#its currently uhhhhh

[coffee-loving-introvert]

My mind is filled with millions of thoughts but at the same time it feels as if im not actually thinking about anything, as if theres just a constant buzz of white noise that prevents any coherent thought from actually surfacing.

The moon looks pretty, But tonght as I again indulge in the lightheadedness that alcohol brings it stands before me as nothing but a hateful object that forces to the front of the mind fond memories that seem to overwrite every single moment of my existence.

I survived for 3 years. Somehow I did. But if I think about this time I am unable to draw up nothing but a blank. Every recollection only results in me beng faced with memories containing him, and that genuinely scares me. 3 years I have managed to power through the anguish but this time frame is nothing other than dates on a ppiece of paper. I lived this long and still am unable to find a single memory of this whole time as if I moved through life on auto pilot.

Have I actually survived then?

If I only remember times before and not a single thing from these past years, then what am I doing. Did I nit have a single good day, a pleasant lunch, a fleeting solace in the wind or an encounter worth remembering? If all my rememberance accounts to a chilling feeling in my arms and the heaviness in my bones, has there been a point in this struggle I put myself through for this multitude of days?

Ever since the day that I returned to a cold apartment, have I ever actually lived?

The moon looks pretty tonight, it really does. So much so that I cant bear to even blink lest I lose sight of it, and as naturally as breathing comes to one, the soles of my feet put the slightest bit of pressure on to the rough surface of the terrace floor.

The sight of the moon does not leave my eyes for even a moment. As my body slowly succumbs to the pull, my eyes stay glued, and for the first time in 3 years, it truly feels as if the buzz in my head has subsided. I embrace the evening chill, the fluttering in my ears, and the feeling of relief that slowly unfurled from my chest at the prospect of an unending silence, at the hope for an awaiting reunion, at the wait for a pain that will do wonders to help the feelings that seem to scratch at the inside of my body everytime that I woke up to the sound of my alarm, at the wait for an escape.

Every fibre of my being seems to be changing - waiting, moving, yearning or maybe screaming; looking for something to rip apart the walls with, or maybe searching for a key to bind something that threatens to escape. Every single part changes, every element cries.

Everything moves but one, that stays affixed.

The moon looks beautiful tonight, doesn’t it?

so i might be a shinsou enjoyer. maybe.

[justewil]

i should steal another pl character's name ...

[isaacathom]

the fun thing about having both my oc's character sheet and a relevant npc's character sheet is that i can look at them and go, hmn. yeah that npc couldnt kill me unless the stars aligned

cause at one point mariela wanted naielle dead. was fully out for blood. the only thing stopping her was/is the geas-esque effect imposed by their shared warlock patron.

removing the geas is necessary for making it remotely viable, because mariela flatly cannot do enough damage in a single instance to outpace geas, and the best way for her to stop naielle from killing her back would be hold person, which is almost guaranteed to drop if she's taking geas damage throughout.

so you have to remove the geas, which broadly supposes that naielle has voided her own pact and not marielas. so we already have a point of 'well, it has to go that way' and while thats not impossible at all, its not the only way things will go.

naielle HAS to be out of the pact entirely for this to remotely work, too, because mariela NEEDS to remove her radiant resistance. her only damaging spell in significant amounts is guiding bolt, which is useless against naielle as a celestial warlock. you NEED that resistance gone to stand a chance.

but even then - mariela's a warlock too. she can only do guiding bolt so many times. 3, in fact. 3 regulars wont do it. it MIGHT, but the room of error is so small.

the best way to do it, in my mind, would be to use slot one to hold person, and take advantage of the auto crit w/i 5ft to launch 2 guiding bolts straight to the dome. 32d6+8, bam.

except this requires naielle to fail, at minimum, 3 wisdom saves. if she succeeds on even one of them, you lose an autocrit and are now w/i 5ft of a woman who, while down her warlock spells, still has a sword and a dragon king in her pocket. you need her to fail every single wis save.

now, i dont know how you'd rule the proficiency bonus of a classless individual (since if naielle isnt a warlock... well... ?). it might depend on circumstance, when mariela tries this. if naielles not a warlock, there was talk that she'd be made a fighter for a few sessions before becoming a sorcerer (long story). if shes in either, then wisdom fails are entirely doable, since she'd only have a +2. if she's still using the proficiency from her being a warlock (ie if mariela tries this immediately after naielle stops being a warlock), then mariela is fucked.

its possible. but still, 3 failed wisdom saves. marielas dc is only, what, 17? naielle still has a like 75% ish chance to get one of them. and even one success immediately fucks the plan. its not impossible, but its not great.

now a depowered naielle is NOT capable of killing mariela, ignoring the fact that naielle is not particularly inclined to do so, even if mariela is literally murdering her. naielles stubborn. but if she gets a turn off, she'll have to ability to alert people. and at that point shits fucked. like to get this to work, and stay working, you gotta kill her and keep her dead for over a minute. good luck?

an option for that is to remove her from the jade sea entirely, aware from the crew, and maybe just merc her in the astral sea. thats one of your spell slots spent just getting her there, assuming she doesnt manage to succeed on the check to Not Be Grabbed? like eg if its plane shift (which mariela wouldnt have access to, but lets not quibble), an unwilling creature has to hit with a melee spell attack (admittedly not hard here, her ac is only 16, marielas got over 50% chance to hit), and then fail a charisma save. even if naielle is no longer proficient with cha saves, its her highest stat. its not a sure bet. also if you use plane shift like that she gets banished on her own, you dont go with her and continue the fight. so you'd have to finagle.

removing naielle from the primary source of her power (her warlock patron) and her defences (the crew) are basically both required. if shes on her own in the astral sea, well. but llso! dragon king in pocket! if you start really wailing on her, and shes alone, if she gets the slightest chance she's going to do something with that orb, and she wont be happy about it afterwards but it might just give her the means to escape.

a LOT has to go marielas way to kill naielle, is all im saying. you'd want to get her out of the pact, remove her from the fleet, and ideally separate her from both the dragon orb AND her mindflayer sword, which SHE CAN USE TO PLANE SHIFT. Even if you're not on a different plane in this fight, Naielle might panic and peace the fuck out. you'd have to chase her. thats another spell slot.

fully mariela couldnt kill naielle unless she had help. maybe using a summon spell could help, get a creature restraining her, things of this nature. you have to completely disarm her. and if you did, and she's alone, and theres noone to save her, you would be forced to just like. eldritch blast her down. it would be a pathetic fight. it wouldnt be satisfying. it would be slow and painful and it would linger if shes trying to escape, and if shes not, thats not fucking satisfying either. no way thats what mariela would want. she might even give up after a bit of that.

probably easier overall to just kidnap her or smth. dont stop anywhere, just take her back or smth. she can be executed no problem. but mariela doing it herself is just going to be a miserable affair for everyone involved, including her.

Hi ! Thank you so much anon, I'm glad you are enjoying it !

We are headed for a happy ending but I'm not going to say what it looks like sorry 😂 and they're not there yet. Really not.

[show-us-kaidenshenandoah]

sometimes, the impulsive thoughts win. and it is wild as hell that you can really get just about anything commissioned if you can find someone with the skillset and willingness to make it.. 👀

[taintandviolent]

So, I saw that you write Gambit, and I fell in LOVE with your style and portrayal. I also saw your smut list? Could I maybe request Gambit with a female S/O? I can't decide between 100, 117, 127, 144. So uh.... You pick? I'm honestly a sucker for first times/possessive/protective/ would burn the world down to protect troupes. If it's too much though, feel free to ignore me. I don't mean to bother you about my hyper fixation crush xD

warnings: smut (female receiving), fingering, remy being selfless and concerned with your pleasure only, uhhhhh I think that's it. I'm sorry my smut drabbles have been kinda mild lately, I haven't got the braincell during the work week lmao.

The sound of the world outside your window fades away as he touches you. Your back arches against the mattress, pushing your chest up into the air and as it does, Remy’s hands trail over your ample cleavage, admiring it as his fingertips ghost over the flesh, leaving a trail of goosebumps in its wake. 

Every ragged breath has your tits bouncing, jiggling underneath his touch, and Remy gobbles up the visual like it’s dinner. Everything he does seems to elicit lewd reactions from your body, actually – not that you’re complaining. At all. In fact, you’re just about blissed out with the way he’s touching you. A shiver erupts down your spine, shaking your entire body. He smiles a half-smile as he watches your reactions.

He has you whining at the attentive way his hands move over your body, tracing every inch of it like he’s trying to remember it in case he never gets to touch it again. One hand traces the curve of your stomach, while the other is slotted between your legs, fingering you masterfully. You swallow, laboriously lifting your head to look down at his hands. He’s been going at you for God knows how long, you’ve lost track. You can feel the outline of his erection on your leg, yet he oddly hasn’t insisted upon anything. 

