When Harry came running into his study one bright October day, the first thing Voldemort thought was, Didn’t I lock that door? Years of living with the boy – well, man now – hadn’t yet inured Voldemort to him constantly being underfoot and getting into places where he shouldn’t be.

His second thought was that the flush of exertion colouring Harry’s cheeks was rather fetching. Even if his hair was more of a windswept bird’s nest than usual and the knees of his jeans were dirty.

“Vee, you gotta come with me,” Harry said. His breathing was just a little heavy, likely from running about like an excitable child.

“Oh, I ‘gotta,’ do I?” Voldemort teased in a deadpan tone, arching his brows as he watched Harry shift in place in the doorway.

“C’mon, don’t be pedantic; follow me,” Harry insisted. When he began walking over with a determined light in his eyes, Voldemort accepted his fate with a sigh, setting down his book and rising from his seat. Capitulation was better for his pride than losing, after all.

“Very well, lead the way.”

He pretended not to see Harry’s victorious fist-pump.

｡･:*:･ﾟ★,｡･:*:･ﾟ☆

When they reached their apparent destination, as indicated by Harry throwing his arms wide to present… something, Voldemort said, “What am I meant to be looking at?”

He couldn’t help but feel that Harry’s exasperated sigh was undeserved. “Leaves!” the man exclaimed, gesturing in front of them again.

“Yes, there are a lot of leaves,” Voldemort agreed slowly, wondering if the other man may have been caught with a stray confundus in the past hour.

“No, you–” Harry said, huffing out a laugh. “I raked some of the leaves into a pile. We’re going to jump into it.”

“We are not.”

“Uh, yeah, we definitely are.”

“Correction: I am not. You can do whatever foolish thing you like.”

“Vee, don’t be a spoilsport. Didn’t you ever want to play in the leaves when you were a kid?”

Tilting his head to the side, Voldemort gave it a moment of thought. “Not particularly, no. There weren’t enough trees around Wool’s to create an adequate pile, and the ground was too full of stones. I’ve never been fond of being dirty, either.”

“That is both sad and far too practical,” Harry said. “C’mon, a little dirt won’t hurt you, Mr. Big, Bad Dark Lord.”

“I’m going to remember you said that,” Voldemort threatened absently, glancing away from the leaf pile to watch the other man. “Is there a particular reason why you’re goading me?” 

Harry ducked his head, kicking one foot back and forth through the leaves and scattering them, though there were enough that it barely made a difference. “I dunno,” he said quietly. “When I was younger, I’d see some of the neighbourhood kids playing with each other in the leaves. I always had to rake them up and bin them immediately at the Dursleys'. It seemed like such a waste.”

And Voldemort was more than capable of filling in the bits that Harry wasn’t saying by this point. Sighing his defeat yet again, he turned away from the leaf pile, ignoring Harry’s disappointed sound. Then he let himself fall backwards, landing with a flump and sending leaves fluttering into the air around him.

Harry’s joyous shout preceded his flop into the leaf pile next to Voldemort by mere moments. Rolling back and forth and flailing his arms about with a smile practically splitting his face in half, Harry looked ecstatic. 

Reaching over, Voldemort plucked a leaf from Harry’s hair, letting it fall between them. Harry’s surprised eyes peered back at him, before they crinkled into happy half-moons behind his ridiculous glasses.

“Thanks, Vee,” he said far too sincerely for something so simple.

So Voldemort sat up, grabbed a handful of leaves and pitched it into Harry’s face, eliciting an indignant squawk. Before he could fully extricate himself, Voldemort was tackled back into the leaf pile, spitting out fallen foliage and rolling a cackling Harry off of him to pin the giddy man to the ground and stuff fistfuls of leaves down his shirt.

They both ended up flushed and dirty, but Voldemort couldn’t find it in him to complain.

New patches added to the Jacket, and celebrating becoming an official Aquacadet!

I went the route of hand painting vs embroidery this time around, mixing it up a bit! Some purchased, some painted, and one way too specific I couldn’t not get it 🤣

Feel free to say hi if you see me at the concert & summit in December! The Bats have been a bright spot in my life since finding them back around March, music and humor is truly a positive factor when life gets complicated. Super appreciative of them and stoked to celebrate their 30th!!

