[mysunshine-youremoonlight]

's the mika again n m BORED do ya got anythin good ya do when yer understimulated.... mostly 've been makin my noises but that's not doin much fer me -🪴

i have a few fidget toys i mess with??? also i just do like 7 things at once (i have my TV on playing an episode of How It's Made, i'm watching YouTube videos, and i have my phone auto-playing Fire Emblem Heroes maps so i can try and get a chrom alt i want... and i'm debating grabbing my switch to play Tears of the Kingdom...)

but otherwise no i just kinda scribble on mspaint or meow at myself or try to wake sonata up in the headspace to entertain me (success rate: 35%)

i would recommend finding a thing to mess around with !! like a lil fidget toy or just smth mindless on a device (i color or play gardenscapes on my phone usually... or auto in a game so i can watch things happen without needing to click buttons) maybe !! find a fun youtube video??? or a fun tv show??? i like cooking shows and stuff like how it's made :3

Hi dear!!

omg thank you for being like so supportive of my velvette stuff and my account truly honoured to be your mutual!

alastor came into the flower shop and softly walked over to the counter ringing the small bell on top of it waiting with a smile. it was surprisingly a slow day at the cannibal town. no one was wandering around the store and everything seemed so… peaceful.

well, until rosie came out of the back and greeted him with a wide smile.

“alastor!” she exclaimed and walked over to him giving him a tight hug. “oh how i’ve missed you” she said holding his hand and looking around for a place to sit down.

“i know, it’s been a while” alastor chuckled and looked down at the hand she was still holding not making any move in a way to shake her off. rosie smiled, being used to him letting her be affectionate as she finally picked out her favourite table and leaded both of them to it.

“so” she started, letting go of his hand, sitting down and expecting alastor to do the same. “what brings your twisted being, here today?” she asked and turned her head, looking for her teapot.

alastor chuckled and sat down in the chair at the other side of the table, putting one of his legs over the other one and sighed deeply. “nothing much dear, just came over for our check up” he said and chuckled again also looking around for a teapot, as that’s what they’ve always drank while gossiping.

rosie smiled and all of her attention moved onto him. “well then? where have you been? what’s new? how’s the ‘v’ thing?” she asked all of those question at once which earned her a laugh from alastor, forming a grin on her face.

“oh my dear…” he started and shook his head trying to make the situation more dramatic. “there’s a lot to talk about from those three question you’ve asked” he smiled wider but his brows furrowed slightly. “didn’t we always to this while drinking tea?” he asked and rosie laughed at him, covering her mouth with one of her hands.

“we sure did!” she kept laughing and made herself more comfortable in her seat. “and that’s even more perfect occasion for you to meet someone” her smiled turned more lovely as alastor raised one of his eyebrows at her.

“who?” he asked, putting both of his hands on the table, waiting for her to elaborate wanting to hear all the gossip. rosie rolled her eyes playfully at him and called out for you. “y/n!” she called, turning her head to the side.

hearing your name you came out of the back and looked at her while tilting your head, questioning why has she called you. only after a moment you noticed another person sitting with her at the table and as you walked closer to both of them you noticed it was alastor. you smiled to him trying to make that smile as honest as possible but you knew he saw right through you as he rose one of his eyebrows at you.

“oh my doll, would you be so nice and make me and alastor some tea? if not that totally fine, darling” she asked you with the biggest smile on her face. and how could you say no to this woman?

“of course” you smiled to her dumbly and went to the back again, to prepare the tea and try to make yourself act normal around alastor.

rosie chuckled seeing your smile and as you walked away her eyes drifted back to alastor who had a bit of a questioning look on his face alongside his never resting smile.

“i see” he said and chuckled looking at her while still keeping his hands on the table. “the remarkable matchmaker finally found her match?” he asked and rosie chuckled at his words, covering her mouth as she rolled her eyes playfully, her cheeks slightly rosing.

“always such a charmer” she laughed and she did it loud enough that you could hear her at the back. you placed the teapot down with a thud rolling your eyes and trying to at least keep some face as you continued on making the tea. “but yes, i must say i did find my match” she said more softly and her eyes softened as alastor rolled his own at her and chuckled, shaking his head.

“i see you have a taste for a woman this time” he laughed and rosie moved her hand over the table to gently punch his shoulder. he laughed even more at her reaction.

“she’s not for eating” she said sternly but couldn’t hold the laugh escaping her throat. “well, not that eating” she chuckled as she went back to her sit again and roll her eyes playfully as alastor’s eyes squinted at her words and his dear ears flatten slightly. rosie took a notice of that and let out another laugh. “oh alastor, so easy to embarrass you” she continued laughing and he just rolled his eyes at her.

as they continued their conversation you gathered everything you needed and grabbed the tray with the teapot and two cups, walking out of the back and trying to keep up your smile. you came over to them and placed it on the table, smiling softly to rosie as she gave the smile back.

“here you go” you said more to her than them and she clapped her hands together with a chuckle.

“thank you sweetie” she said grabbing the teapot and pouring her and alastor a cup. you were just standing there not feeling like you should stay but also not entirely sure if you should leave. rosie smiled even more seeing you stay with them as she handed alastor his cup.

“alastor” she said taking a sip from her cup and looking at him again. “i want you to officially meet y/n-“ she said and turned her head to you with a wide smile, showing off her sharp teeth. “the ‘match’ to the matchmaker” she playfully rolled her eyes. “and the love of my life” she smiled and took another sip from her cup as you just stood there feeling your cheeks staring to blush.

alastor looked you up and down and despite this not being your first meeting with him, but first as rosie’s official girlfriend, you felt like he was studying you. i mean it was something he’s been doing every time so was it really that unpredictable? rosie smiled wider seeing your blushing cheeks.

“i’m so glad you stopped by today” said rosie and smiled to alastor wider. his smile widened too as he took a sip from his cup.

“always a pleasure” he chuckled taking another sip. you just stood there not knowing what to do with yourself exactly as you continued on watching their conversation.

“so tell me, have you met someone interesting lately? and you know i don’t mean it in a lovely way” rosie chuckled sipping her own tea as alastor eyes squinted slightly as his ears folded.

“well a few people yes, but they’re never quite like you” he said with a laugh in his tone and your eyes immediately went to his face.

“oh darling” rosie exclaimed and chuckled putting her tea down on the table. “you could never meet a second me” she chuckled once again and put her hand on his hand in a rather playful manner but it definitely didn’t seem playful to you.

“excuse me” you said with a fake smile as you walked to the back again and let out a deep breath out of frustration. rosie eyes followed you immediately same as alastor’s did and his smile widened just a bit.

“so rosie!” he started and the woman’s attention was brought up to him immediately. “is she really the one? i mean does she know you that well?” he asked wanting to irritate you even more as he knew you were still listening to the conversation. your hands turned into fists as you heard his words.

rosie only chuckled at his question and rolled her eyes. “yes, i am. i love her” she said and alastor rolled his eyes again.

“you loved franklin as well” he said shrugging and sipping his tea as rosie’s gaze turned into a bit colder one.

“the past is the past, darling” she shrugged and took her cup again sipping at it as she avoided his gaze, alastor taking pride in making her anxious so easily.

you couldn’t literally hold in it more as you heard their conversation. wasn’t it enough for him that you were already jealous? had he do this all?

you shook your head and walked deeper into the back, into the greenhouse in which rosie kept all of her flowers. you inhaled the smell of all of them and sat on the ground feeling your eyes tear up from pure anger and jealousy. why… why was he like that?

you didn’t know that but rosie took notice of your absence at the back and her brows furrowed. you weren’t acting like that normally when she had friends over. something was definitely wrong.

“alastor!” she said and the deer-man’s ears peaked up on her voice. “it was really a pleasure having you today but i have a lot of work…” she lied and alastor just laughed at her attempt to lie to him, yet let her get away with it.

“i understand” he said getting up and dusting off his coat. he smiled to her and grabbed his staff. “ill be on my way then, see you next time” he said and rosie smiled at him as much as she could waving her hand until he left the building.

she immediately rushed to the back and when she noticed you actually weren’t there her blood turned cold. she tried to keep her mind calm as she decided to check the greenhouse, after all you were hanging out there a lot.

as she walked in she spotted you on the ground and with a soft click of her tongue she walked over to you putting a hand on your shoulder. you immediately shook off her hand and rolled you eyes.

rosie burrowed her eyebrows looking at you. “sweetie, are you okay?” she asked as she sat down next to you.

“i don’t know, ask alastor” you scoffed and she rolled her eyes at your tone knowing exactly where this conversation was going.

“and why would i?” she asked tilting her head trying to play dumb. you knew her better than that.

“cause he’s like the most amazing person ever isn’t he?” you huffed and threw your hands up. “he’s oh so charming and oh so marvellous” you said and rosie let out a deep sigh at your attitude.

