#strong charmie vibes

[mafaldaknows]

Because I felt like it, that’s why 😜

(Seeing Still Woozy live in concert next month, can’t wait!)

My quintessential Charmie theme song, this time with Sven Gamsky live, singing in a hot tub.

IN A HOT TUB.

Add this to your Charmie playlist (Live Hot Tub Version). How much longer, indeed.

WINDOW by Still Woozy

Uh, okay

If I got one thing right it was you and me

But I go in through the window so nobody sees

Pull me closer please

I don't even need you to explain

How much longer will you keep me on your chain?

I'm running out of options (okay)

You're running through my mind with a shotgun

I think she might be robbing

She can take what she want

I just wanna make you late

Would you wanna waste that?

I know you like my goofy ass

How could you hate that

I can see what's underneath

And I love you more now

Now I know how (yeah)

If I got one thing right it was you and me

But I go in through the window so nobody sees

Pull me closer please

I don't even need you to explain

How much longer will you keep me on your chain?

Too bad it's good

Or else I'd be gone

My down she cured

And then we go back to your place, don't lie

You wanna get high so we gonna get high

And then I see a laugh on your face so I might die

So I might die

So I might die

If I got one thing right it was you and me

So I'll go in so nobody sees

Pull me closer please

I don't even need you to explain

How much longer will you keep me on your chain?

How much longer

SAVE YOUR BREATH — Armando Aretas [October Prompts] 🧡

A/N: This was inspired by the show FROM and this fic has a slight crossover with the show that I squeezed into this plot. I initially had no plans to take it further than a certain symbol. I was supposed to end it there (while also keeping this short) but I kept writing lol! If you haven’t watched you should for this season especially! Also loosely inspired by Midnight mass 🫣 & just know picking songs that fit the spooky vibe or fall aesthetic is also a job y’all 😆

S/N: If you’re a reader who’s been impacted by the hurricane(s) I hope you and your loved ones are safe during this difficult time! 🫶🏽

PROMPTS ARE FROM HERE & HERE + I’m using: "Give me one good reason not to kill you." "I'm immortal, so…it's actually not possible." + SCENARIOS — 6. Visiting an apple orchard.

SYNOPSIS: in which Armando wants to avenge your death but your attempts to make him let it slide, brings on a new level of danger he’s not all that prepared for.

🏷️: @violetmuses + @believeinthefireflies95 + @nobodygetsza

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺ ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺ ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧⁺ ⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊‧

Giving Armando space wasn’t really effective since he can still feel you hovering, whether you were behind him lounging against the wall and slicing up some apples to eat while you kept quiet for the most part, or just you simply letting your ghost eyes chill through him.

He’s been on his computer for weeks and didn’t want any help. Any wink of sleep he got was not something he allowed on his own, he’s been functioning off caffeine and eye drops to keep him going trying to track down your killer. Mike’s been telling him to let him handle it, since there was a part of Mike that knew Armando would be back to his old ways, especially after losing you. Now that Mike was slowly building something with his son, he didn’t want Armando to throw it all away. Which definitely brought off heated energy because who was Mike Lowrey to tell Armando how to get justice? Armando had his mother to thank for that, even in death, she was still controlling his life. It has been months since he was on the run and since you played a part in his hiding, that meant you had to serve time, whereas Mike pulled a deal for Armando to work for AMMO that would amount up to the added time he needed to serve, You got the short end of the stick.

No shock there—and to make a long story short, you gave as good as you could in prison but Armando’s mother had it planned that if something were to ever happen to her, she had people that would take you out as well, since she had this unhealthy jealousy when it came to you and Armando.

Nothing ever become of you and Armando but she saw it before you two ever had the chance to fully explore.

So when Mike had to deliver the news of your passing, Armando felt like what was left of him died.

Your relationship with his mother was also very complex. Isabel Aretas was the one who stole you from your own family at just eight years old. Nothing Isabel did made logical sense, you would think that the one person that made your child happy, you would still want your child to have some sort of happiness so that they wouldn’t be alone right? Wrong. Isabel strived to be the only one in her son’s life, out of some unresolved issues and because your bond with Armando was also strong, she wanted to take that with her as well.

It took time but it happened.

In her mind, this would make Armando the deadliest kingpin there could ever be. It builds character, which was her excuse for masking her love as manipulation. When you got away from her, you wanted Armando out too but that resulted in many things with Isabel calling you a, “ungrateful bitch,” and Armando being too blind to see how Isabel was going to get them both killed.

She almost succeeded.

“I think you should just let this go, you’re able to start this new life now. Even if you hate it, maybe it��ll be worth it.” You tried to tell Armando, who wouldn’t bring his red eyes away from the screen.

His brows furrowed as he harshly clicked around on his mouse, “No. I won’t. I’m doing this for us.”

“It’s not going to bring me back.” You state, “Karma will get them one way or another.”

“I don’t have faith in that.”

But he had the answers!

“Well maybe you should have some faith in me.”

“Maybe if you minded your business, you wouldn’t be where you’re at.” Armando snapped, which caught you off guard.

You wouldn’t make excuses for him.

That was low and he knew it because his eyes clenched not long after those words escaped his lips. “I’m sorry—

A gush of wind was all that he heard, which means that you actually left him on his own. It was for a minute too, he kept calling out to you like a crazy person in his apartment as the days went on but you wouldn’t break. Sure he was persistent but you were also very stubborn and didn’t mind making him sweat it out.

There was no way he tried to shift his mother’s actions and deem them as your fault. She took you from your family as a child, causing an accident where you couldn’t remember the last eight years of your life—only the new image the Aretas’ built—killed your father instantly in that accident, left your mother in the hospital with a lengthy recovery just to worry herself into sickness and die not knowing if you were ever safe, made you believe you were living with the Aretas out of false pretenses, made everything so squeaky clean that for years you couldn’t find any true history of your past life, tried to mold you into her one of her many soldiers, continued to lie to about not only you but Armando’s upbringing, and gaslit the both of you once those truth’s came to light.

Isabel was taken out of the game first but at least you were able to go out with a smile on your face, Mrs. Aretas couldn’t say the same.

When you did return, it was when Armando found out the whereabouts of your killer. She was free from jail, ironically five months after your murder—the system pinned it on another inmate—and would be down at the apple orchard with her little family.

“Arman…this isn’t a good idea.” You appeared behind him, as he’s flicking the collar of his leather jacket up after sipping into it.

He scoffs, “Appearing from the shadows today? After you literally ghosted me? is rich I have to say.”

