#and I'll show you that I am not nothing. ( REN. )

[variantia]

“ … I miss them. ”

He’s lonely. He’s so lonely. He has no friends, he NEVER HAD friends before he got kidnapped, and he doesn’t know how to make friends now that his captors are dead. His social life was nonexistent before he left home, pathetic before he met Strade and Kelly … and back to being nonexistent now that they’ve died.

More than anything he craves company, but because he has no real idea how to get it on his own, he just wants back the people who did nothing except abuse him for their own entertainment.

“ All Strade and Kelly ever did was hurt me, and I miss them. ”

He’s a mess. There’s something wrong with him. There’s got to be. It can’t be normal to be so masochistic to wish his abusers were still alive torturing him, just because he’s lonely.

“ How FUCKED UP is that …? ”

I am proud of my body! #2

Continuation of this nonsense. -----------

It's a new day and Jaune stands outside his classroom door. He can hear that all his classmates have already arrived at class. But after what happened yesterday he's nervous. What will they say about him when they see him? Will they make fun of him? Will they treat him badly? A thousand thoughts ran through his mind. But within all that negativity a phrase his grandfather used to tell him resonated within him. "Dignity always prevails."

Gathering his courage and holding his head high, he enters the classroom. At that moment everyone falls silent and turns to look at him. Without losing confidence, he walks to his seat next to Pyrrha. She looked a little flushed and hadn't looked in his direction since yesterday.

Jaune: (It must have been embarrassing to have a partner go through such humiliation)

He told himself.

In the case of Nora and Ren, they still treated him the same. But he could feel like they were figuratively "walking on mines" when they talked to him. But it's better than nothing.

Above his sit Ruby was sleeping while waiting for the teacher. Next to her was the rest of her team. Weiss watching him closely. He turns to look at her and she immediately looks away. It would be a lie to say that this didn't affect Jaune, but he resisted. Yang and Blake on the other side can't seem to stop taking glances at him, especially his lower area.

Moments after sitting down, the others in the classroom began to whisper among themselves without taking their eyes off him. Some looked annoyed, while others giggled at something they said. The conversation continued and continued, the stares wouldn't leave him alone. Jaune felt like he had a target on his back. So he decided to do something.

*Slam!*

He stands up quickly, slamming both palms of his hand on the table to get attention. He walks over to the teacher's desk, looks at everyone with a brave look, and speaks.

Jaune: I know many of you saw what happened to me yesterday. So rather than let you talk behind my back, I'll save you the time.

Jaune takes a deep breath and looks around at the class. They all seem to be paying close attention to him, as if they're curious? No no no, Jaune shakes his head. Why would they be so interested in that? He must be reading the atmosphere wrong.

Jaune: Yesterday Cardin pulled down my pants. Showing everyone my… *Ahem*.. my little Jaune.

Classmate: HA!

One of his classmates all the way in the back laughs, and immediately shuts up.

Jaune: I know my size is not like the rest. I was always embarrassed going into the gym showers here with the other guys after training because of that. I mean, how many people have you know whose penis size is only 9 inches long?

Yang: Damn!

Yang yells quickly in surprise.

Jaune: Well... A-Anyways, I'm proud of my...

At that moment he is interrupted by one of his classmates who raised her hand.

Classmate: I have a question?

Jaune: A question? To be honest, I didn't expect to answer any questions. But okay, what's your question?

Classmate: Is that measurement when flaccid or erect?

Jaune: Um... flaccid.

Classsmate: Follow up question. When erect, is it bigger? And by how much?

Jaune: Well… it's a little bigger… I'd say about 10 to almost 11 inches.

Yang: DAMN!!

Yang yells again but this time in astonishment.

After sharing the information, people began to talk amongst themselves about it. There were so many people talking at the same time that Jaune couldn't understand what they were saying. But he knew he had to regain control of the conversation. So he raised his voice.

Jaune: Anyway! Now you know. I'm proud of my body and I wouldn't change it for anything. And if someone could tell the teacher that I'm not feeling well, I'd appreciate it.

He walks towards the exit, leaving the classroom. For a moment the class was silent until Ruby spoke.

Ruby: *Wakes up and looks around* What did I miss?

[aayakashii]

Based on one of Haru's voice lines, in which he implies he is barely eating properly ｡°(°¯᷄◠¯᷅°)°｡ took matters into my own hands and made the hardworking king eat a bit ( –֊ｰ)✧

I have no idea why I formatted it like this, but I guess I'll be rolling with it

the way to a man's heart is through his stomach

“I ate a few of the snacks I gave to Peekaboo earlier today, so I'm fine!” Haru says with one of his thumbs up, disheveled hair and mud all over his clothes “I promise, I'm not hungry at all, haha!”

“Haru” you say, in a serious and deep tone “You can't keep neglecting your health like this, you know?”

“But I gotta feed all the animals first, dontcha think?” He says, chucking another fruit towards the angry and starving cockatrices that threatened to bite his fingers off if he took even a little bit longer to feed them .

“Well” you say, crossing your arms and quirking an eyebrow “If you fall ill again, then no one's gonna be feeding the animals, dontcha think?”

Haru gasped dramatically “Come on!! I just got sick last time because I got scratched, now check this out” he says, sticking out his arms and twirling on the spot “I am A-okay, no scratches to be seen at a-oof!”

As if on cue, Towa leaped from one of the tall boulders that surrounded the field, straight into Haru's arms, tightly hugging the Captain.

“Towa! I was just showing (y/n) that I have no bruises, it wasn't an invitation for a hug!” Haru gasped, as Towa rubbed his cheek on the top of his head, just like a cat.

You sighed, leaving the two Jabberwock students behind as you trudged back towards their dorm, tired and incredibly frustrated.

Seeing Haru overexert himself on a daily basis caused a pang in your heart. He barely received any help, and it’s not like you could be properly useful either, since each and every animal in this place could snap you in half with just one forceful push, or tear a limb away with just one bite.

So you had to do your best babysitting Peekaboo whenever he needed, lightening up the load the only way you could.

As you opened the door to the Jabberwock dorm, you made a beeline for the kitchen – Ren was out working at the diner, so it would be fine to take a peek at the state of things without prying eyes.

And… how predictable. There was nothing but animal food in the freezer. And in the pantry, and in the cabinets.

You sighed loudly. You kind of could understand Towa not eating – maybe he just… photosynthesized? – but Haru wasn’t as whimsical as your resident fairy boy that could (probably) live on bubbles, sunlight, and flowers. “He still needs to eat, damn it.” you muttered, closing the refrigerator’s door with a bit too much force.

With a strong resolve, you decide to jog your way to your own dorm.

Since you came to Darkwick Academy, the Chancellor had been extremely kind to you. Granted, the dorm WAS a rundown dusty cathedral in the beginning, but he still made his best to fix everything to keep you as safe and comfortable as possible.

Which means: the Chancellor had given you an entire kitchen and a small allowance that let you buy as much food as you needed since the cafeteria wasn’t open 24/7.

