#bc i’m a blue kin

[moonsuke]

I’m almost caught up to the anime!! still debating if i wanna read on ahead first...

but then the top 6's introduction stopped me cause WHY DOES NAGI HAVE SUCH HUGE EYES LOL

literally half his face is just eyes!! and it’s not like it’s the first time he’s drawn like this but like, the rest of the top 6 are so well-proportioned in comparison??? so when nagi popped up it hit me how big they actually are 😭

i cannot, why is he so cute this is why im taking so darn long to read the fucking manga because i keep. pausing. at every. nagi panel!!!!

also the number of times i've replayed nagi's "oh" in the anime...

[roylustang]

Hi!

Could I request the brothers + side characters reaction when mc turns into a goose? I was thinking something like mc turned into a goose due to Solomon messing up again, and they act like the goose from Untitled Goose Game, but cuddlier. Like they are still a little menace, but also want to be pet and cuddled.

If you don’t want to do this request I completely understand as it is a bit odd. I hope you have a great day/night!

A/N: Sorry that I’m so late!! I was just caught up in a lot of things and forgot this was in my drafts oof. I also changed a few things up just to be a little silly (and also bc I didn’t want to write the personality of duck MC here). Anyway, I decided to divide this into two parts; one for the brothers and the other for the side characters. Enjoy!

The Brother’s Reactions to Duck!MC

Characters: Lucifer, Mammon, Leviathan, Satan, Asmodeus, Beelzebub, Belphegor

Rating: SFW, fluff

Warnings: GN!MC, no pronouns used for MC, no gender specified for MC, interactions based on the brothers (not MC), personality not specified for MC

Tags: Fluff, the brothers love duck!MC, cuddling, preening, etc.

Part I (This Is Where You Currently Are), Part II (Coming Soon!)

Lucifer

How the hell did this happen?

“Will you stop taking my things, please? You’re making my life even more difficult than it is already.”

At first, he’d have fun with it, teasing you by picking you up randomly when in private

Even going so far as to sit in his lap while he pets you

But then he’d look for a way to fix it

And eventually he does, much to everyone’s protests

He’ll miss the times when he sets you in his lap and feeds you your favourites, but if you can be more helpful to him in your human form, he’d prefer that

Besides

He’d like to see your face instead of that of a duck

Mammon

Oh lord

Is he ever about to get in trouble

He’s no doubt teaming up with you to steal money

I mean

A duck?

In the Devildom?

Now THAT is about to attract a lot of money

He’d probably set up an attraction where lots of demons and demon-kin alike get to meet and pet a real goose

I feel like at the end of it all, even if Mammon did get a lot of money, you’d be exhausted

Because you already know you were out there for hours getting pet by so many

You need to recharge a bit

And that includes a lot of pets from Mammon

And a lot of cuddles

You know he’s going to be so happy to oblige

Levi

Unlike Mammon, he’s not going outside of the house

So you don’t have to worry about that

He’ll set you in his lap while he’s playing video games and he’ll let you time to time between bosses

Hell, he’ll even give you a controller to play with him if he’s feeling extra bored

And it baffles him how you win every time

Because a duck? Beating him? That’s impossible!

But he loves it

He’d lose to you again and again if it meant holding you in his lap like this

Satan

Team Prank Lucifer: Duck Addition

No but seriously, he’s getting into mischievous trouble with you in tow

He’d probably start by making cursed illusions of you but they all have different personalities

For instance, one could be kind and gentle while another could blow up the house

But while your illusions are causing havoc, the real you is resting in his lap as he reads a good book

He’s running his fingers through your goose feathers, practically preening you

He finds it relaxing how he can just pet you and sit back

If he’s honest, he hasn’t been reading his book for the past half an hour

He’s too busy adoring the way you shake your feathers in response to his pets

He finds you irresistibly adorable

Asmodeus

You already know he’s going to put you in cute little outfits

Doesn’t matter how much you hiss at him, he’ll find a way to put some sort of sweater on you

Once he does, he squeals and gets out his phone, taking a selfie with your very-not-amused-goose-face

This is not the first outfit he’s putting you in though, he’s putting you in sparkling pink and blue dresses and cute little tuxedos

He’s also putting some big, fluff coats on you

You’re not getting out of his sight no matter how hard you try

You just have to hope he gets bored

But let’s be honest here

That’s not happening

Beelzebub

Beel is pretty chill when he sees you all snuggled up beside his pillow, minding your own business

At first, he didn’t know it was you so he just kinda left you alone, thinking that you were another one of his brother’s crazy pets

Only when you had followed him out to the kitchen did he start to catch on

And once he does know it’s you, he’s carrying you everywhere with him

To the kitchen, the common room, the gym, RAD, or even the Demon Lord’s Castle

It doesn’t matter

As long as you’re in his arms, he’s happy

And if you want, he’d give you a few snacks as well

He doesn’t mind

And honestly? He’d get a bit sad when you return to normal

He got used to carrying you around :(

Belphegor

You can get he’s not moving unless he has to

So you’re his napping buddy until he’s forced to get up

He’d hold you in his arms and cuddling you as he sleep talks

Sometimes, if you’re lucky, you can escape his grasp and sit on either his back or his stomach

When he wakes up, he’s so confused bc his sleepy brain is thinking-

“Why is there a duck on me?”