“And I had every right to. This vengefulness is making you sick, haven’t you learned this yet? What is it going to take for you to get it through your thick ass skull, huh?” You follow him as he opens the secret compartment in his room that contained all of his weapons.

You were positive Mike did not know about this stash. Armando probably shouldn’t have any of this kind of weaponry in this temporary home Mike had him set up in. Regardless, Armando was smart he wouldn’t just take these handouts since he knew they came at a cost and had numerous bunkers over the globe. If he wanted to be gone again, he could be.

“You need to get out of my way,” Armando says to you as you simply cross your arms after he comes back out with a case.

You tilt your head, “or what?”

With swiftness, Armando pulls a knife that looks awfully familar as he shoves it right underneath your chin, “Give me one good reason not to kill you.”

Flashing your pretty teeth at him with your arms still folded you respond, “I'm immortal, so…it's actually not possible. Is it genius?”

Armando blinks, “doesn’t mean it still won’t hurt?”

“…that’s the thing, you don’t want to hurt me. You want to hurt everybody else.” You reason, which proves to be right as Armando rolls his eyes before removing the blade from your cold skin.

Sighing Armando puts his back to you, “I really don’t have time for this.”

The sarcasm is heavy in your tone, “Sure but you have time to execute a murder in front of who knows how many people and children?”

“No need to worry,” Armando smirks, “I’m the better shooter anyway.”

Huffing you follow Armando as he starts making his way through the apartment, making sure he has everything before closing the door in your face. Of course you throw your hands up before walking right through the wall to follow the man down the hallway. If he was going to do this, then you were going to be right beside him trying to get him to change his mind before he actually got to the orchard.

It was funny really, Armando going to the one place you loved being. Something you could never explain, you always loved apples since you came into Armando’s life. Apple scented things, favorite fruit and snack were apples, loved baking anything that had to do with apples—not that you had that much time to do that either catching bodies and all but in your sprinkle of free time you did. This was only explained once you knew your background, that you weren’t from another place in South America but North. You had grandparents who owned a farm and were still looking for you after your parents passed.

Your parents were in debt to the wrong people.

The Aretas, so they took the one valuable thing and that happened to be you.

Now here you were not getting to enjoy the sights of the orchard because Armando was out for blood. In your honor. Past you who was just doing these things because you knew you could, would be proud but once you got away from the dark of this game, living the life you could have? Changed how you viewed the world. It drastically changed again once Armando Aretas showed up at your door.

“What are you looking to accomplish by doing this?”

Armando sighed as he opens the car door, “I went over this already.”

“Okay…so what are you going to tell Mike and Secada once they find out?” You inquire as you appear on the passenger side, “The first person they’re going to look for is you, you know that right?”

“I have an alibi.”

“Don’t say something lame like visiting my mausoleum all the way in Massachusetts…knowing you can’t leave the state alone.”

Armando goes quiet which lets you know that was exactly what he was planning on using. He hated having you be one step ahead of him and it showed. The blank expression he shot you, had you snorting into your hand and with a shake of your head you start to comment before Armando interupts.

“Save your breath.” Armando mutters

Moving the seatbelt with a sigh, so you can free your braids you say, “no, I don’t think I will. We went long enough not speaking after you disrespected me by playing the blame game.”

He briefly glances over at you, hand tightening on the wheel, he regretted saying that to you, “I didn’t mean any of it, amiga. I was in my head and when I’m in my head—

“You don’t listen,” you finish with a sharp nod, “which is why I’m telling you that this a bad idea.”

He blinks, “is that a immortal feeling or something?”

You laugh again, “I don’t…think that’s a thing? It’s just natural to not want you to end up, you know? Dead.”

“Appreciate that but the only way I get to move on, is if I do this.”

“Until something else feeds that desire to kill again.”

“We’re always going to be killers, though.” Armando replies, “whether you like it or not in death or life. That’s just what we were made to be.”

“And it’s sad that you can’t see that you can be much more than this.” You tell, “Maybe someday you’ll see that.”

Armando hums, “Are you supposed to be my guardian Angel?”

“Oh, I don’t know about that amigo.” You rest your head back against the headrest, “you did say we were killers and I don’t think murders get to hold angel status.”

“Icarus was a fallen Angel though.”

“Touché.”

A small silence falls over the car ride while being surrounded by the busy life style of Miami. To find quality farms required traveling a good distance so Armando appreciated the silence, to gather his thoughts together. He could have gotten there faster if he purchased another bike but he was very limited now being underneath everyone’s eyes.

With the way Armando drove, it felt like less than over an hour where the palm trees started to fade and the grass roads become more prominent. He’s getting off the exit and there’s a lot less traffic around this area, which worked in Armando’s favor since you knew he preferred to go for the silent kill but if it had to get rowdy he could handle that as well. If there were kids there, which you hoped there wouldn’t be many, you prayed that they would be leaving the site before Armando got into position.

“Would you look at that,” Armando pulls your attention away from the passenger window, “Lime green jeep gladiator, we’re just in time.”

You deeply inhale, sitting up in the passenger seat while Armando keeps his distance, “get the case ready.”

“No.”

The dark haired man with the thick facial hair cuts his eyes at you, “fine. Take the wheel, then.”

And his eyes told you not to argue with him, as he twists to the back of the vehicle to grab said item.

“There’s witnesses.” You state, letting go of the wheel as Armando plops the case right into your lap.

Armando nods, “I’ll aim for the tires, make it seem like they got a flat.”

“…do you know if their kid is with them?”

“I know how to aim,” he argues, moving one hand to the case in your lap to unlock for his gun of choice along with a silencer.

Which didn’t answer your question.

He’s getting ready to roll down his window, your eyes go into slits as a black Escalade cuts you two off. You hold onto the arm of the door as Armando tries to swerve to the right as the Escalade also break checks him.

“Arman,” you start, it’s a feeling that felt like the rolling of waves in the beginning of a storm but warm and you haven’t felt warmth in some time.

He’s slamming on breaks himself, that you feel your toes curl just waiting to slam into the gladiator. Yet the gladiator is off to the left in front of the Escalade that’s attempting to shield your view of the car.

“The hell?” Armando questions and you feel your breathing halt.

In front of you was a tree blocking the pathway to the orchard.

“T-This is it. This is what I tried to warn you of.” You say with shaky breath as you glance to meet Armando’s eyes.

There’s a furrow in Armando’s brows, trying to decipher what you were saying to him. He’s caught off guard by you as he’s yanked out of the driver’s side. You feel a pull to your right, which made you frown because why could you feel this touch when it didn’t belong to Armando?

