part 2 | masterlist | requests

Love was something you always chased, yearning to feel what people experienced in the movies —the flowers, the kisses, the gifts, that meaningful connection that seems to exist only for a lucky few. 

So when you met Chan, it was as if everything blossomed like flowers in spring.

It had started with little things, when chan would mention how much he missed you he on tour

ynnieeee haiiiii

hi channie! 

hiiheyyy imithu smmsmsm

bfrjjd i do 2

ur back next week right?

yaya i am, we need to meet up once im back

movie night?

movie night. 

You clung to these exchanges, even as you realized they might mean more to you than they did to him.

☄. *. ⋆

there were the times when you both were together, physically close yet emotionally worlds apart. You would catch glimpses of his smile, and your heart would race, but he never noticed the way your gaze lingered a little too long. He would tell you stories from concerts, his voice animated and bright, while you hung onto every word, even the ones that hinted at someone else who made him smile that way.

"You know, you always manage to pull me out of a slump," Chan said with a yawn, his voice laced with gratitude.

"Well, I'm glad I can help. You could basically call me your muse," you replied with a light chuckle, the words teasing yet sincere.

"Yeah, you're definitely my muse," he agreed, a soft smile playing on his lips before he turned back to work. You watched him for a moment longer, feeling a warmth spread through you, knowing that he was your muse too.

As the days went by, your feelings only deepened, even as you tried to push them away.

You would lie awake at night, replaying every conversation, every laugh, every moment, searching for signs that maybe, just maybe, he felt the same.

But each time, you were met with the cold realization that his affection was platonic, kind, and distant, while yours was anything but.

“Chan, have you ever fallen in love?”

“Um, once, but it was a while back. Why?”

“No reason. I’v just always wondered what it feels like to be in that state of mind.”

“Well, it feels like…” He hesitated, searching for the right words. ��It feels like everything else fades away, and all that matters is that person. Like you’re finally complete, you know?”

“Must be nice,” you said, your voice barely above a whisper.

“Yeah, it is,” he replied softly.

“So… no one on your mind right now?”

“Nope. You?”

You stared at him for a moment, heart pounding as you fought the urge to tell him the truth.

“Um, no… but maybe one day,” you said, forcing a smile.

☄. *. ⋆

As the months passed by, you found yourself lost in thoughts of him—his smile, his kindness, and all the love he had to give. The ache of missing him became a constant companion, a reminder of the feelings you harbored in silence.

With lunch in hand and a hopeful heart, you made your way to his studio. The anticipation of seeing him again sparked a mix of excitement and anxiety. You approached the studio’s entrance, eager to surprise him, when you nearly bumped into Felix, who was just leaving. “Hey, Lix! I haven’t seen you in forever!” you greeted, trying to mask your anxiety with a bright smile. “Hi, Yn! What are you doing here?” he asked, his curiosity piqued. “Oh, I’m just dropping off lunch for Chan. I haven’t seen him in so long and thought, why not surprise him, you know?” you replied, your excitement tinged with a hint of nervousness. Felix’s expression shifted subtly, his smile fading into a more thoughtful look. “Ah… maybe it’s better to save the surprise for another time,” he suggested gently. “Can you believe it? He finally has a girl in the studio! I’m actually happy for him—he’s really opening up and putting himself first for the first time since iv met him ahaha”

The words hit you like a cold wave. You tried to keep your composure, but inside, a mixture of confusion and heartache swirled. “A girl?” you echoed, struggling to keep your voice steady. “I didn’t realize…”

Felix nodded, his eyes soft with understanding. “Yeah, it’s new. But I think it’s a good thing. Chan’s been so focused on work and producing, and now he’s letting someone in. It’s nice to see him happy.”

You forced a smile, your heart sinking. “That’s… really good to hear. I’m happy for him, too.”

Felix gave you a sympathetic look. “If you want to talk or need anything, I’m here. You know we all are.”

You nodded, grateful for the kindness but feeling a profound sadness. “Thanks, Felix. I appreciate that.”

With a heavy heart, you turned and left the studio, the weight of Felix’s words settling over you. The lunch you’d brought now felt like a symbol of a hope that had been dashed. As you walked away, you tried to focus on the positive—on Chan’s happiness—but the realization that your feelings might never be reciprocated made the day feel heavier than it had before.

☄. *. ⋆

Although the two couldn't have been more apart, your feelings had just continued to grow. 

Winter had finally rolled around, bringing with it the warmth of the annual Christmas party Minho would host. The past few months had felt like a fever dream, with your feelings for Chan growing ever more consuming. The holidays, usually a time of cheer, now felt tinged with an undercurrent of longing.

As you walked into the party, the festive lights and laughter offered a brief distraction. You scanned the room until you spotted Chan across the crowded space. With a deep breath, you approached him, your heart racing with anticipation.

“Hiya, Channie! It’s been so long, hasn’t it?” you greeted, trying to keep your voice light despite the fluttering in your chest.

“Yeah, it has. My god, I’ve missed you,” he replied, pulling you into a warm hug. As you nestled against him, you felt your heart clench, overwhelmed by a mixture of joy and sadness.

“I’ve actually been meaning to tell you something,” you began, hesitating as you tried to steady your nerves.

“Me too, actually,” Chan said with a chuckle, his eyes twinkling with curiosity. “I hope it’s good news.”

“It always is,” you replied with a nervous laugh. “Well, tell me first.”

“No, you go first,” he insisted, a playful glint in his eye.

“Okay” you said with a soft smile. “Well I finally got tickets to the Wave to Earth concert in Seoul—that band I’ve been hooked on.”

Chan’s eyes widened in surprise and delight. “Oh, that sounds amazing! I’d love to. But… there’s something I’ve been meaning to tell you too.”

You felt a slight tightening in your chest, hoping for a revelation that might mirror your own feelings. “What is it?”

“Well, I finally have a girlfriend,” Chan said, his voice softening with a mixture of excitement and nervousness. “Or, well, I’m planning to ask her soon. I’m really excited about it.”

The words hit you like a cold wave, and you struggled to maintain your smile. “Oh,” was all you could manage, your heart sinking as you tried to process the news.

“What were you going to say before I interrupted you?” Chan asked, his gaze gentle.

“Oh, um, just that you should go to the concert with me, I know much you love music” you replied, forcing enthusiasm into your voice despite the ache in your heart. “I’m really looking forward to it.”

Chan’s smile was warm but distant. “That sounds great. I’m looking forward to it too.”

As the conversation shifted and Chan’s attention drifted to others, you found yourself standing on the periphery, the failed attempt at asking him out now overshadowed by the quiet sting of rejection. The realization that Chan’s heart was set on someone else cast a shadow over the festive atmosphere, leaving you to navigate the mingling feelings of friendship and unspoken longing. The party’s warmth felt like a cruel contrast to the cold emptiness you felt inside.

I THINK I HAVE A NEW FAVORITE STORY QUEST, AND IT IS CYNO'S STORY QUEST CH 2

Spoilers Below!

