#and it works well for the trio hehe >:D

[merakiui]

octavinelle trio who cannot understand human speech, so they mistake your gestures of friendly goodwill for courting and think that it’s an invitation to mate. unfortunately, you’re crying beneath them, so tense and uncomfortable, and it doesn’t take long for them to realize you’re scared. so they halt their movements, still buried to the hilt inside you, and sing a melody so lovely that once the soothing syllables reach your ears you gradually relax. it’s a hypnotic hum, a siren’s song, but you have no idea of its true nature because you’re too comforted by the beautiful notes they sing. of course such a melody would hypnotize humans so easily, especially when it’s something that has never been heard by human ears before.

and now that you’re no longer crying, even lacing your arms around their neck and pulling them in for a sweet kiss, they’re free to continue showing you just how much they love you, even if such love was attained rather dubiously.

« LoST SiGNaLs » || I ACT

SUMMARY

“Say, Sonic, how about you and I play a game? Think of it though as a tracking skills test! Bring me within a week the three pieces of the chaos pentagon and I will release your two friends. Refuse and they pay the price. Trick me and well, better for me not to indulge in what I will do in that predicament. Either scenario, I sti~ill win.”

~~~

When Tikal summons Sonic to Angel Island the hero would have never been able to imagine what would follow after. It is unbelievable to think that the guardian of the Master Emerald, Knuckles and the ultimate lifeform, Shadow are taken as hostages. As Eggman forces Sonic on a quest to retrieve an old artifact for him, entitled ”Chaos Pentagon”, the blue blur is to set after a journey with the aid of Rouge the Bat and E-123 Omega to find the three shards of the object in question.

For them to succeed they will all need to be on the same wavelength. Are they however? And what seems to be the deal with Sonic’s communicator? Secrets are lurking around yet no one bats an eye. Will the trio actually manage to get along in the end to save their friends from the mad scientist?

Set after Sonic Frontiers. Please meet the newly formed team of Lost Signals. Or not so new?

Heya, guys! Myler’s here! And guess what? Yep, yep! I have been as well participating in the STH Big Bang 2024 event with all the amazing writers and artists you have seen so far! Today is the last posting day so everyone is hoping that you will still enjoy the third batch’s works.

I participated as a writer on the event and I came up with a work called “Lost Signals” featuring a story around Sonic, Rouge and Omega because I thought it would be an interesting team to search the bonds between them.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to produce all the work since I didn’t work well with my given time, but it had still been a blast to write as far as I got, successful managing to cover ACT 1!

Big thank you to the @sthbigbang for hosting this lovely event! You guys rock and without y’all this event wouldn’t have happened and none if all these works would have been made. We will always remember the fun times we had while contributing in the event and the friendships or acquaintances we made along the way. You better take the credit you are been given for you deserve them!

🥁

And now ladies and gens and creaturas, a big THANK YOU to all the wonderful artists that accompanied me in this journey, @rapidhighway @rohansoutsidemydoor @petitcanard and despite my incompetence and FUULL delay, heh, they saw it through and were as supportive as one could be! Truly I wouldn’t have made it without them.

Be sure to congratulate them and check their astonishing art pieces for they are sure captivating and pretty much describing without words the story for you all to listen to and imagine~

@rapidhighway :: art! → CH 1 “Spirit’s Worry” who doesn’t love a laid-back sonic the hedgehog? I truly adore sooo much this art piece! The calm before the storm *cough cough*. I specifically got drawn by the flowers– like c’mon! They are so pretty! And palm trees. The colours all so vibrant and for real Green Hill couldn’t have looked any better! Dare I say I envy him -only at the beginning :)), shh-

@petitcanard :: art! → CH 4 “Mirror, mirror on the Wall” this art piece finalized the outfits and accessories of the characters which they all rooock!!! You can all see perfectly well from this specific work how the interactions have between Sonic, Rouge and Omega. I love how Omega wants to fry Sonic! “A not-completely-functioning team” she described them, which is indeed right, hehe.

@rohansoutsidemydoor :: art! → CH 8 “Keep away. Don’t come closer. Danger! Stop!” this made me write chapter 8 faster than the speed of sound! The realization, the mystery, the agony. Breathtaking! The expressions of the characters do make me have chills running down my spine and the blazy environment of the art, is top. They did the specific moment justice! << SPOILERS >>

Another part of my gratitude certainly goes to my beta reader @lunesart who despite my inactiveness at some point she was sure to check up on me and helped me lots with her useful tips and guidance. The speech without her would have been very dry and more complicated in comparison to the final result. Sooo special kudos to her too ✨!

Also– before I wrap things up– HAPPY BIRTHDAY 🎂 SONIC 🌀💨 !

[dewphox]

you sdv oc is so gorg!!! is she a townsfolk or another farmer? and who would she be close with? :O

Heehee thank youu!!! She's kind of both and neither haha 👉🏻👈🏻 Her Granny (named Elfriede) inherited the farm. Elfriede is the baby sister of the granpa that died in the intro (in this version the granpa was a recluse and had no remaining family other than his little sister in the city). Although Dorothea isn't bloodrelated to them, she was raised by the granny in Zuzu-city. They moved to the farm after Dorothea suffered an injury to her leg (I'll get into that later when i have more time I think it'll be lost if it's just in a text answer hehe, so i'll keep it short to the best of my abilities)

I could also see it working alongside a canonical other farmer if i structure just a few details differently. Since here the farm they inherit is an alpine farm and it's like. If i ever have the skills to mod her in then it could also be a new area maybe somewhere extra in the mountain area since none of the canon farm layouts really match my vision 100% (I'm playing Dorothea on like, the wilderness farm without monsters since to the side there's a visible incline the closest i could get to some friggin height UU)

Also I'm still working on her relationships indepth. For now I can see Emily the most as a close friend. I'm debating on wether or not to make her a trio package like abigail, sebastian, sam but it's either emily, sandy and dorothea (would be the passion for fashion gang) or elliott, leah and dorothea (wine girlies <3). I can see both working really well with her :/

Here a lil mini overview of family relations :D

and bonus dorothea with decorated crutches UU

Cafe owner nanami ft tiny trio my beloved 🥹 thank you for blessing us with your wonderful art 🙇 (and slightly motivating me to draw too?!)

