#i dont think she asks about lime. she doesnt want to know

[musubiki]

Since sulluvan visits her during the time skip, do they become friends at all?

i would imagine they do!!!! its kind of a weirdly developed friendship, the kind where sulluvan keeps bothering her about marrying him, and mochi finds it annoying but she cant completely cut him out because she needs to maintain a good working relationship, and all their run-ins do lead to a "friendship"

though they dont hang out like mochi would with coco/lime/oscar/taffy. if they were ever to go out anywhere, it would be a "date" (by sulluvans fault), and otherwise its him hanging around the cat cafe (pre-timeskip)/the bookshop (post-timeskip), with mochi just kind of letting him hang out

but the timeskip period is kind of uh.....special? its a time where mochi is particularly alone and its a time for her to navigate being a full-fledged witch, really also a time to get more confident in who she is and what she can do, and the only companionship she really gets besides pom and the merchant (though its very npc-like) is sulluvan coming to see her, bringing her little gifts, they play chess or little board games or something when she has downtime (he insists. she actually cant get rid of him, and she doesnt have anyone to hang out with, so she obliges)

(lime is absolutely livid when he finds out about this. "Oh so this asshole can see you all he wants, but I have to bend over backwards trying to find you?? I see how it is." kind of thing)

im so fucking normal about josh i swear, i SWEARRRRRR

---

You came home early today. The smile on your face is stretched thin, but you press a bouquet of yellow flowers into my hands. “What for?” I ask you. You don’t reply.

I put the flowers into a vase, place them on the dining table. ‘They’re beautiful,’ I think. I try to ignore the feeling that they wilt every single time I look at them.

You tell me, “Take them down, It's been weeks.” I feel bad for them. for their wilting and falling petals.

I take them and press them in between the pages of a book, leave it up on a shelf. The vase goes in the sink. You don’t notice its absence.

You find the petals inside the book by their yellow. “Why did you keep them?” I explain, “I felt bad for them, they didn’t deserve to be thrown out.” You laugh and toss them in the trash.

I rescue as many of the petals as I can, when you’re not looking. They’re dry and falling apart by now, but I hold them together as best I can. I put them in the back of my phone case.

You never really see me in the first place, so you never learn about my small act of defiance. They’re still pretty to me, even in their brokenness. My mind never lingers on why you brought them in the first place; an apology for something that I never knew about.

(I’m pouring them out into your (her) grave before long, wishing that it were enough to cover the crisp blue flowers.)

LIME WHEN. LIMEEEEE I’M. I CAN’T OUGHHHH

NO BUT YOU’RE RIGHT SHE WOULD BUY HIM FLOWERS. Since she stayed over at Janette’s- she would return home early OH MY GOD!!! LIME YOU GET THEM LIKE NOBODY ELSE FRFR ALSO THE LAST PART. SHAKING YOU BY THE SHOULDERS AUDGDJFHKS

like. the timeline. her getting the flowers-and then him pressing them in a book and putting them in his phone casesrjehdjsgdofhfhd LIMEEEE

a side story i never finished

regarding violet, one of luca's younger sisters, and some ocs i havent mentioned before. warnings and such under the cut

as a note: this has been unedited for...a while. it's not up to my current standard, but i am interested in maybe revamping it at some point.

warnings: adult dude making bad decisions regarding a minor, but not in a sexual way? its not really about him, though, it's about violet, and her wanting to impress this older guy and thinking "hm, that's questionable, but it's probably fine!" and. it doesnt really have an ending...but i liked it enough to feel it was worth posting here.

again: there is no sexual content, i dont write about minors like that, thats not what the point is here. this does not include and is not about sexual assault or anything of the sort. it is about bad decisions, all around. reminder: harley is the adult in this scenario.

there is a make out scene but its not descriptive and its not meant to be like, gratifying, or sexy, it's more meant to illustrate that violet is experiencing something new and she's happy in that moment. it doesnt change the overarching intention of the narrative. things may seem okay at first but if you want my opinion, harley is more than old enough to know he's being nasty (and, for lack of a better word, stupid), and he still does everything here.

violet/seb/isabelle are 16, luca/marion are 18, harley is 20

harley's slimy af sorry

Seb—short for Sebastion—hasn’t been their friend for too long, but he has quickly managed to prove himself a worthy third co-conspirator in their deeds. He’s sarcastic, ironic, and he and Isabelle specifically hit it off big time.

Violet’s also his friend—but she knows her sister likes Seb more than that. She keeps telling her to go for it, but Izzy keeps making excuses. 

Now, Violet isn’t interested in Seb, per se, but...well. 

Sebastian has a brother.

A very attractive brother. And he’s more than that—he’s funny, and he’s cool, and he makes Violet feel all fluttery inside. His name is Harley. He’s four older than them—twenty—but still.

Anyway, Violet stayed after school today to get some help from a teacher, and then she finally gets to Seb’s, where the three of them had agreed to meet. Once Seb’s mom lets her in, Violet heads upstairs to his room.

She opens the door soundlessly, and she’s met with the sight of her twin and their mutual best friend sitting on the floor, kissing as they ignore their homework. Violet stares at them for a moment before, just as soundlessly, shutting the door and turning around before she heads back downstairs. 

Somebody owes her ten bucks.

As Violet heads for the front door, it opens, and Harley appears in front of her. He’s added lime green highlights to his dark brown hair.

“Oh! You’re...Violet, right?” he asks. Violet feels her heart start beating a little harder. 

He got which twin she was right!!

“Y-yeah, that’s me.” Violet says.

“You gotta go somewhere?” Harley asks, “Your sister isn’t with you.”

“Oh, no, um...she’s...they’re upstairs, and...um... Well, everyone already knew it was going to happen, anyway...” Violet says, her cheeks warming a little.

“Oh. Oh.” Harley says, “Damn...get it, little bro…” 

Violet snorts. “They got it.” she says. Harley laughs.

He goes quiet for a moment, seeming to be thinking. He’s sort of in Violet’s way, so she just sort of stands there and waits, feeling a bit awkward.

“Since they’re up there having their own fun, we should have some of our own. What do you say we drive uptown?” Harley asks.

A chance to be with the guy she likes??

“Okay.” Violet says easily. Harley takes her hand and leads her to his car, which is parked behind his mom’s in the garage. They get in, and Harley starts driving.

They have a nice time exploring everything there is to see, uptown. It’s especially fun to see Harley’s view of things—Violet finds herself smiling and laughing a lot. 

The sun starts to set.

“How about some dinner?” Harley asks. Violet accepts, and they sit down in a restaurant where they eat dinner. She’s sure to send a group text to her family letting them know she’s okay, but won’t be eating with them. She notices her phone is only at 3%—she doesn’t have her charger, either. She locks it and puts it away to conserve the battery.

Once they’ve eaten, they get back in the car. Violet expects Harley to drive her home, now—but he doesn’t go in that direction.

“I’m gonna have you meet some of my friends.” he says. Violet wants to say that she really needs to get home—she feels a little uneasy. 

But Harley knows what he’s doing, surely, and it’s a Friday night! 

It’s fine...right?

They’re driving for a while, talking about various things and listening to music. Finally, they arrive at some house. There are cars parked outside and music audible from the inside.

Harley leads Violet inside, where a party is taking place. There are tons of people, all standing around with red cups in their hands, with music blasting.

A brown-haired man with a red-haired girl on his arm approaches them.

“Yo, Harley! Who’s the girl?” The man asks.

“Charlie, Lyra, this is Violet. Violet, this is Charlie and Lyra, my friends from school.” Harley says.

“N-nice to meet you…” Violet says, feeling a little shy. She’s starting to get a faint feeling that she wishes Isabelle was there. 

“...whoa, is she a kid?” Lyra asks.

“So? She’s 16. She can handle this kind of thing.” Harley says, “Right, Vi?”

He called her Vi!

“Y-yeah! It’s cool. I’ve been to parties like this…”

At least, ones held by other kids… she thinks.

Harley takes her around, introducing her until he’s called into another room. She follows him, and finds some guy doing shots at the bar. He immediately looks at Harley and points at him before slamming down the empty shot glass he had in his other hand.

“You and me. Right now.” The guy says.

“Fuck yeah.” Harley says. Violet feels uneasy...should he be drinking if he’s going to be driving them home?

She stays quiet. Harley’s an adult, he knows what he can handle.

It’s fine.

She watches as a crowd gathers, and they drink. It’s vodka, of course—there are five lined up for them each.

“You trying to get me drunk, Beanie?” Harley asks.

“That depends on you.” Beanie says.

Violet watches as they drink. Harley comes out the victor, appearing just slightly impaired.

After, he pours Violet and himself cups of punch…"punch".

“Think you can handle big boy juice?” Harley asks.

“Of course.” Violet says, just a little hesitantly. She takes a sip and nearly spits it out.

She knows that if her Mother, Father, or Luca could see her, they would be so disappointed.

She sort of follows Harley around until she feels her phone ring. When it does, she sees that it’s already past midnight. Her curfew is at 11pm on Fridays.

Just as she goes to accept the call, her phone does dark, shutting itself off. She remembers it only had 3% battery left...it must not have been enough.

She finally works up the courage to get Harley’s attention, tugging on his sleeve.

“What’s up?” He asks.

“I need to get home. It’s past curfew and my family is probably getting worried. Someone tried to call me, but my phone died.” Violet says.

“Ah, we wouldn’t want anyone to think I kidnapped you or something...alright, give me a few minutes and we’ll hit the road.” Harley says, “Stay here.”

Violet sits on the couch, and watches Harley walk off into another room.

An hour passes. At least, it feels like an hour. She finally gets up and starts looking for him, and she finds him...at the bar.

“I’ll win next time.” Harley says, slurring a little.

This makes Violet super nervous. She goes up to him.

“Harley, can you still drive like this?” She asks. She’s panicking a little.

“I doubt a single person in this house is fit to drive. Let him sleep it off for a while.” Lyra says, “C’mon big boy, let’s take a nap.”

Violet follows them upstairs, and Harley gets right in bed.

“Violet.” He says, “C’mere. Lay down with me.” 

Violet can’t find it in herself to refuse. She leaves a good gap between them—but Harley takes her hand.

“You’re seriously one of the prettiest girls I’ve ever seen.” He says, obviously somewhat intoxicated. Violet blushes.

Harley falls asleep. And so does Violet, eventually.

When Violet wakes up, she’s warm. And something warm is around her. She opens her eyes to see Harley, and finds that he’s got his arms around her. 

She breaks out of them just enough to check the time. 4:27am.

She’s so fucked.

Violet sighs, laying back down. Harley stirs, then, and opens his eyes, looking right into hers. She feels her face warm. He puts a hand on her cheek, and she lets him kiss her. Her heart’s pounding in her chest.

“Is that ok?” Harley asks. Violet hesitates before nodding.

So he kisses her again. And again. And…

She’s never made out with anybody, really, but it’s making her feel warm and tingly. She likes it, she thinks.

And then she remembers the time, and pulls away.

“I really need to get home, Harley. My family doesn’t know where I am.” Violet says.

