Main master list

𓆉

I don’t remember a time in my life where me and Quinn Hughes weren’t neighbors.

Me and Quinn Hughes have been neighbors for what felt like a lifetime

He was always in my life I was always in his.

It wasn’t any better that both of our dads were pretty good friends either

From the moment I met Quinn Hughes I knew he would be the death of me

But some of my earliest memories of him - messy haired and wild running wild through the grass while my older brother chased after him

Did I mention that he and my older brother were best friends- like stuck to the hip

Well that just makes it 10 times worst for me, I can’t like my older brothers best friend that’s just wrong in so many ways

Quinn wasn’t just Quinn he never had been I tried to see him as just Quinn but I couldn’t I saw him in a different way but I could never tell my brother or him NEVER

𓆉

“You’re late”, my older brother grumbled as I slid my way through the party that my dads girlfriend had organized

I rolled my eyes and looked around “it looks like I didn’t miss much”

My brother sighed “that’s not the point, none of my friends are here and my sister wasn’t here, I got pretty bored”

I chuckled “wow my brother admitting he loves my company”

he groaned “I never said that, I rather be annoying you than talking to all these old people who I don’t even remember meeting when I was like 4 years old”

I laughed than I got a good look at the crowd and I see Ellen Hughes

She’s been like a mom to me ever since I could remember, since my mom left when I was a little girl.

I had to go talk to her it’s felt like ages since we’ve talked

I turned back to my brother “I’m gonna go talk to Ellen, see ya” I turned to walk towards Ellen’s direction before my brother tried to bribe to stay with him

Ellen saw me before I could say hi, she excused herself from the conversation she was having and met me half way and gave me the biggest hug ever

“Y/N it’s so nice to see you, it’s felt like ages” Ellen said with the biggest smile on her face

I smiled “ I know I’ve just been so busy with college and hockey”

Ellen smiled and nodded with understanding “oh yes if heard going number 1, in the PWHL draft next year after you graduate college”

I smiled “oh stop I don’t even think I’ll be drafted”

Ellen shook her head “of course you will, I’ve seen the way you’ve played all these years and I know you’re gonna do a lot of great things for women in sports”

Ellen always knew what to say to make me believe in myself, I mean she did raise 3 successful NHL players she had to know what to say and she never failed to make me smile

“Thank you Ellen that means a lot to me, I hope I could just encourage girls to pick up that stick and play a damn game”

Ellen chucked and we started talking about all sorts of things

𓆉

As the party continued it had gotten more and more packed, my dads girlfriend really did invite a lot of People

I was in my own thoughts until saw a certain someone enter the room with his brothers

Quinn Hughes

God he looked so good, why did he have to look this good especially today when I’m here

Then I see my best friend Gabriela and all the thoughts about Quinn go away

“Is that Y/N L/N the PWHL Number one prospect” my best friends gasps

I chucked Gabriela always knew how to make me laugh especially when Quinn was around

“Omg is that famous New York Times author Gabriela Robert’s” I copied her enthusiasm

We both laughed and we hugged deeply

“God I’ve missed you so much Y/N, you don’t even know I really wish we went to the same college”

I sighed, it’s true I should of just went to university of Michigan I mean it’s a good school, but I just needed to get away from Michigan I’ve lived here my whole life I needed a change and that’s what drew me to commit to University of Wisconsin

“I know gabs and I’m sorry, I just couldn’t stay stuck here for the rest of my life” I sighed sadly

“Of course I’m not mad or blaming you, you do you I just miss you but hey if you did attend u of m you might not have the opportunity’s you have now, so it’s for the better” Gabriela smiled at me

She always knew what to say and I loved her for it.

