re: Yugo I also wish he would let Rin at his hair it sucks to draw accurately </3. Also! ✖Æ☼ for Ruri (sorry obsessed with Arc V rn)

Oh it's bird girl time! Also you are completely okay lmao, I also qualify as obsessed I think

Angry: Okay, Ruri feels like the type of person who when she gets mad, she doesn’t actually say anything to the person that she’s mad at, she just kinda internalizes it because she doesn’t want to cause a scene and make things awkward for everyone else, so she typically laughs off whatever was said that upset her while staying quietly mad all night until she forgets about it. She’s bad at confrontation and definitely cries when she’s really upset at someone, which in turn embarrasses her because she’s not sad! She’s mad! Why is she crying! It doesn’t make sense and she hates that she does this.

Shopping: Ruri loves to shop for her friends more than anything. She always ends up picking up some little trinket for Shun or Yuto or Saya that makes her think of them, or maybe some card sleeves she thinks they’d like, so she’s constantly gifting people for no reason other than she was thinking of them c:  When it comes to herself, Ruri’s the type of person that loves buying cute things from the crafts section, regardless of whether or not she actually knows how to make anything with the things she ends up buying (buttons, ribbons, patches, etc), but I’m sure she eventually learns at some point just because she wants to be able to make something neat out of all these things.

Childhood: Ruri feels like the kind of younger sibling who’d always want to be doing things with her older brother because she looked up to him and thought he was cool, which would sometimes result in situations where Shun would say something like “I don’t know, we’re gonna be doing x thing so I’m not sure you would like it,” and whatever it was, no matter how unfamiliar Ruri was with it or how much it might not actually be her style, she’d always say “That’s okay! I wanna play too!” She was too determined to not be left out of the fun, so whether it was playing in the dirt, sports, or fighting video games, Ruri would always tag along to give it a try, which would often times lead to pretty funny results anytime Shun was playing with other boys. There’d be this soft, sweet looking girl following them around, and they’d all assume that she’d want to leave anytime play got a little rough, but she surprises them all by being just as willing to tackle an older kid as the rest of them, so Ruri quickly becomes an honorary boy and a welcome addition to the group.

Movie Night

Valentine's fluff starter for @mobiustheribbonfighter

Valentine's Day was supposed to be for couples. Zaria knew that well even though it wasn't something they celebrated much growing up. Though Kári liked to do a little something for Enya every year, and she reciprocated in her own subtle way, it was never a big holiday for any of them. Even though she knew this, however, after everything that had happened in the last few months, she just couldn't stand the thought of leaving Lucas anywhere.

It wasn't that she didn't trust anyone with him, she trusted both their families with his life, but she didn't want to spend any time without him there if she could help it. Zaria didn't ask Shay's opinion but she was sure he would agree. He was having an even harder time than her trying to cope with it all.

With the DVD securely in the DVD player, she moved back to the couch. Curling up next to Shay, she pulled their son into her lap, wrapping both arms around his belly as he laid back against her. A smile instantly played at her lips.

"Are you guys ready?" she asked, looking to each of her boys in turn. "You've got all your snacks and everything?"

Lucas nodded eagerly, his mouth too full of heartshaped cookies to really form words. That didn't stop him from trying but whatever he said, it was completely incoherent.

‘Come Home’

A TommyInnit & Clingyduo Fic ahead of the final showdown tomorrow - spoilers for today’s (19th) Tommy stream.

tw for events of Exile Arc (skippable if you miss out the entire middle section of the fic, marked by three dashes on their own separate line)

The rush, the high. He’s been chasing this feeling since forever. It’s not a perfect replacement for the real thing, which he hasn’t felt in such a long time. It’s not a fluttering but an explosion, not the strumming of the guitar but the crash of the drums, not the rain but the thunder and lightning, though even that’s become fraught for him recently. He remembers the last time, a wonderful five minutes sandwiched by pain and chaos and destruction. His best friend standing on a stage, new leader of L’Manberg. A fresh start, the promise of peace and prosperity for all around them. But then it was all over, all brought down so quickly. The Tommy that cheered at his best friend’s inauguration is unrecognisable now.

