dS rewatch shenanigans

So me and @mannequin3thereckoning rewatched 2.04 Bird in the Hand, 3.02 Eclipse and 4.03 The Ladies' Man (or 4.05, depending on the region; I like this ordering of the episodes better, it makes the season more equally paced to me). Somehow we picked a nice equal distribution between seasons 2-4 (sorry s1, I just did not have that much free time!)

It was fun to compare the impressions between us, a person who's fresh off a rewatch and one who didn't touch dS for some years :) Unlike my rigorous friend, I don't have it in me to do a separate post for each episode. It's all pretty chaotic, but here goes:

Bird in the Hand

It was funny to notice how much easier it is to judge the pacing of an episode while also chatting about it in real time compared to a regular watch. This one is pretty much perfect!

It's a great showcase for the side of Fraser that sometimes gets lost between screen and fic, or screen and meta—his lowkey permanent annoyance with his circumstances ("I'm not sulky. I don't sulk," he said. You know, like a liar!) and his masterfully contained intense anger. It's so funny how annoyed he gets with Turnbull! Finally, someone at the consulate who gets more shit than he does haha.

Also another great example of Ray consistently ready to both stir up shit and take shit for Fraser in a highly stressful situation where Fraser's hands are tied. “He’d shoot him for you if you asked"—even Dad knows <3 Linking this wonderful art to express my endless appreciation for how well-oiled Ray and Fraser's banter is. No one does put upon like Ray Vecchio. No one.

And, I mean, the emotional centerpiece of the episode is BRILLIANT. The tone balances on the usual dS edge between wacky and weighty juuust right for juuuuust long enough via Ghost Dad, and then it cannonballs right into heartbreaking because of the Ghost Dad in the span of two lines, sustains it for one of the most effective conversations in all of dS and eases out of it by—you guessed it—Ghost Dad diffusing the tension with continuous murderous overtures.

And I think Fraser's ✨Plan✨ in this one is a rare example of his speechifying that actually bares his underbelly as opposed to only expressing his beliefs illustrated by his experiences. He's very self-aware: he says to his father, "I'm no better", I, too, can't ask for help, I, too, can't express my love and my hurts—and then he goes and does exactly that—and then he immediately follows it by turning the tables on everyone and going "ah, but I stunned you all with my emotional openness on purpose so I could get the upper hand in the stand-off"—but it works both ways, and it's clearly also him using the excuse to actually be vulnerable for a second. Man, Fraser is a thing to behold in this episode.

But you can actually see how far he's come since the pilot, and how his partnership with Ray affected him—it's cool that this happens only two episodes after Ray bullies him into admitting his dissatisfaction with his circumstances. And here he's expressing grief, not the anger, not the desire for revenge, but grief, out loud, to everyone. "You broke my heart." Jesus.

10/10 episode, highly recommended.

Eclipse

This episode is like a favourite well-worn hoodie to me. Apart from the iconic "Do you find me attractive?" exchange it offers so many joys.

It's funny (The "now it's broken and it's working" exchange and "Mom, how you've changed—into cuban cigars" are both beautiful moments).

There's Fraser's "I'm acquainted with loss and, on occasion, loneliness" line which is I think a great thing to learn about him early in the season both if you tuned into the show without seeing s1-2 and if you're Ray Kowalski.

There's the great Ray intro, doubly so because we already had the intro, and were even given a lot of the info there that Eclipse reinforces (like Ray's compulsive need to express his vulnerabilities in hope of protecting himself from being judged too harshly, but also his competence—even if my man should really keep those glasses on—and his ability to think on his feet and his obsessive tendencies and his soft romantic underbelly and I could go on, we learn so. much. stuff. by the point we hear Fraser's exposition on Ray's professional record we're not even surprised).

I love that Fraser is immediately comfortable with his new position of being the more emotionally stable one in the duo, haha—while Ray Vecchio had his insecurities and great moments of learning to trust himself with Fraser's help, Fraser is clearly both fascinated by Ray Kowalski's openness and ready to offer his shoulder to lean on, with an added bonus of being in less danger of being perceived while near this dude who constantly makes himself available for perception.

Random little notes: I really love how Ray says his own name with so much disappointment when introducing himself: "I'm... *frustrated sigh* Kowalski." I love how he tentatively asks Fraser to repeat "friend" after his declaration of friendship. I love that he's a dork who throws the dreamcatcher like a frisbee. I love the b-plot letting us hang out with the station gang a little and see them stand up for each other. I love the insane angle on Ray's face while he's being interrogated (see: my eyelashes gifset). I love the birthday party. I love the crypt as a setting, and I love everyone in that impromptu holding cell.

And, in the words of my wiser friend, "ray finding out his imposter syndrome was caused by a guy who doesn’t even remember him is so very ray". I take my hat off to everyone involved in making this episode.

The Ladies' Man, which I'm very glad my friend suggested, bc otherwise I probably would've forced her to watch it anyway, and I'm not a fan of such cruelty.

Let's get some things out of the way:

Ray looks incredibly good in this episode. It's a crime to look this good AND suffer prettily on top of that. The fact that the camera that was already pretty obsessed with CKR these two seasons gets, like, terminally stuck on him here does Not hurt matters.

I have some Questions for the episode, and I'll get to them, but it's my top one dS episode on a pure viewing pleasure level because it pushes my buttons.

Can't say much about the cold open because it's pretty much perfect, tight and tense and we get the Homoerotic Calling Off Your Rabid Dog Partner When He's Losing It Before He Kills Someone, which is a timeless classic (complete with the obvious and iconic Look at me! Look! At! Me!), and Ray and Fraser are perfect characters to act it out. CKR is on fire, no notes.

One moment I somehow forgot from my many previous rewatches that really struck me during this one is Fraser's almost casual admission of imagining murdering his father's murderers—thinking again about Bird in the Hand up there. It's a great reminder late in the show, where we see this aspect of him less often, and it's cool that he can safely share it in the face of Ray's rawness, you know, as opposed to it being a great and painful admission when he's the vulnerable one.

A brief interlude to shake my fists at the sky and wail Why, o Paul Gross, did you have to add the singing—it's not just that the joke didn't age well, it didn't even land at the time, and I don't think it would in any episode, but especially here???— and the bark tea flirting—which is par for the course as far as dS goes and could be cute but it feels totally disconnected from the rest of the scene, let alone the episode, so, again, ???? It's not that I wanted a mournful monotony of an episode with no laughs—I would pick a different show then—but like, I think better jokes could've been made. Like later in the episode, where during a climactic scene they drop the "actually, all that exposition makes me feel a little thirsty" line, it works.

