Walk Walk Fashion Baby

Hi girlies new year new style ykwim anyway this is a pac that i have been wanting to make for a long time but i was like idk how many ppl will like it etc but now idc about all that i want to have fun so here it is!! Have fun and stay hydrated. muah <33 also my paid readings are open there are a few slots (15) if anyone's interested xx ciao <3 like and rb if you like xx

Masterlist / Paid Readings + FB / Tip jar

Pile 1

Hi pile 1! You need to try that classical, timeless, style, i know it can be annoying to look at all the beige and muted tones but its so much more than that like, picture this, a tailored blazer or high-waisted trousers that fit like a dream. tbh I am also getting pearls for some reason so maybe adding neckklaces as accessories can be something you are interested in to incorporate in your style next year. Start with a simple white shirt, a fitted black dress, or a pair of cut jeans. Then you can accesorise with delicate gold bracelet, a black bag, or a string of pearls again with the pearls they are calling for you right nowww.

Moreover, another style you can incorporate is just as sharp, and elegant so like the whole academia aesthetic, regardless of light or dark that doesn’t matter but what I am trying to say is, clothes with shape. Like cinched wastes and just clothes that create shape for you are like something you really should give thought to. It’s about being comfortable but also looking effortlesss while doing it all, I think basics like camis, just plain shirts/tshirts are something you need more of in your closet because theres so many ways to style them other than just for formal wear. Like one style inspo is literally Proncess Diana cannot get more elgant than her istg, enjoy muah <33

Pile 2

Y’all this is my pile you guys are my PEOPLE ok to begin with you need to stop being afraid of colour and looseness like not everything has to be tight and fitted especially just because the microtrend world says so. Experiment with “loud” colours and different textures, things you may have thought are “odd” and don’t look good, because trust me the way it can all be pulled together is crazy and so much fun!! Layer, the most important part, stack rings and bracelets and go for those colours that lowkey hurt your eyes because fashion is about colour and pattern and texture and taking all of it out of fashion just makes it dull imo.

Start with a bright coloured tshirt, maybe something like yellow, then layer on, very “indie kid” aesthetic like the high saturation stuff. Mixed with that I am also getting maximalism to the MAX layer layer layer, stack stack stack you should look like a walking apparell store (kidding) seriously though if you have been feeling like you want to experiment with something like this and oxidised jewellery and mixing different styles mainly because all of your wardrobe is mismatched (me) then go for it because I promise it will come out looking way better than you may have imagined. 

Pile 3: 

Ooo I love this, okay so very romanticised, very coquette but not really, this is also the pile which will look so good in pastels in lighter colours. All I am getting in my head are those pictures of people on picnics in their flowy outfits and dresses looking so pretty and at peace, bows and dellicate bangles, just a very dainty aesthetic im thinking light fabrics and romantic fashion like lace-trimmed dresses, pastel skirts and floral prints, very fairytaile-ish. Ruffles or embroidery too and just magical overall. Also the complete opposite of pile 2 here, minimalist aesthetic may suit you a lot so try it out next year!

I am talking about keeping it simple, not too much with the accessorising and maybe a staple or statement accessory piece that goes with everything and anything you wear. Also for some of you with this simplistic style, you may have to be pushed to try on something more glam too like a bold red lip when it comes to makeup, like be bolder with your makeup experiment with more purples, pinks and reds while keeping the outfits simpler.

Prodigal son terror

Li Jing in a fury grabbed his halberd, leapt on his horse and galloped out of the headquarters. He was astonished to see Nezha with his Wind-Fire Wheels and Fire-Tipped Spear. He swore loudly, "You damned beast! You caused us endless suffering before your death, and now that you've been reborn, you're troubling us again!"

"Li Jing! I've returned my flesh and bones to you, and there's no longer any relation between us. Why did you smash my golden idol with your whip and burn down my temple? Today I must take my revenge!"

since I'm on a Nezha streak, might as well do my design for him on the Expedition AU! given that i've chosen to give characters a closer likeness to their region, it's only fitting i do the same with import deities like Guanyin, Subodhi and Nezha.

he's a complicated figure to place in the timeline because he gained popularity as a deity much after, only really arriving in China by the time the Journey would have been set. FSYY was written closer to when JTTW was written down, and he was retroactively inserted on the Zhou Dynasty period.

so deciding what to even do with him is dicey. but then i said fuck it, mythological rules apply here, he was around for the events of FSYY, and it and JTTW are set in the same universe. and for the sake of having some fun, i decided to get funky with his concept.

Nezha had the likeness of his family when he was alive, as described in FSYY, but once he was reborn with a lotus body he gained Indian traits instead. this is to be a nod to his status as an import deity and his origin as Nalakubara, and as the centuries roll by he may present himself to mortals closer to the locals' appearance wise.

as for his looks, i drew inspiration from multiple sources. read more for my rambles <3

his armor is closer to reconstructions of Zhou dynasty-period armor, skipping over extra parts simply because his lotus body is so indestructible, there's no need for a full set;

there are two red Chinese knots with jade beads dangling from the armor ties. they are said to ward off evil spirits, which felt like a good fit for a guy known to banish demons. i picked a six-petal flower pattern, which represents reunion, unity and a bright future;

i included lotus petals and leaves on his outfit as they are common in Beijing Opera outfits for him, and his makeup is a call to it as well;

The pink from the cheeks and eyeshadow seeps into his ear shell, as to convey the way sometimes, you get so angry even your ears blush;

Another thing i referenced from Opera is the two red ribbons on his sidelocks, though I changed them to two bulbs of lotus roots;

Four petals drawn close to his urna as both to make it look like a lotus but also form five petals, which is an auspicious number;

His hair crown is a fancy princely [knot] with a lotus motif and a pearl in the center, as he was the Pearl Spirit before becoming Nezha;

I was going to go with elf-like ears but I thought I could do better, so I went for stretched earlobes instead. you can't see it that well but hopefully the very large golden earrings imply it well enough xvx;

His cheek dimples are common sight on religious images of him and it was a cute touch imo;

Younger Nezha wears a golden robe because of his title as General of the Central Altar in Daoist belief, and the center direction is connected to yellow or gold, and yellow robes are usually meant for emperors and their sons, which is a minor nod to his self-assureness and boldness;

The Cosmic Ring has spiralling grooves on it both to catch blades on it for defense but also as a callback to Opera props;

On his waist is the embroidered ball weapon he was attributed with in earlier myths, he was also meant to have the leopard skin bag Taiyi Zhenren gave him, bjt it was going to be obscured by the text so i omitted it;

A few depictions of him gave him a halo of fire, which was real cool so i added it as well.

A Smallishbeans Centric Epic! Au

Okay so first off I am going to set it up like so:

Epic!Character - Hermit/Lifer/Empyrian - my reasoning and design choices

Also this comes with new watcher lore at the end

please give ideas for Calypso and Apollo <333

Odysseus - Joel - He can be surspisingly clever at times, but I chose him for Ody more because 1 he’s straight and obsessed with his wife 2 he is a bloodthirsty bastard when he is red raging and 3 because he isn’t good with teammates

Zeus - Ren - It’s simple really, 1 he’s a theatre kid, 2 the red king

Penelope - Lizzie - well fist off, she’s Joel’s irl wife, but also because she is girlboss and a clever bitch

Telemachus - Hermes - he is Joel’s canonical kid and yeah

Eurylochus - Grian - very serious when he needs to be, is logical during the life series, and so would open the windbag for the lols

Polites - Jimmy - Canary curse, is baby, he can’t fight good and supports Joel and also would ensue shenanigans as soon as they are alone

Winions - Tanukis - a reference to @Mellozheist ‘s Hermitcraft tanuki!Joel design

Athena - Gem - She is an excellent fighter and is very logical when picking fights, she isn’t afraid to finish the job and the dynamic she and Joel had in Wild life felt similar to Ody and Athena’s (imagine Gem scolding Joel for going all bloodlust again after telling him not to red rage all season)

Polyphemus - Xornoth - big and only one eye but same design otherwise. Xornoth is terrifying in Esmp s1 lore. Imagine a giant one-eyed demon using corruption magic and a club to kill you, it’s also fun to point out that Joel didn’t acknowledge Xornoth at all in Esmp s1 and this is referenced in ‘tell me what’s your name?’ ‘My name is nobody’ Also this choice will make a lot of sense when you take into account who I picked for Poseidon

Aeolus - Scar - Now hear me out here, Scar is a prankster. This is a good prank. Aeolus’ whole thing is ‘do my lil task and u win!’ ‘What’s the catch’ ‘hahaha wouldn’t you like to know’ like Scar does that shit all the time. He rides on a cloud because he can’t walk and the cloud changes shape to accommodate him (After the time skip he just suddenly doesn’t have a shirt btw)

Poseidon - Scott - he’s dramatic, he’s queer, he’s petty, he’s been in a rivalry on life series with Joel since Last life, and in a world where both Scott and Xornoth (being brothers in lore) are evil, Scott, being loyal to his associates, would show up to defend him

Circe - Sausage - he ran a sanctuary for magical creatures and these people were attacked so he protected them. Also he owns a strip club so he would seduce people  to lure them in before brutally murdering them like a gentleman

Hermes - Oli - based on vibes tbh, but also on that one time when Joel played MCC Ender Cup at Oli’s and when they were losing Oli would hype him up by making up a song on the spot (M C C DO YOU KNOW THE WORDS!?)

