[angel-fruitcake]

ok fuck WB and the CW but this was kinda funny

[aurorialwolf]

Ok I’m feeling better (got burnt out) so now I’m gonna continue my posts about next gen redacted ocs!! I made a custom tag for these posts, so you can click that to see the rest of them :D (it’s tagged on this post)

This time: David’s son, Dante!

- His full name is Dante Gabriel Shaw

- His nickname is probably smth like Danny, so Davey and Danny lol

- He looks a lot like Gabe, his eyes being closer in shade to Gabe’s than David’s, and his facial structure & hair being very similar as well. This makes David both happy and a little sad, which Dante doesn’t understand until he’s a little older and David explains everything about Gabe to him.

- David brings him and Angel to visit Gabe’s grave regularly, and they leave dahlia flowers and honeysuckles (which i stole from other ppls flower hcs sry fhksdhjs)

- He’s besties with Ashlyn (Asher’s daughter) because of course

- He has a sort of inner circle who are all his friends in the pack, so that includes Samuel Jr., Ashlyn, and Milo’s daughter

- He’s always acted like a mini alpha, protecting his friends like David does, he started mimicking David when he was 2, attempting to do speeches to the rest of the pack toddlers

- He shifted for the first time when he was 14, a week before the winter solstice, and while it was painful, he managed pretty okay. His shifted form is very similar to his dad’s (large black wolf in my hc), but with a white swirl pattern on his right flank.

- He is the most responsible in his friend group, making sure they’re all eating, they’re on time, etc. would absolutely be the guy who has all the papers and passports when they go on an international trip.

- He may act a lot like his dad, having a gruff exterior, but it’s mostly a cover, and he can be a little goofball sometimes, like his other parent (Angel)

- He loves playing minecraft, started when he was 5, and co-ops with Angel often to make cool builds

Ok now for official alpha / security company stuff that he’d do!!

- He’s David’s only kid (in this version of things) so he’s naturally expected to become Alpha

- So, he often shadows his dad to important events, as well as security gigs

- One of the major things is he accompanies his dad to Solaire-hosted events, and while his dad greets William and shakes hands with him, Dante greets Emilie (William’s daughter), and shakes hands with her.

- She enjoys messing with him, and has held him in a couple second trance to see how he reacts (like I said in her post, she’s not great with mortals), which he eventually, after a couple meetings, can reliably break out of.

- Usually at these events, he stands around with his dad mostly separated from the vampires, interacting only with those who approach them, because David is worried about him being vulnerable to attacks or trances

- Luckily for him, Samuel Jr. (Sam’s son) is a regular attendee at these events, as William invites him, Vivienne (Vincent’s daughter), and their parents. Of course, Samuel is very protective of his friends, so whenever Dante has been at risk, he’s protected him, albeit maybe too violently, but it gets his point across.

- Now I feel like it’s a good time to mention that Samuel jr and Dante are boyfriends / eventual mates!! So it adds an extra layer considering Samuel has a rightful claim to him (the magic bite thingy), mostly for the purpose of being allowed by vampire law to protect him somewhat violently 👍 (Samuel also visits Gabe’s grave independently to leave flowers, because he’s paranoid about getting permission to date and eventually propose to Dante cuz blah blah tradition even though Gabe wouldn’t care if he were alive)

- He also shadows his dad on security gigs, learning all the best ways to keep large groups safe and orderly in case of an emergency. He also gets properly trained in gun use, just in case, and does pretty alright (they train at a typical gun range after he gets the proper licenses)

- Dante eventually heads his own event security gig, and manages pretty well. He’s doing it with his group of friends, so they goof off a bit over radio, which he scolds them for, though lightheartedly

- He does experience some rough gigs, not ever quite inversion level but there was a time when a clan of vampires descended on a large event being held in a stadium that had similar levels of danger, with luckily less losses

- One day, when Dante is ~25, David gets pretty sick, though is not in any danger, simply is somewhat immobilized and can’t perform his usual duties. Asher takes over, as a beta typically does, but starts trying to convince Dante to take over as alpha, which has been a previous conversation before, especially between Dante and David, but Asher is now making it a bit more urgent, and Dante is resistant to the idea.

- Dante says something along the lines of David not being dead, just sick, so he doesn’t need to take over yet, since he’s scared of taking over so soon. Asher flinches at that, and things become awkward. He eventually apologizes, but Asher insists it’s okay.

- Dante takes some convincing, but eventually decides to step up and take over, after David promises to support him in learning his duties.

- He picks Ashlyn to be his beta, and she does a good job! His takeover of the pack goes pretty well, mostly because everyone was expecting it anyways. David recovers fully, and helps him keep everything orderly, and keeps being in charge of the security company for a few more years before signing that over to him as well.

Ok blocking cause of tcest wtf

*leans in close to microphone* But did I ask?

Anyways guys. If you still wanna follow me but don't wanna see the tcest stuff, remember to block appropriate tags!

Also be grossed out all you want. Fiction is fiction. Oh and um, YES. I do touch grass and I do go to therapy and my therapist agrees with me. So suck my dick or smthn like that. *waves hand dismissively*

Like I said before - if you want to unfollow and/or block me regardless of how hard I do my best to make my page a safe place regardless then that's perfectly fine. I've known ppl who would unfollow writers bc they started writing smut or started doing yandere things or whatever.

Ur comfortability and ur peace is important. But there's absolutely no need to come into my inbox and be nasty. I understand it's "all I post" at least right now. But that's bc I'm transferring my fics to other sites right now so I can expand. The only reason why I'm writing my Bale AU fic is bc I'm hyperfixated on it.

But anyways. Kiss kiss. 💋 Goodbye.

Hello Internet!

I like tumblr because it feels safe and more nice. It’s a weird day because I thought I got cancelled because I liked the colours Blue and Green 🤣🤣 … never thought I’d ever say that…

Weird right? I also keep seeing words like “antis” “solos” and I really don’t know/want to know what it means but now I feel bad because lots of people think I’m not ok. I’m fine! I’m actually laughing now 😂. I just had a FT with my friend Mae and then remembered the internet is not real life (lol)

This all started because I wanted a blue and Green penguin toy instead of a bush baby toy called Linus (we like Linus now)

I guess I just initially panicked because even when people are interacting (but aren’t mentioning me directly) I was still tagged… so I was flooded with….”you’re a freak” “ew” “no” “delete this” and someone actually said “k*ll yourself” and it just felt like it was all directed straight at me and i literally had no clue what went on. I usually post them close things because comments make me feel anxious but recently I’ve been trying to be more interactive. It’s 7am and I just spent the last few mins just reading through (I can’t sleep lol) and realised it was a lot of peoples other conversations, not necessarily directed at me but to do with some sort of fictional story? (I’m not going to look into it, I just want ppl to like my music and make friends)

Yes, I feel better that it wasn’t directly at me however I think human beings should try and speak to each other nicely especially if they’re strangers on the internet. Luckily (minus the horrible ones) , a lot of the tweets made me giggle but I’ll refrain from mentioning colours and mammals. I was also warned to not bring up homes and pregnancy which I do not wish to try and understand but I won’t be mentioning that either. I’ll stick to posting hot pictures of myself and music promo and maybe just try and keep interactions to my hand written letters hehe. I love my darlings but me and the darlings were … VERY confused…

Btw this isn’t some sort of official statement (it’s not that deep lol), I just like using tumblr like an online journal and I do vlogs here which I like and sometimes do long posts like this! I just need to get back to bed so started writing this and I’m now sleepy again.

