I think its hilarious that Snake is the (adoptive) mother of 50% of the clan lol
i find it just as funny too hehe, the entire clan is just one big family (so far)
but really it’s just Snake has always liked the idea of being a mom yknow? she likes kits! she’s a lot more mature than you might take her granted for and she is just an all around sweet, positive cat who always knows what to say to lift someone up. and she’s the youngest sister, so she’s pretty happy to have some responsibility when it comes to looking after another cat
(OMG lore bomb incoming 💥💥💥)
and I think she genuinely wants to give a cat a good early life… Not only did they leave the clan right after she was apprenticed, but she was born during the time when more complications raised with the weird eye problems Moththorn had and even though she tried to be a loving mom to her, she was very distant because at the time she was isolating herself from everyone. Snake loved her don’t get me wrong and she misses her every day, but like, it wasn’t easy for her. it’s possibly why she matured really quickly
she loves being a mama but like, Fallen was a HASSLE to raise—she was bitey and screamed all the time!!! Stone and Vine aren’t easy either! Vine is well behaved but he always wants to roughhouse with someone while Stone is very timid and has a tendency of hiding… and Snake has a twisted paw right now so it’s been hard managing them lately. my girl is TIRED but she’s 100x more patient than her sisters are when it comes with kits lol

The most random out-of-order Nimona headcanons I've scrambled out of my mind and put in my notes as coherent as I could bc there's a LOTTTT
• I don't think Nimona uses specific names to label her sexuality/gender. Was she in love with Gloreth? Maybe she was. Maybe she was not. Does she like boys? Who knows, she sure doesn't. What's her gender? Nimona. That's it
• I think Ballister did try to be the cis ally™ and figure out the label Nimona would use but she'd just shrug her shoulders and say "I don't know, boss, it seems like you care about it more than I do"
• And even though she's NOT a girl, she uses she/her pronouns because 💥YOUR PRONOUNS DON'T DEFINE YOUR GENDER💥 you may use she/her and not be a girl, he/him and not be a boy, I even saw cis people use they/them simply bc they're comfortable. And that's okay!
• Although she's comfortable with people calling her he/they/neopronouns you name it. Just. Not it/its. You know the reasons😬
• Nimona is left-handed and it's CANON actually I am SO HAPPY as a left-handed person she's just like me fr💥💥
• Nimona isn't a big fan of domestic bliss Ambrosius and Ballister spend most of their time in (plus they're very sappy and very much disgustingly in love, Nimona's stoic organism can't handle their mushiness for the dear life), she's like an independent cat I think: comes to hang out, eats, spends time with her father-not-really figures and goes away for weeks only to come back again. She travels the world my dudes✨
• I think she has a bunch of photos from the places she'd been to and talks about her adventures a lot!
• Nimona also is the best cook of the fam I'm afraid. Ballister cooks, like, the bare minimum to serve himself as a functioning adult (rice, salad, pasta, some meat like you know the deal) but nothing too complicated. Ambrosius is a nepo baby who's probably lived in palaces and mansions with dozens of servants do you really think he's good at cooking😭 as he distanced himself from the Institute and moved in with Bal I think he learnt to cook, still not great at it.
• Nimona though? SHE CAN DO *ANYTHING* like she's madly good at cooking. It might look like she's burning the kitchen down only to reveal that she was putting Gordon Ramsay to shame!
Speaking of BallBros
• Ballister's experience is close to a second gen immigrant. Ambrosius's experience is close to a third gen immigrant. They can't be immigrants bc of the context of the story?? I DON'T CARE☺
• Ambrosius doesn't speak his mother tongue except for like a few words or phrases he's heard at home. His older relatives probably make fun of him for it on family gatherings. His parents didn't teach him because they didn't want him to stick out (totally not self projecting here - yeah I'm a third gen immigrant hiii)
• Ballister tho? I think Urdu was his first language but he learned English along the way
• And it kinda mixes in his head so he forgets the words from both languages sometimes and replaces them with the word from the other one (HA my experience again)
• When he's experiencing hard emotions, be it anger, happiness, sadness, or is overwhelmed, he drops English entirely and just starts bantering in Urdu
• Ambrosius didn't know Ballister was bilingual but when he learnt it? He was amazed and I think... Kinda jealous because he didn't get to learn Korean himself (self projection yeahhhhhh)
• "You know your mother tongue? Damn! I wish I did too!"
• That said, Ballister has no idea how to shorten Ambrosius's name (WHAT THE HECK IS THIS NAME BRO WHAT ARE YOU, GOD'S FOOD???), so he sticks to Urdu endearments, "luv" (in the most British accent possible) and "darling"
People who say French/Spanish are the romantic languages are wrong LISTEN TO URDU OR INDIAN LANGUAGES OR ARABIC. THAT'S WHERE LOVE IS DUDE
• Ambrosius has learnt like a few words in Urdu and tries to rizz up Ballister by saying some basic words like "jaan", "mohabbat" and just😭😭😭 fails😭😭😭 because he's a cringefail man😭😭😭
I remember trying to ask out my (NOW EX😔) gf who's Italian by writing "will you be my girlfriend?" in Italian and I used GOOGLE TRANSLATION🧍♂️🧍♂️ SHE UNDERSTOOD THAT I USED GOOGLE AND POINTED IT OUT AS A JOKE BUT I CRINGED AT MYSELF SO HARD..... Ambrosius would totally do that too and Ballister would chuckle and pull him in a kiss bc he loves this cringefail man so much
• Ambrosius also serenades like I KNOW DAMN WELL HE DOES. He goes "this one's for you, Bal" with a wink and sings like the sappiest most disgusting love ballad ever and Ballister tries his best not to laugh because that's his beloved boyfriend but also like.... So cringe. So embarrassing😭😭 Nimona has more balls than her boss so she would outright say that it's cringe
• Also. I don't agree with people saying Ambrosius's a jock because have you seen this man?? He's a theatre kid. The worst kind of theatre kid. Even after not being a kid anymore he's still a theatre kid. BRO IS A HAMILTON FAN UNIRONICALLY, OF COURSE HE IS. He makes weirdass references to musicals and giggles like an idiot
• Can we agree that Ambrosius was an awakening for many teenagers because OOOOH BOY he sure would be mine. Some pop news youtube channel probably has a video of him reading the kingdom's equivalent of "thirst tweets", like yknow this type of vids😭😭
While we're on the topic of thirst tweets
• Diego the squire runs a fan page account with edits of Ballister like he's some pop celebrity
• He also may or may not write self-indulgent "Ballister x reader" fanfiction in his off duty time
• Also hc that when Ballister was on the run he saw some "WANTED" poster of him and hang up on the wall like yeah boy's crush is EMBARRASSING (can we blame him? I'm the same with Riz Ahmed)
• Todd would be on the "straight" side of their equivalent to TikTok. You know the ones with shirtless men with the same haircuts who think they're hot when in reality they're not?? That's what Todd and his friends are up to in their free time *throws up*
To wrap it all up NOT with Todd, some super random ones:
• Ballister and Ambrosius force Nimona to take her shoes off ("DO NOT bring your European nonsense in this ethnic household") in their house even though she doesn't even have boots on😭😭 it's just her skin😭😭😭 so she morphs her form to simply be shoeless😭😭😭😭
• Ambrosius knows how to tap dance. Idk don't question it I just think he does
• Nimona plays piano YEAH SHE DOES she's lived for 1000+ years man she can do anything
• Ballister's hair routine is "genetics, coconut oil n some prayers"
Yeah that's it I'll probably make a part 2 because it's not all... These characters have occupied my mind and won't let it go🧍♂️
#nimona#ballister boldheart#ambrosius goldenloin#ballister x ambrosius#thoddeus sureblade#diego the squire#nimona headcanons#i should make a part where i discuss social media of the realm because ITS SO FUN#let me know your thoughts#yeah#also i have school tomorrow and its 4am...#i should go to sleep

