moonlight and her cookies of darkness au

explanations under the cut (tw murder, comas, hallucinations, comatose bodies as fertilizer)

cream puff: after being expelled from the academy, she turned to dark magic to prove herself a formidable wizard. now she's knowledge-hungry to the point of destroying schools to access their teachings. nothing will stop her from becoming more and more powerful. she's feared as one of the three magicians of calamity.

alchemist: seeing as she was already proficient in alchemy, she began to perform more and more risky transmutations, claiming it was all for science. she ended up killing her brother in the process, causing her to snap and commit crimes against humanity in an attempt to find a way to bring him back. she won't stop at anything until she does. she's feared as one of the three magicians of calamity, though she despises the title, insisting she's an alchemist, not a magician.

wizard: similar to cream puff, he wants to know everything there is to know. the only difference is that he doesn't want it for the sake of power, but rather just to fulfill his own tormenting curiosity. to this end, he often accompanies cream puff on her journeys. he's not willing to take lives himself for knowledge, but he will take advantage of other people's actions in order to further his need for it. he's feared as one of the three magicians of calamity.

snow sugar: they'll do anything to make friends, even coat the entire land in endless snow. if anyone refuses to be their friend, they'll be turned to ice. though even if they do accept, they'll still be frozen solid. snow sugar just wants to be friends with everyone forever, and their black rabbits want that just as badly, spurring them on.

moonlight: her goal is to send all of earthbread into an eternal sleep, all so that they don't have to ever experience any pain. to this end, she'll do anything. those who go against her are sent into deep comas. she doesn't even consider that living a perfect dream while your body wastes away could be adverse to anyone.

werewolf: hates the monster he is to the point that he's accepted it's all he'll ever be. heavily believes in moonlight's goal, since he can't harm anyone in his dreams, and nobody can be harmed by him in theirs. feels that this is the only way to truly keep everyone and everything safe and at peace.

cherry blossom: all she wants is to have fun and drink tea with everyone, even if it means that they slowly lose their minds from her flowers' hallucinatory pollen. she's also very picky about etiquette, so she frequently sends people to sleep during tea parties when they don't act the way they're supposed to.

wind archer: moonlight's right hand man. he'll do anything to purify the world from evil, even get his own hands dirty. he believes that moonlight's dream of eternal sleep is the only way to get rid of all evil for good.

herb: there's nothing he cares about more than his plants. cookies make wonderful food for them, especially when the cookies are comatose and slowly used as fertilizer.

Ok this might be an unpopular opinion but someones gotta say it...

Cassandra is a better Casey Jones than Casey Jr

Ive gotta be honest... i think casey jr is a kinda mid and i dont particularly think all the fanfare about him is warranted LOL

I want to note real quick that i dont DISLIKE him! He is a good character who only got as much development that a 2 hour movie could give him, and he filled and satisfied the role he needed to play in the movie, but the way the fandom latched onto him over the og casey... kinda makes me raise a brow

(Essay/rant about the prioritization of casey jr vs og casey under the cut :P)

Fandom spaces love a traumatized boy from the future, and believe me i do too! But the amount of attention given to casey jr after being revealed as casey is a wild amount compared to the amount of attention the original casey gets. Maybe its just me getting into rottmnt after the movie aired, but this seems a little baised?

Not only that, but the amount of... idk the best way i can think to describe it is infantilization of casey jrs character isnt helping my opinion of him. It feels like most content surrounding him babify him and reduce him only to his trauma post movie. I understand that it can be interesting to explore his trauma now that he no longer lives in the literal apocalypse, but it feels strange to see him reduced to someone who cant get around on his own and lives with the turtles when the original pitch for the movies ending has him leave to explore the world, which i feel is very appropriate for him and wish they had kept it in

In the movie when april shows us where the og casey has been and what shes been doing throughout the film, it tells us that casey is friends april which in theory, shouldve also shown us that she and the turtles are friends to some degree as well and should already have her place established within the group as this generations casey jones

However the final shot of the movie is a group shot of the family+casey jr, which subtlety implies that he's the new casey instead, and that this is the main cast moving forward (should it move forward *sob*). While both caseys being considered in the main cast could be true, it does strike me as a little odd that this was the final direction the rot team decided on for the official ending versus the scrapped ending, especially because it complicates the pre-established canon. It wouldve been one thing if our og casey was a different character, but that isnt the case.. y... (<_<)

Casey jr is an interesting character though! And i can understand why he appeals to fans, especially as his character post movie is fun to expand on aswell as developing his past involved with future versions of the main5, but one (me lol) could argue that the og casey is just as interesting of a character to delve into as she was involved, when you boil it down, a cult most of her life, and that concept, as well as the guilt she could hold for working with the foot and releasing the shredder, ontop of trying to befriend and gain the turtles and aprils trust are also intriguing concepts that could be explored, yet finding content that mentions her at all beyond her relation to casey jr is scarce

It feels as though shes been reduced to a background character within the fandom despite being a reoccuring character for the entire show.

For the two seasons of rottmnt that we did get, we are shown just what kind of character casey is and her possible dynamics with the turtles+april. Shes passionate and powerful and beyond determined to prove her worth and reach her goals. Shes also playful and reckless, a side that fits well with the main cast and their humor and, if the show was given more time, couldve developed naturally as the newest addition to the family as most caseys are. I could also argue that her characterization fits that of previous caseys more than casey jrs does (though i will admit that considering the plot of the movie, i cant positively say what hed be like outside of life or death scenarios, but i also cant imagine hes going to make a 180 in personality without it feeling jarring and ooc)

Now, i wont ignore the fact that her arc was cut horribly short and her involvement in the movie was quite literally a brief mention, both of which definitely play into how under appreciated she is. But at the same time it almost feels like everyone, including the show runners, have willingly pushed her aside for this new boy version to fill the role of casey jones. Hell, even when you look up rottmnt casey jones, cassandra barely shows up. Its casey jr which further proves my point

Idk, TLDR im pretty disappointed that despite being a consistent character for the entire show, no one seems to write or acknowledge her and if she is mentioned, its only relevant to push forward casey jrs character development or a brief cameo. As much as i do love casey jr (i can feel like hes mid and i can like him!) it seems like most people forget about the original casey, or favor casey jr in her place and she deserves more love and credit than shes given!

Little Monster Q&A + author fun facts !!

hello new followers and fans of Little Monster. first of all, i just have to thank everyone for the crazy support ive been getting as of late. thank you everyone. every like, comment, and reblog just pushes me to keep writing, even when it feels like every word i write is garbage.

so i decided to make this little special! idk if anyone will be super interested, so ill put all the stuff under the cut, but i also wanted to add this little drawing i did of terzomega as like extra content. if you arent interested, thanks anyway and enjoy the art!

—

to everyone who stayed, i have no idea why you’re interested, but thanks lmfao. this shit will be long.

Questions

Is your most recent oneshot about the mirror related at all to Little Monster? (from @ofthemorningstars)

i'm glad you noticed that !! in The Mirror, i very purposefully left two hints at the end of the fic to indicate its connection to Little Monster, which was the taco ring reference and Terzo's use of "mostriciatto". to me, mostriciatto will always be the Little Monster version of terzomega. no matter when i finish that fic or if i write more fics after, i will never again use mostriciatto unless im purposefully writing these versions of terzomega. i havent seen anyone else use it (i hope they dont), so i like to imagine this can be forever my impact on terzomega fics lmao. anyway, the purpose of me leaving those references isnt necessarily to say, "this is a future scene of little monster" bc it isnt exactly that (while i have plans that line up with this oneshot, i cannot anticipate that everything will fit perfectly by the time we get there in the canon). the purpose of doing that was to show u cuties that yes, terzo and omega will eventually have a better relationship, and i will be extending this timeline into papa terzo era. just a fun little teaser for my more observant fans.

also, fun fact about how i came up with that pet name. i was writing the first part of Little Monster (that part is now titled Spilled Wine as featured on my Ao3) and i knew i wanted to give terzo an affinity for using pet names, but i didn't know quite which ones to use. i didn't want to be boring, so i googled some. i have no idea where, but i found mostriciatto, meaning, of course, "little monster." i had yet to even really start writing it, but i knew i wanted it to be DARK with a very unhinged omega, so i thought, perfect. ill talk a bit more about the writing of part one later on

2. How many parts do you currently anticipate writing? Do you have a set ending point, or will this perhaps be an ongoing project for the foreseeable future? (from @ofthemorningstars)

i have 12 major plot points (including the first five parts i have written) that loosely translate into parts. this could mean 12 parts, or it could be more depending on what i write. i kinda plan on expanding this to 18 (6 parts per “era” or “act” [you’ll see what i mean]) though i dont quite have a set ending yet, so really its up in the air. i am, however, planning on having a definitive ending, ergo not an endless project. from there there may be some oneshots in this universe, but they will have an ending.

