#sometimes i switch some out. switch one out for a fic of the same ship that i wanna work on more than one thats currently open

[xawkward-ariesx]

Constantly keeping nearly a dozen fic docs open at all times in the belief that it'll pressure me into working on them and yet still not working on any of them

Hey could I request a scenario where the reader is Alastor's niece and the vees have a crush and alastor's reaction to finding out as well as the Vees. Honeslty if you have it where he beats up basically goes ha no for Vals part and beats him up I'd love that

Good evening my dear after writing I'm realizing you may have meant for them to be separate categories but I went love square [???]

Warnings!!

Valentino, the Vee's being weird, OOC, Vox being a voyeuristic creep, reader has deer features

You know after aiding your favorite [and only] uncle in murder and falling to hell while your mother and grandma ascended above, having a trio of overlords falling head over heels for you was NOT on your bingo card.

You didn't notice them having a crush on you until Auntie Rosie pointed it out when Velvette had a large shipment of not only clothing mailed to you but with flowers, Vox had sent electronics and more flowers [that Alastor would have such joy destroying] and Valentino had sent you erotica.

Classy.

Velvette would be the most aggressive in getting your attention, she probably also has the biggest chance to win over your affections, shoving people out of the way to talk to you, affectionately calling you things, giving you a new woredrob every other week, flowers, personally inviting you to her fashion shows and giving you VIP seating.

Vox watches you, I imagine you at least have a phone probably not Voxtech though so I imagine it's probably slightly harder to watch you through that, but with drones and other devices he watches, probably calls you something like Doe-eyes or Dollface, he's called you mini Alastor a couple of times which you did NOT APPRECIATE, once he realizes that Alastor keeps destroying the technology he sends you he switches to flowers, with cameras in them, he sometimes teleports through them and is often met with you swinging something at him and breaking his screen, unfortunately for you he's into that.

Valentino, arguably the WORST one to have pinning over you, dude manages to pop out at the worst times offering to make you a star, asking you to warm his bedroom, uncomfortably leaning in and touching you.

You ripped off his antenna.

The three of them bicker over you in private.

Now after you figured out WHY they were sending you shit and giving you special privileges you immediately snitched to Uncle Alastor because you did NOT want to deal with the whole dumpster fire that was the Vees.

Now Alastor wasn't naive about the Vee's... Affections towards you, again they sent you a concerning amount of things, but he didn't do anything because you're an adult and you can make your own decisions.

But when you come to him saying that Valentino sent you erotica and made you uncomfortable?

Well you are his one and only niece! The only family he has down here! The least he can do is squish a little purple moth for you!

You wonder if restraining orders were a thing in hell and if they'd work.

Now the TV guy and fashionista surprisingly were NOT completely thrown off by their buddy's screams getting absolutely blasted on Alastor's radio broadcast, they kept their simping to a more low-key level with only flowers getting shipped to you from Velvette and weird love emails from Vox.

Vox for some reason thinks asking Alastor for your hand in MARRIAGE, was a good idea.

It was NOT.

He's lucky he didn't meet the same fate as Valentino.

Maybe one day you'd choose one of the remaining Vee's or both if you're into that, or maybe neither.

But for now you'd use their infatuation with you to your advantage.

Good evening folks! I hope you enjoyed and I think it's probably obvious at this point that Velvette is my favorite out of the Vee's.

Am I ever going to write a fic where Valentino isn't injured or straight up dead in some way? No, no I'm not.

Anyways as always thank you for tuning in!

DATING KIM HONGJOONG OF ATEEZ PART 1:

⚫️summary; once again, first part to Hongjoong’s section in the new ATEEZ fics or requests I am taking, so REQUEST!!! & STREAM GOLDEN HOUR!! LET’s GOOOOO!! see all my fellow ATINY at the Arlington concert!!🩷🩷🩷

⚠️warnings; fluff, Joongie being Joongie, Ateez idiocies, craziness, some swearing, implied smut, etc. IF YOU’RE NOT 18, GTFO! disrespectfully.

-dating Kim HongJoong is also becoming a mother of 6 & a sister wife to Seonghwa.

-dating HongJoong means late nights where you walk around Han River with snacks from the 24hr convenience stores & chat about your days but also, early mornings for the days off he has & has planned a full day of activities for you two.

-dating HJ is like being his best kept secret but also his most prized possession, he is so protective & loving to you, it’s weird for the boys.

-dating Joong is being at his dorm as much as possible because once he had you? he never wanted to let go, he swore he hated skin-ship but with you? nahhh. that was out the door.

-dating Joongie is like having a boyfriend, husband, best friend & confidant all in one because he is so respectful & sweet but also so serious & dominating that it sometimes scares you how quickly his personality can switch. (but it’s also hot asf because Captain?)

-dating HongJoong is being BumJoong’s bestie & little sister, when HongJoong is off on tour? you best believe BumJoong, momma Kim & anyone from HongJoong’s family is calling you & visiting you to make sure you’re doing well.

-some nicknames he would call you based on his initial vibe/aura & personality seen on camera; Baby, Babydoll, Love, Sweetheart, Darling, Little one (because he finally found someone smaller than him), Beautiful, Dove, etc.

-dating HJ is moving fast but it feeling right? like a month in & he’s flying you out to Seoul to visit him or coming to visit you (if his schedule permits because baby boy is BUSY).

-being HongJoong’s girlfriend means also being his true right hand, the person he wants to learn about everyday, the girl of his dreams, the one who he asks for advice all the time but ultimately protects with his life & the best part of all, the person who sees his true self & softest parts of him & his personality.

-dating Joongie is meeting his family early on & going on vacations with them but also becoming so close with his mom he just sits & pouts that you’re stealing her from him & Eomma Kim is stealing you from him too.

-you & Eomma Kim cooking for the fam & her loving you so much because you remind her of a young version of herself (be that you’re foreign or not, she find attributes about you so calming & similar to hers).

-dating HongJoong is a blessing & curse st the same time, let’s be real this man is a Scorpio, he is DEMANDING. but, also the sweetest & most sensitive & emotionally open person you know, he truly understands the beauty of the world, of people & is driven by passion so, if you are similar to him? he would be most grateful because he would feel so understood & like he could truly open up to you.

-dating HJ means truly learning the deepest parts of his soul, his drive, his motivation, his passion & the reasons behind all of them. him showing you & teaching you the way he sees the world through his eyes & loving that you understand & see it the same way.

-soft launching on your IG & the ATEEZ acc because you’re also a musician/artist/producer/singer (whatever) & you do a challenge with him & some other members.

-being his girlfriend would mean also being the group’s baby sister, each member loving you for a different reason & you often hang out with them but, yes your boyfriend/future husband gets jealous so he steals you away & keeps you to himself. (we all know this man is jealous, be for fucking real).

-“Ya! Jagi, why are you with Wooyoung & not me? Am I not enough for you? Wooyoungie, go away, she’s mine.” & so he does, San is already waiting for Woo in the living room of HongJoong’s dorm so you both can have alone time in his room.

-“Don’t worry, we don’t love Y/n at allll. It’s not like she’s OUR friend too.” Woo yells back as he walks off to steal Joong’s snacks he has “hidden”.

-you laughing the whole way Joong drags you to his room.

-Joong being a complete baby & softie with you despite the persona/front he puts on for the cameras.

-ATINY loving that they get to see this side through small snippets & stories on your IG/YouTube/Twitter/TikTok, etc.

-posting pics together & also him posting pics he’s taken of you on his camera/polaroid.

-being his muse, he literally has made 10’s of playlists & is working on songs that include things about you that only the members, him & you truly understand & know the meaning behind.

-being his all time biggest supporter, he DID meet you wearing a MATZ t-shirt so, it got him flustered & thinking about how you could he so calm while seeing him in person.

-yes you were ATINY before you dated, like dude, come on. who couldn’t love these 8 idiots.

-playfully arguing with Mingi over how you can’t choose between their rap styles because they’re so different & both so good.

-movie nights with the members where you & Joong end up sneaking off to be alone & they start hounding you both about not being able to keep it in your pants.

-he’s a passionate lover, so hidden marks, body to body, eye contact, multiple positions, etc. are for SURE his go to.

-he loves to be in control but whenever you do try to take control? it only riles him up more & has you walking funny for a few days after.

-your personality & aura is made up of leadership energy, dominance, bluntness, strength, etc. but, the real you is a soft & loving person, he is definitely the type to like someone like him, who looks so dark & scary on the outside but is truly just so intelligent, caring & creative as he is.

-dating Kim Hong Joong is like breathing underwater in a dream & no longer fearing anything, it’s like giving into your deepest & darkest desires & fighting no matter how hard the fight is. It’s like being worshipped & worshipping at the same time, it’s a push & pull of who loves who more but ultimately it’s so equal because you BOTH are so equal, it’s insane. It’s air in lungs that haven’t been able to take a full, clean & crisp breath in the longest time. It’s feeling so high & happy like you’re on cloud 9 24/7, 365.4 days a year & more.

-being his person, his lover, his best friend & future wife? is a dream written in the stars but only time could bring you closer. it’s poetry, passion & pain all in one but truly, a love so deep & understanding you could never consider it vain.

HAPPY 1-YEAR OF DRAWING ANNIVERSARY TO ME!

(Warning: slightly longer post incoming cause sometimes I gotta be a sentimental bitch ok? So let's go on a little trip down memory lane.)

This day, a year ago, I made my very first fanart. It was dnf (if that surprises you, then welcome to being on my blog for the very first time). I drew a little frog face too so I could use it as a watermark (fun fact: I still use that very same first one).

