Bouquet for you always - SasuHina Month Day 14

So inspired by a prompt I saw about a performer always being surprised with flowers by the SO after each performance and my idea for a Naruto Tokyo Mew Mew AU based involving Hinata and Sasuke in the same orchestra, we get this. Maybe one day I'll actually write that au.

“Bouquets” | “Ramos de flores”

“Enjoying a story together” | “Disfrutando de una     historia juntos”

“Come on!” Sasuke demanded, dragging his brother through the crowd. The Junior Symphony Orchestra - Wind Division had just finished their concert, rounding out the separate divisions before the big final concert with the whole Symphony. The amount of people who came to see the Wind Division should have scared Sasuke with the thought of what the crowd will be coming the final concert, but he didn’t care. Right now, the only that mattered was a certain flute player. He finally spotted the familiar white bow with a strip of black through it he remembered when he saw her earlier. “Hinata! Itachi, hurry up!”

“Stop tugging me.” his older brother scolded, still following his younger brother, bowing his head to the adults with Hinata, the eldest of the Hyuuga daughters. Hanabi seemed to already be over everything, sitting on the floor, ignoring orders to get up.

“Hi Sasuke.” Hinata’s shy smile seemed brighter at the sight of the young Uchiha. She clutched her flute’s case tightly, much like Sasuke would hold onto his violin case in crowds.

“You were really good. I was able to pick you out from the rest of them. You’ll get first chair by next season, I know it.”

Her face got red. “I hope so.”

“I have something for you!” he turned, tugging on his brother’s shirt despite Itachi following the conversation. He was going to need a lecture about not pulling on clothes. He handed the flowers over, watching Sasuke turn and hold them out for Hinata. The boy had made them spend a near hour in the flower shop choosing the perfect bouquet.

“They’re so pretty!” uncharacteristically shoving her case to her father, she accepted the flowers, the size near dwarfing her face, but the smile was pretty much bigger.

“My mom said performers always need flowers after a show. So, I’ll always get you flowers. Promise.”

Itachi sighed. Great, more hours at the flower shop. But Hinata’s excited smile made it worth it.

                                                   _____________

“Hang on.” Sasuke called to Sakura and Naruto as he spotted a flower shop. He ducked inside, nodding to the shop associate, who stayed behind the desk checking something over on a clipboard. He ignored the sound of the bell ringing as he walked through the store, hoping something would catch his eye.

“Since when were you interested in flowers?” Naruto asked, looking over his shoulder. Sakura was nearby trying not to eavesdrop. It was taking her a while to still get over him romantically but he hoped she’d get over it soon. He hated being so awkward and overly careful with his words towards one of his closest friends.

“I need a bouquet for my performance tomorrow.”

“You’re pre-buying flowers for yourself?”

Sasuke rolled his eyes. “They’re not for me. It’s for someone else. I won’t have time to get them tomorrow, we’re in rehearsal for hours before the performance.”

He’d gotten so many flowers over the years for each performance, he felt like he'd given her every flower possible.

“Girls don’t want flowers. They want bread.”

Sakura scoffed as Sasuke glared at him. “Where on earth did you hear that? There aren’t many bread products I’d want more than flowers.”

“Besides, I already got her a box of cinnamon buns in place of flowers one time. She liked them but she also shared them with everyone.”

“Oh,” Naruto said, smirking, “so it’s those type of flowers.”

Sakura shoved him away, shooing him off. “Go somewhere else! Disappear.” she turned to Sasuke, who was already tensing for the uncomfortable questions. His feelings for Hinata existed way before he met Sakura, just because he hadn’t acted on them didn’t mean they weren’t real. “Get that look off your face. I’m over you.”

She wasn’t yet but he wasn’t about to insult her by telling her that.

“You should get her something that says how much she’s on your mind. Be it an obvious sign or something more subtle. I’d actually like it if someone got me something with Sakura branches, since they’re so hard to get out of season.”

Hinata’s name meant sunny place and he always thought she was like sunshine whenever she smiled. He’d avoided sunflowers since they died quickly but it fit her. He spotted lavender and made his decision. He turned to Sakura, who like he thought, looked uncomfortable.

“Thanks.”

“She had better love this.”

At least she still cared about his happiness, even if it wasn’t with her.

“Are you sure you don’t want to come?”

“No. I have the tickets to the Red Data Animal exhibit. It’s going on most of the day.  Just…good luck.”

                                          _____________________

“What was his problem?” Ino wondered, dropping herself onto Hinata’s bed. The girls had invited themself over to Hinata’s after she offered Sakura to borrow a dress for her team dinner date with Naruto. They had arrived just as Hinata’s cousin and near brother Neji was leaving. He had his gaze focused in his book, barely saying a word to Hinata other than asking her to move out of the way.

“It doesn’t matter.” Hinata said, picking up a remote and hitting a button, watching the other’s jaws drop as a set of doors slid open and revelled a walk-in closet. “Choose whichever one you want.”

“Holy crap! This place is bigger than my apartment!” Ino cried, getting up and leading Sakura and TenTen inside. Cinna, her Shiba Inu, slipped inside and followed the noise, causing TenTen to cry in glee and beg for her attention. She watched her friends look at the clothes, Sakura paying attention to the dresses until she pulled a pink Silke dress down.

“Would this be appropriate?”

“I wore that to a restaurant opening. The owner’s wife complimented me on it. As long as it’s not too short, I think it’s fine. Take it with you and try it on. If it’s too big, you can text me and I can bring something else.” Hinata promised.

“Thank you!” Sakura slipped it off the hanger, draping the dress over her arm and putting the hanger back when she spotted something. 

Shadowboxes, full of dried bouquets. There were dates and names on them and it took a moment to realize why the names looked familiar. They were orchestra pieces.

“Did you do these?” everyone gathered at the wall that was nearly completely full of the shadowboxes. “Were these for the performances you did with the Symphony Orchestra?”

“Yeah. I got a bouquet after every performance since Juniors.”

“Damn, your parents love you.” Ino said, staring up at all them.

“Oh, no. My parents didn’t give these to me. My…um, well we’re not dating but only because our families are being picky about it. But we perform together. He plays violin First Chair.”

“Is he cute?” Ino asked.

“He has said he wants to date you right? You know guys who aren’t committed will use any excuse.” TenTen warned.