“doll, can you stop?” she asked and you looked at her with squinted eyes. “just drop the act already i know you’re jealous, always were when he was around so what’s the point?” she asked huffing herself as she was getting annoyed at this point.

“i’m jealous because i know he could take you away from me!” you said tears almost coming to your eyes. rosie laughed at your words not expecting something like that to come out of your mouth. you looked at her in disbelief that she dared to laugh at you.

“doll-“ she started but you interrupted her with your own words.

“no, you’re not going to doll me here” you said scoffing and shaking your head as you get up from the floor, standing up and looking down at her. “i am jealous of him because i feel threatened”

rosie blinked at your words and didn’t laugh this time as she stood up as well and just looked at you with pure worry in her eyes. she reached out for you hand slowly and you didn’t brush her off this time. “alastor couldn’t… and wouldn’t take me away from you in a sense of love” she explained and you just rolled your eyes at her.

“yeah sure” you huffed looking away from her. rosie took both of your hands into hers and pulled you closer to her, uncontrollably making you look up at her.

“he wouldn’t.” she said in a stern voice while rising an eyebrow. “he doesn’t do ‘love’” she said and your eyes widened at her words as it somehow made sense in your head now. he was just… getting on your nerves then. “but i must say the jealousy in your eyes looks hot” she chuckled and you felt your cheeks blush.

“oh yeah?” you asked and moved one of your hands onto her cheek cupping it. “maybe i should be more jealous then” you chuckled.

rosie rolled her eyes at you and then let go of your hands grabbing the one that was holding her cheek at your wrist taking it away from her face and grabbing the other one to hold them both by your wrists. you looked at her a bit surprised but also unconsciously bit your lip. rosie chuckled at your reaction and sighed.

“oh love, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into” she said and leaned down to your nose so it was touching hers. “i don’t mind putting a pretty lady like you in her place from time to time” she whispered and laughed as you felt the shiver run all over you body.

Had a hard time stopping myself from overthinking this one, but I think we're finally there:

Pick a song from a bad description! You do not have to recognize any of the songs to vote. Just go by vibes. Pick whichever seems funniest to you. Or most relatable. Or whatever floats your yacht. At the end of the week, I will put all the songs in order from the song with the least amount of votes to the song with the most amount of votes, and share the playlist with you.

If you would like to hear the playlist when I'm done, leave a comment or put it in the tags of your reblog (or just write it in the reblog, whatever) and I will tag you when it's finished. If you're too curious and you just have to know about a song, send me an ask and I will answer.

Also, please reblog! The more votes I get, the less ties I get. (Usually. Last time we had three ties. Maybe all the descriptions were just that good, IDK.) But reblog it anyway. Inflict my weird music taste on your friends, followers, and mutuals. It'll be a good time.

Oh, and for those unfamiliar, let Get Smart! teach you how to frug.

Hear me out on this please

TADC crew x itward like reader

If you want to ignore this request you can I totally understand lol

TADC cast x itward type! Reader

Imma be so real with you anon originally I was gonna save this request for later since I have ZERO ideas (funny since fran bow as a game has had a choke hold on me since it released) but then I realized I can be evil and introduce people to the game

Anyways guys go play fran bow! Or better yet theres a full fandub, as well as several lets plays on YouTube!! I also recommend little misfortune as it's made by the same creators and takes place in the same universe!

Kind of wrote this as their general thoughts and dynamic with you since I struggled a lot with thinking of romantic stuff with them, especially with characters that I dont think would like. Be interested in characters like itward

CAINE:

You guys. Can talk up a storm, I think. Literally it's just you two "interrogating" one another and learning more about each other. As scared as you are of the current situation at hand, you can't help but be intrigued by everything, including the self proclaimed ring master!

Curiosity is damned, damn you curiosity/ref

Your curiosity ends up with you learning as nearly as much caine is willing to let on about the digital world...

Thinks

Two well dressed fellows, as well.. bonus if you have a red suit like itward so you kinda match with Caine

Caine loves watching you build your little machines, too, usually hovers over your shoulder

POMNI:

Sure you might not be able to fly away in a flying ship and return to the real world, but who's to say you cant make your own exit..? Possibly manipulate the code or something...! Sure you're main thing is machinery and technology, but theres usually some level of coding in there... so you and pomni team up to try to come up with a plan... honestly you probably lightly scold her when you find out she tried to leave, knowing ragatha needed help. On one hand you cant bring yourself to fully blame her, but on the other you would rather try to escape with everyone, you know? Pomni is sometimes put off by your odd nature, though... not enough to push her away from working with you though!!

RAGATHA:

You guys bond over your shared interested in sewing! You both make plushes! For you it's more so for gift giving, and for ragatha she does it to pass time! I like to think you guys both have nights where you just hang out, either in her room or yours, and just. Chat and sew! Probably finds your weirdness a little endearing in it's own way; afterall never once were you malicious, in fact you're quite kind to everyone around you and are more than willing to offer second chances even to those who dont deserve it. You and ragatha would be really good friends, I think!

JAX:

Finds your weirdness a little annoying and he probably asks you a ton of stupid questions on purpose. Probably asks a stream of dumb ones before asking one he knows will peak your interest, but insist he needs to go do something when you start answering. That aside he has probably asked if you could build him a funky little gadget (that he totally wont use for mischief).. probably tries to get all buddybuddy with you because he knows you wont give it to him for the...actual reason he wants

You personally dont hate him, but theres no real solid friendship there I think

KINGER:

Ah, the two strange father figures! Both with funky interests; kingers is bugs and yours is forks! ....okay well it's hard to combine those two interest so I guess we can use a different one, mechanics! You've definitely made kinger wind up robotic bugs before, and the fact it made him happy makes you happy! You guys both have a habit of spacing out, though on different levels and for different reasons...you both mutually keep an eye on one another, though!

You've probably dreamed of building a flying machine and escaping this place at least once, leaving with kinger. Too bad the reality isnt going to be that simple.. besides you'd bring everyone with you anyways

ZOOBLE:

honestly they get annoyed how sometimes you dont give direct answers and be vague when you're asked for a solution. It's not that you're trying to be malicious or incompetent, youre just trying to push for everyone to get creative and explore the world around them themselves, you know? Finds it a little off how you sometimes zone out, as if youre thinking about a dozen things at once... but nonetheless, zooble cant bring themselves to hate you. In fact you have this weird comforting aura around you.

GANGLE:

Youre so so nice with her and always trying to build her up. And honestly I think that's so sweet. Hugs. Give hugs! Side note I bet itward gives the most comforting hugs so by extension the reader gives the most comforting hugs!! You're always there to stand up for her, too, when people *cough cough jax* are mean to her. You probably also try to helo her make a new mask... not like "oh you help her fix her masks" no I mean like you try to make her a mask that's made of a stronger material so it's harder to break

Honestly I cant see a romantic relationship between a reader like this and gangle, I personally see it more as close friends or even found family

[txxxciii]

hmm today I will reveal my personal favorite ships in welcome home

if you disagree with me it's fine, just keep in mind not everyone's ships are the same

Wally and Barnaby: the first ever ship I thought of when joining the fandom. My initial thought was that the basic formula of "two best friends" and "size difference" would definitely be a win-win for the fandom, but I was actually quite surprised to see some people who despise this ship, claiming it to be "zoophilic". Needless to say that I haven't heard or seen such argument against the Fluffybird (Red Guy and Duck from DHMIS) ship, but oh well. Anyways, I just think they're very neat and could definitely be classified as a "best childhood friend who have a little something going on" dynamic. And! While I mostly see these two as mutual pining partners, I can totally view them as a simple platonic "two guys being besties and having fun"! Also I don't know if any Welcome Home ships have names, but I saw someone call this pairing Wallaby and I think I'll go with that :)

Frank and Julie: now, listen to me on this one please. I know perfectly well Frank and Eddie are a canon couple, and I'm down with that! It's just that I'm a sucker for a more platonic-romantic kind of pairing between best friends. They just seem so funky together and have the good ol' "opposites attracts" dynamic with them. Again, same case as Wallaby, I ship these two romantically, but cool with them just being pals. There isn't enough male and female friendship representation in media, and I personally believe that Frank and Julie are a good example of such. My heart just simply melts whenever a Frank/Julie art appears on my feed, it's so wholesome and soft..

Howdy and Poppy: ... okay. I don't really have enough evidence to backup this one but uh. My brain just went and created this pairing in my head and I absolutely love it. JUST GENERALLY SPEAKING both of them have a parental vibe, and the contrast between a huge green guy with multiple limbs and a giant bird with mostly red feathers is just.. pleasing for my eyes (complementary colors! complementary colors!). While the fandom widely agrees that Poppy is a "worried mom friend of the group", I haven't seen anyone say that Howdy is much of an "outgoing dad friend of the group". Personality wise they'd make a pleasant dynamic and with how both of them basically take care of others in their own ways could be played out too. And just AHHHH thinking about them makes my brain very happy!!!! if no one draws fanart of them I WILL (threat).

