Everyone wishes the best for themselves, and you aren’t an exception, but without doubt you make it your life mission to have the most perfect looks. No one touches your hair, only the most elite hairdressers can, in other words and in a more general sense you’re really picky in your appearance, the way you present yourself to the world, physical body, beauty, presence, ambition, your outward behavior.

Picky in whom you let get close to you, picky in your sleep/ sleep environment, you can’t just sleep anywhere, like you may need the place to be absolutely tidy, only sweet when there’s a sweet calming aroma wafting through the air, and on your silky sheets only too. Picky in your fears, picky in your hidden desires, who you chose to spill your past with.

ink to paper — k. ayato

mutual/oblivious pining + "don't look at me that way."

synopsis. yes, he thinks. what would he do without you? well, his schedule would be a mess, for one. and he wouldn't know how to cut bunny ears into his apples, either.

wc. ~1.2k

— for @kruinka and @ph-xntasy / @yuellii 🫶 | event masterlist ✉️

You've cut his apples into petit rabbits today.

The ink at the end of Ayato's brush has soaked through his page at least three times since he started scribing, big globs of black ruining what could have been a beautiful sequence. And the culprits for distracting him taunt him with their little red ears.

In fact, they've been sitting for so long that the flesh of the fruit is starting to brown. How long has he been unproductively glancing up and down between his paper and his breakfast? 

He had told you that they were in season as a passing comment the last time he saw you—nothing more than a throwaway line to make conversation. Yet here you are, showing up at his table with a tray of his usual breakfast and something extra. Something hand-crafted and too cute for him to even fathom putting into his mouth.

It seemed that you had a special place in your memory for him. He could bring up the smallest wish and it would show up on his desk the next day.

It was your job to know him inside and out, after all. Your sole duty as his scheduler. Even so, you made time to do things outside of your job description if only to please him. You always looked so happy to see him, too. He's starting to wonder if you have a crush on him.

He glances at his clock. While he is busy with work, what harm would a few minutes do if he were to be a little distracted?

Kamisato Ayato cannot cook.

He remembers fondly the only time he had ever demonstrated his kitchen skills to you. After unpacking his favourite tempura from Uyuu restaurant, he proceeded to line the shrimp up on a plate and decorate it.

You found humour in his apparent lack of expertise in the kitchen, chalking it up to his spoiled upbringing. He hadn't believed you then, thinking that you were being too harsh as well as too distracted by the melody of your laugh to bother dwelling on it. But now he's here, trying to do something as simple as cutting apples and failing miserably.

What spurred him on to do this in the first place is beyond him. Maybe he thought that the smile on your face when you saw his efforts would be worth all the trouble, or perhaps he was seeking your approval since he admired your ever-growing list of skills.

From servant to sparring partner to cook to personal scheduler, you were quickly making yourself a regular part of his day. He envied your adaptability, having little opportunity as a noble to try.

He figured this would be a chance to start. To learn, if it were to make you happy or proud.

Oh dear. Who knew cutting apples was such a daunting task?

Ayato thought this would be simple—cut some apples into cute shapes, make you smile, perhaps keep you around a bit longer to discuss it than you would usually stay. (Lately, he's been craving to hear your voice more and more.)

But this blade is tiny, unlike his hefty sword. It's too nimble for his fingers, and he's sure he has nicked himself at least a dozen times by now.

If you were here, you'd probably scold him for being so careless. And you'd set aside time in your busy day to help him, he's sure. It's in your nature to be kind which makes him miss you all the more.

Just as he's about to give up and call it quits, the door slides open.

Archons. He's been so engrossed in his woes that he had forgotten it was almost time for your scheduled meeting to go over his other plans for the week.

The scraps of peel and sloppily shaped apple slices are so incriminating that he doesn't even bother hiding it. You both stare at each other from across the table, completely unblinking and still.

"Um..." You strain out, clearly attempting to hide your amusement. "Hello."

He coughs awkwardly, placing down the paring knife and trying to uphold as much dignity as he possibly can.

"Hello," he greets, unable to meet your gaze anymore. "My apologies. Our meeting slipped my mind."

You gently pluck a rabbit from the plate, rotating it around in your fingers to get a better look. They're sloppy, for sure, with jagged edges and tiny slits where you know his knife slipped. And they don't even resemble anything remotely close to rabbits in the first place, more like blocky V-shaped thingamabobs.

You glance up and down between the rabbit and the man behind it, who looks strangely flustered considering his usually calm temperament.

"Don't look at me that way," he says quietly, wooden end of the blade gently knocking against the table as he deflates.

"Are these... bunnies?" You ask him in bewilderment.

"They are... supposed to be rabbits, yes."

Complete silence fills the room until Ayato feels as if he can't breathe. Coupled with the way your eyes are scrutinizing his attempts, he wants nothing more than to melt away.

And then you laugh. You can't stop laughing, it seems. Doubled over onto the table and fighting for air between giggles.

He can't help the softening of his expression, the warmth in his chest. If this is all it took to get you to smile like that, then who cares how embarrassing it is that he can't even cut fruit correctly?

You round the table, plopping down next to him. Oh no. He can't control his racing heart when you're leaning in so close to him, so close that he can feel the rumble of your laughter in his own body.

With your shoulders pressed together, body resting comfortably against his, you take the blade and slice of apple from his hands.

"I'll show you how," you offer. He watches intently as you make the first shallow slits through the peel, then gently slide the knife across the top. Too busy admiring your skillful hands, he almost instantly blurts out:

"Can you please show me again?"

You look at him funny, brows pinched but a smile still seeping across your face. You show him another time, expertly cutting another slice. And another. And another.

Unconsciously, or perhaps following the quiet voice in his heart, his head falls atop yours. You sink into him, allowing him to rest against you without complaint.

"Hm, am I your personal comforter now?"

"I suppose you are."

"You know, if you actually pay attention you might be able to make your own breakfast."

"Mm..." He hums when your hands don't stop moving despite your words. Instead, you laugh again. And again, there's the ever familiar thrum of his heart.

"Oh, dear Commissioner. What would you do without me?"

Yes, he thinks. What would he do without you?