Mitsuri's weirdness is slept on me thinks. It's true that Mitsuri sorta represents normalcy in kny's bleak setting, despite being seen as unusual over something she can't control, but still, she's a weirdo <3 (affectionate) Maybe people forget that Mitsuri is weird because she doesn't have deceased parents (therefore isn't as unhinged as the other characters) and is girly(?) so surely, she must like normal girly things like makeup and shopping. I mean true! I'm sure she enjoys those, but I don’t think those are the only things she would like. (besides food ofc) Mitsuri is depicted as so stereotypically girly that it is unconventional in itself. She made the boys wear LEOTARDS in the hashira training arc. She's weird in a childish whimsey sort of way.

Mitsuri is a fangirl. She gushes over her colleagues at the most inappropriate times, but she compliments the things that are unconventional, like Sanemi's scars, Giyuu being quiet, or Obanai being snakey. (whatever that means)

Ya girl is also so obsessed with cats that her breathing style techniques are named after cats?? Complete with meowing sound effects too. Cat Love shower hello?!??.

Also I feel that aside from normal girly things, Mitsuri would LOVE magical girl things like sailor moon. There's so much magical girl motifs to her. She is like obsessed with cute things that her breathing in itself is super colorful and shiny, with bubbles and glitters. She also does a lot of unnecessary backflips, because she's just that. Extra.

She even has little hearts on her tsuka! Everyone else is regular looking or plain. I think she's the only one with that kind of design on her katana.

And I don't think these are a coincidence. Even in extra materials she literally has a ridiculous yet adorable OC named Big Hand Cat.

Look at her dragon even! Its so silly and whimsy I love it. It's like her cat oc in dragon form, complete with the big anime eyes. Again, Mitsuri would soooo love anime.

She even made a manga where the characters are based on FOOD

In short, Mitsuri is equivalent to THAT weird art kid. She's a weirdo let her be weird. 🩷

Here we are, the last short story! I have absolutely adored this entire series and short stories, and will probably be re-reading in the near future!

Without further ado: ⚜️ The Adventures of Charls, the Veretian Cloth Merchant ⚜️

- I really like that Veretians and Akielons are adopting each other’s fashions with the merging of cultures… Akielons are still rejecting the sleeves though. I bet “to reject the sleeves” or to “have no sleeves” becomes some kind of dirty euphemism later down the line. 😂

- Laurent and Damen really are leaders that give back to their people and don’t put themselves on a massively high pedestal. If they want to run away for a bit and be Cousin Charls and Lamen, they’re gonna do it. The council are going to have such massive headaches for the entirety of their reign lol

- And Charls is such an MVP for carting around the King of Vere masquerading as his cousin who is also called Charls 💀

- It will literally never not be funny to see Charls NOT figure out who Damen is.

- It will also literally never not be funny when Charls starts to get suspicious and comes to a conclusion that is also wildly wrong. “He’s a merchant’s assistant!” 😮

- Credit to Damen for playing along. Were he not born a royal, this kind of life would suit him.

- Laurent and Damen sneaking off before the ascension is also fantastic. At the end of the day they’re both just people and enjoy freedom and adventure.

- No one was gonna tell me Damen has a dimple?! This is crucial information people!!

- “Wow, Lamen’s clothes suck and he’s clearly poor, but damn his Veretian is great!”

- Damen there trying to defend Charls surrounding the rumours he was deceived and Charls literally just tells him to stfu 💀

- Makon. We’re gonna have problems. Your seams? Wonky. Your fabric? Low quality. Your business? Dodgy. You are talking smack about the literal blood-related cousin to the King of Vere. They are a FAMILY.

- Every time Laurent uses his snakey qualities for good, an angel gains its wings. Undercutting Makon for the fabric was so satisfying, and everyone handled that with more grace than I would have. I would have literally laughed in Makon’s face.

- I really like the implication that Laurent has a soft spot for animals, horses especially, and generally creatures that are innocent (children included). Makes Damen’s gift super special, and this horse poisoning scene really sad 😢

- And in all the chaos, Damen is still finding time to flirt. Priorities.

- Another detail I adore is that Charls notices clothes before he notices physical appearance. He’s far more likely to say “the guy in the poorly woven woollen cloak” than “the guy with brown hair.”

- Laurent really hit the jackpot with Damen and the scary dog privileges that came with him. Someone need only tip a drink on this man and Damen’s started a whole bar fight.

