Its fucking 2 AM lets keep ranting about this! Genshin isnā€™t popular the way people think its popular. It is currently one of the most financially successful games ever:
Tumblr media
But it doesnā€™t make 20 quadspillion dollars by being the game with the highest player count - and certainly not by being the game with the highest player count in Japan. It has a ton of players, donā€™t get me wrong - looking like 60 million monthly users.
That isnā€™t that much though!Ā 
Tumblr media
All the big games clean its clock - and it looks even less pretty in Japan itself:
Tumblr media
Mobile games ranked by installs. Do you even know what that second game is, by the way?Ā 
Tumblr media
Uma Musume Pretty Derby: Horse Girl Racing & Breeding game, absolutely more popular than Genshin in Japan on mobile (which most people estimate is how Genshin is played in Japan & China, vs PC in the US). Which I am singling out specifically, because beyond justĀ ā€˜numbersā€™ you have metrics like intensity of the fanbase, how much do the devotees talk about the game and such. That sets trends more than numbers do, right? And hey look Comiket in Japan just happened, what do you got for me - lets rank number of doujins sold at comiket in the gatcha-style games category:
Type-Moon: 848Ā 
Uma Musume: 728
Hololive: 620 (Vtuber)
Kancolle: 654
Touhou: 596
iDOLM@STER Starlight Stage: 474
Blue Archive: 446
iDOLM@STER Shiny Colors: 232
Genshin Impact: 230
Nijisanji: 194 (Vtuber)
Touken Ranbu: 192
Project Sekai: 172 (Includes Vocaloid)
Arknights: 123
Azurlane: 120
Girls und Panzer: 118
Fuck yeah Girls und Panzer. But anyway 9th place? Pretty good! Very respectable...and fucking wrecked by the HORSE GIRL BREEDING MOBILE GAMEĀ Uma Musume
How about some streaming data! Japan only ofc:
Tumblr media
So now here its pretty low, but I will grant that its the best ranking anime-style game. Genshin is popular, for sure. But all this taken in, Genshin just aint that big - its a very popular game, probably the most popularĀ ā€œfantasy fluffy anime gameā€, but its not like, insanely popular, running the show.
The reason you think its popular is two-fold; one is that its a gatcha game, so it is monitizing its player base way above other large games. Not crazily so btw, the average Genshin player has probably spent $70 dollars on the game, the normal price of a game - but still its competing with other ā€œfreeā€ games which always have much bigger player bases, its hitting hard in relation. It is, absolutely, one of the most financially successful games ever. And the second reason is its cross-country popularity - its really rare for a game to be huge in China AND Japan AND America. The fact that its a top game in all three countries is a big feat, and it makes you hear about it, it gives it a playerbase scale from the sheer market size.
But if you are Japanese company Nintendo, making a game that is *not* a gatcha game, for a company that is famously pretty parochial about branding their games for the Japanese market uber alles, that is making a *console* game on a console that famously did not sell well in China...why would Genshin stand out to you? Its just one of the games, competing with a totally different model, on a totally different device, and in totally different markets. It is a trend, but it is not driving trends, it is not the trendsetter - certainly not for a Switch game. Engage would have no reason to try to copy it over other game styles.
TL:DR Fire Emblem Engage is taking inspiration from the horse fucker game and if you canā€™t prove that wrong I donā€™t want to hear it.

Hehehe Hello! Tis your secrettttt skeletonnnn!
I noticed on your wishlist you wanted to yap out some details about your goobers! I would love to draw either 4 armed Eclipse, Sunny Bunny, or Hallow, though you can yap to your heart's content about as many of your OCs as ya want! I do wanna see if these extra details will sway me even more onto one of your OCs hehehe
Btw, I am completely fine with gore too, so if your duders got some extra gruesome backgrounds I am able to handle them o7
OH MY GOSH HEWWO!! Let me just *scrambles to find my notes* alright so going down the list Iā€™ll start with Eclipse!
EclipseāœØ: Hereā€™s so basic info I already had written down
Tumblr media
ā€¢ This Eclipse is from my security breach au called Wonā€™t Die, they end up being one of Gregoryā€™s protectors in it.
ā€¢ I said theyā€™re fusion of Sun and Moon and I mean that literally, in this au Sun and Moon are two separate beings in their own body and they literally combine together to make Eclipse.
ā€¢ Theyā€™re kinda like Opal from Steven Universe in the sense they have a very one track mind and tend to focus on one thing and end up forgetting about other things they were meant to do
ā€¢ Theyā€™re move around in the same creepy manner that Moon does in the games
ā€¢ Theyā€™re 9ā€™1 ft tall (not including the rays)
ā€¢ They technically have 3 tails, the two ribbons on their backside and the hood of their lil cloak can move around like tails and the ribbon ones are strong enough to pick up Gregory!
ā€¢ They are very willing to fight and or destroy stuff in order to complete their main goal
ā€¢ Theyā€™re very protective and very strong (examples vvvvv)
Tumblr media Tumblr media
The White Rabbit šŸ°:
ā€¢ So his name isnā€™t Sunny bunny, I just call him that to differentiate from my other Suns, heā€™s from my wonderland au and in it heā€™s either called Sun or the rabbit
ā€¢ Sun is really kind to children but HATES adults, in fact heā€™s murdered multiple before in very gruesome ways, never in front of kids tho
ā€¢ I want to make sure you know he genuinely cares about kids and loves making them smile whether itā€™s by doing fun activities with them or doing something silly to amuse them
ā€¢ Him, along with most of the others from wonderland, want to kidnap kids so they can entertain them for forever, he actually lured Cassie (the Alice of this au) into wonderland without her knowing it was a trap
ā€¢ Heā€™s very manipulative and persuasive, this is how he helped keep kids from leaving wonderland in the past and how he got Cassie to help him in freeing the residents of wonderland
ā€¢ He genuinely doesnā€™t think murdering people and kidnapping kids is a bad thing
ā€¢ Heā€™s an animatronic but heā€™s also semi organic
ā€¢ He has a magical ability that lets him shift into a smaller form that looks like a rabbit(I sadly havenā€™t drawn it before), tho itā€™s smaller then his normal size itā€™s actually just a bit bigger than Cassie (sheā€™s 3ā€™9 ft for reference)
ā€¢ Heā€™s like 6ā€™5 ft?? I never really figured out his height but itā€™s around that
Hallow šŸŽƒ : Hereā€™s some info I had written already
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
ā€¢ The au Hallow is in is my seasonal au, basically magical creatures are the living embodiment of each season and of the four elements, other creatures there are also the embodiment of different things too like Hallow being the embodiment of Halloween
ā€¢ The farm they live on isnā€™t in the human realm at all but is instead in a realm where magic and such run wild, the farm is ran by Maple (my grim Foxy) whose the embodiment of fire and autumn
ā€¢ Hallow can only go to the human realm on Halloween but normal animals and humans are able to cross freely tho the areas to do so are very hidden so humans very rarely encounter the magical realm
ā€¢ The character Hallow is most similar to is Jack Skellington, theyā€™re both the embodiment of Halloween, tall spooky looking guys, mischievous, kind, and protective of their friends
ā€¢ They can open their mouth and they have a very long goopy black tongue, I sadly donā€™t have a drawing of this but I have a drawing of a different character who has a tongue thatā€™s similar to Hallowā€™s just not goopy like theirs is
Tumblr media
Highly recommend looking at this art of Hallow as an example of the flames ā€œleakingā€ out :] https://artfight.net/attack/7869231.dare-gone-wrong

Lee Jae Wook (Actor)...Insecurities vs. Confidences
Tumblr media
Insecurities
He's insecure about his hairline or just of balding (could have some issues in that regard). He may obsess over keeping clear and blemish free skin as well. I don't think he plays games when it comes to his hygiene, he micromanages it a lot. Could become of a problem of being addicted/obsessed with being clean
Okay so. He may be a bit misogynistic or just hold onto pretty controversial opinions when it comes to politics (if he was in America he would identify as conservative, not to say conservatives are inherently misogynistic btw). He knows that his opinions aren't widespread opinions so he's not too confident in truly expressing his ideas.
He may be insecure about expressing his anger outwardly (he has a temper but masks it a lot in public). He can become physical if necessary but like I said he could really hold back in public even when it's wrong for him to (like if he was being threatened, probably doesn't want to corrupt his public image).
He can be insecure about his career and how much of a future he has in the field. Worries a lot about money even when he has no reason to.
He has social insecurities, mostly because he doesn't find himself to be all that entertaining or fun. So I do think he can be a bit of a party pooper or project his fears onto others (like if he was with someone that was more of a bubbly, social butterfly he could try to put out their fire so that he doesn't look boring next to them).
He's a bit too serious, he doesn't know how to laugh at himself and keep it pushing. He has to over complicate everything and every situation, it could add to him being not so fun of a person to be around and may be a reason he's so insecure about the fact that he truly isn't that fun.
He's embarrassed by his family or his childhood. Compared to other ppl, his childhood could have been quite different from other people's (if any of you guys every read the book 'The Glass Castle' by Jeannette Walls. Her childhood story in the book could have been similar to Jae's)
He can be insecure about his weight. Being too skinny, he probably wants to get bigger
Confidences
He's confident in competitive settings, he may know how hard he can push himself to succeed so he would be confident in winning or just that he worked hard enough whether he lost or not.
He's confident in his masculinity, he knows how to draw strength and energy from himself to achieve a goal. He has quite the stamina and the willpower
He really feels secure of himself when he's performing in front of people, like on stage. I would think he could do pretty good with theater acting (or whatever it's called). It's like the louder a crowd screams for him, the more confident and pumped up he gets.
He's secure in his judgement and the decisions he makes. It's like he listens to his gut feelings often and it rarely steers him in the wrong direction. Very decisive man. He's good dishing advice to others and also taking his own advice (the gif I used of his quote in a interview is a good example of him giving great advice and using it in his own life as well).
He's confident in teacher/mentor positions. He's great at leading others and is most comfortable in dominant positions. Just like with his good advice, he teaches good skills to his student
He's confident in his abilities in the bedroom and in his size(this boi). He's confident about his looks in a way that he knows he could look worse

I was so spazzed that you liked that drawing
I know the struggles of getting a perfect sized pfp, it's painful, so ofc I did something to assist you
Writing...I have maybe 50 different stories and only one of them is g/t but I didn't get further than two pages, maybe 2000ish words, because I suddenly hated it and felt like I wasn't doing it right because it was the first time I'd done a g/t story and couldn't decide who's perspective I'd write it from and switching was anything but smooth
And as for the animals, the cat I just described, his name is BZ Boy and he is like 6lbs, super tiny cat but his claws, eyes, and teeth are bigger. He's a runt so the sizes don't match correctly but he's the sweetest cat I've ever seen...it really would make an awesome g/t story that I want to write but probably won't bc I hated my g/t writing
Oh! I also have a two legged cat, with only her front legs that picks herself up and walks, her butt just kinda held up...and she's very buff because of it, bossing the other cats around, very nice, her name is Nova (fun story behind her name btw)
:DD,, i'm moving some things around online tryna up my game, the new pfp was a good touch! :]
god yes, ty for thatā€”
fifty stories? and i only have one of them?... *squinty eyes*
oooh a g/t story!! tell me abt that one, maybe i can help revive it :0 /nf/nf
ehh it doesn't have to be smooth! it's a first draft (i'm assuming) so there's a lot of time to play around with it and switch perspective. you could always do one story from the pov of the giant, and then post that same story but from the tiny's perspective! and have you seen wilbur chocolate? i switch perspective about six times in both fics dscgsfj
and you've seen how supportive this community is, we'd all love to see some new content! :D
ahhh tiny cat!! that is so cute- only 6lbs šŸ’•ā˜¹ļø
that- i am in love with that cat even without seeing him
yes it would make a cute story! if you end up writing it SHARE IT!
HHHHH INAME TWINS WITH A CAT AMAZING !!!! and oh my god that must be a strong cat--- have you considered like one of those lil cat wheelchair things? those are a thing right?
ooh fun story? do tell !

Drawing Station 1
This is the station I had been waiting the longest to finally start doing! I was expecting what i expect most often, what is considered as academic drawing but was kinda delightfully surprised to have a good mix of both so far!
First lesson, Walk and draw
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
First assignment, easy enough! Take a bunch of paper, go walk around, capture!
I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would actually, felt like letting go and just letting the pen flow, as if just working with my subconscious. I realized at one point that I was basically doing people watching on x games mode. As people walk by me, i captured their jackets, their conversations, ect. Walking around the academy I law a lot of wires and electronics, and i liked focusing on that linear aspect combined with the people that i drew.
After drawing we came in and got tape to connect all of our pieces. I really liked the almost electrical tape that i took, and i ripped into thin pieces which I layed out over the exhisting wires that i drew, giving them more shape and dirrection. I also used this to connect all of the disjunkt drawings, making all the exhisting wires connect in a loop. A closed circut if you will!
Second Lesson, Figure Drawing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Exhiting doesn't begin to describe how I felt about this class. I have never done live model drawing at this intensity, by size and time and skill. As well that it was nude drawing I was also shitting bricks because the model was naked and I got very nervouse.
The first page was a warm up where we had to follow the models movement, kinda just in energy and then we got cracking to quick poses. I loved sketching this big even though it ment I couldn't work into the drawing more. Also after this class I realized that I had gotten quicker and more accuret at drawing people! So bonus on that
BONUS ROUND! Station Skill, Digital Model Drawing
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
What do I do the next day after my first time model drawing? I go and I do it again of course!
I liked how this class had a lot more focuse on shadow and light and capturing figure rather than only capturing the model. The first drawing was to me, a warm up, and the biggest challende here now was fighting photoshop since I had never painted in it before.
