Isa is the one with a nightmare, as a treat :)

Ya know, obviously Siffrin (whose name auto correct keeps changing to suffering, which is pretty fitting lol) went through hell and back with the loops. All the angsty art and fics around that I totally get and love to see, however I like to imagine the toll their whole journey took on everyone…

It’s brought up in the game how the King’s power over Vuagarde had a huge impact on Bonnie with their sister + with Mirabelle having the weight of saving a country on her shoulders, but I can’t recall if anything was brought up with Isa and Odile? (Oh nooOOoOo, how awful I can’t remember! Guess I’ll just have to rewatch a let’s play of the game again! What a shame… /j) So yeah :3 Nightmares for everyone! Though Sif definitely has gotten quite a lot more baggage from their journey (which I do intend to make art of eventually..)

Okay but imagine Eddie having a secret talent for card tricks like this if he ever did this to me imma jump his bones on the spot 😔✋

Eddie: *shows card trick* impressed?

Still Eddie: …. Wait why are you looking at me like that? 😳

(Eddie screaming like a banshee in mere seconds after tackling him)

GOD HE WOULD, he so would oh my god, he’s such a nerd i hate him

————

he would be so confused when you’re immediately all over him, pawing at him and tugging at the jawstring of his sweats, pulling his soft dick out as you mouth at his neck.

“woah, princess. what’s your deal, huh?” you lean back to look at him as you languidly stroke his cock, nuzzling against his hand when he reaches up to push your hair back. you frown, because it’s stupid and you can’t believe fucking card tricks sent you into a goddamn heat.

“the… the cards.” you mumble.

eddie raises an eyebrow, “the cards?” and you groan, dropping your head to softly thump against his shoulder, “please don’t make me admit it, eds.” you grumble into his shirt.

you swipe your thumb over his tip, his cock now alert and slowly filling out with excitement from your touch, and eddie hisses, hips bucking up against your hand. he breathlessly chuckles, “i’m a little confused, babe.”

you roll your eyes, pulling back to look at him again, “the card tricks were hot, eddie.”

and eddie almost laughs, he almost does, but then your squeezing his cock and fuck— the cards go falling to the ground in a white flurry, scattering all across the living room floor just like eddie’s fucking brain.

and sure eddie might be annoyed that he has to pick up all those cards, and he’s gonna be even more pissed off when he counts the cards and realizes he’s lost a few of them to the void that is the space under his couch— but shit, he can’t seem to find a reason to care because now you’re sinking down to your knees— and jesus christ, eddie’s gonna learn more card tricks after this.

+‧₊˚ 🎀 KING OF SWORDS, 5 OF SWORDS, KNIGHT OF SWORDS REVERSED:

⁃ your significant other has taken their role as your protector very seriously. they notice that you struggle with defending or standing up for yourself, so they’ve made it their responsibility to do that for you. in their eagerness to protect you, they often act impulsively, ready to confront any challenges head-on if necessary.

⁃ there’s a possessive energy about them, almost as if you’re their favorite person and they don’t like the idea of sharing you. while this possessiveness comes from a place of love, it can sometimes be overwhelming. it’s important for both of you to work on your communication.

-it almost seems like, whoever your s/o is, they are in a rush. in a rush to make things right, to make things work, to show you the world, they don’t notice how abundant it is in your eyes, they have so much love they don’t know what to do with it. but it feels like, they’re on a quest to make things right, it feels like they’ve done a lot of bad things in the past, they’re in a rush to have a good life with you, because their past is a burden they’re trying to get rid of, with the 10 of wands reversed. it’s almost like, with you, it’ll all fade away, almost as if you ground them, like a healing presence. there are no ill intentions with this at all, they’re just overwhelmed, in the end, all they want is to have a happy, stable future with you, they have never experienced love like this.

🎵 ˈ∗✧ SONG CHANELLED:

𓂃 𓈒 ࣪ ˖ LABIOS ROTOS BY ZOE (the lyrics are in spanish, so i will translate it)

“give me those broken lips”

“i want to kiss them, i want to heal them”

“i will take care of them, with all my love”

“love is strange”

“with your gaze, your tender voice”

-they feel like you’re everything that’s right in this world; you’re so sweet, so delicate, and it would be a shame to let you go. this is why they’re in such a rush—they want to have you before anyone else does. they don’t really experience sweet things in life, so you can believe they’ll do whatever it takes to keep you by their side, by fair means or for worse. they don’t care.

