flower of choice: orange blossoms

orange blossoms symbolise eternal love and marriage, and they are often used in wedding ceremonies as symbols of purity and eternal love

You suppose it all started on your first Valentine’s Day in Twisted Wonderland.

As a member of the Mostro Lounge staff, you found yourself amidst the bustling atmosphere of the Mostro Lounge, where Azul's ambitious plans to capitalize on the love-filled holiday were in full swing. The lounge pulsated with the presence of couples occupying every available table.

Soft, dim lighting cast a warm glow over the space, enveloping everything in an air of intimacy and mystery. The gentle hum of conversation and laughter filled the air, mingling with the smooth melodies of jazz music drifting from hidden speakers.

Couples nestled into plush velvet booths, their faces illuminated by the soft light, lost in each other's eyes and whispers. Waiters moved gracefully between tables, delivering trays adorned with exotic beverages and plates of delectable meals, their steps silent against the plush carpeting.

But what caught your eye the most were the bouquets given to significant others, adorning the tables like precious jewels. Each one was a masterpiece in its own right, meticulously selected and arranged to convey the deepest sentiments of adoration.

"It must be nice receiving flowers…" you murmured to yourself, lost in thought.

“You would like to receive flowers?”

You snapped your head around at the sound of Jade's voice, finding him with a curious expression on his face. Surprise flickered in your eyes at his question, but a smile bloomed on your lips as you considered receiving flowers from someone.

“Yeah," you replied, a hint of longing in your voice, "who wouldn't? Receiving gifts makes you feel so appreciated. Plus, who wouldn't be happy looking at something pretty?"

Jade took a moment to mull over your words, his gaze thoughtful. Eventually, he nodded in agreement. "Hmm… I see. That does sound quite lovely," he acknowledged.

The conversation was quickly cut short when new orders and tasks arrived. In the whirlwind of never-ending tasks, the conversation had slipped from your mind almost entirely, until he appeared later that week, returning from a hiking trip with a delightful surprise in tow.

"Here, Prefect," he began, his voice gentle as he produced a bouquet of orange blossoms from behind his back. "These are for you," he offered with a soft smile.

The bouquet was a sight to behold, a delicate ensemble of ivory-hued blooms that exuded an ethereal beauty. Each flower boasted star-shaped petals, arranged in a symmetrical fashion around a central cluster of stamens. These stamens, adorned with tips of yellow to orange hues, stood out like tiny flames amidst the pristine white petals, adding a touch of vibrant colour to the otherwise pure palette. With their intricate details and subtle fragrance, the orange blossoms seemed to radiate a quiet elegance, captivating all who beheld their serene charm.

You couldn't help but notice the faintest flush of pink tinting his ears, and your own heart skipped a beat in response. You were well aware of the symbolism behind orange blossoms—eternal love and marriage. But surely, Jade couldn't mean that, could he?

"You brought these for me?" you asked, a mix of surprise and delight colouring your tone.

Jade nodded, a warmth spreading through him at your delight. "Yes, I thought you might like them," he admitted softly.

As you accepted the bouquet, a rush of emotions flooded over you. The delicate scent of the orange blossoms enveloped you, filling your senses with a sweet, intoxicating aroma. Mesmerized, you found yourself unable to look away from the vibrant blooms, each one a masterpiece of nature, without a single flaw in sight.

Jade's gaze remained fixed on yours, his expression tender and sincere. It was as though he was studying your reaction with unwavering attention, and a flutter of anticipation stirred in your chest at the vulnerability he revealed.

"Thank you, Jade," you said, your voice barely above a whisper but filled with sincerity. "These are beautiful."

A relieved smile spread across Jade's face, his eyes alight with a mixture of joy and relief. "I'm glad you like them," he murmured, his voice tinged with warmth.

Though you’re not sure why, Jade had made it a habit to always bring back a bouquet of orange blossoms for you from his hiking trips.

"It doesn't really bother me," he'd say with a closed-eye smile, "since it's on the way."

Each time he presented you with the blooms, your heart fluttered with joy. Yet, you hesitated to believe there were underlying intentions behind his gift. After all, Jade had always been kind to you, and you couldn't fathom the idea of him harbouring romantic feelings.

As the end of his third year at NRC approached, a bittersweet anticipation filled the air. The impending farewell weighed heavy on your heart, mingling with a sense of melancholy. Although Jade promised to visit during breaks and holidays, the thought of no longer seeing him every day stung with loneliness.

Summer break was nearing, and the campus was buzzing with students bidding farewells and exchanging hugs. Amidst the flurry of goodbyes, Jade sought you out, as he always did, with a bouquet of orange blossoms cradled in his arms. His smile was tinged with a hint of sadness as he approached you, and you felt a lump form in your throat at the sight of him.

"These are for you," he said softly, his voice barely above a whisper as he handed the flowers to you.

You accepted the bouquet with trembling hands, the weight of the moment settling heavily upon you. The sweet fragrance of the orange blossoms enveloped you like a comforting embrace, but it did little to dispel the sorrow that threatened to consume you.

"Thank you, Jade," you managed to say, your voice choked with emotion.

“I... I don’t wish for this to be the last time I give you flowers,” he confessed softly, his eyes searching yours with earnest sincerity. “Will you really not consider marriage with me?"

A heavy silence hung between you, each moment feeling weighted with unspoken words and unexpressed feelings. Then, Jade reached out to cup your cheek, guiding your gaze to meet his.

Caught off guard by his heartfelt plea, your eyes widened in astonishment. "Jade, I... I never realized... You…"

"But you knew, didn't you? You must have..." Jade's voice trembled with vulnerability. "Every flower, every gesture—it was all for you."

Your mind raced, memories flashing before your eyes like a vivid tapestry woven from moments shared together. Each bouquet, each flower—he had poured his heart into every gesture, his feelings hidden in plain sight all along.

Tears shimmered in your eyes as understanding washed over you like a gentle wave crashing upon the shore. The pieces of the puzzle fell into place, and you realized the depth of his devotion, the sincerity of his love.

“Yes, Jade," you whispered, your voice barely above a breath but filled with certainty. "Yes, a thousand times, yes."

The next thing you know, his lips are pressed against yours in a tender, passionate embrace. In that fleeting moment, the world around you faded into insignificance, leaving only the warmth of his touch, the sweetness of his kiss, and the promise of a love that would endure through every trial and triumph.

Hello hello! Can I request something to do with a scenario where the reader wants to go to the coral sea so they challenge a twin or azul to a casual (calculated) bet and miraculously win?

and the prize is a strand of hair from the merman to be used in the mer potion for your underwater travels. But this happened before you knew they weren't regular mers but actually eels/octopus mers so much to their amusement you got a different result from what you were expecting

im doing the reaction after bc this is lowkey funny lmao. short bc i need my beauty sleep lol

reader is not yuu, gender neutral reader

so you win the bet, huh? good job, prefect.

the potion you brewed had been perfect so far, now all you had to do was to add a mer's hair.

the result was not what you expected though.

azul was shocked (and kind of flustered) to see you turned into an octomer in front of his eyes.

for a second there, he considered reassuring you with his mer form, but he hesitated.

what if you don't like how he looks? would you feel disgusted? scorn him? insult him? or would you leave him like the others like done before-

he was cut off by your curious stare as you swam to him. turns out he already shifted back to his mer form.

he felt his hand being tugged by you as you asked him to lead the way. and of course, he agreed. how could he possibly refuse when you smile so brightly at him like that?

as promised, he went along on your little exploration. the whole time he was sneaking glances at your giddy face, and he found himself smiling as well. he felt accepted.

he did his little amused chuckle when he saw your skin turned a pale teal colour.

you looked so much like a young little mermaid there, prefect. confused and innocent. perhaps he could help you.

you then found jade in his mer form swimming closer to you with his usual close eyed smile. this time, it felt more genuine than the ones he gives the customers on a daily basis.

