#guys please be nice to nia

[vanguard-if]

I was wondering. Does MCs sexuality/gender play into any of the routes with certain RO's?

the RO's are romanceable by an MC of any gender! they are all queer and loving of all genders, one way or another. the MC's sexuality is based on how you want your MC to express their romantic interests, and the ROs roll with whatever the MC is rolling with. there's gonna be some mild spoilers for Nia's route below, regarding the gender of the MC.

the only route that really takes gender into consideration is Nia's route. she has felt unsafe around men all her life, and has felt pressure numerous times to have children by her parents. with a man, and only a man. so if you're playing a male MC and don't immediately present yourself as safe to her, she will be wary at first. she's just a girl you know 😞

and since we're on the topic of gender, i would also like to point out that faerings have a very different concept of gender than humans. so if your MC is outside of the gender binary or trans this is completely normal within the Midlands. basically faerings just kinda adopt whatever pronouns they think look cool. and Cirrus especially...their gender is like..whatever Prince had going on. most faerings don't even bother to label themselves anyways. too much work. long story short, gender is complicated for dragons. don't ask Cirrus what his gender is. he will tell you that he's a Sagittarius.

of course, the ROs will have slightly different interactions with the MC based on gender, but nothing that would block the MC from romancing them. the only two characters that would are Vio and Kiera, but they're not romanceable HAHAl. i feel like i've said this before but whatever; Vio is gay and Kiera is a lesbian. they truly are MLM and WLW solidarity.

It's snake weighing day this morning! Keep reading to see all the babies!

A little context on these cuties.

They were found abandoned in an apartment, and we're pretty confident they were a breeding setup. Because they're adopted, we don't know all of their morphs, so if you recognize any please let us know!

First up is Cali.

Yes. She is a spider morph. If you're unfamiliar with them, they are (as far as we're concerned) an unethical morph because they are prone (by which I mean I have never heard of one without) to a nervous system condition known as wobbles. This can present in varying degrees of severity, and is often very stressful for the animal. If you want to get a ball python, and the breeder you're looking at offers spider morphs, please do not support them.

That being said, we're monitoring her closely to see how severe her wobble is, as she has already shown that she has one. She is a beautiful snake and if her quality of life isn't too bad, we'll be keeping her around, but if she's unable to live well we have already made the decision to not let her suffer.

At this time, she is not showing severe symptoms, and I'm hoping she will be able to spend many years with us.

She weighed in at 1242g and is roughly 47 inches long.

Next is Ato! She weighed in at 778g and is roughly 33 inches long. She's our shortest!

After her, we have Hym! Our only new male, he weighs 1498g and is roughly 48 inches long. A big guy!

After Hym is Terp! She weighed in at 1126g and is about 40 inches long. Terp has a bump on her snoot that the vet believes is akin to a callus, but we're going to keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't grow.

Pom is next! She's our littlest, but not shortest!, weighing in at 621g and measuring around 40 inches.

And last but not least is Nia! Our biggest new addition, she weighs a nice 1530g and is around 48 inches in length! She had the biggest poo I've ever seen this morning and was scooty because of it, so she was a little hard to measure and she may or may not be longer than 48.

Nia has a stubby little tail, and we're hoping she's just ~like that~, but we're gonna make sure we keep an eye out for potential stuck shed issues because of it.

We're pretty confident Nia is a high melanin morph, but we could be wrong!

So them's the girls (and Hym)!!

We'd love to hear your thoughts on their morphs! We're going to do some research ourselves too, but I think it'd be fun to see what others think :)

CONSEQUENCES OF A ONE NIGHT STAND. ( chapter. 31 )

💬nias notes: special sunday post because i didn’t want to leave you guys hanging cause i feel like it all four parts tie together 🫶🏾🫶🏾🫶🏾

— CHAPTER THIRTY-ONE: it all comes out …

— 𖦹 warnings?

previous - next - masterlist

“who’s calling you for the 5th time?��� jake asked , stretched out on your bed. “yunjin, it’s probably something stupid, she’ll be home tomorrow, and by then she’ll probably forget it.” you put your phone down. “okay.” he said , his phone ringing. “ah that’s the food, i’ll go get it.” he got up, leaving you in the room to find a movie.

a few minutes later, jakes phone went off. “jake your phone!” you yelled, but you failed to get an answer. “why didn’t he take it with him.” you reached over to turn it off. you didn’t mean to look, but the phone was unlocked, and you seen the name. “hm, what does jungwon want?” you said, reading the messages – you’d soon wish you hadn’t.

‘i tried jake, i did’ ‘everyone is pissed, not just at you but me to’ ‘i covered for you and you lied’ ‘you promised me you’d handle it’ ‘what happens next is your fault’

you read the messages confused, what did jake lie about? and what did jungwon cover up?” you were about to put the phone down, when another name popped up, a unfamiliar but not unknown name – song jihae , jakes ex. “okay.” you said, trying not to get upset, reading off the messages.

jihae🤍 | maybe we can go to the park again, like last time.

jake | yeah, definitely, just no going to y/n cafe.

jihae🤍 | i promise i won’t go back , am i am sorry really

jake | let’s just pretend it never happened

jihae🤍| it was kinda nice , it was like when we dated.

jihae🤍| but this time with our son, like a little family.

you almost dropped the phone upon reading the messages, you couldn’t believe what you were reading, a son? “what the-.” so much ran through your mind at the moment , then it hit– the girl who came into the cafe on the day of your appointment, the girl who commented on your twitter post. song jihae – that was jakes ex, he had a kid with his ex girlfriend, and jungwon knew.

“sweet girl, i’m sorry it took so long.” you heard jakes voice entering the room. “they got a little lost.” you looked at him, blank faced. “what is it?” he said, his phone going off again, eyes landing on your hand. “you have a son?” his eyes widened. “why do you have my phone?”

“you have a son?” you asked again. “are you fucking kidding me?” you said. “wait y/n let me explain.” he sat the food down. “yeah you think?” you said. “how long have you been keeping this from me?” you said. “a month.” you scoffed. “a month , you went a month without tell me this.”

