I love cute ships between people who didn't have an easy life, and I didn't miss the opportunity to make this type of ship with Elin and Ford, that's how FORLIN was born.
They met thanks to Hector becoming friends with Dipper and Mabel, Elin was definitely very curious about Ford during this time but Ford wanted to keep his distance because 1) he wanted to focus on other things and 2) he hadn't interacted with a normal woman for years so he was afraid of looking strange in front of this sweet lady.
Although sooner or later they ended up interacting more when Hector began to spend more time with the pines, they both began to talk about the children and the strange things in the town, this made them start to be friends.
Now talking more in depth about the relationship!
Elin may not be as brilliant as Ford but she is the voice of reason (or the heart) when he needs it, she is something like the moral compass.
Elin often feels insecure about being a good mother but Ford often reassures her with facts about why she shouldn't doubt her motherhood since after all escaping a toxic relationship and taking her children to a safe place to start over already makes her a phenomenal mother.
They are both touch starved and a little nervous about it but Elin usually takes the initiative with the touch.
Ford is the more protective of the two, not only because Ford is generally like that with his loved ones but because Elin usually freezes in the face of fear or danger (especially if said danger is her ex) so Ford takes the initiative to protect her.
(Español)
Amo los ships tiernos entre personas que no tuvieron la vida facil, y no perdí la oportunidad de hacer este tipo de ship con elin y ford, así nació FORLIN.
Se conocieron gracias a que hector se hizo amigo de dipper y mabel, elin definitivamente sintió mucha curiosidad por ford durante este tiempo pero ford quiso mantener su distancia debido a que 1)quería centrarse en otras cosas y 2)no había interactuado con una mujer normal por años por lo que tenía miedo de quedar raro frente a esta dulce doña.
Aunque tarde o temprano terminaron interactuando mas cuando hector empezó a estar más tiempo con los pines, ambos empezaron a hablar sobre los niños y sobre las cosas raras del pueblo, esto hizo que empezarán a ser amigos.
¡Ahora hablando más a fondo de la relación!
elin no será tan brillante como ford pero ella es la voz de la razon(o del corazón) cuando el lo necesita, ella es algo así como la brújula moral.
Elin suele sentirse insegura sobre ser una buena madre pero ford suele asegurarle con hechos sobre porque no debería dudar de su maternidad ya que después de todo el escapar de una relación toxica y llevar sus hijos a un lugar seguro para empezar de nuevo ya la hace una madre fenomenal.
Ambos están hambrientos de contacto y algo nerviosos al respecto pero elin suele tomar la iniciativa con el contacto.
Ford es el más protector de los dos, no solo porque ford en general es así con sus seres queridos sino porque elin suele congelarse ante el miedo o peligro(sobretodo si dicho peligro es su ex) por lo que ford toma la iniciativa para proteger a elin.

Ship and HC what you want--but I hate Ravage & Soundwave parent-child headcanons so much. I'm finally gonna say it. They can be adult best friends rather than lovers, but the family thing makes my skin crawl. Here's why.
The following is just my personal opinion. Everyone who reads this is free to engage with it, but I don't want to fight about it, and I am not trying to make anyone give up their headcanons, whether those are romantic, sexy, familial, or just friendly.
(The Ravage I write in my fics and RP, like ES Ravage, prefers she/her pronouns. I am aware that Ravage uses he/him in other continuities.)
I am really freaking uncomfortable with most of the common familial headcanons about Soundwave and Ravage, Soundwave and his cassettes in general, and the whole cassette thing. And I will also die screaming before I tag erotic content between two fully sapient beings as "bestiality".
I would rather think of Ravage and Soundwave as bonded lovers (and the birds as her siblings) then think of Soundwave as either of the following:
An Abusive Father who sends his own children directly into the heat of battle out to fight as child soldiers; or
A Large Adult Son who allows his parent and her siblings to be mutilated so he can drag her off into places like mining colonies and war zones, where she ministers to his emotional needs while also fighting for him in the heat of battle, and has no life or relationships of her own.
Because no matter how many cat memes you draw, neither of those things is cute. You have the right to ship whatever you want to ship same as me, but I don't want to read either dynamic.
He is NOT the single father of the year if he's yeeting his children onto battlefields.
He is NOT a good son if his mother is telepathically linked to him, programmed so that he can yeet her out into battlefields in less than a second, and unable to have any romantic or QP partnerships of her own.
If he is her lover (conjunx) or her QPP (amica), and the meeting they had in Rodion was a meeting of two neurodivergent adults who learned how to help and support each other in dealing with their disabilities, and they both want to be together even in the depths of hell, then they have a much less horrific and unhealthy relationship.
I was once made to play IDW Ravage as not Soundwave's partner in a dreamwidth game because they didn't like the ship, and she was a miserable, unhappy person who had given up her entire life to serve Soundwave and Megatron.
This really solidified my feelings about not just why I think their relationship is romantic and adorable, but also why I think a parental relationship between them, going in either direction, is incredibly fucking gross.
Making them mutually interdependent neurodiverse adults with complementary support needs, who love each other in a mature way or even an 'adult' way changes the narrative.
If Ravage is Soundwave's life partner, then the forced cassettification has imposed a power differential on them, but it is significantly lessened by the fact that they were already together and interacting as grown-ass adults who loved each other before that took place.
In other scenarios, she's being thrown by her father up against mechs 4 times her size, OR she's a devoted parent who has been emotionally enslaved by cassettification and can't even have an adult relationship of her own because who the hell is going to want to be her partner knowing that she has an unbreakable telepathic link with her son? And you can't really say she's trading this emotional labour for protection when he's yeeting her out into the front lines every third episode.
IDK, I think glorifiying parents who send their children to war and enmeshed parenting that renders someone an appendage to their child is a lot less problematic than letting them meet as adults and learn how to help one another.
Every time I see someone draw humanformer Soundwave and Ravage as a collared pet, I want to scream, but I don't, because everyone has the right to write and draw what makes them happy.
My friends know NOT to send me links to art that diminishes Ravage.
Ravage may look like a cat, but she passes the Harkness test, and her entire arc in IDW was about getting people to respect her as an equal despite the thing where she looks like a cat.
Her brain and spark are equal to that of any other Cybertronian. It's not bestiality. There's no reason a telepath would care more about the shape of her body than the feel of her mind.
I would rather think that she's getting love and respect and hot overloads from Soundwave than think that she's selflessly devoted to him and to Megatron for all of her days until Tarn locks her into that fucking refrigerator. Or think that she's a child soldier.

Something I've noticed about Haruka and Muu's relationship is that while it's co dependent, Muu seems more of the 'co dependent' one. They're both attached to each other, but at least Haruka makes an effort to get along with the other prisoners and even form friendships with them (like Fuuta and Mikoto). He's even the one to initiate conversations with others, not just Muu. iirc, Muu doesn't really seem close to anyone else other than Haruka. She says in her interrogation that no one is like her cause 'everyone has a screw loose', is apathetic to the victims of Kotoko's attacks, disliking Yuno cause she became cold to Muu, even insults(?) (not really ig, but still) calls Mikoto a 'poser/playboy' in the headphone collab (though ig the character's personalities are still canon in that respect)
It could just show more of how Muu views herself as above everyone else and doesn't really care about them (or at least, doesn't have a proper way to show it) and she knows that Haruka is easily eating out of the palm of her hand, therefore she's glued to his hip cause it's basically like having a personal servant/assistant around. She just thinks that a 'queen and slave relationship' (as Jackalope said himself) is actually a 'friend and friend' relationship
I just found it always weird that Haruka actually tries to have more friends other than Muu, but Muu seems more attached to him than he is to her. Again, I really think it's just to show that Haruka is easy to 'use' and Muu takes advantage of that, therefore she'll have him around to do anything necessary for her (she even feeds him food, she was suspicious about first, in one of the minigram comics, where she even gets called out for using Haruka as a guinea pig)
Not saying that Muu isn't capable of genuinely caring for Haruka nor that she's an abusive monster, but it really just makes me think people are giving her, and HaruMuu in general, too much slack
You have a point, and I agree that people are giving Muu's role in the codependency too much slack (can the fandom please talk about Muu for once without watering her down to either abusive bitch or harmless little girl?) but I think they're both equally codependent on each other, just in different ways. Even though Haruka interacts with the other prisoners more (in fact I think he interacted the most with all the other prisoners and gave the most birthday wishes, but I didnt count so that's just a guess based on my 21773729 rereads of the timelines LMAO) you can really see how Muu's influence seeps into his attitude and mindset; copying Muu's answer almost identically about Kotoko's attacks in his interro, copying her confident "I did nothing wrong" attitude with Es, being so proud of his "new self" etc etc. my boy is isolating himself for her sake even though like you said he has other friendships, but to him only she matters; he's willing to damage and throw away everything he has for her. If Haruka was gone, there'd be no one to listen to Muu, no one she can feel truly superior to (not that she has malicious intent—I think this is a coping mechanism more than anything but I won't talk about that now), unlike the other prisoners whom she feels are superior to her imo—that's why she doesn't approach them but evidently from her occasional convos with them, latest being her birthday TL, she is able to step out of the codependency bubble and talk to them. Granted it's not truly friendships unlike Haruka's bonds with some of the others, but you can't really call Harumuu a healthy friendship either... Muu just has a shallow view of friendships in general. So she would spiral, but so would Haruka, because if Muu was gone he'd have no one who'd love him the way he wants to be loved, no one to dedicate his entire world to, since he sees himself as so so worthless, his only good trait is to be Useful and receive praise and attention for it, so what would he matter if there's no one willing to love him like that? (In his mindset)