"well, shall we explore, dear prefect?" he said, taking your hand in his clawed one.

you had a fun time learning about the ocean ecosystem. and of course, jade's eyes were on you the entire time, his smile softened as he watched you float from place to place.

shrimpy is an eelmer like him now!

has stars in his eyes when your form shifted, and wasted no time shifted into his mer form to tackle you.

probably nearly squeezed the oxygen out of your lungs out of excitement before he coiled his tail around yours, pulling you into a softer, warmer hug this time.

he couldn't possibly call you shrimpy when you look like this. you'd need another nickname! eventually he settled with calling you lil' eel or his lil' fishy.

you both had the time of your life racing through the ocean floor and chasing schools of fishes. floyd was cackling even after you turned back to your human forms.

floyd loves seeing you being in this mer form, so if you wanted to do this again for another time, you can ask him!

All my Pressure ocs / scrapped designs!

Number 1: Dune D.

He was my first oc, though I don't draw him as much anymore :(((

Number 2: Dylan (First design)

This was my second oc, and which I never really liked sadly, and his design was scrapped + the palette I used as reference.

Number 3: Dylan Dallimore (Getting closer to the final design...)

Scrapped the shirt because I decided to make this original character plenty of angst! Though in canon, he'd wear this shirt XD + Sketch

Number 4: Dylan Dallimore (Pre-final design)

This is his pre-final design (Before I decided to make his design more fun than anatomy based, I really love chubby cheeks!), and I decided to use more diverse brushes that I found on Pinterest!

Number 5: Dylan Dallimore (Final Design)

So, let's get it with the *Lore*...*rubs hands*

Anyways, let's start with appearance!

Species: Fish. DNA mixed with Betta fish, Ribbon eel (Since Dylan has both Female and Male DNA, and ribbon eels change colour according to what gender they become as they're older, I mixed both blue and yellow by using a brush, thus getting his skin tone), Viper fish, Blobfish, Atlantic pygmy octopus, Sea bunny, female Blue Whale (Ex-human/ lab experiment) (Might change once I get everything figured out!)

Some lil' quirks of his:

• This big ol' water balloon has soft bones and squishy skin (Blob fish DNA), thus making it harder to actually damage him by hits, and in some cases, bullets!

• Because of his Female (Female whales are smaller, and if he had Male whale DNA, he'd be **MASSIVE**) whale DNA, Dylan has gained quite a few pounds because of it (Teddy bear incarnate RAHHH)

• Dylan is both colourblind (Because of his octopus and whale DNA) and partially mute (Those damn experiments ruined his vocal cords), and only let's out random noises as expression of what he wants

• Was a HUUUGE emo kid when he was younger, and still kinda is, but now leans more on "Scene" (He would have loved Odetari or 6arelyhuman lol)

• Was (and still is) great friends with Sebastian since childhood, mostly because they both had similar interests, etc.!

I will write his backstory once I have done his ref sheet!

Rainbow Madness

Summary: While riding a roller coaster, Mario gets a little bit too much reminded of a certain Rainbow Road incident. Takes place sometime after the movie.

TW: Panic attack

Characters: Mario, Luigi, Mia, Pio, Tony, Arthur, Sofia (Mario and Luigi's little niece)

“I wanna go on that one!”, Sofia exclaimed excitedly, bouncing on her feet as she pointed to a massive roller coaster that extended high into the sky towering over all the other roller coasters that were nearby. It was her 10th birthday so the whole family had agreed to do something a little bit more special than usual to celebrate it.

Since they all knew how much she loved the Mushroom Kingdom ever since Mario and Luigi took her and the rest of the family there to show them around and how much she loved amusement parks, they agreed that combining these two things together would make a good birthday present for her.

So, Mario had asked Peach if amusement parks existed in the Mushroom Kingdom. Peach had looked at him confused at first but after explaining the concept, her face lit up and she informed him that the Mushroom Kingdom indeed had something like an amusement park albeit under a different name.

Now it was him, Luigi, Uncle Arthur, Uncle Tony, mom, dad, and Sofia walking through the FunMush park. They played various games, went on different rides, and tried food which they had never heard of before. It was nice and everyone was having fun. Aunt Marie hadn’t been able to come with them as she had fallen sick. Sofia was sad at first that her mother couldn’t come with them, but that sadness vanished as soon as they set foot in the FunMush park.

Sofia was still bouncing on her feet as she looked at them excitingly.

“Sure, thing sweety we can go on that one”, Uncle Arthur said, laughing. “Who’s coming with us?”

“As if you even have to ask”, Uncle Tony responded with a smirk. “Mario, Luigi you coming too?”

“Of course”, Luigi said without hesitation. Just like Marilyn, Mario could see the excitement radiating off his brother. Despite of everything that Luigi was afraid of, his brother loved roller coasters. Mario normally enjoyed them too but today he couldn’t help but feel uneasy whenever they went on one. Up to that point, all the roller coasters had been relatively small. Still, memories of the Rainbow Road fiasco resurfaced whenever he found himself on one of those rides, but it was manageable.  

Now looking at this big roller coaster that was a few feet away from them, made the knot in his stomach that had been there ever since the first ride he went on today, grow even more. It absolutely didn’t help that the roller coaster was very bright and colourful itself.

Mario swallowed thickly but immediately recovered when he saw his whole family staring at him as they still waited for an answer from him. He forced himself to smile. “Yeah, sure I’m coming too.”

It was probably going to be fine anyway. It was only a roller coaster. He would survive a ride on this even if it made him uncomfortable. He never told his family about the Rainbow Roadpart of his adventure not even Luigi. It was a part of his journey that he’d rather forget, the feeling of terror when the explosion threw him off the road and the feeling of hopelessness and despair when he and DK were swallowed by that eel was not something he was eager to voice out loud.

Besides it was probably nothing in comparison to what his brother had to endure during those three days. His family didn’t need to worry about him too when Luigi was already clearly struggling because of everything that happened. It was fine. He could deal with it himself. He pointedly ignored the voice that told him that he hadn’t slept a full night since he came back because he had nightmares about either the Rainbow Road incident, Luigi dying or Bowser beating him up or some combinations of those scenarios that way too often involved that Luigi somehow got hurt or died because he was unable to protect him. Or that he once almost had a panic attack when there had been a sudden loud noise. Or that one time when Luigi came back home a bit later than he’d said he would. Or-

“Mia, Pio are you coming as well?” Uncle Arthur asked, pulling Mario out of his racing thoughts. “I think we rather sit this one out”, his mom said with a smile. “But you go and have fun. We’ll be waiting just right next by the exit of the ride.”

