Knight Rider: Next Generation

I've done a Stargate Next Generation post before, and now here I am doing one for Knight Rider!

The Idea:

Michael Knight {David Hasselhoff} puts F.L.A.G. back together. He takes on the role that Devon Miles used to have in the original show.

Michael finds KITT's old memory banks in an old F.L.A.G. storage vault and uses them to help rebuild KITT. William Daniels reprises his role as the voice of KITT.

Michael hires his granddaughter, Mica Knight, as KITT's new driver. She's very much like a younger female version of Michael. Michael develops a new appreciation for Devon and how the man managed to stay sane throughout all of Michael's shenanigans! KITT and Mica become fast friends, with KITT experiencing a lot of deja vu moments whenever Mica does something especially Michael like.

Bonnie returns with her Grandson, James, to the foundation as KITT's mechanic once more. Bonnie teaches James everything about KITT and how to maintain him.

James and Mica develop a sort of romantic-ish relationship, with a will they won't they get together bit throughout most of the show.

Maybe we find out that Garth had a kid of his own before he died in the original show. And now that kid is all grown up and causing havoc for Mica and the Foundation. The kid blames Michael, KITT, and the Foundation for their father's death and they want revenge. Maybe they even have a kid of their own whose around the same age or maybe a little younger than Mica. They've tried to raise their kid to hate Michael and the Foundation as much as them, but the kid wants nothing to do with their parent's revenge schemes. The kid didn't even know their grandfather, and is able to recognize that Garth was a bad guy who caused his own death. Garth's grand kid defects to the Foundation becoming part of team F.L.A.G.

And maybe we find out that somehow KARR survived as well and makes a come back of his own. Maybe he starts out still being evil, but somehow Mica manages to rehabilitate him. Maybe Garth's grand kid who defected to the Foundation becomes KARR's driver.

I always tell myself to not get too emotionally attached to old series and shows from the 60s, 70s and 80s cause eventually that will make me feel old, sad and terribly nostalgic (especially when I'm 40+ years late!) but I really cannot help it.

Sometimes I just wish I had experienced them when they came out, with the rest of the world.

If you're still doing snippets, I don't think we've had the Eldritch Trio one yet?

Also the Weird Omegaverse Warprize Thing is intriguing from the bits so far.... honestly I'm generally stoked for the entirety of the list.

If you feel like showing off one that hasn't been mentioned yet, blank space here!

Eldritch Trio:

The trio are all staring at Voltehre in bafflement as Lambert sits down. Well, Gweld is staring a little bit over Voltehre’s head. He never looks anyone in the eye unless he means to overpower their will. But the bafflement is still definitely there. “Hello,” Eskel says at last, a little warily. “Did you lose a bet?” “No,” Voltehre says, giving Eskel a sunny smile. “I wanted to say hello, and Lam thinks you’re fascinating.” Lambert covers his face with a hand and prays the Grasses really did destroy his ability to blush. “Fascinating,” Geralt rumbles, and Lambert shudders at the sound. It’s not fear running down his spine, though maybe it should be. “Fascinating,” Gweld lilts, sounding amused. Lambert puts his hands on the table to push himself upright - he isn’t going to stay here and be mocked, fuck Voltehre for dragging him into this - One of Eskel’s tentacles curls around his wrist. “Stay,” Eskel says. “Fascinating’s better than most of the things we get called when they think we can’t hear.”

Weird omegaverse war prize thing:

As the barbarians finish eating, they get up and leave the hall, without any ceremony whatsoever; by the time Jaskier has cleared his plate, the hall is three-quarters empty. And it’s as he’s setting his mug down empty - he has to admit he rather likes the strong tisane they were served - that a beautiful young woman gets up from one of the other tables, leans down to kiss the barbarian she was sitting next to on the mouth, and comes striding over to the omegas. She’s tall and blonde, with blue-grey eyes and a generously curved figure that suggests both strength and probable fertility, and as she gets close enough to smell, Jaskier realizes she’s an omega. He wracks his brain hastily, but he doesn’t think the young barbarian she kissed was one of those who claimed any of Jaskier’s companions, so she’s probably not coming over to assert her own prior claim to her alpha - “Hullo,” she says, sliding onto the bench across from Jaskier. “I’m Julita.”