“You feel so good… but…”  He looks at you with concern in his eyes, as if he’s suddenly realized that you’re unhappy. Remy’s fingers slow their pace, ready for whatever comes next. He’d do anything to please you, even if that meant stopping. 

“B-But what about you?” you continue, worried.

Relieved, he chuckles low, and slides his finger down to your entrance, ready to resume. “We can worry about Remy later. It’s alla’ ‘bout you right now.”

His selfless response floors you… or maybe it’s the way that his middle finger breaches your dripping slit, and crooks up inside to find your G-spot with ease, while the wide pad of thumb continues swiping at your clit. Maybe it’s both. You’re going with both. 

You’re used to being pleasured. You’ve felt all this before – well, not this, specifically, because no man has ever pleasured you the way that Remy Lebeau is pleasuring you currently. From the way his finger encircles your clit, applying just enough pressure to drive you crazy, but not enough to make you orgasm yet to the way that he leans down every so often, kissing along your collarbone.

“Remy,” you plead. “I want you to feel good, too…” 

“Oh, don’t you worry ‘bout ‘dat, chere… I feel just fine right now.”

Serving as punctuation, Remy thrusts his hips into the meat of your thigh, bumping his swollen, aching cock against your leg. You can feel the heat of it through your pants, and long to touch it, to stroke it, to taste it… but he has you whipped underneath his grasp, he’s in control and you’re certainly not about to test his strength.

Soft Yandere! Veteran being pegged! (No. You're not on top.)

How long has it been since I promised a male reader pegging this old dude? Uhhhhh... 😢

How about we not think about that and like- uh- focus that it got done? I have absolutely wonderful pookies that motivated me to finish this so let's all thank my lovely alphas for this! I wanted this to be on kinktober but writer's block and all dat- 😄

This has pegging. Which is in the title. It's clearly NSFW. So like-

MINORS DNI. MINORS DNI. MINORS DNI.

Alright! Now that that's all said and done! Enjoy fucking this old man!

TWs: overstimulation, condescending behavior towards reader, cum play, nipple play, I think that's it- comment if I forgot something pls-

WORD COUNT: 1.6K

KINKTOBER DAY ONE: TEMPERATURE PLAY

Pleasure. That’s the only thing you could possibly be thinking of right now. With your dick shoved into his ass, yet he was the one in full control of this situation. It didn’t matter that it was your hands on his hips— no. Your hands were just finding a place to grab onto while he rides you like he’s trying to drain you dry of both cum and life. This had to be why he looked like a silver fox, right? Stealing the vitality of the poor youth that got caught in his seductive ways. Which, in this case, was unfortunately and fortunately you. It was so warm inside him, the slowly cooling water only accentuating just how much more warmer he was— both from the soft walls that were clenching onto your dick like a vice, and from his skin. The wrinkled, aged skin that only made him even hotter in your eyes. White mixed with black hair on his arms just like his head.

Your eyes tear up from the sheer euphoria he was giving you, tongue almost shamelessly lolling as your mouth stayed open. If it wasn’t for that familiar, irritatingly enchanting glint in the old man’s eyes— moan after loud moan would have been falling off your kiss-bitten lips by now.

Speaking of lips, the reason for your current dilemma was now sliding his thumb over your bruised lower lip. His other hand goes to caress your cheek, the warmth forcing a groan to slip from you without warning. He notices the drool that threatened to leak, using it to coat your dry lips— dry from the heavy breaths you forced yourself to take as he rode you.

“Why aren’t you saying anything? Cat got your tongue?” He chuckles out as you try to focus a glare on him, pathetically failing due to your vision blurring from the incoming tears. His hips suddenly slam down onto you; a brash, animalistic noise leaving you as you’re buried down to the hilt.

Heaven. This must be what heaven felt like.

Your hands scramble to grab onto his hips, grip almost bruising as if he was the only thing grounding you to reality right now. The almost hypnotic grinding of his groin towards yours not helping with the way your mind wanted to shut down immediately. The cool water, the heat from your combined breaths, the way his hands left trails of fire with every inch they grope your skin— there was just so much for your poor brain to handle.

It honestly felt like you were being used as a dildo with how little work you were doing for maximum pleasure. To be honest, you would happily live your days out as his dildo if that was a choice. His raging hard-on kept on rubbing against your stomach, pre-cum and bath water slick on your skin.

Water droplets dripped down from your hair as you chewed on your lower lip— eyes laser-focused on his cock. His cock that you wanted to touch and feel in your hands. Your left hand lets go of his hip just for it to tentatively stroke his neglected dick; the heat in your palm making you shiver in the water. Thumb slowly tracing circles along the slit of its head, pre-cum continuously dripping down to your wrist and into the already cloudy cold water.

You didn’t want to be the only one losing their head, determined to make him fall into this mindless pleasure you were presently in too. You wanted him to bear himself out like you were doing, to show you the raw, primal instincts that you also had. To the point where manners would be shoved aside, and the two of you would just take and take from each other.

His pace noticeably slows down at the growing pressure of your strokes— hand slowly, yet purposefully, running down his entire length. Fingers smearing the thin fluids along the veined skin, feeling it throbbing in your hands. You could hear the way his heart quickens to the same -if not faster- pace of yours, could see the lust-induced haze in the corners of his eyes.

You use this chance to buck your hips up without warning, relishing in the way his throat hitched. Hand reaching down to squeeze his aching balls that were full of cum ready to be released. Your own cock twitched inside him, not faring better than him— overstimulated, needy, desperate: those were the words that could perfectly describe your deafening thoughts at the moment.

Right when you think that you’ve managed to win this unspoken game between the two of you, his lips curve up into a grin. His eyes held a knowing glint, as if he could read what was exactly on your mind right now— it felt like he was stripping you with his gaze despite your nudity. Crow’s feet deepened while his eyes held an obvious twinkle of mischief.

You should’ve remembered that unspoken games have unspoken rules.

He brings his roughened hands up from the water, skin ice-cold from being in the water for too long. His hands sensually slide up your body -your warm skin prickling from the cold- until they stay on your chest. He could probably feel how hard your heart was pumping right now, wrinkled palm right on top of it. Your eyes meet: calm meeting with panicked, smug meeting with wary.

Rule #1: He’ll always be in charge.

Your back arches when his weathered fingers pinch your nipples— senses confused as warmth floods inside your body, yet everything outside is cold. A gasp-like moan involuntarily leaves your lips, lips formed into an o-shape as your grip on his cock tightens reflexively. A deep groan escaping him as well from the squeeze, cool fingers still refusing to stop as he twisted your nipples almost painfully.

Another, louder, moan is forced out from your vocal cords when his head dips down— lips clamped onto one of your nipples, rough stubble grazing against your wet skin. You couldn’t help but come when his hot tongue swirls around the sensitive nub, teeth grazing against the already tortured skin. Eyes rolled back once again for what felt like the hundredth time. Your other nipple, receiving the same cruel treatment with his icy fingers. He definitely felt when you came; the water significantly more opaque as your cum dripped down his thighs and into the tub you were both in. Your cock still painfully hard in him despite coming just a few seconds ago.

Rule #2: You’re the bitch. Not him.

His eyelashes flutter when he finally releases your nipple from his soft lips, fingers already tweaking it before you could even sigh in relief. Your hand quickly lets go of his cock to grab onto his steel reinforced hips for bearing again— forehead pressed against his chest as you whine for him to stop.

“Why are you moaning, лапочка? I’m the one with your dick in my ass so why are you acting like our positions are reversed, little one?” Fuck. His dirty talk only made you want to beg him for more.

Your moans only get louder as he pulls on your nipples, drool pouring out from your lips like you were a brainless zombie— lips unable to remain closed. Shivers ran across your entire body, body trembling from both the cold and your overused cock. You were sure that you were only shooting blanks by now, every pathetic squirt easily seeping into the cloudy bathwater. You’d need to take a shower afterwards to clean all the come off you.

Rule #3: Don’t ever expect to walk after he’s done.

A choked whimper leaves you when he finally pulls himself off you agonizingly slow, your limbs feeling like jelly by now. You didn’t resist when he brought you into his arms, mind a slurry of contradicting sensations and abused instincts. Your eyelids drooping when he captures your lips in his, the kiss a slow, but careful one— everything he did had a reason and was meticulously planned out. A likely habit from his youth.