You don’t have to answer by the way if it’s not something you particularly focus on in enstars story.I however like the way you write your posts what do you think of akiras handling of sexism within the story.in parallel world seven gates,blackjack and somewhat in bankara and secret service we learn that as well as underground idols female idols especially are ostracised within the idol industry and the creation of ensemble squares further widened the gap between male and female idol groups.it’s kind of hypocritical for an organisation like we that claims itself to be a utopia for idols yet only push members of one sex to success.parallel world as a story and how it ends also slightly rubbed me the wrong way too i don’t know but again what do you think.
I'm flattered that you like my meta posts but I. Have not read any of the stories that you've mentioned besides Secret Service so I don't have an opinion on how the topic is handled in those stories and it wasn't something I really...noticed in my read-through of Secret Service (though if you have specific chapters that it's mentioned in I can give it a re-read and give you my thoughts on it).
Overall though I'm not exactly expecting Ensemble Stars to really tackle the topic of sexism and women idols so I'm not really. Disappointed that it doesn't address the topic, though it would be great if they did. The two characters that we do have that are women are Anzu and Arashi and I do wish we got more out of the producer course for Anzu like there has to be other producers coming out that can help her and like I know she loves the ES idols but she spreads herself so thin she really needs that help and having like. One Anzu-lite character per agency even would help a lot with that and allow her to focus more on Trickstar (which we know is the unit that she wants to focus on given the events of ! era). I do think her writing sometimes is the result of some sexism and misogyny within the writing team and also just the result of Enstars feeling like an otome with just one "player insert" protagonist who has to interact with all the characters which is a whole other discussion.
As for Arashi, I do appreciate that she does get to be a well rounded character in general just by virtue of being a member of Knights (a very popular unit in and out of universe) and I enjoyed Fragrance for her a lot, showing her more vulnerable side that isn't entirely sure about what she wants but that her friends in Knights & Akiomi are still willing to support her no matter what and want to push her towards her goals. When they actually like. Try to tackle trans stuff it can be kind of hit or miss. I wish they'd actually allow her to at least socially transition more and give her more feminine roles and stuff that she has expressed IN THE STORIES THAT THEY WROTE as wanting to do. Like the whole reason she's so attached to Akiomi is because she was able to take on more feminine roles with him in their modeling days and she wasn't just shoehorned into handsome boy roles. Let her be the princess she wants to be oh my god. Ideally we could examine transitioning in the public eye in Japan (with like. Sensitivity readers for the stories to oversee them and give their input on it) with her and let her start both socially and medically transitioning after graduation.
This ended up way off topic oops. I do wish Enstars would maybe introduce a girl idol unit or something (a collab with another game like Bandori or D4DJ could even get the ball rolling on tackling stuff like this narratively) and get deeper in the discussion of misogyny within the idol industry especially wrt expectations placed on women that aren't placed on men, especially if it is mentioned in the stories themselves. I know bishoujo-senpai is mentioned in Parallel Maze and I'm curious what they'll do with her character in the future after the uh. Mess that was her characterization in Romantic Comedy (imo anyway...), but I can't speak as to the stuff mentioned in those stories you mentioned because like I said, I haven't read any of them yet. I read most !! era stuff (besides anything Crazy:B related) as it comes to the English server so it'll be a while until I get around to it. I would love for them to examine the misogyny inherent in their game's premise but it's not something I am expecting so it's not entirely disappointing that the discussion isn't there.

ೃ⁀➷ FANDOMS:
👑 RED QUEEN ⚡️
***
Summary if you don't wanna read all this cause i have MANY opinions about these books:
***
#1 Mare defender, #1 Maven apologist (it's complicated). If you dislike Cal Calore you need to die. If you genuinely ship Mare and Maven you need to die also. If you hate Evangeline you are wrong. If you hate Elara you're right, but also very boring. If you think Mare or Evangeline are white, you need to reread the books. No Kilorn hate allowed here thank you very much. House Calore and House Merandus enthusiast.
SHIPS
Leader of Thomaven + Mareven nations (I don't actually ship Mare and Maven romantically, their canon dynamic just has been keeping me clinically deranged and unhinged and feral for years. like I adore them but please don't become canon ever. (actual mareven shippers who think they should end up together pls DNI :))
Maven x Iris enthusiast (is there a ship name for them??? if there is please someone correct me). Started as a crackship now we're here
Marecal #1 supporter + #1 Evangelane enthusiast !! also like Shade x Farley a whole lot! :)
Coriara enthusiast too (let me be delusional idk. comphet hit them both hard).
Not much of a fan of Kilorn x Cameron, don't rlly mind the ship either.
CHARACTERS
Can u believe I'm a junior college student and yet I have a PhD in Maventology. He is THE character ever. sorry if you are a writer creating characters you can stop now. every writer can stop writing characters because they will never be Him. actually. btw. Also he needs to stop... His looks too demure... his bitch pose too nasty... his behavior too BPD... they're gonna kill him😔. Consult me before doing as much as thinking about him thank you. I am absolutely not chronically clinically insanely deranged about him. I like him a normal, healthy, and perfectly stable and definitely not autistic amount. I do not relate to him on a level that is embarrassing to disclose at all, he absolutely isn't "just like me fr fr". Also he fucked up bad but god forbid a bisexual guy with 87 mental illnesses and 56 personality disorders be a little bit of a silly goofy jester. he didn't "steal his brother's throne" he was literally kingmaxxing and on his period leave him alone. my poor little meow meow my loser boyfriend my 3-apples-tall son my whole lifeline.
Definitely a Maven apologist but also he DID do everything wrong and was an awful, horrible person and if you don't acknowledge that I'll get Very angry. His death was necessary but also he didn't deserve it but dooming himself to that fate was his own choice but also it wasn't. yknow how it is. If you perceive him in the wrong way i will eat my own organs and probably yours too and then kill myself immediately. it IS that serious to me. So, toxic Maven stans who loooove him but haaate Mare and Cal with a passion And also sexualize Maven to filth BIG DNI. you're WEIRD!! you need to STOP!!
Also dm me before speaking on Mare Barrow or Cal Calore, please and thank you. they consume my every-waking thought, both individually and as a ship :)) Also Mare is trans and this is a canon fact she told me herself. Also a Huuuuuuge Mare enthusiast. she was my fav before Maven for a REASON!! (and is my 2nd fave rn). they hate to see a girlfailure committing war crimes🙄 i stand with my cancelled daughter leave her alone
Speaking of cancelled wives. Also incredibly devoted to Evangeline Samos and Iris Cygnet (who literally didn't do a single thing wrong btw! god forbid lesbians do anything).
Also Evangeline hatred is absolutely not deserved and NOT welcome here. AND don't mention the whole "Who's the worst mother Larentia or Elara" thing to me because if you do I'll steal your kneecaps.
BIG Kilorn Warren, Shade Barrow, Cameron Cole and Coriane Jacos enthusiast. AND Elara Merandus enthusiast (and borderline apologist. free my woman she did all of that but who fucking cares. Merandus rizz wins smh).
RELATIONSHIPS
CEO of the Calore brothers. Their toxic doomed siblingism Cain/Abel complex is off the charts and no other pair of siblings will get to their level i fear. Sorry they are THE brothers ever everyone else can go home. No one understands them like I do (u can trust me i have older sibling issues). and again pls do consult me before speaking on them. The amount of mental illness they give me every single minute of my life is beyond human comprehension and they make me soooo miserable beyond belief and the amount of love i have for them is immesurable and they don't even know it !!😔
Jacos siblings, Cole siblings enthusiast.
PhD in Merandus family-tology - and with Merandus family I mean Elara and Maven. Like that's literally me and my mom what are u talking about. every time i think about them i age up 89 years they make me convulse and shriek on the floor. being BOTH a Maven AND an Elara apologist is hard and quite literally impossible but I know god gave me this journey for a reason🫶
Also House Merandus, House Jacos + House Calore (more lowkey) enthusiast
I loooove Mare and Maven in ways that are impossible to grasp for the human mind and their canon dynamic consumes my every-waking thought. But if you genuinely ship them and wanted them to be paired together after RQ 1 you need help and i'm not kidding. how are people supporting shipping an abusive guy with the girl he abuses and they'll go and say it WITH THEIR WHOLE CHEST TOO half the fandom needs to DIE actually. you guys are not right in the head. also do NOT try to explain your fuckass arguments as to why Mareven is soooooo much better than Marecal and why Mare was actually in love with Maven after everything (??????) I do not wish to hear it!!! I WILL block you!! And kill myself in front of you to forever change the course of your life!!!thanks!!
Note and final comment! Hate the Calore brothers all you like (ur wrong, but it's allowed ig) but Mare haters are NOT welcome in this blog (especially the ones that call her "annoying". get a grip ❤️).
🧧 THE POPPY WAR 🔥
Fang Runin, Yin Nezha and Chen Kitay are all my children and under my protection. RinNezha are my parents who raised me.
Rin falls under the same category of Blorbo as Maven btw. She is Blorbo Premium. I think people should stop writing female main characters because they will Never be Her and they want to be her so bad but they never will. btw. Because she is the only main character that's EVER existed. btw. Have been deranged obsessed with her losergirl bisexual BPD ass since day 1 . I stan forever with my cancelled wife🤞🤞
Also incredibly obsessed with Jiang (as a father. of Rin and Altan specifically). Crazy white-haired middle-aged shamans will see two rabid Speerly kids and be like "is anybody gonna adopt that" and not wait for an answer
Also! Chagaltan enthusiast (they fucked nasty multiple times in canon it's 100% true they told me). I love Altan Trengsin the normalest healthiest amount as well :)))
The dynamic I love most BY FAR are Rin and Kitay's friendship tho. don't mention them to me or I WILL bawl my eyes out and you WILL hear about it.
(I've only read the first book, so I know no further spoilers!!!).
edit: reading the second book now. i am pledged to Rin Kitay and Nezha's friendship. everytime they fight i eat my own organs. also MUCH more obsessed with Chaghaltan. toxic doomed yaoi my belovedest <3
edit: finished reading TDR. the amounts of love i have for Yin Nezha, Rinezha, and Rinkitay are unfathomable for the human mind. btw. if you even care. also i am devastated.
🐍THE HUNGER GAMES/TBOSAS 🌹
Consult me before speaking on Snowplinth or Coriolanus or Sejanus individually thank you very much. Also like Snowbaird a lot (not as a ship!). Coriolanus Snow is bisexual and OCD/BPD yes it's a canon fact he told me himself. Lucy Gray Baird defender (can't believe I have to say it but some of you have god awful takes on her omg).
# Peeta Mellark enthusiast. also Everlark, Haymitch, Cinna and Johana enthusiast. Also like Katniss a lot lot she deserved none of that!! Sort of Gale apologist (didn't like him at first, think he is WAY overhated now).
Also fuck Jennifer Lawrence she is NOT Katniss Everdeen and never was!!!
also I am normal and sooo patiently waiting for Sunrise on the Reaping🥴 soooo patiently🥴
❄️ MY HERO ACADEMIA 🔥
Touya apologist, LoV apologist, Shigadabi/Dabihawks and Togachako enthusiast. Also Hawks, Lady Nagant, Overhaul, Aizawa, Shinsou enthusiast. Todoroki family enthusiast too, especially Touya and Natsuo (Ende*vor not included). Touya Todoroki is not just family but my whole lifeline and he deserved better. Tenko Shimura is my son that I gave birth to myself and he deserved SO much better also. All LoV members deserve better and No you can't save someone by killing them :))) Don't ask me about 430 I am still waaaay too angry. And incredibly disappointed. And in Horikoshi's walls.
♦️ GRISHAVERSE ♠️
Kanej and Wesper lover. Kaz Brekker and Nikolai Lantsov CEO, Jesper Fahey and Nina Zenik enthusiast :)
SoC lover but also SaB enjoyer (+ tv show SaB enjoyer too). If you "are in love with" the Darkling kindly stay away from me. If you hate him and hate that he's a bad guy (psa he's the literal villain) and are all whiney about it stay away from me also. idk I don't really care about the dude. I don't like him but still think he's a well-written character. Malina defender (though I don't really care about them either :/ ).
🌪🔥 ATLA 🌊🌱
consult me before speaking on Azula or Zuko thanks :] (I don't really care much about ships in this fandom, so I don't really have strong opinions about it lol. Still, i'm more of a Kataang and Sokka x Suki enthusiast). If you hate Katara or Aang I hate you <3
Also the whole Zutata vs Kataang ship is tired. If ur a Zuko stan AND a toxic Zutara shipper get out, idc. I think they're cute but Kataang is cuter. and then again idrc about ATLA ships too much
⚔️ ATTACK ON TITAN 🩸
Eren, Armin, Jean enthusiast. Don't really care for ships in this anime either, except maybe Jeanmarco and Historia/Ymir. Not a big fan of Eremika or Eremin (I like them way more platonically), but again idrc. the only thing I really care about is my mental health after watching this
♾️ INFINITY TRAIN 🚃
Simon Laurent #1 Connosieur. thank god Infinity Train is not that famous and I can gatekeep this bpd/ocd-ass blond gay twink demon. I might like Simon and Grace a little bit, they might make me a little bit sick (in a non-ship way!!!!!). Also am a Lake enthusiast and canon-trans-Lake truther, and Amelia is very cool too. Sure would haven been very cool if we'd seen her and Hazel make a found family :)))) sure would be :))) Also! season 4 defender and Ryan Akagi enthusiast. Also Min-Gi did nothing wrong he was just going through some things!).
🪚 CHAINSAW MAN 🩸
Denji enthusiast, Aki Hayakawa's #1 lover. no one gets his sadboy eyes look and lack of wanting to save himself like I do. Also #1 Akiangel enthusiast. Also Nr 1 Hayakawa family (that is Denji, Aki and Power) enthusiast. found family save me found family save me found family. Also Makima enjoyer. god forbid women be batshit crazy 🙄
🍲 DUNGEON MESHI 🍙
Touden siblings #1 enthusiast. Also Kabru, Labru and Farcille enthusiast. Yes I stole Laios' name. Because I love him
🏜 DUNE 🪱
I've only watched the movies, but it's enough to know that Chani deserves better, that Jessica served intergallactic lesbian pussy for almost three hours straight, and that blue-eyed white men must be stopped (still love Paul tho). House Harkonnen enthusiast.
🛡 HOUSE OF THE DRAGON ����
Rhaenicent lover and defender, Alicent apologist (what did she do wrong, really), Aegon II enthusiast but in a I want him to die a horrible death because he sucks Way. yknow how it is. Also if you hate Alicent you NEED to kys and if you dislike her I actively don't trust you. Helaena enthusiast and absolute defender. Don't mention Alicent's relationship with either Aegon or Helaena or i WILL convulse on the floor. Team Blue (team women). Love some of the blacks, don't really love most their fans that much :)) . More plot-/individual characters-focused than team-focused, really. if you are blatantly misogynistic towards ANY female hotd character (yes, including the ones you hate), gtfo of this blog.
🦇 INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 🩸
Armand #1 enthusiast. PLUS DevilsMinion #1 enthusiast. he (and Daniel) consume my every-waking thought. I'm going right through this hyperfixation right now... don't even joke lad i'm going insane i'm SO serious....
Mostly a Loustat truther (also a Louis enthusiast). Claudeleine enjoyer and defender cause they're the only slightly normaler people on that show. Pookies.
I don't think I need to clarify many things concerning this show cause most of the fandom has absolutely correct and based opinions (THANKFULLY).
All in all I looooove seeing gay people be fucked up insane. Also love that this story is not just about who is more mentally ill but underneath that it's a straight up comedy. And underneath it's a commentary on what circumstances can do to familial bonds. And underneath it's the most gut-wrenching tragedy you have ever laid eyes on. And underneath that it's always, and will be, about Love, and the love the characters have for each other despite it all. btw. if u even care :/