“Well then let’s go!”, Uncle Arthur cheered. Sofia let out a happy squeak before she was running off on her own. Uncle Arthur laughed following her right behind. “C’mon”, Uncle Tony waved, signalling for Mario and Luigi to follow too.

They made their way through the crowd and before Mario knew it, they were right in front of the roller coaster. Uncle Arthur and Sofia were already standing in line waving them over as soon as they saw them.

Only now that they were right in front of the roller coaster, made Mario realize just how big it was; It was towering over them, its twists and turns extending high into the sky and the colours were dizzyingly bright. It made his heart beat faster but not in a good way.

Mario’s heart felt like it would stop when he got a look of the name of the roller coaster. “Rainbow Madness” was written in the same bright colours as the roller coaster was itself. This had to be a joke. Because of course the name would have a remarkable resemblance to the thing he absolutely didn’t want to think about. Just perfect. It did not help with his growing uneasiness at all.

The nearer it was their turn for the ride, the worse it got. He clapped his fingers together in a nervous manner and he could feel a cold sweat forming on his brows.

His uneasiness must’ve been more visible than he thought because Luigi suddenly nudged him gently into his side. “You okay?”, he asked in a concerned tone but silent enough so that others wouldn’t hear him. “I’m fine”, he waved his brother off. Luigi didn’t seem to be convinced. “Are you sure? You’re really tense”, he pressed again. “Yeah, of course”, Mario smiled this time in the hopes that it was enough to convince his brother that he was fine.

Luigi looked like he wanted to say something more but before he could do it, the line cleared up and it was their turn.

Mario climbed into the seat next to Luigi while Sofia and Uncle Arthur took a seat together behind them and Uncle Tony a seat behind those two. Then the safety harness clicked into place. His heart started to race even more now that he knew that there was no going back. It was okay. It was only a roller coaster nothing bad would happen while riding it, he told himself.

The roller coaster suddenly gave a jolt, and before Mario knew it, the ride began its way up the steep descent. His breathing quickened even though he tried to remain calm. It was okay, he told himself over and over again. It was only barely working. He gripped the safety harness tighter as the ride went up higher and higher. This had been a bad idea. He should’ve just stayed down and made up some excuse why he wasn’t coming on the ride. Just as they were about to reach the peak of the ride, a loud bang echoed through the park and Mario’s heart dropped and his breath got caught in his throat.

And then he was falling. His ears were ringing, he couldn’t hear anything. The explosion had been deafening. He was falling. He was going to die. He was going to die without being able to safe his brother. Luigi was going to die because of him. Their family would never know what happened to them. They would never know it was his fault.

He was falling and he was going to die and there was nothing that he could do about it and why was it so hard to breathe and oh god he was still falling, was this never going to end-

“Mario!”

Mario gasped for air as his surroundings came vaguely back into focus. He was on a roller coaster that was moving at a breakneck speed was the first thing he realized. The second thing, he realized was that he wasn’t breathing right. He was choking and he could barely get enough air in.

It’s gonna be okay, just hang on!”, a voice shouted next to him, but Mario could barely hear it over his own heartbeat. The roller coaster took its twists and turns, and Mario could do nothing more than to just hold on.  

He squeezed his eyes shut, clutching the safety bar of the roller coaster as if it was a lifeline. His breathing was still too fast, making it hard to get enough air into his lungs. Dizziness was washing over him, and he felt like he would pass out at any moment.

Suddenly the roller coaster came to a screeching halt, and everything stopped. Somebody took him by the arm, nudging him to stand up but his legs felt like jelly. They only supported him for a few steps, and he would have collapsed on the ground if it hadn’t been for the person’s firm grip on him.

He was being led away a few steps before he was being gently lowered down to the floor. Everything was spinning, his chest felt like it was too tight making it impossible to get enough air in. His hands gripped at his chest, pulling at his shirt. He needed it off, he needed room to breathe, he needed-

A hand touched his shoulder shortly, but it was enough to make him flinch.

“Hey”, the voice suddenly spoke again. “Hey breathe with me. Just follow my lead.”

“In. Hold it. Out.”

Mario tried desperately to do as he was told, but the air just wouldn’t fill his lungs. He coughed and choked.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, try again.”

“In.” Mario took a shaky breath in. “Hold it.” He held it for a few seconds. “Out.” Mario breathed out again.

“Good, very good. Try again.”

Mario did. He did it again and again until he was finally able to breathe normally.

That was when his surroundings finally came back into focus. Luigi was kneeling only a few inches in front of him, concern and fear clearly written over his face.

A little bit more behind standing, were Uncle Tony, Uncle Arthur, his parents and Sofia. They had the same concerned expression while Sofia looked scared, clutching Uncle Arthur’s hand. Oh. Oh no.

“You back with us bro?”, Luigi asked in a soft tone.

Giving a shaky nod was all that Mario was capable of. His throat felt like it was on fire making it impossible to form any words. He felt completely exhausted. It was as if all his energy just got sucked out.

Mario could hear footsteps and then his mom was kneeling right in front of him too. She put her hand on his cheek which made him instinctively lean into it. He felt like he could fall asleep right there.

“What happened tesoro? Are you okay?”, his mom’ s concerned voice brought him out of his haziness. She gave him the same worried look as Luigi.

Mario opened his mouth to give a respond, but his throat still hurt too much to speak. And if he was being honest with himself, what would he even say? He didn’t want to tell what actually happened. He would only ruin Sofia’s birthday even more than he already had, and he would make his family unnecessarily worry about something that he shouldn’t even be struggling with. But he was also physically and emotionally too exhausted to come up with a lie.

“Mario?”

His mom looked even more worried than before which made Mario realize that he must have stayed silent for a bit too long. He gave her a smile and a quick thumbs up to signal her that everything was fine, but it was clear that she and Luigi didn’t believe him.

“Mario-“, Luigi started this time but Mario interrupted him.

“I’m fine”, Mario pressed the words out. It hurt but it was necessary to convince Luigi and his mom that he was fine enough to continue because he really didn’t want to ruin Sofia’s birthday completely and he certainly didn’t want to talk about anything that happened back there.

Luigi and his mom still didn’t look convinced, but they seemed to understand that Mario wouldn’t talk, so they didn’t press any further.

“Alright. Then let’s go back to the others”, his mom said. She gave his shoulder one last comforting squeeze before she stood up.

Luigi got up from his kneeling position too, extending a hand towards him to help him stand up as well. Mario gratefully took it. His legs still felt wobbly, but it wasn’t as bad as it was before. Together they walked to where Uncle Tony, Uncle Arthur, Sofia and his dad were standing.

They all looked worried but before anybody could say anything, his mom spoke up: “Everything’s okay now.” She gave them a pointed look that clearly said, “no asking questions” and Mario was glad for that. Then she turned to Sofia with a smile. “Say, Sofia what do you want to do next?” At that Sofia immediately brightened up as she pointed to the next thing she wanted to do.

The rest of the family joined and so the day continued. Mario tried to be joyful during the whole time, forcing himself to smile and laugh whenever Sofia pulled him and the rest of the family into new games to try out.

