June 28: Canon Divergence (general) + Hairbeads/Beads

For a great event by @bagginshieldweek24

Exams are really hard this year, so I had no time for a full render. Hope you like flat coloured version though.

More headcanons and details under the cut

Headcanons:

— Thorin and Bilbo mixed their courting and marrying traditions, even if dwarfen courting guide has +100500 rules and strictly forbidden actions and hobbit’s just says “ok, you like the guy, make him good food and stay together for some evenings”

— Thorin will never tell anyone, but he liked the hobbit’s part more🌚🌝

— Bilbo made a marriage-bead himself. He pulled his full talent out for it but it still turned out “plain” by dwarfen standards. Thought Thorin thinks it’s the best piece of jewellery ever created in middle earth, as it has a part of his lovers soul. (The last person who allowed himself bad words about Bilbo’s craft disappeared mysteriously from Erebor)

— Thorin learnt how to make a special Baggins-Took-apple-pie. He’s now officially a part of the family.

— Everyone in hobbiton now thinks, that well, old Took was not the queerest (in all senses) hobbit of all times.

— Dwarves of Erebor genuinely like Bilbo for his diplomatic talent (any smallest bit of diplomacy is considered a talent for dwarves).

Details:

— Their flowers and clothes colours match.

— More grey hair to the gods of grey hair!

— The clothes have both fur and floral ornaments.

P.S. I’m still thinking about this colouring style, so I’ll be glad to know what you think of it.

@bagginshieldweek24: June 28 - Hairbeads + Fire

“I am sitting at my kitchen table waiting for my lover to arrive with lettuce and tomatoes and rum and sherry wine and a big floury loaf of bread in the fading sunlight. Coffee is percolating gently, and my mood is mellow. I have been very happy lately, just wallowing in it selfishly, knowing it will not last very long, which is all the more reason to enjoy it now.”

— Tennessee Williams, from a personal letter

[bagginshieldweek24]

We are only two weeks away from the beginning of Bagginshield Week 2024, fellow shippers!

So, in the meantime, short little guide and reminders:

The event consists of seven regular days with two prompts for each, plus two extra days to post to the AO3 collection, and two Alternate Prompts lists.

I will post the direct link to the AO3 collection the following Monday from this (June 17th).

All types of fanworks focused on Bagginshield are allowed, not just fanfiction and fanart, and there are no official minimums for any of them, but if you want recommendations you can find some here.

Likewise, and as I did last year, I will accept works that are more tangentially related to them. For example, last year I accepted a mood board on the prompt "Piercings & Tatoos" that explored it more in a general relation to the dwarves that appear in the films.

Because the event (and myself) are in Tumblr and AO3, the work must be posted to either or at the very least promoted in either for me to share it here. More information about posting will be given on the 17th.

Event Days & Prompts June 24: Role Reversal/The Shire Falls Instead + Bilbo is the Thain/Is a Royal June 25: Thorin in The Shire + Developing Relationship June 26: Soulmates/Soulmate Marks AU + Dwarf Culture June 27: Bookshops & Libraries + Khuzdul Language June 28: Canon Divergence (general) + Hairbeads/Beads June 29: Single Parents/Uncles AU + Gardening June 30: Gothic Horror AU + Sky/Storms

Regular Alternate Prompts: Alpha/Beta/Omega AU - Mythology AU (general) - Fire/Smoke - Enemies to Lovers, or Enemies to Allies to Lovers - Secret Relationship

Whump Alternate Prompts: "I thought I had lost you" - Gold Sickness - Hurt/Comfort - Fake Death/Believed to be Dead - Hidden Injury

a/n

___ Thanks again for all of the support, I’d love comments as well! And everyone is welcome to give me their suggestions, I don’t mind one bit!

Byakuya Kuchiki is the most erotic, passionate man that you’ve ever come across. His voice changes when around you. His face turns from a blank scowl to a gentle expression. How could he not? His wife was absolutely ethereal, gorgeous, and down right doll-like. There was something about you that he couldn’t shake loose from. Your finger was wrapped with Byakuya’s whole being.

There’s no doubt that Byakuya treats you like his Queen.

Byakuya would lay you down with care, he’ll admire your soft body and he’ll vocally pick out your insecurities. He will firmly say just how much he loves them, how much he loves you as a person. Your sweet hearted husband treats you as if you’re the only woman in the world. However, if you think about it, you are. You are the only woman in his world.

