Braid and flowers

tags: Siegfried centric. I just really wanted a soft Sieg with flowers sob. Hinted at the end Siegfried x reader/danchou.

When Siegfried arrived at the Dragon Knights's meeting chatter stopped all of a sudden. Lancelot looks at him with wide eyes while Vane is smiling at him. Percival looks like he wants to say something, the annoyance is clearly dripping from his expression, his nose curled up like a kitty but he decides to click his tongue and go back to the topic they were previously discussing about.

So what caused these reactions?

It's because of Siegfried new hairstyle; a soft braid expertly intertwined with fresh flowers. Some strands fall free on the man's face making Siegfried look ethereal. It's a look that suits him, not that it is hard when you look like an Adonis the second you wake up, but it enhances his beauty. He talks with the other knights about the current expenses and how to improve the other soldiers' training not minding the other knights staring a bit too long his hair.

"Let's take a break!" Vane proposes when the sun starts setting, already pulling toward the table fresh baked goods he brought from home. Nobody has the heart to refuse, not even Percival that usually prefers to finish the job and just then take a break. Vane is also the first one to question the elephant in the room for the relief of his colleagues.

"Oh this? One of the trainees made it, he told me there is a celebration in town-" Siegfried starts to explain how a harvin trainee wouldn't stop looking at his hair so Siegfried asked him if there was anything wrong.

---

"N-No. Excuse me for staring, it's just…" The young boy looked down, the fringe of his bowl cut long enough to cover his black eyes. "In town, there is a celebration for a holiday that is really important to my family-" The harvin says, fidgeting with his fingers "Where I come from everyone has long hair so we can braid them for this holiday, but I had to cut them before coming here."

Siegfried nods at the kid's words, but still misses the point of the guy's stare. "I was staring because I miss my long hair. I know it's stupid, I can't even go there-"

"You want to braid mine?" It's Siegfried's curt question, voice firm as always. The harvin finally looks back at him, eyes sparkling with joy, but his Adam's apple bobs with worry. "You don't have to be anxious, I don't mind if you braid my hair, just-" Siegfried sits down, giving his back to the kid "Don't brush too hard, my scalp is sensitive." His honey-colored irises are soft, brown long eyelashes making his eyes look sweeter. There is no real bite in his voice trying not to worry the kid more. Siegfried sees the kid nodding before feeling his small fingers combing as best as he could Siegfried's soft hair. There were some knots, after all the knight doesn't spend too much of his time on his hair, but the braiding was more or less painless.

"Let me add the finishing touch!" The man looks behind, noticing all the flowers the kid picked up.

"Are you going to put them in my hair?"

"Yes. Is it a problem? Excuse me for not-"

"Can you please add a sunflower?" The harvin widened his big eyes before nodding and smiling at the knight's request. And after the finishing touch, Siegfried was free and the harvin looked relaxed.

The kid thanked him again and again before going back to his training. Siegfried smiled seeing him walking away, happy to have brought peace the the trainee's troubled heart.

---

"That's why I have my hair braided like this. It looks good right?" Siegfried turns toward the big mirror in the room. He has never been vain but he honestly thinks the kid did an amazing job. The flowers never dropped from their places, adding light to his brown hair. They should train together to reciprocate the favor.

"You look beautiful Siegfried." Lancelot replies, there is no mirth in his voice, just genuine appreciation.

"Yeah! It softens your features and shows off your sweet side. Don't you agree Percival?" Vane adds with a bit more enthusiasm. Percival doesn't say anything at first, lost in thoughts while drinking his cup of tea.

"Percival?" Vane asks again. This time he is able to pull the prince out of his thoughts.

"Yes, you look really nice." He brushes it off, eyes showing his mind still hasn't connected with them.

Because Percival knows there is no festival in town. He is sure of it. But decides not to say anything, the lie of the harvin is clearly harmless. The red hair smiles before sipping again from his cup, happy his teacher still hasn't lost his humanity.

"Let's go back to work." Percival orders and the other knights' nod, already too much time lost chit-chatting. Siegfried agrees with them, one hand caressing his hair, feeling the textures and bumps of the hairstyle.

He isn't sure he will be able to go to town later, but Siegfried would like to try this style again when the captain visits them.