While he knew that Luigi and his mom could probably look right through him as they kept a close eye on him, he hoped that at least the others wouldn’t be able to. Though from time to time he could see that even his father gave him a concerned look, so it didn’t seem that he was doing a convincing job. He was so tired. All he wanted to do was lay down in a bed and sleep forever.

Finally, the day came slowly to an end. The sun had already begun to sink behind the horizon as they went back home. Since Aunt Marie was sick, it was his mom who took over with cooking. She prepared spaghetti with meatballs as Sofia had wished for her birthday.

After dinner there was cake that Aunt Marie had already baked the day before. Sofia was still in high spirits even though it was starting to get late and even though they spent the whole day at the FunMush park.

Mario though for his part felt very tired. Not having been able to sleep through a whole night, either because of his own or Luigi’s nightmares, since he was back plus the panic attack from today, really made the exhaustion catch up with him for good. So not long after the cake but also not too short to seem unpolite, Mario excused himself.

Nobody said anything against it, not even Uncle Arthur or Uncle Tony teased him about getting to bed ‘quite early for someone his age’, which probably meant that he must’ve looked as bad as he felt. They all just wished him a good night and then Mario was finally alone in his and Luigi’s room.  

He put on his pyjamas, brushed his teeth, and crawled under his bed sheets, ready to just fall asleep and forget everything that happened today when the door to the room opened. Mario didn’t even need to open his eyes to know that it was Luigi.

The light was turned on, footsteps could be heard before he felt the bed dip beside him. A hand touched his shoulder.

“Hey”, Luigi began in a soft tone. There was a longer pause before he continued, seemingly needing to gather his thoughts first. “You- This afternoon on that roller coaster- you really freaked out there. It really scared me too. What happened? I’ve never seen you like this.”

Mario took a few seconds before he finally turned around to face his brother. There was nothing but concern written over his face. He knew he couldn’t lie. He was in no state to pretend that everything was fine, and Luigi already knew that something was wrong. But he also really didn't want to talk about it. He didn’t need Luigi to worry about additional things when he already had enough to deal with himself.

But then again, he knew that he would need to talk about it at some point because he knew that Luigi would absolutely worry if he didn’t talk about it. Mario sighed. Better get it over with now.

Mario sat up so that he was able to face his brother.

“I guess”, he started, “this roller coaster just reminded me of the whole Rainbow Road fiasco.”

“Cranky- DK’s father- suggested using karts to quickly return to the Mushroom Kingdom via a shortcut so that we could ambush Bowser and his troop during their attack”, Mario explained. “The shortcut was a rainbow road. Literally. It was a rainbow that served as a road. It was unbelievable.”

Mario paused and took moment to gather his thoughts. He didn’t know why it was so hard to form into words what happened back there. Still, he forced himself to continue.

“So”, Mario went on, “it turns out that Bowser knew we were going that route and his troop ambushed us instead. The whole chase was crazy. It kinda felt like being on a roller coaster.”

Mario took a deep breath.

“We did almost manage to escape them. But then a blue-shelled koopa flew towards us and exploded right on me and DK. I don’t know how, and I honestly try not to think about it”, he chuckled but there was no humour to it. “Anyway, the road broke and we were falling. I thought I was gonna- but then we hit the water. Which was good I guess until we were eaten by a gigantic eel.”

Not wanting to go into more detail, Mario just carried on. “But of course we made it out and yeah. That was that.” Not really knowing what to say anymore, he stopped talking.

“Whoa.” Was all that Luigi said.

“But it’s okay, I’m fine-“

“No you’re not”, interrupted Luigi. “Are you even listening to yourself? You had a panic attack today because of what experienced on that rainbow road. You are clearly not fine.” There was no anger in Luigi’s voice. It was like he was just stating a fact.

Mario’s first instinct was to protest that he was fine, but he paused. He did have frequently nightmares about it even though it was not the only event he had nightmares about. The panic attack today didn’t make things better. He was tired. He was so so tired.

Luigi took gently his hands into his. “I’m sorry I didn’t notice you were struggling this much. I-“

“No, Luigi, no!” Mario couldn’t help but stop Luigi right there. “It’s not your fault, you weren’t even supposed to know. You have enough struggles yourself you don’t need to be burdened with mine.”

Luigi gave him a sad look.

“We can take care of each other”, he said. “You don’t always have to be strong you know. I’m here for you too just like you are for me.”

Before Mario knew it, he started trembling. Everything was just too much. A lump started to form in his throat and his eyes started to burn. He swallowed but the lump didn’t go away.

Warm arms enveloped him. He was being pulled close until Mario was buried into Luigi’s chest. The trembling intensified, and before he could stop it, the tears started to trail down his face. A hand started to stroke through his hair while Mario tried to focus on Luigi’s heartbeat to help get a hold of himself. It wasn’t working.

His body shook with his sobs, so he gave up and just let it go through the motions. Luigi held him the whole time, never once letting go.

When he finally managed to get a hold of himself, he felt even more tired which he didn’t think was possible. Mario didn’t have the strength to protest when Luigi laid him down and covered him with a blanket.

“Sleep. I think you really need it”, was the last thing he heard before he fell asleep.

Later that night, he awoke again from a nightmare. He shot up, trembling and shaking. It was hard to breathe, his throat was on fire like he was drowning. Like he was back in that cold water waiting to die, knowing Luigi would die too because he wouldn’t be able to save him-

And then warm arms were suddenly around him, holding him close very similar just like a few hours ago. “You’re okay”, Luigi said as he soothingly rubbed his back.

Mario didn’t say anything, he was just clinging to him until he was able to calm down. He vaguely realized that Luigi must have anticipated that there was a chance that he would be having a nightmare tonight. Mario had gotten used to wake up quietly after a nightmare so he wouldn’t wake up his brother and tonight hadn’t been any different.

So, either Luigi stayed up the whole time or he was just sleeping very lightly which often happened when he was worried about something. It was probably the latter one.

Finally, after who knows how long, Mario managed to calm down again. Still, he didn’t want to let go. He wasn’t ready to lose Luigi’s comforting touch just yet. He didn't… he didn’t want to sleep alone. He also didn’t want to voice all of these things because he didn’t want to inconvenient Luigi any further than he already had. Apparently, it wasn’t even necessary.

As if Luigi could read his mind, he took Mario by the hand and guided him over to his bed. No words were spoken, and they didn’t need to. Luigi gently laid them both down on the bed in a way that Mario was now laying on Luigi’s chest with arms wrapped protectively around him.

It was a weird position to be in. Normally Mario was the one who held Luigi like this. Arms wrapped protectively around him, letting his brother know that he was always there for him, giving him comfort and a sense of being protected. Being the one who was receiving this kind of hug now was definitively something he was not used to.

It felt good though. It felt good to be able to be vulnerable and knowing that somebody was there to hold you through it.

Mario closed his eyes and let sleep wash over him.

The new episode of Helluva Boss is killing me.

There is so much going on!

Spoilers under the cut.

I long had the suspicion that the demons that life in a ring, always look simular to the sin that rules the ring.

And after the new episode I am almost sure.

Quick example:

In the greed ring we have jester/clown demons that have fools hats and bells, aswell as a wildly variation of skin colours.

The ruler of the ring is Mammon, who looks very clownish aswell.

Then we have the gluttony ring with hellhounds.

