I never thought about the multiple variations of when Dorothy was married as Sophia trying to publicly protect her but wow. I do wonder how much Dorothy understands Sophia is protecting her, because there's definitely Complicated Feelings between them and it seems like maybe Dorothy sees Sophia's disappointment/anger first (do they ever mention how Sal felt? I remember Dorothy saying she always thought he wasn't proud of her or something but idk if it was related to her pregnancy ... also gotta wonder how it effected her relationship with Gloria and Phil)

Hii anon! If you'd like a more in-depth take on Sophia protecting Dorothy through the inconsistency of her stories I highly(!!) recommend the lovely @the-eclectic-wonderer 's post on Dorothy's age when she married Stan (I haven't looked the same at Sophia since!)

I've got a lot of things to say about this, so I'm putting my thoughts under the cut to avoid clogging people's dashes haha

I personally think Dorothy doesn't really know the extent of how much Sophia cares for/protects her in those moments (& those moments specifically, because I feel like she's otherwise pretty attuned to the way Sophia shows affection? They've got pretty similar problems around opening up with other people and several of their scenes together show that they've sort of found a way around this!) But their general relationship aside, it's pretty clear in several instances that Dorothy is hurt by Sophia's remarks on her marriage with Stan, her pregnancy, etc — so I can't help but think she's not too aware of what Sophia is doing, trying to help and protect her? Especially when, in a lot of cases, she could've just said nothing and avoided hurting Dorothy entirely; there's usually a less hurtful path involved, but Sophia purposely chooses to make her remarks. Whether or not they're constructed to protect Dorothy in one way or another, she still makes the choice to hurt her too (although, knowing Sophia, I doubt she's fully aware of the effects her words have? Idk, that's some food for thought!)

It seems like this isn't a topic either of them has ever been too willing to discuss, let alone openly and emotionally. Sophia tends to deal with things with jokes and nasty comments, and Dorothy seems to shut everyone out entirely. I'm not sure where I'm going with this exactly haha, but what I'm trying to say is their coping methods are too far apart (and too similar) for the opportunity for any real, constructive conversation about this to have occurred? So maybe Sophia is reaching out to Dorothy in her way (the only way she knows how to) and Dorothy... Well, I think she mentioned it genuinely hurts her at some point (though I'm not sure if that was in response to a Stan-related comment or something else) which I think means we can conclude she doesn't see the deeper layer behind Sophia's behaviour — or maybe she does, but it doesn't take away the hurt?

As for Sal: I believe Dorothy mentioned something about his reaction in S5, E13: Mary Had A Little Lamb. I don't remember her speech in its entirety, but she mentioned something about "Only having one parent [Sophia]" for a while, so I think Sal took it a lot less well than Sophia.

Good point about Gloria and Phil too!! I genuinely have no clue. We do know Dorothy's a lot older than both of them (I think she was 7 when Phil was born, and if I remember correctly, it's implied that he was the middle sibling?) so if Dorothy was 17 when she got pregnant and married Stan, it means Phil and Gloria were 10 and under. She was, by all accounts, An Adult to them already — so it might not have damaged their relationship, so much as changed their perception of her? I'm sure they could've been a lot closer if Dorothy had been allowed to stay at home and be a child for longer than she was. As it is, I can't help but wonder if they ever saw her as their peer or more like an older relative?

[punkforkos]

Hullo!!! Can I please ask about Dante?? :D what's their story?? :D

Hi!! Yes ofc you can!! <3

Here's a really brief overview that I wrote in another post (which also includes their tattoo lore and some fun facts, if you were interested in reading that!)

Dante Inferno (they/he) is my drow fathomless warlock, pirate captain, and awful babygirl who wants the world to burn. Dante took on their warlock pact to gain power and bring suffering to those who wronged them and hopefully find the daughter that was stolen from them many years ago. However, this pact comes at a price... it's actually Dante's misery that their patron is most interested in. 🥀 Unfortunately, they may be in too deep to figure this out!! For years, they've been self-destructing and falling deeper into corruption... and are quickly hurtling towards a future where they may be left with nothing of who they once were.

But I'll also include a longer version below the cut that goes into some of the details of their story!! (Also- I wrote a section at the bottom explaining why I think Dante would get along with Bad End Husk :D )

-- HERE'S THE LONG(ER) VERSION -- (This is still a shortened version of events, go down below this if you want like. the FULL version. I threw in their toyhouse link there!)

