“Ah, we all did such a good job today everyone, keep up the good work!” Chan victoriously cheered along with the other members, beads of sweat glistening down their bodies after another practice for their new coming album “GIANT”. 

All of the members were particularly proud of themselves for doing albums back to back, considering the tight schedule around their necks and practically chaining them to the floor, all except a certain duo. 

Changbin’s gaze lingered a little too long on the photos that they had taken just a few hours back for the concept of their album, able to keep a few as a little gift for their work. However, another ferret was staring at the backs of the other members as they left, gnawing at the inside of his cheek anxiously. 

“Changbin..let’s go home, shall we?” Hyunjin finally chokes out after the long bout of awkward silence that falls upon them after a while, eyes widening when he saw the almost dull gaze from the rapper who solemnly nodded. 

The ride back to their dorm felt almost haunting, empty one would say, neither of them daring to speak up to each other despite the eager and worried pestering of the members beside them; they could tell as clear as day that something was off with them, no matter how many plastered smiles they tried to give.

Changbin got home and much to Hyunjin’s dismay, he rushed to his room to slam the door shut and curl up into himself, much more content in revealing his sorrows to himself rather than to show it outside, where the members, also dealing with their own issues, would be dragged down by the weight of the problems he knew were probably heavy. 

Tears wouldn’t fall, however, he felt drained. Too drained to do anything but lay there numbly, anything but feel more than he could feel all at once swirling inside of him. Changbin wished he wasn’t the only one dealing with these issues, he wished he could be as confident as half the members seemed to be in their abilities and in his humble opinion—their looks. 

The thought ached, and his stomach swirled with thoughts that led one to another as it always did, and time passed in the blink of an eye, and he started to feel the oxygen leave him. Gasping, he sobbed dryly, the tears still refusing to leave his eyes despite how much he wanted them to. 

Hyunjin knocked on the door gently, heart breaking into a million pieces when his hearing picked up on the pieces that Changbin was trying to fix back together to make himself whole again, before he was met with the sight of a smiling Changbin. 

However, it was all off, his eyes were a tinge of red in the corners, nose a little bit too red to be considered just makeup, the foundation on his skin beginning to run from what he was assuming were the tears that dared to ruin such a pretty face like his. Without another word, the artist quietly brings the older into his embrace, pushing his head into his chest with a quiet expression. 

“Jinnie...it hurts...it hurts…” Changbin spilled when he felt his back being massaged so tenderly, fisting the shirt that the artist was wearing into bunches as new peals of tears began to flow. 

And as Hyunjin continued to listen to the weak begging for something unknown, his own eyes too began to water, running down into Changbin’s scalp and onto his back. 

Even if his knees felt like completely giving up at that moment, they both held themselves strong, trying to support each other as the tears continued to flow like rivulets. Nothing else sounded between the both of them at all, not even the breeze of wind that tried to bring them comfort. 

“Hyung…please don’t hide from me…what’s wrong?” Hyunjin asked, his voice cracking with an aching emotion as he rubbed down Changbin’s back, and he knew that the older’s wall of defence, his wall of composure, was slowly shattering, breaking down against his will. 

“I—I can’t…” Changbin whimpered, and Hyunjin’s heart tightened painfully. “You’ll get tired of hearing why.” 

The knot in Hyunjin’s stomach finally broke, and a fresh wave of tears surfaced his eyes. His hyung…was scared of telling him what was wrong, too scared to admit he wasn’t okay, that he needed help. 

Hyunjin knew he would stop at nothing to make his Binnie happy, and he knew that if Changbin had to complain about the same damn issue every single time, he would listen every single time and be ready to comfort him. 

“Hyung, please…I would never get tired of you, never get tired of your insecurities or issues, and I would never, ever turn you away.”

“Then how about Hyung giving you some comfort? You’re still crying so badly, Jinnie ah…” Changbin winced in empathy when he’s face to face with Hyunjin’s bloodshot eyes, bringing a gentle hand up to his cheek, cupping and caressing the skin so softly. 

The ferret immediately leaned into the touch like a lost puppy, still sniffling and hiccuping all over the place. Changbin had to do something about it, he needed to fix whatever mess he’s made of the younger, feeling as if it was his duty to take care of him. Knowing poor Hyunjin, he already knew why he was sobbing in the first place.. 

“B-But Hyung—ehehe! W-Wahahait!” Hyunjin squealed as the tender fingers that once provided him warmth now travelled down to his sides, prodding and gently kneading the area. The artist tried his best to squirm away, but it was to no avail when you were fighting one of the strongest members in the group, brought back easily like a little plushie.

 Changbin doesn’t say anything in response, just whispering little phrases of sweet compliments along the lines of, “Your dancing is amazing”, or “You’re not just a picture…” into his ears.

 The words melted the younger’s heart, finding it harder and harder to put up a fight with the tingling yet soft sensations and the comforting words being whispered into his ear, just giggling himself silly.

“Nononohohoho…Hyuhuhuhung Ihim suhuhupposed to be comfohohorting youhuhu!!” Poor Hyune squeaked out, trying to shove at Binnie’s wrists with no avail, however Changbin, trying to redirect attention, kissed Hyunjin’s ear, driving the poor ferret mad as he squirmed and squealed cutely. 

“Shhhh…let hyungie take care of you…” Binnie blew air into Jinnie’s ear, smiling as Hyunjin melted back into him, tiny tears sparkling along his lashes. “You’re so beautiful, Hyunjin, but you’re so talented too, jagi…I love you for you, not just for how pretty you are, but for just being you…”

“I lohohohove you tohohohoo, hyuhuhung!” Hyune shrieked, and Changbin smiled, his lips upturning even as his eyes welled up with emotion again. 

“Now say it. Say that you’re talented, and say that you’re worth more than you think. Say it.”

Hyunjin hiccuped through his giggles, his eyes slitted into crescents as he sputtered. “Okahahay!! Okay!! Ihihim tahahalented and wohohorth mohohore than I thihihink!!”

“That’s what I’m talking about.” Changbin smiles as he lets Hyunjin go, holding him up in his arms to let the younger catch his breath. He could see the faint smile on his face that continued to linger even after the tickles had already worn off his body, still clinging onto the rapper like he’d disappear if he even considered the thought of removing his hands. 

However, it all switched the moment Changbin felt himself being lifted onto the ground, tossed onto the bed gently before Hyunjin loomed over him, a now more wicked grin on his face as he hovered over the nervous Dwaekki. 

“Don’t think I forgot about you crying Hyung~ How about you tell me how cute and handsome you are?” Before Changbin could even respond, he ended up squealing through his own fit of giggles as wiggling fingers descended onto his stomach, crawling up and down and dangerously close to his navel. 

It wasn’t fair, how soft the producer was with the dancer and how lenient he was, only to be tickled to pieces the moment he gave Hyunjin reprieve; not that he minded anyway. Seeing the blush beginning to bloom on Changbin’s cheeks, it only made the artist smile, continuing the soft ministrations. 

“Ahaha! N-Nohot cute! Hyuhuhune!” Changbin whines, but makes no move to push the dancer off him, crumpling the fabric of the bed beneath him into his fists to try and regain some sort of control. 

Hyunjin only gave a loud coo into his face, scribbling his fingers around his neck to watch his shoulders scrunch up ever so cutely while his nose contorts into a little pig like snort, he swore that he could look at that adorable face forever and not get tired of it, even bringing a finger or two to poke his cheeks. 

Binnie squealed, the sensation of the fingers poking at every sensitive spot forcing his face into an expression of pure joy, his eyes squeezed shut as his nose scrunched involuntarily, leaving him absolutely boneless as Hyunjin continued his tickling. 

Hyunjin crawled his fingers down to Changbin’s underarms, digging in gently while whispering sweet nothings into his ear, leaving his hyung’s mind blank except for the pure feeling of joy flowing through his thought process. 

“Go on, hyung. Say it.” Hyunjin cooed, his eyes softening. Binnie’s laughter was spilling out uncontrollably, his face flushed as he twisted in Hyune’s grasp. He tried to control his giggles, but every delicate stroke under his arms sent him into fresh peals of laughter. 

“Buhuut Ihihim nohohot!! IHIHIM NOHOHOHOT!!” Binnie’s protests dissolved into hysterical giggles as Hyunjin’s disapproving fingers moved down to his hips, digging in with playful, deep strokes. “Now now, we both know that’s not true, but I guess we’ll stay here until you can admit it…”

Hyunjin moved down, to the tender area between Changbin’s armpits and chest that seemed to drive the poor boy absolutely mad. Binnie’s reaction was immediate—his whole body shook with wild, unrestrained laughter as he struggled to pull away from the relentless tickling.

“NOHOHOHO—NOHOHOT THEHEHERE NOT THEHEEHEHERE!!” His thrashing grew frantic, every nerve in his body on fire as he struggled to catch his breath, his face now bright red from laughter and embarrassment.

“Say it.”

Hyunjin almost demands, gritting his teeth as he tries his best not to get bucked off by a wildly thrashing Changbin beneath him, relishing in the screams for mercy that followed below him. 

What a perfect end to Halloween, he thought, continuing to taunt his poor ‘wife’ as his fingers scratched the area gently, pulling another agonised yet happy shriek from Changbin. 

His heels dug into the bed, arms shoving at the ones tormenting him, his head shook side to side in mirth, but nothing seemed to work, as if Hyunjin was glued to Changbin’s waist permanently. Finally, he gives in, breathlessly screaming the words with all his might through peals of cackles. 

“I-I’M CUHUHUTE! A-AND- AHAHAHA HAHAHAHNDSOME!” Changbin squeals one last time when he feels lips vibrating against his neck harshly, before dropping into quiet silence of laughter as tears of mirth drip down his cheeks pitifully, no longer having the strength to fight back anymore. 

Taking pity on the poor guy, the artist finally lets up, wiping away the now happier tears from Changbin’s burning cheeks and laying down beside him for a long and warm cuddle, nuzzling his nose against the older’s cheek with a chaste affection. The older didn’t even protest, melting and humming into the actions while he would usually protest and try to turn the tables.

As they lay together, the exhaustion of their earlier emotional release gave way to a comforting silence, their breathing finally in sync. 

Changbin shifted slightly, resting his head on Hyunjin’s shoulder, feeling a warmth he hadn't let himself seek for so long. Hyunjin wrapped an arm securely around him, his fingers idly tracing patterns along Changbin's back, a silent promise of reassurance. “Hyung…always come to me, yeah?”

“You too, Jinnie…we can do this, together, okay?” Bin snuggled closer, and Jinnie sighed in happiness. 

Hyunjin knew he’d always have his rock—his hyung, both able to protect him physically and emotionally, having his ‘wife’ by his side. 

And in that quiet moment, wrapped in Hyunjin’s arms, Changbin finally felt seen—not just as an idol or a friend, but as someone worthy of love, just as he was.

So, I've been teasing the Bullville writing stuff for far too long, and the only way I'm gonna get the gumption to start the second chapter might just be to post the first already. when I set up my ao3 more I'll add this there, but, here it is! I'm not asking for critique, as I plan on running more edits before I post it on ao3 but you will at least get the gist

CW: mentions of su*c*de, substance use, childhood neglect

Eden and Indigo at the skatepark (untitled as of rn)

It’s autumn, the dried up leaves coat much of the skatepark in Bullville, but most of them have been swept into the field by wind and what’s left on the concrete is all ripped and crinkled. The clouds tell of a rainy overnight ahead, but the sun is high in the sky right now.

