Hi guys~! ⛅👋

Long time no see! Much longer than I ever intended, in fact. Truth be told, I wanted to make a public post sooner, but I've had a lot to catch up on in terms of notifications and messages since logging back in a few days ago. I've also made some changes that I will address shortly, but first of all I wanted to thank those of you who have reached out with so much care and understanding during my absence. Adjusting has been a slow and fragile process for me -still is-, and I sadly haven't responded directly to everyone yet because of it, but I wanted to say how much I appreciate your patience and support nonetheless. 🥹 🙏

Long story short, I was gone for five months due to a huge burnout, then progressively found my spark again somewhere along the way and have since mostly recovered. It was my wonderful friend @drones-of-innocence who reached out to me outside of Tumblr, and her sense of initiative is largely the reason why I managed to make this post in a somewhat reasonable delay. 😅💖 With that said however, I must also mention that I've deleted a lot of stuff from my page and have removed most of my work from the public eye as well. This may seem quite drastic and frankly a little unsettling, but I assure you that it was a thoroughly considered and reasoned decision! The thing is that I was still getting lots of notes on these drawings everyday and… To put it simply, I didn't want that anymore. 🙇‍♀️ Experiencing popularity was very detrimental to me in the long run and I needed to put an end to it for the sake of my own wellbeing; at least for now.

Which brings me to my next point.

After mulling it over for a while, I've decided that I would not be returning as an active creator in the Mario community this time around. 👐 Making fanart for this franchise (with such a high and continuously maintained degree of involvement) had a lot to do with my health's decline and I've come to realize that I wanted to direct my focus elsewhere going forward. For that reason, there are things which I know will never be repeated again in the future, both in regards to my art and online presence in general, but that's alright. Things change, as they do and should. I'm looking forward to reuniting with folks and would be very happy to stay in touch with those of you who wish to message me privately. Like my lovely pal @istadris said, what matters most about any fandom are the friends you make in it. ☺️

And speaking of which-

@ody-and-fanatu That's so sweet of you, thank you! 💗 I'm glad you've enjoyed my contribution to the fandom. It was fun while it lasted! 💫 My visual ideas may be gone from my page, but most of my written posts and replies are still there for anyone who wants to revisit those at least, so there's that! And I'd also like to answer some of the asks I still have in my inbox at some point. Knowing that you hold my art in such high regard makes really happy! 🥰 Unfortunately, the other account that I have is reserved for my professional work and I prefer to keep them separate from one other, but the good thing is that I intend to go back to this blog occasionally. Hoping to see you around! Cheers! 🥂

@heiressofdoodles Thanks, I appreciate that! ✨ I'm honestly doing much better than I was earlier this Spring. Back then, I was running on empty and on the verge of crashing without even knowing it. Being in constant physical pain was one thing, but feeling mentally and emotionally drained on a daily basis was another entirely, and something had to be done. It took me a moment to really figure out what was wrong, but thankfully I realized very quickly what was causing it and applied the breaks with all my might. One of my main priorities now is to be more alert and respect my own boundaries to make sure that this never happens again. 🥲

@keakruiser Thank you. 🙏💐 I'm just glad to have found my footing again. Feels good to be able to create freely.^^ Hope you're doing well too!

Special thanks also to @pianokantzart, @jelly-fish-wishes, @katlyntheartist, @triniji and @wahooitsamee for their kind words. 🫂 Your graciousness and consideration means a lot to me. 💝

As for all the nice people who sent me anon comments and well wishes, I tried to summarize my thoughts as best I could in this update, but if there's anything else you'd like to say or know, don't hesitate to ask me anytime! Now that I feel like myself again, I think I'm gonna hang out on Tumblr for a little bit. I'll be excited to see what you guys have been up to in the meantime! 🤗 Wishing you all a very good day and pleasant Fall. 🍂

TS3: Better Greet

Here’s a brand new script mod for you! I got sick of seeing all Sims greet each other with handshakes, so I made this mod to fix and expand upon one of EA’s most annoying oversights in my opinion.

Better Greet overhauls the visual aspect of the Greet social interaction and allows Sims to play diverse greeting animations under different circumstances. See more details on all its features under the cut! 👋

Overview

In the vanilla game, greetings are limited almost exclusively to handshakes, with the only exceptions being the cultural greetings from World Adventures and the Proper greetings from Supernatural, as well as a rare ‘wave’ greeting that takes place when one of the involved Sims is carrying a baby or an object.

This behavior seems to be an oversight by the developers, as the Social Data for the Greet interaction includes some rules that in theory would allow Sims to use different animations when greeting friends, romantic partners and so on, but the actual script that handles greetings completely disregards these rules.

This mod aims to solve that and expand upon the possibilities by making Sims’ greetings also take into account things like personality traits, social group and relationship status.

Features

There are a host of new conditions under which Sims can perform the new greeting styles. Some aspects of these conditions can be edited in the mod’s Tuning resource, such as the relationship level or social group level required for a greeting to be performed. By default, the mod is tuned in a way that strangers, acquaintances, friends and romantic partners all greet each other differently.

