kinning both james potter and regulus black is an experience and a half.

not only are you the sunshine child who has to smile constantly and be everyone’s shoulder to lean on but you also feel rotten to your very core. you feel this bone deep tiredness, the weight of your responsibilities that you have created for yourself, standards you cannot possibly live up to. and it is crushing you. you can’t breathe past the weight of it.

everything is too much and the days are too long but time passes too quickly for you to enjoy anything. you love spending time with your friends even though you crave the silence. and then when you have it, the silence is suffocating.

you love food but it tastes like ash, you crave physical touch, love both giving it and receiving it, but some days it makes your skin crawl and you don’t know how to explain this to anyone so you grit your teeth and bare it.

your anger burns but it’s cold. the first emotion you feel in conflict is guilt because that is what you were taught to feel. you become bitter and you push the anger down, swallow it to try and keep it at bay. you know how to make your words hurt because you feel hurt and you don’t know what to do with all this anger, it’s just sitting in your chest, bubbling over, and it’s shameful and wrong in a way you don’t want to feel.

it’s all too much to feel but not enough to ground you in reality. you go through the motions and then everything hits you suddenly. the emotions are feeling, too much and yet not enough.

you’re simultaneously drowning in an ocean of it all but your insides are drying up from the lack of everything.

I recently finished reading Crime and Punishment and now I want to see Raskolnikov and Ivan Karamazov interact

[kavehayati]

Wonderful day to kin both yuri and sayori 🥰 apparently I’m “bad” as the youth say

[daz4i]

felix and chuuya occupy the same space in my head tbh. do you get where i'm coming from here. i think it's clear why

[n0tamused]

Hiii*** I luv your work sm 💓💓💓 you encapsulate the characters so well

How do you think the elves would react to a human s/o who has a beautiful singing voice? maybe she travels thru to sing as a job? Like a bard almost? im lowkey envisioning Lana Del Rey haha 💓💓 stay safe queen 💓💓💓

A/N: Hello! I'm so happy to hear you say so, thank you so much <3 But I can definitely do that- I hope you like this! And you stay safe as well!

Ko-fi

☀︎Glorfindel

-Glrofindel’s affections towards the traveling bard are nothing unknown, both to his kin and others. It is no secret he has a love for all sorts of crafts but song is one he favors the most out of all of them, it comes easily and he is also known to sing himself. It is not rare to hear him humming when he comes and goes down the hall, unburdened with duty and tasks

-This love of music is only further amplified when he begins to court his beloved bard. He hums even more often, trying to form rhymes and compositions on his feet that he may write down once he is back in his chambers with a quill in hand

-He loves to hear you sing, if that was not clear enough by now, and he takes so much pleasure in simply staying quiet while you take the stage

-Glorfindel is also known to mention you a lot in conversations concerning art and music and poetry, besides the usual conversations as well where he simply likes to remind everyone how great you are - he is your greatest supporter tbh, your own personal cheerman

-Although he does share the love of music with you he does find it a bit hard to actually find the right words that rhyme, it does take him ages sometimes, and that’s where he appreciates your input and thought. This leads to a lot of sweet moments of you two coming up with some verses together. Some nights spent with you are filled with a back-and-forth conversation about possible verses, compositions or instruments that may be used in particular songs

-(You two are the Middle-Earth's equivalent of song cover makers lol, I love it)

-He was rather saddened when you once came to him with your broken instrument, and he was just as quick to seek someone out to repair it, and in the meantime he was the one singing to you to distract you 

♪⊹ ࣪ ˖Lindir

-Lindir is a song man, quite literally in name too! So it is no surprise that he does take interest in your own music as well. At first he didn’t understand the songs you brought from the world of Men, they all were a bit foreign to him and he was rather indifferent to them. They did not carry the same depth as elven songs, he once commented to a fellow elf, unknowingly being “eavesdropped” by you (you were simply walking by), and since then it seemed to him you had set a lifelong goal to expose him to as much Man music as possible..

-But as your stay in RIvendell prolonged itself and you kept on filling the air with your voice and harp, he couldn’t help but relay some attention to you. He could no longer force his head and ear away, and his interest inevitably grew. What once were shallow verses became something he found himself humming in times of tranquil silence

-He would have listened and watched from afar for a long time before one day approaching you about a certain part of a certain song, telling you how some part could use improvement and how it didn’t make sense to leave it as is. He was rather polite with it for his usual sass and far less critical than when he first met you and heard your songs

-From that conversation it was clear he had spent quite some time listening  to you play and sing. And from there he had approached you more, sitting off in your sight or close to you while you played and sang. It slowly evolved to him offering to teach you to play another instrument, a flute perhaps? Or a high harp perhaps? There are many instruments of elegance in Rivendell that Lindir would be more than happy to introduce you to. Word spread out quickly from there - Lindir had asked you to allow him to court you. Lindir doesn’t understand how the word spread quickly, or who even winessed the private moment between the two of you, but he has no time or energy to find the culprit, so he begrudgingly accepts his predicament and finds himself sassing back anyone that asks too much about his relationship with you

-Once he was allowed leave from RIvendell and he took the chance to travel with you, accompanying you on your journey to a nearby settlement of Man, where you gathered much attention from the young to elderly. He couldn’t help but feel so proud and happy. He stood to the side, almost in the shadow, admiring you from afar and sometimes stealing a glance at the others who were admiring you as well

-Safe to say, Lindir has found a new form of love for Human songs, and even greater love with you

𓄃Thranduil

-The elven king, however aloof, has an eye for things of good craft but also an ear for a good tune

-Often, on his walks with his kin through the woods of his Realm, he hears the quiet humming and singing of one or two individuals, and on some occasions he joins them as well. By now the others that are frequent guests on his walks have come to know his two favorite “walking songs” and make it a point to start singing them if their King seems to be in damp spirits. This has lead him to not like the said songs anymore, since singing them so often had the opposite of the desired effect

-As it is not that often than Men are that far in his Kingdom, it was quite interesting to see you come before his court, and with a voice that even the walls grew ears to listen to. It happened in the years he was in grief, dressed in darker clothes to show his state, but to you it may have not appeared so meaningful, as you brought a song of joy and spring rather than the songs of mourning

-The gesture, who some of his court deemed misplaced, was something Thranduil was very grateful for

-He has since made further arrangements for your stay and made inquiries about the next time you’ll stop at Mirkwood. Not many singers from outside like to take their chances in the forest, and while the elves there were generous and protective of their guests, you got further protection upon your departure, being safely escorted by a number of elven guards

-The time following, robbed of your presence and music has left Thranduil feeling somewhat impatient, although he’d never admit that outloud. It is in the times when he is left alone that he has to remind himself that patience is what he needs, not the other way around. And should you come again to his court, he’d be more than willing to offer you a permanent place at his side

-It is safe to say the offer was a pleasant shock to you. Especially considering how the others outside his borders love to talk about him, how rude he is and how greedy - yet all you saw was a just hand ruling a Kingdom cast into darkness, a lonely light in the spotless night sky. All his guards wore jewelry, and you could not think of another king that treated his servants and guards half as well