Me and Gabriela continued to talk but I still felt myself looking for him and Gabriela noticed this

“So when are going to tell Quinn how you feel” Gabriela looked at me with those concerning eyes

“Gabriela come on, we both know he doesn’t and will never see me like that” I’m sad but it’s the truth

Quinn only will ever see me as his best friends annoying little sister who hasn’t even graduated college yet

“Oh my god Y/N if only you could see the way he’s looking at you right now” i blinked what, i thought as I looked in her eye direction

And then I saw him staring right at me with so much love in his eyes and then he saw me where my eyes were looking and looked away

“He was probably staring at someone behind me or something” I try to convince myself that what I said was true

“Sure Y/N keep telling yourself that, I just hope you guys can stop being in denial and just admit your feelings to each other one day” Gabriela was right I had to tell him I just didn’t know how.

𓆉

I found myself thinking while outside at the end of the dock of my dads lake house he bought a couple summers ago

The sum was just setting, the lake looked beautiful and the smell of tree and nature was just amazing

My thoughts were interrupted my someone taping my shoulder and it was him, Quinn

My palms got sweaty and my feet stoped dangling and we’re just straight

“Mind if I sit with you?” He asked, he didn’t even need to ask

“Sure, I always enjoy the company” I shakily replied, my hands gesturing to the spot beside me

He sat down and our legs touched just for a second and I felt my heart beating so fast

“So how’ve you been” I asked first to get rid of this tension we had

“I’ve been good, you know just focusing on hockey and my captaincy” he replied while looking at me for a second

“Oh yeah I heard congrats on becoming the captain, how’s that been” I replied

“It’s tough and has its ups and downs but I’m managing” Quinn sighs and looked down

“So what have you been up too?” He asked to get the tension off of him

“ you know, hockey and trying to keep up my academics at the same time” I replied as I chuckled a little

He laughed “hey I heard your the top prospect for the PWHL that’s huge, congrats” he nudged my shoulder

Oh my god.

“Yeah trying to keep myself humble instead of bragging about it” I replied while laughing

He laughed and looked at me for a couple seconds before I looked at him

“What?” I asked first

“N-nothing, you’re just beautiful” did he really just say that

I didn’t know what to say, we just kept on looking at each other and he moved first

He connected our lips together I put my hand on his check while as he put his left hand around my shoulder to deepen the kiss

I pulled away first and looked up at him in the eyes

He spoke first “I think it’s always been you Y/N, ever since we were kids I think apart of me was in-love with you and I just didn’t want to admit it” he spoke softly with so much love in his eyes

“Will you do me the honor and letting me be your boyfriend?” I could cry but I didn’t I just pulled him into another kiss

As I pulled away “is that a yes” got he’s such a idiot but he’s my idiot

I laughed “yes Quinn Hughes, you can do me the honor of being my boyfriend” he looked down at me and kissed me and we pulled away we were wrapped in each others arms as we looked at the sunset

Thank you for making the first move Quinn Hughes, it’s was nothing less than I imagined.

SansNautica Sneak Peak - Investigating the Nest

It has been a while since I did one of these.

But I wanted to write more out of Killer's POV.

This is right after he and Sans managed to escape the reaper leviathans. Story [Here]

Now we continue on and see what happens :3 another drabble concerning the gangs pov of the main story.

*------------------------------------------*

The next day they spend waiting for he mates to come pick them up.

Killer has complete faith that his mates will come get him and bring him back to their nest.

The biggest issue is making sure that Little Flippers doesn’t try to swim off.

Killer quickly snatches him as he starts to crawl out of their safe little den. Killer points towards the exit and signs Danger. He points to Little Flippers and points to the nest he made and signs Stay.

Little Flippers frowns but it honestly just looks like a pout.

Honestly! With how casual he is being about going out you would think they hadn’t just escaped being eaten by like five reaper leviathans!

Once they finally manage to get Little Flippers into their nest he is never allowed to leave. The little guy does not have any self-perseverance.

It is okay! they will get him food and swim with him in the safe area in the cove their nest is in.

They just need to get Little Flippers there. Which will be easy as the shiver will come pick him up and they will bring Little Flippers home too!

Killer wishes he had time to hunt however, his tail still hurts  a lot and even if that weird stuff that Little Flipper had helped it doesn’t mean it is healed just yet. Some food would be amazing and help him a lot but that would include leaving their nest.

