2 Corinthians 11:13-14 says, "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, fashioning themselves into apostles of Christ. And no marvel; for even Satan fashioneth himself into an angel of light.
Anyway, this is Ducki from @galactic-blitz. Drawn in anticipation of me and Whisp's watch party!!! MY THEORY BETTER BE RIGHT!!! đĽ
Sorry for the strange look, trying to get back into digital art and I'm a bit rusty...
Also, whoever can find the painting I directly referenced in this gets a BIG OL pat on the back :33

also it's driving me nuts that the cuckoo trailer that was in front of "late night with the devil" isn't online yet because it truly felt like a fever dream. like literally, someone was asking me to recap it and it felt like trying to recall the details of a dream. also has what is maybe my favorite trailer scare that i've seen in a long time in it (yes the bike one)
#ive heard cuckoo is very weird/not what its being marketed as so im taking my excitement w a grain of salt but#it WAS a very cool trailer

Gilded Constellations | (wolfstar x reader)
Series Masterlist | Previous episode
Pairing: Wolfstar x Reader Word Count: 8.2 K Warnings: None Prompt: It's a snow day! This IS a Wolfstar x reader fic, but it's incredibly slow burn. They won't start all dating each other until we're very deep into the story, but I promise the long wait will be worth it. Proofread by lovely: @aremuslupinsimp
THIS CHAPTER CAN ALSO BE READ AS A ONESHOT
Chapter 35: Chill of Desire
Tuesday, December, 14th, 1976
âItâs snowing!â you heard Mary squeal, her excited tone waking you up instantly, and causing you to smile as you looked through the window. Mary had propped the window open and extended her hand as she stared outside.
It wasnât only snowing then, in fact, it had been snowing all night, all the towers, the fields and the valley were covered by a thick layer of snow. The trees stood tall, their branches delicately coated, creating a magical-looking scene, more magical than Hogwarts already was, anyway.Â
You had the view of the forest from your window, and you could see the Whomping Willow shaking off the layers of snow that had fallen over him at night, which made you smile, the memory of the devious night having been replaced by so many cuddles with the boys that the looking at the Willow was not as stressful as it had been at some point, you didnât think of how Remus had gotten hurt by it, but rather you thought of how you had kissed Sirius under it. And how you might be going to meet Moony later that month, as Vixen this time around.Â
The courtyards and pathways were like winding paths through a snowy maze, and the usually bustling grounds were hushed under the soft blanket of snow, you could see a few students outside enjoying the white fields âespecially the younger onesâ you still had hours before you had to get to class, you realised when you eyed the small cuckoo clock your mom had given you at the beginning of the year. It wasnât even time for you to go on your morning flight yet, but you thought perhaps it would be a good idea to skip flying in favour of playing in the snow, even if it was just for a day, you were sure youâd be able to convince James if you managed to recruit Remus and Sirius first.Â
The world outside seemed to have taken a pause, wrapped in the serene beauty of winter, with barely a few students playing in the snow and trying to get from one spot of the castle to the other without making much noise. Of course, that wouldnât last long, not as long as you could help it. You stood up and changed into something warm, putting on Remusâ sweater. You had taken the habit of wearing a lot more often since you wanted to test a theory that had cemented itself in your brain since the day of the Slytherin sweater incident.Â
Once you were ready you turned to the girls âCome outside in likeâŚâ You pondered for a second, 5 minutes to wake up Sirius, another 5 for the two of you to convince Remus to join your shenanigans. Like 10 minutes to convince Prongs and about 4 for them all to get ready. Peter would be coming the minute you convinced Potter, so you didnât worry much about that, â30 minutes,â you said, adding a few minutes to spare âItâll be fun.âÂ
âHow fun?â Lily asked, a look of worry on her face that made you laugh.Â
âItâs a snow day Lils, itâll be brilliant, I promise!â you said with a smile plastered on your face as you put on a pair of boots and disappeared from their sight. Returning just a second later to take the invisibility cloak you had borrowed from James the previous night. You had it on a ball, and neither of the girls asked about it since they had assumed it was just a blanket you borrowed from Sirius or something. The minute you stepped out, you turned over a corner and put it on, walking straight towards the boyâs dormitories.Â
Once outside their door you took a deep breath and leaned your ear close to the door, just wanting to make sure they were all still asleep. Which, as you predicted, they had been. You smiled and used your wand to open their door with a tweak on the classic âalohomoraâ that Remus has taught you.Â
They had charmed their door, obviously, they had, but Remus âwho often left his keys since he rushed in the morningsâ had found a way around their own charm and taught it to you since you had been sneaking in to cuddle him and Padfoot, as Vixen of course. It hadnât been every day, but you had all agreed that youâd have to do it a lot more often closer to the moon, to make sure the smell of the pack was well rubbed.Â
You thought you already smelled like them enough, but neither of them seemed convinced. Or rather, neither of them wanted to stop cuddling each other, and you didnât either. Padfoot was fluffy and Remus was always warm, which was especially nice on colder nights, the kind that were already much more common because of the time of the year you were in. And, sometimes, rather often, Sirius would turn back into himself and cuddle both you and Remus, only to turn back into Pads in the morning. If either Pete or James knew, they didnât say a thing. Remus had always been asleep, or at least pretended, so neither you nor Sirius noticed, and you, who would lay half a top of Remus half a top of Sirius who had now learned exactly how to pet you, werenât about to complain either.Â
Once inside you looked at the boys and opened one of the windows with a swish of your wand, bringing a small blizzard inside the room and leaning in over Siriusâ bed, letting the snow fall slowly over his delicate features. He had his mouth slightly parted, and his hair sprawled all around him. He was the loveliest thing to look at; he looked like a princess, like Snow White, you thought, especially when a small snowflake got stuck on his thick black lashes. No wonder Prince Charming wanted to kiss the girl awake. You too felt tempted to kiss him.
âSirius,â you whispered.Â
He groaned, and you whispered his name again, giving in and giving him the kiss you wanted, a quick peck over one of his eyes, feeling how the snowflake over his lash melted away with the warmth of your mouth. He opened his eyes and looked at you, and then around, there was snow all over, coating you, himself and his bed as you leaned over him with a sneaky little smile on your face. The smile that oh so clearly stated, you were up to something.Â
You were looking at him in such a way that he forced himself to clear his throat, trying to think of anything other than his morning discomfort. On days like this, he would get a shower and release himself of those thoughts, and something else. But clearly, that wasnât an option at that particular moment, let alone with you leaning on top of him like that. You licked your lips and he almost cursed.Â
âSirius,â you said again âItâs snowing!âÂ
âI can tell Starshine,â he said as he picked a small snowflake that had gotten stuck in your hair, watching it dissolve in his fingers before he turned back to you. Well done, Sirius, she hasnât noticed, he applauded for himself.Â
You smiled and leaned in closer to him, his breath hitched in his throat, you had no fucking idea what you were doing to him. You leaned enough to whisper in his ear. âHelp me convince Prongs to play in the snow instead of practice.âÂ
He almost frowned, turning to get a better look at you. âYouâve never had a snow day?âÂ
âIâve hadâŚâ you said, âbut never with you.âÂ
He sighed at your words but turned to you with a warm smile. âFine, letâs go,â He said as he sat on the bed, still thinking of ways to get rid of his problem, his covers falling discreetly over it. If only there was a spell for that.Â
âNo, first we must convince Remus.âÂ
âRemus, why?âÂ
âIf Remus is in, thereâs no way Prongs will say no, even if weâre skipping practice.âÂ
Sirius seemed to be processing what you said but nodded. âGo ahead, Iâll go change,â he said, motioning for you to move as he leaned over to find his shirt âbet heâll like it if you wake him up with snow too,â he said with a devious smile and you rolled your eyes, giving him a soft peck in the mouth before walking over to Remus, bringing the small blizzard along with you.Â
Had it been a few weeks ago, you might have been hesitant to do exactly what you were about to do, but you had climbed onto Remusâ bed so often in the past few days, either for cuddling as Vixen or just for chilling, that it was almost more natural than it was to climb onto your own. It was like climbing onto Siriusâ bed even, although, lately the two of you spend a lot more time on Remusâ bed than his own, because of the scent thing.