Though there are no hard requirements, many of the greeting styles rely on expansion packs for their animations or to fulfill certain requirements, such as: World Adventures, Showtime, University Life, Island Paradise, Into The Future. The mod can still be used without any of these packs, the corresponding greeting types will simply not be available.

If UL is installed, Socially Awkward Sims have a chance of performing some greetings awkwardly. The reaction to these greetings depends on the target Sim's traits; friendlier Sims won't mind and will turn an awkward greeting into a successful one.

There are two optional alternate modes available that modify the greeting rules, which can be enabled in the Tuning XML file:

Euro Mode: Adjusts the rules of the Double Cheek Kiss greeting in order to mimic the customs of parts of the world where giving a kiss on each cheek is a common greeting. This can be mixed and matched with the Check Gender tuning, which can restrict this greeting to be performed only with female Sims if enabled.

Historical Mode: Makes Proper Bow and Curtsey the default greetings (SN required) and disables some greetings that might not fit in a historical gameplay setting, such as High Five or Shaka Bra. Players who use the LN Celebrity system to simulate social ranks can take advantage of the Celeb Check tuning, which makes Sims greet with Proper Bow or Curtsey with Sims of a higher celebrity level, and Handshake with Sims of a lower celebrity level.

Acquaintance Greetings

Wave: By default, Sims will introduce themselves with a Wave instead of a Handshake. If their LTR is -20 or below, they will always use this greeting, with special animations if LN is installed.

Handshake: Sims will greet with a Handshake if at least one of the Sims is an adult, or if one of the Sims is a Workaholic. If WA is installed, two Workaholic Sims will greet with a Fast Handshake.

Double Cheek Kiss: If WA is installed and Euro Mode is enabled, Friendly Sims can greet with a Double Cheek Kiss as long as the target is not a Loner.

Friendly Greetings

Friendly Hug: Sims will greet with a Friendly Hug if their LTR is at least 40. If one of the Sims is a Loner, their LTR must be at least 60.

Shaka Bra: If IP is installed, Sims who share the Loves to Swim trait and have a LTR of at least 15 will perform this greeting.

What's Up: If SHT is installed and the actor has the Social Butterfly trait, they will perform this greeting with other Sims if their LTR is at least 10. Uses the Trait Bonding animation. If SHT is not installed, the required trait is Schmoozer.

Double Cheek Kiss: If WA is installed, Sims who share either the Snob or Diva (SHT) traits will perform this greeting if their LTR is at least 25. If Euro Mode is enabled, the trait requirement is skipped.

High Five: If UL and ITF are installed, Sims who share a Social Group can greet with a High Five as long as their influence level is at least 1, and they have a LTR value of at least 20.

Old Friend Hug: If ITF is installed, Old Friends can perform this greeting. Uses the Hug Long Lost Descendant animation. 

Romantic Greetings

Amorous Hug: Romantically involved Sims will perform this greeting if their LTR value is at least 60.

Shy Kiss: Romantically involved Sims will perform this greeting if they have had their first kiss before and the actor is Shy and their LTR is at least 70.

Amorous Kiss: Romantically involved Sims will perform this greeting if they have had their first kiss before and their LTR is at least 80. Shy Sims can perform this greeting if their LTR is at least 90.

Dip Kiss: If ITF is installed, Romantically Involved Sims will perform this greeting if the actor isn't Shy, is a Hopeless Romantic, has had their first kiss before and their LTR is at least 90.

Gestures

In addition to the improved Greet rules, I’ve added a new Gesture… pie menu category full of custom interactions equivalent to most of the new greeting styles, giving you options to greet Sims however you prefer.

By default, many gestures have the same LTR requirements as they do in Greet, but most of them have no trait requirements (exceptions being Bow, Proper Bow and Curtsey.) Some gestures also have a chance of failing if the initiator has the Socially Awkward trait. These can all be modified in the Tuning XML file, so you can disable the Socially Awkward outcomes for gestures or get rid of all LTR/trait restrictions altogether.

To avoid redundancy, some gestures are essentially clones of the socials they share animations with and are only available when the target Sim hasn’t been greeted yet, such as Friendly Hug and all the romantic greetings. High Five and Shaka Bra have been hidden from the Friendly category and made available in the Gesture category instead.

Strings & Language Support

The new Gesture pie menu interactions are translated in the following languages:

English

Chinese — zh-TW (by Little Duck Liu)

Czech (by ProtectusCZ)

French (by Nostural)

German (by McNero)

Italian (by Giuls.ds)

Polish (by FernPolska)

Portuguese — pt-BR (by Aeri)

Russian (by @hydro1st)

Spanish — es-ES and es-MX

In addition to the brand new strings for gestures, I’ve replaced the strings of some tangentially related interactions:

In the Spanish versions of the game, the Invite Over phone interaction was incorrectly translated to “Invitar a casa” (Invite Home), despite actually inviting the Sim to whichever lot the active Sim is currently in, not just their home lot. Corrected to “Invitar a solar actual” (Invite to Current Lot.) Other languages this mod is translated in may include their own correction of the string if necessary. All other languages will continue to use the original interaction name.

