title. genderbent

rating. T

characters. Epel Felmier (♀️)/June Himalia (♂️)

taglist. @ITSOCXCANONWEEK

Things change in the Genderbent AU to a certain extent in that the two play a little more into their personalities.

Jun (June) is a known Savanaclaw delinquent who starts fights for the smallest reasons and can't keep his anger in check at all, no matter how hard he tries to do that. It usually leads to him being ostracized by others because few people would want to be around such an obviously violent person. Though being a self-described loner seems to suit him to a certain extent, since he just spends his time in the botanical garden looking after the plants.

Apple (Epel) is a feisty Galdtrea girl who is enjoying the dorm life back at Walpurga Nacht Academy, where she can learn more about agriculture in order to help out her village. She's very outspoken and many comment that for such a cute girl, it's a shame that she's being such a tomboy. She tries not to let that bother her too much, since she doesn't care about being feminine either way.

Their first meeting ended up in a big screaming match between the two about plant care and proper maintenance, and it surprised Jun to see this small girl actually stand up to him when most people even tended to avoid him by default. But it spark a rather fascinating relationship between them, since he fell head over heels for her, and Apple enjoyed the fact that for such a "brute" he tends to be a pretty mellow guy and let himself be a follower rather than a leader.

The height difference between them is pretty big, but it's clear that Apple is the one in charge and it's really a sight to see this lumbering, giant guy be bossed around by his tiny girlfriend. Though anybody who dares point that out might not live long enough to laugh about it.

Title: Get out of here, Floyd. Go home.

Rating: Mature

Word Count: 1311

Characters: Floyd Leech, Kalim Al-Asim, Kore Hightower (mentioned) Yoru Crowley (mentioned), June Himalia (mentioned)

Summary: A Floyd POV from the end of the mafia war. Floyd is dragged from the wreckage of the accident that should have killed him only to be brought to Kalim who decides to spare his life.

Warnings: Excessive swearing, descriptions of gore.

The whole thing had been a fucking trap and he’d walked right into it. Floyd couldn’t believe that fucking Kalim Al Asim, more cotton candy in his head than brains had gotten one over on him.

walpurga-nacht-academy:💐 for Cass with Emma and Peko? 🍲 for June and Aiden?

Giving Flowers 💐

To thank Cass for her Support, Peko and Emma decided to invite her V.I.P. for Their next Concert. After both finished their Acts on Stage, Cass visited them Backstage, holding a Yellow and a Purple Bouquet for them. Emma and Peko revealed to have a Bouquet of Roses for her as Well.

"Guess we both had the same Idea. " Emma chuckled.

"I-I wanted to thank you for this w-wonderfull Invitation to your Concert... You guys are Always so Cheerfull and encourage me... T-thank you."

Peko gave her a Hug and Emma joined in.

"No thank you, Thanks to fans like you we are motivated to continue our music even through hardships... So thanks a bunch."

They all started to kinda tear up. Emma found hope that there is still Fans that dont have Bad Intentions and that Peko does have a better Future one day...

🍲Cooking

"So June, how about we try out a new recipe to cook today?" Aiden approached her after classes because He found some interesting flowers and ingredients on his hunt.

"You mean Cooking or... 'our usual'?"

She smirked a bit at him while He blushed a Bit.

"Maybe a bit of both. But my main thing is today I found some herbs that are rare to find. And.... I kinda missed doing something with you If I am honest."

"Then what are we waiting for."

[girl-in-the-tower]

🔄 any of our ships

Thank you for the ask!

I was thinking maybe June and Aiden in the world of Genshin Impact might be interesting! 

I feel that given June’s UM she would have an Electro vision, and wield a big ass Claymore since fist-fighting doesn’t seem to be an option in the game yet, lol. She’d probably hail from Fontaine and be the anti-thesis of the sophistication and beauty that is associated with that place. 

I can see them being a duo of travelling cooks, braving the wilderness in search for ingredients and experimenting with their cooking. June doesn’t like interacting with people so she lets Aiden handle the customers, while she prefers doing deliveries.

Given her lifestyle she probably is used to fighting hilichurls, but doesn’t mean she finds them any less creepier. They probably try to steer clear of them for the most part, and just avoid contact altogether. 

June doesn’t really care for the political issues or crisis that are going on in Teyviat, to tell the truth, and rather just wants to get on with her life and live it to its best. She still has anger issues, but is trying her best to keep them in check even if she messes that up quite a lot of the time. She’s gained quite a reputation as a fearsome warrior chef that will throw down with anybody at any time.

WNA HALLOWEEN - THE GREAT HIDE & SEEK HUNT!

Did you know that there’s an old legend surrounding the town of Brocken? Apparently a long, long time ago a rich girl was waiting for her beloved to return from his exhibition up the mountain. He claimed that there was gold up there, enough to buy the whole town and finally be worthy of her hand. The girl was beside herself with joy at the prospect - ever since they met, she wanted nothing more than to marry her lover and live happily ever after. Finally, it seemed that her wish would come true.

Unfortunately it was merely a dream. Her beloved went up the mountain but never returned. She waited years and years and years for him, but no matter how much she hoped and prayed she never saw him again. Some claim that the mountain took him. Some say that he ran away to marry another. Others even claimed they saw his ghost wandering around on Halloween looking for his way home. However, the truth remains the same - the lovers were never able to be reunited and the would-have-been bride mourned for him all her life. Dressed in black, she wandered the halls without uttering a single word. Until a tragedy befell her - what sort of tragedy? Well, here it starts to get interesting, my dear. For you see - her body was never actually recovered.

Thus, in this year’s edition of Halloween, the eight dorms of Walpurga Nacht Academy would like to invite you on a little hunt! Go forth and as the faithful lover attempt to reunite with the beloved bride and discover just what tragedy has befallen her in your absence! But make sure to make haste and be cautious, for the halls of this mansion are crawling with ferocious imps ready to throw you out once they catch sight of you! And if they do, you can never return back!

Of course, you will not be left helpless, for you will be allowed two useful tools: a bell to drive away the imps once you have caught them and a guide to open the door to the chamber where your beloved lies!

Now, the only question that remains: will you make it there in time?

Stay inside the shadows, all you girls and boys/ Don't you make a noise, or I am going to find you~

RULES

In order to participate, the guests must buy a ticket for the event!

