#just like ALL the werecat aus i guess???

[pandagirl45]

Tony would totally play elden ring. Why? No reason. I think it's amusing to think about Tony playing and modding games.

Like he would talk about the original demon souls and just infodump on it. He be the one to try to beat ghost and ghouls.

Something. Something. Gamer Tony.

Let see, my personal headcanos, relating and not relating to the Canon stuff

Tony with extremis eyes can go arc reactor blue and sometimes orange due to magic silliness

Tony is a gamer

Tony is a goth

Tony is cat coded, lioness coded, tiger coded, humming bird, and my personal favorite a lion and lynx mix

Tony as mythological creatures ranges from dyrads to dragons. Dyrad, fire elemental/fairy, dragon, and werecat

If he was a wizard, he'd be close to nature and technology

Tony is ploygot

For me, my au Tony is demisexual and biromantic (other aus, I leave up for the reader)

I like having butterfingers, dume and u and call them the triplets. Jarvis is the "eldest". Vision and Ultron are the youngest

Tony definitely try to repress a lot of himself due to childhood trauma and fears.

My au Tony hides his scars. Arms, back of thighs, and back.

Tony is definitely sicilian/lybian and American (howard side)

He did look up to steve but he likes the underdog more (because I'm trash and I ship winteriron. Plus I think he would happily choose bucky just to irk howard off)

He straightens his hair before style it (naturally curl, 4C, yadda yadda)

Tony pairings I find cute or I actively ship, winteriron of course, stony, pepperony, t'challa and Tony (I see it), clint and tony (platonically), thor and Tony, and that's about it for now. (I guess rhodey and Tony, but also platonic, familial love)

If he has human kids, morgan is the only biological one, Harley adopted (if his mom is alive, then tony is a mentor), Peter, same as harley, miles, same as harley. Anna Marie (rogue), why? Because I think it'd be amazing to see Tony and Rogue just grow together. Tony getting the avengers to help her understand and work with her powers. Especially if tony has extremis, (yes I know that is weird but work with me), and she let's go of the abilities and act. All them and the bots, Tony is a mother hen.

Tony doesn't actively seek to have kids or get married, if it happens and he finds himself feeling safe and comfortable so be it.

I got this from the Fandom and hearing the about the food hiding on set of rdj adventures. Blueberries are his favorite fruit. Veggies I want to say a squash variant. Dish, many.

He can cook and bake but he just refuses too. When he bakes, he makes the thing dessert into something else, on accident.

He can dance, play piano, and sing (Maria. Don't tell me Maria and her side of the family wasn't at least musically inclined).

These are headcanons because I like them. I think they are amusing or add something to his already very interesting and independent character. Little things I suppose. I can do one for steve. I have plenty for him.

KIRBY'S DREAMLAND 3 ON THE SUPER NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAY IM SO STOKED ABT THIS DRAWING SERIES (it is going to take me a million years to finish and be much longer than KDL2 just a warning LOL)!!!! KDL3 is one of my favorite Kirby games, I played it all the time as a kid! Tbf a lot of Kirby games are my favorite. But this is probably my favorite OLD Kirby game! It's missing a lot of modern Kirby conventions, but I still love it so much, it's so cozy and warm.

In my gijinka AU timeline it's set about a year after Star Stacker, so Kirby is now 13. I dunno if I set ages for the original Animal Friends ngl. I think Coo's in his early 50's, Kine's in his early 40's, and Rick's in his mid 20's. ALSO I finally found out what the nonbinary equivalent to nephew/niece is!! It's nibling!! Kirby is Rick, Coo, and Kine's honorary nibling!

I will get into Acro and Ado's context in this gijinka universe during their respective boss encounters, but for now I CAN tell you about the new generation of Animal Friends! I described them on instagram as "extended found family"-- they're loosely connected to the original 3 Animal Friends in the sense that they know them well, but they're brought closer together through knowing Kirby!

Nago is from the Iceberg and knows Rick well because he often visits the Iceberg to improve his climbing skills. I imagine that he and Kirby might 'click' because Nago is trans and Kirby is nonbinary? Nago's a teenager/young adult, but is the oldest of the 3 new Animal Friends. He's a werecat and can turn into a giant calico cat whenever he feels like it! So I guess he and Rick probably would be friends since they're very alike?

Chuchu is from Ripple Field, so she and Kine have met before! Kine has told her many stories about his adventures as a Dark Matter hunter on the surface world, though Chuchu finds herself most interested in his friend Kirby! She thinks Kirby is cute and wants to date him. Kirby has never dated anyone in his entire life and has no idea what romance is like! Chuchu is a flapjack octopus mermaid with mild transformation abilities-- she doesn't have a fully human form like Kine does and is instead half human half octopus in her default form, but fully octopus while transformed. Chuchu is a year older than Kirby.

Pitch is a harpy like Coo, but he's just a lost baby essentially. He's only 4 years old! For now Coo is looking after him since there aren't many other harpies in Dreamland (much less any who'd want to care for Pitch) but they both really want to find Pitch's mother. Pitch sees Kirby as an older brother and likes to shadow him. Unlike Coo, Pitch shrinks when he transforms and turns into a tiny bird you can fit in the palm of your hand! I think he is a shima enaga specifically. A colorful one I guess. They can't be green irl lol.

ALSO I decided to reveal Zero extra early because honestly I don't like that they're just, at the end of the game only! And I like their design a lot. I've drawn them before. I think they deserve a bit more limelight! So I drew them in 2 panels here.

ALSO ALSO (oh my god this post is so long already) thank you everyone for blowing up my Gryll post!! glad 2 see there r so many Gryll enjoyers on here :)

[lesbianneopolitan]

Could you perhaps indulge me in whatever you want to talk to werecat Neo about?

Okay, UUUUH, I didn't think THAT deep into it yet but...

It's an AU happening post V9- the idea is that it's an exaggerated side-effect and affliction post-possession, although I guess I could make a whole different timeline if I thought enough about it-

The first months Neo's not gonna remember too well what she did when transforming. She's going to kill and eat people, she will have foggy memories about it. It's with time that her body will get used to the transformations and she will be able to take better control and remember better. However, Neo's not an idiot, she remembers the transformation, and waking up covered in blood makes it easy for her to know she turned into a monster.

ON THE OTHER HAND, she's capable of recognizing people she cares about by appearance and scent when transformed, so it would be hard for her to target them rather than random people for food.

I'm p sure I don't really gotta say that the transformation is actually pretty painful. And she grows from 4'7'' (139cm) (not counting heels) to around 5'3'' (161cm).

She's very soft and fluffy, that's very important. She's weak to catnip and cucumbers (the last one is a joke but, she could be surprised I GUESS). Strong jaw and sharp teeth- equally sharp claws, and her tongue when transformed has papillae like a real cat's for her grooming.

Being reduced to being so primal in nature keeps her from using her Semblance well. She can't use it to change her appearance- at much it would be used by mere instinct and subconsciously, but not really on purpose.

Do NOT pet her if she doesn't ask for it, otherwise she's gonna go feral, and bites and scratches in this form are a lil wee more dangerous.

She keeps scars from her humanoid form, obviously, but the only visible ones are the scars on her hands- her front paw beans on the fingers are damaged from her mutilated fingertips, and she has a scar crossing her central bean on the left hand.

She's very demanding of attention if you're a loved one- also very cuddly and warm. Specially clingy if she happened to also be coursing through a heat cycle.

Also, Neo just despises all of this. Not only because of what it keeps reminding her of, but also, she hates losing control, so it really doesn't help her self-hatred in relation to all the cat stuff going on.

And now naughty headcanons under the cut 👀

Heat Guy J Live Reacts

While watching Gungrave I remembered this show existed. Here are a compilation of discord messages I sent while watching the show over the course of ~2 weeks.

Key points: - This just might be an escaflowne AU - werewolves heck yes - better women than gungrave - surprise "tomatoes in anime" research

do I watch Heat Guy J (26 eps, similar to gungrave) or do I watch Black lagoon (29 eps, sexy guns starring a lady) I'm leaning toward Heat Guy J for my grey haired man quota I'm playing Heat Guy J ep 1 now so far the music is good lol kill bill inspired or kill bill was inspired bythis? I don't remember when either of those came out wow the voices are so much cooler sounding in japanese they just sound lame in english but english uses less brain power so I'll deal I'm gonna play all these at 1.5x speed because I'm on a strict schedule wow the cgi in this anime did not age well

I think this show shares a character designer with escaflowne … I might have to get this soundtrack damn this ost is all over the place but in a good way I'm only 12min into the first ep this is crazy ok alan schezar

hey look, it's Chid Freid all grown up

shut up, emo dildandau

also, they call the don of their mafia "vampire" (that's the title of the position) That's pretty neat

I'm pretty sure that's just a simplified bra design but this is the 2nd time she's shown up and all I can think of when I see her is "furry boobs"

this dude [Claire] seriously is dilandau straight up psychotic

werewolf or werecat? Hmmmmm

WHAT prisoners have their dna altered so when/if they escape prison, their faces are altered to look like beasts That is such an INSANE policy who puts sunflowers on a grave wtf

I started Heat Guy J I'm just starting ep 3 Here's my thoughts so far:

Surprisingly way more interesting than I thought it would be

The OST is god tier imo

Character design is very similar to vision of escaflowne

the android design is unique and cool bonus: at least one werewolf

ep4 it is a werewolf hecc yeah

"Have you seen my bunny?" I think I found Van

oh If we take personality into account This guy is actually folken

hot

this irish jig thing they have for the fight scenes is really entertaining

the russian roulette guy is the werewolf And I'm going back on the folken thing He's definitely Van ep5 I think this will be the last one for me tonight

fun times

[someone else says: Heat Guy J episode 1: October 1, 2002. Kill Bill Vol 1 premiere: October 30, 2003 ]

gonna try and get the next 5 eps of heat guy j done starting with ep 6 alright what's with the tomato symbolism in anime this didn't just come out of nowhere in new anime and now it's in heat guy j

