12 and 28 from the soft and simple ask prompts!

12. Name a song that makes you feel ethereal.

Walking on a Dream - Empire of the Sun - cover by Mree. One of my favs (and very kh-esque too :))

28. Name a book you don’t mind reading over and over.

I haven’t actually reread it in full, but “This Is How You Lose the Time War” by Amal El-Mohtar and Max Gladstone was such so incredibly written that I backtracked a few times while reading to fully appreciate some moments. I absolutely recommend giving it a read if you have the chance!

Spoilers for Reverie Audios, You’re Gruff Dragon-Shifter Boyfriend Gets Clingy and Brings You to His “Hoard”.

No casualties! Of course however I’ve watched too many audios like these and think someone is covering things up.

Yay, clingy Des hugs!!! 🥰

While I did realize Law, Neo, & Gage were on the train together, it didn’t actually hit me until I started this one that that is Des and Newbie’s entire team! Now I’m crying.

Ok, so Desmond is feeling like he does before a shift, while shifters on the train, well, shifted. So like they said it’s a shifter thing. But what would cause something of that radius? Granted I don’t know how far the yard is from the train. It is just so interesting and odd that all the shifters even ones not near the train were affected. (Passage brought to you by, how many times can she use some form of shifter in one paragraph?)

Oh, it’s been happening since the project started? I wonder if Neo has had that felt the same off feeling? What is really going on at those gardens???

Newbie definitely made a pouty face when Desmond told them, “Stay.”

“You’re the greatest of all my treasures and I want to keep you with the rest of them. A beauty surrounded by other beauty.” Are you FRICKIN’ KIDDING ME!!! I mean guy!! Are you trying to make my heart stop with the amount of awe inspiring beautiful love radiating from those 2 sentences alone!?!?!? I thought clingy Desmond was going to be adorable, but this?!?! Come on man!! I literally had to pause the video and just sit and contemplate that statement! Not only those lines coming from the grumpy tsundere dragon shifter, but those lines being put into the universe for our ears! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I may be overreacting, but I don’t care! Thank you for that! And thank you all for coming to my, fluent in lonely and interpreted by eternally single, ramble! 😆

Dang right he deserves all the kisses after that!

So, I’m going to assume based on how calm they were, they don’t know the guys are on the train that just crashed or they didn’t hear/pay attention to the report because Newbie was smashing rocks.

Great work as always!!! Can’t wait for the next one whenever you’re ready!!!

Stay cool and hydrated everyone, it’s too freaking hot! 🥵

"Call the Nightingale" by Vian Izak and Juniper Vale + "[skototropism]" by Crywolf are officially the biggest musical influences on this new demon character. Also "where did the sun go?" by Lor.

who is/are your comfort character(s)?

6. why did you do that?

Because it's the right thing to do 🤷

33. the last adventure you’ve been on?

Last year, my uni friends went out of town for a vacation and we also went to a beach. It was my first time going to a beach and it was breathtaking! I also picked up a lot of seashells and bought lots of foods and souvenirs. One of my highlights in 2022 ❤️

I get why people opt for joint last names when they get married, but to me it is a mere shade away from true independence. You recognize the antiquated implications of subsuming yourself in the familial identity of your partner by adopting their surname, and instead seek a more egalitarian representation of your person by creating one new surname out of two. This decision however belies it's intention by honoring the patriarchal naming conventions that preceeded it. This is why I believe that when people seek to get married they should be made aware that they and their partner can just make up a new last name to share and also that the character limitations/length cap for it should be extinguished so you can get a little crazy with it. Emojis kaomojis and ascii and all. The new era of surnames should look like light novel titles. No more Bob Smith-Johnsons. The age of Bob Vow of Eternal Bloodlust: Cursed Eyes of the Twilight Moon ~Reverie for the Cyber Witch~✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ is now. If important government software crashes from being unable to accommodate these changes it is what it is.

Calmness ✧

Plot: Ken and you have a real daughter.

A/N: kinda short :(

Soft evening light filtered through the den, casting everything in that warm, nostalgic glow you'd come to associate with pure contentment over these past few blissful years together.

Ken's attention remained transfixed on that vintage baseball game rerun flickering across the flatscreen.

Body settled deep into those overstuffed couch cushions with one leg casually crossed over the other in peak middle-aged dad repose.

But it was the tiny, swaddled bundle cradled against his barrel chest that held your rapt fascination from the archway.

Soaking in every precious detail of their serene tableau with an overflow of maternal adoration swelling in your breast.

At just three months old, your newborn daughter remained utterly oblivious to her surroundings - cherubic features smoothed into perfect repose while bronzed lashes fanned over porcelain cheeks.

One little fist tucked up beneath her chin while the other tiny starfish hand rested atop Ken's broad pec, rising and falling with each of his steady rumbles.