“You’re ravishing. I’m quite glad you chose this color, it enhances your skin color.”

“I do wish for you to keep this on, I’ll try not to ruin it.”

Byakuya is a man who’s quite fond of clothed sex. Lingerie, dresses, and heels. Specifically heels that strap up your legs. The gold color of them would completely wreck him. They look so good on your brown skin. He always thought you looked expensive. He can’t help but imagine them by his face. And a small secret is that he will kiss each of the strings and the heel itself before sinking his cock inside of you.

“My beautiful Queen, Mrs. Kuchiki”

“You’ve gotten me so worked up… I deeply apologize for what I am about to do.”

“Don’t be bratty with me, I will give you money to fix the damage..” Byakuya will simply be referring to your lace, your acrylics, and your makeup. Because really, he can’t help but pin your wrists above your head. His cock was above average, it was so pretty and elegant just like his aura. He bared no hair below, and it was clean. It didn’t curve, but it had a clean, straightened form. It dug inside you with soft, slow strokes, and it found your g-spot every time.

Byakuya seems like a gentle, sweet, loving man, and he is. However, one thing that can push him over the edge is that pretty brown pussy squirting on his cock. He doesn’t expect it all the time, no, but he can’t help but make you feel like you’ve reached heaven. His overstimulation would include fingering you the rest of the way, or softly sucking at your clit with passion. He’d completely forget about his own pleasure… but it’s because of you.

“What such beauty…” he may sound as if he’s alright.. but he’s fought against cumming at least five times.

Ichigo Kurosaki is such a shocker and a goofball. Being in an established relationship with him is a ride in itself. He would be completely invisible most of the time, but he still thinks about you. Whether you are a human or a soul reaper, you still barely see him. He is the strongest among most, there’s no way he can’t be on the front lines. But, best believe he’s thinking about you. He’s thinking about how you laugh, your overly glossy lips, your beads and how they make so much noise.

Lord knows he’s craving your touch. He can’t even function sometimes when he’s gone for too long. He misses your touch, how you cook, and your mushroom hat(he knows it’s a bonnet, he just loves to piss you off). Ichigo gets agitated so quickly, he usually runs to you when it’s beginning to be too much for him. All of it builds up because he’s unable to see you, but damn does he give it to you the second he sees you.

Ichigo is very caring, he’s more of a gentleman in bed.. but he won’t hesitate to slut you out if you ask for more. He legit doesn’t care if you have your bonnet on, or if some of your acrylics have broken off. Ichigo doesn’t even care if you’re wearing a plain, big tee. He’s pushing that shit up and he’s using his cock to make you cum.

Big boy Ichigo has a cock that tilts to the side. It’s very thick and long. He hits the best spots inside of you, and it’s absolutely perfect the way your insides caress it. He prefers gripping your ass cheeks with a tightness, and making you go slow while you’re bouncing on him or if you’re in the doggy style position. He especially loves it if the sun is beaming from the window, shining right on your brown skin. He likes the glow, he loves the softness of your brown pussy lips around his cock. The way you showed yourself to him.

“Just… like… that… fuck”

“Ass looks so pretty like this..” Ichigo will immediately burst if you shake your ass. He really can’t deal with it. He’s the type to cum in his jeans if you dance on him, what makes you think he can survive your wet pussy and your huge ass bouncing to him. And at the same time? No. He will get his revenge that’s for sure.

All that will be heard is your loud moans and whimpers as Ichigo pounds your kitty. The backshots would sound like bombs.. and your eyes will not only roll back, but your brain would go blank.

“You’ve lost it huh? Poor thing.”

“Don’t run yet… I’m not finished y/n… Baby cmon…”

Kenpachi Zaraki had a thing about himself. The male was too large for anyone to even consider him soft. However, behind closed doors, Kenpachi is a big bear to you. Not only does he fall into your little acts, but he will come to your rescue everytime. Much to his dismay, his obvious care for you has slipped in public a few times. If you’re visibly in danger, he’s literally going to go insane, more than he already is. You’re his everything.

Kenpachi has lost a lot, he can’t let you leave him too. That is why he is as careful as possible. He may jeer some rude comments at you, he may push you once or twice.. and he may even press your buttons, but he won’t do it harshly. Just like in the bedroom. It wouldn’t be all extravagant, hell, it may not even be in the bedroom. Unlike other men, Kenpachi doesn’t plan shit. If he gazes upon you fighting like a complete maniac, yet still being a sexy slut, he’s gonna get hard.