I immediately put my drawing up on twt because I told myself that I wasn't gonna be afraid of having people see that I was at the very beginning of this journey and had no clue what I was doing. That instead of being bad at art, I was gonna be awesome at being a beginner who doesn't know shit.

I started with little doodles and silly comics and then I laughed way too long when the first drawing of mine that gained some attention was a dnf butt joke. At the time I was trying to balance shipping and non-shipping art so I didn't even draw dnf that much but in hindsight it's probably the only possible way this could have gone.

At the very end of August I woke up to @honelle56 caps-locking at me in my messages - I was very confused and tired (I am no morning person and I will never be, fuck off with your mornings) because Dranart liked my drawing of singing Dream. Dranart was my 17th follower on twt which is a useless yet extremely funny fact about my time on that hellsite.

I also drew human!patches because a) patches was and will always be my favorite dteam member and b) it was a really cute trend and while I do love drawing dream, george and sapnap, I was also quite happy to try drawing anything but a white man for once. And I really liked how the drawing turned out.

Much, much later, I tried to draw my first slightly more realistic looking drawing. I was extremely confused on how to draw anything like this. Especially their hair gave me tons of trouble but given my experience, I think it's not a bad attempt.

When hijacked smp started I obviously wanted to participate, and I drew c!blu who doesn't associate with any side in particular but instead serves soup to everyone who visits her tavern 'The Soup House'. She also wants to be paid in stories from all around the map.

One of the events I was most excited about was dnf week. I even collaborated with two talented writers and I drew the corresponding art for two fics.

(Fun or not so fun fact: when twt had like three hundred collaborative aneurysms about the situation at that moment, that was when I created this tumblr account. I didn't use it super actively (I guess I needed another situation to fully make the switch) but I at least started the account that now developed quite a bit since then.)

I didn't really draw at all through January and February and I actually kinda thought I would move on from that hobby and fandom (not because of negative feelings, just because I didn't really have the urge to create anything within this fandom) and then situations happened and now I am here; and for some reason that is beyond any logic and my understanding I am now even more insane about dteam.

Wild to me but we are rolling with it now, I guess.

Since I got here, I drew more than ever (I actually think I might have made more drawings in the month since I got here than I made the whole rest of the year). There's just such an active and funny community here that cares about fan works for the sake of creating and not just because a CC might see it.

Unfortunately, Tumblr won't let me add more than 10 images in one post (maybe fortunately for everyone who has this monstrosity of a post on their dash). So if you want to see all the progress I made since I got here, you can look at everything in my art tag. For now, I will close this post with one of the art works from the past month that I like the most:

Can't wait to see what the next year might bring :)

Love, blu

[allastoredeer]

No hate, just asking.

So you just personally like bottomAlastor and make every ship with him as bottom because of your personal likes. But this works the same way with bottomLucifer. People liking it and making him bottom in any ship. Or liking topAlastor and making him top in every ship. Maybe there are people who just go with trends in ship dynamics, but a lot of shippers just like it without any 'making mlm into hetero' meaning. Yes even when making Lucifer a bit more feminine since they do it in every ship simply cause more feminine Lucifer does things to them.

Exactly 👉👉 people like what they like and they don't need to defend or give me a list of reasons why they like it. I figured people liked bottom!Lucifer or top!Alastor because it scratches that itch for them (much like me with bottom!Alastor), otherwise they wouldn't be writing/drawing it at all.

It's why I don't seek out fans I disagree with or lurk on their pages/blogs to bombard them with reasons why I, personally, don't like how they depict radioapple (and because that's just a shitty thing to do in general, and no should be doing that. That's a one-way ticket to turning fandom into a very toxic place).

I keep my opinions and thoughts to my blog page for that reason. This is place where I can write about the things I like and dislike, post my art and fics, and interact with fans who share the same thoughts and feelings as I do. I'm sure a lot of fans would disagree, but, to me, most of the depictions of radioapple that I've seen come off as incredibly hetero coded, and a lot of the way Alastor is drawn/written squicks me out, especially when he tops. And that's not in the way that he's overly sexualized or anything, imma gonna sexualize that man to my heart's content, but Alastor's ace identity means a lot to me, and a lot of the time I just...don't feel it with him.

Now there's no "correct" way to write an ace character, as its a spectrum. There isn't a checklist of things you HAVE to follow. But with Alastor, especially when it's in a written work - especially when it's HIS pov - he doesn't feel ace. You can't tell that someone is ace based on how they talk or act - not usually - just like you can't assume a man is gay based on how he runs or talks, or a woman a lesbian because she has a short haircut. But in his POV, we're supposed to be in his head, we're seeing his thoughts and emotions. It's the perfect time to explore what he feels and thinks about relationships, sex, and everything in between, and yet most of the time he reads like any other non-ace character. It's like there's no real thought or consideration given to his identity and the experiences that come with it. Asexuality is more than "don't like sex" or "only like sex sometimes," there's so much more to it than that.

But I also know that this may be the first time some people are interacting or playing with an ace character, and just the fact that they're trying - however unintentionally aphobic it comes off sometimes - the effort is appreciated.

It's a real back and forth thing for me, obviously, LOL fandom culture and spaces can be so frustrating but so fascinating at the same time.

I don't think anyone is intentionally making the ship hetero, nor do they mean to - and besides, this is how I feel, and I know everyone isn't going to feel the exact same way. I'm sure there are people who see it as a very queer relationship, and I'm not going to judge or fight them over it. Everyone has different perspective, after all.

At the end of the day, I don't mind bottom!Lucifer (I see him as a switch, so he definitely enjoys bottoming), I just don't like how he's written/drawn with top!Alastor. It's the depiction of it that turns me off. I've seen top!Alastor and bottom!Lucifer art before that I have liked, but its few and far between, and overall not worth diving into to root out the few pieces I've enjoyed.

I like feminine Lucifer, but not to the extent that I've seen. I like the masculine side of him too, especially because he's a shortie. I like masculine Alastor, but I adore his feminine side. Alastor exudes so much gender, it's insane. He pulls off masculine, feminine, and even non-binary so well. He's versatile ❤️ And it aggravates me when he's depicted as super masculine and all the other stuff is toned down, if not stripped away.

But, like I said, that's why I stay in my little corner and I focus on what I enjoy. Ranting about things you don't like in fandom isn't bad, especially with fans that agree with you. It's very cathartic actually, and I've felt more connected with the fandom than I have since the show aired. it's only when you make your emotions, thoughts, and opinions other people's problems that it becomes a negative thing.

I'm not here to rain on people's parades, so I support, encourage even, that those who do like the things I dislike (and don't enjoy seeing me clown on them) block me. No hard feelings from me. I get it.

Damn, these posts really run away from me. They get so much longer than I intend XD

But anyway, I'm glad people are having fun with super feminine bottom!Lucifer and super masculine top!Alastor, that's the whole point of fandom, but it just isn't for me, at all, and I will likely continue to rant/clown on it with the fans who also share my opinion. I'm not going to shove it anyone's face of course, I'm keeping it to my blog, and I am A-okay with being blocked if that's not something people want to see 😊

[isca-rambles]

chenford prompts/ideas

I hope it's okay to just throw prompts out like this. I'm still very new to this fandom but very invested in Chenford (being caught up with a show is the worst, why do I fall in love with these types of ships until I know how it ends?), so much so I dusted out an old tumblr account and posted a ramble on ao3. I'm down bad for these clueless fictional idiots. * What if Armstrong didn't take Caleb's deal in 2x11? As in, he arrests Caleb instead of going with him. It wouldn't change them finding Lucy, I don't think, but could give some very nice (and by that I mean angsty af) interactions between Caleb and the others. Namely Tim, of course. * Tim is the one who goes to the prison with Nolan, so he's the one who goes with Nolan to the house to confront Caleb. Does Caleb still die in the same way? Does he live? Does Tim have to sit and watch the video feed for those agonising seconds while he waits for the rest of the team to touch down, after realising Lucy isn't in the barrel in the house? * What if Tim didn't give Lucy the 'Bradford special' back in 1x09, and she still gets shot? Any excuse for feral/protective Tim, especially since he'd be even more feral after Isabel's shooting. * What if, to help Jackson, Lucy offers to switch places and become's Stanton's rookie for that last month. What's the worst that could happen? * Lucy is exposed in 1x20 instead of Tim. * Lucy has serious thoughts about breaking the door down in 1x20 when Tim is attacked * Both Tim and Lucy are exposed in 1x20 and have to quarantine together * Not so much Chenford, though obviously Chenford, but just people supporting Lucy after Jackson's death. Give Lucy all the hugs please. * One of those 5 times fics but revolving around Lucy's moonstone ring. * Lucy gets greenlit instead of Nolan * Tim helping Lucy to wash her hair after she'd been injured in some way. Not sexual, not necessarily platonic, just helping. Either as friends or established lovers, post break-up or pre. Even a fully clothed over the basin 'don't expect me to dry it too, Boot' because he felt guilty. I just love a good bit of non-sexual TLC sometimes. * Honestly, same as above but with Jackson. So definitely platonic but just something sweet and soft. Lucy needs TLC, okay? I have feelings about this. * Overprotective (not necessarily 'I have feelings for her' but, ya know, we love a clueless Tim) Tim looking out for Lucy (in that weird way of his) with some of the more asshole officers/civilians they meet through her training/time as P2. Especially if she pisses off an asshole cop (akin to Stanton. If not Stanton. We hate Stanton) for some mundane reason, and Tim has to have her back when it escalates. * Lucy accidentally pisses off a very high ranking criminal. Cue everyone protecting Lucy even though she doesn't need protecting. * Tim and Lucy chat after the Stanton confrontation. * Lucy's ill or mildly injured but pushes through/stays in work. Tim keeps pushing her and she makes a mistake and/or gets hurt. Angela, Bishop, Harper, or Grey talk with him, and make him realise he has to know when to stop pushing sometimes. * Lucy's had a particularly bad day with some shitty criminals/civilians/officers. Tim thinks he gets it but he can't, not really, so his brand of tough love isn't working as he wants it to. Lopez/Harper/Bishop and/or even Lucy try to get him to understand he'll never understand what it's like to be a woman (and one of colour) on patrol. * Lopez/Harper/Bishop etc take Lucy out after said bad day. Tim can be there with Nolan if he wants. Jackson too. Jackson gets it more but everyone needs to hear how difficult it can be. Mainly ladies supporting ladies. * And if anyone wants to take a proper shot at the long-form disjointed ramble fic I did, or take ideas from it, please do. Basically post-break up, Lucy's in a bad place and Tim goes to comfort her and I have a lot of feelings about Jackson being gone and Lucy not having the support network she should with Tim and Tamara leaving her - ao3 ramble here

