#first of all she's cute and extremely lovable

[ashdreams2023]

Hi! Am new here, when you have the time, can you write lucius malfoy x crybaby housewife, like shes very sensitive and overthinks about making him upset but in reality lucius finds her little actions and mannurisms cute and lovable? (Ik its very specific and i have horrible grammar)

Been a hot minute since I wrote for hp thanks for the ask!

Lucius Malfoy x crybaby housewife (sensitive)

First off this marriage was arranged so you got that going on

He can tell immediately that you feel extremely nervous and just want to make everybody proud and don’t want to upset him

He finds in endearing

"Beautiful beautiful girl relax, it’s only a few days in France, I will be back in one piece"

You worry too much it makes him worried

Sends you lots of gifts, like what’s your favorite Candy that makes your face eyes light up with excitement?

You will find boxes delivered to the house till you’re sick of it

Doesn’t like to see your tears but understands how overwhelming it may be to try to contain all your emotions

Tries to never raise his voice at you even if he’s not in the brightest of moods

Your little acts of kindness to him do leave him breathless at times though

"What do you mean you fed the peacocks and picked all the fallen feathers to make pillows?!"

"I knew you’ll hate I’m so sorry-" "No! I love it!"

He really likes to spoil you, so expect things like taking a day or two off from work to just spend extra time with when he notices you’ve been a little gloomy all alone at home

Goodness even the house elves have to make sure you don’t overwhelm yourself when something doesn’t go as planned

If you remember the small things about him, the things no one really pays attention too, then he’s all yours and no one can say otherwise

Makes sure to spend birthdays together, no matter how busy he is

"You don’t have to do this, what about work and-" "stop hurting your pretty little head with such nonsense"

Actually tries to be decent to the house elves just because they seem to be the only company you have

One time you tried to surprise him at work and he just couldn’t let you leave because in his own words "you came all this way to surprise and you expect me to let you go away this easily my dear?"

The way you smile when he comes back to the mansion, it just lights up his entire day, no matter how shitty is was

Absolutely adores your antics and takes pride in seeing you being the center of attention

"Am i making a good impression?"

"You’re perfection it self"

Vegimal headcanons and my life is yours!/j/nf

( @urautismdiagnosis-wistie @animalsalvationassociation @oatzimir @hers-underwraps @mildy-vibing figured you all might be interested in this one )

Well, I've not very many headcanons for them off the top of my head, buuuttt . . .

Well, I've said it a million times, probably, but they're sirens in my au. I don't know how to link posts, but my big long rant about their biology should be on my "top posts" list 😉

But as for personality headcanons and such, I'd love to do a big post about it one day but I never know when I'll get to it 😮‍💨 so I'll give you a little of my thoughts here :]

Tunip (+ Sharchini) :

He's the ringleader/queen-bee of the veggies, and as such he's usually the smartest, for lack of a kinder way to put it (they're all kinda silly though, but compared to the others he's the brightest yk?). As the little leader, he works pretty hard to keep his fellow veggies safe and happy and at harmony (partly because he's biologically programmed to), but much like the Captain, he works too hard sometimes and has to be reminded to take a rest. Because of their hive mind, the other veggies, after too long of Tunip suffering, can feel his suffering as well (example: if Tunip is starving for too long, they'll all become malnourished).

(That one wasn't exactly personality based lol whoops, but ---)

Tunip, like I said, works himself to the bone, and when he's too stressed out or overstimulated or whatever is bothering him atm, he'll finally crack and his only comfort is cuddles with his Baba (Shellington) 🥺 sadly, Tunip learned this unhealthy habit from the two leader figures in his life: Barnacles and Shellington, who had the most influence on him growing up.

On a lighter note!! My Sharchini and Tunip are identical twins!! ☺️ (I'm a twin, so I gotta have my twin representation, y'all) ---- biologically, that just means they were born from the same egg that split in two. Sharchini, therefore, is extremely attached to Tunip, although because of their contrasting personalities, Tunip gets rather annoyed by Sharchini's clinginess.

--- Sharchini is . . . an odd baby, but a lovable one, of course. For whatever reason (I said so), he's more snippy than the other veggies. He's more prone to anger (anger-issues rep, hey, wistie look) and "freak outs," as the crew calls them (when the veggie-sirens act more feral due to excessive stress, threat, or exposure to their natural habitat for too long). He also bites excessively, but for sirens, that's a show of affection, a soft nibble or pinch, but with how much the little baby has, he forgets not to bite down so hard. Shellington's arms are covered in bite marks, mostly from little Sharchini's love for his Baba ☺️💚

Also, Tunip very clearly adores Veggie-Bot, and Sharchini is absolutely jealous, but Shellington has already gotten onto him once for wrecking Bot so he let's it slide hehe

Codish & Tominnow

My Codish and Tominnow are closer than the other sirens (because it seems to me that I've seen them interact more frequently in the show than the others lol). Codish is very much Tominnow's big brother, more-so than the others are to her.

Codish is also close with Calico Jack as they both have "calico" patterned skin! I just thought they'd both look at each and go, "Aren't ye a cute lad?" "Chrrgeed. (Agreed.)" --- this one is mostly just for silly and cute design purposes, lol

Tominnow is also the youngest of the main five vegimals, but in MY AU, she is not the youngest out of ALL the vegimals (as going by the wiki, there are 16 vegimals, and I headcanon that Tominnow is the youngest of the "First Batch" of hatched eggs, but older than the second batch (lovingly called "The Littles"), so not the youngest overall).

Grouber & Barrot

I also headcanon that these two are closer, and Barrot will sneak Grouber snacks knowing fully that Gouber is on a diet and shouldn't be having so many snacks! But Barrot doesn't listen to Baba, so Shellington is running out of options to get them to stop 😔.

I wish I had more thoughts on them, but I literally can't think of anything for anyone else aside from Tunip and Sharchini 😭 very sorry for that 😖

