UD headcanons no one asked for!

my motivation has gone to get the milk and has not come back since, SO HEY! who wants to hear some random headcanons that have been microwaving in my head for the past year???

this is going to be a long one...

stuff under the cut vvv

Lou is the kinda guy to only pack nice looking outfits on a holiday. Do they suit the occasion? Probably not. But he wants to look the part every where he goes, even if he's wearing a suit during the middle of summer

He would also be the guy to complain that it's too cold, even though he was told to pack up layers of clothes for a hiking trip, and didn't. But when someone tries to give him a coat, he says "I don't need that, I'm fine!" even though he looks like he's going to freeze over.

He takes the coat not too soon after

On the other hand, either Nolan or Ox would overpack for a trip. Ox because he is basically the fatherly figure of the group, and wants to make sure that everyone has enough food, water, and layers of clothing for the trip. Oh, and he brings a first aid kit as well. Nolan however does it because "What if I didn't pack enough?? What if I need this oddly specific thing??" and packs more than he needs to

Speaking of Ox, he always came off as a character who really enjoys camping and exploring, ya know? He seems like the leader of a scout group who loves to sing campfire songs and tell spooky stories that no one believes. (him and Rhidian would get along well)

LITERALLY NO ONE TALKS ABOUT LUCKYBAT AND OX'S DYNAMIC AND IT'S DRIVING ME WILD. Hello?? A withdrawn and somewhat jaded mayor who is protective of those he's close to with his intelligent, caring and concerned assistant?? That sounds interesting!

I'm sure LuckyBat knows more than anyone else (besides Lou) of what Ox went through. Perhaps he didn't know about the Institute, but he knew ox went through some stuff outside Uglyville. Perhaps that's why he's so cautious to go into the pipe.

(And perhaps the reason why he decides to go to learn new stuff was for the sake of finding out what Ox doesn't speak about?)

Back to the Prettydolls, I always found it interesting that Nolan was able to run the gauntlet despite being imperfect, although Moxy and Mandy, two other imperfect dolls, were thrown into recycling. Why was Nolan allowed to run the gauntlet, huh Lou? Didn't you say that any unideal looking doll goes to recycling, Lou????

Personally, I like to think that Lou allowed Nolan to do training and was like "Haha watch this idiot fail". And turns out Nolan was really good at it (flashbacks to Nolan being buff in the novel). Lou is flabbergasted.

...Either that or Lou just allowed him to run the gauntlet to watch him fail immediately because "Haha funny" and also "Haha imperfects can't win. Suck it loser~"

Kitty is jealous of Mandy's makeup skills, and often copies her because of it, too embarrassed to ask for advice because she needs to learn on her own. After Lou gets overthrown, Kitty and Mandy help each other out on their makeup and hair

Tuesday is the girl to think that "Yeah I'm smiling, but inside I'm crying" is the deepest thing to ever exist. Kitty bullies her for it.

Also, Tuesday cry-sings "I'm a mess" by Bebe Rexha after Lou denied her 1244th love confession. She will try again tomorrow

Because Kelly Clarkson was pop-rock for a while, I like to imagine that Moxy had a rock-n-roll rebellious phase, and still has a few characteristics from that era of her life

During the scene where Lou is going up the gauntlet lift with everyone else, he is constantly moving about. Winking at Mandy to fake confidence, adjusting his suit...etc. I always saw this has him being nervous, because you know, he's about to expose himself for being a prototype after this gauntlet stuff is over. So I like to think that he fiddles around with his suit when he's nervous. Mainly readjusting the sleeves, tightening his ascot tie and flicking out his collar. Also pulling out loose threads, if there is any.

I thought for the longest time that when Lou's hair got slightly messier, it showed him being more genuine. There is one god damn strand on his fringe that goes from being in place to hanging out, and I thought it showed him losing his façade, very very subtly.

This might be a hot take but I always saw Loundy (Mandy/Lou) as being friends/lovers to enemies. Think about it: Lou and Mandy seemed to have some sort of connection, Mandy (in my opinion) basically being Lou's assistant, similar to the spy girls. She began thinking he was perfect, and they formed a (seemingly) close bond. But over time, as Lou's desperation for perfection increased, her opinion of him soured, and she realised he isn't as perfect as she thought. She kept the negative thoughts to herself, though. Who would believe her? The perfect doll with the flawless looks and endless talents, topped off with a charming personality... Why would he be unhinged? How would he be unhinged?

You know that line Mandy says to Lou at the gauntlet? "You know, Lou.. When I first got here, I thought you were perfect. I couldn't find a single thing wrong with you. But, I can see a lot better now." perhaps that wasn't just talking about the events of the film, as it probably implies. Maybe she knows how terrible he's been for a long time...

That's all I got for now, I may doodle some of these if motivation comes back, who knows..

[thewertsearch]

TT: When John delivers the tumor, TT: And I do mean The Tumor, TT: I and I alone will navigate the Furthest Ring. TT: And I will destroy the sun. TT: By which I do mean the GREEN MOTHER FUCKING SUN.

Sounds like a plan.

Just... a plan. It's certainly a plan, and that's all I'm going to say.

TT: And in case it wasn't clear, TT: I won't be coming back.

Fucking what?

...oh, hang on, this is a fakeout, isn't it. It's her Dream Self, isn't it?

...isn't it?

TG: whoa fuck TG: a suicide mission are you serious TG: no bullshit thats not happening TG: hey look suddenly everything we just talked about was useless because its time to make a plan that doesnt fucking suck TT: Let's not be so dramatic. TT: I was talking about my dream self.

God. Do not scare me like that, Rose.

If you died in the Furthest Ring, I don't think you could be resurrected. There's no Space, so you can't even find the body to prototype.

TG: haha yeah thats fine i guess TG: those fuckers are all kinds of mad expendable

Not really. It's still an extra life, and you only get one freebie. Plus, the dual-bodies thing is actually pretty useful, and Dream Selves have access to magic like flight and shapeshifting.

Also... losing her Dream Self will put Rose in the Bubbles when she sleeps. That's the last thing her psyche needs.

TG: for someone whos saying lets cool it on the drama the whole i wont be coming back thing is a pretty theatrical bombshell TG: for future reference

That was pretty mean, Rose. Were you trying to see if Dave actually cared? Because you should know the answer to that question by now.

TG: so when do i do my thing TG: make this map [...] TT: If there's one thing you have more than any of us, it's time. TT: So, whenever you like. TT: As long as conventionally speaking, it's quite soon. [...] TT: And if you have trouble going to sleep, maybe you can ask your patron troll to trick the telepathic one into putting you to sleep again. TG: what TT: Each of us seems to have a troll infatuated with helping us. Haven't you noticed?

Jade doesn't. The troll she's probably talked the most with is Karkat. He's supposed to calm down later on, but I wouldn't characterize what he's currently doing as 'helping'.

TG: which ones yours TG: is it the absurd juggalo one that would be hilarious

...actually, Gamzee might be sufficiently off-putting to shock Rose out of this ominous mood she's in. I'm willing to give anything a shot, at this point, so bring on the Faygo.

[icebrooding]

A non-comprehensive first word-vomit of my thoughts abt Janthir wilds in non-chronological order:

Poky is my son and if anything happens to him I will commit Crimes of a very bad nature. I also called he and Braham would be great friends even before it got mentioned as a possibility right at the end.

I really like what they've done with the Warclaw; not only is the new skin extremely cute but I've been having so much fun w/ it's skills. Boing boing boing.

This soundtrack fucks REALLY hard??? Like holy shit??

Isgarren soft boy story reveal (but I already knew he was soft from SotO anyway but this is probably the most explicit we've had about just how soft--)

Greer is gonna have a lot of people horny for him, I can just kinda feel it? If people want to fuck the bog queen, I can imagine people also want to fuck the sexy-voiced Titan.

The 'boss segments' sure felt like boss segments, holy shit. I had no real issues on the first Greer and Decima fights but the one at the end actually caused me a lot of issues. Not sure how, but it did.

I really love the first half of the expac being this kind of 'low stakes' feeling adventure (and really FEELING like a good adventure, the way the maps are designed and their scale making exploring them SO good ouegh), and then the latter half is this slowly ramping 'oh fuck, Titans', culminating in 'oh fuck. /another/ titan.'

