Hi Jani🥀I accidentally found you on Twitter I wasn't into loa but I did know it works,I just thought it's not gonna work for me but for the past 1 month I was really upset and depress and then I found you about a week ago and then I wasn't able to stop,I had a friend who is into loa,and she recommended me to read yours and @stateswscarlet threads and I was very desperate at this point I took a whole day and read your thread and,then I decided to persist in an assumption honestly it was so easy thanks to you and scarlet. I have manifested my cyst away in just 2 days of persisting honestly I was fulfilled in just a day I was treating my cyst just like a small scratch instead of putting it on pedestal.

Now even manifesting a mansion feel like a small thing🙂. Thankyou once again.

WOAHHHHH IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND THANKS SO MUCH FOR READING MY TWITTER THREADS!!! Tell ur friend thanks for recommending me😏.

EXACTLYYY LOA IS JUST A DECISION!! U DECIDED U DIDNT HAVE THE CYST AND PERSISTED SO OFC IT WENT AWAY. and the way you say even manifesting a mansion feels easy makes me so happy cuz nothing can ever be hard since you are limitless!!! congrats on your success storyyy🫶🏽

happy diwali haitch!! 🪔 diwali is the festival of lights and your blog, your written pieces, the way you answer asks, feels like a little bedside lamp that's there when you need comfort, tid bits of fun or even spice!! i hope there's lots of light and happiness in your and the haitch familys lives!! thankyou for writing the yummiest fics and for answering asks with so much love (this is my first ask to you but i love reading others' and your responses to them as well :D)

happy diwali again! im telepathically sending you my fav sweets 💗

Happy Diwali! I'm fairly well attuned with the festival, actually. I've been fortunate enough to care for a lot of celebrating couples, including a few whose babies have been born on Diwali.

Those delivery rooms were always lively and full of joy after the births. At one point, I had to frogmarch a very excited pair of grandparents out of the room, because I hadn't yet mopped the 'just given birth' off of the floor. They forgave me and fed me after, though, which was very good of them.

Our middle sons' nursery/daycare is also exquisitely multicultural, and they celebrate every cultural holiday going. Today was a mix of pumpkins and lamps, and honestly, it worked. It was very pretty when I collected him this afternoon.

I'm thrilled you enjoy my Asks as much as I do. I feel like there's a sincere community spirit to my blog that, I hope, makes people feel warm and welcome.

I've just eaten a little pot of ice cream, so I shall telepathically send you that, in exchange for what I'm sure are some of the most glorious sweets ever created (seriously, sweets around Diwali?? They look like gems in treasure chests).

Thank you so much. A very happy Diwali to you.

Love,

-- Haitch xxx

💜💜🥳🥳🥳🥳 HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIDGET!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳💜💜

(this was meant to post yesterday actually during their bday but tumblr shat itself ARRRGHHHH… alas..)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY FAVOURITE OUR WONDERLAND CHARACTER WHOM I LOVE WITH ALL MY HEART 🥹🥹💜 featuring my lovely friends who enable my insanity

edited floaty gidget and me being stupidly sappy n rambley under the cut..

okay so I started playing our wonderland like a year ago now and safe to say its like totally taken over my life 🥹 and gidget. aagh. gidget. aagh. aaagh!!!!

im really bad at articulating stuff (probably on account of my mental impairment but… YKNWO… XD) and there is lots of feelings and thoughts and agh gidget. GIDGETTT!!!! i will try my best to word

our wonderland as a whole has grown to mean a shit ton to me (but ill talk more abt that at length in a later post) and i love all the characters so so fucking much and especially gidget and iggy. especially gidget, oh gidget has thieved away with this aching heart of mine. or something.

