⛏️ I work 12hrs 7 days, week on/week off, meaning I will completely vanish 50% of the time and there's nothing I can do about it
🦘 I'm also an Aussie, so my time zone is weird even when I'm not at work (So if I don't reply, im not ignoring u! ;v;-b )
❔️Asks and Anons are turned on! Please read the FAQ below before asking to avoid repeats c:
😻 I read all the tags and replies even if I don't reply. Tysm everyone saying nice things, it makes my day ;v;
😵‍💫 My focus changes like the weather lately, so while I'm Hoping I'll be able to keep this up, please don't get Life Or Death Invested c':
Tags
#mammothmoon -all chapters are tagged with this
#moon (1/2/3/etc) -each moon is tagged by number, and in-character asks from given moons

FAQ
This will be added to as I get more asks and replies to go off!
How often do you post pages?
I try for at least once every 2 weeks, as I spend 50% of my life in the outback with no ability to draw!
Where/ when is Mammothclan set?
In late pleistocene North America, around 12ka ago, during the Younger Dryas!
What species are the cats?
They're Homotherium serum, a scimitar toothed cat.
How paleo accurate is this setting?
Relatively accurate? There's not going to be any species out of their time and place, but I'm not super bothered by, say, exact plant species and how realistic certain story aspects are.
Can I ask the characters' questions?
You can, but I can't promise to answer all of them!
Are we allowed to include characters as cameos/ draw fanart?
Yes definitely absolutely!!!!
You are also welcome to change them to regular cats if that fits better cx (please don't humanise them though, I find that specifically very uncanny)
What mode are you playing on Clangen/ what toggles?
Expanded mode, mass extinctions on, cheating on, "pregnancy ignores biology" off, unknown second parent pregnancies off (bc in my trial run every queen was constantly spawning kittens at lightspeed, no ty)
How far ahead are you from the pages you've drawn?
Currently 40moons ahead, cause I like playing the long game with foreshadowing >:3c
Where do you download Clangen?
Here!
Could you elaborate on/ explain content of (page/panel/speech bubble) that confused me?
Sure! If something is unclear, but it seems like it should be explained, please ask and I'll make sure to clarify c:
Can you tell me about (character backstory/spoilers/ aspect of lore not touched on in comic yet)?
No! I don't want to spoil those kinds of things, I'd rather they come up naturally in the comic than dump them under an ask.
I'm a firm believer that if it doesn't happen in text, it's not cannon.

Dad Beat Dad P2
(3rd POV)
*With the tour*
"So, once we have proof that redemption is possible, this whole hotel will be full of demons wanting to check out into Heaven. We just need a little more time to prove it." Charlie rambled to her father, "The sharing circles haven't been working as fast as I hoped..." 
" 'Ey, Boss? Can I have a word?" Husk whispered to Alastor. The Radio Demon watched as the tour continued, before turning to the cat demon with a raised eyebrow. "What is it?" He asked, turning the radio effect off on his voice. 
"You and I both know Mimzy only shows up when she needs somethin'." Husk's wings ruffled slightly showing his irritation. "That bitch is trouble, and who knows what kinda demon she fucked with to come running to you this time?"
"It's nothing I can't handle. Don't worry, Husker. Who in their right mind would cross me?" Alastor said smugly. "I mean...you've been gone a while and it's not like anybody knows why." Husk raised an eyebrow.  "They don't need to know. And don't worry your fuzzy little head about it." mocked Alastor as he rubbed one of Husk's ears. 
The cat demon shoved his hand away, and growled, "You may own my soul, but I ain't your fucking pet!"  "Hmhm! But you are! Haha!" Alastor giggled, walking away. 
"Big talk for someone who's also on a leash/" muttered the bartender.  Static filled the hallway as the lights flickered, Alastor stopping in his walk before side eyeing Husk. "Aha, what did you say?" he demanded, eyes now radio dials. 
"Oh, fuck!" groaned Husk as a green chain formed around his neck before pulling him to the ground. "Nothing, I um--" Alastor pulled on the chain, making the cat choke. "If you ever say that again," the deer started, playing with the chain in his hands, "I will tear your soul apart and broadcast your screams," He briefly grew to a bigger size, towering over Husk, "For every other disrespectful wretch who dares to question me."
"Understood." Husk muttered, trembling in fear. "Lovely. Good talk, my good man. Always nice to catch up." Alastor chuckled, jaunty music playing. 
*Back with the tour again*
"And we've almost been able to find all of Angel's drug stashes." Vaggie looked to the side as she added, "Almost." The three had now made their way to one of the balconies, to talk more privately. Vaggie leaned against the railing as Charlie took over. 
"Soo, once that's out of the way, it should be much smoother sailing." Charlie chimed in. "Well, that certainly is, uh...is-is something." Lucifer commented. 
"So..What do you think?" the princess asked hopefully. "About what?" The king asked lazily.
"The hotel." Charlie replied, slightly desperate. 
"Oh yes, it does....it does look much better now, doesn't it?" Lucifer sweatdropped nervously, looking for an excuse, before messing with the railing in front of him. "Ya know, but I'm thinking this railing needs work, one good push and you'd just go right over the edge. Whoopie, bye-bye." 
Charlie blinked at her father's weirdness. "What? No, no, the plan, Dad!" 
The princess was so frustrated, she didn't seen the forlorn look on her father's face. "What do you think about using the hotel to help sinners?" she asked. 
"Ahh..." he sighed before turning to look Charlie in the face. "Alright, I mean, look, I love that you want to see the best in people, but these sinners..." He made a face, "You know, they're just the worst. I-I don't know how much you can realistically expect from them in Heaven. Hohoo boy, Heaven is not exactly carefree as you might think." The king draped himself over the railing at the thought of his old home, before standing straight. 
"Yeah, they have rules. Lots of rules. And they aren't very open minded as you'd hope." 
Vaggie looked away, as Charlie tried again, "These are our people, Dad. I...I have to try." 
" 'Our people, Charlie, are awful! They got gifted free will and look what they did with it! Everything's terrible." exclaimed Lucifer, gesturing towards the city. "I just don't want you to put yourself on the line for people like---"
A loud thud shook the hotel, making the three grip onto the railings.  "Geez! What now?" Vaggie groaned. "Well, like that." Lucifer gestured to the shark demon gang outside the hotel, holding a battering ram.
"Mimzy! We know you're in there you lousy bitch." 
*In the main foyer*
"Oh shit." whimpered Mimzy, ignoring the looks (Y/N) and Angel sent her. Lucifer opened a portal, allowing him and the women to run down quickly. 
"Que carajo?!" cursed Vaggie, the royals running out of the portal after her. "What's going on?" Charlie questioned.
"I maaaaaaay be in trouble with some loan shark's, I may or may not have borrowed fifty grand from--eep!" The flapped squeaked and hid behind the bar, before peeking out and flinching at the looks she was getting. "You better come out!" called one of the sharks. 
"And I may have also stolen a car..and crashed it...into the loan shark's girlfriend. But that bitch had it coming!" She growled, just as fireballs were thrown into the hotel breaking the windows, much to Niffty's horror. 
"My windows!" she shrieked.  "Ah! We're under seige! Ah! Take cover!" cried Pentious. "Look out!" Vaggie cried, dodging another. "What the fuck?!" Angel yelled, picking Niffty up from being hit. 
(Y/N) growled and used his wings fly up to the windows before using his magic to close the them before grunting when a spear was thrown at him, slicing his cheek. "Fuck!" He hissed before flying outside, hands glowing with magic. "That was a lucky shot, bitch! Now I'm going to fuck you up!" He laughed manically.
Charlie looked at her father as he smirked, "Ya see, this is exaaaactly what I'm talking about Charlie. You build something nice, you invite people in and offer them everything, and they just bring violence and chaos to your doorstep. It doesn't matter how well intentioned  you are, they're always going to disappoint you." 
Niffty giggled as she scooped up glass before being picked up by Pentious, "Niffty, come along!" "All of you, get a safe distance!" Vaggie called, angelic spear in her hand.  "I'll take care of this." she raised her spear, ready to join the manically laughing prince. 
"No, my dear, leave it to me. It's time I remind everyone why I am here." Alastor grinned, radio dials for eyes and a dangerous tone in his voice. 
"Oh, finally! Took ya long enought!" Mimzy snapped from behind the bar. "A reminder to all," Alastor called, the hotel glowing green, as tentacles came out from his back. "Not to mess with the Radio Demon!" his evil laugh echoed in the air as he climbed out of the hotel in his demon form.
His tentacles started to kill the shark demons, making (Y/N) grin. "Yes! Let's fuck shit up, Alastor!" He cackled, drawing his angelic sword before flying down to continue his attack. "I will devour each and every one of you!" Alastor exclaimed, gladly catching and eating a demon that the prince had thrown his way. 
*Back with Charlie*
"Mhm, ya see?" Lucifer hummed, wincing at his son's sadistic side. "What I tell ya? Charlie, sinners are violent psychopaths, hell bent on causing as much pain and destruction as they can. There's really no point in trying." he chuckled before the princess snapped. 
"Dad, stop! They're defending this hotel! It may be a little more.....sadistic than I'd hope." Charlie cringed at the two demon's actions. "But they're doing it for me! How come they can have faith in me, but my own father can't?" She sobbed, making Lucifer look down. 
"Ooh, drama." Angel grinned, taking some popcorn from behind the table, Husk taking some as well.
*Outside*
"Oh, I missed getting to let off steam." Alastor shrunk to his normal size, smiling as (Y/N) landed next to him, putting his sword away, and snapped his fingers and he was all cleaned up,and the cut on his cheek as now healed. "Huh, we'll have to team up more often, Alastor." "Indeed, prince (Y/N)."
(Y/N)'s smile dropped as Mimzy came out. "Oh Alastor! Princey! What a fantastic show! Bravo!" Mimzy clapped her hands, posing. "Thanks for helpin' lil' old me outta a tough spit, you're always such a pal." She flinched as rumble fell nearby. 
"Oops." She shrugged, as (Y/N) crossed his arms, glare on his face. "Heheheh, sorry about the mess. But I'm sure the lil' bug can take care of it for ya." "I think you should go Mimzy. Now." Alastor demanded. 
"Oh, pfft, Alastor, you're such a kidder you! Haha, you are so funny. " laughed the flapper demoness.
"I mean it. You deliberately brought danger to this place just to have me clean up your mess." The deer glared at Mimzy, "I can't have that here."
"But you love takin' care a' me! What? You don't actually give a shit about this tacky place, do ya? Come on. I know you. You heartless son of a bitch." Mimzy giggled, poking Alastor's chest. 
"Okay, I had enough." (Y/N) interrupted, hands on his hips, "You can stay here if you want to actually try and redeem yourself, but we can all see that's not you aren't willing to change your ways, so get out of here." The prince stood at his full height, glaring down at the demoness. 
Mimzy looked curiously at Alastor, waiting for him to deny what the prince was saying. 