Shameless Cynonari shipping up ahead as well folks ✌️

Ok, I'm just gonna bullet point the entire thing coz I don't have much time (i basically speedran the quest a bit as well) so here are my thoughts:

Cyno and Cyrus then Naphis and Tighnari having basically the same hair is a bit funny to me ngl (but it is cute)

Naphis and Cyrus old man yaoi ✌️ I'll get back to this later but I clocked it early on

THIS QUEST IS BASICALLY A DREAM FOR CYNONARI AND KAVETHAM SHIPPERS. THIS WAS UNREAL PLEASE

Cyrus inviting Tighnari for lunch was cute

Cynonari + Collei probably do a lot of camping trips together 🥺

Collei is also more confident lately! You go girl!! WOOHOO

3 tents...1 for us and paimon...a scene where we see tighnari alone in his...and collei in her own tent...then we find out that cyno left for a supply run and tighnari is already awake...should we be connecting some dots here? (Cynonari shippers come get yall juice)

THE KAVETHAM SCENES IN THEIR HOME WERE INSANELY SOFT AND DOMESTIC. Also, Kaveh sitting on the table is *chefs kiss*

Tighnari was so quick to say he'll run after Cyno. I immediately started sobbing coz wow does he have a fast reaction when it concerns Cyno's safety. He probably would have gone after Cyno alone if we weren't there 😭

Kaveh, Alhaitham, Dehya, Candace, and Faruzan repeatedly telling Cyno to ask for help if he needs it makes my heart soft

Tighnari, meanwhile, doesn't even tell Cyno to ask for help. He straight up just rushes to his side, and that's adorable af. I swear it was starting to look like Tighnari has a one-track mind when it comes to Cyno's safety. Some of his braincells fly off! (good thing he has plenty)

SETHOS. MY SON. HE LOOKS SO GOOD. SETHOS SWEETIE IM ADOPTING YOU IN THE NEXT UPDATE (also wow that was not the voice i was expecting for him in EN, but I aint complaining!)

I keep coming back to it, but Tighnari is really quick when it comes to Cyno's safety and really doesn't pause lmao. Bro cut off Cyno's offer to ask Sethos with a hand and just started walking

new area pretty 🥺 I keep taking screenshots and pictures. got me going "omg! a lotus head column!!"

THE LORE WAS SCRUMPTIOUS BY THE WAY

THE ANIMATION FOR THE CYNO VS. SETHOS FIGHT WAS ALSO INCREDIBLE

Sethos downgraded from 5-star to 4-star caught in 4k hd ✌️ from polearm to bow too

look, the cyno lore was expected, BUT THE TIGHNARI LORE AS WELL?

Hermanubis being a Tighnarian and was King Deshret's chosen familiar hundreds of years ago, and now a full vessel of Hermanubis and a descendant of the Valuka Shuna meet and became friends in the Akademiya and are now companions 🥺

"I like that story." Yeah, I bet you do cyno, sethos basically called you and tighnari soulmates/ destined to meet and be together 🙄 also the ears to cyno's head gear actually really does represent tighnari's ears in some way after all lmao. i remember people making jokes about that

um...why is Bamoun buried like a pharoah?

NAPHIS SCOLDING CYRUS SO HARD LMAAOOO. he worries in his own way

Faruzan scolding everyone is so funny to see pls

cyno, tighnari, and collei having codes and gestures to give each other messages 🥺🥺🥺 tighnari and cyno used to say those codes back in the akademiya for each other, and now, in Cyno's own words, it became a family tradition 😭

Kavetham library date 🩷 then them returning to said date after our coffee sesh 🩷🩷🩷

Cyno taking us to his secret base and APPARENTLY ITS A CYNONARI DATING SPOT BACK WHEN THEY WERE STUDENTS. Y'all think they did the "It's beautiful." and "Yeah (looking at the the person instead of the view)" trope? coz the view was fr beautiful

Cyno and Sethos are officially brothers! yipee! (i will fr be pulling for him to complete the family)

THE PICTURES LISA TOOK OF CYRUS AND CYNO WERE SO CUTE 😭😭😭 cyrus and cyno are planning on visiting mond hehe

I need to review the entire quest again coz i bet i forgot some things BUT CYNONARI AND KAVETHAM NATIONS WE ALL WON

[rootsofdread]

Hi! I just found your blog(? is it called a Tumblr? a blog? I still don't know) and I love it! I'm sort of an on-and-off Dead by Daylight player, but seeing this great thing you've got going on here makes me kinda want to go play more.

I dunno if this is an acceptable request, but: how would the denizens of the Fog feel about a friendly and helpful dog!Reader?

For the killers, the faithful companion is leading them to injured survivors and also barking at people who try to sneak by (though likely not always successfully, since the Fog is likely messing with their senses), maybe even knocking things out of survivors' hands because they're a mischief maker.

For the Survivors, the friendly pooch is leading injured survivors away from the killer and to healers, picking up and bringing them dropped items, and barking at stalking killers to warn the people it cares about.

Everyone needs a friendly animal sometimes, I think. There's something really nice about petting a fuzzy friend when you've had a bad day, and I feel like being in the Fog probably means you have a lot of bad days.

most people call them blogs hehe! this was honestly such a fun request to do though, i was delighted seeing it in my inbox!! very unique and fun to write :-D!!

Jake Park:

Jake had long learned to be wary of animals — creatures, more like — found in the fog. So he was understandably skeptical when he saw a dog sniffing around in the distance. He was sure he’d see you transform into some grotesque monster. He was shocked to see you lead the killer into a trap he had set up earlier in the trial, jumping over it while they stepped into it.

He knew you’d be next if they caught up to you. He whistles to get your attention and makes sure you run away with him, ahead of him, even. There’s something strangely freeing about being with an animal again, to him, running with one and feeling like he’s truly in the wild again.

You help him a lot with building make-shift traps and getting items together for himself and his teammates. He never has to worry about being unprepared with you around, he can tell you to go find something he needs, and chances are, you’ll be back with it in no time. You’re often more helpful at times than his teammates are.

Jeff Johansen:

Jeff couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw you walk up to him while he was working on a generator. A stray dog. He was sure you were a figment of his imagination — but attempts to snap himself out of it proved futile. But he still wasn’t too sure, of course, he figured you must be something conjured by the Entity to mess with him and other survivors. 

But he began to trust you more when you lead him into a nearby out-of-sight corner just as the killer skulked by. He was in disbelief that you knew they were coming before he did, and seemed to figure this must mean you’re here to protect him rather than mess with him.

That said, he often spends more time protecting you than you do protecting him. He tells you to run and takes chase from the killer before they find you, and he’s thankful when you decide to listen instead of continue to follow him; he wants you to help everyone else when you can’t help him. You’ve brought him happiness and he’ll protect you at any cost.

Max Thompson Jr. / The Hillbilly:

Max doesn’t have a great track record with animals, and he nearly killed you when he first noticed you during a trial. The incessant barking is almost what did it — but then he noticed you were clearly barking at something. A bush? No, something inside the bush. He could hear something.

He swung his hammer into the greenery and collided with flesh. An injured survivor had been hiding from him, and you led him straight to them. He seems to decide for himself, maybe you can be useful. He lets you follow him around for the rest of the trial, occasionally looking over his shoulder to see you wagging your tail.

He eventually becomes much more attached to you, thinking of you more as a pet than a convenience. He can frequently be seen petting you and throwing you treats after you help him catch survivors, and perhaps, on occasion, he lets you lay your head in his lap while the two of you rest after a long trial.

