Half baked reference drawings without references are fun because I entirely forgot what ward looks like and Zarra doesn't have a fucjing reference. Not even an irl comparison I have NOTHING but 5'4 and Bob with blue streaks to my 6'9 big guy

third year summer scenario i cant stop thinking about

sirius who spends his first summer properly at the potters for the first time gets exposed to James’ latino culture on full blast 24/7

sirius who starts to learn things, more so by proximity than actually trying to

learns what spices effie likes to add, what songs james plays around the house when he helps clean, that the pots and pans go in the oven(??? he wont question it) and that you save the plastic grocery bags under the sink

BUT sirius who after just one summer is very much a beginner in this new world of culture, and god james yk i cant understand spanish yet

sirius who feels guilty he isnt doing more to actively learn and connect with james’ culture but is so lost on where to start

sirius who heard effie call james mijo every day consistently until one day she calls him Jaime

not james, jaime

…

james what the fuck was that?

what?

your mom?? she called you- what did she call you?

my name? jaime?? yk, james in spanish?

…. so your name is jaime?

yeah? i mean it’s also jam-

AM I RACIST??

cue the panic of oh my god im just like my family omg am i colonizing you?? is it offensive james- fuck jaime im so fuckingsorryinevermeanttobe-

to which james would spend 30 minutes reassuring him its fine and he goes by both names and its absolutely no big deal and no padfoot you arent racist

and it is fine… until they go to sleep and sirius decides he needs to do better so he stays up all night determined he will learn spanish in one night

well, “learn” is a loose term, charm and spell his way to spanish

except, fucking wizards havent made a spell for this yet?? what??? fine I’ll make my own

sirius who, the morning after sits at breakfast tight lipped because oh he fucked up

and james asks whats wrong and sirius refuses to say a word for hours until eventually james gets sick of whatever is going on and tickles sirius to get him to talk

and sirius opens his mouth to tell james to stop, only for there to be absolute silence following, and then

laughter

james is on the floor crying. effie is bent over trying not to laugh too. through the door to the kitchen you can hear fleamont make no such attempt to hold his in

because sirius got the spell right, he can now speak spanish. the issue? he only charmed his voice to know grammar and vocabulary, he still has his accent

the OTHER issue? he can ONLY speak spanish

so sirius now sounds like a “no sabo, donde esta la biblioteca?” kid with his posh accent and shit pronunciation

james has a good 20 minutes of rolling around on the ground while sirius explains in aWfUl spanish what he did last night before james gets up to help undo the damage lest he bursts a lung from laughing

except, sirius MADE the spell, so undoing it is tricky. there’s no counter charm yet given sirius didnt come up with one and now he cant speak latin even to cast anything

after hours james has gotten nowhere, and effie refuses to help because its funny its not like its causing anyone harm so there’s no rush

so james thinks, what if instead of a counter curse he just makes another spell all together? one to fix sirius’ pronunciation. he’d be speaking spanish but at least they could take him siriusly seriously

long story short its been hours. he’s been switching back and forth between a counter curse and trying the new pronunciation spell and, well, his brain sorta starts mixing both

so at 4am one fine summer monday, james’ wand casts a light as it works its magic on a half asleep sirius, both of them freeze and stare at each other because oh merlin did they do it?

and sirius opens his mouth and- out comes english

FINALLY, ENGLISH

…

…in a tHick colombian accent

okay so maybe james forgot he didnt need to fix his spanish pronunciation if he was making him speak english again

so now sirius just sounds like he’s mocking james’ accent

all of this to respect james’ culture and now he sounded aCtUaLlY racist?? kill him

can you make headcanons for all the tadc cast with a reckless reader?

also, have a good day :)

-daz

TADC cast x reckless! reader!

last post for this batch! ill get right back to answering stuff soon! my cinnamon roll dough is almost done with its first rise and ill have to shape them soon! also gotta make the frosting..! short post since the base of one of my thumbs is getting a lil sore idk if its because ive been typing so much these past few days or if i just slept on my hand wrong; maybe both

CAINE:

youre in luck reader! you cant really get hurt in the digital world...! well, not... traditionally.. you can definitely still feel pain, thats for sure, but i dont think your digital body has any bones to break or skin to scrape..! so hey at least you can kind of be as reckless as you want without consequence...! except, there are consequences. caine is not at all happy at your recklessness.. i mean sure yeah some of his IHAs can be more... intense, i mean zooble almost got turned into a gloink, but..! i think he tones down his adventures just so you wont throw yourself into the danger

POMNI:

tries to stop you but her words fall short as you run in yelling into whatever the threat is without a second thought. "i- wait- er..." and youre gone, leaving pomni to hurry and try to catch up with you. she probably has to drag you to safety, assuming this isnt a case where you got all glitched up by an abstracted circus member.. shes gonna have to work herself up to get you to chill out; perhaps ending in a whole emotional thing where she just. explodes? perhaps

RAGATHA:

just because you cant get hurt doesnt mean shes not going to fuss over you. if there were a need for it i think she would keep a pack of Band-Aids on her. however, because you guys cant get hurt in that way, she tries to keep you in bed when you inevitably get knocked a little too hard and need to rest it off. dont even think about trying to get up out of bed, shes going to give you this stern look that only a few percentage of people can muster.

you know the look

the stern one

scolds you too if you get caught up in something real dangerous

only really softens up if you threw yourself in danger for the sake of another person, because i think ragatha would do the same

JAX:

"bet you cant make that jump"

"bet i <> can!"

que you absolutely eating shit after you fail to make that jump, comically flipping over yourself and face planting. you probably have cartoon birds circling around your head. jax laughs at you before eventually coming over to help you up. he will not let you live this kind of stuff, down

KINGER:

he gets so so scared when youre not in his sight, i think if he knew you were willingly throwing yourself into harms way? this man would have a heart attack! like really, or he would if he still had his organs and stuff...if he could he would keep you in his pillow fort with him forever... but he cant, so he has to settle with following you around with meek attempts to try to stop you

ZOOBLE:

zooble would do similar stuff as jax, but when you actually. go to do the dangerous thing they just pull you back. "dude. i wasnt being serious"

bro has to keep you on one of those kid leashes because your first instinct someone says "bet" or "no balls" or anything in that vein, you need to prove yourself

GANGLE:

her comedy mask probably falls off from the sheer shock from how easily you just. launch yourself into things. on one hand she worries for you, but on the other hand she cant help but feel a little jealous; i mean shes just ribbon and a mask, shes not really... tough... strong.. durable... she wants to be able to run around and do the things you do but theres that fear of being immediately broken down or overpowered, you know? didnt mean to get silly there; anyways i think she would try to keep in you bed to sleep off the soreness, like ragatha

fantasys your alkaloid‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️ ‼️  ref sheet of alkaloid for my alkakurei fantasy au that i totally didnt abandon crazy:B here (notes abt world+magic system and other stuff on that post)

stuff abt their outfits and etc under read more

hiiro is fresh from his village baby boy left to go find his nii-san with only his clothes and a trusty satchel at his side- he just goes around looking for his nii-san and etcetc idk how long the gap is but he finds tatsumi and mayo and stays with them for some time and during that time tatsun gets him a coat because baby boy literally only has those and hes just been doing work for some guild (idk how to explain bc guilds require education but i guess tatsun pulled strings for him) so he has money to live while also looking for his nii-san and sometimes he has to go to cold places and one time he comes home after a job in a cold place and hes sick and tatsun is like hiiro-san please take this jacket with you :..) so now hiiro has a coat custom-made for him :3! he's good with elemental magic (the 5 core elements water wind fire earth plant) very versatile and a skilled little guy (not as talented as his nii-san but no one is as talented as nii-san!) anyways yadda yadda he gets a message or smth and is preparing to leave tatsun and mayo but (spoilers for meru fic) meru points him towards the town where everyone else is and yea he goes and finds his nii-san and now his goal has changed from find nii-san to convince nii-san to go back home but he befriends everyone else too and i think they do eventually go on some kind of adventure together maybe more the three younger ppl aira hiiro and kohaku

