💞 — 𝐋𝐔𝐍𝐂𝐇 𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐒.

💞 — in which professor divus crewel is down bad for his spouse.

💞 — divus crewel x reader

💞 — warnings: none really, just fluff and ace and deuce being ace and deuce.

💞 — around 700 words!! not very long, but yk it came to me when i should have been writing my essay (due tomorrow) since that card came out. ive been hella offline, my cousin had a malwi (yemeni bridal party) yesterday, and the wedding is tomorrow, and my other cousin is in the process of having engagement parties all throughout july--hope you enjoy!

“No way you get bitches,” 

“What was that, Trappola?” Crewel shot a glare at his student who was staring at the picture on his desk.

The picture was of him and his spouse, looking very happy. He looked relaxed in the picture, his arm draped around you while you held his face in your hands and kissed his cheek. The best part was that you were dressed in one of his designs, looking ever so elegant in the fur shawl over your shoulders.

Ace stiffened up and was sent a concerned glance from Deuce, “Uhm, nothing… sir,” he quickly corrected himself.

He could not help it—all the time he spent in Professor Crewel’s class was filled with a certain strictness that he did not think anyone would find appealing. The redhead glanced at the picture again, before back at his professor.

Deuce was sweating, praying to whatever was in the sky that he would not get caught up in whatever trouble Ace would be in. He almost wanted to shake some sense in his dormmate.

Crewel drew the silence out, just for the sake of intimidating his students a little longer before his brows softened. He would not do anything further wreck his mood, not when the love of his life would come over and share lunch with him. He sighed, raising a red gloved hand to pinch the bridge of his nose, “I’ll let it slide this once, pup.”

The cyan-eyed student visibly slumped in relief.

He handed each of them their corrected worksheets. They both had detailed notes written in the margins on what they could do to improve. He pointed out how Ace could use his skills in Magic Analysis and apply them to Alchemy, and gave Deuce examples that could make more sense to him. He was a strict professor, but that did not mean he was a bad professor. He knew his rowdier dogs could improve—he expected them to. He laid out the resources, they just had to use them.

“Thank you, professor!” exclaimed Deuce, bowing his head in respect as he held the page to his chest. Deep down, he appreciated his professor's willingness to correct his work so thoroughly.

Ace nodded, as if sharing the thanks with Deuce, before following his classmate out.

Things stayed quiet before you burst through the doors, carrying lunch bags with you, wearing that smile he loved so much. Your clothes were a bit of a mess, but when were they not? You were always running about and doing something.

Crewel stood from his seat, a softer grin on his face as he stepped forward, his arms reaching out to adjust your outfit. Gentle hands tugged at the collar and fixed your mixed-up buttons, “Now, I wonder what circus you just returned from,”

You laughed and leaned into his touch, “Just the kitchen, nothing too crazy, Divus. I made raisin butter and homemade bread,” you told him, excitedly.

His thumb brushed over some flour left on your cheek, “I can see that much,” he muttered before he moved to your side and slid his hand down to the small of your back, “Come sit,” he said, guiding you to the seat across from his desk.

“You saved me from another lunch spent playing chess with Mozus,”

“Oh, come on. You act like spending time with him is a chore,” you replied, reaching into the bags to set the food on the desk for you guys to share.

He carefully moved his things out of the way, before taking his seat as elegantly as ever, “It’s only a chore when he spends thirty minutes deciding on his next move.”

You rolled your eyes playfully, “One day you’ll be just as old and spending thirty minutes buttoning up your vest. When that happens, I’ll remind you of this conversation.”

He let out a little laugh at that. Your joke just affirmed what he always knew, you would be with him forever, even when white became the natural color of his hair, even once his students were visiting him as adults with their own lives, and thanking him for his harshness. He let out a breath of contentment, before carefully cutting the bread you made for him, “How was work, my love?”

May I request kaeya and kaveh threesome with a service top male reader or if that's too much can I request instead kaveh and kaeya general relationship hc :) I love your writing so far and it's so wonderfu!! :)

I can do the general relationship hc one anon^^

These two will definitely get along due to their outgoing and somewhat talkative nature.

At first, they didn't wanna share you with each other so there were times where they would always one-up the other when it comes to giving you attention.

It didn't take that long for them to accept each other and learn to share you.

These two would always bring you back a trinket or a small gift whenever they went on an expedition or even walked around the nation.

You are the one sleeping in the middle between these two. They prefer you in the middle so they could hold you and bask in your warmth.

Sure they can cook but they would prefer your cooking. It just gave them the feeling of home whenever they would eat your homemade meals.

Alhaitham and Diluc consider you as their go-to person whenever one of your boyfriends were either being a troublemaker or them being in serious trouble.

One time, you had to drag these two out of a tavern because they were almost about to cause a fight with the other customers.

Kaveh is a happy drunk, he would keep giggling at the simple things you do while muttering how perfect you are and how blessed he is to have you.

Kaeya is a flirty drunk, he would always wrap his arm around you and flirt with you until your face is as red as his brother's hair. Sometimes he would be drunk enough to leave kisses on your neck that Kaveh kept whining at how he was taking all your attention.

Both of them wants you to wear something that represents them to let people know you belong to the two of them. So they gifted you with a pair of earrings, each having a different design. One having a blue swan design while the other has a green bird one. Pavo Ocellus and Paradisaea. You are always seen wearing them.

