#me idk how to do their groovy

[ozrockbitway]

If Vale had groovy cards, what do you think they would look like/be the story behind them? 👀

Vale groovy cards...I eventually plan on drawing their Groovy art at some point. Im just drawing blanks on how to do it + I'd wana do a BG and make it SICK like an actual card. So...one day...eventually :')) I am drawing more recently so!! its a possibility!!

I'll focus on the 2 SRs I have for them I guess?? Considering the bday one is technically an interview so...not much story there?? Although for that one I'd like Grim to be the one interviewing them & have him in the groovy art too uwu/

Suitor Suit Vale!

It starts off with them fretting over their looks. Like a bit after they've all changed into the suits to go save Idia. Vale is just nervous cuz they don't usually dress up, but they also like it?? No time to appreciate it all though when the homie is in danger!

There's also talk on how to woo the ghost bride. I'm thinking that Vale ends up suggesting really good lines?! They just say it's cliched stuff from novels about princesses and whatnot but hey, those kinda things might actually work. I think Ace would try to prod them a little like, what would you say to get someone's hand in marriage, without 'cheating' aka using your novel knowledge. Do something from the heart.

To be continued in pt 2 lol

Commentary from Vale about how this tragic tale of the ghost bride finding her one true love would make for a good novel. Insert comments about oh please dont do it. They laugh...maybe they won't but no promises hehehe.

Ima dab me in some Corpse Bride reference here. sorta. Basically it's Vale on their way back to Ramshackle at night with the looming thought of how they never got to give their hand at wooing the princess. They take Ace's words to heart and try to think of something to say. Also a comment from either Rook or Epel, probably Rook about thinking about someone who inspires such thoughts (coughs Idia coughs)

They give a soliloquy, their own heartfelt confession and lines for a wedding. They get a bit embarrassed afterwards and glad that no one is around. But they're totally using that in the future.

haha funny bonus is if the Shroud bros hear it or something and Ortho just eye emojis at his bro like HMMMMMMMM lil bro knows what's up

I'd like their groovy to be like gets down on one knee and extends hand out to the player or something?? w/ the ramshackle background?? to be more shippy its them doing it to Idia B))

Starsending Robes Vale!

steals my own fic idea lol. sort of. but it starts off with Ortho asking about what Vale's wish would be despite giving/sharing it with Grim. They're honestly not so sure about it like?? The thought of having magic does come to mind and they say it but they know that isn't possible. So maybe something else? Ortho says to think on it and he'll grant it!

Vale ends up hunting for wishes with Ortho & Idia the most out of the selected trio. I know the Shroud bros get the wishes from the Leech bros, so Vale ends up hanging around them for a bit. The eels are so kind and willing to lend an ear to Vale's woes...at least they seem to be interested.

Vale admits that they don't know what to wish for. Floyd points out it doesn't matter since they don't get a wish anyway while Jade is softens the blow saying its all for fun and its not so serious. Conversation ensues and it boils down to Floyd's side saying be selfish or following after Jade's with his selfless wish. Ugh decisions!

to be continued...

The night of the starsending...

They're still conflicted on what to choose. Selfish and selfless. They're rarely the former, but the latter is so much easier. They consider the bros (Jade & Ortho) and their wishes. As they think on it they end up seeing the "shooting stars". And then it hits them.

The whole thing is done and Idia is probably trying to peace out but Vale spots them and is just like!! I know my wish!! Idia is like?? wishing is over but go off I guess??

My wish...is to spend as much time with my friends here.

They probably explain that they were tempted to wish for everyone's wish to come true, but they can be a little selfish and wish for that instead, right? It's silly, but that means they also get to spend more time with him and Ortho too!

tbh the image I have in mind would be similar to the header on my sideblog or just focusing on Vale making the wish with Idia in it uwaaa

Yeah the meds are wearing off mid-day and I get really warm and fuzzy like I’m stoned or walking around in a dream (it feels great but I basically stop functioning properly at around 1:00 PM which is a problem when most of my executive functioning issues happen past 4:00 PM) so they doubled the dose to see if it would last longer

As someone who hasn’t played the twst game very long I just got into it. I wanted to know about events? Like do some not come back? For example do the Masquerade, Port, Beanfest, Ghost bride, starsending events. Do those come back? I hear people say how they missed their chance to get this great card like as if it won’t ever come back and then someone on Reddit will say something like “Oh beanfest happened twice on the JP server” so which events have gotten reruns so far? I would ask about more recent ones like the Easter one but idk if it’s too recent to know if get rerun or if they clarify that it won’t come back? I was really sad to find out about the Silk outfits I missed out on when they visit the scalding sands. I also was really sad to find out i missed out on the anniversary cards because I didn’t play the game yet. I wish they would add the anniversary cards to the store at least…I want to be apart of the celebration :’)

I was looking in the shop and saw all the different groovy items you need to groovify event cards and this question just came to me so I had the urge to ask someone…

welcome to Twst! 🎉 it is a bit confusing to jump right into, especially because. they're not always consistent. :') it sounds like you're probably playing on Eng, which I'm less familiar with, but I'll try based on what I know! (I also don't always remember everything, so somebody please correct me if I get something wrong!)

first, I do recommend the Twst wiki.gg, which seems to stay pretty up-to-date on events for both the Eng and JP versions! it's a great resource for when you want to see if/when an event ran or rerun. in general, I believe that the Eng version only does reruns that have already happened in JP, so if JP has a rerun that hasn't happened yet in Eng, they should get it too eventually! on the other hand, I don't think either version has ever rerun an event more than once. :( BUT this doesn't mean you're entirely out of luck, because:

anniversary events (March for JP, January for Eng) will usually offer a chance to get both an older event SSR and an older birthday SSR in the shop, via buying a special item with exchange currency (which you get by doing pulls on the anniversary gacha, I think you need to do 100-150 pulls for enough currency to buy the item to exchange for an SSR). only SSRs though, and you're limited to one each (one birthday, one event). so if there's an SSR you REALLY want and it's already had its rerun, it's probably worth planning to save up some keys for!

as for actual reruns, they seem to come in a few different flavors:

straight-up rerun, no changes or extra cards

unchanged event story, with a new SSR of a character who wasn't in the story (e.g. Applepom Jamil)

slightly rewritten event story that includes a new SSR (e.g. Ghost Marriage, they don't seem to do this anymore though)

completely new event story that acts as either a sequel or alternate-universe version of the original (e.g. Beans Day part 2, Fairy Gala IF) (though this is pretty rare and might actually count as a separate event, rather than a rerun?)