I really need to draw them all at some point, I never finished my first attempts from months ago 🥲

~~~ But I hope you and everyone who read this enjoyed it! 💚

"The Pandora Principle" review

Novel from 1990, by Carolyn Clowes. A rare Saavik-centric story, set a little before The Wrath of Khan, and involving the latest Romulan plot to destroy the Federation. The tension keeps mounting up, and the last chapters are so frantic that it’s hard to put the book aside. Even if some of the hazards are caused by the characters being unreasonable stupid (like keeping a Romulan scout in the Enterprise’s tractor beam; at this point they should know already what Romulans tend to do when caught…). However, despite being an action-heavy story, it is above all an exploration of Saavik, her traumatic past, and her moving (and complicated) mentor-pupil relationship with Spock. Pretty brutal at times, introspective at others, this can be counted among the better TOS novels.

Saavik is the true protagonist here, and the most fleshed out character. The author follows other works in presenting Saavik as half Romulan, half Vulcan (a behind-the-scenes bit of info that never made it to the films). And it seems the author had Robin Curtis’ Saavik in mind while writing the character, as her more stoic performance fits much better the backstory presented here (I simply can’t imagine Kirstie Alley’s Saavik as a feral child killing Romulans with a knife). Spock also plays a big role, but even though his mentorship of Saavik is well developed, I found him a bit unlikable, especially towards the end. This is more the Spock from "The Galileo Seven", than the warmer character from the movies. Funnily enough, it’s not the first time that Spock has to be a father figure for a wild child in these novels… Kirk, on the other hand, has a minimal part and is absent from most of the action. I don’t think the author captured the main characters exactly right, as Kirk’s portrayal suffers from similar problems as Spock’s. And the same can be said for McCoy, who also has a very small role, despite making a crucial discovery at the very end. It seems as if Spock and the doctor genuinely disliked each other, with no real affection and respect underneath. However, these weaknesses in characterization can be forgiven, given the novel’s other strengths. There is a bunch of new characters introduced in the early chapters, though ultimately they’re not that relevant. With the exception of a cute, little alien called Obo, who ends up saving the ship (and is really lovable on top of that).

Some spoilers under the cut:

Six years ago, Spock was part of a secret Vulcan expedition to the planet Hellguard, across the borders of the Romulan Empire. The site of a previous Romulan mining colony, Hellguard is extremely inhospitable. But the expeditioners suspect that several Vulcan crews, vanished during the last decades, were hold hostage in the colony. They find none of the adults, but several children that the Vulcan prisoners had with their Romulan captors. One of these children, Saavik, saves Spock from the vicious attack of another boy. She’s poorly nourished and almost as savage as an animal, but Spock decides to take her under his wing, and supervise her education.

Years pass, and thanks to Spock’s infinite patience and Saavik’s determination, the young woman has become a proper Vulcan. Well, almost. Saavik has never stopped feeling different, and is still plagued by nightmares about Hellguard, and some underground corridor where a faceless danger pursues her. Nonetheless, Saavik has become a successful student at Starfleet Academy, and prepares to visit Spock at his ship. The Enterprise has just returned to Earth, with a captured Romulan vessel that they found adrift with everyone dead aboard. Starfleet is mostly interested in the new cloaking device installed in the vessel. But they also find some strange, luminous artifacts aboard. Spock takes one of these artifacts to a laboratory at Starfleet Command for study. And here comes stupid decision number 1: a guy working at the starbase requests permission to send one of the artifacts to his mom, who works at a museum… and his request is granted. That is, they let a civilian take one of these Romulan things, that not even Spock is sure about (more on this later).

Meanwhile, Kirk seems to believe that if he sends immediately his mission report from Starfleet HQ, avoiding a face-to-face meeting with Admiral Nogura, he could delay his desk appointment and just fly away with the Enterprise again. Yeah, not sure it works like that… This may count as stupid decision number 2. While Kirk is at the basement of HQ sending his report, the Romulan artifact breaks at the lab a few floors above (perhaps because the scientists studying it are more interested in flirting like teenagers, rather than paying attention). The artifact releases a cloud of “something”, and in a split second, every single person at Starfleet HQ is gruesomely dead! Fortunately for Kirk, the basement he’s working from is completely isolated from the rest of the building. But he can’t come out now, so for once he has to sit back and watch in frustration how others solve the problem. Early investigations determine that the Romulan artifact released a virus which eats up all oxygen in the air at once, and keeps reproducing as long as it finds oxygen. The Romulans obviously set these artifacts as a trap for the Federation, with the cloaking device being just the bait. As for the artifact sent to the museum, it breaks too, killing all the population in the city (though the city was inside a dome, so the infection is contained there too).

In the Enterprise, the sight of the artifact jogs Saavik’s memories, and she assures Spock that she has seen these things before in Hellguard. And there was an entire arsenal of them. Spock will have to trust Saavik’s recollections, and rely on her knowledge of the underground tunnels of Hellguard, to destroy this menace. So the Enterprise (with Spock as captain) begins a dangerous journey toward the Romulan Empire. The later chapters, where Saavik returns to those tunnels to face the ghosts from her past, are a mixture of reality and her own nightmarish perceptions. It’s one of the most interesting parts, and little by little it reveals everything that happened there. Add to this a planet which is about to explode in volcanic activity, some Romulan attacks, and an auto-destruct sequence, and there’s enough excitement to finish the book in one sitting.

Spirk Meter: 2/10*. A couple of minor examples. During a mind-meld with Spock, Saavik perceives the people in Spock's life as ones who "came and went, adding equations in their passing" and then one that "never left, that one who scrambled Spock's equations on purpose, laughing, illuminating." (presumably referring to Kirk). It's also said that Spock's struggles to express emotion never failed to touch Kirk and delight him. (Thanks to @tigerexe and @schn-tgai-saavik for pointing out the examples).

There's also a moment where McCoy encourages Spock, telling him to "just be himself" to solve a conflict, and a note of affection is said to creep into his voice. But as mentioned above, they're rather hostile in this novel.

My Top 12 Favorite Anime of 2023 (and more)!

This was a great year for anime, so here's a long list of my top 12 (including some bonus great anime). If you get tired of clicking the review links, check out my anime overview collection for all of them here.  You can also check out my list of favorite manga here!

Some of these are ongoing, so consider those only a review of the first cour-- no official endorsement on the rest because it hasn't aired yet!

Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury (Season 2)

When I listed G-Witch in last year's top anime list, I prayed the show wouldn't betray me. Fortunately, it didn't! Though the final half of the show was a bit rushed, it remained must-see, compelling sci-fi full of exciting twists and turns. And I adore the well developed romance between the robot-piloting protagonist and precious girl, Suletta, and her fierce fiancé, Miorine.  Whether you’re here for starcrossed queer lovers, robots wrecking each other, tense battles between opposing political factions, or morally-horrifying moms on a revenge spree, you’re in for a treat.

See my full review here.

Yuri is my Job!

Hime is roped into working at a cafe where the waitresses playact as students of the fictional all girl’s school from a beloved novel series. However, Hime finds her co-worker, Mitsuki, has an inexplicable grudge against her. Thus begins a tangled web of romance and wounded feelings among the girls in the cafe! Yuri is My Job seems like a fun comedy boasting a cast full of quirky lesbians, but then reveals itself to be a complicated and fascinating examination of performance- as it intersects with queerness, girlhood,  and the desire to be “likeable” and “cute". It's top-tier lesbian drama full of fraught relationships and it's absolutely worth a watch.

See my full review here.

The Apothecary Diaries (still ongoing, review is for the first cour)

Though it's still going, I have to sing the praises of this dazzling anime about a saavy apothecary who uses her medical expertise to solve the many murders and betrayals in the Emperor's palace. MaoMao is a fantastic lead, a poison-obsessed gremlin who's whip-smart, deadpan, and fun to follow. The Apothecary Diaries has intrigue, well-developed characters, and an impeccable atmosphere. It tells a great range of stories, from romantic triumph, to bittersweet tales of recovering from grief, to pure tragedies. I'm totally hooked.

See my full review here.

The Magical Revolution of the Reincarnated Princess and the Genius Young Lady

When Euphie is dumped by her fiance at a ball, the oddball princess Anis rescues her.  Euphie becomes Anis' assistant in her quest to develop magical tools. The girls also start to develop feelings for each other, while discovering a conspiracy among the nobility. I'm always desperately in need of cool lesbians having action-packed fantasy adventures, and Magirevo delivers. The characters grow in entertaining ways, we get to see them fight dragons in killer action scenes, and the romantic development is completely satisfying. It's a simple story at its core, but the lovable characters, joyous queerness and jubilant execution make it a great watch.

See my full review here.

Birdie Wing: Golf Girls' Story (Season 2)

In the second season of the anime about girls homoerotically golfing while dealing with the mafia and ludicrous family drama, Birdie Wing remains a bombastically absurd sports anime that is fun all the way through. Please come watch these girls get ridiculous sports  injuries, scream their super golf attacks, experience extremely extra plot twists--and be super gay with each other, of course. The finale didn't go quite as hard as I wanted (and the romance is more subtexual than I wanted), but you need to allow yourself to experience the madness of Birdie Wing.

See full review here.

Skip and Loafer

An endearingly dorky, earnest, and driven girl moves from her small town to Tokyo. While she struggles to adjust, she befriends a nice popular boy who's got some baggage. Skip and Loafer is a show that’s like a warm hug. It's sweet, entertaining and funny. It handles adolescent struggles with tender nuance. There's a emphasis on kindness, connection, and looking past stereotypes and misconceptions. It also includes a trans character who's treated with respect (and is a great character in general!) Let this show touch your heart.

See my full review here.

Undead Murder Farce

An immortal woman has had most of her body stolen by a mysterious man. Reduced to a head carried around by her maid, she teams up with a half-demon man to track the thief down while solving supernatural mysteries all across Victorian England.

This a fun, campy mystery series starring three asshole weirdo protagonists,  it’s bursting with supernatural creatures and literary references. We've got Sherlock Holmes, The Phantom of the Opera, Carmilla and more...along with a vampire murders and werewolf drama galore. UDM is a wonderful romp with stylish, slick direction... and it’s unexpectedly really gay.  I’m aching to see more of these scrappy misfits and their adventures.

See my full review here.

Migi & Dali