Well, his schedule would be a mess, for one. He's far too busy to keep track of it all on top of his other work. And he wouldn't know how to cut bunny ears into his apples, either.

He would rather you keep him company anyway, bunnies and all.

[smokesandsonatas]

can i have some headcanons of what our twisted wonderland boys will do after they graduate? you can choose only 4 if there is a limit, thank you so much

Twisted Wonderland characters after their graduation at NRC

- This really tickled my brain so I'm going to write assumptions for everyone. I drafted this around last year then only got to post this right now, haha. -

Heartslabyul

Riddle Rosehearts

After his graduation from NRC, and bagging home the highest honor for an exceptional mage, I can see Riddle furthering his education. If there's such a thing as Ph.D. in Twisted Wonderland, Riddle will pursue that. I can also see him becoming a "Double Doctor," a medical doctor, and a doctor of Philosophy. Not only that but Riddle will also pursue law, along with magical medicine. A doctor and a lawyer, all in one. Riddle would go on to be an internationally recognized mage. He will also be an advocate of Mental Health education, fueled by his past and his mission to never let anyone experience what he went through.

Ace Trappola

I can honestly say I see him being recognized as a famous basketball player or entering the military enforcement of Queendom of Roses along with Deuce. Occasionally, Ace will perform magic tricks along with his brother, which is always a hit of course, someone even offered the Trappola brothers to appear in a reality show but Ace had other plans. In his 3rd year, he will become the Dorm leader of Heartslabyul, while Deuce will be his vice.

Deuce Spade

Will become a high-ranking magical enforcer, his salary will allow him and his family to live comfortably, especially his mom. Once the Queendom of Roses gave Deuce an award as the 'Hero of the Year,' he broke down into tears as he hugged his mom. Will be buddies forever with Ace.

Cater Diamond

Will be a famous vlogger. Be it traveling or fashion, Cater will be a famous influencer. He will also have a successful studio with workshops on how to run a magicam account successfully. If there's a fashion show, he would always be on the VIP list, as he is acquainted with Vil. If he feels burned out, he'll try to stay away from social media. If Cater can't form long relationships, he'll just leave his mark in the world with his vlogs. #LonelyButNotReally

Trey Clover

Owner of a famous bakeshop. His family's shop will prosper under his guidance. On every occasion, their sweets will sold out. One time a magazine listed Trey as the "sexiest pastry chef," and Cater and his other friends will never let him live with it. The Clover's Bakeshop occasionally partners with Mostro Lounge, and when they do, everything sells out within seconds.

Savanaclaw

Leona Kingscholar

He does not need to work, but he is a genius as Leona is still a prince of a noble family. Have you seen those alpha males ads? Leona will be all of that. A CEO of his own company and at the same time a diplomat of Sunset Savannah to other nations. His business started out as a mining corporation, gradually expanding into construction. A noble man who many people - beastmen and beastwomen - fawn over with. A millionaire. A bachelor. Once, Farena, the current king and his older brother, called to meet with him and Leona put harshly down the phone. Leona's reason for doing this? When he realized that Farena tried to marry him off to a noble from some rich kingdom 'for his future'. Leona's reply? Is a simple scoff and a very deep, "Fuck off."

Ruggie Bucchi

Will be an assistant to Leona. The next generation of Hyenas will not experience poverty as Ruggie did. His all-around skills will come in handy as a secretary. Ruggie will be a finance speaker. He will sometimes get his hands dirty. What? Hyenas are used to it. Fear not, he's still the same old Ruggie, just a little more rich.

Jack Howl

After graduation, Jack will get a lot of offers to be a professional magift player. Leona will offer to sponsor him tho, so he doesn't need to worry about financial things. Will be an advocate of physical health, his muscular physique is no joke. I can see Jack being a well-known magift player and a track and field competitor, with the help of Prof. Vargas as a head coach.

Octavinelle

Azul Ashengrotto

In every nation, there's a branch of Mostro Lounge. Azul will be listed as the "Top 100 most successful bachelors," along with Jade, possibly Floyd, Vil, and Leona. Azul would go on to accumulate a lot of awards for his splendid business skills. Will own a share in almost all known companies. He'll have to pull strings from Idia to let him invest or buy shares from Jupiter Enterprises. Azul will be compared to the Sea Witch due to how influential he is. Once his mother passed him their restaurant in the Coral Sea, Azul's work will quadruple, and so is his income. Because of him, the mermen's view of octomerpeople will change. But for a darker secret, Azul will be known as the Mediator, and every Mostro Lounge place will be known as a neutral territory for members of the 'other' world. Of course, the Leech twins will still stick with him.

Jade Leech

Jade will inherit their Father's mafia legacy, along with Floyd. The Leech family will prosper under the twins' rule. Jade will open a mushroom business, as to what kind of mushrooms he's selling Jade will smile in response and say it's a fresh mushroom from the mountain. Jade's favorite base of operation would be on land, it's just more fun and chaotic when he watches humans stutter and pass out once he interrogates them. Jade will work as Azul's concierge, working for both him and the Leech family. And in the morning, he'll be the vice manager of Mostro Lounge. But sometimes it does get a little boring. Once a company famous for being greedy with their demands easily relents when they realize it is The Jade Leech that will conduct business with them. Such a shame, Jade would've loved to see the look on their faces.

Floyd Leech

Floyd would be proud of his shoe collection! By now he would have a hundred pair of shoes. Of course, he's still with Jade and Azul, acting as the brawns of the trio. He will make it a point with them to only give him interesting jobs, if it's boring? Floyd would abandon that. One time he learned to drive, he brought his sports car to another country and accidentally got pulled over in the Queendom of Roses, to his surprise it is Mackerel (Deuce) who pulled him over! Floyd paid for the ticket and then went on to hang out with him. Floyd's favorite part of his job is squeezing everyone that owes them unpaid debts!

Though Floyd just doesn't understand why Momma Leech wants to introduce him to a mermaid. Jade is laughing at first, but not anymore once his twin realized that their Momma intends to introduce him to a mermaid too! Floyd will never forget the look on Jade's face - that's probably reflected on him - once their Momma gushes over about 'baby eels'. What? Mermaid eels have little populations. They have to do their part, don't they?

