VICTORIA DE ANGELIS Vivienne Westwood's Show // Paris Fashion Week 2024

[ratsoh-writes]

Hey y’all! Meet the birdfell siblings!!

Roost (birdfell sans):

He’s a bird monster standing at 5’4 with sandy tan wings resembling an owls! He’s 51 years old and has only one working eye, the other socket has a large crack going through and is unable to open any more.

Roost is loyal, affectionate, caring, flirtatious, teasing, and dumb as a rock. He is the perfect definition of a himbo lol. However he isn’t energetic (most of the time) and instead of golden retriever energy, he’s described as having more lazy Rottweiler energy. Roost is a possessive fellow and is quick to claim what’s “his” whether that’s friends or things, or even dates lol. He has so much confidence it’s mistaken for fearlessness.

For work, he’s a florist! Roost is surprisingly enthusiastic about flowers, the language behind them, and making beautiful arrangements. He has a good eye (singular lol) for matching colors and has a green thumb when it comes to growing his babies. His florist shop is in the land his sister owns.

His hobbies: flowers of course, he also does some gardening, long flights, axe throwing, sparring and wrestling, bird hunting, wine tasting, throwing really large rocks off cliffs to see them roll down, falconry, hooking up/flirting, babysitting (don’t worry he’s actually pretty good with kids)

Loved items: his sister/all the vineyard workers, kids, Mediterranean food, wines and cheeses, flowers of course, specially morning glories, the color green, ducks, football and the World Cup

Special ability: rocky skin: when he feels threatened his bones and feathers harden making a rough cutting surface and protecting him from attacks. It only lasts a few seconds

Magic weapon: he has two hand sized axes! They’re fairly simple but they get the job done.

Harpy (birdfell papyrus):

She’s an exceptionally tall bird monster standing at 6’9 feet. She has large dark golden brown wings resembling an eagles and a thin scar on her cheekbone. She’s a feminine presenting monster with a husky woman’s voice.

Harpy is sharp, serious, and very to the point. She’s an organized lady and very ambitious. She’s extremely protective and loyal to her friends and workers and is passionate about her loves in life. She takes no sh*t in life and is very brave in the face of any trial. Harpy is more of an honest straightforward person and is rarely sneaky about what she does.

For work, she owns a large vineyard in the mountains as well as a big chunk of land where she’s the landlord to some other farmers and businesses. Her wine is considered one of the finest of ebotts and her grapes are fought over by other brewers. She takes her job very seriously and expects a lot out of her employees, but with lots of work comes high reward from her.

Her hobbies: wine tasting, javelin throwing, shoe shopping (she fkn loves heels), collecting travel brochures, floral arrangements, weightlifting, long flights, horror and mystery novels, collecting antique weapons, falconry

Loved items: her brother and her employees, Mediterranean food, potted basil, wines and cheeses, the color purple, heels, antique weaponry, murals, antique books, her pet golden eagle Gaia.

Special ability: look at me. When she needs people’s attention, she can give off this aura that will naturally stop people in their place to look at her. She doesn’t need to utter a single sound

Magic weapon: a gorgeous ornate javelin with vines all up the staff

Extra details:

The birdtale AU was very warlike with small mixed tribes of humans and monsters constantly fighting over the little pieces of farmable land left. It created a large sense of loyalty between families but also made an au of very territorial monsters (and humans who came in the crash with them).

Roost and harpy’s parents were killed in one turf war when harpy was a toddler. Roost raised his little sister himself and according to her did a decent job. However most people think she’s the older sibling with how much she bosses him around lol

The birdfell au is interesting as they actually had five “royals” but none who had taken the oath (the ritual had been lost ages ago). They were unable to decide on two representatives without fighting, and so the birdtale royals stepped and took the birdfell monsters as their own. It was supposed to be temporary, but the fells ended up loving their fair and attentive new rulers.

Birdfell monsters are very scattered around ebott so every community has a little pocket of them somewhere.

Side characters:

Phoenix: birdfell grillby, he has a set of gorgeous flaming wings and a massive wingspan. Phoenix is ebotts top model and adores his fans just a little too much. He is also an old friend of rooks and was harpy’s main babysitter when rook was out

Lewis: a frail 89 year old middle eastern looking man and the grandfather of rook and harpy. (Their mother had been a half breed). Harper is enjoying his retirement on harpy’s vineyard as an “official wine taster” lol. He has a good relationship with his grandkids and is not so secretly glad that there are no more babies in the family lol

Twists and Turns (Prologue)

A/N: Like, don’t kill me but - A NEW SERIES!!! lol. The moral part of me said that it was probably the worst idea i could have come up with but this iniquitous, the predominant part of me didn’t care about the unhandled WIPs on my blog. So, written on the spur of moment, here - something penned at 3am when my urge to write was just to strong to resist.

I want to specifically dedicate this chapter to my lovely, sterling friend @ecritactuellement​ who is such a support for me on this blog. if not for her, i probably wouldn’t have posted this fic on her, so extra gratitude for this queen!  

This fic is dark! As always, I will include more deets in the first chapter of this fic, seeing as i don’t want to spoiler the entire prologue. But if you wish to get the list of info about the series, do contact me privately:)

Word Count: 1.3k

Warnings: language and mmmmm..... well, one surprising twist which i won’t unravel for you, lovelies hehe

___________

The sound of clinking heels drummed against the cobblestone street. It was frosty, excruciatingly frosty actually, to the point where you could admire your red-nosed face in the reflection lustrous of icicles that dangerously clung to façades.

You tried your best to ignore the fact that with each second your hands turned redder and redder as you strode through the pitch-black alley. It was a stupid, stupid idea to walk out of the house without any additional garments on; on the other hand, you wanted to be as far away from the place as possible after your already-third-this-week argument with Draco. And so you did, storming out of the Manor with a fully-fledged chagrin bubbling in you until you found yourself on streets with annoyed tears staining your way through.

But you didn’t care. Fuck it!

Not sure of your specific destination - maybe Daphne would be understanding enough to let you spend the night on the couch - you strode on, the sound of footsteps cutting through the silence of lifelessness. Uncomfortable it almost was to idle through the streets of London at night, lone and pregnable.

You desperately tried to push that thought away.

But suddenly it was quite hard to when you heard somebody else’s footsteps in the vicinity, the sound rendering you momentarily rigid as you abruptly picked up on the pace, desperately clutching the sleeve of your thin coat. And with all the bravery left in you, you slowly craned around - the dark-hooded figure was stalking just a few meters after you, their head downcast and both hands shoved in pockets.

At once, you deflated. Maybe it was just your head driving you mad, but a sudden fit of worst-case scenarios passed through your mind.

Don’t think about it, don’t think about it...

Subconsciously, your legs hastened in the movement which proved to be exceptionally hard in high heels. When you realized the Incognito behind you did the same, your mind started racing, your heart skipping beats, and breath coming out in agitated puffs. Quite literally, a feeling of foreboding was expanding in your chest and something in the back of your head told you, whispered, instructed, to run away with all the strength you had in your legs.

Without a second thought, off you went; and rather haplessly, so did the Incognito behind you. Tears began accumulating in your eyes out of impotence - it was unlikely for you to escape with those bloody shoes shackling your legs from moving any faster. Yet you run for your dear life.

But before you knew, the stubby fingers were gripping your wrist and abruptly halting your one-horse race. You turned to them, throwing yourself around and attempting to free yourself from the unyielding grasp. To that, the Incognito merely answered with an unimpressed chuckle, and only tugged you closer until you could feel their parched breath on your neck.

‘Fuck, fuck, fuck!’ the voice in your head started screaming when the Incognito drew a wand out of their pocket and brandished it just before your face.

“Well, well...” the voice drawled. You knew this voice from somewhere, you were certain... “If it isn’t our lovely Y/N.”

“What do you want?” you snapped, trying to obscure your absolute panic with arrogance. It didn’t work.

“Malfoy found himself a pretty pet, didn’t he?” He dismissed your question, picking out a few strands of hair and running his fingers through them. His face was still in great propinquity, his breath tingling the hair on your back, yet not enough to reveal his identity. He was almost whispering to your ear. “Vulnerable, naive, and stupid. You’re worthy of each other, aren’t you pet?”

When you didn’t answer him, he yanked the ends of your strands, hard, causing you to emit an unsurpassed gasp.

“Why are you doing that?” you asked, unnerved, which didn’t escape the Incognito’s notice.

“Some unresolved family business, you see. Back in the times of War, Malfoys made a line-up of mistakes that impacted my family in spades. And as much as they like to think their malpractice has been erased, there are still some people lurking to eventually bite their fuckin’ heads off,” he said that with such venom laced in his voice that you balked to say anything. As if on cue, he suddenly looked at you, took your chin harshly in between in fingers, and began stroking your cheek with his filthy thumb. “Then I thought to myself, ‘What would be a breaking point for Malfoy?’ He is insensitive, lacking compassion for anyone but himself. But then it occurred to me that’s not the truth entirely, is it? Because you are his weak point, you are his fuckin’ frailty, aren’t you pet?”

His thumb was still painfully pressing into your cheek whereas you squirmed and tussled laboriously, try as might free yourself from his solid grip. “Let go of me, you fu-”

“Oi, consider words before they leave your mouth,” he threatened, his thumb thrusting deeper and deeper into your cheek, making you eventually hiss in pain. “One word, bitch, and I swear I won’t be as merciful as now.”

You tried to think quickly, come up with a plan that could disenthrall you from this malicious deadlock. Your eyes swiftly scoured through the surroundings - not a living soul nearby. Riveting back to the Incognito, you noted that he was speaking again but his voice was muffled in your ears by the pounding of your troubled head.

No wand. No one to implore help from. Maybe you would try to make an escape in a way. But how?

Soon enough, however, it occurred to you what you have to do; taking a long, sweeping swing with your right leg, you aimed your knee towards his delicate parts which landed precisely where you wanted it to. To the Incognito’s dismay, he bent over in half, let out a disgruntled howl, and you taking opportunity from his lack of attention, arduously wrested your hand from the stubby fingers.

The Incognito slurred and murmured insults under his breath, but you were already too far away to hear them. You bolted, and bolted, at once very determined to get home back away to Draco, and with that thought buried in your mind, you hoofed it through the cobblestone alley.