It’s possible the same mistake occurs in other localizations of the game, so as always, I appreciate any submissions of STBLs in other languages!

The Ask to Leave interaction is renamed to Goodbye across all supported languages. A little less crass sounding if you want to send a visiting friend home. 🙂

Ask Everyone to Leave is renamed to Goodbye to Everyone. Since I couldn’t find the exact string in the game files like I could with “Goodbye”, I've only made this change in English and Spanish (es-ES & es-MX). Other languages this mod is translated in may or may not include their own adjustment for this string. All other languages will continue to use the original interaction name.

Tuning

To edit the mod’s tuning, open the .package file with s3pe and edit the Tuning XML resource in a text editor of your choice.

There are lots of different tunables as I've tried to make the mod as customizable as possible, but adding them all in here would make the post even longer than it already is 😅. I've tried to organize them as neatly as I could in the XML so hopefully you'll be able to make changes easily!

Compatibility

Conflicts with any other mod that replaces the social_greet jazz script in JazzData.

Conflicts with any other mod that replaces the SocialActionAvailability XML resource in GameplayData.

Download: SFS / MTS

Place the .package file in your Packages or Overrides folder.

Hey bb girl mwah!

[ladydeath-vanserra]

Hello 👋

I love your thoughts on anti ic and the way you delve into everything and actually name the issues within them .

I have a rant about Feyre :

I liked her in Book 1 but book 2 onwards Mr SA melted her brain . There are lots of things that irk me about feyre : Her Hipocrasy first and foremost

The Hipocrasy is strong with this girl istg , like you're the one who does a free public porn show for the guy who SA you and then have the gall to compliment rhys when he uses his powers on keir for calling you a whore. Like wtf ? I am on kiers side in this , if your dictator ( because that's what rhysand is ) was fingering a fae in front of all of his court I'd be disgusted too .

The scene where feyre starts crying because of nestas expenditure ? Like bitch you have 5 houses and your "friend s" are always out drinking and fucking and you don't have a problem with that ? I actually think mor is an alcoholic and her relationship with cassian is incestuous.

Feyre locking Nesta in the HOW even after her trauma when tamlin locked her up in the manor like are you kidding me rn ? Seriously if I was nesta I would've verbally rendered feyre to a pile of dust .

Coming to that she also has no phycological damage from the 3 months rhysand SA her and made her do lap dances but when your sister is snarky and calls you for her decisions you have the gall to have trauma about that ? Be fr bro I call my brother whore for fun 💀( only children shouldn't be allowed to write sibling relationships - sjm )

Sorry if this got too long , I just wanted to rant to someone and I hope you understand ( you're one of the few people in this fandom with actual functioning neurons )

Thank you 💗

Yeah, I don't really get Rhysand's whole,,, well anything regarding politics tbh. He talks down and degrades the CoN and treat them as nothing more than oppressive misogynists' in front of them and then proceeds to perform sexual acts with the woman he then wants to be viewed in a professional, respectable and political light and when that doesn't happen, due to the whole sexual act and 'Rhysand's harlot' or whatever she called herself, thing, Rhysand then assaults Keir

So like.... he can assert authority and abuse power when it comes to disrespect to the girl he literally wanted to be his plaything in front of these people, but he can't assert authority when it comes to protecting the vulnerable populations of the CoN or to establish progressive laws. He says Keir is in charge of the CoN and that he can't use the Darkbringers without his permission but then he assaults the Steward of the CoN. High Lord or not that doesn't make a lick of sense if he ever wants to be viewed as a legitimate ruler. I would also be disgusted by such vulgar acts- besides these people did not consent to be witnesses to sexual acts of display

Feyre crying is... I dunno. Like I chalked it up to hormones, but I am more concerned with Rhysand's blatant manipulation and emotional and financial abuse of reading off expenses in front of every single member of the IC. That is a form of shame and humiliation in order for Feyre to 'get her sister under control'. But I also agree, I think it's completely unnecessary and hypocritical of Rhysand and Co to look down their noses at Nesta for spending money when Rhysand himself said that the IC bleed him dry with their flagrant spending on alcohol and parties- which is said in ACOMAF but then it gets played off for the Laugh

Feyre and Rhysand locking Nesta up in the HoW is just sooooo. guh. How is it that when Tamlin does it for *checks notes* five minutes it's the most egregious, unforgiveable sin but when Rhysand and Feyre not ONLY lock her up, they demolished her home, they had Elain pack up her belongings, they made her live with a man Nesta repeatedly, verbally said she wanted nowhere near her. Plus the humiliation factor of not only being talked at in front of the IC, but Rhysand, Feyre and Amren talking about Nesta via Mental Powers in front of Nesta. There was so, so much wrong with that entire scene and the fact that both the narrative and the fandom cannot see why that scene was so disgusting is quite frankly, alarming

Like I can get that Feyre could have emotional and internalized feelings of a bad self image via Nesta from childhood, but I am also aware of what can happen when children are forced into extremely small proximity with each other with a very toxic and unhealthy household. Nesta and Feyre both were at each other's throats. they were both awful to each other and there is a rather large amount of assumption by Feyre and a large amount of miscommunication with both the girls

Rhysand however, with all his abuses of Feyre UtM, just... being forgotten about, just like that, is very weird. Very weird, especially if Nesta is still paying for sins from before the first book even took place. Feyres not getting triggered from the Weavers cottage? shes not getting triggered with his "Feyre Darling"? She's not getting triggered being in the CoN where UtM was inspired by? She's not getting triggered wearing those scraps of clothes? She's not getting triggered when Rhys uses paint on Feyre in Chapter 55 or whatever chapter it was just like he did UtM in front of Tamlin??????

