Raph and Leo trick or treat

Uhhhh this one is breaking the rules but I had an idea and no one asked for Leo and Raph trick, so here we go.

CW: death (of OCs, no major characters), violence (not particularly graphic)

———

Just seconds ago they were watching a movie together. Leo got up, said he wanted more tea. Raph offered to get it for him, because Leo still needed crutches, still had nasty cracks in his shell, but Leo shook his head and said he wanted to move around.

Now, there are six people in their home, and Raph has idea how they got here.

Humans, all of them. Adults, big guys, some of them even taller than Raph. They’re wearing military fatigues and vests and helmets, and they’re armed to the teeth. EPF is emblazoned on their lapels.

They’ve positioned themselves to block Leo and Raph off from each other. Three gun barrels trained on each of them. Raph wonders how they got past Donnie’s security system.

Calling for help is no use. Mikey and Splinter have gone to the Hidden City for supplies, and Donnie’s looting a junkyard. Maybe this is why they’re attacking now. It’s just the two of them, and Leo is in no state to fight.

Raph feels frozen, unsure what to do. He doesn’t have his weapons - if he summons them, will they shoot him? Shoot Leo? He doesn’t know if bullets would pierce their shells. He doesn’t want to find out.

“Heyyyy guys,” says Leo, his voice light despite the situation. “Are you from the IRS? Sorry, we’ll get right on those taxes.”

“Quiet,” barks one of the men.

“Oh yeah, right to remain silent.” Leo chuckles in a strained way. “Never been good at that one.”

“You will come with us,” the same man says. “We are authorized to use force if you do not cooperate.”

“Sorry, my dad says not to go with strangers.”

Raph can’t see it, but he hears it: the slam of something his little brother’s face; Leo grunting in pain; the clatter of his crutches as he stumbles and falls.

Something inside Raph wakes up and roars.

They are outnumbered. They are unarmed. They are just kids, facing down adults with guns and armor and forceful expressions.

And Raph will fight tooth and nail, to his last breath, to protect his family.

His ninpo crackles as it engulfs his fists. He hears one of the men shout in surprise. There’s a gunshot, then another.

Raph barely registers it. His only thought is to protect Leo. He knows nothing else.

It’s a few minutes later when the static clears. “Raph!” Leo is calling, and he sounds panicked, and it shakes Raph back to awareness.

There’s blood everywhere. The air stinks with it. And there are bodies. Six of them, mangled and bent and impossibly small on the ground.

The red of his ninpo falls away and Raph stares in uncomprehending shock.

They’re dead.

He killed them.

It had been easy.

“Raph,” Leo says again, something begging in his tone. “Raph, come on, snap out of it. We can’t stay here.”

“I killed them,” he says.

“It was self-defense,” Leo answers immediately. “They broke into our house. They had guns.”

“It was easy,” he says, and feels sick.

“They attacked us,” Leo argues. He’s shaking and so is Raph. “You were protecting me.”

Raph stares at his hands. He feels like they should have blood on them, but they don’t. His ninpo shielded him from the spray.

“Raph,” says Leo, voice somehow measured despite everything. “Donnie’s alone.”

It’s this that finally shakes him out of it. His other little brother is alone. What if they’re after him, too?

He looks at Leo. There’s a trickle of blood coming from his nose where he got hit. He’ll have a shiner for sure. But he’s unhurt otherwise. His eyes are big and worried but they aren’t afraid.

“We have to get out of here,” Leo reiterates. “We can get the tank. Get Donnie and Dad and Mikey and figure out what to do.”

Raph nods. Right. They can’t just stand around. They can’t stay here with the-

He takes a deep breath. “I’ll carry you, you try to get Donnie on the comms.”

Relief floods Leo’s face, and he nods. “Great plan, big guy.”

Raph lifts Leo in his arms, grabbing his crutch and tucking it under his shoulder before he’s moving. Away from the stench of blood and death.

Leo calls Donnie on the comm, and he answers right away. He already knows, and Raph listens as the twins work out a meeting point. Leo doesn’t tell Donnie what happened. Just says they’re okay.

It will do for now.

Writer Questionnaire Tag

Thank you for the tag @wyked-ao3

It's always fun to do one of these lol

How long have you had your writing Tumblr/Writeblr? A fast and loose estimate is fine!

I've had a Tumblr account for about 6 months or so but I've only been a 'writeblr' for a couple months.

What led you to create it?

Idk tbh. I kinda just decided that I wanted to share my writing and it led me here.

What’s your favorite thing about the Writeblr community?

All of the creativity is amazing. I'm a whore for lore and world building, and the worlds that y'all come up with are immaculate. I could only hope to think of a world that vast and interesting.

What’s one thing you’d like your mutuals to know about you?

Please ddon't take me seriously. I've said it before and I'll say it again, but I'm not just a clown, I'm the entire circus. The day you take me too seriously (especially as an author) is the death of my whimsy.

Is there anything you’d like to see more of on your dash?

Nothing I can really think of. I'm pretty happy with how it is rn lol

WIP it Good

Which Works-in-Progress (WIPs) or writing projects are you noodling about, lately?

Bloody Hands are Kind and None of Us Heroes are always floating around. They're never not beating my ass with ideas and scenes.

How long have you been working on them?

I've been working of the series component of Bloody Hands are Kind since February, and None of Us Heroes for about 1 and a half months.

Do you remember what inspired them/what got you started?

None of Us Heroes started from the Honkai Star Rail brainworms known as Adventurine and Dr Ratio. Their designs and story inspired the two main characters of None of Us Heroes. The series component of Bloody Hands are Kind was basically me shoving a long-standing OC of mine into the Hunger Games universe and praying it would work.

How much time, in your best estimation, do you spend thinking about them?