Hiiii Dana, hope you're doing so so well!! So sorry I took so long to comments on this chapter, life has been a whirlwind lately (a good one but I can barely catch up)
I read the chap a while ago but I was in a hurry so I barely remember what I wanted to say, I will sit down to reread calmly soon but for now, here are a few things I do kinda remember:
First off, I'm SO glad y/n and Tae's relationship is a bit better, even if they still have a long way to go to get back to how they were. I feel like their interaction sort off put both of their minds to a bit of ease (and I mean a TINI bit) and they both deserve to be at ease in the house so 🥳 BABY STEPS 🥳
Second off, I just love Joon more and more as each chapter goes on😭😭 Idk if anyone else is gonna agree but his character gives me the energy that a Divine Masculine is supposed to give and I just absolutely adore when he's in any scene. He's very clearly getting more comfortable around y/n and establishing his role in her life and we LOVE to see it🥹 All the kisses for him🥰
Also Jungkook is obviously still a bit of an ass most of the time, but can we appreciate how he's been gradually getting softer with y/n?? Like he doesn't bitch at her much anymore and if he does it's very clearly a jokey joke😊 Also his interaction with y/n when his antlers fell off had me CACKLING the ugliest cackle in my life
As much as I love that they were able to cleanse the house of the BITCHES spirits😒 I feel like it's a bit too good to be true?? Like it was wayyyy to easy for the threats they were posing...I'm so scared that they'll come back even stronger to haunt y/n and the boys personally
Like y/n, baby, let's upgrade those protection spells around the house PLEASE😭😵💫
JIN IS SUCH A SWEETIEEEEEE😭😭😭 HOUSE HUSBAND MATERIAL FRRRRR❤️🔥❤️🔥 The way he's so willing to educate y/n on anything with no judgment, no matter how taboo or uncomfortable the topic is😫😫😫😫 PLEASE I LOVE HIM😩
Now...
YOONGI😫YOONGI💦YOONGI🥹YOONGI❤️🔥YOONGI🤤YOONGI👩❤️💋👨YOONGI🥵YOONGI🤰YOONGIIIIIIII💒💍💥
JUST EVERYTHING ABOUT THAT MAN GOT ME PURRING AND CLAWING AT MY ENCLOSURE😭😭😭😭
AND HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH Y/N?!?!?!?! OMGGGGG HOLD ME DOWN AND SEDATE ME NOOOOW😫😫😫
Y/N LEARNING SONGS FOR HIM BROOOO YGMFU😭😭😭
AND WHEN HE OPENED UP ABOUT HIS PAST AND GOT SO SWEET SOFT AND EMOTIONAL THATS MY MAN😭😭😭
AND HIS REACTION IN THE RESTAURANT?! FUCK I CANNOT
MY SWEET ANGEL HOLY SHIT
AND THEN WHEN HE 👀🍆🍑💦?!?!
LIKE THE WAY HE
AND THEN HE
UUUUUGHHHHHHHHHHH
RAVAGE ME SIR
I NEED HIM AND ITS UNHEALTHY
🙂 All in all, loved this chapter so much!! I can't describe in words how fucking amazing your writing is; every chapter just encapsulates me and sends me into another dimension. This series is no doubt the best series I've ever read of BTS and possibly any other fandom. Just absolutely incredible, so much love for you!!❤️
-🍒
HELLO CHERRY!! I am finally answering your lovely review of Chapter Eighteen I'm very excited! I also hope you're doing well, I agree life has been so so so nuts lately (cold kicked my ass and it's hot as hell out!) BUT I digress! We do what we can!
AH okay so Tae and Y/N in chapter 18... they DID seem to take a tiny step forward but yes hard agree they have a little ways to go. Relationships are complicated and with the added bonus of all of the boys being hybrids, things get sticky LMAO. Most of them aren't used to humans treating them, well, like humans, so I think that's why hybrids such as Tae or Joon struggle with communication. That said, Y/N has all the time and patience in the world to work through the hiccups with them!
Joon BUG 😭 He really turned out to be sUCH a softie. Literally all bark minor bite. YES YES I so agree with him giving Divine Masculine vibes!!! He's very protective and comfortable being in a role of dominance, but not in a toxic way. I think he's grown to really really care for Y/N, especially since they have begun spending more time together during the investigations with Jeongguk. The fact that Y/N is interested in nurturing his interests and sharing them means a lot to Namjoon, I believe ❤️
Jeongguk the brat! I do love his comedic relief though. He might not be quite as soft as Namjoon quite yet, but he's getting closer to a Hoseok/Y/N vibe where they're besties. I like that he teases her and she teases him right back, whereas with Hoseok, Y/N is a bit more bashful with his teasing 👀 LMAOOO I love when his antlers fell off like Y/N was holding his face and he was like "this is just an average spring afternoon" 💀
Yessss I've seen others say that the cleansing might have been too easy or good to be true. We shall see if any of the spirits come back to follow the Dream Team around, but the three of them are getting to be a force to be reckoned with. They also have a lifetime of adventures together 😉
HNNNNGGGGH DON'T GET ME STARTED ON SEOKJIN. I am so incredibly down Bad for him. He's just so incredibly happy to have a safe home, where he can do whatever he likes, and explore new hobbies. That aside, he's fallen for Y/N so deeply 🥺 Considering she offers him a listening ear free of judgement, he does exactly the same. Yoonjin are both the BEST house husbands.... does that make Jimin the garage dad??? LMAO
MIN YOONGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII 🥰🥵💕💜 Bro is way 2 sexy. He knows how to hit all the right spots if you know what I'm saying.... oof and his way with words...... goot bye
His birthday might have been my favorite one to write, it was so personal for Yoongi/Y/N's relationship 😭 He realized how deeply she loves him, or was perhaps reminded of it, and he was all heart eyes the entire evening. Clearly, he trusts her so much now that he's willing to tell her everything about himself, even about painful memories (his mom's death). Their connection through music is very special. The whole thing was swoooooon AH when he kissed her in the restaurant 🥰🥰 THAT IS OUR MANNNN
AHHH I'm so so happy you loved that chapter it was a DOOZY! Thank you so much for reading, sending in an amazing review and all of your thoughts, and being so sweet and lovely to me all the time ❤️🥺 It means so much to me, Cherry! AHHH and you flatter me 😭😭 I just love that Trouvaille has brought us together and I love YOU! 🥰💕💕💕💕

