summary ; dating hcs w monty

warnings ; none

word count ; 575

masterlist

he's kind of quiet so a lot of times you do most the talking

he rambles when he's stressed/nervous/anxious or when he's rambling about an interest/something he likes

and trust, he rambles a lot because he loves you bro

he's very respectful with boundaries and will NEVER cross them

he's got a whole list in his mind that he constantly checks on before he even moves around you

he's very gentle but he's not infantilizing if you have any mental / physical disabilities

like he's not gonna treat you like a baby, but he will be careful and respectful and help as much as he can

having a panic attack? he's right at your side trying to help. need your medicine site changed? he's at your service with hand sanitizer and everything you need

you were actually kind of oblivious to his advances

you thought he was just being nice by giving you a reading / teaching you about astrology

he'd always somehow find you just at the right time so you could escape your little dead boy detectives + crystal & niko

gonna be honest, you need a break sometimes. it's hard

but you loved going on little late night adventures with him and trying new food and rollerskating with him

but you did catch on to his feelings after he had to literally spell it out for you

you reference inside jokes ALL THE TIME and charles/edwin/crystal/niko never understand

then you remember "oh I have to explain this" when they give you a confused look

you love looking at funny tiktoks together

and cringe ones that deserve a restraining order

you're basically commentary youtubers atp

you make him bracelets as well, whether they be kandi or string or whatever

he wears them all the time

he's given you a couple jackets as well... let's hope esther never finds out (because they're hers. she was not buying him a whole wardrobe after turning him human)

he loves sharing music with you

and he's always begging for aux in the car / to make you listen to a song / etc etc

i see him being a hozier / david kushner / ethel cain / old friends fan

but he relates to a large handful of sleep token songs as well (I have to mention them at any moment I'm sorry)

he usually listens per artist on his playlists but there are some stray songs that are just there that scream him / he loves

like the reason by hoobastank, airhead by honey revenge, and hell by the home team

I'm describing my monty playlist atp... (link on my masterlist (go to playlists then monty finch))

he's a pretty empathetic person

like if he sees you in any sort of non-happy state, he's gonna ask if you're okay and be there for you

he giggles and laughs a lot

you're very funny, you make him laugh a lot

it's cute 😔🫶

he also picked up drawing

so he's always drawing you when you aren't looking / just in his free time

the diego to his frida

he lovesss compliments

giving and receiving

so there's a lot of those between you two

he's genuinely so sweet

he remembers all your interests and things you like and stuff

so if there's a new season of a show you like coming out or a new album from an artist you like, he's gonna be informing you

for @panacaelium. head trauma and hypothermia, written about niko with some niko/lena that i added in. thank you for helping me crash through my block 💜

The drive to a crime scene at a remote meat packaging plant in the middle of the night was a recipe for disaster. The road was paved with a thin layer of ice and sandwiched between two walls of snow about a foot off the ground. There were no lights except the moon and the two bright beams from his vehicle, no sound but the hum of his engine and the lowered volume of his radio, murmurs of a rambling late night radio host that he only put on because coffee wasn’t enough to keep him awake. Niko cursed at himself for giving in to Kari’s request because the man himself had his obligations to stay for his family while Niko didn’t have anybody, something that had been on his mind more often than not as of late.

The moon became hidden as he entered a thicket, he was getting closer to the plant. The frozen trees had looked like magnificent statues in daylight that he pointed out like shapes of clouds in the sky to his earlier passenger, but the darkness had since transformed them into looming stalking shadows that made him feel less comfortable. His foot leaned harder into the pedal out of an urge to get to his destination faster, as if something were chasing him. A trick of an exhausted mind, the rational part of him knew there was nothing following him, leaving only wafts of powdered snow billowing behind him. The road seemed like it was becoming narrower, twisting into itself like a spiral. He cut one curve a little too fast, heard an alarm in the form of tires warning him to slow down, which he tried to, but just as he did he drove into another curve in the opposite direction. He knew it wasn’t much longer until the road would straighten out, he took his foot off the gas, tried to coast back to control but his foot slammed the brake, a mistake but he swore he saw something move among the trees, coming at him—

The car swung around, he dared to think he would be safe in crashing backwards into the tree but as fast as his heart had rose in twisted hope, it sank in terror as the car swung itself horizontally into a tree on the driver’s side. His head bounced like a pinball against the window that didn’t crack, he felt an impact but didn’t feel any immediate damage to anything but the hood of his car. It wasn’t that bad, he dared to think, until he heard a tingling crack of an army of icicles that rained down onto his car like the worst type of hail.