The rules of the event are simple! Participants must scour the old mansion for clues as to where the Lost Bride is hiding while making sure to avoid capture by the students dressed up as the imps. In order to make sure the rules are respected, Nisse Tomte are found through every nook and cranny observing the going-ons. Once they discover that a student was caught by the imps they throw them out of the mansion as they have been compromised.

The game lasts from dusk until midnight when the chime of the clock indicates that the last ones standing have won the game.

You can either win the game by making sure to avoid detection by the imps until midnight, or by finding the chamber of the Lost Bride.

Once a guest has reached the entrance of the chamber they must wait for the Guide (Yuuki Tsukino) to open the door. Forcing the entry open will result in a disqualification!

Magic is forbidden here! Moreover, so are phones as they will be considered akin to cheating. All caught breaking the rules are disqualified immediately.

Once a guest catches an imp, they attach a little bell to their dress! The imps are still allowed to move after, but it will be easier for guests to navigate the manor after as they will be alerted by the sound.

THE LOST BRIDE

None is more pitiful than the bride who wasted away waiting for her beloved to return - but the manner in which she did so is rather mysterious. None are sure how or when it happened, but suddenly one day she was simply gone. And thus several theories have been born -

THE BRIDE OF ROSES

The students of Rosenhex would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance in the rose garden, where among the bushes and greenery you will find your beloved lying in a grave of roses, the thorns and vines covering her entire body as the last proof of love she will ever give.

Now, awaken your bride!

ROSA: My love- I knew you would come for me at last! Even as the years got harder, I never gave up hope. I closed my ears to the vile rumours they spread about you, and to the doubt that blossomed in my heart as well. I knew that only death could keep you apart from me. So, without any other choice, I’ve decided to let myself be swallowed by the earth as well in hopes of reuniting with you also. It seems my prayers have been answered at last.

THE HANGING BRIDE

The students of Grimmaire would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance in the library, where among the shelves and paintings you will be witness to a gruesome sight - the corpse of your beloved strung up by the noose. Dangling in the air, she makes for horrifying scenery as she opens her eyes, and addresses you full of resentment.

Now, awaken your bride!

BLANCHE: To think that you would dare to set foot here again, you scoundrel. Were the years I have wasted on you not enough? Was my sacrifice in vain after all? I waited for you all this time, hoping you would return and at the end of my life, I realized I wasted it all. What a poor and pitiful soul I must have been, chasing after shadows and false promises at last. But no matter what, at least it seems that you have fared no better than I.

THE BURNING BRIDE

The students of Kriegskald would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the courtyard, where you’ll see the bride strung up on a pyre. When you approach closer, the body bursts into flames and is completely disintegrated by the temperature, yet somehow a voice still calls out to you from the carnage.

Now, awaken your bride!

MARCIA: Love - to think you would return to me after all this time. It’s a pity our meeting couldn’t have happened sooner. You see, after you disappeared rumours started going around that I bewitched you and sent you in search of gold. They claimed I was a temptress set out to destroy the town and the only way to protect themselves was to punish me for my sins. But that I got to see you here in my last moments should surely speak of my innocence, is that not so?

THE IRON BRIDE

The students of Galdtrea would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the basement, where you’ll find a most peculiar chamber. It is filled to the brim with tools and off contraptions, and in the middle, there’s an old Iron Maiden, that reeks of blood and carnage. As you approach it, a voice calls out to you, filled with fury.

Now, awaken your bride!

JUNE: So yer- So you returned? You dare show your face here after you abandoned me? After you decided to up and- to desert me like the lowly scoundrel that you are?! And what have you returned for? To gloat to me about how wealthy and happy your life has become? You bas- You monster! I will make you rue the day you betrayed my- my love!

THE DEMURE BRIDE

The students of Monarchia would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the parlour where you’ll find a young woman having tea by the window. She seems frozen in place and mournful, her gaze betrayed the toll the years have had upon her and when she addresses you, she seems almost content. There is no horror that awaits you, you think, until you notice the crib in the corner.

Now, awaken your bride!

DIANA: Love. How odd - I had come to accept my fate of the widow. But now you return. I have waited for you all these years. I had hoped you would come to find me, though I knew that only death could keep you apart. I’m sorry. I wished the three of us could have spent our days together, but in the end…

THE SLEEPING BRIDE

The students of Oraluna would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth in the sleeping chamber where you’ll find a young woman resting among the silk and satin. She looks cold to the touch, like a corpse frozen, but when she opens her eyes, you’re shocked to see the light and warmth in them. She smiles at you and reaches for your hands.

Now, awaken your bride!

CASSANDRA: Um, th-thank you for coming back, my lo-lo-lo-lo-love. I-I have waited for ma-many years, for you to return, um. Even when they said I should lo-lo-lose hope, I never faltered… That is, until, they brought ba-ba-back your watch. The one I had gifted to you when we promised we would we-we-we-we-wed… Um!! Upon seeing such proof, I could lie to myself anymore, and from a broken he-he-heart I have fallen into a deep slumber… I’m so-sorry…

THE BRIDE WHO POISONED

The students of Eliksia would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth into the kitchen where you’ll find a young woman hunched over a cauldron. There is a foul smell emanating from it and as you glance around you notice all sorts of elixirs and potions are strewn around. And are those bones in the corner? No, surely not.

Now, awaken your bride!

AGATHA: Welcome… ehehehehe… I… have… waited… so… long… for… you… my… love… Too… long… to… even… remember… when… I… started… to… turn… out… like… this… They… all… said… that… you… deserted… me… but… that’s… not… true… is… it… ? They… all… just… sought… to… keep… us… apart… that’s… why… I… made… sure… they’ll… pay… for… it… ehehhehehehehehe…

THE ETERNAL BRIDE

The students of Noctasis would like to invite you, brave lover, to advance forth into the old family crypt where the cold will freeze your bones and incite you to all manners of horrors. It seems deserted, only perhaps the corpses and skeletons keeping you company, but as you walk deeper in you soon realize it is not so. A woman stands up suddenly and welcomes you warmly, despite the paleness of her visage which makes your blood curdle. What is she doing here among these corpses and old bones?

Now, awaken your bride!

