Part of your world
Chapter list!
chapter 1 : Fish out of water
chapter 2 : A fish emergency
Prolouge : A silent promise
“Rafayel! hurry up now you have to swim faster! we have to see those lanterns again up on the shore!”
“Rafayel! there you are!! Come on, I want to show you some trinkets I found!”
“I’ve got gadgets and gizmos a plenty, I've got whosits and whatsits galore.. don’t you want more..?”
“Rafayel…flippin your fins, you don't get too far… legs are required for jumping.. dancing!”
“Rafayel, do you think it’s possible for me to be a part of that world..?”
“Rafayel… Rafayel… Rafayel!”
A guy with his messy purple locks, sits awake in the middle of the night seemingly in distress as ragged breaths clouded his hearing…..another dream, another false reality that seems so hard to reach. Who knows how long it has been for him..? 600 years? 800 years? Just to hold her again in his arms, to comb her hair under the sunny sky, to talk about the upper world beyond the vast seas, to adore her in his arms…maybe the old him would never answer her question of wanting to be a part of the world she has dreamed for so long. The man sighs as the storm in his heart calms down into gentle waves, looking at the glowing red mark right at his heart. A sign of devotion, a bond never to be severed, and a reminder that one day, they would be fated to reunite again. The moonlight seemingly shines ever so brightly, as the ocean gently moves, carrying the promise that the sea god has made hundreds of years ago.
‘I promise, this time, I'll show you the dream you yearn for so much, I'll protect you, I'll love you again and again no matter how long and how hard it is to find you…just wait for me, my bride, my seashell, my (name).’

Meet more of the family, Miss Stark & The Youngest Barnes | Marvel OC
———
Liv Stark ⌚️
Tumblr media
Full name: Olivia Charlotte Stark-Vega
Nicknames: Liv, Vi, Lottie, Lola, Clary, Char, Charlie, Miss Vega, Snark Central
Age range: 5-18
Height: 5’1
Relationship status: Single
Background: American with Peruvian, Polish and Italian descent
Father: Anthony Stark
Godmother: Elizabeth Stark
Godfather: Jason Underwood
Brother & Sister: Rei and Morgan Stark
Step-mom: Pepper Potts
Uncles: James Rhodes, Happy Hogan & rest of The Avengers
Abilities: A bit of geek and hacker due to her love of technology, basic hand to hand combat since she enjoys boxing and her witty personality. She’s young so she hasn’t gotten plenty of skills yet.
Personality: Liv has a smart touch, gentle soul, sweet, charming and easy going. She is a bit of a bitchy girl and stubborn about everything she does. If she wants to do something, she will probably sneak out to get it done. She got a some of anxiety and a nervous twitch (which would grow over the years since Liv is afraid of being alone and in the dark about a lot of things), this creeping fear and sadness that will take over her if not careful.
- However Liv is very accident prone, she’s always getting hurt one way or another, giving everyone an heart attack since the age of 9 since she’s always been a active little girl. So in result she give Tony and something for Rei to roll his eyes about.
- From an young age, she has always been into tech, jewelry and over all. Wanting to build and grow a her own little things, she was a Stark it’s a given! She watched a lot of movies so she got creative with her ideas.
- Random fun fact, one of her favorite movies is 10 Things I Hate About You, just because she likes Kat Stratford’s aesthetic and attitude. But it’s many Action Movies and Rom-Coms that she will watch with Pepper, that she enjoyed. It’s where she gets her inspiration for things.
- She adored the idea staying in the lab, tinkering and cleaning up the inventions that were made. She practically lived in there, staying home to help and learn. It caused never want to leave that house in general, having a bit of mouth on her after hearing the adults always speak their minds (so don’t be surprised this girl start rambling and throws out whatever bullshit that appears in her thoughts), but it allowed her to be a safe within those four walls.
- It didn’t take long for her to start filling up a notebook with designs on how to incorporate technology into fine jewelry (aka The Stark Watch, necklaces to tracking and security measures, bracelets to be use for defense purposes and rings can be transformed into gauntlet). 
- She’s always been bit of business women! Wanting to create products to help people, keeping an eye on things from behind the scenes, represent and model for Stark industries and such. 
- But she was still so young, so her parents and siblings didn’t want her to grow up so soon in the spotlight of it. She’s a kid! And she understood that, it bothered her but she understood why. So she stays hoping her time could come where she can help out the group.
—> Because little did she know that theses little gadgets and gizmos that would be incorporated into the ideas her father and older brother would use as fashion purposes in the future with their own suits. Aka they’re Iron Man suits!
—> I know you may be wondering about her family life, well Liv raised well per say. She had to move around a lot as a child, especially since Tony never wanted the public attention to be on her just yet and her mother wasn’t sure that she would taken care of. It took convincing from Pepper and Jason to let her stay home with them, so everything was fine after that.
Tumblr media
Her relationship with her father was an nice one. When it comes to parenting his kids, Tony was a rather dramatic, embarrassingly loud at times, a little cocky and stubborn parent per day, so it’s a bit difficult to get him to calm down and talk softly with him. Tony cares a lot about his children, having Rei and Liv to take care of but he was always busy with the company having to arrive home late, events he had to attend and ending up being tired.
Other than that, he tried to make time for his son and daughter, bringing them to the lab and everywhere he could. Even if he got in trouble afterwards. Tony always tries to inspire his daughter to do what she loves and experience things, be caring, make sure she was alright too and etc. But they make it work!
Ohh, did I forget to mention how annoying and protective Tony can be as a parent? He will take everything very seriously or not serious at all, acting out if something goes wrong and he tends to be questioning his motives. Even blaming himself if something bad were to happen to his family. Tell Tony Stark you have a crush? He sends JARVIS to keep an eye on you. Ask Tony for something like a new backpack for school? He buys you something else.
In his defense, he does everything with so much love (even if he doesn’t always portray it in the best way).
Tumblr media
Her relationship with Rei however—you wouldn’t think it but rather wholesome, since she’s the little sister he never exactly wanted. They were completely opposite to one another, he’s grumpy and she’s easygoing, he rather work alone in silence and she rather work with music blasting and etc. But as much as Rei may be annoyed and want to throw his little sister out of the house, deep down he cares about her, even though he didn’t show it to her very often and he’s very protective of her ever since he was a child.
Rei and their father, always trying to keep Liv out of harms way and safe at home. Even if they tend to fail at times.
Since Tony was always busy, Rei tends to be one to look out for Liv and keep her in check, being her personal bodyguard for everything she does. If it was up to him, Rei would wrap his baby sister in bubble wrap and not let her leave the house!!
When they were kids (and even now) Liv would follow Rei wherever he went and wanting to copy him, be like her big brother because he always around the corner with something snarky to say to her and a huge potty mouth (it resulted in her having a huge attitude as well). She will always be the one to encourage Rei’s designs for suits and talk to dad about something.
He talks and she will absolutely love to listen to him (even if 85% of the time she has no idea what he’s talking, cause he’s smarter than her at a lot of things.)