And then he remembers that it’s you and he bundles you up in his arms again

He looks away when your duck wings flap in his face but he starts petting you when you settle

He’ll stay awake to pet you despite the pull of his sin that makes his eyes flutter closed every now and then

But he enjoys it

And when you return to normal, he’s in your arms fast asleep

[kny-agere]

hi! if requests are open can i request a little!giyuu and cg!misturi? Giyuu regressing after a hashira meeting and mitsuri caring for him?

no pressure ofc!

RAWR I LOVE GIYUU N MITSURI

maybe it’s bc I kin Giyuu and I want Mitsuri to be my cg or that I ship them lgjfyhfu but I love any excuse to write them interacting (*≧∀≦*)

★彡☆彡★彡

“Are you sure you don’t want to join us?” Kyojuro has already asked several times. It’s on the verge of being annoying but Kanroji sees the caring underneath.

“Leave her alone.” Obani is a lot less gentle with his words. Though he too looks disappointed at her promised absence.

She can only offer an apologetic smile. “Sorry boys. Oh buy I’ll some dessert next time we go out though!” She would buy it either way, but the offer is nice.

Turning in the other direction she sprints off towards Tomioka. While they didn’t have preset plans, she was hoping they could make some now. He didn’t often like changing things last minute, but the man was weak willed when it came to Mitsuri.

He’s walking slow. It’s not hard to catch up. Even when her footsteps are audible he doesn’t look towards her.

“Giyuu-kun! How are you?”

He blinks at her question. “Fine.”

“Ah are you? You were so quiet at the meeting.”

“Sorry?” He’s usually quiet at the meetings, and in general. “…How are you?”

“I’m good! I just wanted to see you.” Mitsuri grabs his hand, pleased when he allows her to cling to him. Even now it’s not rare for him to pull away. “Are you going back to your estate?”

“Yes.”

“And you’re okay if I join you? I don’t have any other plans.” It’s technically true though she doesn’t disclose the ones she turned down.

He stiffens slightly. “What do you want?” Giyuu tries not too sound harsh but it’s debatable if he succeeds. The man can’t stand indirect language.

“You looked a little sad at the meeting, and Shinazugawa-san hit you!” She’s switched to using the wind hashira’s last name ever since the girl witnessed him antagonizing Giyuu.

“He does that usually.”

“Oh I know! Or I mean- I thought that was just how you guys were, but he says some really awful things sometimes.”

The man frowns.

“S-sorry. Are you ok?”

Unwilling to lie, but also not wanting to admit his feelings, he remains silent.

“Can I take care of you?”

That is something he can accept, even if it’s only with a small nod. “Once we get to my estate.” His voice has already grown softer.

“It’s not too far of walk right? Can I carry you?”

“I said once we get there.” Tomioka strikes a good balance between kindness and assertion this time. He can’t force himself to make eye contact still, pink cheeks denoting his true feelings.

“Ok!” For now Kanroji focuses on grasping his arm. She pushes right against his side to get closer to him. Though it’s likely they’ll spend the whole afternoon together she still enjoys taking advantage of their meetings.

Tomioka’s will is clearly crumbling. His pace varies, slowing down while he leans against Mitsuri until he snaps out of his stupor and pulls her along. His eyes start to get that spacey look where all he wants to do is cling to the woman. Every few seconds Mitsuri can sense the man glancing towards her.

“Giyuu-kun,” she singsongs, “Are we almost there?”

“Jus’ up th’ hill.”

Though he still rejects the offer to be carried the woman does have to drag him all the way to the door. Even once inside she has to direct him to the couch while Tomioka continues to slip deeper.

The man, with his some conscious still left, tries to sit beside Kanroji. She’s quick to interrupt him however and guide Giyuu into her lap. As his head nestles against her chest all the weight in his body sinks into her. He must’ve been more upset than he was letting on if he regressed this quickly.

“Yuu-chan!” Kanroji sweeps black bangs out of his eyes. “Are you hungry?” When she tries to peek at his face he only smashes it harder against her shoulder. After a bit of poking and shifting she still only catches a glimpse of one blue eye.

“C’mon sweet boy let me see how pretty you are.” Pulling back he simply follows the movement.

Surrendering for a moment she lets him hide from her while continuing to stroke his hair. Slowly she pulls off the tie holding all the strands in place. A mess of choppy black spills over her arms.

“It’s so soft! Do you want me to do it for you?” Mitsuri tries to keep her tone casual.

Giyuu takes the bait. He pulls back to look up at her with too trusting eyes. It almost makes the woman feel bad for tempting him to come out of hiding. “Inna braid?” It’s the only style that he’s ever asked for. Anything else and the boy is quick to turn the offer down.

His choppy locks don’t lay nicely when she tries to thread them together but Tomioka is very patient. She’s convinced that half the reason he tolerates it is just because of the feeling of her fingers running gently over his scalp.

Combing through the mess of black she carefully sorts through any knots in the hair. Despite its messy look the man takes care if it. Mitsuri doesn’t even need a brush to get through it.

Dividing it into three sections she slowly starts weaving them together. He stills until he’s a statue, not daring to interrupt Kanroji’s skilled hands. She has to start with smaller braids on either side of his head to capture the overgrown sides before intertwining everything into a proper do. It doesn’t take very long, but by the time she’s done Giyuu’s eyes are already dropping.