And for the author's choice - knight!Milena

The first thing Lambert thinks when he sees the armored figure riding at the manticore is, Well shit, that’s a waste of a good horse. It is a good horse: an enormous black stallion, maybe even larger than Scorpion, with absolutely beautiful conformation. It dwarfs its rider entirely; Lambert, watching the coming catastrophe with a grimace, assumes some squire has stolen his knight-master’s mount and is trying to prove himself worthy of his spurs, and is just going to get himself eaten for his trouble. Manticores are basically only vulnerable at eyes and mouth, and the chances of the rider hitting either of those with a lance-tip from a full gallop are… Lambert’s own mouth drops open, and he stands there gaping like a complete nitwit as the rider’s lance takes the manticore squarely in its open maw, the full force of the horse’s weight behind it, and the manticore goes back on its haunches and then over onto its side, taking the lance with it. The rider reins in the horse, curving neatly away from the fallen monster, and trots around to face his defeated enemy, sensibly drawing his sword as he goes. The manticore is busy going through its death throes, though; the rider halts his horse and waits, alert but unmoving, until the creature finally breathes its last.

Pick a Card: What can you expect this Aries season?

Hello!! I came back with another pick a card reading. This one will be a general one in which I’ll describe the things you can expect this Aries season, so, please, enjoy!!

Now, take a few breaths to calm down, close your eyes if you need it, and then choose the option that first captures your attention.

Pile 1:

(Six of Cups, Nine of Wands Rx, Ace of Wands, Three of Pentacles, Letter, Anchor, Llily)

Welcome, pile 1!! The theme of this Aries season for this pile revolves around emotions and how to connect emotionally with other people, especially with family members or partnerships.

It could be possible that some of you who choose this pile had a hard time with the work department recently. Maybe you were fired, had an accident, your salary was reduced due to the inflation, or tried to make an investment that didn’t gave the results you expected. This season, you are encouraged to keep healing from these situations. Keep your resources safe, because I see that this time is not a great time to overspend the money you have.

In terms of health, this season will bring inspiration and recovery. The energy or health you lost during this last period will increase, especially to those who live in the northern hemisphere and are receiving the spring season. Spending time in nature, under the sun, could help you greatly to overcome any health problem, mentally or physically, you may have.

In terms of romance, this season could be a very good opportunity to meet someone new through work or university, for those who are single; to become engaged, for those of you who are dating someone for some time; or to become, officially, a relationship.

Thing to look forward to this season: a letter or a message that could relate to love. If you declare your love for someone, or ask the other to marry you or to turn your relationship to the next level, there is a huge chance that your partner will say yes or will confess their love for you too.

This is all I have for you, pile 1. Hope it resonated and see you in the next pac reading.

Pile 2

(10 of Pentacles, Temperance, Knight of Cups, 8 of Wands, Ship, Rider, House)

Welcome, pile 2!! This Aries season will be all about money, abundance, prosperity, and opportunities for you!! Congratulations!!

Your spirit team have heard your prayers and manifestation to become successful, gain money, or have the job/promotion you were looking for. They are guiding and fully supporting you at this season to help you, along with your efforts, to reach the goals and manifestations you’ve settled. Pay attention to dreams, thoughts, meditations or ideas you may have this season, for they can have secret messages for you and that could have come from your guides or spirit angels.

In terms of health, this season could bring the opportunity to heal or balance your emotional side. If you were feeling side or alone, then someone could come to bring you comfort and a shoulder to cry on if you feel like it.

In love, you will have plenty of opportunities to meet new people. No matter if they come from different backgrounds or countries (or if you travel to different places), you will be able at this time to connect with them and start, for some, long distance relationships or have some intense and casual encounters for others who may not lead to a long term relationship. For those who are taken, you may be able to travel with your partner to ignite their passionate feelings for the other again.

Things to expect this Aries season: travel, movement, building a legacy or increasing your finances. For those who are looking a new place to live, you may be able to do so. There is a higher chance to move in another country.

This is all I have for you, pile 2. The best of luck to you and what you want to achieve!!

Pile 3

(The Hermit, King of Cups, Two of Swords, Four of Swords, Queen of Swords, Dog, Mountain, Snake)

Welcome, pile 3!!

Ok, this pile tells me that this pile need to seriously seek time of introspection to prioritize their physical and mental health. Maybe to seek professional help for a few to help you cope with this time that seems so conflicting to you.

I know this is a general Pick a Card reading, but I have the urge to talk about an specific scenario that maybe only a few of you may resonate. If you don’t resonate, you are free to choose another pile.