Anna / The Huntress:

Of course, Anna had seen animals in the fog; the nasty creatures the Entity had spawned. They’re easy pickings, a fun activity for her when she’s not in a trial. She was surprised when she lobbed a hatchet at you and you actually dodged it. She knew you were smarter, a different kind of animal. A real animal, like from before.

Believe it or not, she was actually delighted to have found a real animal in the fog. She loved animals. And a dog, too — she always wanted a dog, particularly for hunting, but she had heard what great companions they make. It was never a secret how much she’d always wanted a friend.

She immediately takes to you and lets you come with her. She loves having an easy way to pinpoint where survivors are with you, letting you run off into the trialgrounds and alert her to the exact locations of them, occasionally even dragging injured survivors straight back to her. You’re rewarded with treats from her hunts.

“Miguel don’t you think you went a liiiiiitle too far?” A woman’s voice said from somewhere above you.

“If little anomalía here hadn’t tried to run away I wouldn’t have needed to snatch her like that.” You recognized that voice from earlier. It was the same smooth baritone that taunted you while they took you from your home. His name is Miguel?

“She passed out dude. You could’ve at least tried to explain before you brought her here.” The woman's voice was much closer this time, it sounded as if she were right next to your ear. You groggily opened your eyes and all you saw was red. Where even was here? Your head spun and you groaned as you tried to stand on numb legs, so numb that you had to lean against the wall for support. Once you felt stable enough, you stood up straighter and looked around. A small lady in pink heart glasses and a white trench coat suddenly hovered above your nose, she was so close that you had to cross your eyes to properly look at her. “Oh you’re awake! Hiii~” She chirped. You recoiled and hit the wall behind you and just as quickly as she appeared, she was back outside of the glass.

You hadn’t realized how confining this room was until then, all four walls were so close that you couldn’t fully outstretch your arms in any direction. “Where am I!” You shouted to the two blurry silhouettes that stood behind the red walls. “Jess, she’s awake.” The deep voice you now know belonged to a man named Miguel called out and a third person walked up, now there were two people and…a pixie? All ogling you like you were a caged animal at the zoo. The tallest one walked closer and tapped the glass twice with his knuckles and the frosted glass became transparent. You could see each person clearly, a black woman with a sleek red jacket stood in front of the cell, gently caressing her round stomach. The little pixie with glasses sat on her shoulder with her legs crossed, she tilted her head and smiled at you when she caught your eye. Next to the two of them, was him. His previously red eyes were now brown and looking down at you indifferently. You took note of his large biceps, now feeling a little better about how easy it was for him to take you away. He was wearing a skin tight suit that reminded you of SpiderWoman’s back home, he even had a similar spider stretching across his broad figure, though his design was a bit different. He had his hands on his hips and quirked his brow when you furrowed your own and shouted at him.

“Who the hell are you!? How’d you get in my room?! Why were you going through my stuff?! You abducted me!” You felt your blood boil as you got more and more angry at the absurdity of the situation. You glared at him and his slightly irritated stare only angered you more. “Are you done?” He asked, visibly unamused. “I-“ You started to speak again but he cut you off.

“Great. I’m Miguel O’Hara. My accomplice here is Jess,” The dark skinned woman nodded at you.

“The other is Lyla, my artificial intelligence companion.” Miguel continued.

“Awwwww you think I’m your companion?” Lyla crooned.

“Shut it. I’m being professional.” Miguel snapped and Lyla giggled in response. He rolled his eyes and continued.

“I’m only going over this once.” He said and took a deep breath, “You’re in Nueva York in the year 2099, this is my universe. I’m this city’s one and only Spider-Man. You belong to earth888, you’re here because your SpiderWoman reported you as a potential anomaly. There can only be one, and only one spider in each universe and for some reason, yours had two, you being the second. Your very existence could disrupt the canon and cause a multiversal collapse so I took you from your universe.” He rambled off so fast and with so much information it made you lightheaded. Multiverse? What does he mean my SpiderWoman? The audience of three could tell you were dazed by the info dump and Miguel sighed. He pinched his brow and pressed a few buttons on the watch he was wearing and the red walls that surrounded you began to slowly recede into the floor below.

“You just need to see it for yourself.” He said as he reached for your wrist. You jerked it back, “See what? Where are you taking me?” You demanded to know. He grabbed your wrist and slipped a white band on it. “What is this?!”

“A day pass. It’ll keep your atoms from glitching out and killing you.” He sighed as Lyla teased him. “I told you to give her the debrief in her room.” She hovered over to him and poked his cheek.

That reminded you, “Hey! How’d you get in my room?!”

“I followed you.”

“How’d you find me?”

“Your spider led you to me.”

“She…” You hesitated, “She wouldn’t do that! If you really are from another universe, how’d you get into mine?”

“With this.” Miguel held up his watch, its little monitor beeped and flashed quietly.

“What is it?”

“None of your business.” He said condescendingly.

“Except for the fact that it is because it’s the entire reason you were able to abduct me and bring me to wherever the hell I am now!” Your voice raised at the end of your sentence.

“All in a day’s work.” He completely blew you off, thwipped a web onto your shoulder and pulled you along with him.

“You don’t have to leash her like a dog Miguel.” Jess scoffed while walking along his other side.

“Maybe if she didn’t yap like one I wouldn’t have to.” He quipped. The four of you walked out of the dim room and down a long hallway. The chatter of many many voices began to get louder the further you walked, the bright light from the end made you squint and you had to blink a few times to adjust to your new surroundings. When they did, you were absolutely floored.

The hallway had opened up to a gigantic building that seemed to go up forever. Hundreds of spider people of every shape and size could be seen in every direction. Some swinging from the support beams, some standing and talking on the walkways that ran along the wall and up towards the ceiling, a lot of them greeted Miguel as you walked past. Other people stopped and stared at you being pulled along behind him, and you suddenly became very aware of how ridiculous you looked being led around like an animal. You quickened your steps so you could stay at Miguel’s side and give the web enough slack to hopefully be hidden. He looked down at you and began to speak. “Everyone here is a spider from their perspective universe. In each universe, they’re the only one. But here…” He stopped and looked around, “here they’re not. They have others like them.” You looked up at him and when his eyes met yours, you could see a glimmer of sadness sparkling somewhere beneath the surface. “I started this organization to unite the multiverses and keep everything in order so when people like you pop up, it’s my job to look into it.”

“But…I was just trying to help.” You said.

He sighed, “We all are.” He held his watch up to a keypad on a large gray door and it beeped and shone green. His voice hardened as he continued, “But that’s not your job.” The doors slowly opened and the four of you stepped inside.

“So I should just let people get robbed? Killed? Even if there’s something I can do to stop it?”

“There’s nothing you could do to stop it anyways. You couldn’t even catch the robber on 64th yesterday.”

“But-Hey! How’d you know about that?!”

Miguel ran his hand down his face. “I was there. Your spider was the robber and the woman she “stole” from was her girlfriend. They picked up her purse right after you left.”

You twiddled your fingers and tried to come up with a good excuse. “Well at least I got her purse. And the robber was…I was just having an off day.” You played with the hem of your sleeve and looked at the ground.

He stepped in front of you and looked at you earnestly. “We can’t afford to have off days.”

