— PREV | MASTERLIST | NEXT

Hooray!! Christmas eve with your friends!! This is what you’ve been waiting for, a well deserved break and hanging out in a complete circle. The night was perfect—ordered and homemade food, a bunch of games the five of you created, and just having fun at Lumine's dorm.

“This is so much fun than my class party,” you started, leaning against Lumine on her bed while the other three sat on the floor.

“Don’t say that,” Xiao replies, “I’m sure you had lots of fun with Scaramouche.” He was just teasing and you all knew it, yet his stoic face made it seem like he was telling the truth.

Was he telling the truth? You don’t wanna answer, but everyone else was laughing like they all agreed.

“I hope you all get coal.” You glared at all of them.

“Yes, like you weren’t bringing a bunch of presents all the way here.” Lumine giggled.

You rolled your eyes, “What if they’re big coals?”

“As big as–”

“Don’t even.” Xiao interrupted Hu Tao, to which she playfully nudged him for.

“Alright, why don’t we just move on to some karaoke?” Aether chimed in to stop the playful banter. It worked, as Hu Tao’s sparkling eyes darted to him.

The group starts to sing in turn. While it was Lumine’s turn, your phone lit up and a notification popped up.

You didn’t know what to feel about that. Considering the fact that you actually haven’t responded to any of his messages, it almost seemed rude to reply to this one just because it’s a holiday greeting.

But then again, he’s your ex so it’s understandable, right?

The message didn’t leave your mind even if you didn’t reply. You kept quiet and just turned off your phone. Unfortunately for you, Lumine was quick to catch your weird behavior.

“Hey, you okay?” Her question echoed through the microphone, making everyone else turn their heads to you. Deciding it’d be useless to hide from them, you told them the truth.

“Nothing too important, but Scaramouche just chatted me..” You answered, the group humming an “ooohh” as a response.

“Well? What are you waiting for?” Hu Tao grinned.

“Just reply, we all know you want to.” Xiao added.

“Shut up.” You scoffed, “I’m not letting him ruin my–”

Your phone buzzed again.

“The man’s clearly desperate to double text, just reply already.” Lumine sighs.

The peer pressure was insane, but a simple greeting won’t mean anything, right?

Henlo, Merry Christmas my lovelies!

I hope everyone is having fun, got what they wanted, enjoying time with their families (or if you're alone or with your furbabies what have you, that you're doing well too! <3)

I'm still working on inbox requests! But please accept this mini headcanon christmas post from me <3

Astra's First Christmas in Hell!

Astra: This is insane....I cannot believe that happened.... (walks into her room with several gifts in hand but sweat running down her face)

*loud knocking and pounding on the other side of the door*

Satan: Astra, open up! I'm not done with my gift yet...!

Mammon: There's so much more where that came from, my love, my treasure. Those small gifts won't suit you.

Satan: Will you shut the fuck up? It's MY turn you had her all day yesterday...

Mammon: Oh? If I'm remembering correctly we both had her yesterday.

Astra: (slides down her door) Listen, I love you both. Please give me a minute. I'm so overwhelmed.

*Astra's phone buzzes suddenly*

[Beelzebub: Hehe, did you get my gift Astra? Make sure you eat all of it properly for the full effect. Meet me at the club later <3]

[Bael: Don't eat that. P l e a s e]

[Belphegor: Aye, Astra! Merry Christmas from me his Maj, Belphie. He's dozin' off per usual. I ain't had time to wrap your gift so come by soon to pick it up. We'll be waitin'.]

[Agares: Don't bother showin' up darlin' I'm coming to you to bring over my gift.]

Astra: How do they know who's texting at the same time???

*phone buzzes more*

[Lucifer: Merry Christmas. Make sure to use the throat spray Buer made. It will help with the soreness.]

[Leviathan: I guess I should formally send you a Merry Christmas text. Even though you should be here in Hades so I can you to your face. I'd like to see it when I also tell you your gifts are trash. None of them are from me, which you aren't getting any.]

[Foras: Pst, Miss Astra, His Majesty doesn't want to tell you, but he has a gift here for you. Visit Hades soon please :)]

Astra: (sighs) Well, today would be a busy one huh? I wonder if I can visit everyone today...

Mammon: (still on the other side of the door with Satan) Do you need a ride? I can take you~

Satan: My motorcycle is faster. We can ride in style. You can't come Mammon you won't fit.

Mammon: Of course. Your tiny bike is way too small. I'm surprised you have room for Astra. Her ass alone is-

Astra: OKAY I GET THE POINT. We'll go later....

*phone buzzes again*

[Asmodeus: Hi dear <3 Look up from your phone for me?]

Astra: Huh? (looks up to see Asmodeus naked in her room except there's a present box over his crotch)

Asmodeus: Come see what I got you~ (winks as the box twitches)

Astra: I would ask how you got in here, but I already know the answer. I think uh...I'll open my gift another time.

Asmodeus: Awh, really? I spent a lot of time making sure it's to your liking...I heard you like..."double" the amount of fun.

Astra: Asmo...did you?

Asmodeus: Yes <3

*the door is suddenly splintering and cracking from Satan ripping at it*

Satan: FUCK OFF ASMODEUS GO AWAY.

Astra: ......I at least hope Minhyeok is doing okay and that Ppyong delivered my gift....

Meanwhile on Earth

Ppyong: Minhyeok!!! Bestie!!!! Merry Christmas, aye! I come with good news from Miss Astra.

Minhyeok: ??? Is she coming home!?