I love you all

Ps: get off the internet please haha 😂 ❤️

Names /titles weren't important to ozma

I talked about it in a post before but I want to go more into it here about how us didn't view his life or possibly even his other like-minded souls lives is important and that's why the merge has changed so much over the years because he's just viewed those lives as a mission and not as their own people after a while because things became harder and harder with each life and each betrayal he witnessed our head

(sometime Rwby chibi has the truth in it )

Over the years is Oz face to life to life those lies were just that to him lies notice how when he first reincarnated into the first like-minded soul we never learned with his name was who he was if he had a family or anything I'll spend didn't even ask or even realize that there was another person with him

like the God of light told him for he new the man could have had a family a life kids or even been married like imagine you were married to that dude ozma first reincarnated into when you see him years later married at the head of like a new society being formed married to a person people thought was which

And even though over time like Jen said in the Lost Fable Oz did learn to live with his different lives and probably cared for them

But sadly is he started to be betrayed again and again or lose people around him he wanted to have trust with he began to not care and only saw himself as a single person on a single mission

In his time his was ozma the hero but in his new life he was just a man sent to save the world

But sometimes change his life start to have meaning again and matter then names and titles started to mean something to him again

The king of vale

As the king of vale he stop a war ,set up schools with ppl who be come warriors to fight Grimm and use them to help keep the relics safe a long with the maidens, and also by making this school he could secure who the next like-minded soul would be and also secure female candidates to become maidens and constantly keep the relic safe and for hundreds of years this work he started to feel meaning that he was actually getting something for filled and that things were going right for him then in his next life he gets a name ozpin ( not sure if it's his first or last name ) but he starts going by this name

It was said that ozpin was Oscar age when he joined beacon and in a few years ended up taking over the school

And as we now from volume 5 were Raven, yang ,and Weiss talked ppl saw him as a prodigy

And be came well now all over

And then in volume 3 he died but his death wasn't the end he went to his next life

Oscar pine

A life with a full name we now ,no just ozma or ozpin

oscar pine,an name that holds the color of his curse from the god of light and the color of a pine tree green which is his magic and Aura color

There what time ozpin would read Oscar's mind and even took control of Oscar's body during a fight and even in volume 5

try to take control from Oscar because Oscar wanted to tell others the truth about what he was hiding

Ok

--------+

I'm going to make this in to 2 parts 😅 see my page for part to or look in ozma ozpin tags/ Oscar pine tag for next part if as well

i hope it’s ok to piggyback on the point abt europeans criticizing america for the same racism that they perpetuate but: as an american jew most of us came from countries that hurt and killed us like we literally have to update each other about which european countries are safe to be jewish in

ofc its okay! nd tea like its truly so weird to see europeans be like omg all americans need to die when just like they love to say nOt All EUropEaN coUNTriES are the same well not everyone in america has socioeconomic privilege?????? nd the ppl that DO have it are literally YOUR cousins gkagkakgkagk 😐and i saw a post that summed it up neatly that said the white gentile europeans going off the deep end cuz something dares to happen in america are not making posts abt the shit marginalized ppl in their countries are going thru. oh nd the killing thing is the line 'americans only give attention to american issues' is fundamentally untrue. like i see posts abt antisemitism on the rise in europe, femicide in canada, the escape the corset movement in korea, indigenous rights in australia, covid issues in india nd brazil, police violence in africa. THE LGBT AND REPRODUCTION RIGHTS ISSUE IN POLAND. i could go on AND I DO NOT LIVE IN ANY OF THOSE COUNTRIES. if YOU don't see something on YOUR dash that is YOUR problem bc tumblr is not set up to be a news station 😭😭😭😭we can barely sort tags let alone get real time updates from around the world these white europeans just want an excuse to be racist. theyre not 'burnt out' from activism bc u ask them to name a problem going on in africa or asia or hell even an issue that affects black americans or american jewish or muslim ppl ONLY nd they wouldn't be able to. we do this every fucking month idk how bad literacy rates are on tumblr but like.....we talk abt things that are...current news....u can't be mad that we are no longer giving all attention to your news just bc something new happened...like that's how reality works.....u react to.....new things......bc u are....experiencing them......in real time.......

Haikyuu!!│Boys going grocery shopping w/ you! HC’s│Ft. Bokuto, Nishinoya, Terushima, Kuroo & Kunimi

I had this late night idea and just HAD to follow through, the chaos would be O F F T H E C H A R T S. Thank you to @deathcab4daddy​ for helping me brainstorm some good characters for this post lmao I love you bby and can’t wait to do a collab. <3

E N J O Y ~ 

*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧ *:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

BOKUTO:

WHEN I TELL YOU THIS BOI PICKS UP EVERYTHING IN SIGHT LIKE A 6 YEAR OLD

 I FUCKING MEAN IT.

“(Y/N) we need this” 

“Bokuto we do not need a 7th jar of peanut butter.”

 “But (Y/N) it has a squirrel on the front-”

“BOKUTO I SWEAR TO GOD”

Tries to drift on the edge of the cart like something straight outta CSGO and the cart nearly obliterates under his weight.

V e r y l o u d u n e c c e s s a r i l y.

Everyone always stares at y’all when you’re going through the isles bc ur literally escorting a man-child sprawled in a shopping cart who’s going “OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO” at everything he sees like he’s a toddler at the zoo who’s never encountered a chimpanzee before.

Unless you have a bottomless bank account do NOT take him shopping of any kind he is LETHAL.

When you’re at the check-out he turns it into a basketball competition and tries to launch everything perfectly on to the conveyor belt.

Volleyball player? Nah this sis with the NBA now.

Do not ask him to go get something, he will return with at least 9 items you didn’t need and everything BUT the item you requested

He turned up with a whole ass pineapple, a jar of jam, a stick of butter and a bottle of olive oil.

Like,,,where is the correlation in those items???

Once made the mistake of asking him to grab some pads from the hygiene section and specified it HAD to be with wings

Boy showed up ten minutes later and looking very confuzzled.

You questioned why he has a pack of wingless pads in one hand and a can of red bull in the other.