Feyre brings up UtM ONCE to Rhysand and he gets all hyperventilatey and says theyll 'talk about it later' and then guess what, it doesn't. It just gets explained that he just had to torture his mate and what it was doing to him

give me a break

Hello👋 I was wondering how would the skinless chicken-I MEAN Nathanael interact with Raphael's older sibling?😅

cw: minor spoiler dividers-credit: @kodaswrld m.list

nathaniel and you…

⋆ ˚｡⋆are the epitome of a match made in hell! We have a body dissection loving maniac who breaks guns with bare hands and a sociopath whose father you buried for the throne that your brother now occupies. Of course, you guys get along like a house on fire.

⋆ ˚｡⋆surprisingly have the time to hang out. You always find a way to forcefully squeeze yourself into his schedule, like dropping by unannounced during his night shifts so you can whip him away for a few minutes! The nurses and patients mistake you two for a couple all the time, something Nathaniel doesn’t bother to clarify anymore.

⋆ ˚｡⋆share what can almost be considered as a bond despite the chaos going on. Aside from Raphael, he’s the one guy whose company you somewhat enjoy and find amusement in. You’re also the only girl who gets to spray deodorant in this scary man’s face and don’t end up being slammed against the wall. It’s a win-win! ☪︎ ･ﾟ ･Nathaniel... begrudgingly acknowledges the influence you have on Glory Club. How a fragile-looking woman can command fear and respect without trying. He, though, still has a hard time wrapping his head around the mind-boggling jokes you blurt out sometimes versus the cruelty you’re capable of inflicting. One night, after a quick patient checkup, the Apostle found you in the hallway along with two of his men out cold on the floor, their hands and legs bent at all different angles. Then you just ran up to him with a smile, never elaborating on what happened. ☪︎ ･ﾟ ･You... think Nathaniel’s pride now might as well be his downfall. He’s strong, he’s smart, and he has potential. But this is THE Peter we’re talking about. If that boogeyman is lurking around the corner and somehow still as unbeatable as he was 50 years ago, Nathaniel—even in all his evolutionary glory—statistically stands no chance of surviving. And if he is lucky enough to just barely make it out alive, the man’s ego is gonna be damaged for good. ☪︎ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･❂

“It’s so cold out here…” You tugged your legs underneath your chin and let out a loud yawn, wiggling your feet. “I thought the rainy season ended last week?”

Five centimeters away from you on the bench, Nathaniel leisurely sipped on his Americano. “High humidity levels,” he set the cup aside, “so your clothes might get saturated by the moisture in the air.”

“Huh, guess that’s why I’m still shivering in these 70D stockings—“ mid-sentence, your eyes widened when the guy suddenly took off his blouse and draped it over your lap. “Thanks.”

Nathaniel just shrugged and picked up his drink again. Two nurses walked by and cooed at the scene, though you weren’t sure if the attention was on you or him, or the playing-house act he had been tolerating for a while.

You scanned your surroundings: the hospital’s courtyard was mostly empty at this point. A few elderly patients hung out in the right corner of a dimly lit cafeteria, doing their nighttime stretches. When you look up, a billboard on the side of the building greeted your eyes—a picture of an old-looking Peter with his back hunched. The bounty flashed beneath it in place of the contact number for donation: 7,6 Billion Won.

“Kim Soongu…” The words left your lips as an afterthought, but then you caught Nathaniel’s jaws clenching in your peripheral vision with the coffee cup suddenly crushed to a pulp in his palm, a river of brown dripping to the ground.

The awkward silence didn’t even last for three seconds before a hysterical fit of laughter left your throat as you clung to your stomach.

“Holy fuck—“ snickering, you leaned against Nathaniel’s side like you two were having a sleepover. “Look at the way you got your panties in a twist with just the mention of his name. Is he that good?”

Your slightly-closer-than-an-acquaintance furrowed his eyebrows and answered through gritted teeth. “Brat…”

“Annoying too?” you mirrored his cocked brow with amusement, cheek leaning on his shoulder as you watched the guy slip off his beverage-soaked glove, “didn’t the stats say Soongu is just another D-rank killer though?”

“Not it from my observation.” Nathaniel huffed. “He had some untapped potential. Having him on my team would be… beneficial.”

You tilted your head. “For…?”

“Taking down Peter,” he looked a little irritated at your constant questioning, but ultimately decided not to show that frustration. Instead, Nathaniel’s raspy voice took on what seemed to be a teasing note; his lips curled up into an easy-going smile as the man flicked your forehead.

“So much for your plastic surgery idea, princess.”