OH YOU’RE ALSO TWO TRUCKS AHSJ OHHH
Anyways ask game >:))
Tell us a short(or long if ur hands can run hehe) summary of why u love walnut cookie :D 💥
AHH so many reasons..... ill try to keep it short as a challenge to see how short i can describe why her character is so appealing to me FHDSKJFHDSJF
LIKE. god shes so interesting to me. i think shes pretty relatable in that frustration of "they dont take me seriously because im a kid," and its sad but admittedly kind of cute at the same time how hard she tries to act mature. truly i think that she does want to be praised for her skill because she IS smart and she has a knack for solving mysteries and thinking outside of the box i think but at the same time i think she just genuinely wants to do good!!! She gets upset when the adults in her life are treating roguefort unfairly!!!!!!! She has a genuine care for criminals that we dont see from other characters like cappuccino and almond and langue!!!!!!!! She doesnt want to capture roguefort in the name of justice or something she has DEFENDED them multiple times!!! on top of that its so interesting seeing her complicated relationship with almond ... almond knows how skilled she is but refuses to acknowlege it and thus she just tries harder. she doesnt see that almond is trying to protect her she thinks that almond just doesnt think shes good enough AUGHH. on top of all of that its so silly watching her try to be polite and mature but still being an awkward little kid ASUDFHDSUF i love walnut sm you dont understand. her and rogueforts dynamic of walnut thinking of things in a very linear "one logical answer" way while roguefort is trying to get her to realize how muddy life is makes me crazy u dont understanddd. ok i could yap more but i shall stop here THANK U FOR THE ASK HEHEHE (and yes i am two-trucks HFSDKJFD)