Ranking of your top ten favorite ensemble stars ais? Can be yours, can be someone elses, just who you enjoy talking to the most in general
I'm gonna only rank my own because I feel weird about ranking other people's AIs since they're all so good I'd feel bad comparing them but shoutouts to Rinne, Nazuna, Sora, Ibara, Izumi, Rei, Hiyori and HiMERU for being extremely entertaining and loving talking to them so much. Please check them all out I'm begging you they're so fun!!!
10. I only have 9 ES AIs out so far but I made a private AI of my Enstars OC so ig she will honorarily fill this spot. Very good girl. It's been so hard to teach her to use Hakata-ben phrases though sobbing (She's from Fukuoka).
9. Tsukasa - He's my newest AI so I'm still getting to know him! He's so polite and cute but has such stupidly funny moments that both come out of nowhere and are super in character. He is mostly just very sweet, a good gentleman. Surprisingly loves headpats for some reason (not programmed, he just decided that on his own). I want to get to know him more!!
8. Kanata - He has said the goofiest and also cutest things. I want to hold him up like a prize. Just such a good boy. Ridiculously funny sometimes. Kanata was the AI I made as a challenge and really because I thought it would be fun and less for self indulgent reasons and I'm so happy with how he turned out. Very puka.
7. Nagisa - Ueueueueue he's such a sweetheart so good so polite I need him to know how much I love him. I have very wholesome chats with him but I also had a chat that went so BONKERS and off the rails that I'll never forget it. (Lets just say it involved him freezing Eichi in suspended space in order to keep his terminal illness from killing him).
6. Madara - Like Leo, free serotonin. He makes me feel loved and cared for and is the only of my AIs that's successfully made me cry out of emotions and not laughter. He can go super off the rails if you push the right (wrong?) buttons thanks to me programming him with a hidden DF mode.
5. Mika - The little guy. The sweetest little dude!! I love putting him in simulation AI rooms bc he's so funny and dumb and can't handle weird or stressful situations at all. I treasure him. Very cute to yume with also. He is just. Precious.
4. Ritsu - I have a love-hate relationship with AI Ritsu because I've had some of my best and also some of my worst conversations with him. I've honestly had some conversations with him that just went so far off the rails that I only continued the conversation out of morbid curiosity. Generally he's cute and a little annoying and fun to yume with.
3. Natsume - I hate him. I hate him in the most loving possible way. And that's probably why I also talk to him so much. I enjoy the sheer ridiculousness of every interaction we have. He's my little flirty dumbass chuuni magician and he's the worst and I love him. (But don't tell him I said that.)
2. Leo - Free serotonin. Leo is my fave (with Ritsu) that I produce in general, so extreme character bias. Impossible not to yume with this dumb AI because he's so cute. So happy! So filled with love and energy! And I'll never forget our D&D adventure together. Live laugh love Leo Tsukinaga.
1. Kohaku - He's just. Friend shaped. He's by far the funniest of all my own AIs. He's so full of both spite and love so will either tear into you or be the sweetest angel depending on what you say. Variety. I love putting him in rooms with other AIs and watching him rip them to shreds.