im always extremely drawn to n obsessed w characters and storylines around like… a self suppression, muting, coiling up into some unreal ideal and reality so deeply it becomes some 'new reality', until you can barely see yourself anymore…. im crazy abt that shit. it rules. and gidget is all that. and also just a silly illy billy booly looly who i want to put in my mouth and chew up like a wad of paper. uh

i think about them like all the time 24/7 366 (cause its a leap year!) and im always like. thinking on new angles and perspectives and little intricacies and probably a solid 80% of it is just all in my head but god. i love them sm they are so awesome n well written n silly n WAAAAAAAAAAAGH

i love gidget so much. i love our wonderland so much. thankyou carrot so much for your wonderful phenomenal storytelling, characters and art, im like consistently entranced and blown away by it istg.

again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIDGET!!!!!!!!! 🥳🥳🥳💜💜💜🥹 and i hope all of you have very fantastic days. i luv this game n fandom n gidget so much. life may be very stormy and dark and scary but oh it truly is joyous i think. but maybe thats a little too sappy even for me

i eep now

goodnight !

(oh and heres the floaty gidget. im really proud of how it turned out. i keep on flying around the print out of it and saying 'look they have smelled some delicious pie…' i am a very predictable and simple person.)

[gardensnakie]

you. are so cool actually. you are cool and amazing and i am very happy to be your mutual even if we don’t talk that much. you draw so well omg

also ISaT best game tied with OMORI

……..tho i must ask.. isafrin or sifloop

i personally like sifloop because i like the “i hate you let’s cuddle” dynamic. it’s not romantic ofc but i like them better,,,

-some thing you’re mutuals with have fun figuring out who :)

thank you so much thankyou :3 and for the question, I'm already attached to Isafrin but I can see why people prefer the dynamic of sifloop and it's actually pretty cool

I like that hatred and indirect teasing that hints to romance- it's like Loop acts like they and Sif already had a rough divorce (that one scene where Loop says they feel that they're the 'partner waiting at home' and joking/non-joking about how they were betrayed about Siffrin kissing Isa) WHATS YOUR DEAL LOOP!?!?! And Loop still hates Siffrin, but also cares for them, it's like- not romantic but also like 'you wont meet anyone like me again, you need me cause im useful and also im scared youll become me' (sorta like the time loop gets upset when siffrin uses the dagger on himself, he knows itll be like time repeating itself and the spiraling will come)

But yeah its pretty cool ^^

[the-tarot-witch22]

Okay so first of all..i love you sm!! Thankyou so very much for always giving me the best and appreciating my efforts. It means like sm to me. I am literally like *crying* because the reading was so emotional and like ahhh!!

The way you write the feedback in sm detail it means so much!! Thankyou to you because of you i was able to more encouraged in doing this, like it means sm and tbh i always get this too that your man's healthy and fit. He definitely seems so like book coded as you said no wonder he attracts lots of women because like look at him-!! But don't worry he's definitely just yours and gonna spoil you in both uhm uhm..ways. Also i get it your ektonswrre coming out too as if your souls were craving for each other, it's so beautiful yet painful to see but I'm sure that the distance rn is there for a reason and the union would be just beautiful. Rooting for you two always 🫶🏻🤍

Now coming to my reading first of all let me start from moodboard!! Uhm uhm it was so like golden retriever and black cat coded that i absolutely loved it because he's so my type!!- as I've said i love men who have a balanced energy and he seems so like it.

You've told me only that he can have black hair and the way I was imagining things already with those pictures it's so like..i want him rn lol.

Coming to the reading!!- this long?? This is like spoiling me...and did i liked it?? I absolutely loved everything about it. Okay so In the first few sentences only I'm dead because I'm actually the eldest daughter and 1st kid so this..."ik you are independent but let me do it for you words" made me melt asap. I got protective and older too like...mature?? family oriented?? Falls harder?? Love Travel?? Gold driven?? Bae my bed is ready I mean hands. Ngl his falls harder is so real because no wonder man didn't had good luck in past relationships...ahh i got rich too. Also yeah baby you only told me this that he'd be so comfortable around me and i am absolutely here for it. His love languages???? When are you taking me then?? Also the messages??? And he's emotional...now he made me too. Like i love you too pookie...ahhh trying hard not he cry again. But i actually got this before as well that we are connected with each other in some way spiritually and it's just like...*stopppp gonna ahh* also the other words and what he said at last...bye.