You hummed, not sure what to say next. He gently tugged at the web, urging you to follow him to a wall of labeled storage lockers. He stopped at one labeled Anomaly 888. “If you were there when that happened…” you thought out loud, “You stole my suit!”

“I confiscated it.” He said without looking down and typed in the code for the locker. A888. Pretty on the nose. Inside was the duffle bag from the night before, Miguel took it out and handed it to Jess, who had already sat down in front of the many large monitors in the center of the room.

“Run diagnostics on this stuff. Scan every page and have her suit analyzed.” He said while unzipping the bag and pulling your suit out. You were relieved to see it was in perfect condition. Jess nodded and laid your things out on a large table while Lyla began to scan your suit with her phone.

“I have some things to take care of, I’ll be in my office if you need me.” He said and pulled you with him, you took one long, sad look at your suit before the doors shut behind you. You tried to memorize the path you took to get to the office. Left, left, left, then a right. There’s a bathroom, and a restaurant is around the second corner. Your stomach growled. Whatever’s in there smelled so good. “You hungry?” Miguel cocked his head towards the restaurant. “You heard that? Over all these people?” You asked, feeling your face flush.

“I hear everything.” He said with a subtle smile and led you to the menu.

“Hey boss! What’ll it be?” A spiderman in a white suit wearing a chef's hat bounced up to the counter and leaned on the counter.

“Just a coffee for me. And whatever she wants.” Miguel said, gesturing to you.

“Ooooh~ who’s the lady? I haven’t seen her around here before.” The chef sang.

“Oh! I’m-“ you started to introduce yourself but Miguel cut you off.

“She’s not staying.”

The chef seemed to get the memo and asked “Well Miss Not Staying, what can I getcha?” He asked with a wink.

“I’ll just have a turkey sandwich please.” The chef disappeared into the kitchen and came back with your orders surprisingly quick. You and Miguel thanked him and continued on your way to the office.

Right, left, right. He led you through two intricately carved metal doors and flipped a switch when they closed behind you. Evening light flooded the room as the large window blinds rolled themselves up. His office was gorgeously furnished, bookshelves lined three of the walls, all completely stacked with stacks of books, papers, magazines, notebooks, and various other trinkets. Huge potted plants lined the perimeter of a cozy looking blue couch that sat up against the other free wall. Above the couch were various picture frames, filled with what looked like children’s drawings. A grand mahogany desk and plush arm chair sat in the middle of the room on top of an extravagant rug. The desk itself was pretty bare, save for a single picture frame and a long rectangle that ran horizontally along the far side of the desks perimeter. “This is beautiful.” You said breathlessly. “Infinite universes, infinite spidermen, one of them is bound to be an interior designer.” He said and sipped his coffee. You began to walk towards the couch but you stepped on a little toy car and fell backwards. Miguel pulled the web on your shoulder up and set you back on your feet. “Thanks.” You exhaled. He hummed in response. You looked down and carefully tiptoed over colorful blocks and little dolls strewn about the floor. You sat in the middle of the couch while Miguel got settled in at his desk. “Do you have kids?” He froze and looked up at you with an expression you couldn’t quite place. Grief? Anger maybe? “What?” He asked with an edge that made you uneasy. “I just assumed…because of the toys on the floor and stuff.” You said, almost apologetically.

“Oh.” He said flatly and peered down at the toys. “Those are Mayday’s toys. Peter B’s daughter.”

You nodded your head and looked around the room awkwardly while taking the occasional bite of your sandwich.

He pressed a button on the desk rectangle and a large floating screen hummed to life above a keyboard that was being projected onto the wood. He began typing furiously and you sank further into the couch as boredom began to set in. “Why am I even here?”

He glanced at you briefly then diverted his attention back to the screen. “Would you rather be back in solitary?” You shook your head. “Then cállate. Stop complaining.” He sighed and ran his hand through his hair, “I can't let you out of my sight until I figure out what to do with you.”

“So I have to sit here and wait for you to be finished?”

“Dios mío!“ He snatched a random book off of the shelf next to you and plopped it in your lap.

An Extensive History of the Discovery and Exploration of the Multiverse. You flipped through the thick book and scanned the tiny words. It could have been an interesting read if it wasn’t full of scientific words that hadn’t yet been invented in your timeline. You tried to lay on your side to get more comfortable, but the web connecting you and Miguel tugged his hand down. “Sorry.” You muttered as he scowled at you and snapped the string off of him.

Soon the sun had fully set and the bright lights of the city illuminated the office. You’d pretended to be sleep for the past hour, you kept your breathing steady and occasionally peaked to see if he was getting tired too. You could tell Miguel was trying to fight off sleep by the drowsy droop of his eyes and hunch of his back. He yawned and his sharp canines gleamed. Your breath hitched at the sight of them and you tried to keep your breathing consistent. That quick glimpse of his fangs reminded you what could go wrong if you messed this up. He shut off his computer and placed the picture frame on his desk face down. “Buenas noches mi chiquita.” He said softly. Who was he talking to? You wondered, but caught yourself before you let your mind wander any further. You needed to focus. You kept your eyes closed and waited until his breathing had leveled out to open them again. When it did, you peered over at him. His arms were crossed and he was leaned back comfortably in his chair. You weren’t sure how much time had passed before you had worked up the courage to slowly stand up and wrap Miguel’s discarded web around your wrist so it wouldn’t drag along the floor behind you. You tip toed your way towards the door, making sure to not to disturb any of the toys that tripped you earlier.

You held your breath as you cracked open the office door painstakingly slowly and slipped out as soon as the gap was big enough for you to do so. You closed it behind you and as soon as it clicked shut, you took off. The compound was eerily still and quiet, the lively atmosphere had been drained from the walls and all that was left was the quiet echo of your footsteps and shallow breaths. You passed the restaurant from earlier so you knew you were going in the right direction. You skidded to a stop once you made it to an intersection. You came right left right on the way here so now…you looked down either hallway and bit your lip unsure of which way to go. You shook your head and decided to go left, since you were coming from the opposite direction. “Right then left”, you whispered to yourself when you came upon two more intersections and sprinted through the empty building until you made it back to the familiar storage room doors. “Damn it.” You hissed once you realized you didn’t have a watch to open the doors. Upon closer inspection, you saw one door was left slightly ajar, you tried to get a good grip with your fingertips on the edge and pry it open but to no avail.

There wasn’t enough space for you to get a solid hold on it. You stood there anxiously until you remembered the web wrapped around your wrist. Perfect. You yanked the other end off of your shoulder and slung it onto the door. It stuck! You took a few steps back and pulled as hard as you could. It didn’t budge. You turned around and pulled the string over your shoulder and trudged forward, slowly the door gave way and you internally rejoiced once you finally got it open wide enough for you to get inside. You wrapped the web back around your wrist and felt your way along the wall to find the lockers. There was barely enough light for you to see the labels engraved on them but you eventually found yours. You tapped the keypad and its faint blue light shone bright enough for you to see the letters and numbers on it. A888. You typed in the password and the locker popped open. You reached inside and found the duffle bag. The zipper was way louder than you expected it to be and you winced as it broke the silence. Your suit was neatly folded inside and you quickly put it on and put the straps of the duffle bag on your shoulders as if it were a backpack. Time to go. You weren’t really sure what direction would lead you out and away but you didn’t have time to think about that. You picked a random direction to go and you started swinging across the pillars with your borrowed web.