You leaned over and watched the small snowflakes fall over Remusâ face, he looked just as handsome as Sirius had. Or perhaps, the way to describe Sirius correctly would be ethereal, Remus was handsome.Â
âHey Rem,â you said softly, placing his hand over his shoulder. This time around, you decided to be softer, and more careful, not forgetting that one time he had pinned you on his bed. He stirred, brows furrowed lightly and nose almost imperceptibly scrunched up.Â
âSirius?â he asked, not opening his eyes, you smelled like Sirius, and you and him. Your scents had been so mixed at this point, he just assumed it was Sirius since it would make more sense for it to be him, especially to be bothering him so early in the morning, not that he minded, not as long as it was him.
âTry again,â you said with a smile.Â
Remus hummed content, âLittle Witch.âÂ
You eyed him cautiously, his eyes were still closed and you leaned a little closer, shaking his shoulder lightly. Then he all but grabbed you by the waist and pushed you to him, Remus was still way too asleep to process what he was doing, and you fell over his torso as he tightened his grip. When Sirius walked out of the bathroom he spotted the two of you and thought it was the most adorable thing heâd seen, even if you had a small frown as you tried to fight your way out of the werewolfâs grip. But Remus was way too fucking strong.Â
You huffed and turned to Sirius âMind a little help?â you mouthed, he smirked in response. In seconds he turned into Padfoot and walked over to the two of you, leaning his head into yours for a second before jumping so his paws were on the bed and then, he leaned over and started licking Remusâ face.Â
You barely managed to see Remus scrunch his face before he opened his eyes, looking rather startled. First, there was snow; second, Sirius had woken him by licking his fucking face; and third, you were laying horizontally across his torso, your head tilting slightly to the side with a rather amused expression, and he was holding you there.Â
âWhat the fuck?âÂ
âYouâre very grabby in the mornings,â Sirius said, now back in his human form and staring at Remus with his face laid over his crossed arms, which were leaning on the same spot Padfootâs paws had been on, smile plastered on his lips.
 Fucking hell he looks adorable, Remus thought.Â
And so did you, calmly lying there as you waited for him to loosen his grip. You didnât mind waiting all that much either, Remus was comfortable. And then Sirius turned to you, placing one of his hands over your hair and letting it gently slide out, causing your head to turn towards the two of them in his action âLook at the poor thing, waiting there patiently for you to let her go Moony.â
You frowned, condescending. You were about to argue, but there was something about the way both boys looked at you that also made you want to shut up, as if you didnât want to break whatever spell had been cast over the three. And it wasnât the first time either. You blinked a couple of times. âPoor thing my ass,â you managed to say to Sirius, even if you let him play with your hair still.Â
Remus almost reached to do the same, his hand twitched, but you didnât notice, you had closed your eyes as Sirius continued to play with your hair. Looking rather content in the position. A small spark of rage came to Remus and he tightened his grip around you, only for a second until he realised that he was way out of line and let you go. You didnât move, just enjoyed Siriusâ hand for a few more seconds and Remus wished he could be the one to make you feel like that. Eventually, you took a deep breath and opened your eyes again, biting your lip as you looked at Remus âItâs snowing.âÂ
He looked around and raised his eyebrows at you, his face clearly stating âno shit Sherlock��.Â
âStarshine here wants to go play out there in the snow with us,â Sirius said.Â
You were about to swat him for being so haughty with you, but you realised by the way the corner in his mouth lifted forward, he was just doing it to piss you off. You didnât even realise the way Remus had gulped with how intensely you were glaring at Sirius.Â
âOr we could just stay and cuddle,â you said with a sneaky little smile, you knew Sirius was already eager to go out there and play with the snow. Two people could play his little game. But both boys liked the idea just as much as the prospect of going out in the snow with you.Â
âLetâs go,â Remus said as he patted you on the leg casually, a signal for you to get off him. If Sirius noticed his gesture, he didnât seem to care much that he had done it, and you didnât seem to notice either. It was almost as if the three of you had special concessions with each other that wouldnât be allowed to many others. For example, Sirius would surely be pissed if you had been cuddling Tom, or even Peter, but with Remus, he didnât seem to mind, heck he even encouraged it sometimes. Not that any of the three noticed these little things, but some people did.Â
âGet changed,â You told Rem with a bit of a smile, âWeâll go wake James.âÂ
Remus nodded and both you and Sirius stood up. You walked over to Jamesâ bed, and Sirius was about to jump over him to wake him up with a thud, but you stopped him, bringing in your small blizzard over his friend. Sirius smiled and took his wand out, making more snow come inside, and having relatively strong âand coldâ winds blow over Prongs.Â
Neither of you was being half as gentle as you had been with Remus, was it because you knew Moonyâs short temper or⌠something else? Perhaps it was part of those special concessions you allowed one another.Â
James started to shiver, pulling his covers higher up only for Sirius to slide them down again with a swish of your wand. Only then did you realise Prongs had been shirtless under the covers. You gasped silently at the sight, covering your mouth and staring. Prongs was fucking ripped, not as much as Remus but certainly ripped. You did not remember him being so fit back when you had been him.
Sirius nudged you with his shoulder when he noticed you were staring âStop ogling him, will you?â he said slightly annoyed, he tried to hide it, and it slipped pass you.Â
You shook your head, still amazed. âDo you have a camera? Lily should know.âÂ
Ah⌠so thatâs why sheâs staring at Prongs, fair enough, Sirius thought. He stared too, also thinking that while Prongs was ripped, Remus was much better. The snow became thicker around Prongs as Siriusâ thoughts focused on his other friend, the wind became even stronger, blowing on Jamesâ hair, and making it even messier than usual. You were about to tell Sirius to hold back a little when James woke up, sitting on his bed fast and in panic.Â
âWakey-wakey Rudolf!â You said with a smile.Â
Remus, who was just stepping out of the bedroom, looked at the two of you, wicked smiles on your faces while James stared, almost horrified, and he smiled. His two naughty little crushes. He wondered if youâd reach in to cuddle him and Sirius tonight, he wanted you to do it, he wanted you to do it really bad.Â
âWhat in the bIoodyââÂ
You were about to speak, but Sirius stole your line âIt���s snowing!âÂ
âItâs freezing, that's what is!â he said as he pulled the covers, but you took them from him and dangled them in the air.Â
âNo-uh Prongs, itâs time to get up!â He gave you a reproachful look, âCome on! Itâs a snow day, we must play in the snow a little before it melts away⌠and class starts.âÂ
The blizzard you and Sirius had caused was already dissipating, leaving the beds of the boys, and their floor, just a little slippery. But James peered to the window. âI highly doubt the snowâs gonna melt away anytime soon, luv⌠Besides, what about flying?âÂ
âNo flying today mate,â Remus intervened from behind the two, gently placing his hands on both yours and Siriusâ shoulders, âItâs snow day, and the first one of the season.âÂ
âButâŚâÂ
You sighed. âLily will be there,â you added.Â
Jamesâ eyes pretty much beamed after you said that and he ran up to his trunk, throwing a pillow towards Peterâs bed who woke up completely confused, âWhy am I being attacked?â he asked with a frown.Â
âItâs a snow day Pete, weâre all coming out to play!â You said excitedly, Peter blinked as if wondering why the hell you were in his room before remembering you had been over more often than not lately, and because of his idea, that is.
âMorning Vix,â he said politely. âFancy seeing you here,â he added as a joke.
âOh.. piss off and change before you start teasing us all over again,â Sirius responded.