VITA: My heart~ You have at last returned, just as I knew you would. After all, death is nothing but an obstacle for us who love each other so truly. The years have been long and the wait was painful but as you can see - it did not conquer me at all. Just like, I have become eternal~ So, then, my heart, come, let us join together amidst these bones and all this grime. Is that not what you are here for, after all~

OUTFITS

No hunt is truly complete without a nice outfit, and Walpurga Nacht has made sure to provide only the best for its students and guests alike. The dresses of the brides were sewn together by the Nisse Tomte, as were those of the students playing the imps. The material is black to represent the mourning state she was in until her death, and clothes pertaining to her own wardrobe were chosen as examples.

The Brides.

The Imps.

The Hunters.

PRIZES

Participating in the hunt isn't just a good way of spending Halloween night doing something exciting with friends, but also to win the chance to visit the grounds of Walpurga Nacht Academy on your own! Those who manage to outlast the imps during the chase will be rewarded with a few magic items chosen at their discretion, but those who find the chamber of the bride will be awarded a tour of Walpurga Nacht's interior including the main campus, its courtyard and the opportunity to chat with one of the Prefects at their own dorm!

Moreover, all profits made from this event will go towards the upkeep of Brocken's landmarks and monuments!

[azusawrites]

POCKY DAY

A/N: It's Pocky Day so I wanted to take advantage of it to write a little fluff for them! Of course, some of them ended up being more comedic than others, but that's just the way it is, hehe!

GOLDTOWER

WHO WINS: Kore

FLAVOUR: Strawberry

He's trying. He's really trying his absolute best here to follow the rules of the game. Kore knows this so when he breaks the stick again for the fifth time since they started playing, and goes straight for the kiss she doesn't even chide him anymore. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she just pulls him closer and lets herself melt in the kiss.

When they part, Kalim reaches out for the pack next to them and shakes it. He frowns when he hears nothing rattling inside.

"Did we run out of it?"

"Well," Kore says. "You did eat a bunch before we started."

Kalim laughs. "That was before I knew we were going to play this game!"

"It wasn't really a game. You just went straight for the kiss each time!"

He smiles at her and squeezes her waist slightly. With her legs on either side of him, she thinks that she would have a lot of explaining to do if anybody caught them like this, but Kalim seems entirely at ease. It calms her too.

"I really did, didn't I? But every time I thought I would do better, I saw your lips and couldn't hold back, hahaha! Hm? You've gone entirely red. Did I say something weird?"

She only heard his laughter resounding around the room, as she buried her face in his neck. He brings her closer as he trails kisses along the side of her neck and she struggles to keep from giggling. His honesty was going to kill her one day and she wouldn't even mind it. After all, nothing compared to the feeling of being loved so candidly by somebody else.

WOLFBEAUTY

WHO WINS: Jack

FLAVOUR: Peach

"Ugh! Why are you so good at this game!" Rosa complains, a pout already forming on her face. "Aren't younger guys supposed to be timider?"

Jack simply stars in return. "It's only a one year difference..."

He doesn't add that maybe it was just that she was quite easily flustered by these sorts of things which he never really understands the purpose of, but still does because it makes her happy. Except that it wasn't really working right now, what with her crossing her arms and pouting. There are still a few crumbs in the corner of her mouth. By instinct, he licks the same spot as he stares at her. Telling her how cute that looked would only just upset her, so he refrains for now.

"Hmph! That doesn't matter! One year is still one year! So yo-you should be more bashful!"

He nods. "I'll try to keep that in mind."

That seems to appease her somewhat. His traitorous tail is already twitching in delight. She must have leaned over to grab another packet (for some reason she brought six of them) when his arm wraps around her waist to pull her closer, so he could kiss the spot he had noticed earlier. He feels his face turn red and watches her own slowly start to match his.

"We-Well," she speaks loudly and fast, crushing the packet in her grasp. "I-I think that's enough sweets for today! I'm not a big fan of them anyway, you know? A star has to keep her figure and my intake of sugar is-"

Even her lips tasted like peaches now, and if anybody asked him he wouldn't have admitted he preferred it compared to the real thing.

ROSEDOLL

WHO WINS: ?

FLAVOUR: Dark Chocolate

"What a ridiculous game," he tells her as he turns the page. Blanche gives out a hum of acknowledgement as the tip of her pen moves swiftly across the paper. "I can't understand the purpose at all."

"I think it's merely another way of gauging out who's bolder," she says. Riddle frowns as he thinks about her words. It made sense, in its own way, but surely there would be less outrageous ways to achieve the same result. He pauses. No, no matter how he thinks about it it's still a waste of time.

"Cater seemed really eager to try it out," Blanche continues. His face starts to turn red in response, as he remembers the shameless way that Cater proposed the notion to the girls of Grimmaire when they first came to the dorm. They hadn't paid him attention, but Riddle was still aghast at the thought. Walpurga Nacht was their sister school. To display that sort of indecency would look bad on not only them but the dorm and school as a whole.

"I'll make sure to properly scold him later on," he promises her. "As his Prefect, it's my responsibility to whip him in shape. So incidents like this won't happen again."

He forces himself to keep a stern face as she laughs. It is soft and muted, but in the silence of the library, he can hear it clearly. "Don't be too harsh on him. I think the girls were just as amused. To tell you the truth, they're not as proper as they might seem. Also."

She pulls out a small box from her bag and puts it next to him on the table. The tip digs a bit in his hand, but his eyes are too busy trying to make out the words on the front. He's too busy fighting off the blush that threatens to completely overtake him when her hand rests over him.

"A little break wouldn't be so bad, I think. We can count this as research into youth culture."

"I heard it's important."

"Very much so."

HARVESTAPPLE

WHO WINS: Epel

FLAVOUR: Chocolate Banana

He's immediately shot down.

"'he fuck? 'hat sounds stupid," June tells him as she lifts up the prop and moves it to the left. Epel thinks he can hear Rook shouting in the distance, calling out for the 'Amazon' but if that's so, she pays it no mind. The rest of the Pomefiore students are keeping their distance from them, perhaps out of reverence (or fear) of her. Everybody except Vil, who's too busy chewing out another actor for forgetting his lines. Again.

"Ace told me about it," Epel explains. It does do much except make her grunt. The subject of Ace is not something she's interested in, after all. "Said he heard it from Cater, who saw it on MagiCam. Guess there's all sorts of trends nowadays..."

"City folk ain't got anythin' better to do," she spits out with a grimace. With narrowed eyes, she seems to survey him. The back of his neck is getting sweaty and the box in his pocket is suddenly a lot heavier. "And why'd ya bring it up, anyway? Huh? Whatcha want?"