“i was planning on telling you, when the time was right.” he said. “when the time was right, you should’ve told me when you first found out, not after going on family dates with your ex.” your voice raising. “it wasn’t dates , i only went for dae.” he said. “do you seriously take me for a fool, you lied this entire time and you expect me to believe nothing happened between you both?”

his face fell and you scoffed, getting your answer. “what happened, you two have sex?” he shook his head. “what? no, of course not! it was just a kiss.” he said. “and she kissed me, i told her off about it, told her i was in a relationship.” you rolled your eyes. “well it wasn’t like you didn’t give her a reason to think you weren’t.” you said sarcastically.

“y/n please calm down, think about the baby.” he said. “that’s all i have been doing, thinking about the baby, while you were out with your other family.” you said. “she came into my store, she pretended to not know me, jungwon– don’t blame him, i told him not to tell you.” he said. “that’s what makes it worse.”

“y/n please let me explain.” you didn’t even want to hear it anymore. “i’m not mad you have another kid, i’m not even mad at the kiss.” you stated. “i’m upset that you didn’t tell me, you left me in the dark, you skipped the appointment and lied to me about it, lord knows how many times you’ve probably lied to me.”

“i am sorry.” he said. “i don’t want to talk to you right now, i think you should go.” you turned away, laying on the bed. “y/n please.” he pleaded for you to speak to him, sighing when you ignored his called. “please forgive me.” he said. “go jake.”

he didn’t want to upset you even more, grabbing his things, slipping on his shoes. “please at least eat something.” he said leaving out of your room, closing the door behind him.

on his way out he ran into yunjin, karina and sunoo; and he could just tell they knew, he didn’t even say anything, just leaving the house with his head low, the door closing behind him.

he seriously fucked up.

Hey Jude! Hope you're having a wonderful day~

Just wanted to share something about my Crowny

Crowny with Nia: You're my best friend. I love you. I will try my best to be a better friend, please paint my nails❤️

Crowny with Imre: You're beautiful. Don't fucking look at me. I like you. I don't trust you. I will bite you. My feelings are complicated and now it's your problem

Crowny with Lorcan: -handles him like you would a street cat with trust issues- I just think he's neat

Just... the dynamics you allow us to have. Thank you!

He is such a street cat (affectionate cause all street cats deserve proper care and a nice home)

If Imre wasn’t so beautiful maybe he wouldn’t be so evil 😔

I actually love the nail session, I feel like I don’t see nail painting a lot in IFs and it’s so fun

Thank you for this, I like seeing the different dynamics you guys have

[punk-o-ween]

my summerslam predictions

this is very much a yap fest so if u dont wanna see a bunch of paragraphs of me yapping and me very much going insane then dont click the read more, but if u want to see me yap then go ahead 😋😋

bailey vs nia jax

winner ? i think nia jax 

why ? for one, im not rlly excited for this match and just from knowing jax i think she might win regardless.

shes just an icon anyway! i love bailey and ive loved how much shes grown and became an amazing superstar but i just hsve this gut feeling nias gonna win. i dont rlly think tiffany will cash in bc she needs to flaunt her mitb purse for a bit!!!

p.s: bailey's championship run is kind of boring ngl?? like ofc shes cool n all but we've already seen all the layers to bailey being champion and i need a new one and ineed it now

logan (fuckass) paul vs la knight

 winner ? la knight. no take backs

why? I FUCKING HATE LOGAN PAUL PLEASE LA KNIGHT WIN PLEADEMPLALSPELSLSKWPWLWL 

but in all seriousness, logan paul is barely here?? istg he shows up, yaps, and then leaves for like ten decades until someone provokes him again. hes barely defending it and hes not here enough to even do so. la knight DSERVES this belt! when i tell u hes been freaking phenomenal in the main roster and judt to think hes never had a belt is wild?? he needs to win point blank periodt 

p.s: i just know logans gonna try smthn anf fuck it up and thsts gonna cause him the match and what will i b doing? pointing and laughing

p.s.s: i will be sending a very nice and long letter if la knight doesnt win

sami jey- i mean zayn 😁 vs bron breakker

winner ? bron breakker

why? for this match im just going to wing it honestly bc there are SO many possibilities for this but im moreso on bron's side.

sami is known for being extremely strong in ring and surprising everyone around him when he kicks a big guy's ass, yes, but then again bron fucking breakker?? HELLO?? have we seen him??? remember that one time he left someone SHAKING and they had to go to the hospital? remember when he DESTROYED ricochet? the amount of spears he did to people? plus hes been a freaking powerhouse in many ways and i think he deserves this title as well

liv morgan vs rhea ripley

winner ? liv morgan 

why? bc i trust my gut and even tho it sucks to say, the liv revenge tour is not yet over.

liv morgan has been doing an fan fucking tastic job at being a chamption its insane and while ofc we all love our mami, i dont think wwe is just gonna grant her the belt right when she steps into wwe ?? thatd be so boring honestly bc i want to see MORE of this feud and how rhea will gradually win back everything from liv in a span of time. she cant just win everything back just from one ppv !!! so yeah i think liv will win, and i WANT her to win only because i want this rivalry to last a little longer bc if rhea wins, theyll basically just b going their separate ways. 

p.s: i just KNOW during the match, dom is going to cost rhea the win. question is tho will it be on purpose or accident? i REALLY want dom to turn and be with liv regardless of him calling her a bitch and saying he hates her bc i know if rhea didnt come back during raw, he wouldve definitely kissed liv and wouldhe got wirh her. itll also give rhea more to fight for–the title, and her man–and itll fire the feud even more

damien priest vs gunther

winner ? gunther...

why ? at first, i wanted to say damien was going to win but honestly i have a feeling papa trips is gonna cook and make gunther win instead

gunther deserves a title imo (u can tell the three am brain was hitting here bc i forgot gunther was champion already) and i feel like damien would be kinda clouded by the insults gunther was throwing around that its gonna throw him off in some way causing gunther to win

maybe some shenanigans might go down which coukd cost damien the match as well like if JD and finn will come out and make damien lose and then thatll cause damien to possibly go face and break from the judgement day bc he doesnt want help!!