[someone says: So Google has no idea why tomatoes I thought there would be like some sort of analysis on tomatoes as a symbolic device in anime ]

No it's probably not that direct like maybe japan exports a ton of tomatoes or something?

like if potatoes show up in some irish show There's a lot of history behind that (because of the potato famine) regardless of how they are actually used in the show There is a reason Just like how english is always saying "oh my god" or why they say "bless you" when you sneeze That seems benign but the reason for it is because english speakers are/were predominantly christian

Nobody's going to write an essay about why english speakers use "oh my god" or "bless you" in mass media It's something ingrained in the culture, so you'd have to look in a different context (different from its connection to why it shows up in tv shows a lot) to find the answer you're looking for

I guess ep 6 is "the stock market episode" oh boy they're really hamfisting the lessons in this one already oh boy they just explained the difference between stocks and commodities they also explained shorts (without calling them shorts)

J just caught a bullet with his BARE HANDS and it wasn't even a special scene or anything IT JUST HAPPENED

WHAT dilandau is like "I don't want you around anymore" to his butler so the butler is like "ok" AND THEN PUTS A GUN TO HIS HEAD FOR SUICIDE that's fucking crazy just leave the organization It was a free pass

ep7

cool he's got a scar now also it was just confirmed that THIS ONE is a cat

Back to tomatoes in anime: https://tasteofculture.com/2023/07/17/tomatoes-in-japan/ not as in-depth as I was hoping for

but my armchair guess is it symbolizes a gaijin making a big change to the culture and succeeding maybe an underdog story that also happens to look pretty

I wonder if this is why the tomato is getting spotlight in new anime https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Science/Japan-approves-gene-edited-super-tomato.-But-will-anyone-eat-it

why do japanese love the tomato so much? :skeptical fry.jpg: https://www.bbcspirits.com/gb/other-alcohols/729-liqueur-japan-la-tomato.html

ok so [person] might be onto something with the "it's just pretty" thing https://www.ishs.org/ishs-article/100_10 this abstract makes it more clear that tomatoes were grown primarily because they were pretty. They didn't start eating them until the 1920s!

starting ep 10 now

alright Let's see if I can get to ep 15 I want to start a different series

ep11 was about mind control You know, it's been awhile since we saw the werewolf guy I wonder if he'll be in ep12

Heat Guy J is way more entertaining than the trailer made it seem but there's no real over-arching plot so I'm kind of bored of it now But not bored enough of it that I am ok abandoning it without finishing HELL YEAH WEREWOLF GUY IS IN THIS ONE oh lame they reused the animation from the other episode 😔

ep13 (yay) if I could finish this series today, that would be cool idk if I can keep focused on it much longer though I actually kind of want to go to bed… :reigensweat: (it's only 6pm here)

Starting ep15 The last one for today oh damn they legit destroyed heat guy j they just gave the main character super lsd

… j will make a full recovery damn plot armor

damn MC's (Daisuke) got plot armor from the super lsd too what a letdown

well ep15 is over and nothing has fundamentally changed I'm going to bed I guess And by "Bed" i mean laying down and browsing reddit on my phone til I fall asleep

ok let's see if I can get through 16 - 20 of heat guy j tonight

ep16 MC's brother, alan with glasses, was shot and is in the hospital. I guess he doesn't have plot armor. Meanwhile, dildandau's organization tries to overthrow him because he's too psychotic I wasn't paying much attention, I'm not sure if it succeeded or not

ep17 continues this plot MC & J leave the city and MC smells clean air and grass for the first time He doesn't like nature smells one random side character is the voice of those toonami music video narrator's (outlaw star narrator?) and it's sooo weird

hell yeah werewolf is back werewolf guy aka van is actually just a deus ex He only appeared for 5 seconds to make plot armor for MC 😩 ep18 MC got fired from the special unit. So he and J are now no longer partners alan is out of the hospital I think MC is going after the gang organization that dildandau used to be head of. is currently head of? It's still confusing

ok looks like dildandau is uhhh not present mentally and is maybe on the run So I guess the coup succeeded lol dildandau's character name is claire rival crime gangs are all after claire because they need his eyes to defeat some retinal scanner to access a ton of gold

J has been re-activated to be the plot armor for MC, who happens to be in the same room as clair currently while this gang war is going on yadda yadda somehow MC got the special unit formed again ep19 MC trying to recruit werewolf to the new special unit oh werewolf history episode yay

werewolf joined them yay ep20 Probably the last one before bed tonight There's 26 eps total, so maybe I can finish it tomorrow ep20 today we learn lightsabers just casually exist in this universe oh There's also an evil clone of J apparently

the evil J is trying to kill the MCs but normal J is nowhere to be found I wonder why that is oh there he is finally J vs J battle has commenced J is so OP evil J is dead now ehhhh let's watch ep 21, then call it some random side character has lost his black cat, named juliet aaaand now he's dead

juliet sees it And with his dying breath, he reaches for the cat "I have to make sure that you get home" Sad surprisingly powerful for random side character who has never shown up before oh wait He has shown up before lmao his name is romeo of course he'd name his cat juliet poor juliet

ok ep21 done bed now finish heat guy j tomorrow hopefully

alright let's see if we can watch the last 5 eps of heat guy j today beginning ep 22 this time the killer machine is A WOMAN! you know, this show has more women than the last one (Gungrave), which is good, but so far every single "evil" woman has been mind controlled meaning apparently women don't have the power to be bad of their own accord So that's kind of weird that it's happened twice now

the mechanic for J is very obviously in love with him I mean it was obvious from the first ep she was introduced but now it's even more obvious This looks like it's going to turn into "the beach episode"

oh shit, the island's owned by sephiroth! 😂

ep 23 There's a reoccuring small girl photographer character. She sells photos from a carriage on the street with a mule. So we start this ep with her carriage (which is also her house) burning to the ground girl is stoic, mom is crying and sobbing Girl says "Darn. I forgot my camera. I bet I could've sold a photo of this to the news for some money"

monica (the girl) now lives with the special squad and she is spitting some straight facts J has agreed to pretend to be monica's dad She is using him as a stage performer so she can get money LOL Now she's using him to gamble haha

so you're telling me that in all the years MC has been carrying this bullet pendant around his neck, he never once tried to open it? give me a break Monica opened it and found a memory card inside which is a thing MC needed to solve a crime anyway, ep24 time woman assassin! is she acting of her own accord though? Let's find out

Turns out MC's brother, Alan (actually named Shun) was the evil one all along! Oh Female assassin is actually J's technician! womp womp and shun just killed her sad trombone.mp3 and now he's controlling J!

oh no.jpg

ep25 begins (second to last episode) claire/dildandau makes a triumphant return, to tell MC his brother is the one behind this! Because MC was too dumb to figure it out himself for some reason rather than MC fighting J, beautiful werewolf deus ex appears out of nowhere and forces J into sleep mode

something weird is happening with alan's voice I'm predicting he is actually an android as well Let's see if this bet pays off dildandau got his organization back

same face syndrome killed me the assassin was shun/alan's assistant, not J's technician time to start the final ep, ep26

this is dumb the anime is too episodic now what do I want to watch next? (even though ep26 is still going on in the background) - High Card - Link Click season 2 - Blood Blockade Battlefront - Grenadier - Noein - Black Lagoon

Currently I am interested in lots of guns and gray haired men idk which is more important so maybe a good 50/50 ratio is perfect 🤔 well if we go in download date order, I should do Black Lagoon next… MC to evil brother: "The only think I'm here to kill… Is your anger" 😂

plot armor is in full effect in this episode now there's fireworks because some random deus ex kills everyone that mattered to the coup evil brother tries to kill himself nothing matters evil brother is not an android sad evil brother does not die and decides to not be evil anymore they gave him amnesty This has less stakes than an MCU movie MC goes on a kino's journey without J series ends super lame I am going to make a very nonsensical decision and start High Card next oh no its japanese with subs only! 😩 I don't want to deal with that right now Guess I'll go with Black Lagoon

I finished Heat Guy J It's too episodic for my tastes Also the plot armor was super thick I have started Black Lagoon I'm on ep9 currently It's much better (Heat Guy J OST was still amazing though) the only thing black lagoon is missing is a silver haired guy

well there's 29 eps... More than enough time for one to show up

[darkicedragon]

azure https://twitter.com/m_beagsu/status/1697087725940449614 oh no spin off of bartender AU where Muzaka is assumed dead when in fact he's hiding in Franken's territory spending his time cage fighting owes Franken a lot for hiding him bonus points if word on the street is that Franken actually killed the werewolf lord darkicedragon frankenstein doesnt refute it bc why would he, and its amusing, and also frankenstein notices a dip in troublemakers in the area bc it gets around that frankenstein offed the ww lord tho if muzakas cage fighting, how do ppl not recognise him? 😂

azure https://twitter.com/m_beagsu/status/1696545974519501251 ÒwÓ Muzaka tries not involve himself in Franken's business and territory fights but might not be able to help himself darkicedragon 'i gotta pay off my debt, dont i?' 'i…hm. thank you' bc frankenstein wasnt expecting the support azure is like "hah, since I owe ya, I guess I'll go see what this fight between packs is about" bonus bonus points if Muzaka wears like dog tags that Franken enchanted to alter his appearance also also werecat Tao going (|)^(|) at Muzaka when he first meets him bc maybe some of the cat kind can see through magic/illusions but Franken's powers are pretty strong so he sees Muzaka surrounded by these chromatic aberrations/glitches can't fully see through the illusion, but sometimes, when the light is just right, Muzaka's image shifts ever so slightly "Something wrong, Tao?" "Nothing is just," squint, "either that guy is weird or I need glasses." "… ah… I see." darkicedragon also possibly his electric magic and his nose is buried in his phone all the time, so he uses his electric powers to feel the world around him while hes on the move. looks up and gets confused bc what he sees doesnt match up w what he feels

[silverspleen]

I have an OC question, any girls?

