Quick drawing of Mukhtar and his jinn friends.

I just imagine him going "get em, guys!" At someone who didn't pay up. By the way, Mukhtar always splits his money with them! 💞

[hallowed-nebulae]

For the ask game: I wish you would write a fic where the KHUX cast were Digimon tamers/chosen children (since I know you ALSO like both franchises, haha).

Oho, this is a fun idea

First thing that comes to mind is Ventus with a meicoomon. Powerful but small? Has a "good" evolution line and a "bad" one? Absolutely fitting. Khux ventus would have a meicoomon → meicrackmon → rasielmon partner I think; wayfinder ventus has a meicoomon → wingdramon → dynasmon partner, while Vanitas has meicoomon → meicrackmon vicious mode → raguelmon as a partner. Ventus-vanitas can have ordinemon as a bit of "wow this is a messed up situation huh", as a treat.

Skuld feels like she'd have a Lunamon (probably Lunamon → lekismon → crescemon → dianamon, traditional evolution line).

Ephemer with Coronamon (and the traditional Coronamon → firamon → flaremon → apollomon line) fits well as well I think. For a bonus, he and skuld's friendship could mean that while player fights them, player's partner digimon could have to fight against a very powerful GraceNovamon, ahaha

I'm not sure what partner I'd give Brain or Player, but I think Lauriam could do well with a Palmon. Lillymon or Rosemon would be the strongest form his partner would get to, I think; I can also imagine said partner going down the Palmon → vegimon → blossomon → lotusmon post-khux, when by marluxia's side

Tbh I feel like one could put digimon alongside khux pretty easily; keyboard wielders having digimon partners as well, and it being tied to that legacy of being a keyblade wielder or something. Digimon partners helping their tamers, not too dissimilar to a chirithy if you think about it -- friends that're for the most part Always There.

Anyways the tldr is I don't think it'd change canon too much but it would be a fun lil fic to write at some point. Digital creatures who are your friends <3

2, 9, 15, 17, 23 for C'Fille please!!

2.) What does your OCs handwriting look like? The best way to describe C'vimi's handwriting would be cramped and difficult to read. The eorzean alphabet is a beast i won't touch so the closest equivalent i can think of is like. russian cursive. godspeed to anyone that needs a note from her.

9.) If your OC were to imagine their idyllic life (realistically or otherwise) what would it be like? Traveling the world and having all kinds of new experiences while having a warm home and friends to return to!...with no high stakes, no countries that need liberating or 1000 year old wars that need ending, please. I can't decide if she would've joined the Redbills or stayed a wandering dancer/white mage though.

15.) What is a common misconception about your OC? (Alternatively, what do people assume about them which is either incorrect or misconstrued?) Although it wouldn't be entirely remiss to think she has a head full of air, with her being the first to admit she's not great with book-smarts, C'vimi catches on to things pretty quickly! Also, one would think that as being a healer first and foremost, she would not be a fan of fighting but. she loves it, C'vimi lives for the thrill of coming out on top of difficult fights and challenging herself.

17.) What sort of role do they take on in relationships, either familial, romantic or platonic. i.e. are they a defender, protector, nurturer, etc. Nurturer, i think. C'vimi encourages others to find and be their best self, and will be there to assist in whatever way she can.

23.) What sort of routines, rituals or rules do they have or set for themselves? A personal rule she has is that she will heal and otherwise provide aid to anyone who needs it, no matter who they are. It can be hard to remember, sometimes.

Aeon Lover AU Part 2

Part 1: https://www.tumblr.com/nqmonarch/749257688234557440/aeon-brainrot?source=share

Characters: Aha, IX

Note: This AU I plan to eventually make Yandere, not in this part but I feel like it's good to let people (my fellow small crowd of Aeon lovers) know.

You stared at Aha's human form, not breaking eye contact as a manic grin stayed on their face. "So you're Aha?"

"Maybeee, maybe I am, maybe I'm not! Does it matter? I'm just here to help you!" They said trying to act all innocent, and blinking their long eye lashes once and then twice.

You paused for a moment, observing the person in front of you. You took a step forward and Aha remained still completely oblivious to your nefarious intentions. You reached your hands out to them and they immediately grabbed them with their own, interlocking them. Holy shit-- your whole body overloaded with that move as your face begin to burn and jumped away.

"Wasn't that what you were trying to do?" Aha asked coyly, smiling at you and holding their empty hand out to you.

You grabbed onto their hand, trying to move it out of the way of their body, "No, I'm trying to undress you," Aha froze at your words mouth twitching, "This body is just a medium right? I'm hoping you didn't steal it... But if you created it I want to see if there's any discrepancies between it and a human body." Perhaps there'd be some kind of dead give away?

The only thing that suggested that Aha wasn't human was their other worldly beauty. "Why did you choose to be so attractive anyway? How much can you change your form?" You asked leaning closer to observe them, a small mole rested beneath the tip of their left eye.

Now that Aha's hand was successfully pushed to the side you tried to remove your hand from it, only to feel their fingers dig into your skin and your hand unable to move. Whatever, you didn't mind holding hands with them the warmth felt nice and made your heart race, albeit that was a bit distracting.

Aha had leaned away from you a bit, their red lips quivering as they held in a laugh before breaking into full out giggles. "Ahaha, you're so forward Y/N," Their eyes flickered over to you, "If you wanted to sleep with me you could've just said so?" They teased you.

You paused at their words, that... being with an Aeon were you worthy of that? Could anyone be worthy of that? Fantasizing was one thing but... if you were given the chance... your head was getting too muddled with thoughts of this. Aha was just joking anyway but if there was an Aeon that would be up to sleeping with a human for fun then... it would probably be Aha wouldn't it?

"What did you mean earlier when you said you were here to help me?" You asked changing the topic and averting your eyes from them. You tried to pull your hand away again but it stuck to Aha's. Your head shot up, "Did you glue our hands together?!"

