Little Bitty Pretty One

Yip notes: in my best Italian accent Don't say I neva did anything for ya. You are in debt to me.

Pairing: Bi-Han x Gn reader

Warnings ‼️: Haha you still small!

It seems when you need Liu Kang the most he is not there to answer. He could at least leave a message.

Well, you’re still small, unfortunately. Or maybe you like this situation. You’ve been stuck this way for two days now. Just as Bi-Han thought, you are incapable of doing many things. You’ve been depending on him for everything. You truly had no choice but to obey your grandmaster. Cause when you are the size of a Norway rat but lack the abilities of one your survivability is at a low possibility. So do him a favor and act good.

══💤══╡°˖✧🦊✧˖°╞══💤══

Bi-Han tries his best not to wake you up in the morning. He’s been keeping you in his room so he can keep an eye on you and prevent you from getting hurt. He has to tiptoe around or else he will wake you up. Little does he know you’ve been waking up when he does because he always groans when he wakes up. What a loudmouth. You stir in your makeshift bed made of soft cloth material and a sponge before pretending to still be asleep. He doesn’t know that you like to peek at him when he is getting ready for the day. He doesn’t sleep with a shirt on…need I say more? It’s enjoyable to watch him tie his hair into a bun, he looks so pretty. But you can’t watch him change fully he puts a bowl over you to prevent you from seeing. No worries there are holes at the top to allow you to breathe. Alright, now he will wake you up.

He pokes your back viciously but not enough to possibly break your spine. You smack his finger which does nothing, go figures. Then he scolds you lightly for hitting your grandmaster. Again, he can’t yell or else he will risk bursting your eardrums.

Breakfast time! What do you want? Trick question, you have no choice. Whatever Bi-Han gives you is what you get. He purposely leaves some of the food big to make it seem like you are a rat nibbling on it. As he eats his breakfast he’ll occasionally look to his side to see you nibbling on a slice of carrot, your teeth leaving little marks. Now you’re whining, saying you need much more than that.

“You are acting very greedy. Have I not done enough for you already?” Bi-Han asked but you know he is being petty. When is he not.

Fine, he gave you a proper meal. Though the slice of cucumber he provided was still too big for you so you had to munch on it for a bit. He found it entertaining to see you stuff my cheeks full of food like a hamster. You did look silly that way. Especially with that glare you gave him.

Time for practice! Not for you, you’re too tiny for that. You’re gonna be staying in the palm of Bi-Han’s hand where he will proceed to pet your back with his finger. He starts from the top of your head before sliding down to your lower back. For some reason, you immediately relax when he does that. You fight a little because you know he likes finding people’s weak spots and exploiting them. But you stood little chance since even when you were big you still couldn’t fight him off. So you are forced to partake in this wonderful torment where he slowly watches you melt in his hands.

Bi-Han was so distracted by tormenting you he forgot to give orders to the rest of his clan. They waited with confused expressions. Kuai Liang had to tap on his brother to get his attention, only to be glared at by him as he quickly cupped you in his hands. He thought someone was trying to snatch you away from him. He can’t have that happening.

“What do you want, Kuai Liang?” he asked in annoyance.

Kuai Liang craned his neck in the direction of the clan to show that they were waiting. Bi-Han groaned as usual and gave them an order. Something mundane because he couldn’t care less in that moment. He was more preoccupied with you which you were trying to squeeze out of his hands again because you didn’t appreciate him leaving you in darkness.

Your little hands were trying to scratch their way between his fingers before he realized what you were doing. He uncapped his hands and you looked up at him like he just committed the ultimate betrayal.

“Don’t give me that face.”

He had you sit on his hand while looking out to the clan so you could watch them. His pointer finger and thumb were constantly squishing your face or rubbing below your chin. At this point anything he is doing to you is subconscious. He doesn’t know that he is doing it but it feels right to do, like twirling a pen while writing. It is necessary to squish something so small and fragile. You’re not having it. You’re out of here! Plan your escape!