But she didn’t need to worry, Sakura knew that for sure, staring at a familiar looking bouquet of sunflowers and lavender, the next one after being lavender and burgundy roses. She didn’t know meanings, but she knew roses. Sasuke was very committed and the minute his family stopped digging their heels about it - or in all honesty he stopped waiting for their permission - everyone would know how he felt.

No restrictions, "problematic" content is also allowed. The one rule is that I won't serve explicit sexual content to minors, please show your age if you ask for that.

The Maid Cafe at the End of the World

(A wip intro)

6 incarnations of death are tasked with training up the newest member of their ranks, but it’s hard to make time for destiny when you’re already anxious about school, the future, and your part-time job at a cosplay cafe.

Blend-S meets Lego Ninjago with a heaping side of existential angst. Or if Tokyo Mew Mew got tired of being nice and decided to go apeshit.

Genres: Slice of life, urban fantasy, workplace comedy

The coffee shop au fanfic of a biology textbook

The title is a Douglas Adams reference

The cafe itself is called Earthly Delights

Yes, there will be supernatural time travel-y shenanigans

Every minor character is based on a fossil species. Because?? I thought it would be fun

Scientific accuracy? … Dubious at best

Ultimately hopeful

Excited to finally introduce this wip!! Will it be a series of tv scripts? A comic? Not even I know! All I know is I’ve been sitting on this idea ever since I realized “KT” sounded like it could be a person’s name, and that it’s exactly the sort of educational/tongue in cheek/hopepunk story I wish I had growing up. I hope I get to share more of this world soon!!

Starting a taglist, let me know if you’d like to be added!

[nonasidesstuff]

the dimension travel au

aka Virgil’s terrible, horrible, no good, very bad week

so this is like half bullet fic half outline half word vomit but here it is!

this is based on a set of art drawn by @greenninjagal-blog that you can find here with the original version of this au

i dont mind if anyone wants to use any of these ideas just tag me/send me a link if you do!

this got SUPER LONG so its going under a cut

ok lets start with

virgil

his world is medieval-with-magic

the magic here tends to take on different elemental forms depending on the user

people who use magic are called witches

his is storm based (lightning, rain, wind, etc) and is good for both offense (shooting fucking LIGHTNING at someone is great in a fight) and gardening (the ability to call rain at will is pretty nice)

he can also make potions but in his world ANYONE with magic can make potions

the thing is,,,,, magic is illegal in the kingdom he lives in

so when he found out he had magic at like age 11 he fucked off in the middle of the night

he found another witch (a water witch) fairly soon after he left and they taught him how to control his powers and how to make potions

also how to hunt bc hed planned on living out of cities

5 years later hes 16 and has learned all he could and leaves to go to the woods in the middle of nowhere

his teacher had told him about a cottage they had built in a clearing in the woods and said he could go there bc they were leaving the kingdom

they left behind a lot of books on magic and he learned more reading those

the cottage was actually in pretty good shape? the roof was a little leaky but the furniture inside was fine

the outside was a nightmare though. overgrown plants all over

as the years went on he restored the area around the cottage and found a bunch of neat stuff

like a vegetable garden that had been overgrown and wild but still had healthy plants he could cultivate for food. there were also some spice plants that had gone out of control that he harvested and dried for later use

he found out the woods around his home were full of berries (wild strawberries and blackberries. shhhhhh idc if they dont grow in the same places this is a Magic World) and discovered that one of the trees in the clearing was actually an apple tree so yay fruit!!!!

so he was living the good life

cut to 3 years later

hes 19 now and a full-blown weather witch and potion maker

he has sectioned off his garden into 3 parts: spices, vegetables, and potions ingredients

unfortunately some ingredients just wont grow well in a garden and have to be harvested from the wild

virgil realizes hes running low on a couple of said ingredients and decides to make a run to the patches of potion herbs he knows of

he only gets halfway there

a swirling blue-and-yellow vortex opens up 20 feet in the air to the right of him and something falls out

something human shaped

holy shit its a PERSON

he rushes over to make sure this person is okay and.

they have reddish brown fox ears?????

and a reddish brown and grey tail????????

he pokes one of the ears and it twitches

holy shit theyre REAL????!!!!!!!!!

he gathers up this person and takes them home

he puts the strange person in his bed and tends to the minor injuries they obtained from falling 20 feet

this is when he realizes that this person is dressed,,,,,, very strangely

now, people in virgil’s world have some freedom in what they can wear. they can wear whatever the FUCK they want. virgil is partial to dresses and skirts himself

but what this person is wearing is different. the material was like nothing hed ever seen before and in a strange style

(it suits him. its really cute)

he slept for a little over 9 hours

(virgil slept on the floor)

and when he woke he was disoriented and woozy

so he ate a small meal and drank some water and fell back to sleep for another couple hours

when he wakes again, he feels much better and is able to introduce himself

“I’m Patton Baker! Where am I?”

patton

his world is like if you took every single magical girl/boy anime out there and mashed it into one world.

so its chaotic

theres aliens/demons/monsters attacking every other week

this attracts magical creatures like a magnet and they start giving magical girls/boys powers. these are called magical guardians

these people are public figures and are treated the same way idols are in our world (not allowed boyfriends/girlfriends etc)

its a tough job

patton became a magical boy when he was 14 and has been for the past 3 years

the powers his magical guardian are able to give are based off of endangered or threatened animals (yes im sort of copying tokyo mew mew shhhhhhhhhh)

patton became infused with the dna of the island fox

his transformation is triggered by a small tattoo-like marking given to him by his guardian. it’s on the base of his neck

he Absolutely has a magical girl transformation

when he’s transformed, he has the ears and tail of an island fox as well as claw-like nails. his hair is the reddish-brown of the fox and his eyes are silver

his outfit is light blue with silver and white accents and dark blue sleeves

when detransformed he has blond hair and blue eyes

his magical boy weapon is a bow that he can shoot arrows of light from

his group was based out of florida and has been going strong for about 15 years. magical teens come and go as they gain their powers and retire or, tragically, lose their lives fighting

at the moment there are six people including patton

their most recent foe is a monster that has the ability to make people and things disappear, and they’re not sure what happens to them

theyre fighting this thing at night when it happens. the creature has already taken the streetlights out and the teens are fighting in heavy darkness. patton, who has better night vision due to his fox genes, sees the monster about to grab the leader, and strongest, of their group

and he makes a choice

he pushes her out of the way and gets grabbed by the monster instead.