That should be it for now, at least while I keep working through episodes properly (also, ugh, watching these early episodes with Nolan/Lucy stuff is just...ick after binging all the Chenford stuff first ^_^). Thank you to anyone who takes these, you're a very talented fandom with some gorgeous writers! I'm working my way through Chenford fics on ao3, but if any of these have been done before please spread the love and share some links/reccs <3

[mysticwolfshadows]

Of all the ships I have in my WIPs folder, none has a stranglehold on the gigabytes like Merthur. So many WIPs.

A fair portion of them are Royal!Merlin fics. Most fics that I've read either have Arthur and Merlin switch roles, or have them both be royals and doing the whole enemies to lovers or aranged marriage tropes. No, the Royal!Merlin WIPs I have were HIDDEN royal.

The basics were all the same. Balinor is a king, and because of the threat from Camelot, keeps Merlin hidden from any kind of public eye. Citizens don't immediately recognize Merlin as the crown prince, and most knights, unless serving directly under Balinor, don't know Merlin is prince unless presented with Merlin's seal. So no one in Camelot (Uther, Arthur, even Gaius) have no idea Merlin is royalty.

How Merlin ends up in Camelot was always a toss up. Sometimes, Hunith and Balinor were separated due to Hunith's discomfort in court. Merlin would either go visit her, being encouraged to take the months he had free to adventure, or lied to say he was going to visit his mother. In these, Merlin's true identity is usually revealed when they go to stop Kanan.

There's a few were Merlin sneaks out, leaving someone (usually Will) with potions to make them look like Merlin and act in his place. One of these had ended in a battle confrontation, where Camelot and Balinors kingdom go to war, Arthur not aware that Balinor things Arthur has kidnapped Merlin. The outline ended with Merlin holding Arthur back from a one on one duel to decide the war, and walking out himself, asking if any dare to face him.

There's some where, after decades of war, Arthur becomes king and offers Balinor a treaty. A couple of these over lapped with Merlin having snuck out when Balinor isn't looking. A few had Arthur reaching out to Balinor, asking for someone to come to Camelot to discuss magic to change Camelot's law, only for Balinor (thinking Merlin is either in the capital or at his mothers) to send Merlin. These had Kilgarah with Balinor rather than under Camelot, so Balinor knew that Arthur and Merlin were meant to change the world.

I think my favorite WIP was where Camelot and Balinor had a peace treaty and Balinor sent Merlin to Camelot on purpose, with Merlin's personal knight, Gwaine. Because of an accident, everyone (Arthur, Uther, all of Canelot) thinks that Gwaine is the prince, and Merlin is his servant. Merlin, having been under preasure to be the best prince, greedily takes the opportunity to relax and gets "permission" from Gwaine to become Gaius apprentice. The last scene I had planned out had been for Balinor to come to Camelot, only to nearly loose it when he realized Gwaine had been pretending to be prince (even though it made a lot of letters from Uther about tavern brawls make more sense), and that Uther had NO IDEA where the real prince was.

I'm a switch/verse shipper but I do notice how some verse shippers have been using verse as a moral high ground. For me, in the anime community, it's been used as an anti-fujo or anti-seme/uke rhetoric. But tagging is a different case. It depends on the fandom culture and I never expected the majority of the English-speaking sites like Ao3 to tag T/B, tbh. I wish, but I'm not so uppity about it.

I agree, though. I'm a verse shipper but even I know there tend to be leanings (to verse shippers it's more a spectrum instead of a rigid binary option). Just that most verse shippers don't mind moving the scale. There are, but not many, who actively switch the ships and try out different dynamics. They are usually smut or PWP writers but generally people write stories with plot and have only one or a few sex scenes nestled in between.

The seme/uke hate is ironic since some people will still use the classic domtop-subbottom dynamic, they will just argue that character A is not a subbottom like "what most people HC", but character B instead, followed by saying how it's better and progressive (esp if the alleged status quo of the "bottom" was a character with shorter, smaller, or feminine features). The whole, "I'm different and better" attitude irks me. You like a dynamic, so what? No one's interpretation is better than the other. We're all fans of the same characters.

Ao3 is dominated by short and smutty fics, so I get the frustration. I also wish people would tag better but it depends on the general understanding of T/B in your fandom.

I always tag my T/B but I've uploaded a PWP with no tag because it has no anal. Since I majorly write MLM, I BARELY tag who's the dom and who's the sub unless it's for peculiar dynamics like "power bottom [A]", "bratty bottom [B]" or "stone top [C]" and even then, it's only for very obvious D/S and I don't really write BDSM.

I know my leanings, I know my preferences, but I still think my readers will have to understand how I characterize them by reading the story themselves. Because a character has lots of nuance. A character who I often write as a bottom might act more dominant and jagged, very masculine sometimes, but I'm not against feminine or submissive bottoms and I have ships with both character types. Most characters in my ships have both feminine and masculine traits, a lot are GNC or enby-coded to me, and they have various roles and traits that makes it hard to box them into two or four categories. It all depends on my relationship with canon.

I usually use canon proof, like their backstory or confirmed character trait by the creator, to write but I have a ship where I reject canon because the writing sucked and I prefer how other fan authors wrote it. Fan to canon relationships are very determental.

I know Bucky and though I've never encountered that side of the fandom (maybe because I don't ship stucky), I can imagine what you are experiencing. I know he is really pretty and pretty characters tend to bottom more. Steve is also handsome but I know people tend to profile through facial features first before diving into personality. Next, most people love to woobify a difficult and traumatized character. Some woobification turns to feminization even though there is no canon proof Bucky has a feminine side, at least not as far as I know (I'm not deep into Marvel). There's also the fact that a lot of people project their own IRL experience and personal preference in their ships. Maybe they relate to Bucky and want to imagine themselves as Bucky getting rammed by Steve and basing Bucky's personality from themselves. No harm in that, I too use my irl experiences as fic reference almost all the time, I just have to know when to separate myself from the character.

I'm not surprised if some people don't realize or won't admit they are writing OOC!Bucky or Fanon!Bucky because there are so many who are used to fanon interpretation or even rejected some canon interpretations.

Between getting fed canon content once or twice every few months vs reading 3-5 stucky fics every day almost 24hrs, do you think some people won't get used to fanon versions more? It's usually this case.

I personally like Canon!Bucky just fine so I obviously only want to read Bucky with that flavor but lately I haven't been reading much. So if I encounter a fic that's slightly different, I'll get so bamboozled and my brain will be like, "since when??" even though that fic has been there for a few years.

If there are more stucky fics you don't like, I suggest writing for yourself instead of asking other fans to change, unless they want to.

I recently found yours Hels to Pay AU and I love it so much that I'm going to rant about things that I find really neat in no particular order

Helsmits names:

Dr. Clear - MumboJumbo. It took me a while to get it but wow it makes sense seeing as the phrase "mumbo-jumbo" means nonsense and clear is the opposite of that. Also funny considering the coherentness of each one

BadTimesWithScar - GoodTimesWithScar. Classic

AnimosityGaming/Timmy - SolidarityGaming/Jimmy. Wonderful. Animosity and Solidarity are opposites as well so that's cool

bXMiner - XbCrafted. It's the two halves of MineCraft. Also reverses the letters of his name

Bravo - Tango. Derived off the phonetic alphabet I would assume

Dbubs - Bdubs. Reverses the letters of his name

Patho(s? I'm not sure) Lair - Etho's Lab. Ethos and Pathos are Greek words meaning character and emotions respectively. Lair and Lab are similar to each other. And they have similar nickames taken from misreading their names (Etho Slab and Patho Stair). Genuinely my favourite name of yours.

You have other helsmits but I can’t think of more words for them so moving on

Dr. Clear is Alister's spy. He told Bravo about Tango indirectly just before they opened the portal, and also managed to get Atlas to slap him in front of Bravo. He's also incoherent enough (faking?) that Atlas wouldn't consider it

Dbubs pathologic lying? How sometimes he doesn't even realise it? How when he did and said something he didn't mean (I hate your stupid face) he felt bad?

Pathos feeling at home in the crimson jungle. Feeling absolutely horrible for ignoring Dbubs whispers whenever he leaves.