The skatepark is empty except for two backpacks, a dog, his skateboard, a ferret, and their rollerskates. “So what are we still doing here?” questions the ferret, Indigo, to Eden, a twiggy, fluffy malamute.

“The hell you mean dawg? You’re not thinking of ending it are you?” he replies, concerned.

“Nah dude, I’m just talking about Bullville, like, what’s wrong with us? Why’re we still choosing to live here?”

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with us, people get stuck here, it’s like a curse,” Eden chuckles out, and crosses his arms, “If you were raised here, you’re fucked. If even one of your parents was raised here? You’re completely doomed.”

“Eden, I don’t remember, were your parents raised here?”

“Yeah, they both went to the tech school, so my mom is from Bullville and my dad is from Smithfield.”

“Shit man, well, my parents are both from Massachusetts and moved to Bullville cause it was cheap to buy a house when they got married, it’s a reasonable commute from both their main spots.”

“Yeah no, I didn’t leave this valley for the first 15 years of my life besides to go up to Boston for two Sox games. I don’t even like baseball! My dad just seriously thought it would fix our relationship or something. That’s what my last therapist said at least.” Eden quickly shakes his rolled up long sleeves down his arms and then crosses them tight around his chest. “I only started branching out more because of when I started making friends with people older than me. Most of them really did just want me to have a better childhood even though I was a little too far gone to save.”

“I’m glad some of those people were good for you, and I remember the baseball game stories. He drove you home in the dark while plastered that first time, right? He would’ve the second time too if it wasn’t for your mom secretly following you to the stadium.” Indigo squints a little to see Eden’s eyes going glassy.

“Yeah, and we picked up the other car the next day while my parents were screaming. Y’know, I’m convinced the friend of his he always met there was one of his dealers. Something about him. It was too long ago for me to remember some of the details now though.”

“I can see you getting all stressed thinking about him, let’s circle back, why do you think you’re still here?”

“Well, I know I could probably afford to move elsewhere at this point, or at least save up to in a reasonable amount of time, but I just feel a connection to a lot of the other things here besides my family. The local nature spots, the good cities aren’t that far away, I know a lot of other good people here obviously. What about you?”

“The people and nature for sure… I dunno, I feel like a lot of the folks we still know in town would say similar stuff to you honestly. Like, it’s just convenient really. My friends, my job, my happy places, they’re basically all here. But since you mentioned the city, any ideas of stuff to do in Providence soon?”

“I’m not really sure. I really am trying to save money so I might just hit up a coffee shop and hang out for a few hours… Try to get some writing done or something. Just to get out of the normal cycle.”

“I knew it. You couldn’t swear off the pen! … That’s it, that’s why we’re all still here! Eden, you and I have been in some form of creative writing club together since I was a sixth grader. It’s the author and poet in all of us. I dunno, we just can’t stop writing. Especially about our love/ hate relationship with this place”

“You really think that’s it?”

“Okay, hear me out, what’s better to write about than a shitty hometown in a beautiful often melancholic manner? I mean, sure we could be off living some better life, but we can just write that too.”

“You’ve seen my work, it’s all just whatever, sometimes it’s about my dreams. Like my actual dreams and also my goals and aspirations? Or it’ll be just a really mediocre but piercingly toned heart stab of a poem. Nothing to write home about, it just makes me feel better.”

“I like when you read the ones about your hopes and dreams and stuff!” Indigo pauses to watch as Eden starts fiddling with his skateboard, rolling it back and forth like he’s itching to skip out on whatever endeavors his friend is going to dare suggest he pursue. “I do really think you could do pro skating, I watch YouTube and you’re just as good if not better than some of those skaters. Still, I don’t think that diminishes your worth as a writer either dude. You write some crazy stuff that sticks with me, heavy, I hope you’ll read again in the next meeting now that you’re actually hitting pen to pad for real!”

“I'm glad you and some of the others have been enjoying my work and helping me workshop it. I definitely feel a lot more confident than I did, it's just hard to grasp that I'm good at stuff that's all. And while I know I'm pretty not bad at skateboarding, I'm just not sure if I'm good enough to try and work towards going pro. I feel like I'm late to the game anyhow.”

“I don't think that really matters, you've got a lot of talent. I love skating with you not only for spending time doing something we like together, but watching you is so fun. I don't even know what the names of half those tricks you do are.”

“If I'm being honest I don't know the names of some of the tricks either. I just do what I think will look cool a lot of the time.”

“I'd say at least try and figure out how you could start showing off your skills. Like do you have those skate clips we've been taking? you could put those online and see if people get into it.”

“Hmm,” Eden sighed, “I don't know if anyone will really care that much, but maybe.”

“I think it's worth a shot Eden, seriously.”

alright!! art backlog time, of the stuff i am at least proud of and willing to post! :D

first off, p5r doodles!

i got a friend of mine the game and suffice to say we both cried at the end :'D the second doodle is of me and her, or at least our usual personas! me in akechi's outfit and her with the protagonist's, since akechi is my personal favorite character. the first doodle is just futaba-

as you maybe can see my style, or at least my methods of drawing, have changed a little bit! i feel more comfortable doing more art at once, so i may possibly finally get to work on the fresh dough comic! (yeah i forgot to mention but it got put on hold- eheh- my apologies folks ;-;)

continuing! dnd doodles! which includes bg3 (baldur's gate 3)-

first off on the dnd agenda, we have takuto! a therapist npc i've set up for one of the two parties we have in the campaign i'm co-dming for!

bonus points go towards his mythical ferret

her name is rumi! no she is not like this normally-

this npc is in fact an entire p5r reference and was in a way made solely to torment that one friend i got p5r, who coincidentally we had finished maruki's palace the day before the session this guy showed up in, so that's fun!

speaking of that friend, i also have art of her character for the campaign!

tsuki! a cutie patootie ain't he? :3

if my dear friend happens to log onto tumblr, she can feel free to ramble about tsuki on her own time, it is not my responsibility to ramble about her character after all!

and last but not least for dnd related things, my bg3 durge!

lavinie!! naturally i'm not someone that go five seconds without modding a game, so rather than a normal tielfing, i've modded her in a set of cambion wings and am pretending she is as such! :D

and now, for the moment you all have been surely dreading- actually well no, hold on, one last thing before dandy's world doodles!

my frequently mentioned in this post friend's fursona!

this is just the gif, i have a still one with the mouth open, but nonetheless i am still proud of this! this and the other one were made for recording purposes, to go with my usual use of reactive when recording!

alright NOW for what y'all have been dreading,

dandy's world doodles!

i need to finish up the holiday event before it heads out, but nonetheless i'm quite happy with all these doodles! even the little bell oc!

i beg of all of thee not to mind how astro uh, *looks-* IT'S INNOCENT I SWEAR, WITHOUT THE STAR SHAPED BLUSH HE'S JUST BEING MOODY- on the note of when initially drawing that, i was going to add his extra arms, however positioning them was a suffering a little too great for me to take, so instead he uh, does not have them :'D

they're just tucked under his clothing it's fine-

but either way, that's all for what i have for the moment! i will be back to posting cookie run again soon, given presumable eternal sugar will be out next update, so i'll have something to look forward to! just uh, give me a few, *months-*, possibly, maybe-

i won't tag stuff, i've no energy to, just typing all this much has me remembering why i crawled back in my shell- but disregarding that, if folks would like me tag all this so they can filter it, please feel free to tell me and i'll tag the important stuff!

with that out of the way- eugh i'm exhausted and i have more work than i would like cut out for me-

for the moment, i'll be back to the void, probably to take a nap, until then may we journey safely through, uhm, i dunno avernus??? faerun??? i'm not sure-

either way folks that are heading to bed may you rest well and folks that are just waking up may you have a good morning-

i'm going back to bed i've done too much talking today-

[caitybellfics]

Weekend WIP Game

Thank you, @whimsymanaged, for the tag, I am sorry it's taken me so long to do this ha ha!

Rules: List your WIPs below (if you only write one fic at a time, feel free to include future WIPs/ideas!) then answer the following questions. Then, tag as many people as you have WIPs (or more).

1. WIP List:

Do I include Drabble series I haven't quite completed? Do I include unposted fics? Original works I write on the side?

Damn, this is hard!

I'm just going to start and see where this takes me...

Here we go:

Chapter Fics Currently Being Posted:

Petals (Dramione, Fae AU, Fated Mates) - Petals just kind of ... happened. It was meant to be a quick five-chapter fic, but the chapters kept getting longer and longer and all of a sudden I have a 90,000+ fic on my hands. Definitely the longest chapters I've written for a book/fic. I tend to like to keep chapters no more than 7k long, but Petal's average is something like 18k. I have no explanation other than it felt right.

Sacred Blood (Dramione, Mafia AU, Alchemy instead of magic) - I absolutely love Mafia Romance, and so it was natural for me to be inspired to write a DHr Mafia fic. This story took a back seat while I got Petals out of my system, unfortunately, it's been a hard year and Petals has taken an age to finish. But I can't wait to get back to my murder bbies.

Wings ... and Other Romantic Things (Charmione, Second Chance Love, Mystery) - A little romcom-esque romp. Hermione is forced to work with Charlie (an ex-fling during the war) when local Veelas are being attacked. Charlie and Hermione must solve the crime and catch the attacker, all while past feelings come back in full force.

Drabble Series In Progress:

Think Of Me (Dramione, Pierced C*ck Draco, Curious Hermione) - I have literally one more chapter to this raunchy, crack fic. I swear I will get to it soon!

Games (Dramione, Panville, Bluna, Theo/Padma, Cho/Dean, Ginny/Harry, Ginny/Seamus, Magical Sex Toys) - I get this one requested to finish a lot (you filthy heathens). I have five more pairings to do!

Ferrets and Fun (Dramione, Ferret Animagus Draco, Fluff/Humor) - I adore Ferret!Draco. Truly. There is no real plot in this drabble series. Just whatever inspires me. I should write another installment of his shenanigans soon ...

Lucius Malfoy and the Eternal Struggle of Being Him (Dramione, Lucius POV) - Same as above, no real plot, just dramatic Daddy Lucius watching his son be in love with Hermione. He's not bad in these, just extra!

Fics I am Currently Writing But Have Not Posted:

Magic Finds A Way (Dramione, Jurassic Park AU) - This fic is an absolute delight. I am actually really proud of it and all the parallels I've made to the original JP book and the films. But it will probably be a while before I post it :(. It's gotta be almost completed before I start to post and it's got to be absolutely perfect to me.

Demagogue (Second Gen, OG MCs but descendants of Dramione, Hinny, and Voldy) - This is my Magnum Opus. And like Magic Finds A Way, will not be posted until I feel it is perfect. But it's a twisty one, with lots of action, mystery, and pining romance. I can't wait to start posting about it.

The Perfect Alpha (Dramione, A/B/O) - I go feral for A/B/O, so while I'm surprised I haven't written more of it (only one little drabble), I am also not surprised. This fic is a lofty one, and my ambition for it has caused it to be put on the back burner. :(

Sad Eyes: The Expansion Series (Dramione, Theo/Padma, Blaise/Luna, Panville) I have three spin-off short chapter fics based in the world of my Sad Eyes fic. All feature a different pairing, tackling different types of trauma and how they heal after the war.

Curses of the Sand (Panville, Adventure through Egypt) - I started writing this fic for a Panville fest but fell behind due to school. I love the story and setting and pairing, so I will definitely be posting it at some point!

