#eva: yeah no im not calling you that

[nebula-nonhuman]

I just wanted to say that anyone who would judge you for the origin of your alterhumanity is wrong. Although certain circles require a spiritual connection to ones 'types to view one as genuinely alterhuman there is a rising acceptance of psychological reasoning. This includes many fighting for the acceptance of those whose alterhuman stems from trauma and/or mental illness. I hope one day you don't feel the need to add a disclaimer to your bio because your reason for not being human IS as legitimate as any other and you are as much nonhuman as any other.

Awww, thank you! We think that we'd still rather have that piece of information in our bio even if everyone was accepting, though we'd probably word it differently. I think we'd preserve it because it would help us avoid unnecessary explanations in discussions - someone who is non-human because they feel that they were born that way likely has a different experience than someone who is non-human because of trauma/abuse.

ONE MORE MATCH! ON TO THE QUIDDITCH WORLD CUP!!!

[astranite]

Love is Stored in the Pasta

Scott, John and pasta.

This started off from a tumblr post 'cause somebody needed to cook that guy some pasta!!

Fluff, Hurt/Comfort, really very mild scott is hangrysad, ft john's space issues, Chronic Illness, as thats what im treating it as and its not the focus here he's just living with it, Scott Tracy has ADHD, this is important, Autistic John Tracy, lowkey here but also Important to me, this is fun and fluffy and i love them, i hope this is like a warm comforting bowl of pasta to you too

---

“We need to talk,” John said.

On the other side of the call, Scott’s hologram slumped over his desk, his head landing in his hands. “Oh God.”

“I found your search history…” John began.

Scott peered out sheepishly from behind his fingers. “I can explain!”

“It’s just pages and pages of pasta?” 

John was puzzled, honestly. Five to ten recipe blogs and that was Scott trying to decide what to make for dinner during a meeting or while he was struggling to concentrate on work. During lulls between callouts, he and John would sometimes debate options together. More than forty separate sites visited at 3:12pm on a Tuesday afternoon and Eos had flagged it for John, on suspicion that Scott’s computer had been hacked by a malicious entity or some other AI virus.

Scott went from double facepalm of despair to full on faceplant, his head hitting the desk with an audible thunk.

“Why so much pasta?” John questioned. Now his curiosity was piqued, he couldn’t let it go or he’d be doing EVA work later, still turning over possibilities in his mind, which wasn’t conducive to the constant concentration needed while floating around in the vacuum. Outside, any misstep would be your last.

“I dunno. I just feel like pasta,” Scott mumbled into the wood.

Scott sounded…weird. Like he was about to start laughing, or coming down with a cold.

“Scott? Are you okay?”

It had better not be another flu; corralling Scott to take care of himself was hard enough even if he wasn’t feverish. John wouldn’t be able to come down either, quarantined up in Five unless he already had it. Was the slight tug of a headache at his temples from his sinuses beginning to clog up too?

Scott hadn’t looked up yet; his shoulders were shaking. John wiggled his fingers anxiously.

“Scotty?”

Big brother’s head shot up at the nickname John so rarely used. Had John intended to provoke that reaction? The name had been a slip of the tongue but if he was was honest, he sort of had meant to jar Scott out of his thoughts. He never called Scott, Scotty unless he was scared though. And Scott not answering him did tick tick tick up his system from yellow alert into red.

“I’m fine, it’s okay. Don’t worry about me.” Scott’s words ran over each other in an attempt to come first. His voice sounded oddly wet.

Tears, yes those were indeed tears dulled by holographic format, tumbled down Scott’s cheeks.

As soon as he saw John looking, Scott turned away.

Suddenly, John landed on the spark of insight that he had a hunch would crack the code to his big brother’s distress. “Have you eaten anything all day?”

Scott dug around for tissues in a drawer of the desk and gave a half shrug. “I guess not—not really? I tried to before you say anything. Got a mouthful of breakfast in and then there was a call out. Lunch didn’t happen, there was a meeting, I had to make coffee, I ran out of time. I don’t really feel hungry though…”

That did explain a few things. It was well known family lore that Virgil and Alan got hangry, and Gords went all sad and mopey. Scott and John himself though, they got …really, unstably emotional. 

So yeah, hence the unexpected bursting into tears. John got the whole shit interoception and not even noticing if you needed to eat while you were buried in work thing; Scott was way too used to ignoring his body too. 

John took a deep breath. “Scott, and I’m one-hundred percent serious about this, do you want me to come down there and make you some pasta?”

Thunderbird Five systems whirred around John in the quiet as Scott hesitated.

“Maybe,” he whispered. “Or you don’t have to, I’ll wait, Virge’ll be doing dinner in a bit anyway.”

“Virgil won’t be up until past sunset after the hours Thunderbird Two was out yesterday and into this morning,” John said gently. “You need to eat before then.”

Nor would an overwhelmed Scott and the kitchen be a good combination at this point, and John saw the moment Scott realised this, while fidgeting with the rubix cube on his desk. 

“I want to do this for you,” John told him.