Ppyong: No....but she sent gifts, aye! Here!~ (pulls out a small bag from his belly pouch that suddenly grows larger once it hits the floor)

Minheyok: Oh...(pulls out a locket that has a photo of him and Astra)

Ppyong: Isn't it cute, aye? Miss Astra had the necklace custom made in Tartaros! Real gold, aye! I'm super jealous.

Minhyeok: Astra...I wish she was here so I could thank her properly, I- (he suddenly sees another gift, a book and a pair of panties inside a sealed bag) Eh? What is this?

Ppyong: (grins) Me and some of the nobles made this for you, aye! Take a look...

*Minhyeok picks up the book to realize it's a collection of lewd photos of Astra professionally took by Phenomenon*

Minhyeok: !!!! Ppyong...this...this is indecent....does she know you did this? And what are....these panties?

Ppyong: Those are special panties, aye! Miss Astra had those on during her Christmas Cold, so she came alot while wearing them, aye! I save them for you as her scent was the strongest during that time.

Minhyeok: (blushes heavily while confused by the term "Christmas Cold" and the fact she "came" in them repeatedly) I, uh....

Ppyong: You'll be happy to know she called out your name during, aye! (flies around happily oblivious the fact that Minhyeok is close to passing out being overwhelmed with information)

Merry Christmas, ya'll <3 Lol Astra has her hands full apparently with everyone hitting her up and Asmo being himself as usual. Plus is sounds like Minhyeok got some pretty awesome gifts 👀💀

“I need some air.”

  You stepped away from the dance floor, giggling and waving at your friends, careful not to spill the drink you had in hand. You were spending the weekend at your friend’s beach house, and the vibes they were going for were a three day party. When you arrived you helped set up and by the time dusk had come around the party had already started. There was music and drinks, and lots of people mingling. You were used to this type of life with your friends, so you were certainly enjoying yourself. After a few drinks and hours on the dance floor you knew you needed a break, so you stepped away, going up to the second floor balcony.

The sound of the waves was louder than the muffled music, creating a peaceful atmosphere. The fresh air was also welcomed, needing to clear out your airways. You swirled the drink in your hand, wondering if you should call it here. You did drink, but you weren’t looking to get really drunk tonight. You closed your eyes and took a deep breath. It was good to get away from home and work and just have fun, this break was highly overdue. As you were listening to the waves a new melody caught your attention. Your gaze shifted down to the beach below, seeing a small campfire and four individuals around it.

The beach here wasn’t private property or anything, but you were curious as to who they were. The nearest residence was a good couple miles away. The party was up here in the house, but those people were having their own get-together down there. You went back inside, intending to go down to the beach, but you ran into some friends along the way. They were curious as to where you were going and you told them you wanted to go down to the beach to see what was going on. They liked the idea as well, so you all went together. The air would do them good too. As the house music died down you could better hear the guitar and the beautiful voices singing.

You didn’t recognize the melody but it was nice nonetheless. Although the music stopped when your little group was noticed. Four boys sat around their campfire, looking over at you and the others. They were friendly from the start, asking if you wanted to join their circle. The boys spread out, letting you and your friends sit. They introduced themselves, and let you all do the same. Soon enough the guitar was strumming again and a simple conversation was started. For now everyone seemed content getting to know one another. Although from there a few conversations branched out and mini groups were formed.

“So, how long have you played guitar?”

“For as long as I can remember.” Juyeon answered. “Music is a passion of mine.”

“I can tell. You’re very talented.”

“Thanks. So what do you do?”

“Nothing special, just office work.”

“A cubicle?”

“Yeah. I don’t mind it at all. The work is easy and the pay is good. Way less stressful than my old retail job.”

“You worked retail?”

“My greatest trial.” You chuckled. “It had its good and bad days, but I’m glad to have the experience. I know what the employees go through and have great respect for them.”

“You see the bright side in a lot of things, don’t you?”

“I try. I want to make the most of my life and enjoy myself. What about you though, what do you do with your time?”

“I focus on my music.”

“Ah, a real musician. Where can I find your music?”

“Right here.”

Juyeon changed the tune he was playing and began to sing, his friends joining in as well. You listened with a smile on your face, seeing how quickly everyone got into the song. You couldn’t help but wonder who they were. Most of the people at the party you knew, one way or another, but these guys seemed like total strangers. With that in mind you should probably be worried, but they didn’t seem like bad people. You were captivated by the music until it was interrupted by cheering and yelling. Apparently the bond fire out on the beach had been noticed and a good amount of people were moving the party outside.

Soon enough the soothing sound of the waves and guitar playing was drowned out by the stereo and the conversations all around. You didn’t mind much, especially considering this party wasn’t supposed to end any time soon. Your friends got up, dragging some of the other boys along to dance. You got up as well, although Juyeon grabbed your arm and pulled you back down. For a moment he seemed annoyed, but quickly changed his expression. Perhaps he had come out here to get away from all the loud partying, and your arrival unintentionally brought it to him. You wanted to apologize but weren’t sure how to go about it.

“Let’s go talk somewhere in private.”

“You’re not much of a party person?”

“Too much noise.”

“I bet the house is quieter now, we can go up there.”

“I know somewhere better.���

“Alright, lead the way.

You got up with Juyeon, and he kept a hold of your arm as he led you through the crowds, moving away from the house. Although along the way you were yanked from his grasp, surrounded by familiar faces and dancing bodies. It seemed that the party didn’t want you leaving again. You tried looking around for Juyeon, but he found you first, grabbing your arm once more and pulling you close. This time the annoyance was clear on his face and his grip was firm. You were starting to get this uneasy feeling about him, deciding it was best to part ways.  Yet you couldn’t get yourself free.

“Juyeon… let go…”

“…”

 “Let go! I’m serious, this isn’t funny!”