“Then come with me, my Princess, and I will return you to your door.” Harley says smoothly.

Harley finally drives her home, where there are lights still on. Harley walks Violet up to the door, which opens as they approach. 

Luca, their Mom, and Marion step out, and Luca is obviously angry, which immediately makes Violet feel terrible. Luca isn’t the angry type.

“Are you the reason my little sister has been missing all night?” Luca asks

“She’s old enough to handle herself.” Harley says, scoffing.

“Have you—have you been drinking?” Luca asks, “What the fuck is wrong with you?”

“Excuse me?” Harley says.

“Did he touch you?” Luca asks Violet. 

“Nothing happened that I couldn’t handle.” She says.

Luca nods, seeming to accept this, and then very suddenly punches Harley in the face, making those around him gasp.

“You piece of shit.” Luca says, “She’s 16!”

“Holy shit, Luca.” Marion says. He’s only seen Luca this upset on very specific occasions.

“What’s the difference between us and you and Marion?!” Violet demands.

“Me and Marion are the same age! We’re both adults!” Luca says, “You’re not legal, Violet!”

“Okay, okay! That’s enough!” Eve says, “Violet, sweetie, come inside and go to bed. We can talk more about this tomorrow, when your father comes home from his conference.” 

Eve takes Violet inside, but Luca hasn’t backed off yet.

“If I ever find you near my sister again, I swear to god, I will—” Luca starts, but Marion cuts him off.

“My boyfriend has been worried sick all night because you decided you wanted to fuck around with someone too young for you.” He says, “Grow up.”

Inside, Eve gently leads Violet to the stairs.

“Mom, I didn’t—“ Violet starts, but her mother holds up a hand.

“We’ll worry about that tomorrow. Go get some sleep. I’ll deal with your brother.” Eve says.

“…okay.” Violet says.

She heads upstairs and quietly opens the door to her and Isabelle’s room. Isabelle herself is asleep in her bed with her phone in her hand.

Violet feels awful when she sees that she’s the one Izzy had been texting.

Violet quietly changes into a night shirt and finally plugs her phone in before going to bed.

yee.

does what i explained earlier make sense after all that?

anyway i had plans but i wasnt sure how to execute them. ill probably use this as a basis for something later but it needs...a lot of work. for one, why am i so bad at using adjectives and stuff?? thats a big critique i have regarding a lot of my work...

that's all for now!

[awellboiledicicle]

I also keep imagining the like. Family traditions on top of cultural traditions influencing what gifts they give their partner.

Like the more rural people are very focused on the whole "providing evidence that I can help provide for us and shelter us" thing. People from the big cities are probably more about flaunting their wealth and status that could be yours.

So Nai'o and Kenyatta, for example would have approached courting from wildly different levels and Nai'o just has a bunch of nice things in his room that he swears Auni to secrecy about. Kenyatta has obtained more veggies than Nai'o should probably have given away. Eshe knows and is mortified. Kenli thinks its sweet.

Jel probably has seven layers of "if I don't give gifts that reflect my family I'm not worthy of bringing someone into it". Likewise he's well aware a lot of practical skills outside crafting garments are beyond him.

Hassain has a calander once he processes that he's feeling these things again. And that the feelings might be returned. Theres furs, theres dried fish and fresh forage. Theres bags of seeds and whittled combs and a good skinning knife. He even buckles down and forges a cooking knife for them. He goes through ten versions before he's happy with it. Each gift is given at different times of day, on specific days, leading up to Courting Season proper. This is complicated if he's courting a human, because dragon knows where they're at most the time. But every gift the other person accepts makes him anxious they won't take the next entirely because he's dangerously happy they took the previous.

Tish has been working on a intricately carved bedroom set for the last 5 years. In preparation for whenever/if ever she wants to be with someone. There are fancy inlays on the wardrobe and scrollwork on the headboard. He bedside table has a depressed notch sized for a lantern so you dont knock it over when reading by candle light. Theres a chest of drawers with secret compartments for jewlery.

Hodari would be a year behind when he realizes he wants this. Because he'd have to emotionally process his feelings about his late wife and make sure his daughter was okay with a new addition vs someone just keeping him company. But then its robustly practical gifts. Ore and tools and the odd gemstone that he thinks they'll like. Its not a glamorous life he can offer but it could be a happy one.

Reth has about five panic attacks about it. Because getting involved with him is already a dicey proposition, let alone being serious enough to start Courting officially over it. Sure he can flirt and have flings, but that's not settling down levels. That's not "I'm trying myself to you forever" level. Not to mention traditionally he should be making them things. Furniture and utensils and decorations for a home he's promising them. And he's well aware hes shit at traditional things. Hes also deeply convinced he cant just give food because he already gives them food. But he cant afford to buy other gifts and short of begging Tish for help he can't make something... what ends up happening is he shows up with flowers and asks if that can be enough, if you'll take him.

Jina is mortified. Not because she doesn't want a relationship-- she does, very badly by the time she considers Courting Season at all--but because she's on a research expedition. She literally has nothing on her to give. This stress ends up resulting in Hekla sending dozens of humans on scavenger hunts to get her things. Because Hekla doesnt lime Jina stressed. Jina is promptly scandalized to hell and back.

I imagine poly situations are similar to an extent-- the goal is to at least befriend/get along with the other partner(s) of your initial interest. A fully fluid polycule situation vs a hinge is preferred for social cohesion but it's up to the situation.

The pins are essentially "we're committed and care for one another". Going steady v engagement, I'd imagine. I havent gotten to the pin talk in game yet so I'm spitballing.

Thoughts

Me: (taking a break at work)

My brain: What if the majiri have mating seasons. It's just another cycle thing about them.

Me: why

My brain: imagine the weeks beforehand are customarily for courting and anything outside of that is considered just kinda flirting. But if someone gives you stuff in that time it's basically saying "I very much want to be serious about this". And the actual season is mostly understood to be for weddings, spending time together, and trying to have kids if you want them.

Me: I have been zoned out for five mins pls I have paperwork

My brain: I imagine Hassain would have like five layers of traditional gifts to give. Hesitantly, because being serious is scary after... well. Reth meanwhile is pretty sure giving food wont cut it, because he always gives food. He's begging Jel and Tish to help him. Jel meanwhile is convinced that if he doesnt make a good enough house outfit his prospective partner will leave in disgust. Tish has spent three months on a bedroom set. There's carvings on all the wood. Hodari wouldn't want to admit to himself that he's been squirreling away an array of gemstones; he wants to give them to someone special but its Complicated.

Me: pls I need to scan

My brain: no, only fanfic plotting

[maxmagic]

In a nightly delirium, me and my friend created this hellish crossover no body asked for. It started as a joke but quickly spiraled into just ... us fully giving the Strawhat crew full classpects and (lazy) Alternian names !!! Just a little brainstorm experiment 

Idk does this hurt more the Homestuck or One piece audience... This definitely has been done before 

BIG Rambles and explanations below (SPOILERS FOR ONE PIECE) 

- SO most of these we based on their canon birthdays, except for Robin, Franky and Jinbei for variety and like... How can I not make Jinbei a violet given he is a fish man 

Luffy: 

-Literally both Heir and Breath fit Luffy so well, given how much change he causes in others and the situation around him. Heir means “a person who inherits” and in the Homestuck world they create and bring change via their aspect, and he really does create change. He values freedom and plus the sign of “The Liberated” really fits if you know what recently developed in the manga ;)

-I think even in alternia he would be the same, even though I dont think Alternia has pirates ( maybe there are space pirates). So lets say he wants to rule as a Space fleet captain but doesnt want it to be under the Condesce so he intentionally/unintentionally starts a revolution. 

- Also he very much wouldnt care about the Hemospectrum, like the carefree lad he is

Zoro :

-Another one that wasnt very hard to fit into. Hes a fighter, he had a kinda difficult life and is generally very action oriented which fits very much into Time-bound. The Knight aspect was put in more for his connection with Luffy and how he vowed to always be by his side, but he also generally protects his friends a lot. Hes very much a servant in his own goal of becoming the strongest swordsman. But ,especially in the earlier arcs, Zoro was always dealt with heavy punches and wounds, yet he still fought through them and pushed foward.

- Again would be very similar to how he is in the series, just maybe like is in an underground fighting rink or something to look for strong players

Nami: - Blood seems like an odd fit for Nami in particular, but it was chosen mostly cuz its an aspect tied to connection and Nami is a very sneaky individual. She is a thief and knows how to swindle ppl in her favor but she did it for her village, her closest bond at the time. Plus Blood-bound are usually seen as spiritual leaders, which I think fits her as the teams navigator. The thief class is mostly there for her thieving nature

- Also you'll notice that some of these guys are pretending to be some other blood casts for story reasons. For Nami specifically, since Lime bloods in homestuck canon are dead, lets say she hides as a teal so she doesnt get killed. Plus it wouldnt be beyond her to have a few different colored outfits to blend in the higher casts so she can steal stuff better

Usopp: 

-Of course this giant ass liar would pretend hes a higher cast then he actually is. Honestly Id think he would lie he is a full violet, but he doesnt have fins, so lets make a stretch he lies about being an olive cuz hes being more realistic. He went to the extend of getting clothes from a dead olive that has blood so he can like “prove hes really an olive (the clothes clearly dont fit). Plus id assume he would be very scared of high bloods, so olives (being the most secluded) would be something he likes 

- For his classpect, Hope bounds are kinda liars, which fits him perfectly. Theyre also very imaginitive and dreamers. Usopp wants to be this great warrior, but he knows he doesnt really have the means to be, so he fakes it. He spins himself a false hope narrative with his tall tales. But Hope-bounds are also driven to be heroes and help. Despite being scared and cowardly, Usopp always manages to get up and help his friends in times of crisis, making hope for himself and sometimes others, thus his Page class. 

Sanji: - Ohohohoho this one was super fucking fun. Other then the obvious, Heart bounds are driven by their passions and ideals and so is Sanji. He is willing to defend them at all times and is proud of them. He isnt willing to hide from it. Now the prince would be a little contradictory for everything ive mentioned about Sanji, but it was chosen mostly for his past and how he had to destroy his princely title to become who he wanted to be. Plus he literally is a prince so it had to be done

- By his own birthday he would be a Fuscia, and in this hypothetical universe Ive made the executive decision that the Condesces epmire got so big she couldnt rule over it all by herself so she genetically engendered 5 fuscia kids (Sanji and his siblinds) to help her rule, but obviously her ran from it.  He hides a Bronze so he could persue his cooking passions

Chopper: 

-Another one that isnt too hard, he is a doctor and a healer so he got the most healer classpect combo. 

- sorry my child you were just simple

Robin:

- She is a Violet by her birthday, but idk it just didnt really fit her personality and general vibe, so she became a Jade for her more motherly mature role in the crew all round. Plus her wanting to live and escape her situation would fit a jade who doesnt want to be be in the brooding caverns

- One more not too complicated classpect. Light- bounds are knowledge seekers and schoolars, which fits Robin well. She is willing to risk everything for the percuit of truth and knowledge. Theyre also kinda mischievous and rule breakers, which i believe Robin has a bit of. Mages are ppl who gains knowledge, which just reiterates what i said 

Franky:

- another changed blood cast, only cuz hed be a fuscia and I simply cant see Franky as one.