3. In the first part of little monster you put a disclaimer with something along the lines of "if you're expecting comfort I'm sorry to disappoint". The angst is MWAH but do you like plan on giving Terzo like any sort of comfort or happiness?? (from anon)

before i begin rambling, here's your answer: there will be hope and good times as mentioned above, and you might have even picked up on that in part 5. i may have wrote a fucked up versions of terzomega but whats a good story without character growth?? i havent determined the direction of the ending, but rest assured, if it all burns down, they will hold each other close (for the minute it takes).

but also.... funny story about that disclaimer....

soo i wanted to write ghost fanfic to impress my friend who is a VERY avid member of this community. however, i failed to realize they DO NOT like angst without love and care and fluff, so after i showed it to them, buddy did not like it. i took that as a sign that maybe this shit was a little TOO dark.

but my god, i could not stop thinking about it, as the caption said, and i dont always feel that away about what i write. i had recently started to post semi often to tumblr, and i just thought. well, theres gotta be someone else as fucked up as me, and i posted that shit. that disclaimer was a result of taking my friends reaction seriously and realizing that i needed to make it VERY clear that this fic is NOT for everyone. there was a different og caption that was longer and more grave, but i cut it down for aesthetics bc little monster has already seen more success than i ever anticipated.

4. What is your favorite ghost album, and what song introduced you to ghost? (from anon) & Favorite ghost song (or songs) (from @ask-enso-ghoul)

my favorite album is Infestissumam!!! the vibes of the album are so fucking immaculate, even if terzo is my favorite papa.

of course, of course, the first song i ever heard from ghost was Mary on a Cross. it blew up when it did and i loved it. the second song that really made me start getting into ghsot was square hammer, which will secretly also be my favorite ghost song but ive heard it so many times i have to give it now to the future is a foreign land. some of my other fave songs are jigolo, respite, body and blood, faith, twenties, and year zero (there’s just so many)

i want to take a second to say my least favorite album though, which is opus eponymous, or as i call it, pope pussy. it’s ok. it’s just ok. mk. i’m not a fan of that sound. the best song on there is genesis. I FUCKING SAID IT—

5. how do you get into the zone of writing smut-? I’m trying to get into it but it sounds cheesy when I do, so do you do something specific? (from anon)

im gonna level with you. i have been writing for almost a decade, since i was 12, and the first thing i started writing was smut. sex has always been a HUGE creative force for my writing and art in general. as stupid as it sounds, writing smut to me is more than just that. its my art. its my greatest and most inspirational subject. i love being creative with it, bending it to the niches and intricacies of the duo im writing, just playing with it as a medium of expression, of storytelling, of how DEEP it can be.

that being said, one of the easiest ways to get into the zone of smut specifically is being horny ! you imagine your pairing doing some illicit bedroom activity and you pick them up liek dolls and smush their faces together ! let it be fun, and let it be yours. dont write it to please the kinks of your audience, write it to your own taste and enjoyment.

as far as it being cheesy, yeah, it will feel that way. the most important thing is to be confident with your language and don’t shy away from calling a dick a dick, a pussy a pussy, an ass an ass. it feels stupid, but it will read worse if you make up artsy names for them every other line. don’t be afraid to be descriptive either, because that’s what the people want to see, trust me.

apologies if that was unhelpful, ive just been writing smut so long i can hardly tell you how i do it. im jsut super passionate about it and it fuels me creatively….. can u tell lol

6. Favorite work you’ve ever done? (from anon)

so.... ive written many things and that depends. its definitely not anything ive posted on here.

i think my favorite "serious" work is a short story i wrote for a creative writing class, called Abel and Sally. it was an modern inversion of the bible story of abraham and sarah, with a really dark ending (i love to shit on catholicism)

the other work that comes to mind is the first story i wrote about my oc anson, called Anson's Prison. that is something i would potentially post on here, its pretty short but its a good one. its oc content, tho, so i doubt many ppl would be interested lel.

8. will you draw more drawing for your stories in the future? (from anon)

well. heres my thing with art.

ive been drawing as long as ive been writing. but im not an artist; i never learned ANYTHING beyond like drawing itself, i.e. i dont know how to shade, pick colors, do bgs, etc. (can u tell??? do u see that art up there???? can YOU TELL??) thus, i have a sort of love hate relationship with drawing, and i usually dont like my own stuff. i didnt pick up drawing as easy as i did writing and its not nearly as intuitive to me.

that being said, it is sometimes fun when the drawings turn out just right and i get super passionate about something i draw and i can create the image in my head. so if the mood strikes me, i probably will draw more terzomega stuff in the future.

but why do i need to?? feeds you all SO WELL with little monster stuff you dont need my shitty art lmfao

9. MILK OR CEREAL FIRST? (from anon)

cereal. bc the moment the milk hits that cereal u are on a speedy ass countdown to devour that shit before it gets soggy, and brother, u better eat quick.

Things I wanted to share

Little Monster was supposed to be a one shot

so, Little Monster started as one thing and turned to something else entirely. originally, i wrote the beginning of the first chapter (where they are flirting in the church) in about april of this year. in this version, they were supposed to already be in love, though hiding it, and terzo was not drunk at all, just teasing. i eventually scrapped it because i wasnt very passionate about it and got p bored. then, in july, i had the itch to write something dark, but none of my projects at the time had characters i could really write that with. i came back to that scrapped fic and i thought, damn, i could really fuck these guys up, and i did.

little monster immediately became more successful than i thought it would be, and that was only about 10 notes and a comment in. i was happy to leave it at that, but then, i just started writing part two on a whim. if you look at the og post in the comments, i mention that im writing a "follow up". thats bc even when writing part two, this was not going to be a series !! but then, as i kept writing, part two became so long i had to split it in half, meaning there were suddenly 3. by the time i posted part three, though, i was shocked at the sheer amount of attention i was getting. at the same time, part three ended in such a way that i knew this story needed to keep going, to give these two a resolution. now, little monster will be a full fledged story thanks to all the support ive received :3

2. im an english major

yeah, you got me, im a college student majoring in english creative writing. is it obvious? my penultimate goal is to one day be a published author. it’s crazy surreal to me how much people express to me how they enjoy my writing~~ i hope i can one day make my dream come true 🥰 the unfortunate part about this is i go back to college next week and im uncertain how that will affect my writing schedule :p i’ll stick to weekly uploads for little monster tho dw !!

3. this is the first time i’ve written fanfic in several years

when i first started writing it was frerard and peterick fanfics on wattpad in middle school (huge shoutout to the ones that know lmfao). i stopped writing those before hs and haven’t written fanfic since. i think it’s very funny that i have come full circle back to writing band fanfic, altho ghost ofc is way more intricate with its canon

4. I LOVE YOU GUYS

i know i’ve said it a dozen times already on this post, but god it’s crazy. it’s nuts !! i’ve already made a handful of super sweet mutuals who i appreciate with all my heart, and even if you’re just a lurker, I STILL APPRECIATE YOU. EVERY SINGLE NOTE MAKES ME SO HAPPY. EVERY COMMENT AND RB HAS ME BURSTING WITH JOY.

it is entirely thanks to you all that i write terzomega and ive become so passionate about it. if it weren’t for your support, i would probably still be writing my silly little stories that no one but me could possibly understand, rotting away and wondering if anyone would even like my writing. terzo and omega are such a unique pairing compared to what ive written before, and writing them is a really cool feeling. i truly love it, and i hope i can continue to feed this side of the fandom for a long time.

from the bottom of my heart and with all my writing soul, thank you. i want to keep writing for u guys, and i want to satiate ur dirty terzomega fantasies >:) this is such a sweet and inclusive fandom and im glad i’ve been welcomed in so quickly. i hope i can continue to grow my talent here :3

ok that’s it bye teehee

[shepherds-of-haven]

Sorry if this has already been asked before, but have you ever thought about writing a sequel to SoH? I know you said it would be a stand-alone book, but I think a sequel where we explore different continents would be extremely cool. I just love these character so much and idk if I’m ready to say goodbye. I know we still have a bit left but still…

Hi there, this message has been sitting in a long queue of messages I've fallen behind on answering for a while now, but I just wanted to say thank you for taking the time to send it! It ended up being extremely thought-provoking for me, and you may have single-handedly made me reconsider my stance on a Shepherds sequel! XD

I always planned on this entry being a standalone game, though I was toying with the idea of eventually writing a sequel that follows a separate cast of characters (aka different protagonist and companions, though with room for potential cameos with the old characters). Pretty much like how Dragon Age does it! I won't go into the potential plot details now, but I was thinking it might take place sometime between 10-15 years in the future, and it would follow "a new generation" of Shepherds in a different locale. I've sort of hazily cobbled together ideas for the story/main premise, but companions outside of the main protagonist have eluded me at the moment--I really need to focus on this game, its DLC, and my next book first, so I haven't given it too much thought!