Alastor merely blinked. "Fine! Who needs ya? Have fun with ya lil' royals and ya lil' hotel. See if I care." Mimzy flicked the men off before leaving. 
"Ugh, finally. Thought that bitch would never leave." (Y/N) rolled his eyes before turning to walk over to the damaged hotel entrance, watching his father and sister with a thoughtful look. 
"This is getting really good." Angel smirked, as he and Husk continued to smack on popcorn, Pentious rolling his eyes at the two.
"Dad..just..help me." pleaded Charlie. 
"I...I can't." the king replied, facing away from her. 
"Why can't you?" pressed the blond princess.
(Y/N) smiled softly from where he and Vaggie were standing near the door as his father and sister finally talked about their feelings.
"Okay," Lucifer relented, "I can get you the meeting, but once you're in Heaven, I won't be able to go with you. Will you be okay?" He asked, looking into Charlie's eyes, waiting for her to answer. "I'll be fine." She promised. 
"That's my girl."
Lucifer held a hand out for (Y/N) to come and join them. The prince took his hand and smiled when the King cupped his son's cheek, looking at Angel briefly before turning to his son's mismatched eyes. 
"Eisai eftychismenos gie mou (Are you happy, son?)"  He asked. "Eimai, bampa. Me kanei...pio dynato. (I am, Dad. He makes me...stronger.) Ton agapo. (I love him.)" (Y/N) replied softly, pushing against his father's hand,just like he did when he was a little boy. Lucifer's eyes widen slightly before he smiled softly, "Kalos. (Good)." 
He took a step back, smiling proudly at his children. "Good luck, kiddos." With that, he teleported away. 
(Y/N) wiped a tear away, smiling up at Angel Dust as he came over and pulled the prince into his side, with a soft smile.
"This next part is going to be scary..." Vaggie sighed, rubbing a hand over her neck as she approached Charlie. "Are you ready?" 
"I am ready." Charlie pulled her girlfriend into a hug. " 'Cause you and (Y/N) will be with me." "In spirit, right?" Vaggie asked, still hugging the princess. 
"In Heaven." confirmed Charlie confidently.  "Yay!" Vaggie replied dryly.
*With (Y/N)*
The prince and the spider were hanging on (Y/N)'s balcony, each sitting in their respective spots, (Y/N) playing with his magic in his hands. 
*Timeskip*
The couple was sitting on top of one of the highest buildings in Pride ring, holding each other as they watched the lights below. "Mia cara...." (Y/N) started, fidgeting slightly with Angel's fingers. Angel hummed in acknowledgment, running a hand through (Y/N)'s hair. 
"We've been together for a while, a-and w-well, I um..uhh..." Angel looked down at the prince questioningly as he stuttered. 
"It's okay, amore. Take ya time." He soothed, (Y/N) sighing softly before reaching into his pocket and pulling out a tiny box.
Angel looked at the box in confusion. "Bambino..." 
"I-I know it's too early to get married, but this love that we share, I haven't felt since Archer," (Y/N) continued to play with the spider's fingers, ignoring Angel's soft gasp at the mention of his last lover. 
"This is a engagement ring, and I will wait for you. And I want to protect you, and keep you smiling because you are such a beautiful soul who deserves everything and I--" Angel pressed a kiss to the rambling prince's lips. "I will happily marry you." He whispered, holding (Y/N) close as their foreheads pressed together. "Whenever you are ready, amore mio." Angel chuckled to himself at the flustered look on (Y/N)'s face, before kissing the blond demon, turning it into a heavy make out session.
"Angel..." moaned (Y/N), gripping onto the spider's shoulders. "Mm, let's go to your room, and let me make those wings flap." Angel giggled.
*End!*
Tbh, I'm not too sure about this chapter, might do a rewrite. Let me know your thoughts!

“You don’t get it do you” Valentine’s Day special
Tumblr media
College au❤️Jeno x Reader
|| 🧸Basically, you’re trying to help jeno find a fake girlfriend to invite to his parents dinner next week. He’s been telling them that he has a girlfriend and they decide that they want to meet her on Valentine’s Day. Sounds cute right? But he does have a girlfriend, so you make it your mission to save his dignity. But for some reason he’s being really picky with his decision. Your not sure why?
“She literally perfect for you”
“But She’s not you”
Authors note🎈: HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!! I’m not completely proud of this as a whole, BUT if I add the fact that I only had like a day and a half to do it, it’s not that bad. There so no smut in this, BUT!!! As you know. You can’t just ask 😏. I’m hoping to maybe do something like this for some other members so if you are hoping for a specific member let me know!
Tumblr media
[9:32] February 12th
“She’s also a no” jeno says from next to you on his couch. You slouch even more into his chest. “Jeno- this is the 5th girl I showed you. You didn’t even read the profile yet!” You complain.
You and Jeno are currently sitting in his living room looking through [app] profiles of women that had reached out to you. You got together after your run, and he had just got home from practice. You took a shower and told him about your plan to help him find a date for Tuesday. You had gotten closer to him so you can both see your phone screen clearly, and he ended up pulling you into him. Your back pressed against his chest. This would usually look weird to anyone else, considering you two are just friends, it’s natural between you two. It’s normal. Not weird. Not intimate.
“My parents know I wouldn’t date someone with that hair colour” he explains, shrugging it off. His arm that’s around you moves to swipe to the next profile. You slap his hand away and go back. “No no no, she could wear a wig or dye her hair or something” you continue to the profile and looked at the description. It was quiet short. It read:
[hi! I’m Eunchan! Im 22 years old, my birthday is august 4th, 2000. And I love to work out (do yoga) and I work as a creative writer]
You read the profile out loud, and you can feel Jeno shaking his head. “Jeno-“ you begin.
“Yoga? Absolutely not, yoga isn’t working out, it’s expensive stretching” you giggle and roll your eyes. “Jeno, just get her to tell your parents that she lifts weights or something.” You bring your knees up to your chest to make room for his cat as she lays at his feet. he takes a moment to think. “No, I have to get her to wear a wig AND lie to my parents? They would be able to tell she doesn’t lift weights by her build.” You sit up to look at him.
“You are being ridiculo-“
“-realistic” he interrupts and you scoff. You get up from the couch and walk toward the kitchen. “Where are you going!?” He gets up to follow you like a lost puppy. “If we are going to do this all night I’m going to need a drink.” You answer grabbing a glass- two glasses from the cabinet and he looks for some wine. You could faintly hear the kdrama he played from kitchen while he pour the drinks. You lean into the counter and continue looking.
“Oh here! Listen!”
“[hello, my name is minchi-“
“Hello? Who says hello?”
“Jeno shut up and listen..
[hello, my name is minchi, I’m 21 years old. My favorite colour is blue, my favorite smell is mint and I love Naruto]” you look up at him in anticipation. He loves all those things-
“That sounds like a child’s profile, she can’t even describe herself or hobbies proper-“
“Ughhh” you slouch into the counter. Grabbing the glass of wine her poured and took a long sip. He watch you with a smile. “Jeno, the point of finding you a ‘fake girlfriend’ is that it’s not real! It’s one night and she can be anything you want her to be” you explain, making your way back to the couch. Stopping to let another cat walk past you. This is their palace after all. Then take a seat at the sofa. “No they can’t” he mumbles. “Huh?” You look over at him, he’s making his way to you again. “Nothing, but my parent will be able to sniff out a liar, and I don’t want to take my chances with someone who can’t even tell people what she does for a living.” He sits next to you and places his wine on a coster.
You nod in understanding, this must be really important to him, especially since he’s being so picky. “I have an idea!” You turn to him and he gives you his full attention. “How about we pick a couple of girls, and then you can try going on a date with them. Just to see how they can act in person” he looks at you. It almost looks as if he’s examining your features but you shrug it of. “Please? Come on, this is the best way to find out how they can talk with your parents!” You fold your hands together and give him your best puppy eyes. You can’t help but love playing match maker, even if somewhere deep down you feel an unsettling gush of sadness. You push it aside.
He continues to look at you for another moment. And you swear you saw his eyes flicker to your lips once or twice. “Fine. I’ll do it- if your there with me” he leans back at takes his phone out. “What? Why? It would really be considered a date if I’m there” he looks up from his phone to glance at you. “It’s not supposed to be a date, it’s supposed to be an interview” you deadpan at him. “You really are ridiculous” you then pull your phone back up to look through more profiles with him.
•••
It’s currently [1:47] in the morning and you and jeno had ended up in the same position you started in. Except this time you cuddle closer into him and he pulls you as close as possible; complaining that “it’s cold”.
“Ok here, we can add this one too. It says [hi, I’m Hyebin! I work as an interior designer, I love bike rides and jogging. My favorite season is autumn, I also love watching anime and cars, I have a terrible sense of direction and I’m allergic to ca….ts]” your voice was sleepily and almost at a hum. It was music to jeno’s ears. Your head pressed to his chest and your hair smells like rain wood, probably your shampoo.
“What! No, how can you be allergic to cats?”
You laugh at his reaction. “Jen… your allergic to cat, besides, Shes never going to meet your cats, it’ll be fine- you two have everything else in common. I’m adding her” you add the profile and shoot her a text about meeting up tomorrow afternoon for an ‘date’. He didn’t like that you kept calling it that, but he wouldn’t say anything. It began to get quiet. The faint sound of rain hitting the glass. The dimly lit room and the air conditioning was blasting for some reason. The mood felt so cozy and his heart began to race- along with yours.
When you send the text you put your phone down and wiggle to get comfortable under the Blanket he has you two wrapped up in. “You tired?” He asks warping an arm around your frame. “Mm no” you’re already dosing off and he chuckles lightly. “All these girls seem perfect Jen.” You add.
He loved when you’d call him that. It felt so intimate to him. But it wasn’t, it was normal between best friends. Normal. Not weird.
“I don’t like her” he argues, closing his eyes. You can feel him trying to match his breathing with yours. You continue to lull yourself to sleep as jeno begins to rub your back. “She’s literally perfect for you” you whisper. You’re basically asleep now. You mouth open and your body limp, all you weight was on him and he loved it. He loved the feeling you you against him. He loved that fact that you feel safe enough to fall asleep in his arms.
He loved…
You.
“But she’s not you” he replied. He knew you couldn’t hear him, to far gone in sleep to register his words. But he felt a load of weight and worry leave his body when he voiced those words.
They aren’t you.
•••
[6:36pm] February 13th
The next day you met up with Jeno at modern cafe. When you walked through the door your eyes immediately find him. He’s dressed in a buttoned up shirt and slacks. It wasn’t unusual for him to dress like this, but you noticed his hair was given more attention then what your used to. You slide into the booth across from him.
Jeno looked up from his phone to see you smiling at him. Your cheek bones lift and your eyes squint. He can’t help but do the same. “You look nice” he compliments and you smile wider. “Me? Your the one you did your hair all.. fancy” you laugh when he reaches to touch the strains that fall in front if his face.
