Hullo dearest one! ☺️💛 For the WIP Ask Game, please can you tell me about Chrysopoeia? I’m so intrigued!! Also, call me biased, but I’d like to hear about any fics for The Hobbit, please!
Howdy that is me ‼️
Chrysopoeia is a Haikyuu fantasy AU that I left unfinished from 2016, and I read the notes I had for it recently and remembered how much I adored the idea. So I want to pick it back up! The first 2 chapters are here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/5608300
The plot follows different houses of alchemist/magic users based off the different teams in the anime as they work to summon spirits for the crown for an unkown reason, while a revolution begins to brew from rumored spirits that have gone AWOL. Insert court intrigue, magic worldbuilding and whump, and a large web of character connections 💫
As for Hobbit fics!!! I have two projects I'm working on.
1) hello my old heart
This is a canon-compliant fic where Bilbo goes back to the Shire and tries to cope with his loss, along with raising Frodo, and over the years he begins to see the ghosts of three particular dwarves around Bag End. Cue sadness, emotional whump, and some healing squeezed in there hopefully! I've written a few pages for it, but the fic is mostly in the outline stages.
2) Our Future Days AU
This is the BIG BOY!!! It's my grand fix-it AU longfic where nobody dies and Frodo gets raised in Erebor and Bagginshield become girldads via cabbage patch hobbit babies 💫
It's also largely in the planning stages but I've written about 1k into the first chapter. The worldbuilding has been SO MUCH FUN and includes (but not limitied to): one spreadsheet to track ages and events, dozens of reference bookmarks, and a 60+ slide powerpoint to keep track of floor plans/layouts for various locations. I'm......maybe having TOO much fun with the worldbuilding and need someone to kick my ass into gear actually writing it 🥲
Hope you enjoyed hearing about your picks my dear 💛✨

Can we see older primrose and skye? I know they aren’t canon but I love them

Ketchum Kids!
Skye's a gourmet chef. Although usually quiet, Skye brings a lot of flare and performance to his cooking. Primrose is a Pokémon Ranger. For a long time she tried to follow in Ash's footsteps and become a strong Pokémon trainer but found that her own athletic abilities and skillset really leant itself well to being a ranger

day 15: haunting ♡
(femslashfeb prompt list)
#HALFWAY THROUGH??!#minifemslashfeb2024#ace attorney#lanamia#lana skye#mia fey#rotating them in my head#what if ghost mia DIDN'T agree with lana#I should add that my original concept for this was#that ghost mia is just a projection and lana is just imagining her spite post-mortem#as one does when they are not in a good state of mind#but I also think if mia genuinely disapproved of her actions... that would be so interesting#either way I think it should haunt lana#I just think that would be interesting#like what if mia asked about it when she was alive and investigating corruption#and lana deliberately lied to her#those kinds of regrets...#I love ghost stories...#me wanting mia to actually haunt the narrative...

OO OOO OOOO first off have a great lunch break!!
Second, for the three sentence prompt,
PITCH (I’m killing PRACTICING my singing right now so obviously I have to put a music reference)
Warriors wheezed as he stumbled off the battlefield.
“Captain, you good?” Sky asked as he approached alongside Hyrule.
The captain’s face was stained red from exertion, tears in his eyes, frightening both younger heroes - they’d never seen him in such a state.
“The—Rancher—” Warriors managed to get out before his wheezing faded and he started laughing.
This was all from laughing?
Sky and Hyrule looked at each other uncertainly. “Uh… yes? What about him?”
“That moblin’s knee nailed him,” Warriors continued, now cackling so much he let out another wheeze. “I’ve never heard his voice hit a pitch that high!”
The typically composed captain couldn’t get another word out, doubled over in hysterics, and Sky deduced quickly where Twilight must have been struck. He winced a moment in sympathy before both he and the traveler started to join their companion in laughing.
The Ordonian spent the rest of the evening glaring at them.
#you ask skye answers#lovely blarefordaglare#RIP Twilight’s bloodline#Sorry Malon your family ends there#writing#linked universe#linkeduniverse#lu warriors#lu twilight#lu sky#lu hyrule#Good luck with your music! :)#Twilight can now sing soprano for you :D

ᝰ. 𝐚/𝐧 . . . hdkwjdkw 1/8 asks complete lmao. this req was so cute!! I love reading the ‘moment of realisation’ dialogues in books, but it was especially fun to write it for the first time. it was a little weird to write only bc i’m a cabin 3 kid irl but it’s okay 😭 for the sake of a fluffy fic, I powered through, guys <3
2 years ago . . .
