#and theyd buy a little house

ive recently been so obbsessed with the au/concept/thought/idek of rapunzel running away from gothel, but NOT finding out who her parents are

like if eugene didnt go to the stabbingtons after the boat scene, imagine how different their lives would be, and i can just imagine raps getting her first haircut and her and eugene getting married and they live probably out in old corona and they just live like that yk? maybe going on roadtrips together and visiting different towns and kingdoms

and idk why but them just having a pretty normal life just as commoners of corona would be so cute idk why😭🙏

how it starts vs how it ends (the fucking literal closest i can get to a rivalmance, bioware can you let me be even a little mean to him bc he kinda fucking deserves to be yelled at a bit over some of his comments and its not like he'd be thrilled about an orlesian noblewoman whos fairly anti-violence and a bit useless in a fight as herald)

[the-trans-dragon]

Rendered inert by the crushing of fear of doing things with mediocre skills rather than with precise perfection and efficiency -> Rendered inert hesitant by the realization that I am being Very Visibly Autistic by doing things with precise perfection and efficiency -> just accepting that everyone is looking at me and thinking "oh my god, I didn't know we had THAT kind of weirdo in our community. We need to make that kind of person illegal" which *isn't true* but it's way easier to cope with, than trying to to convince myself that most people are neutral and busy being the protagonist of their own lives and not thinking about writing a memoir titled "This Fucker Is Ruining My Life By Existing Near Me: Plotting Their Demise"

Haha sorry that was just gonna be silly and lighthearted but i lost my way and ended up in Brain Troubles Land <3

oh no

has yeosang nipped their lamb-dove? he's bitten hongjoong officially. has he bitten anyone else? i feel like if he did the reader would be like ur just a puppyyyyyyyyyy. and defend sangie to the matz like he just accidentally bit them its fine hes teething. all the excuses. i bet there would suddenly be chew toys for him too if so (and theyd be so clearly from the reader - all pastel and cute vs the monochrome of the matz!fam)

the biting was bad in the beginning especially. if either hongjoong or seonghwa got too close to him, he’d lunge for them and sink his teeth into whatever skin they had available. it was rare that he’d make them bleed since the bites were more of a warning than anything. it was only ever when they deigned to touch him that he bit hard enough to hurt. of course, over time as he learned the rules of the house a little better, the biting got less and less. hongjoong no longer had to pin him by the scruff of the neck for doing something so utterly disrespectful as smashing a priceless vase for the soul purpose of rebelling, and seonghwa’s regular hair ruffles just became something yeosang could live with.

but darling was somehow special. the fact that he knew he would be dead if he dared to hurt her had no real part in it, because he never felt the urge to hurt her. sure, when she pounced on his and used him as her personal teddy bear it pissed him off, but he never bit her. and all those hours that she spent sat next to him, fiddling with his fluffy tail really, really annoyed him, but again, biting was never an option. instead he’d pin her, flipping her over onto her back and holding her wrists above her head, all while growling threats that he did not intend to keep.

“fucking touch me again and i’ll rip your throat out, brat. damn what your precious ‘mommy’ and ‘daddy’ do to me in return.”

but then she just… giggles in his face and it stumps him. she’s not supposed to find his threats funny. she’s supposed to cower in fear, crying and begging for mercy. the fact that she’s looking at him like he’s the most precious creature in the world has him entirely stumped.

maybe that’s why he doesn’t want to hurt her, though. she doesn’t see him as a threat. she doesn’t flinch back from him when he turns his head too quick, and she doesn’t cower away from him like he’s some sort of dangerous animal. maybe he doesn’t want to be violent with her because she doesn’t treat him like he should be. over time, that treatment stops from seonghwa too, the flinching comes to a halt and so yeosang stops biting him too. with hongjoong, it never really ends, but as the both of them get closer, it just becomes part of their dynamic, something the two of them treat as a game.

the chew toys are definitely something that darling would do as a practical joke, same as hongjoong buying him dog treats and seonghwa threatening him with the spray bottle in his greenhouse if he ever steps out of line. yeosang doesn’t find it funny when she presents him with bone shaped object, just raising a brow at her as she struggles to stifle her giggles with her hand. he takes them anyway, just because he knows it’ll make her happy (damn his soft heart) and hides them away under his bed. no one has to know that sometimes he pulls one of the ugly pastel things out and chews on it like one might chew on the end of a pen. it’s a completely normal behaviour, he tells himself as he stashes the toys under his bed once he’s finished with them. the fact that he doesn’t want anyone to know is not because it’s weird or that he’s ashamed of it… definitely not…

[crushedsweets]

can you tell us more about what Ben's life was like before his death?? (family, friends, and so on)(and what happened to them after his death bc oh sweet sweet angst)

ben was my gateway into creepypasta and i am living for your content of him (and your cp content in general) 😭🙏🏻

i havent thought TOO deeply about this actually!! so im gonna just spout what i HAVE thought about and see what i can build while im here!

as per usual, everything is in my AU; Creeped! info in my pinned if curious. CW in this post for murder, suicide, violence, the usual

ok. from the get-go i knew ben was gonna be an only child living in the suburbs. his parents would be pretty average folks, maybe his dad is a plumber and his mom is a secretary at a dentists office . . . he's a little spoiled, considering he's an only child. doesnt do chores, always getting electronics for holidays, most of his meals are made for him. i imagine his grandparents spoil him even more, as he's their only grandkid - something about him screams no cousins either... HES GOT NOBODYYY

i specifically imagine him living in a neighborhood like this. but with tons of toys hanging out on the lawn from when he was young and his parents are too lazy/busy to toss them. all rotting under the sun cuz hes stuck inside on his games

i imagine i has a small circle of friends at school... the type to go ride bikes after school to the corner store, buy hella soda and snacks, then ride home to go play video games.

he's def a bit dorky/geeky and doesnt have a lot of friends, just hangs around at school trading pokemon cards and failing his math tests and eating cheetos.

i think ben wouldve been 'just' missing for a while, but i think that his parents would have lost their minds. organized massive search parties, gone door to door with photos of ben pleading with everyone.

its fucked up but. im thinking. bens mom knocks on the door of the man who killed ben. the man is weird, a recluse, visibly uncomfortable the second he sees her face - she's been all over the news begging for ben to come home, after all. and theres a stench, and everything about this house is just Off and dirty and gross, and the entry way has a pile of boots and slippers and sandals just sitting around - all belonging to the man - but she notices a pair of awfully familiar sneakers.

i think it would be upsetting if she saw the shoes that she bought for ben, began to stammer, the man noticed, and he goes to attack her. she screams and freaks out and barely manages to get away, the man is freaking out and gets in his truck and goes to drive off, huge police-chase ensues, and the cops raid his house. i think the man would shoot himself before the cops could get him, something that would destroy bens family to no end.

while going through his house for evidence, theyd find ben's rotting corpse in the tub - dressed up in the link gear - alongside the majoras mask catridge. and theyd begin to find other remains around the house, all belonging to missing blonde teens around the county/state.

i think its obvious the sort of turmoil and strain this would have on his family(parents+grandparents), but it would be really tough on his friends too. theyre all freshmen in highschool and there would be a ton of rumors, distasteful jokes, etc at Ben's expense - partially from his own friends not knowing how to cope, partially from strangers.

and i dont think ben would be able to witness any of this grief as its happening. OBVIOUSLY he's dead, but his spirit is trapped in the same majoras mask cartridge that ends up getting stuck in evidence.