He'd love to hear their opinion and maybe spend a bit of time together in peace, surrounded by the same flowers adorning his hair.

Little detail I didn't add in the drabble: The harvin grew up in an all women family. He got taught early how to braid hair and used to do that to relieve stress but now with short hair he doesn't know how to push out the negativity! The festival was all an excuse but he was too worried people would insult him for having a "female" hobby or just...having worries or anxieties like a normal human being. Don't worry next time harvin kid! No real knight would do that!💪🏻

Changing Forms

series: gbf pairing: Athena/Medusa word count: 1552 rating: G summary: Late nights when they're about to doze off are the only important time to ask questions such as these.

[AO3]

a "hey babe would you still love me if I turned into a worm" fic

"—thena? Athena? Hey!"

Athena blinks awake, blinking several more times as she comes out of her light doze. Her senses go into alert—being woken up suddenly never means anything good—but there doesn't appear to be any immediate threat. At least, Medusiana, still slumbering behind them, hasn't moved at all. She looks around for a moment before remembering exactly where she is and looks down to her lap. Medusa, having taken Glafkos' usual spot by laying her head down in Athena's lap, is tilting her head back now to look up at her. The tip of her tail taps against the grass in a slow rhythm, a sign of her contentment.

"Oh, you really were sleeping," Medusa finally says and moves her head back down. "Never mind then."

"No, no," Athena shakes her head and though a yawn comes out of her, she keeps her eyes open, rubbing at them. "I hadn't meant to. I was looking up at the stars and you know how the skydwellers say that they count the stars when they have trouble sleeping? I wondered if it was truly possible so I tried and—"

"You fell asleep."

"—I fell asleep—yes." Athena smiles sheepishly. Medusa tilts her head back again and smirks at her.

"Heh! Just like you to do something like that." She's amused though Athena's not sure why.

"Is something the matter, though, Medusa?" Athena asks instead. "If it was important to wake me up for it."

"Yeah, sorry about that!" Medusa says with a huff, looking away from her now.

"Forgive me, I did not mean to fault you." Athena reaches over, patting Medusa's cheek with her hand. Medusa huffs again and still doesn't look at her but the tip of her tail is furiously moving back and forth now. The sight of it makes Athena smile, resting her hand at the crown of Medusa's head now.

Medusa finally shifts back to her original position after some time, muttering something that Athena can't quite make out. Perhaps it is because of moments like these that makes their tongue loose. It is the only reason as to why Medusa would suddenly look up at her and stare at her and not even look away when Athena returns her gaze. There's moments where Athena knows she is being watched but when she catches her gaze, Medusa hurriedly looks away and huffs, as if Athena was not meant to see her. At these times, she trains herself to keep from meeting Medusa's eyes but Medusa had been staring a bit too intently for Athena to ignore.

"Medusa? Is... something really the matter?" Athena asks again. It must obviously be something important on her mind. Athena steels herself, ready for lend Medusa her aid whether in listening to her woes or to offer advice.

"Hey, what would you do if I became a snake?"

Athena blinks. And blinks again. She furrows her brow. "If I had heard you right... you are asking me what I would do if you became a snake? Do you mean to ask if you were always a snake? Or if you were always one? In the latter situation though, if your snake form is all that I have known, then I wouldn't know of any other form then—"

"What—why are you making this even more complicated than it has to be?" Medusa frowns at her. "I just meant what if I turned into one right now!"

"Right... now?" Athena thinks to herself. There are many, many factors and possibilities to consider in this event...

"—ey! Hey! Do you really need that much time to think about it?" Medusa's pulled herself up now, sitting on the ground next to her with a frown.

"When you say you've just turned into a snake... I am merely considering all the outcomes. Would you be as big as Medusiana? Or would you remain the same size as you are now? Or would you be smaller instead? Ah, and your hair as well, would you also have snakes on top of your head—ah, do you mean to ask if you were a regular snake and not a primal beast? Or a snake primal beast—"

"Gah! You're overthinking it now!" Medusa glares at her. Athena closes her mouth.

"... none of those?" Athena finally says, her brow furrowing deeper.

"Nothing complicated like that!" Medusa crosses her arms with a huff. "I was just having a conversation with Yuni the other day and she was wondering if she should go back to being a dragon since she has trouble keeping her feet on the floor. I think if she transformed into a dragon in front of people, she'd just end up scaring everyone!"