Ok, pile 3. I’m sensing a lost person, a lost soul. Someone who doesn’t know where to go, what actions to take, what path to choose, and that is probably going through a Dark Night of the Soul. You have encountered many obstacles in your life, especially this resent time, and it can be felt that you are exhausted. Some could be even a little depressed.

This group is spending so much time on your mind, overthinking, worrying, stressing yourself so much by trying to find a way out or another path, to the point of exhausting your body, mind, and soul. I’m so sorry, pile 3. This is not happening because the Universe hates you, or because you are not worthy enough to receive blessings, peace or something like that. On the contrary. I can see that you are a loving being. An empath. And a loyal person. The thing is that you are investing your emotions and loyalty into things or people that no longer serves you. Especially people.

You are surrounding yourself, or you already have for some time, with sneaky people who doesn’t care about your emotional being or who you are as a person. They only care about what you provide to them. This people could be friends, family, or romantic connections. But I strongly feel that these individuals are romantically involved with these small group of people. So, it can be your spouse or romantic partner.

This person is very airy, very intelligent, and their words can change the way you think due to how smart or logical those words sounds. But they can also act very cold towards you and manipulative. For some, they can have narcissistic tendencies. This person, no matter if they are romantic or not, has sneaky intentions towards you and have left you nothing but confusion, pain, and mental health issues. So now you don’t know what to do or where to go.

This Aries season you will be encouraged, since there will be more opportunities to do so, to isolate yourself from these energies that brings you nothing but burdens. To REST. To HEAL. And to CONNECT WITH YOUR HIGHER SELF AND SPIRIT GUIDES since they will have the answers you are looking for. YOU have the answers that you are looking for. Deep within. These sneaky people don’t have the answers to your problems and what you should do. YOU have it. All that is needed is just a disconnection from these energies so you can find, within, the solutions on how to act next. If there is this slight intuitive or gut feeling that you should end things with this person, then do it. Our intuition never lies.

This was a very specific pile so, if this message didn’t resonate for some, then feel free to chose another. For those of you who did resonate, I send you a virtual hug and light towards you.

⟢ Heart of Chaos AU: The Masterpost!

❛❛ Oh, great Master Emerald, please, I wish for a brave hero who is the balance between Chaos and Peace. One who never backs down in the face of danger, who doesn't stop fighting for their friends and what is right! Might a brave equidna warrior be their fiercely loyal friend, let them fight alongside as if they were kin. Seal this evil away, amending the horrors done by my tribe...❜❜ — Tikal The Equidna.

Welcome to the HoC masterpost! Here I'll give the bullet points on each arc and get down the basics of this AU!

Originally posted: 15/11/24 | Last edited: 15/11/24

◊—› So, what's Heart of Chaos about? . . .

In a nutshell, what if Sonic was The Master Emerald? We get Dark Sonic back and also, I am obsessed with werehog, so we get a redo of that as well as every single arc rewritten, for the most part (there's some I don't have enough knowledge about some of the spin off games heheo). There's a lot of themes of generational trauma, self-worth, losing the sense of yourself and finding it again, etc.

↳ Basic navigation . . . Heart of Chaos Tag | Heart of Chaos Bsky tag | Toyhouse folder ↳ Cast's tags . . . Patch The Painted Dog | Maple The Sable | Oakley The Opposum And yes the canon cast don't have tags because I thought it would be redundant since its all I draw...just search their canon names in my blog!

Below are the arc bullet points.

Soon to be added: Illustrated timeline, trivia, and more!

"Origins" segment

Spikes Toodlerhood arc.

- Basically spikes being raised by Tikal and creatures of Angel Island. Tikal seals herself and Chaos in a pond next in Spikes' birthplace.

Ecoterrorism arc.

- Basically the events of Origins. Spikes gets civilized by Miles and Ames. Spikes meets Knux and then Ignis.

House arrest arc.

- SA 1 happens and Spikes feels forced to stay in Angel Island after being revealed to him that Dark Spikes is a thing. He spends the time there training his ass off with Knux. Predictably so, Spikes doesnt like staying in one place, so he and Miles sneak off to mainland, which is where he meets the babylon rogues for the first time.

- SA2 happens. Shade <3

- Sonic heroes happens. Spikes is super excited to have Shade back, he tries to bond with him... Pretty succesfully so.