Her doting father absently brushed the pad of his thumb in soothing circles over the minuscule knuckles. Never once taking those transfixed mahogany pools off your slumbering miracle's face as if committing every microscopic shift to eternal memory.

That singular worshipful reverie you'd immediately recognized and fallen hopelessly in love with all over again these past few weeks.

The exact same soul-deep look Ken once bestowed solely upon the orphaned kaiju he'd raised before watching her depart for greener pastures - now magnified tenfold through his unbreakable connection to your shared offspring.

A permanent reminder of the family you created together from that cosmic loneliness.

"She's not at all like Emi was , is she?" You murmured, footsteps barely audible across the plush carpet until dropping onto the open cushion space beside him.

Ken responded with only a low rumbling hum from his broad chest while immediately unfurling that sheltering arm around your shoulders.

Cocooning you into his solid, familiar warmth until your cheek smooshed comfortably against the firmness of his shoulder. Close enough to press a wandering caress across your tiny miracle's silken crown.

"No - she's not. She's ours." A meaningful pause preceded Ken's soft, gravelly rasp ghosting across your hairline. "Our daughter...our real baby that you gave me, sweetheart. One I'll guard with my life the same way I do for you always."

Melting into the tender, possessive squeeze encircling your trim waist, you craned your chin up against his collarbone to receive that lingering brush over your puckered lips.

Ken's soulful gaze locked onto yours - swimming depths of protective ferocity tamed only through utter reverence for the two solitary souls anchoring his universe now.

The unspoken mantra of doing anything to safeguard the loves of his life until extinction itself.

"You've already given me more than enough happiness to last a trillion lifetimes, babe. Thank you," he whispered hoarsely against your skin.

"For being everything I could've dreamed during those cold, empty decades..."

You stifled the tiny sniffle by reclaiming his questing mouth in a searing, needful communion - conveying through satin caresses alone just how desperately you treasured this man and the profound sanctuary of family he'd bestowed upon you.

Your Ultraman, protector, partner, and living legacy of insurmountable love all in one. Cradling you both to his gallant hero's heart for eternity.

PHANTASMAGORIA! MYSTIC FLOUR :D (Pre Corruption)

With cameos from Knowledge and Eternal Sugar (or Eternal Reverie as I've decided for this AU)

[harunayuuka2060]

*The audience, especially Vil's fans, are expressing concern and worry about how the NRC group will fare, since they are the last to perform.*

Maleficia: What is causing all this commotion among the people?

Baul: I believe it's because Their Highness's group is performing last, putting them at a significant disadvantage.

Maleficia: My grandchild's group? At a disadvantage, you say?

Lilia: There's no need to panic.

Malleus: Indeed. Being the final act can provide an opportunity to create a lasting impression.

Baul: You say that, but...

*Some audience members wish to leave early due to exhaustion from the earlier performances.*

Random person A: Can't we just vote already?

Random person B: But Vil hasn't performed yet.

Malleus, Maleficia, Baul, and Lilia: ...

The emcee: I appreciate your patience. Now, without further ado, it's time for the moment you've all been waiting for... the NRC group!

The audience: *cheers*

*MC, Vil, Rook, Epel, Ace, Deuce, Kalim, and Jamil entered the stage in their uniforms, taking their respective positions (with Vil, of course, at the center).*

*The stage lights dim, and the moment the music begins, the lights brighten again, revealing their historical ikemen outfits.*

The audience: !!!

*Fifteen minutes before the performance, MC spoke to them about their chances of winning the competition.*

MC: I admit I didn’t realize we would be the last to perform. Still, do I think our chances of winning are low? *smiles* Not at all.

MC: We will enchant the audience with our performance, almost akin to the feeling of falling in love.

Lyrics:

Kalim: Everything I know is the melodies and symphonies

Jamil: Everything I know is a life without light

Kalim: (I will always be alone)

Rook: There's a longing inside my soul

Vil: And in the deepest void where time is but a scenery

Vil: I'll be waiting for you!

All: Darling look into my eyes and tell me what's inside

Vil: Truth be told my dear, you don't know what it's like to leave it all behind

All: Take a step into the night,

All: hear the voices singing la la la la la""

Deuce: Dancing gracefully to the beat of your heart

Epel: Until the morning comes TO STEAL YOU AWAY!!!

Ace and Deuce: All I ever knew was that you and me were meant to be

MC and Vil: All I ever knew was the taste of your lips against mine

Rook: (You are mine forevermore)

MC: We were bound for eternity

Vil: Now I am lost inside this everlasting reverie

Vil: And I'm losing my mind

All: Darling look into my eyes and tell me what's inside

MC: Truth be told my dear, you don't know what it's like to leave it all behind

All: Take a step into the night,

All: hear the voices singing la la la la la

MC: Come away with me through the echoes of time

All: Until the morning comes to steal you away!