He saw it just in time to hold up an arm to shield himself from the shattering glass cascading with a mixture of sharp shards and frozen ones. His body heaved in labored pants intercutting the ethereal wind now howling at at the door that he clamors out of, stumbling sideways into the snow.

He fumbled for his phone deep inside a jacket pocket as the world teetered beneath him. He rolled up into a sitting position, leant his back against the car as he pulled his phone up. Niko’s fingers trembled, his eyes squinted as he pressed the emergency numbers. Each press was a churn to his nauseating stomach. A fruitless effort, there was no service, no tower for the past five miles, at least.

“Fuck!”

He pounded his fisted hand backwards against the car, another dent would just be a molehill to the mountain of payments he’d have to make to repair his car, if it wasn’t totaled entirely. The action triggered another shake of the tree, a small amount of snow added salt to his wound in an almost literal sense as the snow fell onto his head, further planting small shards of glass that had stuck to him further into his winter hat.

“Niko?”

A voice, clear as a whistle from the other side of the car.

“Lena? Is…is that you?”

“In the flesh. You must have hit your head pretty hard to forget me.”

“But…but I came alone.”

“At first, until you just happened to pass by my home, catching me having a smoke outside and practically begging me to come with you.”

His heart sank. How could he have forgotten? How could he have been such an asshole and ignored her wellbeing in the crash?

He dug out his flashlight and got to his feet, stumbled as he crawled onto the side of the driver’s seat to see Lena still sitting in the car, turned sideways to face him with frazzled hair, brushing glass off of her coat and out of her hair.

“Y-You okay?”

“I’ll live. You got a few pieces—” Lena gestured to her head, pointing out the spots in the mirror that Niko should pluck out. Slowly, he followed her movements, wincing as he removed the shards of glass from the top of his head. One of them was stuck to his skin.

Once he was done he moved himself fully to the driver’s seat, a trail of heavy breaths ending in an even heavier sigh.

“Phone doesn’t work,” he told Lena.

“Figures.”

“You don’t seem all that bothered by what happened,” Niko sneered back. He felt a twinge of pain in the spot that he pulled the glass from. He reached up and swiveled the rear view mirror closer, to get a better look at himself.

“Driving with an overtired Niko Uusitalo was just a disaster waiting to happen. You are allowed to tell Kari ‘no,’ you know.”

His eyes followed the stream of blood that trickled from his forehead as it rolled over his cheek and into the snowy patch of his beard. He shivered as he raised a hand to wipe the snow away, but Lena caught his wrist and stopped him. She did it herself. He was equally annoyed and pleased by the gentleness of her touch.

Another shower of snow assaulted the car, but at a sprinkle’s pace. Consistent, and still threatening in their current situation.

They sat in silence as Niko blinked hard a few times, trying to get the world to fall back into balance but he felt like he was on a rocking ship lost in the sea of snow.

The wind continued to blow and he felt the increasing paleness of his skin. His teeth chattered together, his lips trembled and he bit back a whimper. It was only going to get colder. The snow would just keep piling.

He craned his head to look through his backseat before he realized the emergency kit was in his trunk. He gave Lena one last look before he stepped outside of the car again. The alarm for the door being open somehow echoed louder and louder the further he got away from it.

He staggered to his trunk, with an embarrassing amount of effort he popped it open. He wrapped a spare blanket he had around him, brushing off the rest of the snow that had fallen onto him, but the blanket still felt too thin—he still shivered, snow still fell onto it and melted into it. He may as well have been wearing a cape of ice.

He found a flare in the kit, and ignited it which sparked Lena’s attention.

“We have to get shelter,” he explained himself.

He drew an arrow in the snow, pointed the flare in the direction they would head towards.

“The meat plant isn’t too far off.”

“Okay,” Lena agreed. “You got a first aid kit in there?”

“Huh?”

“Your head,” Lena traced the line of blood still pulsing.

“Uhm…no…I-I don’t know where it is…” he muttered, confused. He wiped the side of his face, it didn’t hurt so it must not be that bad. “It’s fine, I’ll be fine.”

She walked towards him, hooked her arm in his. He tried to shrug it off in protest but his next attempt at walking in a straight line made him fall into step with her. He felt like he was limping on a broken leg, the snow was a frosted white bog of tar pulling him down.