"But we have Vyrn, do we not? And..." Athena blinks, suddenly coming to a realization as she counts on her hands, "we also have... a surprising amount of dragons on the crew."

"... huh, now that you say that." Medusa seems to come to the same realization as her, her eyes widening as well. But she shakes her head afterward. "Wait, no, that isn't the point here! I just meant if she were doing something like she was in the middle of conversation with someone and she just suddenly turned into a dragon! That kind of thing!"

"... oh." But now that confuses Athena. "So you mean to say if you had that same ability? To shift between your form now and a real snake?"

"Huh? Wait." Medusa pauses then, now thinking to herself. "I guess yeah, if I could just turn back and forth between a snake and this form!"

"With that clarification then... I would still enjoy your company regardless of what form you take. After all, what you become does not change the memories we've made."

Medusa whips her head toward Athena, mouth falling open. Athena blinks back at her, unaware of what she might say to have caused that sort of reaction.

"That's!" Medusa covers her face suddenly. Her snakes form and hiss though not angrily from what it seems like to Athena. Agitated, is what she would describe them. Athena has learned that there are certain things that embarrass Medusa though she still has yet to figure out their reason. Speaking so candidly though seems to be one of them. Athena has no bone nor wish for deceit though when it comes to her feelings. She thought Medusa would appreciate her honesty but sometimes, she can't tell.

Despite Medusa muttering to herself though, there's a few snakes slithering in the air toward Athena, drawn instinctively toward her warmth. Athena holds out her hand, watches as they reach her fingers and begin to coil themselves around her hand. She runs a thumb over one as it moves past her, tongue flicking against her skin—oh, that's brought a thought to her now.

"There is one detriment though, now that I think about it."

Medusa makes some kind of muffled sound behind her hands before hesitantly looking up, eyes narrowed. "What is it?"

"If you were to transform into a snake so suddenly," Athena reaches over, tugging free one of Medusa's hands, "as snakes do not have limbs, I would no longer be able to hold your hand like this."

Medusa seems to freeze. She looks from Athena to their hands and then back up at Athena again. She stares, and Athena offers her a light smile—oh, that seems to have done it, Medusa sputtering as the color spreads across her face and up to the tips of her ears. Her tail is lashing furiously in the grass, a sign of her agitation.

But Medusa has not pulled away her hand.

Athena allows her smile to grow, threading their fingers together now. Medusa makes another sound, something that sounds like a squeak, and the color on her face deepens, almost as red as Athena's armor, and she can even see the color extending down toward her neck. If Athena must confess, it's slightly tempting to see just how deep Medusa's flush can go.

"I-I guess it's good that I can't do that then, huh!" Medusa finally says. She's very pointedly looking away from Athena though. It's just a little funny to Athena, because Medusa is the one who's clamping down on her hand, like the jaws of a snake.

"I suppose so, but I would still like your company either way," Athena says, and Medusa makes something that sounds like another squeak. "Hm, what if the same were to happen to me? If I were able to somehow transform into another form."

"... you?" Medusa looks back over at her. "What would you even want to be?"

"An owl," Athena answers immediately.

"... of course. I don't know what else I expected," Medusa mutters with a shake of her head. She huffs afterward. "Hold on though, owls don't have hands either! A wing isn't the same as a hand!"

"Oh! You're right. Then, I am glad that we currently take this form then," Athena finishes, running the back of her thumb over Medusa's hand. Medusa makes another sound like she's disgusted or displeased but her tail's settled down into a slower rhythm rather than the agitated lashing of before.

"... yeah, I guess so," she finally says with a sigh, still holding tight to Athena's hand.

A friend of mine has a cat who's probably the same breed as Ewiyar is supposed to be, Norwegian Forest Cat, I've heard that said somewhere before and yeah. Yeah. You can flood those babies for days. They're like 80% fluff

The cat is such a cuddly sweetheart too, but she can get pushy when she wants attention and you're not giving it. And she's a pretty big cat. Just size-wise, compared to other breeds

that sure tracks omg.

and just the way you describe your friend's kitty, it truly is peak Ewiyar. Granblue really are meowxperts to have figured out exactly how their cat goddess would behave.