You’re shoved to your knees beside Armando who’s trying to move the hands that hold him, away until a gun is placed to his temple. The doors to the gladiator are opened, revealing your killer and her wife, who quickly grabs hold of their five year old son.

“No. This isn’t right. I killed you.” She pointed at you, still keeping her distance behind what you and Armando believed to be her bodyguards.

Armando keeps his head still but his eyes move to peek at you.

“You can see me?” You whisper before looking around at your surroundings, “…we shouldn’t be here.”

Your killer laughs, “no, you shouldn’t.” She steps forward, eyes are harsh as she glared at you before shushing her partner while she moves in closer, “did you two come here to kill me and my family? Big mistake.”

Armando shakes his head while admitting, “not your family, just you.”

You wish you could have shushed him in this moment too.

There’s a film of gray that spills over the sky followed by the rustle of trees. You don’t feel safe and not just because everyone can suddenly see you now. Where you resided when you weren’t with Armando, allowed you to see many things you still couldn’t explain. Perhaps it took time to make sense and you didn’t have anyone that worked as a guide. In essence this was just like life.

No answers and just winging it.

However you’ve seen this scene plenty of times before. The getting stuck by a road blockage, always a large tree with vehicles trying to find a way around. It was a cycle before they arrived to the town.

“The town.” You inform causing all eyes to turn to you, “we need to leave, now.”

Your killer huffs, “you keep saying that. You want to leave so bad, here.”

And with that she snatched the gun from one of her bodyguards and aims right at you, firing the gun. At least for this death, you don’t even feel it but you can only imagine how traumatizing this must have been for Armando.

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊

Waking with a deep gasp that feels as if it’s been punched into your chest, you jolt upwards.

“Whoa, you’re okay.” Armando’s voice is heard to the left of you, his hand rests on your thigh covered blanket.

Your eyes are wide while they connect with his dark ones.

A woman’s voice remarks next, “holy shit! You weren’t lying…and there’s no bullet wound, not even a scar.” Her thumb swipes over your forehead, which you slap away.

“Sorry.” She raised her hands in surrender, “I should introduce myself, I’m Kristi. Armando brought you here in hopes that you’d come back to life. He uh, proved me wrong about you being dead since apparently you were already dead?”

You flick your eyes back to Armando who takes hold of your hand and that’s when you notice they’re stained, “that’s right…”

A click of a gun is heard next, making all eyes turn to a dark skinned man in a blazer.

Not this again!

“Boyd! I don’t think that’s necessary.” Kristi tries to reason.

Boyd scoffs, “I think it is. Sure we get visitors but not ones like her. So you’re gonna tell me the truth and not what I want to fucking hear, are you one of those things because I’ve been waiting to trap one?”

Armando quickly moves to stand in front of the bed, blocking this Boyd guy’s view of you, “Even if she was whatever you’re accusing her to be, why would she tell the person that has a gun pointed at her?”

“That’s fair,” Boyd shrugs, “we just like to have some sort of answers in this fucked up town.”

“Join the club,” you laugh, “since I died, nothing has made much sense. And now I’m back alive or at least somewhat? In this place I’ve only had visions of?”

Boyd starts to lower his gun and shares a glance with the wavy haired woman, who introduced herself as: Kristi.

“…I think we have a lot to discuss before we let you two freely roam the town.”

Armando glances at you from over his shoulder as he speaks, “the town…is that the official name of this depressing looking place?”

“It’s easier to call it as such.” Kristi informs.

Armando realizes that you’re more connected than you let on.

“Sorry about this,” Boyd says as he cuffs Armando who’s confused, “we found some bodies that don’t belong here, along with a young boy who needs looking after, and it’s obvious you were all together and involved in some shit. So I’m going to have to separate you two while we get some more information.”

“Are you fucken serious?” Armando gruffs, “we’ll talk, we have nothing to hide but it seems like you dumbasses do.”

“Yeah alright, wise guy.” Boyd roughly turns Armando around, “I’ll be back before night falls to have a chat with you.” He explains as he shortly looks at you before turning to Kristi, “Make sure she doesn’t leave your sight.”

Armando snickers, “good luck with that, my amiga walks through walls for fun.”

Only that was something you understood, a small smile appearing on the corner of your lips as Boyd and Kristi share a frown, before Boyd leads Armando away from your sight.

“Don’t worry, Armando is in good hands with the sheriff.”

You snort, “that actually exists in this make believe place?”

Kristi pulls up a chair beside you, pulling her stethoscope from around her neck, “unfortunately this place isn’t just in your head.”

A growl rips through your stomach just as she’s scooting forward to listen to your heartbeat and breathing, “When’s the last time you’ve eaten?”

“Immortals don’t really get to eat. We just taste.” You answer.

Kristi nods and pushes back, disappearing behind a curtain for a moment before returning with a piece of a fruit, “Well try this for a change.”

You take the apple from her and wipe it against your sweater with slight laughter. Holding the red fruit towards the light, you bring it to your lips and take a bite. The crunch is almost as satisfying as its taste and your eyes close while you chew. “Honey crisp?”

“I…actually don’t know.” Kristi says, “Food has just gotten better around here…But something tells me I should trust your instincts.”

You smile and breathe in as Kristi places the tool against your chest before moving to your back.

“Tell me something…I have a feeling that your boyfriend—

“Save your breath if you’re trying to hint at shooting your shot at him.” You dismiss.

It’s Kristi’s turn to laugh, “oh no…um…just trying to make conversation. And my fiancée actually works here with me. She’s doing inventory but you’ll probably see her later since I’ll be hiking sometime tomorrow.”

You nod, “Hiking? Armando and I aren’t really hiking people. We grew up in Mexico City where rural wasn’t what we were really used to but he wanted to go to the apple orchard today.”

Kristi hums, “doing some good ol’ apple picking huh? Never would have guessed.” She finished with a laugh.

“Guess we can be full of surprises.”

Kristi sits back in the chair, “you can say that again…there’s no heartbeat when I listen to your chest but there’s a sound when I listen to your back.”

“A sound?” You press.

“Like…a whirling sound?”

You tilt your head to the side, which makes Kristi stand and hand you the end of the tool to place into your ears, raising one arm so the wire can travel underneath your arm, she stretches the stethoscope to place at your back.

“Breathe in for me.”

You do.

“Then out and listen,” Kristi continues to instruct.

