#gloves of the reunited kingdom

[rannadylin]

Huzzah - the star fingertip is done!

[wishfxljikan]

Writing an AU Gummigoo and plotting him out is so fun because my first thought was I shit you not letting him go interdimensional travel and he wants to learn to be real (and turns into a real croc at one point)

but to hide the fact that he is a gummi candy croc..

he dressed similarly to FL4K.

THIS FL4K.

Like I imagine he goes full on Gunslinger/Bounty Hunter with somewhat similar clothing just to hide his identity

and he becomes this nigh invincible / intimidating motherfucker because he has never reacted to getting injured because you know

he's not real, he can't bleed, he can't scar, he can't go through PHYSICAL pain, he's got no receptors to nerve damage or pain, he's still a piece of gummy candy.

So the main whole he's stayin in, he's FEARED like big time, no one fucks with him, because he's just never seemed like he was in pain or anything.

I imagine he becomes real and starts dressing lightly again (Keeps the pants, wears this black poncho, got the red scarf on him over top, got the holster, and the Belt + straps and these sick ass fingerless gloves and steampunk-esque cowboy boots on top of his signature cowboy hat and he just)

finds his way back to The Digital Circus just to verbally assault the shit out of Caine for doing that to him and

Caine can't get rid of him. He's real. He's 100% bonafide real. He can't even bear to stay here so he just reunites with Pomni before forcing Caine to open a portal back into the Candy Kingdom

because he's going back for his two mates and he's taking them with him this time.

god I love the AU.

“ Don't make me cry, though I still got love for you and haven't got over you yet.

Hands covered with white gloves moved around the map to corroborate your binnacle.

Northwest, near Zigan Village... wait, didn't the military already helped that village...? No, you would've registered it when—

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “HEY, MISS GEOGRAPHY!” Bolin screamed walking to you, giving you a tiny heart attack. “Watcha doin'?”

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Fucking spirits, Bolin...” you said out of breath, turning fully his way. “Do you need something?”

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "The boss wants us all reunited, we are close to the town." your friend let his arm rest on your shoulders. "Should we go reunite with Mako and Asami while we are there?"

A sound of consideration vibrated in your throat while your face made an expression of thinking. “I don't think they can, Bo, Mako is occupied being a detective and Asami has a whole company to run, remember?”

You felt how your friend got discouraged after that, a small sigh left his lips.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Maybe you're right..” he said in a small voice.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “But maybe we can reunite with them after the coronation. Who knows? Korra could be back in the city by now too.” you tried to encourage the lavabender back, poking his side. He smiled.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Oh! I wish! She hasn't answer any of my letters to her, you know? And I wrote to her with dedication.” Bolin ranted making you laugh.

After the avatar left Republic City to heal in the Southern Water Tribe, Bolin had found out Kuvira's plan to save the Earth Kingdom from chaos herself and he decided to walk in the team as he really wanted to have his and his father's nation back to peace. One week later, he came to you talking you into joining too, assuring it would be to have the nation united until the new king took possession of his place.

You did take a couple days to consider his proposal and ended up showing to the train with your stuff, being met with a big hug from your friend and a welcome speech from the leader.

The team was small when you joined, so you had the honor to see Kuvira recruit more people for the good cause... At least that was what she made everyone believe, even you.

You were able to take a good position in Kuvira's circle, you managed the villages reports for her and that made you be close to her. She remembered you from the team's visit to Zaofu where you would be kind to everyone, she taught you some new metalbending moves you didn't know and that was also part of the reason you joined: Kuvira herself.

Having to be almost every single hour of the day by her side gave you the opportunity to meet her in more depth than how it happened back in the metal clan's city and in a blink of an eye, there wasn't a way anyone could see one without the other. Everyone started to notice how important you began to be for the young leader. Unofficially, you were her right hand, but even with such a high rank there were stuff Kuvira kept from you.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Everyone has a room assigned, we'll take the presidential suite.” Kuvira informed, pointing at you and then back at her. “We'll meet outside before the event.”

Baatar looked at you with narrow eyes before walking behind his new roommate Bolin. The metalbender and you made your way to the suite and began to settle; since the presidential suite had two connecting rooms she took the principal one and you the small one.

After leaving your stuff, you walked to her room and sat on the bed while she was getting ready for the coronation.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Are you sure to go on with your plan?” you asked after a small talk took place about the room being pretty, her sharp eyes looked at you from the mirror.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Of course, this new little king they want on the throne is nothing but a buffoon.” she answered, her eyes went back to her reflection. “And the Kingdom needs someone strong and respected to keep it together.”

You sighed and nodded with a little 'I guess' coming out of your mouth. The black haired walked to you, sitting by your side she took one of your hands.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Trust me, this is for the best. The new Empire will be stronger and far better than the previous Earth Kingdom.” her eyes searched for yours and when they met, her gaze softened. “You trust me, don't you?”

A sweet smile began to creep in your face, your head nodded once more. “I do, I trust you blindly.” your free hand reached for her cheek to leave caresses on it.

The door opened without any warning and the engineer walked, freezing after seeing you two close. He cleared his throat making the two sets of eyes turn his way. “All set, we need to go.” and he left.

You looked back at Kuvira with a funny smile, she shook her head. “Let's go, new leader.” A quick kiss on her cheek was left before distancing from the girl and walking to the exit.

At the coronation, everything went like you thought it would: People opposing, people showing support and Wu looking defeated at the border of a tantrum.

Bolin looked at you confused and you shrugged a little bit, like saying he needed to talk to her directly about it and that's what he planned to do after the ceremony.

When you came back to the room after having lunch with some of the soldiers to make time, you saw Suyin leaving the same, she looked at you and shook her head almost with disappointment before continuing her way.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Hey, what happened? I saw Suyin leave.” you asked directly coming in, Kuvira was standing with her arms crossed.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “We are leaving to Zaofu.” she limited to say, going to her room for her stuff.

You knew what was going to happen, she have been thinking about getting Zaofu into the new Empire for quite some time now, it was almost all she spoke about while talking about not letting the king rule.

Near the city, Bolin was called and told to be of company to both her and Bataar in a negotiation reunion with the matriarch of the city and her family, you were requested to stay on camp to keep working and that's what you did.

While looking through some paperwork that you knew got mixed up with Bataar's in his tent, you found blueprints for weapons you've never seen before, notes on the weapons about them being deadly and how each one could help in different areas. Your brow frowned and then, the dots connected.

Trying to look calmed you took your papers and walked back out like nothing. Bolin was also walking out of Kuvira's tent with a pale face, when he spotted you his feet almost ran your direction and took you by the shoulders.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Kuvira is not what we think she is!” he screamed in a whisper, your eyebrows raised, he knew too.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “What? Why–” he pulled you to your tent so you could talk. “What are you talking about, Bolin?”