Dante comes from a rough part of the Underdark where they grew up impoverished and neglected, but the only thing that really kept them going was a dream to one day get out of that shithole. And in a way, they got their dream,,,! However, they only clawed their way out of the Underdark when they realized they were pregnant and needed to save their kid from the upbringing he was subjected to. Dante wanted far better for his daughter. She became their entire world, their incentive, something good to look forward to. She gave their life meaning,,, For three years, they were able to live on the surface in a local kingdom populated by other drow who also escaped from the Underdark. Those were the happiest years of Dante's life, but they weren't to last. Unfortunately, it was discovered that Dante didn't come into the surface kingdom through the proper channels, so they decided to send them back. However, they would keep Dante's daughter because she never became baptized under Spider Queen society... They dragged Dante away from their daughter kicking and screaming. However, he managed to cut an X into his daughter's cheek as a desperate last resort, promising that they would find her again someday. And then they were brought back to the Underdark and sent reeling into a deep depressive spiral. The only thing that motivated them was the thought of returning back to their daughter..... and making everyone who hurt them pay. This anger, grief, and desperation eventually made them seek out a patron who would help give them all the power they needed to leave the Underdark again and achieve all of their goals. They stumbled across Znn'lusca, a demon who feeds on despair... and she only asked that Dante cause as much misery as possible in exchange for her powers. He agreed, immediately having a plan in mind to kill two birds with one stone-- They ended up making another pact with the Spider Queen herself, promising to send all of the escaped drow back into the Underdark (because if they didn't let Dante escape, he wouldn't show them any mercy either). In exchange, the Spider Queen wouldn't pursue Dante and try to force them back either, so long as they brought her "lost children" back. With these new pacts formed, Dante makes it back to the surface and they are told to focus on gaining power before going after their kid. Zinn played into their fear of being forced back into the Underdark again, planting seeds of doubt in their mind that kept them from attempting to seek out their daughter. Every time Dante would bring up going after her, Zinn would talk them out of it and reroute their thoughts. Because... little did Dante know but their despair was the tastiest of all, and the longer they went without their daughter, the richer it became. 15 years pass. Dante is now an established cutthroat pirate captain who uses a submarine as a ship... trafficking escaped drow back to the Underdark on the side, forgetting their original goals and who they were before the hurt with each day that passes. And then they get thrown into jail and the campaign starts from there,,!! TLDR: Dante is in SO much trouble AFSGH they're stuck in a web they can't get out from,,, being in a pact with not one but two demons who do not wish anything good for him. And he's still missing his daughter so bad,, and he is miserable and angry and hates everyone.

✨📌 If you wanted even MORE details that I left out here (a lot of the in-between stuff and more about Dante's actual campaign, party members, etc), you can read all about it here on their Toyhouse!! <<3

(Thanks for reading all of this if you got this far btw!!)

-------------------------------------------------

WHY DANTE WOULD LIKE BAD END HUSK:

Also, to elaborate on why I think Dante would enjoy bad end Husk-- Husk is exactly the type of patron Dante would have gravitated towards, being the lord of "secrecy and cunning revenge" and plotting the downfall of their enemies. That's the kind of thing Dante wants oh so badly rn!! It's the reason why they ended up making a pact with their actual patron. The desire for power, the ambition, but most of all-- feeling so wronged and wanting everyone who ever hurt them and their daughter to suffer.

Dante is a conniving backstabber, the ultimate betrayer... a liar by nature. The word 'treachery' has been carved into their back in Abyssal/Deep Speech. They have only learned how to survive and sometimes that means using everyone around you as a stepping stool. In the end, the only people who matter are themself and their daughter. (But truly deep down, they're just a REALLY hurt person who is lashing out in the wrong ways. They're just scared, angry, and sad. And they easily fall into corruption and pacts with big bad entities SGHDJK)

Hello, if I may ask, do you have any headcanons about enjolras and courfeyrac in the umw universe?

Hello!! I'm about to become an unskippable cutscene 😃

I can't quite remember if any of this has already been mentioned in Enjolras POV chapters but I'll just list everything I've got lol:

- They met when they were seven years old. I've never thought all that much about their parents since they don't feature in the story (though it's safe to assume that Enjolras was already fairly estranged from his parents by the time he became a hunter) but I've always had it in my head that they were initially shoved together because their parents were part of the same social circle and did that thing where they decided their kids should also be friends. I think this happened a lot to both of them as kids and generally didn't work out, especially for Enjolras, who was a shy, serious sort of child and often considered either intimidating or just plain weird by his peers, but on this one occasion it turned out well! Courfeyrac immediately considered Enjolras to be extremely smart and cool, and while Enjolras (unused to positive feedback) was a little unsure of this at first, he quickly realised that Courfeyrac was genuine and they've been best friends ever since.

