Divider by @yoonitos

“Babe! They’re here!” Drew calls out from the front door, his voice brimming with excitement. You quickly make your way downstairs, your face lighting up with a broad smile. Today, you and Drew are babysitting his niece, Liliana, while Mackayla and Garrett enjoy a much-needed day together.

“Hi!” you greet Mackayla warmly, pulling her into a tight hug. “Thank you for letting us look after her,” you say, your voice filled with genuine gratitude. Mackayla giggles, hugging you back. “I know how much you love looking after her. Plus, Drew mentioned you were missing her more than usual these past few weeks.”

You glance at Drew, who’s smiling at himself. “Garrett is just getting her from the car. She fell asleep as soon as we started driving,” Mackayla explains, looking back at the vehicle. Drew steps closer, wrapping his arm around your waist and planting a gentle kiss on the side of your head.

Moments later, Garrett comes into view, carefully walking up the steps with Liliana fast asleep in her capsule. He approaches with a quiet smile, trying not to disturb the sleeping baby. Drew reaches out and gently takes the capsule from Garrett, cradling it with care. “Thanks again for agreeing to do this,” Mackayla says, her smile broadening as she looks at both of you.

“Of course! You know Drew and I are always here if you need someone to look after her,” you reply, your voice warm and reassuring. Mackayla pulls you into another hug, her appreciation clear. “You guys have fun!” you call out as she and Garrett begin to walk back to their car, waving at the two of you.

“She awake yet?” Drew asks as he enters the living room, pulling on his shirt. “Yeah,” you reply, smiling down at Liliana who is standing on your thighs, her tiny hands gripping your fingers for balance. Her wide smile mirrors your own, and her eyes light up at the sight of her uncle.

“Look, who’s that?” you say, pointing to Drew as he approaches. Liliana’s face lights up even more, and she starts squealing with delight, her excitement contagious. “Hi baby,” Drew grins, putting his hands out to her. Liliana leans eagerly into him, her little arms reaching out.

Drew scoops her up effortlessly, bringing her close and planting a kiss on her cheek. She giggles, her small hands patting his face as she snuggles into him. Drew looks at you, his eyes shining with happiness. “She’s so happy to see her uncle,” you say, watching the sweet interaction between them.

“She’s my favorite little girl,” Drew replies, bouncing her gently in his arms. “Did you have a good nap, Liliana?”Liliana babbles happily in response, her bright eyes taking in everything around her. Drew laughs, his heart clearly full as he holds her close.

“I got the bags ready, and her stroller is already in the car,” you say, grabbing the car keys from the kitchen counter. You glance at your phone, where the weather app is open, showing the perfect temperature for Charleston. “The weather is perfect today,” you add, looking up with a smile.

“Let’s go then,” Drew smiles. “You excited, Lili?” he asks, turning his head to look at Liliana in his arms. She grins widely, clapping her hands with glee, making you giggle at her infectious enthusiasm.

“Here, I’ll put her in her car seat,” you offer, taking Liliana gently into your arms. She coos happily, her little hands reaching out to touch your face as you head outside. Drew follows, locking the door behind you and grabbing Liliana’s bag.

You carefully secure Liliana in her car seat, ensuring the straps are snug but comfortable. She looks up at you with wide, curious eyes, her smile never fading. Drew places her bag in the backseat before getting into the drivers seat. He adjusts the rearview mirror to get a better look at his niece, “All good?” He says to you as you put on your seatbelt, “Yep.”

As Drew drives into Charleston, you both glance back a few times, smiling as you watch Liliana’s wide, curious eyes take in every building and tree that passes by. Her excitement is palpable, her little hands occasionally pointing at something that catches her attention.

“You think we need the stroller? I can always just use the baby carrier,” Drew suggests as you carefully lift Liliana out of her capsule. “Whatever feels more comfortable for you, babe,” you reply, glancing at Drew with a reassuring smile as he retrieves the baby carrier from the back and packs it into your bag.

Arriving at your favorite café, you and Drew walk in together, Liliana balanced comfortably on your hip. Drew pauses to chat briefly with one of the staff members, arranging for a table outside.

Liliana squirms with excitement, her eyes wide as she takes in the surroundings. You settle into your seats, Liliana comfortably sat on Drew’s lap as you both look at the menu.

“Want some table water?” Drew asks as he stands up to go place the order. “Yes please,” you grin, feeling Liliana’s little hand wrap around your thumb as you gently bounce your leg up and down to keep her entertained.

While Drew is away, you take a few photos with Liliana, capturing her adorable expressions and joyful demeanor. As you’re admiring the pictures, you notice a group of teenage girls across the street. They clearly recognize you and Liliana, excitedly pointing their phones in your direction.

“Hi y/n!” they call out enthusiastically, prompting you to wave and smile back at them. Liliana lifts her small hand, joining in the wave, which elicits delighted squeals from the girls. Just then, Drew returns with the water. “Who are you waving at-” he begins to ask before he sees the group.

You chuckle as smiles, and he waves back at the girls. Their squeals of excitement make both of you giggle. “Do you wanna go thrifting after this?” You say to Drew as you cut up a small piece of your pancakes and feed it to Liliana. “Yeah, why not,” He smiles, watching you and his niece interact, quickly snapping a pic of the two of you.

~

With Liliana snug against Drew in her baby carrier, you walked to your favorite vintage thrift store, occasionally stopping for photos with fans along the way. Inside, the elderly lady behind the counter greeted you warmly.

“Well, aren’t you an adorable family,” she smiled. “Oh, she’s-” you began, but Drew interjected with a gracious smile, “Thank you.” You exchanged a glance with Drew, both amused and touched by his charm. Turning back to the lady, you smile.

“Let me know if you guys need a hand with anything!” she called cheerfully as you and Drew looked around at the assortment of vintage items. “Will do, thanks,” you replied, your voice tinged with gratitude.

The day continued with shopping in Charleston—Drew spoiling Liliana as always—and a visit to the beach at sunset. The moment she was strapped into her capsule, she fell asleep and you made sure to snap a photo to send to Mackayla.

When you arrived home, Drew decided to let Liliana continue her sleep on his chest while you prepared dinner. The house was quiet and calm until the doorbell rang and your phone buzzed. You pouted at Drew, saddened that it was time for Liliana to go home. Drew chuckled softly, carefully rising from the couch with his niece still asleep against him.

“Hey,” you greeted as you opened the door to find Mackayla and Garrett standing there. “How was your guys’ day?” you asked, stepping aside to let them in. As you all settled on the couch, Mackayla began sharing the details of their day, and Liliana ended up resting on your chest as you listened.

“Did you guys want some dinner before you leave? I made a lot tonight,” you offered, hoping to extend Liliana’s visit. Drew chuckled, knowing you were making excuses to keep her longer, and Mackayla caught on too.

“Thanks for the offer, but we already ate,” Mackayla giggled as she stood up to retrieve her daughter. You turned away playfully, a mischievous grin spreading across your face while Drew struggled to contain his smile.

After a few moments of playful evasion, you finally gave in and handed Liliana back to her mother. “Promise you’ll come back soon!” you called out as Mackayla placed Liliana in her car seat.

“Promise!” Mackayla replied with a smile. Drew draped his arm around your shoulder, and you both waved as they drove away.