Without another word Juyeon started dragging you away from the crowd as you continued to struggle. No one seemed to notice your distress, and screaming probably wouldn’t get you anywhere. The only other option was to fight. So without hesitation you punched Juyeon in the stomach, causing him to double over and let you go. You quickly ran off, looking for your friends in the crowd. You spotted someone, waving your arm and shouting to get their attention when this ear-piercing screech filled the air. You fell to your knees covering your ears, trying to drown out the sound. You weren’t the only one affected as you saw others around you doing the same thing as you.

It was hard to tell how long the disruption lasted, but when it stopped things seemed different. Your vision was a bit blurry, and there was a muted ringing in your ears. As you pulled your hands away you felt something warm and thick, looking at your fingers to see blood. You were trying to process when your arm was grabbed and you were pulled up to your feet. For a moment you could make out Kevin’s face before he was dragging you behind him. You stumbled over others on the ground, trying to regain your own sense while attempting to free yourself. Although just like before, Kevin’s grip also seemed impossible to break.

Next thing you knew you felt wet sand beneath your feet, starting to realize Kevin was pulling you towards the water. You screamed and let yourself fall to the floor, hoping your body weight could stop him in his tracks. It did jerk him back, but he was only annoyed for a bit. Someone from behind pulled you up to your feet, pushing you forward into the water. You continued to yell, trying to free yourself and not let the fear of the approaching water scare you. When you glanced back you could see Changmin pushing you along, a smile on his face. You didn’t understand what they were doing, but you were terrified.

“Stop! Stop it! Please!”

“Relax, you’ll be fine.” Changmin assured. 

“Let go! Ple-”

You were so distracted by Changmin that you were completely clueless about the oncoming wave until it hit you. For a moment your whole world was underwater, and then a calming atmosphere seemed to wash over you, pulling you under into the darkness.

🖤

You gasped awake, taking in deep breaths as you looked around. You were lying on sand, the waves receding just a few feet from you. It wasn’t that cold, but you were still wet, which made you shiver. You looked around, but you seemed to be completely alone, the only light coming from the moon. After a moment you managed to get on your feet, properly taking in your surroundings. This place was completely unfamiliar. Besides the water and sand, there was nothing but endless trees. You thought back to what happened before you woke up here, but your memories seemed impossible.

Those boys from the beach had dragged you into the water, and before that there had been that loud noise. As the helplessness of your situation was starting to settle in you noticed what seemed to be smoke rising into the air. Someone had started a fire. Without much thought you headed into the trees, following the smoke trail, hoping to find someone, anyone else. Once you were further in you saw the inklings of fire light, feeling hopeful. That is until you broke through the plants to find a small little campsite. Four familiar faces gathered around a fire, merely watching the flames until their gazes turned to you. A golden glow from their eyes froze you in place.

“I’m glad you found your way to us.” Chanhee giggled. “Sit.”

“… what… what’s going on… what happened…”

“Nothing you need to worry about. Sit down, I’m sure you need to warm up.”

“No… no…” You took a step back. “… you guys…”

“You’re on our island.” Kevin stated. “There’s nowhere else for you to go. So sit down, before you run off and get lost.”

“… what are you…”

“We’re not gonna hurt you if that’s what you’re scared of.”

“… then… why’d you bring me here… how did you-”

“You wanted to come here.” Juyeon remarked. “So we brought you.”

“I never said that…”

“Actions speak louder than words. Of course it was a bit difficult at first when you came to the beach with friends, but we found you eventually.”

“What are you talking about…”

“We sang a song, it was an invitation.” Changmin explained. “For a pretty little human to run away into our arms, and you came to us.”

“No, no I didn’t, I…”

“Sh, it’s okay. One’s innermost desires are always hard to understand, but we heard you loud and clear.”

“Liars… take me back! Now!”

“And why would we do that?” Juyeon questioned. “When you don’t actually want to, do you?”

“I…”

There was something in his voice that didn’t sound right. It created this sensation, a sense of calm and peace you had felt before when you heard them sing. Then it all clicked into place. Sirens. That realization snapped you out of it, so you turned and ran, not daring to look back. Although as badly as you wanted to escape, eventually you escaped from the trees, coming upon an endless expanse of water. They said you were on an island, and you had no way of knowing that was true. Your best bet now was to pick a direction, but then you heard rustling behind you.

“You’ll get lost if you go off on your own.” Kevin said. “If you don’t freeze to death first.”

“Stay back!”

“We already said we’re not gonna hurt you.” Chanhee added. “Don’t you believe us?”

“Just… just send me back… you… you don’t need me…”

“But we do.” Juyeon corrected. “You think we’d go anywhere near humans without a purpose? No, no, no, darling, we were hunting for you.”

“What… what do you want with me…?”

“For now we just need to keep you close until we can make the proper arrangements.”

“Arrangements…?”

“The island is just temporary, silly.” Changmin teased. “I’m sure by now you’ve figured out what we are. Your human body isn’t suitable for us, but we’ll rectify that soon enough.”

“… please…”

“Just relax and come here, we need to warm you up, and I have other ideas besides a fire.”

You stumbled back a few steps, grabbing your head. You could feel that calm sense starting to wash over you, but you were fighting back. As you continued to move you eventually felt your feet dipping into water. They had you cornered, and there was really nowhere to run.

“… please… don’t…”

“You’ll be just fine with us, better even.” Chanhee held his hand out to you. “We made an excellent choice with you.”

“You’re perfect, darling.” Kevin added. “Come now.”