Word of advice that I realized right about now in drawing station, never ever look at other peoples work WHILE you're still working on yours. I kept glancing over at other people's work and being like DAMN. It wasn't that I was doing something wrong either, we were all just painting differently, but in the moment it always feels like you're doing the wrong thing.
Also I squeezed into this class without regestering cus I just wanted to attend it so bad lol. Really like Victor's classes and I'd like to attend more. He gave me the greenlight to show up unregistered btw! some people just always skip without unregestering
Third Lesson, Tree of Words
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She said pick a word and surprise me!
The day before this lesson I had been experimenting with ink and how to capture and essense of allusivness as well as barely being there. So decided with the first drawing to carry on with that. I don't actualy remember what word I picked, but I'm preatty sure it was shame. So person in ink falling to their death? maybe!
After looking over at other people working (against my own advice), I saw how much of a fluffy edge you can get when working with charcoal. I'm not a big fan of working with charcoal due to how messyyyyy it gets but alas I was really after this fluffy barely there effect. Took the plunge and refrence some old old photos of a friend from 2021. I tried to make a big contrast and try to demonstrate the snow from the photos but idk how good that attempt was. I can always try again!
Forth Lesson, Model Drawing Part Two
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
3rd time doing model drawing is a lot less intimidating. This lesson I tried more on capturing not only figure but also shadows and dimension. I also realized I gotta scale down no matter how much I love going bigger, I just dont have enough time to work into the drawings on such a scale. I think a lot of these would have looked more rendered and better looking if I just had more time. But oh well! you live and you learn.

Hi hii i saw your requests are open so i wanted to request smth, can u make emil, edgar, william, and eli with an s/o in the future and for some reason like wearing cute shi. It can be gn reader or female c: (btw ur ada and emil fanfic is grete keep it up!)
Emil , Edgar William and Eli with a s/o from the future that wears cute clothes
Note: not really happy how it turned with eli cause i had no ideas smh,, Scenarios! Fluff
I am so tired editing this cause this is the 7th time cause Tumblr none stop said that I canā€™t post itšŸ’€
Also if youā€™re uncomfortable with skirts and dresses replace them with jeans or other clothing you like!
also for the William part: the year is 1959 in the manor so ye
Tumblr media
Emil
When he saw you for the first time he was really interested on what were you wearing.
You were the only one in the manor that was really fashionable.
Always wearing a cute dress , or some cool jeans with doodles , or a cute t shirt!
There are lots of cool clothing styles.
He did like some of those retro t shirts you were wearing. I guess his favourite style of clothing is retro.
He really liked some of the accessories like the rings or necklaces!
He had this rusty ring on his hand that him and Ada had. But soon he got rid of it and now you and him are matching with some cute rings!
And every time he decodes alone , and remembers that the cute ring is on his finger he is only thinking of you.
Please show more of those cute clothes, heā€™s so interested!
You gave him some of your accessories and he was super happy.
You even had a bigger size of clothes , you didnā€™t know why you still had them but kept them.
And you gave those clothes for him and he loved them!!
Didnā€™t even know that this type of fashion existed , but when he found out that youā€™re from a other world aka the future he was flabbergasted.
How, what and where..
,,As i can see Emil in this manor all of you live some sort of like the 1900? Thatā€™sā€¦ weirdā€™ā€™ you looked at your phone. ,,Thereā€™s no signal either.ā€™ā€™ You said to yourself.
Emil was looking at your mobile phone weirdly. What was that glowing thing??
,,Um Y/N what is that??ā€™ā€™ He pointed at your phone.
,,Oh thatā€™s a phone , you can send messages to people all over the world, chat with your friends, play games, and talk on it!ā€™ā€™ You handed it to him carefully.
He was trying to process the little screen in front of him.
,,How do Iā€¦ use it?ā€™ā€™
Your hands were touching his and you were guiding him how to use it.
That thing called phone is so interesting!
Likes those puzzle games šŸ˜­
He doesnā€™t remember his birthday and you knew about it. So sometimes you gave him little gifts! Not only clothes and accessories but flowers, food, cute matching toys! Yes we know that Emil is a grown man but he doesnā€™t really care cause he just appreciates everything you give to him.
Bro you make him tear up from those gifts and he comes to you sobbing and telling you how much he loves you and he will protect you with his dear life.
Tumblr media
Edgar
Donā€™t expect him to like you or even notice you.
At first he doesnā€™t give two shits about you šŸ˜­
But the moment you were wearing some kind of cute outfit his eyes landed on it.
His eyes were scanning your body from your neck to toes.
What kind of fashion is that???
,,Oi pervert! What are you looking at?ā€™ā€™ You smiled at him playfully.
He quickly looked away and pretended that he painted. Red face as tomato.
,,Uhm nothing??! What are YOU looking at???ā€™ā€™
The panic he had šŸ’€
The moment he glanced at you , you knew you had the chance to show him how to dress cool and cute like you.
He did notice how you were dressing differently from the others. You didnā€™t had those ripped and too worn clothes that everyone had.
And you had glowing things he havenā€™t seen before??
What is that rectangle or squareish thing that glows when you touch it???
What do you do with it?
Also whatā€™s with that blue and red rectangle glowing thing too??
WHAT IS HAPPENING
Edgar was brave enough to ask you what do you do with those things.
,,Oh this? Thatā€™s called a phone and this is called a Nintendo switch , you play videogames on it.ā€™ā€™
,,Whatā€™s a videogameā€¦??ā€™ā€™
,,Oh right I forgot how boring this manor is-ā€˜ā€™
He glared at you.
You laughed. ,,Iā€™m kidding , donā€™t look at me like that! Okay a videogame is basically in this switch , there are lots of things moving in this device, and you can control the characters! See? Itā€™s nice isnā€™t it?ā€™ā€™
Control??
,, May I try..?ā€™ā€™
,,Of course! Here press this button, and then do this andā€¦ā€™ā€™
And you tried explaining him how the switch works.
Was interested and uninterested.
,,Whereā€™s the art?! I canā€™t play this so called videogame if there is no talking about art!ā€™ā€™ He scoffed and looked away.
You actually had Colour Live with a pen.
Edgar tried and hated it.
,,This is ridiculous! Ahem if I can ask you can you tell me what kind off erm fashion style youā€™re wearing?ā€™ā€™
,,Oh well I wear lots of them. Not ALL of course! I can see on my phone that itā€™s in the early 1900s right nowā€¦ I can show you some comfortable clothes I have , they are a bigger size!ā€™ā€™
Didnā€™t like them.
,,Erm this is just not my thing.. I look weird..ā€™ā€™
Tumblr media
,,Edgar you are wearing a simple t shirt with some short pants. Just like me.ā€™ā€™
,,I hate it. I look weird.ā€™ā€™
,,What are you even wearing when you are going to sleepā€¦ā€™ā€™
,,Not this.ā€™ā€™
At that time the both of you started dating, and he admitted that it was comfortable. (Like 3 months later)
,,See i told you would get comfortable.ā€™ā€™ You grinned at him and he rolled his eyes.
,,Whateverā€™ā€™
Oh and by the way he likes playing Minecraft. Itā€™s because he thought that there was something ā€˜artsyā€™ in it you couldnā€™t even tellšŸ’€
At least he is enjoying it.
William
O.M.G
THE NECKLACE? THE SKIRT? THE DRESS? THE JEANSSS???
William do be acting like a 15 year old girl who just saw 90% off selling clothes.
None stop asking you.
ā€˜HOW DOES THE WORLD LOOK LIKE IN THE FUTURE?ā€™ ā€˜DO THEY HAVE FLYING CARS, the idea is mine by the way!ā€™ ā€˜HOW DOES THE SPORTS LOOK LIKE NOW??ā€™
Dude chill šŸ˜­
Will listen to you carefully explaining everything about how things work.
,,Well uhh.. the world now isā€¦ uh.. I mean itā€™s in between hot and ice but itā€™s more Icey??ā€™ā€™ Couldā€™ve explained better..
,,So you mean itā€™s no good?ā€™ā€™
,,Ehh kind of? Well uh they still donā€™t have flying cars and I think sports are the same I havenā€™t took a notice from the old days. But you can watch sports live right now. Any you like.ā€™ā€™
His eyes had stars.
,,WHAAA NO WAY!! REALLY?? PLEASE SHOW ME!! CAN IT BE RUGBY?ā€™ā€™
,,Alright rugby it is..ā€™ā€™
William none stop used your phone for sports media.
You didnā€™t really had problem with it. (Hoping he doesnā€™t see your search history..)
About clothes!
Loves the comfortable ones that Edgar tried.
When he is back from a match , he takes a shower and when putting the comfortable clothes you gave him he plops on the bed and melts.
Loves hugging you with them and falls asleep fast.
Loves those badass rings šŸ’ŖšŸ˜ˆ
Would melt if you had matching rings tho.
Flexes that he has a cool and beautiful s/o from the future , so be prepared to be praised a lot by him.
Eli
The most friendly one when you came to the manor.
Literal sweetheart to you.
Praising you too , like how good these clothes fit you.
Man was making you blush.
But then learning that you are from the future?
How????
Tell him more please..
He is thirsty for that kind of information.
When you told him that you have a bigger size of clothing he got so excited!
You gave him some baggy clothes to try on cause he wears this baggy uhh clothing in the matches a lot. (Idk how it is calledšŸ’€)
Actually likes the sweaters too.
Both of you match with sweatersā€¦ in a goofy way.šŸ’€
So his favourite style of dressing are baggy clothes, likes wearing rings maybe painting his nails too! Teach him heā€™s interested in this too!
Both of you have matching bird toys.
Has an owl pillow from you and LOVES IT, ITā€™S SO FLUFFY!!!
,,Uhh Y/N honey? How do I take a picture again? I wanna take a photo of Brooke.ā€™ā€™
Still new to those things..
Sorry ran out of ideas herešŸ’€

cue the music! šŸµ
Tumblr media
order for: childe
flavor: smut (full fic; modern idol au)
order summary: performing at the MAMAs was a big deal but an even bigger deal is what comes after
warnings: long as fuck, female reader, she/her pronouns, plot lol, childe is so fucking hot holy jesus, ok sorry back to actual warnings,fingering, hickeys, references to that one video of doja cat winking to someone in the audience (iykyk), this is kpop idol au btw so you can tell i'm a kpop fan lol, right sexual warnings uhhh, size kink, kinda messy sex, dumbification, cumming inside,cockwarming, and kissing kink (game idea take a shot everytime he kisses you Imao)
Tumblr media
the yearly mnet asian music awards were coming up and you were scheduled to perform, being the biggest girl group of the year it was no surprise you were to attend and nearly everyone was anticipating your performance.
having an idol group with a sexy concept wasnā€™t original and didn't automatically mean that you were gonna make it big, but your group was different. your group was known for pulling off sexy on a whole different plane and so of course the hype for your performance was insane. almost everyone in the country knew your name and almost every one of your songs were a massive hit.
dckz were also attending the MAMAs this year, they too were known for being icons in the sexy concept however they weren't set to perform. it was a saddening announcement when the news was made but they were nominated so they had to attend. though they didnā€™t plan on performing they were given some of the best seats in the house to watch the other groups perform.
the arena was so exciting, all the bright lights and the sea of people had your blood pumping and ready to get out on stage. nothing quite for yoy roaring like the adrenaline from screaming your lungs into a mic and eventually it was time for your group to perform.
you were separated on the platforms,having three people on each. there were three total platforms, the main one having three of your group members and the other two having a single group member with two backup dancers. you were on the right platform, meaning it was just you and two backup dancers. the lights started out dark on all of them and the middle platform lit up first. the second platform lit up during the first verse and then your time came to shine at the prechorus.
the platform lit up and you felt the kick through your veins, normally you weren't the type to be super bold or confident but when you were performing everything else just faded away. pouring your heart onto the stage you sung with your whole chest and danced perfectly with all the hours of training having gone into toning your body. all of the hours of practice and lessons went to perfecting this moment and you wouldnā€™t have had it any other way.
the chorus was when you all met together at the main platform, finally unified with your group members you continued to perform however today was different. you stood out, a lot. but in a good way! you seemed to charm everyone tonight as it was obvious in the way you moved that you were enjoying yourself, you weren't the group's center for nothing after all.
there was one person in particular however that you had charmed in an indescribable way, that person being dckz' lead singer and center known as childe. being in the front row seats of the main platform dckz had a perfect view of your group and childe was bewitched by the stage. he was mesmerized by you, everything from your voice to the way your hair was styled to the outfit you were wearing to your body movement. all the little details about you had him entranced and he just knew he'd have to talk to you after the award show.
he was enamored with you and it certainly didn't go unnoticed, the members of dckz were giggling like school girls at the way he looked at you though he couldn't hear them nor did he care. you too noticed his hungry eyes and truthfully you struggled to not stare at him too long, you were just as much enamored by him. his beautiful blue eyes and perfectly set ginger hair, you were stealth in observing the way he gulped every time you moved a certain way and dear god did you wanna mark up that pretty neck of his.
the music was nearing itā€™s end but you were having so much fun that you wanted to keep going, within the last few seconds of the song you decided you were be more than bold and send childe a daring wink knowing that he had his eyes on you. finally with that the lights went out and you headed backstage, thoughts flying a million miles an hour and a stupid grin sitting on your face.
childe couldn't believe it, you had just winked at him. if he weren't determined to talk to you before he most certainly was now, he was itching to get backstage already and practically jumped out of his chair when dckz were able to leave their section. his head was full of only you, thoughts all over the place he rushed to find you and ignored whatever else he was supposed to be doing.
he bumped into you in the hall, nearly knocking you over he noticed how much smaller you were in comparison to him. he also noticed how breathtaking you were up close and how you wore a slight blush on your face upon realizing who you had just met.