໒꒱ ‧₊˚ 🎀 DEATH, QUEEN OF CUPS, ACE OF PENTACLES REVERSED:

⁃with these cards, i sense that the collective’s s/o wants to put an end to conflict and leave past mistakes behind, seeking a fresh start. the death card signifies a transformation, a desire to move beyond old patterns. the queen of cups represents the collective as their safe space, the emotional anchor they always return to. this time, the ace of pentacles reversed suggests a more cautious, patient approach, allowing love to develop gently and naturally. they are ready for this change, all you need to do is ask. it feels like past conflicts involved a lot of defensiveness and hasty decisions, but now there’s an opportunity for a more thoughtful and nurturing beginning.

-with the three of pentacles and the empress reversed, it’s clear that your s/o is committed to putting in the work to make things right. expect creative dates, secret spots, and thoughtful plans. they’re eager to show you all the things they’ve planned and are genuinely excited about it. it’s evident they deeply regret whatever happened in the past.

with the chariot, there’s a sense that they’ll be less insistent on their demands, allowing things to flow more peacefully. they recognize that both of you are human, prone to mistakes. this marks a release of titles and expectations, leading to a love that will blossom beautifully because you’re allowing it to. you both care and love each other that much, and it shows in the effort and creativity being invested into your relationship.

🎵 ˈ∗✧ SONG CHANELLED:

𓂃 𓈒 ࣪ ˖ CRY BY CIGARETTES AFTER SEX

“i’ll only make you cry”

“wish i was good”

-even though they are willing to do so much for your relationship, they feel as if they aren’t good for your regardless, and it guts them. knowing you can have someone better than them, but still, they want it to be you. (self sabotage)

໒꒱ ‧₊˚ 🎀 8 OF WANDS, THE HANGED MAN REVERSED, 4 OF WANDS:

- your love blossomed quickly, perhaps even love at first sight. there were some obstacles along the way, but with the hanged man reversed, it seems you overcame them just as swiftly. you fit together perfectly, like pieces of a puzzle, always together :) it feels like a friends-to-lovers story; you understand each other so well. not only are you lovers, but also best friends. it’s such a cute connection. all your hard work has paid off, as indicated by the 4 of wands. you both have a bright and beautiful future ahead.

- i’m envisioning you two running through an empty castle together, or perhaps sneaking out for a late-night snack. it’s clear you have a “partners in crime” dynamic; you do everything together and share the same sense of humor. your bond is so close that you often finish each other’s sentences and even say the same words simultaneously. it’s silly and cute at the same time, though at the same time, sometimes it might feel like you guys are more friends , but this wont be permanent, they will loosen up, they are just not good at being vulnerable on the romantic aspect.

- even though you both enjoy fooling around, there’s a mature side to your relationship as well. whenever there’s an issue, you both instantly switch to serious mode to resolve it quickly, allowing you to return to your fun-loving selves. their love language seems to be quality time and acts of service; they enjoy brushing your hair and cuddling with you at night.

- i am also sensing that, though you are attached at the hip, the both of you are independent enough to fend for yourself, though you don’t need to since you have the other. they just want you to know that, they’ve always got you.

🎵 ˈ∗✧ SONG CHANELLED:

𓂃 𓈒 ࣪ ˖ TRULY BY CIGARETTES AFTER SEX

“know that you really don’t need to be in love to make love to me”

“and your lips are red”

“wearing white or black”

“all leading up to when we met truly”

-they can be somewhat immature; whenever someone teases them about you, they blush and become defensive because they’re deeply attracted to you. they always notice the small changes you make, whether it’s your hair, makeup, or anything else. they have some difficulty with vulnerability, but as you spend more time together, this will fade. they will gradually open up to you

cw - subtle smut

He'd found the pack of cards in his father's study. The drawer was usually kept locked. But Kreacher had been tasked with reorganising some papers and had left it open. It had taken only a moment for Sirius to slip inside the room, to consider quickly what to take, and to swipe the small box. It was light. Easy to conceal. The ornate and gilt lettering, embossed into the leather, had him intrigued.

The Ashmedain Deck.

He'd never heard of it. Although he was hardly surprised. Grimmauld Place was full of dark magical artefacts that his parents took little care to conceal.

So these cards must be different...dangerous...his father's secret...

Safe in his room, with a chair propped under the door handle for good measure, Sirius sat cross-legged on the floor and read the back of the box:

An enchanted deck that will reveal,

Dark desires best concealed.

Beware to those who do not know,

The fantasies the cards will show.

Sirius' curiosity momentarily wavered. Perhaps this wasn't such a good idea? But even as the thought had crossed his mind he had opened the box, tipped the cards into his hands, and had begun to shuffle.

There were no further instructions. Sirius acted on instinct. He fanned the cards out on the floor before him, the backs of the cards facing upwards. He closed his eyes and cleared his mind as though using them for divination. After a moment, Sirius moved his hand, hovering over the cards, waiting for the sensation to come. He paused when it felt right. He opened his eyes, reached down and flipped over the card.