“I…”

Your head was spinning, the world getting a bit blurry as your own identity was being drowned into the back of your own mind. They were getting closer and closer, and your own fears were disappearing. Without truly meaning to you were reaching out to Chanhee’s hand, the inklings of a smile forming on your face. The golden eyes, the soft voices, it wasn’t so scary anymore. If anything it seemed rather welcoming. When you took Chanhee’s hand you felt lighter, as if all your worries had been washed away.

“Good girl, you’ll see, you’re perfect for us. At least you will be, eventually.”

A MAGICAL FEELING CALLED LOVE

summary: you and chris do christmas shopping together

warnings: fluff, use of swearing

wc: 750*

author’s note: english is not my first language. merry christmas!!

︵‿︵‿୨♡୧‿︵‿︵

"you clearly have no taste, red will do much better atmosphere." said chris, repeating himself again and again.

nick and matt have done a bad decision. very bad decision. they let me and chris decide on this year's christmas decorations, basically do christmas shopping. so chris drove us to target and here we are, picking a theme color.

"no, white is better, red is such an evil color." i denied. this argument was so stupid but i had to win it.

"what? evil? everyone associates christmas with red." chris said laughing. he is right, i also associate christmas with red.

"it's basic! let's not make it difficult and pick cute, white and minimalistic decorations." i loved keeping it simple, and i loved white.

"hello, would you like some help?" a staff member approached to us. should i cry or should i thank him?

"actually yes. she wants a theme color to be white, but i don't, i think red will look better." said chris politely smiling.

"that's a hard decision. what was your theme color last year?" said staff member. when i looked at chris he was already looking at me. we went into awkward silence. "okay, well... um... what's wrong with red?"

i didn’t want to answer as i didn’t have major reason. "it's really basic, and i feel like everyone has red decorations." i answered. this guy better be on my side.

"and what's wrong with white?" staff member looked at chris with a hand on his chin. is this guy a fucking therapist?

"our house is white, it's not how you style decorations." chris retorted.

"okay. what do you think about gold?" this staff member was actually helpful once in my life. i tilted my head up and imagined the house with golden lights, toys and gift wrappers. i loved it.

when i looked down at chris, he was looking at me and smiling. "we'll do gold. thanks for your help." staff member smiled at us and walked away. "and we argued for about ten minutes." chris laughed and gave me a quick kiss on the forehead. his lips left a warm feeling, which felt like i was loved.

we were walking through the store, laughing and picking stuff. we had so much fun, and i had a feeling, that this christmas might be the best ever.

as we were walking to the checkout line i saw a couple standing beside the stand with pyjamas. the idea lighted up in my brain, so quick i didn't even noticed.

"oh my god chris." i almost shouted. when i looked at him his expression was so scared and confused, i thought i would not handle it and laugh. “we have to get matching pyjamas!”

his expression softened. “what? you know how you scared me? oh, and no. i’m not doing that couple shit.”

my eyes went to puppy eyes even though he wasn’t looking at me anymore. “oh no,” he said when he noticed. “do we really have to do this?” he asked. “okay, whatever. let’s get matching pyjamas.”

“yes!” i smiled and walked to the stand.

we spend a lot of time picking a set, but the final one was a plaid red and green one. i have no idea how chris agreed to this but now there is no way out of it. i could already imagine both of us watching a movie in those pyjamas.

while we were shopping it got dark outside. when i looked at the phone to see what time it was my eyes widened. “we spend more than 3 hours shopping!” i was so surprised because the time for me went so fast, that i thought we spend about an hour.

“well, i thought we would spend longer.” said chris. we were walking through the parking lot to the car. “but i don’t regret spending 3 hours on shopping, with you.” i hugged him by the waist and putted my head on his shoulder.

i could smell his citrusy and woody scent, it will always remind me of chris. “i love you chris.” i whispered.

he turned his head to me and kissed me on the forehead. “i love you too.” he whispered to me back. “i will always love you, you know this.”

“yes, and sometimes i need a reminder.” i replied. matt’s car was right in front of us so i pulled back. the warmth that his words gave me was something magical, that i couldn’t describe. with you. i will always love you.

[arom-antix]

Me? Posting finished art? Ain't no way :O

No but @korruptbrekker reached out to me and asked if I was interested in doing a collab (go check out their piece here, I implore you), and you know I could not say no to such a wonderful artist asking lil ol me to do something fun like this. We ended up doing a swap @laugaheim and I came up with ages ago that I so sussinctly refer to as a moodboard-sketch-lineart-render swap. Rolls right off the tongue, right? Nah but it's exactly what it says. Make moodboards, swap and sketch from the other's, swap again and line the other's sketch, and then swap once again and finish the piece you sketched.

Very big thanks to Brekker for reaching out! This was so fun, I hope we can do something together again in the future!

[canisalbus]

50: Nicknames/Pet Names

There’s a list of things other than “Max,” that Rachel and Chloe call her that probably runs a mile long. 

Chloe likes to stretch her name into a wide variety of different shapes — some more ridiculous than others — and though there apparently exists some method to her madness no one else seems to know quite what it is. Mad Max, Maximilian, Maximum Turbo-Force Dork. Max could fill up a whole notebook with just those, let alone the pet-names. Chloe was once solely an ironic user of the word babe, so Max has been told, but she’s long since fallen into the trap of habit and now throws it around far more casually than Max can handle. 

Rachel has also grown fond of playing around with Max’s name, but she leans more towards the terms of endearment. Max has lost count of the amount of times she’s gone all red in the face after being called honey or love or darling. There was even that one time Rachel had the audacity to call her babygirl in the middle of the dorm hallways, which made her fluster so hard she’d immediately started babbling some lame excuse about the time before literally running all the way back to her room. 