Kisses between these two would always leave you breathless. They would make sure they kissed every spot, leaving nothing untouched.

Kaeya would always prefer your ass. While Kaveh is into your thighs.

These two are needy and clingy when it comes to your affection. They're not even embarrassed about it.

They showed it when you were guiding the traveler to Fontaine, leaving your boyfriends wanting for your attention.

Diluc and Alhaitham had to stop themselves from strangling the two. Without you around, Kaeya and Kaveh wouldn't stop talking about you and how you left them without even a kiss.

You received a personal letter from Alhaitham, with the help of Diluc's pet eagle, to hurry and come back or else they'll drag you home themselves.

Running home, you opened the door to your shared home only to be tackled to the ground by your two lovers.

One could almost say they looked like two dogs who finally saw their owner again with their tails wagging fast. You spent the whole day in between the two, they didn't let you go until dinnertime.

There was one time where these two were hiding a secret from you to the point that they would rather strangle each other than let you know.

You do have a secret weapon for that.

Alcohol is the best truth serum in the whole Teyvat that even your boyfriends won't be able to resist. You have to be sneaky when pouring them a glass or else they may catch up on your plans.

Once drunk, you can finally ask them the secrets they've been hiding from you.

"Don't tell (y/n).. but Kae.. ya and me are learning to cook.. their favourite foods.."

"Mm.. talked about the different positions.. we're going to do on them that will make them.. sore the next morning.."

Your face was beet red from the info you finally got out from the two. The secret they were keeping from you was supposed to be a surprise for your anniversary together.

You let out a gasp when you felt two pairs of arms wrap around your waist and torso. You looked down at your boyfriends and saw them grinning up at you.

"Why so red, darling?"

"Did you think you can make us tell the truth just by making us drunk?"

"I think we should punish them, Kaveh."

"Indeed."

The next morning, you had to stay in bed from how sore and full your body is.

𝐢𝐯.  𝐞𝐱𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐬.

lover  of  all  sports,  but  was  a  volleyball  star  throughout  her  youth  &  was  scouted  to  go  professional  during  her  university  years  but  had  no  desire  to  follow  through  with  it,  instead  choosing  to  focus  on  her  schooling  +  jewelry  business  that  was  taking  off.  she  still  kept  up  with  it  within  the  community  if  the  opportunity  ever  presented  itself,  though,  and  it's  something  she  enjoys  playing  to  this  day  as  a  form  of  exercise.

initially  started  designing  jewelry  as  a  way  of  making  money  for  university  following  her  move  to  LA  with  her  aunt,  mainly  designing  things  for  their  neighbours  and  their  friends.

enjoyed  reading  academic  papers  for  fun,  especially  if  they  were  studies  covering  anything  psychology  related.  she's  also  a  big  lover  of  horror,  thriller,  sci  fi,  &  poetry.

she  was  definitely  the  type  to  try  and  feed  you  if  she  ever  saw  you.  and  cooking  +  baking  were  her  favourite  ways  to  relieve  stress.

enjoys  fresh  ingredients,  so  the  hwang-bell  home  had  a  garden  of  various  fruits,  vegetables,  and  herbs  that  she  tended  to  diligently,  no  matter  how  busy  she  got.  she  was  more  than  willing  to  share  with  anyone  who  asked  and  likely  bothered  their  neighbours  with  various  homemade  treats,  jams,  etc.,  especially  towards  the  end  of  a  season  so  nothing  went  to  waste.

speaking  of  going  to  waste,  she  was  one  of  those  who  tried  to  produce  as  little  of  that  as  possible,  so  if  you're  ever  curious  how  to  minimise  your  own,  she's  a  great  person  to  ask!

big  annotator  and  lover  of  all  things  pastel,  heart  shaped  +  romance.

oranges,  grapes,  and  strawberries  are  her  favourite  fruits  and  there's  not  much  she  wouldn't  do  for  some.  this  is  also  a  good  thing  to  remember  if  you  want  to  win  her  over  because  that's  enough  for  her  to  love  you  forever  (  not  that  it's  necessary  bc  she's  her  but  y'know  ).

doesn't  always  look  like  a  cinnamon  roll  but  is  the  sweetest  cinnamon  roll..  y'know.  99.7%  of  the  time. while  she  can  find  the  positives  in  any  situation,  she's  (  surprisingly  )  more  of  a  realist,  especially  when  it  comes  to  herself  and  anything  related  to  her  family.

was  a  big  workaholic,  could  often  be  found  sketching  designs  on  anything  she  could  get  her  hands  on  if  she  had  no  paper  available.  even  if  yall  were  in  the  middle  of  a  conversation,  if  inspiration  struck,  she  has  to  draw  it. 

has  been  fixated  on  grief  practically  her  whole  life;  it's  a  topic  she's  constantly  exploring  and  researching,  so  if  she  ever  talks  to  you  about  it…  sry  :/// definitely  a  highly  sensitive  person,  takes  on  the  pain  of  others  as  if  it  were  her  own  and  can  empathise  with  literally  every  person  and  thing  on  the  planet.  does  it  make  her  life  difficult?  a  little,  but  she  wouldn't  trade  it  for  the  world.  even  if  it  does  mean  she  often  cries  at  night. 

is  she  a  bleeding  heart?  yeah,  probably  :///

despite  her  sweetness,  it's  always  family  above  everything  for  june  (  though  she's  not  the  type  to  believe  anyone  is  perfect  and/or  incapable  of  doing  wrong,  herself  included  )  and  there's  nothing  she  wouldn't  do  to  keep  them  safe.