"I- I mean, I received a box and-"

"No way." She immediately turns around, though he can see the tips of her ears turn red and her hands shaking. She really wasn't good at bluffing her way out of things. "I ain't doin' 'hat. Piss off."

He pauses. He thinks. Then after a brief moment gathers all his wits and hopes he plays it right. "If you're scared you'd lose, you can just admit it, you know?"

It works. She freezes, looks back and him with a snarl and snatches away the box he's holding now towards her. "Ya fuckin' pipsqueak - 'he fuck are ya so smug about? Huh? 'hen ya're basically the size of a fuckin' termite? I'll fuckin' teach ya what's 'hat-"

He smirks. "Sure, let's see you try. Though if you back down, it's my win. Remember that!"

She didn't seem to - or maybe it was just nerves. For such a tall girl she seemed to get flustered by the oddest things. But it suited him fine, he figured. It meant she took him seriously and didn't treat him like porcelain. He was a guy in her eyes.

WILDOCTO

WHO WINS: Azul (?)

FLAVOUR: Cookies and Cream

"Absolutely not," Azul says with the same tone of disgust that he might use if somebody had suggested he donate all his profits to charity. Fiddling with his glasses, he takes to wiping the lenses clean as Diana hoists herself up on his desk. He glares at her - weakly - but since it's just them in the VIP Lounge today, he doesn't voice any objections. Except those related to the packet she has in her hand. "I don't have time for this sort of frivolous things, Diana. Not to mention it would interfere with my calorie intake and just be a waste of food."

She nods, eyes trained on him as always. "I see. So you don't want to play."

"I think I made that perfectly clear."

"Mm. Then I'll go find somebody else."

He starts to smile, then pauses. "Excuse me?"

"My little sisters got me this because they said it would be fun. I don't want to waste their good wishes." She shrugs. "I wanted to do it with you, but since you don't want to, I'll look for somebody else-"

"Wait," Azul says. His face might be turning some shade of pink, but he would be loath to admit to such a thing any time soon. Besides Diana would have noticed by now. She had this annoying habit of being too observant for his liking. "I can't let you run around and scandalize the patrons of the Lounge like that."

"I can go outsid-"

"Or anybody else from Night Raven." Reaching over he grabs the packet and scowls at the flavour. He might as well just eat a bag of sugar instead. The effect would be the same. "If it keeps you from causing trouble, I'll play along with you. Just know that I won't go easy at all."

He swears he saw her smirks. But it's gone far too soon to be sure and he doesn't want to look like a fool by implying anything. Instead, he takes satisfaction in the knowledge that he already figured out her plan - she simply sought to fluster him a bit and edge him as well. Maybe even get him to kiss her. Well, she was sorely mistaken if she thought he would let her play out her little fantasy like that.

Their proximity is still something that leaves him rather flustered, but he manages to push past that and focus on the pace at which he's moving. He has to keep things steady, keep himself focused and only then can he-

The sound he makes when her lips capture his is something that must never leave this room. That's the only thing going through his head. That and the fact that the flavour isn't that bad. And that Diana has nice lips, even if they're a bit chapped. And that he got duped again, though he isn't that upset about it.

She licks her lips when they part and the sight almost leaves him breathless. "I lost. Can I have a rematch?"

"You-" he starts to say something but isn't sure what. When she moves to straddle him, he tries to remember if the door was locked or not. Then immediately forgets about it as the taste of artificial sugar and she becomes overwhelming.

SILVERFEY

WHO WINS: ?

FLAVOUR: Pizza

Silver has remarked that for all the complaining and whining Sebek does in regards to the other first years, he still hangs around with them. It seems almost strange how he himself hasn't noticed it but his father did advise not to bring it up. Apparently, Sebek was still young and had a lot to learn. Judging by the way he kept ranting for half an hour about this game that Ace told them about and then for another when he noticed Silver had fallen asleep halfway through his explanations, he figured his father was right.

"Um, wa-was the game a fun o-one?" He doesn't get worried about Cassandra's tendency to stutter whenever she talks. It used to bother him a bit at first, but now he hardly paid it any mind. Besides she does it far less now than back when they first met each other. Though it seems it's only like this with him. That he does find a little odd.

"Hm, I can't really remember," he says. Taking the Mazariner she offers, he makes sure the little blanket is properly covering her legs before he bites into it. "He made it sound like it was a game of deceit. Maybe a prank?"

"Oh," she replies as she fiddles with the thermos. Cassandra made good coffee, though she herself never drank it, so he always looked forward to these picnics that they had. "That doesn't sound ve-very nice. Making fun of pe-people isn't... very good, right?"

"I guess," he says. "Though Fa- I mean, Lilia-sempai does play them on us from time to time."

She's quiet for a moment. He can see the cogs spinning inside, then her mouth moves into a grimace and he feels bad. Maybe he shouldn't have said that. "Oh, um, I suppose that fa-fairies do tend to like that so-sort of thing. They might find it no-normal after all."

"Not all fairies," he quickly adds. "I don't think it's standard for them. Or the majority. You'll be fine. I think."

"Oh, re-really?" She gives a tentative smile. "I hope to learn a lo-lot from Mister Vanrouge and Lo-Lord Draconia about fairies. Um, I think then I-I would get along better with e-everybody..."

They don't say anything for a while. Then Silver shifts slightly and feels the tip of something jabbing his thigh. It's a box Lilia had left with him when he heard that he'll see Cassandra today. He isn't sure why, but Silver does remember seeing his father smile in a mysterious, incomprehensible way.

"Lilia-sempai gave me this," he says handing her the box. She takes it and reads the lettering carefully before glancing back at him. "I'm not sure what for, but you can have it if you want to. The flavour is strange so maybe you can use it to prank people. Like he does." Yes, that makes sense. That was why he received this odd box.

This time Cassandra smiles more genuinely and it sets his heart at ease. She cradles the box close to her chest and she begins to formulate with him pranks that would require the use of the box, though he doesn't get farther than four or five sentences before he falls asleep. She leans over to touch his shoulder every time it happens and he bolts awake, grateful for her patience.

It ends up being a nice picnic again.

BLACKFLAME

WHO WINS: Idia (?)