Master Chef/Culinary Crucible events have never gotten reruns (though they might start now that we've finally gotten through all the characters in JP, time will tell). birthday and Halloween events will also rerun the previous version in addition to the new one -- for instance, Eng should be getting a Glorious Masquerade rerun this year, followed by the new (Playful Land) Halloween event. and a birthday campaign will, in addition to the new card, have a separate pickup for the previous year's birthday card.

for the specific ones you mentioned -- I think Beanfest, Ghost Bride, Fireworks, and Starsending have already rerun in Eng, so those most likely will not be rerun again (at least not anytime soon). Masquerade should be coming back for you guys this Halloween, and Portfest JUST got its rerun in JP, so that should be coming too sometime in the future! (no new SSR though, alas, I was really hoping for a little marching band sailor boy Leona. 😔) the Easter event is the White Rabbit Fest, right? that one hasn't gotten a rerun in JP yet either, so it's still on the table!

all that said, it's entirely possible they'll change the rules at some point and start doing more reruns/chances to get older event cards, especially since the game's been going on for a few years now and some cards haven't been available for a pretty long time! there's only one card that they said was for-realsies limited-time-only and wouldn't ever be available again -- Platinum Grim, since he was to celebrate the 100th anniversary -- so. there's always a little bit of hope for everything else. :D (fairy gala Ortho PLEASE COME BACK SOB)

Home tap — Groovy: [LOCKED]

Home tap I: Like my makeup? Hehe! I asked for a little help, I think the gemstones are a nice touch!

Home tap II: Huh? ..You’re surprised I’m not cheering for Floydie? Hahaha! Maybe I would’ve if it was just another one of his games, but this is different. He’s totally going down! Go 1-A!!

Home tap III: This whole, ‘cheerleading’ stuff is so unique, isn’t it? ..What? ‘Do I not know what cheerleaders are’? P-Pfft! Whaat?? I—I totally do!” (Shes lying. She didnt know what cheerleaders were until this event.)

Home tap V: Ready?~ Lets go, go 1-A! Wipe the floor with their sorry asses! Make em’ see stars! …What? Too much? Pshh, nah. Im jus’ encouring them!

(^^ she only learned to do that stuff recently for the event LMFAO)

I couldn’t resist making her sparkly LMAOO

I imagine her being really REALLY into the whole cheerleader thing… Except shes too into it. Wayy too enthusiastic and cheers like shes watching a wrestling match sometimes 😭😭

I ADDED SOME STAR GEMSTONES N PURPLE GEMSTONES NEAR HER EYES :33 She also has sparkly eyeshadow but her hair is covering it here sigh…

Her laces for her shoes are mismatched !! Thought it’d be a cute detail~

She def steals Floyd’s jacket from the event after its over. Sorry, its the Kyra tax im aftaid all jackets must be handed over to her /silly

Kyra is SUUPER competetive, so not even Floyd is spared during this event , and similar events 😭😭

After learning how to do tricks like cartwheeling and walking on her hands, her response to almost everything for funsies is to blackflip. Im sorry but whoever taught her this just did irreversable damage and shes going to be abusing her ability to backflip whenever she can

“Kyra why did you draw Azul as the soyboy on your exam paper” “i was bored lol *backflips*

This is getting so off topic i apologize LMFAO

Simultaniously the worst and best cheerleader ever, bless the souls who aren’t in 1-A because she WILL be talking trash (passive aggressively) (or not idk)

The warm breeze of a late spring afternoon drifts through the open windows of the Stark home, carrying the scent of blooming flowers and freshly cut grass. You’re in the kitchen, cutting up fruit for the twins’ snack, while Tony tinkers with a small project at the counter—a habit he claims is "relaxation." Estelle toddles around the room, clutching her unicorn toy and babbling happily, her words a mix of toddler nonsense and surprising clarity.

In the midst of the gentle chaos, the sound of footsteps descending the stairs draws your attention. When you look up, your jaw nearly drops.

Cora stands in the doorway, dressed in a pale lavender sundress with delicate straps that rest on her shoulders. Her dark hair is pinned back in a loose bun, with a few strands falling artfully around her face. She’s wearing a touch of makeup, just enough to highlight her features, and there’s a faint blush on her cheeks that’s definitely not from cosmetics.

“Wow,” you say, setting down the knife and leaning against the counter. “Look at you.”

Cora fidgets, smoothing the skirt of her dress. “Is it…too much?”

“It’s perfect,” you assure her, smiling warmly.

Tony, who has been completely absorbed in his work, glances up at your words. The second he sees Cora, he freezes, his wrench clattering onto the countertop.

“Who are you, and what have you done with my daughter?” he demands, his voice tinged with both awe and confusion.

Cora groans, crossing her arms. “Dad, don’t start.”

“I’m not starting anything,” Tony says, standing and gesturing toward her outfit. “I’m just—since when do you wear dresses? I thought dresses were the enemy. Like, you’ve had an anti-dress campaign going since you were five.”

Cora shrugs, a shy smile tugging at her lips. “I don’t know. Being with Ryan just…makes me feel different. Like, it’s okay to try stuff like this.”

Tony’s mouth opens, then closes. He looks at you, as if searching for confirmation that the world hasn’t completely turned upside down. You give him a subtle nod, and he sighs, running a hand through his hair.

“Okay,” he says, turning back to Cora. “You look…nice. But—”

“Here we go,” Cora mutters, bracing herself.