HI NIKKI!!!! im here to join the game <33
🦷 Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're dreading to write (but is necessary to your plot)? Share a snippet or tell us about it!
💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!
👻 Is there a new genre you'd like to write?
hope these aren't too invasive to ruin a surprise hehe
HELLO MY LOVELY RICA! thank you for joining the game, I hope your day is going well so far! 😘
🦷 - in the new series I'm working on, the reader is going through a pretty harsh breakup and she has to explain her feelings about love when asked. obviously, she's heartbroken, so her thoughts on it are pretty skewed from her recent heartbreak. I'm not necessarily dreading it, but it does make me sad and emotional! here's a little snippet:
"Love is overrated," you say, staring out the window, avoiding his gaze. "Do you really mean that?" he asks, catching you in your lie. You sigh, watching the palm trees sway with the light breeze. "No, but it's complicated. Sometimes the end is worth it, sometimes it's not." You look at him this time, shrugging pathetically. "Love can hurt you just as much as it can heal you, and I'm learning that the hard way."
💥 - I'm very excited to write the first few chapters of my new nanami series (seriously I can't shut up about it sorry lol). here's a little snippet I wrote in my notes app LOL, not edited:
You step towards the stage to give the singer a tip. On your way back to the table, the older gentleman who was dancing earlier offers his hand, asking you to join him. You accept, giggling as he teaches you to rumba in rhythm to the music. He waves over at Nanami, still sat at the table. You subtly shake your head at him, letting him know he doesn't have to oblige this kind stranger. To your surprise, he stands up, walking to you with a small grin on his face. He watches, learning the steps himself, then takes your hands in his, gentle and soft to the touch. He follows your lead, one foot back as yours goes forward, the same on the other side. You're both focusing down, but as soon as you find yourselves in sync with one another, you look up at the same time, gazing into each other's eyes, smiling. And for just a split second, there's a spark that flares between you, radiating to every part of your body.
👻 - I would love to dabble in some fantasy! I don't think I'm skilled enough to create a fantasy world, but I might give it a shot one of these days :)
these aren't invasive at all, thank you so much for asking! obviously its hard for me to stfu so I love talking about this LOL

🎶 music and 💥💥💥 BANG!!
🎶 Do you listen to music while you write? What song have you been playing on loop lately?
Oh ABSOLUTELY I listen to music! I find it nearly impossible to write without it, tbh. I always look for instrumental or cinematic music when writing certain scenes. I sometimes even build ambiance tracks with sound effects and such if it calls for it. Fun fact: the Undertale soundtrack is irreversibly tied in with The Harvester's creation. Undertale came out the same month that TH was made, and a lot of characters, scenes, and chapters were made while listening to the OST.
Lately I've been listening to a LOT of Set It Off, almost exclusively. Set It Off is my 'Hema Spite Band' [or one of them] and pretty much 90% of the time will spawn some art of him for my warm-ups. I've been listening to Projector, Cordial, Lonely Dance, Why Worry, Criminal Minds, and Midnight Thoughts in particular on any given day.
---------------------------
💥 How do you feel about criticism?
So....... I have a mixed relationship with Criticism! And it completely hinges on a few things.
1: Did I ask for criticism? 2: What is the nature of the writing? Was it for-fun, or was I TRYING to make something with quality?
For The Harvester, the truth is... I don't like unsolicited critique because 1: I didn't ask for it, and 2: It's... just a roleplay. That's all it is. It's a silly story written between myself and my GF, first-draft, and we don't take it super seriously. It's for fun, and because we like the story and characters! So we don't ask for criticism because tbh, that's not where we want it.
But, for example, sometimes I post mini-stories and actually DO want critique on it. In those cases, I /ask/ for it. I want to seek improvement, and want to hear what I could do better.
I think my biggest problem with online criticism unfortunately, though, is that it often isn't offered in a constructive or healthy way. A criticism should offer both what the person thinks you did wrong, but also what they think you did /well./ That way they know what to build off of, and what to continue doing.
Also... writing criticism is particularly hard because it's much more subjective than, say, the anatomy on a drawing of a human. Every author is trying to achieve something different. One author may be trying to make social commentary, and they would want criticism on their writing to further meet their goal. One author may want to be as grammatically correct and concise as possible. One may want to make you uncomfortable. Another may want to make a steamy romance. Another author [me] may want to paint vivid animations into people's heads, and to take them on fantasy journeys with fun characters and at least vaguely-interesting plots that keep you guessing!
Each of these authors would need a different flavor of criticism. And they don't often overlap. For example, I rarely want criticism on my grammar, punctuation, or more technical things. I focus more on imagery, word choice, sensory stimulation, and making my writing as fun [but understandable] as possible! So it may be at a third-grade reading level, but is it fun??? If yes, then great! My writing structure may be a lil wonky, or a bit amateurish, but that's okay. I'm having fun, and Corrie [my GF] is having fun, and to us, that's all that matters. <3
So, criticism has its place... but it's complicated and subjective, and I don't like receiving it when it's not asked for.