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “She just threatened me,” your eyes widened. “She wants to take the city by force, that's what we have been doing all this time! Taking cities by force and apparently making them work like slaves too!”

You blinked to all of the information. “Holy fuck, so that's why...” your sentence stopped, now you understood why there were documents with censored information being delivered to you instead of the official ones.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Yeah, holy fuck that's why!” he backed up, pulling down his face. “We need to do something, there's no way we'll leave it like this.”

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Let me... Let me talk to her, you need to go for Varrick, I know he can help us, he was captured because of the vines I heard.” you said, spaced out on your spot, you looked back at him. “Try to get out of here with him and talk to the team, I know they can help us, Korra will help us.”

The guy nodded before going out like a man on a mission, you stayed to clear your thoughts and try to come with a way to persuade her. After collecting a couple of documents that needed approval, you made your way to her tent, Baatar was there.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “You can leave.” she said to him, the man left with a grimace, you rolled your eyes at him. “Hey, I was about to look for you, want to eat dinner?”

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Oh, sure.” you smiled, standing still with your folder, Kuvira raised an eyebrow.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ “Is... something wrong? Something happened with the reports?” she asked meticulously, almost like fearing any discoveries you had made.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "No, sorry, I just... I feel tired." you walked to her and handed the folder. "I need your approvals here so I can send these."

The girl nodded and took the paperwork to start the process, you bit your bottom lip before breathing in deep.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "Listen, I talked to Bolin..." her hand stopped and she froze. "Kuvira, I know you want to have the whole Kingdom united, but taking the city by force is not a good idea."

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "Sometimes you need to do whatever it takes to make a greater good." her response left a bad mouth taste, she looked back up at you. "I know this is something you don't want to hear, but we need to make them join to our cause so we can move forward as a nation together. I'm doing this for us."

You stood in silence, that was definitely a different Kuvira talking and it scared you a little bit.

It took you that conversation to come up with a plan, you'd stay with her to try and stop everything from the inside and fortunately you weren't alone. Zhu Li had a similar idea with the canyon they were building and so you relied on her, both had meetings from time to time to discuss progress, but it was until the Beifongs were freed and she left with them for her safety that you were all alone. You trusted she would tell everything to the team.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "Okay, you can look now." your own hands moved from your eyes, confused you looked up to see a giant robot and now both eyes were wide open. "Do you like it? It's to take Republic City back."

Your blood froze in your veins at the view you were having, it was not only the giant robot, it was the fact that you could see a canyon on its right arm. "I thought... I thought we were going to do a big canyon."

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "That was the first plan, but Baatar came up with this new model and it would be easier to mobilize around the city." you nodded still hypnotized by the weapon.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "I think this is going to be such a great idea." you said what she wanted to hear, Kuvira smiled satisfied. "What will I do?"

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "You will be with me on the main control room." your mind was running miles trying to devise a plan to let the team know.

With the luck against you, you found yourself at the control room without being able to warn anyone about anything. Horrified at the sight of the canyon destroying everything in just seconds, you were grieving silently what had been your home for all those years alive.  When the president surrendered the city, you felt your soul fall to your feet, but her instructions to them gave you an idea.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "I'll go!" you almost screamed at her, she turned your way confused. "With Baatar, Korra is my friend, she trusts me, I know she won't try anything with me there. You'll have the city, the army and the avatar." You nervousness made your hands twitch a little bit, you hid them in your back.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "Okay," she said after a few seconds of silence, Kuvira walked up to you and cupped your face in her hands.‍ "Be careful, I'll wait for you so we can rule together." She left a kiss close to the corner of your lips.

A soft smile was your response while your eyes scanned her face one last time, trying to burn the image of her in your brain and after that, you left to meet the engineer.

The first half of the journey was quiet, both of you were walking towards his office, but with healthy distance between the two.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "She likes you, you know?" he spoke out of the blue, catching your attention, you looked up from the floor and back at him for a second.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "What...?"

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "Kuvira, she likes you." he continued, you stopped a second in your steps, confused.‍ "We were trying something at the beginning of all of this, but after Bolin got you on the team she had been distant to me and this morning she said we needed to talk after this is over, I know she likes you, I've seen the way she looks at you."

You blinked in awe to what was said, that explained why he always looked at you with some type of resentment, you laughed a little bit to the thought of him hating you for ruinning his 'chance' with the leader.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "The destiny is such a funny thing." you murmured, it was almost relieving to know that maybe you did had your chance with the metalbender, you wished the situation was different so you could maybe be with her dispite all, but now you had one mission: stop her.

Once at the door, you unlocked it and walked in, as soon as Baatar walked you heard him grumble. In an automatic way, you adopted a defensive position, however when the avatar looked at you, a smile as big appeared on your face.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "Korra!" you exclaimed walking towards her to embrace a hug, she giggled.‍ "I'm so glad to see you here."

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "I'm glad to see you too," she said smiling, a couple seconds later, she distanced herself.‍ "Zhu Li told us everything, we're taking Baatar, are you coming with us?"

Without a second thought you nodded and followed the girl out of the airship.

Once at Asami's factory you greeted everyone with joy, feeling like a weight was lifted up your shoulders and when you saw Bolin your eyes watered a little bit.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "I thought you did die!" you said while hugging him with a little strength, he was giggling with pauses.‍ "I didn't have any way to communicate and then Zhu Li left and I was all alone."

The older woman patted your back with a comprehensive smile, while everything went down you stood at the back with your friend, waiting for a conclusion. When the engineer talked to her, your stomach felt fumbling and it didn't get better listening to her answer him. She asked for you and the man told her that you were with him, they had taken you too.

Seeing how the leader shoot at the factory without considering if any of you two would make it out alive somehow made you feel sad, but there wasn't time for any of that as everyone got to action trying to stop her. Lin had given metal string for you to move around and a quick tutorial on how to use it, it took you a couple of falls for you to have the transportation managed.

The fight was intense, there were times were you thought you would not make it alive in one piece. All your muscles were aching in pain at the overwork with your bending, sweat was dripping off your face, but when everyone got into the suit you took the time to rest a little bit with Asami by your side when you went to look for her after she was ejected from the hummingbird suit. Your arms were around her, giving her comfort in her now grieving time.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "I hope they can defeat her." she said, resting her head in your shoulder. You looked to the robot's way and saw fire reflecting, a tiny smile appear.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "I'm sure they will." you said back.‍ "I just wish things were different... I don't recognize Kuvira anymore."

Asami was attentive to you, she gave you a comprehensive gaze.‍ "Things happen for a reason."

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "I know that, but-" your talk was interrupted by an explosion, Asami and you covered your head with your hands and looked up afterwards.

