Presenting the Arendelle Royal Famiy!

Eira

Anna’s actions in the Enchanted Forest pleased the spirits. Like her mother, she was rewarded with a magical child who would later take on the role of Fifth Spirit. Anna and Kristoff decided the name Eira was perfect due to it meaning snow. Unlike her aunt Elsa, Eira never had to conceal her abilities, thanks to Anna's determination to spare her from the struggles Elsa faced. Growing up, Elsa was a big help for Eira because she taught her everything about her powers. This freedom to use her ice magic made Eira grow up into a confident young lady who is optimistic, energetic, free-spirited, and very extroverted.

She never feared her powers and is in fact quite playful with them. Her powers also gave her a love of ice, which she shares with her father. This led her to actively assist in his ice harvesting business.

Eira's vibrant personality is a delightful blend of sweetness, selflessness, and love. She radiates positivity, always prioritizing the safety and well-being of those around her. Loyalty and admiration for friends and family are important to her, making her a cherished presence in the lives of those fortunate enough to know her.

Whether helping out in the Enchanted Forest or aiding her dad in the ice business, Eira's boundless energy and warmth create an enchanting aura wherever she goes.

Anders

Anders is Kristoff and Anna’s second child and only son. He is the vibrant and spirited heir to the throne and embodies a blend of kindness, diligence, and an infectious optimism that lights up any room.

He carries within him a loving heart that is devoted to those around him. His selflessness and sacrificial nature make him a compassionate soul who values the well-being of others above all, showcasing a genuine love for his people.

With an adventurous and free-spirited soul, Anders finds solace in the untamed beauty of the wilderness. As a true outdoorsman, he enjoys sneaking out to explore the vast and uncharted territories surrounding the kingdom. Though he is a bit of a loner, Anders is not shy, and his daring and fearless nature lead him to embrace challenges head-on. However, he tends to act before he thinks, and can be rather impulsive and quick-tempered at times, which causes quite a bit of trouble.

Being the next in line for the throne due to his older sister being the Fifth Spirit, Anders navigates the responsibilities of his position with a genuine desire to serve his people. His relationships with his sisters, Freya and Eira, are marked by genuine affection and friendship. Ever the supportive brother, he strives to boost Freya's confidence, helping her overcome insecurities with unwavering encouragement. Meanwhile, he admires Eira's extraordinary abilities.

Anders stands as a beacon of positivity, adventure, and love, leaving an indelible mark on the kingdom he is destined to lead.

Freya

Freya is the youngest child and second daughter of Anna and Kristoff. She takes a lot after her dad as she is mostly a loner, navigating the world with self-reliance and an independent spirit. Despite her introverted nature and shyness, Freya possesses a heart overflowing with love, sensitivity, and sweetness. Her bashful and quirky side often reveals itself in amusing ways; for instance, she might blush profusely when complimented or engage in endearingly awkward conversations with others.

Freya's authenticity shines through in her down-to-earth essence, making her approach to relationships genuine and sincere. However, her down-to-earth nature doesn't exempt her from occasional clumsiness, as she may find herself tripping over her own feet or spilling things in a charmingly awkward manner.

Despite her kind and loving disposition, Freya grapples with self-confidence issues. Her struggle is amplified by her underlying insecurity stemming from her perceived role as the "spare" princess. She often feels unimportant and feels as though she does not have a true purpose compared to her extraordinary siblings Eira, who is the fifth spirit and Anders who is the heir. Freya's journey revolves around overcoming these insecurities and discovering her own significance

oh something I forgot to elaborate on and I meant to... on, Asra being good with customers, that usually means strangers will gravitate toward Asra over Danny when choosing their reader. and. though at the beginning of the story Danny does not have his memories...... this fucks with him. even if he doesn't actively remember details of his life YET he almost has like. the echo of them. so living in someone's shadow, yet again, the shadow of someone he loves, the shadow of someone more charasmatic than him, pisses him off to such a strong degree and he can't explain it. he's kind of embarrassed to admit it so he doesnt. Asra can't really explain it either because pre-plague Danny never talked about his brother. he didn't wanna help anyone speedrun ignoring him for Titus for sure so why would he? anyway Asra definitely KNOWS this pisses Danny off because they can feel his emotions, but he can't quite help him explain it. he doesnt have enough info. but he wishes he could and is very curious about where that feeling comes from- not to mention the strong emotion from seemingly nowhere does spark hope in Asra that he'll regain his memories, eventually. like they're not entirely wiped (and he would be correct! for better or worse)