Following through again, you exhale all the way out awaiting the sound. The whirling sound, that sounds like wind in a snowstorm. A force against the quiet that has no thudding like a normal heart would and it’s so eerie that you know Kristi can’t explain it either.

Taking another bite from the honeycrisp, you continue to listen while you breathe as you normally would and it’s still there every time you exhale. The season you left behind was autumn in a humid climate, you originally passed in late spring, and now as you got into the town and from what you can see from the window, winter was approaching.

Perhaps your heart was the timer for this town?

“Well…” you say around chewing, “either we’re going to be clueless for a while or I’m going to be answer to saving everybody’s lives. Let the party begin, chica!”

Kristi takes the medical device back and plops back down in the chair, offering a small smile. She didn’t know you yet or the guy you came here with but part of Kristi felt like maybe things will start to become a little bit clearer.

So she saved her breath and hoped.

How much more hope can someone have in a place like this?

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊

Back at the station, Boyd is pacing in front of the jail cell he’s holding Armando in.

Boyd summarized, “So you kill people for a living?”

“I did.” Armando’s monotone was off putting as he sat comfortably in the jail cell.

Boyd shakes his head and corrects, “you do. You stopped for a little bit because you had no other choice but then relapsed at the sake of your…your girlfriend? Wife? Fiancée?

“My family.” Armando rectifies while Boyd didn’t see the difference or really need the specifics.

“Are you some sort of serial killer?” Boyd quizzes, finding Armando demeanor to be too at ease.

“No. I’m many things but that.”

Boyd’s eyes are in slits as he spits out, “Are you unalive too because there’s no way you didn’t get injured while taking four people out?”

Armando raises his hand, “just more blood to scrub. The real person we should be worried about is her. I told you she was murdered in prison months ago and has been haunting me ever since. Now we get to some fucken fallen tree in the road and everybody but me can see her? That sound right to you, sheriff?”

Boyd laughs, “oh you’re gonna learn very quickly that nothing in this town is right.”

“She said she had visions of this place before in spurts.” Armando reveals with his elbows digging into his knees, “And how she never wanted to be here, how she feared that once I didn’t need to see her anymore this is exactly where she would end up. That some type of power was telling her this would be her eternity and I guess mine too if I didn’t get my shit together.”

“W-what does that mean? If you died? We’re not dead. She maybe but we’re not.”

“How do you know?”

“There’s gotta be missing signs of us. People looking for us. We’ve all been gone too long for there not to be.” Boyd mumbled to himself but Armando feels as if he isn’t too sure.

If that is the case, then that means Mike is probably losing his shit right about now.

Armando inhales and sits back, “looks like we got a lot to learn about each then, right sheriff? And I think the first person you actually want to start with…is her.”

Boyd doesn’t doubt that since Armando didn’t hold anything back. He quickly learned that the man was in his late twenties, had heavy resentment for both of his parents, especially the one he just learned was actually his parent and was now stuck working with him to pay for his crimes, which he’s been trained to basically be a killer with the friend beside him, and had no issue turning back into that person but was it worth it?

“Why do I feel like you’re about to throw her under the bus? If she’s family then why stab her in the back?”

Armando shrugs his shoulders, “It’s not stabbing when you do research and hold your cards close. I know what she is but I don’t know much about this place, only she does. Which is why I’m telling you, you need to let me out of this cage if you know what’s good for you.”

Boyd held Armando’s stare and it only took a few moments for him to believe a complete stranger, which is not something he usually did.

⁺‧₊˚ ཐི⋆♱⋆ཋྀ ˚₊

When they get back to the clinic, they’re greeted at the door by Kristi who waves them in with a finger to her lips. A frown appears on Boyd’s face as he stops by the door while Armando pushes his way by. He stops at the doorway where a blonde reaches for his shoulder to stop him.

From where they stand, he can see you sleeping on your side. Apple rind fallen from your fingertips, as a white as snow singular wing is arched up and out from your shoulder.

“That’s new and I don’t get out much.” The blonde whispers from Armando’s left.

He folds his arms and turns to meet Boyd and Kristi’s eyes with raised brows.

‘Told you so,’ is written all over his face as he moved to step into the room but the blonde, who touched him again tries to get him not to move any further.

He looks at her hand and then at her face.

She suggests, “I think we should give her some space. Until she’s alert and we see how she reacts, if it’s still out.”

“Marielle’s right, That’s not a bad idea.” Kristi observes.

Armando shrugs Marielle’s hand from him, “how long has she been like that? She normally doesn’t sleep…because she can’t.”

“Not long.” Kristi tells as she glanced at Boyd whose face held complete stress, “Maybe we should get Kenny down here or even Sara?”

Boyd immediately shakes his head, “No to Kenny. We don’t need to bother him right now, we can handle it.”

“You don’t know that, sheriff.” Armando disagrees with a humorless laugh.

“Well, thanks for your load of fucking confidence, Armando.”

“I’m just saying.” Armando leans against the doorway, eyeing you again while crossing one leg over the other, “we…mainly her might have just changed the entire game.”

Boyd clenched his fist and stalked out of the clinic to swing at the air and let out a string of curse words.

Armando rolls his head to look at the two women who peer at the direction where the sheriff walked off too. It was so quiet over here that everyone heard his frustrations.

“Is he always like that? And he’s a sheriff? You might need to check his blood pressure.” Armando mentions while Marielle shakes her head at him and Kristi rolls her eyes.

“You’re strangely calm about this, guy with the bloody hands. You should clean that up by the way.” Marielle says.

Armando unfolds his hands to look at the stains and moves into the main area in search of a sink. “Someone’s got to learn how to not lose their shit and I have a hunch that it’s not that many people around here.”

Kristi defends Boyd, “Okay Mr. Calm, we’ll see how long that lasts once you see what the night brings.”

Armando gives a wicked smile to the two women as he shakes out his damp hands, “I’ve seen plenty in my twenty-eight years and I’ve never been afraid of the dark.”

And with that he moves, despite Marielle’s protest, to sit right beside you, almost keeping guard of you this time around.

[bitter-sweet-coffee]

you might think that based on my espaveness that espio is the best chaotix member for the babylon rogues to bond with but that’s a lie:

it’s charmy.

jet and charmy cousin-vibe shenanigans where they sit and play minecraft for 36 hours straight and ramble about only ever wanting to fly forever and ever, bonding over how being the youngest doesn’t make you naive

storm and charmy where the former teaches the latter all about cooking and music and pop culture and being a strong good teammate even if the rest of the world sees you as useless

*inhales* charmy and wave inwhich wave, a character who people label as not kid friendly, is absolutely OBSESSED with spending time with charmy. playing video games, teaching him basic house repairs or drums, movie marathons, making potato chip tier lists, etc…

[true-blue-sonic]

This one's also for Espio and Silver or whoever you see fit! <3

But uh, 5, 8, 17 and 18?