Back to the point: Dixie Seatle is fucking amazing??? Her and CKR work so well together that all the noise of failed gags and nonsensical continuity of Ray's cover and whatnot is super easy to wave away because they're the emotional core of the episode, and they deliver. They have such a fragile thing going on, with him being exhausted from all the guilt and her also being exhausted from his guilt on top of the, you know, the whole death penalty thing.

Which, speaking of, UM, that's one of Thee Darkest Premises in the whole show and encountering it for the first time was a trip, during a season I was not a fan of and considered dropping. And yes many rewatches later I'm still confused but grateful about it all. The world in this episode is brutal in the way it rarely is in the show; integrity and redemption and whatnot are big motives in dS, and the big point is usually that the world, imperfect and unfair as it is, can respond to kindness with kindness and this is worth upholding. It is Not So here; scenes like the whole precinct cheering away at the prospect of Beth's impending execution are just—wow, okay.

So, as far as dS goes, this is a super solipsistic episode. It's perfectly self-contained, and even though it could have, I don't know, implications for Ray the way some of Fraser's Bad Shit did for Fraser, it just isn't addressed in the end. And I don't think it should be. It's a character study, and whoever decided they needed a very heavy one for Ray is my hero. (Note: I think this is the reason I never read a coda for this episode that I enjoyed. Having your blorbo break down in tears right in front of his boyfriend right before the credits with no follow-up kind of begs for a coda, but—newp. It works so well because it cuts off with no big resolutions.)

And whoever wrote those two closing scenes deserves a medal; to have this much restraint is an achievement for late season dS. CKR and Dixie Seatle also deserve a medal each for creating something this excruciating with super precise line deliveries and body language.

Small things my mind always catches on:

Welsh and his pink duster, looking out for Ray

CKR's rolling over the car stunt (steam comes out of my ears)

tiny flashback Ray checking his hair in the mirror at the crime scene because of course he does

Ray casually fiddling with Fraser's hat as they walk around

Sam Franklin's whole deal. I mean, there's tension there. For god's sake he pats Ray's cheek like a proud mentor he played the whole time when Ray takes his gun during his arrest. I mean. Uh. Yeah.

the fact that truepenny quit her meta right before this episode is a human tragedy

Probably like 40% of what you've read above have been brought up or articulated by @mannequin3thereckoning, so thank her for all the fun. I hope we can do this again some time <3

Types of Comic Relief Characters

We all love a good funny character, but some of us just have no sense of humor and no idea how to create such a jokester! With that being said, today, I'll show you that writing a comic relief character doesn't always require hilarious quips and jokes! So, here are several different types of humorous character archetypes that you can include in your writing pieces! Just a heads up, I created the names for these types of characters, if they have a different one on the internet, I apologize! (I only did this because I couldn't find any real references on the internet.)

The Commentator - This character is just there to comment random things during situations to brighten up the atmosphere. Usually, they're really just a minor character who lacks depth because their only purpose is to make mirthful and entertaining remarks.

The Annoying One - This character loves annoying and frustrating people however they can. They tend to not take anything seriously, and in the eyes of characters, they are bothersome and irritating. But to the audience, on the contrary, they should seem endearing and witty! It's their personality that makes it so interesting to read and write about them, especially when you add more complexity to their persona! (Which is highly suggested, by the way.) Lastly, when creating this character, it's important to remember that part of the humor is derived from their words and actions, while the other part comes from the responses and reactions based on how other people react towards their antics.

The Happy-Go-Lucky Character - This character doesn't actually have to be super funny, as their main purpose is to relieve tension with their positivity! The Happy-go-lucky character is designed to appeal to the audience by appearing cute and wholesome with their upbeat energy. This way, they're typically a fan favorite! Additionally, they're often a pretty major character, so I suggest giving them some dimension! Again, they're not produced to be the most humorous type, but they're a great fit for any comical situation!

The Stupidly Smart One - Exactly like what the name states, this character is just stupidly smart. Typically, they're very impressive academically, but they lack logic and rationale. They also hardly use their abilities to their fullest potential because they have an abundance of motivation. They're often an incredible asset during any major event, but other than that, they're just there for the party!

The Hard-to-Read Character - This character archetype does not have a strictly set personality. In other words, it should be challenging to describe them with one adjective! They have a blend of several different personality traits that sometimes may seem contradictory, but it really just depends on the situation they're in! The main thing about them is that at times, it's difficult to tell whether they're joking or serious. For example, maybe they state something serious, but their expression displays otherwise. Writing this style of character will require a lot of effort and creativity, but I find that this archetype is very rare in novels so it's definitely worth a shot!

The Chaotic One (Duo) - This is an amazing archetype if you want your audience to have some laughs! I personally think it's much more fun to read (and write) about a chaotic duo, instead of just one character. This way, you can create hilarious conversations and interactions between the two! This character type lives almost solely to troll and isn't very reliable with things that don't matter to them. However, if you're writing a fantasy story, note that there is nothing wrong with giving them some overpowered abilities, as it shows more of their dimension and potential! If you're creating the duo, make sure that the characters causing the mayhem each have a separate personality. Typically, there is a 'ringleader,' who leads the shenanigans and is the most chaotic of them all. Additionally, there's usually a semi-serious character, whose job is to keep them in line. Nevertheless, they still join in the antics and reckless actions! Interactions between the two are mostly meant to be humorous, wholesome, and fluffy, so just have fun and let loose when writing this archetype!

Okay! These are six different types of comic relief characters you can use for your stories! Hopefully, this is able to serve as inspiration and/or a guide for you all! If you need any tips on bringing these archetypes to life, just ask, and I'll try my best to provide the quality information you all deserve!

Happy writing~

3hks :D

I'm rambling about the Warners and Scratchy again

Okay so in issue #7 of the Animaniacs comics the Warners wanted to look at an executive board meeting, got carried away, Scratchy got in trouble over it because he was meant to stop them, and Dr. Scratchansniff ends up going insane:

Look at how they watch the van leave. They're literally making this face: 🥺

Poor things miss Scratchy already!

A new psychiatrist is hired, and based on the unimpressed looks on their faces they clearly want Scratchy back, even before it turns out the new guy is insanely strict (and also insane in general as the end of the story reveals).

So of course after a series of zany shenanigans the Warners do their thing and set things right by getting Scratchy back.

It's sweet (even if it's kind of in a twisted way considering they lowkey kinda guilt trip him by turning on the waterworks 😅) that even after they got him sent to a psychiatric hospital, he still misses them. This comic released in November 1995, so considering how their relationship in the show had developed by season 3 it makes sense.