-Time passed swiftly, and you found a spot at his court, and after a time - at his side as well, more than just a singer

..☘︎ ݁˖Legolas

-Legolas is as fond of songs as a young Prince can be, and more. He has always been a free spirit, inquisitive about the world around him and he tackled the new events and findings through music and instruments

-His Father did not leave him lacking in this regard, and Legolas was taught to pull harp strings and the ways of holding a flute properly when he was young. Later he’d go to try his hand at drums as well, but he found himself preferring finger cymbals over drums

-It is not a far stretch to say that your song was a natural and most welcome noise to his ears. He could not think of a better way to be lead to another person, or a better way to swim into introduction

-Amidst war and carnage, you had led the audience to a mental state of reprieve by a simple motion of strumming your harp in hand. Your voice was that of a Maia, and he could not get enough

-War suddenly seemed so far away, and he felt nearly human, sympathising with the Men in the small crowd that was your audience

-He had met you later when you were adjusting the strings of your harp when one suddenly snapped against your fingers, broken. Legolas did not have harp strings at hand but he had a spare bow string that was too short for his bow, which he offered to you. He repaired the harp as best as he could with the provided item, and while it was not the best solution, it was all there was

-Any tune coming from you was a good one, he told you, flattering you more through flowery elven phrases as his long fingers tightened the string and made sure it wouldn’t come undone

-He was quite happy when you tried out the new string after he handed it to you

-Legolas did not rejoice in leaving the place behind, but duty was heavy on his heart, and a whole world was at stake, and with a bow he bid you safety and farewell

-After the war he found you on the streets of Gondor, singing once more. And much to his surprise you still had the bow string on your harp. The sight, so small, held much too much meaning for him, and found his heart feeling full, not just from the familiar comfort of your song, but a certain form of admiration

-Nothing stopped him from seeking you out after your performance, but you’ve already seen him past the heads of people and children, standing at the edge of where four streets met in the square.

-The conversation was somewhat awkward as some time has passed, and much evil was witnessed, but in the end you parted on a good note, and a promise of more meetings

[hexy-lynesdein]

I talked about this scene of Agatha recruiting Lilia in my priv, twitter acc back then but somehow I felt the need to bring it up again (and this time on Tumblr) since not enough people are talking about this.

I think we all, as a society, moved on wayyyyyy too fast from this scene.

Agatha lowkey didn't fw divination because she couldn't cheat her way through it. The way her face dawned in realization in each word that Lilia uttered to her.. I could almost see the thought process in her head, it's almost comical (do ignore the pict quality people 🙏🏻).

Agatha is so skeptical of Lilia at first, she's like “Okay, let's hear what other nonsense this old kooky witch has to say”. Only for Lilia to read her like an open book. And Agatha has only been standing and fucking around in her shop for like.. what? Ten minutes? And you mean to tell her this bitch already caught up on what it is that she was about to do? Bonkers!

“It's not the first time your witch kin betrayed you. But you survive, in a way few do. In fact, it's why you're here. And I am not interested.”

Her expression. These are the faces of a woman who's impressed, annoyed, pissed, and turned on by such a display of power and skill for a short amount of time. And dare I say that Agatha felt almost... a pity? Later on, for Lilia. Not because of her seeing Lilia screaming like a madman when she was in her kitchen. But rather because she knew what she was about to do. She is going to take Lilia's power, in one way or another. And that means she's going to kill her fellow centuries old, exceptional and magnificent witch. And it's a shame, really.

And on a separate note, can we also talk about the tension that Agatha and Lilia have in that scene? It screams history to me, like come on now. The show of push and pull, them going “Oh so that's how it is? Fine, let's play your game”, both witches knowing exactly what and who the other is, but the information never once scaring them and piqued their interest instead. I might be reading too deep into these but honestly for such a brief meet up, these two have so many things going on — it's kinda insane.

[siphoklansan]

HEYHEY SIPPY!!! For the ask game, I hope you don't mind me asking for... kind of a lot because I'm really curious jskdkfs but you can cut some out if want to, dw!

🌹♥️♠️⚗️📚🏆 for Siphok and 🌟🤖 for Pin-cha?

RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS ᝰ.ᐟ

sippy and riddle are friends! both of them have one thing in common: a stickler for rules. the only difference is that sippy doesn’t follow crazy rules (ex. heartslabyul’s strange traditions!)

fun fact: they both hated each other before the end of book 1 because:

⤷ sippy likes to voice out her opinions, so she gets into a yelling match from time to time with riddle when she disagrees with his behavior. ( “IT’S JUST A TART, FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!” 💀 /j but yeah something like that-)

⤷ riddle hates how she doesn’t give two shits about his rule. ( “Nuh-uh.” “What do you mean “Nuh-Uh” ?!?”) and she also defends adeuce when they break the rules, much to their surprise.

at the end of book 1 they both had a truce and became some sort of buddies to each other! they both share an interest in small critters <3

ACE TRAPPOLA & DEUCE SPADE ᝰ.ᐟ

besties for life (adeuce will not admit it) they always go everywhere with each other and grim!

sippy is #1 deuce defender because she kins him😭 so ace rarely wins and argument when she’s around. sippy tutors deuce for history class (more on this later!) and deuce returns the favor by helping her fix things around ramshackle <3

like deuce, sippy bickers a lot with ace but it’s all fun and games. she’s like a tired mom with him (begrudgingly watches his basketball matches because ace insists on it so much, secretly doesn’t mind and enjoys it lmao-). I lowkey see ace as a therapist friend for some reason since he’s usually the voice of reason so she goes to him for advice sometimes! Only for certain occasions though cuz we know how ace is💀 /hj

DIVUS CREWEL ᝰ.ᐟ

#1 dad for sippy. they both go on shopping sprees together (crewel insists on it, because sippy wears the same outfit everyday and it irks him 💀). sippy isn’t the best at potions class so he tutors her privately at times!

crewel designs outfits for sippy sometimes! in the ghost bride event, her suit was tailored to her by crewel.

a short angst scenario for them would be sippy feels bad to see him as a dad because she doesn’t know if crewel sees her as a daughter but he actually feels the same😔.

other than that, sippy got a little more strict because she picked up some habits from crewel (much to adeuce’s dismay😭).

MOZUS TREIN (doesn’t look like him, i know) ᝰ.ᐟ

that one proud grand-uncle (?) TM /j

sippy is likes history classes, so it’s like a breath of fresh air for him in class (“Finally, someone who does not snore every 2 minutes.” /j)

not much to comment on them, but one thing trein dislikes about sippy is that she covers for students who are slacking off in class ( ex. covering grim’s sleeping form with a book) and he’s just like -_- but trein counters that by deducting both her and the other student (who’s mostly grim) participation points💀

ASHTON VARGAS ᝰ.ᐟ

that one crazy and upbeat uncle at family gatherings TM 💀 /j

while sippy is good in athletics, she doesn’t do very well in flying due to a small fear of heights.

⤷ “THE BROOM IS TOO THIN IT CAN’T CARRY MY FATASS!” “LANGUAGE! But no, it *can* hold your weight.”

sippy dreads vargas’s class because he pushes her more than anyone else.