"o-oh... sorry i um i wasn't looking..."
you were avoiding eye contact and seemed to have trouble forming sentences. childe was surprised to see you like this, you weren't at all like the girl on stage who was confident and bold enough to send him a wink. though if anything he found this cute and now he only wanted you so much more.
"ahaha it's no problem, i liked your performance. it was really... really good."
"oh thank you... childe was it? i'm glad you liked it.."
you knew his name? i mean duh he's one of the most popular idols out there but you knew his name? he felt his face turn red, wait wait wait when did childe ever blush? just what were you doing to him? this couldnā€™t be normal!
"yeah of course... umm... do you maybe wanna ditch the award show? i mean like of course you donā€™t have to but you knowā€¦"
he was suddenly avoiding eye contact now too and you couldn't help but feel your insides and lower body grow warm at his presence. his awkwardness was adorable and that blush on his cheeks made you wanna just kiss him silly right then and there.
"god i thought you'd never ask"
you unintentionally spit your words out being thankful that he made the first move, though you don't regret speaking without thought when he grabs your wrist and drags you with him back to his apartment.
before you knew it clothes were being scattered on the floor and fits of giggles erupted between the two of you, you could barely keep your hands off each other once you made it through the door and you threw your jacket off the minute you stepped into the foyer.
finally having taken off all of your clothes he grabbed you and threw you over his shoulder with a squeak of surprise coming out of your mouth. eventually you made it to the bedroom where he then threw you softly on the bed and climbed on top of you, his arms caging you in and trapping you beneath him.
"hmm... you're so cute you know that? giggling like that.."
he kissed you with a smacking sound and licked your lips with a smirk on his face causing you to giggle yet again.
"you do unspeakable things to me."
he moved his kissing down to your neck, biting down and sucking a bit causing a purple mark to form and a whimper to leave your mouth. you thread your hands into hair and tug a little making him groan in response. coming back up he kisses you again and you moan into the kiss when you feel his hand glide down your body.
you gasp as his fingers toy with your folds and he shoved his tongue in your mouth effectively muffling your noises. one hand weaved through his hair and the other quickly going to his shoulder in an effort to steady yourself as you feel his perfect fingers enter your body.
"aww look at you..." another kiss "all cute and wet for me"
you can't help but feel small under his gaze and you moan loudly as his thick fingers reach deeper inside of you, you push his head down when he thrusts and he now finds himself with his face in your tits.
you let whines leave your lips at the feeling of sloppy kisses on your chest your eyes roll back at the delicious timing of fingers on your walls. you hold onto him tighter feeling him use his thumb in your sensitive clit and you let out loud cries as he curls his fingers up when he finds your sweet spot.
ā€œyou are just so hmm" another sloppy kiss to your lips "so cute like this"
you feel yourself melt at the combination of his raspy voice and diligent fingers, you pull him in to make out and silence your moans with your tongue all over his.
"hnng fuck i bet you'd look cuter making a mess all over my cock though"
you shudder at his words, feeling overwhelmed your grip on him sure to leave marks the next morning and you unintentionally grind your hips as his fingers leave you. however before you have the chance to complain you scream at the feeling of him plugging you full with every inch of him, his hand now coming to your cheek caressing it as he soothes your adjusting body.
"shh just tell me when baby"
your heart beats faster at the soft tone he uses and you steady your breathing before nodding to let him know you're ready. he dives in for another kiss and you feel him pull almost all the way out before slamming back into you with an impossible amount of force causing you to moan into his mouth loudly out of surprise.
your thoughts are out the window at his precious cock making you feel more full than anything else ever could, practically drooling on him you can't do anything but moan and try (yet fail) to hold onto him. his groans fill your ears and you swear you could see stars at the way he's pumping into you, his pace not faltering even for a moment.
your hips keeping bucking up to meet his causing your head to fall back and a broken whimper to leave your mouth, his hand reaching down to toy with your clit yet again and you can't help but shake at the feeling.
"god-ah so cute, fuck so cute and dumb on me aren't you? ha-hnng can't even think straight can you baby?"
he's right, you can't think. only moaning in response and rapidly shaking your head. you don't even know what for really all you know is that he's good, so so fucking good.
you cling onto him and let your voice go to waste as he slams into you like a man gone insane, trying to tell him you're close you muster up all of your willpower.
"ch-childe AH ah haaa c-c-close haaa hnnng s-so cl-close"
without another word he somehow picks up the pace and groans louder into your ears, holding you with more strength now he doesn't hold back and is just as loud as you. without warning he slams his lips onto yours and lets out a low groan while you register his fluids filling you up. the warm thick cream causing your body to shiver in response and you feel yourself go limp at your own orgasm.
he kisses you once more but this time more softly and sweetly before collapsing on top of you and feeling himself drift into sleep. you let your hand make itā€™s way into his hair again and you pet it gently as you too fall into slumber.
you crack your eyes upon to find yourself on top of childe, smiling at his peaceful and pretty sleeping face. you pull yourself off of him and tremble when you feel him slip out of you, legs wobbly as your feet hit the floor. putting on his boxers and one of his t-shirts you open your phone to a million notifications.
"(y/n) care to explain this?"
"famous idol singer (y/n) goes viral for video of allegedly winking at fellow idol dckz member childe!"
you sigh at the multitude of news articles written and yawn, deciding not to deal with it until tomorrow and besides; you couldn't care less with the arms of a certain someone snaking around your waist.

P.S. I got half way through this and had to start over cause Tumblr deleted my progress šŸ™ƒ
Slasher HCs || S/O W/ Small Breasts
Warnings: N//SFW
Jason Voorhees
He loves you no matter what. Honestly he loves how small they are. They easily fit in his hands, making it easier to touch all of you in a shorter amount of time.
If he sees you're down about them, he'll wrap his arms around your waist and pick you up gently. He'll then proceed to cover them in kisses.
He can't speak so he often uses his hands or mouth to praise them in other ways.
Loves running his thumb over your nipple to watch the small bud harden from his touch.
When you're intimate with him he makes sure to give them lots of attention. He prefers using his hands, loving how soft they are.
He's always loved them so he'll always continue to touch them and whatnot.
Michael Myers
He's fairly indifferent about them. He prefers was anyways.
Doesn't really compliment them or pay much attention to them the first time you two are intimate.
He doesn't notice how you feel for a while but when he finds you criticizing them though, it's fair game.
Will start coming up behind you, running his hands up your sides and to your breasts to engulf them in his large hands and gently squeeze.
He loves messing with them, that includes lightly pinching them. But he loves using his mouth on the more. Beware, he will nip and bite just hard enough to get a reaction from you.
Even after he's convinced you they are perfect, he'll continue touching them abd whatnot cause he'll have realized how much he likes them on you.
Brahms Heelshire
He's a manchild. And it shows. He definitely prefers bigger but he's alright with small breasts too.
100% has an oral fixation. Meaning he'll suck on them a lot. Whether he's partially laying on your lap or if you're on his lap stradling him, he's gonna have his mouth on them.
He'll say something about wishing they were bigger, not thinking about how it would make you feel.
If you start wearing sweaters more often or staring into mirrors longer, silently judging yourself, he'll start to take notice.
He'll start to grope them more and give them more attention while whispering how much he loves them.
He's an ass sometimes. But he loves you and your body. He'll make sure you know it too.
The Other
He's not home often and when he is, he spends a lot of time with his daughter but the moment its just you two, he's immediately walking towards you like a predator stalking it's prey.
He doesn't care about your boob size at all or if you have a nice ads. He just loves you.
When you cuddle, he'll always have a hand under your shirt. Either resting on your tummy or one of your breasts. Usually the latter.
If he sees how much you resent them, he'll show his love for them and your vidy in general by getting you lingerie.
The moment he sees you in it, you're getting thrown on the bed and getting the best night of your life.
Prepare to always be worshipped.
Vincent Sinclair
He loves them. No matter what, you are his muse. His inspiration.
He loves putting his hands on your sides and gently running his thumbs underneath them, against your ribs. Almost like he's sculpting a masterpiece.
He adores that they are small because he can pull your body even closer to his. He loves feeling all of you.
He prefers using his hands on them but he will gladly suckle on them as well. He's a bit shy though so you'll have to tell him you want it.
Absolutely hates that you feel badly about habing small boobs. So, he'll make countless sculptures, paintings, and drawings of you. He'll have so many things of just you that it feels as though he knows your body better than yourself.
Bo Sinclair
Another ass man but a nice set tits is great too. And that includes yours.
He enjoys them. How soft they are especially. His hands are very rough from doing mechanic work on the side so he enjoys the difference in softness.
If you say anything bad about them or judge them, he'll sit you on his lap and suckle them until you're writhing on top of him from sensitivity.
Not afraid to grope you in front of others or slide his hand under your shirt. Your his and he'll make that known real quick.
Loves to leave bitemarks and bruises on them to show you how much he likes them and how much he fully claims them and you.
Lester Sinclair
He likes boobs in general. Small or not. He just really likes the soft mounds.
Loves the feeling of your soft, squishy flesh under his hands and your hardened nipple brushing against his palm.
Gets super wide-eyed and excited if you wear lingerie that lets your breasts hang out. He'll sit there in awe until you get on his lap.
The moment you're on him, he's on you. Licking and nipping them softly, his hands gently groping and squeezing.
His heaven is either his head between your legs or against your breasts so expect him in either place at least once a night.
Solomon Goode
He worships every bit of you. You are his love after all and he would do anything to make you happy.
He enjoys the fact he can hold you close to his chest without large breasts in the way.
Enjoys teasing you every so often when in passing or not busy with work around the house or garden.
Seeing you topless makes his throat go dry and he begins hesitantly walking to you. You'll have to give him the okay to touch you but once you do, his mouth is attached to one of your nipples. His hand moving to rub the other.
He loves your softness and the smell of flowers that seems to surround you without your knowing. Being so close to you and tasting you is intoxicating to him.
Will always compliment them when he gets a good view. He'll never let you feel down about yourself. And if someone does something to make you feel that way, oops. Where'd they go?
Harry Warden
He's so happy anytime he can touch them. For a while though he won't take his gloves off, afraid you'll find him repulsive.
Though once he does and he feels the soft flesh for the first time, he'll never want to let go.
He loves the small mounds almost as much as he hates Valentine's Day. Between the softness of your flesh and the way your nipples harden at his touch, he's completely addicted to them.
Enjoys covering them in kisses while he praises you and compliments you. You're his precious lover after all.
Expect him to compliment them every time he sees you once he realizes you think they aren't perfect. They are gorgeous. Just like you.
Bubba Sawyer
Absolutely loves them. He couldn't even mildly dislike anything about you. You're perfect in his eyes. He'll even make you sundresses that show them off perfectly.
Though be careful when wearing said sundress because he'll get distracted by you really quick, causing him to forget about his work.
When laying in bed he'll always have a hand on one of your breasts subconsciously. Not even on purpose most times, he just wants to hold you.
Definitely another with an oral fixation. He enjoys gently playing with your hardened nipples with his tongue when in a more intimate moment.
Won't publicly do anything like groping because he's a good boy but will attempt to compliment you. You'll know what he's trying to say when he does.
Thomas Hewitt
Very handsy with you once your relationship starts to take off. Your breasts being something that fascinates him despite the size.
When you two are cuddled up in bed he will lightly run his fingertips over them to watch the goosebumps form and your nipples harden.
His favorite thing to do is grab your sides and use his thumbs to rub the little nubs. His eyes will wonder from your breasts to your face, wanting to catch the faces you make.
After a while he'll attach his mouth to one, his eyes never leaving your face. He adores how much pleasure he can give you from something so small.
His opinion when you bring up how you feel about them is "Good things come in small packages."
Eddie Gluskin
Well you already have a one up on his exes. They didn't even have anything at all. Barely even mosquito bites.
He'll run his fingertips over the mounds, lightly pressing down to see the small squish it makes.
You're his perfect bride. His Darling. So different from the whores he was with before. Your body is something else to him.
The mounds may be small but boy does he praise them and cover them in affection.
If you ask, he'd be happy to add an modifications to your wedding dress to make you feel better about them.
Though he'll need to do a lot of... Researching... To make sure he gets the measurements right.

My Grocery Shopping List Mod
Getting food in the Sims is way too easy. You click on the fridge, oven, microwave etc. and there's always an endless supply. Now, things are going to get just a little bit more challenging (aka realistic).
I present to you, My Grocery Shopping List Mod!
HOW IT WORKS:
Click on the List (currently available in 6 swatches, more will be added in the future) to bring up the menu.
Tumblr media
All the food in the recipe menu will be locked unless you have the required ingredient.
Tumblr media
Once you do, the recipe will unlock.
Tumblr media
Now for the other fun part.
For the first set of recipes available in the mod, here are 12 different kinds of Hot Pockets for your Sims to enjoy!
Tumblr media
FEATURES:
You guys know the drill.
Each flavor comes with its own buff.
Tumblr media
In order for the recipe to unlock in the mod, you must open the box. You can open it from the fridge as well.
Tumblr media
stocked fridge...
Tumblr media
When you open the box either in-world or inside the fridge, the Hot Pockets will be in your Sim's inventory. You can either leave the Hot Pockets in your Sim's inventory or drag it to the fridge to unlock the recipe from the List modĀ (you must drag it, there's no "Put away" interaction).
Tumblr media
Dragging it to the fridge will unlock the recipe for everyone in the household. If the Hot Pocket is found in a Sim's inventory, the recipe will unlock only for that Sim.
For this particular recipe, make sure you have a microwave available. Even if you have the Hot Pocket already, the recipe will still be locked if you don't have one.
Once you click on the mod, the Sim will do the work.
Tumblr media
The Hot Pocket boxes are found under Appliances Misc. or just search "Hot Pockets" in the search bar ORRR you can download the updated version of the custom register since I added these items on there.