[gardensnakie]

Heylo dear mutual i am here to kill your ears with a trident(rambling about a weird album I found week ago)

warning for LONG OH MY GOD

Okay SO we start off with the little sillies that are the characters of said album. We’re gunna focus on the main three for now since they’re the most important. Soul, Mind, and Heart. They represent what they’re called so that shouldn’t be so hard to grasp- Basically, they are all different parts of some guy. they know that, and they know that this(the split) has happened before and will happen again(mentioned in several songs). basically the cycles omori headspace experiences(this is mostly hc) but much more violent, and typically soul is the only one that actually experiences most of the reset. Anyway Heart and Mind fucking HATE eachother and can never get along. also lots of people like robot mind and winged heart just as a little. uhm. They all have some control over the whole(aka weird guy they’re in the head of) but after the split heart has “most” of it. mind thinks they should live logically and isn’t afraid to voice this, but heart thinks that’s fucking stupid and everyone needs emotions to live or smth. thing is heart is kinda depressed! more than kinda! he’s super not okay! mind doesn’t exactly understand and so they get into some awful horrible fight that ends with heart planning the murder of mind.

the Juno incident happens next, aka Ruler of Everything. Juno=Heart, Mechanical Hands=Mind just as a heads up(also why people like robot mind). so anyway juno shoots at mind but MISSES the headshot like an amateur and instead(going back into hc territory) shoots out his throat. Soul proceeds to rip out hearts eyes with a trident as punishment. AND THEN heart fucking falls into the hole he dug for minds remains which if he wasn’t blind would be more funny. After a few songs, cue The Heart Acoustic. Basically heart plans on trying to reason with mind, but ends up giving control over to him because he “can no longer bring himself to care.” Mind segment! Btw lots of people like mind with a voice modulator or whatever the fuck since heart shot out his previous voice. some things happened, mind isn’t doing to well, but y’know, insulting heart will surely fix everything! cue The Mind Electric. Basically Mind insults heart a lot, plans on killing him, is a very angry guy with issues, the norm. The Soul Eclectic happens directly after(my personal favorite) which is just Soul being really really angry because heart and mind can’t get along and then plans on killing them all through killing whole. there’s a lot more info in the songs-

cue The Bidding. More arguing between heart and mind, soul is going to commit die, but what’s that?!? Harmony?!? in this household!!? blasphemy!! heart and mind sing in tandem and soul takes it as a sign that “holy shit things might actually work out!!”. heart and mind aren’t that impressed but try to get along for his sake. something something, whole happens, something something they gain a love interest and have an existential crisis over it and a few songs later the album ends!! if you listen to it on repeat it’s like you’re condemning them yourself which is pretty cool ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

some extra details i like. most of all of these are straight hc. soul can control headspace through the trident, but at the cost of some of wholes mental heath and extreme fatigue. the reason why mind is some animatronic freak is because heart got a little too silly one of the cycles and mutilated him so much it stuck, and sometimes they have trauma about it! if someone takes soul’s trident, they too can do whatever the fuck they want. in the rare moments where they are harmonized, sometimes they sing a funky parody of a song that’s just pure bullshit and they all end up laughing at the end. heart can technically fly but… but it’s just a void so there’s not much of a reason. they have a pet chicken named darrel and he’s the neutral zone where they can all get along for the best of him. mind actually kind of works like a robot and has systems and shit and yk the usual smth smth.

…………..anyway sorry this was so long there’s not a lot of content here. wanna. wanna join the cccc cult yet

(i’m working on my own designs for hms as well so idk why i mentioned this)

WOWOWOWO WOW WHOA this lore and a crossover for omori with this? Thats so cool dawg, i cant wait to see the designs i wonder how its gonna be built THATS SO CRAZY

Soul Heart Mind and Whole GAHH I cant wait i wanna know the designs bro thats so cool

For the omori crossover of this, I wanna know so much ahsnsnxnkwndkxs like who takes the roles, how will these scenorios play out, are they gonna act a little different, GRRRRR

[firebastardextraordinaire]

OOOH OC FUN FACTS!! Thanks to darling @lilarus for tagging me! i tagggg @lucien-lachance @loderlied @theladygrim @cheesychickenwings and @ray-elgatodormido

I think I’m going to astonish everyone by choosing Vinari over Jura for this lmao (if only bc all of you already know so much about Jura lol)

So naturally some of you already know that Vinvin is my main character for my original work Fallacy of the Damned but she’s also been supplanted as one of my official dnd/forgotten realms blorbos too!

So onto the fun facts about Faerunian Vinari/Dirge! I'm putting it under a readmore bc holy shit this is long af and kinda got out of hand bc i've only ever really talked to Ari about Faerunian Vinari i think lmao

- Vinari (chosen name for a while) was born Dirge to a human sorceror/cleric of Myrkul and the heir to the Drow Bhaalist Clan of the Vidrus, both sects who lived in Waterdeep (well the Vidrus lived in the UpperDark under Waterdeep technically) and thus Dirge Vidrus was raised in both Myrkul and Bhaal’s churches (with a hint of Lolth too. Lolth begrudgingly shares the Vidrus the Bhaal but only because she kinda likes the funky little upjumped human. They’ve bonded over a mutual love of death and murder and apparently breeding horrific and evil monster children)

- Dirge’s official classes are Shadow Sorcerer (which she got from dad, who got one of Myrkul’s evil hugs full of necrotic energy that nearly fucking killed him but apparently did not affect his ability to have children. Or maybe it DID but Myrkul was like, yknow what I’ll allow it this time bc he needs more worshippers anyway and Gods can be freaks when it comes to their clerics breeding habits) and Phantom Rogue (which is a subclass that many rogues can pick up from a variety of ways from sleeping in graveyards or training in/by death god cults or by liches.) in Dirge’s case, the phantom subclass cane naturally as a result of being a shadow sorceror AND being raised by the clergy of TWO gods of death. (I’d def recommend looking at these two 5e classes because they are literally SO fun) she also has a couple levels in warlock, but not because she made a pact with a patron, but because she IS her own patron. (Since in 5e you can have a powerful undead as a patron, I see no reason she can’t be her OWN patron once her magic gets powerful enough) she’s a pact of the blade warlock and her pact weapon is a dagger, which I’m about to talk about next!

- her dagger was created by and given to her by Myrkul himself. Because Myrkulites are followers of the god of the dead and don’t fear dying themselves, and consider getting one of their God’s necrosis filled hugs that are almost certain to kill them, and if they survive horribly fuck them up for life to be the highest honor, i think they definitely have a bunch of different rituals and just other kind of stupid shit that will easily kill them that they do for clout, honor, and as rites of passage. One of which being getting one of Myrkul’s evil hugs. ANOTHER is going through one of the thousands of portals to Hades and the realm of the dead to try and meet Myrkul in person. Generally speaking, this is not the wisest thing to do considering the realm of the dead is not a very friendly or safe place to be if youre alive, especially when you consider the fact that to even GET there, you have to go swimming through the Water of Forgetfulness, which drain people (living and dead) of both memory and emotions the longer they're exposed to it. Vinari passed the series of saving throws to keep her memories. She didn't do so well on the saving throws to keep her emotions, but she did make it there and back with her mind (and body) in tact, and Myrkul was both mildly impressed and amused by the fact she'd acomplished this that he gave her the dagger that serves as both her pact weapon (and thus arcane focus) and her main instrument of murder.

it has a LOT of very VERY unfriendly effects, which isn't exactly surprising considering it was made by the god of the dead for an assassin. The main ones being dealing extra necrotic damage on sneak attacks, critical hits, and attacks made while obscured but the super NASTY effect it has is that wounds inflicted by it can't be healed with magic, in fact, healing magic will inflict necrotic damage INSTEAD of healing, so they have to be allowed to heal naturally, unless a mage casts Remove Curse. .....and if they don't cast remove curse with a level 7 spell slot or higher, THEY get hit with a second, counter curse! and have to roll a constitution saving throw against some necrotic damage lol.

and the thing is that the dagger is a long, thin, and slender blade designed for slipping into weak spots in armor and piercing vital organs or severing important arteries, aka meant for fast and quick assassinations. Which means that assuming the victim survives the initial attack, they're probably not going to survive for VERY LONG afterwards without immediate help from a cleric, who better hope that A. pass their arcana check to realize the wounds are cursed and that trying to heal them without removing the curse will only kill the poor bastard faster! and then B. pass a SECOND arcana check to realize that its a very POWERFUL curse and if they don't cast an appropriately powerful remove curse spell and try to go cheap with it, it's not going to end well for THEM either! and then C. better hope that they're actually POWERFUL ENOUGH to cast the spell with the high enough level spell slot needed to avoid the counter curse!

all in all, it is definitely not a weapon that one would want wielded against them lmao

- MOVING ON, Vin's story in Faerun is actually split into two parts. The first taking place during the Time of Troubles, where she's running around as a mercenary by day and assassin by night, and she ends up Joining Midnight and Kelemvor's party to go rescue Mystra from Bane (though naturally none of them have any idea thats what theyre even DOING until they get there) and Even though Kel's got his bit of sexism going on at the beginning (in that he didn't want midnight going at all to begin with either) it's actually Cyric who vouches for Vinari's skills and convinces Kelemvor to let her go too because Cyric and Vinari were casually hanging out and doing merc work together before meeting Kelemvor. Pretty much no one finds out/knows for sure that Vin's a fucking BHAALIST until book two and three. Cyric gets it confirmed by Bane in book two, and he outes her to the party in book three.

