#i want dragon otter boy

[angelbvn]

speaking of genshin i gotta play that shit more

[zhongrin]

“honey, can you… get us a pet?”

◇ characters ◇ zhongli, al haitham, childe, tighnari, kaveh, pantalone, cyno

◇ tags ◇ fluff, crack, dragon!li

◇ a/n ◇ all i want in life is a zhongli and a al haitham with their chosen pets is that really too much to ask

𝑠𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑒𝑠 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 ⬙ 𝑚𝑎𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡 ⬙ 𝑡𝑎𝑔𝑙𝑖𝑠𝑡

zhongli, predictably, brings back a dog. before you ask, it’s a very normal dog that isn’t the size of a mountain and is unable to control the elements. it’s a common house pet, a sign of luck and auspiciousness, plus he’s a very good boy!

………. just. don’t coddle rex jr. too much, okay? rex sr. is still a half-dragon after all.

al haitham brings back a pot of some rare plant he got at the grand bazaar... what? plants are pets too. an even better version, he argues, especially since this particular one should bear small edible fruits when they grow enough. plus, they’re quiet and will let him read in peace.

hey, it’s your fault for never specifying what kind of pet you wanted him to get.

childe brings back an otter. where did he get it? no one knows. don’t ask. where will he put it? uhhh. no worries, he’ll put the otter in your bathtub for now, but he’ll commission someone to dig up a pool for them to float around! it’ll be fineeee!

tighnari sits you down and lectures you about the responsibilities of a pet owner for two straight hours to make sure you truly understand what you’re asking of him first. adopting a pet is a huge step in your life and he wants to make sure you fully understand what you’re getting into.

plus, you might want to take into consideration that your fox hybrid lover inherits that territorial behavior from his ancestors…?

kaveh jumps at the opportunity. to him, that’s like you’re giving him the green light on bringing animals home. a mistake on your part, honestly.

it’s day three and you’re now housing: an unexpectedly tame dendro slime with a withered flower on its head, two very weakened and starving desert foxes, one forest fox with one eye, and a little bird with a broken wing.

good luck.

pantalone merely chuckles yet the very next day you find the most elegant, purebred siberian forest cat delivered straight to your lavish shared abode’s doorstep. she’s groomed to perfection, well-trained, and a joy to be around.

the most beautiful cat for the most breathtaking person in his life - he thinks it’s very fitting.

cyno unexpectedly brings back a rabbit; a snow-white furred darling with ruby-red eyes that fits on top of your palm. such an innocent-looking, wee little being has become a lethal weapon in cyno’s hand. whenever you deny him of something, you will now see two pairs of eerily similar-colored eyes looking up at you with wet bunny eyes.

darn it.

like father like son, you suppose.

[a-twistedheartslonging]

Do you have a concrete idea of the animals/creatures everyone(who doesn't already have an animal connection) is based on in the beastly/inhuman au? Or are some characters in a nebulous void of "idk, we'll see"? Cuz id love a list(if it's not a bother?)

Eh, even for the guys I have main thoughts about being a certain animal, I'm fine with them doing stuff about them being something else.

But usually for certain boys, they are-

Malleus obvi being a dragon/reptile fae beast.

Leona obvi a lion beast.

Riddle as a hedgehog, bunny, weasel or some kind of rodent beast.

Idia is a drider.

Lilia is obvi a bat fae beast.

Vil is fancy harpy.

Azul obvi octopuss.

Kalim could be a sea otter or type of dessert fox beast.

Ace as a fox beast.

Cater a red panda beast.

Deuce as a badger or type of dog beast.

Ortho can be whatever he wants thanks to Idia giving him different bodies, but I like him being a Bee Bot Boy.

Epel is usually talked about as being a harpy but I like him being a cow. Others are fond of him being a bunny beast.

Jade and Floyd are obvi eels.

Rook is an owl harpy.

Jack is obvi a wolf.

Jamil is a naga.

Trey is a bear beast.

Sebek is obvi a crocodile/reptile fae beast.

Silver is a horse or unicorn beast.

Rollo is a Geep (Goat sheep mix) beast.

Ashton is perhaps an elk beast.

Trein is perhaps a bobcat or snow leopard beast.

Crowly is obvi a corvid.

Crewel is a fancy dog breed perhaps.

Sam is possibly a snake, fox, or owl type of beast.

Floyd, Kalim: The Way of Water

I was wondering how the artwork would frame the sitting boys, but I guess having Floyd floating there on his butt is fine fjeviwgxkwjwhfoen I don’t know what the alternative would be…

It's nice to learn more about the land boot camp the Octatrio went to; Floyd's vignettes indicate that merpeople need passports and that they went to a zoo as part of the program.

A Tale as Old as Time.