Aha laughed, staring down at you, "I was going to be your wingman for an Aeon but--"

"Really?!" You perked up immediately throwing your other arm around Aha's back and holding him closer. You didn't bother moving your glued hand and instead kept it in Aha's grasp. "That'd really be amazing!" It was no wonder Aha would find entertainment from trying to set a normal human up with an Aeon.

You'd read that he once picked up a random worm and made it incredibly intelligent to try and grab the attention of Nous. When it failed he discarded the worm without a second thought. It was weird to think you were on the same level as a worm but hey, it gave you a chance to maybe meet another Aeon. You stared at Aha's face, noticing the slightly furrowed sharp eyebrows and their eyes cast downward. You wondered if they'd show you their Aeon form one day?

Either way they seemed a bit upset right now? Annoyed? Perhaps they were just holding in their laugh super hard right now. You deemed that it was probably the latter as a smile overtook their face.

"Of course! " They grinned letting out a small giggle and holding up their entwined hand with yours, and dashing behind you, "I'm so sad! You're over me already!" You knew it was a joke but for some reason you felt a great feeling of heartbreak come over you. You felt like falling to your knees but you stood still anyway feeling one of Aha's arms circle around your neck.

You smiled despite the discomfort, "Well every Aeon is beyond interesting. It'd be nice to meet..." You felt like you were choking, "another one. Obviously, I don't imagine anything beyond meeting them," You admitted feeling your insecurity well up.

Aha laughed wildly and for once you felt on edge around them. You had been acting rather foolishly recently, trusting an Aeon especially one with such chaotic goals, you should be more wary.

"You want to see an Aeon's true form?" Aha asked you, and you could feel their breath on your ear.

Interesting if this was a body they made then they'd gotten the heat aspect down completely, from the warmth of their body to the heat of their breath. You wondered if at any point Aha had been a human. Tayzzyronth had been the last of its species. Nanook was suspected to have come from a planet riddled with destruction and upon seeing the destruction of the aftermath of Tayzzyronth and the Mechanical Empire rose to Aeonhood. But how did the majority of the Aeons start? What were they? Who was Aha before they were an Aeon?

"Wait," You froze finally registering Aha's question, "I... could see an Aeon's true form?" Your heart beat as fast as a humming bird.

"Do you want to? I think it'll be fun," Aha asked again, you could feel their abdomen shake against you and you realized how poorly this could go depending on what Aha found most entertaining.

You could see an Aeon which wouldn't care for you or even glance at you, like Nous. Or Aha may somehow know where Nanook is, and teleport you to that Aeon and... you'd seen what happened to the trailblazer when they met Nanook in the simulated universe. The trailblazer had been immediately killed. That being said Aha didn't really need your consent and you had an inkling that if you said no, you'd meet an Aeon's true form anyway. Plus, it's not like you weren't curious.

"Of course I do." You barely finished speaking before you felt a sudden amount of joy fill you, ecstasy flooded your senses, and your lips opened by themselves letting laughter escape them. The sudden amount of power distracted you from your inability to breathe.

You were in space. Yet you still felt warm, you felt unbearably happy, and you saw Aha in their human form behind you. They laughed at your expression, "My reveal should be the last!" They chattered on excitedly, "But you wouldn't really be able to be here without any help. So I lended a helping hand!" Their eyes were wide with joy and you felt the urge to pat their head.

So you did. "Thank you." They stared at you a bit stunned for a moment, cheeks with a bit more color than usual despite being in space, but you thought nothing of it as they grabbed onto your shoulders and turned you around.

"Look!" Their voice was quiet and strained, you could hear the smile in their voice.

But all of the warmth you felt quickly disappeared as you stared at the Aeon in front of you. Purple swirls and a black mysterious mass stared back at you for a brief moment. You looked into the abyss and the abyss looked back.

To an extent you'd always known that the world would eventually become nothing. That everything you worked toward, no matter how long it benefitted humanity, would eventually disappear with humanity itself. That the planets themselves would fall apart inevitably being swallowed by blackholes which would become nothing themselves. That one day even the fundamental parts of the universe would cease to exist.

That the nothingness you couldn't comprehend would one day be all there is.

You couldn't even sob. The fear that had existed in your body initially had turned into numbness, not numbness it turned into nothingness. You weren't afraid. You weren't anything. It was just

There was something holding you back. A faint warmth coming from your hand, which you found unable to move. You were stuck to something. Aha! You let yourself laugh, your mouth didn't move nor did any sound come out. It didn't feel as if you had a mouth or any form of a body but you did.

You knew one day everything you did would amount to nothing. That's why everything you did wasn't focused on the future. It was enough to enjoy the moment, and tomorrow. You'd had the opportunity to meet such a wonderful Aeon after all. You stared at the black and purple cosmos in front of you, the eyes on it no longer glancing your way. You no longer felt enthralled with joy or burdened with despair but rather, you felt like you.

Your life was insignificant in the grand scheme of things. That was exactly why you could enjoy in the beauty of what was insignificant. Of the flowers in Spring, of the creations in the simulated universe, of the people around you.

"How beautiful," Your voice came out soft as you gazed upon the lonely being. You smiled feeling a fire rise within you. No wonder there was a whole faction dedicated to making such a magnificent creature see the purpose in existing.

Aha laughed, "I'm surprised you didn't fall to nihility! Three cheers for Y/N!" The glue between your hand and theirs seemed to have faded away, as they brought their hands up to clap and cheer out your name.

"I don't know, you sound a bit disappointed," You watched IX disappear from your sight wistfully and then turned to Aha with a smile resting on your face.

Aha held a hand to their chest in offense as they gasped, "I am! You're so mean! Acting like IX is that interesting when we both know I'm ten times more cool!"

You flicked their forehead, "Let's head back to Herta's space station now." Aha laughed, finding amusement in the smallest of actions and the two of you returned.