“Okay! So I’ll be at the table over there..” you begin. “So you know where I am if you need anything. Eunchan is the first to come, she should be here in like five minutes” you show him the texts between you and the other girl he couldn’t care less about. “No, no stay at the booth with me. This isn’t a date remember? It’s just an-“
“-Interview I know, but it’s between you and her. This has nothing to do with me”
It has EVERYTHING to do with you actually.
“I’ll leave…” he threatens, his arms crossing over his chest, and you can see his sleeve stretching to accommodate his arms. “You are such a child! Why can’t you have a 30 minute conversation alone with a women?”
You cross your arms to mimic him, but it only pushes your chest up. And he smirks at you. “If that women is you or my mom, yes. But other then that.. absolutely not” he shakes his head. You narrow your eyes at him, foot taping at the floor as you think. “Fine.” Your tone was sharp. And he can tell your getting frustrated.
How have you not put it together yet!?
[6:58pm]
You quickly slide out of the both and next to him. He watches you move and smiles and you slouch next to him. He absentmindedly leans into you. “You smell good”
It was a simple comment, but it had your heart skipping multiple beats. You clear your throat and sit up. “Thank you… your cologne smells good too…” you don’t look at him, but his eyes are on you. “Just my cologne? Not me?” He chuckles, but when he realizes your eyes are not on his, he followed your line of sight. you nudge him in the arm and squeal. “She’s here! Okay okay, relax!” You take two deep breaths as a beautiful women makes her way towards the table you and Jeno both sit up.
“Hi! You must be Y/n?” She sits down. Her hair was long and light, almost a orange colour, but it looked natural. She was gorgeous, her makeup simple and done to perfection. She sat with confidence and her earrings dangled when she moves her head, you admire her as she greets jeno, missing the words they exchange. She’s so beautiful, prettier then you; you thought. “Hi! Yes I’m y/n and this is Jeno” you gesture toward Gina ms he smiles to her. You can tell she finds him very attractive, and how could you blame her?
“So, I hear your looking for a “girlfriend” for a dinner with your parents?” She asks looking to Jeno. He looks at you then back to her. “Yes, I’m trying to find someone before tomorrow night”
“Valentines day?”
“Yes”
You watch them talk for a couple minutes. The feeling you had been stuffing down seemed to be overflowing.
She is literally perfect. They would look so perfect together. They might even end up getting together for real after the dinner. His parents would probably love her. And Jeno would probably come to you for advice with her all the time. And even if it killed you, you would give it to him because you love him. And if they ever got married- you would be there to cheer him on even if the sight of him placing a ring on another woman would literally kill you. Your best friend Jeno would always talk about how he found the ‘love of his life’ through fake dating. It would be a cute story to tell at parties or celebrations.
The thought of him spending his life with another women made the best of your neck hot. And your head hurt thinking about how he would be an Amazing dad…
Why do you even care!?
Why would him being with another person hurt YOU!? Your his best friend nothing more- But why do you wish it was you sitting across from him? Why do you wish it was you he wanted to bring to meet his parents? Or wishing you could be the one he would put a ring on?
Oh…
Oh
You’ve truly been avoiding it, because you didn’t want to face how he makes you feel… but here you are. Lost in thought- bathing in in your feelings. They’ve always been there, but now they are downing you.
You want him.
Like really want him.
Realizing that your not just attracted to him, but you can truly see a future with him.
Him.
Jeno.
Your best friend jeno…
You find yourself fidgeting with your rings while they talk, your brain feels foggy and you can’t bring yourself to look up. You tried to pay attention but your mind would just build with thought of them being together and you felt as if you would throw up.
But you have done it. You have realized that you love Jeno… now what? What do you do now? Say something? Confront him? Be honest?
“….Well this was fun anyway. I’m glad I had the chance to talk to you. And I wish you good luck with your parents” you lift your head to see the different, darker haired women make her way out of the cafe. You then turn to jeno, who’s looking at you. “What the hell happened I spaced out for two minutes!?”
Actually it’s been almost an hour; he thought,
Fifthy three minutes of you spacing out. Something was definitely wrong. he began to worry when he nudged your foot mid conversation, but you didn’t even flinch. Decided he should end it quickly with Hyebin, giving the second women a random excuse as to why she wouldn’t fit.
“She said she was a terrible lair, can’t have her revealing info, ya’know?” he shrugged and slouched down in his seat. “We should order food” he adds before you can scold him. Hoping food will fix whatever headspace your in right now.
You would never say this out loud, but your glad she’s gone. Her presence made you want to jump out if the nearest window and run home- never to be seen again. “Jeno…” he places down the menu to look at you. “Hm?” You finally turn to him. “Why are you being so difficult? Why won’t you pick a girl? It’s so simple, but you seem to care a lot about it” you ask genuinely. He thinks for a moment and you wait patiently.
“I don’t want just anyone meeting my parents. They mean a lot to me, and I don’t need a random women meeting them” he explains, while continuing to look through the menu. “Oh” you nod. Not wanting to ask him too many questions.
You can’t seem to focus on anything. Not when the only thing going through your mind is Jeno.
‘Jeno’
“Yes?” You turn to him when he responds to what you thought… were your thoughts.
What?
“What?”
“You said my name?” He leans in questionably, trying to find your eyes, but you refuse to look at him. “I did?” You turn away from him, grabbing a menu form the table to act like your looking for food.
“You did… are you feeling okay?” He continues to move his head in Front of yours; so you’ll look at him. When you finally do, your heart stops. He is so handsome so beautiful- no, breathtaking. His eyebrows pinch together, you can tell he’s worried. You don’t want him to be worried about you, not right now. “Yes I’m… No actually I’m not feeling well and I should probably get going. You seem to be doing well without me anyway” You place the menu down on the glossy wooden table in front of you and begin to get up.
You stop when Jeno’s hand wraps around you forearm. “Wait, do you want me to come with you? Is it your stomach? I can make you some ramen” He looks desperate and worried. So you put on your best ‘I’m fine’ face and tug your hand away. Your skin felt tingly where he had touched you, and the thought of him making physical contact with you again gave you butterflies. And you can’t think straight. “Nope, I’ll be fine. Your next runner up should be here in like 15 minutes? She’ll text you” his jaw tightened and his brows knitted.
“I don’t want to do this without you” he grabs at your wrist this time. The tension slowly raising with each respons.
What the heck is going on with you?
“Why? What changes whether I’m here or not?” You try to laugh but you can’t. So you just fake a smile. “Y/n please, don’t go. Your hiding something, I’m not stupid” his voice seemed more stern this time. “I’m fine. Text me after- and let me know how it goes” you smile once more before running of.
“Y/n-“
Jeno won’t chase you. He knows he can’t get you to stay and he wouldn’t want to force you, but it doesn’t stop him from trying to call out for you anyway.
[7:46pm]
•••
When you opened the door to your dorm your faced with your roommate Harim and her boyfriend jaemin. They were watching tv on the couch and you smiled to them before turning to your room.
“You okay y/n?”
Harim, is a nice roommate, really! But sometimes she can be a bit nosey. Not it a bad way, she just wants to know how I’m doing. She’s very empathic or whatever. So when she asked that question; you were scared to answer.
“I’m all good, just a little overwhelmed… need to be alone with my thoughts” you wave too her and jaemin. He gives you a look before smiling back. “Okay! If you need anything we are here”
You close the door to the bathroom and turn on the faucet. Then you lean against the counter to examine yourself in the mirror.
This is ridiculous…. Why is this such a big deal to you? The feelings have always been there… but now your freaking out like a child because you decided to address them!? You feel so stupid.
Telling him could possibly ruin Everything. That’s what everyone always says in movies… but now you truly understand the feeling.
‘Fuck this is so stupid.’ You thought.
When you finally leave your room, after what felt like hours of you contemplating on whether or not you should tell jeno the truth; you walk into an empty living room. Your roommate and Jaemin must have left. So you find yourself on the couch to relax and watch tv. Searching through shows that don’t involve the main character falling in love with her best friend. You end up watching some cheesy old chick flick that you’ve never seen before. You feel your phone buzz, the vibration affecting the rest of the couch. It was jeno, you pick up the phone and open the text.
You didn’t even realize how late it was again. [12:13] have you really been doing absolutely nothing for almost 6 hours!?
Man child
_____________________________________________
|| Man child -
Hey, interviews are over
|| Man child -
lm omw. I got takeout
- You ||
Alright!
_____________________________________________
You sit up and look around the living room. You’ve never cared wether or not it was clean before he came over before… so why now?
You spring to your feet and begin picking up plates and some cups to put them in the sink. Busying yourself with cleaning the dorm when you hear a pin being entered into your front door and the sound of the handle clicking. “Y/n?”
“In the kitchen!” You yell out to him while place the last cup on the drying rack. You can smell the food before you even see the bag. When jeno spears from behind the corner you shoot him a smile. He grins at you then places the food on the table. He’s wearing sweatpants and a hoodie now. But he looked just as good as he did at the cafe. “Are you feeling better?” He asks turning to you while leaning on the granite counter.
He’s hoping it’s not awkward after that weird conversation at the cafe. He had wondered what had gotten into you. To busy with that thought to care much about the girl across from him.
“Mhm much better” you examine every inch of him. His face, his hair, his hands. And he watches you space out. “So what got you feeling unwell?” He asks, pushing himself off the counter and slowly nearing towards you. “First, how did the interviews go?” You place the towel you were using to dry your hand in the counter
“No, Why did you leave me?” He insists and you give in. With a big sigh you ready yourself to tell him the truth… tell him what he wants to hear*
“Sorry, I was just feeling a little overstimulated, I’m not sure why” yes the hell you did. “But I just needed some time alone” you continue and he listens with a soft smile.
“Don’t apologize pretty... Did you figure out why you were feeling overwhelmed?” He asks, his hand coming to move hair from your face. The action wasn’t supposed to make you feel the way you did. This is normal between you two… not weird… you aren’t supposed to be this affected.
You are so beautiful; he thought. Your in comfortable clothes now, but he thinks you look ten times better then at the cafe. If he didn’t have half a mind, he would kiss you right now.
“Yeah” you unintentionally lean into his palm when he tucks the hair behind you ear. Your eyes close in the process and he freezes. You looked like a cat, feeding into his touch. He caressed your face while smiling down at you.
“Yeah? … What was it?” He ask, taking his chances and taking a step closer. Your thighs touching his, before he wraps his arms around you, bringing you into a warm hug; which you reciprocate.
“You…”
You didn’t mean to say it, but you didn’t really seem to care what left your mouth when he was holding you. You felt safe.
“Me!?” He tries to pull away but you refuse.
“Please don’t let go” you grip tighter around him. Digging your face into his chest. “I was overwhelming you!?” He asks. His hands stay open, no longer loading into you. Jeno just watches you closely, but you won’t move.