there’s a single moment of searing pain and then the world dissolves into swirling lights and dizziness

when he wakes he’s in a strange house. he introduces himself and the person who’s taking care of him introduces himself

he’s told he fell out of some sort of portal and virgil tries to help him figure out where he is in relation to his home but. virgil doesnt recognize any of the places patton is talking about. and patton doesnt recognize any of the ones virgil says

virgil asks patton about the fact that He Is Part Fox and patton talks about the magical system back home and thats when they realize theyre dealing with dimension travel

patton stays in bed for the rest of the day and by the next hes feeling much better! so he helps virgil around the house and they get to know each other

the day after that, virgil remembers that he really needs those herbs, so he tells pat hes going out for a bit to gather them

he gets about a quarter of the way there when Another Portal Opens and dumps out a person. this time right in front of him

this person is also wearing odd

clothing, but in a different style than pattons

he checks to make sure theyre not injured (they knocked their head a bit but other than that seem fine) and carries them back home

the person is unconscious in virgil’s bed for a couple of hours longer than patton was, but he wakes up entirely coherent

he introduces himself as “logan croft”

logan

his world is one full of magic

magical creatures of all sorts live there and magic is a welcome part of society

there’s elves, fairies, merfolk, unicorns, any you can think of

magical schools are also big parts of it

people who have mastered their magic to the highest degree are called mages

everyone else are called wizards

the way magic works in this world is with spells (think harry potter but without wands)

some people are born with more magic than others and as such have a harder time controlling it when it manifests at around 10

so theyre sent to magic schools where they learn how to safely do so

if they want to stay at these schools after they learn control then they move on to higher forms of magical education to continue learning

logan is one of these students

he was born with a MASSIVE amount of magic and when it manifested he. accidentally leveled his house

everyone was fine!!!!!!! but the poor boy had absolutely no control

so he stayed at a school for people with high amounts of magic and by the time he was 13 he had enough control to leave if he wanted to

of course this being logan he Absolutely wanted to keep learning so he moved on

he was so good actually that he ended up in the best magic academy in the world

he consistently learned magic at a faster rate than his peers and so by the time he was 18 (people normally didnt until they were like 21/22) he was a mage in all but name

so he was ready to take his mage exam

the mage exam is considered both easy and the hardest and most dangerous thing you could do

its easy in the fact that you only have to cast a spell correctly

its hard and dangerous bc its a spell that NO ONE outside of historians have ever seen before and you only have 10 minutes to memorize it. things go wrong Frequently

needless to say there arent many mages and people tend to either quit before reaching that stage or fail

and failure can be painful

so logan decides to take the mage exam

the spell they are given is a long string of words dug out of an ancient book of spells and historians arent entirely sure what it does

so ofc its given to the best in the academy

logan takes his ten minutes to memorize the spell and begins chanting

now in this world, when spells are used a runic circle made of light appears under the person casting

small spells have small circles and bigger spells have larger and brighter ones

the one this spell called forwards was massive and so bright that it blinded the exam practitioners (i think thats the word?)

when the light died down logan was gone

theyre unsure whether it went right or wrong but unfortunately theres no trace of where logan had gone so theres no way to see

when he wakes hes somewhere he doesnt recognize and is being taken care of by two people

they all introduce themselves and logan gets the story about what happened to him

and he realizes hes in a different dimension with different magical rules

naturally he wants to learn everything

so he and virgil have long discussions about the differences in their magic systems

(with patton chiming in every once in a while with how bonkers magical girl powers are)

after logan gets back on his feet virgil really REALLY needs those herbs and so he decides to go back out

logan tags along this time bc he wants to see the differences between the flora and fauna of this new world

they get about half way there and once again.

a portal opens

its light blue and yellow

virgil goes “jesus christ AGAIN??????? am i a MAGNET for these things??????????”

and a person falls out

theyre another animal person. this time with scales covering the side of their face and down their arms

virgil and logan carry this whole other person back home and as soon as they walk in

patton is like “janus????!!!!!”

janus

turns out

janus is from pat’s world!!!! and the same mg group!!!!!

he became a magical boy about a year before pat did and was merged with the dna of a golden lancehead viper

so hes been a mg for like 4 years

his outfit is white with yellow bows and a black cape thing with a yellow inside. his scales are bright yellow and his eyes are heterochromatic. one is a normal eye (brown) and the other is a bright gold color with a snake-like pupil

his marking is on the inside of his left wrist

his weapon is a set of knives made of light that he can call at will and either slash with or throw

he and patton got along rather well in the current time

in the past, they,,,, didnt

it wasnt violent but they were kinda snippy at each other and janus was aggressively sarcastic which pat Did Not Appreciate

but after working together for a few years they got to know each other better and saw each other through low points in their lives and became close

janus was still a sarcastic little shit but now its more playful

he likes to suggest “pushing it down a flight of stairs” for any problem

“man i have a big math test tomorrow with a mean teacher that i didnt study for im screwed”

“push it down the stairs”

“the teacher or the test?”

“yes”

he will also aggressively remind you that Self Care Is Good And Needed

(“patton youve been patrolling for hours every night this week. go sleep”

“but i-“

“go 👏 to 👏 sleep 👏”

“bu-“

“go sleep or im going to knock you unconscious and THEN youll sleep”

“ok fine”)

anyways the dimension monster came back and despite the whole group being more careful, it got janus

luckily (to every one else) this time they managed to defeat it

once again, the pain of dimensional travel fucking SUCKED and janus was unconscious for about as long as patton was

he woke and ate a small meal and fell back asleep for like an hour

when he woke up that time he was shocked and happy to see patton

they reunite and everyone gets to know each other over the next couple days

and then virgil remembers that he STILL HASNT GOTTEN HIS HERBS and they all decide to tag along when he leaves to get them

virgil just like sighs and said “nothing better happen this time i swear to god-“

and they make it most of the way there!!!!! virgil feels a little hope!!!!

then another portal opens

its red and green

(virgil: “GODDAMMIT”)

this time TWO people fall out

the group gather up the two portal people and take them home to heal bc

holy shit they are in bad condition

theyre unconscious for a solid 2 days

Roman and remus

their world is BAD yall

the world is very scientifically advanced, and a group if scientists decided that they wanted to prove the existence of alternate universes

and they did!