2. Which of your WIPs is currently the longest?

Petals at 92,642.

3. Which WIP do you expect will end up the longest?

Demagogue. POSSIBLY Magic Finds A Way.

4. Which WIP is your favourite to write/the most enjoyable to write? Why?

Too difficult a question. I love all my fics for different reasons and it really depends on my current mood and place in life that decides what I want to work on. I'm going through a rough time right now, so I would have to say Petals because Hermione is also currently struggling and it's nice to not feel alone in that regard.

But, I daydream about Demagogue and the Sad Eyes Expansions the most, I would say.

5. Which WIP do you find the most intimidating to write? Why?

Magic Finds A Way. I am worried no one will care about it since it isn't the typical Dramione fic. It's science that has been twisted by magic and dinosaurs ha ha. And if it "flops" I would be devastated because I have literally worked so hard on the parallels between it and the OG materials and media.

I guess the same could be said about Demagogue. It's my baby, my most precious creation, and if no one reads it because it's second-gen and OG characters, with the main pairings fandom likes just being sided characters ... I would probably leave fandom lol, I'm being dramatic but also not really. I am not sure how I would take it if no one gave it a chance.

6. Which WIP do you experience the most self-doubt about. Why?

Oh, well, read my answer to the question above!

7. Which of your WIPs will you seek out a beta/sensitivity reader for? Why?

Magic Finds A Way. I have two betas that have read the OG Jurassic Park, and also have a fandom friend helping me with the French Draco speaks.

I have the same betas for every chapter fic I write. They both encourage and rip apart my writing to help me flesh out every single aspect of my stories.

Drabbles? You get what you get 🤣 from me.

8. Have any of your WIPs been struck by the curse of writer's block?

I don't really get writer's block. I know exactly what I want to happen in all of my story ideas, but I do have periods of time where I am physically unable to write whether that be irl drama, my health, or a busy work schedule that leaves me exhausted.

9. Which WIP has your favourite OC? Tell us about them?

Demagogue! Yes! So, In this fic, The Cursed Child does not exist and my MC is named Hallow and she is the abandoned daughter of Voldemort, adopted by Harry and Ginny after the war.

10. Which WIP is the sexiest?

Well, that depends on what you like 😉

Creature fucking, particularly wing kink? Read Petals.

You into egregious smut? Read my Games series.

Sharp suits, hand kinks, and men who would literaly murder anyone who touches you---that does it for you? Sacred Blood is your jam.

When I finally post my A/B/O, I am sure it will take the cake for spice.

11. Which WIP is the angstiest?

Oh my gosh, Sad Eyes. Hand's down.

12. Which WIP has the best characterisation (in your humble opinion)?

Demagogue. But, for a fic I am currently posting/have posted? Sad Eyes.

13. Which WIP has the best scene setting (in your humble opinion)?

Magic Finds A Way - Isla Nublar (dinosaur island, like come on!)

Curses of the Sand - Egypt

Petals - Faerie Realm

14. Which WIP have you worked the hardest on?

Magic Finds A Way

Demagogue

Petals

15. Which WIP do you have the highest expectations for? Why?

I've kind of already said why, but Demagogue and Magic Finds A Way.

16. Do you dream about any of your WIPs?

Yes ha ha.

17. Do any of your WIPs have particular complexities that your other fics don't?

They all have different complexities and characterizations of the characters we all know and love. I try to change things up with every fic!

18. Which WIP is the funniest or has the most humour?

Lucius Malfoy and the Eternal Struggle of Being Him cracks me up. I love Lucius. And though Sad Eyes is about healing trauma and all that, I think there are some pretty funny moments and quips in that fic.

19. Do any of your WIPs contain outside POVs or a deep dive on a character other than the main ship? How are you finding that process?

Lucius Malfoy and the Eternal Struggle of Being Him, Lucius' POV.

My Sad Eyes Expansion fics as well as my Games series are both diving into pairings I have never done before nor see often or at all!

Petals has POV parts from Narcissa's and it's a really cool way to create an even bigger picture in the aspect of court politics within the fae realm. It makes the stakes seem greater than just Draco and Hermione being mates, etc.

20. Tell us one thing we don't know about one or more of your WIPs.

I have a song for every scene of anything I write. Most of everything I come up with is inspired by music. If you ever ask me what song helped me write a scene/fic/drabble, I will definitely have one to share.

Tagging: Look, I have too many WIPs to tag, so I am not even going to try. I also think this challenge has already made the rounds since I am so behind on doing it. So I don't want to bother anyone by accidentally double-tagging them!

Story time my garbage gallery

Tw. Swwh and bitey owie

We didnt know how it happened or where it came from, it was all too quick, these creatures from the stars nearly wiped humans off the face of the earth in a matter of days. Nora had managed to find a survival group, one of the lucky few who lived in groups. They'd been together the past month, their camp was near the Parrvian nesting grounds, it was risky but it kept raiders and the ones better at hunting away. Today was a special day for them, they'd been preparing hide from the dead one in the hopes of masking their scents. Parrvians had no eyes, just a bunch of nostrils along their snouts, they stood at about 10 meters tall, but their bodies were long and ferret-like. Nora had convinced John and Haro that they could pass by unnoticed with those suits, they didn't believe her but chose to indulge. That brings us to the now, the one dressed in hide creeping out from behind a broke building on all fours, clicking the back of her tongue like the Parrvians did, her friends taking notes behind the rock.

"they dont even care" "dude that one just sniffed her" "how's she even making that noise"

They spoke hushed so they wouldn't be found, watching in awe, soon to be replaced by terror. She glanced back at them, not noticing the one approaching her, his fur pattern a splash of greys and blacks like a calico's pattern. She couldn't figure out what was wrong till she saw one of them mouth "mutation" she froze, slowly looking up at it. It felt like it was staring back, mutations just meant they had different aspects to them the species didnt, the issue here is everyone in the area knew this one, stories of it had been left on the community board the groups used to communicate, this was Roc. She tried to take a step back, clicking to try and throw it off, instead being picking up between it's talons and brought to it's face "you humans outdid yourself this time, i almost thought you a pup" she paled, her heart rate jumping as she tried to pry his hand off, afraid the others would swarm hearing that. Her struggles only getting a chuckle in response "my kin dont understand english, they just hear weird noises" he sneered, putting her down "so i suggest you run along before i decide you arent THAT interesting" he started to walk off, dragging his tail a little. She glanced at her teammates frantically beckoning her to leave before instead going over and pulling some hair out of his tail. The boys paled, already prepared for the worse, ready to post they'd lost someone today. Roc turned around and snarled at her, holding her down under his claw, his cheeks a warm pink "what the hells was that?! Do you even know what you just did?!" She hesitantly nodded, struggling to get her arm free, but when she did she ripped out some of her own hair and offered it. He sniffed at it before getting off, a growl escaping him, it sounded more embarrassed than angry as he stormed off instead of ending her. She hurried back to the others, smiling brightly "i'd call that a success" John slapped her in the back of the head "dont. Flirt. With. Predators." She winced rubbing her head, following them as they headed back to camp.

Over the next few months she kept visiting, reporting her findings on the board, noticing strange notes claiming the board wasnt safe anymore. She came to find out why when she came to check it one evening, getting tackled by a clawed hand 2x her size. She was probably the worse one to get caught, not panicking when brought up to the grey speckled muzzle to be sniffed, a long and tired huff escaping the larger creature "you know one of these days i'll actually eat you" she gave a little shrugged "kay" he seemed annoyed at this, putting her down "what are you even doing here, why are you all here, it reeks of human all over" she glanced at the board, that was a flaw, they all left trails home "it's where we share information, mostly stories about you" he did that weird blush again, she liked it, it was cute "they take a note and pin it here and we get the info by coming" he leaned close to sniff the board "fascinating... Can you read me some?" She hesitated, going over to the board "food found over near old creek road, will share. The Roc is approaching Junker city, if anyone can lead it away. Nesting season is coming prepare to collect egg shells" he wrinkled his snout "why collect eggs" she shrugged "smell like you" after about an hour he grew bored, quietly thanking her before just slinking off, she was hurt he just left but that didnt matter, he didnt seem to care about that.

Spring came quickly, humans gathering egg shells when the nest were unattended, including Nora's group. They'd sent her alone since the hide was tailored to her size. She'd assumed it'd still work, gathering up chunks of shell, marching along through the nests, that is until she noticed they seemed to be "staring" more than usual. She waited for one of the females to approach her again, sticking her arm out for it to smell, yah that'd be -CRK- it bit into her arm, she could feel the teeth scraping against her bone as she tried to pull her arm away, dropping her egg shells. What- how- she got her arm free when it tried adjusting it's grip, trying to run, she could hear it roaring to alert others of the nest intrusion. She felt dizzy as the wound bled, it was deeper than was safe, she needed to find somewhere to wrap it. She looked back to check if she was being followed, so focused on the swarm she didn't notice the one in front of her until it was too late, the massive jaws scooping her up like a pup. She tried to protect her good arm, all of her except for her legs engulfed within the beast, trying to pry her fingers between its teeth to get it to let go. The teeth moved, but her relief was short lived as they simply let go, gravity doing the rest. Her head hit the soft palette at the back of his mouth, already soaked in saliva she was pretty easy to slide around, she was trying to get her bearings before the ground disappeared from under her, she didn't even have time to yelp as the muscles opened up and swallowed her. It was so tight she thought she'd suffocate before anything, pushing and kicking as tears clouded her eyes, this wasn't supposed to happen. She was pushed into a smaller chamber, it wasn't as tight at least but it still didn't give her much room. She whimpered, her whole body aching as she slowly gave up, not sure if the moisture on her cheeks was her own tears or just the digestive enzymes surrounding her. A gentle purr rocking the walls against her "i told you i'd eat you one day" the words echoed around her, she let out a little sniffle "wh- Roc?" She waited for a response, scared her mind was playing tricks on her "of course, who else would eat something as trashy as you" he wasnt good at jokes, hoping they did ease her mind though. She pressed her face into the wall, whimpering "you big idiot" he pressed back from the outside "that's not what you call someone who rescued you" she chuckled, trying not to choke on her own tears. He rubbed his sternum ".... I didnt eat you ok... You're in my crop?" She nodded a little "o-ok" he heaitated before speaking again "you're safe, i promise" she laughed again, just overwhelmed "i know"

Self Promo Sunday: "I Put A Spell On You (Because You're Mine)"

This mini-MC really belongs more with the October/spooky postings probably, but I wanted to get it in before I started with my November and Thanksgiving re-runs. I've always been pleased with how this late season 4 canon divergent fic turned out, and I'm trying to gain it a little more love and a few more eyes to see it. It was written right after the 4b episode "Sympathy for the DeVil" (so 4x17? 4x18?) and picks up pretty much where that episode left off. My idea for how the Darkness would lure Emma, and even how it would manifest, was way different than the way the show took it, so this is now definitely canon divergent from that point. If you read this again, or if you're seeing it for the first time, I hope you'll enjoy!

Summary: He's been watching the changes for weeks now, worrying about her well-being and the demons she's fighting... When it all goes crazy, will he be able to help her step back from the brink? (A 4B chaptered story, taking off somewhere near 4x18, and carrying on from there. CS, obviously and all the way)

i. darkness creeps in

The deepening purplish circles under her eyes have been growing ever more pronounced, worrying him for weeks now. She is both anxious and jittery, yet bone-weary and weighed down by the cares upon her shoulders. Emma Swan surely thinks that she has hidden her stress and fatigue well, but to one who knows her (and he does know her – as well as she will allow anyone to) the strain is beginning to show.