- They are a classic case of an extrovert adopting an introvert.

- Enjolras has always struggled with making friends—Courfeyrac was really his only close friend through their earlier years at school, but Courfeyrac is very outgoing and gregarious and has a lot of love to give and so he always had a lot of friends, and there were definitely times when Enjolras felt sort of jealous of that, and worried that Courfeyrac would lose interest in him in favour of others. It never happened, of course.

- They met and befriended Joly and Bossuet in their first year at high school, and Marius in their first year of university. 

- Their friendship has always confused onlookers since they seem so different, but they actually do have quite a lot in common, and the ways that they are different work to their advantage: Courfeyrac sometimes does need someone to be the voice of reason and responsibility, Enjolras sometimes needs someone to tell him to lighten up.

- Courfeyrac has always been the more emotionally intelligent of the two, but he used to joke that this was the only area in which he was more intelligent than Enjolras because for a long time he didn't consider himself particularly academically smart and would be quite self-deprecating about it. Enjolras never agreed with this assessment and Courfeyrac eventually grew out of the notion, which mainly stemmed from how the adults in their lives perceived him and his more boisterous personality.

- Courfeyrac is bisexual and figured that out pretty quickly as a young teenager. He had a lot of crushes throughout high school and dated quite a few people and Enjolras was woefully unequipped to deal with the emotional turmoil of these teen relationships but did his best to be supportive. For a while they both thought that Enjolras just hadn't reached “the stage” of being interested in dating etc yet, but after a while they realised that this supposed transformation didn't seem to be forthcoming and decided to do some research, leading to Enjolras happily using the aro/ace label for a few years. He was extremely alarmed when he later did develop an interest in a fellow student at university, leading to further research and an understanding that catching feelings is something that happens to him very occasionally. When he least expects it, you might say 👀

- Truly there's a whole slice of life teen drama here that I could get into if I wasn't too busy writing the monster-hunting plot 😂

- Enjolras really struggled with his decision to leave Lyon to pursue hunting without telling Courfeyrac, to the point that I have often daydreamed of an AU where everything is exactly the same except Enjolras ultimately couldn't go through with it and Courfeyrac ends up going with him.

- The characters have developed a lot in the ridiculous amount of time UMW has been ongoing, and I think if I was writing the earlier chapters now, knowing what I know, that Enjolras would have tried to explain to Courfeyrac where he was going, or told some lie to reassure him, or done something other than just vanishing and assuming Courfeyrac would get over it. I don't think him taking off the way he did in the story makes the most sense now, with how much weight their friendship has been given. But I'm locked into it by me from 10 years ago 😂

Hi! I am coming at you about the "hozier album //Jason Todd" repost you made, in which you stated that you would take no criticism and, should someone come at you, you would rant line by line about it

I don't particularly disagree with you, but as a hozier and jason todd fan I need to hear more about this!!!!

Ohhh ho ho ho ok I have been SAVING this ask as a little treat because I was so excited when it came in but I've realised if I keep saving it I won't answer it! So! Here we go.

I'm gonna use the first songs from his newest and oldest albums for this (originals not special editions)- only doing a few lines from each or this post will go on forever- but if you send me a specific track, I will do an analysis of linking it back to Jason! There are very very few songs that I cannot do this with.

First up- Take Me To Church! Arguably Hozier's most famous song.

It starts off with these lines:

I think of this one mainly in regards to Robin Jason. Jason was originally a very bubbly, happy character- before he was originally killed off. In future Robin-Jason comics, whilst still maintaining that very Robin sense of humour, he's more volatile and seems to make light of situations he shouldn't- lining up with this first verse. The following "Knows everybody's disapproval" aligns with every comic of Jason since being written with the knowledge that he was disliked as Robin, with several going so far as to have the public in-universe dislike him, too; and with the follow-up of the regret felt when Jason had actually been killed. A lot of voters had expressed being shocked because they didn't believe he would actually be killed off based on the results of the infamous poll, and many in the present who feel Jason was treated unfairly: hence, "They should've worshipped (him) sooner".