The giant robot was halved by the vines power, with no time to waste, you ran to the scene. Before you both arrived, another explosion took place, Asami was quick to pull you to a train entrance for cover. When that one settle, your eyes shined with the new spirit portal in the heart of the city.

A small call for Kuvira left your mouth unconsciously, so you joined the rest of the group to look for the avatar while also you looked for the leader. Your mind was going a thousand per second until you saw the southerner walk out of the portal with the metalbender by her side, you sighed.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "Wait," you called to the Beifongs before they could take her farther.‍ "Can I... talk to her? It will be quick."

Lin and Suyin took just a step back, always vigilant to the leader.‍ "I'm sorry," she started, not allowing you to say anything.‍ "For everything, I'm so sorry for making you go through all of this."

One of your hands look to get one of hers, a melancholic smile was drawn in your face. "You'll do better from now on, I can feel it."

Kuvira let a couple of tears fall from her eyes, you took a step closer to her and your lips met hers in a delicate kiss. The leader was shocked, but tried to reciprocate as fast as she could. You could hear a couple of gasps at your back, but that wasn't your main focus at the moment.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "I'll wait for you." you told her, trying to sound calm. Kuvira's eyes shined with concern.‍ "Just know, I have always loved you... Always."

She smile a little bit and murmur a little 'I love you too' before she was taken away. Turning around to your friends, they all had a shocked face.

‍ ‍ ‍ ‍‍ "So! Korra saved the city!" you tried to sound as happy as possible for your friend, Bolin gave you back up and cheered for the avatar.

The whole team did a group hug as a celebration, knowing you could also need a hug from them, things will get better with time.

[mukubirdy]

An unlikely group of adventurers who walk the same path together in the continent of Elterra.

Meet the cast:

Ran Millwaters — 17 years old. A young farmhand who decides to follow Quint, seeing an opportunity to finally fulfill his late mother's wish and bury her ashes in her birthplace. He's simple and earnest, and is excited to see the world beyond his village home.

Quint Muscatt — 25 years old. This ordinary and unassuming man travels around the continent as a wandering gunslinger, having no goal or set destination in mind and letting the road take him to wherever it leads to. Those perceptive enough may tell there’s a heavy tiredness behind his kind eyes.

Johann Cobalford — 18 years old. Crown prince to the Kingdom of Cobalford, he discovered that the King of Cobalford is possessed by an evil influence but was forced to flee when he was caught eavesdropping on the king's plans. Prince Johann also seems to bear a mysterious power that not even those within the royal family know how he got it. He is quiet, reserved and finds difficulty in trusting others. In addition he has a tendency to fidget with his gloves which he rarely takes off from his hands when among people.

Dulce DeLobo — 15 years old. Bored and fed up from being cooped in her family manor, a certain book she read inspired her to seek adventures that the outside world can offer. And so she ran away from her home, chasing towards new sights and thrills just as her favorite hero did. She is quick-tempered and has a bit of an ego, her confidence stemming from her strong magical ability.

Lifeng He — 27 years old. A star acrobat from a traveling circus troupe who all hail from a foreign land. She is seen as an older sister figure among the troupe, and treats everyone like family. But when they've decided to tour Elterra, Lifeng heard word about a boy who matches the description of her missing younger brother. Now with a lead in mind, Lifeng makes the difficult decision to leave her troupe and set off on a long journey to hopefully reunite with her brother.

buried in snow for fake fic title! thank you.

BURIED IN SNOW

pairing : water bender!san x non-bender!f!reader genre : atla au, romance, eventual poly relationship warnings : canon atla violence, language, mentions of the fire nation killing people

“wow, san you’re doing a great job!” you say from where you had been watching the water bender practice.

san let’s the water he had been practice with back into the snow before he turns to you with a smile on his face. since you all had arrived in the north pole, both san and hongjoong have been practicing nonstop with water bending masters.

“do you think so?” he asks and you notice the light blush on his face as he scratches the back his neck.

“yep! a real water bending master in the making of you ask me,” you tell him as the two of manage to make yourselves closer to each other. now standing only a foot away from each other, it’s much easier to see san’s blush. “i bet you’ve been practicing a lot during your travels with the avatar.”

“yeah… kind of have to learn on the spot when you’re being chased by the fire nation,” he says with an awkward laugh and you nod your head in agreement.

“yeah, they definitely don’t give up on a chase that’s for sure,” you say causing the two of you to laugh.

“it’s been both dangerous and exciting, but i’m glad i left my village with yunho to come along with hongjoong.”

“yeah traveling with yeosang and mingi has been an adventure.”

“i’m glad hongjoong and yeosang got to reunite with each other. felt like it took a hundred years for them to find each other,” san says as the two of you begin to walk around the tribe together.

“yeah, it was nice seeing them find each other. it was really fun traveling with him and mingi. i’ll miss them.”

“miss them? why?”

“well i mean, i promised yeosang to help him find his friend and i kept it. so i guess i’ll be returning back to my village after this.”

“w-what, you can’t leave like that. yeosang and mingi will be devastated to know you’re leaving,” san says as a small protest.

“but i’m not very helpful in the grand scheme of everything. i can’t bend and i can’t fight, so i’ll be useless to you guys.”

“no, you won’t be useless,” san says stopping you from walking as he takes your hand into one of his. you can’t help feel heat rise to your cheeks as he looks you dead in the eyes, all serious.

“you’ve done a lot more than you give yourself credit for, mingi told us about how you risked your life when him and yeosang got sick or how you did a lot to help all the earth kingdom villages. you’ve helpful, so don’t leave, okay?”

“i-i-i’ll think about you,” you say shocked at his words and how passionate he seems about proving you wrong.

“promise?” he asks, holding out his gloved pinky and your eyes drift between his hand and his eyes before you link pinkies with him.

“promise.”

“ah, y/n, there you are!” you and san take a step away from each other and turn to see prince seonghwa walking towards you both.

“yes, prince seonghwa?”

“i found those scrolls you had asked me about and wanted to show them to you,” he voice is soft as he speaks and you perk up at the mentions of the scrolls.

“ah, did you?” prince seonghwa nods and motions to lead you away.

“i’ll see you later, san,” you bid the water bender goodbye before walking off with the water tribe prince.

san watches as you both walk away with a sad smile, hoping that you’ll keep his promise and not leave, but instead join them.

Happy Halloween/Birthday Curse!

Warnings: Wish being a little dumb, Rushed story

Note: Little Wish is a Dreamtale Au (Dreamtale belongs to Jokublog)

"Follow me, it's just this way," Curse said with a smile as he held Wishes hand, leading him through the Twilight Forest that surrounded the King of Souls kingdom.