I just like what this story says about the Warners' characters. Sure, when they're tormenting "special friends" they know they're being annoying. Even when they aren't and they're just interacting with people, they know that they're annoying a lot of the time, they embrace that. What others may view as annoying, they see as fun. But that's just it, they do what they do to have fun, they're snarky but not genuinely malicious (when unprovoked, at least). Just chaotic, playful and extremely boisterous, sometimes to the point that they get carried away, and that can lead to unintended consequences. This happens in the show sometimes (like in "Schnitzelbank" or "Fair Game"), but it's nice to see that aspect of their characters not 100% played for laughs.

Their actions had serious consequences that negatively impacted themselves and someone they care about. There's no punchline at the end of the story where they drive Scratchy insane all over again or anything like that, they're genuinely nice to him for the rest of the issue because (possibly purposeful pouring puppy peepers aside) they were genuinely remorseful about what they did. They're smart kids, but still kids at the end of the day, who sometimes find it hard to control themselves. This story reflects that aspect of their characters well, all the while scratch-ing (ha) that "Scratchy is the Warners' dad" itch in my brain.

HII HELLLOO HIE

so I’ve already sent a recommendation before but idk if it came in beecause my wifi was rly bad that day so yk jus.. resending. Hopefully this time with no complications

May you pretty please make a Jax x (cat)reader with a (dog)puppet?

I took a lot of inspo from catdog on Nickelodeon, the only major difference is that the dog puppets small and connected to the readers hand so as chaotic and wild the puppet might be the readers got most of the control and the puppets shenanigans don’t effect their day to day lives…untill the puppet starts talking and embarrasses the life outta them purely on accident lmao

The readers more introverted and shy and the puppets more extroverted and talkative. So the reader sometimes has to depend on their puppet to do the talking when their social battery runs out or when they’re talking to someone new

I feel like Jax would would be closer to the puppet but would still be intrigued by the reader. Maybe because of a slip-up their puppet made about them or purely because of their..entire concept as a person?? Idk

Hed definitely attempt a few pranks on the reader (like he does to gangle) before the puppet starts yelling at him for it

Anyways uh TY FOR READING HAVE A GREAT DAY!!!

Jax x Cat!reader w/ dog hand puppet!

So sorry for taking so long to get to this, I guess it just got buried in and I missed it :(! I'm so sorry anon <|3

This reminds me a lot of that funtime freddy reader I made a while back, still like how that one turned out tbh

Honestly he probably says stuff that goes over the puppets head... on purpose... assuming the dog sticks true to stereotypical lighthearted happy go lucky dog character tropes

Or maybe it isnt a trope and I just ran into a lot of dumb dog characters in my life (shrugs)

Honestly I think jax would make light/poke fun at your guys' current situation with the whole, having to share the same body deal

Like damn it's not even like a fusion or rutile twins from steven universe scenario, dog is literally just a hand

Though that's assuming the dog was their own person before the digital world

"Pipe down little man" is thrown out whenever you and jax are trying to have a private discussion or do something cute n romantic

That

Actually makes me wonder.. like of course assuming this is romantic, or maybe the reader is with someone else, how exactly would something like that work?

I mean obv no steamy time is happening since the clothes are physically part of your bodies

So like. Does the dog puppet just. Stick out awkwardly to the side when you guys cuddle??? Do they eagerly latch on to one of yall?

Are you guys poly, or is it just you and jax?

Loads of questions

Honestly Jax has probably become annoyed by the dog at least once and probably put a paper bag over them/j

They fell asleep, like a bird/j

Mentioned this in the Cheshire cat reader x jax post but he would love messing and playing with your tail, get that man a fidget toy

Probably also pokes and probs your ears

Maybe even pets you if you allow it and he feels inclined to

Probably blurts out that you look dumb when he accidentally folds your ears back after petting

Playfully brandishes a spray bottle shen you guys are having a disagreement... may or may not make the tension worse

Chaos and the Lamb

Or: My Leshy X Lamb / Shrubwool headcanons (Sorry to the Kallamar fans that ate up my wet beast character study for doing Leshy first but a reply made me inspired)

First off, as a preface for pretty much any Bishop x Lamb ship in general to be healthy the Lamb has to be one that has either worked through their revenge/moved past it, obviously. Generally speaking in my interpretations of canon the Lamb would have gotten any closure/Justice they were seeking in the first go around and then by the time of entering the post game and freeing the Bishops from their eternal punishment they would have found another purpose in the Cult/as a God. So, aside from any lingering feelings over seeing them again, in their eyes, they got their revenge, sentence, and both the Lamb and the Bishops all got a second chance after death. Anything else is no longer personal (although more benevolent Lambs probably does have feelings for what a dangerous, stagnant state the Bishops left the lands in).

Leshy in particular I think the Lamb would have an easier time forgiving/accepting due to a combination of Leshy being the youngest and weakest and arguably having the least involvement/responsibility in everything that happened as well as by virtue of being the youngest/weakest being the one who spent the longest in Purgatory. So already the Lamb is a bit kinder to them than the other Bishops.

Leshy was the god of Chaos, so despite everything he does have a bit of a "Letting Nature Takes Its Course" mentality. While initially bitter about the whole getting killed and letting his family down and being put through Purgatory only to discover everything that happened after he was gone, he ends up having a surprisingly similar mentality to the Lamb in that there's nothing really "personal" left to feud over in his second life. He's pretty much neutral to the Cult, but warms up a lot more once he finds out the Lamb is freeing his siblings too.

As for how they bond... well, being young gods forced into a role without much teaching gives them both a lot to talk about. Leshy is actually surprisingly really competent in pretty much any task given to him despite his blindness and chaotic luck and tendency to get distracted. The latter can generally be solved by just changing up the things he's given so things don't get too monotonous. Leshy ends up finding that he enjoys being given tasks he thinks are "easy" and being rewarded with lots of free time and praise. In return Leshy ends up helping the Lamb learn a whole lot more about nature. Also tries to encourage them to have more fun and recreation time. Totally on a whim (and maybe to see what kind of trouble/shenanigans the Lamb would come up with for "fun").

The Lamb is surprised at how competent Leshy is at pretty much any job or chore given to him. Farming, Cooking, Bartending, Logging. Basically as long as Leshy can keep his mind on the task he's one of the most efficient workers around. Discovering that Leshy is absolutely and totally weak to praise and positive reinforcement was an accident, but one that Lamb quickly learns from and totally begins exploiting.