but they accidentally opened a portal to a hell dimension and they couldnt close it

so the whole world became an apocalyptic nightmare

this happened when the twins were 15

theyve been surviving on their own in an apocalyptic hellscape for just over 4 years now

remus is the close range fighter with a variety of Large Sharp Knives and roman hangs back and snipes the ones going in for remus’ blind spots with a modified rifle. or if he has to fight closer range he has a modified pistol

roman also is the one to carry their medical supplies bc remus did Once and never will again

they travel together bc even though they cant stand each other some days (remus makes gross comments a Lot and roman likes to complain about the lack of conditioner)

(roman once found an old bottle of perfume and dumped it on remus’ head. in retaliation, when they were relatively safe remus found a dead squirrel and chased roman around with it for a solid 15 minutes)

theyre still twins and theyre all each other have left

currently, roman and remus are running from a creature that caught them off guard while they were sleeping

it had managed to get a few good hits on them before they managed to fight back so they both have a couple injuries

roman has a long slice down his arm and remus has some real bad claw marks down his back

the two of them find a building they can hide in while they wait for the creature to move on and discover that its some sort of science lab

they decide to explore for a bit bc they have 0 braincells between the two of them

what they dont realize is that this is one of the labs that the scientists were using to build their dimensional machines

what they do realize is that the monster found them and it starts chasing them through the facility

the two of them are in really bad shape

malnourished after living on just what they can find for 4 years, both bleeding profusely from open wounds and various injuries from other run-ins with the creatures

they arent able to run as fast as they usually are able and so they get cornered in a room with a large machine

they back up to it to stay away as long as they can and

one of them presses a button

the machine behind them whirrs to life and the two are sucked into a portal oh so similar to the one that ruined the lives of everyone on their world

roman wakes first

he wasnt hurt as badly as remus so the portal didnt take as much out of him as remus

everyone introduces themselves and roman has the his first full meal in. a long time

(he might cry a lil bit but shhhhhhh)

and now that hes awake, virgil can give him a potion to help speed up his healing

thats when romans like “holy shit MAGIC?????”

bc there was none on his world

and they all talk and get to know each other

(the other four are Horrified at how awful his world was

bc like, patton and janus’ wasnt very good either but it wasnt an apocalypse

the next day virgil leaves logan in charge and FINALLY goes and gets his GODDAMN HERBS

nothing happens this time :)

and when he gets back remus is awake

hes fed and virgil gets him a potion too

the two heal and just kind of marvel at the fact theyre safe for the first time in years

also that theres GODDAMN MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!

they still can’t believe theres actual magic

the five dimension hoppers eventually meet thomas, virgil’s talking magic cat

(virgil: “he can think and talk like a human hes not my cat”

thomas: “im totally your cat stop denying it”)

he decided to wander around the forest for a while (he does this often) and only got back after all of the portal shit ended

he is the only cat with magic and says he ALSO fell out of a portal but it was a few years before he met virgil

i dont really know what happens after this

maybe they go try to figure out how to get home?

maybe they decide to stay and live in the woods for the rest of their lives

 maybe they decide “you know what? FUCK the government” and stage a coup to make magic legal

 whichever it is definitely has a lot of found family goodness

can you tell i started running out of steam like 3/4 of the way through

Nerves Does Bad Things Happen Bingo (Take 2)

WARNING: MOST OF THESE PROMPTS RELATE DIRECTLY TO DEAD DOVE CONTENT, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO VIOLENCE (PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, SEXUAL) SEVERE PHYSICAL HARM, AND SUICIDE. PLEASE SCROLL PAST IF YOU ARE DISTURBED OR TRIGGERED BY ANY OF THESE THINGS. ADDITIONALLY, MINORS DNI.

So. I did get a few requests sent to me back when I first decided to do BTHB, but I have had a hard time finding inspiration for the ones that I’ve been sent. That’s no one’s fault but my own, I should have anticipated that having the prompts be so vague would be insufficient for me to be inspired, as that’s usually how it goes with my picky brain. That being the case, I’m reposting this with some addendums and new guidelines.

1) I will be taking prompts primarily for Tales of Arcadia, The Dark Crystal, and Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated. Additionally, I am open to prompts for Better Call Saul, She-Ra: Princesses of Power, Legend of Korra, Avatar: the Last Airbender, and Tokyo Mew Mew.

2) If requesting a prompt, please send in a ship and/or AU. If you want to stack additional prompts with your request, please feel free to do so! The prompts that I’ve added were randomly generated from this meme, which you are welcome to pick from as well.

3) I have particular tropes and ships that I like, but you don’t have to adhere to those. Under the cut I’ve included a list of ships I like if you’re looking for inspiration!

4) I of course have my limits, and there are a few things that I will not write. I do not want to write anything related to pregnancy, and I am not interested in baby/child fics. I might write hurt/comfort under the right circumstances, but overall I’m not particularly interested in it and so I’m likely to skip that aspect of any request. Additionally, here is a list of particular characters/ships I WILL NOT write. Please keep in mind that I am not passing judgement on those who like any of these characters or ships, they just simply are not my cup of tea or I don’t feel inclined to write them.

Damn that’s a lot lol1. When did you write your first fanfiction?I was 10 or 11 when I posted my first fic (so 13 or 14 years ago) 2. What fandom was your first fic for? What/who was it about? My first fic was for Naruto. All I really remember about it was getting a minor evil character I really liked to meet Naruto, fall in love with him, and leave her evil ways behind when he showed her she could be better3. What was the first fanfiction you ever read?Good lord I have no idea lmao I’ve been reading fics for like 14 years. It would’ve been a Sakura x Sasuke fic I know that, that’s how I learned what fanfiction was to begin with5. Favourite pairing?My favourite pairing will always be Zakuro x Minto from Tokyo Mew Mew7. Favourite type of au?I really like soulmate AUs8. Aus or canon?I prefer reading and writing fics that follow canon in some way, but some AUs are really cool11. Fluff, smut, or angst?Fluff and angst!13. Weirdest fic you’ve ever read?Honestly I’m not sure, I haven’t read one that I’d consider “weird” in a long ass time19. How do you feel about PWP (porn without a plot)?It’s chill. It’s an easy way for people to let out their fantasies lol I don’t read a lot of them though21. Your biggest strength?Writing dialogue and describing how my characters feel25. Of all the fics you’ve written, which is your favorite?I’m still really proud of Connection, a RWBY fic of mine30. Favorite fic writers?I don’t really keep track of who writes what if I’m honest so I don’t have any favourites34. First person, second person, or third person?I always prefer writing and reading in the third person37. Which character is your favorite to write for?I mean, a lot lol I’m apart of many different fandoms and I’ve written for many different fandoms. Minto from Tokyo Mew Mew and Max from Life is Strange I’ve always found very easy to write for though. I really like writing for Cinder from RWBY too, though she is more challenging. I’ve also learned recently that I LOVE writing for Junko from Danganronpa40. Imagine yourself 10 years in the future; do you think you’ll still be writing fic?Well I’ve been writing fics for over 10 years already, so I have no doubt I’ll still be writing them 10 more years from now

Callout Response

(Contains reference to many triggering items including mentions of pedophilia, transphobia, homestuck, racism. I am simply trying to make amends and clear up miscommunications. If you are okay with continuing....)