aira is a little silly fellow he dresses nicely (very inspired by fs2 but i cant stop looking at it and thinking damn he french colored......) and loves magic so much he admires all the grand mages and everyone in the upper echelons and loves watching other people cast spells and such unfortunately for him while he has a decently high innate talent, his control is God Awful which results in magic never going well for him- with no control at all, literally negative control, he can try to cast one spell and something completely different will be cast instead- and the skill level varies too it's literally just a roll of a dice for him if he tries to cast a simple flame spell he might end up flooding the room with a wall of water, it's that bad kkshfkj also he acts like he doesn't like it but he actually loves rabuhan-junior so much he secretly spoils the hamster named after him and rabuhan junior loves him back rabuhan-junior likes to sleep in his hat or on aira's head whenever kohaku goes out and leaves rabu-han junior with aira tatsun has very normal clothes bro dresses like a dad (did you know both of his fs have the same color palettes i didnt but using them as reference made me realize, anyways-) his clothes are very comfortable and easy to move around in, especially given his injury from [spoiler event here ]. he also has a cane and his injured leg has pain suppressor sigils and bandages wrapped all over it his leg isn't completely unusable like its not broken or anything its more like. a kind of necrosis like if you unwrapped it there would be a dark mark thats like icky and sometimes it flares up and hurts tatsun so much that he falls over and :( he found the cane one day in the catacomb (wonder who put it there) he added the begonia himself as a reminder of his sin... shiro is his little mouse familiar that he conjured with the help of kaname! she's a sweet little thing, often found sleeping on an open book on tatsumi's desk. she has the tatsumi-colored ears and legs because she was conjured up rather than a pact familiar. regarding magic tatsun is pretty average on both control and power, but that doesnt really matter because most of the spells he uses are passive spells more used for healing/doing work. he likes to garden and has a beautiful garden of all kinds of flowers at the chapel :) he just doesn't dare touch the flowers in the catacomb, because he knows someone else already takes care of those also that purple gem hanging around his neck is a gift from mayomayo it doesn't do anything and has no magic but tatsun still likes it :) mayomayo dresses in all dark colors because he believes that if he always dresses in dark colors no one will ever have to be bothered by seeing his existence he comes from a lineage that practices forbidden magic, not necessarily all dark but some of the more ... interesting spells . something happens in his past and he ends up leaving, taking with him his tome and well. proceeding to get chased by all kinds of monsters out in the wild because for some reason he just attracts all kinds of beasts poor guy magic-wise he does have the forbidden magic from his family but he more specializes in healing and curse removal- he doesn't dare do anything else for fear of (redacted). besides, maybe he'll one day be able to actually save somebody instead of hurting them, maybe his existence would be worth it some day. the ribbon in his hair (the green/teal one) is from tatsun :) he said mayo would look good in brighter colors and mayo disagreed so tatsun gave it to him and now its become part of his outfit and (i combust into a thousand bits ) also because of that mayo feels like he has to give tatsun something back so thats why he gives tatsumi a purple gem he had that used to hang from his spell tome anyways i still love this au very much and i hope you enjoyed now i will proceed to forget about it again /j i still really wanna write kohaku's fic and then maybe one last one for rinne-kun or smth because aghghj there's still so much that's not developed yet but (explodes)

CW: Physical Abuse, Victim Blaming

Detective Luffy and Client!Law who didnt so much as ask for help, as Luffy saw him during another case.

Law was being bothered by police to answer questions while getting ready to leave the hospital, one black eye, a broken arm and a bone deep exhaustion.

Luffy, drop out of any organized civil servant job, always running around low sleep high energy, sees that Law is trying to get away, curious he gets closer. Hears some of the bullshit the man bothering Law is saying, something about how if he doesnt come forward about the DQ family, that Law deserves what happened to him.

That's about as far as Luffy listens, brings his fist back and hits the man square in the nose, breaking it. Then before Law can say anything, takes him by the hand and runs out of there. Not interested in dealing with the consequences, and clocking that Law wants to just get out of there.

They stop a block away when Law wrenches his hand out. "I didnt need your fucking help" he snaps, followed by "Who are you?"

Luffy introduces himself in usual Luffy fashion, and asks Law if he wants his help with whoever hurt him, brushing his hand over the bruise. Which ofc only gets Law to freak out more. He shakes his head, takes a deep steadying breath, thanks Luffy for the help and says to leave him alone, and that he is doing just fine.

Luffy doesnt buy it, and lets Law get a distance away before tailing him, determined to make sure he atleast gets home safe. Law is on enough painkillers and tired, that he doesnt notice Luffy or anyone else following him.

There is someone, Luffy beats the shit out of them. Which gets Law in even more hot water then before.

Luffy watches until he is sure that Law is going to be fine and he gets hungry before absconding back to his agency office, where he tells his crew whats up.

They are all for it but not happy that its another client that doesnt want to do shit with them. Nami is the least happy about it as they are for sure not getting paid, and if anything will have to be the ones to pay. Though its only surface complaining, as she is not leaving anyone that is in an abusive situation.

Any client that Luffy brings always has it rough.

So they stick their nose into Doflamingo's business, something he very much does not like, and quickly traces it back to the situation in the hospital. Takes it out on Law and sends him to solve this little problem, and if he doesnt then he is the one who is going to get a not so quick death

Law shows up at the agency even worse for wear then before, his arm that should have started healing is even worse, just one long black and blue bruise under the bandages, that are tight above the cast and he is limping. Despite that he has the determination and spirit to yell at them to get out of his life.

Luffy tilts his head. "Dont you want to take Doffy down?"

"Yeah, but thats not your fucking problem!" He stands tall, looking down at Luffy who is sitting on the desk with no conern what so ever "I will deal with him my own way"

"And how is that working out for you?"

This makes Law hesitate, because it is not working. He has been plotting his revenge for atleasy thirteen years, and all he has to show for it is broken bones and a battered body, plus a tired mind. He shakes his head "Nobody asked---"

"Wrong" Luffy interrupts, jumping to his feet. "Plenty of people want to take Doffy down" He sways on his feet. "You're cool and fun Traffy, but you're not special in wanting revenge on him"

Which makes Law bristle even more, because Luffy is right and has a point. He deflates because those words said outloud hurt, gets that empty gaze of 'i dont matter'

Then Luffy panics "i didnt mean you're not special in that way! Just ugh--"

Law takes another deep breath. "Its fine, do what you want, just dont get me killed" He goes to leave. "Or do, whatever" He is not getting anywhere, talking to these people

"Wait, stay here! I didnt mean it like that!"

He gets a smack from one of his crew for his smooth talking. (Vivi probably) And she goes of to talk to Law.

Luffy pouts. He is right, but like he thinks Law is special, just in a different way. He was so focused on the fight, he fumbled xd.

He tells his crew that he is going to go take out Doffy before he can hurt Law again. He didnt like that empty look in those golden eyes one bit. They dont try to talk him out of it.

There is alot of drama from this point. Luffy gets hurt that he has to be in the hospital for a few hours, but him giving up is not in the cards. He goes back again a few more times, being an absolute nuisance to Doflamingo's operations until the man show himself and stops hiding behind the scenes.

Law is better by that point and refuses to stay out of the fight. He let the strawhats distract him for too long.

The fight is long and shuts down a few city blocks, an all out gang war kind of deal. Dressrosa style, maybe some underground tournement that Luffy would end up fighting through

Luffy ofc wins in the end.

Law doesnt quit the life he had to be in, but takes over the family over Doffy, and uses it to help people that have been hurt.

And also he has a detective boyfriend :3

[sannylity]

thinking about the president of the qsmp and head maid slimeriana au. imagine them being so fucking fruity and hidden and its hotttt. charlie is bubbly and silly but he gets pretty tired out and stressed from work. he falls asleep at his desk sometimes and mariana- not being as strong as him- will usually put a pillow under his head or drape a soft blanket over him. he didnt know why he always woke up comfortable and cared for if he passed out on his paperwork for a while.

charlies the first president of the country to not be in a romantic relationship (dating, engaged, married) when he is sworn into office. he won because of his strong morals and caring for everyone, along with his general charm that could (unintentionally) get laughs and swoons out of people.

mariana was originally from a not well-off family, leading her to hiding his identity as a transfem individual. to help them out he became a private maid for some very wealthy peoples, gaining a bit of a reputation. she got hired by the qsmp to be a maid for them and so he worked for the last president, and stayed for the next- and charlie came along.

the thought of her going into his room to "clean it" and charlie walks in when marianas been in there for five minutes. they snicker and the curtains are drawn, locking the door and pushing the maid onto the bed. you know. they do slimeriana stuff. then i imagine them lying there together, charlies head on her chest.

they have a talk about leaving together, about running away, about going where nobody can find them. but they decide against it. charlie would drop it all for mariana, he'd cast aside life for her. but mariana wont let him- he knows the qsmp is pretty fucked up from the last few presidents, and she knows charlies the best guy to fix it.

but you know once his term(s) end they leave together for cancun and adopt a trans girl and live together happily in comfort :3

- 💫 

Yes! Hello again 💫anon! I like your ideas as per usual <3 and yes, this AU is written to be either heavily suggestive or may even include smut.