Idk if you've answered these questions but:

1. When did you start drawing? Both in general+ digitally

2. What do you use to draw? (Ipad + procreate or drawing tablet + csp or etc)

3. Who were/are your favorite artists?

Feel free to ignore this ask if you're not comfy w/ answering them ;w; thanks 🙇

waahh im happy u like itt!! and im glad it could motivate u to draw as well :D

and to answer ur questions:

1. in general, ive been drawing for as long as i can remember, honestly :') its just always been a hobby of mine. but i just started drawing seriously and digitally around aug or sept 2020 (during lockdown). this was when i actually focused on learning anatomy, colors and stuff!!

2. i mostly draw using procreate on my ipad!! i used to draw on my tablet (i think its an xp pen artist 12 tablet) and csp, but ive just been finding it more convenient to draw on my ipad since i can bring it anywhere hehe :3

3. aaaahhh omg im such a fan of a lot of artists that its so hard to pick a few!! but i guess, some of the ones that stand out to me are @/carrotsprout_ on twt (they inspired me a lot when i was starting out and i would say my art style was influenced a lot by her). @/se_5eeeee on twt as well, and also @/hunnismokah, @/ahresprite and @/to00fu (i follow them on diff platforms and i love their works sm)

thank u for ur questions!! :DD

[anima-writer]

maybe childhood friends with Adam and Jonah? where Jonah and the reader get to mess around with Adam!

Childhood Friends w/ Adam Murray and Jonah Marshall

Summary: Literally the title

Pairing[s]: Adam Murray × Reader × Jonah Marshall, Platonic.

Warning[s]: suicide (From Lynn Murray) and mentions of kids kidnapping.

Word Count: 827

A/N: Finally stoping being a tramp and working on the previous requests (:<

How you guys meet up?—

It's very likely that you guys got to know each other pretty early on, because I feel like Lynn would be the type of mom who likes to have a group of first-time moms where everyone helps each other out, you know? And because of that, you literally met each other at birth.

With all this news of mass child abductions, your mother ended up making the decision to throw away her TV as she didn't want to wait to find out what'd happened to you. It would have been nice if Miss Lynn had done what you mother also did earlier.

One afternoon, you mother wanted to stop by her friend's house just to deliver some things that she had promised to return, but when she entered the house, she ended up encounting with a woman hanging over the ceiling and the TV on, but only the rustle was heard. Your mother knew exactly what this scenario was about.

"Oh no... It happened." —said your mother with her eyes still focused on the dead body of her, now, ex-friend. Upon searching the room a little further, your mother ends up finding a small baby lying in the corner of the TV, sobbing and choking on his own tears. The woman picks up poor baby Adam and tries to calm him down before calling the police.

In short: the cops couldn't do much since the boy's own father was reported missing a while back and so the little boy had to be given up for adoption. Your mother ended up not liking the idea so she tried to go to court to get legal custody of little Adam. She did it :)

So...yeah... You and Adam are practically siblings now...yay!! :D

Now about Jonah, there's a large percentage that you and Adam met him together at school and became friends at the same time making the three of you a well known trio around school. Rumors are going around that the three of you were never seen apart, and those who see the trio separated would be unlucky for the rest of the week 😰

Just kidding! Hehe...or maybe not— 🤨

Your relationship with them two—

Your relationship with these two would be chaotic as the three of you are literally the troublemakers and like to pester everywhere you guys can step. Mainly you and Jonah, Adam even participates in these things but mostly he just stays with you just to follow and making sure you guys are still alive.

Now about your relationship with each one, let's start with our dear Adam!

100% sure you would have that classic relationship of siblings who are always fighting over everything but in front of mom they are the greatest angels that the earth has ever had. And if they are not fighting, manipulation is also valid.

"Adam."

"hm?"

"Remember when mom adopt you and now you're my favorite brother?"

"hm"

"...go take me a cup of glass—"

"fuck you."

What a lovely siblings relationship 🥰

Despite lots of name-calling, death threats, punches and all that's good... you two love each other very much and would never let anything bad happen to either of you :)

Now a little bit about our other sweet boy, Jonah!

Jonah would be another brotherly figure for you and Adam, Jonah ended up being such a close friend to the point that he could always arrange sleepovers, that was when you were kids but who says you can't do that in your adulthood?

"Guys, guys, guy—"

"TALK ALREADY!"

"I saw that my neighbor has candy but I need some distractions so I can take them..."

"..."

"Yes, we are totally in."

"Yes!"

Not a day is boring when Jonah is around you as he always makes a mess to get you all involved. There are times when you all participate but most of the time the biggest troublemakers are you and Jonah.

You two practically have clown-to-clown telepathy if you haven't figured it out yet.

Growing up together—

You end up not changing as much from what you were before, but one of you ended up changing drastically that you and Jonah would even think was cool, which was Adam. Adam was now a type of person who was always looking for something to risk and live an adventure. You and Jonah don't know where all that adventurous drive came from, but it's not like you're complaining, is it?

