[you-cant-fuck-megaman]

btw isn't the canon reason for the timeline split caused by Dr. Light having sex and later raising actual flesh-and-blood children? So if you wanted to fuck Dr. Light (which you elaborated isn't possible) you'd basically cause a butterfly effect

while that's popular fanon after a funny meme post on twitter, battle network is not the only timeline where light has children

Fully Charged has IMO the coolest incarnation of Light. he's an absolute hunky bear of a man, he can throw down hand-to-hand with robots himself, he's an actually-present father figure who looks after his children. like, not just father in the metaphorical sense, as in he spawned Suna Light from his loins and so had to have had sex with a lucky-ass woman (potentially multiple times).

i'm sorry you saw me and your mom fighting, sunshine, but she's got a long way to go before she can take on the Undertaker at Wrestlemania. now let both of us get back to training, please.

there's a lot to hate about Fully Charged, but Light ain't one of them.

and then there's Dr. Emilia Right from the pachislot, whom is the actual daughter of Dr. Ligh--pardon, Dr. RIGHT, which means at some point once again, Lright got down with someone and had a lot of fun with them.

Emilia Right owns, she found a busted robot and her first priority was to make her look cute again and then to make her combat ready after that. she's got a red hair like a squirrel and put gadgets into her clothes just for the #aesthetic, potentially implying that Light went best-of-5 at EVO with Street Fighter's C. Viper.

and then there's the archie AU with LaLinde. the archie run's got a lot of good shit about it, but Dr. LaLinde was originally intended to be a darker-skinned woman with a normal introduction, and then her first appearance is The Love Interest

heart backgrounds with dr. light going AHOOGA HOOGAAW AOOOOOOO HA-CHA-CHA-CHA-CHAAAAAAAAAAAA. i'm not about to say that there can't be love interests in media or that women can't be attractive, i too enjoy a nice pair of knockers whenever i can pull myself away from being correct on the internet. but this has the subtlety of a brick hammer hitting another brick hammer with a face drawn on it. two volumes down the line, i can guarantee you they fucked. nothing may have come from it, since ken penders fucked the entire universe, but i think that just means dr. light got pretty handily fucked by extension.

megaman's got a lot of AUs and a lot of split timelines, even oftentimes within the same subseries. capcom can't write a straight timeline to save their life. someone could be holding the NES hostage, holding their dick in the cartridge slot and yelling demands at bob capcom on the phone like "you write a coherent story or i'll blow this bastard's brains out", and then bob capcom still would insist on putting in 3 extremely important characters that are relevant for maybe 2 minutes of cutscenes. and would still conflict with the lore established in Stage 69 of Area 420 in Megaman Zero 0. megaman continuity would STILL be utterly fucked beyond repair.

whether or not Light fucked has no real bearing on it, as you can see--even the fuck timeline has a lot of splits completely unbearing of the simple binary "did/did not" switch. it's a little bit more complicated than that. see, the question is not so much whether the timeline split is caused by Dr. Light having sex, but rather whether he tops, bottoms, or takes it up the ass.

. ˚◞꒰appearance꒱

𖹭. maroon eyes, his pupils constrict into slits when he is experiencing intense emotions. they can also go completely red. wears eyeliner, either soft red or blacks. when he is having moth moments his eyes get bigger and become a solid, static deep red

𖹭. medium-length, fluffy and curly dark brown hair that extend halfway down his neck

𖹭. bronze skin, has a bunch of beauty spots on the left side of his face and along his forearms

𖹭. a very androgynous face that leans more towards feminine features

𖹭. stands at a height of 5'8” with an fit body

𖹭. a two pairs of upper fangs on his canines that he can retract ( the inners being a bit larger and the outers being a bit smaller )

𖹭. silk slits all over his arms and hands, around his waist, all over his back and on his ankles. he also has one at the back of his throat. they are invisible for the most part but they can reveal themselves in agitated or touches excessively. they are quite sensitive

𖹭. elongated tongue that can thin out quite a bit ( he can hide this, however )

𖹭. claw-like extension that extends from his outer wrists and outer ankles. they are retracted

𖹭. a set of moth wings on his back that can disappear and reappear as according to a moth life cycle. between these wings are thin wings of a mantis

𖹭. moth antenna that can sprout at times

𖹭. if his powers are having hectic days he may develop mandibles

𖹭. switches a lot with gendered clothing, can wear lots of sweaters and turtlenecks, a soft boy aesthetic — but can quickly switch to a preppy girly aesthetic. very much red and blacks, sometimes whites

𖹭. wears black and red beaded bracelets

𖹭. standard lobe and upper helix piercings

𖹭. midline tongue piercing and a gold septum piercing

𖹭. nipple and frenum piercing

. ˚◞꒰personality꒱

𖹭. very kind -hearted and compassionate, always appears quite serene and happy. sunshine boy

𖹭. polite and seemingly quite patient. exudes a certain effortless charm and glow that draws people to him at times. he can appear quite approachable especially with the smile he typically carries

𖹭. hopeful and always trying to look at the positive side of things

𖹭. can look a little lost at times and even quite oblivious

𖹭. however, he is very intelligent, having had a knack for it from a young age, often excels in academics

𖹭. sometimes deals with levels of anxiety, both internal and social. he might not always know how to interact because of his lack of exposure in his learning years

𖹭. has a deep yearning to escape his former life and the expectations held onto him. wishes to escape the narrative that he feels his fellow heroes put up against him. to prove those, especially his parents, wrong about his ‘incapabilities’

𖹭. don’t underestimate his soft personality, he can quickly go into a leadership roll and take control of a situation when needed

𖹭. is incredibly dutiful and selfless, can be very self sacrificing which may lead into him being quite reckless

𖹭. heroic, feels like he needs to protect as many people as he possibly can when he is out on the field. tries to save everyone which can be incredibly damaging both physically and mentally to him

𖹭. prides himself on the betterment of others and himself, can often overwork as a result of this

𖹭. can be quite stubborn, especially towards those that tell him he can’t do certain things

𖹭. don’t let his soft aura fool you. he can suffer from dark thoughts that stem from a biological temper as a result of his animal powers of an aetheer that he was born with. rather than earning them in his later years like his fellow atheers

𖹭. he is actually easily irked — although, he tends to mask this well. his method of dealing with this storm of emotions is by bottling up any negative feelings, which of course does not work out in his favour. this makes the young medic prone to snapping should these emotions pile up to drastic degrees.