Museums could be such snore fests sometimes. Sure, the place had an entire section dedicated to merpeople history, but it was nothing compared to what the Atlantica Memorial Museum boasted under the sea: the Mermaid Princess's silver comb, a replica of the Sea Witch's cauldron, bones of a sea dragon, a statue of the Sea King...

Here? All they had were some crummy paintings.

Floyd tilted his head back, taking in merman arriving in a dolphin-drawn chariot. He was an older man that sported bushy brows and a grand white beard that flowed in the water, his physique muscular and imposing. There was a regal presence about him, perhaps in how upright he stood, or in the glisten of the crown upon his head or the gauntlets cuffing his wrists. With his trident in hand, it was clear who he was.

The ruler of all the oceans. The waves obeyed his every whim, the sea and all its spoils bowing to his power. He, the Sea King.

Meh, what’s so great about him? So stiff and uptight. It’s be so much better workin’ for the Sea Witch.

Floyd's eyes flickered to the boy next to him, who seemed far more interested in the painting than he was. A steady grin crept onto his face, and he leaned in close.

Floyd pounced, hooking a long arm around Kalim's shoulder and yanking him over. The eel peered down at him, a single golden orb colliding with a pair of garnets. Leering, Floyd jerked his head at the depiction of the Sea King.

"Ne, ne, Otter-chan. What'cha think of this one?"

Any sane person might have been paralyzed with fear encountering Floyd in a dimly lit room, but not Kalim. No, Kalim was not sane at all.

The dorm leader greeted his peer with a smile so wide it could fill the horizon. "Floyd!! I'm so excited I get to see more of your history."

He blinked. "You actually like studying this kinda thing? Are you even any good at it?"

"Nope, not really!!" Kalim confessed (perhaps a little too easily). "I was looking at this painting and going, 'His beard's so impressive!' It reminds me of the one my dad has. I won't remember all the details later, but I'll always remember how cool the Sea King looks."

"It goes in one ear and out the other. Why bother then? Just dedicate your time and energy to stuff that actually interests ya."

"But it does interest me. It's fun learning about where your classmates come from! I heard humans and merpeople weren't always on good terms."

"Yeah. Back when the Sea King still ruled, there were tooons of rules forbidding merpeople from coming into contact with humans." Floyd held up a finger for each one he counted off. "No going to the surface world, no owning human stuff, no exploring shipwrecks... even no music at one point. You'd think Goldfishy wrote the lawbook."

Of course, even if those rules were in place, he would still totally disregard them. No one—not royalty, not his parents—could stop Floyd from venturing into the unknown.

"Whoa, the Sea King sounds like he was super strict and scary! I don't think I could live without music..." Kalim's face dropped. "He looks like such a nice person in the painting though."

Floyd rolled his eyes. "Cuz he lost his wife to a human ship. After that, he got all paranoid, thinking himans and merpeople are too different to coexist. He got especially protective over his daughters. The Sea King had seven of 'm and he breathed down all of their necks.”

"Ooooh!" Kalim didn't even bat an eye at the number (Floyd was sure it paled next to the number of siblings he had running around in his home.) "So the Sea King just wanted to protect his loved ones and make sure nothing sad like that ever happened again. He's a good guy after all!"

He now regarded Floyd with eager, sparkling eyes. "Wow, you know so much about this!! It's crazy thinking about how different things were in the past."

"Duh. It'd be boring if things stayed the same all the time." The eel smirked. He let go of Kalim and stepped back, giving a playful twirl, arms stretching out above him. "Ehehehe! Good thing the Mermaid Princess ended up opening doors for us to come onto land~"

Kalim beamed. "That's right!! She did! We wouldn’t be able to be friends without the Mermaid Princess’s help.”

The word gave Floyd pause, a rock tossed along his path as he brought his foot down upon it, snagging his step. Friend. He didn’t like spoken in that saccharine, trusting tone.

It was sticky and sweet, stuck in his teeth. Like cotton candy residue yet to be washed away by the waves, or sweat accumulated from summer heat. A gross feeling.

“You’re bein’ way too generous with your definitions again,” Floyd groaned, peeling away. “Cut it out, or I’ll get annoyed.”

Kalim (unwisely) laughed. Not at Floyd, but with him. “Oh, hey. When you think about it, we’re not really that different.”

“Mmm? What are you saying now, Otter-chan? Did all the sunbathing finally melt your brain?”

“In the Scalding Sands, waterways are really important. We use them for trade and travel. It’s the same for the Coral Sea. With all that water, it’s convenient for those sorts of things.” Kalim said matter-of-factly. “We’re using those same waterways now. We’re connected by water.”

“A good part of Twisted Wonderland is water,” Floyd pointed out. “You sayin’ everyone can be friends with everyone?”

Kalim nodded eagerly. “The Sea King was probably wrong. Humans and merpeople are actually very similar. I think the Mermaid Princess knew that too, and she wanted to help others recognize it.”

