Two years ago there was a wonderland of ice on the stream. It may look like this next week. There’s a cold snap on the way.

Being the princess betrothed to barbarian!Bakugo.

You don't mind so much as you've always known this was to be your destiny, born merely to smooth over tensions between the kingdom and the country.

But your first meeting is hardly from ideal. The man shoves himself into your dressing room in trying to avoid the grooming his own mother is trying to give him, desperate to get away from the egregious, stifling rules the castle enforces regarding presentation, mainly putting on a shirt.

(He was born of his own parent's desire, but volunteered himself to save the country from annihilation via. industrialization, NOT realizing it would involve marriage. He's much less thrilled than anyone.)

And there you are, being (forcibly) sewed up into a corset that you're absolutely spilling over, your face matted from a layer of unnatural-colored powder, your lips stained the color of fruit that doesn't blossom for months as you turn to look at him in surprise (and then fear, and then confusion and question, your maids squealing before running off to get a guard)...

And Bakugo is suddenly made aware of this itching desire to save you, too.

-

(You're standing there, both breathless and bare; him voluntarily, you because of timing. And it's so oddly intimate for separate reasons; Bakugo's never associated nudity with sexuality and you've never been naked in front of a man before.

And despite the betrothal, neither of you know what to say, stuck in the midst of an "is this it?" moment, at least until Bakugo is grabbing your hand to whisk you away and marry you where he was born rather than in between castle walls.)

So uh. My freelance work here is kind of dying.

I thought i'd keep my long-term followers on the know-how, so i might as well write about my current circumstances here, give y'all an update, so to speak.

So, for several reasons, most of them not even my fault, i've been getting less and less commissions, almost none, actually, and the ones i get are usualy on the cheaper side, which is bad concidering that this is my livelihood, commission money pays my bills, my groceries, and my taxes, and now i sure as hell am strugling to imagine this will sustain me for long. Twitter is a sinking ship ever since elon went over, Specificaly for people like me. I had just broken into 12k followers there, a huge milestone for me, and then i got shadowbanned, and for the last few months i've gotten *nothing*. It's completely dead, i'm stagnated there, all my arts are censored, and there's no way for me to undo it or fix it, and so i've gotten less and less comms out there, which sucks because its the only reason i was even on that stupid site. Here on tumblr, meanwhile, the CEO went on a massive transphobic streak, and a lot of lgbt folk (which composed a lot of my following,) decided to jump ship, and i sure as hell dont blame them, but sadly that's more potential costumers that bailed, and there's no proper website to go to. Anywhere i'd go, i'd be starting from scratch again, which would be utterly disheartening and frustrating, and there no website that is kind to artists, with no algorythim, that also have a messaging system (the latter being ESSENTIAL to the way i do comms) So i'm kind of stuck. I just. have nowhere to go, and nothing to do. And last but not least, my own fault, I've just been drawing and creating what *I* specificaly want, on an hedonistic streak this year. That's why theres so much pony bs on this blog now, and why i was straight up posting poetry a while back, and have written hundreds upon hundreds of fanfiction pages in the last few months; Which, unfortunately, is a terrible business decision if your intent is making money. Which I surely should have prioritized, but in the end, its not up to me, its up to the costumers... So now i'm a bit stuck. I've enjoyed the things ive drawn and written more than anything i've ever done, and yet, i've never been less successful on the actual business side. I'm still considering my venues, my possibilities, but there's not many. Trying to get a job would certainly pull me away from creation, and i'd hate it regardless of what it was, and on another venue, theres no guarantee that going back to furry titties would bring me money.

and that's whats heartbreaking about it too. no matter how much effort i put on my work, theres no guarantee of sucess, so why even spend time trying to craft a masterpiece? why not just follow trends and make a tiktok account or whatever the fuck makes money these days. I'd rather not, frankly. And i wont. Well, that's about it. Thanks for reading this update, that's how my life is goin atm. i'm going to continue doing as i am right now, but yknow... I'm not sure what i should do, if you want to give me suggestions, feel free.

could I ask about either soulmate AU or fantasy AU with Kid, whichever one is more interesting for you? :O thank you!!

Oooh I love both the AUs

Soulmate AU with Kid:

-:- Childhood friends - kind of. You and Kid were in the same grade, in the same school. Your brother Wire was one his friends, though Wire, Heat and Killer were all older than you.

-:- People earned their Soul Marks when they came of age, which was apparently 16 as far as the fates were concerned. Marks would match with your soul mate, but they were so complex, and sometimes in embarrassing places, so people wouldn't realize they were matches until they made physical contact.

-:- You and Kid weren't so lucky though.

-:- You'd been at each other's throats since you were 4 and 5, and the rivalry never ended. You fought physically, verbally, and in any ways made available. you were the top two students in your classes by sheer spite, constantly trying to out do the other.

-:- 10 years you never got along.

-:- Kid got his first, coming into school with two jagged lines down the side of his face. He loved it, said it made him look like more of a bad ass, and it was one of the most easily recognizable marks someone could have. You said of course it was so obvious, a gear-head like him would need something that beats him over the head to get it.

-:- You woke up with yours later and didn't know what to do.

Two jagged lines slipped over your face. It wasn't grotesque, it looked kind of cool, actually, but you were already panicking internally. You knew these marks. Knew these exact shapes.

You'd seen them on Kid's face, and you remember being strangely angry about it. You'd cried after school, the whole weekend you stay locked in your room. Everyone got marks, but the idea that someone else would be so important to him. You fought, you argued, you competed, but you were always in one another's live, even if it was as enemies, you didn't want someone else to come along.

And no one else had.

Standing in the hallway outside class, you watched the cocky grin slip off his face as he turned to look at you. Confusion at first, panic next - you'd seen your own face go through the emotions earlier.

He reaches out to you, electricity zipping through you both at the contact and he pulls you in close, a desperate, heated hug. You can feel his heart racing as he holds you to his chest.

"Heh, seems like I win." He says, voice soft and just for you.

"What are you talking about?" You murmur, unable to think what it was that you were both competing for now.

"I got you, Mouse, what else do I need?"

Send me a character and an AU and I'll give you a treat.