All this is to say: Max has been thinking it’s time for some payback.

So with devious plots in mind from the moment she gets up — perhaps Rachel is starting to rub off on her a bit — Max makes it her day's mission to give the two of them a taste of their own medicine. 

She catches Rachel first. Lingering in the dorm halls, fittingly enough, knee deep in yet another unnecessarily tense looking party planning conversation with Victoria. Of course, Victoria is often the only one who suffers in a conversation with Rachel, so when she turns to see Max approaching her expression shifts easily into one of earnest excitement.

“Morning, Max,” she greets, apparently feeling generous in her sparing Max from having to get flustered in front of Victoria. Her mistake. 

Max takes a final little breath for courage, and goes for the metaphorical kill. “Good morning, sweetheart. Am I seeing you for lunch today?”

She tries not to smile so hard watching Rachel’s cheeks turn red.

“Y-Yeah,” Rachel answers, looking momentarily horrified by her stammering before straightening up. “Yeah, sure, lunch. I’m there. See you then.”

As Max is taking her leave, hardly capable of stopping herself from skipping the whole way, she overhears their chatter resume. 

“Bitch, didn’t you literally just tell me we were gonna go over this shit again at lunch?” Victoria snaps, incredulous. “Oh my god, you’re down bad. That was pathetic. Well played, Amber, truly.”

“Shut the hell up, Chase,” Rachel hisses back. “Tell anyone what just happened and you’ll be on your own supplying party booze for the rest of the year.”

Max gets Chloe later on, during the aforementioned lunch hangout that Rachel is apparently snubbing Victoria to be present for. 

She’s in the midst of chowing down on some of the sweets Max brought along, getting bread crumbs and icing sugar all over herself in the process. By the time she’s done, there are patches of powdery white and a hint of jelly still adorning her face. Rachel tries to hide a bout of snorting giggles upon looking at her.

“Jesus, you’d think we never feed you,” she says, still covering her mouth with one hand and handing Chloe a napkin with the other. 

“Yeah,” Max agrees, taking the napkin in Chloe’s stead and reaching up to wipe off her face. “You’re making such a mess of yourself, baby.”

Chloe’s eyes go wide as saucers as she squeaks out an astoundingly unsure, “I sure am.” She lets Max finish cleaning her off before seemingly coming to her senses and going even redder than Rachel had earlier. 

Speaking of, Rachel’s gone a little pink again herself. She looks over at Max with a gaze as hungry as it is curious. “Man, you’re out for blood today, aren’t you?” 

“Just having a bit of fun,” Max assures with a smile, watching on in unabashed satisfaction as Chloe devolves into a grumbling, mumbling mess hiding her face in her hands.

God i think i'd do anything for this to happen. One of those things that makes my heart race and head spin if i think about it for any more than a second.

Just.... the sweat pouring off them as they pound into me. The air getting muskier as time goes on. Getting teased for my moans muffled by the girl in my mouth. Their hands pulling me in opposite directions as they get more and more desperate. The stream of degrading praise as i take them so good. The intermittent pauses as they lean in to kiss each other over me. Being made to cum all over myself again and again. Feeling their hot thick girlcum fill me up and cover me. Shoveling as much of it as i can into my mouth. The gentle shower afterwards for cleanup followed by ice cream and a cuddle puddle in a golden hour sunbeam. The promise to meet up and do it all over again the following week....

Yeah i think i'm on board with this one

I would like some teasers about that Xander - Soleil father-daughter support fic please 💖

HEHEHE that'd be my pleasure~~!! i'll put a couple things under the cut c:

the fanart nattie drew for me is from their c-support!! the gist of it is that xander's employing a similar punishment to soleil as he did to laslow for excessive flirting :3 but as they're working in xander's office, they both end up falling asleep, hence the little scene in the art <3

the rest of the support is about soleil lying through her teeth about how she totally isn't flirting anymore so she doesn't get in trouble again, and xander completely seeing through her lie and doing a dad-thing of trying to make her come clean herself instead of directly calling her out !!

[hecatesbroom]

For the ask game! Numbers 3, 25 (especially from a fashion POV!), and 30/31 as a double feature :)

Hii!! Thank you! You made me very happy with the opportunity to ramble about question number 25 haha.

What was the last song you listened to?

Technically, the intro song to The Golden Girls because I watched an episode yesterday before bed haha.

Other than that, I genuinely can't remember -- it's been a while since I listened to music! We recently got a piano and I've been listening to a a lot less music as a result, because I've been making it myself instead :) (very very simple tunes, but hey, it's still fun!)

What’s your favorite decade? (from a fashion POV)

OH this is hard!! I think if I were to pick just one, it'd be the 1970s -- but that's because it allows me to cheat & sort of include two of my other favourite decades (the 1900s and 1940s) in the process, because a lot of 70s fashion was inspired by those :) (and I have a weakness for pointy collars, what can I say?)

Idk, what I love about the 70s is how many contradictions there are? On one hand you have sleek a-line skirts and fitted blouses. On the other you have frills and ruffles, (slight) bishop sleeves and flowy maxi dresses, and those opposites (and the combination of them) are just really fun to me! (I also grew up on a lot of 70s media so honestly, I think it's also partly nostalgia haha)

But I think my favourite fashion decade is actually the 1940s. I love the silhouette, which is still somewhat reminiscent of the elegance of the 1930s, but a little harder in a way. Slightly more practical in its skirt lengths (for obvious reasons), a little more masculine in its shape (which is a fascinating trend you see more often in fashion history, during big wars. Fashion during the 1910s actually turned a little more masculine in shape as well, at the time of WWI!).