Floyd stared at Kalim, the moment long and hard. He wasn’t irritated anymore, only a little disappointed. Maybe mildly disgusted. “… Otter-chan, you’re so happy it hurts.”

“Thanks!”

“That wasn’t a compliment.” Floyd sighed. The energy and fight had been rapidly drained from in over the course of the short exchange, leaving him as wilted as a salted slug. “Aaaah, whatever. I’m tired of this already. I’m bailing.”

He turned on his heel and made for the exit and into the adjacent room. Already, Floyd could see a platinum frame of the Sorcerer of the Sand in the distance, bony fingers clasping a golden scarab.

“Wait up, I’m come with!” Kalim called after him. “I can teach you about my country’s history too!

That was how water was—always seeking to follow the flow. One body leading straight into another.

Floyd picked up his pace, arms pumping. (No running in the museum? Screw the rules.) Adrenaline deposited into his bloodstream, and he was hit with a rush.

Suddenly excited again, maybe a little interested in what a certain otter had to offer. A game, a chase, a thrill.

This is what he had come to the surface for.

Not rules or restrictions or a royal bossing him about. Not even friendship, as Kalim had suggested. Just fun, plain and simple.

It looked like he was going to get it.

Floyd grinned and shouted back, “Catch me if you can then!!”

And hurled right into the next room over.

Bless the Mermaid Princess.

[rachiebeee]

some Leo headcanons I have

Leo doesn't know what day his birthday is. He knows its in July, but he hasn't done anything on it since he was 8 and he used to act like it was/wasn't on certain days based on how well they went (he thinks its the 7th, but he hates the number 7 so he ignores it).

Leo has stolen and crashed a police car. He will do it again.

Leo's mother and Aunt Rosa both had dreams from Gaea that told them Leo was going to kill Esperanza, but Esperanza took it as an "he'll do it on accident bc he doesn't know how to control his powers" and Rosa took it as "It's a sign from God and this child was sent by the devil".

He's asexual biromantic, but in love with the idea of being in love.

He learns a form of script-based magic - the same thing that is etched on each stone used for the Hecate cabin. Jo is his teacher, but when he visits camp all of the Hecate cabin are happy to help him too. He views it as a code instead of magic, and only ever uses it in the things he builds because he forgets it can be useful on its own.

He's a Fall out Boy stan. Loves all types of rock too, but FOB was his gateway into it.

Every time he went to a new school if they had a music program he could join for free he would. Originally he'd just choose a new instrument every school, but on his third try he learnt drums and decided to stick with it.

HIs eyes look like yooperlite while it's glowing, but more like burning coals while he's using his powers.

On that note, Leo's body temperature can be way hotter than the normal person's. On a normal day where he's fine in everyway, he's hot but not hot enough for people to think he's feverish. When he's excited his temperature rapidly increases, as it does with stress. When he forgoes sleeping his body forgets to regulate his temperature, which leads to him either going very cold or very hot.

He can't really get fevers at all really. It's also very hard for a lot of illnesses to effect him because half the time he burns it up before he even knows its there. When he does get sick it's really bad though, because his immune system is actually pretty weak.

Related to that, he is the only known person who can currently be a theoretical host to a thermophile virus. Not that he would, but it is a thought that has crossed his mind.

He has a hobby of making little robots. He makes Piper a bronze eagle one as a present and he slowly starts to make them for his friends

Annabeth gets a cat because he thinks she has cat vibes and an owl would be basic. Percy gets an otter because Leo did not want to think about making a robot fish that works well out of water. Frank gets a chameleon as a joke, but he makes it so it can turn into a small dragon too. Hazel gets a snake, again for the vibes. Nico gets a lizard. Just like, a nondescript lizard. He makes Reyna a bronze dog to "complete the metal set", but it's based of a Molossus of Epirus instead of a hound. Jo and Emmie get matching gryphons, and Georgina's little robot is a llama. Leo makes himself a wolf in honour of Jason.

On the topic of making things, Leo also gets really into all forms of metalsmithing. Which includes making jewellery, which leads to him getting a lot of piercings. Piper does too, because they went to go get the piercings together. He loves giving people little friendship bracelets, and charms, and ornaments. He makes people themed cutlery sets.

His love language is gift giving, if it's not obvious.

He stays in contact with Apollo, but in order to not upset Zeus they frame it as 'music lessons'. As the inventor of the Valdezinator (and its best player), it's a pretty good excused. Leo does make new instruments occasionally when they feel like they're pushing the 'lesson' excuse.

They fr just gossip during them though, and then give each other a scuffed form of therapy. They go from talks about petty drama to unanswerable philosophical discussions to jokes that make no sense.