Scott dashed at his eyes, sniffled a few times and finally capitulated. “Okay. Thanks, Jay.”

John smiled and signed off, heading for the space elevator. He was usually so far away, he was right now, but it was in his power to close off that distance when he needed to and today he could use that. 

He farewelled Eos; she so often missed him but the opportunities to run the space station on her own that weren’t emergencies where he was incapacitated excited her. They showed how much he had come to trust and rely on her. Plus she got full reign of their virtual chess set.

On Earth, Scott was waiting for him as the elevator docked, his hands stuck casually in his jeans pockets but looking as pale and wobbly as John felt. His face was still tearstained.

“Hey.”

“Hey to you too.” John took a few heavy steps before throwing himself at Scott, wrapping his arms around his brother tightly, all the while careful not to knock him off balance. Scott stiffened then melted into John. 

Usually that interaction went the other way around. 

Scott used the extra height space gave John to rest his head on him without having to duck down like with everyone else. John hugged him close and comfortingly as his fingers tap tap tapped their rhythm at Scott’s shoulder. All of it meant I love you.

“Pasta time?” John said eventually.

Scott nodded silently, following when John started off towards the kitchen. The raw rock wall of the hanger was rough and vividly solid in its three dimensions, as John ran his hand along it for balance as he walked that initial part. He was touching the Earth, he was in the Earth, he was on Earth.

With cold water from the fridge dispenser and the fizzy, brightly coloured tablets shook out of their tube, John made up lidded cups of electrolyte drink for himself and Scott. John needed to be sculling the stuff perpetually to stay upright down here, and he would not be at all surprised if Scott was dehydrated too. It might to something for John’s headache, could go either way for the nausea coming on.

He put a large pot on the heat. One advantage of having a stove so high powered that it could nuke anything it touched was that any volume of water boiled fast. 

An entire packet of fettuccine got tipped into the enthusiastic cacophony of bubbles. John poked at it with a pasta scoop, regretting that he hadn’t snapped the long pieces to actually fit in better. Ah well. 

He shook in an excessive-to-anyone-not-him amount of salt with a shrug ‘cause he needed it, before having another go at separating the pasta. The pasta scoop was quite an effective implement for that, there were reasons after all it was Gordon’s favourite utensil as John remembered from previous discussions. One could also use it to mash potatoes when held vertically, if one so pleased. His second favourite was the tongs as they could be clicked like crab claws and used to pinch unsuspecting siblings. 

Scott watched from his place slumped over the kitchen bench on a stool, chewing on the ragged skin at the edge of his thumbnail. He was trying to work on a couple of screens pulled up as holomonitors, as unsuccessfully as could be expected. John came over and hopped up to sit on the bench, clipping through the projected email inbox and meeting minutes so Scott dismissed them. It was with a sigh of relief.

They smiled tiredly at each other.

The pasta! John tapped at his uniform comms watch. “Eos, set a timer for the pasta, please?” John shaved the minute that had already passed off of the box time and then another couple to ensure it wouldn’t come out mushy.

“So what sort of stuff on pasta do you feel like? There’s a good lot of options you were looking at earlier.”

“We don’t have the ingredients for most of those, I checked. No eggs and no mushrooms so no carbonara. Technically that wouldn’t be authentic carbonara though. No cream cheese. We missed this week’s supply run so we don’t even have any frozen peas!” Scott threw his hands up in the air.

“Hmmm. You feel like something creamy?”

“Yeah. Honestly at this point I’d eat anything.”

John swung his legs and tapped his fingers on the counter while he thought.

“I believe some bacon is hiding in the bottom of the freezer so that’s something. And…” he trailed of as he moved his head too fast and set off a wave of dizziness as he looked around the kitchen.

“Avocado!” Scott exclaimed.

“Avocado?”

“Funny story, we ended up with several cases of them after that rescue on that farm where we saved the whole village and nearly all their trees from catastrophic flooding. They really need eating too and there’s only so much toast you can stand.”

“I have heard theoretically of putting avo on pasta and it does sound good. Mmmm bacon and avocado, John hummed. “Worth a shot?”

Scott reached towards the fruit bowl in answer, grinning at John. “Soon we will have pasta!”

John peeled off the upper half of his uniform and tied the arms around his waist in preparation. In the subtropical summer down here he was already getting too hot and while the temperature regulation built into his suit would do its best to make up for his own body’s lack thereof, it felt weird to have everything covered up from fingertips to neck down here while he was cooking.

Scott began to giggle.

“Huh?” John said, extremely eloquently.

Scott gestured at him. 

“My suit?” Was something up with his suit? The full gloved hands and sleeves flopping about without John in them had been known to amuse the lot of them on occasion, ever since he’d used the empty suit as a phoney decoy of himself to trick Eos. It was pretty funny now no one was in mortal peril and Eos was his friend.

“Your face!” Scott exclaimed.

“What’s wrong with my face?” 

John frowned. Was it his fringe that never could survive true gravity? He hadn’t gotten freckles while he’d been down all of half an hour and inside, had he? Then he looked down.