Sometimes you will find Liv in a moody way shutting everyone out of her room and just curled up in a ball, similar to brother and to be honest, it concerns Rei a bit when it happens. But he would probably try to snap her out of it, even not he will let her be in her moody moments. He knows how it is
At the end of the day, no matter how different they were with one another and the paths they choose, they cared in their own way. Even if when they’re public, they act like they don’t know one another.
—> As for her relationship with the Avengers and Young Avengers! Ooof let’s stick to first impressions, shall we?
Tumblr media
She met all of them when she just a child, joining Rei and Tony on a simple basis day with the group. She first started watching her father talking with Bruce Banner, and she took a liking to him very much seeing how nice, gentle and reserved he can be. But there an edge to him, that she found to be cool.
As for when she met Rick, it was when him and Rei were chatting. Her first impression of him, to her the young man is that he looked like a old school Disney Channel Star with a nice smile and warmth, with a glint of mischief in his eyes.
So when she saw Bruce, Rick, Rei and Tony all work together in their own separate labs blasting music so loudly..the only thing Vi said, “Oh no, there’s 4 of them!”
When she met Natasha, she just cool and rather chill per say acting like the nonsense agent with a soft side. Romanoff’s daughter on the other hand, she was just curious about her and Vi liked that.
Same thing goes for Clint and his daughter, they were just cool people. She was always amazed with the skills they had, and a part of her always knew that Clint Barton was a family man. And she was right, when they appeared at the Barton’s Barn years later.
Meira and Luna were just so relaxed, gentle and sweet girls. She adored how they acted with their teammates and siblings, especially Meira since she was a little sister just like her. Sweet and snarky.
Ethan was just super chill and suspicious of everything, Rei didn’t like him and carried Vi alway from from very quickly. Cole was just so mischievous, snarky smile and tossing jokes every day, making Vi laugh or snort. But a part of her respected him greatly, cause she heard he was VERY powerful.
Liane, well she didn’t like her right away. She annoyed Olivia very quickly and she sent painful glared toward the girl who tried to make friends with her. After a while she softened toward Ms Felton, but it took a long time cause she saw Rei didn’t like her either.

Daphnia Barnes-Wilson 🪫
Tumblr media
Full name: Daphnia Ramona Wilson-Barnes 
Nicknames: Daphne, Nia, Daph, DD, Sparky, Daffy, Fifi, Birdie,
Other name while on the run: Davina, Robin
Age range: 7–20
Height: 5’7
Relationship status: Single
Parents: Bucky Barnes & Sam Wilson
Background: American with Mexican and Chilean Origin
Aunt: Sarah Wilson
Uncle: Steve Rogers
Sister: Laurie Wilson
Brother: Benjamin Barnes
Abilities: Marksmanship and Acrobatics, having took some gymnastics classes. She’s also a bit of a fast learner so she’s fluent in English, Spanish, Russian, Portuguese and some French.
Personality: Gentle, a little broken due to being let down a lot in life, warm-hearted, clumsy, a bit shy and humorous at times. But if she’s anything like her fathers, she’s stubborn enough, a little self-sacrificing, and willingly to help no matter what.
- Sam and Bucky have been together for a while now, since their chemistry was a challenging one it always hard to settle down and figure out what they want. However a house, family and future for their kids was always one of them.
- They already had Laurie and Benjamin, so they thought two kids was enough as it is. But things took a small turn when they stumble at a orphanage in Brazil for a mission and met this no named little girl who gave both of them the most honest smile.
- Sam has always been one to have a big heart, so wanting a big family was always part of that. So his heart spoke before his words ever could, wanting to adopt her. Bucky Barnes on the other hand was a little hesitant—well more like worried—about the whole thing, he always wanted a little piece of normalcy and he got it with Sam and their kids. But adding a 3rd? That was a lot of responsibility, but he caved as soon as he hung out with the girl.
- To be honest, they saw a bit of themselves in her. So she was adopted when she less than 10 years old and brought into a family of oddly comforting heroes. They named gave her a name and did everything they could to make her feel comfortable. Welcomed.
—> So Davina (or Daphne) as they called her grow up with her parents and siblings. As loved as she was, she always felt alone and feared that it will all be taken away from her. Especially with the fact that her parents were heroes themselves, there was always a chance that they can end up hurt or worse, if not careful.
- But Bucky always made sure to tell her and every single one of his children, “Don’t worry, I’ll always come back home to you guys, no matter how long it takes.” And Sam would tell them, “You’re our kids, we will always love you and be there to tuck you in bed whenever we can.”
Tumblr media
- Sometimes they would be gone for 2-3 days, maybe a week or a whole month leaving the kids in care of family and friends. Laurie was the oldest of the siblings, so they could handle themselves very well and or sneak off to join the fight ending with them in trouble. Benjamin being the second oldest, so he rather stay behind during the fight and stay with his sisters and friends.
- Speaking of fights and travel, when if plenty say battle isn’t place for children. Sometimes Sam and Bucky had no choice but to bring there kids with them to places like Wakanda, Stark Tower, France and or let’s say Germany for instance. Even though it was a hassle to bring children along for the ride, it was an interesting learning experience and a way to test out their kids
- And to be honest, Daph and her siblings enjoy it a little too much. Cracking jokes, running around, exploring different places and meeting interesting people, and creating new ideas among one another. It was a field trip for them sometimes.
-> And if your wondering, yes Daphnia is team #HateJohnWalker! When she found out, she was ready to take her baseball bat and wack his head with it, demanding the Shield back with a glare. Bucky couldn’t be more prouder of her in that moment laughing, meanwhile Sam rolled his eyes unable to believe what he heard.
- Random fun fact, she played baseball before she was ever adopted and had really good aim, depending on where she was hitting. It was a trait her siblings carried on as well, especially Benjamin even if he was more reserved one, he had a great aim.
- She always loved any sport that involves movement and play, soccer being one of them (since she lived in Brazil for a while). She liked to think she was rather talented when it came to that, even if she was a problem when it came to being around other kids, having a small temper and glaring at other people. Mainly, it was her insecurity that she hid underneath her own glares. 
- Matter a fact all the kids were talented in their own way ever since they were younger. Daphne when she was very little, believed at the time that she didn’t have any good talents and wasn’t as smart enough as it is. Until Sam took her out to the shopping and noticed that she stopped in front of small gymnastics building with wide eyes, softly grinning at the sight. She pleaded for him to let her walk in and see the girls, he nodded letting her watch. As she did, Daph realized she wanted to join in on the fun and dance as well. Sam couldn’t stop himself and called Bucky for his opinion on it.
- She started her classes soon enough and enjoyed it for the most part, her body was rather sore after some classes. So she wasn’t too happy about that part. When Bucky told Nat about it, the Russian spy came in shocked and said, “If she wanted to learn some acrobatics, why didn’t you come to me or Lydia? Barton would’ve showed her!” 
- Bucky just rolled his eyes and replied, “Cause she wanted that to be her own thing. And it doesn’t hurt to have some normalcy around her, Romanoff. I think it’s a good thing..” And Bucky was right about that, since he loved seeing his husband and children happy, enjoying themselves and having a break from the hero world. Hell, he goes to every talent show, buys items needed and participates in whatever is needed. Even if he’s not too happy about it at first.