FLAVOUR: Whiskey

"I'm busy," Idia immediately replies. He doesn't even take his eyes off his console to look at her, though when she presses against him from behind he almost jumps out of his chair. Vita is grinning like a cat even when he turns back to scowl at her. "I'm close to clearing this level. Go play with somebody else."

He makes a shooing motion towards her, but quickly stops when she grabs his hand and intertwines their fingers. They're cold, like usual, and he can already tell the tips of his hair are turning pink.

"My love~ It would be most unnatural if I were to do that when you are already here. Do you not think so~?" she purrs out in the same tone she always does when she sets out to tease him. Though now that she's actually moving to sit in his lap, he figures she might actually be quite serious about it all. "After all, we are to share everything together. No?"

"I-I think we can pass on this one!" he stammers out with less confidence than he intended but doesn't move to push her off. Taking a lot at the box, his eyes narrow. "And how did you even bring this here? I never even knew they made this flavour..."

"'Tis a little secret~" she says. "But, if my beloved does not wish to engage, I shall not insist. I do not wish to scare you, after all."

He pauses. "What's that supposed to mean?"

"Oh, nothing at all. Do ignore this slip of the tongue." She smirks and he feels himself getting heated. "I simply do not wish to cast you in an... unfavourable light."

"As a what?"

"A coward. I understand it must be quite unbearable to fear defeat to such a degree that you would not even attempt a 'children's game'."

Idia exhales softly through his nose. When he hoists her closer, she gives out a little squeak he knows she put on for show but doesn't care about it. Not now. Getting riled up like this is doing nothing but playing in her hands, but now that he's worked up, he can't really back down. "Give me that box. And get ready to be humbled!"

He proceeds carefully, keeping eye contact though his hands are digging in her sides, and just before he thinks he'll give up she suddenly breaks off.

"Oh, no~ It seems that my nerves have gotten the best of me this time. May I try again, my love?"

"Huh? I-I mean, sure." He isn't sure why she's putting on the show, but his ego is certainly being inflated right now. He doesn't even notice that each time their lips are getting close enough to touch she breaks off but has her arms slowly wrapping around his shoulders. He thinks he's going to win and is already thinking of what victory phrases he's going to use when he beats her, but suddenly, she's not backing away when she breaks off and he feels her lips and her body pressing against his own. The chair he's in almost topples over and he's holding onto her like a lifeline, while he's marvelling at how she makes the flavour taste like candy.

When she breaks off the kiss, he moves to follow after but stops. "Congratulations, my love~ It seems that you have once again won~"

"That's-That's obvious, heh," he mutters without much conviction. Licking his lips, he wonders how many boxes she might have brought with her.

I love thissssss!! Thank you for drawing June!!  ❤️ ❤️  ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

Got a new mechanical pencil, so I drew a bunch of girls (and Jamil) to test it out.

@twstankin @just-patchy @twistedikon @jhoudiey @walpurga-nacht-academy

[jhoudiey]

walpurga-nacht-academy: 👁‍🗨 for Amon and any of the WNA girls?

Lets play a game of how long Amon is allowed on WNA campus before the Nisse Tomte roll his ass down the hill in a barrel...

Rosalia: He had heard about her Witch's dance and thought she'd be much more... impressive than she is, finds her forgettable.

Blanche: An easy target, and will likely give him the exact reactions he'd be looking for. Hasn't been allowed to torment her as he would want because the noise is disturbing to others as well.

Marcia: He thinks she's hilarious and loves her dedication to the hustle. Offered her madol in exchange for taking part in some of his experiments, which she graciously declined.

June: Her finds her strength very exciting and very likely got kicked off of campus for pushing her buttons to see it at it's full potential. He finds her a bit unhinged and loves how easy she is to set off. If he were straight he'd have a huge crush on her.

Diana: He finds her very disconcerting but also very interesting. He likes the animalistic energy, but suspects she'd fight back too much to be of any fun.

Cassandra: Who? Not interested.

Agatha: Thinks she's hilarious, she has a lot of spunk for someone so small and would love to test her limits because he suspects she talks a bigger talk than her walk.

Vita: He would kill to get her hands on her magic, and loves her energy. Like, anyone else with a strong personality and an impressive magic he wants to completely destroy her and watch her squirm. He finds her incredibly intimidating in the most complimentary way, and loves to watch her command others.

[girl-in-the-tower]

Ok, so I’ve been planning my next few months for the past week to take into account my writing schedule and I think I finally came up with something that might be feasible! In other words, this is an announcement of what my (hopefully achievable) goals will be!

The first section is fics that are in the process of being complete or in the editing process already, with only the third and fourth being in the planning stages! The word count is all over the place for these ones, lol, but hopefully I’ll be able to keep it somewhat consistent.

The second section was pretty much born out of a need to try out flash fiction after I’ve been binging it for a while. The themes and characters chosen were things or themes that just appealed to me! Titles are still undecided for this section, so instead I decided to include the sentence that made me think I should give this a try! I will try to keep to the proposed word limit simply because I was to challenge myself.

The last section is something I’ve been thinking of for a while now, simply because summer does inspire a theme of love in me, haha! It’s centered on the WNA girls and the various relationships (romantic and platonic) that they share with the canon characters. They’ll most likely going to be rather short, very descriptive and primarily fluff! 

Upcoming

❀ something in the way she knows - R18, ship fic, Azul Ashengrotto/Diana Arrow

❀ at the foot of this mountain, i only see clouds - T, gen fic, Malleus Draconia & Kore Hightower

GAIA - Jupiter LX (S/2003J3)