It didn't take long for Adam to find the perfect club for the three of you which would be the Bythorne Paranormal Club (which would later be changed by Adam himself to the Bythorne Paranormal Society).

In this club you end up meeting a new member for the group who would be Sarah Heathcliff!

"You guys are now a quartet! Nobody can stop you now!" — you thought with a big smile, little did you know that after participating in this society to hunt possible paranormal cases, everyone's lives would turn upside down.

[potato-lord-but-not]

Hello!! I stumbled across your The Truth art and it made me reread it for the first time in years and it’s so much better than i remembered!!! Your art of newspaper ot3 is making me genuinely certifiably insane, it’s so good. Do you have any headcanons about the newspaper trio? :D hope your week is going well!

Hehe I’m glad you enjoyed your reread!! And some headcanons just off the top of my head,,

• William and Otto are definitely bi, and Sacharissa has gay tendencies but still says she’s straight.

• Otto was hesitant to commit to the relationship (due to the societal stigma around vampires and queer relationships and the expectation that William and Sacharissa would marry) but was easily reassured (mainly by Sacharissa) that no matter what they’d make it work.

• eventually they all get married, and just to mess with people, when someone asks who they’re married to they give a different answer each time. (ie Sacharissa says she’s married to Otto but Otto said he was actually married to William etc etc)

• William was Gunilla and Bodeny’s best man at their wedding, and vice versa for William’s wedding.

there aren’t as many points as I that there were gonna be uhh oh well,, I must ponder them more

NatyCupcake's Tumblr Blog's very long "about me"

Hello all beings from Tumblr! I am Naty. I am 18 years old as of the date I am writing this. My pronouns are they/she, plus a list of neos I've yet to decide on... I am Brazilian, therefore English isn't my first language. I identify as a transgender non-binary xenogender person! (if you do not know what xenogender is, click here.) I have created this blog mainly to interact with the Pop-Culture Pagan community that seemingly resides mainly in this site, as well as witches and pagans in general. I am a Poképagan, which means I am a Pagan that believes Pokémon spirits/deities exist in this world and we are available to work with them as spirits/deities in a pagan context. For example, at this moment I work with The Creation Trio (Arceus, Dialga and Palkia), Jirachi, Solgaleo, and soon Xerneas. I have an altar set for the five and I will add Xerneas as well to the altar whenever I have stuff for her. My Pokémon altar is made of the cards of said pokémon, dolls/figures of said pokémon, and crystals. For example, for Arceus I gave a Jade/Jadeite, inspired by the movie "Arceus and The Jewel of Life" where the Jewel of Life is, well, a Jade (at least as far as I can remember). Don't think I'll post pictures of my altar immediately in here, if i do... I'm just a bit scared bad stuff will be sent my way, I apologize :,) I am very much a baby witch, as well as in the broom closet. I am able to light some incense and do some stuff with candles from time to time, as well as some simple protection spells, but nothing else, pretty much. I would love to change that sometime though! I am very interested in tarot, even owning a pokémon themed tarot deck I bought from Etsy! I brushed it off telling my parents they were just normal pokémon cards. They don't seem to mind my altar either. So, I'm alright! Hehe Now, for non-spiritual stuff: I love to draw and listen to music! I am a furry artist and I've been in the fandom for around 9 years. My favorite music genres are J-Core, Speedcore, Drum n Bass, EDM, Vaporwave, etc. Basically just electronic music. I also really love anime, my favorite genre is magical girls/mahou shoujo! My favorites are Cardcaptor Sakura and the Precure franchise. My favorite Precure Seasons are Go! Princess, Mahou Tsukai, Smile, and Tropical Rouge. Something I should also mention is that I am a system and otherkin. I am a disordered system (OSDD-1a). Other mental stuff i have going on is autism, ADHD and BPD, so please do be patient with me! As for my otherkind (is that the correct conjugation? hehe) I am fictionkin and a therian. I have a ton of fictotypes, but my theriotype is a golden tiger. I can't remember the exact kind of tiger, but it's probably a siberian one. I will use singular and plural pronouns exchangeably, so do not correct me, please. For the serious stuff: DNI if syscourse participant, anti otherkin/therian, basic DNI (can't think of anything else to put in here... if in doubt, ask). I am planning on using this blog for digital altar stuff, as in reblog/post things of the pokémon deities i work with such as images/gifs, prayers, offerings, etc. Although if I don't post for a long time, don't worry! I simply forgot to post or don't have any energy to, and it snowballs until i completely forget about this app- but please don't worry! ... Well, if you do worry or just want to be friends, do add me on Discord! My username is the same i use everywhere (natycupcake). I am in there every day and I'd love to meet fellow pop-culture pagans or just people who want to be friends with me! :D That is all, people! Gods, that was long. Thanks for reading it all if you did! ;P Until we meet again~

[akai-anna]

Hiya! I'm sure you're already aware, but since your DCMK gift giver dropped out, your gift giver has been switched to me :D How are you doing today?

I have to say, all the platonic relationships you listed out on your form really called to my heart (like the sakura trio, detective boys, mouri family unit, etc etc)! All of those characters are super near and dear to me, and I love seeing them interact ^_^ I noticed you seemed to especially like Vermouth as well--- what do you think of her character? I just think she's like, really cool whenever she appears on screen hehe

Also, I just saw your recent post about the new spy x family chapter--- I'm glad that other people were getting major Detective Conan vibes too, it was so cute! I'm not sure if you're interested in detco fanfiction, but it really reminded me of this really good SpyFam x Detco crossover fic on AO3 called 'Forged', by HikariAA. If Anya was a detective, murder cases would get solved much quicker, wouldn't they?