Odysseus’ mom - Donkey Jeremy - for the memes, also Joel going to the underworld and finding that his donkey god is dead is brutal when you realize how long he has kept this bit up

Tireseas - Martyn - the lore man himself showing up only to lore drop on the main character and not help at all is such a Martyn move, the voices in the background are listeners dropping even more lore and all of them are giving pretty straight answers compared to Martyn only speaking in double meanings

Siren!Penelope - The Virgin Jeremy - if you don’t know who that is, when Jeremyism was created, Lizzie was brought into the cult religion as ‘the virgin Jeremy’ it looks close enough to Lizzie to be passable from afar but the outfit is all wrong

Odysseus’ ‘daughter’ - that kid Joel had with Jimmy during the Empires x HC crossover - technically his kid, but he gave it away as a Christmas gift so does it really count?

Scylla - Pearl - Scylla is a beast with 6 wolves heads for feet, 5am Pearl from Double Life is remarkably similar to Wolf Joel from 3rd life and Wizard Joel from Last Life, ‘we know that we are the same’ also she is just fucking crazy and deranged and we love her

Antinous - The Secret Keeper - Used as the leader of Watchers in this scenario. Watchers are known to be evil (or at the very least,very morally ambiguous) in lore

Calypso - Iskall fits so well but I don’t like himmmmmm give me better ideas please

Apollo - i dunno tbh, literally no ideas here. I would like ideas thanks.

Hephaestus - Doc - our machine boy, loyal to the bone so ofc he would have a problem with Joel being a traitor but not enough to fight his point because he has things to do

Aphrodite - Skizz - he’s sweet, and loyal, Aphrodite is the goddess of love, but in the musical she focuses on familial love, which Skizz does very well. He’s not on Joel’s side at all because Joel kills Skizz a lot 

Ares - False - a good fighter, would love to watch the bloodshed unfold also a fight scene with a Gem and False would look so sick

Hera - Cleo - the 80’s outfit matches Hera’s music, respects a man who doesn’t cheat on his wife, (LOOKING AT YOU ETHO)

Eurymachus - Watcher (partial sight*) - Eurymachus is the one that tries to open arms Odysseus, the partial sight bit will be explained after character list.

Melanthius - Watcher (unseeing**) - Melanthius is the man singing when Telemachus arrives and he is the one making orders and says he will ‘break the kids hands’, unseeeing will be explained after character list.

Watcher lore: 

The Secret Keeper is being used as the leader of the watchers, not needing wings to hide the eyes and instead wears a heavy mask with the watcher logo on it.

Watchers usually have two pairs of wings, a small pair where the ears would be cover the watchers eyes, the other pair on their back.

When a Watcher is starting to break away from the normal mentality the face wings begin to pull away from their eyes, Grian his his wings fully unfolded.

*partial sight means the inner half of the eyes are not hidden, meaning the watcher can now see the light/make better decisions

**unseeing means the wings are more tighly folded over the eyes that one is fully under the other like a blindfold, normally watchers can at least see the very smallest difference between being in a dark room and a light one, Unseeing Watchers can not.

Danny may or may not have been screwew.

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

Amity park was quiet, too quiet for Everyone residing in this haunted town,

Everyone knows that just this phenomenal is too be deem something was about to happen, and they couldn't be much more worried about it for the past year,

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

Danny couldn't believe it, the new justice league movie was here!

Don't get me wrong, being a ghost hero and seemingly protecting the town from his own fellow ghost that were taking his whole schedule would not border his excitement for this movie

Mainly Sam had him hook-up to that comic collection she got in one of her dusty closets at her house that she already finished,

And to be exact he was too into the DC comics (sorry Marvel comics but your comics are great too👍)

And it was just in time for his birthday, his parents were out who knows where two days ago (must be one of there expeditions again)

And Jazz couldn't come (which was kinda Abit upsetting) since she had a college project in her major with her other group friends,

So tucker,him and Sam were the only ones,

-----------

Danny couldn't be Abit annoyed that they've been searching for a theater that the movie will be screening in,

The ones with better screens(modern theaters) the movie wasn't released in there end.

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

“tuck can't you just hack whatever studios made that movie so we could just watch it in your PC? This is taking forever! Sam replied to tucker as she was Abit drip wet from the rain right now as they stay at an empty bus stop

Tucker:“well I wanted to suggest that idea, but I can't stop my parents request when they heard that we were watching a movie, they said it's much better in a cinema or theaters and you know me?”

Tucker answered back

Abit unsure which was abnormal for him but they couldn't point it out he's been a lot nervous for that hacking competition from the community for hackers and would won a very mystery surprised and been practicing lately even though he's already awesome at it.

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

The trio waited out the rain for about an hour as the sun shine in the faces of Amity park,

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

Sam:“we already cross out every cinema here!”

Both the boys look at Sam as she points out

It was only one movie how bad could it be to find it? Well pretty annoying actually.

Danny: “Hey guys remember that theater in the other side of the town?

Sam: “you mean that haunted theater? That is actually not inhabit by a ghost from the realms? Yeah I do”

Danny: “you do know that it's just called haunted is because there less people visiting and watching from there but look if it's the last place we need to check out for the movie!"- and my legs are hurting me rn just for walking)

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

They did find the theater had the movie available, they had to wear this old 80s or 90s outfits to fit the theme, and they were alot of people looking like they came from the past, just don't bother to look at the phones there holding and very recognizable faces,

Sam had this very nice head piece her hair was Abit curly for her liking but they kept the dark shadow and gave her a red lipstick not her fav of a color but it's shade was nice, a very classic dress, with a pearl necklace that seems to glow

Tucker had that suit with a very nice tie and gloves, Danny felt Abit familia with it Abit.

And him, he was dress with that classic good boy suit- both tucker and Sam couldn't stop laughing,

But not atleast to stop to get pictures at the photo booth

One particular couple had commented that Sam and tucker look like an marriage couple and Danny look like there son in the picture

That made Danny well redden while Sam and tucker couldn't stop teasing him saying, parents jokes the way just for fun

But the movie was good they can't rub it in,

And can't forget when Batman backstory came out, Sam couldn't stop to comment that the suit he was wearing look exactly like young Bruce suit,the one his wearing now for theater vibes shit customs

Ohh Sam if you knew-😃

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

It was like watching those videos on 3 max speed,

After the trio had came out of the theater, and it might have been Abit dumb to make the alley way beside the theater a shortcut,

Well it felt like Deja Vu

Till that man with the gun was there, not exactly a man, it was a ghost, well hello new rogue, the ghost introduced himself as Mugger(really dude?) And he wanted them to give there belongins

One of those ghost bullets kinda hurt for Sam and tucker but they were okay, wasn't harm, reminded them Abit of paintball event last week they attend,

But most of all They couldn't believe that after the fight, the only one really beaten up was mugger, well shit-

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

Danny was in an alleyway, near the theater(not the theater) and unfamiliar but similar city, there it was he was Abit bloodied in his suit, he was Abit smaller like some kid, and he was holding a pearl necklace that was torn abit only some few pieces of pearls scattered

No-no-no-no! Where was he?what was he doing here? Heck where was he even anyway?

Well that thought was interrupt when he say a hotel sign in pink neon lights

(welcome to Gotham: marywell inn!)

Like shoving into his face

Oh ancients what has he gotten himself up too?

-------- Well F7CK------

[quibbs126]

I know you've done this before but can you please maybe make a darkwhip kid, but with the basis that Whipped comes from the Millenial Tree family?