[qiribov]

I’m sorry people keep comparing your AU to other AUs without giving anything else to go on! Just saying your work seems like someone else’s but then not explaining why or how would just feel like they’re not appreciating your work for its own creativity. :(

Every AU, even ones that come from a common base idea, are unique because they come from different people! In this case, the only AU I know of currently that’s even remotely like yours is still different because they made their NRC boys magical creatures and their medium is drabble fanfiction. Your AU is art based!

And your artwork is SO CUTE????? The art style you have just gives me the vibes of a watercolor painting… if that makes any sense at all??? I know you’re using a paper and pencil but I see your drawings and they just feel watercolor to me.

And I love that so much. They’re so soft and flowy and squishy and I just wanna hug them! 💜

For your AU, may I ask for a written list of what animals the guys are? I’m pretty sure I can figure most of them out by the reference picture you provided and by popular fanon choices, but I’d still like to confirm if that’s okay?

Plus, I can be dumb sometimes. 😅 So, having an official list made by the creator would be helpful! 😊

You said in your post you were upset with people mentioning comparable AUs without even linking them, so the AU I was talking about up there that is writing based is the house pet au by @/twst-drabbles. I hope this ask didn’t stress you out! It’s definitely not my intention!

I literally melted while reading this so sweetly.

I'm a bad yapper, but I'll try.

Riddle Hedgehog. because of the thorns he is wearing a jacket not a regular shirt or t-shirt

Ace Fennec. Just fennec. I don't want to explain it.

Deuce Blue Wolfhound. i like to think he used to be pretty aggressive in this au before too.

Trey Panda. he's just big and soft. but doesn't really like to be stroked too much.

Cater the Red Panda. they are just cute red and love attention not sure what to add

I didn't change Savanaclaw and Octavinelle animals so I'll skip them.

All the Octavinelle members live in a big pool that has an indoor entrance. i think Crowley just gave them the pool because he was too lazy to do the aquarium.

Jamil Rattlesnake. i didn't want to think too much about a particular subspecies of snake ok .;) he sleeps in the terrarium most of the time

Kalim Sea otter. his favorite toy is plastic colored shells. in fact he can steal anything that looks like a shell.

Vil Peacock. In fact, I've been thinking for a very long time about what else Vil could be besides a peacock and I haven't come up with anything. actually I'm not complaining. Sometimes he dives off the perch on Grim because he acts like an ass.

Rook the poodle. He's so abnormally hyperactive and the worst part is he's quiet.

Epel grizzly.

Idia and Ortho still cause arguments in my head they are the only ones I haven't drawn. Idk Idia could be a greyhound????

Malleus the dragon. in my head he just likes gargoyles and ice cream and strides with the sound of SpongeBob.

Lilia the bat. He's so affectionate and likes to brush his fur.

Silver Ferret. I knew he had to be a ferret when I saw all those videos where they are VERY hard to wake up.

Sebek the crocodile. he's so noisy and likes to stomp his feet and tail.

THE ULTIMATE AGERE!VENTI HEADCANON POST!

yeah im not sane about him :3

"It's stopped raining already? A shame, I wanted to play some more."

CW: Diapers, nightmares,

─ 𖥔 ─

-Venti's first experience with age regression was rather odd, in that he didn't KNOW what age regression was- nor did he know how to partake in "acting like a child" until he was forced into his headspace during a rainy night at Angel's Share - it started to thunder, and Venti just...dropped like a penny. Luckily, Diluc was a saviour and brought him upstairs to calm him down.

-headspace is around 0-3 years old.

-Due to past injuries from around the Archon War, he needs to be padded 24/7, and will usually gravitate to pull-ups, and will use diapers when regressed!

-He's just an actual baby. He'll either crawl around, or whine and tug at his caregiver until he's scooped up.

-He's just a TOTAL mama's boy, especially for Adelinde! If Diluc's not around/busy, Venti will "help" around Adelinde.

-Adelinde knows that he's the Anemo Archon, as well as his identity being the first thing told to any new caregivers/babysitters, so nightmares and thunderstorms are usually pretty understood.

-Despite hating thunder, he LOVES the rain, and will practically beg his current caregiver to go and splash about. He understands if they say no, however.

-He just...needs to be held. He loves it when a caregiver will boop his nose, or feed him, or care for him if he falls ill- it makes him feel like an actual infant, and therefore more regressed.

-As mentioned before, nightmares are VERY common. He has a few stuffies to help, though! An otter, dubbed "wisp" which was gifted to him from the traveller (who, yes, knows about his headspace- and was the first person he told that wasn't Diluc) as well as a bird stuffie, named "Himmel" and a cat stuffie called "Katze".

-A sucker for apples- even more so when he's little. He'll request them to be cut into cute little shapes, and served with a small container of applesauce to dip into (which he always gets). Despite his love for apples, he despises applejuice, and despite his hate for cheese, loves warm milk.