When they part ways at night now, she tilts her face up to his, grinning a warm, secretive smile and awaiting his gentle kiss, and he tucks her hair behind her ear, cradles her cheek in his hand, profoundly happy to steal a few moments alone with her. Yet, he also finds himself near to biting a hole in his tongue to keep back his words of caution for her, his fear that she is pushing herself too hard, too far, too soon. He cannot risk driving a wedge between them or making her run – not now. She is already keeping her distance from her parents, no longer staying with them in the loft. He has gone back to his ship since the Jolly’s return to him, and so has offered her the use of his room at Granny’s – paid for the month in doubloons that the old woman bit to check for authenticity, then grinned conspiratorially, accepted, and ferretted away in some hidden pocket of her skirts. However, he wonders if Emma paces the floor all night, or haunts the library seeking answers with an equally sleepless Belle, or simply drives aimlessly for hours; whatever it is she does, he can plainly see that she is not resting.

Killian Jones is not a man afraid of much on this wide earth’s surface, but Emma turning her back on him now and walking away is a haunting phantasm that never truly leaves his mind. And it is no longer simply the pain he knows he will feel, but the fact that she needs his support more than ever. He is more afraid for her safety and her sanity than he has ever been, and he does not know what method to try.

Those worries and fears all come to a head as he skids to the edge of the cliff face, behind a stunned, crushed-looking Mary Margaret and David, where he can clearly see Emma and Henry clinging tightly to one another frantically; panting, near tears, and much too close to the drop-off, but at first glance seeming whole and unharmed. He does not know where the rotten banshee who tried taking Henry has gotten to, has missed the entire showdown due to what he knows must have been Gold’s trickery and machination with the shell and Henry’s voice. He wanted to be there and have his Swan’s back, but he feels intense relief to see that she seems to have done just fine on her own.

A rush of air brushes along his skin as Regina charges up behind him, nearly bowling them all over as she calls out her son’s name in a voice harsh with desperation, clearly having been slowed by a similar deception to the one which fooled him. Killian merely steps back so that she can see her boy has been saved and reach him.

It is only as Regina falls to her knees on Henry’s other side, pulls him into her arms, and Emma shifts back slightly, that he is hit by a jolt of fear upon getting a good first look at her face. The reddened irritation beneath her lovely eyes has taken on an even more pronounced hue, making her look angry and more than a bit unhinged. He takes a weak step forward, wishing to soothe, to comfort…but then she leans to peer over the edge. Killian realizes in a flash that Cruella must have gone off the precipice, that the villainess is truly finished, no longer a threat. However, he is frozen in place, a chill of foreboding running down his spine, when Emma turns in his direction once more.

Her gaze is unfocused, not resting on any of them, but turned inward as if contemplating what she thinks of Cruella’s demise. Killian’s heart does not truly splinter until he sees a small, ill-suited little grin of satisfaction sneak over Emma’s lips…almost as if she is pleased with what she has done.

And he knows. Knows with the sinking certainty of one who has crawled back out of the pit and still clearly remembers the darkness’ pull, that something inside of his beautiful Emma has turned. A bit of his Savior’s shining, bright light has gone out.

hey yall wanted to say thank you <3 farm vet is coming out tomorrow to boost everyone and check over kpop (who was the one that 'discovered' it). was quoted 180 so with what i had + the help received it was covered and my bills for the rest of the month are covered too WILL be sending back payments as soon as my check hits the first of the month. i just did not prepare well for something like this and if it hadn't been this month (which i had a procedure across state for my gastro issues and our water pump went kaplooey last month PLUS gas payments b/c cold weather. it was literally a stack. i sat down after i calmed down trying to figure out where tf all my money went and most of the extra was a 300+ propane fill up due to the sudden cold) it would have been ok. meanwhile: i can officially say i have went head to head with a probable rabid animal AND ran through a wildfire for my dogs. i also got told by the biologist and game warden that came out i had balls of steel because i captured it in a rubbermaid tote i have seen rabid animals before but they were always further along (drunk, stumbling, a worry yes but not like... quick and chasing. i've never seen one like this) so seeing one that was early on and super aggressive is something really etched in my memory (i said on unleashed it reminded me of wardancing that ferrets did, but actually, it reminds me of the rabid fox videos. relentless.). the game warden dispatched one at the reserve that is ten or so miles from me this same week according to him. it was a really weird morning with a bit of phone tag at first because no one wanted to come out this far to dispatch but, but shout out to that same local reserve whose game warden was the one that got people to come out (animal control, biologist, and himself). they were very kind and listened to my worries and stuff. i am not getting post b/c i am 100% sure it never sprayed me, scratched me, or bit me (which means my state insurance will not cover it and fuck all do i have that amount of money lol. health department is not reporting it as a possible exposure). i was proactive keeping the tub between me and it while trying to get it away from the dog's kennel (it wouldn't let me get them back into the house). i am regretting selling my gun now but honestly i would not have been comfortable moving and having to dispatch at the same time anyway. it literally would not stop chasing me down. i did not have on my glasses and was in shorts and flip flops trying to deal with this thing after having just woken up. it was a very odd day and i did not have that on my 2023 bingo card. it did, at least, let me document explicitly a possible MCAS event due to adrenaline that i've been trying to remember to document as it happens for months now as i told @notfruits (who ty so much for listening to me sob about this and calming my ass down. same with reggie! yall were a lifesaver) i am either stupider or braver than i think i am when it comes to protecting the dogs

[shrinkthisviolet]

your OCs have been replaced by a mimic! how do their loved ones figure out they're fake?

Love this question!

For Morgan...if this is post-s2, then it's a no-brainer—get Jesse to try and "link up" with her (their telepathy link can be open or closed by either of them). Specifically, it would have to be on the same Earth, face-to-face because...Jesse would connect with the real Morgan no matter where she is—they’d have to make sure she’s connecting to this one. And also, opening the link for either of them when they're on the same Earth is very painful…so either Jesse would feel no pain at all (thus, Morgan is on a different Earth) or this imposter/mimic would be unable to mimic the pain properly/convincingly (thus, this isn't Morgan).

Of course, if it's pre-s2, then Team Flash would have to test her memories of them. Though if she shares memories with Morgan, then Barry dials up the sibling affection, knowing that if she's really not his baby sister, she'll get uncomfortable.

For Lucy...well, Luke and Leia share a Force connection with her (Leia doesn't know how to use it, she just has feelings from time to time, but still). If the imposter/mimic isn't Force-Sensitive, one of them (probably Luke) will ferret them out. If they are Force-Sensitive...well, Luke knows how his sister feels in the Force, so he'd still figure them out. Non-Force-Sensitives, or those less experienced like Leia, would have to get creative, asking questions to probe her memory.

For Reyna...Nora would be the key, but Cisco could be too. Even if the imposter/mimic stole/copied Reyna's powers, she wouldn't feel the same to Cisco as Reyna does—everyone has a unique frequency, and Cisco would be attuned to that as an experienced breacher/viber.

Nora, meanwhile...Reyna's her best friend, later her girlfriend and lightning rod. She could use some good old-fashioned interrogation (peppering her with questions about very specific childhood memories). She could maybe also try going for a kiss if they’re dating by the time this happens, but the impersonator/mimic might be dedicated enough to go through with it. Maybe she kisses differently and Nora can tell? Hmm but if she’s a skilled enough mimic, then maybe not. I guess it depends.

For Amelia...oh this is tricky. If it happens pre-Snap, then ofc Gwen, Peter, or May could figure it out. During the Snap though...no one would 🥺 she doesn't know anyone well until she befriends Norman, and Otto and Rosalie foster and then adopt her, and even that trust takes time to build. Even then, Amelia likely wouldn't be totally open about her childhood, because it's too painful to talk about.

Post-Snap, she'd at least have more of a support system, but...it's really getting May and Gwen back that helps. And Peter...well, things are tense, and even when they're better, her memory of him gets erased pretty soon after. A mimic/impersonator, if she picks the right time to impersonate Amelia, could go undetected for years

do you think tony would ever want a pet? (cat/dog/fish etc.)

I really don’t think he would 😭 he didn’t grow up with animals, and is a little scared of them and uncomfortable, and he doesn’t want fur everywhere (and swears it’ll mess with his allergies) and also doesn’t want his floor and furniture scratched up. Oh but there are pets that wouldn’t do any of that! He doesn’t want his living room smelling like fish ☹️ or lizard poop ☹️

BUT

Obviously if you already have a pet… you can’t just leave it behind :((( and he knows that. He’s probably never been particularly close to it, or went out of his way to seek out your pet when he came over, but now he has to live with it. Every day. All day.

If it’s a dog, he might be a little apprehensive and nervous if it’s excitable and hyper, and therefore mostly ignores it tbh. If it’s calmer, and just kinda hangs out, Tony still won’t have much to do with it… but he’ll be less nervous. He definitely won’t want it on the bed… or the furniture… but it’s kinda hard if you already let it on the bed and the furniture 🥺 Tony and the dog definitely won’t see eye to eye in this case, and when you’re not home, Tony is absolutely trying to tell it to get down aaaaaand the dog just side eyes him and rolls over 😕😕😕 Tony could try to pick it up… but he’s never really touched it before either ☹️☹️☹️☹️ so as soon as he does… your dog probably gets very excited and starts rolling around which probably gets fur everywhere and also freaks him out 😩😩😩😩😩 So your dog wins… but eventually, when it’s sitting right at his feet because he’s making food… Tony can’t help but subtly drop a few pieces of carrot or steak 😌

If it’s a cat, he’s definitely only able to think about those claws, and those videos where sometimes cats just randomly attack people… but it seems to keep to itself pretty often! Which is nicer than a dog constantly pawing at him! Until the cat starts sitting closer and closer, and then one day is laying right next to his arm while he’s working. He’s a little nervous, but so far so good. He probably tenses a little when it rubs against him, and anytime it’s around furniture or scratching at its posts. And eventually it’ll probably crawl in his lap and decide to sleep there, and Tony is probably freaking out inside and just tries to ignore it at all costs… but eventually you’ll probably find him petting it a few times!

If it’s an exotic animal, he might be a little more relived because it’s mostly in its cage/tank! No fur! And he doesn’t have to touch it! Oh no- is it a bird? He’ll definitely get anxious when they fly around, and if it’s a big bird, he’ll definitely be afraid of it 🤧 idk if he’ll warm up to a bird, especially if it’s a loud one 😕

Is it a snake? He likes looking at it through the glass! But he definitely won’t hold it! And please feed it before you leave for a vacation, he really doesn’t want to touch dead rats 😫😫😫 Same with a lizard. It looks cool, but if you let it roam free when you clean the cage, Tony won’t be afraid, but he’l be incredibly scared of losing it! He’ll probably follow it around everywhere, or attach a balloon to it if it’s big enough! He might hold it, but as soon as it starts wiggling he’s handing it right back! He might be able to feed it, all he has to do is drop veggies through the top! But it’s kinda gross that you keep an cage of bugs in his house ☹️ and he has to look at them ☹️

If it’s rats/gerbils/hamsters… he probably won’t let you bring in more once they pass…. If it’s bugs or spiders…. Same thing.