A story of twins who are pretending to be one kid in order to fool their foster parents and find out who killed their mother. It starts out as an utterly absurd comedy becomes a impressive and genuinely tense murder mystery that is incredibly moving at times, all while keeping up it’s signature brand of goofiness. There’s genuine commentary on abuse, the damage you can do to children by forcing perfection on them, the struggle of being a foster kid, grief and recovery and more. There's also some great character development. It's a weird one, but it's absolutely worth sticking with.

See full review here.

Pluto

Somebody is killing the most advanced robots in the  world and murdering humans alongside them. A robot detective is trying to track this killer down, but he might be compromised as well. Pluto is a tense, tense, tightly plotted robot murder mystery that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Through robots, it explores the idea of being a tool in a corrupt system, and tackles subjects like war, imperialism, and the nature of hatred. It's a masterful psychological thriller with stunning animation and a rich story.

See my full review here.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

This anime approaches the story of Scott Pilgrim and Ramona's seven evil exes from a brands new angle, and the results are great. We get a exploration of relationships and regrets, the messiness of communication and connection, the trials of becoming an adult, all with the signature goofy video game antics. Characters neglected in previous iterations finally get their due, new facets of the story are explored, queer relationships are delved into more, girls kiss...and it's all accompanied by phenomenal animation and a killer soundtrack.

See my full review here

Soaring Sky! Precure

Sora lives in a world called Skyland and wants to be a great hero. When rescuing the kidnapped baby princess, she falls through a portal to earth. There she meets her fellow magical warriors, and as Precure they protect the princess from the villains!

This vibrant, warm-hearted adventure got me back on the Precure train! This series boasts a lot exciting firsts for the franchise--the first official male cure, the first main cure that's eighteen years old- but above all, it has a lively team of characters with who have an entertaining dynamic and enjoyable individual journeys. It's often very funny, the baby has a surprisingly good character arc, and it's bursting with magical girl (and boy) goodness! It's also not afraid to give you an emotional gutpunch when you've been lured into a false sense of security by all the fun times. If you're new to Precure, this is a great jumping on point, and if you've watched it before, this is a series you won't want to miss.

I'm in Love with the Villainess

Rae is reincarnated as the heroine of her favorite dating sim. But she has no interest in romancing any of the boys- she’s head over heels for Claire Francois, the snooty villainess.

Villainess may not be as polished--storywise or animation-wise-- as these other entries. It's a messy series, it has plenty of problems...but it's also very fun, and it touched my queer little heart like no other. Queer people get to indulge in our imperfect faves too, and the silly shenanigans, blatant lesbian wish fulfillment, honest advocacy for queer people, and the joy and earnestness of the series works for me!

See my full review here.

Some Other Great Anime:

Frieren: Beyond Journey's End (still ongoing, review is for the first cour)

Frieren is a long-lived elf who was once part of an adventuring party that saved the world from the Demon Lord. But now her friends are passing away and the world is moving on. She decides to retrace her old party's journey so she can understand what she's feeling.

Frieren is both an interesting examination of what happens after the hero saves the world, as well as a meditation on mortality, grief,  and the endless march of time. It takes you on a quiet, beautiful and sometimes touching journey though a pastoral fantasy world. There's some breath-taking animation and excellent atmosphere to enjoy.

See my review here.

Spy x Family (Season 3)

Spy x Family is pretty much staying the course from when we last checked in,  though this season gives a lot more attention to Yor, and I love the cruise ship arc and all the ridiculous fights she gets into a lot! That arc contains some of my favorite gags of the series too (like Loid’s  attempts to be a cool dad). Otherwise, Spyfam has settled into a series that intends to be around for the long haul, so don’t expect too much forward plot momentum. And Yuri (the man, not the genre) unfortunately still exists. Overall it was good season and remains a fun  adaptation. Yor, please step on me.

watching the gang tries desperately to win an award and i feel so incredibly dense that i didn't realize this was about sunny never winning anything the first couple of times i watched it

it's pretty clear that the bars represent different tv shows that were popular in 2013- i'm assuming suds was an amalgamation of network comedies like the big bang theory (drink when the bell rings=laugh track) and the office (the friends to lovers of the bartenders who also are dressed similar to pam and jim. plus the "she doesn't need to be funny... because she's cute, she's lovable." (12:18) and that whole exchange could be a reference to jenna fischer/pam. plus oscar nunez guest starred in that scene lol).

the burlesque bar that frank and artemis go to is a reference to hbo-type dramas i assume? maybe like mad men (period drama mention) or sex and the city? and 'black bars don't win awards' was in reference to the wire i think someone said on reddit. charlie's song could have been in reference to glee (only musical-based tv show of that era i can think of).

anyway the episode ends with them spitting on everyone to drive them away and the gang finally realizing that they are the reason they have never won an award. i wonder where rcg/kd stand on this now- i personally feel like the reason they've never won anything (in my extremely unprofessional opinion, to be clear) is a combination of sunny's very specific type of humor (more than just the gross-out stuff, after all south park won an emmy) and the questionable things they have done in the name of said humor. even though it's the 'horrible people; do not attempt' comedy, they definitely crossed lines that (in my opinion) should not have been crossed by them. like six episodes later in the same season (made in 2013) they did "the gang makes lethal weapon six".

anyway, i love episodes that are meta like this. i think it's a very creative way to explore that topic. i don't know how many seasons rcg have left in them but it'll be interesting to see if they ever get nominated! anything is possible :P comment w your thoughts! just thinking out loud lol this is very incoherent

[mckenzie-thesims4]

Elle Bolton is a lovable sim from Sulani! She's extremely sporty and loves to surf, swim, and sail (pretty much anything thing to do with the ocean she loves). Everyone on the island of Sulani absolutely ADORES her, she's a sweet girl who helps around the island so how could you not?!? Well... I guess not totally sweet. Elle loves to go to clubs off the island and flirt with girls, woohoo with them, and then just dump them like they're trash... will she commit to a girl someday? Depends on you.

Patreon for Elle: https://www.patreon.com/posts/elle-bolton-124750908?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

Hiiii guys! Meet my first shared sim Elle Bolton! Ah I'm so excited about her and I actually really love the story that I came up for her. I like that she looks like a sweet and beachy girl, but is actually just kind of a bad person. I also just really love her cute dimples, like I would who heartedly let this woman manipulate me.

Also I'm sorry all the CC is just together :( I saved the zip from Sims 4 Tray Importer and it won't let me edit it ;-; You will need all the CC to make Elle look how she looks though, so I guess no harm no foul.

I DO NOT OWN OR MAKE ANY OF THE CC USED FOR ELLE!! I just made her Base and used all the CC from there. Thank you to all the CC creators as Elle would not be possible without you <3 (all the credit goes to them really)! Also PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not use her as a base to make your own sim and take credit for her or reupload her and take credit for her. Thank you! If you use her for any of your gameplay I would love if you could tag me in it!

sorry if you’ve been asked before but: mwpp + lily as birds?

I haven't! Thank you so much!🥰 Always love a chance to yell about birds.

This will be long again 😬

Sirius:

Horrible choice to make. Wanted to make him a bird of prey, because that's kind of what he should be, but I couldn't find a suitable one. So I went with one of my favorites instead. The Raven. Raven are very intelligent birds and also fucking terrifying. Like, if you have seen a crow attacking, a raven is so so much worse. You DO NOT want to mess with a raven. They remember your face. And they are larger than crows. They are also cool and somewhat 'effortlessly elegant' ☺️

James:

Golden Eagle. Majestic mfer and I think all eagles look like they have some sort of ego problem, so that checks out😊

Remus:

The common Greenshank. It is common. It is suitably beige. Legs are too long. Lives in the marshes. Very lovable and cute. Immaculate vibes, if you ask me.

Peter:

The Dartford Warbler. It is tiny and looks cute and innocent on first glance, but THE EYES... That's a bird that would betray his best friend to the dark lord if I've ever seen one.

Lily:

She was actually quite hard because I wanna do her justice! I finally settled on a White Stork. Storks mate for life which I think would suit Lilys commital character. But they are also extremely impressive and cool birds that have a certain elegance to them🥰

Ask me asks to keep me awake

♡ Their Alpha Darling Has Omega Tendencies ♡

You had been really shy in your first few months with Miriel, in general you had been somewhat hesitant about the relationship since she seemed like the kind of omega who needed a real strong alpha sure she had told you from the moment the both of you first met that you were soulmates, perfect for each other in every way possible even if it didn't seem that way to you, and sure she had made it extremely clear that she loved you, would only ever want you as her alpha, and that your timidness hadn't bothered her in the slightest but for the first bit of the relationship it had really felt like you should be trying your hardest to be a more dominant and aggressive alpha for her, so you hid most of your behaviors from her so you could at the very least pretend you were a big scary alpha even when all you really wanted to do was crawl into a nest you made with her and scent each other. The big scary alpha thing really wasn't for you however and you cracked very early into the relationship. It did feel great to be your real self around her however it also led to another concern.

See your Miriel was a very cute, desirable omega, despite her refusing to talk to anyone or outright hating anyone who wasn't you, smelling vaguely of pine trees and the forest and most lovably being very submissive and clingy when it came to you, all traits anyone would desire in their omega, though you did partially suspect she put on a much larger show of fulfilling your orders, the very few times you told her to do something, just to boost your confidence. This mean there was a large amount of humans, primarily alpha humans who were at the very least more of an alpha than you could possibly be, who wanted her very badly and didn't bother to let you know this, thinking if they got you to leave her then maybe they'd be able to step in and replace you.

Constantly making snide remarks the moment your precious omega was out of earshot, which you were somewhat grateful for since your Miri was softer and if she heard their constant criticism of you, she might actually cry or worst start to think their arguments were somewhat logical and rethinking your entire relationship. Talking about how you smelled like you'd been scented by her instead of how it's supposed to be with you scenting her, which was true, most of the time in the nest you took turns with who was doing the majority of the scenting though lately you'd been allowing Miri to just do her thing and heavily scent you. Making bets about how you were probably the one who made the nest in the relationship since you clearly don't know how to take charge of your omega, you did make the nest most of the time sine you knew Miriel had a harder higher up job in the company than you so you just wanted to take on the duty of making the nightly nest so she could get home and relax in it, cuddling with you. One even tried to stick their fingers in your mouth to poke at your fangs talking about how your fangs weren't even sharp enough to mark her but don't worry, when they were her alpha after you got out of the way they'd make sure they marked her properly every night just to make up for your inability to do so.