-An easy way to help him regress is getting him all cozy into (insert cg) arms and just baby him. phrases like "augh, you're just too tiny tonight" and "who's this little baby?" will usually do the trick.

-Despite him literally being the god of Anemo, he'll give his CG his vision, despite it being a fake, as it helps him feel a bit tinier- as well as his bow, and lyre.

-Pacifiers over teethers. The idea of a teether sounds nice, but he didn't really like it, and pacifiers help him feel way more infant-like.

-Can solve puzzles for HOURS.

-Will usually draw pictures of him and his cg, and he's always happy to see them on the fridge.

-Main CG'S:

-Diluc

-Aether/Paimon

-Jean

-Barbara (Although she's more than a babysitter- and yes, she knows of his identity, and is sworn to secrecy)

-Lisa

-Dvalin (Either in his human form, or his dragon form- either works for Venti!)

-Andrus (very rarely).

-Nahida! (Again, very rarely, and mostly she's a CG in his dreams, especially if he's having a nightmare).

Main Nightmares:

-Old Mondstadt's Rebellion (and losing his dear friends in the process)

-Being hurt/stolen from Signora again.

-Old Mondstadt in general- it was from a very fresh point in his life, and was one of his first experiences with people, so he's mostly always dreaming about it.

-Traveller/any of his friends/cg's getting hurt.

[follower-sword]

An Apology Gone Wrong

TW: Sucidal thoughts. Child abandonment. Implied death. Depression.

He just wanted everything back to normal again. Thankfully that little messager dragon was still asleep in Star's pocket. He didn't even know if Ego got the letter or let alone wanted to come.

He sat in the meadow for a long while, messing with the flowers there...maybe he could bring some back to Star...he was interrupted by footsteps. He swiftly turns around and gets up, seeing Ego there in full armor.

"...I didn't expect-"

"For me to actually come? Yeah I figured."

They stood there for a while, pure silence. The wind blew softly as the birds chirped. Follower broke the silence.

"Look I-...I'm sorry...I just wante-"

"Dont make excuses. I don't forgive you."

The dove's feathers fluffed up in surprise. He was confused...usually Ego would take it as a joke...

"I-"

"That's it? I'm sorry? That's why you brought me out here? For a half ass apology?"

The otter crossed his arms. A huge frown formed on his face as his tail lashed around.

"I know Star is the reason your apologizing. You don't even mean it! Your doing this cause the only person who fucking cares about you told you too! You really like being told what to do huh?! Maybe thats why Star loves you! Because your a good boy right? You listen to anything he says!"

Follower looks down, he didn't know what to say due to his thoughts scattering.

"You know Sword, I tried making friends with you for so long! Only for me to get hate back! I tried so hard so maybe! Just maybe just could have a friend other than Egg! That I felt like I was worth something!"

"Heck! I wouldn't be surprised if you treated Star like shit when you first met him! You definitely did with me! I'm surprised Star even stayed with you this long! What is he going to do when he figures out the REAL reason you were abandoned by Venomshank?"

The dove froze...no no no..

"Yeah! I'm surprised people believed that little sob tale! Your not innocent Sword...you never were...Icedagger was your fault. No wonder your father left you for DEAD!"

Follower whipped out his sword and aimed it at Ego's neck.

"Don't you dare.."

"Hah..see? Everytime. Everytime someone disagrees or someone tries to reveal who you are you try to result to killing. What happeneds when Star finds out you killed me too? That's what you do best Sword, just like Icedagger."

"THAT WASN'T MY FAULT!"

"Where is the proof? Where is the proof bird? Cause all I see is a murderer."

Follower was panting like he just ran a mile, his heart pounded as his mind ran thousands of thoughts, scenarios and flashbacks. Windforce must have told him...there's no other way he could know...but...he couldn't, he never could bring himself to kill anyone who did nothing wrong...

The dove lowered his blade as he turned off his emotions, staring at the ground with no expression. Something he learned while with Illumina.

"That's what I thought. Enjoy your time with Star while you have it. He won't stay for long."

Ego turns away and starts walking back to Playground but he stops for a second.

"By the way, if I see you again...I'm not afraid to tell Star who you really are...I hope your happy to get a taste of your own medicine.."

With that the Captian left. As soon as Ego was gone it was like a switch flipped, causing all of the dove's emotions to flood in like a dam breaking and he collapsed. Sobbing in the flower covered meadow.....

Just let him dissappear....

[wolken-himmel]

This is a weird question but what animals do you think fit well with each character individually? Like, to me, Ace reminds me of a fox. Reddish colored hair and a trickster.

I think in my nrc petshop au, we had all Heartslabyul boys as hedgehogs lol. But now that you say it... Riddle could still be a hedgehog, Trey a bear (bc mother bear idk), Cater and Ace foxes, and Deuce a golden retriever?