“Don’t fall asleep yet sweet boy, we have the rest of the afternoon still.” Mitsuri lifts him back up into her arms. He gladly nestles into them again, happier now after receiving a bit of pampering.

“Are you having a better day now baby?”

“Hmm… maybe.” It’s rare he even attempts a joke, she’s caught off guard for a moment. But after taking a moment to recover her hands poke at his sides.

“Nuh-uh, try it again or I’ll go home!”

“G-good! M’days good now!” He struggles to hold in happy little giggles as he admits the truth.

[amber-tortoiseshell]

Omg the research is absolutely amazing. My fav is Graystripe but maybe he’s too “boring” in this respect since he’s an OG (and literally is called what he looks like), but maybe you have some idea more detailed than “is gray and has stripes” or some interesting ideas about his kits

Or maybe bc it’s the other “dynasty” these mouse brains seem to care about, any of Tigerstar/Brambleclaw/Tawnypelt and their kin

(Also, very cool you’re reading them now! I read whatever had come out back when I was the target age group, but now I’m rereading them and I’m on the first of ASC)

Thanks 💚

Oh, there isn't any "boring" character here, I need to think through almost all of them, and Graystripe is definitely an interesting case.

Let's see! His canon description is "dark gray with a stripe of darker gray fur running down his back". This could be a strangely modified tabby, i've seen cats like that.

So for me Graystripe is a blue ticked tabby with unusually presenting tabby pattern, like this one:

This cat is black of course, imagine it as more desaturated grey 😆 Unfortunately i have no idea which tabby pattern can distort into something like this in real life, but i made Graystripe ticked so her daughter Briarlight can get the ticked allele and be brown. (As well as his grandson Pine.)

This is his family tree, i haven't got yet to his parents so only descendants:

Millie is a tortoiseshell (black silver tortoiseshell mackerel tabby), and Shellkit... well, i haven't decided yet, but he won't be tortie for me, i don't want too much male tortoiseshells, and Sol is my little edgelord dearie, so he gets the honor.

I'll show you the Tiger family too, but a little later, sorry, it needs a little cleaning up and adding the english names, and i should do my analysis homework first

[neon-moon-night]

I know it was posted a while ago, but I saw the swap au and found it really interesting. I’m curious about how events took place in the AU specifically why the sealing happened and also how the three of them came to be and becoming the way they are?

oh no i love getting questions about it!!

so this is me and @murderbot's AU and it has a LOOOOOT of headcanons behind it, so much of the swap is based on our interpretation of canon events. these are all also his ideas as we worked on it together!

i'll also give the disclaimer that some parts are better defined than others

gonna get super long (hence why this took so long to answer AAA) so a read more:

SO just gonna give an overview of the swaps:

hollow->ghost->hornet->hollow

radiance<-->grimm

loosely, the mosskin<-->the weavers

notably, the pale king and the white lady are NOT swapped, they remain in their canon roles. this was mostly because we didn't feel like we had any interest in swapping them with anyone but each other, but at the same time didn't think a swap between them would be very interesting. however we actually do have a 2nd swap AU where they ARE swapped, and the three siblings are swapped in ghost->hollow->hornet->ghost order instead, but that's neither here nor there...

there's a few more swaps but these are the ones relevant to your questions

re:your first question about the reason for the sealing...

so a very long time ago, grimm was the sedentary god of butterflies while the radiance was the migratory god of moths. one day the pale king showed up in hallownest, as in canon, and shed his form to live in what is now the city of tears

the way we see his initial settlement is that, the rainy caverns that became the city of tears were naturally rainy from being kept under blue lake. they didn't necessarily have a lot of people living there, bc it's bordered on one side by the mantises, on the other by the bees, and above by the moths (or butterflies, in swap) - all of which have wings for at least one part of their lifecycle. making somewhere with rain not very ideal!

so the pale king setting up shop there wasn't a problem yet. however, he was not a very good neighbor? as we see from the game, he isn't really the type to be satisfied with ruling as one among many...he wants to be without "blazing kin", "only one light shall shine against the dark", etc. and there's also a dev note talking about how the radiance was sealed once because the pale king did not want to rule with any equal, and then the seal with hollow was his second attempt when the first didn't work

anyway...so he has a plan to stop the rain in the city, bc we know it hadn't been raining during its peak. it was basically a dam project for the blue lake...which he did NOT talk to grimm or the butterflies about beforehand. the result was quite a lot of flooding in the lower section of the resting grounds - you know how it has a large gate separating it from the upper section? i figured that whole bit was almost completely submerged.

obviously no one is happy about this. grimm is irritated, goes to "negotiate" with the understanding that the new guy will be an untrustworthy weasel, but gets killed instead! his body is tossed away to rot, and the pale beings have one less obstacle to expanding their kingdom.

all of that so far is basically also my hc for what happened w the radiance in canon with no major changes so far in the broad strokes. NOW is where things diverge

when the radiance died, there wasn't very much she could do about it. when grimm died...he was able to make a deal.

that deal was w the nightmare heart, which we see as something of a separate entity? anyway he was actively dying, was given a deal to get both his physical body back as well as revenge on the kingdom, and well what do you know...