I mean yes, but I won't apologize for my blatant bias towards male characters. But it's very present.

You'll like Titan best I think. She's a Warhammer 40k OC, and the daughter of an Inquisitor who settled on an agri planet with a farmer lady he liked. Titan is his genestealer mutant daughter, she was born looking uncannily human and didn't develop her genestealer traits until she was older, in direct contrast to normal 1st gen genestealers. Basically this girl hit puberty and started growing extra limbs and weird armor and huge fangs. She's also significantly larger and smarter than normal, and has some mild psyker abilities. After her parents passed away she used her extensive knowledge of inquisition tactics (thanks dad!) combined with her genestealer canniness to take over her planet and start inserting her children, grandchildren, and greatgrandchildren into every aspect of planetary life.

Spooky South wise, the same setting Jake and basic bitch no AU Silas live in, I have Eliza, Friday, and Lillian.

Eliza is werecat James' ghost girlfriend/sugar baby. She helps both James and Silas out mostly for selfish reasons (they're hot and she want to bone them, also they get into SO much shit it's entertaining). Her attitude toward being dead is like "ooooh guess I can do what I want now >:3" and is a huge party girl and fashion diva. She's the brunette with branches and flowers growing out of her partially skeleton face that I've posted here a few times. She has notably powerful ghost abilities and can control plants to some degree as well.

Friday is the like, classic angsty monster hunter, her husband got killed by supernatural nonsense (James again) and she didn't handle it well and is basically in a very deep "dig two graves" revenge mindset. She spends basically all of her time prepping to hunt and hunting, mostly using surplus military gear, hunting gear, and sports equipment. She mellows out a little after she gets like... found family to hunt with.

Lillian, is the Found Family to hunt with that Friday gets, she was Silas' old cop partner but their paths almost completely diverged, he got so corrupt that he was bored with standard cop corruption and moved on the full criminal, and she got so bone-deep tired of official law enforcement corruption that she left the force completely. She's basically a private investigator now and works/lives with with Friday as her like... platonic life partner and they investigate supernatural stuff. Silas used to have a crush on her, but Lillian is very ace and he was savvy enough not to make it weird, it was just one more secret for the pile. Lillian (and their third team member Johnny) is the like "let's not be hasty and just randomly execute supernatural creatures" part of the team and basically took the knowledge of the supernatural existing with nothing but grace and patience.

Also I have various RP characters and character concepts that haven't been fully developed yet too so there's that.

Jennifer - RP character, a very normal teenage girl who's courier job basically got her involved in the supernatural and she cried into her iced coffee about it. </3

Ran - my Starbound character, a hylotl (alien amphibian people with a heavy japanese culture inspiration). I miss her and need to play again. She's very softspoken and kind and likes to stab things with the fart spear (toxic gas spear Q gave me that I adore).

"Mace" - in development, a mercenary who works escorts dinosaur embryos, she's got that "pathetic until she's super invested in a job and then becomes super efficient" thing going on. Ned to draw her more because I've been craving "dinosaurs and modern tech" stuff again.

Mother of Sin - big tiddy worm lady, a demon. Probably in the Spooky South setting if I can hammer her worm form down, though she's a little too fantasy leaning for the setting.

I keep trying to manifest another nasty trash dumpster girlfriend for Silas but so far nothing has stuck but it's always in the back of my mind.

I've also got monster lesbians but they're loose concepts and more just for drawing for fun. Plus some designs that need developing.

Strays (1/1)

Summary: It’s not the first time Ryan’s seen this particular stray around his building.

Notes: Because reasons.

AO3

It’s not the first time Ryan’s seen this particular stray around his building.

Lean and lanky, sand colored fur with muted tabby markings. Bright green eyes and gentle temperament, loud little bastard who does his best to trip him up when Ryan comes home.

Showed up out of the blue one day with a fancy gold collar pulled so tightly around its neck it wasn’t breathing properly. Fur matted with mud and dried blood, limping along with a bad fracture in one its forelegs. Sharp eyes and sharper claws, it didn’t hesitate to flash when Ryan got too close.

Patience and a bit of kindness had won it over, allowed him to get close to it. Coax it out of hiding and see to its injuries. Earned him an odd little friend of the four-footed kind over time.

“Hey,” Ryan says, tied and aching, shoulder twinging uncomfortably as he bends down to scritch the stray’s ears because he knows what will happen if he doesn't.

Sad eyes and soft, pitiful cries as it trails him up to his apartment as though Ryan is the worst kind of person there is, career choices aside.

The stray meows, accusatory as it looks up at him, look on its face as though it’s annoyed Ryan’s late.

“Look buddy,” he says, past the point of caring that he tends to talk to the stray as though it can understand him. “These things run long sometimes.”

Because sometimes the asshole you’ve been hired to kill has access to things like grenades and homemade explosives and things get tricky. Especially when the guy’s the paranoid kind who knows someone’s coming after him and things go to shit for a bit.

The stray sneers at him, trotting ahead with its tail held high and this flounce that has Ryan shaking his head as he follows.

========

Ryan had done some looking, put out feelers around the city for anyone missing a cat with a fancy gold collar worth a pretty penny. Did a little looking online too, just in case, and when no leads turn up he figures it’s probably some rich asshole who has enough money not to care if their cat goes missing.

So now the stray isn’t so much a stray as it is a frequent visitor in Ryan’s life.

It lounges around his apartment like royalty, loud and demanding and bossy as hell, and Ryan -

Well.

He knew what he was in for when he made the mistake of letting the cat stay the first time it set paw inside his apartment. (It’s a cat, that’s what they do.)

At the moment Ryan’s tending to an array of minor injuries from his latest job. Picking bits of dirt and crumbled masonry out of a gash thanks to flying debris and bad luck. The stray’s watching him, tip of its tail twitching.

The stray smacks his hand with just a hint of claws when Ryan when Ryan thinks about passing on stitching it up. Thinks butterfly bandages will do the trick just as well, if a bit messily.

Ryan looks up to see the stray has this displeased look on its face, starts growling when Ryan just sits there, and flashes its claws. Mean looking things that would undo what progress Ryan’s made so far.

“Christ, alright,” Ryan mutters, wondering when he started taking orders from a damn cat.

========

Ryan knows there’s more to Los Santos than the rampant crime and corruption. Desperate souls just trying to keep their heads above water.

There’s a flipside to everything here. Go down this street and knock on the door with a mark on it, and if you know the password you’ll find yourself in a goddamn fantasy novel.

There are creatures here - ‘shifters and vamps and everything in between.

Beings from the old country who’ve migrated to America generations ago and found their way to Los Santos. Gotten lost in a city that doesn’t care who (what) you are or where you came from so long as you know how the city works.

Ryan’s heard the stories, all these beings with powers and abilities and how one terribly fragile human like him can’t possibly hope to match up against them – and yet.

He’s garnered a reputation of his own in this city, made a name for himself that stands him on level footing with some of the most powerful names here.

There are crews, gangs, you learn to be wary of if you last long enough. The Fake AH Crew are at the top of the list, notorious wanted criminals known for being ruthless when it comes to their enemies.

They say Ramsey’s something old – no one’s sure what he is, just old and tired and waiting for the world to end. Passes the time entertaining himself, gathering strays of his own with mixed heritage and watered down bloodlines, wreaking havoc and making sure the whole city knows who’s behind it all.

“You’re the Vagabond, hmm?”

Ryan sighs, looking up to see Ramsey watching him, amused little smile on his face.

He's had a long day and isn’t really in the mood to entertain guests at the moment. Just wanted to go home, deal with his latest injuries in peace.

His arm stings, parallel scratches bleeding sluggishly and nursing what feels like cracked ribs.

“Ramsey.”

The man moves forward. Looks disheveled with sleepy eyes and that smile like he’s laughing at the world. (Something he knows no one else does, perhaps, or maybe he just finds what people will do to get by so terribly amusing.)

On the surface of things he seems like he’d be the harmless kind, but there’s this air of subtle power about him. The kind of person who knows their worth, is comfortable with it.

“Looks like you’ve had an exciting day.”

Ryan’s been fucked over, is what he’s been.

Contacts who were blinded by greed and a phone call that led him to a construction site expecting to meet with a potential employer and finding an ambush instead.

Pair of ‘shifters with sharp fangs and claws and looking to make a name for themselves by killing him, not realizing the mistake they’d made. (The same one so many of their kind make, again and again and again because how could a squishy little human ever be a threat to something like them?)

And now this.

Not his day, really.

Still, it’s not Ramsey he’s worried about so much as the banshee. Eyes on Ryan the whole damn time, and angry as hell about something.

Steps up beside Ramsey who watches, mouth quirked in a faint smile.

“Where the fuck is he?” he demands, so very quiet.

Ryan stares at him, bemused.

The banshee takes another step forward, pushes into Ryan’s space -

They both freeze when there’s a rattle and clank above them, and look up to see the stray making his way down to them via drain pipes and rusty fire escapes.

It drops down in front of them, this smug little look about it.

“You little fucker,” the banshee snarls. “Do you have any fucking clue how long we’ve been looking for you?”

The stray’s tail flicks once, twice, and then it makes a little run at the banshee, leaping at the last moment to land, lightly, perfectly, on his shoulders. Purrs up a storm as it butts its head against his face, making these chirping noises like laughter as the banshee seethes, muttering darkly under his breath.

“Gavin,” Ramsey says, and the cat looks over, ear flicking.