Ask Game : ALL OF THEM !!!!!! Or, perhaps slightly more realistically, 💭 ! 👓! 🚀 ! 💥! and/or [INSERT PREFERENCE HERE] ! (they're all free choice, answer as many or as little as you like)
Hahaha yes that would be maybe A Lot (though I did have fun, these are good asks! I might answer more at some point!!)
I have already replied to some of them here!
💭 What inspires you and your writing?
I always found the "inspiration" questions to be really hard to answer, because I'm not always 100% sure what qualifies as inspiration to be honest? If I had to answer beyond the obvious (just living one's life, watching others live theirs, get involved with other people's art, learn cool facts about being alive and how we made it obtuse and complicated), I think my thing is to notice intersections, heighten them and push them in a direction that I can then observe? I think it's why I really like fan creation: there isn't the arbitrary part of making things up that could be literally anything, it's more about reckoning with particular feelings and exploring where they come from and what they mean. I think I create in a very... reactory way, if that makes sense? Which sounds awful put like that, but oh well!!!!
👓 What helps you focus when you write?
Two things!
Music and a drink of some kind (generally tea or coffee, but can be a nice cold something, or even alcohol in rare occasions)
NO INTERNET.
This second part is so crucial. As time goes by, I think I have a fairly decent amount of suspicion that I fall somewhere on the ADHD spectrum, and so the internet simply murders my ability to focus. I didn't use to be so bad, but two burnouts before hitting 25 years old will mess up a brain real good, and now I need my way out of the interwebs to do anything remotely productive.
I am so worried about the inevitable moment where my old phone dies and I *have* to get a smartphone.
🚀 Do you like to outline your fic first or create as you go?
It mostly depends on the story. If it's a short piece, I either don't outline or outline in extremely broad strokes.
When it comes to longer pieces, I do outline pretty extensively! I have developed a method that works extremely well for me and involves some sort of table that recaps what's going on in a given chapter, but also notes any crucial information we're supposed to learn regarding main character arcs, main plot and subplots. I only get to the table phase once I have a seriously good idea of what the story will be, which usually takes several notebooks to iron out.
Even then, the outline is pretty loose, and I know I will make adjustments while putting the actual words on the page --there's always something I forgot to take into account, or a narrative opportunity I didn't realize was there to begin with.
(also sometimes I forget what I put in my outline and remembers too late oops)
💥 What is one canon thing that you wish you could change?
Oh nooooooo this is so hard!!! And what is hard about it is to only pick one!!!
So I'm trying to pick the one that would have the most positive impact overall, and that reflects my arbitrary bias the least (it still will, but I'm not picking something like "more salarians", which for sure would be great for me but wouldn't do much to enhance the story as a whole)
So. I love Mass Effect 2, I really do. It's my favorite of the trilogy, mostly thanks to its bold narrative design that was pretty revolutionary at the time, and its cast of amazing characters. But... I think the main plot kind of makes very little sense, and its connection to the rest of the trilogy is tenuous at best.
The thing I would change is that instead of Collectors reaping out humans colonies to make a Super Human Reaper, which is pretty stupid, Collectors are still there (and maybe still kidnapping colonists why not), but they are used as an inside job inside the Terminus Systems to stirr trouble and mess things up between different factions, increasing tensions between Council Space and the Terminus Systems before the invasion strikes. We can keep the whole game pretty similar, except that the danger is less in humans disappearing (which... ok mary sues why is it always about you) and more in "we are eating our own instead of being united against the Reapers when they do arrive". We could get a great peak of who are these people opposing the Council and why, and get a sense of the "dark" side of the Milky Way --which I think was always the intention, though it got a little muddied-- and why it still deserves to be saved. We can keep everything: the suicide mission, us being allied with Cerberus and questionning the Alliance, the diverse perspective of all these suicidal outcasts... And!!! That would justify giving depth to batarians, I did it, I made batarians part of my change without making it seem as if the one thing I would change is to write batarians in a better way!!!
(my other pick for those who are curious would be to rework Priority: Thessia and make it less sexist. I really think just reworking this mission would make ME3 overall less weirdly bitter --though toning down the sexism in the entire game also works)
And I'm throwing a wildcard generated by a number generator for good measure:
🎁 Have a piece of a WIP you want to share?
That one's pretty easy! Here's a snippet from The Empire of Preys, from the perspective of the one and only, our favorite eugenist, racist and misandrist space frog: Dalatrass Linron!!!
(it's not edited, first draft, etc, thread with caution --also Dalatrass Linron's first name is Nemore)
Nemore ignored the alien’s brutish sturdiness to return the salarian his defiant gaze; a pastel shade that looked like a discreet blush, an unbecoming secret. He was young, his clothes baggy and practical and unkempt; used to run away from the local city watch, his angles sharpened by the toll of constant revolt, or the streets, or long-term overdose. She wondered whether his mother knew where he was, if she knew about the imprint that krogan claws left on his skin and how it was now overpowering the imprinting on her; whether these claws ever dug deep enough to soil her son’s blood.
She clenched her teeth. Her crusade had never been about saving everyone –especially not souls desperate to sink themselves back to lower cycles. The Salarian Union was a collective struggle, but collective didn’t imply all-encompassing. Nemore was well aware of the sacrifices left to make. All those wayward girls and motherless boys; tragically lost, incapable of being saved.
She wrenched her attention away from the nauseating pair, and back at the crowd chanting her name.
“They’re too close,” Nemore murmured to her security chief. “Get them away from my people.”
Thank you so much, those are really fun!
From this ask game!