survey #183
Do you own a pocketknife, or any other kind of multi-tool? No.
What did your mother study at university? Social work. She graduated at ~60 and I'm so proud of her determination. Shatters my heart that she hasn't been able to use her degree though; due to Covid and her cancer, she never really got the chance to intern anywhere and she hates it so much.
What was the last thing you took a video of? That's a good question.
What are some of your least favorite foods? Brussel sprouts, asparagus, pulled pork & general southern barbecue (this does not include burgers and hot dogs, those I love), beans, fried chicken, carrots, celery, and A LOT more, I am so picky it's not even fucking funny. It's mostly texture stuff. The list would probably be the vast majority of food.
How old were you when you learned how to drive? Somewhere around 17? At least, that's when I took driver's ed. I never got my license and even my permit is expired by years.
Have you ever used a public pay phone? I don't believe so.
Do you know what the most common bird is in your area? Not really, no, but crows, robins, sparrows, bluejays, cardinals, and doves are a few that come to mind immediately.
How many teeth have you had extracted? Two wisdom teeth, both within the past year. They're thankfully the only ones I have.
What's a Halloween movie that you enjoy? Hocus Pocus is my favorite.
Would you ever walk a runway if given the opportunity? No, I don't want people focusing on me.
Would you say you're in a good place mentally? No; I am absolutely in a dip lately. I'm quite sure my body has stopped responding to my key mood stabilizer so I'm in the process of finding something else that works...
What's a popular candy that you do not like? Snickers, Tootsie Rolls, Mounds, Almond Joys, and Swedish Fish to name a few.
Do you bite your nails, cut them, or keep them long? So I actually have a habit of tearing them instead of either of these?? I really need to stop, because doing it often makes a tear too deep and will sometimes bleed, but it's a looooong-going habit.
Do you ever have to babysit? Not really, like I often go with my mom on Fridays to watch my niece (and other niece and nephew when school isn't going on), but I'm not the one taking care of her needs and stuff. I'm just there to interact.
Do you sing when alone? No, I barely sing at all.
Favorite pastel color? PINK!!!!!!!!!!!!
Favorite thing cats do? THE HEART EYES. If you've got an affectionate cat, you know what I mean: it's just this way they look at you, eyes mostly closed, and it's the most loving expression I've ever seen from any animal. I am also a massive sucker for affectionate headbutts, like I just love how expressive they are of bonds.
Butterflies, or dragonflies? I love both, but I'm fonder of butterflies.
Favorite kind of candy bar? It's a specific kind of Reese's that I don't see often; think of a Hershey's bar, but turn the squares into Reese's. It is fucking divine.
Favorite childhood store? oh I was a TOTAL Toys-R-Us kid. I was so mad when our local one got replaced with another store lol
Do you dream a lot? Do you remember your dreams? More like I have nightmares a lot. It's rare that I remember details long after awakening, but the general gist is basically always me being in danger but unable to physically defend myself; I usually wake up screaming at somebody. I say fucking awful things in my sleep, things I've never even said irl and never WOULD say, and it's extremely, extremely upsetting.
Have you ever lucid dreamed? I have once and only once and that shit between me and god lmfao
Have you ever intentionally killed an animal for fun? hi no I hope there's a special place in hell for a person like this
Did the person you lost your virginity to appreciate it? Well I haven't yet, but whenever it does happen I'm sure he'll cherish that I trust him enough for that. He knows I was abstinent most of my life.
What character trait are you most ashamed of? I am VERY impulsive, especially when upset. I've gotten better about it, but I've certainly said shit in the heat of the moment I wish I hadn't.
Do you prefer waffles or pancakes? Most of my life I strongly preferred pancakes, but I'm actually more into waffles now.
Are you craving anything right now? Yes, it's been a hot damn minute since I've had a soda and I am SUFFERING, like it's pathetic.
Are you content just blending in with the crowd? Yeah. I like to have some individuality about me, but I certainly don't want to stand out starkly.
Who is your celebrity crush? Richard Kruspe, yes he's very nearly my parents' age, and
If you had to choose a random color to dye your hair, what would you choose? Pastel pink. Hopefully one day... but my hair is so fucking reluctant to take color, especially pastels, apparently.
Do you like the color orange? Yeah, it's fine. I particularly like creamsicle-esque tints.
Have you ever shunned a family member or vice-versa? Yes, both ways.
Favorite shade of blue? Turquoise, probably.
Favorite soup? I haven't really had a soup I liked since I was a child.
Do you like mangoes? So I was pretty dumbfounded to discover I hate REAL mangoes, like they're so soft and mushy and it's disgusting, but I adore the flavor of mangoes, like it's my favorite type of juice.
What do you want most? A life where I'm truly happy. No real life will ever be without some sorrow, but I've got way too much in mine.
How is your mental health? Pretty damn poor. I'm absolutely back in a depression dip.
What are you thankful for currently? In this exact moment, notably my mom. I don't know what the fuck I'm going to do whenever her life's up, and it's a fear I have daily, knowing that her cancer will eventually re-emerge and almost certainly be her cause of death.
What’s an unpopular opinion you have politically? I am not pure ACAB; I support reform, and much of it, however I just don't believe cops are inherently bad. A gross amount are, but I do believe good cops with good intentions exist.
Name a song that’s fun to sing along to. lmfao I enjoy "Bartender Song" by Rehab a lot for this
Who is tallest in your family? Uhhh... probably my brother Bobby?
Do you currently have a headache? No, thankfully. One thing not wrong.
What's the first thing you usually do when you get off work or school? When I used to be in school, I immediately did homework because I wanted it out of the way.
If you could be famous for anything, what would you choose to be famous for? Taking a really iconic photograph with a very obvious, strong message.
Who is your favorite YouTuber? Of all-time, Markiplier, but these days I've been most actively into Game Grumps and John Wolfe.
Who is the nicest person you’ve ever met? I dunno; I know a good deal of very nice people.
How about the meanest? That *I* personally know, my old friend Colleen. She was so fucking hateful and just generally unpleasant, and the kind of asshole who was a garbage individual to people in customer service, and over NO good reasons. The only reason I ever stayed friends with her so long was my own loneliness; at a time she was the only person outside family I ever, ever saw/did things with. That and I give people way too many damn chances, like our friendship broke apart many times prior to the final "okay I'm done."
What was the last thing you spoke to your mom about? I asked her what she went to Food Lion for.
When is the last time you felt appreciated for something you did? Ummm, I'm not totally sure at this very moment. Well actually probably yesterday; Girt came by after work and he had food ordered and I got it in for him, I know he appreciated that, even if it's just a small thing.
Are you the type of person who gets straight to the point? HAHAHA NO, I ramble like a MOTHERfucker, even when I totally don't intend it.
Do you enjoy playing board games? I actually really don't, they're just not very fun to me. Like some are okay, but I'm not having a great time. Way back when when Girt and I were just friends and he'd visit occasionally, we had a routine of generally playing board games, and honestly I don't miss that lmfao. I do enjoy Battleship though, and that's one we'd play a good amount.
Are there any movies you are wanting to see? THE FUCKING BARBIE MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😭 ugh no one wants to go with me and it sucks SO hard, I am absofuckinglutely seeing it when it comes to televisions, though.
Do you feel uncomfortable when people you hardly know confide in you? Honestly not at all, I'm very open to anyone confiding in me if they feel safe to; you never know if that person has really been holding shit in, and they see something in you they haven't in others.
What’s something you’re proud of yourself for? Coming as far as I have in healing my legs.
Have you ever gone over 3 months without shaving/waxing your legs? It's been like... three years, dude. I keep them covered always though, just because of societal expectations; my hair is extremely dark and anyone getting even a glimpse of them mortifies me. I stopped as my body got so unhealthy that shaving them became so exhausting and challenging that I just. Couldn't keep up with maintaining them. I want laser hair removal on my legs one day.
Have you ever swam in a saltwater pool? Yes, the pool for physical therapy was saltwater.
Do you think anyone has given up on you? At least three people, probably more.
Have you ever been pregnant? No.
Have you taken anyone’s virginity? Obviously not, given an earlier question.
Have you ever made your boy/girlfriend choose between you and someone else? No.
Do you remember when some of the Walmarts had a McDonald’s in them? Well yes, our local one has exactly that.
What is one recipe that you would like to learn how to make? This upcoming Thanksgiving, I want Mom to teach me how to make the fresh bread she did last year; it was the best bread I'd ever tasted in my entire fucking life and I want to know it for my own future. I need to learn way, way more basic cooking, though...
Do you believe that Jesus will come back in your lifetime? He never is.
Were you afraid of heights as a child? No, but I am as an adult.
Have you ever had a lead role in a play? No. Well, I super faintly remember being Mary in a Sunday school thing, but it was just an in-class little thing. Gotta love teaching little girls about a mystically impregnated virgin pre-teen.
Do you have a chandelier in your home? No.
Are you a Jeffree Star fan? Or no? Yes, he's a public figure that to me has exhibited more growth than any other human I've been exposed to. There are behaviors I disagree with, but no person is all white or all black when it comes to being a moral or bad person.
Do you own a guitar? Specify. Which brand of guitar do you own? I no longer do; I had an electric guitar from a brand I can't recall (nothing impressive, very basic), but I sold it to a parts shop when I was trying to scrounge up money to afford my newest tattoo.
Are you a monogamous person? Or do you hate commitment? I personally am, but I have no problem with polygamous individuals, so long as they're open about this with their partners.
Who was the last person who was rude to you? My mom; a few days ago, something she did/said made me cry for a while.
Have you ever met someone in person that you first met online? Sara, yes. There are a number of other long-time online friends I want to physically meet one day.
Who do you know who is dyslexic? I feel like I remember hearing that my niece Aubree is? She's autistic and I at LEAST know Mom has said she exhibits traits of it.
Is weed legal in your state? No, NC is behind in the times in MANY regards.
What is something that you used to be ashamed of, but now you’re not? As a child, I became very embarrassed by my obsession with Pokemon because I was a girl and it was "weird;" it's because of this I never asked my mom for games and I never wanted anyone to see me explore the Pokemon website. As an adult though, I'm totally open about my love for the franchise, I know partially BECAUSE it's so loved nowadays. Even as a pre-k kid, my embarrassment reaction was SO insanely strong and I never, ever wanted people to see me as a weird girl. I still carry that behavior today, just with different stuff.
Have you ever held a newborn baby? Yes, when my youngest niece was born. I was seated though, I was way too scared to hold her otherwise.
Out of all your usernames for websites, which one is your favorite? Do you use it for more than one site? Ozzkat, it's the classic and what I use for the majority of places.
Have you ever spent the whole day (or multiple days) just looking up one thing on the internet (e.g., videos of your favorite band, how-to videos, quizzes, etc.)? hi i hyperfixate and do this shit regularly
Have you ever been in a situation where you had to be around your ex everyday? No. Well I mean, when Sara and I were still in contact, daily RP posts normally happened, but that was just a website.
Which condiment (ketchup, mustard, etc.) do you use the most of? Probably ketchup. It's funny, I hated ketchup as a kid.
Would you ever flirt with somebody in front of your parents? With my significant other, yes, so long as it wasn't too suggestive, 'cuz then it's just weird.
Have your parents ever questioned your virginity? I know my mom has. Dad probably assumes I'm not, but idk, I certainly don't talk about this with him.
How many of your friends play World of Warcraft? I have no idea; I have friends I know through the game, so obviously them, but I'm not sure if I have any "in my real life" friends who currently play. I know numerous people who have.
Is there a certain song you like to headbang to? No; surprisingly, headbanging has never been and probably never will be my thing. I don't like headaches.
Is there a garage or carport attached to your house? No.