Scarabia

Kalim Al-Asim

Kalim inherited his father's multi-million business. Through his easygoing personality, Kalim is well-loved by everyone. He established business trade routes with almost every nation, while still honoring his personal ones. An example is with the Felmier's, so that their apples will be enjoyed by everyone in Scarabia. The threats grew along with the Asim's already immense wealth. Don't worry, Kalim by now, will know how to defend himself using his unique magic. He just had to know how to reply with the various marriage proposals going his way, it pains Kalim to reject every single one, you know.

Jamil Viper

After his graduation at NRC, Jamil would take a year or two for himself. He will travel across Twisted Wonderland, and by this time Jamil's perception of the world would change. Finally prioritizing himself and is selfish for once. When he will come back, however, he will be met with a warm welcome from the citizens of Scalding Sands and the Asim and Viper family. Jamil would go on to become a successful businessman and bodyguard best friend of Kalim. But this time, they're on equal footing.

Pomefiore

Vil Schoenheit

There's no spotlight if there's no Vil Schoenheit. He will become the highest-paid actor for straight 5 years, until Neige just slightly beats him, running off a few hundred thousand madol. But in the same year, Neige surpassed him in pay, Vil went on to win the Best Actor award for his work in a movie as a misunderstood villain protagonist. His movie even screened in the coral sea! As if there's no stopping him, his successful cosmetics company took off Twisted Wonderland by storm, his eye palette alone is sold out within seconds.

Rook Hunt

Oh dear, Rook will also inherit the Hunt's family business. One moment someone can see Rook in Quendom of Roses then the next he would be spotted on Sage Island. Of course, Rook will not stop admiring beauty and arts! He will fund archaeological studies, theater, art museums, galleries, and even beauty pageants. Rook will be one of the art and beauty industry's most important benefactors.

Epel Felmier

Will be known as the "pretty boy of magift." Not in a bad way, but more like a compliment. His talent is honed thanks to his NRC club. Sometimes Epel would attend fashion shows that present him as a "manly man", you know wearing suits and all of that. Because of his new-found fame, the Felmier's apple business will bloom, in part thanks to Kalim.

Ignihyde

Idia Shroud

Will become the head of S.T.Y.X, but will also manage the Shroud's position in Jupiter Enterprises. On top of that, Idia will develop one of the best MMORPG and FPS games Twisted Wonderland had ever seen. Additionally, Idia won't just stop in developing games, he will also develop magic-infused medical devices that will drastically change the healthcare industry, crediting the Idia Shroud for its invention.

Once a magazine included Idia in their "Top 100 most successful bachelors," he almost sued them if not for Azul, Ortho and his parents convincing him it's a good thing. But Momma and Papa Shroud can't help but wonder when will they have grandkids, the Shroud's need an heir to continue their duties, you know.

Ortho Shroud

Ortho will stay at his brother's side! But his looks will drastically change, if the Ortho from before looks young, the Ortho from the future will have a much taller body, but he will still regain his childlike curiosity. Only the future Ortho is more mature and more open to take time for himself. He will ask Idia to send him off to faraway lands to gather information and to also satiate his curiosity about the real world. Ortho will become independent yet still close to his brother.

Diasomnia

Malleus Draconia

Malleus' coronation is one of the most liveliest and solemn celebrations Briar Valley had seen for the last 5 centuries. Under King Malleus' rule, his kingdom will prosper. Faes and humans alike will come to a much more common understanding. Although the valley still heavily relies on magic, technology will become available, as a courtesy of the friendship acquaintanceship of Idia.

On some days, Malleus will truly get busy. Managing a country and it's affairs is no small feat. Through trades and partnership with every Kingdom, from Savanaclaw to the Coral Sea courtesy of his two alumni schoolmates from NRC, Briar Valley will prosper. It just gets annoying sometimes when the news reporters, the common folk, the fae senators, and even his own grandmother will ask him about an heir. Malleus still needs to find someone who will stay by his side, and it's not an easy thing to do.

Lilia Vanrouge

Sweet old man Lilia is on his way to retirement. In the chapter of Diasomnia, we learned that his magic is running out. Well, all good things must come to an end. Though his eventual retirement in the Land of the Red Dragon came true, he still returned. And Lilia had his fair share of adventures. Because Malleus is busy with the preparations for his coronation, Lilia is there to help him. On the occasion he's free to do anything, Crowley offered him a teaching position in NRC, which is the spot left open by Professor Trein. Lilia accepted, and for a semester he become a teacher, quitting right after to attend Malleus' coronation.

Lilia liked to think a had lived a full life. He was it all. A fearsome general, a caretaker of the young prince, an adoring father, and a good friend.

Sebek Zigvolt

No one dares to Disrespect the King under my watch! That is what he would occasionally say. If one of Briar Valleys' own Fae advisors disrespects Malleus, expect Sebek to speak, and even draw his sword. Yes, he's part human and half Fae but that doesn't mean he's not powerful enough to defend the king.

With this Sebek will grow in closer relationship with his grandfather and his mortal dad. His parents' dentistry business will expand, and for some time Sebek's face is the model of it, which made him embarrassed, yet he still loves his parents nonetheless.

Silver

I can see Silver honoring his promise to Lilia and staying by Malleus'side. However, that is considering if his feelings don't change. Silver will quickly become one of Briar Valley's most beloved humans, and for some reason, he always gets mistaken as an RSA graduate. Once Vil invited him to cover for a sick model in a fashion show and he declined but Vil already presented his picture to the photographers. For some reason, his picture was leaked to the public and Silver's name is trending for days. Some say he's a child of the king, and others compare him to Neige's beauty. His face was everywhere in magicam, with the hashtags "the most handsome sleepy prince," and the "dreamy prince of dreams."