His t-shirt had a photograph of his face printed on it, and across the chest, emblazoned in neon orange read the words ‘Space Face’, courtesy of one particular fish brother. Ah yes. That.

John sighed, resting his chin on his hand to hide the smile he couldn’t quite control. “Not exactly subtle, is it? In my defence this was the only one in my closet that was clean and you can’t exactly see it beneath my suit. It’s all Gordon’s fault anyway!”

Scott was still laughing, albeit a touch hysterically and at him, but John took it as a win regardless.

Eventually Scott grabbed himself a cutting board and knife to get to work on the avocados as John carefully slipped off the bench, steadying himself on the counter as his ankles went noodley so he could handle the bacon. 

Bacon, bacon, now where had he seen that bacon? He had the image of it in his head, but that was only one piece of the puzzle, a photograph, humanly imperfect, memory woven out of instinct. Digging about in the deep freeze which the evidence pointed to as best John could tell had his fingers feeling like he’d stuck them out in space with out gloves on. They ached sharply as John cursed his crappy circulation. 

He gladly found the bacon though, lurking at the second darkest depths. He would not be willing to venture into the midnight zone of Unidentified Frozen Objects and charred dinner leftovers put away for ‘later’. He chucked the packet into the microwave and thawed out his hands by running them under lukewarm water, wincing all the while. If he’d thought this through, if he’d been smart enough, he would’ve put his suit gloves back on—his space rated, cold proof, most definitely impervious to domestic appliances gloves— and saved himself the pain.

Scott came over to rinse his avocado green hands. He dried them off then wrapped his arms around John’s waist so he could lean on him, giving in for a moment in face of daunting gravity. With Scott, he could because Scott got him; they both could.

“You alright?” And there was big brother smotherhen coming out.

John flexed his defrosted fingers. “I will be.” He turned and smushed his face into Scott’s neck for a little bit, hugging back, Scott rested his head on John’s, and they stayed there for a while.

They were both fading. The pasta would help with that, Scott really needed to eat and so did John at this point, the half a dry bagel for breakfast and another at lunch hadn’t really been enough. The trick now was finishing the task that felt as if it expanding faster by the second than the Universe, as measured by the Hubble Constant was. They could do this though. Together.

Scott chopped up the bacon roughly and John cooked it, hissing back when it spat hot oil at him. 

When Eos notified them the timer had gone off, and John had very scientifically tested the pasta was done by nomming on a bit, he called Scott over carry the large pot to the colander in the sink to strain. 

“Gravity plus boiling water plus my space noodley arms are probably not a good combo,” he laughed. 

He was getting better at knowing his limits. Scott’s smile was small and proud, he saw John.

Scott stared at the bacon with the intensity of a starved wolf with its mouth watering, then stole some pieces hot from the pan and burnt his mouth. Scoff Tracy strikes again. 

They dumped the pasta in a big mixing bowl with the mashed avocado, a little lemon juice, the bacon, and a whole lot of salt, pepper and parmesan cheese, mixing it together with the big pasta scoop.

John swayed on his feet then, grabbing onto Scott to stay upright for long enough to decide actually the best place for him right now was sitting on the kitchen floor just here. John folded himself down to the ground in a slithering pile of too long, too bendy limbs, Scott wordlessly guiding his descent. 

“You want me to grab some sporks to eat with?”

“They’re splayds, technically,” John remarked. He gave Scott the thumbs up anyway, while he rested his spinning head on his knees.

Scott waved about his ‘sporks’ acquired from the cutlery draw with a victorious grin before he sunk to the ground to join John.

John took one, passing the pasta to Scott once he was settled, lanky legs stretched out for miles, bumping into John’s.

“We forgot plates,” Scott said.

John shrugged. “At this point, who cares. We have pasta.”

“We do.” Scott blinked for a moment. “I didn’t before and I wouldn’t’ve but now we do.”

He hugged the warm pasta bowl to his chest, and when John observed more closely he saw the tears collecting on Scott’s eyelashes, sparkling in the kitchen light as he looked up at John.

“Thanks. I love you so much, Jay.”

John gave him a gentle smile, ducking to knock his forehead against his brother’s shoulder like a cat. “Love is stored in the pasta.”

Scott smiled back at him and they both dug in.

It was good pasta.

Really good pasta, because he was here with Scott and through everything they had made it, together.

a lot of them i sorted into certain ones just cause i felt it was the closest to their personality (hybrids i couldn't decide, so i just put both) but some i really just didn't know (sky and sam are examples of that). sorry for the abundance of jewel hive and severe lack of seawings, i kinda struggled with revising (and making) this jsabkdbsoqjkd

i also have no idea if this au will follow the wof plot/universe or the td universe?? that's kinda my main dilemma when it comes to my lack of ideas, cause i guess i could do both (and come up with altered/new challenges for the td universe) but idk

so yeah :3

hello gay people. guess who's desperate for readers? this guy. totally stealing this from my friend @kyathedino's old post.