piggybacking  off  the  aforementioned,  she's  terrifying  if  you  get  on  her  bad  side.  of  course,  it's  usually  a  difficult  thing  to  do  because  she  gives  out  second  chances  like  candy  100  times  over,  but  once  she's  deemed  you  unworthy  of  her  kindness,  there's  no  going  back.  except  she's  never  in  your  face  about  any  of  it;  she's  someone  who  prefers  ranged  attacks,  so  to  speak,  and  would  rather  be  subtle.

the  pocket  knife  she  carries  was  a  gift  from  her  aunt  who  always  told  her  it  was  one  of  those  things  that  were  best  to  have  and  not  need  than  the  other  way  around.

(  note:  my  muses  always  come  to  life  through  plotting,  rather  than  sticking  to  my  original  idea,  so  some  of  this  is  likely  to  change  and/or  be  added  upon  ).

[deltaswap2442]

An Alternate UnderSwap

An alternate take on UnderSwap

Frisk swaps with MK. Frisk is a human disguised as a monster. MK is a half human half monster (idk)

Chara swaps with Asriel. Chara is still the first fallen human but their soul controls a rose and they go by Rosie and with enough souls they can recreate their old body. Asriel was able to become a ghost with his determination and guides MK

Toriel swaps with River Person. Toriel ran away after Asgore disappeared and hides on the river. She wears a hood but it doesn't conceal her identity too well. River Person now goes by her true name Arial. She still has a shadowy face but it's in the shape of a skull. She was the former wife of Gaster but when he took the mantle of king and made their children part of the Royal Family she didn't think she could handle the responsibility of a queen. Her shadowy face is a result of an experiment done by her and Gaster. It doesn't hurt or anything just a mild annoyance

Napstablook swaps with Training Dummy. Napstablook posseses a punching bag esque training dummy and is rather passive and shy. Training Dummy is really bland and desires companionship. Very vanilla boring dude and is a writer but always writes bland uninteresting stories.

Sans swaps with Alphys. Sans is the Royal scientist hired by his dad Gaster. He feels like he didn't really earn his position but plays along nonetheless. He's studying quantum physics and is on the brink of discovering resets. He's a chill laid-back guy outside his lab and usually wears a lab coat, slippers, underwear, and shirts with science puns. Alphys is the former royal scientist who quit to live with Undyne in Snowdin after Undyne had trouble adapting to Hotland. Alphys isn't particularly interested in science anymore. She blames herself over every mistake. Instead of making puns she makes obnoxious pop culture references and wears a faded Mew Mew Kissy Cutie shirt that's 2 sizes too big.

Undyne swaps with Papyrus. Undyne never joined the Royal Guard but aspires to but Papyrus is hesitant to let her join because she has trouble controlling her emotions. She's brash and quick to fight but Alphys insists that she must use puzzles on the human first to avoid damaging them too much. She doesn't really like puzzles so usually she has Alphys make them. She prefers to cook ravioli but also likes spaghetti. Papyrus was named Captain of the Royal Guard by his dad. He sometimes feels as if he's not the best man for the job as he prefers pacifism and thinks that some other guard are better fighters but still appreciates the attention he gets as the captain. He is always ready for a scrap and is eager to fight but not actually hurt his foe. He wants to be taken seriously but is just a bit too goofy. He eventually gets fed up of chasing you and initiates the battle. He's one of the more determined monsters.

Temmie swaps with the Annoying Dog. Temmie is a weird cat dog thing that likes stealing things and annoying Undyne. She's alot stronger than she looks. Annoying Dog is a "Cool Dude" who runs a shop for charity donations in Waterfall. He'll eat anything and everything. He speaks in a nineties style.

Snowdin Shopkeeper swaps with Gerson. Bunnie (as shes known as) is the former captain of the Royal Guard. She was known as the sword of justice and taught Papyrus everything he knows. She retired early to raise her family. Gerson is an old tycoon. He sells weaponry for the Royal Guard and personal friend of Undyne.

Nice Cream Guy swaps with Grillby. Nice Cream Guy serves ice cream Goofy Goobers style and his homemade chocolate syrup is a personal favorite of Alphys so much that she drink it without anything else. He's a bit in over his head though as his parlor only got popular recently after Alphys added heaters around Snowdin. Grillby runs a small food truck for fast food. He travels the underground looking for buisness and always knows to stock Sans up with ketchup and hotdogs as Sans always orders way too much.

Mad Dummy and Mew Mew swap with Mettaton. Mad Dummy is now called Maddaton and was given a body by Sans who used the scrap pieces from Alphys old machine and at first they only hade one form their Boxer form but Sans gives them an upgraded TRANS form after she comes out as trans and this form was an old mech Sans found in Alphys old lab. Mettaton is a ghost possessed a metal training dummy that is overprotective of their cousin but is less mad and more over dramatic. He later posseses a masculine anime robot that sans was making as a gift for Alphys but he threw out after he found out that she is into a different anime. He adores this body and thinks that it's the real him.

Muffet swaps with So Sorry. Muffet runs an art club for spiders and isnt a very good artist (she's still a kid though so lay off). She also has a large sweet tooth. So Sorry reveals his true name as Hatter. (Every swap I make with Muffet ends up being the Mad Hatter but this one makes the most sense because he has his association with hats). He likes to make food art. Its all in the presentation. But he needs funds to help continue his passion and was paid a high amount of money to exterminate you.

