GILMORE GIRLS 2.10 | The Bracebridge Dinner

[googleitlol]

Basically how the confession is going to go in my opinion:

Wukong : I have feelings for you.

Dove: Why? What's wrong with you? Are you sure you're okay?

This sums it up pretty well 😭

Girl is checking his temperature looking for signs of a fever, rlly thinking this man is delirious. She’ll even try using her gift to bring him back to his normal self but he loves how gentle she is when using her gift— hell, just her presence as she uses it is intoxicating and all she’s done is give him more reason to tell her about how he feels and what she does to him��

Dove, with the back of her hand to his forehead: “I know you run warm but you don’t usually feel this hot!”

Wukong, with stars in his eyes as he feels her calming presence wash over him: “I’m not sick but please don’t stop. I’ve never been more in love.”

Then he reaches up to hold the hand on his head and guides it over to hold the side of his face. He leans into her hand and Dove gets hit with ALL the confusing feelings all at once cuz why??? What’s happening?? Why would he be saying this— why would he be DOING this??? And FUCK he keeps staring into her soul with those pretty eyes of his but NO he can’t be thinking straight right now—

referring to people with mental illnesses as like “healed” in later life is not something i fw because it just sounds like thinly veiled ableism and a very big disconnect to understanding how people with mental illnesses function and can function later in life even if they have a difficulty doing so in earlier stages of life (:

I realized I never actually talked about the tweaked omegaverse setting I’ve been thinking about! It’s something I might use for a spinoff of a modern Euplerian au cuz I think it could be neat uvu

In this setting the secondary genders are more fluid, able to change depending on the eupie’s pack hierarchy. Everyone is born beta but can become alpha or omega, and even revert back to beta to later become something else based on their life circumstances.

Two individual can become alphas if they decide to start a family together, making them an alpha pair able to have offspring. A beta can slowly shift to alpha should their pack view and treat them as their leader, instinctually becoming the new alpha. A beta can also force control over a group of other betas to create a forceful shift to become an alpha.

However, should the alpha lose their pack or family there’s a high chance their secondary gender will revert back to beta since they’re no longer the leader of a group.

Omegas work similarly but on the opposite spectrum. Instead of being the leader at the top of the hierarchy, they’re the jester at the bottom. Low betas are often corned into becoming omegas, often due to stressed-out packs taking out most of their frustrations, verbally and/or physically, on one single packmate. An omega's role is to destress their pack, usually by being playful and submissive towards the pack betas to help them have fun and relax. It is however very common for them to turn into the betas’ punching bag and many omegas will have scars from past aggressions. 

In more well-adjusted packs omegas aren’t always needed, but a beta can still slowly shift to an omega if many of their packmates come to them to talk, play, or to relax. While it’s an alpha’s role to lead, it’s an omega's role to entertain and many betas from peaceful packs look forward to spending time with their omega.

Similar to alphas omegas will often revert back to betas should they lose their pack. But in the case of betas who wear scars that signify their past pack role as an omega, they’re very often thrown back into the same position and become omegas again if a new pack takes them. Marked omegas are also often undesirable as mates, as even if they were to start a family and become an alpha people would still view them as an omega due to their scars.

FFXIVWrite Day twenty-two: Fulsome

“Great job today Babycorn!”  Babycorn turned around and smiled at Royse , “T-Thanks…!” She grabbed her hat by the brim and lowered it down to hide her eyes. The stage fright was just hitting her now. She had really gone out there again and performed her heart out again.  Despite everything.  But it was all worth it in the end. Because at the end of all her shows she was finally given her payment.  A big bag of candy!!!!!!!!!!!!

“How’s it looking out there Cherry?” 

Cherry looked left, then he looked right. Making sure that no one was paying attention to him and to an extent, his sister. “All good!” He echoed. Cherrypit had probably heard someone say that phrase before along with giving a thumbs up. 

Though his back was still turned to his sister in order to keep watch for any surprise intruders. 

The siblings were currently in a dark, far off corner of Ul’dah. Babycorn knew that nobody hardly ever came around here. Of all people, she would know, it was one of the places that she and Cherrypit used to hide in whenever they got tired of running and their makeshift home was too far away to walk to. 

Any signs that they had once hid here were long gone but the memories still remained. 

“Great! Just have to figure out how this stupid WoAH-!” There was a crashing sound just behind Cherrypit. 

“Bebe?!” Cherrypit remained facing away. The safety of his sister was top priority, which meant he still had to keep an eye out for anyone that dared sneak up on them. “You kay’?” Of course he could have always turned around and looked to see if Babycorn was okay but Cherrypit was still a little baby, so he didn’t really think about that. 

