#i've just realized their ship name could be Shin

[highlifeboat]

*kicks down the door* I HEAR YOU GOT LIN/SHAUNDI! Go on :)

So, obviously they're gonna meet during the events of Saints Row 2, after Boss reunites with Lin and Johnny and Johnny sends you to find new recruits and everything.

And at first they don't really get along. Like Shaundi thinks Lin is a hardass, and Lin thinks Shaundi is kinda flaky and a "dumb kid" (Even though she isn't much older than her). It's not really enemies to lovers, but like... Dislike each other to lovers pff.

Now I think Boss gets them both working on the Sons of Samedi, partially because they don't fully trust the burn out stoner, and they know Lin will keep things on track, which is how those two start to bond. Over the course of the Samedi missions, they slowly start getting along and even being friends. Shaundi learns Lin can be pretty chill, Lin learns Shaundi can handle her own, shit's beautiful, Boss teases them over it (as a good friend/gang leader does)

So when Shaundi gets kidnapped by Veteran Child, Lin is fucking PISSED. And very worried. Because even though VC is a loser, he's also kind of a creep, and given how when Lin got kidnapped she was shot, almost drowned, and (going off of how Sharp talked) assaulted, she doesn't want Shaundi going through all that shit. (Perhaps a little guilty she wasn't around to stop it from happening, even) Like yeah, they're gang members, shit goes down, and VC isn't a huge threat really, but still. Main point is she's really Not Happy.

When Boss goes to save Shaundi, Lin insists on coming, despite them trying to be like "No, I got this", she isn't gonna just sit around and wait. Like she knows Boss could probably handle it, but that bitch boy just kidnapped her partner.

Obviously it turns out fine, Shaundi is (mostly) fine, though that doesn't stop Lin from fussing over it for a while. You know. Just to be sure. I think this is the point where, at least Shaundi starts feeling a little like... more than friends. Seeing Lin kick ass to save her, and murder her ex, and make sure she's alright, just gives her butterflies.

That's kind of all I've thought up right now. But I do think they'd be very cute.

365: April 25

Shin and Savant's friendship is so excellent I'm so glad they're friends even if Shin would rather eat glass than admit it aloud where Savant could hear

---

Shin had his eyes closed while he sat in his cockpit. He wasn't sleeping he just had nothing better to do between Gambit games sometimes. His Ghost was playing some music in the back of the ship, entertaining itself more than anything. He was going over the last game in his mind, bickering with that stupid ass EXO Savant, and Wolf yelling at them both to shut up and shoot the Invader. The music got louder and he opened one eye to see his Ghost float over. "What?" he asked.

His Ghost said nothing, just popped open. "Shin!" Savant's cheerful voice came out of his Ghost.

"I have told you not to call me," Shin said aggravated.

He was completely ignored. "Did you know you have a fanclub?"

Shin rolled his eyes. As if this was a topic of conversation. Also yes he was very aware of both his creepy Crucible fanclub full of Guardians and his creepy in a different way fanclub of Lightless. "If you're just now realizing I have-

"No no! I mean like... Skinner has a fanclub."

Shin blinked at his Ghost who looked at him with the same expression he was giving his Ghost: what the fuck? Skinner wasn't even a real person. A lazy alias to play Gambit to keep an eye on Drifter. Shin was also one of the only paper Dredgens who's name was also their Dredgen title. How the fuck did his fake bullshit keep attracting fans? He wasn't even nice! He still didn't know how he'd accumulated followers as Dredgen Vale sometimes. Shin was not a super charismatic person and Vale was just him pretending to be like Jaren to the point of parody. Skinner was even less likable. On purpose!

"What?" he asked, incredulous, almost insulted that somehow Skinner had a fanclub. That somehow Shin had accumulated a fanclub for another alias.

"Yeah!"

"And you're telling me this why? Also why the fuck do you know this?"