Burgerpants swaps with Bratty and Catty. B&C are the very grumpy employees of Madatton and aren't very good at their jobs. They take their anger out by being passive aggressive to their customers and pretending not to be able to do their job....though their act isn't too far from if they actually tried. BP is a cool dude hanging out in the alleyway who totally doesn't sell drugs (you're not a cop are you). He's unemployed an kinda a hippie. He refuses to "work for the man and be another cog in the machine"

Gaster swaps with Asgore. On the day of his children's deaths Asgore was no where to be found. It seems that when he tried to absorb one of Alphys attempts of an artificial soul and it destroyed his body. Now he's all alone.... Gaster is the king who took over after the disappearance of Asgore. He aims to steal seven human souls and use them to become a god. And he doesn't care what he has to do to achieve that goal.

Mother 3 Novelization - Part 1 Prologue

Master

And now for something completely different

Hello, all. This is a project I'm working on and it will go through multiple phases. Certainly not something I've done before. It's a novelization of the game MOTHER 3. I hope you enjoy the ride!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

My dear Reader,

The story you are about to experience will be told in a style you may not be used to nor that comfortable with. I assure you, it’s a story worth listening to, full of adventure, love, self discovery, betrayal, and redemption. It’s a story I hold close to my own heart.

This story comes from a video game titled MOTHER 3 and was only released in Japan on the Game Boy Advance in 2006. There are unofficial English translations of the game, but it still isn’t as accessible to the masses.

I, your narrator, will attempt to transpose MOTHER 3 into something of a novelization while holding onto the quirks and details of the game that I can. I have no affiliation with the writer, Shigesato Itoi, the director, Nobuyuki Inoue, the developers, Brownie Brown and HAL Laboratory, or the publisher, Nintendo. I am merely a fan who wishes to share a small bit of the creative genius that is MOTHER 3.

Sometimes the story will feel like just that, a story. Other times, it will feel as though I am guiding you on your own adventure that you experience through the lens of the characters you will come to know soon enough. The fourth wall is more of a curtain, as the game itself talks directly to the player and I will talk directly to you. It may be awkward occasionally but life often is.

MOTHER 3 is the third installment of the MOTHER series; the second, MOTHER 2, is known as EARTHBOUND outside of Japan. The first two games are related to MOTHER 3 but are not majorly consequential story-wise. They pull from the same universe but are set at different times. When necessary, I will offer the context needed to experience MOTHER 3 in its entirety.

Thank you for being here and I hope you enjoy the story.

Your Narrator, a frog

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Prologue  –

MOTHER 3 starts off by asking a few questions of the player. Since that becomes trickier in this medium, I will be using the given names and other default options. Except for the names of the characters in the story, these player inputs will be underlined:

Lucas – The younger twin brother. A gentle boy. Claus – The older twin brother. An energetic boy. Flint – The strong, kind, and dependable father. Hinawa – The beloved mother! Boney – The brave and smart dog. What’s your favorite homemade food? – Donuts What’s your favorite thing? – Love Is this okay? >Yes      No

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Welcome to the World of MOTHER 3

Tazmily Village was an isolated, self-sustaining community on Nowhere Islands. The villagers enjoyed living in their own slice of bliss with the village a mere stone’s throw away from the coast. The sandy beaches were a serene place to relax as the waves oscillated on the bank and the sun was never too much. Heading inland, modest houses built by the community’s hands stand comfortably, neither too extravagant nor poorly built. Each home is full of stories and love, the past generations’ lives etched into each plank of wood.

The residents of the village knew everything about each other, as there was nothing to hide nor any way to hide whatever could be hidden. No one would ever covet anything that wasn’t theirs, as all they had to do was ask. If you needed food, you could stop by the Yado Inn for lunch. If your couch broke, a visit to Flint would have the problem rectified in a matter of time. If you needed eggs, they were yours for the taking at Thomas’ Bazaar. The concept of commerce wasn’t prevalent in Tazmily Village, as everyone was accounted for and no one took more than they needed. Greed was a foreign concept in this community.

This story starts beyond the Sunshine Forest, in the mountains north of the village. The path leading up to this space was a winding but pleasant hike. Once the path unfolded through the trees, a two story cabin could be seen.

Our main character, who we will see grow throughout the story, is a little boy named Lucas. Lucas was asleep peacefully in one of the beds upstairs, blonde hair askew. A tiny bit a drool fell from his slightly opened mouth. It was a peaceful morning, the sun shining through the window and the sounds of the forest muted just enough to allow the growing boy to sleep in.

Loud knocking followed by a voice came from downstairs. “Lucas!! How long’re you gonna sleep?! Get up so we can play!” Claus, Lucas’ more active twin brother continued. “Get up already! The Dragos brought their babies over!” The redheaded twin grew more impatient with his sleepy brother, halfway out the door of the cabin before yelling once more. “They’re really cute!! Hurry up!”

Lucas stumbled out of bed and rubbed his sleepy eyes. His blue and white striped pajamas were a tiny bit too big for the boy and the hem of the pants dragged along the wooden floor. He slowly made his way downstairs to see his mother, Hinawa, sitting alone at the table alone, writing a letter. When she heard encroaching footsteps and creaks from the steps, she turned to see her drowsy son who had yet to get ready for the day. Hinawa couldn’t help but give a loving smile when Lucas’ classic bedhead paired with a tired yawn came into view. It was moments like this she cherished the most.

