#and mayhaps a surprise

Spin the Bottle ft. the ND Girls

pick a number, then click "read more" to see who you got! No peeking bc it's not as fun then :(

Quinn. The two of you share the most passionate kiss of your life. You're pretty stunned when you finally pull back, only to see Quinn looking over at her ex instead of you. She was just using you to make them jealous. You're strangely okay with that

Unique. You're both equally giggly and nervous before the kiss, but it ends up being incredibly sweet and cute. You don't date, but become fast friends after the party. Besties who sometimes still kiss. In a totally platonic friend way. That's a thing, right?

Santana. When the bottle lands on her, she practically lunges across the circle to kiss you. You end up hooking up after the party. At school the next Monday she claims she has no memory of said hookup. You fool around again. She pretends it never happened. Again. The cycle continues indefinitely

Sugar. She's super excited to kiss you, which you find flattering. The kiss is nice but brief, and immediately afterwards she starts making plans for a date. She takes you shopping the next weekend, and you quickly realize it's all just a ploy to buy you some better clothes. You accept the free stuff without an argument

Rachel. You're both pretty drunk but enjoy the sloppy makeout sesh. Afterwards she declares you her new duet partner. You blow everyone away with your musical chemistry. You share a few more equally spectacular duets in glee club until eventually she breaks up with you, claiming you keep trying to upstage her

Lauren. You barely even have time to register who the bottle lands on before Lauren is grabbing you and pulling you in for a kiss. It's the best kiss of your life. You try to talk to her about it after the party, and she says if you talk to her again she'll kick your ass

Suzy Pepper. Wait, what? You're pretty sure she graduated several years ago. How'd she even hear about this party? You share a quick peck and hope that's the end of it. It's not. You start receiving phone calls in the middle of the night and hear nothing but breathing on the other end. Peppers appear in your locker, your backpack, even on your pillow. You think you see the reflection of her glasses out of the corner of your eye. When does it end?

Tina. You both can barely stop giggling long enough to actually kiss. But once you do, there's no stopping you. No one else can keep playing the game because you're both laying on top of the bottle, so the circle disperses as everyone tries to find something else to do. You start officially dating after the party, and are inseparable for the rest of the school year

Mercedes. Both of you laugh and roll your eyes before the kiss, lamenting on how silly this game is. But there's an undeniable spark after the kiss. You date in secret afterwards, trying to avoid the drama of having the whole club involved in your relationship. You go your separate ways after graduation but agree to keep in touch as friends

Brittany. The two of you make out while everyone cheers you on. You spend the rest of the night dancing together. When you try to talk to her about it at school the next week, she claims she doesn't know what you're talking about. She vividly remembers making out with a rainbow unicorn who then took her to the space disco. You're too confused to bother with it any further

A Linked Universe meets The Dark Crystal AU! I don't even remember what started it at this point. I remembered that the Dark Crystal and Age of Resistance are things I like, blinked, and woke up three days later with an AU and a bunch of art.

The designs and the story are a wip and for fun so expect a lot of variation! (I have a few different beginnings, ideas for different designs, etc)! :D

In addition to #linked universe I'll be using the tags #the dark crystal lu au and #courage of the dark crystal!

Rereading drafts got me like:

(It’s literally 2:58 am as I *start* writing this here, straight into the post, after an already long night. But alas, creativity is a fickle one, and at least I already wrote out most of this in my head in the past 15 minutes.

Anyway, enjoy a very quick sleepy-time Webby drabble. 💝)

————

For a repeat miracle

The night Della returns from the stars, Webby is a mixed bag of emotions.

She’s happy - she means it with all her heart, swear on a stack of her favorite swords - she’s really, genuinely, down-to-Earth happy.

Della’s back!

Arguably the greatest mystery the family’s ever faced now has a very satisfying happy conclusion. The case is solved! The boys have their mother back, Uncle Scrooge looks like he has had new life breathed into him, and Webby’s heart is about ready to explode from all the emotion the McDuck Manor foyer just witnessed.