And Killer does not trust Little Flipper to not make a break for it.

Instead Killer will make the gigantic sacrifice of just laying in his newly made nest with Little Flippers tugged in his arms. He is so tiny! And is so light! No wonder Cross just loves to hold the other, Killer can see the appeal.

If Little Flippers would just go back to sleep. The other looking completely relaxed and open had been amazing! The trust he was putting in him!

Now however he is awake and motions towards the exit after pointing at them both and signing Go. Killer raises a brow and shakes his skull before making the sign for No.

To be fair, if Killer could he would tell him ‘Absolutely not and don’t even think about doing something that dangers.’ Sadly he does not have the needed signs for that and will have to make do.

Little Flipper pouts at him from inside his arms. Killer grins as he nuzzles the tiny skull but it seems Little Flipper is too annoyed to allow the gentle affection as he struggles to get out of Killer’s arms. Killer is sad to let go of him but does so.

Little Flippers is quick as he crawls towards the exit. Killer knows he sounds panicked “No no wait Little Flippers. You don’t want to go out that is dangerous!” and he goes after him as fast as he can. Which isn’t very fast at all sadly.

He pokes his skull out and looks around before spotting the crafty selkie on top of the mushroom head that Killer had made their nest in.

Killer huffs “You really don’t want to do this sweety. Just come back into the nest and wait with me for it others.” Wait unless… “Are you hungry? I can get you food easily!” Killer must have left the worst reputation with the tiny skeleton. Killer hadn’t meant to get stuck in the reaper leviathan area! It just happened!

Little Flippers motions between them and then into the distance, he signs Go again.

Killer frowns as he waits the other. He makes a show of snuggling into the nest he made as he looks at the other “See? Very comfy. Lets just wait here okay?” He stares at the other. Hoping he will just go back into the nest Killer made. They could cuddle and nap as they just lay together. Let their scents mix more as they both get their well deserved rest. It would be amazing!

Little Flippers points into the distance again.

Killer sighs and grumbles as he pulls himself out of the den. His tail aches but fine. He will go with the little selkie and make sure he is okay. Maybe he can convince him later to return with him and then all is well.

He makes sure to keep a tight but careful hold on Little Flipper as he swims them both down. Little Flipper is smiling brightly at him as he motions him into a direction and he sighs as he goes into that direction.

Killer knows he could just take the other back to their nest but he doesn’t want to make the other scared. They worked hard to earn his trust and that is important if you want to be shiver mates! Doesn’t mean that Killer can’t try to convince him to turn around and go the other way. Sadly, it turns out that Little Flipper is just as stubborn as he is a spitfire and sweet. Sigh. Don’t get him wrong, it is great and Killer loves the other’s personality already! He will fit in great with the rest of the shiver!

But please Little Flippers stop being stubborn and brave and just let Killer take you back to the nest!

Instead they just continue to swim through the mushroom forest and they cut through a small kelp forest and over the red grassy terrain.

They get very close to the blood kelp area but Little Flippers just points past it. Which is good because Killer would have just let all his good manners go and instead took Little Flippers straight to the nest. Killer is not entering the blood kelp area willingly.

By the time they get to the area with the drop off and very little plants his tail really hurts. His body is starting to ache and Killer really wants to sleep. Little Flippers, meanwhile, just smiles and points towards the drop off.

Yeah… no.

He pulls the selkie closer. But it seems sweetheart had enough as he just points and starts to tug with his limited swimming.

Killer is once again reminded that the other sacrificed his swimming aid and so he pushes his nerves down as he goes the direction Little Flippers asks of him.

They swim over the edge but that is when Killer sees a strange maybe rock formation? He didn’t think something like this was on the cliffs in this area and he is very confused. He stares a moment longer before it hits him.

It is like those other landdweller bases!!

This is Little Flipper’s nest. Little Flipper took him to his nest!!

Killer pulls the other as close as he can as his purring is very loud.

Nest. Nest. Nest. Nest. Nest.

He is so happy.