. ˚◞꒰with a lover꒱

𖹭. even bigger softie and adores showering his significant other in bouts of affection — it does not matter whether it is through physical affection or verbal.

𖹭. another of his love languages is gift giving as he enjoys spoiling his lover — something that he may unintentionally go overboard with at times. he can’t help it! he has this forever burning desire to take care of you.

𖹭. he watches over you quite a lot in regards to your physical and emotional well-being. as a medic, he is always prepared for when times such as sickness strike and he can even at times fuss at you to take better care of yourself.

𖹭. as you probably would have guessed by now, rishen is a very empathetic, kindhearted and affectionate lover, who truly wants the best for you. when he sees you struggle, he will run to you as fast as possible and help you back up on top as best as he can. one call from you and he is right by your side.

𖹭. calls you an array of endearments in his mother-tongues, such as ‘sundari’, ‘querida/querido’ and ‘amor.’ as he feels it gives much more depth and value to the endearments.

𖹭. say goodbye to struggles with studying, with rishen’s love for academics, he is always eager to help you figure out what is in your homework — anything to help take the weight off of your shoulders !! as long as it isn’t literature. . . he might sit you down with talisen instead.

𖹭. his favourite dates include watching the city lights from buildings he can swing the two of you up to, going on small coffee dates or reading in silence.

𖹭. be prepared for some teasing here and there. rishen is the kind to act innocent yet catch you off guard when you least expect it and make you a flustered mess.

𖹭. and when you confront him on the teasing? what do you mean? him — tease you? noooo, never. is what he will say while pressing a quick kiss to your cheek and smiling happily at you.

𖹭. hugs from behind as greetings, throat kisses when he leaves and hand holding whenever has the chance are an absolute must!!

. ˚◞꒰strengths꒱

𖹭. intelligence: highly intelligent from a young age, resulting in advanced, prodigal level of skill in science and technological fields.

𖹭. increased bodily function: advanced strength, speed, durability.

𖹭. heightened senses: advanced sight, smell, hearing, taste and awareness of surroundings.

𖹭. healing factor: a dull healing factor that heals his injuries far quicker than an average human

𖹭. magical silk: red magic silk that shoot from from his all over his arms, hands, back, waist, ankles and even even from his mouth

𖹭. wall-crawling: the ability to stick to surfaces at will.

𖹭. fangs: retractable fangs that secrete venoms at will ( the venoms are chosen by a magic apparition with pincers that creates a different kind of bites when he is about to bite )

𖹭. seismic sense: able to feel vibrations in a seismic way whenever his limbs touch surfaces. he can feel these from quite awhile ago

𖹭. wall-crawling: the ability to crawl walls.

𖹭. pheromone generation: the ability to physically produce pheromones.

𖹭. enhanced stealth: due to rishen’s spider, mantis and moth traits, he operates quietly and moves silently, moving along shadows and crowds extremely quietly and fitting in when he needs to.

𖹭. enhanced agility: an attribute he has from his mantis traits — rishen is extremely agile and flexible, able to bend and twist in many different ways to avoid attacks from the enemy. as such his combative technique is swift and like that of a mantis

𖹭. moth wings: at times, rishen may grow moth wings and have them for a while, before they eventually fade off and take a while to come back.

𖹭. mantis wings: these wings are extremely vulnerable and he does not wish for anyone to touch them, not even the people he trusts the most, as it could easily damage the wings.

𖹭. raptorial limbs: retractable claw-like extensions from his outer wrists and outer ankles that he can use in combat

𖹭. enhanced leap: able to leap quite lengthy distances

. ˚◞꒰weaknesses꒱

𖹭. increased metabolism: has to keep himself fed constantly or he will grow weak, faint or go into a hibernative state

𖹭. mania: biological temper that comes with being born with his aetheer powers rather than being bestowed them later on. can result in him having severe snapping episodes if he does not take stabilisers

𖹭. heart: has a rare heart condition that he was born with, subjecting him to heart attacks throughout his life. it is vital to keep him calm to avoid cardiac arrests.

𖹭. abandonment issues: has severe abandonment issues that can result in spurts of panic should they come about and he is not comforted

𖹭. temperature regulation: can’t handle extreme colds and extreme heats, especially if he does not take his stabilisers. will grow quite overwhelmed if not

𖹭. insecticides: while they might not kill him, they will make him feel extremely nauseous

𖹭. light: if his moth traits are more prominent, he can be attracted and distracted by light

𖹭. mantis wings: like mentioned previously, due to the vulnerability of these wings, one cut, shot or blunt force damage dealt to them, will cause him immense pain that can leave him almost immobilized at him.

𖹭. mandibles: when his mantis traits are more prominent and his mandible extend from his mouth, they can be quite painful for him and result in constant headaches

𖹭. cocoon: at times, during extreme periods of overwhelm, he might cocoon himself and stay in previously mentioned hibernative states for a long time — which is not healthy for him at all.

𖹭. acidic saliva: if his spider traits are more prominent, his glands release acidic saliva which certain parts of his mouth are not entirely immune to — thus putting him through a lot of pain

𖹭. moth antenna: while they can aid him in some instances, they can clash with his other senses and create disorientation. due to some of his moth abilities working in a cycle, they can pop up at inconvenient times ( effects are still applicable even when he is keeping them concealed )

. ˚◞꒰story꒱

born to a family of superheroes, rishen has always been a special case. mysteriously born with the animal powers of an aetheer, emanating that the frightful combination of spider, moth and mantis attributes, the young boy was severely different from those around him and thus lead to a life quite different from his peers. that of which did not hinder his development in mind nor his curiosity, let alone his ambition to be just like the heroes around him.

with his selfless yet stubborn attitude, rishen sets on a journey of herohood despite his father’s ( and the rest of his fellow aetheer’s ) wishes. determined to prove them wrong about the supposed ‘curse’.

along with his boyfriends, alessio and talisen, he sets out to make the city elritea a better place. extending kindness where he should not at times, and putting his life on the line, in an effort to protect those around him. though, he forgets himself in his recklessness in sacrifice of protecting those he loves —

SSR Jamil Viper - Dorm Uniform Vignette

"M-My heart..."