Their relationship would revolve around a secret arrangement, strictly very physical. At first. Maybe Charlie has been pent up and stressed over being the president and nothing has been working to keep him in check. Maybe Mariana lacked some adventure in her life since her life’s been on schedule to clean up and prepare for someone more important, so she seeks the thrill of going off course.

And maybe they could give each other what they want. Charlie has an outlet for his stresses and frustrations while Mariana for once feels a thrill in her life, even if it’s being a dirty little secret.

It was bound to be hot and magnetic and there’s so much tension with so very limited time and even less places to be alone together. Their lack of opportunities is almost something that drives them to be more reckless.

The first few times were in public. A door, a wall or a window away from being found out, on the president’s desk, under it, in the conference room, a supply closet. They lacked the caution to be careful until they almost got caught.

That’s when they decided that lessons were learned.

Which they didn’t think that having to be careful amounts to putting themselves in more intimate positions. In the president’s bedroom, even on Mariana’s bed, his balcony, his bathroom. There’s a shift in how they handle each other. Much softer and more delicate.

They know things have changed when they stay on each other’s beds. They know something’s different when Charlie starts drawing his memorized speeches on his maid’s skin, while Mariana lulls the president to sleep with Spanish love songs.

I can imagine them acknowledging that their happiness is pocket-sized and limited. That’s why they can only daydream what could’ve been if Charlie isn’t the president and Mariana isn’t his maid. Their what ifs were mostly lighthearted and unserious.

Until Charlie can’t imagine being married to anyone else but Mariana, while Mariana can’t imagine starting a family when it doesn’t involve Charlie. But it’s all impossible while they’re enclosed with responsibilities that keep them apart.

In my head, I imagine Charlie would willingly go through a resignation and to put Mariana’s worries to rest of not having a good president running the office, Charlie would make sure his vice president is capable and ready.

With his resignation gaining obvious public attention of reporters and people asking questions and making rumors, Charlie would keep Mariana safe by moving him as far away from the palace and making him work someplace else.

“Just until things calm down. Until things settle and then we can do whatever we want. We can go to Cancun. We could get married and start a family!”

Those words would keep Mariana going, even if it would take years and years. He fiddles with the ring clasped around his neck, hoping that one day Charlie will come back for him and they could fulfill all their wishes and love each other freely and openly.

[pbandjesse]

Today started kind of terrible but has ended really nicely. I feel so much better then I did. Like it's not perfect but I am feeling really good. Sleepy but good.

I really struggled to fall asleep. I was just uncomfortable and struggling. I didn't want to go to camp. The world is to hot and everything is hard. But I would sleep. And it wasn't enough but it wasn't bad.

I woke up at 7 but I wished I didnt have to. James was sitting in the chair and I was happy to see them. They would make the bed while I went and got dressed. I wouldn't stay in my original planned outfit because I checked the weather and it was going to be 98 degrees again. And I was so sad about that. I miss being comfortable. This heat wave has to stop. It's going to kill someone.

James would send me off to work. They had moved my materials into the car already. And I would have a nice drive in.

When I got to camp it was already to hot. I would set up and was excited to doing print making. It would have some hiccups. But it was a good day still.

I was not in a good head space though. I was trying to find some positivity but it was hard. I have been feeling very unwanted. Which is very hard. I would wander up to the office heat up my leftovers for breakfast. And ate that at my desk. It was funny to see how many people see putting their laptops on my desk. I asked Mirren about it and apparently the presence of my laptop makes everyone else feel like its safe. So my laptop is taking care of all the other laptops emotionally.

I went to arts to go on my hammock. And eventually went to work on the head horse I had James print for me. It needs like 8 feet of string!! I am not even done it get but I'm getting close.

While I was working on that someone knocked on the door frame and it was Jorge!! My favorite Jorge! He gave me a big hug and it was so nice to have him back. He was disappointed stockade isn't with me until Thursday but I am excited that he cares enough about that. What a sweetheart.

I was texting James about the morning. My upset belly. The heat. That Jorge was back. They were doing a very long bike ride but would text me back soon enough.

The morning would get better. Printing with the boys went well. Only one injury. One group was a little tough with being physical and hurty with each other and their art. I was nervous with the carving tools. But thankfully they were mainly fine.

The one boy who did stab himself was a little panicked. But I was very calm and we washed it and squeezed it and it wasn't even bleeding anymore by the time I was putting a bandaid on it. I joked "you didn't trust me it would be okay??" And he was like "no!!" And it was very funny.

Lunch wasn't great. I got a little emotional when Callie said she wasn't mad at me and seemed genuinely confused and concerned when I said I have been feeling like no one likes me or wants me around. And she, and everyone else at the table, was very sweet. I don't know why I am feeling that so strongly but it's been hard emotionally.

I would bounce and went to chat with Nurse Becky about the project just in case I have mire injuries. I promised to keep it to a minimum but no promises there won't be injuries.

The afternoon flew by. I had a tipi boy helping me with projects. And my day camp groups were so cute. Day camp one was my favorite. Even if there was one little girl who would not stop using whining voice. Even after explaining I cannot help her if I don't know what she wants and I won't go in circles with you. They were still very good kids.

Everyone was very excited I got another hammock. I found it last night in my studio and I'm thrilled because now I have 5!

Bontkirchen was last. And we would do some print making and some metal casting. The sand casting did not work and I'm really annoyed about it. But the cuttlefish did, with some practice. It was a mess at first but I figured it out. And we made some fun stuff.

I was glad to be done for the day. I would pack myself up and headed to Home Depot.

Our house has been so hot. Even in the ac its in the high 70s. 78 and 79. And in the none ac its 86-89 degrees!! Inside my house!!

So I went and spent $250 on a nice window unit. The man that worked there talked to me about different options and I felt good about what I got. I also got some decor for the archway under the fake transom. I was excited.

When I got home James would come outside to help carry the ac unit in.

And we would work towards installing it. But this did not go well. We were both dripping sweat. And frustrated that out safety bars won't come off our living room so we couldn't put the unit in so then we tried the front room/studio and it didn't fit. And wasn't right. And we were so upset.

James would calm down and I decided we should move the tube ac unit to the living room and the box upstairs. And it took James a lot of work but they did it sd. Almost immediately things improved.

It is not cold but it's so much more comfortable. We are down to 79 in the living room and 70 in the bedroom I am very happy that we can a really sit in the living room again.

James made me a baked potato for dinner before they went to so their podcast. And I would spend some time adding more weather proofing to the ACs. And then cleaning the kitchen counters and the stove top. I hung the arch decor (curlies). I hung the match book holder Jess just gave me. And put all the canned food in the basement. Felt really productive.

I went to go through all of my shoes. 49 pairs. I know there are more at camp. I was really embarrassed. I would put 19 in a box to get rid of but man that was hard. I don't know why I struggle with this so much.

That would take a while but I felt good at the end. I put away most of them and put the current rotation downstairs.

I went and took a bath. Washed my hair and conditioned.jt really good. I ran out of face scrub, body wash, and conditioner by the end. I need a good target run soon. But it was a very nice bath and the water cooled down the room and I felt s lot better. Plus the new AC is doing great!!

James would finish their podcast and came to get me so we could go to Wawa. And I was super excited. We went to a different Wawa and I got a sandwich for tonight and tomorrow's lunch? I was in a great mood and just being silly with James and am feeling so happy with my love.

We got home and ate here. Sweetp was being real cute and it actually felt like a normal temperature and I was so thrilled.

We have been hanging out for a while now. But James just went for a shower and I am ready to go lay down. I hope you all have a good night. I truly hope tomorrow is cooler. Sleep well everyone

Would You Help Me for Once?

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Pairing: Jason x oc

Summary: Nafula wanted help removing the trash, but Dick Grayson would never.

A/N: Sorry I have been gone for so long. I have finally secured housing and have just been working and unpacking this whole month.

previous 🌸 next

🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

Nafula was a 15-year-old child then, continuing to grieve Jason’s death while figuring out what she would do with a baby inside her that would never have the pleasure of receiving her father’s love. The tired teenager begged her father to let her be independent once again. There was a time soon after Jason’s death that worried both Bruce and Alfred about her mental well-being after the birth of her child: she would stay out late, bribe owners and bouncers to let her into clubs she wasn’t old enough to get into, drink until she passed out and even dabbled in drug dealing. Still, that part of her didn’t last long.