- Also. Totally real that Akielons and Veretians still hold animosity between one another even after the merging of the kingdoms. Integration doesn’t happen overnight.

- This bar fight is everything. Damen is there absolutely murking everyone he sees and Laurent is ducked behind a table tossing olives and stealing lamb legs. Play to your strengths I guess!

- I can picture exactly no situation in which geese could make it better. Evil cobra chickens.

- We have adopted Alexon. He’s invited to the wedding.

- “A Prince’s hands are for refinement” I bet Charls and Damen keep this as a running joke even after everything is out in the open. Laurent lifts a pea and he’s like “Lamen! The king cannot possibly!!”

- If I was sat in disguise around a campfire with some borderline strangers and they started talking about my sex life, I’d simply ✨pass away✨. At least it was all good things and no scandalous rumours about Nikandros teaching Laurent how to wrestle 💀

- Seven hours? That’s cute. He barely survived one with Halvik’s girls 💀

- ALEXON!! Be the kind of nepo baby that uses their status like this.

- Literally need an entire book of Damen and Laurent sneaking out undercover in disguise to free slaves and bring down those trading them. ‼️📢Bring back the blue dress 2k24‼️📢

- Love that Charls always takes the opportunity to mention how strong and young and virile Lamen is, and how him and Laurent must be fucking like rabbits. Which, to be fair, is not too far from the truth lol

- It hurts my heart that the conversation Damen has with Charls could have happened with Auguste or Laurent’s father had Damen had the opportunity to court Laurent like he wanted.

- Laurent in gold looking absolutely ethereal at his coronation. That’s the post.

- HE FINALLY FOUND OUT 😂 WELCOME TO THE ROYAL FAMILY CHARLS!! You definitely know who’s getting to make the wedding trousseau 😉

This entire series has been an absolute ride, and thanks to everyone who’s shared in my (annoying) enthusiasm 😂 AO3 will be my new home, and any fic recommendations are 100% welcome! Love y’all! ♥️

Btw before I sleep;

I have considered a divergent au from the "Nüwa and Fuxi are MK's bio parents" idea where MK, instead of inheriting mostly monkey genetics, took more after his mama and popped out a naga/lamia-like snake demon.

Bonus, MK's scales aren't emerald green like Nüwa's, but rather a mix of golden yellow and orange. Like autumn leaves, or egg noodles floating in spicy broth. His eyes are a very pretty brown-gold color with slitted pupils.

The Ultimate "Noodle Boy"!

Still has a demon monkey top-half. Wild brown fur all over his head, arms, and torso, and a body-length mohawk of fur going all the way down his snake tail.

Whoever made MK look human in canon def has a harder time hiding that part of him!

Pigsy finds the muddy baby outside his shop and it takes him a moment to realise that the kid wasn't wearing a thick skirt.

Pigsy, washing MK in the sink: "Poor little guy. Even your legs are- uh...?"

Baby MK: (*no legs, just baby snake lower half*)

Pigsy: "Not... there."

Baby MK: (*flickers little forked tongue out at Pigsy's face to smell him*)

Pigsy, trying to make light of the situation: "Either you're one of those indian snake things, or you're the second-biggest noodle I've ever seen."

Baby MK: (*big wide smile! Has no teeth other than two tiny fangs*)

One of the first things Pigsy had to teach MK was to chew his food and not unhinge his jaw willy-nilly. And to not drink things by dunking his whole face in it.

Tang was the unfortunate soul to discover that MK's particular snake species was a "crushing" type - when the baby had a nightmare while wrapped around his arm. He has a copy of the resulting x-rays to prove it. XD

Having a "snake-butt" as MK calls it can be annoying in modern day life, but he's got insane core-body strength as a side effect. Pigsy had to get a specially-designed vehicle before he could let his boy deliver noodles for the restaurant.

Still a super Monkey King fan too, he's still half-monkey after all. Now he just has a bonus appriciation for the story of White Snake. For a while as a child he thought he was the result of a snake-demon/human romance like what happened between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.

Snakes and dragons actually have some pretty big cultural tension between them in Chinese lore (snakes are considered "lesser dragons"), so the fact Snakey!MK and Mei would 100% still be besties would be seen as pretty unusual. But when did these two ever conform to societal expectations?

When MK inherits the Staff, Wukong quickly discovers that he can use his tail as a third limb for balance - allowing MK to pull off some pretty unique fight moves!