✮⋆˙ y/n’s pov
“some kid killed a minotaur!” a hermes cabin demigod yelled from near the dining pavilion. glancing up from our glasses of soda, annabeth and I turned towards the voice. “he’s a new one!”
we looked at each other, wondering which god couldn’t keep it in their pants again.
suddenly, a few apollo kids ran out from the infirmary towards the arch near thalia’s tree.
“the new kid’s probably clumsy,” annabeth said.
“he killed a minotaur,” I shot back.
“hey, you can be dumb and strong at the same time.”
“uh huh. whose child do you think he is? I bet it’s one of the big three.” I said.
“no way, they have a pact, remember-”
“do you really think they actually follow that, annie?” I snickered at her.
in a while, an unconscious boy about their age was carried into the infirmary. I only caught sight of his black hair, and dishevelled and bloody look. I decided to visit him the next day to check up on his condition.
the rest of the day was spent reading in my cabin, while my sisters tried new makeup products on our brother, which was quite funny, really.
throughout the next week, I left the warmth of my bed to visit the new kid—percy jackson—in the infirmary. he had begun to regain consciousness.
“who are you?” he asked, sharply inhaling a breath.
“oh, hey,” I smiled at him. “i’m y/n y/l/n. daughter of aphrodite.”
“right. daughter of aphrodite. a goddess,” he repeated slowly.
I realised that no one had explained about camp half-blood to him yet, and took that job upon myself after calling out for will and letting him know that his patient was awake.
“so, there’s gods and goddesses. and monsters. and everything in the greek myths you were taught? they’re all real. at camp half-blood, we’re all demigods—the children of a god or goddess and a mortal.” I continued to explain to him how the demigod world worked, remembering to talk about the mist, the gods, the cabins, and everything else.
I expected him to not believe me, and call me names (like the other new campers) for lying, but he took it like a champ. he nodded at me, sitting up properly, and asked for something so his arm would stop paining. I immediately got will to help him.
the next week, when I was out by the beach, reading my romance novel about a mortal girl and a faerie prince falling in love after being enemies, I heard sand shifting around behind me.
“who-” I turned around.
“hey, y/n, right?” percy asked, walking closer.
“ah, you remember,” I said, a smile growing on my face.
“well, yeah. you’re really just the only person who has spoken to me normally… and not like I was some intimidating and scary… thing,” he said, running his hands through his already dishevelled hair.
“come, sit down.” I patted the sand beside me. he took his place there, sitting down with his legs criss-crossed.
“what are you reading?” he asked.
I explained to him the plot, setting, characters, and everything about the book I was reading for the next few hours.
we sat there till dusk, watching the sun set into pretty hues of pink, purple, and orange.
“it’s so pretty, isn’t it?” I asked.
✮⋆˙ percy’s pov
“yeah, it is.” I replied to her, eyes fixed on her side profile.
wow. she’s so beautiful.
timeskip: present
“perce!” y/n called loudly, running towards me.
“heyyyy! n/n, you’re back! how was the quest? did you get hurt or anything?” I asked, hugging her, and then moving back to scan her for injuries.
“i’m fine, perce, all good. I got will to check me out and he cleared me,” she said, grinning. her face was swiped with dirt and grime, but she still looked like she was an ethereal princess who walked out of one of her books. “what? have I got a lot of dirt on my face?”
“nah, you’re cool. ‘s pretty.” I said, and she laughed—my favourite sound in the entire world. “and anyway, you need to change out of these clothes and meet me outside your cabin. I have something for you.”
“what is it?”
“that’s a surprise-”
“I hate surprises.”
“you’ll like this one,” I winked at her, as she laughed again.
timeskip
✮⋆˙ y/n’s pov
I changed into casual loose sweatpants and a shirt since it was summer.
ah, summer. one of most romantic seasons ever. the breeze whipping around a girl’s hair, as a boy runs towards her with flowers. the sunlight falling onto their faces as they share a kiss. watching the sun set in pretty shades everyday with each other. that was summer.
everything about it reminded me of percy. watching sunsets, seeing the sunlight fall on his face after he gets out of the water. the flowers, now dry, that he gifted me for every special occasion.
it was hard to admit that I liked him more than I would like any friend. i’d never picked up any hints from him, that might’ve signalled that he liked me, no matter how many of my siblings told me he did.
all friends hold hands, right? and all good friends wish each other a good morning and good night everyday. what was so special? the flowers?