When are we gonna get the catnip episode (pose)

The aliens- “catnip”

[I’m letting you know rn that I have never taken an edible so if this is shit you know why, most of this I’m basing on a friend]

“I’m backkk” watermelon come through the ship’s entrance holding bags

“Nice, did you get my stuff?” Garden asked, peeking in the doorway, reader standing behind them curious as well.

He pulls out a book and a small bag of brownies. “A smutty romance book for my freak” he hands them a book.

“Yes!” They left for the living room

“And you” he rips the top off and hands them a small brownie. “Wow thanks one brownie, just what I wanted”

“Don’t give me that attitude, it said not to give a human more than one at a time”

Reader tops it into their mouth with a glare “tastes weird” they said as they chew.

“Just because I bought it doesn’t mean it tastes weird” he went to follow garden.

Reader rolls their eyes

About half an hour later something changes, reader slowly walks into the living room. Watermelon had an arm around Gardens shoulder as they read.

“You look tired, need a nap?” He asked

“I need a jar of Nutella and a bag of Doritos…”

“A what?”

“Pleaseeee” they grabbed onto his legs

“Ok ok, hold” he picks them up

“There’s stuff for them in the kitchen” garden didn’t look up from their book.

He takes them to the kitchen, “alright now you got a drink and a snack, is there anything else you need?” He looks at reader as they drink.

“Why are your eyes that color?” He narrowed his own at them.

“I need to see, dumbass” they spat at him not even answering the question.

“When the box said ‘give your human a fun time’ I didn’t think it meant this”

He sighs and pull out the bag again reading the back, “I guess I’ll just have to keep you with me till it wears off”

He bring them back and turn the tv on “it said to turn this channel on if you were having the best time”

He put on what looked like an adult human cartoon.

“Why aren’t they having ‘the best time’? “ garden looks at him sternly

“I don’t know I gave them a treat that said it was to help calm them down and stuff, it said humans liked them but they just seem really hungry?”

“Well you have to take care of them then”

“I know…”

“Just scratch the back of their head, they like that”

Watermelon does as they say and reader immediately leans in.

“Huh..”

Reader wakes up on watermelon lap still very tired. “You ok?”

“Mhh what happened I felt so weird, like I was high or something”

“Oh so it did work?” He ask surprised

“Excuse me”

“Well that’s what the treats said it would do, I didn’t know high was a feeling though”

Reader looked at the tv screen in silence, “please give me the bag of treats next time so I can read them and prepare myself beforehand…”

“Oh, sure?”

Period, pt 1 - Logan Howlett x ftm!Reader

A/N: okay, I know it’s not hot and heavy smut, but that’s coz I have a part two planned. I just really need a nap rn so I’m gonna write it later lol

Written for this request

CW: angst, puppy hybrid!Reader, bad period cramps, nudity, bathing, fingering, smut, explicit sexual content, soft sex, lazy sex, slightly abrupt ending, soft!Logan, maybe ooc Logan

752 words

You hear Logan’s footsteps only moments before the bed dips.

“Hey, pup.” He speaks quietly, but he could be yelling for all you care. It’s hard to focus on his words, pain thrumming through your veins.

It feels like your stomach is twisted into knots, your intestines as gnarled and prickled as a thorn bush. You can’t think, it hurts so much. You want to vomit, you want to cry, but you can only lie there. Numb. Hurting. Bleeding

Logan rests a hand on your side, gently rubbing until you uncurl a little. He presses a light kiss to your temple, sliding his rough palm under your shirt to knead your abdomen. It helps a little and you take a breath.

“Hurts,” you whisper. He nuzzles your neck and you can smell the worry on him. Thick and pungent, momentarily blocking out the scent of your own blood. It makes bile rise in your throat but you swallow it down.

“Let’s get you to the tub.” His concern makes him curt, but he’s so gentle as he picks you up. Cradling you against his body as he carries you from the bedroom to the bathroom.

You let him undress you, too achy and nauseous to help. Removing your binder helps, and you focus on the feel of his hands against your skin to fight the itch of dysphoria.

He slips off your shorts and boxers and the bitter scent of blood grows much stronger. You don’t look, already knowing your boxers are spotted with blood.

Logan doesn’t say anything. He just settles you in the tub and starts the water running.

Halfway through your bath, your cramps finally fade. You uncurl, relaxing into the hot water.

Logan’s hand stills on your abdomen, pausing his kneading. “Feeling better?”

You nod and let out a long breath. “Yeah.”

He rubs your skin a few more times before giving you a look. Eyebrow raised just a bit. “You want me to…”

You take a moment to consider before nodding. “I think the cramps have gone down enough. Just… be gentle.”

Logan chuckles and leans in to kiss your neck. “When am I ever not gentle?”

You huff and playfully bite the air. “All the time.”

He rumbles softly, but you can feel him smiling against your skin. His scent is smoother now, more musky and playful. It relaxes you further and you settle into the water a little more.

Logan gives you a moment before moving. His fingers slipping lower until he’s gently teasing your dick with his fingertips. Pleasure sparks and eases through your abdomen, chasing off the lingering aches of your cramps.

You let out a soft sigh, resting your head back and closing your eyes. It’s become a routine now; using sex to ease your period cramps. You could definitely do without the pain, but the gentleness Logan shows you is always nice.

His fingers move lower, circling your hole for a moment before he slides a finger in. Curling it just right to make your breath hitch. He adds another finger, giving you only a moment to appreciate just how thick his fingers are before he starts to fuck you with them.

It’s lazy and slow and entirely focused on making you feel good. He knows your body all too well, from the way his thumb rubs at your dick to the way he brushes that one spot inside you. You can’t keep your moans and whines in for long, soon giving in to the heady heat building in your veins.

Your orgasm turns you to mush, pleasure making your thoughts as thick and oozy as honey. You just melt, panting softly as Logan eases his fingers out.

He cleans them off in the water and you raise an eyebrow. Silently curious. He catches your look and smirks. “Don’t worry. I’m planning on tasting you plenty later on.”

Your cheeks heat and you bite down a smile. Feeling your tail wiggle a little underneath you. He knows you too well. “Why wait?”

Logan chuckles and stands to grab a towel for you. You stretch for a moment before getting up, grateful for the way he quickly covers you up. You lean in for a quick kiss before tugging him towards the bedroom.

“Eager pup,” he rumbles, but his eyes betray him, dark and hungry.

You give him a smirk, tail wagging behind you as you push the bedroom door open. “Hell yeah I am.”

He just chuckles and follows you in.

Tell me more about cat hearted killer? Mayhaps?

Typing as I think and head kinda empty rn so this isn’t everything. Others feel free to add on if they want. I personally think Stage 3 is when this is most obvious.

Cat naps whenever possible. Prefers napping in the sun in the ending with Color, usually very often curled up like a cat. If not in the sun or in his and Color’s room, probably found a dark place to sleep. Good luck finding him unless you’re Color.

When with Nightmare he hardly slept besides a few minutes at a time, was easily woken up, and as we all know— sleeps with one or both eyes open. Can sleep standing up, basically very trained to appear awake even when not.

Always protects his most vulnerable parts when sleeping—mainly the soul. Likes being warm when sleeping so will often have his hood up and covering most of the face. Hands are often clasped together in front of his chest and he has a tendency to also curl up whenever sufficiently hidden. Otherwise he just sleeps standing up.

It’s hard to tell if he’s actually asleep or just pretending, not only because of the open eyes, but because he wakes easily. Too hyper vigilant. Won’t sleep with his back facing anyone or an open door or window.