Little Flippers looks amused as he nods. He points towards the base and makes the sign for mate. Killer can’t help but snort. Little Flippers always seemed to confuse the signs for ‘Mate’, ‘Prey’, ‘Nest’ and ‘Want.’

Killer wonders which conclusions he made for himself on what those words mean but that is alright. He tries and they are generally able to figure it out what he means. Killer happily swims over to the nest and looks it over curiously. Now where will they lay down?

Little Flipper must have felt unsure about staying in an area he didn’t know. He wanted to go back to where he felt safest and- and he wanted to make sure Killer came along! And was safe as well!

Killer’s soul is melting. He wants to nuzzle and snuggle their future little mate. He will not kiss the other just yet, Criss-Cross still has dips and Killer wants to respect that.

Cross had been so nervous about doing every courting and wooing step correctly and Killer would not ruin or complicate this for their nervous mate.

Little Flippers pats his shoulder and leads him towards this stranger circular metal piece with some see through material. He glances inside curiously and oh is there no water in there? Strange.

Little Flippers signs Stay to him as he reaches towards the metal piece. Killer nods as he lets go of the other and he crawls into his den. Killer watches as Little Flippers stands up and rushes off around a corner. He wonders what he is doing…

It doesn’t take long before Little Flippers is outside again. Killer watches as he moves with determination as he holds a new thing in his hands. Killer really wants to investigate is. Especially when it just seems to magic stuff into existence! A whole new structure! Bigger than what was made before! Little Flipper goes to the sea floor as he makes more things. Now just stuff that looks to be made of the metal stuff Dust likes so much. But with sand in it? Little Flippers put some of the kelp seed clusters into that sand before, with some difficulty, swimming towards him and pointing towards the new structure.

They get there and Little Flippers signs at him to Stay so Killer does as Little Flippers disappears into the structure again.

Killer can’t help it as he swims up and pokes his skull up into the little air bubble.

The nest looks weird on the inside. It all looks white and very weird. It is hard to explain.

Killer instead just watches as Little Flippers caries stuff around and message with some stuff only to have the large metal arms move around. Little Flippers ties the stuff that looks kinda like Dust’s kelp hood to the two metal arms.

Little Flipper puts even more of the fake-kelp stuff into it.

His curiosity wins out as he speaks up “What are you doing?”

Little Flippers looks at the thing he had been messing with which may move the metal arms. Only to hear him speak!

Just! Speaking! Killer doesn’t know what he is saying but that is totally him saying things! So it is a matter of him not having air!

His voice is calm and a bit deeper than Killer expected but it sounds really nice! Maybe they can teach him their language!

Little Flippers notices him staring but just messes with the same thing as before and the metal limbs move the net of fake kelp into the water. Little Flippers grins to him as he continues to speak before signing Go between Killer and the net.

Mh? Okay? Killer looks at it as he swims over. It is in the water which is nice. He touches some of the fake kelp and is shocked to notice that it is really soft!

Oh!! It is a nest! Little Flippers made him a nest!

Killer grins as he dives in and rolls up in the fake kelp and purrs. Oh it is already so comfortable and soft. He loves it! He rests his tail on the made net nest and oh it supports it just right! the pressure is off his tail and he is just left purring as he watches Little Flippers.

Little Flippers is saying stuff and Killer just enjoys the sound as he grabs a fish that swims just a little too closely. He needed a snack.

He watches Little Flipper leave to go deeper into his nesting area and that is alright. They are in a relatively safe area, hidden away and out of obvious view. And Little Flippers is inside this structure he made himself. Meaning he is all right and they both are safe and Killer can relax.

Killer is just watching the tunnel thing as he purrs comfortably. Only to see Little Flippers walk out again and-

He isn’t wearing his selkie skin. Instead something bright blue that covers him and only just leaves the landdweller legs visible. Just the blue material and the other smiles at him brightly. He then raises something and oh! That is that white box with a green cross on it! The same that had held the stuff that helped with his tail!

Little Flippers looks at him to make sure it is alright and Killer grins as he lets the other check his tail. More of that amazing stuff is rubbed on it and his tail already feels better. Next Little Flippers wraps more of the white fake kelp and- oh! He is bandaging his wounds!