SO YEAH...instead of the infection (there was no external force there, it was more the radiance rotting) there's a parasitic plague instead, hence the infestation from the big doodle sheet i made. something burrows in people's hearts and they get these weird fleshy growths over their bodies...

NOW: the pale king is like ohhh that's kind of bad actually. and for similar reasons concocts the vessel plan...

some context from my interpretation of canon events: i always thought the reason pk needed herrah when there's a plethora of people loyal enough to become dreamers for free, is because the weavers' role was not limited TO herrah. in the hidden station, we see spools of silk that were presumably transferred from the deepnest station (because that would've had to have been built with their approval, when it's so much closer than the tram station they destroyed). there's also incomplete versions of seals in the weaver's den. basically it seems to me like the weavers were involved in weaving dream seals - both moths and spiders make silk, so that could be the connection? so he needed her because the seals could not have been made without her cooperation

anyway...i mentioned that the mosskin and weavers are very loosely swapped. i say "very loosely' because basically the main difference is now greenpath is a place where hallownest has little to no influence while deepnest is more thoroughly conquered. so...the deal is far more lopsided. hallownest could come in strength with demands, possibly in exchange for deepnest's continued independence, a la the deal with the mantis tribe. (in the wanderer's journal it says they made their treaty so their village could retain independent rule)

so the pale king has an extra demand: he wants to imbue some of the eggs with spider silk to produce ones that will be able to weave themselves, w the thought that a vessel that weaves its own bonds might be more effective...? but not all of them were made like that in case it altered the formula in some undesirable way.

thus: we get hornet and hollow

[picture to break this rant up a little]

hornet isn't really herrah's biological child here, but she's one of the vessels whose egg was imbued with silk. hollow was one that was not. she reaches the top first and walks off with the pale king without looking back. hollow falls.

so, hornet is raised as the sealed vessel...to me, duty is always a large part of her character, and that remains the case here too. in my own read of canon hollow, i would not describe them as "dutiful", per se...they are obedient and do what they are told, but the kingdom at large is abstract enough to them that it's not quite a motivating factor for them the way more direct approval from their father is

this is less true for hornet...she is aware she's a being made for a purpose, and in this world, she knows exactly what that purpose is. it is then a purpose she follows with all her heart...she is less self aware than hollow in canon, who knows they are not empty and vehemently denies it. i think hornet is a little better at lying to herself

i said she's no longer herrah's biological child, and that's still true, but it isn't that she had no interaction with herrah. here, herrah is the one who teaches her weaving, and so paradoxically this hornet has more interaction with herrah and more knowledge of weaving than my understanding of canon. herrah didn't have liberty to give her much affection, and hornet doesn't remember her well. but it is a connection that existed and that, to some extent, mattered

beyond this she was generally isolated in the palace and had little contact with anyone who was not a great knight or the king himself.

basically to summarize all this, swap hornet came to be the way she was as a combination of how i see ordinary hornet and how she might react if her life had been a bit more like hollow's. it's never been my preference for swap AUs to completely change a character's personality, but personality is shaped by environment too, so it's important to strike a balance there...

now for someone i haven't talked about much yet: little ghost

[another image to break this up...]

so, ghost...

i preserved herrah's connection to hornet, and just because ghost is in hornet's place doesn't make them a spider. they're instead the full, non-void child of the white lady and the pale king - my idea for why they were born is basically that, after the sacrifice of thousands of eggs and one empty child as their return for that, they decided to have a normal child as well

i think the best way i can sum up swap ghost is "people who willingly kill their own children will not be good parents under any circumstances"

to contrast with canon a bit, i'll talk abt my headcanons there - i see the white lady as having been the one who raised hornet, but she was also a very distant guardian to her. she never considered hornet her daughter, and while she never held a grudge for hornet's birth - i kinda think that, to her, herrah as a mortal is so beneath her it doesn't matter - the white lady was generally neglectful. like, to her hornet was a side project and an amusement, not a daughter.

by contrast, swap ghost is her full child and therefore she takes her parenting duties far more seriously in that regard. the issue is, she still isn't a very good parent! in canon she saw ghost as nothing more than a thing; she ordered them to take hollow's place and suffer eternally "for the good of the kingdom", and even saw hollow as having failed in their cruel duty.

here there's obviously no attempted infanticide against ghost, but she still sees them as someone who should be molded into what she wants out of them and not someone who is their own person. so even small things like ghost's personal preferences are not something they were really allowed to have.

but ghost is not really the type to accept that, so it didn't work out. they were rowdy and rebellious and ran away often, and as a result i feel like they were an embarrassment to the white lady and pale king, such that they weren't brought in public. so they're not as recognizable as you might expect a legitimate princet of the kingdom to be

to explain this doodle...