Pathbubs is my new favourite ship but god they're about as healthy as that Panera Lemonade

I'm not saying Tango's theory about confusing the universe is wrong, but where was Tango's Portal meant to go if that was the case? It was an actual Universe Portal, so it's not like someone figured out how to make one and then left it there. I think the Universe made the id display to Bravo as Hermitcraft so he would enter it, because Hels just sounds like a bad place. In my head this means the Universe looked at Tango and Bravo and said, "my bad, you need to switch places"

Now that Tango and Jimmy are in Hels, once the Portal is broken, they will be unable to escape back to Double Life by themselves, as their coordinates will still send them to Hels. They will need to meet up with someone else's doppelganger to get back to Double Life.

Thank you for writing an amazing AU

thank you, i’m glad u like my hels names! it’s something i always spend a lot of time thinking abt, deciding where i wanna pull the name from, whether it’s an opposite thing, helsification, name scramble, or some other significance. clear’s full name is actually clear cut, which is even more of a contrast to mumbo jumbo, and it is technically pathoslair but he goes by patho the same way ethoslab goes by etho, dropping the ‘s’.

ah, pathbubs… i love them sm… man i really need to write more of them sometime 😂 absolutely unhealthy but DAMN they compel me…

as for your questions about the universe portals… i’ll just say that no player has figured out the real explanation for the swap yet. they’re working off what they know and certain assumptions they’ve made; in tango’s case, the assumption that he’s an evil creature who would never have purposefully been brought to hermitcraft. in bravo’s case, the assumption that tango’s mere existence resulted in a massive mistake (even tho plenty of other players have joined hermitcraft without being swapped with their hels counterparts…). they’re silly gooses <3

anyway thanks so much for sharing ur thoughts, i LOVE to hear what y’all are thinking and theorizing about with regards to the fic. it’s like enrichment for me.

Profile Tag Game 💕

Hello - Lol hi I'm Ginny and this is a fun something I was about to do on my previous blog, and I remembered it! So I decided to still do it here. It's a random self introduction based on genshin impact character profiles! Maybe even a better fit for me to do it on this new account.

Chat: Tickling - I may have said this before, but I am a very bad tickler. In fact, I can barely remember tickling anyone properly so far in my life. I've done some quick pokes and scribbles, but I just can't go much further than that. Everything I wrote in my fics and hcs is just pure creativity and imagination. Not experience.

When It Rains - I get all cozy when I'm indoors and it's raining, like right now! But when I have to go out, it can make me frown and whine a lot.

When It Snows - I hope I don't fall down... I've got quite a number of experiences already, of slipping and falling in the snow.

Good Night - It's almost 1 AM. I should probably go to sleep. Ah, I'm too wide awake at night these days. And too tired during mornings hahaha.

About Me: Language - I speak Dutch, English, and Japanese and in all languages I sometimes struggle with formality levels at work. Especially when Japanese people call me by my first name without 'san', I am like..!!!! It's always a challenge to find the perfect balance of not being too impolite, and not being too formal and distant. I get the feeling I worry more about language and formality aspects than others.

Something to Share: Subscriptions - I've actually got way too many subscriptions running - Cinema, Spotify, Netflix, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, Disney+, Nintendo Switch Online, and Just Dance+. I kinda pay too much for things I don't always need, but I do need them a little and can't get myself to cancel any, even when they shamelessly increase their prices. Does it make me a money disaster? Hm.

My Hobbies: Journaling - My friends and I all have bullet journals and working on those while chatting and listening to some music is one of the most calming and satisfying things in life for me.

My Troubles - Needing a new laptop so I can play games like The Sims and Honkai Star Rail, but my current laptop isn't so old yet. Also, the Taylor Swift store doesn't ship to the Netherlands, I cry.

Favorite Food - Sushi, bibimbab, spaghetti with meatballs.

Least Favorite Food - Cheese.

About @ticklygiggles - On June 16, 2016, Mia sent me a message on Tumblr, starting a conversation. I messaged her back, and from that moment on we just... talked daily, grew closer and closer, watched anime together, wrote fics together, called and sent voice messages, and last month for the first time we FINALLY were able to play genshin together (Mia made a new acc because we weren't on the same server, huhu dedication girl). We did the Heart Island thing in Mia's world.

About @ragewerthers - We talked about it recently but our friendship started so smoothly and sudden. I was reminded it was because of Ragewerthers getting randomly shadowbanned on Tumblr, as well as our mutual interest in the soccer anime Days, Final Fantasy XV and Minecraft.

Tagging some fellow genshin fans @ticklygiggles @wertzunge @lovelynim @shy-lee-chu @eliankrios @xsezzie @kusuguricafe @fuckparty and ofc anyone else who would like to do it:) Feel free to add more / use other lines or do literal voice-overs! I'll stick to just text hehe.

Writer Interview

Playing some catch up on tags. Tagged by the wonderful @pursuitseternal, @marlowethebard, @nyx-knox, @honeybee-bard, @snowfolly,

and @paganwitchisis holy shit thank you all!!

Not sure who all in my circles has done this already, but gonna tag @wilteddreamsofbaldursgate, @astarionancuntnin, @pinkberrytea, @locallegume, @thedreamlessnights,

@ladymdc, and @carooosa if you see this and would like to do it! No worries if not!

When did you start writing?

Around 13/14 years old, doing warrior cats roleplay on proboards forums. Roleplay isn't really my speed anymore, but it eventually bridged me into more traditional narrative writing and then fanfic later. Fallout 4 was the first fandom I really wrote fanfic for.

Are there different themes or genres you enjoy reading than what you write?

I really love intricate long-running plots with slow-burn pay off, and used to write more in that vein, but got pretty burnt out on it. It felt like it would take so long to get to those big moments I pictured the whole time, by the time I arrived to them, they felt played out in my head. Trying to strike a happy medium now by writing (relatively) shorter and more focused fic/storylines that still pack a punch, but maybe have fewer branches.

Otherwise my genre/theme preferences are generally the same with writing vs. reading and are pretty broad.

Is there a writer you want to emulate or get compared to often?

Not a writer, but I've been told at various times there is a poetical element in a lot of my writing, even in just the sentence structure or how I tend to pace my prose. That makes a lot of sense to me, since I wrote a lot of poetry before getting into writing a lot of prose.

Can you tell me a bit about your writing space?

I used too many tricks on my brain to jump start creativity (yummy beverage, cozy blanket, favorite candle when writing) and now my brain often demands all of these things be in place to do any writing 😬I can sometimes get away without all of them. Usually, I'm writing in my office, which is a pretty blue color with some gold picture frames and often a soothing space. But, I do work from home in there at times, too, and on workdays I can't make myself do creative things in the same spot I sat in working all day. Then, I'll be at my dining table or sitting on my couch, usually with headphones because I have a hard time concentrating with other noise around me.

What’s your most effective way to muster up a muse?

Self care. I mean, making sure I've got sleep/food/hygiene etc. squared away where they should be, even if it means taking a break from the page. Most of the time when I'm trying hard to write and it's just not jiving, it's because I've neglected one of those things, and the words always come easier once I've addressed them.

Playing the game again. Listening to character music. Chatting with friends who love the character, too.

Are there any recurring themes in your writing? Do they surprise you?

Yes! A lot of them became apparent to me only after switching fandoms and realizing I was writing about a lot of similar themes. Grief is a big one. Characters who've experienced both a lack of love and a loss of it. Characters who fall in love again or in spite of that loss. The main ships I've written for all feature characters who either loved someone else first or, in Astarion's case, have gone through the forced motions of romance.

Battle couples is another big one. Bisexual battle couples. 🥰

What is your reason for writing?

It's always felt like something I needed to do to feel whole. Not necessarily the sharing the writing or posting it part, or getting a reaction about it, but doing it at all, even just a little. Even if it's just for me. I feel more me when writing is at least a small part of my life. More free. It's my creative outlet.

Is there any specific comment or type of comment you find particularly motivating?

I adore any comment. I'm borrowing this from someone else's interview post, but I too am a slut for praise. In all honesty though, just knowing I'm not writing into some void or vacuum can be so powerful. Even just a heart emoji comment makes my spirits soar.

The ones that go full red string and corkboard about the plot or characters, or quote what parts stick out to them always stick with me. It lets me know I'm hitting the mark with what I'm trying to convey.

How do you want to be thought about by your readers?

I want them to know I'm still good for it even if it takes me a long time.💜That's the biggest thing to me right now. I'm not able to pour it out so quickly as others can. But I hope they know it'll be a good time when I do eventually post.

And also that I'm just some lady. I'm just another human bean. Wanting to share and enjoy stories with other human beans, and connect with a sense of community through those stories.

What do you feel is your greatest strength as a writer?

Visceral/punchy action scenes, vivid descriptions, setting tone, and portraying character personalities.

How do you feel about your own writing?

My feelings about it change with the tides. Right now, I'm a bit glum, and I think that's because I haven't had much to share or post lately, even though I've been doing lots of writing that isn't ready to be shared yet. On the other hand, I'm having the most fun with it that I've had in a very long time, and that element feels great.

I'm grateful for what I've done, incredibly blessed to have made friends and found community through writing, and ever-striving to find the happy medium of productivity and creativity.

When you write, are you influenced by what others enjoy might enjoy reading, or do you write purely for yourself, or a mix of both?

It's mostly what I'd like hehe. And I'm happy about that. I am often inspired to try things based on what I see in fandom, but if I don't enjoy it, too, I won't pursue it further.

[f-yeah-weskerxchris]

New f-yeah-weskerxchris blog!

I've noticed that the current f-yeah-weskerxchris blog has been inactive for four years, so I've decided to make a new one myself. This is mainly to not let old artwork and other fan content get lost to time and reblog some sort-of hard to find stuff. Queued reblogs will start tomorrow!