The ruler of this ring is Beelzebub, which looks like a mixture of a hellhound and bee/insect.

The ring of envy, filled with all kinds of sea demons like fish, eel or squid looking once.

Ruled by Leviathan. She was first shown in the newest episode and also looks very aquatic.

The wrath ring from were our main character originate from. A ring were imps are at home.

This ring is ruled by Satan who appears to be a dragon. Which is plenty fun if you ask me, because it gives me the impression that imps might aswell be small dragons.

All imps (or most, since some seem to mix with other species) have red skin, striped horns and that non mistakeable dragon tail.

Just like Satan has. Some, like Blitzø for example, have spikes on their spines . Also just like Satan.

The ring of sloth.

Ruled by Belphegor. She appears to be a sheep or a goat.

Though she has no horns and wings like the people of her ring, the simularity is unmistakable.

The only exseption are Asmodeus and Lucifer.

Both dont look like their residents. Though that might be because Lucifer rules the pride ring that is full of sinners, which all look very different. Or maybe because they werent born in his ring, they do not share a simularity to his image.

Ozzie might aswell look so different from his succubi/inccubi because he is clearly shown as a Goetia.

Vivzie made him look more bird like, probaply to show clearly that he is a demon of the Ars Goetia.

I personaly think that adding some feathers here and there to the design of the succubi/inccubi whould have been really nice.

Ofcourse this is just a theorie but I think it could be likely to be canon.

When the Stars Align

Tides of Memories part 27

I had a lot of fun with this part, I feel like I reconnected with Julian and Altheia again, and moved the story on to a good place. It's the first of three climaxes to the past two years of work, with shenanigans and smut along the way. I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out :)

Summary

After an early birthday party in the newly-renovated rooftop garden, Julian and Altheia set sail for Nevivon aboard their new ship. But before the end of their voyage, the stars align, and Julian is able to put everything he has learnt about the sea, the stars, magic and himself, towards a spell that could change their lives forever.

This is effectively a loooonnnggg rewrite of the 'one month later' scene in Julian's route's epilogue, if you squint.

Excerpt

“I should be wearing something more… wizard-y,” he said as he worked.  “Don’t you think?” Altheia raised an amused eyebrow.  “‘Wizard-y’?” “Yes!  Like a robe.  Bright and gaudy colours.  Maybe a hat.” He smiled as he heard Altheia’s laugh.  “Brightly coloured robes and hats aren’t a requirement for magic use, my love.” “All the fortune tellers and magicians doing tricks in Goldgrave seem to think they are.” As Julian talked, he crossed the deck back to the desk and took the bottles of ink and four clean quills from the drawer. “That’s just for show,” Altheia said, humouring him.  “They’re just trying to attract customers, make a show of it.” “I suppose I don’t need to make a show when it’s just you and I, hmm?” “And I!” That voice, lilting and velvety, startled Julian so hard he nearly dropped the ink bottles.  He hurried back to where he’d laid out the papers, set the bottles down, and then leaned forward onto the stern rail.  There, narrow head raised a little out of the water, was the serpentine form of the Knight of Cups.  

“Oh!”  Julian exclaimed.  “It’s you!” “It is!” Something like a grin pulled the Knight’s lipless, jade-green mouth.  “I couldn’t keep my curiosity at bay, I’m afraid.” Julian suspected that wasn’t really the reason for the minor Arcana’s appearance.  “How are you here?  Shouldn’t you be in the Cups realm?  I thought the Arcana couldn’t travel between realms?” “Questions, questions!”  The Knight twirled in a circle as he chuckled.  “Did you forget?  Only the Major Arcana are so restricted.  The rest of us can travel as we please.  My realm is wherever there is water.  That’s why you’re here!  In the sea!  Well… not in the sea.  Floating on it.  But close enough.” Beside the Knight, two purple-blue betta fish the size of Julian’s torso suddenly jumped out of the water in an arc; Julian recognised them. “The Two of Cups, is it?” “Yes!  They’re here, too.” Julian thought back to a few weeks ago, when he’d pulled the Two of Cups from Asra’s tarot deck while travelling in a carriage with him.  Asra told him it represented the bond between Julian and Altheia, and realised that the strength of the bond was, in effect, the result of what had amounted to a deal between each other when they’d confessed their love for each other while chained by the Devil.  He realised then that neither the Knight nor the Two were there out of simple curiosity.   “The magic you seek relies on emotion,” the Knight said breezily.  “Yours and Altheia’s.  That’s why you’re here, on a ship, close to the realm of Cups, the realm of emotion.  Do you see?” Julian stared for a moment into the golden eyes of the Arcana.  “I… do.  I think.” The eel-like form of the Knight rose up out of the water, enough to be almost at eye level with Julian.  His gaze flicked down Julian’s body from head to foot and back again, and in an almost melancholic tone he said, “A shirt and trousers?  I would have gone for something with a little more… panache.” “Something wizard-y?  Brightly coloured robes?” “Yes!  And maybe a hat.” Julian turned and looked back at Altheia with a ‘told you so’ grin. 

The rest is on AO3 :)

MLP AU Plas and Woozy? UvU What do you think they'd be? (Can be a doodle request! Doesn't have to be though!)

Ok so I was chatting about this with some other plas fans the other day so here's my two cents.

Plas being a changeling makes perfect sense too me, while he was eel he had the darker colour scheme of the changelings under queen chrysalis' rule. After becoming the hero we all know and love he became one of the reformed changelings. Woozy meanwhile is an earth pony and the two are inseparable. Designing these two was so fun ^^ woozy's cutie mark was fun to come up with.

Hey Mera! I have a question, and sorry if this is a dumb one, but I recently read your yandere sk Floyd work for the lunar love event, and I was wondering um what colour is Stygian? Google said it’s a dark colour so is his hair just a darker shade of blue or is just rly dark, like almost black?Also, has his hair grown out a bit while he was in prison? Like by a bit or a lot? Sorry it’s just small curiosities but I was wondering what he would look like, (I’m not sure if you’ve posted something already talking about his appearance), I love the idea of (ex) prisoner Floyd and am thinking of drawing him so I just wanna know the juicy details (like any piercings or tattoos cause I’m a thirsty anon)

Hello!! It's not a dumb question at all. It is a word meaning "very dark," but it can also mean black or ebony. I pictured Floyd dying his hair black when I wrote it. I feel like he wears blue-colored contacts for all of a few days before he tires of that and switches to his regular contact lenses or maybe even glasses since moray eyesight is terrible. <3 thinking of Floyd with black hair and glasses... aaaa he's cute even if he's dangerous!!

But then appearance-wise, I think he'd definitely look more intimidating than adorable. I like to imagine he has sleeve tattoos on his arms. Maybe even an eel tattoo on his chest or curled around his bicep. It's fun to imagine him with tattoos that tie into his Coral Sea origins. Omg and maybe a tattoo referencing his unique magic "Bind the Heart"!!! Many thoughts... orz perhaps he even got some of the tattoos while he was in prison. He definitely has a shrimp tattoo or maybe he's tattooed your name onto him. Normally Floyd would find it boring or cheesy, but he's so devoted to you! If he can't have you physically pressed to him, then your name will suffice (for now).