The Octavinelle and Savanaclaw boys could be their respective animal counterparts. Kalim could be an otter and Jamil a snake. Vil as a peacock, Rook as a hawk, and Epel as a sparrow. Idia (we had him as an antisocial snake in the nrc petshop au) and Ortho as a small bird. And Lilia as a bat, Malleus as a lizard (in the nrc petshop au he was a komodo dragon), Silver as a bear or a sloth both fit, and Sebek as a crocodile

I still want to write Ignihyde and Scarabia turning into animals to finally finish the Zookeeper series sooo—

[baby--b4t]

HEY POOKIE ITS FISHIE ANON ONCE AGAIN >^< anygays I have yet another minific idea that I came up with a few mins ago while sitting on my bedroom floor eating candy and bawling my eyes out

little!reader who’s a distant relative to the hydro dragon x cg!freminet who gets to see them while diving (think those videos on tiktok of seals getting excited and hyper when they see their favorite diver)

-🐠

OMG THIS IS THE CUTEST IDEA EVERRR!! i just imagined a little guy with a sea tail excitedly swimming circles around an emotional fremi :(( /pos. im absolutely going to feed into this.

(fic below cut once again <3)

Everything had gone so wrong. Freminet reported back to Father, telling of an unsuccessful intervention he had been placed in charge of. It came as no surprise to him when he was reprimanded for it and told he would need to train harder. Of course he did, he was too soft and weak. He wouldnt ever be able to live up to the expectations of others around him. Despite his age and knowledge, he was no stronger than a baby…

Oh gods, Freminet was tearing up. He held it back as he was scolded, but the moment he was alone it hit. Tears pooled in his eyes as if they were trying to mock the dry desserts. He couldnt stop them and that just fueled the storm inside of him. He was quick to find his helmet, darting outside and towards the sea as quick as possible. He didnt want to be percieved like this whatsoever.

Freminet dove as deep as he would, tears still fogging his vision. Thats when a familiar tail grazed across his arm. He was startled at first, but it made his sobs come out harder. The dragonic creature looked at Freminet in confusion. They didnt understand what was wrong with the diver they cherished so dearly. They swam closer to the poor boy and hugged one of his arms. This was something the creature did often as a way of sticking with Fremi so the two could swim together.

Freminet wasted no time clinging himself to the creature, still sobbing. He just wanted comfort. He was too small to be feeling the awful things he did. The dragon understood and just held Fremi as they drifted around in the cold waters. Their head gently nuzzled against Freminets helmet in an attempt to get the boy to look up.

Freminet wouldnt budge. His face was buried into the creatures chest and he had no intentions of changing that. The dragon sighed, trying to think of some other way to calm down their friend. Finally, Freminet felt the two of them moving somewhat. The motion of the water passing around him made him look up for a moment. The dragon was swimming on their back, Fremi on their chest craddled like an otter. Their tail flicked back and forth in an attempt to get the two of them moving through the abyss of the sea. The dragon though the movement may be a bit soothing to Freminet as he was calming down.

Fremi looked at the creature who smiled as they saw the face of the helmet. Their head nuzzled into the boys once again, as if to tell him that he was safe. He was protected as long as he was in their arms. That seemed to calm him down slightly. Freminet rested his head back on the dragons chest as they slowly drifted through the waters, finding himself breathing more evenly and softly. His eyes felt quite tired now as well. The once cold waters that made Fremi shiver were now feeling more like a comforting blanket as his mind relaxed.

It took only a few minutes before Freminet had fallen asleep right on the dragons chest. The dragon swam closer to the surface, gently setting Freminet in a safe place. It wasnt often the creature liked to surface, but they did for Fremi.

The dragon watched from afar until he saw Lyney running over to Freminet. He seemed so worried when he saw his little brother, but relieved that he was alright. Fremi woke up slightly confused but was more worried about how frantic Lyney seemed. Apparently him and Lynette had been looking for Freminet ever since he was scolded by Father.

The dragon, now seeing Freminet with someone safe, plunged back into the waters and swam back towards their den.

I am here to talk about my OCs!

Because @elianaroselight and I have talked about them so much we developed 4 RPs about them (that have been going for over a year now) and got a whole system going

Buckle up, it's long

First, there's Ju Ling's family, who now has 3 mates and 7 children (without counting the ones she lost). Her mates are Ju Jing the oni, Ri Shi and the white tiger of the west, Baihu. Her siblings are Hua and Ping, who have, respectively, the vermilion bird of the south, Zhuque, and the azure dragon of the east, Qinglong, as their mates.