I somehow REALLY really appreciate the 'we cannot do this we need to retreat' stuff. I really liked the one at the end, the Commander's hesitance before calling off the pursuit. Feels like they've really learned over the years that rushing in isn't in their (or anyone's) best interest.

I genuinely always thought Sorrow was gonna be a polar bear. Did not expect a grizzly, but appreciate the subversion of my expectations. Even after her reveal I'd expected the lowland appearance to be an illusion of some kind, but nah. Girl straight up grizzly. Gotta respect.

On that note, I did have a joke going on for a few months of 'we walk into the lowland kodan lands and just find her sitting amongst them like 'oh shit'' so this was pleasant for me lmao.

Sincerely curious on how things will go between her and Isgarren after that little catfight. I don't wanna see Dagda crushed by losing her again :sadcat: She's like the kid caught between a really bad divorce--

Can Lyhr finally meet Rand again--

Can Stoic Alder be my new dad? And can he please not die I cannot bear (HAH) if anything happens to him either ; _ ;

where is zojja

Mildly upset that we're shown not to really remember Dagonet. I REMEMBER YOU, BIG BRO :crycat:

on that note did his voice get deeper

I feel like the horror of the White Mantle came across really strongly, as someone who (still, damnit) hasn't gone far in GW1, reading the notes around Syntri really painted a really gruesome and horrific image of the sentiments at the time... it was upsetting, to say the least.

Fuck? Ether towers and Jade Constructs though--

I would have appreciated any warning from my friend abt how going into the water of Syntri was like reliving my least favourite parts of Subnautica all over again.

I'm just gonna pretend we didn't talk to Anise at the end of the story LMFAO. I did not like that, honestly.

I KNOW HE WAS MENTIONED AGES BEFORE BUT ISN'T IT FUNNY HAHA IN SOME WAY THAT MABON, VOICED BY LIAM O'BRIEN, HAS AN ALIAS FUCKIN' NAMED "OBRYN"

spear aesthetic fucks even if i suck at it

Caithe getting to sit on the fireplace is iconic. queen behaviour

look, if we're (MAYBE) going to the domain of anguish (maybe isgarren can scream enough to open a portal again for us) then can we finally just bring legavo there and go ham? i'm sure it'll be fine.

more thoughts at another point when i can formulate sentences

[rubber-glovs]

Dearest, Ptks (haha see what I did there with that comma)

I FUCKING LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH WTF!! I think you're all so sweet and considerate of each other and it makes so happy. Every time I see a new post, comment or reply from you guys it just makes me smile like an idiot. I like talking to you guys and making references that no one could understand (eg: fanfic 69, cherry candy, jadebury). I've watched musicals, listened to music and done all sorts for you guys because you all mean so much to me. After 3 days of no contact because my phone broke, honestly got me in tears because I was so scared to lose you guys over a stupid mistake I made.

Now, onto the SERIOUS SHIT. Every single one of you guys changed my life for the better. I have people who are into the same things as me, and I can happily talk about them. I don't know what would've happened if I never caved and finally watched Hamilton, but I know that I wouldn't be as happy as I am right now. If I never went to Pinterest to find pictures of the Hamilton cast, then I would've never stumbled upon Jade's pinterest, which caused me to gain the confidence to post things myself. Thinking back to the days when I met everyone and felt pure joy every time someone posted or replied to my comment makes me genuinely so happy that I still act like that. It's only been a few couple of months, but it's been the best couple of months for me.

Meeting the ptks helped me build my confidence. If I never met you guys, I would've never done the things I've done today. I would've never joined the sfth discord, join the school musical production, willingly want to perform in front of a whole class, be more like myself to friends and family, be able to purchase things on my own in public, express my thoughts and beliefs and just be more like myself while also being open to learn more about myself. If I never had this confidence, I'd be the same shy kid in class who could never raise a hand in class. I'm eternally grateful and feel like I'm in dept for all you've done to me.

I feel like I view you guys as friend crushes, like someone you want to be friends with, but the thing is, is that we already friends. It feels surreal sometimes when I realise I've got these really cool friends who listen to me and actually like me, and what's even better is that I didn't have to fake my personality to get them to like me, I am being myself all the time and no one judges me! It makes me so happy ^_^

Special mentions!

@jadelemonadee , the day I met you, I remember being so excited. Meeting you made me realise that there were people out there who had similar interests to me. Without you, I'd never even post on any platform or express my passions like how you do for Thayne. Every time you feel down, I don't hesitate to console you because I don't believe you should feel like that. In my eyes, I perceive you as this really cool best friend and a role model.

@pretzlgldpoisson Jesus christ Vee. There is so much I could say, but not words come to mind. You're my lesbian best friend to my trans self. I love every conversation we have, and I trust you so much. I felt safe to reveal my voice, face, and even MY TOWN?? It's crazy how much I love you, and we've never met in real life. It honestly sucks that you live in America and I live in England, I would give everything I have to meet you in real life. I like staying up to text or call for you (even though we've only called twice).

I think people would call me stupid or silly for caring and trusting these random strangers I've met online, but honestly, I trust them so much to not even think twice if they're a 50 year old man trying to kidnap me (please tell me none of you are). I genuinely care so much, but unfortunately, I can't articulate it all.

I love you all so much <3 I'm off to bed since it's 1 am and my sleep schedule is surprisingly improving!!

Welcome to: A Post Where I Rant About My Artfight Attacks This Year and the Thought Processes Behind Them (In Order)

First up is this one!! I used to have a sona for MLB a long time ago and still think about him from time to time, so I thought this was the perfect opportunity to draw an updated vers!

Since I am a big time travel trope fan, I obviously gave myself the rabbit miraculous. As for the other character, it’s owned by @precisespace , and their name is Vermini!!

As for the process, there wasn’t much to it. I knew I wanted a dynamic pose and I’m a bit taller than average irl, so I wanted to play with that and push it a bit further. Since this one was my first ever artfight submission, I wanted to take it easy and use it to learn the ropes a bit.

This one has a bit more put into it hehe.

The characters, Ellie and Jade, are owned by AletheSnail on artfight!

Since magical girls are one of my autistic special interests, you bet your money I knew I had to draw them as soon as I read their backstory. It’s genuinely so interesting to me, so please go check it out if you have the chance!

This one, I knew I wanted a “vision obscured” type beat, and to also give a sense of longing. I also tried to do a basic background, and it worked out… decent enough haha. I don’t really like it, but it’s better than nothing

Both of these characters are owned by @imthatfilthysinner !

Due to being diagnosed with Star Wars hyperfixation, the rest of all these will be Star Wars ocs.

While it was originally Arielle’s (the Twi’Lek) design that caught my eye, Fii’s backstory,,, I’m obsessed

For this one, I wanted it to look like they were at a table debriefing or something, but then I got lazy and just drew shapes. Hopefully it gets the message across well enough TvT

Sinner did a revenge on me, so this is my revenge back!!

They drew my oc, Vinon, and Fii together when they’re adults in a situation where they meet again after remembering each other as younglings. This inspired me to draw a scene with padawan Vinon and Fii greeting each other!!

I also wanted an excuse to design Vinon’s master finally, so meet Zalale! And the other Chiss is Fii’s master, Saan Bo.

I used Sinner’s piece as a reference for their poses, and I pretty much traced a screenshot from one of the movies for the background. I really super like how this one came out! I think it’s my favorite attack of mine this year!!

Guys… Jinoro’s story… sobs and explodes and dies.

Them and their padawan, Marz, immediately stole my heart. As such, I drew Jinoro giving Marz a funeral after she dies.

I knew I wanted a bit of an angle on this piece, and used Anakin’s funeral as a reference for the scene. I really super suck at drawing fire, so this was good practice! I also really like how this one came out haha

Jinoro and Marz both belong to @tyquu !!

This was a revenge for @spacedem0n !!

They drew my oc, Rasdra (the Twi’Lek) and their oc, Bleen, meeting and hanging out after order 66. As such, I thought it would be fun to draw an interaction between them when Rasdra was still a youngling and before Bleen left the Jedi Order!