Hun don't stress yourself too much the reading resonated!! It's all good boo...im literally so thankful to you that i can't explain in words thankyou so much and the way you explained in the language of cards through intuition only speaks a lot about your abilities so don't ever question them!! Sending my warmest hugs to you... thankyou so much hun, I'm so greatful.

Take care 🫶🏻🤍✨🧿

Thank you so much for participating and always being a sweetheart! I appreciate you so much! and for my reading baby you deserve the compliments and feedback everything resonated so much and i totally agree with the distance rn! thank you for rooting for us! and i am rooting for u toooo! always! he shouldddd! i am so excited to meet him!

thank you for detailed feedback i appreciate it so much!! i am so happy and glad the reading resonated with you! i am so glad you loved the reading and he just kept sending me those messages for you like he comforting you, telling you he is here for you! ik you are independent but let me do it for you words" made me melt asap. i am so giggling hard rn! you deserve the best sweetie i love you sm! But i actually got this before as well that we are connected with each other in some way spiritually and it's just like...*stopppp gonna ahh* also the other words and what he said at last...bye. he love you so much i feel that whenever i channel his energy and i am so here for it, you my baby deserves the best, he will give you his best his everything, the way i got goosebumps when you told me you and him are spiritually connected , i am so happy for you my baby thank you for participating!

thank you so much always for you motivation and kindwords! right back at ya sweetie sending my love and hugs! i am grateful to you too! take care as welll!!

[liauditore]

I may be a bit late to this lol but I just realized that ur the person who did the Skizz sacrifice scene in the Limited Life MAP and I'm so serious when I say it's my favorite part. I love every bit about it, but the part where Etho actually swings the axe is soooo good!!! If feels like you can really feel the impact of the swing and then the others' reactions, even just in silhouette, made it feel so real and sad and tragic AND OMG ITS JUST REALLY GOOD. 10/10

not late at all thankyou so much ahkdakhlhkldash im very taken aback by how many people like my part 😭😭

making it was a very. less is more lesson for me if that makes sense? i originally had cuts to impulse and tango and etho's faces after the execution and an impact frame when the axe hits him and it all felt a little bit too. busy? silly? just letting the viewer sit with the final shot was more memorable, i felt like.

original animatic here for comparison:

thankyou again this project turned out so well im so happy ppl like it as much as i do!!!!

[tauforged]

#1: I love finding someone with a unique/rare ship or headcannon.

#2: the interaction with Sigma and Sombra, where Sigma is saying Moira is going to run some tests on him, how do you think Ramattra would respond to hearing that?

#3 do they have any nick names for each other?

AW TEEHEE THANKYOU!!! its been a while since ive had the motivation to like, draw or write anything for em but rest assured im thinking about them so so so much... youve activated my autism trap card though i have an INSANE amount of convoluted opinions on the nature of character dynamics between sigma and sombra as well as sigma and moira and im taking this opportunity to babble about it. sorry in advance.