At least a few hours a day, usually when I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep. My array of illnesses make falling asleep hard and I find that thinking about my stories makes it easier to forget that I'm not asleep (and therefore hopefully fall asleep).

When someone asks the dreaded, “What do you write about,” question, what do you usually say?

"Whatever the voices command."

What do you want to say (if it’s different from what you do say)?

Meh I say that because I find it funny so idk if I'd change it.

Let’s Rotate Blorbos

Name any characters you created. Side characters, protagonists, antagonists, characters who’ve never been written, the first original abomination you ever pulled from your ass; whomever you’d like!

OHH LORD THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG LIST. So we got Adrian, Nova, Amarantha, Jack, Cora Beth, Ben Al-Badawi (x3), Jack Collins, William Talt, Blue, Zero, One, Two, Three, Four, Five, Six, Seven, Eight, Azrael (aka Amane), Lucifer, Achlys, Quinn Amsel, Atlas Selic, Michael, Adena, Nakir, Evangeline, Celeste, Saeko, Gabriel, Kaz Anderson, Caspian, Jyn Osaka, Nikolai Sevigny, Cyril, Kylan Whitlock, Kestrel, Leo Valandi, Anaïs, Delph, Laz (short for Lazarus), Neo, Roland, Tobias, Will, Mirwais, Simon Cruz, Conrad, James Blackthorn, Alessandra Snow, Max Foster, Benyamin Safi, Haeyun Sin, and Dante Silvestre. There are more, but I either don't care enough to write them down or I've forgotten their names.

Who’s the most unhinged?

Blue 100%. He's not human and it is not uncommon for his species to be cannibalistic. He's not, but he's still unhinged asf

Who comes the most naturally for you to write?

Max Foster. He's easy to write because me and him share a lot if similarities.

Do you ever cringe at them?

Oh definitely. A lot of my old characters are cringy.

How much control do you feel you have over your characters? AKA, do they ever “write themselves,” refuse to cooperate, or do things you didn’t expect? To what degree? Are some less cooperative than others?

Dude idk what to tell you, whenever I try and force my characters to do something I hit the biggest writer's block wall I've ever seen.

On Writeblr Engagement

Do you enjoy people asking questions about your characters? And do you have a preferred means of receiving said questions? For example, as Asks, as replies, as reblogs, as tag notes, as comments on AO3, etc.

YES YES PLEASE ASK ME!! Anyways, I don't really care how you ask (I just want you to ask lol), but if I had to pick it'd either be asks or comments on Ao3. Though ofc I still love questions in any and all forms, even if it's something like making a separate post and tagging me loll.

What makes you want to follow another Writeblr account? Do you follow ‘em as you see ‘em, or take time scoping out the blog to make sure you align with its content? Do you follow based on WIPs, or vibes?

I mostly follow people if I think their cool or if I find myself consistently liking their posts as they come across my dash. I don't follow people often tho lol. I only follow abt 20 people I think.

What makes you decide against following?

If their vibes are too negative, if they're super political, if their content doesn't align with something I care about, or if they're super anti something I am. Any combination of those could be the reason I don't follow.

Do your mutuals’ characters occupy space in your noodle?

Yes. I think about other people's WIPs and such all of the time. I love stories, what can I say?

Do you interact with non-mutuals often?

Of course! As I said, I don't follow many people so I don't have many mutuals. I love interacting with different people though, so I'm happy to strike up conversations with random people I find cool!

[graaythekwami]

Hey, do you have kwamis linked to Zodiac signs? What are your concepts and powers?

For the Western Zodiac? Yes, I have some inspired by the Zodiac, I have them in my OC Miracle Box know as the Season Box, which is centered in Europe. Alongside a kwami for each Zodiac sign (in the lower box) there's five more kwamis in this box (upper box) who loosely represent the seasons + one in the center. I also have art and bios for a lot of these guys, which I'll link to because I can. :)

The Zodiac/Constellations (Lower Box):

Aries: Baash the Mouflon, kwami of Strength. With the constellation being that of a ram I went with a mouflon, which is a type of wild sheep, and with Aries being the god of war I chose the concept to be Strength, with the powers providing super strength far beyond what a regular Miraculous could provide.

Taurus: Antiqq the Aurochs, kwami of Reversion. While the Taurus constellation is a bull, I wanted to avoid direct overlap with Stompp, so I went with the aurochs, an extinct species of wild cattle. And because this species is extinct I used this to decide the powers, which is to make time flow in reverse.

Gemini: Harmonee the Ant, kwami of Cooperation. With this constellation being represented by a set of twins this was a bit harder to pick an animal for. In the end I decided to go with my Ant, as most ants in a hill are sisters, and because one of Harmonee's powers create a Hivemind that links all allies' minds together, which plays into some twin stereotypes.

Cancer: Snapp the Crab, kwami of Adaptation. This was an easy animal to choose, with Cancer of course being represented by a crab. And I chose the power of Adaptation because of the memes about everything eventually evolving into a crab. :) Snapp's powers allow one to manifest a temporary superpower that best suits their current situation.

Leo: Valoree the Lion, kwami of Courage. Well Leo is a lion, and lions represent bravery... so this one was fairly straight forward. Valoree's power has the power to grant Courage, or to absorb it into an energy to use to attack.

Virgo: Olivv the Dove, kwami of Peace. This was another tricky one, with the Virgo constellation being a maiden carrying wheat, which doesn't directly translate to an animal. This maiden is seen as a goddess of harvest in some cultures, and Virgo translates to "the virgin". When researching animals associated with this sign many of them were already taken (like the Fox and Rabbit, or the Deer). In the end I chose a Dove as doves and unicorns can be used to symbolize virgins, and I already had a Unicorn kwami. Peace was an oblivious concept for a Dove, giving her the power to create areas where no conflict or harm can take place.