“You did so well, Солнце. Such a good boy for me. I’m so proud of you~” He croons out in a heavy voice, peppering kisses all along your face as his scarred hands snake up to your neck— his touch tender as he strokes your warming face. His own, ignored, cock still stiff and raised while he pampered you with the kisses you desperately needed right now. Your voice just whines for more of his attention, arms wrapping around his cold body to pull you closer to him.

The two of you just stay in the chilled bathwater for a moment, clinging onto each other for warmth as your labored breaths become background white noise. His lips trail down to your neck, pressing kisses onto your frigid skin— your breath hitching as his tongue slips out to run a fiery trail of saliva up to your jawline. An almost hissed out groan leaving his lips when he tastes the cold salt on your skin.

His eyes looked practically feral at this point, licking his lips clean of your taste before he crashed his lips onto yours to share what he thought was his own heaven. Swallowing down all your moans and whimpers like a starving man who finally got a feast laid out in front of him.

He reluctantly breaks from the kiss for the both of you to breathe. His hot breaths harsh on your skin as he leans his lips closer to your ear— whispering at a volume where you could only hear even if there was no one else around you two. A little secret that only you would know with him.

“As sweet as ever, Милый.”

Translation:

Солнце = sunshine

лапочка = sweetie pie / cutie

Милый = dear / darling

A/N:

Damn. I honestly didn't think this pegging would win. It was honestly included as both a joke and the consequence of staying up too late for too many consecutive nights... (Y'ALL TORTURED ME. THIS WAS SO HARD TO KEEP THIS OLD MAN'S HOLIER THAN THOU ATTITUDE WHILE BEING RAMMED!!) 😟

There. Y'all got to fuck the old dude. Happy now?? But anyways please comment anything you want me to do. (It'll take time, though. I'm not chat GTP okay?) 😩

Just no vomit, scat, and the works okay? Golden showers are a hell no too. Look. I'm not going to kink shame here, but I cannot write anything like that due to my BOUNDARIES. Non-con, baby trapping, and other dark matters are fine. I love that shit. But yeah. Maybe I'll make another OC, maybe not. It really depends on my mood. 😘

AUTHOR OUT! 😌

[walks-the-ages]

If I didn't mention it, I'll be voting for Jasmine Sherman (they/them) in November, Because they already have Ballot Access in 48 states , as opposed to Jill Stein who currently only has ~23 states with Ballot Access.

EDIT:

Someone has commented to point out that while Jasmine Sherman's website lists out 48 states that they're on the Ballot for, there's no sources given for this information, and right now, while its only wikipedia articles, neither of us can find any ballot access map or list not on their website that confirms that information independantly.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballot_access_in_the_2024_United_States_presidential_election

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Green_Party_presidential_primaries#Declared_candidates

Jasmine Sherman's own "how to vote for us" section of their website encourages people to use Ballotpedia, they're only listed as being on the ballot for one state , while the Presidential Election 2024 page does not list them at all and neither does their ballot-access tracker at politico:

Jasmine Sherman's website also lists them as being on the ballot under the Unicorn Party.... but I have not seen any list anywhere that list where the Unicorn Party is on the ballot except for their website.

There's also the fact that their website's policy on the Death Penalty not only supports it, but wants it to be either by Morphine Overdose or fucking Firing Squad with only 1 year of appeals??? There's a footnote above it that says their position has changed and they're leaving the original policy up for preservation but like...

.. you can't run for President saying you want the Death Penalty to be done by Firing Squad of all fucking things when people almost universally hate the death penalty (not least of which because it kills so many innocents) and then just leave a note that you changed your mind but not what your new official stance is????

https://jasminesherman.com/death-penalty-policy/ [note at top of Policy page] *Jasmine wishes to inform the readers that this post is being preserved to uphold transparency. While the death penalty contradicts the Green Party’s platform, it would be disingenuous to ignore the evolution of Jasmine’s stance on this matter. Their transition from previous support to a different standpoint is noteworthy, highlighting that a candidate’s position is not solely driven by personal preferences but also reflects the desires of their constituents. [Policy] Purpose: Institute a federal standard for capital punishment. Scope: Encourage states to be more efficient with resources surrounding the enforcement of “Capital Punishment.” Our policy: Capital Punishment – is to be reserved for those convicted of mass killing and serial killer events only. Due process is to take no more than one calendar year. There should be two options available for the execution; morphine overdose or firing squad. All other capital punishment cases will remain as they are or will be subject to incorporation into the Unicorn Party’s “Restorative Justice Treatment Program”. Definitions: Mass Killing Event: A multiple homicide incident in which four or more victims are murdered by any means, within one event, and in one or more locations in close proximity. Serial Killing: The unlawful killing of two or more victims by the same offender(s), in separate events.

So, uhhhhh, yeah. If you want to kill people who are Officially Criminals by Firing Squad I don't really think you can be trusted to be thinking in terms of humane death or punishment. Note how the website does not include what their official new position is at all, when that's literally what the Policy page is for!

If you believe in Restorative Justice and universal healthcare because everyone deserves the right to life .... if you truely believe in that how can you support the Death Penalty at all, let alone by such barbaric methods?

There's also the "Policy" about "Rights of Sentient Beings" that says

"The majority of research does suggest that primarily plant based consumption for humans is ideal. This doesn’t include those with disabilities or health phenomenons we do not understand.

which.... from almost everything I've read out there published by actual medical professionals, unless you're going out of your way to eat very specific things each and every day, you're going to run into nutritional deficiencies and need to take supplements if you're going vegetarian or vegan! In fact, you have to as much as double your iron intake on a plant-based diet because the iron we get from plants isn't as digestible as the one we get from meat. Because. You know. we're literally omnivores for a reason.

SO! After doing some more deep dives into their actual policies (such as they are), and looking deeper into the supposed-ballot access, Jasmine Sherman is not a candidate I will be voting for.

You can advocate for the humane treatment of animals without insisting that all humans except disabled people are perfectly capable of healthily living on a vegan diet, because that's simply not true without supplaments or a vastly increased access to a variety of foods, and if you truly believe in abolishing the criminal-justice system, there's no way in fucking hell you would support the Death Penalty.

Like I said in my longer version of this post (which is still relevant, check out the reblogs), voting third partym eans being adaptable and doing research in pursuit of a Free Palestine , which means, until we can get some independant verification of Jasmine Sherman having ballot access in 48 states, (and an actual proven change on that horrific stance on Capital Punishment!!!!), it is back to Jill Stein for me.

Unlike Jasmine Sherman, Jill Stein actually wants to abolish the Death Pentalty entirely, and has a long list of changes she plans to implement for restorative justice if elected:

Moon 192 Part 9

I got my new tablet (next day delivery babyyyyyyy !!!!!!!!!)

Arch + Azalea weren't spayed because uhhhhh . Hrm. I imagine they'd been living at the barn for a while + possibly went through multiple owners who just never bothered / didnt know they had to

I imagine they had elderly owners for a while and were passed down to younger family members .

And then both Azalea and Arch started venturing out into the forest and stuff more to get away from home cuz they didnt like their new owners as much (they're more fussy, they try to brush them + clean their teeth, etc)

Their older owners were more neglectful ..... but its what they were used to, sadly . : (

I think these current owners who are trying to care for all these barn cats only started spaying and neutering recently within the last 3 or so years (maybe they only just got the funds for it)

A guide to writing fics set in museums / with a museum worker character

Hey hi hello it’s your local museum worker here, offering you some insight and tips to writing museum-related fics! This is primarily organized as a list of different jobs you could have in a museum and what their duties entail. This post might also be useful to you if you’re considering working in museums and want to know What Goes On In There. Let’s go!

For simplicity/fic-writing purposes, I would divide museums into 2 very rough groups: large national or city museums that Have Money (think the Smithsonian or British Museums, or the Chicago Field Museum or the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds); and smaller local museums. These could be local industry and culture/history-of-our town museums, historic houses, or  really niche subject museums run by One Person With A Passion.

Big national museums have a fuckton of staff and money (museums can never have enough money. But these places are very well-off compared to somewhere small that might always be hustling and writing grant applications). If you work here you’re likely to have a specific role in a particular department, and you probably won’t do much outside this role (ex., if you work in collections management, you probably won’t also design exhibits)

The smaller the museum, the more varied your workload will be/the more likely you are to be doing a little bit of everything. You’re probably organizing collections storage, manning the front desk, and desperately running fundraising efforts, all at once. 

To this end, smaller museums are more likely to be closed one or two days a week- you’ll be there, probably cleaning displays or managing storage, but visitors won’t be.