There’s an amused smile on Ramsey's face. Shoulders loose and easy as he takes in the stray draping himself across the banshee’s shoulders like it’s a favorite perch of his, and Ryan -

Ryan’s just so very tired because this is Los Santos and there’s a flipside to everything here.

========

“You know,” Ramsey says, eyeing Ryan thoughtfully. “We could always use someone as resourceful as you in the crew.”

Ryan raises an eyebrow at that, sounds of Ramsey’s crew getting the stray – Gavin – to spill what he’s been up to for the past few weeks. Where he’s been after disappearing on them after a job went bad and he ran into Ryan. Thought he was interesting and all and decided to stick around for a bit. (Clearly Ryan is even more of an idiot than he thought for not realizing.)

Still.

A crew like this doesn’t need a mundane like him, fragile little human up against the things that go bump in the night.

Sure, Ryan can hold his own in Los Santos, but running with a crew like Ramsey’s is on an entirely different level.

He doesn’t go looking for trouble deliberately, but hell if he turns tail when it comes looking for him. (Surefire way to paint a target on your back, that. Get the wrong kind of people interested in you.)

They both look around as the banshee’s voice rises in pitch.

Anger and exasperation and this distinct note of concern.

A moment later Gavin comes tearing out of the living room, ears pinned back as he leaps for Ryan, sharp caws digging in as he scrabbles for stable footing.

When Michael comes skidding around the corner Gavin meows somehow managing to make it sound insufferably smug as Michael regards Ryan warily.

“Give it some thought,” Ramsey says, this little curl to his mouth as he watches the three of them locked in their little stalemate. “You might like it here.”

========

Gavin on two feet is just as much as a menace as Gavin on four feet.

The only difference is that he can use actual human words now, which makes acting like he doesn’t understand what he wants a bit harder for Ryan.

Still, there are workarounds.

“What does that even mean?” Ryan asks, not-so-secretly enjoying the exasperated look on Gavin's face.

Gavin sighs and repeats himself, a string of unadulterated British nonsense spilling from his lips that, sure, Ryan could make an educated guess about, but this is far more entertaining.

“Ryan,” Gavin says, bit of a pout creeping in and it’s honestly a little bit annoying at how adept the little bastard is at manipulating Ryan and the others. “Don’t be a minge.”

See, Ryan can guess what Gavin means by that, but -

“That’s not a real word,” Ryan says, biting back a smile at the look Michael tosses him from across the room.

Little bit wary of him still, but that’s fine. Ryan’s the newbie here, gun for hire for job Geoff insists will more than make up for the hassle of having to deal with the others for the duration.

Gavin throws his hands up and launches into a rant about idiot Americans who doesn’t understand clear English, and Ryan -

Ryan sits back and lets Gavin’s little rant or lecture or whatever the hell it is wash over him while processing none of it.

He’s not entirely certain he’s cut out to work with a crew, but for now this isn’t so bad.

Might fall for you-Lukadrien June Day 16

So the monster high au came up in the lukadrien vault but stupid me forgot to save the info before it closed. But i had suggested Adrien being on the fearleading team and I thought since he's a werecat, he'd be perfect for a flyer, which I now know sometime appears in pro cheearleading. It was in my head when reading this prompt, so enjoy! Falling for you

“This is utterly ridiculous!”

Adrien could see the magic flying off of Chloe. He felt a little sorry for Headmistress Mendeleiev. She’d be dealing with a few cursed items if this got any worse.

“Our SKRM course is still damaged and we have a season coming up, one you will be cheering at might I remind you. may I also remind you that you had caused that damage by annoying the kraken in the pool?”

“He stole my perfume! Do you have any idea how expensive that was? How are we supposed to work on routines with they’re slamming their stupid skates all over the place? There is a perfectly fine courtyard!”

“Ms. Bourgeois, I am reaching the end of my rope. The SKRM team is practising in the gym. Your fearleading team will have one side and the SKRM will have the other. Now leave, before I have your practise suspended.”

Chloe let out an infuriated huff and stormed off, her magic causing a few things to glow.

“Um, I’d check on those things first, sorry!” Adrien ran after Chloe, who was causing the lockers to rattle. “Chlo, it’s not that big of a deal. The course will be fixed soon and then it’ll be over.”

Sabrina was waiting at the end of the hall, her fearleading letterman jacket on. She was halfway in the shadows, almost impossible to see had it not been for the neon colour of her monster emblem acting as a beacon.

“Sabrina, get out of the shadows! We have work to do!”

“Yes Chloe.”

The boogeygirl stayed smartly out of the way of the puca, sharing a look with Adrien once she’d stormed by. They arrived at the gym, where the rest of the fearleading team was speaking with the SKRM team, some doing more than talk. Adrien flinched when Chloe pulled the megaphone from Sabrina.

“Get in formation right now!”

“It’s gonna be a long practise, isn’t it?” Sabrina asked.

“that’s one word for it. Good luck.”

“You too.”

Adrien was the only guy on the fearleading team and as a werecat, he was light enough and skilled enough to be a flyer. It got easy to ignore Chloe screaming at them from her spot on the ground as he and a bunch of girls flipped, tumbled and were tossed in the air, but every now and then Chloe would say something scathing and distract them. Adrien already felt off balance with the girls shaking under him. When he was on the ground acting as a spotter, he saw that a few of the SKRM members were watching, interested.

“Do you think we could do something like that to avoid an obstetrical?” he heard a minotaur ask.

“Possibly. Though who wants to risk their neck asking Chloe to teach us?”

“We could ask the guy on the team to help. They throw him up in the air.” A gorgon pointed out.

“You’re late on the music, pick it up!”

Adrien put his hands on the bases’ shoulders and pushed up, finding his balance as they held onto to one foot as he brought his other right behind his head. He thought they were doing well, but he could see Chloe wasn’t happy. He also had a feeling that the loud clopping of the skates against the wood of the floor didn’t help either. As he brought his leg down, readying himself to get tossed in the air when one of the cyclops fell to the floor. His height added with his weight, caused the whole floor to shake. Along with already shaky hands, Adrien lost his balance and fell backwards.

Now, Adrien was a werecat, so he had the qualities of a cat, including landing on his feet. He was a decent hight off the ground but was sure he’d be fine. So when he was feeling his body start to turn to land on his feet but was instead caught by something that crashed them to the floor, he was surprised. He opened his eyes to see he was on top the same gorgon who’d pointed him out earlier. He panicked a little when he saw he wasn’t wearing any eye gear to block his stone turning power when he noticed how dull his eyes were. Gorgon contacts, for those gorgons who didn’t like glasses, they covered the magic layer on their eyes that turned people to stone.

“Are you ok?”

“Huh? Oh, yeah. Um, guess I was falling for you.” Adrien felt his ears flick back when he realised what he said. “Why did I say that?”

Thankfully the gorgon found it funny. He let Adrien get off him before pushing himself up. Adrien noticed he was wearing skates, most likely using them to get from one side of the gym to where he’d fallen. He got up and offered his hands.

“Here, let me help you up.” He took the offered hands, feeling the scales against his fur. It was a strange feeling, but kinda nice. He must have pulled harder than expected because when the gorgon was up on his feet, he rocked forward on his skates but managed to catch himself. Adrien’s ears flicked back again at the realisation of how close they were.

“Looks like I’m falling for you now.” The gorgon joked, his dull slitted blue eyes shining mischievously.

Oh my Bast, Adrien was in trouble.

“Off! Get off of him, right now!” Chloe came over, waving the two of them apart, shooting a glare at the gorgon before turning to him. “Are you ok? Do you need to go to the nurse?”

“Chlo, I’m fine, really. I would have landed on my feet anyway.”

“This is exactly what I mean when I said they shouldn’t be here!”

While Adrien worked to calm Chloe down, he watched the gorgon skate back to his team, sending him a smile when Adrien mouthed ‘thank you’. by the end, Chloe cancelled the rest of practise and he’d gone with her and Sabrina to continue calming her down. he then realised he’d never gotten the gorgon’s name.

                                             ___________________

Monster High parties were always something to look forward to. Extravagant fashion, good music and funny antics depending if there was a reason the party was thrown. This one was down in the school’s underground dock. One of the students had brought their boat and the whole party was spilling from the main deck onto the dock and the stairs. They were incredibly long so no one was going back up, but it was breathing room. Adrien leaned against the railing of the boat, looking over at Nino having fun behind the DJ stand. The original DJ got thrown in the water and was being played around with by the school kraken. He saw a few of the sea monsters trying to help, but he knew Nino would be up there for a while.

“Hey.” Adrien looked up and perked up at the sight of the gorgon that had saved him.

“Hi.”

“Is your friend here? Hoping to not get yelled at again.”

“She is, but don’t worry, she’s more focused on beating out another girl in having more admirers. Um, I never got to properly thank you for saving me.”

“Even thought you would have landed on your feet.” He reminded, though he had a good-natured smile. “I sort of saw you falling and moved without thinking. I’m Luka by the way.”

“Adrien.”

“A pleasure. You were pretty impressive by the way, as a flyer.”

“Thanks. I’ve never really watched a SKRM match.”

Luka looked surprised. SKRM was the most popular sport, even more the casketball. “Guess that explains why I never saw you last season. People always at least come to one game.”

“I also just transferred. My dad had me home-schooled for a long time. I’ve known Chloe for years and have helped her with fearleading so she dragged me when I came.”

“Guess I’ll have to come see you guys at competition.”

“Then I’ll cheer for you extra hard during SKRM season. And I guess I could tech you guys a few basic tosses to help.”

Luka smiled at him. “We’d appreciate it. But enough about ‘work’. Do you wanna dance?”

“Sure.”

He followed Luka onto the made dance floor, easily moving to the music. He noticed the snakes in Luka’s hair moving along with the music as well. Someone from behind bumped into Adrien and sent him stumbling forward. Luka caught him, his hands going around his waist.