⤷ “lift some more weights! your arms are like noodles!” vargas says, as he dumps some more shit into her arms-

KALIM AL ASIM ᝰ.ᐟ

pin-cha and kalim is like the worst nightmare for jamil, who’s already acting like a single mom who works two jobs who loves her kids and never stops-

yes, they go on carpet rides together🥺💓 pin-cha reminds kalim of one of his siblings back at home so they hit it off pretty well!

jamil is a little weirded out how well pin-cha is good at household chores but is also secretly relieved (and concerned) how pin-cha is babysitting kalim and not the other way around /hj

CHEKA KINGSCHOLAR ᝰ.ᐟ (NOT A SHIP ART!!)

RRAAAGHSGSHHSHGSHSG FINALLY SOMEONE MENTIONS CHEKAAAAA!! THEY’RE BESTFRIENDS, YOUR HONOR😭✨

cue leona thanking the gods for giving cheka someone to play with so he can finally nap in peace LMAO

cheka drags pin-cha away from his cleaning duties in rsa! the headmage of rsa adores them both (happy grandpa noises) <3

cheka enjoys when pin-cha shows his unique magic, summoning little spirits around to play with them. it’s like having extra friends to play!

yes, they both call leona “unca”💀 leona had to call sippy over to help him babysit them both (an excuse to be with her I MEAN WHAAATTT⁉️ I DIDN’T SAY ANYTHING-)

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE ASK, TARU!!💖💖 SO SORRY FOR THE LATE AND VERY LONG REPLY😭🙏 I had a lot of fun with this ask though I can’t find the link to the OG post anymore :((

I swear this whole post looks like some character who is liked by everybody but I promise you it’s not the case😭 she just has a good impression on the professors AHUSHSUGSYSI BUT ANYWAY I’ll list some characters who doesn’t like sippy (but i’ll leave the reasoning out for now👀)

⤷ ruggie

⤷ sebek

⤷ idia

⤷ jamil (kinda like a hate-neutral relationship?)

With that said, thank you again for the ask!!🥺💖🫶🫶

[slowburningechoes]

hi so uh what is your favorite robert sean leonard role

omg i’ve been trying to prepare myself for this day… but i’m still going to ramble for sure! thank you for this ask!!!

i love so many of his roles for different reasons, so i’ll try to rank them, then elaborate on why they are where they are…

1. neil (dead poet’s society): like many of us, this is how i was introduced to RSL. his performance as neil was so moving to me — even at 14. i related to this character in many ways (and still do) and truly felt seen for the first time in my life. i was (and woud continue to) live my life trying to please my father and had deep fear of his judgement and rejection. his joy and his pain as neil is palpable every single time, even if it’s been 10+ years of numerous rewatches. this is one of his most well-known roles for that reason… but that’s not why it’s my #1. neil is just so special to me, i cannot even begin to describe the feelings i have towards him. but, i can tell you it’s enough that i plan to get an outline tattoo of neil as puck this summer!

2. wilson (house, md): ok another kin character of mine!! but that’s not (the only reason) why. wilson as a character is really like the only RSL role we see fleshed out for YEARS! not a film, not one episode or at max one season, but 8 YEARS!!! the opportunity to have so much of wilson when we have very little of RSL long-term is so special. wilson is also so dynamic both internally and in his relationship with house. we see the good parts of wilson — his humor, his dedication, his love. but we see the low moments, too — his infidelity, his depression/grief, his pain. wilson is a wonderfully rounded out character and makes every episode that much better!

3. luke forte (the gilded age): as julian schlossberg said during his interview, rev. luke forte is truly just bobby. everything genuine and warm and loving about RSL is tied up in luke. it was “one of the easiest things [he’s] ever done” because of that. everything i adore about him shows up in this role, so i’ll be a luke lover forever and ever!!! plus — he plays opposite his irl lifelong friend, which makes it even sweeter.

4. alfred (safe passage): underrated af!!! i really enjoy the family dysfunction in this film in general — from a psych perspective ofc. alfred, being the oldest, takes on a parental role and always has to have it together. but there is so much passion and rage and feeling brewing underneath (which we get to see)! i just love seeing RSL embody this dynamic role. plus, his milf of a girlfriend is a psychologist so… self insert.

5. barry (boys next door): bobby just blows this role out of the water. i did a bit more of an in-depth blurb about barry before, but in summary — the depiction of debilitating ptsd was very accurate to my personal and clinical experience. can’t speak much to it accurately depicting schizophrenia, but the dynamics between barry and the boys, jack, and his father are all so incredibly moving. plus love the long hair!!!!

…

need a separate ranking just for his roles where he’s a jerk, have to go:

1. claudio (much ado about nothing): he’s just so pretty and princely. plus, shakespeare?! cmon!!!

2. tom (last days of disco): 1998 RSL? …seductive dancing? duhhh!!! (i still cannot believe I mentioned this character in my note to him… what is wrong with me?!)

3. jon (tape): bossy, smug, lowkey sexual tension with both of the other characters?! count me in.

Left Behind // Chapter 4: Plotting

Chapter 3

Ao3 Link

CW: Fae AU!Johnny MacTavish x GN!Reader, Fae!Gaz x OC (Name: Evie), cursing, horrible Scottish accent and slang written by an American who is really bad at writing accents (but continues to try), arguing, Fae being Fae, Definitely some plot holes

Summary: In the continuation of Chapter 3, Johnny and Gaz talk some more about what Johnny is supposed to do about the reader. Johnny has the idea to ask Evie about them and while Gaz is reluctant to do so for his own reasons, he does it. In doing so, they end up setting up a meeting with Evie and the reader. But first, they decide to regroup and come up with a plan to get the reader in Johnny's clutches.

Author's Note: Hey look at me I finally figured out how to do the naming link thingy! Cool! I figured it might be a good time to maybe post another chapter cause I've lowkey got writer's block and that sucks and I hate it but ehhhhhhhhh lol. While I'm at it I might make a masterlist once I figure out more on how to do that. As always, this is loosely inspired by Peachsofteal's Which Witch fanfic (highly recommend it tbh)

Word Count: 4036

Gaz squinted at him, his lips pursed into another deep frown. He blinked, sighed, and pinched the bridge of his nose between his fingers, “What the hell are you blathering on about now, mate?”

Johnny loathed having to explain himself. He let loose a huff of warm air into the autumn air surrounding them, “If my…wee issue is dealt with before The Captain can find out, then ah’m in the clear.” He tucked his hands into his pockets, “There’ll be nae need to worry.”

“Uh-huh.” He began carefully, “And how do you suggest we go about doing that exactly?” He rested his weight on one arm, laying his other arm across his stomach.

“Tae be honest, Ah’m not sure yet.” He grumbled, deep in thought now that the question had been posed. He knew one thing for sure, “Whatever we do, The Captain cannae find out.”

“Obviously, yeah.” His friend affirmed, gesturing half-heartedly with his hand in the air.

Johnny jumped to his feet, pacing back and forth on the grass, a million thoughts running through his head. He had to get out of this, somehow, without anyone knowing. Amongst his kin, a secret was one of the more valuable things to know about someone. A secret as big as his was surely going to be very sought after. 