“No, I mean.. it wasn’t anything you did”
“What does that mean? Are you upset with me? Is that why you left?”
“No. Jeno please just hold me for a moment” you finally look up at him. Your eyes pleading him to hug you. How could he refuse. His big arms wrap around you, squeezing you into him further. You can hear his heart beating, faster then normal. He continues to look down at you. He watches you stare at him.
“Jeno?”
“Y/n”
“Can I be the one you bring to meet your parents?” He can’t help but beam at the question. He felt giddy and light. He doesn’t care about anything right now, the only thought in is head is you.
“Finally…” he muttered. You feel like his head is moving closer to yours, but maybe that’s just your mind laying tricks on you.
“Finally? What does that mean? Is that a yes or a no?” You punch your eyebrows together and try your best to keep eye contact with him. “You don’t get it do you?”
“Get what?” You are about to pull away to ask another question, but Jenos hands move from your back to your hips and you can feel your body heat up. “Y/n you are quite oblivious” his head is definitely moving closer to yours. His eyes are stationed on your lips and yours on his. “Jeno?” he getting unbelievably closer, you begin to hold your breath, grabbing his forearms for leverage. “Y/n”
“Are you going to kiss me?” You watch his face closely.
“As soon as you say the words princess”
You let out a sigh and lift your hands to hold his face. “‘The words’” you whisper and he didn’t even get the time to laugh, your lips attached to his immediately. One of his hands come to cup you face. His lips are soft and it feels like a movie. I know it’s sounds cheesy, but the moon was so bright through your windows and the sound of wind could be heard from inside the apartment.
[12:59]
He tries pull away but you won’t allow him. Your lips chase his and he smiles into you. “Y/n”
“Yes?” You look up at him when he pulls away completely. “Your going to be my valentine.” You laugh at his seriousness. “Is that a question?”
“No”
He leans in again to peck a your lips
“Please. Let. Me. Take. You. To. The. Bedroom.” He asks between each kiss. “I haven’t even said it yet jeno”
He pulls away. “Said what?”
“That I like you, and I think that there’s definitely something between us” you joke, bitting your lip, and being as dramatic as possible.
“Congrats… You were the last to realize” he laughs when your face drops.
“Wait- are you serious?” He lets another laugh leave him.
“Happy Valentine’s Day y/n”

Sand Through Fingers Ch 1
Tumblr media
AO3 Link
You and Rufus Shinra have been in a weird and messy master/pet relationship for years when he calls you up out of the blue after rising to President. You've both always maintained a comfortable distance but he seems to have other plans now. (I wouldn't even call it good or realistic pet play, either. Pet Play Lite, is what I'd call it)
When you accepted Rufus’ call to come to Junon with him, it was more to sate your curiosity than anything. And if it was boring, you could always enjoy yourself on his dime while there. In fact, it was expected. It was part of the dynamic of your relationship. When Rufus told you that he required you to dress nicely for the helicopter ride over, you got annoyed. But you had already agreed to go.
You chose a long dress, casual enough to not stand out too much, but with a little embellishment to let him know you put some effort in. You almost regretted it when you realized this dress needed heels. You actually couldn't picture a woman standing next to him in public without heels on. You disliked fancying yourself up for strangers but you could just take it off the first chance you got. He promised you it wouldn't be long.
You had never been ma’am’d and miss’d so much in your life on the way to that helicopter. You had never been perceived so much in your life. You couldn’t fault these individuals’ earnest politeness, though. No, you could fault the person who invited you. As soon as the last polite someone shut the door to the helicopter, you could breathe. Mostly. There were still two sitting in front, piloting. One of them had helpfully placed your overnight bag next to your feet. Rufus sat next to you in the row of seats in the back. His arm squeezing your waist dulled the prickling of your irritation. Also, you didn't get to go on many helicopter rides so you were somewhat excited. You could ask for more but that would probably mean getting involved in the company, especially since Rufus was now the president.
He never once asked about your loyalty to the company as a resident of the plate, even if it was what he desired. You had the impression it was something he wanted you to come to on your own. Maybe that would change in the future but your company, however sporadic, seemed to be more than enough for now.
After the helicopter lifted into the air, Rufus unzipped one of his breast pockets. He slid out a card and placed it in your waiting palm.
“Don’t let me down, Master,” he said, smiling with eyes glancing over your face.
The card was plain black, except for the Shinra logo in red on the front in the upper left corner. You bent down to slip it into your bag. That was for spending later.
“Does that make you feel better?” he asked with a smirk.
“A little,” you replied. That was all you were planning to concede.
“I hope so. Because Public Safety is greeting us.”
“What? So?”
“All of Public Safety.”
“Rufus!” you wanted to yell but downgraded to an angry whisper.
He laughed. “Now, Master-”
“Don’t you ‘Master’ me!”
He wrapped both arms around you while you fought him like a squirming cat. He was excited about today and none of your grumpiness was going to ruin that, apparently.
“We’re almost at Junon, Sir,” called one of the pilots over his shoulder.
You sheepishly took your hand down from Rufus’ face, no longer pushing it away. The reminder that you weren’t alone made you reluctantly behave like a normal person. Of course, he was enjoying your reactions or he wouldn’t be tolerating it. When you met his eyes, he gave you another smirk. You would have liked to pinch his nipple through his clothes but you chose to punch him in the side, instead. He chuckled. He knew you were going to behave but he also was counting on you to. Or he wouldn’t have asked you to come.
You spotted the amount of people on the Junon runway and you only had time to curse under your breath one time before you had to follow Rufus out of the helicopter.
You planted your hand on his outstretched palm. You stepped down with his help, managing to not get your heel caught on the lip of the helicopter doorway. You’re panicking on the inside but you kept your facial features carefully schooled on the outside. Your back straightened–hopefully in an elegant manner–as he turned to face the columns of uniformed troops and their commanders standing in front. He paused to sweep his eyes over them all. You fiercely fought the urge to grimace and elbow him away. Doing that in front of all these people would be crossing a line you couldn’t return. Also, you might as well let him have his moment. He would probably be happier and more obedient later for it. Call it an investment for the future for when he’s on his knees.
Rufus must have been pleased because he began to walk forward. He leads you by closing his hand around yours, which you tolerate. You felt like his professional girlfriend. Which you were not. Darkstar was out in front so you had something to keep your eyes on as you concentrated on not twisting an ankle. These people were probably trained to keep their eyes forward but if you met anyone’s gaze, the thin veil would have dropped.
Once inside the adjacent building, Rufus leaned in. “I have a prior engagement but I’ll take you to the room first.”
“You better,” you mutter in reply.
Once the hotel room door shuts behind you, you let out a loud sigh. “Fuck me. What the fuck was that?”
You ripped your heels off and threw them on the dark red carpet. There were already red lines cut into your feet. The dress landed on the floor next to them. You sat on the bed. Then you immediately flopped back on it once you felt how comfortable it was on your tush. You did your best to will the tension from the walk here to diffuse into the mattress. Rufus came to stand next to your knees, looking down at you.
“Comfortable?”
“Yes.” You sat up and frowned at him, lips curling in suspicion. “Why am I here?”
He gestured to the room. “I wanted you to see me in my element.”
The room was the best in Junon. The theme was red and yellow-cream. Paintings on the walls, a large, framed mirror propped on the side table. A second room off to the side, no doubt some kind of living room, but with a fancier name. The balcony is three times the size of the other rooms. The whole thing was overly decorated, with red filigree carved into the trim on the ceilings. You spied a thick fabric canopy on the bed while lying on your back. This environment is so different from what you’re used to that it’s a shock at first.
You eyed him. “I don’t like your ‘element.’ That’s the point.”
That should have been an insult to anyone else but he just smiled. You grabbed his gloved hand and attempted to pull him onto the bed. He held firm.
He chuckled. “Sadly, I don’t have time for that. I have to get ready to greet the world.”
Fine. He could “greet the world.” But now that you're here, you don't know what it had to do with you and why you had to be here. You could have watched this on the TV from the comfort of your apartment.
“I came all the way here and you’re going to be a bad pet?” you asked, astonished. Then you snorted angrily.
He dipped his chin slightly, the only acknowledgement that he was being naughty.
“Fine, Fine,” you said, having had enough of being annoyed. You inclined your head. “Show me.”
Rufus pulled down his dark grey shirt collar to give you a peek at a second collar hidden underneath. It was black with short spikes protruding from it, matching Darkstar’s harness.
“That’s the least you can do,” you said.
“You can watch from the balcony. I ordered you room service. Something to drink.” He knew you preferred to pick your own food. He ignored your sigh. “Will you be here afterwards?”
“Someone has to watch your pup.”
He gave you a toothy grin. “You’re so good to me.”
You huffed out of your nose. He was finally starting to sound like the good boy he was supposed to be. Rufus signalled to Darkstar that he was to obey you until otherwise ordered. The hulking beast got up from his spot on the carpet and stretched the first few steps. He flopped down at your feet, harness clinking. You smirked at him. He knew he was in for a lazy time with you around and was getting a head start.
“It’s a little busy downstairs with the turnout to see my inauguration. It’s better if you remain here.” You looked ready to snap at him again so he continued, “I just…know how you are.”
“Do you? I had to parade across that huge runway just to get here,” you said, pointing down at the bed. “You’re going to pay for that later.”
“Good.”
“Asshole,” you said. Now you knew he did it on purpose to get a punishment later.
“Until later, Master.”
And Rufus left. You felt slightly abandoned but only because you hadn’t been to Junon in years. You considered going against his advice and going downstairs with Darkstar as company. The pup looked immensely comfortable trying to meld with the carpet so it was a tough decision.

Episode 27
Syrus finding out Professor Banner is up to some shady things.
I’m sorry the runes that have a tomb in them? Where shadow games used to happen? Seto Kaiba I have some questions for you about your school.
I love how well Jaden knows his friends. Alexis tells him that these runes are where the shadow games took place and his first thought is sweet we can find clues about your brother!
“You get pizza and we get… whatever it is I’m holding!” Curse you dub writers!! That is Onigiri and it’s delicious. I won’t forgive this blasphemy.
Backpack Pharaoh!!! And so it begins
Not Pharaoh starting everything because he pawed at an ancient object. The most realistic thing here is a cat causing problems on purpose.
Jaden please listen to winged Kuriboh when he tells you to run
Jaden what do you mean you’ll lead the storm away?? Take cover. As much as I blame his friends in later seasons for making Jaden solve their problems he really does have a hero complex. The boy needs to learn to value himself.
Really duel spirit Winged Kuriboh!! I forgot we got this so early on. Jaden is so excited about being able to touch Winged Kuriboh.
The grave keepers??? Oh that has to be weird for AU Jaden who knows the tomb keepers.
Offta all of his friends are in coffins and he has 5 spears pointed at his throat.
“If it’s for my friends Tehran there is no doubt I’ll win.” “Buried alive? Then who will save my friends?” Jaden I love his selfless you are but please worry about yourself to.