Ferrets? Okay, actually, he’ll end up having a lot of fun with them! Until he can’t find a watch… or his bottle of vitamins… and then they’re all hoarded under the couch! He still likes them, but now he can’t leave things lying around that’s for sure!

If you just want fish, he can deal with it. As long as they won’t smell like, well, fish! In fact, he might have fun with the aquarium! Maybe make a cool aquarium in the wall, equipped with all sorts of lights and decor and live plants. It’ll be very pretty! And he might be pretty proud of it! But his downfall is that he may forget to feed them if you’re away. Well, JARVIS can remind him! Or DUM-E could do it… actually no, he might dump the whole bottle of food in…

If you have eventually have kids, there will definitely be a point when they keep asking him for a dog or a cat or even a pony. He really really doesn’t want to give in, and maybe up to this point there’s never been any animals, but it’s hard to say no to his boys 😞😞😞😞 he might not agree to a pony, but maybe a small dog? Well, when he takes the kids to an animal shelter to look at the puppies, of course that puppy that was supposed to only be around 15 pounds is still growing bigger and bigger everyday 🙂 but hey, his kids are having fun running around and are happy, and he doesn’t have to worry about feeding it because the kids are plenty eager to take care of it! But it’s still not allowed on the furniture 😒😒😒😒😒

[garbage-connoisseur]

Ator, The Fighting Eagle (aka Ator l'invincibile)

Just a heads up, this movie has spiders in it, and I will be showing them in this post.

Stop me if you've heard this one before:

In a time of magic, the ruled by an evil overlord worshiping a spider god. However, it is prophesied that he shall one day be overthrown by a hero of good. On the prophesied day of the birth of the hero, a mass infanticide is committed. Where all newborn babies are murdered by the followers of the overlord. But one child is saved, and taken by a mysterious stranger to be raised by an adoptive family, who is of course unaware of the child's true destiny, even though all those baby murders just happened. Now, as a young, strangely muscular and very handsome young man, our hero has fallen in love with his sister, which fortunately his parents are totally okay with, because they're not blood related, and so that's totally fine actually guys. But in the middle of their marriage ceremony, the overlords evil henchmen raid the village, killing everyone and kidnapping The Chosen One's sister-wife. Now it is up to our young hero, dressed in a loincloth and accompanied by a cute but dangerous critter, to save her and bring about the end of the evil tyranny.

Wat, let's focus on that cover again... What sort of animal companion do you think Ator has besides him? He's named "The Fighting Eagle" on the cover, and next to him is a saber-tooth tiger. Perhaps this is ripping off Beastmaster? That one has the hero accompanied by a black panther, an eagle and two mischievous ferrets. Well...

Okay, that is a VERY cute bear cub... I'll let it slide.

Now that Ator has something to avenge and a damsel to save, it is time for him to meet a mysterious stranger from his past with the worst wig you have ever seen, so he can be told of his destiny and also have a training montage.

Soon after Ator gets caught in a tiny net by a group of warrior women however.

Thankfully it all turns out to be a big misunderstanding. You see, as a tribe of amazons, they just need him for a a big fighting tournament, which will decide which one of them will bear the child that will become the next leader of the tribe. Oh, and after that they'll just kill him. But thankfully our himbo is such a pure boy, that he impresses the winner of the tournament with his goal of winning back the love of his life and also slaying the evil warlord and his spider god, that she agrees to let him go, on the condition that she gets to tag along, and get all the treasure. Also, she's definitely not going to be all tsundere about it.

It's around this point that the movie sorta forgets where it's going for a little bit to instead have a little filler chapter or two, in which our himbo protagonist gets himself into trouble because he's too pure for this world. Ator follows the vision of his sister-wife into a cave unaccompanied by his cute animal sidekick and amazon companion. In this cave he meets a mysterious horned woman in a room whose primary furniture seems to be a king-sized bed. The woman offers him a golden chalice containing an unknown liquid to drink, which he immediately does without question.

He then proceeds to have to be rescued from the very obvious Circe-type enchantress trap by his significantly smarter companions.

While Ator & co. are busy side-questing, someone on the writing team remembers that they're supposed to be moving towards a big final battle, and decides to alert the spider-loving big bad, who is conveniently named Daker, exactly like his actor...

And he mobilizes his vast army of exactly ten people to prepare to defend against the guy destined to kick their asses.

I won't spoil the ending, even though you can probably all guess it. Bu I will show off the genuinely cool giant spider, which they make sure to never show too much of at once, which keeps it from looking too goofy. I'm honestly very impressed!

Overall Ator: The Fighting Eagle is a quite charming, if very cliché Italian sword and sorcery flick. It checks off all the boxes, but unlike many such 80s sword and sorcery movies there's no gratuitous nudity, attempted sexual assault scenes or other sleaze, which alone puts it in the better end of the scale (and is honestly surprising given that it was directed by Joe D'Amato, who is best known for his sexploitaiton films). This is the first of four movies featuring Ator and so far only the first and third have had blu-ray releases.

While it was pretty trope-heavy and meandered for a bit in places, it was also competently made for its genre and well worth watching if you enjoy movies like The Beastmaster or Conan.

[ferretanon]

Yeah idk what to say about all the engineer reblogs sorry if I'm clogging your feed it's MY us election coping mechanism and HE'S front and center

[volfoss]

Team Bucciarati pet headcanons:

(long post under the cut)

Giorno Giovanna:

He would definitely have pet frogs and in his big office, probably a really big terrarium

I think he'd have probably a few frogs but I can see him having an Asian painted frog and a reticulated glass frog

He would be the actual best frog dad and I can see him letting them just chill on his shoulder during meetings

Would probably get random frogs off the street too so his frogs don't get lonely

He'd name them slightly goofy names or let one of the gang name them

When Giorno gets overwhelmed from work, he'll just put some gloves on and hold the frogs for a bit

He has a lot of experience caring for them, because as soon as he realized he could have a pet, he went into research overdrive

Gio is also in change of taking care of Coco Jumbo, and dotes on the turtle a lot! At this point his entire room is nearly a terrarium.

Pannacotta Fugo:

Pannacotta really admires ferrets because of how smart and mischievous they are but didn't feel like he could take care of one because of how he struggles to control his emotions

He brought it up offhand after Narancia got his gerbils and Narancia had no hesitation to help Pannacotta care for a ferret in exchange for help with schoolwork

They went to a lot of pet stores until they found a rescue with a few ferrets left

The second he laid eyes on this adorable white ferret who was napping, Pannacotta's mind was set, this was the pet for him

The ferret immediately snuggled right up to him when he held it

The whole way home (Giorno drove), he was brainstorming names

The first night, he woke up panicked as Purple Haze was out and just watching the ferret, but watching the ferret run around the large enclosure that the gang worked together to get built

PH seemed oddly peaceful but that didn't help Pannacotta feel less worried that it was out, but as the night went on, he found that spending time and playing with the ferret made him feel more comfortable around it in general

Narancia Ghirga:

Definitely a gerbil and probably begged Bruno to take him to a pet store to get one which then turned into two because he couldn't resist the two he found

He would probably keep one or both in his pockets around the house and sneak them little scraps of Bruno's cooking at the dinner table

His favorite thing is seeing them use the toys he got for them or when they sleep on top of each other

Would probably name them adjectives, like Stuzzichine or Coccolone and give them semi ridiculous nicknames

Would keep them on his lap when the gang has a movie night and loves when they fall asleep on him

Trish Una:

Trish really likes lovebirds and has an affinity for birds which she found out when Giorno made her a bird out of paperwork for her birthday

She had to go and get another one so they could play with each other. The trip to the rescue had involved the entire family since no one wanted to turn her down when she looked that excited.

Trish took a while picking one out, as she needed to make sure that they would get along with the bird at home, but she settled on a very cheerful peach-faced lovebird

The entire ride home, the bird was leaning into her head pets and being generally noisy

Trish likes to sing or hum and the birds will chirp along with her

When she works on schoolwork, the birds will perch on her shoulder often times to try and get her attention, which makes schoolwork take a long time. She absolutely loves doting on them

Trish takes the absolute best care of them and gets them the finest things!

Guido Mista:

Dog has 3 legs bc luck

Guido adopted a stray Doberman Pinscher on his way back from a solo mission without telling anyone, other than Giorno who was about to head out when Guido was sneaking into the base

Obviously he couldn't just leave the poor thing there when it was looking at him with those eyes, and he was fairly certain that the actual zoo they had in their base would not be helped by a big dog, but he wasn't going to let Vivian ( he had already named her after the main character of his favorite movie) limp around with no home

Giorno helped smuggle her in since barely anyone else was home, and sent Narancia off to get some dog supplies while he helped Guido get Vivian settled

They helped get her all clean, which was difficult with her tail wagging at a rapid pace, and water was all over the bathroom by the time that they were done

The two of them got the dog all comfy on Mista's (very ugly and questionably patterned) bedspread and she snuggled right up to Guido the second he laid down

The Sex Pistols love the dog too, and find themselves resting on her when she sleeps since Vivian is so warm and riding on her back when she's being played with

Guido is already used to giving the Pistols food, but now he also has a dog (although he doesn't give her a ton of human food) to feed

It doesn't take too long for the rest of the group to realize there is a big dog, especially when Guido trains Vivian a lot during the day or is outside playing with her

Giorno has offered multiple times to make a leg for her missing leg, but Mista insists she's fine without one (and he won't admit that the tetraphobia makes it hard to think about her having 4 legs instead of her 3)

Vivian gets along well with the rest of the pets, thanks to a lot of training and steady introductions to everyone else

Bruno Bucciarati:

He and Leone have had cats for years, although he's constantly the instigating force to bring new animals in (including all the kids pets), he has a massive soft spot for strays

He's the very best cat dad and has blankets quite literally everywhere possible to give the cats as many options to lay and built cat ledges for their windows so the cats can bask in the sun

Has a lint roller in the car because the cats love, love, love to lay on his clothes when he sets them out for a shower. He learned his lesson with his lingerie and does not have that set out after one of the cats clawed into it and destroyed it

Bruno can and will walk the cats if the weather is permitting

He just started bringing the strays home one day, and Leone didn't notice until the 2nd cat started clawing up his pants while he was wearing them

Bruno, in contrast to Leone's bad names, gives the cats some extremely cheesy nicknames and has no shame using them in public

One of the strays that they brought in initially was a very young kitten, and he stayed up all night (ignoring the meeting/job he had the next day) to care for it and make sure it was alright

He SPOILS these cats rotten and they have multiple cat towers around their room because of that

The cats also have customized collars and they are all color coordinated

Bruno really relies on the cats if the memories of somehow surviving the fight become too strong, as the cats can really sense when he's stressed and huddle around him

The cats really like to bat at his zippers, so he makes sure to change out of his suit when he knows he'll be home for the rest of the night

Leone Abbacchio:

So. Many. Cats.