Despite their hostility though, you still weren't confident enough to retaliate, instead opting to leave it be since most of the time they just gave up after finding their own omega or got fired because as it turns out, they sucked at their job, who would have guessed that the people who spent most of their time at work harassing you for not being alpha enough would suck at their job. There'd been a more persistent pest lately, one who would tell you that you were just holding Miri back from having a real alpha, constantly leaning over her desk trying to start a conversation with her even when she didn't seem to care but today they'd winked at you, taunting you before they asked her if she wanted to go out after wok and you dove on them shocking everyone including yourself since you really really hated fighting, still you couldn't just let them ask your omega out right in front of you, there was no way you were going to accept that.

And so there you sat about an hour later with Miriel holding an ice pack to your bruised eye while the other person had been escorted outside because as her alpha you were considered in the right even though you practically threw yourself at the other girl in a fit of rage.

"Babeeee, why'd you attack them?" You looked away from her nervously, you really didn't like being an aggressive alpha and you honestly just wanted to forget this incident ever occurred.

"She... she asked you out and told me earlier she was gonna snatch you from me." She tilted her head a bit in surprise.

"Aww you should have come to me first, I would have gotten rid of her just like I've fired all the others! Let me handle it babeeeeee, I know you're not good at the alpha stuff."

Eliza was definitely the more dominant alpha in your relationship though that wasn't super hard to achieve considering you had never been the stereotypical alpha to begin with. Your scent had always been fairly weak and you liked to make nests very often, matters certainly didn't improve when Eliza began to scent you very early into your relationship and started to give you items for your nests in front of everyone, it was no wonder people didn't usually know you were an alpha until you outright told them.

You were beginning to suspect your girlfriend also was not actually aware you were an alpha, most of the time when she introduced you to someone it was as her omega, which didn't really bother you when it was people you were never going to have to see again since at the very least people wouldn't bother you about being too soft to be an alpha or make jokes about how any day now you were due to get bitched, you were starting to get just a tad bit frustrated when she'd refer to you as her omega when you meet important people who you might encounter more often, or even worse in front of your friends you'd allowed her to meet she'd call you her omega leading them to assume you had already been bitch, an assumption you couldn't exactly clear up since Eliza was right there still and you felt bad about calling her a liar, thus most people you encountered didn't even know you were still very much an alpha.

"Eliza, why do you always introduce me as your omega?" Her ears perked up, you understood you were a very soft alpha, you were currently sitting in a nest you had made for the both of you to cuddle in afterall, but still that didn't make you any less of an alpha and it was somewhat starting to hurt your feelings that no one ever acknowledged your alphaness anymore, was it so hard to just introduce you as her alpha, you didn't mind all the jokes anymore as long as people finally started to acknowledge you were actually an alpha. "Y-you know I'm an alpha right?"

She tilted her head a bit in confusion and shook her head, placing a very slobbery kiss on your forehead, her arms tightening around you as she snickered a bit. "Silly puppy, you know alphas don't nest, don't you?" You tried to squeeze out her arms, pouting when she refused to let go of you.

"Well y-yeah b-but that doesn't mean I'm not an alpha!" You squeaked out, wanting to disappear, alphas were also not supposed to stutter the way you just did, they were supposed to take charge and assert how much of an alpha they really were. Sure you were soft and had trouble standing up for yourself but you had a rut! Sure when your rut came she'd understand you were an alpha and maybe just maybe she'd let you take charge for once?

"Silly silly puppy, one your heat comes I'll get all those silly silly thoughts out of your head." She kissed your neck, her fangs grazing your neck slightly before pausing. "You're already an omega but don't worry your loyal wolf will help you realize it once your heat comes, then you'll finally get those silly thoughts of being an alpha out of your head."

You wondered how she would react when instead of a heat you got a rut, she clearly did not know you were an alpha, perhaps you shouldn't have brought it up.

You'd been scared of dating since you first developed as an alpha, you had never been the most aggressive or outspoken child, preferring to keep to yourself which meant you certainly wouldn't be compatible with any omegas unless you miraculously found one of the few who happened to be more aggressive and was willing to date a submissive alpha, something you desperately needed in a partner, and alphas likely would insist on changing you into an omega if you were to date them so you mostly kept to yourself until you met Kass.

When you first found out your soulmate was a demon you were sure she would insist on bitching you from the moment you first met but you'd been pleasantly surprised by how gentle and understanding Kassien had been with you, never even broaching the subject with you like most supernaturals did when they found their soulmate was an alpha just like them, especially with how docile you were, most would have suggested it right off the bat saying you seemed like you'd just be so much happier as an omega even though you were perfectly happy just being a softer alpha. Kassien wasn't like that though, she could be a tad bit aggressive and she liked scenting you a whole lot but otherwise she made sure to correct people when they said you were her omega, reminding them you were an alpha which meant a whole lot to you.

Kassien on the other hand was finding it hard to remain patient for as long as she had, she was hoping you would have eventually come to the conclusion that you needed to be bitched on your very own, she didn't want you to feel she was forcing you towards that, afterall what was so bad about it, it wasn't like it would even change anything with the way you went about your day to day business, you already nested, there was currently a nest in her office, and you allowed her to scent you very frequently. You never even stood up for yourself, whenever a conflict would arise you'd hide behind her back and allow her to take care of it, the way a good omega should allow their alpha to take care of them, but you never even once bringing up the subject of bitching was getting on her nerves, it grated her every time she was forced to refer to you as an alpha instead of as her sweet little omega, the way she yearned to refer to you as, the way things were always meant to be.

She really had wanted you to realize this on your own, and come to her, sweetly asking her to help you, but since you hadn't it seems your alpha would have to take the initiative, hopefully you'd just understand this was all for your own good.

"Kass, I brought take out!" You were so sweet, running across the street to get food when you had heard she was going to be working late, though she would have rather you asked her to do that instead, your issue with not asking her for things would be cleared up once she was officially your alpha and you were her omega, once you were you'd finally be at peace and not have to feel like you have to take care of her in return just because it's the alpha thing to do, she did appreciate how once you grabbed your own food you went straight for your nest, really you were built to be an omega, you being an alpha was a cruel joke nature was playing on the both of you, your alpha would soon solve this though.

"Lovely, come sit on my lap?" You were always so quick to listen and come to her when she asked, you were such a good omega, you just didn't know it yet but as your alpha it was her job to set you on the right course, it was stupid of her to wait this long, she should have bitched you when she first found you, no longer would you be stuck as an alpha, the moment she got you home you'd be her cute little omega.

"Sweetness, I'd like to bitch you tonight." You stiffened a bit in her arms, you knew it was too good to be true, of course she was going to want to change your alpha status at some point, you were just wondering why she'd waited so long to bring this up, it did make sense, you already behaved as if you were her omega in every other way, but you were scared, Kassien's fangs were already big and well you could feel how large she was downstairs every time you took a seat on her lap, you were sure bitching was going to hurt alot and if you didn't like being an omega there would be no going back, you'd be stuck like that. You started to shake your head aggressively and she just pet your hair and shushed you.

"Don't be scared lovely, your alpha will be so gentle with you. You'll see tonight." Her grip on you was firm though, trying to make sure you didn't flee from her. You really weren't ready, why couldn't she be just a bit more patient.

You thought angels were supposed to be well smart or like at the very least have an ounce of intellect rattling around in those head of theirs but perhaps you only though that since there were so few of them living in the city, either way Nikki was dumb, especially for an apex alpha. From the moment you had met her you got the general gist she was very unknowledgeable about human society which was understandable, she was new in the city, but her lack of knowledge about secondary genders was an entirely different thing, you'd corrected her and told her you were an alpha a few times on that first day, something she didn't seem to grasp this no matter how often you said it and after she got to know you, she had a million reasons she could rattle off about what you were clearly not an alpha.

"Mate, you have a nest right there, alphas do not have nests, you're not an alpha." This was just outright insulting considering how she was currently resting in the nest you had worked so hard to build, clearly very much enjoying the fruits of your labor despite her demeaning you as she did so. This was also annoying as it was very untrue, nests were just comfy, surely even the most aggressive of alphas did this right? The more you thought about that the more you realized that no, they mostly just ordered their omegas to do so for them.

"Mate, your scent is too weak to be that of an alphas, when I scent you your natural scent completely disappears, your scent fades if you so much as take a nap with you, alphas have a strong scent." Of course your scent was overwhelmed by hers, she smelled kind of stinky, though you did like her overpowering scent in a way, and beyond that lots of alphas had weaker scents and if if she wasn't smelly from the bird thing, she was still an apex alpha, of course her scent would overwhelm any plain old alpha, and beyond that, those naps were very long so again in your defense anyone would smell like her if they had to lay there with her wing over you for seven hours, it was hardly even a nap at this point, just full on sleep.

"Mate, you can't even speak for yourself, you cower behind me and let out little chirps in fear, alphas don't squeak in fear." That was actually a fair point, you never liked standing up for yourself, it felt too mean but Nikki was no pushover so you let her just handle it all for you which was sort of a very omega thing to be doing. Still in your defense, they were scary and why would you deal with the big scary people when you have a much scarier apex alpha at your disposal! Which again was actually a very omega like sentiment to express but you were still an alpha! Just a very soft and omega like one.