GAIA - Jupiter LX (S/2003J3) ▶ https://MoonsOfJupiter.lnk.to/GAIAYA A two-man front line, DJ/producer Armin van Buuren and producer Benno de Goeij (Rank 1) have been recording and producing since the ‘90s, the time when Armin van Buuren produced his signature song ‘Communication’, and when Benno de Goeij created masterpieces such as ‘Airwave’ and ‘Such Is Life’ as one half of Rank 1. Their collaboration stems from 2006 and after producing numerous successful albums and a variety of hit singles together, the duo created a new electronic act that captures the synthesis between the old and new. GAIA is an alter ego that gives both producers the freedom to explore other universes that they normally wouldn’t go to in other projects. Armin: “Throughout the years, we created a variety of synths, beats and loops that were more underground and not always useable for my sound and genre. We always had so much fun exploring different genres and charting different loops and sounds that we felt it was time to combine this under the name GAIA.” Known for creating dance music that transcends genres, GAIA don’t shy away from experimenting with sounds from the underground of dance. With exclusive live performances at Ultra Music Festival Miami (2014), Amsterdam Dance Event (2015) and on Amsterdam’s Paradiso grounds (2018), they showcased a unique blend of their greatest hits (e.g. ‘Tuvan’, ‘Crossfire’), unreleased tracks and impeccable visuals, mixed as striking and artfully as the music itself. Benno: "We’ve really stepped out of our comfort zone, exploring both minimalistic as well as complex sounds, creating track arrangements live on stage rather than in the studio. We even created our own hardware, giving us all the freedom to take people on the journey to the Moons Of Jupiter." With their first-ever album, ‘Moons Of Jupiter’ (released on 21st of June, 2019), GAIA shows that music doesn’t have any boundaries. Their sound has gone far beyond Trance music alone; it’s made for those who have learned to listen between the lines, which shines through in their unique live shows as they take listeners on a journey out of this world and into a new one. So go ahead and explore the universe that GAIA so thoughtfully created. Chances are you’ll find out that everything is connected beautifully one way or another. TRACKLIST 1. GAIA - Metis 2.

title. our bodies and other tales of lust

rating. M, R18

characters. Epel Felmier/June Himalia

summary. [R18] Epel appreciates the fact that his girlfriend's body is a mountain he has to conquer.

MINORS DNI

Epel measures the length of his fingers against hers and is surprised to see how small the difference is. Not to misunderstand – his hands could stretch thrice as much and it would still not cover hers entirely, but it does not bother him, this difference. This clear distinction that their bodies provide and remind them of every time he sees her undress, muscles rippling as she takes off her shirt and the tights and boots and every single thing that might have shielded her from his gaze. June’s always been a difficult girl. The sort that back at home they’d call full of mischief and too eager to cause trouble. And she was in a way – tall, hard, tough, with pretty eyes and legs that had clearly carried the strain of living on a farm that was so familiar and so different from his own.

It’s the little differences that matter to him. The oft-forgotten little facts that sometimes keep him up at night as he traces the lines on her body with fingers too light to even make her notice it. Her back is a constellation of scars and marks, each fainter and darker than the others. He starts to count them and stops by ten because it would seem as good a place as any to ponder on the little tragedies that might have led to her facing away from him the first few times that they make love together in his room, to her holding him tightly as he buries his face in her chest. She’s a pretty girl. He wants to tell her that because she has cute lashes and her eyes always look clear, like thunder after rain which makes him think of summer. She smells like summer too – of dirt and sweat and petunias all mixed together under a sheen of anger so potent that it drives him over the edge with expectations.

GALDTREA DORM - BIRTHDAY VENUE

SCENE I

PUPPET: [Upon this blessed day, we bring to you an offering that seeks to satisfy your whims. On behalf of us, servants, we present to you the one which the fates considered worthy: RIDDLE ROSEHEARTS.]

RIDDLE: Happy Birthday. Thank you for having me today.

JUNE: Ugh.

RIDDLE: Pardon. Is there a problem?

JUNE: ... Nah. Forget it. Sit down.

RIDDLE: ... Very well. Thank you again for inviting me over today.

JUNE: It wasn't me.

RIDDLE: I'm sorry?

JUNE: I said it wasn't me. Ya deaf or somethin', huh? I ain't gonna repeat myself!

Settin' up all 'his shit like it actually means anythin', ugh... I told them I don't wanna celebrate my birthday and still...

RIDDLE: I understand... In any case, I was really surprised when the puppet came to summon me like this. I never heard of such an invitation procedure before, to be honest. Though I suppose all sort of odd figures could be unearthed from among the world nowadays. There are rumours of an expedition team seeking out an old kingdom that was said to be submerged underwater, did you know?

JUNE: The hell do I care about 'hat shit? It ain't got nothin' to do with me.

RIDDLE: ... That's true, I suppose.

JUNE: ....

RIDDLE: ...

JUNE: ...

RIDDLE: ... The venue looks very nice.

JUNE: It's fine, I guess.

RIDDLE: ... I understand that Galdtrea is the dorm that specializes in caring for plants and magical herbs. We at Heartslaybyul also take care of our own rose garden and maze as decreed by the Queen of Hearts. It's really a lot of hard work. Plants are more fickle than I imagined, but it is very rewarding when they grow up and bloom.

JUNE: ...

RIDDLE: I have a lot of respect for people who dedicate themselves to such a craft.

JUNE: Tch. It ain't 'hat hard to look after stuff. Ya city folks are spoiled, 'hat's all. The venue today... The girls just all worked together for some reason to set it up. It's just some magical plants and all. Ain't 'hat fuckin' hard to realize, ya know?

Can't ya fuckin' tell for yerself, huh?

RIDDLE: That!

JUNE: HUH?!

RIDDLE: ... No, it's still a celebration so it wouldn't do to lose my temper here...

JUNE: WHATCHA SAY, HUH?!

RIDDLE: I was led to understand from this puppet that it was customary to bring a small gift to these events. However, it could not be something that could be bought. It was quite difficult to think of a gift that would be suitable for this occasion, but still, I think that perhaps I have managed to conform to the rules.

JUNE: ... 'hat's this?

RIDDLE: An apple pie that I made myself. Trey informed me that this is your favourite dessert so I thought it might be appropriate for the occasion.

JUNE: ...

RIDDLE: ... It's at least polite to thank somebody for going through all of this. The Queen's rules state that-

JUNE: It's dry.

RIDDLE: !!!

JUNE: It's dry. Tastes off. And ya didn't use the right kind of apples either.

RIDDLE: Dry? Tastes off? The apples?

... Those were the only kind available...

JUNE: Tch. Fuckin' city boys and their shitty apples. Ain't nobody taught you how to cook either, huh?! Ain't ya 17 or somethin'?!

RIDDLE: That's- !!! I will not stand for this sort of-

JUNE: Ya let the crust burn. Ya gotta watch 'hat carefully or it all goes up in flames, ya got it?! Come.

RIDDLE: Come? What are you talking about? Where should I come? Wait! Where are you-

JUNE: I'mma teach ya how to actually fuckin' bake somethin' right since 'hat four-eyes can't even do it by himself. Bet he just sits 'here with his dumb smug face and makes shitty jokes. Who'd be dumb enough to fall for oyster sauce in tarts, huh?!