Winded out, you were scurrying with your shoes absolutely sabotaging your feet. Your heart was acutely rattling against the ribcage, a part of you already accepting the hopelessness of the situation.

But that feeling was short until you finally, finally noticed a flare of dim light at the end of the street, making you exhale in relief. Against the pain of blisters on your feet, you impelled yourself to hasten your speed, even though it was already straining your fitness abilities.

The sound of soils stamping on the floor reverberated through the alley, and you were instantly keenly aware that the Incognito galvanized himself into hoping into the race too. What you were also keenly aware of was his panted breath which bestowed you with a slight flicker of hope at a thought that he perhaps may relinquish chasing you.

You were hastily approaching the front porch of the lit house. The heavy, toilsome steps were rounding closer and closer to you but somehow you were more fortified about your position - other people were within your reach just a few meters away.

With tears still specking your cheeks, you ran on the territory of the property, out of breath, with a lump in your throat, but heartened. You turned around to see a distance between you and the dark-hooded figure, and panic overcame your body when you beheld how close he actually was.

You launched yourself onto the stairway of the house, desperately, but before you were able to reach the oaken door before you were able to grab the lion-shaped knocker, the wheezing voice echoed again:

“Exporsa!”

Limp, startled, and divested of energy, you collapsed.

And everything turned blank.

My official ask submission lol:

As the village seer, you peer into the mystical to give the villagers sage wisdom from beyond. The problem is, you're not magical, you're just smart and you live in an exceptionally dumb village

A bit nsfw.

Half-Right

Zelda watches him walk into the clearing, sunset-orange light dappling against him sideways as he swallows a tremulous breath, lowering himself to sit on his heels, hands open, palm-up in his lap and head bowed in uncertain offering, and a pang of sympathetic guilt spears its way out her chest—she'd let this situation get out of hand, a flippant remark ("Link has caught the eye of a powerful creature and may soon be devoured"—honestly, no one had the brains to understand Zelda was capable of both physical attraction and sarcasm?!) turning into many questions hurriedly answered to the point that the entire village became convinced Link's inescapable fate was to be eaten by some monster in these woods at sunset; she hadn't meant to frighten him, truly, and she's a bit surprised he is frightened considering he's the one villager who always seems smart enough to be on to her (she had, after all, predicted the eclipse via mathematics, not mystical future-sight, just as she'd predicted what years would bring high populations of mosquitoes, ticks, biting flies, and other pests to name a few things).

It isn't her fault she has a functional mind—she simply sees things, and no one else seems to (except Link, who squints at her suspiciously every single time, and the older they'd become the more heated she'd grown under that piercing blue gaze, especially when, like today, he went shirtless in hot weather)—but it is her fault Link's kneeling there trying to even out shaking breaths, and she makes up her mind, stepping toward him with a rustle that snaps his head up, his eyes widening first in fright and then in something unnamed; when she reaches him, she opens her mouth to apologize but lets out a gasped "oh!" instead as he pulls her suddenly into his lap, legs on either side of his, and all the heat she'd felt with each of his stares slams her gut hard.

"I hoped it would be you," Link whispers, his lips feathering over hers as she begins shaking as violently as him, that heat moving directly to where her lap meets his, realizing her so-called-future-sight has been blind where he's concerned, for his trembling isn't a sign of fear but of anticipation and desire—her hands thread through his soft hair and explore the definition of muscle along his shoulders as she presses her open mouth to his, as he probes hers then pulls back to bite his way to her ear where he says, "You were wrong this time, Zelda," leaving her wondering for just a moment, his breath fluctuating against her skin before finishing, "you're the one who'll be devoured"; he lays her back and begins making quick work of her body in a line from her ear down her torso's center, and as he reaches his goal her last glimmer of logical thought is how very, very pleased she is, just this once, to have only been half-right—she'll correct him later.

[Thank you so much for the fun ask, Deilia!!]

[ushisrever]

Your writing is so good!! Ilysm, can I request a Oikawa x reader where she used to be Ushijima's (not sure if I spelled it right) ex girlfriend. She and Ushijima broke up in like halfway through the second year because he cared more about volleyball then her and ended up cheating on her. In her third year she transfered to Aoba Johsai, since she is exceptionally smart she got accepted easily and became the volleyball team manager. Oikawa fell in love with her (genuinely) and Iwaizumi is low-key the main shipper. So at Spring High Ushijima met her again, Oikawa steps in . At this point you can make up the story however you want. Thanks 😊 ily

Hi Hi! Thank you for the request. It's my first time writing a piece that has a theme where someone cheats on the main character. And its my first time writing Ushi as the jerk of the story lol. Though, I always like a little challenge. Here it is. I hope you like it! :)))

RED STRINGS

Pair: Oikawa Tooru x gn!reader (ft. Ushijima Wakatsohi)

Genre: hurt/comfort, fluff

Content: cursing, suggestive, cheating

Word Count: 3k

Summary: Sometimes, it takes a tug from the red string of fate to really take you to the person who will truly love you. After knowing that the person you thought you love is the person for you, Tooru shows up to stand as someone who will love you for who you are.

Do you believe in the red string of fate?

When someone asks you that question, you already know the answer. Yes. You believe in the red strings of fate. You believe it as something that pulls you to where you are supposed to be. Therefore, whatever decisions you make, you always think that it’s those red strings of fate pulling you toward it.

However,

When you saw that large built man standing at the other side of the court from you with men and women cheering for the teams playing, you only then realized that the red strings of fate is never a simple thing. It isn’t just one straight string tied to yours and to your significant other.

You only then find out it wasn’t an easy red string of fate when you met that man standing a few steps away from you. Ushijima Wakatoshi.

When you met this stoic, quiet, and cold looking man you sweetly called Toshi, you were head over heels for him. When he approached you and told you those sweet nothings at the day where you decided to volunteer in helping the Shiratorizawa’s manager, you told yourself that he is that person at the other end of the string.

***

“You’re really pretty,” he said with a shy blush on his cheeks.

“Oh...uh-I..thank you,” you said as you arranged the drinking bottles already used by some of the team members.

“Um...I-I don’t know if this is weird, but I was wondering if we could go out for a coffee sometime?”

And all you could do is smile so widely at the thought that you found the person at the other end of the string.

***

You believed that for longer than you can remember. He was the sweetest man you could ever ask for. He’ll walk you home after his practice. He’ll send you text messages in the morning, afternoon, and at night. You never could have asked anything and so, you did your best to reciprocate everything. He was the person at the other end of the string after all.

You attend his games. You bring him food you know he’ll like. You’ll text him how he is. You just do everything you can to tell him that you love him too. However, how long can the foggy lie fade away from your eyes?

Months.

It took months.

And for a moment, you thought you could have just found out about the truth when the school year is already finished. However, no. Fate wants to slap it on your face. It was never an easy thing to believe. It’s either you deny the new truth in front of you or you hold on to the truth you already know.

Though, at the day when you realize that Toshi has always been giving his time in volleyball and hasn’t exactly been talking to you even if you visit him, you realize that you two should at least talk about this. Of course, you want to fix it. He is after all the person at the other end of the red string. Although, when you heard that familiar voice mixed with someone else’s moans coming from the gym’s locker room, you finally saw the truth. When you muster up the courage to witness Toshi pulling pleasures from another person, you knew then that he wasn’t the person at the other end of the string.

***

“Wait! It’s not what you think,” Toshi catches up to you as you turn away when he sees your figure standing and witnesses what has unravelled.

With eyes filled with tears you turn to look at him. Though, your tears may show how your heart is slowly shattering as the truth sinks in, you never give him the satisfaction of simply being a girlfriend left hurt. With a quick thought, you swing your hand across his face leaving a red imprint on his cheek.

“If you don’t want me anymore….then fucking tell me. Do you think cheating on me makes you a man? No. It just makes you a jerk,”

You step closer and glare at him but your teary eyes give away the fact that you are hurting. “If you don’t want or love me anymore...then be a man and tell me we’re over. It’s that fucking easy,”

With nothing more to say, you turn away and vow that you will never face him again.

***

However, even with that incident, you really felt like you were for him. You feel the tug. You feel the tug towards him, but you wouldn’t be foolish to try to get back to him. Why go back to someone who never even took you as part of his priorities and better yet did not even take you as his significant other?

You never wanted to meet anymore. You do not want to even pass by him or even be in the same room as him. That is why when your parents asked you if you could transfer to Aoba Johsai High due to a few circumstances, you did not complain at all. You transfer with no hassles at all, and eventually forget about it.

Though, you wouldn’t deny that tugging feeling as if the man who cheated on you is trying to win you back. You do not want to go back to it. Therefore, you find something to fully distract yourself from the eventual texts and calls you’re getting from your ex-boyfriend.

When you found out that the Aoba Johsai volleyball team is in need of a manager, you did not hesitate to apply for it. And there is also nothing to hesitate as well for the team to accept you.

Though, the strings of fate may have tugged you into that direction afterall.

It was a different atmosphere when you became the Aoba Johsai’s manager. It felt lighter rather than in Toshi’s team where everything felt too tense. Being the Aoba Johsai’s manager gave you a breather from the incident. However, little do you know, someone else is tugging the red string connected to you.

The captain of the team. The charmer. The sweet yet passionate man. Oikawa Tooru. The moment you introduced yourself as the manager of the team, he just...couldn’t...take...his….eyes...off..of you. But not in a creepy way.

Other than the beauty and your sweet personality that he eventually fell for, there was also something else that he noticed. Sadness. He could see it in your eyes. Because of that, he does his best to make you truly smile. Everyday he’ll greet you. He’ll try to make small talk with you. He’ll ask for the things you like such as snacks, flowers or just anything. The next day you’ll find your favourites placed on top of your bag. However, you never took those gestures as something that means something. You just really thought he’s simply the friendly type.

You talk to him. Yes. You too get along - too well to be exact. Sometimes, you just realize that the two of you have been sitting on the floor of the gym and just...talk for quite some time. It felt easy to be with him. You didn’t need to figure things out. He’s like an open book that is easy to trust. You even managed to tell him more about yourself and the same goes with him. Eventually you two became closer and something in your heart grew more. However, you never wanted to act upon that because you do not want to have that foggy reality again. You know Tooru wouldn’t do it, but you never wanted to take a step forward without being sure of Tooru’s feelings.