A lot of (most?) universities also have museums, so a college town setting is also doable. But the same big vs small museum disparity is still possible! At Penn State University, for example, the Palmer Art Museum is its own (recently redone iirc) building in the center of campus with a lovely plaza out front, while the Matson Museum of Anthropology is uhhhhh a couple classrooms in the Anthropology Department (which they’re currently rebuilding tbf, so we’ll see what they’ve done with it in 2025).

Types of Jobs

Curator

The one museum job that everyone can name. Nominally the person in charge. Probably laments that their job is way more admin than fun hands-on stuff now.

Actually this is the role I have the least knowledge of, but I think that’s partially because this job might vary the most from place to place? Structural organization can vary a lot between institutions, but I think the higher up you get in any field, the more your job tends to consist of meetings/overseeing, designating, and ~liaising~

A list of things a curator might do:

Planning or approving events and fundraisers, schmoozing with donors and members at said events, approving or designing a schedule of exhibits, publish outreach/advertising or research materials, oversee hiring, approve new object acquisitions (or de-acquisitions), generally make sure that the museum is working within the scope of its mission and if necessary, change or refine their mission

The curator might not necessarily control a museum’s funds; in this case they’ll liaise with the people who do, likely a Board of Executives or Board of Trustees. Once they get the money from these people, though, they could potentially redistribute it as they see fit.

 If you work in a fuckoff museum like the BM, you could also be the curator of a specific department, arranged by overarching subject, geographic area, time period, or even object type (eg Curator of Archaeobotany, Curator of Korean Collections, curator of coins from the medieval period). These categories can be more or less specific depending on what kind of holdings your museum has. I think these types of curators would still be able to do interesting things, as they aren’t the ones who Oversee The Whole Place.

You can also be an assistant or associate curator, like being an assistant manager.

Education/Engagement

These are the people who design fun extra activities (esp for kids) in the galleries or relevant events/workshops/lectures the public can attend. They might be called Engagement/Education Officer or Events Manager or anything similar

Again, the bigger the museum you work at, the more specific your role is likely to be. You might focus on web content/outreach and social media, manage the ‘friends/members of the museum’ program, or engage with shareholders, etc

Or you might do things like develop content and events to engage adult audiences. Workshops or lectures connected to new exhibits, after-hours visits. These people are also probably the ones with an eye on accessibility- you’ve probably seen advertisements for museums’ early or late hours for older visitors, or ‘quiet hours’ for people who might be overstimulated by normal museum hubbub, or tactile workshops designed for visually impaired folks.

I think most places would try to have someone specific for kids activities at the very least. They’ll be designing little activities or dress-up stations for the galleries, kiddie mascots or scavenger hunt trail kind of things, as well as, potentially, activities for any digital elements in the museum. They probably also coordinate school visits and act as a tour guide for classes, and will lead the kids in specific workshops or lessons in classrooms attached to the museum.

As a note on technology- some people would probably say that integrating digital elements into exhibits is the ~next big thing~, that museums have to get with the times in this regard, but opinions vary. Big science and technology museums are the most likely to have the most digital and techy elements in their exhibits, so if this is your setting, your character could also be a generic “tech person”. I would go so far as to say the smaller/more local the museum, the less technology you’re likely to have, but smaller museums are able to get grants, some of them potentially for specifically this type of thing, so it’s totally possibly that they have a few tablets with integrated activities, or some other Digital/Screen Thing.

Engagement Officers are probably the most likely people to be drafted for out-of-hours events, so that’s a potentially fun thing for your character to do. Some museums, particularly bigger ones, have event spaces attached that anybody can rent out, for weddings, galas, markets, etc, so they might also take care of these bookings as well.

Exhibit Design

This role has a lot of nebulous terms: exhibit coordinator, design constructor, exhibit programmer- but these are the people who design the exhibits. They’ll come up with a theme or narrative, a design scheme, choose the objects, write the text. They’ll probably come up with some marketing material as well, that matches the design scheme, or they’ll liaise with the marketing people who will.

These people might not be as familiar with the collections as the collections management folk (below), depending on how strictly divided your roles are, so they’ll likely consult with the collections people on choosing objects for a particular exhibit or theme (they say that good exhibit design builds an exhibit from the objects up, but I digress).

These people will also direct and participate in the install and deinstall (the actual terms) of exhibits- putting the objects on the right plinths/stands and arranging everything just so in the cases. Genuinely there’s a lot of psychology behind exhibit design- colors, lighting, the way you might design an exhibit to be navigated vs the path people will actually take through the gallery, people’s sight lines and where their eyes go first, how the display of any given object affects people’s perception of the importance of that object. Fascinating stuff, many books on the subject. 

There are also a lot of accessibility concerns to be considered here- how bright is the gallery, how large is your display text, at what height is the central eyeline of your cases?

Museums often loan objects to and from each other’s collections, so if you’re building an exhibit and you’d really like to include X type of object but your museum doesn’t have any, you can borrow some from another museum (this isn’t necessarily a guarantee- museums are allowed to say no to these requests, but I think manners would dictate that they should have a good reason)

Museums sometimes tour whole exhibitions as well- the objects, the text placards, maybe even the stands for super special or fragile items- and exhibit coordinator people are the ones who would handle those arrangements.

Potentially good opportunities for angst stories here- wow things come to life at your museum, you fall in love with a statue but oh no it’s only at your museum for three months

Collections Care

People who work in Collections Management have the most direct contact with the museum objects themselves. You probably work here if you prefer objects to people. When a museum gets new material, these are the people involved. They might not always initiate acquisitions, and the final approval is probably down to the relevant curator, but 98% of the time they’d be consulted (I hope).

A mind-boggling statistic is that most museums only have like 10% of their collections on display at any given time. Yeah. Forreal lol. But collections folk will know where the other 90% is and what’s in it (particularly the longer they’ve been there). 

There’s usually a head Collections Manager. Other workers might be a Collection Assistant/Associate, Collections Officer (we like calling people Officers for some reason), Registrar, or some variant of these depending on the specific flavor of your duties. 

Main job duties can be divided amongst documentation and database work, organization and storage of objects, and lite conservation. Just how much/how technical the conservation work depends on your own training, but also on the size/funding of your museum. The more money, the more likely your museum is to have its own lab with people specifically trained as conservators. More on them later. 

Here’s what happens when a museum gets new stuff!:

Ideally, it goes to a ‘quarantine zone’ first. This is a separate space or room where the objects can relax for a few weeks to a few months (ultimate best practice is actually a year, but, you know. that’s a long time) to ensure that they’re not harboring anything icky (bugs, mold, etc) that will infect the rest of the collections. It’s ideally super-sealed and climate-controlled, but the primary feature should be that it’s away from the main collections store.

Collections folk do the paperwork. They’ll give each individual object a unique number (following their preexisting system that will allow it to be identified distinct from all the other objects in the collection). They’ll create a ‘collections record’ for the object- documentation containing any and all information about the object. This includes the accession paperwork (everything that says ‘we legally own this now’); provenance info (all previous owners and everywhere else the object has been in its life); measurements and description (in painful detail); and conservation history and concerns (ie ‘there’s a crack in the side so pick up with care’, ‘this was repaired in the 70s so that glue is gonna fall apart any day now’).

(I'll say as a fic writer that this would be an great time to wax poetic over a beautiful statue or painting; you can’t write “This golden crown deserved to be worn by a great king, or maybe by that broody Roman general in the painting in Gallery B” in the collections paperwork, but you can think it.)

For fiction’s sake, your collections records could be either paper or digital, but in an ideal world a museum would have both setups, for security’s sake. So you’d fill out some long forms and/or input all the information to the digital collections management system (‘the CMS’, or referred to by your specific software’s name, as there are many out there). The CMS is not a static archive, but rather a living register that’s updated every time an object is interacted with. The object records also include where an object is at any given time (‘normally in Case E in the Fancypants Gallery, currently in Conservation Lab A for repairs’).

Once the objects are done in quarantine, they’ll go to storage. If they’re being displayed immediately, they’ll probably go to some interim storage space/shelf with other objects for the same exhibit and in that case only get a temporary setting. Every object will get labeled with their object number (directly on them, with a special pen that’s safe for this. Or if it’s really tiny, like a coin or jewelry, then their own tiny box will get the label). Small or fragile items, or items grouped together, will go in their own boxes (made of acid- and lignin-free cardboard or polyethylene plastic, like Rubbermaid totes; lined with polyethylene foam and then acid-free tissue paper). Stable ceramic vessels might sit directly on lined shelving, particularly if they’re very large or heavy, like many stone objects.

Listen, every type of object has a particular way(s) of storing that’s best for them, you’re gonna have to look that up yourself or consult someone if you need that level of detail

Ideally, before being stored away, objects are also photographed. This could be part of the Collection Officer’s duty, and/or your museum could have a photographer on staff. (say it with me:) This is more likely if your museum is really huge and/or has a backlog of unphotographed collections and has hired someone specifically, even if temporarily, to improve its collections documentation.