“—but,” Tony continues, holding up a finger, “if you’re going out dressed like that, you need to be prepared. Do you have a jacket? Because it’s going to get chilly later. And what about shoes? Those sandals don’t look like they’re great for walking. Also—”

“Tony,” you interject, placing a hand on his arm. “Let her breathe.”

“I’m just saying,” he protests, ignoring you and turning back to Cora, “you should text us when you get there. And when you leave. And if anything feels off—”

“I know, I know,” Cora interrupts, rolling her eyes but smiling despite herself. “I’ve got it, Dad. You don’t have to give me the full lecture.”

“Of course I do,” Tony says, crossing his arms. “It’s my job. That’s in the Dad Manual, chapter one.”

“Pretty sure the manual says not to embarrass your daughter,” Cora quips, grabbing her small purse from the counter.

Tony pretends to gasp, clutching his chest dramatically. “Embarrass? Me? I’m the cool dad!”

You chuckle, shaking your head. “You’re something, that’s for sure.”

Just then, the sound of a car pulling up in the driveway makes Cora straighten, her nerves evident in the way she fiddles with the strap of her purse. She takes a deep breath, steeling herself.

“That’s him,” she says, heading toward the door.

“Hold on,” Tony says, stepping forward. “I’ll get it.”

“No!” Cora blurts out, spinning around and blocking his path. “I mean, no, thanks. I’ll…I’ll handle it.”

Tony looks deeply offended. “Why can’t I meet him? I should meet him. He’s taking my daughter out!”

“Tony,” you say, stepping in before he can escalate. “Let her go.”

He turns to you, incredulous. “Let her go? Just like that? We don’t even know this kid. What if he—”

“Tony,” you say again, placing a firm hand on his chest. “Not yet. Let’s wait a little longer, see how things go. She’ll tell us when it’s time.”

Cora shoots you a grateful look before slipping out the door, shutting it quickly behind her. Through the window, you see her walking toward Ryan’s car, her movements a mix of confidence and nerves.

Tony stands frozen, staring at the closed door like it’s betrayed him.

“Unbelievable,” he mutters, sinking into a chair. “She didn’t even let me say hi.”

“You’ll meet him,” you assure him, sitting beside him and resting a hand on his knee. “When she’s ready.”

Tony huffs, leaning back in his chair. “What’s so special about this kid anyway?”

You smile, watching as Cora climbs into the car and waves goodbye through the window. “He makes her happy. Isn’t that enough?”

Tony grumbles something unintelligible but doesn’t argue further. Instead, he reaches for Estelle, who has wandered over with her unicorn in tow. She climbs into his lap, resting her head against his chest, and Tony sighs, wrapping his arms around her.

“At least you’re not going on any dates,” he says, his voice soft.

“Corn date!” Estelle chirps, pointing to her toy.

Tony chuckles, pressing a kiss to the top of her head. “Close enough.”

You lean into him, smiling as you watch the car disappear down the street. Despite his bluster, you know Tony will come around eventually. For now, though, you’re content to let him be the protective dad he’s always been—and the one Cora will always need, even if she doesn’t always admit it.

Dinner in the Stark household is usually a lively affair. The twins, Alex and Howard, are never short on energy or arguments, and Estelle has recently developed the habit of throwing pieces of food just to watch everyone scramble to pick them up. Tonight, however, the mood is slightly different. The absence of Cora, who is out on her date, has shifted the usual dynamic in a way the younger kids are starting to notice.

You and Tony exchange a glance as the boys settle into their seats at the dining table. Estelle, strapped into her high chair, babbles happily, banging her sippy cup against the tray. The smell of roasted chicken and mashed potatoes fills the air, but it seems the usual buzz of conversation is slow to start.

Alex takes a bite of his roll, looking around the table before finally asking, “Where’s Cora?”

Howard, sitting across from him, pauses with his fork halfway to his mouth. “Yeah, where is she? She’s always here for dinner.”

You open your mouth to answer, but Tony beats you to it. “Cora’s…uh, she’s out tonight.”

Howard frowns. “Out where?”

“She went to hang out with a friend,” you say gently, trying to gauge how much detail to give. The boys share a look, and you can see their wheels turning.

“A friend?” Alex repeats, suspicion lacing his voice. “What kind of friend? Like, a boyfriend friend?”

Tony visibly tenses, his grip tightening on his fork. “Who said anything about a boyfriend?” he asks a little too quickly, his tone defensive. “She’s just…hanging out.”

“Wait,” Howard says, eyes wide. “Does that mean she left us?”

You blink, startled. “No, of course not. She’s just out for a little while—”

But Howard doesn’t let you finish. His lower lip trembles, and he looks at Alex with a mix of confusion and panic. “Cora left! She’s not coming back!”

Alex gasps, dropping his roll onto his plate. “She left? Why would she do that? I thought she liked us!”

Tony sets his fork down and leans forward, trying to interject. “Guys, she didn’t leave. She’s just out—”

But the twins are already spiraling, their imaginations running wild. Alex’s face crumples, and he bursts into tears, burying his face in his hands. Howard follows suit, his sobs loud and dramatic. “She’s gone forever!” he wails, his voice breaking.

As if on cue, Estelle, who’s been watching the scene unfold with wide eyes, begins to cry as well. Her little face scrunches up, and she lets out a piercing wail, though you’re certain she has no idea what’s actually going on. She just knows her brothers are upset, and that’s enough to set her off.

You and Tony exchange a look of mild panic before springing into action. You reach for Estelle, unstrapping her from the high chair and pulling her into your arms. Tony gets up and crouches between the twins, one hand on each of their shoulders.

“Hey, hey, listen to me,” Tony says, his voice firm but kind. “Cora didn’t leave. She’s coming back. She’ll be home in a little while, okay?”

“But why isn’t she here now?” Alex sniffles, his face streaked with tears. “She’s always here!”

“She’s with a friend,” you explain again, bouncing Estelle on your hip to soothe her. “That’s all. She’ll be back later, I promise.”

Howard wipes his nose on his sleeve, still sniffling. “But what if she doesn’t come back?”

“She will,” Tony insists, his tone leaving no room for doubt. “Cora loves you guys. She’d never leave for good. Right, sweetheart?” He glances up at you for backup.