You managed to find your way back to the topic of IX again. Aha, being an Aeon, had never felt the nothingness from IX and had asked you to describe it.

You went into as much detail as you could and then spoke in a serious tone, "I'm surprised I made it. I knew everything does eventually become nothing, and I knew it isn't nothing right now. I knew that it's less about the meaning of our existence and life and more about the meaning of every day. But the sensation of becoming nothing is... indescribable."

You paused trying to analyze the feeling you'd come across, "For a creature that doesn't know much or one whose only purpose is to live seeing the Nihility would be fatal. But humans... are beyond that. We still live but there are things we treasure above living and even the future of the whole universe." Your Aeon merch being one of them, "Even if one day those things were to disappear with everything else, it's enough for us to have had them in our lifetime. Maybe to an extent a permanent short sightedness is needed."

What you'd experience who can never be explained by any words, the absolute dread and despair. No matter how hard you tried to describe the sensation of nothingness to Aha you couldn't find the words. But you knew now how feeling nothing was worse than even feeling pain. Because from experiencing pain the pleasure and joy you later experienced became more defined and recognizable. You can only rise as high as the lowest you fall.

The good makes the bad worse and the bad makes the good better. They work in tandem. Even if the end result was nothingness for all of the time in between you still wanted to feel and you couldn't get rid of that innate want. Still your whole body trembled as you felt a smile rise to your face-- IX-- IX was just way too cool!

You turned to Aha, grabbing them and hugging them, "Aha! Thank you so much!" You grinned, you didn't want to tell them that their hand had been what brought you out of IX's trance, you wanted to keep that knowledge to yourself, "This may be the best day of my life yet!"

IX was a being withholding so much pain and despair, a creature just waiting for the end. But there was so much more than just the end. When reading a story, sometimes you know the two main characters will die that doesn't mean it isn't worth reading. And of course you wanted to show IX all there was.

Aha looked at you for a moment, face blank and speechless before hugging you back and erupting into laughter. You twirled the Aeon's human form around before letting go and began to ponder.

"Now I wonder... would it be possible for IX to take a human form?"

It would be difficult to bring the Aeon the beauties and wonders of life, as well as the pains considering they were just floating in the sky. It'd be easier if you could bring the Aeon around, but even if they did have a human form you weren't sure you'd be able to drag them around anyway. Even after surviving the encounter you got the feeling your emotions and will to live would numb around them if you spent a long time with them. You'd just have to get stronger first!

Okay writing the emotions IX gives you is a toughie DAMN don't know how I'm going to make the romance work out but I'm sure future me will work something out

I love you future me!!! :) <333 can't wait to romance IX show me what u got!!!

also when i wrote this line "When reading a story, sometimes you know the two main characters will die that doesn't mean it isn't worth reading." i went into one story knowing the two characters both died at the end by driving off a cliff and i still cried despite rarely crying, it was only 6 chapters and one of the best webcomics i've ever read to this day. so fucking worth it

i dont fucking know what powers Aeons have but i'm pretty sure super speed and shit is one of them cause in SU Qlipoth just like appeared at the beginning cus they thought Trailblazer was Akivili and if that creature can like teleport or do super speed fuck it everyone can.

Imagine a Ranma 1/2 situation where Adam turns into a woman when he gets cold water thrown at him. Though he gets it as punishment for being sexist.

When he’s a woman Adam would still walk around topless and Lucifer would try hard not to stare.

THAT'D BE SO FUN AHAHA

But also!!!! This gave me an idea of, what if he had the Ranma 1/2 thing going on, but he turned into a sinner instead???

Wouldn't it be so fun?? Wouldn't that create SO MUCH drama? Maybe it's not even cold water either, maybe he turns into a sinner some other way that he can't change as easily.

He turns into a sinner, waking up in Hell, and has to adapt to life in it (obviously it's not easy) only to go back to Heaven as an angel the next day or something like that. This leads to Adam living a double life and, obviously, nobody can know that it's him! He has to be undercover and find out why it's happening to him!

...... and if an interesting relationship develops with the Hazbin Hotel crew (and one infuriating short guy as well~) then...... Who knows what can happen!

Whenever I go searching for Pokemon and TWST fics on ao3, I always end up circling back to finding Azul fics on Tumblr

Scammer octopus has my heart in a chokehold

Maybe I just want to have a battle with Azul. Torch his team with a Raichu. Appear out of nowhere with a Venusaur and wring him upside down

What then

Azul is a really good character to put in situations. Any time I hear the word benevolence I make this same Jade face:

Ahaha yes I know something about benevolence myself. No this isn't about dragon age why would you say that.

Gym leader! Azul would be a good idea on paper but maybe not in theory because he doesn't like losing. It's horrible for his ego... but it would be really good for his business if he could find a way to not get mocked ruthlessly by the twins. His pride could not handle being hoisted upside down by a grass type while some poor unfortunate soul calls the shots.... But the money he would make from merch sales would be crazy.

Evil team leader! Azul though... who is trying to capture a legendary pokemon x new trainer Yuu who has to stop him. Oh that'd be a fun concept.

SSR Leona Kingscholar - Bloom Birthday Vignette

"Happy Birthday"

[Savanaclaw Dorm – Birthday Party Venue]

Leona: Sigh, these interviews are a pain… Crazy how they can keep doing this year after year without gettin' bored of it.

Leona: So then, I wonder who's my presenter this year…

???: Ay, I made it. Excuse me!

Cater: Heya, Leona-kun. Happy Birthday!

Leona: Tch, and in walks in one of the loud ones.

Cater: EH, DID YOU JUST CLICK YOUR TONGUE!? C'mon, it's your birthday, you gotta try to have a bit of fun ♪

Cater: Today, I'm planning on asking you every little thing to learn everything about you, Leona-kun, so be prepared～

Leona: Well, aren't you real chipper. Alright, I'm fully expecting you to make this the best birthday ever, then.