The forests purple and blue leaves blew in the cool autumn wind, adding to the forests' scenic beauty, as long as you ignored the screams of terror coming from the echo flowers that littered every inch of the deceivingly beautiful forest.

"W-where are we even going in the first place?" Wish asked the taller male as he led him into the kingdom, the guards at the front gate not even bothering to stop them.

Curse slowed his paste, allowing Wish to get a better look at the black and purple decorated streets and the smiling faces of the kingdoms' residence. Curse held his hand tightly but was careful not to hurt him.

"This is how we celebrate Spirits Night, or as you call it, Halloween. But no matter what you call it, this time of year is extremely important to the kingdom and its people" Curse started as he led Wish through the winding streets of the kingdom, as if he knew this place like the back of his hand.

"It's the day when the veil between the mortal world and spirit world is at its weakest, allowing those who had passed on to reunite with their loved ones for one night, but as of a few hundred years ago it had also become a celebration of their current ruler and his birth"

Wish nodded along with what Curse was saying, but at the same time, unable to tear his eyes away from the sparkly decorations that the villagers had hung up all around the kingdom with love and care, he could tell that they loved the holiday just as much as Curse said they did.

Wish could see kids wearing costumes as they went house to house, and shop to shop with bags to be filled with candy and toys. He could see Jack-oʻ-lanterns and other carved gourds almost everywhere he looked.

"What's up with that?" Wish asked as he stopped to look up at the trees and saw what looked to be cardboard cutouts of apples covered in sparkly rhinestones on a string hanging from the trees branches.

Curse looked up to see what he was referring to and became visibly nervous at the question, "I-it's nothing! U-ummm... Y-you know how people l-like bobbing for apples? Well, w-we hang up fake ones as that's less dangerous for the little ones!" He quickly explained.

Wish looked at him confused, about to speak again when Curse pulled him away from the hanging apple decorations, "L-lets keep going, Spirits Night only last one day after all! And I still haven't shown you what we came here to see!"

Curse led Wish to the middle of a cliff that not only had a beautiful view of the village but also the large castle that overlooked it.

He let go of Wishes hand and ran in front of him by a few steps. He did a little spin before proudly gesturing towards a table he had set up with a variety of food and drinks.

"Ta-ah!" He said, looking at Wish with a proud and derpy smile. One that Wish couldn't help but to smile at.

"What's all this about?" He asked as he took a few steps forward to get a better look, only for Curse to grab his hand again and bring him closer to the setup.

"Come on, Wish, it doesn't bite," Curse joked, causing Wish to roll his eyes. Curse pulled a chair out for him, pushing it in before taking his own seat right across from him.

"You still haven't answered my question, Curse. What's all this about?" Wish asked him again, watching as his face started to become dusted with a reddish pink blush and nervously start to fiddle with the black gloves on his hands.

"W-well, you've never experienced anything like this before, a-at least that I know of, and I just wanted to make sure your first Spirits Night is a memorable one," he said with a nervous smile.

Wishes cheeks became dusted with a reddish pink blush as well, feeling touched by the gesture, "Aww, that's really sweet of you, Curse, but today is also your birthday, I should be the one doing something nice for you" Wish said before remembering something.

"Oh! That reminds me, before I forget again..." He trailed off as he rummaged through his bag, looking for something.

Eventually, he pulled out a small neatly wrapped box and handed it to Curse. "Happy Birthday Curse! I hope you like it! Ink and Blue helped me make it, and Lust helped me wrap it," he said with a smile that soon turned to confusion when he saw how red Curses face had gotten.

"Curse?" He asked, "Curse, are you alright?" He asked again, this time getting a slight nod from him.

Curse carefully took the box from him, "T-thank you Wish, I-I really appreciate it... I really do..." He stuttered out, his cheeks becoming an even darker shade of red as he slowly began to open the box, being careful not to tear the wrapping paper.

He pulled out a small handmade chocolate croissant charm attached to a keychain, his favorite pastry. He had only mentioned it once to Wish, but he remembered.

He smiled softly as he looked down at it, "Thank you, Wish, I love it," he said softly, unable to tear his eyes away from the small handmade charm in his hand.

"Happy Birthday Curse, and Happy Halloween," Wish said again with a closed eye smile.

Not a day passed without thinking about the promise he gave to the young prince. Through all of the training hardships, class issues, and school trouble, not once did he think about giving up on his promise. The promise was what kept him going, soon excelled in every class and training. It was obvious that P's future was tied to the royal court, even to the King himself; even if not everyone was fond of the idea, no one could deny his swordsmanship. P was offered many jobs, even offers from different kingdoms, but he didn't even look at them. No, his eyes were set on something, someone else entirely.

P missed Romeo greatly during his training, writing letters to the ever-so-busy prince almost daily, only for the prince to never receive them. Neither one of them was aware of the letters going missing, P simply assuming that Romeo had no time to respond to them; he wasn't offended, and it wasn't enough to cast him away. A promise was a promise.

The young knight observed the king, part of him still unable to believe they were in the same room again, looking at each other like all these years ago. P smiled lightly, even if the smile wasn't reciprocated. He knew it wasn't a childhood game anymore, what they got themselves into was real and a great responsibility. Romeo was trusted with the entire Kingdom, and P was entrusted with protecting Romeo - and oh, he was willing to die for him.

Hearing Romeo's voice, the Knight stood up carefully, the sheathed rapier falling into place on his side. It was an unusual weapon choice for the King's bodyguard, but no one could change P's mind. It was the weapon he was most skilled in and would prove to be the most effective with. Wasn't that the point? As long as he gets the job done.

Silently, P walks towards Romeo, not breaking their eye contact even for a second. The sunlight casts colorful shimmers through the stained glass, the lights dancing across the room and the King's skin, making him look all the more divine. P stands in front of the King and swiftly removes his gloves; it was only right to hold onto the King's when his own was bared. Gently, he takes the King's hand and bows, leaning in close. They touch for the first time in years and the warmth of Romeo's skin is just as P has remembered. Without hesitation, he leans closer and presses a kiss. His lips press against the cold ring and stay there for a brief moment, before P moves away - for a second it looks like he is backing away, but instead, he presses another kiss, this time directly to Romeo's skin, pulling his hand just slightly closer.

With that, it was clear why P was there. Although loyal and now forever obedient to the King, serving the King and Kingdom wasn't the only reason why he was there. No, he was there to reunite with his beloved friend, to never part from him again. Soon, P straightened, letting the hold of their hands linger a little longer than it would be professional, but eventually let go.

"At your service, Your Highness." he said, though his tone was softer than it was supposed to be, once again betraying his true emotion. The King seemed much better at containing it. P is almost tempted to try to break his posture but remains collected. There's time and place for everything, after all. They'll get their chance soon enough.