List of things I will do on this blog under the cut!⬇️

Reblogs

I will queue 6 reblogs a day every two hours between 8AM to 8PM EEST or UTC +2/3 (Depends if we're on summer or winter time) These will be somewhat oldish posts usually.

Of course I'll then reblog things I come across or remember that day.

I will tag posts with fanart, fanfic or other fan content and the original posters username (as well as content warnings of course!) Also, if there is a ship that is not chrisker in the same post I'll tag it aswell (But I will not tag chrisker as that is the entire point of the blog) And I'll tag any character that isn't Chris or Wesker.

Lastly, everyone has their preferences, so I'll try my best to reblog (and discover) content I usually wouldn't :D

Asks

You can ask me anything regarding chrisker! Be it a scene you can't find/remember what game it was in, fic suggestions (Though please do somewhat specify the kind of fics you're looking for) or artwork you can't seem to find!

(Also you can ask about the blog, of course)

Artist shout-out of the Week

Every sunday I will post a link to an artist that is on other platforms than Tumblr! (Mostly DeviantArt and Pixiv) While Pixiv reguires an account to view nsfw art, it doesn't push it in your face like way too many websites nowadays! (Can't remember about DeviantArt in that matter though)

I have around 50 of these artists on other platforms, so this will last about a year! After that I'm planning to do a writer shout-out of the week, but we'll see about that later :)

Translations

A lot of the Artist shout-outs will be on Pixiv, which is an Asian website. Of course google lens does an okay job of translating fanart, but it can be hard to understand sometimes. So, I'm willing to accept translations request through asks :D I have some very basic knowledge of Japanese and access to use more reliable translators so I'm happily willing to do the work for you :)

What to do when requesting translations:

Don't put pictures of the fanart you want translated in the ask. I do not want to reupload fanart to Tumblr and will not answer these asks.

Instead: put a link to the fanart. I will type out the translation. While this requires to switch between tabs or two monitors, I will not be reuploading old artwork (Even with credit and links

Lastly

Just have fun. This is entirely to help people discover fanart easier :)

[pyrrhicraven]

I love your TMNT fics too! Can you galk about all of your TMNT ships please? 🥺

Fic name followed by the pairings as currently, my three fics have three very different versions of these characters lol

Last Knight Saki/Raphael: Saki has always been one of my favorite villains, and it's almost difficult not to see the goofy guy from the 87 series. But In some versions of TMNT Saki is a cold-hearted monster and in Last Knight, he isn't a good guy, Saki is a mobster, he is a killer, and more importantly he is a human being. He has feelings, and for the most part, he knows some of the things he does are really fucked up. Raphael is very much a ninja capable of killing, but he's also the heart of his family. If anything Saki's bringing the true ninja out of Raphael even while they're falling deeper into a romantic relationship. This is also probably the closest I'll get to writing a soulmate fic for TMNT 😂 I enjoy writing these two interactions because there is so much I can do with them, they both are very versatile characters. Mikey/Tiger Claw: I wanted to try out this pairing as I hadn't written for Tiger Claw before and toeing the line between enemies and not enemies has always been something I'm fond of writing. These two might not stay in a relationship but they'll have fun while they are in it lol Bebop/Rocksteady: Funny to say but this is one of my OTP's, you just don't get Bebop without Rocksteady, and the same in reverse. I hadn't written for them before and I really wanted to at least hint at it as they aren't the main pairing or even the secondary lol Hamato Yoshi/Tang Shen: A Canon Pairing but one I'll keep because it is tragic and Splinter is really messed up from her death, it's fun to write different ways she died, and also how much everyone involved regretted her dying so needlessly.

Pac-Man Mikey/Delisha: Delisha is an OC of mine that I made for Mikey to fall in love with. De is my first attempt at a trans character and a romantic partner for Mikey! She's funny and adores Mikey, she also works for Shredder as a receptionist and sometimes as a medic. That actually doesn't bother Mikey that she works for the enemy because he adores her. Of course, if she worked against him and his brothers that would certainly start an argument and a possible breakup for these two. Donatello/Saki: The Main pairing for Pac-Man. They are going to hurt each other, Both of them are really messed up Donnie having gone through a situation that really made him switch up his game and Saki just being the normal paranoid bastard that he can be lol Of course their differences are going to start arguments and Saki isn't just going to allow Donnie to control whatever their wacky relationship is and Donnie isn't going to give up power that easily. Casey/Raphael: Not my usual cup of tea, but I don't mind occasionally writing pairs that I wouldn't normally, and I also got the idea because someone asked me if Donnie's with Saki who's Raph with lol They are best friends so it's easy to transition that into a more romantic relationship. They still do all their normal stuff, but now they also cuddle on the couch to watch movies-kiss, etc. Leo/Rocksteady/Bebop: I was learning about terminology and QPR caught my attention. I'd already planned for Rocksteady/Bebop for this fic but adding Leo in a Queer platonic relationship with them had all the guys dating lol April/Venus: I was researching and was reminded once again that Venus was a thing and I should add her coming back into the guy's lives after having been away for a while. Pairing her off with April gave me Casey/Raph vibes and I liked that so I added it in, Not sure If I'll write this paring again after this fic but I'll have fun exploring their dynamic in the fic.

Nova Saki/Raphael: The Saki in this is a much better person than he is in Last Knight and Pac-Man. He's also really messed up from a long possession and learning how to live in a new era. Raphael in this is learning what it's like to be stabbed in the back by 'friends'. They begin to trust each other and eventually grow romantic feelings for each other. Now when the family finds out well that's going to be fun to write lol

[lemonhemlock]

That anon does have a point when saying that lots of Aemond x OC fics (especially where the OC is a daughter of Rhaenyra) use some of the same plot points for their made up character. For example they will have their OC, instead of Luke (sometimes he will not exist at all in the fics and she takes his place), be the one who takes Aemond's eye which is even more startling when, as an adult, he will hopelessly fall in love with OC, is ready to sacrifice everything, abandon his family and switch sides just to marry her something that will almost never happen in the opposite case. While yes, Aemond developing an obsession with the person who took his eye is very normal, falling in love is a totally different thing and seems forced and just…unrealistic? And it's very weird when you see team black stans complaining from time to time about the amount of Aemond fics on AO3 paired with a daughter of Rhaenyra's falling in love with him and betraying her side when 99% of the same fics are written by other team black fans and have Aemond doing the switching sides thing lmao.

Of course people are free to write whatever they want about fictional characters, but after a while these type of fics are quite tiring since they're following the same plot points and tropes, more or less: she takes his eye or defends her brother doing the same without even trying to understand Aemond's POV, is either a Strong or Daemon's bastard masquerading as a trueborn Velaryon, rides Vermithor or Cannibal and knows how to control them unlike Aemond, behaves and sounds like a modern day feminist or is a girlboss who, unlike all the other ladies, knows how to fight using a sword and so on while Aemond behaves like a dumb simp all the time and is constantly villainized by the narrative (as well as most of the commentators) for being a misogynist who hates seeing women in power because why is he not swearing allegiance to his half-sister in two seconds????!!! Not to mention that in most of those fics the greens are villainized to the point where they seem like cartoon characters, especially Alicent who is always characterized as the worst mother ever who doesn't love her children at all or as a religious extremist. I've had to quit reading some precisely because of reasons like these despite them being popular and amongst the fics that were very well written otherwise. Nowadays if I really want to read an Aemond/OC fic (or an Aegon one) I'd probably search and choose one in which the OC is a lady from some random house…at least with these ones you have a lesser chance of being disappointed down the road if you're a green fan.

oh definitely the aemond x oc fics really started to get very derivative after a couple of months and the template you provided is really spot-on. but those traitor!aemond fics (where luke is replaced by another black-aligned OC) were never really written by greens anyway, so it's funny that anon thought to complain about that in the askbox of a green account :)) i also noped out of quite a few fics when they started with the alicent-bashing, i just don't have the patience for that & it was rarely even nuanced criticism anyway, at least not in my travels

i don't really know what the state of the nation is nowadays, if lucemonds really discovered body horrror, but at the time i was complaining about it, their dead doves were, at most, ridiculous dungeon sex slave fics that would be on par, comedic-wise, with Unhinged by Vera Valentine or Stuffed by the Were-Turkey by Tate McKirk. and, like, good for you if you enjoy the silliness of it, bc it's never really that serious, but, equally, be aware that people are going to poke some lighthearted fun at you for it

the thing about lucemond is that, while there is definitely basis in the enemies-to-lovers trope or the idea of obsessing over your tormentor, at the end of the day they have to be honest with themselves and admit that they started shipping it after they watched hotd. it's an entirely show thing, no one shipped those two when only Fire & Blood existed. and, say what you will, but there is no shipping subtext in the show about this either, PLUS the visual discrepancy between the actors' ages makes it really not secksual at all. like, that is clearly a grown man and a barely pubescent teenager, there is no "story chemistry" to speak of :)) and i'm not even talking about the squeamish implications of that taboo topic, but there is 0 such <chemistry> or buildup in the text of FB and there is 0 in the media text of the two hotd episodes where both of them appear. not from the part of the actors and not from the part of the technical crew that filmed and edited it. i would love for someone to point out at least 1 such frame that indicated lust or longing or some kind of repressed romantic feeling. so it's only natural people are treating it as some kind of crackship.

anyway it's funny people are still in the grips of lucemond more than one year on. by all means do what you want, but, man, you gotta make some allowances for the goofiness of it all :))

[purplebass]

Give us some Thomastair headcanons post-ChoT!