As much as Leone gripes about the fur on his clothes, he loves when the cats come in and keep him company when he's winding down for the day with a good book

He swears he doesn't mean to keep adopting cats but they tend to show up at the base or Bruno sneaks another one home

He has a few blankets piled up under the windowsills so the cats can lay there, but often finds them all on his bed or trailing behind him

He tends to feed strays when they come but tries to not get attached

Has the actual worst names for them and refuses to change even when the rest of the family judges him for it

He often wakes up surrounded by cats or having one lay on his face

Leone and Bruno have had cats for years so are practiced cat dads by now

The kids often will just come and grab a cat if they need a stress reliever

Leone will not admit it but he wakes up early to feed the cats wet food and tries to be stealthy about it

As for cat breeds, most of theirs aren't purebred, but their cats that they know for sure are breeds are semi close to being a Bengal and a Cornish Rex

He keeps toys for them in his bedside table to make sure they don't wake him or Bruno up in the middle of the night with wanting to play (they do anyways)

If he's sitting anywhere, there's a very high chance there's a cat on his lap or laying on his chest if he's reclining

All of the cats are incredibly attached to him and when he's on a mission, they'll wait in a group at the front door until he returns

Bolin x female airbender (Tenzin’s daughter) Part 2

You and Bolin continue sneaking around as your relationship progresses but after a dangerous development the relationship between you, Bolin and your father becomes even more strained and changes permanently

Part One here

Your POV

Ever since your dad caught you in Bolin’s bedroom he had watched you like a hawk. He didn’t bar your windows like he promised (your mother forbid it as a fire hazard) but he did have the air temple island guards incorporate your room into their patrol routes, which meant you had soldiers pass your window about fifty times a day. He also disovered you were using Pabu to send messages to Bolin and made the fire ferret wear a bell so he could hear him at all times. He even enrolled your younger siblings into keeping track of you. Jinora wasn’t too interested but Meelo and Ikki posted themselves in the hallway between your and Bolin’s rooms and would yell anytime either of you left them. With all this you’d think you and Bolin would get disheartened or put off trying to see each other but it only made it all the more fun. You’d soon learnt the patrol routes and worked out the times you could leave out of your window undetetced. Pabu got really good at sneaking around will holding onto the bell so it didn’t ring and you enrolled Jinora to distract Ikki and Meelo when needed. Which you’d done today, you were supposed to be in your room but had paid Jinora to keep everyone away from your room so you could sneak out to see Bolin’s first probending match of the season. You’d asked your dad to go see it and when he told you no you’d taken it upon yourself to disobey him and go see Bolin.

The operation was tricky, there were two active patrols, multiple windows and a sea to cross to get to the stadium but for Bolin you took it all on. When you finally reached the arena you smiled and made your way to the fire ferrets training room. You knocked and the door was opened by non other that Bolin. “Y/n!” Bolin cried seizing you in a hug that, with the height difference, turned into him picking you up “I didn’t know if you’d be able to make it”. “Of course I would” you smiled as he put you back down “it’s your first match of the season, no way my dad could make me miss that”. You took Bolin’s hand and he stared at you with pure adoration. “Maybe we should...” Asami coughed pointing to the door and Korra nodded “yeah let’s go get some waters or something”. “But there’s water right here” Mako protested but Korra yanked his arm dragging him out of the room, leaving you and Bolin alone. “So how are you feeling?” you asked “nervous?”. “A bit...” Bolin admitted “we’ve been out of practice for a while”. “Don’t be!” you cried “you, Mako and Korra are an amazing team, you’ve worked so hard and you’re the best earth bender in this whole thing, you’re going to smash the competition, literally”. Bolin grinned bashfully “you think so?”. “I know so” you smiled and took a t-shirt out of your bag. It had the fire ferrets in writing across it with a picture of Pabu as honorary mascot. Bolin cheered in glee grabbing it from you “this is amazing! Where did you get it?”. “Had it made” you smiled “turns out my uncle knows a guy so I had him make me a batch”. You tugged it over your head and turned back to Bolin “how does it look?”. “Amazing, you’re amazing, you being here is amazing”. You grinned as Bolin drew you into a hug burying you against his chest. It had been a while since you’d been able to just be alone together and not have to worry about your dad or anyone catching you. You forgot how much you missed him, just being with Bolin and smiled. “You’re pretty amazing too” you smirked blushing and Bolin’s smile grew. He leaned in and you met him half way and wrapped your arms around his neck to reach his lips easier. Bolin smiled against the kiss but soon became transfixed by the sensation of kissing you. You also hadn’t been able to kiss Bolin in a while and especially not like this so took your time enjoying it. Bolin did too and he carried on kissing you, the intensity growing as you both got more and more passionate. “erm guys...” a voice called beside you and you both opened your eyes to see Korra waving awkwardly with Mako and Asami by the door. Water in hand and in full view of you and Bolin. You both blushed and Bolin let go of you “sorry...we didn’t hear you”. “Yeah well you were pretty busy” Korra smirked and you blushed even more as did Bolin. “We have to go now or we’re going to be late! I knew we shouldn’t have gone for water” Mako cried and Asami rolled her eyes. Korra and Bolin hurried to finish getting ready and Bolin put his helmet on and turned to you “how do i look?”. You retied the straps of his helment, ensuring it was on properly, and smiled “perfect, now go win”. You pecked his lips and Bolin grinned before going to stand beside Mako and Korra. The three of them were pushed onto the stage by the moving platform and you took your seat beside Asami. “So you and Bolin seem good” she smirked and you nodded sighing happily “we are, he’s perfect” you smiled watching him on the stage. “If only my dad would but out and leave us alone”. Asami noticed how quickly your face turned from joy to fury and frowned, she’d never heard you talk about your dad so negatively. "You know your dad’s just looking out for you right?" Asami asked you and you sighed "yeah but it’s so over the top, i’m not a little kid, he can’t stop me from dating just because he doesn’t like it and i could do a lot worse than Bolin". As if to prove it at that moment Bolin knocked the opposing earth bender off the platform into the water and you jumped up cheering for him. Bolin grinned glancing over to where you were when his smile turned into a frown. You were confused when you felt a presence behind you. A hand grabbed your arm tightly "what do you think you’re doing here young lady?" Tenzin asked and you groaned. "Answer the question" your father glared "you know I forbid you from coming here". "But why? Korra’s here and it’s the first game of the season! You can’t punish me forever for what happened with me and Bolin it was weeks ago!". "Ow I think I can and it’ll be for a lot longer now too" he glared "now go home this instance". You sighed glancing to where Bolin was getting ready for round two but nodded, if you didn’t go your dad would probably drag you there himself. "Fine" you glared at your father and left the training room.

You exited the building and headed to the docks for a boat back to air temple island. You were so angy at your dad you didn’t even realise there were people following you. You didn’t become aware of them until they were right behind you. You’d taken a wrong turn and ended up at dead end. They stood at the opposite end of the street blocking your exit. When you locked eyes they sprang into action, running towards you and you went in panic mode. You ran forwards and used your bending to propel yourself upwards and then altered your air stream to push off of a building and touched down behind them. You had no idea who these people were but didn’t want to wait find out, you ran. Not really paying attention to anything besides the people chasing you, you shot around every corner rapidly, jumping over fences and under any barrier you could, using air bending to help you in any way but it didn’t seem to do much, they were still hot on your tail. If anything more people appeared to chase you until finally you rounded a corner to see a man waiting with his back to you. The man turned and you saw a white mask on his face. It was Amon, the famous chi blocker who could take a benders power away and wanted to ruin the air nation, apparently starting with you. You went to turn around and run the other way but his men were blocking it, having caught up with you. You frowned knowing you couldn’t let them capture you and went to airbend upwards anything to get away but the man spoke. "I wouldn’t do that if i was". Ignoring him you tried it and were met with a flurry of wires latching onto you that sent you crashing back down hard. You hit your head hard and were barely conscious but the last thing you remembered was the masked face coming closer.

12 hours later

"This is all your fault!" Tenzin yelled at Bolin who frowned. Bolin had been out all night looking for you, he was sleep derpived, out of his mind with worry for you, hadn’t eaten in over 16 hours hours and was bruised and aching all over due to his probending game. So while normally he wouldn’t have talked back to your father he was too exhausted to control his mouth "my fault?" Bolin asked "how is it my fault?". "She snook out to come see you! She was there because of you! She’s missing because of you it’s all your fault and if anything’s happened to her I will blame you and only you" Tenzin yelled. Pama and Korra frowned as Bolin’s face crumpled but Tenzin didn’t care "I never should’ve allowed this in the first place, I want you out of my house immedietly! You’re a bad influence on y/n and I won’t have you dating her anymore". Tenzin was cut off when the door was thrown open and Mako appeared with you. You were walking but had one arm around Mako’s neck to help you. "Y/n" everyone cried and your parents both got emotional over your bruised face and slumped posture. Your eyes were red raw and they asked you a thousand questions but you didn’t answer any. You turned away and they looked to Mako confused. "I found her by the docks unconscious, it was Amon’s men". "That scoundral!" Tenzin yelled watching as you walked soundlessly to your room. "That’s not all" Mako said as Tenzin went to follow you "she told me...she tried at the docks but she couldn’t...he took her bending". The whole room went silent and they jumped as you slammed your door, sending shock waves through the house.

Hours later you still hadn’t spoken a word. You wouldn’t answer your mother or father’s questions, or eat their food, or allow korra to heal you. You just curled up in your bed and stared at the wall. It seemed nobody remembered Tenzin’s harsh words after Mako’s bombshell, Bolin especially. He was the first to offer words of encouragement to your parents, the first to offer his condolences but also to remind them you were okay, you were alive, that was all that mattered. Your parent’s worry wasn’t easily washed away though and they hovered in your room fussing over you in every way possible. Pema thought you needed space to process but Tenzin refused to leave your side. Bolin itched to rush to your side and be with you but he knew Tenzin wouldn’t allow that, so he sighed and sat on the floor outside your room waiting. He heard as Tenzin tried everything to break you out of your silence, soothing tones, hugging you, begging you, even being harsh and raising his voice but nothing worked. Exhausted Tenzin fell asleep on a chair beside your bed, while you stayed awake not moving or talking just staring at the wall.

When Tenzin woke up hours later you were gone and the plate of food beside your bed empty. "Pema" he cried jumping up and his wife rushed to him "Tenzin?". "Y/n she’s...". "She’s fine" Pema told him. "She’s eaten?" Tenzin cried showing her the plate and Pema shushed him. She waved her hand and Tenzin followed her to were you were in the living room. You were curled up on the sofa, knees against your chest, beside Bolin fast asleep. Bolin was asleep too, sat upright with an arm around you. You were curled up into his side wrapped in a blanket, what of your face was exposed was pressed against Bolin’s side. "She’s...i don’t understand". "When you fell asleep Bolin tried with her, he convinced her to come and eat, Korra healed her injuries while bolin sat with her and then she fell asleep next to him on the sofa". Tenzin felt a stir of anger and Pema rolled her eyes "don’t you dare get angry! You didn’t see all that boy did, y/n was in shock and he was so kind and patient, she talked, he got her to talk! And to eat and even sleep! She’s woken up a few times scared and whimpering and Bolin wakes up too and calms her back down. If you can’t see how good that boy is to our daughter and how much he loves her then you’re an idiot Tenzin". Tenzin gaped, Pema never spoke that strongly to anyone and never him but his wife was dead serious. “I...I just don’t understand, why him? Why does she feel safer with him than us?”. Pema frowned “because he doesn’t see her like we do, like you do...”. “What do you mean like I do?” Tenzin asked and Pema sighed. “When y/n was born I saw how much attention you paid to her, how you watched her every move right up until the time she first started air bending, I’ve never seen you happier than the day she started airbending and I get it, on that day you were no longer the last airbender anymore, there were two of you but Tenzin she’s your daughter first and sometimes I don’t think that you see it that way, she’s your future, your whole next generation of airbenders”. “Now hold on...” Tenzin started but Pema carried on “I know you love her but I saw your face when Mako said her bending had been taken away”. Tenzin went quiet feeling guilty and Pema frowned. “But Bolin...I didn’t mean to overhear but her first words Tenzin were “”my bending””. After all the trauma, the physical and mental pain she suffered her main shame was losing her bending. She was ashamed of herself but do you know what Bolin said to her? Without missing a beat he told her she was more than her bending, her bending didn’t define her, she was amazing with it and she’ll be amazing without it, I don’t think either of us have ever told her that”. Tenzin frowned looking at you so content with Bolin and nodded “you’re right, I see her as my daughter the airbender...i don’t mean to but it’s hard”. Pema nodded hugging Tenzin’s arm “I know you don’t mean it but y/n notices, she’s had those expectations on her shoulders since the first time she used airbending but Bolin doesn’t see her like that, he doesn’t treat her like an airbender and she noticed that too, that’s why he soothes her, thats why she sneaks out to see him, that’s why she’s do anything for him...he sees her Tenzin”. Tenzin frowned feeling teary and nodded his head “I was wrong about them”.  