I would say a collections person, or anyone with a museum studies degree, should have some minimum amount of conservation knowledge that includes basic storage standards for different object materials, how to spot potential preservation problems (like if your bronze axe head is actively oxidizing or if that green spot looks the same as it always has since starting and pausing decaying), and maybe how to give objects a basic clean or deal with certain types of problems. But the nitty-gritty science is more the realm of Conservators, someone with a degree that ends in -Sci or who’s done some other certification course.

The general collections store should always be dark, slightly too cool for prolonged human comfort, and labeled to high heaven. Objects will most likely be grouped by material- ceramics/pottery, metals, precious metals and stones (jewelry or beads), stone, glass, wood, bone/ivory/other organic material like feathers or teeth or anything that can be decorative, textiles, paintings. A museum often has some paper material/documents, usually part of or related to a group of objects they acquired, but generally paper and photographic material is the realm of archives and archivists. Yet again, the bigger/more well-funded the museum, the more likely it to have a separate archive department, so your character could also work as an archivist in a museum.

Another thing the collections care folk probably do is ship objects. Remember how I said that  museums loan objects and exhibitions to each other? The stuff’s gotta travel somehow! If things are being shipped internationally, they’ll go in big wooden crates, with specifically dimensioned partitions inside. Then it will be lined with our favorite foam and tissue paper, cut so the objects sit snugly inside. I haven’t personally worked anywhere with a possibility of local shipments, so I can’t say where the threshold might be as to when a museum would just pay an employee to drive the objects over vs ship them with a shipping company. But the preparations would be similar, minus the big wooden crate but with extra-careful packing (and paperwork and insurance etc)

Conservation

Conservators are the people who work in labs with fancy equipment. Not every museum will have a formal conservator or a lab of any kind; sometimes the collections care person fills this role, or if something urgently needs care beyond the abilities of the museum’s equipment, they might send it away to a lab elsewhere, the same way you can send your old VHS home videos to a professional archive to be digitized.

If an object is actively deteriorating in a way that could harm itself or other objects (as opposed to like, at risk of fading bc the lighting is wrong, which is a straightforward fix related to the environment), that’s when a conservator would intervene.

Some methods/machinery by which you can analyze objects:

Ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) light - Different materials absorb and react to light differently, which you can use to identify them. Useful for seeing things like the different layers of paintings

Stereo-microscopy (microscopes, of varying strengths)

At magnifications of x5-x100 you can see things like tool marks from an object’s manufacture, traces from wear, deposits, and coatings

At x50-x500, with a thin sliver of a sample, you can see (and hopefully identify) fibers, layers, particles, metallographic structures 

You can get information from objects without taking samples, but samples are usually worth the information. 

energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence spectrometry (EDXRF) - EDXRF allows you to identify the elemental composition of the surface layer of an object. So it might tell you what a tool is made of, and also the composition of the objects it was used on, if they left traces

scanning electron microscopy (SEM) - an SEM uses a focused beam of electrons to produce a magnified, high-resolution image of the surface of an object

X-radiography, both film and digital - X-rayy are beneficial for objects that might be covered by dirt or corrosion and can show you details of an object’s construction or hidden structural weaknesses

I’m not a conservator, so if you want more hard science-based info, ask one of them lol

Listen to me. If you take nothing else away from this post, let it be this:

 Once an object is in a museum, it is never seeing natural daylight again. Sunlight is the ultimate enemy of every object’s lifespan. If you need to see an object in the sun or moon light for ~magical spell reasons~, you will straight up be stealing that object to smuggle it outside.

Okay. That being said, you do hear (and could probably google) stories about museum employees stealing things from their museums on purpose to prove a point about security or insurance to their higher-ups, so like. Depending on your type of museum, it might not be impossible to steal from lmao. (Don’t tell anyone I said that.)

Possibly the most useful advice for you to keep in mind when writing your conservator or collections care characters would be that touching objects hurts them. It might not hurt them now, it might not even hurt them in ten years, but every time you handle an object, there’s a risk that you’ll damage it. Not on purpose, obviously, but to err is human. The simplest, most effective advice my conservation professor ever gave us was “don’t handle an object if you don’t have to.” That means don’t move an object without a plan and a place to put it, first examination should always be visual, not tactile, etc. Unfortunately, that means that your character cannot walk around lovingly handling and caressing their favorite objects (unless this is a Night at the Museum situation where the objects are caressing them back, ykwim)

Museum Technician

These people probably have a lot of different names, but basically, technicians are the background muscle of the museum. They do the technical construction of bigger pieces of exhibition material, up to and including the exhibition cases themselves. 

So they wouldn’t deal with the small mount that the object rests on, but they might build the big plinth that the mount sits on. They’ll help move things around the building, particularly big heavy things, hang big framed works, assist with exhibit installs, and generally do most things which might involve power tools/equipment or heavy lifting

I worked in a big museum that hired a third party company to supply their technicians; I interviewed at another place that hired their own. If you’re a small museum, you might just have a freelance person that comes in once or twice a week to help move things.

Other

Other miscellaneous roles one could have in a museum: researcher (for exhibits and/or collections), gift shop or cafe worker, security guard, room attendant, translator, archaeologist, consultant

Honestly, TL;DR? Just have your character be a consultant of some kind. “Oh no, I don’t work here, I’m Y’s friend. They called me in to provide some expertise on X subject that they’re doing an exhibit on.” This could work for literally any subject- history/archaeology/anthropology, art, transportation, science and technology, anything you might find pictures of in an archive, idk. This could get you into an office or meeting room of some kind in the ‘employee only’ space of the museum, or potentially all the way into the collections store if you’re giving them information they were missing about some objects. Otherwise you’d probably (hopefully) need a key or some other kind of security clearance to get into the collections store.

Whew, that was a ride, huh? I hope this guide was useful to someone! I’m always open to answering questions if you think I forgot something or if anyone wants more details <3

[brights-place]

Hii!! I’ve seen your tbt works and I absolutely love them! I was wondering if you could write brozone x reader that acts like the dazzlings from mlp? I’m obsessed with them and tbt currently so I would appreciate it if you could write this! ^_^

Brozone with an Dazzling! S/O

Pairing: Brozone X F! Dazzling S/O (Seperate)

Warnings: Angst, Manipulation, slight fluff

A/N: I LOVE THE DAZZLINGS FROM MLP! THEY ARE SO COOL AND ARE SO HOT! I MEAN UHM- UHHHHH ENJOY! FORGET WHAT I SAID! this will take place in their brozone days in the past eaech character is the same age the character is so for example you are the same age as branch if your interacting him and your the same age of floyd if you interact with him yadda yadda! it's 4:00am and I've worked on this since like 10pm

The Brozone band stared at each other when seeing an f/c troll with f/c hair on an stage with three other Trolls singing behind her. They were told by their grandmother to go to other concerts and get inspiration from other bands since they where on an slump so they went to an concert. Brozone stood at the front confused as they heard people scream before going silent when lights flashed down to the stage at an group of four that wore an black gem necklace with an shining ruby as they sang together with you stepping forward from behind your friend Adaigo who smirked as you all sang together perfectly in harmony. Brozone was in awe how easily it was for you four to be in harmony which caught john dorys attention as he muttered "What is that?" He muttered confused pointing towards the four of you glowing abit as an green mist rised up from the crowd flowing towards your groups glowing red gem choker as you danced around.