- Of course as much as acrobatics were her own thing and all she ever wanted to do, so she can have that skill set. That didn’t stop the idea of having good marksmanship in her left corner, she was already good with a baseball bat and Bucky was more than happy to show the basics of how to hold/use a gun to his kids. Sam wasn’t too pleased about that idea though saying, “They’re too young!”
- And to be honest, Daph was pretty good with a gun. Swinging it swiftly and tossing the gun in her hands, holding it up to her target (which was an old target board hanging outside nearby the trees). However that didn’t mean she didn’t play around with the gun at first, holding in her hands and pretending to be a spy. “Barnes, but you can call Agent Daphnia Wilson, at your service.” She said with a giggle, humoring herself.
- Daph was always a little silly, cocky and daring. Not thinking first and asking questions later kinda gal��oops! So it lead her to getting in trouble sometimes, breaking certain curfews if she out at the movies with a friend (like with one of the young avengers), being a little lazy about things and running away from her problems like a champ. But by the end of the day, she was good girl.
-> Speaking of Young Avengers and Older Avengers. You’re probably wondering who’s her favorites are and first impression were of the teams huh? Well, here are your answers.
Tumblr media
Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff were a given to being liked by her, due to her parents being friends with them. I mean come on, they are basically Captain America, The Black Widow and the rest of Cap’s Quarter.
Moving down the list Thor was always a silly man to her, hearing stories how he speaks in old English and is very noble when it comes to the things that he does. According to the stories from Sam, he was a rather loud fella with a good heart.
Clint Barton, she took a liking too finding his simple ways of life and honest charm to be a nice thing to see. Plus Clint has a similar murder stare to Bucky, so it was funny to see their resting faces when they’re in the same room together.
The man, the myth, the legend himself (or that’s at least what people like to say) Tony Stark was always one of a kind. She was very nervous to meet all of The Avengers, one of them being Stark having seen how the persona he displayed on TV screens and the stories. But in reality, Tony was just a genius goof with snarky humor, so it lighten up her mood.
It was like Bruce Banner sensed her nervousness from a mile away since she appeared in The Tower. He noticed the child behind Sam Wilson holding her jacket, leaned down to her level to kindly introduce himself to the girl and watching parents reactions. Soon enough, with Bucky leaning against the wall with a nod of encouragement, Daph started talking to Bruce with such softness and gentleness.
As for the rest of them, she met them some time later. The Young Avengers. She met the Stark siblings, Rei wasn’t in the lightest mood having no like the idea of meeting Barnes or Wilson’s kids but Olivia gave her a warm welcome and waved at her before rushing off to meet her friends at the mall.
Natasha Romanoff’s daughter Rochelle was kind enough to show her and her siblings around, chatting with them knowing it felt to be the new kids. Daph liked her reddish hair and kind smile.
Liane was something else, having been on a rambling mess when she met Daph and trying to figure out what to do with her plans. Laurie laughed as her sister snicker at the blonde, meanwhile Benji just rolled his eyes confused wanting to get away from there.
Meira was and will always be a delight to meet, since Daphnia met her that same week in The Tower’s kitchen and taste testing her new batch of cookies. They were delicious.
Speaking of food, when Daphnia met Rick she got the same warmth and kindness she remembered from being Bruce. But this time it involved snacks and jokes around his week at The Tower, she was all ears listening to him as they entered the kitchen to find some chicken nuggets.
Cole and Luna, it was more magic and fun spells when she came to see them. The two were casting some spills, when she got caught in one of them being turned into a little mouse by accident. Cole laughed as Luna worried, but they turned her back to normal soon enough.
Ethan was the 3rd sibling she met, and she thanked all the Stars and Stripes that it was a simple meeting. He was watching a movie, being Monsters Inc. when she met him the guy joining The Young Avengers for a movie night.

Somewhere That’s Green & Part of Your World Side by Side
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Oh we’re just friends! I could never be Seymour’s girl. I’ve got a past. I don’t even deserve a sweet, considerate, suddenly successful guy like Seymour.
If only I could make him understand. I just don't see things the way he does. I don't see how a world that makes such wonderful things could be bad.
I know Seymour's the greatest But I'm dating a semi-sadist So I've got a black eye And my arm's in a cast Still, that Seymour's a cutie Well, if not, he's got inner beauty And I dream of a place Where we could be together at last
Look at this stuff Isn't it neat? Wouldn't you think my collection's complete? Wouldn't you think I'm the girl The girl who has everything? Look at this trove Treasures untold How many wonders can one cavern hold? Looking around here you'd think Sure, she's got everything I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty I've got whozits and whatzits galore You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty! But who cares? No big deal I want more
A matchbox of our own A fence of real chain link, A grill out on the patio Disposal in the sink A washer and a dryer and an ironing machine In a tract house that we share Somewhere that's green
I wanna be where the people are I wanna see, wanna see 'em dancin' Walking around on those, what do you call 'em? Oh, feet
He rakes and trims the grass He loves to mow and weed I cook like Betty Crocker And I look like Donna Reed There's plastic on the furniture To keep it neat and clean In the Pine-Sol scented air Somewhere that's green
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far Legs are required for jumping, dancing Strolling along down a, what's that word again? Street Up where they walk, up where they run Up where they stay all day in the sun Wanderin' free, wish I could be Part of that world
Between our frozen dinner And our bedtime, nine-fifteen We snuggle watchin' Lucy On our big, enormous twelve-inch screen
What would I give if I could live out of these waters? What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand? Bet'cha on land they understand Bet they don't reprimand their daughters Bright young women, sick of swimmin' Ready to stand
I'm his December Bride He's Father, he Knows Best Our kids play Howdy Doody As the sun sets in the west A picture out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine
And ready to know what the people know Ask 'em my questions and get some answers What's a fire and why does it, what's the word Burn? When's it my turn? Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?
Far from Skid Row I dream we'll go Somewhere that's green
Out of the sea Wish I could be Part of that world

Can we get facts about MCs family members both alive and dead ? So brothers, cousins, mother and father. What did MCs parents think of their children ? What type of parents were they ? (Sorry if it’s too many questions at once).
I had to sit on this until I released the demo to avoid some spoilers. Sorry for the delay!
Now let’s drop some fun facts:
(Spoilers for the demo below!)
Alberich:
Loves cheeses and wine. He typically prefers savory food
He’s a work-a-holic, so he prefers foods he can eat with his hand at his desk. 
Likes reading trashy love novels in his down time. 
100% a songbird. He paints silly pictures of cats when he’s bored. 
He wears a very soft and elegant smelling floral perfume. It’s the same brand as his mother’s. 
He hates hot climates and rain. The change in air pressure makes his stump ache ):
Sieghardt:
Loves sweets and baked goodies
A very talented cook. 
He’s the kind of person to smuggle injured animals into his room to nurse back to health.
Cold and aloof, but really well respected by the younger Heath Knights. Sieg takes good care of them because they remind him of you. 
Has stage fright. 
Ledea (Mother)
The MC's entire world before she dies. Ledea was worried about bonding with the MC after birth, but when her husband dies, she becomes very protective of them. 