Miguel opened one eye and scanned the room. You were gone. “Lyla.” He whispered. She flickered to life on the desk below and yawned. “Do you know what time it is?”

“Has ev-What? What do you mean, you don’t even sleep? Why the hell are you yawning?” She shrugged, “I like to pretend.”

He rolled his eyes. “Has everyone evacuated?” Lyla scrolled through her phone and gave him a thumbs up.

“Activate discrete lockdown.”

“Done.” She said as she followed him across the room. “Are you sure you can catch her? You’ve given her quite the head start.”

Miguel cracked his neck and rolled his shoulders as he stepped out of the office.

“Sin duda.”

Alliance Flying Creatures Headcanon

comic relief in 3...2....1.... Are you feeling a little lack of creatures living on the Odessen?

Have you ever wondered if it's strange, that during the establishing of Odessen's Alliance base staff didn't stumble upon any notable creature living in the mountains? Well so did I And came up with The birb -----------------------------------------------------------------

Sa'hau/Sahau (from broken catharese "sky arrow" or arrow bird), also known as fish bird is a reptavian native to the Odessen. The name comes from when the creature was first observed, diving under the water of one of the mountain lakes. Diving creature bears close resemblance to an arrow with it's sharp beak and feathered tail. Despite nesting in the caves high above the ground, sahau do find themselves occasionally hunting in the forests for smaller creatures. Sahau coats come in various shades of green, brown, yellow, gray and blue with different stripe and dot patterns. Their beak "ring" spot on the other hand comes in all known colours. They have sort of feather "mane" resting along their neck and are capable of raising it as an umbrella. Such "mane" serves as an attraction attribute during mating time and a warning or a threat display when sahau is confronted or is feeling uncomfortable.

Soooo ofc cause of Palladi's love to all sorts of animals absolutely not catching them by himself for his own Force bonding expirements's sake (how terrible) and because of the need to traverse Odessen's land fast and relatively safe he's just been like

and so the domestication of flying Odessen dinosaurs began

or better to say, a prolific partnership.

Tho the birbs look like they will eat you and all your family in one turn they turned out to be prone to learning and further training.

here I have Palladi to show off his Toruk Makto riding skills

Being quite social, sahau made up themselves a reputation of loyal companions, assisting locals in fishing and sometimes even hunting, serving patrol duties along side with their riders and in general being fast and furious mounts.

Birb is helping, not stealing! no no.

Ah, the riders! Due to this whole bonding idea a dedicated Alliance force was established consisting mostly of Force-users and Force-sensitives who have been trained to create special bond with creatures.

ye I just slapped the rifle on, I didn't even pretend

Judging from the name they are, well, armed with special spears, that, upon being thrown, open its "claws" or "jaws", puncture target's armour with its middle needle (hehe) and release a shock charge.

Oh look! This mirialan made himself tattoos alike sahau wings, each "feather" is achievement with his flying buddy.

They come in white and og black (I guess), and some jewelry prefered by a rider (just examples).

Thank you!!!!💜

[hsoppositezodiac]

you know exactly who this is..... more about tegiri & his lusus ...pretty please!!!!!!!

Hehe of course!! >:D

I like to think of Tegiri as one of those people who really want to go on anime conventions but don't have enough money for a decent cosplay, so he ends up looking very silly. He hates that he has to buy pirated or used copies of his favorite animes or mangas, saying he only does it because it's what he can afford, due to low caste and all.

He also buys fan-made products such as stickers, figures, posters, etc. to 'support artists'.

His lusus is very close to him. He's like a dog guard, making sure no one attempts to invade his hive, especially during the day.

Tegiri met Polypa when she caught him accessing pirate anime websites, on an empty corner, where he thought he was alone. She, however, felt pity for him, especially how he wasn't even harming anyone. Polypa is a violetblood, but she has never cared for blood color. Anybody can suck, just like how anybody can be good. And Tegiri was just some poor dweeb.

She spared him, but proposed a deal. Despite her very high status, and undeniable strenght, she could still use a companion. If he helped her with her work, she would get him original products.

As time went by and they become closer, pale feelings started to appear, but none of them are ready to confess them yet.

Also, Tegiri's lusus was initially very skeptical of Polypa due to her being a seadweller, always growling and huffing at her, he never attacked because Tegiri always reassured him that she was a friend. And as time went on, Tegiri's lusus grew fond of Polypa, too.

Hey there! You seem a little lost, is there any way I could help?

Bean: "!!!"

Bean: "Who said that! And how do you know my name!"

Bean: "Oh cheese and beans, nobody said this was one of them fae forests! I already gave up my firstborn, I don't have much else to give!!!"

Bean: "Look- Look up...?"

Bean: "I should not trust it, but they already have my name, what more is there to lose..."

Bean: "Oh! Not what I was expecting..."

Bean: "Actually, I don't know what I was expecting, but still."

Bean: "Uh, hey there! I don't really have anything of value to trade, and I imagine I'd be pretty chewy if you wanted to eat me, so mayb-"

Bean: "Eeeeohhhhhhh!!! You're just a little guy!!! A little guy who is so ears!!!"

Bean: "Does this mean I finally get to go on a magical adventure with a talking animal companion, which is something I have wanted since I was like seven!!!"

Bean: "Oough, you're so cute!! And fluffy!!! And you got a little heart on your tummy!!!"

(??? the Garlic Babulb (i.e. you guys) have joined the party!!!)

Bean: (gasp) "Wait! I gotta finish my current quest before any other adventures!"

Bean: "So, why am I in the forest? Well, I was mainly looking for my... Uh... Friend...? Yeah, friend..."

Bean: "And we're kinda new to the area, so I got a bit lost, heh... Know of any way out of here?"

(Tada! This is how Bean will receive asks from you guys! And unlike Pep's phone, you can interact with the world with fewer limitations! Still some tho, so lemme list what you can do!;

Ask questions, of course!

Minor magical abilities (M!As or summoning small gifts)

Flight

Prehensile toesies for grabbing (can also use wing thumbs or mouth)

Appear as a singular being, or a swarm (several beings)

Eat things! (Garlic Babulbs are usually vegetarian, but we are making an exception here, hehe)

Enhanced Hearing

And more?

And not quite an ability, but this little guy is somewhat of their own character, and may occasionally act on their own accord, without any input from you guys, so probably keep that in mind hehe)

[astarionposting]

Thank you @korcariiwitch for tagging me <3

20 TAV/OC QUESTIONS

[img credit]

I. what do they smell like at their freshest? (and/or after a tenday. your choice)

mint, lavender, rosemary and a hint of vanilla.

II. what would their blood taste like to vampires?

i dunno, like blood usually does lol, or whatever blood with a lot of wine in it tastes like.. maybe she'd get them drunk

III. how would they kiss their LI?

she is quite reserved, so gently/discreetly in front of others (or just not at all), and more passionate in private.

IV. how do they sleep with their LI (what position, does one steal the blankets, is one too hot/cold, etc)?

Always steals the furry blankets, either doesn't really cuddle bc she is sweating under the fur blanket or has her leg over her LI if it is really cold hehe

V. what does their tent area look like? where do they prefer to pitch their tent (next to water, covered on three sides, etc)?