Gaz watched him with a very careful eye, regarding him with the same judgement one might regard a feral wild dog.

He figured that assessment was rather accurate. He looked to his cohort, regrettably pleading with him, “Any smart ideas?”

He frowned in thought, “For what exactly? Fixing your little issue or hiding it from The Captain? Cause you and I both know how difficult either of those will be.”

“How about both.” He ran his hands through the shaved sides of his hair. It was odd for him to feel so unsure of himself. He was usually the one with all the ideas. The whole thing of a human having any sort of power over him was messing with his head. He couldn’t think. All he could think about was his desperate need to find you, his little human. There were no big plans behind it. Just one stream of unconscious thoughts.

FindThemFindThemFindThemFindThem

Over and over again. He couldn’t spend another mortal year like…this. Frazzled and desperate beyond repair.

Ghost, at the very least, being ever observant, would notice how strangely he had been acting. He would figure it out. He would tell The Captain. No doubt about it. 

He had to find you soon. Like, within the next week, soon. He could go no longer being in the power of anyone else but him. He had to find you, even if it killed him in the end. 

Gaz spoke, “Keeping all of this shit from The Captain won’t be easy, you know. But it’ll certainly go along much smoother finding your mortal, even if we have to get Evie to help us.”

Johnny snapped his fingers, “That’s right! We have yer sweet pet to help us now. Ye said they were friends, didn’t ye?”

“I did…”

“Then why dinnae ye call ‘em up, we’ll charm ‘em into giving us an address and-”

“No. Not happening.” Gaz shot him down, vehemently shaking his head.

Why did Johnny feel like they’d had this conversation before?

Oh, that’s right.

They had.

“Why the hell not?” He shot back, snotty as ever, “Aren’t they our best shot? Shouldn’t we use them?”

“Well, yeah, but they’re annoying. If I call them up now, I’ll have to spend the entire day with them and it’ll be a whole thing that I just do not want to deal with.” He groaned when he thought about it, flopping back onto the ground.

Johnny almost went for his throat again. This was serious and the only confidante he had was thinking about how annoying his newest pet was, as if all humans weren’t. He threw up his hands, “Does it look like Ah care, mate? This is my life we’re talkin’ about!” He stomped all around, “So, get off yer arse and call them up already!” He demanded.

Gaz grumbled, but ultimately fished his phone from his pocket like a good friend would. Under Johnny’s watchful eye, he typed out a message in response to the bombardment of ones his pet had already left for him to read. Classic human right there.

Oftentimes, humans under Fae power, especially those who had undergone a glamour spell, would develop an unsustainable attachment to their Fae master. He had seen it happen plenty of times. He had been the cause of it plenty of times as well. 

Whether it happened because of the Fae’s own charm or because of an overuse of glamour, it was a typical side-effect, well-known to happen amongst the Fae. The only cure for it was to let the affected mortal go free, but even then, they would just seek out another Fae to become dependent on. It was a vicious cycle that only got worse and worse the longer it went on.

If it was happening to Gaz’s new pet like Johnny suspected it was, Gaz certainly wouldn’t be displeased to find out he had to let them go to find another Master. Now with how he seemed to dislike them after all.

Speaking of, Gaz huffed again, tossing his phone to the side, “Alright, they’ve agreed to meet us. They want to know if seven tomorrow will work and if it’s okay if they bring a friend with them.”

Johnny’s head snapped in his direction, “Wait, seriously? Ah expected that tae be a bit harder tae accomplish.” 

“So did I. Maybe it’s a trick.” He suggested.

The two of them immediately burst into boisterous laughter. How stupid of a suggestion to make, and they both knew it. Mortals could never purposefully trick them. It was always an accident on account of an unfocused Fae. It would never happen normally. No human could ever be smart enough for that. Not even the ones with the highest IQ were immune to the charm of the Fae. That was something Johnny had seen first-hand.

The two of them laughed for a good long while, scaring nearby passerbys and birds that had reclustered together in the treetops. 

When they stopped, Johnny nudged Gaz in the ribs, “That’s a funny joke, mate. Yer a real bampot.”

“Sorry, couldn’t help myself.” He chuckled a little more, sighing wistfully. After a moment of thought, he turned to face him, “So.”

Johnny tossed him a side-eye, “This again? So, what?”

“How exactly are you going to convince your mortal to go with you? Wouldn’t they know how much power they hold over you?”

He hadn’t thought of that. How was he going to accomplish this? He thought about it for a moment longer, then came to a final idea, “Easy. The memories of these more modern mortals aren’t as good as ours. They’re bound not to remember me one bit.”

“Okay? And then what?”

“Ah’ll present myself as a lowly human, jus’ like them, so that they’ll trust me. Then-”

“Won’t work.” Gaz interrupted before he could get the full thought out into the air.

Johnny shot him a look of annoyance, “Why not?”

“I got the feeling they knew I was a Fae. They weren’t like other humans who might not know any better. They might automatically assume any friend of mine will be like me. A Fae.” 

“Ah’m sure they wouldnae have that much of an issue with us.”

“Didn’t they run from you the first time you met?”

“That was different. They willnae run this time.” Johnny waved him off, albeit his eyebrows creasing together with worry. He would never admit it, but he did have the slightest hesitancy about them remembering him or not trusting him right off the bat.

Gaz rolled his eyes, “Well, it isn’t exactly conducive to having a fantastic opinion about us, now is it?”

He hated having to admit when Gaz had a good point. A very good point in fact. They had run from him. That was truly not a good sign. Not if he had ever seen one. You probably did not trust any of their kind. He groaned, “Alright, ye bawbag, ye’re right. There may or may not be a good chance they dinnae like the Fae.” He huffed under his breath, tossing his head back to stare up at the bright blue sky, “Fine. Do ye have any ideas ye’d like to share, since ye seem to enjoy poking plenty of holes in mine?”

“Why don’t we ask Evie for their number? Mortals are almost always on their devices nowadays, they can’t seem to live without them.” Gaz crossed his arms, “Besides, it allows for a sense of anonymity. Quite a perfect thing for two Fae setting a trap.” 

Johnny pondered over it for a moment. Then pondered it some more. He let it simmer, then nodded, “Alright, Ah guess ye aren’t really a bawbag. Do it.” He watched over his friend’s shoulder as he typed out a short message, again in response to a much longer series of messages from his very clingy pet. 

His message about a number had been answered and then some. 10 messages came in where there should’ve only been a need for 1, maybe 2, at the max. 

He honestly wondered how many interactions this mortal had had with the Fae and how much glamour had been used to cause this level of dependency. Then again, Johnny guessed that could’ve just been the human themself. Eitherway, he could feel the irritancy radiating off of Gaz in waves. 

His friend shoved his phone into his hand, “Here. Their number. Put it in and enjoy.” He gestured to the string of numbers he recognized as a mortal phone number, highlighted amongst the tens of messages left in the chat.

He carefully typed in each number, putting it in a new contact he had so lovingly labelled ‘Mortal’.