As for piercings, I like to picture sk!Floyd with a dick piercing (while sk!Jade has his tongue piercing), but maybe that's irrelevant. ^^;;; his hair probably did grow in prison, unless if it was a regulation in the prison that his head had to be shaved. But pretending that that wasn't the case, Floyd probably cut his own hair while in prison (or attempted to with what little tools he could sneak back to his cell). He had to look nice and handsome for his interviews with Shrimpy, after all! <3 maybe he even likes the longer, messier-than-normal style when he escapes. Maybe he keeps it in a short, loose ponytail or maybe he complains about the hairstyle and cuts it back to his preferred length some time later. I think it really is mood-dependent for him. >_< but Floyd with Shinpei's hairstyle is so omg!!!!!

There are just so many possibilities with Mr. ex-prisoner sk!Floyd. :D if you do end up drawing him, I would love to see!!!!!

[the-kr8tor]

Okay I'm gonna be honest- I wrote dragon hobie with Mushu from Mulan in mind.. Daily Hobie HC! Both your kind and Hobie's shared the vast blue sea, the tales of true interactions between both are few too less, considering the high amount of similarities between merpeople and sirens. Fate has it that merpeople and sirens were just never meant to collide, yet it's been disproven many times, as relations like that weren't entirely uncommon, but was usually kept on the downlow due to some unspoken degradation. It's finally your turn to twist fate upon meeting a merperson, as a siren. Hobie Brown, possibly one of the most stunning mermans you've ever seen. His scales seem to shine with every colour imaginable under the sun, with some even being coated with some bioluminescent algae, giving off a blue glow. Despite the fact you were a siren, and he was a merman, you both would often be seen hanging out with each other, challenging one another to races to the shallows, or just simply lounging amongst the reefs as you both rambled on about whatever came to mind. Hobie always found you elegant in a way, as sirens are usually supposed to be. Sure, they may not have an array of colours for their tails unlike the merpeople, but he still found you mystifying. He liked to see your human form whenever you ran onto shore, while Hobie stayed in the shallows, a smile gracing his lips as he took in your human form. Hobie could tell that you wished that he could come up and join you. After all, exploring the city would've been more fun with the two of you..and nothing is really stopping Hobie from trying to find a way to use the same magic as sirens do to transform. But for now, exploring the ocean and mucking around is still good fun. While both you and Hobie were exploring through a reef, picking out anything shiny or mildly interesting, you remember hearing his oddly high-pitched squeal of surprise, having been caught off-guard by an eel poking its head out and bumping into his hand. No doubt he had to slap his tail with yours every time you brought it up, or even just giggled out of nowhere. At one point, Hobie had led you up towards the rocky underside of a cliff, both of you sitting on the rocks and watching as the sun set beyond the horizon, throwing splashes of colours across the sky and sea. The sea had turned into a reflection of the striking red and purple sky, with strips of liquid gold from the sun jumping from the waves like dolphins. Hobie was equally entranced. Of course, he and you have seen sunsets before, but something was more stunning like this. Maybe it was the fact he was with you. HELP ME WRITER'S BLOCK HAS CAPTURED ME -🐦‍⬛

HAHAHAHHA I knew it! And here I thought you were inspired by got!

Daily Hobie HC!!! 🎉

AJZWISBISNZJAISNZUSIWJSIA!!!!!!!! ROMEO AND JULIET BUT MAKE IT MERMAID X SIREN 😍😍😍

Gahhhh imagine dredging the deepest depths to find the magic that will turn him into his human form just so you two could have a date in the surface and dance with each other 🥺🥺🥺 then when you finally come home and he's all worried for you moreso when you come back covered in scrapes and wounds but you're all smiles bc you can finally take him up to the land and dance the night away with him 🥹

Also lounging on rocks with him kanzkaksjwjsjjsjs

Nooooooo!!!! Prevent it before it takes you in its hold!!! Find some inspiration usually that helps me push it away

[ao3cubi]

So I saw the Super Mario Bros movie the other day and I have Thoughts And Opinions™ on a couple things (idk what counts as a spoiler but it's all under the 'keep reading' just to be safe) P.S.: Damn this got longer than expected 💀

First and foremost, we all know it's not a masterpiece. It's not meant to be life-changing, it's meant to be fun. It's meant to entertain kids who have little to no knowledge of the Mario Bros games AND avid Mario fans at the same time, and I think the movie managed to do it pretty well.

I've read a few comments saying they didn't like the pace, that it was weird and fast. Y'all. That's how you keep a kid's attention. Hell, that's how you keep MY attention (as someone with ADHD). It's colourful, funny, and has great upbeat songs that had the whole theatre smiling and doing little dances in their seats and even singing along! And most important: the kids were DELIGHTED, they weren't talking or walking around out of boredom AT ALL, they were completely engrossed in the movie, we all were.

And now that I've made clear I liked the movie a lot, let's move on to less favorable opinions, random thoughts and such.

They better be making a Luigi centric movie soon because what the fuck was that. Yeah I get the Main Character is Mario but you can't have Luigi 'disappear' from most of the movie AFTER BEING IGNORED BY HIS FAMILY AT DINNER. "He was a prisoner" well have him try to escape or something! I don't care! I just need him to be appreciated!

Also we know Mario trained but... when did Luigi learn how to fight for the final battle? [New headcanon unlocked: Luigi is a natural at fighting but tries to avoid it at all costs because he's scared]

Loved Princess Peach, what a girlboss. Would've liked to see her girlbossing even more but yeah. Chef's kiss.

MARIO AND LUIGI. Their relationship, how they care for each other, how fucking happy and relieved they are to be reunited I just-- flawless, perfect, incredible, 100000/10.

Bowser just wanted to be happy okay? I know that's not how one does things but... he was trying. I'm sad now.

Also Bowser's hot and the voice they've given him in Spanish was a great nice amazing surprise.

Blue Shell Koopa has a place in my heart now.

The Luma is Gen Z.

Luigi saving Mario and joining forces for the final battle? Sharing the star? I teared up that was so GOOD. (Does not make up for the lack of Luigi in the rest of the movie but it's a good start.)

Still not over the cuteness of the second post-credit scene.

Loved the bowuigi scenes, didn't know that much bisexuality could be conveyed in so little time. Another win for the community. Hey Nintendo I've got a few ideas for a Bowuigi movie if you're interested.

The DK & Mario scenes are phenomenal and there aren't enough words to describe how perfect their conversation inside the eel was.

If you got this far, thank you for reading my nonsense! I hope you have a very nice day and you're more than welcome to comment/reblog with your own Toughts And Opinions™. This movie has me in a chokehold.

It has also given me ideas to continue the Bowuigi fic. Win-win.

tour de fleece (crash)

ok, so the tour de fleece ended, and i...did not do so great. i did really well for the first bit, and then we went to sheep and wool. and sheep and wool was amazing and delightful and i had an amazing time, but also: i'm disabled, and the crash from putting out that much energy was, uh, intense. i basically couldn't do anything for a week, and even spinning on my eel wheel in bed was too much to manage.

so i didn't. i picked up over the weekend, the last two days of the tour, and (very slowly) managed to spin some lovely rambouillet that i think will stay a singles—we'll see what it looks like after it's had a week to chill out on the bobbin.