―Last Night

[Scarabia Dorm – Lounge]

Jamil: We're inviting the Headmage and throwing a "Banquet to Showcase the Scalding Sands"?

Jamil: …Once again, you've got us wrapped into some trouble without even considering others.

Kalim: But the Headmage said he was trying to figure out where he wanted to go on vacation, right?

Kalim: Our country would be perfect.

Kalim: So, we in Scarabia should show him just how amazing Scalding Sands can be!

Kalim: I'll leave the decorating and menu to you, Jamil. Leave the parade preparation to me!

[Scarabia Dorm – Hallway]

Jamil: Yeah, but even if I'm told this just the day before...

Jamil: Well, it is the Headmage we'll be hosting. If we throw a half-baked banquet, it'll reflect on our dorm negatively.

Jamil: I'll have to make sure this banquet is an absolute success, for Kalim and the dormitory… And also, for my sake.

Jamil: Alright. First up is decoration.

Jamil: However, just being beautiful won't be enough. It should express the culture and traditions of the Scalding Sands.

Jamil: …All the ideas I keep coming up with would just take too much time.

Jamil: Hmm… I must find a way for beauty and culture to intermingle… Beauty and culture… Beauty…

Jamil: Ah! Right!!

Jamil: I should ask "that person" for this sort of thing.

[Pomefiore Dorm – Lounge]

Vil: …And so you've come here to ask for my advice in designing your venue for a party.

Jamil: Yes. We need beautiful furnishings, beautiful table settings, and beautiful entertainment…

Jamil: As I kept thinking the word "beautiful," I could only keep picturing your face, Vil-senpai.

Vil: Oh, is that so?

Jamil: Kalim prepared for us some of our country's traditional fabric to use as decoration for the party.

Jamil: I have the fabric here. The cloth is bright red, with a large peacock design.

Jamil: I was hoping to humbly request the advice of what to do with this fabric from someone with as much aesthetic sense as you, Vil-senpai...

Vil: I understand what you're trying to say.

Vil: …But you can't possibly be expecting to receive my expertise for nothing, now, are you?

Jamil: (Haha, I knew it'd come to this! Good thing I came prepared.)

Jamil: I would never dare to expect for the epitome of charismatic beauty, Vil Schoenheit, to assist me for free!

Jamil: How could anyone ever be so rude. As return for your advice, I will gift to you one roll of this delicate fabric.

Jamil: As it is, textiles in the Scalding Sands are extremely high-class.

Jamil: Moreover, these fabrics woven by private artisans on behalf of the Asim family can't be found in any store…

Vil: I can tell with one glance just how well-made this cloth is without you having to explain any further.

Vil: Well, I was just searching for fabric to make into a new suit. I'll accept your request.

Jamil: Really? Wonderful!

Vil: Let me take a closer look at that textile you brought.

Vil: …I see. It's woven so delicately, and yet the large design has a rather strong impact.

Vil: I supposed it would be customary to use this fabric as-is and frame it or lay it out to showcase the traditional artisan craft.

Vil: I think I would like to devise a different way to use it…

Jamil: Wow～ This is all so educational～

Jamil: (Great, Vil-senpai should take care of everything now. I'll just nod along from here on...)

Vil: Someone, bring my fabric shears!

Pomefiore Student: Yes, sir!

Jamil: Your shears?

Jamil: …Wait a moment, what are you using those scissors for? You're not…

Vil: It should be obvious.

Vil: I'm cutting it up.

[SNIP!]

Jamil: Aaack!! Now that very expensive cloth is in two strips!!!!

Vil: And I'll cut it once more to make a thin, long flag.

[SNIP!]

Jamil: H-He cut it again! One roll of this cloth could feed a family of four for one whole month and still!!

Jamil: What a waste…

Jamil: Wait… What is this…?

Jamil: By making those deliberate cuts on the traditional pattern, he's made a whole new pattern appear!!

Vil: That's right. If you simply stay within in the norm, it will only be a tasteless venture.

Vil: And although a certain someone has been throwing around pointless flattery since he got here…

Jamil: (Urk!)

Vil: You can't allow yourself to forget to be daring whenever you try something new. Dedicate yourself to being sensational.

Vil: The word "safe" does not exist whenever I have a hand in producing something.

Vil: Now then, you go grab another pair of fabric scissors as well and cut the cloth exactly as I tell you to!

Jamil: Y-Yes!

[Main Street]

Jamil: Whew. I'm beat…

Jamil: Vil-senpai… I appreciate that he doesn't do anything half-hearted, but he sure knows how to boss people around.

Jamil: There were a lot of scrap fabric left over, so it took a while just cleaning up, too.

Jamil: …Well, at least I've figured out the decoration issue.

Jamil: Next is prepping for the dishes that we'll serve at the banquet. It's already past 15:00, so…

Jamil: …Wait, past 15:00!? I've got less than 3 hours until the banquet starts!!

Jamil: Thanks to Vil-senpai's long explanations, that took much longer than I expected. At this rate, I won't finish in time for the banquet!

Jamil: I have to figure something out so I can make the food in time.

Jamil: Make… the food…

Jamil: …Alright.

Jamil: This time, I'll have to ask "that person"!

[Kitchen]

Jamil: (For this banquet that Kalim just sprung on us to show off the Scalding Sands to the Headmage…)

Jamil: (In order to make it a success, I need to make traditional dishes from my hometown…)

Jamil: (I don't think even I could prepare all of it by myself.)

Jamil: (And so I decided to call in support. And when it comes to cooking, it has to be this person…)

Jamil: Trey-senpai. Thank you for your help.

Trey: No problem. I'll do my best for you. After all…

Trey: You're going to prune all the rose trees in Heartslabyul as recompence, yeah?

Jamil: …Yes. As long I can make it through this party.

Jamil: (When it comes to the workload, I think I lost out here. It's fine, I'll just put on a cool face, and keep my head down…)

Trey: So, do you know what you're serving?

Jamil: Yes. I intend on creating a menu based on traditional Scalding Sands dishes.

Jamil: The main course will be a whole roasted lamb. Ordinarily, I would have marinated it in spices for three full days, but…

Jamil: I have some already pre-seasoned in the freezer. I'll have to use that for today.

Trey: Sounds to me like you're pretty meticulous, already planning ahead for this banquet.

Jamil: Kalim just loves to randomly invite people over, so I make sure to make arrangements ahead of time.