You can pick and choose which Hot Pocket flavors you want in your game. You don't have to have all of them if you don't want to.
Some FYI
BTW the Big and Bold Hot Pockets have more calories than the regular ones since that's what it says on the nutrition label... and they'll actually be slightly bigger in size than the regular ones.
I used the Microwave Pastry as the clone for the Hot Pockets and for some reason, toddlers aren't able to eat it, they are just able to hold the plate (I'm not sure if toddlers are supposed to be eating Hot Pockets irl anyway). I tested giving the toddlers the actual Microwave Pastry and they can't eat it either. Not sure if this is a glitch or they just can't eat this specific item in general. I will try to use items that all ages are able to use for next time.
DOWNLOAD
Now on Early Access. Public Release: 6/28 @ 5pm EST
NOW AVAILABLE FOR EVERYONE. ENJOY! Like my work? Leave me a tip šŸ˜Ž
straight download from patreon no ads ever.. (feel free to tag me if you post a pic of your Sims eating my stuff! I would love to see it!)

Born of Wrath - Ruins of Wrath
I want to elaborate on this post because I think it's important how the whole boss area is set up.
First of all, the whole Shattered Realm this week feels different. It's just a vibe and some aspects of the whole area. But the boss room is definitely the most interesting.
It's in a Hive warship and the centerpiece of the room is something like an elevated podium from which you have a good view towards the big Taken ball in a strange device hovering in the air. This was shown during the reveal trailer as well.
The rest (with pictures even!) under the read more:
Tumblr media
This is the same device located in the Shrine of Oryx:
Tumblr media
It almost appears like the one in the Shattered Realm is positioned to look into the Shrine of Oryx from above. This structure, btw, is a communication device that the Hive on the Moon used to talk to Oryx. Now, obviously, no longer used to talk to Oryx and instead, they most likely use it to talk to Xivu Arath. This would also make sense as the Shattered Realm is Xivu's domain. That room is a place from which the Hive in the ascendant plane can communicate with the Hive in the Hellmouth, vice-versa and beyond. Presumably.
And of course, there's the elephant in the room.
Tumblr media
A strange dark crystal bound with chains overlooking the Shrine communication device structure. I'm not the only one to be unnerved by this, nor am I the only one to have the thought that this is Osiris' prison. A place where real Osiris is suspended in some sort of hellish Hive version of cryo. The chains are what really sell it to me. If this were bigger, I'd probably say it some sort of a Hive creature being held here for some future boss fight, but the size just doesn't fit.
Furthermore, I've said a few times now, but I am beginning to suspect that Xivu Arath and Savathun are not really the enemies they're trying to tell us they are. It's important to know that the Hive have a very strange and utterly alien social structure. To them, murder and torture are expressions of love. They believe that this is what gives them strength so if you kill someone a lot, it means you love them a lot because you're helping them grow stronger.
Of course, Savathun is legitimately an exile to the Hive. She has practiced heresies. Goes without saying. The problem is that we kinda took her word for a fact that she is being hunted by her sister while not really thinking about how we have no confirmation of this from the other side. We don't know what Xivu thinks. Is she tolerating her sister's heresies for a grander plan? It wouldn't be the first time that Savathun is scheming in order to strengthen the Hive. Xivu knows her sister. I am finding it harder and harder to accept that Xivu would simply hunt her down on behalf of the Black Fleet without thinking it through.
After all, their last known interaction was Savathun preparing Torobatl for Xivu's invasion. They were on good terms. Savathun helped Xivu to obliterate the Cabal. And what was the whole plan with Osiris if not Savathun preparing OUR system for Xivu's invasion? These two are mirrors of each other, but with slightly different execution due to the fact that humanity has something the Cabal do not: Light. So obviously, infiltrating the Guardians required a more careful and insidious plan.
I believe this plan started a long time ago, but was finally fully put in motion, you guessed it, in Immolant. In Immolant, Osiris is exposed to the whispers of Xivu Arath, is drawn out to fight her and is eventually stripped off his Light BUT he is left alive.
There are two points I have to mention that do not align with what we know from Immolant (and Immolant is the most reliable source out of them all):
1. Savathun's speech from week 1 - specifically, the cutscene. Quote: ā€œI found a form more pleasing to your eyes. Osiris was lost. Lightless. I saved him from Xivu Arath and assumed his shape.ā€ This is a lie. Savathun did not save him from Xivu: Sagira did. Sagira's sacrifice is what pushed Xivu's influence away: "Blinding Light erupts from Sagira's core as she splits apart. A wave of Light surges and tears across the chasm. Her sacrifice cleanses every trace of Xivu Arath's presence. The sigil: erased. The cryptolith that supported her projection: destroyed." 2. Page 3 of the new lore book Ripples (still not on Ishtar as of writing this so I'm linking to my post with the relevant bit) - For easier reading:
Tumblr media
"Savathun was weak to allow their deaths. To cede ground to the Celebrant; to Guardians." - This is not what happened. Xivu Arath lured Osiris to the Moon, Xivu Arath spoke to Osiris, goaded him into killing everyone and LAUGHED while he did so, because Osiris' rampage gave her tithe. Not only that, but Immolant describes the Celebrant carving a ritual to drain Osiris' Light away and let him die. The Celebrant then leaves. So it wasn't Savathun who ceded any ground.
"The Celebrant steps forward. A massive cleaver dangles from its hand, weightless. The beast carves a rune into the stone on either side of Osiris, its eyes locked with his. It nods to him, and then turns to the sigil.
"All tithes to Xivu Arath. War Dominant. Endless." Its tone is soft rasp and soot."
And:
"The Celebrant drives its sword into the cliffside stone above Osiris's head. The cryptolith erupts in neon flare.
"Die well, Osiris." The Celebrant bows and withdraws from sight into Luna's depths.
Wisps of Light hemorrhage through his skin, trimmed in blood and drawn around the blade embedded above him as if it were a nostepinne spike."
This is very odd. There's a lot of inconsistency and lying going on. Hell, Xivu didn't even take Osiris' Light at all. The attempt was made but Sagira made sure the ritual isn't finished by sacrificing herself. Kelgorath was lied to, both by Savathun AND Xivu Arath to whom he pledged himself (and died for in the first mission during Season of the Lost: Kelgorath was the Wrathborn we fight just before we enter the portal to the Mara & Osiris cutscene).
This, to me, implies that they're in on this together. It's important to note that when it came to the Cabal, everyone thought that Umun'Arath was being influenced by Xivu, but it was actually Savathun doing it on Xivu's behalf. It is possible that all the voices Osiris was hearing were actually also coming from Savathun on Xivu's behalf. But if that was the case, then Kelgorath wouldn't have felt the need to renounce Savathun because she was the one who helped Xivu, instead of "ceding ground" as he claims. This inconsistency makes me believe that Savathun's and Xivu's courts don't really know the full scope and details of their mutual plan. The Hive sisters are literally lying to their own people for the benefit of the plan.
We only have Savathun speaking to us, but never Xivu Arath. What are her thoughts on all of this? What are her thoughts on Savathun? Is she really hunting Savathun at all? Obviously, Xivu would know that Savathun will most likely betray her, but if Savathun lays down the ground work for Xivu's invasion (like on Torobatl), why would she care? She knows her scheming sister well enough. As long as there's war, Xivu will be fed her tithe, making herself stronger and stronger. Savathun's schemes are benefitting her.
Which leads me back to the chained crystal in Shattered Realm.
Savathun's bargaining chip, Osiris. Where is he? Who is looking after this most valuable prisoner while she's trapped in her own crystal? Who would she trust to make sure he stays bound until the time is right? Who has the power to keep him bound while she's playing the game on the other side?
Well, it's Xivu Arath of course. So it would not surprise me for this crystal to really be him, bound and chained in Xivu's domain, under her watchful eye and kept in place by her power.
And, of course, where did we find "Osiris" on the Moon when we went to rescue him? In the Shrine of Oryx. The same place that the chained crystal is located in, on the other side, looking down to the Shrine from the ascendant plane.
I didn't mention it until now, but the post's title is a reference to both Immolant and Shattered Realm. "Born of Wrath" is the name of the first chapter of Immolant pt. 2, where Osiris first encounters the cryptolith, visions and voices of Xivu and gives her tithe. It would be fitting if Osiris' wrath that was "born" in that moment led to his "ruin" and eventual imprisonment in the "Ruins of Wrath."
I am looking WAY too hard into this, but it really isn't a Destiny lore analysis unless I'm a little unhinged. :)

G/t families pt. 2 cause I can't stop thinking about them -
Parent teacher conferences would be awkward
"I thought both parents would be attending this meeting?"
"Oh we're both here, my wife's in my purse"
Or
"Oh we're both here, my wife's in the parking lot, she won't fit in the building"
Tiny parents having their kid carry them to the meeting/climbing the desk
Giant parents tapping on the teachers window, asking them to come outside to make things easier
Making meals of different proportions, having to learn how to make super duper tiny meals or meals that are ridiculously huge
Small dining room sets placed on big dining room sets to the fam can sit and eat together
Imagine a borrower or a giant trying to chaperone a field trip
Hide and seek can be really easy or really REALLY hard, alternatively, losing track of people can get scary quickly, "HONEY WHERE ARE THE KIDS?" /
"KIDS WHERE'S YOUR MOTHER?"
"Wha- We can't get a dog!"
"Please mom! I can handle the responsibility!"
"Sweetie, it's not that you're not responsible, it's that you're 5 inches tall, I just don't think-"
[Kid starts looking upset]
Parent sighs, "... You'd be able to reach to pet it, what about a rabbit instead?"
Date night! Tiny sits on table as the parents have a fancy candlelit dinner, enjoying the romantic mood as they chat, not necessarily a family trope, but it's heckin cute
Tall/small siblings of various ages. Yes.
Kids of different sizes sharing a room
"Can you please make an ATTEMPT to keep your stuff on your side of the room?! You keep putting your backpack right in front of my bed- it's annoying! I can't lift that!"
"You need to clean up in here- I'm gonna get lost in all your garbage"
"Mom! [Tall] won't help me reach [the thing] even though they're the one who moved it where I can't reach it!"
When tall sibling has headphones and can't hear small sibling, small sibling climbs them and pulls it off their ear, and begins speaking directly into their ear
Smalls with tall younger siblings -
Tea parties
Interacting with dolls since they can't hold one, they must play the part
"Don't you get it?! Don't you see the hat?! I am misses Nesbit!"
You must play in their block castle they made special for you, this is the way
You can't exactly play tag or chase, and they firmly believe you're cheating at hide an seek, at least there's board games and cartoons
Babysitting is the WORST
Talls with small younger siblings -
They'll want to climb on you and sit on your head
Help them play super hero by helping them fly
They need to "help," with litterally everything, it's difficult to convince them not too, especially when it's potentially dangerous, then they must prove themselves
Constant mischief, watch them at all times
Smalls with tall older siblings -
"I'm taller and older, you have to listen to me!"
"Do you need help? No? Okay, well, I'm here if you need it... You sure you don't want help though?"
"I'm your big, big sister! You can talk to me, I'll keep you safe, emotionally and physically!"
"This used to be part of a Barbie set, I thought it'd gotten rid of it, but you can have it if you want!"
Talls with small older siblings -
"Why're you always in charge?! I'm a big kid and you're not!"
"Jimmy you're 5, I'm 16, look I know I'm small, but if you were ever put in charge the house would catch on fire, it's better if you just listen and let me handle it"
"You may have been born first, but I'm bigger and stronger so I should do it"
"... Okay, but only because I can't. You have to listen to what I tell you though okay? I'll talk you through it"

Did u watch the RWBY panel earlier today? If so, thoughts? If not, then ignore.
Tumblr media
Hello! I was not able to watch the panel (out all day), but I did just watch the teaser and game trailer. Btw, an upload of the teaser is here if anyone, like me, was having a bit of trouble finding it.
My thoughts... my first thought was confusion about why I wouldn't have much to say about it (don't I always have things to say? lol), but that became clear once I actually watched the vid. Why is our teaser a PoV reenactment of everything we've already seen? Yes, of course this won't be all we're getting in terms of promos, but imo RWBY has continually struggled with the early content they release, a trend that has become more and more worrisome as fans ask exactly how much of each volume they have completed and when. The only thing we learn from this, plot-wise, is that Ruby was still conscious for most of her fall through the void. It's a rather... non-teaser of a teaser, 99% of which is just rehashing what we already knew.
I find first person cinematography to be really awkward, but that's a personal preference, not an objective knock against the choice. The blinking cutting into the visuals, listening to Ruby's constant whimpers, and trying to figure out if such-and-such shot actually works from her PoV (like throwing Neo in the void) takes me out of the story, rather than drawing me in, but for those who are more emotionally attached to Ruby (as I once was) will likely really enjoy it.
Why is Neo transforming into everyone Ruby knows? She uses her semblance to a) actively trick people (pretending to be Oscar) or b) cruelly play on their emotions (pretending to be Nora against Ren). But what is she trying to accomplish by cycling through Ruby's teammates when Ruby knows she's Neo and they're both already emotionally compromised? They're supposedly falling to their deaths! Is this just supposed to be Neo's version of panicking? I find it a strange characterization choice and I'm inclined to blame it more on the teaser itself. Meaning, they wanted a non-spoiler moment that included more characters, but since it's Ruby's PoV and she's not currently near anyone else on the island, better have her relive the fight we already saw and then have Neo show a bunch of other characters.
I'm already seeing people claim that without the slow motion Yang fell too fast for anyone to do anything. Nah. C'mon. RWBY is built around superpowered characters and even putting their unnatural speed/reaction times aside, Blake did do something. Blake nearly caught her! Ruby was written badly in that moment, standing like a statue and then having a non-reaction to her sister's "death." The constant crying we hear in this teaser? We saw none of that in Volume 8. This teaser is working to make the fight look better than it originally was.