You aren’t exactly the best cook in the world, but you could still make your own snacks, if needed. Sho would probably yap endlessly about your lack of culinary ability if he saw you with all hands on deck, but what mattered was getting by.

Therefore, you got to work: separating lettuce, carrots, eggs and every other healthy thing you could find in your inventory, you prepared four well stuffed egg sandwiches: for Towa, Ren, yourself and, of course, Haru.

After packing the food and a bottle of juice, you strode back to the Jabberwock dorm.

After two sandwiches carefully placed in that barren, sad refrigerator, and a stroll back to the field, you found Haru feeding the Capybus with huge leaves as he cooed, admiring the huge animal anomaly.

“Hey, I’m back” you said, making your way back to his side

“Oh! Hello (y/n), where did you go all of a sudden? I’m about to finish giving her this food!”

Ignoring his question, you pointed at a tree a few meters away from the spot “Hm, when you finish, could you go over there? I need to talk to you, so I’ll sit there and wait”

Haru’s face drooped immediately “Eh, okay…? Is everything fine?! Are you upset with something?”

You waved dismissively as you walked towards the tree “Don’t worry, it's nothing! Just don’t keep me waiting too long!”

Haru finished his job quickly and jogged his way to the tree, sitting under the shadow beside you.

“Wh-what’s going on? What did you need to talk about?” he asked, fidgeting, a worried frown on his face.

“Hey, don’t worry, I told you it’s nothing horrible” you laughed “But I want you to do something for me, if possible”

“Oh!” His face immediately lit up. “What is it?”

You opened your bag and placed the toasty sandwich on his lap.

“I want you to eat properly for once”.

Haru blinked at the food, silent.

His prolonged silence made it your turn to fidget uncomfortably “Haru?”

“You made this?” he asked, his voice quieter than usual.

You nodded. “It’s nothing fancy, but I can’t let you waste away while you do everything in here. I can’t do much besides babysitting the little guys, so at least I want to help you in another way… Is this okay? Sorry if I’m crossing a boundary…”

“No, no” Haru shook his head and turned his gaze towards you, smiling softly “It’s… I really appreciate it. It's just – I’m not very used to something this thoughtful. This was a surprise – a good surprise, obviously.” He said, unwrapping his sandwich.

As the scent of food hit his nose, Haru’s stomach growled loudly. “Oh dear” he giggled, sheepishly scratching his head as a blush appeared on his face “I guess you might be starting to know me a little better than myself”.

You laughed as well, but clutched his arm right before he could actually touch the sandwich, holding a finger up “Wait, wait!”

Rummaging through your bag, you fetched a small bottle and sprayed his hands thoroughly “That’s alcohol. Please always clean your hands before eating” you said, solemnly “You might be a ghoul, but your tummy can ache as well”.

Haru stared at you blankly for a moment, then immediately started laughing loudly as he drenched his hands in alcohol.

“You know, people usually say I’m the mother of all these animals, but being on the receiving end does feel kinda good” he said, still laughing happily, making a blush creep up on your cheeks.

“It’s- it’s just hygiene, okay?” you pouted, cleaning your hands as well and grabbing your own sandwich.

“I know, I know” He said, still unable to control his smile “Well, then… Can we dig in?” Haru asked, holding the snack close to his face, mouth wide open as if he was waiting for your okay to take the first bite.

“Let's eat!” You said and Haru immediately chomped his sandwich, taking a big bite “I do hope it's edible enough…” you murmured, eyeing him carefully to gauge his reaction.

After that big bite, Haru let out a loud “Mmh!!” as he chewed, his cheeks puffed like a squirrel who put one too many acorns in their mouth.

“What?? Is it that bad? I'm sorry!”

He eagerly shook his head as he finished chewing, a small piece of chopped carrot still stuck on his chin “No no no, stop selling yourself short!! This tastes great!!”

You let out a sigh of relief and took your first bite, confirming that, indeed, you did a good job with the snacks.

After a few moments of silence as you two snacked together, Haru ate the last bit of his sandwich, letting out a sigh of pure satisfaction.

“Ahhh… that was so good! Thank you so much, honestly.”

“See? And you didn't even notice at all how hungry you were! Here, now drink this” You grabbed the juice bottle you prepared and opened the lid, tilting the container towards him “Drink it while it's still cold, it'll taste a lot better.”

“... You truly prepared all of this for me?” Haru asked, gazing at the bottle.

“Of course I did. I made sandwiches for Ren and Towa too so they wouldn't feel left out, but truthfully, I made it all for…” your voice trailed off as you looked at Haru.

He avoided your gaze, a faint blush tinting his cheeks.

“Um. Yeah” you cleared your throat “I made it all for you. And I will do it more times to make sure you're eating properly! I don't want you to get sick ever again.”

Haru nodded silently. “I'm sorry for worrying you that day…” he mumbled into the now empty juice bottle.

You sighed heavily. “Hey. It's fine, Haru. Just remember there's a lot of people who always want to see you healthy and happy, okay? I'm one of them.”

He nodded once again, then immediately opened his arms out in a stretch, yawning loudly. He let his body fall heavy on the ground, with his head right beside you.

“I really am living in paradise, ain't I? Got this pretty place, cute animals and now even home cooked food…” he yawned again “I'm living the life… or maybe I already died and went to heaven…” he mumbled, almost incoherently.

“Geez Haru, don't say this type of thing!” You almost went for a playful smack on his head, but right as your hand was about to touch him, you noticed Haru had fallen asleep almost immediately after lying down.

Your eyes softened at the sight of his relaxed figure right next to you, and your fingers found their way to his hair, interlocking them with his soft red locks.

Unbeknownst to you, as you watched him sleep soundly and petted him gently, a pair of pink eyes observed you two from afar.

Towa munched on his own sandwich after picking out the egg and leaving only the greens. His eyes were set on the two of you, and he let out an amused giggle.

“Well, well... I wonder if this will become another love story.”

[danieyells]

Could I pretty please ask for any Haru stuff you found? 🥺 I've been afflicted with the Haru simp disease and only information/content of him can cure me 🛐

HARU'S CHANGED MY FEELINGS ON HIM not that i disliked him at all before but like. . .you know how he acts like the team mom? His voicelines make this worse. I thought he was more like a meddlesome but chill guy with a lot of energy. The truth is this poor man is a single mother with two unruly kids, a house full of animals, and VIRTUALLY NO HELP BESIDES YOU. No wonder he drinks nearly every fucking night. I get why Jabberwock doesn't have ordinary students but jesus christ please get some helpers in here. My man is overworked.

I ended up putting almost all of them in because. . .he is struggling poor boy. I have officially edited this to contain all of Haru's voicelines! Sorry for the wait!!