i think he'd eventually go back to watch all the interviews, news recordings, etc that he can find. and i think he'd try to pretend it doesnt bug him. he's so beyond shitty with his emotions, even as a human - super quick to make a joke out of everything, laugh it all off, in fear of being a 'pussy' or being vulnerable or getting made fun of. cuz he was the type to make fun of other boys for the same stuff. so yk. but the outlet he'd use for his emotions would be hurting people. tormenting, 'trolling', cyberbullying, haunting people all around the nation and driving them to murder, suicide, other things. generally being Evil and thinking its all just a joke. he cant take anything serious

i dont think he'd talk about his family to the creeps. and looking at him, nobody has a damn clue who he is or why he's like That. but he'd accidentally let his last name slip in a random convo, someone would be nosy enough to google it, and the news would quickly spread around the creeps and proxies who know him. not that theyd try and address it or something, but it would 100% leave everyone a little bit like. Oh. That's really sad. esp cuz they all thought he was just an annoying little asshole

Celebrating Valentines with the moon boys

A.N: HELLO PEEPS I HAVE BEEN RESURRECTED what better way to celebrate my return than by a small hc about my baby moonboys and how theyd reach to celebrating valentines?!

enjoy this as i write it at 2 am, well past valentine but who cares eheheehhe

(English isnt my first language. Please pardon any grammatical/spelling mistakes. Gifs not mine)

[ pls ignore all spelling mistakes and capitalization issues i'll fix it later i promise 😭😭😭 ]

Steven

while he may very well be the definition of a nervous wreck, he'd definitely be the type of person to remember your favourite flowers and chocolates and buy the largest possible set of both. top it off with a personal letter in which he confesses just how good you make him feel. steven would be the person to make you feel loved for yourself, never having to put on a facade for him, because he loves you more than you could ever love yourself. he's shocked when you cry at the words and you guys end up cuddling the rest of the night, with one arm around you and the other gently stroking your hair, whispering 'i love you' until you fall asleep.

once he's sure youre asleep, he'd snuggle into you, holing you tightly and recount every moment he's been grateful to have you for

Marc

as we all know marc is a true baby at heart. he'd be the kind of person to not make valentines a big deal but the moment he sees you pouting he'd turn the world upside down. not even khonshu would be able to calm him down. once you tell him that in fact you do want him to pamper you on valentines, hed go to pull all the stops. make it the best valentines youve ever had.. first up is a lovely breakfast in bed, with pancakes and strawberries and chocolate syrup overloaded. then he'd take you out for a picnic in the flower fields where you make a bouquet for him and he almost starts crying at the gesture (because why in the world would someone with a right mind ever do something so sweet for a mercenary?). the next stop was a romantic movie date that was being re-played in the theaters, followed by stargazing at night.

you were full of love and adoration for your man and the efforts he took to keep a smile on your face.

"all the stars in the sky couldnt compare to the love i hold for you, marc"

hed start crying, because he's new to being loved. its a foreign feeling but one he cherishes the most. he'd thank all the gods above for bringing you into his life

Jake

we all know he's a little shit. the more you'd hint him to treat you on valentines, the more dumb he'd act. ("valentines??? whats that???") to a point where youd start pouting and sticking your tongue out at him. cut to valentines and you thought he'd surprise you and all of the acting dumb was just to irk you. but when he actually has nothing planned it pisses you off. youd be sulky and bratty and purposefully get on his nerves too (*cough* no bra in the house *cough*)

turns out there was a surprise for you. one of the most hottest and filthiest nights you couldve ever imagined. rest assured there was no way youd be able to go out in public because a) your legs wouldnt move and b) with the amount of hickeys you had someone would thing youre being abused 😭😭

[petitelepus]

CAN I REQUEST EITHER AN AIZETSU OR SEKIDO SLAVE!AU SEEING THEIR SWEET OWNER SICK?? like its not your typical sickness, it seems serious and stuff.. And the fact their health degrades so quick and fast out of nowhere (like c0vid for example) since demons can't get sick (if they could theyd heal fast), if possible gn! Or male!reader please! (Also just wanna say i absolutely LOVE your writing, its always such a mood bringer seeing your creations, love it!)

WHY NOT BOTH?

Summary: It's only Sekido and his younger brother Aizetsu left and then you come and buy both of them. You're a very sickly person, always have been until Death would collect you, but if it's up to Sekido, he won't let you die.

Warnings: Deathly ill Reader, Sekido Does The Unspeakable, Mild Warning For Potential Cannibalism?, NOT CANON, I MADE STUFF UP

A/N: Slave!AU, Demon Slaves, Gender Neutral Reader, Sekido, Aizetsu

There were originally 5 of them, 5 brothers, but Sekido and Aizetsu were separated from their brothers ages ago. They had no idea where their brothers were taken and they fought against the authorities so often that they were nearly beaten to death a couple of times already…

Well, Sekido was, but they beat his meeker brother to add to his punishment. What they didn't know was how they fueled the red-eyed Demon's anger but there was very little he could actually do… They were no doubt going to meet their demise if it weren't for you.

You were a bright and kind Master, taking in both Demon brothers when they were on the brink of death. Anyone else would have separated them, but you took them both.

Aizetsu was crying over your kindness, but Sekido couldn't bring himself to do the same. He had experienced enough pain to ever trust anyone other than his brothers, humans even less…

"It's okay," You had told Sekido when you were on your way to your home, smiling so kindly, "I just need you to take care of my house for me and keep me some company."

"Yes, Master," Aizetsu nodded and Sekido grunted, refusing to say anything else, but you didn't seem to mind his silence. The trip to their new home was a little longer than expected, but it was dark and you had no hurry anywhere. Plus, it was all worth it when your private car stopped by this small manor.

"This is my house and your new home." You smiled as you stopped, "Your job will be to keep the place up and running."

"Such a big house…!" Aizetsu was in total awe and you chuckled in a good manner, "I hope I'm not asking too much."

"Nonsense, Master…" The blue-eyed Demon shook his head and you were happy, but as you were trying to get out of the car you tripped and fell on the ground.

"M- Master!" Aizetsu cried out as he quickly jumped after you and proceeded to help you up. You sighed as you got back on your feet and looked at the Demon happily, "Thank you Aizetsu. For a Demon, you're an angel."

The Demon smiled a little, but Sekido wasn't as impressed as his brother was. In his mind, you were too good and frail for your own sake…

So they started to live with you and take care of you and the manor. The Demons soon learned that you and your family were filthy rich, it was only you and them, and that you had dismissed all your former servants.

It was up to Aizetsu to make your meals for you and spend time with you. Especially since Sekido tended to avoid you, so he worked alone around the manor mainly by himself.

Life was, for the first time ever, better for Sekido and Aizetsu. They had a roof over their head, as much meat as they could just eat, and all the modern-day comforts, something most Slaves never got.

But then you got sick…

Inside, Sekido knew. He knew you were sick from the moment you guys met, the moment he saw you secretly cough up blood on that napkin of yours you always carried with you.

Did you honestly think you could keep it a secret? Especially when you had gone out of your way to get the brothers because of this exact reason?

Finally, you had told them how your sickness was terminal and highly contagious to other humans, which was the reason why you had let your entire staff go and why you had gotten these two Demons instead. They couldn't get sick like humans did and as selfish as it might have been, you didn't want to be alone when your sickness would finally take you down.

That was a month ago. You had been bedridden for over a week ago now.

Sekido made his way down the manor's halls and towards your room. Usually, he would just barge in, but lately, since you haven't felt so good, he has started to knock before entering.

"Come on in," Came your weak voice and he entered the grand bedroom. As he entered, he saw his brother attempting to spoonfeed you some soup he had prepared.

"Hi there Sekido…" You said quietly as the Demon approached your bed.

"Master…" He grumbled and Aizetsu looked at his brother sadly, "Brother…

"How…" Sekido frowned as he looked at you, "How are you feeling Master?"

"It's just a flu, silly," You smiled even if you were dead tired, "I'm not gonna die because of this…"

"Idiot…!" Sekido growled under his breath, "Such an awful idiot..!"

They already knew this flu might be the last nail in your coffin. Sekido knew, Aizetsu knew and the Demon hated it how you knew it also. Your time was running out and here you were, trying to assure them that everything was alright!

The red-eyed Demon was angry. Angry at this sickness that possessed you and angry at himself for not being able to help you and-!