You started walking on his arm, occasionally having to grab onto his arm guards to prevent yourself from plummeting to the ground. He sees your efforts and he does not like it. He tried to grab you but you kept swerving out of the way. Soon enough you were at his clothes and used them as a way to get down. You heard him saying words such as ‘stop’, ‘no’, and the occasional ‘obey your grandmaster’. You’re your own person, you can handle yourself! You can survive without your grandmaster’s assistance.

Never mind there was a giant golden orb weaver on the ground. It’s a female unfortunately so it’s humongous. You are not ready to handle that.

Bi-Han!!!

He froze the weaver in a matter of seconds before shattering it into millions of pieces. You were hugging his boot with your eyes closed, wondering if he demolished the arachnid. He picked you up by your uniform and you screamed thinking it was the spider before realizing it was Bi-Han.

“Will you listen to me now?” he asked with his usual grumpy tone.

“Yes, grandmaster.” You replied with your head lowered.

You obeyed him for the rest of the time, thank the elder gods. I would say that it made everything easier but you were still left being poked, petted, and squished by Bi-Han. At least when dinner time rolled around you were able to breathe. You got to munch on a nice, fat dumpling. Took a while before you got to the filling but it was so worth it when you did. That dinner could have knocked you out immediately after. You almost did but you were startled when Bi-Han picked you up and brought you to his office.

Escape plan part two!

Forget it, he already knew what you were planning. You tried to run around on his deck but he quickly pulled you back before placing you at one end of a hand towel. In one fell swoop he rolled you up like sushi. There, now you will stay in one place.

“Hey! You can’t do this! I’m a human being!” You yelled in a shrilled voice.

“A human being who drank a potion when I told you not to.” He got you there.

You could be angry all you want but you did get yourself into this mess. So just lay there and take your medicine.

You were forced to lay there silently as Bi-Han worked for about half an hour before the door opened. Finally, Liu Kang is here to help you. But for some reason, Bi-Han didn’t seem to be thrilled about this.

“I have been informed that there was a little incident,” Pun intended, “Let me assist in making things righ—oh.”

Liu Kang saw you wrapped in the hand towel with your eyebrows furrowed in anger. He gave a questioning look towards Bi-Han but at the same time, he could understand if your grandmaster had a hard time keeping you under control. Liu Kang had to hold himself back from chuckling as he reached towards you. He was going to unravel you to help get you back to normal but Bi-Han snatched you away. It nearly gave you whiplash.

“Bi-Han, I need them to get them back to normal.” Liu Kang informed him but Bi-Han walked out of the room with you in hand.

You were shouting at him and asking what he was doing and saying that this was what he wanted. You may think this whole situation was a hassle for Bi-Han. You would be slightly wrong. He finds this situation very entertaining and even, though he would never admit, adorable. It’s like having his own personal pet. A pet that has to depend on him because they don’t have any animal-like skills.

He will have you return back to normal one of these days. But this day won’t be it. Liu Kang was trying to get an answer from him but he wouldn’t say a word. He walked right into his bedroom, made a wall of ice to prevent anyone from getting in, and sat right on his bed.

He unraveled you before carefully placing you in your makeshift bed. He didn’t want you asking any more questions so he started to pet your back again. It’s too easy. With the food in your belly, the tight wrap from the towel, and the feeling of Bi-Han petting and rubbing your back you were out like a light. You were even drooling a little.

Bi-Han hasn’t felt this much joy from something in a long, long time. He wasn’t even allowed to have a pet when he was young. So let him enjoy this for a little longer then he will bring you back to normal.

But when you are back to normal you better not drink another strange potion he swears to the elder gods!

Now he can get ready for bed. He needs to mentally prepare himself for the next day. Who knows what you could do then.