RIDDLE: ...

JUNE: STOP STALLIN' AND GET A MOVE ON ALREADY! I AIN'T GOT ALL DAY!

... I'd rather be done payin' ya back already so we can move on with this shit.

SCENE II

RIDDLE: That was a very informative crash course, June-senpai. It always struck me as such, but you seem like a very capable person. Being able to cook and look after yourself like that...

JUNE: ... It ain't much. On the farm we all gotta do our part. Me too.

RIDDLE: I suppose that is true. In such an environment it really makes a difference how many people join in the efforts. As I understood, life on farms tends to involve a lot of gruelling work so I imagine the same must have been true for your own upbringing. I admire that sort of dedication to one's responsibilities.

JUNE: ... Ain't there some sort of game we gotta play, huh?

RIDDLE: Ah, that is true. The puppet did mention that we will have to do something like that. At our Unbirthday parties, we usually play croquet together. So I wonder if it might be something similar to that...

JUNE: Doubt it...

PUPPET: [Shall I proceed with the game instructions?]

RIDDLE: Hm? If you will.

PUPPET: [As requested I shall proceed with the game instructions. This part of the interview will require that I ask a question that June Himalia will answer and which Riddle Rosehearts will be tasked with interpreting.]

RIDDLE: ... I see. I've never been good at this sort of thing but I will try my best nonetheless...

PUPPET: [Question: Picture yourself on a stroll through town. The day is beautiful and you're half-lost in a daydream. You turn onto a street that you've never been down before, and as you walk you pass a beautiful house set somewhat back from the street. Pausing a moment to admire this lovely home, you notice the door is half-open. Why is the door ajar?]

RIDDLE: Why is the door ajar... Could it be that the owner simply forgot to lock it?

JUNE: 'hat kind of moron forgets to lock his own door? Huh? Ain't nobody forgettin' anythin' if they want to make it in life.

RIDDLE: Unexpected accidents like this can happen. It's important to learn how to be patient with people. Even if it's difficult.

JUNE: ... Tch. 'hat's easy for ya to say.

RIDDLE: I'm sorry?

PUPPET: [June Himalia please answer the question so that Riddle Rosehearts may interpret it.]

JUNE: Tch. Ain't it obvious 'hat the place is gettin' robbed, huh?! 'hat's there to even interpret, huh? This 'hole fuckin' thing is just stupid...

People are just dumb and naive and can't fuckin' think for themselves. That's why they rely on others like they can't fuckin' solve anythin' by themselves. Puttin' all 'hat crap on other people's shoulders, ugh...

RIDDLE: ... I think it's important to not get carried away in a crisis just because things seem to feel bleak. Sometimes people make mistakes out of oversight, rather than bad intentions so it's important to hear them out. At least that is what I have learned since the first years came to attend school...

JUNE: Ugh, 'hose two... They're always causin' trouble wherever they go.

RIDDLE: Indeed. But sometimes circumstances are beyond their control and it's important to acknowledge that, I think.

On that note... June-senpai, how did you know who I was talking about?

JUNE: Whatcha mean how do I know, huh? They tried to sneak in here last week and I almost punted them before they ran away. It's those two idiots that always come as a pair, ain't they?

RIDDLE: Yes... It is indeed them. I was not aware of this fact, however... Thank you for letting me know.

JUNE: Tch... Just make sure you teach them some manners. Tryin' to sneak into my dorm like 'hat. I went to throw 'hat freakin' statue after them and it broke. Now I gotta pay for the damages...

That's why stickin' with others is just...

As long as I got my plants and my garden I ain't need no fuckin' city apartment to leave the door open. Fuckin' idiots... No wonder they can't do anythin' right. People just gotta accept their limitations...

SCENE III

PUPPET: [Please proceed to the last part of the interview.]

RIDDLE: Very well. I will ask the last question then.

"If you were stuck on a deserted island with somebody, who would you want it to be?"

JUNE: No one.

RIDDLE: That... You should at least attempt to answer it...

JUNE: Tch. If I had to... Diana.

RIDDLE: Diana-senpai? Ah, now that you mention it...

JUNE: She's smart and capable. Can hunt and survive in the wilderness. And I've seen her taking naps with the animals on campus.

RIDDLE: Taking naps? How is that relevant?

JUNE: The weather up here is shit. It's always cold or some fuckin' sylphs are droppin' in like it's nobody's business and it's fuckin' annoyin'!

RIDDLE: I see... And Diana-senpai doesn't mind?

JUNE: Nah. She ain't mindin' anythin' at all, which is freaky as hell, but in the circumstances, it's the best thing ya can get. If I get stuck on a fuckin' island I want somebody who can adapt to that place, ya know? Who can hunt and not mind the weather. And won't be losin' her head over shit like some of the others would.

And she'll be quiet.

RIDDLE: It's true that I haven't seen her speak that much.

JUNE: Yeah. She's the quiet sort. It's good. There's too many yappin' shits around here and it's giving me a headache...

Besides... She's calm.

RIDDLE: Calm?

JUNE: Even when I start to rage, she doesn't seem to mind it at all... She doesn't look scared either. Just tells me to calm down like it's nothin'. Nobody has the guts to do 'hat to me.

Even back in her first year she didn't give a shit. She was smaller too back 'hen and I could have ripped her head off, but she just stood 'here and stared at me like it didn't matter who I was... It was nice.

RIDDLE: Nice? What do you mean?

JUNE: I ain't some fuckin' brute, ya know... It's just 'hat sometimes...

............................................................

RIDDLE: June-senpai?

JUNE: UGH! TALKIN' TO YA IS USELESS! FUCK OFF! WHERE'S 'HAT FUCKIN' PUPPET OFF TO, HUH?! I GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO, YA SHITHEADS!

RIDDLE: ... I think it's best that we finish the interview also.

[*]

PUPPET: [Congratulations. The interview portion has been completed. Please proceed to the last event of the celebrations. A bottle has already been prepared for you.]

JUNE: ...

RIDDLE: ... Then, if you don't mind...

JUNE: Just get it over with... This whole day ain't been nothin' but a waste of time...

I hate this day, ugh...

RIDDLE: I understand. Then, I apologize but hopefully, it does not end up upsetting you too much.