“hey, n/n!” percy’s voice dragged me out of my thoughts. he was dressed in loose shorts and a hawaii button up, and my gods, he looked so gorgeous.
“perce! at least tell me where we’re going now,” I groaned.
“nuh-uh. a surprise is a surprise.” he brought out a blindfold and handed it to me. I raised my eyebrow at him. “put it on. i’ll take you there.”
“I swear to gods, if this turns out to be a prank-”
“shh, it won’t. now put it on,” he promised.
I walked closer to him and put on the blindfold, and he turned me around a few times to make sure I wouldn’t figure out where we’re going. I scoffed at his childish actions.
as he was standing behind me, I felt his warmth on my back. he took my arms at my side and urged me to walk ahead.
he manoeuvred me in different directions and finally stopped after a while.
“you ready, princess?” he asked. the nickname did something to cause butterflies in my stomach.
“yeah,” I whispered.
he took off the blindfold, and it was too bright for a second. I shielded my eyes and groaned, before letting them adjust to the harsh sunlight.
I looked around and saw a huge, fluffy blanket laid down on the grass of the fields. a basket with food was set in one corner and a bouquet in the centre.
specifically, a book bouquet.
“PERCY, HOW DID YO-”
“surprise,” he grinned, as I turned around and hugged him. he’d always given me gifts when I returned from quests, but this was, by far, the best.
“how’d you know all my favourites?” I asked, looking at the 10 romance novels on the blanket.
“oh, annie helped,” he said enthusiastically. “should we sit down and start eating? you can tell me all about the people in your books, and why you like romance books especially, yeah?”
smiling, we sat down on the blankets, and ate away with no care in the world.
✮⋆˙ percy’s pov
as she talked about her books for the next few hours, I could only think about how beautiful her brown eyes were, especially when the sunlight hit them at the correct angle. how soft her lips looked as her mouth moved at a faster pace than her thoughts. how perfect her cheeks were, smiling wide. how amazing she was. how smart and beautiful she was.
when did my feelings of friendship turn into love, for her?
as she continued to speak of the love between her favourite characters, I noticed her longing for a similar love. I could give that to her, couldn’t I?
wait. what? what am I even thinking? y/n’s my best friend.
“love is everywhere, in every gesture, every glance. it’s the thread that binds us together, connecting hearts across time and space,” she said.
and at that moment, I knew I was done for.
I was hopelessly in love with my best friend.
percy jackson x daughter of aphrodite — the love like in her books <3

OH MY GAWWWDDD ITS LANAAAAAA
LANA SKYEEEEEEE ‼️‼️
GOSH I LOVE THAT PROSECUTOR BADGE-LIKE CROWN
And if there’s Lana, there’s also Mia 👀
Nah but genuine question now, what’s Mia in your Royal AU??? Bc we’ve seen Maya, we see Phoenix’s magatama as a necklace, where’s Mia in all that?? What’s her role?? 👀
The Prosecutor's badge in the form of a crown is my Roman Empire. In my AU it is a symbol of rulership and only the highest ruler is crowned with it (In AU, Kings is the analog of Chief Prosecutor in the original.). The rest of the “swords” should wear their status in any way they like but not in the form of a crown. Either an emblem or any other conspicuous element, artifact, whatever. For example, Franziska wears it as a piece of jewelry on her hunting hat
Note: In the AU, all prosecutors are initiated into the “Swords”. While the defense side is accordingly initiated into "Shields" As boring as it sounds, I preferred the simple and obvious way of identifying the parties :D
In answer to the question about Mia. You won't be disappointed, her design is ahead of us and very soon. As well as a bit of information about her role.
Thank you for your question!!! I hope there will be more of them to come. I have a lot to share about my AU!

How do you rank the prosecutors on order of homophobia
forgot about this in my drafts for literally months oops. Anyway. Finished now!!!!
So I made this post a while ago that has some of the prosecutors and antagonists, but if you want a ranking of EVERY prosecutor (not including DGS bc i haven't finished yet) huzzah!!