The most insulting part of this situation however was how due to her not even believing you were an alpha to being with and just assuming you were already an omega, you couldn't get bitched by her! You wished she'd just been one of those alphas that meets their mate and instantly bitches them because they clearly express so many omega traits so why no just complete the process for them but since Nikki just denied it every time, she wouldn't even realize you needed to be bitched! You felt like you were pulling your hair out in frustration, like what did you have to do to get bitched over here. Maybe you should just try asking but that made you a bit nervous because what if your idiot soulmate still didn't believe you were an alpha and thought there would be no purpose to bitching!

"Nikki, I need you to listen to me." You barged into her office one day, finally fed up with her denying how you were still very much an alpha, if she wanted to insist you were an omega, then she had to do something about it and actually make you into one, it wasn't fair for her to keep insisting you aren't an alpha but not doing anything to make that correct and it was time you were going to demand she do something. "I need you to bitch me. Tonight, you keep saying I'm not an alpha, so actually make me not an alpha, finally please."

"You should have just said something about you still being an alpha, mate."

Nora was severely regretting her decision to pretend she was a beta to get close to you, it was by from the worst decision she could have possibly made and it was quickly becoming harder and harder to keep the facade up any longer. Every time she walked into your apartment, there you were siting in your cute little nest, arms out for her to join you so you could attempt to scent her with your weak scent, she had t fight the urge to jump you and bitch you right there. It would be so easy for her to do so, you barely even smelled like an alpha and with the habits you already had, you would make such a good omega, plus with her being an apex if she went off blockers it would only take a second to do so, but that hadn't seem to be something you actually wanted and so she held herself back, she would refrain from turning you into her omega for the time being so her cover wouldn't be blown. That didn't mean she didn't spend every day constantly thinking about it however.

She was your good beta girlfriend who sat there in your nest and allowed you to attempt to get your scent on her and she always felt somewhat bad about her blockers when she had to take on this role, wouldn't you be more happy if she was scenting you instead? Surely you were only attempting to do this because you thought she had no scent of her own, you wold be just so happy if she scented you, wouldn't you? Still she had to stop herself anytime she went down that train of thought, her canines would be salivating at the thought of sinking them into your neck if she hadn't been shaving them down every few months so she wouldn't do it, that was the pain of being immortal even when she shaved her fangs down they would always try to return to the original size, her body would always try to put itself back in the way it had been when she was made immortal which was most useful for healing wounds, she couldn't have you see those, and it kept her from dying or ending her own life, but it made it frustrating when she was trying desperate to hid her alpha status from you and meant she had to do a lot of upkeep to ensure you would never find out she was one. She could never let you, her precious... alpha, it felt wrong calling you that, know how intense she was.

It was really eating her alive though, you didn't even act like an alpha in the slightest except for your weak attempt to scent her, what would be so wrong about her bitching you, she was just doing you a favor as your perfect girlfriend who knew exactly what you wanted and needed, you might be upset at first but eventually you'd understand this had been in your best interest right? You'd get it someday.

"Nora, can I please leave?" You whined as Nora dumped another set of blankets in front of you, you'd been refusing to nest since she'd revealed she wasn't a beta and had forcefully confined you to her home, under the pretext that you would be happier if she made you into her omega. Since then you had been fighting doing anything omega like even though you were aching to do so especially after she had marked you and you had begun to slowly feel changes occurring in your body from her scenting you every day.

"I can't let my omega and my reason for living go, look I brought you more blankets though! Just sit tight, I promise you'll like this soon." She patted you on the head signaling for you to get to nesting and finally with a reluctant sigh, you gave in.

You had always assumed if you ever got a supernatural soulmate they would likely be an alpha, alpha humans with supernatural soulmates usually got a bigger stronger alpha who would bitch them, and well you were so weak and behaved like an omega to begin with that it was sort of natural for everyone to assume you weren't meant to be an alpha to begin with, so it came as a big surprise when your beta soulmate broke into your house and kidnapped you one day, an even bigger shock that this beta liked nothing more than to bully you about you being so weak, she said she was teasing you out of love and affection and she didn't really mean the things she said but it was starting to feel a bit personal at this point, weren't elves supposed to be nice to their soulmates and think they could do no wrong, beyond that most elves were alphas or omegas, very few were betas, clearly your elf beta soulmate was defective. Did make sense for you to get stuck with someone defective when you yourself were a broken alpha who had a weak scent and always acted like an omega, luckily she couldn't smell you very well or she'd bully you for not even smelling like a proper alpha.

Like today for example, she decided it would be a great idea to force you into your nest, with threats of using a knife on you, and take a bunch of pictures of you in cat ears and various submissive poses, you were just grateful she allowed you to keep your clothes on during these photo shoots of hers, she liked to dress you up often and call you her cute little failure of an alpha, mocking you for not even having the courage to stand up to her that a normal alpha would have which was true, despite your distaste for her, you never once considered standing up for yourself against her, any normal alpha would easily push her over and leave but you had never been a very strong alpha and lately with all her bullying you'd been feeling weaker and weaker, you hoped after your rut you would start feeling normal again but it didn't seem like fate had that in store for you today because you suddenly felt something else start which only made you cry and run into the bathroom to hide. You couldn't let her know, she'd make fun of you for being such a weak alpha you were bitched by a beta and beyond that was there even anything she could do about it? Runa was a beta so it wasn't like she'd be able to complete the bitching process, she had no knot to do it with so you'd be stuck in a weird limbo, not an alpha anymore, but not yet an omega but unlike a beta you still had heats. You were a very very defective alpha, she was right.

"L-love come out, you know I was just joking, I didn't mean it, I love you! L-love it's n-not a funny joke for you to hide yourself away from me, g-get out here right n-now!" You refused to open the door, crawling into the bathtub to be as far away from the door as possible, you knew she couldn't really smell your pheromones but you didn't want even the slightest chance she could catch a whiff an realize you were in heat, it would just make everything a million times worse,, obvious you couldn't just stay in the bathroom forever but you were determined to try and stay for as long as possible.

"Shut up! This is your fault!" You could her Runa let out a small whimper behind the door before she started stabbing at it viciously causing you to scrunch up in fear.

"L-love y-you don't mean t-that, I d-don't know w-what you're talking about b-but it's not my f-fault, you l-love me, and I-I love you!" You closed your eyes as you heard her shove her arm through the door and finally let herself into the bathroom, yanking the shower curtain, your only protection to the side and smiling as you finally looked up at her.

"Awww, my f-failed alpha is having a h-heat, you're such a cute failure." And yet again she was making your humiliation of being a failed alpha so much worse.

HIIII HOPE YOURE WELL!!!! here's for the ask game: ☀️⭐️💛

Someone asked my fav scene first so I’ll answer the other two!

⭐️ - Your first Love Interest/s at the start of your game.

Sydney handsss down. I love their personality and the corruption aspect is 100000% bonus. They’re still my fav now even though I tend to roll around other characters in my head more.

That and my blog is centered pretty hard around Juno, and her read on people is pretty high so she just doesn’t give Sydney the time of day outside of basic friendliness. She’d find them super predictable and that’s like a crime to her.

💛 - Weaknesses and strength your pc has.

I’d say Juno’s biggest weakness overall is definitely her boredom over people. Her awareness is maxed out and it works as like a perception of people over the environment and around her. She has a game of trying to get a read on people to the point that she can predict their actions so that she isn’t too bored committing to her Normal Girl persona. At the same time it means that she gets bored of others extremely quickly once she completes that goal, and it confuses the hell out of the other person when she’s seemingly getting closer to them then all of a sudden goes to acting the way she did when they first met. She literally craves stimulation and something new at all times on like a dopamine addict level. She’ll seek out anything and anyone to ease the boredom of the daily grind.

Her strength is probably in her physical strength lol. She has max physicality, and she’s a pretty nice person if you ignore the fact that she sees people as entertainment and puppets. It stems less from “I care for others” and more from “unjust actions bother me.” Oh, actually another weakness of hers is an inability to let go of a grudge. It’s extremely hard for her to care about someone to go out of her way to fuck up their day regularly, but it’s happened (Whitney). She’s also has a lot of status around school and town since her persona is all about being cute and friendly and lovable. It’s worked out well so why change it? Who cares if people like her in a way closer to a cat than a human. No one’s going around harassing a pet!… Looks at dolsville. Um. Well..

[harzilla]

Since it's just about my birthday(like tomorrow actually), as a present to y'all. I thought I'd share more Lost Sibling AU tidbits. These are just stuff I've been throwing around as ideas(each one is in their own au) I actually have designs for them but I'm a horrendously slow artist. Thankfully there's Picrew for now.

Fiore(Gidel's twin sister) is 10 years old. She's an orphan being raised by her grandmother with ailing health and an Aunt who frequently visits to help. She ends up in Twisted Wonderland by falling down a rabbit hole while chasing a kitten in the rain. She is generally a good natured and kind child who does her best to be independent. Fiore sees Ace and Deuce like older brothers and she gradually has an unofficial "protection squad" Grim and her are officially the shortest students at NRC. A lot of the students who overblotted feel a lot of guilt afterwards when they realize how cruel they were being to a little kid. Her inspiration is Figaro and Jiminy from Pinocchio along with Alice from Alice in Wonderland.

Amber(Jade and Floyd's twin sister) was found on the beach as an infant by her adopted sister. She grew up being very active. Her favorite hobby is surfing and she goes to the beach as frequently as possible. She actually loves cute things but struggles to find things that fit her tall frame. She's pulled into Twisted Wonderland by a powerful riptide while out surfing. During book 2 Amber got into a brawl with Floyd during the investigation and she's shocked when Floyd comes back later happy to see her. She finds herself being extra protective of her friends and it's after Azul's overblot that she gets to have a heart to heart with Floyd that he lets her know that basically her mer-eel instincts were kicking in and that female mers like her are extremely aggressive when it comes to protecting their families and loved ones. The triplets are such gremlins to each other. All three have no problems stealing food off each other's plates. She and Riddle become an item and it's an adorably sweet romance since it's basically a first for both of them. Amber is inspired by Flotsam, Jetsam, and Ariel.