I am going to go through all the things mentioned in the call out and give my defenses, apologies or other statements on the regards to these. I am sorry if my wording is very poor here, as I started this at 1 am and worked on it across a few days with review from friends. I had asked for someone to also get me a list of my offenses from someone I know is a part of the callout but they didn’t get back to me with it so I may have missed things.

"Aging up a Minor for NSFW Content" and "Transphobia"

I can understand how me making NSFW content of a character build off of/inspired by a minor would make people extremely uncomfortable. When this was brought to my attention, I deleted the art in question on my main. I have no interest or intent on making further lewd art using Oe/Oeya, or any lewd art at all for that matter. (Should merevent return, I will likely create a new event muse entirely). After having it brought further to my attention, I feel nothing but regret for making it at all. I had thought that establishing him as much more different than his inspiration and making his age clear would keep this from being a problem but it appears that I was mistaken.

The transphobia I can also understand how people could see it, as I was toying with their shape shift ability in one of my first attempts at NSFW art. I deeply apologize if this experimentation made anyone reading this uncomfortable: know that it will never happen again. I am not transphobic.

To whoever in the ring of callout anons is distributing one or both of the deleted pieces of art, please stop.

"Homestuck Crimes"

I acknowledge that Homestuck has problematic elements. I understand that to some or even many that the negative outweighs the positive aspect. Homestuck also has a lot of creative elements that I like exploring. I properly tag Homestuck and those of the Homestuck AU I used for Bethesjo with "-character name- (HS)", to try and make it easy to avoid. If I mistag, I am open to people telling me so I may add the desired tags.

To repeat: I do not support many of the views expressed in Homestuck, but find some of the positive core aspects enjoyable, inspiring, or simply fun to mess with. It is something I enjoy, even with its problematic points and I apologize for making continual use of it for inspiration and ideas.

"Racism in making bestial / feral event versions of a PoC muse"

I, again, am very sorry for this. I tend to go wild with ideas for these events and create things without thinking of major implications.

When I made CnC Okuyasu an orc, I simply felt that it clicked. I always enjoyed Orcs aesthetically! The uncontrolled magic played into a favorite fantasy trope of mine, so I decided to use that too. When I created Oe, I, in all honesty, was just trying very hard to avoid drawing fish in any capacity or arms and had recently watched Moana. (Once again, I will likely create a new muse should merevent return for round 3) Magical Girl event Okuyasu was inspired by the combination of Tokyo Mew Mew and part of Magical Girl Apocalypse (that too having problematic things but I could not overlook them in their quantity, causing me to drop interest in the manga itself but not its concept). The Okuyasu embedded with the flesh bud (Okuyasu (Dio) in my tagging) was spawned by an art meme, but I grew to enjoy the idea. His minimal time shown due to lack of asks for him also paint him in a low point that does not reflect their state most of the time. When I created Nijimi, I wanted to play off the idea of deities being shaped by the human idea of them, using Okuyasu's money imagery to create a deity of charity turned into a beast of greed. (Should the deity event return, I will try and create a new muse for it: not only in light of this, but because I am unsure what else I can do with them and Nicho.) WoF Okuyasu was born from my interest in Mr. Nijimura's condition in context of undeath, wanting to do something similar with WoF Okuyasu while also playing with other tropes. The former Stand Infection event Okuyasu, now dubbed Ghost in the Machine, was meant to be a play in the unpredictable nature not only of glitches but someone hyped on caffeine. He also was the result of working with dio-theshitpost-brando and I was pulling too from their concepts. The new Stand Infection Okuyasu being identified with a number as shown in a few art memes was inspired by the SCP Foundation, not the holocaust or anything of the like. I know no one mentioned this in any call out material but I know that it would likely be used out of context too should I avoid acknowledging it.

As I hopefully go further into the future, I will try and think more of the implications of this, under all of the AUs, is a PoC minor. Again, I am sorry for causing any offense.

"The Cow Incident"

I will say that I should have been more firm but I will say that I view the general idea of adding horns, ears, and tail does not inherently make something negative, mostly the context or the content being made with this concept. The blogs, from my understanding, made multiple references to the act of milking, which then makes it awkward and uncomfortable. Making a direct comparison between PoC and cattle is also bad. Doing it simply for a cute design or without ill intent, in my eyes, is okay. I'm sorry if my stance still remains unclear or poorly worded or if you disagree.

"Comment Deletion and ignoring asks"

For those commenting on my YouTube channel, I did not do so because I was afraid or being overly defensive. I had stated my stances, apologies and regrets in other replies and felt like I was not being listened to and hounded. I deleted these comments and asks for the sake of my mental health, as I had fallen into a depressive episode at the large wave of angry anons.

Comments and asks deleted in the beginning of the cow incident were deleted to keep the discourse off The Hand blog and to minimize further asks on the matter, as it was 2 am at the time and I was getting very stressed over it.

“Headcanoning a Minor as Ace”

The funny thing is, I don’t headcanon Okuyasu as ace. As for saying that having headcanons of this nature is sexualizing minors I will say this: it depends on the age. Headcanon, say, a 6 year old as bi or gay or what have you seems a bit off but the teenage years are often when one discovers the labels for themselves and grows to be comfortable with them. Understanding your orientation is not inherently about someone having sex, but understanding what you as an individual find attractive in one way shape or form. I, myself, am ace. I used Okuyasu as my icon on my main for a long while now. I put Okuyasu with the ace flag for my main blog’s profile pic because I am proud to be ace and Okuyasu is who I associate with. Not to turn the gun, but the suggestion that headcanoning a character as ace is seen as worse than any other orientational headcanon is rather aphobic.