A new message appeared on Gaz’s phone, coming in from Evie. He nudged him in the shoulder, “Hey, yer pet texted ye.”

“What now?”

“Looks like it’s an address. Maybe they want ye to meet them somewhere. Break it off or what have ye.”

Gaz side-eyed him, a mimic of his own expression, “Nah. They’re definitely sending it for a different reason.” He grabbed the phone back and looked at the message. He was already typing out another one.

“Not like Ah have any clue. Not my pet after all.” He shot him a very purposefully judgemental look, making sure it was scathing.

Gaz rolled his eyes and checked whatever new message had just come in for him. He hummed, “They say it’s their friend’s address. Didn’t I tell you how sweet they were?”

“And if ah remember correctly, ye also just said they were annoying.” He mentioned in snarky return.

“I guess you don’t want to know where your mortal master lives then.”

He blinked, reaching for the phone insistently, not even caring how Gaz had referred to you, “Nae- Nae, ah do. Give it.” Gaz let him have it rather easily. He wasted no time in putting his newfound piece of important information. He honestly couldn’t believe they had gotten it without even asking. A miracle in and of itself. He grinned, his teeth gleaming in the sun, “Great courts Gaz, yer pet is just something, aren’t they? When ye first told me how ye got them, ah was sure ye were tugging on mah dick.” He couldn’t help how his boisterous laughter escaped with delight, “Glad tae ken ye were telling the truth.”

“Course I was. Not like we can exactly lie, now can we?” Gaz scoffed, snatching his phone back. He pocketed it before Johnny could see if any new messages had been sent.

He shrugged and used one of the handy mortal tracking map apps to locate his target. A flat building it looked like. Drab place it was. Just a large box with a roof, painted one singular colour, windows set into the walls every couple of feet. It was just like the building that housed his own flat, the one he used when he had to stay amongst mortals for longer than usual. He wondered if there was anything else your mortal flat had in common with his. He honestly hoped the similarities were down to a small minimum. He didn’t need to share too much in common with a mortal.

Zooming out on the digital map, he checked the area surrounding your building, following the roads and streets around you. Only to find that you lived very close to the very cafe they had just seen you. 

Not the place he had originally met you.

No.

He may not know the mortal world very well, but he knew that much. How exactly had you ended up there in the first place? Who or what had you been looking for that landed you in Faerie, in that forest, in front of him, one mortal year ago?

He hummed, “Huh.” His tongue clicked on the roof of his mouth.

Gaz shot him a look, “What?” He asked, his eyebrows knitted together.

“Ah’m jus’..Ah’m surprised.” He stared at the address glaring back at him from his phone, zooming in on the photo of your building. He focused on every window he could find, wanting to know exactly which one was yours. 

His friend craned his neck up, trying to look over his shoulder at the image, “Nice place you’re looking at. Why so surprised?”

“It’s naewhere near the portal they came into Faerie through. Actually, it’s quite a few miles away. They live closer to the cafe where ye met ‘em.” He commented, flashing him the screen so he could see the place in even more detail.

“How is it that a mortal can go from one place to another? Surely that’s not possible.”

“As if ah ken anymore than ye do.” A wrinkle appeared in between his eyebrows.

Gaz sighed, “Just another thing for us to figure out. At least it won’t be hard to locate them now.”

“Aye. Nae way they can escape now tha’ ah ken where they live.” He grinned, sharp and presenting of his sharpened canines, “They’ll be in mah clutches very soon, that is fer sure.”

“How are you planning to do that? Find out their name? Trick them like they did you?” Gaz eyed him very carefully again, “I guess you could get them to eat some of our food and get them that way. You’ve got to have some sort of plan for this, right?”

“Ah’ll have tae trick them somehow. They were almost too kenning of my usual tactics. They avoided me at every single turn they could.”

“You might have to get them to break a rule of hospitality.” Gaz shrugged, as if expecting Johnny to understand every thought he had in his head, “It might be the only way.”

He frowned in confusion, “What in hell’s bells are ye talkin’ about, Gaz? How am ah supposed tae get them tae do that if they ken our rules?”

“I’m talking about our not so obvious rules. Y’know, don’t be rude. Don’t lie. Don’t hide your face..” He gestured flippantly with his hands. 

Johnny hummed and crossed his arms on his chest, thinking about it for once. He tapped his foot on a dead leaf under his shoe, “Alright…Aye, that might jus’ work. It’s nae like a mortal could ken every single rule of ours. It would take years to manage that. They dinnae live that long.” He nodded, more to himself than anyone else, realising something at the same time, “And they were wearing a mask when ah met ‘em. A gilded one, only co’ered their eyes.” He mentioned, like it was an off-hand fact about someone’s favourite colour. It wasn’t like he had realised it at the time either, at least not until he had found the mask in question. It had been sitting just outside of a Faerie ring of mushrooms, resting on top of the same white cloak you had been wearing that night. It was as if you had taken them off and put them there yourself. But the cloak had been folded so neatly, he was sure you had not been the one to do it. You hadn’t meant to take it off. 

There was no doubt about that now that he knew what he knew. He knew you were searching for someone. You had to have found them and they had to have been the one to fold the cloak.

Nonetheless, still with the hope of finding you and the residual annoyance with being tethered, he had picked the mask and cloak from the grass. He had taken them home, hoping to use them to find you again. We all know how that ended up going.

“They were?” Gaz asked, his face screwed into pinched confusion, “You’d think that would’ve gotten them in your hands much easier right? What the hell happened?”

“Mmh.” Johnny made a short noise, “As if ah ken.”

Gaz was right, of course. If only he had realised you were wearing a mask in the first place, your situations would be switched. He wouldn’t be caught up in needing to hunt you down over some misplaced tethers. No, if he had realised, you would be in the Fae realm, feeding him grapes and ambrosia wine. There would be no need for a hunt like this. There would be no need for any of it. Johnny could never admit how right Gaz was though. Bad enough he knew about the tethers embedded within him in the first place.

“What?” His friend asked.

Johnny faked a frown, “Hm? Oh,” He cut himself short, already feeling how his tongue burned with the lie he had almost told. He grumbled under his breath against the pain, then sighed and admitted his defeat, “Yer right, ye bastart. Unfortunately…”

“Course I am.” He grinned, pleased with himself, “How did they even slip past you if they were wearing a mask? Isn’t that a pretty obvious thing to have on your face? How the hell did you not notice that sort of thing?”

“Ah think ah was tae busy tryin’ to get mahself untethered.” Johnny snapped back a response, shooting him a scathing glare.

Gaz rolled his eyes, “Sod off, you know what I meant. Even when you’re at your angriest, you’re not unobservant. You’d notice if someone was standing five feet in front of you, wearing a mask. Just like I would. Just like Ghost would. Just like The Captain would. So what changed? Why couldn’t you see it?”

“Ye’re askin’ me, mate.” He grabbed at his face with his hands, dragging them down in distress, “Ah have nae bloody clue why ah didnae see it. Ah should’ve. Ah ken better than that.” Johnny lamented, utterly frustrated. Both with himself and with his situation. 