Jamil: Place the meat in the oven and roast it over low heat. While it cooks, we can prep the other dishes.

Jamil: We have to make seafood sauté, green salad, potato and bean spread, lightly toasted bread and dessert…

Jamil: Basically, I need another set of hands. First, we'll start with peeling the potatoes!

Jamil: Great. With that, all the dishes are done.

Trey: Everything smells delicious… Especially the cooked meat!

Trey: …However…

Trey: The visual might be lacking a little bit.

Jamil: Eh, really?

Trey: Yeah. Everything on the plate is brown, so I feel like it's missing something.

Trey: I have these roses that I picked to turn into jam. Maybe if we scatter these petals…

Trey: See? Doesn't it look much more gorgeous with all the red in the dish?

Jamil: You're right! It gives off such a striking impression now!

Jamil: From time to time, my younger sister will say that my cooking looks bland.

Jamil: We used to get in so many fights about that… I guess it was because of the color.

Trey: Haha. Well, here in Heartslabyul we have a few guys who're picky about how the pastries look, so I think I get how you feel.

Trey: The most important thing when it comes to cooking is the taste, of course.

Trey: So I'd love to say that visuals don't matter, but…

Trey: We created a real delicious thing. Shouldn't we want people to enjoy it from beginning to end?

Jamil: I'll make sure to keep that in mind. Next time I head home, I'll make sure to surprise my sister.

Trey: Great, then let's decorate the other dishes as well. I have some edible flowers, too.

[Main Street]

Jamil: Thank you very much, Trey-senpai!

Jamil: …Alright. I've finished prepping the food now, too.

Jamil: …I wonder how Kalim's parade preparations are going.

Kalim: Looks like the animals are here. Let's go meet them at the Main Gate!

Jamil: Hm? Speak and they shall appear. It's Kalim. I think I'll check in on him from afar…

Scarabia Student C: Will you really be bringing lions and elephants here too? What if they get loose on campus…?

Kalim: Hahaha, it'll be fine!

Kalim: What do you guys think you need to be able to communicate with animals?

Jamil: (Hey, that's too easy. The answer is "Animal Linguistics")

Jamil: (Use animal linguistics to teach the animals he proper route for the parade…)

Kalim: The thing everyone needs to be able to communicate with animals is…

Kalim: A GOOD BOND!!!!!

Jamil: !!??

Kalim: We're all living creatures just the same, so it'll work out if we just ask them for help.

Kalim: After a little break, let's open up the cages and build a relationship with the animals!

Jamil: …He's going to release the lions and elephants from their cages without proper preparation…?

Jamil: Why… Why is Kalim always so careless when it comes to animals…!?

Jamil: Since he was little, he'd always just go right up to tigers and leopards and try to feed them…

Jamil: …I've got a bad feeling. Every little thing is making me more anxious by the second.

Jamil: I can't rely on Kalim one bit. I'll speak with the animals myself…!

[Scarabia Dorm – Lounge]

Kalim: Headmage, I hope you'll enjoy your experience as we show you just how we honor our guests in the Scalding Sands.

Kalim: Alright, time for the feast!

Jamil: Somehow… We got the decorations, food, and parade prepared in time…

Jamil: I've run more today than I ever have in any basketball game. I'm worn out…

Kalim: Hey, Jamil. You look a little tired.

Jamil: YOU'RE JUST IMAGINING THINGS!!!!!!

Kalim: Oh yeah? That's great then.

Crowley: The decorations are spectacular, and the food is absolutely top notch.

Grim: Gobble, snarf, munch. It's so gooood!

1. Hey, use your manners!

2. Chomp, chomp, chomp.

Kalim: The Headmage and all the other guests are happy, too. Thanks for setting up the place and for prepping all the food, Jamil.

Jamil: …You're welcome.

Jamil: But it's too early to get complacent.

Jamil: As the host, you still have your own part to play during the parade finale, don’t you?

Jamil: Go and get ready for that.

Kalim: Yeah, alright!

Jamil: Geez…

Grim: Jamil!

Jamil: Hm?

Grim: Your dishes are so so so good!!

Jamil: …What do you think, [Yuu]? Does the traditional food from Scalding Sands suit your taste?

1. It's delicious.

2. I've love to eat this every day.

Jamil: Heh. Well, good.

Jamil: Oh. Looks like the parade is starting.

Jamil: Headmage, if you will, please come and watch the Scalding Sands Showcase parade from the balcony.

Scarabia Student C: U-Um, excuse me! Vice Housewarden!!

Jamil: Hm? Why are you in such a panic?

Scarabia Student C: Well… [whisper, whisper…]

Jamil: …

Jamil: …What!?

Crowley: Hm? Did something happen, Viper-kun?

Jamil: N-No! Nothing whatsoever.

Jamil: I must leave for a little while to attend to some other matter… Please continue to enjoy your time here at the Scarabia banquet!

[Scarabia Dorm – Hallway]

Jamil: KALIM IS GONE!?

Jamil: This is the traditional Scalding Sands parade of animals. We'll be releasing the parrots as part of the finale…

Jamil: And the host of it all is supposed to give a grand welcome!

Scarabia Student C: We searched everywhere, but the Housewarden's nowhere to be found…

Scarabia Student C: At this rate, we won't be able to do the grand finale.

Scarabia Student D: I know! What if you go out as the Vice Housewarden, in place of the Housewarden, Viper-senpai?

Jamil: I can't.  That would smear the host's― Kalim's reputation.

Scarabia Student C: But we can't find him…!

Scarabia Student D: And while we're stuck here, the parade is still going… What should we do?

Jamil: …Calm down, everyone. It won't help to panic.

Jamil: You are all insightful and calculating students of Scarabia, are you not? Whenever something unexpected occurs, you must tackle it with a level head.

Scarabia Student D: …You're right, Viper-senpai.

Scarabia Student C: Apologies for losing our head there.

Scarabia Student A: Vice Housewarden! I've been searching for you!

Jamil: Hm?

Scarabia Student B: Um… There's something I need to tell you about Kalim-ryōchō…!

Jamil: …I understand now.

Jamil: Because of your mistake, the parrots all flew away. So, Kalim went out in search of something to mitigate that.

Scarabia Student A: Yes… He said that it would be fine to start the parade, but…

Scarabia Student A: Sorry. Everything is our fault.