-He was one of the most difficult to nail down, but I think we did him justice. Now Void seems kinda unfitting for the flashy Franky, but Void was chosen for the fact that Franky is kind of a confusion with his limitless cyborg gadgets. Plus Equius is a void player and he is an engineer so might as well . The Sylph also doesnt seem like the most obvious fit but he kinda is a healer of the Thousand Sunny who he made and maintains, along with other weapons and machinery and even his own body.

Brook: 

- His classpect is much more surface level. Space-bounds connected to the arts and Brook is a musician so its a fit. Plus they tend to rescycle things and make them into something new, which kinda goes in line with Brook kinda getting a new life. Maid goes also in line with his musicalness, but also both the Maid players in Homestuck are kinda connected to death

Jinbei:

-Another one that got changed because he just had to be a violet. He is always a fish man its just how it is

- Another one that was difficult, cuz Jinbei is relatively new and doesnt have the mountains of screentime as the rest,  so his classpect was done a little loosely. Rage players are there for truth and justice, but theyre also bring chaos an confusion. This doesnt fit in with Jinbei until you add the prince title, a destroyer class. In my mind this causes a contrast that kinda fits Jinbeis wish for order and stability. He wants to do anything for the people hes close to. Idk his im kinda mulled over cuz I dont know him too well

These were my personal interpretations, feel free to share yours

[aliceyabusamesoneball]

Sorry if this seems badly worded in advance. But in the hypothetical situation Rouge would have to wear clothes frequently associated with lighter colours, ex. a wedding dress, would she? Or would she opt for a darker coloured variant of the same thing?

I got to thinking about this, in part, based of off the post with Lime wearing a wedding dress., and how you thought she most likely wouldn't wear that sort of thing. Also because she is seen wearing darker tones, and it reminded me of the previous point.

Especially since, from what i've found, she only has ever been drawn in lighter tones by IZ twice. Here, and here. But in both cases it is only partially.

And when i partially, in case of the former, it should be pretty self-explanatory. But in case the latter, it would be because 1) it's part of a whole artwork, with Rouge only being a small part of, literally. And 2) in lieu of part 1, it feel cohesive to that particular art piece.

Then again, it would be hard to judge as a whole since she has so little artwork. Apologizes for my lengthy input, just thinking, i suppose.

So TLDR; would Rouge wear lighter coloured clothing if need be?

THIS ASK IS SO INTERESTING THANK YOU ANON.. im not too sure either because she doesnt have much artwork like you mentioned but i dont really think she would, she'd probably go for a darker version because that's what she typically wears and she doesn't seem like the type to go outside a certain style (like the other demons do), hers seems more fixed if that makes sense?? she has a color palette that she seems to want to stick to and pastels dont really seem to fit in there

the first example you gave (this one) has very little lighter colors (the gray-ish on her umm. uh. IDK HOW ELSE TO SAY THIS. HER BOOBS and maybe you could count the gold bow accents) and the darker colors are more prominent + this was in the photobooth so she didn't even pick this herself, so even though i think she likes it (? i can't remember the dialogue from the scene anymore </3 but it fits her so) i dont think shed opt for lighter colors normally because that shade of deep red and also black is really really prominent in her wardrobe

for this second one i think youre right! it was probably just to fit in with the art piece's color scheme and also the other demons because theyre wearing the same color.. also her normal color scheme (red + black) probably wouldve contrasted with everything and i think the human characters are meant to stand out rather than the demons so they all have the same color palette? maybe? but yeah this color doesnt really suit her and i would say she doesnt look very happy in this picture but she almost never does with the human characters besides noel so 😭

OVERALL.. i dont think she would, since she's a high-ranking demon and really powerful i dont know if theres ever a situation where she would HAVE to wear light colored clothes because nobody can force her and shed just be like oh do you dare to question my power or something.. i think in a situation where she would have to wear a wedding dress or something like that she would opt for one with darker colors like you said, shed probably wear a black wedding dress or just a really fancy red one 🙏 SNYWAYS THANK YOU ANON YOU TALK SO SCHOLARLY... (GOOD THING)

!!!List of papyrus things!!!

(Update 3! mini update.)

For anyone who needs more info on the guy! Since you usually dont see alot of info about him!

A list of stuff thats just papyrus's tid bits i've collected overtime!

(Disclaimer: some things can be taken off of memory, though I did search most of the stuff up, so you dont have to worry too much. But if your feeling unsure, search it up! And correct me while your at it.)

his room doesn't play/have music.

(If you have reunited playing at enter his room, it'll disappear forever. Untill you go back and let it play again. Even without reunited, a song that plays no matter what room your in, doesn't play any music.)

Never takes off his battle body.

(According to sans, he only takes it off if he has no other choice too. Otherwise he'll just put clothes ontop of it, or just repaints it if needed. He does how ever, change his pants but never takes off the top.)

the minute "royal gaurd " is out of the picture, he's got nothing.

(It was the one thing he worked up for. When the royal gaurd disbands He says he "working hard on doing absolutely nothing". Then again this can be interpreted as papyrus does say he is working on something, despite not being a royal gaurd yet.)

He lies. (And can manipulate)

(Though he is really bad at lying, he seems to manipulate just fine, though its usually not out of malice. He gets undyne to befreind you by mentioning "challenge", which is a weakness of hers, since she never can turn down a challenge. And has lied about floweys name to her to. Has lied to sans or atleast mislead him about the things he knows about. Pretended he didn't know what a lab was during a call in hotland, but if you call him when sans isn't there, papyrus mentions the lab as if it was common knowledge instead of saying "Labrador-y?" As if he had no idea.)

Changes up his attacks

( if you get captured a few times, you see variation in his attacks. If you do it right, you can get him too skip half of his entire attack.)

Calls his own puzzles "Awful"

(This happens after battling papyrus, he says "WHO KNEW THAT ALL I NEEDED TO MAKE PALS... WAS TO GIVE PEOPLE AWFUL PUZZLES AND THEN FIGHT THEM??" This could be interpreted in many ways.)

Spikes, fire, traps, fencless bridges: are all safe for children, according to papyrus.

("EACH AREA HAS TO HAVE A PRECARIOUS BRIDGE" -bridge likely to collapse, dangerous. "ITS MANDATED BY THE GOVERNMENT. OF COURSE KING FLUFFYBOY WANTS TO UNMANDATE IT SAFER." "WHY?! WONT HE THINK OF THE CHILDREN?!)

Has "talked" with asgore before.

(Sadly, asgore and papyrus has crossed paths. Asgore advises him not to but dangerous puzzles around town, for the children. Papyrus wants to put dangerous puzzles around town, for the children. This results in them bickering over saftey laws, with papyrus usually winning.)

Tried to start a flowey fan club

(On multiple occasions calls flowey "his best freind" and shows genuine love for the little guy. He even gave flowey a little red scarf to match his, during the 5th anniversary winter alarm clock.)

Has photo-graphic memory for phone calls.

-call in the room where undyne chased you. He seems nervous, or atleast stressed out during this call. I'll leave any and all interpretation to you.)

(Ps: papyrus has bad memory, but good photographic memory?)

His disliking for grease

(Says this during a call with undyne in grillby's place. Undyne says she loves grease, and he quickly dismisses his opinion in favor of hers. Of course, papyrus HAS visited grillbys before, as the dogamy and doggeressa mention him with sans. )

Calls alphys "great"

(During the first tile puzzle, he praises alphys by calling her "THE GREAT DR. ALPHYS" )

Knows about undynes crush on alphus

(He teases undyne a few times on this, leading to the "hot voice" and "audible wink" papyrus lines. He's not oblivious to the things around him, unless he chooses to be.)

Put limes in his eyes!

(Conversation in hotland! The guy thought limes where cucumbers and stuck them in his eyes. When. He thought it wasn't working he put more limes. It burned like hell but he says it was all to have "mettaton's bishoning eyes")

Knows about mtt's eyes

(Nobody seems to know that mettaton has eyes?! Undyne confirms this fact. Papyrus is the only one who outright mentions it.)

He got mettaton to do the tile puzzle thing

(FOR SOME UNEXPLAINED REASON- mettaton was the tile puzzle robot alphys built. The puzzle robot papyrus had during his own tile puzzle. Infact, during mettaton's tile puzzle in hotland, he says that you'd is this a few hundred rooms ago. If you call papyrus, he starts rambling on all the instructions again. Hehe.)

he likes dinosaur oatmeal

(According to the undertale tumblr, flowey response to "whats papyrus's favorite food?" Is DINOSAUR OATMEAL!! YAY!)

really enjoys mtt's show and mtt in general.

(and mtt even helped him with a tile puzzle)

enjoys cars

Owns a car bed

(Want to drive one)

really freaking artistic!

(Paints a whole bridge, makes a snowpapyrus, made his own costume/battle body, built a okay replica of a sentry station)

The red book on the table in the skelebro's house is infact his!

(For specifics, the quantum mechanics book with infinite books inside of it. It isn't specified who reads it, but both brothers should be capable as jokes and puns are not out of papyrus wardrobe.)

has his own shed and tools.

(Also known as "the punishment shed, doghouse, cpature zone, guest room, a garage" or undyne's pun which was "the coolshed". Ah, to be enriched by shed puns... Wonderful.)

tried to learn the "horoscope"

(Got "stumped" according to sans)

thinks junior jumble is harder than crossword

wants a 6 pairs of hot pants and 6 pairs of legs to wear those pants

has a dream of owning a shop where he just sells flames

(Call near in waterfall, near the turtle man shop.)

He's very influential

(If he's the only one killed in a neutral run, even without undyne, a revolution will still occur. Look into it yourself if need be.)

Called himself a genius

(During the instance, where he talks to you after turning the light on in sans's room.)

Can't really tell when someones mad

(He couldn't tell when undyne was mad at him during a call. He asks us too.)

Doesn't watch anime.

(He thinks its like cartoons for babies. Jokes around with undyne for awhile before taking it all back once he knew she watched anime.-during one of the calls.)

Brutal kind of guy

(He says this himself, i don't exactly know WHY he thinks this of himself, but he does.)

Bookworm

Owns a bookshelf

(He has a book Its where his vast dictionary comes from.

Knows about the time and space manipulation tactics sans uses.

(HE KNOWS- HE MENTIONS IT WHEN HE TURNS ON THE LIGHT IN SANS'S ROOM!!)

believes you can be a better person, if you just try.

(And he's right. Even if you kill him he still believes this, beacuse well.. Its true. Undyne wont forgive you and try to kill you, sans won't fight you, bht he's still right either way)

Knows about river person

(He asks about how river person is doing. No body seems to know about river person, and its unsure if undyne knows about their prescence.)

The days in his date scene (Monday, Tuesday, weekday, Thursday,e.c.t ) changes depending on your computer. Even though the date in undertale is always Monday.

(River person has a scheduled thing that matches up to your computer date as well, but this is about papyrus, not river person.)

Weird abilities

(Flying and super speedy twirling, flying backwards. He doesn't even hide it.)