Happy Birthday, June Himalia!

[champagne pops]

[azusawrites]

Thank you so much for the questions!! ❤️❤️❤️

Diana mostly likes to sleep in the dorm, among all the beasts and monsters! She thinks it's very comforting to hear their breath and see them relaxing as such! Most were rescued from fighting rings and such, and as a result, tend to be quite wary of people. But Diana's calm and grounded personality helps them feel more at ease and let her integrate herself among them. She's happiest when they all can rest peacefully under the shade of the trees!

It would be "sexy Goth", haha! Basically all-black, always, kinda revealing but not too much, and with a tint of mature and elegant. She almost never wears pants but prefers tight skirts or dresses and the sort, along with heels or platform boots to give her that boost to her height. The taller, the more imposing, that is her belief. She also almost always wears a little black headband, with her long, white hair let down. A sort of Morticia Addams type of look, but with white hair instead of black!

Thank you for letting me talk about my very mentally unstable daughter~ Kiyoko's had a very rough childhood growing up, made then even worse by AFO taking her in, so her sense of showing any sort of positive emotions has been completely twisted. She shows affection either only as a means of manipulating the other, making them feel like they owe her something, or because she wants to show approval, but it's always with a tint of condescension. It's like she's trying to tell the other person that they should be grateful that she even acknowledged them in the first place, which has led to a lot of toxic relationships and behaviour on her part.

Blanche really likes calm, sunny days when she can go outside and read under a tree without worrying about anything! Rainy weather tends to depress her because it brings about quite a number of unhappy memories, so she tends to hide under the blankets when she can and wait for it to pass.

June would really love to learn more about poetry! She's never really been allowed to actually spend time studying, so she feels like she missed on a lot of things growing up. Among them, literature and such has been at the forefront of it, mostly because she feels that only smart people get poetry and because she can't be able to do so, then it's pretty clear that maybe she's just as dumb as her grandmother always told her that she was. By paying more attention to her studies she hopes to get out of that mentality!

Questions for @azusawrites

What is Diana’s favourite way to waste time?

What is Vita’s signature style like?

How does Kiyoko show affection?

What is Blanche’s favourite type of weather? Why?

Is there something that June would love to learn?

[walpurga-nacht-academy]

Real question: Which NRC boys can the prefects NOT STAND.

Oooh, thank you for the question, Nonnie! This was really fun to think of, tbh!

🍓 Rosalia Morgainne 🍓 

Cater Diamond: It’s very melodramatic, but she does insist that she loathes Cater more than anything else in the world. It mostly stems from the fact that he’s always eager to ask her to take selfies with him so he can boost his MagiCam presence. Rosa deeply dislikes being given attention thanks to her role as Cherry, and always turns Cater down and blows him off. If they’re to meet by accident, she’d quickly turn around to avoid him and snap at him whenever he addresses her. 

🐇 Blanche Dion 🐇

Leona Kingscholar: It’s not something personal, but rather the fact that Blanche senses that Leona is smarter than he lets on, but has absolutely no drive to better or improve himself. She sees it as a waste to have somebody as him refuse to do anything useful or for the betterment of others. She’s the nagging sort usually, but in this situation she won’t interfere at all. Leona is a prince after all, and it would be foolish to start criticising him so boldly. At most she’ll express her dissatisfaction whenever she and Diana are talking about him. 

🧹 Marcia Pyroeis 🧹

Sebek Zigvolt and Jamil Viper: It’s nothing personal. Just business. Her business. Which these two stand in the way of. Though she understands to a certain degree why they are like this, it still does not change the fact that their interference is causing her to lose opportunities on making more money. She tends to get into fights with them pretty often as she tries to go past them and reach her real targets. Under any other circumstances, she wouldn’t be bothered by all this at all, since she’s pretty outgoing and friendly, but when it comes to money, Marcia has no mercy. 

🐸 June Himalia 🐸

Vil Schoenheit: It’s a weird relationship they have, because for the most part Vil looks down on her for being such an uncouth person, but recognizes her hardworking personality. Whereas June just dismisses him as a fancy city boy who keeps criticizing her whenever they cross paths. She is impressed that he has no qualms telling her off, but that also is quickly overrun by the fury that overtakes her soon after. When he remarks on her failures and flaws he manages to hit a little too close to home, and it always makes her rather agitated. So she tries to avoid him as best she can while on school grounds.

🐊 Diana Arrow 🐊

Rook Hunt: Diana is usually a very easy-going person, who doesn’t really have problems with those around her. The only exception to this is Rook, who she absolutely despises for his stalking tendencies. It’s not the act in itself that bothers her, but rather that it reminds her too much of the poachers that used to bother her friends back home. Interactions with Rook are the only time people will see her be overtly aggressive as he’s particularly good at pushing her buttons. As a result, he’s universally despised by the girls of Monarchia as well.  

🦋 Cassandra Delphinne 🦋

Azul Ashengrotto: Hate is a strong word, as Cass feels mostly fear towards him. He’s very insistent on her using her UM in order to either help him out or make money, and though he’s always very ‘polite’ about it, she can’t deal with his businessman attitude at all. She always tries to avoid him whenever she’s on campus, along with the twins, and keeps close to either Silver or Sebek for that reason. The fact that he still hasn’t given up on trying to convince her to do as he asks cause her quite a bit of anxiety, actually.

🧪 Agatha Voisin 🧪

Kalim Al-Asim: Kalim is pretty much everything Agatha hates in human form, with him being very cheerful, shiny and popular with others. He reminds her a bit of Rosa’s TV persona “Cherry” which just further earns her ire for the poor boy. It exasperates her when he acts kind to her, having even paid for something she wanted to purchase but was short on money for once, and will usually follow him around to repay the debt she feels she owns him. She grows more and more exasperated every time she’s unable to do that, and eventually Jamil had to accept the money on Kalim’s behalf to avoid a catastrophe.  

🕷 Vita Dies 🕷

Floyd Leech: Hate is a strong word, as Vita does not really care all that much for other people outside her immediate family and people she holds dear. But Floyd does manage to cause her the most amount of trouble by being an insufferable genius that does not apply himself. She tends to look down on him and make all sorts of scathing remarks if pushed, but generally her attitude towards him is to simply ignore his existence. People who are able to pursue higher knowledge, but do not are the sort that she dislikes the most.