Jamil: …We can figure out who's at fault later. Right now, we have to think about how to solve the problem at hand.

Jamil: Based on what you've said, Kalim headed towards Diasomnia…

Jamil: No matter how fast he pushes that magical carpet, it will still take at least 10 minutes.

Jamil: There's only about 5 minutes left until the parade finale. No matter how you look at it, he won't make it back in time.

Jamil: …I have to do something to buy time until Kalim returns.

[Scarabia Dorm – Lounge]

Crowley: Tigers and elephants, lions, monkeys and peacocks… This parade is so lively with so many animals.

Crowley: I'm moved to tears that I'm able to witness such a spectacular parade from the dormitory's balcony!

Grim: Ooh! The parade has made it to the fountain.

Grim: The music's amping up, too…

1. Here comes the finale!

2. This is the most exciting part!

Crowley: I wonder what surprise ending they have in store for us!?

Crowley: …

Grim: …

1. The animals are just going around in circles.

Crowley: Their movements are strange, I wonder what may be afoot. Or, perhaps…

Crowley: Perhaps there was some sort of problem…?

Scarabia Student C: The Headmage and the others are starting to notice… Is he still not here!?

Scarabia Student D: If this keeps up, our parade will be a failure…!

???: The Asim family never fails.

Jamil: …That is, not so long as I have a hand in things!

Jamil: Here in the shadows of the tower above the roof is the perfect place… Flourish for me, my wind magic!

Crowley: Oh? Something is falling from the sky.

Crowley: This hail of red against the backdrop of the white Scarabia dormitory is utterly stunning.

Grim: Whatever's fluttering down keeps stickin' to my nose, it's so annoying!

Crowley: Grim-kun, you just don't get it. This is a rather stylish happening.

Crowley: I could gaze upon this forever.

Jamil: The scraps of fabric that Vil-senpai cut and the rose petals that Trey-senpai gave me…

Jamil: I didn't think they would come in handy in this way. It's definitely not something that even I could have predicted.

Jamil: Anyway, I was able to give us more time by giving them a little bit more of a show. All that's left is…

???: …Heeey!

Jamil: What's that flying this way…? It's the Magic Carpet! He's here!!

Kalim: Hey, Headmage! And [Yuu] and Grim! Thanks for coming to Scarabia today.

Kalim: Nothing makes me happier than being able to host valued guests!

Jamil: Whew… With that, the parade's done and done.

Jamil: I guess I'll start heading back to the lounge. Where's my broom…

Jamil: But anyway, how long does Kalim plan on staying on that carpet?

Jamil: I get so anxious watching him fly around on that carpet while standing…

Kalim: Woah, woah, I'm losing balance… Aaaah!

Kalim: I'm faaaaalling～～～!!!

Jamil: WATCH OUT!!!!!

[SPLASH!]

Kalim: …That totally scared me. I accidentally fell into the fountain.

Kalim: …Hm? But I'm not injured…?

Kalim: …Ah, Jamil! I guess you must have used your wind magic to help slow my fall.

Kalim: Thanks a bunch. I didn't get hurt at all.

Jamil: I thought... M-My heart was going to stop… Ugh.

Kalim: But, oh man, I'm soaked… This is so terrible. Hahaha!!

Jamil: It's not something to laugh about. I was completely beside myself!

Jamil: Stop being so careless!!!!!

Kalim: Urgh. …Sorry for worrying you.

Kalim: …Hey, did you see the parade finale? I did so good!

Jamil: …Yeah, I saw. Good job today…

Jamil: ...me.

Crowley: Wow～ The decorations, food, and parade all made for a spectacular banquet!!

Crowley: It must have been very difficult for you to prepare everything for this, wasn't it?

Kalim: Nope, not at all. Right, Jamil?

Jamil: Yes, not at all.

1. Great job!

2. Thanks for your hard work…

Jamil: (What a day today was. I don't want to deal with a banquet as troublesome as this one ever again…)

Kalim: Headmage! Come back and visit us anytime, even if it's not for vaca…

Jamil: Kalim!

Kalim: Hurp.

Jamil: Next time the Headmage asks anything of you, you need to make sure you answer "I'll consider it."

Jamil: Whatever it is, you need to come and clear it with me first.

Jamil: …Understand?

Kalim: …Hhhhew. You covered my mouth so quickly, that startled me.

Kalim: Sure. I don't really get it, but okay!

Jamil: You truly are the most useful Housewarden I could possibly have…

[hello-nichya-here]

If you could give zuko and azula royal epithets/nicknames, what would you call them?

Ex. William I "The Conqueror", Ivan IV "The Terrible", Alexander III "The Great", Elizabeth I "The Virgin Queen"

considering the descriptors can be positive or negative, there are lots of possibilities for them lol

To answer this ask, I'm stealing a bunch of titles from George R.R. Martin's works, otherwise it'd just be "Sister-fucker and brother-fucker" XD

Titles For Azula

Red Viper - I just like the thought of Azula killing enemies with poison, like Ursa killed Azulon, AND I like giving her cool weapons, so a poisoned spear would be awesome.

And lets face it, Azula is just a character that DEMANDS a title that suggests she's two-faced and deadly.

The Red Woman/His Red Shadow - I love, love, love, love making Azula Zuko's mistress & advisor, much like Melisandre is to Stannis (through I prefer her giving him babies that are not murderous shadow), and she'd absolutely get labelled as the evil witch who seduced the king and is leading him down the wrong path, just like Mel.

Plus, Melisandre and Stannis canonically go for moonlight walks in the books, and fuck on top of a war table/map in the show, and that is just perfect aesthetics for Zucest.

Realm's Delight/Light Of The West - Little Azula, with all of her disturbing tendencies, being called "realms delight", like she's the cutest, most precious thing in the whole world is just funny to me. And I like Rhaenyra, so of course I'd give Azula one of her titles.

And she'd definitively take a page from Cersei's book of "Give yourself a new title while you help your baby boy usurp the throne", only in this case she's stealing Kuei's throne for herself (and Zuzu).

The Queen That Never Was - Azula is just made for politics and to be a ruler, so I would not be surprised if, before her relationship with Zuko is made public and they get married, some people are still not over the fact that she never got to truly rule over the Fire Nation. Even after the whole "you're all banished" thing, I can easily see at least half the Dai Li calling her "The Fire Lord that never was" as they are all sad their favorite 14-year-old child soldier didn't get to enjoy rulling over the world.