anyway Danny didn't get his reputation around town from nowhere and the locals put a lot of trust in him when it comes to magic, especially considering his famiy has been doing this for generations. Danny isn't really aware of this reputation he has until he's going around the city and other people seem to recognize his surname, though. all that to say that though he's seen as mysterious and weird he's also seen as trustworthy, so even when Asra's off on a trip locals will usually still pay his shop a visit

Oh, I have this angsty fic idea about Morpheus × wife reader, partially inspired by the story of Orpheus in the comics. So, somehow reader got biten by vanomous snake, set by his enemy trying to get to him. (Not desire, because a new villain might be more interesting, I think.) while having a trip alone. It wasn't until she's a breath away from being gone that Morpheus managed to find her, or Death appeared and brought her to his brother. Imagine how painfully it reminds him of the tragic fate of Eurydice. Is this meant to be his punishment for not helping his son to saving his wife? Are the Kindly Ones laughing at his comeuppance right now? And why isn't his power seeming to be working? Then Death told him that she'll not take her to the Sunless Land, but she can't heal the her either. "The only way to truly revitalize your Queen, I'm afraid, is to find out who did this. It's probably the only chance."

Suffering from the utmost anguish, Dream is so angry, eldritchly enraged actually and set on a path to find a treatment. Whoever did this, he'll make them pay. He'll slowly shred them into smithereens.

Unfortunately after strenuous searching, Dream still couldn't find a clue. He even goes to Destiny, but his older brother said he can't tell him of the future, but "you and I both know there's one that could tell you what you want to know." So, as a last resort, Morpheus goes to his son and ask him whether he could reveal the culprit, in exchange, he'll grant a boon for him. Even though there're been a huge right between father and son, Orpheus recognized the same heartache of losing the love of your life. Maybe this is destiny, a test to his father's conviction in love, a chance for them to resolve things once and for all. So Orpheus told him who's responsible and asks him that the culprit be brought here because he can provide a magical drug to release him from living as head amd that way, technically Morpheus won'tspill famiy blood. Naturally Morpheus feels crushed by his son's request, but if this is what he's been desiring all this time, he'll oblige.

So the story goes from there, but definitely Dream triumphed over his rival and cured his Queen and grant his son's last wish. Sad, yes, but hopeful for the future. Also he truly understands for the first time what it's like to face the grim reality of being sundered from the your love of life forever and fighting with every fiber of your being to bring you two back together.

SO were like intentionally torturing the endless now??? he totally deserves tbh. *cackles* This sounds like 100% angst. Pure AGONY!! But I also think Orpheus should come up more often because he is Morpheus' son and deserves love after being a head for so long 🥺

THE BASTARDS OF BREECH INLET

PROLUGE

She couldn't believe her eyes. She knew there was a chance this kind of thing could happen, but she never accepted it fully. Not truly, After all, why would she ever expect him to come back there after what all happened?

Yet, there he was. With his wife, of course. Sitting at that very table. She wanted to hurl. He purposely picked that table, she thought. He sat there, and he smiled that teeth-flashing smile. His wife smiled back, and they leaned into a kiss over a flamed candle. Of course he was married. They always are, regardless of the clues you look for or the questions you ask. Men lie. And they cheat.

Emmie wasn't taking this lightly. She would wait on him, and her. She would walk out there with pride on her, as she was a good woman who didn't deserve the mess life had given her. She took a deep breath, looked in the mirror, and smoothed out her apron.

“Welcome to Cheadle's! My name is Emmie, and I will be your server today! All the seafood on the menu is fresh-caught daily by local fishermen. All our ingredients are locally sourced, actually. Can I start you off with any drinks or appetizers?” Emmie spouted off, as if reading from a script.