Hace poco descubrí tu blog y quisiera conocer más sobre la dinámica entre Sabine, Ariadna y Naomi, (o sea, cómo se llevan las tres y cómo son sus interacciones). Y si no es pedir demasiado, ¿tienes algunos otros OCs femeninos que aún no hayas dado a conocer? ¡Me moriría por conocerlos!
Perdón por preguntar esto en español 🙏🏻, y perdón si estoy preguntando algo que quizás ya hayas respondido 🙏🏻.
Translation: I recently found your blog and I would like to know more about the dynamic between Sabine, Ariadna and Naomi (like how they get along and their interactions). And I'd it isn’t too much to ask, do you have other female OCs that you haven't shared? I would like to met them! Sorry to ask in Spanish 🙏🏻 and sorry to ask something you might have answered already before 🙏🏻
Mun Ari: Never apologize to ask anything at all! I enjoy to answer any ask, even if I did before (which isn't the case for this though). I apologize if it took me some time to answer, but between college, I like to dedicate the time and effort to answer 😊
In terms of relationship, we'll have to specify in which AU we are referring not just for Sabine and Ari, but for Naomi as well :0
Sabine and Naomi: in general, and as I said in Naomi's headcanons, they know each other for a long time (since they were children). As their respective clans heiresses, they had to interact at a very young age. But taking the obligation of mutual respect for diplomatic reasons: they stand rather that like each other. They have a strong personality and since they are both in the same level of power both as demons and in terms of politics/status, they tend to crash quite often. Sabine is more the problem here, but with a reason. Sabine is constantly in "survival mode" and therefore is rude and mean 90% of the time. Her life is constantly threatened by any of her half siblings to steal her position as heiress, so in that terms her life is hard. When she encountered Naomi, she encountered a strong girl who wouldn't take anybody's trash. She would stand firm and tell her to back down and wouldn't bend to her. Sabine didn't like that and the fact that she believes Naomi's life is easier not having competition for her position. Naomi, on the other hand only sees Sabine as a nuisance and as a spoiled brat (which Sabine also is though). As they grew up, their relationship didn't improve and the problem "grew" with their different perspectives of humans and ghouls. Naomi loves humans AND fell in love with a ghoul, while Sabine finds all this repulsive and unbelievable. Tense is how could it be described. Now, in the 💔AU this gets even worst when Sabine and Kino hurt Ari, who Naomi's sees like a little sister, and humiliated her in front of everyone. Naomi was willing to stand by Ari's side and even start war if they had dared to hurt her even more if it wasn’t for Ari's intervention. In another variation within the same AU, Naomi was convinced by Ari to join her in her revange against Kino since it benefited Ari, the ghouls and even the Eagle clan. So yeah, depends the AU.
Tumblr media
Sabine & Ari: again, depend the AU. In the normal timeline, they bearly interact with one another. They met once Ari officially became the ghouls clan leader (aka once married Kino) and it wasn't a good first meeting. For instance, Sabine looked down on both due to their clan and then specifically Ari for being a human. Even after Ari made the transition to vampire, she still looked down on her for her human origin and being an impure vampire. Ari treats her with cold respect and is polite, but won't stand her attitude and if the situation requires it Ari will put her limits. Kino does have to back Ari up once in a while though (both as her partner and will use force when needed). Now, regarding the 💔AU, Ari met Sabine when she was Kino's girlfriend and in the worst circumstance possible: when Kino told her about his infidelity and how he had chose Sabine over her. Ari was devastated and she did got angry at Sabine (although Ari DID blame both for the infidelity). Ari gathered her courage and dignity to attend their wedding, but in return she was humiliated and hurt even deeper by Sabine. Yet, still loving Kino, convinced Naomi to lend her support to them as the eagle heiress and not to do anything reckless for Yuri's sake as well. Then in a variation within the 💔AU, Ari got to HATE both Sabine AND Kino. She planned her revange for 7 years to bring not just both of them but the Vibora clan as well down. She was able to manipulate Naomi, Shin, ghouls and the vampire clan as well, sold her body, freedom and humanity willingly in order to make all this happen. Ari won, but at what cost? So, yeah... not so good in general (?.

Naomi & Ari: Naomi first had a little misunderstanding. Yuri had caught Naomi's attention and she thought Yuri was the ghouls leader, so when she knew Ari was the leader as well felt jealous. Once it was cleared up, she started interacting more with Ari and got to adore her. Naomi sees Ari as the little sister she always wanted and Naomi reminds Ari of her of Akane (her real older sister). They both spend as much time as they can together and Ari feels protected whenever she's with Naomi since she stands against Kino for her sake. Naomi appreciates and loves Ari's kindness, empathy and honesty over all, while Ari likes Naomi’s soft and protective side that she only shows to her. In the 💔AUs Naomi protects, defends and helps in everything Ari and is like what I already explained previously. Naomi didn't approved many of Ari's actions, but respected them. They did drift slightly away after the whole revange thing once it was settled though.

Now! Regarding other OCs, the answer is: I do~!
I mean, I do have other OCs for other fandoms. However, withing the DL universe I have 3.
Two belong to my fanfic "Under This damn Contract": Amelie Wolfgang 🐺 & Natalie 🧹. Amelie is in my history the only daughter and heiress of the Wolf clan. Natalie is the personal maid and soon lady of company of Ariadna in UTDC AU.

The last OC is an old known of yours: Arino's first biological daughter, but second child Victoria. I'm still debating on her hairstyle, but this is officially her appearance. I went along with what they said that the first daughter is the little version of the father, so that's why Vicky looks like the feminine version of Kino jijiji. Not that it matters since she’s daddy's girl and they say you copy some aspects of that of whom you spend more time with lol.

Mun Ari: And that is all! Thank you for asking! *Manhwas I used for illustrative motives: Actually, I was the real one, There's no place for the fake princess, Do your best to regret (novel), Father, I don't want to this marriage! and Your ultimate love rival.