"Really learned the ropes here, haven't you? Once we have a little cash to spare, I'll buy you your own Jabberwock uniform!"

they must be expensive if it takes until Affinity 25 to get you one! He's so conscious about his finances(disregard all of the stuff he buys and never uses--) that being given a purchased gift is surely the highest tier of affection from him haha. But also. . .he treats the anomalous animals and oftentimes even the other ghouls in Jabberwock like they're his kids. This is his way of saying 'you're part of this family too.' Which is very sweet.

Spring: (March-May) (between 5am and 11am)

"Today's shearing day for the fluffy squad! It's actually a pretty hefty task, so I've gotta hop to it if I want to be done before summer..."

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Bucket, check. Trowel, check. Me and Towa are heading to the mountains to pick some veggies. You wanna come?"

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"We've been getting a lot of balmy days lately, and the sun's up longer. Can't help but dilly-dally when I'm working..."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"I've gotta clean out all the sparrow nests soon or they won't be able to look after their kiddos properly. Looks like there's... 61 nests total..."

Summer: (June-August) (between 5am and 11am)

"A lot of customers have been saying they wanna stay cool in the summer so I changed up the course. Now we have a special summer-only waterside tour!"

(between 11am and 4pm)

"It's hot so I invited Ren to go fishing, but his face screwed up like a prune and he yelled at me. What's he got against fish?"

Probably the same thing you have against dogs. . . .

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"Phew... Finally finished harvesting all the feed crops for the day... Everyone's health is dependent on their quality, so now's the time to do it right."

(between 8pm and 5am)

"Lotta bugs around this time of year... But they're important for the food chain, so I've gotta take care of them... Argh!! Give it a rest with the buzzing!"

Autumn: (September-November) (between 5am and 11am)

"Hey, nice timing! I'm about to make a fire with the dead leaves I collected so I can bake some potatoes, take a seat!"

(between 11am and 4pm)

"I like the Jabberwock uniforms. They're made out of high-performance fabric that keeps you warm when it's cold out and safe when you're handling venomous critters!"

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"The hibernation squad's gonna start eating us out of house and home this month... The food bill's gonna be rough... Eeek!"

(between 8pm and 5am)

"You reckon that's a rabbit on the moon? No way, it's a toad! C'mon, look closer!"

apparently the pareidolic toad in the moon is a Chinese myth! I wonder if they mean to suggest Haru is actually Chinese.

Winter: (December-February) (between 5am and 11am)

"Rounds are quicker in winter since some of the critters hibernate. Makes things a little easie— Why's the kitchen on fire?!"

(between 11am and 4pm)

"Brr... Can't help but get green-eyed looking at the furry critters when it's this cold..."

(between 4pm and 8pm)

"Nice and toasty... Hm? I'm talking about Peekaboo! He's better than a hot water bottle in this weather!"

Haru putting Peekaboo on your tummy when you're having cramps or just in pain in general is a cute mental image, especially since Peekaboo likes you lol

(between 8pm and 5am)

"It's cold outside so some of the critters have been sneaking into our rooms at night. You heard Ren scream just now, right?"

His birthday: (September 20th)

"It's my birthday?! Oops, totally slipped my mind... Thanks for remembering!"

Your birthday:

"Happy birthday. The Capybus is all yours today—I've got a custom birthday tour all planned out for you!"

New Years: (January 1st)

"Happy New Year! How'd I ring it in? I was milking the cow and when I looked up I'd totally missed the first sunrise! Gahaha!"

Valentine's Day: (February 14th)

"You're kidding, I can really have this?! They say a little sugar helps sweeten a tired day! Thanks a million, this'll keep me going a while!"

White Day: (March 14th)

"Ta-da! I bought you some hand cream, for the chocolate you got me last month. Thanks for everything you do here."

hand cream when you do all of that manual labor and probably have to wash your hands a lot is a really practical gift actually, gg haru

April Fool's Day: (April 1st)

"Can you believe this? Ren got up early, and Towa fed everyone for me! ...Tried to make a joke for April Fools but it just made me feel empty inside..."

Halloween: (October 31st)

"Check it out! The pumpkin Capybus, in town for three days only! I sacrificed sleep and some of our budget to get her ready!"

If it's painted I really hope that paint is waterproof. . .never know when Towa's gonna make it rain. . . .

Christmas: (December 25th)

"Merry Christmas! This is a reindeer, she lives up in the mountains! And I'm Sagara Claus! Gahaha!"

just don't let romeo see it lolol

Idle: (about 20 seconds without interacting with the game) (below 13 affinity)

"Hey there, miss! Looking gorgeous as ever! ...Wait, I was kidding! Come back!"

(13 affinity and above)

"You seem pretty flat out today... Nothing for it, I'll get a few other things out of the way while I wait for you to get back."

Absent: (logging in for the first time in 2 or more days?)

"Phew, that's a relief... I was worried one of ours ate you... Glad to see you back."

Once again. . .an absolute sweetheart. And a single mother who is desperately in need of some help around the house. That April Fool's line really got me lolol poor guy. All of his have a lot of energy to them so i feel like i posted more than Haku, who's kind of a more low key guy lol. . . .

[variantia]

Ren snorts softly, offering a shrug at the idea that such people are just ‘ fans ’ of animals. Anything’s possible, though, right ? “ Oh, yeah, there are lots of those different conventions. Whatever floats people’s boats, I guess … it’s just kinda weird knowing there’s a bunch of people who’d be into me JUST because I have ears and a tail ! Not bad, just … weird. Some people even have the ears that can move. Now, that’s kinda freaky, seeing fake ears move like my real ones do, haha ! ”

He sticks his hands in his pockets, one ear perking up. “ … Yeah, no kidding ? I never got to know my boss’ friend that well. I know his name was Sano … but he only came around when one of us was really hurt or sick. All I really know about him is he was SCARY. It’s … good to see not all of ‘em are like that. I think it’s the whole snake thing and the fangs that give you the creep factor, you know ? Plus … Sano was venomous. Oof. He had a brother too, uhhh … I wanna say his name was Akira. He was a constrictor, though. What’s your friend, uh — Kalyan ? Do you know if he’s venomous or a constrictor ? I think constrictors are… pff, less scary. ”

       “Oh, those people!  Okay okay, I know what you’re talking about now!”  Beams the alien woman, “I just thought at first they were like.. fans of animals or somethin’.”  Black Star notes aloud, which is followed by a small hum.  “One time I saw people in line waiting to get inside a CONVENTION THINGY and a few people had furry ears on their heads, I thought they were kinda cool looking!”

        “Wait, did ‘ya say Naga?”  The Gem’s eyes blink a few times in rapid succession.  “I know a Naga, his name’s Kalyan!”  Black Star’s smile was bright enough to light up a room.  “It’s weird ‘cause at first he scared me.. but I got to know him and he’s not so bad!”

Project ARC remake 16

Weiss: *angry* That Dolt! Why didn't he defend himself? It's like he wants to get killed!?

Ren: *looking at Weiss* I don't think he doesn't want to defend but more so that he is incapable. We saw how efficient he was at dispatching Grimms.

Weiss: That's why i don't get it! He could go toe-to-toe with a deathstalker! Why is he struggling against Cardin!?