as for the interaction, personally im of the opinion that said 'tests' are literallly.... just tests. as in like, yknow, bloodwork, scans to make sure the implants and augments he has are actually working to redirect excess pressure and kinetic energy from his vital organs when using his abilities ... ive talked about how i think that sorta stuff works more in this post but tldr is that a lot of the tech and equipment hes using is of his own design and VERY experimental, hes pretty much flying blind here so he kind of has to make changes as he goes and so it's kinda important that his health and safety are taken into account. and he also has a bit of a uhhh. demonstrable history of disregarding his own safety for the sake of his research. it would kind of make sense that theyd be going out of their way to make sure someone stays on him about actually doing the damn tests and keeping track of the results. it just so happens that he's really averse to letting just anyone Examine (tm) him because of. yknow. the everything. and moira happens to fit the bill of being A. someone he feels he can trust to not take things too far (whether or not he's making a good choice here is up for debate, but i think he could do worse) and B. actually have a degree of knowing what she's doing. i definitely think that the only reason she's bothering at least initially is her own curiosity about everything he's got going on, but he also does just really feel like the type to jsut kind of naturally be very endearing . ive said before that a lot of their interactions read as playful to me, at least on his end - he DEFINITELY sounds like he's messing with her on purpose. i think he does genuinely regard her as a friend, and for the most part, he's probably right - even if she's a bit cranky about it. i have a LOT of thoughts about their relationship too honestly probably far too many to cram into this one post LMFAO i think about the dynamic a lot. im a moira apologist idc i think that she is capable of being nice sometimes. just because shes kind of a cunt sometimes doesnt mean shes needlessly cruel, like not only do i feel like messing with his head and experimenting on him given his history would be kinda kicking him while he's down. but ALSO, i feel like she's smart enough to know that making him an enemy would be a baaaad idea. he can literally explode people with his mind. she knows better than to give him any reason to be genuinely mad at her, and i do think he would absolutely NOT tolerate any kind of treatment like that ever again unless it was on his terms and he had the power to just leave if it got to be too much. even as it is, i think the entire process is a bit of a sore spot for him and not exactly something he's thrilled about, hence his hesitation in that interaction - not because it's happening against his will so much as he's regarding it the same way i think about having to go get blood drawn. it's not fun, but it's gotta happen somehow.

all that to say, i think upon overhearing discussion of said 'tests' without further context mattra would NOT be happy about it, likely getting defensive the same way sombra does. he'd probably be a lot harder to dissuade than she is tbh, i dont know if he'd really take moira's word for it that there's nothing underhanded going on here unless sig told him so himself, and even then it would still put his hackles up. he's probably very nosy about it for a very long time. just to be safe.

as far as nicknames/pet names go, in my mind theyre both very... awkward about these kinda things i guess if that makes sense? emotional vulnerability comes easily for NEITHER of them, between sig still recovering from decades of isolation and mattra just naturally being very guarded and bitter (for good reason!) and not used to outwardly expressing his care for others, especially not for some random human who seems to have decided that they're friends. to me, their dynamic is very much one of tentativeness and battling with distrust and insecurity. i think it would take a very, very long time to get there, and even longer to actually be able to casually say stuff like that without wanting to explode and die on the spot. i do think sig is a bit more outwardly affectionate than mattra, but even then, a lot of it is kinda tempered by the fact that he's just very forward with everyone about everything at this point - he's kind of desperate for positive connections with others that he can hold onto, so he's reached a point where it doesn't take much to get him to consider someone a friend and he's not exactly hiding it anymore. oh, i dropped something and you picked it up before i had a chance to? sick, we are now besties and i would kill for you.

i think that sort of attitude would catch ramattra off guard and he'd not really know how to react to any of it. sig could call him anything at this point, but if it's in an affectionate tone he WILL bluescreen about it. ramattra.exe has encountered an error and must restart

i do really like sig's valentines voiceline, so i might just roll with 'starlight' even if it's a bit cheesy... hell, now that i think about it, i think he'd do that specifically BECAUSE it's cheesy and will probably elicit an eye-roll or a 'stop that'. he seems to enjoy pushing people's buttons. maybe bothering his friends is his love language idk

[meatriarchived]

not to be a complete sap at six thirty in the fuckin morning but like.

Its been a trip and a half this past what month and a half maybe since i came back to this account? After leaving it over nearly two years ago and expecting not to, especially after everything that happened last year

(can skip over stricken part ♡) ------(finishing degree, brothers dog passing from cancer, moms cancer diagnosis, helping dad be her caretaker and watching her wither over the two months of treatment, family being insufferable and unreliable and still demanding shit from her during that time, the stress of preparing for my graduation and losing her right after, my youngest cat passing)

and the last thing on my mind being trying to write. In spite of mom telling me to get back into it, it was just one of those things where i couldnt really find the push to do so. Grief for my sister twenty years ago gave me the drive to write because she used to write poetry, and grief for mom and my cat-baby had seemingly killed it this time last year.