“You seem to be falling for me a lot.” Luka teased.

Adrien’s tail flicked around, as he struggled to find words.

“If it’s ok with you, maybe before you teach the team those tosses, we can go out for coffee at the maul?”

Adrien slowly nodded, trying to stop his tail.

Maybe he was falling for Luka.

Werecat Snatcher/Prince/Arulius AU inspired brainrot from @asterofthedeepforest putting the idea into my head this morning and it’s haunted me alongside my Bee Movie Au

Here’s a snippet:

-squish-

She blinked and he felt his face heating up. She grabbed his gloved hand to his horror and began to remove his glove.

“W-wait! No! No! Stop leav--” 

It was too late. She stared at the squishy pawpads on his hands and the claws on his fingers. She held his hand as she stared with wide eyes. He was ruined. This was the end of him. He held his breath as she was quiet before she began to play with the pink pads.

“Puni puni~!” she smiled as she squished them gently. He choked on a whine as her warm hands gently played with his hands.

And then the shameful noise. That noise he hated as he felt his ears twitching under his hat. A deep reverberating purr from his throat as she stroked the pads.

She stopped as soon as she heard the rumbling and snickered.

“Cat got your tongue?” she teased and he gasped when she reached and stole his hat. His ears flattened as he tried to hide his face in shame.

“S-Stop! D-don’t say---”

“I’m shocked your ears are out!” she huffed as she reached to pet them gently. He melted and began to purr louder as she stroked his head. Her hand moving down his cheek and under his chin. He felt his tail trying to sway as she gave him the affectionate touches.

He froze.

“What?”

“Even a 5 year old pup can hide their ears!” she snickered. He looked at his secretary in shock. He gasped when from her fluffy black hair two large wolf ears flicked upright. She flicked one as she gave a proud smirk.

“Wh…” he couldn’t form words. For a month he’d done his best to hide himself. To keep normality. And Now. now his secretary. Eclipse. Had wolf ears.

She laughed, “what? Cat got your tongue?” she jested again, “Arulius?” she hummed and scratched under his chin again getting another purr from him. He gasped.

“S-Stop that! I’m trying to process!” He fretted as his ears flattened on his head as his face flushed, “W-why do you have ears?! Why aren’t you shocked I’m.. I’m a freak!”

“You’re a cat.” she stated plainly. “I thought it was weird how much you smelt like a cat when you said you didn’t have one but this explains soooo much~!” she giggled as she played with his hands again, “but you should hide your features in public. I hide my ears in my hair instead of shifting them away.”

“I-If i could I would!” he snapped with a hiss, “E-ever since i started changing I can’t stop it!”

“Oh you must have been bitten then huh?” she mused, “Then you haven’t had a full moon yet?”

He growled some, “I have no idea what’s wrong with me!”

“You’re a werecat duh.” she laughed and let go of his hand. She proudly placed a hand on her chest, “Lucky for you then, because I happen to be the BEST werebeast!”

He stared at her, “Eclipse…?”

“I’m an original, a 100% born and raised, Werewolf!” she held her hands up like paws near her face as she winked at him, “Awooo!!!”

He could only stare confused before his mouth twitched and he started to laugh. She smiled as her skirt shifted and he saw the black wolf tail swishing behind her. He continued to laugh as it turned to sobs. He leaned his head on her shoulder as he held onto her as he cried.

She pet his back gently as he released the pent up frustration. As he sniffled and slowed she shifted to wipe his face.

“Better?” she asked. She stood up to lick the tears from his face. He nuzzled against her as she bathed his face, purring all the while. He paused when he realized and pulled away red in the face.

She smiled with a laugh, “do you feel better?”

He wiped his face and sighed, “a bit. A werecat? I’m a werecat?” he asked. He looked at her ears and reached towards them. He gently put a hand on her head and stroked her hair, moving to gently hold her ear, running his thumb over the soft fur. She bumped her head into his hand to make him pet her head more, her tail wagging behind her with gusto.

“That’s my guess from how you look and smell like cat!” she stated, huffing when he pulled his hand away. She reached to smooth her hair and hid her ears back in the curly locks. She folded her tail between her legs and under her skirt as he looked at her.

“And you’re… a werewolf… is that new…?” he asked.

She shook her head, “Nope! I’ve been a wolf since the day i was born!” she explained, “I’m a naturally born werewolf!” 

He frowned, “so…. Do you… can I…. can I be fixed?” he asked but the look on her face, the wide eyes and frown, told him his answer. He sighed, “damnit…”

“I can’t ‘fix’ it. But I can help you manage it. If you want, I can help you at least hide some of these features. When you have proper control you can appear 100% human but you need to release your energy regularly. That’s why I just keep my ears in my hair instead of trying to shift them.” she laughed.

“Please…” he spoke softly, “Eclipse please help me.”

Werekitten AU: Cat-astrophe Chap. 2

Hey everyone! Here is the next chapter!

I had to take some time with this one as I didn’t know how to end the story. But it's here and it's ready to read!!

Not much to say other than, I hope you enjoy it!

After that turn of events happened, Mu, Hat Kid and Timmy were continuing their sightseeing adventure across the Metro. The three found an ice cream stand and each bought ice cream for themselves to enjoy on their walk. While they were walking, they stumbled upon a group of metro cat police surrounding an alleyway.

“What’s going on?” Hat Kid asked.

“I don’t know?” Mu replied, shaking her head. “Let’s check it out!” She beamed. Hat Kid smiled as the two girls decided to check out what all the fuss was about. The kid trio went through the crowd and gasped at the sight they saw.

The Lazy Paw Cat thief from last night was found brutally murdered. It left no pons, only blood and a dead corpse. “What in the world!” Timmy shouted.

Mu chuckled in delight. She enjoyed crime scenes, especially the ones she committed when stopping the mafia. “Oh boy a murder scene!”

“No no no.” Hat Kid repeated. “It’s not a murder Mu. It’s a MYEURDERR!” Hat Kid shouted, correcting her best friend as she acted like the Conductor. Timmy and Mu rolled their eyes knowing their friend had been spending way too much time with the Conductor.

“So who did this?” Timmy asked.

“A Werecat!” A metro cat spoke up. The kid trio turned to the Metro cat, who was wearing big glasses.

“Huh?” The kid trio were confused. “What’s a Werecat?” Hat Kid asked.

Then another cat spoke up. “You three haven’t heard of a Werecat before?” She asked them. The kids shook their heads. The cat sighed and told the kid trio the story of the Werecat. “Legends say, a creature called a Werecat lurks in this world. They look like humans, but can transform into cats like us, but feral.” She explained.

Mu and Hat Kid smiled interested in the story, while Timmy looked frightened and nervous.

The cat continued her story on the Werecat. “Now many of us cats think Werecats are just legends, but recently many cats are saying they’ve seen a real live Werecat.”

“Really now?” Mu replied, she was now interested in this probably more into it then Hat Kid was. “Do you know what they look like?” She asked.

The cat shook her head. “No one got a look at the Werecat, we don’t know what color fur they have or if it's someone living close to the Metro.” The cat then looked back at the crime scene, which made the kid trio look back at it. “All we know is that the Werecat leaves their signature.” The kid trio saw the signature; right above the body was a bloody paw print on the wall.

“Alright everyone! Step back, this is a crime scene and we need everyone out of the way!” A cat officer commanded as they pushed everyone back so they could get back to investigating the crime scene. Once the kid trio were pushed away, Mu quickly grabbed Hat Kid and Timmy and took them somewhere alone.

Once the mustached girl saw she and her friends were alone, she gave a smirk. “You're thinking what I’m thinking?” She asked.

Hat Kid smirked, agreeing with her best friend. “Oh yeah.” She replied. The two girls high fived each other and said at the same time: “WERECAT HUNTING!”

“Oh no! I’m not being pulled into your shenanigans, Mu!” Timmy shouted, disagreeing with the duo.

“Come on Timmy, it’ll be fun!” Hat Kid reassured him. “It will be like those mystery or monster movies we watched!”

Timmy sighed knowing Hat Kid was right; he did enjoy those monster and mystery movies the two watched together. “I guess, but I know how you and Mu get when you two team up.”

Mu and Hat Kid looked at each other and chuckled. “True.” They both said at the same time.

“Look, all I’m saying is that this Werecat is a killer, and from my knowledge of movies we are putting ourselves in a life or death situation.” Timmy implied.

“Didn’t we all get into life or death situations since we landed here?” Hat Kid corrected him giving a smug smile.

Timmy glared back at his partner, “Don’t tell me.” He groaned, not wanting to be reminded of all the dangers he and Hat Kid went through since arriving on this planet.

“See.” Hat Kid pointed out. “So what could another crazy adventure do to hurt us?”

Timmy would reply and say “everything and anything” but Hat Kid was right. He then sighed and gave up. “I guess one more adventure wouldn’t hurt.” He sighed. Mu and Ha Kid cheered as a brand new adventure awaits them. This time no Time Pieces will be needed for this one, thankfully.

“Well, ready to head back to the ship and plan?” Hat Kid asked. Mu and Timmy nodded and Hat Kid pressed the teleporter on her watch and sent her, Mu and Timmy back on the spaceship and planned their hunt for the Werecat.

At a studio, Bow was getting ready for a photoshoot. She was wearing a green and blue sundress with her hair tied in pigtails by green polkadot ribbons. When she looked at herself in the mirror she gasped at what she saw, but soon the Empress came barging into her room.

“Bow!” She shouted. Bow gasped and turned, seeing the Empress, who was now disguised wearing a hat and glasses. “Care to explain this?!” The Empress then shoved her smartphone in the young idol’s face. Bow was confused for a second, till she looked at what was on the smartphone. Her eyes widened when she saw the news report on the murder of the cat thief.

Bow gulped and looked up at the Empress, “I-It wasn’t me.” She whimpered.