Emmie had worked her whole life for Cheadle. She knew how to mask every emotion and thought she held inside like a well seasoned actress. Sadly, the man at the table with his wife could not. Before he realized what he was doing, he was standing up and gawking at the waitress.

“You’re heavily pregnant!” the man said.

“Colin, why do you care?” his wife – no, fiancee – squealed.

“Because! Look at her! She's got to be at least nine months pregnant and working on her feet all day! That isn't right, is all.” Colin quipped back as cooly as he could muster. The shock of seeing Emmie pregnant was one thing. Doing the math in his head while she just stared at him to realize that he was the sire who sired her bastard, well… Emmie just hoped she didn't have to punch someone already that early on in the week.

“Sir. Ma'am, while I appreciate you both here must not see this kind of thing often, women here in the south are known to work every single day of her pregnancy without batting an eyelash. It's just our way of life down here, and I would appreciate no fuss or foibles.” Emmie cleared the air, making sure to treat both people like pure strangers. Emmie learned this from her momma, Patty. Patty worked for Mr. Cheadle for years until she retired. It was weird to many how Patty retired, being a waitress and all, but Emmie never thought anything of it.

In the south, some bastards were lucky to be given a spot in the family business or something. Others would be bought outright and sworn to secrecy. Some, still yet, would take the bastard in and have the wife raise it as her own. This was just the way of the world. Emmie's own ancestors would harbor light-skinned or mulato children as their own to raise. Then, they'd take a yearly famiy trip up to a free state with all their slaves and children. Only for all their slaves and children to become runaways when it came time to leave.

Emmie loved hearing Patty tell those stories. Every year they'd have to buy a whole house-staff full of new slaves. Once, Patty would tell Emmie, they almost got caught by the local sheriff and his deputy. Before she could finish the story in her thoughts, the people in front of her were getting loud, and she had no idea for what reason.

But then, it happened. He used her real name. He called her Emily.

“Sir, you misread my name tag. My name is Emmie, not Emily. I am well aware how pregnant I am. I was daydreaming while you two bickered, is all. Now how can I help you two? Or will the child in my belly make it impossible for you to dine here?” Emmie let go of all her rage with every syllable. She could blame the hormones. When she saw his wife's face, she knew. His wife was totally clueless to his cause for concern over some pregnant waitress.

Queen of shadows

If you were interested in the story I was sharing in my last post about my dnd campaign, I’m gonna pick up in the story under the cut!

So, to preface go check out my post titled “Cosmolian Red” if you wanna hear the events leading up to this (warning for eye trauma and drug mention). A lot had just happened. Lucéena learned Weiss killed her dad and then tripped on drugs so hard she saw an astral dreadnaught which proceeded to pick up their hiding place and yeet them a considerable distance into a tower. It was a rough crash. Thankfully after a revivify to our rogue and a group healing spell from our cleric we all made it out in relativly one piece. We were able to catch our breath and see that our little hut had crashed through a wall and we were in the middle of a long hallway scattered with statues. We’d actually broken a few on our way in and as Lucéena went to inspect them she got.. memories? I think she recognized some of the people they were supposed to be but she didn’t remember names.

By this point she didn’t see the stars of the astral sea anymore and her eyes had stopped bleeding so Lucéena began to walk down one way of the hall to further inspect more of the statues. Our wizard Echo went with because the party’s fighter was just wandering away with blood still drying on her face and exploring on your own was clearly what we didn’t need lol. We eventually came to a balcony where we saw that we had indeed reached the Citadel of Shadow. The city stretched below us, massively small, and there was movement among the buildings that turned out to be monsters, not people. It was here that Lucéena had another memory. She was standing in the exact spot she was now but she was smaller and she was holding someone’s hand. With all these memories, she couldn’t doubt that she had initially been raised here.