Finding out that Leshy is also highly weak to physical contact was also an accident. Probably tried petting him as a joke like one of the Dog followers after a good job once they've gotten more friendly with each other. This got a bigger reaction out of the worm than the Lamb expected. So they ended up doing it more, and Leshy pretty much turned into a mushy bush in their hands... And then the Lamb also ends up realizing at the same time how starved for touch and physical affection they are.

It just progressed from there. Pretty much any time they talk to each other, at least a bit of touching will ensue. It grounds them both. A comforting presence despite everything. Petting, holding, brushing, a gentle touch amidst chaos. The Lamb feels relaxed in ways they forgot/never knew by being able to hold and lean on someone whenever they want and having that someone respond positively. Leshy highly enjoys feeling different parts of the Lamb (and also enjoys the Lamb's reactions and tries to imagine/remember what they look like).

They get pretty mushy even in public. It's fondness expressed not in words or kisses but in holding hands, caresses, touches, nuzzling even in the middle of conversation. Followers and onlookers are either jealous, d'awwing over how endearing it is, embarrassed over how much handholding is going on, or completely baffled if they're more familiar with the history.

As an aside: The Lamb's bell ends up becoming one of Leshy's favorite noises. It sounds nice, and nowadays means something good's probably going to happen to him in a moment. Mortality isn't so bad. He still wants to see if restoring his sight is still possible, though. He can get around without his eyes, but being able to see his loved ones again and remember what they look like would be nice...

🔵 Blue OC ask for Demon? 👀

🔵 Blue- How would your OC spend a single day of interrupted peace? Where would they go or who would they be with?

Ok soooo Demon is the social outcast of the year, and it's thanks to Angel that they even get to breathe social interaction. However, they are not a hermit by choice and its due to a complete misunderstanding that has left them without a home, and with authorities on their trail. FUN.

In desperate situations, they seek refuge in Angel's forest blanket. Which they like to wonder about in. Though angel pulls them out before they get to close to it's dripping point.

Buuuttt for the most part, Demon spends their time people-watching, chatting with Flowers and Buggy when they crave attention, and sneaking snacks that are totally free, all while teaching Angel how to be "normal."

As a reward they spend the end of the day with therapy from angel,, with mixed results but it's all for mutual understandings of eachother.

Overall their original motivation was to "find a home where they belong," but that sense of purpose has faded. Now, they find joy in the chaotic shenanigans of each day, often dragging Angel along. However, it has become clear that Angel isn't inclined to stick around for what is needed and that terrifies demon to no end.

[your-local-hoemie]

hi! i love your writing! if you’re taking requests could i maybe get tartaglia (and alhaitham and itto if you write for them too) with a really affectionate s/o? thank you!!!

Aaaaaa thank you!!! I’ve already done one super similar involving childe but lemme whip something up for ya ;)

Oh boy Itto is gonna be fun I just fucking know it he’s so chaotic~

Warnings: flufffff, lots of toothache inducing sweetness, gn! Reader, swearing, not proof-read.

Character: Al’haitham, Itto, childe.

Al’haitham~

This man is the human representation of a stick, I love him.

He’s serious boy™️

How he ended up with someone like you no one fucking knows

At first he found your constant shower of affection a little annoying especially when he was in the middle of work

Once he realised his moodiness wouldn’t dissuade you from showing his boobs him all your love and attention he inevitably gave up

He didn’t realise it at first but he actually grew to want your affection as well

Like he’d just be reading his god awful books or doing paperwork (idk what scribes do tbh) and her suddenly be like

“Huh I feel like something you is missing and it feels odd” he misses it

People have pointed out that he seems a lot more relaxed and less like a god damn plank when he comes into work

Truth is it’s just because you spent the entire morning showering him with cuddles and kisses :)

He’s so used to it at this point he’s even grown to holding your hand or giving you cute cheek kisses in public!!

Truly a miracle!

When he had a bad day he used to dread coming home and having to deal with other people kaveh but now he finds that you’re the first thing he runs to if things haven’t been going right!

He finds your head pats and sweet reassuring kisses to be the best cure for his frustrations!

People still will never figure out how he managed to woo such a affectionate and sweet person but neither of you care!

Man deserves to know what affection is.

Itto~

A puppy incarnate

Pat his head or give him a kiss on his cheek and man’s gone

It does boost his ego though so be warned!

I don’t imagine he’s ever had much physical affection before!

Being a oni people are usually against that

Assholes!

So when you first started officially dating and you randomly hugged him or smothered his goofy face in kisses he was flabbergasted

Absolutely bamboozled

The second you showed him affection you basically signed a life time contract with his heart

Refuses to let anyone touch your “designated holding hand”

That’s reserved for you and you only!

You know that meme where someone drew a heart on a guys hand and he refuses to wash it in the shower?

Yeah. He’s that guy.

He tried to use it to his advantage once since you seemed to give him kisses whenever he was being particularly dumb just to make him forget whatever shenanigans he was up to

So I’m return, he started being dumb(er) on purpose!

Lots of kisses!!

Of course you knew what he was doing but how could you refuse his goofy grin and those puppy eyes!

Has been winning a lot more beetle battles since he discovered you’ll give him hugs and kisses when he won~

Kuki is honestly so fucking relieved that someone else can deal with him besides her

My girls been through it with him

There’s never a time when he won’t want your affection!!

Bad day? Head pats, hugs and kisses!

Good day? Head pats, hugs and kisses

He’s super proud of it too!

Like pda is an absolute necessity for him!

He just has to show off that his hand is the one your holding!

If you wear makeup up and leave a lipstick mark on his cheek he will not remove it!

Over his dead body!

Had to clean it off while he was asleep

Childe~

*slaps childe* this bad boy can hold so much affection

At first he was definitely taken back!

He’s a harbinger and a battle maniac

The last thing he’d think someone would do to his is to grab his hand or arm while happily kissing his face (if you can reach this tower of a man’s face)

Honestly anyone taller than thoma scares me

So he definitely froze!

Blushy booyyyy

Tried to play it off by teasing you back but it didn’t really work considering he was a flustered mess to begin with

It just resulted in you rolling your eyes and kissing him again

Which also resulted in his brain shutting down

He will get jealous if anyone else steals your affection away from him

Even if it’s a kid that just gave you a hug!

Evil! His person!!

Is very similar to Itto in the fact that he’d be hard pushed to wash anyway any kind of affection you give him!