MK is still terrified of spiders. The fact that baby snakes eat them is besides the point. He'd also get a more serious reaction to LBD's icy powers since cold temperatures cause blinding headaches and loss of conciousness in snakes.

The Celestial Realm gets really nervous when they see that Wukong's successor is a half-snake for some reason. MK personally thinks Nezha's pink scales and horns are cool af.

[fimbry]

I know you are busy as heck with life (I've appreciated and been impressed by your art updates through it all!), but I've been wondering if you think you'll ever breed your bloods again in the future? 👀

Yes I'm hoping to pair snakes up again this fall! I miss baby snakes SO much. (Though I'm glad I took a break lol.)

Tiramisu is ready to go this season which is super exciting. She's my T+ albino 007, pics below. Planning to pair her, Static, and either Snakey or Tide with the boys this coming season.

[kiragecko]

So, it's the early 2000s. I'm hanging out with the first friend I've managed to make in half a decade, my now-husband. We're both trying to make good impressions, because friendship is hard! Now-Husband does this through the evergreen autistic method of 'let's share my special interest'.

(I would later do the exact same thing, slightly more successfully, with the Discworld books. This can be a good method!)

He does have enough social awareness to realize that sticking me in front of the Final Fantasy VII video game will not work. But, Advent Children is a MOVIE! He can share THAT with me!

-

Now, a more social aware person might ask themselves (and maybe even me) some questions first. Questions like:

Has Gecko ever played a video game?

(Answer: Yes, I have played parts of Super Mario World and two Donkey Kong Countries! Also, a snakey Tetris clone?)

Has Gecko ever watched an anime?

(Answer: No.)

Has Gecko ever had ANY interaction with Japanese bullshit, and it's differences from English bullshit?

(Answer: I have read one manga at this point, W Juliet.)

Does Gecko even know what an RPG IS?

(Answer: No. If the acronym was expanded I would think you were talking about D&D.)

Can Gecko watch things with subtitles?

(Answer: Unknown, but I'm about to find out!)

Does Gecko actually enjoy movies?

(Answer: At the time, I would have said yes. I had been taught to ignore a lot of pain back then, and didn't realize they were sensory nightmares.)

Is this movie a good fic for newcomers to the franchise?

(Answer: Unhinged laughter.)

-

We watched Advent Children.

-

The saving grace of this experience was that Now-Husband LIKES explaining stuff! He got to explain a LOT of stuff. And it was VERY interesting to watch someone try to figure out how to explain,

"Your guess might technically be correct for this movie, but it wasn't that way in the game! ... I don't think. And it's not what I think they're trying to imply! ... It might actually be a plot hole. Or maybe we just missed something with the bad lighting? But also, I'm realizing, in real time, how many of my interpretations are actually fanon and I'm questioning everything!"

And there was a pseudo-vampire. I will never get over Vincent. Every moment of Vincent was overdramatic, trying-to-hard-to-be-cool BULLSHIT. I loved it! Vincent was very easy to understand!

-

The plot of Advent Children, according to Gecko:

The main(?) characters are in a flower church and Aerith glows and rises into the air in a clear death metaphor. Or maybe actually dies? (I was mostly scared all the stained glass would break.)

Cloud and his Large Sword fights the One Winged Angel Music Guy multiple times. Reasons unclear.

FAKE VAMPIRE SHOWS UP AND THINKS HE'S SO COOL! HA HA! I LOVE THE DUMB FAKE VAMPIRE. LOOK AT HIM POSE!

I definitely saw Tifa and Barrett at some point, but I don't even have memories of thinking, "Oh, he is a DADDY! THERE IS A CUTE KID!" So they failed big time, there.

The End.

Mini-Road-Trip

@flufftober Flufftober Day 2: “Left. Other left!”

Tw: language

- - -

Audio excerpt from the Ninja’s janky old road trip van: 

Jay, the driver: “Kai, what’s the way to the Destiny’s Bounty again?” 

Kai, shotgun: “Oh, it’s uhhh… take a right down that street up ahead, then straight for a while, then left.” 

Jay: “Okay.” 

“…”

Jay: “Left you said?” 

Cole, behind Kai: “Yes Jay, left.” 

Jay: “Alright.” 

“…” 

A loud snarling-hiss sounds from outside the vehicle

Kai: “OTHER LEFT, OTHER LEFT, NOT THAT WAY!!” 

