i think there would be a really easy way to combine the first oz books wherein dorothy aids in the discovery of ozma and in learning of the wizard's misdeeds against a land not his own she would have a firmer compassion to the place she was trying to escape from and we could feel satisfied when she returns to kansas

kpop fanboy!eren who runs a famous stan account for his favourite kpop group — but mostly only famous himself because most fans stan him instead

kpop fanboy!eren who regularly posts dance videos or makes fan based tiktoks about the group. kpop fanboy!eren whos even been noticed by some of the groups on twitter when they do occasional menpas.

kpop fanboy!eren who makes a group chat for a meet up at a concert for his favourite group in his city. kpop fanboy!eren who adds you into the chat, unknowing of how cute you are. he doesn’t realise at first — being chat admin comes with it’s responsibilities and for awhile he’s unaware of who you are.

but one day kpop fanboy!eren checks your account out of curiosity and it’s absolutely star struck by how pretty you are. kpop fanboy!eren who dms you privately to get to know you. kpop fanboy!eren who no longer talks in the chat but never fails to text you throughout the day.

“fuck, you’re much cuter over the screen.”

kpop fanboy!eren‘s voice is deep as you cover your giggle with the back of your hand. why exactly was he facetiming you again?

kpop fanboy!eren who’s chats are suggestive despite his constant tweets about turning down advances from other fangirls. kpop fanboy!eren who asks if youd like to meet up a few hours before the kpop concert.

kpop fanboy!eren who takes you out for a meal at the kbbq place not too far from the venue.

“damn, you’re even cuter in person” he says as he hugs you hello.

kpop fanboy!eren who tells you to slip with him into his section of the concert venue so that you’re closer to the stage. kpop fanboy!eren who tells you to come with him to the toilets real quick before the concert starts — something about one of his contacts flying out.

however, once you step out of the arean seating area, kpop fanboy!eren softly leans you up against the wall of the hallway and you have to ask him what’s wrong.

“can i kiss you right now?” he asks, breath hitched and hands warm on your waist.

“what happened to your contacts? they’re okay now?” you muse although you can feel your heart picking up at his advances.

“they were always fine.” he rolls his eyes. “just wanted an excuse to get with you alone.”

and you figure that was the idea but you didn’t want to jump to conclusions. regardless, youre leaning in first so that he can get the message. kpop fanboy!eren takes the initiative and lightly kisses you as he meets you half way.

but the kiss doesn’t stay innocent for along and soon the both of you are gripping at each others faces and pressing into the other.

“okay, now i need to go to the bathroom.” he breaths and you understand what he’s getting at.

kpop fanboy!eren ends up fucking you over the sink in the communal toilets. his moans are so loud, garbling on about how he’s been waiting so long for this.

every time someone accidentally steps in, you have to abashedly cover your face because most of stan tweet were literally at this show. but kpop fanboy!eren didnt care about who saw, and that aroused you even more because he had more to lose than you did.

the both of you hear the thundering opening of the kpop act coming on stage and you want to get angry at the man but you cant! he was digging you out so good that maybe missing just the first few minutes werent so bad.

“ren…ren…t-the show.” you whine with the back of your head leaning against the mirror.

kpop fanboy!eren doesnt let up — he just continues fucking into your wet cunt.

“fuck the show. right now…im f-fucking…fucking you.”

kpop fanboy!eren pulls out at the last minute and ends up cumming onto your concert fit. you have in mind to be mad at him but the sparkling glow in his eyes and the way he still reaches in for a kiss changes your mind.

both you and kpop fanboy!eren go back to the arena area to watch the rest of the concert and you enjoy it regardless. you just both make sure to mute your usernames on the timeline once it’s finished.

grassland arean in chongqing

[talulagrimm]

Well that was fast. I haven't gotten 5 stars in all the levels yet though so I plan to do that. My honest opinion is that this game is slightly better gameplay wise than rise of the sphinx but that's about it really? I kind of missed the character interactions + the unique context specific voice lines in the levels of Rise of the Sphinx. The battle areans though pissed me off so bad. The enemy waves are glitched majority of the time so the next wave just doesn't spawn or you have to wait ages for it to spawn. You also can't access your save file once you beat the final boss. You can go back and play the levels but not the arenas meaning your stats are reset which sucks.