I am trying to improve myself every day. I want my blogs to be nice places, not just for me, but for the visitors. I had no ill intent when doing anything, but I also was unaware of the severity of the implications of my work. I am open to criticism and reminders to tag or rework things, but please be mindful that I’m only human and prone to human error and lapses in judgement. I also can try my damndest to fix what wrongs I have done.

I am going to let this circulate for a few days and then hopefully I can turn on anon once again without large waves of anger. I am sorry and I hope WE won’t have to do this again. - Z

The last of my Aus (for now) part 2

Ok only ten left so I can talk about them more. Personally out of all the underdeveloped ones I like these ten quite a bit. I'll probably say the pairings for a couple of these stories just because I don't have to list as many of them. Without further ado lets start.

Classics zoo Au- I have like a couple classic novels (like alice in wonderland, Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, etc) and wanted a universe where the bbs bios were some of these characters interacting with eachother. The list goes as follows.

Vanoss/Dorian Gray

Delirious/peter pan

Nogla/cowardly lion

Miniladd/cheshire cat

Wildcat/Dorothy

Terroriser/the queen of hearts

Moo/wicked witch (of the west)

Basically/tin man

407/scarecrow

Panda/glinda

Cartoonz/mad hatter

Ohm/Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Squirrel/dormouse

Gorillaphent/march hare

Lui/the wizard

Smitty/alice

Kryoz/frankenstien's monster

Pairings-

Kritty

The main plot of this au would center around the country of Oz and Wonderland in a cold war type of situation. The main character is Smitty and its gen/rom. If you watched marcels yellow brick road fortnite challenge you'll see why certain bois are certain characters.

Poco's udon world Au- ok this one needs some explaining. If you haven't seen poco's udon world its about this workaholic dude who comes back to his hometown to seytle his dead fathers affairs and he ends up taking care of a baby tanuki demon that can look lile a human. Its very cute and emotional and it you haven't watched it I totally reccomend it. Anyway I really wanted a story where some of the guys suddenly have to take care of children of various ages that aren't human. I'll list the names of the guys affected but nothing about thier demon kids.

Vanoss

Delirious

Wildcat

Panda

Ohm

Squirrel

There are no pairings because I wanted it to focus on how they would react to taking care of children.

Soul eater Au- the events of this au are happening years after the events of the soul eater anime/manga so while characters from it might make camoes or be referenced they aren't part of the plot. I will be changing a few things from the canon of the soul eater universe to make this au work but I'm hoping it doesn't feel alien to people who know the original material. The main character is ohm and it is rom/gen rated (theres not many pairings but they play a big role). I won't say anything about the main pairing (other than its a three way relationship).

Pairings-

BasicallyIdowildcat

Oc pairings

Minx and her wife (minor pairing)

Tokyo Mew Mew Au- in a previous list I mentioned that I changed the uniforms for the sailor moon au because I kept them the same in a different one, well this is that one. I'm keeping the magical girl outfits the same with minor color/shape changes and changing alot of the names (of the guys and thier attacks) the main character of this story is moo because if anyone deserves to be a cat magical girl its him (when I was thinking of this au I wasn't sure if I should keep him a cat or change it, but I fell in love with the idea because of nightfox's and jhanyartist's art of neko moo) its romantic rated. If you want to get an idea of what they will look like in this au look up the anime and you'll get a pretty good idea.

Wicked/Demonick Au- I'm a big fan of musical theatre I love the stories, the songs, some of the messages so its no surprise that when I was listening to the Wicked soundtrack while working on another au I thought of this one. The main character is cartoonz as elphaba and its gen rated (there is a main pairing but if you've heard the play it doesn't impact the story till near the end).

Pairings-

Mootoonz

Ohmlirious

Steven universe Au- I was actually really hesitant to try and work on this au because I saw someone else on Tumblr (I don't remwmber who) make one and it looked really cool. I thought they could do a way better job at it than I could, but then I thought eh people write stories based on the same prompt all the time and it works because they make it thier own unique thing and i can do the same. I won't write down who's who but the main character is Marcel. Its gen/rom rated.

These four next Aus were actually some of the first ones I thought of.

HaniHaki Au- I'm gonna list the bois and let you make your own conclusions.

Vanoss/patient

Delirious/patient

Nogla/patient

Basically/doctor

407/patient

Panda/normal

Terroriser/patient

Moo/doctor

Ohm/normal

Squirrel/patient

Cartoonz/normal

Gorillaphent/doctor

Miniladd/nurse

Bryce/normal

Wildcat/nurse

Lui/normal

This idea actually has a lot fleshed out and I want to start making an outline for it. It just never feels like the right time too tho. I'm still gonna try though because its feeled with angst and fluff and I love that stuff.

Trapped in the can Au- the name says what it is. I haven't worked on this one very much. Hopefully i get in the mood to at some point.

Pairings-

Vanogla

Pandacat

Daycare Au- ok so i did see that someone else made an Au called the daycare au so I will be changing the make but it still takes place mostly at a daycare. Its a very cute idea exploring the different types of family that exist.

Pairings- (none of these pairings involve small children and one of the pairings is a teen/teen ship)

Ohmtoonz

BasicallyIdo407

Rich and famous Au- basically if some of these guys weren't youtube celebrities but instead different kinds (actors, singers, etc)

Pairings-

Tyvan

BasicallyIdoH2o

Miniriser (this one will be changed because of the current real life tension between these two I just haven't decided how yet)

We've finally reached the end of the entire list and I couldn't be happier. I will be working on multiple Aus more frequently now so that no new ones pop up. Hopefully I can start adding more to the ready to be written pile amd make progress on the two stories being written right now (I am actually making progress on EF Angel and sleeping beauty chapter 7)

[mahou-furbies]

I like reading magical girl manga, but unfortunately I’m not able to find that many. So I thought I’d check what else authors for well known magical girl manga have been up to outside that particular story. Mostly counting larger/more notable stories, I’m not going through every one short or series attempt that was canned after one volume.

Naoko Takeuchi (Sailor Moon, 1991-1997)

I thought she had done practically no manga after Sailor Moon ended, but it turns out I was wrong and she does have some very short works until the early 2000s (but after that I couldn’t find anything else form her other than work different Sailor Moon projects). However most of the stuff that’s listed for her is just one shots or one or two volumes at most, and nobody ever speaks of them. The only one I know is PQ Angels (1997), which is about two alien girls who try to live as schoolgirls and are able to transform into cockroaches, but it was pretty forgettable and was apparently discontinued because of Kodansha losing some pages of it.