“Absolutely,” you say, brushing a hand through Estelle’s curls as her cries begin to taper off. “She’s just spending a little time with someone, but this is her home. She’ll always come back to us.”

Alex hiccups, his sobs slowing. “Are you sure?”

“I��m sure,” you say, leaning down to kiss the top of his head. “You’ll see her in the morning, and she’ll be the same Cora you know and love.”

Tony nods in agreement. “And she’ll probably complain about how annoying you guys are, just like she always does.”

That earns a small giggle from Alex, and Howard cracks a hesitant smile. Tony grins, ruffling their hair. “See? Everything’s fine.”

Estelle, still sniffling in your arms, mumbles something through her tears. “Cowa no go?”

“That’s right, baby,” you say softly, kissing her cheek. “Cora’s not going anywhere.”

The room slowly settles as the boys wipe their tears and Estelle leans her head against your shoulder, her little fingers gripping your shirt. Tony takes a seat again, shaking his head with a wry smile.

“Well,” he says, glancing at you, “that escalated quickly.”

“You think?” you reply, raising an eyebrow. “Maybe next time we should explain things before they jump to conclusions.”

“Good idea,” Tony agrees, reaching for his glass of water. “But hey, look at it this way—at least we know how much they love their sister.”

You laugh softly, setting Estelle back in her high chair now that she’s calmed down. “True. That was some pretty dramatic devotion.”

As the boys start eating again, their moods visibly improved, you and Tony exchange a quiet smile. It’s moments like these, chaotic as they are, that remind you just how close-knit your family is. Even when things get a little messy, the love you all share is undeniable—and that’s what matters most.

After the earlier chaos, dinner finally returns to something resembling normal, though the boys keep glancing toward the door like Cora might magically appear at any moment. Estelle is still glued to Tony’s chest, her little hands clutching at his shirt as he leans back in his chair. Despite her determination to stay awake, her eyes are fluttering shut, and every now and then she lets out a sleepy little hum.

Alex and Howard, however, are not going down so easily.

“What time is she coming back?” Alex asks for the tenth time, his voice laced with dramatic urgency.

“Her curfew is 10:30,” you remind him gently, nudging his plate of half-finished food toward him. “That’s still a couple of hours away.”

“But I wanna see her,” Howard says, stifling a yawn behind his hand. “What if she needs us?”

Tony raises an eyebrow. “What exactly is she going to need you for? Backup? Emotional support?”

“Maybe!” Alex retorts, glaring at him. “We’re her brothers! That’s our job!”

You snort, trying to hide your smile behind a sip of water. “That’s very sweet, but Cora is perfectly fine. You can see her in the morning.”

“No!” Alex says, shaking his head. “We’re staying up!”

“Yeah,” Howard agrees, crossing his arms. “We’ll wait for her!”

Tony sighs, rubbing a hand down his face. “Guys, listen. Staying up past your bedtime isn’t going to make her come home any faster. Plus, you’re already half-asleep.”

“No, we’re not!” Alex insists, his eyes drooping even as he speaks.

Estelle, as if sensing the conversation, stirs against Tony’s chest and mumbles, “Cowa?”

Tony looks down at her and grins. “No, kiddo, Cora’s not back yet. But let me tell you something—you’re not dating anyone until you’re thirty.”

“Thir-tee,” Estelle repeats in her toddler voice, her head bobbing as if she understands completely.

“Exactly,” Tony says, giving you a pointed look. “See? She agrees.”

You laugh softly, shaking your head. “You’re ridiculous.”

“It’s called being a responsible father,” he replies, pressing a kiss to Estelle’s curls. “And she’s got a strict no-boys-until-30 policy. Cora’s lucky I let her out of the house at all.”

“Tony,” you warn, though you’re smiling. “Let’s not scare the boys into thinking dating is a crime.”

“It’s not a crime,” he says dramatically. “It’s a privilege.”

The twins, who have been watching this exchange with growing amusement, giggle at their dad’s antics. Even Estelle lets out a soft little laugh, though it quickly turns into a sleepy sigh as she snuggles closer.

Time ticks by slowly as the boys fight to keep their eyes open. You’re certain they’re on the verge of passing out when the familiar sound of the front door unlocking makes everyone sit up straight.

“She’s back!” Alex shouts, scrambling off his chair.

Howard follows suit, practically tripping over his own feet in his rush to reach the door. Even Estelle perks up, her tiny hands clutching Tony’s collar as she twists around to look.

“Cora!” Alex and Howard yell in unison, flinging the door open just as Cora steps inside. She barely has time to hang up her jacket before the twins tackle her in a bear hug.

“Whoa, whoa!” Cora laughs, stumbling back a step. “What’s going on?”

“We thought you left us!” Alex wails, clinging to her.

“Forever!” Howard adds, his voice muffled against her sweater.

Cora blinks, clearly taken aback. “What? Why would you think that?”

“They thought you weren’t coming back because you were out late,” you explain, leaning against the doorway with a smile. “We told them you’d be back, but they’ve been in full-on drama mode all night.”

“Aww,” Cora says, crouching down to hug the boys properly. “I’d never leave you guys. You know that, right?”

Alex sniffles, nodding, while Howard wipes his nose on his sleeve.

“Okay,” Cora says, pulling back and ruffling their hair. “Now go to bed, you little maniacs. You’re supposed to be asleep by now.”

“No!” Alex protests, though his voice lacks conviction.

“Yes,” you say firmly, stepping forward to herd them toward the stairs. “You’ve stayed up long enough. Cora will still be here in the morning, I promise.”

“But—” Howard starts to argue, only to be cut off by a pointed look from you. He huffs but doesn’t resist as you guide them upstairs, Tony following with Estelle still clinging to him like a koala.

By the time the boys are settled and Estelle is tucked into her crib, you and Tony make your way back downstairs to find Cora sprawled on the couch, scrolling through her phone.

“So,” Tony says, dropping onto the armchair across from her. “How was it?”

Cora glances up, her cheeks flushing slightly. “It was fine.”