But to make a long story short, when Cyric (well not him actually, his sentient sword) kills Bhaal in the third book, Midnight teleported the party away from the ensuing blast from the death of the god. Well, MOST of the party. Unfortunately for Vin, she was on the OTHER side of Bhaal from the party watching the fighting go down because she's stuck between a rock and a hard place here because she likes the party and doesnt want them to die, but at the same time, the god of murder is one of the LAST gods you ever want to betray (or them think you betrayed them)

so yeah, Vinari does NOT get teleported to safety with everyone else, and she very nearly gets blown to fucking smithereens when Bhaal dies. but she doesn't! (though she doesn't know its because in his final moments Bhaal did some quick spellwork to shield her from the majority of the blast because he needs her alive for one of his MANY contingency plans) but even though she doesn't die, she's fucking nearly dead for almost the rest of book because while the rest of the party is dealing with myrkul's shit, she's fucking floating down the winding river. which is now polluted with Bhaal's blood and divine essence. which means she's taking a veryyyyy long bath soaking in and absorbing the fucking god of death's divine power! So by the time she recovers enough to pull her sorry ass out of the fucking river, she's very much NOT the same person that she was before she nearly got blown to pieces.

so yeah she ends up hightailing it to the closest divine staircase to try and figure out what all has happened while she was microdosing being dead, and gets there right in time to see Midnight and Cyrics chat with Ao about the tablets and becoming gods.

remember that Cyric is the one who (supposedly) killed Bhaal, whose divine essence Vin has spent the last two to three weeks soaking in.

I'm sure you can guess exactly what happens next. and if not ill tell you anyway. Vinari promptly fucking kills cyric right in front of the God of Gods. By throwing her dagger with perfect aim and lodging it right in Cyric's throat from fifty feet away.

Of course, Ao LET her do this bc he's well aware of the fact that she's upjumped on Bhaal's divine essence and he wanted to see if she'd prove herself a worthy successor to him, and which in immediately killing Cyric on sight, she did.

Of course, Ao just immediately revives Cyric bc he DOES still intend to make him a god, its just instead of getting all the dead three's portfolios, he's losing death to Vinari.

so yeah, Vinari becomes the new god of Death! Also she starts going by Dirge again when she becomes a god and ends up sticking with it. Speaking of her godhood, it lasts about 10 years because i'm one of the "actually bg2 revived bhaal just fine and according to his plan, he was just incredibly antisocial and didn't bother telling anyone he was back in action again for another 100 years" truthers, and of course as soon as Bhaal was alive again and walking into his old, now Dirge's throne room, she was more than happy to see him and give him all his power back (which is EXACTLY what he thought she'd do and why the last thing he did before dying was ensuring that SHE didn't) So now Bhaal is the god of murder again, and Dirge, now just a rank 0 quasideity, heads back to Faerun to start renacting his will so he can regain more of his power faster.

Which leads to Dirge being around and causing trouble in bg3, but this is already long enough so i won't go into that lmao.

But here have some pictures of her mortal forms before and after becoming a god. She chooses to take the form of a human in the after because being a half drow is REALLY inconvenient to getting around places lmao

ONLY ART SIDEBLOG. if you turn on notifications here i am blessing you with 3 shiney pennies thank you

new disco elysium sideblog because im insane.

if you want to know I am a intersex trans guy but bi-gender about it and kinda aro ace ? but a little gay? :) we stay funky and strange

moving up here because it’s relevant I do not reblog donation posts from people I don’t know or post asks from people I don’t know asking for donations in my inbox. it kinda sucks that’s how it has to be, but there’s no way I could independently vet them all and it feels like the situation with scammers has gotten a lot worse lately. I’m focusing on promoting the campaign of Salma, which you can see in my recent posts (here). Plus I’ll be honest I’m not popular. on sideblogs I will occasionally but it’s made with the assumption I haven’t done research. For this blog I make sure what I reblog is vetted. Please do not send me asks or messages about donation posts I will assume you are a scammer and block you. Please do your own research before donating especially when it’s on one of my side blogs. Ty

I don’t fuck with TMA/TME but I won’t usually block based on that alone because I know usually it’s from a different experience than mine, and I do value that experience. However some of you are rancid about it and if you think that all of transphobia is redirected transmisogyny, or that you can easily categorize people individually as TMA/TME in every case (especially by going ‘well no one but trans women are -actually- affected by this bigotry) just like. Don’t bother.

always tagging unreality and flashing lights, and I don't reblog things that can be guilt trippy or superstitious about reblogging (when I do, it's with #reblog bait) I also don't reblog donation posts unless I know you :( I know a good portion are probably legit, but. 'probably legit' is kind of an issue..

Edit edit: does not apply to verified Palestinians fundraising because verified.

On top of that im not someone with many followers at all so it's very unlikely to help anyways.

I don't tag most fandoms (unless im drawing art) (i want to change that eventually though) because my laptop is a potato (lovingly) and the thought of tagging every post with it's fandom makes me vaporize into dust. other times it's because i don't know them ;; sometimes im just enjoying whatever my mutuals are reblogin :] even if id on't know what its from lol

also ill try and tag anything i think needs tagging for warnings but stuff not mentioned here may not be universal. #bugs is for bugs and spiders though. you can send me an ask if you need something else tagged

basically it's a mess :] thumbs up. oh yeah also if you're gonna get mad at people who do not understand pop culture things DO NOT FOLLOW ME I LIVE UNDER A ROCK. LIKE HIM

AITA for getting my ex fired?

Okay, so I (1500, NB) got my ex (2500 NB) fired last week, and I didn't think it would be as big a deal as it is and I'm starting to feel really bad about it.

For some backstory, my ex and I broke up 250 years ago, so it's not a big deal at all. We broke up on completely mutual terms and there's no hard feelings either way. I mean, I'll admit I was a little jealous when they started seeing this new person (??? NB), but that's NOT why I got them fired.

The problem is that their new partner is clouding their judgment. He's someone we're supposed to work together to kill to protect the world, but ever since they started dating him they've started talking about working together and that all this fighting is pointless. Clearly, there's a conflict of interest here. I tried talking to them about my concerns and they said that I don't know what I'm talking about!

I decided to talk to our boss (??? M) about it, because I thought that maybe if they were demoted or something then they'd understand that they can't just do whatever they want. We were created for ONE purpose and one purpose only, and we can't just stop because of some stupid romance.

But I guess our boss was a lot more mad about it than I thought he'd be because he COMPLETELY fired them in a really fucked up way and now they've been completely exiled from our community. And he said that since I reported them, I can have their job, so I guess I got a promotion out of it.

I'm just really worried because I haven't seen them or their new partner and apparently if I DO see them I'm supposed to kill them, and I didn't want THAT to happen. I was just doing what I was supposed to, but I feel like I might've ruined their life and I feel really, really bad. But they were the one going against orders, so if I hadn't done it then someone else probably would've.

AITA?

Love Story with Otis (naybe someone saw their mutual Aesthetic and ran with it XD)

Send “love story with ____” for my muse’s reaction on finding a romantic fanfiction about themselves paired with that character @ratwhsprs

Oh good and glorious sun and stars, she really does have a tag. Of course she would though, it's not like the unassuming masses would know her name, she'd just be 'Hemlock' to them and nothing more... The funny things one can discover, with just a simple slip of the thumb. The problem? It looks like something in her phone is sorting these charming little stories by ship-subject alphabetically, and who should be sitting paired with her at the tippy-top of the list but one 'Otis Flannegan'.

And it's another one of those lemons.

You know that 'feeling'? That skin-prickling, adrenaline-stirring one, where you just know there's nothing short of an absolute trash-fire waiting for you just beyond the veil; but you can't help but take the plunge and look nonetheless? That pairing returns her withering gaze with a lighthouse's brightness, and River can feel her spine tingle.

A deep, cleansing breath is taken, before the title is tapped.

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

Well-... This one was slightly better-written than that one pairing her with Eddie. In terms of her character at least, she can't imagine what Otis would think if he knew some funky individual wrote a multi-chapter, plotless porn fic of them. One where they're apparently 'clearly' having a slinky BDSM-light affair in all of the shadows, and on all of Gotham's unbolted surfaces. Her on top and masks on always, of course. Apparently faceless flings are hot.