Does a lot of “grooming” of his physical appearance, even if he doesn’t have access to proper tools to actually take care of himself or often the energy, motivation, or care too for awhile. Adjusting clothes, straightening them, washes his hands frequently and tries to remember to take whatever opportunity possible to wash his clothes even though he doesn’t really change into new outfits under Nightmare often. In large part due to the way Chara taught him.

Most of these grooming habits happen with objects or actual stray cats though. He will frequently sharpen and clean his tools, replace handles and blades, and brush through cats fur and try to clip their claws when they get too long.

He will often just sit and watch the cats play, trying to puzzle out their behaviors and the reasons behind them— sometimes he’ll daydream about being one of them during the most stressful and exhausting workdays.

The ways he shows affection is very cat-like. Will bonk his head against Color’s, sometimes absentmindedly follow Color around for no other reason than curiosity and wanting to be around him. Brush up on or against Color when passing by. Definitely stares and doesn’t blink a lot.

When he’s curious, he tilts his head to the side, especially when he’s dissociating and things feel kinda funny and dreamy—so the shapes are kinda blurring together and colors are unusually dull or bright. During these moments he slow blinks at people he likes.

Cats help him sleep, the ones he has. They calm him and down and they are one of the view times he experiences happiness and peace.

For the longest time, they were who’d he’d seek out during breakdowns that triggered him into Stage 1–in stage 1 he doesn’t have much cat-like behaviors or mannerisms, doesn’t express himself that way naturally, doesn’t even partake in those type of grooming habits, besides hiding himself away when scared or sick and hurt maybe. Particularly after punishments or when Nightmare’s in a bad mood.

Finding him curled up somewhere dark and hidden with a bunch of cats with a broken arm and covered in wounds isn’t outside of the norm. I’d say he feels deeply connected to and responsible for them, they aren’t pets to him, they’re something else, even if he doesn’t view himself as one of them. He relies on them a lot emotionally and most days they were his only reason to bother trying to live or hope.

When frog John is feeling better how does he feel that Gale came to help him? I know Gale was giving mixed messages and they communicated a bit but does this latest chapter change anything about how he’s thinking about their relationship?

Also do the boys report back to John that Gale apologized? Are they curious to see the frog room?

i love how its not cicada season john and gale. it's just frog john and gale. you're so correct.

I think he is, and was, very taken aback. He's really at a loss as what to do with the fact that Gale just. Showed up to take care of him. It definitely eases some of the potential tension that might have happened otherwise. He's too tired to think about all the ramifications rn he just wants to nap in a pretty mans lap. And does so.

It definitely makes him consider something a little more emotional and intimate. He does and HAS liked Gale, even when he dislikes him (go figure) but this is like an. oh. oh you're like. You're Someone I could really care about.

Both John and Gale in all my fics have incredible capacity for empathy and I think that's what really gets John in this au. As prickly as Gale is,. He's so fucking gentle. he's so fucking kind and well-intentioned.

The boys are very curious! Except for Crosby who is scared of the frogs. However they are also all scared of Gale still. Maybe someday : ( But yes they do mention gale apologized but John is more focused on laughing at them for losing the drill bit

[thehighladywrites]

this is not a request just. thinking. ik you’re writing the boys as plugs but have we considered. the women.

elain would %100 make her own edible pastries and give them to you in those colourful baggies with a bow. she’d invite you over to “make sure the new recipe I use is good for the next batch.” the watch movies and end up napping on the couch type

feyre would be the best if you’re a newbie and ever curious about anything. %100 is a bit of a push over for you and sometimes gives you a lil gram extra and offer to smoke with you. she would probably teach you (if you dont know) why you should put ice in your bong. i just know she smokes and paints. probably does art nights with you.

Nesta is pretty abrupt, definitely a one and done we dont small talk plug, but she is there for you if you need (like if you’re a newbie and greened out or paranoid or whatever) because she knows how scary it can be to feel out of control with your body. (replace her trouble with canon alcoholism with getting high every night. she knows how it can get to you.) tells you to drink water and sleep it off but is still hanging around when you wake up ‘just in case’.

mor is the plug thats more like a friend. would end up smoking half of the stuff she just sold you because you guys wanted to sesh and hang out. probably gossips about her other customers when you two get really close

idk anything for amren she probably only uses like cbd oils idk :/

anon i dont even know what else to add, this is so perfect😭😭😭 yess i’m agreeing with everything

also amren would probs smoke joints. i imagine her having one between her long manicured nails, she probs use magic on them to make them even more strong/she mixes in some crazy shit orrrr she has a cart, a fancy ass pen with diamonds and gem stones. when she offers u a hit, ur high for hourssss her shit goes crazy tbh, it’s probably borderline venomous

elain would have her own garden where she grows her supply, i imagine she’s a girl plug who have the cutest packages, they’re all pink with cute stickers that say “thanks for supporting my small business”

feyre is the curious one, down to try literally anything. so down to earth and would get high with you and paint you naked. she has one of those loose shirts with buttons and a pair of shorts, her hair is loosely braided as she mixes her colors, she’s so hot i literally need her rn

nesta is so real, like the helping out when u green out part is so accurate. ut her fav customer and she wants to make sure ur okay, she says it’s because she doesn’t wanna loose clients but in reality she likes u. she also throws in extra g’s but doesn’t say shit ab it

mor is forsure the friend turned plug, she put you on to her supply and ever since u buy everything from her. fav activity is eating infused food in public/meetings and trying to act normal. like at the high lords meeting, you eat a shit ton of edibles and then try to concentrate but it’s very obvious bc you both look stoned and you’re paying too much attention to peoples words, it’s not natural

Returned to the Oddworld tag after awhile away and saw your post about the "Abe is a pacifist he doesn't like using violence" take and-

(this ain't anon hate promise I know you've had some problems with that so let's get that out the way rn immediately)

That take is so utterly fascinating to me because I think what's happening here is a misunderstanding surrounding a trait of his he indisputably does have.

Namely- how much he hates this role destiny has chosen for him and how fucking stressed and anxious it makes him.

Every moment this guy is on screen doing hero stuff he's miserable about it. The original 1990s games had a bit more of a comical slant to it, but it was very much there. Soulstorm pulls no punches that he's freaking tf out and only holding it together because the lives of everyone he's ever loved depends on him pulling this wild shit off.

Now, because their captors won't just let 'em walk off, violence comes mandatory with the territory of being the promised hero. I think technically you can beat Soulstorm without killing, but there's no narrative consequence in either direction so I assume Abe did indeed kill people to manage what he did.

I don't think Abe hates killing people, necessarily. I mean like you said. Man LAUGHS. It's quiet but very much audible.

I think people assume that since figuring all this out is such a miserable experience for him, therefore, he must hate the dirtiest part of it- killing people. A thing that, to be fair, is not easy on the psyche. No matter how angry a person is, actually taking a life is A Lot. I can see where the logic train follows, even if I don't wholly subscribe to it. It doesn't help that he seems like a pretty kind, selfless person- yeah, he doesn't want to be doing any of this, but he genuinely cares about the others. He runs to comfort a dying stranger despite having only just gotten a bit of a lead in his frantic run through a BURNING CAVE from PEOPLE SHOOTING AT HIM. And apologies for not being able to save him! So much of Soulstorm is him worrying about other people. Folks don't tend to associate that kind of person with gleeful violence.

