In Xak Tural, Scone is called by the name Mittaaho on accident. There’s a quick apology and laughter soon after, but the moment sticks with him for the rest of his adventure. Once the dust settles, he returns and asks about the name. He’s told about a Hhetsarro woman, named Yameke, who lives on the outskirts of a Shaaloani town, and it…takes him a few days to actually go to her. When he does, it’s with the company of Krile and G’raha. The door opens on that fateful night to a woman who feels like home. She hugs him, calls him her dearest Maatse, and he can feel something inside of him finally relax.

what if they.,,,, held hands

[dayntee]

Ugh I love this fucking disaster wizard.

Give me the dumbest smart men any day of the week.

it will never not be intensely funny to me that this banter between karlach and gale only triggers after the weave scene lmao

protag: mind projects a romantic walk with just the two of them holding hands tenderly / a passionate kiss

gale: i (i mean NOT me) detected a HINT ☝️ of romantic interest MAYBE 🤔

[angelesca]

a soon-to-be-husband's plan for successful marriage! w.c. ~900

requested by: @kimura-uzuri lots of kisses as per the request, suggestive, all of them are idiots in love and mega pathetic (just how we like 'em amirite) added some extra characters & stretched the prompt, but the core remains the same - hopefully you don't mind :)) (!! written before playing 3.1! only seen some bits and pieces)

anaxagoras's "all according to calculation" love letter!

to my dearest, if you were to reject me, i think i'd cry with my one eye since our fateful encounter, i've found myself... happy agitated, with these bothersome feelings aglaea said it was "love". hah. what does she know?, aroused by, simply, your presence in my orbit. it nags endlessly, claws at my throat when i breathe, these insignicant matters should afford me no pleasure... yet, the heart is no longer a master of itself, desperately wrestling from your grip, but inevitably chained to your smile that is interwoven with my memories. i also cannot forget how you suplexed me after our first kiss my lips spring and curve at an accord of their own when you spare as little as a glance at me. to who else can be ascribed such a feat? congratulations i guess a scholar's instinct is to question in the face of adversity. and questions must be accompanied by answers. as i write this to you, i have finally sumrised the truth. why i feel what i do, i must acknowledge it now... i adore you. i am eternally yours-- i must spend my life with you. ... *unintelligible scribbling*

anaxagoras looks up from his page, staring at you. "did that work?"

work? it didn't even try. "what? what are you- why did you read me a whole love letter? i didn't even know you had it in your bones to write sappy romance."

anaxagoras's eye twitches. he took that to heart. his formula for the perfect proposal is breaking, time to move onto plan b.

you throw your hands on your hips. "what's with you?" kiss. "you just came home after-" kiss. "-being away for so long." kiss. "is something wrong with your head?" kiss. "stop that! it won't distract me from your failure of a proposal."

"tch." anaxa clicks his tongue, slumping defeatedly like a child who got caught red-handed. so much for his perfect plan. well, when all else fails, there's only one final strategy: "well? are we getting engaged?"

you sigh. "you could've said that in the first place..." kiss. "..."

little did you know, that was a display of anaxagoras's restraint. the power of a scholar comes from more than their words, you learned the hard way, sore in bed the next day.

phainon's "super special, totally epic °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°" checklist!

1. i miss my partner so much... (´-ω-`) must return to okhema 2. buy a ring (maybe ask aglaea?) (ugh, i can't let mydei know or he'll tease me) 3. ??? 4. become husband!!! (☆ω☆)

step 1. miss my partner... check. duh. ┐(‘～` )┌ return to okhema? check.

step 2. buy a ring. check. aglaea, with a stifled chuckle, gladly helped the clueless phainon pick out a ring perfect for you. after all, someone who pairs an orange shirt with purple pants could hardly be trusted with picking out an engagement ring. successfully avoided mydei's keen eyes.

step 3. ???

phainon stares at you. "???"

"???" you stare back.

"???????????" phainon took the third step too literally. what is this doofus doing?

realising that his plan is falling apart, phainon panics. "c-c-c-c-can i k-kiss you?" his lips unconsciously push together, pouting, as if practicing his kissing on your ghost.

you frown. "why are you asking like it's our first time doing it?"