“Ow—!” You squealed, touching the violated skin; he wasn’t even using force and you could already feel a bump rising. “What do you mean? So it wasn’t him?”

“It’s real skin from what I felt.” Nathaniel ran a hand over his hair. “Tch, whatever. When he shows up tomorrow, I’ll definitely find out.”

Tomorrow. You tucked your legs further under your chin, eyes still trained on him.

“Hyun Il.”

“?”

The Apostle turned his head towards you.

“You’re 100% likely to die.”

“Doubtful, aren’t we?”

You let out a giggle. “You wanna hear me say it?”

Nathaniel’s gaze hardened. “I will win.”

Cute.

A sigh left your lips as you stared up at the dark sky above. It was a relatively starless night, but there were still some lonely orbs twinkling if you squinted hard enough.

Some saw themselves as the sun—the center of this universe with planets orbiting around them. Constantly striving for a new high. Yet there were bound to be limits. A wall in between. Something, someone who might just show up one day and render all of their efforts useless.

How incompetent we were in the grand scheme of things.

☪︎ ･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･⋆˖⁺‧₊☽◯☾₊‧⁺˖⋆･ﾟ ･ﾟ·:｡･ﾟﾟ･❂

"Planning to dig up his body?"

Raphael's comment earns a small smile from you. Taking your little brother's hand, you stand up from where you have been crouching on the ground for the last few minutes.

"Nathaniel doesn't need to be physically here to haunt me," you hum playfully while his fingers brush off the imaginary dust on your hair. "Jokes aside, he's cremated. I'm surprised to find out that could still work without the furnace blowing up; he's like a walking T vessel."

"Mhm…"

"Found anything at the scene?"

At your inquiry, Raphael's brows drawn together in a way that reminds you of Nathaniel. Then again, frustration doesn't have a second face.

"Tch, nothing at all." His grip around your shoulders tighten. "That bastard vanished without a trace."

All the killers dying… so that really was Peter's doings. You've seen the outcome from miles away, yet who is to say the result doesn't baffle you in the slightly? What Glory Club is dealing with here is no longer a human being.

"Hey, Raphael…" for a second, the face of an unfamiliar teenager pops up in your mind—black hair, red eyes that hold an immaculate sense of authority, "do you think that…"

"Yes?" Your brother tilted his head. There's a lump in your throat that is suddenly too hard to swallow.

"Nevermind," as quick as that eerie hypothesis comes to be, you forcefully swat it away; a sharp edge to your smile, "let's get back, shall we? It's gonna start raining soon."

Hi 💃 Sorry this has been in my head for like an hour, but I was listening to music and I think the song called Past Lives REALLY fits Yuusha in some way?? I can't exactly form the words shdkajjckaf but the lyrics seem to make sense and I don't know how else to put it 🧍‍♀️

Past lives couldn't ever hold me down Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found I've got the strangest feeling This isn't our first time around Past lives couldn't ever come between us Sometimes the dreamers finally wake up Don't wake me, I'm not dreaming

(eugh it looks like they're doing a high-five but i wanted it for them to be dancing ;; oh well 🧍)

(also read more below bc this turned into another ramble omg i cant shut up)

HI HI! 👋👋👋👋 SORRY I COULDN'T HELP IT

AND I'M NOT EVEN SURE IF THIS IS THE RIGHT SONG YOU'RE REFERRING TO BC YOU DIDNT SPECIFY AN ARTIST BUT IT SEEMS TO FIT ????

i just pulled up the first ones when i looked up the song on spotify 😭

i think both are pretty much the same song though???

anyways EITHER WAY THIS GAVE ME EAR WORMS I CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT?? this is my type of music i cant explain it 🤧🤧

ALSO ALSO WAITTT WHY HOW -- HOWD YOU READ HER THIS WELL

IS SHE THAT OBVIOUS OR AM I JUST REALLY GENERIC

bc there's also this headcanon that there's a version of the twst cast back from the world where yuu/mc came from

and i'd like to think yuusha had a partner back in her world similar to jamil before she ended up in twst ;;;;

I've got the strangest feeling This isn't our first time around Past lives couldn't ever come between us

IM LOSING IT---- THEY ARE SOULMATES BECAUSE I SAID SO (<- delusional)

and also this specific line ,,,,

Don't wake me, I'm not dreaming

lowkey my mind is also buzzing with thoughts i can't put it all into words as to why this fits SO much, especially with yuu having dreams canonically

i guess for yuusha specifically she feels content with the people around her in twst but shes still convinced everything is like a fever dream and "going home" will put everything back to normal

so the line "dont wake me im not dreaming" is her true thoughts, she is in denial and she doesn't want to wake up from the "dream" that is twst wonderland bc shes finally happy

[shaydh]

high fiving all my fellow aros and aces, just cuz 👋 happy pride!

HIGH FIVE HIM 👋 NOW 😠

He's trying so hard!!