I finally finished her, this lady is Whipped Ganache Cookie

Fun fact, Whipped Ganache was one of the first fankid names I came up with when I first made my list, which was a little before I opened up requests, I just didn’t get requests for darkwhip nor did I have ideas like I did for pureraisin and darklico, but then I finally ended up getting this request, so I could use it

So basically ganache is like this chocolate sauce or icing or filling, it has a lot of uses, and whipped ganache is this whipped version with more cream than chocolate. I picked it because it seemed like whipped cream but chocolate, perfect for darkwhip

The thought occurs to me that maybe chocolate mousse could have worked too (mainly due to my roommate saying whipped ganache reminded her of it), but I like Whipped Ganache. And I can save it for later (but not the other darkwhip kid, and I don’t need a third one)

Whipped ganache:

So this is technically my second time drawing her, with my first attempt only getting as far as the hair sketch. I couldn’t figure out what to do for her outfit, so I just left her for some months until yesterday

But I had a good idea of what to do for the hair (even if I changed it somewhat)

But let’s get to the outfit. Yet again, I didn’t really know what to give her, other than she probably wears dresses. I put her in a hanbok since I was like “I dunno, that’s an outfit she could wear”. And sure it looks fine, but I wasn’t really sure it fit her, specifically with the request of her having some relation to Millennial Tree Cookie, but you know, no one gave me a goddamn answer when I asked (well other than my friend who said keep the hanbok, but she also said she was biased so) so I just had to stick with the hanbok. I’m still not sure it works to be honest. I mean, if she’s going for a formal event/festival in the Dark Cacao Kingdom, sure, but I’m not sure it works as her default. Maybe if I can come up with something better I can make a new design with that, but for now, this is what I have

I’m also not sure about her outfit colors to be honest. I wanted her to have pinks, but I also wanted her to have browns (and also that purple I got that looked neat), and I’m not sure I found the best balance in the end. But I asked my friend and she said “look good” so I kept it

I like the mountain pattern on her hanbok, I got that straight from Dark Choco’s costume

Sorry, I don’t have much to say. I came up with the hair months ago and don’t really remember all the logic other than it being long sort of like Millie and having pearls because Whipped Cream, and I have more complaints about the outfit because I don’t think it fits. But I like everything else about her aside from her outfit

Anyways, character time

So I think I came up with some ideas for her back in July when we were coming back from England, though I soon went on to work on Vanilla Lily/Witch Hazel (and fun fact, I haven’t looked back at those notes until right now as I’m writing this)

So first thing about Whipped Ganache (that I probably should have mentioned in the design section), she is very tall. She isn’t necessarily wide, but she is tall, taller than either of her parents. I just wanted to mention that

But anyways one of her main things is that she has healing magic, which is what she’s supposed to be doing with the flower in the sketch (wasn’t sure how to give off the glowing effect though). But also, while her magic is healing, it’s deadly towards things of dark magic, like what healing magic does to undead things in old games (actually as far as I’m aware that’s only FF7)

I’m remembering now, I think one thing I envisioned with her is her summoning a giant ass laser like what Millennial Tree does in his Skill, and when she fires it, her allies caught in it would be healed while her enemies (presumably made of dark magic) would be harmed

Whipped Ganache is generally a very serene and kind person, has the patience of a saint. I’m not sure she has a breaking point, she probably does but I haven’t thought much on it. She’s very attuned to nature as well, maybe not to the point of being a tree hugger, but enough that she doesn’t like blatant exploitation of it. Also she’d survive very easily by herself in the wild

Another thing about her is that she plays a harp. Not a lyre like what Carol or Lilybell uses, but a full giant harp. I got that from listening to Millennial Tree Cookie’s theme

Anyways, I think that’s about it for her. But also just a note, she’s not the only darkwhip kid I plan to make, it’s just that she doesn’t necessarily follow the same rule of being related to Millennial Tree. I mean she and Whipped Ganache live in the same timeline, they’re sisters, but she doesn’t have much that makes that trait noticeable, so she’ll get her own thing

But yeah, I hope you enjoyed Whipped Ganache

16. The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks

What a POLARIZING experience this was. Really high highs, very low lows. Overall I think I enjoyed my time with the game more than I disliked it, but this is absolutely a one and done experience. I don't think I ever want to play it again fghgfghj

The first thing that jumped out to me was the story—it's better than any of the more recent Zelda titles that have released in the last ten years (I'm looking at you TotK). The characters are so fun and expressive, and it even gave us the best version of Link and Zelda's situationship. They are SO cute in this game, that even as a raging lesbian I can appreciate them. It also gave us Byrne—he kicks ass.

I hear a lot of people complain about them but I never had much issue with the touch controls. They were responsive and the enemies are just slow enough to get around the bit of discrepancy you'd have as opposed to having button controls. I think we need more games with silly controls, that's kind of a lost art, and it brings charm to a game.

The pan flute was fun at first, it was just a silly little instrument that you blow into the microphone to use, but then I got to the fire sanctuary. That. That right there. That's the reason I will never play this game again. The fire and sand sanctuary songs are SO finicky, it took me HOURS to complete both. Everywhere else it's fine! The first three sanctuaries? Not a problem. Using it in the overworld? Not a problem. Just. Those last two sanctuaries make my blood BOIL.

Train's fine. I didn't really see much issue with it aside from the stupid one-hit kill demon trains. (Especially that last area, jesus christ why are they FASTER than you?) But oh my god it is impossible to upgrade your train in this game? I got three parts. THREE. I DIDN'T EVEN COMPLETE A WHOLE SET. You don't even unlock the ability to customize your train until you unlock the water realm so I just didn't think you could do it! Also you don't unlock fast travel until way too late. Like it's appreciated but they're so out of the way and come in so late that I basically never got to use it.

That's another thing, this game is so backloaded with sidequests, that I did like three before making it to endgame. Once I realized that you were basically forced to marathon all the sidequests in one go if you wanted to 100% it, I lost interest. It's all bunnies and ferrying people around anyway so who cares, I'd probably just get another pearl necklace for my troubles.

I do like that you can wear the conductor's outfit tho.

Anyway this game is definitely fun and worthwhile if you're a Zelda fan—especially since it comes packaged in with Zelda's most important role in the whole series. Seriously Nintendo, why can't we play as her yet? Why is she always being sidelined as a damsel in distress? Her name is in the fucking title for god's sake.

Story of SU!Bluu

This is an AU of me but I'm in the Steven universe, this is heavy self indulgences!!

In this AU Bluu is called Star/Cosmo by Jasper and CAsset-24 by everyone else on home planet

*Bowing to the lady in yellow, her glance of confusion as the skeletonial alien standing before her, she stared before poking its head as it tripped and fell over ringing a bit like a bell, she seemed disappointed.

" Well, what are you. "

*The gem spoke as she glanced to her pearl, and back to the skeleton, it rattled its bones shaking off as it stood up blinking "... Uhmm.. I don't know, but uhh, your... Friends? Kidnapped me.. "

*She blinked and smiled a bit before poking it again it jumped back as the stars glitched from 4 to 3 they growled in defense. " Feral, aren't you? Hm.. well you seem to have a very calming aura, I was in quite a pissy mood and your... Presence I suppose. Was very, 'relaxing'? Do you know anything about this. "

*The gem spoke as the skeleton shook their head the small bell noises ringing again in a shake, she nodded and questioned if she should tell her sister, deciding against it and opening a floating screen

" You can be useful. Mmm, well due to your appearance, and that... Outfit, I think you need a change. Pearl take the thing to the room and try to find something that isn't... Rags. After that inform Jasper of her new.. assistant. " The pearl nodded and walked over grabbing the hand of the skeleton as they blinked staring down at the ripped pajamas and huffing a bit as their stars fade to a black and the tail dragged, they walked down halls and halls..

" pleaseee... go find, ehmm. A new outfit. I will be getting your new boss afterwards. "

*Star stared and nodded walking into the room before tripping on a small block, seeing the pink room and the small pebbles that smiled with a gem stuck up in their eyes... they chopped up different clothes and clothing around the room, standing the skeleton up and spinning them around wrapping in trousers, a tie, short boots, a small scarf and better yet... a big bow tied to the scarf!

" oh- uh.. thank you! I guess I did need a clot- " *they jumped back as the pebbles scurried away from the door being swung open with aggression, a Jasper stepped in looking at the skeleton, before softening up and walking over

"... Are you uh, Jasper? " Star spoke as the gem nodded and sat down on the hard floor making the ground grumble. " Yes. Now what exactly are you ment to help me with? Or are you just another weakling to die on war with me. If both ways, keep up in the battle field. "

*The Pearl entered as she tapped jaspers shoulder who glared at the yellow pearl, she rolled her eyes and rubbed her temple as the pearl took out a small pecie of paper from yellow diamond.

" it's meant to be something to help you think straight. I don't fully know but Are royal grace blue diamond convinced yellow that it would be a use to you, now you to have fun. Don't forget your mission to earth Jasper, Casset-24 will be coming with you." *She spoke and left the room as Jasper read over the paper groaning shaking her head at the name.