“Good morning, Mr. Sleepyhead Lucas. Claus has been up for a while, playing with the Dragos.”

The blonde child blinked slowly, allowing the information to seep into his tired mind. He watched as his mother returned to the paper on the table and was led by stumbling feet to the door, ready to join his brother in today’s adventure.

“Are you planning to play in your pajamas?” Hinawa asked. Not waiting for an answer, she continued, “Scoot upstairs and change your clothes.”

Lucas turned and, not minding the state of his appearance or the decorum of changing his attire into appropriate garb, shook his head in defiance.

“Then you can stay inside, in your pajamas, for the rest of your life.” His mother tried to keep the smile off her face, but it appeared anyway. She loved both of her sons equally, but Lucas was, by far, the baby. If possible, Hinawa would keep Lucas as a child forever, giving him all the love he deserved. She was happy Lucas had his brother, Claus, to look after him. The two were a perfect balance.

It’s at this point, dear Reader, that one wonders if everything could have been avoided had Lucas decided to stay inside in his pajamas. This inconsequential decision would alter the lives of Lucas, Hinawa, Claus, and the villagers of Tazmily Village, forever with no hope of turning back. A child stumbling thoughtlessly through a sliding glass door moment and the trajectory of his life veering off course.

It’s also possible the upcoming events were inevitable, regardless if Lucas changed out of his pajamas. Destiny, some might say.

We may never know.

Resigned, Lucas stumbled up stairs. He couldn’t resist his mother for long and Claus was waiting for him. His brother couldn’t have all the fun with the Dragos! His red and yellow striped shirt fit loosely over his chest and his worn down shorts had fringes on the edges. Lucas tied his shoes on tightly and styled his hair as best as he could. The boy wanted to be like his cooler brother, so he parted it exactly like Claus did. It wouldn’t occur to him until much later that his hair only mirrored the style of his brother’s and flicked upwards in the opposite direction. It emphasized their inverse personalities.

Lucas walked through the front door of the cabin, feeling the warm, summer air embrace him. The sun was shining and the grass waved in the gentle breeze.

“Oh, you’re up, sleepyhead.” Alec, the boys’ grandfather, greeted Lucas. His white, scruffy beard and thick rimmed glasses covered most of his face, but it was easy to read his happiness from his teasing tone. “Well, today’s the day you head back home. I’m gonna miss you guys.” Alec sighed and looked up at his home, thinking how quiet it will be once the three of them are gone and just how loud that silence is.

Lucas didn’t think much of going back home to Tazmily Village. He had his whole life ahead of him, after all, he was still a kid. The blonde boy was happy to see his father and dog again but he was sure he would return back to the cabin before long. He merely nodded at his grandfather and smiled a crooked smile, taking off to check on the animals.

This is another moment we must pause the story, dear Reader, as we have to discuss the animals of Nowhere Islands. If you ask anyone on what you might call “earth” if animals can talk, they would look at you crazy and say “of course not.” However, this is untrue. Every animal has a story to tell if you know how to listen. This might seem like a fascinating discovery, but it’s not as wondrous as it appears. Very few animals have useful things to say, as they do not experience the world as we do. We will still listen to what they say, though, as you never know when you will need the advice of a frog or directions from a chicken.

Lucas put a gentle hand on the cow next to the house. “Moo.” Translation: (All cows, no matter what they’re thinking, go, “Moo.” It’d be handy to remember that.)

As you can see, not the most useful of information, but we can hold onto that bit of advice for now. If you’re still unconvinced, we can listen to a few others.

Two pigs stood next to each other in their pin, greeting Lucas as he walked by. “Oink oink.” Translation: (What the pig next to me says worries me…)

In response, the other pig oinks. Translation: (Don’t worry about it.)

I rest my case.

Lucas continued on, making his way to his brother. In the clearing, the red headed boy stood at the ready in front of a very large looking dinosaur creature, with two others off to the side. These were the Dragos, while scary and tough looking, they were gentle creatures and enjoyed playing with the twins. The largest of the three Dragos was relaxing and observing the others with a lazy eye. The smallest Drago stood excitedly by his mother, waiting for his turn to play with the boy.

Claus, who hadn’t seen Lucas enter the clearing, ran at the second largest Drago, shoving her down. After a beat, in a dramatic fashion, the Drago fell to the ground, having lost the battle to the small child. Once she spotted Lucas, she stood back up.

Claus huffed and gasped, tired from having played with the Dragos for a while. “Whew, I’m beat. I’ve been play fighting with the Dragos all morning. You should play too, Lucas. Here, try ramming into a Drago.”

If it wasn’t apparent, dear Reader, this is a tutorial moment, where the player learns how to dash. Since dashing is not something you will have to know how to do to continue this story, I will give you a summary and the dialog.

As Lucas prepares himself to run at the mama Drago, the boys are interrupted by Alec.

“Claus! Lucas still doesn’t know how to ram into things yet,” Alec yells before meandering into the clearing. “Lucas! Try to imagine a thing called a B Button! And then hold that B Button for a second, then let go. Doing this will let you “dash”. And by using this “dash” ability, you can ram into that Drago there! Claus! Show him an example!”