"Dredgen Hunter has a fan club too," Savant prattled on. "Which I thought was really cool so I engage with them. Lightless are kinda crazy but they're all pretty excited I interact with them. Also since I've been playing with you and Wolf there's been some overlap with Wolf's crazy ass fanclub." Yeah, Shin had seen that only on the periphery of his engagements on Crucible apps or some newsletters he was subscribed to. But every time they brushed up against his sphere of giving a shit he was a little terrified of how absolutely wild the Young Wolf's main fanclub was. "They ask me about her all the time and I just play dumb about a lot. Not hard. But most of it really isn't any of my business," Savant was still talking. "There's only been some overlap recently and when I saw what was happening I laughed so hard I nearly reset myself."

"Considering how stupid you are that doesn't shock me," Shin growled.

Savant never took Shin's heat to heart. Which annoyed him honestly. Shin had absolutely made lesser men shrivel up with a well placed biting word. It just pinged off Savant. "And I had to share," and suddenly Shin's pockit started vibrating like crazy. He fished it out of the pouch he kept it in and opened it up. He'd just gotten eight private messages from a fireteam member.

"What the fuck did you send me?"

"Just look!"

Grumbling Shin opened the link in the first message. He was aware of Lightless writing fictional prose about their favorite Guardians. Hell almost every biography published about him was fictional. But there was stuff on the net too, unpublished. And he did his best not to interact with it. He'd been friends? Acquaintances? Crucible partners? With someone who got invested in their own fanclub's bullshit. It'd been so fucking weird and completely ruined their relationship. Also like three quarters of it was fans writing weird relationship stuff that just... baffled him.

This message was to a site he'd never been to but recognized it for what it was. A hub for collecting fan written stories about their favorite Guardians, specifically Gambit players by all the green and snake icons. Shin was regretting even looking as he scanned the meta tags about the story in question.

"I'm going to fucking. Kill you," Shin snapped at Savant through his Ghost. On the other end Savant howled with laughter. "Don't show me this fucking garbage!" Savant just kept laughing. This particular story was about a sexual (or romantic, he didn't read that far) relationship between Dredgen Hunter and Dredgen Skinner.

"Isn't it fucking amazing?" Savant asked around his laughter.

"No!"

"It's so stupid I had to share! And there's more," Savant giggled foolishly, his voice box hiccuping in a way that would be endearing if Shin wasn't fucking furious.

"Don't fucking tell me that," Shin growled. "You fucking piss me off."

"Not according to your fangirls," Savant teased him.

"Are you on your ship or the Derelict?"

"Derelict," Savant said smugly. Shin growled wordlessly. Savant knew Shin wouldn't transmat directly onto the Derelict to beat his ass like he would if he was on ship.

"You are letting me invade the rest of the day for assaulting my eyes with this bullshit," Shin growled.

"Okay okay okay," Savant said snickering. His pockit vibrated a few times. "Those aren't about us," he told Shin.

"I don't want any of these!" Shin all but shouted.

"They're about Skinner and Wolf," Savant said coyly.

"Who they're about doesn't matter. Fuck you. Ghost, end the call," he snapped, done with this bullshit. His Ghost closed to the sound of Savant's giggling.

"Huh," his Ghost said.

"Fucking hate that guy," Shin growled and slouched in his chair, arms folded.

"Want me to disconnect from the fireteam?"

"No," he still wanted to play with Wolf and if he did he'd have to suffer playing with Savant too.

"He is very annoying," his Ghost agreed with him. Just about the only thing he and his Ghost did agree on. He floated away and once more started playing music to entertain himself in the ship cabin.

Shin sat there for a few minutes before pulling his pockit out again and going to Savant's messages. He ignored the original messages but... fuck who was he kidding? He was super interested in seeing what the Wolf Skinner ones were like. He might have been in denial but he wasn't a fucking fool either. Making sure his Ghost wasn't paying attention to him he opened one of the DredgenWolf/DredgenSkinner links. It was pretty self indulgent but fuck it he could be a bit self indulgent now and then. Right?