"Aizetsu?" You looked at the blue-eyed Demon and smiled weakly, "Will you let me talk to your brother alone?"

"I…" The meek Demon frowned as he nodded, putting the soup on your bedside table before leaving the room. Sekido watched his brother leave and then-

"I'm sorry Sekido…" You said suddenly, "I feel it. I won't survive this night. I'm sorry I was such a bad Master…"

"Don't say that…!" Sekido growled, but you shook your head, "I want you and Aizetsu to take care of the mansion when I'm gone. You can live here as long as you want and-!"

"Don't-!"

"Please…!" You cried out quietly, "I have all the paperwork done. This place is yours. My lawyers and I have taken care of everything. You have my manor and all my money."

"Master…!"

"Use them to find your brothers if you want…" You grinned lightly as you laid down and rested your head on fluffy pillows, "Now… If you excuse me… I think I'm going to take a small nap… I'm so very tired…"

"Master-!"

"Don't worry, silly," You chuckled, "I'll try my best not to kick the bucket just yet…"

Sekido growled as he watched your eyelids slip shut and you fell into a light small sleep. The Demon held his breath, watching you and wishing you wouldn't die.

You had saved them… Now Sekido had to save you.

He had a plan… It was a high risk… But it was a risk he was willing to take for you. With that in mind, he grabbed the soup you had barely touched and left your room…

And then, exactly one hour later, he came back with another bowl of soup he had personally made for you. He put the soup on the table, pulled himself a chair to sit on, and gently proceeded to shake you until you woke up.

"Master? Master!" He called your name and slowly your eyes opened and you looked at the Demon who had woken you up, "Oh, Sekido…? What brings you here?"

"Soup," He stated as he picked up the bowl and showed it to you. You looked at the soup and then at him, amused, "Is this my last meal, perhaps?"

"Eat," He simply ordered as he grabbed a huge spoonful of soup and you chuckled quietly as you opened your mouth and let him feed you. Sekido watched closely as you chewed the chunk of meat he had made sure you would get with your spoonful and he felt relieved when you finally swallowed.

"Ha ha, you're an awful cook Sekido," You laughed lightly, much to his annoyance.

"Tch!" The Demon frowned, "Eat what you are given!"

"I'm just kidding," You smiled, "It just needs a little salt, that is all."

"Should I get some?"

"No," You shook your head, "This is perfect."

Sekido grunted as he kept feeding you and despite your poor desire for food, you were eating well or at least attempting to. Finally, the spoon clanked against the empty bowl and Sekido felt ecstatic. You had eaten his soup.

"Thank you, Sekido," You smiled as you yawned, "I'm so sleepy…"

"Then sleep…!" He grunted and you chuckled at his nature before nodding. "Thank you Sekido…" You thanked him, "Thank you for everything…"

And as you fell asleep, the Demon watched you nervously for the first time in ages… Hoping you would wake up when the morning sun would come…

And the miracle happened and you woke up, feeling better than you had in ages.

"Master!" Aizetsu cried out as he rushed to see you and you blinked as you felt energetic enough to sit up on your own. As Aizetsu hugged you, Sekido grunted as he watched from the sidelines, "Good thing you are feeling better…"

"I do!" You chuckled as you petted the blue-eyed Demon's head, minding his horns, "I feel much better!"

"I'm so glad, Master!" Aizetsu was smiling and you grinned also as you turned to look at the red-eyed Demon who kept his distance, "Sekido?"

"Yes, Master?"

"I'm feeling hungry… Do you mind making me that delicious soup of yours?"

"Sure…" Sekido nodded as he pushed himself away from the wall and made his way out of your room, "I'll make sure to add more salt…"

You laughed lightly, happy to see that apparently, the cranky Demon had some twisted sort of sense of humor.

Days and nights passed and you grew stronger and stronger after each one you managed to survive. Aizetsu was overjoyed and Sekido was feeling better also since you were getting stronger also. You were playing games with his younger brother and his brother was happy also. His happiness was Sekido's.

One day, around lunchtime, Sekido made his way to your room with your lunch. As boring as it was, all the Demon knew what to prepare was soup, but you didn't seem to mind it.

He knocked before entering, "Master, I got your soup-!" He was saying when he noticed that you weren't resting in your bed. He looked and to his shock, he saw you on your knees by the long curtains that shielded the mansion's residents, Sekido and Aizetsu from the burning sunlight.

Only you were hissing and holding your face with your hands…!

"Master!" Sekido cried out as he dropped the soup and rushed to your side. His red eyes widened as he saw the nasty burns on half of your left face and left hand.

"It hurts…!" You hissed as you attempted to look at him, and the Demon grounded his teeth together as he picked you into his arms and carried you to the bed, "Shit, just, hold on, I'll get some medicine-!"

"Sekido…?"

The Demon looked at you and his eyes widened as he watched your skin heal on its own. You gasped as the pain ended and you looked at your slave in pure wonder, "Sekido?"

"What happened!?" He demanded to know and you frowned as you recalled what had happened, "I was… I tried to look outside and then I felt this excruciating pain…"

Sekido frowned as he listened to you and nodded quietly as he bit his lip and tucked you back to the bed, "Idiot, you need more rest than tha-!"

"Sekido, may I ask?" You interrupted him and he nodded, "Of course?"

"What exactly have you been feeding me this past week?"

"…You don't want to know."

"I see." You nodded as you raised your hand and felt your teeth with them and you and both Sekido noticed that your teeth had grown sharper. So sharp that you pricked your finger accidentally.

You winched and licked the blood off, but when you looked, the puncture wound was already healing.

"I might not be human anymore, am I?" You asked and Sekido frowned as he looked aside, "No, Master…"

"Interesting…" You hummed and the Demon's frown deepened, "You should talk with doctors-!"

"I'm not going to see them." You stated and he looked at you, "You're not?"

"Ha ha, my doctors would start asking unwanted questions and perform tests on me." You chuckled as you carefully licked your brand-new teeth, "And I would lose all my wealth and be rendered into a slave. We don't want that, do we?"

"No, Master," Sekido shook his head and you smiled, "As long as I stay here, I should be okay. As far as people may know, I'm just someone who is living on borrowed time. Or a rich loner."

"But…" The Demon looked at you, "You would be a prisoner of your own home?"

"Sekido, I've lived here my whole life inside these walls. What does it matter if choose to spend my new life that way also?" You grinned happily, "Now I can at least walk to my rose garden at night and feel the night air without fear of getting a fever and kicking the bucket."

"You're not mad at me for this?"

"No, I'm thankful for this new chance." You shook your head and motioned Sekido to get closer to you. The Demon did as you asked and to his shock, you hugged him.

"Thank you Sekido," You hugged him tighter, "It must have been so painful. Thank you for saving me."

"You're welcome," He nodded awkwardly and you chuckled as you pulled back from the hug, "Now, we can start looking for your brothers, what do you say? I got enough money coming that we could hire the top private investigator to find them."

"You would do that for me?"

"You and Aizetsu. You both are so very dear to me and I want you to be happy." You grinned, "So hand me that phone and get me a nice RAW steak. I'm hungry like a horse."

Despite his angry nature, for the first time ever, Sekido smiled before you, "Thank you, Master."

"Thank YOU, Sekido."

DAY 4: JANUARY 17, 2024 (i um. was a little busy. oops.)