“What does Kari need that couldn’t wait until morning?”

“He doesn’t trust the daytime employees. He thinks the angle of the security camera was tampered with and also thinks there’s something in the manager’s office that maybe the night staff could help us unlock.”

“Without a warrant?”

“That’s suddenly a problem for you?” Niko chuckled. He looked behind him, the flare and the car were still within sight.

“Ah, so that’s why you picked me up, huh?”

“I don’t know why he didn’t call you in the first place.”

“He knows better than to bother me at this time of night. Unlike you.” Lena playfully nudged her shoulder into his. “I wouldn’t have come if I really minded, though,” she added when Niko gaped his mouth open in worried offense.

“Good. I’m….glad you came. I’m…sorry I got us into an accident.”

“Wasn’t your fault.”

Niko waved the flashlight across the field of snow. The world had finally stopped teetering but he still felt lightheaded in shock. The tire tracks that had helped him this morning had long since covered up with the new layer.

Was there an intersection at this bit of road? Did they have to make at turn? He could have sworn it was a straight shot after the winding road but a wave of uncertainty shivered down his spine. Lena hadn’t gone with him and Kari to the scene during the day, she was waiting on him for direction. He gulped, and decided to just keep moving forward, they’d have to see the building soon enough.

His feet began to feel sore. His head began to nod downwards. The silence between them felt unresolved. She said it wasn’t his fault but it most definitely was.

He needed to talk it out.

“I know we said we wouldn’t talk about it—”

“So we are not going to,” Lena pinched his arm.

“I think we s-should,” Niko refuted with a nasty shiver. “What else do we have to talk about right now?”

“We could keep walking in silence.”

She started walking faster, tugging his arm in a warning to go just as fast or she’d throw him to the finish line.

“Lena.”

Niko stopped, Lena stumbled out of his grip backwards to face him, but not to look at him in the eye as she rolled her eyes with a sigh. She hugged herself, pulling her coat as tightly as she could around her body but he saw small puffs of frustrated breath pipe out of her uncomfortably clenched teeth.

“What’s there to talk about? We helped each other get what we needed. You want to do it again, is that it?”

“Well, yeah, but not right now.”

Lena laughed unbelievably. Her nose and cheeks were rosy red.

“You’re not in your right mind for this. Next thing you’re going to tell me you love me.”

“I do.”

The words came out in a puff of cold air that hung suspended between them. Niko had said it with a bluntness to match her own. As if it was the simplest thing in the world for her to understand. He unraveled the blanket around him and approached her. She didn’t step back as he expected. She allowed him to put the blanket around her. There was a gleam of gratitude in the daggers of her eyes.

They kept walking in a more comfortable silence and he dared to think his mind was finally at ease. He could see a shadow sprinkled with soft lights in the distance, square, tall, imposing. A factory behind an illuminated curtain of the falling snow. They were so close. He wrapped himself around her side, the crunch of the snow between their feet synchronized.

But his heart froze when one of the crunches turned into a crack.

And that’s when he remembered, there was a small lake at the front of the property.

One of his legs gave out, and plummeted into a pit of ice water. He shoved Lena away before using both his arms to stop his entire body from sinking into the growing puddle but slammed his head down in effort to push himself up and out. Once he got enough height, he quickly scrambled backwards out of the water. His legs had gone to an immediate numb in the sheer cold, he couldn’t feel them. He held himself still, eyes wide in terror that the ice would continue to crack and the gaping maw of a frozen hell would swallow him completely. He turned his head, Lena had made it to what must have been the shore, and he slowly crawled his way towards her.

“Niko! Quickly!” she barked at him. He kept reaching a hand out, searching for something to grab onto but even the packed snow didn’t offer much grappling, and his hand would fall onto the very flat surface he was trying to escape. He had to rely on his upper body to do the job but another bout of vertigo slowed him even further. Lena was on a slant, he feared that she would just slide down along with him.

“You idiot, come on!” Lena bent down, a hand reached out from the bundle of blanket towards him. He blinked, slower and harder with every labored breath. The numbness turned into a thousand needles and he stifled a whimper as the previously unpleasant crawl became painful. He tasted iron in his mouth, his wound must have opened again.

Despite the effort and the pain, he used the returning sensation in his legs to give himself one final push onto a bed of snow with nothing but earth underneath it. He lay flat on his back, panting, and closed his eyes.