The captain is easy to please and turn on. You could stick your tongue out at him and he’s immediately hard. A fairly huge thing is the way you’re shaped, though. Kenpachi cared nothing for women in his earlier days, hell, he still doesn’t. But, you were just that one exception. Your height was so low, yet your power level was as a lieutenant(he’ll brag about you all the time).

But the thing is that Kenpachi watches you intensely while you take his cock. He was beyond average, as so was his height. There wasn’t really a huge shock when his cock thumped on your pussy the first time you two had sex. Overtime, it’s become easier for you, and it’s made Kenpachi revel in the soft feel of heaven.

“Damn this pussy is tight.”

“Stop squeezin’ me like that… before I fuck you to sleep.”

Kenpachi also loves when you talk to him like YOU own HIM. When in reality , it’s the other way around. If you dare to act bratty around him, that just makes him have a certain excuse for pulling at your braids, or whatever hairstyle you have in your head that day. He loves ruining it.. hey, he believes if you act that bratty, you don’t deserve it.. but it’s not like he won’t go to the human world and steal what you need… he’ll do it. Besides, like Byakuya, he’s wrapped around your finger.

“How can you take all of me… shit!”

“You gotta be shittin me if you think I’m pulling out. Go ahead an’ pass out, I’m just gonna keep goin’..”

Madara Uchiha is a man of substance. One may think he doesn’t take pleasure in sex often, but wow are they incorrect. Once a black woman falls into his arms, he’s completely blind to everything and everyone else. You sparked life into his eyes. His dullness had lightened the second you came around. His secret was being touch starved, and the second you came around him, bold as ever, he melted almost.

This man was scary, everyone knows this, but you weren’t afraid one bit. You even called him ‘sugar’, ‘baby’, and ‘love’. He scowled the first time he even heard it, he practically threatened you as well. However this didn’t deter you from him, it made you try to get closer. Madara started noticing himself fall when you’d bring him meals, speak to him, and even take up for him. He couldn’t help but pair you as his own.

And once you were his, there was no backing out.

Madara specifically took a liking to the opposites of you both. The only thing in common was that you both came from strong clans. Your brown skin, your hair, it was all different. Even the way you spoke was different, and he couldn’t help but listen to it in more ways than one.

“Open. Don’t hide your voice from me.”

“I suppose you rather I stop? No..? Then act as if you mean it.”

Madara can’t help it when he’s alone, he has to cum to your sweet words. He doesn’t even mind if they were slurred or babbles. He will overstimulate you until he turns you dumb. He will tie you up just to hear your whines, and he will make you say his name over and over again until he’s satisfied.

Madara’s cock was so damn big, so it wasn’t hard for him to get that outcome. He always has you creaming on his cock, and so much. The tears coming from your eyes never fails to make him even more rough.. although, he does try to be romantic. He can be very romantic and sweet, but sometimes he loses himself. His eyes turn that familiar red, his senses are higher, and all he can think about is catching that high while you’ve come on his cock more than four times.

The room would be potent with your delightful smells, and the Uchiha mark that was on that shirt you wore would be covered in sweat.

“It’s so damn hard to be gentle with you, my love. Especially when I think about how precious you’d appear with a large belly..”

“I wonder how many times I can place a baby inside of you… you’d love that right?”

Please say yes, because he’ll cum instantly…

Levi Ackerman was a virgin before you, please understand that. He didn’t have time for such matters. So, when coming across you, he’s absolutely appalled with how you act. You’re blunt, you have the same energy as him, and you’re beautiful. You were much different from the others. Not only was the island filled with fair skinned people, but they didn’t even know people could come out such a color.

There were some who thought you were weird, but just about every man there thought that you were beautiful. The sun would wrap around your skin, and Levi would stare so damn hard that Hange would completely destroy him verbally. Levi started to become so enchanted by you that he began thinking lewd. So, when he finally got his hands on you… he absolutely went berserk.

Levi runs on pure instinct. If it’s been a bad day, he’s pounding you harder than he looked like he could. He’s short, you’re taller than him, and thicker.. but you would be lying if you said he didn’t have you cumming every three minutes. His short height didn’t compare to his cock, that’s for sure. You kind of wonder how he gets to conceal that thing while wearing his uniform.