Babycorn stuck her leg in the air and wiggled it around. “Got it!” She had managed to get one of her boots on! Now she just had to get the other one on too and she had to do it fast because her show would be starting any second now. 

Normally stage fright would be tearing her apart even just thinking about performing in front of so many people looking just at her but there was something about performing specifically in Ul’dah that made her excited. Whatever it was, Babycorn was glad she wasn’t throwing up in a bucket in nervousness right now.

“Okay!” She picked up her hat and placed it on her pom. The mask on her face was just a little too tight. At some point she would have to ask Martyn if there was a bigger mask he could give her or something. 

Babycorn tapped the top of Cherrypit’s head to let him know that he didn’t need to stand guard anymore. 

“Bebe!” Cherrypit raised his arms up and cheered. “Did good?” He asked, pointing at himself.

“Yeah! You did great, Cherry! Thanks!” 

Cherrypit clapped his hands together and laughed. “Great! Great!” 

Babycorn took a few practice steps in her new boots and did a twirl. “How does it look? Does it look okay?” Though she didn’t have any stage fright at the moment she was still nervous that the outfit she had chosen herself wouldn’t look good on her. 

“Okay!” Cherrypit cheered. He was wearing a fancy little suit with matching colors to her. The hats they were both wearing were the same too. They were so much the same that sometimes Babycorn wore his by mistake and only realized the mix-up when the hat started squeezing her head too much. 

“Awesome! We look great!” 

“Great! Great!” 

Babycorn picked up her wand she had left leaning on the wall and pointed it up. “Let’s get going then!” She was bursting with an overconfidence that was more befitting to how she used to act when she was younger and had no idea what horrors awaited her outside the tasks of beating up primals. 

The truth was that nowadays Babycorn was much the opposite. She did not believe in herself one bit, when it should have been the other way around. Surely saving the entire world more than once, twice, should have given her enough confidence to laugh in the face of any threat. 

Not really.

Cherrypit picked up his mask and oversized lollipop from the ground, “Mah!Mah!” He shook his mask over to Babycorn. She grabbed it from him as Cherrypit stuck the lollipop back into his mouth and somewhere a million miles away Lunya yelled in despair. “Okie dokie Cherry, hold still for me okay?” Babycorn asked, gently placing the mask on her brother’s face.

As always, Cherrypit never stayed still for long.“Tickles!” Cherrypit laughed. He wiggled around and the mask ended up a little lopsided on his face. “It’s dark!” He noted. Then he adjusted the mask himself until he could see out of two of his eyes. 

“Ta-da!” Cherrypit struck a pose! He was truly incredible. The most talented totally normal two-year old out there.

Babycorn clapped her hands together. “Wow! Cherry the show hasn’t even started and you’re already killin’ it out there!” She paused, and while she thought to herself Cherrypit took it as his cue to climb on top of his sister’s hat. “...I think. I hope it hasn’t started yet.”

Royse would have her head if she was late to another show again. 

Which she understood now was something called a metaphor and not something to panic about and hide under the bed for. 

At least, she hoped so.

Back then when Babycorn had agreed to perform as a blue mage for a relatively small audience she had not known what the hell a contract was, let alone what signing meant. As such she had no idea what she was signing at the time, but she sure did sign something. 

Terms and services meant nothing for her and neither did being known as her stage name “Azuro the Second.” Was it confusing when they told her that was going to be her stage name from now on? A little. Babycorn assumed that it was her new name for a few hours and eventually asked if it was still okay to go by Babycorn still. 

In hindsight Babycorn was fine not being known by her name in front of strangers watching her. 

As Babycorn walked into the arena with Cherry the audience roared with applause. 

“Hiiiii!” Babycorn waved at the people all around her. While Cherrypit bounced up and down in excitement next to her. 

Sitting in the audience were a few familiar faces to Babycorn. Which didn’t really matter to her since she couldn’t tell who they were from the stage anyway. Most were already Babycorn admirers who had heard that she was now performing in shows in Ul’dah from a magazine or something. 

Had either Martyn or Royse known ahead of time of Babycorn’s weirdly prominent popularity they would have charged more for tickets sooner. 

A short vierafell sat next to his best friend, waving a pair of flags adorned with Babycorn’s face in the air. 

“Dude I think you’re going to break them if you keep waving them that hard.”

“YEAH WOO GO AZURO THE SECOND!!”