Thanks! ^-^

Espio:

5. What do they consider red flags in a partner/friend?

I think a person who feels deceitful to him. Espio is described as being soulful and wary and apparently can "feel" things going on around him, so the moment he catches bad vibes, I figure he'll be put on edge immediately.

8. What would break them?

Perhaps losing Vector and Charmy, and then even more if he could have done anything to prevent it but wasn't able to for whatever reason.

17. What part of their past are they most ashamed of?

I can imagine Espio might have picked some hasty battles before that he definitely did not think through at the time, and where later it turned out he was wrong or went way overboard (a la Sonic Heroes a bit, haha). I can imagine he'd use those moments to chastise himself for needing to be more mindful and less eager to fight!

18. What part of their past are they most proud of?

All the training he went through that has made him the person he is now: a capable warrior who eats danger and thrills for breakfast, haha. Even if there is always more to learn, Espio's got a solid basis to him already, and I can imagine he's proud of that.

Silver:

5. What do they consider red flags in a partner/friend?

I really struggled to think of something here, but I think a person who does not keep, or actively breaks, their promises. Silver is a very honest guy, so somebody who keeps claiming they'll do/won't do thing X yet always come back on their word will throw him off for sure!

8. What would break them?

Having to live through a moment post-complete-world-destruction, wherein he didn't manage to stop a threat in time. So not the moment leading up to that, but the moment after he failed and everything went to hell.

17. What part of their past are they most ashamed of?

Has game!Silver ever really shown shame for anything? He's been embarrassed before, sure, but also like... once with Amy in '06 and a little bit in one Sonic Channel story. If an official bio or something came out and said Silver is immune to feeling shame, I'd believe it in a heartbeat XD Hmm, but maybe he realises that the way he came off in the events of the Rivals games was not exactly helpful in fostering a good bond with people who could have been his allies. With the knowledge of who they are and the friendships he has built with them, he might feel bad about that. A little bit, at least, haha!

18. What part of their past are they most proud of?

That he's ensured the safety of the future multiple times, through his powers and also being a strong fighter who never gives up! <3

Regarding that ask you got about the character ages, this obsession people have with them loops right back into highly disturbing territory not only due to shipping but also because everything needs to be nuclear 1970s style 2 parents and 1.8 children who are all siblings familiar relationships these days instead. Like, to bring up the example of Vector and Espio... personally I find the idea of a twenty year old being a DAD, a FATHER, not brothers but a clear dynamic of parent and child, to a sixteen year old far more disturbing than just shipping the two of them, aged up or ages undefined if that makes you feel more comfortable about it. Especially since nine out of ten times that sixteen year old is shown to be far more mature and on top of things than the twenty year old... why the hell does he need a dad? HE could be dad to both Vector and Charmy and personality-wise I could see that work out more!

True. It's the same logic that destroyed the trope of the found family: instead of being "this group of people are not related in any way but their relationship is close enough that they consider each other a loving family", now it's "this character is the mom, this character is the dad, this character is the brother...". Basically recreating the model of the nuclear family and shoving characters in every role regardless if they fit or not, because it's convenient.

Vector being Espio's dad makes zero sense. He's the leader of Team Chaotix, yes, but that doesn't make him a father figure. Hell, I'm not even sure Vector could be a father figure to Charmy! He's just not the type.

Vector and Espio are way too close in age, and the latter absolutely isn't the type that needs to be babysat. I actually like their dynamic as it is, on the surface it looks like Espio is the one with the braincell, but they're actually both smart and they notice different things. Also, I never got the feeling that the team leaders hold any actual authority over the others? Like, I don't think there's any power imbalance between Vector and Espio lol, if Espio ends up following Vector despite disagreeing with him it's just because Vector has a strong, brash personality :P

I wish people could simply say "I don't vibe with Vecpio" and leave it at that, instead of coming up with these excuses to pretend their dislike needs to be categorically respected.

Sometimes I look back to my beginnings. This is my first drawing of Elio and Oliver (Timmy and Armie). At the time, I never thought I would be using a translator every day 😅. My English still hasn't improved. I can read the English text if I take the time, but I can hardly hear what they are saying in the video. I feel a little sad at such times, but I know without language that they love each other. Their love vibes are that strong 💖. It's wonderful to be able to share my feelings with you through my drawings. Thank you all for your kindness 🙏. I love this fandom. #callmebyyourname #cmbyn #cmbyndrawing #cmbynfanart #elioandoliver #oliverandelio #eliver #charmie #armieandtimmy #timmyandarmie #armiehammer #timotheechalamet #egba #supportarmiehammer #loveislove #アーミーハマー #ティモシーシャラメ #君の名前で僕を呼んで

[star-critter]

I'm tempted to ask for your thoughts on my rarepair, but I should probably not... 😂

Instead, top 5 ships and why, go!

Just gonna say this now : Jewel×Bark is absolutely adorable! 🥺 I'm still learning about them, but what I have learned, I absolutely adore! 💛💙 [/pos /g]

♡

Top 5 Ships? Welp time to expose myself! 😅 [/pos /lh /nm]

♡

1. StarKnife / ⭐️�� / Starline × Mimic

[I ship this ignoring to canon events of Issue 3 & 4 of Bad Guys hfyhd]

It's a fun pair to write. Cleverly Charismatic Scientists and Aggressively Paranoid Assassin. It's basically a haters to lovers dynamic with mere complete opposites that accidentally grow soft for one another. It oddly ended up being a comfort ship for me.

Also their red & blue lol. (Mimic is blue, not purple and I will die on this hill)

♡

2. Mimic × Fang / Fimic(????)

I've said once, I'll say it again. It's Legimate Threat × Dumb@$$ and I live for it.

I originally thought of the duo platonically, but then it quickly spiraled into shipping. It's just a funny pairing that I can use to fuse the timeline's and have a good time.

It's also interesting to write if you take them in a similar direction of Mimic canonically catfishing some guy for 10 years, but take out the catfishing part and make it legitimate dating.

♡

3. Whispangle / Whisper × Tangle

It's your hurt/comfort, Introvert × Outrovert Sapphic duo that can kick butt! What more could you ask for? 😊

♡

4. SurgeAmy / Surge × Amy / LightningRose

Oddly enough, I have never been to big on shipping Amy with anyone. But then SurgeAmy came along and changed my mind.