🎨 wip ask game!
Ok. I will do this. I will. As soon as I can
6 days later:
IM HERE! I SHOULD BE DOING OTHER THINGS BUT IM HERE. Oh yeah and if you are likely to play D&D with me in real life please do not read. PLEASE.
🌍- Setting… hmmm… well we’re gonna talk about hollow tree because I need to regain motivation to work on it. The village they emerge in is very isolated. There used to be other places nearby, but they are completely abandoned. When the tree became active, most people fled the area and found another way of living, but the braver and more adventurous were, in many cases, forced to stay behind. Many generations have passed since then, so the people only know that there were inhabitants of those towns at some point in the past, and that they left because of the tree.
👑 - Rulers. When everyone left, the adventurer’s guild sort of.. took over in many ways. People turned to them for guidance, and the leaders of the guild now control most affairs of the town. This does mean that some abilities of trained rulers, such as monitoring production and keeping crime rates down were half-lost in the transition, and at this point, the leaders in the essential crafts are included in the ruling class, and the adventurer’s guild has lost some of its initial influence.
🏆- So, the end goal. This is kind of muddled because this is brainstorming for a D&D campaign but. The village is afraid of this tree because it leaks raw chaos magic (leaks may have been the wrong word but I’m keeping it now!). If the tree is left alone for too long, with no one traveling into it, monsters will emerge from the tree to attack the town, and occassionally, someone in the town will disappear into the tree during these attacks. Theoretically, the goal of the adventurers (in this case, Grian, Scar, and Gem) would be to stop these invasions and stop the seeping of chaos magic into the world by killing or destroying the source. This gets… a tad complicated.
⌛️- I’m honestly not quite sure what time period this takes place in. I think the realm in the tree is somewhat outside of time, and the village is advanced enough to have writing and whatnot. It’s probably sort of like medieval times, but… this isn’t Earth and everything developed differently
⛪️ - There are a couple of religions within the village. Although, it might be more accurate to call the majority of them cults. There is a dominant religion which I don’t think I’m going to go into too much, but it’s polytheistic and the clash of chaos and order is important. When the tree appeared, the group split, with most people believing that the attacks came as some sort of punishment from a god of death or something, but some people believing that the tree was a manifestation of some unknown and very powerful deity. The latter group devoted themselves to the tree and sought ways to appease it, rules shifting and changing when members were taken. The other group regarded the tree with fear, and most accepted its judgement as random, some seeking to pretend the tree was not there in the hopes that it would ignore them. Oddly enough, this didn’t not work.
Oh yeah and there’s also an underground cult for shits and giggles that worships the lane-oiling machine at a bowling alley. Idk if I will include this in the fic but it will be discoverable in the campaign.
💥- The conflict is definitely between the town/adventurers and the tree and it’s inhabitants. I don’t know what else to say about this. Words.
💣- The climax is triggered by two characters you haven’t met yet, who will be played by Etho and Joel. When they determine that Grian, Scar, and Gem have the abilities, they will lead the group deeper into the forest to find the creature who is causing all of this.
🤫- Big spoiler out of context? It’s just, like, some random old person. And they’ve been asleep the whole time.
🦋- This is hard. Because it’s a D&D campaign, the main characters can’t really have a lot of transformation- that’s determined by the players. The one NPC who I can say has a great deal of character development is Joel and Etho’s son. I can’t decide whether this is gonna be X, Mumbo, or Bdubs. We’ll see. He gets a little more fun at the end though. The other character who would have good development isn’t in the fic, soooo
🤒 - Is there a whump in the wip? See, this is even more difficult because I do plan on almost playing the campaign myself as I go through it. So yeah, someone might almost die or something. There will be stress. NPC friends might die depending on if we make friends with them. We’ll see!
🎧- Oddly enough, I do not have a playlist for this yet. So hold on while I think. It’ll be fast for you but not for me. This is taking a long time but I have one: Afraid of Quiet by Lydia the Bard and Ben Tomalin applies to the creature causing the chaos. Won’t Give Into Darkness by CK9C, but more Won’t Give Into Chaos technically. What words there are fit pretty well. OH! The Milk Carton by Madilyn Mei FITS SO WELL. That’s three. It took me like an hour 😅
🐱- The animals. So on the same side, the animals are fairly normal. They are far more susceptible to the chaos than fully conscious people, so they aren’t often kept as pets and animal farming and hunting is impacted significantly by the fact that animals occassionally go crazy and start attacking everything. On the chaos side, animals generally look rough, and the fauna consists mostly of monsters and of animals who went crazy or were taken during attacks.
🤝- Clearly the adventurers met when they entered the tree to play the newest Decked Out, and they meet shopkeepers as they explore the village. They meet Etho, Joel, and [undetermined]’s characters soon after entering back into the tree the first time. Most of the initial paths lead to their cottage. Perhaps I will write this bit sooner rather than later. I need to stop limiting myself to writing chronologically. As to how they meet the “antagonist” [undetermined] leads them to see it. I really don’t know whether they’re going to speak to each other or not.
🥀- Yea, I think I mentioned this earlier. Characters will die. No characters played by HC members will die, but likeable full-NPC characters will die. I’m not giving you any more specifics yet..
👀- piece of lore I really want to share? Etho and Joel play old gay grandfathers and Joel’s character has a violently blue fashion sense.
🕳️ - Plot holes. Uhhh… I’ll bet there are some but I am not far enough into the writing to have found any I don’t know how to patch up. 🌑 - Symbolism! I’d love to say I’d thought about that! There will be a creaky bridge! Simple things like darkness = danger, light generally being safe, but neon colors, which will often glow, are contradictory, also representing danger. I might try to use which plants are in an area to represent things. We’ll see.
🔮 - Magic system? Erm.. it’s D&D. So uh. Yes? Scar is going to be a wizard. I feel like I’ve already explains anything that might deviate from that base.
🎨 - OOOOHHH DARK GOOPY PURPLE AND VIBRANT GREEN. Also wood texture.
💡- Inspiration! So, the whole thing was actually inspired by a dream I had, which, oddly, I can still remember as vividly as it originally was months and months ago. Then I went, “Oh! D&D!” And then “Book for brainstorming!” And then “ooo what if fanfic?!” And that’s how this happened.
AND IM FINALLY DONE! Thanks for the ask Varteeny! Link to og post: https://www.tumblr.com/the-finch-address/688729684165459968/get-to-know-the-wip-ask-game?source=share