Killer feels fully relaxed and knows he is purring as he watches Little Flipper do his thing. Moving stuff around and snacking on other food.

Killer yawns as he watches him carry much fake kelp to a corner of the area they are in. “What are you doing?” He doesn’t expect an answer he can understand but it is nice to ask.

Little Flipper just drops the materials down and starts to nudge things around. Oh! He is trying to make a nest near his nest?

Killer grins and purrs “It is oaky sweetheart. You can just lay with me.” He makes some grabby hands at the other but then he decides to get the message clear. He points to Little Flippers, signs Go and then points towards the nest that Killer is already in. before finishing it up with Stay. Nice and close and comfortable!

Little Flippers stares at him with a confused skull tilt before looking amused and laughing and oh that is a nice sound… very nice…

Little Flippers ends up shaking his skull which does disappoint Killer but he accepts it. It does confused him to see Little Flippers point towards his- Clothes! That was the word for it! Either way little Flippers points towards his blue clothes before pointing towards the water and signing Danger. Huh?

Killer stares at him as Little Flippers continues to try and explain this and it takes him a while but Killer thinks the other means that his stuff can’t go into the water.

Which really confuses him… why wouldn’t something that is from a selkie be able to go into the water?

For now he just nods as he watches Little Flippers mess with his own tiny nest. Clearly getting his own thing ready but it doesn’t look the best. He is still learning how to make his nests it seems. But he got the basics down! The nest Killer is laying in is very soft and comfy. Clearly Little Flippers has been learning and improving a lot on his nest building.

Little Flippers frowns at the little nest he is building before clearly just giving up as he just rolls up in the little made nest. Looking cozy and comfy. Oh Killer wishes he could grab him and just hold him again.

Killer sees Little Flipper grin at him and he grins back. Little Flipper does something with that information holder and the light in the den goes dark. It is nice and cozy and no longer the harsh light. Killer sighs as he snuggles into the nest that has been created for him.

Oh this is such a treat! Maybe Killer can help Little Flippers make his own private nest in their area! A little place just for him to decorate! Killer could help him make a nest for him and Cross. Killer will absolutely help Little Flipper and Cross get together. It will be so sweet! And Killer hopes he will get a chance too!

Killer dozes as he lays in the dark. Not very tired as they just woke up but Little Flippers is very tired clearly as he sleeps.

Except he seems bothered. He keeps rolling up tighter and try to bury himself into the nest materials.

He is… shivering. Is he cold?

Does he normally have his nest in a better spot and is now cold because he wants to make sure Killer is okay?

Little Flipper opens his sockets and those pure white eye lights are slightly fuzzy with confusion as he glances around. Looking confused at the room and the very nest he is laying in. Eventually Killer manages to catch his eye.

Killer speaks gently “Hey there little spitfire. Come on, just come to this nest. We can cuddle and that will be warmer.” He holds out his arms in invitation. Please. Killer can make sure he is comfortable.

Little Flippers just continues to look confused before yawning loudly.

Killer smiles as he speaks again “I know you are tired. But you can sleep here and be comfortable while you rest.” He pats the soft nest he is laying in. He will help keep the selkie warm.

Little Flippers point to the blue clothing and points to the water before shaking his skull.

Right. That is a problem as apparently it can’t get wet.

An idea comes to him but it is risky. Little Flippers may not like the idea of being completely bare, he must be wearing that piece of clothing for a reason after all. Killer still offers the idea by pointing at the clothing before he points to the nest. Then he points to Little Flippers and points to the nest he is laying in. Killer grabs one of the parts of it and raises it, making a neat little warm spot for Little Flipper to lay in.

He seems to hesitate as he frowns. He touches the blue clothing as he glances at his own nest before looking at the spot Killer is offering.

He keeps frowning before going back into his nest and warping himself with the materials there.