He said it’s because they didn’t have any with wings so he figured the Redbull would suffice and do the job for you.

i-

NISHINOYA:

Can literally fit him in the little cart seat made for kids and he LOVES it lmaoooo IT’S SO CUTE MY HEART.

HE JUST SWINGS HIS LEGS EXCITABLY WHILE YOUR GETTING STUFF AAAAAAA

Ppl give you such weird looks though bc you have a guy who’s at least 14 years older than the intended demographic sitting there and raising his hands in elation over you copping a cookie dough pie and chucking it in.

Again, another who is VERY LOUD FOR NO REASON AT ALL.

Get’s out of the cart after a while bc his legs be growing numb and begins roaming around.

Someone came back with a feral Noya in hand stating “Is this your child” WNDKJWEFNWJEF.

M’AM HE’S LIKE 18 EXCUSE YOU.

Was salty about it for the rest of the day.

Just ruffle his hair and call him Senpai 

Problem solved.

Picks up tons of exotic fruit that look more like plastic or fuzzy poisonous plants and begs you to get them.

“Noya what the fuck is that.”

“...a Pitaya.”

“...”

“Can we get it-”

“no.”

“(Y/N)-”

“I SAID NO DAMMIT”

Last time you bought some strange fruit he took it to practise and got Tanaka to spike it LMAOOO

IT SPLATTERED E V E R Y W H E R E

AND OVER DAICHI’S SHIRT.

He begged you to no longer allow Noya to purchase weird fruits from then on since he is like a child with a nerf gun.

He once picked up a phat wrinkly purple fruit and turned to you asking if it was an overgrown raisin.

“Noya sweetie that’s a Date.”

HE FULLY TSK’ED AND THREW IT BACK SINCE IT REMINDED HIM OF DATE TECH I CAN’T.

My boy out here defending Asahi even in the Grocery Isles.

We stan a loyal king.

TERUSHIMA:

Another one who tries to stand on the ledge and the cart wheels almost collapse because it wasn’t designed to hold the weight of a young adult.

Oh young adult??? Sorry I mean’t MAN CHILD.

He treats a shopping experience as a time to practise his aim apparently because he ALWAYS THROWS SHIT AT YOU TO THE POINT YOU’RE THREATENED TO BE KICKED OUT.

Definitely picks up phallic looking objects and places them against his crotch, snorting and saying “Like what you see (Y/N)?”

Homeboy is stood there in front of a wife and child presenting his cucumber appendage for the world to see.

He once grabbed a pair of fat ass melons and pressed them against his chest, shaking them and belting the lyrics to ‘My Milkshake’ while begging you to SQUEEZE HIS MELONS.

“Look (Y/N) they’re bigger than yours!”

I just- 

I give up.

Constantly tries to sneak mutli-packs of energy drinks into the cart to the point you’re convinced he is going to keel over from heart failure and kidney stones by the age of 20.

Has his airpods in 90% of the time and treats the isles as his personal dance floor.

He busting them MOVES and performing the MJ moonwalk while in the dairy section.

ONCE HE SLID TOO FAST AND SLIPPED ON HIS REAR IN FRONT OF LIKE 12 PEOPLE LMAOO

He was DEAD silent the rest of the trip.

Probably the most serene shopping experience you’ve had to date.

The checkout clerks occasionally hit on Mr. Sore-Ass over here.

Until he opens his mouth and they realise he’s a total dolt and question how you have the patience for him.

You don’t know either honestly.

The whole bagging experience is spent with them shooting you sympathetic glances as if to say ‘sis you shoulda’ left him at home’.

Yes, yes you should have.

Never a dull moment with Teru as your shopping partner.

KUROO:

LITERALLY LIKE A MIDDLE-AGED MAN OR A TODDLER WHEN Y’ALL GO SHOPPING THERE IS NEVER AN EVEN MIDDLE-GROUND.

Frequently cracks lame-ass food puns or dad jokes that make you want to crawl into a hole and die.

You have competitions on who can come up with the most and the loser always faces a penalty.

Kuroo and creating penalties do NOT mix safely so you better hope you win.

“I love you a waffle lot.” 

Proceeds to hold up a wrapped waffle.

Ok that one was kinda cute you’ll let it slide.

“I ap-peach-iate you Kuroo.”

Cue HyenaLaugh.mp3

“Want a pizza me baby? Bitch peas, doughnut take me lightly.”

You changed your mind.

You didn’t talk to him the duration of that shopping experience, no penalty could be as horrifying as what just came out of his mouth.

“(Y/N)... sometimes I feel like you don’t carrot all.”

You slapped him with said carrot and obviously had to pay for it after.

You forced him to eat it raw.

He is the definition of Neutral disaster when you go shopping.

Shitty food puns aside, he is actually very responsible when making sure you both get what you need.

Not without tons of poking, prodding, and blowing into your ear while you’re trying to decide what ingredients to buy for dinner.

You contemplated serving him a plate of bubbling snot and moulded broccoli seasoned with rosemary.

Bone apple teeth, bitch.

Ofc you didn’t because he always pulls out the puppy eyes and cuddles card after since he knows he’s well and truly rattled your patience lmao.

Actually picks really healthy food options?? Being the captain of a team he has the responsibility of keeping his health in top condition and leading by example so at least he knows the right ingredients to make a bomb-ass and nutritious meal ig.

Y’all always bicker and tease each other at the checkout which is usually great amusement for the clerk serving you as they often smirk and perceive you as an old married couple.

Which tbh you kinda are, it feels like it at least.

Still such a big asshole though lmao you never leave the store without your sanity being scathed.

KUNIMI:

Honestly just wanted an excuse to make jokes at the expense of the Aoba Johsai teammates.

and what better candidate for cracking these than Kunimi.

He’s a very chill partner to have tag along with you on your endeavours.

Not without some grumbling and groaning on his part though, lazy bitch.

You always finish shopping trips with a busted lung at how much you have been laughing though with some of the SHADY ASS REMARKS HE MAKES ABOUT THE OTHER TEAM MATES.

You were outside the store when you both spotted an angry looking Doberman tied to a nearby post.

“Smh who let Kyotani outside again.”

You hadn’t even set foot in the store yet and he was already spitting flaming insults.

[Walking up to the automatic double doors]

“Damn Oikawa move out of my way.”

Oikawa just tryna live and he keeps getting roasted for his flat cheeks 

#StopOikawaAssShaming

Ten minutes of scouring the store later he picks up a spikey Kiwano and compares it to Iwaizumi’s hair.

Proceeds to beg you not to tell my boy Iwa because he KNOWS he will get decked to the gym floor.

Passers by often wonder why you’re wheezing and producing noises like a boiling kettle.

When I tell you no one is safe, I mean N O O N E.

“These Yule logs really out here looking like Matsukawa’s brows.”