I don't exactly know how to explain why I ship it, but the "I can make them better. | I can make her worse." + Cottagecore × Punk vibes are strong with these two.

[BTW : I headcanon Surge to be Non Binary! ^-^]

♡

5. Nite × Don / Midday

Yes I'm talking about those two gay birds that have only ever appeared in 2 issues so far and are canonically together- THEY ARE ADORABLE AND I'M SO HAPPY THEY GET TO BE CANON-

Also, the fact that they babysat Charmy while Vector & Espio were returning libary books just fuels the found family vibes the Chaotix got. Nite & Don are like Charmy's Gay uncles or something and ya'll cannot tell me otherwise :3

Still Woozy Live

[mafaldaknows]

Literally so tired of seeing charmie blogs latching onto hearstopper memes because they currently have no content. 🙄

Hello, Anon:

You could’ve used “we” instead of “they”.

But you didn’t.

So why are you reading enough Charmie blogs to know that Heartstopper (2022) is getting a lot of traction in Charmie blogs if you’re not even a Charmie?

Here are three possible solutions to what is definitely a “you” problem, Anon:

SCROLL PAST THIS AND ANY OTHER POSTS YOU DON’T WANT TO SEE

UNFOLLOW THE OFFENDING BLOGS

BLOCK ALL BLOGS WHICH DO NOT SUIT YOUR SPECIFIC SENSIBILITIES

Sometimes we get in the way of ourselves when there’s a really simple answer to a dilemma, right in front of us.

Thanks for your comment. 😃💙⚡️💛🙃

[true-blue-sonic]

Good morning/ afternoon/ evening Blue!

For the ask game

2, 3, 5, 6, 7 + Silver and Espio

Good afternoon! ^-^

Silver

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

I think Meteor Smash's existence; that is generally one of the first things that pops in my mind when I think about the skills Silver possesses. To me, it's an amazing showcase of just how terrifyingly powerful Silver is: that ball of debris weighs tons for sure, and yet he manages to keep the hundreds of items it's made out of together and in movement while trying to simultaneously crush Sonic with another canister and keeping himself flying in front of it at the speed of Sonic's dashing. And then when Sonic hits him and he ends right underneath it, all it does is knock him out, after a battle wherein he ate the road like five times prior. Physically and psychokinetically, Silver is STRONG-strong: I guess the canon thing I like about him thus is how extremely powerful he's always portrayed as in the games. You can bet I'll be playing the heck out of Silver's boss battle when SXSG releases on the Switch!

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

I'd pick '06 as a whole, except I feel like a strong case can be made that everyone in that game was just foolish and the plot generally full with unexplained details and holes. However, this is Silver's debut game, and the perception he gave off there (even when later games have completely disproven those misconceptions) still permeate the ideas people have about him, I think. For a more concrete example, I really dislike the scene in TSR wherein Sonic is bothering him and Silver just timidly misunderstands what Sonic is talking about. Silv, you know what smack-talking is, my pal! You've done nothing but in every single other game you appeared before! You smack-talk in Team Sonic Racing!!! So yeah. XD

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

One Way Dream by Jat Cosmic and DESERT STAR; it's my go-to Espilver song :>

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

I also adore lovely sceneries and blue skies, and seeing people happy makes me happy as well!

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

I always appreciate it when people, even when they indicate that Silver is not a favourite character of them by far, acknowledge how strong he is and pay attention to the traits around him that I like (such as his desire for justice, his helpful attitude, and so on). And I've seen quite a few nice posts about his characterisation lately, especially some with info from Japanese sources that I have no knowledge about; those have been intriguing to read!

Espio:

2. Favorite canon thing about this character?

I really like his role as the stoic and collected ninja contrasting Vector and Charmy's zaniness, while Espio in truth is just as goofy as they are. Plus the fact that he is a ninja in general, because I think ninjas are cool :>

3. Least favorite canon thing about this character?

Nothing I can think of from the top of my head! The Chaotix to me have always been solidly characterised in the games, and though I do wish we'd see them more often, I think that is an argument that can be made for more cast members. Hmm, I guess the long tongue from Fighters, then: it's debatable how canon that still is due to the Chaotix apparently getting reimagined for Heroes, but it is out there XD I just find it creepy, haha!

5. What's the first song that comes to mind when you think about them?

One Way Dream still, though also Cherry Blossoms from Hyper Potions, due to it having a Japanese-ish vibe to me.

6. What's something you have in common with this character?

LIKING SILVER

Not a lot, I fear. Espio's far more collected and skilled than I am XD Rip, I guess the part in Colours DS where Vector (after extensive bickering) is like "AND WHERE THE HECK IS ESPIO" before finding out Espio had just been standing there the whole time in silence might fit, haha. I do sometimes keep to myself a lot!

7. What's something the fandom does when it comes to this character that you like?

Also nothing at the top of my head here, I fear; between Silver and Espio, I get the feeling Silver gets a lot more fandom attention. So I guess I like all the Espilver fanfics and artwork that people put out there, because I love seeing them together! ^-^

[cringeyvanillamilk]

Hhhmmm so let's say that modern coffee shop au black bulls are all more or less anime/manga/cartoon fans what would be their favorite series?

You've probably waited months for this response, I'm sorry anon-!

Here's what I think they'd watch!

Asta: Naruto

Need I say more? Underdog main character who refuses to give up and works hard to make a name for himself despite being stigmatized by society? Naruto is Asta's hero.

Noelle: Akatsuki no Yona

I feel like Noelle would relate so much to Yona. Seeing her grow from a spoiled princess to a strong female character would inspire Noelle to do the same! I can see Noelle being a big fan of anime with strong female leads. Strong meaning development, not just physical.

Magna: Tokyo Revenger

I feel like Magna would find familiarity with the delinquent lifestyle that occurs within the anime. However, what really hooked Magna was the emphasis on loyalty and bonds. As a loyal boi, he’d understand the lengths the characters will go for their gang. And he’d obviously root for Takemichi to save his girl!

Luck: Hunter x Hunter

The sinister slow burn of Hunter x Hunter along with dynamic fighting scenes would peak Luck's interest. His favorite character would obviously be Killua, but he’d probably relate more with Gon personality wise. Which is a big yikes. BUT!! He’d like to fight Hisoka in real life.

Charmy: Food Wars

Alright, who saw this coming? What can I say? Charmy loves an anime that respects the art of cooking!  