And while the two of them were talking, they were approached by guards, an older shadar-kai man who looked like an advisor, and the ruler of the shadowfell herself Queen Amali (described as the lovely art above depicts). All of whom wanted to know who tf we were and why and how we had broken through the wall of her palace. With some attempts at civility and a charm spell or two from Echo, we eventually led her back to our group where she invited us to join her in her dinning hall. During dinner the older man was starring daggers DIRECTLY at me as we tried and ultimately failed to explain our mission of retrieving these clone/artifacts. To cover up a misstep in the conversation, Echo ended up saying we were here to look for Lucéena’s famiy 🥲 Lucéena was NOT ready to be put on the spot and also wasn’t 100% sure she cared to find the family that abandoned her but the queen was like alright let’s do that.

Like the mysterious and powerful elven lady she is, she booped luceena’s forehead and suddenly all of her childhood memories came rushing through her mind. She saw memories she hadn’t thought of in some time and others she’d swore she never recalled. Eventually we got to the memory Lucéena had glimped when she was standing amongst the broken statues. It was a man was leaning over her and asking someone out of her line of view what her name was. A voice replyed this time and said Isla, Lucéena’s middle name. She also got another name “Alune” which she repeated out loud. The man who had been staring daggers at me all this time paused for a moment and said that was the name of his wife. Lucéena tried to play it of like ‘oh I met her once’ but everyone was looking at her like they expected something so she ended up leaving the room.

SO, fast forward a little bit the party is in a guest room the queen had given us for the night trying to figure out how we’re going to bring back up the subject of the clones or if we should just steal them. The advisor came in and introduced himself as Gendren Lovelace. After some awkward talk he also said that he was pretty sure he was Lucéena’s father. He suspected when he first saw her because she apparently looks a lot like his wife. Alune had been a general for the queen but she wasn’t remembered too kindly in these halls because she’d apparently cast a curse on the citadel.

BUT I now have descriptions for Lucéena’s biological mom and dad and you know what that means? It means it’s time for family portrait 2 electric boogaloo! Gonna find some time for that… some time. Honestly the session ended right after some of these revelations were made so I have a lot of questions and I’m sure my recount doesn’t make the most of sense. For example Lucéena never got another chance to interrogate Weiss. But perhaps by the time I can make the og family portrait I will have enough of the pieces to present to y’all with a mostly complete family story. Like how Lucéena came to live with the Rowans from being the young daughter of a general in the shadowfell. And why her mom apparently put a curse on the city that turnes it’s residence to stone.

David and Ethan

Pictured Jeff

Part 3: An Exciting Vacation (I)

The day finally came for David, Ethan, and Jeff to head to Las Vegas for David’s business trip. They had been excited for this day to come and looked forward to hanging out with each other during the week. They arrived at their destination later that same day and went to the hotel suite David’s company booked for them. It was a nice big room, with two separate bedrooms and one bathroom. They loved this arrangement as it meant they’d all be sharing a bathroom. Ethan had commented, “We are just guys here, no need to be embarrassed about having to share a bathroom.” David and Jeff eagerly agreed and acutely aware of the sexual tension that was growin. David took the room with the king-sized bed and the guys took the other with the two smaller queen-sizes. They brought their bags to the rooms and began to unpack. David eventually came in the room and asked what they wanted for dinner. Both decided on Mexican style. David did not reject and they went to the restaurant across the street from the hotel. There, the three pigged out on the buffet style food. David was always a hefty eater and had very large portions of beans and cheese enchiladas. Ethan and Jeff looked at David with amusement and David couldn’t help but notice. Cheese and beans always backed David up, giving him a lot of gas and constipation. Since Ethan was used to it and Jeff heard him fart before he didn’t bother holding off. It was all playing into his strategy for the trip. He wasn’t going to change his private habits around anyone he was comfortable around. They finished up and headed back to the suite for the night.

Jeff was a fit young guy a couple of months older than Ethan. He was good looking with soft brown eyes and hair. He had a nice big ass to go along with it. The men in his famiy tended to have asses chunkier than usual, but he didn’t mind the attention it gave him. He is bisexual, but prefers males. The two had experimented with each other early on and often confided in one another about their sexual desires. They realized their fart fetish during their junior year of high school when Jeff farted in front of Ethan while they were pissing at the urinal. At that time, Jeff blushed after releasing his fart, but was surprised by Ethan’s reaction when he gave his thick butt a nice tap. Since then, they farted openly in front of one another and often got excited when they heard other guys in their class fart in the bathroom or locker room. Jeff couldn’t get the image of David’s fart habits out of his mind. Ethan told Jeff stories of how he and his dad had farting contests, a game that Jeff often did with his dad. Jeff was always turned on by those stories and was happy to have joined his friend and his father on this trip.