Overall I'd say both games are about the same in quality. While one has better gameplay the other has better character stuff.

gold medal

January 5, 2024

Kensington saw the puck go across the ice and knew they had just won the gold medal, she didn’t know if it was her screams in her ears or her teammates or both, but she skated over jumping on top of all her teammates at the goalie net.

The rest of the team all jumped over then bench skating over to meet all of them.

The whole team was jumping up and down onto of each other, smiles across everyone’s faces.

Kensington felt someone pull on her shoulder turning to see a grinning Gabe, Kensington laughed as they lunged at each other the same time hugging tightly.

Ryan skated over jumping on top of both of them shaking them, “Let’s go baby!” He was shaking them and yelling like crazy.

Will looked over seeing his three best friend and skated over jumping onto the three knocking the all four of them onto the ice.

The four laughed happily as they hugged on the ice having literally just had one of their dreams come true.

“Oh my god, we really did that!” Gabe laughed in disbelief.

Kensington let out a shocked laughed rolling over to lay her back straight onto the ice.

Will and Ryan laughed together seeing Gabe and Kensington both laying down comfortably on the ice and shared a look standing up, Will grabbed Kensington by her waist and Ryan grabbed Gabe’s hands pulling them up.

The team lined up and all were dancing to the music as they were given their gold medals, and all went back to the blue line.

“And now ladies and gentlemen, please rise and remove your hats for the national anthem of USA.” The commentator spoke through out the arean.

The U.S.A. team all linked arms as the music of their national athem started and the whole team was belting out the lyrics with wide grins adorned on their faces.

Will gently knocked his head againt Kensington’s head, who was standing next to him, Kensington looked up at Will and knocked her head against his head laughing as they continued to sign the song loudly with their team.

Kensington was grinning the whole time and was vibrating with excitement as the team watched Rutger get handed their trophy and turned around coming towards them and lifting it into the air.

The who team jumped on top of each other, jumping up and down as the whole rink was covered in gold confetti.

The whole team was on a giddy high as they all but skipped their way back to the locker room, hollering down the hallways.

Kensington could feel herself losing her voice from all the screaming, especially as they all huddled together to scream together oh mama don’t you cry.

Kensington sat at her stall having slipped her jersey and pads off leaving her in a black sports bra, Gabe threw an arm around her shoulder pulling her into the photo with him.

Will and Ryan leaned over from the other side getting into the photo.

Ryan ended up getting up and jumping into other peoples photos of and Gabe walked away leaving just Kensington and Will sitting next to each other.

Will raised an eyebrow at her making her giggle but nod and she reached into her stall pulling her phone out and open her camera and hood in front of them as Will help up both of their gold medals, Kensington and Will both smiled at the camera as she took the photo.

Kensington posted the photo onto her story before getting changed out of her equipment and changed back into her light purple suit.

Kensington headed back to her and Gabe’s hotel room deciding to shower first as Gabe was seeing his parents and her parents couldn’t make it to the tournament.

Kensington threw on a multi colored striped sweater and a pair of mom jeans before getting out of the bathroom letting Gabe head into the bathroom. She sat at the desk finishing her hair and putting on a lightly layer of mascara and some lipgloss and putting on the rest of her jewelry that she took of her the game, she slipped on her a pair of boots and played on her phone until Gabe was done.

Gabe finished getting ready and Kensington and him headed out of the room and headed to the karaoke bar that was close by and was meeting up with their teammates and any of their girlfriends or siblings that came with them.

It seemed like Gabe and Kensington were one of the last people to walk into the bar seeing some of their teammates alreadly very drunk.

Gabe and Kensington walked over to where Will and Ryan were talking with a few of their teammates talking.

Kensington slid next to Will nudging him with her elbow and Will looked over smiling at her.

Kensington looked over seeing Ryan already looking very tipsy and he stood up and dragged Drew up to the stage and put on We are never getting back together by Taylor Swift and the two started screaming it into the microphones.

Kensington let out a laugh making sure to pull out her phone to flim the two especially as they started dancing on the stage together and Drew dipped Ryan.

The whole bar was filled with their group and everyone cheered for Ryan and Drew’s performance and then Rutger and Gavin went up next.