" so your a therapy pet. Totally needed one, should've left you floating. "

*Star scrunched back as Jasper read over the name, her nose scurried against her face like a worm.. " Casset-24? That's a fucking mouthful! Mmm. I'm calling you Cosmo. Rolls off the tongue and reminds me of the species I murdered. "

*Star frowned and nodded, as Jasper went on ranting about her day not letting Cosmo talking sometimes ignoring him sometimes just staring, Cosmo would speak their opinion once or twice, but not much more.*

[itsrainingswhelse]

Okay I wanna make a Bakugan ramble specifically about how Tangle’s design fits into the character designs of the Bakugan universe. I also wanna talk about what attribute Tangle would match and my opinions as to why.

First off, we all know Tangle’s design. Personally, I think her design is one of my favorites. I love the sports tape/wrap limbs. Needless to say I’m a fan of the Sonic Boom designs. I also really love when characters have cropped shirts/hoodies/jackets/etc over their outfit.

Second, her look for the Clean Sweepstakes. Her design here is so clean imo. I can definitely tell you why, I’ve always been a sucker for the Riders-esk designs. Once again, the cropped jacket is so good, plus the shades. I will never not be a fan.

Now enough about Tangle’s look.

In the image above is the main cast of Bakugan Battle Brawlers (from left to right);

Shun Kazami, Marucho Marukura, Dan Kuso, Julie Makimoto, Alice Gehabich, and Runo Misaki

I have color coded their names to match with the attribute they brawl with; Pyrus, Aquos, Haos, Subterra, Ventus, and Darkus.

This is the Attribute wheel.

Pyrus = Fire

Aquos = Water

Haos = Light

Subterra = Earth

Ventus = Wind

Darkus = Darkness

For obvious reasons, each attribute is extremely different, but that also doesn’t mean that just because you have one attribute means you instantly can beat another. The game itself is all about strategy. Each also has its pros and cons that can affect the game.

I have three attributes that I think would match Tangle pretty well.

Pyrus, the Fire Attribute.

Pyrus, just like the thought of actual fire can be unpredictable and fierce.

Most Pyrus brawlers are headstrong, willing to take the most risk out of any brawlers. With that being said, they can also be hasty and impatient, jumping the gun too quickly.

Pyrus’ whole point is to basically overpower their opponents through sheer force own and shutting down opponents to fight back.

Tangle as a Pyrus brawler would be my top pick if I had to pick just one. Capable of overcoming anything that comes at her with enough determination.

Ventus, the Wind Attribute.

Ventus is all about strategy, to put it bluntly.

Most Ventus brawlers use their wits to outsmart their opponents. Waiting for the perfect time to strike. On the other hand, brawlers using Ventus can underestimate their opponents, overshooting their mark and making mistakes.

The ideal Ventus brawler takes their time, but uses what they know about their opponents against them. Sometimes taking a gamble.

Tangle fits in more with Ventus more on a physical standpoint and less of a mentality standpoint. Not saying that Tangle couldn’t use strategy, but she’s more likely to jump into things than to use a strategy.

Ventus is the wind, flowing and moving constantly, Tangle is athletic and capable to adapt if given the chance.

Aquos, the Water Attribute.

Aquos uses a lot of trickery, throwing a lot of moves to get the upper hand. They are also good supports, capable of setting up heavy attacks with just two moves.

With certain abilities, Aquos brawlers can absorb power from others, or simply pull them into a battle they weren’t ready for.

Aquos brawlers might not go looking directly for a fight but they are always prepared for one.

Tangle is very capable to pull her punches and trick opponents into traps when needed.

This is just a cool little fun thing I wanted to show off. Nothing to do with this post.

In the image above is two different Bakugan I own. B1 vs B2 size.

The white one is a B1 Ventus Pearl Skyress.

The green on is a B2 Ventus Storm Skyress.

Pearl Bakugan are not canon to the anime or have any buff in the card game. They are just cool little Bakugans that came with the Bakutins forever ago. I’m actually very happy to have my hands on a B1 Pearl Skyress in her canon attribute as she’s my favorite.

Hello again! This is a post for people who have read my recently published fic "To The Unfriendly Neighborhood"!

I promised, didn't I?

This is an art piece I did while writing the fic! Major spoilers for the fic underneath the read more! Please give it a read and then come back and check this out :D

Now that only people who have read the fic (or are willing to spoil themselves) are here…

I proudly present: Jewel!

Yep! She needed a different name during the concept and ideas process because half-Unfriendly Junebug was too long, so we (me and a friend) decided on Jewel! Because Jewel beetles look very similar to Junebugs and are closely related.

And this is her!

This is her normal everyday wear! Her hair is tipped bright green because she convinced Gordon to buy her hair dye. Her skirt is long because it helps to hide her legs without them getting tangled up (I wanted to show them off lol). She's supposed to be disproportionate by the way.

This is her jacket outfit. She wears it when she's having a bad day and needs more of a "shield" from the world. It doesn't quite fit perfectly because it's an old employee's jacket.

And now the fun part, details and extras about Jewel and the story!

Story details:

- The reason Norman and Lenard thought Jewel didn't actually meet Gordon is because they hadn't encountered him themselves and made assumptions.

- Pearl actually knew who Gordon was, but she didn't think he was coming back and thought Jewel was just being wishful and naive.

Jewel details:

- Absolutely despises Norman. Particularly the Norman who wasn't aware of Gordon's existence and was the first to tell her he wasn't real, even when he was. She's sorta indifferent and standoffish to the other Normans, but she's downright aggressive to the original.

- When it comes to the puppets, she gets along best with Lenard, since he helped her through her transformation and the whole ordeal afterwards. They're very close.

- Struggles with delusions and hallucinations, often Lenard and Gordon are the only ones who can help her out of them.

- Very protective of Gordon. Almost constantly by his side. On bad days she'll growl at anyone who gets too close to him. Can and should be likened to an overprotective attack dog.

- Will sometimes just. Pick Gordon up. Like when you hold a cat by the armpits. Carries him around like a teddy bear. (He learns not to fight it lol)

- This is made funnier by the fact that she's 6'3, and I HC Gordon as 5'2.

- Has chronic pain in her legs and missing eye.

- So many body insecurities. So many.

- Intrusive thoughts galore. Do you know how many times this girlie has vividly imagined tearing her friends apart? Hates it with a passion.

- She becomes pretty cynical, but she tries to see the best in others regardless.

- Picks up cursing from Gordon, gains quite the potty mouth. I HC that the puppets are literally incapable of cursing until they turn Unfriendly, and Jewel is just Unfriendly enough that she's not blocked from it.

- Pretending to be friendlier than she is is incredibly difficult, so sometimes she'll go deeper into the studio, find an abandoned room, and just tear it to fucking shreds. Goes absolutely apeshit. Sometimes she just needs to let it all out.

And with that, I am done! Please ask questions about her or this AU if you have any, I love her lots and would adore if someone else had an interest in her!

I'm sort of working on a post-TTUFN fic about that last point on Jewel, so stay tuned! No guarantees cause I'm burning myself out a little, but I should have a short one out sometime, at the least :3

See ya!

Tenma Sibling Headcanons (ft. Honorary Tenma Siblings Minori and Kohane :))

Movie night usually happens on the weekend while they have school and throughout the week during any breaks. This is because they have 4-6 movies to get through depending on who shows up.

If you wanted to know their movie choices: Tsukasa - Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper | Saki - Barbie Fairytopia | Toya - Cinderella (sometimes he chooses the Princess and the Frog instead) | Kanade - When Marnie was the There (or like any Studio Ghibli movie tbh) | Kohane and Minori have the most misc. movie pick, from Disney to very old horror movies to animal documentaries.

Kohane and Minori mainly sleep in Saki's room whenever they're over.

Sometimes Kohane will go into Toya's room if he isn't spending the night with Tsukasa, the two like to cuddle in their sleep.

They have duo days where they each pair up and do something together, such as Toya and Kanade working on music or helping Toya learn to feel comfortable playing the piano again, Saki and Kohane going shopping to find new accessories or try new foods, maybe get some things off of Saki's bucket list, Minori and Tsukasa usually stay at home in his room playing dress up or working on making some of Minori's idol outfit ideas a reality (she designs, he sews, Minori tried sewing but kept pricking her finger and struggled with the machine).

Biggest supporters of each other. Kohane has a live show? Toya is by her side, the rest of her siblings are in the audience. Nightcord released a new song? Kanade is taken to celebrate at a place that sells really good ramen. Saki is performing live with Leo/need? Her siblings are all there watching and cheering her on. Minori and the rest of MMJ are livestreaming? She can see her siblings support in the chat, encouraging her throughout the stream. Toya plays the piano for the first time in a long time? His siblings are there for him when he starts crying because the piano is finally starting to feel familiar again. Tsukasa is putting on a show with WxS? His siblings rush backstage to congratulate him on another successful show.