The other boys might have suffered because of that though. 
She was a very attentive and protective mother. She took the MC everywhere she went. 
Became Duchess of Vagnyr after her Father dies in a hunting accident 
Married her long time childhood best friend :) 
Highly artistic and feminine. Alberich takes a lot after her. 
Ledea loves all her children- in her own way. She didn’t(couldn’t) love them equally, however.
Vayne (Father) 
He is dead before the MC is born so there isn’t any strong connection, only a sense of loss for what could have been. 
It’s unknown who was born first between the Twin Princes, but Vayne was a popular successor due to his military record, but people were apprehensive of his more gentle nature. 
Because of his duties as Prince, he was often away from home, but when he was home, he was a very active and present Father for the boys. 
DIY dad that will build you a doll house mansion if you asked nicely with his bare hands. 
He does build an entire birdhouse/flight pen for all the pigeons Sieghardt rescues. Even to this day, those pigeons and their off-spring circle the castle property because of it. 
His children were his life. He would die for them. (And He did.) 
Maeve (Empress) 
gaslights gatekeep girlboss 💅
Regardless of the MCs opinion of her, she does consider them her baby. Ledea can go die in a hole.
What can go wrong when the crazy party aunt becomes your full time guardian?? 
Maeve is very indulgent and will coddle the MC, but she does live by the old ways of tough love. 
She loooooves eating fruits, especially bite-sized ones, like grapes! 
Tans very easily
Eirik 
Tumblr media
His Mother, Duchess Thrya gave birth to a bastard shortly after his father died, so he is very-not-okay. 
He lives a very isolated life in his territory. 
Loves fishing, swimming, sailing and collecting little seashells for his collection. 
He’s got gadgets and gizmos a plenty… 
His crew are ride or die for him so watch out!

FEATURE: Add To Cart!: Young Entrepreneurs of UPIS and Their Businesses
The holidays are right around the corner! Looking for something to add to your wishlist? Or maybe you still don’t know what to give to your friends and family? Check out these entrepreneurs who’s got gadgets and gizmos a plenty! Let's take a closer look at these unique and affordable products from UPIS student-owned businesses.
Solaris Pins by Arianne Pablo
Tumblr media
Have you ever wanted to wear your drawings on your bags? Or maybe you want affordable merchandise from your favorite anime, shows, and k-pop groups? Send in your designs to Solaris Pins to turn them into button pins! 
Solaris Pins is a customized button pin business by Arianne Pablo of Batch 2027. You can send in your personal designs to Arianne and she will turn them into wearable button pins! The designs can be anything under the sun; some of the designs Arianne's clients have sent are pictures of their pets, their favorite album covers, their favorite character, and even their own artworks! As these pins are customizable, this is a perfect gift for anyone!
Tumblr media
Her 1.5 inch glossy pins start at 20 php a piece. Discounts for wholesale or bulk orders are negotiable and are available starting at 20 pieces and above. You can even have the pins individually packed; how perfect for organizations or artists looking to sell their designs as merchandise! 
Her love for collecting pins definitely ignited the passion for starting a button pin business. 
Arianne’s joy from collecting pins turned into something bigger; it was now Arianne who is sharing and sparking joy among her customers!
“I wanted to start a business out of something I enjoyed doing,” she said. “The idea mostly came from my struggle to find merchandise of a certain video game I like, and anything that was available on the market was outside of my budget.” She then started making her own button pins so that she could save money and have no need to buy merchandise online.
The launching of Solaris Pins was made possible with the help of her friends and family, shared Arianne. 
She said that her mother helped her manage the finance of the business while her friends helped her in her creative process. “She [my mother] helped me with the pricing of the products, as well as the calculations of everything down to the production costs and investment. On the creative side, I asked for advice from my friends regarding the aesthetics of the business's brand and the kind of products they would most likely buy.” It was a rocky start for Arianne but she persevered through the support she had.
The name Solaris Pins was also the result of Arianne brainstorming with her friends. It is actually inspired by a tale we might’ve heard from our childhood!
“...Icarus, who flew too close to the sun because of his own ambitions. Although the story is a bit grim, my friend insisted that I should use it as inspiration and 'shoot for the sun,' just as Icarus did,” said Arianne. Thus, Solaris came to be: Sol from the Roman sun god and Ari, Arianne's nickname.
Arianne shared that more sizes, types of button pins, and even her very own designs will be available in the future! Come create with Arianne and follow them on Instagram (@solaris.pins).

What inspires you at the moment? Marla Obnamia from Batch 2029 definitely has some super cute and fluffy inspirations as seen in her business, marli.knots!
marli.knots offers handmade crochet keychains and charms all made from locally sourced materials. Marla shared that the designs she makes are from what currently inspires her! 
Tumblr media
These crochet goodies range from 15 php to 159 php. Her bestsellers would be the Sunflower keychain, Daisy keychain, Rosie Posie bag charm, Lily of the Valley keychain, and her personal favorite, the Sad Hamster keychain! So many flowers! I'm sure you can find a cute handmade trinket to give to your flower-loving loved ones here at marli.knots.
“I was drawn to crochet since it allowed me to create unique items with yarn, hook, and my hands,” said Marla.
Making crochet goods started as a hobby for Marla during the pandemic. Her sister, after seeing Marla's passion for crocheting, encouraged her to also start a business. (Marla's sister, Elle, is also featured in this article!) With her sister's support, she launched marli.knots last year on her birthday, January 21st, 2023! 
“The name came from an inside joke of me and Ate Elle, my older sister, when we were at the mall. She randomly said ‘Marli, no’ when she was telling me to stop, and it continued to ‘Marli, not’ to ‘Marli, knot’.” She shared that it was the perfect name as her nickname is Marli, and her yarn would get tangled up whenever she crochets.
Marla's sister served as a big inspiration for her. The love and support from her family pushed Marla to step out of her comfort zone and start marli.knots!
Get looped in the crochet craze and support marli.knots in their social media platforms and website!

beadbadoobead has an interesting origin story; it actually started from a school requirement! 
Elle and her group mates from Grade 10 started beadbadoobead together as a group project in Practical Arts. It started on March 23, 2023 and ended around May of the same year. Elle then decided to continue the business alone and launched her first collection last December 2023.
“Honestly, it was a big decision for our group to continue the business idea… After the group project, I saved all the money I got to start again from scratch. I didn’t want beadbadoobead go to (sic) waste after seeing its potential.”
After seeing the business’ potential, along with the support from the people around her, it gave her inspiration to start go solo. She also shared that she has always loved arts and crafts.
“I remember one time when my father used to make jokes when I was little, making little trinkets and crafts: ‘Uy, benta natin ‘yan gawa ka marami oh, ang ganda!’” She reminisced. “Little me would just laugh it off but who would tell her she’s doing exactly what the joke meant today? Other than that, I would say I am really a gift-giving person since birth. Making things like these make me happy and seeing people receive and buy them makes me happier. And that’s what beadbadoobead is!”
Elle saw potential and took the chance. Now, look at how much beadbadoobead has grown!

Wishlist: Starting a business. Where do you start?