Pda is a yes too! Not as much as Itto because he still had to stay in guard and he doesn’t wanna draw attention to you too much ;-;

Gets super cocky too

Whenever he wins a particularly difficult fight he demands rewards!

Which of course the rewards being your smooches!

This man has never once even thought about asking you to stop

He’s busy? That’s ok, you can just sit on his lap and hug him while he works

Man’s sleeping and he just look so adorable that you have to kiss his nose or forehead?

You’ll send him into the sweetest dreams he’s ever had!

It really makes me feel so happy know ya’ll like my work aaaaa!!

Requests are still slow to finish as I’m still feeling bleh but I appreciate everyone’s patience! I will get them done I promise~

[septembersghost]

What do you think of the idea that this was PR for SNTV so that everyone would be paying attention to the Nash shows?

oof. okay, first of all, and this isn't aimed at you anon, but everyone has gotten way too comfortable using the term "PR" inappropriately, to the point where it's meaningless, because you get people online saying everything they see ever is PR when that's simply not the case and a lot of things are just...humans living life who happen to do so in the public eye. but the whole point of the concept there is some benefit. this is not an instance where there's benefit of publicity - trolling potential aside, because that would serve a different purpose - all eyes are already on her.

she knows fans pay attention to the shows every week (even the ones like me who aren't viewing the livestreams! i read along with the updates as they happen but haven't watched, others might check in the next day due to time zones or busy schedules, and so on), no matter what we all know what happens and what surprise songs she plays and what she might've said, and we know very quickly. every entertainment and music outlet is paying attention. an album announcement would make spectacular noise and immediately be reported no matter what.

furthermore, stoking romance/personal rumors, if anything, takes *away* from the announcement, it doesn't add to it - hence the internet being in a dither about matty rather than only being focused on excitement over SNTV. why on earth would she intentionally court speculation and rumor that distracts from an important project? moreover, why with someone who undeniably would be controversial and cause anger/annoyance? how does that help her? (answer: it's irrelevant to her if she likes him.) i'd be slightly inclined to think it was a silly joke for the sake of 1989 TV and a potential collab if she'd announced that album instead, but everything about the optics, especially given very recent events and history, has such overwhelming negative downsides with really no upsides as far as press and reactions go. so PR for SNTV specifically makes very little sense to me, versus her being in a do-whatever-i-want-with-whoever-i-want moment (which, let's be real, is not out of character).

it's either a (perhaps ill-timed and unclear) bit of shenanigans between chaotic friends or it's...whatever it is, and we're going to be living with that rebound reality for a bit. he took a very long trip to get to a hometown show for her...we're gonna have to face what that means, particularly after not seeing the person we thought we should have seen on opening night. i didn't want to read into that absence before, but unfortunately information is now what it is. (me @ mr. bowery: you should've been there! you should've burst through the door with that, "baby, i'm right here" smile!)

the announcement of SNTV would've happened last night no matter what, i'd lay odds she's had that planned for the first night of nashville for quite a while. the matty of it all is a wrinkle, not a boost. the only thing i hope is that it doesn't have any negative ramifications for her (not necessarily in the press, but in her personal life. having fun is fine, i just don't want her to be hurt anymore than what's already happened, you know?).

ultimately, what we all have to remember is that boundary - we don't know her directly. we have no say or influence over her decisions or personal life. that doesn't mean we have to like them, but we have zero input into her making those choices. all we can continue to do is what we already do, support her artistry, wish her the best, and cherish her music.

[student-in-nightraven]

hii, could i rq a matchup with anyone from obey me, twst or kamisama kiss? ☆⌒ヽ(*'､^*)

im a bi girl, 5'3, intp-t 4w5 + aquarius, id say im some kind of ambiverted like 60% awkward-reserved-anti-social introvert and 40% chaotic, rambly, all over the place, once i start i dont stop extrovert?? depends on my mood i think (˘∀˘) for some random traits i'm erratic, eccentric, conscientious, creative, empathetic, unserious, sarcastic, not a team player and definitely come across as strange to literally anyone not used to me

hmmmm some hobbies i have are baking, writing, editing and arts + crafts (drawing, painting, making my own random stuff like candles, soap, stickers) - very practical very fun 🧝‍♀️ i also like gaming when i have time which is basically always bc im lazy and hate work, i leave everything last minute and procrastinate so much bc i and i'd rather be doing what i want instead of boring stuff 😒👎 it all ends up rushed and low effort unless im passionate abt it. probably why i'm also never on time but that's also bc i love sleeping

if i had to pick a label for whatever my style's supposed to be {bc i just dress in whatever looks good tbh} i'd say a hybrid of grunge and indie maybe💪😘 i take pride in my dress sense actually i think its gojus (μ_μ)

i have collections/mini collections of a couple things - plushies, crystals, stickers, bracelets and i keep anything and everything people might give me, i've done it as long as i can remember, like not even gifts just if someone gives me a rock or a piece of stationery or origami etc it'll be in my possession forever i'm too sentimental to get rid of anything, i have so much scattered everywhere it's unfunny 🧍‍♀️ i think my love languages are physical affection bc i love closeness altho im crap with emotional stuff but words of affirmation and mushy fluffy stuff can be pretty neat {even if it's embarrassing and awkward xox} + gifts bc i love buying myself stuff and receiving presents, i also like giving them but i feel like i'm spending too little or too much or compare it to what they give back to me and feel like it's not good enough or what they'd want bc i'm usually either too stingy or spend too much and think too much + feel bad when it feels like i don't give back to people as much as they give to me in any sense?? | (• -•)|

i love purple, literature, rock/pop/dance/techno music, space, halloween, history, things that smell nice/scented stuff, philosophy, nature, horror, psychology, fantasy, sweet/sour/salty foods, and animals {especially my bunnies ofc, my pride and joy <3} so im working towards becoming a vet bc im good w science and i'd definitely rather look after them than humans bc i am not a people person i'd fail miserably xox

i don't like ppl who are ignorant or inconsiderate bc they're annoying and punchable, my family, the ocean bc it's scary and doing embarrassing stuff which tbh is basically everything smh

anyways i tried to condense whatever i could think of LMAO but i cba to do anymore 💀💌 thank u!!

The Kamisama requests always make me happy:')

I match you with..

..

...Mizuki!

The most gentle and sweet lover in the whole world.