Akito almost laughed when Kohane invited An to meet her siblings. She glared at him and she accepted the invite, she knew Tsukasa (and no, she still isn't used to hearing Kohane call him Onii-chan) and Toya obviously (which was another surprise), she hasn't met her sisters besides Minori (okay who started this? Tsukasa Onii-chan, Kana nee-chan says he collects us like how some birds collect shiny rocks. ...of course it was him). Game night was fun since all the S/Os also showed up.

As the eldest, Tsukasa is usually the one taking charge of things, he's even stepped in for their actual parents at times whenever they need to be seen or aren't available. The students at Miya Girls have gotten used to seeing him walk in for a meeting with one of his sisters teachers (doesn't he only have one sister? I heard Hanasato and Asuzawa call him big brother once....do you think he'd take me in if I asked? What the fuck? Come on, it can't be that bad to be a Tenma!!).

Kanade knows Minori and Kohane more from whenever they spend time in the LEAD Sekai than anything else, so it took some time for her to get comfortable and used to be being called big sister by the two of them. Saki she was used to, Toya usually just called his siblings by their name, and Tsukasa referred to her as his little sister, which she wholeheartedly accepted. But this? Yeah she needed time to get used to it.

Minori and Kohane will sometimes bring their pets over for play time. Some days they're all in the house together, other days Minori, Tsukasa and Saki take Samo-chan out for a walk while Kohane, Kanade and Toya stay at the Tenma's house and watch Count Pearl.

Since they're the ones who visit most often and were given a copy of the house keys, it isn't surprising for a member of Poly/need and/or Rui to walk in a massive cuddle pile on the floor. Some days everyone is still in their school uniform, Kanade in her usual sweats. Some days you can see a lot of what they were doing on and around them. Tsukasa has scraps of thread and fabric on him, Minori largerd scraps of fabric on her, either they were working on a new idol costume for Minori or some new cosplay. Saki and Kanade are surrounded by papers covered with music, new songs for their respective groups. Toya and Kohane are cuddling on the couch, gluestick finally falling out of Kohane's hand, the unfinished scrapbook she and Toya were working on sitting on the table, photos, stickers, fun paper, etc. spread all around for them to pick and choose from. Some days the room they're in is bright and some days the only light is that of the sun as it goes down, giving the room a warm, orange, glow.

I'm really sorry I literally forgot to add my chart.

I'll just add the info here again so you don't have to switch between them. I'm comfortable with both fem and masc clothing. I'm a pale white person.

Thanks again!! Have a great day!!

Hi!! Hahah no worries, tysm for ur payment & ofc ! <3

1H - Taurus ascendant: Dark earthy tones. Comfort-oriented. High quality materials. Gold/steel/silver jewelry. Relaxed fits. Down to earth vibe. Tousled, fringey hair. Effortlessly cool. Taurus rules the neck so consider investing in a signature neck piece or having a daily rotation of necklaces. Stack ‘em ! Use accessories as a tool to elevate your more laxed style. Personal opinion, I love to see ear & nose piercings on Taurus placements 🙈

2H - Gemini (moon + Mars): The 2H is all about self esteem, so incorporating the 2H into the way we style ourselves will give us more self confidence. Ruled by Mercury, Gemini is versatile & playful. Add some color + texture to your looks to make them more fun & representative of your inner nature :) Greens, blues , & gold are Mercury’s colors so make sure to incorporate those for an extra confidence boost. Manicured hands; jelly nails. Rings !! Having your moon & Mars here, you can mix the themes of the two planets. Red accents, pearls, lace, leather, mixing feminine & masculine fashion… follow your instincts on what you think would look good! Think outside the box. Challenge yourself to “dress intuitively” from time to time

Sun in Aries (12H): The sun rules over self expression; we can use our sun signs as a tool for fashion, & doing so will bring forth more confidence, as well as make us feel more in tune w our charts. Your sun is in Aries in the 12H; having your sun in your 12H, you don’t like to call toooo much attention to yourself; nonetheless, you’re a bit competitive & would never want to get caught lacking lol. You don’t really need excess or flash, but having one or a few quality items (like a designer pair of shades, some nice shoes, a fancy chain, etc.) will bring a quiet flair to any simple outfit. Oversized tees, ripped jeans. Smudged eyeliner. Shorter hair &/or a shaggy hairstyle would suit you.

Venus in Aquarius (11H): Venus rules over personal aesthetics & all things "beauty”. Your Venus is in Aquarius in the house of Aquarius, so I think it’s safe to say your personal aesthetic is nontraditional! Uranus is known for its androgynous energy, as well as its newness + uniqueness. It sounds like you’re already on track, as you are comfortable w both feminine & masculine elements! I would recommend going thrifting, buying secondhand, or repurposing clothes you already have ! Get innovative w your looks. I can see you being very fashionable & having a really unique, personal sense of style!!

I hope you liked it <3 thanks again for booking w me :D

Extras Part 2

"I hate wearing these dresses; my tunics are ten times more comfortable" the girl complained as they finished taking off one of the ostentatious and still unaccustomed dresses.

"Everyone knows what you are; wearing dresses like the politicians gives the idea that you want to fit in" she explained her while applying makeup. "Seek a place among them and thus belong."

"That's not what I want. My place is with the Order, not with the politicians" she remembered her, looking at herself in the mirror.

Even with the gauzy background, she could see the silhouette of her body. She was no longer as small as when her father died; her features of ella were beginning to change, and so was her body of ella, which frightened her.

"Do you prefer red, or perhaps yellow?"

"Or better yet" she showed another one.

"Green again, no. I'll go with white, and I want the jewelry to be silver."

"You're not a bride, and neither are you a noble" the queen reminded her. "You would be better off with a flashy color."

"Well, then I'll wear brown. The garments will be gold, or at most pearls."

The handmaidens obeyed and found a brown outfit to dress her in; then, they brought out the jewels. She wore a necklace with square pieces of gold and a medium-sized belt with a round buckle in the center with flowers and several layered ovals. They put on her bracelets and sat her in front of the dresser to arrange her hair. The peace convocation that took place every year was about to begin; the venue was chosen randomly, and this time it would be held on Alderaan. This was communicated to the participants with the necessary days in advance to make the trip in their private ship for added security.

(N/A: For those who don't understand, it means that if it took a week for Padmé's ship to go from Naboo to Alderaan, she would be informed six days in advance (considering that weeks in the Star Wars galaxy last 5 days)).

Once she was ready, she lifted her dress and attached her lightsabers to her harness over her pants.

"Astra, I don't know if you know, but a peace convocation is precisely for peace to reign. Carrying a lightsaber is not necessary."

"The day you see a Jedi without their lightsaber is the day I'll leave mine. Now, get dressed; Sabe is ready, and we have to go to the meeting room."

"We'll arrive elegantly late."

"There's a thin line between arriving elegantly late and being terribly unpunctual."

Padmé switched places with Sabe again, so she put on one of her handmaiden outfits, only more formal to accompany them. Then they went out and were escorted by droids to the hall where more than half of the guests were already present. They welcomed some people, "drank" a little. Sabe was the one who drank because Astra just held the cup near her lips before leaving it on the next tray they saw.

"You should have a little, don't be rude" Padmé suggested.

"I don't drink."

"Don't Jedi drink?"

"This one doesn't."

"Mediator Jinn. How delightful to see you! Your handmaiden didn't need to bring you."

"The pleasure is ours, Chancellor Palpatine" she made a slight bow. "I'm afraid I'm not accustomed to these gatherings; she helps me to" she searched for the word. "Fit in" she replied, smiling and eliciting a laugh from the Chancellor.

"I can imagine, after all, you're still a child, right" he looked at Padmé. "You can leave us alone; I'll take care of her. Let me say that I'm very impressed with your performance as a mediator. Although I hoped that over time, you would set aside some of the Jedi's cold customs and start having fun like young people your age."

"I think most young people my age are not mediators in the Senate."

"Don't be mistaken. Although Queen Amidala was your age when she was appointed queen."

"I'm sorry to say you're wrong; my birthday is in a few months. I'm still 13." She took a glass of champagne and handed it to the man. "I don't understand the purpose of these dances."

"They are to promote peace through the coexistence of rulers."

"But isn't that the goal of the Senate meetings we must attend almost every week?"

The meeting continued, and on more than one occasion, Astra was invited to dance. Padmé explained to her that it was rude to refuse these requests, so she always said yes. Luckily, she knew how to dance very well, almost all kinds of dances. The dance was about to end when Palpatine approached Astra again, offering her a glass of a thick, violet liquid.

"I don't drink, Chancellor."

"I know; it's just juice. I'm pretty sure you'll like it."

"Well, I appreciate the gesture" she took the glass, and when she was about to drink, she felt a disturbance in the Force.