A row above the pair was an equally excitable miqo'te wearing a snazzy hat. He had bought the last of the Azuro the Second fans that had been on sale. He was so excited to talk about this show in the special Azuro the Second themed episode on his very popular podcast later. 

Babycorn noticed that her opponent wasn’t in the arena yet which usually meant that they wanted her to hype up the audience a little before the real show started. Babycorn bent down to whisper in Cherrypit’s ears, “You wanna do that trick with the ice this time?” She asked. 

They had a lot of variations of openers like these. Though the fire one was banned until further notice until they got more practice with it. On account of almost burning down the entire colosseum last week.

“Mhhmmm!!” Cherrypit nodded and let Babycorn run ahead and take the stage. 

Babycorn ran to the center of the arena and took the stage. She began to rise in the air, as a pair of wings appeared behind her back. They resemble those of the Fairy King, Titania. The crowd oooh’ed and aaah’ed as Babycorn rose to the highest point she was comfortable with.

From the ground Cherrypit took careful aim and began to cast his ice magic. “Frewee!” He yelled out, making a fairly large piece of ice appear in the air close to his sister. Then another, and another, and even another. 

Once Cherrypit had materialized enough ice, Babycorn made her move.

She began to descend but instead of making her way all the way to the ground, she bounced off one ice crystal, pushing it slightly in a different direction. Then she was off to another, doing the same thing. For one she landed right on top of it and spun in place before jumping to another, making sure to stomp the ice she had been on down. 

Eventually the ice crystals fell down to the ground and from where the audience could see they had all landed in the shapes of flowers. Then as Babycorn finally descended down, she landed on one of them. All at once the ice flowers burst, finally shaping themselves into an even larger flower. 

“Crest Roses!!” 

Thenl with the clap of Cherrypit’s hands-they all disappeared with only a few bright sparkles left behind. 

“Ta-da!” Cherrypit struck a pose alongside his sister. 

The audience erupted in applause. Flowers were already being thrown at Babycorn and the actual show hadn’t even started yet. At this rate Royse was seriously considering if she had to find opponents for Babycorn to fight at all. It would sure save money if she didn’t. 

Babycorn waved and winked at the audience, “Thank you! Thank you! Remember-! I love you all!!” 

Meanwhile, in the coliseums VIP section, Centella and Monita had been put in charge of sorting through Babycorn’s letters of admiration and gifts she had received just today. After seeing the sort of tricks that Babycorn pulled off it didn’t surprise Centella that she and Monita had been hired specifically to do this. 

“Dang.” Was this the same girl she had seen trip over a welcome mat just a few hours ago?

As Babycorn’s retainers it had fallen onto them to perform this most important of duties. That and, nobody else really wanted to do it. Centella didn’t really want to do it either but Babycorn had asked so nicely that she found it hard to say no. And Monita had nothing better to do. 

“Someone’s really gotta tell this girl that she needs to learn to say no to giving her address away. “ Centella mumbled to herself. In Babycorn’s defense most of these letters had been addressed to Azuro the Second’s address, which was the coliseum. 

But there were plenty that had Babycorn’s actual home address. 

All like, four of them.

Centella waved an envelope in front of her to fan herself. “At least we don’t have to read any of these.” All they were being paid to do was gather them and take them to the mansion where Babycorn lived. “I think I would go crazy if we had to do that!” While she did think it would be nice to receive so much attention she did feel sorry for Babycorn for having to deal with so many admirers. 

Centella noticed the lack of a response from Monita. 

“Monita.”

She stood up and noticed the lalafell chewing on a large wheel of cheese that was no doubt a gift for Babycorn. 

Without even a second to lose, Centella leapt at Monita and attempted to wrestle the entire cheese wheel out of Monita’s mouth.

“Spit it out!!! Quit it!!” 

“RAARgh!!”

Hot water bottles are the best btw. Hot water bottle my friend, my dearest companion.

[tropical-lazor-beams]

okay but honest to god the reason the king of town has taken the most notable dip in appearances outside of mocking his own character is because he was always a character with no decent relationships with others. i mean coach z had basically nothing to him outside of the accent & some sports things that didn’t last very long, but he’s got some relationships with marzipan & bubs that have given him room to stay. strong mad is & has been very similarly one-note to the kot but he’s got not only his relationship with sb & the cheat as a trio but his straightforward bond with the cheat on its own. they can appear together doing lots of things. meanwhile what has the kot got, the other members of the castle? if they had stuck with him being marzipan’s father that’d give him an excuse to have some kind of dynamic with her but as it stands he has got no relationship with a member of the main cast that isn’t just that other character’s default manner of interacting with someone else.