He's pretty freaking tough!

(According to undyne, the person who defeated asgore.)

His "absolutely normal attack" is a giant cluster of bones.

(In theory, his attack could be the size of the entire area, including the giant bone at the end.)

Papyrus can lower the giant bone at the end of his "absolutely normal attack"

Has Collection of bones (or was planning to make one.)

(The room behind the sink was made for.. His attacks/bones. Before toby(dog)came in and made a shrine instead.)

Is annoying dog's favorite target.

Has a cannon, spears, fire thingy, and a dog at his disposal.

(Displayed during the bridge scene)

One persistent dude.

Likes to say "NYEHEHE!"

Has alot of MTT items.

Owns makeup!

(Mtt brand of course!)

Never dated anyone before.

(He says it himself.)

Dislikes hotland

dislikes hotland x2

Dislikes hotlands puzzles

Dislikes hotlands ethics.

Doesnt know much about hotland

(Says he knows it like the back of his hand!)

Says he never taken off his gloves, so he has no idea how his hands look like.

(He wears gloves or mittens on top of his gloves. And refuses to take it off, like his "battle body")

Calls hotland's steam puzzles garbage.

Dislikes hotlands conveyors

Thinks L1 and R2 stand for left and right

( Of course, it takes him awhile. He starts making puns, and tries to compare the words to pasta, and THEN comes to the conclusion that its left and right. Its Trail and error.-)

Knows about death.

(Said he wanted to meet death one time during a waterfall call.)

He pauses when speaking as a lost soul.

("I MUST CAPTURE A HUMAN! THEN EVERYONE WILL. ...." This is unusual as he is the only one that pauses. This can be interpreted, but it is rather interesting nonetheless)

Alright this is a bit more interpretive. Things may not be 100% facts down here.

Disclaimer: i will be putting "Interpretive" in red coloring for things that have may my interpretation or opinions in! Please do be mindful in your search, and take it with a grain of salt. It doesn't make it comepelty wrong, it has facts! Just muddled with oppinions.

Ready?

self-worth problems.

( can be called interpretive: He always feels very unimportant, as if he doesn't actually matter. During a call in waterfall, with the puddle hallway, papyrus talks about not letting it "get to you" or something along the lines of that. Since undyne speaks from her experience with the puddles, then i'd assume papyrus would too.)

(I think its just a sign of self doubt or insecurity. Someone once said its dysphoria, which is a cool headcannon for paps or something. What ever it is, he has some demons that he doesn't want to let out.)

Forgetable.

( according to the genocide description)

( Interpretive: Other than that, he's not even noticable. Though, there are a few people that appreciate him, most dont really acknowledge him. Unless you kill him of course!)

Sad/depressed?

( interpreitive as well:Before the human showed up, sans explains how his brother was feeling quite down lately. We see a.. Happier side of papyrus through out our journey.. He vents out to us, the player/human, about things he dislikes, or troubles he faces. Hes like a froggit. Life is hard for a froggit.)

Smiles through things.

("This is where I tried to capture you! What a bad memory." -quote he says as he smiles through it all. He does have a sad emote, but so far i have only seen it during a call in hotland, where the CORE was shown. As your adventure is coming close.. To an end.)

Uses his playful "OUCH!" emote when you straight up kill him. Instead of his hurting/in pain emote when flowey catches him off guard before absorbing everyonesones souls.

(The reason is unkown, but that emote is normally associated with more of "light taps." Examples are, toriel's fireballs at asgore and flowey. Unless... Cutting off his head was considered a "light tap" then, but flowey wrapping him in painful vines is considered more painful than getting his head chopped off and still having enough consciousness to joke about it.)

He knows his cooking sucks and that nobody likes it.

(He's not naive. He knows. He even says it. "Nobody has like my cooking before!" - QUOTE. This isn't some hidden fact. He's trying his best, "mabye next year, he might even make something edible." -sans quote.)

That was all the stuff i gathered for now.

Feel free to tell me anything i haven't added! :)

yeah, hes a pretty cool dude, ain't he?

(Edit: i've added some new things to the bunch, and fixed/deleted ome opinions or unrelated junk. Please, continue helping me add!)

[ostewell]

hermit items

or, to be more specific, items i associate with the hermits

i plan to draw soon, but ive been kinda swamped by school and a big ol’ project lol

edit: jsut did a proofreading now that its the morning and i can like,,, properly read gjshgkjsdhf

i dont think much changed when it comes to readability, but there is a minor amount of clarification owo

under the cut bc hng long lol

wels:

wels's helmet's plume; (wels's plume is still a ponytail in my design im just makin it a true plume for this) the red, flowy part is made from dyed horsehair. the gold-plated ring is wide, too wide to be a true ring, but too small to be a bracelet 

the pommel of a sword, it's made from iron, with a blue sapphire embedded inside it. the iron has various engravements, fitting those on his helmet. (i can pull up my wels design again if needed lol) it screws into the handle on a roughly centimeter long threaded rod that's been soldered onto the bottom of it

etho:

etho's headband; has shifting engravements, when the engravements shift, they dont dissapear and reappear, the points that make them up just "move," sort of like in stickbug videos where the lines move lol, it displays the expression of the person it is touching, and when it is not in contact with anyone the points move around idly, not making up any particular shape 

a pair of diamond boots. nothing particularly interesting about them. 

joe:

a pair of navy blue glasses, shaped like the ones he wears irl. near the hinges on the things i learned are called "temples," there are small @ symbols. otherwise, just a standard pair of glasses 

an iron pick, enchanted. it's been repaired before. at the end of its handle, at the opposite side from the head, there is a small diamond with a cross going through it engraved in the wood. it looks like it was difficult to do. 

a piece of lime green stained glass. its definitely new, and its definitely going to be placed. at some point. by accident. it has fingerprint smudges, and is more opaque and vibrantly colored than regular stained glass (thanks to one of my irl friends for the idea of this one gjsdhgkj)

mumbo:

his red tie; tied. it seems to have the sort of wear as a tie that's just loosened and removed, rather than repeatedly tied. there are redstone stains on the knot and along the middle section, with a distinct line where his blazer usually covers, along with an oddly shaped diagonal stain, that slightly feathers the right side of the distinct separation.

a block of redstone, accompanied by a small knife.  a fourth of the block has been whittled away (presumably by the knife), but is otherwise normal. the knife is about the length of a hand. its handle is a deep maroon. whether this is from redstone staining or if it was made that way, you can't tell. there's a pair of sharpening stones attached to it by a piece of definitely redstone-stained-red string 

(a small addendum: anything that's been stained red lightly glows when near powered redstone owo)

doc:

his red eye. now that you can see the full thing, it goes deeper than you'd expect, at least a couple inches into the metallic half of his face. there are wires leaving the end of it, its not the sort of thing that you can just pop back in and it'll work fine. the lens, which is clear, protects an assortment of LED lights, that can change their brightness at doc's will to depict images. the lighter metal frame, looks like aluminum, seems to be mostly aesthetic, though it does connect to his ear. its hard to tell what its function is, but doc seems quite insistent on having it back, so you’d rather not mess with it more.

a chunk of quartz, carved into the shape of a goat horn. doesn't seem to serve any other purpose, just a totem of the goat mother lol

ren:

his signature sunglasses. on the hinges of the lens frames themselves, there is a cyberdogs logo (red gear with a large center and says "CD," also red, on the inside) 

a piece of beef, not the hermit. there are mycelia (as in mushroom roots, not the block) running through it. you're not sure of its edibility, but considering its label, which says "Pamela - RIP" you think worse things would happen to you than being sick if you ate it. 

beef: 

a butcher's apron, bloodstained. you arent sure of the blood's origins; you assume it's animal, but considering the look he gave you when you asked about it, you don't want to know. otherwise, it seems standard. there's a pocket on the front. 

a tuft of llama fur. it's cream-colored. nothin special, just some wool lol

scar: 

a cat's collar. it's purple, with the non-fabric bits being gold (not gold plated or pure gold, just gold colored). the tag says "jellie" 

a diamond shovel. if you can call it that. it's more of a trowel than a shovel. it doesn't have any dirt stains, but it does have "vote for scar" written on the dark-oak wood handle in incredibly hard to read black text. 

tango: 

a ravager horn, just a standard trophy from what was likely a difficult- or first- kill 

a stick of dynamite. you're not sure if its explosive or not, it seems like its gotten wet, but you'd rather not test 

cleo: 

the armor stand book, with some additions. there are extra notes added; the "check target" button has been circled about 30 times in about 30 different colors. the ink from that has telegraphed through the page. there are little drawings of all the poses in the "preset" menu, direction notes, and more you can't make out. you're sure she doesnt need these notes anymore. except the circling on the check target button. 

im not sure what to give cleo as a second item lol 

false: 

a pair of pilot's goggles. the lenses are blue, and framed with polished iron. there are little cushions, which are made from black rubber. the lenses connect from either side via a brown leather strap. 

the hilt of a broadsword. it's made from brass, and the grip is wrapped with a similarly colored leather to the one that's the strap of her goggles. the strips are woven like a basket. the pommel features a blue sapphire, a darker blue than the one on wels's pommel. the guard is that of a basket hilt.

Nevertheless, episode 2: ITS NOT ONLY ME, NEVERTHELESS,

Gives the viewers a insight of Nabi’s curious mind as a young woman as she explores her sexual attraction for JaeEon without having the constraints.

The 2nd episode continues with the last scene from the pilot where Nabi and JaeEon are about to kiss. In her mind she thinks that JaeEon feels the same attraction as she does but the almost kiss was abrupt by a phonecall. JaeEon got a call from Yeoju and apologizes that he cannot be with Nabi that day but promises another day. As JaeEon leaves, Nabi takes out her cellphone and sees a misscall from JaeEon’s number which she saves and smiles.

Real talk with Bitna

Nabi and Bitna has a conversation the next day, Bitna tells her that Jae-Eon isnt the dating type.She says that he is the type who flirts but never commits to a relationship. He stops at a line until things get a little further. Nabi was taken aback and questioned her friend if what she says is true.Bitna compares Jae-Eon to a flower and that the flower doesn’t grow for one butterfly. A flower was compared as a symbol of seductive beauty that withers once it’s plucked.Bitna also added that Jae-Eon is a very calculated person. Nabi commented how she felt that something was off about him but not in the way Bitna talks about him. She also explains how everyone knows about Jae-Eon’s behavior and they’re not easily fooled since whoever interacted with him is aware. Bitna basically tells her that he is a player. Nabi is in denial that they are just friends but her friend knows that she cant just keep it casual. As friends though, Bitna admits that he’s not that bad to hang out with.

Im glad that Nabi has a friend like Bitna who tells her the truth and keeps it real. Sometimes if you’re in with your feelings about a certain guy who has red flags you dont see it. She’s good.