However, your comment has unearthed some feelings I've been having about a potential sequel, too! It's hard for me to feel like I'd be ready to say goodbye to the cast, as well... It's so easy for me to write them because they've been in my head for so many years, and starting an adventure in the world of Blest with different and new characters admittedly feels a bit strange. It's like having to hang back a grade while all of your friends graduate high school and then looking around at the incoming freshman class like "welp, I guess you guys are my friends now! 😒" lol. I'm torn on the issue: I don't want to not challenge myself or refuse to move out of my comfort zone as a writer--in short, I don't want to be the kind of writer who recycles the same characters and material because doing something new is daunting to me, and I don't want you all to feel like I'm making endless sequels/trying to recapture old magic and should just move on to something new, either--but I do love my cast and I'm not sure yet if I should definitively say, "No, their chapter is done with this game and it's on to the next!", because I can see so many adventures happening to them even after this story is over!

The problem lies with endings--there are so many different endings planned for this game that I hesitate in treating any of them as the true or canonical one, but otherwise trying to account for all of them in a sequel feels quite impossible to accomplish when I wasn't planning on a continuation--along with other logistical concerns that I can't get into at the moment. Like, what if you end the game with all of the Shepherds except Halek dead? What if your friend ends the game with all of them alive, but the MC is dead? This game alone is already 1 million words, but a direct sequel would probably wrack up hundreds of thousands of variations based on all of these choices in its first chapter alone! 🤔

That's why I figure DLC is the happy medium here: you can expand on or create new content and adventures for the characters, but slot them into the timeline wherever you wish, like in between Chapter 7 and 8, etc. And episodic adventures might keep things small and streamlined enough that I can update them more consistently, rather than hacking away at one giant sequel game!

Aaaaaanyway... All this is to say: I have a lot to think about! Absolutely nothing has been decided yet (not even close), but these are just some of the things I've had rattling around in my head. Thank you again for your sweet and honest words: I'm glad you're so fond of these characters and would miss them. I would, too! But whatever ends up happening, I know this game won't be the last time we see them. :)

Thanks again!

I Tried, I Really Did

Okiii Big warning yall!! This is JJK x reader but no love interest, just talks of their highschool time (Might expand more into this AU) Kinda hinted at with Geto x reader and Gojo x reader but nothing concrete This is a very DARK story with no comfort. Reader gets into a really bad headspace so if this is triggering for you I don't recommend you read it. Ending is kinda up to interpretation but still. It gets dark. Just wanted to write this idea out and it spiraled, might write an epilogue to it but idk. Gonna mainly focus on my other fics after this.

The cold winter air bites at your face, causing a prickling sensation on your skin as you walk down the street. Street lights adorned for the upcoming holidays illuminate the stores. Happy families and couples are walking down the street, eager to escape the cold.  

The last few years have been rough on you due to the overwhelming stress of being a sorcerer. As a young sorcerer, you face the daily burden of curses and loneliness, yet your future is full of possibilities. Still… You couldn’t help but feel tired, burdened by the daily challenges of curses and loneliness. A loud laugh grabs your attention, making you up, you see a group of teenagers. They laughed together without a care in the world, enjoying their time together. Surely thinking they were going to be together forever. At this sight, your mind began to wander to simpler times with people you thought would be by your side forever, the bracelet on your wrist was a reminder. 

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

“Suguru! Satoru! Shoko and I got ice cream!”  

The four of you had just met earlier that year but were thick as thieves since you were the only first years. You guys were always together on missions and hanging out. Getting into trouble with the teachers and running pranks on them. Each of you were strong in your own right, with the future of becoming strong sorcerers ahead of you. You were especially grateful for your new friends who made the transition to Jujutsu Tech easier. You discovered your cursed technique later in life, considered a late bloomer, and were fortunate to be found by a sorcerer visiting your country. Quickly, you were brought to Jujutsu Tech, a school specializing in curses, to learn more about the world of curses. Seeing your grocery bags, the boys run over to you, smiling and nudging each other roughly. Arguing already on which one they called dibs on. 

“Fine Satoru.” The black haired teen sighed, plopping next to you. Satoru eagerly took the bag to look through it. You each took your own seat against a wall nearby. Suguru looked over at yours, raising his eyebrow at the sight of your new bracelet. 

“That new?” He asked, twirling some of his longer hair around a finger in thought. The teen had started growing it out just before starting high school, so it just reached his shoulders. 

It was a cute beaded bracelet, a simple thing. The color really complimented your skin tone, in his opinion. 

“Yup! Shoko remembered what my favorite color was and bought it for me.” You confirmed, smiling brightly.

“It’s nothing much.” She shrugs, tossing her stick into the bag, going into it to grab the cigarettes she stole, much to your chagrin. You had begged her not to start smoking, having heard how bad it is for people. 

“It’s cheap.” Satoru chimes, earning a smack on the shoulder from you. 

"Well, I love it.” Poking your tongue out at him playfully while he rubbed the sore spot. 

The beginning of school with them was like a dream filled with adventures. Each day you cherish them, growing closer to them. 

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Your days were bland now. A cycle of the same old thing. Get up, eat, exorcize curses, eat, sleep, and repeat. Nothing was new. Nothing. The only company you had was the occasional visit of your two closest friends, Shoko and Satoru, but those were rare. The two of them also had a busy schedule, as is usual for a sorcerer. Nothing reminded you more of your loneliness than the holidays, seeing people with their loved ones while yours were miles away. You had the financial resources to fly over and visit your family, but your packed schedule filled with missions and training left you with no time to make the trip. Your interactions with your family now solely revolve around phone calls, filled with updates on your life, nostalgic anecdotes, and the occasional words of encouragement that echo through the receiver. As you walked through the streets of Tokyo it began to snow. Raising your hand up you admired the snowflakes falling onto your palm. Mind wandering still, thinking of when it all began to go downhill. 

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

“You want to stay weak? You're not going to get any better like this.” Satoru looks down at you, sucking onto a lollipop that he had for the entire fight. Still looking as perfect as ever, not having broken a sweat. 

You lay on the floor, tears brimming your eyes from frustration and your face red from the sparring session you had with him. Shoko and Suguru sat in the grass nearby, watching the two of you go at it for the last couple hours. Each round ended the same as the last. 

“Take it easy on her!” Shoko yelled, frowning at the white haired teen smiling away. 

“She shouldn’t have asked to train if she couldn’t keep up!” He yelled back, walking towards her and beginning to bicker with her. Satoru left you in the grass, as usual. Seeing this, Suguru got up, offering you a hand to get up with a soft smile on his face.

""You did well; don't let him bother you," Suguru said reassuringly as he helped you up. Shoko and Satoru continued their argument in the background, but you were grateful for Suguru's support at that moment. "Satoru is just an idiot; you're decent for your level."

"Gee, thanks." You laughed, sarcasm dripping from your tone, brushing the dirt off your uniform. A frown was etched on your face while you rubbed your shoulder, sore from being thrown to the floor countless times.

This was usually how training with Suguru or Satoru went, with one of them always throwing you to the floor. Wiping your tears from your eyes, you let out a huff, silent as everyone talked to each other, returning to sit back on the grass for a break. The three of them laughed about something you didn’t catch, too busy being frustrated and embarrassed by yet another loss against him. 

Lately, you have been training your butt off, only to have the same results. Your cursed technique, illusion creation, was not improving much; despite hours of practice, you still struggled to maintain the illusions for more than a few seconds. Granted, you were already a grade 2, which is higher than the average student could say while in their second year. But being in a class with the three of them, anyone would feel subpar. Two of the strongest sorcerers of this generation, one hailing from a great clan, along with a sorcerer with a rare healing technique. While you were just an exchange student who was thrown into a different country, relearning everything they thought they knew about the world. While you did find solace in your classmates; the four of you became close over the last couple of years together. Still, you couldn't help but feel like you were a random puzzle piece, constantly trying to fit into a picture where the other pieces seemed to align effortlessly. Zoning out, you didn't hear your name being called out—a hand waving in your face.