Cater: U-Uh, you might be putting a little too much pressure on me there? But okay, let me just restart, and… Let's dive into the first question!

Cater: “If you could use flight magic to go anywhere, where would you like to go?”

Cater: And, it doesn't look like you have to worry about the amount of magic you'd have to use.

Leona: So, anywhere I want, huh… Then, I want to go to a full-service hotel and spend my time lounging about.

Cater: Ooh, so you want to just enjoy a resort to the max. That sounds great, and I bet you'd be able to take a ton of awesome pics ♪

Leona: Yeah, I'm not planning on going to any of the noisy places you're probably thinking of.

Leona: Since I'm going to be using flight magic to get there anyway, I'd rather find a remote place that normal people wouldn't really be able to get to.

Cater: But if it's a remote location… Then You can't really enjoy any sightseeing or recreational activities.

Leona: I told you, I wanted to just lounge about. If I were to run around like that, it completely defeats the purpose.

Cater: So, basically…. You're wanting to "do nothing," right?

Leona: Yeah, that's the best way to live in luxury, don't you think?

Leona: Food is prepared when I'm hungry, and the bath is ready for whenever I feel like taking one.

Leona: And there, in that quiet and comfortable environment, I can sleep peacefully without being bothered by anyone else

Cater: Not being bothered and in a quiet place, huh. Yeah, I guess that's not a bad way to go about it.

Leona: Right? As Dorm Leader and as Captain of the Magift team, there's a ton of things I have to constantly worry about, you know.

Leona: Basically, that just means that I also need some time off to rest my mind and body once in a while.

Cater: Ahaha. I bet I know a few people who'd be cross hearing you say that… But hey, I guess I get how you feel, Leona-kun.

Cater: Alllright, now that I got to hear a lot about that, I'll move on to the next question ♪

[Savanaclaw Dorm – Birthday Party Venue]

Cater: 'Kay, second question!

Cater: "What is your best class?"

Cater: Now here's a super interesting question!

Leona: Huh? How.

Cater: Yeah, because you're real smart. So I def wanna know what class you like best～

Leona: So, you think I'm smart, huh. I guess I'll go ahead and take that as a compliment.

Cater: Well, obviously it's a compliment! I have a hard time getting most of my classes, so I'm a bit jelly. Is there some trick to it?

Leona: I've had private tutors ever since I was a child. Obviously, the curriculum also contained classes that wouldn't be found in this school, too.

Cater: Uh… which means?

Leona: All the stuff that they teach here at this school, I learned way before enrolling.

Leona: Basically, everything I know isn't from just sitting behind a desk and studying like crazy, like your little Dorm Leader.

Cater: I see～ So you're saying that the stuff we learn in class are basically second nature to you, huh.

Cater: Okay, then, let me change the wording up a little bit… What's your favorite class?

Leona: My favorite class, hm… If I had to choose one, that'd be Ancient Incantations. That one is at least not as boring as the other classes.

Cater: Woah, Ancient Incantations, huh～ That's the one where you try to decipher old languages that aren't even used anymore, right?

Cater: And there's still a ton of languages that haven't been deciphered yet, either, right?

Leona: Yeah. And many of those languages were made to conceal magic spells in the first place. So they were already created to be complex.

Leona: That's why even subject matter experts also have a hard time combing through them.

Leona: Even just trying to read the individual letters is a chore. And even if you can figure those out, there's no point unless you can actually understand the words and sentences.

Leona: It has to be carefully analyzed by comparing the new content to old words that have already been translated, or rules that have already been pre-established.

Cater: I already have trouble with just what's in our textbooks, so I can't even imagine trying to figure out even more difficult things like those languages…

Cater: What can someone do to get better at ancient incantations?

Leona: It's just that I already was interested in that type of thing. I guess the thing that dragged me into it was this inscription I found in the Sunset Savanna.

Leona: There was this very long engraving in some old language…

Leona: The first time I looked at it, I had no idea what it was supposed to say, but then I started to translate it in my spare time, and…

Cater: AND? WH-WHAT DID IT SAY? SOME KIND OF ROYAL SECRET THAT NO ONE KNOWS!?

Leona: It was just the country's history. On top of that, basically it was stuff already in the textbooks.

Cater: Ehhh, you got my hopes up, and that was it? That was kinda anticlimactic.

Leona: Yeah, it's basically a boring story once you get into it… But it wasn't too terrible learning how to decipher it.

[Savanaclaw Dorm – Birthday Party Venue]

Cater: Last question! Here we go.

Cater: “What would you like to do in the coming year?”

Leona: Not to repeat a year, that's all.

Cater: Wh…! EH, THAT'S IT!?

Leona: Isn't that important enough?

Cater: I mean, yeah, but～! You gotta have something else you wanna do too.

Cater: Like, surpassing 1,000 followers on Magicam, or winning a Magift tournament…

Leona: Okay, then that.

Cater: Eh, what do you mean by "that"?

Leona: The whole, "winning a Magift tournament" thing.

Leona: I want to draw out the magical shift team's full potential and win at the national championships― That's closer to the answer you were looking for, right?

Cater: Now you're making me feel like I forced you to say that～ …Well, I guess that's better than not getting an answer.

Cater: Okay, then, I got a question for you, since you're captain of the team! Do you ever coach the younger students?

Leona: Yeah, of course. For example…

Leona: There's some guys who'll slack off during games because they don't have enough stamina and they want to conserve energy.

Leona: It'll be detrimental to have people not give their all during important games. So, to help build stamina, during passing practice…

Leona: I would send the disc flying long so they'd have to run from one end of the pitch to the other.

Cater: Woah, that's so tough! If you're that hard on them, won't you have students drop out…?

Leona: That's also part of it.

Cater: Eh, what do you mean?