Tumblr media
Interesting that Ruby's own vision changes when she's using her silver eyes but, again: why didn't she set them off? Unlike the above where the teaser makes some aspects look better, this makes that moment look worse. We now know that Ruby was absolutely hanging there, listening to Cinder monologue, her eyes poised to save her... and just didn't use them for currently unestablished reasons.
Tumblr media
Something something Pyrrha turning into gold dust when she died.
Tumblr media
Given the difference in color below Ruby, it looks like everyone fell through some sort of portal-esque thing.
Tumblr media
And their fight separated them a fair bit, which explains why Ruby didn't wake up with Neo on the beach. There's some logical continuity!
Does anyone know who's calling Ruby? To me it sounds like Ruby's own voice, but it's distorted enough that I'm not sure. Honestly, that's the one part of the trailer where I #feltsomething lol
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I'm liking the giant flora and two suns! We knew they were in a different realm, but it's nice to have that confirmed. Right now, I'm reading this as evidence of this being the Gods' world. They're MASSIVE compared to other people, so it would make sense that they came from a world where everything is bigger too; normal sized for them. Plus, two suns, two brothers, everything in balance, etc. etc.
Tumblr media
Where did Ruby's emotions go?? We just spent nearly two minutes watching, as the fans are already saying, her having a panic attack and now it's like... nothing? She wakes up in a new world, having just "died," and all she does is give a little frown and march determinately into the woods? No moment to collect herself? No crying? No calling out to see if someone is there? Like her sister? No checking if Neo is still around and a threat?? Please, media Gods, don't let Jaune be the only one reacting to Penny and all the things that have just happened to them. Giving us voice over of Ruby's emotions in a recreation of the plot cannot be a stand-in for getting them originally and after the fact.
I don't have much of anything to say about the game except it looks boring and it's super weird to have them going on buddy-buddy missions for Ironwood post-Volume 8 lol. Unless friends tell me otherwise I think I'll stick to playing WoW āœŒļø

omg can i request relationship hc with kei tsukishima as well
Absolutely, anon!! Only makes sense for the other Tsukki to get his love too. Hereā€™s my relationship with Akiteru HC if you wanna check that out.
Iā€™m also sorry my headcanons always turn into short semi-fic hybrids, I just get too invested in my imagination and Kei was a lot of fun to write for hehee.
Thank you @tedwardos and @nonexistent-social-life for bouncing some ideas with me, and coming up with Tsukkisaur HAHA. You guys are amazing. šŸ˜˜šŸ’ž
Being in a Relationship with Kei Tsukishima šŸ‘“šŸ¦–
Tumblr media
How it all began:
Truthfully, I do not see Kei as someone who would fall in love or have a crush on anyone that easily. Therefore, I believe it would be appropriate if you are Yamaguchiā€™s distant relative who went to the same school.
As we all know, Yams would get bullied often in middle school, and even when he tried to stand up for himself, he gets pushed back down. So thatā€™s why you always try to intervene, physically throwing your body between the bully and your relative with your bravest face.
However, they would just push you aside and go back to bullying Yams :(. You felt pretty dang helpless and very upset that you've been brushed off like a piece of garbage.
So as you are readying to tackle one of them, you stop when you hear an unfamiliar voice behind you.Ā ā€œLame.ā€
Tumblr media
You turn around angrily, thinking that it was directed at you, but is surprised when the tall blonde boy is looking above you, at the bullies.
One of them runs over to pick a fight with him, but he simply towers over them. Tsukki:Ā ā€œWhat?ā€ then at that, they all run away, leaving you and Yams behind. Youā€™re still unsure if he was also referring to you, but when you turn to look at the admiration in your relativeā€™s eyes, you canā€™t help but look down at the bruises on your knees pathetically.Ā 
All these times youā€™ve spent trying to protect him, only ends in failure, and then this boy comes by and saves him with barely any effort. You were rather jealous, and felt discredited, so you try to avoid Kei at all costs. Even just the sight of him walking by in the halls irk you.
And to your dismay, you are a little horrified to see that Yamaguchi had befriended him and is now constantly by his side. Heā€™d asked you to hangout with him, and get to know Kei better, but you keep denying his efforts.
Meanwhile, the only thing Kei knows about you is your name, through Yams. But he doesnā€™t really know or care about you tbh, heā€™s got other things heā€™d rather be focused on, like volleyball.
THEN one day, Yamaguchi tells you that he is joining the volleyball team in middle school, and it would mean a lot to him if you go see Karasunoā€™s match with him and Kei.
You wanted to say no, but you love your relative, so you decided to go.
When youā€™re there, you never really spoke to Kei, only sticking to conversations with Yams. Then when you get to where the game is, you notice Keiā€™s awfully silent as he scans the court, not seeing his brother anywhere.
You wonder why heā€™s grown silent, but then when this one kid stalks over with a magazine in hand, saying that his brother is not even on the sidelines, you decide to shove the kid away because heā€™s being so annoying.
ā€œKei...letā€™s go.ā€ You say, as you try to tug him away from the hood of his jacket. To your surprise, he follows you silently with his head down.
Tbh, you donā€™t really know the whole picture of what had happened, but he looks so down and vulnerable after the game, so you spent the rest of the day, trying to cheer him up with Yams.
Then the next day, you stop by his class during lunch to see how heā€™s doing, and is surprised to see that his demeanor had changed drastically. The sparkles in his eyes no longer there, as he ignores you when he steps out of homeroom.
That upsets you initially, but then you realize that whatever had just happened is probably a much bigger deal to him than his rude behavior just now. So you suck it up, and jog up to him, so you can walk to the canteen together, in silence.
Heā€™s never expressed it, but your quiet presence is actually really comforting.
Then the next day, you do that again. And again. Before you know it, it became a thing for you and Kei to walk to lunch together. Sometimes, heā€™ll be the one to come over to your homeroom before you could go to his.Ā ā€œItā€™s nothing. My class just got out earlier, so Iā€™m giving your lazy legs a break.ā€
Yamaguchi notices you and him getting closer over time, and it makes him very happy.
You begin to notice his subtle acts of thoughtfulness, such as when heā€™ll only eat half of his lunch so he can offer the other half to you; he knows you are absolutely in love with his motherā€™s cooking. It made you feel really bad because you donā€™t have a bento to offer him back; your parents are usually very busy so they donā€™t have time to pack you lunch, but youā€™ve been okay with that.Ā 
The fact that you love his motherā€™s cooking also got him feeling a little smug tbh.
Because of this, youā€™d try to cook something for your own lunch. But cā€™mon, you are just a 6th grader, unsupervised in the kitchen (lol), so you could only make something as simple as peanut butter and jelly HAHA.
So the next day, when itā€™s lunch again, and Tsukki offers you half of his food (Or more like, pretending that he canā€™t finish it and didnā€™t want to throw his food in the trash), you scramble to pull out your sloppily wrapped sandwich and offer the other half to him with a big grin.
It got him laughing at how ridiculous your sandwich looks, itā€™s not appetizing at all.Ā 
Tumblr media
But just when youā€™re about to wrap it back up with a pout, he grabs it from your hand before smoothly sliding his food over to you.Ā ā€œThis looks awfulā€, heā€™ll say as he takes a bite, getting some peanut butter on his cheeks.
Youā€™re surprised he took it, and canā€™t help but feel a strange flutter in your heart when you see his ears redden, his gaze avoiding yours.
The next day, Tsukki shows up with two bento boxes, and hands one to you with a blush.Ā ā€œI told my mom about your awful sandwich, so she decided to make an extra bento.ā€
And when you are just standing there in awe at his thoughtfulness, he gets even more flustered as he shakes it around.Ā ā€œDo you want this or not?ā€Ā 
Of course you took it, and you are BEAMING when you eat. Tsukki canā€™t help but accidentally smile at how endearing you are.Ā ā€œIdiot.ā€
Tumblr media
Yamaguchi also noticed that btw. So heā€™s got a plan haha ;)
Ever since that day, Yams would occasionally back out from hangouts or events just so the two of you can spend some alone time together.
You and Tsukki being smarties, TOTALLY notice Yamsā€™ attempts. The first time you figured it out, awkwardness turns on like a freaking switch. Suddenly neither of you know what to say or do, because the idea of being matched is hella embarrassing.
But then you were like,Ā ā€œItā€™s not weird if you donā€™t make it weird. We also donā€™t have to acknowledge his attempts and treat this like the usual.ā€ So at that, you go back to talking like usual.
Tsukki is definitely a lot softer when you are alone with him, he doesnā€™t tease you AS much and is very thoughtful.
Now that you three are in the same high school, Yams would still do that!! And he is low-key frustrated as to why his plans are working so slowly >:( Get yourself together guys, you clearly like each other!
When you had to buy a bunch of textbooks, Yams got you to go with Tsukki alone and he carried all your books haha. Even went to get your uniforms together, and you helped him pick his size.
You two are around each other all the time, and are very comfortable about it. Everyone in school think you are an item, even teachers and fellow parents. Hell, even your own parents thought you two had been dating since middle school. But no one really brought it up, because....well, itā€™s not like itā€™s an issue or anything, theyā€™re all just happy youā€™re happy.
However, neither of you know thatā€™s what the others had been thinking, so youā€™re a little confused when people keep asking you where Tsukki is, or when they do the same to him. Like, Iā€™m not his parents, how am I going to know where he is all the time. You may think that, but you both ALWAYS know about each otherā€™s whereabouts somehow lol.
Honestly, you two donā€™t even acknowledge each otherā€™s looks or changes, when you see him, itā€™s just him and his sassy attitude youā€™ve grown accustomed to. Well...and his tall bum, cuz your neck starts to hurt a little more than it usually does whenever you look up at him. UNTIL....DUN DUN DUNNN
Itā€™s Valentineā€™s Day, and different students all over campus are slipping love notes into lockers, some leave roses on their crushā€™s table, while female students are handing out their giri and honmei choco to their male friends and crushes.
It totally flew past your head that it is Valentineā€™s day, so when you walk over to your locker with Tsukki and Yams that morning (you always walk to school together and your lockers are right next to each otherā€™s), you are surprised to see 6 love letters fall from yours.
You: šŸ˜³ Yams: šŸ˜¦ (heā€™s still a heavy believer in you and Tsukki lol, so heā€™s worried about competition.) Tsukki: šŸ˜¶
ā€œI see you got some admirers.ā€œ He says casually, turning to unlock his own locker. Little did you know, heā€™s trying to suppress his curiosity....and jealousy?? Who could it be? When did they put those letters in your locker. How creepy.
You turn to him, wondering if he also got some letters in his locker, and your heart sinks when he pulls out one, nonchalantly ripping the beautiful packaging with his thumb to read its contents. He flips it around in his hand, trying to see if itā€™s got a name on it, but there were none.
Tumblr media
The entire time when you are in class, you canā€™t help but wonder who had sent Tsukki that letter. The fact that it was the only one, makes you a lot more nervous too. What if it IS the one...and why would you care so much if it is. Youā€™d be happy for him....right?
Meanwhile, Tsukkiā€™s thoughts are also occupied as he sits in class, by the window. Since when has Y/n been so popular. Will you spend time with him and Yams if you found someone? What about you is so attractive....oh....shit. YEA boy, youā€™ve ALWAYS been attractive, but he never noticed.
Then lunch rolls around, and you are waiting for Tsukki to meet you by your homeroom, since heā€™d mentioned earlier that heā€™ll be the one to swing by. But he never came...:(
And itā€™s not that he forgot. As heā€™s about to step out of his homeroom to go to yours, an unfamiliar feminine voice calls out to him, and when he turns around, a girl is offering him herĀ honmei choco. šŸ¤­ Heā€™s SHOOK, but then he quickly realizes that sheā€™s probably the one who slipped the letter in his locker.
Nice Tsukki activated, because I donā€™t think heā€™s actually MEAN mean, ya know?Ā ā€œThank you.ā€ He says, as he takes the chocolate from her with a neutral expression.Ā ā€œBut Iā€™m currently seeing someone.ā€
The girl looks to him with a sad smile, so close to the verge of tears.Ā ā€œThatā€™s ok! I hope youā€™ll enjoy it though, thank you for being honest!ā€ She says, quickly running down the hall. He felt bad, but heā€™s more confused about why he had said what he did. That was dumb, Iā€™m not seeing anyone, he scolds himself, walking off to your homeroom while shaking his head incredulously.
When he gets to you, he feels guilty at the sight of you sitting by your homeroom, fingers fiddling sadly.Ā ā€œWhy do you look like youā€™re in some emotional music video?ā€ At the sound of his voice, you spring up to punch his abs jokingly, low key impressed at how rock solid they were haha.Ā ā€œWhat took you forever!! Did you have diarrhea or something?ā€
But he never responded, instead, opting to flick your forehead gently before walking off.Ā ā€œSome girl approached me, probably the one who slipped that letter in my locker.ā€
You let go of your forehead, instead feeling a hitch in your throat for some reason. When he didnā€™t hear your response, he stops walking.Ā ā€œBut I told her I got you guys.ā€
Your face WARMS TF OUT, but you are hella happy, immediately bouncing up to him.Ā ā€œIs Kei finally willing to show his friends some love and affection?ā€ You tease him as you burst out laughing. Youā€™re sorry for the girl, but for some reason, youā€™re happy, happy to know that you are not going to lose him to somebody else.
Then during lunch, as Keiā€™s unpacking his boxes, handing one of his extra bentos to you, his face turns BRIGHT red when he notices this adorable packaging with home made chocolate in it. The note is written in his motherā€™s handwriting: For anybody your heart decides to give this present to! Love, Mom.