He was a very powerful Fae, albeit one of the younger ones in existence. It wasn’t as if he felt it mattered. He shouldn’t be the one in this situation. It was an unnatural circumstance. A mortal with any sort of control over a being of the Fae realm was just asking for trouble. It was trouble. It was entirely unheard of it to happen, and yet it had happened to him. All because of his own stupidity. If it wasn’t obvious, he hated this. No, the feeling that simmered deep down inside him went further than mere hatred. It was anger and desperation and fear, rolled into a ball that only grew bigger and bigger the longer this went on. This was loathing. This was detestation. He loathed this. He detested it.

“I don’t know. It makes no sense. You should have noticed it.” Gaz shook his head, “Maybe they cast a spell on you? Made you more stupid than usual?” He cracked a quite obvious joke, a casual smirk on his face.

Johnny glared at him, his nose scrunched up in annoyance. However, the more he thought about it, the more it made sense. Maybe a magic spell was the reason behind his recent bout of being unobservant. He had worked with quite a few witches in his time, and he had always found them the rather vengeful type. It would indeed be under a witch’s purview to go searching through the Fae world for someone dear to them. It would also be under a witch’s purview to seek out power, especially power held over a Fae. If you were a witch, it would make more sense than if you were a mere mortal. He nodded, his expression smoothing, “Actually, ye might just be right.”

“Well, that’d be impressive if I was being serious, but alas, I was just joking.” He shrugged, laughing a bit, “What makes you think that anyways?”

“It would make sense, wouldn’t it? They kenned a suspicious amount about our rules…They kenned how to get in, and where…Hell’s bells, how else would ye explain me ending up in their hold? What else could they be but a witch?”

Johnny knew how absolutely bonkers he sounded, but he didn’t care. He just knew that you were a witch. You had to be. Even if you didn’t radiate witchly power like most did, you had to be. He was convinced of it.

“I guess so, but didn’t you say they were just a mortal? Like, definitively?” Gaz frowned, “How can they be both mortal and witch?”

“Ah dinnae ken yet, but ah will find out. Ah’ll make sure of it.” He pressed his fist into the palm of his hand, promising it both to himself and to you.

Gaz sighed in defeat, “Just another thing to be added to the list of things we need to look into.” His lips pursed as he leaned back. A pair of girls across the park caught their attention. Gaz waved playfully to the two of them and they returned the gesture with pink blushes, then they scurried off down the park’s concrete path. He chuckled at their reaction, “Mortals are so easy to play with.” He smiled. Johnny watched as the angles of his friend’s face grew sharper as he thought about it.

He grinned too, also enjoying the classic mortal reaction to them. No matter how long they lived, it never quite got old when they charmed mortals into complete shyness. They often had different reactions too, all dependent on the uniqueness of the mortal.

Of course, his thoughts returned to you. Most mortals would’ve been overjoyed to know they captured a Fae. Not you, however. 

No, you ran from him, like a scared little bug. Quite the proper reaction, he liked to think. Too few on the mortal place cowered in their presence anymore.

While he had enjoyed how you ran and hid from him at the time, he was now just frustrated with it. How dare you hide from him?

“I suppose we should go then.” Gaz got to his feet, wiping the dust from the ground off of the material of his jeans.

“Why?”

“You want to catch your mortal, yeah?”

“Duh, o’course ah do.”

“Then we need to come up with a plan for it. Something to outsmart them like they did you. To accomplish that, we need to research.” Gaz explained, trailing off as if expecting Johnny to finish his thoughts for him.

Johnny just stared at him, expecting him to continue on.

He did not,

He rolled his eyes, “Let’s jus’ go. We’ll figure it out when we get there.”

The two of them made their way deep into the forest, returning to their own thoughts and ideas on what to do about everything that had happened. They walked until they found one of plenty existing Faerie rings that cropped up. They stepped inside. 

To an innocent bystander, two men had disappeared within the blink of an eye. They were no longer in the mortal world.

To Johnny and Gaz, they were home, and they had plenty of work for them to do.

[inseasofgreen]

What kingdom is the most peaceful and which is war hungry? How do the two get along?

first - I'm so sorry for how late i'm answering these life happened rip.

second - amazing question that ties into poto beautifully

third - under cut because it's kinda long and rambly

Zenier is for sure the most peaceful out of all of Nyrus. They don't even have an official military as strong as other kingdoms do. Zenier is a theocracy who is ruled over a High Priestess chosen by the goddess, Nae'lia, who teaches peace and calls for violence last. So while Zenier does have some form of military, they rely heavily on trade deals and alliances to keep peace between them and other countries. Which has worked and only been strengthened by the Dragon's Reach Treaty that has stood strong for around 500 years prior to poto's beginning. This doesn't mean Zenier can't hold their own in times of war however, the Zaentiraeal are strong in their holy land by the magic that flows through it's soil. That and they are fiercely protective of their kin. All Zaentiraeal know some basics of magic combat, though often treated more as sports it's ingrained into their country for a reason. Holy statute 1-7-5 is a law that once enacted pretty much puts Zenier in war mode. All men, women, and children over the age 14 are asked to go to their closest church/citadel/military base to basically have an exam to see if they fit the requirements for serving and what they'll be able to do physical/educational wise.

Vultis I would say is the most war hungry. And not even against other nations, Vultis has had very few royal families who have lasted over 3 generations before being over thrown in some manner or another. Add in the fact Vultis grew from a tiny little city state to being the largest nation in Nyrus via conquering, they literally are never not in some sort of war. Though I will say the fact there have been so many emperor's is something that is deeply routed into their past. Before they had dragons, the people of Vultis where a bunch of tribes with their own power struggles between tribes and sub tribes. Dragon's being added into the mix only added fuel to the flame (lmao sorry). King Baaz’an wasn't the first King of Vultis (or what was then just the city-state Pyros) but he is the one who is looked at as a "founder" so to speak. Baaz'an had Khaaj'mor built around the Volcano the Zrato where born in and set the precedent that modern day Vultis still follows. Any man can sit the Vultis throne, it's a matter of taking it and keeping it. Add the might of dragon's to the ambitions of men and you have a recipe for disaster. Many emperors and nobility have tried to stigmatize being lowborn/being born out of wedlock but the fact Baaz'an was both of those and it's his throne they still sit their asses on well... a bit awkward to write a law saying it can't be done. I mean it is law don't get me wrong, it's just lowkey in poor taste imo. As for their conquering, that also started with Baaz'an, though it's been a hot minute since they've set their sights on another nation. The times they have conquered, it for resources, an insulted Emperor, or a calling from their main deity, Zhareem. Which brings me to how Zenier and Vultis get along.

I don't want to go too deep into the lore of the gods in this, but it is a big reason of why Vultis and Zenier have been at odds pretty much since the birth of the Zrato. Nae'lia, Goddess of the Moon, has a sister, Talali which you guessed it, is the Goddess of the Sun. Zhareem was in love Nae'lia and Talali both, and they both fell in love with him, not knowing that he was pursuing them both romantically. When they learned the truth, the sisters agreed to want nothing to do with him. Zhareem however has always been drawn fire and vice versa. Talali's draw towards him was too strong and long story short - Talali chose Zhareem over her sister. To make it worse, it was Talali's flame that sparked the birth of the Zrato, the dragon riding mortals who lack the same "decorum" as Nae'lia's Zaentiraeal.