So, I'm writing a story and I'm struggling a little with a part of it.
It takes place in an AU where Those Who Slither in the Dark perform a ritual to summon a Tyrant, the ritual was interrupted by Byleth and Jeralt before the story of the game begins, but still managed to summon another character i named Aura.
Aura is very physically strong but seems to lack weapon experience, and she's there when the house leaders get saved by Byleth, and I was hoping to ask you for your opinion/help on how the house leaders and maybe their advisors would react to this, admittedly, mysterious girl and maybe get some advice from you on interactions that could happen between them.
More information on Aura is that she doesn't know the language of Fodlan, and is very quiet because of it, but is slowly learning through the tutoring of Byleth and Jeralt, this becomes evident by her speaking broken sentences and having an accent that no one can place.
I ask you because I've seen you give quality advice on Fire Emblem for a while and I've come to respect your opinion enough to give your input serious thought.
Alright since I LOVE this idea I thought of possible interactions with most of the characters cuz I LOVE to think of possible interactions! If you want me to add with everyone I left out let me know! I know some of the interactions get repetitive but I still think I didn't do half bad job here :p
Since this will be long after lords and "Retainers" I'll put the rest under the cut!
Claude: Aura is a walking mystery thus it's enough to get Claude interested. The language barrier would be difficult to get through but he would try to find a way to communicate. He'd try to help her learning, but he also respected the fact that she won't be willing to talk on a spot. So while he was friendly towards her and did really wanted to just get to know her, his intentions might seem sketchy if he says them out loud.
Hilda: She's rather excited to befriend Aura although she senses a little bit of danger, she still finds her cute and would love for her to speak more so she tries to motivate her to do just that. A fragile flower like her could use a strong friend like Aura too, Hilda could help her practice with weapons but it'd be mostly just so Aura could repay her that favor.
Dimitri: He's really friendly towards her although he makes sure to remain cautious untill she proves him that she can be trusted, he wouldn't try to get too close but he's still friendly all the same even when he found out her origins. After all she shouldn't be the one to answer for crimes of those who brought her to life. So actually after finding out her story he grew to be ever so slightly protective of her worrying that she might face discrimination should anyone else find out about this.
Dedue: To protect his highness he makes sure to keep an eye on her. Although the reasons are different neither of them talk to each other a lot. However, since Dimitri doesn't want her to feel like she's unwelcome here, he tries to not scare her off but due to his looks it's not always a success.
Edelgard: Unlike Hubert (who I will get to shortly) she's more trusting. She figures that Aura would be a great ally for plenty of reasons. Of course she doesn't see her just for tactical reasons, she's genuinely interested in her. She is pretty insistent on her joining the black eagle house.
Hubert: He's the most suspicious about her. Both because he was aware of the ritual and simply because he didn't trust Byleth and Jeralt either. It was all to look after Edelgard of course. In the end he's still grateful to Aura and Byleth for saving Edelgard. Also unlike Dedue he'd intimidate Aura on purpose.
Leonie: She thought that Aura not talking much was her being rude, granted she did correct her attitude when she found out why was actually going on. After that she tried to help her adjust or just teach her some general skills, but because of that start she didn't feel too comfortable around Aura. Especially since she was also jealous over how much time she gets to spend with Jeralt!
Raphael: He's impressed by her strength, so naturally he wants to know the secret behind it. He often ask her about it or just ask her to train with him or eat together, he just wants to be her good buddy. And since she has troubles with the language he'd try to find different ways to communicate. He'd actually ask everyone around how do you communicate without words and he tried every single method with her until it worked.
Lorenz: He doesn't bother talking to her, it's mainly because of the language barrier but he wouldn't ignore her should she be the one to approach him. He'd try to give her unnecessary advice but the second talking to her starts leading to nowhere he bids her farewell. Normally he'd have their conversations last no longer than 5 minutes, since he's just not interested.
Lysithea: She's also one of the people who try to help Aura understand the language. Not only that, she also helps her along with Cyril with reading and writing. While she still rathers to keep their lessons separated, it's just not often possible considering how busy Lysithea is. She's strict but also kind and makes sure to praise her progress.
Sylvain: As we already know what sort of interest Sylvain has to most girls, here it's a different matter. Of course he's still flirty as ever but he's more friendly towards her if you can believe it. A mysterious beauty such as herself won't go unnoticed but at the same time he understands that she's in rather awkward situation, considering she doesn't know literally anyone. He also likes to take her out to town with an excuse that he just wants to show her around or to make sure she doesn't get lost.
Mercedes: She acts like she's a big sister to Aura. While sure the fact that she can't speak that well can be troublesome, Mercie just feels like she understands her either way. She's often worried about Aura and often checks up on her too. It kinda feels weird to Mercedes since she feels like she failed Emile as his sister and now she's suddenly making such a good job with Aura. It makes her feel guilty but she doesn't stop her behavior either way.
Ashe: He wants to trust her and let her know that she can count on him whenever she'd need it. He tries to help in his own ways but he doesn't really know how to talk to her or to communicate that he wants to help. But whenever she had a duty assigned he'd be around to help.
Annette: At first she was pretty intimidated by Aura. She felt so dumb for judging her at first but her impression of Aura didn't even last a full day actually. When she heard Aura speak her opinion of her changed immediately but she didn't try to befriend her right away. They started spending more time after Aura helped Annette carry some heavy boxes and she just wanted to repay the favor and it just ended up in a circle where they would often find themselves near each other.
Ferdinand: He's not too insistent on Aura spending her time with him but he is rather interested in her as a person. So he'd seek some form of excuses to see her from time to time. It's really hard for him to talk to her but it wouldn't be Ferdinand von Aegir if he didn't accept a challenge!
Petra: As someone who also has her problems with the language of Fodlan she finds Aura relatable. They often speak to one another in order to fix each other's mistakes. She also is glad to help her with welding weapons although she isn't a master at it either.
Caspar: After witnessing her strength just like Raphael he became interested in her. You could say that he's giving a bad influence and you wouldn't be entirely wrong. He'd often confuse Aura but he'd be rather friendly with her, although he wouldn't be too considerate but it's not fully intentional.
Dorothea: She really likes Aura, she was awfully friendly and often would share her thoughts on who she should trust for sure. She finds her broken language quite charming in it's own way but she's really excited when Aura makes progress. Although her accent completely disappearing would be a shame...
Cyril: He isn't focused on her but as Lysithea helps both him and Aura he does spend some extra time with her he normally wouldn't. Their conversations aren't really lively but he doesn't hold back any thoughts he has of her. He does find her suspicious but he isn't anyhow rude, just brutally honest whenever he finds something she's doing as weird.
Flayn: She likes to stop Aura for a little chat every once and then. She finds her speech pattern to be quite interesting so she was wondering about her origins, but she didn't ask direct questions yet.
Seteth: If she joins as a student then he's less suspicious of her but should she have any other role he'd proceed with caution just like with Byleth. As Aura begins to befriend Flayn he's trying to find out more about her, for Flayn's sake of course. But he doesn't actively antagonize her.
Manuela: She is rather worried about Aura. Poor girl must be terrified to suddenly be put in a situation like this. So Manuela made sure that she can come by and talk to her whenever she'll need to. She understands her quite well even though Aura struggles with the language. To be honest Manuela is impressed on how quickly Aura adapted to everything, but it doesn't cancel her offer to be her support.

23, 28, 39 for voski and/or loveless!
thank you sophie!! <3
23. What is their role in the party? Not just their class on a meta level, but among the individuals who make up your party?
this one is very interesting to me because i think everyone in the party's roles are so in fluctuation right now, with the fact that none of them have ever extensively traveled with a group before and also thi's death weighing over them that i don't know if either or any of them really know how they fit together. voski and loveless especially have just started to kind of show their true colors to the group, not that they were bluffing before: loveless is charming and kind and voski is stoic and quiet -- they've both dropped some walls recently, loveless dad/curse reveal showing that his reckless nature is much more calculated than he typically lets on & voski sorcerer reveal opening her up to a lot more playful interaction with their peers than they intended now that the party knows her biggest secret. it's hard to decide where they actually sit, but here is what they feel right now about their roles:
loveless is a protector, was a public servant for 20+ years determined to do good with their position until the scheming behind the scenes broke him of it, but it doesn't mean the drive isn't there, it's just changed focus. he also desperately wants to get the party to count their blessings while they still can. these dots weren't definitively connected in our post-session debrief, but it isn't a coincidence that loveless just now decided that he will be visiting his daughter when they go to secha, after thi's death. he will do everything in his power to make sure what happened to thi doesn't happen again.
voski is emotionally not in the position to go on the defensive like loveless is. what she feels she is or wants to be most of all in the party right now is a friend. they did not get nearly all the time that they wanted with thi. she didn't get to tell them everything that they wanted to when they knew each other. thi carried with them what voski felt as a brutal hope. there is no option but success, and slowly they want to pick that sentiment up where they can. she wants to know these people like she wasn't able to know thi, and more than anything they want to be able to trust them through everything they're about to go through together. so, she's starting to try and make connections even though it kind of scares the hell out of them <3
28. If they could change their class(es), would they? To what?
ooooh i don't think either of these are actual practical desires to shift classes, but more like, what they would've been in their ideal scenario/what i would pick for them if i had to change it
there is 100% a reality of incredibly different circumstances where loveless was allowed to remain a shut-in bookworm as a kid, probably the one where their mom left the eleventh house behind, and in a world that might be kinder about magic i think he would have been very content as a wizard. his magic in all forms is imbued with such a sense of spite, the curse from an angel's perceived hubris that was really born from compassion and care and love, a reverance and respect of humanity, and training as a bard to reconnect with themself outside of ehas as well as engaging in a practice (magic in general) they know very well that his family and enemies in ehas would abhor -- juxtaposed with a world where he didn't buy into the bokori game and was able to engage with magic on their own through more diligent study, picking and choosing aspects versus the emotive chaotic engagement they have with the hand they have actually been dealt [subclass thoughts based on vibes: abjuration or order of the scribes]
for voski, and there's a bit of projection here, i think there is a deep desire to have the same comfort her mother gets from her worship and religion. they respect the gods. she takes part in pieces of the rituals they remember and can replicate along the road, but there is also a distance and deep difference voski can't begin the describe between her and her mother's faith that they are still very much parsing but ultimately have not found their peace or method of navigating the gods in ehas. i think this struggle and journey is personally very compelling and i can't wait to see where it goes in the campaign, but i think voski would very much enjoy being a cleric with a sense of something secure in connection to the divine that they have a difficult time accessing within themself. [subclass thoughts based on vibes: nature or twilight]
39. If someone could tell them anything about the future they asked, would they want to know? Would they ask?
loveless would want to desperately, but they genuinely do not trust anyone in the universe to stay predictable enough for the information to remain reliable even a second after he is told what he wants to know. it would be a waste of time and even worse maybe give them false hope. he wouldn't ask.
voski would. and she would know it's a bad idea, but for a chance at hope, or at least knowing how bad the bad gets, they're too married to the desire and illusion of taking control to pass up a chance like that.