Tooru’s best friend, Iwaizumi Hajime, would literally drag Tooru away and get him to focus on the practice. However, sometimes...Iwa just glances at the two of you and looks away. Though, when Iwa notices how much there is no progress to the two people he subtly ships together...he may have taken things in his own hands.

“Iwa-chan, I think Y/n doesn’t like me,” Tooru tells his best friend as they are in the middle of practice. Iwa glances at where you are standing busy with picking up the volleyballs.

“Did she tell you that?” Iwa said acting like he doesn’t care at all when actually he’s restraining himself from just dragging you and Tooru to a coffee shop and finally have the two of you date.

***

“No. But...I don’t kno-”

“Ask her out,”

“What? But...I-”

“You like her, right?” Iwa looks at Tooru in an annoying way.

Tooru nods.

“Then what’s the point of hiding it? You two get along. It never hurts to try to ask her out,”

Tooru seems hesitant. As Iwa sees the hesitancy on his best friend’s face, he sighs in frustration and walks over to you. You look up at Iwa with a confused look.

“Y/n, is it okay if I ask you something?”

“Of course. Do you need anything?”

“Are you possibly interested in Tooru?”

Your eyes widened at the question and probably your cheeks were heating up. Iwa got his answer. He turns away and goes back to Tooru. He drags his weirdo friend to you and has him stand in front of you.

“This weirdo likes you too. As in one hundred percent. If he asks you out, you would go out with him, correct?”

You look at Tooru who is a blushing mess and goes back to Iwa to nod.

“There you have your answer,” Iwa gives Tooru a slap on the back.

“Ask her out, dumbass,” Iwa said and left the two of you alone.

You watch Tooru’s red tomato face as he tries to get the words to come out of his mouth. He sure doesn’t want to mess it up. However, you stop him before he says something.

“I would love to go out with you,” you smiled at him.

***

Dating Tooru was so much different from dating Toshi. You never meant to compare. However, there are times where you feel hesitant to do things for him because you do not want to drown from the feeling and realize once more that it's not true. Although, when Tooru found out about your past relationship when you once opened up to him, he made sure to let you know that you can trust him. He’s affection extends from being there emotionally for you and simply caring for your well-being.

He’ll never stop giving you things you like. He makes sure that you two more than often and reminds you that he genuinely loves you. He will even whisper or shout “I love you” to you regardless if there are people around. It took awhile for you to let yourself drown from this feeling. You show the same affections as well to tell him as well that you feel the same.

Then...Spring High Competition came.

And here you are standing a few steps away from the man who made you a crumbling mess.

You are standing at the side of the court where your team is while the Shiratorizawa team is at the other side of the court. You want to ignore the inevitable. You try your best to not look at Toshi at all. However, when you had to run to the other side of the court and grab the volleyball that went off-court, you just froze where you only stood a few steps away from him.

“Y/n?” His voice was stoic as always.

You immediately cut your gaze from him. You grab the volleyball and turn away.

“I was hoping we could talk,” he stops you from your tracks. His voice was menacing for others to hear.

You know there is no point in talking to him, but why does it seem like you are being pulled to him? You do not have feelings for him. No. You really don’t have any more. Your heart belongs to Tooru. You know that for sure. However, you felt too suffocated feeling like you just left something from your past.

“She doesn’t have any reason to talk to you,” You hear Tooru’s voice. You look up and see Tooru walking to you but his eyes are at Toshi. Tooru interlaces his hands with yours. You turn to see the face in Toshi’s face.

It’s expressionless as always. However, when his eyes gaze from you and at Tooru, he simply nods and finally turns away to go back to his team. Your gaze looks up at Tooru who then gives you a comforting smile. You mumble a thank you and head back to your team.

Though, even if Toshi's team is playing on the court beside yours, you could feel Toshi's gaze landing on you from time to time. With the place where you are standing, and him being at the opposite court, it's easy for him to glance at you. You try to ignore it. You ignore it, but you can't ignore the feeling that someone is staring at you.

It never stopped for the whole match. When the Aoba Johsai's match finished with them on the victory side, you tended to the teams real quick before excusing yourself to the restroom.

You really just need some fresh air. As you reach the restroom, you splash water on your face and take a breather even just for a few minutes. Though, knowing that there is another match to go through, you know you can't take long inside the restroom. Therefore, after drying your face, you did not waste anymore time and head out.

"Y/n," That voice again. That damn voice is calling you again.

You turn to see Toshi standing a few steps away from you.

"I have nothing else to say to you," you said and turned away.

"But I do," Toshi spoke once more.

You did not want to turn to him, but you can definitely feel him getting closer. Though, before you decide on the plan of simply walking away, you hear your boyfriend's voice from afar.

"Y/n," You turn to Tooru's voice. From behind a few steps away from Toshi, you see Tooru walking closer. His eyes are a definite expression of someone being protective.

When you think he'll punch Toshi or simply stand between the two of you, he didn't do it. He passes by Toshi without even giving him a glance and walks over to you. In a blink, he cups your face and crashes his lips with yours. It took awhile before you kissed him back.

Tooru's kisses are usually sweet and gentle, but this time it’s...possessive. it's as if he's claiming you. However, you know for sure that's not necessary. You are all his. However, you couldn't comprehend why Tooru is doing this.

When you are feeling a little bit more heat between the kisses, you put your hand on his chest to push him. However, before you can even do it, you moan against his lips. You never intended to do so. You did not know what Tooru just did to pull that sound from you.

Though, at that sound, Tooru smirks against your lips and finally pulls away. He stands straight and tall. You look up at him and see him glare at Toshi. That glare he gives to his opponents during a match. You turn to Toshi and as usual, his expression is hidden behind that stoic look.

"Were you about to say something? To my s/o?” Tooru tilts his chin up and his figure becomes some sort of shield from Toshi's gaze.

Though, you are not going to just hide behind Tooru. You then step beside Tooru and look at Toshi.

"You had your chance to show me...tell me that you love me then. Don't expect I'll come running back to you all because what...you miss me- you still love me? I have no time for that bullshit. I am happy now...so leave us alone," you said and pulled Tooru with you. The two of you turn and walk away from Toshi.

You do not look back. However, this time, you did not feel any tugging anymore. You felt free.

"You okay?" Tooru asked as the two of you walked.

You turn to him and the realization hits in. The red string of fate is not a simple straight string that leads you to your significant other. The string is a blubbering mess and sometimes it gets entangled with a string that isn't supposed to be there. It'll be difficult to get away especially if it is the one that's preventing you from following the other end of the string.

Though, sometimes….the other end of the string finds you instead. It's there to help you detangle the string that isn't supposed to be there.

And when you finally cut off that string, you see more of where your string connects to.

You realize it now as you look at Tooru with a smile.

"I never felt better. And it's all thanks to you," you replied.

"Aren't I the best boyfriend ever?" Tooru cheekily said.

You chuckle and look ahead. "And a good kisser as well. When did you learn that?"

"Really? You like it?" He said, sounding like a child who just showed his greatest trick.

"Then I must do it often," he chuckles and stops you with his arms wrapped around your waist. He is about to lean forward to you for a kiss when you stop him and push him away.

"Not now," you said with a smile. He pouts as you pull away from his grasp.

"Then can we do it again later?" He smirks.

You walk ahead of him. "Only if you win this one,"

He chuckles as if to take it as an easy challenge. And you swear, you can feel him brewing a plan in his head. With a blush, you know for sure what it is. And you can't wait for him to win. Your red string of fate.

NIA'S MASTERLIST

[jerzwriter]

Just your positivity fairy here to spread a lil love for our fav couple🧚‍♀️✨

What are Ethan & Casey’s favourite things about one another?

Now time for my original pairing, If we were to ask @liaromancewriter or @genevievemd, they'd say they should be my ONLY pairing. 😂😂😂

Let's dig into the canon love or my life... Dr. Ethan Ramsey and Casey! (and another wonderful edit from Mal!)

Casey's Favorite Things:

Physical: His. Eyes. Seriously, those eyes can break her on a spiritual level. They are so expressive, especially for her. As an intern, one look would let her know she was in serious trouble, another would tell her he needed her, and another... well, you know where I am going here.

Personality: His moral code and willingness to stand up against the status quo. Those two things told her, early on, that in spite of the gruff exterior, there was much more to him. Once she found the heart underneath it all, the combination of all these things had her under his spell.

Now, I'm not going to lie, that sarcastic asshole-ish-ness he can be guilty of... she digs it. lol But she also helps him see that sometimes keeping it under control is a good thing.

The Way He Loves Her: One of the reasons she loves him is because of his moral code, so even though it pained her, she kind of understood why he kept turning her away. But then he couldn't. The knowledge that he loved her enough to pretty much turn his worldview on its ear, that's pretty heady stuff right there.

Ethan cherishes her. He sees her as all things good in this world. Remember that "Sunshine" and "Protector of the Sunshine" meme you made... that is them. He makes her feel adored, and he makes her feel safe... all the while recognizing that she is his equal.

And onto the 🍆... the man is a giver, OK. A very, very generous giver. And she is more than happy to be the recipient of his generosity. lol (She looked into having his tongue insured by Lloyd's of London....)

Ethan's Favorite Things:

Physical: OK he is a boob man. He has always been a boob man. He will die... a boob man. So they are high up there... but there are things higher. For one, her legs. Casey is 5'9" and all legs and when he sees her at work, maybe in a skirt or heels, the man can think of nothing but those legs wrapped around him... and he needs to excuse himself. lol But, her eyes and smile win for him. Her eyes, for the same reasons she chose his. Her smile, because it's his world.

Personality: In many ways, she is the polar opposite of him. She's bright, shiny, optimistic, full of life, gives people the benefit of the doubt, dances until her feet hurt, smiles all the time... things he'd normally find irritating... but he doesn't. And as he gets to know her, he realizes she is everything he wishes he could be. She balances him, and he balances her. He knows this and thinks it is perfection.

The Way She Loves Him: She loved him, even when he told her not to. She loved him, even when he pushed her away. She loved him when he did not love himself. She loved him like no one ever had... and that love made him believe, once and for all, that he was worthy of love and, hence, he began to love himself.