The finisher was when Kunimi picked up a turnip and said 

“Huh, kinda looks like Kindaichi.”

I just-

He could roast a whole chicken in minutes from the burn of these comments I stg.

You can now never look at the Seijou team without various foods or inanimate objects plaguing your thoughts.

Thanks, Kunimi.

[rbbbff]

Realizing i never actually made a post about this - this was my sign for LTWT Atlanta - Feb 7 (which is a couple days after Cliff's bday). Some backstory - I was flying back into town that evening so we HUSTLED to create this sign and then booked it to the venue. Immediately venue security said the sign was too big AND my purse was too big (UGHHH by like .5in) and so they didnt let us in. We had MOMENTS to spare before Louis came on. I was panicking. We ran into the bar next to the venue and the sweet angel bartender allowed me to stash my bag behind the bar where it remained safely til we returned post show, and my friend folded/rolled the sign up and shoved it in her pocket and off we went. F that picky security guy!!

Anyways, since we arrived LITERALLY as he was starting his set, we were hanging out in GA near the left-side bar. The sides and bar areas were totally clear (probably because everyone was smushed into the pit where ppl were fainting!) We are both tall girls (5'10 and 6'1) and there was plenty of space to dance so i actually think he noticed us dancing first, i think these boys have proven by their vocal appreciation (and pointing lol) that they both just truly appreciate when fans just go crazy and dance their faces off. Which we love to do and i truly hate that *livia has given spastic dancers a bad name. just let me be a flailing octopus while i listen to my fave, LIVE, ok?? but I digress.

Anyways after we got some drinks and had some dancing time, and after the show-stoppage drama when it seemed appropriate and clear that everyone was OK and the show started again, I moved a little closer so we could open up the sign. I found a spot at a column holding up the balcony and also right next to a taller-than-me dad. I figured Louis had probably already noticed him in the crowd so it was a good spot to be in, and was out from below the balcony so more visible by the lights etc. and from there I tried to open the sign up when he came to the left side of the stage. I KNOW that even if he didnt see it himself, Michael saw it and Joshua/Charlie got footage of it, because they were angling their cameras towards the left, from the right side of the stage, at points during this time.

Honestly the biggest reason I think Louis did see it was that the next show night at the Ryman he made the comment "it always trips me out to see my dogs in the crowd. Cliff on tour!" which, first of all, YES omg please cliff on tour would be my absolute dream, and second of all, just an incheresting comment to make imo, thats all.

I actually tend to think if he saw it he may have been a little spooked by it in the moment in Atlanta, keep in mind this was still early on in the tour (week 2) so he was just getting his sea legs and was not pointpointpointing gleefully the way he is now, AND the stress of the shows being stopped for pit drama.

But i hope he appreciated the support and understood the shade (see tags). I also DM'd this pic to his ig acct so hopefully he sees it since, lbr, he sees everything. You are welcome for this storytime no one asked for xx

[mo2k]

not going on anon bcz i want to make public confessions without covers bcz i'm so cool 😌

anyway bam, ok i know we don't talk much. i don't know why bcz it's such a crime to not talk to you because you're v sweet. let's say it's my fault, i'm not the best when it comes to initiating talks. but besides that, i think you're pretty cool ! i love your works, your writing style, your interactions with literally anyone, your little rambles, they're adorable !! you're very cheerful, might i add. it's always nice talking to you, whether it's between tag games or just completely coincidental, it never fails to leave me happy !!

with that being said, we need to interact more. ily, take care <33

Oh inez you’ve no idea how glad I am to have you here !! 🥺💖 And yes bae you’re the coolest person I’ve ever met <3 (Besides I’ve just change the rules — ‘cause I can muah ha ha ha —)

Hsdfgjkl please inez ! No it’s not your fault at all… It’s my own fault. I think it’s time I’ll make an honest confession — but it’s okay if you don’t wanna read love !! I understand, you can skipped right thru it dear —

Vent vent vent ! Please do not read this if you don’t want to. Sorry for such lengthy inez, feel free to skip this next whole annoying and long paragraph …

Warnings : just me being hella annoying and dramatic, super selfish too.

I always wanted to get close / talk to lots of ppl here more. But I didn’t have enough courage to do so from the lesson I’ve learned almost a year ago, there was this group of friend I really like. And so I tried to be as nice to them as possible. I thought it’ll turn out great, thought that it’s almost perfect. But in the end, they left me… for what reason, I don’t know. Maybe for someone better… ig… They confront me that they no longer want to hang out with me. And yeah, it really hits me hard that time. I was heartbroken ‘cause I don’t know what I did wrong. I tried to look back for any mistakes that I could commit, but I still couldn’t find the answer. Is it bc I’m too annoying ? Is it bc I talked too much about myself or smth ? Is it bc I did smth wrong that upset them ? Is it bc I’m too boring ? Or is it bc I bother them too much ? I just don’t know. After that I started to be lots lots more careful of my words or actions. And ended up of me afraid to even interact with anyone… I’m just so lost bc like I’ve tried my whole life. I’ve tried all my life to be nice to everyone, hope that someday I’ll finally have at least a person who’s by my side. But all of those failed and I’m just too scared to even start a new one anymore… My school is close into opening once again and I’m so dreading oml — Yes I too have to admit I’m very selfish, and have done some mistakes… But I don’t know. I don’t know what I want exactly. I’m sorry, ik it doesn’t make sense at all. I’m able to gone through this problem because of my mother and family, I’m so glad they’re there for me. I feel lots better than I’ve in the past too ! And then I join tumblr soon after and was surprised to received such warm welcoming, from all of you. I’m still not fully healed from my past but just that — I want to let you all know that if you ever want to talk or interact or literally anything, please do. I might not be the one who initiate most things, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t want to interact with you — no not at all. I’m more than happy to talk / interact with you all !! So please I love you all okay ? And again, if you ever want to talk or anything, I’m always here you know <3

End of vent, after this’s a safe space now ♡︎

Okay short story in case you don’t wanna read all that (which I didn’t mind at all !) Just that I’m often afraid I might bother / annoyed others too much so that makes me kinda afraid to talk / interact with others hehe — It’s not your fault at all !! And please you’re the one super sweet inez, tysm for this kind message 🥺💖🙏

Ah please you’re flattering me !! I really love your works and lots more things about you as well ! You always so nice and fun to talk to, even if it’s just a casual short convo ! Plus you never failed to make me smile when I saw you on my notif, or just simply on my dash !! I’m so honoured and glad to have you as my moots inez, ilysm <33

Yes we really need to interact more, but only if that’s okay with you !! No pressure ! But for me I’m always more than happy to interact with you inez, ilysm and pls take care too ❤︎ I hope you’ve a great day / night <33

Anons or not, send your honest opinions about me !

- With love, BamBam 🦢🌙

body language analysis: tifa and cloud train scene!! go!