“Are you sure?” The Empress asked. Bow sighed as she handed the Empress her phone back. She was about to reveal the truth, but was interrupted by one of the photographer cats coming in.

“Bow, are you ready?” The cat asked.

“I am!” Bow quickly replied. She was relieved the photoshoot was about to start, making her not reveal to the Empress about the murder. As Bow walked out of her room the Empress grabbed her shoulder causing the idol to turn to face the taller cat.

“We’ll talk about this afterwards.” The Empress stated. Bow sighed and nodded, before the Empress let the young idol go on her way for her photoshoot.

The photoshoot was normal, Bow wore many different clothes and in different poses as the cats took pictures of her. Bow was smiling, but hiding the anxiety she was going through with the news story the Empress showed her.

Luckily, everything was alright throughout the photoshoot and Bow showed no sign of nervousness. Bow and Empress then drove back to the Empress’s shop, Le Felin. Once the two walked in, the Empress quickly shut the door and turned towards the idol with a glare.

“Alright, now will you tell me what happened?” The Empress asked.

Bow sighed as she turned to face the Empress, guilt was painted on her face. “Well, there was this cat thief and I had to stop him so…” She paused not wanting to say what she did to the Lazy Paw Cat thief.

The Empress sighed and shook her head. “Bow this is the third time you did this. I told you to keep your-” The Empress was then cut off by Bow.

“I know! This time was different. This cat stole something and I needed to stop them.” She explained.

The taller cat’s ears flopped down as she slowly made her way to the idol. “Listen Bow, you're an idol, and you're part of my gang.” The Empress told the idol. “You need to lay low on your powers because one day you’ll be caught and we’ll both be in trouble,” she paused to make Bow look up at her, “and you don’t want me in trouble, right?” Bow nodded slowly. The Empress then let go of Bow and patted her on the head. “Good kitten. Now, I’ll be doing work, and you do whatever it is you do as long as it’s not that.”

“Okay.” Bow replied. She watched the Empress leave to her own quarters leaving Bow alone in a quiet empty shop. Bow sighed and walked off to her own part of the shop, which was her bedroom. She turned on the lights and her room glowed.

The idol’s bedroom was painted mint green as photos and posters of her were all over the wall. She had a big bed with flowers all over it, a desk and a mirror. Bow collapsed on her bed and quickly passed out before she cleaned herself up and changed into pajamas. She had a long day, and was tired, which was acceptable for an idol like her.

Not too long after falling asleep, Bow’s eyes snapped open showing her having cat iris’s. She quickly got up and looked at the sky before opening the window and leaving her bedroom to venture the Metro.

Meanwhile, back on the ship Mu was drawing her plan on the chalkboard just like her plan for taking down the Mafia. “Alright, so here’s the plan.” Mu stated. “This plan is very, very simple.”

“Will it involve us doing something to the Werecat like selling it to some monster collector?” Timmy asked.

“No!” Mu said back. “We’re just going to get photographic evidence that it exists and then get money.” She explained. Timmy nodded in reply.

The two then heard Hat Kid humming as she drew a picture in crayon. She stopped doing what she was doing and turned to her friends. “I thought we could talk and befriend the Werecat.” She nervously answered as she showed the drawing of her, her friends and the Werecat with a rainbow over them.

Mu rolled her eyes and shook her head in disappointment. “Hat Kid, this is a dangerous creature. The closest thing we can get to it to be friends with us is to steal fish from the Mafia.” She pointed out. Hat Kid rolled her eyes in response.

“So, we’re just going to look for the Werecat and once we find it we take photos of it?” Timmy asked.

“Yep!” Mu replied with a smile. “See I told you it wouldn’t be too dangerous.”

“Well, alright.” Timmy shrugged. However, the young boy still kept his eyes on Mu. “However, we should stick together and not separate. Got it.”

Mu sighed. Splitting up is fun! You cover more ground, especially in a place like the Metro. “Fine.” She groaned. The trio then grabbed their cameras before Hat Kid set the coordinates on her telescope to send them back to the Metro.

“Ready team?” Hat Kid asked.

“Ready!” Timmy and Mu replied. With that, Hat Kid and her friends got sent back to the Metro.

if there was nowhere to land (i wouldn’t be scared at all) T, During Canon, 5+1fic/angst, 10.7k Meng Yao hasn't lead an easy life. He's been pushed around, beaten, and taken advantage of for nearly as long as he can remember... Falling down stairs is one of the worst things he's been through, and he's fallen more times than anyone should have to. OR Five times someone makes Meng Yao fall down a staircase, and one time someone saves him from falling.

they call me underneath M, Post-Canon, Grief/Mourning, 4.2k Lan Xichen never intended to visit the cemetery where his sworn brothers were interred together, but now that he's here, he can't make himself leave without at least trying.

a fine time to regret T, During Canon, Grief/Comfort, 2.3k As it turned out, even knowing Jin Rusong was going to die didn't give Jin Guangyao the chance to prepare himself for it.

NieYao

hold on to what we are T, During Canon, Fluff, 1.9k Meng Yao is dedicated to working harder than ever as the Sunshot Campaign is ramping up, but Nie Mingjue wants him to come to bed.

if you need it, then i need it (and only we'll know) E, During Canon, Sex Pollen, 13.1k Meng Yao and Nie Mingjue are on what they assume to be a normal scouting mission into Wen territory--but the day is turned on its head when they get a bit too close to some strange looking plants that release a thick cloud of pollen as they approach. By the time they make it back to camp, they're both already feeling the effects, and the camp's doctor has some mixed news to share. The bad news? The pollen will lead to a deadly qi deviation if left untreated. The good news? They know how to treat it! Now it's just up to Meng Yao and Nie Mingjue to act on it (and on the feelings they've been secretly harboring for one another for months).

when it comes time to rest my head E, Canon Divergent, Hurt/Comfort, 20.8k When Nie Mingjue spots the freshly bloodied handkerchief Jin Guangyao accidentally drops, his first sickening conclusion is that he's just caught him in the middle of some nefarious deed--but Nie Mingjue investigates further, and instead uncovers a series of injuries across Jin Guangyao's body that tell a much more heart-wrenching tale than the one Nie Mingjue first suspected. Can Nie Mingjue earn back enough of Jin Guangyao's trust to get him to accept the help he so clearly needs? Can he convince Jin Guangyao... to come back to Qinghe with him? i need your broken promises E, Canon Divergent, Werecat!JGY, 11.7k The night Meng Yao is promoted to be Nie Mingjue's deputy, he makes two requests: to be left alone on the night of the full moon, and to not be asked why he needs to be left alone. Nie Mingjue is extremely curious about this odd appeal, but he honors it regardless. Years later, when Nie Mingjue proposes, Meng Yao repeats his requests as the only stipulations for their marriage, and Nie Mingjue once again promises to let Meng Yao keep his secret... until he realizes that perhaps the secret isn't as well kept as he once thought, and he confronts Meng Yao to learn the truth.

the day bleeds into nightfall T, During Canon, Angst and Romance, 2.5k When Wen Chao attacks the Unclean Realm, Meng Yao rushes to release Xue Yang, and Nie Mingjue catches him stabbing his general. Nie Mingjue might have thought he was doing Meng Yao a mercy when he banished him... but Meng Yao isn't sure he agrees.

love me hard oh, love me right E, Modern AU, Rule 63 PWP, 2k Sometimes Meng Yao just needs to be gently dommed by her girlfriend until she cries, and you know what? That's valid.

the love held in her hands E, Modern Fantasy AU, Rule 63/Fairy!MY, 3k When Nie Mingjue's tiny fairy girlfriend asks to be fingered, Nie Mingjue immediately considers it to be a bad idea... but when her search for something more appropriately-sized drags on too long, she decides to give in to Meng Yao's impatient demands.

NieLan

the common tongue of your loving me E, Modern AU, 69ing, 3.7k Lan Huan and Nie Mingjue have been dating for almost two years now, but Nie Mingjue is always coming up with ways for him and his beau to have some new sort of fun in the bedroom. (Submission for NieLan Month 2020, Day 22 Desperation/Beauty/Awe. This is also the 69th fic I've uploaded to my AO3 account haha)

3zun

home is where my love waits E, Modern AU, Sexted Pics & DP, 5.1k Meng Yao is out of town on business for the weekend and Lan Huan and Nie Mingjue have the brilliant idea to send their absent boyfriend some spicy material to keep him warm while he's away (and definitely not because teasing him is very fun). When Meng Yao gets back to his hotel room at night to discover the proverbial feast, he's both very turned on and very frustrated to be so far away--but luckily for Meng Yao, they have more than adequate plans to make up for their teasing once he gets home.

i’ve had no love like your love E, Modern AU, happy birthday jgy!3some, 9.2k It's Meng Yao's birthday, and after working all day, he travels to Nie Mingjue's place in a swiftly escalating winter storm, where a night of warm wine and even warmer company awaits... Nie Mingjue and a tipsy Lan Huan have a delightful plan in place on just how they can warm him up.

how could i ask for more E, Modern Genderbend AU, CNC Roleplay, 14.3k When Meng Yao and Nie Mingjue ask Lan Huan what she wants for her birthday, they strongly imply it can be a sexual favor. Lan Huan asks for so little in the bedroom; she always seems content to just join in whatever activities her girlfriends partake in and never makes specific requests for herself. Of course, when Lan Huan actually indulges their suggestion, the last thing they expect from her is a detailed, written fantasy that she hands to them with an entirely red face... But if such a thing is what Lan Huan wants, Meng Yao and Nie Mingjue will make sure to give her exactly what she's asking for. Written for Whumptober 2020, Theme No 6. PLEASE… (“Get it Out” | No More | “Stop, please”).