"Hello!" Shoko laughed, nudging your shoulder. "Welcome back to reality."

You look up and see the three of them looking at you, smiles on their faces. Shaking your head, you laughed with them.

"Sorry, just out of it today." You say this, rubbing your neck and looking back at the sky. "What were you saying?"

"Just thinking we should hit up the arcade; it's been awhile since we all went." She said, All three of them looked you expectantly.

"I'm good, guys." You shrugged your shoulders, sloping as you weakly smiled at them. "Maybe next time."

The group departs after finishing up the training session, with the three of them heading to the arcade. Going back to your room, you tiredly take a shower and change into your clothes. Feeling dejected as you go lay down. Your emotions were taking hold as you looked up at the ceiling. You couldn't shake the feeling of isolation that had been creeping in lately. It was hard to explain, but you just needed some time alone to recharge.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

You don’t know when you got home. The apartment was clean, almost barren, and the fridge was empty from not being refilled recently. Only a carton of milk and leftover takeout from the previous night inside it. You drop your snow covered coat onto the hanger with your scarf, leaving your shoes on the rack. Slipping your slippers on, you go into the kitchen to eat. With no other option, you reheat the takeout. While that was in the microwave, you got a call. Fishing your phone out of your pocket, you saw your parents calling, sighing, and you answered it. 

“Hey mom.” You said, picking up the milk carton, looking at it not even halfway full. 

“Honey! How’s my sweet girl doing?” She asked, kindness in her tone. Your family is loud in the background, as usual. 

“I’m okay,” you replied, pouring the milk down the drain. Your appetite is gone as you toss the leftover food out. 

"Well, that’s good. We miss you, dear; we really wish you’d come over instead of working so much.” She says, “Don’t be getting fat now! You know how you are with food.”

“I know, mom.” You sigh, rubbing your temple. “Tell everyone I love them. I gotta head to bed. Long day.” 

“Well, get some rest; your father says hello! Love you, dear!”

With that, the call ends, and the silence in your apartment deafens. Finding nothing else to do, you walk around, cleaning up the already cleaned apartment. While doing so, you come across an old picture on your desk. Six teens were all smiling together at a carnival in the summer before things went to shit. 

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

One fateful mission, involving a powerful foe, altered the dynamics of your group forever, leaving behind a trail of uncertainty. 

The once tight group is more spread out now. Everyone felt different now, especially after losing the Star Platinum Vessel. Satoru and Suguru returned from the mission differently. No one was as close; the four of you rarely saw each other. Shoko was always on campus; the higher ups didn't want to risk losing her, while everyone else was sent on solo missions due to the high abundance of curses now. This pressure was felt not only by you but also by Suguru, the two of you looking worse for wear. On a rare day, you happened to see him, taking the chance to check on him. 

“Sugu! How are you doing?” You asked, walking with him in the dorm hallways. He barely acknowledged you, smiling weakly your way. His long hair was down with a tired look on his face, not that you looked any better. 

“I’m fine. What about you? You look tired.” 

You wave off his worry with a hand, dismissing his question with a laugh. 

“Nothing I can’t handle; I gotta suck it up.” You laugh, not noticing the worried look in his eyes for you, too busy noticing the time on your watch. “Take care of yourself, you look like shit man. I’ll catch you later. I've got to go on this mission with Haibara, but I've got to look over the paperwork. We should try to hang out soon, dude; it's been too long.” 

You two never got to hang out, sadly. The mission ended with Haibara passing, something you and your underclassman, Nanami, carried with guilt. The unrelenting stream of missions, coupled with the lack of respite, weighed heavily on your shoulders, eroding your spirit and straining your bonds with those around you. The mounting pressure and constant demands pushed Suguru to his limits, until one day, the weight of it all became too much to bear, and he reached his breaking point, shattering the facade of composure he had struggled to maintain. 

Satoru was the one to break the news to you, waking you up in the middle of the day. Disbelief at his words, anger at yourself for not questioning him more, not checking in on him like you should. Too absorbed in your own missions and feelings. Tears ran down your face as Satoru took you into his arms. The two of you were mourning someone who was very much alive.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

You reminisce about the time when you and Satoru would spend hours training together, sharing stories under the starlit sky, forging a bond that felt unbreakable. The two of you comforted each other greatly after Suguru defected. For a while, you found happiness in your bond with him and Shoko. Sitting outside on your balcony with a cigarette between your lips. The city lights shining below with the snowfall.

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

One day, on your first mission as a first grade, you messed up. Your illusions broke, letting a curse run rampant in a town near the forest it was in. With your cursed weapons you tried to defeat it while also helping the civilians nearby go to safety. A child fell in the middle of it, giving the curse a moment to strike. Without a moments doubt you ran them, your instinct screaming to protect the child, causing the curse injured you badly. Satoru had made it in time, killing the curse like nothing and getting you to Shoko in time. The injury plunged you into a deep coma for two weeks, where vivid dreams and fleeting memories danced at the edge of your consciousness, leaving Satoru and Shoko in a constant state of worry and vigil by your bedside. When you finally did wake up, they rushed to your room. 

“A weakling like you needs to stop acting like a hero.” Satoru harshly says this, sitting on the chair next to your bed. He was tired of the circumstances and did not express his worry for you in the best way. Shoko frowned at his harsh words while she rewrapped the bandages on your forehead, checking over your injuries. 

“You just think I’m useless, huh?” You asked, your tone equally harsh at him. “At least I’m trying, not everyone is born perfect.”

He scoffed at that; even with his bandages over his eyes you could tell he rolled them. His irritation with you is clear. Shoko sighed as she wrapped your head gently, sensing the tension between the two of you.

"Enough," she said firmly, trying to diffuse the situation before it escalated further. After a brief glance at her, Satoru turned back to you, his expression softening slightly. Your eyes harden instead, and you look away from him with pursed lips. Shoko finished up changing your bandages, standing before you still with her hands on her hips. Staying stubborn, you didn't talk to either of them, pouting your lip out like a kid.

"Look. All I'm trying to say is you need to be careful." He clarified, choosing his words more thoughtfully this time. Shoko exchanged a knowing look with Satoru before turning back to you.

"We care about you, that's all," she added gently, hoping to break through your stubborn facade.

"Well, I'm fine." You curtly responded, frustrated at the outcomes of the mission and how weak you felt. “Still alive, didn’t die.”

Shoko sighed, patting your shoulder, and turned to leave. Knowing you needed a little space and she needed a smoke break.

"I… I didn't mean to be so harsh. I just got worried." Satoru said quietly, reaching his hand out to take yours, the two of you alone. You hesitated for a moment before squeezing his hand in reassurance, appreciating the genuine concern in his eyes.

"I know, I'm sorry too," you replied softly, feeling a weight lift off your shoulders as you finally let your guard down. "Just tired, Toru."

"Well, what did you always use to say? Suck it up? You'll be fine." Satoru attempted to lighten the mood with that. This only made your mood dampen; not that he noticed, rubbing your hands thoughtfully, he stood up.

"Try to get some rest. The higher ups will throw us back into the fire before you know it. You’ll do better, I'm sure."

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

The next time you saw him was a couple of months later, over drinks after work. Shoko managed to convince him to come with another friend of ours, Utahime. While those two caught up, you and Satoru talked a bit. You both sat at the bar, drinks in hand. Satoru sipped his virgin drink, eyeing you next to him.

"You’ve been doing good." He smiled, nudging you with his elbow. "That last mission was butter for you, I hear; you're getting stronger."

You nodded numbly, sipping on your own drink, the alcohol buzzing on your tongue. The mood was darker than usual as you thought about the risks and sacrifices that came with each successful mission. While Satoru's praise was appreciated, it also reminded you of the toll this line of work was taking on your mental and emotional well-being.

"Not like it means shit." You muttered, not looking at him. "Curses sprout like weeds, and sorcerers die like flies. It's a never-ending cycle."

His smile faltered as he glanced at you with concern, his blue eyes peering over his sunglasses. You could see the worry etched in his expression, a stark contrast to his usual confident demeanor. Saying nothing more, you took out a cigarette, lit it, and puffed out some smoke. You could feel his gaze linger on you, silently pleading for you to open up about the toll the job was taking on you. But you remained silent, lost in your own thoughts, as you took another drag from your cigarette.

"Thought you hated those?" He broke the silence, swiping the cigarette from your lips and putting it out on the ashtray next to you. Turning to him, your eyes glare at him. Now he could see the bags under your eyes and the dullness of your once bright eyes.

"Sometimes it's the only thing that helps me relax," you muttered, avoiding his concerned gaze. "I just can't seem to shake this feeling of exhaustion lately." He reached out and gently squeezed your hand, offering silent support as you finally opened up about the toll the job was taking on you.