Are you peeking at him taking his shirt off again? Turn your head! Damn rodent…

Yap notes: Last time I wrote for you that spine-eating goofball payed me a visit. He better not come around again just cause I did this for you. Also I hope you are feeling better I saw that you said you were sick get some Vic’s vaporub, ginger ale, and an egg to cleanse yourself. Adiós!

hesitation is not common. a hand is slightly lifted but quickly frozen in space, heart twisting with agitation by his former nemesis’ visible pain. ( a mistake. ) grandmaster hasashi does not seek help— a fitting behavior even after their alliance and mutual respect. it is a matter of pride, a notion that was revered since his youth, strictly ingrained in both his spirit and heart; and sub-zero fathoms the very same truth could apply to his equal. they have long stopped in trying to draw each other’s blood— but perhaps they still yearn for other battles. a rivalry does not extinguish so easily.

kuai liang is still deeply rooted in his reservations, eyes forged by winter scrutinizing hanzo’s suffering form— cold, but not without a soothing grace.   ❛   what of the shirai ryu?   ❜   sub-zero always speaks of duty. ( he knows nothing else. )   ❛   do not burden your clan with your downfall. they still require the guidance of their grandmaster.   ❜     / @shirairyuu​. ( continued from here! )

“example” — Hanzo speaking

you were waiting at the side walk on your way to the grocery store from your doctors appointment, and as the light turned green you started to walk across, then that’s when your day went bad…. a car hit you from the side — it looked as if it was speeding which it was. the car stopped for a few seconds then sped off a hit and run. almost everyone who was around you at that time ran over to check if you were okay and when you didn’t respond 911 was called immediately.

after a few hours you woke up in a hospital bed and when you tried to move your arm you cried out in pain which alerted the man sitting next to you

“hey! hey hey, no! do not move — you are in the hospital my dear” hanzo spoke as he rushed to place your arm back down but very gently. you whined in pain as you looked over at him

“what …. happened….?” you asked as he sat down and gently petted your head. he was normally always gentle with you but now he was so gentle he never thought it was possible

“the doctors and a few others told me a car had hit you while you were walking…. the doctor told me you were passed out when they got there so they took you to the hospital immediately. they also said you have a broken arm, three broken ribs and a concussion. but you should be able to go home when you’re able to move around a bit” he spoke, his voice was so soft. you took in all this information

“and the person who hit me…? where are they?”

“a kind gentleman told me that the person drove off almost immediately….” his soft voice turned into anger now, he was making a fist with his free hand “when i find them…. they will pay for hurting my wife”

“hanzo….”

“my apologies, Watashi no hikari… but he will not get away with hurting you. please forgive me”

you had no energy to argue with him right now, so you just nodded and fell back to sleep. hanzo never left your side and when it was time for you to go home he was there by your side all hours of the day. he was so paranoid that the medication that was given to you didn’t work somehow and that you’d feel all the pain of your broken bones, even tho you say that you’re fine. whenever he had to leave he always makes sure someone is at the house with you and taking care of you until you are 100% again

𝙺𝚞𝚊𝚒 𝙻.

“example” — Kuai speaking

you and Kuai were having a nice day, this was one of his days off so he decided to go into the city with you. he never likes going into the city mainly because it was crowded and he isn’t that big of a fan of crowded spaces. throughout the day was you and him trying different sweet treats at the mall and then you had lunch at a small restaurant a very nice old man and his daughter owned. the food was amazing and now it was time to do another activity.

kuai had told you to start walking ahead as he paid and that he would catch up to you. as you started to walk across the side walk to the other side of the road a drunk driver had hit you, pretty hard too. you went unconscious almost immediately and was sent flying to the other side of the street. the driver tried to drive away but a crowd of people stopped him and started hitting his car.