Mia Ikumi (The artist for Tokyo Mew Mew, 2000-2002)

Has made only one longer work after TMM, Koi Cupid (2005-2008), which seems to be about 3 trainee cupids trying to become full-fledged angels. Fantasy, but doesn’t look like it fits in my definition of magical girls. Also only one volume has been published in English.

The TMM Writer, Reiko Yoshida, has been involved with writing anime starting from 1989 and continuing even today (Wikipedia lists her role as ‘script’, ‘script supervisor’ or ‘screenplay’ in works like Dragon Ball Z, Digimon Adventure, Angelic Layer, Sugar Sugar Rune, K-ON!, Bakuman, Silent Voice and Violet Evergarden). Couldn’t find any notable manga work from her outside writing TMM.

Moyoco Anno (Sugar Sugar Rune, 2003-2007)

My favourite magical girl manga! And unlike Ikumi, Anno has produced plenty of manga after Sugar Sugar Run too, but unfortunately none of it is magical girls. Or for girls in general either; most of her other work seems to be aimed at grown up readers, such as Hataraki Man (2004-2009), Happy Mania (1996-2001) and In Clothes Called Fat (1997), which feature 20-something women who struggle with various issues in their life. Sakuran (2001-2003), Memoirs of Amorous Gentlemen (2013-2018) and Buffalo 5 Girls (2013) are about prostitution. Then there’s Flowers and Bees (2000-2003), Jelly in the Merry-Go-Round (1997-?) and Jelly Beans (1999-2002) which are about fashion or modeling which work with Anno’s strengths, since she’s amazing at designing clothes.

Moonlight Himejion (2007-?) is a little closer to what I’m looking for since it’s at least fantasy, but it seems to have been discontinued after one volume, but overall I could find very few works that had any fantasy elements. Which is a real shame since I’d love to see more fabulous magic outfit designs similar to Sugar Sugar Rune from Anno.

Peach-pit (Shugo Chara!, 2005-2010)

The duo behind Rozen Maiden (2002-2007) and its au stories, spin-offs and whatnot. Other than the story about fighting dolls which was pretty big back in its day they also have DearS (2001-2005), which looks like an ecchi magical girlfriend series to me, Zombie-Loan (2002-2011), which is a horror story involving you know what, and Kingyozaka Noboru (2012-2015), which has a teen girl helping a grade schooler (??? the MAL description is very unhelpful here), Wandering Wonder World (2014-2017) which is a shounen story about demons in an amusement park. Overall like with Anno their other works seem to be aimed at an older audiences and the colourful Shugo Chara! is more like an anomaly among their other titles.

Arina Tanemura

Has a lot of fantasy works with girls and magic, but I don’t count them all as magical girl series; for example I see Fullmoon o Sagashite as an idol story with fantasy elements (or maybe a fantasy story with idol elements?) rather than a magical girl one. Or maybe it’s just that I don’t care much for her works so I don’t have a lot of interest to feature them on this blog. Either way she has stuff like Time Stranger Kyoko (2000-2001), a short series that was clearly rushed to end about a princess who needs to gather 11 magic people to wake up her sleeping twin sister from an enchanted sleep, Kamikaze Kaitou Jeanne (1997-2000) which is about a magical girl phantom thief, and The Legend of Princess Sakura (2008-2012) which is about the moon princess Kaguya’s descendant in historical Japan. Who I probably should count as a magical girl, she even has a henshin, but honestly I remember next to nothing of the first volume. Meanwhile 31☆Idream (2013-) turns the “little girl must transform into an older version of herself to become a teen idol” thing around with a 31-year-old woman who has to revert back in age to do the same.

Out of her major works only the hilariously awful (fite me) Gentlemen’s Alliance Cross (2004-2008) doesn’t have any fantasy elements and is instead about rich kids’ teen drama.

Pink Hanamori (The artist for Mermaid Melody, 2002-2005)

Only has 3 other works listed on MAL: A Princess Knight (the Tezuka one)  sequel (2008-2009), Yume Yume You You (2005-2007), a story about a girl living in her sister’s shadow discovering another world in a mirror, and My Fiancé is a Monster!? (2007-2008), which looks like a supernatural romantic comedy. Nothing after 2009.

Like with TMM’s case the writer Michiko Yokote has worked on a billion anime projects (credited as ‘script’, ‘screenplay’ or ‘series compositor’), such as .hack, Binan Koukou Chikyuu Boueibu LOVE!, Gintama and Princess Tutu, but has no other manga listed other than a .hack adaptation.

CLAMP

Everyone knows CLAMP, and they have so many well known works that they don’t really belong to a “minor works from one-hit-wonder mangaka” list, but a magical manga list without even mentioning CLAMP would be badly incomplete so here they are anyway. And they are actively bringing out new magical girl manga to the world with the ongoing Clear Card arc of Cardcaptor Sakura, a sad rarity on this list! And then they of course also have Magic Knight Rayearth, and you can see Sakura and company in their massive multiverse crossover thing Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle (+xxxHolic). Also CLAMP’s absurdly incredible outfit catalogue is worth mentioning and especially Sakura’s wardrobe is such a gift to the world.

Other works from CLAMP include Angelic Layer, Chobits, Clover, Gate 7 and Kobato. A lot of their stuff has fantasy elements.

It appears that in the end my search for new magical girl manga was unsuccessful at least when it comes to these old veterans, so I must look elsewhere. I am able to find short trope-y otaku stuff, but I’d like a more straightforward story like TMM or Shugo Chara. What do the kids read nowadays? What is the TMM of today? Is great stuff being produced but just not translated to us Western barbarians, or do plenty of English versions exist but I’m just too lazy and inept to find it? Or are magical girls out of fashion and little girls only want to be idols?

[beedalee]

what are the stories/projects you work on or involved with?

EDIT 2019: FOR AN UPDATED LIST, GO HERE!

Oh gosh, it’s been a bit since I did a rundown of them… (I need to update my project lists tbh… ugh..) I’ve been working really hard on consolidating my characters and stories these last few years so I’m rightfully proud of my progress.. Even if no one can tell yet but me!! >8//); 

Despite how many we have, only a few of them I seriously want to bring to completion and/or publish first and foremost. The rest are really just for fun until I/we feel like they could become something bigger. Also, Dye has involvement in most of my stories whether it be a full collab or just helping!