“Fine?” Tony echoes, raising an eyebrow. “You’re going to need to be more specific than that.”

“Dad,” she groans, rolling her eyes.

“Come on,” you say, sitting beside her and nudging her gently. “We want details. Where did you go? What did you do?”

Cora hesitates for a moment before sighing and setting her phone aside. “Okay, fine. We went to that little Italian place downtown—you know, the one with the string lights in the back? It was really nice. And then we walked around for a bit, just talking.”

“Talking about what?” Tony asks, leaning forward like he’s interrogating a witness.

“Stuff,” Cora says vaguely.

“Stuff?” Tony repeats, unimpressed.

You shoot him a look. “Tony.”

“What? I’m just asking.”

Cora smirks, clearly enjoying her dad’s frustration. “Okay, we talked about school, movies, music—normal things. And he was really sweet, okay? He held the door for me, pulled out my chair, all that stuff.”

Tony narrows his eyes. “Did he try anything?”

“Dad!” Cora exclaims, her face turning red. “No! He’s not like that.”

“I’m just checking,” Tony says, holding up his hands defensively. “It’s my job to ask these things.”

Cora groans, burying her face in her hands. “Why do I even tell you anything?”

“Because you love us,” you say with a smile, wrapping an arm around her shoulders. “And we love you, even if your dad is a little overbearing.”

“A little?” Cora mutters, though there’s a small smile tugging at her lips.

Tony grins, leaning back in his chair. “Fine, fine. I’ll back off—for now. But if this Ryan kid hurts you, I’m not holding back.”

Cora laughs, shaking her head. “Noted.”

As the conversation drifts into lighter topics, you can’t help but feel a sense of pride. Watching Cora grow into her own person, even with all the ups and downs, is one of the most rewarding parts of being her parent. And while Tony might never stop being the protective dad, you know he feels the same way.

The private beach in Miami is the perfect summer retreat, with golden sands, turquoise waters, and plenty of shade from tall palms. It’s the kind of luxurious getaway only Tony Stark could casually arrange for his family. The kids are in paradise—Estelle’s tiny footprints dot the sand near the shallow water, Alex and Howard are waging an epic sandcastle-building contest, and Cora, well…Cora’s been on her phone more than in the water.

It doesn’t go unnoticed.

“Cora, come help us dig this moat!” Alex calls, waving a plastic shovel in her direction.

She looks up from her lounge chair, sunglasses perched on her head. “I told you guys, I’m not a fan of sand.”

“You used to like sand,” Howard points out, narrowing his eyes.

“Yeah, when I was, like, seven,” Cora replies with a grin. “I’ll cheer you on from here.”

The twins share a look of disappointment but seem to accept her answer—for now. You, seated under an umbrella with Estelle perched on your lap, can’t help but notice the wistful looks they shoot at their sister every so often. They’re trying not to show it, but they miss her being their partner-in-crime.

Tony strolls over with a fresh drink in hand, surveying the scene with a satisfied grin. “Not bad, huh? Sun, sand, and no paparazzi. Perfect family vacation.”

“Perfect except for the fact that Cora’s more interested in her phone than her brothers,” you tease, nudging him with your elbow.

“Teenagers,” Tony says with an exaggerated sigh. “What can you do?”

You’re about to reply when Cora stands up suddenly, slipping her phone into her bag. “I’m gonna go for a walk,” she announces casually.

“A walk?” Tony asks, raising an eyebrow. “Since when do you just…walk?”

“Since I feel like it,” she replies, grabbing her sandals and brushing off her shorts. “Don’t worry, I’ll stay close.”

“Uh-huh,” Tony mutters, clearly suspicious, but he lets it go as she wanders down the beach.

The twins, however, aren’t so easily distracted. They watch her closely, their expressions growing more curious—and then downright alarmed—as they see her stop several yards away to talk to someone.

“Is that…?” Alex starts, squinting.

“It’s a boy,” Howard says, his voice filled with betrayal.

You sigh, already guessing who it is. “It’s probably Ryan,” you say, pulling out your phone to send Cora a quick text.

Cora, bring Ryan over to meet us. Don’t make me come over there.

She reads the text immediately—you can tell because she whips around to look at you, her face a mix of disbelief and irritation. You wave at her with a cheerful smile, and she groans audibly, even from that distance.

A few moments later, she trudges back with Ryan in tow, her shoulders hunched as if she’s preparing for the worst. Ryan, to his credit, looks polite but a little nervous, his hands stuffed into the pockets of his swim trunks.

“Everyone, this is Ryan,” Cora says quickly, gesturing toward him. “Ryan, this is…well, everyone.”

“Hi,” Ryan says, offering a small wave.

Tony doesn’t even try to hide his once-over, his eyes narrowing slightly. “Ryan,” he repeats slowly. “You’re the guy my daughter’s been sneaking off to see all summer.”

“Dad!” Cora hisses, her face turning bright red.

“What? Just making an observation,” Tony says innocently, though his gaze doesn’t leave Ryan.

You elbow him lightly. “Tony.”

“I’m just getting a read on the guy!” he protests, holding up his hands.

Ryan shifts awkwardly, clearly unsure how to respond. Before anyone can say anything else, the twins barrel toward him, their faces a mix of curiosity and distrust.

“You’re Ryan?” Alex asks, crossing his arms.

“You’re the reason Cora doesn’t hang out with us anymore?” Howard adds, his tone accusatory.

“Guys,” you say sharply, shooting them a warning look.

“It’s okay,” Ryan says, surprising you. He crouches slightly to meet the twins’ level, giving them a small smile. “I get it. You’re mad because you miss your sister, right?”

The boys exchange a glance, clearly caught off guard by his straightforwardness.

“Well…yeah,” Alex admits reluctantly.

“She’s pretty cool,” Ryan says, glancing at Cora, who looks like she wants to disappear into the sand. “I’d miss her too if she stopped hanging out with me.”

Howard narrows his eyes. “Are you just saying that because you like her?”

“Maybe,” Ryan replies with a grin.