Ren: I don't know why, but he is unable to attack anyone. He said it was against protocol, but what was he talking about?

Pyrrha: Maybe where he trained, they couldn't fight in exhibition match? Maybe he only learned how to fight against grimms?

Weiss: *rolling her eyes* Pyrrha, you saw just as i how good he was at dodging and weaving. He knows how to fight.

Pyrrha: Then... Maybe he is a pacifist?

Ren: *Thinking* Then why did he choose to come to Beacon? Why not just take the huntsman exam?

Pyrrha: Why didn't you? Would have been easier than coming all this way from Mistral.

Ren: I'm not really good when it comes to fighting grimm. I know i still have a lot to learn.

Weiss: *sigh* When he's back, i'll ask him.

_________

Ozpin: *looking at the camera footage showing Jaune's inability to retaliate against Cardin* ... There must be a way to overwrite his protocol.

Qrow: *drinking a bit* that would be asking the good doctor to remove it. But then again, he might just want to study him. It's not everyday someone is missing part of their soul.

Glynda: *hitting the table with enough force the marble fissured* I REFUSE! *Panting, her aura trying to heal the broken bones in her hand*

Qrow: *jumping from Glynda outburst*

Ozpin: *sigh* His condition isn't getting better Glynda. You know that, right?

Glynda: *grinding her teeth* He's the reason my brother is in this state! *Sitting down* I was supposed to be there for him...

Ozpin: *sigh* It shouldn't have happened. The fact is, Salem found the right person even though we took precautions. We couldn't have known.

_________

Watts: *looking at Pietro* What is it?

Pietro: *scratching the back of his neck* My daughter is asking for an update on Jaune.

Watts: *annoyed* Well, so am i! That damn kid is still missing in action and we STILL haven't found a body!

Pietro: You seem... worried?

Watts: Well of course i am! Imagine if someone with half a brain took him and retro-engineered him!? He's the first fighting prototype to actually be somewhat as good as yours!

Pietro: *shaking his head* Again with that? Penny is my daughter, not just a project to complete or a work in progress.

Watts: *rolling his eyes* You and your damn feelings, i can't understand, really i can't.

Pietro: Really? So the clothes you buy for each and every A.R.C you make, all of them chosen after carefully asking each what their favorite type of clothes and brand are.

Watts: *groan*

Pietro: *laughing* Ah don't worry, i will not ask about the birthday cake in the fridge.

Watts: ... *Sigh* White, made it for Jaune. We know he is alive, his vitals are still transmitted even if they are inconsistent.

Pietro: I see... Well, i will tell Penny the same news as always.

Watts: *looking at Jaune's Vital, seeing his aura getting from 70 to 71* Hm...

Pietro: *who was leaving* What's wrong?

Watts: Well, nothing wrong per say... His aura stayed at 70 for the last month but... It seems to finally get up? I wonder why.

Lonely- (Platonic yandere! Ozzie x Syren)

