadpanned in unison.

And honestly, they were sweet kids, but the amount of trouble they could get into was staggering and, in some ways, only reinforced Pidge's feelings that she never wanted to have any of her own.

Lance soon launched into a series of stories of the more interesting antics of the twins, which Allura and Coran backed up once they arrived. Pidge found herself laughing over some of the ones she hadn't heard before and because of that, she completely missed Keith's arrival via one very special cosmic wolf. He easily inserted himself into the conversation as he took a seat between Shiro and Coran – directly across from Pidge – and it was like he'd been there the whole time.

They soon branched off from stories about the twins so everyone could describe what they'd been up to since the last time all seven of them were together.

Lance and Allura, of course, had the kids and their farm on New Altea, which they ran with the help of Lance's family. In the beginning, Allura tried to split her time between them and trying to rule as Queen, but it eventually became too much and she turned to Coran for help, who suggested a council of trusted individuals to run the day-to-day duties that were necessary for the new planet to flourish. No one was surprised when he was elected Head Chancellor of the Council.

Even once things calmed down, Shiro retained his role as Captain of the Atlas, if only for the fact that he was the only one the ship responded to. The big, bulky ship didn't have much use outside of exploration and assisting with Reconstruction (sometimes by providing extra muscle for goods, sometimes just for transporting more sensitive or bulky materials), but Shiro spoke of his job and crew with pride. He even mentioned that he started seeing someone, though he wouldn't say who.

(“It's still new to both of us,” he said in response to Lance's begging. “We want to wait and see where things go before we start telling everyone.”)

Hunk had a myriad of new stories about all of the new recipes he created, as well as some of his worst failures. He had them all laughing so hard that it brought tears to their eyes at some of his descriptions. He then spoke of future plans and how he was looking to hire more chefs to help with the increased demand for their food before turning the conversation over to Keith.

“There isn't much to say,” Keith said with a shrug. “It's not like anything has changed since the last time we talked. You all know what I've been doing.”

“Are you really going to sit there and say that nothing interesting has happened to you? You're traveling with Zethrid and Ezor and yet you have no stories?” Lance asked incredulously. “Nope. I don't believe it.”

“You don't have to believe it, but it's true.”

Some things never change.

Pidge tried not to laugh as the two bickered. They only stopped because Shiro stepped in to put an end to it and then it was her turn to gloss over what she'd been working on. Project Lionheart was largely still a secret, though they'd be ready to announce its existence in a few months.

Hours bled together as the seven friends sat and talked and laughed together. Eventually, the sun began to set and Allura and Lance stood to say their goodbyes and go collect the twins from Romelle. Shiro followed soon after, giving the excuse that he had a “hot date” to get ready for, and then Coran and Hunk left together, talking about food supply and whether or not Hunk was willing to make a stop by New Altea during his next round trip.

That left Pidge with Keith.

Alone.

With no one else around to watch her make a fool of herself.

“Are you alright?” Keith asked.

Pidge jerked her head up to stare at him with wide eyes. “Y-yeah, of course! Why wouldn't I be? Everything's great!”

Keith raised an eyebrow. “You've been more quiet than usual.”

Pidge opened her mouth to protest and then immediately shut it. He wasn't wrong. She'd spent most of the afternoon trying not to blurt out her question in the middle of someone else talking and she was dying to get it over with. Finally, they were alone and it was the perfect chance, but everything she wanted to say had suddenly fled her mind.

It was ridiculous!

Keith was her friend!

Her rather handsome friend who she'd developed a large crush on, but her friend nevertheless. Talking to him was easy. She just needed to keep it simple.

“I was wondering... If I asked to go with you the next time you head out, what would you say?”

She watched as Keith sucked in a breath as her words registered in his mind, his eyes widening slightly, and then...

“I'd say that I'd be lucky to have you by my side. You're welcome to come along whenever you'd like.”

I got some more Lisanna fan takeovers

- Pelican: I am not too sure what to give for this takeover. My main idea is that she gains a huge, seemingly bottomless tote bag, and flight. She wears a beige mailman's outfit and has her hair tied into pigtails.

- Cheetah: She gains cheetah ears, and wears a cheetah print sports outfit, and running shoes. She gains super speed and claws in this form.

- Black-footed cat: She wears a simple black t-shirt and brown shorts that reach her mid-thighs in this form. Her cat ears form a gradient from the white of her hair to the colouration of the black-footed cat's. She gains extra speed, strong claws and an eeriely good aim (black-footed cats are the most effective hunters in the cat family).

Today, the plant is successfully cultivated on an industrial scale.

HOW TO GROW AMMI MAJUS There are two varieties of farm-grown Ammi majus - large and toothed. The plants are large, but not bulky. The openwork "airy" leaves accentuate the decorative nature of the inflorescence. Ammi majus is excellent for cutting and stays fresh for a week. Great on its own as a bouquet or as a backdrop for other flowers.

Ammi majus is completely undemanding, grows in any soil, and is not attacked by pests. Recommended for planting as an annual. The abundant fruit provides planting material for homeowners.

The fruits of the plant contain medicinal substances. Even ancient Egypt with their help tried to fight diseases such as vitiligo, psoriasis, erysipelas. Today, the cultivation of medicinal Ammi majus on a commercial scale is underway.

Medicines (pills, ointments) are produced by well-known pharmaceutical companies. However, self-medication with infusions and decoctions is fraught with serious problems. In fact, there are many contraindications and side effects.

Therefore, it is better to grow Ammi majus exclusively as decoration in gardens and balconies and enjoy the beauty of the plant.