School starts in a couple days so I'm ready to act like him 😔

[sheepywritesfics]

Hey everybody! 👋 🥰

Thanks so much for tagging me, @firstprincehornyramblings ! 💞💞💞

Don't really have anything to say this time around except for please prepare yourselves before reading this snippet from my redactedtaynick game night fic because it's incredibly goofy, and I love it to bits avdnjdordfpl 🙈🙈🙈

"Splendid job we did with the orgasm this time around, isn’t that right mate?" Nick asks, the goofiness of it all combined with an abundance syrupy nostalgia threatening to have him burst into a fit of giggles at any moment, the only thing keeping him from falling apart completely being his teeth digging into his bottom lip while bafflement now colors Taylor's whole face making Nick feel even more giddy than before.

"I can't even-, you, you are so-," Taylor shakes his head, eyes crinkling and smiling a wide gummy smile adorned with his irresistible dimples, barely able to talk with how hard he's laughing as their hands briefly meet in a high five before he crushes Nick back down into the mattress, both of their bodies laying sideways with Nick's legs clinging around his waist and arms wrapped loosely around his back.

Chapter Seven

Might be a few days for the next part, travelling for my surgery :3c

So many people reading now tho, hi! 👋

TW: Unwanted touching/groping, mention of miscarriage, parental death mention

Quaritch watched your resting form across by the banshees. His own had shifted to lay closer to you, not quite touching you, but definitely shielding you from the others. He worried somewhat, Spider had said they were carnivorous, were you in any danger from them? As if reading his mind Spider propped himself up on one arm.

"You want to kill Y/N?" Quaritch's head snapped towards him.

"What?! No." Spider laughed at his sudden response. Miles regretted being so candid with him, he should have made a dumb joke. 'Yeah kid every other second'. Something daft, light-hearted, something to get the kid further from the truth of his feelings.

"Well then, they'll be fine. Your Ikran will reflect your will towards them." Spider settled back down. Quaritch expected some mocking comment, that was the kids normal MO.

"So..." Here it comes. "What do you think of Y/N?" Quaritch chocked a little.

"Nope. Not having this conversation" Quaritch flopped down.

"You're not subtle, I just wanna clear things up..."

"Not whats happening kid. They're a captive to keep you in line and that's it. End of it." Quaritch would rather fall off the cliff again than hear another word about this. He did not want to talk about this with anyone, especially not with your son. Spider for his part kept his mouth shut but he could see his smirk.

There's no way he approved. This person was like a parent to him and he was the enemy. Though Quaritch had noted Spider softening to him. He caught his expression when he flew back up out of the gorge, the kid had been near tears. He cared for him, he didn't know to what extent yet but he was happy to let this flourish. He might not be the original Miles Quaritch but he hoped the kid would take him as a substitute, maybe an improvement. He'd come to terms with the fact he wanted him in his life. The kid was human after all, he could get him a place in the world he'd help carve out for humanity. Spider was a long way still from seeing him as family but he could get there if he could keep him on his side.

Your change in attitude could prove helpful in this. He might have written off you obviously checking him out the previous night, no harm done in looking, he'd done his fair share when you weren't paying attention. He was not ready to write off today's behavior however, he saw your face too when he flew back up. You grinning up at him, relieved, then cheering for him on top of that, he'd eaten that up.

He'd preened himself around the camp that night. Riding high on your ego stroke, the biggest mount, least injured by the affair and now Spider's full attention. He'd babbled next to him, excitedly sharing everything he knew of the banshees, desperately wanting to know what flying was like. Apparently the Sullys had never taken him up into the air.

"Well you'll be up there tomorrow, right with me." He puffed his chest. A win against Sully. Giving the kid something even his supposed people never offered him.

"Yeah..." He smile faltered.

"What is it kid?" Quaritch rested his hand on his shoulder, for the first time Spider didn't shake him off.

"I'll never really know what it's like, I'll never get my own."

"Spider..."

That's when you'd approached, Spider excusing himself with a joke and plodding off to the others. Quaritch couldn't dwell long on his worry however. Your hands on him was too much to ignore. His mind drifted back to what you'd said about 'tsaheylu', the thought had drifted past then but he focused on it now. Could he do that to you? If he did what would that mean for you both?

You were so close, your scent overwhelming him. He imagined swinging his legs closed, trapping you against him. He closed his eyes a moment, focusing on the feeling of your hands running up his arms, stopping at his neck. Over the bite you'd given him. He opened his eyes again suddenly grabbing you wrist more gently than he'd gripped you before. He couldn't stay this close to you, as nice as you'd been acting today he didn't think you'd take as kindly to what he'd do just yet.

Laying awake now, he watched you sleep. The gentle swell and fall of your chest, the way your hip exaggerated when you lay on your side. He decided he could have it all. Spider was already so close to accepting him properly, he would kill Jake Sully and he would make you his.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Morning broke and you woke up in a similar way to the last. Sitting up and feeling something heavy drop into your lap. This time to your shock however it was the large head of 'Cupcake', as Quaritch had called him. Cupcake rose, shaking awake. He bumped his long head against yours, rubbing affectionately. You giggled, allowing him to mess your hair up and reaching up to hold his face. You cooed at the beast, he was far sweeter than Jake's Bob had ever been.