Warnings; lonely imp, rules of hell, unfair treatment, real talk, Ozzie actually cares quite a lot, Ozzie is more of a platonic yandere in this,

~~~~~~~~

"Come in, Ren. Take a seat, relax, okay?"

The pink imp did as she was told, already ready for whatever assignment her King may have for her. Such was the way of the bloodline imp. Should the sin they serve require anything, it will be retrieved in their name by their bloodline imp.

"Thank you, Ozzie."

The King of lust had noticed that his faithful bloodline imp seemed more down than usual and he wanted to know how to help. Though Syren was an imp and of far lower station than Ozzie, he cared about her more than he likely should. She had been his loyal confidant for so long that he felt there should be no secrets kept between them as she had helped him at his worst and hyped him up at his best.

"Ren, you know you can tell me anything, right?"

"... Yes, Sir."

"I'm being serious."

"... I know, Sir."

Ozzie let out a sigh, already knowing that getting information from the lovely imp was going to be a process. She was trained to serve Him and His needs, not have needs of her own. It was looked down upon for a bloodline imp to concern themselves with anything other than their master, even when it came to their own feelings.

"Ren, Fizzy and I have been worried about you. You're not acting like yourself and we want to help you."

"There is nothing wrong with me, your Highness."

"Okay, let me rephrase. I have noticed you are more withdrawn and sad. I don't want you to be sad, so I want to help you fix it. I want to know what is bothering you so I can help. I need you to tell me what is upsetting you."

There was a long moment of silence as the bloodline imp slightly curled her lip into a grimace, seeming like even she did not want to talk about whatever was bothering her. Perhaps it was a difficult topic and perhaps it was the way she was raised, but it was clear to Ozzie that Syren was not going to give the information he wanted easily. It was so unusual to every other time he had spoken to her, as she was always forthcoming with information and thoughts. Odds are, Syren was so uncomfortable because she was the topic at hand and rarely ever spoke of herself.

"I... Am lonely. Not in the sense that I want the company of a friend, but in the sense that I long for... Companionship. Courtship."

"Is that all? Ren, honey, you could have just told me. You have my permission to find someone for you to cuddle up to whenever you want."

"It isn't that easy, Highness."

"How so?"

"I- Blood-line imps are untouchables. No imp, human-born demon, succubus, Hell-hound, Goetia, or any other denizen of Hell would touch a blood-line imp. We are not imps the same way others may be. We are royal servants, and others wouldn't dare approach or try to seduce one without fear of the sin relating."

Syren sighed, her eyes seeming glassy as she firmly kept her emotions contained, trying to find the proper words to speak with her King. Ozzie, on the other hand, knew that Syren was right and saw the way his own demons avoided her like a plague.

"Until you choose another blood-line imp for me to breed my replacement, It is likely I will remain 'lonely'. We are born into service, my King, not chosen for it. We are bred to be what our sin wants and we are expected to have no wants of our own. The only creature to show interest in me is highness Fizzarolli's kidnapper, and I refuse to let such a rufian anywhere near either of you. To be alone until presented with a chosen breeding partner of your choice is my burden to bear, not yours, Highness. I'll be fine."

Ozzie felt honest pain at the resignation in his dear friend's voice, wanting to tell her she was wrong and someone was out there waiting for her. The truth was that she was right, and other demons avoided her because of her ties to Him.

"... I'm going to contact the other Sins, see if there is a good match for you out there. Even if there isn't, I will find someone to meet your approval. Lust shouldn't be about force, but something to be earned and enjoyed, and I want you to have someone in your life you can enjoy."

Between the Black and Gray 6

First / Previous / Next

Fen and Ma-ren made their way down station until they reached the main promenade. This was pointedly separate from the Human/K'laxi space and was a much nicer place to walk around. Plants, open spaces, even large windows gave the promenade a breezy, friendly look that the forty third floor lacked.

They rounded a corner and came upon an anonymous shop entrance with the Gren's dotted and slashed script above stating that it was a Gren Familial Association. Fen shook her head. She figured that gangsters were gangsters no matter what species they were.

As she and Ma-ren pushed open the doors and entered the club, the bouncer behind a lectern at the entrance was startled awake. He growled but then saw who it was. "Fen. Ma-ren." He yawned, and his mouthparts stretched as his jaw opened wide. "Tam'itarr is in the back, he's waiting for you."

Fen grunted thanks, and they walked towards the back of the club. It was only mid afternoon now, and the club was mostly empty. A few old regular sat in the large overstuffed chairs the Gren preferred, with a long front instead of a back to accommodate their reverse articulated legs. Ma-ren waved to a few regulars she knew and got mouthpart gestures and grunts of acknowledgement in return.

The back was much the same. Here, a Tylan was cleaning the bar, while a Sefigan was moving chairs and cleaning the floor underneath. They both nodded at Ma-ren and Fen, but did not stop working. Seated in a large, round booth was Tam'itarr with his son Tam and a few other Gren. Fen wasn't an expert at Gren physiology, but Tam looked upset. Tam'itarr however, spread his arms wide.

"Fen and Ma-ren! My favorite refugees! I am so glad you received my invitation to come and say hello. Please, sit! I'll have someone bring you a drink. Ma-ren, I managed to procure a small supply of chamomile, would you like a cup?"

Chamomile Tea, a K'laxi favorite has nearly passed into legend once they left Colonial Space. Ma-ren had never had it, and she would hear stories from her parent's parents about it. Her eyes went wide and her tail flicked. "Sure Tam'itarr, thank you."

"Don't think I have forgotten you either, Fen. In this same shipment, I managed to get ahold of a case of actual Parvatian wine. The real stuff. None of us can drink it, but I'd be honored to let you have a bottle and tell us how it is."

Fen blinked. None of the species here can consume alcohol, so it's hard to come by. There are home fermentations and distilleries of course, but it's all this side of drain cleaner. Fen can't recall seeing a bottle of wine in anything other than a novel or show her entire life.

"S-sure Tam'itarr, thanks. I'll try it and let you know." A Tylan brought out a dusty bottle and handed it to Fen and then disappeared behind the bar. "Tam'itarr, I don't wish to sound ungrateful, but why are you being so nice?"

Tam'itarr chuckled and patted his son on his back. "Tam here told me earlier about his run-in with the newbie. It's been a while since we've had new humans here, and it seems that this one is... different. Vel also mentioned that you and him had gone over to Spyglass and were inside for nearly a whole day."

Ma-ren shrugged and she flicked her tail. "He wanted to see the ship, he's interested in old stuff." The Tylan bartender brought out a steaming mug of tea and set it in front of Ma-ren, and gestured to Fen. She handed him the bottle and he deftly popped the cork. He glugged a measure of burgundy liquid into a glass and offered it to her.

"A new human shows up, deftly avoids my son's welcome wagon-" Tam glared, but said nothing "-and then is taken to Spyglass by you two, stays inside for a day and also knows a lot about 'old stuff'." Tam'itarr leans forward. "You can see why I'm interested, ladies. This human knows things. Whether they are useful things or dangerous things remains to be seen, but I would like to meet him. Please arrange it."

Fen took a sip of the wine. It was much less sour than she thought it would be. It was round and coated her mouth. The wine was on a completely different level than the hooch the local humans made. "Tam'itarr this is amazing" Fen blurted. Tam'itarr leaned back and his mouthparts smiled. "Excellent. Swing by with this human today or tomorrow, and we'll consider everything square." The bartender returned with a small box of tea for Ma-ren and another bottle of wine for Fen.

They exited the social club, gifts carefully wrapped and worked their way back up to their level. On the lift, Ma-ren looked at Fen. "We shouldn't have accepted those gifts."

"Probably not, no." Fen shrugged. "You know as well as I do that you don't say no to Tam'itarr, and at least he is trying to be nice first. We'll ask Gord to come along and meet him. Maybe it's nothing bad."

"Fen, he's a human from who-knows-where who knows a lot about old ships and is apparently way older than he lets on. He said he knew Spyglass."

"He's not a human, remember? He's an AI. I thought that they never left Colonial Space."

"That's what I thought too, but he's here. Maybe he's looking for something"