It’s a long post… so, BELOW THE CUT WE GO!

Collaborations 

(with @dyemelikeasunset)

Ocean of Cycles: Our 4th Collab- Dye’s world-building project that I have the honor of helping flesh out. While we have our OCs and want to make it RPG ready for others to play in for fun, and we think making a book of the completed world-building someday would be fukken awesome, it’s largely a stress relief and creative outlet for Dye and I, so we’re not in a rush nor can Dye’s schedule allow for full-time work on it. Like Dye, I would like to do mini-comics about their adventures myself as well!!

Picture This Imagine That: (sorry this art is 4yrs old… T//w//T) Our third collaboration; Started small but became our means of reconciling our identities and coming out. After we came out some years ago, we put this one down to handle real life stuff and grow up a bit- but we do still fully intend to draw and publish their stories, we just took it offline and pulled back to a much more relaxed pace until it’s actually ready.

Solaris: Our second collaboration. Originally an Avatar: The Last Airbender fanstory, transplanted into an original universe. I’d really love to bring this one to life as a comic, but the plot hasn’t been finished yet! We love this one  to bits though and I’d consider it a likely choice down the road sometime.

White|Outlines: Technically our first collaboration, a soft slice of life about troubled supernatural teenagers. My branch in the same universe/highschool as Dye’s SalaDays story (No, the SD cast doesn’t really interact with mine)  I made this because Dye used to have the world open for RP, but we’ve long since closed it off. (That’s more geared toward OoC now) I don’t really have plans for pursuing this one outside of for fun!

Unlucky: A fun slice-of-life meets shounen kind of story set in a tightly knit chinatown. Dye helped create the bulk of this verse for a lot of homeless/floating OCS, like Quinn and Airi from my old beckoning cat magical girls team, Jake and Evelyn from anirangers, Tyberius and Farah from wwp’s “D’Amatos” godfather-parody show… stuff like that. It’s a bit more on the world-building side right now but I hope to draw things for it soon.

I also play around in or help with some of Dye’s more solo works like Kingdoms or Romaine Hearts, as well as a few offline projects that aren’t super involved/developed yet.

Magical Girls: 

(yes it gets its own section)

Forecasters:  My lovebaby of a story, featuring weather magical girls. My only active personal project that I want to make into a full blown webcomic right now. It’s 99.7% offline atm, I started this in 2013 after we put down PT. There’s still a lot to do, but I’m really excited about this one. It’s like my self-imposed college final project and/or legitimate story pitch I guess? I wanna post promo art for it so bad but I want at least the first two chapters drawn before that so bear with me…

Starless: Alien powered magical girls. Created from old (2008) tokyo mew mew OCs! The story’s been a bit ambiguous lately but I am very fond of this one and would consider it one I’d like to complete/draw for someday if the plot lets me WRITE IT lmao. Dye is helping me by adopting some of the characters!

Minor  MG Stories: (click the link in the last bullet to see pics of these)

“Book Keepers”: Literature theme college magical girls, collabed with Dye. Currently just a loose idea with really fun fleshed out OCs, but not a super high priority.

“Candyland”: NEW! Candy themed magical girls. A tentative title for a bunch of OCs I’ll be posting soon enough so I guess I’ll add them now. Some of them are old af, some are super new. They’re just an early concept and a bit of a style-experiment.

Cheers!: Drink-themed magical girls. A very old team I don’t really plan on doing anything with right now, just currently trying to redesign them to my liking.. -stares holes into them- LET ME LOVE YOU

Cosmic Club! another design prompt with no story.. YET…. I love them and they seem v popular so it’s possible! We’ll see how it goes.

Even more magical girls over here in this list but are all in a similar ‘concepts only at this time’ status (Lucky is on this list but is no longer a magical girl series)

My Projects:

Shards of Moon: A fateful fantasy epic about birds and songs. Formerly Anathema, the first fully fleshed out “serious” story I wrote… It was terrible! It was merged with another story that had no characters, so all my oldest OCs live here now. I’m very very fond of this one but I’m letting it percolate very slowly. It’s a far off goal for now, but it is shaping up to be a story I’d like to tell.

Sleep Tight: About a little girl and her boogeyman and conquering fear. The second story I wrote in high school. This one needs… a lot of rework and a bit of gutting- I haven’t decided the direction I wanna take it yet, but I don’t mind waiting. (I mean, look at what happened to Shards of Moon- I was so sure I’d trash that whole story and its characters.)

Superglue: I have like NO new art for this one yet lmao.. Young superheroes dealing with past actions they ran away from. A third high-school story that has changed so dramatically it’s not even remotely similar to its first version. It’s basically a baby story with old re-homed OCs in it because I felt sorry for them. ;w;;; I don’t know how far this one will take off yet but yeah

Others:

I’m gonna get ta’ play in @caiterprince​’s universes with Dye too, including the WIP Magical Girl Academy as a means to flesh out more magical girl designs (Eden is the most familiar, but I’ll have more soon), and a few cameos in Plainer in Hindsight and Weaver’s Debt eventually

Fancharacters like my SU gemsonas, my ponies, and my Tokyo Mew Mew OCs are purely for fun. If I want to write an original story about the characters (which has happened, see Solaris and Starless) I’d transplant them first.

I have a few other concepts laying around- placeholders like “fairyverse” or “spacewitchverse” where I throw similar-theme homeless OCs but don’t have a single story idea for, it’s just.. there. for now. So I won’t bother going over those. 

AUs (like elf gfs Band AU) don’t really count as separate unless they become canon. (i.e. what happened with Solaris)

If anyone’s really curious on the development of my worlds and ocs, I honestly highly taking a peek through my sketchdump folder on my DA. (start at the bottom, its infinite scroll) You can find pretty much everything I’ve ever conceptualized in these. I started to sort dumps by story- there’s actually quite a bit of storytelling / oc growth nestled in there if you’re into that sorta info-binging. I-I think it’s kinda fun tbh…. I do apologize in advance for any slurs or problematic wording you may find in the oldest dumps, I’ve been cleaning it over the years but might’ve missed something.

That’s about it for now! (-sweats violently- no more pls i have… too many children.. -wheezes and lays down-)