"Really now, a belled collar? Sounds like someone misread 'cat' instead of 'rat'! One of those leashed backpacks would fit him better, anyway." River chuckles.

Does Otis have Internet? Surely he doesn't have Internet all the way down there... Right?

Yeah, she's not going to send this one to him. It's ten kinds of hilarious, but the poor dear's heart might not be able to take it.

Bloom (WLW Rivetra roommates modern AU)

Rated: T Ship: Fem!Levi x Petra word count: 4k

AO3

First Kiss

When Levi put up an offer about looking for a flatmate, she didn’t expect to end up sharing a home with someone like this.

Petra Ral, a 24-year-old University student with a smile glued to her face, made a major shift in Levi’s daily life at home. It had been almost half a year since she moved into the bigger room from the 2 available and changed their basic cheap IKEA-filled place with her heart. 

She was everywhere, wherever Levi looked; in the plants blooming by the window, the fluffy navy carpet spread in front of the couch, and the funky patterned pillows on it. Since she, herself, didn’t have much stuff (she hated hoarding), Levi let Petra take over the interior. 

At first, she continued to live her life like usual, mostly staying in her room, not engaging with whatever the other person was doing, but it seemed that Petra just couldn’t let her be. She constantly found ways to invite her to watch a movie together, taste the new recipe she tried, or catch her in the kitchen to ask about her day. 

Levi hated all of that. Having her day be interrupted was a nightmare. Petra must have realized that at some point, since she stopped bothering her. Ironically, not long after that, Levi ran into her in the kitchen while the ginger was engrossed in preparing a special brew of tea. She watched her, checking the temperature of the water and waiting for it to cool down to exactly 80 Celsius before pouring it into the small cup with a blend of leaves. It changed everything. 

Curious, Levi came up and asked the flustered girl about what she was preparing. They clicked instantly once they discovered their mutual love for tea. Since then, when Petra knocked on the door, she had a tray of tea set and ready for them to enjoy in the evening. 

By now, they became friends, and it was the first time when Levi felt at home and not just like sleeping in a place she currently was in. 

She was preparing dinner when Petra came back home. After a moment, the overdressed ginger joined her in the kitchen. 

“I’m about to kill Oluo,” she whined and sat at the counter with her hands on her cheeks. “He forgot to study, AGAIN, and I had to cancel my date to go help him get it into that empty head of his.”

Levi grew accustomed to hearing about her friends. It was part of spending time with Petra, she overshared a lot, letting Levi keep her private life to herself. 

“You didn’t have to,” the dark haired woman noted, not looking up from the boiled vegetables she was cutting. 

“Yes…technically not. But, you know, I can't leave a friend in need of help.” 

“Did it strike you that he just wanted to ruin your date?” Levi pointed, a spark of irritation formed in her chest, but she pretended it was nothing. 

Petra blinked and looked up in the distance. 

“I…don’t think so. He knows we’re never going to leave the friend zone, I hope,” she said, unsure. “Well, anyway…I think me and Patrick are getting serious, so… I’m sure he doesn’t mind,” Petra followed with a small smile. 

Levi didn’t know what to say. She never met the man Petra was seeing, at least from her stories he sounded decent. 

“How did you know you liked girls?”

She looked up at the curious ginger, a little surprised, but didn’t show it. 

“I kind of always knew,” she replied simply. “It was harder to realize and accept the fact I don’t like men.”

Petra let out a thoughtful hum. Levi remembered the time when Petra learned about her sexuality. She was pretty shocked and flustered, apologizing for assuming she was straight and assuring she had no problem with it. Levi didn’t understand all the fuss. Apparently, people from the countryside weren’t used to being openly queer. 

“Why? Did you kiss a girl at a party or something?” Levi snorted, as she finished preparing her meal and turned to face the ginger. 

“No! I’m just curious how it works.”

“Kissing a girl?”

“Stop teasing me!” Petra laughed, a blush covering her cheeks.” I meant, knowing you’re into them.”

Levi shrugged, sending her a smirk. Petra was adorable, exactly her type.

When she told her friends about her new flatmate, they knew about her crush right away.

“Straight girls should come with a warning” is what her friend, Erwin, had told her as they drowned their sorrows at the bar. Deep down, Levi hoped for Petra to be at least bi, but she was better not to dwell on it. One day, Petra will move out and they will part ways. It was a matter of time, so why worry about it.

“Want to try it?” Levi pitched casually, eyeing the other woman.

“The salad?” 

“Sure,” she replied and handed the bowl to her. “And kissing.”

Petra choked on the food and coughed before looking back at her in shock.

“I won’t make you,” Levi assured her, keeping it cool.

“Well… I guess, if it’s okay with you…” Petra said, her face turning red.

“I don’t mind. You’re a clean person, so you don’t disgust me.”

Petra laughed, covering her mouth and swallowed the rest of the food before putting the bowl back on the counter. 

“Should I go brush my teeth?” she asked, unsure, and tucked her overgrown bangs behind her ear.

Levi rolled her eyes and walked up close to her. She was feeling too awkward about it to try to make it romantic, especially when it was just Petra’s curiosity. She grabbed her jaw from below and pulled her into a prolonged, but not intense, kiss. It lasted for barely 5 seconds, then she let her go. Levi couldn't help but lick her lips afterward. Petra’s touch was as pleasant as she suspected.

“Oh!” Petra let out, red as a tomato and a blank expression on her face. “So…well…it is different.”

“Wouldn’t know, never kissed a man,” Levi wrapped up the conversation and went to her room with her salad bowl in hand. 

When Petra applied to rent a room in Trost, she didn't expect to end up living with someone like this. 

Levi Ackerman was the most introverted, emotionally AND physically closed off person she ever met. For some reason, she craved her attention even more due to that. 

Living alone with another girl was a new experience. She definitely didn't expect Levi to leave her room in a lacy bra without any padding like it was nothing. That's how she learned about her nipple piercing, anyway. 

Levi was the coolest person she had ever met. She was enamored in how little she cared about other people's opinions. It was as if nothing could throw her off. 

She used to feel jealous of her beauty at times. The sharp jaw and high cheekbones made her look like a model. Petra could swear Levi would make a fortune on being a fashion or makeup influencer, but Levi couldn't care less about her looks. 

When Petra told her about it, she looked at her like she was crazy. 

It was when Petra was complaining about her love life and suggested that Levi could probably have any man she wanted, she learned that Levi, in fact, had no interest in them. 

She felt stupid, embarrassed by not even considering that. She never met a queer person before, or at least no one came out to her. She thought Levi would want to share more of her thoughts about it, but she changed the topic as if it was nothing special. 

Months later, when Levi proposed to kiss her, Petra was thrilled. She didn't understand that feeling, but she liked new experiences. She didn't mind Levi's touch at all. She felt comfortable with her and she wondered if that was how it was to have a girl best friend. 

She laid on her bed, trying to fall asleep, but every time she let herself relax, her mind drifted to the feeling of Levi's lips on hers. 

They were so soft, she couldn't get it out of her mind. Even the way her flatmate held her face was softer, despite it being a firm grip. 

Frustrated, Petra turned to her back. Levi would be disappointed if she knew how much she was thinking about it. Clearly, it was a casual thing for her. Some people just didn't care about kisses and that was it. 

Her Tears

Levi was sitting on a windowsill next to the balcony, playing with a cigarette in her hand. It wasn’t lit, but she was looking at it, trying to convince herself to not smoke it. Petra didn’t like it, she always wrinkled her nose when she smelled the smoke from her. It wasn’t like Levi was addicted, she mostly smoked from boredom, it calmed her nerves a bit too. She sighed and looked into the distance behind the glass. 

The ambience of the city and the noise of a low volume tv channel playing in the background got interrupted when she heard the door to the flat unlocking. She was convinced Petra was about to spend the night partying with her friends and boyfriend, and it was barely 11 PM. 

By the characteristic clank of Petra’s keys hitting the shelf in the hallway, it must have been her, who else could that be. 

“Party canceled?” she asked, looking in the hallway's direction, but couldn't see the other girl, so she looked away again. She heard her changing her shoes and noticed her entering the living room in the corner of her eye. 

The answer did not come, so Levi took a look at her again. Her eyebrows went up.

Petra's face was pale, eyes red, and her hand trembled when she took off her sunglasses. The ginger tried to say something, but her voice got caught in the cry, and she gritted her teeth to stop.

Levi looked at her, frozen in place. She had never seen Petra looking so miserable before. She left the forgotten cigarette behind to walk up to her. 

“You okay?”

Petra slowly opened her mouth and took a shaky breath. 

“Patrick cheated on me,” she said, opening and closing her fists. “I…really thought there was something between us, I…it hurts.”