Fen gestured. "Or he's on the run. Still, Tam'itarr wants to meet him. Gord has already proven he can take care of himself. We'll just be honest. Show him the gifts, explain how he's the local power on the station and say he wants to meet him. I'm sure Gord will go along with it."

Ma-ren wasn't so sure, but she didn't say anything. They dropped off their gifts at home and wandered the floor until they saw Gord. He was sitting on a bench, reading his battered pad. When they approached, he looked up and smiled. "Hi Fen and Ma-ren! How are things?"

Fen nodded. "Not bad Gord. What's up with Spyglass?"

Gord closed the pad and put it down carefully. "She's... doing better. I brought her up to speed more on things and she agrees for now to keep a low profile. I'm hopeful we can scare up some parts to repair her reactors so she has two going. She can move under her own power then. It would be nice to reinstall more, but I don't know if we'll be able to do that here. I'd probably have to head back for something like that" He trailed off.

"Back? Back where Gord?"

He raised an eyebrow. "Back to human space Fen, it's not gone."

"They sure act like it's gone out here Gord. Nobody has ever talked about going home. When any of us asked as kids, we were told it's impossible."

"I could see why your folks would say that yes. Things are... different now than they were when they left. Your families were fleeing the Empire, and they're still around, but life goes on." Gord shrugged. "Most people just keep their heads down and live."

"What's it like? Back in Colonial space?"

Gord looked past them and thought a moment. "It's different than out here. It's hard to explain. Well, no, that's not true. Humans and K'laxi aren't refugees back there. But don't mistake that for more freedom. If you're not a part of the Empire, the best you can hope for is to be left alone, though that never lasts."

"What if you are a part of the Empire?"

Gord smiled wryly. "They don't want people like me, I don't know. I've always been 'part of the problem'. It's just now that we're almost gone, they've turned their attention on others. That's probably why your families left, you became inconvenient and were next up to be 'taken care of.'"

Fen stared at Gord. "You can't go back, can you? You'll be caught and killed."

Gord sighed. "No, I can't really go back. I got away once by the skin of my teeth, and all I had with me were the clothes on my back, my pad and my pack of AI cores. If I go back then I will most likely be killed, yes."

"So you can't go get more reactors for Spyglass."

"Even if I could go back, there aren't anymore Starjumpers. If I had some printable mass, her printers could make more, but it's a long, slow process and it doesn't matter, because we have no printable mass." Gord shook his head. "We're stuck here unless we can make something that doesn't exist." Gord hung his head.

Fen stared at Ma-ren. "Gord, we were... invited to speak with Tam'itarr," Ma-ren said. He's Tam's father and the local gang leader. He wants to meet you."

Gord lifted up his head. "He does? Why?"

Fen crossed her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Really Gord? You got around his son's shakedown and practically ran to Spyglass, something nobody here has been interested in for decades. You caught his attention and he wants to know your deal."

"Okay, okay, that's fair. I should be better at this. I was just so excited to hear that a Starjumper survived."

"Gord, what happened to the Starjumpers?"

"They were destroyed Fen. We were destroyed."

"Who did it? The humans?"

Gord looked up at Fen and Ma-ren. "It's complicated, and painful, and sad. I don't really want to go into any more detail than I have already right now. The short answer is everyone did it, through ignorance and hubris and treachery. We were never a large population, not even in the tens of millions. I have no idea how many are left, either free an autonomous like me, or shackled like Spyglass was. Most old human ships required an AI to operate them. They could have been refitted to be run by a crew, or have a shackled AI to run them but not have any agency. I've seen both." He stood. "You can see why it's important for me to get Spyglass up and fully operational. Ideally she needs four reactors reinstalled, and her two existing ones overhauled. I could name a dozen places that we could take her for that, but if any still exist, we wouldn't be welcome there. If we can do it at all, we're going to have to go about this a different way." When he stopped talking, he blinked, as if he had just parsed what Ma-ren said earlier. "This Tam'itarr is a gangster?"

"That's right Gord. Effectively runs the whole station."

Gord nodded. "Gangsters I can deal with. He might have just the answers I need. I just hope I can afford his price. Let's go meet him."

[pictures: There seems to be several pictures of a few places around Paldea. The first of which, perhaps surprisingly, being the flower field near the former Ruchbah Base, where several of Carmine's Pokemon are playing in the fields. Amarys can be seen in the background, training at the center, and there's a few pictures taken of her battles there. She commands her Pokemon easily even against the onslaught of Fairy types, and if the images are anything to go by, she seems to have secured a victory against Ortega. Though it seems like Linux has learned a new move...?

Anyway, the second set of photos seem to be in Uva Academy; there's at least one picture of Ren checking in with Director Clavell, seeming to speak excitedly about recent times while the older man listens. There's a picture of Amarys speaking with him and another teacher, Jacq, and they appear to be discussing intriguing topics, given the interest on each party's face. There is one where they all stare at the camera, though!

The next to last set of photos appears to be taken in a restaurant in Medali; all three of them have ordered delicious food, and the images all range from general chatter to beautiful food shots. It's clearly a lovely time shared by all.

...And then there's a couple back at Ren's house; Amarys holding what appears to be a photo album in her hands, and she looks through each photograph dutifully. There even seems to be a blank album next to her; something to fill with her own memories. And...there's a picture of Carmine looking through her own photo album with Ren, and no, she's definitely not tearing up a bit--]

Paldea's even more beautiful than I could have imagined. I'll admit it! My expectations were met and then some, and Ren took us to some of the most delightful places. I really can't thank them enough for showing us around!

I'm taking Ren clothing shopping tomorrow morning, and tomorrow evening, our flight back to BBA goes out. It's almost surreal, but I can't wait to get back to learning; there's a lot of things I want to do now, and I've got all of the time and energy in the world now to tackle them head-on.

...

Though, I am going to kick Ren's rear end in for managing to surprise me! We'd been working on a surprise for my darling since we first went off to Kitakami, and I wanted to do something nice for our six month anniversary--see those photo albums? One of Ren's friend's grandma, she makes these beautiful handmade photo albums with the help of her Spidops, and they're a sight to behold! Along with the memories inside. But this brat! They went and made one for us and our adventures! There were photos I never expected to see ever again in there, and...ugh! My heart can't take it! So I demanded to be able to take them clothes shopping; no second hand, and absolutely no school uniforms!

You should have seen my beloved's reaction, though. I felt a little bad keeping it a secret for so long, but seeing her face...well, it was worth it. ♥

Ren's gone out for a little bit with her, and I'm staying behind and watching the house, and playing with this...video game system they have, for the moment. I can't read any of the text to this game I'm playing, but I'll ask them about it later; it's a rather cute game, though, if nothing else.

My Bumbleby Rant (Don't Worry I Ship It)

Bumbleby antis who insist that Bumbleby is forced or poorly written or wasn't planned from the beginning piss me off so bad. I clicked on this video and I haven't even begun watching it but the comments alone have me heated because nigga what (I am black do not worry).

Bumbleby is written exactly like Renora (not exactly, exactly) and yet I hear no complaints. While yes Renora are impiled to have huge crushed on one another in volume 1 they don't do anything with it until volume 4! Even then it's mostly in the background of their interactions in an arc that's about Ren. Renora really doesn't kick off until volume 7!

Same with Bumbleby, while their interactions in volume 1 aren't overtly romantic by the time we get to volume 2 and 3 something fruity was cooking in the writing room. In volume 2 Yang and Blake have their heart to heart in Burning the Candles which you can say isn't romantic but the framing of the scene says otherwise.

It's in golden hour, Yang is so very gentle with Blake even when angry with her. Yang winks at Blake at the end of the convo and says "I'll save you a dance" and the look on Blake's face as Yang walks away. The dance thing is also something I want to meation because that whole dance was just a plot device to futher romantic subplots and villain shenanigans. But the fact that Blake shares a dance with both Yang and Sun, her two most prominent love intrests, could mean nothing.