This is adorable. thank you for sharing.

HAPPY TWO YEARS WTF

hey. so. hi. it's been two years since I officially gave rackam a perpetuity ring in gbf and since I'm Very Normal about him, I'm celebrating!

Enjoy this fic, featuring two of my friends' granblue OCs and a whole lotta fluff <3 (ignore the fact that our anniversary was the 24th and I’m posting this on the 25th)

It wasn't supposed to go like this, Mullin mused to themself, watching their husband walk around the room. No, not really. We weren't destined for anything, yet…

They lock eyes with Rackam, who, from across the room, throws them a reassuring smile and a wink. Since it was their anniversary, Rackam had deigned to wear a nicer suit - that is, something nicer than what he would usually wear. Mullin hadn’t expected it, so it was a, uh… - the captain tried not to stare at the muscles in his back - it was a nice surprise, to say the least. Mullin couldn’t help but smile back at Rackam.

…Yet we ended up here, didn't we? The captain finishes their thoughts, taking a drink from the cocktail that was in their hands. Ladiva's bar - Raduga - was always busy on an evening, but this was special. Mullin continued to watch the crew members as they flitted about, memories resurfacing.

Six months ago…

Mullin walked about the woods on the island of Zinkenstill, their home, and current lodgings for the night. The Grandcypher crew was between missions - both a welcome blessing… and a curse. Mullin was currently lost in their thoughts on their upcoming anniversary, with absolutely nothing in mind.

The captain, usually so stoic, was lost. Their anniversary with Rackam was quickly approaching, and they wanted to do something nice for him. Mullin had been lost in thought for a while now, wandering aimlessly around the forest to try and clear their head.

"Boo!"

“What the-“ Mullin nearly jumped out of their skin, quickly drawing their sword from its hilt. A figure had popped out of the bushes just ahead of Mullin - ah. It was Devi. They resheathed their sword, peering down at the small primal beast. Devi’s hair was long, tangled with the fall leaves from the bushes. Mullin sighed and began picking a few pieces out of her hair.

“Hey, Devi. What’re you doing here?”

Devi, who was pouting at Mullin messing with her hair, brightened up: “I’m here to help you!”

“Help me?” Mullin said, a little skeptical.

“Yep! You’re stressed about things again, aren’t ya?” Devi replied, shaking her head free from Mullin’s careful fingers. “I can tell. You were up all night last night, and didn’t even nag Gran and Djeeta about their bedtimes.”

Mullin huffed and crossed their arms. “They’re adults, they can take care of themselves. Besides, you know I have insomnia. It’s not like I’d be getting any sleep if I wasn’t stressed.”

“Yeah, I guess…” There was a mischievous twinkle in Devi’s eyes. “Buuut, if you weren’t stressed, you definitely wouldn’t have turned down Rackam’s request last night.”

“Okaaay, that’s enough out of you!” Mullin said, their ears turning pink. “Our anniversary is coming up, that’s all.”

Devi laughed and the two continued along their walk, discussing ideas for the upcoming event. Mullin did, however, get sleep that night.

One year ago…

“‘Congrats, Mew.” Azazel said, placing a gift into Mullin’s hands. “Surprised it’s been a year already.”

Mullin looked up at the Draph - something that they were used to, after all this time - and smiled.

“Thanks, Zazzy.”

“When will you drop that nickname…?” Azazel grumbled a little to himself, but Mullin was busying themself with opening the present. It was a ring, a golden band with an etching on the inside. Mullin peered at it closer, and nearly dropped it.

“Azazel! What is this?”

“…’s yours. It was given to me by my father and… you can give it to Rackam.”

“Azazel, I can’t— this is too much,” Mullin said, cradling the ring in their palm. “Besides, why would I give it to Rackam?”

“Aren’t ya getting married?” Azazel said, effortlessly, like it wasn’t a huge decision for him.

Mullin nearly dropped the ring again, as if it was too hot to the touch: “Azazel!”

“Quit yellin’ my name, Mew…” The older captain grumbled again, but patted Mullin’s head. “You know when it’ll be a good time. Promise.”