(In addition, forgive me for snooping through your blog, but I just wanted to ask about how your darling dog is doing now--- the one you mentioned in your other DCMK anon ask. You don't have to answer, of course! Regardless, all the best wishes to you and her.)

Hope you have a great day, and I'm looking forward to working on your gift ^_^ !

OH MY GOSH, HI!!!

Yes, I've been notified of the change, and thus welcome thee, with great enthusiasm! Thank you so much for accepting to be my gift giver so late in the event. *bows*

Thank you, I'm doing well today so far. A bit apprehensive, since I have an interview today, but I'll try to make the most of it. And once I get home I hope to get a few things done that I've been meaning to (but got distracted from gkjnfjkbn). And let me throw back the question at you: how are you doing yourself, lovely? Also, I would like to hear more about what you like about DCMK! Pehaps you could tell me something that you cherish a lot yet feel you don't see enough appreciation for?

A PLATONIC RELATIONSHIP ENTHUSIAST!!! And gosh, I agree so much, THEY ARE SO PRECIOUS, and they are the reason I'm stuck in DCMK. (I am digging myself deeper and deeper into this hole, and enjoying it.) I live for their interactions, be it in fanworks or canon. And you are 100% right: I adore Vermouth! (As I gushed about that in this particular ask, gosh.) But in short: I love how she is a morally grey. The way she can kill and deceive without batting an eye, being very competent too, only to have her 2 little treasures whom she would protect with everything she has, meaning her own life too? I love her. I love her SO MUCH. It's such a shame she appears so little, NOW THAT IS THE CRIME!!! I'd love to see more of her (WHERE IS MY VERMOUTH BACKSTORY- *GETS HIT*)

SPY X FAMILY IS ALSO PRECIOUS TO ME (THE MOST ADORABLE FAKE/FOUND FAMILY EVER, MY HEART), and to see the reference to DetCo in the most recent chapter? My heart absolutely MELTED, to witness two of my eternal favourites fused together. AND I'M VERY INTERESTED IN FANFICTION (in general and for DetCo too), YES, YES, YES. In fact, no day passes without reading a bit of fanfiction, since I tend to read between the time I go to bed and fall asleep. AND I HAVEN'T HEARD OF THAT FIC BUT I'M VERY EXCITED TO CHECK IT OUT NOW!!! (I love recs, I ADORE RECS.) THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! And yes *laughs* Anya would be a great help for sure!

And snooping is more than welcome, feel free to do so in the future, if you want to! AND THANK YOU, fortunately she is doing SO MUCH BETTER, she is not yet fully healed (liver needs lots of time to regenerate), but she is eating with gusto (very good sign) and is more enthusiastic and active (also very good sign)! We are due for a check up in a few weeks, to see if all the medication worked as it should. I forgot to take pictures of her, but have these fairly recent ones (right after she started feeling better) as a treat, of my lil darling. (You have no idea how happy I am to still have her with me, BABY DARLING.)

THANK YOU, AND I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY TOO!!!

Chapter One of my fic, feelings, is posted on AO3 now!

but anyways. figured i should prolly link it here, bc, well… why not? so uh, here ya’ll go :D

summary: In this universe, Harry still stumbles; he still makes that mistake (if a bit differently); and the Bastard still gets curious, and he still asks Harry to work for him because of his abilities as a medium – and, quite honestly on Mycroft’s part, because of Mycroft’s own curiosity.

But what if, in this universe, the same but also not as the first, Harry isn’t just a medium? What if he is, at the same time, also… something else? What if there’s a reason for Harry’s oh-so-very apathetic attitude to, well… everything?

-

OR: That one Whispers in Corners AU™ in which Harry’s an empath, and has been since having died and come back when he was seventeen, and how that changes thing – even if by just a little. (Or, well, a lot, really. Quite a lot, in fact.)

the first chapter has been posted now, and the second one is currently a quarter of the way done/in the process of being written :D it’s a Sherlock BBC/TV crossover with Harry Potter, like the og fic by esama is, and the ship is Mycroft Holmes/Harry Potter - as well as hints of QPR poly!Golden Trio planned for later on, hehe >:]

basically the premise is the same as esama’s fic, except for one thing: Harry’s an empath (he can feel other people’s emotions, basically, if you don’t know what that means), as well as a medium. this, as said in the summary, changes… things. wink wink ;)

Xue yang: hotter than Lan xichen.

Mo xuanyu: he's always hotter than Lan lips.

Rusong: A-Die, you look gorgeous.

Yao: aww thanks guys.

*throws flowers* orchids for everyone!!

Mo xuanyu: *cheering* Yao gege! You're always my orchid!

Yao: great!

Xue yang: Jiggy lanned more than the Lans.

Su she: I know right. This will be my reason to go back to the lan sect. Because of a hot Huangdi.

Yao: ah you all flatter me so much.

But I don't want to blush in front of A-Huan.

.Cloud recesses 📍

Next day, Lan Qiren woke up to see fox spirits having a picnic on his lawn ( along with some students.)

Qiren: hey!!! What are you doing on my lawn!!

Lan students: *running away*

Fox spirits: *bowing* greetings Lan Qiren.

Chen (fox spirit): we were hungry.

Yunxi: and felt a bit mischievous too.

Qiren: all you do is cause trouble!! Picnics and noise aren't allowed in the cloud recesses!

And why is my clay pot broken.

Chen: sorry. Xi meimei had fell on it and it cracked.