But Tubbo is not, and between the scars and the new outfit and all the words, both spoken and unsaid, it’s still them. Tommy tastes the potion they’ve just made and hears his best friend’s laughter, and if he closes his eyes, he can pretend for a few fleeting seconds that nothing has changed at all. If he opens his eyes, he’ll be back in the camarvan, and Wilbur will walk in through the door with more blaze rods and laugh at the two of them and ruffle his hair. The discs will be in his ender chest if he wants to listen to one with Tubbo. There’s a lake outside the door and a forest and a whole wide world to explore, and Tommy’s only worry is that Punz will yell at him if he sees him for having a ‘Fortnite build battle on his front lawn’ a little while ago. He opens his eyes and then takes another swig of potion to dampen his disappointment.

“Aye careful,” Tommy’s vaguely aware of Tubbo pulling the bottle away from his face before he accidentally upends it on himself. “Don’t want you looking like Sapnap earlier.” Tubbo’s grin is brighter than the sun on snow. “I have no idea what was happening with Cracknap other than he still needs help.” Tubbo’s laughter is soft, “He’s not the only one anymore.”

“Too shay.”

They drift upstairs, and then eventually out the door. It’s around 3 o’clock in the afternoon, and there are clouds drifting on the edge of the horizon. They’re dark and heavy-looking, but for now too far away to block the pale winter sunlight keeping the outside temperature a stubborn 10 degrees C. “I should go back to Snowchester.” Tubbo looks restless as they step onto the Prime Path. Tommy knows the feeling. Suddenly tomorrow can’t come soon enough.

“You’ll come back though, right? Tonight, one last ride?” They embrace, squeezing tightly as Tubbo hums an agreement. “Of course. One last ride.” And then they withdraw, and Tubbo gives a small wave as he disappears down the hill towards his highway, and Tommy watches him go. And when he finally looks up, alone with his thoughts once more, he realises he is leaning on the back of his bench; here again, always retreading the same ground. He briefly entertains the idea of putting on a disc and staying a little while, but he doesn’t have any music to live up to the occasion. Not Far, nor Pigstep or Wait, and he still hasn’t sorted out his complicated feelings over his version of Blocks. Besides, he still has things to sort out before the showdown. He walks away to prepare, humming Mellohi lightly as he goes.

---

‘Home’ is a fraught word for Tommy now. Every home the boy has had in this land is either steeped in blood and bad memories, or blown to bits beyond repair. Somedays Tommy wakes up alone and forgets that L’Manberg was wiped off the map, and it comes as a nasty shock when he rounds the corner by his home to see a crater that stretches all the way down to bedrock. Pogtopia never really felt like home, but it was bad enough when it was only soulless stone walls and bashing your head on the lanterns hanging from the ceiling that its inhabitants and visitors had to contend with. After the Manberg Festival, there was an entire room in there that’s sole purpose was to remind Tommy that he didn’t save his friend and couldn’t have if he’d tried, dried blood on the walls and all. Then there's the fact that it’s practically server tradition at this point: if you want to send TommyInnit a message, leave it on signs in his house. Don’t forget to blow up the house first though! Tommy forgets how many times he’s had to put his abode back together; probably about as many times as he’s had to reconstruct himself.

That leaves Logstedshire. Sometimes he agrees with himself that that place doesn’t deserve to be considered a home of his. He sure as hell didn’t want to live there, barely survived his stay, and the place is mostly blown up, the awful icing on the dreadful cake that was his second exile from L’Manberg. He supposes it could be considered weird that he finds himself stepping down a path he never wanted to walk again, but today… Today is about closure. And if he can look Technoblade in the eyes with a belt-full of potions stolen from his chests, he’s brave enough to face his fears in Logsted. As he arrives at the portal, he hesitates, his gaze drifting away from the swirling purple and to the bubbling orange, much further below. So many times has he been here, only then his mind was a much worse thing to own, a clouded mass of hateful thoughts, most of them not his own. Where the bridge meets thin air there are patches of a shimmering wind where the heat takes the place of the nothingness, and if he squints Tommy can imagine himself standing on the edge, wondering what would happen if he'd just let go. He’s glad now that he was in the Overworld when he made the pillar, even if it seemed like he had nowhere to go.