Killer is honestly disappointed. Mostly because he really wanted to cuddle more with Little Flippers but also because it means Little Flippers will remain cold-

The blue piece of clothing gets removed from the little wrap that Little Flippers made of himself and he lays it carefully at the very center of his nest.

He slowly inches closer towards the water, keeping a piece of his nest wrapped around him.

Killer can’t help but smile “That is it sweety. Just slow and steady. It is okay.” He wants to wag his tail. He wants to grab him and holds him close. But he needs to let him come closer on his own. He clearly feels exposed as he made sure to still keep himself covered.

Killer has to help guide him into the nest and one splash later and Little Flippers is back in his arms and Killer embraces him. Holding him close with the wrapping as a whole. The little selkie sighs happily and snuggles closer into Killer’s hold and Killer just knows he is starting to purr already.

This is perfect.

Killer nuzzles the skull and lays with him. Perfectly content to just sleep for now.

The morning arrives much too soon before Killer wakes up with Little Flippers trying to leave the nest. Which he isn’t a fan of so Killer just hums as he holds the other tighter against him and nuzzles into him. Closing his sockets again to continue to sleep.

Little Flippers keep wiggling around and eventually he manages to leave his little cocoon and get out of the water. Killer pouts for a moment before looking curiously as he can see the full landdweller form of their little selkie. Killer saw Farm’s landdweller form a few times, both before and after he became a full selkie and joined Geno’s and Blue’s little duo to travel with the three of them. But it is still strange to see it.

He walks back towards his abandoned nest and puts on the blue clothing again. Then he walks away for a moment before returning with stuff to help his tail again. After it Little Flipper walks off, probably to get himself food again and this suspicion is confirmer very quickly as he returns chewing and biting something.

Some kind of plant. Killer offers him the fish he managed to catch, they really should stop swimming this close to Killer, Little Flipper looks between his own meal and what Killer offers and joins the side of the water and accepts the offering.

Killer grins as he watches the other eat the fish. Much better! Their little selkie needs to eat well to recover from whatever he went through.

Little Flippers glares at him and aims his fish with a throwing arm ready and he says something in his language. Killer grins as he playfully hides further into the nest. It pulls another sofft laugh from the other and Killer just knows he is purring softly.

After they ate their meal Little Flippers looks over his tail again and Killer lounges as he grins with a wink “If you wanted to feel me up you could have just asked sweety.” The other just looks at him confused.

Killer will one day be able to release all the flirting on the selkie and he will not be ready for that. Killer is going to woo him or at least get him to be flustered!

Little Flippers checks his tail again before nodding as he starts messing with those metal things again and suddenly he is released fully again as Little Flippers pulls the stuff out of the water and into another corner.

Killer grins as he swims some quick circles and it feels so good! His tail is almost fully healed already! This is amazing!

Killer grins at Little Flippers and waits as he lays in the water, ready for the other to join him. Little Flipper will probably need some time to grab his skin and put it back on but Killer can wait.

The selkie watches him from the water edge. He seems to get what Killer is waiting as he shakes his skull before pointing between himself and the nest area and signing Stay.

Killer frowns as he speaks “No it is oaky. You can come with and we can join the others.” He quickly gets to signing and pointing. He points at the selkie and then at himself and then he signs Mates.

They are straight up courting at this point! Cross is of course still main courter but it counts!

Little Flippers looks amused and says something again. Right, he can’t understand him. Is this how Little Flippers feels the whole time when Killer and his mates are communicating? Guy must have the patience of a saint to be willing to bother with them.

Killer swims a few circles as he tries to figure out how to get the other to agree to come back home with him to the others. This nest location may be fine for now but he is much too close to the path leading even deeper and the alien hunters are getting closer to the shallows.

Killer frowns before diving deeper and going to circle the area for a bit. Best scout it out to make sure he can find it again and that it is actually safe for their selkie to remain in.

Killer is studying the strange see through walls that show something that could be a nest when he sees the entry open and Little Flipper jump out.

He isn’t wearing the right swimming skin!

Killer doesn’t think as he grabs him and brings him back to the open part of the nest and quickly puts him on the dry area.