I’m not too happy with how Rasdra came out, but I used full creative freedom when it came to designing a padawan version of Bleen. I genuinely had way too much fun with it haha

Once again, I mostly traced a background from a screenshot in one of the movies, and I don’t think it turned out horrible, so I’ll take it as a win!!

In conclusion, this month as my first artfight was AMAZING. I received tons of amazing art of my characters, and it was fun to indirectly bounce ideas off of others! I look forward to seeing the winning team, and I also look forward to next year already!

[quietroadkill]

long angry blabla

I think maybe despite the horrors (actual genuine human atrocities I lived through) if I wasn't autistic I might be likeable.

genuinely I think if I was normal. then I would be a tragic trauma uwubean instead of a traumatized autist who is eccentric and unsociable. and I'm a nice (was a nice) autist too like I genuinely have serious naivete about who to trust or who to befriend or how people should treat me because I'm disabled & was socially isolated as a result of my captivity. I'm not unsocial in the sense of cruel (no matter how snarky I seem online.) I'm unsocial as in you get to bully me for a year and I only catch on later and it mentally ruins me. I can't keep up socially so I stopped trying. because you fuckers are weird and cruel. I try (tried?) really hard to be kind and understanding because I wanted to be the kind of person I wished I knew, and people ate me alive for fun about it.

like I get haha autism beam website but you still make fun of cringe people... like me. or people who care too much, like me. or people who get frustrated because they take shit too seriously, like me, or people who are gullible, or too trusting, or uninformed, or older/younger than you & "your generation", or who dress weird, talk weird, move weird, can't make eye contact, completely miss social cues ETC! I take months to "catch on" to a social cue I missed sometimes literal years! and there are some autists who will never understand (& that's ok!) but you can't even accept someone like me so I don't think you accept people who are autistic in different ways than I and I like, held down jobs at one point. some people can't. I can't anymore.

I met a group of people who insisted that I wasn't autistic, I was just evil / bad and weird, and intentionally so as in being a freak to provoke them! and their justification was that the group had two autistic friends in it and I wasn't like them so I wasn't autistic. I was just lying for attention or wtvr. as if trauma doesn't shape you differently let alone your experiences being autistic? glad I went through ABA as a non autistic person I guess? (sarcasm)

you can smile and cheer and oooh autism ally blah blah blah but if you're still out here calling peoples interests cringe or mocking them for being Weird then you're a fucking loser truly all disrespect! you don't really like autists you like palatable freaks. and I mean that wholeheartedly you can play ally all you want but when I show up and you call me weird or a freak I know you don't actually mean anything you say. you like autists who mask well or who present in ways that are Normal Enough & that makes you weak and cowardly. allyship is an active role you partake in not just brownie point button pin you smack on. you suck. if you can't handle people who are different from yourself and your limited scope of tolerance than you're pathetic. I promise you. your tolerance is not in fact allyship. your circle of acceptability closes in around you and will cut you to the wolves one day. what will you do then.

I think if you meet a jaded bitter hardened autist you should give them some fucking grace because the world curbstomps us constantly. so. maybe I seem like a huge dry snarky bitch online but 3 years ago I was overwhelmingly a doormat to the extent that everyone I knew commented on it even the people actively using me. I experienced autism burnout and became more cut & dry, less emotive - I stopped overcompensating for how clinical I come across. I got fucking sick to death of playing Coy Kind Sweetly Girl and started being weirdo in a coat who speaks calmly and dryly. I tried to keep my softness and in the end I wound up sour and curdled because I couldn't survive constantly pouring out of my bucket of grace when nobody extended the grace to me; every misstep was a crucifixion. every fumble or awkward moment I excused for others was a fuck up to condemn me for because I was expected to perfectly rigidly preform constantly with no room for any slip out of perfection. the well of eternal forgiveness is dry. I'm tired. so many people are so deeply cruel, it's all they know, and if not handing out Benefit Of Doubt for their cruel words and actions like candy on halloween makes me evil then I guess I'm the fucking villain. idc. I'm being offputting on purpose now to drive you all away. if you hold out your hands cannibals will bite them so hold out a shield instead. let them gnaw on the brick wall I made myself into and they will swallow shattered shards of their own teeth and through bloody mouths scream and cry and curse my name for not being something to suck the marrow out of. fuck you.

[true-blue-sonic]

❓️ :)

❓ any WIP snippet you want!