The love-struck teenager just needed an outlet, and having the money to do so made it easier for her. Dick and Tim worried about their sister; looking from afar, they noticed her severe mental decline. Dick had always been around trying to guide her out of her funk. Whether it was taking her to her favorite places, spending quality bro time together, or even babysitting her daughter so she could have time to grieve fully. Regardless of the situation, the ravenette was consistently by her side. Even though the family thought her outlandish behavior would only worsen to the point where she accidentally ended her own life, they were finally proven wrong when she witnessed her daughter's first words.

It was a Saturday afternoon, and Nafula was still coming off her hangover, jet-black shades adorning her eyes to cast out the bright rays of midday and the craziest migraine she had to date. Amena was lying on her mother’s chest, stirring awake as she tried to pick her head up to look at her mom. Nafula was still busy napping, so she didn’t notice or feel her daughter slapping her breasts to wake her up. Now that the baby is awake, her caregiver needed to be up too so she could entertain her. Nafula would lightly stir, not knowing what or who was bothering her, but she desired more sleep, so she ignored the light pats on her body. Amena wasn’t having it; she was annoyed her mom wasn’t waking up. The little babble that came out wasn’t doing it, nor was the assault, so she thought of the next best thing. Amena’s baby brain would try and remember the phrase her mother would encourage her to say, only to be left confused, but now she felt like it would be the right time to try it out. The more she babbled, the more Nafula tossed and turned while holding her baby still; even while sleeping, Nafula subconsciously put her daughter’s safety in the front of her mind so she would always be able to protect her. She was slowly reemerging from her deep slumber when something sweet reached her ears.

“Mama!” Amena screamed, her mother wide-eyed with tears pricking the corner of her lids. It was one thing that she needed for that day to be perfect. She, of course, shared it with Dick, video and all, of her precious girl acknowledging her. That day, Nafula vowed to be a better mother for her baby. Dick had his own vow to stay by her side, helping as much as he could as the favorite uncle. Pretentious much?

All that to say, the pair were close. Closer to each other than with the other bat kids in the family.

“Dick!” Nafula sang from the kitchen. She was tying up the last trash bag full of the most rancid garbage the boys had saved up because it was her week to take out the trash. “Yes, my dear sister, did you want me to grace your presence with my beauty?” He questioned smugly. Dick was leaning against the kitchen doorframe, looking smugly at his sister. She rolled her eyes at him, slightly irritated with him, before cracking a slight smile that didnt go unnoticed by the former professional acrobat.

He glanced at the piles of trash bags that had to go out tonight before looking back at the woman pretending to have trouble with the duty assigned to her that week. The children of Bruce may have grown up, most of them through their pre-teen years, with a silver spoon in their mouths aided by the wealth of said man who fostered them; however, he made sure that they knew how to function as an adult outside of having wealth. It wasn’t really a skill he had to learn when his parents were killed because he still had Alfred. Still, he thought about the what-ifs and knew that if he had gone from this world before his children were old enough to understand and live independently, they had to be prepared. They had to have the experience, knowledge, and abilities to survive without him and his money.

Taking out the trash was one of those tasks. After staring and noticing the creeped-out look Nafula was giving him, Dick pushed himself off the wall and stalked over to the woman.

“Seriously, what’s up sis? You never call me like that unless you really need something from me, so what is it?” he asked, not wanting her to beat around the bush and just be straight up. There was a little playfulness in his voice that he tried to mask with a bit of seriousness to try and hide the fact that she was already playing this little game in his head. He already knew what she would ask him, but he needed to hear it from the horse’s mouth before making his final judgment. Was he teasing her? Maybe because he already knows he will tell her “no” when she does, and the look on her face will be priceless.

She slowly glared at the male who was now standing in front of her with an accusatory look. She felt he was up to something, but her tired condition couldn't catch the slight mischievous gleam that danced in his irises. “Listen, I know this trash week is mine, but I just fed and put Amena down for bed, yelled at Jason–” “Isn’t that every day though?” Dick questioned when he cut her off, the sly grin plastered on his lips and spreading wide with each word that spewed out. Nafula only gave him a deadpanned look and let out a short, heavy sigh before repeating herself.

“Yelled at Jason for giving her candy before bed right after I told him not to, then had to suffer through a two-hour emergency parent conference through a phone call about the next few days of school for the kids because of the planned attack on the bank down the street. I am just exhausted, and I am not beaten to take out all this trash tonight. Can you please help me?” she begged, her pleading eyes almost making Dick give in.

He watched her weary figure sway a bit from the exhaustion she felt in her body. Dick knows that feeling all too well, and he knows he will get shit for this from her after today, but he feels like it will be worth it in the long run. After all, it will be payback when she refused to help him with it during his week. Then she had the nerve to laugh in his face when a bag snapped, and the garbage got all over his pants. He closed his eyes, letting out a stagged, regrettable sigh, and stared into his sister’s eyes.

“Oh, how much I would love to help you out, dear sister dear,” he started, putting on the voice he knew annoyed her, “but alas, I cannot. You see…” he trailed off, trying to find a good excuse not to help her but couldn’t come up with something fast enough. “if you needed help burying a dead body or needed my help to hide you after you go on a killing spree then sure! I will help you out, no questions asked. But I refuse to help you take out the trash,” he finished, the grin as wide as he could muster while he reveled in the shocked and irritated face she was making.

So much so that he couldn't help but laugh as he walked out of the kitchen and towards her shared bedroom so he could tell Jason what happened. Nafula was left there with no help and speechless, but she had a plan for that ass. “I’m going to kill that son of a bitch.”

Throwing my questions in the ring(⁠づ⁠￣⁠ ⁠³⁠￣⁠)⁠づ

Two for Alex:

- How is it teaching in Valhalla? Anything that would be different from human education?

- WHO IS THE BIG SPOON AND LITTLE SPOON!

________________________________________The rest are general questions for everyone!

- What is the most dumb thing each one has ever done?

-Is there someone they like to mess with specifically?

-Do they have any regrets from the time they were alive?

- Who would most likely befriend gods? If so which gods?

That's all pookie<⁠(⁠￣⁠︶⁠￣⁠)⁠>

AAAA THANK U FOR THE QUESTIONS POOKIE!! <3 For Alex: It is different in a sense that this man has to teach the young gods and OH LORD HE NEEDS SLEEP SO BAD. Legit, despite the fact that he is a human he knows some things much better than anyone (like old magic and the generall customs and rituals of the different gods) so the Academia just places him in whicherver class possible. And another thing that is different, is that many young gods are just- brats. Imagine the worst class possible and Alex gotta deal with them all. (which, he can. at the end of the day, he is a great techer and knows how to do his work. but it aint his fault if some of his students dont want to remeber anything) In short- its more stressful (and he needs a long vacation which is long overdue-) AND FOR THE BIG AND LIL SPOON QUESTION!! Very silly but Alex is actually the big spoon! Even if Jack tries- the british man always ends up being the lil spoon. (Alex is like a smoll cuddly bear ngl. very nice to hug and will hold u comfortably) Now to the rest! What is the most dumb thing each one has ever done? = Alex: Some silly things did happen but i dont think he ever had a "the most dumb thing" kind of situation. Maybe he took on the shirt the wrong way or mixed up some books. (or randomly switches to russian when speaking to Jack. especially when nervous- only to then translate it all to him-) Pero: Eazy- Thought she could eavesdrop on Jack and Alex (cuz gurl was worried about her brother) and didnt notice the door was slighly open. she fell into the room (she refused to leave her chambers for almost 2 weeks) Astor: Casted the wrong spell even though he did it like 100 times- welp there was a storm aferwards Anderson: Tbh- i am unsure? Pushkin: Duell his friend. He died afterwards Natalia: perhaps not stopping her husband from duelling his friend-

Is there someone they like to mess with specifically? Alex and Pero frequently mess with each other- if the siblings dont go one day without messing with each other, something is off Astor: It seems to be so bonkers- but Loki, Heimdall and Brunhilde. Andersen: Fr- this man prefers not to mess with anyone. He had enough- Pushkin: Guess what, with his Friend whom he duelled (aka George-Charles) Natalia: No one really. However if you mess with her she will not hesitate to throw whatever at you.

Do they have any regrets from the time they were alive?