gunther might walk in to bash in berlin as champion (or maybe im wrong abt this prediction and he'll actually win it at bash at berlin but idk lol)

cody rhodes vs solo sikoa (bloodline rules)

winner? mmmmm cody?????

why? im so stumped for this match and i dont wanna say i dont care abt it but its not my top priority 🤕

i want roman to come back during this match and fuck everything up since he technically is still apart of the bloodline and then he'll put solo back in his place which will make cody remain but then again idkkkk so, im winging this one and will just watch.

cm punk vs drew mcintyre 😨😨😨😨😨 (with sethie reffing!)

winner? i dont know in the best way possible

why? this is just going to be a yap session but here r all my thoughts

im moreso siding with drew on this (GASP CM PUNK FAN WANTING DREW TO WIN?) bc punk HAS cost drew so many matches atp that itd make drew look so damn weak for him to lose and then hed just be complaining again the next day?? like it would be so freaking boring??? 

if cm punk DOES win i feel like itd be because OF something like some sort of distraction perhaps? bc as seth said, they have to follow ALL of his rules n stuff so maybe drew gets distracted by seth and then punk will pin and seth HAS to grant him the win (like how shawn michaels had to grant bret the win during that one match when he guest reffed) 

i know this is setting the bar high but i want aj lee IF WWE LOVES ME! like aj slaps drew, telling him she'll never be his family n shit and then larry comes out and bite his ankles 😁😁 THIS IS SETTING THE BAR RLLY HIGH BUT IT WOULD BE QUITE FUNNY

[siren0writer]

Can i please get some shayna baszler x fem!reader headcanons (could be NSFW 👀) where they are in a tag team together and reader is also a member of the Judgement Day?

In my mind you and Shayna are around the same age (early 40s to late 30s) but idc

You knew Shayna back when she was in UFC, but you started dating when she joined WWE

You were the third member of the judgment day before Rhea, Finn, and Dominik joined

After Shayna betrayed Ronda, she asked you to be her new tag partner

You agreed instantly ofc

You told the rest of the TJD that you would be teaming with Shayna, making sure they knew it was a statement and you weren't asking permission

Damien was confused at first "But she's not in TJD if you wanted a tag partner Rheas right here."

"Right, I know she's here, but she's not my wife so, a clear difference there."

Shayna and Rhea have never been the biggest fans of each other, but rhea tries her best to be nice

Shayna tries a lot less hard

When Nia comes back all 3 of you guys hate her with a burning passion, it's a bonding experience tbh

When JD joins TJD your pretty excited to have a new member (sorry guys I love JD McDonalds so much)

It's a little awkward with Zoey because she hates rhea and your in the judgment day, but there's no animosity between you guys

Shayna threatened to kill Zoey if she wasn't nice to you

You don't put up with Damian's sass, idc who you are you're not gonna talk to me like that

You usually train with Shayna instead of TJD because she's your tag partner

You guys are open about your relationship, on and off TV

You and Shayna DOMINATE as a tag team

Speaking of dominate, NSFW next up

You and Shayna both switch between who's Dom and sub

When shaynas dominating she's usually rough with you, but it's nothing you can't handle

Idk what it's like to when you Dom bc I'm not you, so I'm not gonna write it here, use your imagination

There was one time when you tried to safe word but she had you gagged and your hands were tied, you started freaking out

Shayna noticed of course and stopped, took out your gag, untied you, and ran you guys a bath, she felt so bad about it she cried

When it comes to aftercare, Shayna is the KING

She keeps snacks at her bedside table, bottles of water, runs a bath, kisses you, gives you cuddles, etc.

A/N: First solo Yoongi fic ^^^^^ (inspo above)

"I swear this is the last time I'm dealing with Ty's ass." Kiki sucked on her strawberry-flavored lollipop. "I'm so sick of these girls running up on me at the salon. Like, I'm tryna be professional and shit."

"I told you to stop messing around with his funky ass."

The two girls were riding around in Kiki's Ford Focus. It was peak summer and the girls had just left the hair salon. Sporting their new micro braids. The sun was getting ready to set from the seven hours they had missed, glamming up their look. They stopped by Ty's place, so Kiki could get her stuff.

"Girl look at this, even got another bitch's car. Thinking I wouldn't be home to see." Entirely determined, Kiki abruptly parked the car, swinging upon her driver's door. Her mini heels stomped up the driveway as she fiddled with her keys at the front door.

For Ty's sake, that car better belong to some distant female relative. Kiki had served time before, allowing for a misdemeanor. But when ticked off, her rationale went out the window.

Ebony flipped up her compact mirror, checking out her makeup. Her eyebrows were thinly arched, lips glossy and purely kissable. All day, she's been getting compliments from neighborhood aunties. Claiming that she looked like the daughter of Nia Long and Megan Good. It would be a lie to say it didn't inflate Ebony's ego.

She was a fine sista, no shame in stating the obvious. Her breasts sat nicely in her tube top, and her pelvic bone was slightly exposed in her waisted jeans. It would be a shame for her not to show the world her beauty. Treasures like that should be shared.

"I'm on your ass now!" Kiki busted open the door, yelling into the home. "Tyrone Curtis Jenkins! Bring your ass down here you cheatin ass nigga! And that tramp!"

Laughing to herself, Ebony knew she was about to have a hilarious story to tell her other girlfriends. Kiki was the crazy hot chick that all the guys loved, that was until they realized how genuinely crazy she is.

"Lil mama."

Ebony didn't hear the voice calling out to her, til he was directly outside her window. Having people walk up on her, when she was alone always made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up. It didn't help that the man walking up to the car was a man.

"Lil mama. Can I spit at you?"

Shrugging her shoulders, Ebony continued to touch up her edges. If she stayed in this heat for much longer, the grease would trail down her face.

"I've never seen a woman like you before.