“Niko? Niko! Stay with me!” Lena shouted at him. He felt something cover the lower half of his body, but the upper half suddenly felt colder. His fingers burned with pain at the smallest twitch, he suddenly feared they would snap off altogether.

His eyes opened, and in front of him Lena was above him, tapping the side of his cheek. Leaned in for a kiss, to resuscitate him.

He blinked, and she was gone. Somebody else was in her place…Kari?

“Niko? Niko!” Niko narrowed his eyes, his mouth hung open. “You’re in shock,” Kari added in explanation.

“Lena, where’s Lena?”

“She’s on her way.”

“On her way to where? She-she was just here…”

Niko turned his head, the blanket he thought he had given her was being lifted out of the snow by someone in the far distance.

“I-I don’t…”

“It’s the hypothermia. Or the head wound,” Kari gently tapped Niko’s forehead. “Or maybe both.”

“How did you find me?”

“You didn’t call me back, I knew how long it’d take for you to get there. It's a miracle I found you when I did,” Kari thumbed behind him to indicate the factory that he almost made it to. Kari’s eyes flicked up, and he got to his feet, waving his hands. “Hey! I found him! He’s over here!”

Niko winced at the sudden brightness once Kari pulled back the curtain. It was early morning, the sun was rising. He didn’t feel cold anymore, instead felt like he was being cooked alive.

“No, no, no, don’t do that,” Kari warned him as Niko tried to strip off the sweater he had under the coat that he must have wrestled off and put over his legs.

“It’s hot…”

Kari puppetered Niko’s arms initially away from his body, his clothes, before crossing them together and pushing them onto his chest to keep him warm.

“Help is on the way,” he advised the younger man. “Just stay with me.”

Kari morphed into Lena again. She was straddling him.

“I like it on top,” Niko whined.

“So do I, but it’s only fair we take turns.”

Niko closed his eyes again, and giggled.

“On top of what?”

“Nothing,” Niko answered, maybe a little too quickly. “Can you let go of me now?”

“As long as you promise not to go streaking into the winter wilderness.”

He wouldn’t have the chance to do that anyway, as he started to slip back under the ice into unconsciousness.

------------------------------------

He briefly awoke in the ambulance to feel his head get wrapped with a bandage, the wound in his forehead felt larger than before, and his eyes widened when he saw an icicle the size of a screwdriver melting into a pool of blood on the table beside him.

The throbbing faded away gently until he swam out of the darkness again, back into an overbearing light over his body, heating him up.

“They’re roasting you like a chicken,” Lena dryly chuckled.

His head lolled to the side to find her sitting with her legs crossed in a hospital chair, her coat draped over the side. She had been there a while.

She pulled the chair closer, grabbing his hand.

“You okay, Frosty?”

Better now that you’re here.

He nodded, biting down on his lower lip.

“Really…I’m glad you’re okay. I mean it.”

“I know. I—...thank you.”

“When you’re feeling better…I think…we should talk. About the other night…I’ll make another house call to your place.”

His eyebrows rose. His heart fluttered.

“I’d like that,” he croaked.

“It’s a date then,” Lena smirked, patting the hand she cupped into her own.

Hey. Gift for u. Thoughts on mindlink in the dbd smbts au

god don't even get me started. mindlink connecting the teens initially during fights, and then niko is able to connect them even outside of transformation and they can talk during classes. edwin trying to focus in class but having to tune out the background noise of the other three and getting very annoyed and tossing out a i am TRYING to focus very loudly in their minds and it's quiet for the rest of class the same was its quiet in the car when your parent raises their voice with you bc they're annoyed and driving and just want you to be quiet so they can get you home safely. figuring out that they can send each other mind version of Game Pigeon games and doing that during study sessions or late nights where they can't sleep.

learning how to distinguish between thoughts based on their cadence. edwin and niko both having ramble-y thoughts but edwin's stay focused on a line of thought while niko's jump between topics. charles think less in full sentences and more in emotions and individual phrases. crystal's thoughts coming through quick and having an echo-y feel because of the divination aspects of her powers.