With that in mind, Zenier and Vultis have been known enemies at worst, and rocky allies at best. If you could even use the word allies. Not only are their gods at odds at each other, everything about how their nation run is different. Where Nae'lia choses the Zenier leader, Vultis's leader is chosen by power and popularity. Zenier has a sense of kinship and unity that Vultis laughs at. Though both were represented by their rulers during the signing of the Dragon Reach Treaty, Zenier and Vultis have never truly been close in any regard.

Hopefully this is coherent it's late and I need to get to sleep for work tomorrow. Thank you for the ask Wyked!! I'll get to the other's in a few days hopefully.

Onto...

🏵️Scarabia🏵️

So I believe they have the least amount of members out of all my headcanoned dorms so if y'all can think of some more villains for me to twst, I'd be more than happy to toss them in here lmao.

🦦Kalim Al-Asim🦦

omg they have an otter emoji cute!!

(he/him) Transmasc - Panromantic Asexual

My baby boy is so precious omggg

- I really didn't change a lot from the og design tbh, I love him. I did give him rounder and bigger eye for that cute puppy-eyed look.

- Stuck some freckles on him and gave him a tooth gap for max cutie patootie status. Oh, and some scars from previous assassination attempts.

- I'm really partial to Kalim and Ruggie or Kalim and Silver personally (or both, Kaiplim does have two hands for a reason) but I see them as a little friend group regardless and he LOVES spoiling them.

- Ruggie at first befriended him for the money aspect but eventually grew to like being around Kalim anyways. Silver just likes to listen to Kalim talk. Was also his first friend outside of Diasomnia.

- Kalim has ADHD and dyslexia, making it super hard for him to concentrate in class so Ruggie helps him study for tests (Kalim always bring food along with so it's mutually beneficial lmao). Because of this, people end up thinking he's dumb but he's super intelligent, he just can't concentrate easily. Crewel lets him have different fidgets in class as long as he doesn't accidentally disrupt his potion-making with them.

- Kalim's also highly empathetic and view himself as a support to all (maybe I am a Kalim kin too, fuck). He loves to listen to other and help out. God, he's such a cutie omg. Also has really good memory in specific about remembering who tells him what.

God I love Kalim so much, the cutie patootie. Still on Book 4 so I don't know ALL of the shit that happens yet but y'know it's gonna make me cry.

Next is

🐍Jamil Viper🐍

(he/it) Agender - Gay Demi-romantic Asexual

If I didn't think I changed a lot about Kalim, I changed practically nothing about Jamil lol.

- Biggest change was giving him a much redder skin tone. Not only is it closer to Jafar's, I felt it would look really nice with his general colour palette.

- Made his face a bit more angular and 'snake-like', plus some fangs but you can't see them lmao. Dimples because every time this man actually smiles, a new angel is born istg.

- I love him and Azul as a dynamic because it's two really emotionally constipated people dancing around each with a fun amount of delulu on Azul's part, let's be honest. Lowkey could be toxic or healing, who knows?

- He purposefully cooks too much some times as an excuse to give some away. I see him slides over an extra thing of food to Azul at some point as a sort of 'repayment' for like give him the homework or something. (Azul loves his cooking but wouldn't say that to his face for a hundred dollars lol).

- He and Trey cook together and Trey is like the only other person Jamil trusts in the kitchen with him. Trey teaches Jamil his family's baking recipes and in turn, Jamil share his cultural recipes. Trey 🤝 Jamil solidarity.

- Hella competitive streak which means Azul and Floyd find it incredibly easy to push his buttons.

- I know this is a lot of AshenViper but I love them lol. Azul tries to flirt with Jamil subtly like in the mer fashion of penguin-pebbling but Jamil is obviously unaware of the custom so he doesn't get it. (He does keep all the little shiny things, though over his dead body would he tell Azul that.)

Enough about my two favourite dumbasses... now for my ocs!

🌅Dareen Irfan🌅

Third Year - (she/her) Nonbinary - Sapphic Asexual

God, this is just the dorm for asexuals, huh?

- Dareen is twisted from the Cave of Wonders! I could not for the life of me tell what kind of cat it was so she's kinds ambiguous, especially since there's already another tiger.

- She is a very knowledgeable person and knows pretty much everyone. If you need information about someone you wanna ask out, she's your girl. She love playing matchmaker but respects when someone is not reciprocating and helps the rejected party move on.

- She and Oki are friends and like to do tarot readings together. (She may or may not have a massive crush on her but refuses to say anything lol). Both are very interested in cultural practices and hang out a ton to talk about them. (God I love sapphics)

- She's actually also on the basketball team and she and Jamil get along pretty well. She's very fast on the courts and Oki attends all of her games.

Next is one of my favourite designs...

🌼Chunying Liu🌼

Third Year - (they/it/she) Genderfluid - Aromantic Bisexual

- Twisted from Shan Yu, from Mulan! I kept the greyer undertones in her skin which really makes her standout among the warmer ones lol.

- Kept the gold eyes, I love how piercing they look, and darker makeup. Turned the furs into little earring tassel things, idk just for fun.

- Definitely outdoorsy type, she loves to hike around a ton, bring some other classmen out with her. She comes from a hella cold climate so she's wearing shorts until it hits the negatives. Loves horseback riding too and her family has their own stables.

- Natural leader, I can see it being the captain of a sports team, maybe like cross-country or something. She and Leona are probably pretty similar in demeanour as captains, make of that what you will.

- Her and Rook do archery practise together and she actually gets along great with Epel, they bond over winter sports and whatnot.

Time for probably one of my favourites out of my ocs!

🐯Chanda Singh🐯

Second Year - (she/her) - Bisexual

God I love her sm.

- Twisted from Shere Khan from the Jungle Book, which I looked up and it takes place in India so she's Indian.

- I didn't want to give her solid orange hair so I settled for some streaks and I love how they look. Gave her a bindi, some thicker brows based on a Pinterest reference that I though was GORGEOUS, and some beautiful hazel eyes.

- She's also likes to be outside but more in the lazy cat way. She love to sunbathe and tends to be spotted around the greenhouse too. Chanda and Leona having cat solidarity lmaoooo. Though her behavior is solely because she's a cat and not depression lol.

- I dunno why but I think she's a totally history nerd, specifically fashion history. Ask her anything about the origins of corsets or sarees and she's go on a long rant about it. She loving drawing, namely fashion sketches and she and Vil work together whenever she makes some prototypes.

Finally!

First Year (she/they) Unlabelled Gender - Bicurious?

- Twisted from Iago! She's so cute lol. I gave her dyed hair (and pronouns) and she's a freshman.

- Kinda takes after Jamil and enjoys cooking, one of the primary people that makes food for the parties. She and Kalim get along really well since they're both really social extraverts.

- She's loves flowers and tends to decorate the dorm with them, changing them out when there's an event coming up.