Finral: Horimiya

Finral would be a fan of various romance and harem anime, but I think he’d enjoy Horimiya the most. He’d appreciate the themes of not judging a book by its cover and how it tackles romance realistically.

Vanessa: Perfect Blue

 I can see Vanessa being into more mature anime. Specifically mature anime that centers around a female lead. I know you specifically asked for an anime “series”, but I think Perfect Blue is the perfect anime (movie) for her. It’s a psychological thriller that touches upon public image and identity.

Grey: Princess Jellyfish

This anime was honestly made for Grey. It not only touches upon various types of otakus, but it also contains a lot of great characters that I’m sure Grey will enjoy watching and be comforted by. Especially when she can see herself in some of the characters!

Gordon: One Piece

THE POWER OF NAKAMAS!! Gordon loves the optimistic and idealistic tone of One Piece. Gordon would love the themes of friendship and hope. That no matter what background you come from, you can still fight for your dreams. 

Gauche: Demon Slayer

I feel like gore is something Gauche wouldn’t mind seeing in his anime. But what specifically got him hooked to Demon Slayer was the significant themes of family. Seeing Tanjirou finding a way to cure his little sister is something he can see himself do if Marie were to turn into a demon. The different types of familial dynamics within the story might also interest him as well.

Yami: Gintama

Gintama radiates Yami’s type of humor. It has a lot of toilet jokes and gags. It’s the type of anime that doesn't take itself seriously… until it does. When it gets more serious, it hits differently. Similar to how Yami is as a character. He’d vibe so much with Gintama himself.

Zora: My Hero Academia

In this modern AU, Zora is secretly a superhero comic book fan, so obviously he’d be into My Hero Academia. He’d wish people like All Might actually exist in real life. Really vibes with Aizawa though.

Henry: Spy X Family

I think Henry would be a big fan of the found family trope! And what better anime to showcase this trope than Spy X Family!

Nacht: Neon Genesis Evangelion 

This anime is a rollercoaster ride that Nacht would definitely enjoy. The way it subverts anime tropes and dives deep into the human psyche of the characters is what makes this anime fun to watch. Not only does it use religious motifs and twist it, but it's an anime that isn’t afraid to push boundaries and make you feel uncomfortable.

[the-black-bulls]

For the ask game, may we have A, O, and P please? Thank you!

sure thing! thank you for the ask!

A - Ships that you currently like a lot. (They don’t have to be OTPs because not everyone has OTPs.) Friendships, pairings, threesomes, etc. are allowed.

ships: I’m a multishipper who isn’t much of a shipper in the first place so it’s hard for me to say I like a ship a lot because I know I’d get tired of it the next week or month. currently though I find myself enjoying ships I didn’t have strong opinions before like magna/sol, luck/sally, charmy/yuno, and finral/vanessa.

friendships: magna and luck? asta and liebe? or the recent yami and nacht? that’s bromance at its finest for you and I'm all for it! oh and I vibe with a lot of potential dynamics like gauche and zora or luck and charmy or asta and grey!

O - Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?

uhm, in another world where the bulls are aware of nacht's existence and have met him a few times, but they absolutely refuse to talk or even mention his name, asta and noelle - the two newbies - would get super curious and try to investigate about the mysterious vice captain everyone seem to hold a deep grudge against, only for the bulls to pull a disney move and sing the "we don't talk about bruno nacht-o" while venting off.

in my defense the question says "at random" and I had to come up with something to work with this song.

P - Invent a random AU for any fandom (we always need more ideas).

yes we do!

ok so y’all remember how the magic parliament wanted to put the blame of the elf attacks on asta and used him as a scapegoat? let’s say that they did, and it worked, and julius couldn’t help him, so the black bulls had to step in and fight against the parliament; results? the one squad known as the black bulls will be officially disbanded, the members will be stripped off from their titles, and then they will all be exiled to the forsaken realm where they won’t be allowed to step foot neither on the common nor the noble realms.

this turned out to be the worst decision ever made in a courtroom because one month forward the one kingdom known as clover kingdom lost a third chunk of its territory as towns in the forsaken realm, filled of citizens and refugees alike, all declared their loyalty to the freshly created kingdom.

asta was apparently the leader.

short story not, after the courtroom asta had a lot of complicated feelings and said “fuck it,” he went through a self-searching, self-reflecting journey then came back with the conclusion that perhaps what he needed is to go back to basics and start working from his home, so he went to each and every town in the realm helping people and refugees from other kingdoms with the bulls tagging along; they built houses, provided food, taught kids, cleared dungeons, shared knowledge, and all that... life is better than ever, people are happier than ever, and the bulls are freer than ever.

asta was as much surprised as everyone else when people waked up one day and decided that they’ll follow him as their new leader, with hage as their capital and licht’s skull as the inspiration of what would be the kingdom’s flag.

because no one treated this new kingdom seriously at first and just made fun of “them peasants acting like they’re a big deal smh”, it was commonly referred to as the “joker kingdom”

there’s more to this au and I may talk about it in the future.

We go legend (yeah)

We go legend

Codeine legend (yeah, yeah)

Microphone legend (whoa)

We go legend, yeah

I go legend, I mean, Michael Jackson (hol' up)

Prince in action, okay, I'm an original, you just a reenactment

Okay, peace sign and flashes

I live that picture perfect life you lie 'bout in your captions

(Mmm-mmm-mmm)

When I was down, I swear they made me feel inferior (straight up)

Judgin' me by my outside, that's just my exterior (straight up)

Not seeing what I was made of, that's my interior (real shit)

Didn't let that shit break me, instead, I broke the barriers

So fuck all y'all, praise Allah

It's my perog' like Bobby bruh

Massages by Nautia

In my castle like Mario

I get in shit, my heart and soul

You boys got no cardio

All of my soldiers rock army clothes😉

'Head of my time like Marty though

Watchin the Rick and Morty show, while I smoke

All these bands, still fuck her on the floor

Came from the dirt, all I had to do was grow

Remember when my shit got repossessed (damn)

That shit had us workin' like we possessed (goddamn)

With my best friend (boy)

7-11 (boy)

We go legend, we go legend (yeah, yeah)

We go legend, we go legend (alright)

We go legend, we go legend (yeah, yeah)

With my best friend (whoa)

7-11, yeah

We go legend (go), we go legend (go), yeah (yeah)

We go legend (go), we go legend (go legend)

We go legend, we go legend, yeah (straight up)

With my best friend (alright)

7-11 (whoa)

We go legend (yeah)

We go legend

Codeine legend (yeah, yeah)

Microphone legend

We go legend, yeah

Happy Valentine’s Day ❤️🧿

I believe this is still relevant …  Happy Valentine’s Day!