John Dory/JD

- He walked backstage with his brothers and noticed your F/C frame as he walked over "hello!" he said waving hello as you turned around before dropping your drink and jaw to the floor - "OMG!!! Your THE! brozone!" you squealed eyes sparkling as John dory smiled at your face - You motioned them to follow you "I'd like to apolgize by the way" john and his brothers looked at eachother confused "why?" "You'll see" you uttered shivering as you walked to your dressing room as Aria and Sonata were at eachothers throats about what to eat as Adiago was filing her nails lifting her head up to teh door to see You and the rest of brozone - John dory stared at you the whole time as you made Adiago come over to talk to them as John dory asked her questions about maintaining Balance since they both were the leaders of their bands - The other brozone boys would talk to you three as Adiago smirked when John dory asked her about how they were in harmony so easily "Its cause we are perfect" Adiago said as You, Aria, and Sonata perked up when Adiago snapped her fingers to get your attentions as you three walked over to give an example - You smiled towards John dory and the other brozone boys who took an seat as they heard you four sing in harmony together easily "Why pretend we're all the same? When some of us shine brighter" Adiago sang as your gems glowed brightly as Aria, You, and Sonata sang "shining brighter" "Here's a chance to find your flame! Are you a loser or a fighter?" Adiago said smiling as your gems glowed slightly as you guys walked around the brozone boys who focused on you guys as you an small green mist surronded the group of five as they furrowed their eyebrows thinking to themselves glancing at eachother but baby branch looked around confused - You four smirked checking your gems before stopping as John dory stood up "What do you call that?" "We call it the perfect family harmony" you said quickly as your three friends behind you smirked - John stared at you "How ?" "be perfecrt! perfect choreo! perfect apperance, Perfect singing just be PERFECT!" You said eyes sparkling as John dory nodded glancing at his brothers

- John dory turned back to you as you left to go offer some of the brozone males some sweets as Aria sighed knowing what was gonna happen when seeing sonata drool - "You'll have to excuse them. They're idiots." Adiago said crossing her arms witnessing you chase Sonata around cause she took your favourite sweet from you John dory smiled softly "I dont mind..." Adiago noticed John dorys stare towards you as she smirked slowly something clicking in her mind

- When brozone left john dory looked at you "Hey... Uhm your amazing at singing you ever want to... I dunno practice together?" you smiled at him nodding as he left with his brothers

- Adiago walked over with Sonata and Aria following behind staring down at you "I'm tired of fast food. I need a meal..." Aria said groaning "The energy in this world isn't the same as in Equestria. We can only gain so much power here." Adiago said checking her gem "I wish we'd never been banished to this awful place." Aria frowned as you nodded in agreement "Really I love it here!" Adiago said arvastically as Sonata stared confused "For realsies? Because I think this place is the worst." Sonata said confused as Aria scoffed crossing her arms "I think your the worst sonata" "oh yeah well I think your-" Adiago groaned shaking her head in annoyance "Ergh! I'll tell you one thing, being stuck here with you two isn't making this world any more bearable." Sonata stared confused "Two? but theres three?" "thats cause (Name) is my favourite" She said patting your head as you looked up smiling abit at the older girl while Aria and Sonata glanced at eachother before nodding in agrement

- You would come over to brozone's place to see john dory to help make him and his brothers sound perfect since Adiago told you to get near him and stir some trouble

- You smiled at him as he tried to sing but had an voice crack as you giggled handing him some water and giving him so voice exercises to do which he did and hit an note that he couldn't hit

- The fact you smiled at him as he finished singing and clapping your hands made him notice your jewel on your neck before speaking "You know I see your outfits for all your shows now and the thing is you guys dont ever take of that necklace-" He reached his hand out to touch your necklace as you grabbed his wrist quickly staring up at him "DON'T TOUCH!" you shouted before chuckling nervously and leaning back "It's- it's just! Just don't touch!" You said quickly as he pulled back nodding

- John stared at you confused at your gem and back "Was it from someone important?" you paused nodding quickly "yeah" you said looking away as John Dory was confused but sat back abit

- John dory smiled "You should come to our next concert! we promised our fans we will do the perfect family harmony! like you you and the other dazzlings do!" John dory said proudly as he felt his ego boost as you smiled "Oh were counting on it" You said looking away with an smug smirk

- the day of the concert you and your fellow dazzlings were allowed backstage to just give them an 'Pep' talk

- You were told to go speak to John dory to make him vulnerable since you were close to him yet you were having second thoughts about this - "John... You know you don't have to do the perfect family harmony" you whispered as John dory furrowed his eyebrows "we have to be perfect! and if were not we are nothing!" John dory said - John dory couldn't help but notice how your fellow dazzlings were singing quietly "Why are the singing?" John dory muttered confused glancing towards you "Oh! they are just uhmmm" you paused "Five minutes!" an staff said as you turned back to John "Hey... Do you wanna go on an date with me after this?" John asked nervously as you giggled nodding "I'd like that" - You went to the crowd and sat at the back to not be seen well as you four made sure not to be seen

- John was getting annoyed on how his brothers were imperfect but when he saw you in the crowd staring up at him he needed this to be perfect just for you... all that practice had to be worth it

- The fact he sang towards you most of the time on stage you noticed how he got slightly frustrated that his brothers weren't following him properly

- Adiago, Aria, and Sonata smirked singing quietly as people stared up at brozone who had some... setbacks and crumpled on stage embarrassing themself as the dazzlings smirked as an green mist flowed towards their gems

- You frowned "Oh John..." you muttered looking down to your gem as it glowed an bright ruby red as your fellow sirens giggled "It's not enough of an meal though...." Aria grumbled

- When you followed them back to their house with them not realizing you noticed how they all started fighting as you four stood outside smirking - "Oh, no! No one's mingling! It's like there's some kind of underlying tension that could bubble to the surface at any minute!" Adiago said giggling while Sonata and Aria smirked yet you couldn't help but look at John dory with slight sadness Sonata placed an hand your shoulder "Whats with you face?" "I feel bad..." "what!" sonata exclaimed in shock

- Sonata stared at you with confusion as Aria furrowed her brows "You feel bad? What the hell" You stared over at John dory and his brothers who were fighting - You couldn't help but stare at them as they went backstage while you frowned and looked down to your necklace thinking to yourself "Was it worth it?" You muttered to yourself as you glanced back at John dory once more before leaving with your fellow dazzlings

Spruce/Bruce

-Spruce followed behind his brothers before stopping when seeing you at the food table picking up some sweets. - He noticed that his favorite sweet was there so he ran off towards the table and smiled seeing his favorite sweet and checking if john dory wasn't looking which he wasn't as he picked up his favorite sweet which was also your favorite sweet

- You couldn't help but smile "you like those too? I like the (Favorite flavor) one better" Spruce smiled "Oh! I like the strawberry" Spruce chuckled lifting up the sweet

- You couldn't help but giggle putting your hand out "(name)" "Spruce" he said you two shaking hands "I saw you on stage your amazing" "Aww thank you so much!" You said blushing "Your from brozone right?" Spruce smile faded slightly before nodding "you an fan?" "Well I've heard of you but your songs aren't really my thing no offense" "All good" Spruce said chuckling

- You and him walked towrads you dressing room conversing to eachother before seeing John dory talking to Adiago about some 'perfect family harmony' while Clay and Floyd talking to Aria and sonata while Bitty B was being picked up by sonata as she giggled excietdly

- Adiago looked over at you giggling and chatting away with bruce Adiago glanced towards Sonata and Aria who noticed Adiago is look

- Adiago smirked when John dory asked her about how they were in harmony so easily "Its cause we are perfect" Adiago said as You, Aria, and Sonata perked up when Adiago snapped her fingers to get your attentions as you three walked over to give an example - You glanced towards spruce "Sorry Spruce I gotta-" Spruce smiled "It's fine don't worry!" - You smiled towards Spruce as he smiled back as the other brozone boys who took an seat as they heard you four sing in harmony together easily "Why pretend we're all the same? When some of us shine brighter" Adiago sang as your gems glowed brightly as Aria, You, and Sonata sang "shining brighter" "Here's a chance to find your flame! Are you a loser or a fighter?" Adiago said smiling as your gems glowed slightly as you guys walked around the brozone boys who focused on you guys as you an small green mist surronded the group of five as they furrowed their eyebrows thinking to themselves glancing at eachother but baby branch looked around confused - You four smirked checking your gems before stopping as John dory stood up "What do you call that?" he questioned as you looked around confused "We call it the perfect family harmony" you said quickly as your fellow sirens behind you smirked "Nice" Spruce muttered eyes focusing on you as you looked away giggling slightly

- Spruce smiled at you and you smiled back softly towards him

- You two have been hanging out ever since you met sometimes coming over to your pod with your fellow dazzlings or at his pod with his brothers but he knew he would get teased

- Whenever he comes by he feels like he doesn't have to be the heart throb he could just relax. He didn't need to show off his abs he didn't need to be an heart throb he could just be himself

- When you two where doing skincare at your place since he was flabbergasted you didn't have one he smiled at how your face scrunched up when he put an moisturizer on your nose

- He watched as you giggled happily as he cupped your face while you smiled at him before he looked down to your necklace "You know I never see you take of your necklace..." Spruce muttered as he slowly slide his hand down from your cheek to reach out to your necklace as you grabbed his hand stopping him holding it "Stop!" you shouted as you looked up at fear as he froze "Sorry... Sorry just it's important I can't let you touch it"