Simon Blackquill: Not actually homophobic but he gets points docked for siccing Taka (known homophobe) at Klavier (known bisexual) for stealing his pretzels from the office pantry that one time. 3/10
Blaise Debeste: I think he's gay but he made me look at that ugly ass beard for far too long and I consider that disrespectful. out of principle? 8/10
Sebastian Debeste: Just look at him. 0/10
Miles Edgeworth: Bratworth was simultaneously gay, homophobic, and a misogynist, and eventually develops into a man who is only like 1.5 of those things. he's getting better. 5/10
Byrne Faraday: I don't really think he cares much about gay people he's busy being a single father and stealing shit. For the apathy? 2/10
Klavier Gavin: He's extremely gay and does a lot of work for the gay community but making Ema Skye deal with him is explicitly lesbophobic so 4/10
Godot: He has a lovely wife but whatever he was doing with Ron DeLite was probably not osha-compliant. I don't know what that means for his sexuality or stance on gay people and neither does he. ?/10
Ga'ran: I think she has a lot of other problems she should deal with first but considered she's bigoted to defense attorneys I don't think her being homophobic would be that out of pocket. Not sure I want to find out. 7/10
Neil Marshall: Have you ever been a gay bar? This guy would do NUMBERS. Also, real cowboys support gay rights. 0/10
Gaspen Payne: Being homophobic is actually why he got fired by the prosecutor's office and Winston is really fucking embarrassed about it. 10/10
Winston Payne: You'd think he'd be homophobic but you can't work for the Japanifornia Prosecutor's Office and hate gay people or you would actually go insane. He's like that one suburban guy who uses terms from the 60s but has the spirit. However, his ally lapel pin is really ugly so 3/10
Jaques Portman: He was calling Edgeworth slurs even before realizing he was gay. 9/10
Lana Skye: Dated Mia in college but refused to explain that to Ema because she has a lot of internalized homophobia and other weird issues of self. Repressed yuri personified. 1/10
Nahyuta Sahdmadhi: He supports gay people but gets all his talking points from the internet so even though he's supportive he's also incredibly fucking annoying about it and no one wants to invite him to brunch because of it. Stop using twitter for fact-checking you jackass. 2/10
Franziska Von Karma: Despite the fact that her lesbianism is so strong it borders on misandry, I think she has a lot of internalized homophobia so she spends the first 25 years of her life being a judgmental little shit. She'll get better dw about it. I believe she can bring that number down with time. 6/10
Manfred Von Karma: I think when he finds out Edgeworth is gay he starts going to gay bars and picking up dudes just to show Edgeworth he has way more rizz than him. Considering how people in my notes have told me on numerous occasions how much they want him carnally, I think he could actually pull it off. In that respect I think he's done a lot for the gay community. It ends up cancelling out somewhat because I think he'd be kind of an ass about it. 4/10

Charr Name Guide + Name List
Disclaimer: what is written here is derived from attentive observation of what's seen in-game and strives to be as lore-compliant and close to canon as possible.
Impotant note: if you want a name that can be used in-game, remember that the character limit is 19, spaces included!
FIRST NAMES
Can be pretty much anything you want, though there are some general guidelines.
Traditionally, first names are usually: - of Latin or Greek origin (Crecia, Galina, Vitus, Scylla, etc) - regular nouns (Ember, Rage, Talon, Flint, Snarl, etc) - simply made up for the sound (Rytlock, etc)
Exceptions are pretty common nowadays, with names taken also from other races, as a charr named Simon Blackgut is poked fun at for his human-sounding name.
Masculine names tend to have sharper sounds, while feminine sound smoother.
WARBAND NAMES
The name is picked when the warband is formed. While that usually happens in the fahrar, warbands can form and dissolve for any reason and at any point. Any charr who later joins the warband must change their last name to one that includes the warband's name. On certain occasions (death of the Legionnaire, their removal from the position, or events of importance to the warband), the name can be changed.
Warband names are not unique, and multiple warbands can have the same name even within the same Legion.
Warbands' names tend to indicate either their primary skills or line of duty (Net for fishers, Pick for miners, Welder for builders, etc), but some can be more generic or refer to different aspects shared by its members (Dawn, Paw, Heart, etc). Some warbands formed to fulfill a highly-specific duty might pick an otherwise "incorrect" name directly related to it (Ogre is a warband tasked with pushing back ogres).
Some warbands pick their name as a way to honor fallen soldiers or pay tribute to historical figures (the Scorch warband with Kalla Scorchrazor, Bhuer Goreblade with the Gore warband after his sire cleaned the tainted legacy of the name Gore).