Tony lets out a loud cough that sounds suspiciously like “too smooth,” and you quickly step in to diffuse the tension.

“Okay, let’s give Ryan a break,” you say, placing a hand on Howard’s shoulder. “Why don’t you guys go finish your sandcastle? I bet Ryan will come check it out when you’re done.”

The twins consider this for a moment before nodding and running off, already bickering about who’s in charge of the design.

“Thank you,” Cora mutters to you, her voice barely audible.

“Don’t thank me yet,” you whisper back, glancing at Tony, who’s watching Ryan like a hawk.

“So, Ryan,” Tony says, crossing his arms. “What do you do for fun? Besides stealing my daughter’s attention, of course.”

“Tony,” you warn, giving him a pointed look.

Ryan, to his credit, doesn’t seem fazed. “I play basketball, and I’m on the robotics team at school,” he says.

“Robotics, huh?” Tony says, his interest piqued despite himself. “What kind of projects are you working on?”

Cora groans. “Oh my God, please don’t turn this into a Stark Tech interview.”

“It’s not an interview!” Tony protests, though he does seem a little smug. “Just a casual conversation.”

As Tony and Ryan dive into a surprisingly technical discussion about robotics, you notice Estelle wandering dangerously close to the water without her floater.

“Estelle!” you call, rushing over to scoop her up before she can get too far.

“Swim!” she protests, squirming in your arms.

“Not without your floaties,” you say firmly, carrying her back to the umbrella.

By the time you return, Tony has managed to shift the conversation to Ryan’s plans for the future, and Cora is glaring daggers at him.

“Dad, seriously, can you chill?” she says.

“I’m just making sure the kid has a plan,” Tony says with a shrug.

You roll your eyes, setting Estelle down with her toys. “Tony, why don’t you let Ryan breathe for a minute? You’ve already grilled him enough for one day.”

Ryan gives you a grateful look, and Cora mouths a silent “thank you” as well.

Despite the chaos, the afternoon ends on a surprisingly pleasant note. The twins begrudgingly admit that Ryan isn’t that bad, Estelle decides he’s fun enough to share her toys with, and even Tony seems to soften a little—though he’s still keeping a close eye on him.

As you pack up to head back to the house, Cora pulls you aside and hugs you tightly. “Thanks for not letting Dad scare him off,” she whispers.

“Anytime,” you reply with a smile. “But you owe me one.”

She laughs, and for a moment, you catch a glimpse of the little girl she used to be—before boys and dates and teenage independence came into the picture.

One sunny afternoon, a few months after the beach encounter, Cora sits you and Tony down in the living room. She’s practically vibrating with excitement, her cheeks glowing, and a smile that she can’t contain. The twins are peeking from the doorway, their curiosity barely hidden, and Estelle is perched on Tony’s lap, lazily playing with a strand of his hair.

“Okay, so…” Cora starts, tucking a stray piece of hair behind her ear. “I have something to tell you.”

Tony raises an eyebrow, his dad-radar clearly activated. “This better not end with me needing to interrogate someone.”

“Tony,” you chide lightly, giving Cora an encouraging nod. “Go ahead, sweetheart.”

Cora takes a deep breath, then blurts out, “Ryan asked me to be his girlfriend, and I said yes!”

The room goes quiet for a beat, the weight of the announcement settling over everyone. Then Tony sits up straighter, his expression unreadable.

“Girlfriend, huh?” he says, his voice carefully neutral. “Isn’t that…serious?”

“It’s not like we’re getting married, Dad,” Cora retorts, rolling her eyes. “But yeah, it’s serious. And I’m really happy.”

You can’t help but smile at the way her face lights up. “That’s wonderful, honey. If he makes you happy, we’re happy for you.”

“Speak for yourself,” Tony mutters, earning a light slap on the arm from you.

“Dad!” Cora protests.

“Fine, fine,” Tony relents, raising his hands in mock surrender. “I’ll hold off on the interrogation—for now. But you’d better believe there are going to be rules if this kid is coming around here.”

“Speaking of which,” Cora says, hesitating. “I was thinking…maybe we could invite him over for dinner sometime?”

Tony’s eyes narrow slightly. “Under my roof? Bold move.”

“Tony,” you say firmly. “That sounds like a great idea, Cora. But yes, there will be rules.”

“Rules?” Cora repeats, looking wary.

Tony leans back in his chair, clearly in his element. “Rule number one: the door to your room stays open at all times.”

“Dad!”

“Non-negotiable,” he says with a smirk. “Rule number two: no sitting too close on the couch. I have a very sensitive dad radar, and it will go off if I sense funny business.”

“Tony, stop,” you say, trying not to laugh.

“And rule number three,” Tony continues, ignoring you, “he’s got to pass the Stark Interview.”

“Interview?” Cora asks, her voice dripping with disbelief.

“Oh, you’ll see,” Tony says, his grin widening.

Fast forward to the big day, and the house is abuzz with activity. Cora is a bundle of nerves, alternating between fixing her hair and pacing the living room. You’re trying to keep the twins occupied with a board game, but their curiosity keeps pulling them toward the front door.

“When’s he getting here?” Alex asks for the tenth time, craning his neck toward the window.

“Soon,” you reply patiently, moving a piece on the board. “And you two are staying out of it.”

Howard frowns. “But what if he’s weird?”

“Then your dad will take care of it,” you say with a smile, glancing at Tony, who is polishing a pair of sunglasses with an unnecessary level of intensity.

When the doorbell finally rings, Cora practically flies to the door, only for Tony to intercept her.

“Hold it,” he says, putting a hand on her shoulder. “I’ll get it.”

“Dad!” she protests, but he’s already opening the door.

Ryan stands on the porch, looking slightly nervous but polite as ever. He’s holding a small bouquet of flowers, which earns him a few points in your book.

“Mr. Stark,” Ryan says, offering his hand.

Tony looks at the hand for a long moment before finally shaking it. “Ryan. Come on in.”

Ryan steps inside, and his eyes immediately land on Cora, who gives him a shy smile. Tony clears his throat loudly, drawing Ryan’s attention back to him.