When they got back to the room later that night they got comfortable as they began settling in. It was a Saturday so David was off work until Monday morning. Jeff was wearing a tight, dark-grayed t-shirt and blue shorts, Ethan was wearing a similar red t-shirt and black shorts, and David was wearing gray sweatpants that hugged his ass perfectly while wearing a light blue t-shirt. He liked sleeping in his boxer briefs and would always strip to his undies before going to bed. The three were in the main room, with Ethan and Jeff sitting on the leather couch and David sitting on the leather chair nearby. They were doing their own thing, playing on their cell phones and watching the local news station on TV. It wasn’t long before Ethan began farting around. The other two gave him smirks and he’d smirk back. Being a hefty eater always plagued David with heartburn, so he went to his bag to get an antacid. He returned to the room with Alka Seltzer and assumed his seat in the leather chair. Ethan had commented “Those Alka Seltzer tablets make you fart a lot dad. You sure that’s the best thing for you to take right now?” “I’m so backed up right now that getting these farts out of my system will make me feel better”, David replied. “Besides, you are the one cutting muffins.” Jeff laughed and proceeded to shift in his seat, ripping out a nice, bassy ripper that blasted off the leather seat. “Mmmmhmmm”, said David with encouragement. The antacid was helping with David’s heartburn, but it was giving him massive gas, both ways. With the TV volume on low, David let out a loud burp that made his son and Jeff chuckle. “I’ve got a big one brewing in me guys”, David replied. “Who wants to pull my finger?” Jeff readily obliged, pulling David’s finger. The result was a huge, deep fart that lasted about 4 seconds. David muttered a relieving sigh of relief, getting the other two aroused. “That was huge Dad!”, said Ethan. David gave his son a smirk and then thanked Jeff. “The pleasure is mine” Jeff commented, readjusting himself. “I don’t mind if you have to fart like that some more.” “Likewise”. Ethan was taking this all in, but before he could respond he farted loudly into his seat on the couch. “Excuse me”, said Ethan. “Mmmhmmm”, said David once more. The three men chatted over the next hour, each one farting shamelessly in their seats every couple of minutes. They were loud muffled rumbles, scenting the room with a mixture of gas odors. “Say, we are three gassy guys here. Why don’t we get more comfortable?”, David said. “It’s not like we have anything to hide.” And with that, the three guys took off their pants and stripped to their undies. Each preferred boxer briefs, David’s were dark blue, Jeff’s a green color, and Ethan’s were light gray.They had big butts, which were held snugly in place. David and Jeff complimented each other and their firm asses, giving each other taps on the butt. Jeff decided to catch a selfie of himself at the moment, posing for the camera and farting in the process. The three men still had plenty of farts to go around as the night drew on.

is there romance in atdao or is it all just found famiy vibes? if there is romance im real curious about how peeps would express those kinda feelings

hello hi hello this took me AGES I’m very sorry I kept getting distracted by things such as being asleep

anyway yes thank you for the question! romance? yes, we’ve got some of this going on, sure, though I would count the romance as within the found family c:

I don’t know if you wanted a Ramble�� but this is a topic I can ramble about and I’m in a bit of a rambling mood so you can have a ramble, free of charge, just take it up to the register and have them enter the code “logan this is not what I ordered”

but yeah, your question? about eight vaguely relevant tangents immediately spring to mind! also spoilers?? spoilers after the cut

I really should have formatted this response in a way that puts the super spoiler heavy part at the end but since when have I ever ever in my life made things easy for my dear sweet followers

y’all know what I’m like with spoilers by now 

but yeah, to set the scene, there’s two main romantic......................... situations going on in the story, the first being between Noa and Alice, and the second being between Kai, Tris and Shara. so, the former I would describe as “a legitimate romantic subplot” and the latter I would describe as a character tripping and falling into it by sheer chance and just being like “oh whoops well I guess this is what I’m doing now” which is also extremely valid