Berilo(Azul's twin brother)grew up in a Hispanic household. His parents have a more traditional dynamic and his mom frequently fused over him even as he was nearly fully grown. He dealt with bullying because his passion is dancing and he does ballet. His parents always worried about the long term for him and he always reassured them that he was going to become famous and would retire rich so he could take care of them when they're elderly. He ends up in twisted Wonderland while taking a ferry to tryouts for a new production. The ferry is rammed from below by the black carriage. Once they figure out they're brothers, the two of them form a rivalry with each other that can be down right petty at times. Berilo might not be as much of a schemer like Azul but they sure share some of the same mannerisms. His inspiration is Morgana from Little Mermaid.

Mayu(Malleus' twin sister) grew up in a loving family but was rather isolated from the world due to her aging much slower then humans. Once she was old enough to "pass" as an adult, she lived more on her own and lived in a cabin in the woods that family would usually visit during the summer, only really going into town once a year to restock supplies. She ends up in Twisted Wonderland when she follows some green fireflies and finds a pond that turns into a mirror, a hand beckons to her from the mirror and she reaches for the hand. The last thing she remembers is hearing the voice from the prologue welcoming her home. She has a secret fanclub even before it's revealed she's a Draconia and she's unofficially the "Princess of NRC" there's a whole magicam account dedicated to her. Cater, Rook, and Jade supply photos for the fanclub. Her inspiration is Diavalo from Sleeping Beauty.

Lewis(Riddle's twin brother) grew up in a family of lovable but eccentric types. Lewis grew up with a passion for science and inventions. Lewis is injured during Riddle's overblot and knocked unconscious. It's discovered that Lewis and Riddle are siblings when the nurse brings up that Lewis may need a blood transfusion in the future. Riddle volunteers bringing up it's his fault Lewis was injured. Riddle is shocked because his mother never had a second son, she had a daughter. Lewis is inspired by the white queen from Through the looking glass along with Lewis from meet the Robinson's.

Outis(Idia's brother and Ortho's twin brother) suffered from anemia his entire life. Since he was never very active, he grew up playing lots of games. Eventually finding a love in fighting games and participating in tournaments. His doctor's could never figure out why he was so weak so he was always encouraged to eat a diet right in iron. It's during Idia's overblot that the Shroud curse finally kicks in and his hair erupts into fiery red as he angrily rants in a rage. It turns out his anemia was actually his body's lack of blot. His inspiration is Hades and Cerberus from Hercules.

Beau(Vil's twin brother) has a love of the creative and the theater but suffers from Glossophobia, so he can never actually perform in front of people. So he finds other ways by being heavily involved in the behind the scenes. Building set pieces, writing musical scores, painting backdrops, anything to help. He also loves to sing but can never actually sing in front of other people. The only reason anybody knows he can sing is they overheard him when he was singing by himself while cleaning. He naturally gravitated towards the film appreciation club and crossed paths with Vil. His inspiration is the evil Queen's heart box.

Ringo(Epel's twin brother) grew up with a passion for clothing and alt fashion. He embraced his feminine side and freely wears whatever he likes. Feminine or masculine, they're Ringo's clothing. Ringo's not afraid to speak his mind and would absolutely tear into anybody who gives him shit for wearing a skirt. Epel and Ringo got into a brawl during the VDC because Epel called him a brown noser and Vil's boot licker while Ringo called him a pathetic excuse for a man because of his attitude towards feminine things. They really didn't start getting a long until after working together during book 6 and eventually started having each other's back. Ringo's inspo is the "non-poisononus" side of the apple in Snow White's fairy tale.

Hana(Deuce's twin brother) Hana is decent in school but not necessarily the brightest. As a little kid, he got into a fight with a group of older boys who were stomping on snails that came out during the rain. He's cried when he got to hold a Heartslabyul hedgehog for the first time because it was so adorable. He tried his best to help out Deuce and Grim with their school work when he can. But sometimes it seems like him and Deuce pass the braincell back and forth. His inspiration is the 2 of hearts and Kronk from Emperors new groove. His name inspired by the card game Hanabi.

Aria(Leona's younger sister) she was adopted and her parents eventually had several over children. She spent her life basically taking care of her younger siblings as soon as she was old enough to change their diapers. She grew up resenting her parents for never allowing her to just be an actual kid or teenager and ran away from home when her parents demanded she give up her dream to go to college and stay home to help her family instead. Her Inspiration is Zira, Sirabi, and the other lionesses from Lion King.

[rediscovering-webkinz]

My Webkinz

Plushies + info

sadly, this collection will be split up into a few reblogs

LICORICE - He's a boy stormy dragon and my blog's mascot! He's extremely adventurous and very curious about the world around him!

CHERRY - She's a girl pink poodle and my first ever Webkinz. She's missing an eye and has a few injuries but she's a tough little gal! She loves everything in pink, obviously, and is quite the girly girl.

OREO - A girl black and white cat who sees the world in black and white. She's quite fussy and a bit much at times, but her friends love her all the same! Another of the few childhood Webkinz I could afford to hold onto.

SNOWBALL - A girl Persian cat. The last of my childhood Webkinz, sadly :( While you might think Snowball would be a refined and sophisticated young lady, she's quite the opposite! Always rough and tumble and looking to get up to something.

CASSANDRA - Notably, a girl lioness. She's named after one of my OCs, like many of my Webkinz, and is therefore really just the Webkinz version of her. A little sadistic, a little aloof, she's really got it all. She's also in a relationship with Exe and Kieran! (See below, or something)

ETHAN - A boy googles. Lil' 'Kinz, to be exact. Also named after my OC. He's aspiring to be a doctor, though a bit difficult now that every illness has been cured in Webkinz World, and is a huge nerd for aliens! He's dating Tanner (see below)

DAHLIA - A girl rabbit, another OC named Webkinz, and this time she's trans!

She's dating Marcie (see below)

MARCIE - A girl hippo, this time named after my dear friend's OC, another trans gal!

EXE - A boy opossum, once again an OC named Webkinz, this one mine! Exe is short for Executioner! A sadomasochist and absolute wife guy, he'd do pretty much anything for Cassandra. While he does enjoy Kieran being around, he really could care less if he was gone.

BILLY - A boy leopard, finally we're out of the OC named Webkinz hole... For now... Billy wears pants because he is very fashionable, he's also a drama queen, and likes guys. That last one isn't very important though, because he can't find a boyfriend anyways.

WREN - A girl lamb, this little gal is named after my girlfriend, because she's also cute and lovable :) Just an absolutely sweetheart who wants the best for the people she cares about.

POPSICLE - A boy icy mist leopard, named by my lovely girlfriend. He's quite the old soul and is always looking to give people a little of his wisdom, even if they aren't looking for it. He loves cuddling up in a nice fluffy blanket and sitting in front of a nice warm fire at night.

ROSALINE - A girl Siamese cat. Rosaline is quite the fancy little creature, she likes only the finest furniture, foods, and clothes will not settle for less. Her taste in art is immaculate and she does happen to adore Marcie's works.

JUDAS - A boy Himalayan cat. A messy little guy, Judas has quite the bad habit of leaving chaos everywhere he goes. He loves the cold and is always excited when it snows, especially when it's deep enough to make snowmen and snow angels!

RUTH - A girl duck, named after my main OC's own pet duck! Ruth is an absolute sweetheart who's always there to lend to hand to those who need it. She's quite the welcoming person and will always try to make your day a little better!

ELIJAH - A boy endangered cougar, named after my girlfriend's main OC. He's a big fan of parties, staying out late, and getting wasted, though the others prefer that he Not. He always believes life should be lived the fullest and by god is he going to live.

BINX - A boy signature penguin, named by my girlfriend. He's a very strict and stern individual, though he thinks he has to be to set a good example for his little brother, Bongo (see below)

BONGO - A boy penguin. He's Binx's little brother and a bit of a nerd at that. He loves to have his beak in a book reading about any and everything he can!

MIPSY - A girl clover cat. She loves nature, the color green, and having lots and lots of money! Gardening isn't cheap or easy, after all, and by golly does she love to garden! This little gal has quite the green thumb and is very proud of it.

SNUGGLES - A boy whimsy dragon, named by my friend. As a whimsy dragon, Snuggles is quite the whimsical little guy. He loves stained glass everything, sweet treats, and flying through the clouds! You might even see him trying to make friends with the birds, though that never really works out for him.

PENNY - A girl black cat. Penny is a lover of sweaters, Halloween, and warm hugs! She absolutely loves pumpkin pie and is always itching to get dressed up in fun little costumes!

MARSHALL - A boy midnight monster. Marshall is a softie, sure, but that's only because he's a hardened veteran who's seen the horrors of war and wishes to only instill kindness onto this world ever since. He's a righteous man who does his best to do the right thing, even when it's difficult.

CERBERUS - A boy black poodle, named by my friend. Another diva, really, and he's not afraid to walk around with his nose in the air to prove it. He's always got to hop on the hottest new trend and the moment it's over he's sure to let you know that what you're wearing is sooo last Thursday.

PRISCILLA - A girl golden pegasus. Priscilla is quite soft spoken and easily blends into the background if you aren't looking for her, despite her eye catching appearance. She doesn't like being the center of attention, and she'll absolutely cry if you try to make her it.

BURTON - A boy gorilla. Burton is another old soul, though maybe this time he really is old. No one's certain, since gorillas don't exactly show their age, especially when they're stuffed! He prefers being by himself, though sometimes the company of others is nice... Only when he wants it, though.

TRANSVAAL - A boy lion, named by my friend. A bit of a dope, Transvaal means no harm to anyone, and really without someone there to get him his food, he's pretty much a vegetarian since it's easier than getting meat... Most of the time.

DANTE - A boy black stallion. Dante is a racer, and he will win every time, even if he has to cheat or use underhanded tricks to get the gold. To him, second place is just first loser. It's either first or nothing.

RICCO - A boy raccoon, named by my girlfriend. A little trash panda, and Ricco lives by that name. Lazy as he can be and quite the little heathen who'll dig through trash any day of the week. At least he washes himself quite often as he hates smelling like garbage more than smelling it.

TANNER - A boy velvet elephant, named after an OC once more. Tanner is a massive nerd for fitness and looking tough and loves to show off how strong he is. He's also a massive softie for his sweet little nerdy boyfriend, Ethan, and would do anything to protect him. Dahlia is his beloved cousin who he helped raise. Try not to think about their family tree.