connected nightmares :) initially not knowing that they're experiencing each others nightmares, but then they fall into nightmares that there's no way that they would have them (stumbling into a nightmare niko has about losing her dad, crystal falling back into old habits with the team, charles' nightmares about his dad, nightmares about each other getting hurt) and figuring it out and now they're seeing each others fears and worries and not even their dreams and nightmares being private (edwin and charles sharing dreams of domesticity before they get together but they both think it's their own dreams and both being worried about the other stumbling into those dreams).

feeling strong flashes of each other's emotions. one of them being up late and feeling a spike of loneliness or fear from one of the others and having to piece through who sent it and going to their room to check in. charles not wanting to burden the others with his negative emotions, learning to lock down his mind from the link but the absence of his thoughts feels bad in a different way.

just, thinks about being so connected to people they literally know you inside and out, they're actually able to look inside your head, but also the absolute lack of privacy they have initially.

#dbda smbts #dead boy detectives #mindlink as a guy who has privacy issues is so very fun and interesting to me

Welcome to whatever the hell happened with my physical state the past couple days has now left me in the "we have an essay to write, let's do it really late at night."

On another note, I have the urge to draw my guys using screenshots from movies. I already have one in mind, that being the skating memory from inside out, where Joy is mimicking what Riley is doing. I feel like that would translate over to [Redacted] and the way he thinks of both their younger self and the time before the calamity. I kinda want to do it as a way for me to explore the dynamics between the five saviors, [Redacted]'s feelings on the time before the calamity, during the calamity, and after, specifically wanting to focus sometime on how he would have felt during the close to 100 runs of oneshot, and that guilt he'd feel during those years, the way Niko felt during those runs, because I know damn well they would have some form of awareness to the runs before solstice, and the way both [Redacted] and Niko felt during the solstice run (I am in fact going to ramble for much longer, prepare yourselves), the way Twm felt during these things as well (because we all know damn well that wouldn't be fun for them either), how all of them would feel after the end of Solstice, maybe the effects of the yellow phosphor after Niko got out of the simulation, and maybe how they'd feel after all of that, Rizu's past, Asa's past, Sage during project Silvia, Sage after all of that, the way Asa and Sage met, maybe the way Niko met Rizu... there's a lot I want to try and do as practice for anatomy, branching out in art style, and just to actually get into some of the story idea's I have.

Also I think as motivation for myself to do my damn essay, I'm going to do short 10 minute scene writes type things every 30 or so minutes, with the first one being done right now. That's it for right now I guess-

#this doesn't really count as anything specific-

Aaahhh I love the new header!! 🤧😍💞

Anyway just dropping by to talk about this thought I have 👀 so I have this scenario in my mind where Olli and Allu have been crushing on each other for a while and one of them breaks up with their partner and gets heartbroken and the other of course feels bad for him and comforts him but can’t stop thinking about how he has a chance now and aaaaaa my brain feels foggy and it’s not working but I feel like there would be so many ways to continue this 🤧 (sorry for rambling 😭)

I love it too if I say so myself 🥺🤲

I know this sounds like I'm making shit up but literally earlier today I thought about almost this exact scenario 😂 only mine was a tad more specific, and bear with me now, because for some reason I imagined a wedding (perhaps a crew members') and one of them arriving there a bit late because they had a fight and broke up with their partner just before leaving for the wedding venue (or the night before) and yeahhhhh, they end up comforting each other at the evening party of the wedding reception 👀

don't ask me why the setting has to be a wedding lol, I'm not sure actually, it just came to my mind for some reason because that's how my brain works, although it might have been inspired by an old picture taken at a wedding I saw last night while browsing Porko's or Niko's instagram, in which Olli looked sooooooo good in a white collar shirt and black suspenders and yeahhhh, just imagine the possiblities of them getting all hot and bothered in their wedding gear, all loose ties and unbuttoned shirts and messy hair and oofff mmmhmhhhhmmhm 😳

obviously in this scenario both of them have secretly been crushing on each other for quite some time, including the one who just broke up with their partner, and perhaps that was even one of the reasons they broke up (maybe the partner noticed something or the other was being distant), so it wouldn't be a "bandage" kinda situation you know, instead they'd both be like aahhhh finallyyyyy 😭

thanks for rambling in my askbox once again! 🥰💖

#might also be because ''two lonely souls getting together at a friends wedding'' is a trope i love to play with from time to time hehe #answered asks #sparfloxacin #ollixallu #blind channel rpf

❝ i don’t have perfect words. i’m not the kind of person who knows how to sound poetic and shit. so all i know what to tell you is that i belong to you. i don’t know if you want me. but i’m yours. and at this point however it is you need me, i’m here. ❞ joel/niko

Joel was so focused on what he was writing in his notebook, that he didn’t hear the door opening.