[Knuckles is sleeping] Shadow [knocks on the wall softly]: Knuckles. [knocks softly]: Knuckles. Knuckles [mumbles in his sleep] Shadow: … [knocks normally and talks at a normal volume]: Knuckles. Knuckles [wakes up and sees a form looking down at him in the darkness]: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Oh, my Chaos! Shadow!? Shadow: Yes? You frightened me. Knuckles: I--? What are you doing in my bedroom? Shadow: I knocked on the door, but you didn't hear it. Knuckles: What do you even want, weirdo? Shadow: I was having a little trouble sleeping and I just thought, seeing as you're up, we could talk. Knuckles: Talk about what? Shadow: Oh, I don't know. Normal stuff. Weather, why Rouge is such an attractive and desirable partner. Pick one, your choice. Knuckles: Shadow… Shadow: Did you know that Rouge has a perfect driving record and enjoys the insurance discounts that go along with that? Talk about a keeper. Knuckles: …Okay, what did Amy tell you? Shadow: Okay… She told me that you were thinking of ending it with Rouge. Knuckles: Okay, you listen to me. I think it's really cool you're trying to protect your sister, but this is none of your business. Got it? Shadow: Excuse me. She's not my sister. And I'm not protecting her. It's just that I'm a big fan of homeostasis. Do you know what that is? Knuckles: Of course not. Shadow: I expected so. Homeostasis refers to a system's ability to regulate its internal environment and maintain a constant condition of properties like temperature or pH. Knuckles: Aha. Worst bedtime story ever. Shadow [sighs]: My point is I don't like when things change. So, regardless of your feelings, I would like you to continue dating Rouge. Knuckles: Listen, I have a lot to figure out, and until I do, you are not to say a word to Rouge. Do you understand? Shadow: …I do. Knuckles: Good. Now, get out. Shadow: Hm… Knuckles. Knuckles: What? Shadow: Whatever you decide, please don't hurt my friend. Knuckles: …That is the last thing I want to do. Shadow: Thank you.

Just Guys Bein’ Dudes: A Needlessly Huge TED-Talk About Luca & Alberto’s Relationship

Ready for some big-brain BS?

Well, ready or not, here’s a “little” dive into how I interpret/perceive Luca and Alberto’s relationship.

Note: I’m referring to them as my own headcanon versions of them as men. It can certainly be applied to them as young adults and teens for sure, but I’m diving into ‘Ciao Luca’ territory specifically. So, there, just being clear on the who’s who.

What’s their deal anyhow?

Are they romantic partners? Are they attracted to eachother, yanno 👉🏻👈🏻? Buddies? Buddies with benefits? Are they even a couple? Are they husbands? What’s their deal?

So, a couple years ago when I was starting to get really busy with the headcanons, I went on a tear about their relationship to lay down some kind of clear foundation for it. I felt alittle conflicted at the time about how their relationship was going to feel/act like.

To me, because I love ambiguity, I wanted to keep that energy going from the original source material…but with alittle “oomph”…considering there’s been time and maturity tacked on. They can’t just be Pallin’ Around forever, something’s gotta give with chemistry that strong imo.

If I’m being honest, them being point-blank romantic partners felt too cliched and predictable/boring. Courtship, wooing, marriage…snore. It just didn’t feel like ‘them’ to me. It bordered heteronormative somehow. I was just …PUTTING MYSELF TO SLEEP.

Not to say they aren’t romantic, because they certainly are in their own right! It just isn’t the defining Vibe of their relationship.

As a queer lady with a pretty open mind in terms of what defines a relationship and/or bond, I believe that love expression is on a spectrum. Different strokes for different folks, yanno?

I scooted myself over to that old filing cabinet in my brain with random Greek Philosophy tid-bits (that I was impressed wasn’t put thru the incinerator) and I got polishing.

I remembered a few terms, like storge (family love), Eros: romantic, mania: obsessive/stalkerish love, agape, philia, the list goes on.

We’re gonna focus on PHILIA, typically deemed affectionate and/or “brotherly love”, I think also falls under platonic love.

We’re going to come back to this later☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻

As a couple of seamonsters (first and foremost) the human concept of love may not necessarily compute to them. Not that they get confused or turn their nose up at it, but rather it’s more boxed-in and rigid than, I guess, fish love? Haha.

Example: homosexuality, bisexuality, and heterosexuality as concepts are human inventions to help humans navigate their life and their identity in the world, be part of a tribe, and potentially find mates.

They’re social constructs, like gender conformity, and Mondays.

Seamonsters really don’t have that. They’re similar to humans in alot of ways, but in terms of attraction, love, and social awareness, they just kindof ride the wave and go where the current takes them.

Opposite sex pairings likely happen more often because [gestures] instincts and Makin’ Fries. But just like humans, same sex relationships happen just as much!…but seamonsters have no concept of homophobia (strictly a human invention) so there’s no discouragement or imposed fear of the relationship…it just happens if it’s meant to and the world keeps spinning. [deep sighs]

Luca and Alberto are aware of human society and customs (especially now that they’ve been living amongst them for atleast 15 years). So, they still try to do-as-the-humans-do sometimes. They know that they feel a strong bond to eachother that can’t be ignored, and when humans sense a similar bond between each other they express it by being physically intimate, or giving gifts, or creating things for eachother, etc.

So, basically, it boils down to “I love my friend, so I wish to express that love for him like that [gesture].”

Now bringing it back to Philia up there!👆🏻

That particular source defines philia as brotherly love, both must be men (in the Greek system), they respect and take pleasure in eachother’s company, bond through exploring philosophical truths, and sexual intimacy or attraction is optional.

This other source takes it a bit further saying that we could be diving into “friends to lovers” territory which is the aforementioned “oomph” I was referring to. The bridge into Eros stuff without being completely rooted there (ie your usual romantic pair).

Their relationship isn’t based on physical attraction, but began as a close friendship that progressed into something more. Not built on lust, but on mutual affection and respect for eachother.

They are an “unlikely” pair. Where a hockey hug became alittle tighter, and the joined hands in a good old “Piacere Girolamo Trombetta” started to linger.

They feel safe with eachother, they love and prefer eachother’s company, they share eachother’s worlds and feel deeply connected in them. Alberto cooks meals for them because he loves Luca, and Luca gives Alberto [SPOILER] because he loves him back.

They share a “I can’t quite put my finger on it but I feel safe, warm, and happy with you, I enjoy your company and what we have, I love the feeling of you being close to me, exchanging warmth and heartbeats, and I feel like this is more than going out on dates or ‘picking out curtains’.” kind of thing.