ANYWAYS. without further ado: here is 7 Witherbhrn After School News fanfics that i wrote you should read :))

first up is "lost in the woods [3 am, gone wrong, not clickbait]" by ChaoticSock. The Reporter sees a face outside her window and follows it.

this next rec is kind of a two parter? i have a series called "No Homo! (very homo)" that has "#HomosexualAndHomophobic" and "Dyce and His..... Buddy Josh".

"#HomosexualAndHomophobic"is a classic fic of two times Dyce didn't realize he was a boy kisser and the one time he has a realization.

"Dyce and His..... Buddy Josh" is a cute fall festival date fic between an original male character and Dyce! A certain sapphic couple may make an appearance...

fourth?? rec is "there is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin". It follows the theory of Alice Doyle being The Reporter and Robing Hoffman being Birdie. Taking place at the tail end of the homecoming episode, Alice finds she might have a date to homecoming after all. (it has two endings because i originally was going to write that hurt no comfort but ended up putting the og ending in a separate chapter so the girls could have a sweet ending)

"To Save Me From Tears, I'll Give It To Someone Special" is a Winter Holiday fic! It's focused mainly on The Reporter and Dyce's friendship woth snippets of other characters. very sweet and adorable.

"without a thought, without a voice, without a soul (don't let me die here)" is a fic I wrote set after Mrs. Calloway's house being set on fire. vaguely spoilery but like. eh. The Reporter, Dyce and Birdie are trying to figure out what happened to the Missing but will they regret what they find?

and finally! my most recent and the one im honestly most proud of!! "oh, lay my curses out to rest (make a mercy out of me)" It's six snapshots of Eva Sinanger's very tragic life. Extremely sad because it is canon compliant.

yeah uh, not a lot but i'm slowly writing more when i'm not grinding at work and all that. teehee. i also just realized how many of mine have some semblance of angst lmao

Antonio- Wedding

My worries about something going wrong came true. Laura didn't drop off Eva and Diego at Gabby's place

"YN you need to calm down"

"What if she's ran off with the kids again because she doesn't like me?"

"If she's done that then Antonio, Jay and everyone else at intelligence will find them, right Kim?"

"Right"

"Does Antonio know?"

"Yes. He's trying to get ahold of Laura now" Gabby responds guiding me to the chair in the dressing room

"I knew something was going to go wrong" I sigh

"Everything's going to be ok" Gabby rubs my arms

"Maybe they're just running late" Sylvie shrugs while bouncing Lucas in her arms

"An hour late?" I raise my eyebrows "Mags hand me my phone"

"And what do you plan on doing?" She asks handing it over

"I'm checking to see if there's been any accidents on the roads" going on to google I find that no accidents have been reported "if there was something wrong why hasn't Laura rang us? Or why hasn't Eva or Diego rang?" There's a knock on the door

"You decent?" I hear Will

"Yeah come on in" Gabby calls. In walks Will and Jay

"Have you heard anything?"

"No. I'm going to go round to Laura's, see if they're home"

"Is that a good idea Jay? I'll go, I'm their aunt"

"Ok" Jay gives in knowing Gabby going is a better idea

"Ring me if they turn up. I'll phone you if they're not...."

"We're here we're here" Eva comes barrelling into the room

"Eva!" I stand up and run over to her "where on earth were you? Will go let Antoni know they're here" Will nods his head and both Jay and Will leave the room. In walks a sheepish Laura

"I'm so sorry YN, we were on our way and the car broke down. I rang for someone to come and help, but my phone died so I couldn't phone you guys, I stupidly told Diego and Eva to leave their phones at home because I didn't think you'd want them to ring during the wedding"

"Ok now YN will you stop stressing out" Kim asks

"Yes, well not not until we've both said I do. I could still be left at the alter" I say freaking out

"Hey" Laura shouts "Antonio loves you and you love him. There's no way he's leaving you at the alter. Now do as you've been told and stop stressing" I give Laura a little smile

"Right I'm off"

"Wait. Stay. I mean that's if you want"

"Thanks, but seeing my ex husband remarry isn't something I would like to see"

"Then at least come to the after party. Get as drunk as you like"

"I'll think about it" Laura smiles then leaves.

Thankfully the wedding goes without a hitch. Will walked me down the aisle while Jay had Lucas.  Antonio and I have our first dance, then he dances with Eva while I dance with Diego. Then what would have been the father daughter dance, I take turns dancing with Jay and Will

"Mrs Dawson, now that's going to take some getting use to" Betty one of my coworkers says walking up to me with a drink in hand

"I think it's going to be weirder for me" I chuckle

"Congratulations YN"

"Thank you Betty" I notice Laura walking over to the bar looking a little lost "excuse me" I say leaving Betty's side "Laura, you came"

"Yeah, I thought I'd at least show my face"

"Well thank you for coming. Look I know we've not really got on in the past, but I'd like to try and get on, for the kids sake"

"I'm just worried"