“…” 

Cole: “What the fuck was that thing???” 

Zane, in the back: “It appears that Clouse lives down that way.” 

Nya, behind Jay: “Yeah, and so does his super creepy big-ass snake!” 

Jay: “I thought that was left though??” 

Kai: “No, idiot, left is the other way!!” 

Zane: “How have you lived this long without being able to tell your right from your left?” 

Jay: “I dunno, I never needed to know!” 

Cole: “My mom always taught me this trick with your hands, if you hold up your left hand your fingers make an L!” 

Jay: “Wow, that’s- handy! Heh!” 

Kai: “You both look like idiots. JAY, HANDS ON THE FUCKING WHEEL!!” 

Jay: “Ack! Sorry!” 

Nya: “Please don't kill us before we reach Wu, I want to be able to see the Bounty again.” 

Jay: “Sorry…” 

“…”

Cole: “Clouse really needs to get rid of that snake, that thing cannot be legal.” 

Nya: “Whadda ya know, Clouse doesn't follow the rules! Because, you know, evil dark magician! Who would have ever thought?” 

Zane: “Dialing the police…” 

Jay: “Nah, they’ll just give it to us. Ever since we handled the Great Devourer-” 

Kai: “Technically, Garmadon-” 

Jay: “EVER SINCE WE HANDLED THE GREAT DEVOURER, DON’T INTERRUPT ME KAI- ahem everyone thinks that us ninjas are just experts on dealing with giant snakes! I don't get it!” 

Cole: “Well, we did handle the Serpentine, and Pythor as well!” 

Zane: “Why did you count the Serpentine and Pythor as separate foes?” 

Cole: “Cause Pythor caused a whole bunch of trouble outside of his involvement with the Serpentine. I think he counts as separate, don’t you think?” 

Nya: “Yeah, I guess that makes sense.” 

Kai: “Lloyd would be petty and lump him in with the rest of the Serpentine.” 

Jay: “Well yeah, but he’s earned the right to be petty about Pythor. The guy manipulated him.” 

Kai: “Lloyd sure does tend to attract the super manipulative enemies, doesn’t he?” 

Cole: “Come on, he’s still sensitive about Harumi. We promised not to bring it up.” 

Kai: “Well I wasn't going to mention her by name, Cole!” 

Nya: “I’m gonna bring the subject back around to the snake problems: yes, people come to us with snakey stuff all the time and it’s annoying, but I’m pretty sure we can handle a big-ass snake. Done it before, we can do it again, and this one doesn't even grow super huge! It’ll be a piece of cake!” 

Zane: “Depends on your definition of ‘cake’…” 

Kai: “Nah, she’s right, it’ll be fairly easy. If we can get the Commissioner to clear the surrounding area, that is…” 

Jay: “Yeah, don’t wanna get anyone hurt. Although I wouldn't mind if Clouse conveniently stopped causing trouble for us…” 

Zane: “If you are suggesting compromising our morals and intentionally allowing a human being to be injured while doing our duty…” 

Cole: “Even if it’s Clouse? The guy who locked you up in a cold dark basement with no one but a disembodied P.I.X.A.L. for company?” 

Nya: “Say what you want Zane, but I’m all for it. That piece of shit needs dealing with, pronto. I don't like him slinking about.” 

Zane: “Perhaps we can contact the Commissioner about that too, as we technically do not have the legal authority to arrest anyone. And, while I appreciate your attempts to avenge me, I assure you, I would prefer it if you were not all arrested for murder.” 

Jay: “Don’t worry, Zane, we aren’t going to hurt him if we don't have to.” 

Cole: “If he resists though…” 

Kai: “That’s a different story.” 

Nya: “I will kick him in the head. I will do it. You can’t stop me, Zane.” 

Zane: “If he attempts to attack any one of you, there will be no complaints from me.” 

“…”

Kai: “Jay, what is taking so long? It was just two turns, we should be there by now.” 

Jay: “Oh! Yeah, I uh… I forgot I was driving heh.”

Nya: “Oh great, and now we’re lost!” 

Cole: “We should not have let Jay drive.”

Jay: “Hey! I’m a great driver! …on the highway. On longer trips… where you don't really have to be paying attention…” 

Zane: “I shall turn on the GPS, if that is acceptable?”

Kai: “Go for it bud, human intuition has clearly failed.”

Jay: “Hey!!”