They’re roommates who kiss and ���play house”. They are in love…but express it in their own unique way. They are openly affectionate. They keep people guessing, they confuse the neighbors, they have an “inside joke”.

Alberto lays on the housewife schtick: straightening Luca’s tie and sending him on his way with a packed lunch.

They call eachother heteronormative terms of endearment, mostly to be cheeky. Sarcastic “Honey” or “Dear” followed by someone affectionately ending up in a headlock.

They love to play with the human version of “married life”, little do they realize they’ve grown genuinely accustomed to it.

They’re queer but have no name and nowhere they’d rather be except each other’s arms (that one place that makes perfect sense).

They aren’t married…they never can get married…but that doesn’t stop them from sharing their homes, their beds, and a last name written on their Christmas cards.

In conclusion, humans say they’re gay.

The Paguro’s say “They built a farm together.”

can you write uhh hurt/no comfort with wriothesley from genshin‼️‼️ we’re always above ground while he’s underground and never has time for us for example; he never takes us out to dates or does anything for us. also make reader gender neutral PH ANS ANS CAN I BE 😋anon :3

its out 1st anniversary and you sent a letter to him about hanging out and celebrating your 1st anniversary.

he’s so busy with the prisoners and papers underground so he doesn’t get the letter til night

you thought he was ignoring you and didn’t care about you anymore. you were so tired neglected you couldn’t take it anymore so you were gonna break up with him tomorrow.

of course! welcome, 😋 anon!! happy to have u :)

Summary: Wriothlesy has never really paid attention to you in your relationship. He’s always working underground, never taking you on dates or giving you any affection. Never again.

Notes: RAGHHH love writing hurt no comfort also possibly its ooc

• At first, Wriothelesy gave you all the attention you could ever ask for. You wanted a hug? He could give you a big bear hug for hours!

• but recently, he hasn’t been around. He hasn’t answered your calls, at first you just thought he had the ringer unplugged on his desk phone.

• After asking Neuvilette(?) if he had called your boyfriend recently, he said he had called him many times.

• …And he had answered without letting two rings go by.

• You were just done with his bullshit. You mattered just as much as his job, if not more!

• Being the amazing person you are, you decided to give him ONE last chance. Sending him a letter on your anniversary would prove his love for you.

• If he answered, or even called, you would stay a bit longer. God forbid he ignored you. If he did, you would leave him.

• Writing your letter, you wrote a few condescending words in. Things like;

• “Since its our anniversary, and you touch your computer much more than you’ve ever touched me, I thought we could go on a nice day out!”

• or something like that. Sending the letter, you hoped you would get a response back. Its not like you wanted to break up with him, its just you deserve someone who’s “i love you”s hold weight.

• you didn’t sign up to be ignored by your own partner!

• After waiting the entire day, and getting confirmation that your letter was received by him, you never got a response.

• Not a call. Not a letter. Not even a word through mouth message. Just nothing.

• After getting packed up, you left him one last letter on the counter neatly folded.

• Well, it wasn’t really a letter. It only had a few sentences in it.

• “Write this shit in your notebook, baby, since you never wrote love letters to me. Don't forget all the things I've taught you, you'll need it for someone who isn't me.”

thank you for reading! i didn’t get this request exactly, but i think i did ok <3

[adobe-outdesign]

Heres a fun request: Review every mainline special pikachu! (Ex: cosplay pikachu, spiky ear pichu, lets go pikachu)

(Note: I'll be keeping these brief as there's a lot of them. I'm only counting stuff that has a different form (so no partner Pikachu), and the g-max is excluded because it would fall under a regular Pikachu review, which ironically I haven't gotten requested yet.)

Spiky-eared Pichu is a Pichu with a spiky ear. It's such a minor and arbitrary change that it really doesn't really special in any way—I'd expect something like this to be a gender difference, not an entire super-special form that can't even be transferred anywhere. Plus, if all you're going to do is change the ears, couldn't you at least change both of them?

Pikachu in a cap is, you're never going to believe this one, Pikachu in a cap. I feel the same way about these as I do Battle-Bond Greninja—it's weird to include Ash stuff in the games because Ash doesn't exist in the games, and this is supposed to be your Pikachu.

Anyway, that aside, it's literally just Pikachu wearing a hat. It's cute but there's nothing particularly unique about it beyond that. It also can't evolve, which is a major bummer for Raichu lovers (it's me, I'm Raichu lovers).

Cosplay Pikachu gets points for having the black marking on its tail. It's a minor thing, but it's distinctive enough to notice and compliments its ears nicely. Granted, I don't know why cosplaying Pikachus all have different markings and are also all female for some reason, but still, at least it has something minor going for it.

The costumes are also pretty nice—they're actual full-on designs that affect the entire appearance, instead of the hats which were, well, hats. Quick thoughts on each:

Pikachu rock star: not sure I would've realized this was supposed to be a rock star, and it's a little messy visually. The eyebrows are fun though.

Pikachu Belle: My personal favorite. For whatever reason Pikachu looks 20% cuter to me when its ears are down.

Pikachu Pop Star: A pretty standard frilly dress outfit, nothing bad but not that memorable. The skirt feels weirdly high up the body?

Pikachu, Ph. D.: I really want to like this one the most, given the cute glasses and little ^ mouth, but the hair is just a little too disconcerting for me, even if it is just a wig.

Pikachu Libre: Points for being the only costume that leans into Pikachu's original theme and typing. The Pokeball on the shirt feels a bit too busy, but it otherwise is a fun design.

(Also, this one can't evolve into Raichu either. :()

Anyway, tl;dr: The spiky-eared Pichu and cap-wearing Pikachu are pretty by-the-numbers and not really anything all that interesting, but the cosplay versions are pretty fun at least. If you like Pikachu/Pichu a lot, you'll probably like all of these just fine.

Home for My Heart: Forever Means Forever

The divorce rate in the world has gone up in the last half century. People have forgotten what marriage is. What marriage means. Thankfully, some people have pre-marital counseling or even their own spiritual beliefs. In Kylian Mbappe’s case, he has you. 