Vil: Darling look into my eyes and tell me what's inside

Vil: Truth be told my dear, you don't know what it's like...

All: Take a step into the night,

All: hear the voices singing la la la la la

All: Come away with me through the echoes of time

All: Until the morning comes to steal you away

All: So you looked into my eyes and brought me back to life

Vil: I still think of you in the dark of the night

Vil: A silent lullaby

Vil: I'll be waiting here 'til the end of all days

Vil: *a tear rolls down his cheek*

Vil: My nocturnal serenade...

The audience: ...

The audience: *all stood up and cheered*

Malleus, Maleficia, Lilia, and Baul: ...

Baul: *starts ugly crying*

Maleficia: It's beautiful...

Malleus: *proud dad smile*

Lilia: Their performance has just finished but the song is etched in my mind.

Ace: AHH! FINALLY!

Epel: *was actually scared earlier* I thought I would make a mistake!

Rook: *chuckles* You did well, Epel!

Vil: *feels restless*

Rook: Roi du Poison?

Vil: ...

Vil: Rook, do you think we've done enough to defeat Royal Sword Academy?

Rook: ...

Rook: *smiles*

Rook: Roi du Poison, while I’m uncertain about our chances of winning, it's clear that you are the fairest of them all, and everyone recognizes that.

Vil: ...

Vil: *smiles*

Kalim: Guys? Do you know where MC is?

Jamil: They went to greet their grandmother.

Maleficia: Congratulations, my dear. *pampers MC with light kisses on the face*

MC: *chuckles* Nana, the results haven't been announced yet.

Malleus: *clears throat* *waiting for his turn to congratulate his child*

Maleficia: You can wait.

Malleus: ...

Lilia: *laughs*

MC: *notices that Baul isn't with them*

MC: Where is Sir Baul?

Lilia: Maybe he got hungry and went to buy some food.

Baul: *looking sternly at Ruggie*

Ruggie: ...

Baul: You.

Ruggie: I don't know you, sir—

Baul: YOU WERE STARING ADMIRINGLY AT THEIR HIGHNESS!

Ruggie: NO! AS IF!

The Tenacity Of Hope

Now, in this land, in times beyond our forefathers, Beyond those who were first and merely squatters–  Those who crossed the Delaware’s frozen waters,  Those brought and sold as economic fodder,  Those who charged ashore into lead breakwaters– These people were real, not the myths some now proffer. 

So in this day is it our intent to say  (As, from our ideals, we’ve now run astray)  That the reality of their truth has today Such little value it can be cast away?

Of course, times have changed, and yet so have we, So perhaps what we need is a reverie,  A vision of a future that can still be seen, Free from the authoritarian political machine,

A vision for you and me–for all to see–  The path from here to where we should be, One that can clarify and bring into view  All the types of things we all must do.

So, what should be our new vision's theme?  "Liberty or Death" or “I have a dream”?  Or something newer, a rallying call Like the one we heard one glorious fall  When, out of nowhere, came a politician; and I tell you what, he was on a mission, Because this guy had devised a simple plan  The “Audacity of Hope” plus “Yes We Can.” 

He made us see that what we face  Is not beyond our knowledge base, That we have the strength to carry on  And to lay down foundations whereupon  We can build a new future–with all our hands– And begin to enact all of the types of plans  That shepherd that future and serve to guide it  Down a path we can walk with Pride beside it. 

Of course, that was then, and this is now, So we face the eternal question: how?  How is it that we can respond to this  When so many feel things are still so amiss? When so many people live in a world without facts While cheering on a demagogue's authoritarian acts?  When majorities cry victim as they still oppress  Any who dare to offend the fragile views they possess? 

Sadly, history shows these troubles have been seen before Whenever bigots and despots blame the tired and poor, So we must keep up the resistance and fight on once again,  Just as those before us who worked to move us to Now from Then.

First, we must remember that "Yes We Can"  Was simply so much more than a single man–  That rallying call was built on aspiration, Calling out to us all as if a gauntlet thrown,   A challenge sent out to the entire nation  To earn the ideals that we claim to own. 

Yes, we can meet this challenge, but to do so, we must rise Up to meet the gaze of all those with hate within their eyes- Just as those before us who stood up to all the tyrants of the past, Ironclad in their convictions, hope unconstrained by class or caste.

So in this Now we must speak out, vote, and protest;  We must summon our strength of will and refuse to shrink From the unending trials of our democratic contest  With all those who seek to push us to the brink. 

Now we know what our path requires and what should be our plan– A single tweet, a single letter, a single vote that Yes She Can!

For it is in all of the faces of our can-be-great nation That we see how it is we will cope,  Showing all, through our audacity and determination,  The true Tenacity Of Our Hope.