He matches you like CRAZY, soulmates real;

Loves being chaotic with you, getting caught up in shenanigans and being lovey dovey with you;

He just randomly snuggles up to you whether it's in his snake form or human form, if snake form let's out occasional cute bloops that you die for, he also does the cute snake yawn, he knows it's cute and he's doing it on PURPOSE;

I hc that mizuki is great at portraits and has painting sessions with you in which you 2 paint in peace and show eachother the piece;

You teach him how to properly bake so that he doesn't drop lizards in almost everything you bake-

"but-but it's for good luck:("

"Mizuki, no"

He encourages you not wanting to work and lazes off with you, if for no reason Tomoe comes over he annoyingly comments on how as your familiar mizuki shouldn't encourage this but who listens to him;

Spends mornings sleeping in with you, if you have to go to school he'll just transform into his snake form and accompany you there!

Loves your collection of crystals and other things, so he finds the most beautiful crystals just for you♡

Loves your bunnies and cradles them in his hands, your basically a family, your bunnies have a dad now;

So in all he's the perfect match for you, the most peaceful and loveable relationship ♡⁠˖

Thank you for the request dear annon! May you have a wonderful week<3

what Swallow thinks of the other Heartslabyul boys?

@natsukishinomiyaswife im going to talk abt his relationship w/ Azul later BUT i wanted to make this post before so thank you for reminding me lmao

Riddle — as i've said before, Swallow respects Riddle a lot, to the surprise of both of them BUT. that's only post OB-Riddle. one thing that Swallow really dislikes is people who abuse their power over others. he really disagreed with what Riddle was doing and would often break the Queen's rules on purpose (fun fact: because of that he now remembers most of them), hoping that would maybe make Riddle realize how ridiculous what he doing is and if not, then he at least wanted to make Riddle mad. he was really angry that no matter what he was doing, he couldn't make Riddle change his ways and it was about the only time where he wished his magic was stronger because maybe then he could at least beat some sense into Riddle. i imagine that at the first unbirthday party in book 1 that the Heartshackle gang got kicked out of, he's just chilling somewhere outside the dorm bc he doesn't want to attend the farce and humour Riddle in any way.

but Swallow can also recognise and appreciate when people try to change!!! and he very much sees that in Riddle!! which is actually where his respect for Riddle comes from. Riddle is so used to Swallow's previous antics that he always expects him to pull off something stupid but then Swallow never does and acts all well behaved and nice instead and Riddle is just. surprised LMAO

Swallow also flirts with Riddle a Lot. he doesn't actually have any romantic interest in Riddle, he just thinks Riddle is very fun to tease and likes seeing Riddle’s reactions bc they amuse him (awful man. awful)

Ace — do NOT!!!!! leave those two together. seriously don't ever leave them alone and unattended it will only end up Badly. those two can act very similar sometimes (tho Swallow insists that he's WAY more good-hearted than Ace) and they almost instantly hit it off, especially since Swallow was impressed that some random freshman had the guts to oppose Riddle

if left unattended, they WILL get up to chaotic shenanigans that will leave the whole of Heartslabyul in shambles

the only thing that stops them from taking over the whole school is that... they only like eachother if they don't spend too much time together. they only like eachother's company in small doses, after a certain point they're bound to argue and generally find the other annoying, tho i feel like it's stronger on Ace's part. he thinks that Swallow's self-righteousness is super irritating and doesn't like then Swallow tries to lecture him, especially since he doesn't think that Swallow is actually as noble and honorable as he says

Deuce — Swallow thinks Deuce is So funny. he thinks that Deuce's pursuit to become a honor student is very noble, however he also thinks that the way Deuce can lose his temper so easily is Very amusing and will often rile him up just for the fun of it djfjdj he also thinks that Deuce is pretty gullible and so Deuce is a regular victim of Swallow's many pranks

Trey — ohhh boy. Swallow holds a GRUDGE. listen- he has Opinions on how Trey handled pre-OB Riddle and those opinions arent good fjfjdj

he basically thinks that Trey was an enabler and too soft on Riddle and that he should have done Something. sure, maybe it wasn't easy for Trey but he still should've have tried! he does give him Some benefit of the doubt tho and is generally less hostile towards him than he was before but some of the distaste still stays so he prefers to just. not be near Trey if he doesn't have to </3 he doesn't think they would get along even without the whole thing anyways so

Cater — you know im starting to think that maybe Swallow has some beef against the third years specifically Lmao

but yeah. Swallow doesn't really Get Cater, he doesn't understand Cater's deal At All and doesn't even try to. Cater reminds him too much of some of the more well-off kids from his elementary/middle school that would make fun of him or his cousins for being poor and while Cater doesn't actually do that Swallow is still not a fan of the vibe!

he thinks Cater is kind of stupid to be honest LMAO so alongside with Deuce, Cater too is often a victim of Swallow's pranks but while with Deuce it's more in a friendly way, here it's definitely. not fjjfj

[eddsworld-the-masquerade]

a comeback, perhaps?

Yes, really. I’m not joking and I have three points:  1. I’m one inconsistent bitch with a brainrot;  2. I need my delusions and escapism cuz man do four blood-sucking dudes sound more in-reality than whatever the fuck is going on in the actual real world around me rn;  3. I forgot what was the third point. It’s all the more absurd given just in the summer of this year I was certain I wouldn’t come back to it any time soon. What can I say...life do be like that. A fun little story of its own, but I’ll leave it out of this post. For now, let me share with you what I’ve been planning, what’s staying and what’s changing and how I’ll be approaching this AU/blog this time around. 

So, to start off...

The 🅱️ has to go: 

While still set in Vampire the Masquerade (World of Darkness) universe, the renewed version of this crossover AU won’t have anything to do with Bloodlines video game. Don’t get me wrong, I love Bloodlines still very much, it’s the game with most of my replays and what got me into VtM in the first place. But also, it is restricting, trying to align everything with its small setting/scope and, let’s be honest, doesn’t make much of a sense. Eddsworld’s British, the hell are they all doing in America? XP 

The tag is now eddsworld vtm au, without the letter b. 

What else gets thrown out? 

Plot: Pretty much all of it. I came up with the biggest plot points and am currently rewriting the entire script. At its core it’s still “four dudes tolerate each other’s shenanigans to survive and later learn they kinda don’t feel like chopping each other’s heads off (friendship goals)” but the rest...out the window it goes. 

Setting: As I said earlier, it’s weird. So with the help of Fall of London V5 book and some other sources of info on London in VtM, I moved the cast back to where they belong. 

Characters and character writing: This one might surprise you, but I really, REALLY don’t like the way I did them back then. I can’t revisit old comics/the demo without cringing so hard my face breaks XD Fishmalk Edd gives me most pain if I’m being honest...