Leona: We don't need anyone who takes off and runs like a coward just because their pride and confidence is torn down.

Leona: They should get angry when defeated and vow to do anything to get revenge―

Leona: The Magift club doesn't need anyone who lacks that kind of determination.

Leona: Only the guys who are fully prepared to overcome anything can get a starting spot on the team.

Cater: W-Wow… You're really sounding like a team captain, Leona-kun!

Cater: But I guess it's a little surprising to hear that you take care of your teammates like that. Maybe you're actually a softie inside?

Leona: Hah? No way.

Leona: I'm just doing the bare minimum as the leader of the pack.

Leona: I'd rather be spared being held back by someone who's just completely useless.

Cater: Interview completed～! Next is… Ta-da! Here we are, take this broom and go fly on the Birthday Road.

Leona: Sheesh, that's a fancy lookin' broom.

Cater: Yeah, it's pretty showy, but it's also pretty dignified, so I think it's perfect for you, Leona-kun ♪

Cater: Okay so, go and show them all how it's done. I'll make sure to take pictures of you flying out there!

Leona: I'm only saying this one, but don't do anything I haven't asked you to… I got no intention of being on display for you.

Leona: Aah, finally, it's quiet. I guess I'll go out and enjoy a leisurely stroll in the sky all by myself, then.

Yes, and it was teen wolf, and honestly not one of my best. it was a hatchet job, they took random paragraphs and spliced it / wrote around it? someone flagged it to me in a comment, and it was taken down. all in all, a very weird experience.

12 - Have you ever had a fic translated?

No, but gosh, that'd be cool! <- stealing from lexi, agreed, would be awesome <3

13 - Have you ever co-written a fic before?

YES. It was FUN. It was a series of conversations between an estranged father and son, Colm and Milo Greer, with the incredibly talented @frenchiefitzhere (also tagging you for this meme!!). it's still one of my favourite things: An Honest Man Like Yourself

14 - What's your all time favorite ship?

ALL TIME FAVOURITE? How dare you. I love all my ships afjkdsfg Shakarian is pretty high up there. Kastle (karen page/ frank castle). All the werewolves from redacted. <3

15 - What's a WIP that you want to finish, but doubt you ever will?

ahhhh. okay. 'wander. wonder.' my poly longfic. don't hate me, but honestly, I've just not got the space for a longfic at the moment. never say never, but I've caught up with the chapters I had worked up, everything else is a vague outline. <3

16 - What are your writing strengths?

oof. I want to say character. most of the fun for me when writing is getting inside a characters head and figuring out their voice >:3

17 - What are your writing weaknesses?

Structuring longer, multi-chaptered stories - basically figuring out the pacing of it. I'm working on an original project, and I love it, but the first series of major edits will be breaking up my alternating POV sections into proper chapter breaks and letting myself linger more in moments instead of pushing forward (habits of a oneshot writer fdsds)

18 - Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?

I've been meaning to have my estonian friend critique my estonian, but I'm pretty positive the 'bond' I referred to is actually the money kind, and not the emotional attachment I'd been hoping to refer to hfjdkssfdg. I do as much research as I can, but it's best to run it past someone who speaks the language!

19 - First fandom you wrote for?

hehehehe naruto. yep. I was a naruto kid. first posted online in 2007......

20 - Favorite fic you've written?

WHAT A QUESTION. honestly, I love what I have been writing the last three years. I've really let myself just write what I want to read, and it's been great. i'm going to cheat, and say the original project I'm working on that I won't let anyone see heheheh. <3 it's got werewolves, kink and explicit consent, and spun out a whole verse for me to play with (and a fun MMF sidestory that I also need to finish...)

gods this got LONG. Thank you for making it this far!! <3

Bad Guys Collab Interview

Ikemen Bakumatsu Takechi x

Ikemen Villains Liam

I do not own any of the Ikemen Series content being uploaded on this blog, everything belongs to CYBIRD. Please support them by downloading and playing their games.

read this before interacting with my posts

① What do you think about your own personality?

Takechi: I have high morals, I'm an honest man who doesn't know how to lie. Ahaha, why are you giving me that suspicious look?

Liam: My personality? If I were given two options, one right and one wrong, I'm the type of guy who would always pick the wrong... I guess.

② How would you react if your lover betrayed you?

Takechi: Whut. Let me see... I'd let that kid decide how she wants to make it up to me. That'd be fun.

Liam: First of all, I'm going to trap her in my arms. After that, I'll make love to her so much that she'll never think about leaving me again, both emotionally and physically. That would make us get back together, right?

③ What are some bad deeds you're going to do in the future?

Takechi: I'm going to put an end to this foolish interview. ... Does that count as a bad deed?

Liam: I'm going to do whatever the people around me want me to. I don't care how bloody or dirty it will be. Doesn't the thought of that excite you?

DP x WC fics are underrated (imo)

I don't know about you, but I feel like we're severely lacking in Danny Phantom x White Collar stuff. I mean, I haven't seen either myself but I've read an abundance of fics to where I get the general idea. And I've already devoured all the DP x WC fics out there and they're cool, and we're missing out. Like. There is the existence of a Danny Brooks being one of Neal's aliases. Well it's more his name in WITSEC (in which I think the explanation was that they gave you new identities to protect you. because its.. well, witness protection) Which could so easily become his real name, or the potential that Neal was put for, well, adoption (it could've also just been foster care, dont ask why, but his mom died and while the fentons weren't immediately up for adopting, jazz was stubborn and adored him. or maybe he just ran away and jazz found him and convinced the fentons to take him in? there is a variety of backstories that could happen, and it could even just be that neal does not exist and its just a cover name, for whatever reason. whether hiding from the GiWs or not, who knows. and that logically Danny values freedom so he'd never let himself get caught, unless he did, and technically can travel with like the ring thing as, oOooO, ghoST KiNG. idfk. ) regardless. honestly this just started because i found this cool fic where neals a danny clone (in which i really kind of just want them, like the agents to notice the weird behavior, being super sus, fucking vlad, yknow, brr. but itd probably be shit for me to write it cause i am not a danny phantom watcher ahaha? i was sucked into the world of DP x DC against my will and then found i actually enjoyed it, which is the case for most new fandoms i discover...?) although i understand its kind of just.. weird to bring in this superpower thing into universes, but i mean i adore crossovers. ..unless its like a huge amount in which 'how the fuck am i meant to read that' so im just talking about like.. just two fandoms. not counting like the other fandom tags like.. cause theres multiple tags for the different book series for pjo. like.. PJO, HoO, TOA, despite the fact that they're in the same universe. That'd technically count as the same fandom, also considering theres usually a tag thats like 'PJO - all media types' anyway. um. yeah. have a fun day.