Levi is fifty percent gentle, the other fifty being a complete maniac. There’s no knowing what you’ll get this day, or the next. One day, he could be completely on board with you slamming your ass down on him, but the next? He’ll be making sure you know that you have no authority. He loves watching you try to catch your breath, it’s funny when you also try to keep quiet. You don’t want anyone hearing you, and Levi has also felt this way.. but overtime he’s become a bit of a smut.

“You can scream louder than that, y/n…”

“You make such a mess… Your pussy makes more noise than your mouth.”

Teasing is a huge thing for him. Levi can’t have sex with you without teasing you at least once. Seeing you begging for his cock is all he needs to get him going. That, or when you try to get into your uniform. He just knew your ass was huge, everyone could attest to knowing this. It was an inside joke for the scouts. Everyone would joke solely about how you struggled to put your pants on today. Levi would silently agree when he wasn’t in a relationship with you.. but now, most people have stopped saying it.. Levi gets jealous easily, and Jean and Connie have been the two to really get scolded and hurt by Levi.

Only Levi can talk about how huge your ass is. Hell, he’s the one making it bounce at night. He’s the one that has absolutely made you a pool of water. One of Levi’s favorite things would be watching you fuck yourself on his cock.. really. He loves when you’re bouncing on it, shaking ass on it, grinding on it. He won’t admit it, but he’ll cum fast… yet he’ll still be hard. And please don’t try to leave him before he's cum, he’ll grab your curls and will not let go until you finish your duty… he doesn’t care how much you cry and whine about it.

Rarely, Levi will give pity. He’ll see how weak you are by the end of the day, and he’ll suck up his problems to tend to yours. He likes to be clean and sterile, and he knows you are too, but eating pussy was a thing he had to ease into. He couldn’t even understand how you suck him off.. but if you could do it, he could do the same to you. So, he usually eats you out when you’re very tired or annoyed. He goes so slow. He makes sure to touch every crevice. That man’s lips have been absolutely everywhere… and I mean everywhere.. he doesn’t talk about it afterwards, but he’s definitely harder than a rock.

Levi may not say it, but there was something about getting dirty with you…

“Filthy little slut…”

“Might as well get you to squirt. You’re begging me to do it anyway.”

He just wants to drink it…

Portgas D. Ace is head over heels for you, so much so that he is whipped. You’ve sparked this sudden love for women, but he couldn’t look at another woman like this. He’s like a little boy finding out he can imagine things. His brain is absolutely destroyed the second he meets you. Your energy was just too sexy. The way you look at him, the way you lick your lips, the way you rub his arm. Ace can’t help but imagine just how proactive you could be in bed.

Eventually, he doesn’t have to imagine.. but his brain still sabotages him. He constantly thinks about how you’d look in certain things, certain hairstyles. He especially loves braids and he has a huge thing for them. They seem so perfect, just like you. Your hair defines you, and it’s the most important thing on your body, Ace would understand that fully. He knows it’s your crown.. that’s why he doesn’t touch it during sex.

Poor baby. Ace can’t help when you're sucking him off. He’s all over the place because he doesn’t want to touch your crown. However, if you tell him you can, he’ll be so gentle. He won’t even grip it, he’ll run his fingers through it and inspect the feel. He won’t even yank it when you’re deepthroating him. He’ll just pant and growl.

Ace will slap your ass though, let’s get that straight. He’s not all innocent. He will do whatever you tell him to do. Hell, he’ll even sit there handsomely and watch you tease him with a lap dance. Or, he’ll watch you use your fingers for pleasure. This man is a flip flop, he can dom you into the night, but will sub for you any second. He’s a sweetie pie, he will cherish every part of your body without hesitation.

All he asks is that you make it known that he pleasures you greatly. And he does. His cock is always so warm. It makes your whole body feel comforted, but sometimes it’s so hot that you two are sweating from all of the sexual energy. Ace can barely control himself when you’re draining him.. It could result in some accidental burns, but he will apologize so quickly.. but a secret is that he nuts pretty fast if you still keep going after the slight burn.. especially if you moan from it…

“You’re-… so beautiful, y/n…”

“I love you so much… Damn. I love this pussy too… I hope it loves me back…”

Ace is such a joker when you two are in bed. He can’t help but crack a few because that’s just how he is. He will laugh when you make a cute sound, and it’s contagious.. so you end up laughing and moaning at the same time. It’s actually quite hot to Ace.. and he manages to hold his orgasm, but that’s because he tries not to focus too much on it.