"I understand. Your their mom" I give a little shrug and smile "you want to make sure that I'm not just going to abandon them, or ignore them or I guess be the 'evil stepmom' but like I've said from day one, Im here for the long hall and I'm not here to replace you"

"I know. I guess some of it was a little bit of jealousy. Antonio's moved on and I haven't"

"Well... if you want Antonio and I could take the kids and you could take your pick of the single guys around here" Laura chuckles

"Thanks but no thanks, I can't let you take Diego and Eva for the night, not your wedding night"

"We already have Lucas what's two more"

"Are you sure?" Nathan another one of my coworkers makes his way over to us

"Congratulations YN"

"Thank you Nathan. Laura, I'm positive, I'll let Antonio know" I then lean into her and whisper "by the way Nathan's single" I nudge her a little and leave her to find my now husband. Husband... a word I didn't think would ever have to say or think about.

Sin and Punishment (2000)

once upon a time, a small company called Treasure existed. they made a bunch of awesome games but none of them sold particularly well, but that didn't stop them. until the early 2010's in which case they actually did stop. oops. either way they had a bunch of cult classics under their belt and had the idea to partner up with nintendo themselves to work on their first fully 3D game.

thus Sin and Punishment was made and it sold twelve billion copies and solved world hunger and world peace was finally achieved. just kidding, no one bought it because it was a japan exclusive N64 game, a country the N64 did awful in. a north amercian release was in mind from the very beginning (to the extent that all the voice acting is in english and not japanese) but it was cancelled because nintendo are cowards. thankfully they rectified this mistake in 2007 when it got released on the virtual console and it's been playable on all their main home consoles ever since. about time.

so what's the deal? why's this game so good? think star fox 64 with the plot of end of evangelion. it's a rail shooter where you have a rapid fire gun, the ability to melee enemies if they get too close, and a player character bound to the laws of gravity that can walk from left to right, jump, and dodge roll. there is also a worthless lock on mode that you should never use.

what follows is a non-stop barrage of action, explosions and vast amounts of awesome boss fights. so, like the best kinda games treasure made. BUT IN 3D!!!!!!! it's always a rush of energy and fun and there's never a dull moment. but it comes at a price: this game is horrifically short. you can easily beat the entire game in around 40 minutes, and aside from unlocking harder difficulties there's not that much of a reason to play again. except yes there is because the game is fun as balls and you can replay it to get a high score. i guess what im trying to say is think of this more as an arcade game rather than a full fledged AAA adventure, and you'll be good.

if you bought this game back when it first came out (somehow) the steep price would've been an issue. but if you have the nintendo switch online expansion pass, this is included in the nintendo 64 catalog for the low low price of 0 dollars. i mean, besides paying for the expansion pass but. you know what i mean. or you could pirate it that's fine too. either way, play this game however you can, it's the very definition of short but sweet. definitely treasure's best game on the N64, just narrowly beating mischief makers, and honestly one of the best games on the N64 in general. play it, you won't be disappointed.

9/10

NOTE: my favorite part was when saki turned into EVA-01 and said "AWW YEAH IT'S SIN AND PUNISHMENT TIME" and he sinned and punished the evil twin clone of the planet earth so hard it exploded. this joke is still funny right.

[metalgearstranding]

So what I'm seeing is: people can't be normal about ocelot being gay, even in year of our lord 2024....

Including such wonderful hits as: Ocelot's denial of attraction to eva in mgs3 outright cant be taken at face value, and in the comments, somehow missing that the scenes between him and quiet are just jelousy, and insisting on ocelot being attracted to sniper wolf (since shes young enough to be his child, this feels kind of uncomfortably close to insinuating a queer character is really straight and predatory towards younger women tbh (can't you tell im really fucking tired of seeing ppl claim ocelot is "canonically" predatory towards women and children characters, and still havent moved on from this shit))

Sorry for laying this on you, but ppl were being really weird in the coments of the oceloteva ask and its really disapointing and fustrating to learn we didnt leave this shit back in 2016

Yeah, I didn't interpret the MGS1 scene with Sniper Wolf as a cat call. It does feel admirative, but not necessarily in a horny way. The shower scene I also didn't interpret Ocelot as ogling Quiet at all. If anything, to me he looks half amused, half a bit annoyed. Personally, I just don't find this convincing at all, not when there are so many more things pointing at a gay interpretation for Ocelot.

And like I told the person in the conversation, you can ship what you want, interpret things how you want when there's room for it. You can even ignore canon entirely, just don't be surprised if other people react negatively. Most of the time it doesn't matter. Ultimately, I don't care if people ship Ocelot and EVA, they can do what they want, I'm not gonna go after them. Just tag your stuff, I'll block the tag, done.

However.

