HEADCANON QUESTION: what nickname would Ollie have for Aiyon? (and don’t say honeymuffin—)

Honestly, I can totally see Ollie as one of those partners that changes out the nicknames he uses to give Aiyon something to discover on this new world he lives on where he never gets bored. Like, can you imagine having a boyfriend from another planet that is astonished by everything? Can you imagine Ollie, an intellectual, NOT taking advantage of that? I think he'd start off small, calling Aiyon things like Buttercup, Dandelion, Labradoodle, Holly Hobbie, Roanoke, and Bumblebee. Then as Aiyon got into it more and more and teased Ollie endlessly with the same nicknames of Blue-tiful and Blue-belle, Ollie would UP HIS GAME with names like Rock Hopper, Rose Gold, Goldenrod, Trolley Fair, Chandelier, El Dorado, Aurora, and--by far his favorite--Flamingo~

Other Fandoms I'm Thinking About Right Now

Murderbot Diaries

Only Murders in the Building

Avenue 5

Cookie Run: Kingdom

my original stuff but I don't know if you can follow that

I'm open to pretty much anything, but I'll let you know if you hit on a NoTP or a squick or something, or if I don't know the fandom. This list will change as I think of different things or my interests change, but you're still welcome to ask me about any of it. Or anything else I've written about. Or haven't written about.

Lately I've been writing 1-2k in response to ideas usually. I'm trying to get myself to write drabbles and flashes but it's not working so likely if you ask you'll get something fairly long.

Anyone's welcome to ask for a fic even if we've never interacted before. Both specific and general prompts are welcome, and I like writing Gen content of all kinds as well as ship content, character studies, and worldbuilding.

You're also welcome to just ask me questions about my fandoms (or my original fiction).

@idnull: “here, take my hand for a moment.” from luna!

memes, accepting

the boy’s hand was lined with neon band-aids. (ladybug red. flamingo pink. clover green. skyline blue.) courtesy of luna and her rainbow bandage supply. august grasps at her hand, fingers interlocking.

boyish laughter, buzzy like a bumblebee, floats free. “ wassup? ” he drawls. “ i believe i’ve earned a coffee for my pain and sufferin’. ” paper cuts don’t really constitute pain and suffering. he just wants some caffeine.

[rustyvolumedial3-archive]

[Color Quiz]

Snagged from @worm-of-theseus

Yellow for Volume:

daisies, road signs, bumblebees, lemon merengue, bicycles, polaroids, awnings. your essence is yellow: you are precise yet shy, putting band-aids on your cuts alone.

you demand much of yourself; your self-expression feels tempered by a mold you're intended to fill. you seek an anchor to hold and keep your doubt at bay. you are the dutiful. you are the one who rises after you fall.

you find kinship in like-minded individuals of cream, gold, honey, and chartreuse, who share your loyalty and compassion. you are also drawn to the sturdy red and brown, who will help you grow and learn to not question your own judgment. however, you may struggle to get along with the overly-involved personalities of pink and green who are unconscious of their own feelings.

Blush for Dial:

lollipops, warm cheeks, lip gloss, flowers, flamingo feathers, painted nails, heart glasses. your essence is blush: you are outspoken and protect your heart by never offering an apology.

you seize your desires; there is a particularity to your passions, and not many are privy to your reasonings. you are protective and extend your heart in a way you will never accept in return. you are the trend-setter. you are the defiant.

you find kinship in like-minded individuals of crimson, red, tawny, and coral, who share your aspirational intensity. you are also drawn to the honest souls lilac and cream, who will help you grow and realize you are not always under critique. however, you may struggle to get along with the internal personalities of sky and beige who are too self-effacing.

Sage for Rustpaw:

herb clippings, macha, bullet journals, mini backpacks, needlefelts, pistachio, laptop stickers. your essence is sage: you are introspective and retreating.

everything is organized and planned ahead; you are meticulous, stacking up a card tower you can't let fall. it is difficult for you to untwist your tongue and tell others you need them. you are the observer. you are the writer gone off alone.

you find kinship in like-minded individuals of green, forest, honeysuckle, and seafoam, who share your guarded nature. you are also drawn to the self-expressive sky and apricot, who will help you grow and embolden you to say what you need. however, you may struggle to get along with the overly-emotional personalities of rose and cream who ask you to be too vulnerable.

My Pathfinder group has a fun system where we can write out “Field Reports” after adventures to summarize the quest our character went on for extra XP (and we post them in the discord so other players who didn’t go on the quest knows what happened).

I play Rikki, a teenage Kobold who has a cat sized bumblebee companion (with a sword tied to her butt) named Flux and a large dog/ small horse sized beetle named Mr. Jitterz. She’s a Ranger/Cavalier (we use the free archetype rule) atm and will be getting more bug friends in the future :)

Anyways, for Field Reports I wanted to make little shittily drawn comics cause it’s fun. In character, Rikki wants to make accessible literature about poisonous plants / venomous creatures, eventually creating a graphic novel about the topics and getting people less scared about these creatures and finding tasty ways to incorporate poisons into more everyday life cause she’s a green dragon ancestry Kobold and likes the burning spice of poisons. She‘s currently making her field reports into a Webcomic. My friend suggested that she leaves these comics in giant spider webs and that is now EXTREMELY Cannon.

So well met adventurer. You have looted a Spider Nest and found the Smooth Shark chapter. We were tasked with finding gremlins stealing a Sea-Elf’s pet shark’s teeth. Rikki tracked the thieves to a cellar and we found a group of Tooth Fairies (a real Pathfinder enemy) and exterminated them. Apparently the go out and steal teeth to then plant/infect and hatch more Tooth Fairies.

Featured in this adventure: Brick the Half-Orc Barbarian, Mordecai the Fox-Person Gunslinger, and Elrin the Flamingo Druid.