LET’S DO IT HAHAHAHAHA !!!
🐰- do you believe in soul mates?
Absolutly ! Not only romantic soul mates, I believe you’ll meet amongs your life some people and yours souls will found each other resonate so much you can’t help it but love them. They’re parts of you, after all, ya know ? I’m lucky I found my first one when I was only seven ;)
💌- diary or journal?
Neither one or the other. I don’t like it XD.
✨- which fictional character (book, show, or movie) do you relate to most?
I heard Maki’s laught in the background but Bakugo Katsuki, of course. I never saw a character that embodies so well my gremlin chaotic energie and god, the more i read the manga the more i am mortified, like I just see myself when I was a teenager throught his actions. Fucking angry pomeranian. Gifted child raised in such a competitive way, not allowed to express himself so he transform all his emotions in anger, cause that’s the only he can manage, prefer not to try rather than taking the risk of failing. If he’s not the number one then he’s nothing. Turning very aggressive if he feel excluded from his friend circle and cutting himself of those friend cause he can’t handle that feeling of being put aside. Yes, it’s a resume of most of my more important flaws and yes, I need a therapy XD.
💕- are you crushing on someone?
My partner, who’s also my best friend. 12 years since i’m crushing on them, i’m ridiculous.

I remember feeling so great, it was the first time I ever meet someone who I realy realy want to be with them, to spend time with them. To feel accepted too and not having to compromised or try to fit in XD. Anyway, my tiny brain associate that amazing discorvery of, well, SOUL MATE FRIEND, to the taste of pancake your father made us those day, with quince jelly. Somehow you are associated with quince jelly I think, and believe me that’s one of the best taste I have in my life. I already have three jar of quince jelly even I eat them slowlyXD.

Cornflower ! I just found them so pretty and cute ! And I always loved the big big wheat fields, gold in the summer lights, with those little dots of colors ! Absolutely amazing.

- I would wish for the univers to grant my partner a full magical transition
- More room for books cause I’m begining to put them on the floor T-T

☕- coffee or tea?
Tea or I will kill someone.

🍂- what’s your middle name?
Julie. I hate it XD.
💫- what is your sun, moon, and rising sign?
I'm not good in astrology but glad for me, Maki is XD :
Sun sign : Cancer
Moon sign : Aquarius
Rising sign : Capricorn
I have noooo idea what's all of that mean
🌧️- favorite thing to do on rainy days?
Wrapping myself in a plaid, with some hot tea, a good book in my hands and if i’m lucky, a good playlist.
🍭- how tall are you?

🎄- what is your favorite holiday?
Halloween. It’s a holiday for me XD.
🍦- what scented candle is your favorite?

🎶- favorite song right now?
youtube
What ? Good Taste ? Ho, mine are immaculate XD.
💘- 3 ways to win your heart?
- Humor, make me laught and I’m already conquered
- Food. FOOD. I shit you not, my mum taught my partner how to cook rougail when we were 15, and when we ended up together again, one of their first words as « official partner » were « ho, I need to practice my rougail cause otherwise i won’t be able to keep you » XD.
- Kindness. I always fall for small small thing but who contains the world : the way my ex always slide me their scarf in class cause they know how much I love their parfum. Ridiculous nickname, like one of my best friend calls me « Maurice » cause of the french ad, you know, « Tu pousses le bouchon un peu trop loin Maurice »XD. My other-ex who care so much about me he told me « If your mum don’t stop to harassing you, I do not give a shit, I took you out of this place and yes, that means paying two air-flight tickets I don’t care ».
🍩- current mood?
Happy. I wear my aegaho hoodie with a good tea, what can go wrong XD ?
❄️- what is your favorite season?
FAAAAALLL !!
💍- your current relationship status?
I have a partner, it’s been four years officialy… But we kinda been together for like… twelve years undercover ? We didn’t cheat on our previous partners, of course, we just knew at some point we will end up together again.
📷- a photo of yourself
That's one of my favorite picture of me. I adore the fact that I was dead laughing, with you, on our way to one of the best evening on my life (I could put that on the best memory as well XD). Absolutly a very good picture that could end in a album if I did one XD.
💅🏻- do you like being spoiled?
Yes. But meaningful thing only. I don’t like fancy, expensive stuff, like don’t waste money on me everXD. Every thing I cherish are just small thing but they do mean the WORLD to me : the book you gifted me on women-artist, the stunning shell that i adore, or the fact you accepted to read my novel, Maki’s little Bakugo plushie, my best friend’s amethyst that make her think of me, my friend who gifted me a shark kigurumi absolutly adorable (and he slided a bakugo’s note in the package that made me laught so much i hanged it on my wall).
🕊️- 3 habits you have?
- I eat the same breakfast since almost 17 years. The two only exception on my muesli-yogurt are croissant/pain au chocolat or english breakfast, once in a while. Otherwise, if i don’t have my breakfast, I tend to be a little more agressive throught the day XD.
- I can’t eat if I don’t have a book in my hand. It’s very problematic for my closest ones but I adore it XD
- I adore putting my cat’s ears in my mouth. Freyja is completly used to it, she doesn’t care, but Zeera my god, she hates it in a very passive-agressive way, so everytime I try, she moove like a snake trying to escape me XD.
🦄- how do you perceive yourself?
As a goblin, mostly XD.
🦋- how do you think others perceive you?
Mum friend. Sweet. Too dam loud and very bad player. A terror in Uno. Worst humor and loudest sneeze.
🌈- things I find attractive in girls/guys
HAHAHHAHA, WELL «girls with short hair, guys with long hair » OF COURSE XD !
Otherwise, I love laughts, body modifications, deep or cute voice, tall people (i love tall people, I adore tall people), passionate people. The kind of people you can talk until dawn with them.
🍓- one secret about yourself
… Me and my partner are saving some money to bought us a special-sex-couch. It’s a sofa and it’s gonna be called the socul (french pun XD)
🍒- how do you act when you have a crush?
Like a damn fool. Usualy, other people and specialy my friend, know WAY before me when I have a crush cause I tend to erase the world around me. I’m not subtle at all.
💔- the reason behind your last breakup?
I fall i love with someone else.
💬- what your last text message says?
« Gollumasha ? » It’s absolutly incomprehensible without context so : one of my best friend is working on a writting app for her internship and they asked her to test the damn thing. So she set-up a story that is absolutly chaosand puts me in it as « Lemon » (she legit describe me like that :)
(For non-french people : Lemon, 72 years old, Goblin. Enthousiast, always angry, scream for nothing, unbearable but we love her anyway)
She read me the first paragraph where Lemon was travelling and could, because of my « goblin nature », eat raw fish. So I reply with a gif of Gollum with the fish, she laught so hard she called me gollum and I mixed Gollum and Tasha… But we ended up not keeping it XD.
🎥- what show are you currently binging on?
I tend not to watch a lot of show, as I found them so time-consomming… But the last season of Grace and Frankie just got out and I wanna watch.
⛅- what is your morning routine?
- Go to the bathroom cause my bladder is suuuper small and catch up the 26 tiktok Maki send me during the 45min she’s up and not me. Proceed to be late XD.
- BREAKFAST while reading knowing I’m gonna be late cause I will read a little bit too much
- Being late so I rush the kiss to my partner, the dressed up plan, the cats, every oneXD
💗- who do you miss?
My friend… It’s been a while since i see you, for exemple XD.
🥀- last time you cried?
A week ago, I had my period and apparently my brain though that my partner telling me they love me was enough to cry ? My brain is stupid.
🎁- when is your birthday?
26 june, PRIDE MONTH baby
🔪- scariest/creepiest experience?
All my experience with predators. Kinda not soft isn’t it XD ? I’m sorry, it just human are the worst sometimes and they were the creepiest. Specialy the one who proceed to exhibisted himself in front of a 13 years old, fucking pedo.
💤- date someone younger, older, or same age as you?
It depends on the age gap, i think.. but I always date people born the same years… With a absolut win for my partner : they were born exactly a month before me, 26th may XD. Super easy to remember.
🎀- are we throwing an Halloween amitié-versaire or a pool-party amitié-versaire ?
FUCKING BOTH IT IS MANDATORY !!
Thank you so much for asking !! It took me a little time but it was sooo fun and lovely ^^ !! THANK YOU !