I especially enjoy these lines in reference to Jason:

"No masters or kings when the ritual begins" When Jason comes back to life, there is nobody there for him- no welcoming arms of his father, and no condemning hands of his enemies. He is entirely alone; not directly aided in his resurrection by anyone, left to crawl out of his grave on his own.

"There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin" Jason was entirely oblivious to the fact that becoming Robin was viewed as a "sin" not just by the viewers, who disliked him for replacing Dick Grayson (as he was, originally, written as a Dick clone, pretty much) but also by Dick, who resented Bruce for passing on the mantle without checking with Dick first, and thus resenting Jason in turn for unwittingly stealing it from him: but Jason was oblivious, and sweet, and claimed it gave him magic. He wanted to help people and do good; and these actions led to his death. Another play on it is that the innocent and childish need to meet his mother *also* led to his death.

"In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene" I enjoy paralleling between his death and resurrection here. Once again pulling back to the warehouse for the madness part- I personally imagine choppy cuts between the Joker swinging a crowbar to Jason's fingers digging out of the grave. On a different scenario, the line "Only then, I am human" I enjoy the idea of having Jason fighting to swim out of the Pits, lashing out immediately at whomever was closest, to push the bitter irony that without the murderous Mountain Dew he would've still been catatonic and living on the streets. Then it would be juxtaposed with perhaps the dozen-heads-duffel-bag for the following, "only then I am clean", to reference how he feels he is "cleaning up" the streets and making Gotham safer.

Next up is De Selby Part 1- We're starting in the coffin with these opening lines, babey!

This song makes me distraught over how Jason it is to me. I especially in this regard feel the verse, "That God at the start couldn't bear" is very fitting, as Jason was dead for months before coming back to life, as if God was reluctant to allow him to return to the suffering He knew Jason would thus be subject to.

Jason was catatonic for two years before being dunked in the Pit- but I think this line, too, speaks to the innate horror of having died a 15-year-old, and gained your consciousness at 18. He went through the brunt of puberty completely unaware; I have to believe he didn't recognise his reflection as his own, at first- I even imagine he may have seen Willis, instead, and if that isn't a true horror in itself? You no longer recognise yourself as you, but the face in the mirror is still familiar as the one of your abuser. Yikes. Still, for these lyrics specifically, I think the first applies better: Not recognising himself post-Lazarus, feeling disconnected from his body.

For this song I also want to note these lines:

These lines specifically give me CHILLS for Jason. Going from Robin, who is the light to Batman's darkness, to the Red Hood- shadows and resentment and pain. And the way he "transformed" -a la murder Mountain Dew- on top of the fact that as someone brought back from the dead, he is technically an unwilling subject of necromancy- very much hammers the "Is claochlú an ealaín/Is ealaín dubh í" home. Yeah.

Thank you so much for this ask! I love being able to talk about songs I associate with Jason- ESPECIALLY Hozier ones.

Hi! Hope you don't mind getting asks.

First of all, fantastic username.

Second, Zhuang Yan being a paid actress is the only thing that makes sense. What I think the book was trying to tell me is that some intelligence agent said to her "hey, the wallfacer is gonna fall in love with you, and we need to use that to get him to help with the alien invasion thing, so if you care about humanity at all you know what you must do" and she's fresh out of art school in the middle of a global crisis, being offered to live in a mansion in Switzerland for free and do as much art as she wants.... I understand her. But that entire arc was honestly the only thing I'd describe as far-fetched and unrealistic in the whole saga.

I'm halfway through book 3 tho so I may not have all the information about their divorce yet

Thanks for your tags, they made me laugh! Have a nice day!

hello!! I love asks, thanks for sending this in!

haha finally someone who got the username reference :D

About Zhuang Yan: What you said makes a lot of sense!! I realized shes probably an actor a long while after I finished the book tbh 😭 there's no way in hell they found someone who would say the exact same sentences as his imaginary girlfriend—imagine having to script that though; I would be so confused.... in hindsight I just feel kind of bad for her. I can totally see the offer you described, and you really can't say no can you? Both as a normal person just thrown into this mess, and as a civilian with less authority than a literal Wallfacer.. sigh. I wonder if she knew what she was getting into when she got brought to live with Luo Ji.. It's a generous offer, but having a child within 5 years is such a commitment for someone just graduated who used to have a completely separate life before this 😭 I can imagine her real personality was essentially what Luo Ji saw, but I don't quite believe Zhuang Yan loved him as much as he thought, especially considering her background-music-like sadness and the later divorce lol.

indeed, waifu finding arc was ?? the rest of the book was pretty good, the politics and general attitude changes towards the wallfacers were especially interesting. plotwise this probably is my favorite out of the three

omg very excited for you to finish death's end! I have mixed feelings about the ending but no spoilers for now I want to see your thoughts :0 have a nice day too!!

was there any consensus about mercury magic?