The club

Jae-Eon joins Nabi from the cafeteria and talks about using his wish and if she can grant him another one and that night they ended up in a club. We see Nabi absolutely hating the loud noise. Jae-Eon gets their drinks, spots her covering her ears and smiled going towards her. Jae-Eon reveals that his wish is to have a dance with her but Nabi just wanted to leave. Jae-Eon insists but Nabi clearly hates being in the loud environment. He then whispers to Nabi’s ear in a flirty way and tries to make her dance. In Nabi’s mind, Jae-Eon makes her feel excited and she sees is him. Both of them stayed and eventually danced. We can see how Nabi has growing feelings for Jae-Eon and is curious if he likes her. They were about to kiss but someone accidentally bumps into them. Nabi went to the bathroom and noticed how red her face was. She’s purely physically attracted to him and knows nothing about him yet she’s getting flustered. Nabi gets a message from Jae-Eon that he’s smoking outside the club. The woman that Nabi sees at the club goes outside and talks to Jae-Eon and complaint why he wasnt reading any of her messages and why is he suddenly hanging out at the club. Jae-Eon mentioned that he’s with Nabi and when the woman approached her Nabi for a invitation with her friends, she notices a butterfly art on the woman’s skin. Nabi starts to feel anxious. Jae-Eon rudely asked her to leave. Jae-Eon asked her why was she trying to get away from him, she was quite observant that she’s prob not just some any girl. Jae-Eon says that the woman is obsessed and delusional. GIRL, RED FLAG.

Racy thoughts

After Nabi being aware of Jae-Eon’s ways she still cant help but feel sexually attracted to him. Things are about to get spicy. Cover your eyes and skip if you cant handle! Nabi had a racy dream and woke up because of the shock. She then receives a call from Jae-Eon. Then the next day for her presentation she sees a acne below her chin. HAH! She sees Jae-Eon at the class and covered her acne from him and why? Think he might ask how she got it, stop from embarrassment. Then Jae-Eon notices that she sometimes act cold towards him. During her presentation, she starts to feel her period. Ouch. She goes out of the classroom covering her behind and Jae-Eon notices then gives her his hoodie. Their respective friends start to get curious after Jae-Eon lent his hoodie and ask if they are close or if something is going on. Nabi said that she’s not pushing away someone who is being nice to her or if someone is making her feel special. Bitna keeps on warning her but just lets her be because she has to realize it herself.

Hangout

Nabi realizes how popular Jae-Eon is with everyone, things got boring while everyone else was waiting for him. Nabi comments on how he’s the main character of everyone’s story. Once he arrived her sexual desire for him heightens even more. Then someone made a rude comment about women giving birth, it did not sit well with her at all. Everyone loses their appetite. Jae-Eon and Nabi both stood up away from the table. He gave her a lime drunk as it was something she enjoyed back in the club. She was surprised on how he remembered it.

Minsang came back out with Jae-Eon, Nabi and Bitna. He still kept on making rude comments and asked if there was something going on between her and Jae-Eon. Jae-Eon told Minsang that nothing was going on and she looks hurt. Well you never asked in the first place. Jae-Eon reassured his statement to Nabi acting like a asshole. Sorry cant help it. Minsang obviously drunk kept on telling her how he kept on noticing the glances. From annoyance, Nabi excuses herself to the bathroom.

Bitna playing it real again telling her that Jae-Eon doesnt know how she feels so that’s why he said that to Minsang, incase it got awkward. I get her point but the way he said it made him act like a-hole, but then again Nabi never mentioned how she felt towards him either. But if it was the case he could’ve changed the subject, so why didnt he? Because he doesnt have any intention at all. Bitna even told her that Jae-Eon kept looking her and says that he doesnt just buys a drink for any girl. She also said that she senses something else. Nabi wanted to get rid of her feelings but that night is not the night. Bitna encourages Nabi to invite him along with Bitna to her house. She made a choice to be a fun girl for a moment. Their group eventually went to her house and they spinning bottle games.

Nabi’s house party

During the spinning bottle kiss game, things got a little too noisy and the neighbors went to complain. He even flirts with the neighbors and wishes them luck to pacify their anger. While doing so he put his arm around Nabi and the friends noticed. things got awkward for a min but they continued back to their game. The bottle eventually landed to both of them but they both drank instead, which eventually ended the game.

When everyone left, Jae-Eon seem to be missing only to find out he is with another girl. She spied for them a bit and obviously is upset. Nabi was about to headback but Jae-Eon stops her and tell her that its all a game and the other girl just wanted to try it. Nabi still upset tells Jae-Eon that he doesnt need to explain. Jae-Eon asked if she wanted to try kissing him. Jae-Eon confessed that he rather kiss her and eventually tried to but she stopped him. Jae-Eon says that he wont force to kiss her if she doesnt want to. He’s so confusing. Then eventually, Nabi was the one who initiated the kiss!    

These 2 are in for a roller coaster.

[musubiki]

i might have mentioned this sometime before but ive been thinking about it again: the reason why lime doesnt ask mochi out and vice versa for a while

Some time after mochi becomes a witch and lime has been in her guild, also after he becomes PAINFULLY aware of how he feels about her, theres a moment where he has a conversation with her (casual-like) fishing about how she would feel about getting a boyfriend. as long as hes known her, shes never gone on a date with anyone, no ones asked her out, and shes never mentioned having a crush on anyone to him. so during some conversation about something or another, he asks something along the lines of "Well when you get a boyfriend, he's gonna need to be okay with your weird witchiness I guess haha-- (lowkey interest check)"

and his plan here was IF she answers to some extent that she would like a boyfriend, he would ask her out. but instead she kinda smiles a bit and falls quiet, before responding "If I could have one..."

and when he asks what the hell that even means, she tells him the same thing pom and tiramisu told her when she first became a witch: "This isn't just some happy fun times, willy=nilly side hobby you treat carelessly. Your family legacy and more importantly, your life, are both constantly at risk and you need to always be focused on learning and mastering your magic as it grows. To that end, you don't have time to date and be in a relationship-- it'll only be a distraction to you and a weakness that can be exploited. You'll constantly be split between your magic and your partner. Either you won't be fully committed to your studies to spend time with them, or you won't be fully committed to them because of your studies. It's not a luxury you can afford. Until this is complete and you have full mastery of your magic to the point where you're not constantly in a state where you need to fight for your life, having a boyfriend is advised against."

and lime just kinda stays quiet for a bit, before going "...so no boyfriend until the magic shit is all done..."

and in his head hes thinking yeah, fine, that makes sense. I dont want to be a burden to her or distract her, and I dont want to cause more stress for her because pom is like an asian mom that constantly will remind her about what a bad decision it is. and this ALL hinges on the event that she wants to date him and it doesnt ruin their friendship. so he eventually decides fine. ill hold off on it for now, just be there for her however i can and i'll ask her out when this whole thing is done (and in the meantime, maybe i can gauge how much she likes me if at all, and if not i can try to get her to fall for me)

(worth noting he WANTS to ask her out right before the timeskip happens, something like "Hey we should go get ice cream tomorrow-- you know, to celebrate your magic reaching its full power and all." (where he was gonna ask her out for real), and she smiles and says "Sure!", but pom already told her she was leaving that night, and by the next morning shes gone)

[stormyykat]

trying to distract myself so thinking abt my ocs

-lillith made an album dedicated to her brother before she found him again. it was hard for her to balance her grief and her job, so she combined them. she wont admit this though, and when asked about what it means she’ll say “it’s about a past regret”

-gods don’t have to eat or sleep. this is because they have gained their powers directly from one of the main three gods, and are no longer human. there is only one exception to this, which is olez. olez was not chosen by any of the main three, and his godhood was passed down to him by his mother when she died. this makes olez technically still human, so he has to eat and sleep occasionally. he usually doesnt though.

-as i said in the second one, gods dont have to eat, but they still can if they want too. roman exclusively eat granola bars. kyle drinks more in a day than a human should drink in a week. archie really likes cashews.

-emotas is friends with a lot of the popular musicians in polybrook. he has a stage in his bar and on fridays he’ll have a few of them come and perform. he, neon, and roxy hang out after closing hours, playing cards and gossiping.

-monica was avery’s student. avery taught her about inventing and engineering. when monica grew older and started hunting gods and their powerstones, avery was the only one she hesitated at.

-daymond is, legally, pinecone’s father.

-lime removed his kidney and then grew it back. you’ll know how he did it when he finally finishes his book.

-jones did graffiti once, but immediately stopped because roman is 5′5′‘ and scary

-as a human, in order to gain powers you must worship a god of your choosing. lillith has many worshipers and a lot of them are twitter stans. emotas doesn’t have many because everybody thinks calum is dead. most people on dagger island worship olez because he lives up the street and its easier to ask him for acknowledgement.

Cinder’s Notes on Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets

We’re back with CoS!

Again, massive spoilers for the entire HP series (obviously)

Woo the hell plans where theyre going to stand when dinner guests arrive? you seem so unbelievably inhuman, which, i suppose the Dursleys are, but still...

DUDLEY’S COMPLIMENT FOR MRS. MASON

Because Harry is an unreliable narrator, is it possible that the Dursleys treat him slightly better than is described? Unlikely, but something to consider

Harry is so humble?

He’s also hilarious “[Voldemort] hasnt got a brother, has he?”

bars on the window are a bit extreme

the twins ooze chaotic energy

are the owls that wizards use magical? they always seem to understand humans VERY well...or is it just magic that gives magic folk a better connection w animals? Or is that just how owls are? Or do I just not understand how carrier birds work? 

rather convinient that only the bottom stair creaks and not like. the 13th from the top or something

“Draco made Dudley sound sweet” i mean. childish bullying at school  vs physical abuse for years but ok go off jkr

the twins are 14 and driving a car. in Britain. where you have to be 18. chaos

Mrs. Weasley reminds me way too much of my own mother

Percy wears sweater vests confirmed (are we surprised)

Please take a moment to imagine Percy’s reaction to Hermione becoming Minister

Lockhart + Rita Skeeter (idk what this means but its in my notes)

“got the impression that Snape could read minds” 👀

Lockhart is just gonna go through the whole rainbow huh

Lockhart really compared Harry almost DYING to him winning that stupid smile award. Bruh.

Lockhart has 7 books

I feel bad for Nick :(

There’s so much about the Vanishing Cabinets in this book!

that moment with the salamander and the firework is a gem

Do Ron and Hermione at least hear hissing in the walls?

so Lockhart is basically running the Hogwarts theatre department huh

why was Ron’s first thought toenails

Scarhead? Thats the BEST insult you can come up with, Malfoy? 

Yeah, let the 12y/o deal with the rogue bludger on his own, y’hear? (can you tell I’m a lot older now)

Honestly, Madame Pomfrey? Kinda a savage

If Voldemort was 70 when he died in ‘98, and he went to school with Lucius, how old is Lucius? 

Technically, if all purebloods are related, Harry IS a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. Not the heir obvs, but you know

honestly when you think about it, Fawkes’s death is hilarious. Like Harry’s just chillin and sees a cool bird and then it spontaneously combusts 

Did Crabbe and Goyle ever get their shoes back? 