Why can't we laugh, old man!

Come on, you're our Huangdi's uncle-in-law.

X: your clay pot was ugly anyways, and it might upset our Huangdi.

Qiren: *sighs* Huangdi my foot!! I'll throw you out of here!!

Yu: heyy you can't do that.

X: Master Qiren, here's a list of Huangdi's favourite meals.

Qiren: do I look like a chef?!

X: well find one na! You maybe have a staff of chefs.

Yu: Huangdi is on his way.

Qiren: then why are you niucences here?!

Yu: we live in Gusu, Lan qiren. And we have decided to come here to get a glimpse of our Huangdi.

Qiren: *crying* what have gotten into this Xichen!! Who told him to marry the emperor of Hulijings!! Who? He's getting just like Wangji!

HUANGDI IS HERE!!!!

The fox spirits almost trampled over qiren, as they rushed to the entrance.

Xichen: *comes out and helps A-Yao out of the caravan*

Yao: *wearing white, teal and coral, with hints of gold, complemented by a white and gold fan. Instead of his hat, he wore Jade and gold peony shaped hairpins and a headband.

Xichen: gorgeous.

Yao: *dimples* oh Huan.

Fox spirits: *awestruck* look at Huangdi!

He's Lan furen!

He's so hot.

Greetings Huangdi!!

Yao: hi darlings.

Huangdi we didn't bring any flowers for you, sorry.

Yao: aw it's ok.

Qiren: *limping*

Xichen: greetings Shufu.

Yao: *bows* greetings uncle-in-law.

Fox spirits: *whispering* omg Huangdi is so graceful.

Qiren: don't use them dimples on me. It isn't going to work.

Yao: *smiling*

Qiren: now why are your hulijing menaces all over cloud recesses and Gusu?

Yao: *demure* I don't know. Maybe they're excited to see me.

Xichen: shufu, it's not A-Yao's fault. Look at how cute he is.

And of course these fox spirits who are Gusu residents would be thrilled to see their Huangdi pass through.

Qiren: *rolls eyes*

I'm glad that you didn't bring those maniacs with you.

Yao: shufu? What maniacs?

Qiren: the former Lan student, that broken finger one who keeps asking about my love life. And that Huadian ghost who looks like Wei wuxian.

Yao: ohhh, you mean team dimple. They're not maniacs.

Yes they are a bit mischievous but they're very sweet when you get to know them. *smile*

Qiren: whatever they are. I'm glad they're not here.

*sarcasm* would you enter please, your majesty.

Xichen: awww.

Qiren: I guess I should arrange a room for you too.

Yao: no uncle-in-law. The Huanshi is fine for me.

A-Yao's attendants: excellent Huangdi!!!

Qiren: *clenches chest* Huan-Shi!!

Yao: yea! Zewu Jun's residence.

Xichen: *blushing* yea my residence. Hehe.

Qiren: NO!! YOU TWO CAN'T SHARE ONE BED!! I won't let you contaminate the cloud recesses with papapa!

We already have wangxian for that!

Xiying: oh dear. Why is he yelling?

Fuying: you shouldn't deny the emperor. If he wishes to sleep with any of his harem members, in a desired place, he can.

Qiren: h-harem member!!!!

Xichen: concubine. Someone who's married to Huangdi along with~~

Qiren: I know what a concubine is!!

Fine. You two. Go to the huanshi.

Xiyao: thank you shufu.

~

Yao: *almost trips, but Xichen caught him*

Xichen: be careful Huangdi.

Is the clothes too big for you?

Yao: no not at all. But you know, I'm just tiny.

Xichen: aww. So that's why you're easily swallowed in cloth.

Yao: yup.

Xichen: *lovingly grabs his hand* should I hold your hand then?

Yao: *cutely nods in agreement*

Xichen: mn.

Yao: Huan, your cloud recesses is beautiful.

Xichen: oh really. I want to show you something near the Huanshi, and in the Huanshi too.

Yao: your surprises are always the best.

Xichen: of course. Heehee.

Yao: but don't be too confident. Team dimple will deduct a point.

Xichen: lol.

I wonder what they're doing.

Yao: hmm maybe hanging out with Song'er.

Xichen: ah. Speaking of Song'er, he's such a great successor of yours. You raised him well.

Yao: thank you!! And Song'er is a natural talent.

Xichen: like you.

Yao: *blush*

Huanhuan, I want to tell you something. But keep it to yourself.

Xichen: sure I will. Tell me.

Yao: A-Song has a crush on someone.

Xichen: what?!!! On who?? That's so great A-Yao!!

Yao: on A-Qing.

Xichen: that's really cute!

Yao: and I want to bring them together.

Xichen: you should, A-Yao. You know I'm a matchmaker too. And all were successful.

Yao: yes yes. Wangxian is definitely successful.

Xichen: I shipped other people too, A-Yao. Not only Wangxian.

Yao: then who else, Huan. *laugh*

Xichen: ummm......I ship Sangcheng.

Yao: ok ok. Let's say you brought them together.

Xichen: I say you should send Song'er to a spring and then tell A-qing to take a walk near that same spring. Works every time.

Yao: Huan no. Lol.

But I'll set up some dates for them, secretly. And I have Zixuan.

Xichen: right. Team up with him. Since that he's A-Song's uncle.

Yao: yup. Zish and I will make a team!

Yao: *hugs his arm* Song'er don't want me to tell team dimple, because they might tease him.