Killer glares at him “Why would you swim without your aids or your swimming skin! That is dangerous!”

Little Flippers however just looks excited as he signs Stay before rushing off.

Okay?

What is going on?

Little Flippers returns as he hides something behind his back. A large mischievous smile on his face. Killer shoots him a look. Half expecting to get another fish thrown at him.

Little Flippers sits down at the edge again before proudly showing what he was hiding as he speaks with excitement.

Killer however can’t truly hear what he is saying. Because… that are… three more.

Holy ancients.

Little Flippers found three more cuddlefish eggs?!

How?!

Killer slowly brings his hands closer to the precious little treasures. He takes the eggs one by one and stares at the see through membrane to see all three of them have the little baby inside still.

That are four eggs. Little Flippers found four cuddlefish eggs!

He stares at their future mate and the other looks away shyly. Rubbing the back of his neck as a bit of blue colours his face. He speaks before gaining a look of concentration as he signs.

He points to himself. Signs Go. Signs Danger. Then points to the eggs.

Little Flipper Go Danger Eggs?

…

Wait!

Killer stares at Little Flippers “Please tell me you didn’t go to the dunes to get one of these eggs!” He searches for what to sign before settling on making sure that the other knows not to go to dangerous places. He hopes he gets the message across to the other.

Little Flippers dares to just smile and shrug at him. He says some stuff again before motioning to himself with Stay and then pointing to Killer and signing Go.

Killer holds the eggs close to him, almost right by his soul. They are just as precious honestly. Then he motions for Little Flippers to get closer. The other tilts his skull but does as asked and waits.

Killer can’t help but purr as he nuzzles his skull all by the neck, shoulder and the skull of the others. Trying to transfer the scent as best as he can. It is a bit more of an intense scent mark than he would have done but he needs to make sure the other knows.

They all want him as mate so badly. Cross especially but Killer knows he is a close second at this point.

Killer pulls back and spots the shocked and slightly flustered look on the other’s face and he grins and winks at the other. Killer would love to do more but he promised Crossy.

With that he leaves the area and rushes home. Three very precious eggs with him.

With the one that Little Flippers found before that now makes four.

They may be able to safe the species of Cross’s fish counterparts after all!

Killer makes a flip in his swimming before pushing himself to swim faster. He needs to get home now!

making this its own post bc it ended up longer than i expected lol

a few months ago i made a post theorizing abt mumbo's lore for s10 and in retrospect the conclusion even based on ep 39 was pretty obvious However i still predicted it so yay

now onto some smaller theories ive been thinking abt since the lore drop:

i am a grumbot s10 truther. esp after all the lore in s9 with the empires crossover!! it might be a reach but i think ultimately the huge computer mumbo's building is going to be s10's version of grumbot

he hasn't kept his database updated but i'm wondering if when he built it he meant for it to connect to the computer? as like part of his memory

the main thing i'm getting tripped up on is why is there a chicken involved??? there's no way it's going to go fully according to plan, and iirc in the video he a few times describes the computer as housing his consciousness instead of a way to transfer it to something else. my gut feeling is he's going to upload his brain to the computer for the transfer, only to get stuck inside the computer. that or grian's going to get involved and complicate things lol

on the topic of grian. yes i think he's going to be part of this lore somehow. and totally not because i miss s7 and i'm delusional. the missing waffle from the start of the season just feels like a chekov's gun situation to me. like if he isn't involved in the lore AT ALL then why bother removing the waffle from the mc skin? he started aging as soon as it was gone. he had gotten it originally to replace his own soul. something happened that took grian's soul out of him, making him age rapidly/making him mortal. something is here and theres still pieces missing and its driving me crazy hgjfdg

im thinking about his starter base now too. incredibly convoluted, a home that is unreachable from the outside--you need to be (re)born into it. surrender your mortal possessions so they can be stored separately, giving yourself access to a previously locked door. meticulously end your own life to recreate a message that only you can understand. your consciousness is transferred to an enclosed, suspended space (a sort of cloud?). you can access your belongings for as long as you stay inside. mumbo's starter base wasn't separate from magic mountain row. it was the prototype.