Two years ago…

It was a night really like any other. The cool autumn breeze blew across the deck of the Grandcypher once more, a signal of the turning seasons. Mullin leaned across the railing of the airship, inhaling a deep breath, trying to calm their nerves. It had been a little over a year since they began their relationship, but it didn’t mean their nerves were calmed.

They turned the ring box over and over in their hands, a nervous tick that had recently developed. Mullin could practically hear Djeeta’s words in their head now, like “If you don’t do it now, it’ll never happen!” and “You’ll be more surprised than you think,” whatever that meant. They straightened out their suit, in an attempt to look more nonchalant, when they heard approaching footsteps.

“Woah, is tonight my lucky night or somethin’?” Rackam said, sneaking an arm around Mullin’s waist. The captain slid the ring box into their pocket, hoping he hadn’t noticed. Mullin shook their head, a shy smile creeping onto their face.

“Mm, it depends. Do you like the outfit?” Mullin turned to fully look at Rackam, but they couldn’t finish any of their thoughts - Rackam was also wearing a suit, one that was a deep blue color. It nearly took their breath away, but Mullin held their composure.

They were face to face now, noses practically touching. Rackam’s hand was still on Mullin’s waist; it squeezed ever-so-slightly. Despite being together for so long, everything always felt new. Mullin could feel their hands shake from their nerves.

“I certainly do feel a way about the outfit, if that’s what you’re meanin’.” Rackam said, a teasing tone to his voice. Mullin laughed, moving their hand to his chest.

“And I feel a way about your suit, if that makes you feel any better. What’s the reason for dressing up?”

There was then a distinct shift in the air as Mullin asked the question. Rackam seemed to stiffen; Mullin’s hands shook a bit harder.

“A-Ah, well…”

“It’s okay, really,” Mullin continued, trying to dissipate the tension, “There doesn’t have to be a reason, right? Just a night where we… we both dress up nice and…”

The captain trailed off, distinctly aware of everything around them. Oh, oh no. Did I mess up? Does he know? He’s not saying anything… maybe I should just ask? But what if he says no?

“…And here I was, thinkin’ I could sweep you off your feet for once.” Rackam said, quietly. “But it seems like we were both thinking the same thing, weren’t we?”

…So we’re just both in love. Mullin thought, visibly relaxing: “You figured it out?”

“Well…” Rackam began.

“Wait- no! Let me.” Mullin interjected, taking a step back. “Rackam…”

“Yes, captain?”

There it was. That reverent devotion in his voice that, for the longest time, Mullin could never place. Now they could; it felt like coming home. It felt like belonging somewhere, to someone. They slowly got down on one knee, hands still trembling:

“Will you marry me?”

Rackam smiled, then proceeded to also get on one knee, like something out of a play they had watched years ago: “Only if you marry me.”

The captain smiled at the helmsman. They didn’t have to reply; the other knew the answer.

Yes. A thousand times, yes. I’ll stay by your side.

Present Day…

"Now what's got you all zoned out, captain?" The nickname of many years brings Mullin back from their thoughts. Rackam, who had spotted Mullin at the bar, had walked over at some point without them noticing.

"Oh, helmsman," Mullin replies in kind, the familiar word falling from their mouth, "I was just thinking about… us."

"Us?" Rackam quirks a brow, a small smile playing on his lips. Mullin tries not to stare.

"Mhm. How many years has it been now…?"

"Oh, don't give me that. You made all that fuss to give me something nice for our two year anniversary and now you're tellin' me you don't remember?" Rackam says, leaning in closer to occupy Mullin's space. They laugh and take another sip from their long-abandoned cocktail.

It was Rackam's turn to try and not stare as the liquid slipped past their lips. He clears his throat and glances away.

"I'm only teasing, of course. I remember. I remember asking you as if it was only yesterday." Mullin finally replies, holding their hand (and wedding ring) up to the dim light.

"It really should've been the other way around, shouldn't it?" Rackam is leaning against the bar counter now, facing the slowly disappearing crowd.

"Mm, what difference does it make? We're happy and not…" Mullin trails off, suddenly a little embarrassed. "Well. We're not avoiding anything anymore."

"'Avoiding anything', huh…" Rackam muses, stealing another glance over at Mullin. He had been watching them the entire night, unsure of how to approach the idea of… well, making their party a bit more private. Mullin's outfit left little to his imagination, and he was damned if he would not take advantage.