Xichen: *laughing* oh no.

Poor Song'er.

Yao: baby don't want to be teased.

Yao: anyways, speaking of them, what do you have to say about the random team dimple. Do they annoy you? *laughing*

Xichen: never! I love everything associated with you.

Yao: lovely!

Xichen: sorry about shufu calling them maniacs.

Yao: it's alright. My team dimple are extremely intelligent and skilled in everything. Down to simping. And I don't care what anyone says about them.

Xichen: aww. I love it when you stand firmly on what you believe in. You're extraordinary. *kisses* love you.

A-Yao.

Yao: A-Huan.

Xichen: you look so cute with that forehead ribbon. And those hairpins.

Yao: *smile*

Xichen: truly a graceful Huangdi.

Yao: thank you very much, A-Huan.

Xichen: Huangdi.

Yao: hmm?

Xichen: do you want to admire the moon together later? And have some wine.

Yao: wine?? In the cloud recesses???

Xichen: no one knows what I hide in my Huanshi.

Do you think that only Wangji can do that?!

And besides, I'm married to a diva emperor. Obviously I must cater for him.

Yao: *opens fan* how mischievous.

But I like it.

Do you sneak in meat??

Xichen: no. I'm still vegetarian.

But I LOVE your Yunping delicacies.

I would eat a little chicken, but only when it's made by you.

Yao: awwww.

Xichen: it reminds me of when you saved me.

Yao: Xichen you're the cutest thing.

What else did you sneak into the Huanshi?

Xichen: maybe roasted chicken at some time. But I didn't like it. Because it was from Gusu.

Yao: then what else?

Xichen: you.

Yao: *blushing intensly* Zewu Jun. What....what if....people hear you....omg.

Xichen: *yelling* I SNUCK A-YAO INTO THE HUANSHI!!!!

Qiren in the distance: *almost faints* shameless!

Yao: hahahaha stop!

So Zewu Jun. Can we have a music session like old times?

Xichen: of course. And you're so excellent at playing the guqin. You're a guqin prodigy.

Yao: you're the one who taught me originally.

Xichen: I believe that you knew how to play it already. And just practiced with me.

*teasing* maybe you pretended to not know how to play the guqin, so that you can spend alone time with me.

Yao: did it work?

Xichen: yes. And now I'm fully seduced by you.

Yao: happy?

Xichen: very.

Yao: good. *tiptoes to kiss him*

Xichen: *kisses*

Yao: where's your flute, Xichen?

Xichen: which flute?

Yao: *hits him with his fan* er ge!!

Xichen: I learnt that from Wangji. He once asked Wei Gongzi the same thing and that was the answer.

Yao: oh my!

Xichen: Anyways. Liebing is here. At the emperor's service *bows* and delight.

Yao: *giggling* er ge. You're making me laugh. You're so cute.

Xichen: because I feel like I'm in love.

Yao: maybe you are.

Xichen: mhm.

Xichen: here's the Huanshi, A-Yao!

And look, I planted peonies.

Yao: aww, er ge!! It's gorgeous. I love it so much!!

Xichen: *wraps his arm around him* for my peony.

Yao: *hugs*

*entering the Huanshi*

Yao: beautiful house, er ge. As always.

Xichen: yep. And look, I set up a little fox spirit shrine in the corner.

Yao: how sweet.

*sits*

Xichen: sometimes I would offer flowers.

Yao: aw. Does Lan qiren know?

Xichen: nop. What happens in the Huanshi stays in the Huanshi.

Yao: hmmm. Lan lips has secrets.

Xichen: don't tell team dimple.

Yao: *laughing* I'll think about that.

Xichen: they'll interrogate me more.

Yao: but I like when they interrogate you.

Xichen: oh my! Well at least it entertains you.

And I know that you're their everything.

Yao: right.

Xichen: *kisses his hands* Diva. Would you have a music session with me?

Yao: *blushing* I would love to.

Xichen: *pulls out his liebing*

Yao: *makes his guqin appear*

Xichen: let's see if Huangdi is still an excellent guqin player.

Yao: well, you're here to teach me, if I mess up.

Xichen: mhm.

Yao: *blushing*

Xichen: *plays his flute*

Yao: *plays guqin.

[merakiui]

Been waiting to do thisss

⭐️ for tmdg!!! Plssss!!!!

Omg I've been wanting to ramble about tmdg!!! Thank you for asking!! <3 there are many details to discuss, but I listed a few below!

(ask game)

✧ many moray eel facts and behaviors are scattered throughout the story. Like the gaping mouths to signal a want to mate or their toxic blood or how most morays aren't monogamous or how they're a territorial species. Additionally, since Jade and Floyd are canonically bioluminescent, I thought it would be interesting if they were able to glow brightly when they're attracted to someone. >:D

✧ "body language" is mentioned often. this is an allusion to The Little Mermaid (specifically Ursula's line of "and don't underestimate the importance of body language!"), but also a nod to how moray eels interact in courtship. A lot of the gestures are based on body language, and I love the concept of the trio using body language as a means of flirting or conveying certain feelings without having to verbalize them.