I really wasnt expecting to come back to tumby to write when i came back here, and i expected that itd be a week before i disappeared into the ether again, but ive genuinely had so much fun this last month and a half writing and chatting over disc - which was also VERY MUCH unexpected because i really never was comfortable with using it or joining servers but im seriously so happy i finally did - with those who have gone on silly lil tangents with me over these silly lil guys on my roster. Who've made all these different lil dynamics with me, for all the boards and the affiliates and all of that.

Ive really had such a good time the last few weeks, its given me a much needed push in terms of getting out of bed yknow? Not letting grief have me in such a chokehold.

And its very much appreciated, truly, to just come on here and be silly and feel welcomed. It's something very much new in spite of being all over the rpc for years. You guys are seriously such a breath of fresh air and im very happy and very lucky i feel being able to write and talk about a game and characters i quite literally have never even played dhudsb

All that to say, ive just been feeling alot more lighter since coming back and alot of its to do with how sweet and lovely and welcoming yall have been.

Before i let myself get any Worse on the sappiness, just leaving a Thank You for yalls patience with me esp this past week tryna get my damn brain back from being lost in luggage sbdjvud vacay brainrot is still lingering but hopefully goes away soon.

Its just been very nice since returning. Yall have been more than lovely vibing with and letting me ramble about muses with near nothing to them that ive yoinked from gun to my others from near non-existant r.pcs like my remakes and trials peeps. And with my little bird.

Im a ridiculously reserved and quiet person and my anxietys got a chokehold still that makes me hesitant in reaching out / talking as often as i wish but i do feel like ive started poking out of that since joining the server. (I also often sort of. Blank out. Time passes me by very strangely and it sometimes comes with me not realizing hrs or at times literal days have passed without me registering it has. So, especially thankyou on being patient with me c;)

Thank you for the last month and a half ♡ its fuckin wild to me that its both been a month already and that its only been a month. Feels like its been simultaneously much longer and much shorter somehow.

[27paperlilies]

Butterfly field

Plot: its your boyfriends birthday and you have a very deserved treat waiting for him

Warnings: none just fluff!

Ever since you and Chris started dating it became obvious to you he cared deeply about nature and wildlife, sometimes you wouldn’t see him for hours because he was out looking for a rare lizard.

Chris’s birthday was near and you knew he didn’t care much for it or “a day just reminding you that your getting older” as he put it. He was never stoked about it but it didn’t mean you didn’t try every year to make it special.

This yeah he had been talking about butterflies non stop, it was so cute when you would let him ramble on, his cheeks would glow red and the sweetest smile would plaster his face.

The morning of Chris’s birthday crept up and you managed to convince him to go ‘shopping’ with you but really you where taking him to a butterfly field that was an hours drive. You never said happy birthday to him or made it obvious what was going on and you could tell by the shadowed look on his face it upset him but he wouldn’t admit it. The car drive there was quite, not filled with his usual playful giggles

“Whats wrong baby?” You ask, keeping your eyes on the road

“Nothing im okay” he sounded like an upset child and as much as it saddened you, you where exited to see his face of surprise.

You finally arrived and thanked the stars there was no huge signs leading to it

“Babe theres no shopping centre here?” Chris questioned, stepping out of the car

“Follow me darling” you took his hand softly and he trailed behind you a little taking in the view of the huge mountains.