Titles For Zuko

The Rogue Prince - You look me in the eye and tell this title doesn't fit the banished prince that had to stay away from home for three years, came back, willingly left to stand against his father/Fire Lord, and then came back AGAIN to change everything. Do it. I dare you.

The King Who Cared - Again, my love for Stannis and Melisandre heavily influenced this one. I like Zuko being the grumpy, furious, highkey entitled king that has a change of heart and decides "You know what, I need to take care of my people if I want them to respect me as a ruler" - and his "evil" mistress just comes along for the ride because she's THE most devoted woman ever.

The Peaceful - Unlike with King Viserys, this won't be a polite way to call Zuko "the cowardly/incompetent king." Like I said before, Zuko has a kind, righteous side and he is at his strongest when he embraces said side, and considering he helped end a 100 year and intends to be a merciful ruler, this just feels like a good title for him - not to mention, it will make it easier for enemies to understimate him, thinking he'll be easy to defeat, and then be brutally reminded that Zuko is being kind BY CHOICE, not because he can't ever be one hell of powerful, dangerous enemy to go against.

Sea Snake - @timur-pannonicus had Zuko be given that title after a major victory in his fanfic, and I just thought it was cool as hell. Plus I just love any connection to the three years Zuko spent at sea.

Titles For Both

The Conqueror - Zuko and Azula going the evil route, invading all the other nations and forcing the world to submit might be morally abhorent... but it's one hell of a great aesthetic and definitively makes them worthy of Aegon's title.

The Unworthy - Come on. Azula is Ozai's favorite, a prodigy, scarily competent and never "betrayed" the Fire Nation. Zuko is the firstborn, Ozai's MALE heir, won the crown and managed to help end a 100 year war. No way one of them gets crowned without half the nation/world going "BUT HIS/HER SIBLING DESERVED IT WAY! HE/SHE IS THE TRUE HEIR, NOT THIS DISGRACE OF A PERSON!"

Protector Of The Realm, Lord/Lady Of The Four Nations - Needs no explanation (but I do think Azula would only use the title of "Fire LADY" if she's rulling as Zuko's wife. If he had to marry her to win the crown, they're both having the title of Fire Lord)

Stormborn - That is just a very cool title and a future king/queen being born during an insanely dangerous storm is some epic myth stuff.

The Unlikely - Both of them are kids of the Fire Lord's second son, their uncle (aka the rightful heir) is still alive, Azula is a girl and younger than Zuko, and Zuko was fucking banished and disgraced. Nobody was making bets on either of them being crowned for a long time.

The King/Queen In Chains - Humiliating title for the sibling that lost the Agni Kai for the crown AND a thinly veiled way people have of saying "These royals are VERY kinky." Perfect for Zucest.

Phoenix King/Queen - Ozai's title was just objectively cool, Azula would totally see it as a legitimate thing just because her dad was the one to come up with it, and Zuko would TOTALLY want to be the first actually get to use that title as one last "FUCK YOU, DAD!"

Bonus

Azula has ABSOLUTELY called Zuko "The royal dum-dum" at some point, you cannot change my mind.

💐 𝑃𝑙𝑎𝑦𝑒𝑑 𝑉𝑜𝑤𝑠

A Wedding. Something usually done out of love, and an incredibly 'aesthetic' and pure event. On a Sunny day in May, Daphne Poca, the Headmaster of Moon child Academy, and Dire Crowley, Night Raven Colleges Headmage, decided that in order to upgrade their School reputation, a festival was to happen to attract lots of attention on Social media and to strengthen the Bonds between students. When looking for Ideas, a teacher of Moon Child Academy stepped up. "How about we act out a Wedding?"

And so it was decided:

The girls of MCA around the ages 16, 17 and 18 were to be paired with the students of NRC for a photoshoot and film shoot to act out a wedding, as accurately as possible. But only a limited amount of NRC Students were to play the Groom, the selected ones being Vil Schoenheit, Riddle Rosehearts, Malleus Draconia, Jamil Viper, Ruggie Bucchi, Azul Ashengrotto and Idia Shroud.

So now it had been decided. But, halfway through preparing, Dire Crowley decided that the dear Ramshackle Prefect was gonna be the wedding Planner instead.

The sudden change was of course massive chaos, and it took a while to organize everything again, but eventually, the planning was once again going smoothly and perfectly.

Too perfectly.

🍄 Soooo this is something I decided on together with my Headmates! Yes, I know, there is already a wedding related event in Twst. But this is an Cool idea!! Anyways!

TWISTED WONDERLAND

NATSUME DROPLIGHT (ref. to sundrop flower from tangled)

ramshackle dorm leader, 1st year

dominant hand : right homeland : ? club : gargoyle studies club best subject : astrology hobbies : art pet peeves : grim talking in his sleep favorite food : macarons least favorite food : pumpkin soup talent : quick to pick up skills friends : 1st year gang, kalim al-asim, silver vanrouge, malleus draconia, cater diamond, ruggie bucchi neutral : vil schoenheit, rook hunt, floyd leech (she’s scared of them), trey clover, jamil viper, idia shroud, leona kingscholar

her favorite vest is yellow but she had to give up wearing it because she was mistaken as a savanaclaw resident. mostly wears greyscale clothes now (partly due to ramshackle aesthetic), but she puts red ribbons in her hair since heartslabyul is like her 3rd home.

has a new bandage like every other day. ramshackle is a health hazard (curse you crowley. fix the damn staircase already).

she's on relatively good terms with everyone important, except floyd. the moment she glimpses him in a crowd she's GONE with the wind.