So, what exactly is Abe's relationship with violence? Hard to say! We get the quiet little laugh and that's it- could be anything from a stress response, the brain violently going WHAT THE FUCK UHHHHH MAKE NOISE, I GUESS in response to not knowing how to respond to watching a guy explode into meat nuggets. Could be a well I have to do this anyway so fuck it, I may as well enjoy what I can from this shitty experience and I'm not sorry about killing people that have abused and murdered us for years response.

The game makes it pretty clear he cares about what really matters, regardless, so it's fun seeing what particular characterization other people assume of him for this specific aspect of his personality, and how they make it fit with how we've seen him behave.

Anyway thank you for the opportunity to think on this aspect of him for a bit. I am very normal and sane about one (1) very anxious, tired blue man who needs a hug and a nap.

I don't even remember what post you're talking about anon lol but I appreciate the infodump! It's nice to hear other ppls takes. I'm assuming this was something I said offhandedly criticizing the old 2005 character bio for Abe, because that quote sounds like something from it.

Before I say anything further you have to keep in mind that Abes personality is staunchly different in Soulstorm. While he is still a reluctant hero, he's far from apathetic about it in Soulstorm. He's more confused and unsure than anything else, and the amount of times in that game where Toby and Alf, or the Keeper, need to step in and give him some insight kinda drills that home. Abe isn't really on his own anymore in Soulstorm. The pressure is very much still on, but he's not like, complaining about it? I don't know the right words to use. He's a lot more curious and actively wanting to be a savior figure, he's just so confused and unsure as to how.

In the original timeline, Abe is on his own for the most part. Yeah Alf and co help him cross the desert, but after that, Abe is back to doing everything on his own. He's angry. He's stressed out. And in Oddysee as well, he just learned that he's gonna be chopped up and sold as are his kin. Then he escapes and gets bombarded with the truth about his race. It's a lot at once. Like, in all honesty? Abe went postal. He's hucking literal grenades at sligs. He's lost it. He was just a janitor a day ago and now he's being told he's the goddamn messiah and if he doesn't follow his fate he and all his buddies are gonna die. Like, if I was him I wouldn't even take a MOMENT to consider the most nonviolent option. I'd consider the easiest. And I'd have no problem with a few casualties of the motherfuckers who have been beating the shit out of me and being racist to me my entire life. Abe has had enough and he has every right to be pissed.

Pacifist was never the right word to describe Abe. More like. An insurrectionist maybe, but he's far from organized. He wants a reform but also he wants a revolt. I mean, to be honest we don't really know much about what Abe wants. He's being told what his fate is and he's doing his best to follow it. If I were in his position, I'd be at a loss when it comes to rational descision making.

You have to remember as well, pacifism means non-violent. Even if Abe isn't killing, even if you were to somehow minimize any harm done to the sligs, Abe is still not a pacifist. In Oddysee, In Exoddus, in Munch, even in Soulstorm, he doesn't just harm people. He blows up buildings. He kills slogs that are in his way. He destroyes major structures. He is still going crazy with destruction even if he isn't doing any killing. And that's probably because he's scared! He's stressed! He's freaking the hell out! You stop caring about a lot of safety protocol when you're freaking the hell out.

Not to mention, Shrykull. While Shrykull is not Abe, it is still using Abe as a vessel, and its important to note that Shrykull is a god of balance. A god of creation and destruction. Just noting that there. While Abe may not have control of Shrykull, his body is still a vessel for a god that Breaks Shit.

Is abe a pacifist? Absolutely not. Does abe wish he was a pacifist? Also no. Abe wishes he didn't have to do any of this. Not because it involves violence but because his fellow Mudokon's lives are on the line. Abe is a wanted Mud. If he doesn't do any of this he's going to get killed. And then because he's been forced into the position he's in, his brothers will get killed. Its not that abes stressed out because he's having to enact violence. He's stressed out because if he doesn't act he and his brothers are Literally Going To Fucking Die. There's a lot on the line. And every tiny act of violence he does Increases My Chances Of Getting Killed. I'd be at my breaking point too. And I'd be getting rid of anybody in my way, and laughing to myself to cope with how much worse my life is becoming because of it and overwhelmingly traumatic the whole thing is.

Sorry I went off on a tangent there LOL. But yeah.

TL;DR: Abe is not a pacifist or an anarchist. He is a paranoid, vulnerable dude who was thrust into the shoes of "Saviour" and simply went postal because he didn't know what the hell else to do.

2.7 is like 10 days away and something that I need an explanation for is this poem “death of the crow”(which is also a reference to the raven by Edgar Allen Poe) that was clearly about Sunday 

Once upon a midnight dreary, while you pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten dreams —
While you nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of someone gently rapping, rapping at your chamber door.
"'Tis some visitor," you muttered, "tapping at my chamber door —
Only this and nothing more."

Ah, do you distinctly remember the dew-doused window pane;
And a dying baby dove laid like a shadow upon the floor.
Eagerly you had wished the story to meet a happy end
Eagerly you had wished no birds would plummet, their demise to bewail.
Some soared like shining stars, bound for the sky...
While others found only demise, in dust they lie.

Deep into that darkness peering, long you stood there wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream before;
Worms have stained satin, and flames consumed doves with broken wings,
A flame-bathed raven greeted you, its voice's rasp that sings.
"Sweet dreams are no paradise of mine," you whispered and sighed. "When I cast my eyes around —"
Darkness there and nothing more.

Then this ebony bird beguiling your sad fancy into smiling,
"The echoes of ghosts bring no salvation to light."
"People repent, their hearts sincere, only due to them seeking greater gains."
"Drink this blessed potion from the Great One, erasing your painful memories."
As Harmony's tune changed, you hear a dirge played amidst the dancing ashes...
Quoth the Raven "Nevermore."

The unbroken stillness remains silently, mocking any reply so aptly spoken,
But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
This and more I sat divining, scrying the source of the world's pain
Your heart grew resolute, no longer held back by confusion and doubt.
"Liar," you declared, "the Great One is blind to worldly sorrow —"
Merely this and nothing more.

You ascended the stage, you stole the authority, you strived for divinity
You raised the dim curtain, your self-directed farce skillfully honed.
Your heart overflew with pureness, while the shadows of the puppets cast grim shadows in their play.
Your soul embraced compassion, daring to forge a scale that will never sway.
"Behold," you proclaimed, "the utopia of absolute bliss,"
Yet the dream shattered, "Nevermore."

The velvet nest fell, the golden bed withered away,
But the bird remained perched, as did you, come what may.
The gods, who once bestowed upon you love's sweet hue,
Withdrew their favor, leaving your paradise askew.
Liberated from the shadow of young dove's demise, your soul will take flight,
Merely this and nothing more.

Your old dreams are as dead soil, barren of hope and bereft,
Yet how can a noble soul wither and fade, left adrift?
I shall await your arrival, with open arms and boundless hope,
Here lie the truest dreams, where infinite possibilities lope.
Here, all your ambitions shall be fulfilled and set aflame,
The past forever transformed, and nevermore

Yours, Most Sincerely

Cecil Simmes

What catches my attention is this being and invitation.

I remember people theorized that this was written by Elio but now we know that likely isn’t the case. What we do know now from an npc at Paperfold university is that the name came from a horror novel. There is a readable that backs this up (I can’t find it rn) but the radio host name is Cecil.