"Godhood" segment

Speeding ticket arc

- This is basically the Sonjet, or how I like to call em, Speeding Ticket arc. Funnily enough, this is also where Spikes begins to realize he's aroace but not yet. I havent changed a lot bc I rlly like the riders games.

Dimensional travels arc.

- This is where all the weird shit happens with Rings and Black Knight. And also Snoutman. Snoutman is canon to the Heart of Chaos universe. Black Knight is the most focused on, it's more of an open world game, but in the same way frontiers is.

S2HT arc.

- ShTH happens. Eclipse The Darkling is in ShTH events and is presumed dead by the end of it. Sonic 06 happens and we discover what happens when The Master Emerald itself dies. There is Sonalise, this is where Spikes fully realizes he's aroace and only experiences queerplatonic attraction.

Sonic Colors happens after Sonic 06 and is where Spikes has is birthday.

"Happy birthday" segment.

Werehog arc.

- This is A Lot, but basically this is the arc where Spikes is given a wake up call and slap down to his ego. This arc is pretty grim, but it has a lot of good moments too. It spans for more than a couple months while they try to fix Mobius again.

Generations arc.

- After losing Chip and going through the horrors, Spikes begins travelling a lot and finding comfort in his friendnship with Shade. Then crazy shit starts happening, there is no classic spikes or anything, but Mephiles does come back as the Time Eater. More Sonelise and Milkshake moments and actually also Shadlise, YEAH YOU DIDNT SEE THAT COMIN DID YA-

Forces arc.

- Oh god. Well, lets start at the beginning. This is where my oc Patch The Painted Dog, "Sky's Spark", gets introduced. With him there is oc x canon with Howlite (Silver). He's also childhood friends with Tangle and Jewel. We also half meet Whisper during this arc.

- Spikes gets kidnapped by Infinite to power Eggmans invasion with Spikes' chaos energy aka, his life source. Spike is kept chained and restrained without the abiity to move his arms and legs for the majority of his stay there, so much that he loses the ability to walk which he realizes once he's being rescued. This is also where the frienemy-eggdad situation completely breaks as we learn that Spikes is inmortal, because Eggman attempts to kill him when he realizes that he doesn't need his power anymore and he can just create more Phantom Rubies to power his war.

- Pretty much the whole tone switches. During the war, a lot of the characters are forced to grow up, like Ames and Miles. Miles has almost a complete 180 from the cheerful kid he was before as he takes an important role in the war as the one who arms The Resistance. Knux basically makes him man up.

"Humbled" segment.

Post-war arc.

- Basically physical therapy arc for Spikes, he had to rush this slow progress for the sake of the war.

- We meet Whisper fully. Spikes and Whisper ond over being traumatized by war so much so that they feel they are no longer themselves.

- Mr. Tinker is a thing and Spikes has to deal with that. He ends up leaving Shade and The Chaotix on charge of watching him.

- Metal kidnaps Spikes bc he wants his awful dad back. She ends up running off after she realizes Eggman is gone.

- Starline happens.

Zombot arc.

- Pain, pain and pain! Spikes is not coping with this well at all. This arc is grim as hell. Shade sacrifices himself to save the few refuges left + Team Dark, he's one of the first ones gone. Spikes doesnt have his emotional attack dog anymore and he's always so close to losing it.

Milkshake & Co arc.

- Shade is back and now Spikes is codependent /j, he finally gets properly taught how to use his chaos energy in a productive way as well as help manage it.

- We meet Maple The Sable and Oakley The Opposum. Maple has a oc x canon going on with Cream!

Surge arc.

- Spikes gets a break? Too bad, let's break his peace. Starline's back.

- I dont have a lot written but basically, Surge and Kit are around for about 4-5 months. Starline gets fried and drowned by Surge and Kit before escaping.

- Surge and Kit are out to get Spikes & Miles.

- Kit and Miles do get in a fight. Kit loses, miserably.

- Surge is pissed the fuck off about it bc they kidnapped drippy and she's alone...with her thoughts.

- She attacks Spikes at night after following him, planning to kill him. They get in a fight, Surge "kills" Spikes but he's able to finish her in his Shattered form. She's dead for a while before she wakes up again.

- She tries killing Miles and Spikes again, Shade is fed up with her shit for trying to kill his weirdo and atom bombs her pretty much. Now she's gone forever.

- Kit and Miles actually do bond.

Generational trauma arc. - Knux and Spikes' beef finally hits the fan. Knux has been stressing about Spikes being almost killed again and he's just been being the worst pretty much. Spikes and Knux fight each other like dogs.