kuai heard the noise of people yelling and stuff and he looked out the window to see what was happening. he saw a crowd of people at a car and another crowd in the middle of the intersection, someone had moved out the way a bit and he was able to see you laying on the floor and bleeding. he panicked and quickly ran out the restaurant to run towards you

he pushed a few people out the way to see what was going on and when he saw you laying there in the middle, bleeding and unconscious he panicked thinking you were dead. after a few hours you woke up in the hospital bed and you looked around to see what was around you, then you saw Kuai pacing back and forth, he seemed to have not noticed you woke up yet so you announced it

“kuai….?” you spoke, your voice seemingly brought him back to earth and he quickly rushed towards you

“huā! oh thank god you’re okay! i was worried” he sat down in the chair next to you and he gently placed his hand on your head and gently rubbed your forehead

“i have… no idea what happened….”

“some drunk idiot hit you — some people said you went unconscious immediately because of how hard he hit you. you have a broken leg, arm, a few broken ribs and a concussion”

he watched as you nodded and took in this information. after a few seconds he watched you fall back to sleep and he stood up to gently place a kiss on your forehead. he’ll wait until you’re able to go back home to take care of the drunk man.

about a week later you were able to go home with Kuai. he was around you almost all the time until you were fully healed or unless he was gone taking care of his work. he treated you like glass that was easily breakable with the slightest touch. once your leg has healed up he knew you were able to walk around more so he excused himself to take care of the drunk man who hit you — let’s not talk about that tho 😁

“example” — bi han speaking

“example” — shadow speaking

you were out buying stuff for the house while Bi Han was sitting at home waiting for you to get home. he was worried about you leaving into the city all by yourself, but you said you would be okay by yourself. he started pacing back and forth thinking you were supposed to be back by now

“maybe we can go stalk her? follow her around to make sure she is okay?” bi hans shadow suggested from the couch

“shut up — she would kill us again.. she said she can handle herself so i trust her” he wanted to go follow you more than anything to be honest…. he wanted to make sure you were safe

“she is our wife though…. we have to protect her” after shadow said that Bi han immediately ran out the door to go find you. you were walking down the sidewalk so calmly like you were trying to figure out what store to go to.

bi han was peeping from around a corner. as you were crossing the street a car hit you from the side and the car immediately stopped causing the tires to screech. it’s almost like the world was in slow motion when you got hit, he rushed over to you and saw that you were still awake just had a broken arm and few scrapes from rolling on the floor a bit. he checked on you and then went to go give the person who hit you a ear full. the only thing that stopped him from getting violent was you begging him not to

“honey please! i wasnt looking when i was crossing the sidewalk — it’s more my fault than theirs!” you said as you stood up and dusted yourself off with your good arm. you had a pretty good pain tolerance, you’ve broken a lot of bones as a kid from being stupid or something so you barely even reacted to your arm being broken this time. you grabbed Bi han and had a chat with the person. you actually weren’t mad and said that they didn’t have to worry about anything. after your conversation you and Bi han walked to the nearby hospital

“we should have killed them!” shadow said as he walked beside you, staring at your injuries

“and if you did i would have killed you both. like i said, it was more my fault than theirs”

“but still! they hurt you!”

“let it go, they were obviously apologetic so shut it” you opened the door to the hospital and went to go tell the doctors what happened and that your arm is broken. the saw you immediately and took you back to clean out your injuries and take care of your arm. after about an hour or two you were able to go with Bi han

“we are not letting you leave the house again” he said making it sound like a joke but he really meant it…

𝙺𝚊𝚋𝚊𝚕

“example” — kabal speaking

you and kabal were walking home together and he saw a weapons shop with a window display that was showing knives. he has a knife collection at home and he saw a knife he’s been looking at for so long