And he had been teasing you rather often. Since you started cuddling Remus together, he wouldnât stop with the canine jokes. Either Puppy cuddles, lovable howlers, or whatever the hell came into his mind at that moment. He found it hilarious that the three of you were so close and that the three of you were a variant of the canine family. Something about being meant to be or whatever.Â
Peter just snickered and walked into the bathroom with clothes in hand, James didnât even care, he straight up turned around and took off his pants right there in front of you, which had Sirius pull you to look at him and Remus cover your eyes with his hands. You laughed at their silly reactions. âYo, Rem, when I said I would let you blindfold me, I didnât think youâd actually go through with it.âÂ
âSly little fox, promising things without meaning them, are we?â He teased.Â
You laughed again, letting your head shake. Remus was eyeing Sirius then, and Sirius returned the stare, the two of them stayed like that, almost frozen as they looked at each other, your laughter almost fading into the background as Sirius turned his gaze towards Remusâ diverted smile. Remus has a pretty smile, pretty like Starshineâs, he thought.Â
âIs he done?â You asked, pulling on Moonyâs hand to try and see a little bit better. That broke their trance and the two of them turned back to look at you, Siriusâ eyes flickering to your lips for a second, thinking he might actually be going insane.Â
âYeah, Iâm done,â James said as he leaned over and placed an arm around your shoulders. âWhy are we hogging Vixen?âÂ
âShe came to wake us up with a fucking snowfall, now she must suffer,â Remus said as if it were the most natural thing. You nudged him lightly, about to say something when Peter stepped out, several layers of sweaters over him.Â
You smiled âYou get cold easy, Wormy?âÂ
âHeâs got no tolerance,â James said, âand he always forgets the warming spell.â
âI could help you with it,â you offered.
âThanks,â he said with a genuine smile, âbut Iâve come prepared,â he added as he pulled a small piece of parchment from the pocket of his coat, showing it off in between his index and ring finger. âAnnie gave it to me and charmed it so I wouldnât lose it,â he explained, âIt always reappears in my pockets now.âÂ
âWhat? Thatâs brilliant!â you said reaching for the parchment and taking it from Peterâs hand for a second, looking at the symbols in the back. Remus approached you from behind to take a look.
 âItâs complicated magic,â he said.Â
âIt looks like an altered version of Homunculus,â Sirius said, he too had approached you and stared at the back of the small paper.Â
âMixed with a clinging spell and a respawn one,â you added perplexed, âItâs incredibleâŚâ you said breathily, disbelief lacing your tone.
âIndeed.â Peter proudly raised his head. âAnnie is insanely clever.âÂ
You smiled and gave the paper back to him, before frowning and turning to the boys. âDo you guys think the Homunculus charm could help with the map?â you asked with a frown.Â
Remus bit his lip as he thought about it and then turned to you, âVixen, thatâs it! If we take the homunculus cham and somehow connect it to Hogwarts MagicââÂ
âAnd then bind it to the core of the map then⌠we could have absolutely every single student, teacher and visitor to the castle tagged at once!âÂ
Remus nodded, âNo more sneaking charms in their robes and backpacks! Fucking hell, weâve cracked it!âÂ
You and Remus were staring at each other with such sheer excitement over it, so hyped up that the boy almost reached out to kiss you, managing to stop, and clenched his fist by his side.Â
âNerds,â Peter teased, dragging out the e slightly.Â
âBut hot ones,â Sirius added inadvertently, giving a small shrug as he did.
Remus turned to Sirius with a frown, but you just placed your hand over one of his shoulders and nodded. âIndeed we are,â you said and sent a wink his way. You then spun on your heel back to the rest of the marauders âShall we? The girls must be waiting for us by now,â you said, standing on your toes to look over Siriusâ shoulders, at the clock.Â
 A few seconds later, and due to Jamesâ idea, you were all running down the stairs and through the halls, in an attempt to get to the orchards as fast as possible.Â
âDo not run in the halls!â you heard a couple of scandalised paintings scream, and you just giggled as Sirius threw a silencing spell their way. The portraits looking at him enraged as you all kept running. By the time you reached the doors to the grounds, you were all panting, cheeks burning and grinning like fools.
You were bent down trying to catch your breath when you felt a snowball that came from the outside straight to your face. The boys gasped and started laughing as you dusted off the remnants of snow and looked up and tried to spot where it had come from. You continued to scan the field, only to find Lily Evans, smiling and waving at you with the most guilty expression you had ever seen in a person.Â
Now it was your turn to gasp. âThatâs what you get for waking us all up early,â She shouted from a few metres in the distance.Â
âMary woke us up!â You argued, âI only made arrangements.âÂ
âNo, no,â James said, a wicked smile on his face. âYou did wake us up early,â he added as he pointed at all the marauders. âAnd with a fucking blizzard,â the boy was already walking towards the redhead, âI say itâs time for payback.âÂ
You were about to say something when you received another snowball in the face, you looked at the boy with an expression of absolute betrayal as the leftover snow fell over your coat. âJames Potter you little shit!â you said. He gave you a daring look in return. And you scoffed amused. Then you leaned down and made a small ball, packing the snow gently before throwing it his way. James easily veered out of the way, which you should have expected, since he was so used to dodging bludgers.Â
âThat all you got? Youâd make a terrible beater, luv!â he teased, taking the ball Lily gave him and launching it your way, this time around you managed to dodge, but the ball fell right on the side of Siriusâ head.Â
âProngs, my hair!â he whined. Both you and Remus snickered, the taller boy was now the one passing you a snowball, allowing his hand to linger just for a second too long, as he did, not that anyone noticed, Sirius was too busy taking snow out of his hair and Peter had run off somewhere earlier. You smiled and brought the ball up to your face.
Using what you learned from charms to perform a small, wandless spell, over the projectile, you smiled wickedly and threw it his way again. James dodged to the side but the snowball turned with him and landed square on his face. You laughed as James looked at you with absolute shock, trying to remember if you had âat any pointâ taken your wand out. When he realised you hadnât, he was half impressed, and just as he was pushing his glasses back on his face, he received another ball on the side of his head, his hair getting filled with snow as he gasped.Â
Sirius âwho had thrown the ballâ was waving at him with a smile. Until seconds later he too received a snowball on his face, a laugh from Marlene as she nudged Mary echoed in the distance.Â
Remus was about to pass you another snowball when he too got hit, square on his chest âthe lucky bastardâ by none other than Beth Doxon. She smiled, her bright red hair being covered by a warm Gryffindor cap. âCome on Professor Lupin! Stop passing balls and start throwing them!â she taunted, Remus took the ball in his hands and threw it her way.Â
âKind of fits you,â you said with a smile as you leaned down for another ball and moved it to your mouth to charm it again, âProfessor Lupin, itâs got a ring to it.âÂ
âI much prefer the sound of Professor Moony,â Sirius teased from behind, âencapsulates his personality better.â
âSod off, Pads!â Remus said, also crouching down to get more snowballs, when he stood up, and another ball came your way, you quickly moved behind him. He turned to you in disbelief. âWhat am I? Your human shield?â he asked, just as a snowball fell on the side of his face.Â
âAnd an effective one, isnât he Kit?âÂ
âVery,â you responded with a light giggle. âItâs about his broad shoulders,â you said as you placed both hands on them, Remus tensed, looking at Sirius, thinking he might be angry, or jealous, or something. But neither of those things happened, instead, he joined your praising.Â
âAnd heâs tall too,â Sirius added, walking right behind you, and placing his hands over your shoulders, really close to your neck, in fact, close enough so his cold fingers crashed against your warm skin, which caused you to hiss and step away from him, crashing onto Remus.Â
âShit Sirius!â You complained as you attempted to tighten the scarf around your neck âYouâre cold as fuck.âÂ
âBut you warm my heart baby,â he teased, an overly gooey tone in his voice as he extended his hands towards you again, you knew exactly what he was about to do and you scurried out of his grasp and ran towards the snow, even if you got a few snowballs thrown your way as you tried to cross the field. You found a statue and with a quick confringo, melted the snow at the top to make a dent and take cover.