Oh, Nonny, you made my morning with this!! I mean, it's not like I haven't touched on Cloud and Tifa's body language in gif reblogs, but an actual post dedicated to one of the best moments of the game? YAY!!

Ok, spoiler warning for ppl who haven't played (I tag FF7R spoilers as final fantasy 7 remake spoilers) and it's gonna be a long one so prepare to scroll.

Also, this is one person's interpretation of the scene, so if you disagree that's cool and we'll agree to disagree.

You're also gonna have to excuse the janky quality on some of the screens, I'm grabbing them from Youtube and it's frustrating af trying to get the exact moment I want.

Other analyses if anyone's interested.

Shinra HQ vision scene (Cloti/plot analysis) 

Chapter 3 (Cloti reblog) 

Tifa character analysis 

Aerith Resolution (plot analysis) 

Train graveyard (not really an analysis, but I got some sweet screenshots of Cloti) 

Now, strap in and enjoy the ride.

So, the corkscrew tunnel scene – or clotiscrew tunnel as I've seen it called – begins with Avalanche caught by the sensors on the train. After a timed fight – which, yes, it's possible to lose, but it's also clear this is a “bad ending” where you've made Cloud look like an incompetent dick who can't even handle a few drones – we see Barret mustering his courage and leaping from the train (he's so damn cute sometimes, I'm gonna have to do a post about his development with Cloud at some point).

The action then cuts to Tifa, frozen in front of the door, too afraid to jump (you can hear her whimpering). Cloud calls her name, deals with the last drone and comes over. Now, in the OG, obviously they all jump one after the other because polygons and popeye arms would've just looked like a total mess and Square admitted they neglected Cloti to highlight all the relationship development between Clerith since she dies later.

Cut to 2020 and we get this. Damn, Square, if I didn't already love you for pretty much my entire life already I'd have fallen for you all over again. In fact, I think I probably did.

Ok, I'm done gushing. Kinda.

I think the first thing I have to point out is that Cloud, at no point, needed to do this. He could have verbally encouraged Tifa to jump without the need for physical support at all. After all, the train's slowing down and she was fine in the OG, so who's to say she wouldn't be fine now, too? By calling her name and fixing her attention on him he's actually stalling her jump.

You'll notice that Tifa doesn't take her eyes off the tracks (before this screen obvs since I can see that’s her feet, work with me here), which is fitting since she's zeroed in on that fearful moment and actually can't move without help. Cloud's face in this is displaying typical tension you'd expect in a high energy scene. He's concerned for Tifa, but he's also focused on dealing with the mechs, which he does very quickly. Now, you could argue he did that to get on with the mission, or you could argue he did that because he saw Tifa needed him and his focus shifted to her. And watching the seconds following him turning to look at her, I'd say there's evidence towards the latter because he's actually lost focus on the last mech and it attacks him first causing him to block and parry.

This is the first instance of touching in this scene, and until this point, Tifa hadn't moved or acknowledged Cloud. He needed to physically draw her from her thoughts and you'll hear a surprised exhale from her as she turns to look at him, showing she was lost within herself until he drew her out. Cloud is obviously looking at the tracks, judging his next move. He's already planning what he has to do to keep both of them safe, which is clear from his decisive nod, along with a reassuring, but grim, smile, before pulling Tifa out the door. Remember, I said he could’ve verbally got her attention. He didn’t. He chose touch.

See what I mean about janky quality? Anyway, this is clear concern about Tifa's safety, but also, remember, Cloud is on the mission because Tifa said she felt trapped and he's related that back to their promise that she needs a hero. He's being her hero.

Okay, we're getting to the meat of things now.

First, fucking ouch, he definitely looks pained, meaning that whole manoeuvre wasn't as smooth as he pretended. As they slow down, he puts a bracing hand against the ground to prevent him rolling onto Tifa (because he's a gent and also toting a sword that weighs more than Barret lol).

What's interesting is where his left hand is in this. Make a note: middle of her back. Tifa's head is tucked into Cloud's neck – safety move, so nothing big there. I've seen some people note Tifa's leg is between Cloud's, but I'm gonna discount that as the way they've locked together during the roll. It's unintentional.

Oh, but this isn't! Cloud has absolutely no reason to put his hand back on Tifa. He could leave it lying flat on the ground. You could argue he needs both to help her get off him, but she's on top. She can do that herself. He has no further need past the initial save to have his hands on her, unless that's what he wants. Obviously we can't see his face in this because of Tifa's hair, but this, combined with the next screen tell a very definite story.

He moved his hand! That left hand, he didn't need to move it up in such a caressing gesture. Coupled with the very intense gaze he gives her, I was swooning like a maiden wearing a too tight corset lol

Now, you could argue he's just concerned, it's a high tension situation. Well, I argue that every single trope using this kind of scene results in sexual tension/flustered characters and/or a kiss. Remember, right at this second, he has no reason to still be lying with her like this. In fact, him moving his hand further up her back is a bracing gesture that would keep her close, not release her. Tifa's fists are balled against his chest, which signifies she's protecting her hands – she's a hand-to-hand fighter remember -- but her face is relaxed. She's not feeling awkward or eager to escape.

Eye contact!! Can I just leave it at that? No? Cloud isn't actually the type to keep prolonged eye contact. Oh, did you think I was about to say something else? Well, for literally anyone who hasn't paid attention to him, Cloud often looks away when he feels awkward, flustered, unsure, basically any negative emotion. The only time he looks anyone in the eye is when he's confronting them or at ease. Remember, even when Jessie teased him about smiling during chapter 4 he looked away, embarrassed. Cloud doesn't handle eye contact well. Which is why this is such a huge deal. He's keeping prolonged eye contact with Tifa. He doesn't look away from her eyes when he asks if she's ok. And that question – ah my heart! So soft and tender. You can hear the care and concern in his tone. It anchors the entire scene from start to finish. Everything he just did was because he cares about Tifa and wants to look after her. He wants to make sure she's ok, even if it means he suffers for it. Pretty sure some people will disagree with this, but the damn man wore a dress and went through a humiliating dance routine – humiliating for him, I fucking loved it – just to save her. His first words in Wall Market are he wants to save Tifa, but Aerith cuts him off before he can finish the sentence.

These are the moments that I have to go back over a million times to catch. Check the tiny eye narrowing and uplift at the corner of his mouth. She said she's ok and he's happy about it. He's her hero – in not so many words. Tifa's shaky reply and pale face confirm her shock and fear, but also you can see an easing of the tension in her. There's a subtle softening of her muscle definition and facial expression that displays the trust and belief she has in Cloud that he'd look after her. This is a very mutually appreciative moment between them. Definitely not one sided.