"Moonlight" segment.

Eclipse arc.

- To be added

Milkshake 2.0 arc.

- To be added

Crown of Thorns arc.

- To be added

WIP Word Game

Rules: you will be given a word. share one sentence/excerpt from your wip(s) that start with each letter of that word.

The word that @spaceofentropy tagged me in is... BATCH. The C was the hardest to come by, and my sentences are comically hideously long, so I just found passages where sentences in close proximity started with the given letters!

All from next chapter of Only One Bed:

BAT:

Better get to lifting, Robin had joked, only the funny thing was… he had been? And not even just out of some not-so-subconscious urge to impress Billy—as soon as he landed a job that would require prolonged shirtlessness, he’d started hitting the home gym hard.

…And also stopped shaving his chest, though that had been more of a gamble, inspired by a mundane moment that had haunted his psyche: Billy in the parking lot after school, lounging against the hood of the Camaro, shirt unbuttoned to his navel, gaping wide under the leather jacket—and Steve had lost track of things en route to his car, gaze probing the play of shadows on tanned skin, toned chest, when a wolf whistle jerked him back to earth. Munson, hands cupped to holler Hey, there, Knight Rider! And Billy’s laugh, a silky, flirty sound: How about a little Turbo Boost?

Steve had driven home, gone about his evening, only for that laugh to swamp him again as he sat flipping channels—Billy’s head tipped back, lips parted, hint of teeth—when he stumbled upon a souped-up Firebird mid chase scene. He’d watched the entire episode. Hadn’t meant to compare Billy to Hasselhoff, but did.

The main difference was the chest hair—the thatch of dark that peeked from a deep V of fabric—and why was it only called cleavage on a chick? When the plush curve of pecs, hairy or shiny smooth, was just as… slutty…?

Anyway—yeah. He’d rolled the dice, embraced his inner Hoff, rocked the furry chest all summer.

CH:

If his parents were home, they sprawled out in the den and graciously accepted the parade of snacks ferried in by Steve’s mom, who was less invested in feeding them than catching them in the act. Catch him cheating, basically, and prove himself just as much a scoundrel as his father. Which is why they didn’t retreat downstairs to the rec room when she was around—his mother simply refused to believe they had only ever been and would only ever be friends, and any behavior to fuel her suspicions was generally avoided.

He'd come close to biting her head off when she heard Nancy had dumped him and her first response had been to sigh all knowingly, because he couldn’t expect Nancy to put up with it forever—sharing his attention with another girl.

Almost snapped, but he’d stormed out instead, and it was only later that night, tossing and turning in bed, that her words returned to him and he had to laugh. Because Nancy had been sharing his attention—just not with Robin. Not the way she meant, anyway.

.

Thanks for the tag! No pressure tags for others, using the word... SLEEP:

Julius getting to know the girl who turns out to be his dauther

On the edge of the battlefield, tension crackles in the air. The knights of the Clover Kingdom stand ready, and the ground vibrates with the anticipation of battle. King Alaric of Drakonheim stands at the forefront, his armor gleaming in the light, his expression stern as he turns to Nyxara. She stands tall, arms crossed, her dragon riders lined up behind her, their dragons restless, ready to fight.

“General Rhys,” King Alaric commands, his voice sharp. “I’m ordering you to fly with your dragon and riders. Lead the attack now.”

Nyxara, still gazing over the battlefield, remains silent, clearly uninterested in his tone. She doesn’t even bother looking at him, her fingers tapping idly on her armor as if the king's words were a passing breeze.

Alaric’s patience frays. “Nyxara! I’m giving you an order! You’re the General of the Dragonriders. Get your dragon and lead the riders into battle now!”

Nyxara finally turns her head slightly, a hint of mischief in her eyes, and mutters, “I think I hear a farting sound.” Her lips curl into a smirk as sniffs. "It even smells bad over here!"

Alaric’s face flushes with anger. He whirls toward his wife, who is standing next to him. “Ginevra, please—make your dauther listen! Get her to do her job! We need the dragonridersin the air!”

Ginny, maintaining her calm demeanor, glances at Nyxara with a knowing look. Without missing a beat, Nyxara grins and shouts enthusiastically, “Okay, Mom!” She raises her hand, and with a sharp whistle, her dragon roars to life. The massive beast spreads its wings, and her dragon riders prepare to launch into the sky.