Also in Volume 2 when WBY have their talk in Montain Glenn and Blake is being very hard on herself it is Yang that attempts to reassure her.

However it is volume 3 where yall bitches should have known what time it was. After Yang and Mercury's fight, where everyone believes that Yang attacked him for no reason and their sitting in RWBY's dorm room. Blake is hesitant to fully believe Yang because of her experience with Adam but after being Yang looks Blake in the eye reassures her that she didn't hurt Mercury out of maliciousness Blake lays the whole thing to bed.

(sidenote that scene is a wonderful display of communication and character growth on Blake's part and shows just how far she had come because volume 1 and 2 Blake would have never have done that)

Yang and Adam, Blake's ex-BYFRIEND, are being directly paralleled in this scene. Then the scene where Adam cuts off Yang's arm. Adam just before Adam stabs Blake he tells her "He will make it his mission to destory everything she loves" which is line that screams LOVE INTREST ENTER STAGE RIGHT.

Yang throws herself at Adam in an effort to protect Blake (there are tears in her eyes btw) and we all know what happens next. The next time we see Blake and Yang, Blake is holding Yang's hand while sobbing as she apologizes for what happened. These moments scream romance to me because of similar scenes between love intrests in other media but also because it sets up a conflict between Adam and Yang.

The writers in volume 3 set up a conflict between Yang and Blake's ex-boyfriend and I'm supposed to buy that they didn't plan for Bumbleby to be canon? Really? Also Yang and Adam's semblances are simailr something we knew about these two characters long before that was revealed in the show in volume 6. Meaning the parallels between these two were something the writers had planned out for years at that point.

disclaimer for next part: I love Black Sun do NOT take this as ship war nonsense. I'm just talking about people who leverage against Blacksun against Bumbleby. This is NOT an attack on the ship.

This meme is literaly me. I am a firm believer in the Blake has two hands agenda. Why have just one bubbly blonde when you can have two?

anyway back to the show.

If CRWBY had planned for Blacksun to be canon and they only switched gears to Bumbleby in volume 6 then why doesn't Sun have any conflict with Adam? As far as I know he doesn't even interact with that man but Yang does. What reason would they have for paralleling Yang and Adam if Bumbleby wasn't planned by the writers? Like get so serious.

Also within volume 4 and 5 you have both Blake and Yang pinning after one another. When Blake is having her talk with Sun after he is injuried by Ilia her voice literaly breaks when she says Yang's name. The volume 4 opening has Blake looking off to the side at Yang. It's so clear that Yang is the main reason between Blake's spiral.

Yang is so upset with Blake leaving in volume 3 and is still upset about it in volume 5. The whole reason Weiss and Yang's talk in volume 5 chapter 8 even happens is because Yang is upset with Blake for leaving. Also Blake and Yang can also be parallel with Taiyang and Raven, Yang's parents and canonical romantic pairing.

Like yes, Blacksun had some really great moments in volume 4 and 5 and Like Morning Follows Night is an absolute banger however I don't think they were endgame. Over the volumes they're interactions start to feel platonic more than romantic, even in the earlier volumes they're interactions aren't that romantic when compared with other ships. Still love them as a pairing tho and I'll alway find them so much fun.

Well that's it. I don't know how to end this. (I still need to finish that essay about Tauradonna, Blacksun, and Bumbleby. I'll try to work on it later.)

[internals1ut]

Hello yes i would like to read about Leo bothering ren while he plays video games :)

This is how I am looking at you anon.

*＊✿❀　❀✿＊*

18+/nsfw/minors gtfo

Leo came to Ren because he had a game that he was wanting to play. He came in and Ren was already nose deep into a game.

Leo made it known that he was there and all he got was a "yeah" from Ren. This left Leo annoyed, how dare this boy ignore him?!

Leo whined and complained, acting like he didn't know how to play the game, sitting next to Ren, getting all cuddle like to him.

Ren moved away, telling him he needs that arm to play his game. Leo got pissed off, why was he even here?! He doesn't even want to play the game , he only wants it because it was popular online and he wanted to keep up with the trend! Plus it gave him an excuse to chat with Ren!

Ren doesn't really show interest, why should he chat with Leo anyways? He just wanted the game.

Leo reminded him that he didn't know how to play the game. So he needed to be taught. Ren told him that he didn't feel like it.

Leo leaned onto Ren and locked arms with him. He gave some puppy eyes to him but it didn't work since Ren was busy with the games.

"I can give you some motivation to help me"~ Leo hummed as he kissed his cheek. It made a little shock at Ren's face.

"Is the motivation head"?

"Motivation is head"!

"Can I still play my games"? " You have a cute boy offering to give you head, and you still want to play games"? "... Yes"?

Ren was still able to play games, Leo was already undoing Ren's pants to take off his dick out of the pants... Ren didn't budge, he was back being nose deep in the game.

But the reality is, Ren was freaking out on the inside, he was panicking, was he supposed to do something here?! What was he supposed to do with his hands?! He is only good with his games! He hands move better on games than on a twink!

Leo's mouth took Ren's dick in his mouth and hummed as he pushed his head down and up, with his pierced tongue rubbing against the length.

It was a good feeling - Ren groaned but his hands focused more on the games. The feeling of the jewelry was pressing on his length, it was like a little ball massage.

The moment Ren got to a point when he could pause his game, he looked away from his game screen and to the pretty boy who was having his mouth filled with his dick.

Ren moaned softly as his flushed face watched the boy move his head. Leo glanced up while the dick was still in his mouth. Seeing Ren was so confused on what to do was kind of amusing. He guided the other's hand onto his head and patted his head before helping to show how to push his head if he wanted to.

Ren didn't push his head, but he was patting his head, but he did thrust his hips into Leo's mouth to slightly throat fuck him... He needed some revenge for his game being interrupted.

Ren finished inside of Leo's mouth, Leo opened his mouth to show off the seed in his mouth, and even him swallowing it.

This was all done right? They were done with all this and Leo is gonna leave right? He watched as Leo was getting up so he assumes he was leaving, so he went back to his game.

What Ren didn't watch, was Leo was taking off his own pants and getting on Ren's lap, sitting down once he lined up the dick with his hole and he lowered on it to sit on his lap.

Both were mixed with a groan and moans.

It was so warm and it felt nice being inside something, Ren wanted to thrust inside.

"Nah nah nah ~ You made it clear you wanted your games more than me until the moment I gave you head~ Go and play your games, I'll stay right here"~

Oh how will Ren survive this? It's not easy when LEO IS SLOWLY RIDING HIM?! OR JUST COCK WARMING HIM!!!! Ren might as well perish away.

How did he get in this situation?? All he wanted to do was play his games peacefully!!! Now he is suffering with Leo's warmth wrapping around his dick, the walls were taunting him by squeezing him inside. How did he get in this situation.......?

...... Not that he was going to complain, a pretty boy on him, and he can play his games? He won't complain no more.

Another thing to add is when they are having sex is about Leo riding Ren on the bed and in the middle of pure pleasure. "Hey we should take a photo and send it to Sho and we can make him jelly~! So he pulls out his phone to take a photo while still on Ren and his dick and Ren is just freaking out.

I hope you enjoy it, they are literally the air I breathe. I LOVE ShoLeo so much but I adore RenLeo so much but nothing tops RenLeoSho 😌

Also feel free to join my discord linked on @internalscream1ng carrd in my bio on there!

“ Listen, it’s … it’s not really that hard a concept, is it ?? Yeah, I introduce myself as Hana Ren. But that’s just the naming convention certain cultures use ! Hana is my surname. My first name is REN. Is it really that confusing ? Aaaah … maybe I should go back to introducing myself as ‘just Ren’. ”

i'm cleaning out my following, scaling it down, actually removing blogs i don't interact with at all & blogs that followed us first but make no effort to interact. i know it's a two way street and there isn't always an opportunity to engage so i'll be keeping that in mind while i go through my list. new followers are safe, obviously, and this is nothing personal. i just need a smaller and more comfortable space so i can keep up.

i haven't gotten my ships down on my carrd yet but i added some new information to clear some things up. i hate the word picky but i am going to be picky with ships and here's why:

i do not play favorites with ships but inspiration varies from day to day. i don't want anyone i ship with to compare our ship to another ship of mine ( i won't do that to you! ) and i can't stress enough how complicated it can be to ship with ren. i will not sacrifice important parts of his character for a ship by forcing him to be/act differently. he doesn't show his affection in the traditional way nor will he have an easy time saying things like i love you etc. chemistry is key & every ship develops at a different pace. ren being more open in ship A compared to ship B does not at all mean that i have a preference for that ship and/or that i am purposely doing something to discourage you from shipping with us.

i understand that you might have a muse that ( for lack of better words ) is "clingy" and/or needs verbal reassurance that ren can't offer easily. that's okay! if you still want to ship & the chemistry is there we might be able to make it work as long as there's good communication ooc. i love all your muses but if this is going to be a problem that bleeds into ooc interactions or turn into pettiness or me/ren being ignored without me knowing why ooc then i'm going to ask you not to ship with us.

with all of this said i am so incredibly grateful for all of you who stick around and interact and show interest in my dumb little man. with uni starting on monday i will have a little less free time but i'm studying at 50% and from home so i know i'll still have lots of time to be here and write but i want to get this out of the way before monday just to make it easier on me.

ok so can you explain how nnd have more buildup then other ships (not a rant)

Is the "not a rant" like, an instruction for me? Because I am very bad at not going off on a rant but the good news is I'm not currently interested in giving the full overview anyways so I'll stick to the main points of their buildup.

This is going backwards a little but looking at volume 9, I mean, it's pretty clear? Penny's death is a big part of Ruby's current breakdown and it's because Penny is so deeply important to Ruby. And when you consider how different parts of the scene with Neo's constructs are framed? When not!Penny starts talking, everything goes quiet. No fighting, no running, just not!Penny talking to Ruby, and Ruby listening. This is where you put the love interest in a scene all about an antagonist using the protagonist's emotional weak spots!

Neo was trying so hard to hit Ruby where it hurts, and all the other attempts include physical violence, but this? This just just emotional. This is what Neo thinks will hit the hardest, and from a meta-perspective it's what the writers think is the most meaningful part.

Going back though, I feel like it's a little bit obvious to tell how important Ruby is to Penny, right? Like, we all know that? First friend, first to treat her like a person, etc. etc.

The other way around, up to v3 there's not that much for how important Penny is to Ruby, really. I'll accept that. There's nothing necessarily distinguishing Ruby's grief over being too late to save Penny from her grief over being too late to save Pyrrha later either. But v7 is when Penny returns, and it's interesting! Really interesting!

This is where Penny starts getting consistently framed as Ruby's love interest. It's like that one post about her return in v7e1, "goddamn anime love interest framed by the fucking moon", if I'm quoting it right. And the v7 intro showing an image of a very happy Penny at the end of the phrase "in time you'll find through love your power just shines" is also some love interest framing. Then of course the election night episode pairs up a couple of characters, Ren and Nora of course, Blake and Yang going dancing, and then... Ruby and Penny hanging out. And of course the repeated important conversations happening, and the thing where Ruby almost fell asleep on Penny's shoulder which is just like, such a ship tease moment.

But v7 isn't that clear about it, so I get if that's not very convincing. I think it's more than any other ship has but the really big stuff gets there in v8.

The volume where they really Cannot Stop Hugging, and where Ruby promises they'll see eachother again soon, and Ruby's silver eyes are (not for the first time!) suddenly able to activate when Penny's in danger, and Ruby holds onto Penny so tightly - so afraid to let go because something is wrong and she can't lose Penny, and they all use the relic of creation to save Penny before they do anything else (and yeah I hate that scene but it's meaningful and I won't deny that it's meaningful), and yeah saving Penny is the theme of the volume because she was the winter maiden but for Ruby it's not about that. She can't lose Penny.

And then she loses Penny and she literally passes out the moment she finds out.

To bring it all back down to something simple, when the antagonist torments the protagonist with someone close to her saying the words "can you imagine what that's like? To be completely and utterly failed, time and again, by someone who meant the world to you?" after which the protagonist is more distraught then we've seen her all volume, in a volume all about how distraught she is all the time? That person meant the world to the protagonist too.

So yeah, I'm inclined to say they've got more buildup than any noncanon ships, you are free to point something out to me if there's a ship with a ton of buildup that I'm somehow missing but like... I'd be shocked.

Aci i am looking 👀 at the avatar au u say about 👀

👀 Imagine... for some reason, the world is in disarray. The four nations are divided, not by like war but by like geography and just general isolationism (including the north and south tribes of the water nation from each other). Scar is just your run of the mill water tribe kid, never showed any signs of having any other element. And he grew up with bestie Cub, the two of them having been raised by the village elders after Something™ happened to each of their parents. And they've grown up into fine waterbenders, but have never had any reason to even want to leave, knowing nothing about the outside world.

Grian, an airbender, decides to go searching for the avatar for... reasons... watcher reasons... and crashlands in the south pole, where he's found and rescued by Scar and Cub. He doesn't realize Scar is the avatar for like half a day, thinking he's just some waterbender, but something happens that makes him realize and he confronts Scar about how he's not "doing his job" and reuniting the nations and all that stuff, to which he just gets confused staring and has that Oh Shit moment of realizing Scar doesn't know. How a man can go 20+ years without knowing he's the avatar, well, Grian certainly doesn't know, but whatever the watchers are planning Grian's purpose is won't be successful if Scar can't use the other elements. He manages to convince Scar to go traveling the world with him, telling him stories about the world outside the water tribe. Unfortunately Grian wasn't counting on Cub tagging along...

Mumbo as a nonbending citizen of the fire nation, him relying on technology and inventing all these really cool things... but still being overlooked bc he's a nonbender in a family of benders... wanting to prove something to the world (and himself), so when Grian, Scar and Cub stumble into his little town and get to know him, and they offer him (against Grian's protests) to come see the world with them... well, who is he to say no to that? It's not like his rich bending family would even notice he's gone... right? He'll just take his tools and his blueprints and go on the greatest adventure of his life and maybe accidentally get dragged into whatever Grian's planning...

Cleo as a master firebender, participating in underground firebending rings as the undefeated champion... secretly like the cousin of the crown prince(ss) or something, so fucking bored of palace life... just wanting a little more out of life than what she has... stumbling across the others and quickly figuring out Scar is the avatar... coyly blackmailing them into letting them join... "Oh, no, yeah, that's fine. I mean, sure, if I stay in town I might slip up and tell someone very official that the avatar has been found, but yeah- go ahead, it'll be fine. I'll just be here, alright? Talking in these... very official circles, drinking some very good drinks- well, who knows what might slip, but it's okay, everything is fine- oh, what's that? You want me to come with you? Well, I don't know... hmm, alright then." :)

BDubs as an earth bender who loves to garden... living in a communal home with Ren, Etho and Martyn (earthbender, nonbender, nonbender),... Scar accidentally destroying his garden beyond like any chance of recovery, and BDubs dragging his roomies/boyfriend(s) into basically following Scar & Co. to try and "make them pay" for destroying his garden and ending up saving them... becoming friends with them.... (getting a certain firebender's attention ofc bc I'm me...)

Just 👀 Picture it. It's just a giant messy roadtrip story where nothing bad happens at all, all sunshine and roses yep, definitely no airbending cult extremists manipulating and pulling Grian's strings at all, absolutely no need for terrible realizations and feelings of betrayal and redemption and Grian having to make a choice between the family he'd always known and the family and the men he'd come to love no siree