He didn’t notice that he was no longer alone in the studio, until a warm hand gripped his shoulder.

“Fuck!” he cried, dropping his pencil in shock.

“My bad, man,” Niko apologized. “I didn’t mean to scare you. I got you the coffee you asked for.”

“Oh…thank you,” Joel blinked sheepishly, taking the Starbucks cup Niko was holding out to him.

“What were you writing?” Niko asked curiously, sitting down in a chair beside him.

It was late at night, and their bandmates had long since headed home. But of course, night-owl Joel was always the last to leave.

“…Lyrics,” Joel replied, feeling a little embarrassed. “I know you normally write most of them. But, I wanted to give it a go.”

“Can I see what you have so far?” Niko asked, picking the notebook up off the table.

“No, don’t look!” Joel protested, but it was too late.

Niko was already reading off the page:

Somewhere in the city

I can feel you following me

I've been caving in, I couldn't breathe

But with you, I'm finally free….

“Oh, I like it so far,” Niko beamed. “Is it about friendship? Like, the four of us?”

“Um…,” Joel hesitated. “I guess it could be about that.”

“….But, you were thinking of something else when you wrote it?” Niko guessed.

“I originally intended it to be more like…a love song,” Joel said nervously, fidgeting with the ends of his hair.

“So, there’s someone you’re in love with?” Niko realized, eyes widening.

“I…,” Joel’s face reddened. “I don’t know if it’s that kind of love, or not. I think it might be. But, I’ve never felt that before. For anyone. So, how would I know?”

“Have you tried telling the person, how you feel about them?” Niko suggested.

“No,” Joel shook his head emphatically. “I can’t do that.”

“Well then…,” Niko chewed his lip. “Could you tell me who it is you like, at least?”

“Why would I tell you that?!” Joel said, his cheeks growing hotter, as his fidgeting grew more agitated.

“Well, I could talk to him for you,” Niko offered. “Try and find out if he feels the same?”

“No, Niko, you don’t get it,” Joel shook his head. “You can’t help me.”

“….Is it Porko?” Niko asked bluntly. “I bet it is. Everyone says he’s the best looking guy in the band, so….”

“….It’s you, you idiot,” Joel blurted.

“…..Huh?”

It was Niko’s turn, to start turning red.

“Like I said,” Joel confessed. “I don’t know if it’s really love. If I’m even capable of falling in love. Or if I’m just confused. I thought maybe if I wrote a song about it, I could make sense of my own feelings. But, I don’t have perfect words. I’m not the kind of person who knows how to sound poetic and shit.”

“I thought it sounded beautiful,” Niko said quietly.

“You said it sounded like a friendship song!” Joel argued. “So, maybe you should forget I said anything. And we should just continue being friends.”

“No,” Niko shook his head. “Joel, I don’t want to just forget about it. This changes everything!”

“All I know what to tell you, is that I…I belong to you, Niko,” Joel confessed emotionally. He was terrified that he was about to be rejected. Terrified that he was going to ruin their ability to work together, that their second album was never going to be finished, because he had to go and open his mouth. And yet…he couldn’t make himself stop rambling.

“I don’t know if you want me. but I’m yours. And at this point however it is you need me, I’m here.”

“I do want you, Joel,” Niko said, his voice barely above a whisper. “I’ve wanted you for a long time, actually. But…I’m an idiot. I was so certain you had feelings for Joonas, so…”

“No,” Joel interrupted. “Whatever these feelings are, Niko - all I know for sure, is that they’ve always been for you.”

More CotL follower refs, with more rambling because I'm literally just hanging around

Part 3 of the follower refs

Gala

Cat

They/them

51 years old

Gala, like many of the current followers, was born in the cult. They have found a deep love for exploring and was quickly drawn to being a missionary. They don't like being away too long, though, because gods-damn it, sometimes they miss their wife! They treat the younger missionaries like their kids despite the fact that the actual child they have with their wife is younger than the other missionaries

Owns a missionary necklace

Younger sibling of Fino. Spouse of Heather. Adopted parent of Thorn

Hera

Cow

She/her

35 years old

Hera was found in Darkwood as a baby. Now that she's all grown up, she enjoys exploring the other realms and spreading the good word of the Lamb’s gospel. She has a massive crush on the Lamb too but shh don't tell anyone. She gets along great with the other missionaries and likes hanging out with them