Starting a business is hard, so how did they do it? It’s inspiring to see young students take a huge leap, start a business, and continue to operate alongside prioritizing their studies and other extracurricular activities! 
Tumblr media
“Being a student, I've found that the most difficult part of owning a small business is to balance my school, work, and personal life with how busy it gets. I learned to manage my time by adhering to a schedule and setting priorities for myself.” 
Arianne acknowledges the added weight of being a small business owner as a student but is here to give a lot of advice for students who are interested in starting their own business: it all starts with planning. It might be stressful but is crucial to set the pacing of your workflow, she said. Organization is also important especially with financial matters. “Don't be shy and advertise your products, try to make pubmats if you can! (Dapat makapal mukha, hehehe!)” she shared; confidence is often overlooked when talking about business. Last but not least, Arianne reminds us that it's okay to take breaks and to always prioritize your health and well-being. 
Tumblr media
“As a student who owns a business, it has taught me how to manage time and have discipline. It has helped me set boundaries and practiced (sic) planning ahead. It has helped me keep up a good mindset because even small achievements motivate me,” Marla shared.
Having your own business will definitely teach you a lot of things! Marla's advice for you aspiring student-entrepreneurs is to start with something you're passionate about. She also reminds us to find the lesson in everything, “Take small steps and learn as you go. Each experience will teach you something valuable”. Marla's last reminder for us is to stay true to yourself and to enjoy!
Tumblr media
Mati shared that by running charms miscellanea, she realized how much work needs to be put in the business to provide good quality service to her customers. “I also learned how truly important it is to enjoy your craft in order to continuously create new and improved products!”
Mati also shares that income is key to a business, but what's important is you enjoy the products you make! 
“It is more important, in my eyes, to keep in mind that the more fun you have when creating your products, the more thought you will put into them. The care with which you make your products is definitely evident, so always make sure to enjoy what you are doing! It feels so much more accomplishing when you see somebody wear and use the things you'd created with such care, rather than just when you remember how much money you made upon selling them,” she shared.
Tumblr media
As a student-entrepreneur, Elle shared that she learned the importance of balancing different parts of her life. beadbadoobead helped her be more approachable and it enhanced her communication skills! “This business taught me how to deal with problems, failures, and how to make use of my success to succeed even more. It also gives me self-value as I’m doing this all alone. It’s such an eye-opener that a lot of people love my crafts and their suggestions is (sic) never a negative thing to take, instead it is something the business would benefit from and is something my customers would like to see me do.”
They say that good things take time. Elle shares that aside from love and passion, you also need patience to be a successful student-entrepreneur.
“Start with something you love, continue doing it with love and patience, and people will love what you do.”
It's inspiring to see these entrepreneurs start young and create their own business whilst being a student! Daunting it may be, we can see that these entrepreneurs enjoy what they do, we see the effort and love they give for to their products and customers, and we see the patience each one of them has for their business; it truly is admirable!
My wishlist surely did get longer! Did you see anything you liked? Well, what are you waiting for? Visit and follow these UPIS student-owned small businesses!

Sonadow Scenario #70
{ Requested by @crown172 }
Shadow knew why his comrades wanted to hang out at his place. His sleek, modern bachelor pad had the latest gadgets and gizmos, and before he could turn the gang away at the front door, they were already shoving past him, scrambling over one another. Normally he would have not-so-kindly asked them to beat it.
But they brought free food. So.
His colleagues spent the rest of the night gaming on the latest console as he typed up some reports at his desk. He was grateful that whenever things got too rowdy, Rouge threatened them with the heel of her boot.
Sometimes she even followed through.
He hated to admit it, but he actually liked the white noise of having company. The sounds of laughter, of lively conversation... It was a nice change of pace from the lonely late nights of working.
But today something felt... off. It was a voice—or rather, the lack thereof—that put him on edge. He uncontrollably bounced his knee, finding it difficult to concentrate.
He peered toward the living room where his friends were, eyes narrowing at the empty seat.
He walked up to them. "Where's Sonic?"
"Blue?" Rouge pondered. "He left early. Something about wanting to clear his head."
"Is that so?" When Shadow took a closer look at the seat, he found a worn out novel with a cracked spine and plenty of earmarked pages.
He went to pick it up, not recognizing it. "Does this belong to anyone?" When he received a bunch of head shakes, his brow furrowed as he realized who the owner was. "Strange," he mulled to himself. "It's not like him to leave one of his books behind..."
He glanced at his watch. I should return it before it gets too late, he thought. As he slipped on a jacket, he gave his comrades a stern reminder that Rouge was in charge before he headed out the door, the cool air greeting the face of a hedgehog on a mission.
~
If Sonic wanted to clear his head, there was only one place he would be.
Shadow made his way to a clearing in the forest. There stood the tallest oak tree in the land with branches that kissed the stars, with leaves that waltzed in the evening breeze. At the base of the tree sat the blue hedgehog, leaning against the sturdy trunk with hands folded behind his head.
Sonic's ears twitched before he opened his eyes, which were drowsy before they bulged in surprise. "Shadow? What are you doing here?"
The agent produced the book from his quills. "You left this."
"Oh." Sonic rose to receive it solemnly. "Sorry. I've been so preoccupied."
"Is that why you've been coming over less?"
Sonic smirked. "What's the matter? Have you missed me~?"
"Don't be ridiculous," Shadow retorted, turning away to mask his tint. "It's just... the atmosphere is different. And I can't focus."
It was Sonic's turn to flush. "I see..."
Shadow cleared his throat. "So. You're a Tales of the Round Table fan?"
Sonic clutched the book close to his heart, averting his gaze. "Something like that."
Shadow idly kicked a twig at his feet. "Maybe the next time you come over, you could... tell me about it."
Sonic stiffened. "Ah. Well... I—"
Shadow took a hint with a scoff, turning away. "Forget it. I knew I shouldn't have—"
"Wait, Lance—I mean—!" Even before Sonic uttered the words, he knew he messed up, slapping his hand over his mouth in embarrassment.
Shadow regarded him with a wary expression. "Lance?" he echoed. He took note of how deep the hero blushed, and suddenly it all made sense.
Shadow's heart sank. "You like him."
"No!" Sonic blurted. Then his ears folded back. "I mean, kinda. But that's not—"
"That's why you've been acting so strange since you returned from that world," Shadow surmised. He shot blood-red daggers at the book, sneering, "And those stories remind you of your beau."
Sonic fumed. "He's not my—"
"No more games, hedgehog!" Shadow spat. "First you insist on spending time together, being a thorn in my side, then you leave only to come back with eyes for another." Laughing bitterly, he dragged a hand over his face as if washing away his rose-colored glasses. "I'm such an idiot. To think I was actually starting to..." He trailed.
Sonic eyed him cautiously. "Starting to what?"
Shadow took a few seconds to decide whether or not to confess. Finally he gave a sharp huff through his nostrils, eyes darkening, voice barely audible. "To like you."
Sonic's pupils constricted, words trapped in his throat.
But Shadow didn't care. "That dumb look on your face is only proof that I'm right."