The problem here isn't really that people like some ship or don't, the problem is that how you interpret things can say things about you, and whether you're conscious of it or not, it can reflect harmful trends in culture. As you said anon, queer characters are often portrayed as predatory. And that's when they're not killed off or erased entirely. Historically, queer interpretations of characters have always been mocked and maligned. Characters are automatically straight until proven otherwise, and even when there are plenty of good arguments in favor of a queer interpretations, they're declared invalid. A female and a male character can exchange a glance ONCE in a movie and people will ship them, that's all it takes. A man can change the trajectory of their life after meeting another one, dedicate their entire life to them, die FOR them (and tenderly kiss their clone's cheek after recreating a fight he once had with said clone's father). But nah. Not gay. Impossible. They looked at a woman once, checkmate!

(Can I just say, all of this discourse arose because I made a post about wanting more fics about EVA and Ocelot's friendship. I just read a cute fic and wanted more like it XD)

[antiendovents]

15 questions

I was tagged by @xoxoemynn @not-nervous-jester and @skysofrey <3

1. Are you named after anyone?

My shitty father was/is a giant history nerd and named me after a manuscript (my official name i mean lmao). The manuscript has two parts - the first part became my nickname and the second part became my official name 🤷‍♀️

2. When was the last time you cried?

Maybe April last year, I had a massive fight with someone and burst into tears 😭 Yeah I don't cry that often, more of a let the agonies eat you alive from the inside kinda person

3. Do you have kids?

No and I don't want them either :)

4. Do you use sarcasm?

Nah, idk who she is 🤷‍♀️

5. What’s the first thing you notice about people?

Usually how they treat waiters at a restaurant irl and how angry they get over little things, massive red flag for me. Online, it's def based on how rude they are to people over stupid small stuff. I'll either soft block or straight up unfollow if your idea of fun is putting people down constantly or just being a general dick about fandom stuff that should be fun 🤷‍♀️

6. What’s your eye colour?

Brown eyes like Ed :))

7. Scary movies or happy endings?

I am a massive chicken when it comes to horror! I like the idea of it but I actually do get scared so so much 😭 I can do horror podcasts though but movies/shows etc give me actual sleepless nights. Happy endings all the way babyyy!

8. Any special talents?

Not really, I guess once I watch a show/movie and if I like it (pay attention), I kinda don't need a rewatch for the next year, I can play bits over in my mind if needed lmao

9. Where were you born?

In a hospital where a lot of people in my family were born (strange question!)

10. What are your hobbies?

Reading, puzzles, drawing, and writing :')

11. Do you have any pets?

Yes, I have a dog called Bilbo who recently turned 10. My parents have 4 other dogs called Casper, Eva, Chi, and Tingmo ❤️

12. What sports do you play/have played?

My right knee is busted and I hate physical exercise so I don't play anything adfjvdbf but I used to play cricket in school ✌️ Ooh and I was on the debate team which is a sport to me ahem

5’5”

I'm gonna tag @ella-doe @talkstoself @sherlockig and @aha-my-villainous-thoughts (no pressure obv and feel free to lmk if you hate getting tagged in stuff like this)

[a-tale-of-legends]

yaknow what since im obsessing over sims and stressing over ignoring animal crossing; what's all of your ocs fave video games? (or just genre works too!)

Ooooh that's a good one. I don't play a lot of games IRL so. Just mostly the genre here

Jin - Hmmmmm, I can see Jin using video games as an outlet for their anger when they were younger. Essentially those beat em up games that don't really require strategy and just beating things to a pulp. It's very cathartic.

Kohaku - Doesn't usually play video games, but she would like those survival/scavenger games. She already does it irl, so it comes easy to her.

Kenji - I think Kenji has a wide variety of tastes when it comes to video games, despite his appearance. I think the only thing he doesn't really care for or stomach are those war games n horror. His top faves would be jrpg and general turn based rpg's ( so think omori and undertale). Racing games are also very good.

Aiko - Fighting games,I think. Like smash, or street fighter. She would really enjoy those.

Beryl - Beryl has two older siblings, one of which is a more avid gamer than they are, so any equivalent to Smash or Mario kart is something they would absolutely enjoy. They have a guilty pleasure of beating the others in said games: you can't blame her! She's a younger sibling, they deserve some victories.

Danica - Indie horror is a favorite, surprising no one. But she actually tends to lean towards more cozy games. Think stardew valley or animal crossing.

Kiran - Puzzle games are something that Kiran gravitates to! But if I'm being honest, he's more likely to listen to video games soundtracks while working ( or napping) than sit down and play a game. He's more of a watcher than doer.

Alexis and Elliot - they have most experience with group party games ( with Cheren and Bianca) and absolutely love rhythm/ music games. Surprising no one lol.

Eva - Hmm. This one's hard. I have no doubt that Eva plays video games but not sure if I can place a personal favorite for her. She kinda just goes with whatever.

Wayne - Anything sci-fi. This kinda goes for movies too. Specifically stuff with cool aliens n stuff.

Jude - Horror lol. Indie horror, they think those are more compelling than triple A games.

Dante - Also horror, but don't tell anyone.

Ames - Hmmmmm. Another hard one. Really shows my lack of knowledge here lol. The best I can describe it is like ...funky? Funky little games, if that makes sense.Ream weird but endearing ones. Maybe Undertale like her brother. Yeah.