STATS: read for ~2 hrs pages read: 860-1052. 192 pgs. reached pg 1000! wooo!!! slur count: 6 + 2 = 8 (rose narration, john. both r slur) silly count: 10 + 1 = 11 (john about roses building) piss count: 1/3

THOUGHTS: today started with jade's freshjamz!!!!!!!!! I LOVE!!! i mean dave kind of sucks at making music but jade doesnt! i love how homestuck shows the works of the characters. jades music daves blogs caliborns deviantart whatever. it makes them feel so REAL.

figured out the time differences! if we're staying at johns timezone, dave is 2 hrs ahead and rose is 3 hrs ahead. and jade is 4 hrs ahead!!!! when we were dave pov a convo with jade was at 6:30pm but at jade pov it was 12:30pm so you know.

the exiles are FINALLY MEETING UP!!!! PM!!!!!!!!! i looove pm shes what makes me want to be a mailman. what the hell are the snake worm things in pm's like structure? whats it called? with the terminal. theyre awful silly but theyre kind of freaky and i dont know what they are.

john faq i always read the faqs theyre so fun. john try not to mention your friends by irl name on public forum challenge (even if he assumes everyone else is dead lol). i do NOT understand alchemizing mostly cus i dont get binary. but whatever. maybe i will someday

KARKAT VANTAS! i think the first mentions of the trolls are here! yaaay!

dave strife theyre still strifing i didnt get to the end yet. s beatdown or whatever. always interesting to me that dave never gets sliced or anythign even though theyre fighting with ultra sharp swords. how much restraint is bro (strider) showing? the fights ARE intended to be strengthening dave. but they dont. cus hes a kid and hes passive. im a sucker for bro strider i know he sucks but ugh i love dirk too much

mom lalondes lab drives me coocoo crazy. pov youre rose you go under your dead cats big ass mausoleum and find a laboratory your mother uses. theres 1 battery unlocked just for you. theres a giant ass monitor showing sburb sessions and meteors. did your mother know? did your mother know what was going to happen? youre thirteen years old. do you know? theres bright pink kiddy furniture. did your mother use it? when did she get it? it looks pristine. did she sleep in this when she was little? did she sleep in it as an adult? why would she buy herself such a thing at an adult age? youre rose lalonde. youre thirteen and full of hatred. you dont understand anything. you wear your mothers scarf and you pick up a stray mutant cat and name it after a drink your alcoholic mother loves. youre thirteen and full of hatred and you dont understand anything and you want to, so badly. so so badly.

jade is awesome her scampering through the house rocks. i wonder if she actually believes pa harley is talking to her, or if he actually is, or if shes just pretending. it has to be because of trauma, right? is she genuine? she has to be genuine. right? fosmf if you know anything about this let me know

jack noir... midnight crew.... oh how i cant wait for the intermission.

johns various mental breakdowns (over the discovery of his dads room; over betty crocker gushers; over the drawings over his posters) are insane. he lashes out so weirdly. dave said like john never gets mad or frustrated over real big stuff and he instead funnels it into tiny meaningless problems. i wonder what that means. im not into john enough to read into it or know

jade (and dirk by extension) waking up on prospit (or derse) early makes me thiiiink. i wonder if theyd get freaked by regular normal dreams. they god tier and sleep and wake up in a cold sweat Hello? Where am i. Hello? I just slept and nothing was there. Where am i

thinking about rose + jade a lot these first few acts. i looove rose and i looove jade. i focused on jade a lot the first time i read so im trying to focus on rose more because shes AWESOME! and i want to get to know her better. she deserves it. but anyway thats enough for today sorry for taking like a 12 day break lol

extra leon & shel lore/tidbits copy pasted from the group chat that i dont think ive shared (non-kink-related)

[warning for mentions/descriptions of alcoholism, abuse, death including child death & pet death, transphobia, self harm]

angela really did not like shel before they became friends she thought he was just the most pissy old bitch. shel liked her fine bc she 1. never did anything to piss him off herself and 2. Called him a pissy old bitch which he thought was funny. i think she only changed her mind about him when she realized he was one of the only people to immediately start calling her the right name when she came out & when she realized he was friends with leon, who she already was cool with. now she'll defend him she'll be like No Hes Cool If Youre Friends With Him Honest I Swear. he always just liked her bc he thought she was Spunky. never really made a move to be pals with her just considered her one of his more tolerable coworkers. they both think its hilarious now that she hated him & she still Jokingly calls him a pissy old bitch. she was cool with leon Before coming out but only really became close with him After coming out bc he was like [in private] omg wait me too [<-paraphrased] & trans coworkers gotta stick together

shels cats prefer laying on leon when hes over bc hes softer & warmer & shel gets jealous so naturally the solution is for shel to use leon as a pillow so the cats have to lay on her instead

i think leon likes showering at shels house bc she has a shower chair & its nice. he probably winds up getting one himself anyway so shel can feel safer showering at his house too

shels house is pretty well cat-proofed. hes invested in soft carpeting so shits less likely to break if it falls, hazards are generally well-secured, hes got magnets on his cabinet doors so they cant break in, shit like that etc. the cats are more or less allowed anywhere in the house But he has a Strict no cats in the laundry room rule bc hes absolutely terrified of one sneaking into the dryer when hes not looking

leons place is like. very Lived In. kinda messy but not Gross (i imagine shel probably helps him keep on top of cleaning sometimes). a little dingy but not so much so that you dont wanna sit down & hang around. kinda dated. not overly well-maintained. needs some repairs that he just hasnt gotten around to (for years). hasnt been renovated or anything in decades. ugly old couch. he tries to keep trash off the floor but he is guilty of having old bottles & shit sitting around. making it look nice isnt a huge priority for him but he tries to at least keep it sanitary

shels house as we know is full of cat-themed crap & knickknacks & i think its kinda granny-esque & a lot of brown & pink & off-white & warm neutral colors. clean but cluttered & cozy. small but comfortable. nothing is like harsh & bright the color is all soft & subdued & the lighting is warm & gentle. lot of decorative things & photos on shelves & on the walls & on end tables etc. maybe some doilies. shel could be a doily guy. lot of cute fridge magnets

leon will refer to his pre-transition self as a girl/woman almost as if she was a different person he used to know. angela only refers to herself as a girl/woman including when talking about the past bc thats what shes always been even before she knew. & shel well hes just shel

projecting onto leon he'll be buying pants & be like "omg these fit Perfectly" & theyll be like a foot too long. length, as we know, does not matter when youre built like grimace

i think shel (playfully) gives leon grief for bein older than him. bc shel Looks older. if u asked their coworkers to guess theyd place leon at no older than 43 and shel at like 55

they bring out the best in each other. when shels around leon tries not to drink & he tries to take better care of himself bc he doesnt wanna disappoint him. when leons around shels less bitchy & less grumpy & in much better humor. theyre both happier around each other

i think leon was a little nervous about becoming an Official Couple & i think hed be a little nervous about getting married moving in together etc, not bc he thinks shel would ever hurt him but bc he still worries that all the abuse he took from bill was his own fault & hes afraid shels gonna start to see him the way bill saw him & get sick of him. & he feels guilty for feeling that way

shels had A Lot of cats in his life & he carries the grief of every single one hes ever said goodbye to. the majority of his Family Photos he has framed or in albums are pets & sometimes he'll be looking through them & gets a little misty. & i think leon realizing that all these cats have always pretty much been shels only family & hearing the way he reminisces about them the way somebody would fondly recall happy memories with their family or friends is a point where he realizes just how lonely shels life has been. hes always been very sentimental about his cats. if he finds a loose whisker on the floor he sticks it in a jar bc its too cool to just sweep up. & if one of them cuts him deeply enough to leave a scar he looks at it with fondness. & the paw prints they do at the vet when the times up. he def has those all hung up amongst whatever photos & other shit he has on the walls

i think shel has some kind of goofy little tattoo he got when he was really young & dysfunctional like. on her hip or some weird spot where nobody ever sees it & its some weird random stupid little thing & the first time leon sees it hes like ??????????? idk what it would even be but its definitely shittily done & probably doesnt have any meaning behind it

leon was originally supposed to be bitter & grumpy & bitchy like shel (who has been around longer & whose bitterness & grumpiness & bitchiness was well established by the time leon came around) but he wound up being more sad & sweet & nervous. i think his coworkers still generally dont like him unless they know him well & its mostly bc they make Assumptions about him based on the things they know. hes an alcoholic, hes a hot mess, he hangs out with that bitchy weirdo shel, he doesnt socialize much, etc