- Spruce paused "Sorry dude" you sighed "It's fine..." you looked away as he looked back at your face before speaking it "you look dumb with that moisturizer just staying on your nose" spruce said as you chuckled "Seriously?" Spruce smiled back "Seriously" - the day of the concert you and your fellow dazzlings were allowed backstage to just give them an 'Pep' talk. you rushed towards spruce tackling him into an hug as he was doing abs crunches he looked up to see you running towards him as he stood up quickly catching you (You know when Terry from B99 catches Jake when he says 'when i jump and leap at terry he'd catch me' its like that ) - He smiled at you as he talked to you while he was getting ready for the show as he told you to sit on his back which you did as you heard John dory tell Spruce to continue working out before raising an eyebrow at you as you were painting your nails mindlessly - When they were heading to the entry spruce couldn't help but look towards you "(Name)... you think we can do it?" You looked away shaking your head "It takes practice..." Spruce nodded "Yeah I know John is taking this into an whole thing" You nodded "You got this" - When they went on stage you couldn't help but notice Adiago place an hand on your shoulder "Your getting close to him... this is good we can use it"

- You went to the crowd and sat at the back to not be seen well as you four made sure not to be seen. _-You could see spruce was getting annoyed on how john dory wasn't doing the choreo that clay made and were making it ore difficult for him to relax - Adiago, Aria, and Sonata smirked singing quietly as people stared up at brozone who had some... setbacks and crumpled on stage embarrassing themself as the dazzlings smirked as an green mist flowed towards their gems

- You frowned looking down to your gem as it glowed an bright ruby red as your fellow sirens giggled "It's not enough of an meal though...." Aria grumbled crossing her arms - "Oh, no! No one's mingling! It's like there's some kind of underlying tension that could bubble to the surface at any minute!" Adiago said giggling while Sonata and Aria smirked yet you couldn't help but look at spruce with slight sadness Sonata placed an hand your shoulder "Whats with you face?" "I feel bad..." "what!" sonata exclaimed in shock

- Sonata stared at you with confusion as Aria furrowed her brows "You feel bad? What the hell" You stared over at John dory and his brothers who were fighting - You couldn't help but stare at them as they went walked away while your three friends left before Adiago raised an brow "(name) come" She called out as you paused "Uhm- I'll catch up with you guys later!" you called out before rushing to catch up with Spruce/Bruce

- "Spruce! Spruce" You called out when seeing him leave his pod he looked towards you "(name)" he said quickly rushing towards you as you hugged him as he held you close - "where are you going?" "our band split up Brozones over im so sick of JD! and his stupid rules and how he wants us to be perfect it's annoying and controlling" Spruce said annoyed as he couldn't help but notice how when he continued to let out his frustration as you sang softly and quietly as he paused and stared up at you before looking down to an green mist flowing towards your necklace - He furrowed his brows raising an hand to touch your face "(name)" You couldn't help but start an musical number with him as you went to calm him down but also feast on his negative energy as Spruce grew tired slightly while he sang with you - When you finished singing with him he noticed how your gem glowed slightly "(Name) thanks for singing with me" Spruce paused before speaking up once more "Why do you wear that necklace though you never told me" Spruce stared at you "I'll tell you some day but right now you need to go find yourself... I'm sorry I can't come with you but I wish you goodluck" Spruce couldn't help but nod before kissing your knuckles "Goodbye (Name)" "Bye Spruce..." - As you watched him leave you raised your hand smiling when remembering him kissing your knuckles

Clay

- Clay was following John dory before noticing you being scolded by Adiago "You messed up on your own choreography! Your lucky that you fixed it quickly! just get back to practicing the next choreo for our next song were gonna send out next week!" You couldn't help but look away sadly - Adiago sighed "God I hate it here" Adiago said walking away as Aria and sonata nodded in agreement with you nodding slowly after "I hate we got sent into this world aswell" you muttered as the three left to the dressing room as clay walked over "You good?" you couldn't help but flinch and smile "oh hey! oh! your clay from brozone right? I saw you guys on stage" you said smiling happily

- Clay couldn't help but put on his fun persona "Oh yeah! I'm the fun one" Clay said in an energetic tone as you raised an eyebrow confused as you noticed his mood shift

- “Do you read?” You asked clay with an soft smile on your face as he paused "I do" "you should join my sad bookclub" You offered as clay paused "Sad book club?" You couldn't help but nod "yeah we just sit around and hug and stuff... and cry... but we also read!" Clay smiled "Oh... I would like that!"

- As you to walked back to your dressing room you continued to tell more about the book club he couldn't help but smile as you went back into the dressing room waving hello to the other brozone boys as Aria and Sonata nodded towards you as you went to an book shelf - You couldn't help but smiled when finding an book handing it to him "here this book is called the outsiders it's by S. E. Hinton" You grinned as he took it as you patted his shoulder "it's an tear jerker" - You, Aria, and Sonata perked up when Adiago snapped her fingers to get your attentions as you three walked over to give an example of your singing as you apologized to clay "here borrow this book I'll be right back" you said hurriedly as Clay nodded before staring down at the book in his hands reading the blurb with an soft smile - The other brozone boys took an seat as they heard you four sing in harmony together easily "Why pretend we're all the same? When some of us shine brighter" Adiago sang as your gems glowed brightly as Aria, You, and Sonata sang "shining brighter" "Here's a chance to find your flame! Are you a loser or a fighter?" Adiago said smiling as your gems glowed slightly as you guys walked around the brozone boys who focused on you guys as you an small green mist surronded the group of five as they furrowed their eyebrows thinking to themselves glancing at eachother but baby branch looked around confused

- Clay stared at you the whole time as he gripped to the book as you smiled softly towards him

- You would invite him over to your sad book club and it would always end it with you crying together while cuddling

- When you two were talking about your book he couldn't help but pause when telling you about how in an story he read had these four sirens with these necklaces with an red jewel that would suck up peoples energy making them negative as they feasted on it... You realized then and there you realized you gave him an book about you and the Villans in equsteria

- Clay paused "Where you inspired by them?" you paused before nodding quickly "yeahhh!" Clay smiled "Well thats cool... whats even cooler is your necklace and how you acutally make it glow" Clay muttered reaching an hand towards it before pausing when noticing you shuffle back quickly

- He smiled "You know I like your role in your band... you fit well with my favorite siren who has the same name as you!" Clay said as you blushed lightly and smile towards him "Awww thanks Clay... I like you just as yourself instead of the fun one in your band" you said as clay blushed an deeply as he looked away "thanks... I wish they took me seriously like you do" "Do your brothers not take you seriously? you questioned as he looked away as you smiled "well they should cause this version of you is the one I like the most cause it's you" you said placing an hand on his forearm as he looked up to you

- Clay and you were pressing each others foreheads together smiling up at each other "(name) would you-" Sonata soon bursted into the room "(NAME) WE GOT AN PROBLEM ARIA IS TRYING TO KILL ME!" Sonata screamed running to you as you pulled away from clay quickly as Sonata used you as an meat shield while you screamed in fear as Aria ran inside the room with an Pan

- The day of the concert for Brozone to preform the perfect family harmony you and clay quickly hugged as clay sneakily kissed your cheek before pulling away you two giggling at eachother as clay smiled at you - Aria raised an eyebrow at you as you looked away awkwardly to avoid eye contact with her fellow dazzlings who soon focused on you and clay "It's good your here I can't deal with-" "Clay get back to doing your choreo!" John dory shouted as you deadpanned at John before looking at clay "It's nice to know that you missed me" Clay looked away "I didn't say-" "What the hell are you wearing!" You said cackling pointing down at Clays funderdrawers as Clay rolled his eyes smiling - Clay spoke "I have to get back to doing our choreo but I'll talk to you after okay? after we can talk about our recent book" Clay said as you grinned nodding at him as he left as Adiago placed an hand on your shoulder - "This is it, girls. The moment we've been waiting for." Adiago said as Aria rolled her eyes "So we're just gonna do what we always do? Stir up some trouble and then feed off the negative energy? Some plan, Adagio." you stared at Adiago confused "You've been getting close to that yellow headed troll we can use that" Adiago stated as the color drained from your face quickly - When brozone started preforming you smiled at Clay as he grinned at you when he was introduced and he did an peace sign sticking his tongue out he motioned towards you as you smirked doing the peace sign towards him

- Adiago, Aria, and Sonata smirked singing quietly as people stared up at brozone who had some... setbacks and crumpled on stage embarrassing themself as the dazzlings smirked as an green mist flowed towards their gems

- You frowned looking down to your gem as it glowed an bright ruby red as your fellow sirens giggled happily before Aria groaned "It's not enough of an meal though...." Aria grumbled crossing her arms as you sigh nodding "Adiago if we don't get enough we can't-" Adiago stared over at you with an deadpanned look as you sweatdropped - "Oh, no! No one's mingling! It's like there's some kind of underlying tension that could bubble to the surface at any minute!" Adiago said giggling while Sonata and Aria smirked yet you couldn't help but look at Clay with slight sadness Sonata placed an hand your shoulder "Whats with you face?" "I feel bad..." "what!" sonata exclaimed in shock

- Sonata stared at you with confusion as Aria furrowed her brows "You feel bad? What the hell" You stared over at Clay and his brothers who were fighting as Clay looked pissed off - You couldn't help but stare at them as they went walked away while your three friends left before Adiago raised an brow "(name) come" She called out as you paused before you rushed over to go to clay - You cupped his face as he stared up at you "Where are you going?" clay scoffed "far away from here I'm so sick of JD and his stupid" he sighed annoyed before staring at your face "(Name)" "Clay No I can't" You said as Clay groaned "please?" "no" you spoke softly as Clay sighed "Have you thought where your going... what about bitty b?" clay paused "I-" clay sighed "I dont know..."