Owns a missionary necklace

Adopted daughter of Kumo

Niko

Fennec fox

They/them

31 years old

Niko joined the cult a little later than most. As a result, they don't feel very connected to many others aside from their fiancé. Sure they're friends with the other missionaries, but it's more of a work relationship to them rather than a friendship

Owns a missionary necklace

Fiancé of Vido

Grima

Raccoon

She/her

37 years old

Grima was born and raised here alongside her now wife and her older sister. She became a medic because she wanted to help her fellow cultists in a different way than her mother and older sister did/do. She loves helping people and is the person most people come to for help instead of Kallamar because they think she's nicer (she is). Things are a little busy for her now, though, what with the new baby and her oldest child still needing attention from both her and her wife. She usually would work late nights, but for her family, she's stopped doing that for now

Owns a moon necklace

Daughter of Luciana. Sister of Hela. Wife of Edel. Mother of Poppy & Alder. Adopted aunt of Noro & Myira

Grima is a major character in my AU, so you'll be seeing her a lot when I finally finish it

people giving me silly specific to them nicknames makes me so wildly happy like even just spelling differences i have 3 friends that call me nikky but all spell it differently so it’s like special

also normalize giving people nicknames that have nothing to do with their name like my family calls me bean and i have no idea why my little sister used to call me french fry purely cause i love french fries

call me random shit call me desk chair if you want i don’t fucking care just give me a nickname

as much as i love the goldenheart painting, it was false advertising. someone might look at it and expect nimona but instead get smacked with silly posts about 3000 year old people. now it's clear that i am filled with whimsy

felt silly. changed the look of my blog a bit godbless

#i am so so tired.#i think this is one of my late night impulses where i desire to fundamentally change my life at an ungodly hour #and i am very incoherent when i'm tired. it's a bad decision to be on tumblr when i'm like this #well too bad i'm also prone to bad decisions during this time #niko rambles

Not only did Cinder try to kill Pyrrha in canon but she actually did, Cinder and Pyrrha are absolute opposites as people, and they have completely different ideals and morals, and yet....some of you people insist on shipping them....and guess what....it worked and now I ship them too?!

Everything us Cinder people do flies in the face of logic and irony, doesn’t it. We’re beyond help.

Anyway, Pyrrha x Cinder headcanon/AU: Cinder’s plan to become Fall Maiden would’ve gone perfectly...had not the tall red haired warrior goddess been a complete angel to her, offering to help her move in to their dorm at Beacon and offering to get her dinner just to be welcoming and nice. And completely against her personality, Cinder actually agrees, and they go to dinner, and somehow hit it off? And now Cinder is like “Holy shit...is this affection that I feel? Horrible.” And her interactions with Pyrrha range from flabbergasted amazement at Pyrrha being so nice despite Cinder being a literal flaming asshole, to absolute rage because Cinder has no clue how to handle feeling enamoured with the girl she’s supposed to hate. And Pyrrha is just over here like “She’s actually nicer than you think, and she’s really pretty!” like a fucking sunrise and Cinder is just pissed like how dare she say those things about her??

Can someone tell me

Why on earth phyrra is being pushed around so much? I mean no hate, adorable character, but like... she is non-canon now? Shes... gone...? Why the merch? Is it like, foreshadowing? Are roosterteeth keeping her in our minds, like, 'hey dont forget! This character! For reasons...' I totally dig the cereal though...

finally broke the block after 15 days!!!! hoping i'm not jinxing it!!!!!!

“Fuck!”

“Niko?”

A voice, clear as a whistle from the other side of the car.

“Lena? Is…is that you?”

“In the flesh. You must have hit your head pretty hard to forget me.”

“But…but I came alone.”

“At first, until you just happened to pass by my home, catching me having a smoke outside and practically begging me to come with you.”

His heart sank. How could he have forgotten? How could he have been such an asshole and ignored her wellbeing in the crash?

“Y-You okay?”

Once he was done he moved himself fully to the driver’s seat, a trail of heavy breaths ending in an even heavier sigh.

“Phone doesn’t work,” he told Lena.

“Figures.”

“Driving with an overtired Niko Uusitalo was just a disaster waiting to happen. You are allowed to tell Kari ‘no,’ you know.”