✧ the scene in which reader becomes a grouper mer,,,, moray eels and groupers are actually hunting partners. they have a mutualistic bond in which they work together to hunt for meals. it's initiated by the grouper approaching the eel's living space and signaling to them through body language that they'd like to engage in a joint hunt. this is meant to mirror the mutualism Jade and reader have as well as show just how good of a match they are. Even as mers, they are perfect for each other. <3

✧ the title "The Most Dangerous Game" refers to the short story of the same name, in which a hunter is stranded on an island and meets a general who loves to hunt the most dangerous game of all (human beings). For you and Jade, the most dangerous game involves navigating your situationship while trying not to fall for him and his charms. There's a point in the story where you may be able to catch Reader's shifting feelings. >:)

✧ you can tell Jade really does love you when he gives you the entire tray of mushroom brownies. Jade is a foodie with a big appetite and he loves to eat, so for him to bake an entire tray of something and then not keep a single leftover for himself,,,, oh, he's so in love. orz he wants to provide for you, not just by cooking meals for you, but in many other ways as well, such as when he comforts you during the times in which you get upset and cry. :D I like to imagine one of the biggest love languages for merfolk is giving gifts (whether that's actual materialistic items or something intangible like quality time). it's a guarantee you'll be well-fed with Jade because he loves cooking for you!!!!

✧ heliotrope symbolism (eternal love).

✧ the moon and star comparisons. you liken Floyd to a star: something that shines brightly but can also be popular if not read as the astronomical definition. Jade likens you to the moon because, unlike the stars, there is only one moon (Earth's moon) and thus there is only one of you. but there's also something so romantic in Jade pining for the moon because the sky and sea are so separate from one another. truly a bittersweet reflection of Jade's feelings. they're as deep as the sea, but can't be encapsulated in the solar system because there is no room for him there (not when you're so in love with Floyd and have made him your entire world). orz

✧ the recurring mention of scent. I like the idea of merfolk being able to scent their partners so that it's easier to find them, but also so that they can make it known to others that that person is taken. >:) Jade claims he's been scenting you for fun, but the truth is that he fully intended to let everyone know that you are his. <3 Jade takes advantage of your limited knowledge on mer customs and culture hehe.

✧ all of the times in which Floyd (the real Floyd) is being sweet to you (buying you perfume or kissing you on the cheek)... those are just his ways of being much too friendly towards you. he never had any romantic attraction towards you to begin with, which is why it drove Jade so crazy because you were looking at and loving the wrong eel!!!! T_T

✧ the times in which phony Floyd is talking about Jade are actually Jade's true feelings and actions. he really did stay up late to learn new recipes for you. and he truly isn't very physical with others. jade just loves you too much and likes being near you, touching you, kissing you, etc. orz he had to say those things as floyd, otherwise he would have just said them outright and he's trying to have some tact. ;;;;

✧ the dinner date scene was Jade's attempt at having a genuine date with you, but because you're so Floyd-brained you mistook his gesture as being part of your arrangement. ^^;;;; in fact, most of the times in which Jade tries to be authentic, you either don't believe him or interrupt him to ramble about Floyd LOL. but the dinner date was the one time in which he was hoping to do something with you that wasn't part of your deal and instead just something between you and jade. >_< he's trying his best...

✧ the waltz you share with Jade is 100% courtship. reader refers to it as a "competition, not courtship," but she forgets Octavinelle is underwater and thus, as Jade noted, both of those things are indeed the same under the sea.

✧ when you ask Jade what the both of you will be after your tryst in the Coral Sea, he leaves the specifics up to you for your decision. he does this a lot in the fic (such as asking if you'd like the dinner date to qualify as such) because, though he appears mostly confident in his actions and words, he's too cowardly to clearly illustrate what the two of you are and doesn't want to do so when he knows you may not reciprocate. he also just wants to hear the words from your mouth because he hopes that, after all of these questions, you'll eventually say the thing he wants to be with you: lovers. :D

✧ alongside Jade and reader having a few similarities (one of which being the obsessive degrees they're willing to go to for their crush), there's significance in their feelings and how they handle them. reader's chasing someone who will never turn around to look at and love her. Jade's chasing someone who only looks at him when he's Floyd. though reader loves to extremes, she's scared of that love being reciprocated, which is partially why she doesn't let Jade say "I love you," whereas Jade just doesn't want to love in silence. they're both not the best at navigating love, and the ways they do it are,,,, questionable. orz but they both understand each other on that level because they're so obsessed. it's crazy to crazy communication. to quote Azul: "a match made in madness."

[dynamic-k]

Scarlett Parker's results:

I actually do not struggle to say no, I'm actually good at knowing my limits and doubly can retain enough self control to, for example, avoid eating two different desserts, both of them. I'll pick one.

The stomachache later is a good reminder.

[I do sometimes give in, I am not perfect. But more often than not, I can and will say no if I need to.]

"Wants to be taken seriously"

Uhhhhh. Depends. It really depends.

If I am joking, sometimes it deflates me a little if there's a legitamately serious reaction. If you play at being serious, that's fine though, hehe. Trixie likes doing that. Reacting seriously as a front, but I see the twinkle in her eyes and the poorly suppressed smiling. :3

"super random" [aye yai yaiiiii, that is so truuuUUue]

"not enough rest" [....I don't believe I have the faintest notion what you're insinuating, I get a million decades of sleep every hour excuse me, this is blasphemy and lies-]

"does most of the work in a group project" [True!! Because I tend to just accidentally take over everything myself, oops- I work very nicely solo, sooo...]

[ Especially that one time we, of the seventh grade, did a frog dissection and I was probably the most excited kid ever, and my two partners in the trio group just kinda let me do most of it because he and she were both a bit more squeamish...]

Also the daydreaming one, yes. Very yes. So very yes. XD

Strengths are 100% accurate, HOW-

Am I overly optimistic? I do not think so. I like to have my positive views, my positive outlook on life, but it is not excessive.