HEARTDROPS !! ace trappola x natsume droplight

#HEARTSHACKLE for life!! (deuce is third wheeling.)

everyone knew it was gonna happen eventually, but nobody knows how exactly it did (natsume asked ace out with a corny pick up line and he doesn't want anyone to know it worked)

nothing really changed between them, except the small sprinkle of additional pda (hand holding ew!!!!! - ace). they still relentlessly bully each other cause it’s fun.

deep down though, ace sometimes worries whether his jabs hurt more than she shows (he’s aware he can be an asshole, but hurting her is the last thing he would ever want to do).

he’s also terrified of the day she gets the chance to leave twisted wonderland. he knows this is not her real home and that she probably misses her family and friends, but he likes to think he and their friends are also essentially like family to her now– he likes to think she belongs here, with him (he doesn’t know she has no plans to leave).

movie nights every saturday, and 1st year game nights on fridays

though natsume constantly complains about them getting her in trouble with crowley, she would not trade their stupid asses for anything in the world.

very common date activity is dancing in ramshackle to songs from her homeland, or stargazing on the roof (ace fell off one time and he has not let her live it down since).

rarely will you find one without the other being somewhere nearby. it's an eyesore. they are banned from most public spaces.

ace offers to be her human canvas out of boredom sometimes and thoroughly enjoys the feeling of the cold paints on his skin, though he will never admit it aloud. when she gives him a painting or sketch of him as a gift he puts it in a hidden box under his bed. he faithfully collects them all to look back on when they're older. he swears up and down every new one he gets is better than the last one. he just loves being her muse

BACKSTORY !!

back at her original world, natsume was a pretty normal kid growing up. divorced parents with shared custody, a couple friends, some after school clubs and niche interests. average teen life basically

on a lovely friday morning, she had a nasty argument with her mother, and her already sour mood at the prospect of having to go to her fathers house later soured even further. she had a surprise math exam and her friends kept throwing jabs at her throughout the day.

safe to say, she’s had enough. after school she immediately rushed home without saying bye to her friends.

she tried to rush home anyway, but then a medieval looking carriage hit her and some magic dark mirror spoke at her. she honestly thought she was dead, but, nope, somehow even worse. some crazy dimensional travel occured and she found herself in the magical land of twisted wonderland. booyah!

ace, deuce and grim being her first friends in this crazed dimension was truly a blessing. despite grim being a talking cat and the other 2 being complete idiots, they were still somehow the most normal beings she's had the fortune to meet.

and, somehow, somewhere along the way, she found her eyes lingering on ace a tad longer than they normally should. found herself thinking about him more than it was socially acceptable between friends.

what joy. if she were alice she could never return now, for love is the strongest magic of all, or however the saying goes. be as it may, she stopped planning her return home long ago. perhaps staying here wouldn't be too bad, after all.

[wildstar25]

for the ask meme: do every number divisible by 7

question list

7 - Favourite Dye

toss up between Dalamud Red and Gunmetal Black. I love how the red looks on Arsay, its the perfect shade for her, but I also enjoy how a pot of gun metal black can make most items look like like a shiny black leather which is equally fun on her.

14 - Favourite Raid

In terms of story I think so far the eden raids have been the most engaging to me... aaa but I also really really love the omega raids story as well.... Pandaemonium was a fun story too with a payoff to something i never thought we'd get.... The version of the crystal tower raid series that lives in my head is also very important to me... mechanically i think the arcadion raids have been the most fun for a first tier. Im always pretty happy to get Thaleia in roulette because of the vocal performances. Generally getting orbonne or the last two neir raids is always fun too.

21 - Starting class

Arcanist!

I was honestly surprised I picked it to start myself, generally I really love the fantasy of playing an archer over a caster, but I really wanted to start in the port town of Limsa over the other two city options. I love seaside towns =w=

In the Arsay canon she does initially come Limsa with the directive to go straight to the arcanist guild. Her directions from Emrara was "it's the first guild off the docks you should see". Unfortunately, the ship Arsay was on laid anchor on the other port of Limsa. So when Arsay asked the shady looking Roegaden standing outside of a building entrance if that was the guild room, he let her in thinking she was a new recruit to the dutiful sisters. One conversation later and suddenly Arsay was inducted into the rogues guild. It actually took her a few days of running around the la noscea area before she finally had the time to show up in the arcanist guild and get assigned to a mentor.

28 - Which class do you want to see added next? HMM this is a tough one because viper kinda was the class I thought I really did want in the game. Aesthetically at least. But I kinda had a bad time trying to figure it out for myself when dawntrail came out and it really shot my confidence while playing it :') I want to give it another shot but I also can't help but feel bad playing it in group content. I also still feel like I need to practice ninja more before anything else...

but that doesn't answer the question whoops. I still think green mage should show up eventually in the game. I don't think I would play it, but it would be interesting to have a casting class that works primarily with buffs and debuffs/DoT skills.

I'm happy beastmaster is getting added, shame it'll be a limited job but I can understand it might get a little OP depending on how they design it.

Domestic

Viper/Mammon x Oc/ Technically Arcobaleno x Oc

Bonus Bel being their son lol

Since this post for my oc Celeste did well and I posted this aesthetic board for her, I decided to write out a short little thing between her and Viper.

Different Arcobaleno Curse AU (Basically, no baby forms lol)

Viper sighs to themself quietly as they slunk their way through the Varia base’s door. They hated going on missions alone, they really did. The result was always the same: an overbearing exhaustion that hit them harder than a brick to the head. The psychic stifles a yawn, making their way to their bedroom to pass out. However, the familiar silver knife jammed into the door’s keyhole informs them they have a rather unwanted visitor there or that their trinkets have been rummaged through at some point. The Mist flame pinches the bridge of their nose tightly, biting their lower lip in frustration before they step in. They open their mouth to scold, only for their voice to quickly catch in their throat at the sight of two familiar forms on their bed.

One was the teenaged prince who’d busted their room’s lock to get in and the other was a woman they hadn’t seen in awhile. They didn’t mean to ignore her, of course, but they’d simply been busy handling Varia things and making quick-money schemes. The woman looks over to them calmly, her fingers still gently combing through the blond locks of their son’s hair. She smiles warmly, her lips stained a pale red still from her lipstick she’d probably removed at some point before she’d gotten settled down in their room.

“There’s my sweet Viper… Or, it’s Mammon when you’re with the Varia, right?” Celeste’s tender voice croons. Viper relaxes a little, huffing through their nose before approaching.

“Either is fine when it’s you… Why are you here?” They question, knowing the woman could be here for something important just as likely as she is to just be visiting for something mundane. The singer covers her mouth with her free hand to muffle her giggling before she responds.

“So mean, mon trésor~ Obviously, I’m here for you.” “Just for me or is there more motive for this visit?” They question, still unused to how unconditional the other’s lover is. Celeste gives a soft snort and rolls her eyes, before carefully adjusting herself on the bed, doing her best not to wake up the slumbering Belphegor resting against her.