Ron has REALLY good intuition

Why do they still have Riddle’s trophy on display? Like yeah not many people know that he’s Voldemort but that just feels like the equivalent of like...keeping up a trophy for the kid that turned out to be a sch**l sh**ter

Ok but the younger Weasleys have this knack for bullying Voldy. Twins pelted him with snowballs, Ginny flushed his diary down a toilet, Ron barfed slugs all over his special award....

well Harry if its a DIARY where you conventionally write personal stuff about your day or your crush, why are we surprised that it doesnt even have stuff like “dentist” and “aunt mary’s birthday” or “half past 3″ written in it

RON’S INTUITION BRUH “[the diary] coud be dangerous” “maybe [Tom Riddle] murdered Myrtle] yall know that theory abt him being a seer? yeah

I adore these characters so much bc theyre so real?? Lke we truly watch them grow up. Something about the way 11y/o Ginny covers her face and runs away vs how she acts in the later books just. I adore it. 

So this is where I broke my own heart and froze for a solid 15 minutes. I was beginning to write “I hope the twins sang ‘His Eyes Are As Green As A Fresh Pickled Toad’ at their wedding” before I realized that only one twin got to attend Harry & Ginny’s wedding. I trailed off at the S in twins and you can see how shaky my hand got in the writing (i wrote all of this out in a journal)

Riddle’s personality is so well preserved. (and then I remembered that he made his first horcrux that year and THATS why bc this is 16/17 y/o voldy’s soul)

In Riddle’s memory, he stops by the potions room after speaking to Dumbledore on the staircase. Slughorn is teaching that year. Harry says he is stuck outside that room for “what felt like an hour.” Is this where Tom asks about horcruxes? Technically at this point, Myrtle has already been murdered and its been a while but I’m p sure he asks about horcruxes after class one day. But idk. It really seems plausible, and It’s possible that he altered the memory to show Harry...

this is my least favorite book so i just wrote “this is the most boring book. I’m skimming.”

ah forcing 12 y/o to choose a career path

Quidditch mathces are EARLY (im used to sports matches in the evenings but i guess soccer matches are early and such so it makes sense) (my american is showing)

Is sitting at any table allowed? I never understood that and it used to bug me in the movies. Is it only required to sit at your House table during important feasts? Is that how a lot of inter-house relationships come to be? 

Fudge’s wardrobe was ROBBED in the movie. They really made him look like an established businessman when when we first meet the man, he’s wearing a pinstriped suit, scarlet tie, POINTED PURPLE SHOES and honestly woud it have been so hard to at least give him the lime green bowler hat? Such a staple of his personality

i feel like we tend to forget that hagrid has been to Azkaban

Ron saw Draco being racist and had to be physically held back by his friends. Mans was ready to THROW HANDS. 10/10 absolute icon

The prejudice against werewolves is very prominent.They clearly dont know a lot about them/arent taught (constantly expecting to find them roaming the forbidden forest EVERY NIGHT)

literally WHAT would they do without Hermione

still shocked that Hermione Jean Granger would willingly rip a page out of a book, especially a library book. But maybe thats just the fact that I’m the daughter of a librarian.

is the basilisk page from Fantastic Beasts? They really called it “a page from an old book” its literally in ur first year curriculum but ok boys

Why did Ron toss Lockhart’s wand out the window? He couldve used it instead of his spellotaped one. Granted, it wouldnt have been very good later on if he had, but. You know?

if this Tom is just an imprint of Voldy’s soul at 16/17, how does he even know who Harry is

he already has voldy’s laugh

OH Ginny told him about Harry that makes sense

Voldemort is SO dramatic. Imagine your buddy Tom one day says “hello dearest closest friends, I’ve decided I hate my name so I tried to make an acronym. Please only refer to me as Voldemort from now on. Also I could spell Lord with my name, so I am claiming my new status as a Lord.”

Also he’s holding Harry’s wand. Why is he sending this ginormous, super sow snake after this tiny scrawny 12y/o? Just kill him yourself. Even when Harry gets poisoned Tom’s like “take ur time bro imma watch u die i have nothing better to do” and only when neither of those first tow extra af options DO NOT WORK does he think “oh well guess i gotta use this WAND now ugh” like was he just not corporeal enough to actually use the wand yet or???? Buddy. If you really wanted Harry dead I feel like you could do better.

the fang SPLINTERED in Harry’s arm????????????????? uhm

Harry gets covered in ink a lot in the series

Dumbledore is such a simp for Voldemort honestly

I forget that Harry & Ron get trophies for special services too bro

did Arthur create the Muggle Protection Act???

...why DOES Lucius have Voldy’s old school things? 

Harry and Ron got a total of 400 points for this. But only 10 FOR TAKING OUT A TROLL AT AGE 11 

Lucius is LITERALLY on the PTA hes a school governor

when kpop idols leave/step down/get kicked out only then do fans show how much they care when they desperately want their faves to be back… grow up. also they dont see how restricting the industry actually is and how much is really put into being an idol more than any western artist thats for sure, so i dont think fans fully appreciate their idols unless something happens to them then they suddenly matter more than their own sanity, dignity and self worth put together. its also like fans either arent satisfied enough with who the idols are so they keep wanting, needing and asking for more from them this is probably what happened to jennie & her “lazy scandal” its ridiculous, if idols have so much on their plate are working tirelessly to please the unappreciative fans, but then the fans criticise or scrutinise idols for just being freaking humans its scarily unhealthy both for the idols and the fans to be like that to them

dont put the same standard on someone else that you wouldn’t put on yourselves. i actually want bts to either step down from the lime light, join the military to do whatever the fck they want, date, marry, have kids so the fans will shut up for once about “their precious boys” bc no one can hate them, not a single soul can say crap about them

its creepy and borderline stalker like behaviour how “protective” they are over someone that they dont know and the likely hood of bts knowing them is slim so i dont get half the fans behaviours both online and in real life towards the members

bring your arse back down to reality for the love of god your life does not centre and isn’t defined by these 7 guys or any idol for that matter alone… surely one of them has got to leave soon enough and im sure more idols will, only time will tell. i wish they would’ve took the break in 2018 or whenever it was. fans dont even care to admit how fed up the idols probably feel from dealing with their own fanbase or having to give so much to the fans and have little energy for themselves

i was chatting to a friend awhile back, i kinda drifted away from because she was a lil like this, made bts her kinda obsession and even when we talked about their new music which im a fan of to some extent but i commented that i didnt like the recent songs all i got back was dont say that about bts… we’re both the same age and she seemed so mature but kinda got in her head that i was “attacking” bts for simply not liking every song they did. wow if thats what this humanity have come to then im glad im not like that

its simply fine to not fully be a fan, in fact it actually makes me enjoy and appreciate them more without the attachments to the members because to me they’re just some cool artists i enjoy but to others its like they centre their whole life around them to the point they forget to have interest in their own life, its become a complete distortion of their own reality since so much love and happiness is projected into 7 guys they wont ever know personally so when it comes to not being a fan or when a member leaves/gets kicked out its like suddenly the worst thing ever to the fans but i’d say it is how it is with any music industry, there’s rules to follow, contracts to abide by, they chose to be idols and become artists therefore it doesnt matter who they are but theres going to be some form of backlash or fall out and no amount of whining, pleading to the companies is going to change that

rules and guidelines are there for reasons u dont just go and break them when it could potentially ruin the image of the company / staff etc, theres so much more at stake than just the idols reputation when scandals happen cause theres much more to it than just ur “biases” alone… production teams, merchandisers, all these staff members that work tirelessly for them too could be put back bc of an idol deciding to act out of the normal or break some rules, do something they shouldn’t

sometimes its just for the better tbh, they can focus purely on themselves and regain their own freedom and rights rather than owing so much to the fans or the company. tbh i bet the idols get to a point where they’re like nope this is enough, does something *wrong* just to deliberately get out of the industry. cause surely they’re aware of what they do and what the rules, regulations must follow with being an idol. therefore they wouldnt deliberately go against it if they werent trying to get out or had enough of it. theres always going to be some type of fall out but stop acting like it affects you more than the idol when it has nothing to do with yourselves, you’re merely someone who enjoys them but so many care too deeply about it, plus its all legally done now u cant just up and out as u please so for idols to make that choice its not easy on them or the company they’re with

also what is with fans not allowing kpop idols to be truly themselves but when it happens to the likes of hyuna, woojin suddenly its considered okay after awhile it calms down but when it happens fans lose their dignity and self worth over something as minor as an idol leaving/being kicked out… theres probably a lot worse going on rn than what we see on the surface you all can be hypocritical or bashful of anyone you like, the company, the idols, the groups or you can simply accept that sometimes your faves arent who they appear to be, i know its a shocker to me too but what you see on camera is not what you get off camera, stop living like you know them, stop trying to protect and defend them for everything. live your own damn lives and focus on yourselves more than anything while still enjoying what you like but not to that ridiculous extent that its become… sadly

Which papa Louie character would be the most sus in among us? I think Papa is automatically sus

You've evoked a rant out of me.. better starts scrolling now or you wont live long enough to make it to the other side

I think I saw this ask last night and I think that's why I had a really long haze-dream about Among Us at 7 am this morning. Here's the thing about being sus in Among Us - if you actually did something evil and were not able to properly mask it, that's pretty sus. Obviously there are ways to be sus while being innocent and thats half the battle but I'm just gonna focus on the good-at-lying aspect to start here.

Papa Louie as his canon character Does Not like to lie. I think that he would struggle really bad with being an imposter, and I think that he would be confused when people don't believe him when he says who the imposter really is. HOWEVER. That says nothing about his lying capability.

Papa Louie is a business man. He has to know how to save face and keep a consistently smooth demeanor. Above all, he's gotten very good at playing 3D chess in order to have the number of successful businesses that he does.

If you got him to play Among Us, and explained thoroughly that "it's just a game, people EXPECT you to lie to cover your tracks, that's part of the fun," then I think that he would be very very good at being the imposter. Because he KNOWS how to Appear Genuine, and he KNOWS how to Play people. Plus, who wants to doubt Papa Louie? He's so sweet and friendly!! You'd never expect him to lie about himself or anyone. He doesnt like to lie, but he can do it, and will do it if necessary, and especially if it's for a fun game.

Other people who know how to play people and would make or try to make good imposters:

- Quinn. Very smooth and assertive, good at rolling with the defenses (she's literally a lawyer), one flaw is that people usually expect that shes the imposter bc Who Would Argue so eloquently and voraciously their innocence if they were a crewmate (Quinn would), so shes often highly suspicious. She also takes up the discussion time arguing other people's cases too, just because she can and also because she can't help it, so playing with her can be really exhausting. Luckily she never has time to play it anyway.

- Radlynn. She is CRASS and RASH and somehow good at lying. She'll say such nonsense with such conviction that you believe it, and if you hang with her for just a day you'll see that shes the natural born leader for any friend group that she assimilates into. For these reasons, you want to doubt her, but her tone when shes innocent and her tone when shes not are exactly the same, and you know that if you read her wrong then she would just love that, so for those reasons you temporize and bite your tongue (and that's what she wants, much to your chagrin). Also she defends other people just to get them on her side. It works.