A confusing error about this though is that the letter was not found in the grand theater it was in dreamflux reef and you could collect it even before the fight with Sunday.

Perhaps it really is just a different letter but either way the author is the same “Cecil Simmes”

Hi! Potentially a bit of a random question but I seem to have the idea in my mind that your wife has studied linguistics. I’m seriously considering applying to do French and Linguistics at uni and I was wondering if she had any thoughts or advice? The course allows people to apply having solely studied French so I don’t have much linguistic experience but I’m really interested by it and I don’t know any other linguists irl haha. I completely understand if not! Have a good day xx

she majored in both those things!

she also studied abroad in 3 different countries bc her program allowed her to and that was fantastic, not only for the experience itself but also for getting jobs later -- the job she's in now hired her with less direct related experience in part because they liked that she'd gone to different countries and done stuff while over there (ok she gave me the direct quote from the hiring manager "we had to meet with the person who had this background")

i'm speaking for her a bit rn bc she's napping but MY two cents is that i feel like people are like "teach" or "be a translator" but they're not the only jobs you can do with it -- one of the fastest growing careers right now is speech therapy/communicative disorders, whether it's developmental (kids) or helping people post-TBI / stroke or seniors with aphasia or more audiology focused but that's linguistics baby! (you totally can do translation, one of my friends works at nintendo doing english localizations but i feel like that's the one everyone thinks of and there's other stuff if it's not your jam)

OKAY SHE'S AWAKE i'm going to take notes while she thought-dumps under the cut

first off, she thinks linguistics is awesome, good on ya! she actually majored in french and japanese and didn't figure out the linguistics until the very last year, so she had to come back for another degree after working for a few years

linguistics is a very cool interdisciplinary field with lots of branches that intersect with many other things -- if you like a particular branch and you want to pursue it, take the electives that connect with that branch (e.g. she took psycholinguistics and cognitive science) which will give you good sense of it and help you if you want to explore more in it later on

when you do your language requirement, she recommends picking up one that's different to english or french in a significant way -- it'll help you wrap your head around different concepts if you speak or are learning a language that has those things (e.g. Japanese is subject-object-verb vs english/french subject-verb-object)

she VERY much recommends non-european languages in general ("tho there is cool shit in european languages too, like basque")

she is curious whether this is a double French major + Linguistics major OR a French linguistics major -- she recommends the first rather than the second, she has been in the second (while studying abroad) and finds that the language tends to colour the linguistics rather than studying cross-linguistically. so if you have the choice she does recommend the two separate majors if you can get it

linguistics is more maths than she expected -- you don't need to do a lot of calculations (unless you want to! you can get very mathsy if you want with quantitative or computational linguistics) but you're looking for trends so you do need to understand data and statistics, and in the higher levels stuff like plotting sentences and sentence diagramming involves way more equations. with that being said, my wife who has a math LD and had a really hard tim e with math in school turned out to LOVE it; it took her a bit to wrap her head around how things worked at first but it blew her mind and she has a huge appreciation for the breadth of the field (if you're from a science background then disregard hahaha)

linguistics intersects with psychology and science in a very cool way that she says also helped her understand some of the hard-science stuff

LEARN THE INTERNATIONAL PHONETIC ALPHABET -- you have to, it's a requirement, but get on that because it's important; she's obsessed with it, right now i actually need to pause bc she's explaining the layout of the chart to me (it's arranged by place of articulation) but for you i'm going to link it instead

this is a bit off topic and maybe not relevant and also obviously a personal choice regardless but she says if you suspect you have a learning disability and it has not been diagnosed, get it diagnosed, if you don't need to be doing that at 30 it's much easier lol

her username on here is @linguafranka if you want to add her / DM / continue convos! she loves to talk linguistics pretty much any time

MR S??? MR V??? UPDATE - Monday

HELP. I'M DEVELOPING A NEW TC??? BUT I'M ALMOST DONE HIS CLASS AND I'LL NEVER HAVE HIM AS A TEACHER AGAIN??? 😭😭😭😭

I know for a fact he's single, and slightly younger than Mr S 😏

Basically how this started was when I had his class for the first time (this semester) I was like "Wait he's kinda fine 😏 but I have Mr S so whatever" but lowkey he's funny and he sees me, like he SEES me, he doesn't just glaze over me cuz I'm part of the class, he actually SEES me.

Okay so basically how I came to the conclusion that I'm developing a crush on him was that today, he was helping me in Animation (my actually animation teacher is this new guy, let's call him Mr V), and he pulled a chair up next to me, but lowkey close to me, and he had to reach in front of me for the keyboard and mouse, and he brought them to himself, but he started to ask what my problem was with the modeling and stuff and he started to fix my problems, it took like the entire class so we spent basically the entire class side by side.

Anyways, when we were sitting close, we were so close that I could feel his body heat, and our knees were basically touching, and we touched feet a couple times under the table, by accident ofc. And, we also touched arms a few times, and he kept making eye contact with me and smiling as we were laughing at the problems happening in the program, cuz they just kept happening and he was like "Omg." and he explained to me that he enjoys the problem solving and that he wouldn't dock me any points for helping me.

And then he was like "You're getting a glimpse into my brain A (My name)" and for some reason that felt so intimate? Idk how else to describe it, but like comfortable? Idk. Anyways, he's like "Oh, A, A" in like a faux disappointed way like tsk tsk *finger wag *, and then he continued helping me. Mind you I don't remember the order of these things cuz my mind is jumbled rn. He also just generally keeps using my name, which like, THAT'S HOW YOU GET ME LIKE OML STOP IF YOU DON'T WANT ME TO FALL FOR YOU.

And we kept giggling together cuz someone from another class came in and was talking to their friends in the class about religions and cults and trying to get them to convert and reciting Islamic (?) prayers, and we were just so confused why he was doing that- and then the dude started talking about sex and rules on it in different religions and then Mr V was like "What are you talking about (Guy's name)?" and Mr V told me "I don't even know why he's here, he just loves this class I guess" (cuz he came in a few times before too)

There was also many times during a lesson that he said "Why don't we just rest today, and watch a movie or something, whadya say A? Nobody else is listening anyways, why don't we just take a nap." and other times where he's said "You're listening more than (the upper level students in the class)s." to their own lesson, cuz I was done my work and curious about the higher level stuff.

Idk, I just think I'm developing a crush on him cuz I was suppressing it before cuz I had a crush on Mr S, but now that I'm trying to move on from Mr S, it opened a romantic interest spot for me, which he is filling. For now tho, it's literally just a crush, though I genuinely think he's a great person.

Jealous!Protective!Korekiyo x Clumsy!Reader

✨they/them pronouns used✨

✨fluff, angst and fluff at the end✨

CW: nothing really, just Korekiyo hearing Y/N stretch and it makes him blush, Kiyo being jealous, pajama sleeve sliding down Y/N’s shoulder, slightly suggestive?, jealousy, profanity

Korekiyo decided to surprise his S/O with their favorite snack that he prepared just for them with a tiny bit of help from Kirumi. He decides to send Y/N a text.

‘Y/N, good morning. Are you awake?’ SEND.

‘Mornin Kiyo… am not really awake rn… What’s up?’ SEND.

Kiyo gasps in shock. ‘Oh dear, I’m sorry to have woken you up. Are you alright, do you want to resume your nap?’ SEND.

‘Eh it’s ok, I’ll get up. I accidentally took a three hour nap. Guess I got into a food coma after breakfast? Lemme get up’ SEND.