You quickly made a ball from the snow at your side and threw it on Siriusâ hair, leaning your head just enough time for him to notice it had been you. He eyed you, diverted and then you felt a snowball hit the back of your head, you turned around just enough to find Remus with another snowball in his hand. Â
âScoot over, will you?â He said as he leaned down, as if ready to enter your improvised trench.Â
âNo, you threw a snowball in my head,â you responded, feigning annoyance.Â
Remus chuckled and placed one of his legs inside your trench either way, âAnd you used me as your shield, weâre even.âÂ
You shook your head in amusement but scooted over either way. Remus swished his wand and suddenly a pile of snowballs appeared behind you. You smiled and took your own wand out, whispering the same locating spell over all of them. Remus raised his eyebrow at you as if he was impressed, and you shot him a wink as you took a ball and leaned over to throw it towards Lily, meanwhile, Remus was throwing some Bethâs way.Â
âYouâve abandoned me for a sexy werewolf I see,â Sirius whispered in your ear, he had apparated just behind the two of you. He had been practising since your last class when Professor Dumbledore allowed you all to try doing it for the first time by yourselves, and he was insufferably good at it.Â
âThe werewolf doesnât want to bury his freezing cold hands on my neck,â you said âif only you knew where he wanted to bury themâ without even turning to look at your boyfriend, if you had, youâd probably go soft at the sight of his eyes. He often got what he wanted from you with just a look, and he fucking knew it all too well. Not that you didnât have the same effect on him, hence, you two were absolutely chaotic together.Â
Your small trench was barely enough for the three of you to fit in together, and itâs not that either of you was a stranger to touching each other, but Remus was feeling the heat rise up to his cheeks as your shoulders brushed against his, but much more worse when his back brushed against Siriusâ smaller chest. It was like the Halloween party all over again, but this time Remus didnât want to run away.Â
Well, perhaps a part of him did, but the rest of him, the part that had thoroughly enjoyed cuddling Vixen and Padfoot, wanted to do the exact same to you and Sirius. He wanted the two of you to be his, to slather you with his scent so much that the entire world knew who you belonged to.Â
Of course, that was ridiculous, Remus knew, but he was hungry, Moony was hungry, the problem is he didnât want food, he wanted his two best friends.Â
A nudge in his stomach pulled him out of his thoughts. âMind teaching me how to make so many balls at once Professor Lupin?âÂ
âItâs Professor Moony,â Sirius insisted, he had to duck as a ball flew towards his head in that instant.Â
You rolled your eyes âRem?âÂ
He was still a little shaken by the thought, almost hazy with how thrilled being so close to the two of you made him feel. âYeah sure, just⌠whisper pila nix,â he said as he showed you what he did. âItâs a simple swish and curl.âÂ
You did as told and in seconds there was another pile of snowballs ready for you to use. Sirius looked at Remus surprised. âYouâre a great teacher mate,â he said, âshould try helping her with transfiguration.âÂ
You groaned at that âYou know Iâm a lost cause,â you said as you ducked, the small ball falling straight on Siriusâ face. He tugged your hair lightly âOi, what was that for?â you complained, turning to look up at him.
âSo you warn me next time.âÂ
You looked at him amused, and grabbed some snow from the side of your trench, âHey Puppy, thereâs a snowball coming your way,â he looked around, as if trying to find the offender, only to receive one right from where you were crouching.Â
He turned to look back at you shocked and smiled as he shook his head, âOh you little Minx!â he said as he bit his lip, âI was letting you go scot-free earlier.âÂ
âNot my fault you didnât see the ball,â you said, unconsciously etching closer to Remus.Â
âAww darlingâŚâ Sirius said as he crouched next to you, and pulled you into a hug.Â
âSirius, whatâ what are you, fuckâŚâ you said springing up from the spot you were on, his hand âhis freezing cold handâ that he had slipped under both your shirt and sweater had landed on your bare back. You stood behind Remus again, using him to shield yourself from Sirius. âTreason!â you said dramatically.Â
âYou donât want another hug from your boyfriend?â he asked with a playful pout.Â
You shook your head, still feeling the cold of his hand. If the snow fight was still going, neither of you was paying too much attention to it. Let alone Remus, who was really struggling not to let the feeling of you pressed against his back get the best of him. Only made worse by the way Siriusâ wrapped his arms around him and pressed himself to the boy as he tried to reach you either way.
Do they not fucking know about personal space?, he thought. But of course, you didnât, not when the two of you had been cuddling him every other night. Needless to say, it was different for him, he was just cuddling two fluffy animals when he fell asleep âexcept in those rare occasions Sirius would turn backâ meanwhile, both you and Sirius were just cuddling good old Remus. This wasnât any closer to him than youâd been already.Â
Remus didnât speak, he was holding his breath. Sirius kept fucking pressing against him and you kept squirming behind his back. The golden specks of his eyes were so golden they looked like a different colour altogether, more like Moonyâs than his own. The chocolaty brown shifting into dangerous and shimmering aureate.Â
âMoony! Moony help!â you called out in between laughs.
âDonât you dare, Moons!â Sirius warned.Â
Sirius pressed harder as you tried to squirm away and it was enough for him to feel bIood run south. He had to stop this before either of you noticed what was happening to him, so he turned around and grabbed both of your shoulders, digging his hands in between your necks and the back of your heads, enough force to get your attention, but not enough to hurt either of the two.Â
Sirius seemed to be shocked at how much warmer Remusâ hands were in comparison to his, to yours. You were not, you knew Remus tended to run on the warmer side. Hence, cuddling him on cold nights was so useful. âEnough,â he said, flashing his golden eyes at the two of you, the colour slowly sinking back into brown as the two of you looked at him as if his eyes had been those of a basilisk instead of his own, frozen.Â
And then, you eyed Sirius, a small smirk playing on the corner of your lips as you sank your hands back in the snow. He smirked in return, sinking his hands as well. By the time Remus noticed your intentions, your hands âicy and freezingâ were on his neck and Sirius had slid his hand under Remusâ shirt.Â
Merlin knew who had been more startled after that. You, who had tumbled as you pulled on Remus and had him fall on top of you. Remus who had been shocked at the way Sirius had gone straight for his stomach âwhich in truth, had been a lot more shocking than the coldâ and had his breath hitch in his throat. Or Sirius Black, who was only now contemplating his actions, realizing how awkward it must have been for his friend, and having a mini panic attack over the fact that digging his hands under Remusâ sweater felt as fucking thrilling as it did.Â
Remus was a lot less soft and a lot more firm than you were. And he adored your softness, but fuck, Remusâ harder frame felt impious under his hands. It felt lurid, licentious, beguiling⌠and it placed some rather salacious thoughts in his head.Â
Thoughts that⌠would be worthy of a muggle rock star. Of Freddie and Bowie, and perhaps even Elton. But Sirius was notâ he wasnât because if he had been⌠heâd know, right?
As you still had Remus pulled by the neck, you received yet another ball on the head, the leftover even splashing onto Remus whose head was so close to you that you could smell his hair, and then, you started laughing. So hard that you werenât even feeling the cold against your back, the snow slowly sinking in your robes and soaking them.Â
Sirius was the next one to laugh, taking his hands off of Remusâ stomach and letting himself fall next to the two of you as he continued to cackle. And lastly, Remus joined, you still hadnât let go of his neck, almost using it as a personal heater at that point, he didnât seem to mind, and eventually he just sort of relaxed into you, if you felt the shift in weight as he let go, you didnât seem to mind at all either.Â
âWell, well, well, would you look at the love puppies all cosied up while we continue the snowball fight.âÂ
Sirius grabbed a snowball from the side and threw it his way without even looking, and since they all had the missile spell it landed straight onto Peterâs face. âShut it Wormtail,â he said, borderline rudely.Â
While Sirius had never minded being called âLove Puppyâ or whatever other joke Peter came up with, that was before he started doubting himself about whatever the hell was happening to him whenever he spotted Remus. Especially after exactly what he was feeling after he placed his hands under the other boyâs shirt, especially because it had been so fucking similar to the feeling he got when he did it to you.Â
âWeâre off for breakfast. You are not planning to stay all tangled in your little love trench, are you?â Peter asked again, whipping his face off the snow and paying no mind to Sirius and how rude heâd been.Â
âWe might be,â you joked, your hands had unconsciously travelled to Remusâ head after he laid down and you were now toying with his hair. He had silky hair, a little thicker in comparison to Siriusâ curls. Remus hummed in agreement, closing his eyes as he enjoyed the way your hands felt on his scalp. If Sirius thought it was weird, it had been his fault he ended up on top of you anyway. A part of him was telling him how bad of an argument that was, but it was easy enough to ignore it when Sirius didnât seem to mind, and your hands felt heavenly.Â
âSuit yourselves, I heard there was going to be an assortment of Christmas pies today,â he said with a shrug.Â
Your head snapped his way. âChristmas pies, you said?â you asked, eyes shining and mouth watering at the thought. Your soft touch on Remusâ head switched to an unintended pull of his hair as you turned.