“Let’s have a little chat,” Tony says, leading Ryan toward the kitchen.

“Mom!” Cora whispers urgently, turning to you.

“It’ll be fine,” you assure her, though you’re already preparing to intervene if necessary.

In the kitchen, Tony leans against the counter, arms crossed. “So, Ryan. What’s your deal?”

“My deal?” Ryan repeats, looking confused.

“You know, your intentions with my daughter, your plans for the future, your stance on pineapple on pizza—the important stuff,” Tony says, his tone deceptively casual.

“Uh, well, I really like Cora,” Ryan says earnestly. “She’s smart and funny and amazing, and I just want to make her happy.”

Tony narrows his eyes, clearly trying to detect any sign of dishonesty. “And the pizza?”

“No pineapple,” Ryan replies without hesitation.

Tony nods approvingly. “Good answer. You’re off to a decent start.”

By the time you step in to check on them, Tony seems to have relaxed—slightly.

“All right, you pass,” Tony says grudgingly. “But remember, I’m watching you.”

Ryan looks relieved as he follows you back to the living room, where Cora is waiting anxiously.

“What did he say?” she asks, looking between the two of you.

“He’s still alive, isn’t he?” Tony says, smirking.

“Dad!”

“He’s fine,” you assure her, guiding the twins toward the backyard before they can pounce on Ryan with their questions. “Why don’t you two go hang out in the den? And remember the open door rule.”

“Yes, yes, we know,” Cora says, rolling her eyes.

You spend the next couple of hours keeping the twins entertained, stopping Estelle from climbing onto every piece of furniture she can find, and keeping Tony distracted enough to prevent him from “checking in” on Cora and Ryan every five minutes.

When Ryan finally leaves, he thanks you and Tony for having him and promises to text Cora when he gets home.

After the door closes, Tony sighs and sits down on the couch. “Okay, I’ll admit it. He’s not the worst.”

“High praise,” you tease, sitting beside him.

“Don’t push it,” he says with a grin, wrapping an arm around your shoulders.

Upstairs, you hear Cora talking excitedly to someone on the phone—probably a friend, recounting the whole day. It’s clear she’s happy, and as much as Tony might grumble about it, you know he’s happy for her too.

OMG SANCUARYYYSJDHH!!$) !!<3

My ranking so far 🤭:

1. DANGER - HOLY SHIT BRO SO FUCKING GOODNSJDN THE BASS? THE RAP? yummy yummy yummy my fav song ITS SO GROOVY. WHEN YEONJUN SAID TOMORROW BY TOGETHER AT THE START ?OMG MOANING. I love the part when, idk what they were saying but the melody in the part ‘something korean, so obsessed’ like I like how it’s a little minor and descends idk how to explain. txt are so good at r&b we love you beomgyu for being the main lyricist on this, he ate it up (the lyrics ‘deeper into me?’ What was…that beomgyu? 🤔🤔🧐…) also I love the little short backing vocal interjections in the pre chorus that ascend and descend they bless my ears

2. Over the moon - over the moon is so good! I love the little sparkles you can hear in the background at the start of the verses it’s so pretty, and I love the ethereal like intro, BEOMGYU STARTING AGAINSJDHD !, bass is good in this and I love the backing vocals they’re so heavenly and the harmonies make me float. Also I just love the lyrics to this song, they’re so pretty and so good for a love song like they’re actually so romantic but not in a cringe way WORD PAINTING TOO ! The over the moooonn over the starrrsss part is so pretty I love soobins falsetto. And also I love the call and response like parts with sookai and taegyu 😩😩 BUT ☹️! Icl I was slightly underwhelmed listening to it the first time, I think I hyped it up too much and the teaser kind of gave away the whole song 😭 it’s way too short 👎 I really wanted some new material, instrumental section maybe, a bridge but it’s lowkey just verse chorus, verse chorus, end. I think there was way more they could have done with this song bc it’s so good IF THEY ADDED JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE IT COULD HAVE BEEN AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE but even without i really love this song so much

3. Forty one winks- INCOMING !!🗣️ chill like r&b, I knew i would love this song !! Sounds like it would have been on the freeze album. This song is very fun and I will be listening to this all the time to make me happy it’s very feel good !! You can kind of hear this little sparkley like thing in the keys sometimes in the background like in over the moon and I love that. I love the adlibs for this song too !! Ooh and the strings in the outro !! Love that

4. Heaven- cute and fun!! I really loved this song more than I expected I would, I love the verses and melodies in the verses 😭😭

5. Resist - resist being this low seems criminal but every single song was too good tbh idk whether to put this is as 4 or 5 or 3 😭. I knew I was going to love this song but omg I didn’t expect the genre! After the beat kicks in it really changes but it’s toooo good I love the guitar chords in the verses at the start of every bar ? and the guitar in the intro and I love the high notes in this song. I love how txt do different styles and genres AND PULL IT OFF they make kpop so fun for me 😭😭😩 plus I just like the rhythms in this song

6. Higher than heaven— I really liked this song more than I expected bc icl I was not much of an early 2010s pop boy band fan back then but I love that txt did that they really suit it. I really love the melodies in the verses so much and even the chorus is fine for me. But I really don’t like when they sing HIGH. HIGH. HIGHHHHH !, that part really kinda annoys my brain sm like it’s kind of so jarring to me 😭😭 I’m sorry it hurts my ears a little but other than that THE SONG IS SO GOOD I LOVE EVERY OTHER PART BESIDES THAT 😭😭 THE BRIDGE WITH KAI AND TAEHYUN IS SO ETHEREAL TOO AND THE BACKING VOCALSSJJDHD!! it’s just that one part for me personally 😭😭

1. Kiyuu really wanted to go too, but she came down with a cold! Maybe I could bring her back some food, if they allow it. 2. I finished my whole outfit just last night, but I think it’s worth it! I really love dressing up for these types of occasions. 3. The music here makes me feel right at home! As if I know what that even means. Well, it’s the thought that counts!

Home, After Login: The wind is getting colder… Are you sure they haven’t started yet?