Alex: Not saving his sister from Luke Evans (aka the actual Ripper) Even in Valhalla after finally beinf reunited, he still blames himself for it terribly.

Pero: If she wouldnt have found Luke Evans in Valhalla (and send him to Nifelheim), she would be like "not killing him", but she did that a n d she has her brother back, so pretty much any regrets she had just dissapear. Astor: Not being able to see his mother one last time before going into the battle where he lost his life.

Andersen: Being alone, in a romantic sense. While he had his friends of course, but not someone he had a close connection with.

Pushkin: IRONICALLY- duelling Charles. Because it was actually stupid and he acted on raw emotions.

Natalia: While she may had some, while still alive, fortune turned to her and basically made her life easier which made her regrets, of being alone go away.

Who would most likely befriend gods? If so which gods?

Who def would befriend gods is for sure Alex, Astor, Natalia and somewhat Pero. Alex has a close connection to the Nordic Pantheon, just like Pero, so that leads to some friendly interactions from time to time. He gets along with Frejya and Odin actually. He had some relations with the Slavic Pantheon but tries to ignore them as good as possible- the Goddess Zvezda is someone he does however talk to, but only because of his sister Pero (who has a lil crush on this Goddess) For Astor- he has to interact with pretty much every god. Unofficially he is Lokis right hand so he almost always has some bussiness with some other gods. He would for sure be friends with Buddah tho and Anubis. Natalia would most likley befriend Aphrodite and Hera. woooo! this was a long one haha :D sorry if there are some spelling mistakes- its like 2 am or sum here so- slay

Safeshiptember Day 22: Jukebox Musical

Taglist: @dango-daydreams

Today I decided to make a playlist!!(partly bc I didn’t have any other ideas😔) Explanations on the songs + how they’d work if AA was actually in a musical below cut!!

Song 1: Dreamer — Laufey

Okay so!!!! We open on Lu, probably walking home or something, idk, it’s exposition time baby. I think we’ll have just an ensemble cast as the backup vocals, and we’ve got just general moody lighting, and yeah!! Yeehaw👍

Song 2: Until I Found You — Stephen Sanchez, Em Beihold

We get more exposition through dialogue, but this is when Lu finds Saku.ya practicing by the riverbed. This probably isn’t her first time, but it’s the first time she’s noticed him being.. well, like that. This is a duet, and for Saku, it’s love at first sight. They part at the end, and stay strangers.

Timeskip lol i didnt have any ideas for songs + I couldn’t figure out how I wanted her audition process to go in musical format

Song 3: She’s In Love — The Little Mermaid Musical Original Cast

PRETEND THIS SONG ISNT ABOUT MERMAIDS FOR A SEC. This is obviously an ensemble piece, but it’s about both Saku and Lu. Masu.mi is Flounder because it’s funny. Just imagine the lights come up on the Man.kai common room with the beauty police + Yu.ki gossiping, then summer troupe joins in, and slowly spring and Alice, plus maybe Banban. SILLY.

Song 4: Monologue — Saku.ya Saku.ma(CV: Sa.kai Ko.dai)

AW YEAH BABY SLEEPOVER TIME (time skip what time skip?). This serves as his portrait. That’s it.

Song 5: Valentine — Laufey

Another Lu solo, but I can’t decide if this is after they both go so sleep and we explore her inner thoughts or after they’ve been together for a while. Either way, this song is so her.

Song 6: Follow Me — Dream Valley Music

Act 1 ending(bc obviously more will be added to their story but I’m too focused on this to actually continue the main plotline). Im not sure if this would be a full cast piece or a duet, but it’s the vibes. That’s it.

Yeah!!! This was so fun to put together hehe :3

The Neighborhood Watch S2 Ep4: Keep Greenville Weird

The month-long hiatus is finally over! So much happens to everyone except John, who has a nice day at work.

[Summary: Song takes Amira to be fixed and discovers the consequences, while Markus makes bad decisions. John tries his best at his new job, and Louis sparks up conversation with a conspiracy theorist.]

We pick up where we left off: in the charred wreckage of Song's house. Song and Fatima assure Amira she's fine as they wrap a scarf around the injured part of her face, while Amira insists she's fine and is very confused; she doesn't seem to realize she's a robot.

Louis and Markus show up and immediately begin to help putting out the fires as the trio above head to the Sumpath house; they're going to Arjun, Amira's father, so she can be fixed.

Some of the neighbors have started to come over to see what's happening; Shelby is one of them, still in her pajamas and looking like she didnt get much sleep. Bob Patterson, number one asshole neighbor, tries to come over to help- but with their current mental state, Markus is somehow convinced he's behind the explosion of Song's garage and threatens him. Bob puts his hand on the handle of his gun as a warning, and immediately Markus pulls out their knife and stabs him straight through the palm. Louis wanted to try and interfere, but upon seeing this, is all "oh nevermind, yikes"

Meanwhile, Song and Fatima take Amira over to Arjun, who takes them down to the high-tech basement of their house. He takes out a duffel bag full of gadgets, all with a logo- Song recognizes it as the logo of a company that exclusively works with her father. Arjun says a code to shut Amira down as he goes to fix her, and he's like "Song you can't tell anyone about this," and Song goes "alright let me cast a geas on myself so if i ever Do tell someone i'll die" Song and Fatima go upstairs, and right before the basement door closes behind them, they hear Arjun break down and cry.

With the fires almost out, Markus notices there's some weird melted plastic in the grass, so they scoop it up and leave. Louis finds the source of the explosion, the propane tank, and also a bunch of shattered gnomes. At this point he just goes "man, nothing is normal in this fucking town, jesus christ," and starts muttering to himself about it before deciding fuck it, he's going home- but then he sees that Ken, our resident conspiracy theorist npc, has been watching him. Ken tries to act all natural like he wasn't obviously spying, and asks what happened ["Was this a meteor, or an underground volcano..?"]. Louis has an idea, and invites Ken to chat with him, because perhaps this man has info that can help us. Kenneth is so so hyped about this offer to chat, because no one's been interested in his theories before! They head to the coffee shop.

John didn't notice the explosion as he's driven to work; I rolled too high. When he gets dropped off at the city hall, he meets up with Clara, his coworker. They're assigned to be at the corner of Main and Sapphire Street; they chat as the walk there, and John learns about her favorite places to hang out- turns out the reason they haven't met despite her being here her whole life was because they hung out at different spots, besides the coffee shop. He mentions it's been hard for him to get a job since he doesn't have a government ID, and Clara asks if he's an illegal immigrant- she then apologizes for asking that, and John says it's okay, since humans are curious by nature. He says he'll go with the immigrant explanation for now, and the two of them reach the street corner.

They speak to passerby; John learns from Joseph Miller, the park ranger, that the weird plant seeds grow very quickly, and Jebediah Ford, the Minister of the church, wished all of the other employees to get better. John asks Clara about this, and it turns out that some of the people at this job have been getting strangely ill; Not even Dr. Sutherland, the town's miracle doctor, can figure out what's going on- in fact, one of his patients has been moved to one of the city hospitals. John then spots Jack attempting to empty the garbage cans around town; the man seems sick, and he's wearing sunglasses. John realizes his symptoms are awfully similar to what he saw when Karen Patterson was sick in Season One... He's connecting the dots.

Speaking of the strange plants, Markus notices that one's been growing in their house- the seed they grabbed in s1 has been growing, and is overtaking one of their bug terrariums. When they try to get near it with their knife, the plant shoots them with thorns. The roots tear easily as Markus rips the plant off the terrarium, and they put it down the garbage disposal. Deciding not to stay in their house for a bit, they grab the melted plastic from earlier and heads over to Emmett's house- the AI analyzes the stuff, saying it appears to be fake skin. Markus suggests maybe Emmett should talk to Arjun about it- they guy worked for the government, after all, unbeknownst to Emmett. Markus leaves, and heads over to the Patterson's.

Over at the Sumpaths, Fatima is telling Song that she Arjun have always wanted a kid but it just wouldn't work out, so Arjun, being an engineer, built one. She says there was a lot of trial and error to get things right and that she still has nightmares about it sometimes, but they care about Amira very much. She starts to mention something about how it's a bit hard regarding something- but then Arjun and Amira walk out of the basement; she's on her phone like nothing had happened. And Arjun introduces her ["Amira, this is Ms O'Sullivan, she just moved in to the neighborhood."], and Song's player pieces together that Amira has completely forgotten the entire events of them game. Song and Amira practically re-enact how they met for the first time, before the witch excuses herself and begins to head out; but not before inviting Fatima over for coffee later.