"oh, right..."

you playfully roll your eyes. "come here, you."

phainon skips over, brightened, lowering his head for you. you press kisses on them. then, ten more for good measure, because, well, phainon and kisses just go well together, clicking like a puzzle.

"haha, that was nice." phainon's cheeks were red as tomatoes, pressing his hands on them like a youthful maiden in love. then, he latches onto your arm, intertwining. "let's settle down soon. i'm so tired of fighting bad guys all day," he mumbles.

"settle down? like family?" you ask.

"whatever you desire: children, dogs, cats, potted plants. i'm okay with anything you want, as long as you want it," phainon beams. "i just want to start a new life with you!"

beneath all the sweet words, phainon feels that he forgot something integral... something something... become husband... well, whatever. as long as you're happy, phainon can't think of much else when you're calling out his name at night. ( ‾́ ◡ ‾́ ) the neighbours are tired bro...

(days later, you found the engagement ring left in his pocket before taking his clothes for laundry)

mydei's "conquer and overcome all adversities" (is he still talking about proposing?) goal!

1. propose

mydei holds out his hand. "let us form a legal, committal union under a contract."

your jaw drops. mydei had just returned home and these were his first words after being apart for so long? "s-sorry?"

mydei huffs. "you know what i mean."

"you mean a marri-"

COUGH COUGH.

...?

you scrunch your eyebrows. "you want to marr-"

COUGH COUGH.

... mydei is blushing, eyes glossy. how could one word have such an effect? scratch that, how has he made it this far into the relationship? romance was certainly not in the kremnoan dictionary.

you take a deep breath. "mydei, you can just say the word."

"the word."

you sigh. this was too slow. "fine. i agree."

"agree?" mydei looks at you expectantly.

"to establish a legal contract that binds us together."

"oh," mydei smiles. "well, let us make haste." he swings you over his shoulder easily, as if carrying feathers. now, it's going too fast - he really can't set a pace.

"hey! what the-" by the time you realised, you were already at an altar, face-to-face with your husband-to-be. never in your life have you witnessed your body being covered in so many marks the night after the wedding, and your lips were definitely bruised.

you sternly warned mydei, and what is repressed comes back stronger, as he hugged you 24/7, stealing your waist instead of lips. a kremnoan warrior always stays conquering, even when proving his eternal love for you.

a/n: i just found out there are anaxa chibis but its too late im afraid. pea head anaxa for life who's with me also here's some behind the scenes! originally i wrote this for phainon's step 3:

phainon gets on his knees and- oh, oh my god- "PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE-"

"phainon???" his name barely leaves your mouth as a breath, for you can hardly construct words, let alone a sentence.

LMAOOO it was way too much. anw ty again! i had fun writing it! sorry this was kinda short, i wrote this up as quick as i could. but if you'd like me to re-make the request bc it was too silly, lemme know xx

[lukasz-r]

"Why is it you?"

"Why do I care more about you than anyone else in the goddamn world?"

Ah yes. Another fanart for Peach Flavored Kisses..

I love this chapter but I can't draw every scene.

Peach Flavored Kisses by @introverted-monkey-noises on ao3

The only reason this took me so long is because of finals+no motivation+good god the summer heat in Philippines.. Anyways, as usual, im looking forward to the next chapters—especially now that these idiots are talking shit out. Small progress, but it's progress, amirite?

(Also, i didn't really check the descriptions, so this is mostly just my own imagination)

Whooooo! Here it is, y'all! The idiot boys!! We love them but gah are they frustrating. But at least it's free entertainment, amirite? (Thank you so so so much @mellosdrawings ! They look so gorgeous and Leona is so right. That color does look good on him. 🤣)

(and excellent timing since I just released Chapter 8 last night. haha)

You can read the scene in the commission in the previous fic, I Want You in Chapter 9. I'm linking this fic, however, because I've already got the post for Ja² and the commissions for that out and I was waiting on this comm to get this one out. Sorry about the wait y'all.

You guys. If you read that chapter, Chapter 9, after seeing this art—if you enjoy that chapter, I heavily encourage you to read Tell It to My Heart today!

You won't be disappointed!

@mac-cheez I win.