“Good luck Jaden we are all rooting for you very very much” - banner. “Jaden!” - Syrus. “Come one Jaden save us.” - Chumley. While they are all tied up doing nothing. And so it begins. Jaden the savior. We shall sit back and not try to save ourselves and how Jaden wins a card game for our lives.
I do love Jaden mentally communicating with Winged Kuriboh.
Jaden why didn’t you attack? He only has a face down monster card on the field. Like you could have taken one monster out and then you wouldn’t have been attacked twice in the next turn. It would have only been once and bubble man would have blocked most of the damage.
Especially since this duel is real!
Au Jaden knows that this is so dangerous. He’s in the spirit world dueling with real damage with all his friends lives in the line
Way to give up on your student professor banner.
Episode 28
“Hey winged kuriboh you always have my back!” “He’s not a weakling he’s my very best friend.” Love the Kuriboh love
“I summon myself” ah our first duel against a duel spirit. It’s so wild how the person you’re fueling can just run over and attack you.
“Behold the power of the shadow game” Jaden falls to his knees “shadow games”
What a crazy moment for Au Jaden who grew up hearing of but never seeing or playing a shadow game. (Well he did earlier this season but still it’s a shock to the system every time.) He has to be freaking out. He knows how dangerous this is.
“You should have attacked faster.” I love that this implies that the monsters have control over how quickly the attacks land. (Which is the point she’s alive and doesn’t want Jaden to die.) but it’s funny hearing someone blame their monster. Plus Jaden’s “it’s not her fault you messed up!” Yes Jaden call him out
Jaden just got impaled and attacked by magic. He’s physically suffering. And he’s laughing. You maniac. He’s having a fun duel.
Way to find a loop hole Jaden. He can’t access card effects targeting the graveyard but not the monster effects of cards in the graveyard it’s also a great debut for Necroshade.
And to use the effect to get bladeedge out for the win.
The Chief is hurt after the match and Jaden was instantly concerned for him. Love Jaden complimenting all of them. I had a great time, you guys are great can I duel you again without my friends in a coffin?
Love Jaden getting half of a medallion and the foreshadowing of Atticus. (If only he won an on screen duel)
Not banner accidentally saying this was a test and no one buying his excuses.
Why does this school have so many entrances too the shadow games and spirit world? Seto I have some questions for you and so does Jaden. Like he’s feeling like a hero but also what is going on at this school?
Nlove Gravekeeper’s assailant protecting Jaden.
Syrus you weenie. You see a pretty girl that knows Jaden and “aren’t you going to introduce me to your friend.” Jaden - “get your own friends.” Thank you Jay. Syrus even had the nervous hand ringing going on.
I love that she has a crush on Atticus and Jaden recognizes it.
Winged Kuriboh leads the way to saftey. They can all see it. How does
Love that Jaden won’t leave Chunly behind!
Oh my goodness I forgot Des Koala spirit showed up. And to carry and injured Cumley to freedom!!! (Also Chumley yelling “I love running” as he’s being carried is such a real thing)
Question Alexis and Syrus just saw all these real duel spirits. They saw how they helped them. Why in later episode do they act like Jaden’s crazy for talking to his spirits? Specifically Syrus?
Yes the wake up outside of the ruins. But come on you know it wasn’t a dream, Jaden has the amulet.
Also I love the detail of Winged Kuriboh and Des Koala’s cards being out and next to their masters since their spirits were with them in the spirit world.
Episode 29
The shadow riders are here! It’s time for Nightshroud!
Love the reveal that he has the second half of the pendant right away.
Not Chazz roasting Jaden for being called to the principals office only to be called in as well.
And Crowler taking every opportunity to mock Jaden. And Jane turning it right back on Chazz!
Also why are the ‘best duelist’ at the school made up of 2 teachers (are there no other teachers, there should be more teachers) 1 senior and 4 freshman. Like at the 3rd and 2nd year classes just full of duds??
Jaden just found out about the Sacred Beast cards
“Our 7 best duelist!! Well really 5 best but I need 7.” Said directly to the Teachers!!!
Of course Jaden the first to grab one. (Followed by Zane, Bastion, Alexis, Chazz, a bragging Crowler, and Banner)
Love Alexis think Jaden is going to be a target because he’s a Slifer (she’s right)
Nightshroud does have a sick entrance, and a duel in a volcano
Of course Syrus and Chumley are bait again. At least Chumley offered to help.
Jaden- “it’s not my first shadow duel! I just hope this one doesn’t hurt”
Au Jaden is really debating calling in the professionals how freaked out do you think Au Jaden is by frighting Red eyes black dragon in a shadow duel? Like that is Uncle Joey’s card. It has always protected Jaden. He’s never been scared of Red Eyes until this moment.
But he’s also fueled against it a hundred times. So he knows what works and what doesn’t.
Except this guys has a deck built around Red Eyes. And he’s able to get over Jaden’s monster with a spell card to attack him directly. Jaden can feel the full power of Red eyes and it hurts. By the time the episode ends Jaden is struggling to stand and panting for breath. He’s really hurt
Also he’s what 14/15 and dueling for his friends lives and the world. No wonder he has anxiety by season 3
Also Alexis how have you not recognized those cards yet?
Episode 30
Okay Jaden finally gets a monster with equal points as Red eyes, takes it out and goes for direct damage with Burstintrix.
Jaden asking him why he’s not acting like he’s hurt is honestly funny.
Way to get extra cards in your hands Jaden.
Jaden refusing to lose even though he’s been hit again and is almost brought to his knees.
He gets a good hit in and finally get his moment to flinch in pain.
He’s got so many Red eyes cards.
4,500 is crazy in early Yugioh. Plus Red eyes eternally dark fire has such a sick design.
Everyone else recognizing something is wrong except Crowler is amazing.
Jaden just took two heavy hits and collapsed. Love Alexis offer to take over the duel and he gets her soul if she wins or loses. I love the attitude. But maybe actually do it rather than continue standing to the side while Jaden gets back up and keeps going.
Great win Jaden.
But home boy just passed out from damage.
Atticus is back!!
I was thinking about giving Alexis or Zane this duel but the trauma of Jaden having to stare down Red Eyes and fight for his life.
Also Joey’s reaction to Jaden telling them about how he fought a red eyes deck that tried to kill him. Maybe he missed his check in call because of the damage caused. When he finally does call home they can instantly tell he’s hurt and they are all freaking out. More shadow games?? What is this the fourth one?
Maybe Jaden’s been keeping them a secret until now as they were one off events but now he can’t hide them any more.
Or maybe he has told them but said he could handle it as they were one off events. Not they are definitely not. There are seven duelist coming for Jaden and his friends’s souls.
And how does Joey handle one of his favorite cars being responsible for the banged up condition Jaden is in.
Episode 31
Camula stop spying on peoples cards and why are you stalking the 17 year old.
Why are both teachers cowards?
I love seeing Crowler in action as a good guy.
Crowler how did you just figure out that the fuel was real.
“I won’t let you let you lay a finger on MY students. I am the leading professor at the most prestigious duel academy in the world and if you want to get to my pupils you’re going back o have to go through yours truely.” Yes!!! This is the Crowler I want barely able to stand and protecting his students until the end.
“If you want help with your strategy feel free to drop by my class.” We love the confidence.
I love that he’s getting his bit kicked and the kids want to step in but Crowler keeps telling them to stay out. He’s protecting them.
And when everyone else is doubting him Jaden arrives (being supported by Syrus). And he embodies Aunt Téa as he tells him he can win this. That he can come back and get his game on.
I believe this is the moment that Crowler starts to respect Jaden
Not Camula admitting to spying on everyone.
Crowler using his last moments to encourage his student. And then when he loses “avenge me Jaden my boy.” Like Zane right there but he doesn’t ask him because Crowler knows deep down who’s going to win this.
Oh doll crowler is way creepier than I remember. And Jaden becoming furious when she tries it to the browned only to be held back by Zane. Because he knows Jaden is still really hurt form dueling Atticus
What a great episode.
Episode 32
I love that Jaden is still healing, and Chazz holding the Crowler doll.
Chazz stepping up to duel in Jaden’s place because Jaden is still hurt.
Zane leaving to handle the problem. When Syrus chases after him he gives his little brother such a fond look. I like that you can tell just how much Zane cares for his brother even if he’s bad at showing it.
Chazz not only has the crowler doll with him but his obelisk uniform hung up ready to reclaim his place. You sentimental boy
Love Ojama yellow figuring out Crowler is alive in the doll
Chumley carrying Jaden!!! I love this boy
Zane just rushed his duel. And Syrus caught it. Amazing growth. But Zane didn’t misplay he had a back up planned. What a great way to show Syrus’s growth while also uplifting Zane’s duelist skills.
She’s going to sacrifice Syrus’s soul if she loses. I love how distraught Zane is about it. He could absolutely win but he won’t because his brother is more important to him than the world. What a Kaiba move of you Zane.
Syrus “Sacrifice me it’s okay?” Like I hate how little you think of yourself?
And after that impassioned bleach Zane tells him he loves him and stands down.
Doll Zane!!
Can I have season 1 Syrus in season 3??? Like give him some more confidence.
They also animated the kid having a panic attack that’s wild.
Jaden swearing to beat her when he can’t even stand.
Okay I get he’s determined to duel but like Chazz, Alexis, and Bastian are all in way better shape than he is. Why is he the one dueling? Like I get Zane was the best but pull your weight guys.
Episode 33
Um Seto you need to check in on your school. The head master is talking to the head to the shadow riders
I love Atticus waking up just enough to give Alexis an idea
Syrus and Chumley trying to make Banner carry his weight. (He is the only remaining adult) and Chazz and Bastion ready to roll.
Alexis what do you mean you brought the ‘Calvary’ that’s just Jaden and he should be resting!! I get that Jaden is the ‘only one with a shadow charm’ but please he’s on shaky legs.
Jaden starts out strong but Camila is already trying to sacrifice everyone. If that dumb shadow charm hadn’t kicked in they would all be dead.
Offta Jaden just had tempest turned against him. But he got it back pretty fast.
Chazz why is your professor in your pocket???
Jaden did you forget that she admitted to spying on y’all with her bats already?
Jaden you are barely hanging on. The Chazz even says it. “How did we let him do this?”
We just got some crazy vampire lore for the world of Yugioh!!! What?? I forgot all about this. She’s the last vampire in the world?? This is crazy.
Did she just accuse Jaden of Chesting because she didn’t see his card when she was cheating?
Also Jaden I love you. “I didn’t even sneak it in. I just figured since you were all about the shadows I should bring something light.”
She just got dusted!!!
Zane’s back and Crowler. He just appeared out of Chazz’s project.
Au Jaden has to be going through it. Because at first he had to make a decision. To call dad or to not call dad. He has told them about the one off duel with Jinzo (the first shadow game against a duel spirit) and the duel with Titan (the guy with a fake Millennium puzzle, it started as a fake shadow game but then became real)
And his family has been so worried each time he brought one up. That fake Millennium Puzzle really ticked them all off. He knows how worried they are.