(yeah, there's a couple little pigtaily bits, but (1) i literally finished the spin about thirty seconds before taking this photo, and (2) i prefer to spin at very low tension for most things, so it doesn't always wind on evenly. i suspect they'll go away.)

i'm not thrilled about how this ended for me, but when i made my tour de fleece plans, we hadn't decided to go to bendigo yet, so they were sort of overly ambitious. i also, uh, thought that the tour de fleece ran the entirety of july, and not just the first three weeks? so i thought that i had more time that i did, right until i started seeing people posting about the final stretch and went WAIT WHAT?

goals (link to original) and how they went:

spin a chunky yarn. i absolutely did not do this, and didn't even really think about it. i may just...keep not doing it. i still don't enjoy chunky yarns. maybe that's fine.

spin a singles yarn. see above! this one actually worked out ok, i think. i'm pretty sure it's going to stay a singles, and at minimum, it could stay a singles if i wanted it to.

spin some sock yarn. i didn't expect to finish this in july, but actually, yes i did! unwashed, it's about 25 wpi, which i'm pleased with. (it'll puff up some, but it's fairly firm, so i think not a ton.) unfortunately, i once again succumbed to the fallacy that i knit socks from 100g of commercial yarn, so 100g of fibre should be plenty for socks! it. is not. i think that washed up, i'll have about 225m, which might be enough for like, ankle socks. i'm gonna try, anyhow, but next time i say the words 'spinning for socks', someone please remind me that i want to spin at least 150g.

spin a breed i've never spun before. not a breed, and not much of it, but i actually did spin some bamboo fibre this month, and that's the first time i spun it and it wasn't a blend, so i think that counts.

spin this chunk of polwarth i dyed a few weeks back and am desperate to get my hands into. this was a just-for-fun addition that i absolutely did not get to, and am mad about. it's probably what i'm spinning next.

dye some wool in colours i don't usually use—the red-orange-yellow end of things. this was meant to be my second dye of the month, but didn't happen—the spin above is from fibre i dyed a couple years ago. i think it'll still happen in the near future, as my kid picked up a spindle at sheep and wool, and they fuckin love orange.

dye something brightly coloured. this one happened! i dyed some grey and white merino into a vivid purple. i'm thinking about blending in a little silk and sparkle.

make 20 rolags with hand cards. hahaha ha hahahaha no. i think i made four. the rolags will continue until the rolags improve, but i did not meet this goal even a little

stretch goals:

spin a four ply. surprisingly, yes! the sock yarn mentioned above is four ply, and i'm pretty pleased with it. i would, obviously, be more pleased if i'd remembered the whole density issue, but it's a very consistent four-ply sock weight, so i'm calling it a win.

spin a textured yarn. i did not do this. maybe later? maybe not, honestly. i feel like i should like textured yarns and chunky yarns and art yarns, but in my heart, i just don't. i'm impressed when other people make them, but maybe that's not reason enough to make them myself.

ok, spelling it all out like that makes me feel a little less bad. at no point did i say that i couldn't combine goals, so i achieved exactly half of those things. which isn't great, but isn't as bad as i thought. maybe next year i'll remember that 'do things you don't enjoy' doesn't really make for fun challenges for yourself, too.

The Question Game

Thanks for the tag @cas-readsandwrites

Do you make your own bed? Yes, and my kids’ beds on occasion. I like my room to be a calming place and I have a bedspread that I use to make it look neat - also, because my OH and I have single duvets, it makes it look neater. I never mastered the Swedish way of making two duvets look good!!

Favourite Number? Mmm, not sure I have one. Numbers have never been my forte 😂 I got a “no mention” in my Higher maths exam 😂

What’s your job? I am a teacher but not working at the moment. I taught English as a foreign language for about 25 years but left to be some a full time parent and carer for my son who is neurodivergent and doesn’t attend mainstream school.

If you could go back to school, would you? As long as it wasn’t between the ages of 11-14, when i was bullied and hated school. Before that was fine and after was a lot of fun and I’m still friends with the group of people i hung out with in the last years of school.

Can you parallel park? We call this reverse parking in the UK and I’m pretty good at it as I used to live in Milan and if you can park there, you can park anywhere!!

Do you think aliens are real? Probably some sort of biological life form, yes. Huge, hot, built, blue dudes from ice planets, sadly probably not😂

Can you drive a manual car? Again as I live in the UK, and have lived in Europe, it’s the only kind of car I’ve ever driven - don’t think I’ve even been in an automatic car!

What’s your guilty pleasure? Current guilty pleasures are aforementioned blue alien dudes and a whole load of smutty sci-fi romance. So escapist and therapeutic.

Any phobias? I used to have a phobia of spiders as where I grew up we have very large and fast house spiders. But since I’ve had kids, strangely, they don’t bother me as much. I also hate eels - their faces, the way they move and the idea of eating eel makes me 🤢. Not bothered about snakes so much.

Favourite childhood sport? Never been into sport much but I did use to like badminton and would like to play that again.

Do you talk to yourself? *types* “Do…you…talk….to….yourself…?” Why, yes. Yes, I do.

Tattoos? Not one. Nothing against them but I just don’t think they would suit me. I’m kind of vanilla and happy this way.

Favourite colour? Green (especially mossy and forest green) is my favourite colour but I wear navy, black or grey the most.

Do you like puzzles? Yes, but word ones. See above regarding dreadful maths skills 😀

TWST Boys' Food Preferences: Krenenbaker's Rating

AKA: How much does Henry enjoy the guys' favourite and least favourite foods?

From 0: I won't eat it to 10: One of my absolute favourite foods

Note: I'm a pretty adventurous / open eater, so a lot of these have very high ratings

Riddle

Favourite: Strawberry tart

Ooh, I do so enjoy a nice strawberry tart! (They're also WILDLY fun to make!) 8/10!!

Least Favourite: Junk food

Well... "junk food" is a somewhat arbitrary category. What counts as "junk food" is up to an individual's interpretation most of the time. For instance, is a slice of strawberry tart also considered "junk food"? For my interpretation of this, I'll give it a 6/10. If there were more specific foods, it may be a different rating.

Ace

Favourite: Cherry pie

YES!! However, this depends on if it's sweet cherry pie or sour cherry pie. Sweet? 6/10. Sour? 10/10!!! (it's one of my all-time favourite foods!)

Least Favourite: Raw oysters

Mmmmmm I love oysters! Sorry Ace, but these are a solid 8/10 in my books!

Deuce

Favourite: Anything with eggs

Little broad of a category there, don'cha think, bud? Anyways, 7/10. Eggs are pretty good! Though they do give me a bit of an ick if the whites aren't fully set when cooked.

Least Favourite: Bell peppers

Oh, bell peppers are rather nice! For green bell peppers I'd give a 4/10, and for other colours, 7/10.

Trey

Favourite: Candied violets

10/10!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE floral flavours, and candied violets are just... mmm...!! 10/10!!

Least Favourite: Mustard

Oop, sorry dear. 10/10. I love mustard. I use it ALL the time on so many things! And there are so many different varieties! Sweet, spicy, tangy, herby... It's one of my favourite condiments :)

Cater

Favourite: Spicy ramen

8/10! Spicy ramen may just be the best kind of ramen!