---

A blaring alarm wakes you up from your slumber. Not that it mattered though. You have not been able to get a consecutive amount of sleep from all the excitement and anxiety. The same cannot be said for your partner though. You swear. The man will never wake up from an alarm no matter how loud and obnoxious it is. Truth is, when you moved in the Kylian, you became his alarm clock. You have no idea how he would get himself up for training before you came along. 

Hoping out of bed, you turn off the alarm and with your pillow, you slap it across Kylian’s face.

“Wake! Up!” You repeat several times. The groggy man manages to snatch the pillow from your grasps and you with it. Kylian tucks you under him, his weight crushing you. 

“You’re too loud. The ceremony doesn’t start till two...retourne te coucher.” Kylian mumbles. From all of the festivities and your busy schedule for the past three days, you cannot fault Kylian for his tiredness. Still, you do not have time to spare. Go back to bed.

Pushing him off you, you say “Nuh-uh. Just because the ceremony doesn’t start till two, doesn’t mean we can just let time pass.” You rip the comforter off of him. “Now, get your ass up and get ready for the day. Breakfast is in thirty minutes. We have until nine to eat.”

Your little feet scramble to the en suit bathroom. While you are brushing your teeth, you adjust the faucet to make sure the water is lukewarm. When you are satisfied with your newly, minty breath, you reach to your left to start your skincare. Cleanser. Toner. Serum. Eye cream. Moisturizer. SPF. 

Doing what the Korean women do, you make sure to pat the products in. You are not sure if it makes all the difference, but there is no harm in doing so. When you look at Kylian, he reminds you of when you kept bugging him to do something about his face. The man is an incredible footballer with more money than he knows what to do with, but he never took care of his face. 

---

“I don’t get it!” You toss your phone on the couch in frustration. 

Kylian looks at you in concern. “Don’t get what, cherie?”

Pointing directly at him with all seriousness, you declare, “Your face!”

“My face...?”

“Yes!” You say exasperatingly. “You’ve been surrounded by models and women in general, yet none of them have taught you how to properly care for your face!”

Kylian scoffs in amusement and slight offense. What the hell is so wrong with his face? He has dated models and singers before. He even managed to pull you by his side, so there cannot be anything wrong with his face. 

“What do you want me to do about it then?”

“I want you to take care of it.” You pointedly tell him. “You take care of your body so why not your face?”

“But I moisturize it every day. Isn’t that enough?”

You look up to the ceiling in disbelief. “No, babe. With all the sweat your face has collected over the years, I’m surprised it isn’t covered in pimples. You have to wash all that off and then ensure its pH balance. Then you have to spot treat if needed, serums, and then moisturize. - No! Lotion doesn’t count!” Kylian laughs. 

“Actual moisturizer that’s formulated for the face. And you can’t forget about the SPF during the day.” You say in a “matter of fact” manner. 

Seeing how serious you are talking, Kylian knows you are not joking. “Does this really mean that much to you?”

You give him a firm nod. 

Hoping that this will be worth it, Kylian says “Très bien alors bébé. Montrez-moi comment prendre soin de mon visage "brique". Happy that you got your way, you drag your boyfriend off the couch and up the penthouse stairs. Alright then baby. Show me how to take care of my "brick" face.

--- 

Since you became his teacher, Kylian has made big improvements towards his face. His skin is now smoother and more hydrated. No longer do you have to look at his Sahara Desert of a face. Putting on some sweatpants you yell out to your soon-to-be-husband that you are heading to the dining room. 

Ever since you downloaded Pinterest, you have been dreaming about your wedding. Even more since you looked at wedding venues all around the world. When Kylian proposed to you, you knew that you wanted to get married in his home country. You two picked out a beautiful chateau in the country side as your venue. It makes you feel like a fairytale princess. 

The closer you get to the dining room, the louder the chatter gets. Little kids’ voices were the loudest. Your mother tongue mixing with the French and English language. Then there is the chaos of last-minute wedding preparations. 

“Auntie!”

Picking up the little girl you sit on her your hip. “Good morning, Iris!”

Your other nieces and nephews come up to you to greet you a good morning before finishing their food. Your father and mother are talking to Kylian’s parents. When they first met, you were worried about the language barrier. Your parents know English, but your father is more comfortable speaking his mother tongue. It is just easier for him to express whatever it is he wants to say. Kylian’s parents speak English, but like your parents, are more comfortable speaking French. Every now and then do you and Kylian have to be translators, but nothing either of you mind. 

Over time it got easier for the four of them to find their own means of communication. You remember Kylian’s parents taking yours out to see the Eiffel Tower when you all spent one Christmas in Paris. It was recently when you realized that your marriage with Kylian will mean that different cultures will be mixing together. 

“Hey!” Your older sister calls out. “Hurry up and eat. The photographers and videographers should be getting here in the next twenty minutes.”

Four Hours Later:

“Are you guys ready?”

“Hold up. I’m about to cry.”

Everyone in the rooms laughs, Kylian included. Someone from behind you gives you a tissue. Folding it up in a square, you dab your bottom lash line and the corners. The makeup artist spent a good hour doing your makeup and you will be damn to ruin it because you are an emotional wreck. Calming yourself down you hand the tissue to someone else and smoothen out your dress. Quietly asking another if you look okay, to which they give you two thumbs up. 

“ Ok, je suis prêt maintenant.” Okay, I'm ready now.

Turning around in his dark maroon tux, Kylian’s face widens with joy. His dimples and mouth wrinkles are on full display from how big he is grinning, Kylian’s eyes are crescent shaped. 

And of course, you had to ruin the moment. “I’m about to cry again.”

Kylian laughs and pulls your towards him, wrapping you up in his arms like the countless times before. 

“Vous êtes belle. La plus belle femme que j'ai vue.” He cups your chin and gives you a kiss, careful not to ruin your painted lips. Your manicured nails caress his cheeks, the dimples and wrinkles have not left his face. In the background you can hear the clicks from the photographers, but you quickly forget they are there. All of a sudden, Kylian lifts you up by the back of your thighs. To stabilize yourself, you keep your forearms on his shoulders and lock your fingers behind his neck. You are beautiful. The most beautiful woman I have seen.