Libra: Elle the Gecko, kwami of Equality. This is yet another constellation without a straight forward animal to represent it, instead being a set of scales. So I decided to have a bit of fun, and pick an animal with literal scales on it... so a lizard. xD I most heavily played into the Libra symbolism with the powers, with them being that of Equality, like the idea of balancing out a set of scales. Elle's powers allow them to always create even ground, making it so powers, strength, and resources are Equally divide up among everyone.

Scorpio: Verriti the Scorpion, kwami of Truth. Scorpio is of course a Scorpion kwami, who has the powers to make people tell the Truth. I don't have a single reason for why I picked Truth for the powers, it just felt fitting for a scorpion. Perhaps its because the truth can sting sometimes?

Sagittarius: Spikke the Hedgehog, kwami of Precision. As cool as a centaur based kwami could be, that was one I didn't think I could design, so this one has a focus on the archer aspect of Sagittarius, with the weapon being a crossbow and the power making sure the user can never miss their target. As for why a hedgehog, well, they be spiky like an arrow.

Capricorn: Gloss the Ibex, kwami of Friction. The Capricorn constellation is a sea goat, so I went with a wild kind of goat, the ibex. As for the powers, it allows the user to manipulate the Friction on a surface, meaning they could climb up anything like a goat, or make things super slippery for their enemies.

Aquarius: Nokk the Kelpie, kwami of Water. With this constellation being someone carrying water, I decided to make the concept tie directly to it, with this kwami being able to grant complete control over all forms of water. As for a kelpie, well it's a horse in European folklore that lives in water.

Pisces: Dannte the Seahorse, kwami of Fear. Pisces is described as being two fish tied together, so a fish it is! But fish kwami are a pain to draw, so I decided on a seahorse; which is a fish but its shape is one I feel I can fit into a kwami design more. And seahorses are a fish that are always trying to hide and camouflage, suggesting a pretty fearful animal. Their power allows them to create an irrational Fear in others.

---

And if you're curious about the other kwamis in this box, you got Keena the Lynx of Intuition (Center), Glaace the Polar Bear of Endurance (Winter), Florra the Elk of Growth (Spring), Prrince the Swan of Loyalty (Summer), and Duux the Moth of Hope (Fall).

The Curse of Oenone (Leo Valdez xFem!Oc)

A/N: The girls are (kinda not) fighting!! -Danny Words: 2,174 Series' Masterlist Previous Chapter // Next Chapter Listen to: 'Nothing/Sad N Stuff' -by Lizzie McAlpine

LXII: I'm Being So Normal About This

Ara's so used to not being noticed unless she wants to, that it catches her off guard when people move out of her way mumbling apologies without her having to utter a word. 

"This is my boy, Chuck!" Hedge's voice catches her attention and Ara makes her way to look at the tiny newborn the satyr is holding. 

Clarisse notices Ara the moment she's close enough and lets out a chortle, pulling her into a rough hug. "Everyone, look how tall Birdy has gotten!"

Ara blushes like crazy. Hedge places his son in her arms, she's never held anything this fragile. "He's... cute," Ara chokes, giving him a fleeting but genuine smile.

"Strategus, glad to see you're awake," Chiron appears, handing her a goblet. "Just in time for our toast." Ara stands in front of the crowd, Nico comes out of nowhere and places her gold laurel wreath on her head with a mocking smile. "Out of every tragedy," Chiron begins, "comes new strength. Today, we thank the gods for this victory. To the gods!" 

The crowd echoes that with little feeling. 

"And to new friends!"

"TO NEW FRIENDS!"

Her mentor gestures at Ara and she moves onward, carrying the confidence she gained while proving her worth in all the ways imaginable. Everyone cheers and hollers her name like viewers in a coliseum, and she would know, she fought in the best one. 

It doesn't do anything to fill the void in her chest.

Ara smiles at the demigods before her. "Thank you for fighting for what you love. Without you, I wouldn't've been able to protect this place," she raises her goblet. "What I told you last year, I repeat to our Roman family: I will be here for you, always. The future's brighter than it's ever been."

Everyone drinks to that, and Ara gulps down the content in her goblet hoping it'll take away the bittersweet taste on her tongue.

"Tomorrow, we Romans must return home. We appreciate your hospitality, especially since we almost killed you—"

"You almost got killed," Annabeth corrects playfully.

"Whatever, Chase."

The campers nudge each other and joke around. Ara is standing next to Nico, watching the scene unfold with a vague grin.

"Anyway," Frank adds. "Reyna and I agree this marks a new era of friendship between the camps."

"That's right. For hundreds of years, the gods tried to separate us to keep us from fighting. But there's a better kind of peace—cooperation."

"Are you sure your mom is a war goddess?" Piper calls from the audience.

"Yes, McLean. I still intend to fight a lot of battles. But from now on we fight together!"

Everyone cheers so loud Frank has to shut them up. "You'll all be welcome at Camp Jupiter. We've come to an agreement with Chiron and Ara: a free exchange between the camps—weekend visits, training programmes and, of course, emergency aid in times of need—"

"And parties?"

"Hear, hear!" Connor says happily. Ara notices he's got an arm around Lily's shoulders and Lily is terribly stiff but blushing and smiling. Both of them are glowing silver.

"That goes without saying. We Romans invented parties." Reyna jokes.

"Oh my gods." Ara grasps Nico's arm and whispers excitedly. "Oh my gods! Lily and Connor—"

Nico smirks. "Happened right after the battle. Lily pushed her way through looking like she was about to stab Connor, and before he even knew what was happening, Lily kissed him. It still kind of looked like she was hoping to kill him that way."

"Please, tell me I didn't—"

"The lake still awaits," Nico replies with dark joy. "I wanted to wait until you were conscious."

"Leo's right," Ara looks at him with gratitude. "You are one of my best friends."