Tap Home:

1. Everyone looks amazing! I’d like to go up and compliment some people, but I’m a little nervous. What if they get mad and punch me in the face?! 2. All those flowers look delicious… Do you think I could pluck a few—I’d get banned?! What makes you say that?! 3. Jack was planning on going in just a plain old T-shirt and shorts, so Kiyuu and I had to drag him into the sewing room to decide on something. Luckily I had a little extra fabric lying around… 4. It’s gonna get a lot colder from here on out. Do you think Kiyuu will hold up alright? I don’t really know how her immune system works, but it looks like it doesn’t. Cynthia will be taking care of her while Jack and I are away, but I can’t help but worry. 5. I’ve lost every single game I played here… I hope no one’s keeping score. Hey, I swear I’m not doing it on purpose!... Seventy five percent of the time. It’s just that the others look so excited to get some of the prizes, so I don’t want to decrease their chances, you know?

[raven-at-the-writing-desk]

I did it! It turned out delicious and I managed to get really good pictures with my Leona merch, the meat cake and suculenta, I’m so happy that it all went well! While I was singing happy birthday to him I could clearly hear Leona’s voice in my head complaining that I’m too loud haha. The Leona’s birthday saga comes to an end! (It had enough plot to become a twisted event), and his new card looks stunning, I had a heart attack

The saga: [ Cake I / Cake II / Flowers / Baking ]

Yaaay, glad it went well! I’m sure he at least appreciated the meat (he had to sit through the singing before he could dig in www).

Related, here’s a picture from my own L*ona birthday celebration:

The buns have shiitake mushrooms (ie Fake/Substitute Meat) and cucumbers (a vegetable… which L*ona hates) 😂 And that acrylic is the only solo official L*ona merch I own (shoutout to the friend who gifted it to me against my will 💀). Sorry to do this to you, but I care about your health, L*ona-san…

And now, let’s talk about the Groovy!

I already shared my general thoughts on his Platinum Jacket Groovy in this post, but I can expand! It’s the kind of illustration I think Leona fans would like b-but I wouldn’t know, because I’m NOT one 😤. He’s giving off a very confident air, with his arms crossed accentuating his slim waist and the positioning of his hair and tail implying he is aggressively turning as he’s sneering at his target. It has this… indescribable elegance to it. There is no big sweeping, grand movement or flashy pose. Just a natural lazy charm to how he holds himself, a subtlety that’s difficult to replicate.

I think the best part is definitely his eyes. They always have this glow-in-the-dark quality about them that really shines when paired with dim lighting like what is shown in the museum. You’ll notice that the eyes also are not entirely symmetrical; the right is slightly more narrowed and that adds to his unhinged look.

… And I’m sure some of y’all are also appreciating the teeth (how Trey of you). It’s rare to see Leona smile this wide in cards. He’s usually smirking and not baring his fangs like he is here. In that sense, this is a novel look for him.

The composition implies Leona is directing his ire at the happy family in the painting, but my brain went somewhere completely different and thought he was looking at someone on the floor????? Like, at his feet???? Like bowing or kneeling to him, begging for mercy or something 😭 SORRy, IDk WHY i DEFAuLTED TO THAT…

But yeah!! Good food for Leona stans ^^

[kindred-spirit-93]

penelope (or how the odyssey was really written)

the title do be giving ao3 lol. wasnt at all what i was expecting! had me cackling in places & clutching my pearls in others XD

being only 23 songs its pretty quick paced and gives you mere glimpses into penelopes perspective more than anything, but all in all very groovy and enjoyable (thoughts below and ofc spoilers lol)

love the prologue! stronk start :]

prayed very hard this wasnt going to take the direction i thought it was and it didnt thank god.

BARBERSHOP QUARTET SUITORS SENT MEEEEEE

its so funny omg, same vibes as the tavern folk from rapunzel :D

gagged a little tho theyre very delulu, almost as bad as paris lol

shes gonna be miiiiiiiiiiiiiine

the note pen hits at: not this hero that i dont know made me *ascend* (theres a point or two btw where it gets a little suggestive)

WHO TF IS DAPHNE

me @ antinuous: sang it girlfriend!!!!!! giggling so hard wtf

simba walked so antinuos could run fr, when im king is a bop lol

NOT THE ANTICLEA JUMPSCARE :')))))

telemachus being eager to smash the skulls of the suitors fearing the sight of blood above all is so funny to me. poor tele XD

it took me 8 songs to realise that this was a somewhat modern setting lol, selfie with the oracle of delphi caught me so off guard

THE ODY AND TELE BONDING WE ALL DESERVED!!!!

hilarious actually really enjoyed their dynamic (we need a plan)

ody had it coming to him. get his ass penelope

a cappella suitors have my heart lol

NOT THE BEE GEES REFERENCE AHAHAH

greek tragedy joke was a little on the nose lol

i love love love the idea that penelope just swam off (naiad muffin hell yeah) and ody swam after her, which if u take into consideration the trauma of 10 years at sea its a pretty significant gesture i think

LAST NOTE IS MAJESTIC AAAAAAAA

--

idk its a very interesting twist on the narration and in all fairness far too short to really flesh anyone out, but for a penelope centric musical i was expecting something something a little more?

went to look the musical up and read a little more about it and found this gem. forget everything i said this renaissance painting suffices:

THE EMO, THE GIRLYPOP, ANTICLEA JUMPSCARE II. ITS PERFECT

--

oh and also tiresias ate and left no crumbs lmao, all i could think of was a cover is not the book- esque performance so i had to draw it lol (sorry its awful)

its the letter from hell song, at 03:20 . do yall see the vision?

bonus emo tiresias, hes supposed to be wearing pomegrante themed accessories idk how obvious that is lol. eh enjoy :D

[caramelmochacrow]

No because World Etude being more reminiscent of Crinoid (their most hopeful song) and Ultramarino Flor Seca instead of Nirvana and Prayer[s] is a huge sign that World Etude is a song about hope rather than despair, it's light after the darkness, the calm after the storm.

I should really stop listening to World Etude huh

[iwasakisena]