And... the fruits and vegetable section... 🍒🍑🍆... Ethan is usually more of the one in control, and both he and Casey prefer it that way. But, every so often she takes over and when she does, his mind is blown. So if she wants to drive him exceptionally wild, she takes the driver's seat. :)

There you go... more than anyone ever wanted to know about both of my pairings! lol

Thank you, Frankie! :)

Tiny Dancer | a drabble set in the “It Is What It Is” universe

a/n: For @stilesssolo I said I would do a drabble of smol!Jon in ballet tights. 🤣 Here it is! Also I just threw his moodboard together in like ten min which is why it is trash.  But then again, so am I, just absolute Jonerys trash, lol.

————————

Dany grunted, separating back the heel of her ballet shoe from the fabric, reaching down with her knife and gouging out the shank of the shoe, releasing a triumphant cry when she yanked it out, holding it into the air like a prize. She dropped it to the floor with the rest of the detritus that accumulated when she prepped her shoes. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her boyfriend frowning at her, over top of his book, his glasses glinting in the light coming off the fireplace in front of them both. “What?” she asked, chuckling, not stopping her destruction of the shoes.

“Aren’t those things rather expensive?”

“About 200 dragons a pair, yes.”

“And you just…destroy them?”

She folded the shoe backwards and forwards, easily moldable now that the shank was out. Once she had it the way she wanted, she picked up her darning needle and threaded it, beginning to work on the ribbons. She shrugged. “It’s a disposable product at the end of the day, these need to fit me perfectly.” She wiggled her toes out, so he could see the broken nails, bruises, and calluses that covered her small, yet strong, feet. It used to upset her, how she couldn’t wear sandals or get cute pedicures the way all her friends could, but she was proud of her feet. They showed how good at her profession she was, how athletic and strong. They were what kept her going. “Because they protect these, ultimately.”

“I guess I won’t understand.” He set his book aside, crawling onto the floor to sit with her. One of her cats, Drogon, was fussing with an end of her ribbons, batting it back and forth in his paws. Ghost eyed them all and she kept watch on him out of the corner of her other eye, lest he run off with one of her shoes again. He’d taken a liking to them.

Although she’d discovered one day that his chewing on one of the shoes had actually softened the toe box a little. It wasn’t a habit she wanted him to get into though. “You didn’t see your mom doing this?”

Jon laughed. “Yeah, I did, sometimes helped her. She would give me the shoes and have me bang them on the floor with her.”

“That’s actually genius.” Little boys were all about that loud noise and screaming. Lyanna getting a small tiny Jon to beat the shit out of her pointe shoes was actually a nice sight. She pursed her lips up, smacking a kiss to his cheek. “Baby Jon.”

His palm came over, pressing to the very tiny bump on her waist, his face soft and goofy. “Baby Dany.”

Her hand covered his, squeezing lightly. “Baby You and Me,” she said, accepting his kiss. He patted her belly gently and moved, getting to his feet. She glanced down at her bump, which had not deterred her from dancing; if anything she wanted to keep it up, to stay in shape throughout the pregnancy. It had been quite a shock, discovering that after only a year they were expecting, but it was only a matter of time.

The bell at the front of the house, a small cottage they’d located on the outskirts of Winterfell, rang—more like gonged—Ghost released his high-pitched whine, closest thing he could do as a mute. He jumped up and bounded after Jon to the door, while she remained on the floor, stretching out her legs to either side into a semi-splitz and forward bend, figuring maybe she’d prep for a workout later and get some stretching in.

At the front door there was a happy laugh, the sound of bags rustling, and a moment later Jon entered, smiling wide. “Mom came to visit.”

“I actually come bearing gifts.” Lyanna, who wasn’t quite as petite as her, nimbly stepped around the various objects on the floor, and held aloft two gift bags. She glanced at the shoes piled up that Dany had been working on, and chuckled. “Oh, I remember those days. Shoe prep. You know I used to get Jon to…”

“He told me,” she laughed, coming up and reaching for Lyanna. It was still amazing to her that this woman would be her mother-in-law one day, when she idolized her as a small girl. She poked at one of the bags, nudging into the tissue paper. “You didn’t need to bring anything.”

Lyanna patted her belly, which Dany pushed out a bit obnoxiously, since at five months she wasn’t quite as big as she’d expected to be. Doctor said itw as because she was an athlete, she might not pop until the end. “I did so have to bring something for my future grandchild. Also…” A devlish look crossed her face, her gray eyes twinkling. “I found something while cleaning out the house.”

Whatever it was, Jon was wary, his matching gray eyes narrowing. “Oh?”

“Hmm. Be a dear and get me some tea.”

“You don’t need tea, what is it?”

“Jon, get your mother some tea,” Dany chastised. He huffed, storming out of the room, throwing a censuring look over his shoulder. She stuck her tongue out at him. Once he was out of earshot, she whipped around to Lyanna. “Oh gods, what is it? What did you find?”

Lyanna grinned, hand diving into the other bag. She removed a DVD case, smirking. “Had to get this transferred from the recorded copy but it is so worth it.”

One of the things that Dany had wanted desperately to see when she’d begun dating Jon and after learning that his mother had forced him into ballet shoes when he was little, were ballet photos of him. Except, to Lyanna’s enduring disappointment in her son, when he was a teenager, Jon had gone through the house and purged it of any photo of him in ballet clothes, lest his friends or Robb might locate them and humiliate him. Lyanna was still pissed off at him for it.

“Didn’t leave me with one photo!” she raged, when Dany had asked her about it at their first dinner together. Jon hadn’t cared and calmly continued eating, saying it was for the best.

Lyanna hurried to the TV and plugged in what she needed. A moment later, the screen flickered and Dany was greeted with the greatest thing she ahd ever seen in her entire life. Except maybe the sonogram of her child. This was an exceptionally close second.

The footage was homemade, from someone’s old-fashioned camcorder, and from the front row of what she recognized was the main auditorium at the ballet academy. The curtain pulled open, the audience applauded, and then a line of little girls in pale pink leotards, tights, and tutus walked onto the stage, eagerly waving at their parents. They couldn’t be more than five. And then….teh greatest thing ever….Dany yelped, covering her mouth with her hands, tears springing to the corners of her eyes.

In both adoration, love, and because she thought she might start laughing nonstop.

A little Jon Snow, dark curls tangled on his head, in a white shirt and gray leotard tights, bringing up the rear of the line. He looked down at the camera and to her amusement, he scowled. Then he reluctantly lifted up his little hand and waved, before focusing his attention on the instructor, who Dany couldn’t see. He snapped to attention immediately and began to follow the program, little feet moving as they ran across the stage, prancing and doing plies and jumping here and there.

“Oh my gods,” she breathed, a hand on her belly and the over stilly over her mouth, watching the tiny Jon on the stage. She kept repeating it, while Lyanna giggled nonstop beside her.

“He’s so adorable! Oh, I forgot how tiny his frown was. Such a grumpy little boy I had.”

”What the bloody seven hells are you watching?!”

Lyanna paused the video, turning to glare at her son. “Your dance recital when you were five. It’s all I have of my only child doing ballet. Give your mother this much, you burned all the other pictures.”

Jon was flushed so red, Dany worried he’d stopped breathing. He closed his eyes. “Where did you find that?”

“The studio actually. I’m sure there’s more I can locate soon enough.” She picked upt he other bag, handing it to Dany, beaming. “And here’s your other gift.”

Dany giggled, almost jumping in place, so full of love and giddiness. She grabbed something soft from inside the bag and tugged it out, bursting into tears. “Fucking hormones,” she complained, wiping her eyes and holding up the little cotton onesie. She sniffed. “Oh Lyanna! It’s so sweet!”

Lyanna wiped at her own tears, hugging her tightly. “Well you’re having a little dancer.”

“A tiny dancer,” Jon read from the onesie, as Dany held it up, placing it over her belly. He chuckled. “Thanks Mom.” He pointed to the television, his image mid-leap in gray tights, intense focus on his small features frozen on the screen. “But not for that.”

“Oh hush and give your mother a kiss. I need to get back to the school.”

Dany couldn’t stop, wiping at her tears and saying thank you to Lyanna, for so many things. The onesie, the video, for producing Jon, even. They managed to get her out of the house, even with the tea Jon had made for her and put into a travel mug, like he knew she wouldn’t be long. He probably was hoping she wouldn’t stay long. He hugged her, wiping at her eyes. “Don’t cry,” he chuckled. “It’s just a silly little gift.”

She shook her head. “No, it’s everything. I just love yo so much.”

He softened, touching his forehead to hers. “I love you too.”

A few days later, at the studio, Dany finished with her workout and went over to the stereo to turn off her music, when the door opened. She glanced over to tell whomever it was she was almost done, when she saw Jon slip in. “Jon!” she exclaimed. He held two cups of coffee in his hand. She grinned, flicking off the music and rushed to him, shoes clomping on the hardwood. “You brought me tea!”

“Herbal, no caffeine.”

She flicked down the coffee collar, his writing scribbled out. <i>Baby might need this more than you.</i> She patted her belly, kissing him. “Yes, baby did need it. Thank you.”

“I have something else.” He shifted, reaching into his pocket. He pulled out an envelope, passing it over to her. “My mom isn’t always right. Contrary to her belief.”

Dany took the envelope, curious. She set the tea on the top of the piano and flicked opent he envelope, pulling out a few old photos, the glossy images spilling forth into her hands. She stared, mouth falling open, at the treasures she now held. “You didn’t destroy them!”

They were of little Jon, just like the video from the recital, only in these ones he was in a studio, very small and holding his mother’s hand, while she wore her ballet leotard and skirt, his little chubby feet and legs in tights. Another holding onto the barre. She beamed, flicking through them. They were bloody adorable. She looked up, pressing them to her heart. He smiled, sheepish. “I guess I subconsciously held onto those because I was going to fall in love with a dancer.”

She giggled. “Maybe you did.” She looked down at them again, shaking her head, still smiling. “They’re perfect. Thank you.” The photos returned to the envelope, she put them carefully into her bag, and bounced back up. “Come on, dance with me.”

Jon smirked. “I don’t dance.”

“You’re having a baby with a dancer. Guess what Jon? You dance.” She giggled. “I’ll hsow you my baby pictures of me in a tutu. I think my mother ingrained me young, just like yours.”