Cozy warm tones with a lot of candles, pretty much a fire hazard, incense and oils burning, a lot of furs for her bedding area, and decorated with dried flowers, medicinal herbs and animal bones, mostly deer. Prefers to be away from water and in a more seculded/quiet area.

VI. if they had a set of dnd dice, what would they look like?

A dark navy with bronze accents. Deer/dragon style engravings.

VII. do they collect anything (gems, bottles, keys, etc)?

Medicinal herbs, dried flowers and animal bones (as previously mentioned) as she believes everything can serve a purpose, even in death.

VIII. if either, are they part of the astarion/gale book club (magic & literature) or the wyll/shadowheart book club (trashy romance novels)?

definitely astarion/gale club, but she mostly focuses on studying history and medical stuff

IX. if they had to be put in a “get along shirt” with a companion, who would it be?

She gets along with everyone pretty much, but I'd say she would butt heads with Astarion on certain things, such as always having half-assed plans and rushing into things, and maybe Sharran Shadowheart due to her own religious beliefs.

X. do they prefer speak with dead or speak with animals?

speak with the dead, as much as she loves animals.

XI. what are their thoughts on clowns?

meh.

XII. their companions are gossiping about them behind their back! who is it and what are they saying?

Not sure who would, but probably talking about her decision to get a giant septum ring of an elk post-resurrection lol... maybe Karlach, but in a good way, like she also wants to get a piercing to match

XIII. what makes them laugh? what does their laugh sound like?

A very quiet and brief laugh; I would say when she is having a genuine conversation with someone she cares about, mostly laughing over Gale's jokes. It is mostly a breathy laugh that comes out of her nose. otherwise, it is mostly a sarcastic scoff at lack of common sense/general stupidity. Having a father who barely smiled/laughed himself, she kind of mirrors the same behaviour.

XIV. do they have any inside jokes among their companions?

She isn't really the type. I also am bad at coming up with jokes :)

XV. what’s the description of their camp clothes in the inventory menu?

my mods are messed up so it just says 'not found' lol... it is jaheria's camp outfit

XVI. what’s the description of their underwear in the inventory menu?

i dont have any on her... lol NOT BC IM A PERVERT BUT BC I JUST NEVER SEE THEM SO I DIDNT BOTHER

XVII. how do they celebrate their birthday?

She is a noble lady, so probably a large feast (with lots and lots of mead and wine) would be held in celebration. A lot of music and dancing, entertainment, often in form of live competitions, are held, gifts, etc... but as she prefers the quiet, she always sneaks away as soon as everyone is too drunk to notice lol

XVIII. what modern day tv show would they binge over a weekend? do they get their LI to watch with them?

Nature documentaries lol, I think she would be fascinated by National Geographic docs for suuure, and she would probably attempt to get her LI to watch them too out of pure excitement.

XIX. do you have a playlist for your tav? if so, what’s the title + description?

I do! It is just named after her lol, I guess the songs align with her personal arc that I am roughly/poorly developing in my brain

XX. if you were to try pickpocketing them, what would they be carrying?

Probably something that reminds her of home or a loved one, maybe a stone or a small gift that is sentimental to her.

I FORGOT TO TAG AGAIN: @julietvoid, @cheekylittlepupp, @dark-and-kawaii, @punk-muffins, @anderwelt aaand anyone else who wants to! if u have already done u can ignore or u just dont have to do it at all lol

For Fanfiction Trope MASH-UP: 39 Survival/Wilderness Fic & 51 Accidentally Married

How is this possible?! Bite me!!! Let’s see… how would I write this scenario indeed… 🫠

31 year olds, NBA star players Aomine Daiki and Kagami Taiga are in an airplane with an All Stars team assembled to attend as the opening act of an international Philanthropic Sports Exhibition in Malaysia.

But the flight never makes it to their destination. 

Somewhere along the journey their plane crashes to one of the many uninhabited islands of the Pacific Ocean. Thankfully all the passengers are alive and save for some minor injuries, in mostly good health. When the flight attendants and the two pilots inform the players and the team’s representatives that they managed to successfully send an SOS signal but that they’d have to move locations for their retrieval, the whole of 18 people in the plane are given strict instructions to stay in close proximity with each other until they reach an open plane. They are after all, on an unknown land…

The walk to finding an open area where the rescue helicopters can land, is long and through thick vegetation. One wrong step on a slippery rock and a bone is broken, one minute late to turn and you lose sight of those walking ahead of you…

And as luck would have it, Aomine is the first to get separated from the bunch—

Getting distracted by the mirage of an animal, he steps aside the trail they follow and he loses sight of the line in front of him. When he realises it a split second later, it’s already too late. There is no glimpse of his teammates—no mob of fiery red ahead…

Bothered by the fact that his survival instincts tell him to yell for his companions names or even climb a tree to try and see ahead, their pilot’s first instructions were: “Do not make any noise, you might steer the attention of a predatory animal and don’t touch any greenery, there might be poisonous or severe allergic reactions to their juices…” were warnings that still echoed in his ears.

For better or for worse, though his primal instinct to sight and grunt as loudly as possible after making what seemed like aimless circles in the blindness of the forest, a loud crunching noise behind him nearly gave him a heart-attack. The leaves and bushes moved, and a perturbed, burgundy set of eyes met his. It was Kagami.

He had looked back to Aomine when he had seen the animal and saw him straying away, but by the time he could reach him he lost track of the others as well. Standing frozen in between, the mere act of looking around made him loose sight of both Ahomine and their team.

After hours of walking, and without a doubt approaching noon, a tired and hungry beyond salvation Kagami was hallucinating of grilled meat. Unable to convince him otherwise, Aomine was forced to follow behind a Kagami dragged by his nose through the mixed cents of wet soil and dead animals—heading deeper in that forest to his horror…

Well, Kagami was right. There was human activity on that island beyond just them and their team members. They ended up finding themselves amongst islanders that were in the midst of preparing what looked like a feast. Animals Aomine could not identify were thrown over fire and pulped seeds were boiling in stone vessels… Aomine decided there and then to never laugh at Kagami’s nose ever again—considering they would make it out alive from here, that is.

The indigenous people of the island—a tribe that had most definitely escaped being discovered by modern world researchers—quickly noticed the intruders and gathered around them, others looking at them curiously and others with terror and ready to attack them!

But who knows what or how, something Kagami did (probably when he pulled Aomine closer by his arm and growled at him to not move along his stomach’s incessant rumbling) prompted them to turn and run around and bring forth food offerings for the two basketball players. Aomine just stared with his mouth open as Kagami literally devoured anything the people gave him.

Like, this could be poison, right???

The minute Kagami’s hunger was sated and fell on his back, they were both urged to get up and brought to a cave. In the cave there were also 3 other village people, an older woman, a younger one and a young man. Once Aomine and Kagami were laid down next to the young couple, the old woman placed from a crystal on each of their chests and then closed their eyes and placed leaves on them and began a slow chanting like a murmur over their heads. Aomine feeling uncomfortable not being able to see, tried to lift one of the leaves—they could be used as sacrifices to some eldritch god for all he knew—but got his hand slapped away promptly and the old woman gave him a warning, which he may not understood the words but he very much understood the tone and that he would get slapped again if he so as moved… But as the adrenalin of being on his feet for more than 16 hours started to wear off and the fatigue to finally set in, the loud snore next to him was more than reassuring that if he was going to become a sacrifice at least he was going with that fucking idiot, that bakagami drilling his eardrums to the other side…

Three days later and to Aomine’s surprise still very much alive, the rescue team finds them fed and to his great dismay… happily married!