Before Nico can react to that, Reyna pulls him forward, taking Ara and the boy by surprise. 

"We had one home," she smiles. "Now we have two."

Reyna hugs him so tightly that Ara covers her mouth waiting for an explosion... but nothing happens. 

She celebrates with the rest, then pouts. "Man, when do I get a hug?" 

Everyone gets up to leave but she whistles again, catching their attention. The girl grins wickedly. "I'd like you to take part in a tradition we Greeks love..." she stands before Lily and Connor. "And it only happens when two campers get together after years of driving their General nuts."

Lily's face gets redder and Connor's matches it with little effort. "I'm gonna kill you," the black-haired girl whispers lividly.

"I know." Ara looks at Annabeth with a huge smile on her face. "Let's take these lovebirds for a swim!"

Half of the crowd knows what's happening and the other is there to have fun. They follow Ara and her friends to the lake and watch Lily and Connor get tossed into the water unceremoniously. Ara claps loudly and then ushers the onlookers away. 

"Good job, everyone! Now go to bed! Malcolm—! Oh, thanks man," she grabs the towels he's brought for the couple.

Lily, Nico, and Connor are the only ones left. The short girl snatches her towel angrily and Connor quietly dries himself, but he's doing a terrible job of hiding how pleased he feels about all this.

"Boys, can you give us a minute?" Ara asks politely.

They hesitate. Nico frowns. "Are you gonna fight?"

"No," Ara rolls her eyes. "I just need to have a talk with my best friend... if that's okay with her?"

Lily nods curtly. Connor hangs his towel over one shoulder and takes Lily's, then pauses, unsure of how to make his exit. Ara smirks, ready to tease him endlessly.

"Oh, you want to kiss her goodnight? Just pretend like we're not here," she covers her eyes and sings loudly, turning her back on them for good measure and pulling Nico in the same direction. 

Ten seconds later, someone punches her really hard and Ara hisses, clutching her arm. "Dude! I got taller but your punches didn't stop being deadly..."

"You were so vain already, but now you've got longer legs and toned muscles? Ugh, you need to be sedated," Lily complains, crossing her arms grumpily.

Ara chuckles and stands upright, placing her hands on her hips and taking a good look at Lily—making a show of how she has to look down to see her properly. "You know, it feels like I haven't seen you in ages."

"I feel the same way."

Ara nods, a knowing smile on her face. "You have my figurine."

Lily's hand jumps to her right pocket. "How did you..."

"I saw it. You were talking to Connor on the hill," Ara points over her shoulder. "We should talk."

"Ara—"

She lifts a hand to silence her. "I'll explain. Come on."

The girls walk back to the Big House, then Ara goes to her room and searches through her closet, carefully pulling out something from the back and holding it with so much reverence it makes it seem like it will fall apart if handled otherwise.

"You recognize this?"

Lily glances between the hoodie and Ara's face speechless. "That's... how?"

"I've had it since my fourteenth birthday," Ara smiles wistfully. "Mike lent it to me and then I never gave it back..." she sighs shortly, shaking her head. "I kissed him that night."

"You what?" Lily squeaks.

"I'll explain on the way."

Most campers are calling it a day by now, but it's still not curfew, so Lily and Ara walk around without being threatened to get eaten by the harpies. Pollo approaches, strolling behind them lazily while Ara tells Lily the whole story.

"But... that means he didn't turn you down?"

"That's beside the point." They reach the campfire, always burning. "I ran away from him. It was never the same."

Ara looks at the hoodie and then passes it to Lily. Her friend stares at it and connects the dots. "It wasn't you trying to move on, it was the opposite... you couldn't deal with your unfinished business."

Ara nods in a composed manner. "When love is ignored, it rots. My feelings for Mike put me off balance for an entire year—he haunted me, and I stomped on every milestone Leo and I had because I couldn't let myself be happy knowing I'd robbed Michael of it."

"And now Leo is gone," Lily mumbles deep in thought, caressing the hoodie. "And we're back to square one."

"No, it's different." Ara presses her palm on the fabric. "I've made my peace."

"And what are we doing now?" Lily asks, knowing her friend isn't done.

"Mike's funeral rites." Pollo bumps into her and she reaches up to scratch him. "We burned a shroud for his cabin... but this is for us." Lily squeezes her hand, shaking a bit while she waits. "Michael did so much for me, and when I say a part of my heart belongs to him, I don't even say it romantically—He gave away his life for us willingly, and I didn't know how to handle it..."

Lily hugs Michael's hoodie and nods, hastily drying a tear. "He was my brother when I had no one. He never asked me to be who I wasn't and only pressured me when he knew I could be a thousand times better. People like him come... just twice in a lifetime." Lily looks at her with an intent gaze. 

The girls hold up the hoodie, lock eyes, and prepare. "What now?" Ara asks hoarsely. "Goodbye is too final and also too late, sorry is inadequate, and thank you is overdone..."

Lily tries to find the words. "My nonna used to say life lasted enough for each human to understand its value, that's why no one lives the same. I think he learned everything he had to and there was nothing left for him once that was done... Michael, I'll never forget our time together, your spirit will always tie our family."

"Mike," Ara speaks tearily, a mixture of longing and bitter peace stirring in her heart. "I'll always wonder... maybe one day I'll get to ask questions."

The girls move slowly, risking getting burned, and they place the hoodie in the fire. Ara hugs Lily sideways, leaning her head on top of the girl's. Pollo leans closer too, and the girls stroke his mane.

"Things are about to change again," Ara warns quietly.

"Nothing ever happens the same way twice," Lily responds wisely. "That's how we know we're growing."

Ara hums, leaning into her friend's hair. "You don't have to move on and leave Michael behind if you don't want to. The whole trip I yapped about him to everyone, even Leo... it is easier said than done."