"You've never seen a sista before? Feast your eyes upon the one and only." Her hands scaled her body. The cups of her breast almost spilled out of her top. Her cupid's bow was well-defined by the black lip liner. The Jersey accent was strong on Ebony's pronunciation of words.

Confidence was a major turn-on for Yoongi. It meant that you were proud of your authentic self. Yoongi was drawn to the character, in all his past relationships, looks were at the forefront of his decision to talk, date, or even fuck a woman. After being single for over a year, he rearranged his priorities. Luckily the woman before him would check off two boxes simultaneously.

"Can I speak to you properly? Roll your window down, please." Eyeing him, Ebony slowly rolled down the passenger window. She rested her chin on the back of her hand, on the edge of the widow. Her curly hazel looked up at Yoongi. "Speak, papa, say it from your chest."

Ebony loved watching Yoongi fidget under her gaze. It gave her a thrill to flirt with men. It was entertainment for her. A flutter of her eyes and simple eye contact had this man ready to break his tough-guy act. Ebony couldn't help but notice the thick silver Cuban link tucked under his purple hoody.

"You already calling me daddy. I haven't even done anything yet." Yoongi was flushed, pulling at the Cuban link; now it rested on his hoody. He leaned over on the car, his hand a few inches away from her own.

"Cornball."

"But seriously, I just wanted to say how beautiful you are, and I would like to take you out."

"Is that so."

"Only if you allow for it, mama."

Ebony looked the man up and down. Liking what she saw. His cologne was potent yet addictive. A balance of fresh and mint. Ebony wanted to pull the handsome man in for a hug.

"I'll take you up on that offer. Lemme see your hand." Rolling up his sleeve, Yoongi had to bite his lip to hide his excitement. His boys had been talking about Kiki's best friend.

Ebony didn't fuck with scrubs. She had a reputation for dating rich or high-profile men only. Never paying attention to the lowlives that were over-represented in their community. While a lot of these men were friends of Yoongi. He could recognize that he was in a different category than them. Music was his passion, and his hard work was paying off. He had much more wealth to show up, but he was a humble bragger, so he only wore his $70,000 silver Cuban link.

In true Ebony fashion, she wrote the ten digits on the palm of his hand.

"That is only for you. Not any of the homeboys. Got that, papa."

Kiki was storming just as angrily out of the house in perfect timing. Articles of clothing drop out of her hand. Her hips were twitching with each step. Eyes red with fury.

"I'll call you." Yoongi needed no other explanation that now was not the time to keep flirting with Ebony. He's seen that same angry look in Kiki's eyes. She's absolutely insane and didn't want to be a victim to her temper.

"I can't believe him. I really can't believe him." Tears flooded out of the corner of her eyes. She was full-on wailing, hyperventilating, trying to explain what she saw to Ebony.

"Shhh, don't cry babe." Ebony soothed her friend.

"No- I won't let him get me worked up like this. He doesn't deserve these tears. That no good chauvinist."

Hopping right back out of her car. She took off her heel, smashing it into the four-door car in the driveway. Each swing, shards of glass littered the pavement.

"Kiki, what the fuck!" Ty's deep voice rang out as he watched in shock at the destruction unfold. "This bitch is crazy."

"Your mother." She seethed. "Kiss my ass." She flung her shoe at Ty before returning to her car, hauling ass out of Ty's neighborhood.

Monster Engine Infection/Virus AU Rambles Stankyle Angst:

Yep, I’ve joined the bandwagon basically Kyle gets released from the lamp with the organization’s “assistance” though they had their own plans and made Kyle “patient 0” well for the narrow gauge engines and dumped him nearby the skarloey railway after he attempted to escape where he was then found recused and reunited with Stanley who’s is overjoyed and immediately keeps him updated one everything that has happened, weeks to a month pass and Kyle is settling in nicely Stanley has done all he can to help him recover to the point that the older engines had to tell him to take a break cause he’s overworking himself (guy wants to impress Kyle so bad he’s got it bad)

Then one day after having to handle people and differing them about “proteus” he falls “ill” at the same time some of the standard and miniature engines fall “ill” Stanley is understandably nervous and worried for Kyle often staying up late into the night keeping Kyle company who seems to be getting worse each passing day…

The currently skarloey railway manager, Sir Handel Hans Brown understands Stanley’s feelings and lets him stay though it’s the older engines mainly Duke and Nia gently yet firmly convincing him that Kyle wouldn’t want to see him running himself down to the ground as he’s doing both of their jobs.

So for the first time in what felt like ages Stanley leaves Kyle on his own devices in the shed with Kyle’s encouragement of course it getting hard to smile and remain confident in himself but he hold his grin till Stanley is out of view…

So when Stanley returns as quickly as he can worried but hopeful he finds the shed doors closed which is odd Kyle always wants them open even in rainy or snowy weather he hasn’t experienced it in 50 years

“Hey Kyle I’m back,sorry it took so long-…” So his driver and fireman,Benji and Charlie, Ruth’s apprentices who Stanley watched grow up after Ruth took him in before he went to the mid-sodor railway open the doors..,

It’s dark..there’s a strong stretch none of them can place..but over in the corner hunched over…something..Stanley could make out the familiar shape of Kyle..a nagging sense of dread filled his boiler as Stanley prayed to the Lady above that this wasn’t real..

“Kyle?”

Golden eyes turned to his names, no they’re not Kyle’s warm honey brown eyes they’re now more feline-like with bright red silts and golden irises and matching light sclera, sparkling ✨ glittering ✨ golden tears dripping from them and his mouth…

“K-Kyle?..” it was then he finally noticed what Kyle was…chewing at…ripping up..or what remained of a certain B12 that was their former supervisor..