Then there's Yue Shi and his mate Fengbao. Feng became friends with their doctor Jiahao, who had two twin kits that became friends (and enemies if you ask Shu) with Feng's kits. Jiahao's husband is Pingyi, who teaches sign language, and is friends with Ju Jing because he and his sister (name missing) were all at the same orphanage. Pingyi is also Cixin's teacher, Zan's adopted son. He's not mute or def but has trouble speaking and often communicates by repeating sounds or words (in the voice of the person that spoke them). Cixin and Tai Shi (one of Ju Ling's cubs) have pet ducks together.

The biological mothers of Tai Shi and the rest of the tiger cubs are Lan (who has Tai Shi, 2 tiger cubs that she lost, and Ju, a lynx cub she adopted) and An (who has Jingyi, Ling Min, Heng and Yawen) Tai Shi's dad is Qiong Qi, no one likes him. Baihu is the father of the other cubs. Depending on the AU, An and Lan are platonic mates with Ju Ling and the others and live in a huge ass house.

But anyway, Baihu is a big sweetheart who does his best to be a good baba. He loves seafood and spicy food and Ju Jing and Ri Shi very much feed into that. Lan grew a passion for gardening and plants and it was a great bonding moment for her and Ju Ling.

But anyway, all of An's cubs are adorable Jingyi likes plants and helps her moma with her garden. She even found a salamander once and wanted to keep it as a pet. Heng loves the sky and the sea, which works well with his uncle Ping, who works at an aquarium, and his yeye who used to be an astrologist. Yawen likes the sky, but specifically the clouds. He loves Wukong's nimbus and asks him to conjure it any time he comes over. And Ling Min is a little fighter that loves dragons and adores her gugu Mei.

Then there is Bai He's family. Obviously, her parents are the general Ba and Beng. Her wife is Zhi Hao, a gibbon demon the size of a wardrobe which works as a blacksmith. So you know, guaranteed thirst trap. Their children are Hua Mei, the oldest girl, Hao the only boy, and their twins Guiyin and Li Lei who is named after the empress of the kingdom of women, who Bai He is friend with.

There's also Kai Hu's group of friends! They call themselves the lost ones because Kai's cousin calls him Peter Pan. They are Chao a cat fish demon (not a catfish. a cat and fish demon), Juan a one-eyed cat demon, Fen a bunny demon, Bo the only human and Huangshu, a gibbon demon that was adopted into Kai's family and became his cousin.

And then there's Shu's group (she is one of Yue Shi and Fengbao's triplets kits), aka Lupin gang wannabe. Shu is of course Lupin, then we have Leale, a dog demon who is 100% based on Jigen, I'm not even going to hide that, and just discovered that he has 2 siblings, and Rampion, who was made as a joke with Skelle but he fits in this group of misfits. And I can't forget the Fujiko of the group, Junjie, who is also one of Jiahao's kits. The other one of Jiahao's kits is Xinyi who married Bao, Shu's second brother.

Last group that I can remember is Ling Min's family. Her mate is Hebo, a leopard gecko demon, and their adopted kids: Xu Qiu a dear and lion demon, Bian a they/them human, Hongbo an otter demon and Wuyue a baby lizard demon that Xu Qiu found in the snow

[gods-no-longer-tread-here]

Tiger & Bunny daemon au because I read The Golden Compass as a baby and it altered my DNA:

Kotetsu: you might think a tiger, or perhaps a canid. incorrect. Kotetsu's daemon is a mustelid like a stoat or otter. trust me on this I have been thinking about him for 12 years

Barnaby: rabbit? fox? something elegant? no, that boy is too feral. his daemon is a badger.

Nathan: peacock. self-explanatory. beautiful, dangerous, and kind of silly.

Karina: a very fluffy cat who looks like a supermodel and has the sweetest, politest meows.

Ivan: crow or moth, because those lil dudes can imitate anything and can be very sneaky.

Pao Lin: probably still young enough that her daemon hasn't settled, but prefers flying

Keith: 100% some kind of herding dog with how much he wants to do a Good Job.

Antonio: literally just a fuckin buffalo.

Subaru: wolf, because he's very intense and also a doofus

Thomas: turtle, and she has a lil skateboard for zoomin'

Ryan: uhhhhh idk, a caiman? more intelligent than you'd think but also still an asshole

Lara: too Babby, but prefers soft, warm forms like cats, bunnies, hamsters, and small dogs

Agnes: snake. no one knows what kind. he likes to loop around her neck and hiss in her ear about how she's too hard on the heroes.

Saito: absolutely has something incredibly dangerous like a venomous spider or perhaps a komodo dragon, and it makes a lot of people very, very nervous.