Lily lets out a short teary chuckle. "Perhaps I should try to move on, Queen B... It's been a year. But I can't promise anything."

"It has been a year," Ara nods emphatically, rubbing the back of her neck. "Too many things happened. I'm not the Ara that lost her Michael... But I am the one that lost Leo," she takes a shaky breath. "My soulmate."

Lily wraps her arms around her waist loosely. "I gave him such a hard time... I knew he was harmless, I just didn't like him because he was making you laugh more than Mike and I ever did."

"Don't feel bad," Ara dries her tears. "He hated you just as much."

"Why are we involving Nico in this?"

"Because—!" The door opens abruptly and Nico faces them, looking sleep-deprived and grumpy. 

"Do you two ever stop being annoying?"

"You okay?" Jason eyes him with concern. "You look—"

"Fine," Nico snaps at him. Then he speaks in a controlled tone. "If you're looking for Hazel, she's still asleep."

Jason shakes his head. "We're looking for you. Ara called for a meeting, she has something important to share with us..."

Ara nods, looking over her shoulder. "And I need the Romans to hear it, so if we could just hurry..."

"It was strange to see them here, Camp Jupiter," Jason says with a little smile, his mind somewhere else. "Now it'll be strange not seeing them."

"Do you regret not going with them?" Nico asks.

"A little," he pushes his glasses up, Ara still doesn't get used to how he looks. "But I'll be going back and forth between the camps a lot. I have some shrines to build."

Nico frowns. "I heard the Senate plans to elect you Pontifex Maximus—that's what this is about?"

"I don't care about the title so much," Jason replies humbly. "I do care about making sure the gods are remembered. I don't want them fighting out of jealousy any more, or taking out their frustrations on demigods."

"They're gods," Nico raises a brow. "That's their nature."

"That's what I told him," Ara mumbles.

"I can try to make it better," Jason gives them a look. "I guess Leo would say I'm acting like a mechanic, doing preventative maintenance."

The mention triggers Ara into rambling. "So you'll definitely agree with what I have to say at today's meeting! I'm telling you—"

"Ara!" Will calls over. 

Nico's soul light flashes so fast, that she doesn't get to see its color, but the girl is certain that's what she saw. 

"The group leaves in thirty minutes!"

"Going!" Ara turns to the boys. "Please be on my side?"

Jason and Nico share a look. "Why us?"

Ara turns around pouting, making her way to the Big House with both boys following her tail. "Everyone else will claim I'm biased."

MEET MY OC

New York City was wide awake when Sayuri was burning past the midnight oil. No slumbering eye was spared from the bright evening lights, the hustlers were still chasing their dreams on the streets, and the cars didn’t seem to stop for anything. Sayuri breathed in deeply, the city didn’t smell good but ever since she got here she has always felt a presence of energy that convinced her that she needn’t to sleep at all. Six months since, and this presence remained.

She got up from her makeshift workspace on her balcony and elected to lean against the railing. She was aware that America was going to be a whole new frontier, but she never imagined that things would be so different. She began to miss her family home. In stark contrast to this bustling epicenter of the world, instead of ambitious bulidings, there were cedars and maples so old that they were witness to her ancestors. Every person in this city was a stranger, while every person in her hometown was an old friend. The pace and gait of every matter here was hurried, but time seemed slower in her youth. And the silence… oh the silence… you could only hear the murmur of the leaves, the hum of the cicadas in the summer, and the reverence of mountains mighty.

She missed her grandmother’s weathered hand against her cheek and the fragrance of her cooking. She missed her grandfather’s kind smile, and his tight embraces. She looked back towards her computer. There was work to be finished and she can already hear her grandmother’s stern voice, scolding her to stop slacking around and get it done. Sayuri chuckled, and began to shuffle through her flashcards on electrolyte lab values.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Leo needed to get out of the Lair. With brothers of a flammable temperament, an annoying sense of humor, and an extremely imaginative mind, it was only a matter of time before a literal explosion occurred and he preferred to steer clear of it. The lack of assignments from the NYPD hasn’t been helping either, and with April and Casey on their Southeast Asian escapade, it was safe to say that everyone was bored and their extended time together has tensions running high. It has been three years since the Kraang invasion and the beginning of their partnership with the police. While Leo liked that they were being compensated now for their protection and cooperation and the cases did have its challenges, he can’t help but feel that he had reached a plateau in his life. Then again, when you’re a mutant turtle, life has a way of being naturally chaotic when you least expect it.

He strayed from midtown and began entering the Upper East Side apartments. It was a quieter part of Manhattan, and Leo often frequented the neighborhood whenever he felt a bit more overwhelmed than usual. He sat down at a random edge, overlooking Central Park. Just as he was about to cross his legs and slip into meditation, a rambling voice caught his ear.

“…Potassium range is… 3.5-5.2 mEq/L for adults and 3.4-4.7 mEq/L for kids… and my god do I really need to remember all this symptoms?! もういいよ！疲れたなー！”

It drew him to the edge of the rooftop and he slid silently into a fire escape at the side of a building. Right across from his line of sight his eyes met beheld her for the very first time…and she was ethereal. The terrapin leaned forward for a glance of the stray dark hairs that grazed her pale cheek. His eyes wandered across the bony prominences on her chest and shoulders. He breathed slowly as he watched her delicate fingers dance across the keyboard or when she caught them between her teeth. And her eyes… oh those eyes so lost in thought… when she looked so far into the night of the city her eyes were gleaming, iridescent pools of silver illuminated by all the lights. It was as if a drum was beating in his ears and another one was thundering against his plastron. There was no longer a plateau, only revelations. And every night, Leo snuck out to bear witness to them.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