“Damn it-… y/n I can’t-…”

“Sorry! It was too tight, I couldn’t pull out because you were gripping me too hard!… it’s too tight…”

“It felt so good though…”

Midnight Blue Ⅶ

♤ Featuring: Neteyam x Female Omatikaya Reader

♤ Word count: 1.2k

♢ I'm Evelight_Navi on wattpad, parts will also be uploaded there.

♢♢----------------------♢♢

Lately, the familiarity of the sun streaming through the mountain's crevices had transformed into a comforting warmth. It was something you missed since hiding in the Hallelujah mountains. The night the sky people came down, a big part of the forest had burned. All of you were no longer safe, so it was decided to take refuge in the mountains. It did help that the mountains interfered with the human radars. That and also the wildlife that would attack the helicopters, or the Samsons as Jake said.

Six months had passed since the human's arrival, yet the unspoken argument between Neteyam and you had lingered. It created an unsettling mood whenever you two were around each other. Your once close bond had turned into distance and silence one. Neither of you were ready to face the conflict. Afraid the other one had found happiness elsewhere, even though the promise of not falling in love was in the background. How could either of you bring someone else to your secret spot together. You both felt betrayed in a way that you didn't think you would.

All of you sat in some sort of a circle talking. You were seated between Lo'ak and Kiri. Tuk was in front of Kiri as she was braiding Tuks hair. Next to Kiri was Neteyam, who was sitting next to Spider. Meaning Spider was in between the two brothers. "What will they bring back this time?" Tuk questioned. "Guns, ammo, supplies. Anything that can be useful, like always." Lo'ak answered. You knew Tuk wasn't asking about any of that stuff. She was too young to understand any of those things. She wanted to know if one of your parents would bring some of the minerals, the humans mined, back. Both of your parents went to one of the human mines. They were going to fight the humans to make sure they couldn't use the mine. This wasn't the first time they left to fight the humans, and it wouldn't be the last either.

"No, Tuk. They won't bring any minerals back." Neteyam stated. It was like he had read you thought as you were about to say the same thing. You glanced at Neteyam for a quick second. He was concentrated on Tuk. "Not even a shiny rock?" Tuk asked. She was looking at Neteyam, who didn't respond to her question. She looked around the group, hoping someone would give her the answer she was hoping for. Kiri had finished Tuks braid, meaning she also got Tuks pleading eyes on her. "They won't bring a shiny rock." You spoke up, which resulted in a sad Tuk. "But if you want you could make me a new hairbead. I'm in need of a new one anyway." Tuk jumped up in excitement with a huge smile. She ran away, yelling she needed to find the perfect material. Not only did this result in a smile from Tuk, but it also brought smiles to everyone around.

Out of the corner of your eye, you caught Neteyam gazing at you with a tender smile. "What is she going to get this time?" Kiri said, still smiling. Spider nodded before answering her. Lo'ak rested his hand on your back. He gave you an approving smile as you turned towards him. "You're so great with her." He said silently as to not interrupt the others. Neteyam couldn't hear what Lo'ak had said to you. But the way you smiled at his brother made him jealous. Only he didn't want to admit this, it would break the promise. All four of you looked questionable at Neteyam. He had gotten up and was about to excuse himself for leaving. "They are here! The warparty is back!" Tuk yelled as she ran towards the group. She grabbed Neteyam's hand and pulled him along. "You have a great intuition, bro." Spider said as the rest of you got up.

As the six of you arrived, the sully kids had run off to their parents. Leaving Spider and you behind as they disappeared into the crowd. You looked around, searching for your parents. Spider helped you look, but due to his smaller height, he wasn't much help. You walked in front of Spider as you two made your way through the crowd. You saw Neytiri with Tuk and decided to walk to her. Her smile dropped as she saw you walking towards her. She had gotten very serious in a second. Neytiri tapped Jake on the shoulder, who was surrounded by the other three, then glanced back at you. Jake briefly looked your way before looking back at his mate. With a nod,he approached you while Neytiri guided their children elsewhere before joining him. You felt your stomach drop at the sight.