And then the moment is over, without any flustered blushing or stammering, and thank God there wasn't because that would be so ooc I just can't with it. Cloud, despite being an awkward af dork who doesn't know how to deal with women hitting on him, doesn't turn into a flustered 14 year old trying to tell his crush he's leaving Nibelheim whenever they have contact. We've already seen smooth!Cloud giving Tifa a flower and complimenting her like a cheeky bastard. He can handle being around her because he feels comfortable. He can compliment her because of that, too. He might be slightly separated from those childhood feelings, but they're in there and they're motivating him to be outgoing towards her. To show her the cool SOLDIER he became that's worthy of being beside her.

But, yeah, back to the point. The moment is over. Or is it? Because that is some very further prolonged eye contact between them when there doesn't have to be. Tifa moves back, Cloud moves forward, they're both getting up and yet, they're both looking at each other. I don't know about you, but I find it easier to look where I'm going when I've fallen on my ass and need to get up. I sure af don't stare longingly into someone's eyes like I can't bear not to.

And now it really is over because right after this the mechs arrive. But before that, some more prolonged eye contact. There literally is no need for them to do this at this point. Tifa looks pensive, but I think that's her default tbf. Yet, at the same time, there's an intensity in her gaze like she wants to say something – maybe it's just a thank you, that would turn into a flirty conversation of some sort “you didn't need to do that,” “I wanted to” kind of deal – so it makes sense they're interrupted because Square said they didn’t want to overdo the amount of Cloti content they added and this is already a very charged scene.

Meanwhile, Cloud is looking at her like she's his entire world and he's just waiting for her to realise it. There's an aura of expectation in his pose and face. They're both crouching in mirrored poses, which as some of you may know is what you do when you're trying to build rapport with someone. It's basic body language building blocks. Toddlers do this. They're both on one knee, slightly leaning forward. Now, if there was no rapport between them, if they wanted to end the moment, one of them would stand up, breaking the mirrored pose and cutting off eye contact. This would put one above the other and show an imbalance in their relationship. This doesn't happen. They both turn at the same time, rise at the same time and fight pose at the same time.

Conclusion:

Seriously? After all that you can't draw your own?

Ok, I'll be fair to the other side. Let's take away Cloud's history with Tifa – since that's the biggest argument for them: the childhood crush trope.

If Cloud and Tifa weren't friends, just colleagues on a mission, this scene would still be hella charged with sexual tension and implication that Cloud has a thing for her. Even if it's just basic sexual attraction, that's still attraction and a marker on the pathway to a relationship.

But, they are friends, so moving on.

Tifa is the more reserved one in this dynamic. She's naturally shy – it's canon – but even with that, she's affected by Cloud. She holds that eye contact. Her voice is equally soft as his. She mirrors his pose. She doesn't try to get away the second they stop moving. Cloud is the one to move things along, without awkwardness because he's comfortable with Tifa. He's not out of sorts having her lying on top of him – which you can argue means he's not interested, but I literally just pointed out all the ways in which he is into her. Being comfortable in someone's company doesn't mean a person isn't attracted to them. If I had to stick a pin in Cloud's sexuality I'd say he's on the demi scale, meaning he needs to have a deep emotional connection to whoever he's with before he falls in love with them. He's not a love at first sight kind of guy.

This fits with the childhood crush trope. Cloud's known Tifa for years and developed an attraction to her that still lingers, making a reconnection between them easier. He's not slobbering over her because he's Cloud and very stoic – I know people say his true self isn't like this, but it is only with more insecurity and desire to prove himself. He's still a very reserved guy with a dry sense of humour. He's prone to melancholy and self doubt, which is why his friends bolster his confidence so much.

Point is, everything in this scene showcases a deep and meaningful relationship between the two of them at its best, while at its most shallow it shows Cloud is sexually attracted to Tifa, which is something that could develop into a more meaningful relationship later. Either way, it's a marked moment in their interactions that Cloud's non-optional choices led to it. There's no either/or within this. It happened.

[puppy-phum]

thank you once again @yibobibo​ for tagging me ♥ even if, like I said, this is pure torture. I have so many sons that I’ve given up on counting them sigh but here goes.

favourite male fictional characters.

I took it that this meant ten so am going with that (tho am not gonna try and put them into order). am also sticking to all the characters I loved this year. and gonna ramble and add gifs so cutting it here. 

1. Liu Sang

The Lost Tomb Reboot/Reunion: The Sound of The Providence

I have so much love for this boy it’s not even healthy. it’s a bit funny tho bc once I started tltr, I didn’t really like him and almost forgot about him as the first season ended. he just felt so annoying and bitter in what I saw him, even if I did get that he had a Tragic BackstoryTM (I felt for him but well. tltr really made him hard to like at first). but then they brought him back in the second season with his sad puppy eyes and inability to handle his thoughts on wu xie and being all touch-starved and pitiful and whatnot and baam, I had the adoption papers ready. he’s wonderful and so strong and so smart and amazing. and liu chang as his actor has been wonderful (and he’s so pretty my god, have you seen him??)

2. Shen Wei

Guardian

never did I expect to just. fall into this hole after a year? I remember what a mess I was when I first watched guardian over a year ago, right after finishing the untamed. I was in shambles even as I knew how it would end. and now I’ve done this all again while also reading the novel and. my love for shen wei, especially bc it’s zhu yilong acting as shen wei? astronomical. I want to write poetry about him and his stupid responsibilities that he chooses to carry silently and his devotion to zhao yunlan and his love for his ppl and his didi and. I hope that one day I manage to write weilan bc I have this one idea and you can come pry it from my cold, dead fingers if it doesn’t get out there (am also super happy about the edit I made bc my god does he deserve at least that)

3. Cloud Strife

Final Fantasy VII

ok so stepping into the video games territory now. I was waiting for the remake like crazy and it was everything to me once the quarantine hit during spring. the game is so beautiful and I felt like I looked at this gorgeous boy once and was ready to give him my heart (tbh am quite sure he owned my heart before I even learned to know him). he is tragic in so many ways (I’ve only scratched the surface of all of his pain I know) and I wish I could just. hug him a lot. he is kind and cares very deeply even if he hates to show it and I love it how remake showed him also just being a human disaster (some of his scenes are just. peak comedy). I would kill for his smile (I have already cried for it a dozen)

4. Geralt of Rivia

The Witcher (The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt)

if there’s one grumpy, brickwall of a man I love, it’s geralt. I affectionately call him “papa wolf” while playing witcher 3 and his voice in it does things to me (I am just so fond of him ok, begone you dirty fuckers). I got introduced to him through the books and adored him in them bc he is so prickly and sarcastic and still so full of love even if he will never admit to it. he is the father figure I wish I could have in real life. (and yes, I’ve seen the tv series (or at least a couple of the first episodes) and it looks stunning but. this is my version of geralt and that’s the hill I will die on)

5. Xiaoge

Zhang Qiling, Daomu Biji (The Lost Tomb 2)

(wow finding a gif for him was a pain, apparently I gotta learn how to gif or?) ah, my dear boy who I’ve ended up just calling xiaoge bc he seems to prefer it over his real name/title/whatever zhang qiling really is. I got introduced to him through tltr where we really didn’t get to know that much about him bc he was just... there. huang junjie was absolutely stunning tho and his soft smiles made me super fond, but only in the lost tomb 2 did I really fall in love with xiaoge as a character. I was surprised tbh bc I didn’t expect it to be this drama? I had so many doubts about the cast in tlt2 but they all delivered! and I think cheng yi’s xiaoge is now my favorite bc he somehow captured that softness and the pain of him? (and we do not talk about that buxun storyline tyvm) tho now that ultimate note is on the way, I gotta say that xiao yuliang does a wonderful job as xiaoge too!