OKAY! So after a delay from a nasty as all getout sinus headache among other aches and pains, I've got the vast majority of my carrd updates DONE! <3 Of notable updates:

All FF7 verse info for Sera, as well as misc info for the experiment AU Frozen Flames, has moved to its own area! All info specific to FF7 verses can be found HERE from here on out!

There's been some edits to her 7 info and lore - Namely that the lore given by Chadley on the Phoenix summon in Junon is, ultimately, wrong. There were multiple phoenixes of varying elemental ties, not just fire, and Sera is the human form of one known as Aria, seeking to hide after aiding Shiva, her best friend and fellow goddess, while her brother Thoma is the actual fire phoenix, the summon that's collectable during Rebirth being only a fragment of his power left behind to guard that area. However, there is no way for anyone to prove Chadley's information wrong; Sera doesn't remember and neither does Thoma, and they will not ever remember. This is something that was added as a bit of background lore, and could be used with plotting - But Sera herself will not remember and be unable to say one way or another on any of it, especially with much history of the original phoenixes being lost by the time of Remake/Rebirth. Please note this is tied solely to my own version of Shiva written on @shinrarisen. Further notes regarding this lore edit are at the top of the FF7 misc section.

Sera also has a small sensitivity to mako and the lifesprings due to the previous point that's been added.

Her magic and spellcasting is stronger than most due to the fact her core is that of a phoenix, but it's only a small bit stronger - I.e. while someone else in SOLDIER might be able to create a 5 foot wide hunk of ice, Sera's might be 5 and a half and a fair bit denser; a small increase, but not one that's going to make that much of a difference.

The main carrd/info has gotten a HEAVY update that I feel like was long overdue, too, including the following:

The main info has been largely rewritten, and heavily tweaked where it's not been rewritten, mainly to bring Sera in line with her status as a fandomless/original OC. While she still has primary verses in Genshin, FF7, and Star Rail, Sera has always been fandomless and fully original at her core, and I wanted to return her to that. The reason she wasn't initially on this blog was because I had her verses split between two blogs and only meant for this one to serve as a hub for FF7 stuff rather than let it take over my other blog, but since she's been fully moved here and I'm not using my other blog right now, I wanted her to fall back in line with her roots as fandomless at her core. This is all overall primary info now that applies to all fandoms, while the other specific fandom based areas (FF7, Genshin) contain further verse specific additions on top of this.

A new mark has been added; regardless of verse, Sera now has multiple oddly-shaped blue marks across her upper back that resemble scars, and are called birthmarks for her entire life, but are in truth a physical tie to her core as a Fenix. More information on these marks and how they tie in can be found in this post.

So much more has been developed for Halcyon Era, and the carrd was horribly outdated in its info, so that, too, has been updated where nessecary, cementing her newer and expanded story as canon like it belongs. Just like above, though, please keep in mind that while there are subtle nods that Sera's not completely human, she doesn't know she's not. As far as she's concerned, she and Thoma are 100% human but have odd abilities they can't explain occasionally, like the ability to use magic they never speak of outside of incredibly trusted companions. Despite Aria sleeping inside Sera and Sera and Aria being the same person, Sera does not have, and will not gain, access to her full original power. More notes on this can be found in the carrd.

Sera having the ability to use a sword has been added, though this is a 'once in a blue moon' thing!

Updated her weaponry loadout to reflect her reliance on magic and archery.

Rewrote much of the 'Lifestyle' section and added to it, and completely rewrote the 'misc' section in full. Since these also better explain Sera as a Fenix, and the writeblr on it is coming up, also took the chance to remove the 'phoenix lore' section entirely.

Edited mentions of Thoma away from 'cousin' and in where he belongs as her older brother, because wow I should've done that ages ago!

There are mentions of the writeblr - The Halcyon Era sideblog that will have the full Halcyon project in far deeper detail - sprinkled throughout the main carrd, but I have yet to link it; @yoroiis and I are working around weather, health, and schedules to try and get it to a point where we can make it open for people to read as much as we possibly can, and it'll get its links just about everywhere as soon as we hit that point! It's gone through a ton of plotting and still has a lot more coming for it even after we open this sideblog of ours up, so that's next up on the list of tasks to do, for sure~!

Of course, these aren't the only edits I've been planning to do, I do still have tweaks to do to the Genshin side of things and small edits here and there to make, and it's not complete by a long shot, but these are the major ones I've been meaning to get to for a while. So much has evolved with Sera in recent months that I really wanted the updated, solid information down and public before I got back into the swing of things, and while it's not 100% complete, it's close enough for me to call done for now~! <3