These are more than a few and someday they might turn into fan fictions maybe 👀💙

I probably said this several times and hinted it in my fics, but Thomas can't cook to save his life 😂 he once tried to prepare something easy after he asked the cook who works for the Lightwoods, but he almost set the kitchen on fire. Alastair promised him that he would try to teach him, but so far they didn't have enough time for that

Alastair is not a heavy sleeper and he hates being tickled (sometimes Thomas likes to wake him up with tickles)

They have a "games night" at the Lightwoods every two weeks. Alastair discovered that Thomas is super competitive when it comes to board games, but he can easily distracted if he eats while he plays lol

They adopted two cats, even though Alastair silently curses when they leave fur all over his black outfits. For this reason, Thomas suggested him to switch his wardrobe to different colors and to ask Matthew for advice, but Alastair refused. (He only lets Thomas pick his ties for now)

They went to Spain more than once and Thomas showed Alastair around Madrid. They decided to that they would visit at least one artistic city or country per year

One time they almost fell into the Serpentine because Thomas wanted to go boating but their little boat was damaged so they had to go back before the ship would sink lmao

A few years after Zachary was born, a neighbor of Sona at Cirenworth who decided to move to the city decided to gift his three horses to their family. It turned out Thomas didn't know how to ride (James was the only one who owned horses among their group). Alastair knew how to ride because when he was a child his mother taught him and Cordelia, and now he taught Thomas - even though if you ask Thomas, he'd rider ride on the same horse as Alastair

They have matching rings that symbolize their union. They exchanged their vows one night by themselves, and then threw an intimate party to celebrate with family and friends

Thomas likes to write poetry about Alastair, and Alastair writes music to go along with Thomas' poems

Tales before the storm.

Main Navigation center My Fic MasterList

To my giftee, @mertensia, enjoy this gift I give you. A mostly Legend fic, I have no clue how it became this, but I can say that it goes through a large variety of genres!

˅Words: 5227

Legend stared at the water that surrounded the tiny island of Wind’s era. He hated the salty smell and the cool ocean breeze as it whispered to him. It reminded Legend too much of Marin. The seagulls called from where they circled, eyes sharp in a search of food. They called out to each other in the roaring wind, reminding them of their search.

A huge flock of seagulls in particular circled around an open area further away from the island. Legend narrowed his eyes, blinking wildly. Legend thought he had seen something moving under that big flock of seagulls, but if something was there, it was gone now.

Legend had pushed himself up, getting to stand as everyone around him started to do the same. The only one not moving much being Four, as switches always seemed to affect Four badly. Four still gave a weak thumbs up from where he laid face down in the grass.

“We’re in my era!” Wind excitedly called. “Although, I think we are on Diamond Steppe island though, so I doubt we’ll get on a ship before the next switch. There was also a big octo on this island! I wonder if it’s still there after I killed it…” Wind trailed off thinking.

“So, we’re stuck on an island with no way off?” Time asked, crossing his arms and looking at Wind with his only good eye.

Wind nodded somehow enthusiastically. “Yep!”

“Why the fuck are you so energetic at the thought of us being stranded on an island?!” Legend glared at where Wind was practically vibrating.

“Wow vet, you’re a bit grouchy today.” Warriors noticed, smirking at Legend from the corner of Legend’s eyes.

“Yes. Don’t talk to me today pretty boy, or we’ll see if you are waterproof and can swim.”

“Don’t fight, this isn’t the biggest of islands.” Twilight spoke up, glancing between Legend and Warriors.

Sky glanced at Legend from where he was helping Four to sitting. Four stared at Legend with a neutral expression, unreadable even to Legend.

It’s kind of scary how deadpan Four is sometimes. It’s almost always hard to read his expressions.. Legend’s mind mused for not the first time. 

Legend glanced around the island. He noticed that it had some very steep cliffs with waterfalls falling down. A few palm trees dotted the cliffs and the land, and a large pool of water sat at the bottom, just a few steps away from Legend in the center of the island. Tall cliffs separated the island from the ocean. Flowers danced to a tune that the wind sang.

“Well, fuck.” Legend muttered, noting how there was literally no way to separate himself from the rest of the chain. A joke which Four had originally suggested amused, but somehow stuck with the other heroes. 

“Hey, vet.” Sky’s voice startled Legend out of his trance, and he snapped his gaze to the sleepy hero.

“Oh, hey Sky.” Legend groaned, rubbing his eyes in a hopeless attempt to get the sun out.

Sky smiled at Legend as Legend turned back to the high cliffs of the island. He started to walk towards the lake, moving to sit on the lake’s shore. He heard Sky move to sit next to him. Wild immediately ran over to the cliff to start climbing, Wind yelling at Wild to come back down. Something about a very bad hole being at the top..? Legend couldn’t hear it through the wind.

The sky was mostly clear with patches of clouds floating through, until they vanished over the horizon off into the distance over the endless ocean.

Legend really hated Wind’s era sometimes. As Legend stared at the lake, he could almost imagine that he was just in another link’s era, but the smell and noise brought him back.

Legend could tell that he was giving off ‘don’t talk to me’ vibes, as the other heroes settled down further away. In a grassy patch underneath a few trees. Only Sky sat next to Legend, with Hyrule picking flowers and Four casting a glance at Legend.

“So, I’ve noticed you don’t particularly like Wind’s era. Is it because of the ocean?” Sky asked carefully, looking at Legend curiously.

“Yeah, sure. I’m not a big fan of water.” Legend said in a monotone voice as he stared at the lake.

“Do, do you want to talk about something?” Sky asked again.

Legend blinked, glancing at Sky who had returned to look at the lake. “Like what?”

Sky shrugged. “Anything really. Happy memories? Funny stuff that happened on your adventures? Things you like? You’re always so vague about them. Almost Time or Four level of vague.”

“Did I hear my name mentioned?”

“WHERE THE FUCK DID YOU COME FROM FOUR?!” Legend jerked back at the sudden appearance of the shortest hero. Four merely smirked slightly at Legend’s reaction.

“I have my ways. Anyways, I’ve wandered over to question why Legend looks like he was going to murder the next hylian who talked to him.” Four shrugged.

“And you still came over willingly to talk to Legend?” Sky asked, turning to look at Four.

Four nodded. “I mean, I got nothing else to do. Plus I feel better from the switch already, oh and Warriors was being annoying.” Four moved to sit on Legend’s other side, muttering a ‘scoot over Legend’ as he sat down.

Legend stared at him. “I don’t have a murderous expression.”

“Yeah you totally do, your eyes narrow and your eyebrows pitch together. You frown slightly and stare blankly.” Four explained, saying it as if it was public knowledge.

Sky snickered as Legend stared at Four unable to form words to fight back.

“So, anyways. Before I interrupted you, what were you and Sky talking about?” Four inquired, inclining his head at a slight angle. (It reminded Legend of puppies or even Wolfie. Comparing Four to a puppy would definitely end up in him getting his kneecaps kicked hard, so he decided not to say that thought out loud.)

“Well, I was asking if Legend wanted to talk about any happy memories or good things that happened from his adventures in order to take his mind off of being in the middle of the ocean.” Sky gestured around at the island at the word ‘ocean’. 

“Happy memories? From adventures..?” Legend blinked at Sky. “Adventure’s aren’t supposed to be fun.”

“Well, I mean everyone has to have some good moments. Like for me, it was reuniting with Sun again.” Sky smiled his dopey in love smile at the mention of Sun. “I spent most of my adventure looking for her.”

Four nodded. “I found a family and friends which I could never forget. Even if there were some bittersweet moments.”

Legend blinked at the two of them. He turned to the lake again, scratching his neck in thought.

“I guess a good time was meeting a friend of mine. She was wonderful and amazing. I miss her.. Ravio maybe? He’s an annoyance to deal with, but I guess I would consider him a friend.”

“See, everyone has some good moments in their life.” Sky grinned.

“Speaking of Sun, do you have any relationships Legend?” Four asked suddenly.

Legend turned to Four at the unexpected question. “Where did that come from Smithy? Got someone on your mind?” He added the sarcastic comment.

Four shrugged. “I mean, I had a friend I knew, but no relationships for me. I remembered my friend and I just thought of that question. Plus, you have like a bajillion rings. Surely not all are from dungeons.” “You underestimate how many dungeons gave me rings.”

“Oh Hylia.”

Legend chuckled at Four’s face. “No, most of them are from dungeons though. Plus, I have some many more in my bag. But this one,” He held up his hand, pointing to a plain, silver ring. Small patterns that made it look like leaves curled inwards to a simple flower. “I made this. It was in memory of one of my friends..” Legend looked at the ring sadly.

“Okay, now you’re sad again. This is supposed to be a bonding moment!” Sky gently shoved Legend affectionately.

Legend grinned at Sky. “Have I ever told you about my ability to turn into a painting?”

Both Sky and Four visibly paused, doing a double take.

“I’m sorry, what?” Sky blinked at Legend. Four hummed, staring at Legend in hopes of him continuing.

Legend chuckled. “And that is all I’m going to say.” He grinned at Sky’s expression.

“I’m so proud of you Legend.” Four wiped away fake tears. “You’re vagueness is beautiful.”

Sky whipped his head to Four. “Why are you encouraging this?!”

Legend laughed, Four even joining in. Sky chuckled at their laughter.