Logstedshire is haunted, even more so than the Nether path. It’s exactly how Tommy remembers it: the broken Nether portal missing a single piece of obsidian, the craters untouched, the pillar still stretching skyward. He can see himself again; on the beach, repairing the chests, standing at the top of the tower. It’s like being in a haunted house where all the ghosts are yourself. But Tommy isn’t afraid. The ‘Drista’ sign makes him laugh, the ocean where he’d wake up drowning (trying to make it home to where? A country that no longer exists) gets a small wave, even the pillar gets a smile, because he’s here to look at it from the ground. It was a bad time in his life - possibly the worst -  but he made it out the other side. And that’s what matters.

There are some craters though, some specific memories that Tommy can’t face yet. The smiling mask of the green man, snatching items out of Tommy’s hands to then force him to watch as he blew them to bits. How he specifically said “I want you to watch.” when he blew up everything Tommy and Ghostbur had managed to scrape together for themselves out there alone. The two-by-two hole in the centre of the largest crater, and how just glancing at it summons Dream’s voice to his mind, taunting him as he grabbed him by the front of his already ripped shirt and hoisted him over the short drop, “Why don’t you get in the hole, Tommy?”

Those still sting. There’s a reason, he supposes, why Wilbur went mad after losing L’Manberg. Why he asked Philza to kill him instead of facing the wreckage all around. But Tommy refuses to be just another repeat of history. Tommy looks into the pit made by Dream’s TNT where scraps of happiness were burned, and he spits at it.

No more.

TommyInnit heads home.

---

Hours pass. Tubbo returns from Snowchester soaked through to the skin but smiling. Tommy helps him peel off several layers of frozen clothing (he decides not to ask in regards to the hazmat suit), finding out that the nukes project is going well but they are presented with the usual issues of living in a frozen tundra: cold.

After Tubbo’s showered and changed, they share a dinner giggling about really dumb topics like Tommy pulling a fast one on Technoblade, Jack Manifold being weird and unhelpful again, and good old GeorgeNotFound. The hours fly by, and it's much later that they’re getting ready for bed when the heavens finally open, and the sound of a heavy downpour seeps in through the cracks of Tommy’s dirt house. Tommy can feel the smile crossing his face until he remembers his house is a dirt shack at present, and mud houses aren’t generally known for being the most watertight. Tubbo gets a good laugh out of his expression when he comes bustling down the stairs dragging his bed behind him, crying out, “Our clothes! Beds! Tubbo-” Their plans changed and they put their beds in the storage room, the room voted Least Likely To Have a Leak by a grand majority of two. The sound of the rain is somehow less muffled down there, and it clatters against the ceiling almost melodically.

Tommy picks up the crossbow from the pile of clothes and other bits and bobs he grabbed from upstairs when the downpour started. ‘Chekhov's Gun’. Wilbur’s gun. As in, actual Alivebur’s weapon, from before he blew up L’Manberg. It feels heavy in his hands. Too heavy. Wilbur’s voice echoes through his head, not the usual line he hears in his nightmares, but similar. 

“You’re never going to be president, Tommy.”

It doesn’t hurt anymore. Wilbur gave him that choice, and he declined. He wonders, with a certain detachment, how it all would’ve turned out if he’d chosen to take the presidency. He certainly wouldn’t have exiled Tubbo.

Tubbo, who’s looking at him with a lopsided grin, standing by his bed and holding his covers aloft, one leg already in bed. It seems like an invitation. “You alright?” Tommy nods and sets down the crossbow and clothes on top of one of the chests, “Yeah… Goodnight Tubs.”

“Goodnight Tommy.”

In the split second before either of them can commit to getting into bed, Tommy hears Wilbur again. This time though, he doesn’t mock him, nor does he sound too far gone to be saved. This iteration of Wilbur Soot wears a captain’s hat instead of a beanie, and speaks with soft conviction, and puts his hands on Tommy’s shoulders like he can shield the teen from the choice that he’s made.