The next few days Tenzin was amazed to see how much better you’d become. You were not your old self, you jumped at loud noises, didn’t smile as easily and of course couldn’t airbend but you no longer looked so sad. Sat next to Bolin you physically brightenned and relaxed. Tenzin noticed how attentive Bolin was to you, how concerned he was with your wellbeing and knew he had to apologise to him. He managed to catch Bolin alone and gestured for him to follow him. Bolin did so nervously and Tenzin led him outside. Bolin stood beside him a few feet away as if worried Tenzin would yell at him again. Tenzin wanted to show him this wasn’t one of those talks but didn’t know how so just started talking. “When Y/n was missing I blamed you” Tenzin coughed “I unfairly put all the blame on you and i am sorry, that was not correct, I shouldn’t have said that to you”. Bolin frowned “You don’t have to apologise, I know you were just worried and I mean you were right" Bolin said sadly "she got hurt because of me, that’s why i’ve got to help her recover, it’s all my fault". Tenzin could see the boys eyes were filled with tears and shook his head. "No i wasn’t right at all! She was there for many reasons but I was one of the reasons, she snook away because i banned her from seeing you so she had to be sneaky, not to mention i sent her home alone late at night..." Tenzin sighed "i know you’d have walked her home and would’ve protected her, you’d have never let her get hurt". Bolin seemed shocked but nodded his head adamantly "of course sir". "But that didn’t happen because of me. I was so scared and so fixated on protecting her from irrational things like you and because of that she got hurt". Bolin frowned "it wasn’t your fault either, you didn’t know what would happen". Tenzin nodded but didn’t believe the earth bender "you’ve been a big support to her, the most helpful, you got her to eat and sleep and walk and smile and even laugh" Tenzin sighed "she feels safe with you" Tenzin told Bolin "she trusts you, more than anyone". Bolin blushed and smiled looking back into the house "yeah well...i trust her more than anyone too, she means everything to me sir, honestly". Tenzin nodded his head "i’m starting to see that, i’ve been treating you like the enemy, a threat to my daughter’s safety when you’re my biggest ally there, you only want what’s best for her don’t you". "Of course" Bolin nodded "i lov.." before he trailled off going red "i care about her". Tenzin stared at him before nodding his head "go back inside to her". Bolin looked at Tenzin shocked. He expected this talk to be Tenzin kicking him out of the house but now he was literally inviting him inside. Tenzin repeated himself "go inside, you’ve proven yourself, i shouldn’t have needed you to do it so drastically and i’m sorry for that but i trust you son, i can’t think of anybody better for my little girl and i know i don’t need to threaten you about hurting her because i think you’d beat yourself up more than anyone could if you hurt her". Bolin nodded his head "totally". Tenzin smiled "you have my blessing". Bolin grinned thanking him and went to go back into the house when Tenzin grabbed his arm "but still if you hurt her...the air in your lungs won’t be safe from me, got it?". Tenzin watched to see the boy’s reaction but Bolin only grinned. "Trust me if i hurt her i’ll give you all the air from my lungs voluntarily I promise!". Tenzin frowned thinking the threat didn’t really work if Bolin was okay with it but the boy was already back inside the house

Bolin’s POV

"Y/n you’ll never guess what" Bolin called coming into your room but stopped seeing Ikki and Jinora sat on your bed with you. Bolin had forgotten tonight was the big sister sleepover but smiled to see how well you were getting along with both of your sisters. "Hey, what is it?" You asked getting up and Bolin smiled. "Hi girls, I just got back from a conversation with your dad...". "Ow no, i’m sorry..." you started but he shook his head "no it was okay, great actually". "Should we go?" Jinora asked but Bolin shook his head "no it’s okay, don’t worry i won’t be long" before turning back to you "he gave me his approval y/n". Ikki and Jinora got what Bolin meant before you did and gasped. "He did?" you asked glancing back at your sister’s dramatic reactions and Bolin nodded. "I know i couldn’t believe it either! He actually thinks i’m worthy of you". "Of course you are" you smiled "you’re the best guy i know". "Me too" Jinora added and you smirked at her over your shoulder. "That means a lot thank you" Bolin smiled at you all "but i just can’t believe your father approves of me, this is so great! No more sneaking around or hiding, we can be seen and honest with each other! I don’t have to hide how much i like you". You nodded blushing and Bolin paused. He looked like he wanted to tell you something but looked at Jinora and Ikki and decided not to smiling instead "so i just wanted to tell you that". You smiled "that’s great news i’m really pleased but you know i always approved of you anyway right? I didn’t need my fathers approval to know how great you are". "Of course" Bolin nodded "i just never wanted to come between you and your family, i’d hate to be the thing making you unhappy in any way". "That’s really sweet but you only make me happy" you replied and Bolin’s face lit up. "That’s amazing to hear" he smiled looking at you like you were the best thing in the world. You blushed and Bolin shook himself out of his trance "so i’ll be going, I know it’s the big sister sleepover so i’ll get out of your way, goodnight girls have fun!". "Goodnight Bolin" Ikki and Jinora called and you smiled "night Bolin". He hugged you and you smiled closing your eyes. You seperated and Bolin’s smile mirrored yours "i’ll be right next door if you need anything...anytime". You smiled "thanks but i think we'll be okay". "Okay good" he smiled before closing the door.

Your POV

Bolin’s visit apparently made an impression on your sisters too. "I like Bolin" Ikki told you as you got ready to go to sleep. "Me too" you smiled and Ikki continued "he’s so strong and handsome but also so sweet and kind" she sighed wistfully. "Yeah, how did you get such a great guy to love you?" Jinora asked in typical annoying little sister fashion. You shrugged “honestly I don’t know" you smiled "but i love him too". "Awww" Ikki smiled "you should tell him". "Yeah i think it’s about time i did" you agreed. Ikki’s eyes closed and you drew the quilt around her more. "I didn’t mean what i said you know, i was just teasing" Jinora told you "you’re both amazing". You smiled "thanks". She smiled at you and you closed your eyes. "I heard him telling you how our bending doesn’t define us" Jinora whispered "not even dad told us that y/n, Ikki’s right he’s really special". You smiled thinking back on the memory "he is isn’t he?". Jinora nodded "i’m glad you’ve found someone so lovely, i hope i do". "You will" you smiled tucking her hair behind her ear "i promise". "Thanks y/n" she smiled hugging you and you held your little sister. "Also if you don’t tell Bolin you’re in love with him soon I think Ikki will beat you to it". You chuckled and sighed "don’t worry i’m going to tell him first thing tomorrow".

I wasn’t planning on doing a part two but you guys seemed to like the first one a lot and who doesn’t love more Bolin?

The Lost Boys x Reader Who Has A Pet

Sorry that I haven’t been posting very much. I have two posts that are sitting in my drafts and they’re probably going to take some time to make. One is an ask and the other is an idea I came up with. By the way the anon who gave me a request about a 13/14 year old reader that the boys accidentally turn, I’m sorry that your request is taking so long. If you’re reading this then I will get your request out soon.

David

david doesn’t hate animals. no matter how much they hate him. it really just depends on the animal though. david likes animals mainly for protection. not so much for loveable purposes. that’s kind of the reason why he’s not too fond of marko’s piegons. how are those feather friends going to be able to protect them if hunters come after them. that’s right. they won’t.

you had kept your little secret from david for a while. it was until he offered you to move into the cave with him when you realized you were going to have to tell him about your secret. when you told him about your pet he wasn’t too upset about it. he was more upset about the fact that you didn’t tell him before. depending on what the pet would be, this is how it would go:

if it’s a dog that’s big or a puppy that will eventually become big then david has no problem with it at all. they could use a hound for protection anyway. of course, he wouldn’t change the dog without your permission, but he might have to anyway. since animals can sense a vampire as danger, your dog doesn’t really like david. so if you don’t let him change the puppy into a hellhound then it’ll just hate him. david would probably end up changing the dog anyway, since he doesn’t want a good protector dog to hate him.

if it’s a small dog then it’ll go differently. david doesn’t hate it. he just wishes it was a bit bigger. how is this little thing going to protect you? it’s just there for playing and cuddles. and david plays, but he doesn’t cuddle. (unless the other guys aren’t around). eventually, he’ll warm up to the little guy. especially when he sees that it makes you happy.

cats are a completely different story. david isn’t a cat person. it’s not because the cat can’t protect him. he just doesn’t really like cats. he’s definitely the type of person/vampire that’s never had a cat but says they’re mean little creatures. it’ll definitely be something he’ll have to get used to. the only thing he doesn’t mind about having a cat is there is a possibility the cat could kill some of marko’s pigeons. david won’t tell marko this, but sometimes those birds get on his nerves.

pets that live in a cage (birds, hamsters, rabbits, ferrets, etc.) he really has no problem with. if it’s a hamster or something similar, he’ll occasionally let it out of the cage since it can’t really do much damage. for some reason david likes watching it roam around for a little while before putting it back in its cage. if it’s a bird then david won’t complain, but it’s just another feather creature to add to marko’s collection. same goes with a fish. it can’t get out of the tank and bother him, so he has no problem.

if you have some sort of reptile (snake, lizard, turtle, etc.) it really goes in the same category as a pet in a cage. it can’t get out and mess with his things so he doesn’t mind. if you have a snake then david will be pretty impressed. most people hate snakes yet you have one as a pet! he’d always hold it in his arms while it slithers to feel the scales. your snake will end up being his pet too. he just cant get over how cool it looks, and that you aren’t afraid of it.