[lea-andres]

vavokilla concept:

so like, after zavok gets his ass kicked and sent to jail in idw, what if cream went to visit him? she was the one initially talking to him before he got his ass kicked. and everyone at the resistance is like ??? about why she visits, but she does

zavok is equally confused but it’s nice to get away from his cellmates so it works for him. she brings him baked goods and talks to him until they have something of a Game Plan relationship

he then asks once about how strong she is and why that might be for someone so young, and she explains what happened to her chao and mother and how espio lost his family too, and whisper lost tangle, etc… and how she had to be strong for characters like amy and silver, even sonic who was isolated from his friends

and i dunno. maybe that changes something for zavok. the way he views family, or even his adversaries as a whole. it makes him rethink how this brave young child isn’t scared of him because she’s lived through worse, but she shouldn’t have

maybe she mentions emerl, or cosmo. it depends on the lore being used but it’s something too, not to mention her frequent separation from her mother in-game.

zavok gets out on good behaviour and cream will always invite him over for tea parties, which is how he meets vanilla. she isn’t phased or worried like everyone else because she trusts her daughter’s judgment and knows that if cream likes zavok, he has potential to be good, so vanilla will be nice to him too

i’ll probably call it here because the chaotix shenanigans will ruin the wholesome vibe but like… the tldr is that vector loves vanilla and buries the hatchet to be the bigger person and accept zavok alongside vanilla and cream, which forces espio to bite his tongue. charmy knew the whole time thanks to cream, but was sold on the ship instantly aka the first time vector met reformed-zavok, because now he can have more parental figures, and whether vector knew it or not, the reason he wasn’t jealous of zavok for being close to vanilla is because he wanted both of them 😳

👀👀👀👀

Vavokilla was also a joke, why is it even more interesting than just Vavok! @_@

Headcanons for what everyone did while training in the heart kingdom?

Hm, now there's a thought! We really don't know what the Cloverians did while in Heart Kingdom, do we? For all the filler we got in the anime, they didn't expand on the time spent in Heart Kingdom. (Not to shade the anime but it's true!)

To be clear, for these headcanons, I'm going to discuss the characters shown to be training within Heart Kingdom based on the anime. Not all of the blurbs are the same length. The headcanons are just what I come up with.

Thanks for the ask, anon! Thank you for giving me something to think about! Hopefully, you enjoy the headcanons I came up with.

..........

Asta: While in Heart Kingdom, Asta is as sweet as ever. He would write plenty of letters to Hage talking about how beautiful the land is. He'd include crude drawings of the cool magic and environments he sees in Heart. He might also try writing to Yuno to invite him over. Asta wants to see his #1 rival more often and believes Yuno would thrive if he trained in Heart. Aside from that, I can imagine Asta going on nature hikes through the jungles because, well, Asta does have a tiny bit of "the child that wanders off in the grocery store" vibes. I'm not saying that to be mean, that's just what it is!

Noelle: I see Noelle as someone to take it easy when not training. She's not completely lazy though. She's a princess so she'd probably occupy her time by learning about Heart Kingdom's history. It's founding, legends, and other local traditions. I can also see her dropping loads of cash on souvenirs to her family, the Bulls and her blood family. For the Bulls not in Heart, she she'd want them to be able to enjoy it indirectly. And although she isn't close to her siblings, she's trying to mend their broken bond and small gifts might be a good start.

Luck: This battle addict would've been asking the Spirit Guardians to fight him throughout the six month time skip. Gadjah and Smurik ignore Luck. Potrof and Sarado tell Luck that they're strong but it's to protect, not fight. Floga almost goes for it but then he spies one of his colleagues in his periphery, shaking their head disapprovingly. When not looking for a fight, Luck is probably looking for fun things to do with Magna once they finally reunite. Secret groves to brawl in, daring food to eat, anything that would be fun to do with his closest friend.

Charmy: Charmy being herself, she would've spent her time sampling all the delicious fresh food found in Heart Kingdom. But she's also sociable. When she gets something to eat, she probably has a lengthy conversation with whoever is sharing with her. A gourmand and a chef, she would compliment the taste of the fresh ingredients and ask questions about local recipes. She'd also be willing to share cooking techniques from Clover, whether or not asked.

Secre/Nero: I think when it comes to free time, Secre would make trips to Clover. She's watched time fly in the kingdom but she never got to experience much of it being stuck as a bird. She would visit old places she went to with Lumiere. She'd want to see what's changed and what's stayed the same, to finally reconcile the different world she's now living in.

Finral: This good man wasn't just banging his head against any available surface to prevent himself from flirting with other women while in Heart Kingdom. A part of me imagines Finral as a poet, making observations to include in his next piece. He might try to pick up some new skills to distract him from girls give him more ways to kill time and have something show off to the others when he comes back.

Mimosa: Mimosa is enjoying the distance between her and Kirsch. She's free to enjoy Heart Kingdom her way instead of having to be dragged along by her brother. I could also see her getting involved in community betterment projects. Like, say, clearing out a section of forest hit by some plant disease to keep it from spreading. She is a giving and friendly person so I think she could easily get caught up in Heart's sense of community.

Leopold: Lots and lots of letters to Fuegoleon and Mereoleona. Correspondence with his brother is frequent. His sister, not so much. He might also be like Noelle and get souvenirs to bring back. Maybe or once or twice, Leopold might try to sneak a conversation with Lolopechka and Undine to talk spirit stuff in Fuegoleon's place.

Charlotte: Since it's shown that Charlotte has a garden, at least at her squad's base and probably at her family manor too, I think she'd pick up some gardening techniques from the farmers in Heart. I think Charlotte gardens as stress relief and a practice in patience and observation. The flowers are like her squad, they rely on her attention and care to bloom to their full potential. But unlike her squad, they don't push her into confronting her feelings for Yami. So to have a better garden, Charlotte would pick up tips like how to keep soil rich or learn which plants grow best when placed together.

Rill: Heart Kingdom is a drop dead gorgeous place to be in. The land is no replacement with his heroic muse but it would be a lie to say Rill wasn't inspired by the place. With permission from Lolopechka, Rill gets to painting various locations and creates an art collection from the finished works. He gets a gallery cleared out in Clover so people can appreciate the beauty of Heart Kingdom without having to travel all the way over. It keeps his artistic skills sharp and gives him something to do other than train and check up on his squad.