“Okay but I was seriously a painting once.” Four shrugged. “I mean, I’ve seen the world being as small as a mouse and fought a giant sphere with a single big eye. I can see that happening to one of us.” Sky stared at Four. “I would’ve marked down one of my weirdest experiences would’ve been being able to sit on a bench and get healed, but now I’m really questioning things.”

Legend smirked. “I also was once on the run from soldiers.”

Four blinked at Legend. “Oh, so that’s why I saw a bunch of ‘wanted’ posters of you.”

Legend shook his head sadly. “They never can get my face right. Especially my nose.”

“One time Fi told me to ‘charge my wii batteries’, whatever that means..”

Legend blinked at Sky.

Sky shrugged. “My reaction entirely.”

Four chuckled quietly, as if he was sharing a secret with himself.

Legend hummed a moment, going through his memories to find any strange occurrences he had found himself in.

A comfortable silence fell as Legend tried to remember his adventures. He glanced at Four, his eyes instinctively moving to the Four Sword. 

“I once had to team up with me, myself and I to fight in a kingdom who only cares about fashion. The only reason why I was there was because a princess was cursed to wear something ‘ugly’.” Legend recalled.

“Sounds familiar.” Four mused quietly.

Sky smiled, his eyes never leaving the small fish that danced in the clear water.

Silence fell again, only being broken by Twilight’s shout of WILD! DON’T DO THAT!’ and Wild’s response of ‘I can do whatever he wanted, thank you very much’ from where he sat at the edge of the cliff. Legend rolled his eyes at the (unfortunately) common occurrence.

Legend heard heavy feet falling behind him and turned. Meeting the gaze of Time as he looked at the heroes with his good eye. “I once fought the moon.”

Four turned to look at Time. “It’s kind of impressive how you can say that with such a deadpan expression.”

Time shrugged. “Well, I’ve come to tell you that Wild is cooking.”

“Great. I’m starving.” Legend stood up and stretched. He blinked, noticing at the sudden darkness that had appeared. Dark, stormy clouds drifted along the sky, different then how it was when they had first arrived. Legend also noticed the lack of noise, even the wind had calmed down to a quiet hum. 

I forgot we were even on an island.. Legend blinked at the revelation.

“Had it always been this stormy looking?” Four asked, voicing Legend’s own thoughts out loud.

Time glanced up. “No, and it has only been getting worse. Wind thinks it might be a storm, but a storm doesn’t happen this fast.”

Sky frowned. “This storm is giving me a strange feeling. Perhaps we should get up quicker and get over to eat Wild’s delicious food.”

“You just want to eat Wild’s cooking.” Legend joked, as Four stood up. “But yeah, the quicker we can get food and hopefully get off this island, the better.”

Legend walked over to the rest of the chain, where Wild’s cooking wafted around as Wild sat at a fire. Hyrule sat nearby, carefully looking at the flowers he had collected. Twilight kept glancing nervously at the sky, and Wind chatted to no one and everyone, waving his hands in exaggerated motions. Warriors glanced at Legend as Time lead them back.

“You good now Vet? Not going to murder anyone now?” Warriors cocked his eyebrow.

“Wouldn’t you like to know pretty boy.” Legend shot back.

“Glad to see you back to your sarcastic self.” Warriors replied.

Legend huffed amused.

“I have some fish soup for all of you.” Wild handed out the soup to everyone.

No one wasted any time digging into the soup. As Legend ate, he saw a singular seagull landing in a nearby tree.

Marin, I hope wherever you are, you are as happy.

***

As they finished eating their stew, Wind glanced at the sky nervously. It rumbled ominously, which gave Legend a chill. He could recognize the starting of a boss battle, even if he had no clue where it was.

“Wind, could this storm be signaling a boss battle?” Legend inquired, giving Wild his cleaned bowl.

Wind blinked at the sky, “it shouldn’t be, I’ve already taken care of the boss in this area… unless.. It somehow returned.”

“Like the blood moon in my time?” Wild asked, shifting through his sheikah slate in search of something.

Wind nodded. “Yeah, the big problem is that if the boss did return, we need a boat to defeat it. Something we currently do not have.”

Time looked at the young sailor. “What was the boss in this area Wind?” He rumbled.

“A very big octo. Very large, you can always tell when one is near because it starts to pour rain hard and water around it starts to form a whirlpool.” Wind explained, glancing towards the ocean nervously when rain started to pour from the sky.

Oh fuck. I don’t want to have to deal with ANOTHER boss. Legend groaned inwards quietly. I’ve already had to deal with so many..

Wind flinched as a rumble sounded from the ocean, Wild rushed to the edge of the island, peering into the waters curiously. He stumbled back quickly enough.

“There is a whirlpool. A very big one. I have a feeling that the Octo is still here-” Wild spoke, grabbing his bow and his slate.

“Great, we’re going to have to fight it aren’t we?” Legend groaned, moving to grab his bag of items. He shuffled through it looking for, preferably something long ranged. He got what he was looking for, a fire rod and ice rod was produced. But he frowned, noting that it might not be a good idea over open water.

“Well, yes, if we plan on leaving this island or leaving ourselves open to attacks. But the downside is that we’re going to need a boat to fight it..” Wind shuffled his feet as he tightened his grip on his sword.

“We can’t just use the island to shoot from afar?” Wild inquired, tilting his head.

“I mean, I guess we could..? But I have never tried that. All the times I had fought them, I had a boat that I sailed in.” “Tetra’s boat?” Sky asked and Legend glanced up to him. His hair was plastered to his face and his cloth around his next billowed in the harsh winds. His hand was on the mastersword’s hilt, and his eyes were narrowed in the harsh wind.

“Nope, someone else.”

Legend hummed, going back to his bag in search of a weapon, he finally stumbled upon what he was looking for. A bow. Legend didn’t know which adventure he got this particular bow, he thinks his first adventure, but the bow itself wasn’t something grand. Instead, it was the arrows. Specifically bomb arrows. He flourished his bow and started counting his arrows that he had.

100 arrows? Hmm, I swore I had more.. Maybe not, but I know.. Aha! I found the rest of my arrows. I’ll only be able to hold 70 in my quiver though. Legend grabbed 60 bomb arrows and 10 regular arrows. Bomb arrows are usually pretty effective against big targets right?

“Hey Wind, any weak points in this thing?” Four called, his voice much further away then before. Legend glanced up. Four was at the edge of the island using his bow and shooting a giant rising shape.

That… is a very big octorok. Legend blinked at the sheer size of it. It made Ganondorf look tiny, even puny, compared to the octorok. Legend noticed that the octorok was where the huge swarm of seagulls had circled just moments before.

“Yeah! Aim for the eyes!!” Wind called, and Legend turned to see Wind using his bow and arrows, all of them aimed for the octo’s eyes. Legend grabbed his bag and put it on as he finished sorting through his arrows.

Legend hurried over, pulling his bow back and shooting a bomb arrow. It landed perfectly on the octo’s top right eye. It was only missing one other eye, being shot at by Time moments earlier.

“Jeez Wind, how do this things get so big in your Hyrule?” Warriors exclaimed, ducking one of the octo’s tentacles as it swiped at him.

“It’s probably since we’re in an ocean! They typically like water.” Legend shot at Warriors.

“Yeah, but your name isn’t Wind! I asked Wind!”

“Sounds like someone is just upset that they asked a really obvious question.”

“Legend duck!” Twilight’s yell sounded out from Legend’s left. Legend on instinct rolled right, just barely being missed by a tentacle. Lightning crackled in the stormy sky.

“You okay?” Hyrule bent over to peer at Legend, holding his bow at his side and helping Legend up.

“Yup, just keep shooting Rulie!” Legend grabbed another arrow and shot at the Octo.

Hyrule joined him, shooting off arrows. 

Then 5 eyes went down to 3, then 2. Every time the arrow made its mark, it would jiggle and shake.

Four yelped when a tentacle caught him off guard. He was thrown backwards, and Hyrule instantly went back to go and help Four. Legend felt his frustration grow more as Sky was next to be caught by the tentacles.

The arrow landed. 1 more eye to go.

By now, the octo has been having to swerve its head to spot the heroes, wildly swinging its tentacles in wide arcs in hopes of catching some unsuspecting prey. Legend dodged a swinging tentacle, glancing back up to see Wind landing the final arrow on the octo.

It didn’t go down.

“It must have an eye on it’s back side!” Wind exclaimed, and indeed, the octo did. Legend saw the eye as it swiveled away, clearly knowing better then to turn their direction. It kept swinging it’s tentacles wildly, with fast and practiced movements.

“How are we going to get it though?” Warriors shouted over the roaring wind.

Legend ducked from the tentacles again, noting its attacking style. 

I could maybe use my mermaid suit or flippers, but I wouldn’t be able to climb back on the island due to all of its cliffs. And clearly there are no hookshot places, or at least from where I can see. I mean, maybe the trees but I doubt my hookshot would work. I could use its tentacles to scale the body and attack from the back. But then back to the ‘how will I get back up here?’ question.

Legend sighed at his idea, seeing no other choice, he decided that he would have to do it. So when the octo swung its tentacles again, Legend hopped onto it’s slimy skin. Clinging onto it for his dear life, he started to scale the monstrosity.

It proved to be a task indeed. It certainly could feel Legend there, and definitely did not want Legend there. It used its tentacles to whack Legend off, but Legend stood strong, Just barely over the wind, he could hear his fellow heroes shouting from the island, but he paid them no mind.

Legend kept losing his grip as he climbed, he kept sliding down minisculely. Soon, however, Legend had made it to the shoulder of the octo. He glanced up, noting how high up the cliff edge was from where he clutched the octo’s skin desperately. Sky was yelling something with a worried expression, but Legend couldn’t hear him. Water crashed against his legs on the small lip where the tentacle connected to the octo. 