Sirius felt an initial thrill of disappointment. The front of the card was blank. But as he inspected closer he noticed a shimmer ripple across the card. An image had begun to form, out of focus and unclear. Sirius wasn't certain, but it looked like the curve of someone's calf. The card's magic seemed to fix. The image froze.

Sirius growled in frustration and flipped another card.

This time the image was clearer; two legs intertwined. A sense of unease began to creep through him. But there was temptation, too...

Another card. More legs. Draped across a body. A body he recognised as his...

Sirius hesitated, his heart racing, his fingers pricking as he considered whether to continue...

... But he needed to see...

... Just one card more...

He swallowed hard and flipped another card.

This card revealed a torso, lean and scarred and naked. Sirius knew the torso well. He had seen it many times. But not like this...

... But he had wondered... and he had noticed... but he still wasn't sure what it meant...

The cards seemed to know.

He flipped another. The image rippled. Collar bones and shoulders. The back of his head, a mess of dark hair, tumbling across the skin of someone else...

He flipped another. A jaw. Lips parted in exaltation. A mouth flecked with scars.

Just one more card, a voice inside him seemed to whisper. He felt hot. His head swum. Guilt and shame and desire fluttered in his stomach. He knew that he should stop...

... But he had to know for sure...

Sirius flipped the card. The scene appeared. His breath caught as he watched the image, lips fusing, hot, and frantic. Familiar hands raked through his hair.

The picture froze. Whether it was temptation or the magic of the cards, Sirius did not know. He felt his hand reach out again as though he couldn't stop it...

... He had to know...

... He wanted to see...

... Just one more card...

Today was a free choice, so I gave @glassf1re the option of coming up with the word for today. The Ashmedain Deck is a device of my own creation.

to be honest with you guys, I'm kinda torn on whether or not swindle would be a chronic-overspender or a massive cheapskate

I mean. I get it: swindle is flashy. swindle has expensive taste. swindle dreams of being spoiled, of a house full of lavish things with a belly full of high-grade energon. and he damn well has enough shanix and credits to buy said things.

but would he be so bold as to spend his money on it?

a part of me says yes. I mean, swindle is living through wartime. maybe a part of him thinks that if he doesn't treat himself today, he might not live tomorrow to enjoy the comfort of his wealth. hence all the fancy mods, beautiful furniture, sleek spaceships, etc.

besides, it helps with stress. gives swindle a rush of dopamine when he purchases something costly. it's a symbol that all of his crimes and hard work have amounted to something. that what he's done is justified (at least to him). let all the glorified "morality-policing" bots clutch their pearls at his greed, at least swindle can AFFORD to indulge

that's something many bots can't do nowadays

besides, swindle is kiiinda conceited and DEFINITELY self-entitled. with a mech like that, who's surprised that he has some alarming spending habits?

but another part of me argues that BECAUSE swindle is in a war, he'd be even more stingy with his money. after all, I think it's a fair assumption to say swindle uses his wealth as a leverage. it places him in the lap of luxury. it buys him out of danger. it gains him intel from bots with loose lips. it keeps bots in debt to him. it silences his opponents. it fetches him bots willing to do favors for him (ex. mercenaries and such). apart from his wit and words, money is one of swindle's deadliest weapons

and if he spent that money on something expensive, then swindle would, by extent, be risking his life

I kinda find the latter idea more compelling

though, he could be somewhere down the middle. some weeks, swindle can't seem to stop spending. hes maxing out his credit card, filling his cart to the brim with meaningless items, piling and piling on more debt.

the next few weeks, swindle is under a strict budget, skimping meals, stressing over the amount of debt he's collected and overworking himself in order to compensate for it all

he's stuck with this dilemma. and he can never seem to get out of it. he WANTS to be able to spend on himself, wants that life of comfort he craves. but he can only spend so much before his consciousness takes over and chastises him for being reckless. the only way he ever slips back into spending is when his greedy nature comes in and encourages swindle to work harder on his business. scam a couple of bots. plan some heists. that'll get the credits rolling in. and after a nice little profit or two, swindle will be able to treat himself again, after weeks of processor-breaking hustling.

it's an endless cycle of overindulgence and abstinence. there is no middle ground. he's always on either side on the spectrum. swindle's greed might make him successful, yes, but it's also destroyed his relationship with money

I dunno. feel free to share your thoughts. I just like the idea of swindle's greed creating more problems for him, even though he argues his life has gotten drastically better ever since he out himself and money first

My MARVEL TAROT DECK CAME AND IT'S BEAUTIFUL! When I'm done with TRT's new chapters I'll reward myself by doing a lil vid showing a flip through but my initial thoughts as I went through it:

A. Oh god, this art is GORGEOUS

And

B. Oh god, the fandom's going to maul each other over 50% of these character choices

For now I will leave you with TWO cards before I get busy again!