I'll stop here because I could go on forever, but yeah!! The 1970s because it's a cheat move to include 2 of my other favourite decades (and it's a lot easier to find 70s clothes to wear myself!) and the 1940s because... well, I just like 40s fashion haha

What are you looking forward to in the near future? & What are you looking forward to in the distant future?

In the very near future, I'm looking forward to visit my grandma for her birthday today :)

Honestly I don't tend to look more than a year or so into the future (and even that's a stretch at the moment haha) but I'm really looking forward to finishing school in 2,5 months!! It was only a year, but oh boy, was it a year. I'm mostly really excited to have more energy to be myself again, if that makes sense? I'll be able to do some more research for my writing projects (I've got a small stack of books waiting for me already), go thrift shopping, and see my friends again!! And my brain will also (hopefully) start function normally again lol. I'm really looking forward to being able to think at my natural speed again haha.

[the-nothing-maker]

Yeah we remember Ghost! On that note, would you be able to write us a condensed version of his story? We got snippets of it from your drawings but I would love to get the full picture (when/if you have time of course!)

Awww, that's really sweet, thank you !! Of course I can do a brief summary ! (though by that I mean I'll try to keep it brief...)

Basically, Ghost was a small-time storm sorcerer in a huge pirate fleet off the coast of Chult who was pretty much sold to another pirate lord (Jarlaxle Baenre) to settle a debt when he became too much of an accidental nuisance (he was very vocal about the fact that he thought his boat-captain was cooler than his fleet-captain and that she should be in charge, which is, you know, low level mutiny).

I went through Dragon Heist and Mad Mage with him, so we pretty much followed the story ! He went to Waterdeep in summer, ran a tavern for a while with a little group of misfits, and was in the service of Jarlaxle, which he didn't like at first (he thought that if he just helped Jarlaxle for a while, he could eventually get home). Instead, Jarlaxle seduced him and convinced him to stay for longer and longer jobs, the last of them being stealing a Spelljammer on which (or so Jarlaxle said) they'd sail the stars together with his crew.

Ghost was really torn between all of his desires, but ultimately, once the Spelljammer was acquired, Jarlaxle and him parted ways - Ghost told him that he'd follow him if he could promise he wouldn't lie/manipulate him again, which wasn't a promise Jarlaxle said he could keep. Heartbroken, Ghost eventually bounced back and Wished himself a brand new Spelljammer to sail on his own through the Astral Sea. He actually had a cameo in our Spelljammer campaign years later, ahah !

I had a lot of fun playing him and a lot of fond memories of that group !! I still play in a lot of campaigns, but I don't have the time to shower them with love and art as much as I used to, which is a shame. I'd love to show you all of my new blorbos !

....which scene I would like to erase from the universe and why.

And for Nat and Yelena both:

...the scene that I think adds depth to their character or the relationship this character has with someone.

...a headcanon I have about this character.

Please and thank you! :D :D :D <33333333

Wheeee thank you for the ask!! Sorry it took so long for me to respond, it turns out I had a LOT to ramble about haha.

TOLKIEN:

...the moment in the story that I started shipping my OTP from this worldUnfortunately I cannot answer this one properly because Aragorn/Arwen has been my Tolkien otp since the first time I read the books at the fresh young age of six, so I have no idea when specifically I started shipping them. 

...my three favorite characters and why I love them so much.

Arwen!!! I love her quiet presence through the narrative, I love that she’s a symbol of hope and rebirth of the world, I love her kindness and empathy towards Frodo and the fact that she’s the one who gives him the option to sail to Valinor, and I love her coming of age arc. I have a whole ESSAY about the Themes of her story that I will share upon request, but as it is almost a thousand words long I think I’ll leave it out for now ;)

Legolas!! He’s been my favorite fellowship member since I first read the books. I desperately wanted to be him as a kid and he’s one of the foundational pillars of my ongoing love of archery. I love the layers of his personality and that he brings both solemn gravitas and fun whimsy to the group. 

Éowyn!!! My appreciation of her has kinda shifted over the years from very basic “she's the one girl who gets to have a major and active part in the story and she kicks the witch king’s ass which is cool” to a more nuanced appreciation of her story as one of healing from a very dark and unhealthy emotional state. I love the themes of her arc so much, and I also really love her relationships with everyone. Her friendship with Merry is excellent <33 Also in my not-so-humble opinion “No living man am I!” and the speech that follows (which I can almost quote from memory) remains one of the most badass lines in all of fiction. 

...which characters I think should have interacted more in canon.

This is a very basic answer, but Arwen and Éowyn! I think they both have a lot in common and a lot of differences that could lead to some very interesting conversations. Arwen was put in basically the same position as Éowyn during the war of the Ring, but I don’t get the sense that she ever resented being left at home in quite the same way. I think the contrast between Arwen working within the system of gender roles to send aid to Aragorn (the banner, the elessar brooch, etc.) vs Éowyn breaking the system completely is fascinating and I’d love to see them compare perspectives! *eyedarts at chapter 3 of Bearing Hope’s Sword which is currently sitting on the back burner but may get some of these musings when I finally get around to it (although Arwen’s situation in that fic is quite different from canon)*

I also wish we could’ve seen more of Frodo and Merry because I absolutely adore their relationship in the first half of Fellowship and unfortunately it gets quite sidelined after that because of the way the plot goes. They grew up together!!! At the beginning of the book I’d argue that they’re probably the closest hobbit pair.