This is an odd one: I have a draft for a short Soulmate AU story in my folder, haha. The idea there is that people have heterochromatic eyes, with one colour being of their own and one being that of their soulmate. Except Espio's got two golden eyes... and thus he Has No Soulmate, very drama, much suck, he pretends it doesn't affect him so much. So I hope you enjoy this ^-^

~~~~

With a glower Espio stares at his reflection in the mirror, washing his face and studying his eyes. His two eyes, with no difference in colour between them; both a golden yellow, both honeyed and marvelled at by many interested in him and neither matched by any of those people.

“It might not mean anything, really,” Vector had assured him with a bright smile, his one orange and one brown eye kind and fond. “Some people never find their soulmates, but they do find someone else, and they are happy together. And some people do find their soulmate, and they find they don’t like the loss of freedom and break up, and they are happy too. Some people have the same as you, no soulmate at all, and they either never find anyone or do find someone and are also happy. And some people-“

“Yes, I get it,” Espio had interrupted, bristling more than he would have liked himself to.

“I’m just saying you don’t seem to be very open for the idea of falling in love in the first place, Es.”

“Indeed I am not.”

“Well, maybe you should be. It’s wonderful, to be in love.” And that had been the final end of the discussion, and it still makes Espio hiss when he thinks about it. He does not even want a dumb soulmate; it can only be stifling and irking and taking away his attention from his job and tasks he considers so much more important...

That had been his stance on things ever since learning about the prospect of soulmates in the first place, at least, and though the thought the universe does not even have a soulmate out there for him stings, during lonely nights and quiet days he is content.

Or so he always said.

“Thanks for coming too, Espio,” Sonic beams at him, before his half-emerald, half-jade gaze drops down to his chilidog-sauce-covered fingers the chameleon is staring at as well and he quickly licks it away with a giggle as Espio grimaces. “Sorry, heh. But I hadn’t even had time to ask you how you are doing so far! Having fun at the party?”

With a nod Espio hums. The Blue Blur’s birthday party had been quite a struggle to plan out; not because of any unwillingness on everyone’s parts, but because the speedy hedgehog is simply that adept at finding out what they are doing on any other day, plus being plenty fast and capable of showing up in unexpected places within seconds on top. “I am glad the planning went well,” the chameleon thus says. “And that you are having fun, as well. It is your party, after all.”

“I’m having a blast! And I had no idea you guys had anything in store!” Sonic beams back at him. “Heh, and even Eggman showed up to wish me a happy birthday- a good day, really.”

“Hm hm.” Surely Eggman did not show up only for that alone, and Espio suppresses a frown at the memories of being frozen in time, short as it had lasted- well, to be fair, it had not lasted any time at all within the timeless void Eggman had banished everyone to. But Sonic saved the day as usual, and thus he can only be happy.

Eyes already firmly trained on another unattended chilidog on the table Sonic shoots him a little smile from the corner of his mouth. “You’re sitting quite alone here.”

“Don’t I always,” Espio retorts back; sure, he is isolating himself quite a bit once Vector’s and Charmy’s shenanigans stopped being fun and started being irking, but he reasons the Blue Blur knows that about him by now.

“Why don’t you try mingling with some of the others guests who are less likely to drive you nuts?”

“Like whom.”

“Ah- hmm-“ Narrowed bi-coloured green eyes trail over the grassy field they had planned the surprise in, Espio’s normal golden gaze following it. Everyone is chatting and mingling, clearly having fun... “Hm! Do you know Silver?” Sonic speaks up, and the chameleon shrugs at the unfamiliarity of the name.

“I do not believe we have met, no.”

“He’s a buddy of mine too! Met him a while ago, fought each other, went on some adventures, sparred in that white void just now, he’s great.”

“That sounds lovely,” Espio deadpans back.

“Yup!! Heh, I think he is isolating himself as well, actually. Says he doesn’t really know what to do with so many people around.”

“That sounds like me, then.”

With a little grin Sonic bounces away. “He’s over in the little forest over there, if you want to look for him. And if you do see him, tell him I said hi!”

“Yes, of course. Have a good day, Sonic.”

“Will do bye!!” And with that the speedster dashes away, unassuming chilidog getting snatched and people laughing and singing Happy Birthday in the distance as Espio shakes his head. Sonic truly can be too enthusiastic for his own good at times... and he does not even want to meet with some new person. Probably also someone with heterochromic eyes, with the promise of a soulmate in one, someone who will pity him for the fact he has no such thing, he notes bitterly to himself before he can help it... before he shakes his head with a grunt. He is above all that, after all, and no matter what this Silver thinks of him and his two completely normal golden eyes it is not his problem. And besides, maybe this Silver is a calm, even-tempered, laid-back and pleasantly quiet person-

Actually, Espio interrupts himself in that train of thought, that seems to be almost impossible if this Silver is also friends with Sonic.

Sighing deeply the chameleon gets up, stretching himself out and rubbing one eye. It is nice, to sit here in the sun; but stretching his legs and going on a walk sounds nice as well. Not to mention Sonic will pester him about talking to Silver... If he just goes to that little forest for a walk he can say he at least tried to meet that person and missed him, and if he does come across him he can keep it at useless small talk and other such nonsense before making his escape. Yes, Espio nods, setting a brisk pace towards the swaying trees in the distance. No matter which scenario, it’ll be exactly the way he likes it.

Finding himself in the small forest before long – more a glorified collection of trees than a real forest – Espio permits a small smile to form on his face. With the foliage blocking most of the noises from the birthday party in the distance he can focus on the sounds of nature around him: the birdsong and the rustling of leaves in the wind and-

Something akin to a crash, and a loud one at that.

Freezing up Espio lets his fingers trail over the kunai always hidden in his glove cuffs, listening intently to the noises around him. An animal, most likely, or a robot, unfortunately not that unlikely, or-

“Ow! Owwwww.”

...A child?

“Silver, you've got to be more careful,” a voice rings out inbetween the trees a bit distantly, the chameleon’s tail flicking as he inches closer with something stirring in his chest he can’t exactly place. “You can’t keep getting yourself stuck in bushes, that’s just dumb. And they’ll laugh at you if they find out."

Brow furrowing at the hint of sadness intermixing the disappointed tone Espio scuffles to the place he can hear the voice from, peeking past a handful of bushes at the source... which is a small grey hedgehog hopelessly entangled in a bush, the two long quills flowing from his back and getting tugged at uselessly by... hands adorned with cyan circles? “Okay, so this is a bit of a situation,” the child - or rather teenager, because he's not that small - speaks again, grunting as he twists his head around; with the awkward way he is sitting Espio can’t even see what his face looks like. “So maybe-“

“Excuse me,” the chameleon interrupts, aiming to step up to the anthro- and stiffening as a growl resounds and the child begins fussing and squirming instead with the same odd cyan colour rising up all around him. “Wait- sorry! I do not mean you harm, I wish to help you-"

“Who are you!” the anthro snaps at him... rather clumsily, considering Espio can barely see a hint of his face staring up at him.

“My name is Espio, and I presume you are Silver, and now stop twisting like that before you get any brambles stuck in your face next,” Espio retorts, unexpectedly forceful; but he has plenty of experience with Charmy and his shenanigans, and thus he knows very well how to be firm with someone. “I wish to help you, but you need to sit still.”

A huff resounding the other fusses some more, but it pipes down soon enough, the realisation he is hopelessly stuck presumably having struck him. “...Okay. But if you hurt me-!"

“I have no intention to, what with you being a friend of Sonic and all.” Carefully sitting next to him Espio lets his fingers trail over the thick branches wrapped around grey quills, a little smile forming on his face at the way two tiny ears perk up.

“Oh, you know Sonic too?”

“Indeed I do,” Espio hums back, touching his lips with a deep frown replacing the little grin; he hardly smiles, so why... Shaking that thought away he quickly hums, grabbing his kunai after all and carefully moving to cut through the tinier twigs and twines first. “Indeed, he is a companion of the Chaotix Detective Agency which I am a part of as well. We helped plan his birthday party- though I do not recall inviting you.”

A laugh which makes the odd feeling in his chest stir up only more resounds, light and amused. “I mean, I wasn’t invited, actually! I don’t know what happened. One moment I’m just hanging out by myself, and the next I’m in some sort of white void in a ruined city-“ the other’s voice hitches just barely at that, but before Espio can question what it means it recovers- “and then Sonic comes up to me and asks for my Emerald. That was all really suspicious, so I fought him!! And then I lost.”

“Oh,” Espio hums back, his tail giving a twitch with something he cannot place.

“Which is too bad, but it was epic. And then he fought that purple monster thing, and then we were all back here, and t h e n he asked me to stay for his birthday and celebrate as well. So I guess I’m here now.”