And then he goes to another dimension and duels the tomb keepers and isn’t that weird, and earns his own half of a shadow charm. Does he call Yugi? This is his third Shadow game and this time it took him to a different realm. But his dad and his friends have already fought for the world. They don’t need to do it again. It’s Jaden’s turn to protect them.
On the next call with Yugi he doesnt tell him about the shadow game and the tomb keepers. Yugi notices the new necklace but Jaden just tells him he won it in a duel.
Later when Nightshroud and duels Jaden the duel is much the same. Jaden passes out from pain and exhaustion and sleeps for a few days.
In those few days he misses a call with Yugi. Yugi is trying not to panic. Jaden hasn’t missed a call yet but he can be forgetful. Maybe he got caught up in a duel and forgot to call. But as the days stretch on Yugi gets more and more worried. He doesn’t want to over react and go to the school, but it’s not like Jaden to ignore his messages. Seto looks up the attendance record. Jaden hasn’t been going to class, but he’s listed as clinic. Why is Jaden staying in the clinic????
They are in full freak out mode when Jaden finally calls them. Yugi answers the video call in a panic. Jaden is sitting up in a bed in the clinic and he’s obviously hurting. He looked exhausted and is slumped over and in obvious pain. Yugi freaks out “what happened!”
And Jaden can’t hide it. So he tells them about his duel with the tomb keepers that got him his pendant. The keys and the Sacred Beast. And the Shadow Riders. Jaden tells them about the duel with Nightshroud. How it was a shadow game. His 4th shadow game. (4 shadow games to many in Atem’s opinion) it’s been days and Jaden still hasn’t recovered. His hands are shaking on the call and his eyes are drooping as he fights sleep to talk to them.
Yugi’s ready to go. Normally he’s the one telling Seto and Arem to wait but that’s his baby boy trembling and barely able to sit up. But Jaden argues that they (he and his friends) can do this.
Seto asks the winning question “who is we?” When Jaden tells them it’s 4 1st years 1 3rd year and 2 Teachers Seto is ready to fire everyone at the school. Who put these children in charge of keeping the world safe? What adult did this? “Well be there in 2 hours”
“No! This is my fight. We can do this I promise.” -Jaden
“Jaden you can barely sit up. We’re coming.” - Seto
“It’s not just me. The others are great duelist. Look I promise I’ll call you if things start to get out of hand. But right now Trust me.” - Jaden
And Yugi hates it. Hates remembering being the kids responsible for saving the world, why is that his son’s job now? But he can see how much this means to Jaden. And arguing with him is just making the situation worse. He can see the strain and stress this is putting the boy under.
“Stop both of you.” He stops his husband and son from arguing. “Here’s how we are going to play this. Jaden the moment you feel you can’t handle it, even for a second, you call us. We will handle it. But until then Seto is going to send you a vital band.” They used them to monitor vitals of people when they do research of virtual worlds or dimensional traveling. “You are going to wear it the whole time. If you’re vitals ever drop passed what WE determine as safe, we are coming no arguments.”
Seto wants to keep arguing that they go now but he understands Yugi’s compromise. They had several long talks after Jaden’s first and second shadow game. About how unfair this was, how they wanted to protect him, but he was growing up. They couldn’t shield him forever. He was the son of the King of Games and Seto Kaiba, Nephew to Atem the pharaoh who defeated Zorc. His life was always going to be dangerous once people found out.
At least he was somewhere with at least 2 competent adults (ha they don’t know it’s Crowler and Banner) and several friends to help. He’s not alone (he’s going to do most of the work but they don’t know that now) and they can get to him in a matter of hours if need be. Jaden is strong. He’s hurt right now and that is being out every single one of Yugi’s dad instincts right now but he trust Jaden to know his limits.
“Thanks for believing in me Dad.” Jaden’s smile almost makes it worth it.
Either Jaden will handle this with his friends of Yugi will step in. They are keeping the plane on standby just in case.
Camula starts causing problems literally the next night. And as Jaden watches his teacher fall and he’s to week to stand he wonders if maybe he is in over his head. Then Zane goes down and he’s about to call home when Atticus wakes up and is like “no you need a shadow charm” and now Jaden knows he can’t call them. If he does then what happened to Dr. Crowler and Zane will happen to his family! No he can do this. He can win back his friends souls, save the world and keep his family safe.
After his duel with Camula Jaden does get a call from Yugi because his vitals were acting weird. Not the agreed upon low numbers but still weird enough to check in (Yugi is looking for excuses at this point to check in on his boy.) Jaden tells him about Camula (there’s no point in keeping secrets) and Yugi is stressed but he’s trying not to show it because he can see the anxiety rolling off of Jaden. Maybe it’s time to visit any ways…..

hiii I was given an excuse to talk my head off so I will! any excuse not to think about current events tbh!
my crownie's name is Asphodel, but I just call them Azzie. idk if their name fits with the other siblings well like, Salvatorem, Percival, Asphodel, Orla? I'm iffy, but i feel like im too far in now. a big like, design note for me about them is their hair is naturally like dark brown but they fucking bleached it to shit so it's totally fried. it was a major impulse choice, it's gotten to the point where the roots are pretty visible but they are not gonna fix it. in my brain the way the roots split up are the actual flower. I wanna draw them later so it's more clear... not realistic at all but my artist design brain takes forefront. I imagine they have really droopy eyes. in my head they're very wet cat.
my favorite characters are Sally and Percy!! I love sibling dynamics in IFs and I love that we actually get to spend time with them in game. I made lime a bunch of design notes about them to match Azzy at some point but I definitely lost them. one thing I do remember is noting I think Percy would have like 3B textured hair if you know what I mean? and Sally is thicker at like 3c - 4a but would either keep his hair really short or in locs for tidines sake so it's. irrelevant. i just like to think hes stressed out so hed like a hair style that doesn't require as constant Maintenance to look good. this is the situation that they are black men cause my crownie is black so (vague hand wave). I imagined Orla also has like 3b hair.
I ended up romancing Lorcan because. man do I love sibling dynamics! I love the idea of Azzy seeing in Lorcan something they couldn't have, a remnant of their sister, someone they miss but also resent to some extent. of course not consciously, I always imagine they like can acknowledge they feel something towards Lorcan, but not fully what and that freaks them out so they just choose not to think about it? especially since I play them being very nice to him and I like to think they don't even fully know why they're being like that. they're naturally conflict avoidant, you get into so much trouble for things you can't control, you sort of want to avoid it whenever you can now, but this is weird. and they're already weird if they think something Is weird? what the FUCK is going on? can't tell anyone either, want to more reasons for people to think you're a freak? choosing not to think about it. 3000 other things to think about that are not this.
that's all I have to share about them I thiiiink sorry for sending you like an essay of thoughts. thank you for letting me distract myself in your inbox for a sec, I actually feel a lot better ^^.
What’s interesting about that name that refers usually to lilies is that it is also associated with Hades (the place) and even if it’s more ritzy than the other kid’s names as a classics major who thinks about the Roman Empire and Ancient Greece 24/7 I do like anything that reminds me of antiquity ☺️
As you said 3B I knew your characters were likely black and that’s cause for Nia I thought about her her hair type far too long than was necessary I literally agonized for some reason 😭😭😭 and honestly if one day you find them or make other art for the family I would love to see it
Ohhhhhh I like that, your Crowny resents and misses Orla that is so cool cause I don’t get many people who don’t hate Orla and like I said certain things affect your relationship with her. In this case the future does change the past. I like how you got into Crowny’s jumbled mess right there for Lorcan hahaha yeah it must feel fucking insane

Not really a question just wanted to say love your blog a whole lot!!
This may be a weird semi question but is it weird that I find the raptor/handler lady as great mutism/selective mutism/ disabled rep? Like to me what makes her fascinating is how she does not say a word and feels closer to her animals cause for me I feel more close to my animals then anyone else and shut down and go mute sometimes. Like the is cool as a villain because we can’t really read her. I know in general disabled folks are put as the villains but to me she’s not really a villain? Like I’d find her offensive if we didint see more of HER as the show goes on, I see her as like an anti hero, hero of her own story. Idk maybe I’m yapping about nothing but she’s been my fav human Jurassic villain and also a cool representation and it makes her more badass
aweee thank you ❤️❤️
this got long I’m sorry. TLDR; it’s never weird to find characters relatable. it’s beautiful. the handler is my girlfriend who I love dearly but, for me, she’s not someone I consider mutism *representation* quite yet. open to having s2 rock my world with her tragic backstory though
honestly, there’s layers to it in my eyes. it’s like: are flamboyant villains used to mock queerness? yeah. will I still say they served amongst my fellow gays? yes. do I think they’re good representation to the wider public? absolutely not.
i don’t think it’s weird at all to love her and feel kinship in her. i like what we’ve seen of her so far. she’s fascinating in how little we know about her or her motivations. I hope she continues to girlboss her way across the world and strike fear into the hearts of many. and i think a lot of us do tend to closely bond with our animals because they don’t put unrealistic expectations on us. that’s a very realistic aspect of her. my cat is my hashtag best friend 4 life. but I do also think there’s a difference between good representation and interesting characters that we like.
personally, I think the handler is a relatively unoffensive portrayal, but I wouldn’t consider her representation for mutism. for one, I genuinely haven’t heard any talk of them consulting any nonverbal people to respectfully portray her like they did with brooklyn’s limb difference. for two, does she accurately show the experience of mutism? her backstory is going to play into this, but in her current state, I’m meh. most people already assume I’m plotting their downfall because im a non-expressive (autistic) and silent bipoc but she genuinely is trying to kill people so (tbf i wish i could hunt people for sport too sometimes so maybe not THAT inaccurate). I think the strongest thing she has going for her representation wise is that she used body language to comfort the raptors instead of words. that ability to silently communicate with her pack felt real.
how they handle her in s2 might change my opinion, but rn I don’t see her as rep in the same way that, say, yasammy represents me as a lesbian or kenji represents me as a member of a diaspora. love that freaky woman but when I explain what it’s like to be me, I wouldn’t use her as an example is my basic thought process. I’ll never knock other nonverbal people’s thoughts cause we aren’t a monolith but *i* see representation as something made for us. yaz and sammy were handled so lovingly and thoughtfully and THATS what i want representation to mean (<- guy who can’t go 2 seconds without praising yasammy)
I would also like to lightly push back on the idea that verbal shutdowns are the same as mutism, though. being mute means that you speak rarely, if ever, on a constant basis. they’re distinct experiences, though some people (like me lol) will have both! the way I’d describe it is kind of like: verbal shutdowns are temporary breakdowns caused by high emotional stress. but being nonverbal is daily life. it might be physical, mental, or both but it’s not really something that changes without purposeful interventions. the experiences are relatable to each other, but they have their nuances
I DIGRESS! at the end of the day, there’s no authority on representation thought because that defeats the purpose of us all being unique people with our own opinions. if a character makes you feel seen, then that’s beautiful. keep loving them. don’t let anyone tell you it’s weird. our experiences shape how we relate to characters. the good, the bad, and the ugly. hell, you’re talking to the person who soapboxes about autistic claire everyday because I think she acts like one of us. she’s relatable to my experience so I’m gonna claim her all I want every day of the week. that’s the beauty of fiction
I hope this didn’t come off as shaming or superior in any way. I tried to emphasize personal opinion where I could but again I’m autistic. makes me sound more confrontational than intended online. I genuinely do not think it’s weird in any way. I mainly just hope s2 gives the nuance I’m looking for in her portrayal

Odd question, but do you think the cats wear clothes?