Ray - is very good at puzzle games, but also games in general??? The type of guy who you call to do a hard level for you. Actually now that I think about it, he would like Hollow Knight.

Naomi- Cozy relaxing games! She would find games like stardew valley amusing.

Carol - MYSTERY GAMES!!!! Ghost trick would be a fav. Also otome games, ironically.

Luca - I think he would really like the pokemon equivalent to Mario kart!

R.B- Doesn't exactly know, she's still figuring herself out in terms of her likes and dislikes. Penny and Luca are helping her with that. Right now she just goes with whatever.

Whumptober Day 2! Prompt: “All the light’s going dark and my hope’s destroyed.” Animal trap | Captivity | “No one will find you.”

Legend was a bunny. He was in his bunny form. How though, he has no fucking idea. One minute he was in his bedroll, sound asleep (for the first time) and then the next his feet were paws and he was pink, sitting in the middle of a road. His initial thoughts were of course, panic, and how did this happen? The chain weren’t there, only the bunny and the crisp air. His ears twitched and picked up footsteps but when he checked his surroundings there was no sign of a living thing. An arrow slid into the ground beside him and he startled. A profound fear gripped him and wouldn’t let go no matter how many times the veteran had attempted to reassure himself. He was a hero of courage not a bunny goddess-damnit. A sweet smell caught his attention for no reason. Legend was trying so hard not to let his bunny side take over, but the smell was just so good.

He saw a fucking apple and then realized that was what his bunny side was yearning for. He tried to walk away, he really did, because it was blatantly obvious that it was a trap. But his bunny form had a mind of its own and he found himself leaping towards the fruit. The vet picked the apple up and resisted the urge to bite into it. What was he doing? Why was this apple so tempting? It’s just an apple. Suddenly there was a sharp pain in his back and he flopped to the ground, a red liquid pooling below him. Damnit Legend, what were you thinking?! “Heh heh, this ones quite th’ catch. Never seen a pink rabbit before, maybe it’ll sell fer a lot!” A gruff and cold voice chuckled deeply.

“I bet so. I betcha no one’s eva seen a pink one like dis!” Another voice sounded and clammy hands scooped him up.

Legend was horrified. No, no, no this couldn’t be happening! He hasn’t even figured out why he got into his bunny form, or where his brothers went, he had no time to get captured! He struggled weakly against his captors, trying to ignore the agony that was spreading through him. “Yer okay little bunny, we’re doing ya a favour, gettin’ ya a home!” The one that was holding him tried to assure.

The vet did NOT want a home. He was not a bunny! “This one’ll sell fer 1000 rupees, guaranteed!” The gruff voice cackled.

Black spots danced through his vision as he fell unconscious. His last thoughts were that he wasn’t going to make it back to his fellow heroes. He had failed.

-/-

“Andrew don’t be too hard on th’ little lad. We want ‘im ta live.” The gruff voice from earlier, was the first thing Legend heard when he awakened.

Looking around he was in a small cage, a very cramped one. Glancing through the bars he was able to see that he was in a room. “Yeah, yeah I know Charlie.” The one called Andrew responded.

“Oh he’s awake! We should git ‘im that apple. We want the creature to trust us, ay?” Charlie grinned.

“Yup, let’s show ‘im how kind we can be.” Andrew sighed, not really sounding sincere.

Legend wouldn’t deny it, he was anxious. He was powerless in his bunny form, he hadn’t kept the ability to talk, and he didn’t have the chain to help him. Last time he was a bunny, he had Sky and Twilight, and he is very grateful for them. But, now, he was in a dangerous situation without anyone but the jerks that took him. The veteran didn’t know Andrew or Charlie, but he just hoped they wouldn’t hurt him. If Legend was sold, then he might be able to run away and find Sky, get the Master Sword. But right now, he couldn’t do anything but listen to the men talk. “Here ya go little thing.” Charlie shoved a little slice of an apple through the cage.

The vet didn’t know if he trusted this apple to just be an apple. He warily sniffed at it, sensing some sort of thing injected into it. Of course. “C’mon lil guy! It’s food!” Andrew urged.

The veteran did not want to get poisoned, no thank you. He leaned as far away as he could from the apple slice, even though his bunny side was again yearning for an apple slice. “Does it not want ta eat?” Charlie frowned.

“Agh, just eat th’ damn thing already bunny!” Andrew shook the cage violently, frustration clear in his tone.

Anger issues. That caused the hoarder to slide down and his mouth slammed into the apple slice, making him inhale it. The veteran was chanting ‘no’ in his head, trying to stay awake as whatever was in the apple slice attempted to make him sleep. But eventually he had to give in, no strength left whatsoever. His vision was darkening, and he felt like he had no hope. If he was sold and managed to escape, he had no idea where the chain were. There was that voice in his head that kept nagging at him, saying that no one would want him anyway.