"Do you ever… feel overwhelmed all the time?" You ask, hand shaking a bit. Tears well up in your eyes at your confession. After years of bottling up your feelings, they are coming out. "Our comrades die every day with people in charge who don’t risk a thing. Replacing us is so easy, like defective machines."

"What we do is hard." He agreed, thinking over his words. "It's not for everyone, that's for sure. Maybe you should rethink your priorities and consider if this is still the right path for you." The weight of his words hangs heavy in the air, causing you to pause and reflect on your next steps.

"You think I'm weak." You say with a frown, tapping the counter at the bartender and asking for another. Satoru winces at that, his brows furrowed. He shakes his head.

"No, not weak. Just maybe not cut out for this kind of life."

You take a deep breath, feeling the weight of his words sink in as you contemplate your future. The bartender slides you your next drink, and you quickly knock it back, the alcohol burning down your throat. The burn feels like a release, numbing the doubts and fears that swirl in your mind for a moment. Satoru watches you closely, his expression softening with understanding.

"I'll catch you later, Satoru. I should head home. Happy holidays."

Satoru nods, a small smile playing on his lips. "Take care of yourself," he says softly before you turn to leave, the sound of his voice lingering in your mind as you step out into the cold winter night to begin the walk home.

 

~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.~.

Now in bed, you lay in thought, tired but unable to sleep. Mind racing with thoughts—ones that give you no comfort in the night. The whirl of the wind is shaking your windows. The pleasant snow from earlier picked up a bit, causing snow to pile up now. Sitting up, you decide there is no better time than now, an eerie calmness over you.

As you move around your apartment, you double-check that everything is in order. Most of your belongings are still packed away. You leave your clean and empty apartment with a note for each of your loved ones, your beloved bracelet left next to it.

Going into the snow you venture to a bridge nearby with a raging river below. It was one you always walked to when you needed to think. A safe space where few ventured. Standing at the railing you lean against it, the wind is bellowing around you. Snow falls gently from the sky for a moment, creating a serene atmosphere. Taking a deep breath, you close your eyes and finally let yourself feel the weight of everything that has happened. Thinking of the loneliness and pain, the last few years have given you despite doing your best each day. You step onto the railing, balancing on the edge as you feel at peace. The sound of the rushing water below is calming, almost hypnotic. Opening your eyes you see snow around you, your breath fanning out in a white fog. As you close your eyes again and take one last deep breath, you feel the decision has been made.

YIKES Yeahhh like I said,,,,,Got dark homies.

[sharkdoughnutz]

expanding on my take for Hazbin Hotel; basically Charlie and Vaggie are angels helping sinners get redeemed, Charlie moreso than Vaggie but yk

notes under cut if interested!!

notes:

•Charlie might be a bit too small? she's cute nontheless. anyways, Charlie is probably just going to be a regular angel and not a seraphim. though, as interesting as it is, i just didnt think about that beforehand so she's probably just being regular. i could maybe work in the seraphim aspect in some way but im not sure rn

•Vaggie is an exorcist but is being forced into Charlie's bodyguard/assistant by Adam, though that's the only help he'll be giving Charlie and her project

•im thinking of making all of the exorcists 80s rock inspired harpies cuz it makes some sense i guess 🤷 just thought it would be cool honestly. hopefully Vaggie doesn't look too out of place?

•Angel is their first resident, purely on accident cuz he just planned on crashing there for maybe a night or so but somehow got dragged into actually participating; maybe he has a soft spot deep down or its his secret desire to redeem himself to see his twin sister? who really knows

•Alastor is only there to cause chaos really, in some way im not entirely sure of yet. but Charlie allows him to stay and "help" because she believes he actually has good inside him; spoiler alert: he does not!!

•back to Vaggie really quick, but im thinking about having her pull out her weapon from like her body or maybe her halo or maybe even her wings cuz that's so much cooler than her just carrying around the thing

•i didnt add Nifty or Husk mainly because i didnt know how to fit them in, Nifty could possibly work in the future if i thought about it more but idk. i dont care much for Husk personally so that's another reason

•the opposing forces against Charlie and her rag-tag group will be the three Vees. Vox and Al have their beef, Angel and Val also have issues with each other, and for Velette: im thinking she could butt heads with Charlie, and Vaggie by extension because she's Charlie's obligatory bodyguard, but mostly Charlie.

•Sir P might play a role in the future but that would be when we would know more about the main characters and the Vees. Cherri might too, but she'll stay just as Angel's friend for now who shows up every once and now to try to ruin his progress, not because she doesnt want him succeed but because drugs and alcohol are the only things she knows that makes him happy, and she usually takes him out after he vents to her about Val and work

Tarot Mini Reading Request

My initials: SR, Sabrina Rocha

17.06.2004

Sun-Moon-Mercury-Venus-Lilith Gemini ♊️

His Initials: RP, Rico P.

29.11.1991

Coworker at gastro, leader/shift supervisor 2nd in-command. Charismatic, hard to get to know personally. Problem-solver, strategic and professional. Great at teamwork. Gym rat. No hobbies. No faith in love or trust, but seems to be devoted to God (wears cross), always has his doppio espresso. Speaks Spanish and likes Shisha bars.

Green eyes, tall and very fit, beautiful smile. Blueish-greenish grey aura/vibes.

Sort of became a little more softie towards me. Caring when I don’t make him book food for my dinner (one of his tasks for the team), sometimes double-asking. Defending me from a disrespectful coworker on some occasions. Seemingly being closer to me at times. Or like that time he stared almost intensely at my eyes….and I tried to hold the stare until I looked down and away…shy as hell.

Last time we worked together, I gifted him a letter. Sort of love letter confessing that I like him more than just a coworker and inviting him to a coffee date. Also reassuring him I respect him a lot as a person and hope nothing will change after this if he feels uncomfortable or can’t reciprocate the feelings back. At the end telling a little more about me via a self-made quote and songs. A few drawings and scents (coffee, vanilla and lemongrass) on the letter and envelope.

What will the answer be or rely to be most likely? Positive, negative. Any other cards telling more, as it’s a short reading?

I’d be willing to expand on that through paying a little extra amount for more card pulls and energy-reading.

Thank you so much already!

sabrina sorry but does his surname happen to be…puerto?? nah nah im kidding 😂😂😂 my own lil jokes haha im playin

rico’s energy?

ok so…he kinda has a weird energy to him? it’s kinda strange. it’s like he’s putting on some sort of act or something or maybe he has to but yeah you’re right about him being hard to open up. he’s getting there yes, also correct.. but there’s something that’s going to be revealed and it will change everything. it was probably your little confession, but he’s taking everything into account. it’s also strange that i got deception like 3 times in the reading already. not in a bad way but like…hiding his true feelings? ik this is a little late so idk if he’s answered you yet, but in his mind he’ll try to keep things as peaceful and harmonious, at least at work. i will say that whatever the outcome is, you’ll try to keep yourself balanced and logical. it’s gonna be hard at work but you’ll try really, realllllly hard. you might hold back feelings or suppress some emotions. also i pulled some advice for you. again, whatever the outcome, make sure you don’t change yourself. love will come to you naturally. ALSO!!!! be very careful materially. don’t be sharing finances out so easily, NO MATTER WHO THEY ARE!!!!!!! very important. be careful of theft as well. be careful who you let in easily. if you’re already guarded and are an alert person, that’s going to do you some good for now. i think you’re a fair person or at least you want to act fairly. you might have some moments where you feel like you have to overcompensate or prove yourself and your worth, especially at this job. be careful that you don’t become greedy materially. AND if people know you’re a hardworker and they happen to know how much you make, even if it’s more than them maybe, be careful with that as well. i want you to be super cautious money wise. you’ll feel down at times and to deal with it, you could put that energy into work or other things, so make sure you rest yourself and give yourself time to sit down and process emotions sometimes ok? i don’t think you give up easily either so good on you! you’re just getting started hahah. and you are worthy alright? don’t ever doubt it.

i think there’s possibility for there to be a love connection (in the future)! it just probably won’t happen super soon bc of financial reasons. he could feel pretty stuck and unsure how to really move on from now. whatever the outcome, he doesn’t want there to be drama between you two or work. he’d like to keep everything civil. if he’s a little avoidant, it’s probably bc you’re taking steps to pursue him. not that he thinks it’s bad! he’s just kind of in that…uncertain period, esp emotionally. it’s not you tho! not your fault or anything. the good thing is that he’ll try to be nice about everything. maybe it won’t happen so soon, but there is definitely a chance for you in the future with this guy. it could also be an age thing, so maybe he’s waiting for you to be more financially stable or just ready in general. he could also be in that energy where if he pursues this relationship, he’s thinking about *everything* that could change in his life.