For the asks : Northwest Passage and/or captain please ?

- @strogoff-era

Northwest Passage: GOODSIR!! My best friend Goodsir... Honestly I love all the doctors.. I do I do.. except Peddie (sorry babe). But Goodsir was my favourite character HANDS DOWN first time I watched the show, abso-lutely and he still sits up there in my favourite character tier list (note: every character is on the same tier bc I love all of them sm). Im such a sucker for doctor characters, I'm serious. And characters that are hopeful and optimistic and GOOD hearted. Idk why I gravitate towards those characters so much but it's definitely what happened here. Also, I really value platonic friendships in media and I love Goodsir and Silna for that (I know some ppl ship them, that'd totally fine!! I just see em more as siblings ♥️) Literally I have watched the show maybeee.. 9 times now? And every. Time. Silna comes across his body, I am a sobbing mess (my friends can testify). His death scene is so fucking heartbreaking dude don't even talk to me about it. I can't!!

Captain: I think I posted my answer on a discord server a while ago which sums up my thoughts on my favourite cold boy, which is Hickey? Though to be honest, please remember that I love all the cold boys so much .. it's genuinely IMPOSSIBLE for me to pick one but I guess I think about Hickey the most ahaha. So I'll post it here just be warned I wrote a lot. I was, in a mood that day I guess. Also everyone might disagree with my interpretation of Hickey, but, yeah. Sorry ig!

Putting aside the INCREDIBLE acting from Nagaitis, I just find Hickey SO INTERESTING to explore. He is a character you simply can *not pin down*. You never truly know what he's thinking. He can be cruel one moment, loving and tender the next, absolutely unnerving the other, insane, and then sympathetic? (get you a man that has it all?).

Like I think it's easy to pin Hickey down as a insane murderer with no feelings and NO compassion but we just see that isn't true and THAT is probalby at the heart of why I love his character so much. He has layers. He's not just one thing, he's not confined to a box, and he is incredibly hard to read and that makes it really fun! It's so fucking fun watching the show the second time and seeing him in a TOTALLY different light!

I think the entire mystery surrounding his real name and who he really is helps a lot because it leaves SO much room for speculation, like- I really lkove thinking about who he was before the expedition and stuff! Nagaitis said he read a lot of Jean Genet for his character, nI agree! The way he thinks as a character is just endlessly interesting to me. Like, there's that quote from Terror Camp that drives me up the wall: How Crozier is his great test, his soulmate, his friend--a person that has been put into Hickey's world to 'test' him, for Hickey to 'overcome', and additionally, how he thinks of himself in the world is so fascinating. Like he doesn't believe he had parents. he just thinks he appeared one day. Like that is just so fucking crazy I love it. He's just so easy and fun to hate too especially by the end. Like omfg first couple watches I fucking hated him sm. I still cheer when Tuunbaq eats him 🥳🫶

I think it's just the layers of his character that really intrigue me and make him my favourite, because I can just watch any one of his scenes and just be constantly fascinated by what he might be thinking, why he says that, why he did this and that. I also think that, despite his cruelty, he does actually have a heart. Like, I posted some art on Tumblr the other day with a quote referencing how its impossible for him to connect--and that's true I think, *at the end*. I think at the start of the show Hickey's character, despite being very mischevious, a thief, and an anarchist, actually has a rather hopeful trajectory.

So there's that, it's funny bc I find Hickey incredibly creepy post episode 7. Like to the point I had to stop watching on my first watch after he killed Irving bc it freaked me out so much lolol. But that's part of why he's just a very interesting character to me and I love Nagaitis' acting as well. I'm gonna stop b4 I clog up more.

Thanks for the ask! ♥️🫶✨

How Vinnie’s friend would react to him falling and just laying there.

Pepper: "HA, Vinnie, you're really taking this 'laying down on the job' thing to a whole new level! Need a pillow and a remote control?"*laughing* wait, wait Hey, Vinnie, did you just discover a new yoga pose, or are you auditioning for a role in a slapstick comedy? Either way, you've got my attention! Okay, Vinnie, this is starting to look less like slapstick and more like drama. *Walks up to Vinnie a gently kicks him with her foot* “Just making sure you're still with us. Whew, I see you breathing. Scared me for a second there dude!”

Penny: Vinnie, are you okay? Oh my gosh, why are you just lying there? *runs over and hugs his head tears welling up* Please be okay, please!"*pauses, hearing Vinnie's mumble* "Wait, did you just say something? Oh thank goodness, you're okay!! Don't scare me like that again, Vinnie!" *starts crying instant tears of joy*

Russell: *observes Vinnie for a moment before walking over* "Hey, Vinnie, you good? That was quite a tumble. Need a hand up?" * Vinnie mumbles* *Russell noticing Vinnie is breathing and appears unharmed, he sits down beside him* "Alright, you're still kickin'. I'll just keep you company then." *he pulls out his book and starts reading, occasionally glancing over at Vinnie and patting his back.*

Sunil: "Vinnie! Hey, are you alright?!" *not getting a response, Sunil starts to panic* "Vinnie! Answer me, man! Don't mess around like this!" *he rushes over, frantically calling out Vinnie's name pulls Vinnie up, relieved to see he's okay* "Phew, thank goodness you're alright!" *he gives Vinnie a tight hug, then dusts him off * "Let's get you back inside, buddy. No more scares like that, okay?" *Sunil helps Vinnie back indoors, keeping a watchful eye on him.*

Zoe: Darling, are you alright? Oh, come on now, we can't have you laying there. If you don't get up, you'll get all dirty, *approaches Vinnie, noticing he's breathing and seemingly okay* "Well, you seem to be in one piece. Let's make sure you stay cozy then." *she gently drapes a blanket over him, ensuring he's comfortable* "There, that should keep you warm while you're enjoying your little rest..."