Apologies for the delay, Anon!
This is not a weird question at all! Throughout the show we see many Cats wearing song costumes or changing between their chorus character and song character designs and some of them can definitely be assumed to be wearing clothing, even if never explicitly stated. This is, of course, not mentioning collars as I do not consider that clothing.
As with basically everything in the show, it is up for interpretation whether the Cats wear clothes as we see them in the show, or would wear clothing at any point outside of the context of the musical. Depending on how fantastical you want to be also plays a role in this thought. If you want them to be more like an actual cats, it becomes a very narrow field of characters, but adding more of the magic of the Jellicle world can increase that number.
For me at least, I think only a small portion of the characters actually wear clothing at any point. Most of the context in the musical related to clothing seems more to accentuate the theme of the song or appearance of a character more than the fact that they are dressed a certain way. You can see this most prominently in how the Cats dress up as Pollicles or Beetles, where the costumes are more thrown together and silly than actual articles of clothing.
From a canon standpoint, Skimbleshanks is the only Cat that I think routinely wears clothing, more specifically a fun train conductor uniform that was made for him as an 'employee' of the Midnight Mail. This is further shown in his 2019 design, where he is always shown wearing clothes.
From here, it becomes a bit more unclear of who might be wearing clothing, but I will focus one those who change costumes during the show.
We see Jennyanydots go through two costume changes in her song, but I do not think she wears clothing often, more donning the Gumbie Cat and Tap costumes for special occasions, if viewed from a Jellicle standpoint. From an actual cat standpoint, she has never actually worn any costume and those song costumes are only meant as fun additions to how she is viewed as a lazy cat during the day, but then zooms around the house at night.
Gus has the appearance of wearing clothing to an extent, but I view it more as an older cat wrapped in a nice blanket that he has owned for many years and is embedded with his familiar scent, and which acts as a point of comfort as he begins to be effected by a decline in physical and cognitive health. This works in either a realistic or fantasy point of view.
For Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, I do not think they actually wear clothing, outside of the pearls that Rumpleteazer has and wears infrequently, either given to her by her owners or obtained another way. Their respective song costumes are strictly to poke fun at the fact they look very similar, and, like Jennyanydots, only for a few minutes of fun in the Jellicle world.
I do not think Rum Tum Tugger actually wears a belt or has bandanas, and that this is meant more as a design choice to show him off as a 'rockstar'. In a Jellicle view, he would be more inclined to dress like that all the time, as opposed to those mentioned above who only wear things on occasion.
Bustopher Jones is a chubby tuxedo cat, and does not wear any clothing as a normal cat. Even in the Jellicle world, I do not think he actually wears a special suit with spats, and it is only his rich coat that is emphasized in context of the costume. Saying that, he does have a monocle because he is a fancy cat with some poor eyesight.
Mistoffelees is a normal black cat in my opinion that is just cheeky. He does not really light up or sparkle extraordinarily as a normal, and even in a Jellicle setting I do not think he would have a separate jacket like they show. He can do the above more as an illusion rather than magic to alter his appearance. (Depending on your interpretation, he may be able to shape shift, and it is implied that he is magical in some way, but that requires more explanation than here).
Grizabella is tricky in the sense that she is very obviously dressed up in a form of clothing, but I do not think she actually wears anything, again coming down to it more showing her as a past Glamour Cat in a design context rather than her in costume. The revised design make this point harder to separate, but viewing the older design, or what is currently used in Japan, and you can understand more what I am getting at. She is/was a glamorous cat that in my view was a show winner, being well groomed and taken care of until something happened and (depending on what you think) she was abandoned/left the Tribe/was exiled or whatever reason for her to fall into disarray. The tattered clothing in her design is meant to empathize that transition into despondency from fame rather than her actually wearing a dress.
I view Growltiger and Griddlebone as a seperate characters who look like their costumes, so Gus or Jellylorum dressing up is not actually meant to be themselves in costume from a certain standpoint, but they are portraying the two is the context of the musical, as a homage to past theatrical performances. Outside of that (perhaps confusing) circumstance, I already mentioned Gus above and Jellylorum would not wear anything.
For everyone else, I cannot see them wearing clothing at really any time other than maybe a one time thing for fun, but not as actual cats.
I view everyone more as actual cats that gather together and see themselves in these more grandiose situations as seen in the musical itself, rather than say having special cat sized clothing that they can or will wear.

Dream time?
I had the most bonkers dream of all time.
(i take medication for sleep problems, they have the side effect of either giving you nightmares or smexy dreams, i have neither of them, but this time it was absolutely long and bonkers)
And i normally have very bonker dreams.
So i was in school, in the PE hall, playing with soccer balls or whatever. And somehow i got pretty mad.
I went back to the main building cuz it was lunch time and one of the students said that my pet inguana lizardwas thrown out of the school day care because there were so many animals. And that they let it run freee for some reason!
I talked to the student that I'm at least glad that they didn't put it to sleep or butchered it.
So anyway i looked for it and it was running around in a translucent plastic egg, the ones from Kinder Chocolate but like big and translucent.
I got it, but then i was a completely different person who was like a body morpher and could turn into anything. And i was outside.
I had siblings who were also kinda body morpher but they decided to be Len and Rin. For whatever reason.
Tumblr media
So anyway, i had some body morpher parents who discovered a giant cave entrance that was sealed with metal doors and shit, and behind it was rocks. But my parents found out that there was a big hollow room behind it, and decided to break it open. But by doing so they released a terrible white gooey monster with a lot of holes, but it didn't leave the cave.
The cave was kinda like a lab, and then some guy spoke to them through a screen on the side mocking them about not being able to defeat it.
Anyway my parents gave up and sealed the cave again but they knew the monster was unleashed basically.
While they were fighting, me, Len and Rin were going around the campus of the school, looking at fences and how to escape school bills by making a ghillie suit and not having to pay school fees.
Oh and they we wanted to know what i would be for anime con, since i looked like a fusion of rin and len and then len said he doesn't wanna be himself this time and i got to morph into a tinier version of len, since the both of them were older than me.
There was a bunch of animal stuff too, like following a Blackbird who wanted to just go in a line to find it's family, but that stuff is unimportant rn.
Anyway i went to the cave and opened it, got sucked inside and it was like a whirlwind in there, there were various weird mechanisms that shut the guy from the outside or something and while being flung around, i opened it on accident. I came into the control center or something and the guy was just sitting there in a chair and screamed at me.
He was stuck in there from the past, and since i was from the future, he aged quickly and then because he wanted me to leave, ordered the monster to disappear.
So then i got flung out again, and saw my parents just stand there, they grabbed me and put me in a small plastic basket as a jail. They put rin and len in there too.
But then they were happy that i got rid of the monster and gave me some weird sugary stuff in the form of a little plastic tube, like the cat snacks
Tumblr media
And we ate a bunch of sweets together on a tiny table.
I don't know what the fuck that dream was.
Sorry if the writing is shit i just wanted to write it down quickly before i forgot again.
@deargodhelpmeaaa you wanted dream stuff right?
Edit: i forgot to add that when len and rin and me were walking around the campus we also discovered the places where you have to pay the fees and also a few stores. And a building that apparently had confidential papers, but the bloody thing was made out of glass. it was shelves full of books with chairs directly next to it but it was just sealed with glass. Kinda like this but like realistic. What am i saying none of this is realistic
Tumblr media
Edit edit: My siblings also wanted to teach me shuffling. And other dances. I don't fucking know why

She most likely found you when trying to find others to stay at the hazbin hotel and despite being rough around the edges she pushed further and further practically begging you to come join.
She literally would not leave you alone and since you weren't necessarily shy (and lowkey wanted her to leave) you joined the hotel. Plus a free room wasn't all that bad. Not to mention you just joined hell
"Oh you are going to love it here! I just know it!"
Honestly you probably hated her at first since you don't like relying on others a lot but she kept on trying to tell you that its alright and that she was there if you needed anything
With you being prideful and her needing some of that confidence in some areas I feel like you two would really balance each other out
Despite you not having overly strong emotions its fine! Cause she's got enough for the both of you.
Since you don't have strong emotions and tend to brush off the severity of a situation she'll step in and probably tell you whats what. Making a huge speech about everything and why it matters
You probably don't see the big deal with exterminations because of this and she'll try and convince you
"Everyone here is a human soul, just like the ones in heaven and I believe that everyone deserves their happy ending,"
You try and understand it for her but it gets confusing at times. She'll likely read to you the book she keeps in her room (the one she was reading in the first episode)
She's really passionate about things and sometimes you need to calm her down and bring her back to reality and she appreciates it when you do
"Thank you, I want a bit crazy there... heh,"
You most likely admire her ambition and will to get it done despite it most likely never happening as of currently (it does but we'll get to that)
You try to help her out from time to time but overall let her deal with it. Although sometimes she'll over stress and you'll need to go ahead and calm her down and remind her not to lose her head over it
Honestly despite what others think I believe Charlie has a competitive side to her when it comes to things that she believes in
So when she was told that her idea wouldn't work it was like a competition and in order to gain more or your help phrased it like one
"I wanna show those demons that my dreams will come true!"
She loves it when you get mischievous and sometimes will also try to be so. Although you might have to help her with it as she's kinda bad at it
While Charlie isn't big on drama I'd imagine she'd still love to hear about it just so that she can try to resolve it. Meanwhile you might end up trying to stir some of it up and she'd scold you for it. Not harshly, but still scold.
You both don't shy away from conflict and this is why I think you'd work so well together. When Heaven tells her that there's no proof she goes over and tells you what happened and since you both kinda hate the authority of Heaven you both challenge it
"We're gonna show those angels whats what!"
It was at this moment when she become really feisty in some term. You both began working harder and she loved the fact that you didn't shy down from heaven despite being a sinner
She really admired that part of you and tells you about it every single day
Charlie is a big cuddler. She'll probably snuggle up to you whenever she can. That and she always holds your hand wherever you go and will give you gifts. She is the princess of hell after all :)
If she sees that you've been staring at something that you might like for too long she'll get it for you. She most likely always pays for things like food and will always ask if you want to go and get something to eat with her
Also sometimes she'll just come home with chocolates for you or a gift for you
"Soo I saw this and it totally reminded me of you!"