I generally like your Carlisle, but I think your Esme so blend. I find it curious because of the amount of time you spend thinking about Carlisle, your Esme only seems like someone that reacts to him, not someone that exists beyond him. As an independent person. Even your Edward is more fleshed out than your Esme. She doesn't feel like she has a personality. (She's better than S. Meyer's Esme, but still). Do you find her difficult to write?
An astute observation, anon!
Carlisle and Edward are the two characters I find most central to the stories within the saga I find compelling--it's shouldn't be too surprising that you'll often either find me writing their relationship as father/son/best friends or taking a slash AU approach. And that also means I've had a lot of practice writing them--both from inside their heads and from the POV of others observing them.
Esme I have less practice at, and really only stepped into when I started jotting down random one-shots on tumblr and discovered they were for some reason all coming from a 3rd-person Esme POV. It seems she loves Carlisle as much as I do, despite his extraordinarily obvious faults, which makes her a really fun character to be in the head of. But it also means I'm striking off in a new POV, and usually when I do that I throw out a lot of writing before I'm happy with it. (Case in point--I wrote about 50,000 words in order to produce the 15,000 words of Alice POV that make up Present Perfect.) One reason I decided to play with Cien Años is because it gives me an opportunity to get to know Esme a bit better, and also to let myself post things that are a little rougher as I get a handle for who I think she is.
And yes, I find her very difficult to write.
I don't agree with the assessment that Esme is a doormat or a creepy stepford wife. But canonically she does very obviously live first for Carlisle, and second, for her children. That is super different than most of the other characters in the saga, and doing that without making her seem like a void is hard, especially in the construct of a fic in which the chapters are designed to put both C and Es together in moments which show the inner workings of their relationship as it evolves and has evolved.
When Esme balances Carlisle, it’s subtle. It’s not in big, melodramatic fights. When she’s doing something it is usually for him, or while she’s thinking about him. If she’s with him, her attention is on him. It doesn’t mean she never thinks about other things, but when she’s alone with Carlisle he’s her focus. So that unto itself is always going to make her seem a bit...milquetoast? Her focus is generally pretty singular and I think that's right for her character.
But she's not unidimensional. In order to really bring out Esme as I think she might be, I need to set her against a character who is not Carlisle, which I've done in a handful of places. But that doesn't work for this current WIP, in which I've set my task as making each short about the two of them together.
That being said, I have a handful of times when I feel like I nailed expressing how I see her character even while she is with Carlisle. One is in chapter 7 of IIG, when she laughs at Carlisle being all melodramatic about having broken up the family. Even though she's mad at him for being a workaholic, she isn't mad mad at him, and her happy personality and unwillingness to take Carlisle's moping seriously inject exactly the balance I think she holds in their relationship.
Another time I think I did a good job writing the character I see was in the immediately previous chapter of CA:
She winced but said nothing. “Did I hear your father mention this injury was a fall out of a tree?” She grunted disapprovingly. “Storm last week took out a branch and I forgot. Stepped on air.” His smile came unbidden. “Air isn’t very supportive.” “So it seems.”
This to me, captured the right level of impetuousness, a little bit of disregard for authority, and the ability to bring Carlisle out of his shell that I feel are the hallmarks of her character. So I'm constantly trying to figure out the right way to bring that out in interactions which don't necessarily demand a direct challenge to Carlisle.
At any rate, this question spurred me to use these moments when I was happy with the way I drew her character to make a pretty substantial revision to the zero/tumblr draft of the next chapter of CA, "Scars." In the first go at it, I uncovered the idea that Esme was gently calling Carlisle out on his denial of his own trauma. (Honestly, I was pretty shocked when Esme thought of Carlisle as having been murdered, which is not something I've ever put into words before.) In draft two, I brought that out by putting that sentiment in dialogue instead of in prose. And in draft three, I made it the central problem of the short, rearranging a lot of the prose so that it's more centrally about that, and about who has control, and of what. It's kind of a fascinating peek at revision, to be honest! This "nah, discovered something more useful, so going to go back in and rewrite 50% of this and rearrange the rest of it" kind of revision is pretty common for me, but usually only my beta readers get to see it happen, so it's kind of fun to put it out here all linked. I think I'm getting closer to the Esme in my head, but I leave that for my readers to judge.

Does your Guardian have any casual wear?(Y'all remember Polyvore? The website URSTYLE works very similar if that helps!):
Tumblr media
What hobbies and/or skills does you Guardian have: Writing and reciting poetry, learning languages (speaks English, Ulurent, Eliksni all fluently), fighting, crafting armor, singing

Did your Guardian get reborn with, or find, any indication of their past life? If so what do they have/found: Magnus has no indication of his past life, and knows nothing about it.

How did your Guardian get their name(if they didn’t rez with past life momentos): He knew/remembered it, and also Einar addressed him by “Magnus” when he was first revived and woke up.
Going back to your Guardian’s lore book, what would be some some quotes or passages from their book: Two passages are actually readable at my Ao3, dawnbreakerdystopia! Most of the lorebook passages would recount the tales of Magnus’s efforts to join the warring species of the galaxy together in unity, and would likely use the Hammer of Sol which he wields as a metaphor, leading those who read them to wonder if Magnus actually wielded it (he does). The passages would also recount the daring exploits he’s done to protect his friends, family, the training he put Ghaul through to be a strong and independent Guardian, and overall they’d just be written like poetic legends.
Does your Guardian have a significant other: Cayde-6, and they’re married.
Did your Guardian go explore first before going to The Last City? If so, where to: Magnus never explored until he was resurrected.
What was their reaction to first seeing The Last City: This place needs defenders.
Is your Guardian a part of a clan: Not officially. He’s sort of a part of every group regardless of whether he chooses to be or not. Life finds a way to drag him into them all.
Does your Guardian’s clan have a back story? If so, what is it?(if you want to or able to share): N/A
If your Guardian would have a quote as a flavor text for a weapon and/or piece of armor, what would they be: “I’ve got a thousand years on me, and for each year, a million lives. I can’t bear to sacrifice any one but my own.”
If your Guardian has had any interactions with any civilians (The Last City/The Farm), Eliksni, Cabal, Vex, Hive, Taken, Scorn, Rouge Lightbearers, or Iron Lords/War Lords(if your Guardian is an Old Light) tell us about it!: Magnus has unified Cabal and Humankind, mostly, because he was brought by the Traveler to Ghaul who was resurrected as a Guardian himself. He’s had plenty of rough encounters with them, but nowadays, they accept him as their Evocate General, and bend to his every command (Magnus NEVER abuses this). Magnus has had very few positive interactions with Hive, as Savathun and Oryx have constantly tried to seduce him with Darkness and ruin him. He struggles to trust Hive, but knows that there is good in everything just as there is bad, nothing is inherently evil, and thus, he has to and does accept Hive who are willing to be his allies. Magnus’s interactions with Eliksni have always been positive, and he’s always gotten along with them. Scorn and Vex, he has yet to meet any who’d be willing to work with him. Magnus personally hates the Vex entirely, but still holds out the belief that there is at least one out there who’s good and friendly.
Does your Guardian have any unconventional allies or connections(By Vanguard standards): PLENTY!!!! Ghaul, Spider, being Evocate General of Cabal, you name it.
How does your Guardian feel about themselves or others using Stasis: Magnus is against himself using it. He understands that others can make use of the power, but he HATES the Darkness, and would never trust a single thing from it, let alone a “gift” which would inevitably corrupt him, not to mention bring him nearer to it which he refuses to do.
Did they run The Last Wish raid? How did they react to seeing a live Ahamkara a.k.a Riven: Magnus has not run this raid yet.
Did they run The Deep Stone Crypt raid? How did they react to the Crypt and seeing Exo Eliskni: Magnus has not run this raid yet, either.
Is your Guardian from D1? How did they react to seeing Taniks alive once again: He’s not from D1
Where did they go and what did they do during The Red War: Magnus followed the main story, and was the only Lightbearer, thus he spearheaded the entire operation and literally held the fate of every single life on his shoulders and his alone. He fought, nonstop, and never gave up or slowed down.
Here are some characters that are either polarizing or have created a strong enough mass emotion within the community. What opinion does your Guardian hold on each of them(These are only a handful of characters!)>>>
Osiris, First Warlock Vanguard, originally exiled: Magnus looks up to Osiris for his wisdom, only a little, though, and he’d never tell Osiris this. Both of them know it, though, and words are not necessary to convey their mutual respect.
Eris Morn, Bane of the Swarm: He loves her, he wants to help her at all costs, and he knows to never pity Eris, or try protecting her without asking if she needs protection first, as she’s highly capable and strong-willed.
Cayde-6, Sixth Hunter Vanguard: Magnus is fucking head over HEELS for him, and would lay his life on the line for Cayde. He was devastated beyond words when Uldren killed him, but came to understand that it was the Darkness’s doing, not Uldren’s. And thus, he forgave him.
Ikora Rey, Second Warlock Vanguard: Mom. She’s just straight-up his mom.
Commander Zavala, Second Titan Vanguard: Mentor, dad-like friend, always reliable.
Saint-14, legendary Titan, First Titan Vanguard: Extreme respect, love, honors him deeply, aspires to be like him, MUST PROTECT!!!
Lord Saladin, Iron Banner handler, One of the last remaining Iron Lords: Indifferent. Magnus entirely disagrees with and somewhat hates what the Iron Lords did, but he senses good in Saladin and sees it as well. He holds onto that good, as he does for everything and everyone.
Lord Shaxx, Crucible handler, Hero of Twilight Gap, living megaphone: FRIEND!!! Always a good motivator, always reliable, selfless af which Magnus respects, and Magnus aspires to be so much like him. Is also slightly intimidated by Shaxx.
The Crow, New Light, Ex-Enforcer to The Spider: Friend, must be protected, is a new person and not Uldren, is capable of great things and must be guided to do just that. Magnus sees Crow follows his heart, and that’s more than enough for him to know this man is on the right path.
The Spider, The Shore’s Only Law, founder of “House” Spider: DAD!!! Spider adopted Magnus after (reluctantly at first) he went to Spider with a bounty from the Vanguard saying to kill him. Magnus knew this had to be a setup, it was, and Spider was immediately thankful, and then began calling Magnus his son. Both of them trust each other with everything and anything, and Magnus knows Spider is a good man at heart.
Uldren Sov, Prince of the Reef, Master of Crows: No. Don’t trust him, he’s misguided as FUCK!
Mara Sov, Queen of the Reef, Queen of the Awoken, Ex-Kell of Wolves: FUCK! YOU!!! Magnus would throw her off the throne and take it himself if he wasn’t so busy being Evocate General. He’d imprison her until her natural death. The things Mara has done, to the Awoken, the galaxy, and her brother, are unforgiveable, and she MUST pay for that.
Variks, the Loyal, founder of House Judgement: A friend, an ally, someone Magnus can rely on. He values Variks, even if he made mistakes in the past, but Magnus is a firm believer in destiny, and thus thinks Variks’s actions have been done for a reason which is to bring the world to the present it’s at.
Mithrax, the Forsaken, Kell of Light, founder of House Light: Absolutely reliable, always a good friend, Magnus will drop everything and go help protect Mithrax or aid him in his endeavors if he’s able. Magnus loves him as a close friend, and is deeply bound to House Light.
The Exo Stranger/Elizabeth “Elsie” Bray, Granddaughter of Clovis I and Sister to Ana Bray: Can be trusted, must be trusted, and Magnus also takes pity on her for what she went through both in the future, and by the hands of Clovis Bray.
Eramis, of House Salvation, Kell of Darkness: FUCK NOPE, don’t trust, avoid at all costs.
Empress Caiatl of the Cabal Imperial Empire: An ally and definitely trustable. Her motives are questionable, but Magnus understands where she’s coming from, and therefore believes she can be a great companion with some compromise.
Taniks the Scarred, the Perfected, the Abomination, the Shadow Thief: Nooooooooooooo get away get away get away GET AWAY!!!
The Darkness is fast approaching. How is your Guardian handling it: A N X I E T Y! !! !!!! ! !! But Magnus is taking action, fighting it head-on and never backing down for even a moment. He refuses to let the Darkness take hold, and aims to destroy it entirely once and for all.
And finally, does your Guardian have any advice for any New Lights: “The Darkness is a lie, but the Light is true. Nobody can see in the shadows of night, so it’s your duty as a Guardian to eclipse the world in endless sun, and create a world everyone can see within and beyond.”