BASICALLY so. ghost and hornet did not interact with each other. the white lady had her own wing of the white palace when she was there, and hornet was kept in a secluded place as well such that the pure vessel not be "tainted". as a result, ghost saw her from a distance at her public appearances but otherwise did not interact with her

i said ghost was rowdy...they were not permitted in hornet's areas, but that didn't stop them from sneaking in and trying to meet the older sister they never knew. they found her going through nail drills alone in a room and hid to watch, not wanting to be caught. she completed her drills and then looked right at their hiding spot, and said, thoughtfully, "like a little ghost..." and left.

that's the in-universe explanation for ghost's name being ghost - they were given some other name by the white lady, but ghost is what they go by, because they're the first words they ever heard their sister say

to explain their estrangement...

i said they ran away often...they usually got brought back eventually by a royal guard, but this time was different. they went back and found the pale king had escaped into the dream realm without his problem child, and the white lady had left in kind.

they were still a teenager when this happened, and well: it felt very bad. but they also decided that this was for the best, and they had never liked them anyway, and they never liked this kingdom, and so they would just leave - and leave they did. they went to the howling cliffs and decided to find whatever awaited them in the wastes

mato found them before they could do that, and seeing that they were very young, very upset, and very likely to not make it, took them in as his pupil/child. so they're his dad now =) and they learned nail arts

swap ghost actually also knows some spells - they were taught by the white lady themself. but they don't like owing her anything and thus avoid magic as much as possible

and now, finally: hollow

hollow is the abandoned child...hornet did not look back for them, not out of malice, but because she only looked forward and only moved forward. she didn't stop and look back. so hollow fell.

like ghost in canon, they eventually made their way out of abyss, and left hallownest entirely before finally returning, for reasons they themself don't fully understand. they lost their arm out there, which is also why their cloak is ripped on that side; not much opportunity to change it

they're very lonely and, for lack of a better word, much "sweeter" than canon ghost is. canon ghost, much like a child, sometimes kills out of curiosity - they are the type of hunter to use a deadly spell if they cannot catch up with something (maskflies, menderbug), if only so they can learn from the remains. swap hollow is not like that, and actually my friend and i nicknamed them "swallow" - a portmanteau of swap hollow, and also a type of bird, because they like the little bird bugs.

they're also much more open and expressive than canon hollow is, as they've never had their emotions suppressed. they've never been nurtured either, but at the least, they don't possess the blank mask they do in another world. this is also in contrast to both canon & swap ghost, whose flat affect i see as more natural to them.

their journey is also much easier than ghost's because they run into, well, ghost. unlike canon hornet, swap ghost doesn't challenge hollow to a fight. canon hornet spent years and years alone stewing, but swap ghost is far better adjusted than her; an actual parental figure in mato helped with that

swap ghost instead told hollow they were their sibling, and offered for them to travel together

i tend to think of AUs for video games as alternate "games" themselves. a hypothetical game of this swap AU would not play much like hollow knight; it would be more comparable to an RPG with a party, consisting of hollow, ghost, and for a short period of time, grimmchild. (i haven't really said anything about them but. this is so long. so i'll leave them out)

anyway...hollow is overjoyed to have a sibling to interact with. to have a relatively easy time traveling hallownest, with an experienced fighter to essentially take care of them. for the first time in their life, they have company! and ghost is a kind older sibling to them

but...but...ghost isn't traveling with them for no reason

so i said they're estranged from their parents and any bond with them was severed when the pale king and white lady left. that doesn't mean they never spoke to the white lady again...

they eventually found her in her garden. and she, presumptuous as ever, did not say a word about how she had abandoned them; she simply gave her next command.

they were to take the king's brand and take responsibility for the kingdom, as its heir. then, they would find a vessel and they would escort it to the black egg temple, where they would cut the failure down and replace her.

(that's what this is, incidentally)

ghost...did not take kindly to this. insult upon insult, for her to ask something of them like this...they took the piece of shell engraved with the king's mark and tossed it into the sewers

but like. they don't have a better idea. they have no intention of doing this to hollow, so they're traveling with them trying to think of something else. and they do care about hollow, really, especially when they get to know them, and they get the experience of being a big sibling for the first time. but, well...i said they're more well-adjusted than canon hornet, but they're also less honest.

hollow absolutely does learn of this, and to say they're unhappy is an understatement. the two part ways for a time...

this is so long so i'll skip over the interim + how exactly they found out...suffice to say hollow cried a lot when they learned about it, as if happy times with their sibling had all been a lie. well, the two of them eventually reunite and ghost explains that they would never, ever do that. and then...

ghost tells hollow that they should just...leave

this is not hollow's responsibility and not something they deserve to give up their life and their freedom for. and ghost has been waffling, because they didn't know what to do, and they had no plan of their own, but that doesn't matter. they've made up their mind. they would leave everyone - even hornet - to rot before they ask hollow to die for them

the thing about ghost is that duty does not matter to them nearly as much as it does hornet. their family is far more important to them. perhaps this choice is them lapsing in their duty, but - that is a sacrifice they'll make.

i said before i see the AU as a game almost. this is where you could get one ending, where ghost and hollow (and grimmchild) all leave together and wander the world. hallownest is not the only kingdom out there - they will find others. and hallownest will rot and rot and rot, and hornet will not be free

but of course...i think hollow wouldn't want that. and they say no. and they find another way to free their sister, and right their father's wrongs.

OKAY THIS HAS TO END SOMEWHERE SO I GUESS IT'LL END HERE. IM SO SORRY FOR THIS WALL OF TEXT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ASKING ONCE AGAIN!!!!

11. What is your favorite uncommon kintype?

oh hmmm… honestly any bugkin guys are really cool especially the really fuckin. niche bugs. like let’s go weevils!! lets go fucked up beetles!!! sparklemuffin spiderkin raise your motherfucking hands!!