there’s a hole in my soul (can you fill it?) E, Modern AU, Hurt/Comfort & Panic Attacks, 6.2k Meng Yao and Nie Mingjue were exes... until Lan Xichen fell in love with both of them and they decided to set aside their differences for his sake. When they're all together, life is bliss--but Meng Yao's relationship with Nie Mingjue is strained at best, and he notices early on in this reconciliation that the only time Nie Mingjue seems willing to hold him or be affectionate with him is after they have sex. Meng Yao has learned that, on the rare nights and weekends when Lan Xichen is away and he needs affection, that having sex with Nie Mingjue is the quickest and easiest way to get it. Lan Xichen just so happens to be out of town after Meng Yao has a particularly bad day at work. He needs the comfort more than ever, but when he tries to get it from Nie Mingjue the only way he knows how, it doesn't go the way he plans.

in my arms you’re safe and sound T, Vampire AU, Hurt/Comfort & Feeding, 2.9k Jin Guangyao is a dhampir who is fully turned when his father accepts him into the family--but Jin Guangshan treats him terribly, and when Nie Mingjue begins to realize how far this mistreatment goes, he drags Jin Guangyao off for a conversation which quickly escalates into an emotional shouting match that results in Nie Mingjue deciding that Jin Guangyao needs to be removed from Carp Tower immediately. Lan Xichen finds them just in time for the three sworn brothers to head together back to Qinghe, where Lan Xichen personally discovers one of the many awful things Jin Guangshan has done to hurt Jin Guangyao.

how were we to know E, Canon Divergent, MAJOR HURT/comfort, 12.9k (check AO3 for warnings on this one!) After the Sunshot Campaign, Meng Yao took Lan Xichen's offer to come live with him in the Cloud Recesses, sparking the beginning of their romantic relationship--which in turn uncovered their individual romantic histories with Nie Mingjue, and led to a shared romantic present with him. In the years since, the three have been in love and quite happy with their shared arrangement. However, eventual grief lingered at the back of their thoughts; they all knew the effect the saber spirit was gradually having on Nie Mingjue's mind and on his temperament, causing more frequent and more violent outbursts... Though none of them could have guessed the particular sort of violence it would lead Nie Mingjue to commit one night alone with Meng Yao.

when you are lost and i am gone M, Canon Divergent, Character Death, 2k When Lan Xichen had received the letter from Meng Yao, he'd left the camp at once to meet him in the forest outside of Nightless City, but even still, he arrives a second too late to do anything but watch as one of his friends cuts down the other. a light on the other side M, Modern AU, JGY-centric, 2.6k As a child, Meng Yao had only ever met his father in passing, as he had a family of his own and wanted little to do with the child that resulted from his affair with Meng Yao's mother. But when Meng Shi passed away tragically, 13 year old Meng Yao was sent to live with his father, spending the rest of his teen years in a living hell until he was able to escape... A few years later, another affair and another tragedy brought infant Mo Xuanyu into the Jin household and Meng Yao returned to keep him safe from the fate he'd suffered himself. Life there is awful, though not nearly as bad as it was before, as Meng Yao spends most of his time alone caring for Mo Xuanyu. However, a few months into his return, Meng Yao is presented with a unique opportunity when, late one night, he finds Jin Guangshan collapsed on the floor of his office.

Bigg City Riders!AU + Giant!AU (CH: 2) Pick Up

Chap 2 of what if @bigg-city-riders-au Riders!AU met my Giant!AU.

As the tugs woke up with the sun as they gave fog filled breaths that puffed out of their mouths. Zebedee was told to not wait for the briefing as he was needed at the coast with Hercules as soon as possible. He gave his body a little shimmy before backing out of the dock and heading up for the mouth of the harbor to turn into the coast.

As he travelled along the cliff faces to get to the next harbor neighbouring Bigg City, at the mouth of the next harbor he could see that at their fuelling platform there was a bit of a commotion on the wind. When he got close enough he could see why.

Standing right beside the dockside just a few steps away from the cranes was a giant human with three long ears on each side of its head. It had brown hair and blue eyes and looked rather worried as it looked down and the water, Zebedee could then see that a few tugs who had riders on their bows were cornering it. He sailed over quickly to get a better look when he saw Hercules with Prizm off to the side, the ocean tug was glaring at the giant watching it closely with Prizm close to his face and the tug holding him there gently with his anchored claw.

When Zebedee came up to the Star tug he chuffed in greeting and when Hercules heard him he chuffed back and eased his hold on Prizm. “Ah Zebedee, glad you finally made it.” He said smiling kindly and letting Prizm jump over to the other tug. “Hi Zeb!” the ten year old said gracefully jumping up to the Z-stacks face. “Hey Priz, you have a good time?” Zebedee said nuzzling into the boy.

Prizm was a werecat with pure white fur but it had a transparent rainbow gloss to it, like looking at crow feathers only to find in their shine they have a rainbow. Hence why his name was Prizm.

“I had a great time! And guess what? I’m now a rider!” Prizm gleefully said jumping up and down. “Really? Who’s the lucky tug?” Zeb asked having a feeling that a few of the tugs who didn’t still have riders were going to be disappointed that Prizm was off the board. “Right here.” Hercules said with a smile. Zebedee couldn’t help but smile back. “Captain Star I feel like would be proud.” He said looking to the young man snuggling up to his cheek when he then looked toward the giant that was still cornered.

“Say, do you know what’s up with that?” “Yes actually, it raised out from the water and was then standing on it as if it were solid ground. It appeared to have its sights set on me so when it started approaching I blew some fire at it and that’s when some tugs and their riders came in for the assist. I backed up to make sure it wouldn’t get to Prizm and now we’re here.” Hercules said looking at the giant and then noticed Prizm jump back across to him taking their attentions back to the little boy. “Zip actually came into dock last night freaking out about a giant he saw last night. He said it was maybe fifteen meters tall with one normal looking eye and a black one with weird fin ear hybrid looking things on the sides of its head.” Zebedee’s explanation of the giant Zip saw last night actually seemed to get the one they had in front of them’s attention, its ears all flicked towards them and it looked up from the tugs that were blocking it.

“Uh, Zeb? Whatever you just said seemed to get that one’s attention.” Prizm said pointing to the giant. Both tugs looked back to the giant and found that, yes indeed, its attention was on them. Hercules hissed softly and bared his sharp teeth, Zebedee doing the same flicking his tow rope as well in agitation.

The giant looked back down to the blockade in front of him and then back to the two Bigg City tugs. It’s ears flattened down and it grew a sorrowful look as if it wanted to get to them, but was afraid of getting hurt. It started looking around to see if there was something it could do when it saw the cliff face behind it that it was being backed into. It looked to smirk and then turned around in a jump and began to scale the cliff with clawed finger and toenails, it climbed up the cliff with riders and tugs trying to swipe at it but the giant was already out of reach.

When it was up high enough it did a leaping push off from the cliff face and jumped clear over the blockade and landed back standing on the water with a half sunk splash. When it righted itself and stood up completely it took one last look at the two tugs and then made a break for it out to the open ocean, it ran for a mile or so before it dived into the water and then it quickly swam away under the surface. Leaving Zebedee, Prizm and Hercules very confused/shocked at what just happened.

Dream SMP - Not So Human AU

Basically, no one in the SMP is an absolute human. Of course what the SMP members are can change over time to fit certain scenarios/stories any of us come up w/. I wanna see this AU spread tho tbh. (Side note, I don’t know much about Dream SMP lore much less the characters.)

Dream - Humanoid Slime who happens to be/posessed by a Transmuted Dreamon. His nature as a slime makes him more slippery & thus harder to catch. Also, just because he was exorcised doesn’t mean he can’t be possessed by another Dreamon or the same one from before.

George - Gorgon. Idk anything about George. I mean the nature of a Gorgon would give George a reason to always wear glasses, & George gets wings!

Sapnap - Fire Breathing Dragon/Human hybrid or descendent of a Blaze. I mean, he has burned some stuff. Maybe if he’s part dragon he decides to eat Fungi after accidentally killing him as well as the other pets so as to get rid of the evidence. Perhaps he goes around killing pets because of his instincts as a dragon. 

Callahan - Deer/Human hybrid.

Awesamdude - Creeper/Human hybrid. Pretty easy one.

Alyssa - Nymph. She’s helps Ponk during the disk war after his lemon tree’s burned down, & she makes a horse barn near Antfrost’s animal shelter. I geuss her domain would have to do w/ animals more than plants.

Ponk - Dryad. I already did a post on him being one though.

BadBoyHalo - Dreamon. Demons & Dreamons seem to be the same thing, they just have different titles, maybe the terms are interchangeable? What’s the difference between the two.

Tommy - Faerie/Human. Look, I’m all for Tubbo & Tommy being Faeries. Being part fae also seems to fit w/ Tommy’s character. IDK if the disks are shiny, maybe Tommy prefers disks/anything that makes music over shinies.

Tubbo - Faerie/Human or Faerie/Moobloom/Human hybrid. He liked bees alot, & being part moobloom would bring in the fluff. Not to mention my most recent reblog.

Punz - Golem/Revived Human? IDK, I was thinking that he’d be a very humanoid golem made for Dream & Dream’s only order at first was to be a good person, in the future it would be to fight for him. Of course Punz would still have free will. The other route could be that Punz died but Dream or the dreamon in him would revive Punz making Punz loyal to Dream. Perhaps Sapnap can also be involved w/ reviving Punz hence Punz’s reason to help Sapnap all the time he was in a conflict.

Fundy - Kitsune. I saw a post saying that Sally & Fundy could be Kitsunes since Kitsunes can shapeshift & so Wilbur could’ve met Sally as a salmon but it’s still make sense as to why Fundy came out a humanoid fox.

Purpled - Golem. IDK beings other than golems which follow orders. Maybe when he was made, he was told to “follow the orders you’re given” by his maker hence why he was a yes-man & despite getting involved w/ conflicts he winds up being neutral in the end.