Noa and Alice end up not being, like, Confirmed Endgame by the end of the story even though much of the plot looks like it’s heading in that direction, and like...... yeah, in my head, they do end up in a romantic relationship at some point post-story, but I’m not sure on what sort of timeline

during the story itself, it’s established that they do share mutual feelings for each other and this is likely heading towards a romantic relationship, but I think since much of the story sees Noa still trying to find her feet in just, like....... having friends at all, and trusting those friends, and knowing who she is in relation to others on any sort of level, I think near the end of the story she decides that she’s not at a place where she wants to try and figure out a romantic relationship just yet

it’s not a hard no, it’s just a “hey not right now” and a “let’s see what happens later down the track, for now it’s just nice to be around friends” ‘cause even that is just super new territory for her

which I worry will make people feel cheated, but also, I think it’s the ending for this subplot that would make the most sense for where the characters are at and would be the most fitting c:

and secondly there’s like

hm. ok

well, there WAS a vaguely jokey post I made yonks back where I pitched the idea of an ATDAO polyamory ending being just like. Alice who’s dating Noa who’s dating Shara who’s dating Kai who’s dating Tris. and I stand by this being solid as hell. but also, given the ending to Noa’s subplot with Alice, it doesn’t really work in the story canon, n though I think Noa and Shara is a dynamic I really enjoy, it would likely not actually play out in reality :P

which leaves the trio of Shara, Kai and Tris, a trio I’ve always vibed with and had vaguely on my radar as a valid poly ending but for some reason didn’t twig that I could just, like, make it canon and no one can stop me LMAO

but yeah, this one, like I said, it’s not so much aHD whole big subplot, it’s just something that falls into place super casually and is never really brought up beyond “oh is this a thing that’s happening?” “yeah” “cool ok”

I think there’s a brief window as a reader where you might be like “ugh this is gonna be a stupid love triangle or some weird jealousy thing” but then it just ends up being a complete non-issue. there’s basically zero romantic drama for this plotline, Tris and Shara are bros and Kai is dating both of them

n as for your question itself, it depends on whether you mean, like.......... how they would go about expressing to someone else that they have romantic feelings or, like, how they express their affections in a romantic scenario

‘cause for the former, the answer for both Tris and Noa is just.... they don’t

Noa because at the start of the story she views her crush on Alice as a huge fucking inconvenience that’s going to make things messy and complicated, so she just tries to ignore her romantic feelings as hard as she can (obviously this doesn’t last hahaha). but yeah, she’s just very pissed off that she has a crush and doesn’t want to acknowledge it :P she also has no idea how to respond when Alice expresses romantic interest in her, this is all extremely new territory

and Tris because he doesn’t realise he’s even experiencing romantic feelings in the first place?? like. the boy has so much baseline anxiety jitteriness that stuff like, idk, feeling your heart pick up pace, butterflies in the stomach, any kinda social nerves you get around the people you like, etc, he experiences this with Kai and is automatically just like “great now you’re here and I’m having a panic attack can you please leave”

just slaps a label of Bad Vibes onto it then later is like Wait A Minute

but yeah, I think neither of them would be super comfy actually expressing their feelings out loud or making that first move, Noa because she’s super fuckin petty and stubborn and Tris because he’s waaaaaaaay too fuckin socially anxious for that shit are you kidding

in terms of how they express their affections though??

so like. I have to reiterate that I’m aro and ace and I have a lot of difficulty in articulating what makes a romance A Romance, like??? I have relationships that are friendships and relationships that are romantic, but I myself don’t really experience romantic attraction in the way other people do

as such, the way I write characters in their romantic expressions tends to be just an extension of how they act in their friendships? which I think is a pretty ok thing to base a romance off anyway, but like, yeah, romance, this is a mystery to me for the most part, do I look like I know what a romance is

anyway I think once Alice and Noa get a little closer there’s a lot of good-natured ribbing and friendly insults, n since they already had a bit of a rivalry going on beforehand I would imagine this competitive streak doesn’t disappear :P Noa is generally uncomfy with being Openly affectionate and soft with others, so I think there would be a lot of more “indirect” ways she shows this care. I think they have the kind of relationship where from an outside perspective you don’t really get how it’s warm and affectionate, but it’s just ‘cause you don’t know the lingo, right