“I... see.” Face having long assumed a rather amused frown at the slightly-hectic recalling of events Espio hums and smiles, untangling the other’s quills slowly from the bramble bush and checking one final time if the other truly is free. “Well met, Silver, and my condolences for losing your spar. You’re free now.”

“Thanks- oh, thank you!!” Scrambling up the child flies into the air, shaking out his pelt with a delighted little whoop as Espio stares up at him with quickly-growing confusion. Just what is that cyan around him?! “You’re awesome, Espio!” Silver beams, turning around with a bright smile sent his way- but before the chameleon can respond to ask about the odd colour his eyes fall on the hedgehog’s face, and his words die on his tongue as his body goes a ghostly cold.

Because Silver has the exact same eyes as he does.

John Egbert, Jade Harley, Davesprite

Act 6, page 4336-4345

JOHN: oh man, rose and dave have sweet god tier pajamas like us! that's so awesome.

JOHN: haha, dave looks like kind of a doofus with that snug little hood.

JADE: i think he looks cool!!!!!

JADE: the cape is great, hes like a super hero now

JOHN: that's true.

JOHN: i still think i prefer my outfit though.

JOHN: look at all those trolls...

JOHN: there are so many trolls. the idea of meeting them all is kind of overwhelming.

JOHN: i wonder which one is which?

JOHN: i think that must have been karkat there. and that was probably his clown asshole friend he mentioned, too.

JADE: yup

JOHN: and that was definitely terezi, with the fancy glasses.

JOHN: not sure about the others... i wonder if vriska was there?

JADE: ...

JOHN: it's nice to see rose looks better.

JOHN: last time i saw her, she looked really grim.

JOHN: and also, dark.

JOHN: i was trying to talk to her, but she sounded like a babbling monster, so i couldn't understand her.

JOHN: it was really frustrating, and all of my nervous rambling probably made me sound like an idiot.

JOHN: and then when i woke up later, she was dead.

JADE: :(

JOHN: did you know...

JOHN: that i had to kiss her to make her come back to life?

JADE: !!!

JOHN: yes, it's true.

JOHN: it's kind of weird kissing a dead body, but i didn't mind.

JOHN: how did you feel about it when you kissed dave when he died?

JADE: ...........

JADE: how did you know about that!

JOHN: karkat told me.

JADE: oh

JADE: that figures

JOHN: do you think that all of our unbridled corpse smooching means karkat's silly shipping prophecy will come true?

JADE: umm

JOHN: i mean, the guy is really angry, and says fuck like in practically every sentence.

JOHN: but he does weirdly seem to know what he's talking about when it comes to romance.

JADE: yeah

JADE: i dunno

JADE: do you want it to come true?

JOHN: man.

JOHN: i don't know.

JOHN: do you?

JADE: hmmmmmm.....

JOHN: hmm, indeed.

JADE: i think i miss them already

JADE: and weve only been here for a few minutes :(

JOHN: yeah.

JOHN: there's a lot i want to tell them about.

JOHN: and a lot i want to ask them.

JADE: well

JADE: you could ask them now if you want

JOHN: really?

JADE: yes

JADE: in fact

JADE: you can hop right through me and join them

JADE: then you can travel with them to the new session if you like

JOHN: whoa!

JOHN: well, heck, why don't we do that then?

JOHN: it would probably be more fun with them than being on this golden battleship by ourselves.

JADE: it probably would!

JADE: but i cant go with you

JADE: i can serve as a gateway

JADE: but i cant travel to the sun myself, remember?

JOHN: oh yeah.

JOHN: dammit!

JADE: but its ok, really!

JADE: if thats what you wanted to do, i wouldnt mind

JADE: but whatever you do, you have to decide quickly

JADE: they will be departing from the sun very soon

JOHN: but i wouldn't want to leave you here all alone for three years.

JOHN: that would suck!

JADE: i wouldnt really be alone though

JADE: i have the population of five planets to keep me company!

JOHN: :O

JOHN: that's right.

JOHN: that makes it seem not so boring i guess.

JOHN: but still...

JOHN: i would feel really bad leaving you here, even if you do have a million salamanders and chess guys to keep you company.

JOHN: you are my friend and also my sorta-sister, and we just met for the first time ever a few minutes ago...

JOHN: i'm not going to be like, welp! see ya in three years jade!

JADE: awww :D

JADE: ok then

JADE: personally, i think this trip could be a lot of fun!

JADE: theres no pressure to do anything important or run around like lunatics anymore

JADE: we can just relax

JOHN: yeah.

JOHN: now that you mention it, i'm pretty beat.

JOHN: also... starving!!!

JADE: woof!

JADE: whoops

JOHN: heheh.

JOHN: i sure hope there are things to eat on those planets.

JOHN: there were a lot of weird glowing mushrooms on lowas. i dunno about those.

JOHN: i seem to remember a bunch of farms on the battlefield...

JADE: there should be lots of good stuff on the planets

JADE: also i would bet this ship is stocked with plenty of military rations

JOHN: yeah, probably.

JOHN: pff, hell, we could just raid all of our fridges and alchemize some tasty grub!

JADE: oh yeah!!!

JADE: durrr, problem solved

JOHN: ok, cool.

JOHN: but it would still be nice to say hi to everybody before they leave.

JOHN: just to let them know how we're doing.

JADE: yes

JOHN: like, one of the last things rose saw before she died was me dying...

JOHN: i wonder if she knows i'm ok?

JADE: im pretty sure she knows a ton of things now

JADE: considering she is a fully realized seer of light

JOHN: yeah, probably.

JOHN: then maybe i'll just hop over real fast, and give karkat a fist bump, and give dave a hard time about his hella tight little hood, and then hop back?

JADE: im sure that would be hilarious

JADE: but

JADE: if you go i dont think i can bring you back

JADE: i cant bring anyone or anything to here from there!

JOHN: aw man, really??

JADE: as far as i know...

JADE: if theres a way i havent figured it out yet

JADE: i am still kind of new to this omnipotence thing after all :\

JOHN: that's stupid.

JOHN: what is with all these rules!

JADE: i dont know!

JADE: im sure the rules exist for a good reason though

JADE: maybe to somewhat limit the power and reach of omnipotent beings?

JADE: if there are no limits at all, it could be especially dangerous in the wrong hands

JADE: like what happened with jack!

JOHN: isn't that a contradiction though?

JOHN: if there are limits to your powers, you can't exactly be OMNIpotent, can you?

JOHN: more like...

JOHN: semipotent.

JADE: then i guess thats what we are!

JADE: semipotent demigods

JOHN: demidogs.

JADE: woof woof woof!

JADE: dammit!!!!!!

JOHN: heh...

JOHN: can you not control the woofs?

JADE: i havent gotten the hang of the woofs yet :(

JOHN: so, the dog ears...

JOHN: is that a permanent thing now, or what?

JADE: i think so

JOHN: i like them.

JADE: i do too!

JOHN: you are like a furry now, but not really the weird kind that people on the internet like to have sex with in their imagination.

JADE: D:

JOHN: hey, can i at least send a message through?

JOHN: like a note or something?

JADE: sure!

JADE: better hurry up and write it though

JOHN: oh snap! ok, gotta think, quick...

JOHN: what do i write on?

JOHN: maybe the back of a movie poster or something?

JOHN: i don't think i have one captchalogued though...

JOHN: and now that i think about it, most of them were ruined by imps. :(

JADE: how about this one?

JADE: looks like its still in pretty good condition

JOHN: yes, that's perfect!!!

JOHN: everyone will love it, especially probably dave.

JOHN: i think i need something to fold it up and put it in though.

JOHN: i don't want to just like crumple it up and chuck it in there like some garbage...

JOHN: i could stick it in a book i guess.

JOHN: but i kind of don't want to part with any great reading material, especially since we're going on a long trip.

JADE: john you have to hurry!

JOHN: ok, ok, um...

JADE: here, will this work?

JOHN: oh, yeah. i guess that'll be fine.

JOHN: now, uhhh, what to write...

JADE: whatever you write just make it quick!

JADE: and tell everyone i say hi!

JOHN: ok, will do.

JADE: ok, while you work on that, i think ill bring up some friends

JOHN: huh?

JADE: you know, let some of our travel companions get acquainted with the ship!

JOHN: oh fuck, it's dave sprite!!!

JOHN: i forgot about him.

DAVESPRITE: yeah no shit

JOHN: how've you been, buddy?

JADE: shooooooooosh!!!!!

JADE: write now, catch up later!

JOHN: ok, i think this is a pretty good letter.

DAVESPRITE: let me check it out

DAVESPRITE: maybe ill humorously defile willis and afflecks dumb skyward yearning faces

JOHN: oh HELL no.

DAVESPRITE: come on dude hand it over

JADE: nooooo come on guys theyre about to go just stuff it in the bucket and throw it at me already!!!

DAVESPRITE: too late i already did it with sprite powers while he wasnt looking

JOHN: augh you bastard!

JOHN: wait a minute!

JOHN: i forgot, trolls hate cleaning products for some alien reason! shit, that's going to make everyone so uncomfortable.

JOHN: oh well, there it goes. too late i guess.

DAVESPRITE: ahahahaha you fucked up

[yippieitsarvensart]

dont worry about the time of replies!!! we are in different timezones anyways

JDNNWBS THANK YOU ?!!?!! feel free to study me under a microscope im an interesting lil guy i think youll have a blast

oooooo yes yes i see ur vision.... the way i go with is that floyd isnt that fond of the contacts but his eyesight is so horrible that if he doesnt he bumps EVERYWHERE. jade had to put it in him the first time and hes slowwwlyyy getting used to it, but he immediately takes it off when hes in his room. floyd is very "when i put on my glasses and the walls have texture, ppl have faces & the plant have leaves" to me LOL. also side note i loooove caring azul that doesnt want to admit it so much <3

theyre girlie pops to me does this make sense. i have some hcs for their fashion too xhhshs these guys have RUINED me

would you believe me if i told you that i was already in lovw with riddle and then i did my hcs and boom. even more in love u

THIS REMINDS ME I DIDNT SAY THE RACE HCS I HAVE FOR THOSE THREE ?!?! ok so the tweels are black italians + vietnamese, while riddle is wasian (british + korean&chinese)!