“hey baby — i’m gonna go try and get this knife you go find a restaurant for us to eat at” he said, he recently did a job where he got a lot of money so he was treating the both of you that day, you nodded and he went into the shop to talk to the owner about the knife. you went to walk to the restaurant you’ve wanted to go to for so long. you started to walk across the side walk with a happy face

after a few seconds of walking a car hit you from the side, you rolled a bit and the car hit a tree across the street, then followed two cop cars, one stopped beside you and the other went to the person who hit you. the guy was arrested and two of the cops came to take care of you, you were hit so hard that you went unconscious almost immediately,

kabal came out and saw the scene, when he saw you on the floor unresponsive he panicked and ran towards you, asking the cop what happened. one of the cops tried to calm him down as the paramedics came, put you on the stretcher and tried to give you medical attention

“sir, we can’t have any civilians in the truck, we will try everything we can to save her” a cop told him

“s…. ‘save her’ is she dead?! the fuck do you mean save her?!”

“she is unresponsive, from what i could tell her heart beat was very slow. there are chances she might not survive, there are chances she will. we have to leave that to the doctors. you can follow us in your car or we can give you a ride there”

kabal just ran to the car and started it, he was so scared he was going to lose you, he felt his heart beating so fast and hard it felt like it was going 500 miles per hour. he followed the ambulance truck and was panicking the entire way there

about a few hours passed and kabal was waiting in the waiting room, pacing back and forth waiting for a doctor to come and tell him that you were okay. a nurse finally did come out

“okay… so, she’s okay. she’s responsive, she’s breathing and we were able to save her. she’s is going in and out a little bit because of the medication we had to give her but she’s okay. her heart did stop for about two or three minutes in the truck but we were able to bring her back” the nurse said, kabal let out a sigh of relief and sat down “you can go and see her in room 90, just beware she will fall asleep and wake up in the middle of a conversation for about a few hours”

he made his way to your room and he saw you tiredly wave to him with one hand before it plopped back down to the bed

“h-helloooooo…..~” you were so out of it kabal had to hold back his chuckle as he went to go sit beside your bed and gently rubbed your un-injured hand “i…. am soooooo….. fuckin high….” you said before giggling a bit before your head went back on your pillow

“yeah? i’m gonna have to ask the doctors to give me what you’re having” he joked just to make the situation a little better

“he…hehehe….haaahaaa *inhale* ooo…. ah….” and with that you fell asleep. he chuckled and he stayed with you until you woke back up again. every conversation you had each time you woke up was about something completely different each time. one conversation was about rainbows, the other was about a random bird you saw out the window, another one was about taxes.

kabal REALLY wants what the doctors gave you now

Dead Au

(In this au Aishwarya died in a war when she was 8 years old .So she never came to hogwarts to learn magic.However Arjun took her place and attend since first year and try to find Keith Jacob .It took a while for him to make friends and share his secret but now it is all good.But there was another secret he did not let anyone know, was that he lost a baby sister. He could have revive her dead soul but it was already gone, she returns as a guardian angel. She can be seen and felt by humans but she remians invisble to everyone but ghosts and one person Su ling @wangxianforever000 after a few years she can control her invisbillty. But still does’nt know how to greet her brother after those years.)

(also there will be other mcs in the story, I hope u dont mind borrowing them)

This is a story on how Arjun found his angel sister and how everyone meet her

“Arrgghh, I am bored.” said Aishwarya pouting as she flutter her wings. Arjun was studying with Finn @theguythatdraws and Angelo @angellazull. She got quite bored for they were really quite.

“Let me do something fun...Mr peeves told me to do this if i am ever bored” She thought as she quietly grabbed a book and tose it . It hits Angelo’s head. “Oops i meant to hit baiya(older brother also Arjun nickname) not him.” She said before she flies out of the room.

“Damn that hurts..PEVEES!!!WAS THAT U?”Angelo yelled.

“SHHHH!!!” Madam Pince said

“Sorry madam pince.”Angelo said

“Dude u that was a thick book...U ok ?” Arjun asked placing his work down.Arjun is wearing a snowflake pendent, the last item belong to his sister.But his friends thought it was a just a regular jewellery.

