Prompt 168
So. Apparently halfas are like phoenixes or something, which Danny would’ve really liked to know.
See, usually with ghosts if they’re forced to retreat to their cores they reform as was, but apparently, since they’re still partially living, schrodinger's people and all that, halfas have to regrow their body from scratch. At least that’s what he’s understanding from Frostbite.
But how come he has to deal with it? It’s Dan’s fault for trying to pull such a stunt! Oh, it’s either him or Vlad? Well fuck, he might have calmed down and is going to therapy in both the living realm and the Zone, but he’s waaay not equipped to raise a child except for like, monetarily wise.
Well dammit, how long will this core incubation thing last, he has his new job in… let him check which offer he accepted again… He has his new job in Coast City that he needs to finish packing for and then all the rest of the stuff to do.
What do you mean it’ll take months?! He doesn’t have months?! Urgh, fine. At least being a mortician isn’t that exciting, nor dangerous. Just hand him Dan’s core and he’ll figure things out for the living side of things. He’s sure Tucker and Sam wouldn’t be against helping, if only to try and claim favorite aunt or uncle spots.

Prompt 4: Soft and Sweet
Featuring: Killer, Creme, and Cocoa!
Ship(s): None
Summary: Teaching Creme how to eat a crab.
Warning(s): Eating a crab. F in the notes for poor Crabby boi.
Credits: Leviathantale and the Mermay Bingo I'm using are both by @skumhuu!
"AAAAAHHHH, STARFISHING DAMN IT!!!"
Killer flinched when he heard a high-pitched voice curse so loudly, then he quickly lashed his tail back and forth to swim towards the source as he recognized it as one of the pup's voices.
Upon arriving at the distressed pup's location, he couldn't help but chuckle when he saw Creme wrestling with a crab in frustration. The poor little octopus kept getting pinched by the crab pincers every time they tried to bite it, and it was clearly pissing them off.
The fins on the sides of their head flicked angrily as they lunged at the crab again, wrapping their small tentacles all around it as they fruitlessly attempted to take a bite out of the hard shell. They quickly retreated again with tears in their eyesockets when they wound up getting pinched. Again.
Abrupt giggles from nearby caught both Creme and Killer's attention, and they looked to see Cocoa watching Creme attempt to eat the crab. Creme let out a quiet snarl, their tentacles twitching as they glared at Cocoa. "The abyss are you laughing at?!"
Killer backed up into the shadows of the cave to stay out of sight as Cocoa flicked their fins and swam up to Creme, a smug look already adorning their face. "That's not how you do it, you dumb isopod."
"As if you know how to 'correctly' eat it!" Creme snarked back, crossing their arms as they pouted. They kept using their tentacles to pull the crab back towards them every time it tried to run away though.
"Well, I know it's definitely not the way you were trying." Cocoa responded bluntly, which earned them a swat from Creme.
As the twins continued bickering with each other, Killer swam out of hiding and drifted over to the two little octopi. "Do you really wanna know how to properly eat a crab?" He purred in amusement, hearing a startled squeak from both pups as they whirled around to face him.
"Yes, prove them wrong--!"
"No, I don't need help!" Creme quickly snapped back, talking right over their sibling. They lunged at the crab yet again, picking it up and angrily bashing it against a sharp rock that they found. "Stupid son of a blobfish! Why! Won't! It! Just! DIEEE?!"
"Hey, hey, hey. No need for that kind of language." Killer scolded Creme, but he didn't sound too stern.
"But you say those words all the time." Cocoa pointed out, crossing their arms and raising a bonebrow as they stared at Killer.
"True, but I don't want your other parents knowing that I taught you those things." Killer shrugged, then swam closer to Creme when he saw that they were still struggling with the crab. "Here, just let me help."
That earned an indignant hiss and a couple nips from Creme, but he didn't back down and instead took the crab from the pup. Surprisingly enough, Creme didn't attempt to take it back. Instead, they sat down on the ground and crossed their arms as they pouted.
"Hey, hey, pay attention!" Killer snapped his fingers to get both of the pups to watch him, then he proceeded to take apart the crab. First ripping the legs off, popping the t-shaped shell part on the underbelly, prying off the hard top shell, then pulling out the gills and filtering organs before finally pulling out some of the actual meat too.
The twins watched in wide-eyesocketed awe as he taught them how to dissect the crab, and they were eager to reach out and try the meat when he handed them both equal portions.
"Woahhh, this is actually soft!" Cocoa spoke first, gently squishing the meat in their hands out of curiosity.
"An' 's swee'!" Creme's comment came out muffled as they had already stuffed their mouth full of the crab meat, but they were clearly enjoying it too.
Killer just gave an entertained smirk as he cracked open the large claws, then hesitated as he heard hissing again. He looked over to see the twins already fighting over who would get the most crab.
Sku, children were a handful and a half.

i have so many passionate feelings about zhongli’s wrists and arms and i feel if i don’t say anything ill shrivel up and die anyway
Anyway here are my own personal thoughts cause its not good to keep your feelings bottled up you risk dying
anyway i love the gold i love the black, i love the gold veins and i love the black geo hands encrusted with gold cracks, i love the transition from gold to black
i always imaged a transition from human zhongli to his dragon adepti form. Like he starts off with gold veins then his hands turn gold then the rest of his arms turn black. Since the now exuvia has dark scales and a golden mane, as he transformed the black would turn into scales all over his body like across his torso, before the rest of his draconian appendages pop out, his tails his horns, but his head and feet are the last to change and then poof you have dragon morax.
Zhongli's gold has always been one of my favorite parts about him specifically his arms, like i love sleeveless outfits so when he showed up kind of swooned. I always kind of imaged that Zhongli's current vessels are forged from geo itself so if you were to cut him open all his black and gold elemental exterior would kind of drip out.
anyway personal favorite is the huge geo hands that surround him in the liyue cutscenes. I love the imagery of his "own" hands encasing him and holding him up before the world.
zhongli's pretty conservative except his archon statue displayed all over the nation for some reason but dont get me started on his body. i never felt that the gold was only on his arms i fully believe that is all over his torso like listen to me listen to me look at the exuvia look at zhongli now look back at the evuvia i want you to go through the aforementioned transformation steps i just mentioned and then walk with me, his entire chest can be gold and black and shit that is what i believe and that is the truth because i am never wrong and zhongli whispered it into my ear after we spent a passionate night together anway
when it comes to his wrists i believe his just controls how much it glows and how much power he displays. I have said this before sometimes his hands are black sometimes theyre gold and we've seen zhongli's wrists before and sometimes theyre pale and sometimes they go all the way up his foream so i really think he just fucks with it. Like Morax Mode he is loaded up with geo elemantal energy he's black and gold all over but in a casual setting only traces of gold remain
i would kill to see the big ass geo hands like really like really im begging im really crying please
anyway i just wanted to talk about it and i felt letting myself fester with this deep and fervent lust and longing was only going to make me unwell LIKE CAN YOU IMAGINE THE BLACK TURNING TO SCALES WHEN HE GETS SERIOUS THINK ABOUT IT THATS SO COOL
but zhongli wants to be a little pampered princess consultant so one can only imagine what the rest of his body looks like all we see are his silly feeties and his hands and wrist i feel like a victorian man seeing a woman's ankle like kya kee scandal this is a man in the most prudish outfit ever like he got that shit on permanently which in reality only begs the question of why his archon statue is like that when zhongli himself is always fully fucking covered why were you half naked his nipples are out and everything?
tldr: i think zhongli's whole body glows black and gold like everything glows only his extremities like his head and feet are spared but hes a natural shapeshifter so he probably does whatever i just really live glowing appendages