Sonic tapped his foot furiously. "Are you done? Because you couldn't be more wrong!"
Shadow was taken aback by the outburst. But he shut up to let the hero explain himself.
Sonic sighed, clutching his heart. "The truth is..." His fingers brushed the faded cover of the novel. "I thought I liked Lance, which was why I stopped coming over. It wasn't fair to lead you on. I... was confused."
Shadow picked up on the keyword. "Was?"
Sonic nodded. "Even though Lance is strong, smart, stubborn with a sensitive side, I've come to realize something."
He tucked the book away before walking closer to the lifeform, gazing at him with shining emeralds. "I liked all those things about him because... he reminded me of you."
Shadow's breath hitched. God, he wanted—needed—so badly for that to be true.
But—
He scowled, "I have a hard time believing you. What if I remind you of him? How do I know you're not just using me?"
"I would never lie to you, Shadow," Sonic responded, his tone as genuine as his heart. He then raised his hand as a pledge. "Hedgehog's honor."
Shadow grunted. That grin was almost irresistible.
Almost.
Sonic knew he was on the verge of convincing him. So he leaned close, his lips a breath away from the agent's. "May I prove it to you?"
Shadow swallowed. It took every ounce of self-control to not close the gap right then and there.
Instead he replied, "No."
The hero couldn't hide the pain in his eyes as he drew away, but Shadow immediately pulled him close again, slipping a hand around his slim waist.
Sonic reddened. "Sh-Shadow?"
"I'm giving you my proof first."
Shadow then molded his lips with the hero's, muffling Sonic's yelp of surprise. Their peppered kisses quickly turned into open-mouthed ones, tasting each other at long last.
It hit like ecstasy.
As time slowed down and their hearts picked up the pace, Shadow clutched him closer, taking in all of Sonic. His grassy scent, his sweet taste, his breathless sighs. He never thought he would get the chance to do so, especially after the hero disappeared without a trace.
Between kisses, Shadow cupped the other's cheek as if to confirm he was real, murmuring against soft peach lips, "I missed you."
Sonic's eyes shimmered in the moonlight as he ran his fingers through the lifeform's quills, a sure sign he would never let go.

The Little Leeches Act One: Part of That World
Floyd swam back to his cove, upset at his father's harsh words. Sure, he was reckless but who wasn't in their life? Floyd just loves learning about everything, something to help him understand what he wants in his life. So this leads him to collect human items he barely knows, and now it was once again dragged to the bottom by his father.
Now he was playing with his music box, and though it moved beautifully, the music was unfortunately muffled by the ocean around him, and he wished he could hear the melody of the music box, so he can dance to them.
It gave him some time to think about his collection. He is so proud of his collection of human items, and learning through Shore or Riddle. All because he went to see the world above for the first time and found his first item, a ballerina toy, he remembered how it danced around with beautiful music. He supposes that was also the time Floyd got interested in music and dance as well. Everything that has happened to him was because of the human world. He wouldn't have it any other way.
"Floyd?" Called out Jade, entering the cave, "Are you in here?" He looks around and swims over to him, "I figured you'd be."
"...am I a danger to you?" Floyd asked, "The last thing I want is to hurt you because of me."
Jade, shocked, answered, "Of course not. If anything," he takes a nearby dinglehopper and starts to brush his hair, "you make our lives so much more exciting. Remember the time you found mom? All by yourself?"
"..I do," Floyd answered, "It was funny to that stupid gal's face when she saw her."
"Yeah, you are more helpful than harmful."
Unaware of them, Azul entered after watching Jade enter. What he didn't expect was to see the path of human items. Sure, he knew about Floyd's hobby, but he didn't expect a whole collection of it. Oh, if his mother knew... Azul didn't say anything and watched the twins and their conversation, not sure how to make his presence known.
"That was the greatest day of my life," Jade grinned, and looks up at the cave, looking at the various stuff that Floyd has collected over the years. "And look around, Floyd, you did all this."
"Why did Papa say humans are bad?" Floyd questioned, "How could a place that has such wonderful things...could be so bad?"
Jade looks over at Floyd and smiles. 'Well, Floyd.."
🐚
Look at this stuff Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think your collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think you're the boy?
The boy who has everything?
🐚
Floyd rolls his eyes and looks down, "Maybe?"
Jade lifts Floyd's head, making him look at the most amazing stuff that he collected.
🐚
Look at this trove
Treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you think
Sure, he's got everything
🐚
Floyd laughs and swims over to some of his collected items, a few small stuff, admiring some small stuff he collected as a young eel.
🐚
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs?
I've got twenty!
🐚
Floyd puts the dinglehopper with some similar items, some that are quite similar. "It is a lot," Azul thought. Floyd looks at the music box once again, finally concluding what he wanted, after all those years collecting.
🐚
But who cares?
No big deal
I want more
🐚
He grabbed the music box, showing Jade the two people dancing with each other as music played.
🐚
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walking around on those - what do you call 'em?
Oh - feet!
🐚
Azul could only cover his mouth to prevent a large gasp at Floyd's confession. The mention of the human world already frightened him. But the thought of Floyd wanting to go to the human world scared him, and he didn't understand it either. Sure, Floyd collected human stuff, it wasn't something that Azul could stop. However, the thought of Floyd being among humans was an awkward thing to imagine.
🐚
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a - what's that word again?
Street
🐚
Floyd swims up, looking up at the ocean shore, the light reminding him of the sun above. He always remembered the beaches, and all the stuff he collected from them, those were precious memories.
🐚
Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free - wish I could be
Part of that world
🐚
Floyd sinks to the sand, joined by Jade, both now relaxing. But Floyd has a moment of clarity.
🐚
What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
🐚
Floyd sighs contently, just looking at the light. But the thought of what he loved can cause such a rift between him and his father, one that can properly never be repaired. Why should he have to stop what he loved? Just for someone to understand.
Jade grabs his brother's hand, startling Floyd from his deep thoughts, seemingly coming to an understanding of what those thoughts were.
🐚
Bet'cha on land they understand
That they cherish their sons and daughters
Men and women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand!
🐚
Azul watched as Floyd was now surrounded by many human books, some full of human stories that no one could understand. It was causing Jade to laugh at how Floyd was a mess underneath the pile.
🐚
And ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it - what's the word?
Burn?
🐚
Azul couldn't believe what was happening. It was filling with fear and he was admittedly astonished at how despite Azul's warnings, Floyd still treated the human world like it was a wonder not a horror. It was also horrifying, at the thought of his friend getting hurt by those menaces above.
🐚
When’s it our turn?
Wouldn’t we love, love to explore that shore up above?
🐚
They looked up at a beautiful gleam of light that gave their scales a glow and looked at each other. Floyd saw the light above him and felt his heart ache more, as he knew his wish would be impossible.
🐚
Out of the sea
Wish I could be
Part of that world...
🐚
Jade swam over to Floyd, carefully holding his hand. "You must really be curious about it."
"Yeah," Floyd sighed, "If it wasn't for Goldfishie or this stuff, I would've never discovered the land above, and everything about it." He looks back at Jade, "Is it selfish?"
"No, to me, you just need some more adventure and I can understand that. If there was a way up there, I would join you."