While I’m keeping the basest, the basiesest core (Edd being chaotic bastard Malkavian, Tom being mean and cynical Nosf, Matt being old-fashioned but also a rebel at heart Torrie, and Tord being far less infected with rabies compared to other modern Brujah) I’m changing lots of their characterization, backstories and relationships with each other as well. So don’t expect something you expected from their older versions.

The same goes for every other character, and I’m getting rid of some that don’t serve much purpose anymore.  

What’s in store? 

New script is in the process. And while it is slowly processing, I will be updating most pages on this blog: specifically “About” and “Characters”, with new relevant information and art. I have archived everything these pages contained, and I’ll put the link to the Google Drive folder up in the “About” page for anyone who wishes to look at the old stuff. I won’t be deleting any of the older posts on the blog though.

Update schedule?

Can’t promise one. Life’s hectic now as hectic can possibly get. I will update once there is an update, but please try to be considerate and don’t ask me “when”. I will most likely go on hiatuses from time to time but I will try to warn in advance if it’s going to take long. Overall, this passion project is just that, a passion project. Not my job. Not something that gives me anything but mental satisfaction. Not even a tip jar. I’m working alone, with occasional help from friends who are kind enough to proof read and brainstorm with me (Nina, Jazz, Engi, Hawa, long live you beautiful human beings). So all I’m asking is some compassion and understanding from all of you u_u If you can do it for me I’m sure it’ll take me longer to lose interest this time XD  Ask box stays closed for now, I’ll reopen it once I’ll update all the pages. 

That’s it for the moment! Stay tuned, if you’d like!

so far the movie in my head where Jeeves is a private investigator and Bertie Wooster is his rich hanger-on slash boytoy slash nuissance who Just Shows Up:

they meet when Bertie Wooster is playing a rich person game of steal an item then you have to wear it in public for at least an hour (i watched 'The Manhood of Edward Robinson' on a old TV show 'the Agatha Christie Hour' and they play this game and it was chaotic), and Jeeves accidentally on purpose aids and abets him in his 'crime', and Bertie Wooster is for a long time under the impression that Jeeves is a Real Life Jewel Thief (due to shenanigans and misunderstandings, Jeeves doesn't realise it's a game at first, and then ends up absconding with the necklace, so Bertie concludes he was a real thief).

It was a diamond necklace Bertie Wooster stole like in the TV show, he had meant to steal something a gentleman might wear but there was a difficulty and he ended up with the jewels and now he had to dress up as a lady to wear the thing and then him and Jeeves dance since, as Jeeves pointed out, no one would possibly suspect Bertie Wooster wasn't a women so where was the harm?

I got super distracted by this meeting and mostly the movie has just been them flirting and cross-dressing so far, Bertie Wooster thinking Jeeves is a mysterious thief, and Jeeves thinking Bertie Wooster has fluff for brains and if absolutely daffy but swept up in the whole thing and enjoying himself imensely. Usually he's looking for lost cats, here he is getting to use his brain to help this twink escape from justice, much more fun.

Bertie Wooster realises who Jeeves truly is when Jeeves' niece takes him along to a society party with Biffy and Bertie Wooster et al. Bertie Wooster always sort of thinks it would be romantical if Jeeves WAS a thief of mystery, but also watching him masterfully solve a real burglery the night of the party is, Bertie Wooster is ok with this version also.

the main other scene is they are playing poker (Bertie Wooster is terrible at it) (Jeeves is excellent) (Bertie Wooster being terrible helps Jeeves win a lot of money) (they are a team) (a team where Bertie Wooster doesn't need to have a poker face or be good at cards), they are investigating something but they don't know what, it was all mysterious Jeeves just had to Show Up To A Thing.

I say 'they', in fact Jeeves showed up as per mysterious letter, Bertie Wooster was just there. He is pretending not to know Jeeves since Jeeves did not invite him along for the case and he is Sulking. He drinks a spiked drink or something idk but everyone is trying to get him not to slide off chairs or sing or maybe he should go to bed? eventually Jeeves is like, long suffering, 'I will deal with this, he does know me. Very well, in fact. Come on, Mr Wooster'.

And Bertie Wooster is like 'ah yes, my mysterious thief' and Jeeves is like 'please stop telling people I'm a thief' and Bertie Wooster is like 'my thief' and Jeeves is like 'I am neither a thief nor yours, I think you are mistaking me for a WOMAN, sir', pointedly, since they are in company in the 1920s so not out, and everyone laughs uproariously 'Bertie, a woman?! not on your life, Mr Jeeves, he might be mistaking you, but not for a WOMAN!' cus they all know Bertie Wooster is a queer. That's all the scene so far.

I think of them in the city and big country houses, but maybe they go out to the country, like Miss Marple stories.

Did anyone ever read Ngaio Marsh books with Roderick Alleyn and Nigel Bathgate? I think investigator!Jeeves and Bertie Wooster would have a similar dynamic. but gayer of course.

Jeeves was a valet before he became a private investigator, and at least one time they go 'undercover' as a gentleman and valet. In that investigation they probably swap places, half the guests think Jeeves is Bertie Wooster, which I think would be hilarious.

[greypetrel]

How’s about…. Aisling and Cullen, for the “assist” one? 😁

Hi noonie!

Sorry for being a little late, I waited for the right inspiration for this and it was late in coming.

We’re post-Trespasser, two Red Jennies and one Red John are planning shenanigans. uwu (the second headcanon about Cullen I won't let go of, is that he actually has fun in the Red Jenny missions.)

Tis the prompt list.

Oh and if you want to know more about deadly hatpins...

Looking Up.

[ assist ] for your muse to help mine with their appearance (braiding hair, fixing tie etc)

Sharing a room with his wife and Sera now counted amongst Cullen’s worst nightmares.

He knew well before they grew intimate that Aisling was messy. He knew that she tended to spread physically in any environment she occupied. He spent night after night running after her and folding her clothes, and knew what he was going into when he asked her to marry him and they bought the farm. He knew.

What he didn’t know was that her chaos only spread further and became out of control when Sera was around.

It started innocently enough: they got back from their mission in Denerim -the first time Aisling felt ready to get back on the field- and they were both overly enthusiastic about the results.

“You should have seen him!” Aisling had exclaimed, with the biggest, happiest smile he saw on her in years. “Covered in pink paint and glitters, from head to waist, and dripping all over the carpet!”.

They had been so happy telling Dagna and him about how angry Arl Teagan had been (they got the hint from one of the maids at his service, and after the Exalted Council it had been more of a pleasure than a duty). So happy, that when Aisling turned to him and proposed him to come with them the next time, he answered instinctively that yes, of course.