[plusultrachaos]

So uh I've had a fine ish day until about 15 ish mins ago when my brain wanted 2 hit me with the "oh just go die no1 will care" n stuff thoughts so um yea got any shinkami, bakukami, or bakushinkami headcannons? Or any other ship fluffy/funny headcannons? I'm a complete multishipper at heart, and as u may can tell denki is my favorite of all time🤚⚡(its fine of not tho♡)

~ Nezuko ~

hey, hey, i can promise you that your brain is doing a thing where it will just produce random fallacies. people will care. i do in fact have some shinkami headcanons (i am not a multishipper bc thats just how it ended up, but i will provide for what i can ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

okay so here we go: (this is more of a hc list for an au)

kami and jirou are bisexual besties (they dated for probably a month before realizing they were better as friends)

when kami ends up pining (very hard) for shinsou, he has to tell jirou immediately

the night after the joint training is filled with kami rambling on about just how powerful of a hero shinsou would be

as class 1A starts to see more and more of shinsou, they also begin to see a rise in the kaminari caused electrical outages.

shinsou eventually gets brought into 1A and several members of the class volunteer their free day to help him

including kaminari

he tries to flirt with shinsou the entire time and shinsou is hardly helpful.

as the class finsihes helping shinsou, shinsou turns to kami

"how flustered do i have to make you before you go dumb and unresponsive" with a wink

kami atares before turning bright red and accidentally causing another outage for a few seconds before the laughter eventually snaps him into fixing it

"i mean there is a better way to shutting me up."

kami winks back at shin and puckers his lips.

jirou eventually ends up pulling kami away when shin starts looking a little overwhelmed by the flirting that was just cranked to the max

some pro hero era shinkami hcs:

they get a place together about a year after graduating from highschool.

when kaminari gets back from a patrol, dead on his feet and exhausted, and its one of the rare days that shinsou doesnt immediately have to leave for an underground patrol, they cuddle and shinsou guves him gentle massages.

due to his quirk, kaminari has lichtenburg figures running down the backs of his arms and hands

when they have these after patrol cuddles, shinsou massages the marks gently

they have a cat

his name is espurr like the pokemon

and kaminari would die for this cat.

the cat hates aizawa but loves eri and mic

despite the bets their friends make, kaminari is actually the one to propose to shinsou

its very clumsy but also very smooth.

so like smooth in a clumsy way

its an accident mostly. a slip of the tongue

shinsou says no the first time and then asks kami a few months. kami starts to cry while across the restaurant, bakugou calls him a wimp right before kirishima punches him and points at his wedding ring.

they end up resuing another cat when shinsou saves the cat from a crashung building late at night

kaminari just wakes up with a new cat on his chest in the morning and just shrugs like whatelse could happen

i hope that these jcs ended up helping even if it was justa. small smile at something goofy or sickly sweet. again please know that your brain is lying anf that people woulf care.

AtsuLucy & AtsuKyou

Disclaimer:

I do not hate any of the characters, except Fukuchi Ochi, and I respect every ship BSD has. If I could marry every single one of 'em, I would. This is a post of my opinions about AtsuLucy and AtsuKyou. Also, there are manga spoilers here so I hope you wouldn't mind. I hope I won't get canceled here like how I got in Facebook because I ship AtsuLucy and not AtsuKyou/Shin Soukoku. As I've said earlier, I respect all the goddamn ships and I just want somebody to here my opinions or I just want to simply say it here. If I've said a wrong thing, please notify me. Thank you and take your time reading it!