ā€œAre you okay?ā€ Yams asks as he peers over his shoulder, eyes widening when he sees what Tsukkiā€™s been staring at for the past minute. You look over at them suspiciously, already chewing on some food in bliss.Ā ā€œItā€™s nothing.ā€ He mumbles, quickly tying and setting the bag down. Ok, sus, but youā€™ll let it pass.
For the second half of his day, he can barely focus on school, wondering if youā€™d find it strange for him to give you those chocolates. But heā€™s also a little afraid to go home with it, fearing that heā€™d make his mother sad. He could eat it himself and lie, but that also feels wrong.
By the time heā€™s done with practice and is helping the team wrap up the gym, you poke your head in through the entrance with a smile. You also have your own after school club and it usually finishes a few minutes before volleyball practice does, so you make it a thing to walk home with two of your favorite boys.
Also, at this point, you go there all the time, so youā€™ve become well acquainted with the entire team. It would bother Tsukki how Noya and Tanaka always does some of the dumbest things to try to impress you, or the way the other members would cast longing glances at you, before returning to what they were doing. Even the third years canā€™t help but smile a little wider and stand up a little straighter when you greet them.
Tumblr media
ā€œIā€™m going to run to the restroom before we leave.ā€ Yams says, when he notices the way Tsukki is fiddling with his headphone cord, constantly casting hesitant glances at you.
Screw it. Tsukki decides, when heā€™s finally alone with you again. This is my last chance.Ā ā€œOi, idiot.ā€ He says, tearing your gaze away from the bright moon and the stars that sprinkles the night sky.
There he is, with the chocolate in his outstretched hand, looking hella flustered.Ā ā€œT-Take it.ā€ He stutters, mentally cursing at how embarrassed he is, he canā€™t even look you in the eye.
Tumblr media
Your entire body warms, as you could feel a tingly sensation on your cheeks and ears, slowly reaching to grab the chocolate from his trembling hands, still at a loss for words.
ā€œKei...ā€ You begin, but he quickly counters, looking away.Ā ā€œMy mother made it.ā€
"Ah...ā€ You respond quietly, suddenly feeling really sad because you thought he had feelings for you.
He notices the sadness in your tone.Ā ā€œAnd youā€™re ok, I guess.ā€
You remain silent for a moment, a smile slowly painting your lips, as you continue to stare at the tiny red box of chocolate in hand. Then heā€™s caught off guard when he feels your gentle fingers, timidly curling to the side of his large palm. He looks to you in surprise; it was too spontaneous for him to put his walls back up.
ā€œI like you too, Kei.ā€ You respond with a smile, that only widens when he shyly returns your gesture, long fingers curling over yours.Ā ā€œletā€™s share this! thereā€™s three pieces in here.ā€
When Yamaguchi returns, the three of you share a piece, humming in delight when the deliciousness and richness of the chocolate lather your taste buds.
Earlier Stages
WHEEEW sorry the backstory was so long, I just think thatā€™s one of the few ways Iā€™d ever see a relationship with him form: through time.Ā 
And like any other aspects of your relationship, both in regards to intimacy and communication, itā€™s also going to take him some time to acclimate and adjust. Heā€™s doing his best, everyday, mentally beating himself when he fails.
You know how harsh he can be to himself, so you try to cut him some slack by becoming more observant. Constantly teaching yourself to learn his micro-signs and sighing in frustration every time you misread him.
However, Tsukki notices your attempt, and is incredibly grateful. Heā€™ll make things a little easier for you, because he can see how much it stresses you to do so. Heā€™ll try to communicate more, eventually telling you how he feels, though heā€™ll admit, it does feel very awkward in the beginning. Overtime, youā€™re both helping each other grow in the communication department.
On days when you have no clue how to read him and is feeling overwhelmed, Akiteru is always there for you to consult! Well...itā€™s actually usually the other way around tbh.
That being said, you GOTTA be patient with him. He will be sassy, and he will be even sassier when you get into arguments, or when youā€™ve accidentally annoyed him.
However, because youā€™ve known him for a LONG time, youā€™ve learnt to translate his saltiness into kinder words haha. (kinda like what Hinata does with Kageyama lol)
Youā€™re always by him, and apologizing on his behalf when he annoys someone.
However, if the person heā€™s accidentally annoyed expresses their hatred for him to you, you will always defend him because you know that heā€™s really great person and that his attitude is just a defense mechanism to prevent himself from getting hurt.
But there will be days when you really wish he could shed that wall and realize that he has friends and families who love him dearly and will support him no matter what. But you know that itā€™s not something that could happen over night, itā€™s just a wish that he would slowly walk down that path one day.
You are grateful though, so very grateful, because when Tsukki is alone with you, there is never a moment when heā€™d allow himself to put up that wall. He refuses, finally finding relief in relaxing his defenses for once, because it can get tiring sometimes.Ā 
In fact, all those walls that he put up, is probably the reason why he canā€™t really hangout around others for too long, he needs to be alone and recharge. So the fact that heā€™s able to relax around you, means that hisĀ ā€œalone timeā€ will almost always include you.
His eyes remain soft, as he always looks at you with a subtle glint to his golden orbs and an upward curve to his lips.
And when he laughs, he does so freely. Even Akiteru is surprised when he accidentally overhears it from his bedroom.
His mother still cooks you lunch, so whenever youā€™d go to his house for a study session, you ask her if she could teach you how to cook, and that made her SO happy. It becomes a thing now; you two would cook and sing along with one another in the kitchen before you excuse yourself to study.
His mother and brother loves you SO much. Sure, theyā€™ve known you for a long time, because you and Yams would come over often and hangout, but itā€™s never been just you and Tsukki. So now that youā€™re together, they have the chance to chit chat with you alone.
Youā€™re basically like a daughter to his mother, because letā€™s be real, as much as she loves her sons, sheā€™s always wanted at least another woman in the house to hangout with.
When Akiteru visits home, heā€™ll bring some interesting comics or things for you to geek out about together. At one point, Kei even got jealous enough that heā€™d come join you guys by the porch, softly playing his music on the phone.
Tumblr media
Speaking of music, he likes to create playlists and sends them to you. Whenever itā€™s just you and him on your way to the canteen together, heā€™ll offer you one side of his ear piece, so you can listen to music together on your way there.
You both take your relationship VERY slowly, and thatā€™s perfectly fine. It took you over 2 months into your relationship to hold hands outside the comfort of your homes, and 4 to share your first kiss.
FIRST KISS šŸ’‹: It was during lunch break, when you and Kei decide to enjoy your meal at the roof of an academic building. Yams was busy with something else at the time, so he promises to join you a little later. The two of you are alone, ear piece in one ear each, with shoulders and knees touching, then suddenly, you feel an urge to shift your gaze to him. As if your minds are one, he did the same, but instead of feeling embarrassment from your sudden eye contact, you slowly lean to one another, like the ocean, magnetized by the moon, sharing the most innocent, gentle kiss, before pulling back to look into each otherā€™s orbs.Ā It was so gentle, like a breeze that tickles the bottom of your lips when you exhale. It was very nice.
Tumblr media
Since that day, the two of you begin to experiment in private, like kissing a little more passionately when you catch him gazing at you again mid-studying. You even tried cuddling, and you LOVE it.
I canā€™t even begin to express how wonderful it feels like to cuddle someone tall (looking at you, Lev boi šŸ˜‰), the way his long limbs drape over yours, big warm hands massaging your shoulders comfortingly as you breathe in the clean scent of his sweater.
However, cuddles donā€™t happen often, except for special occasions when you both feel extra needy or exhausted. Heā€™s never really been a touchy person. Hand holding is fine, but constant cuddling just makes him feel like heā€™d rather be doing something else.
BUT, hereā€™s the trick. If you request for some song recommendations, so he can play it on his speaker, while you crawl up to him on the bed, with your head on his chest, heā€™ll never be able to reject you. Heā€™ll readjust himself comfortably, removing his glasses, before turning you sideways to face his chest, as he tucks his chin over your head, legs entwined. If this is the case, you can lay there for hours, listening to different songs until you fall asleep.
Tumblr media
Loves it when you wear his oversized clothes, but will never admit it. You know he likes it because he always offer you his clothes when you come over, just so you can be comfortable while studying with him. (Iā€™d never say no to that.)
Also likes it how his scent lingers to you, even when you change back into your school uniform so you can head home.
Just generally a big scent, kind of guy, Heā€™s one of those people who ALWAYS smells good and has great olfaction. Whenever you smell a little like him, he WILL notice, and it always makes his heart flutter, as he stands up a little taller.Ā 
Heā€™ll also walk you home from his house, no matter how late it is, and he will always make sure youā€™ve gone INTO your house, and hears your lock click, before returning.
Never understands why you always make him promise to text you when he gets home though, but heā€™ll never forget to do it.
Likes to lean on you jokingly, use you as an armrest, regardless of your height.
Whenever Yamaguchi jokes about how he feels like a third wheel, youā€™ll always joke back that Tsukki is actually the odd one here, cuz you are related haha. Heā€™ll flick your forehead softly as your punishment.
Your pet names are always something endearingly mean, likeĀ ā€œIdiot, sodium man, sassy pants, salt shaker šŸ§‚, or four eyes.ā€Ā 
His teammates always tease him about you; honestly, theyā€™re all very surprised that heā€™s capable of being in a relationship, but theyā€™re happy for him. Daichi always has to shush them all down, because it can get a little out of hand sometimes with all of them bombarding him at once.
Long Term:
Post-honeymoon phase, babyyy.
Space, lots of space. Youā€™re both very independent, and are introverts, so during the day, youā€™ll do your own thing, but heā€™ll meet up with you for lunch and dinners to spend some time together, in comfortable silence.
Youā€™ve been leaving a lot of things at his house, so he neatly gathers it all into one corner of his room, so you can access it with ease when you sleep over.
Both your parents became best friends, so theyā€™re totally cool with either of you sleeping over, even when it is a spontaneous decision.
You are comfortable to sayĀ ā€œnoā€ to one another, and that includes social gathering as well. If Tsukki is feeling too socially anxious to join you for a party, youā€™re totally ok with that, and likewise, when his team hangs out, he understands that they can be a little overwhelming sometimes.
But that doesnā€™t mean that you both donā€™t try. He mentally take notes of all the times heā€™s said no, and will only do it at times when he really do not feel like it. And if you ever feel like heā€™s been a little too distant, he wants you to tell him that directly, so he can avoid coming off that way.
Sass level increases overtime because he knows you can take it, lol.
Tumblr media
Would totally do something like this to you, regardless of your height.
If you are smol, he will definitely do this too, and Yams will react the same way as shown. >>>>
Tumblr media
Youā€™ve grown immune to his sass, and may have adopted some. However, itā€™ll usually only come out in arguments. Youā€™re still that nice approachable person, who deliver other peopleā€™s messages for him, to him (Because theyā€™re too afraid to approach him directly.)
Definitely opens up to you more, if he hasnā€™t already been, because he knows he can trust you, and trust is a VERY big thing for him. This boyā€™s got some trust issues, yk?
Heā€™s a little more adventurous now; it used to be so difficult to convince him to go somewhere new or exciting with you, but after years of pestering him to go places, he realizes, as heā€™s standing in the middle of a hike, lush green leaves surrounding him from all sides, that maybeĀ this is not so bad after all.
You and Yams keep bringing new activities for him to try, and for 70% percent of those attempts, he actually says yes.
LOVES it when you give head massages, but he always complains that you are messing his hair.
Stargazing after dinner had become a routine for you. Youā€™ll both lay, head to head, bodies the opposite direction, with your fingers interlaced next to each otherā€™s heads. Sometimes, youā€™ll even drift off into a short nap, and heā€™s fine with that because your hand feels very nice in his.
Your presence had encouraged him to become closer to his family: you two will help his mother pack up and wipe down the table after dinner, while Akiteru washes the dishes. Sometimes, youā€™ll wave a curious Akiteru over to join you and Kei on horror movie nights. His mother even joined for 1 whole minute, before she leaves, saying that itā€™s too scary for her, leaving you three to throw some funny/judgmental remarks at how silly the characters are being.
Heā€™s also a big supporter of your interests, though he will never admit or fully show that he is, if that makes any sense. For instance, if you are in the robotics team, he will educate himself on its process and some technical solutions and will help you build your robot at home. When you ask him how he knows about all this, he just responds with something like ā€œI donā€™t know, I just guessed.ā€
If you are interested in something more performative, like if youā€™re into ballet, for instance, he will always show up to your performances with Yams (and Akiteru, because he really wants to see his future sister-in-law killing it). However, heā€™ll also respect your decision if you tend to feel more nervous with him there, in that case, heā€™ll just send you a text that says ā€œYouā€™ll do great. šŸ¦–ā€ or ā€œDonā€™t fall on your bum šŸ¤”ā€ right before the show begins. It always makes you laugh when you read it in his monotonous voice.
You just know that he only uses emojis when he think his texts sounds unintentionally sarcastic or too short. lol. Heā€™s just not too great at texting, ok?
When it comes to cheering for Tsukki, you share the same type of support. Youā€™d LOVE to go to all of his matches, to be there for him and show how proud you are. But if heā€™s really uncomfortable, then you understand that too.
He secretly loves it when you go cheer him though, it really brightens up his match, especially when heā€™s in one with a tougher opponent. ToĀ look up to the sea of growing Karasuno supporters and see your smile shine brighter than all the others, restores his energy like the sun.
Somehow, Tanaka and Noya always notices when he turns to look at you, so theyā€™ll both cling on to him like monkeys, turning to wave at you.Ā 
Tumblr media
You gladly return their gesture, laughing at Tsukkiā€™s miserable face as you pull your phone out to snap a very zoomed in photo of his pained expression to use as his new contact photo LOL.Ā 
ā€œAt least, Iā€™m the one in a relationship.ā€ Heā€™ll deadpan, adjusting his frames before walking away quietly with a smug smile. RIP Tanaka and Noya, theyā€™re just rolling on the floor crying for Kiyoko haha.