23. Do you like the blogs about clothing/fashion for kin?

okay complicated answer, yes and no. a lot of it is just pinterest fashion, usually nature/forest/fairy core, and it’s like the SAME stuff on nearly every post. that really fucking irks me. especially bc it’s just like neutral tone cozy clothes, and like. a wolf hat for a caninekin. when they put like RESEARCH into the climates/places/origins and colors and patterns of a kintype and make it so insanely specific to that kintype and not just the same pinterest clothes, THEN i dig it. it’s mostly just wolfkin cottagecore clothes though and i don’t think that’s necessarily original. at least from what i’ve seen, kin clothes blogs don’t come for me.

24. Do any certain music types appeal to your kin(s)? If so, what kind(s)?

yes GOD yes. i’ve talked about this a lot before. it’s gotten more messy as my kintypes evolved but i associate a lot of bear and caribous stuff (sometimes dogkin though i rarely feel dogfish these days) with folkpunk. right now i associate a large mix of stuff with my hound but especially heavy bass, slam drums, and a lot of blues rock. i wanna sit down and remake some playlist for my nonhuman identities and i’ll probably end up posting them here so stay tuned? i will say though, i associate “personal jesus” - depeche mode the most with my Hound rn though. mostly by the sound, though the lyrics a little too. i fucking love this question though because hound with music special interest goes insane.

47. Is/are your kintype(s) stereotypically “good” or “bad”?

well. hm. i’m not sure. my hound (again not really a kintype) is not an actual eh. animal? just more Me. the things i amalgamate together to represent the hound kinda form a neutrality i think? liked majestic creatures and omens of death get pretty neutral. though i think it probably means stereotypically “bad” when you counter in the vampire parrot. but also the bear and caribou are good. hm. you decide!

ty for these grim i loved answering these!!

Draw my lad Crowfrost?? I’m so unnecessarily attached to this random cat hsjfbfn

Was going to wait to draw this lad but then I made a sketch for fun and had to draw it. Also looked into his appearances and Crowfrost is actually so interesting??? Def a new favorite

-He’s based off a piping crow! Also gave him three feathers for his kits. I never knew he was the parent of Juniperclaw, Sleekwhisker, and Strikestone but I love that a lot for him

-From what I gleaned from his wiki I see him as a very loving and caring father but anxious. He also does what’s right no matter who thinks it’s against the code. Very moral and wise, quite good with his words which is where he got his suffix from

-Hc him as a trans tom using he/him and unlabeled tho leaning towards mollies. Dawnpelt (his mate) is trans fem using she/they

-I think losing Juniperclaw and Sleekwhisker during the kin hurt him a lot and he grasped desperately onto his last kit, then Strikestone died in battle. While he is dead now I wished he could’ve lived longer and more focus was put on him. Him alive during the current arc would be so interesting bc of the political mess ASC is so far

(ID- Crowfrost is a rounder sleek but spiky furred cat. He’s sitting to the left with his head turned to the right and tail up. His paws are crossed and his round frosty blue eye looking towards the camera. He is a blue gray with a darker gray down his back, tail base, back paws, ears, and face in a diamond mask. White is on his mane, front paws, toes, nose in a triangle shape, chin, under his eye in a talon like shape, and in his ears in wing like fluff. He has a unsure, shaded expression. Three crow feathers are on his shorter tail for his kits. The fur on his head is swept back, a lot of spiky fur on his chin, spiky eyebrow, on his neck, belly, back of his legs, and on his back in a wing like marking. In the top right corner is the color sheet with his fur colors, eye color, nose, feather, lineart colors, and the opacity of the color that shades his eye. On his shoulder is the faint signature “Nightly Ruse”. End ID)

3 and 12 for the fanfic ask thing!! and merry christmas if you celebrate sel <33

rina bb!! thanks for sending one in 🥺 thank you so much!! i hope you’ve been having great days too 🥺

#3 favorite line/scene you wrote this year

i alr answered this here but!! thinking of another one hmm… i think one of the scenes in col!! i always cycle through the parts i like from col—sometimes the ones i liked before become ones i’m not fond of now and vice versa 😭

atm tho!!! it’s probably the sparring scene from these traces of love, they outline you

Before you can even comprehend, your body is lifted across his back and lowered down to the grass below—the only thing in sight being two blue skies, beaming at you.

#12 favorite character to write about this year

megumi 🥺 i didn’t expect to enjoy writing him so much!! but words flow out so much easier when i write him 🥺 and i looove the situations i can put him in, the things i see him doing!!

he’s a lot of non-verbal affection/pining, which i love bc dialogue isn’t a strong suit of mine 🤧 (vs. gojo 🥲 who’s a lot more verbal and straightforward—tbh i think my take on gojo’s alr pushing it sometimes aksnskxn bc he’s a lot less forward when i write him 🤧 & i struggle a lot with feeling like it’s too cheesy when i write him… but i guess… he is obnoxiously sweet sometimes)

and i still have to write more, but it’s been fun writing suguru! idk if i’ll do a full piece for him but the blurbs have been enjoyable 🥹 a lot less friction than when i write gojo 😭 maybe cos i’m a sugu kin LOL

send me a number from this end of the year fanfic writer ask game!!