Quaritch cleared his throat next to you. Straightening up suddenly you turned your attention to him. Your smile quickly returned, noticing Cupcake had done the exaxr same next to you. You couldn't help another giggle.

"Cupcake is a strange one"

"Cupcake?" Quaritch quirked an eyebrow up, offering you his hand to get up.

Confused you responded taking his hand. The cuffs made everything harder you justified. "Cupcake, that's what you called him before?"

"Oh" Quaritch laughed a little "Suppose I did, more of a nickname."

You removed your hand from hia, smoothing out your shawl.

"Do you have another name for him then?" You weren't sure what cupcake meant, it wasn't a nickname you'd heard from any of the English speakers you'd met before.

"Nah, Cupcake will have to do" He put his hands on his hips. Spider appeared around him.

"Cupcake it is!" He exclaimed moving to touch his neck. Cupcake moved into his hand, pulling his chin up to give plenty of access to be pet. It was awfully strange Ikran behavior from what you had seen before. Most Ikrans certainly tolerated the people in their riders life. Though Bob had let Jake's young children pet him, maybe Cupcake recognized Spider as Quaritch's.

"Who's Y/N riding with?" Spider turned back to Quaritch. You hadn't really thought about it yourself. You hadn't been given the chance to fight for your own, not that you thought you'd have managed. Though the recoms hadn't cared for the tradition of it they'd fought well for them, you never trained for such things.

"Wainfleet'll take them" Quaritch walked back over to the others, giving orders. You prickled at this, you'd have been happy to ride with Zdog, though perhaps since both her and Mansk were more injured they wouldn't be suited to having a passenger. Still the idea of riding with Lyle disgusted you. He only seemed to get bolder with each day and you did not want to spend hours clinging to his back.

Quaritch mounted Cupcake, pulling an excited Spider up and in front of him.

"Head out!" He ordered, Cupcake taking to the edge to begin his flight.

"Wait the restraints?" You moved a few steps forward before you felt rough hands grab your underarms and haul you up. You squealed and heard Lyle's laugh too close to your ears. He manhandled you into the space in front of him, his hands pulling your hips back and towards him. You swatted him off the best you could with still bound hands, hissing over your shoulder.

"Suit yourself buttercup, just don't want the boss chewing me out for dropping your ass" He held both hands up in surrender but you didn't like the way he smiled at you. You grumbled, pinching his mounts body between your thighs and holding her neck for balance.

Lyle took off roughly sending you falling back against him again. The day continued on like this, you'd pull away or create as much space as you could then he'd veer or drop in just the right way to send you back to him. The first couple of times you could have thought it was an accident, it was only his second flight after all, but as the day wore on you were furious. He was doing this on purpose.

You'd been passing over the swamp lands for an hour or so now. You barely registered them passing bellow you. Lyle had put his hand on your leg after the last quick swerve and had been progressively reaching it higher and higher. You wanted to bite it off but there was little you could do trapped in the air with him. Any action could cause you to fall, could you call to Zdog? Would she help? She'd hissed at him before for you, maybe she could scare him off. She was too far back from you, the wind would sweep your voice away before it reached her.

"Copy that. We're coming in for a landing there." Lyle spoke into your ear, reaching an arm past you to point at a large patch of solid land, rivers threading around either side. That hand dropped down and held your waist, the other now on your thigh began to slip to the inside.

You saw red. You were clawing and hissing, pushing him.

"Don't touch me! Don't you dare touch me!" You scream at him, swinging your cuffed hands together at him. He kept a grip on you, shouting for you to calm down, to stay still while he landed.

As soon as you were close enough to the ground you began kicking him. You pushed off, falling hard onto the moss bellow. The others landed, quickly dismounting to come check what was happening. Quaritch's features were set in a line, he was angry. You didn't care in the moment, scrambling up.

Lyle had his hands up, spouting some lies, calling you crazy. You roared at him swinging to kick him in his gut. He was a more experienced fighter than you however, catching your ankle.

"Quit it buttercup!" He spat out at you.

"Let her go." Quaritch commanded. Lyle scoffed dropping your ankle, you stumbled back. Quaritch caught your shoulders, before passing you off to Spider. He touched your arm sympathetically before returning his glare to Lyle.

"You don't touch her." Quaritch got into Lyles space, his face humorless. He jabbed a finger against Wainfleet's chest. "Got it?"

Wainfleets body language changed in an instant. His swaying tail stilled, his ears tipped down.

"Yes sir." He bowed his head, not looking at Quaritch. There was a tension still in the air. Neither man seemed quite ready to back down, Quaritch's tail thrashing behind him.

Zdog cleared her throat loudly. Attention turned to her, a fight abandoned. You still wanted blood, Lyle's to be precise. The recoms regrouped, planning next steps, where to further their search for the Sullys.

You missed them you realised, you're anger with them had lessened in your days since reuniting with Spider. You'd come to understand Neytiri better, she was like you, doing whatever she had to do for her children. You laid a hand on Spider's shoulder beside you, he looked up sympathetically at you.

"I'll have to break his fingers first chance I get" Spider wrapped an arm around you. You smiled down at him, his stripes were wearing away.