Kensington ended up walking away from the team after almost everyone had already went onto the stage for the karaoke and went to the bathroom.

Kensington walked out for the bathroom when she finished and saw Will leaning on the wall, “Willy?” Kensington titled her head curiously wondering why Will was waiting outside the bathroom.

“Hey Gray,” Will looked up smiling at the sound of her voice, he saw the questioned look, “I uh didn’t want anything happen if you went to the bathroom alone so i waited outside.” Will sheepishly explained not wanting to anything to happen to her.

Kensington felt her face soften and her heart squeeze in fondness for her best friend, she leaned on the wall next to him and nudged him gently, “Thank you.” She appreciated that he cared enough to wait for her.

“Always.” Will softly smiled looking down at her, Kensington looked up at him and saw the way Will’s eyes flickered down to lips and he leaned closer, Kensington nervously bit her lip but leaned in slightly.

Kensington let out a nervous breath at Will being so close to and she could just feel his lips brush hers and suddenly a very drunk Ryan was putting his arms around them both as he was hollering loudly and Kensington and Will both pulled apart quickly and Kensington looked away immediately feeling her heart beat rapidly in her chest and Will kept his eyes on her.

Kensington let Ryan drag Will and her back to their team and she sat right next to Cutter, who gave her a concerned look seeing her look panicked, “You alright Singy?” He put at arm around her and looked at one of his favorite teammates and the girl who had become like his little sister over the last few years.

Kensington shook her head and rested her head on Cutter’s shoulder and closed her eyes, getting the comfort of an older brother from Cutter, especially since she had known him for years know and he is one of the older players she is closet with.

“Will almost kissed me.” Kensington whispered quietly to Cutter, still in shock she almsot kissed her best friend and maybe the person she has been crushing on but has been trying to get over it.

“Oh.” Cutter’s eyes widen and looked at her, “What happened?” Cutter had seen Kensington when she realized she had a crush on Will but he knew she didn’t want to risk her friendship with him so she had been trying to get over her crush.

“Ryan interrupted us.” Kensington whispered playing with her bracelets.

Cutter slowly nodded and he could see she didn’t want to keep talking about it, “Do you want to go back to hotel?” He also knew she had a really early flight the next morning as she had to get back to New Jersey.

“Please.” Kensington softly whispered. Cutter stood up with her keeping his arm around her shoulder as they said goodbyes to a few of their teammates and walked out of the bar, not seeing Will look at them with a sad face and dejected frown.

Cutter walked Kensington the quick walk back to their hotel and he walked with her up to her hotel room, “Are you gonna be alright?”

Kensington looked at him and wrapped her arms around him needing a hug, “I will be.”

Cutter gently wrapped his arms around her and letting her hug him as long as she needed.

Kensington eventually stepped back and gave him a small smile, “Thank you.” She turned around and headed into her room.

She took a deep breath before getting changed in a purple sweatshirt and sweatpants set before starting to pack up her bags before her flight in the morning, she set her alarms and headed into bed wanting to get as many hours as she could before having to get up early.


Kensington was so deep asleep she didn’t even hear when the door opened and Will was helping a drunk Gabe into the room, Will helped Gabe lay on his bed and covered him with the covers.

Will started to walk out of the hotel room and looked at Kensington, he walked over pulling the blanket up around her and he leaned down pressing a very gentle kiss to her forehead, “I’m so sorry gray.” He looked at her regrettably once more before walking out of the room.

January 6, 2024

Kensington woke up hearing her alarm and quickly shutting it off, she looked towards the windows seeing it still pitch black out side and the sun still down.

She got out of bed and headed to the bathroom and got ready real quick.

She slipped on her black high top converses and packed the rest of her stuff into her suitcase, she zipped the suitcase up and grabbed her backpack, slipping it onto her backpack and rolling her suitcase out of her hotel room.

Kensington headed down to the lobby and waited for the taxi to take her to the airport.

Kensington sat in the Taxi watching the asleep city as they drove to the Airport.

She thanked the driver before grabbing her bags and walking into the airport, she went through Security and walked through the Sweden airport to her gate. She had some time before her flight and headed to the Starbucks getting an Ice Matcha and a breakfast sandwich before waiting by her gate.