Minka: Hey, Vinnie, you good?" *not getting a response, she gets playful* "Come on, sleepyhead, time to wake up! Vinnie! Vinnie! Vinnie!" *she starts jumping around him, calling his name in a sing-song voice, trying to rouse him. noticing Vinnie still isn't responding, she gets a bit more assertive* "Alright, buddy, time to wake up!" *she pulls his hair to lift his head* "Oh good, you're not dead! Let's play something fun to get you back on your feet!”

-Ok so here is the first one thank you again for the ideas this is fun - let me know how I did! - 🎉

Damn, he didn't die :( just kidding ahaha... ha... blood!

So anyway. I would answer in my regular way, replying with Vinnie, but let me tell you right here pretty much all of his replies would be something along the lines of pained mumbling "Mhm, yeah... I'm okay, I think I passed out for a second. Maybe?"

So down we go, I love Pepper's gradual panic, cause og that happened planty of times, he's gonna get up soon 😀... 😐... 😨! "Oh shit!" but naaah, he's goood. Maybe just hit his head just enough that his brain connections have fundamentally changed and he now becomes super smart so I can finally have that episode I dream about :)

Now Penny is the only ractional here let me tell you, panicking that he's nottt good, that'd be me, cause how dare he die in such an unepic way :/

Okay, but the way I imagine it for some reason is that it's all going on in the park each time, so Russell basically just sat down and just started reading on the pavement xD. I get that this is not how you imagined it, but I just can't stop myself from thinking about it like that

See, now they're outdoors. Okay actually maybe Sunil is rational too. Just takes him home and cares for him *pat pat*. "If you die on me I will kill you, Vinnie."

Aaaand now they're not, I mean I don't think Zoe would just leave him like that if they were in the park or something, plus where would she get that blanket? Exactly. Unless we're thinking about her botomless purse. Ah, yes, he's enjoying his "rest" that is lying there in some amount of pain xD. Nah, that's just my interpretation again.

Broo nah, "Oh good, you're not dead" implies that Minka thought he might at least be dead so she was just kinda jumping around the corpse wanting it to play with her 😭. My man just clearly suffered something and she wants him to just get up like that, naaaah.

Oh damn that's the first one you send me of those? Damn, I hold onto this one, haven't I? Anyway, feel free to injure him again, more or less anyway ^^

Fun fact, I used to be deathly afraid of ducks as a kid. For some reason, I thought they would ambush our house and eat my entire family alive ahaha

That'd be a really cute date idea, though!!

[nonuggetshere]

Ahaha mb, but even then, at this point, I feel that they gained the terrible naming skills from someone… staring at PK naming his kid Hollow at first

DJDBDJDF THAT'D BE. SO BAD. AND IRONIC

But fun fact, they originally wanted to name them Hallow, and after they make up Flower does take that on as a second name :]

[kingofthewilderwest]

If the rumour that Dean Deblois is returning to direct a remake of HTTYD is true, I hope this time it's a more faithful adaptation of the books!

[Edit: I notice you didn't mention live action in your message at all. This is what I get for answering an ask on a fever. Apologies!]

I hear this every time conversation of live actions returns to the HTTYD fandom. XD And so I'll say my hill I'll live on again, ahaha, if that's alright with you. To be honest and with all kindness, I think a live action would be an extremely poor match for the whimsical charm of the books. If the books were to be adapted faithfully, they'd require the opposite: the levity of good 2D animation style! ^.^

I wouldn't want to see a Toothless visually limited by the bounds realism or semi-realism... but a highly expressive, emotive Toothless whose obnoxiousness and voice can be best transmitted to us through the zany, colorful, flashy, fast, and limitless world of animation. He works better as an animated, cartoonish creature, as even Cowell's art illustrates. Wouldn't a Toothless limited by the slower, sloggier bounds of a live action be dull and not up to par with the imagination? Wouldn't it be so much more fun and charming to see the Hairy Hooligans with wild beards and all the colors of the world and bright animation of every wacky dragon you could think of?

Cowell's writing is like a child's sketchbook, uninhibited and ridiculously creative and unrealistic and free. It deserves a style to match.

I understand wanting a faithful adaptation of the books because I think a cute 2D animated short TV series could be a fantastic way to do them and I'd enjoy it, but personally, if someone said "live action HTTYD movie remake of the books," I'd be heavily worried and know it would turn out bad. It's a mismatch of styles. The live action would drag everything down. The reason the movies changed plot in the first place was trying to adapt the story to a new medium, the Hollywood movie, and I respect them for that.

In the end, anything vaguely touching DreamWorks Land is going to care about capitalizing on DreamWorks's success. Its 2010 animated movie obviously started one of its most successful franchises ever. It's proven screen success and that's all a big corporation backing it will care about. They're going to adapt that because that's where the brand, the money, the public knowledge, and the audience is. At this point, you'd have to get an entirely separate creative team entirely separate from DreamWorks starting from the ground up to expect something more books-related. And frankly, probably something from smallish organizations, too, since adapting closer to the HTTYD books would now be more of a "niche" project.