Alfred…

Everyone throughout the entire railway was alerted to the sounds of Stanley’s gut wrenching screams of absolute sadness and terror, Benji and Charlie screamed too but not as loudly as Stanley as people workman and any nearby engines rushed over to contain Kyle who was reaching out a clawed?paw?hand?engines don’t have fur engines don’t have hands towards Stanley…

“S-Stan?” Minutes before Stanley screamed, Kyle managed to mutter a “run…please…” trying so hard to keep his new instincts,his urges but finally gave in as he became aware of the horrified looks and shouts from everyone ,their pointed fingers and some of them holding… no he won’t be trapped anymore, he won’t let them trap him…

Without thinking he lunged towards the first thing he saw coming towards him,being Duke, Nia,Skarloey,Rheneas, Charlie and Benji..Stanley now realizing what he has done immediately rolled forward towards him calling out for him as Kyle turned his attention to Stanley....

like god the feels and how everyone gotta be handling this especially Stanley considering he nearly loses an eye (he and Thomas have eye trauma here and Kyle is either directly or indirectly involved…) gotta do a follow-up post on this and maybe art…

[a-student-out-of-time]

….I have a bad feeling about this.

Hey everyone! How was your day?

It was really nice. I liked just playing games with him by the fountain again.

I had fun too.

Except for the part where I almost killed him with my chocolate.

Oh...i-is he okay?

He made it to Mikan, thankfully, and he seems okay.

I just...hope that lasts.

How is she?

...She's been trying to find the right words.

Poor Nia, dude.

They're coming.

Huh? You all beat us here?

Ehehehe...surprise!

How was your Valentine's Day, Haji?

Today was really fun. I...I mean, it's not what I was expecting, but all these dates you guys set up, they were really nice.

But, where's Sonia?

She's in her room. Why don't you go see her?

...

...Did...Did something happen?

*Gundham touches Hajime's shoulder*

Please. Go and speak with her.

And know that, what happened today, it was for your enjoyment. We understand how serious matters have been and wanted you to find joy on this day.

There is a matter you must attend to with her, but your happiness was her priority as well. It still is. So, in return, please go and speak with Sonia.

...

Of course.

*He heads off to her room*

...I'm still not sure I understand.

...

[saiibeo]

I loooooove the amount of detail you've put into them and developing such an interesting story to go with them, and how they sit on the fence between the good guys and the bad guys lol

@skepticxsm What’s your favorite thing from my character(s) portrayal? I’m curious and would like to know! What makes me unique from others roleplayers of the same muse? status: heavily accepting ! (feedback is always nice)

SNAGGGLLLEEE this means so gd much to me especially coming from you. I love Nia so much and it really shows that you poured so much time, love, and care into her as a character. She's fantastic and I enjoy all of our interactions and threads. Also just late night gaming buddies because one's quirk keeps the up and the other is just a mess??? Please I love them LMAO. I also love how you portray Skeptic. I think you capture is character so well and even breathe a lot of life into the character that we don't see in the manga or on screen. And of course I love our threads with him and Corvus too because this poor man having to be an unwilling baby sitter to this gremlin gives me pure joy.

That and Nia/Skeptic??? I ship that shit so hard and so does Corvus but you didn't hear that from me.

Also you as a person??? You're so cool and I really enjoy the small moments we do talk ooc which is usually in tags and not much because I am an actual turtle most of the time but still just. HHHHH. I need to get your discord if I don't already have it. I'm just very bad at communicating with people, but I wish to be a mild (positive) nuisance in your messages.

Catching up on Raw 15/10/24

Strange start to a Raw, the show usually opens with the commentators welcoming the audience but it took seven minutes to see them. I like when the camera follows a wrestler to the ring but I would have liked maybe a little more opening at the opening. If that makes sense.

Oh straight to the championship tag team match, okay.

Like the choice of having Rhea look like she's getting a headache whenever Tiffany is around. Tiffy is a lot (but we love her).

So this is a match with Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair. Okay. Please let Jade do more than 30% of the work this time, I'm starting to dislike her. Bianca does all the work and takes all the heat every time!

Jeez, Biance Belair and Iyo Sky together in the ring again. What a sight!

Okay, that backbreaker by Cargill was beautiful.

Are you serious? Did Jade just slam Bianca on the mat?? Rrrr not my girl!

I love Iyo stepping on her opponent and screaming, she has great ring attitude.

Aaaaaannd Bianca did most of the work again. I'm ready for this dynamic to be used in their future feud.

Yes, finally things are gonna move in the men's tag team championship on Raw. I keep forgetting McDonagh and Bálor are champions because they never defend!

Ugh American Made promo. I hate them so much. I know I'm supposed to but still!

Okay, first I thought the Bron/Jey thing had no basis, but the family thing helps make it believable. They genuinely had a different career approach in this respect, that can cause some sort of ideological different.

Bronson Reed is articulating his requests very well. What a dream employee! This is the most civilized exchange I've seen Adam Pearce have with one of his wrestlers in a while.

Hello War Raiders, nice to meet you! Cool metal entrance theme.

This was a squash.

Rollins owning the fact that he's at an injury-prone point in his career is kinda cool. He does have a whiny voice but he makes good points.

Adam Pearce take a acting class please. His response to anything supposed to be intense is to rake his glasses off, it's so funny.

Come on Cody, you're not home on Raw, don't take up too much of the Raw roster's time. (I understand that they have to build up to the Crown Jewel matches but I see enough of Cody on Smackdown as it is. Nia is allowed to invade as often as she wants to though <3)

I don't like Gunther but him telling Cody "You want to be everybody's darling" is spot-on.

New Day terrible no good couple's therapy incoming yayyyyy!

Oh, Dragon Lee promo in my weekly? More likely than I thought.

Kofi you're good, but now might be a good time to count your teeth. They're really building Bron Breakker strong.

Xavier's not even at ringside for Kofi owww 🥺

Can we agree not to take our eyes off Bron until he's left the room, guys?

I like that they're retiring the Terror Twins, it's a really cool dynamic and I wouldn't want it to overstay its welcome. Damian should be in the title race (please, I want to see him ragdoll Punk), the Judgment Day feud didn't do him any favors booking-wise these past two months. And Rhea must come back to the women's division full time to give it a kick in the ass.

Oh it's my boy Jimmy! Apologize to your brother! Have growth!