I hate you! No I don’t! I went fucking berserk with this! LMAO I’m literally vibrating right now, giIIRL!!! KYAWWW!!! _:(´ཀ`」 ∠):

This is full blown fanfic! GRAHHH!!!

[devildom-persephone]

More about Persephone’s character

Age: 8 years old(in human years)

Height: 4’5

Favorite color: purple

Favorite animal: Dogs

Personality: Very cheerful and bright. Absolutely no bad thoughts in that head whatsoever. She wears her heart on her sleeve and overall trusts everyone!

What she looks like:

Backstory:

Persephone is the daughter of Diavolo. She’s a child born out of wedlock. No one in the Devildom knows how it happened and Diavolo doesn’t mention anything about it either. All that is known however, was a women was brought to the castle hidden in a cloak with a baby in her arms. This was the last time she was seen by the public.

A week later, a search party was sent out looking for the cloaked women. She was however never found, leaving no physical or magic trace behind. All that was left was a baby, who was definitely Diavolo’s daughter.

Any rumors going around Persephone were quickly taken care of. Not a single bad word was said about her since.

Relationships:

Diavolo: That’s my dad! I love my dad ^^!

I like when he picks me up and throws me in the air hehe! He also takes me flying around the Devildom sometimes!

Barbatos: Baba! He tells me funny stories hehe! He’s also my friend! :D

Baba makes great desserts! I like his fruit tarts the best. ^^ He also reads me bedtime stories if daddy is too busy to do so!

Mephistopheles: Mephie! He’s funny hehe

I spend time with his little brother sometimes when Daddy is too busy and Baba needs someone to watch me temporarily. He gives me head pats too!

Lucifer: Luci. HE TAKES MY DADDY AWAY INTO HIS OFFICE DOING “adult things.” 😒 Baba says I can’t disturb them. I think I heard a crash one time in there.

Mammon: Momo or mammie. He’s cool! I like to braid his hair hehe!

He gets to do all these photoshoots and I get to see him on magazines! He tried to convince me to get him some treasure from the castle a few times though…

Leviathan: Levi. Levi is alright.

He lets me play on some of his games and watch anime with me sometimes. One anime was called “missy princess cutie and her great adventuring companions but oh no a dragon attacked and now missy princess must save her friends before they get sacrificed by a cult”

Satan: Tan Tan! He reads books to me and talks about cats hehe

I don’t like when he’s angry it scares me :(

Asmodeus: Assie! Hehe he gives me makeovers and I get to try on pretty dresses!

Me and him take a lot of pictures for devilgram! He says I’m pretty popular ^^

Beelphegor: Beel. I like Beel because he keeps picking me up whenever I ask. He also gives me yummy food!

Hehe I remember one time I was at one of his games and when he won I ran up to him and I got spun around!

Belphegor: Belphie. He keeps falling asleep on me :(

One time he said he was tired and he leaned on me and he got too heavy so he laid on top of me 😠 HE WAS EVEN LAUGHING!!!!

Simeon: Simeon makes me feel really safe when he’s around!

I like his stories most of all! They’re funny and really interesting hehe!

Luke: He gives me cookies whenever he makes some! All of the desserts he has made tasted really good!

Solomon: Sol. He’s interesting

No one lets me taste his cooking, but with the way it looks, I don’t think I want to try it 🗿 He also does funny magic tricks for me

Raphael: Raphie! He let me hold one of his spears before!

Onetime I dressed up as a hedgehog for Halloween and he followed me like a guard dog haha!

[rune-chaser]

OC question time!

Are there any songs that you strongly associate with any of your OCs?

OC(s) of your choice has been given 50 of their world’s monies. What are they spending it on? (If their world has different tiers of money, i.e. gold and silver coins, go with the higher value currency)

Do any of your OCs have pets?

And finally, just anything you would like to share about them in general :)

1)

There are a few actually! I'll try and grab some from an array of folks!

Marin: You all know her I've shared I think Fight Song by The Stanfields before, as well as Bad Influence by P!nk SO I'm gonna share another one that inspired the Icon I made for her playlist after like 4 years of having no icon Pink Panther by Scene Queen: https://open.spotify.com/track/32ljWqOxw3ckyuaUc882F6?si=ce75c6f7bc8946be

Sunita: You also Know Her I'm actually gonna share a song for her that is very very early on in her playlist! the 4th one added, because it's a song that I so heavily associate it with her I have a very hard time putting it to other characters. I Found by Amber Run: https://open.spotify.com/track/5zT5cMnMKoyruPj13TQXGx?si=f408015ff7a64533

Lake: THE NARRATIVE'S (my) FAVORITE I like her so much and she is so special to me and I plan on putting her through the wringer because I love her. THAT BEING SAID! bet you'll get off on this by Xana: https://open.spotify.com/track/73RMaD9aBr66HauQdertbc?si=2528b5cdc9f948de

Lord Huron: They are the big bad of my dnd campaign! Based on The Most Dangerous Game! This song I actually thumbnailed a good 40 seconds of an animatic to hehe Go Get Your Gun by The Dear Hunter: https://open.spotify.com/track/3JdJIrVP3QBSA8L1RSdUho?si=012dfef3ff89487d

Alani: The Captain that got them all into the mess of my dnd campaign! She's the captain of the ship that sunk getting to Tiamat's Maw (where Lord Huron resides, not that anyone knew that at the time) And I just really like it for her : ) Save Ship, Harbored by The Crane Wives: https://open.spotify.com/track/7EX8XCuQF5YlozMjNedoez?si=33fa94bd896b4f90

AND THE REST UNDER A READ MORE CAUSE WE ALREADY GOT LONG

2) We'll go with Alani again! Since the Alazarian world is about the only story place I have the money really matters, Song of Blood may also but I haven't developed it enough to be mindful about it.

50 gold can sometimes be a drop in the bucket with things, so I'll go with Platinum! which would be a higher value of things. But that can go a LONG way when supplying for a ship! Food Rations and even pay for her crew! But she would more than likely use it for supplies to keep her crew happy and safe, And should she see that there is enough left over after that to distribute, well should she be so fortunate to have the extra, why not share it around and pay the crew a bit more?

3) Lyric does! Huron too by a technicality.

Lyric however is a ranger, so they have an animal companion! A Hunter's Griffon that they named Cross! He's a lil guy a bit larger than the average cat! He's a very good tracker as well and helps Lyric out a lot on scouting around home and other places!

Huron has a bunch of Hounds! if you've read the story there's hunting dogs and Huron has those too! Like, A lot. Too many I think but A LOT. She's curated what's been desired of her hunting dogs to bite bite kill kill or maybe just be really really fast! He also has Guard Drakes that are, by a technicality, pets.

4) Wildcard

I actually wanna talk about Song of Blood a bit because I'm currently taking a nail file to it. and trying to slap some clay on it to mold it to what I want.