Astra moved as fast as she could, drew her lightsabers, and activated them to deflect a shot aimed at the Chancellor that ended up hitting a pillar.

"Everyone, get out of here" the girl shouted, and people began to run.

She, on the other hand, began deflecting shots, trying to protect the people running towards the emergency exits, escaping the crossfire between the droids and the soldiers protecting the attendees.

"You must leave, Chancellor" the girl encouraged him, decapitating a droid.

"I won't leave without you, Mediator."

Astra looked around until she found Padmé defending herself against one of the droids as best as she could. In response, the young girl jumped towards her, redirected a shot to hit the droid, and helped her get up.

"We need to go, Chancellor. Please follow me; we must return to Senator Amidala."

The three left the place with Astra covering them. Before closing the door, the pre-adolescent used the Force to levitate one of the tables and threw it at the droids, giving them some time to leave.

"Who could have done this?" Padmé asked as they ran to the ship, like all the other attendees.

"I have no idea, but I don't think we want to know right now."

The path was quite rough, as they not only had to deal with complete droids but also with previously broken droids that obstructed the way. Therefore, when they arrived at the hangar, most of the ships had left, and those that hadn't were preparing to do so.

"We can't leave the kings; we have to help them" Palpatine mentioned when they were about to board.

"Chancellor, the first shot was for you. You're the one they want to kill, so we must get you out of here, and we have to do it now."

When the Chancellor boarded, Astra deactivated her lightsabers without noticing a hidden droid that shot in her direction. Padmé noticed this and ran towards her, intervening and taking the hit in her place. Astra noticed where the shot came from and ended up using the Force to crush the droid. She then ran, picked up Padmé, and entered the ship with her in her arms. The ship took off, and the handmaidens took Padmé to her cabin. They removed her clothes and saw that the shot had hit her shoulder, and when scanning it, they realized there was no severe damage to her system. The younger one closed her eyes and concentrated as if about to meditate, so her body separated from the ground; extending her hand over Padmé's wound and using the Force to heal it. When she finished, the preadolescent fell to the ground without strength, and the other handmaidens (including Sabe) helped her stand up and reach her bed.

................................................. ................................................. .................................

Astra closed her eyes, holding her music box in her hand, then placed it back around her neck and left her room to meet her master.

"Where will the mission be?"

"We're going to Mandalore. The Prime Minister, the Governor, and the Viceroy agree that our help will be useful given the recent attacks on the high-ranking officials. So, for anyone asking, we are emissaries."

"What does their duchess think? Her opinion is also important if we want to help them" they boarded the ship and sat facing each other.

"The Duchess was murdered. A successor will be named, but until then, it is believed that the Sith might attack."

"Why would the Sith attack Mandalore?"

"Beskar."

"The metal?" she asked, looking at her lightsaber.

"What do you know about it?" she inquired, lowering the girl's hand to get her attention.

"It's what Mandalorian armors are made of; it's very rare and, therefore, very valuable. It's also said to be very resistant."

"But it's not just very resistant, Astra. Beskar is one of the few existing materials capable of withstanding the impact of a lightsaber. If the Sith take control of the beskar mines on Mandalore, they will be able to build weaponry immune to our weapons. We won't be able to defend ourselves."

When they arrived on Mandalore, they were greeted by the Prime Minister, who explained the situation. They were given the freedom to explore and go wherever they wished. Yaddle didn't want to burden Astra with more work; after all, this was supposed to be her week of rest. So, she told her to take care of the details, and Astra should relax. Astra left her things in her assigned room and, after a few minutes, left the palace to walk through the city. She wandered for a while, observing people dressed in black buying white flowers. There was no doubt that the Duchess was very loved by her people, and it was a shame what happened to her. Astra got distracted looking at a flower until she felt someone grab her and cover her face, taking her somewhere.

When she was "released," she found herself tied to a chair, her face covered, in a training base surrounded by soldiers wearing strange armor.

"Who are you?" she asked, confused.

"We ask the questions here" said someone whose voice she couldn't distinguish, as they used a modulator.

"What do you want with me? Is this how Mandalorians receive envoys?" she shouted, trying to free herself.

"Shut up" another one yelled. "What is your intention here?"

"I already said, I'm an envoy. My master and I were sent by the Jedi Order to pay our respects for the death of the Duchess of Mandalore."

"She's lying; I'm sure of it."

"Why would I lie?"

"Just look at the weapons she's using. With a weapon like that, they killed the Duchess." They showed their lightsabers, and Astra tried to activate hers.

"Don't play with that thing. If you activate it improperly, you could cut off your arm" tried to get her attention, but when it didn't work, she used the Force to return the lightsabers to her hands and activated them to free herself.

"Are you planning to kill us too?" they pointed blasters at her.

"Don't you know anything!? Jedi don't kill! We are not soldiers; we are guardians of peace; we would never harm anyone."

"Then why did you kill the Duchess?"

"The assassin's lightsaber" she murmured, gripping the weapon. "What color was his lightsaber?"

"What's the importance?"

"Tell me if it was red!" she demanded without lowering her guard.

"It was. And what?"

"A Sith" she sheathed her weapons, and the soldiers did the same—. "It wasn't a Jedi who killed your Duchess; it was a Sith Lord."

"What is a Sith?"

"They are the enemies of the Jedi. They resurfaced a few years ago, and we have been hunting them, and they us, ever since."

"Why attack Mandalore?"

"I'll tell you, but I want to see your faces."

"Fine."

The soldiers took off their helmets, and she saw their faces; they were young, mostly older than her but definitely younger than Obi-Wan.

"I am Bo-Katan, the leader of this squad" the red-haired girl introduced herself, extending her hand. "Who are you?"

"I'm Astra Jinn, the Padawan of Jedi Master Yaddle. I work as a mediator in the Senate on occasion."

"Why did the Sith attack the Duchess?"

"To destabilize her government" she pointed out. "The Sith don't want Mandalore because of its location; they want it for the beskar mines."

"Why would they want beskar?"

"Good question. Is that your armor?"

She asked, and all of them nodded. She raised her lightsaber to attack Bo-Katan, who covered herself with her armored arm. This didn't surprise anyone except the Padawan, as, unlike them, who had seen their companion use the darksaber many times and the armor resist it, for her, it was the first time seeing an armor withstand the blow of her weapon. When the initial surprise passed, the teenager sheathed her lightsaber with a smile.

"Beskar is resistant to lightsabers; lightsabers are the only weapon Jedi use. If we want to find out who is behind this, we can't do it alone."

The Duchess's funeral was that same night, and Astra was in the front row due to her role as a mediator. Yaddle investigated with her, but let her mingle with the kids to make her feel like a normal person. After two weeks, it was more than clear that they would never treat her as one of theirs. After all, she was a Jedi, and Jedi and Mandalorians had been natural enemies for a long time. Fights broke out every day, and they seemed to make no progress at all. That was until the day of the appointment of the new Duchess. They were about to announce the chosen one when a series of droids appeared out of nowhere and started shooting; many were injured. The two Jedi tried to defend themselves and protect as many as possible, but the guards were falling, and the droids kept coming.

"Go, Astra."

"I won't leave you, Master" she replied, beheading another.

"You will. Go, notify the Order; have them send reinforcements. They won't kill me; they'll capture me. Now go."

Astra obeyed her master and ran towards the exit, taking cover. The streets were chaotic; the droids detained everyone who confronted them, and the Padawan had to reach the hangar to board her ship and send the message. However, when she was about to arrive, it exploded into a thousand pieces, making her crash to the ground. She felt her head buzzing, and her ears rang until she felt herself being pulled, taken somewhere else.

"Were you trying to escape or what?" Bo-Katan scolded her when she was safe. "Were you planning to leave your master? I didn't think Jedi were so cowardly."

"Would you shut up? My head is buzzing. Damn crazy, I wanted to reach the ship's communication system to contact the temple on Coruscant. I thought they could help us, but the ship exploded."

"Well, I hate to disappoint you, but it wouldn't have worked. They cut off communications, both external and internal. Officially, we're on our own."

"We have to find the leaders as soon as possible."

"If they haven't died."

"They haven't; most likely they're taken to an isolated area where they'll keep them as prisoners. We must find them before they execute them."

"We won't be able to do it alone" they looked at each other and then at the Padawan before taking her by the arm. "Walk."

The Mandalorians led Astra through a series of corridors and passages until they reached a hideout equipped with advanced technology. Inside, there were many like them wearing armor, training in different types of combat, not just hand-to-hand but also with various weapons and blaster accuracy of all kinds. It was impressive and almost made her wish she were a Mandalorian and not a Jedi. They walked into a meeting room where the squadron leaders gathered. None of them liked that Astra was there, but for the sake of this mission, they decided to set aside the stupid differences that would only delay them. With this in mind, they geared up and entered the palace through one of the hidden passages. There were droids in abundance, fortunately, with their abilities, they managed to advance, covering each other's backs.