Missing You at the Masquerade

There’s a masquerade ball at the Ravkan Palace but Nikolai just wants to see his darling. (Mal x Nikolai fluff) ao3 version here

The night was alive with whispers and excitement as the Ravkan Palace hosted a masquerade ball. The event was the talk of the kingdom, and nobles and dignitaries from all across the country had gathered to partake in the grand festivities. Among them was Nikolai Lantsov, the young and charming king of Ravka, known for his love of adventure and knack for handling diplomatic affairs. The ball was vibrant, and an air of pleasantries surrounded the shiny and elegant ballroom. People danced and swayed. Laughter and chatter lingered throughout the room as people danced. The excitement and prospect of dancing with a charming masked stranger enthralled everyone. 

Standing in the corner, Nikolai observed the scene before him with a longing ache. His face was covered with a sleek blue masquerade mask, concealing the sorrow he felt from watching everyone dance. His heart lay with one person only. Mal, now a fearless sailor, had been at sea for months. His absence. Their love story had blossomed amid the chaos of battles and the calm of shared laughter, but Mal's absence had left Nikolai pining for his return.

“May I have this dance?” A delicate, soft voice asked Nikolai. He observed the girl in the blue ball gown and purple mask before shaking his head politely.

“I shall have to refuse, dear lady, but I will not be participating in this next dance,” he informed her politely, adding some regret to his voice. Which he supposed wasn’t precisely a lie since he regretted that it was not his beloved asking him to this dance. The girl pouted and left, seemingly dejected. As the evening continued, Nikolai turned down various dance partners, not wanting to dance with anyone other than his beloved. He observed the scene with a pang, deciding to stroll within the palace.

As the masquerade ball reached its crescendo, Mal sneaked into the palace unnoticed, slipping through shadows and blending into the sea of guests adorned in vibrant masks and elaborate costumes. With each step, the adrenaline coursed through Mal's veins, knowing he would soon be reunited with the man he loved. He carefully selected a fitting black masquerade mask to blend in with the crowd and further surprise his love. Finally, Mal spotted Nikolai amidst the group of elegantly dressed individuals. Nikolai was effortlessly charming the crowd as he attempted to evade the many guests, his eyes occasionally drifting to the balcony where he wished, more than anything, for Mal to appear.

As soon as Nikolai had entered the quiet hallway, Mal made his move. Approaching Nikolai from behind, he gently placed a gloved hand over his eyes. “Guess who?” He whispered tenderly with affection. 

Nikolai's heart skipped a beat, recognising that voice instantly. "Mal," he breathed, removing the hand from his eyes and turning to see his lover standing there, real and alive. The sight of Mal standing before him filled Nikolai with an overwhelming mix of emotions—relief, joy, and love.

"My king," Mal said softly, dropping to one knee in a half-serious, half-teasing manner, "I've returned from my travels across the seas to be with you."

Nikolai's eyes shimmered with tears, and he embraced Mal tightly. "I've missed you so much," he confessed, his voice barely above a whisper.

Their tender moment was interrupted by the distant sound of music, calling everyone to the dance floor. However, Mal had a different plan in mind. He led Nikolai away from the crowd and out onto the grand balcony overlooking the palace gardens. Under the soft glow of the moon and the twinkling stars, Mal finally removed the elegant black masquerade mask, revealing their face to Nikolai. "It's been too long," Mal said, cupping Nikolai's face lovingly.

"I can't believe you're here," Nikolai replied, his heart still racing with disbelief and happiness. "And I can't believe you've managed to sneak into the palace like this," Nikolai chuckled, his eyes gleaming with admiration for his daring lover.

“And look at you, all dressed up for me,” Nikolai cooed as he admired Mal’s sleek masquerade attire.

"I'd cross oceans to be with you and do anything for you to smile, my king," Mal said, a playful glint in his eyes, yet his words were sincere and truthful. A smooth alluring promise both knew was true. 

They stood together in silence for a moment, soaking in the beauty of the night and the joy of being reunited. A few moments later, Mal tenderly extended a hand towards Nikolai, an invitation to dance under the stars.

"May I have this dance, Your Majesty?" Mal asked, a gentle twinkle in his eyes as he smiled fondly.

Nikolai took Mal's hand with a smile that could light up the night sky. "You may, my love."

They swayed to the music, their bodies moving in perfect harmony. With each step, they rediscovered the joy of being in each other's arms, cherishing the stolen moments amidst the grandeur of the masquerade ball.

Mal’s eyes lightened up, giving Nikoai that rare genuine smile he reserves for moments like these. Nikolai’s heart fluttered as his sleek gloved fingers caressed Mal’s cheek gently before finding their way to his hips, pulling him closer as the other hand remained in Mal’s gentle but calloused hand. Mal hums as he guides Nikolai along the balcony, their gaze on each other never faltering. As they danced under the stars, Mal and Nikolai knew that the night belonged to them and that their love could withstand any distance or challenges life threw their way. In each other's embrace, they found solace and strength, knowing that they would always be together, no matter the tides of fate. Amid the masquerade ball at the Ravkan Palace, Mal and Nikolai rekindled their love under the watchful gaze of the stars, promising each other a lifetime of adventures and passion, come what may.

Coroika Pirate AU part 2 (?)

Alright we’re back again :D I have a bit more info on the pirate AU which I’m gonna ramble about ig 

Here is part 1 of the AU if you’d like to read that first! 

I didn’t really get a lot of other character sketches done, other than Rider--- So i guess in this post I’ll be talking about him & some other characters in this AU! :D There won’t be any drawings in this post unfortunately, just more stuff about the characters :’) 

Enjoy :D 

(the infodump is after the cut, this might be another long post lmao----) 

Rider:

I might try to make a full character thing eventually--- I just haven’t had the chance to draw it out. So, I guess I’ll post that separately :/ Anyways! 

He’s technically a part of the S4 pirates, but he’s not on board with them. He’s an ally to them, but they’re not in the same ship.

Captain of the Chartreuse Pirates, which are another band of fearsome pirates. He’s also friends with the Blue Pirates (Goggles, Bobble Hat, Headphones, Specs) 

The Chartreuse Pirates is such a cool name fr

Sworn enemies with Captain Gloves (it’s more of a rivalry between the two, nothing serious)

He’s also somewhat well known across the seas for being as strong as the S4 pirates 

So basically, he was captured by Emperor’s army (Emperor’s family rules a kingdom in this AU) and separated from his crew. He manages to escape with a few injuries. After running away for some time, he eventually collapses somewhere because of his injuries. Aloha finds him and recognizes him as Captain Rider. After asking Skull what they should do, they decided to bring him aboard since his crew was nowhere to be found.