At the Patterson's, Markus is snooping around the perimeter of their house. The lights are on in the basement, so Markus heads over to the side to look in through one of the basement windows. Inside, they see Bob with a medkit, fixing up the hand that Markus had stabbed earlier. Observing through the window, Markus sees there's something mounted on the wall much like a hunting trophy: It's the skull of a giant feline with antlers, and next to his is an entire wall full of weapons- this man is a monster hunter. Markus decides to walk around and knock on his door.

Song sees a moving truck outside of Lucretius (aka Lestat)'s home; he greets her, expressing sympathies about the explosion and how he would offer her a place to stay, but he's moving to another house on the block since his current one is too infested with bugs. He says that if her house is still in repair by the time he's finished moving in, he can let her stay for a bit- In the meantime, though, he asks if she'd like to head downtown with him and grab a bite to eat?

But Song looks over and sees two cars: a sleek black car, like the kind her father's employee's drive, and a police car. She declines Lestat's offer and excuses herself, and heading over to the cars to see what's up. One of the cops, Jason Chen, is putting up police/caution tape around the debris of her garage; he's not doing a good job but he's trying. The other cop is approaching the Patterson's house, and is revealed to be Bob's son.

Louis and Ken arrive at the coffee shop and are greeted by Jewel, the teen at the counter. They order coffee- Ken's order is very pretentious, while Louis gets an americano. Jewel spells his name wrong, and when he mentions this a voice from one of the booths- Tawny Evergreen, her boss- says that she's not allowed to spell the customer's names correctly. Louis gives Jewel a 50 dollar tip.

The two of them go to sit down. Ken is super enthusiastic about this, bringing out folders and everything, and Louis, who had already been regretting this, finally declares that this was a mistake and starts to leave. He tells Kenneth that his level of enthusiasm is too much, he's too into this, and that deters people away.

Ken gets upset and pleads with Louis to stay, saying that no one ever wants to listen to what he has to say, and how there's so much happening in town but he's the only one who can see it- and as Louis tries to walk away Ken grabs his arm; his eyes go white and his grip tightens, before he blinks and stumbles back. "[Our new neighbor's name] is LESTAT?"

Notes and Thoughts:

Shelby Nicole Waters my beloved, why are you tired? Im suspicious and reading too much into this

Once again, Louis continues to be the funniest PC in the entire game, it's so entertaining when he talks to himself.

HOORAY JOHN LAUGHED FOR THE FIRST TIME IN S2 <3<3

The title is taken from a patch on Ken's jacket!

We all started yelling at Markus's player for the garbage disposal decision, but really that's Such a good storytelling thing to do. Let's go bestie let's make it worse /lh

I'm very happy Emmett made an appearance again! I was worried he would only be a s1 character, so it's neat he's back! I also have a more concrete design in my head for him, so hopefully I can sketch him out soon

FATIMA. WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU HAVE NIGHTMARES, HELLO???

God the favor Bob owes Markus means so much more if you consider he was probably worried he'd have to kill his wife in s1

LESTAT STAY AWAY FROM SON. BITE MAIM KILL

Markus is SO getting arrested oh my god

If I had a nickel for every time there was a blond prophetic conspiracy theorist in my ttrpg games, I'd have two nickels!

I don't think Ken is able to control his ability/what he sees! It seems to be activated by physical touch- good thing he didn't come into contact with any of the other Main Cast, yeah?

I am very very happy this game is back! We'll find out what happens next in two weeks! <3

[pinkprincessia-art]

It disappeared before I could reply, but I would love to see more art for Story of Evil. I found you and loved your artwork and style, so when I learned you did Vocaloid aus, I knew instantly I would love anything you produced. So in general I wouldn’t mind seeing any Vocaloid story for FE, but Evillious Chronicles has a hold on my brain so anything pertaining to that would be lovely!

My bad I have a bad habit of deleting txt posts after a bit every now and then

OOo thank you! Hearing that means so much to me!

I used to do alot of Vocaloid type of AU art, when I was younger and it was always so much fun.... and then I stopped for some reason and after a lot of unfortunate life events happened a couple of years I was like "Oh why don't I go back to doing this? I had so much fun, but do it with FE" and its been a bad case of the brain worms ever since.

The Evilious Chronicles have always been my favorite song series... at first I told myself I was just going to go based on the songs and not all of the outside lore (it was tempting! but with this being a side passion project I really didn't and still dont have the time to go and hope I could find good translations read all of the light novels and do a deep dive) But its fine because my idea was "what if pocessed by evil dragon" rather than being the vessel of a sin.

I ended up choosing mostly Nohr siblings (because bias) minus Elise because she is too pure... and I think it ended up being pretty solid. Daughter/Servant of Evil - Corrin Twins (obviously... it really started because I craved a love triangle between Corrin Laslow and Azura.... and it fuels me.

I actually have plans to add illustrations for the Daughter of White. It took me a while to figure out who to put in Haku's role.... and I finally decided on Felicia. It felt the most right.)

Evil Food Eater - Camilla It seemed fun.... and cannibal camilla doesn't feel wrong I ended up giving the Kaito role to Kaze (for morbid shippy purposes)

Gift From the Princess who Brought Sleep - Azura I had a hard time picking for this one, I sat on it because at this point I had already decided I wanted to stick to mostly the Fates cast if I could (minus one). And Elise.... really-really didnt fit any of them the more I played around with it in my sketchbook the more I liked it for Azura! (Also yes I through Laslow in there too because he is my fav and I love him and I stuffed in everywhere I could)

Still working on how I want her dress to look but I like sketching when I have the ideas to come back to later. Corruption of Judgement - Leo

There was just no thought, I knew it had to be Leo. Also yes it means I will be drawing Forrest as "Master of the Court"

Duke of Venomania's Madness - Xander I.. was not sure about this one! But at this point I was pretty much sticking to Royals and those with ties to Nohr. Once again I plan to draw Laslow in Kaito's role because I am predictable and simplistic like that.

Tailor of Enbizaka - F!Robin/Grima The only NONE Fates related one. I could have stuck with it and picked a Hoshidan Princess... but idk I like the idea of Robin slowly descending into madness and murdering chroms family one by one and then him.

Muzzle of Nemesis - ???? I dont remember if I've mentioned this one because I think I might have but I'm gonna try to keep it on the downlow to keep with the whole "Master of the Hellish Yard" Vibes.

Adkadoiaj sorry for the word vomit is that, this is the craziest most involved fan-project I've ever done. And its insane how much thought I ended up putting into it, when at first it just was gonna be all "Ahahha I wanna draw Art-"covers" to my favorite vocaloid songs" Now each one is gonna have a handful of pieces to them.

[smolcuriouskitten]

For your drabble thing… I pick Halloween 1977 >:)

It was just another day for Rockelle. She hasnt moved from her couch in days and just blankly watched the days pass by in the ceiling to floor windows in her living room. She just wanted to sleep her days away given how crappy her life has been up to this point.

"Sissss!"

Living with the constant scars of a love she once knew. The feeling of dread when she looks on her mantle, seeing the lasting effects of the damage. Her mother was dead and she caused it. Sure Magic pulled the trigger but she was the one who gave him the power to shoot.

"Sissssssss!! Come on you have to get up!"

Stricken with hallucinations due to her opposite Roxie running free. Causing her unimaginable pain that can never be removed. Shes in her head, in her dreams, she never knows a moment of peace. If only she had something to cheer her up.

"FIRECRACKER!" And that is what snapped Rockelle out of it. Her sister was standing in front of her, wearing a lion costume from the Wizard of Oz. Her family established a safeword to let her know she was indeed not having a hallucination. Despite how much they tried to help her, nothing seemed to stick.

Its been 40 years since the events of her abuse. Her husbands ashes were left at Ramondas, a night club they all worked at together and her mothers sat on the mantle in her living room. The years after became a blur, now fearing her abilities and too scared to do anything else. She killed her husband in a magical blast she caused from all the pent up anger from the abuse. The breaking point was the same man killing her mother.

"Oh...Ren. How did you get in?" Rockelle softly asked, sitting up, her hair and skin practically peeling off the couch like a morbid sticker. "I got a key! And have you forgotten what day it is?" Renelle chirps, making motions towards her terrible but adorable lion costume. "Break all the animals out the zoo day?" Rockelle responds and Renelle rolls her eyes. "No silly! Its Halloween! And Chris is throwing a party and you are invited to be our.." She then rummages through a tote bag and shoves a package in her face. "Dorothy! We would have dad play Toto but hes off again."