[prettyboykatsuki]

i’m so embarrassing about gojo like it’s cool n funny to hate on him but i do think the world of him and he means the world to me n that blue haired jjk girl was so real because i too would jump at the chnace to take a picture with him ik he’s attracted to the ppl who don’t think much of his name n status n just see him for him but i literally just stand there n be like omg it’s gojo🧍🏻‍♀️

[rinnntastic]

hey!! can i have a match-up with someone from jujutsu kaisen? i really like your work. thank you!

gender: i’m a girl, she/her pronouns

gender preference: guys

mbti: ISFP

personality: i come across as chill and easygoing to strangers/people who don’t know me, but with people i know i’m more talkative, warm, and i laugh a lot! i love humor and joking around with others. i have a liking for art too! i have a bunch of interests that i enjoy discussing about. i don’t struggle with talking to strangers, but it can get a little awkward ! i’d say i’m pretty sensitive and emotional, and have low self-esteem. however, that leads to me being pretty in tune with my emotions and also others. it’s also easy for me to get moody and irritated. i also think i tend to worry/overthink a lot lol. it’s hard for me to express love through words, so i usually do so through actions! i like to have fun and have stability in my life, if that makes sense lol. despite this, i keep some things to myself. 

when i have a crush (quite often tbh,, :’), i tend to get really excited and gushy and kinda unpredictable…i read this passage from @/mbti-notes on tumblr and think that this perfectly encapsulates it: “their feelings ebb and flow…[isfps] look for opportunities to be alone with you, smile at you more warmly, giggle at your jokes, take more interest in you, compliment you, ask you detailed questions about your life, try to extend conversations, etc. These ISFPs can appear more assertive but their confidence actually stems from nervous impulsivity.” i can also send mixed signals bc i freak out easily if something goes “wrong” (#overthinker 😍)

my giving love language is acts of service, and receiving i think is words of affirmation and quality time (maybe acts of service too idk ahhh)

kin(s): i don’t really have any but maybe maki kuwana from blue period? i don’t know if she’s EXACTLY like me but we share a few things in common !

likes: art!!, manga, junk food, hanging out with friends, winter, video games (pokemon, undertale, animal crossing), citylife

dislikes: bugs, science, extreme heat, annoying ppl

hopefully this wasn’t too long to read but enough : ‘ )  if it was i’m sorry,, thank you so much!!!

A/N: ok what you said about crushes is SO REAL (I’m an isfp too hehe) I’m literally the same way

For Jujutsu Kaisen I match you with…

Inumaki Toge!

- Inumaki is similar to you in the way he appears chill at first, but when he begins to feel comfortable around you, he is always joking around! The two of you would be a dynamic duo for sure and laughter can always be heard whenever you two are around

- Inumaki also has difficulties expressing his emotions through words (I wonder why LMAO) so he shows his love through acts of service like gift giving, cooking for you and helping you with tasks!

- The two of you spend time hanging out inside watching mangas and eating snacks, and you run around each other’s islands on animal crossing!

[okkotsuus]

POOKIE i am v curious WHO DO U KIN

makes sense bc i am constantly fearing failure and i have some issues with my brother bc of my mom😫‼️

personally i feel like i’m reo or a watered-down shidou internally looking at myself…

reo bc the people i love the most always leave me for someone better usually who they met through me and shidou bc when i mask my anxiety i lowk act like him and i have anger issues and a superiority complex and a little bit of a god complex <3

ironically enough my ego is below sea level idk how it works either but somehow it does

thank you for letting me infodumo schnookums

who do you kin 🫵👁️👁️

[hamtigers]

(I’m literally about the leave for work so I don’t have time to fill this out for everyone, so I’ll edit this post later!!!)

Kalith: Grew up with just her mother, so has a very strong attachment to her despite the occasional sass. She’s fiercely protective of her, to the point where it can actually cause problems. She resents the fact that her father wasn’t there, and is the root of a lot of her trust issues. Because of this she despised him; or at least the idea she had in her head of him. She never knew anything beyond what her mother spoke of. Post-SHB, when they met by chance, she got the rest of the truth that couldn’t be sent in letters. She still has difficulty trusting him, and has been struggling to unlearn her aggression towards him, so she mostly just avoids him while she tries to sort out her own issues because in the end she wants her mother to be happy. But if he vanishes again she has told him she will find him and kill him herself.

Izumi: Izumi got along with her parents and loved them greatly, but her restless adventurer spirit left her unwilling to be trapped in her undersea home, even knowing she wouldn't be able to return. It was a bittersweet reunion for her and her father when he suddenly showed up at the front door, since it also meant learning that the rest of her family were dead due to a disaster that struck their home village. She wishes she never had to choose between her family and her desire to travel, but knows she can't undo the past.

She also is treated as family by the blue kojin and views them as one in kind, as when she first left her home she stayed and traveled with them for an extended time so that she could learn more of the world and some basic skills to defend herself before she fully struck out on her own.

Draelkiith: He was separated from his biological parents at a very young age, to the point where he only has the haziest of memories here and there. To this day, he's still not entirely sure if they died, abandoned him, or were forcefully separated, but he doesn't really let it get to him. He had a mentor - a Sharlayan that followed the ideals of Louisoix and came to Eorzea to help - that practically adopted him. he views her as his mother and looked up to her greatly. He hasn't been able to find the woman since he struck out on his own as an adventurer, and hates the lack of closure in not knowing whether she is even still alive.