“Piece of shit,” Levi grunted, feeling the irritation overflowing her, but the empty look in Petra’s eyes distracted her. “That only shows he wasn’t worth it.” She tried to console her, but it only caused the tears to drop heavily from her cheeks down on the floor. The older woman sighed and embraced the ginger. 

Petra hugged her back instantly and hid her face in her shoulder, her silence turning into quiet sobs. 

“Sorry this happened to you. I’m sure you didn’t deserve it.”

“Mh…” the girl whimpered.

Levi waited patiently for her to calm down, doing her best to not focus on how good it felt to have her in her arms. It wasn’t the right time for that. Seeing that Petra wasn't about to calm down soon, she scooped her up and carried her to the couch. 

The girl searched her purse for wipes and wiped her nose before she surrendered her body into the pillows. Levi sat down next to her and, instantly, Petra moved closer to lay her head on her shoulder while embracing her arm. 

“He is…a piece of shit, indeed.” Petra replied finally.

“Obviously.” 

“He did it when…when I canceled our date. He thought I’m hooking up with Oulo and just playing with him.”

Levi looked at her with a doubt in her eyes.

“Does he even know you?” She said with a doubtful tone and embraced her with one arm. Petra found her touch soothing. 

“I guess… I didn’t really know him, either.”

“It will be fine. You’ll see.”

“I don’t want to go to bed. I don’t want to cry into my pillow like a stupid…” she didn’t finish her sentence, just sighed. 

Levi looked around and let go of the girl to move the pillows and reach for the blanket. Without thinking, Petra crawled under the blanket with her, hiding herself to the point Levi could only see the top of her head peeking out. She scooted the sobbing girl closer and relaxed, mindlessly watching the late night news that appeared on the tv.

“Take your time.” She said in a softer tone.

Sleepover

Levi looked up from her laptop when she heard a double knock to her bedroom. The doors opened slightly and a ginger head peaked into the room. 

"Do you wanna hang out?" 

The dark haired woman frowned, dark eye bags pronouncing her tired expression. 

"It's 2 AM. Why aren't you sleeping?" she asked, eyeing her flatmate. 

"I don't know," Petra sighed in a reply and entered the room. She was looking down, Levi noticed. "I can't sleep and I know you're usually up late so…" 

She looked up, seeing Levi stretching and closing her laptop. 

"What do you wanna do?" 

Petra’s expression brightened and she walked over to climb onto her bed. Levi followed her and sat with her legs crossed. 

"Talk. And braid your hair," the ginger explained with a grin on her face. 

"Figures," Levi rolled her eyes. Petra was obsessed with her long hair. If it was anyone else, she would cut it by now just to get rid of the attention. She turned her back toward her and relaxed. 

Petra sat behind her and started brushing the dark strands with her fingers. Levi closed her eyes, enjoying the pleasuring sensation. 

"So, what's keeping you up?" 

The ginger was silent for a longer moment and sighed before replying. 

"I don't really know. Maybe nerves. I'm going to see my family over the weekend. Don't get me wrong, they love me a lot, but they are very… invasive. They want to know everything. I don't know how to tell them I don't want to come back during the break between semesters."

"Why not just tell them outright? "

"I wish it was that easy. You must have a great relationship with your parents if you can be that honest."

Levi opened her eyes and played with her fingers. It wasn't normal for her to open up but, after all, it was Petra. She made her do a lot of unnatural things. 

"I don't. My mom died of sickness when I was little. I don't know my father and I don't care to know him." 

"Oh… Sorry."

The honesty Levi could hear in the other girl's voice was reaching dangerously deep into her heart. 

"It's fine. It's been a long time. I don't feel anything when I say this." 

Petra hummed in thought and stopped playing with her hair. Levi wondered if she finished the braid. She didn't expect getting embraced by her from the back. Petra's soft cheek brushed over hers, making her heart beat faster.

"I'm sorry this happened to you, but I'm glad you turned out like you did regardless. You're an awesome person, and I'm so glad I've met you."

Levi could feel her face reddening. This interaction was way too mushy for her, but somehow, she didn't want her to let go. This sweet talk was foreign to her. 

"Thanks," she managed to reply and cursed herself, feeling Petra's arms relaxing before she moved back. Levi gathered her composure and turned to her. 

"Time to sleep. It's not good for you to stay up so late." 

Petra smiled at her. 

"Is it good for you?" 

"Don't get so bratty," she grunted, and moved the covers to hasten her to get under them. Petra bit her lip and sneaked in with her. She watched Levi turn off the bedside lamp. 

It took a moment before they were able to see each other in the darkness. Levi noticed the other woman was looking at her, so she sighed and pulled her close to her chest. 

"Go to sleep." she told her, stroking her soft hair. 

"Goodnight, Levi," Petra replied in a sweet voice, hugging her back and snuggling closer. 

Craving

"Petra… don't do this to me," Levi let out shallowly, while holding the ginger's arms firmly, so she couldn't move closer. 

Despite the background noise of the party, time seemed to stop between the two of them. 

Hidden behind the corner, in the garden of Petra's rich friend's house - after a couple of drinks - Levi found herself in the arms of her lovely roommate. 

It all started because she got pissed at the sight of men shamelessly flirting with Petra. They weren't even supposed to see each other. Levi tagged along with her friends to the party and discovering Petra was also attending wasn't a nice surprise. There was a reason she never hung out with her like this. 

She was able to ignore how much this woman attracted her to some point, but seeing her being swooned by others turned her murderous stare on right away. 

When Petra approached her in worry of her bad mood, Levi didn't want to talk, but eventually got convinced to try to relax and drink with her. 

She found herself keeping the ginger close, with one hand holding her waist, subconsciously scaring off others from trying to steal her attention. 

Petra's cheeks were flushed, which Levi brushed off as a result of the alcohol, but the alarm started to ring in her mind when she started snuggling into her with no shame, despite being in public. 

She wanted to enjoy it, she craved it, her touch and affection, but the cold reality stayed in the back of her mind. 

They were talking in low voices when Petra started to steal glances at her lips and finally leaned for a kiss. 

That's how they ended up in that situation. 

"I won't be your drunk experiment," she said quietly, trying to hide the pain inside her. She kept eye contact with the girl, hoping she would just snap out of her drunk, stupid idea. Her heart wouldn't stand it. 

The ginger seemed confused, but it was hard to read her expression in the dim light of the nearby lamp. 

"I'm not… that drunk." 

"Petra," Levi said more sternly. "I can't." 

"Am I gross?" Petra asked worryingly, making the other woman frown. 

Levi took a deep but shallow breath. 

"Listen to me," she started, barely holding a shake in her voice. "This? It will hurt me," she said, tightening her grip on her shoulders, as if she was stopping herself from running away. 

"I'd never hurt you, Levi," Petra said, clearly not grasping the situation in full view. 

"You need to sober up."

"I'm not that drunk!" 

"Then what do you think you're doing?" 

"I…" 

The words got stuck in Petra's throat and silence fell between them while they looked into each other's eyes. 

Levi's expression softened. Whatever was going on in the ginger's head, she wasn't messing with her on purpose. She raised her hand and ruffled her hair before grabbing her hand and leading her back to the garden where the party went on. 

She spotted Petra's friend and approached her. 

"Here, keep an eye on her, okay?" she said to the surprised girl with strawberry colored hair. 

Petra was quiet. She didn't look upset, but she seemed absent when Levi left the two of them. 

Confession

Next couple of days, they lived in this uncomfortable dance around the topic of what had happened during the party. 

Petra was rolling from side to side every couple of minutes in her bed, distressed by the thoughts in her head. 

It was easier to ignore her feelings when she had a lot to study for, but now after the exams, the relief got replaced by embarrassment. 

She didn't see much of Levi this week and she wondered if she offended her that much. In an awkward morning they ran into each other, she apologized to her older roommate just before she headed to work and that's where the topic ended. Levi was either unusually busy, or she intentionally spent more time outside to avoid her.

All because of me acting stupid on alcohol, Petra thought, turning onto her back. After a moment of mindless looking at the ceiling, her hand wandered to her lips and she touched them softly with the ends of her fingers. 

There it was, the uncertainty of what she actually wanted. The scary truth she was pushing aside since she started living here. 

Levi made her feel things like no one before. It was different from her crushes on boys, that's why it was so hard to grasp. When she crushed on boys, she wanted to be noticed, approved and complimented.

When it came to Levi… the feeling hit deep within her. So much stronger, intense. The dark haired beauty made her feel special by simply talking to her. Her icy gaze that could be so piercing, yet softened when she looked into her eyes, the pronounced jaw and cheekbones, her long fingers and firm touch - she was strong in every way. 

Petra closed her eyes and sighed. It was only a friendship, a close friendship. She adored her, but that was it. 

She could find a man who would distract her, or maybe Levi could find a girlfriend, and that circus of emotions would stop.

Letting that thought sink in, she took another deep breath. Seconds passed while an invisible force started tightening around her heart. 