‘Alright, I’ve got a surprise for you, by the way.’ SEND.

“Oh my, now he’s gotten me curious!” Y/N asks themself, clapping their hands in excitement and giggling to themself. “Alright, Y/N, ya gotta get up. Your boyfriend has a surprise for you.”

Little do they know that Kiyo wanted to surprise them at the door. He’s patiently standing at the door, with a little chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting on it. He gets butterflies but knocks on the door once he sighs to relieve his anxiety.

“Himiko, is that you? I can’t wait to watch your magic show this afternoon! I talked about it with Gonta last night while he was teaching me about the different kinds of ladybugs! Lemme get up- OH SHIT!” They slide off the bed. “Christ on a stick, that hurt! That’s juuuust great, a bruise is gonna pop up soon…” They sigh and stretch to wake themself up.

Korekiyo hears them stretch and blushes for whatever reason. “I-I didn’t know people made noises when they stretch… Maybe it’s just something Y/N does? It’s a mystery.” He then hears them walking and they bump into the door, making a loud THUMP noise. “Oop. Didn’t mean to do that, Himiko! I’m all good! It’s normal for me..!”

They see their (favorite color) pajama shirt part of their PJ outfit starting to slide down one of their shoulders. “Oh shoot!” They try to fix that but it slides down again, but fortunately it doesn’t slide any more. At that point, they give up and open the door, yawning. “Sorry, Himiko, my clumsiness got the better of me, I should not have stayed up until midnight. I think I ended up falling asleep on the floor haha-“ They look up to see a confused looking Korekiyo.

“H-Hello, Y/N. I made you a chocolate cupcake with chocolate frosting because Kirumi informed me that you really enjoy chocolate. She helped me a small bit. But I hope you enjoy it. Would you like to come with me to the courtyard? There’s tables and chairs underneath some cherry blossoms there.” He asks.

Y/N finally opens her eyes and sees Kiyo looking at them, patiently waiting for answer. They blush super hard and continuously try to fix their sleeve. Them blushing causes Kiyo to blush pretty hard and tremble slightly and almost drops his plate.

“O-Oh dear. I guess you’ve never seen me with PJs on. You’re one of the few people here in this academy who have seen my pajamas. This stupid sleeve wouldn’t stay put, maybe I can see if Kirumi can tighten them one of these days. A-Anyway, let’s go to the tables, I would love to try what you made for me, which is so sweet by the way, I really appreciate it!” They smile.

Korekiyo and Y/N make their way to the tables. Y/N has a little spring in their step and their sleeve slides down their shoulder, though they are just happily making their way to the table and they aren’t even aware that Kaito is in front of them.

Until they bump into him. “Oof-“ they silently say as they look up at Kaito. “Ohh! Kaito! I didn’t see you there! Afternoon!” They exclaim with a really big smile. “Hey there, Y/N!” They high five. “Do you want to come vibe at the courtyard with Kiyo and I?”

“Hmm… as long as Kiyo is fine with it, I don’t mind, my dude.” Kaito smiles and Korekiyo then walks up to Y/N. “Oh, Kiyo! Hey! Y/N here says that you’re going to the courtyard soon and they wanted to know if I could come along with you two. I won’t, like, be the awkward third wheel or anything.”

“S-Sure...” Kiyo responds back, sounding a little annoyed. Y/N’s eyes sparkle as they jump up and down with sparkling eyes. “Alright, let’s make our way there! I’m gonna get a head start!”

Literally them as they run towards the doors:

Kiyo happily waves at them as they run off and then turns his head rather quickly and glares at Kaito menacingly, but stays quiet. Kaito gets a little spooked, so he runs off and meets up with Y/N.

“Haaa… Y/N, there you are! Dude, I forget how big this academy is sometimes ….” Kaito exclaims.

Y/N is muttering profanities left and right as they look at their bruised knee. Kaito looks down at Y/N, who’s on the ground. Kaito bursts out laughing. “Ah, sorry for laughing. You good, though? A-Anyways, let’s go to the courtyard so we can vibe!” Kaito happily walks away, with Y/N happily walking with him.

Kiyo makes annoyed noises as he slowly makes his way to the courtyard. Y/N and Kaito make it to the courtyard table and sit down, across from each other. The two are just catching up about just everything. “So then I told Shuichi and Maki Roll while we doing our training stuff that ‘the impossible is possible, all you gotta do is make it so!’ and Shuichi seemed to like that. I saw Rantaro the other day painting Kaede’s nails the other day and I’m gonna be serious, can I ask you something?” Kaito asks.

Y/N happily nods. “Yeah my dude, you can tell me anything!” Kaito sighs. “I’m… kinda jealous. I wouldn’t be apposed to Rantaro painting my nails, but… I’m embarrassed to ask.” “Tell ya what! Next week, I’ll get my nails painted (insert favorite color here) and I can bring you with! Trust me, it’s amazing!”

Kiyo finally makes his way to the courtyard and sits next to Y/N. “Hello there, dear. Did I miss anything?” Korekiyo asks, readjusting Y/N’s sleeve again. “Not much, we were just catching up and I got a bruise. It’s not the end of the world. I literally trip on everything. Kaito get this. Literally yesterday I was walking upstairs and tripped on my own feet?? No idea why that happens, but I guess I’m a bit of a clumsy oaf.”

Kaito and Kiyo exchange glances. Kaito tries to resist the urge to laugh, but just starts laughing like crazy. Kiyo glares at Kaito and then he’s speechless. “Haha.. ahh, that is hilarious. Just Y/N things, am I right?” Y/N nods and they turn to look at the night sky.

“The stars look so pretty! Look at them, Kiyo! … Is that one changing colors??” Y/N asks, confused.

“Yeah! Did you know that stars can be different colors? I personally like the blue one. One day, I wanna go fly to the sky and check out the stars. You’ll be the first person to know about my stories and what I saw, I promise!” Kaito says, winking in a friendly way.

Kaito rambles for a few hours and Y/N is flat out dead asleep on Kiyo’s chest. “Shit, it’s getting late. I should go hit the hay soon. See ya Y/N! … Y/N?” He turns around and sees Y/N, sleeping peacefully with their boyfriend has his hand on her head, as if he’s protecting them??? Kaito gets confused and walks away with his hands in his pockets.

God that’s so cute, you don’t need to do that though, Kiyo

Kiyo gently taps on their shoulder, waking them up. “Hm..? Kaito? Where did he… go?” They ask while rubbing their eyes. “He… was tired so he went back to the dorm.” Korekiyo’s eyes start to glow, unable to keep his anger in anymore.

“Speaking of Kaito, what was THAT?! He was clearly flirting with you! Did you not see that?! HOW did you NOT see that?!” Kiyo exclaims. “I didn’t. I genuinely didn’t. If he was actually flirting with me, why didn’t you stop him?! Why didn’t you do anything!?”

“Because you were having a good time and catching up on things with somebody you don’t see a lot these days! And I didn’t want to ruin that for you!”

“… wait a minute. How did you know about that? How did you know that I was catching up with him?”

Korekiyo just kinda does this 👇🏻

“Were you intentionally taking your time? Were you eavesdropping on our conversation? I can’t believe it! It’s all over your face! You not saying anything is just icing on the cake!” Y/N explains with their pajama shirt’s sleeve sliding down even more than before.