Thinking About Shels Cat Pics u knowww they look like shit. if hes texting them . with his flip phone. but also i think she takes a lot of Camera Pictures & puts em in a photo album. all the time leons receiving grainy shitty flip phone cat pic texts & he Adores it he feels so in love

Thinking About Angela & Leon i think they have like an extra special little friendship which they really come to think of as a father/daughter relationship after a while. it just kinda Becomes Like That. since she was relatively recently disowned by her parents & he lost his daughter & they both have a major void that theyre subconsciously trying to fill. he might take her shopping since she came out pretty recently & doesnt have much of a wardrobe & hes pretty experienced in the field of Womens Clothes. they make a whole little day of it. i think ive already mentioned leons necklace that his mom gave him that her mom probably gave her that he was gonna give to his daughter which he wound up giving to angela & it was gonna be a casual gesture but it wound up being a whole teary huggy thing for both of em

i think. if he found out bill died or something he would be all freaked out like Omg I Shouldve Been There For Him bc even after everything theres still a big part of him that thinks maybe if he tried harder if he did a better job if he was a better spouse etc they couldve been happy. even tho he Knows bill was awful to him & he Knows bill was a nasty evil abusive person & he would never wish what he went through on anybody else theres still a big part of him that feels like it was his fault & he deserved all of it & he cant possibly deserve better

Thinking About Baby Shel. sometimes as someone who works in school/childcare youll have a kid who nobody can figure out how to help--beyond troubled, disillusioned, home life is a mess, etc--& you just know in your heart that if Somebody cant figure it out theyre not gonna make it. shel was one of those kids from a very early age. any teachers he had who are still alive remember him well bc he was such a fucked up little terror & theyd be astonished to see that hes alive. not only alive but Relatively Happy. functioning. sober. nothing like the disturbed child they knew back then

the destroyed parent in leon wishes so badly he couldve been there for shel when he was little. even tho had they known each other at the time hes only like 4 years older. he hears about tidbits of shels childhood & just wishes he could go there & hold him. but he can comfort him now & shel appreciates that. i usually depict shel being more Okay bc he does have his shit way more together but sometimes he is just all fucked up & leons there for him. sometimes he has Bad Brain Days & sometimes its just that kind of day & sometimes its brought on by his pain or lack of sleep or somethin & sometimes something triggers it & fucks him up. & he might be agitated & moody or he might be sad & fragile or he might just be numb & barely responsive but leon will treat him gentle & make sure hes not isolating himself or neglecting himself or hurting himself & make sure hes taken care of until he feels ok again. leon often feels like he doesnt do nearly enough for shel considering how much shel supports him sometimes but when those days happen he usually (probably unknowingly) prevents shel from spiraling into a weeks-long & potentially life-threatening funk

Thinking About Leon bc ive established how angela & shel came to be without a family but ive never gone into detail on leon. i think his family was never very supportive to start with & they didnt like the man he married & blamed leon for getting himself into the relationship when it started going south & bill kinda drove a wedge between him & his family and then when he started to really become a hot mess with Apparent Mental Health Issues Including Alcoholism they shunned him even more & wanted no part of him or his problems & then by the time he divorced bill & started his transition he was so estranged from them & he knew how unsupportive they were in general that he just never came out to them & essentially disappeared. he was their black sheep & they were fine with him getting away. i think if he had the chance to forgive them & go back to them he would do it in a heartbeat in spite of everything. if he found them again & they were willing to take him back he would forget how much pain they let him go through all alone Immediately. hes too forgiving bc he doesnt think he deserves better. he woulda let bill back into his life too if shel hadnta beat him to it. hes afraid of being alone he thinks hes unlovable😔 shels trying to get him past that

shels mother was a terrible parent but sometimes he wonders if they wouldve had a happy life without his dad. & sometimes he wonders if he couldve saved her. leon will be like “you were just a little kid theres nothing you couldve done” but he cant help thinking about it. & honestly if it werent for his dad his mom probably wouldve been a fine parent but their relationship was so vicious & abusive & horrible that the household was just a constant screaming fighting mess

when leon got his top surgery he was freshly divorced & had no friends bc his shity husband had him all isolated & he was like the most alone hed ever been in his life he didnt have Nobody & he had to go through the whole process & recovery all alone & it was miserable so when shel gets his knees done leon makes dam sure hes there for him every step of the way

thinking about leon & angela finding out about stuff shel never got to do as a kid & being like Oh My God We Are Taking His Old Ass To The Zoo. take his old ass to the boardwalk for minigolf & rides & ice cream. cant take his old ass to action park. sad

Give your moots a genshin valentine!! 💝

Spending Valentine's day with them ~

————————————————————————————————————

Genre: Fluff

Characters: Zhongli, Childe, Thoma, Ayato (i still dk how to write for the girls 😔)

A/N: Yall lmk if u wanna add anyone else here

Also I'm prolly making a pt2 i wanna see how theyd confess on valentines lmao

————————————————————————————————————

Zhongli

He's pretty old fashioned so I can see him taking you on walks on Yaoguang shoal for a quick swim or just playing in the sand.

He holds your hand in his giving it light squeezes every now and then, as a silent and subtle way of showing his adoration for you. He has his eyes trained on you as you look around the mesmerizing area withholding both of your memories together.

It's either he gets you on little picnics on Mt. Hulao or you walk through Liyue and admire the view and the people within it.

Midnight walks through Liyue was always something to look forward with him. The way the moonlight illuminates his figure was as usual, a sight to behold. The cute thing is that whenever you pass by a store that sells any Valentine's items (chocolates, flowers, etc.) he always stops by them and buys a few to give it just to you. (Make sure to remind him to bring his wallet tho unless u wanna lose money lmao)

Picnics at Mt. Hulao seem more likely honestly. He sits in the same spot he and his old friends used to.

You're both sat underneath a tree, talking over tea as you look over the surrounding area and admire the exquisite nature Liyue has to offer.

And as the day ends, Zhongli invites you over to Mt. Tianheng to watch the sunset.

You sat on the grass with his hand ontop of yours. You had your eyes on the mesmerizing view of the sky's hue turning from blue to orange just like his eyes as the sun hid and the moon rose. But the whole time, he had his eyes trained on you. Never letting the sweet moment come to waste as he smiles to himself and reminds himself to never ever leave your side until death do you apart.

————————————————————————————————————

Childe

Literally look me in the eyes and tell me the mf won't go and rent a whole ass buffet restaurant for your valentine's date💀 No but starting off strong, he wakes you up with a surprise.

It was early in the morning while you were deep in slumber did you hear the silent creaking of the floor and as you flutter your eyes open, Tartaglia's face comes into view. His cheeks and nose rosy with the cold weather, he holds out a bouquet of flowers and greets you. As seconds pass, you could smell the delectable aroma of the breakfast he had ready downstairs. And by that point, you knew that this would be a long day.

He'd consider having picnics but he's pretty picky so he'd def take you out on a fancy date. (but if u rlly wanted, hed take you out on a picnic. Not in Snehznaya tho lmao)

Imagine if there are any malls in Snezhnaya(IDK HOW TO SPELL IT😭) and he takes you on a date there. Best expect that there's fancy shit there I mean, the harbingers are rich and shi I'd expect everyone else to be at least half of them idk y.

Walking through the halls of the mall with your arm intertwined with his. You kept your eyes trained forwards, avoiding contact with any and every store open but your ever so stubborn boyfriend scouts the mall as if he's looking for prey. The moment his eyes land on a store that sells exquisite clothing, next thing you know, by the blink of an eye, Tartaglia's arms are full of bags with clothing and shoes in them.

Going near dinner time, yeahh he'd go for a dinner date too. Yk 5 star eat all you can type of restaurant that's completely empty for some reason and is only housing you two. You can't rlly complain tho it's enjoyable.