With a sudden spark of energy, she frantically got out of bed and marched straight to her roomate room. She opened the door without thinking, earning a surprised face from her friend who laid on the bed, texting on her phone in the darkness. The ginger hit the light switch and bit her lip before speaking out. 

"I lied," she said, her voice shaking. "I'm not sorry." 

Levi looked confused, but she sat up. 

"What?" 

"I'm not sorry about doing… About trying to kiss you. Because I really wanted you to kiss me. I like you," she confessed loudly, her voice shaking. "And I don't know if you have someone already, but the thought of it, it… It's so bad. I don't want… You treat anyone else like you treat me," she sobbed and lowered her head, wiping her eyes with the short sleeve of her shirt. 

Levi was looking at her in shock and finally put her phone down. She frowned for a second before standing up to approach the distressed girl. Petra had a hard time looking her in the eyes. Levi grabbed her hand and pulled her to sit down on her bed together.

“Sorry I…cry so easily.” Petra mumbled, looking up to try to stop it. 

“Are you…sober now?” Levi asked, eyeing her. 

“Yes!” the ginger let out, frustrated, which actually amused the other woman.

“Okay, no more yelling. You’re gonna make the neighbors write complaints about us.”

“Sorry…” Petra replied in a small voice.

Levi watched her bothered expression and without thinking too much, she grabbed her elbows and moved her hands down her arms to her wrists, pushing her onto the mattress at the same time. Petra ended up pinned under her, her lips slightly parted in surprise. Levi’s face seemed devoid of emotions, but inside, there was a whole rush of so many of them. 

“I don’t like when you cry.” she stated after biting her own lip, deep in thought. “Especially if it’s because of me.”

Big amber eyes looked straight into her own. Her wish was coming true and she couldn't quite grasp that realization. She moved her hands again, this time to intertwine their fingers. 

“I have a horrible crush on you, Petra.” Levi confessed in a low voice, leaving the other one speechless. “So this better not be a joke.”

“I-It’s not.” she assured her right away and took a nervous breath. 

Levi’s mouth twitched into a smirk and she leaned in to catch her lips in a kiss. This time, finally, a real one.

your art is making me go absolutely feral about wondermagic. I never looked at Zatanna comics before (or much comics in general), do you have any recommendations on where to start? I need more of this funky gay stage magician and her huge dork girlfriend in my life.

oh god. I MEAN first of all YES!!!!! WONDERMAGIC W!!!!!!! im so happy to hear it. they make me actually crazy im glad youre enjoying The Art

however SECOND OF ALL i must confess (as i have confessed before!) that i am a fake ass comic book fan. i've barely read Anything for Any character (LOL) i am not at ALL versed in her various appearances/history. so tbh i hope my more knowledgeable followers can drop recs for both me and you if there's anything particularly noteworthy

but i can talk about what i HAVE read bc my journey with her has been very . memorable to me. THIS IS NOT A HELPFUL POST this is just me infodumping--AT LENGTH--about my and zatanna's relationship. but i do talk a little about what ive read. like casual rontra followers can stop reading here its just rambling

anyway my first exposure to ms zatanna was in the first proper dc comic i ever read. which doesnt count because its extremely not about her (this is a tangent) but its notable for making me out loud go "who is this MAGICIAN" which prompted my partner to immediately reply "you mean zatanna zatara". oh you know her. you know the magician. bitch who the hell is--

you gotta appreciate the experience here. its babys first ever comic. i know superman i know batman ive seen them around (from being alive as a human). i have never in my life heard of the stage magician who hangs out with them (in full costume??) and is their friend(?????)

SHES VERY MEMORABLE. WHO THE HELL IS THIS MAGICIAN

anyway that's all a tangent. flash forwards to last month. i was already working on CTDE from the kara^2 angle (bc i majored in n52 power girl w a minor degree in supergirl: woman of tomorrow, of course) but i was like "i should expand this roster". my friends suggest their blorbos ofc and i have a fun time reading wiki pages from multiple storylines/continuities just getting a wide array of impressions from different places. just snooping around the Vibes. and im like. man i should look at that Magician. read some of HER pages

you gotta appreciate knowing nothing at like 3am, to figuring out ctde zatanna's palette at 5:43 am

i can't resist her.

anyway i already knew here that i was going to do something weird with her in the CTDE that wasn't necessarily connected to any of her published material. i was cooking independently. the stove was on before i had ingredients on hand bc i had the IDEA first. but i was like "i should look at some of her stuff first-hand and try and refine the Vibes" yknow. like theres limits to how much of a fake zatanna fan i can be

so we put out a call in the Mutuals Network and someone was like "you Could watch the justice league dark movie from 2017 she's in that". i was like ok 1hr15 animated movie i can handle that EASY

i didn't love the movie. so i'm not going to say anything else about it. however something VERY IMPORTANT TO NOTE:

thats right. wondermagic took hold before i read a single zatanna comic. just as it has for you anon.... we're not so different you and i...

couple days pass. im just relaxing. hanging out. looking at random tumblr blogs that post comic stuff bc im curious. so i stumble on this one post and it has a clean edit of This Fateful Image 👇

this. GODDAMN image

i was like Wonder Woman is HOW TALL? excuse ME? (>he has also never engaged with a single piece of wonder woman content)

SHES SO TALL........??? and Next To Zatanna? (diesel voice) back in my day we called this spitting distance. and we would post it on /u/

im like okay what comic is this from im going there and im going NOW. to view her. like it's that easy folks. just show me wonder woman, Tall, next to another woman. and i'll go read it

nyway this is Justice League Dark from 2018-2020 it's like 30 issues or so and theres a stretch of chapters where diana is a real hunk its unbelievable. then the art changes but it was amazing while it lasted

(and then i immediately stumbled and wondermagic ctde real)

i really enjoyed this comic actually. i have NO idea how its generally regarded by zatanna nation, but i had a fun enough time. absorbed a lot of DC Comics Magic Lore for my AU which is important

at some point it starts doing Weirdly Umineko Coded dialogue totally unprompted so if you've read that it might tickle your funnybone to see comic book characters asking each other "was this a trick or was it magic 😏". made me feel right at home

my main complaint is that SHE'S NOT DRESSED LIKE A FUCKING MAGICIAN IN IT!!!! COME ON!!!!! they chickened out on the full magician garb in this whole era. which is just so sad. the fishnet fingerless gloves are funny though i might steal that. but i think she is so funny when she's wearing the full magician costume. like call me shallow but her commitment to the bit is so important to me

on the upside she interacts with wonder woman A Lot. the rest of the team is fun too. the justice league dark team is just wonder woman severely failing to put together a squad with any star power at all and i think that's adorable. her failgirl era. now she's out here with her also-rans. i like them all im fond of them

diana scruffs zee like a cat??? she's just hanging there like she's ok with it LOL

it technically jumps off of another comic but tbh if you're willing to hit the ground running and just Accept some stuff in medias res and go with it it's pretty easy to pick up if you wanted

("Just Going With It" is a vital survival skill for getting into comics in general because even if a comic isn't part of a longer continuity its always like "omg glup shitto is here!!! for the fans!!!" and you just have to be like Okay someone else will know who that is. ill just go w it. yknow 😭)

anyway i got a lot of DC Magic Lore (Strangely Familiar Edition) and Zee Content AND!!! Wondermagic Content. in this one. so even if i had an inkling about them before, this comic is really what detonated the charge so to speak. they interact so much

and the dynamic created w their relationship to magic and stuff is really interesting. brainwormy for sure. it took me from "who the hell is this magician" to "DO PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT WONDERMAGIC????? FOR THE LOVE OF GOD HELLO???" in one comic. i have a LOT of thoughts about them like genuinely i think there's meat on the bone conceptually for wondermagic

but i think pretty much any time they appear together in general they're just Like That. whenever theyre both in a comic they have to be gay about it (what the fuck did she mean by this). i was losing my mind when i was catching up on DC/RWBY (ABHORRED. avoid if possible) and zatanna is immediately on her bullshit again. IS THAT HOW YOU GREET HER

anyway to sum up my rambling here's a peek into my league of comic geeks library of Shit Ive Read Since Then (that had zee in it). basically i have no further wisdom for you but for the knowers this is where i'm at (click to enlarge)

it's a totally random selection LOL my strategy is that i look at comics that list her as a cast member and spin an actual roulette wheel in my brain to decide whether i should read it or not. there's very little else going on here. just monkey sees funny magician -> neuron activates

that pretty much catches us up on my zatanna journey. youll notice if you paid attention to the date/time stamps that it took a mere matter of Days to go from "yeah i can watch a movie" to "i think about her kissing women every night before i sleep". it is DIRE in here. im not sure ive ever had such a Severe escalation of worms

i love her. she's my funny girl. anyway. zatanna nation. if you're still reading this. if you're still with me. what is your wisdom. what should me and anon read. please.

this is a matter of international consequences.