Spider almost bumped into you by your sudden stop. He saw your ears pin back as you slowly shook your head. He walked next to you to see what was going on in front of you. He saw the sully kids confused as they walked away. While their parents, on the other hand, walked straight towards you two. You grabbed Spider's hand as a reflex. Spider looked at your hand before looking back up at you. You too, were now looking at Spider. "D-Don't let go, please." You felt your voice crack. You didn't want to believe what you were thinking. Even if it was the case, you didn't want to be alone.

"Spider, please leave. We need to talk to Y/n alone." Jake stated as they had taken you to their hut. Spider had not let go of your hand, just like you requested. But he could see that the longer he refused to leave, the worse you were feeling. Spider let go of your hand. Your eyes looked at him, pleading not to leave you alone in this situation. Even if you both knew it was for the best. Spider was greeted by Lo'ak, who pulled him with him the second he was out of sight. He had pulled him to the back of the hut, where the others were sitting. All of them listened to what was being said in the hut while staying out of sight.

"Maybe you already guessed what we are about to tell you." Neytiri began while she walked closer. Overwhelmed, you nodded, unable to speak. "Your parents didn't make it..." Your head dropped, those words Jake spoke were hard to swallow. You had a feeling eversince you saw Neytiri smile drop. But those words made it a reality you didn't want. "N-no, it can't be." You raised you breaking voice a bit. You felt like your knees were going to give in. Jake told you your father had gotten hit by one of the explosives. Your mother screamed as she ran towards him. The mine collapsed, trapping your mother under the debris. "She entrusted me with to take care of you." Neytiri said, resting her hands on your shoulders. "Her final words and thoughts were for you." You slowly pushed her off as she finished.

"I need some time alone." You whisper, almost too softly to be heard. Jake and Neytiri looked at each other. It was like they were reading each others minds. "We understand. You're free to go." Jake began, casting an understanding glance in your direction. "Just come back when you are ready." Neytiri finished before joining Jake by his side. With a nod, you walked out the hut feeling defeated.

Scions of Syralth AU: Arthur raised in the palace.

Big brainrot over this AU lately. In this version, Arthur is captured when his mother is killed, and Hjalte raises him in the palace. So his and Toni’s love story ends up being more of childhood friends to lovers rather than: Arthur hits Toni with a rock and Toni immediately is in love.

Arthur heard the distinct click of the lock. He turned to look around the lush greens and flowers of the inner garden. A stained glass roof covered it, letting sunlight twinkle down. No windows faced down to it, just grey stone covered in Ivy.

He was still in a cage, even here.

“Man, you really can’t do anything,” Toni’s voice piped from a hammock strung between two trees. Arthur started, then bowed.

“Your highness. I wasn’t aware that you were here.”

“I have my own keys, so don’t worry about breaking the rules. I’ll lock you back in here when I’m done,” Toni said, sitting up. Arthur sighed, taking out his notebook and walking over to a different tree and sitting down. “Couldn’t you just magically open the door if you wanted to?”

“Yes.”

“So why do you let yourself be led around like a child?” Toni asked. Arthur bristled a bit. Why did Toni always tease him? “Oh come on, you can’t always be content.”

“I am content with my life. It isn’t safe for me to leave the palace,” Arthur replied. Toni scoffed a bit. “And my magic isn’t a toy. If I use it improperly, I could really hurt someone.”

“You couldn’t hurt a fly,” Toni replied, swinging out of the hammock and coming over. Arthur rolled his eyes as Toni put his hand next to his head.

“Your highness, you’re being inappropriate,” Arthur said, trying to move away, his ears turning pink.

“You make it too easy,” Toni replied, his other hand resting on the ground on the other side of Arthur. Arthur’s fingers gripped his notebook and he bonked Toni on the head. “Hey!” He yelped, falling back a bit. Arthur grinned a bit.

Toni sat back up as Arthur took out his pencil.

“Seriously though, don’t you ever want to leave the palace?” He asked, scooting beside him. Arthur shrugged.

“What I want and what’s best for me are separate and distinct. Uncle knows what’s best. I’m safe here,” he said, looking up at the stained glass ceiling. Toni huffed a bit.

“But are you actually happy? Not content, happy,” Toni asked. Arthur paused.

“I told you, I am content.”

“That’s not what I asked.”

Arthur sighed through his nose.