Aww no it's time for the R-Truth/Miz match 🥺 my poor heart. I want R-Truth to win but I don't think it'll happen. Also, cool ring gear for the Miz, but I liked the old one better.

Lmao R-Truth, good on you!!

No no no no no don't hurt him!

It's gonna be a journey, Jimmy, I'm with you.

Let's see Raquel Rodriguez in action in the ring properly. Oh, she doesn't have a theme? Just Liv's? Shame.

Okay but I lowkey hope Rhea's hubris fucks her here and she loses because she doesn't tag often enough.

Oh Tiffy forced the tag, good on you, barbie girl!

That human missile was well-filmed.

Nia! 😍

I love all these women with toxic relationships beating each other up <33

Lmao Nia looking for the briefcase. She has comedic talent!

Alright, this Raw was kinda messy, but I'm interested in a lot of plots they're advancing!

[darkfictionjude]

If MC was a normal kind of guy, in the way MC's parents want him (in my case my MC is male) to be, would the RO's ever consider befriending or romancing MC?

I think there is a chance. More or less. But an MC that is basically Orla/Imre (based on gender), at least when it comes to popularity and level of standard attractiveness, I don't know if it would fare as well as real MC. For instance, Imre may think normal! MC is fake; Nia may think normal! MC is boring and Lorcan just has a harder time distancing Orla from MC (and probably hates a male MC anyway).

On the other hand, expectations would still be for them to become friends. Although the friendship may very well be shallow or for appearances sake.

Although, other possibility could be normal! MC is too much of a green flag for the RO's. In the sense that they prefer to not taint normal! MC with their issues (but I see this as unlikely).

Nonnie it’s kind of like you tried to answer your own question here like you want through all possibilities 😭

Yeah Imre’s friendship would be very surface-level he might date mc only to please his father but it wouldn’t go far.

Nia would find an mc like that very boring, a drone just like all the others that surround her.

Lorcan wouldn’t think much of them before the incident. After that he thinks they’re a psycho who hides behind their niceness

Ultimately a normal mc is just someone in town, someone they go to school with. Forgettable. Mundane. Yawn.

[hitchell-mope]

(An Understanding)

Kara (on the phone): yes. Yes Morgan. We know. Believe me. We know. Yes. Okay. Goodbye. Christ.

Mon El: what did he want now?

Kara: he wanted to make sure that we were doing everything we can to take the Luthor’s down AND that we have his company’s full cooperation.

Mon El: we that was nice of him.

Kara: yeah I suppose. Get the glasses.

Mon El: what?

Kara: Andrea’s at the door. Get the glasses please. Thanks. Andrea. What brings you here at this hour and how the hell did you know our address?

Andrea: do you still have supergirl’s ear? And does Alex still work with her?

Kara: yes and yes. But why?

Andrea: I’m in way over my head and I need help.

Mon El: Andrea. What is this about?

Andrea: they killed Russ. They could kill my father. They could kill me. I can’t go to Lillian because I want nothing to do with Lena and I need supergirl’s help.

Kara: okay. Let’s start at the beginning. Who killed who now?

Mon El: Russ was William’s friend? The one he thinks was killed by Lex?

Andrea: oh god they could kill William too.

Kara: Mike.

Mon El: Kara.

Both: could I talk to you for a moment? Thank you.

(Around the corner off the kitchenette)

Both: I think we should tell her.

Kara: why do you think we should tell her?

Mon El: I have a theory I wanna test out. Why do you think we should tell her?

Kara: if we want to help her we need to kick this crypticness in the can. Ready?

Mon El: ready.

(They remove their glasses)

Kara: Andrea. Could you c’mere please?

Andrea: yeah? Oh wow. Those nose prints go really deep.

Kara (reluctantly resisting the urge to punch Andrea in the face): open the cabinet next to the bathroom door.

(Andrea opens the cabinet. She sees the costumes. And promptly faints but gets caught by Mon El. Later on after a stiff brandy)

Mon El: take your time. It’s a lot to process all at once.

Andrea: you were there. It was you. Valor was you. Valor IS you.

Mon El: mhmm. My real name is Mon El. Final king of the deceased planet Daxam. My codename is Valor. My human alias is Mike Danvers. Formerly Matthews.

Andrea: and you. Is your name actually Kara?

Kara: actually. Yes. My real name is Kara Zor El of the House Of El from the deceased planet Krypton. One of two survivors here in earth. If the other survivor decides to tell you then you’ll know so please don’t ask. My codename is supergirl. And my human alias is Kara Danvers.

Andrea: right. Does Alex know?

Kara: yes.

Andrea: Cat knows too doesn’t she?

Mon El: yes.

Andrea: William?

Kara: no. Not yet. And you can’t tell him. He’s our friend and we want to protect our friends right?

Andrea: I won’t tell him. But I can’t stop him if he figures it out by himself.

Kara: we know. We learned that with Cat. She was like our Secret-Secret keeper. She knew but we didn’t know that she knew.

Andrea: so that’s why shr treats you better than me.

Kara: no I’m just better at my job than you are. Now. Is there anything that you wanted to tell us?

Mon El: or do you want us to guess?

Andrea: I think you might already know.

Mon El: I have a theory.

Kara: why don’t we head to the DEO so that you don’t have to repeat yourself.

Andrea: okay.

(At the DEO)

Kara: hey guys we have something to-oh shit. I thought you’d all still be in your uniforms.

Andrea: Samantha. Nia. You’re on their team?

Nia: Andrea.

Samantha: hey

Both: ummmm.

Mon El: okay the jig is up. Hey everyone. Yes. Andrea knows. We told her. She’s not like Lena. She needs our help. And that’s what we do right? We help people. There’ll be time for reintroductions later. But right now Andrea needs to tell us all something. Andrea. Go.

Andrea: they’re called Leviathan. They’ve got me on a leash. They killed my boyfriend. I need to do their bidding or they’ll kill my father. I need your help.

Kara: Brainy could you and Winn study this medallion please? Thank you. Everyone should probably get their uniforms back on then. We might be headed for a fight. Alex could we?