Three weeks has passed since she first started studying at the balcony and Sayuri couldn’t help but feel that she was being watched. It was not comfortable, but it was not in an eerie sense either. She’s always possessed a strong intuition. So naturally, as a child, she was proficient at hide-and-sneak and guessing games. Especially when it came to finding her grandmother’s stash of secret sweets. That night, Sayuri stayed inside and dimmed down the lights. She decided to work on her dining room table, facing the glass sliding door to the balcony. It was not as if she was expecting anything to happen, after all it was only a feeling, and feelings are as easily passing as they were occurring. But when Sayuri returned from her kitchen past midnight after making herself a cup of tea, she surely believed that the sight before her was simply a figment of her imagination… He appeared to be a turtle with a stance of a man, standing six feet tall behind her glass sliding door, staring right at her.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

He couldn’t move. He couldn’t even breathe. It was as if there was a disconnect between his mind and his body and he couldn’t make sense of any of it. Should he wave and mouth a ‘hello’? Should he knock on her door? What if she totally freaked out and became a shut-in forever just because of him? Should he just lay there on her balcony and just shrivel up in utter embarrassment? Since the latter wasn’t an option, he fled. So swiftly that Sayuri wondered if he was ever real at all.

𓈒⠀𓂃⠀⠀˖⠀𓇬⠀˖⠀⠀𓂃⠀𓈒

For weeks, Leo did not dare to return.

And every night Sayuri remained at her balcony, toiling away at the hours until she stood up from her table for one final time of the night and looked out into the city. She didn’t know what she was looking for, but she was desperate to find it.

Will definitely post a part two soon! Please reblog and leave a like if you enjoyed it!

JJBA OC MASTERPOST

I've been cooking some original characters for Stardust Crusaders, and I decided that it's finally time to introduce them on tumblr.

NAME: Marvin

HEIGHT: 178 cm

PRONOUNS: he/they

EYE COLOUR: light blue 

HAIR COLOUR: blonde

BIRTHDAY: 16.8 (year not defined but they're in their mid twenties during the events)

ZODIAC SIGN: Leo

STAND: The Source (Ayreon reference)

Attacks:

Liquid Eternity (liquid stuff based attack, what does it do? Melt/morph whatever it touches?)

Forever (powerful liquid splash, ability to cut things with the liquid)

Lore stuff: Marvin lives during the events of Stardust Crusaders. He got their stand ability from Enya who shot him with the arrow.

Marvin was supposed to be turned into Dio’s underling, but they escaped and went hiding alone in the middle of nowhere.

Regardless of the effort to stay hidden, random stand users find Marvin and start to attack him. They end up getting taken to Dio, where he's tried to be made an underling again.

They however don't want to cooperate, but are good at hiding their fear towards Dio. Inside he's scared to death.

~

Marvin originally came from a self portrait and a little funny idea I got from my houseplants growing fast (see the comic above). Their stand is still a wip, the most recent design looking like this: ↓↓↓

-

Marvin meets Dio ↑↑↑

-

And of course every JoJo character needs their gay bro! Let me introduce..... ↓↓↓

NAME: Nikos

HEIGHT: 186 cm

PRONOUNS: he/him

EYE COLOUR: golden brown 

HAIR COLOUR: light pink/rosa

BIRTHDAY: 24.5 (same age with Marvin)

ZODIAC SIGN: Gemini

STAND: Ring of Fire

Attacks:

Used like a whip as the stand takes the form of a whip.

Unlike normal whips, it has a flame power.

Lore stuff: Nikos is a cowboy who befriended Marvin before he went hiding. They got separated when Marvin ran away, but Nikos has been searching for his friend since, finding him only after he's been thrown out of Dio’s mansion with the flesh bud planted in his head. Naturally the now evil Marvin attacks Nikos, but they are easily defeated as they were wounded when they got released.

Nikos doesn't have the skills to remove the bud, so he goes on a journey to search for someone who can help his friend.

Nikos also got his stand from Enya.

~

Neither of them has a surname because I'm too lazy to figure them out. Also you can see Nikos' stand on the full body art. It's a gorgeous and long pink whip. Yeehaw!

↑↑↑ Here's a aftermath to the picture where Marvin was meeting Dio. If you zoom in, you might see the flesh bud on his forehead. Poor Nikos has no idea what is going to come.

I'm going to turn my asks on so you can ask me stuff about these dudes, if you want to know more! There's still a lot of un-designed stuff and plotholes as they are very new characters.

September Zodiac Readings

This reading is for entertianment purposes only. Please take everything with a grain of salt. Enjoy!

Hey everyone, so in the past, I had anons ask for private readings, and I don't do private readings. Most of my readings I give are to family and friends. I've decided to give a reading to all the zodiacs, of course it doesn't apply to everyone. It could resonate with some people. I tried to have this out earlier, but I got busy, but hey better late than never right? Also I'm just picking random songs from my Spotify for you all.

Song: Advice by Devin Luna

LIBRA ( Sept 23 - Oct 22): Spiritual Advice: Sun + 3oC = Celebrate joys and success that is coming your way. The path you chose leads you to rewarding outcomes. Believing in yourself and your growth. It's almost your birthday, so celebrate with friends and family. Some of you might want to give yourself a small little birthday and relax at home. Enjoy social gatherings and make connections. This could be beneficial for you.

OC: Pets, Narcissist, Love Spell, Caution

Some of you might already have a pet (like a dog or bird) or you're thinking about getting one. If you're in a relationship, you're in puppy love. Very infatuated with someone. Narcissist now this could be you or someone around you, but they/ you is getting a bit big headed. You need to come down a bit.

Love Spell and Caution is a bit worrying. This means you're either not being your true self or you got into a relationship very early and things are moving too fast. Caution is asking you to learn more about this relationship and your partner.