Brushing away that thought, Rackam continued to look over at Mullin. Their hair was tied into a neat bun, a few stray lavender strands rebelling against the hairpins. The helmsman, now not shy in his affections, reached over and tucked it behind their ears.

As he did so, he watched as Mullin's ears turned slightly pink whenever he touched them. You would think they would be used to it by now, Rackam thought, relishing in the idea that the captain - his captain - still got flustered around him. Gods, they're adorable.

"Rackam…?" Mullin's voice broke his thoughts. Rackam had unknowingly left his hand along their ear, his fingers tracing the shape.

"Ah- sorry." He pulled his hand away, but not missing the red flush that had spilled onto Mullin's cheeks and nose.

"It's quite alright." They replied, finishing their drink. There were now lipstick marks on the glass. "It looks like the party is dwindling. Shall we go?"

Mullin stood up, their heels clicking against the floor. Their dress shifted as they did so, one of the shoulder straps beginning to slide down. Rackam nodded, moving to stand next to them - for extra measure, he placed his hand on the small of their back.

"I'd be honored, Captain." He said, his voice low.

Mullin laughed quietly at his formality, and the two ascended to the deck of the Grandcypher. Perhaps there was more in store for the rest of the night.

Annon-Guy: What was your history on DLC characters in fighting games? Think they're okay or not. Take Makoto, Valkenhayn and Platinum from BlazBlue Continuum Shift as those three are notable examples as the first DLC Characters in a fighting game (more Makoto then Valkenhayn and Platinum). P.S. While Platinum can be annoying, she's an amusing and entertaining character, besides she's (Luna more than Sena) not the only thorn in Ragna's side and she's tame compared to others who interact negatively with him. (Jin, Tsubaki, Hakumen and Kokonoe while Tao and Naoto are in tame territory).

From the oldest perspectives, rather than DLC, we simply had to re-buy ENTIRE games for their updates.

In this regard, I feel sorry for the Street Fighter fanbase, whom you can probably guess had to buy the same reiterations of a game several times OVER, over many years with each new iteration.

In this regard, some games still practice this… like Granblue Fantasy Versus Rising… I was hoping it would simply be an update… but I guess I'll just have to save up some spare cash for the new game (even if I'm a bit late in participating with other players).

Though, in regards to DLC, BlazBlue was one of the earliest fighting games to practice this… and some of the practices were… not good, as memory recalls.

You had to buy Unlimited characters if you couldn't unlock them, and some couldn't even BE unlocked in some versions of the earliest BlazBlue games.

It gets worse though: in games like Mortal Kombat 3, you couldn't unlock characters UNTIL you beat Arcade Mode and had the opportunity to INPUT A KOMBAT KODE… you literally had to memorize the code and input it in at the right timing, and if you messed up, you'd have to try ALL OVER AGAIN.

And because it's an Arcade Game… if the manager shut down the machine and reset it… YOU HAD TO KEEP INPUTTING THE KODE TO UNLOCK YOUR CHARACTER… and MK isn't the only fighting game that used to do this for secret characters.

This is also why a lot of early FGC tournaments often frown on or outright BAN Secret Character use, because they are often locked away by codes, or you have to import a save file just to unlock anything.

And it wasn't just because secret characters are more powerful than the main roster… some characters, like Dan Hibiki were literally TERRIBLE characters and served no purpose other than just to be played as either a joke character, or someone who was skilled enough to use that character in demonstrations/exhibition matches.

Back on topic though, my personal history with DLC is that I make it my business to obtain the whole roster of any game I invest in.

Part of it has to do with the challenge and learning process you obtain from getting characters in a roster.

I mean, if you're going to play a game, you might as well go all-in from the start.

Otherwise there's no point investing time in something you'll only be half-hearted about.

Some games, like Dead or Alive… take this to an insane level, however… so DLC is, either important to you, or it isn't…

Some DLC is pure cosmetic fluff, like alternate colors/costumes… some stuff does improve the gameplay experience, like the Soul Calibur costumes (trust me, when making a character from scratch, the more armor parts you have, the more fun the game becomes).

But well… in my long LONG experience playing fighting games, I've obtained a great deal of wisdom.