Tumblr media
Also, he has this weird fascination for animals? Well, mainly with dinosaurs. BOTH Tsukishimaā€™s has this fascination, it runs deep in their blood. Oh you prefer whales? Too bad, itā€™s not as cool.
Whenever Kei recommends some dinosaur-related movies, heā€™ll try to be low key about his excitement, but you can totally tell that, at this very moment, his body feels like a shell thatā€™s trying to contain the vibration of his happiness. Saying no to his suggestion, will only shatter his little heart. You find this incredibly endearing, for a moment, he reminds you of his younger self, where he would always show up to school in his dinosaur T-shirts.
When you agree to watch it with him, Akiteru ALWAYS emerges out of nowhere, and invites himself to join you. You like to jokingly call them Tsukkisaurs, but Kei will be the only Tsukki to have that name saved in your contact.
We also love some asshole Tsukki moment āœØ: He likes to call you Godzilla when you are on your period and is feeling bloated. You were a lil offended at first because, WHICH RENDITION OF GODZILLA is he referring to? It better not be the 2014 one, because it looked a little chubbier than the original.
He confirms, without hesitation, that it IS the 2014 rendition, just to piss you off lol. Then he shows you his phone, to confirm that he had you down as Godzilla on his contact, with this image as your profile:
Tumblr media
But if you are actually feeling self conscious about your body that day, he will sigh and pull you to his chest.Ā ā€œIdiot, you look just fine to me, the way you are.ā€
And he meant it.
He may be inclined to appear indifferent and cynical at times, but he KNOWS you can see right through him. The idea of showing vulnerability to anyone at all, was daunting, but you embraced him with so much love and acceptance, he wishes that heā€™s proven his love for you enough.Ā 
And he has, you understand him so well. You appreciate all his subtle signs of affection and thoughtfulness, and you would never ask for it any other way. This is him...itā€™s who he is to you: your best friend and lover, perfectly imperfect in every way.

what the fuck is the sburb au
yes im looking at you, my poor lost child who likes the stained glass
(i too like the stained glass)
i am also looking at more people probably but idk who, hi ! im waving at you rn
anyway good morning
(it isnt morning, im basically never up before 12PM)
if you find this too long honestly ? youre right. im sorry. this is hard to explain
tldr ? theres this cringey ass masterpiece of a trainwreck of a webcomic on the internet called homestuck
itā€™s a webcomic that follows various groups of players of a game called sburb
so what i did for the AU was just make the tf2 men play it instead
tldr on sburb, itā€™s a fancy ass game like a crossover between the sims & DND but irl. you transport ur wholeass house into an alternate dimension (the medium) & wind up on Ur Very Own Planet With Quests N Shit. the game is rather complex bc Uhhhh the goal is to make a frog-universe. (yea.)
so yes you breed. a. uh. universe.
frog.
universe frog.
whatever
tldr pyro gets to have a bunch of frog pets & thats what matters
anyway
it has a lot of fancy shit like two wholeass planets (prospit & derse) with clones of the players called dream selves, u switch to them by sleeping (duh), & theres also That Even Bigger Planet That Is All Checkers Like Bitch Is Goth Or Some Shit, thats skaia. & sorta uh. it serves as the fancy cocoon in which ur frog universe will hatch.
heres a schematic
Tumblr media
goals basically to 1) breed the frog 2) hoard enough ressources & build ur homes to the max height so to fertilize skaia (u get fancy... sprays ? u drop on top of ur home basically. & that sprays ur ressources on skaia. yea.) 3) deal with the baddies that have a special ability that can fuck up skaia & therefor ur ability to win the game
so this is cool n all but theres just So Much going on.
-if u dream at prospit u can see skaia from here, & skaia has funny clouds thru which u can see the future. thts where the helpful npcs live !! they try to help & fight the baddies. also theyre pawn themed
-if u dream at derse u can hear the voices of the horrorterrors, which are just Bigass Eldritch Monsters tht help the players (?), yes tentaspy happens in this au, anyway, thats where the baddies live. they dont like the frog. nobody knows why. theyre dumb
-on ur planet u have funny little guys called consorts which are Again Helpful Npcs, they tend to be cute reptiles that want shit related to ur planet. u also have Denizens which are Bigass Badass Worms (dune momence) tht help u get stronger & a bunch of other stuff & give you Epic Advice n stuff Also You Can Fight Them idk its complicated
-you also have imps & shit which basically are mobs. they drop the ressources you need to drop onto skaia, build ur home, but also do fancy alchemy. think a bit tf2ā€²s craft system, itā€™s really not that different
Tumblr media
here i swear its not complicated, after the 7th read of homestuck u eventually understand
now onto the finer parts of it-
1) sburb is a fucked up game. when ur getting ready to launch it u have a fancy uhhh shining ball of Blatantly A Game Construct to deal with called a kernelsprite. u drop something into it (prototyping) & that influences what the imps are like & also allows the game to start bc Skaiaā€™s size is bound to how many kernelsprites have been prototyped before u get into the game, if you dont prototype anything u get problems but its not the case for the tf2 men, anyway. they prototype MvM robots, so they have to. uh. fight robo-imps, exactly like MvM, but they also get as such mvm robots to basically be their tutorial guys bc whatever u drop into these also become a helpful npc of sorts
2) so you get to alchemize weapons & all that but you Also get superpowers. thats where classpects happen. theres like 12 aspects (literal. aspect of the universe.) & 14 classes (thts how u interract w that aspect). btw i dont follow what the wiki says cos i got my own classpect theory
SPOILER FOR THE AU bc they take a rlly long time to figure out what everyone is but
scout - thief of time (basically he uh. steals time. he is TREMENDOUSLY OVERPOWERED but god at what cost. insert here joke abt double cap rate), derse dreamer
solly - heir of hope (tldr ? sollyā€™s miracle bullshit upped to 100), prospit dreamer
pyro - prince of space (they destroy space/through space, which encompasses things like harmony. so yeah thats pyrovision in a nutshell), prospit dreamer
demo - witch of light (light is luck & knowledge, crit stickies lmao + pls make demo smart please and thank u he deserves to be v lovely), prospit dreamer
heavy - knight of rage (rageā€™s related to truth & heavyā€™s backstory seems to be heavily tied to him wanting to protect it, also he simply protects through rage), prospit dreamer
engie - rogue of mind (stealing mind shit/thru em but like Defensive.), derse dreamer
medic - bard of life (allows the destruction of/through life. uber in a nutshell), derse dreamer
sniper - sylph of doom (he creates doom. yea uh. headshot. & also just his life is full of doom w NZ being sunk & all lmao), derse dreamer
spy - seer of void (he is given the void & thru it. uh idk take the seer part literally, hes a spy you can guess what that entails lmao), derse dreamer
(now these three are special bc saxton hale plays a god damn dead session like its nothing, whereas the admin & pauling play well after the guys started their session)
saxton hale - page of heart (pages create & heart is the power of uniqueness, & as such heā€™s literally epic tf2 australia incarnate), prospit dreamer
admin - lord of breath (commands freedom & thru it, basically she lets the tf2 men fuck around or restrains them as needed, & that works out), derse dreamer
miss pauling - muse of blood (enables bonds/through them, she keeps the team & company together !!), derse dreamer
END SPOILER IG
anyway uhhh
TLDR ? the tf2 guys find the Ruins that the Game Sends Back In Time so they can pretty much just. well. make the game ig.
the game usually sends back in time clones of the players meant to Actually Become them, but spoiler, here itā€™s not the case bc 1) sessions have a failsafe called scratching & the babies sent back in time deal is linked to that. but here they donā€™t use it so the game doesnā€™t make it. 2) it decides to instead force em to play the game by uhhhhh pretty much making scout go back in time to ensure mann co happens, also they went Wayyyyy back to make australium a thing. thereā€™s actually an entire subplot about how scout becomes spyā€™s dad (family trees inevitably get fucked up whenever sburb is involved, soz) & pretty much becomes this cool superspy that unknown to everyone actually is a time-traveller that works his ass off & loops again & again the same days so to basically be a one-man team, also he gets crippling anxiety
anyway,
overall plot is first they find the game & figure out slowly how it works thru building it & investigating its code & also by vibing at prospit & derse bc they slowly start to awaken their dream selves.
then they play it, entrance is chaos bc they have a bunch of future selves just walk in like ā€œhiā€ & helping them get in. after that they just play normally bc their future selves r back to their own present. a lot of drama happens linked to their powers forcing them to face massive personal problems of all kinds theyā€™ve been ignoring or couldnā€™t deal or whatever & also inevitable doomed timeline momences (tldr time in sburb is... 2 dimensional ? possibly 3 ? so you have the main, alpha timeline, & sub-timelines that are meant to dissappear but provide essential stuff for the progress of the main one), & also medic pretty much kills to god tier the entire team (basically ? thereā€™s fancy stone beds at prospit, derse, & ur own planet. if u die on top of em u become a god. yea)
once everyones at gtier & they /seem/ to have the frog, they do a littol trip to fuck around n find out & party during the entrance part thing
theyre back only to find out that oops i took creative liberties w sburb & the game was made harder to, like, accomodate for how theyre not a bunch of barely pubescent teenagers but trained military, & their planets all have a side B full of more quests they have to complete & their universe frog is in 2 parts so they have to breed a second one and THEN breed those to win.
during that second part they do all sorts of crazy shit & access ult tiers (the only good thing to come out of hs2 imho), scout fucks off to do his own setting up literally everything thing & also lord english (a nasty baddie from homestuck, heā€™s basically a guy that is hellbent on fucking around & fighting shit & is incredibly destructive) prods his nose in their session only to run away crying bc ult tier thief of time
then idfk maybe ill have an epilogue w them fucking around their new universe
i actually have written somewhere a summary of literally every arc, character-per-character thru the fic, but im gonna be real. its literally 3 times as long as this explanation.
so maybe ill post it if asked to (it needs touch ups so) but no promises. this is already a lot lmao
also i didnt spellcheck any of this so im sorry if theres typos, or frenglish lost in there

essek!!! honestly anything lol but maybe (i'll try to keep it vague for spoiler reasons) after ep 131 or ep 124, maybe a confession fic? if you aren't caught up just a general how a confession would go please! i love your writing and blog btw, all your caleb stuff is so šŸ‘ŒšŸ‘ŒšŸ‘Œ
Thank you for your request and yes I am caught up. I hope you enjoy this one.
Warning spoilers for Episode 124
Essekā€™s betrayal hit you hard. Sure youā€™d considered the possibility but being faced with that truth so upfront hurt, a lot. Youā€™d been able to avoid him for the longest of times thanks to the Nein being taken in different directions. You simply couldnā€™t face him. After the party in Nicordanas you put on a brave face and you agreed with Caleb wholeheartedly but you didnā€™t have the strength to say these words yourself. Any interaction you had between then and now had been cordial and straight to the point whereas before there were plenty of pleasantries, some flirting even and the realisation your flirting was rooted within your own feelings. Youā€™re a good enough people reader to know that his, at the very least were rooted in affection and before Nicodranas you might have seen a possible bright future for the both of you. Even after his betrayal was revealed your feelings remained but they were overshadowed by your pain. It felt like your heart was ripped from your chest.Ā 
The trust, kindness, his affections for you, were they all just something to be exploited in a bigger plot. He said at first he was using the Nein but he grew attached so had you just been a pawn in a bigger ploy he felt sorry for? So many questions you had asked yourself over the last weeks, months even at this point and none of them you dared to answer so you didnā€™t. You pushed them aside and moved on. You pushed Essek out of your mind because it was easier than dealing with the pain. Pushing something away only works for so long. Heā€™d come back into your life sooner rather than later. Aeor came closer in view and after the absolute shit show with the Tombtakers all of you were at your wits end. You didnā€™t want to pull anyone along into this chaos and especially not a certain wizard whoā€™s proven himself to be prone to his desires for pursuit of knowledge and power; a thing youā€™d be serving on a silver platter but you really had no better options at this point.
The closer to your destination you got the more closed off you became. Face devoid of emotion and voice monotone, direct and without a single break youā€™d begun to mentally prepare yourself for your upcoming encounter to the point where you were seriously considering you might actually prefer another encounter with the Tombtakers over facing Essek. Your gradual shift in behaviour must have caught some attention as you quickly had a Jester at your side attempting to make happy conversation and lift your spirit and provide distraction. You tried to play along but the pitying smile from Caleb told you about how good a job you were doing. Nevermind the tiefling never quit and you could appreciate that. Jester cares and you were hurting so she did whatever she could to make it better.Ā 
You eventually made it to the outpost and your ā€˜officialā€™ mode kicked in taking over for Beau when she started butchering Undercommon. You presented yourself with an air of authority and purpose and that seemed to do the job very well. And there he was in all his miserable glory putting on a similar face as yours. He was caught off guard by Jester running in and hugging him and while he looked at you his eyes quickly avoided. Even though the conversations that followed you had no problem looking at him, sure he could feel your eyes burning but your gaze remained cold and distant; the way he had seen you face an enemy and the way you study when in company you donā€™t trust, watching the danger like a hawk for every single twitch. In this conversation it was very clear he had a hard time keeping eye contact but he was straight up avoiding both you and Caleb and you could put two and two together; shame. He was ashamed of everything he did and caused that much was sure.Ā 
In a more private setting without the continuous presence of Dynasty soldiers the Nein told him everything that had occurred the past few weeks and slowly but surely his facade faltered, the gravity of the situation kicking in and him contemplating, taking in all the information you provided. You didnā€™t speak to him directly and only gave your input when it came to queries among the Nein having nothing to add directed at Essek.Ā 
ā€œIā€™ve spent so much of my life focussed on myself, my climb, all of my selfish needs. Iā€™ve never really been trusted and so I did not trust. And I never let anyone close. I have been clouded in my judgement many times for a lot of my life. When I- when you gave me trust, it gave me a perspective that was so agonisingly striking. So easy to see that I refused to acknowledge it at first, even. I would be lying if I said that our paths crossing hasnā€™t shaken me to the core and Iā€™m appreciative and thankful for this perspective, but you do not owe me trust for what Iā€™ve done.ā€ Those words hit hard and you found yourself biting down on your lip to prevent yourself from speaking. All the feelings you tried to push away so hard came back up and you were fighting to hold them at bay to prevent yourself from saying something youā€™d regret. Luckily the others jumped in allowing you to keep your silence.Ā 
The conversation continued and Caleb made some good points making sure to make eye contact with you every so often to make sure you were alright and in agreement. You were interrupted after the mentions of Dagen and some shouting outside. Youā€™d say you were surprised but really you werenā€™t though the sight of the man holding onto one of the Aurora Watch soldiers while presenting the letter he was told to deliver was quite the sight and made you quickly cover up a snort. Not quick enough apparently as some did catch on. Eventually back inside Jester began to insinuate Caleb should show the red eyes on his skin but you quickly shut that down, the first words you had spoken since you got here.
