#muse: Hootsie

[legendsofthewitchlight]

Modern/Human au: Hootsie

(FC: Ella Simone Tabu)

She really doesn't remember life before her Papa. She knows it existed, but she was two when he adopted her, so it's nothing she knows, though it seems he didn't exactly acquire her completely legally. Papa always told her that she hadn't been kept in good conditions, and knowing her Papa treated her so well and loved her so much, Hootsie believed him.

Hootsie's a smart kid. She loves plants and animals, especially birds and bears. She dreamed a lot about being an owl or a bear when she was very young, and her father was happy to play along. When she was old enough that she started to appreciate her father's religion, he even made her a talisman of bear teeth and owl feathers. It's her prized possession.

After moving to America when she was young, she and her Papa started living with Mr. Frost, a kind but strange man who her Papa really liked. He was like a Papa to her too... and soon she got uncles too. Two, then three! Well, even if Uncle Beck wasn't around long until coming back when she was 13. She loved all of them so dearly.

And she wanted to be just like them.

If we move in life as a pair... then maybe this world would become a little more fair...

PAPA'S GOT A NEW HYPERFIXATION INBOUND!!!!

OUAW With Insomniac!Reader

Request - can i request a Once Upon A Witchlight gang x insomniac reader?? ur OUAW cuddling x reader was so cute good heavens 🥺

. . .

. . .

Kremy Lecroux

- Kremy definitely went to bed before you cause he needs his “beauty sleep” and is beyond confused when he wakes up randomly to you not in bed like ??? Hello ???

- He’ll get up and go find you, trying his best not to startle you

- Will sit with you either in silence or chatting between the two of you

- Will 100% pull you into his arms so he can rest his head on top of yours

“Ya know, Gid used to not be able to sleep when we met.” Kremy gently traces his hands up and down your arms. There’s a soft rumble that comes from Kremy as he settles against your back. 

It wasn’t often that you got the softer side of Kremy even his voice was quiet. “Did you use your magic to put him to sleep?” You muse but when he doesn’t answer you laugh, getting a chuckle from him.

“Sometimes, yes. But only when he asked.” He left it at that, an open invitation for whenever you really needed to sleep but couldn’t, he’d have no problem asking you if you would kindly go to sleep.

Gideon Coal

- Will offer to knock you out as a joke and if you agree he doesn’t have the heart to do it and will just fake hit your head before saying how strong you are (will imply it’s cause he’s been giving you fighting lessons on the side)

- Having his fair share of insomnia, Gideon understands how hard it can be and is more than capable of staying up with you if you’ll have him

- Will tell you stories about him and Kremy’s travels to pass the time

“And then they had the nerve to call me a bitch, me!” He throws his arms up and then wraps them around you, huffing at the memory. Your hand runs up his arm, gaining his full attention. 

“What happened next?” You lean against him, playing with his hand in your lap. 

You can almost imagine the smirk on his face as he shifts. “Well I beat the living hell outta him obviously.” He laughs, “Guy was on the ground after the first punch.” 

Morning Frost

- Frost offers to make tea

- Will stay up as long as needed so you’re not lonely

-  You two will get into deep conversation while drinking your drinks, it becomes a regular thing over your time traveling together

“You should just open a tea shop.” You muse, sipping the drink. “I mean after we free ourselves of our mense amount of debt. Take it easy, just sell tea someplace in the mountains.”

“You’ve thought this out.” Frost notes.

“Got a lot of time to think when I’m not sleeping.”  You smile from beside him, Frost’s tail lays across your lap, allowing you to run a hand through every once in a while. He’s secretly hoping it’ll be enough to lure you to sleep so he can also sleep but he’s fine staying up for a little while longer if it’s with you.

Gricko Grimgrin

- Will go dad mode on you don’t think he won’t

- When he says it’s bedtime it’s bedtime even Hootsie knows that

- But when you can’t fall asleep and accidentally wake him up by turning for the 100th time, Gricko will roll on top of you

“What are you planning to accomplish here?” You can’t help but laugh at the Goblin now lying to you. Gricko yawns, snuggling closer to you as a hand raises to place a finger over your lips. 

“It’s bedtime [ your name] so I’m weighing down your thoughts with my body so you sleep.” While his logic didn’t totally make sense who were you to argue with him? Seeing you both awake, Hootsie will totally move in closer, now taking Gricko’s spot so that you’re officially stuck with him. 

“I can’t really argue can I?” Gricko shakes his head, making a noise as he begins to fall back asleep. He’s a little guy he needs his rest and honestly a weighted Goblin is probably a nice help with sleeping. 

Torbek

- 100% Will stay up with you as long as needed he’d rather talk with you than sleep and have nightmares sooo

- He’d totally make up games to wear you down though cause he does care about you 

- Will try to convince you that sleep is important even though you might not be able to help that you can’t sleep

“Torbek believes that we should sleep now, it’ll be tomorrow quicker.” You could laugh at his obvious statement had it not been the middle of the night and everyone else is sleeping away. There’s shifting and suddenly he’s pulling you to him and you’re wrapped up in his arms in bed.

“Believe me, I would love to sleep.” You mumble against him, feeling his hands trace shapes and soothe over your back. You can see the soft glow that comes from the Witchlight fill the room.

“Torbek will not leave, you can sleep.” His hold on you tightens as he holds you against him. You eventually do fall asleep and, true to his word, Torbek was in the same spot when you woke up, he had barely moved.

Re :The Baron Provides musings:

Obviously I want them to keep the eggs and give Hootsie some cousins

Ma and Gideon talking about his parents because I think she would be so motherly to him and he deserves that

I also really want them to find Kermie one day out and about and just beat him up and make him regret his life choices

I keep imagining three little boys in their own little suits following behind Kremy like ducklings, and if I could draw, I would make that vision a reality

Anyways, I really love the fic, and I’ll probably read through it again.

i llove all of these!!! lil croc babies following afrer kremy in tiny suits is ADORABLE, would they have teeny top hats????

i do love how everyone wants to just beatthe shit outta kerm and tbh you'd be valid

I've decided to try and get back into listening to DnD podcasts/streams again with Legends of Avantris (of course because the lovely @kurtzbergsiblings was telling me about it. and I have been interacting with her other blog @/legendsofthewitchlight, which has muses from the Once Upon a Witchlight + a couple others from a completely different series on that channel I believe, on more than one account).

I was able to get through the first episode of Once Upon a Witchlight and actually enjoyed myself (Morning Frost's deadpan/monotone way of speaking is absolutely hilarious and honestly Gricko with Hootsie is exactly how I interact with my cat LMAO). Like the only other point of reference I have is Critical Role, and I honestly could not sit through entire episodes of Vox Machina nor The Mighty Nein. They just couldn't keep my interest. Also, yes I know that Dimension 20 and The Adventure Zone exist, but I haven't had the attention span or the time to sit down and watch those either.