-- wizorb 🔮

Well, most agree that it's the state of matter, not the elemental composition that actually denotes the category of magic. Therefore, mercury magic would be classed as aquemancy at room temperature, but that would change depending on if it was cold enough to solidify. Some scholars continue to (very heatedly) argue that its more metallic properties (like high conductivity) still class it as metallomancy, but for the average Joe Shmoe, what matters is that it's liquid.

If you wanna get into some more of the technical details of it...

In this setting, magic is performed by taking ambient mana and causing it to take on an "alignment." "Alignment," in this case, referring to some physical object or phenomenon in your environment. Additionally, ambient mana is everywhere, all the time, flowing through everything.

So, if you're sitting in a room with a glass of water, the mana passing through the water at that moment is water-aligned, and if you can reach out to that mana and use it to move the water, that makes you an aquemancer.

Theoretically, you could be a "mancer" of anything. In the first place, this category system (used by the magicians of the Central Basin) is actually kind of outdated! It takes a retroactive approaching to categorizing magic—looking at what people can do then trying to create categories around that.

If you want better idea of what people can potentially do with magic, you'll want to look at the system used by the peoples of the Black Ridge. They use a system more akin to those political alignment charts, where you plot two axes and then see where whatever you're measuring falls.

The most basic of these charts has an axis for "cold/solid" <- -> "hot/liquid", and one for "pure element" <- -> "complex compound," so mercury would fall squarely on the far end of "pure element" + "liquid."

There, problem solved!

Of course, these charts can get a lot more complex, and some people even take the time to assign numerical values to each axis and try and calculate out where exactly any given kind of mancy falls.

The benefit is that when looking at it as a field of possibility, rather than just observed reality, you can spot potential in places people simply haven't tried before. What would "hot" + "complex compound" magic look like? Lava, perhaps? The possibilities are limitless!

There have been sporadic attempts to bring the system over to the Central Basin magicians' guilds, but due to a mix of stubborn tradition, pre-existing structures built around the old system, and a lack of translations into Plains Tongue, it has yet to see widespread adoption. The farmhand who picked up a bit of water magic to help with cleaning the stables doesn't care if water is technically the "warm" form of ice, it's all just aque.

[rayofmisfortune]

RANT ABOUT THAT THERE OC YOU HAVE AQUIRED!!! :D I invite thee to gremlin in my direction!

WELL info on THAT oc is- [CONFIDENTIAL]

BUT I CAN RAMBLE ABOUT ANOTHER OC I HAVE! He is... a tad similar in concept to the oc I was talking about :3

SO! This guy has been with me for.. many a year atp, went through a lot of redesigns and his story has been rewritten more times than I can count jcjf he's never seen the light of day til now so- yea haha

Say hi to Chroma!

How evident is it that I redesigned him during covid?

Chroma is a Sans from my undertale au, ChainTale! Or... well one of them. He is Chain!Sans 1.0 Something effed up in his au and it got deleted with Chroma surviving only because of his funky magical structure, basically weird chain!monster anatomy and magic n stuff nfncn

Chroma's code isn't compatible with any universe anymore, not ever ChainTale 2.0, so he just sorta glitches from place to place with no choice of where or when or for how long.

There are tells of when another glitch out is getting close. The longer Chroma stays in a certain au, the glitchier he gets.

The first few times he got glitched out (doodle of that cuz it's funny)

He attempted to figure out why everything's so different around him. He even tried to get to know a few people. That however- those friendships never lasted him long as he always ended up being ripped away from the friends he'd made.

Over time he stopped trying to connect with people, as it did him nothing but make him feel even more miserable. He chose to hide his face to avoid being recognized as a Sans, cuz- obviously an au would have its own version of the guy (Or not, in which case it would be sus to see a random unknown or dead person)

ChainTale Sanses are also rather tall for a Sans. Standing at 5'7

Chroma can summon and hide his 'chains' at will.