OH AND I ALSO FORGOT TO SAY i hc that riddle needs glasses too :3c but she uses contacts! when hes overwhelmed he tends to isolate himself and he either tends to the hedgehos/flanmingos or tends to the garden/maze. and her meltdowns are much like her a anger fits, she just gets really really upset and wants to throw things around and behead people, hes very agressive! to calm him down you need to put him in a comfortable & familiar room, preferrably with tons of red (his favorite color), and talk to him normally about the things he likes + offer solutions to the problems until he calms down.

anyways silver > autism, narcolepsy. uses he/ him and is bissexual (no preference), but does Not get gender at all. i hc that fae's perception of gender is different than humans, and since he was raised by lilia he does not understand humans' genders. so he just goes w the flow haha. his hands are trembling slightly allll the time he cannot stop it. hes chinese + has albinism ! bc of that he gets burned pretty easily, has to eat a balanced diet and his eyesight sucks just a little, so he doesnt need any glasses or anything. yet. he has some small scars from his training, his hair is mullet-ish and very long, and he dyes it black + leaves some white strands to match w lilia. whenever he gets overwhelmed he lays flat on the grownd, belly down face on the ground, puts a blanket over himself and then just Stays There until it passes. his meltdowns are quiet he just stares off into the void and considers yanking off his ears lol. also he has some bite scars bc sebek used to bite him when he was changing his baby teeth, silver has a necklace w them!! he understands animals better than he understands ppl and he can recgonize every single species. thats his special interest btw, animals!! hes mostly a horse girlie tho <3

sebek > autism, ocd, auditory processing disorder. the reason he yells all the time is bc he cant listen very well + cant control his voice volume. he also uses he/him & is bissexual but, much like silver and bc he is a half fae, he does not get human gender. technically speaking he could be considered bigender too! i hc that in the future, he (and riddle + the tweels too) would take estrogen :3c and HE WEARS BRACES !!!! cmon crocodile teeth are kinda horrible and his dads a dentist. so. yeah. also he has some scales, but theyre so few and mostly on his arms + legs, so they are covered most of the time! hes very resistant to physical stuff, rarely feels pain and doesnt get tired easily. if he does use his magic, though, then he gets tired pretty easily, since his half human body cant keep up w the fae magic. his hair is a MESS he passes so much gel and it still sticks up a bit. hes so into the lighting motif hes COMMITED !!!! also horses just hate him for some reason. principally vorpal (riddles horse) lol. when hes overwhelmed he does push ups, runs, just trains in geneal. if its too loud he just yells SHUT THE FUCK UP and everyone is stunned so they do. he feel really bad after though djsbnds .... his special interest is malleus draconia (lol) and dragons :3c

OOOOO so cute and silly ...... ok ok i'll write something like tgat no worries :3c anything else youd like to see in the fic? i can shove smth more!!! im gonna cook. wait for me

all I could think about while readinf this was "estrogen could save them..." Like if I was bad at responding to asks that is ALL I would've said in response; but luckily I am autistic and could not bare to just leave it at that.

Jade having to help Floyd put in his contacts for the first time makes me also think that like, what if Jade has to do it every morning. Every single morning from the day they first came on land they've had to put them in for Floyd... Brotherly bonding time EHAHAHAHA But that's the only way F could get used to it, they can't do it on their own otherwise they'll mess it up or stab themself in the eye or whatever. "Having Jade do it is just easier" he says. Jade doesn't complain about it either because she'd rather have to do it for every day of their lives than have Floyd get seriously hurt because he can't see SHIT. Anyways...

Sil and Sebs having little to no connection with gender bc of being half fae/influenced by living with fae is so, so real. and true. If I'm correct, Silver is just human? And being raised by Lilia who is VERY gender in ALL sorts of ways, I think Sil may have had a few gender crisis' over the years because of it (I sure woulda), starting from a very young age. But like he's fine now he's chill with whatevevraarrrr (I LEAVE TO GO DO SOMETHING, COME BACK AND SUDDENLY NOTHING I JUST WROTE MAKES SENSE??? what is bro blabbering about. anyways.)

Overall I so so agree with all ur hcs they make so much SENSE !!!! I have nothing more to add to the rest of it you're just so correct that I can't think of anything more anything else to add to the fic errmm... uerhhmm... Well we could have maybe... *brain thinking sounds*

... I don't even remember what I said last time btu that's okay I think you should make them kiss 🔥🔥and also make up 🔥🔥 (I alr made that joke I think. I'm so unoriginal.) Uhmmm you could make riddle CRY 💧💧💧💧I don't kno w you could make them uhmm you coud uhhh *send post*

[truckfreaks]

anonymous confession time!

mutual here, we've been mutuals for a bit and when seeing you on my dash i usually think man, i wish we were friends!

you seem like such a lovely person, sometimes you post poetic stuff and i find myself pining, deeply longing to get in touch with you! i want to get to know you better, i'm just a bit unsure how to and if it would be strange or awkward, especially after a confession like this - making friends over tumblr is hard, haha!

actual photo of me reading this over my morning coffee and being very normal about it

um!!!! this is incredibly sweet and kind and makes my heart happy. thank you so much for saying this. i have very, very, very poor understanding of how to engage with folks, so i totally get that - but usually sort of in the opposite direction? to explain: i'm not one who shies away from replying to/rbing/dming someone if i know they'd like a thing or that i have a question for them or if i just think they're neat... but i also know a lot of folks do *not* do this... so i don't take it to heart but very often i do wonder if i am being incredibly annoying when I just. say things to ppl. mutuals or not hahaha.

the only thing I'm not interested in is becoming close friends with people who are a LOT younger than me, like, teens i guess, bc i am just at a different stage of my life. when i was that age i hung out with people a lot older than me and it left me feeling very Jaded around my peers, which sucked, and i'd hate to do that to anyone else!

that being said: my point is, i REALLY love engaging with others. i do not get much of an opportunity to do so IRL in relation to folks with common interests. i love talking to people, and especially if you feel like the things i write resonate with you to any degree - please please reach out! the fact that you were able to write this at all despite being nervous is incredibly brave to me and i think that is just so cool! so thank you! let's be friends! :)

[utsuboarchive]

something occurs to floyd then; this guy has no idea who he is. has no idea who his brother is. at least their dad had told jade who vil was, and the importance of their ties to the family. details jade had shared when he was most conflicted on the choice their parents had made. he still doesn't know why jade didn't put up more of a fight if it upset him so much. were it him in his shoes, none of this would happen. maybe that fact alone is why they chose jade, and not himself.

must really suck though, not even having a name. what kind of person doesn't even tell their kid the name of who they're getting hitched with?

one hand slips out of his pocket, and curls around the door handle. his body kept facing forward, demeanor calm and easy. " i'd hope i was haha! " intentionally leaving out that he was in fact... his brother. does he even know they're merfolk? he has to at least been given that much, right? if not, then vil would be in for some very surprising and potentially awkward discoveries. funny...

floyd flashes vil a toothy smile, and opens the door. side stepping with it so the exit was left unimpeded. good, leave the room to himself so he can sit and play on his phone. " they'll be fine without me for a bit. 'sides, what do i have to really rehearse for huh? " tilting his head to gesture for him to get out.

Vil couldn't get past this man and how he carried himself. From coming into a room and not even rushing to leave when he learned it was occupied to sporting a tousled and shabby appearance in attire and his attitude, to match. He stuck out compared to the others he'd seen rushing through the hallways. Does he work here? Perhaps he was running late which would explain his appearance.

Vil didn't even realize the face he was making when the intruder speaks, but the slight frown was intentional. Bride to be. Is he mocking him? He doesn't answer. He only glances behind the gentleman again, hoping to find that the dresser magically reappeared but when she doesn't ... he's trying to make sense of this guy's presence and debating on whether or not he should call attention to him or not.

Painted lips part as though to ask who this "Jade" person is but this guy says something that makes Vil's thoughts still and suddenly he's got an idea. No one's gonna stop me, he says?

"I presume you're the best man?" That doesn't make this encounter any less strange. "Shouldn't you be with everyone else, then?" What kind of groomsman hides in one of the dressing rooms? He says no one will stop him but assuming this guy is part of the rehearsal since he speaks of (who Vil had guessed at this point) his fiancé, who's to say he won't go telling when Vil decides to head out?

[cursedcola]

Prompt: What would they do to celebrate your birthday?

Part(s): Heartslabyul, Savanaclaw, Scarabia, Octavinelle, Pomefiore, Ignihyde, and Diasmonia You’re here: Octavinelle!

A/N: Hey everyone. I know I have requests backed up to the nines but was my birthday and I need some comfort teehee (I am also SO mad that twst doesn’t have a thing for the MCs birthday >:( ). Some are longer than others because the inspiration train hit, but I really don't care. I love me my boys, what can I say? I hope you guys can read this for your birthdays and be happy :)