Rider wakes up a few hours later and he freaks out because he’s in the middle of the ocean aboard Captain Skull’s ship and his crew probably thinks he died or something and now he’s probably going to actually die because Captain Skull whatever evil pirates grrr and he has no boat and he can’t swi--

Anyways, Rider tries to escape but you can’t exactly get too far with a twisted ankle. Aloha found it pretty amusing though, hysterical even. 

Mask manages to catch Rider, sits him down, and gets him to chill out. He explains what happened and a whole “we’re not gonna hurt you” spiel

Eventually the S4 helps Rider reunite with his crew and as gratitude, Rider and the S4 become allies and help each other out whenever one needs it.

Rider is trying to be a kinder person

He’s pretty good at playing cards, specifically Blackjack and Speed.

Gloves:

Captain of the Dualie Pirates, a crew of pirates known for using two weapons. Two swords or two guns-- because they’re cool like that B) 

Captain Gloves is fairly new to the whole “pirate” biz, he thinks they’re cool and wanted in on the action overseas. 

He thinks Captain Skull is cool and wants to meet him someday, although his crew is HIGHLY opposed to this (they could probably die)

He also thinks the Wireglass Pirates are cool too and wants to be friends with their captain.

His crew also HIGHLY opposes this, as they are definitely going to die if they ever cross paths with the Wireglass Pirates. 

Gloves is bummed that he can’t meet the S4 pirates, but is still hopeful he’ll run into them eventually.

He’s friends with the Blue Pirates & Captain Hachi 

He’s fiercely competitive, he doesn’t take losing very lightly.

He doesn’t have any scars of his own-- yet, but he thinks they’re cool 

Gloves is friends with Prince, and sometimes sneaks into the kingdom to visit him 

He’s rather clumsy even though he tries to look cool

Emperor & Prince: 

(I put them under the same header since there’s not much about either of them) 

Emperor’s family rules over a kingdom, Emperor is next in line for the throne and he’s still learning to be a king alongside his younger brother.

Prince often sneaks out of the palace to wander around the town square. His brother actually knows about this, but chooses not to tell their parents. 

Emperor doesn’t really like pirates, but he does know a few of them. 

Emperor is aware that Gloves sneaks in to visit Prince, but he chooses not to do anything about it since his brother seems to enjoy Captain Gloves’ company.

Prince helped Rider escape after learning Rider knew Captain Gloves. 

The Wireglass Pirates: 

Everyone knows to stay out of the Wireglass Pirates’ way, as they are some of the most powerful pirates to patrol the waters. Even the S4 pirates steer clear of them. 

They supposedly got their name from their Captain, but it’s not really known where the name came from.

The Wireglass Pirates will try to take any ship they encounter, regardless of who it is. Very few survive their raids.

There are some rumors that the Wireglass Pirates serve Emperor, which explains why he hasn’t ordered anyone to stop them. However, it could also be because a lot of sailors are absolutely terrified of them.

Ocho is thought to be a part of this crew, but nobody really knows for sure. He’s mostly found away from the crew and hanging out by himself.

Ocho sometimes interacts with the S4 and Captain Rider. 

The S4 could probably beat them, but they don’t want to risk trying.

The Wireglass Pirates are also in possession of these things called “Black Labels” which temporarily disable weapons. But only the Captain is in possession of these. 

“Black Labels” are illegal and supposed to be outlawed in the seas. Not a lot of pirate crews use them. 

If Black Labels were stuck onto a pirate, they are unable to use their special ability for a little bit. 

aaaaand, I think I’ll just end the infodump here in case it gets too long to read :’] Thank you for reading! :D

What's that? Five whole fingers? Can it be...

Yep, I have finished the first Glove of the Reunited Kingdom! Now I just need to rearrange the front/back panels on the chart to knit it all in reverse for the left hand and then...cast on again and get ready to complain about the next two inches of corrugated ribbing. :-D The hassle is worth it though, for a glove that fits like...well, like a glove. Um. Anyway it fits just right, and the double-knit fingers should be durable and warm. And the fingertip star is indeed very adorable. ⭐

Biological Information:

        Gender: ĕ̴̢̢̤̮̤͙͇͔̆̆̔͊͂̔̄̓̏̀̔͘r̷̛̭̭͙̤̜̫̩̘̂̀́̂̀̄̉̋̿͑̈͘ŗ̷̞͔̤̲̺̖̜̙͓͍̭͒̊̈́͆̀ǫ̵̞̬̘̘̪̩̺̩̟̳̋̀̒̒̓͘ŕ̵̨̹̠̹̱̗̭̲͎̥̯̐̎̽̍̆̎̑͑͊͛̉ ̷̭̓̇̇̇͊̾́̊͂̇͠4̸̢̝̪̣͓̈́̌̂̓͒͂͂0̵̨̡̲̝͉̝͎͍̤̱͓̮͉͖̾4̶̹̠͙̼̲̦͙̯̙͈̎̓̔͌̃̆͐͊̑̚͝͝

        Race: Human

        Birthday: 14/05

        Fodlan birthday: 14th of the Harpstring Moon

        Age: 9 before timeskip - 14 post-timeskip

        Relatives: younger brother to Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd, Edelgard von Hresvelg , Adel von Hresvelg, Aline von Hresvelg

        Nationality: Faerghan, Agarthan, Adrestian

        Hometown: Fhirdiad

        Residence: Garreg Mach Monastery

        Factions: Imperial army/TWSITD (formerly)

        Occupations: gremory, little sibling, researcher

Backstory:

Early Life/Academy phase:

As the name indicates, he's related to both the Hresvelg and Blaiddyd families, though he is actually the son of Lambert and Patricia and possesses a crest of Blaiddyd. During the tragedy of Duscur, he was in his mother's carriage and got abducted by TWSITD: but instead of outright killing the kid, they decided to raise him as one of their own, as a way to have a royal replacement with a semblance of legitimacy in case Edelgard turned against them too soon and they had to get rid of her. However, even though he was forced to do terrible things at the hands of TWSITD (namely experiments) from a very young age and was essentially brainwashed by them, he never forgot his older brother, and deeply wished to be reunited with him. During his eight/nine years amidst their ranks, he basically became a child soldier, as well as good at magic: however, he also suffered a major injury under mysterious circumstances which left his right arm badly burnt. As a result, TWSITD came up with an artificial relic, his glove, which channels the power of his Crest and boosts his magical attacks instead of his physical ones- his favorite spell being an altered version of dark spikes (basically the only one he’ll use).

Timeskip Phase:

A little after the start of the war, Edelgard manages to learn about her little brother's existence and reveals to him the manipulation he's been subjected to his whole life. Though still in the clutches of TWSITD, who he now really wants to see dead, he sides with his newfound family (Edelgard and the other Hresvelg siblings), never giving up the hope to see his older brother Dimitri again- and trying very hard to prevent him and Edelgard from killing each other. Along the way, he learns again what it is like to just be a kid-and to be a sibling.  