“Funny how that works,” he laughed. He spun her around, tugging her up to his chest, and kissed her softly. “Love you.”

“Love you too.” She took her coffee and together they clinked the lids together, before he spun her back around, dancing lazily around the studio, both of them laughing goofily.

YOUR MATCH FOR THE EVENING IS...

OIKAWA TOORU

The golden lights strings fell everywhere neatly creating a golden hue down to the open venue. You were done dancing for the 3rd time already with everyone. The afternoon was transitioning to evening, the air had a drunk feeling on it. Tired of finally prancing around happily with other bridesmaids, you decided to sit down for a while. You grabbed a drink and went outside where there were more seats placed around the sandy area. You took off your heels and sank your feet into the warm sand. 

Feeling the breeze and the soft crashing of waves round the shore reached your ears, which you couldn’t hear prior due to the cacophony of the wedding.

 “What makes you come here rather than inside?”

You turned around to see the wavy chocolate brown hair with similar eyes looking down in your eyes. He had a side smirk plastered on his face which was kinda mischievous. Maybe its the vibe of the wedding, the intoxicated air or your own slightly reckless self, you thought of messing around a bit. Not to mention the man in front of you was exceptionally handsome.

“well, well, isn't this Oikawa Tooru, famous Argentinian player?” you said that with a smirk. His smirk seemed to grow bigger.

“So you do know me.”

“Don't make it sound like everyone doesn’t. Its a surprise seeing you alone without the prying fangirl eyes”

His eyes glinted at that. You returned his smirk and energy back. You aren't gonna lie, you yourself felt kind of surprised at your daring self.

“Mind if I join you, pretty?’‘ He joined in anyway besides you.

“woah, pretty, huh? Seems like you have to get in anyways so what can I say?” You jokingly shrugged. He faltered for a while.

“Hey, hey, if you are uncomfortable then I’ll take another seat, its fine.” he said a little worried.

“Really, Oikawa Tooru? Doesn’t sound like its you.” you replied. He felt relieved at your answer. He shifted a bit closer.

“So what are you doing here at your rivals wedding?” you carried on with your conversation.

He laughed a bit.

“He’s my rival, not enemy though.” You laugh back. Your phone buzzed as messages from your friends popped up, asking where you at. You replied them saying you’ll be back in a bit. He was watching you as you were working through your phone. The light pink dress seemed radiant on you. 

“Stop staring tooru” you said laughing. He felt this was safe as your tone wasn’t snappy or restrictive and you said ‘Tooru’. He could just jump there out of ecstasy.

“Can’t. You look too pretty.” he replies back.

“Well, you don't look bad yourself, Tooru’. Again. His insides were already doing the conga. He had seen you for a long time since he arrived at the wedding, midday. He had been talking to his old mates, Hanamaki, Matsukawa, Iwaizumi, when his eyes caught you. You were snacking on a pasty with other bridesmaids and laughing. He could swore he felt fluttering in his stomach. Hanamaki caught his eyes and laughed. Iwa noticed that and said, 

“Well, you could go and give a shot talking to her. But I feel she’s a bit closed and you have a high shot messing that up”. 

You snapped your fingers in front of him, making him lose his train of thoughts. He smiled back and you guys continued conversation. For two people, meeting each other for the first time, you guys got off pretty well. Every now and then it was banter exchanged between you two.

Eventually you guys went inside to the usual chaos of wedding. Oikawa talked to many of his acquaintances, but you guys stuck with each other, often getting Oikawa out of sticky situation. The evening regressed to a memorable night where songs after songs were played by. The familiar tone of Whitney Houston hits your ear and you sway to the music. 

Oikawa notices that, and slowly with a big leap of confidence, holds your hand. This was too cute to resist. You turn your head towards him and lock your hand in his. He most probably let out the biggest grin.

He crouches down to your height and whispers,

“I kinda wanna tap my feet onto this song there, mind if you join?” 

“Sure thing” you said as you both laugh and join the dance floor.

“soo, you busy the day after?’ he asks tentatively.

“technically no.” you said.

“So, I’ll take you on somewhere, pretty.”

“Its a first date then”

“I thought this was a first date, pretty”

You couldn't help but laugh at this cuteness.

HEADCANNONS FOR YOU TWO:

All the while, he stayed in Japan, you guys had tonnes of dates. He proposed to you on the 9th date.

You guys facetime each other to sleep. And when you visited him in Argentina, manz scooped you up from the ground

He loves booping your nose whenever you guys have a playful argument. And say something romantic in Spanish.

What about girls? The same as guys. I do think women should keep their bras on though mostly for their own protection because people are pigs. Do you have multiple playlists on YouTube? Yes. What is a goal that you have trouble accomplishing? Losing weight, apparently... What color is your Easter basket? I don't have one anymore. My childhood one was a light tan basket with a baby pink frill around it. What do you need to get from the store right now? Mom just got groceries the other day. What is something that you used to feel ashamed of, but now you don’t? I can't think of anything. EVERYTHING embarrasses me, so. What is your favorite part of growing older? Uhhhhhh. Are you hypersensitive? If so, in what ways are you hypersensitive? Yes, to textures in food. What’s a drug that’s made you gain weight? Paxil was the first, but I worked it all off and got in the best shape of my life.

If not, would you ever consider it? No to both.

[seeminglyseph]

god how are there so many things. I got distracted because my computer is being a laggy pile of dicks, but knowing it’s because it’s a shit computer is a little comforting, lol  I thought I was just exceptionally hard on computers. ‘12 tabs open in firefox AND spotify? you absolute madlad’ you know? So a decent computer is on the list sometime. I need to restart everything before I start drawing or like my computer goes ‘high resolution with four layers? I think it’s about time for the program to go non-responsive for 30 seconds and scare the shit out of you.’

budget rambling under cut, and then bitching about friend breakup

- Galaxy S6 LITE will cover my need for a portable drawing space so that’s plan one

- New desktop makes for maybe an easier work process. This one’s nebulous in the timeline, depends on when my office gets moved because then I’ll need a desk first.

- I want a long corner desk that like takes up a wall and a half so I can have other projects on the side without it creeping into my drawing space like I do right now. One I’ve been eyeballing at staples is about $400, which I hope I can save up for. Futon to have people over in the office but if it’s still covid for like another year or some bullshit it would be pointless to spend my money making guest spaces.

- I think I want a couple shelves to keep my trinkets and stuff on too ‘cause I got a lot of dumb figures and stuff just to put on my shelf and think ‘I almost have the whole batfamily, just need Jason and Duke.’ though I got a bootleg tim and he’s way way too tall so maybe one day they’ll put out a nice tim figure that’s not like $50.

- couches for the basement ‘cause we’re getting rid of the ones we have. My mom thinks we don’t need to replace them if we have a couple chairs but it’s on the same level of importance as the futon, like why make a guest space when I cannot have guests?

- definitely thinking of upgrading to csp EX if only because it turns out animating is kind of fun and csp PRO has limited frames. I really like csp as a program so I’d like to stick with it. Getting EX on the tablet though might be easier because it’s a monthly subscription rather than a lump sum. Which I know is worse in the long term but sometimes it’s just what’s manageable? I don’t want to go back to adobe, though I can install cs5 if I have to. bought that disk 10 years ago and I’m gonna transfer it through computers until it burns out. but this desktop is shit and would die anyway.

the main thing I gotta get a control on is impulse spending. I can talk til I’m blue in the face about what things I need to spend less money on, but the fact is I have to master that ADHD impulse thing. I think my mom has gotten past her opinion that she needs to take financial control away from me because I’m a financial danger to myself or whatever, it will definitely help if the state of crisis would actually be allowed to dissipate. I’ve been on edge since october 2019 and I just need to figure out some stability. also loved ones need to stop dying and maybe life can start feeling normal. it’s very weaselly of me to blame my spending on high stress, but medication dug me into a hole last year and stress made it worse... I’m not vomiting anymore (knock on wood)

my sister who earns almost $40/hr was talking to my mom like ‘you don’t need to worry about us, you keep all that money for yourself’ and I, on disability living below the poverty line, wanted to scream. I had to talk to my mom about how she and my sister are getting hardcore financial support from their friends and family I am not. And they’re both starting head and shoulders above me, so maybe when the family sends money for the family can I have some. And now I feel like a total heel because my sister so nobly declined. it was absurd enough on christmas when my parents and sister were talking about all the friends that were either mad they couldn’t snowbird, or who went snowbirding despite covid. 90% of my friends make minimum wage, and maybe don’t even know me that well. I thought I was best friends with someone and they turned out to hate me so I have no idea how much anyone cares about me now, you know? But I guess some people can hang out almost every weekend for years and share secrets and stories and memories and vacations and not actually care about the people around them. So who knows. I don’t want to... let that make me care less. Everyone is carrying something and I want to be as kind as I can. But I think I will not be kind to that person unless something monumental happens. there are moments where her actions leave me so scared I want to die, that no one, not even the people I thought were ‘my people’ will love me. I rationalize “I should have realised she stopped responding to me weeks ago, I should have noticed she didn’t want my life updates. I should have noticed that in the time it went from ‘I don’t want to move if my dad’s still in the hospital’ to ‘we’re pretty sure it’s gonna be okay.’ to ‘I don’t know what’s going on and I’m very scared’ to ‘If my dad dies I don’t know if I can move’ to ‘maybe I’m just overreacting it just was really bad for a bit there’ she didn’t say a word of comfort or a question. She didn’t respond to my questions about the house and was resistant to giving me information about the rooms I was going to live in.” but she’s 32. We’re both 32. this isn’t two 14 year-olds who don’t know how to act like people with undeveloped brains and no skills yet in emotional development. A 32 year-old woman who can’t so much as follow up with any of those statements from a close friend is the one in the wrong. If there was a concern there was plenty of time to state it, and when she did finally state it there was no need for it to be ‘if I may be candid no one here wants to put up with your emotional behaviour’

It’s not normal or healthy behaviour to treat people like she treated me. And yeah she’s got her own problems and maybe she’s just emotionally stunted and too much of a coward to actually face consequences, but that doesn’t make what she did okay. She never apologised, rather than try to make things better she multiple times made it worse and then she left me stranded. I’m not a freak here. I’m not a monster. She’s probably unhealthy, but she was in the wrong. there’s no universe where helping your parents move is more difficult to handle than watching your father die of ALS. Even if she outed me as an accident, she did nothing to fix it, nothing to warn me, and nothing in apology afterwards. everyone makes mistakes but if you just let them fester then they stop being accidents and start being willful negligence (speaking of if you’re going to road rage in your school bus you should actually do your safety checks, even if it’s “too cold” I mean you are transporting children and you have been in more accidents in the time I’ve known you than anyone else I have ever known. But I mean it’s not your fault work is so strict with you that you were on your final warning for reckless behaviour. I mean everyone’s struggling, that’s why it’s you especially who keeps ending up in the ditch needing a tow and brag about your aggressive driving habits.)