“Yeah i am fine” He said rubbing his head. “Anyway i think i am done for the day”

“Yeah me too” Finn said.”See u guys after Lunch”

Arjun walks down the corridor and towards the field.It started raining , he looks up and close his eyes as he felt the water fall down his face.

“Chotie , i hope ur enjoying the rain just as I am.” He said 

“I am brother....I am” Aishwarya said flying close to him “I am gonna be able to be visibile in a few hrs...wait for me brother.U will soon see , hear , feel and talk to me”

“ARJUN! U SNAKE BOI WHAT ARE U DOING IN THE RAIN!!” Tu yelled as she ran to him and brought him back inside.

”Homeboy why were u in the rain?”Sen asked as sakura hands tu a towel as she dried Arjun’s hair.

“Sorry the rain just reminded me of some fond memories.”

“Well u could have gotten sick!”Tu said to him.

“Sorry dear..i will be careful next time”He said.He sees su ling looking in another direction  “Su ling is there something the matter?”

“ Oh it is nothing. I just think i saw a bird.” he said. “WHO UR CALLING A BIRD, SU LING!!!” Aishwarya said to him but su ling pretends to ignore her “also the rain stopped.”

“Oh yeah , it did stop.” Arjun said looking at the clear sky. “Come on guys lets go for lunch , we have to meet the others too.”

“I will come in a minute lady Liang”

“Ok su ling” . the rest of the group left.

“HHPPFF! WHY U CALLED ME A BIRD SU LING?!”Aishwarya huffed

“Sorry Aishwarya....I see that U are still following him but never say why?”Su ling asked. When he arrived at year 3 , he can see aishwarya dispite that she is invisible. Aishwarya was happy to have someone to talk to except the ghost.But she asked him to keep a secret of her being around which he agreed yet not knowing the reason why.

“U will know one day su ling ....u will know.Go and eat lunch . I will see u later!” She said as she flies away and move through walls.

“hmm” he said before walking into the great hall.

“GREY LADY!GREY LADY! TODAY IS THE DAY!” Aishwarya cheered as she finds the grey lady and sir nick “oh is it today?” sir nick asked.

“YES SIR NICK!PLS TEACH ME GREY LADY!”Aishwarya asked as she flutter her wings happily like a baby bird.

“ok..ok dear..this is how the spell works”the grey lady said. For sometime , the grey lady teaches the spell to make her visible and other things.

“THANK YOU GREY LADY!!!I AM GOING TO SHOW TO SU LING!”

“Ok dear!” the grey lady said as Aishwarya flies away.She looks all over the castle till she finds Su ling near a tree waiting for some people.

“SU LING ! SU LING! SU LING!” Aishwarya flew to him like a happy bird.

“Oh Aishwarya? what is it?”

“I learn the spell! i am gonna cast it now! but the growing up spell i will learn in two weeks” she said as she used her hands to create a tiny orb

“Aishwarya wai...” Su ling said , but it was too late a huge arua surronds Aishwarya and then vainshs “ DID IT WORK?DID IT ?”

“Thud!” a bad drop was heard and Aishwarya turns around. Arjun, the grandmaster team and other mcs is surprised and shocked with the appearence of the angel girl.

“We were��nt alone !” Su ling said “ Oops “ Aishwarya though

“That is an angel!!” Samantha @samshogwarts said. Eliaza @annabelle-tanaka-official nodded , Sen is surpised , Sakura shocked and Tu speechless at the angel child . “ Omg” Candy said @immagrosscandy “A child “ Paula said with her eyes sparkling. The boys, Angelo,Finn,Roger @hphm-roger are just shocked and the other mcs are either speechless or shocked.

Arjun has tears in his eyes as he walked towards Aishwarya slowly. “Chotie?” Arjun asked “ Is that u?”

“CHOTIE?” Everyone thought , “Does Arjun know the angel girl?”