Song: Mistral by DeLange

SCORPIO ( Oct 23 - Nov 21): Financial Advice: 2oS = Weigh the pros and cons. You're in a tight spot right now. Some of you are in a job you don't like and are wondering if you should stay. If you leave you're probably wondering about bills and if you can get a new job lined up. If you have your own business, don't rush anything. You need to think carefully. It's okay to reach out to others for advice. You don't have to take the advice, but at least you have someone who is trying to help.

Song: Home by Zimerman Orchestra

SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22 - Dec 21): External Forces: Death (R) + 2oS = You're resisting change and holding onto the past. With 2oS, you need to evaluate what/who stays in your life and who/what you're ready to let go of. If you're dating, you and your partner are arguing over things that happened in the past. When will it end? Let go of negative patterns.

If you're not over an ex, its time to try seeking help. You're falling into past memories of them. Don't let guilt and regret get to you. Just got a visual of a guy smoking this could be you or an ex. The person sort of reminded me of Matt Dillion from The Outsiders. Someone finds smoking as a way of handling stress.

With family, maybe you didn't have the greatest upbringing and if you're trying to talk to certain members in your family about it, just know they might not be cooperative. If someone isn't willing to help bring you peace, sometimes you have to do it on your own.

OC: Pregnancy, Liar, Honeymoon, Open Your Heart, Fire Sign, Divorce

Pregnancy someone around you is pregnant or you could be pregnant. I also see this as someone taking baby steps. Liar "Be careful of someone being sneaky". Maybe the person who is expecting isn't pregnant for you or someone is pretending just to keep you around. Very crucial but situations like this do happen. You could also be lying to yourself. Maybe you're acting like everything is fine when inside you're suffering.

Honeymoon "Honeymoon Phase. Attending Someone's Wedding". Open Your Heart. Time to be open, time to heal, time to let in positive energy. You've suffered long enough. Fire Sign (Aries, Leo, Sag) + Divorce. With these two, you, could be breaking away from all your problems. If you're dating someone who is a fire sign, you two are probably going to break up, take time apart, or actually get divorce. if it's not a person, things might change around fire sign months.

Song: 12345SEX - UPSAHL

CAPRICORN (Dec 22 - Jan 19): Current Situation: Fool + Star (R) = You're definitely jumping in without a care in the world. Not saying this in a mean way, but you're very adventurous and taking a risk. This is sort of a mix reading. With the Star (R) it means you probably had some setbacks or very soon you're about too. Its like this: one minute all things in life is amazing and them boom a breakup or loss happens or you've lost a job and then suddenly you get a call for a new one that pays better than the previous job and has better benefits.

Song: Bump It - Erykah Badu

AQUARIUS (Jan 20 - Feb 18): Reconciliation: Page of Swords (R) = Imma suggest you don't do it. If you go back there will be tension. You two might always point the blame at each other and someone seems they always want to "win" the argument.

OC: FWB - Either you and this person you were with weren't even serious. If you go back to an ex, its only for physical reasons.

Song: Holding On - Gregory Porter, Kem

PISCES (Feb 19 - March 20): Love Advice: 2oP = Your partner needs you right now. If you two haven't been spending as much time together or you haven't been paying attention to your partner struggles, it doesn't hurt to try seeing how they are. Some of you may have a partner who doesn't want to communicate their issues, but you can support them from afar. Just heard "take the load off their shoulders". Give them a massage, help with chores, do the grocery shopping.

For those who are single. Just have patience. You may think you're ready for a relationship, not yet. Some are you may have just gotten out of a relationship or you are manifesting what you want your next partner to be.

OC: Patience "Just a few more months. Good things come to those who wait".

Song: Good Riddance - Green Day

ARIES (Mar 21 - Apr 19): Message: 2oP = You've got a good head on your shoulders. You know how to deal with circumstances. You stay grounded. If you're dating it seems you know how to set boundaries with your partner. You're not afraid to tell them your wants or expectations in the relationship. You're not leading them on. You don't have time for playing games.

If you just got out of a break up, find yourself. Take the lessons learned from the relationship and move on.

OC: Interested for those who are dating, you're looking to see how your partnership works. Jealousy is stating that you may be dealing with some insecurities.

Song: Talking in Your Sleep - The Romantics

TAURUS (Apr 20 - May 20): Career Advice: QoC + Devil (R) + Magician (R) = QoC is all about emotions. You should work on emotional connection like understanding how people feel. Watch what you say because sometimes your words might sting. I know your probably not being mean, that's just who you are as a person, but not many people are use to how you joke or communicate.

M (R) you have self doubt. You probably missed some opportunities. Imposter syndrome. "Rediscover your confidence". Devil (R) I want to say its sort of similar to M (R) but you may feel like this job isn't worth it or you can't see this being a long term role. Find a mentor or someone who has been there longer than you. They may have some advice for you that can be helpful.

Song: No Me Queda Mas - Selena

GEMINI (May 21 - Jun 20): How Someone Sees You: 3oC + HM +9oW = You're fun, lively, vivacious. You're probably loud and wild after a few drinks. You're not the life of the party, but you do catch certain peoples attention.

You leave quite the impression with current partners / exes. What's intriguing is that with the HM, they want to be in your life but they also feel like things aren't going as planned. You date the opposite of you. You're the wild girl/guy who will do a hand stand at a party whereas your partner is just nursing a drink or at home ready to take care of you after a wild night. 9oW Loyalty is a big thing for you. Just like Aries, there's a side of you that doesn't play. I love this side of Gemini. You put in the time to make friendships and relationships work. You don't play.

OC: Cycles "Fate. Karma. Something ending, something beginning". New job, relocating, new relationship, coming together with a family, or adapting to a new lifestyle. Distance "You and your partner may be physically or emotionally distant."....Work related? Gambling +Intuition, you need to pay attention to the problem you have whether its addiction, gambling, or bad finances.