CULTIVATION OF AMMI MAJUS Ammi medicines can be cultivated perfectly as a cultivated plant. It is very simple and unpretentious. However, there are some conditions to get good results.

So, the soil for growing Ammi majus should be black and clean, and weed-free. It can be planted on plots that have previously been planted with cereal crops, early vegetables, and medicinal plants: chamomile and poppy oil seeds.

Before planting, the soil should be prepared. 1. cleaning the residues of previous crops. 2. to plow. 3. to make plowing and harrowing.

All the above actions are combined with soil fertilization. Before deep plowing, it is necessary to apply the following nutrient mixtures on a per hectare basis. 1. ammonium sulfate: 2.5g. 2. superphosphate: 3.5g. 3. ammonium nitrate: 1.5g.

Before sowing in spring combine the introduction of potassium chloride (50 kg), superphosphate (300 kg), and ammonium nitrate (100 kg) per hectare of soil.

Then, for maximum effect, the sowing should be combined with the application of calcium superphosphate to the soil. This will improve the germination of seeds and increase the yield by up to 35% (seed harvest).

And in the cultivation of Ammi majus, the last application of fertilizer is made at the vegetative stage when the seedlings form about six leaves. At this stage, ammonium nitrate is applied. However, an important condition for fertilization is soil moisture, which must be at least 20%. If, for example, it is impossible to irrigate the site and it has not rained for a long time, but it is better not to do ammonium nitrate.

Ammi majus can be sown with both spring and winter under the ground. It should be noted that it is better to carry out spring planting. To improve the germination of seeds, they are stratified for three months. The seeds are then dried and sieved. Another preparation step is to soak the seeds in water for one day before sowing. Floating sowing is not suitable.

Ammi majus is sown with a disk seeder to a depth of 1inch (2 cm). The sowing rate was 5 kg for a one-hectare plot. Under favorable weather conditions, the first shoots appear after two weeks.

Fall sowing requires increasing the seeding rate to 6 kg and reducing the burial depth to 0.6inch (1.5 cm). Otherwise, the planting technique is the same.

Ammi majus is planted on cultivated land and requires certain human actions to take care of the crop.

The main task is loosening the soil and timely removal of weeds. For this purpose, it is necessary to carry out inter-row clearance of weeds with a special cultivator. During the whole period of formation of the ground part, as a rule, three to four cultivations are carried out.

Weeds in the rows are removed by hand. This work should be done at least twice and should be combined with thinning work. If the seedlings are too thick, the yield will be significantly reduced. The first weeding is done to thin the shoots when Ammi majus is still small and has two leaves.

The seeds are used for medicinal purposes. Therefore, a large collection of this material is grown on an industrial scale Ammi majus large.

The seeds are harvested when the percentage of maturity exceeds sixty percent. This is done mechanically, with the help of a combined harvester specially equipped for this purpose. The harvested crop is dried and cleaned.

The yield of this medicinal plant is not very high, with an average of about ten hundred pounds of seeds per hectare. The storage and use period of the medicinal herb depends on the storage conditions and is 3-10 years.

THE FIRST STEP AFTER PURCHASING SEEDS Ammi majus is grown from seeds. They remain germinating for 3-4 years, which should be noted at the time of purchase.

In areas with relatively warm winters, it is recommended to sow seeds under winter. In areas with more severe climatic conditions, spring sowing is done. The optimum soil temperature is 43-46°F (6-8°C). Seedlings emerge in 1.5 to 2 weeks. Seedlings grow unhurriedly at first. But after the tillering stage, they actively increase in height and width.

To advance the flowering time helps to raise seedlings in February-March. It is advisable to stratify seeds for a month. Bury them in the nutrient substrate 0.8inch (2 cm), moisten the soil and cover it with glass or polyethylene.

Place the container in a warm place until sprouts appear. Sprouts need plenty of light, but the night air temperature should not exceed 53-59°F (12-15°C). Otherwise, seedlings will stretch disproportionately.

Seedlings can be moved to designated locations by the end of May. Given the fragility of the root system, great care should be taken when transplanting so as not to damage the ground nodules.

RECIPE FOR SUCCESS Ammi majus grows well in full sun and semi-shade. Any garden soil is suitable, just take care of a good and reliable drainage layer.

In case of open sowing, it is recommended to add organic fertilizer to the soil beforehand. The seedlings are planted with two applications of complex mineral fertilizer.

Ammi majus is drought tolerant but needs regular and moderate watering in the early stages of growth and in hot weather. Temperature and water characteristics are not important.

The plants respond thankfully to weeding and loosening of the soil.

POSSIBLE DIFFICULTIES Ammi majus suffers from waterlogging in the soil. The root system rots rapidly and the plant dies. Lowland areas are considered unsuitable for maintaining representatives of this flora. The soil is watered only after it has dried out.

In the absence of light, the stems increase in height and density, but flowering becomes sparse. There is a possibility of not producing fruits. High air humidity during flowering will have the same effect.

Ammi majus are tall plants with many branches. If they do not have enough space, they will become smaller and weaker.

CARE AND HARVESTING Ammi majus crop care includes systematic loosening of the soil between the rows and the plants do not receive compaction. As two true leaves appear on the shoots, they are thinned out. During drought, at the beginning of cultivation - watering every 2-3 days. During flowering, watering is reduced.

Harvesting of Ammi majus takes place during the period of massive seed maturity when most of the umbels curl and the stems turn yellowish. After harvesting, Ammi majus fruits are dried and peeled.