Chroma's bones have gained a gray hue sort of coloring on his fingers and hands. Marking him as a glitch in the system (if the glitches and binary chains weren't telling enough)

I had some notes on his particular brand of chain magic but I don't remember what it was haha. All I know is that it's different from Chain's (ChainTale 2.0 Sans)

SPEAKING OF CHAIN! Might as well shove this on here (have a ref for him as well.. maybe I thought it was finished but what I found I have saved is just a wip)

Lil tartar loving guy

He also doesn't wear shoes. Yes he still lives in Snowdin, yes there's still snow in Snowdin. Yes the wet trail he leaves behind drives Rust (ChainTale Papyrus) up a wall.

Anyway lil comic doodle, how this dumbass got into the Omega Timeline? Good question.

Okay turned into a ramble about two of my oc's but it's FIIIIIIIINE

Not what ya asked about, but I couldn't let a chance to ramble about my guys pass me by

[popadoot]

WOAW hehe thank you !! i love it when people do analyses of my art like this it makes me so happy to read them.. the peridot one especially was meant to represent how i imagined peridot's "brain" to function. these are little peridot neurons being activated .. and the pearl one ..well most people got its meaning easily ☺️🌹

reposting old su art i like..

I think you're obsessed with pecs.

And you're NOT??? 😟

Pecs have always been my favorite part of the male body. Honestly, I believe it's practically a universal thing to enjoy a nice pair of tits of your preferred gender and anyone that says otherwise is probably lying.

Like, c'mon, if I had a rack of thick, hairy honkers I'd be admiring/manhandling them nonstop. It's literally a stress ball right on the chest!

Even if not my own, I'm always beyond grateful to have an opportunity to caress and worship an awesome pair of pecs!!

And when I say worship, I mean worship like I am a fucking whore for a man's chest, I could literally spend a full 24 hours just doing this:

And one of the best part about pecs is that you don't need to touch to appreciate them. You can see them sweater puppies in action when a man is running, dancing, driving, practically anything!!

Honestly? I love pecs of all kinds of sizes, colors, hairiness, thickness, etc etc etc. If it's a man's chest, I'm already in love. Pecs are pecs in my book!

Although I will admit, there is one particular aspect to pecs that I can simply NEVER get enough of... Can you guess what it is?

P-E-C. B-O-U-N-C-E.

PEC BOUNCE!!

I just can't get enough of it! It's like food for my soul at this point haha.

So anon, have I convinced you? C'mon, come join the dark side, we got nice pecs here. Soon enough, you'll become obsessed too! All you'll think about is pecs! In fact, I bet it's already working.

You need to touch them... you need to grow your own... you need to bounce them... Pecs, pecs, pecs...

Anyways, I'll stop rambling now lmfao if you're a man with a chest, give your pecs a good squeeze for me ok? Please? You have a SEXY pair of pecs and they need love too! If you can, give them a little bounce too! It's good for you ;)

Serial Cheater ~ Mako x Male Reader

This takes place somewhere along season 2 - Mako having just broken up with Korra and chatting to Asami again You are a core member of team Avatar! word count: 750 - Short fic! Sorry lol m!reader (no genitalia mentioned) / FDNI

Even though Mako is the kind of guy fan girls swoon over, most people would say that he's pretty down to earth

Your friends wouldn't describe Mako as flirty or as a serial romantic

But for the entire time you've known the muscular fire bender, some things have stuck out to you - most notably that he is, in fact, a flirt and a serial cheater (on accident)

Mako never actually means any harm to the girls he dates, but you have noticed a trend in his dating patterns of dating drop-dead gorgeous girls with a little overlap between them

It may just be the law of attraction - maybe Mako is just a magnet to romance and he can't help it

But it's most definitely a fact that if an opportunity is presented to the police officer, he takes it

And that is exactly what got the both of you into this situation

Mako and you were hanging out, Korra away somewhere on avatar business and everyone else at their respective jobs

The two of you were just chilling in Mako's apartment, having ordered take-out and drinking some new companies mass-produced rice-wine

As conversations drifted from one to the other, Mako started to vent about his highly active love-life

Being a good friend, you listened to the tall police officer - nodding along to assure him that you're listening to his ramble about his feelings for Korra and also for Asami

You of course throw in a joking comment or two at Mako's adulterous nature, but all in all you listen to his problems and offer your comfort

And your comforting and caring nature, mixed with the alcohol in Mako's system, was what resulted in your current situation

That being you on Mako's lap, making out with you handsome friend

Yes, you broke the kiss initially

Yes, you said you two shouldn't do this because of your close friendship with both of Mako's love interests

Yes, Mako begged for your warm, soft lips and for your comfort

And yes, you gave in...