————————————————————————————————————

Thoma

He was debating wether to ask Ayato for a leave and go on a date with you or just give you flowers and chocolates then dip but the moment the siblings heard about it, he was immediately given a day off lmao

I can see him being kinda like Childe here but more toned down in a sense.

You slowly stir awake at the sound of your name getting called and as your eyes slowly open, you lay upon the perfect view of your sweet boyfriend with the prettiest smile ever known to man kind and the gentles eyes. He gives you a soft kiss on your forehead and tells you to get ready since he has breakfast ready downstairs and he leaves.

Around afternoon, he's taking you out on a walk around Inazuma City and giving Taroumaru a visit. You didn't know how long you spent feeding the adorable pup but it was pretty enjoyable and relaxing so you couldn't complain.

If he had the time, he'd definitely go visit Mondstadt with you and visit some old friends and hang out at different spots he used to relax in when he was there.

For dinner, he was supposed to have dinner with Ayato and Ayaka but they insisted that you two have a sweet moment together so he did!

Probably went to Ritou or stayed in Inazuma city to get dinner. He originally wanted to go to Ritou for the view but theres good stuff in Inazuma city.

Picnics around like behind the Kamisato Manor to watch over the sea while enjoying the moment together<3333

————————————————————————————————————

A/N: Naww ik this was short asf but I swear I'm making more LMFAOO I'm just running out of ideas rn and yo girl has to study too😭😭😭

[fruit-salad-ship]

The Royal AU got me thinking. Dragon Peach (can turn into a human form), Knight Grey and kidnapped Nobel Plum for the trio. The Dragon kidnaps the nobel of a very influential house and the brave knight is sent to save them. Turns out the Dragon "kidnapped" the Nobel because she was being forced into an arranged political marriage but has also started to like the tiny human.

I so wanted to draw more for this but im HELLA busy, someone remind me, or put an ask in my box or something idk. I'll circle back round to this because peach dragon slaps.

Certainly the people of the city feared the creature that dwelled in the swamps. It only showed itself from time to time, usually keeping to the distance, hunting wild deer, perhaps attacking caravans that strayed too close to its home, but for the most part, it kept to itself, filling its home with thick smog to fend off anything stupid enough to try to enter, theyd surely lose their way. MORE STORY BELOW.

There was a distinct joy in the realm, a brief moment of peace where people focused their attention on a regal wedding, speedily approaching, streets adorned with banners and galands, it was truly a spectacle. Everyone was excited, everyone that was, except the bride. She'd been keen to run her fathers buisness, perhaps grow the trade routes, focus on her work, instead being paired up with a man not more than 10 years her elder, another from a high society family. Despite her pleading, the young woman was fated to marry, and be a second seat to her husbands triumphs. No freedom of her own.

The wedding came around fast, every noble house attenting, a great cost, and quite frankly the worst day of the young womans life. She was doomed to an ordinary, subdued life with this. A shackle on her ankle in the shape of a middle aged man with nothing that even remotley interested her.

Walking down that isle in the finest gown money could buy made her want to turn and run until she couldnt anymore, it was as if the roar that shook the room suddenly was a...relief? It happened so fast, screams, the crashing of glass, a huge ornate window ahead being broken into a million pieces, the head of their local swamp dwelling dragon appearing in a glittering, smoke filled moment, the glowing pink from its neck as the smog filled the space, stinging lungs and eyes alike. The noble woman felt fear of course, but watching her husband to be get snapped in half by mighty jaws was quietly a small joy. Her legs didnt work, falling back to try to get away. Guards appeared, started shooting bolts at the beast but none even scratched the hide, their futile attempts brushed aside with one mighty sweep of its taloned paw.

The woman managed to crawl a fair distance away, thinking her efforts quite good, until that is, cold sharp digits stamped on the long train, stupid dress was her undoing, falling again. It scooped her up in a secure clawed grip, giving a bone shaking roar, before loosing a blast of gas, pinkish hue, filling the room. It turned, exited the window, and looked back, a different breath, this time of flame ignighting its previous move, the entire space going up in flames with a mighty rush of air.

As it flew off with great broad strides of its wings, the screams of terror and pain echoed, the young woman knew she'd never escape this, she'd be taken back to its lair and eaten for sure.

What followed was however quite the opposite. She watched the swamp come into view, her captors home where it landed on a solid little hill of dirt and shrubs. It gently put her down, her feet still refusing to work, legs jelly with every attempt to get up. It did not eat her, did not snap or roar, no thick fog escaped it's gils, it just sat and watched. After a while the woman managed to get to her feet, holding a falled tree for stability.

"W-What youre just toying with me then?!" her ferocity was amusing for a human, and the dragon shifted to lie down, closer to her head height somewhat. This of course spooked the mainden who tripped backwards on the long dress, every second passing it became more soggy and dirtied, the white quickly dimishing in the swamps.

The dragon used it's long tail to rummage in the shrubs around it, the clanking of metal as it pulled a human backpack, bits of human remains falling from it, nothing but bones. It dumped the items near the woman and waited, she didnt get the hint, starting to relaise this form perhaps wasn't the best for this job. It loathed being in it's puny human body, but seeing as this wasnt working, it had no choice.

The dragon shut its eyes and huffed, the smoke exhaled allowing it to shift from its huge battle ready body to something more familiar. The bride saw this happen, expecting to be eaten once again, but the smoke clears and she sees the towering form of a woman, easily 7ft, strong build, the gils on her neck still there, less obvious, eyes still very much draconic, horns present, but otherwise she was a battle scared adult woman with ridiculously long hair...completly naked. She shrieked, looked away withhot cheeks and tried to get up again. This was at least less intimidating...sort of.

"Human, take the gear and go. You're free to leave this place." What? She looked over, the dragon rummaging around to find a pretty tatty looking robe, throwing it on loosly. "Youre not going to eat me?" "Contrary to popular belief, not all dragons like to eat people. You dont exactly constitute a full meal to something our size." As she spoke the woman noticed the presence of a lot of very sharp teeth in her mouth, less daunted as she perched on a tree stump and wiggled her feet, mindlessly amused with the human form she was taking, more so than focusing on anything else. "Oh...but...why did you take me in the first place then?" The dragon shrugged, the mess of hair it had falling in unruly ways as it glanced over. "I could feel your misery a mile away. Figured i'd give you a second chance at living, you humans sure like to make choices that bring about a lousy quality of life. I rid you of the issue plaguing you, and now you can go wherever you like without concern for a useless partner." The woman though scared stepped closer, a single pace, then another. "But...why? You could have left it alone." why meddle in human affairs? The dragon had no need to.

"You do not recall me, and so theres no need to dwell on it. I owed you, and now I do not. a Debt repaid." This was news to her, she'd never seen this beast before, not to her recollection, instead of leaving, sitting beside her. "Remind me." The more time ticked by, the less scary this felt, other than her beastly apperance, she was just a large woman now, the bride could settle her nerves and try to make some sense of this. No longer a captor in her mind, her rescuer, this monster, looked to her with subtle surprise, one eyebrow raised.

"You were just a child. Your family crossed into the swamps to reach the city, pausing to rest your horses briefly. You wandered off into the fog, the other humans werent watching you, and you had no fear of this place." Peach ruminated on the memory, it felt like just the other day, but years clearly flew by since then, she'd not seen the child again since then, and now here she was, an adult. "I'd been defending my home from soldiers, but an arrow was lodged deep in my leg, couldnt get it out, had accepted to just live with it, wasn't that bad. But you came along and you were too small to feel afraid of me." Plum sat and tried to remeber, she must have been so young, her father told her the story of her getting lost here, but he didnt know what happened, no one did. Except this dragon, and now her again. "Well you got the arrow out after a lot of difficulty, so I sent you back to your people so you'd not get eaten here."