Kensington boarded her flight and put her suitcase in the overhead before sitting in her window seat, she grabbed out her headphones and pulled out her journal. She slipped her headphones on and started her playlist and looking out the window as the plane was about to takeoff.

Kensington spent most of the eight hours either listening to music or working on one of her songs in her journal and before she knew they were already landing in New Jersey.

She eventually got off the plane and walked through the airport and got into a uber to take her to Jack’s apartment.

She walked through his apartment building and got to his apartment and knocked on the door waiting, not sure who would be in the apartment and who is already at the Arena.

Jack opened the door looking pretty down but the second he saw his sister he smiled happily and pulled her into a one armed hug as his other arm is in a sling.

“I’m so proud of you Sunshine.” Jack pressed a soft kiss to the side of head, having watched almost all of games during the WJC, and watched her gold medal game with Luke, Quinn and their parents. They all were really happy for her but sad they couldn’t have been there for her.

“Thanks Jacky.” Kensington voice was very quiet and raspy as hugged him, sighing in relief to see part of her family for the first time since thanksgiving as she also spent the holidays with her team in Sweden and not with her family.

“How’s is it?” Kensington softly asked as they pulled apart and headed into his apartment, she didn’t have a chance to see his game only got told he was hurt and wasn’t playing tonight.

“Been worse.” Jack grimaced unhappy about being injured again.

“Well, if you can’t play for a little awhile, i have room for visitors.” Kensington softly whispered her voice still raspy from all the screaming and yelling. She also knew Jack doesn’t do great sitting alone when his team goes on road games and she is only a three hour drive away or a quick flight.

“I like that.” Jack smiled wanting to spend some time with his sister and that may be the only positive about being injured, “Luke and Quinn headed out a while ago and Mom and Dad have left a few minutes ago. So if you want to change or something but we can leave whenever you’re ready.”

“I’ll change.” Kensington nodded and she headed down the hallway with her bags to the guest room she always stays in. She put her suitcase down and zipped it open pulling out her outfit and she grabbed her makeup bag.

She put on a pair of loose blue jeans and a thick grey sweater, a multicolored scarf and her tan ugg’s. She put on very light makeup and grabbed her phone walking out of the room to the living room where Jack was waiting.

Jack looked up at the sound of her waking into the room, “Ready?” Kensington nodded and headed to the front door as Jack slipped on his black coat, “Uh Sunny, so i’m not supposed to drive..” Jack trailed off looking at his sister.

“That’s ok.” Kensington smiled shaking her head and held out of her hand letting Jack giver her the car keys.

They headed down to the parking garage and Kensington hoped into the drivers seat as Jack got into the passenger seat, she started the car and started driving to the Prudential Center.

Jack showed her how to get into the player lot and she pulled into his spot. They walked into the Arena and Jack led them through the hallways, “You don’t mind if it’s just us, because i can take you to Mom and Dad.”

Jack having gotten two seat in the press box and hoping to be less seen there and their parents had gotten a suite with the friends and family that came out for the game.

“With you.” Kensington softly whispered not minding waiting to see her family especially because all of them were free tomorrow and are going to spend the day together and she knows the suite is packed with friends and family and she’s exhausted and can barely talk so she really doesn’t want to be in a suite filled with people.

“Alright Suns.” Jack smiled swinging his good arm around her shoulder pressing a kiss to the side of her head.

They walked to the press box and sat in the seats seeing the teams already warmed up and about to do the puck drop.

Kensington leaned her head onto Jack’s good shoulder as the puck just dropped and the players started lining up for the game to start.

The two watched the game, with no score in the first period and the second period ended in 4-2 with the Canucks leading, the third period started and and both team scored two more times and the game ended 6-4, with the Canuck’s winning against the Devils.

Jack groaned dropping his head as the game ended and hating that they lost against the Canucks.

“Well looks likes Quinn has another win.” Kensington giggled seeing Jack dramatically groan. Jack and Quinn keeping score of all the time they played against each other, who won and or who lost.

Jack and Kensington got up and started the walk down the locker room where they saw some of their family.

Ellen felt someone hug her side and she looked down seeing her daughter, Ellen smiled wrapping her arms around her, “Oh my love!”