Azul Ashengrotto

Classy stud right here. Like Riddle, he wants to have you all to himself. So he waits until the evening to spring a surprise your way. Unlike Riddle, he has a perfectly good restaurant at his disposal and two trained waiters

The lounge is closed for the night. He made sure no one had made any reservations and that the lounge was scheduled for “maintenance”. You have absolutely no idea what he is planning. If you do? It gets squashed so quick by the “decoy,” present he gave you at breakfast.

The day is nearing its end and suddenly you’re asked to make a delivery to the lounge. Just a random student taking advantage of the magicless prefect, no different than the usual. It isn’t anything new.

When you get there? Jade is at the entrance and shoves you into the bathroom with a box. Inside is a dazzling navy-blue (dress/suit) and matching accessories. You are told to put them on, and when you step out Floyd is there with a blindfold.

After a quick tussle, you are blinded and being lead by the arm to the lounge area. When you get in, the tweels leave and Azul takes the liberty of granting you sight.

The first thing you see are his gentle eyes, taking in your visage and the outfit he picked out. Then you notice the dim light coming from the Jellyfish tanks and string lamps in the room. Instead of the normal set up, the lounge has been emptied save for one table in the center and various under the sea decorations. He’s hired an entertainer, and you both enjoy dinner together while listening to smooth jazz

He asks you to dance, which is something Azul steers clear from since land legs are new to him. Yet? He wants you to feel special and to be close. So he sucks it up and you both sway to the music while talking.

His present? A seashell pendant that looks strangely familiar to Ursula’s. However, Azul has no intention of stealing your voice. Quite the opposite, actually.

“Wherever you may be, simply speak into this and I will hear it. It’s enchantment has been sealed with one of my contracts, therefore binding with my subconscious—the contract terms? Ah, uhm…until the day i cease loving you shall we forever be connected by this conch. It is unbreakable,”

Jade Leech

Darlin’ were you expecting something romantic? For him to sweep you off of your feet? To be lavished with praise? Haha. You’re funny.

Jade has you knee deep in mudd for your birthday. Literally. You are in hiking boots and being forced to go mushroom picking with him

“Quality time,” he calls it. My eel here basically pretends that it is not your birthday, and instead drags you through the morning dew to get covered in the scents of nature. Who wants to be hiking when there’s class in only a few hours? Does he have no shame for cutting your sleep short?

No. With each look over his shoulder, Jade only appears to be having the time of his life. Watching his little human who’s had legs much longer than him get destroyed by his favorite hobby

It frankly sucks, until he deviates from the mountain trail. Every time you ask him where you’re going he just does one of his evil chuckles. Very scary, but you love it.

Eventually you reach a cliff overlooking NRC’s campus. For a moment it looks like he’s going to push you off of it, but he merely jests. In just a second he is pulling out an entire picnic from his backpack

It’s…so domestic and simple. He has breakfast sandwiches, sliced fruits, juice, and a portable kettle for (tea/coffee/cocoa). He basically dragged you out to watch the sunrise. It’s so…not likeJade? Yet is like him at the same time?

A moment of respite from the chaos of NRC. Enjoying one of the few things he loves about the surface world, and sharing a rare moment alone. That is Jade’s present to you….oh, and a mini terrarium. Inside you can cultivate your own fungi family :)

“Happy Birthday. A moment such as this is quite rare for us. Do not get too comfortable—after all, one misstep could send you into the next life. Oh, don’t look at me like that. You know perfectly well that life would be too boring for me without you here,”

Floyd Leech

How well can you swim? Floyd remembers when you visited the ocean during Azul’s little game, but that was too boring. He wants to have fun and go swimming! Perhaps you will find a group os shrimp to bond with!

Floyd antagonizes you about your birthday weeks before it even happens. That is going to be HIS day with you and no one else’s. If the other students even THINK about taking you away??? Well, it’s been a while since he’s had the chance to squeeze anyone

Whether you want it or not, Floyd gives you one of Azul’s famous potions. Except this time it is going to do a little more than just let you breath under water. So, I will ask again, how well can you swim?

A drink here, a push through a portal there, and you are back in the sea. This time with fins! Even though it’s your birthday, Floyd wanted to see his little shrimpy as a mer-person and was not disappointed in the slightest. You will be doing this more often.

Instead of the traditional birthday treat, Floyd makes you try some deep-sea specialties. He teaches you to swim with your new tail (a bit impatiently, so you better learn quickly), drags you throughout the ocean, and at some point you meet Azul’s mom? Uncalled for but it’s all good.

What’s weird is how unnaturally happy Floyd is after you get the hang of swimming. He’s still overly excited and teases you like normal—although after some time he lets you simply explore and fall in love with the sea. He doesn’t have a physical present for you, but does husk out a clam for you to take home.

“Ne, Ne, Shrimpyyy~ You’re getting pretty good as swimming down here, huh? Not as good as me but isn’t it so much better to have fins than those stupid legs? You need to practice more since you’ll be living down here with me soon. Let’s come back and have fun tomorrow too!”

[kimbap-r0ll]

Hi! Hi! I came rushing to request something since your requests are open!!! So um may i request dorm leaders with an s/o that has unique magic like fairy godmother and ever since they got to nrc they've been granting wishes here and there, so the dorm leaders pull them aside so they can rest?

(Sorry if my english sucks english is not my first language)

Hello, thank you for the request! You're English is perfectly fine, no worries!

Dorm leaders x fairy godmother!s/o

Riddle

He thinks that your unique magic is definitely really strong, but it's got to be something that wears you down because of how complicated it is

Sadly, students will use you to their advantage, forcing you to grant them wishes like getting the special sandwich at lunch, getting the highest score in an exam, winning in a game, etc.

Riddle wasn't having this! Not only were students not giving an effort of their own but they were shamelessly harassing you and wearing you out! He'll pull you aside when students swarm you at one point to tell you not to keep going like this. Why not just do like one wish a day if you want to keep granting them?

Either way, he's really concerned for you, and he probably makes sure Heartslabyul students first and foremost don't go to you to harass your unique magic. If you need to run behind someone for help, just know Riddle's here, and he has no issue using his own unique magic if needed

Leona

He doesn't get how you would want to grant wishes, it feels like a chore. He's glad he doesn't have it in that sense, but he also sees why it can be a good magic to have.

That is until he sees the amount of students swarming you in the hallways, asking you to grant them their wishes and even pulling at your hair or clothes at times to get your attention.

Of course, Leona's not the type of person to step in right away, but he's getting fed up. He'll pick you up from the crowd and just carry you out of the place. No one wants to challenge him either, he's the head of Savanaclaw after all! He asks you once the two of you are away from others why you keep granting wishes left and right, why not just grant them when you want to? You come first and foremost, not others.

He might ask Ruggie to keep an eye on you to make sure you aren't being overworked by your own unique magic. He'll also force you to take breaks whenever you look tired. If you ever need to find a place to nap by the way, he'll move over a bit and tell you "don't wake me up though."

Azul

Your taking his job haha. He was the one granting wishes but now you have a unique magic that literally does just that! He's really impressed actually.

However, he sees you getting harassed by others. It's not like there's a contract your forcing them to sign either, so you're just wearing yourself out. He sees people threatening you whenever you say you can't grant a wish, so you're forced to use your magic all the time.

He doesn't like this. At all. Sure, it's his job and he wants to keep it haha, but more importantly he can't stand seeing you tired and worn out like you are right now. He tries to part the crowd but seeing it's impossible, he asks Jade and Floyd for help. Of course, Floyd just jumps in and grabs you, tossing you over his shoulder and carrying you out, saying "okay shrimpy's done granting wishes for today!" You're brought to Mostro Lounge, into Azul's office, and that's where he talks to you about making sure you have yourself first in mind before granting wishes.

The two of you might end up working together with contracts and such, but he doesn't want to see you granting wishes left and right. He reminds you how much you mean to him, and that you need to take care of yourself. Expect the tweels to follow you around closely for a week or so after this!

Kalim

He thinks your ability is super cool, sort of like a genie for him! He asks you what kinds of wishes you like granting the most.

Kalim sees you having a hard time though, trying to grant everyone's wishes and being tugged here and there to get people's wants. He doesn't like the fact that your magic's being abused by others.