Question for any vampires, vampire hunters, or bored tumblr users:

My girlfriend and I saw a welcome mat that said "Welcome Fall" and I said 'they would die to vampires', under the rule that a welcome mat counts as permission. She countered that it said welcome fall not welcome all and that puns don't count. I say intention matters more then wording.

So:

[one-piece-aus]

What would marriage life would be like with the seven warlords?

This is an old anon request, I do apologize for not getting to it sooner but here we go

What Marriage Life Would Be Like With the Seven Warlords (Headcanons)

It's pretty chill being married to Mihawk

Y'all just vibe in a mansion on an isolated island

I imagine Mihawk is a person of quality time and acts of service so the two of you would often spend time together

Whether it's reading in your library or cooking dinner for each other, every moment you do together and action you do for him is cherished in Mihawk's heart, even if he doesn't mention it

He makes sure you're healthy and well (eating properly, making sure you get your sleep)

This man will be able to instantly tell if your state is the slightest bit off and will not hesitate to voice his concern

He is not opposed to having children, the idea might amuse him

In fact, after Zoro and Perona had made their appearance, Mihawk grew fond of the idea taking care of his own child, even if they would be irritating at times

Btw, Zoro and Perona think you two act like an old married couple ❤

Only way this would be possible is if you are someone like Luffy

She might not understand exactly what marriage life means but she will do her best to make you happy

She is going to cook for you and feed you

She will bathe you and make sure you have the best clothes to wear

And she will order the best doctors to bring you back to your best health if you get sick

She is taking ✨amazing✨ care of you

The two of you are just living the life of luxury regardless of where you choose to live because you two are together and happy

You will not have kids (for a number of reasons that I will not get into because this is supposed to be a fun post)

Alright, I had no idea what to do for Moria so I asked @ask-the-night-crowl for these headcanons, thank you again Snugs

In a marriage, Moria would totally rely on his partner to fulfill all the duties he has/ should be responsible for. Granted, the other mysterious four already take over most of those, but someone has to keep them all in check.

His spouse better not be aversed by his crew, because for as much as he says he doesn't care about these idiots, he would also face death to protect them.

Unless him and his s/o have known eachother for a pretty long time, he'll try to keep them at an arm's length. Not necessarily because they don't have good enough of a connection, but the idea of loss is always on his mind.

He doesn't mind affection. In fact, he'll back-handedly seek it out by annoying his s/o until they give him attention if he so desires. He's pretty much like an oversized cat.

On the other hand, you'll also have to be prepared not to see him for days on end, because of his sleeping habits (Again, like a cat).

But in that time, cuddling with him is totally fine, because once that man is out, he sleeps like a rock.

His frequent nightmares might lead to the conclusion that comforting him would be the answer. But he hates the idea of being treated as weak as that and would much rather appreaciate the mere presence of his s/o when he wakes up next to them.

In contrast, he'll offer the same to his s/o when they feel down and would have an immediate (even petty) grudge against anyone harming them.

Staying in with him at a fireplace, drinking fancy wines and making fun of the other warlords would be his favorite way to spend time when he's awake for once.

If the spouse is good at cooking, you can bet they'll become his personal chef - after all, love goes through the stomach amirite.

If you're marrying Doffy, his family comes as a package deal, you can't have him without it, that being said, he expects you to get along with them (you can tolerate them instead but just don't let him notice)

Of course, he will expect you to take care of Baby 5, Buffalo, and Dellinger as if they were your children, he is open to making blood offsprings, but never put them before him

Doffy is your number 1 priority, whatever he says goes

But just because he's demanding doesn't mean he won't show you affection, in fact, most of his demands is just him wanting to give or receive affection

You are showed in gifts and luxury, he is the king of Dressrosa afterall, your word has every weight as his own since your are his queen

He is proud to show off his spouse, you are his most prized possession after all

However, you are more than just a trophy, after the loss of his dear mother and brother, he holds you close and tells you how dear you are to him every night

You are often woken up in the middle of the night due to his rustling from nightmares, just hold him to calm him down

Crocodile keeps you in the dark about his work, for all you know, he is a casino owner in Alabasta that keeps the people safe from pirates since he's a warlord