that’s all i have for you sabrina!! thank you for joining the game :)

Hello love, what could it mean to have Jupiter in libra in 10th exactly trine Neptune in Aquarius in 2nd house ?

tysm for the ask!!! i would've gotten to this like a day sooner but the 20th was my birthday so 😭😭

so im cookin up a theory in my head in regards to libra and virgo specifically, it's not fully formed yet i gotta think abt it more but ill test it out a bit here-

to me, jupiter can represent what someone is naturally gifted at and also always learning, i wrote a whole newsletter abt my take on jupiter so if ur interested, here u go-

and libra generally represents balance and such, but in this half-formed theory im letting marinate in my head, libra and virgo are the two signs that are essential "human" signs- meaning they deal primarily with the subject of humanity itself-

cant elaborate too much on that yet unfortunately bc like i said im still cooking it BUT- Jupiter in Libra to me could mean you're always willing to learn more about what it means to be human and be fair to others- you probably have a strong sense of justice and are very "treat people how you would want to be treated"- and you may have a natural gift for social mediation, like you probably have the ability to speak to and unite groups of people.

jupiter in the 10th house has a saturn/capricorn connotation to it, and in libra, id say you have the potential to be a very fair manager in a way? like you're probably a strong advocate for equal pay, stuff like that

a neptune trine gives your jupiter a more spiritual side though so the more ✨✨💫💫🔮🔮 side of that saturn/cap connotation would be potentially prophetic insight into where you're supposed to be going in life and where you've been- you're probably very good at seeing the bigger picture in everything but im not sure what the rest of ur chart looks like so there Is potential for u to get lost in the big picture and forget abt details unless you have a strong saturn/mercury- which u probably do have a relatively strong saturn considering the cap rising-

neptune in aquarius is really interesting to me, probably bc i have it too, BUT!!! especially if u have other heavy aquarius placements or your neptune is heavily aspected, i imagine u might be either tech savvy or interested in technology, especially the use of it to reach more information about spiritual or creative topics

speaking from my personal experience w/neptune in aquarius, you may have the potential to get a little 😵‍💫 about the future, whether it be deluded or anxious, and you might have extremely vivid daydreams about potential events that you legitimately find yourself getting totally lost in and you snap out of them a little later like "whoa where was i."

you might be very quick with your intuition too- claircognizance makes sense for neptune in aquarius since uranus is the higher octave of mercury- you might get random and extremely sudden flashes of insight that come from absolutely nowhere and you find urself thinking "idk how i knew that wtf"

and neptune in the 2nd house, idk if it's retrograde or not so this could be very hit or miss but neptune in the 2nd could give you a strange relationship with money or your basic needs- jupiter in 10th could even this out a little or make it worse but similar to neptune in the 8th house, you could notice money coming and going through very weird ways- like maybe you get inheritances that you didn't expect, general influxes of money that you didn't expect, or maybe you get very costly bills that you didn't expect or something to that effect- the uranus connotation your neptune has could amplify that unexpected, random energy too because uranus is such an erratic planet.

jupiter trine neptune is a CRAZY spiritual aspect itself though- again im not sure what the rest of your chart looks like so i can't tell you super specifics BUT if it was afflicted, like either planet badly aspected besides the trine, jupiter would just expand upon neptune's delusional tendencies and that could lead to some serious financial, social and spiritual crises- i say social because libra rules the 7th house and aquarius rules the 11th house, both houses being generally associated with partners or collectives

if it isn't afflicted and is instead backed up by multiple other planets, you probably have some crazy intuition and clair-abilities- you could have what i like to call a built-in vibe detector when it comes to meeting new people (like i do hiii), or people could easily deceive you via potential high hopes-

overall that's a Strong aspect and couple placements to have and im interested to know if any of this made sense or i was totally wrong- but it definitely all depends on the rest of your chart too- like an afflicted saturn or mercury or something could fuck all of that good shit up and make it barely noticeable OR taint the effect of it and make it an honorable affliction basically-

but i hope this helped somewhat at least!!! i could be horrifically wrong or horrifically accurate idk that's for u to decide but in either case thank u for the question!! it was a good brain jog :))!!

[moominvalley-state-of-mind]

ALRIGHTY

Idk if this qualifies as an au but whatever lol

So the au is set like a century or two or more so in the future, the vegimals obviously being immortal (/silly), the octonauts (probobly the ones we know, a few gens after, idk yet) has disbanded after some horrific accident

The vegimals are living on a mostly broken octopod (I'm talking lower half and some sleeping things are flooded, lights mostly off, ect) and for story purposes the arm of the octopod that dashi & Peso (?) slept in is not flooded

Days and weeks and months have begun to blur togethor and the vegimals have been spending all their time trying to get the octopod up and running (their crew will come back, right?)

So have a little fanfic:

Tunip swims up to dashi's room, remembering she had a book on the mechanics of the octopod

In their search, Tunip finds a box filled with USB drives or smth

Plugging one in the computor rewards them with a video of a christmas they had all spent togethor (the vegimal Christmas episode)

Plates are set at the table, the crew is running around and laughing.

Dashi steps away from the video recorder and looks back, then jogging over to the tabel where Barrot is setting down the last plate, pilled with food

The video goes on for a while, until evreyone seems to have turned in for the night & dashi is left to shut down anything costing them energy.

She's at the computor, typing away quickly when she straightens, remembering the video.

Dashi runs over a turns it off, cursing something about waisting battery.

Turnip rushes downstairs and shows the video to the rest of the vegimals, all taking a (well needed) break to remember

The videos range from dashi in her room, giving a recap of her day, like a video diary, to less than thirty seconds of a butterfly or a fish, to the rest of the octonauts celebrating something - laughing, jumping and cheering.

They record all of the years dashi lived on the octopod, but stutter out to being farther apart around the time she starts to live & work more on the octoray (evreyone really hopes there's more on there)

At the bottom of the box they find one with a pice of tape over it, marked with the date dashi was first employed (the vegimals weren't aware of this before watching this)

The video clicks on and dashi comes into frame, falling into a chair infront of the camera

"Hello! Uh - to anyone seeing this, my name is Dashi, and this is the first of many video diaries I wanna record while working on the octopod!"

She goes on to talk excitedly about the day, the people she's met ("and theirs this really cute scottish guy - I think he's the biologist, but anyways -"), the octopod and it's utilities, but most of all - the veiw.

"It's really pretty! I can't wait to take more photos of it!"

She turns the camera around to face the big blue ocean - it isn't much to look at, almost like a void, but she sounds so exited it makes the veiw so much more butiful

Dashi turns the camera back around to wave and say goodbye, reaching over and shutting off the video.

-

Yeah :]

I might wanna expand on this a bit more, apologies for my writing, it's like my first time writing dashi & any of the vegimals lol

I love the idea of dashi expanding on her role as photographer and she seems like she'd like to record thing for the sake of ~prosperity~

Hope yall liked it :D

How big is the Vyrm household? I’d imagine it’s quite Considering how big the family has gotten I’d assume it has went through some of vyrms renovations as the years passed and several rooms have been added. Like does hornet have her own room or does she share it with holly for example? Idk if you got plans to look into this in further detail like home design and all that since that’s obv not the point of the AU but from what we’ve seen from some artwork it does look quite cozy and I’m just curious about the home.

I had some rough plans of the house made on one of those house planner websites and I tried to make their house in Minecraft, but it took way more effort than anticipated. I might still return to it, but right now I'm considering doing something similar in The Sims 4, since it has a much more efficient build mode for house plans.

But since this ask has been in the inbox for so long I might as well share some written details of what I have in mind (which may change once I get to actually create it visually)

The outside of the house would be very similar to the general architectural style of Dirtmouth for the AU, which I envision to be a mix of the canon dome-like huts and a lot of elements inspired by medieval Scandinavian architecture or similar styles. Relatively simple, made of logs and stone, with strong roofs adapted for snowfall.

The Vyrm family house in particular would be one of the largest in Dirtmouth. The ground floor can be accessed from three points: the main entrance which connects to the rest of the town, the back door which leads to the garden, and Vyrm's shop and his workshop which connect to the house. The floor consists on one large room separated by archways into smaller sections. The main one is the living room area, with a fireplace and places to sit and relax. The kitchen and dining area connect to it with archways. The exact details on where everything is located is up to change, I only have a few pictures of the recreation in Minecraft to give a general idea of how it looks (it excludes the fireplace and the separate dining area since I never ended up making them)

I also want there to be an entrance to the basement, though I haven't decided where it would be placed yet. Next to the living room there is a door leading to Vyrm's workshop, which then connects to the shop part with an additional door. The little hallway between the main floor and the workshop is used as storage.