"Really!?" Floyd gasps with a grin.
"No! No no no!" Called Azul, emerging from his hiding place, almost collapsing as he did. "I can't believe you two! Thinking of this stuff! Joining humans in their murderous endeavors!"
"How long have you been here?" Jade questioned.
"Long enough for me to say, going up there is a bad, horrible and dangerous idea!"
"Azul, we get it," Floyd groaned, "your mom told us some stupid horror stories about humans. We know."
"This isn't about my mother's horror stories," Azul hissed, "This is completely different. The fact that you want to live up there is...is horrendous. And I don't care if I'm harsh."
"You are being very harsh," Jade mumbled, "Look, Azul. We know about the dangers and sure, Floyd is reckless but he isn't stupid."
"That's right," Floyd huffs, "but you keep focusing on the bad and never the good. Like all of this stuff," Floyd mentions in his collection, "Some of the stuff that we didn't even know existed. And humans have so many interesting stories, legends, and myths that make me want to know more."
"Knowing more is the problem." Azul spoke, "Don't you remember that old story of the mermaid princess? She fell in love with a human, but that human left her to become seafoam after he married someone else! It's a cautionary tale for a reason, Floyd. Merfolk and humans do not mix and they will do anything to harm us if they ever see us."
"And what about us harming them? Cursing humans for just wanting to know more about us?" Floyd snarled, "We hurt them too."
"It is for our protection." Azul defended, "Humans taint our waters, don't you understand, Floyd?"
"Azul, we both do not understand," Jade intervened, "Humans have never sank into our waters, so i am positive they don't even know we exist. We know how to keep our distance most of the time, and Floyd is just curious, and in love."
"That's another problem," Azul sighs in defeat, "Floyd, consider this warning as a friend, but I worry about what could happen when you are up there, and I forever will. Just please, please reconsider it."
Before Floyd could answer, sparks of lights appeared above them, immediately grabbing Floyd's attention. He rushed out to see what it was and the shadow of a boat with sparks of color above them.
"What is that?" Jade questioned, looking up, "it's so bright.."
"Trouble, that's what," Azul groaned, "Floyd, I highly advise we- don't you listen to anything!?"
Floyd was already swimming quickly to above the waters, followed by Jade, and a very reluctant Azul.

This is not at all a new take,but I was listening to Reflection (Mulan) and Part of your world (Little mermaid)
They are so trans
I need to talk to someone about this
https://youtu.be/1_BtlAw4trg
Verse: MULAN]
Look at me, I will never pass for a perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
Can it be I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see that if I were truly to be myself
I would break my family's heart
[Chorus: MULAN]
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight back at me?
Why is my reflection someone I don't know?
Somehow, I cannot hide
Who I am, though I've tried
When will my reflection show who I am inside?
When will my reflection show who I am inside
https://youtu.be/t6Ol7VsZGk4
[ARIEL]
Look at this stuff, isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?
Wouldn't you think I'm the girl, the girl who has everything?
Look at this trove, treasures untold
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you think
"Sure, she's got everything"
I've got gadgets and gizmos a-plenty
I've got whozits and whatzits galore
You want thingamabobs? I've got twenty!
But who cares? No big deal, I want more
I wanna be where the people are
I wanna see, wanna see them dancin'
Walking around on those - what do you call 'em? Oh - feet!
Flippin' your fins, you don't get too far
Legs are required for jumping, dancing
Strolling along down a - what's that word again? Street
Up where they walk, up where they run
Up where they stay all day in the sun
Wanderin' free - wish I could be
Part of that world
What would I give if I could live out of these waters?
What would I pay to spend a day warm on the sand?
Bet'cha on land they understand
Bet they don't reprimand their daughters
Bright young women sick of swimmin'
Ready to stand
I'm ready to know what the people know
Ask 'em my questions and get some answers
What's a fire and why does it - what's the word? Burn?
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love, love to explore that shore up above?
Out of the sea, wish I could be part of that world

Octavia tends to let the other person lead because even in bed she always wants to learn, with that said, she would try anything if it was new and exciting.
Octavia does not like when things are bland and repetitive, conversely, things that are new and exciting are a turn on
3. Octavia can take a while to actually reach her climax as her mind will focus on trying to remember exact details (or worse, sometimes she will actively take notes during if she's able.)
4. Her ears are incredibly sensitve
5.The easiest way to seduce Octavia is an academic conversation where you are both listening and sharing. She wants to know all about your special interests and areas of expertise and also feel that you are interested in hers. She is far too used to people just pretending to be polite, or worse have a chance at her.
6.Octavia believes it is healthy and conducive to a good night's sleep to always pleasure herself before bed. 7.Her favorite position is using psionics to levitate and going from there. 8. When Octavia's magic began to manifest and her people learned how powerful she actually was, she had a lot of suitors, but the one who stuck out was a cocky female raider around her own age who was visiting from another Creche. They were paired up for an information gathering excursion and ended up sharing a bedroll. Although she died years ago in a raid, Octavia still cherishes her memory and loves her. 9. Octavia, true to her first experience, prefers sex on the road as it stays vivid and exciting. 10. There isn't really such a thing as 'caught' living in a Creche. Your people are aware it happens and sort of don't take a second look. This makes Istik somewhat uncomfortable. 11. Loud, but not in the way you would think. She will sometimes verbally review her notes during new and exciting experiences. 12. Octavia has gadgets and gizmos a plenty. She's got whozzits and whatzzits galore. You want thingabobs? She's got 20. 13. It depends greatly on what is most interesting, she is very happy to teach as well as learn, however. 14. Not as often as she would like. Octavia's inquisitive nature can be very off putting and so casual encounters are hard to come by. When she's with a partner, fairly regularly though. 15. Octavia's biggest sexual desire currently (it changes) is to be allowed to watch Halsin and Sentry have sex. She is unfamiliar with Tiefling mating and also the shapes and sizes of various creature cocks. Halsin probably wouldn't mind, but Sentry might need some time to come around to the idea. Also she realizes Gale might not be too happy with the idea either. 16. Field researcher. Octavia doesn't even need to be the one actually having sex, it's just another kind of study for her, just one that can be arousing. The joy of discovery is what truly gets her off, not necessarily being touched. 17. Octavia's bra size is probably around a 36 C 18. She will tend to re-read her latest sex based research notes. 19. Octavia is pansexual 20. Believe it or not, Octavia likes to watch. 21. She doesn't consider it weird, but the most interesting was astral sex with Gale. 22. Octavia likes to be kissed on the wrist or palm because it feels most intimate to her since she uses her hands to cast. 23. Octavia's worst sex experience is (luckily) not as traumatic as my other characters. She was once flirted with by a human in one of the towns she stayed in. They had a nice talk, they both consented, they retired to his bedroom...and had sex in a single position at a moderate pace on the mattress of the bed the whole time and cuddled in silence after with no discussion. 24. When Octavia tests new toys, she always experiences multiple orgasms. It is the highlight of the sex and mating aspect of her research. 25. Probably a normal amount, it's only one part of her vast research. 26. Octavia is very comfortable and happy with her body. She is used to being considered beautiful or attractive, but she also understands her people have a certain reputation so she doesn't take people finding her frightening or ugly to heart. 27. Sex with Octavia can last hours once she gets a hypothesis or a research question going. 28. Octavia prefers sex to be as natural as possible, laughter can happen. 29. Octavia may not be quite the artist Sentry is, but she is very good at drawing detailed genitalia.