He takes you out for a stroll around in the evening, outside to admire the stars, or in the casino where your every need is met

He doesn't show affection in public but his gestures do show you belong to him and no one else

He keeps you company in bed at night until you fall asleep but when you wake up, he is not there, he's working as always

When see him next, he'll have a gift for you, an apology for not being able to always be around as he is a very busy man, but he'll make it up to you

I imagine it would be comfortable, like little cottage in nature kind of comfy

You both would wake up in the morning with a nice cup of tea

Your place would be clean and organized

You'd receive lots of comforting hugs and cuddles

Life would be peaceful

Until strawhat crew comes knocking on your door

Don't quite have any ideas for Kuma so... This is end, I hope you enjoy anon, and thank you for requesting

A More Sensual Approach to A Scientific Method

Fandom: Arcane (League of Legends) Status: In Progress Rating: Explicit (18+) Current Word Count: 29.9k Summary: An anonymous benefactor generously commissions the Hextech Industry partners roughly a year into their founding with the proposition of obtaining their assistance in creating a scandalous vision come true. This ludicrous device was never a part of the Hextech partner's expansive agendas originally, but the offer of a life-changing lump sum check combined with the very explicit condition of being granted permission to "use any excess funds as they so desire or need", proves itself to be far too tempting of an offer for the up-and-coming Hextech Industries to pass up. Though it seems unethical at first, not to mention undoubtedly hedonistic and lewd, who knows what other doors the profits related to this invention could open? And what kind of inventors could Jayce and Viktor claim themselves to be, if they didn't thoroughly and personally test their own product first-hand?

(AKA: i needed an excuse to write T4T jayvik [redacted] and falling in love in an ever-so-slightly lower stakes setting because i’m feral for them)

God, it's been a while since I've done digital art. If only I have a tablet, I might have an easier time drawing there instead of a tiny phone, but no use crying over spilt milk. Here's the reference sheet for Techno Branch!

Man do I love a quality drop.

I don't know how to make my drawings aesthetically pleasing like I've seen other artist do, so this is all you get lol. But anyway here's the boi!! (Ignore my handwriting, it's usually better than it is here, I just have difficty writing on a phone).

I was actually gonna make his Grey version and True Colours version, but I was an idiot and hadn't copied his lineart before I combined it with the colours. So, I might have to redo his entire lineart from scratch. Art is so fun :)

More info below the cut!

So Branch here is more dull and glow less brightly (or not at all) compared to his brethren. Probably a side effect of going Grey for so long. I doubt the Techno Trolls of today would know how to help him fully because, while they probably have a better way of helping traumatized Trolls than the Pop Trolls, they wouldn't exactly know how to bring Branch's True Colours back, as he doesn't know Techno culture and they don't know him well, and that grey Techno Trolls were a rarity in it of itself.

Back when he was Grey, at some point in time the heart on his chest was split in two due to relentless trauma. Ater regaining his True Colours did it combine again, but after being Grey for so long I doubt it'll ever be truly whole again (trauma, amirite?).

Combined with that he probably doesn't like looking at his arm lights, as it reminds him that he's different than the rest of the Pop Trolls, adding more hurt to his already painful life (yikes). So he covers it with arm warmers, and by the time he regained his happiness it became a habit to wear them.

I like to think that Branch likes being on the ground more than swimming, so he's constantly walking and climbing around. Hence, the crease marks on his fins. 'Cause I like to think that Techno Trolls are not built for long periods of standing up straight. And Branch has done the exact opposite of that. Building a bunker by himself is hard, imaging doing that with a pair of swimming flippers. My feet would cry in pain lol.

Anyway, that's all I have for now, if you have questions feel free to ask and I'll do my best to answer. With this out of the way, I can finally finish up my notes on what happens in World Tour. Hope you don't mind long paragraphs 'cause WHOO BOY lol.

" how the hell is that chivalrous? you got all grumpy when i . . . " her expression turns a bit perplexed; detective and psyncer looking around as her braid's ending tails gently near her lower calves.

aiba isn't responding. it's like . . . she's offline, but i can't even see the manual in my left eye . . . in a dream, she'd still be with me.