That's most of everything for Scarabia, I hope you enjoyed! Tyty once again and I love seeing y'all's tags omg!🩷🩷🩷

saw you were doing requests. can you do an error sans x reader [platonic] where the mc helps him with his phobia?

Hello! So sorry for taking forever! I think the author curse is real because, no lie, about a week after I started writing I caught 'rona for the second time, got hospitalized, nearly died in surgery, got fired from my first job then a little while later a family member died. But I'm chilling now 👍 looking at the positives - like being happy I put my mom's toxic boyfriend in jail >:] it's about the small wins lmao.

ERROR SANS x READER (Platonic)

Pronouns:

Error: he / they

Reader: you / they

I feel like Error would be both very easy to become friends with but also very difficult.

Like a cat...

I mean he would have very specific requirements to be friends but they're easy requirements. The difficult part is finding out what they are without scaring him off lol.

It'd be stuff like not touching them, not being too loud / obnoxious, respect boundaries, show interest in his obsessions but not too much knowledge on them (doesnt like being one-uped in his obsessions) etc.

I feel like he's okay with loud people btw, he just rather you not invade his space when doing stuff and rather have a warning to put on muffs to help regulate sound.

Totally would knit you some gifts, though. Each one comes with an insult as an excuse, though. Scarf? Its because you're a feeble human that dies at the slightest change smh 😒 gotta make sure their entertainment doesn't perish.

Anyways - onto the specific request -

I think the best way to help him would to be encourage him but not force anything. I lowkey kin Error so I'm kind of (very much) projecting because thats my only point of reference for a healing arc lmao. Ill explain my thoughts, tho.

I think he needs encouragement because he's stubborn and wouldn't change otherwise. You'll probably have to reason and bargain why he should do it and then encourage him.

He probably doesn't like change in the first place so that ontop of not seeing a point in doing it makes him stubborn to try.

But I do think it's possible to get him to try to get over his phobia. It'll take a while of getting them to warm up to the idea, but you can get there.

Also I know some people think you may have to force him because he's so stubborn, but he has obvious anger issues or some form of emotional disregulation and, in my experience, forcing him is a sure fire way to set them off and make them resent the mere idea of changing or becoming better. He may play along but it will make everything very difficult and not actually help him.

He'd just retreat and revert the first chance he gets if he were forced. So bad idea.

But once he's in a safe space (the antivoid) he will try your ideas. A bit begrudgingly because approaching phobias is very distressing for most people. But he's trying for you.

I think the best approach would just be... a form of exposure therapy? Like being a bit closer during parallel play. Doing your own things in closer proximity than normal. Allowing him to adjust to your presence being there in a different way.

And slowly moving up from there. Like adding small things to the routine so it can feel normal for them. Like instead of normal promises you guys start making pinky promises.

Because routines are likely important to him since laws / rules have been shown to be important to him. So making touch one of those rules / routines shows it can be a good thing / normal rather than a distressing situation. It also give incentive to do it more since routines 'shouldnt' be broken.

From there it's just a matter of finding work arounds and adding things to the routine. Having big sit-downs and 'sessions'probably isn't his style since it dramatizes it and makes it an exhausting thing. So it's better to just ask or tell him you want to try something new and if he would like to try / what would be the best way to do that. Like hand holding!

I think the first time he holds your hand it wouldn't be a big / emotional thing for him. He'd be more focused on not losing his shit at first. But the second or third time he'd be more emotional in a '/positive' way. Like he'd probably still look disgruntled and disgusted but he'd likely be staring off into space, lost in thought.

He likes having that intimacy (intimacy can be more than lewd or romantic btw) with you. The closeness with someone trustworthy.

But like ew touching lol. So he's kinda confused. He's happy but a little grossed out. Like handling a baby - the child is cute but inexplicably sticky with unknown substances. Pros and cons.

I think once hes more comfortable with you and touching he'd randomly shoulder check you 💀 they try not to do it roughly but he's quite literally an emotionally unstable universe destroyer, so its a work in progress to figure out how to do it gently lmaoo

But it's kind of the easiest way he's found so far to show affection on his terms without feeling trapped or forced in some way. Hugs are too cagey and holding hands can feel like too much since someone is grabbing him. Those are for when he feels better - so shoulder bumps are safe and affectionate.

You may be knocked to the floor the first time tho 💀 they swear they weren't trying to beat your ass.

Also once touching in small doses has been unlocked they will become weirdly more mean? But not in a genuinely aggressive way.

It's like how some introverts become loud dummies when they start to like you.

He just opens up more about his thoughts and feelings and teases you more because he feels like you have proven to be safe.

And it's not subtle either. No slow transition. Y'all will just be chilling one day and he drops some out of pocket comment about something and you're left there wondering why he's suddenly so bitchy like??? My guy??

He'll insult you too (not anything serious. And if you're okay with it.) But its how someone insults a cat, y'know?

Like if you're eating some snack he disapproves of he'll call you a stinky rat or smth. Its just *sees nachos and cheese in your hands* "stinky little garbage man/woman/rat"

No context given. You're just The Trash Thing(/aff) now.

Others are not given the mercy, though. If someone is annoying you will hear about it and he will tear them to shreds verbally.

Also if you two become more familial than just friends you will have the most viscous parental figure / sibling / etc. Ever.

Someone break your heart? They'll break the jackass' bones. Fair trade, yeah? Plz restrain him before half the city is demolished. Pls..

But like, he understands if you're just venting. He can calm down if you're complaining and venting. But if you seem really genuinely in distress he gets really pissed off. He'll start out shit talking the problem too then get a little too worked up lmao

They mean well, just get passionate about their loved ones.

Also pray / hope that ink never finds out about you because they will beat that dorks non-existent ass and you'll have to deal with them ranting for 2-4 hours.

Once they're okay enough you two will end up sitting shoulder to shoulder with a scarf or blanket wrapped around you two. I don't make the rules 🤷‍♂️ just enforce quality time.

Happy Halloween to y'all :) here's some sillies dressed up for the occasion 🫶

Reason for each costume below the cut

Lara and Pico as Lucy and David (Cyberpunk: Edgerunners)

People who have been following me probably know about my Cyberpunk AU and how I self-projected my own ship on Lucy and David HSAJHSJSA They both just have lots of similarities and thought it'd be cool to dress the former up in the latter's attire!

Lurien and Kira as Zhongli and Hu Tao (Genshin Impact)

I WOULD'VE DRAWN KIRA AND QUIRREL INSTEAD IN DIFFERENT COSTUMES BUT... I couldn't miss the opportunity of doing Lurien and Kira instead with this idea.

Hu Tao is actually a big inspo when I was creating Kira, so it's rather fitting to put her in her clothes. But what I realized next is that it's also fitting to put Lurien in Zhongli's outfit! Mainly bc the latter has the same Father-Daughter bond as the former! They just overall have lots of similarities too :)

Lara and BB as Aziraphale and Crowley (Good Omens)

THERE'S ACTUALLY LIKE... NO REAL LORE REASON ON WHY I PICKED THESE TWO. I lowkey kin Aziraphale and has loved Good Omens since years ago and basically just wanted an excuse to dress up as them with someone as "my Crowley" HDJAHSJAHD