“W-Wait, Y/N, let me expl-“ “SAVE IT, KOREKIYO! I don’t want to hear your bullshit lies!” Y/N exclaims with a hint of a growl in their voice. They storm off.

Korekiyo watches them storm off. He then sighs and sits at the table and stares at the night sky. “I had a bad feeling about Kaito this whole time… Does Y/N actually not know when people are flirting with them? Or were they just saying that?”

He looks at the ground and just walks inside the building. He enters the building and walks to his dorm room. “… just wait for them to cool off. You need to just wait, Korekiyo.” He starts to pace around his room. “I’m just going to go to my lab to distract myself.”

He makes his way to his lab and opens the door. He stares at his pot full of roses and just stares at them. “These are beautiful. Y/N and I grew these together. That’s what makes them even more beautiful. Them. They’re beautiful in all ways. Even their flaws make them beautiful.” He blushes really hard. “I must find them and apologize to them. I would only assume that they’re in their room or elsewhere.”

Kiyo spots Himiko. “Himiko, have you seen Y/N? I’ve been trying to find them.” Himiko looks at Kiyo, with an upset expression. “Nyeh, why would I want to tell you where they are?” Korekiyo sighs. “Thanks for your help, I guess.” He continues to pursue them.

Hallways? Nope. Game room? Nah. Cafeteria? Kind of? He found a box of pocky. That’s worth something, so he put it in his pocket. “Pocky..? That’s Y/N’s favorite kind of pocky, so I’m getting somewhere.” Kiyo mutters to himself.

He casually walks around the building until he hears Kiibo and some familiar voices, including Y/N’s voice in the library. “Found them.” “MAN, it feels good to take this pajama shirt off. It felt like I was on fire.” “Y-Y/N, please don’t say that, somebody might hear you say that and or doesn’t sound too good out of context!! What if your boyfriend was nearby and heard that? He’d get suspicious!” Kiibo exclaims

Shocked at what he hears, he aggressively pushes the door open and it hits the wall. Kiyo stares at Y/N and then at Kiibo and then at Kaede. He blushes really hard at the sight of Y/N in a (favorite color(s) tanktop and covers his face for a while. Kiibo raises his hands and walks out. “I wasn’t doing anything suspicious, I was just telling them that it wasn’t wise to shout that.”

Kaede just nopes out of the room. “Nope, not dealing with this.” Korekiyo watches his companions leave and looks at Y/N like this.

“My oh my, dearest. There you are. My beautiful rose. I was looking for you to apologize for what I did. Can you forgive me for eavesdropping on your conversation and snapping at you?”

Man I swear this dude has rizz

They start to blush hard. “Y-Yeah…”

“Thank you, dear. It means a lot to me. By the way, what was it you and Kaito were talking about? You don’t have to get specific if you don’t want to.” Kiyo asks, tilting his head to the side.

“W-Well, I’m sure Kaito wouldn’t want me t-talking about it, but we just plan on hanging out- nothing bad I promise! Just hanging out.” Y/N replies and Korekiyo smiles. “You look so cute when you blush like this.” Y/N raises her eyebrow. “Oh yeah? Well you look handsome when you blush too~, I’ve never seen you blush like this before.” Y/N scoots closer to Korekiyo and gives him a big hug. “And I’m sorry too… for the yelling. I love you.”

Kiyo smiles warmly. “Your heartbeat… it’s racing a little bit. And I love you so much more.” Kiyo and Y/N smile and Kiyo gets a little peck on the cheek. “M-My oh my… H-How u-unexpected.” He looks at the clock. “Oh gosh, look at the time, it’s three in the morning. But I don’t want to get up just now, I just want to feel your heartbeat for j-just a little while longer.”

“But we’re gonna have to-“ Y/N yawns. “-go home eventually. You make me feel so loved. I’ve never felt this before.” Korekiyo gasps and stands up. He reaches for Y/N’s hand. They stand up and they walk to Y/N’s dorm room. “What were you saying about not feeling loved like this before’?”

Kiyo and Y/N stand in front of Y/N’s door. “It… it’s a long story. I’ll explain it to you one of these days. As much as I would love to keep talking, I feel quite tired. See you in the morning?” They ask. “But of course, darling. I love you, I’ll see you in the morning, or specifically, later in the morning.” He gives them a peck on the cheek. They’re so happy that they go into their room, blush so hard that they are tomato red (from blushing) and dive into their bed and happily shove their face into their pillow and happily giggles. Kiyo hears their giggles and walks to his room, feeling happy and blushing, knowing that he just made their night.

The next day, Kaede walks into the library and realizes that their pajama shirt is still there. She blushes at the sight, picks up the shirt and walks to their dorm room with a note saying “Y/N, you left this in the library. -Kaede”

Small WIP Moon fic drop

Sooo over the summer I started a new dca fic WIP (ik I shoulddd write for my other stuff but shhhhhhh-) and I'm doing a thing where I'm aiming to start posting this one until I'm either completely done or very close to done with the fic. (Because if I post right away my ass will not be able to keep them coming regularly 😔)

Rn I'm about 6 chapters of my expected 15 in! I wanna make this a pretty short story that'll still pack a bit of a punch. I got a message I wanna send >:)

I'm really feeling good about this fic, but since I'm holding back from posting the full chapters, I'll satiate my need to share by giving small tid bits from the beginning chapters. :)

TLDR:

This story is Moon centric and mostly takes place in his pov! (Sorry Sun lovers, I swear I adore that boyo too-) It's also an x reader and it'll be SFW - Moon is just gonna be a really clingy attention deprived goober. o3o

(Edit from the future: Okay so there's a lot of pinning going on so while it could probably still be interpreted as platonic/queer platonic, I'm not gonna label it as such anymore and chance making people uncomfortable)

If you're curious, I have 2 snippets and the story summary below the cut! Ty for reading through my yapping <3

Summary:

Moon was never one to outwardly complain about his place in life.

He had simply lost the lottery. Only out for moments at a time, too afraid to do anything wrong. He's active for so little as is, why risk losing even more time?

Moon prefers nap time. The one place where he can interact with the world calmly for a whole hour. To be a comfort rather than a tool. When everyone sleeps, he can relax, knowing he's done everything right.

Time for himself…

Now that's his favorite. But even then he cannot do much. Only in his wildest nonexistent dreams could he be truly free.

But one day, somehow… Moon actually dreamed.

Who knew how addictive a sweet dream could be?

vvvv Main Ch 1 scene vvvv

vvvv Scene depicting details about the Reader vvvv

Thank y'all for reading! This whole fic is based more on a world I created on my own, but you can definitely see influences from other things within.

The fic is so far planned to be called "Everything You've Ever Dreamed" - and if that rings a bell to you then it's likely exactly what you're thinking :)))

I don't mind if any of y'all wanna give your opinions on it. Tbh I'm not looking for criticism since this is just going to be a short story with unrealistic aspects. Plus, I just want to write something like this for my own satisfaction! Indulgence!!!

These snippets may or may not change once it comes time to finally start uploading the fic to ao3. This is still a WIP after all, I just love it so much to share it :3

(calling this fic Dreamlike and EYED for short/tags)

[beecanons]

Heheheh ty for letting me send more ideas, for a little context rn tlovm is a big big BIG interest of mine rn! (Especially Percy <3) so if it wasn’t too much trouble could I get some Regressor! Percy hcs? (Since u already make the cg one! Also if it’s ok some padded agere hcs?)