Lucas steps out of the way for his brother. Claus backs up, I suppose he holds the B Button for a second, then let’s go, ramming into the Drago from before. The Drago falls over a second later.

“Yes! Just like that! Now it’s your turn, Lucas! Give it a try!”

Well, dear Reader, I guess we shall try to imagine this B Button, hold it, and let it go so Lucas can ram into the Drago. What is there to lose?

“You’ll never succeed with such a sullen look on your face. That holds true for anything. Just relax!”

I feel we could do without the snarky commentary, grandpa.

Lucas does the same as his brother, dashing into the Drago. The Drago falls over the same as before, in a dramatic fashion.

“The harder you run into them, the more the Dragos like it,” Claus mentions with a smile on his face. With the amount of practice he’s had with the Dragos, the red headed brother would know best.

Luckily, dear Reader, that is the end of the tutorial and—

“Move it! Outta the way! Make way for the great Mole Cricket!”

*sigh* Of course, the Mole Cricket is here to prove his strength and showcase the battle tutorial. Excuse the delay, dear Reader, it’s best to allow the Mole Cricket to complete his mission. Much more annoying otherwise.

The boys step out of the way as the Mole Cricket runs up towards the mama Drago. Scared by the yelling and the sudden movement, the baby Drago hops behind his mother. The papa Drago continues to observe, nonchalant in his resting. The mama Drago responds to her baby’s distress by entering a combat stance and growling, while the baby roars adorably.

“I can’t just sit idly by when I hear someone’s play-fighting! I’m gonna wipe the floor with all of you! Get in my way and you’re in for a world of pain!”

You encountered the Mole Cricket!

The battle system in MOTHER 3, is similar to other Game Boy Advance games, a turn based system where order depends on the speed of the character and the enemies. For each battle, you have the option to Bash, use your Goods, Guard, or attempt to Run. Experience Points (EP) and items are given at the end of the battle.

Something that sets MOTHER 3 apart is that during attacks, you can continue combos by pressing the Attack Button on the beat of the background music playing. Background music changes depending on the enemy and gets harder as the game continues. Each character also has a distinctive instrument that plays as the player hits the beat correctly.

Another unique feature is that damage is not taken all at once. Health Points (HP) show as a number and starts to run down after the attack lands. This means that if a character takes fatal damage, there is still time to heal them if the turns play out fast enough. Guarding slows down the HP counter as it continues to take the attack.

It does not take many attacks to take down the Mole Cricket.

“I see you have more of a spine than I thought. If you’d like, I could train you personally sometime. Next time we meet, it’ll be at the big Mole Cricket Hole Stadium! I look forward to seein’ you there! …Bro.”

The mole cricket scurries off, only to take more damage before disappearing from sight. Hinawa, with a concerned look on her face, approaches the group.

“I stepped on a mole cricket. I hope it’s all right… Lunch is ready, everyone. I made your favorite, boys. Donuts!”

“Ooh! Lunch, lunch! Donuts!!” Claus yells before taking off with his brother in tow towards the house.

“You too, Dad.” Hinawa turns with a smile on her face, heading back towards the house.

Alec stays behind, lingering in the clearing. “Well, then…”

This old man is going to continue to do my job for me, isn’t he?

“Listen folks… Here is how to “save”. Talk to frogs. This is how you “save”. It’s not too tedious or troublesome, so you should talk to frogs as often as you can. Plus, saving is absolutely free. Now then, it’s time for me to return to the story.

“Hey, wait for me! You saved me some Donuts too, I hope?!” Alec yells as he catches up with his family.

Inside the house, the boys and Hinawa sit around the table, eating Hinawa’s delicious Donuts. Alec prepares his own plate.

“What’s your favorite food, Mom?” Claus asks with a mouth full of food. “Oh? Donuts? Then your favorite is the same as ours? We make a good match!”

Hinawa smiled brightly, with love in her eyes. “After we’re done eating, we need to get ready to go home. We have to go through the forest to get back, so we’ll need to leave early.”

Alec turns towards his daughter. “Don’t be silly. I bet the kids could make it here on their own, it’s that safe. I bet even you could handle it, Lucas! Hahahaha!” Lucas made a noise, upset but unable to refute his grandfather.

Frowning, Hinawa gave a look of disappointment to her father before standing up, taking the note she had written earlier with her, and heading for the door.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Dear Flint, Just like you said they would, the children have been running around the mountains and fields tirelessly since the moment we arrived. Claus is as daring and full of energy as ever, while Lucas is still a bit coddled. But neither one seems tired of playing at all. My father seems sad to say goodbye to his grandchildren after seeing them for the first time in so long, but we should be home by this evening. I had forgotten how nice and refreshing the mountain air is. You’re always covered in the smell of sheep back in Tazmily Village, so I really wish you could have been here to take in this air The next time we visit, let’s ask one of our neighbors to tend to the sheep so we can all come up here as a family. Claus, Lucas, and I were always thinking about you. When we get home this evening, I’ll start cooking some of your favorite Donuts right away. With love, your dearest Hinawa

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Hinawa attaches the note to a bird that will deliver it to Flint before the group can make it back home. The bird flies south, its wings spreading in the sunlight. Hinawa steps out a bit further on the porch and watches the bird fly off for a moment, soaking in the peacefulness of the moment. Once satisfied, she turned back toward the door, ready to wrangle the twins into leaving.