TOP TEN FAVORITE HOUSAMO CHARACTERS?

Well~ I'm a person of my word : )

Note:

I am ranking these characters purely based on my opinions on their characterization and personality. How well they play in gameplay will not be factored. I'm sure by the way ya'll saw my dogshit ass team in the first post, you'll know my standards in that lane are absolutely garbage 😭

Also... I think this list will show that I have a goddamn type when it comes to my taste in men at least 💀 My taste in women tends to be more of a mixed bag methinks. If any of ya guys want to take a guess what said type (for men) is be my guest. I know in this list I’ll mention that there are character tropes I like… but I”m talking about in general lol.

With that said... here it is...

Moon's Top 10 Favorite Housamo/Tokyo Afterschool Summoners Characters

10. Horkeu Kamui

Idk if I’m gonna get flamed or having him this low but keep in mind, I absolutely love Horkeu. I can definitely see why many fans describe him as “husband material”. Man is dedicated. Like get me a man who’s willing to take care of me 24/7… I know damn well he’d make me get better about my sleep schedule 😔. I also love how much of an absolute dork he is. My first impression of him when he first made his chapter was legit “Oh my god….” In a good way. If I ever become a furry in the future you can bet that this man is to blame. To end it off… his smile… oh my fucking god his smile is so precious. Overall just a good lovable lad overall and I loved him in the Hot Spring Mountains event, 10/10.

9. Tsathoggua

My first impression of Tsathoggua was “Oh my god… don’t do this to me….” Once again in a good way. One of my soft spots is the lazy character/NEET trope. Tsathoggua is no exception. Like first of all… he hates going outside (bitch me too), he just wants to stay inside and play video games (bitch me too)… everything one could ever want from a NEET. But I also love how when push comes to shove and he actually needs to get his ass up and join the quests, he’s up for it. Like genuinely cares about those close to him and I love it. Like it’s so easy to make this kind of character type act like an utter asshat, but Tsathoggua’s not… he a good boi. I also think the other reason I like him is that he reminds me of Idia and I love Idia. Overall, I love the furry NEET boi and his sequence in the Seaside Fashionista event, 10/10.

8. Bathym

This mf… was an utter jumpscare when he made his first appearance like god damn. What’s he doing out here with all that ass? 😂👌 And his legs… holy shit his fucking legs in every single one of his skill activation stills I just 😌👌. Jokes aside, I get the appeal with Bathym. His character’s a lot of fun. I’ve always loved characters who are very fun and affectionate but they also git that sultry streak to them. I also got a soft spot for utter attention hog type characters… when they’re done well. Bathym’s a case of this type being done well. Because come on… bro’s sexy… I don’t care how people judge me on that. I would totes hug this man if I ever met him irl… the best part is that he’d most likely be so into that 😭. I adore him, utterly adore him, 10/10… design is 1000/10.

7. Hakumen

In the words of the great Spike Spiegel… I love a woman who can kick my ass. Hakumen is one of those characters where she looks good but fully embraces it and doesn’t let it stop her from being an absolute girlboss. She kind of reminds me of Bayonetta in a way like that. Which now thinking about it is very fitting considering what her Sacred Artifact is. She’s a character I love particularly because of the lore she adds to the story. I find her extremely fascinating especially in regard to what it adds to the protagonist character. The Valentine’s Jail event I think is a prime example of why I like her character so much, as well as the Resort event. It’s cute seeing how much of a soft spot she has for the protagonist (I know why but it’s still cute to me). Overall, beautiful to boot and knows how to fight for herself, I absolutely love her. 10/10, absolute girlboss.

6. Andvari

Now… you’re probably all thinking… “Moon what the hell is wrong with you?”… I’m just gonna say it, I love the sort of greedy sleazebag’s with a soft spot. I also do legitimately think that he’s legitimately good looking. But other than that, Andvari is someone that I’ve grown a soft spot for ever since I watched a playthrough of the Beach House and Andvari Falls event as well as the Hot Spring event. Like he is legit a fun character to watch. I love how the Beach House event showed a more fun softer side to him….Also because of a certain still in regard to his beach outfit 😏 I also love the fact that he’s a dwarf… and absolutely jacked, like bro has not skipped leg day. I’d also like to thank Andvari for being the cause of one of the funniest player dialogue choices I’ve seen in game (that’s in the Hot Spring Event). Overall, I love this guy and hope they do more with him in the future because he’s fascinating to me… 10/10

5. Goemon/Shukaku

On the topic of the Beach House event, this fellow right here was introduced in said event. The gist is, he’s a tanuki who works at a theater as an actor. Goemon (the humanoid form) is his stage name while Shukaku (the tanuki form) is his real name. When acting as Goemon he presents himself as a master thief and the whole event is him trying to perfect his acting craft while also paying off his debt to Andvari. There’s a big lore reason to why he chose his stage persona to be Goemon but idk if that’s a spoiler so… Anyways… I love this guy, he’s an absolute joy to watch, and adorable to boot. He’s also a big ham hah and treats his introduction like a huge performance. There’s also his event quest where at the beginning he does a whole ass commercial jingle performance that I absolutely love. I would really like to see him return in a future event as to my knowledge the only other event he showed up in was the Valentine’s Time Warp Event (which also features an intro performance by him). Anyways, adorable, love his character, love his design, everything about him is 🥰 10/10.

4. Garmr

Doggy doggy, I love this good boyo. Garmr is a character that I fell in love with the instant I laid eyes on him. I love his dynamic with the protagonist. He may not appear as a main in most of the events, but whenever he is on screen he’s an absolute joy. I also love the fucking seething hatred he has for Kengo 😂 It’s always so funny seeing the 180 Garmr does, like at first he’s “Hi Master! 😊” and then the minute Kengo enters his sight he’s like “Hate Kengo! Shoo! 😡”. That’s always been funny to me. There isn’t much to say since as I’ve stated earlier, to my knowledge, there aren’t really any events where he’s a main other than the Valentine’s event, the Seaside Summer event, and the Guardian Dog event. But what he does offer is enough for me and I absolutely love him. Garmr is a good boy 10/10.

3. Licht

I honestly did not expect to like Licht as much as I do because when I first saw him he honestly reminded me of the nerd emoji. Like he is four fingers away from “Erm actually☝️🤓”-ing my ass. I also thought it was funny af how he just gave up on all his plans like that because the protagonist complimented his art. Now that I’ve gotten a feel for how he acts… he’s still an absolute dork but I love him anyway. Like how is this man both badass and an utter boyfailiure 💀 Also the Golden week quest where he finds out what doujin is for the first time is just 💀 But in all seriousness, I love the dynamic between him and the protagonist, especially in the Valentines Jail Event. (AND THE FACT HE SAYS FUCKING GADZOOKS IF YOU CHOOSE THE STRIP OPTION OH MY GOD OF FUCKING COURSE HE’D SAY SOME GOOFY ASS SHIT LIKE THAT 😭😂) Overall… goofy, a fucking geek, love him, 10/10.

2. Choji Iimori

Choji is utterly adorable I love him so much. We stan a man who is willing to cook for you. I love how hardworking he is though sometimes I wish he’d. take a break once in a while. I also like how his happiness derives from people enjoying his food, his love language is definitely giving you food. I also love how it’s revealed he started cooking and loves it… because he loves eating. That’s from the Sunshine Christmas event, I absolutely love the interactions with him and his date sequence from that event. (Though there’s a reason I won’t say he’s pure…from that event let’s just say…. Choji having a straight up foodplay kink was not on my bingo card 💀). Other adorable things from that event is how easily flustered Choji can get. He’s a literal cinnamon roll 🥰. I want to pinch his cheeks~ But still his date sequence in the Sunshine Christmas event… it went from “awwwww 😊” to “ohhhhh 😳” … 10/10

1. Ryota Yakushimaru

THIS MAN…. HAS BEEN INVADING MY BRAIN SINCE I FIRST SAW HIM. Ryota, Ryota, where do I begin with him? First of all, I love his dynamic with the protagonist, it’s clear he cares about them so much. There’s a reason I ship him with my mc character the most. But AUGGHHH the fucking feels he brings when he talks about his insecurities, I just want to hug him and say everything’s okay. I also love how he’s both oblivious to romantic advances but at the same time has that playful, romantic streak once he knows. There’s way he just over time accepted that the mc liked rubbing his belly is just. Also… HOW HE ALMOST SAYS HE WANTS TO SPEND THE REST OF HIS LIFE WITH THE MC IN THE NEW YEARS EVENT 🥹🥹 Just him and the mic in general… they deserve happiness, Ryota deserves the world. I can’t wait for his date quest to be translated. So yeah, I’m a basic bitch, Ryota is my favorite character in Housamo ☺️ 10/`10

Acevedo, Elizabeth

“With the Fire On High”

Rating: 3/5

I was biased before I even started this book, and I can’t tell in which direction.

Theoretically: I love Elizabeth Acevedo. I love all her previous work. I love “Clap When You Land” more than anything else I’ve read, I think. So, since I have such deep affection for this author and her style, I’d be more willing to pardon the ways in which this particular book is lacking.

However: I love Elizabeth Acevedo. I love “Clap When You Land.” And knowing all the ways in which she can make absolute magic with words on a page makes it all the more disappointing that this particular book falls so horribly flat.

That’s not to say I don’t like “With the Fire On High.” I enjoyed reading it, and the story was entertaining. Elizabeth Acevedo is a master of dynamic characters, engaging yet small side plots, and diverse cultural infusion that doesn’t feel forced. She illustrated varying cultures, identities, backgrounds and traditions, all through one first-person POV, and none of it seemed like she didn’t know what she was talking about or was only including it for “diversity points.” “With the Fire On High” has the same lovable yet flawed character and relationship types as her previous work.

The main difference is the format. “The Poet X” and “Clap When You Land” are both books of poetry, and they are stunning. “With the Fire On High” is a normal YA-style novel, and I have a couple issues with this.

While the story of Emoni and her classmates would likely be best told through pose instead of poetry, Acevedo’s complex and emotional style is heavily undermined by the full sentences and paragraphs. In my opinion, her previous work was so hard-hitting and beautiful because poetry leaves no room for fluff. “With the Fire On High” makes it clear that Acevedo doesn’t seem to know how to do “fluff.”

The subject matter— college applications, teenage pregnancy and parenting, apprehension regarding sex and relationships, etc, etc— is clearly aimed at older high schoolers. However, the book is set up like something more for preteens, with simple chapter titles and childish “gimmicks” (for example, throughout the book, the POV character begins to swear in her narrations before catching and comedically correcting herself). It not only looks “YA,” it reads extremely YA, which in this case, I don’t think is a good thing.

There’s nothing wrong with experimenting with a different style or younger audience, but the topics should shift with those elements. I felt like I was reading a grown-up story jammed into a cute teen drama format, and it made the whole thing seem a bit… plastic.