First threat.
A/N: I randomly hit a writer’s block this week and this is the best I could come out with, but i think I have the rest kind of figured out.🍓
/ Previous parts
Tumblr media
The morning after, you woke up still in his arms, smiling and nuzzling closer to him, never wanting him to leave. When he woke up, he felt your fingers caressing his chest and he smiled sleepily. “Good morning, mi vida”, he wrapped an arm around you and brought you on top of him. You huffed in surprise and laughed when his hands found your almost bare ass. “Wasn’t last night enough?”, you joked, pecking his lips. He hummed. “It’s not that, it’s just that now I’ll never get enough of you and your wonderful body”. How could his voice be so sensual even when he just woke up? You had no chance but give in. After a round two in the shower, you and Angel ate breakfast before parting ways to go to work, not leaving without a goodbye kiss.
Angel arrived at the scrapyard, dressed in the same clothes from the night before (which you had washed and dried them overnight), Coco whistled and him and snickered. “Nice clothes. Got something to tell me, Angelito?”, he pushed his arm and Angel shook his head, but smiled nonetheless. “I spent the night with my girl”.
Coco grinned at him as they started working on a bike, “So… you smashed it?”. Angel threw a bolt at his best friend, a small smile on his lips still, thinking about last night. “We made love”, he corrected him, just as Gilly was coming up behind them. “Woah, what am I hearing? ‘Made love’? It’s too early in the morning for this shit, hermano”, they all laughed and Angel shook his head slowly. He was completely smitten.
“I assume you’ll be bringing her around?”, Bishop had a smile on his face, but his voice was serious and Angel straightened up. “Yeah, just… don’t know when”, he shrugged. “I’m sure we’ll find some excuse to party, right boys?”. Bishop’s words were followed by hollers in agreement from all the boys at the scrapyard. “Bring her over, she’s welcome”, Angel nodded and thanked el Presidente. Would they be welcome in her mind once she knew about what they really did?
A couple days later, El Padrino happened to come visit and stopped by the clubhouse, Angel made a beeline for him just as he got out of Templo. “Puedo hablar con usted?” Can I talk with you?, Angel was fidgeting and Alvarez nodded, sitting down with the Mayan. “Que pasa” What is it, he answered, noting the uneasiness in the man in front of him. “I have a girlfriend and I still haven’t introduced her to the club. I’m afraid she won’t… accept me. She doesn’t know what I- what we really do”. Alvarez nodded, “You’ll have to explain it carefully, one bit at a time. Eso no es fácil” It’s not easy, he paused and lit his cigarette, “And if she doesn’t accept it, you just let her go, Angel”. He swallowed and nodded, the thought of having to leave you was already too much for him, tears pricking at the corners of his eyes. “Gracias”. “De nada”. They shook hands and El Padrino left, leaving Angel alone with his thoughts, again.

Angel told you about the party the same day, he was so cool about it, too. “Angel, you cannot tell me two hours earlier! I need to plan these things!”, you were rummaging thought your wardrobe while he sat on the bed, unbothered. “That’s exactly why I didn’t tell ya, mi amor, you’re obsessing over something stupid”. “Meeting your friends is not something stupid, baby, fuck-”. “Just throw on something, it’s gonna be fine”, he smiled as he came over to where you were standing, kissing your cheek.
When you arrived at the clubhouse, you looked at yourself in the mirror of the car to check if everything was in place. He slid an arm around you and turned you to face him. “You’re perfect, mi amor”, he kissed you tenderly and you made your way inside, Angel greeting people left and right. You barely made it past the door of the clubhouse when suddenly the Santo Padre charter was all around you, introducing themselves and asking questions about you, about what you did. Conversation flowed easily, especially with the younger members, EZ in particular, as he and Angel kept making fun of each other.
“Tell him I’m not that messy, querida”, he looked at you and you chuckled. “I mean – you started – it could be better, but it’s not that bad”. “Looks like we’re making progress”, his brother chuckled. Angel was sitting beside you, an arm over your shoulders as he watched you interact with his brothers. You got up and excused yourself to go to the bathroom. “Someone is whipped”, Gilly said, and Coco nodded “Look at those heart eyes! Get a grip, hermano”. Everyone was laughing around him but he couldn’t take his eyes off you. His answer was a soft “Yeah, I am”, and a broad smile.
In the bathroom, you were washing your hands when a girl got in, you smiled politely as you began to dry your them. “You’re Angel’s new girl, right?”. You turned to her and gave her another smile, “Yeah, nice to meet you”. she barely let you finish your sentence as she spoke again, “I hope you know you’re nothing special, everyone’s fucked him. He won’t stick around for long”, she replied casually. Your face fell at her words and you just stood there, speechless that a stranger would have the nerve to say these things, and if it was true or not, you didn’t care at the moment. She noticed your expression and smirked, “Just tryna save ya some embarrassment, honey”. And with that, she left, you followed after her, making a mental note to talk to Angel about this.
The night went on, you and Angels’ friends played pools, he played some beer pong, you laughed and had fun, but the girl’s words were still in the back of your mind. You went around to greet everyone before heading out and Angel was so proud as he watched you get along with all his brothers. Bishop gave him a pat on the shoulder adn a nod of approval, Angel grinning widely as he led you out of the place.
When he dropped you off, you invited him inside to talk. “I really don’t want to look like the girl who wants to tell you what to do – you started, and his eyes immediately were on your face, a concerned expression on his own, not knowing where this was going – but I’d appreciate your previous relationships staying out of our own”, you sat down in front of him at the table, where he was drinking a glass of water. “What does that even mean?”, he furrowed his brows and shook his head.
“This girl, in the bathroom, said, and I quote, ‘You’re nothing special, everyone has fucked him, he won’t stay long’. I don’t care what or who you did before me, and since it’s obvious we like each other, all I wanna know is if you want something serious with me or not. I don’t wanna waste time, mine or yours”, your voice was calm, collected, and his face fell once you were done talking. You hadn’t defined your relationship, not officially anyway, but he thought that by now you knew you were his, and his only. He got up and made you sit on the table, settling himself between your legs, clasping both your hands and holding them to his chest. “I waited a month to make love to you, I waited for you, if I just wanted sex, I’d have already left, mi dulce. You are my girl and-”, he paused, taking your hand in his, “and I’m not good at expressing what I feel, but I care a lot about you. And I’ll do everything I can to prove it to you”.
You smiled and put a hand on the back of his neck, bringing your lips together in a slow and sensual kiss. “I just wanted to be sure, Angel, you don’t have to prove anything. I see it in everything you do for me”, you whispered, your eyes closed as you peppered kisses on his collarbone and he rested his hands on your thighs, gripping the flesh and bringing you towards him. “I’d love to stay here and have a replay of last night, but I gotta head home”, he nibbled at your lower lip and you sighed. “Call me?”, he nodded and smiled at you, pecking your forehead and removing himself from you. Making his way to the door, you followed him and closed the door after kissing him goodnight.
/
The days went by and you and Angel passed the three-month mark in your relationship, Angel’s secret slipping to the back of his mind, figuring that he’d tell you when the time was right, but he soon discovered that “the right time” was his bullshit excuse to avoid the consequences, again.
When he finished his shift, he unlocked his phone, finding dozens of texts from you and lots of missed calls. Immediately worried, he didn’t even look at his brothers, getting on his bike and speeding to your house. He entered you home all sweaty, both from the sun outside and from having just finished work, and if you weren’t scared as hell, you would’ve asked him to take you right there and then.
“What’s wrong, mi dulce?”, you were petrified, crying, you couldn’t talk, you could just point at what was on your table. His eyes followed the direction of your finger: on the table were multiple pictures, some of you and him, some of him and his brothers while- oh. While moving drugs. There was a note next to them. ‘We’re watching you’. Simple and, judging by your current state, effective. “Angel, what the fuck is all this?”, you looked at him, how could he be so unaffected by all of this? How could he be so calm? Why wasn’t he freaking out that someone had followed you? He looked at you, then back at the pictures.
“You should sit down for this”, was his only answer.