Rules: shuffle your 'on repeat' playlist and post the first ten tracks, then tag ten people.

OKAY got tagged by @tearwolfe let’s see how this goes even though i don’t use spotify

the undertale au fan tracks i listened to back in 5th grade dragged me to be a soundcloud user ok anyways let me just

1. honey i’m home - ghost (i’ve been a huge ghost fan for a really long time, this is one of the many iconic ones)

2. checker dance - toby fox (yeah no i’m a HUGE utdr enjoyer, i have had some tracks saved for a while because like,,yeah toby)

3. unfriendly hater - meddmia (GAH this song is so fun i love the little story along with it, if motivation lets me one day i might do an mv, but chances are 50/50)

4. glory steady go - kinoshita (self explanatory i love wxs)

5. miracle paint (wxs ver) - oster project (song is funky when you excuse the meaning, also probably one of my favorite early game covers it’s still a nice listen)

6. suna no wakusei - hachi (i remember trying to find the symbolism for it way back when considering how many references are in the mv, also a huge banger which slaps)

7. close to you (sans ver) - niki (i think anyone who was into utdr has seen that ONE animatic with that song,,i still love watching that video every now and then the animation and vocals are gorgeous)

8. popipo - lamaze-p (vegetal)

9. aishite aishite aishite - kikuo (i love being funny at times and hitting the high notes, which aren’t nearly as high as i remember after listening to kara kara kara no kara, which uh,,yeah, still great song though kikuo never misses)

okay um that was a shuffle mission uhmmhhrr uh i don’t have many mutuals oopsies

Idk if she broke in before or during your time as a nightguard.

Coulda done it while you were sleeping lol.

We used to hang out after school at Fredbear’s Family Diner when we were teens,

We loved the pizza (cheap, good, customisable? What more could you ask for?), loved the vibes, and we loved those two golden animatronics/fursuits.

I even got a part time job there over the summer once (dayshift as a waitress), that’s when I found out about Mr. Afton’s whole fursona thing.

I was asked by Henry to go get William for a performance (there was a rule about only him being allowed to wear Springbonnie, shoulda clued us in lol), and I walked in on him doing finances inside the Springbonnie suit.

We kinda just stared at each other for a while before we talked about why I was there, ignoring the fursona thing.

When I told my friend, she IMMEDIATELY began scouting the place to find out more about William’s sitch with the Springbonnie suit.

She found some old character notes that explicitly stated that Springbonnie was nonbinary. And that the character existed for a LONG while, like into Mr. Afton’s teen years lol.

She’s always loved those characters, and despite how hard she’s tried, she just couldn’t create a fursuit close enough to the OG designs,

So, according to a mutual friend of ours, one night they were hanging out together, and whilst the mutual friend was on the edge of falling asleep, she decided to go break into Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria to see if she could steal the suits, or even just the designs or something. Our mutual friend wasn’t all that there, so they didn’t really process this until the next morning when she woke them up.

Anyway, she ended up finding some notes, she described them to look like the ones I knew existed for the suited up performers back at Fredbear’s, safety guides and the likes.

She then ranted about how there was metal clanging, and Foxy was humming his little “doo dum diddly um” thing, and apparently saw the fucker running about and prancing and shit.

I recently asked our mutual friend, and turns out: that night (before she decided to break into Freddy’s) they ate some funky looking mushrooms. So yeah. I’m gonna go see her and help her out soon, I’m not gonna let her go full on delulu over some drug fuelled hallucinations.

Interesting part is the safety guides, which are… actually quite disturbing. The animatronics are actually made wearable by something called Spring Locks. Which, basically, pin the animatronic bits to the edges of the suit. Sounds good, right? Nope! The springlocks are DANGEROUSLY fragile. Too much jostling? SNAP. Get a tad bit too wet? SNAP. Just a minor human error, and SNAP. You’re writhing in agony, and if you’re particularly unlucky: no more vocal chords, so you can’t scream. And if you’re secluded? You might just not be found soon enough.

Worst part? I recently did some digging, and found out that, well, springlocks 100% definitely killed a kid.

Don’t know who exactly, but a kid was being bullied by some older kids, who one day brought him up to Fredbear’s mouth, and due to the kid’s tears, Fredbear’s mouth chomped down on his head.

Like, I already knew of this, can’t live in Hurricane Utah when Fredbear’s was closing down and NOT hear about The Bite Of ‘83, but I never knew this much about HOW it happened…

I’ve been workin’ here a while, so it was probably during my time here. I must’ve been asleep. Fuck. Don’t bring any of this up with my boss, please.

And uh, jeez, that’s a LOT.

I know about ‘83, I mean, how could I not? I was there.

And some of this other stuff I knew, too. Not that stuff about the suits and my bosses in their teens, though. I’ll have to do a bit of fact checking on that one.

That’s a lot of info in one ask, though. Props to you for typing all of that out!

Please make sure your mutual friend doesn’t break in again.

7, 16 ❔

7. The two of you are at a zoo or an aquarium (you decide). Which section of the place are you two heading toward first? Or do you have different things in mind you wanna see from each other?

-AAAUUUUOOO aquarium dates are some of our favorites //w// obviously we both wanna see the SHARKS!!!! we spend a lot of time debating about which one is The Coolest (for Soul, great white, hands down - epitome of cool, duh. and that's a good choice! but I also like thresher sharks cause their tails remind me of him...they look lil like scythes...) and it's great fun. I also enjoy jellyfish exhibits, especially ones where the jellies are in cylindrical tanks and the room is dark n lit with different colors... He likes tank tunnels (like, a tunnel you can walk under and see the fish swimming all around you) and appreciating funky aquarium layouts. We also mutually always try and find The Weirdest thing at any given aquarium and turn it into a game as to who can find it first (and then maybe good-natured arguing about "that's not THAT weird you can't say you've won yet" "it's literally an 8 foot crab how much weirder is it going to get" "we've only seen half the exhibits I reserve the right to find something Weirder") ANYWAY YEAH aquarium dates are gr8 fun I wanna go on one with him again soon TAT

16. You and your f/o have a week to go on vacation anywhere you would want without having to worry about a budget. What places would you each come up to go to?

-oh man, the dream... For my part, we're definitely going back to Japan for part of it. It's really tempting to hit up all our old haunts from when we lived there but I think I'd try to pick places we haven't been but want to go, like Sapporo or Shirakawa. He'd like to do a food tour of Europe and also probably hit New Orleans for jazz stuff (and more food haha). We'd stay at hotels with nice big beds (he loves me and is supportive of my plushie habit but every so often he wants a Little more room SDFJKDLHF sorry babe ilu) and we'd end each day cuddled up together watchin' movies and eatin' snacks to recharge before the next day's adventures =w= waaahhh...I want it so bad////

[deada55]

I really appreciate your perspective on Toki, same anon as before. On a less canon compliant related note, do you have any favoured ships in MTL? If so, how is it/are they affected by things like their strange sexual struggles? (I.e, tokis bdsm and control issues, skwisgaars promiscuity, age preference and family issues, murderfaces seemingly reoccurring gay insecurity and urges ect.ect.)

So unfortunately I am a Nategail shipper, even after DSR. As someone who fucks up with losers in my free time… My favorite thing about that ship is that there is so much room for mutual appreciation. However, there’s not much real struggle I can see in their sex life, just great opportunities for Exploration. Or whatever.

The real juice is with Dickface, because MF being self hating, in my heart, can be fixed with some good anal. But, I doubt Dick tops dudes like he tops charts. We all know MF getting good with getting dick is an uphill battle anyway. I can’t really say anything that we don’t already know, because repressed homosexuality is no joke.

I also think that knowing a little bit more about Skwisgaar’s timeline about his sexuality and it’s expression would also be important to figure out what exactly he has going on. For me, I’d want to know his sources of inspiration when his body count was still in the double digits. What turned him on then definitely isn’t what turns him on now, which he explained in interviews as getting bored of conventional beauty, but old hangups don’t always fade the same way. Either way, his partner has to get down with potential openness/ENM in relationships: I really don’t think Skwisgaar could ever pull off monogamy. Love and sex don’t always go together, even though it makes really romantic slash. Let my trollop tramp!

Pickles is legit just vibing so often that I think sexual activity is Literally Fine with him. He’s chill.

Toki could do with or without a partner who gets down with degradation, especially if they checked all his other boxes. As a kinky person who enjoys vanilla sex, it’s something I can turn “on” and “off”… not everything needs to be Funky Fresh Fetish all the time. He could always get his Freak Fix from porn or other means (ENM, etc.)

~~I want to see Nathan take it up the ass so bad. He’s such a lazy fuck who hates pressure, effort, and decision making because it’s scary and takes work. Pillow princess. Wants his needs met as quickly as possible, without him having to do anything. Make it happen, y’all! Best case scenario he’s a powerbottom.~~