There was quiet, the two women sitting in the humid space, sounds of bugs all over, before the little noble laughed, shocking the dragon. "What?" "It's kind of fate, right?" Plum shuffled to face her companion and grinned, still amused by this all. "I'll stay with you! You must know so much, you could teach me, and when I go home, i'll be able to do so much more to help everyone!" The dragon couldnt register that set of words, ticking them over, expression thrown as the human took her hand, holding it gently, a feeling never experinced before, a soft touch. "uh-" "Good! It's settled then!" With gusto the little woman stood and went to the backpack, puling a rusted sword, using it to cut her ridiculous dress down to a managable length "This isnt a good idea, hey- lady" Plum was already briskly trotting over to the highest point, its ground solid and sturdy, behind her the towering woman keeping up with a casual pace. There was no talking her out of this it would seem.

Over the weeks the pair built a small shack, the dragon thieving supplies from others, merchant carts with fine things, farmhouses, the odd caravan of travellers, leaving gold as requested by her small human companion, a dumb but soft hearted addition to her looting. She complied, it kept her company happy. Plum had found great joy in the dragons company, they'd share stories by the fire, nothing feeling more freeing than not having hand maids on your heels, no fine dining or fancy dances, no corsets, no stupid shoes with pinched toes, just living humbly out in the swamps, with a monsterous creature. Then came the first ever chance to fly. The noble had ruined her clothes, working, exploring, living, and it was becoming an issue now, she needed some new gear, so her dragon companion, her large scaled body lowered down, let her climb up on her back, and off they went. Terrifying as it was, she knew it was safe, and soon the fear melted away. If she could, plum would never come down again, a true delight to be up there, where no one else goes. They raided a nobles estate away for the winter, and scarpered without them even noticing, a whole new wardrobe.

This peaceful company continued for a while, but nothing good lasts. Peach was taking a rest, huge dragon body splayed out in the sun that filtered through the swamp trees, content, while plum sat by her little home with a book, a calm moment. That peace was broken, a javellin came soaring through the air, in from the top, falling with skill and good aim directly into the body of the beast. Peach felt sharp pain, a stiff metal rod sinking below her tough scales, whipping up with a fierce roar, using one clawed hand to try to get it out of her neck, failing. Plum was with her in an instant, trying to get a grip on it but the blood slicked the metal, making it difficult to grasp. A gentle push with one clawed foot moved her out of the way to saftey, back by the house, Peach standing with a menacing sneer, hearing the footfall approaching.

A knight from the city stepped forward, his gear flawless despite the swamp, another javelin in hand, sword at the ready on his belt. Plum recognised the insignia, one of her fathers men, was he tasked to finding her? She was not sure yet, but had to stop this. She ran between the dragon and this man, shouting to him to stop, go no further, to which he obliged, shocked.

"Youre alive?!" his voice faltered a little, not daring to remove his helmet, eyes still on the dragon who was glaring daggers at him. He watched the noble woman turn to the monster and soothe it, a private word between the two of them that he didnt catch, and for now, the beast tucked its wings up a little and did not seem to attack. "Yes, im alive, and you should be ashamed of yourself! First thing you do it hurt her? Thats so rude!" Baffled, the man let his shoudlers slump a little, no longer prepped to throw a weapon or draw a blade, unable to look away from the beast. "Take your stupid helmet off!" demanded, the noble woman pulling rank, to which the knight reacted to, removing it with a hesitance. He was a strong looking guy, beard, long hair tied back, not too old.

"I...I was sent to get vengance...but youre alive." His head spun, no one had survived a dragon attack before, until now that was. "You need to apolagise to her right now! Get this stupid spear out, I cant-" Plums attempt again was futile, it was really lodged in there, and from the looks of things, it would stay that way, barbed at the end to prevent it from falling back out. "I can't, it'll eat me!" "Dont be so pig headed, she's in pain and you caused it, you'll get over here and fix this right now." The man, though terrified, had to follow orders, and so he dropped the spear and took a step closer. The dragon shot a menacing toothy snarl at him, forcing him to pause, before gathering strength and taking another step with a breath. Surely if it wanted him dead it'd have done so by now...right? he was in striking distance, finally by the side of the woman who kept trying to yank the weapon out, blood coating her clothes and arms. His strong grip took over, and he half expected to see the monster recoil in pain once removed. But as the javellin tore free, it didnt even skip a beat, one eye locked onto him fiercly, he could hear the rumble in its throat, a low growl of threat, body towering over where he stood, the pain not enough to even make it blink. Nothing shook its focus from him, clearly ready to strike if he so much as put a foot out of line. His hands were stripped of the weapon, plum throwing it into the shrubs, looking at him with displeasure.

"You can't tell my family i'm here." The knight looked to her with shock. "Dont you want to go home? The Swamps no place to live." and with that he watched the dragon sit back on its haunches and pick her up, a protective, careful, gentle hold, where she was able to sit in her arms, higher up than him and feel safe from this stranger. "I am home. You can either run to tell people and try to escape her-" Plum pointed to the dragon who would not be outran. "Or you can just go home and pretend like you didnt find us. Your choice."

The issue was that he was hired as a last hope, any before him had tried to hunt for this dragon and failed, the bogs were difficult to navigate, deadly at the best of times, and constantly shouded in heavy fog. Few made it home, and they got a flogging for not having results. Plums father grew impatient at their incompetence, and a few hires previous to him, they turned up empty handed and the next day were hanged for their failures. "I can't go back without either you, or proof that it's dead." he knew he'd be dead if he did. "It's not and 'it', it's a 'her'." corrected by the noble, he repeated. "Before she's dead." Truth be told he was fascinated with what he'd found. Everything he'd ever known about dragons deemed them nightmares of the sky, they brought death and destruction wherever they went, this one was supposedly no different. He'd never been this close to one and not been fighting for his life.

"Perhaps we can come to come kind of arrangement then." A sly grin came over the little womans features, and Grey knew she had a plan.Wether it was a good one or not, was yet to be decided.