After all now he could admit it: working on Sera’s whimsical missions during the Inquisition had been the most amusing part of the job, and he still remembered with a smile the occasions. He was pretty sure that Aisling had noticed, after the first time, and had kept assigning those mission to him on purpose. Not that he had ever complained about it. And so, how different could it be to work on another mission with both of them, now? Now that they were all more relaxed, and more than anything, now that it meant doing something that could help people, was less frustrating than learning how to repair an old thatched roof, and also that made Aisling happy. Maker knew she needed something good right now, after the last year of settling down to a quiet life and learning again to do even the most basic things with half an arm gone and her world shattered in pieces.

So here they were, in the room that has been assigned to them in Jader’s palace, all three crammed together in the tiny space -enough for two people there on a leisure journey, clearly too small for three people and too many weapons they hid in their luggage. But Sera’s presence hadn’t been signalled to the Comte, and it was vital that they appeared to be alone, there. Even if it meant all three trying to get ready for the day without stepping too much on each other’s feet.

Even if it meant that the barracks for recruits at the Templar facility he trained as a teen had been tidier and less chaotic. At least Aisling was a mage, and with a quick glyph on the door and the walls, the room was soundproofed.

A small mercy, because the two elves were now talking one above the other, asking where that dagger was and whether the other saw the spare bow string or that pair of socks, and indicating the placing of the items with a precision Cullen didn’t understand. Because by all means, it looked like something exploded in the little room, and that something were the saddle bags with their belongings.

“No, it’s in the other bag!”

“You told me the one in the corner!”

“Yes, but in the left corner!”

“Your left or mine?”

“Yours!”

“Piss, I thought it was yours. Just tell me arm or no arm, next time, it’s easier.”

“Whatever, are you sure you have enough jars? Did we make enough yesterday?”

“Yes, mom.”

Cullen, sitting on the bed intent on tying a stupidly high amount of buttons on the back of Aisling’s dress, didn’t put one word between the two, before it all started in more bickering and voices raising as it happened the evening before when he tried to tell them that they were bottling up fire jars too close to the curtains and both took it personally because both knew what they were doing.

(and then a spark fell on the curtain and they both begrudgingly moved away.)

But as they started debating on the optimal way to open the locker that was their target there, and Aisling started insisting that Sera should use one of her enchanted jars before, just in case there was a magical sigil on the lock, Cullen decided it was enough.

“Can we please revise the plan, now?” He asked, as he slipped the last button in its buttonhole and patted Aisling’s shoulder to signal he was done with that.

Sera huffed loudly, tying the apron of the servant livery they got from the local Jenny at the small of her back. He knew her enough to read it as an affirmative.

“Yes. We two meet with Comte Gerard and ask for fundings for the clinic. We drag him out in the garden, the stables if we can.” Aisling started, as she fixed her bodice better on her waist and turned around, placing one foot up on the bed, near Cullen’s thigh and dragging the blue skirt up to her hip.

“Urgh please let me go in the bathroom if you’re being handsy.” Sera complained, utterly ignored by the other two, as Cullen tied a harness around the thigh that was offered to him, with a little sheath fit for a dagger. “When you loveybirds are done smooching and making me miss my Widdle and will finally drag the old geezer out, I’ll slip out the room and find my way to the treasury.”

“The guards?” Cullen asked, checking that the belt was secure before sheathing the dagger in its scabbard.

It wasn’t much, and he would have been way calmer if Aisling had accepted to let Dagna try again with another prosthetic, one that could maybe work as a mage staff. He knew she could cast without one, losing in precision, but he couldn’t help feeling worried. Should Sera be discovered, they would have needed to open their way out of the palace and run. She slipped her foot back down, and turned to offer him her left side, so he could pin the sleeve up in place with another secret weapon: a big pin, one of those used for hats, that he slipped to pin the sleeve in place. It had been sharpened so it could actually be used as another weapon, and he was extremely careful, now, not to puncture her stub with it, accidentally.

“Our Friend will take care of them.” Sera continued, fixing her livery and the ruffle over her head with a scrunch of her nose. She indeed looked pretty ridiculous with that conservative cut, and the broad ruffled collar. “I’ll pretend I’m one of the serving girls until I’ll get the signal, then slip in the treasury and retrieve the documents.”

Both husband and wife turned to look at her, expecting. Enough to make the rogue roll her eyes at the roof emphatically, with a loud groan.

“Yes, yes, I’ll check that the lock won’t be enchanted with the blighted enchanted jars, so it will actually open. Catch the documents, get back here, use the documents to prove that Comte Whatever actually hired those Venatori, substitute him with a better one. Happy now?”

“Thank you, Sera.” Aisling giggled at the display, sitting on the bed to slip in and tie the simplified leg wraps Dagna made her. They were pliant leather, basically soft boots without a sole, tying under the arch of the foot and locked in place with a strap at the ankle. Enchanted as her old wraps had been, so her foot could be warm and protected from injuries, it was just easier to wear and tie with one hand, and it had improved her mood considerably.

“Yeah yeah, if you smoochers are ready, we can get it on, I’m tired of Cully-Wully looking like he ate a frog.”

Cullen scoffed. “If you could both just be a little tidier, I wouldn’t-”

His answer was Sera blowing him a raspberry, not letting him finish. Aisling giggled more, and patted his thigh twice, in a soothing motion.

“Don’t touch the mess, it’s all organized.” She told him, turning to peck a kiss on his lips. “You’ll have to bear with it just for another day, I’m sure you can endure it.”

“I am not sure, another couple of hours and your chaos will spread so that the floor won’t be visible anymore.”

“And then all your hair will grow straight from the horror, and you’ll have to thank us.” Sera laughed, checking that all her weapons were in place another time.

“See?” Aisling added, smiling with a glint of mischief. “We’re actually doing you a favour!”

He couldn’t help but smile, shaking his head with some resignation that was all fake and bending down to kiss his wife a little better than she just did. She smiled through it, and he thought with relief that maybe things were finally getting better for her as well. If all it took was spreading all her clothes on the floor of a cramped room in a stupid Orlaisian palace, he could as well endure it. And he could also ignore the verse of disgust that Sera was making, right now.

“Ready, Inquisitor?” He asked her, his turn for some mischief, when he ended the kiss.

“As ever, Commander. Let’s go steal some money from the rich.”

Aisling kissed Sera’s cheek, and was met with less grumbling than usual, before she took Cullen’s arm and they went out of the room, dressed formally, and put the plan in motion.

Yes, things were looking up.