Dwayne

dwayne considers himself an animal person. size doesn’t matter to him. big or small they all deserve to be loved. he hates the fact that they can’t really have pets since most animals hate them. he doesn’t remember the last time a dog even got close to him without barking. dwayne is a fan of any animal with fur. he loves to pet them and cuddle them even though he hasn’t gotten that opportunity in decades.

you kept your pet a secret from him mainly because you didn’t know how he was going to react. you’ve never seen him interact with an animal, so you just assumed he didn’t like them. when dwayne found out about your pet he was quick to let you know that he had no problem with animals. then he had to explain the whole animals dont like him story to you. depending on your pet these would be his different reactions:

if it’s a big dog then he has no problem at all. he grew up with a dog so he already knows how to take care of it. since the dog probably won’t like him he’ll want to change it to a hellhound, but if you don’t want to then he’ll just try to win over it’s trust. once dwayne has the dogs trust he’ll treat it as if it was his own dog. he’ll take it on walks at night with you, and totally spoil it with toys. since the dog is big and can protect you it gives him one less thing to worry about. if your dog ever saves you from something, dwayne will treat it like it’s the best dog in the world.

small dogs basically fall in the same category as big dogs to dwayne. they’re just smaller. he likes small dogs because they’re easier to carry and cuddle with. dwayne won’t admit it, but he loves to cuddle with a furry friend. if it falls asleep on his lap or chest he will not move. he will wait for it to wake up. another reason why dwayne likes small dogs is its a good playmate for laddie. the boy is small and so is the dog, so it works out for both of them.

surprisingly, dwayne has no problem with cats. he thinks that the whole dogs are for boys and cats are for girls is bogus. they weren’t made for a specific gender, so who cares what other people think. he’s aware that cats are a bit more difficult to gain trust of unlike dogs, but he’s a pretty patient guy. if the cat doesn’t like him at first, then he’ll wait for the right time. dwayne admires how close you are to your cat. one time he saw you and your cat asleep together while cuddling, and he couldn’t think of a more adorable sight.

if it’s an animal that lives in a cage (birds, hamsters, rabbits, ferrets, etc.) he’s pretty interested about it. dwayne has never had an animal like that other than marko’s piegons, but even then he doesn’t really know how to take care of them. he’s eager to learn though. if it’s a bird then he’ll try to gain its trust. he’s always wanted to hold a bird on his finger. if it’s a fish then he’ll buy food for it, but he’ll be a little disappointed since he can’t really hold it.

pet reptiles (snakes, lizards, turtles, etc.) are on a different road for him. he’s not afraid of them, but he’s just more on the cautious side. the last thing dwayne would want is for your snake to bite you or hurt you in some way. even though the snake isn’t venomous, that still doesn’t stop his worrying. he also doesn’t want the snake to scare laddie. he’d feel terrible if the snake got loose and scared the poor kid. other than that lizards and turtles are fine.

Paul

paul likes animals, but he also likes to bug them. so when he was human, animals didn’t really like him, and obviously they hate him as a vampire. after a while he missed the affection that he received from animals even if they didn’t like him. at least they went near him. now they don’t at all.

when you told paul that you had a pet he was pretty eager to meet it. he also wondered why you kept it a secret in the first place. you told him it was because you didn’t know if he liked animals or not. he explained to you that he did like animals, and that he wanted to meet yours as soon as possible. paul does have a preference towards animals, so this is how it’d go depending on what pet you have:

if it’s a big dog or a puppy that’ll become a big dog, paul will want to gain its trust as soon as possible. he doesn’t want the dog that you love so much to want to tear him apart. he’ll start by giving it loads of treats and bones from people they kill. you’ll have to tell him to take it down a notch because you don’t want your dog to gain a lot of weight. paul would want to change your dog into a hellhound mainly because no matter how much he tries the dog still doesn’t like him and he’s getting impatient. if you let him then he’ll turn your dog right away, and they’ll become best friends.

small dogs are a little bit different for paul. they’re so little and all he wants to do is get on it’s nerves. after bugging your small dog he starts to realize that the dog has more reasons to hate him now. he won’t ask to change it into a hellhound because a small dog won’t really be much protection. so the only way to win over the dogs trust is for paul to use some mind tricks, and that’s exactly what he does. paul does learn the hard way that you can’t be too rough with a smaller dog. he gets a little disappointed when he can’t play fight with it.

if you have a cat then paul will actually want to get to know it. he’s never had a cat and he wants to know why everyone says they’re annoying. when he finds out that cats aren’t annoying and they’re just moody he’s kind of relieved. at least he knows that the cat isn’t staying away from him because he’s a vampire. paul had to be patient with the cat and that’s one thing he’s not. if that cat doesn’t start liking him after some time he’ll get disappointed and give up. you’ll have to help him get on your cats good side.

if it’s an animal that lives in a cage (birds, hamsters, rabbits, ferrets, etc.) with paul half the time it won’t be in the cage. he can’t help but want to take it out of its cage and let it walk around. if it’s a bird he can’t exactly do that unless it’s wings are cut. he can’t exactly play fight with any of these pets, so he’ll just help you take care of them. if you have a ferret then paul will sneak it into star and laddie’s room to scare them. after a while it won’t work because they realize it’s just a ferret and not a rat.

if you have a reptile (snakes, lizards, turtles, etc.) he’ll be pretty surprised and a little nervous. paul won’t admit it but the thought of living with a pet snake isn’t something he wants to do. of course he won’t tell you that because he doesn’t want to seem like a chicken. if you have a lizard or a turtle he doesn’t mind, but a snake...yeah he’s not a fan. he doesn’t understand how you can just live with something that could kill you. even if the snake has no venom that doesn’t stop paul from staying away from it.

Marko

marko has made it pretty clear that he has no problem with animals. he’s already befriended all of the pigeons that live in the cave. no matter how much david and the other boys complain about the bird poop everywhere, marko still somehow has them. he even has names for all of them and he can tell them apart. they’re now his family and he will be upset if one of them goes missing or dies.

when you tell marko that you have a pet he’s really excited to meet it. marko pretty much likes all animals, so he doesn’t really care if your pet is cute or not. all pets deserve love. marko has introduced you to his pets, so now it’s his turn to meet yours. depending on the pet this is how it’d go:

if you have a big dog then marko will treat it as if it was his own. the only dog he could really get to know is thorn, and even max’s dog doesn’t like him too much. even if the dog doesn’t like him sooner or later it will. marko has a way with animals. even though he’s a vampire he somehow gets any animal to like him. it could be mind tricks, or it’s just a gift he has. to your surprise your dog didn’t just like marko, it loved him. it was like it happened overnight. all of a sudden your dog was following marko everywhere, and laying its head in marko’s lap when he was sitting on the couch.

small dogs in marko’s eyes are no different from big dogs. except they’re smaller and easier to hold. he knows that he can’t be too rough with a small dog, so he’ll start by trying to hold it and if that doesn’t work then he’ll give it some treats. of course, the dog usually accepts marko’s trust pretty easily since every animal loves him. marko is pretty good at knowing whether your dog is sick or needs something. somehow marko just knows the look on the animals face when it needs to be taken care of.

you have a cat? well, now you might not. when you first told marko that you had a cat he was excited at first, but then he realized something. he has birds, and you have a cat. marko likes your cat, but it cannot visit the cave. he will not risk the idea of the cat eating one of his pigeons. if you do move into the cave along with the cat, things will be a bit hectic. marko will be constantly checking his piegons to see if one is missing, and if one is then he’s going straight to your cat to see if it’s eaten one. if your cat did eat one of his piegons then say adios to your cat. marko will not let it live there.

if you have a pet that lives in a cage (birds, hamsters, rabbits, ferrets, etc.) marko is eager to learn how to take care of it. if it’s a bird then he obviously already knows exactly how to take care of it. he’ll attempt to have your bird get to know his piegons, but they probably won’t like each other since they’re different birds. if you have a hamster or rabbit then marko will never let it out of the cage. the last thing he would want is for you to loose your pet in the cave, and most likely never see it again.

if you have a reptile (snakes, lizards, turtles, etc.) for a pet then marko would be super surprised. especially if it’s a snake. he’s not afraid of it. he’s just surprised that you aren’t. marko would hold it in his arms and scare star and laddie with it. if he manages to scare one of the guys then he’ll tease them about it until they die. a lizard pretty much goes the same way. marko loves to hold it and feel the roughness of its skin. he can’t exactly scare anyone with the turtle, so he’ll just help you take care of it.

//i’m gonna post some kaislynn/molly headcanons bc it’s my blog and no one can stop me

he’s probably what convinces her to leave trostenwald (not bc INSTANT CRUSH, more like actually talking her into getting out of comfort zone)

gets her out of her shell in general, tries to get her into shenanigans (and probably succeeds) and to open up to casual friendly physical affection (which would be VERY slow going)

they bond over being weird despite having totally opposite temperaments/being an introvert & extrovert to extremes, trusts him more than most of the group early on since he seems to have the least amount of ulterior motives (other than jester and yasha probably). might teach him (and yasha!) about plants & flowers since she’d be the ONLY PERSON IN THE PARTY WITH ANY NATURE PROFICIENCY, and would let him play with Juno in ferret form when he needs something to do

molly probably knows she has a crush once it sets in tbh, she’s not good at subtlety or even lying lmao. might even catch her doodling him in her sketchbook. is both a teasing bastard but also kind about it at the same time.

she doesnt have a card before he gets lorenzo’d, but his nickname for her is ‘sunflower’ (i stole that from either a reader insert fic on ao3 or a thing on tumblr?? i forget but i LOVE it)

doesnt trust cree IMMEDIATELY because of the blood magic more than anything, but also seeing something making molly visibly uncomfortable is so out there that it’s a red flag

in werebear au, she first transforms in front of the nein when lorenzo was about the kill him; i’m thinking her silver cuff bracelet is how she keeps herself in control most of the time, and she just casually takes it off and bears out when she sees molly about to die (and by casually i mean consumed by RAGE)

i think werebear works well for a molly lives au, cause a huge ass werebear charging at you might’ve been enough to get lorenzo to at least get away from molly long enough for her to heal him and scold the shit outta him (while still transformed, bc it would be funny)

in canon au, some weird feywild-y shit happens after he dies akin to yasha’s wing bustin’ out. maybe weird eye shit or shadows bleeding off her body as she’s grieving, idk! think dark fey-type stuff

would probably want to take his coat with them, but unless they actually were a thing beforehand she would let the rest of the nein decide what to do with his things. i cant remember if he had anything moonweaver-related, but she’d probably take that as her memento. would probably ask jester if she could help collaborate on his deck sometimes

she probably gets really clingy to caduceus (as much as he’d be comfortable with at least), as he’s just such a soothing presence to everyone while they’re grieving, and they can also bond over nature & the wildmother. eventually might worry that she’s using him as a replacement for molly and back off for a while til they talk about it. either way they probably end up as besties/platonic somethings in both molly aus

after finding molly’s empty grave, she’d be keeping his coat for the time being. it’s a blanket now.

oh god she would have such i-hate-him-but-he’s-hot feelings about lucien you don’t wanna know; if he caught on to her feelings for the ‘sliver’ and teased her about it she would probably actually punch his stupid face. like i said she’s not good at subtlety

at molly’s second ressurection? she’s crying, can’t even look at his fucked up body until the group’s started the ritual. i have no idea if her help would’ve made a difference in the first try, druid magic and all that, but either way she’d be making him promise to thank the Wildmother later

he notices her last, as her legs are too weak to get up while she’s watching him go through the nein and remembering his deck. as soon as he’s said the word ‘sunflower’, since no card, she’s running at him and practically knocking his ass over with the force of the hug. big passionate smooch if they were together, but definitely getting tears all over him. probably the only time she doesn’t get all flustered around a naked person

she’s watching him like a hawk once they’re back at the grove, mostly because she’s just so happy and relieved that he’s okay. she skips out on the team meeting to keep an eye on him, and is still out there when he curls up and falls asleep.

does not let jester do greater restoration if she can help it; they have NO idea how this process works, and messing with it could be a bad idea! no touch!!

if her and molly actually end up together, they end up moving (semi-permanently bc molly can’t possibly stay in one place) to nicodranas, bc you know the beach life eventually grew on kaislynn, but she also tree walks to the blooming grove regularly

if kingsley.... wellp she’s gonna be real sad about it but she also wants him to be happy, so she’s just gonna keep her memories close and try to become a better liar