Could I get a fluff alphabet for Cana from Fairy Tail, please?

Sorry for the wait! I’ve been bouncing between a lot of projects lately, hehe. Here’s your fluff alphabet, at long last!

Fluff Alphabet- Cana Alberona

A-   Activities: How do they spend their time with their s/o?

It’s no secret that Cana’s chief hobby is drinking. One of her favorite activities is to go bar-hopping or partying with her s/o to consume as much alcohol she can without dying. That being said, Cana’s not sloshed twenty-four-seven and knows that it’s important to do regular things with her s/o, too. Game nights with their buddies are her particular favorite, because it allows her the chance to showcase her competitive side. Never challenge Cana in strip poker, because it’s a guaranteed loss. When Cana desires private time with her partner, however, she likes to go for a walk around town and just window shop. It doesn’t always have to lead to purchasing things; she just likes the relaxing atmosphere and just perusing whatever’s new.

B-    Body: What does this character appreciate about their s/o? What part of their body are they most proud of, and in reverse, what body part are they ashamed of and how do they respond to their s/o gushing over it?

Cana adores her partner’s hair. She just likes to idly run her hands through it, play with it, weave little braids into the locks if they allow her to. Her favorite thing in the world is to have her partner lay their head on her lap so she can just go to town. As a result, she gives the best head-rubs ever.

Cana knows she has a bombshell body and really appreciates if her partner compliments her curves, whether with words or with touches! Girl just loves to have her partner’s hands on her body, LOL. However, Cana sometimes worries that her curves are her only defining feature. In particular, she doubts that her eyes or hair are really something to write home about, being just your generic brown. She’ll get a little bashful and flustered if her s/o makes a point to sing their praises. She’s mostly confident, so it won’t take long to boost her ego in this regard!

C-    Cuddles: Is this character a cuddler? What is their favorite way to cuddle?

Cana is very cuddly with her s/o. Her favorite way to cuddle is to just plunk herself in her s/o’s lap, LOL. They could be in the middle of a conversation and she’ll stroll right up and take a seat for some snuggling! She thinks it’s funny if her s/o gets flustered, and even funnier if they don’t miss a beat and keep right on with what they were doing. She loves cuddling period, though, so position really isn’t that big of a deal for her.

D-   Dreams: How do they picture their future with their s/o?

Cana may be a bit tomboyish, but she still dreams of wearing that white gown someday! She’d love to marry her partner with Gildarts to walk her down the aisle. Cana has no intention of leaving the guild, so she would continue on as a mage and would hope her partner would as well! Still, if she ever had to retire, she fantasizes about opening up a tavern.

E-    Equivalence: Is this character the dominant force in the relationship, are they passive, or is the relationship more or less even?

Cana is stubborn and hard-headed, so she is a bit of a dominant force. It really depends on her meek her partner is, though; if they are on the same wavelength, their relationship will be mostly even, but if they’re a bit shyer, Cana will definitely be wearing the pants in the relationship! Cana doesn’t do well with someone who is completely domineering; the woman values her freedom and right to speak her mind, so she isn’t going to tolerate someone too controlling!

F-    Fights: How does this character respond to arguments with their s/o? What would they fight about, and who would cave and apologize first?

Cana is not afraid to get into screaming matches with her partner, regardless of who is around. She’d never hit or slap her partner (unless they just said something so out of line it wasn’t even funny), but she may throw a chair at a wall. Cana can’t rationalize when she’s angry and will run an argument into the ground, so it would be best for her partner to leave for a while so she can simmer down. She’s stubborn and won’t make the move to apologize first, but when her partner comes to talk to her once she’s calm, she may begrudgingly apologize and compromise depending on the issue. Mostly, the fights would either concern Cana’s insatiable drinking habits or her recklessness in missions. She’s a bit self-destructive but won’t appreciate at first that her partner is trying to look out for her best interest. It will take some coaxing.

G-   Gratitude: How does this character show their s/o that they are grateful?

Kisses. Anytime Cana is grateful, she’s gonna kiss on her partner. Even if the feeling strikes her like a bolt from the blue, she’s going to saunter up to her none-the-wiser partner and plant one on them with no warning. It’s just her way of being appreciative.

H-   Honeymoon: If this character had a honeymoon with their s/o, where would they go?

Wine-tasting in a vineyard. What can I say, the girl loves her alcohol. She knows that she can’t get sloshed for her honeymoon, though, and will arrange for plenty of other romantic activities too- candlelit dinners, couple’s massages, horseback-riding through pastures. It would actually be a really fun trip!

I-      Insecurity: What is this character insecure about? How do they deal with their insecurities with their s/o?

Cana is still very insecure about her relationship with Gildarts. She just isn’t sure how to deal with his zeal to be a father after so many years of not having him around, even if he just didn’t know. Sometimes she has trouble processing those emotions and goes to her s/o for comfort and advice. She is very grateful that her s/o is open and honest with their opinion, and slowly but surely, she learns to deal with the conflict.

J-      Jealousy: Is this character the jealous type? How do they deal with being jealous?

Cana doesn’t get jealous. She knows she’s a catch and if her s/o is stupid enough to run around on her, then she’s just going to wipe the floor with them and toss them in the garbage where they belong. Cana wants to trust her partner and doesn’t police their friends or hangouts, and if they betray that trust, well- welcome to the shit list.

K-   Kiss: What does the character want their first kiss to be like with their s/o? How does it end up happening?

Cana doesn’t hyper-fixate too much on how this or that will go; she’ll let it develop organically, and whatever happens, happens. Most likely, Cana will be cruising a nice lovely buzz and decide that it’s high time she and her s/o kissed and will plant one on them without warning. Who needs romance? Just get it done!

L-    Love Confession: How does this character first profess their love to their s/o?

The first kiss might be a little spontaneous, but Cana at least has the sense to know that she shouldn’t be plastered professing her love for someone. When she really soul-searches and realizes that she is indeed in love with someone, she’s going to strive to find the opportune moment to lay all her cards on the table. She’ll plan a more romantic and sophisticated dinner at a fancy restaurant, ingest only a socially acceptable amount of wine, then reach out to take her partner’s hands and tell them just how she feels. She’s not shy about her feelings at all.

M-  Marriage: How does this character view marriage? What is their ideal wedding like?

Cana would love to get married! She’s like to have a barnyard wedding with a raucous reception afterwards. Out in the country with only her guildmates in attendance, in the fresh open air with the faint scent of fresh apples lingering on the breeze and everything dyed gold by the setting sun- what could be more romantic? Lucy actually turned her on to the idea, because at first she was totally intent on skipping the wedding bit and getting eloped. Dressing up in white and being walked down the aisle by Gildarts didn’t seem so bad after Lucy broke out all the wedding magazines…

N-   Nicknames: What does this character like to call their s/o?

Cana lives for the embarrassment of sappy nicknames. “Sugar Bear,” “Honeybun,” “Babycakes,” “Lovemuffin”- if it’s mortifying, she’s gonna say it. When she’s serious, though, she usually defers to “darling” or “honey.” But she isn’t serious very often. XD

O-   On Cloud Nine: What is this character like when they’re in love? Is it obvious to others, or are they good at hiding it?

As I mentioned, Cana is not shy about her feelings. The incubation period is exceptionally short, because if someone catches her eye, all she’ll need is a little liquid courage before she’s strutting over and flirting up a storm. When she’s in love in an actual relationship, she’s actually super adorable; she’ll just gaze lovingly at her s/o, hanging on to their every word even if it’s the most mundane conversation. She loves to be with her s/o and will accompany them very frequently.

P-    PDA: Does this character like PDA? If so, what kinds of things do they do in public to show off their s/o?

Cana is all about PDA! Holding hands, smooches, maybe even playful slaps to the behind- this girl ain’t shy by any definition of the word. She’s head-over-heels in love and doesn’t care who knows, and she’s going to act on whatever whim blooms in that pretty head of hers!

Q-   Quirks: What random traits or quirks does this character have that positively affect the relationship?

Cana’s a great dancer, and loves to do it, too. She dances while cooking, while showering, while walking- whatever! It’s just such a happy and bubbly sight to see it won’t fail to make her partner smile. They better watch out, though, because she’ll sweep them up in a tango or waltz with no hesitation!

R-    Romance: Is this character a hopeless romantic, or a bit on the low-key side? Are they cliché when it comes to romantic gestures, or can they get a little bit creative?

Cana traverses the middle-ground; she loves romantic gestures but isn’t an absolute sap for them. She is a mixture of cliché and creative gestures. After all, why try and fix what’s broken? That being said, sometimes she gets inspired to do something a little fun and new and will surprise her s/o with an interesting romantic scheme!

S-    Secrets: Are there any secrets they hide from their s/o? If so, how do they deal with it when those secrets finally come out?

Cana doesn’t have any secrets. She doesn’t believe in keeping secrets from the person she loves, and honestly doesn’t have any major secrets in her life she feels like her s/o would leave her over.

T-    Thrill: Does this character prefer routine in their relationship, or do they like to shake things up every once in a while?

If Cana is anything, it’s a thrill-seeker! Routine bores her; she prefers much more to live in the moment. Whenever a whim catches her fancy, she’s going to act on it! That means spontaneous dates or her jumping on her s/o to shower them in affections, but at least it keeps things interesting…

U-   Understanding: Is this character level-headed and empathetic toward their partner, or do they sometimes have trouble figuring them out, which leads to some butting heads?