- Little Edoardo. Ooooh my god. Great bullshitter. You dont want to doubt him because hes so old. It's less poker face skill and much more because he speaks so monotonely that you can never tell by tone if somethings off. He just says things and you have to take his word for it. The hardest part for him is not laughing outloud when a crewmate gets ejected (it's less of a laugh and more of an old man chuckle).

Honorary mentions that try but end up being sus:

- LePete. His tactic is a bit like Edoardo's, and on his own he could probably win a few rounds, but usually people know him and distrust him and usually hes playing with Radlynn who is quick to call him out so idk... living like a barnacle-cleaner yet again.

- Janana and Bruna. I'm putting them together because they kind of go about it in the same way. They're excited to play, theyre thinking that nobody is going to suspect them, they keep getting called "sus" even though they're a crewmate (mostly by friends or family who KNOW that it would piss them off if they got called that), their tempers slowly rise bc their foundation is proving to be of sand. When they do get imposter they almost succeed in sabotaging the place but are brought down by alibis which no one can substantiate. Ultimately they dont have any special skill, but they do have bad luck, and both those things are not what they were expecting of themselves. They're both too stubborn (optimistic?) to quit playing though, so it's just a cycle. It's not even fun for them most of the time.

- Sue. She thinks that she would be good at it but A.) she has to play as red bc it's the last color available, and her work uniform is red and she was hoping to get away from that for a little bit so she's a little peeved and B.) Immediately Quinn points out her ""suave work"" (?? That's what she calls social prowess and manipulation skills and all that) to be "sloppy" and titles her as Sus and since nobody likes Sue they all take the opportunity to distrust Sue. When shes not playing with Quinn, shes the most loyal crewmate ever, and rather than stocking the shelves of the ship, she sometimes actively goes out hunting for imposters. It's a thrill that she doesnt get in her real task-doing job. Shes very good at balancing the patrols with the tasks and at being a manager when they're doing a voice chat. When shes the imposter she gets to live out a twisted fantasy of killing everyone in the store I MEAN ship, and it's easy to tell when shes the imposter bc shes considerably less concerned with bossing people around and bc she uses her costumer service voice to mask the sound of zealous bloodlust that comes with being the imposter.

People who are sus bc they dont know what they're doing:

- Roy. Get it together man

- Robby. He tries to be sneaky but he gets way too caught up in the fire and brimstone that the severity of the situation can bring. Half of the time when hes a crewmate he begs you to eject him, because he thinks that if he were on a ship in the ocean with imposters who had begun killing people, once it got dire he would want to walk the plank rather than have his body be eaten and used as fuel for the imposters.

People who are pretty neutral at the game:

- Lisa (only plays if Allan is playing and if she can be blue)

- Allan (only plays if Lisa is playing and if he can be lime)

ask your destiny to dance [17] {Roger Taylor}

[masterpost]

It takes Roger exactly two weeks to realise he doesn’t know Ash nearly as well as he thought he did. There’s a lot to glean about a person from their room, and what they say, but not everything, not even close to everything.

“So I guess you’re working tomorrow?” Roger asks, leaning against the bar as Ash polishes a glass. It comes as a surprise when she makes a face, shaking her head. “We’re going on a pub crawl, if you wanna come along then.” 

Ash takes her time before answering, hanging up the glass and pulling another from the rack before she finally speaks.

“I can’t, I’m busy, sorry.” And she sounds... uncomfortable about it. Roger’s never known her to be uncomfortable about anything that didn’t relate to her home life, and she can see the moment he jumps to that conclusion. “I’m going to Paris in the afternoon,” she says quickly, and Roger’s taken aback, “I don’t get home until late; train times, you know?” 

“A day trip to Paris?” He asks, and Maureen leans over to Ash with a small smile.

“Is that where you go on those Saturdays? That’s cute, Ash, little routine trips to France.” She flicks Ash with the end of her tea towel, to which Ash smiles despite herself, blushing and flicking Maureen back.

“Oi, I’m just going to Paris, nothing cute about it. I’m allowed to have hobbies, you know.” She argued back, and Maureen snickered, smiling fondly at the ginger before she tucked her tea towel into her back pocket and went back to cutting lime wedges. “I’m going to The Louvre.” Ash explained to Roger, cheeks still faintly pink.

“The Louvre?” There was a surprise in his voice that Ash had expected, and when she looks up at him, she still seems a bit defensive.

“There’s free entry once per month; first Saturday at six.” She pauses, and when his expression brightens, hers falls and she feels like she’s said too much.

“Do you go every month?” He sounds delighted at the prospect, and Ash wants to defend herself, but then he says, “you shouldn’t be catching the train so late, it’s dark even at six, love, you must get home at like midnight; just let me drive you.”

“Rog, you don’t need to do that,” but her grin is more relieved than anything else, the tension leaving her shoulders as she goes back to her work, “you guys are going out tomorrow, and besides, it’s not like I’ve never done it before.” 

“I can get on the piss with them any time; this only happens once a month.” And the way his words make Ash smile, quietly pleased, he’s already pretty sure it’s going to be worth it.

Things between them have been... weird. Good weird, sure, but that doesn’t make them less weird. They haven’t really had time for an actual date yet, they just sort of show up at each other’s homes and watch TV and make out whenever they don’t have work or rehearsals of a night. It’s been good, it’s felt safe. 

When Ash sits on the curb outside of her dorm, she feels nervous more than anything else. It’s not a feeling she’s used to; she’s never been nervous around Roger before; it takes her probably too long to realise how much she wants this to go well. When he shows up, just after midday, he’s beaming from the second hand station wagon that he’d gotten since recording the album. There’s a map in the passenger seat.

“I’ve driven there before, but not for a while, you’re going to have to direct me.” He advises as she buckles her seat belt, putting her sketchbook and thermos by her feet and unfolding the map.

It’s a long drive, just over five hours, and Ash is nervous for about three of them, which is only compounded by getting lost twice, and eventually Roger pulls over.

“You’ve been tense since I showed up; what’s wrong?” He asks, and Ash sighs heavily, picking up her thermos and pouring herself a small cup of tea.

“I don’t exactly go blabbing about the fact that I make semi-frequent trips to Paris, alright?” Ash admits, and she takes a sip of her drink, looking out through the windshield. Roger’s not sure what that means, how to respond, and after a minute, she adds, “Freddie doesn’t even really know.” And she finishes the tea, putting the thermos back, and Roger’s still quiet. When she finally looks at him, his expression is fondly amused.

“You’ve made me feel all special.” It’s far too genuine to be a joke, and Ash lets herself smile back, rolling her eyes at him.

“Don’t let it go to your head.” She warned, and Roger’s smile sharpened as he pulled back onto the road.

“Too late.” But he reaches over to rest his hand on her knee as she opens the map up again, and her heart grows warm, her anxiety easing. They turn up the radio for the rest of the trip; Ash hums along to the songs she only knows the tune of without too much hassle, yet somehow can’t seem to actually sing a note to save her life. She finishes butchering Elton’s Crocodile Rock at the top of her lungs, and Roger’s sides hurt from laughing, and she’s grinning in a way that means she knows exactly how terrible she is and how much it amuses Roger.

“I have other skills.” She says dismissively, grinning with her nose in the air as the radio host announces another song, and instead of answering, Roger sings along to the radio like he’d written the melody himself. “Showoff.” Ash laughed, and Roger’s eyes crease as he grins.

“I don’t have other skills, I gotta make use of this one.” He replied, lightly, and Ash’s expression softened.

“Oh shut it, you’ve got at least two other skills, probably.” She played along with his joke, watching him as he sings along to the rock song blaring from the radio, and it’s relaxed and easy, and she finds herself wondering why she’d been so worried just a few hours before. 

They hit Paris at a quarter to six, and grab some fast food before heading to the gallery. There’s people everywhere, and the line isn’t exactly short to get in, more than a few of them are uni students like them, looking to get in for free, and Ash says hi to a few; the fact that she goes here enough to know other people who do this regularly to is still something that baffles Roger a little. He’s worried she’s getting nervous again when she takes his hand - they’re not the sort of people who hold hands - but when he looks at her, her eyes are shinning and bright as she looks up at the building; she’s excited. 

Ash goes quiet in the gallery, looking around with wide-eyed reverence at the works around them. They move past the entrance slowly; Ash gazes at the works with their plaques memorised, while Roger reads them, fingers laced with hers. 

“Oh, hello.” Voice reverential, Ash greets a statue at the end of the hall like an old friend, and introduces Roger as such. “This is the Venus de Milo, she’s almost two thousand years old, god, look at that marble work, imagine how sharp it would have looked back then,” and then it’s like she’s opened a floodgate, and she’s tugging him along, rambling along the way about each piece they pass, little facts not on the plaques, things she can cite from the top of her head. Above everything, she’s passionate, pulling out of his grip to clutch her hands to her chest and looking up at headless sculpture of what Roger thinks is an angel, and what Ash clarifies to be The Winged Victory of Samothrace.

“Isn’t she beautiful?” Ash’s moon-eyed gaze was focused on the statue’s marble garments, but Roger’s only got eyes for her. When he doesn’t answer, she looks to him, catches the way he’s smiling at her, and she feels her cheeks heat up. “What?”

“You really love this stuff, don’t you?” It’s a sincere question, and it’s as if he can see her responses flit through her mind, sarcastic, dismissive, an eye roll, flippant, she passes them all, takes a moment to really look at him, taking her time to breathe in the whole situation before responding.

“More than anything.” It’s a sincere answer, and it catches him off-guard. Ash is many things, but unapologetically enthusiastic is not one Roger’s familiar with.

Turning on her heel, Ash leads further in to the gallery, but it’s finally hits him how much this means to her, this place, these works, bringing him here. They’d been together for barely a fortnight, but they both know it’s felt so much longer than that; she’d taken a gamble, bringing him, he has no doubt she’d have left him in London if she didn’t want him to come along, and something tightens in his chest. 

He doesn’t dwell on it, he takes it in stride well enough, peppering her with questions along the way that she seems thrilled to answer. Tucking her arm into his, they make their way through the building, the babbling turning to banter easily as Roger provides his own commentary on each piece as they pass, which serves to make Ash laugh.

They get to a small painting on the top floor with a border that looks bigger than the picture itself, and Ash has gotten quiet again. 

“Who’s this?” Roger asks, the two of them stepping close to get a closer look.

“The Lacemaker.” Ash sounds a little awed, and when he looks down at her, Roger sees how fondly she’s smiling at the little painting. “She’s my favourite.” 

“’course she is, she’s like you.” Roger answers easily, and Ash makes a face, laughing a little self consciously.

“No she’s not, shut up.” She doesn’t sound like she believes him, a bit of a laugh in her words, but she’s resting her head against Roger’s shoulder and he wraps an arm around her.

“Same focus.” Roger muses, and when Ash looks to him, surprise and confusion on her face, he just grins. “When you sew, you’ve got the same look on your face, same focus.” He explains, and there’s something in Ash’s awed expression that he can’t place, and she pulls away from him too fast for him to really identify it.

She’s pretty sure she loves him.

It’s fucking terrifying.