💥 Try to calm my muse during an overwhelming emotional moment (todd)
Explosive was the one way to describe Todd’s emotions. Joy, sadness, anger, grief –– it all came out in heated, unrestrained ways which he had no real tools to reign them in with. So often Todd felt like his emotions didn’t belong to him. They existed inside him but his ability to hold them steady or smooth them out seemed an impossible task. It’s only made worse when his mind diverts from its baseline.
His anger blends with fear and sadness, his heart racing as he tries to level himself out from the mounting lack of control that’s been building for a few days now. It hasn’t worked so far, and he knows he just needs to wait until it subsides, he knows he just has to wait until the clock strikes 10pm and he can take his meds. He knows this, but it’s so hard to rationalize when his head was splitting so violently.
He paces in his apartment, tears streaming down freckled cheeks, lips curled back into a snarl, making those blood shot and iridescent eyes squint against the intensity of his expression. His hands come up to press the heels of his palms against his temples, unsure how to explain the way he cannot seem to level himself out to her.
He feels foolish. He’s told her before about his bipolar, but he’s never explained what to do or how to act. He’s never told her how hard it was, how ugly it made him feel, how uneasy, how out of control.
“Just––– DON’T COME CLOSER!” Todd barks, raising his voice so loud it echos off the walls of the small place he calls his own. He doesn’t mean to, but he saw her take a step towards him and he cannot help the spike in worry. He backs up, tucking his arms around his body, fear and upset swirling in his eyes as he looks at her. He knows he won’t hurt her –– not physically, but he knows his tongue can be as sharp as the teeth that cage it. Even still, even knowing this, he keeps his hands busy, tucking them away so she cannot see the way they bundle into fists.
“I’m-sorry-I’m-sorry I ain’t mean ta yell I just don’t wantcha ta see me like this an’ I can’t get it right. Things are too fucked right now, ye should––ye should just come back later.” The words run into one another, blending and mixing as fast as they fly, tangling over accent and fear. His actions are no less restrained, rocking from foot to foot, backing up, taking a step forward every now and then before retreating once more. He shakes his head a few times, trying to stop the way there are things flying into his vision and whispering in his ears –– things that are there to him but not there to others.
“Ye should go. Ye should go, yeah, ye should go.” He nods, as if trying to assure himself that was what he wanted. How can he want her to stay and want her to go at the same time? It’s confusing, it’s frustrating. He growls to himself for his complicated thoughts that refuse to slow down. Shaking his head violently, snarling as he turns his body around and paces towards a wall, he raises a fist and he bounces on his toes. He shakes his head again, taking a step backwards with his back facing her as he stops himself from throwing the punch. He tucks his balled fists into his underarms and hunches his shoulders.
“I need to go. Ineedtogo; I should go, yeah, yeah, Ishouldgo.”