With her hand on the doorknob, Hinawa stops, frozen. It’s as if every part of her instincts are telling her something is wrong, there is danger near. It’s a terrible feeling, one you get in your gut that spreads to your whole body within moments. From behind the house, she hears a strange noise, a melody that she’s never heard of, and it’s approaching quickly.

A circular shadow crosses in front of the house and the music becomes distorted as it vanishes deeper into the forest. Hinawa watched with cautious curiosity, a breeze blowing her hair back behind her. Nothing about it seemed immediately dangerous but it was certainly a cause for concern. Hinawa attempted to shake the uneasiness she felt and headed back inside.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

A story is a series of memories. Memories are remembered with other memories, and in turn become memories themselves. If you don’t take care to preserve your memories, you’ll forget them. So, please tell us frogs your memories of everything so far… That is what people refer to as “saving”. Now then. *hop* Save your game?

>Yes      No

Please be careful out there. Give my regards to the next frog you meet.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Notes:

Hello and welcome to my meager attempt at bringing you MOTHER 3. This will be different from anything I’ve done and I am open to feedback, so long as it’s constructive. I am but one girl trying her best. I hope you enjoy this project of mine and appreciate what an amazing story MOTHER 3 has to offer. I will be posting here and on AO3, so feel free to reach out on Tumblr if you have specific comments, questions, or concerns.

Game details that didn’t make the cut: If you dash into Hinawa, she will drop Nut Bread. If you check the mirror before changing, it says “The same bed-head as always.” If you check the mirror after you change, it says, “Lookin’ handsome.”

Homemade Organic Dog Treats: Wholesome, Natural Recipes for Your Furry Friend

If you’re a pet parent who cares about what goes into your dog’s belly, homemade organic dog treats are the perfect solution.

No Harmful Additives Organic homemade treats are free from harmful chemicals, artificial colors, and synthetic flavoring. This means your dog gets a healthier snack without unnecessary additives. 3.

Cost-Effective Organic store-bought treats can be expensive. Making them at home allows you to save money while ensuring top-quality ingredients.

Storage Tips for Homemade Dog Treats

Since homemade treats don’t contain preservatives, proper storage is key: - Store baked treats in an airtight container for up to 7 days. - Refrigerate treats for up to 3 weeks. - Freeze in a sealed bag for up to 3 months.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are homemade organic dog treats better than store-bought ones? Yes! They contain fresh, natural ingredients without artificial preservatives, making them a healthier choice for your pup. How often can I give my dog homemade treats? Moderation is key. Treats should make up no more than 10% of your dog’s daily calorie intake. Can I make these recipes grain-free? Absolutely! Substitute whole wheat flour with oat flour, almond flour, or coconut flour. Are all organic ingredients safe for dogs? Not all organic foods are dog-friendly. Avoid grapes, onions, garlic, and chocolate, as they are toxic to dogs.

How to take care dogs

Dogs are often considered a member of the family, and caring for them properly is essential for their happiness and well-being. Whether you’re a new dog owner or have had pets for years, it's important to understand the fundamental aspects of dog care. Here’s a comprehensive guide on how to take care of dogs, covering their basic needs, health, and emotional well-being.

1. Provide a Balanced Diet

A healthy diet is the foundation of your dog's health. The right nutrition helps maintain their energy levels, weight, and overall well-being.

Choose High-Quality Dog Food: Make sure to feed your dog a balanced, high-quality commercial food or homemade meals that meet their nutritional needs. Be mindful of their age (puppy, adult, senior), size, and breed when choosing food.

Portion Control: Overfeeding or underfeeding can lead to health problems. Follow the portion guidelines on your dog food packaging or consult your vet for recommendations on the right amount of food.

Fresh Water: Always ensure your dog has access to clean, fresh water. Hydration is essential for their health.

2. Regular Exercise

Exercise is important for both physical and mental stimulation. Dogs, depending on their breed and age, require different amounts of exercise.

Daily Walks: Taking your dog for a daily walk is a great way to keep them fit and give them the opportunity to explore their environment. Active breeds may require more frequent or longer walks.

Playtime: Interactive play is just as important as physical exercise. Play fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek with toys to engage your dog’s mind and body.

Mental Stimulation: In addition to physical activity, dogs need mental exercise. Puzzle toys, training sessions, and new experiences can provide the mental stimulation they need to stay sharp.

3. Grooming

Regular grooming is necessary to keep your dog clean, comfortable, and healthy.

Brushing: Depending on your dog’s coat type, brushing may be needed daily or weekly. Long-haired dogs require more frequent grooming to prevent mats and tangles.

Bathing: Bathe your dog when necessary, but avoid over-bathing as it can dry out their skin. Use a dog-specific shampoo to ensure it’s gentle on their skin.

Nail Clipping and Ear Care: Regularly trim your dog’s nails to prevent discomfort. Clean their ears as needed to prevent infections, especially in breeds with floppy ears.

4. Routine Veterinary Care

Regular veterinary visits are essential for maintaining your dog’s health and catching potential issues early.

Annual Check-ups: Schedule regular check-ups with your veterinarian to monitor your dog’s health and address any concerns.

Vaccinations: Keep up with your dog’s vaccination schedule to protect them from serious illnesses.

Flea, Tick, and Heartworm Prevention: Use flea and tick preventatives, and ensure your dog is on a heartworm prevention regimen as prescribed by your vet.