[Ariel and Summer]
"It's just a little further, I promise."
Which was something Ariel had said at least four times now, as she lead Summer through the Tunnels, knowing these ones like the back of her hand. They're obviously unused, having been left abandoned for a while. It was perfect. Reaching a door, clearly made of random pieces Ariel had find, she pushed it aside and allowed Summer in.
Inside was, well, cluttered to say the least. In the dimly lit part of this closed off sewer tunnel, Ariel had covered every nook and cranny she could with all sorts. Random broken items, from glasses, to cups, to random toys that sometimes showed up. Corks, and screws, and pebbles, and well, anything and everything. If it existed, Ariel probably had it somewhere in her collection. Seashells she found were glued to the brick, or hung from string like stars in the skies - though how she even got up there to hang them was a question within itself. In the ceiling was a single grate, allowing beams of sunlight to wash in - the angle was perfect, allowing Ariel to lay on a bunch of pillows she had found so she could watch the sky without being disturbed,
"It's my collection," Ariel smiles, "I've got gadgets and gizmo's a plenty, I've got who's-its and whats-it galore," She says her words with a slight tune, "Oh, you want thing-a-ma-bobs Summer? I got at least twenty!"
It's clear this collection of human things had been going on for a while, and had no signs of stopping. Ariel clearly admired it, grinning,
"You can uhm, take some stuff, if you want?" Ariel offers, "I do love my collection, but I don't mind sharing..."
She moves to that little patch of the sun, sitting herself down, enjoying the warmth. Her smile faded a little,
"You're not going to tell anyone, will you Summer?" Ariel wants to double check, "I don't think dad will be impressed with my collection."
Oh, if only she knew.

"Ari are we 'ike close yet?" Summer complained maybe for the third or fourth times, Summer had lost count a bit ago, feeling like see been walking through the tunnels with them for days at this point now. It been more about an hour but Summer's attention span could burn quick. And it was reaching that point since her cousin had told her about wanting to show her something
"It's just a little further, I promise."
Summer slightly pouted her lip Ariel had told her that for the fourth time now. Better than Pops 'We'll get there when we get there' she guessed but still. Summer looked around the tunnels she didn't travel them as much as her cousin did so to her it sort of looked all the same like an unending maze. Least till they finally reached something new! "Fuckin' finally!" Summer uttered under her breath as she jogged a little to catch up to Ariel's side now. As they made their way through the make shift door. Summer stepping in and letting eyes look around at everything they found to land on, she wasn't all that sure to start? A low wishlet given as she minded her step not wanting to crush anything below her feet by mistake. The light pouring in through the grate above made it so she could at least slightly make out a few stand outs in the mass.
Summer strayed over to a random pile of well to her, just looked like a bunch of random junk at best. There were broken glass shards, a cup. What she assumed was a cork screw? She had seen one at home before. It was pretty clear that Airel had been working on this for a while, but Summer didn't quite clock into why?
"It's my collection,"
"Collection?" Summer repeats back questioning this as a collection. But considering stuff she collected, it wasn't too different it just wasn't as on theme as Summers' collection of ticket stubs from games or trading cards of players. "Oh so it's jus' you 'ike human collection?" Having finally connected the dots. As she turned to find Ariel smiling brightly over this
"I've got gadgets and gizmo's a plenty, I've got who's-its and whats-it galore,"
Summer tilts her head and pursed her lips "why dose 'hat sound familiar?"
"Oh, you want thing-a-ma-bobs Summer? I got at least twenty!"
Summer was not focused at all on the objects being presented to her she could just a bout make out the music from how Ariel was talking right now. It was like some old faint pleasant memory but damn for the life of her she just could not. It was really bugging her now closing her eyes tightly a moment damn why did this all seem so familiar not quite daja vu? She could just about imagine a red headed girl she thinks dancing? Thoughts pulled away when his cousin goes to speak up again.
"You can uhm, take some stuff, if you want?"
"Uh 'ake somethin'?" She was more trying to gather her baring still trying to scratch that lingering thought in her head on why they sing song way Ariel was speaking was so familiar?
"I do love my collection, but I don't mind sharing..."
Summer just blows air out her mouth in a sort of raspberry like laugh, brushing the idea off as she gave a wave of her hand even "nah collection's are special Ari. OH if anythin' I can help ya wit' it! if ya 'ike I mean. I can' get a hold of things ya might not see where ya got most of this stuff after all." Following Ariel over as they made their way to the pile of pillows where the light from the grate was pouring over easily warming up the space. Summer joining her when she gets an idea "oh 'ike this!" she fished around he pockets a pulls out a mini hockey stick holding it over to her cousin "watch" see took the end off to reveal it was a pen smiling before she capped it and handed it over. Pushing it into their hand before she sat down beside them looking up at the grate to see the sun pout in around the metal. "Look real nice down here though." Summer observed as she looked around more at the many piles.
"You're not going to tell anyone, will you Summer?"
"uh?" Summer answered with not because she didn't understand but more because she felt it was just obvious that of course she wouldn't tell anyone about this place. "Course I wouldn' tell anyone." she still assures them despite that fact. "No one gonna get a word outta me no need ta worry 'bout that." She doubles down just in case it was needed to be said and made that much more clear.
"but why are ya worried about someone findin' out?"
"I don't think dad will be impressed with my collection."
"oh." was all Summer could think to say about that, after all everyone knew how her uncle Donnie could be. Always over prepared, a massive worry wort even more so when it came to her cousin. If he found out she been sneaking out topside, even if she was staying hidden and careful? Well yeah didn't take much to piece that all together from there. Neither of them seemed to know just how far off the mark they were when it came to the purple banded turtle of the group. " 'm sure he wouldn' be that upset with ya Ari? I mean he gotta somewhat understand after all 'ight?" She tries to reason a bit "but 'ike I said no one gonna get a word from me! I mean it they can torture me and nothin' about this place will be said! 'd sooner sell out my dad's on how gross and sappy they are at home." She soon pulls down a sleeve so to expose her forearm in case they need more to know this was safe with her "I mean it I'll make a blood oath or ya can burn my arm so ya know I won't spill. Dad always says a promise is important after ta all!" he might not have meant her to be this over the top about it thought. At least the sentiment should be coming across.
"Though I still say it's a cool collection ya got goin' I bet even Uncle Donnie would be a bit impressed how much ya gathered up on ya own, I mean sure he might get all panic 'ike he dose." Trying to copy her uncle now "you could have been seen by one of thise barbarians, by one of those humans!." Waging a finger at her cousin as she mocked scolded her only to laugh her self. When a thought hit her.
"Oh the little mermaid! 'Hats what ya reminded me of...." She trails off a second "wait is that why they call you that?" As is the big non mystery had finally be sloved.