‘No one will find you’

-/-

When the veteran woke once more he was still in that cage, but the cage was moving in a wagon. Little bumps in the road rang through his ears and he felt nauseous. What was he—oh right. That food that he had unintentionally digested, put him to sleep. Why though? Was the question perturbing him. “Who wants ta see a pink bunny? He’s intelligent!” Charlie shouted, startling Legend.

Who would fall for that? What kind of business skills were those? Legend scowled, even a rock could sell stuff better than this man. But still there was a little girl that walked up with her mother. “Mommy look!” The little girl ran up and peered in the cage.

The mother looked extremely tired as she walked over. “Kassie, we don’t have time for this.”

“But Moooooom~” The little girl, presumably Kassie, whined.

“Are ya sure this ain’t worth yer time? This lil’ guy is pretty cheap.” Charlie grinned, slamming his fists on the cage for no real reason, making Legend flinch.

“Can I get him, please Mom? Pleeeeease?” Kassie begged.

The mother sighed. “How much is the bunny?”

“Well, 1000 rupees ‘f course! Ma buddy and I worked very hard ta get ‘im settled.” Charlie answered.

Legend wanted to growl, but it would likely come out as a squeak or something stupid like that. “That’s not cheap…” The mother scowled, rightfully upset at the mislead.

“Well ya won’t find anythin’ cheaper then this! Plus, it’s goin’ to a good cause, fer uh…findin’ animals homes!” Charlie shrugged.

“Kassie, how much rupees do you have?” The mother turned to the little girl.

“Uhmmmm…I think 15 green ones.” Kassie responded.

“Hmmmm…if we get this you will have to take care of the bunny, and do some extra chores. You hear me?” The mother considered.

“I will Mom, I will!” Kassie promised.

The mother sighed again and handed over the rupees, as Charlie nodded along. “Here ya are, he’s a lil’ feisty by the’ way.” Andrew picked up the cage, jostling the veteran a lot before deciding to hand it to Kassie.

The little girl opened the damned cage and Legend saw his chance. He leaped out and began running feeling his back sting a lot, but kept going. He ignored the shouts of Charlie as he heard footsteps behind him and ran even faster. But soon there were arms wrapping around him, and he wrestled with the arms that were restraining him, but his struggling was in vain. “Nice try bud, but we got 1000 rupees, we ain’t gonna let you run away.” Andrew’s voice thundered in his bunny ears.

He felt tears pricking at his eyes, so badly wanting to sob into one of his’s brother’s shoulders. He hated being trapped, and the veteran knew that little girl’s didn’t play nicely with things they used as toys. He was so terrified that this Kassie would hurt him. Andrew handed him off to the mother instead, where the hoarder desperately tried to worm his way out of the situation. He even tried biting the woman, but the mother held on tight and carried the pink bunny away. He slumped and took with a bitter understanding that he would be stuck as a bunny for the rest of his life, as a pet. He had no hope left as he closed his eyes shut.

I always talk abt Jesse and Cedric's relationship but I also can't get over his relationship with Eva and Aurelie.. like Jesse's relationship with the two is so familial that it gives me cavities 😭 the way aurelie gave her growth staff(?) To Jesse and johan saying that it's something passed down to family/descendants (idr the exact words) was SO!! I mean it was obvious before but to the extent that Aurelie sees Jesse as her own is so 😭😭 she's so soft with him and she's so physically affectionate it's just nice reading. And the hug scene during the sejak arc 🥹🥹 and the way Eva always wants Jesse's attention and time is so!! Unfortunately I can't get much out of their dynamic yet bc they get less time than the mentor-disciple duo but yeah. they're all so sweet. Parent-child and sibling dynamic stories always make me weak. can't describe it w words as I can only muster up "so so so" lol

OH MY GOD YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH I CRY ABOUT AURÉLIE AND JESSE'S RELATIONSHIP

The way how he's her first and only student 🥹 THE WAY HOW SHE SEES HIM AS HER SON IN ALL BUT BLOOD AND NAME 🥹😭😭😭

She cares about him so much it actually makes my heart lurch. Every time she acts tender and affectionate with him I curl up and cry. They truly have one of the best relationship developments in the novel and I will die on this hill fr 😭 Her gifting Jesse her old holy staff that she used when she was younger as a gift for his birthday, but also giving it in hopes to convey to him how much she wants him to remain with them (her) in the Empire in the future.... 😭😭😭🥹 AURÉLIEEEEEEEEEEE HUUAGGAGHHHH

I know p much exactly at what point youre at in the novel and im SCREAMING because oh god... you're gonna get punched so hard in the aurélie-jesse feels at some point (i love their relationship so much) (or just feels in general—ive said it before and ill say it again, but this novel.... it plays with your emotions so bad, it's the best its so so so so good, i love the emotional buildup and rollercoaster)

And Jesse and Eva!!!!!!!! The way Eva constantly calls him with insults LMFAO but she!!!! cares a lot about him!!! And vice-versa!!!!!!! 😭 Something about Jesse just ends up with him gathering found family everywhere he goes wkdjdkkdksk (he is a much better older brother than Robert was and Eva deserves the best :'))