Rockelle looked at her sister with a dazed expression before flopping back down on her couch. "No. I dont want to go." She said, about to turn around away from her then Renelle huffs. "I am not taking that as an answer! You smell and you need to get up from this couch! No light in here, you are acting as if you dont have life to live! Come onnnnn~ I know you are in your 70s and your bones might feel like it but we are NOT missing his party because you want to be a negative Nancy!" Renelle fusses, as she drops the tote bags and sits Rocky up.

Rockelle narrows her eyes at Renelle, not wanting to go out. Why would she? Theres nothing out there for her and what if she causes another surge and kills those she interacts with again? With that, she didnt move. "You are gonna attract spiders!~" Renelle singsongs and Rockelle screams, standing up and rushing around as Renelle cackles.

"OH GOD WHERE WHERE WHERE?!" Rocky squaks and Renelle gently pats her shoulder. "Got you off the couch, time to drag you to the bathroom! No spiders here!" With that, Rockelle growls as shes begrudgingly dragged to the bathroom and given several hot showers to wash all the dirt off her and to detangle her hair.

As Renelle finished the touches on Rockelles makeup, she stood back to admire her work. "This is like putting lipstick on a pig." Rockelle whines and Renelle taps her sisters forehead. "Enough out of you! I think you look adorable! They should have casted you for the role over Judy!" Renelle chirps and hugs the woman in front of her, pointing to the mirror. "You look so good when you doll yourself up. All clean and all ready to strut down the yellow brick road!" Rockelle began to smile at her encouraging words, gently holding the arm that was wrapped around her shoulder.

"We dont have to stay long. I came to bring you out for a bit. I know things have been tough...but a new millennia is coming. I wont stand for you being home all the time and making yourself miserable. I love you. We love you. Now come on you big ol coward, lets go out and find the wizard!" Renelle continued and Rockelle laughs at her joke. "You are one to talk you ol' scary lion!"

hallow household update 1

kinda lots have happened. i didnt know if i was gonna update each time they got old but i think its better. oh well.

Anabel:

became a young adult. became an adult.

reached lvl 10 in gardening.

got married. got divorced.

got a greenhouse built just for her.

i love seasons but gardening is a nightmare without a greenhouse. also shes really close to fulfilling her lifetime wish of growing 8 perfect plants. i'm pretty sure it has to be 8 perfect plants at the same time which sucks, because i'm pretty sure she has grown enough perfect plants by now -_-. also, i need to make her a wife.

Ben:

became an adult.

fulfilled his lifetime wish of reaching lvl 5 in 4 different carreers (business, political, criminal and law enforcement)

is a 3 star celebrity

stopped dating around (because i had him focus on his carreer)

i dont know what im gonna do with him now! i'll definitely put him in some part-time job because he loves to work, the weirdo.

Vance:

became an adult.

got romantically involved with a papparazzi after a love charm accident.

got romantically involved with an alien because i wanted to talk to the alien (didn't work)

got romantically involved with Connor Frio because he was nice to Vance.

reached lvl 10 in alchemy.

is lvl 9 in spellcasting and by god i'm gonna have him reach lvl 10 and zombify the town's entire graveyard for his lifetime wish.

i tried to go to the easy route by creating the potent zombie potion but i have collected many beetles but none of them are the one necessary for the potion so i gave up. also he's really lonely because spellcasting is a NIGHTMARE!!!!!! and i make him practice all day everyday. i'm making him cast pestilence in random sims and then cure them with the sunlight charm. apparently i have not been 100% successful as there are sick sims running around. oops!

im gonna make him into a vampire with a potion and have him reclaim the immortal perk. or just claim the age freeze perk.

Camilo:

blinked when i took his profile photo. he still has dark brown eyes.

became a young adult.

reached lvl 10 in sculpting and painting.

is lvl 8 in inventing. gonna make him lvl 10 and complete his lifetime wish.

completed a commission for some office and became a celebrity so i used cheat and made him a peasant again. theres enough papparazis on the house already.

the only one in this house who gives me an easy time. bless vampires for having fast skill gain. i'm not happy with his clothes but idk what to put on him.

i gave him the irrestible trait on his birthday but it's not him At All, so i might replace it with the Good trait.

Darius:

became a young adult.

reached lvl 10 in athletic.

is lvl 9 at fishing.

met the unicorn.

became best friends with ben and anabel because the unicorn requires 3 BFFs in order to invite them into the household (it's darius lifetime wish)

i then realized young adults cant have BFFs. so i adopted a cat. because sims can become BFFs with animals.

meet Helmer. who has 3 beds but decided to sleep on the bathroom floor. i love him, obviously.

i might need to move them out when the unicorn moves in because it is getting pretty crowded on the lot. no space for running and galloping. plus i'm gonna have to adopt 2 more pets.

anabel's gardening, darius' fishing, ben's constant promotions and paychecks and camilo's arts have made the household super wealthy. they have 40k simoleons right now. plus the house is at 50k? or something. so they're pretty well off, thankfully.

Welcome Home (Part 4)

part 4 !! gonna finish going through the site and work out all the secrets (hopefully)

spoilers under the cut

ok so i was going through and re-opening all the secrets and !! i was showing my brother the 'You' page from The Neighborhood, talking about how i couldnt believe i missed this the first time i went on The Neighborhood

then i went to the so below page wondering 'hmm is this different' cuz i know i looked at it last time but i only really glanced at it and gUESS WHAT

spiral. a spiral got drawn in and im so mad i didnt wait the first time but its ok! i found it now

leads to a page called 'Neighbor'

OH!! THE RECORD IS SHAKING !!! so this is important definitely

no Wally BUT it is a series of sounds that must have come from Home because thats the only character who cant talk and is said to communicate through sounds

also im pretty sure that its morse code but i have no idea how to transcribe it so,,,, i might try later or just find the answers somewhere else LOL

the sounds in question are clicks and squeaks, so im pretty sure the clicks are dots and the squeaks are dashes

but other than that ive got no idea dude LOL

well thats interesting why is it like that

OH MY GOD THERE ARE TRANSCRIPTS !!!! I GOT THIS BY COMPLETE ACCIDENT I WAS JUST TRYING TO PAUSE THE VIDEO OMG !! well now i have to check all the other bug videos

oh my god i knew there was something off about that little gray rectangle at the bottom of the video holy shit

looking at the transcript for Sally and Julie in a play, and at the end Sally calls Wally 'walliford' which is insane actually

ok now onto the merchandise page !!

oh my god its a real life telephone

ITS A FUCKING BOX !!!

u dont understand this is insane

i fucking love Welcome Home and all the art in it so cool

OH MY GOD THERE'S AUDIO FOR IT HOLY SHIT

Wally's audio isnt available cuz its got a glitch hmmmmmm hmmm

this is so cool though

ok so i was just hovering my mouse over all the buttons and actually you can click the red button which is Wally's button which leads to a page called 'duet'

im not gonna listen to that yet because i wanna see all the stuff on the merchandise page first

i will be going from right to left (pink/Julie button to purple/Eddie button)

so Julie is as cute as ever LOL its funny that she immediately assumes the silence is some kind of game also how would Quiet Sandwich Jumprope work?? i lowkey want to play just to see how it would work

next up is orange which is Sally !!

i love Sally she's so dramatic LMAOAO yes Sally u ARE taking the words out of my mouth also like where did that 'ta-da' sound come from?? does she just have a ta-da sound effect button on hand or something ??? thats hilarious i can totally see her doing that new headcanon

next up is yellow which is Frank !!

this is so funny its the way that Frank gets so mad when he thinks its Barnaby and its the way he was like 'well if this is Barnaby I'll 'prank' him by telling him about butterfly sleep!' like yes amazing prank Frank (oh hey that rhymed)

next up is green which is Poppy !!

aww Poppy ur so cute even tho ur like british?!?!? (jk on the british thing) she's so nice and polite even tho she like dropped the telephone she's still so polite like 'oops sorry i have to go have a nice day though!' i love her

next up is blue-green (??) which is Howdy !!

"...Actually, I do have plenty of time in stock, it’s in aisle two next to the bananas. But …I call ‘em cuckoo clocks!" ok thats funny u got me Howdy i love that there's two jokesters in the cast (more fuel for my Barnaby x Howdy craziness)

next up is blue which is Barnaby !!