“I miiiiiiiiiiiiiissed you, I have gifts for you, and I wanted a cozy date. Though our baby has decided it’s naptime.” She hums casually while she grabs a small sack that they recognized as one of the woman’s many Crown Royal dice bags. Though she hardly used them for just dice anymore. The Varia officer can’t help the smile pulling on their lips, carefully getting onto their bed and joining their wife and pseudo-adopted son. The young blond audibly grumbles at all the movement, but soothes right back to his sleep with a few pets from Celeste.

While the singer is getting the prince back to his dreams, Mammon can’t help appreciating how she looks for a moment. Her curves, her healed acne scars that are visible without her makeup, the three different earrings she wore, and her navy eyes... How her lashes are long and full. How her smile holds such love and kindness in it so easily. How her long, opalescent white hair shined in the room’s dim light like starlight woven into strands of silk… Even how it starkly contrasted her dark clothes was simply dazzling…

Most wouldn’t consider being young forever a curse or burden, but in the long run, it really was. In the long run, a type of immortality like this will bring pain. Walking outside of time isn’t fun when you see people you care about age and grow older and older than you day by day. But… At the very least, the Arcobaleno will always have each other. At the very least, they’ll always have Celeste too… Hopefully… 

The esper snaps out of their negative train of thoughts when their lover gently waves a hand at them. She looks at them knowingly, tugging them a little closer and pressing a kiss on their cheek.

“We could get some rest now and look through these later, if you’d like.” She softly offers, carefully pulling the hood of their cloak down to play with their hair as well. The offer is beyond tempting, especially with the motions of their wife… But they can also hear the soft clink of coins somewhere in the bag she’d brought them.

“... Trinkets first then rest,” They mumbles, moving to rest their head on her shoulder and getting a small sniff of her perfume. Roses, patchouli, and white musk… They know this scent well! Viper narrows their eyes behind their long, violet bangs before adding on,

“You’re wearing Reborn’s cologne again.” The other Mist can’t help laughing a little again before nodding, opening the purple bag she brought here as she talks.

“If he didn’t want me to, he’d stop getting so much of this scent~” “You should try mine at some point.” They grumble enviously, snuggling closer to her. The singer rolls her eyes again before reaching into the bag and pulling out the items she knows they’ll like most: some shiny coins. Mammon can’t help their greedy nature, rather eagerly snatching the items up and looking them over slowly. Celeste smiles as she watches them before pulling more items from the bag out and setting them down to be sorted out into Viper’s assorted trinket trays later. Shiny thimbles, random little keys that went to god knows what, a small glass bottle perfect for a fantasy potion, tiny plastic frogs, cute charms fallen from broken bracelets, a handful of little gemstones, and more. 

With a light groan and a lift of his head, Bel starts to fully awaken from his nap. He pats his hand around a bit for his tiara when his mom softly puts it on his head for him, pausing what she’s doing for him.

“Thank you, Mom.” He yawns while sitting up fully, rubbing his eyes under his bangs before looking over to see what they’re doing. Celeste nods and chuckles a bit.

“Of course, my little prince, I hope we didn’t wake you up at all.” She coos in her usual doting tone. The blond teen doesn’t respond right away, instead he picks up a small fake knife that’s probably from some Clue type of board game. He looks it over slowly and curiously before slipping it into one of his pockets.

“Ushishishishi, this is mine now.” He snickers plainly, making his white-haired mom laugh then look at her partner.

“Ma perle, I think we truly are a murder of crows. Even our son has gotten our love for shiny trinkets.” She warmly jokes while her spouse smiles a little to themself.

“Guess we’ll have to get him his own trinket dish soon.” They hum while Bel scoffs a bit at both of them and pouts.

“It’s just one little thing, I won’t be like Mammon.” He defends, gesturing to the room that’s decorated as in odd bobbles, trinkets, knick knacks, and more that the illusionist had gathered over the years as it is in actual decor and furnishings. Celeste laughs again and gently taps the tip of her son’s nose.

“It always starts with just one little thing~” She teases before she carefully gets off the bed. She stretches then smiles back at them brightly.

“I’m going to go get us some food. Viper, honey, you should get some rest. Bel, feel free to join me.” She coos before stepping out of the room. It didn’t take long for their princely son to join her, leaving Mammon alone for now. They yawn to themself, deciding to listen to their wife’s suggestion. After setting all their new things aside on one of the small tables in their room, the Mist gets cozy under some of the blankets piled on their bed. Knowing their wife, she’ll either come back with something simple like slices of bread and cheese or maybe something sweet. … Hopefully not any of those accursed salads she and Skull like. Just the thought of those concoctions of canned fruits, whipped cream, and half the time also jello makes them shiver. 

Before they give themselves nightmares over food that may or may not happen, the violet-haired Varia officer focuses on drifting off. Thankfully, the exhaustion of earlier hits them hard again and they’re soon out.

the holidays with viper

even if she doesn't admit it out loud, sabine loves holiday season. the cold on her face when she is outside, her favourite beige coat, turtlenecks, hot black coffee in her hands, christmas lights and decorations... everything is a reminder of her childhood in seattle.

christmas decorations are not a thing she enjoys to do on her own since she finds it quite a waste of time, at best she could get one of those fake little trees you can find at tge store, but she loves do to that with you. trying to decide which aesthetic you want to have and trying to untangle the lights does count as quality time after all.

i think she likes a more sober and classy theme, similar to but not just like the classic red and green. she is not the type of person who does a ton of decorations, ypu are not getting a themed house dor sure, but she likes to have something in every room. a few candles in the bedroom, a little tree and santa themed stuff in her studio, and so on.

sabine doesn't look like a woman who likes silly traditions but she does, especially the ones she creates with you. like hanging the misletoe on the living room entrance and kissing you under it whenever you two enter the room. it wasn’t really her idea, but if that makes you happy them she is more than willing to do that.

she is not into classic holiday movies or romcoms, but she has her list of media that in her head is for the season. in said list we can find little women, gremlins and for some reason iron man 3. she kinda tolerates the classic holiday songs and even hums some of them when she is alone or only with you.

definitely not the type of person who gives a lot of gifts. she will write down a list of things she things you like or thing you mentioned and will choose one item. the wrapping is minimalistic but well done. also, she prefers practical gifts like stationery items or house stuff. buy her one of those etsy mugs with the chemical composition of caffeine, she will pretend to be pissed but she'll use it everyday.