and if you don't believe me about the bases being connected. while writing this i have picked up another piece of the puzzle. back in episode 3 of mumbo's s10, he mentions the comments were calling the mothball an impossible build structurally. do you remember what he did to make it "structurally sound?" CHICKENS. he put leads on chickens and tied the leads around fences on the support beam to look like tension cables.

so why did he abandon the mothball for this new computer? iirc, he started getting annoyed about having to remove his items each time, and not being able to access his stuff without dying each time first. there wasn't enough space in the mothball, and his items were getting stored outside instead. very inefficient. but most importantly: the structural chickens died. after that point, the mothball "fell".

so knowing that now, how is he planning on keeping this chicken alive once he puts his consciousness into it?

well! since grian is apparently the key to immortality, mumbo is putting his consciousness into poultry man.

(lmao jk for that last one could you imagine)

if you guys have any of ur own ideas/theories feel free to add onto this!! im so excited for him to reveal more of the story he's going for :D

I occasionally wish to reach out to old friends/acquaintances I haven't spoken to since high school/some other even earlier time in my life, but I have SOOO little social energy even for required tasks (like making dr phone calls or etc), I never have any leftover for extra ones, and it would be very odd to message someone I haven't spoken to in like 5 years out of the blue but then take 4 entire months to respond back lol.. My natural curiosity with nostalgia/collecting details of the past/etc. (literally if I were born a little earlier I would definitely do scrapbooking or something lol) is very strong, but, alas, not strong enough to beat out the Social Issues Demons apparently

Fic authors self rec!

thank you sm for the tag @pretentiouswreckingball

When you get tagged, post your favorite five fics that you’ve written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Spread the self-love

(summaries below, me rambling in the tags)

bite the hand | wolfstar, nonbinary sirius, exes to lovers | 120k

It’s them and Remus, it’s always going to be them and Remus. Nothing can break that. Except for themselves. Which evidently they are very good at doing… So hope is what they cling to. More than love, more than history, more than anything. - or - Sirius and Remus have gotten into a cycle of breaking up and making up, except this time is going to be different.

i regret you all the time | jegulus, death eater james | 80k

What happens when James falls for Regulus and his friends lose their trust in him?

take care of you and yours | jegulus, wolfstar, dorlily, sirius centric | currently 100k soon to be 200k

Sirius plans a fun summer at the lake with all of their friends, but it doesn't go quite to plan. Friends become more, hatred becomes love, and people unravel until there is nothing left.

the stars that bind us | jegulus, wolfstar, black family centric | currently 99k dont ask how long it will be

Regulus is an author of four, soon to be five, books all written under a pen name. They tell the stories of each of his cousins, brother, and himself, and how they left home and each other. He has done his best to keep them from finding out about his books, but what happens when they do? How do the five of them fit back together after so many years?

you had to go (i know, i know, i know) | black brothers | 3.6k

He saw it coming. At least there’s that, right? At least Sirius told him before he left. At least Regulus got to say goodbye to his brother.

kind of hilarious that I grew up exposed to lost’s impact on pop culture and have always kind of had the intention to watch it at some point, and now that I finally am, my only reaction is “waow. this shit is so ass ❤️”

listen ik lance would NOT be the type of guy™ to watch a disney movie but ik for a fact that if someone showed him treasure planet (2002) he would relate to jim hawkins sm that he would basically turn into this lol

Shoutout to my Monkees mutuals for reminding me about the Monkees and their music; now I'm thinking about how She is such a season 2 Damon talking about Katherine song.

Meanwhile, 1864 Damon is of course firmly Vampire Girl by the Misfits (he would die for her, and he did).

Also. Ive been keeping notes on the game as ive been playing (themes, motifs, imagery, literary allusions, stuff like that) and ive come to some......... worrying conclusions.

... I think I might know how the game ends and it scares me.

[therevengeoffrankenstein]

i understand that this drop is missing that zing piece bc they're holding off on releasing the next marauder hoodie but like. still.