Specifically I wanna talk about this guy a tad : ) It's Naomi's dad!!!! When it wants to walk around looking a lil more human, because it's dragon form is a bit more fucked up. Series of images below of the most recent pass at its design : )

[dungeons-and-dragon-age]

13, 14, 28, 33 for the Rook asks? :3

[ask game]

Hiya, thank you for asking!! :]

13. Did Rook bring any trinkets/sentimental items to The Lighthouse?

She brought a bunch of little things, her pens and slippers, things like that. Notable are her favourite beetle shaped paperweight and a bone comb with skull carvings. Always makes her grin how on the nose the motifs are, but she likes them and they remind her of home.

14. What does Rook see when they look in the mirror?

A Mourn Watcher. A Dwarf...? A Dwarf. Someone who looks much more terrified than she should be. Someone who doesn't have many scars to show but who has made it this far, so she has to keep pushing through.

28. Does Rook have any pets/animal companions?

Not yet 👀 She fell in love with Assan though and it's making her want her own animal companion someday.. Personally i think i'd be fun to give her an undead pet hehe

33. What do fear demons look like to Rook?

Ooh that's a good question. Right now i wanna say something blighted Something other than darkspawn though; for them at least being blighted is a normal state. She'd see ghouls, maybe.

[sunjinjo]

Hello! I absolutely adore your fanfic with Sorush and Wanderer, especially that part in the recent chapter where Sefana calls dogs and cats "Creatures that goes 'meow meow' and 'woof woof' " because that's ridiculously adorable and now I want to see Sorush's reaction to pets, ESPECIALLY dogs and cats.

Hehee thank you so much :D My pleasure… (for the record, I’m a cat person, adore the little buggers, but where it comes to the Pari who are basically feathery dangly toys, well…)

Sorush critically inspected the animal in front of her. “What have you brought before me now, Yasnapati? Some sort of…” She narrowed her eyes. “…enlarged, floppy fox…?”

The Wanderer bit his cheek to keep from snickering. “It’s called a dog. Humans keep them as companions much like you do the sunyata flowers.”

“A ‘dog’, hmm.” She hovered in closer, gauging the dumb happy look in its eyes as it panted and lolled its tongue at her, following her with its snout. She gingerly reached out a wing, patting its head, jolting back a little as the panting and lolling intensified, its tail thumped against the ground, and its head came up to bump into the touch. “Ah!”

“…It’s happy. It likes to be touched.”

“…I see.” She patted its fuzzy head again, relaxing a little. “This is not so bad, Yasnapati. I see it values my presence well. You could stand to be more like it.”

“I’m more of a cat person, myself.”

She turned to him, thoughtfully resting a wing where her mouth would’ve been. “Cats, you say…?”

A badly stifled grin. “…Wait here.”

“Ah, another furry four-legged beast? This one is even more akin to a desert fox. Pray, how is this one more suited to your person?” Sorush hovered in towards the tabby cat, unguarded as it barely reacted to her presence other than opening its eyes a little wider, dilating its pupils a little more in quiet interest. “Surely, the difference could not be –”

– she’d gotten too close. The cat’s calculating stare, fixated upon the little flowery creature hovering in, had turned to murder as she’d gotten within reach, and it’d pinned her to the ground with a lightning-quick paw in the blink of an eye. She struggled, yelping out. “Yasnapati! Get it off me this instant! Foul creature, I command you – !” Kintsugi stepped in, but as soon as Sorush felt the faintest hint of claws, her reflexive burst of flashing Khvarena had the cat jumping back and yowling in fright. The Pari darted up, barely dodging another swiping paw and lingering at Kintsugi’s shoulder, panting and stammering in wordless fury as she glared down at the cat. It glared right back at her, tail swishing, clearly figuring out a way to climb the Wanderer and get at her. He looked between the two. “Oh no, I’m out.” He summoned his halo, hovering up yet higher. “Maybe a terrarium animal, next time, little pest.”

[kate-les-bridge-stewart]

I'm having dw au brainrot again so here's a merfolk au

First of all in this universe both humans and timelords are merfolk shapeshifters which means they can switch between humanoid form and their merfolk form. I only did this so it would better fit in with the nature of the canon universe. Can't exactly explore the universe when you can't even walk on land lol.

I will be providing pics of the animals for visual reference but obviously these are merfolk not just straight up fish, so until I draw them all you'll just have to use your imagination lol.

OK so here's a list of some companions and their respective aquatic form

Yaz - swordfish. Cus sword lesbian. Hehe

Graham - whale shark. This came to me in a dream. I can't explain it but it just feels right.

Ryan - honeycomb moray eel. Honestly I just think they look neat.

Nardole - green spotted pufferfish. Round. No other reason. Just round. Like nardoles egg head

Bill - spotfin lionfish. I wanted to pick something powerful, big, and beautiful (all for my baby bill ☺️) so I picked the classic highly venomous and ever extravagant spotfin lionfish.

Clara - (this one took me a long ass time but I finally settled on one) blue dragon nudibranch. This lil itty bitty may be tiny but they regularly eat the Portuguese man o war and store its venom in their little wings. When you get stung by them you get the same effects as a man o war sting which is not fun in case you don't know :)

Osgood - blanket octopus. They're big and colorful and gay and smart I just HAD to pick this for Os

Kate - orca. You know em, we all know em. Highly social and scarily intelligent, they're master hunters with complex behaviors, all of which reminded me of kate

Unfortunately there's a limit of 10 pictures you can put on a post so I'll have to do the masters and doctors in a separate post so stay tuned for that :3

Ok so this is completely indulgence butttt

Doctor who AU where timelords are a good bit eldetich/cryptid this IS the thirteenth doctor as she was the one I had first got the idea about doing.

Hers are mostly rabbit, dragonfly, hairless cat, reptile, and a bit of parrot fish/pelican.

(The galaxy part is scaled, and she is hoofed/clawed??)

Anyways my little au involves timelorda having tails and "horns" (which are their antenna. They are sturdy but used to help with telepathic communication).

Their forms may change, but their antenna doesn't change shape, color though can change. (While I day this, there can be slight variations of shape but not by much).

How they hide this form is by keeping extra bits and their whole body disperse through space and time around them. Putting parts away till their "human."

Tails also change, but the only consistent part is there almost always thin and long, uncomonly will they be short. Otherwise, it's all fair game.

Despite being one gender they can have other animals sexual dimorphism. (Like a timelord where the body is female, but they have male peacock colors plus tail feathers).

The language that the time lords speak is very...let's say chimey. Depending on what they say, it's very diverse, going from wind chimes to rolling thunder, to the tik of a clock, all the way to the ground shaking. It's very unhuman, and for some things, you can feel the sound through your bones. (Hehe, maybe they can make the bone clanking noise :) ).

Another tidbit I'll add is that timelords are COMPLETE hoarders. Especially the doctor. They(the doctor) will steal companions' clothing once they know/trust someone close. Their room does have a bed at some part of it, but the room is COMPLETELY filled with junk from their travels.

On that note, low-key headcannon that timelords see time as the way we see saltwater be introduced to freshwater. They always see it there but can lessen it in situations where they need to see clearly by looking past time. They see the timeliness on objects, and that's why the doctor steals from companions so they can always see/smell and remember the past in the best way possible

I'll stop now, but I'm still just a little indulgence.

Small drswing on how 13 looks with tails + horns and ears are out. (missed the ball rip).

Also, the body is based on galaxies, and the stars do move on her :D. And the ball on the tail glows in the dark.