As the scene unfolds, Wizard King Julius watches , standing beside Ginny with a puzzled expression. He leans closer, lowering his voice, “Why is General Rhys completely ignoring her father?”

Before Ginny can respond, King Alaric, still fuming, mutters darkly, “She’s not my daughter… she’s just a bastard child.”

Julius frowns, still perplexed as Nyxara leaps onto her dragon with ease, leading her riders into the air, their wings casting shadows over the battlefield. “I… don’t understand what’s happening here,” Julius whispers to himself, watching Nyxara’s form disappear into the sky, completely unaware that the fiery general is, in fact, his own daughter.

101 quick prompts: Kiss for Luck

:3 What's got two thumbs and finally found the motivation to answer my asks for the beautiful sexy folks in my ask box?

They were in the middle of saying goodbye- for the second time that day- when Osha was struck with the urge to kiss this handsome, brave, possibly-slightly-mad knight. This in itself wasn't unusual, as she was often struck with spontaneous fancies.

Not necessarily of the romantic inclination, in any case. Not in the past months since her abrupt career change from chocobo jockey to adventurer. Not since she was so abruptly dumped by her last beau.

"Well, hello again!" Osha greeted brightly from her seat on the back of her loyal, but restless, chocobo, Wing-Ding.

She had been heading out to the next leg of her journey when she spotted Lord Haurchefant from across the fort's yard. He had smiled widely at the sight of her and jogged over, and looked full of intention to send her off with yet another fond farewell. The thought that he would be so inclined sent the butterflies in her gut aflutter for the umpteenth time this visit.

"Fancy seeing you here!" Haurchefant greeted once he was close enough. He stood close enough to place a hand on Wing-Ding's neck for some gentle scratches, which did not go unappreciated, and went on with barely veiled disappointment in his pretty blue eyes, "I suppose you'll be making your way to Whitebrim then?"

"Aye, I've already sent Alphy and Cid on ahead. And I would already be on my way, but someone needed to be bribed with treats before she let me put her barding on." Osha said this with false annoyance, patting her mount affectionately. She didn't particularly mind the delay. Had it been up to her, and there weren't currently realm-threatening matters that she needed to attend, she would have happily lingered at Camp Dragonhead.

Coerthas had started to grow on her in the short time she had been there.

Wing-Ding gave a small kweh of indignation, and a small shake of her feathered head, as if to complain about being coerced into roaming the frozen wastelands, and how nice it would be to a more temperate location. Like La Noscea, perhaps, with its many farms growing all sorts of tasty treats, and general lack of ice and snow.

"And I do not blame her one bit!" Harchefant cooed, speaking more to Wing-Ding as he reached out to give the chocobo more thorough scratches up her neck. "If I had to choose between running around in this weather or cozying up in a nice, warm stable, I know exactly where I would like to be!"

Wing-Ding gave a throaty wark in agreement, her head tilting back to enjoy the attention and the fact that someone was talking sensibly. If the chocobo had it her way, she would still be snuggled up in a loaned pen, her rider tucked under her wing, as they often were when they were afield.

But Wing-Ding settled for this delay they were granted, and the affection from the practiced hands from the nice knight her rider had gotten so attached to.

Osha couldn't very well argue, she was far too distracted being enamored with Haurchefant. She had always been a sucker for those who were especially kind to animals, and adored how her chocobo seemed to enjoy the knight's attention as much as she had. How Wing-Ding eventually bowed her head to Haurchefant's eye level, clearly enjoying when he moved to gently rub at her thick sharpened beak, all while the knight cooed about what a lovely, pretty bird she was. Osha adored seeing her chocobo, who she knew to be capable of great violence and bravery in battle, treated so softly. Especially as the bird was often suspicious of anyone but her closest allies.

"You know, Wing-Ding doesn't generally like most folks, but you seem to have won her over in just a few days." Osha said on the back of a chuckle, "If anyone else tried to do that she'd likely take a finger as a warning."

'That' in this case being Haurchefant's fingers loosely clasped in Wing-Dings beak, the chocobo nibbling at the leather of his gloves in a way that could be called 'curious' and 'playful'. He looked back up to Osha, shining a bright smile at her, "Well, then I'm honored to be in her good graces." The knight then leaned in towards her to ask, quietly, "Has she really taken fingers?"

"Well, no," Osha had to hold back her laughter, then leaned closer to whisper as if sharing a secret, "but she does get awfully nibbly."