(the door to the shop is in the back of the last pic, though I never ended up building it)

There is also a small bathroom on this floor, which includes everything you'd expect from a bathroom, but the one on the bottom floor has a shower as opposed to the second bathroom on the upper floor.

Before I get to the upper floor, I can't forget about the two symmetrical rooms near the staircase. They belong to Hornet and Holly respectively, and are roughly the same in size (though Hornet's room is a lot more messy so it looks smaller on the inside). Next to Holly's room there is the door to the back garden.

The staircase leads to the upper floor, which is where the remaining bedrooms are. The biggest of them belongs to Vyrm and Grimm, and it has an entrance to the balcony. Three smaller rooms on this floor are intended to be bedrooms, but for now only one is in use: this is the shared room for Lewk and the twins. The other two rooms are currently serving the purpose of storage rooms, but in the future they will most likely become Asta and Milo's bedrooms. There is also a second bathroom here, this one has a bathtub. It's placed directly above the ground floor bathroom as the water pipes were simply extended upwards.

So as you can see from the Minecraft pics, the house is still cozy inside, but the number of rooms makes it look really big on the outside. I don't think it will be expanded much in the future, if Grimm and Vyrm ever decide to have more children, the grown up ones (especially Hornet and Holly) would most likely have already moved out by then (I quite like the idea of them building their own houses nearby, so you'd have a whole little section of Dirtmouth where the family lives haha)

Again, things are very likely to change, but this is the general idea that I'm going with for now.

[elvenbeard]

V Then and Now

Yes, I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon too! XD Even though I feel like Vince really hasn't changed much at all, but AMM defintiely gave me an opportunity to take better pics of him :D Because poses <3 and subtle expressions <3 "look at" feature, my beloved <3

2022/12/18

This was the first pic of him I ever took in Photomode where you could actually see his face XD I had taken scenic pics mostly until then, or him just standing somewhere and looking into the distance. I remember that it felt weird to take pics of him at first... I figure, since it's a first person game and you don't really see your character's face up close that much, it was always like "uh, hello sir, sorry for approaching so closely" initially xD he felt a little bit like a stranger. Glad I'm over that now :D

I'm a chronic screenshot taker though, and so this is not technically his "oldest" pic I have. That would be this:

2022/11/27

The usual "oh no, I like this guy... better take shots of all his sliders real quick so I don't lose him if I wanna play him again!"

But my most favourite early pic of him that I shared with everyone back then was from the 6-month-montage:

Idk there is just something about it that really... captured his essence in a sense and the brainrot started XD Little cocky bastard coming into his own finally but still has to hype himself up in front of the bathroom mirror bc on the inside he's just a scared kid really xD And that hasn't changed until now - yeah I can say with relative confidence that his personality did not change much, just became more well-rounded over the months, he has a very well-developed backstory now, and I keep getting to know him better and better as I'm slowly going through my second playthrough xD

2023/07/18

He's still an edgy bastard, but he got his tattoos upgraded to something fitting his vibes better :3 His fashion sense is still soemthing that stands out, even more so now than it used to! That is probably the biggest change from that early shot, his wardrobe fitting his corpo background and personality more (cause first time around I was so caught up in story stuff and didn't really know yet what options there were in terms of clothing and styles... so I just put him in that random Wraiths jacket for a large part of my first playthrough xD I still like that style of jacket a lot, and him just running around shirtless under his coats and jackets bc gotta show off those tats :3).

2023/07/01

I am very very happy with his looks and as of right now I'm not really planning on changing anything big about his physical appearance. He is and always was (and always will be) equipped with very little cyberware, he has tattoos that fit him now (although I might expand on them in the future for a potential post-2077 appearance). I still wanna do an updated wardrobe post and mod him some custom top surgery scars, but I liked him a lot from the start and feel like if I changed him too much it wouldn't be my Vince anymore xD

haikyuu boys who made time capsules with you

 starring! hinata, tendou, bokuto x gn!reader

tw! drinking in hinata’s and bokuto’s, mention of cemetery in tendou’s. it’s not a bad thing though! maybe? idk..

hinata would be such a cutie when opening the capsule with you. he has a very vivid memory of how you even agreed to make a capsule. the capsule was made 5 years back when both of you were in your third year of high school. you guys had just started dating then. hinata may have forgotten how you ended up making a capsule, but he would never forget what was put inside of it. okay, it might be gross to hear now, but he probably put a piece of a steam bun in there or something. or maybe a snatched hairtie from the coach.. or maybe a cigarette butt, idk, that guy is..... anyways, what you buried inside was nothing that special. just a pencil that hinata had given you when you forgot your pencil pouch at home. some other things, like stickers you would put on your notebook and EVERYTHING. so when you guys opened up the capsule, the amount of memories rushing back inside your heads was enough to make you both nostalgic. and so after that, you guys called up the karasuno team to plan a hangout, even inviting coach ukai for some drinks because everyone is legal!

tendou introduced the idea of the time capsule at first. you were questioning the suggestion, but you were also intrigued. because in your mind, you thought that the time capsule wouldn’t even be stay underground for more than a week or so. but lo and behold, you forgot about it after burying it.... tendou and you weren’t really dating yet. you guys were in the friends but mutual pining stage. so still shy. like c’mon, you guys BOTH know you got a thing for each other, but no one wants to say anything first. aside from that, tendou suggested the idea because he wanted to see where you guys would be in the future when you actually open the capsule. so now as you two are a couple, you came back to where you buried the capsule and dug it out. the spot was not the best because it was really close to a grave site. your high school selves would’ve never guessed the cemetery would expand this much. so you were getting the dirty looks from some people. like ‘have they got no shame doing this is broad daylight?’ and all that... but alas! you got the capsule out and the people around you had released a breath they didn’t know they were holding. inside, you saw a magazine that tendou would share with ushijima. you also found some treats in there. but what you both were surprised to see were his finger tapes. oh the memories 

bokuto was dead beat drunk when he randomly mentioned the idea of the time capsule to you. you had actually forgotten about it. so you dragged drunk bokuto with you to sober him up. surprisingly, he was able to remember where it was. it was no surprise that it would be outside of akaashi’s house though.. but him being drunk and all, you guys decided to reminisce the past. bokuto had snuck out of practice early that day, saying how his mom fell down the stairs- and you both gathered all the things you wanted to bury. bokuto laid out his singular knee pad, a ball pump, a piece of a sandwich, while you had stolen some drunk guy’s alcohol bottle off the street and your diary. bokuto was confused at first, but when you explained why you had an alcohol bottle, he understood. “I wanted to see if we would be able to drink when we come back to dig this out”. so here you were, both cringing and ‘ew’ ing at the old bottle. “I may be drunk, but I know gross when alcohol when I see one” and you both broke out into fits of laughter. 

let me know if you guys want a part two or not!! because I kinda wanna write for more characters, but I've run out of ideas T_T and feel free to request anything! for now, I'm willing to write about anyone and anything LOL

Hey I love your writing so much! I'm currently replaying royal affairs for the tenth time and I was wondering how the dynamic might be for Javi with a cuddlebug reader. Like, she's very supportive of Javi and kind. I noticed Javi responds well to kindness and a soft touch. Like, he's awkward at first but he kinda warms to it and it's like it disarms him, despite himself,, is what it seems like to me. The reader is like that. Very patient with him and forgiving.

Is there a point at which he'd be super cuddly with her? Even if he makes a production of it? Like maybe not huge pda if he's uncomfortable with it, but at least behind closed doors? Like if she doesn't make a big deal about it? I think I read somewhere u said he likes cuddles but would be okay (or even desire to be) very affectionate or is that a blue moon thing?

Cuz like I headcannon my reader as one scared off from sex in the past (totally not projecting on my character ahem), but she's still really touch starved and feels safe when snuggled or held or just her hair caressed. She could be open to... other... stuff in the future with Javi, if they both trust eachpther and are comfortable with it at that point,but for now she's scared. So she's just looking for the innocent touches. Would Javi respond to her need for touch or would he be annoyed? I wouldn't want to annoy him with her preferred love language and make that cause a rift between them

Also, does kisses to the cheek/forehead/hair count as kissing? Because that seems more affectionate and comforting to me but idk how Javi would stand.