Well, I’m already down here. How am I going to get back up there?

Legend scrunched his nose in concentration as he inched along the lip of the octo. Having to keep his eyes open for incoming tentacles, he ducked as one came fast towards him. It only resulted in the Octo hitting itself. As Legend finally was able to inch all the way to the back side, he saw the final eye. Not far from it, it blinked and stared at him as he raised his bow. Knocking an arrow with one hand was tough, but something that Legend taught himself to do. He didn’t recall which adventure… maybe 4? Shaking his head, he took careful aim and made sure to keep a tight grip as to not fall into the swirling whirlpool below. He shot his arrow, watching as it hit its mark head on.

The octo let out a hideous noise, something between Wild’s octos and Four’s octos. Its tentacles  curled in on itself, and it shook violently. Legend let out a surprised squeak at the sudden jiggling movement of the Octo. It’s eyes started to glow a bright blue and it slowly started to sink below the waves. Legend yelped, getting swept off by the water as he lost his footing.

By instinct, Legend grabbed his mermaid tail from his bag and instantly the familiar feel of the tail washed over him. Reminded Legend of taking a warm, bubbly bath and the warm water washing over his bottom half. His top half was not affected, and in fact felt like it was going to become a frozen hero popsicle. The ocean water curled around him, it’s presence like an overwhelming quilt that Ravio always brought him. Opening his eyes, he was greeted by the blank darkness of Wind’s Ocean. He thought he saw some fish swimming past, but they seemed more like Hyrule’s Zoras more than anything. Big fish with ugly faces and sharp teeth… maybe… 

Squinting, Legend glanced around, blinking at the same darkness that surrounded him. He yelped, feeling something tugging him backwards and glanced back. And he instantly regret it.

The giant octo stared right at him, most likely into his soul with those blank, glowing eyes. Legend beat his tail, swiftly moving further away from the octo, hopefully out of the whirlpool that it created, and turned back.

The octo had vanished from sight. Legend blinked, rubbing his eyes before blinking again.

What the fuck? Whom the fuck? Why the fuck? He shrugged, breathing deeply. I mean- I guess that’s the most anticlimactic boss ending I’ve ever seen. And that’s really saying something. Legend didn't know how long he paddled there, blinking at the haze of the ocean, unable to tell what was up or down. Because, apparently, mermaids DON’T have night vision- or at least underwater vision. Which was stupid in Legend’s opinion, since they literally LIVE underwater. It wasn’t until light started streaming from above him, did Legend start to move again.

By then, Legend was sure he was going to freeze to death. His glittering red tail and fins swept through the water as he swam up, but he could feel the chill settling into his bones. They ached, and he could barely feel his arms. 

As he surfaced, he felt the warmth of the sun settled onto him. The second thing that hit him was the call of the seagulls, which Legend could feel his heart aching at the sound.

He also could hear the panicked voices of his fellow heroes. Even Warriors, which was pretty surprising considering how much Legend did to get into a fight with him, was calling out his name. As he opened his eyes, he was greeted by a much odd sight.

Wind was hanging from the cliff with his grappling hook secured on a tree, Wild was on the wall itself, wearing a beanie sort of thing and boots. (Still had his blue tunic on though-) Warriors was pacing at the edge of the cliff with Time standing and watching worriedly. Legend was pretty sure that was the most worried expression he has ever seen on Time. Sky, Hyrule and Four were no where to be found. And Twilight was very clearly panicking. Skirting around the edges and calling his name frantically and just seemingly on the edge of a panic attack.

Huh, they really seem to care about me.. Even Warriors looks panicked. I would assume that Hyrule would be panicking if he wasn’t helping Four and Sky. They both looked like they took some hard hits. As Legend swam over, he heard the cries of relief from Wild and Wind on the cliff.

“Legend! Your okay! Oh thank the goddess!!” Twilight yelled from the top of the cliff.

“WHAT?!” Legend called back, pretending not to hear him. As he neared the edge, he saw Wind’s eyes widen. He quickly took his mermaid tail and shoved it back into his bag again. He hoisted himself up, pulling out his grappling hook to find out- that yes it does clutch onto the cliff wall.

“Next time we fight a boss, can we fight it on land?” Legend muttered as he started climbing. “Especially when the only piece of land has fucking steep cliffs.” 

Wind hopped up next to him as they climbed. “Hey- it’s not as bad as the ones in Wild’s time though. You recall that Hindox on top of the really big hill?”

“Yes. I also recall how Wild threw a really big boulder at it- and bombs.”

“Hey! It was a situation where it was called for!”

“It really wasn’t called for.” Legend shot back as he got near the top. Time reached down and helped Legend up. Warriors got Wind up, and Wild just got himself.

Instantly, Legend was crushed by fur. “Oof- Twilight! Stop- your.. CRUSHING ME!-” He yelped as the bear (wolf?) hug only got tighter.

“You worried us!” Twilight cried. “If Sky and Four hadn’t been injured, Hyrule would be panicking just as much as I was!” Legend choked out a weak “I can’t breath” before the hug was stopped. Putting Legend back on the ground with only some minor broken bones. He stood there gasping for breath after that death grip of a hug. Before smirking.

“Even Warriors was panicking?” Legend snarked, giving Warriors a sideways glance mirthfully.

Warriors stared back at Legend. “I was worried, but now I’m regretting it.”

“You do care!” Legend dramatically gasped.

“You’re as dramatic as Four.”

“I’ve learned from the best.”

Legend ganced around, noting that Time, Warriors, Wind, Wild and Twilight were mostly uninjured. (With Warriors having some suction cup markings on his face.) He saw Hyrule by the campfire, and ran over. Ignoring the muttered 'wow what are we, boko fodder?’ from Warriors.

“Hyrule!” Legend said as he neared his descendant. Hyrule glanced up.

“Legend! You’re okay! You were down there for so long! I was worried!” Hyrule, much like Twilight, hugged Legend very tightly. As if he planned to never let go. As he pulled away, he instantly went to checking for wounds. 

“Are you hurt? Did the octo get anything? On a scale from 1-10, how are you feeling? Do you need a potion?” Hyrule worried, circling around Legend like a hawk and its prey. 

“I’m fine. How is Four and Sky?” Legend asked, peering at the two heroes.

Four looked peaceful, his eyes closed shut and he laid splayed out on the ground. Sky was more awake, leaning heavily at the base of the tree. He glancing at Legend, blinking slowly.

“Well, Four was hit hard enough to be knocked unconscious, Sky has a minor concussion. Nothing too bad. Well, actually it’s not good that they got injured, but like.. It’s not serious injuries.” Hyrule waved his hand over towards Four and Sky, his eyes leaving Legend to glance over towards them.

“Since our dinner was RUDELY INTERRUPTED,” Wild hopped over to his mostly unfinished bowl, glancing angrily at the previous place where the octo had been, “I say we finish up and just vibe here until the next shift!”

“How are you still not finished with that? I finished mine hours ago!” “Some of us don’t eat as fast as you, not all of us have that kind of ability. I certainly didn’t get it with my hero licence.”

“Hey, what’s that implying?!”

“Guys, chill.” Wind walked over to Legend with a pondering look on his face.

“Hey, what’s up Wind?” Legend asked, glancing at the pirate.

“That octo- it was different…” Legend hummed, and when Wind didn’t continue, Legend looked over to see the sailor asleep next to him, his back propped up to the stump.

He smiled quietly, leaning back to watch the sun set below the horizon. A seagull perched nearby, fixing him with strikingly similar cool amber eyes. Legend choked quietly, tears starting to pool at the edges of his vision.

Marin, I miss you. I’m sorry.

Legend closed his eyes, feeling the grass below him and the call of the seagulls.

Then suddenly, he was free.

Bonus

“You know, islands remind me of an old friend of mine- her name was Marin.” Legend mumbled quietly, and felt Sky’s arms wrap around him.

“I’m sorry.” Sky whispered, Legend could feel the pitying glance that Four shot him. Legend could feel himself shaking, tears starting to form at the corners of his eyes.

“Oh- Marin? You mean the seagull lover? I knew her- she’s was kinda odd…” Warriors voice piped up from literally behind them.

Legend whipped his head around so fast, he could’ve snapped his neck for all he knew.

“You what.”

Warriors stared at Legend with a bored expression.

“Yeah- showed up in the War, right into the middle of battle, might I add. Almost cut her head off, he had appeared outta nowhere.” Warriors drowsed, peering at the trio of heroes staring at him with a mixture of interest (Four), shock (Sky), and fury with a mix of shock and joy (Legend).

“Okay, first of all Warriors. What the FUCK-”

EXTRA EXTRA BONUS (This was orginally going to go in, but it was much better as an outtake.)

Then suddenly, he was free.

And his face was mashed into the mud.

He coughed and sputtered, shaking himself of the mud.

“Oh hey- we’re in my hyrule!” Wild exclaimed.

“WHY DID I HAVE TO LAND IN MUD?!” came Warriors’s shriek.

Legend spat out a chunk of mud, standing up with as much grace as he had respect for the goddess. (spoiler alert, it was none.) And groaned at the sunny day that greeted him.

He smirked upon noticing Warriors appearance. Mud caked his hair and his clothes where a rumpled mess.

“Looks like pretty boy isn’t pretty any more. I guess now your nickname is boy.” “LEGEND I SWEAR TO THE GODDESS-” “You know I don’t care about the goddess Warriors.” “LEGEND!”