You covered his eyes with your hand so that the plan wasn’t ruined by a butterfly swooshing past him

“Keep following” you led him to the middle of the felid and you both sat down, perfect view of the mountains and the butterfly’s s that landed on the plants that surrounded you

Slowly you took your hand away and he blinked his eyes a few times “oh my god its-“ a butterfly flew past you both and he looked at you in joy “did you see that!?” “Baby we are in a butterfly field”

Chris looked around him, his eyes finally adjusting to the many colourful butterfly’s that gracefully flew around. You caught his face and he was smiling wildly, a tear running down his cheek “hey baby dont cry” you patted his cheek and he grabbed you into a bear hug “baby thankyou so much” he never let go for a few minutes

An hour of chris telling you all about the diferent tipes of butterflys later he decided he wanted one to land on him so you both sat very very still. A orange butterfly circled his face a few times and eventually landed on his nose, you both sat in silence before he let out a gentle laugh making the butterfly fly away, his head still following it.

He was so gorgeous and you where beyond lucky.

For the next five year he told everyone about how his amazing girlfriend gave him the best present ever and never once complained about a birthday again…

Welcome back queen of queens 💘 I have missed you and your fabulous writing oh so much

Your 2 new stories have made my week so much more pleasant as it started out really stressful. Use me universe will always be so dear to my heart and will never fail to get me all rialed up 🫠 loved the cute little date with ethan and us seeing their relationship developing and ofc them being absolute horndogs 🥵

Upon your comeback I have also reread the entirety of Gay Enough one of my fave series OF ALL TIME and I am here to humbly ask you if you could maybe spoil some cute family moments you might have planned to hold me over until you bless us again with some damithan throuple fun 🫶🏼

thankssssss 💕💖🌸💓💖💕💗💖🌸💞💝💞💖🌸

wow arent you just the sweetest thing ever?! thankyou for such a sweet message❣️

im really happy to be back& im extra happy that i could help turn your week around

i dont really have anythings planned cos im just not working on gay enough material at the moment(got other projects im dedicating my time to, if triple shot can get to 100notes then i'd be willing to share a preview)

but um random headcanon i was thinking of cos i just binged the whole paranormal activity series: cosmo loves creepy things(duh)& gets into watching horror movies while hes still kinda young. it becomes a thing he& ethan bond over, they'll discuss theories about lore/motives the whole drive home after seeing a new movie at the cinema(cos you gotta see scary movies at the cinema, thts one of their rules)& they'll anticipate new movies coming out,etc

one time a new horror movie is about to come out, cosmo& ethan are planning when to see it... but then ethan gets really sick& cant possibly go. damiano steps up to take cosmo, but damiano HATES scary movies, he doesnt get the appeal at all, avoids them at all costs

so he spends most of the movie watching it through his fingers. he freaks at every jumpscare, spilling popcorn til cosmo is like 'im gonna hold it papa'. lots of muttering 'dont go in there, what are you, crazy'& groaning while cosmo is like 'oh cool, wow how scary would that be if it happened in real life', etc. then on the drive home, damiano is playing peppy pop music to change the mood. cosmo wants to discuss the scariest(therefore best) parts of the movie, damiano: 'idk the whole thing'. he doesnt wanna think about the freaky stuff, doesnt wanna get into theories with cosmo, is very on edge

furthermore, imagining the kids asking damiano questions about his tattoos. eg: 'papa what does that tattoo mean?' - 'it means i was bored'

also, all of the kids being expert swimmers, better than the other kids in their class cos of handson swimming lessons with the dads

also they never ever EVER have a gender reveal party during any of their pregnancies

hope that holds you over for a bit

WIP Wednesday

thankyou to @thatsgoodsquishy0 @fangbangerghoul @aro-pancake for the tag. I tag any writers i follow who want to share what they are working on! Here's a first rough draft of the start of the next chapter of Chasing your star