War Phase:

During the war, Loki sometimes fights along his siblings on the battlefield (as support), mainly when there is a chance of his older brother Dimitri being present. He spends a lot of time trying to convince him to join Edelgard’s side, to no avail, before he understands he can control neither of his siblings’ actions  and he will never have the family he wants; as a last ditch effort, though, he will save Dimitri from death in routes where he would usually die.

In the meantime, he tries to get his hand on as much info about TWSITD’s victims and the experiments they went through, and tries to develop ways to heal them- or at the very least, honor their memory and find the families of the deceased.

Post-Canon:

After TWSITD are defeated, Loki takes the time to heal and takes the radical decision to chop his right arm off and start wearing a prosthesis. He also abandons his relic-lite glove, since he wants to turn that page of his life and doesn’t intend to fight anymore. Later on, he moves to Faerghus with Aline, where they help rebuild the Kingdom and he becomes a teacher at the Fhirdiad Magic Academy. In parallel, he puts in a lot of work in order to help the Agarthan people recover from TWSITD’s influence and find their place within the rest of Fodlanese society, as well as promote the Agarthan culture (I refuse to think that all Agarthans are evil after 1,000 years; my personal headcanon is that Agartha is an authoritarian regime ruled by TWSTID. Furthermore, I really want to see an underground light festival where everyone wears makeup inspired by the constellations and stars. I can do what I want.)

Personality:

     Loki is a very smart kid, but his life experience has led him to become very distrusting of adults and other people in general. As a rule, he is a pretty sarcastic person and is cold to people he does not feel uncomfortable with, to the point that he often lashes out at them undeserved. However, he is also someone who deeply wants to do good, and is sweet and caring towards those he trusts- as well as a massive sucker for hugs.

His gender expression, but also his makeup, is a way for him to express his personality; he starts using more colors post-canon as he is more and more at peace with his life.

As a result of his trauma, he suffers from selective mutism; he also hates having blood on his hands, and has a knee-jerk reaction to having anything slightly dirty or reminiscent of blood on himself.

Gameplay:

it's better for everyone's sanity if i don't try to do stats i know nothing about ; but his class is Gremory. He excels in Science, and his magical attack is by far his highest stat; he is decent in faith and in magical defense, however he absolutely sucks at everything else. His physical defense is six feet under, further impeded by the fact that his right arm is an obvious weak point for any enemy.

Recruitment:

Since he doesn’t appear until post-timeskip, he isn’t recruitable.

Gift List:

Plushies are a sure hit.

Meal List:

I’m guessing Agarthan alimentation is pretty different from the reste of Fodlan’s alimentation, so he keeps expanding his tastes as time goes on, although he might sometimes have a knee-jerk reaction to it. He loves lemonade though.

Lost Items:

Balm: a half-used balm, the kind youd use to treat a bad burn.

Sketchbook: a sketchbook written in an unrecognizable alphabet. It contains a lot of anatomical sketches.

White glove: a glove that reminds you of the one Edelgard used to wear at the Academy.

Quotes:

In The Monastery:

Choir Practice:

I don’t know the lyrics to that song.

Cooking:

I can’t do anything that will strain my right hand, but otherwise, I can help.

Counselor:

I hate to admit it, but I have a very strained relationship with someone I care a lot about. I wish he would listen to me and see where I stand. How can I go about it ?

Dining Hall:

With Aline: Thank you for insisting I try this. It’s delicious !

With Edelgard : One day, I’ll take you to see the street stalls in Agartha. The food there is to die for! 

With Adel: I’m glad we didn’t have to cook this.

Gift:

That’s… I love it. Thank you. 

Neutral: Thanks.

Disliked: Why did you ever think I’d want this ?

Lost Item:

Not theirs: I don’t recognize it, I’m sorry.

Theirs: Oh, thank you ! I’ve been searching everywhere for this.

Tea Party:

General: Thank you for the invitation. I really appreciate it.

Favorite Tea: Chamomile tea

Favorite Teas: “Did you know this was Dima’s favorite tea back when were kids ? I have to admit, it’s the main reason that it’s my own favorite.”

Observe: Please stop that. This is uncomfortable.

End: This was… genuinely nice. I really hope we’ll do this again someday.

Group Tasks: 

Stable Duty (with Edelgard):

Loki: I’m not sure I want to come any closer.

Edelgard : These horses are nothing to be afraid of. Here, give me your hand- I’ll show you. 

Loki: … Oh. They’re so… soft. Haha ! 

Weeding (with Loki):

Loki: I'm not sure I want to do this. 

Aline : Here. I'll show you how to do it.

Loki: Nope, nope, I don't want to be covered in dirt. I'll stick around as… moral support.

Sky Watch (with Adel):

Adel: Hold on tight, princesse ! 

Loki: I trust you and Mirabelle not to drop me to my death.

Adel: I’ll always be there to catch you.

Results:

Good: What did you expect ?

Battle Quotes:

When selected: Alright.

War phase:

Full health: Let’s get this over with.

Medium health: I’m not sure how long I’ll manage…

Low health: I don’t have a choice !

Critical:

War phase:

Don't underestimate me ! 

 Get away from me ! 

 For all of those who never had a chance ! 

 Don’t stand in my way ! 

Facing a named enemy:

Facing Dimitri : Dimitri ! Please, listen to me !

Against someone they don’t know: … Who are you again ?

Facing TWSITD: It’s about time you paid for everything you’ve done.

Against Thales/Arundel: Uncle-... I’ll kill you.

War phase, defeating an enemy:

Oof…

I’m out of here.

 I warned you.

 …That's so much blood.

 I'm sorry…

 It’s time they got what they deserved.

Ally Defeats Enemy:

Thank you ! 

Wow… That was impressive.

 Do you need assistance ?

  Stay careful !

 Let’s make it together.

That was, for lack of other words, badass. 

Retreat Quote:

War Retreat: I need to get out of here. I can’t die now !

[volskayadottxt]

Lifeweaver, agriculture, and capital's ownership of human labor

Like all things, this will be messy. But I want to write down my thoughts before I can no longer parse them correctly. All of this analysis is pretty basic, just a heads up.

A conflict in Lifeweaver's backstory that I like is the matter of biolight's ownership. Namely, who owns this novel technology? Niran, the mind behind it, or Vishkar, the company whose resources technically allowed for its creation? This is actually the second time Vishkar has been embroiled in such a issue (the first being the company's claim on the sound technology created by Lucio's father, which Lucio eventually stole).