âOuch!â He complained.Â
You winced, âSorry Rem,â you said, not even turning to him as you patted him on the shoulder and wriggled your way out of the sandwich he had trapped you in with the snow. He tried not to look disappointed as he stood back on the small trench. By then you were already standing outside of it, and looking at Peter as if you wanted him to elaborate.Â
âThe elves mentioned something,â he said simply. âApple, pecan, peach, chocolate, some savoury ones too I assume.â
If you were a cartoon, youâd be drooling. âWell boys, pleasure messing with you and all that, but itâs pie time,â you said as you turned to walk behind Peter and the rest.Â
âWhoâs the traitor now?â Sirius shouted with a smile.Â
âIâll save you boys a seat,â was your only reply as you started sprinting towards the Great Hall, determined to be among the first to arrive so you could choose from the assortment of pies available.Â
The boys caught up with you as you were taking a seat, already having walked through the length of the table and picked out the pies that youâd be eating. When they sat down, Remus at one side of you and Sirius purposely taking the other side to keep some distance from himself and the source of his thoughts. You picked two pies from your plate and placed them in front of each of the boys.Â
âWhatâs this?â Remus asked as he picked it up.Â
You were about to give a bite to one of the tarts youâd picked and said âPie,â with a shrug, taking a bite right after and moaning at how good it was.Â
Siriusâ whose head had already been messy that day, had to adjust his pants uncomfortably. First, you woke him up and he couldnât complete his morning routine, then there was the whole confusing thing whatever the hell was going on in his brain when he was close to Moony and lastly, you moaning shamelessly as you ate.Â
âNo shit Sherlock,â Remus said as he pushed you lightly, shoving you against Sirius whose breath hitched as you laid your cheek on his shoulder and pressed a light kiss. âI mean, whatâs it made of?â You sat straight and pushed Remus in return.Â
âTry it, I know youâll like it!â you said with a smile and gave another bite to yours. He gave you a distrusting look. âOh come on, Moony! I wouldnât give you something you donât like! Youâd get all pissy and Pissy Moony is no fun.âÂ
âPissy Moony?â he asked, almost offended. âYou have a term for that?âÂ
You left your pie on the table and raised his up to his mouth. âSirius told me about it,â you said, âNow eat up, I promise youâll like it.âÂ
He gave you one last side eye and then gave it a bite, missing your hands the moment you brought them back to your plate to take a bite of yours.Â
âCherries and chocolate,â Remus said with a smile as he turned to you. âI love it. How did you know?âÂ
You shrugged, âIâm just that brilliant.âÂ
âWill you also mouth-feed your boyfriend or is that only reserved for dear Moony?â Sirius flirted, trying to regain some sort of control of the dire situation he found himself in.Â
Sirius didnât mean anything by it, but the way heâd said âyour boyfriendâ straight up felt like a jab on Remusâ heart. Sirius was right, the two of you were dating and he seemed to be intruding more and more lately. But then again, the only times Sirius seemed upset about how close you all were, were when he was teasing.Â
You rolled your eyes, but decided to take his pie in your hands either way âClose your eyes,â you instructed. Sirius gave you a weary look but did as told. âTry and guess what it is, deal?â you asked as you leaned it closer to his mouth. He leaned enough to give it a bite and then turned to you surprised âIs thatâŚ? Does it have firewhiskey?âÂ
You smiled and pulled out a small bottle from your pocket, âThought youâd like something a little different,â you said with a smile âpeaches and firewhiskey.â Sirius took the pie from your hands, his discomfort almost fading in the background as he took a look at the pie youâd given him.Â
âBut how?âÂ
You shrugged âAdded the firewhiskey and then did a small warming spell so it cooked a bit. Iâm sure it would be better if they were cooked together from the start but I thought youâd appreciate a little spiceâŚâ
âI do, wanna taste it?â he asked as he passed it over, you gave it a small bite and all but moaned again, even closing your eyes and letting your head fall back just a little, exposing your neck to both boys, who could barely keep their eyes away from it, especially Remus. âFuck Iâm an incredible cook, Moons taste this out too!â you said as you, for the second time that day, shove a pie close to his face. When he gave a bite he couldnât help but taste both you and Sirius in it. It really was fucking delicious.Â
He nodded as Sirius leaned over you to take the pie from Moony, their hands brushing against each other and giving both boys an electric-like feel, not because of actual electrical shock, but rather because of what they felt for each other. Sirius reclined back on his seat and placed his hand on your leg, seeking the hem of your skirt before sliding it over your skin.Â
Same fucking feeling.Â
You looked at his hand and nudged him lightly, he gave you a flirty wink in return that made you laugh and Remus tried to avert his gaze from both Siriusâ hand and the way your skirt had ridden up a good deal.Â
You gave another bite of your pie and turned to Remus, as casually as you could muster âeven if you were a bit nervous to ask, which you shouldnât be because he was your friendâ âWanna come to Slughornâs Christmas Party with me?â No better time than now, right?
Remus wasnât so sure about that, he almost choked on his own pie, he wiped his mouth with the back of his sweater before turning to yours with a frown âIâm sorry, what?âÂ
Sirius started drawing circles on your leg, the way your skirt moved with each of his strokes didnât escape Remusâ nervous gaze on you. âThe Christmas Party from the Slug Club, Iâm supposed to bring someone with meâ âyou tilted your face with a smileâ âWant to come?âÂ
Remus turned to Sirius, giving him a look, the other boy just shrugged with a nod but that wasnât enough. âWhat about Sirius? Your boyfriend?â The words almost hurt to say.Â
âHe doesn't want to come,â you said. âRight, Siri?âÂ
âThatâs more your kind of nerd stuff,â he said after he nodded, and pointed at the two of you.Â
âSlughorn has never invited me, he doesnât want me there,â he said, not sure if he was supposed to feel dejected because you were his second choice or fucking delighted because youâd want to take him and not Sirius, thought he had to remind himself that you probably did want to take Sirius.Â
Remus didnât stop to think that you would have, had you actually wanted to, easily convinced Sirius to come along. Let alone, would he have imagined that you had asked Sirius if you could take him instead.Â
âThatâs exactly why I want to take youââ you said as you placed his hands around his armâ âI want to show that old snake how freakinâ clever my best friend is. You deserved an invitation much more than I did anyway.â Remus gave you a reproachful look when he heard the last thing. âYouâre coming, yeah? Itâs always fun to prove the snakes how wrong they are with you.âÂ
Sirius smiled. âCome on mate, donât make her beg,â Sirius said, flicking his finger on your thigh and letting them rest closer to the inner side, still at a prudent distance, and while you did feel the shift, you played it cool and tried not to even look. âGirl might end up taking Pete if you reject her,â he teased.Â
You elbowed him softly, not because you didnât want to take Peter, but because he was implying it would be such a terrible choice. Of course, youâd much rather take Remus or even some of your other friends, like Tom or Minho (he was already invited) but that was because you were pretty certain Annie Doxon would hex you if you took her boyfriend. James was going with Lily, so he was completely out of the question.Â
âOkay,â Remus said with a shrug, trying to seem as natural as possible. âIâll come but⌠what about the date though, you know near the end of December itâs theâŚâÂ
âMoonâs on the 22nd, party is on the 21st. I know itâs just a day before and Iâll totally get it if youâre not feeling up for it by then. I wouldnât want to make you into a Pissy Moony.âÂ
He pushed you with his shoulder again, âSod off!â he said jokingly and both you and Sirius started to laugh.