You mentioned how you didn't like blind obedience and being responsible for others and honestly I thought this was perfect. I feel like Charlie isn't one to follow orders directly, she was told by many people that her plan wasn't gonna work even by her dad and yet she still persevered
And while she does like to be responsible for others in some way by helping them you won't have to be so for her. She takes care of her own actions :)
"I can't just follow what they say, its not right!"
As for your hobbies I'm actually kinda convinced that Charlie would love anime and would watch it with you all of the time
She would let you help her design the hotel and would love all of your ideas. She has a book just full of them in case she can use any of them :)
Also she probably has some sort of demonic botanical garden for you. She might not have much of a green thumb herself but she'd love to have you help her through it
She'd adore it when you'd cosplay. No questions asked
"OMG! Are you [insert character]!! I love them!!"
I feel like Charlie would try and push herself out of her comfort zone every now and then. She would love to try any crazy activities with you and probably have a heart attack whilst doing so-
One time you were helping her set up decorations for the hotel and accidentally fell off a ladder. She felt horrible and helped to patch you up despite you protesting claiming that it was her fault you were even on the ladder in the first place
Once she found out you were into skin care she begged you to share your routine with her
"Your skin is amazing! Whats the secret?!!!"
Once she learned you used to play the saxophone she would go crazy constantly asking you about it and asking you if you still know how to play
Then she found out you used to do gymnastics!? She was absolutely floored begging you once again to show her something
She loves your ability to find humor in any situation. It brightens up her mood every time :)
I hope this was good enough!

Sims Tag  
I was tagged by @esotheria-sims!
1. What’s your favourite sims death?
Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever let a sim die 😆 Not only do I not actually play the game very often, I’m just too attached to my sims. But if I had to choose it’d be death by cowplant.
2. Alpha CC or Maxis Match?
Alpha/semi-realistic till the day I die!
3. Do you cheat when your sims gain weight?
Nah, that’s unnecessary.
4. Do you use move objects?
ALWAYS.
5. Favorite mod?
@lamare-sims‘ Shiftable Everything! I love to decorate, and this was a TOTAL game-changer for me.
6. First expansion/game/stuff pack you got?
I bought The Sims 2 Deluxe in 2007. I still get confused with what came with the base game and what came with Nightlife because I’ve always had NL 😅
7. Do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing?
Like LIVing. I seem to be in the minority on this but whatever.
8. Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?
Laegrinna, of course! I’m sure everyone who follows me knows already but she’s the sim pictured in this post and in my avatar. She’s the protagonist of a game called Deception IV: Blood Ties.
9. Have you made a simself?
Yep, I do have one, you can see her in my 40th birthday post from last year. I gave her graying hair then to be more accurate. I did play as her a few times but it felt kind of weird so she just roams around my hood.
10. What sim traits do you give yourself?
I don’t use the traits mod but if I did, it’d probably be Absent-Minded, Perfectionist, Cat Person, Eccentric, and Socially Awkward.
11. Which is your favorite EA hair color?
I don’t use EA colors or textures, obviously, but I hate them all, especially the pee yellow blonde 😂
12. Favorite EA hair?
I don’t use EA hairs, but the only one I even remotely like is the Mansion & Garden dreads band hair. I might try to do something texture-wise with it at some point.
(Editing to say HOW THE SHIT DID I FORGET LAEGRINNA’S HAIR *facepalm* yeah it’s the Modern Bob from the EA store. As for hairs shipped with the game see above)
13. Favorite life stage?
I only play adults because I’m boring lol
14. Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?
I dunno, I spend way more time creating and taking pics than I do playing. I’m awful at building but I do enjoy it and like I said I love decorating.
15. Are you a CC creator?
Yep, have been for almost 8 years now! I’ve made a ridiculous amount of CC, mostly hairs but I think I enjoy retexturing clothing and objects a bit more. I’ve just started learning meshing and it’s opened up so many new possibilities for me. I have an endless list of future projects!
16. Do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad?
I have a few. I’m not popular in the community or anything and my social skills are lacking but I do like interacting with other simmers.
17. What’s your favorite game? (1, 2, 3, or 4)
Sims 2 forever!
18. Do you have any sims merch?
Nope.
19. Do you have a YouTube for sims?
No and I don’t think I’d be good at making videos in general.
20. How has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing?
It’s gotten much more eccentric and I’ve leaned harder into semi-realism despite most people playing Maxis Match the past 10+ years. I love goth/alternative CC and incorporated a lot more into my game when I created the Deception IV sims. It’s funny because it seems like people’s tastes get more mainstream as they age, but it’s exactly the opposite for me. I look at my old CC and the way I used to dress and make up my sims and think “wow was I boring back then.” The current aesthetic of my game more accurately reflects my personality.
21. What’s your Origin ID?
Bold of you to assume I use Origin 😂
22. Who’s your favorite CC creator?
Too many to list here! I’m a CC hoarder.
23. How long have you had a simblr?
7 years, almost as long as I’ve been creating.
24. How do you edit your pictures?
I do minimal editing, partially because I’m not very good at it and also because with CC previews I want people to see exactly what they’re getting. I use Pooklet’s game lighting actions, I’m careful with how much light I use when taking the pics in-game because it’s easier to brighten a screenshot than fix an overexposed one (Laegrinna’s white hair is particularly prone to overexposure). I brighten the subjects of the picture a bit more and darken the background a little so they stand out. But that’s really it.
25. What expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next?
Well, we’re not getting anything else for TS2 anyway, and I don’t even know what else I’d want because there’s so many fun mods out there that add to the game.
25. What expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far?
That’s a tough one - I love playing witches (Laegrinna and her sister Velguirie are both evil witches) so Apartment Life is up there, but I also love playing businesses and having my sims go out on the town so I couldn’t imagine playing without OFB or Nightlife.
I’m going to tag @furbyq, @focalor-sims, @equinoxts2, @pooklet, @skulldilocks, @letomills, and @phoebe-twiddle!

🔥 kenny :)
HI! THIS IS VERY LATE. APOLOGIES.
send me a 🔥 (and a topic) for a hot take!
something i have been noticing more and more frequently lately and which i have therefore been thinking about more than usual is how annoying i find it how canonical stereotypes of poverty are reflected and worsened by the fandom.
what i mean by this is that i have seen more and more interpretations of kenny which highlight only his most stereotypical and arguably more "negative" traits, some of which are genuinely not even canon. for example, kenny being dirty and/or smelly; being scruffy and sloppily dressed; being completely broke and willing to do absolutely anything for money...
don't get me wrong. kenny's family are poor. kenny is willing to do most things for money, as emphasised most notably in "fat camp", where he performs numerous disgusting stunts for quick cash and fame, and "the city part of town", where he works a shitty underpaid job to buy a doll for his sister. but even in south park, this is all framed as exploitative - i think we only have to look so far as the joke about sexual exploitation in "fat camp" to explore how and why this is the case, and reflected in a realistic setting in fanworks it is utterly bizarre to see this exploitation played off as something characteristic of who he is as a person rather than a horrific circumstance of his upbringing, a circumstance of society and of capitalism.
kenny's family, like most families in poverty, are not struggling to a point where they can never afford nice things. he's the first of his friends to get a PSP. even in a very recent episode, we saw stuart taking his kids out for ice cream - a far cry from the shitty, poor-as-a-character-trait, always-abusive and always-drunk fanon interpretation of his character!
kenny also definitely cares about his appearance! unlike his siblings and parents, he is always shown as clean and unmarked. i would imagine that he goes to great efforts to keep his face and clothing clean and to protect himself from obvious injury. i think that he cares about his family's image, despite his differences with his parents - he doesn't want to be "the poor kid", a walking stereotype, a charity case. sure, he might play into it when it suits him, but that's different, isn't it? he makes elaborate, beautiful costumes every time there's an opportunity, and he chooses characters to play that do not scream "i want to be a rat boy look at me rolling around in the dirt" to me.
that is an aspect of his character, sure. kid gets high on cat pee and plays with wild possums. he likes jokes about sex and eats weird shit. he's a little gross. no more, though, i think, than his peers... than kyle, who talks to his own shit... to butters, who prods at cow pats... to eric, who thinks about blood and guts every time he closes his eyes and collects semen samples from his friends... kids being gross is just kids being gross. i mean, they're gross. so i don't think it's wrong to make kenny a gross kid, but i do think it's bizarre to make kenny a gross kid and kyle a cleanly little germaphobe (classism and antisemitism 2-in-1, yayyy)!
i dunno, i've just felt recently that... some of these interpretations of kenny that have been cropping up are really not based in canon at all? they feel like they came straight out of mid-2000s south park yaoi! which, you know. everyone do your own thing, i guess. but i really need people to be more aware of the classist tropes they are playing into, of what in the show the are watching is classist and also of how they are interpreting commentary on poverty and class.

hi. sorry for sending this ask. I know it might inappropriate but we badly needed some help right and i hope you’d consider .. its for our cat who needs immediate care, you can find the post in my blog as i pinned it. Hoping you’d be so kind to boost/share to help us alleviate the cost as it would tremendously help us a lot. if you can, pls try to answer this privately as some people might i pressure you to do so.. i know its weird, just wanted to avoid it if possible. Thanks a lot, and sorry again for being so direct. 🙏
Alright folks, heres really good example of a classic tumblr scam
if you were to click on this url youd see theyd gone through some hoops to look legit. they have a real title, a realistic bio, and posts!
however, upon further inspection, you will see that this is the entirety of their post history. all reblogged within the past DAY
Tumblr media
all posts are fairly generic and have nothing to do with the stated interests in the bio. likely all just reblogged from the trending and for you tabs. hell, 4 of them are the 'omg help my cat' scam post.
they are also my most recent follower when looking at the list.
now onto the post itself, youll see they try some tactics like 'im sorry ik this is inappropriate' to play on people to reassure them that its ok. a lot of real actual donation posts start with folks apologizing bc of various reasons, though notably none ever seem to start with apologizing for being inappropriate. bc the person is embarrassed? yeah that happens (and never feel embarrassed to ask for help folks)
you see they state the cat needs immediate care, trying to push for people to give more quickly. they also ask you to reblog the pinned post, NOT post this ask. they even ask for this ask to be posted privately, in hopes people dont see it as a scam. heres a reminder folks. if someone you dont know who only recently followed you comes up in your dms or askbox asking for a boost or donation like this, it is ALWAYS a scam. real people do not tend to come up to strangers asking for money online. donation posts on tumblr are spread from your friends to their friends to their friends via natural reblog chains, not like this. if youre sus of a blog, check their archive to see when they started posting. if its within the past few days, they are not real.
reminder! THERE IS NO CAT. dont feel bad when you get an ask like this, you can block and report with a clear mind knowing there is no cat.