" when i . . . ? somnium is latin for 'dream'. so then . . . if she isn't here . . and yet i can still see . . . then - . . " am i unconscious? not to brag to myself but damn is it almost impossible for anyone to take me on. i really don't wanna know wh--- huh? the moment she looks up she is met with a miffed, albeit offended demeanor in strands of dark purple and vibrant eyes.

the moment dark reacts; teeth bared uncannily sharp for a human being(?), pupils catlike and fiery; that mizuki realizes how much absence of fear she possesses. maybe someone would be disturbed by that. maybe it would be normal. maybe being here, without her literal only working eye to ever faithfully communicate to her or her adoptive father what the hell was going on. to guide her, be it before her eye, like everything else in her life, kept being stolen away.

the smirking face on the pretty teen's features vanishes to something serious and mature; well, already matured, but something almost old and weary enters her eyes in equal measures as sharp as a blade. it's the look of someone who has seen beyond her years.

" it's . . . a somnium is - never mind. if it was one, someone i know would be here. so hold up on the funny reaction you made to that. i'll explain why in a bit. this clearly is something much different. at least, for me. it feels like a dream, which is what somnium means. i can't go into more than that even if i really am unconscious right now . " she continues to glance at the paintings, the columns and pillars, worn but holding a sense of affection and cold warmth intermingled all at once.

listening to him idly she feels a pang of all too constant loneliness. aiba wasn't online or awake, nor was she even in this remote, cold and empty realm of dreams. the only thing that was is . . .

dark continued to rant and complain about her presence; and unconscious, dream, or no dream, she was too logical to think it was some bizarre - well scratch that, she'd seen a lot. . . mizuki couldn't help but realize she was in the wrong here . pride took the bit most if not all the time, vulnerability and a massive, gold bright heart with nowhere to go . . . was a given for the petite woman. all the same . .

" you're wrong. " her light voice cuts clear and echoing in the space. she turns her head; finding that for once, her eyes aren't the only strange thing . at least, in the real world, or she speculates. ryuki had the cross pupil almost drowned out by the dark red tama gave off in his left eye. aiba though, with her golden brightness, only made it more visible. the shape of a strange x or cross mark instead of a regular pupil. it looked . . . more dull, here.

" you're wrong saying no one is here. " she steps towards the area he's cowering from the small girl's strength just in words alone.

" . . you're here, so there isn't 'nothing'. there isn't 'something'. there's someone. and that's you. " she gestured to him with one gloved finger; the other hand limp against her side.

" . . . can you tell me about this place ? we can bicker later. well, maybe not too long. " i better not be in a coma. date might get weird after he gets angry about boss probably knowing about me and the 'cat incident' . . .

" just tell me. in this space, you're the only one that's here. and i barged in. i get that. i'll own that, so don't be so dramatic, geez. it's like you've never gotten a taste of your own medicine. " yeah, in this space, in this place i'm not alone. there's someone here, how, why, i don't know.

but he's here, and that's a start to somewhere.

' SEXIST ?! ' he halts half-hunkered behind the grim ruins of the pillar , sharp teeth and pupils alike bared and pointed in tandem with an ostensibly offended finger . ' it's chivalrous ! chivalrous ! besides , if you just barge in and start throwing your fists around only because i'm a man , isn't that pretty sexist of you too in some way ?! and what's wrong with my outfit --- ?! '

backwards ! this was all completely backwards , from top to upended bottom ! he really had no idea what was going on , and neither did she apparently , so what was the point ?! ' we don't even have a referee ! this is completely one-sided ... ! ' and with no place to escape given their surroundings , it's a miracle she even halts to focus on them .

' --- somnium ? ' dark's finger alongside the volume of his voice lowers , though his glare from behind the pillar does not relent . ' ... you're in a dream world . ' he clicks his tongue , and it echoes across the grim halls . ' mine , that is . ' kid ... was this violent gorilla of a girl looking for daisuke ? the relationship between a tamer and their wing was always strange . if she was searching for the niwa like this , then there wasn't one to be found --- only him , the second self , shut up in this desolate place . ' there's nothing and nobody in here . '

not beyond himself , and now shockingly , her , at least .

' ... so why don't you just leave ? '