“I want you to do whatever your heart says you should do.”

“Tubbo wait,” Tommy catches his best friend by the arm. Two pairs of blue eyes meet briefly as Tommy pulls him into a hug, putting one hand on the back of Tubbo’s head and messing with the hairs at the nape of his neck. Tubbo’s surprise doesn’t last long, and he hugs back, burying his face in Tommy’s shoulder and balling Tommy’s shirt into his fists. Tommy breathes a deep sigh, trying to make the moment last, but knowing no one lives forever. Eventually they split, and Tommy ruffles Tubbo’s hair as they grin at each other with tired eyes and heavy limbs. “Okay, goodnight Tubbo.”

The older boy in question takes two steps back and sits down on his bed, shuffling back quickly and holding the covers open, smiling invitingly. “Tommy,” His voice sounds like honey, so sickly-sweet it shouldn’t be nice, but is. There’s also a heavy undertone of teasing going on to start with, but it becomes more genuine suddenly. “Come home.” And Tommy understands and climbs in beside him, and they tease each other for being clingy and sappy as they try to get comfortable, and then they quiet to the odd remark as they find the right place, Tubbo’s head resting on Tommy’s collarbone, their arms wrapped around each other and Tommy’s head leaning on Tubbo’s. Tubbo drops off first, and Tommy is waiting in the noisy quiet for sleep to claim him too, listening to the rain pattering on the roof and his friend’s breathing beside him. And in the quiet, he realises a couple things.

He realises he rather likes the rain without the thunder, and that maybe the guitar is better than the drums, and that the fluttering in his chest is more uplifting than the explosion of a vibrant heart. It’s not the triumphant high he’s been chasing. It’s quieter, it’s comforting, it’s a warm feeling in his whole being. It’s just as good as the victorious moment. It’s perfect.

The second thing he realises is that he’s been wrong since the beginning. Home was never Logstedshire or Pogtopia, but neither was it L’Manberg or even the building they’re currently in. Home was the togetherness L’Manberg brought, sitting around a campfire singing the national anthem and putting more effort into the ‘fuck Eret’ part every time it came around. Home was listening to Wilbur’s guitar echoing through the caverns at Pogtopia and complaining about eating Technoblade’s potato stew for the third day running while your comrades laughed. Home is right here, wrapped in the arms of your favourite person, belly full of good food, listening to the rain as sleep slowly takes you. He sees that now.

TommyInnit is home.

Zaria and Shay

Zaria's eyes narrowed despite her earlier show of joy, her lips pressing into a hard line as her gaze moved up and down his body. The injuries he had sustained was unmissable and it would be her job now to care for them. As she undid the bandage wrapped around his arm, ignoring the sickening stench of blood that filled her nostrils, she made it very clear what she felt about his reckless notion to kill Aris without her.

"That was stupid, Shay! You could have been killed. And to leave me at home to sit and worry? Bullshit," she hissed. "I'm your biggest ally against him, the only real defense. I know you've read the damn prophecy. What made you think that was okay?"

She gave a heavy sigh, one hand moving to gesture outward, a wave of dismissal. "You know what? Don't answer that. Just promise me you'll never leave again. I can't handle this a second time. I really can't."

[secretswritteninink-a]

Kissed - Shay and Zaria

The recliner was barely big enough for the both of them, but that didn’t seem to matter to Zaria when she climbed into Shay’s lap, her knees straddling his legs. She had just put Lucas down for bed after he had fallen asleep on the couch with her to the lulling sounds of a kid’s movie. It had been a particularly good night for all of them, following the events of Lucas’ second birthday. 

Her hands rested against his chest as she leaned down to press a kiss to his forehead. It lasted only a second and when she pulled away again, she was smiling. “I think today went very well,” she said. 

[secretswritteninink-a]

“Make Me Feel” - Shay and Zaria

65. my muse finds yours having a mental breakdown

The sound of violent sobs seemed to waft through the house like a banshee's cries, easily waking Zaria from her already feeble sleep. At first, her sleep addled brain connected the sound to Lucas. He had been waking up lately in tears himself, but as Zaria slowly woke all the way, she realized that this sound was too deep, too grown up. Eyebrows knitting together in concern, she quickly slipped out of bed and padded against the cold wooden floor.