“My needs are met, and I don’t want to be ungrateful to Uncle, but…” He trailed off, playing with his hairbeads. “I want to fly,” he admitted. “I want to see mountains, I want to feel the ocean on my feet. And, and I would like to fall in love or to even just kiss someone.” he added, looking down bashfully. Toni smiled and caught his chin with his hand, thumb tracing over his lips. “Your highness?”

“We’ve known each other for 9 years, can’t you call me by my name once?” Toni asked. Arthur flushed. “If you do, I’ll make one of your wishes come true.”

“How can you do that?”

“I’m the prince of the Barlosian Empire, don’t doubt my power,” he teased. Arthur’s ears turned red. Lila above, why was Toni like this? And why did he get so flustered by it?

“Toni,” he finally said softly. Toni grinned, and leaned in, kissing him gingerly. Even though he kind of expected it, it still left him breathless for a moment and he tensed before relaxing. Toni’s thumb traced over his cheek as he pulled back. “Toni,” he repeated, all flushed and giddy as Toni leaned in and kissed him again. Kissing Toni felt right, it made his heart flutter and his breath quicken. Toni pulled back again.

Wait, he realized. Toni was a prince, he couldn’t just be kissing a prince. They both could get in trouble. He should be studying and Toni should be getting ready for a meeting or a date with a noblewoman. They had responsibilities.

“I-“ Arthur paused. “I, I should go,” he said, standing up too quickly.

Soooo I’ve been working on something

(I realized that the hairbeads(?) are overlayed and I had to fix it)

lego friends as rh doll customs :3 ✨

🩷🩷🩷

marissa as olivia

there aren’t any rh dolls with brown hair, but i figured marissa would be the best for olivia since the skin tone and eye colour matches well! plus, she has more neutral makeup to work with. i’d just have to dye her hair brown and give glasses!

💛💛💛

vanessa as andrea

this was the best fit since her hair is already brown and braided, and she has more neutral makeup with brown eyes. adding hairbeads would add more andrea-isms and maybe a pair of headphones to match!

💚💚💚

poppy as mia

at first i considered ruby, but poppy fit best with her orange hair. you could probably find a way to mimic the ombré mia has, and you’d just have to eye swap to green eyes. the freckles already exist!

🩵🩵🩵

paris as stephanie

i originally thought of sheryl and victoria, but i forgot about the paris hilton doll. she’s expensive, but she’s got blue eyes and the right shade of blonde hair!

💜💜💜

kim as emma

this was the best fit, as asian representation is minimal in rainbow high. you’d just have to cut the hair and eye swap! but the makeup is neutral enough to work with

Welcome to Bagginshield Week 2024! DATES & PROMPTS

First things first, sorry for the slight delay!

All of the elements of this event (dates, extra posting days, prompts) have been voted for by participant or people interested in it, with the sole exception of one of the prompts for Day 7, and the specific dates of the week (the vote fell on the side of "second half of June").

Event Dates & Prompts June 24: Role Reversal/The Shire Falls Instead + Bilbo is the Thain/Is a Royal June 25: Thorin in The Shire + Developping Relationship June 26: Soulmates/Soulmate Marks AU + Dwarf Culture June 27: Bookshops & Libraries + Khuzdul Language June 28: Canon Divergence (gen.) + Hairbeads/Beads in general June 29: Single Parents/Uncles AU + Gardening June 30: Gothic Horror AU + Sky/Storms

Regular Alternate Prompts: Alpha/Beta/Omega AU - Mythology AU (gen.) - Fire/Smoke - Enemies to Lovers, or Enemies to Allies to Lovers - Secret Relationship

Whump Alternate Prompts: "I thought I had lost you" - Gold Sickness - Hurt/Comfort - Fake Death/Believed to be Dead - Hidden Injury

The event consists of seven regular posting days, for which there are be two distinct but easily relatable prompts per day, and two sets of alternate prompts with five prompts each (one is for regular prompts and the other is for "whump" tropes). On top of that there will be two extra days for you to post your works right at the end of the week (you can post the very first chapter of your work on either day and then finish it some other time, no problem!). You can also mix and otherwise use prompts however way you want: maybe you want to go about it the traditional way and pick one prompt for each day, or close to it and only switch one of them for an alternate; or you can take a Day 5 prompt, a regular alternate, and cap it off with a whump trope and post that for Day 1. Pick your poison!

Have a great time, and see you around!

P.S.: friendly reminder I'll be reblogging/posting things like references from here until the event takes place! Let me know if there's anything you might be looking for and I'll try t help <3