6. Wu Xie

Daomu Biji (Ultimate Note)

(sorry we have to go with a pingxie gif now but maybe it’s only fitting) tbh it’s hard to choose my favorite version of wu xie. I think all of the actors for him have done amazing job showing wu xie in different parts of his life (all of them are very distinct but still feel like the same person) but currently zheng shunxi takes the lead. I really wanted to put the reboot version of him here (bc I love that mature, relaxed and somehow very soft version of him and the angst is phenomenal and the thoughts he has about death... yeah) but I already have zhu yilong’s face here once so :’D wu xie is just one of those characters you cannot not like. he is so strong, so kind, so stubborn, so wonderfully stupid sometimes and in need of careful protection. I also adore it how smart he is and I could listen to him spew history facts for 10 hours straight (even if it was in a tomb full of blood zombies) ♥

7. Jiang Cheng

Jiang Wanyin, The Untamed

my darling boy! my beautiful angry grape! I love him beyond words. I love him in all of his raging, misunderstood, stupid, sassy, constipated, abused, tragic, bitter, big hearted glory. I could write novels about him (and I did and am still writing oh boy) and his love for ppl and his inability to show that love and his loneliness and his issues. I could also write another novel for all of his outfits etc. bc damn, what a fashion king. he is just so great. he owns my soul. he deserves happiness and in this essay I will

8. Isana Yashiro

Adolf K. Weismann, K Project

I rewatched k project this spring bc a) it’s one of my favorite animes ever (it just looks stunning with all the colors) and b) I love yashiro to bits. I remember falling in love with him when I first watched k project many years ago bc he was just so kind and bright. this time though, I ended up seeing another side of him and my god did I cry. he is... so sweet. he cares for others so deeply and is ready to sacrifice so much for them and his love for his two clansmen... yeah. I think I finally saw the tragedy of him too, all the pain and loneliness and insecurity he decides to hide behind his smile and obnoxious personality. he reminded me a lot of myself and watching him made my heart bleed in a good way

Ba Ye, The Mystic Nine

(wow am going to riot for the lack of all the gifs hhh) yes, we’re continuing with the dmbj universe that sucked me in big time this year. the drama of the mystic nine wasn’t probably that earth shattering for me as it somehow got boring more than once but I did love ba ye to bits. he was just... so nice? I got it that he was somehow this “comedic relief” in the drama with all of his funny scenes and ridiculous mannerisms but I could see the brilliance of him. he is warm and smart and kind of a romantic too and he cares for all of his friends so deeply? it was also sweet how protective of him his two zhangs were (does that run in the family? the tendency to imprint into one smart but disastrous man and keep him safe? maybe) and I really hope I knew more about him bc he seemed to have a lot of knowledge and a lot of impact to ppl’s lives (I yelled when they mentioned him in ultimate note, I miss him ;;)

10. Dorian Pavus

Dragon Age Inquisition

(yes I’ve been replaying DA:I this year, this counts!) another darling boy! my lovely sass master son! I have so much love for him and his story in DA:I. he is my favorite companion (and his romance is my favorite too, probably obvious in the way am currently romancing him for the third time) and he has given me a lot of strength. the way he stands up against his father, how he’s ready to reform his homeland instead of walking away, how he’s so caring for those he sees struggling... it’s very warming and I feel like I’m safe with him. it feels a bit silly to say that but he really is that comfort character I will seek out when I just want to know am doing fine :’) (and I am so excited to see him again in DA4! probably?)

+ 11. Li Cu

Tomb of the Sea

yes I cheated a bit (with my own rules lol) to fit li cu here. I didn’t really expect to like him or tomb of the sea as much as I did once I started it? I’ve seen leo wu elsewhere before this (battle through the heavens, nirvana in fire) and his face always makes me think about a sad puppy so maybe I just grew fond over li cu instantly bc he was... so hurt? the first episode really slaps you in the face with all of it, showing him being abused, wounded, kidnapped, tortured, used and then just very, very scared and broken. he continues being that throughout the whole drama and I feel like tomb of the sea (or sand sea or sha hai idk) is the darkest and angstiest story in the dmbj universe. I know it deserves to be bc this is a dark time for wu xie but... my darling li cu. I wish him only happiness ;; he was so strong and smart and wonderful in this and it was just so amazing to watch him grow and find his own place in the world just bc he did something himself (even when he got dragged into all of this bc of wu xie) also I support the wu xie adopts li cu -agenda

well, with this I can really see that I have a thing for those who are tragic :’D I have a thing for grumpy, prickly and antisocial guys or those who hide their pain behind a smile. maybe it’s bc I am somehow both, even if I can’t show my anger or be mean to others and even if I feel like my smile never sticks either. I just find kinship in all of the characters who are on this list. and I feel like I aspire to be as strong and as kind and as loving despite all the pain I’ve been put through.  

thank you, this was so much fun! and sorry I made this so long and so complicated ^^’ but well, there are just way too many male characters I love haha

Kefi: Why?

CW: Fantasy racism of sorts, normalized hostility, dehumanizing language

Universe belongs to @wildfaewhump! <3

Note: Kefi was originally referred to as male/he/him when I first started writing with them, but they/them pronouns feel like they fit better, so that's what I’ll be referring to them with from this point :)

“You got a problem?”

Kefi stopped where they were rummaging through flowers, looking up curiously.  There was a tall man standing across from them, leaning against the booth and staring.  They tilted their head curiously, observing the scar on his lip and his strange, hostile demeanor.

“I asked you a question, fae.”

“Um, I have no problem..I’m sorry?”  They didn’t quite understand what the man was asking them.

“Why are you putting your filthy magic all over these innocent people’s wares then?  You think we’re dumb?”

They retracted their hands carefully from where they were elbow deep in the flowers, wings folding as they shrank back, trying to make themselves smaller.  They hated that they didn’t have their hair to hide behind anymore, to let curtain in front of their eyes to hide how nervous they were.  Matelia had “fixed it up” for them, trimmed up the sloppily cropped hair the attackers had left behind.  She’s insisted it would grow back, that it would all be ok.. But they still missed it.