ā€œWhat are we talking about?ā€ Essek asks confused.Ā 
ā€œNothing you need concern yourself with.ā€ Your words were colder than you intended but got the message across clear it seemed. They quickly shifted the subject back to Lucien, Aeor, the Somnovum, Vess being indisposed, gathering further allies until you landed on possibly considering bringing Astrid and Eadwulf into this opposed to Trent himself it was revealed or more like confirmed Essek had had dealings with the man in the past, persuading you all not to go to the Assembly. And because Veth slipped up you had to come clean about Vessā€™ actual state; dead in the hands of Lucien who killed her without as much as the blink of an eye. You were very much aware he was on the brink of a mental breakdown and you couldnā€™t help but feel sorry for him.Ā 
Hot cocoa was passed around and you did not refuse Beauā€™s offer of a good pour of whiskey while the conversation continued in regards to the Beacons and some choice of words and theories around the Beacons that could be considered sacrilege among the Dynasty. You were planning out the delve into the ruins Essek suggesting it would be best to go your separate ways until you were ready to traverse Aeor. The conversation ends and you are about to go your separate ways bedding down for the night until you would travel to gather allies and supplies. Caleb stays at your side aware of how youā€™re handling things but he stops with you before you leave catching Essek by the forearm.Ā 
ā€œBreathe. Just.. breathe that fresh air mindful of the people about. Time. Time. Not weeks. Not years. It takes time.ā€ He was speaking to Essek but you knew the words were directed at you as well. For the first time you deliberately meet eyes looking over your shoulder as you join the rest of the Nein. You were lead to a reasonably sized room, small for all of you but much more preferable to the ice and snow outside. You take time to settle down and eventually sit down with Beau and Caleb.
ā€œI donā€™t trust any of this.ā€ You tell them hugging your knees to your chest.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m with you. Itā€™s just too much. Too many risks. To many cards not yet in play that could shake this whole game up.ā€ Beau agrees.Ā 
ā€œBut we have to make a choice and Essek is our safest and most certain bet. Every option is risky.ā€Ā  Caleb has a point and itā€™s one youā€™ve been using to justify and be at peace with all of this.Ā 
ā€œIā€™m afraid that heā€™s going to realise the pressure is too much and heā€™ll bolt. Or the Assembly catches up to him before we get back and theyā€™ll rat him out but my biggest concern right now is for the Tombtakers to travel faster than weā€™re expecting. What if they get here? Our advantage will be gone.ā€ The rest of the Nein having turned into the conversation had to agree with you there. If your or Essekā€™s enemies somehow got involved youā€™d be screwed.Ā 
ā€œYou got a point. So how do we solve this? Essek said itā€™s best to go our separate ways until we got our stuff sorted so we canā€™t really stick around and weā€™d still be traceable if we split up. Itā€™s a risk weā€™ll have to take as itā€™s the safest for both of us now.ā€ Beau contemplates trying to formulate a better plan. You already had a plan and you didnā€™t like it for one minute but it was all you got.
ā€œI know how we solve this. You give me the amulet and I stay behind. That way they canā€™t scry on me as long as Iā€™m here. They can scry on us when weā€™re together anyway and with only one amulet weā€™re not going to get very far. You gather everything we need, get whatever help we can get and come back here when youā€™re ready to leave.ā€ You can hardly believe your own mind could make the decision regardless of your personal opinions.Ā 
ā€œAnd youā€™re okay staying behind with Essek to keep an eye on him? What if Lucien and his gang shows up?ā€Ā 
ā€œBeau, Iā€™ll manage. My personal feelings donā€™t matter in the bigger picture for now. I can get over myself. As for the Tombtakers, Essekā€™s gonna be a fat load of good when he canā€™t use his magic. If they get here before you return Iā€™ll get him out of here and to Aeor myself if I have to. Canā€™t defeat them but I sure as hell can outrun them for a while.ā€ You assured them, a couple of nods and attempts to protest eventually resulted in the agreement. Youā€™d stay behind. One final rest and everyone would be finishing their unfinished business, say their goodbyes and hellos, get their closure and prepare for the worst. Yet you couldnā€™t see yourself anywhere but here. Sure you wanted to be there for your friends but they could do without you. You were needed here so maybe your own unfinished business had to conclude right here where you are.Ā 
You said your goodbyes and the Nein were off leaving you alone in the makeshift chamber. You inhale deeply and exhale slowly counting to ten in your head and leave the room. The back of your mind tells you this was a mistake and you definitely couldnā€™t do this but thereā€™s no way back now so you put on your brave face and make your way to Essekā€™s chambers. In front of the door you wait, count to ten again and put on your brave face before you knock on the door. The door swings open.
ā€œY/n. I was not expecting to see you. Please come in.ā€ He speaks glancing around you for any of the guard that could possibly hear him. The moment you force yourself to enter the door closes behind you and you can see him deflate just a little, all manner of composure dropping for a moment before he looks up at you from behind his desk. Up front he may appear composed once more but his eyes tell a different story. Panic, surprise, questions, fear and shame.Ā 
ā€œHave you come to say goodbye?ā€ A slight break of his voice at the last word. Oh Essek you really dropped the ball havenā€™t you, you think to yourself.Ā 
ā€œNo actually. I came to tell you the others have left and Iā€™ll be staying behind.ā€ He goes to protest getting up from his seat. Fear, concern and something you canā€™t identify peak through.Ā 
ā€œSo unless youā€™re planning to take me to wherever they have gone yourself resulting in you having to get back here with all the potential risks youā€™ve priorly described, Iā€™m staying here and thereā€™s nothing you can do about it so suck it up, darling.ā€ You mentally kick yourself for using that last word. You didnā€™t mean to but you slipped up falling back in old habits.Ā 
ā€œYouā€™re putting yourself at great risk by staying here so please let me take you back to the others.ā€ He comes closer to you and you stay your ground.Ā 
ā€œSorry. Not going to happen, Essek. Iā€™m staying. I canā€™t be scried upon so Iā€™ll be fine.ā€Ā 
ā€œThereā€™s many more dangers than the risk of being scried upon.ā€Ā 
ā€œWhich ones would you be referring to? The assassins after you? Or maybe the risk of you being discovered? The person who sent the assassins getting antsy and exposing you to the Dynasty?Being a traitor to your nation and a catalyst in a bigger plot you have no control over? The Tombtakers and their shenanigans? Literally anything to do with Aeor? The alleged death and or plotting of the demise of extremely powerful mages? Keeping secrets and being prepared to find or create a scapegoat to cover up the fact that the peace agreement between two nations which is already hanging by a single thread was based on the lies and deceit of another? Or perhaps itā€™s your uncanny ability to pursuit the path to your own destruction and your terrible sense of judgement and eye for consequences? Oh or maybe the fact that if we donā€™t stop all of this the world like we know it will possibly come to an end and weā€™ll could just end up dealing with yet another Calamity scale event? Take your pick because Iā€™m pretty sure Iā€™m already involved in what? All of them? But please be my guest and pick one!ā€ You lost all composure you had but the more you talk the more you realise you couldnā€™t keep all of this pent up. It does you no good.Ā 
ā€œMy apologies. I wonā€™t ask for your forgiveness as-ā€œ You cut him off. Youā€™re on a roll so youā€™re gonna get this over with while youā€™re at it; speak your mind openly without restrained.
ā€œYet you still have it! For some stupid reason I find it within myself to forgive you for all horrible thing youā€™ve done but the one; I canā€™t seem to get over the fact you betrayed my trust. That you didnā€™t trust me when it mattered and that I was nothing but a pawn in your game and you discarded the trust I put in you so easily.ā€ You can feel your voice crack multiple times throughout your words and you curse yourself for doing so. Essek looks at his feet lips tightly pushed together.Ā 
ā€œPerhaps my expectations were too high.ā€ You spat about to storm out of the room but the door remained closed.
ā€œEssek let me go.ā€ You glared at him. He couldnā€™t even give you that? A departure with dignity before you broke down?
ā€œYouā€™ve said your part I think itā€™s only fair I say mine. Though if you wish to leave I wonā€™t hold you here. Youā€™re free to set foot where you please. I know I have no right to but I ask only a moment.ā€ You brace yourself already mentally kicking yourself for coming to this decision so quickly and not even being able to tell yourself why you shouldnā€™t.
ā€œFine. Iā€™ll hear what you have to say.ā€ You cross your arms and take a few steps back in his direction.
ā€œFrom the moment Iā€™ve met you Iā€™ve been captivated by you but I simply couldnā€™t get over myself and admit to myself that maybe what Iā€™m doing isnā€™t worth the collateral. You made me feel guilt and regret but I pushed that aside because I there was no way back from what I had already set into motion. I meant what i said, I have grown attached to your little group and I would even go as far as to call them friends something I havenā€™t been able to call anyone. Not truly without ulterior motives. But youā€™ve always been something more. I know I will repent for my sins but I will not drag you down that path with me. I love you too much to allow that to happen. So I beg of you, do not put yourself at risk for my sake.ā€ Finally he looks at you without looking away or avoiding your direct gaze.Ā 
ā€œI refuse to let you become collateral in my actions. No matter how much I want you at my side I know you simply cannot be and I have come to accept that. Please grant me the dignity of excluding you from my own demise.ā€Ā 
ā€œWhat you want and what you get are two very different things Essek.ā€ You definitely heard the proclamation of love but it was said in the heat of the moment so you let it go for now choosing to ignore it.Ā 
ā€œBelieve me I am very much aware. Just as I am aware I have ruined what we had and perhaps even the chance of one day earning your love should you ever give it to me. While I may wish I could change the past I would never change meeting you and the moments we shared. The mere thought of your smile makes me feel a fraction of your warmth in this cold wasteland and I could die a happy man should it be the last thing I see. I believe my worst fear to have come true when it became clear I may never see that smile of yours again. I cannot deny my feelings for you so I wonā€™t and I will assure you I am honest and open when I say that I love you. Iā€™d rather say it now before we both walk into our deaths when we set foot in those ruins.ā€
ā€œI know I have no right to and I will admit I am a selfish man when I hope you will at least tell me that you might have shared my feelings were the circumstances different.ā€ His feet touch the ground and he studies you for any response but finds none.Ā 
ā€œYou are a fool. Hopeless. You are selfish and hardly ever look out for anyone but yourself. You would betray anyone if it were to further your own interests or save your own hide. Youā€™d sacrifice anything and anyone to get what you want, price be damned.ā€ You begin stepping closer to him and you can see him break just a little on the inside.
ā€œThatā€™s what I want to believe but I simply canā€™t. My own mind argues against all the things it reasonably tries to claim you to be. Yes you are a fool but you are also one of the cleverest and most intriguing people Iā€™ve ever met. Youā€™re not hopeless. You are selfish but your selfishness knows boundaries as displayed by your guilt and regret and shame. You would betray anyone but only if it meant you it allowed you to save what you care about and youā€™d sacrifice anything and everything to protect it. But I still wonder. Was it worth it? Making the choices you did was it worth putting yourself in this place?ā€Ā 
ā€œNo. Most of the results while desired were not worth the cost.ā€ Again the guilt and shame rises.Ā 
ā€œThen you have learned. So I will give you what you need; my honestly. We both know that these flirtations weā€™ve had are more than just that. Back then I could have seen a future where you and I could have had something beautiful but I will also admit I have not seen the same thing ever since our last meeting. I do not see a future not because my feelings for you have disappeared but simply because it is unpredictable. Itā€™s fickle much like the Dunamancy you study. And thatā€™s exactly how a future should be, right? Uncertain and unpredictable. What weā€™re walking into is just that. So if we do make it out alive Iā€™m sure that future will be much clearer once weā€™re no longer on the brink of destruction.ā€ You step up close enough and put a hand on his cheek making him look you in the eye.
ā€œI donā€™t understand.ā€ He begins.
ā€œLet me spell it out for you.ā€ You move your lips closer to his and when he doesnā€™t pull away you place your lips on his in a chaste kiss.Ā 
ā€œDo you get it now?ā€ You say as you pull apart.Ā 
ā€œI think I may need another explanation to make sure I caught that right.ā€ He stumbles a faint blush creeping onto his cheeks so you oblige and kiss him again.Ā 
ā€œI love you.ā€ You say leaning your forehead against his.Ā 
ā€œI love you too.ā€ Both of you laugh taking in the craziness of the situation. You went from being upset to arguing to honesty and a confession of love. This truly must be something recorded in some romance novel in Jesterā€™s collection. Ridiculous but true.
ā€œYou may be a fool Essek Thelyss, but you are my fool and donā€™t you forget.ā€Ā