I know the books fandom wants that adaptation bad because people keep saying this over and over, but I vote that instead of people desperately raising live action to the table (because eveeeerrrything has a live action now), lean into the heart of what the books convey, and want an adaptation that'd do it proper.

As far as information about DeBois returning, it's in news sources like the Hollywood Reporter:

Taking a massive swing, Universal Pictures has put in motion a How to Train Your Dragon live-action movie, with Dean DeBlois, the filmmaker behind the original animated trilogy, back in the saddle as writer, director and producer. The feature project is already steps into the development process. Universal has dated the feature for a March 14, 2025 release. And sources also say the casting process is already underway. This new Dragon will adapt the trilogy of movies that were made by DreamWorks Animation and released in the 2010s to great acclaim. One of the creative challenges facing the filmmakers is trying to find the balance of making the dragons appealing and friendly, like some were in the original movie, and realistic.

John Powell has posted about it on Instagram:

(screencap: my own)

It's interesting to note DeBlois's comments on live actions over the years. For instance, from February of 2019:

There have been a few directors who are known for animation moving across into live action recently, like Brad Bird and Travis Knight. Is that something you’d want to do? It definitely is. I’ve wanted to add live action to the toolbox for a long time. Between Lilo & Stitch [DeBlois co-wrote and directed that film with Sanders] and How to Train Your Dragon, I spent about seven years setting up live-action projects to write and direct. And each one kind of hit the rocks. But it has kind of left this open ambition to try it again. I don’t know if it’s the next project that I’ll do – I haven’t actually made any decisions about what’s next. But I do hope that there’s an opportunity in the future to do something in live action that that appeals to my sensibilities and where I could apply the skills I’ve developed in animation.

But yet he also said:

There has also been a recent trend of remaking classic animated movies into live-action films – even Lilo & Stitch has been mooted for the remake treatment. What’s your take on that? I find it off-putting, to be honest. In one sense, I think it’s easy because all of the hard work of finding the story and honing it has been done – so now you get to take a movie that’s been a success and just make it in a different medium. But more than that, I feel that the live-action adaptations negate the animated ones in some way; as if to say that they are better than the original. You know, “let us improve upon your flawed medium.” So as somebody who loves animation, I think it loses the charm.  Maybe it appeals to a wider audience – and they certainly do well. So I am probably in the minority. But especially for a film like Lilo & Stitch, which was such a singular, quirky vision – we were basically a group of people trying to make Chris Sanders’ idea for a storybook come to life. And it’s so personal; it’s not an age-old fairytale or a known legend. It’s such a specific story. So to remake it, particularly with a new group of people that weren’t part of that original team… Yeah, that seems like an odd one to me.

So. I'm not 100% sure what to make of what he said then in light of what we're hearing now. But yeah. I'm sure you've seen some of the info, but in case you or others haven't, that's where this is coming from.

3, 8, and 9 for the fanfic ask game?

from this ask game

3: What’s a fic idea that you have but haven’t written yet?

I have a FFXIV au where G'raha Tia is the Warrior of Light somehow, and admittedly I'm not sure how well that'd work considering -gestures at Shadowbringers and Crystal Exarch- but it would be SO FUN I can just tell

8: What kind of document do you use to you write? Microsoft Word? Google Docs? Straight in the AO3 text box?

Okay so this one I've mentioned a few times in tags and such, but I don't actually use a proper word processor to write in! The program I use is Obsidian.md, which is a note-taking app, and it's been super helpful. Being able to have various different documents open at once makes referencing things easier, and the variety of themes available means I get to pick and choose which theme to use (I'm using the Shiba theme, incidentally, but I might change it to a different one so long as the new one has custom background options available. We'll see on that one). The only downside is that since it's on my local drive (or whatever drive you store your files on, mine is on my USB), it can only be used on my laptop since I've not downloaded the Obsidian app and I'm not willing to pay to be able to sync files, ahaha. But the free version has pretty much everything but sync and publishing of sites available, so you can use it for note-taking or writing or such very easily.

In conclusion, try Obsidian out today.

9: What’s your favorite line(s) or scene(s) that you have written?

Oh this is a question. Being honest, I'm not entirely sure if it's my favorite, but I do really like this one scene from Taking Notes and Munching Pastries --

"Well, most people in class are cowards," you declare, "who might deserve a good pounding now and then to know how good they’ve got it for not having to fight all the time." Niko snorts. "Don’t let them hear you say that," he warns, though his lips curl into a smile at the end and his eyes are doing a horrible job of hiding amusement, "they might take offense and try to hit you." "Let ‘em!" you declare, leaning forwards again and then beginning to climb onto the top of your chair to stand on it. "They’re all too weak to throw a good punch or kick, and I can beat ‘em all any day!" "Rina!" Niko hisses at you, and lunges at you to keep you from climbing on top of the chair entirely. "Remember what I said about not climbing furniture in public places? We already got kicked out of the cafe closer to your apartment, we don’t need to get kicked out of here too." "Fine." You huff, and sit back down into your chair ‘properly’, though you lift one leg onto the arm of the chair so that a foot is hanging off of the side. "But still!"

It was written all the way back in 2020 and is one of my first fics, and was definitely one of the first I wrote in second person POV, which is now my preferred POV to write in. I've a soft spot for it still, aha. It's been a while since I wrote anything Digimon-related -- I should go properly watch those Re:Digitize Decode playthroughs that are up on YouTube, now that the fantranslation has been out and such, so I can properly know the game's story and characters, as opposed to the word-of-mouth and scouring-the-wikis method I had to use back then.

I think my friend @aikotters was there when I finished the fic, ha -- funny to think we've been friends for so long (even if we've mostly moved into different fandoms, but hey, friendship outlasts fandoms if it's a good friendship, right?)

(Speaking of which, thanks for all the encouragement aiko, whenever I finish the next Miracles Verse fic I'll gift it to you)