They shared a chuckle, while Wing-Ding seemed none the wiser to the slander on her good name.

"I suppose I shouldn't keep you further." Haurchefant started, after the moment had a chance to linger. "I fear I've already delayed you long enough."

"Aye, Cid's ship isn't likely to find itself."

Neither of them moved to immediately leave.

It struck Osha suddenly that it was entirely possible that she might never see him again. That her adventures might not take her back to Coerthas. Or, worse, that she would die sometime soon fighting to protect the realm.

Not that she had been doing a very good job of that the last week.

So, obviously, Osha was not going to let an opportunity go to waste.

Perhaps, she mused, it would be just the sort of thing to help turn her luck around.

"Before I go, I wonder if I might ask one more favor?" She started, not allowing the man time to properly respond, but felt encouraged with Haurchefant perked up to full attention. "I'm aware you Ishgardians are a bit... Conservative." Osha tried her best to avoid sounded awkward, or worse, judgemental, "With public displays of affection. But I was hoping I might have a kiss? For luck?"

Harchefant's eyes lit up at the request, his cheeks and ears flushed pink and the knight himself stammered over his response before finding his feet, "I- Oh, of course! Nothing would make me happier than to send you off with such affections! If there were more time, I would shower you with kisses!"

Osha found herself grinning. The knight was terribly endearing, tripping over himself before resuming the flirtatious nature of things that had been established in the days prior. The way he looked at her now, full of affection and a beaming smile, made her stomach flip.

It was an easy feat to maintain her balance and lean far enough to kiss him. The kiss itself was a far too brief press of warm lips, where Osha had a hand leaned against his shoulder, and Haurchefant had a hand cupped her face, worn leather against her windbuffed cheek.

They managed to part without toppling her off her bird. A feat that even impressed Osha with herself, for how she felt she could swoon.

The pair said their goodbyes properly this time. Haurchefant gave an all too flourishing blow that drew a girlish laugh from Osha, and then she was off. Her heart felt lighter than it had in days, and she felt ready to face the challenges that lay ahead.

She didn't realize she was going in the wrong direction for nearly a malm.

More OC's from a Ever After High Next Gen that have been essentially thrown into an alternate universe linked here by @dani-luminae that is on her EAH OC, Reign, where Apple has essentially gone villain mode but people are only finding that out years later when the next generation starts their Legacy Year at Ever After High.

And similar to Angelica and Lizzie, Gabrielle and Ebony Charming have redesigns due to changes to them in the alternate universe...the major one being: they and their younger brother not designed aren't the children of Apple and Darling here, but instead simply Darling (and maybe another mom in Apple's place, she has to be figured out lmao).

From left to right:

The oldest of Darling's children, Gabrielle Charming is almost everything expected of a princess in the Charming family, always acting perfectly lady-like and always ready to take up the role as leader if needed...but much to the displeasure of some members of her family, she is exactly like her mother when it comes to not wanting to be a future damsel, instead training hard to be a knight while leading the current Ever After High dragon riders team.

Falling into the awkward spot known as the middle child when it comes to Darling's children, Ebony Charming just like her older sister, does not want to be a future damsel but unlike her older sister, she is still figuring herself out and what she wants to do, which in turn leads to her trying varying things- the latest thing she's trying? villain classes.

TWOIAF/Fire & Blood: Maegor As A Fighter

Warning, Spoilers Ahead…

We left off with Aenys road to marriage and fatherhood with an emphasis on the childhood of Rhaena Targaryen. Visenya had proposed Rhaena be betrothed to a then eleven-year-old Maegor but was refused by Aenys and Aegon the Conqueror. Maegor was later wed to Ceryse Hightower but the marriage remained childless.

Maegor was phenomenal as a fighter.

A recap of his accomplishments:

Began training at three years old.

Visenya gave Maegor her Valyrian sword, Dark Sister, when he was thirteen years old.

Unhorsed three knights of the KIngsguard in the great tournament at Riverrun, also won the melee. He was sixteen years old.

Knighted at the Riverrun tourney by his father, Aegon the Conqueror.

Upon his knighting, became the youngest knight in the Seven Kingdoms.

Joined two expeditions against Sargoso Saan, a Lysene pirate in the Stepstones.

Led a company that hunted down and killed an outlaw called the Giant of the Trident.