“Hi Mama.” Kensington whispered hugging her mother tightly.

Ellen reluctantly let her daughter go, Jim wrapped his arms around his daughter and tightly hugged her.

Jim smiled down at his youngest and before letting her greet the rest of their family and friends that were there.

“Hi Liv.” Kensington whispered as she hugged Olivia.

“Hi Kens.” Olivia fondly smiled having grown quite close to the young girl.

“Sunnyyy!” Luke cheered happily as he rushed forward and picked his baby sister in a big hug and spun her around.

“Lu!” Kensington held onto her brother as he spun her around.

Luke gently set her down and pressed a kiss to her forehead, “Hello miss gold medalist!” Luke proudly teased her.

Kensington softly laughed, “Thank you.” She pressed a kiss to his cheek before seeing Quinn walking out of his locker room and perked up seeing her big brother as she hadn’t see Quinn the longest out of her family.

She quickly lunged at him wrapping his arms around him and resting her head on his chest.

“Hello Sunshine.” Quinn smiled hugging her back gently and contently closing his eyes as he held his baby sister. Quinn wrapped an arm around her shoulder and walked to the their family.

Kensington smiled seeing her family all together something that doesn’t happen often.

Hiiii I hope you're having a wonderful day!

I wanted to ask about Rennala. Do you like her as a character/aesthetically/as a bossfight? Have you ever drawn her? (I couldn't find it because Tumblr search system sucks ass)

I think your art style has this very distinct moodiness to it that really suits Rennala's face. She got that cold beauty to her.

What's your headcanon on her hair length. Does she stuff long, beautiful locks into that banana hat? Bald Rennala? Just short hair?

Also I wanna know your take on this post >:3c

<3 <3 <3

Heyy my day was great! Hope u having a good on too <3

Rennala is 100% the best aesthetic boss in Elden Ring. The whole moon thing and like the boss arean!? Best ever

I’ve drawn her like once or twice b4 idk why I don’t draw her more i love her whole aesthetic. As for the hair idk I’ve always pictured her as having ridiculously long hair but short hair Rennala is rlly nice too

But her having long hair is a little confusing like where does it all go? Is it stuffed in that hat is that why the hat is so long? These r the questions the lore nerds should b focusing on.

Also Rennala is curvy like it makes too much sense NOT to b true

More from the Glory being raised by Webs AU! So some comments in my last post brought up some really good points about how Glory leaving early would affect the plot of book 1. Additionally, I saw a post (for the life of me I cannot remember where on tumblr I saw it but it was here) saying that Peril should've been the one to give Scarlet her face scar. Soooo taking these two ideas and putting them in a blender, we got something for this AU.

More details under the cut as well as an image!

TW: burn scars, scarring, and eyestrain

So, since Glory is no longer there when the Dragonets (or what's left) is found by Scarlet, Glory and Webs in long gone (we'll get back to those guys once I figure out what happens with them), there's really no one to take out Scarlet at the moment (foreshadowing). I'd probably make Peril younger in this AU mainly bc I don't like the idea of her being the only adult in the Jade Winglet. Peril has always been an interesting character, she's someone who's literally been manipulated from childhood and conditioned to act a certain way. I'd imagine her still being very loyal to Scarlet, but a little angry (bc she should be WAY angrier in the books, girl literally had her life robbed by Scarlet). I also imagine she does a lot of things without thinking and on top of that has a lot of anxiety over who she should trust/what she should do etc. When Peril initially befriends Clay, she's just glad to have someone to talk to and she can finally start building her nonexistent social skills (in this AU I also imagine she's 10x harder to talk to bc of her lack of social skills). Clay brings up the idea of escaping and Peril joining the group, but this makes Peril very nervous. Scarlet was all she ever knew, and leaving that was kind of scary, so she declines. Overtime, Peril learns from Clay that her life is not really normal (or healthy), this instills a lot of doubt in Peril, but she still trusts Scarlet, after all, she took her in when no one else would (lie). Eventually comes Kestrel's trial, which is when Peril figures out what Scarlet did, which shatters her whole world and makes her start to resent Scarlet. Fast forward to the arean match between Clay and Peril. Peril is about to win the match, she turns on Scarlet and tackles her, causing Scarlet's melted face. She then helps the other dragonets and guardians (not sure if Dune or Hvitur will be alive at this point) and skidaddle.

btw I got the idea for the Peril design from this post right here

VOLTRON HIRAETH AU!!