Cana’s emotional intelligence is pretty above average, but in the beginning stages of the relationship, sometimes there are aspects of her partner she can’t understand. Cana gets frustrated over this, which can lead to some spatting. She tries to make an effort to understand her partner, though, and never lets the argument escalate to excessive levels. She is content to agree to disagree and simmer for a while.

V-   Value: How does this character value their relationship with their s/o? How does it hold in comparison to their goals, ambitions, etc.?

Cana holds her relationship in extremely high regard. Her goal is only really to be a good friend and supporting mage for Fairy Tail, so after a point, they end up on relatively equal terms.

W-  Wild Card: Any random fluff headcanon that does not fall within the other categories!

Cana gives massages that are to die for. Seriously, her hands work magic. If her s/o complains of any achy muscles, she’s immediately propping them up and getting to work on those sore spots. She’s actually got a pretty lucrative under-the-table massage business with most of the guild members as customers. If she wasn’t a mage, she’d make a killing as a masseuse!

X-   XOXO: How does this character show affection?

Cana shows her love almost exclusively through physical affection. Any sweet nothings or compliments are always accompanied by gentle caresses or hugs. She feels like touch just conveys the pure, raw emotion she’s experiencing the best.

Y-   Yearning: How does this character deal with time apart with their s/o?

Cana can deal well with separation to a degree. She knows that time apart is good for the relationship, and trusts her s/o. However, if it drags on for too long, Cana will get depressed. She’ll take to the bottle even more, and eventually, the guild will have to stage an intervention. Her girl friends will help her cope better with her partner’s absence.

Z-    Zeal: Is this character willing to great lengths for their relationship? If so, how far, and how long does it take to get to this point?

As I mentioned, Cana is very serious about her relationship. She is willing to sacrifice her life for her partner, but it does take her some time to work up to this point. She has to be deeply in love, so deeply in love that she cannot imagine life without her partner.

Gilmore Girls (Credit: Warner Brothers).

Call me late to the game, but I have joined the world of Stars Hollow and fallen in love with the girls we know as the Gilmore Girls, twenty years after it first debuted, and I’m not even mad about it.

Mind you, I had no intention of binging or even finishing the entire show, but as I casually watched one episode on Netflix and found how easily-digestible it was, one episode turned into three, and then it turned into every other day, and then it became a nightly ritual and, well, you know how it goes.

So grew my uncanny obsession with mother-daughter Lorelai and Rory Gilmore’s witty banter, exceptionally close relationship and charming small town, that I became so invested in their world and was able to finish the show in the two months I have returned and been quarantined in my own little small town. (A surprise for me, as someone who hardly ever watches or keeps up with a show, let alone ever binged a show. Seven seasons? Where do I even start, I thought?!)

Twenty years ago, I was just a seven-year-old girl listening to Hilary Duff and the Backstreet Boys while watching teeny-bopper shows and everything on the Disney Channel. I never really got into soapy teen dramas until (obviously) later in my life when I became a proper teenager.

My first reaction to watching Gilmore Girls? Wow. This Rory girl seems a lot like me.

Rory, the shy and introverted goody two-shoes and bookworm who loves school and always hangs out with her single mother and lives and grows up in a small town where everyone knows each other and loves her; and me, a girl who grew up in a town called Pleasant Hill. And if those Chilton uniforms didn’t remind me more of my own private school uniform? Ha, well I don’t really know what to say.

But really, the resemblances are uncanny and watching the show made me think: What would have happened if I had watched this as a girl growing up? Would I have handled situations with boys differently or treasured my girl time and female friendships a whole lot more, if I had seen Rory and Lorelai grow up, interact, and handle regular growing pains alongside me, as well?

As a first-time viewer, the writing and pacing of the show immediately stuck out. It’s incredibly quick and entertaining, witty through and through. I appreciate all of Lorelai’s references to eighties pop culture and Rory finding refuge in classic literature and the strong female characters and feminists I had so long been inspired by, too.

Moreover, it was incredibly comforting to find another person I could see myself reflected in, onscreen, growing up and making mistakes and always trying to do the right thing, but still staying true to who she was all along.

Her experience was so similar to how my adolescence had felt and been: my mom, who had given me all I ever needed to grow up, and me, just wanting to do right by her, was always responsible and loved at school, receiving attention from boys but never really ever cared for it because I was just happy reading a book or playing my guitar, ha.

And if that scene between Dean and Jess getting into a fight over Rory at a party couldn’t feel even more familiar to my high school days — when I was caught in a love triangle with boys who confessed their feelings to me on the same night, pressured me to make a decision, only for me to see their friendships fall apart right in front of me at school. Wow, that was high school in a nutshell, ha! And it was funny to see moments like that played back onscreen, happening to Rory as she had wished for none of it to happen, yet couldn’t really do anything about these boys’ feelings for her at the same time. (I feel you girl.)

The fact Rory wants to travel and pursue journalism as well couldn’t hit it home for me any more. Her university days reminded me of my own writing articles and chasing stories for my school newspaper. And when her and Paris wanted to experience “all the college experiences,” embarking on a cliche spring break trip trying to do “spring break right,” I couldn’t help but giggle as I found myself in college as well, very well knowing I am not the party type, but decided to get “all the college experience” as well, embarking on a Vegas trip with friends which, I do have to say, was a hell of a time.

There are so many moments from the show that have stuck with me, but here are a few memorable thoughts and moments I’ve had:

When Rory said, “I cannot do this alone. I need my mommy and damn it, I don’t care who knows it!” (s3 e13) I think she was speaking for all of us.

“I don’t want to be that kind of girl. That kind of girl who just falls apart because she doesn’t have a boyfriend.” (s1 e17) Yup. Yup, yup Rory. That was me.

Lane and the Kims and their lifelong friendship was just charming, and I couldn’t help but feel for the Asian best friend and strict mom who means well.

Rory and Paris and their ongoing escapades. Man, you can’t help but love them. Their spring break trip was all too relatable: Rory drinking and drunk-calling Dean for the first time and them doing spring break even if they never want to do it again because they realize they just aren’t the partying type. “It’s a college memory. I intend on having as many college memories as possible.” (s4 e17) Yeah, all too relatable. Ha.

Also Paris being that one friend we all know who is a little too much, too bossy, too aggressive, can turn people off but is also one of our very best friends? It was also incredible to see how their “hatred” (and Paris seeming to pop up everywhere Rory was, lol) turned into a real friendship over the years. I loved seeing that.

Rory’s graduation speech: “My mother never gave me any idea that I couldn’t do whatever I wanted to do or be whomever I wanted to be. She filled our house with love and fun and books and music, unflagging in her efforts to give me role models from Jane Austen to Eudora Welty to Patti Smith. As she guided me through these incredible eighteen years, I don’t know if she ever realized that the person I most wanted to be was her.” (s3 e22) That was a moment that made me just cry and tear up, for being a grateful kid myself, but also feeling just how mushy Lorelai must have been feeling as a mother, raising a good kid, all on her own. Ugh. 😭

Oh, Dean and Jess. They represent the boys we all meet and fall in love with when we’re young: Dean, the dependable boyfriend who is ready to give you everything, support you, be there for you, and may always love you even when you might take him for granted; and Jess, the said “bad boy” and mysterious romantic who leaves you hanging onto every single word that makes you fall head over heels for him, even if you know it might be bad for you.

When Rory has sex for the first time (s4 e22): It was such a big, telling, and coming-of-age moment. And you could feel that. I could feel and know exactly how she was feeling: how excited she was, how dumb it was, how one’s feelings get the best of you even when you normally think every action through and make reasons to justify it. God. I was also afraid to see how the show would handle the situation, especially Lorelai. I’m glad she was never quite overbearing to Rory and trusts her and lets her grow as her own individual, but I’m glad she put her foot down and told her how it was not okay for her to sleep with Dean, who was still a married man. #greatmothermoment

When Rory drops out of Yale and takes some time for herself:

I couldn’t have felt more seen. Going back home, bored at home all over again, finding things to preoccupy myself with until I got bored of it and wanted to move on to the next thing, because I genuinely wanted to… that feels very familiar. And it was heartwarming to see her have this moment and want it for herself. I know it may have been a controversial choice for many, but Rory’s quitting school let her evaluate her own choices, have the space and time to figure herself out — who she was beyond what everyone expects her to be — only to realize that she really does want to be a journalist. Her whole life had been predetermined by her surroundings, and we see just how hard of a worker she is, that to have this “slip-up” is actually the best thing she can do for herself — she realizes she can be and is responsible for her own actions. To experience that in college, rather than many years later down the road, is admirable.

And moreover, I appreciate how Lorelai handled the situation. She never forced Rory to do anything or made her feel bad about her decision. Rather, she let Rory have the space and time to want to go back to Yale and school to be a journalist. She realizes that no one can make that decision for her, but her. And I loved that. Another #greatmothermoment.

Even more so, when Jess surprisingly came back and tells her he’s written a book and reminds her that “this isn’t you,” (s6 e8) that moment almost broke my heart. It reminded me of a time I felt so lost myself and a boy who once knew me would be tough on me, because he cared for me and knew who I was and always have been, and wanted me to do “better” because I was better… I think we’ve all had those people who know us very well who tell us hard truths about ourselves. And we don’t really want to listen, but a part of us knows that maybe they’re actually right. 💔

I actually really liked Logan and Rory’s relationship and the sense of trust and maturity they had built since that infamous “You Jump, I Jack” life-and-death brigade episode (s5 e7). Beyond that, Rory and Logan were completely smitten with each other the whole time. They came from worlds that were incredibly similar, yet wanted to be different. I appreciate how Logan knew and acknowledged his privilege and mistakes. I appreciate how Rory made herself clear that she is a “relationship kind of girl” instead of an “every girl” and gets a boy like Logan to stop his ways. (If I had to be honest, I was never that kind of girl, either.) When they said they’d “factor each other in,” they showed ultimate support for each other. And it’s clear that they were each other’s biggest fans. (When Logan took Rory, Lorelai and Luke out for a Valentine’s Day weekend getaway? Wow.) It’s clear they have a lot of chemistry and fun together. And Logan’s smile to Rory. Ugh.

On Lorelai:

I thought Lolelai and Jason were actually kind of cute. A part of me wanted it to work out, but I knew it never would.

Oh man, I had a fat crush on Max Medina too.