One piece of wisdom I shall impart to you is this:

If a game has A LARGE AMOUNT OF DLC… it is often best to wait until the game's price drops, or there is some sales event of some kind (usually Summer or Christmas, or Japanese Golden Week).

If you can time it right, you can get a TON of DLC for dirt cheap… so just keeping an eye out for things like Steam Sales, or PS4 PS5 or X-Box sales events… can save you a ton of money, letting you gain the full experience of a game for a lower price.

And, if you're REALLY LUCKY, the game developers will release a BUNDLED VERSION of the game that includes all DLC they previously offered at a SINGLE SOLID PRICE. It doesn't happen as often, but when it does, that's the best time to snap a game and its content up.

Just be thankful that Fighting Game Rosters don't implement Gacha Rolls like some mobile games do! NFT characters are the worst!

Belial bursts into sharp-edged laughter, making her jump. "Oh, Girl in Blue, you're the best sort of ingenue: twisted in places but still sweet as cherry pie everywhere else." His fangs stand out in the darkness of his mouth. "We both know what you're doing right now." 

"Hmph! Then you won't help?" 

Still chuckling to himself, Belial offers up his "little" finger that next to hers is anything but. "Oh contraire, I'm your obedient servant from this moment on. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you both."

Asks & Suggestions Guideline

Want to send an Ask? Here's what I can help you with!

General asks   ✦   For random things or conversations

Just be nice and I'll be fine!

Not the smartest but I'll try to answer questions.

I don't mind chatting via Asks if that's how you prefer it.

Granblue content   ✦   Let me help with your brainrot!

Compiling all Valentines' cards of a character

Snippets from the artbooks for your soul (hopefully it's okay?). One book at a time though! There's... a lot of artbooks from the team.

General asks about the game and my activities in it ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧

Fanfics   ✦   Let me cook!

No nsfw. I prefer to keep my content fluff, funny and angst only.

Specify if headcanon of the character themselves, or paired with a reader!

Reader is designated as captain by default, but is not Djeeta/Gran. I write from the perspective of an adult captain. You can ask for a non-captain too!

If it's something difficult for me to write, I'll reply saying so!

A shoulder to lean on

[jona-rose]

HECK YEAH, thank you!!! And reasonable, it's fun to draw mods and stuff, tbh!!

and oughhh you gave me an opportunity to info dump a little oh nooooo

I have a few, and been kinda slowly been working on some palette mods and stuff, I might see if I can upload my personal palette later, but I added hair gradients to Happy Chaos and Testament, it just happens that the hair gradient isn't compatible with the cowboy hat. I've been off and on working on a few more mods for HC, as well as some stuff for A.B.A and some Granblue stuff, including stealing Belial's jacket and giving it to Chaos, that will be compatible with THIS jacket fluff mod. I'm just working on ironing out texture issues and some rigging issues stillllllll... My specialty is texture work when it comes to this, so it's hard tbh.

I could frankly go on forever about what I've been learning about all this and what I've been working on and what I've posted but this conversation isn't necessarily about that??? I feel??? You did ask what other mods I had around, and this hasn't been published yet ssdfl;sdfj I NEED TO FINISH IT ARGH I'M OPENING THE BLENDER PROJECT ACTUALLY I NEED THIS TO BE DONE

You can check it all out on my Gamebanana page, but I'll send this one specifically!! It requires the Testament hair gradient mod I made to work, but it's cool! Been meaning to do more hair gradient mods, just haven't gotten around to it. Life is annoying and hard. mAYBE later this year.

chaos wit mods i’ve downloaded, they’re all from gamebanana but let me know if u want links!

faust was a request from the silly

[misasimagines]

texting the granblue eternals “I want a baby”

included characters: Song/Tweyen, Seox, Siete/Seofon rating: sfw warnings: pregnancy mentions, implied she/her pronouns for reader

**This is the first in a set queued for today. Genshin characters will be later, then JJK even later. I’m trying not to bombard anyone with a ton of posts all at once which is why they’re queued and staggered ! also forgive my silly little photo editing skills in some of these upcoming images,,

Song:

Seox:

Siete:

this might be Too Niche but if you’re a gbf player tell me who your first eternal was/is going to be!! I got Tien first but Seox is my fave and he and Song are the only ones at 5* so far!! Siete is next when I stop being a seasonal player,,,

sorry for turning you into a gbf account and never asking about a3

omg it's fine no need to worry!!!