I am a big AtsuLucy shipper. To be honest, I like how they look out for each other. Here are some of my insights and why do I ship them:

They experienced the same type of abuse (not that I wanted to be abused lol) so there might be times that only the two of them can know what's this and that (okay, is head canons alrighty? I hope so);

Atsushi is a good guy. In fact, he is a cute adorable fluffy little angel but we all know that he doesn't like his enemies like the Port Mafia and The Guild. But when they defeated Lucy's Anne of Abyssal Red, he felt sorry and said that he understands what she feels;

The way Atsushi sympathizes with her despite knowing just a part of her past, I love it. I need more of it. It makes my heart flutter;

Also, the way he approached Lucy after losing to him, is so cute, awkward and soft all in one. Imagine your enemy asking if they can do anything for you, damn Lucy is one lucky girl;

Manga Spoiler, when the ADA was accused of being the nation's terrorist, Lucy made a rallied outside the government just to say that "Atsushi is not evil" and "The Detective Agency is innocent", oh how I wished she worked in the ADA even as a part time (it was Ango who spilled that Lucy did it and maybe the latter didn't expect that);

Atsushi was certain that he saw Lucy after the Three Way War and said that he hopes Lucy isn't teaming up with the criminal organizations (Port Mafia's one of the organizations I guess) to take revenge on them. And please, notice how Atsushi was straight looking at the paper he was holding and then BAM! he saw Lucy, I mean if it's the tiger's ability then otay, I'm not gonna be delulu anymore *sniffs*;

Lucy gave Atsushi the parachute she was saving for her own escape. She let him escape Moby Dick through her ability and Atsushi was worried about her safety for she's gonna be trapped there. He even promised to save her there and he was going to went he infiltrated Moby Dick but sadly, Shin Soukoku suddenly sailed so even I have forgotten that Atsushi promised that he was going to save Lucy. It was funny for me when they got a chance to have a little casual talk when they've retrieved Kyouka's parents' documents;

Manga Spoiler, lastly, Lucy was a great asset when AtsuKyou are heading next to the Sky Casino, where Sigma is. After some events happened in the Sky Casino, Sigma fell on the sky and Atsushi jumps out of the Sky Casino and catches him but he eventually let go of Atsushi. Nathaniel's ability hits Atsushi's tail, which is his support, and he was knocked out. Then my girl Lucy saw it and jumps off the Sky Casino too (like it wouldn't cost her life), she reached out for Atsushi's hand and then voila! Welcome to Anne's room;

Another one is Lucy calls Atsushi by the name "Toraneko" which means tabby cat like how Akutagaw calls Atsushi "jinko." And then I just realized that Kyouka never called Atsushi's name or maybe it's just me?

Anyways, I am itching for Bungou Stray Dogs Season 4 ackk!!

Yes. I did shipped AtsuKyou at the beginning of the series. Okay, lemme just share some of my insights about this ship:

I shipped them when I literally thought she was 16 but it turned out that she's 14. It's the first red flag for me. I know that Atsushi is a baby but Kyouka is literally a minor.

At first I thought it's was fine 'cause they only have 4 years of gap;

But had anyone never thought that Kyouka's behavior towards Atsushi is like Akutagawa's behavior towards Dazai;

Remember that one scene in season 2 where Atsushi was finally caught by The Guild and Kyouka just stood there crying and just said, "Why? Why did you show me the light? Why did you give me hope? Goodbye. Please don't give me anymore light."

Okay, I admit. That was very pathetic. But as I think about it, she had trauma and was literally abused for three years or so, so I really can't blame her. Kyouka was told that she is more suited in the dark and all she knew that time is that she killed her parents with her ability. What a sad life, bub;

When I've read the manga, I've read it after season 2 'cause I was growing impatient for season 3, there were so many changes to the anime like the second picture of AtsuKyou up there. Atsushi was supposed to land on Kyouka's shoulders and not in her lap;

The scene where Atsushi asked Kyouka how's the bathwater was so cute. They looked like a couple to me and it just reminded me that I'm gonna be single forever;

And when Kyouka passed the entrance exam, I was so happy (of course who wouldn't). I dunno why but I saw a platonic relationship in my laptop's screen. (Their "Welcome home", "I'm home" of them looks like they're a married couple tho). But when Kunikida scolded the both of them, I saw siblings. ISTG THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY EYES!