Mostly my weaknesses are procrastination and oversleeping, and I know "procrastination" is an option, so how come I didn't get that- /Lh

Well, I certainly hope I would have lots of hidden talents, cause I know they will come in handy!! :D

"What do you mean I can't do 100 things at once?" Yeah, well, I'm a good multitasker, so CHALLENGE ACCEPTED- *probably flops to floor face-down after 30*

[I might make it to 80 things at once if I start exploiting loopholes like "digesting" and "breathing" and "blinking" and "hearing" and-]

I am 100% best friend material. U v U

As long as you can handle insane weirdness, anyway-

No pressure tagging go brrRrRRrrrRRrRRRrr!

Hiiiiii codes, I see three of the anons are hopped in here. I need no introduction obviously! I'm the most fabulous of them all (/j they're all so equally lovely and fabulous themselves and I love them).

You and Fire need to have Victorian levels of drama of vying for Loudly's affections. OR OR a trio of badasses, you and Fire being her affectionate bodyguards flanking both her sides and with loudly resting her arms on both your shoulders like the bad bitch she is! As long as there's dramatics I will take either one.

Also sorry to be on the other side but I voted for Cherry hehe. Didn't need no bribing, that's how much of a Cherry supporter I am o7!

. . . teaser.

“Daniel?” The older boy hummed, looking up from his extremely important job that was meticulously peeling bananas to make them smoothies. She settled herself on the tall leather bar stools to watch as the fifteen year old threw in a handful of frozen strawberries from the large freezer inside the sturdy blender with a splash of milk to add to the silky smooth texture of the cold drink.

“You’re not leaving, are you?” The solemn look on her face forced him to turn the machine off for a moment. He examined the way the edges of her eyes seemed to redden by the second, glazing over to signify the oncoming wave of salty tears.

Yeonjun sighed, making his way to her side to cradle her in his arms, leaning her head against his chest to run his hands through her hair. He didn’t say anything even if he heard the muted sniffles or the thick in her voice.

"You know what 영원한 means?" She shook her head, "Well, flower, it means eternally— forever. I promise you— cross my heart and hope to die— that I will be with you until the end of time, okay?"

Her mother was leaving, but at least Daniel was staying. She wouldn't know what to do if he left, too.

Daniel was funny. He was always the one that had pretended to be an ox to chase her around the empty complex when her father was glued to his chair in his office at the top floor and her mother was occupied by her endless meetings that she never understood what the need was for.

She knew him ever since she could think back in her memories, maybe he was secretly her brother. That would make a lot of sense, wouldn't it? Or better yet, maybe he was her dad— or her mom. He felt like one anyways, he was always the one that took care of her.

Eleven year old Heather knew that he couldn't be her parent, he was extremely young to be so, so maybe he was either her long lost brother— she didn't understand why her parents never told her, though. That is, if he was actually her older sibling hidden away— or an angel disguised as a fifteen year old middle schooler who liked to teach her to be nice to other kids.

Daniel was nice, he got that from his mother who was working as her own family's cook for the past ten years. Mrs. Choi was always smiling and she never scolded her whenever she snuck into the kitchen to steal all of the freshly baked cookies one by one.

In all honesty, ten year old Heather really did think that she was the stealthiest living being while crawling her way towards the kitchen island. The woman had always managed to find her slipping away through the sliding doors with a half munched cookie in her hand, melted chocolate smeared all over her lips.

Why did she never get angry? She always gave her a small plate of them after wiping away at her messy face, she always had the kindest eyes as well. Why?

She supposed that was why Daniel was so patient. He was the nicest person Heather knew and she would forever stand by the fact that Daniel Choi would be the most perfect person in all of mankind.

He was nice.

Her mother was leaving, leaving her to her father— was he even her real father? Heather didn't think that she had a single ounce of similarity to him in herself. He had the yellowest hair she had ever seen. Even the pale kid from her old fourth grade didn't have hair as saturated as his.

Heather had smooth brown hair, she was a brunette, and yet he had the curliest of blond hair ever. Her mom, on the other hand, had the silkiest of rich black hair. How did biology work again? What if she wasn't related to any one of them? She had eyes that looked like her mother's milky coffee, very light brown— Mrs. Choi always said that her mother never knew what actual coffee tasted like, always mixing it with soy milk to the point where it was more of a coffee flavoured milk.

Her dad had blue eyes, they were pretty— not to say that her mother's dark eyes were not, but eleven year old Heather was just saying. What if she was adopted? She really needed to pay attention to her biology classes. The short quiz about how genes work was closing up on both Jay and her, but her best friend didn't have anything to worry about anyway.

He had always been smarter than her, but that was fine. She could always be the brawn of the duo— or the cutest one that got all of the attention of the adults to distract them while he slid out of the room to buy a pack of Mentos candy from the nearest vending machine— it was always ten stories below his father's office, but that was fine. Jay was fast— so that they could try to make a bottle of Coke explode out in the garden.

Her thoughts were muddled up yet again, mind running at incredible speeds, remaining unexhausted from hopping on one train to the other. Where was she again?

Ah, yes, Heather wiped her tears away with the back of her sleeves, noting the way Daniel looked much older than before as he looked down at her with a concerned frown.

She wanted a cat.

“Danny?”

“Yes, flower?”

“Do you think mother is leaving because she doesn’t like dad anymore?”

“I don’t know, flower. Maybe.”

“Will you ever decide to leave if you don’t like me anymore?”

“Never. I will die before that could ever happen.”

“Okay, Danny. I believe you.”

“Good. Now, let’s drink our smoothies before they get warm.”