Why the TF2 Defense Trio deserve more recognition
The people have spoken, I have decided to create an essay disguised as a post on this godforsaken website because it's a free country goddammit! (I would have done it either way lmaooo, I have a lot of shit to say about these maniacs) To start this formal essay glorified very serious shitpost, why should you as a tf2 fan care about these 3 men? They're so "boring" and there's not much going on with them. If ya took a second, let's pause with what was being said. YOU MUST BE OUT OF YOUR GODDAMN MIND to think such thoughts, we must shake you out of cuckoo land by giving you an in-depth look into these three so that you understand where I'm coming from. Let's start in order:
Demoman:
After being in the fandom since 2019, there's always one character I always thought wasn't given much anything in the fandom at all. Even taking ships out of the equation, there's barely any fics I've that focus on Tavish Finneagan Degroot specifically that I've seen that isn't a compilation fic (I read a lot of x readers, don't judge me). Believe me, I checked ao3. I went through Demoman's tags and I tried very hard to filter a lot of the crossover and relationship tags, yet there's less of Demoman himself, than there's him just existing as a side character of a story. Which is honestly sad, I honestly think Demo is one of the more kinder mercs compared to a lot of the team. This man made friends with the BLU soldier, despite knowing that they were supposed to be killing each other. Sure, it's unclear whether or not Demo did actually go through with it and it's just a ruse, because the voicelines in WAR! don't have a set timeline. But I do think that Demo would have tried to keep his friendship with BLU soldier. He's very chill. I've never actually seen him get violent against his friends and family, despite being a drunkard. I honestly think he's one of the sweetest people in TF2, he takes good care of his mom and haunted sword lmaoooo. Jokes aside, he seems like a genuinely good man and I barely see anything that suggests he's sadistic. He's a chaotic and loud, but not bad. Not bad at all. The fact he can still do his job well, even after drinking so much that his body created a whole distillery, is even more impressive. He is damn good at what he does and works very hard. He's had multiple jobs, even as wee little lad. Despite what people think of him, the fact he's getting paid 5 million dollars a year, is proof he knows what he's doing. He loves his job and couldn't bear the thought of not working. I feel like his backstory isn't talked about enough in the fandom either. When you think about it, it's kinda fucked up that he was put in an orphanage by his biological parents until he was in the right age to be blowing people up. Not only that, his eye socket was haunted by the Bombinomicon so that every halloween a giant eye would manifest, attacking him and his friends. Even Medic couldn't help him and instead resorting to scooping the part of Demo's brain where he remembered so he would stop asking. He most likely has a lot of stories for you, I see him as the type that has a lot to say. His past is the most fleshed out and complete out of all the mercs, which I really appreciate, you can do a lot more with him. Also another thing, during Unhappy Returns, he took the time to reassure Soldier that he wouldn't think he's a civilian. He didn't brush Soldier's worries aside and instead comforted him. I wish I had a lot more to say about Demo because I am baffled that he isn't being gushed about as a potential partner. He has the excitement and like zero baggage. A thing I also wanna point out is that he seems to be insecure of the fact he's a black scottish man with only one eye during Meet The Demoman. I may be reading into things a bit too much, but it makes me wanna be like "NOOOO don't talk about yourself like that, bro. You're so cute UGHHH" Also also he's handsome. Sure looks can be subjective, but I still think Demo has a face I would kiss hehe. He looks great with his beard and his cheeky ass smile. GOD I could gush about him all day, but I have to move on rip.
Heavy:
Honestly, I'm having a hard time just finding the words to describe this amazing man without giving him the respect he deserves. But I'll sure try. Heavy has had a difficult life and I've always admired how strong he was. Not just of his muscles, but he endured one of the toughest situations and still kept moving forward with his life even though it was traumatizing. You see why I'm even having a hard time talking about him? I can't really get down into the weeds, without getting serious for a min. I feel like the fandom doesn't give him much credit for being able to deal with so much. He's the rock for his family after his father disappeared (atp I think he's dead, which is the cherry on top this depressing sundae) and I wouldn't doubt that he would be the same for his team. He's a man of few words, but that makes him all the more intriguing. Just because this man has a lot of brawn does not mean he's dumb at all. Despite how he acts in the battlefield, Heavy is observant and clever. Although, it's implied that Spy being Scout's dad is an open secret between the mercs and Miss Pauling, the fact he figured it out without saying it directly must mean he has a lot more going on. He's also educated, getting a phD in Russian Literature. It's not a STEM program, but he actually got a doctorate and went to college, that's a lot more than half of what the mercs did lmaooo. Also he has a bit of a softie side, not just for his mom and sisters, but also other creatures as well. I respect him so much for avoiding violence against those dogs during the Showdown comic. Not only shows what an absolute sweetheart he is, but also how much he's able to think quickly on his feet. Heavy is very direct and blunt, I don't see him as the type to lie about his feelings. I appreciate that he doesn't feel the need to sugarcoat anything, he'll get the job done and he ain't playing. There's no fluff, he knows what he wants and that's to rev up Sasha and ram through sons of bitches without any worries.
I feel like I wanna point out, his story seems the most unexplored in the fandom, even though it has a lot of potential for ANGST factor. I already broke down how sad it is, but I just feel like it isn't said enough. Can I just say how cuddly he looks?! GAH, I feel like he would give the warmest hugs! The way he smiled in Unhappy Returns when he finds out his family doesn't need to live in fear anymore, just melts my heart! He's so protective over his family and friends! I wish I had a lot more to say about this guy because I just can't stop finding more things about him that go unappreciated. I had to literally edit this part so many times before moving on, he just has those little details you don't notice until you take a second and have that OH MY GOD moment
Engineer:
I was getting so hyped, when it was finally our resident southern nerd's time to shine. GOD I have so much to say about this man. It's been over 5 fucking years and I have never stopped simping for this man since 2019, I think I'm gonna go insane from how much I've been repressing, I go feral when he's around. Anyways enough stalling. I don't ever think a fictional character has ever made me swoon quite like Engineer, I really mean that. I have ask and pleaded to whatever god was listening to give me a man like Engie. To me, he is everything I ever wanted and more.
First, I wanna talk about what makes him attractive to me. His accent. His southern charm, UGH he's killing me with that smooth voice and chivalry! I swear this man could make me faint just from existing. The way he smiles is so warm, his insults are so corny I love them. That five o clock shadow GAHH! I'm getting butterflies all over again. I swear I love all three of the defense bois, but Dell Conagher has my heart wrapped around his gunslinger metal finger. All those personal reasons aside, I've always thought Dell Conagher was a very interesting character in the world of TF2. He might not have much screen time or goofy shenanigans like the other mercs, but that doesn't mean you can ignore him oh no no no. This man is important within the whole story of Mann Co and TF industries, his grandfather being the catalyst of the game's events and the comics going forward. The Conaghers are the SOLE REASON why Team Fortress 2's story exists. I find it strange that the fandom hasn't done much with this fact because you can do a lot with this idea. Engineer knows a lot of shit and would be the biggest threat to Helen, if not for the fact that his family has been helping her for years.
Like his backstory, he's not seen much in the battlefield, but he has a lot more going on behind the scenes. Imagine the possibilities. He is damn intelligent and he knows it. While Dell is very sweet and has a southern charm, this is a facade to hide his God complex and sadistic tendencies. If you think this man is just your boring gentle engineer, you've got a big storm coming. It's heavily implied that he sawed off his own arm so that he could use the gunslinger. This man works on projects with Medic and doesn't question the moral implications of putting a human brain in a pumpkin. Hell, he threatened his own employer, even if he was an old man (Granted, Blutarch dug up his grandpa's grave, so he probably should have gotten something a lot worse than just Dell telling him to fuck off). Engineer is more than the texan egghead sweetie pie, he is a mercenary for a reason and I would argue that he might be as insane, if not more than, the rest of the team. No sane man would willingly work with a bunch of war criminals if he wasn't also crazy. That's the thing I really like about him. I love playing as him in the game because it represents his character very well. He technically serves a supportive role to the team with his buildings, but he is a killer with a lot of tools in his disposal, With the right amount of training, he can absolutely dominate in the battlefield.
I feel like he's one of the people that underestimate and assume that he's an easy target, but he's a lot more than that. He has a lot of layers that makes me want to learn more about him and what he has to offer.
In Conclusion:
These guys are cool. Lmaooo okay I won't just end it there. I genuinely believe that they're not getting the recognition that they deserve, they've got a lot more going for them if you pay attention. Sure they might not always be the loudest or most prominant character in the story, but what they lack in quantity, they make up for in quality TEN FOLD. They don't have to be your favourite, but you should at least give them a chance. You never know, they may surprise you.
Okay so thats enough of that, I couldn't find a divider above this message, so you're getting this grainy ass gif.

100 Moby-Dick covers ranked by your's truly. Thank you so much to all those of you who sent in contributions and helped make this completely out of proportion project a thing. Jars of angelic spermaceti for everyone! đ¤
As for the ranking, it is purely the result of my own personal taste in aesthetics and heavily influenced by my perception of the story. Add to that a generous amount of sentimentality, as shall be apparent.