(link to my page here :D) https://archiveofourown.org/users/GraphX

Basically a rundown of the plot I have planned so far! I will be writing and posting in order on AO3!

But there are some specific scenes I wanted to write because I don't have the patience or time to write everything in order(I'll be posting them here under the Hiraeth AU tag) THIS ENTIRE THING IS GEN BTW!!!

Hiraeth

(n.) a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for lost places of your past

• Allura from another reality goes quintessence crazy after defeating Haggar at the cost of the lives of the other Paladins

• She goes from universe to universe trying to gather enough quintessence to bring back her reality that she accidentally tore apart but only gets worse and worse the more quintessence she is exposed to

• In the current universe she experiments with quintessence and accidentally kills her parents along with Zarkon and Honerva. Villian!Allura turns the blame to the Galra, causing the Allura of this universe to wage war on them as the only successor to the Altean throne.

• Lotor tries to convince Allura that her other self is lying to her but she doesn't believe it, leaving Lotor to flee from the Galran commanders trying to kill him to gain the throne(he goes into hiding before organizing a resistance after meeting the other generals)

• Villian!Allura is concerned that the Paladins of this universe will try to stop her so she destroys Earth

• However prior to the Altean invasion the Kerberos mission took place with Sam and his crew consisting of Matt, Adam and Shiro(who are all 16/17 for plot reasons they were interns or something IT MAKES SENSE DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!!!)

• Sam, Matt and Shiro are kidnapped and sent to the arenas while Adam manages to steal a ship to get back to Earth, only to find it destroyed

• The Galran Empire remnants (who were already planning on attacking Earth and communicating with Sanda(who sent Sam away on Kerberos because she thought he would get in the way of her failed "negotiations" and hoped he was kidnapped) fight with the Alteans, leaving Earth in the crossfire

• The Blade of Marmora attempt a relief effort and get one billion people off Earth before it explodes, finding Adam and establishing a planet they can live on before leaving them to their own devices

• In this AU all the Paladins are kids when Earth got destroyed (around 6 to 8) and Keith's dad dies during the evacuation helping defend the transports from Alteans but Kolivan saw that Keith's dad had a Marmoran knife(that he didn't give to Keith at 8 years old)

• Kolivan takes in Keith as a Blade agent since he has no human to provide for him but he keeps his identity as a human secret from the rest of the Blades to ensure none of them snitch since the Alteans have offered a lot for humans

• Kolivan knows the knife was Krolia's but doesn't tell her since she already jeopardized the Blade of Marmora once by leaving for Earth and without the temptation of her son she won't leave again

• Keith(as you can expect) did not have a very happy childhood growing up in an organization of trained killer assassin ninjas which resulted in more ~trauma~

• On one of his missions he is captured by Galra and put in the areans with Champion!Shiro and Keith meets another human for the first time who shows him kindness and starts to question if the Blades are right

• Keith escapes from the Arena with the Blades but convinces Ulaz to go back for Shiro and he meets up with Adam in the human colony

• On another mission Keith runs into Lance, Hunk and Pidge who are searching for a supposed superweapon in an attempt to defend themselves from Alteans and Galrans that prevent them from leaving their hiding spot at the edge of the universe

• he thinks to himself "wow these guys are annoying and weird I sure do hope I never see them again" before the Blades immediately order him to find the superweapon to keep it out of human, Altean and Galran hands because they are unreliable

• Krolia helps track down information it and Keith notices that whenever she is bored she recites star charts (kinda like his dad used to do) and the constellations look eerily familar

• Keith gets hurt, Krolia finds out his identity and takes him to the human colony so he doesn't have to stay in the abusive Blade environment anymore

• When she tries to get Keith to colony they are tracked by Alteans and Krolia manages to trick the Alteans and Keith crash lands on the surface only to see the ship leaving

• now that all the paladins are in one place they protect the colony after going on a couple of missions to find the lions while Keith tries to track down the very elusive Blade of Marmora

Theres more to it than that, BUT that's all for now!