It resonates with me in two ways. Firstly: as an agricultural scientist with colleagues whose work is funded for my corporate-backed grants, I recognize that they have no copyright ownership of their work. It's part of the contract between research lab and corporate entity--we get funds, they get findings. These are (in practice) funds required for essential research (we all need food to eat) but not provided by the capitalist state (despite our university being public). After the work is completed, the partner company decide how we present our data to the broader scientific community (which most of us scientists agree is a Very Bad practice).

The conversation between Niran and Angela reminds me of those I've had with other academics about how much of our work (and what kind of work we do) is both dictated and beholden to the interests of the capitalist class. Of course, we can't create a cool glove and run away to a Gay Underwater Mansion to avoid lawsuits.

The second way it resonates with me is just how much this applies to the gaming industry as well. When it was announced that Chris Metzen would be returning as a creative consultant for Warcraft, there was much excitement about reuniting him with his baby. Legally, he had no control over the IP once he retired. And of course this applies to all former Overwatch devs.

I wonder if this element of Niran's story is reflecting the contradictions Team 4 must feel with regards to their lack of ownership over the Overwatch IP, especially when there is pressure to leave the company. In 2023, you need to have very strong feelings for Overwatch to work on it. The bad faith take would be that such a storyline was accidental, but I don't think so. History tells us that engaging in class struggle (or being on the receiving end of class warfare) radicalizes people. Perhaps this is an expression of the contradictions Team 4's writers are painfully aware of, but unable to address in the existing economic system. Capitalism is unable to resolve this contradiction because it is the source of said contradiction--creative work cannot be owned by those whose labor produced it when the profit motive is in play.

Of course, there is an irony to be had that this storyline is presented in a AAA, always-online, live-service title at all. But the same could be said for Valorant's subplot about Kingdom, or Apex Legends' backdrop of capitalist-controlled bloodsport. Should creatives under the thumb of capital attempt to explore these ideas at all? I would say no, that art would objectively be lesser for it. If anything, I think it reveals what Team 4 is thinking post July 2021--how what they create has been influenced by the class struggle they engage in. I am curious to see what they will make in the future.

Scene I did my OCs in my AU, for their designs and anything, I thought it would be fair if each of the Mario Characters a redesign in my version. Some I design them will be the same but change it up a little bit.

Bio: Wario was born alongside with his brother Waluigi. Their Father was the brother of the Jumpman to Mario and Luigi’s father and Jumpman became uncle to Wario Bros. Wario decided that he would challenge Mario to earn his uncle’s respect, but everything Wario tries to do, Mario would always win which lead to him becoming a selfish, rude and greedy person to this day. During that Waluigi didn’t care about earning the family respect as long as he stick to his game on tennis. Wario mostly likely get into a prank war and arguments with Mara.

By the time he reached adulthood, Warios parents kicked him and Waluigi out and had to rent to an cheap house. This lead to Wario to leave Brooklyn and ran across the country striking a treasure hunt and savagely fought weakling and pirates. When he return to Brooklyn, he was getting bored and tried after the adventure and settled down and gained an idea after watching a best video game commercial. Decided to make the best ones ever and called his gang. He tries to get Waluigi to join but he rather refuse.

Wario and Waluigi would ended up getting into a heated fight and would ended up sucked into a World of Mushrooms and Koopas and were separated from each other while, Wario gained to survive and found an island to raised an empire. Wario would later learn that Waluigi was at the Mushroom Kingdom with his cousins Mario and Luigi. Wario knows Mario was coming for him, now knowing this day would come. After Mario singal handed taken out his entire army and defeat Wario. They reunited with Waluigi and Wario, Wario apolgised about to everyone but still gives everyone a hard time essepally the Mario Bros.

Wario would continue with his wackiness adventures, Getting New Allies, Rivalry with Lulu and started Dating with Mona, He was not happy when Mara showed up but willing to help out with her cousins training even if it takes of putting her into his own mind games.

Her black hair is pulled into a high ponytail tied by a purple band with silver spikes wrapped around the base. She wears dark makeup consisting of black eyeliner and lipstick, which makes her sky-blue eyes stand out. Her bangs are brushed to the right side, partly obscuring her eye. While hard to see behind her hair, she wears a set of silver stud earrings.

For Evangeline's clothes, she wears fitted black jeans with a dark leather belt with a matching pouch that rests on her right hip. She has a dark green shirt, a deep purple trench coat and black high-heeled boots with silver chains hanging from her ankles. Lastly, she wears black, fingerless leather gloves, a silver engagement ring and her gold wedding band on her left hand, and a silver necklace with an amethyst stone in the middle surrounded by four thistle flowers, each flower representing a member of her family.

Per her suspect appearance in The Brave and the Dead, it is known that Evangeline eats Halo-halo, has visited the Caribbean and knows electronics.

Synopsis

Evangeline Clayton is a Scottish blacksmith and leatherworker married to Cedric Clayton. Together they own a mansion in Cheltenham, England, where they raise their three children: Eliza, Elliot and Esther. The couple often travels for work to meet with clients and occasionally deliver merchandise.

She made her debut in The Brave and The Dead after her Highland Dirk was discovered on a crime scene. It was revealed that the victim insulted her skills as a mother, but ultimately, Evangeline was found innocent of the murder.

During the additional investigation, she and Cedric confessed to their connection to SOMBRA. They told Anders and Carmen that their children's lives were threatened, and if they disobeyed SOMBRA or tried to leave, the organization would kill their kids.

After once again proving their innocence to the Bureau, the couple began working towards regaining their children's trust and love. Evangeline knows that the road to her family's recovery will be long and hard, but with Cedric and their children at her side, she knows a better life and future awaits them.

Evangeline made a small cameo alongside her family when they reunited with Elliot in New York to celebrate the Bureau's victory over SOMBRA. She was relieved to see her son was okay after everything he'd been through with his team. But even more so, she was happy to hear that he would come home with them once the Bureau finished their work. After spending so much time dealing with SOMBRA controlling her and Cedric, she looked forward to spending time with their kids as a family like they always wished to be.

Story Information

First appeared: The Brave and the Dead

Trivia

I got her and Cedric's names from the parents Cedric and Evangeline Brown from the first Nanny McPhee movie

Her style varies from Gothic to punk

She is also a big fan of Steampunk

She suffers from sudden migraines and night terrors since being beaten into a coma by SOMBRA

She also has muscle weakness in her left leg and uses a cane she custom-built for herself on her bad days

She always smells like smoke and leather because of her job

She started going by the name Evan Blackwood because people didn't take her seriously as a blacksmith because she was a woman

She gets a sense of smug satisfaction when people are shocked to find out she's the legendary Evan Blackwood

Even though most now know her real identity, she still uses the name by habit

Her favourite kind of present to receive are handmade. She prefers these over store bought because it shows how much love the giver put into the gift. It's why she treasures all of the cards and little gifts her children have made her over the stuff people have bought for her