Maegor was not yet a dragon rider. He had no interest in any of the hatchlings at Dragonstone. After being teased upon remaining dragonless even though twelve year old Rhanea was flying Dreamfyre, Maegor responded that only one dragon was worthy of him. We can all guess which dragon he was referring to.

Not much to note in this section – it establishes Maegor as a fierce fighter and the workhorse of the next generation of the Targaryens by dealing with threats in the Stepstones and the Trident while Aenys made heirs and maybe a few progresses?

The interesting part of the Stepstones expeditions are Maegor’s named companions: Osmund Strong and Aethan Velaryon. Osmund Strong was the Hand of the King and Aethan Velaryon was the Master of Ships so these had to be royally-decreed expeditions to the Stepstones and not the “I’m bored and sulky so I’m off to kill pirates” nature of Daemon’s journey to the Stepstones.

Up next, the death and funeral of Aegon the Conqueror.

Just worked out the design for my next character in my Ace Attorney x Kamen Rider AU—Kristoph Gavin!

His suit was inspired by cone snails and paladin/knight armor, and his cone shell-shaped helm folds down like an actual knight's helmet!

Other notes + WIP sketches under cut; contains spoilers for Ace Attorney 4.

I emphasized the dark blue to contrast with the bright yellow/gold colors, since yellow is the color most commonly associated with betrayal.

I chose to base the suit off of the cone snail since they are one of the most venomous creatures on Earth, which connects his design to Klavier's, which is a scorpion.

The poison aspect also ties into the way he plotted the death of the Mishams in AA4-4.

The Void Driver is made to resemble the Sunrise Driver and Proto-Sunrise Driver that Apollo and Phoenix have, but it's an imitation; when spun counter-clockwise (as opposed to clockwise with the Sunrise Driver), the sides of the 'badge' split open, activating the transformation. Think of it like the Thousand Driver from Zero-One.

The padlock design on the chest, of course, is based on the black Psyche-Lock Kristoph has in the AA4-4 investigation segment with Phoenix.

The suit design in general has some inspiration from Zero-One's Kamen Rider Horobi's suit, particularly the straps.

PICK A CARD General Weekly Reading (Jun 19-25) Disclaimer: Only take what resonates and leave the rest behind. I am only posting this reading on profiles I’ve listed on my Linktree (linktr.ee/carinasibila) – all other profiles that might post it are fake. Decks used in this reading: Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot Blue Bird Lenormand* Enchanted Spell Oracle** 🔗 Linktree 🔗 https://linktr.ee/carinasibila ☕ Donations ☕ https://ko-fi.com/carinasibila PILE 1 IV of Wands, Book*, Integrity** Back of the deck: The Fool At the moment, you may be thinking about taking a risk with regards to a specific venture. If this resonates, the cards urge you to be brutally honest with yourself this week: is your goal grounded in reality, i.e. is there truly a chance for success? Your plan will only work out if you can honestly affirm that this is the case; if not, you should go back to the drawing board. If this scenario doesn’t resonate, you may be feeling energetic this week and would like to spend a fun time with people who are close to you. Be careful, though, as the cards hint at the possibility of hidden emotional pitfalls: be especially mindful when planning and make sure that everyone agrees with your ideas so that nobody feels overlooked. PILE 2 VI of Wands, Rider*, Abundance** Back of the deck: IV of Swords This week, you may be hoping to get some time for rest and relaxation but fear that you may not be able to achieve a certain goal if you allow yourself to deviate from your schedule; the cards imply, though, that you should definitely take a breather and rejuvenate your energy levels, as this will make it much more likely for your efforts to bear fruits. Alternatively, you may have achieved a goal recently and already feel like tackling the next big project because of this achievement. In this case, the cards advise you to take it slow this week: keep in mind that, by plunging right into the next project, you will run the risk of overworking and harming yourself in the process.

PILE 3 Knight of Swords, Fish*, Ritual** Back of the deck: The Empress This week, you may encounter a good opportunity to prove yourself in a certain area of your life. If this resonates, the cards strongly recommend for you to take this opportunity; you may be hesitating to do so due to past negative experiences, however, overcoming those inhibitions will likely lead to a favorable outcome for you this time. If this doesn’t resonate, you may have been wanting to treat yourself for a while now, but were under the impression that you haven’t deserved it recently. The cards tell you that you shouldn’t listen to those negative voices inside your head this week: instead, put all your focus into spoiling yourself and feeling good about it – ignore everything else.