MARVEL:

...the moment in the story that I started shipping my OTP from this world

Ok so disclaimer that my Marvel shipping opinions vary WILDLY from version to version and I am even more of a multishipper here than I usually am and thus picking a single OTP is very hard. If I had to choose just one, I think I’d pick Steve Rogers/Natasha Romanov…. But they’re another one that I’ve been shipping since I was very young and thus I am fuzzy on the details of how it started. SO to avoid giving a wishy-washy Ï-don’t-really-know answer twice in a row on this question, I shall pivot to my OTP for specifically Avengers Assemble (cartoon), which is Steve/Nat/Tony Stark. I started shipping them after watching 3x03 Saving Captain Rogers for the first time. I believe it was a combination of the lines “or did you digging through his sock drawer already tell you that?/don’t mistake knowing where Cap is for knowing who he is.” and “does this count as you saving Cap’s life, or is this one mine?/As far as I’m concerned you’re both lifesavers.” that really made me think “oh, this is an established relationship”. Once I was looking for it, I couldn’t stop seeing the chemistry and thinking about the potential and well, the rest is history… *eyes the 10+ fics/fic drafts I’ve written for them over the last 3 years* I’m hopeful that one day the rarepair canoe will expand beyond just me and my sibling, but that will require me to actually get my act together and finish some stuff. XD

....my three favorite characters and why I love them so much

Hehe… these will not be surprising…

Natasha (who else could it be? XD) In what has become a running theme in these answers, she’s another character that I imprinted on at a very young age and decided to base large chunks of my personality around. Everything about her compels me. Her friendships with Clint and Steve are great, she’s almost always the most competent person in the room, and her sense of personal identity and relationship with her past is always fascinating. She’s never liked what she does as Black Widow, but she does it because no one else can and because she believes it’s her duty as a kind of penance for all the bad she did before she defected. I think there’s so much complexity in her story and on top of all that, she’s just cool. And fun; I love her sense of humor and how sassy she can be.

Steve Rogers. I just like kind people who care about the world and try to do the right thing no matter what. Also his shield is really cool and I want one (it’s probably my favorite Marvel weapon). I think his time displacement is really, really heartbreaking and stories about him learning to let go of what was/what could have been in favor of looking to the future and valuing what he has now (the Avengers) are really compelling. I love that he’s fundamentally a nerdy art kid at heart (begging modern stories to include his freelance illustrator career more, let him have a life outside being Cap). Did you know there are multiple comic panels that show him reading LotR? Steve Rogers is a canonical LotR fan and I cannot be normal about that. I like thinking about his relationship to his public image—what does he think about being the ‘face of America’? How does he handle being fundamentally a propaganda symbol? Stories where his personal ideals clash with authority/the government are always so interesting. Also he’s really smart!! And solves problems by being clever and tactical because he’s not tank-y enough to just smash/blast through things!! He’s just really cool and I like him a lot :) Also fun fact: it feels very silly to say that Captain America is one of your favorite superheroes when you’re the only American in a room full of Europeans XD

I think the third spot has to go to Yelena. In the comparatively short time I’ve known her, I have sought out almost everything she’s ever been in (I’m missing some of the comics because they’re linked into bigger storylines and aren’t black widow solo books, but I’ve got a lot of them) and grown irreversibly attached to her. Whether it’s her MCU or comic/AA version, her dynamic with Nat and how it relates to her sense of identity is always fascinating, and I love thinking about both who she is in relation to Nat and who she is when she decides to strike out on her own and stop living in Nat’s shadow. I love her dry sense of humor and her no-sugarcoating attitude. The fact that she’s canonically ace makes me unreasonably happy and I will never shut up about it. I hope the MCU continues to do her justice and she gets a complete and satisfying arc that doesn’t end with a scene that feels like a middle finger to everyone who ever loved her. Give her a trilogy please <333

Honorable mentions go to: Gamora (MCU), Songbird (AA), Kamala Khan, Squirrel Girl, Illyana Rasputina, Kitty Pryde, Laura Kinney, Storm (X-Men TAS/97), Xu Xialing (MCU), Nightcrawler (X-Men Evo), and Logan <3333 I have a lot of favorite characters

....which scene I would like to erase from the universe and why.Oooohhhhh there are unfortunately a lot of options for this…. The first one that comes to mind is Nat’s death because it SCARRED me and I think it was such a waste of her character. I feel similarly about Gamora’s death so honestly if it was up to me I’d just erase the soul stone from the MCU entirely because it seems like its only purpose is to kill off female characters. Then there’s Nat’s whole “I’m broken” speech from Age of Ultron that is just awful and should never have been written. Like yes I think Nat does wish she could have kids (or at least the choice to have them), but NOT WRITTEN LIKE THAT!! And a more structural complaint, I hate that Monica Rambeau got stuck in the alternate universe at the end of The Marvels and I wish it never happened. It just leaves the movie feeling so unfinished and unsatisfying! I wanted a conclusion to that movie’s story, not set up for the next story! Tony Stark got to fall back through the wormhole so why doesn’t Monica??? It was a really awful ending to what I thought was an overall decent movie that really soured it for me. So yeah, I think those three are the scenes/plot beats I would erase.

OH WAIT ONE MORE. The post-credits scene of Black Widow. It is absolutely beautiful right up until the moment where what’s-her-face shows up and starts casually talking about revenge on Clint. Like, SHUT UP. LET ME HAVE MY EMOTIONS. It is the one and only post-credits scene I will not watch because it annoys me so much, which SUCKS because the first half of it is so good. So yeah. I’d just cut what’s-her-face out of it entirely. Begone, exposition lady. Okay now I’m done complaining.

NAT AND YELENA:

...the scene that I think shows just how awesome they really are.