Soooo many questions about the new kids I’m gonna ask them all (feel free to ignore me if they’re annoying)

“Share one brain cell” refers to which group- the not-exactly-babies trio or the teenage duo? I ask bc both sketches are close to the words

I loooove the otters watching Pri! Also, is Pri colorblind? Or does Neuvillette not have the right genes to pass that on since some forms of color blindness are recessive and idk if Wriothley’s form is

I love the “put a knife on a parasol and she can have both” YES and then carrying through by using both guns AND social expectations as weapons YES good for a doted-to-submission adopted child

Siegewienne with Pri? Somehow I wonder if she’s the one that gave Pri the handcuffs

It took me a minute to realize what “it’s the shirt” was referring to- Zari’s still insecure about getting the least bumpy gene combinations from her parents I see…

Who is that making cake with Pri? Navia? Sorry I can’t tell…

Diluc, don’t be racist against dragons. And if he’s talking about the friends being kids of famous/powerful figures, he’s got no room to talk as Mr Uncrowned King of Mondstadt (and Darknight Hero)

Not Furina stealing her Iudex’s baby. She trying to show up Morax at the archon get together or something?

All in all I love these kids!

HI HI THANK YOU FOR THE ASK

here is them, the 1 brain cell trio yes

i havent played wrios sq yet (not even nv's lol) so idk if that's canon that he has it?? but girls tend to inherit colorblindness less than boys

FUN FACT, old timey women in fact, actually used parasols as weapons for self defense lmao SO YEAH WHY CHOOSE WHEN YOU CAN HAVE BOTH

you're still young honey dont worry about it

it's navia!! they make sweets together often!! the joke is that clorivia and wriolette basically co parents both of them theyre so close//SHOT

no but like, can u imagine being diluc tho? ur kid keeps attracting DRAGONS for friends. not just dragons, those dragons are kids of a harbinger and a duke. if anything happens to those kids who knows what'll happen.

auntie furina wants to show off her beloved niece that's all it is. she loves her. absolutely smitten. she can and will show her off whenever possible

HUE HUE THANKS AGAIN

Names Meaning Tag

Thanks a lot to lovely @shellyscribbles <33

Rules: List the meanings of your OCs’ names.

I haven't created an intro post for everyone but for the sake of doing this tag properly (and also, I really enjoy researching the suitable names for my original characters and then talking for eons about them, hehe).

BTW, I will not include characters such as Wukong or Loki since 1) I haven't created them, they're based on/inspired by/alternative versions of already existing deities and folklore legends and 2) meaning of their names has already been explained or is still being speculated on (and you can research this in the libraries or on the Internet).

I'm including (open) tags right here in case somebody wants to avoid some spoilers which will be featured at the end of the post. So, here are my lovelies <33 (+ anyone who wants to join in - as I said, the tags are open^^): @toribookworm22 @dogmomwrites @faelanvance @frogqueenofmirkwood @aalinaaaaaa @aohendo @verba-writing @vanessaroades-author @emberlyric @toribookworm22 @arijensineink

I also include the animal companions and minor/side characters who play quite an important roles in short stories. Here we go:

Ulfrika - from the Old Norse 'úflr' = 'a wolf'

Márgerdra - from the Old Norse 'marr' ( 1) 'a sea', 'a ocean', 'a lake', 2) 'a horse') and 'garðr' ('enclosure', 'protection'), it was also a name of a giantess/sorceress in the saga of Hjálmþér and Olvir

Kogar - no meaning, a made up word, I went with a sound that seemed the most cool to me

Udra - from Lithuanian 'ūdra' = 'an otter'

Lešij - a name of a Slavic forest demon/entity, = 'a leshy'

Meluzína - from the Slovak 'meluzína' = 'a howling/wailing wind'

Krabat - a name of a Sorbian folk hero, there's also a novel version of Krabat where a boy of the same name becomes a disciple of a warlock and is capable of transforming into a raven

Tiru - a made up name, no meaning, though a name of a real doggo inspired it

The Merchant - well, that's it, he's literally a merchant. Or is he?

Faust - a name of an alchemist Johann Georg Faust who's (in)famous for making a deal with the Devil thus selling his soul

Ivan - a name common in Slavic languages (I've heard some people translate it as 'John' but it's not the same name, though the ethymology is quite similar => comes from the greek Ioannes)

Zmej Milošovič - zmej/zmij (English version 'zmei') is a type of a Slavic dragon/snake (or a hybrid of those two, depends on the story), Milošovič can be used either as a surname (not at all that common), but it can also be translated as 'a son of Miloš (Milosh)'

Barbora - a Slovak, Czech and Lithuanian version of Barbara, named after a witch who was said to ride a hellish dog (literal Satan) at midnight

Kmotra - from a Slovak 'kmotra' = 'godmother', a nickname for Death Ulfrika gave her when she was a child

Krcho - from a Czech word 'krchov' = 'churchyard, graveyard'

!!!SPOILER PART!!!

Ruta - Ulfrika's second/real name given to her by Kogar when he took her under his protection, from a Slovak, Czech, Lithuanian (also other languages) word for 'rue'