He might find your ability amazing and very kind, but he knows that there's limits to magic use. He can't stand seeing how worn out you are by the time you're done with your day. He tries to get you out of the crowd, but he gets tossed out by a larger student. He eventually shouts that the super famous patisserie was selling cakes at the dining hall and everyone runs there. That's when he takes you somewhere more quiet to ask you how you're doing, and if you're okay.

He reminds you that you matter to him, and seeing you so worn out makes him sad. He asks you to not grant wishes if you can't take it. He'll bring you some of Jamil's cooking at night, making you feel better! Just know that Kalim cares for your wellbeing over anything. He'll even ask if he could make a wish to make you take care of yourself before granting more wishes haha.

Vil

He sees potential in your magic ability, and commends you for being able to master it so perfectly. But he sees the downsides right away: it will wear you out.

He's right too! You're often forced to grant ten to fifteen wishes in a day, all ranging in difficulty and sometimes you feel like you can't take it anymore. You're hair is disheveled by the end of the day and you're starting to slouch more in class because of how tired you are.

Vil, first of all, doesn't like how your appearance is being affected by your work, but he also can't take how you're stressed. He's not scared to part the wave of students when he has to, so he just walks in and takes you by the hand. He tells the students around him that they should be ashamed for how their harassing you as he helps you escape. Once away from others, he tells you that you need to take care of yourself, seeing you like this pains him!

Expect mandatory care routines with him on the weekends! He wants to get you back to your healthy, sparkling state. But more importantly, he wants you to put yourself first this time, and your magic ability can wait for a few weeks so you can rest. If you need to ever vent by the way, he's here for you!

Idia

He thinks it's so cool that you have a wish granting ability. He wants to know what you think of your ability and what kinds of wishes you like granting.

But whenever he tries to say hi to you in school, he sees a crowd around you. It scares him away of course, but he can't imagine how overbearing it must be for you. It would hurt to be surrounded by so many people he would think, and his mind is telling him to somehow get you out of this perilous situation!

Eventually he gets help from Ortho, who just straight up pulls you out, saying "brother needs to see them right now, sorry but wish granting session's closed!" Idia, Ortho, and you take refuge in Ignihyde. There, he hugs you and asks if you're okay, which you thank him and his younger brother for getting you out of that situation. He tells you not to overwork yourself, that you matter to him and seeing you get crowded by people who just look at you for your power makes him upset.

He can't do much by himself to stop the situation because he's shy, but he might help you with a device that can help you get people away from you. I'm almost wondering if he has a teleportation device, maybe he'll make one for you to use! Just know that he wants you to take care of yourself, and if you need cuddles, you're always welcome to stop by at his dorm.

Malleus

He definitely thinks it's fascinating. He wonders how it affects you, and if you're happy with your ability. He definitely thinks you're a strong magic user.

But he can't stand how you're being harassed by other students for your ability. He sees people grabbing your hair and clothes, even punching you at times to get your attention. Whenever you try to run away, people call you "selfish" when you're just worn out!

Malleus doesn't like this. Not at all. He can't stand seeing you being mistreated, you're the one that matters so much to him and you're so precious. His aura and presence alone is scary enough to part the crowd as he steps in to get you. He takes you by the hand gently and walks you away from the situation, no one dares to stop Malleus either. You two end up in a tower away from others in the school where he asks you if you're alright. He also tells you to not wear yourself out, you're a human and to him you're so fragile. Seeing you push yourself over the ledge with your magic hurts him so much. He'll hold you close and say softly to not hurt yourself.

You can always come to Malleus for help! He's someone that the school basically fears, so if you ever walk around with him, people are less likely to jump you for your magic. Because of this, expect the fae prince to follow you around for a while. He also holds your hand the whole time in school haha. Just know that he wants you to be alright, and with him around you can expect to be safe!

I'm guessing you've seen all of LMK Season 4 (excluding the Special obviously) in English by now. Thoughts, comments, concerns?

Monkie Kid spoilers below:

Thoughts & Comments:

So many of the yaoguai have Cockney accents...

Kind of surprised that no one's mentioned Tang's "I have DEVOTED my life to this man!" in regards to Zhu Dachu haha

And in terms of different kinds of relationships involving the pigman it is pretty neat that Dadsy is definitely canon :)

There were a number of genuinely funny moments.

Super awesome that we got Sun Wukong talking about making multiple regrettable life choices though :(

Also I've got to agree with others in saying that it was a real stretch for Qi Xiaotian to take on all the blame for the calamities in seasons past. In that regard it was messed up of SWK to agree with Qi Xiaotian about those things being his fault. IDK if that's yet another example of "SWK is a terrible teacher" or if he's uniquely terrible to mentor Qi Xiaotian because they share a tendency to blame themselves for things that aren't their fault but I also don't know if that will ever be explored.

Also also super awesome that we got even MORE figures from the Monkey King's past who hate his guts because of the violence he put them through. The plot definitely did seem to be be giving itself enough wiggle room so that their animosity might end up being the result of a massive misunderstanding and/or manipulation of memories and/or SWK being forced to do things through headband torture times. But again I'm not really getting why Azure Lion or even a good chunk of Team Monkie--who it must be remembered have no idea the headband torture even happened--would consider SWK getting trapped in the Memory Scroll a bad thing given what they've suffered because of his decisions and failures. Like wow I've seen people say "He was sorry!" but sorry is not going to cut it when you've trapped your besties in an ink hell dimension for a millennia :[ That said the Monkey King did seem to be given a teensy break in the "SWK sucks" parade in terms of Azure Lion describing his failure to take down the Jade Emperor as a defeat, implying that SWK tried his best even if his best wasn't good enough.

Very confused with Qi Xiaotian's deal in terms of him maybe coming from the same stone as Sun Wukong but also maybe not. We'll see if this changes but I actually kinda liked it better when he was just some guy :]. That said it is a kind of neat idea that the stone itself regenerates & produces more monkeys besides the Monkey King; it could explain where the other World-Wreaking Monkeys come from.

Honestly out of everyone it was Sha Dali who was my favorite this season. That blue giant is so cute :3

Kind of seemed like this season was making some digs as Xiyouji's set-up and maybe people who have said that season 1 was their favorite given that the "monsters-of-the-week" format was repeatedly mocked...

I am wondering if and when they're going to explain why Li Nezha seemed to think keeping the old Jade Emperor on his throne was worth more than his own life...given that the sky started to crack after he was killed it seems like that celestial might have literally been holding the heavens together. Although if that's the case haha wow not sure how they'll manage this situation where an oppressive figure was literally necessary for the functioning of reality. Maybe that will give that mysterious hooded figure who instigated all of this a chance to step in...I have seen some people predict that it's Erlang Shen, and that could potentially be interesting if he managed to arrange things so that the uncle who killed most of his family was deposed through the demigod's manipulation but not by his hand, thus leaving Erlang Shen to reclaim heaven from a mere rogue yaoguai. And also with the one guy who was his equal in strength locked away in ink hell world.

Wild that the Six Eared Macaque finally achieved his dream of replacing the Monkey King lmao

Concerns:

Same as usual for me, so that would be: worried that they might just keep doubling and tripling down on what a thoughtless failure SWK is; worried that we're going to get 'end of the world' fatigue soon in terms of the relentlessly high stakes; concerned that the 'revolutionaries against a legitimately unjust system are going to have their actions condemned because they 'went too far' and/or made everything 1000 times worse' trope is going to be recycled here; are we ever going to get bonding moments between SWK and Qi Xiaotian again

---

EDIT: So it does need to be noted that I was being too harsh on the Monkey King with my wording implying that Sun Wukong agreed completely with Qi Xiaotian about the calamities being only his fault so I'll take the L on that. Even so, and even if Qi Xiaotian messed up in a couple of things, I still wish SWK had pushed harder against the idea that all of the catastrophes were only because of his tudi's actions like Qi Xiaotian seems to believe, which I guess he kind of does by noting that the Demon Bull King, Spider Queen, and Lady Bone Demon were angry at the Monkey King first with Qi Xiaotian getting caught in the crossfire. I think he could have done more to point out that these villains were their own agents, or if we got some more down time I think it would be nice to have a shifu-tudi bonding moment of them going through strategies on how they might work together to halt potentially world-ending calamities before they get that catastrophic. After all, making a mistake is one thing, but when it's in the context of "the entirety of the world could end" situations one right after another that does call for some contemplation on what you could do differently!