To be straight to the point, I think she's either unhealthy attached to Atsushi because he showed her light or she's just overprotective of him (seriously, a 14 y.o girl protecting a 18 y.o baby? otay).

Kyouka is one the characters with a great character development. Some say her character is boring and I can't blame y'all 'cause she have a lil bit of Sasuke's aura, like that one quiet kid sitting beside the window with the face saying that her clan was murded (Kurapika is now drowning in an indescribable emptiness) but Kyouka has a visible soft side so she cute, otay? Tho I wonder where did she learn to drove that car on Dead Apple at the age of 14 'cause my 14 y.o ass can't even step on the gas and brake without shaking in fear. Long story short, despite everything happening on BSD, I'm still a AtsuLucy shipper. I'm still rooting for Shin Soukoku, but AtsuLucy is my heaven.

You’re my kryptonite.

Based off the song One Thing by One Direction.

Sorry I had to 😂😉

Summary

Bitch you should already know.

I've tried playing it cool

But when I'm looking at you

I can't ever be brave

'Cause you make my heart race

The day came for (y/n) to move across the world, she had gotten all of the different sized boxes into her new home. The big furniture pieces sat where they were to be housed till she had finally unpacked everything. Not wanting to waste any day light, (y/n) ripped open boxes. Careful of the ones labeled ‘fragile’, she made sure to place the nice china in the cabinet and the glass cups next to them.

(Y/n) had moved to Seoul with the thought of finishing her degree at SNU, a few international friends she had made at a short class in New York years before, also helped persuade her to leave NYU. She packed up her small one bedroom apartment and shipped herself and her belongings to the foreign country.

A knock on her already open apartment door, didn’t seem to ring in her ears. Still stuck in the land of heavy lifting and cleaning, while dancing in her working out leggings and sports bra. Yugyeom took it upon himself to walk in, seeing as he wasn’t a stranger, actually the total opposite. He quietly paced through the front hallway and to the open space his old friend called a kitch-room (kitchen-living room). There his first love stood-well shimmied. Sweating profusely, beads of liquid trailing down and getting lost in the contraption that held her chest secure.

It was moments like these that he felt awkward, knowing she saw him as only a best friend, but her to him so much more. Clearing his throat he gave a loud shout. “Hey loser!” Was finally heard over her jam sesh of ‘Alejandro’.

“Gyeomie!” She cheered, a grin spreading from one ear to the other, her perfect whites shinning brightly.

She had become a woman since he’d last seen her. Long and unkept brunette waves were tucked behind her ears, her eyes had become brighter and slightly more mature, the perfect porportions of her body didn’t change as he assumed she kept dancing and gymnastics up. The now woman had cause his heart to race ten times faster than before.

Shot me out of the sky

You're my kryptonite

You keep making me weak

Yeah, frozen and can't breathe

The two sat together, stuffing their faces with rice and ramen as they sat at (y/n) bar. The tv played ‘Friends’ behind them, Yugyeoms long legs had hit the floor while her knees were in her chest. All cuddled into herself as she sat on the tall stool. She watched the show contently as she slurped on the noodles, giggling here and there.

Without realizing Yugyeoms stare had become noticeable. (Y/n) turning her tall chair slowly to eye him down. “What, is something wrong?” She questioned, noodles slowly falling from her lips.

His face snapped, a small blush creeping onto his cheeks. “U-uh no. Thought I saw something.” He belted quickly and quietly.

So get out of my head

And fall into my arms instead

I don't, I don't, don't know what it is

But I need that one thing

And you've got that one thing

“Yugyeom, I love you. Okay? I have for years now, but I’ve been to afraid to tell you..” (y/n) confessed. She wrapped her arms around his waist tightly, burying her cheeks into his lower chest.

“Yugyeom?” Bambams voice rang in his ears loudly, only slightly waking the gently giant up.