To a certain extent, it was easier to move with Mandalorians than with common soldiers, mainly because the beskar resisted blaster shots, and Astra could focus on protecting herself rather than others. When they reached a secure room, they looked at each other and the Padawan tried to use her lightsaber to open the door, but she failed.

"It's beskar; your lightsabers won't open it" Bo-Katan informed her.

"Then tell me a better idea because this is what I have" she complained, looking around.

"Do Jedi surrender so easily?"

"We don't give up easily, but I don't know this palace" she looked at a control panel and a hatch covering cables.

"Do we have explosives?" she asked one of her companions, but all of them shook their heads.

"Give me your blaster" she demanded, and when the Mandalorian handed it over, the Padawan began to disassemble it and cross some cables to make it unstable.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm not an engineer, but even I had my pyromaniac phase; open that panel and run."

Having said that, she did what she asked, and they ran to hide. The blaster had become an explosive that ended up frying the internal circuit that manifested the closed door, and when it opened, it revealed the Viceroy, the Governor, and Yaddle, who seemed to be meditating.

"Master" she ran to hug her.

"My young Padawan. Did you notify the Order?"

"The ship exploded before I could do it; we're alone in this" she turned to the Mandalorians. "Or maybe not so much."

"See? Who did this?"

"We have no idea; the droids brought us here, and then they received a call for reinforcements. I guess it was for you."

"And in the throne room?" the younger one asked.

"What's in there?"

"They want to start a new regime under the shield of the existing one. And to do that, they need to appoint a Duchess; that's where we must go."

The alliance formed was strange to those present, but it was useful and relentless. The Jedi fought to defend the Mandalorians, and vice versa. On their way to the location, one of the droids pushed Bo-Katan through a window, and Astra managed to save her, claiming that she was her companion and that she wouldn't abandon her. When they arrived at the throne room, they found two officers who bit an electroshock device that ended up killing them. They couldn't discover who was behind all this, but they managed to prevent the conquest of Mandalore. The Jedi were invited to witness the appointment of the new Duchess, but time had run out, and they had to leave. In gratitude, they were given a new ship to return to Coruscant, and the young ones bid farewell. Not before Bo made Astra promise that she would call them if she needed their help, and Astra did the same.

................................................. .. ................................................. .... ..................................

"How many more times will we check that the Order is wrong before they take action and we change things?" the woman shouted from inside the room.

"Master Yaddle, you're going too far."

"Don't push me. This mission was suicide. We know what Astra means to the Order; she and young Skywalker are the galaxy's only hope against the Sith. And we almost lost her today."

"Our feelings should not interfere with our mission" argued one. "It's the fastest way to the dark side."

"The dark side" she scoffed. "The dark side already won this war, and no one wants to see it. Defending the light is useless when it has shone brightly enough to blind those who protect it" she left her lightsaber on the floor and raised her hood. "There is nothing more I can teach young Jinn, but she still has much to learn; someone else will have to be her master now that I am leaving."

With that, Yaddle left the room and walked to the hangar, ready to return to her home planet. She had realized too late that her place was no longer with the Order. She was about to board one of the ships when someone touched her shoulder, and when she turned around, she was met with a familiar smile.

"Astra."

"Were you planning to leave without saying goodbye, Master?" she asked, kneeling to be at her height.

"The Order is no longer a place for me."

"I figured that from the moment you decided to train me. We don't discover what the world is, its beauty, or its dangers, by staying within a temple."

"How could you have taught me so much? If I am your master."

"And you always will be, Master Yaddle. It's time for you to find your own path."

"Do you want to come with me?" she asked, lowering her ears.

"I wish more than anything, but it's not my destiny. My place is still here. Perhaps the Force wants us to meet again someday."

"Then I'll eagerly await that day, my Padawan. May the Force be with you."

"May the Force be with you, Master" she responded, watching her walk away.

................................................. .. ................................................. .... ..................................

"You're already 22, Padmé" Astra retorted, finishing putting on her boots.

"And what does that have to do with anything?"

"You're old enough to stop acting like a 6-year-old eager to go to that festival."

"Don't they have festivals on Paraddle?" she removed her jewelry.

"I haven't been to Paraddle in a long time" Astra recalled, helping her adjust her corset.

"You must remember something from your home."

"I don't remember festivals, but I do remember everyone being happy all the time" she let go of her. "The queen ruled with justice and mercy; the children were healthy and ran through the palace gardens and the streets of the village. There were no festivals; they weren't necessary. Every day felt like a festival."

"In that case, I'll help you remember those days. And who knows? " she extended her hand with a smile. "Maybe you'll find your true love."

"Taking her hand, she shook her head." Speak for yourself; love is not part of the Jedi's life, and you know why.

"Padmi, Astri, the festival is starting; let's go quickly!" called Jar Jar, entering the room and pulling them towards the streets.

"Jar Jar, slower, or we're going to fall" Astra shouted.

................................................. .. ................................................. .... ..................................

Astra walked through the temple corridors after a long day of training. All she wanted was to reach her room, take a good shower, and lie down. If something had changed since Master Yaddle left, it was the training. With most masters busy, and after the incident seven years ago with the hanging masters, very few were willing to teach her. And literally, so few that Yoda ended up being her main teacher. Busy as he was training younglings, when he decided to train her, he ended up with more sore bones than if a bantha had fallen on him.

Still, when Astra finished bathing, she put on a completely white dress and walked through one of the secret passages of the temple to leave without being seen. She headed to the garden, where she found the tree that had fascinated her father so much. She caressed the trunk, sighed, removed the music box from her neck, and placed it on the ground to listen to its sweet melody while meditating. With closed eyes, she gently felt the Force flowing through her body, from head to toe, filling her.

"Another year since you left, Dad" she whispered, feeling a tear run down her cheek.

Despite this, Astra didn't open her eyes. Qui-Gon's last attempt to teach her was to clear her mind, and every year on the anniversary of his death, she dressed in white like a bride and went to that tree to clear her mind. She never imagined that her father always came to see her, stroking her hair with a sweet smile.

Chut Chut Pateesa

Happy Festival of Light everyone. I hope you are well and that this is a great day for everyone. This is the last chapter I wrote at the time, and I hope you like it as much as I do.

In a while I will be uploading a bonus (which serves as a fix for a problem that Tales of the Jedi ended up causing). And with that, this first season that has brought us so much joy will end.

As I ask you lately, please go follow me on my social networks and accounts.

As I always tell you, beware of the Sith and remember that "Only when you know why you are not ready, will you be ready." May the force be with you.

Paul's edition

Hold on your pants, because we are at day seven, favorite casual outfit. And we all know that Paul's outfits are the best. Especially last year, I even started to using #Paul is fashion icon now. Paul can wear the most ridiculous clothes and still look absolutely gorgeous. And I just can't post one, not even my normal three photos. There is just too much amazing outfits. I feel like small kid in the candy shop....

Let's start with this one. It is perfect, I love the sweater the most. I looks so cozy and the torn detail is very nice touch. Plus the scarf and beanie and absolutely breathtaking view.

Photos found on Paul's instagram

I posted this outfit before, in barefoot day, but I can't help it and post it again. This azure PJ with ornaments is the proof that he really can wear anything and still be cute. I also love his pearl necklace.

Photos by Rammexicanos

This outfit is simple, but I love it since I first saw the video of him playing the guitar. Black top is perfect for arm and tattoo admiration, which is my favorite thing to do.

Photos found on Rammstein Belgium FB

I am forever grateful to Mark for all video and photos he made with Paul (and Arielle) and I hope he will make much much more. It is always fun. I remember the first time I saw these photos from cinema. Beanie, sweatpants, boots and mainly this jacket. Again, this jacket is actually terrible, but it looks so good on him. I can see him in the store, haunting for the worst clothes to wear it and be cute. Plus this jacket costs 1 500 euros, which make it even more crazy.

Both photos found on Mark's instagram

Another outfit set is called 'Paul wears grandpa sweaters and absolutely rock it'. Do I need to write more?

Photos found on Rammstein Belgium FB

Ok, I need to stop it. Let's end this day with this cute, summer look. Especially the one with oversize shirt, look so comfortable.