Alex: you heard her. Let’s get to work. I need to have a little talk with my sister and her husband.

PART III - Closure, Commencement

It was a hella busy day at the Riverton Saloon, and Polar was hard at work, servin’ out drinks and food with Nilly at her side. She expected her to have a bit of experience with mixology, but oh, Jimmy mother-loving strudel. The utter fluidity that she served and chatted up the patrons was just beautiful. It was clear she had experience. “Pols? Sidecar for Lady Marie, plain whiskey for Mista Yamado, and a ginger ale for Pluck.” The mere mention of her son’s name was enough to make Polar perk up and eye the whole establishment, before spotting that familiar, reptilian silhouette near the door, waving awkwardly. The raven-haired woman rolled her eyes with a sigh, making a mental note to question him later, before walking over to the bar counter and picking up the designated drinks before busing them to their respective owners. “H-hello, ma’am..” “Pluck. Hunny- Who exactly-? You know the Saloon’s off-limits UY16, you got SRFCM, or when I have UFM.” You’d think that a darkner the size of the guy would have more guts- But no, he flushed darker than a sapphire emerald, gingerly taking the drink and looking away, hiding his face under his hat as he took a sip. “Pluck. It’s nonalcoholic, so you’re fine. Just.. Who.” “Miss Rou. She asked you and Miss Nils to meetcha at the back.. It’s urgent, she says.” An eyebrow raised at that little quip, cornflower blue lips stretching into a grin. Polar looked outside to see a sleep-deprived badger, eyes wary and full of urgency. The raven-haired woman nodded at the badger, gently tapping Pluck on his left shoulder blade thrice. “You’re in charge now- Nia and Lu will handle the Saloon with you. You know what to do.” At this, the sandy-colored reptilian monster straightened up, and gave the lil miss his best salute, before rushing off to the counter. Polar smiled softly, before gesturing the badger- Now redhead, inside. The onyx-locked individual came into the breakroom soon after. “So, Rou, how did recon go?” “Yes, any information on Solan’s whereabouts?” Roulette looked a little ansty, taking a deep breath and beginning her tale… Oh. That was.. A lot of information to take in. Guaranteed, Polar was sure that whatever made the badger’s face look that serious would be a little grave, but- She wasn’t expecting an Aspect mess.

“..Kaycee and Solan. Jexi used Solan to experiment with her newfound slime powers- Mind control, maybe. Abnyssia Order member- Queen Lazarus, and Jexi.. Together. Juniper, Pillar of Time herself, going to the place and kicking... Oh.” Nilly laced her fingers together, bringing them to her lips and breathing on them softly.

“It’s safe to say that wherever Juni is right now, that’s where Solan is. And I.. I don’t want Kay to know what happened, not without him. Cause the slime people I encountered- They were nice, sure, but.. Whatever they were guzzling, it hooked them.”

..The slime that Vercos accidentally ingested. It was tying in, somehow.

Please, for the love of Lleu- Don’t let this turn into an infection. Please…

“Well, that’s one case closed. Somewhat. We just need to wait for the snakey boy to come home, and calm his little ferret.”

Rou, Nils, and Polar shared a knowing look at that. Boy, those two had a LOT to talk about.

———

“Dear Xi’jua- We’ll have s-so much to talk about.. And I have to [ lay it out word for word ]- She’ll be so worried- She already is out of her mind, I just know it-! Oh, stars, oh [ SPARKLES ], oh..”

In a neat little lab, somewhere.. Paced a tall anxiety noodle. Kind of. This noodle had wings! And a slimy, scaly, feathered-looking tail.. Our darling Solan, whom we haven’t seen in a while(credits to Lady Jexi here. We love you{we don’t, kinda?}for that.), is now temporarily residing with the Pillar of Time! Lucky guy bumped into her on a run- A run from a crazy, [ COMPLETELY OUT OF HER MIND ] slime lady! Since the nice hare said she knew some stuff about the body he was supposed to inhabit, he decided it was.. Safe, there.

When he told Juni all about his little predicament, she didn’t look necessarily happy. It reminded him of [ lil sprout ! ] for some reason. Gods, he missed her.. If only he could tell her everything. But he can’t. He can’t bear to face her now- And he sure as [ f### ] can’t let her see him like this!

…A ruined, soiled, pudgy, feathery mess of an Addi-ton.

Solan glanced resentfully at his reflection in the mirror. He still could taste that [ rotten ] cream... Ugh. He’s certainly staying away from that for a while. Hateful images of him being tied up, mindlessly ingesting slime, as his mind spiraled, and his body e x p a n d e d . . .

Solan couldn’t help but shiver at the thought, tapping at his belly again. Still a tad pudgy.

‘It comes with what you’ve been through. The body had to adapt quickly- And apparently, in your case, you got literal updates.’

That was what Ms. Juni said. It was normal, she reassured him. Albeit uncalled for- It was normal. In a way. She was gonna get to the bottom of this, and Solan would walk back to being his happy old self. No dragons, no suns, no fiery orange birds in his dreams.. No more sensations of eating pure [ light ].

T-they’ll get to the bottom of this.

[ Shiri.. Fei. ]

———

“Shit- Really?” Lyme’s familiar voice came out from the phone speaker, and Rou couldn’t help but laugh, nodding her head as she wiped Spritz off. “Yeah, but IMO, the weirdest part of it all was how I didn’t get a yelling after telling Pluck to grab himself a ginger ale. Rissy gal’s kinda slipping, ‘onestly.” A few sizzles could be heard from the loudspeaker and a few quiet, muffled voices in the background. “Mayb’ not, bae. Heard that- eh- Ducky o’er there, he got some gulps of that slime. He doing fine, by the way?” “..eh? Oh, Ver, yeah, he’s okay. He’s quarantined ‘n shit. Pol’s keeping a good-ass eye on him and what he eats.” “And she says she ain’t it for lovin’.”

Rou smirked, wiping her forehead and taking a deep breath.