The house was still pitch black and Zaria wondered how late it was and if Shay had ever followed her to bed. Probably not. After what had happened, they had all been struggling to do simple things like sleep. But where Zaria and Lucas tried, Shay tended to sit up for hours. Even when Zaria practically begged for him to come to bed with her.

She followed the warm glow of the fire to the living room where she found the source of the noise in her husband, just as she suspected. "Shay?" she questioned as she slowly moved forward, her hands moving to rest gently against his forearms to gain his attention.

[secretswritteninink-a]

“was it ... something i did…?” - Shay to Zaria

Zaria ran her hand back through her hair, the motion conveying just how irritated she was, if irritation was the right emotion. Distressed certainly worked just as well. Blue-green eyes met his and just as quickly flitted away again.

"No...I just...Shay, we can't do this...you have to see that, right?" she asked. There was something almost like desperation in her voice, as though she needed him to see her view, to agree with you. "You have to see that too! You can't not!"

In truth, she didn't want to do this anymore than he did but...at this point, it was necessary. Zaria was doing nothing but putting him in danger. Her very prescence in his life was a huge risk he obviously didn't understand. After all, if he did, he would have left her a long time ago.

[secretswritteninink-a]

“All I want for Christmas is you.” - Shay to Zaria

A quiet laugh bubbled up from inside her as Zaria shook her head. The statement was rather clichéd but she found it endearing nonetheless. Her eyes turned to him as she placed the finishing touch - a bright red bow - on the gift she was wrapping for Lucas. It was quickly moved to the floor beside her, placed on top of several other gifts for their son.

"Well then," she said, the teasing tone of her voice made quite obvious, "I guess you're going to be disappointed. Or should I just take the really amazing gift I bought you back?"

[secretswritteninink-a]

💕 - Shay and Zaria

There was a moment, a single moment, after Shay had grabbed her, pulling her close, that Zaria's laughter rang through the little house. It was quickly silenced, however, when he pressed his lips to hers and she melted into the feeling of bliss the simple gesture brought about in here. Her body matched the curve of his as she pressed herself closer, her hands lingering at her sides for only a moment before coming up to rest against his own.

When she broke away, she offered another bright smile, her hands moving up to cup his jaw and pull him back into her. Her eyes fluttered shut the moment they were brought together again, hands sliding from his face to his chest. Whatever had been on her mind before seemed to suddenly vanish, replaced by only him and the space shared between them.

☕ – Shay and Lucas

Hot chocolate for breakfast was a very rare treat, one reserved only for holiday seasons when Zaria left the boys home alone to do her holiday shopping. It was always an all-day affair, which meant that the boys were left to their own devices, unhindered by the rules she put in place. And, as they say, when the cat's away the mice will play.

Lucas was still in his night clothes, blue footie pajamas with the face of a monster on the front, and his giggling permeated the air as he toddled around his father's feet. As soon as they were in the kitchen, he climbed one of the chairs at the bar, standing and leaning across the counter to watch his father's every move.

"I want marshmallows and whipped cream and cinnamon and peppermint!" he announced, his excitement clear even in his voice.

[secretswritteninink-a]

❄ – Shay and Audrey

Audrey had been really hoping they would find their way back home before the holidays. Christmas was always a family affair. Her entire extended family always met up at their house for the day, some for the whole week, and even Damien deemed it important enough to emerge from the dark recesses of his bedroom, however reluctantly. But now, as she watched the first snowflakes fall from the sky, she knew that wouldn't happen.

The cold chill of the weather hadn't even seemed to affect Audrey's perpetually jovial mood, even when it sunk cold enough that she was forced to rely on the fire and magic for warmth in place of her incredibly inadequate clothing. However, it seemed the moment the snow began to fall, any hope or joy she had been holding onto seemed to disappear. As another violent shiver coursed through her, and she moved a little closer to the fire, it seemed as though she might even start to cry.