After your shared moment with Kylian, you two went outside to do a first look with your parents all together. When they turned around, each pair of parents went to their respective child. Wilfried shakes his son’s hand and Fayza gives him a big hug. You and your parents share a hug. Your mother is getting teary eyed and your father, while he does not show it, is a little saddened to see his youngest child getting married. 

He has not told you this, but he was sad when you decided to move to Europe. By that time, he has already met Kylian a handful of times. Your father respected (and still does) Kylian, but this is his little girl. Your siblings have their own families to take care of so until you moved, your parents were closest to you. He and your mother are thankful that you try to call them at least once a week. 

For two hours, your entire family is having their pictures taken. Kylian and his family. You and your family. Both combined (which was a little hard since there is little kids present). 

Twenty Minutes Later:

Your closest family and friends are in one area. They watched Kylian being walked down by his parents. They watched as the officiant came down the aisle. The watched as Achaf came down with your maid-of-honor. The watched as your nieces throw flower petals on the ground, and as your youngest nephew holds onto a small ring box. Then, they watched you being walked down by your parents. Now, they are watching you and Kylian vow your lives to one another. 

“Before, when I was younger, all I thought about was football and how I could be the best player in the world while writing history. Never did I think I would meet the woman, who goes beyond my dream, in a chain gym. Lifting forty-five kilograms. You are the most extraordinary woman I’ve ever met. You have a heart that loves to give more than it takes. As your husband, your life partner, I vow to take care of that heart and protect it from whoever, whatever tries to take advantage of it. Myself included. I cannot promise to always be there. Nor can I promise to always make you happy. But I can promise that I will try. I will try to be your shoulder to cry on. Your safe haven.”

Gosh, sometimes you hate how charming Kylian can be. You have to take a couple of deep breaths in to stop the tears from escaping the corner of your eyes. 

“Years ago I told you ‘if everyone broke up because things got too tough, we would all be single.’ I stand by that to this day. I have not told you this, and I think today might be the perfect time to. Whenever I attend a wedding, I always hear the phrase ‘In sickness and in health’, and I take it into two meanings. One: the physical health of the spouse. If you were to ever get sick or hurt, I will be right there to nurse you back to health. Even if it takes years to do so. The second meaning: the metaphorical meaning. Out of the two this is the one I deeply cherish because it’s about the state of the marriage itself. Come hell or high water, I will not leave your side. I cannot say that it will be easy, but I can say that it will all be worth it.”

There is no soul in this area where they cannot feel the love radiating you between you two. A love that they know, will last a life-time. How lucky they are to witness such strong feelings. 

“Do you, Kylian, take ___ to be your lawfully wedded wife, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?”

“I do.”

“Do you, ___, take Kylian to be your lawfully wedded husband, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?”

“I do.”

Your nephew opens the velvet box and you each take each other’s rings. Kylian puts yours on first. The silver metal slides onto your finger with ease. Its cool metal helps calm your hot skin. Then, you slide the ring on Kylian’s fingers. 

“I now pronounce you husband and wife.”

Kylian did not even wait for the officiant to finish. He cups both hands on your face, and kisses you with the most passion he ever has. Smiling, the officiant moves out of the way and claps with the rest of the crowd. You are only able to pull away for a slight moment before being pulled back in. Yeah, there is no doubt you and Kylian love each other. 

10 Minutes Later:

Cuddling on the couch, you and Kylian are enjoying the quiet atmosphere. While you were wedding planning, you saw that a couple of brides had a moment alone with their husbands. A way for them to get away from everything and enjoy being a newly-wedded couple for a couple of minutes. Also, you have a present for Kylian that is for his eyes only. 

“Bébé, où vas-tu ?” A confused Kylian asks. Lifting up your dress, you grab a book from the top of a random table. Handing him the book, you sit a little ways beside him. Baby, where are you going?

“Open it.”

Man do you wish that you recorded this moment. Kylian’s eyes blow wider than you have ever seen them. He also kind of broke. Like his mind is buffering as it tries to understand what he is looking at. When Kylian’s mind does figure out what he is looking at, he looks right at you. 

Smirking, you tell him “You said you wanted one. So now you have one.”

“But you said you didn’t want to.”

“I didn’t, but I eventually gave in.” You shrug. 

Kylian, with joy, flips through the book but not before taking a good look at each photo. Before he can reach the end, Kylian closes the book and looks at you with lust. He leans in for a steamy kiss, but his plans are fooled by someone knocking on the door. 

“There’s five more minutes before the grand entrance.” It is your wedding planner and day coordinator. 

Getting a kick out of Kylian’s problem, you push yourself off the couch and to the door. 

“C’mon, babe. We have a party to enjoy.”

Mumbling to himself in slight bitterness, Kylian says “I’ve got a party to enjoy.”

[moth-yknowtheartist]

oh my god this one took me forever for some reason HIII

second business partners installation right in time to come before the new ep!! I've got a bit of a story in mind so hang tight hopefully it turns out

also pay little mind to the actual mechanics of the last panel, I'm a cybersecurity guy not a hardware guy HAHAHAHAH

palette for this installment is Infinite Tommorrows Await!

[rom-e-o]

The boys (including Bob) all being invited out for a "business dinner" by a prominent but sleazey associate that ends up being in... an adult entertainment venue that's geared mostly towards the gentlemen. This associate doesn't bother to mention this to the boys for whatever reason, so, naturally, the wives are invited along, because, unless it was top secret, why would you not invite your lovely, charming better halves along for an evening of what you presume to be fine dining? Needless to say, NONE of the couples are very impressed, but this associate insists on having the "meeting" here, and because he is someone with significant pull on high places and would be ideal to have an ally in, they all bite their tongues and go along. Cue the ladies kind of putting a damper on this man's (and, really, a lot of men's) evening as they naturally kind of monopolize a lot of the working girls' time with genuine and friendly chatting. Yes, they definitely offer up help and services to lots of the girls who would like to get out of the business but feel stuck. Yes, they also discuss beauty tips. And work out routines. And like be connections. And just have lots of positive interaction with the girls working there, because these are three core Pack women, why wouldn't they connect with these women?😅. Maybe they even talk with a depressed man they find in there or help a guy who's trapped there by his mates but wants to get back home to his own girl so he doesn't screw things up with her.