i've been a gbf/a3 account since 2019, switching between the two once in a while depending on when the hyperfixation really kicks in. Sometimes the fixation fades off a bit and the other one ends up being the one i focus the most on, but therefore there's no "turning" my blog into a gbf blog, it's been there all along as well ahah

to be quite frank when the nonnies started coming, i wasn't deeply fixated with Granblue anymore at that point (i have phases where i'm more or less fixated), but the conversations have been so fun it ended up making me even more excited about the game and made me look forward to playing the game more in more.

i am glad to be in a situation in which i can talk about gbf a lot!! there's really a homey feeling about granblue that never gets old to me and i love that this whole situation made me even more excited to discuss it than i've been before that.

(especially in preparation for the banger events like the latest one released)

as for a3, i always love talking about it <3 it's true though that i haven't been focusing on it much these days, especially since i didn't catch up on the story ever since the English server closed, so it's been a while i've actually consumed a3 stories, in comparaison.

and the fact i talk a lot about granblue doesn't stop me from talking a lot about a3 once in a while (esp when i start to point out the VAs they have in common ahah)

and i do think that with granblue having more adult themes in general it is also a bit freeing to talk about without filter because the game itself doesn't have filter. a3 is really more on the fluff side or deep character studies, which is great and makes me happy! but i'll never get the same brand of unhinged with a3 than the one i have with granblue as a result.

i'm up for conversation still! and either way if i'm in a mood to talk especially a lot about something, you'll see me do so ahah

but there's no need to worry or be sorry about it ;D i'm genuinely having so much fun this way.

I mentioned it before but i haven't seen this much activity in my inbox since 2017 at least, and it genuinely brings me a lot of joy that there is this camaraderie in the inbox about granblue. I love that this became a place we can come and joke around. I feel like an innkeeper who enjoy a good time with the regulars. Ladiva style if you will.

it makes me happy so there's genuinely nothing to be sorry about ;D

Spring (Shiva)

You stretch your arms above your head with a sigh. Before resting your back against a strong chest, basking in peace and quiet for a change.

Spring slowly starts to make place for summer. Days are growing longer and the sun rays on your cheeks feel a little warmer than yesterday.

"Adherent"

You smile and you tilt your head up to look at the deity out of the corner of your eye. Shiva sighs as one of his arms comes to wrap around your middle, his strong fingers tapping on your tummy.

"Aren't you famished? I presume you haven't eaten yet."

At that moment your stomach decides to grumble in agreement with the god and you sigh at the betrayal of your own body.

You had wanted to stay and enjoy the company of the god of war a little longer.

You managed to convince Shiva into this little outing by saying that allies and friends sometimes did this as a form of bonding. However the position the two of you are in, that is entirely of his making. Saying he saw it a while back, curious as to why humans wanted to be in this position. 

Metera was going to have a frickin' field day if she ever found out.

While you are pondering the effects on your life on the Grandcypher, if others found out about your current position with the primal. Shiva notices your reluctance to leave his embrace. As a god, surely he could entertain your desires a little longer. He didn't need sharp eyes to notice the apples hanging from the branches of the trees the both of you are resting against.

This is madness, to use his scared flame to cut an apple down. But was it really? Considering it was for you. You who taught him all you knew about man. About the little things that made life enjoyable. About conflict, tears and death. About everything that made life so beautiful for the children of man, even if it is so tragically short.

So as the apple falls from the tree and into your lap, Shiva could almost feel your happiness.

He could see it too, when you turned your head to smile so brilliantly at him. A warm 'thank you' leaving your lips.

Shiva gaze softens as you turn back around to eat the apple. As a god he wasn’t supposed to favour one human above another. Yet Shiva couldn’t help it, the same way he couldn’t help to want to feel you a little bit closer.

You trust the primal behind you with your life, so you don't stiffen up when another arm curls around you, pressing you a little tighter against Shiva.

You want to tilt your head up, wondering if something had upset Shiva. So after swallowing a bite of apple you try to do so. Yet the soft timber of Shiva's voice stops you, his lips so close to the shell of your ear you could feel every syllable they formed.

"Adherent.. Let's stay together like this for a little while longer."