"I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t there! What do I look like, a BEE’s-dropper?" Barnaby and Howdy are both absolute clowns, their immediate reaction to silence is tell a joke also every audio i hear of Barnaby reminds me more and more of Sans from Undertale LAMOAOAO

next up is purple which is Eddie !!

"Whether letter or parcel, whether rain, snow, or shine, we weather the weather and never decline!" he has a jingle thats so cute "..I’m starting to think nobody’s there… Wait… I can’t remember if the phone was ringing… Maybe I was going to make a phone call... But who would I call?" Eddie is such a himbo is that just me (also he'd call Frank cough cough)

next up is red which is Wally !!

ok so its different from the other duet that comes from the secret link 'hard to hear you think' huh,,,,,, "I hope you saw a friend, but I’m not sure you saw a name... Stand still. Let’s start over." fascinating what does he mean by 'not sure you saw a name' also the 'stand still' thing is interesting because i think in one of the record audios he asks 'why are you still' or something

was going through the audios and oh hey theyres transcripts here too and a little hint that its morse code

HERE IT IS 'Will' fascinating fascinating

i love that there's transcripts for all the audio even the secret ones thats so cool

ok now onto the rest of the merchandise page LOL

LETTERSSS

also bug spotted !!

the open letters are all addressed to Wally, one from Frank about a bug and one from Howdy about paint its really cute

"It seems as though whoever enjoyed this playset had a grand time pretending to mail letters to their favorite Playfellow puppets!" or maybe,,, u just have real letters actually written BY the characters and ur just going thru their mail pretty sure thats illegal LOLOL

OOH !! SO COOL

i love the art

listened to the audio and holy fucking shit !!! THEYRE ALL SO CUTE DUDE I LOVE ALL OF THEM

FRANK: [Frank looks down at him, rotating his head a bit as if to shake it.] You always did work too hard.

EDDIE: Wha? Huh?

FRANK: I’m going inside. Enjoy the ground, Mr. Dear.

EDDIE: Alrighty! S-say, uh, before you go, any chance I could get a hand gettin’ up-- [door closing sound] oh, you’re gone. That’s fine! I’ll, uh, get to pickin’ myself up… before the cows come home, heh-heh.

that,,, sorry i just ship Frank and Eddie so hard LMFAOOAOAOAOO

"You always did work too hard." what does this mean Frank how would u know that unless u been watching him hmmm 🤨 heheheh

i would love to hear the rest of the audio where Eddie attempts to (or does actually) lift up Poppy, Howdy and Home because that would be SO funny

bug spotted

OMG WALLY PUPPET IN THE REFLECTION !!!!!!!

this is so fucking cool they made records i cant believe it

the audio is all fucked up but still !!! so cool !!

CEREAL !!!

honestly in-universe this must have been an INSANELY popular show if its got records, toys, storybooks and fucking cereal made for it like ??? and all of this is LOST media????? what the fuck happened!?!??!?!?

AND A COLORING BOOK !!! i would love to have one of these

and then the Valentines Day cards which are all so cute

i dont see any drawings so i guess theres no Wally audio for this page

also bug spotted on the transcript page so i will watch that along with the bug video from the merch page (also no drawings on transcript page)

ok so merch bug video is funny LOL

Eddie being afraid of being jumped on by Barnaby hadnt even considered that dynamic between them bc Barnaby's a dog and Eddie's a mailman LMAOAOAO this video didnt end with Wally being asked a question on what he thinks but technically it still counts because he'd probably respond with what he thinks (question mark idfk what im saying)

next video

its Frank and Julie and I LOVE THEM I LOVE THEIR DYNAMIC SO CUTE GRAHHKDSKDJSJD

why are all these characters so cute stop it !!!! before i combust !!

now its time for the exhibition !!! so hyped !!

bug spotted but its hiding !! dont hide little fella !!

THIS IS SO FUCKING COOL,,, I WISH I COULD HAVE BEEN AT THE ACTUAL EXHIBITION HOLY SHIT

this is just so cool im losing my fucking mind

WHAT THE FUCK I DIDNT KNOW U COULD DO THIS

now i have to go back and look through the other pictures but like this

ok nevermind i think its only the exhibition page thats like this which makes sense

"Unlike many of the other neighbors, we have yet to find a Wally Darling puppet design sheet." hmmm interesting

Wally is three feet ?!?!? he's so small ?!?!??!

"The previous owner of this playset seemed to be channeling their best Frank Frankly in this charming doodle of one of Welcome Home's smaller residents!" hahaha...... yes its all just play and totally not real actual letters made by the real actual characters heehoo

OH MY GOD THERE'S A VIDEO HELP THAT SCARED ME LMAOAO

i was just showing my brother the exhibition pictures like 'LOOK !! THEY MADE REAL LIFE THINGS FOR THIS SHIT !!' and i was just moving between the pictures then the sudden appearance of the video jumpscared me LMAOAOAO my bad

DUDEEE I WOULD HAVE ACED THIS TEST SO HARD I KNOW ITS INCREDIBLY EASY BUT MAN I WANT THAT PRIZE

was the special prize lore oh my god i need to know what it is

!!!! REEAL LIFE WALLY PUPPET AND A MINI HOME GRAHHHJKFWDJDS THIS IS SO COOL I WISH I COULD HAVE GONE TO THIS EXHIBIT

"If it was a calling that brought me here, well, then that phone is still a-ringing!" there's another reference to ringing lots of references to being called/calling and stuff for Welcome Home

so very interesting

also another doodle

also i was using the option + tab command on my mac to see all that was clickable and guess what !!

random clickable white space

WELL ALRIGHT THEN

so !! password thing

i clicked the image it leads to this

click it again and it leads to this

i will definitely go through that but first the bug video and Wally audio

Poppy and Sally !!! talking about cake !!

i really like the bug videos bc even tho it is a little creepy and weird, the dynamics and banter and talk with the characters are just so fucking cute

also Wally moved his hands in this video !!

mk so the Wally audio titled 'understand' is very interesting about Home i feel like this has to be before the Home morse code audio right?? or maybe after? its definitely close to the Home morse code audio for sure

so this,, very interesting indeed

the safe has buttons which corresponds to each neighbor

but you need to put in a password in this

so how the fuck do i answer this

ok so im gonna go with the page's suggestion of the worksheet being the key

OH MY FUCKING GOD WAIT HOLD ON I HAVE TO SPLIT THIS UP BC I REACHED THE PHOTO LIMIT

[alastryona]

(changed my mind mid tag ramble but i dont feel like retyping all that)

and I already established them a bit, Bedwyn is a wizard who fled from his Very Shitty family (v adaine d20 inspired) and Hoder is a bard like her dad.

So the scenario that's been Plaguing me is: Wyn has kept working on some of the formulae he had been researching before he ran away, (mostly bc he Cannot Stop Thinking About It and needs it to be done to finally put it away, ykyk) and during a probably slightly sleep deprived hangout sesh/body doubling appointment with hoder she notices a pattern and Immediately gets super invested. Like crawls over him to Look At That Shit (autism win).

And what do they crack that had always stumped bedwyn? It looks like musical notation! not exactly, but the pattern is there and pulled apart properly shes able to play it out. And it works! With that they can quickly break down the rest of it and work what would otherwise be pretty dangerous magic (I've been really mulling over summoning, more on that later) into a MUCH simpler and safer charm that can be harmonized and strengthened. This would also be the start of their romantic relationship proper because I'm sappy and the idea of the AHA moment fading to the realization that you're way up in each other's personal space is Fun. (bonus for the overexcited kiss then OH FUCK IM SORRY I DIDNT MEAN- love that shit)

As for the specific magic, again I've really been thinking about summoning lately just cause it's cool. and I've already considered the fact that summoning an eidolon (stealing terminology from ff is my jobby) solo is Straight Up Dangerous because of how much mana it takes being a strain on the body. (big fan of basically mp gague leads directly into hp, you can keep casting without mana but you will hurt yourself about it).

So summoning is dangerous and difficult, better if done by multiple people in sync, and a performance would be the most effective way to 1. keep it going longer than otherwise possible 2. work in other spells as well 3. Just do complex magic in general.

if you've read all my oc rambling I love you mwah 🩷 also this is about Them, behold

(bedwyn left - hoder right)

magical formulas that, to the trained eye, actually resemble leitmotifs of effects and entities. weaving complex spells into songs both disguising casting and making them exponentially easier to be cast in groups, thus strengthening them. band that can fight normally and also come together for big ass spell performances.