“Ah, what Bam?” His palm made its way straight to his eye, rubbing profusely.

“You kept mumbling (y/n)’s name.”

‘Yeah because I thought she really loved me.’ He thought to himself.

Now I'm climbing the walls

But you don't notice at all

That I'm going out of my mind

All day and all night

“Gyeomie, doooonnn’ttt!” (Y/n) whined, he had been taking pictures all day and she had just wanted to spend some quality time with him. “Put it away and talk to me.” She pouted.

“I am talking to you, just a few more. You look beautiful today and I want you to know that.”

“Gyeom, I’m flattered but I’d rather spend time with you than your face in your phone.” She dejected, another hit at the friend zone. (Y/n) 10, yugyeom 0.

She held the book over her face, just letting her eyes peak over the paper. “Just this last one.” And before she could argue he snapped the last one for the day.

Something's gotta give now

'Cause I'm dying just to know your name

And I need you here with me now

'Cause you've got that one thing

“Yugyeom!” Pause. “Yugyeom?” Another silent pause. He was present two seconds ago, before she had left to use the restroom for two seconds. He had completely disappeared. She looked behind the kitchen island, the other side of the couch, under her dining room table. But lastly she made her way to her room, the walk in closet door was now slightly opened. Probably because he couldn’t stand the dark. Swinging the white door open, a loud “boo!” Left her tongue.

To no avail, there was no Yugyeom. Shutting the door, she turned on her heels, a tall and soft figure now standing before her. “Boo.” He whispered, Yugyeom in all his glory, his tall frame almost engulfed hers. “Hi, beautiful.” He smiled, feeling an odd amount of confidence to finally confess his feelings.

But he didn’t need to, the contrast from the yellow lightbulb and dark start sky that light up her room; gave them the perfect setting. “Hi, Yugyeom..” she trailed, her eyes scanning his plump lips as well as his now half closed eyes.

“Kiss me.”

[wisp-is-trying-to-cope]

Arabella thought that she would despise the capital, with all of it's smog and people who never cared about your name or the gossip of the day.

However after a month of living in the magic capital, she came to realize that the smog wasn't actually bad, because of magic purifiers and the people could be ignored.

Well, she should have known it wouldn't have been that bad.

Magic was a beautiful thing after all.

Arabella Auclair was a force to be reckoned with, coming in at a height of 4'10 with the power of being small, mischievous, and annoying.

It wasn't actually a power, more like her entire being.

Ara had always been small, coming into the world at a meager three pounds. The midwife had told her mother that she wouldn't make it.

Arabella felt good when she kicked the midwife's son in the shins seven years later.

Her mother always asked her how such a little person got into so much trouble.

Her mother and her were constantly the talk of the town, being in a small farming community of 200 where marriage was sacred and cows were the only form of entertainment. Her mother, Clara, daring to engage in a week-long affair with a traveling man, which was the ultimate cause of her existence, ended up having her blacklisted in the community.

When Arabella asked her mother why she had done it, the woman simply placed a bowl of stew in front of her and smiled as she spoke, "He was the only man worthy of my time and in the end, he earned it."

"But everyone talks crap about you all of the time!" Ara protested.

"Well… while they talk, I earned you. That's worth it, isn't it?" Her mother asked.

Arabella simply didn't think that was a fair trade at all, considering the trouble she got in and how smart her mother was.

Ara got into fights with boys every other day, she had quit fighting with girls after they cried from one hair pull.

Her mother got them out of poverty with one power play.

Ara had spent her first three years of her life sleeping in stables right next to the tavern her mother worked at. Clara's father and Ara's grandfather had kicked the young woman out the minute she turned out to be pregnant. Unfortunately for the bitter man, he had no other children, so when he passed away when Ara was three, her mother earned the farm, made a deal with the nearby farmer which ended with them having a home, land, and work.

Clara ended up becoming one of the most wealthy farmers in the town.