"We call it the perfect family harmony" you said quickly as your three friends behind you smirked as you went off and started eating an sweet happily and playing with bitty B's tiny hands - "You'll have to excuse them. They're idiots." Adiago said crossing her arms witnessing you chase Sonata around cause she took your favourite sweet from you as you shouted at her bumping into floyd before apolgizing and rushing to Sonata as floyd smiled softly - Adiago noticed Floyd stare towards you as she smirked slowly something clicking in her mind... the sensitive one in brozone was interested in their (name)

- When brozone left floyd looked at you "Hey (name) right? your amazing at singing you ever want to... I dunno practice together? I wanted to get some tipss" you smiled at him nodding as he left with his brothers

- Adiago walked over with Sonata and Aria following behind staring down at you "I'm tired of fast food. I need a meal..." Aria said groaning "The energy in this world isn't the same as in Equestria. We can only gain so much power here." Adiago said checking her gem "I wish we'd never been banished to this awful place." Aria frowned as you nodded in agreement "Really I love it here!" Adiago said arvastically as Sonata stared confused "For realsies? Because I think this place is the worst." Sonata said confused as Aria scoffed crossing her arms "I think your the worst sonata" "oh yeah well I think your-" Adiago groaned shaking her head in annoyance "Ergh! I'll tell you one thing, being stuck here with you two isn't making this world any more bearable." Sonata stared confused "Two? but theres three?" "thats cause (Name) is my favourite" She said patting your head as you looked up smiling abit at the older girl while Aria and Sonata glanced at eachother before nodding in agrement

- Floyd couldn't help but smile "You should come to our next concert well john invited you gusy but I wanted to ask you yourself.." Floyd said proudly as he blushed as you smiled "Oh were counting on it" You said looking away with an sly smirk as floyd tilted his head confused

- the day of the concert you and your fellow dazzlings were allowed backstage to just give them an 'Pep' talk - Floyd couldn't help but notice how your fellow dazzlings were singing quietly "Why are the singing?" floyd muttered confused glancing towards you "Oh! they are just uhmmm they are setting an example...?" you said confused as floyd was gonna question your more "Five minutes!" an staff said as you turned back to floyd kissing his cheek and leaving - You went to the crowd and sat at the back to not be seen well as you four made sure not to be seen

- John was getting annoyed on how his brothers were imperfect but when he saw you in the crowd staring up at him he needed this to be perfect just for you... all that practice had to be worth it

Floyd looked down to the floor sighing gripping onto you aswell "(Name) I'm worried... that I-" floyd sighed as he just held onto your waist tightly before looking towards you as you tilted your head "I'll miss you" "I'll miss you too Floyd" - He kissed your forehead before pulling you away "Can we sing together once more?"

i plan on redesigning these 3 a this point so imma just post these ones here

basically almost like a bunch of months ago i made a happy future au where drones, worker and disassembly pretty much live in a society (no way incredible) and lineage of most of the main become influential families or smth

if you're wondering no these 3 arent directly nuzi children they're just in that lineage that last name was kinda kept but changed to dooress bc someone down the line found doorman cringe idk

important detail about hybrids: in short, bodies are separate from the system. systems can mix wd and dd coding but bodies have to be created to appeal to hybrid systems which in this not too long from its creation society (about like uhhhhh 200 years did I settle on? thats like a bunch of gens. enough for 2nd gen nuzi line to not be there i think.) hasn't been made yet. oh yeah dds look different all of them do to separate from the solver.

vera is a dd dominant wd hybrid. her system was incompatible with a wd body but with her dd body she cannot access certain functions. she is leading the drone defense force one of those dooress aimed positions. she doesn't really express herself much,,,really because of family pressure as she's the eldest current generation child in the family so a lot of expectations. i remember having a plot point where she couldn't hang out with a wd she had a crush on bc his family wasn't rich enough.

rocky is a regular dd. on the doc it says he leads a weapon manufacturing unit but i guess the day i drew this i was on construction. mmmmmmmm we'll see. hes stressed ah but plays it off with :D and a charming attitude (please help him). likes to pick on older sister, vera and rocky i think play fought a lot. his #1 argument is "you're short" ofc jokingly. yes i named him after rocky, whose va is kovach, the va of n. funny reference.

then theres my favorite, mina. she's a sort of therapist or counselor for solver drones and manages records on Mother Heir's (explaining later) to ensure they're doing fine, especially the Cyn ones. she's kinda n but would not take hate for an answer. she doesn't appear to be hurt by much and sometimes has a sort of aggressive happiness. like uhh you scream at her and she'll scream back in revenge or smth. lil gremlin.

well here's something I can do!

this is a little spin on an idea i've been seeing around that i think is wonderful... I personally, am not in the best financial place to be donating, but i can use my platform as a game developer to help out and do something cool at the same time :3

In exchange for donating esims to gaza, I'm gonna populate the world of Zephyr Star with your characters as NPCs! currently: OPEN!!

Here's the deal-- scurry on over to gazaesims.com to figure out how to buy and donate an esim to the people who need em-- any plan works for me, as long as you're gettin something out there!

then slip into my DMs (or anywhere else you can contact me directly) and show me a screenshot of the email, preferably with timestamps for proof that it's from after this post was posted... or really, any proof that you did do the thing-- also show me:

a reference image for what character you want me put in the game

what this character should say as an NPC (just a few lines at most) (optional; if you'd like i can just write some general dialogue instead)

how you would like to be credited in the in-game credits (ie what name i should put)

below the cut are some submission guidelines and extra notes, please also read that if you're interested :>

here are some general submission guidelines:

nothing too lewd, please!

or racist

or otherwise offensive

fandom ocs MIGHT be fine if they're Legally Distinct enough from the source material, but try not to get me sued here

In general, this game's world has No Humans, but that's not a strict requirement-- just a general suggestion

and keep in mind that characters with super intricate details might have to be simplified in order to work as pixel art

otherwise, anything works! furries, robots, sentient objects, your cat, whatever

and here's some notes, so you know what to expect:

i'll take anywhere between a few hours to a few days to finish, depends on how i'm feeling... either way, i'll tag you in a new post when i'm done!

the character will be done in small pixel art, with maybe some additional effects if i feel it works for the design

i will adjust the sprite size depending on the character-- an average sized character is drawn on a 32x32 canvas but if it's like a giant or really tall or something, i'd make it bigger so that the scale is accurate

everyone also gets a zoomed in headshot for the dialogue portrait

no secret bosses, shopkeepers, or other special story purpose for now, sorry! these are just some guys that stand around and say 1 or 2 lines as you go about your adventure

im putting the characters in various places at random, but if you want your guy to be in a certain type of location in-game let me know

this game is STILL in relatively early development-- but i do promise that each and every submission will be in there by the end! it might take yeaaaars for the full game to finally be out, but i'll be posting screenshots as I put em in the game so you know im not slacking around :>

and alongside the screenshot, i'll also post the sprites on their own if you'd like to save them for yourself

legal stuff uhhhhh im not good at legal stuff-- by participating, you are giving me permission to use your submitted character in the final game-- credit will be given in-game where you would expect to see it (the credits) and i will not claim ownership of any of your guys

(cartoon mafia boss voice) if at any point you want your character scrubbed out of the game, or you want anything changed, let me know in my DMs or anywhere else you can contact me and *click* *sinister laugh* we'll make it happen

no money goes to me ever, im not even gonna be the middlesnake between you and the esims-- i just think its less of a hassle to work this way -w-

did i get everything? i think that's everything... if i forgot something important sorry i'm a scatterbrain failgirl who has never done anything like this before im trying my best okay

may the rift be filled with your cool little guys! but more importantly, let's keep gaza connected! free palestine! 🍉