Wilbur - Fae/Human. TBH, I might as well make everyone in the SBI Fae/Human hybrids.

Jschlatt - Satyr obviously, they’re litterally depicted as drinkers at least during Ancient Greek iirc.

Skeppy - Diamond Golem. I saw a post about Skeppy being a diamon golem, doubt I’ll be able to find it.

Eret - Gorgon, Fae, or fae/human. Again, it’s only because they have glasses that I thought of them being a Gorgon, but since Eret will only side w/ whoevers victory will benifit him according to the wiki, being a Fae seems to make sense.

Jack - Descendant of a Dragon or Dragon/Human hybrid. Since he can be bribed, maybe he wants the stuff for his horde?

Niki - Unicorn/Human hybrid. Um, Niki owns a bakery & w/ the idea of unicorns being able to purify poisoned water, it she wouldn’t have a problem w/ having clean water?

Quackity - Shapeshifter. I was thinking that he’d be human/duck hybrid, but why can’t he be a shapeshift that chooses a human/duck hybrid as his typical form. It’d also explain the whole Mexican Dream stuff that happens.

Karl - Vampire/Werewolf. He makes alot of buildings and those 2 creatures are more physically capable than your typical humans, not to mention that being either would give him good reasons to have 2 partners who are close to him.

HBomb - Werecat. IDK what else to make him. Not to mention that cats can be pretty violent when HBomb’s the oppossite of that.

Technoblade - Piglin or Human/Hoglin hybrid or the Humanoid Pig like he canonically is.

Antfrost - Werecat.

Philza - Fae/Human hybrid. That explains the wings he’s always depicted w/.

ConnerEatsPants - Werehedgehog or Hedgehog/Human hybrid.

CaptainPuffy - Sheep selkie. That onzie is her sheep fur/skin. Since she’s always wearing said skin, she can become a sheep or sheep/human hybrid whenever she wants. TBH I thought of this before the reblog b4 this post inspired me to make this one.

Vikkstar - Watcher. As in the Watchers from Minecraft Evo, I couldn’t think of anything else. I’ve never even watched Vikkstar.

LazarBeam - Gingerbread Man. Hopefully no one is starving near him.

Ranboo - Enderman/Inverted Enderman hybrid. I guess we’re pulling a lab experiment backstory on this one lads.

haha random vampire jj and werewolf anti lore go brr

I think you already know this, but @glass-trash-bab came with the concept of Ghost Chase and vampire hunter (transformed into a vampire lol) Stacy

Then I thought "hmm what about Jackie". And follow me: if Chase is a ghost and Stacy is now a vampire, it means they were human at some point right?

So what if they were all friends (yeah Chase and Stacy dates;; bi4bi couple bb), and then Chase died, Stacy turned into a vampire and Jackie is just. a human

Like he was there sad as fuck that Chase died and Stacy disappeared;; then Chase appears by his side "dude i'm a ghost now" ":0". Stacy comes back later too and she's like "oh well guess I'm a vampire now" and they both ":00"

And here's the thing: ghosts are souls with unfinished tasks, right? So what if Chase's unfinished task is say "i love you" to Jackie

Not in a romantic way;; is just that they know each other since they were kids and Chase never said how he truly appreciates Jackie's friendship and how he's very thankful for it

But if Chase reveals this to Jackie, he'll disappear!!! So he always says with other things like "did you sleep well", "did you come home safe" and etc etc. idk guys I thought about this yesterday and am sad :((

Also I guess I said this once but Henrik is a vampire too, he's JJ's cousin that's why jj goes to german

And yesterday I was debating with myself if I should do an WitchDoctor because all my aus with Anti being friends with Marvin and dates JJ,, WitchDoctor always comes together <<<

But I also have. my dochero heart.

So what do you think about a witchdochero. marvin and henrik fight to see if jackie will be a werecat or a vampire and jackie is like "dudes i..... i'm fine being a human...... haha shocking right......."

transform with pyra for the au questions? :0 (@lilacslovers)

Ooh, sure thing, @lilacslovers​! Thank you very much for this! ^-^

(question source: “Okay Hear Me Out, Ask Game” by dragonsmooch)

Transform: What are your thoughts on if your inhuman F/O(s) and/or SI was human? For human F/Os and/or SIs - what inhuman creature would you imagine them as? Alternatively, what if your F/O(s) and/or S/Is had to permanently change forms for each other, because a need arose? - Hmm.. Technically there are two ways I can take this. I could either do it in the context of the mythical AU, where Sapphire is a werecat and Pyra is a dragon cursed to stay stuck in a weaker human form. because a) she has fire powers and b) I just think she would be really cool as a dragon. Also because that would make her “siblings” dragons, Mythra being one of them, and being a dragon fits the both of them very well personality-wise.

Or, I could go with something actually set in Alrest, where Pyra is a human and Sapphire’s the Blade. I guess Pyra as a human wouldn’t be that different apart from the lack of a Core Crystal, but Sapphire as a Blade could be pretty cool to play around with! Not sure on the weapon and element though.. Maybe wind Knuckle Claws, like Adenine? Or to steal one of the unique weapon types, the bow form of the Calamity Scythe, since it’s never actually used in its bow form on the Blade who has it in-game and that’s not fair at all!! Her Core Crystal would look like a classic gemstone shape, fitting her name, and she’d be pretty evasion-focused with some offensive capabilities but mostly focusing on supporting teammates through party-affecting skills and minor healing potential!

(It would also be pretty cool to think about Pyra as Sapphire’s Driver!)

I hope this is okay! Thank you very much again for sending this in, Lilac~

Sci fantasy au ramble time lets gooooo

So I've been thinking a lot abt morfonica in the sci fantasy au, and more specifically their respective relationships with their families. Now I've touched a bit on Touko before since they have a bit of a worst case scenario situation, but I don't think I've really talked abt the other four much before, and I probably should talk more abt how they were adopted into their families to begin with.

Rui has the simplest backstory, with her being adopted in a fairly normal manner. Her parents were in a situation where they couldn't afford to raise a werecat baby that wouldn't know to keep itself hidden since their identities as werecats were very much not public within even their household, but they still wanted a kid, so adopting a human child seemed to be their best option. They did their best to hide the fact they were werecats from her, but that resulted in them being.... Incredibly distant. And it's not even like they did a good job at hiding it, Rui still ended up growing up with a vague understanding of what they are.

I've touched a bit on Nanami before, but I didn't rly talk much abt how she was raised. Despite her family being demons, she was raised fairly normally, well as normal as she could get anyways. Her parents were still artists and tried to encourage her to follow a similar path, but some of her other adoptive relatives lived in the same manor, and while they were generally polite enough, she still ended up having to sit through a lot of demon magic lessons along with being taught how to make proper demonic contracts, which while usually a human wouldn't be able to do any of those things, she was able to thanks to the great amounts of demonic magic inside her that was keeping her alive. Thanks to being able to do all this stuff along with the casual nature most of her families discussions with her abt demon stuff, she actually didn't know for a long time that she was even human, let alone adopted. Yeah most of their true forms looked very different from her, but they rarely took those forms and it wasn't like anyone had told her. It wasn't until her family got the notice about the evacuation that she was told about any of this, so yeah that's a lot of stuff that was suddenly dumped on her

Unlike Nanami and Rui, Mashiro has very much been aware of the fact that she's adopted for a long time, so it's not a big deal to her. Her moms are both vampires, and that combined with the fact that one of them is an ocean vampire meant that she spent her early years fairly isolated, although they still tried their best to allow her to interact with other people when they could. They ended up adopting her after her ocean vampire mom saved her from a ship wreck when she was only a little over a year old, and Mashiro has absolutely heard this story many times djdbhdjd. Her moms are very doting, although they can be a bit clingy at times thanks to the fact that they aren't technically allowed to raise her. When it comes to vampires, it takes a lot of work just to be allowed to move in with a non vampire, even more so to date one, and it's basically impossible to adopt one, since there's basically no systems set in place for it. You want a kid? Great, they'll encourage that, but it either has to be biologically yours or you can apply to be assigned to raise an orphaned or turned vampire kid. Mashiro doesn't fit into either of these categories, so they have to br very careful about raising her to avoid getting the attention of the local vampire organisations. This actually becomes a much bigger issue later in the story, but dw abt it for now

Now Tsukushi is the other one who's pretty much always been well aware that she's adopted, but this time it's actually a bit more of a touchy subject for her, thanks to how much controversy within vampire communities her existence has brought, which others outside of her immediate adoptive family make very clear at almost every given opportunity. Basically, she ended up being filed into vampire records and adopted into a waiting family as a turned baby, after a vampire who had lost control over their beast form had killed her parents and only barely didn't kill her, although she was still infected by their venom. She was registered into the systems before she had been properly turned, and given to a family to raise her. Now, after someone is infected by this kind of werebeast or vampire venom, they will get horribly sick, with three possible results. They either die and stay dead, die and then come back as a vampire or werebeast, or in incredibly rare cases, they simply recover. The latter is such a rare event that most modern day vampires and werebeasts don't even know it's a possibility, and well, guess what happened with Tsukushi. This caused a lot of discourse within vampire communities, since a human being allowed to be considered a full member of a vampire family was unheard of, but she had already been fully put in the records, along with fully legally adopted by the family, and at this point the only way to take her out of the picture would be to kill her, which wasn't a great option to say the least. Ultimately it was ruled that there wasn't much that could be done about her situation and that they'd just leave her to be raised within their community, but this was still very much a controversial ruling, even if no one against it could really do anything about it. While Tsukushi's immediate family are generally very caring and do their best to keep her from witnessing too much of the discourse, she is still very much aware of the whole situation. She tries to not focus on it too much, but it definitely doesn't help with her already existing self confidence issues.