I have decided to take up the offer not extended to me to ask about the eswap sillies. any worldbuilding for Katherine and/or Dawn you're willing to share? 🥺

WIN FOR MEEEE i get to talk about katherine <- literally likes nothing more than doing this

there's a couple stuff i'd love to talk about that are big spoilers BUT should be dealt with in just a few interactions so whenever our bit of eswap starts back up again, you'll hear about it! i have a fic ready n loaded & im sooo excited 2 use it

but for now:

Dawn is a very close knit community! everybody knows everybody and people don't really act differently towards the monarch family than anyone else

they DO have a team of elders - sunborn who have passed their prime and not died about it yet. they're seen as people who were blessed by the sun to have longer lifespans, and therefore are given wisemen roles about it

The monarch family generally only has one child per generation. its. its a little lonely

the monarch family is set apart from everyone else just by having a certain kind of healing magic that no one else has

monarchs can only go from becoming princes/princesses to kings/queens through a coronation. it's about a year long process

let's talk about it ^-^

during this year, the current king & queen retract themselves from the ruling process except for whenever the prince or princess asks for something. This is in order to get the young royal to learn how things work, year by year. problem solving!

during this time, the parents plan the coronation. it's the largest party dawn hosts, and while they don't need the whole year, it's used well to make sure the party is perfect

the party starts at, you'll never guess it, dawn, and ends at dusk. one full day of celebrations!

everyone is dropped from the requirement to do anything, which means that nothing is perfectly fresh, but first thing in the morning, everyone brings out whatever they want to bring to the party and lays it out, and after that it's first come, first served. specific things are set aside to be eaten at certain times of the day (like breakfast, lunch and dinner).

music is made either by jukeboxes or by volunteers who are excited to show off a fun project

over all it's just a fun time to get morale up and bring everyone together with no stress

um!! katherine moments!

she doesn't actually wear the pink robe that gem has on her skin all that often

although that's just because she's a workaholic and that robe is to put on top of her farming outfit in order to come across as more princess-like

she would totally wear that thing (and other pretty things) more often if she wasn't always scared to get them dirty because. again. workaholic

her favourite dawn holiday is when she officially gets to introduce the bees to the dawn children

she also finds a lot of joy in hanging out with the bees :D she likes headbutting them. they're cute

her parents are dead

she has beef with the elders

katherine is. a woman with so much rage in her soul and she is stopped from using it because she is a pacifist

she is aware of how to use a sword but has never used it against a person. i'll actually say that most dawn citizens know how to use a sword properly but have never used one against a person

she is. sooo so oblivious she does not know things she does not notice things she does not get things. okay.

she is irresistible to women and also joey. she is now less irresistible to him because he has a boyfriend. sausage :D

she forgets (often) that kissing is generally a romantic thing

she stops forgetting this when it comes to her crush

she has a crush on pearl of the escent moon. don't worry about it

she has so much guilt in her heart and she will not tell you about it thank you very much. you aren't her therapist

she does not have a therapist

she is polyamorous. i hope this helps. she does not yet know she is polyamorous. she is really bad at being normal about her crushes EXCEPT when talking to them. but if you catch her talking about them while not in front of them then. literally she looks like this the whole time: 0/////0

i love her with my whole entire heart

[rainy-day-coffee]

Hey! Good day? I hope so! I'm sorry if I write something wrong, english isn't my native language. Well... I have an idea veeerryy funny! Like, the dorm leaders have a gf, the only girl on nrc. But something goes wrong in alchemy class, the potion tha she is making explode and she becames a boy. How would the dorm leaders react?

Hello! It’s been quite a nice day for me, thank you! I hope it’s been going well for you as well! And your English is just fine don’t worry! This was a lot of fun to write! Though I’m sorry nony, I think I made this way more cheesy than funny!

Dorm leaders reacting to their fem!s/o turning into a boy!

Red in the face and not because he’s blushing

Not at all bothered by your new physical appearance, he’s more concentrated with your blunder in potion making. The effects of potions are only temporary after all!

He’ll scold you first and foremost. This is why you need to follow everything exactly as the instructions say!

Depending on the severity of your reaction to the whole ordeal, he’ll either make the reversal potion himself or force you to make it 

Just a warning to you, you’re most likely going to be stuck with the latter

He expects you to improve from your mistakes

If he forces you to make it on your own, he'll stick around to help you just a bit!

In the case you ask for some reassurance, he'll shyly peck your cheek and tell you you're still the most beautiful rose he’s ever seen

Thanks to his keen sense of smell he's able to tell who you are straight away. You could probably turn into a krill and he’d still somehow know it’s you!

Leona wouldn’t mind too much to be honest, he’s very chill about it. His herbivore is still his herbivore, right? No need to make a fuss then

However, if you were uncomfortable in your new body, you can bet that he’ll march off to make you a reversal potion.

He will not trust anyone else in making it

If you’re okay with staying that way for awhile, he will treat you no differently! Just cuddle with him and sleep the majority of the day away!

Would 10/10 let you borrow his clothing if you need something to wear! Cuddling AND yet to get to smell like him? Perfect

Who knows, you two might just sleep the potion’s effects away

If you were any other student in this entire school and came to him for help, he would coax you into a signing a sketchy contract with him. But you aren’t any other student, you’re his precious pearl! You get a discount!

He probably thought you were another student doing a bad impersonation of his girlfriend. He does run a shady business. It’s not odd to encounter a couple of interesting individuals

Cue a blank look and dramatic sigh when he discovers you are in fact his girlfriend. He then smirks with a new found glint his eyes. He will see this as an opportunity.

He’ll make you a reversal potion on one condition! Give him cuddles and kisses. A good deal, no?

He’ll be disappointed if you deny him. He might try and slink off to his octopus pot in embarrassment too. Just give him those cuddles and kisses and he’ll be fine!

He lets you borrow his suits so you two can match! The twins will tease you a lot, but it's not like they don’t do that already

I have a very strong feeling something similar has happened to him in the past. Jamil nearly had a stroke that day

Bless this boy’s soul, he really thought you might have been his girlfriend’s twin brother. He even introduced himself and everything. He was ready to throw a welcome party too

A little embarrassed when you explain what happened. You assure him it’s okay though! He was simply being his usual sweet self

He’s very quick to lavish you with compliments! Look at his girlfriend! She’s beautiful in any form she takes! He probably goes so far as to try and show you off to the rest of the Scarabia dorm

It’s very hard not to practice self-love when you’re around this ball of sunshine

He would try and make you a reversal potion! It may not go so well though. He then offers to ask Jamil to make you one!

If you decide to stay in this form until the effects wear out, he’ll dress you up in so much clothing. Specifically clothing from the Land of Hot Sands! He compliments you every time you change into something new!

He knows mistakes happen so he isn't all too angry. That doesn’t mean he won’t scold you!

He’s not one to conform to gender norms in the first place. He doesn’t care that you suddenly underwent an accidental sex change

If you feel insecure about being in a body you aren’t used to, he’ll compliment you in his own way. A little offended if you think he’ll love you any less though

“Remember dear, confidence comes from within. Despite what may happen always keep your chin up.”

He lets you decide what you want to do

Want to be turned back immediately? He’ll whip up a potion for you in no time! Something as simple as that is no trouble for him at all!

You wish to remain in this form until the potion wears off? He’ll dress you up in a variety of his clothes! Nothing but the best for his dearest!

Impromptu fashion show? Impromptu fashion show.

Rook may sneak in to watch

Will most likely go over the potion instructions with you so this doesn't happen again! He needs you to learn to do things on your own in case he isn’t there to help!

He might not recognize you at first

Has a heart attack when he sees you for sure. Who is this normie that barged into his room uninvited? Why are they talking like they know him?

Would probably laugh at you a little, you messed up that badly???

Ceases his laughter immediately if you're distraught. He didn't mean to make you feel worse! He just thought it was a little funny!

If you're worried about what he thinks, he'll quietly reassure you he doesn't mind. He fell in love with your personality, not your physical appearance! He's shy and struggles in telling you this but he's trying his best

He'll let you borrow his clothes if you don't have any suitable outfits! It doesn't matter if you've already worn his stuff, he will blush just as hard. May sneak a picture or two when you aren’t looking

He’ll be quick to make you a reversal potion! Whether you decide to use it or not is entirely up to you!

He’ll know immediately it’s you

Don’t even try and prank him, his reaction won’t be that worthwhile

He’s so sweet and calm about the situation! He’ll first make sure that you’re alright both physically and emotionally

If at any moment you feel self-conscious, he’ll kiss you softly. It’s all you need to know he doesn’t mind you this way either

Once he’s assured that you’re fine, he’ll tease you lightly! His little beastie really jinxed up this time!

He doesn’t have many clothes that aren’t formal, except for the souvenir T-shirts Lilia buys him on his many trips. You’re free to wear those if you’d like! 

A certain green-haired retainer may or may not be extremely jealous of you

If a reversal spell exists he can cast it for you in heartbeat. Or if you’d like to mess around awhile in this new form, be his guest! He might just join you in pulling a joke or two on the rest of the Diasomnia members! Lilia probably won’t fall for it but Silver and Sebek may not be as safe