Auguries of Innocence

BY WILLIAM BLAKE

To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower 

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand 

And Eternity in an hour

A Robin Red breast in a Cage

Puts all Heaven in a Rage 

A Dove house filld with Doves & Pigeons

Shudders Hell thr' all its regions 

A dog starvd at his Masters Gate

Predicts the ruin of the State 

A Horse misusd upon the Road

Calls to Heaven for Human blood 

Each outcry of the hunted Hare

A fibre from the Brain does tear 

A Skylark wounded in the wing 

A Cherubim does cease to sing 

The Game Cock clipd & armd for fight

Does the Rising Sun affright 

Every Wolfs & Lions howl

Raises from Hell a Human Soul 

The wild deer, wandring here & there 

Keeps the Human Soul from Care 

The Lamb misusd breeds Public Strife

And yet forgives the Butchers knife 

The Bat that flits at close of Eve

Has left the Brain that wont Believe

The Owl that calls upon the Night

Speaks the Unbelievers fright

He who shall hurt the little Wren

Shall never be belovd by Men 

He who the Ox to wrath has movd

Shall never be by Woman lovd

The wanton Boy that kills the Fly

Shall feel the Spiders enmity 

He who torments the Chafers Sprite

Weaves a Bower in endless Night 

The Catterpiller on the Leaf

Repeats to thee thy Mothers grief 

Kill not the Moth nor Butterfly 

For the Last Judgment draweth nigh 

He who shall train the Horse to War

Shall never pass the Polar Bar 

The Beggars Dog & Widows Cat 

Feed them & thou wilt grow fat 

The Gnat that sings his Summers Song

Poison gets from Slanders tongue 

The poison of the Snake & Newt

Is the sweat of Envys Foot 

The poison of the Honey Bee

Is the Artists Jealousy

The Princes Robes & Beggars Rags

Are Toadstools on the Misers Bags 

A Truth thats told with bad intent

Beats all the Lies you can invent 

It is right it should be so 

Man was made for Joy & Woe 

And when this we rightly know 

Thro the World we safely go 

Joy & Woe are woven fine 

A Clothing for the soul divine 

Under every grief & pine

Runs a joy with silken twine 

The Babe is more than swadling Bands

Throughout all these Human Lands

Tools were made & Born were hands 

Every Farmer Understands

Every Tear from Every Eye

Becomes a Babe in Eternity 

This is caught by Females bright

And returnd to its own delight 

The Bleat the Bark Bellow & Roar 

Are Waves that Beat on Heavens Shore 

The Babe that weeps the Rod beneath

Writes Revenge in realms of Death 

The Beggars Rags fluttering in Air

Does to Rags the Heavens tear 

The Soldier armd with Sword & Gun 

Palsied strikes the Summers Sun

The poor Mans Farthing is worth more

Than all the Gold on Africs Shore

One Mite wrung from the Labrers hands

Shall buy & sell the Misers Lands 

Or if protected from on high 

Does that whole Nation sell & buy 

He who mocks the Infants Faith

Shall be mockd in Age & Death 

He who shall teach the Child to Doubt

The rotting Grave shall neer get out 

He who respects the Infants faith

Triumphs over Hell & Death 

The Childs Toys & the Old Mans Reasons

Are the Fruits of the Two seasons 

The Questioner who sits so sly 

Shall never know how to Reply 

He who replies to words of Doubt

Doth put the Light of Knowledge out 

The Strongest Poison ever known

Came from Caesars Laurel Crown 

Nought can Deform the Human Race

Like to the Armours iron brace 

When Gold & Gems adorn the Plow

To peaceful Arts shall Envy Bow 

A Riddle or the Crickets Cry

Is to Doubt a fit Reply 

The Emmets Inch & Eagles Mile

Make Lame Philosophy to smile 

He who Doubts from what he sees

Will neer Believe do what you Please 

If the Sun & Moon should Doubt 

Theyd immediately Go out 

To be in a Passion you Good may Do 

But no Good if a Passion is in you 

The Whore & Gambler by the State

Licencd build that Nations Fate 

The Harlots cry from Street to Street 

Shall weave Old Englands winding Sheet 

The Winners Shout the Losers Curse 

Dance before dead Englands Hearse 

Every Night & every Morn

Some to Misery are Born 

Every Morn and every Night

Some are Born to sweet delight 

Some are Born to sweet delight 

Some are Born to Endless Night 

We are led to Believe a Lie

When we see not Thro the Eye

Which was Born in a Night to perish in a Night 

When the Soul Slept in Beams of Light 

God Appears & God is Light

To those poor Souls who dwell in Night 

But does a Human Form Display

To those who Dwell in Realms of day

sorry, i restarted my acnh island after not playing for years (i think last time i played they'd released the first update for the museum but im not sure), and ive just completed project kk, get a letter to go to Harvey's island. and how theyd decided to go about this is fucking bizarre

like, having all the shops/unique npcs be on harveys island was what i expected, becuz it makes sense that harvey would want to build a little community and host everyone

but why bells????

like, he literally comments in game that he doesn't want to have capital and all that, but ue has no choice so oh well

but like, i have just completed project kk, you know, where you need to collect materials to build the first house, and to build nooklings, and to build a bridge and to build the furniture for the houses and appealing scenery

what do you mean ypu have no choice????

did the game devs just forget the Entire gimmick of their game???? yknow, the whole building an island from scratch with the materials found on that island

surely the solution to harvey not collecting capital would be to collect materials instead??? and that would also allow for the opportunity for each Lloyd to collect stuff unique to the characters moving in, give them personality before you meet them, instead of them all just being 100 000 bells to get

like maybe katrina (fortune telling) needs a star fragment as part of her materials, or leif (plants) needs weeds or fruit or veggies, or reese and cyrus (refurbishing) need the customisation ticket things

which would make getting them a bit more fun than just money

also, after completing project kk, i still have a house to upgrade, so i can have more storage, i have items ill want to buy to decorate my island, bells are something i dont have a lot of in saving because ive literally just started the game

it makes no sense to make them all cost bells, but also no sense to put them as accessible so early into the game, when people won't have the bells to unlock them

it just seems like a quick, lazy decision that no one put much thought into, and fully ignores the game and the characters in it

Dream is too easy to morph into aus..

shaking with ideas

big sans and his little baby. . .

everyone knows to NEVER go after Dream

Sans will have their head

Papyrus is the glorified babysitter He doesn't mind though

It would be sooo funny for the bad sanses to find him once he's grown up though and he's just a smaller version of MF sans

"Dream?! What happened to you??" Nightmare would say..

Dream, not remember Nightmare (he was too young and probably trauma blocked him) would pull out his gun and pew pew

EVEN BETTER if it Swap and Ink

GAAAASSSSPPPPPPPP YES. mosty.

When he was a baby theyd dress him up to look like them. Give him his own fedora. He wanted a feather in it? Done. Hed get older, always being told "you really grew into those clothes," always fit in, managed his role well. He would be different, absolutely. Colder, less patient. But i think hed still have that kind nature. Hed still buy flowers for the coffee shop lady that never messed up his order because she was having a bad day. Hed still sit with his father and talk about his health, forcing that cigar down. Hed still make sure his uncle had time for himself, wasnt overworking again. But he would absolutely yell at a woman for letting her purebred bichon frisé shit near his house. Hed be a bit of a hypcrite. He would he would probably even smoke cigarettes himself, despite his distaste for his fathers cigars. So i think he would have no hesitation shooting someone, but someone that seemed to know him? Hed probably fire warning shots before shooting them dead.

But its youre au and im just projecting/lh <3

rating headcanons that yall say

lowkey kinda love reading hcs and some are scarily accurate but some are like??where did you even?????get that from?????

so im gonna like? debunk some? and just like, comment on shit? if i miss anything ask n ill make a separate post

crutchie is not like.. ✨uWu soft baby cinnamon roll✨. its fbhjdksabkh frustrating like the whole "let crutchie say fuck" thing annoyed him. just bc he has a disability doesnt mean hes infantilized. he is actually a little fucking menace and he will hit you. he is opinionated and not a innocent little child.

i (race) like biting. thats it. i bite.

jack is like chronically adhd but he doesnt think he is. hell hyperfixate and infodump and get so distracted on one thing (90% of the time its his current artwork) that the outside world just stops existing. yet he thinks this is just normal people things to do while i just 🫠

hes also a manwhore. he gets around a lot (albeit as a coping mechanism for his ✨everything trauma✨). like before the strike he slept around, with random people hed pick up on the street, theatregoers hed see during meddas shows and talked to afterwards ("dont come a knockin" style), meddas backstage crew, people hed sell the evening paper to, anyone. gender was irrelevant to him, he just needed an outlet for all his energy. it was usually a no stings attached scenario, but not like, "wham bam thank you maam" sorta thing, he treated them with respeect

alberts safe food is lamb. thats it.

spot is a chihuahua. down to the soul. (he will deny this till the day he dies)

everyone is some form of neurodivergent. all funky in the brain /lh

also some things that are not true (soz guys)

-um. ralbert. it just doesnt make sense for either of us? hes my best friend and i do love him but not like that. also i dont think wed be able to survive as a couple. we collectively share about three (3) brain cells and i think we would destroy a house together. like blow it up (storytime for later about that if yall wanna hear)

-neither is javey (sorry everyone). jack an davey love each other. yes. but not in a romantic way. theyll trust each other with things theyd never tell anyone else, but they are strictly platonic. they said they could never imagine being together, sorry to all the avid javey supporters out there.

-kathy's a lesbian. false 💖

shes bi with a preference for women. she did THINK she was a lesbian until she had this big dumb guy come up to her on the street and offer to bring her a paper personally.

-newsies dont have an age limit. we dont "age out" of selling. it isnt "just a kids job". anyone could sell papers. the whole point of being a newsie is that anyone could do the job, it didnt matter who you were or where you were from, you just had to have enough money to buy the paper from the distributor. we had a like 40 year old woman who used to come buy her papers after we did. so the theories of "what happens when jack ages out??" arent nessicarily accurate, if anything he would leave by choice.