Ash, Blood, Iron and Flame are not strictly off-limits as warband names, as there appear to be at least a Blood warband and an Iron warband seen in game. Regardless, individuals regularly pick them for their personal part of the last name.
[Note: the lore about the "Primus warbands" and Imperators needing to be part of them (or descendants of the Khan-Ur) seems to have been completely abandoned, other than the High Legion's names being implied to be derived from the warbands of the sons of the Khan-Ur]
LAST NAMES
The last name of a charr belonging to a warband is made of two words. One is the warband's chosen name, while the other is more descriptive of the individual (personality, appearance, ideals, history, occupation, etc).
Important: nouns, base form verbs and adjectives only. No adverbs, no comparatives.
The two words can be in either order, though they have to make grammatical sense and "sound right" (Shotfierce and Keepersoul don't really work, while Fierceshot and Soulkeeper do. Stoneglow and Glowstone work in either case.)
Nouns and verbs can be used in either position, while adjectives tend to be used for the first word (Fierceshot, Crimsonfist, Heavyblade, etc).
Most verbs can also be used as suffixes in their derivative noun form (chase/chaser, crack/cracker, gut/gutter, etc), and they can also be warband names. Note that the word used for the warband can't be altered in personal names (a member of the Welder warband can't change it to Weld, and so a member of the Weld warband can't use Welder).
Words used in warband and last names are singular. There are rare exceptions, usually for things that come in pairs or multiple (Haunteyes).
Last names can be compound words (Brimstone is both another name for sulphur and brim+stone), but compound words can't be used as part of surnames (Brimstoneblade wouldn't work, as they're effectively 3 words).
Words tend to be short, usually not longer than 7-8 characters.
Given their martial and industrial culture, charr are unlikely to pick peaceful, cutesy and weak-sounding words for their name, especially when combined. However, such words can still be worked with depending on the warband name (Sweetflower wouldn't be used, but both Sweetpoison and Flowerblade could be chosen by the right charr in the Poison and Blade warband respectively).
Likewise, names related to food, other species (animals or races), plants and the "beautiful/nicer" parts of nature are rare, usually coming down to the individual's duty or particular skills (there's a charr named Drakecatcher who could be part of either the Drake or Catcher warband, while Hawkslayer and Skaleslayer are found in the same map and could be both part of the Slayer warband). [Note: titles and names like those are more typical of norn and kodan.]
Despite their military-based culture, words that indicate ranks (both inside and outside of the Legions) are not used, likely due to the risk of mixing them up with actual ranks (boss, master, rookie, captain, general, soldier, tribune, etc).
Words used should be things reasonably known by the charr and especially Tyria as a whole (things that don't exist in Tyria like "horse", "bleach", "digital", etc). That said, some charr might end up using previously "off-limits" words after certain discoveries ("Holo" is unlikely to be used before the tech spread around Tyria after Personal Story, while "Jade" can be used for its other meanings but never in reference to Canthan tech prior to EoD) or mingling with other races ("Cable", "golem" and "aether" are common words for asura, but charr are unlikely to pick them unless they specialize in that kind of tech).
While not a rule per se, charr are quite unlikely to use technical or "fancy" words for their name, instead opting for more common and generic ones ("Coal" is more likely than "Carbon", "Salt" instead of "Sodium", "Iron/Steel/Metal" instead of more specific metals, etc).
It's important to note that not all charr regularly use a last name tied to their warband or even feel the need to have one. Some stick to their titles (Smodur the Unflinching, Erracus the Wise, Howl the Brazen, etc) or only their first name (usually gladia who renounce their previous last name or those born outside of the Legions who never had a warband).
Last but not least, keep in mind that most charr decide their names when they're cubs or teenagers, so don't be afraid to have fun and be cringe with them! :3
Other useful resources
→ Charr Name List ← Made by me. Hopefully includes all words used for names found in the game, plus a whole lot more that make sense for the average charr. I'll try to keep it updated/adding to it.
From the GW2 Wiki - Names section in the Charr page - List of known warbands on the Warband page (only includes mentioned warbands, leaving out all the NPCs that don't appear with someone who shares part of the name) - Charr NPC list (contains ALL charr NPCs in the game, so it's very long) - GW1 Charr NPC list
My fave name site, which has categories (Roman and Greek for charr specifically, but Italian might help too) and provides actual meanings, pronounciations and variants of names!
Guild Wars 2 Name Generator by newms34 (very good generator for all playable races if you quickly want ideas to start from, not extremely varied but still a great aid)