Even though Mako was just yapping on about kissing Asami less than 24 hours ago, his chiseled face and warm brown eyes drew you in like an inescapable black hole

As the two of you made out, clothing started to make its way off of your body - the air in Mako's apartment becoming hotter and stuffier

But as your nude chest rubbed against the handsome man's pecs, a knock of the door forced you two apart

"Mako? Hey I wanna... talk about earlier!" you could hear your dear friend's voice shout

Asami was behind that door, and you most certainly didn't want her to walk in and see you and her not-so-boyfriend-boyfriend getting it on

You and Mako struggle to get off of one another and desperately reach for your clothes to cover up

You head to the bathroom to hide and dress back up as Mako let's Asami in to talk

You over-hear the two as you wait in your friends' tiny bathroom

Their conversation had ups and downs, but it definitely ended in an up

You peaked out of the crack between the door frame and the door, watching as Asami and Mako kissed goodbye

As the front door shut, you open the bathroom door and lean on the frame

"Sooo... looks like you really just can't help yourself" you say with a smirk to Mako

The tall man chuckles as he walks over to you

"Heh... yeah, I guess so"

"I don't think you deny being a playboy much longer, haha..." you joke

Mako holds you head up with his soft hand to make you look him in the eye - Mako's height being emphasised

"Shut up... and what if I am?" Mako half-lids his eyes as he focuses on your features

And while you know that it's a dick move on your part, breaking Asami's and even Korra's trust, you couldn't help but push your lips against Mako's

Your hands rest on Mako's strong chest, his tongue slipping past your lips as his masculine hands slip onto your waist

"That's what I'd do if your were... Hmhm~" you laugh after breaking from Mako's warm lips

The two of you laugh as the strong man picks you up, your legs wrapping around his waist and your arms around his neck

As Mako makes his way to his bed, all thoughts of guilt float out and away from your brain

Oh I'm a BIG Inquisitor fan, so I just have to answer!

My SI Aresyl has never met or even known about any family outside of Grandpoppy Aloysius Kallig. From a young age, Aresyl could always feel her ancestor watching over her, although neither one of them were fully conscious of the bond they shared. Meaning, although Lord Kallig wasn't self-aware until he was released during the SI main storyline, his spirit would always linger close to his granddaughter. It was as if Aresyl had a guardian angel.

Once they were able to actually communicate, Lord Kallig proved to be an important mentor early in Aresyl's career.

Other than that, Aresyl never had any real concept of family until she had her own. She was stripped from her mother at birth so certainly didn't grow up with a family of her own, but she also never encountered any family units in the empire either. She never missed what didn't know, basically.

Her chosen family ended up being her crew and later the alliance as a whole (it's a very big and chaotic type of extended family lol).

Fun little character question for all the SWTOR Sith Inquisitor fans out there:

Is your SI's family still alive, or do they only exist in the SI's memory? Did your SI ever even know their family, or were they torn from them when young? Do they ever dream of them? Wonder about them? Or do they not care anymore?

Here I am with the ask!!! I was wondering if I could request headcanons for Adam, Alastor, Lucifer, Vox and Lute with how they would be with a sloth like S/o. I saw someone ask this on a blog I follow and I was stoked, I love this concept so much it's so funny I decided it's my favorite. INSANELY sleepy s/o, they sleep ALL the time and still manage to be super sleepy, they'd be walking down the street? They randomly fall asleep while walking, needless to say that's very dangerous in hell. In heaven a bit less, but let's say falling asleep while flying is definetely dangerous too. They're talking to someone? They might be trying to pay attention but still can't help help falling asleep, characters like Adam and Luci would definetely have no problem with that tho. They are incredibly slow, and also have the sloth tendency to climb(for the tall ones) and cling to said partner and hang onto them like ragdolls. They can stay awake if they replenish the energy they use immediately or by being monitored, but they're very concerning. I imagine warm milk would probably knock them out cold, coffee probably does little to nothing, maybe a huge amount would keep them on the brink of consciousness lol. (Sorry this got long, that's how much I find this concept hilarious, you don't actually have to include all everything I said if you don't wanna I was just rambling)

heyy again!! this is so cute and honestly i’m fangirling at the ideas i have for this haha, enjoy!!