“So?” The man demanded, sneering at the cowering fae. It turned a few heads, but nobody intervened.  “Do you, fae? You think you can-”

“Kefi, is he bothering you?”

They felt a warm, solid hand on their shoulder as Metilia put herself between them, glaring at the stranger.  Her height towering over Kefi made them feel safe, made them feel protected.  They hated how wary and jumpy they got, after the incident down south.  They felt like they had to constantly be watching over their shoulder, be looking out for danger.  This wasn’t what they expected people to be like.

“I..um-”

“No, actually it was bothering me,” The man cut in.  “You really expect a fae to wander the streets unchecked without causing issues? Look at how disheveled it is, it’s up to no good.”

Kefi bristled at that, moving further behind Metilia defensively.  

“Listen, there’s no reason to harass random people in the market, so mind your damn business,” She snapped at him, steering Kefi away.  She tossed some coins at the table where the merchant sat, mostly ignoring the conversation.  “Come on, Kefi.  Grab what you came for and lets go.”

They fumbled for the bundle of herbs they’d set down, hurring to stay close to Metilia as she stormed off, a hand on their arm.  The pair maneuvered through the market, the crowds of people either hurrying to stay away from the fae or completely ignoring them, shoving past roughly as they made their way through the crowd.

Kefi struggled to keep up, side aching from where were bandages still wrapped securely around their torso, hidden by the long shirt they wore.

They finally broke free from the crowd, chest heaving with the effort it took to breathe from the fast pace and anxiety.  Metilia turned back, loosening her grip on their arm.

“You ok?” She asked, watching as Kefi nodded shakily.  The tall woman bit her lip, glancing around like she was expecting pursuers.  “Let's go home, I don’t think that guy was alone and I don’t want to risk anything.”

She offered her hand to Kefi, who took it gratefully as they made their way out of town, cautious of the hostile stares as they walked.

Kefi settled down happily on the expanse of pillows and blankets laid out for them by the fireplace as Metilia dropped her bags on the table, sighing.  They probably had enough to last at least a week before they had to make another supply run, which was something Kefi was grateful for.

They were exhausted, stretching their dappled brown wings out with a shudder and draping them across the blankets.  Metilia chuckled, shaking her head.

“You look burnt out, Kefi.  Want me to make us something to eat?”

Kefi nodded enthusiastically, large eyes looking up at her with a wholehearted trust that almost made Metilia sad.  They shouldn’t trust her, she thought to herself.  Not this easily, at least.  She was always looking for some boundary, some bit of mistrust they had in her, but there was none, at least not after they weren’t scared and in pain and confused.

She shook her head, muttering to herself as she unpacked the groceries they’d gotten and started making a stew. It was growing darker, and she started up the fireplace to keep the house warm as it got cooler.

Kefi fluffed out their feathers, a soft rumbling sound coming from the back of their throat as they soaked in the warmth, limp and relaxed. They preened some of their feathers absentmindedly, fidgeting as they watched Metilia prepare the food.

They were always so observant like that, wide eyes following your movements in an openly curious way.

Metilia liked to observe the fae when they weren’t paying attention, not that they ever seemed to mind anyways. Their short, brown hair was ruffled, never seeming to lay flat on their head, just like their feathers, giving them a disheveled look. They looked fairly young, but Metilia knew better. Fae could live for a very long time, she’d heard, although exactly how long everyone claimed was different. She wasn’t going to ask them of course, but she was curious nonetheless.

“Metilia?”

She looked up from where she was standing, deep in her thoughts and was met by that curious, freckled face.

“Hm?”

They tilted their head a little, pressing their lips together in consideration before asking.

“Why...why was that man..angry at me? Did I do something wrong?”

Metilia stopped what she was doing, wiping her hands on her tunic.

“No, Kefi. You didn’t do anything wrong, I promise. You have to understand..a lot of people don’t like fae.” She didn’t know how to explain it to them. “Not everyone is like me, Kefi. There are people who would be very willing to hurt you, or try to hunt you.”

“Like..like the market? Where you found me?”

Her heart twisted in sadness at the thought of where she’d found them, beaten and left outside town.

“Yea..kinda like that.”

“Oh,”

It was quiet for a moment, the crackling of the fire filling the odd silence, even for just a moment.

“Why?”

She didn’t know how to answer the question, at least in a way they’d understand.

“Because they think you use your abilities against them-“

“But I don’t,” Kefi cut in, voice small and desperate.

“I know, Kefi, but not everyone gets that. You just..you can’t just walk up to everyone you meet and expect to be friendly when you're different, you just can’t, ok? Why don’t you understand that?”

Metilia knew it was a mistake as soon as the words left her mouth, the fae’s face falling. She could almost see them shrink back a little, wings wrapping around them slightly. She hadn’t meant to snap at them..

“Kefi..”

“I know,” they murmured, voice small. “I’m sorry..I just..nevermind.”

She watched them turn away, curled up in a tight ball and bury themselves under the blankets surrounding the nest of sorts on the floor. Guilt gnawed at her as it went quiet again, and she took the pot of stew off the stovetop.

Kefi stared into the fire, fighting back tears as Metilia’s words echoed in their mind. She was right, though. They didn’t want her to be, but she was.

They tried to deny it, tried to smile and offer greetings and be friendly, tried to ignore the stares and shoves and mutters, but they all hit hard, no matter how much they tried to bury them.

They picked at a string on the blanket they held close, remaining motionless even as Metilia set a bowl in front of them. It smelled delicious, but Kefi refused to even look at it as she settled down beside them.

“You should eat, Kefi.” She said softly, nudging it towards them.

No response.

Metilia sighed, moving closer next to them.  Kefi startled a little when she wrapped her arms around them, pulling them close.  They were tense for a moment, unsure, before relaxing into it.  She held the fae, even when they tried to stifle a small sob, shaking a little and burying their face against her.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean it like that,” She murmured, rubbing small, reassuring circles against their shoulder.  Kefi brought their wings tightly around them, looking so, so small as they curled against Metilia for comfort, the tears not stopping.

“W..w,why do they h,hate me?” They whimpered miserably, holding on tight.  Metilia ran a hand through their hair, hugging them tightly.

“It's just fear, Kefi.  Pure and simple fear.  It’s not your fault.”  She reassured.  “They don’t know what to do with that fear, so they get angry, so they can feel like they’re in control of something.”

They kept crying, and she let them.  She let them choke on sobs and hide against her until they eventually got quieter, got more tired.

The stew sat, uneaten, as Kefi tired themself out, eyes slipping shut as Metilia kept scratching softly at their scalp, humming softly.  She kept doing it even after they were asleep, staring into the fire and wondering idly if she’d ever be able to truly answer their question.

Their question of why