And the hubbies are just as enchanted with their beloveds as ever.

Ooooh ... I love this! And how absolutely in-character that entire scenario is for them. They would SO be the type to walk into a room of topless waitresses and dancers and immediately start making friends.

The associate brings them to this private area, just swarming with ladies. Poor Bob is red in the face the WHOLE time, and can barely glance up from the floor. Thankfully, Ethel leads him along. ("Careful, watch your step.")

I feel like the ladies are mostly amused by the showboating. The obvious display of 'manliness' in the form of this entertainment display. It's incredibly transparent.

As they settle in, waitressed bringing them drinks and rubbing shoulders, the ladies start working their magic around the table.

"Mmm...someone on here is wearing Neroli Portofino by Tom Ford. Who is it?" Connie asks.

And one of the more timid girls, who obviously is hesitant to be there, stammers, "O-Oh, me. I'm sorry, is it too fragrant?"

"No, it's lovely! Perfume smells different on each person because of pH. It smells delightful on you."

"Oh, thank you! I-It was a gift from my mom."

The head gent starts snapping for another round, but oh no. The ladies talk over him.

"Your mom? Is she local?"

"N-No. Um. She lives in Lavenham. You wouldn't know-"

"Suffolk, right?"

"N-wait, yes!"

Meanwhile, another convo with the woman starting to dance, Bess says, "Oh, hey, excuse me! I don't mean to leer, but your legs look amazing! Do you also do pilates, or ...?"

"Oh? Actually, I do kickboxing."

"Kickboxing? Oh my gosh, you're kidding. I do, too!"

"Not shit, really? Honey, we should got o class together. I've been dying for a spar partner to help me keep my reps up. Want to trade info?"

"Absolutely! Here, sit down right here."

The men are flabbergasted as their entire entourage of ladies completely shifts attention away from them and onto the women in the room. EVEN when he sends that group away and bright new ones into the room, the convos continues. Make-up. Morning routines. Where did you go to collage? Aw, your dog is a viszla? How long have you had her?

Ethel, meanwhile, insists on taking the trays from the girls hands and helping pass drinks, and she is giving these men NO victory. No sashay, so giggles. Just a 'here' and she practically drops it into their palms and goes back to bantering with another woman about her child starting preschool. "Oh, you must be so excited for your little Marguerite! Congrats, pet! Does she knows what she wants to be? ... London's first astronaut? Well, I'll be watching the skies for her!"

The hubbies are enamored, and so proud. They already weren't going to let this sleazeball walk all over them, let alone use an adult venue to turn this into some pathetic excuse for a pathetic excuse of a stag party. But to see their wifeys give these ladies a good time while completely talking all over the plans of this sleazeball? Oh, it's glorious.

[robo-writing]

ohhhh ooooooooh you know how when bearded men eat out their partner’s 🐱a lot the pH causes the hair to get slightly bleached?????

elwin’s goatee getting a bit brighter and redder due to his munching habits towards sweetheart and sweetheart alone, he’s never done it for anabella (obviously, why would he spend time there when he doesn’t want to) and when she hears (vulgar) gossip of the castle maids discussing their husbands slight-ginger beard habits she chalks it up to a wive’s tale or “lower born women’s bodies” affecting their better half’s in a bad way

little does she know….

(slight tangent i know cid’s beard would be bright ginger, clive’s as well)

Elwin’s beard has slowly become brighter, a fact Anabella didn’t notice or care for until the rumors began to spread.

Talk of illicit activities, the things commoners find the time to whisper about in their boredom. None of which Anabella cares for, to her the words of non-royals are worth less than the oxygen spent to speak them. But on this day, she can’t help but have her ears perk at the conversation her maids think she can’t hear.

“Have you seen Lord Rosfield’s facial hair as of late?” She says, dusting at the bookshelves. “Lighter and lighter as the days go on, imagine that…”

“Quiet!” The other answers, the two grinning as if they know something she doesn’t. She scoffs, going back to drinking her tea in silence.

What would maids know, except for how to cook and clean? So busy with idle gossip, perhaps she isn’t giving them enough work—if they have time to chatter the day away like birds they have enough time to scrub the linens.

But still. There’s a spark of curiosity she refuses to admit is there, so she holds off on her retribution in favor of listening.

“I’m just saying, he seems to be an awfully voracious eater—“

“You are awful!”

“Is it my fault for pointing out our Lord’s insatiable appetite?”

They go back and forth like this for a while, and eventually Anabella leaves the room to get away from this nonsensical drivel. Eating? Appetite? Speaking in code, or tongues perhaps, Anabella scolds herself inwardly for even entertaining the words of the lower-born for a second.

Ironic, that it was her servants conversation that stopped her from finding the truth. So distracted by her own thoughts, she walks right past the doors of the royal chambers, where Lord Rosfield brings some truth to those rumors.

If she had stayed for a second longer, she would have heard the muffled cries of a woman who was certainly not his wife.

If she hadn’t been so distracted, she would have witnessed first hand just how insatiable her Lords appetite truly was, between the thighs of his childhood love.

But the next day, she does notice that Elwin’s beard has become just a shade lighter than the rest of his facial hair.

Annie I find it funny yet sad, both Henry and Chris took their fandoms for granted. They both had a massive fandom who got them trending and watched every movie. They both meet problematic partners gaslight their fandoms and now where are they career wise. Don’t bite the hand that feeds you. I think the reviews for PH is gonna hit him hard. We seen how Ghosted affected him. But I’ve zero sympathy because supporting him will now include supporting that troll’s lifestyle which I won’t do.

Yep, I never thought this will happen.

I looked at Henry's IMDb and his upcoming projects. I think we can skip at least 2 projects from that list. I doubt the Rosie Project and Highlander will happen (soon). So he has 2 projects for 2024 and it looks like he's busy with another Guy Ritchie film. And Chris, well, he has RedOne and a minor part in Scott Pilgrim. That's not good, that's actually very bad. We know he's not going to auditions anymore, so he needs a really good idea to get his name back in the GP's/ director's/producer's minds.