Adam, Alastor, Lucifer, Lute, and Vox x Sloth!Reader

Adam

There’s a solid chance he makes fun of you for your sleepy antics, but only he can do that, no one else!

Unlike Hell, if you fall asleep on the side of the road in Heaven, he’ll just toss ya over his shoulder like nothing happened

Honestly, Adam is pretty tall, and he’s got a bit of muscle under his fit, so he doesn’t mind a bit if you climb about him and all that

Alastor

Honestly, Alastor doesn’t mind your sleepy antics, it gives him an opportunity to get whatever he needs done for that time until you awake again

Although, he probably won’t let you climb him though, due to his dislike of physical touch, but dw he’ll let you cling to him a bit

If you start to daze off while he’s talking he won’t mind, his smile will soften, and he’ll tug you to his chest, talking you to sleep

Lucifer

You guys don’t go out much, so it’s not often you fall asleep on the streets, but if you do, he’ll pick you up bridal style, he won’t make a big fuss about it, at least until you get home

Like Alastor, if you fall asleep mid convo, he won’t mind, he’ll just bring you to his chest and talk you to sleep

Although he is on the shorter side, if you wanna climb him, he’ll certainly let you! He thinks it’s the cutest thing!

Lute

Honestly, Lute hates it when you sleep a lot, as because of her job, she’s busy most of the time and can’t see you, so when she does see you, and you’re asleep, it’s eh…

If you climb on her, she’ll tense up a bit, but she won’t deny it, but there’s a chance she will the first few times. Affection is new to her.

Vox

He’s another tall one, so you could climb on him, but he’s a bit of a twig tbh, so he might not be able to hold you 😭

If you fall asleep during conversation, he’ll be all pissy, but if you fall asleep ON him, bro glitches so bad

Tried to make sure you don’t fall alseep on the streets in the first place, but if you do, bitch is waking you up, ain’t no way he’s carrying you

Okay so I wanna talk about that big snake statue from the new drawtectives ep because I feel like it was kinda glossed over and will probably be important for next ep (if the warning they got at the end is about it, which... it has to be about that, right?)

(Long post, so it's under a cut)

So, first a cool detail I noticed that I don't wanna shoehorn into the end:

This snake statue was actually first shown in episode 2, during the midnight alley opening ceremony.

It looks so cool! Although it looks like metal or something, so how the hell did it catch on fire? I have no ideas for that, plz sound off in the replies. This is also a much closer look at it than the one we get in episode 4, which is nice. It's cool to finally know (some) of what the deal is with this statue, it kinda stuck out to me back when I first watched episode 2. Although the info we got only really gave me more questions.. cause like...the statue just showed up one day??? How???? It's so big! Also no one knows who made it? There's gotta be some crazy conspiracy videos on Bootube about it I just know it.

Anyway, I wanted to talk about this because I feel like maybe the creator of this statue and our elusive snake are one in the same.

Here's my evidence

1) snake motif (duh). But really, sea snakes were released into a flooded midnight alley at some point in the past to literally hunt people down, I imagine the citizens of midnight alley don't like them very much... The snake using that as their alias obviously shows how they're an antagonist to midnight alley (..cause they wanna flood it) but also kinda sticks out. Maybe they just chose it on purpose to be scary and like... reference the alley's history but idk, there could be more there

2) art motif. This might take some explaining but hear me out. In the art gallery, the snake not only vandalized Skeet's paintings but also drew a big snake on the wall.

They also wrote these sort of.. riddles? I guess? Maybe poems? Idk.. but those are also art! I had a theory after episode 3 that maybe the snake was some kind of disgruntled artist who was like, mad that Skeet got a spot in the gallery and they didn't, which maybe holds less water now but I still think it could be on the right track. Also, Fleur notably says the statue was 'installed' one day, like an art installation. Lots of art installations (especially the... less legal ones) just kinda show up overnight, so it being viewed as some art installation by the people of midnight alley makes sense. Anyway I mostly just wanted to say this cause I think the idea of the snake being an artist is REALLY compelling. It gives them a cool contrast/maybe even like a foil dynamic with the drawtectives, ik the drawtectives arent like, career artists in universe but they are good at art and they keep having to draw to solve mysteries so... they count. Also, it provides a sick as hell opportunity for some social commentary on the art industry or the art world or whatever which would RULE, that's the thing I most want to be right about with this theory haha

Anyway if I think of anything to add I'll put it in a reblog, thanks for reading my rambling lol