Some other, quicker complaints: All problems were resolved in a very predictable manner. Emoni is reminiscent of Xiomara in a way that feels less like a sweet parallel and more like Acevedo can’t seem to create a unique protagonist, which surprised me since she’s normally so excellent with characters. “Pretty Leslie”’s character was a letdown— Acevedo came very close to bringing her into the story with more complexity and depth, but it felt a bit like she stopped halfway through, giving half-answers for a lot of the questions Emoni had about her. Tyrone’s character seemed kind of plain, like Acevedo lazily decided to give him personality and redemption in the last 50 pages, and his mother read like a walking stereotype.

Still, I can’t deny that it’s a good story. “With the Fire On High” braids together many different stories and small things that readers are made to care about, and most of the characters are, as always, incredibly designed. I honestly think it would be a better read without the prior expectations shapes by Acevedo’s other works, and if you’re able to overlook the childish appearances and tone, it’s absolutely worth picking up.

Beware spoilers! (watching on Tuesday... I just realise Idek if you get your episodes on Tuesdays too)

S4 E10

SNAFU - Situation normal: all fucked up

Sazz is narrating the episode

She decided to have Charles as her hero!

Sazz: "When you take your hero on a journey, get him in all kinds of trouble, but land him home safely? Nothing better than that." Every single (fanfiction)author out there: Put the hero in a situation! Maybe they get a happy ending...

Sazz: "But happy endings are for movies and exotic massages."

lmao... took me long enough to find the extra symbols behind the buttons in my iphone.

Okay, but putting Mabel in front of the window and then letting down the blinds... extremely dramatic. Well done, Marshall!

... why is Marshall so extra? That jump was so unneccessary.

Listen Marshall, there are two more people who know about you. If you kill Mabel that is three deaths and you will still get in jail.

"You've got fail." <- no one says that.

Charles. ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

O: "Wh-What if you do it from Vince's? It's right next door?" C: "That is the first good pitch you've had since this whole thing started." O: "It took four seasons. But now I'm cookin' with gas!"

Chuppa? Is Loretta Jewish?

Aw... I know it's very bad timeing but don't be mean to Lester.

... they just move the production to New Zealand BECAUSE OF AN ALGORITHM?! Oh boy.

Vince: "Oh, great timing! I'm just doing this new thing called exercise. You wanna join?" Rudy: "He hired me to be his trainer." O: "Uh-huh."

Omg... Charle's first stunt. Channel your inner Sazz.

... oh god... Oliver is on the ledge so his bestie is not alone on the ledge.

O: "No, no, Charles, you're my ride or die. And my strong preference is to ride." That is so cute. Holy shit. But there is no space to "scoot"

Jeebus.

"Step. Drag. Step. Drag. Step Drag."

Who do you think is doing the "Ding Dong", Charles? The lovable weirdos.

Vince: "We wanna borrow some sugar!" <- Perfect.

They are doing a perfect job of being a weird distraction.

I agree with Oliver, don't go inside, Charles!

The Multitool!!

Holy shit, well done, Charles!

... holy shit... that Dad sounds fun. But in the end he was correct. Marshall is a killer, not a writer.

Oh my god... please don't tell me that Sazz's first draft was so good that Marshall got jelous and decided to kill Sazz? You know kid she has like 30 years of expierence within the showbiz on you. She probably read thousands of scripts and knows what works and how it works. Someone like her being better is no shame!

Also I know Marshall is not his real name but I remember it like that and I'm so bad with names.

Asshole.

EXPIERENCE! ASSHOLE! She knows the characters personally and she has expierence. Shit, she knows the murderer of the first season personally, has an affair with her. Like, of course that script is good! Jeebus fuck!!

... an A-class asshole.

Rex.

Police Academy SEVEN?! ... apparently the last of the movies... I probably saw it but if so, only once?

Aw... Sazz is so hurt :(

... if Marshall was clever and less of an asshole with his own head so far up his own ass that he could think in logical storylines, he would had killed Sazz right there in her own home.

You know Marshall, you did nothing. This was not your work...

How did Marshall remember the Dudenoff apartment??? Did he knew Dudenoff before this whole thing?

OH! RIGHT! Sazz' script... omg what was the sidestory???

They have the original script... all right, let's get through the whole killer-monolog and then we'll hopefully get answers.

... he takes off the beard and becomes a killer.

How did he close the window from the outside? Wasn't it painted shut?

OH MY GOD, SAZZ!! Believing into Charles until the very end.

Stop being so extra, Marshall

HOLY SHIT NOT LIKE THAT

JAN IS CRAZY

And freaky.

Jan and Charles are endgame?

Loretta is not gonna get murdered.

Fuck the algorithm.

Howard and Winnie! Ring-bearers.

Awww Mabel and Charles are leading Oliver down the aisle.

Jesus fuck, Uma.

Awww Dickie and Will are leading Loretta down the aisle.

Adorable!

Loretta: "You are the most extraordinary man I have ever known." O: "Ah... thank you." Loretta: "You are. You brought down a murderer, and you can merengue. I mean..." O: "Mm. What a combo."

Lmao... how sad Charles looks when Mabel takes his class of campaign.

Adorable.

Now, who is that?

Lmao Uma just stealing the elevator.

Her husband is Nicky "The Neck" Caccimelino. We heard that name in the news in episode 9.

Woman (Sofia): "I am disappointed." - Hello disappointed, we are Murders in the building.

Keep it in your pants, Charles.

Loretta and Oliver are so adorable. Holy shit.

"Where have you been?" GOSH.

So... they will find a body any moment now...

LESTER

NO

NOT LESTER

OH MY GOD

NOOOOOOO and in the fountain that he said is good luck. ... that explains why he wasn't on duty. Oh my god...

... the glass with ashes with the bow tie....

Well, that was season 4... and now it's going to be a long time until season 5.

Boi.

BOI.

[the-hungdeli-hermit]

finally wrote up a somewhat proper explanation as to why Roulette doesn’t like Chai at the start of her rather tumultuous journey. I don’t know if this can be considered a long read post but here’s your warning. Oh, and you can scroll down for some lineart pieces (really proud of those two) and another mention of a NIN album.

because we love NIN in this house

At first glance it might seem like Roulette hates Chai’s guts to an unimaginable degree, but “hate” is too strong of a word here, even in her own opinion. Yes, she does find him rather annoying, arrogant, idiotic in his antics and just in general the biggest dumbass she’s ever laid her eyes on. At the same time, she knows it’s rather pointless to be as nasty as she is to him at times, yet she feels as though she can’t stop now, like she has to be mean to him. Acting all nice and calm towards him after everything she’s said to him would be like admitting some so sort of defeat to herself.

(And she’s can be a stubborn bitch sometimes, even when she knows how she’s acting towards him is incredibly mean and stupid (her first meeting with him basically clouds her judgment; the reason for initially disliking him is really petty, a spur of a moment situation))

The issue runs deeper than that though. Ru is angry with Chai not just because he feels like a caricature of every lazy loser who thinks they’re the hottest shit out there, but because she is extremely envious of him, both his character and position. Seemingly a nobody from God knows where gets a prosthetic for garbage collection and then becomes an ambassador for one of the departments of a multibillion tech company just… because? A literal college-dropout, a slacker who doesn’t take his job seriously and just seems to leech off of the company he works for? And people even like him?!

Is it really because of his positive attitude? His stupid smile? Or… is he just that charming and lovable compared to her? It seems as though everything comes to him easily, without him even trying, that he is just that incredibly lucky.

Of course, Ru doesn’t knows his situation, what he’s been through to get to this point in time and who he had to face. Heck, we don’t even know what his past was like, but we can only assume that it wasn’t that great. She thinks her comments don’t really affect him much, that he brushes them off with ease and just goes about his life being all “rockstar” or something. 

And he does, but some of them just hit way too close to home without even meaning too.

She dreamt big too, you know? Big dreams of her own, that she couldn’t fulfil due to her life circumstances. And here he is, a reminder that more often than not, hard work is not enough. Just one lucky moment can be enough change your life completely, and her hard work couldn’t compare to that. 

At least she got lucky this time, getting accepted into Vandelay Tech as a mere HR-assistant. She thought she could change her life around completely, start fresh in a new and unfamiliar environment.

And she did, but wherever you go, you’ll always have yourself, right? And you can’t really outrun your own problems like that. It might give you more motivation to work on yourself, but in the end… who is to say that it’ll actually help you?

Their relationship will improve eventually, but only after someone will be saved once and at least one attempted murder/voluntary manslaughter? Hard to tell 

Also LISTEN TO «With Teeth» BY NINE INCH NAILS IT LITERALLY DESCRIBES HER CURRENT STATE AND FEELINGS. YOU CAN JUST READ THE TITLES OF THE SONGS AND ALREADY GET A GOOD PICTURE

Actually JUST LISTEN TO NINE INCH NAILS IN GENERAL. And I’m not just talking The Downward Spiral or Pretty Hate Machine (both are wonderful, of course), but listen to other works too.

And now, the little art pieces:

Still experimenting with style and how to draw Roulette. The last post with her was leaning more into being somewhat realistic, while this one is just… cute. Which I really like! And of course, the second is more of an experiment with lineart. Still love my Sakura Pigma Micron pens to death, they just hit different. The scratchy look turned out lovely on the second piece.

oh yeah, and these two are the same person

from doing tricks on her trampoline with her sisters to stepping in a ring for the first time at 13 with only know how to do her cartwheels from cheerleading, it's safe to say carla was meant to do this. once this future got in her head, it was the only one for her. she'd see the greats have their huge moments on television, even shedding tears for a few. she had to be one of them, there was no way around it. she'd miss hangouts, joining clubs, dances and even proms for trainings and eventually small shows. from her worst matches in the beginning to those where crowds were chanting for her, she knew she made the right call.

her name started truly getting out there after working with many promotions, news of a new prodigy coming out - working every weekend at 17. winning championships before she could vote. it was looking extremely bright for when she signed with CPW at 20. and she hit the ground running. she was lovable, cute-faced newbie that you couldn't help but root for. she loved the cheers, the energy - it all. they loved her reaching out to other for matches, helping them when they got caught in drama. but, they'd always turn on her, jealous of the attention someone so young was getting, envious of the opportunities... and eventually, the crowds was getting... bored? it was the same cheery, smiley girl they loved just month prior.. but of course there had been some newer, happier wrestlers... of course they would flip flop.

unable to process this might just be a 'in your own head' problem, she let it fester. becoming a little less cheerful with the audience, a little harsher with her moves. did she start sneakily poking eyes? when did she start putting her feet on the ropes? and then she just snapped one day. since then, she's been.. despicable, for lack of a better word. not a care in the world for who she hurts, why she's doing it, or how far she'll go. what matters is getting to the top how she's destined to.

outside of the ring, she's not egotistical. she knows what she worth and what she can do, but she's humble. she doesn't push it in people's face. truthfully, she's a bit reserved, but it's just that she's been burned by people a bit too much. but crack her shell just a bit? you've got the most loyal friend around. works hard and loves harder when the time comes. loving pet mom, music enjoyer, and a wee bit of a fangirl.

carla is single, irl relationships will not be mentioned here! plots always open for her.