Tris is just the cheerleader type in all friendly relationships I think, lots of encouragement and hype and compliments and enthusiasm, he’s very excitable and very easily impressed hahahaha. though I think it takes people a while to click that he’s legitimately being 100% earnest and genuine, the constant deadpan does not work super well in his favour

anyway I’m gonna hop back up for a sec so I can cover Shara and Kai real quick

these two are............ a bit more direct with actually verbalising their feelings to people? Shara is a socially anxious type, but also not someone who enjoys beating around the bush, n she generally likes to just speak what’s on her mind and be direct with others whenever she can. Kai just kinda........ I mean, I don’t think they consider romantic affections to be a super big deal? at least in theory? I say in theory ‘cause, like, I think they give the impression that this kind of conversation is just super smooth and easy for them, and on the inside they’re like “it’s really not a big deal it’s just feelings it’s whatever” but they’re still anxious about it and had to hype themself up for like a week before going through with it lmao

but ye, in terms of how they express their affections, they’re both fairly similar. you suddenly will just Not Be Able To Get Rid Of Them, they’ll constantly be hanging around in the same space or dragging you into whatever shenanigans they’ve got going on, I think for both of them their favourite expression of love is just sharing in experiences or sharing the same space, just Being Involved And Around 

a “hey come help me run errands” type or a “I’m gonna hang off the back of your sofa while you’re studying and sometimes slingshot balls of paper at you with a rubber band” type :P

and now I have to go on Another Tangent just ‘cause the subject matter is vaguely relevant and idk where else I’m gonna go on this tangent

there is definitely some part of me that’s still super super fond of the idea of Kai being aro??? and I initially did write them as such, but for the moment this is not something that’s remained canon in text ‘cause I’m a little bitch ‘cause like

Kai would be aro in very much the same way I am, which is to say, they’re a person who is extremely full of love and who has difficulty in differentiating what the step is supposed to be between friendship feelings and romantic feelings, so, someone who may not necessarily “get” what makes a romance a romance or experience any feelings different from a strong friendship, but who is still open to being in a romantic relationship

(the difference between us being that Kai Really Really Likes People and enjoys being close with others as much as possible, where I’m more the awkward standoffish hermit type lmao)

but yeah, I was kinda like. well. despite being a perfectly valid aro person in a romantic relationship myself, if I were a fictional character people would probably call me bad rep HAHAHA. like “yeah they’re apparently aro but they don’t really ACT aro and the author put them in a romantic relationship ://”

and while I think there’s value to be had in fiction in exploring the different ways a person can be aro, I just, like................... thought about the hypothetical future discourse and was just like UGH. I cannot be fucking BOTHERED

I get enough people in real life being like “ok but you’re not REALLY aro like why do you even bother having that label it’s not like it matters in your context” even though I’m the goddamn expert on my own experiences you bastards

lmao

but yeah I think aro Kai is canon in my heart hahahaha. and they may end up articulating some of the same feelings, maybe just not with the label applied, who knows

anyway that’s my rambles done I think! thanks for reading n have a nice night c:

Hindi ko talaga sinasadya baby, sorry 😔 Hindi ko alam ano nang yari sa messenger pero sana maniwala kang wala akong ibang kausap, nakatulog lang talaga ako, gusto ko na ngang ibigay account ko sayo. Nagising ako ng mga bandang 6am at gising ka pa din, hindi ko kayang nag aaway tayo kaya nag pumilit ako na mag usap tayo para malaman din ang nararamdaman mo. Wala ako kaidea idea ganon pala nangyari at ganon na pala nararamdaman at iniisip mo baby. I hate myself kasi naramdaman mo yung ganun and I promise na gagawin ko ang lahat para hindi na maulit.