I loved seeing Chris and Lorelai stick by each other throughout all those years, and actually try to make it work. He’s a good guy who means well, and it’s clear how comfortable they are with each other, but timing was never on their side.

The letter Lorelai wrote to Luke’s defense to have custody over his daughter legit brought me to tears. Luke really was there for Lorelai and saw Rory grow up. You can’t ever take that back. Ever. Ugh.

What happened between Lorelai and Chris was bound to happen, and I was actually so happy for Lorelai to be with him. I’m incredibly impressed at how the show was able to show such a raw, real and complicated feeling of never really being “in love,” so well.

Emily and Richard: what a hoot of grandparents. I loved all their comic banter. All those Friday night dinners and the show they always put on. Richard’s relationship with Rory was so warm and comforting, and Emily’s incessant complaining and nitpicking was great. But when Emily actually had a moment towards the end explaining to Lorelai how Lorelai was able to be a single mother, independent and all on her own, while she herself has always been a wife, not knowing how to be independent, couldn’t be a more self-aware moment.

After all of this, it’s incredibly refreshing to see a show like Gilmore Girls let its characters be who they are: wholeheartedly immature and charming, unabashedly flawed yet real. And while these characters could be problematic — Lorelai is at times immature and inappropriate, yet means well; her relationship with Rory may be too codependent that Rory ends up dropping everything to tend to her mom; Rory is part of an elite society that comes from wealth and privilege; Emily constantly hates on the help; etc.

As much as the above is true, it’s still inspiring to see how Lorelai and Rory take on — and maybe even take down — their given worlds. They bicker and laugh, whine and moan, lust, laze around and criticize, but they are also incredibly real. Just as we humans can often be short-sighted in our lives, Rory and Lorelai are too. Too often we are given female characters who are either a saint or a sinner, a wife or a girlfriend, a prude or a prostitute, that with Rory and Lorelai, we get both. I think we all are at times a little annoying, yet incredibly fascinating the next. And that’s probably what has made the Gilmore Girls so beloved and such a cult-classic since its debut in 2000: Its heroines are flawed, yet deeply human, just like us all.

[fingersinhisass]

bc carly @aldmerii humored me and answered all 60 questions of the oc question thing for shaelle, i’m gonna do it for al as well even tho literally no one asked so. here goes!

1. WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S BIGGEST FEAR?

having his friends, people he’s grown to trust and care for, discover all the bad shit he did in the past and basically breaking all ties with him. he’s terrified they’ll think he’s a monster bc well. he thinks he’s a monster sometimes too

2. WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S FAVORITE MEMORY?

it’s not one specific memory exactly, more like. a mix of lots of memories. in the summer he used to play outside all day with the other kids who lived in his neighborhood (very poor, pretty decrepit houses, mostly dust and dying grass) and like. those were some of the best times for him? because he was still too young to care that their family didn’t have enough money to send him to school, or that all of his clothes were hand-me-downs with at least one tear that had been fixed, or that his mother’s face was worn with wrinkles that would better suit someone much older than she was. so he’d play pretend with these kids in his neighborhood, and go on “adventures” and kick around pebbles and wrestle in the dirt, and then he’d come back home to his mother calling him, and she’d wash his face and feet and hands gently and tuck him into bed and he’d fall asleep under the heat to the sound of her soft voice and the insects buzzing in the grass.

3. WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S LEAST FAVORITE MEMORY?

he’s got plenty to pick from, so i don’t think there’s one specific worst. but the gazes of people he willfully hurt, potentially even killed, really haunt him. he tries not to think about the stuff he did when he was younger.

4. DOES ANYONE HAVE A CRUSH ON YOUR CHARACTER? IS YOUR CHARACTER AWARE OF THIS?

my beautiful girl shaelle do,,,, and also this one demon dude they helped once. can’t remember his name bc he’s a pretty irrelevant npc. he was aware of that crush, but he has no fucking clue shaelle likes him

5: DESCRIBE YOUR CHARACTER’S DREAM DATE.

oh man. anything romantic that would make his date happy. it’s cliche, but he’s fond of long walks and candlelit dinners. he’s an exceptionally hopeless romantic.

6: WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S SEXUAL ORIENTATION?

lol what’s that????? al likes a lot of people he’s not picky. he’s actually kinda lowkey a ho. 

7: HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER FEEL ABOUT THEIR NAME?

my boi gots lotsa names. his birth name makes him nostalgic, but he doesn’t really attach it to himself anymore -- the only person who can call him that is his mother. the name he used when he was a thief he absolutely despises. he still twitches if he hears it spoken, regardless of if it’s pointed towards him or not. he picked the name he has now himself, so he likes it quite a bit thank you very much. it makes him feel like a distinguished human gentleman. he’s a fucking doof.

8: DOES YOUR CHARACTER HATE ANYONE? WHY?

al is not someone who hates easily. he trusts easily (too stupid to learn from his past mistakes, he’d remark bitterly, but really it’s because he’s an idealist by nature and wants to believe people are inherently good). he doesn’t respond well to betrayal. at all. he accidentally punched a dude to death once for betraying the group. to be fair, the dude was really fucking old, and he only had one hit point left and failed all his death saves so like. not really al’s fault. you woulda done it too if you were in the same situation

9: HOW DOES YOUR CHARACTER FEEL ABOUT RELIGION?

neither of his parents are very religious, and he wasn’t raised religious either, so it doesn’t really matter to him all that much

10. WOULD YOUR CHARACTER EVER KILL SOMEONE?

yes, but only if he felt it was justified and there were no better options. he is strongly against killing people who he feels don’t deserve it, but there are some people he would kill without hesitation solely because he believes their death will benefit many others. he’s got. complicated morals.

11: HOW DID YOUR CHARACTER MEET THEIR BEST FRIEND?

he met borem when they were assigned to be partners. they’re both detectives. although not sure how long that friendship is gonna last now...............

12: HOW WOULD/DOES YOUR CHARACTER FEEL ABOUT ROLLER COASTERS?

terrified. hates heights. don’t make him do this.

13: WHAT WOULD YOUR CHARACTER DIE FOR?

people he loves. easy.

14: WHAT IS THE CUTEST THING YOUR CHARACTER HAS EVER DONE?

when is my boy not cute, honestly???? idk, i can’t pin down a specific instance. but he’s like. super blushy and awkward around people he’s romantically attracted to, and that’s incredibly adorable. he took shaelle to the prison where her brother was being held so they could see each other again after ten years, and that was also very sweet

15: WHAT MUSIC GENRE WOULD YOUR CHARACTER LISTEN TO?

fuck, idk. he strikes me as the kind of person to just listen to whatever’s on. he doesn’t have a very developed taste in music

16: WHAT OTHER FICTIONAL CHARACTERS REMIND YOU OF YOUR CHARACTER?

jeez. probably gumshoe from ace attorney? mostly because they’re both good good detective boys just trying to do their best and i love both of them desperately.

17: DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE ANY IRRATIONAL FEARS?

heights!!! he hates heights!!!!! which is funny bc his acrobatics score is insane.

it would make him supremely uncomfortable. he may be very social, but when it comes to his home life he’s intensely private.

19: WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER’S DEEPEST, DARKEST SECRET?

he gots lotsa those. he’s stolen very important things that resulted in the detriment of others, he’s tortured and killed people, he’s aided in drug trafficking and human trafficking -- with children. which is when he quit, because he couldn’t stand that. he hates watching children suffer.

20: WHAT IS THE MOST SURPRISING THING ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER?

he’s actually a really good detective. not because he’s smart, though -- he’s desperately determined to better society, and he’s also just very, very lucky.

oh my god, yeah. listen, my baby got 18 dex, +7 to acrobatics. he is EXTREMELY flexible. wink wink

23: IS YOUR CHARACTER MORALLY GRAY OR BLACK OR WHITE?

hmm. he generally does things with good in mind, and usually he does it in a way that’s not so bad. but sometimes he twists the rules a little bit in a way that’s. ehh?? he’s not entirely against using violence to better things.

24: WHAT PREJUDICES DOES YOUR CHARACTER HAVE?

he’s generally not a fan of rich people or the ruling class. ofc he’s got a huge crush on shaelle, but like. she’s the exception

no bc he’s devastatingly handsome and i’d be terrified.

26: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE HEADCANON FOR YOUR CHARACTER?

he’s loud, goofy, occasionally pretty snarky, expresses emotions like happiness, excitement, and anger very easily, but feels weak showing sadness and tries to suppress it. fails. head over heels for shaelle.

so many of my characters are pretty boys. so many. also he’s a lovable idiot

i made him myself n he’s got a big ol’ heart.

he’s doin’ it. basically he just wants to help people however he can and make up for all the bad things he did for so long

43: WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER INSECURE ABOUT?

his social class. especially around shaelle. he definitely thinks he is absolutely not worth her time, and the subject of poverty or the social hierarchy in serin ilyan really touches a nerve for him. he also just really, really wants people to like him. 

44: WHAT IS YOUR CHARACTER PROUD OF?

all the good work he’s done as a detective. he’s (surprisingly) solved a lot of cases, and he feels a sense of accomplishment and justice for doing it. like maybe he can start to sleep a little easier knowing he hasn’t just hurt people all his life.

45: WHAT WOULD YOUR CHARACTER CHANGE ABOUT THEMSELVES?

his past. he’d go back and do something different, try to actually work hard and make honest money instead of getting involved in what he did

hell no. i love him to bits and i’d love to be a really handsome elf man, but like. my boy has way too much guilt that i wouldn’t want to live with.

he’s not super strong but he is crazy flexible. probably not a ton of stamina and although he looks like he’s got the body for it he’s not that great at running. he’s just really fucking good at climbing and doing flips and shit. he’s always one of the last people out during dodgeball just bc he’s so good at dodging. he can move FAST.

53: WHAT CLUBS WOULD YOUR CHARACTER JOIN?

he probably wouldn’t join any clubs bc high school is around the time he started down the path of Bad Shit so he definitely wasn’t spending any time hanging around the school if he didn’t have to

54: WHAT IS THE SADDEST THING ABOUT YOUR CHARACTER’S LIFE?

he doesn’t realize that people are complicated and that good people are capable of and do bad things sometimes. he’s not a monster for the mistakes he made in the past. he’s genuinely good, he’s doing his best, and people love him and care about him and he needs to know that.