“Yes big brother! It is me! I was watching over u this whole time. Today and now on u can see , hear  and..” she grab his hand “ and even hold my hand”

“BIG BROTHER?!?!?!”Everyone surpirsed

“I am sorry Chotie ! I should have saved u!!!”Arjun said breaking down to tears hugging her “ I am sorry Aishwarya! I am sorry!!”

Aishwarya lifted her head and wiped his tears “ It was never ur fault Arjun! I am here now once and always will be with u” “Oh chotie...”

“Arjun ?” Tu said breaking the slience  “ Who is she?”

He smiles as he stand up still holding Aishwarya. “ Everyone , This is my baby cousin sister Aishwarya. She died in a war back at home.She was a witch and could have attend with us right now”

“How old were u when u died and how old u will be now dear?” Caryen @carewyncromwell​ asked

“I died when I was 8 , killed by raksha.Right now i will be 16. U will see my 16 year old self soon as i learn the angel growth spell” Aishwarya said .

“ I am glad i can see u chotie” Arjun said as he kissed Aishwarya forehead making her flutter her wings “ Me too brother!”

DO REBLOG ON HOW UR MCS REACT AND MEET ANGEL AISHWARYA .PLS DO TELL

[silvcrlining]

( jessica henwick, cisfemale, she/her ) i took a trip into town and ran into JEMMA “JEM” LIANG at the general store. isn’t that the ICARIAN you told me about last week? the one who is THIRTY, as well as IMPULSIVE and STUBBORN? well, we didn’t chat for long because they had to get back to their job as a FISH SHOP EMPLOYEE/BARTENDER AT THE SALOON, so i can’t say for sure, but i think you might be onto something…they even mentioned they want to BE THE BEST ADVENTURER IN THE WORLD... OR AT LEAST IN STARDEW VALLEY like you said.

background check (to be edited, i am quite literally winging it)!

jemma was born into high expectations. her parents worked hard to get to where they are now-- both doctors -- and they expected the same from their children. jemma’s older sister, jade, was already excelling in school, with plans of going into law. and jemma? well... she liked running around the living room pretending to be indiana jones, or waving a plastic sword around like westley in princess bride. different strokes for different folks, right?

she wasn’t necessarily bad at academics. she had good enough grades, but horrible conduct. she couldn’t help it, though! she always struggled to focus in school, and her teachers were kind of mean, and school was just BORING. jemma wanted adventure! she wanted to do something more fun than just sit in a classroom for a few hours a day and read and write, and-- she’s falling asleep just thinking about it.

instead of college, she went straight to work, finding odd jobs here and there, trying to find a way to make her childhood adventuring dreams come true, much to her parents’ dismay. which is fine! ha! who cares if she was the family disappointment? not her! it doesn’t bother her at all, really! it wasn’t awkward at family reunions! ahem, anyway--

for most of her early twenties, she had a shabby little apartment in (insert city here) and would travel around often in her dingy car, visiting different places, meeting new people where she could, and just exploring what little she could of the world. through the many odd jobs she worked, there was one that she stayed in for a prolonged amount of time because it fucking ROCKED-- she worked at a medieval-themed dinner theater (literally just imagine the medieval times restaurants), and it was the best! she got to be a knight as a job and have pretend fights, and have the crowd cheer for her. sure, sometimes they made her play the princess, but still, she rocked those dresses, so it was worth it.

it’s in that job that one of her co-workers tells her about the adventurer’s guild in stardew valley-- i’m sorry, what? sign jemma the FUCK up! THIS is what she’s been waiting for! so she packs her bag, uses most of what little savings she has (and her sister begrudgingly lends her some money, thx sis :* ) to move into a little cottage at the beach, gets a job at the fishing shop and a night stint at the saloon, proves herself to the guild, and she is on her way to being the best adventurer this goddamn town has ever seen! watch out!

personality

she’s sometimes very in your face, but she just has a lot!! of energy!!

also very impulsive and careless. a new regular for ben to babysit.