She can’t look at him, stepping out of his grip as she feels tears well in her eyes as her emotions overwhelm her, not that it’s an uncommon occurrence, Ash has never set foot in an art gallery and not cried, but Roger didn’t need to know that. She’d really been doing well today, too. Usually she gets lost in the scope and detail of The Wedding at Cana, or even comes to obsess over the little details of The Lacemaker, but she’s also usually alone and can get away with it. 

“That’s- Rog, that’s really sweet of you to say.” And he can hear in her voice that she’s trying not to believe him, that she can’t let herself believe him. And when she turns back, she’s wiping at her eyes, and he wants to try and comfort her, but she’s already walking past him briskly, leading to the next painting.

“There’s something I’ve... well, I’ve always wanted to try here.” He hears her say, voice firm as if she’s trying to move quickly past whatever the moment she’d just had was. She leads not to the painting, but to one of the weirdly low, backless sofas that are scattered around for people to view the paintings from. This one’s empty; Ash looks around for security, and seeing none, steps up onto it. 

“And what’s that?” He asks with a smirk, the sofa giving her only about two inches of height on him. He doesn’t ask why she’d almost started crying, and for that she’s thankful. Instead, his hands come to rest on her hips, and he’s smiling at her in that way that sets her heart aflutter.

“Don’t ruin this.” She warns very quietly, amused smile on her lips, and Roger quirks an eyebrow.

“Ruin what?” He asks, shooting for innocent, a million different things running through his mind that could make her smile, but would definitely ruin the moment; he bites his tongue. 

Ash cups his face in her hands, and she can’t help but laugh as she leans in to kiss him. It starts sweet and tender, her lips soft against his, but he wraps his arms around her, pulling her close and deepening the kiss. There’s people moving around them, most ignoring them, some stare, but neither of them seem to care. She tastes mostly like the tea she’d sculled in the car when they’d arrived, and she’s got a hand in his hair when he presses kisses from her jaw, trailing down her neck, and she laughs, a little giddy. He pulls back, if only to see her bright eyed and blushing. 

“Let’s go home.” She says softly, and Roger’s never agreed to something so quickly, his heart elated to see Ash giggling and mischievous as they backtrack through the gallery, knowing that he and the art were the things that made her smile like that. 

“I didn’t ruin it.” He sounds a little smug when he says it as they walk through the streets of Paris back to his car, and Ash glances at him out of the corner of her eye, snorting.

“I could see you holding yourself back from a one-liner about pinning masterpieces to walls or something like that; I appreciate your discretion.” She tells him, deadpan, and Roger gives her a self-satisfied grin.

“It certainly wasn’t easy.” He agrees, but she still reaches out and takes his hand. When they get to his car, he goes to head around to the driver’s side, but she pulls him back for a moment, pressing a kiss to his lips. After a moment, he’s got a hand on her hips, pressing her against the side of the car, and she sighs against his lips, her arms around his neck. Her legs slide open easily as she pulls him closer, letting him slide a knee between her thighs.

“Christ,” Roger breaks away from the kiss, murmuring the word against her neck as her nails graze his scalp.

“Thank you for today.” She whispers softly, and he can hear the smile in her words. He presses a kiss to her shoulder.

“Any time, love.” He steps back from her, enough to see her fond smile, and to give one in return, before he heads around to the driver’s side and they both get in the car.

It’s well past midnight by the time they get back, and Ash follows Roger up to his flat with a yawn, flinching as the door opens and Brian, Freddie, and John all greet them with a cheer, obviously taking a pit stop in the middle of their pub crawl.

“I was starting to sober up; the walk between the last pub and the next is directly smack bang in the middle of here.” Freddie claims with a surprising amount of confidence considering his words make no sense.

“No- this place is on the way to the next pub.” John corrects, and Ash has to giggle at the sight and sound of a drunk John Deacon. It never fails to amuse her, he’s surprisingly confident and well spoken.

“Yes! Deaky is right! You two can join us!” Freddie brandishes and subsequently spills on Brian, who’s sitting beside him.

“Go if you want, I’m knackered.” Ash yawns, giving Roger’s shoulder a nudge, moving past him to his room.

“Actually, I think I’m right, I’ve been driving for a while,” Roger says, making to follow Ash, only to hear Freddie boo loudly, and John call out after them.

“Where’d you guys go?” He asks, and Roger answers over his shoulder.

“Art gallery.” He answers, and he hears Ash snort from his bedroom.

“That’s... Rog, that’s surprisingly cute, didn’t know you had it in you.” Brian smiles at him, and Roger feels a little patronised by the pride in his flatmate’s voice. He flips Brian off, along with the rest of them, since John was grinning like the cat who got the cream and Freddie looked like he was three seconds away from actually ‘awe’ing. 

“Did you kids have fun?” Freddie calls, sounding nothing so much like his own mother, wearing a shiteating grin, which only got wider as Roger told him to piss off, slamming the door once he got into his room. 

Ash was standing by his bed, pulling off the shorts she’d been wearing all day, already wearing one of his shirts. Roger can hear the others on the other side of the door already laughing and talking about something else, all three of them trying to convince themselves to get up and move on to the next pub. She gives him an amused smile and Roger just rolls his eyes at his friends’ whole situation.

They don’t speak, though Ash’s yawn triggers one in Roger, and when he’s stripped down to his boxers, she’s waiting for him beneath the covers. When he kisses her, it’s a thank you for the day, and she hums a soft, contented noise against his lips. They’re too tired to even fool around, and Ash wraps her arm around him as he turns to lay on his side, pressing her chest to his back, pressing a kiss to his shoulder blade before they fall asleep.

ok i want to talk about my cookie run ocs so i will but below the cut because thats just how it be sdkljklsjklea (im going to TRY not blab out everything i think so then if you want you can send asks)

FROG!! 

ok so hes a liddol baby . he likes to hang out with sand ! theyre best friends and sometimes go to beaches and other places together. he’s very sweet and a little quiet. just a baby.

speaking of sand here they are!!! they dont talk much but when they do it sometimes freaks cookies out due to it being a drippy sand hole like

frog doesnt care about it too much . sometimes he tries to put sticks or something in their mouth just to see what’d happen. sand just eats the stick

rabbit’s foot is ! very lucky to say the least. hes also pretty gullible and easily fall for tricks but due to his luck they never seem to work out. very rarely does something harmful happen to him, though things like disappointing or saddening other cookies can happen. 

SPEAKING of disappointing or saddening cookies... fun dip! he’s often disappointed due to his tricks not working on rabbit’s foot but that only motivates him more. someone once said he looks like he’d be gumballs brother and honestly that’d be a chaotic pair of siblings (while im hesitant about canon relations with ocs..... who cares????). so yeah fun dip and gumball are brothers. 

rabbit’s foot is very much like a young child (though he is aware of a lot of things, he just has a personality alike to a young child. not a brain alike to a young child) and fun dip is a goofball prankster.

almond is very grumpy and they want to be a powerful wizard . honestly if they knew how to contact de or find her they would. also they are very emotional but tend to bottle it up (becuase in their tags on their ref its like “bad boy or crybaby” and i was like ‘’ok both’’). 

they dont hang around cookies often

and now for your local gamer boy. basically mlg jokes all the way around. mtn dew cookie references all that old stuff! theyre likely aware of other things too but theyre like “ah, nah, no thanks bro lolololol” and somehow they have that one robotic male voice? you know  the one in all of cowbelly’s videos that reads the memes? yeah that one. idk how to describe it

they also live off of doritos! besides their pet because it’s kind of obvious that’s a different dorito (plus g4m3r br0 has been existing for a while so it’d taste bad)

(mtn dew cookie is pangender)

garlic cooky! hes a dad and he’s married but that was on ponytown . i made him when me, kiley, and jamie decided to make a lil oc family . kiley made bread cookie his husband and jamie made butter, their daughter. garlic cookie had a very chaotic family when we all actualy messed around on there !

he also adopted some one’s herb pony on ponytown who acted very feral . we joked about dog with a blog because garlic called him the family dog . garlic cookie thinks toe toe (what he named the feral herb) is a dog unironically. like legit. also he’s a vampire ! he’s allergic to himself but isn’t dead yet somehow.

i could talk more about his family but yeah ! 

ravioli ravioli give me the formuoli (this oc was made on ponytown as well ! she acts like plankton) 

she is a gremlin. pretty small. why is there so much evil in you, little cookie? also i was playing with styles in that doodle so like  ? if you want me to draw in that style a bit more then just mention it

ngl i dont like how i doodled corn dog in that one but! corn dog is a baseball player and she’s very much ur classic jock. but nicer. she will want to play with you no matter what you want to play she loves ball games ! considering shipping her with orange cookie for some reason idk why but. if you want corn dog x orange then ig just ask for it sdkljdsljskl ;) i might doodle it too. corn dog x orange x lime? maybe but probably not since it seems like lime would get too jealous too easily

ASIDE from ships i really like how i first drew corn dog

what i struggled with with my doodle was her hair and i need to practice that a bit so i might look up things to practice with that ;-O

birthday cake ! he is chaotic party. very energetic. i completely imagine him whacking his face right into cake at a birthday party like if u gave him the 2nd anniversary cake his message would just be like. “*SPLAT* feels good on my face!” just to make it obvious he threw his face into the cake. also he has eyes he just likes to cover them up. maybe he’s blind but i based the blind fold thing off of terezifjseakljklw jklfjkldjkl jfkljwlkjioKLSJKLFJEKLRwer

gasoline cookie! i only made this character just recently on ponytown. he is very tired and lacking energy and is overall soggy in a sense. party pooper and very serious. i made this guy because i was joking like “if there were a gasoline they’d have a tension with fire spirit thats like ‘’DONT DRINK MY HAIR’’ or something” and then i made him

JAM!!!! they are my baby child and i love them a lot! i even made a blog for them but idk if its still up uhhh @cookiestuckinspace ! send asks there if you’d like i guess? the blog is very dead.  mtn dew is also there! there’s also unicorn cookie but i didn’t draw her.

they are a very sweet cookie who wishes to befriend many aliens! they’ve learned many languages and often mixes things up (as in, like, you know, accidentally saying an alien idiom in english or an english idiom in alien, forgetting words from either language then trying to describe it then BAM remembering. probably said an alien idiom in ANOTHER alien language while speaking in an english conversation). they know plenty of written languages and honestly? they try so hard to make sure every one is heard. theyre not very professional and theyre kinda bad at driving a ship 

whcih is why they let their space buddy drive the ship! yeah their dog, buddy, drives a spaceship. its funky but their dog is literally a spaceship itself.

phoenix!!! i only made him because.... on ponytown there was a mythical beast cult. he likes bugs and orange juice i think? capri suns? i dont know but i think he’s had a drink from a juice box before. theres not much about him but! yeah

RYE COOKIE! hes not really exactly a cookie. more like bread than gingerbread, if you catch what i’m throwing. jam tries really hard to be his friend but he doesnt speak any of hte languages jam knows and jam is trying really hard to figure out what he speaks so they can be friends.

thats all i guess ! please send asks about them or say “would ___ and ___ be friends?” i like to think about the relationships my ocs would have with each other ! 

heres the image i posted earlier with all my ocs with their names! if you read through this then i love you and have a good day <3