- @thetinyblossom 🌸

finally here it is!

he regresses usually to ages 10/11-14 typically. he can regress younger but its not often

he tends to be very quiet when little quiet like he's got his mind busy and hes focused however he'll talk and talk when he gets excited and enthusiastic about something

we all know he likes to read but when hes little its the #1 activity for him best way to keep him busy probably better to give him a book with pictures or thats not too hard to read

will fall asleep reading with his glasses on needs to be tucked in for naps and glasses taken off for him

has fallen asleep sitting with trinket loves petting trinket because her fur is soft

will play with his pocket watch a lot shiny pretty thing making nice tik sound

shy about asking for attention will make grabby hand gestures, mumble and whine until he gets cuddles

please take his weapons away when he's little he'll hate it but you gotta keep it out of his reach. no pepperbox and no bad news no matter what he tries dont give in.

subconciously bundles up will snitch someones coat and make himself a lil warm nest to read in probably why he likes sitting with trinket

will build a fort no scanlan allowed.

will play with best buddy grog and pike pike comes up with play date ideas

any questions? ask cass actually one of the best people who knows how to handle him is his sister the party only managed to handle calming him down thanks to her he's happy to see her anytime and loves hanging out with her when little

as long as hes not busy with a task like reading, you can pick him up anytime will lean against you if you sit next to him when hes reading absent mided touch or just general physical affection wont admit it but loves being held

be careful and watch him when he takes naps he does have nightmares and will cry

remind him he cant chew his nails or bite his sleeve need to find him a paci but hes very hesitant to use one.

he does get very pouty and grumpy attention tends to help with that, not upset a lot kind of grumpy but often needs snuggles

keep him in sight at all times hes curious he will wander off and he will get lost

he's still a very responsable little will tidy up and keep things tidy if you drop something he'll tug on your sleeve and put it in your hand or if you trip he'll go "uh oh" and give you hugs so you feel better he's a big brother and he grew up doing that sorta thing for his younger siblings so he'll do it then too

also tagging @syth-de-rolo <3

hope these were okay!

[spiritoffox]

hi! i'm curious, do you have any fave svsss headcanons? or any plot bunnies that you may or may not write in the future? 👀

Hi!! Thank you for the ask, ngl I had to sit down a bit and think about this... like do I have headcanons for SV? 😅 And yeah, it turns out I do, but unless I explicitly state them in a fic, or imply them heavily in text, they don't apply to every fic I write, you know? Added a read more because this got long, sorry!

So here are a few, that I could think of rn:

Top!SQH: I don't really write MoShang-centric (or CumPlane) fics, but if I did, it would be most likely with this dynamic in mind. I just think he is neat. ☺️

SY's age: I'm down for him dying relatively early, like between 18 and 20. It just makes everything funnier IMO to have him play the wise mentor when he was barely a legal adult in his own world and the mental age difference between BingQiu switching during his 5-year nap?? ☺️ (But I also have several WIPs where SY is like in his 40s so...)

SY's original hotness: every time I see someone post about him being a total knockout (conventional or unconventional) who is over it/doesn't know/etc., I smile. It would work a lot, is all I'm saying, and in a reverse transmigration situation, someone would definitely have their work cut out for them.

modern!LBH's job: so if LBH was born/raised in the modern world and an orphan, I'd probably write him as someone who is a doctor or an engineer - mainly bc I could see him with the drive to show everyone that he can do it on his own and excel too. Funnily enough, in the modern AU WIPs I currently have, he is either a haute cuisine chef (romcom with single parent SY), a medical student working as a waiter/delivery boy (romcom with fake dating), an escort (fic with a hopeful ending), or a gardener (lesbian horror). So like 1 out of 4? 😅

Plot bunnies. They are really bunnies, I have around 140 docs in my SV WIP folder. Some of those will be merged into one fic, and some of them have like 5-6 different fics in them because I was lazy and didn't want to open a new file.

Here are some that are almost finished being written tho:

Haunting of Bly Manor AU: lesbian BingYuan with uni student SY going to be the nanny for a rich widow's two children in an isolated estate over the summer to get her tuition money together.

SY as reincarnated SXY: TLJ/SY, past!TLJ/SXY with SY finding himself next to SXY's cooling body and baby!LBH is already in the river but caught up in the nearby vegetation.

SV/Stardew Valley/From fusion: BingQiu with SY waking up on the bus to Cang Qiong Mountain with a letter from his grandparent(?) telling him about an inheritance. He has a dilapidated farm called Qing Jing Peak, only a few spirit stones in his pocket and the bus breaks down immediately after his arrival. He can't leave the mountain, every time he tries he gets turned around, his money is barely enough to buy himself some bread till his first crop matures and every night when it gets dark monsters appear in the town.

Isekai AU: BingYuan where original!LBH agrees to play a game with a strange entity before dying during his daughter's wedding. He has to go into various worlds and try to fulfill the original host's wishes or change their fates. This is a multi-work series, part one (interstellar arc, also omegaverse) is almost done, I'm writing part two (zombie apocalypse arc) now, but I'll not publish any until I'm at least close to finishing part three (waffling between two settings). Will be at least 5 big arcs.

There are also several one-shots that I could post, I just have to find the energy and the time to edit them. I'll get there eventually. 🥰

Thank you for your question and sorry for the long post! Hope you have a nice day!

Hi there, so how are you rn? Have you been taking care of yourself? I apologize for being absent lately..

First of all, i would like to say that im excited to see your personal ideas that we have yet to see! I already like the fics we have been getting. Although, are you still burnout from HSR? Will there be any chance of us seeing any HSR fics in the possible future (this is just a curious question, i hope you dont mind me asking)

Second of all, any thoughts of the recents updates for HSR and Genshin Impact? In HSR, we will literally get a actual good 5 star character for free, im not joking. This is because of HSR winning three awards and all but wow we HSR players are eating good. Then there’s Genshin Impact with Ayaka with a gun..? Im planning to finally start playing Genshin again but why the hell does Ayaka has a gun?????

Third, soo i hope you dont mind asking but what’s the status with “What lies beyong the paintings”? Ik the blog is undergoing through some changes but what’s going to happen to the series? Will you still continue it or is it discontinued?

Ik you’re currently going through a rough patch rn but please remember to take care of yourself. Drink some water, eat some comfort food, take a cat nap, or anything that makes you feel happy. I hope whatever you are going through, you will come out alive and fine. Take care bxnny

Hello Flower Anon,

I thank you for your kind words and don't mind that you have been absent, especially as I have been as well. But unfortunately, I will use this post to make a more sadder announcement for the blog.

I don't think, that I'll be coming back to writing anytime soon after all. Life has made it very hard to hold on and as I've mentioned before, days are getting darker. I have no time for anything and even now on my Christmas vacation I find myself feeling no motivation or time for anything really. And for that reason, I've decided to put the account on hold, until I'm able to piece my life together again. I know this will come as an disappointment to most, but it's the best I can do.

This is my main account however and so I'll be active here and there for moots or small life updates, if there are any, but for now, everything will be on a hiatus. It hurts alot, as writing was always my only form of comfort to me, but alas, so is life. Perhaps one day I'll get back the motivation and happiness I had back in May.

And so, I thank you again Flower Anon and everyone else for supporting me and my work. It truly means the world to me.

I wish you all happy holidays and a happy new year.<33