also very stubborn? kinda short-tempered? but loyal, she will challenge someone to a duel for u >:( #friendgoals

idk i’ll figure more out as i go along lol

I just wanted to say I LOVE your Kuai Liang fic. I’ve reread it at least three times. I was just wondering if you were going to update it soon?? ABSOLUTELY NO PRESSURE THO IF NOT THATS TOTALLY FINE I just really need something to look forward to 💖💖💖

HI THERE!! OMG, thank you so much aldhalsdasgd ♥♥♥♥ yassss, that’s great to know!!! It always amazes me that people keep reading that fic so many times that I just... seriously, there are no words to express my gratitude and happiness. 

Sadly, I don’t think I’m gonna update very soon. I know I promised to do it ASAP and that I was trying to get other writing done but I haven’t been able to make a lot of progress in any of my stories, and that saddens me a little. I really want to make people happy because that’s my dream, that’s my goal whenever I write something, but I always tend to feel insecure and overthink my fics a lot for fear they will be terrible. And I know perfection does not exist, but I still procrastinate thinking that if I take the time to polish my work it will be better. As you can imagine, it brings a lot of trouble and messes up my updating schedule :l

But I definitely want to go back to it and finish it or give it some kind of closure c: I appreciate that people are so understanding and thank you so much for sending such kind words ♥♥♥ you’re great and I hope you have an awesome life ;u;

hello! what is happening in that "hope is not a plan" sequence? who's burning up, do u know?

I do know!

(Answer below, contains spoilers for this week’s Cap #700. My summary does not do it justice and it’s one of the best issues of Cap I have read in a while and you should really read it if you can.)

It’s Steve and he’s dead now.

But it’s more complicated than that.

Okay, so in the current arc of Cap, a few issues ago the bad guys got Steve and froze him in a block of ice, and then as it turned out at the same time as they did that, they also launched nuclear missiles and therefore Steve awakens in the burned-out dystopia… of 2025. And the guy responsible for freezing Steve is now king of the United States.

Naturally, this state of affairs doesn’t last very long with Steve around, and in a very short time he’s scrounged together a band of plucky freedom-fighters and toppled the tyrant. And then they make him president, which he hates, but, you know, he’s Steve, of course if his country needs him he’s gonna be there.

So Bruce Banner and Ben Grimm are still around, and Bruce salvaged the FF’s time machine somehow and made a time machine gun thing for Steve. We can send you back and you can stop this, Bruce tells him. And Steve tells him no. He says people need him here, and he can’t take the chance of failing, or splitting the timeline. He’s sworn an oath.

We see Steve settling in a little. He’s tilling fields, raising buildings, plotting battles, trying to do everything he possibly can to run his country. A year goes by like this.

And then New York is bombed.

And that’s when Steve knows he has to fix this. This is Steve and Liang, one of his fellow revolutionaries/nation-builders:

So Steve goes back in time. 

Bruce tells him he thinks he’ll land a week before he gets iced – but he’s wrong, and he gets to the past exactly as he is getting iced. He watches himself being hauled aboard the submarine that froze him, which is also the submarine with the nuclear missiles. Which are being launched in ten minutes.

So Steve does exactly what you’d think he’d do – he fights his way to the missile, and with seconds remaining before launch, he manages to get it to explode:

So, yeah, he’s dead now. (His dialogue, as you can see, is a callback to earlier in the issue.)

The submarine goes boom.

And the original-timeline Steve, the one who just got frozen in a block of ice, is floating in the water, and the ice melts and shatters around him, and he’s absolutely fine. Except, of course, he has no idea what he’s missed and what would have happened to him.

He writes a very sweet letter to Sharon at the end and hands it to the clerk at the post office… who is, of course, Liang.

Anyway, it’s a really great issue and I think it’s probably one of the best Cap issues Waid has ever written and Samnee’s art is great and I recommend it highly.