How about every scene either of them has ever been in? XD For Nat the first one that always comes to mind is her introduction scene in Avengers 1 where she’s tied to the chair. I vividly remember watching that scene for the first time and being in awe of everything about it. “I’m in the middle of an interrogation, this moron is giving me everything.” is SUCH an iconic power shift and then she follows it up with the most nonchalantly incredible fight scene and escape, effortlessly proving that she is the absolute best in the world at what she does and there was never a moment where she wasn’t in control of the situation. Truly my jaw was on the floor and I have not stopped thinking about it since 2012.

Yelena’s most awesome scene is a little harder for me to pin down because she has a lot of awesome moments but not as many full scenes focused on her. If I had to choose though, I think the dinner table scene from Black Widow is a strong contender because there’s so much emotion and really important character stuff there (“the best part of my life was a lie and none of you told me” kills me every time, augh). In terms of pure ‘cool fight is cool’ I’m also a big fan of her reunion fight with Nat because the choreography is really creative and the cinematography and framing are just pretty. 

...the scene that I think adds depth to their character or the relationship this character has with someone.

Ohoho I have several of these. Also I’m going to focus specifically on their relationship to each other because otherwise we’ll be here all day

For the MCU: The vest scene/that bit where they’re drinking beer and bandaging Yelena’s wound. I love the blend of banter and heart, and I think that the vest is an incredibly compelling character piece. The widows finding their own identities outside of the Red Room is SO important to me and I just love everything about how it’s written. Also the push and pull of Yelena diving straight into forging her own life and personhood vs Natasha having spent the last 10 or so years staying fairly confined to the Black Widow identity is interesting. Nat never stopped being a spy/assassin, she just changed who she was working for, and I think this scene with Yelena forces her to confront that for really the first time. I desperately wish we’d gotten this movie earlier in the MCU so that this could’ve been a proper turning point in her character arc that could’ve been explored in future movies… but that’s a WHOLE ‘nother kettle of fish

For Avengers Assemble:

The scene at the end of 3x14 Seeing Double when they have that confrontation about choosing what they want their lives to be and oh hang on a second is that a thumb drive with information about Natasha’s pre-Red Room past????? This scene is so short and so simple AND YET I have been losing my mind about it for like 3 years at this point. The lines “There’s room for both of us, there’s room for all of us.”/”I don’t share” and “You can’t help me, I’m made to destroy” (heartbreaking delivery on that last one btw) are so good and are along the same thematic lines as my fave comic scene (see below) which is very fun. Yelena in this episode has such wonderful complexity in such a short time and I am DEVASTATED that it doesn’t really carry through to her other episodes on the show. (making her a villain minion was a WASTE of her character but that’s another rant) And oh yeah, did I mention THE THUMB DRIVE???? AA writers you can’t just drop “[this is]your memories, your childhood before the Red Room. Want to find out who you are? How to break free from being someone else’s creation? This is your chance…” and then NEVER RESOLVE IT. Like, was Yelena telling the truth??? What information did she have?? Why was she carrying this around?? And most importantly, what does Natasha DO with it???? The last shot we see of this drive zooms in on it lying on the floor next to Yelena’s abandoned stinger gauntlet (this shot is implied to be Nat’s pov as it is following her eyeline from the preceding shot). And then it’s just never seen or referenced again for the rest of the show??? Like I know the message of the episode is that Nat’s past doesn’t matter, it’s the life she’s built for herself that’s important, but you’d think we’d at least get some closure in the form of seeing her destroy it/leave it behind/etc. This scene was the spark of my very long WIP Red Shadows (and the entire Nat backstory series of which this fic is a part) btw so I can thank it for at least 15 fic ideas. I am very unhinged about it.

For the comics:

THIS scene. I love it so much I have a photo of this page in my camera roll two separate times.

It’s such a beautiful illustration of their comic dynamic and an amazing insight into Nat’s own self-perception. She hates being the Black Widow and would like nothing more than to live a life where she gets to be a person (the very next page after this one has the PERFECT line “Why be the Widow when you could be Yelena?”) but she keeps being the Widow because it’s all she feels she can do. Good stuff. I love the MCU sibling dynamic so much, but I’m also really glad this version of Yelena and Nat’s dynamic exists. The whole conflict of “I’d be a better Black Widow than you” vs “You deserve better than to be Black Widow” is delicious. I highly recommend this comic run. (Devin Grayson 2001, the trade paperback is usually sold as ‘Black Widow: The Itsy Bitsy Spider’)

...a headcanon I have about this character.

These are both for Avengers Assemble canon because I can’t think of any specific headcanons for the MCU or comics.

Nat wears her hair loose in defiance of all practicality as both a symbol of self-determination (because she was forced to keep her hair short/tied back when she was in the Red Room) and as a handicap to hold herself back from her more violent training. Having to work around her hair makes it harder for her to accidentally kill or seriously injure someone. 

I don’t so much have headcanons for AA Yelena as I have an entire detailed arc planned for her across multiple fics (I think part of this is because she’s such a minor character in canon that I personally have a difficult time coming up with headcanons that aren’t specifically related to expanding her story) so uh, spoilers for fic plans I guess? The resolution I have planned for her redemption arc is having her join SHIELD and developing a friendship/mentor+mentee relationship with Sharon Carter, which I hope will be as compelling on page as it is in my head. They go out for coffee once a week to gossip snarkily and de-stress. :))

Sorry for the essay lol, I have many thoughts :))

[oblivionsdream]

Alright I think I’m done answering questions for the night! Thanks to everyone who sent them in!! I do still intend to try and answer the rest when I have time but I may have to answer them with just text instead of art because tbh I got more than I thought I would and I don’t think I’ll have time to draw out responses for all of them.