While Ara beat up their sons.

One night, as her mother patched up her battle wounds, she wondered aloud, "Hmmm… maybe your father was a fae after all. With all of the spite you've got, you're surely one."

Her mother wasn't far from the truth.

Because at the ripe age of 7, as Arabella fell into the creek and with no one to save her, accepted her fate as the bastard child who drowned.

At least, until the water pulled her out and then began to talk to her.

Yes… talk to her.

Now, you see, Arabella's magic was something much different than everyone else. While they manipulated the world around them, using their internal mana to create change…

She nurtured it.

Arabella didn't have a hint of mana inside of her. Instead, it was all around her. The world looked at this small girl and instead of leaving her alone, they decided she could interact with everything.

A leaf? She could talk to it. A rock? She had great conversations with one every Tuesday. The world was one big conversation and whenever she wanted magic cast, all she had to do was ask.

Of course, this had its own problems.

Now, while she could ask the world to perform a task, that didn't mean it would perform it. Arabella had to be nice, she couldn't just demand everything.

For a girl with a lot of fire, that was an issue.

On more than one occasion she found herself dealing with things backfiring.

"Why can't you just DO AS YOUR TOLD!" She yelled as she threw a rock at the water.

Then the water threw a rock back and knocked the girl straight out.

Arabella learned to be nicer to the spirits from then on.

She called them spirits because what else could she call them? No one else's magic was like this.

Arabella could listen to the world and while it could listen back, there was no one to listen with her.

One night Arabella finally told her mother about the voices, hoping…. Knowing… that since her mother was so smart, she would have the same powers! She simply had to be waiting for Ara to earn hers… right?

When Clara's face suddenly shifted from her normal soft look to a hardened one, Ara knew she was wrong.

Her father was the strange one.

Of course he had to be, the man who ruined everything, being the one who had fathered this magic.

Clara loved her daughter the same and ended up letting slip that perhaps she could meet her father and learn more about this magic.

And where was her dear old dad?

The magical capital of course. Right where a farm girl like her could never think to be.

So Arabella gathered her mother's smarts and made a plan.

From that day on, she threw herself into school, until school became too easy, then manners came next, she needed to be polite to the spirits.

She still fought with idiot farm boys, of course.

Then she finally proved she had magic. However, she didn't let the true nature of her powers slip. She simply made it seem like she had the elemental abilities of both earth and water, the two easiest spirits to handle, and the town ran with it.

Clara's child was going to be a mage? A wizard!? Maybe she would join the royal court. Magic was rare after all, a gift the old farm town would never see again for generations.

Marriage was suddenly brought up, but Arabella quickly made it clear that she was going to go away to school.

Like she would want to marry an idiot farmer anyways. If anything, she would marry an amazing, intelligent magician.

Her mother laughed when she told her this and said she would have married Ara's father if possible.

Ara thought that her father was the stupidest part of her mother. A no good fae, seducing a smart country girl and then leaving her high and dry with child.

At the age of 16, Ara sent her letter to the magical capital of the world, Icosa. The Academy of Magic in Icosa was simply the best in the world. Arabella would settle for no less.

When she got her confirmation for her interview and magic test, her mother packed her up and shipped her off to the nearest testing location.

And then when her acceptance letter finally came, they both cried in the kitchen for hours, although Ara would deny it.

Saying goodbye to her mother was the hardest thing. The capital wasn't simply a carriage away…. But a two weeks worth trip.

Now… Ara is here… in the magic center of the world, preparing to start at the Academy.

However, she is a child of fire, water, earth, and all of the rest. Nothing could stop her now.

Magic, really was, a wonderful thing.

((I do not own the picture. I simply thought it suited her well until I draw her myself. To tell the truth it's been awhile since I've written something properly and I haven't posted anything I've written here before. This is simply a roleplay character showcase but I thought it would be fun to display here!!! Also there is definitely grammar errors considering I didn't look this over and wrote it quickly.)