Song: Take Your Sweet Time - Jesse McCartney

CANCER (Jun 21 - July22): Financial Income: QoS + Knight of Cups + 6oC + WOF (R) + 5oP = You're very responsible. You have a payment plan made. You don't mind helping others put together a breakdown of payments. What can stay and can be let go. KoC I was going to say you're responsible due to past financial issues, so this is confirmation. Yeah you were stuck and you or someone helped you get out of it and now you know how to help yourself out of certain issues. You're always looking for ways to make sure that doesn't happen again.

6oC "gift or donation" "sharing resources". You might be moving back home or your home state/country in order to save up on funds before venturing out or buy/renting a home or family (like sister, brother, or cousin) is moving in with you and they help with rent. WOF (R) Things will change. Have some cash put into your saving account. Just a small emergency fund. Something is gonna happen and make you nervous. Its probably not even your fault, but you might feel like it is.

5oP "tight finances" "debt" You might be tight after paying off bills or a student loan. You might even give someone a loan and they refuse to give you back the money. You might be nervous to ask someone for help. Yeah, put together an emergency fund. Have some money off to the side saved up just incase.

Song: Pretty Peggy - Wolfmother

LEO (July 23- Aug 22): Relationship: 7oW + Lover (R) + 10oW (R) = You're very into the person. You're fighting for this relationship. There are going to be people who disagree with this relationship, but you don't care. You're going to try to make this person your "forever" person. Even if you bump heads, you still want this person. Lovers (R) Well now I know why I got the obsessed oracle card. This relationship is one sided. You're both fighting but someone is "obsessed" and sees you / them as someone as a important figure in their life. Someone (whether it be you or the person) is afraid of getting hurt.

All I can think about is you know how girls are like "I can change him" in this circumstance you can't.

10oW (R) You bond over past baggage. You think this person can help you with your burden and vice versa. There's something hot and intense about this relationship. I think its time to let this person go.

OC: Obsessed "It's not my fault you can't get me off your mind"

Song: Broken Clocks - SZA

VIRGO (Aug 23 - Sept22): Hopes and Fears: 10oC + King of Pent + 9oC = Hopes: You want happiness, emotionally fulfillment. You know all positive vibes. KoP Stability. 9oC you will be rewarded in the end. This doesn't have to mean wealth, it could be that you got tickets to a concert or you passed a class.

Fears: Things not going your way. Lets say you and your friend had a fight, and unfortunately it was so bad you lost a friendship that you felt should have lasted a long time. "Money isn't everything" like it pays bills, you can treat yourself, but at the same time don't lose the value of wealth. The things we want the most, might not make us happy.

OC: Vacation + Gambling = You're about to travel soon, be wary of addictions being an issue. Bad finances.

[lunartflare64]

I did it. I made an OC to be Leonora's GF. The shipper in me wouldn't let her get away with being a disaster lesbian without a GF. So here is the other disaster lesbian, Julie! Personality and background under the cut! (Be warned, I ramble)

So! Julie! She's a year older than Leo, making her 19 to our girl Nora's 18, and an artist

Julie cut off contact with her parents when she was 14 (they sucked), and two years later she found herself mutated, and since her roommate has a green keel-bellied lizard...she got stuck with bright blue-green scales and a pretty long tail

It sucked those first few months, obviously, but she was already kinda a hermit, and what's done is done, so she wanted to focus more on finding what her new normal looked like

Weirdly enough, very few mutants were content to live semi-normal lives, mutant communities were very.....combat focused. Even if Julie was interested in fighting, her tail would give her a massive learning curve, so.......no, that's not happening

So how will she contribute to the mutant community? Well, tattoos don't really stick around through the mutation, and getting tattoos the regular way doesn't really work well (fur and scales don't cooperate with tattoo guns, and that's before you take into consideration things like shedding), so she'll focus on bringing tattoos to the mutant community! Luckily her roommate (a biologist in college) took her mutation well and is happy to help figure out how to make that actually possible

Its not just tattoos, she learns how to do a wide variety of piercings and body mods, her only limit being actual surgery (she has a strong stomach but not that strong). She believes its important to give these options to mutants, its not mandatory, but if a mutant decides they want to have fun with their form, have control over how they look, then they see a future with their mutated body. Its acceptance. The majority of them didn't choose to be this way, but now that its done they should have the chance to have fun with it, should they want that

Outside of her new career, Julie has found a love of parkour. It started out as something she did for convenience, since the rooftops are safer to travel on for mutants than the road is, but it turns out the species she was mutated from are super big on climbing, so when she's feeling particularly pent-up, scaling the nearest skyscraper is the ideal workout for her

I haven't quite worked out how Julie met Leo yet, but Leo's siblings weren't there for it. They had no idea about Julie for the first few weeks, and even after they found out their sister was seeing someone they still didn't meet her for a while after that. Leo hasn't really had many opportunities to have a life completely separate from her siblings, and she loves them, but Julie was a breath of fresh air. Aaaand Leo wanted to keep her GF to herself for as long as her nosy siblings would allow.

Julie is a pretty smart person on her own, she started one of the first "mutant" businesses, of course she's smart. And no matter how chill she is, she likes to stick to her schedules. But with Leo......that all kinda goes out the window. For both of them. Their braincells cancel each other out and suddenly they're staring at a livestream of a goldfish tank for three hours straight.

It has it's downsides, schedules fall to pieces after they start dating, everyone hates it, but it also gives them the rare opportunity to just...forget their responsibilities. And since neither of them do that ever, anyone who plans on interfering with it is gonna find waaaay too many ninjas in their house the next night

Okay, I thiiiink I'm done rambling about Julie. For now. Time to give my wrists a break, and then I can move on and start drawing these dumb lesbians, I love them so much