And she’s excited to get to know Della! To ask her a million-and-one questions for her McDuck Family Files (she really wants to know how Della’s prosthetic leg helps her in combat, based on the little tidbits they’ve already heard), and to have another awesome adventurer to look up to and learn from.

But as the first welcome-back-here’s-all-the-holidays evening of cake wraps up, and Della herds her boys to their room while Granny guides Webby distinctly away from them and the mess of a dining room towards her own bedroom, the negative emotions begin to creep in.

Because, at the literal end of the day, that’s their family. Della is the boys’ mom, and Donald’s sister, and Uncle Scrooge’s (the urge to revert back to saying “Mr. McDuck” is strong tonight) actual niece, and Webby… Webby was really not much more than a guide to help the boys find their way through the mystery of the Spear of Selene. Webby’s just…the housekeeper’s granddaughter all over again.

(The more rational side of her knows that these are just her own insecurities talking, and that, truly, she’s earned her place in the family square. But the events of the past few hours have left her rattled, and she needs time to let her feelings play out in a healthy way.)

More than any insecurity though, Webby feels jealous, which is amplified after she finishes getting ready for bed only to sit down at her desk instead, flicking on her bright desk lamp.

The cover of The Myth of the Shadow Realm gleams up at her.

Despite all beyond-impossible odds - really, after ten years, and all the fruitless search efforts, and the dangers of space, how could they not think she was dead?! - Della came back to Earth. She came home.

Ten years, in space!, and she found her way home.

To say it’s a miracle would be an understatement.

So why does that miracle, with the more-incredible odds, get to happen?

In the same vein, Webby feels hope.

That happened, so why not this?

Why not one more miracle, to bring a different lost girl home to Webby’s eager, anxious, waiting arms?

Webby will ninja-kick-flip all odds to make it happen if she has to.

For now though, all she can do is flip pages, and hope.

——

When Bentina finds Webby in the morning, curious as to why her granddaughter wasn’t up-and-about like usual, a wave of pity creases into her brow.

Webby’s hunched over a book in her pajamas, a blanket pooling at her back and the wrist with her friendship bracelet curled into the crook of her neck protectively, as she breathes in the steady rhythm of sleep. It doesn’t take more than one glimpse of the word “shadow” on the page beneath her arms for Bentina to know what kept her at her desk all night long, again.

With a sigh, Bentina turns off the desk lamp and gives the young girl the gentlest of nudges on her shoulder. “Webby, wake up, dear,” she coaxes. “Do you want some juice?”

A softly-mumbled “mm-hmm” answers her, and Bentina takes the opportunity to lift Webby from the chair while she stirs. “C’mon then, we’ll get you some juice.”

As mighty as she is, and as much heartbreak as she’s already experienced in her young life, Webby’s still so small and precious, and sometimes (especially after last night) Bentina needs to let herself cherish the moments where Webby is more child than warrior, where she still needs her.

But even in this moment, Bentina still can’t fully protect Webby. She can’t stop Webby from looking sleepily over her shoulder back to the book on her desk, and hoping, beyond all hope, for a repeat miracle.

tbh i wish aup had more reps for characters who achieve greatness purely through hard work and effort. the emphasis on genius/being special is mayhaps way too much to the point that it feels kinda damn depressing for those who aint born as one.

Now you see:

I don't know whether it's actually DID (though that would explain... many things), but I do.

Constantly.

Refer to different personalities I have by different names (in my head cos, hey, I'm already eccentric enough irl lmao). Or different states of me by different names.

I dunno. Could just be a silly goofy me thing, but playing as a character with DID (and having to do a lot of research into it) has me thinking that maybe it's not just a silly goofy quirk of mine

[avatarofcuriousity]

IT DOES EXIST

[detectivelokis]

❓️ + Charlie: why are you even considering Leon 😭

“Well, I have been told I have bad taste in men.”

*Charlie looks away for a moment, biting back a smile*

“No, but the truth is, I wouldn’t have made it out of Raccoon City if it weren’t for him. My whole team left me behind to die! I was injured! I know that’s not a good reason to date someone and I have been made fully aware that he isn’t my type, but the heart wants what it wants. And it wants someone that sees who you really are and still thinks that you’re worth saving in the end.”