What I have been mainly looking at in judging the designs is as follows...
- General appearance; is it attractive? đ
- Does it help sufficiantly communicate the nature of the story (theme, genre, mood, plot)? â°ď¸
- Is it canon? (Meaningful creative licence perfectly allowed!) â
ď¸
As for the tiers themselves, we have...
Topmost Greatness: this is something out of the ordinary, possibly genius and also I neeeeed it for my collection!
A: Good, good stuff, but might lack that very extra special something
B: Gets the job done, agreeable, totally okay.
C: It's not exactly bad and I'll let that oopsie over there slide, but I probably wouldn't pay much for this one.
You Had One Job: Yeah, you did.
Should Never Have Surfaced: Makes the Pequod tragedy look like a merry holiday.
Art thou ready?
TOPMOST GREATNESS
1. The most beautiful Moby-Dick cover I've ever seen. I was almost tempted to create a tier higher than Topmost Greatness only so that I could place it there.
2. Brilliant composition and color choice, despite its simplicity it hits me straight in the soul.
3. I remember drooling over this in the book store back in the day and considered reading it only because it was so gorgeous. Manages to be both crowded and clean at the same time. Story instantly recognizable.
4. The classiest of all time? Forever a winner!
5. I show the image of this one to people to make them understand the creative brilliancy that thrives within the Moby-Dick community.
6. Captures the mood in a fittingly crooked, awkward way that makes my heart beat faster. (Also reminds me of my copy of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest for some reason.)
7. Another sort of awkward one, but I love the style, I love the surreal combination of drama and stiffness, pretty fitting the story itself. Makes 'Hab look a bit like the Grim Reaper.
8. The erratic painting technique gives me the perfect kind of crazy vibes.
9. Moby-Dick, a bibliophile's dream, topmost mood nailing, superior dark academia accessory... what more could anyone wish for in a book?
10. So well thought out and the claustrophobic feel helps to create an unsettling mood despite the otherwise quite cheery colors. Sorry, Madagascar.
11. Look, my two main areas of Moby-Dick interest is Ahab and rhe psychology, so... y'know.
12. Mood certainly set.
13. Guess I have a thing for harpoon/eye symbolism. Again that claustrophobic feel by leaving only a sliver of crowded surface.
14. First physical Moby-Dick copy I ever bought. All the books in this Penguin series are gorgeous, but to me this is one of the design winners regardless of the contents.
15. Unsettled in all this tropical serenity yet?
16. The boldness in color choice and to focus on the fire theme is as unusual as it is exciting, and the very modern touch makes it even more interesting!
A.
17. Not normally a style I'm drawn to, but somehow this manages to capture my interest. A successful nod to the painting at the Spouter Inn, lovely line work. My sibling got me this one as a locket for my last b-day.
18. My beloved companion, by now containing almost as much tape as paper. The 19th century poster design is irresistable to me. A white tail would've been even cooler though.
19. It's not that unique looking, yet the worn feel and harpooned Moby Dick simply gets to me somehow.
20. All the crucial elements skillfully and effectivly forged (no pun intended) together.
21. The way the psychology has been captured and the missing leg detail is yum!
22. Kind of busy but so unique and interesting! Yes plz.
23. Another classic! How could Kent's iconic whale ever fail?
24. Aiming for the adventure theme, it appears, and successfully so. Unusual color choice which I happen to be all about. Total vintage feel!
25. Again, not that much is happening, but the ropes, the character design, the inking... I love you, cover, and I need you in my life!
26. An often used scene, but the style gets to me so, so bad.
27. I'm not that much about the washed out color, but the rest is love.
28. Very basic, but also very nice and display friendly and I enjoy the vibe so much.
29. Almost made it to Topmost, but the positioning of the illustration gives off a cheap feel to me. Why couldn't you have used that gorgeous theme depiction to better advantage? Can one order a remake? Or a cropped poster?
30. Love the composition so much but the technique simply doesn't do it quite enough for me to move up one full notch. Still want it so bad for the collection though.
31. Runny ink on pure white is something I associate with Moby-Dick, don't know why. The blotchiness is a really great touch.
32. The design doesn't say much concerning the content, but nevertheless it is so pretty and am I correct when I say there's harpoon vibes?
33. Had that been a white whale, it would've ended up under Topmost!
34. My first reaction to this was that it's a really interesting piece of art, but I wasn't so sure I liked it as much in book cover form. The more I look at it, the more intrigued and enamoured I get. I want more of this.
35. Ahab and Moby Dick from Ahab's POV? Love the distorted psychedelic atmosphere, but another one with missed full illustration use potential.
B.
36. Brings back the menory of cigarettes and fear. Granny the Gregory Peck fan owned one of these and it freaked me out where she kept it on display ever after I'd been forced to watch the movie at age 6. Now I want one just for the hell of it.
37. Okay, so hear me out. I know it's a children's book, but the illustrator obviously knew the story. Love the tangling rope and that Ahab's prosthetic leg seems made out of whale bone rather than wood for once.
38. Nice modern touch, but that's straight up the New Bedford whaler statue, which kinda ruins it for me.
39. Lovely, lovely design, but I simply don't associate it with a story about suicidal tendencies, gore, and mass death.
40. A somewhat unusual character choice to pose on a cover, but hey, I'll take it! :D
41. Doesn't pop, but I do like me some traditional Japanese art vibes!
42. Elegant, but the huge M obscures the title text and the harpoon looks as if crossed with a sewing needle.
43. Basic, but the feel is there and I like the color combination for this story.
44. Love the art and it's impossible not to identify which story this is, but I have several Ahab design choice questions which won't leave me.
45. This whole thing is odd and busy, but I also really like it!
46. Speaking of Japanese traditional art. The lines and the moodiness is much to my liking.
47. Simple, spot on, nothing that extra.
48. If only he hadn't looked so damn happy about it as if Ahab was about to throw that harpoon like a stick for him to fetch. Untold plot line??
49. There is this whole sub genre of Moby Dick balancing the Pequod, a concept that certainly works, but by now it has to have that little extra something to seem truly special.
50. We have a less erroneous whale, folks! It may be a stock image, but Ishmael gave this one thumbs up, and so how could I possibly do differently? Nicely done!
51. First, I get strong The Old Man and the Sea impressions. Second, what kind of whale do you intend to kill with that thing, my dude? Points for canonical end game beard though.
52. I assume this is meant as a traditional Polynesian art style nod in honor of our dear Queequeg. The sports wear lining texture in the title letters confuses me though.
53. There certainly are plenty of canon here, but also, this is some odd mayhem and where are you aiming, Captain? Yay, ivory leg again!
54. Basic, works perfectly fine.
55. This is a really odd scene choice to pick for a cover, but I love this edition and its illustrations to bits. In fact, I'm planning on posting a review of it soon.
C.
56. I haven't peeked into Melville's mind, but I'm pretty sure the Pequod looked quite different. The story is unmistakable though.
57. Nothing wrong with it, I guess, but way too messy for me to be comfortable with.
58. Not much to say here, but a perfectly nice-looking cover for any book.
59. Gets the job done, but not that inspiring.
60. Despite seemingly little effort behind it, this design based on a 19th century (erroneous) whale drawing could have gone straight up to A. You see, in the original image the (erroneous) whale has his penis (erroneous?) in full view, but on this cover it has been erased. How could I not have given a Moby-Dick book cover depicting dozens of (erroneous) whale dicks A? Alas.
61. Good, professional-looking cover, but judging by the illustration only, I would have guessed this was a children's book about the adventures of a jolly porpoise named Toni.
62. No spoilers to see here or anything. Is that a gold prosthetics??
63. This looks so much like a academic book on psychology. Not too far off, I suppose, but I wouldn't be able to figure out which famous story it is.
64. The Temple toggle harpoon was invented in 1848. Do with this information what you will.
65. Hey! That other cover from before! Have to say that the color alterations and helm sihouette wasn't an improvement.
66. A bit extreme for me.
67. I call this excessive simplicity. If you need a copy of Moby-Dick, you will recognize it at once, but it might not attract new readers merely in itself.
68. Just because it's a children's book doesn't mean the vibe has to be off, but I think it is in this case. Recently posted an example of this illustrator's adorable Ishmael here.