“Well, she’s a tough bitch. I can’t blame her. She’s clearly gone through something in the past.”

“Haven’t we all? A- FOR THE LAST FUCKIN’ TIME- XENON!”

A boyish cackle could be heard in the background, with cartoony boing effects being thrown everywhere. Pft. He musta gotten into Lyme’s stashes again.. She missed that place.

“Gods- Anyway, bae- How’s that case goin’ for you ‘n Nils?”

The redhead perked up, dusting her cleaning rag and setting it aside, looking out to the ravine.

“Well- There’s a lot. There’s that gala showing, for some breakthrough or whatever, just some moneybags being fancy ‘n allat. We got into that event, thanks to Ryso and Anti’s expert coding skills- The kid has an amazing mentor. Pols got us the gigs so we don’t look outta place, Ace lent us some shit to do shit, the usual.

There's not much going on besides the fact that we gotta bring two people back. Nils has a sneaking suspicion that Areon’s adoption files are connected to this? Somehow? Cause she went sneaking around somewhere and found some files that connected em- So I guess we know now who’s the first one to get back?”

“..huh.”

“Yea- Just pretty stumped on what Reon’s gotta do with alla this. He could be an experiment, or the means of power, like what happened to Nilly.”

Ah, yeah. We love a good lab rat trope. Whereas Nilly was strapped and chained for her power to energize a whole factory- Rou was strapped and chained to an experiment table, tubes plugging into her arms, pouring that sick, white chemical into her blood-

Eugh. The redhead got sick from just thinking about it-...

God forbid she ever goes through that again. Cause he’s dead. That won’t ever happen again, ever.

Matiz will never perfect his craft- And Roulette herself made sure of that.

“..Bae? You good? You’ve been quiet.”

“Ah- No, yeah, I’m okay. Just dozed off into space, heh-”

“Take a nap. It must be pretty late there, eh? You’ve had a long day.”

“Tuck me in?”

He snorted, a quiet chuckle escaping his voicebox.

“Get your ass home then.”

..It wasn’t much. But these calls were all she had for now. And she’ll cherish them.

——— Cherish, hmm? That seems pretty heavy of a title. Let’s see how much would you choose that- over the real thing. Ruddy blue hands curled, cerulean strings dropping daintily into her Deep Blue martini, fizzing and popping softly in the alcohol. The drink glowed a sharp aquamarine, before settling. And everyone was none the wiser. A predatory glint shined in those light denim eyes, as the lady sipped quietly at her drink, listening, watching. You can always find a good tale to twist if you stay quiet after all. But alas. None of which caught her eye. Meaning that her business here was over- And it was time to make her way to the main stage. Three SOULSHARDS should be enough to pay for her drink. The star-looking darkner seemed puzzled at the currency handed to him but took it all the same. She didn’t mind the odd stares she got from the rest of the patrons. She was used to it, after all. Not every day you get to see a live Aspect in the flesh. But to her? She was sure that all she was to them was a pretty-looking blue lady. Hmp. At least she was still pretty. The woman deftly opened her parasol, twirling it absentmindedly in her hands. The worn, paved grounds of that little Meadowbrook town started to fade, being replaced with a blur of blues and purples- A light shimmer encapsulating her figure. It was all a familiar party trick to her now.

When she opened her eyes, she was in the middle of a lobby. It was certainly something- For a company that just started a few months ago. The woman smiled, pleased at her handiwork. From the outside, it seemed small and cramped- Those dripping string designs didn’t particularly help- But on the inside? It was spacious. Sleek, jade tiles covered the floor, as smooth plaster encircled the area. In the far end, a sleek, stainless steel reception waited, the Woven Hues logo standing proudly behind it. “Miss, you shouldn’t be here with-” The little lizard monster was silenced with a glare. “Where is Matiz? I have a scheduled meeting with him.” “I-I’m sorry, miss, but he isn’t-” Her eyes darkened, as she bent over the little lizard with a menacing grin. “Tell him the Lady of Strings is here. Now.” She straightened, closing her parasol and letting it hang neatly on her wrist, before flicking her irises down to the lesser. “I don’t like waiting.” She got her wish soon enough, the tall, thin form of a skeleton standing in front of a fireplace- The fire being replaced by a thick rainbow-looking liquid. Lava lamp. “Lady Fate. A pleasure.” His quiet, raspy voice crawled out his throat, scuttling around the room. His hollow, stretched face seemed to gaze straight at her- Even though he was facing away. But she knew. His eyes were all for her, anyhow. “My dear Matiz.” Her voice dipped a few octaves, becoming silky, saccharine. She seemed to glide over to the skeleton, fingers lightly tracing down his back. “You’ve been doing well lately.. So, so well.” He tensed up, white eyelights flicking down to the woman beside him. “My lady. May I ask what is the cause for your… Impromptu visit?” She let her hand fall, a small sigh exiting her lips. “Do I need a reason to visit you~?” The skeleton turned to fully face her, and she smirked. Finally. Slightly stretched, greyish bones shone dully in the dim lighting of the office, one eyelight small and bright, the other socket dripping of color. Cracks that had grown with age back in that poor Void had reverted, bringing back a light scar, stretching across his skull. Even after all of that- He was still handsome in a way. Destiny could never compare. “You know we-” “I know, I know, my dear. I just have a little tip for you. About a little piece of wood..?” Aha. That caught his attention greatly. Of course- Of course. Fate knew what the little pest did to him. The reason why fell in the first place. Tch. “Oh?”

“She’s grown up, nice and fine.. Just as you wanted her to. And~! She’s looking for you.” That serious expression broke away, being replaced with that oh so familiar smirk. If only he’d glance at her that way again. She knew he wanted to. He knew she knew. It was just more fun playing like this. “Well, let her come. I’d love to show her my final project. That because of her, I was able to complete, after all~ These years.” He gestured to the side, a dimly lit capsule full of whitish liquid- A human-looking silhouette floating numbly within the serum. It flinched a bit, making Matiz grin wider. “I’m sure she’d love to see what she became.”