"Thank you." You took in your surroundings now, home. The deep greens and muddy yellows of the rivers plantlife snaked through the lands you'd spent your happiest and worst moments of childhood. Rusty coloured ferns that you'd played with the other children in, deep blue leafy plants you'd use to hide in from your lessons. The water was still bloodied with the chemicals that poisoned your teacher, your mother's unborn, then her. It hurt to be here, your heart ached for all that you'd lost.

Spider sensed your pain, walking you gently over to where Mansk had began preparations for a fire. He looked up at you this time, catching your eye, though through his sunglasses you weren't sure. His ears tipped down and he looked away again, tail swishing unsettled behind him. You weren't sure why he acted so strange towards you. It was submissive, a more exaggerated version of how men had acted around your Tsahìk. Especially when her mate was in a fold mood.

Quaritch sat next to you. He was grinding his teeth, still angry. You supposed to keep the peace you'd promised Spider, you would have to apologize for attacking his man. The thought sickened you, to apologize for his man's unwarranted actions. No it was not your fault that creature couldn't keep his hands to himself.

"I'm sorry about Lyle." Quaritch looked strained. You kept your eyes locked on his profile, not entirely sure he had actually said what you thoughthe had. "He's dealt with. You'll be riding with myself or Zdog from now on." His shoulders were still squared, tensed with anger. You followed his line of sight to Wainfleet, who sat off alone with his Ikran. He'd never been upset at you, you felt relived, letting out a deep breathe.

"Thank you Quaritch." He turned to face you now, eyes darting about your face before meeting yours. It still made your cheeks burn to make eye contact, especially this close.

"Miles. Call me Miles." His voice was soft as if he spoke only for you to hear. Putting his hand out to you.

"Miles" you repeated back. It felt strange on your tongue, most human names did. He smiled at you though, you found yourself smiling back, reaching your hand out to him too.

He laughed, taking yours where it hung and shaking it properly.

"A pleasure"

Hi 👋

Can I request a fic where reader and Levi go on a date together (and they haven't been a couple for long so he's a little shy) please ?

Thank you very much ! Have a great day :)

Aslantes! Anything for you, sweetheart :)

Late night thoughts #111:

Levi was regretting not putting on his neck tie just as he rounded into your street. He felt undredressed as you were to have a date in a slightly high-end restaurant. Your friends had visited a new restaurant in town and had been posting on their social media. You never asked him to bring you but he wanted to give you what others had. He thought you deserve all the best things in life.

Besides, he wanted to be a good boyfriend. Levi knew you had a rough breakup with your last boyfriend, and you were traumatised for years. He had been your best friend since high school and a good listener to your repeating breakup tragedy. It wasn't until you told him you were ready to date again and he panicked, thinking you had found someone new. He immediately proposed to you and to his surprise, you said yes.

Although you had known each other for a long time, Levi found it awkward for his new identity as your boyfriend.

Levi got out of his car and exhaled his anxiousness. He walked onto your front porch and pressed the doorbell. Your father opened the door, and they shook hands. Levi felt shy to meet your father so formally because he used to hang around your house as a friend, but now to pick you up as a boyfriend. They talked about the weather when you walked into the living room. Levi's eyes lit up as he saw you. You wore your favourite dress, and even he had seen you in it for many times, he found you extra beautiful today.

You kissed your father's cheek as you bid goodbye to him, promising to come back early before slipping your palm into Levi's. Levi swallowed nervously because he was not used to touching you in front of your father. You waved goodbye and slided into Levi's car.

You stared at each other for a while, grinning sheepishly in a knowing way before Levi started the engine and drove toward the restaurant.

The restaurant was buzzing with people but Levi had a reservation. He made you feel special as he guided you through the queueing crowd. After ordering your food, you stared at each other dreamily, fingers tracing palms.

Feeling as if the world was dead quiet, Levi could only see you. He felt so so shy because you had all your attention on him and only him. He kept avoiding your eyes but he couldn't help but to watch you watching him. He kept grinning with his head low when his shyness level hit "critical".

After your food was served, you shared your food, eating off each other's plates. Levi would put your favourite food onto your plate, while you tried to feed him some food, he was too shy to eat it off your fork he was blushing so red as he insisted you to leave it on his plate.

.

Levi drove you to your favourite hang out place, which was a pedestrian bridge. You held hands as you walk, fingers intertwined in Levi's pocket. You stopped in the middle of the bridge, staring into the dark sky and enjoying each other's presence. Casually, you laid your head on his shoulder. You felt Levi stiffen, his back stood straight, and he swallowed nervously. Squeezing his fingers in assurance, he relaxed a bit and squeezed your fingers back.

You had seen this same night sky for many times, but today felt different.

"Levi?" You called to him.

"Hmm?"

"I love you."

Levi exhaled and tilted his head onto yours, "I-I love you too, Y/n."

Levi's phone rang and his coat vibrated. He pulled out his phone and switched off the alarm.

"I have to get you home now, Cinderella."

It's the chinese "I-Love-You" day today as it is 5.20 (pronouce as "five-two-ow" in Mandarin which sounds like "I love you"). May everyone find love today, especially @aslantes 💐