69. Where's the title? Confusing for a cover, but I would love this for a poster of mug! Also, the biggest words are Ahab, Queequeg, and Pequod, which I find mildly insulting towards a certain someone. What was he called again?
70. Cool whale picture which I really like, but the accuracy for Moby-Dick isn't really there.
71. It's blue.
72. I understand the idea and the illustration is awesome, but for me, the vibe is strangely all off and I get almost a comedic feel. Again, that's just me.
73. I often feel like an Ahab apologist and can often be somewhat harsh on the whale, but holy shit! A sort of red herring situation meant to make the reader think Ahab will be the winner?
74. It looks full of action and Scrooge's Ahab cosplay look is really neat, but I have... concerns.
75. I don't remember the scene playing out like this and Ahab is clearly not having it.
YOU HAD ONE JOB
76. The exact face I made the first time I saw this kind of cover.
77. After all the people I've heard at the museum mistaking the sperm whale skeleton for an orca, I'm honestly surprised these fails aren't more common. The snowy setting is a nice touch.
78. Hast seen the white beluga?!
79. First shark Moby-Dick I ever saw and during my first week on Tumblr even. The nostalgia is real, shipmates.
80. Cool scene. Where is it from?
81. Come on! This is a fucking Wordsworth's edition!
82. My sentiments exactly.
83. No, it isn't.
84. At first I seriously thought this was some interesting modern sci-fi/fantasy take on Moby-Dick. Nope.
85. At least the person who did this one bothered to give it a traditional nautical flair.
86. The ocean is canon.
87. *screaming shark mode*
SHOULD NEVER HAVE SURFACED
88. Someone's dad is balancing on top of a fire breathing eel whilst ravens are flying around and a poor guy has dark thoughts in the bottom right corner and... I dunno, man. "Whaling voyage turns fatal obsession" apparently. Moby-Dick the Prequel?
89. Whoa, dude!! I know you're angry, but holy shit!
90. "Captain Ahab? He went that way. Me? Just your average clichĂŠ 18th century pirate. If you don't mind me asking, sir, what sort of creature are you?"
91. By "annotated" they mean the truth about Wild Bill Hickok's one time side gig as a whaler. There's a fan fiction idea for ya.
92. What in the everloving AI fuck is happening here?
93. Friends, your guesses are as good as mine.
94. In the early 2020s, the ghost of Melville Herman set out to find the ghost of Moby Dick.
95. I guess we never learned what Ahab's dad died from back in the 18th century. Runs in the family and all that.
96. ?????????
97. If you download a public domain work to sell on Amazon for a possible extra buck, taking one minute to check the basic plot before slapping a stock image on it for a cover will be an actual long term investment.
98. "Lol! U overbite!"
99. Well, he is clearly a zombie whale, so maybe this is the sequel then?
100. And thus endeth MOBY D CK.

2.6 thoughts!!!!
Spoilers for anyone who hasn't finished it yet!
It was a freaking blast, a rollercoaster of emotions, I honestly thought that Mr Reca, with how cuckoo he was in the trailer, was gonna be the antagonist, turns out he's a quirky memokeeper (who may still have his motives but for now he was definitely an ally) I guess, much like the galaxy rangers, there is no uniform, because I honestly thought they all would have some resemblance to Black Swan, but I can't wait to see more memokeepers, as well as more galaxy rangers
Speaking of galaxy rangers, ok!! Rappa and Boothill were the real protagonists here!!!! Poor trailblazer became a side character to these two champions and I love it!!! I've already made it clear that I adored Rappa from the moment her drip marketing dropped, I initially found her strange way of referring to everything as ninja stuff hilarious and quirky, I thought "are all galaxy rangers gonna talk funny?" But that was my first impression, now I wanna [forking] cry!!! I was already skeptical of this "Master Kucha" from the way he spoke! I didn't know that he was basically like the only parental figure she had, she's one of Dr Primitive's (Evil Ninja Osaru) test subjects in a hidden lab (Ninja capital) having to undergo harmful tests and torture (Ninja trials) this, coupled with the fact that her only source of free time and entertainment has been a ninja manga, she may have developed some sort of mental/ identity disorder, she's been living in a fabricated reality and no one can help her because they don't see the full picture, even her backstory has been distorted by her own retelling making her some sort of unreliable narrator in her own story. Dr Primitive is truly a despicable monster, torturing people and distorting an innocent girl's mind. There's a bright side to this tragedy though! That innocent girl is now our Rappa, and although her mind has been messed with, she still became a righteous galaxy ranger, kindhearted, unmatched skill, hellbent on hunting down the cruel doctor and she definitely lives up to that title too!!! So I'm rooting for her!!! And the moment we got to fight alongside her at the end after hearing "No Dazzle No Break" was gorgeous (can't wait to finish building her so she can continue to show them the way of the ninja!)
Once I finish reading her character story, I'll make a further analysis
Speaking of which, I'm actually gonna make 2!! One for both of our stars of the show, Rappa and Boothill, two people who had to revisit their past, and come to terms with their present and future, living up to the ways of The Hunt! I already deeply respect these two, the more I get of them, the more I can't help but respect them more!!! And I'm definitely excited to get more of them!! Galaxy rangers are the best!!
Boothill's up first because obviously I've already read his backstory so his POV was like an added 5 course meal!!! But I do wanna talk about his best moments (aside from the obvious highlight that blew me away) Firstly, we got more of Boothill the identity stealer (First Pom Pom now March 7th???) Actual Robinhill moments??? (I'm more of a GunsNRoses person now but it's still really cute) The way he was so relieved that he could "fake swear" again instead of the banana cussing was hilarious, Star Rail don't do this to my man, at least give him the "Ninja slang" treatment, let him swear đđ And Boothill owned the dancefloor in the DJ Robin cutscene!!! We have a rapping ninja and a dancing cowboy, could this get any better!!! And obviously, there's the Lore!!!! Which was actually insane !!! I literally wanted to avoid spoilers in order to experience it blindly and it was worth it!!!! I wanted to [fudging] cry, it was so well done!! Andrew Russell and Kendell Byrd knocked it out of the park with their scenes!!! I freaking love Boothill and Rappa so much đđđ they're both life my dude!!!
This is just what I needed!!!
#hsr 2.6#boothill#hsr boothill#boothill honkai star rail#boothill is life my dude#rappa#hsr rappa#rappa honkai star rail#rappa is life my dude#galaxy rangers are life my dude#hsr#honkai star rail#spoilers for 2.6#hsr spoilers

R Trey Clover - Playful Dress Voice Lines
Playful Dress Trey does not have a vignette.
Summon Line:Â This is that mythical amusement park, right? Well then, we need to make sure we let loose a little!
Groooovy!!:Â I bet you're tired from all that walking around. Go ahead and take a rest on a bench. There's still a lot more to enjoy after this.
Home:Â Guess we'll go have some fun, then!
Swap Looks: It'd be great if nothing bad happensâŚ
Home Idle 1:Â I see that Gidel is always smiling. He's a little hard to read, since he never speaks, though.
Home Idle 2:Â Is it that strange that I'm excited to be here? I've visited amusement parks many a time with my siblings, and I've always enjoyed myself.
Home Idle 3:Â If you're looking for Ace, he was lined up for the roller coaster. How many times is that now? Man, he really hasn't grown tired of it, huh.
Home Idle - Login:Â It's fine to want to run around, but don't get carried away and trip, or anything. If you get injured, you won't be able to enjoy this special time, now will you?
Home Tap 1:Â Back in the day, I used to play around while wearing the hat of an amusement park mascot character. It was because my little sister begged me to, not because I wanted to.
Home Tap 2:Â Everything really is free at this amusement park, huh. I keep wanting to pull out my wallet every time I go to order some food.
Home Tap 3:Â There's an attraction where you destroy a house? If it were Rook, I'm sure he'd be overjoyed, saying that "there's beauty in destruction." ...That's not really my thing, though.
Home Tap 4:Â The park clock is chiming... Oh hey, take a look. That's the first time I've ever seen such a delicate cuckoo clock.
Home Tap 5:Â Don't worry, if you get lost, I'll come searching for you. I'm pretty used to looking after my siblings, so I'm sure I'll find you quickly.
Requested by @farfalla049.