S'amir: Samir is from a tribal seeker of the sun clan. Due to the nature of the Nunh/Tia hierarchy, he was never personally close with his father. He isn't super close with his birth mother either, the whole tribe essentially raised together cooperatively, so as far as he was concerned he just had A Lot Of Moms. Despite his refusal to live as part of the tribe anymore, he still cares about them as one would family, but being an adventurer has opened his worldview and erased any sense of clan competition from his mindset. If he meets another miqo, regardless of tribe, and even if they are a keeper of the moon, he will treat them as kin to be friendly with. It's certainly caused some strange scenarios, but made him very friendly and approachable. (WoL Samir never fantasias into a Viera either, but it causes bonus fun for normal RP Samir in my mind, bc it means you suddenly have a Viera acting like every Miqo'te they meet is family)

Iekka: I'm not going to lie, because we don't have much info on Veena culture, I'm not entirely sure how her family structure would have been. We know Rava follow the original structure for Viera of the men becoming the protectors of the wood and only return during mating season, but last I knew we genuinely have no idea if this is the case for Veena.

She would have had a standard upbringing in her chilly mountain home, and been at least closer to her mother than her father. She leaves as an adult for her studies while also becoming an adventurer, but is surprised to not find herself homesick. Being away from home made her realize she actually had a fairly neutral outlook - she liked her parents well enough and had no problems with them and does occasionally return to visit, since Veena do not exile those that leave.

Kohaku: They have no memories of their birth parents, but they hold a great affection for their adoptive father, and is one of the few things they allow themselves fond nostalgia over. They were found in the nearby forest at a young age by him, and the hyur shinobi took the sudden appearance of this child with hair as red as the autumn forest as a gift from the kami and chose to raise Kohaku as his own. Of course, Kohaku would long outlive their Hyur father, but they have a lot they know they have him to thank for.

S'seral: Seral hails from the same tribe as Samir, but has a very, very different relationship with the tribe than his 'older brother' does. For one, the Nunh barely acknowledged Seral as part of the tribe at all, as his black fur marked that he was born from his mother having a tryst with an outsider. He and his mother were both looked down on by most of the rest of the tribe, leading him to be very attached to only her. He has a burning hatred for both their Nunh and his mystery father whom he still hasn't met.

He seeks power not to try and become Nunh, but rather because he wants to prove that his mother didnt "sully the strength of the tribe".

What is your WoL's relationship like with their parents, if any, if they remember them?

[mighwnt]

hey for the warrior cats headcanon post what do u think abt ashfur 😊

hiii ty for asking <3

sexuality headcanon: straight lol

gender/pronouns headcanon: i can only see him as a cis guy, but a cis guy who uses he/they

rate them out of ten: 8.5/10! i do really like him and his drama, he’s fun to hate and i like the plots surrounding him.

favorite thing about them: the absolute drama of it all. like, he’s such an incel but he has the dramatic flair to make him compelling, which is the opposite of bumblestripe, who’s a typical “nice guy” but has none of the charisma

least favorite thing about them: i wish they had explored his connection to his siblings/his jealousy of them more. i see that a lot in fan interpretations and i really like it!

why i first started liking/disliking them: so i read po3 before the other books as a kid, so i was predisposed to hate him since i never saw him grow up/his “romance” with squilf. but all of the amazing maps and amvs and everything…. mr brightside was FORMATIVE

do i relate/project onto/kin them? not at all

favorite quote/moment: his bit about his heart bleeding onto the stones and no one can see… so fucking emo. and the fire scene as a whole ofc

my fav ship: scourge x ashfur 4 lyfe

my fav platonic friendship: i really like his friendship with his siblings… i wish we had more of it. i also like the idea of him and spiderleg being friends, two men’s rights activist redditors

a ship i hate: squirrelash for obvious reasons lol

do i prefer canon or fanon? um. i dislike a lot of what canon does with him (putting him in starclan bc he loved too much) but i also dislike a lot of what fanon does with him, esp the people out there who are still woobifying him. so i suppose i’m a fan of my personal interpretation :)

random headcanon: he gets seasonal allergies during newleaf and has a weak immune system in general. he spends a lot of time being sniffly and a bit miserable.

what color do i picture them as: grey! he’s a blue spotted tabby with very low white

cat breed headcanon: i don’t like doing breed headcanons for most warriors. i can see him having a little oriental or devon rex in him though. curly furred ash is really nice.

unpopular opinion: i don’t think his character before his “snap” was really that much of a great/interesting guy. he was just another bg cat… male version of ferncloud really, everything you want him to angst about, she can also do, but the fandom was spending way too much time being misogynistic to deal with that lol

things i associate with them: thunderstorms, ash trees, orange, broken hearts, eye bags, emo hair, eyeshadow, black nail polish

song i associate with them: gossamer by fashion jackson and oh yeah? you gonna cry by lovejoy

favorite MAP/PMV/AMV with them: DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD A QUESTION THIS IS???? i think i have to say mr. brightside… but there’s so many good ones

[monstersanonymous]

i was bored so here are the gangseys post it notes