Least Favourite: Anything sweet

This is another really broad category... but 8/10. I like most sweet things - you can pass me the things you don't like after you photograph them, Cater ♡

Leona

Favourite: Meat

3/10... I could take it or leave it :/ (I do like organ meats and seafood, though... that counts for 2 of the 3 I gave this)

Least Favourite: Vegetables

9/10 - I love veggies! Give me a dish of nicely cooked mixed veg, or a cucumber dill salad, or literally whatever, and I'll be a happy camper! It's another broad category of foods, but I do like most vegetables

Ruggie

Favourite: Doughnuts

I think they're fine, though there are so many sweets I would much prefer. 5/10 (A good sour cream glazed doughnut SLAPS, though)

Least Favourite: Anything rotten

1/10 - YEAH?? I gave a 1 since cheese, wine, fermented foods (sauerkraut, miso, kombucha, etc.), and so on are technically made of foods that have gone off but are delicious, though that's not quite the same as "rotten". But just in case those count... a 1.

Jack

Favourite: Pear compote

Sweet, soft, and very yummy! I don't have it often, but I do enjoy it! 7/10!

Least Favourite: Green onions

6/10, I'd say. They're not my favourite, but they're a solid food item.

Azul

Favourite: Karaage

7/10. I like it, quite a lot, actually! It's not my favourite food, but it is something that I do enjoy :)

Least Favourite: Health food

Again, a wide variety of foods could fit here, but the "health food" label is especially subjective. It's much the same as Riddle's "junk food" categorization. I'll give this one a... 7/10? It depends on what his definition of "health food" is, though.

Jade

Favourite: Octopus carpaccio

10/10! I'm a HUGE fan of octopus (when it's prepared well, that is. It has a horrible texture if prepared poorly), and octopus carpaccio is a really nice and refreshing dish!! Yum!!

Least Favourite: Conger eel

Likely a 6/10. I've never had it, but I do like other types of eel, so there's a chance I'll like this too. I don't know yet, but I'm open to trying it! ^v^

Floyd

Favourite: Takoyaki

10/10!!! I LOVE takoyaki so, so, so, so much!! Probably another one of my favourite foods!! Again, octopus! It's so tasty!! And combined with the savoury cake, sauces, and bonito flakes??? Absolutely DELICIOUS.

Least Favourite: Shiitake mushrooms

Sorry Floyd, these are a 9/10 :) I ADORE mushrooms! Shiitakes aren't my favourite type (that'd be Lion's Mane), which is why it's a 9 and not a 10.

Kalim

Favourite: Coconut water

6/10! I like coconut water! It's not necessarily my drink of choice, but I do enjoy it!

Least Favourite: Curry

Apologies Kalim, I'll have to agree with Jamil here... 10/10! I've loved basically every form of curry I've tried, and there is such a wide range of different kinds that exist! Such a good category of food!

Jamil

Favourite: Curry

10/10 - see above (*´◡`*)

Least Favourite: Dates

Again, apologies, Jamil. 8/10. Dates are a wonderful, sweet fruit :)

Vil

Favourite: Homemade smoothies

Apparently, Vil has specific recipes he uses, so I don't know what his smoothies are like. In general, though, I'd say they're a 6/10 for me. Some are really nice, but smoothies aren't my favourite thing to drink most of the time.

Least Favourite: Mayonnaise

I do enjoy mayonnaise - I'd give it a 7/10. It's tasty, and I use it quite often, on sandwiches, in tuna or pasta salads, mixed with other items to make tartar sauce to go with fish, and so on. (fun fact, you can bake with it, too! there are cake recipes which use mayonnaise instead of oil or butter, and it gives the final product a nice moist texture!)

Epel

Favourite: Macarons (barbeque)

For macarons, I'd say 4/10. They're pretty, and fun to make, and sweet. But they can be a bit too sweet for me sometimes.

For barbeque, probably 2/10. 1/10 if it's meat on-the-bone. I don't like meat on bones, and am not the biggest fan of most meats in general :/

Least Favourite: Apple pears

Oh, apple pears can be nice! I'll say 7/10. Not too sweet, nice and crispy... it's a good fruit!

Rook

Favourite: Liver paté

Honestly, probably an 8/10. It is a really, really lovely food. I don't have it often, but I really like it any time I do!! (Liver paté is actually one of the few pork-based foods I still eat, so I think that says a lot about how much I enjoy it)

Least Favourite: Garlic

Again, I offer my apologies, darling; I LOVE garlic. Lemon garlic shrimp, skordalia, garlic green beans, garlicky hummus, it's all delicious! 9.5/10! It's definitely more of an ingredient than a food unto itself, though... I'm not the sort to just munch on raw cloves of garlic!

Idia

Favourite: Sweets

I'll give the same ranking as with the sweet things for Cater: 8/10.

Least Favourite: Raw fish

Naw mate, raw fish is tasty! 8/10!! :D

Ortho

He doesn't eat, so ?/10, I guess?

Malleus

Favourite: Ice cream

I personally find ice cream slightly "meh" a lot of the time? I do like a good mint chip, pistachio, or black cherry ice cream, but in general, 5/10.

Least Favourite: Whole cakes

Uhh, how do I answer this? I don't think I'd like a WHOLE cake, so I think probably a 3/10? It'd be nice at first, but terrible by the end! If it's a miniature cake, though, probably 7/10

Sebek

Favourite: Salmon carpaccio

Another 9/10! Love me some salmon, and salmon carpaccio is a really, REALLY nice way to have it!!

Least Favourite: Black coffee

It's not how I take my coffee, and coffee isn't my drink of preference, either. So, 4/10.

Silver

Favourite: Mushroom risotto

10/10!!!! This lad has GREAT taste!! Again, I ADORE mushrooms, and mushroom risotto highlights their flavour and texture(s) beautifully! I love making it, too!

Least Favourite: Lilia's cooking

I don't blame him. 1.5/10. I'll give it a try, but... I don't think it would sit well with me ( ´～｀)

Lilia

Favourite: Tomato juice

9/10 - I really like tomato juice! It's nice to have with a lunch or a savoury breakfast!

Least Favourite: Marshmallows

They're pretty nice! Not my go-to sweet treat, but definitely a good pick. I'd say 7/10

Grim

Favourite: Canned tuna

I'm going to give this a 6/10. It's a convenient food item, and generally pretty good. Not the best, not the worst, but you can make some nice dishes with it!

Least Favourite: Nothing

Does this mean he doesn't have a least Favourite food, or that his least Favourite food is not having food? ???/10 for confusing phrasing

He skips school all the time. You'll just find him wandering around the city instead. It's gotten to the point that he personally knows all the security at his school.

He has a job dog walking!

He's a foster kid, and gets passed around lots of houses before he lands at Eel's place, but is known to be a runner. He just escapes out of windows and stuff and has had the police called on him for this many times.

He likes wearing primary colours and white, and his main outfits tend to be a bright graphic tee, light blue jeans, battered converse and maybe a jacket if he can be bothered.

His favourite subject is physics, but only because it's the one that let's him learn about the stars and space.

Hosts card/board game meets during lunches twice a month.

Likes roller skating. He goes to roller discos because I go to roller discos and I think they're really fun.

Has no idea of how much money he has at any point, and is very scared of spending any, so he just.. has a weirdly big amount of it for his age.