Don't mind me, just trying to properly picture how my character's marriage to Javi would be like. I love that little prickly porcupine. I like when he shows his soft underbelly. The trust 🥲My character would be very gentle with it.

U don't have to answer this if you're tired of answered questions like this about Javi. I am just totally projecting on my character and would like to know if he'd pet my hair and hold me at night 😅 I'd try not to be too clingy in public if it messed with his *°☆Image☆°* or pride or anything.

This has been in my inbox for A While and I'd sort of been waiting until the expanded epilogue because you get to see Javi being more cuddly there, once they're less snooty towards the MC.

When they're more relaxed with the MC, Javi would like hugs, hair stroking, or holding at night; they're happy with cheek/forehead/cheek kisses, though aren't so into more... I guess longer, nuzzly kisses? they like to have a little space as well.

If you haven't played the epilogue yet and liked the Javi romance, you may enjoy seeing Javi being more affectionate and chill with the MC now that they're not feeling like they have to be competing all the time <3

hiiii mutual im gonna infodump about the timeline/watch order of the mark-cu for a minute cos im bored hope you dont mind

who killed markiplier is agreed to be before anything else. it takes place either around the 1920's or around 2017. 1920's because thats how they dress and act and its implied to be in the 1920's but theres also security cameras and a joke side video which is a news report that are all dated with 2017 but the 1920's are considered the cannon time by most people cos it makes sense.

then it gets kinda nebulous, most people seem to agree that a lot of individual skits/characters appear during the 2010's saving a few exceptions (notably wilford warfstache, darkiplier, and (actor) mark who are like the main 3).

i personally then skip to a date with markiplier around february 2017. there is a possible ending where actor mark breaks character and we go behind the scenes which i consider the 'cannon' ending. at some point after dark meets wilford/other egos and they form a small group to attempt to get revenge on actor mark for some spoiler stuff (idk if uve seen wkm yet).

after that is DAMIEN which takes place inside darkipliers mind or limbo or smth i have no clue which immediately goes into a bit before markiplier tv, which is a pitch from wilford to the other egos but it goes no where because it doesnt help the cause and everyone is too divided over it.

then theres wilford 'motherloving' warfstache which is its own like short video meant to expand wilford and another guy from wkm that might be a spoiler. im not sure where it takes place its at least 3 years after wkm but theres a lot of timeline fuckery wilford creates and youll see what i mean when u watch it. i also think the warfstache automated interview automaton takes place around this time maybe earlier

next in my version is a heist with markiplier. it doesnt have a proper ending all of em are simultaniously true because of the box (again youll see what i mean) and darkiplier (and also actor mark fucking around with the 'script' but thats going into hc territory i can yap about my headcannons later if you want me to)

then iswm takes place much later at least 20-30 years past 2040's~ but the womhole universe jumping shit means any given timeline could be in the past or the future so im not gonna get into that anyways you can watch anything in any order. wkm makes things make slightly more sense but some characters only show up in skits or on other channels so theres that.

sorry for yapping i just wanna talk but no one irl is willing to listen

I'm listeninggg I will definitely watch wkm first now

I am Soo excited to watch who killed Markiplier though this was a great reminder

Also then we can talk more about it!

Now that I've started reading Art Adore En (Hin & Phayu's novel) and Chains of Heart, I understand even less why they decided to include every single couple from the author's book universe. Yes, they're all friends, but honestly apart from maybe Boon the story would have worked just as well without including at least 33452 dudes in suits.

Unless they're supposed to be an easter egg for fans of the novels? Or maybe the production company plans on expanding the universe? Which is hilarious because there's already two different series planned from different companies with different actors but the same characters (it's confusing for me, too).

So in order not to lose my mind, I tried to figure out who is who in the show. Which is torture. You guys, I am faceblind. I know who they are by name but I can't tell them apart when they're standing next to each other.

Anyway, here goes...

This is Boon. He's a police inspector and I think he used to be Hin's senior (and code brother?) at university. He has two people working under him and they're also part of their uni friend group. One of them is Ae (who's a different Ae from the Ae who's Chief Ingpha's sister).

And I think these are Pleng, Phrai, Mangpor and Safe. Don't ask me who is who. Three of them are the same height. Please send help.

Pleng And Phrai (the show has him as Plary but uhmmmm that's not what the messages say) are the main characters in Love Puzzle. Pleng is Hin's best friend and Phrai is his boyfriend.

Mangpor means scorpion (I know because the auto-translate translated every name and let me tell you it was really confusing reading about scorpions and rocks and storms and sand and soil... and opium). Could be he's also a police officer because he's always mentioned alongside Boon and Ae in the novel.

Then there's Safe. He's the first friend Hin made at university. He's Mangpor's boyfriend because EVERYONE here has a boyfriend.

Here's where it gets weird.

All of TJ Tommys' novels are connected but most of them are different genres. Chains of Heart is a crime thriller, Art Adore En and Love Puzzle are university-themed, and these guys have a supernatural/reincarnation storyline:

Guy (left) is a doctor and Nott (right) is... idk but he can apparently predict the future. They also remember their past lives, and they're boyfriends (naturally).

When Ken was found two years ago, Hin asked Nott about what he saw in Ken's future and Nott cryptically answered that he didn't see Ken with Din. He saw Ken with someone familiar who he couldn't reach and someone unfamiliar who seemed strangely close.

...

Just be glad that Waranyu and Palang haven't shown up yet (or maybe they have. We'd never know. There's a seemingly endless amount of boyfriends in this show), because Waranyu is some kind of soul guide and can communicate with ghosts. Which he does (in an extra chapter of Chains of Heart).

That leaves Yuji. Yuji might be with Ae because he's the only other person not paired up with anyone (??). I don't have a screencap of Yuji because I'm not even sure he's in the show. He's the same age as Phayu and Ken and he definitely pops up in the novel but I haven't even so much as heard his name in the series.

Aand that's it. The gang's all here (I think. I hope).

Now someone tell them that "worrying for your friend" doesn't mean "secretly watch his every move" but something more like "hey maybe you shouldn't wallpaper your hotel room with your deceased boyfriend's face".

Hiya Unvale

I’ve been a user for a while now and I’m genuinely curious if you guys plan to add more features?

Like more questions for the traits section of the profile etc

I just love using your site. It’s so much easier and less of a headache than Toyhouse (which was my previous placement for my ocs but the coding on that site is so freakin confusing)

Now I may be misunderstanding things but is there a way I can add characters to folders? I have many ocs that all have separate projects and I don’t wanna confuse where certain characters are from and what they’ll be featured in. So far I’ve got maybe 4 comics that’s not going to be a part of the main series but will be featured in main series as mini easter eggs or just characters that will have some impact to my main oc.

I do not know if that’s what the world is for.

Also! When will we see the verification check? This way people can’t pretend to be massive artists. How would that work?

I think what might work (and this is a suggestion and idk how well this will go) message or email the people that are trying to get the check and to see if they’re real ask a few questions. Now I know this may or may not prove anything. I just don’t like some platforms (while I understand why) I rather not expose my personal information especially if it’s going to be sold on sites? If that made sense? That’s my major worried with platform like twitter and instagram (they both have a certain following requirements and a subscription fee) I’m worried if I do give out my personal information, my account might get h@cked and my data will be leaked and that’s my biggest fear with most of the platforms I have. It’s why I don’t have anything of my information on any sites because they’re not trustworthy.

Now I’m not saying that will happen, but this is just one of my major fears I have, I love the site so much because it’s gotten me to really flesh out my ocs on questions I’d never thought to ask before, and I hope it gets a app version so I don’t have to use a site to get on.

hi there! this is bri, UnVale's co-founder! i'll do my best to answer your questions!

we do plan to add many, many, many more features! we're just a small team right now (7 people), so we're just releasing things as we can. in june we released our Question of the Day feature and last month we released our Report button for site safety! (you can actually see all our recent releases here: https://blog.unvale.io/tag/changelog/ our next feature is going to be expanding some of our social functionality on the site. i do agree that more traits would be really awesome! definitely feel free to send any requests/ideas to our team. 😄 worlds is a great way to organize your projects, comics, etc! you can definitely use it to organize your characters based on the stories they're part of or in whatever way you see fit. i agree that we'll definitely need some kind of verification check in the future. it's not a problem we have a lot on the site right now (and, when it does happen, we can handle it on a case-by-case basis), but we'll need some kind of verification process in the future. to be honest, i don't know what that's going to look like, but i really appreciate your thoughts here! i'll pass them along to the team. 💖

anyway, that's all i have for now! i hope that answered your questions, and thanks for the compliments on our site! we've worked really hard on it, and--i promise-- the best is yet to come !!