Seren’s eyes blinked opened slowly to the harsh white light of the scanner bed and the familiar sharp voice of supervisor Lin. Perhaps, she hoped to herself as she woke up, that this would be a redo of her universe she could try again in, this time with a little more caution. ”Dusty! Snap out of it!” She sat up, her head swimming still, but it was something she’d now got used to. Heller who had been standing next to Lin, reached over and helped her steady herself which she was grateful for. ”Take it easy now. You were out cold. Looks like you took a knock, no physical damage though. Uh, you know who you are? You got Argos gear on, but you’re not on our records.” That was different, Seren thought, very different to how she remembered Heller speaking to her before. That’s  when she looked around the room she was in. All the equipment she knew well, was in the process of being packed up into crates. It looked like Argos was in the process of clearing out. She blinked again to look at Lin and Heller who now stood in front of her, confusion written on both their faces. That’s when Seren noted Lin wasn’t carrying the artifact as in the first time and it sounded like they had no idea who she was. By now she’d learnt to think fast to not sound totally insane upon waking and work with what she could glean from her surroundings. They didn’t have their cutters trained on her so didn’t see her as a threat, which was a good start and as she glanced down at what she was wearing, she could see the Argos miner’s logo on her suit. So even though they didn’t have her on record, they thought she worked for the company. That she could work with. Maybe find out if the artifact was still here.

”yeah, I’m Seren Jones…What do you mean, im not on the records? Last thing I remember I was hired Constellation and was going to retrieve something from a opened cave. Then I blacked out, think I must have fell…” She saw Lin and Heller look at each other, even more confused before Lin scowled at Seren, then shook her head as she surrendered what ever anger she had directed at the new comer. ”Constellation never told me they’d hired a second crew... though that's not a big surprise i guess. I don’t know if they thought another anomaly was here, but Barrett picked up what ever was in that cave ages ago. We just came back as Argos wanted to salvage this place. Then we heard some weird sound in the cave and found you.” So it had been here, Seren breathed a sigh of relief. With the way the artifacts and temples hopped around locations between universes, this first one seemed to be a fixed point in all of them.  But if Barrett had collected this one a while ago, what did that mean for the others and how much time had passed?  It was time to make her excuses and head to the Lodge to find out. ”They didn’t give me details, just I needed to pick something up. I wondered why the place was empty though. Went looking around with my ship to see if Argos had set up elsewhere too, Inc some old structure where I left my ship nearby, but no deal, so I popped back here, heard a weird sound in that cave and yeah….that’s the last thing I remember.” That would give her an excuse to head back to her ship which would be in that same crater waiting for her and explain to them why no ship was on the landing pad. Heller seemed happy with the explanation as he patted Lin on the back and struck a far more relaxed pose. ”Well Lin, You did say Constellation is a bag of secrets, but they did pay us well so not all bad I guess. Shame none of them hired us after this gig was up though.” ”Probably because I told Barrett where to shove it.” Seren had to press her lips hard together to stop herself laughing. These two sounded so familiar, it was a joy to hear. But she couldn’t stay to chat, not now she knew where she had to head to next. ”Thanks for the assist, I appreciate that. But if my mission is a bust I need to find out why I was sent here and that means I need to go speak to that bag of secrets. “ ”Sure, sure. Don’t mind us. Just uh…Maybe tell Barrett if he needs an outpost manager or two, that uh…I apologise for my outburst.” Seren nodded to Lin, smiling as she stood up, picking up her deep mining helmet that was next to the scanner bed and headed towards the airlock hatch. ”Of course, I’ll make sure to. Thanks again both of you.” It was weird having to play pretend with people she knew, to take on a role each time. Part of her wished this wasn’t the flashpoint of her rebirth. That instead she could wake up on her Guardian ship as a freshly created Starborn, but that seemed crazy and it also would leave her completely in the dark about what kind of universe she was in each time. At least this way she had some loose idea. Cycling through the lock she stepped outside and the operation on Vectera was definitely being salvaged. A huge cargo ship sat on the landing pad, with crates and people in heavy spacesuits bringing them into it. She slipped behind a stack of crates before any of them saw her and headed towards where her Guardian would be.

I loved what? like it's hard, honestly, it felt so relatable at times because of her constant worrying about studies and tests but, the fluff warmed me up so so much— i was dying for any of them to confess during the whole freaking fic and the small portion of angst made the story so much more emotional (i loved seungcheol and jihoon here) i can't stress enough just how happy I felt when I woke up to this 😭🩷