5. Training and Socialization

Training and socialization are key aspects of dog care that ensure a well-behaved and confident pet.

Basic Training: Teach your dog basic commands like “sit,” “stay,” and “come.” This helps with obedience and safety.

Positive Reinforcement: Use positive reinforcement techniques, such as treats or praise, to encourage desired behaviors.

Socialization: Expose your dog to different environments, people, and other animals early on. This helps them become well-adjusted and less likely to develop fear or aggression.

6. Provide a Safe and Comfortable Environment

Your dog’s living environment plays a significant role in their comfort and safety.

Sleeping Area: Provide a comfortable, quiet spot for your dog to sleep, such as a soft bed or crate. This should be a peaceful place where they can rest without disturbances.

Toys and Chews: Offer a variety of toys to keep your dog entertained and engaged. Chew toys can also help promote dental health.

Safety: Make sure your home is dog-proofed to prevent accidents. Keep hazardous substances, like cleaning products and certain foods, out of your dog’s reach.

7. Mental and Emotional Well-being

Dogs are social animals and need mental and emotional care to stay happy.

Attention and Affection: Dogs crave love and attention from their owners. Spend quality time with your dog to strengthen your bond.

Separation Anxiety: If your dog experiences separation anxiety when left alone, consider crate training or providing puzzle toys to distract them. Gradually increase the time they spend alone to help them adjust.

Create a Routine: Dogs thrive on consistency. Try to feed, walk, and train your dog at the same times each day to help them feel secure.

Conclusion

Taking care of a dog is a rewarding and fulfilling responsibility that requires time, attention, and love. By providing a balanced diet, regular exercise, proper grooming, routine veterinary care, and mental stimulation, you can ensure that your dog leads a happy and healthy life. Remember, dogs are not just pets—they are family members, and they deserve the best care you can offer.

By following these guidelines, you’ll not only ensure your dog’s physical health but also contribute to their emotional and psychological well-being, making them an even more cherished companion.

Best Food for Senior Dogs- A Guide to Keep Your Furry Friend Healthy and Happy

As dogs age, their nutritional needs change significantly. Senior dogs, typically classified as those aged seven years and older, require a diet tailored to their slowing metabolism, potential health issues, and reduced activity levels. Providing the Best Food For Senior Dog can enhance their quality of life and keep them feeling young at heart.

Key Nutritional Needs of Senior Dogs

Protein for Muscle Maintenance Aging dogs can experience muscle loss, making high-quality protein essential in their diet. Look for foods with lean protein sources like chicken, turkey, or fish. These proteins support muscle maintenance without straining the kidneys, which can become sensitive as dogs age.

Lower Calories Senior dogs are often less active, leading to a reduced caloric requirement. Foods designed for older dogs typically have fewer calories to prevent weight gain, which can exacerbate joint problems and other age-related health concerns.

Healthy Fats for Coat and Skin Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are vital for maintaining a shiny coat and healthy skin. Additionally, omega-3s have anti-inflammatory properties that can alleviate joint pain and arthritis, common in senior dogs.

Fiber for Digestive Health Older dogs may experience slower digestion. Fiber-rich foods help regulate bowel movements and promote overall gut health. Ingredients like sweet potatoes, pumpkin, and brown rice are excellent natural fiber sources.

Joint Support with Glucosamine and Chondroitin Joint health is a significant concern for senior dogs. Many senior-specific dog foods include supplements like glucosamine and chondroitin to support cartilage health and improve mobility.

Antioxidants for Immune Support Aging dogs benefit from antioxidants like vitamins C and E, which combat oxidative stress and bolster the immune system. Fruits like blueberries and vegetables like spinach can be great additions to their diet.

Types of Best Food For Senior Dog

Commercial Senior Dog Food Many reputable brands offer senior dog food formulas designed to meet older dogs' unique nutritional needs. Look for options labeled “senior” or “mature” and ensure they meet AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) standards.

Homemade Diets For a more personalized approach, consider preparing homemade meals for your senior dog. Incorporate lean proteins, whole grains, and steamed vegetables. Always consult your vet or a canine nutritionist to ensure the diet is balanced.

Wet Food vs. Dry Food Wet food can be easier to chew for dogs with dental issues, while dry kibble may help reduce tartar buildup. Combining both types may offer the best of both worlds.

Prescription Diets If your senior dog has specific health concerns such as kidney disease, diabetes, or arthritis, your vet might recommend a prescription diet tailored to their condition.

Foods to Avoid

Certain foods can be harmful to senior dogs and should be avoided:

High-fat foods that may lead to obesity or pancreatitis.

Foods with excessive sodium, which can exacerbate heart conditions.

Artificial additives and preservatives.

Toxic foods like chocolate, grapes, onions, and garlic.

Tips for Feeding Your Senior Dog

Portion Control: Monitor their weight and adjust portions accordingly. Overfeeding can lead to obesity, while underfeeding may cause malnourishment.

Frequent, Smaller Meals: Split their daily food into smaller, more frequent meals to aid digestion and maintain energy levels.

Hydration: Ensure they have access to fresh water, as dehydration can worsen health issues.

Conclusion

Feeding your senior dog a balanced diet tailored to their needs can significantly impact their overall health and well-being. Whether you opt for commercial food, homemade meals, or a mix of both, prioritize high-quality ingredients and consult your vet to ensure your furry friend enjoys their golden years to the fullest.
