Hawks x f!reader -> Cockwarming

Event Masterlist

a/n: soft hawksie, comfort, slice of life <3, cockwarmin.

there are times your work, your day absolutely drains the fuck out of you. you want nothing more than keigo and to be covered in the duvet of his wings. today you were late from work, reaching home at 10 pm. it was irritating— you were drained and your shoulders were slumped, keigo noticed the lack of ease and effortlessness in your body language and facial expressions in the morning itself. a sudden murmur when he wore his hero jacket, “why don’t you take an off from work sweetie? take my card and spoil yourself a bit mm?” keigo tried, but you dismissed his proposal. “no, im good thanks kei” your smile also seemed forced—

now that you had returned home, keigo came over to you immediately. wearing his grey joggers and a white tee. fuck he didn’t even have to try !! he was so ethereal. the blazing sun had toned down in japan & keigo’s golden tan with it. you walked towards him, hugging him eagerly. a musical chuckle escaped him as his hands groped your back, “aww~ my cute little birb.” he mumbles, leaning back and kissing your lips softly, melting away your stress and worries. “dinner?” he muses, tucking a stray strand of your hair behind your ear.

“mhm, what do we have?” you asked him, nuzzling against his palm when he cupped your face. “mm, whatever you want is what we have. keigo’s kitchen especially catered to his baby girl.” he grinned. you love that he addressed himself as keigo and not ‘hawks’ in front of you.

“some chicken soup.” you hummed, smiling back at him tenderly, through tired eyes.

“gotcha~” he took out his phone to check for outlets and you chuckled, “hey now, wasn’t this keigo’s kitchen?” keigo bit his lip, blushing with a grin. “yes it is, just out sourcing some stuff.” he winked, sounding exactly like the man of your dreams — oh wait, he is.

the dinner came in quick, by the time you were out of the shower, a stray plume caressed your cheek, making you giggle as you paved your way towards the dining area. “dinner is ready missy, sit down.” keigo looked at you, still in the bathrobe and whistled. “oh my~” you blushed and rolled your eyes at his antics, sitting down and having dinner with your husband. things seem so great when you start counting these little moments that life awards you with your man.

once the dinner was finished, where you talked to him about work, he talked about his— well, as much as he could share of course. you got up. flustered at what you’re about to ask. “wanna, cockwarm.” the words came out of your mouth easy. keigo smirked, “mm? want to feel daddy that close huh?” you nodded, blushing and looking down.

you nodded, looking into his eyes because you know he likes it. “yeah, wan’- wan’ to feel you close keigo.” you looked down, fuck his siren gaze with his marked golden eyes made you shiver. “and too tired for the whole sex.” you pouted, while keigo observed you in awe.

“mkay, if my sweet little girl wants that, who the hell am i to deny her demands? don’t want to be a bad daddy to my kid.” he winked, carrying you bridal style, a low purr escaping him when you lean against his chest as he took you to your shared bedroom.

“looks like gotta work you up first mm? how else are you gonna take daddy’s cock?” keigo smirked, oh he had no filter at times… you pouted, quite impatient and wanting to feel stretched & full already. after all these years with you, keigo has become an excellent mind reader. “okay okay~ let me get the lube, mm?” he cooed, pulling the knot of your bath suit and kissing your exposed tits. tugging at your nipples just to check how far he could go with them. they get really sensitive depending upon the time of the month & keigo doesn’t want to hurt his darling.

spreading your legs, pupils dilating in anticipation, keigo lubed up your pretty pussy and groaned when you arched your back at him rubbing your clit. “there she is, there she is.” he hums, spreading your cunt lips and thrusting himself in slowly. you arched your back and whined, gasping at the stretch. “fuck— i can’t.” you moaned when keigo pressed your pelvis, making you feel just how deep he’s reaching.

“that’s it sweetness, that’s it. ssh~ you’re taking it so well.” he crooned, kissing your neck and stilling. your eyes were glossing up. overwhelmed by the smouldering amount of love keigo showers you with. “i love you.”

“i love you too.” he said it like a silent prayer, smiling tenderly at you and leaning beside, adjusting your position & kissing your forehead deeply. “cute. my cute little angel birdie.” he smiled, kissing your eyelids. “let it go for me okay? all your worries, all your stress. because i’d always be here.”

and he’ll always be there for you. <3 you don’t doubt that.

Hello everyone, wanna give a quick update because I have some important stuff to share.

So basically I've been thinking about this for a little bit now and... i wanna start slowing down. I look back at the posts I've made and I've realised that I've done a LOT of posts over the past several months.

IM NOT GONNA DISAPPEAR DONT WORRY!!! I won't be gone!!! I'm not taking a giant break or anything. I just need to allow myself to recharge a bit. Because I feel myself actually getting tired and burning out and i wanna prevent an actual burn out from happening.

When I look at my inbox and I see the asks I get, sometimes I go "man... I really don't wanna respond to this... it'll be too much mental effort. But... the person might get upset or feel hurt that I didn't respond..." that shit weighs a ton on me. It's not to say that peoples asks are bad, HELL NO!! I love getting most of them! It's just that... I'm tired and sometimes I don't know how the hell to respond to something.

Another reason why I wanna slow down is because well... I kindaaa had a mental crisis... I've been feeling very... numb and angry? recently? which is kinda weird considering that Shadow Generations came out and Splatoween is around the corner. Yet i... feel nothing.

I feel my love for Callie slowly dying. It's just that... the common and gross takes about Hypno Callie are starting to really get into me and I'm feeling it's effects. When i see Callie i don't go "CALLIE!!!!!!!!" anymore, i go "Callie....." It's making me feel sad and when i see Callie i think about those takes. They flood into my head.... i feel so childish and dumb... and that i should accept what's "canon" instead of being some obsessive autistic loser.

I don't know what even happened. I think i hate the Splatoon community and youtubers HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

I've also started to feel numb because when i tend to become very passionate and excessive, i then get told off for it. It's like im always pushed down. So if they want me to shut up... fine... i'll shut up. I'll be a grey nothing burger.

Anyways, i'll see you guys later.

Dandy's World Au Main Designs 1

Main designs for my au comic thing im gonna make :3

(I try to stick as close to canon as possible with slight deviations)

Mainly designs + personalities/extra stuff

VEE!!!

Vee—being a robot and all—has a hard time expressing her emotions. She doesn't really know how to compliment people (based off her interaction with Brightney) or interact properly. She can come off as rude and cold but she isn't heartless.

ASTRO!!!! :D

Astro is often tired and prefers sleeping over doing runs. I gave him comfy clothes because he deserves it. I forgot to add moon motifs 😭

Astro can come off as a little cold but he's really just an introvert who has a lot on his mind.

DANDY!!

The one behind it all. It's all his fault. Dandy isn't evil, just a bit morally grey. He's done questionable things and refuses to talk to anyone post ichor situation but he genuinely was friends with everyone and does care about them, especially Astro.

Alt Dandy Design

SHELLY!!! :DD

She was my fav to design!! I gave her gloves and boots as well as pants under her dress so she's more comfortable doing archeology. Goggles n bandana were for fun, and she has her trinket!! Shelly is a sweet and caring toon who loves to talk about dinosaurs and prehistoric creatures/plants. She has a fear of being forgotten though, and being ignored doesn't help...

Maybe all she needs is some love and recognition...?

PEBBLE!!

Didn't really know what to do for Pebs and I couldn't figure out how to draw the color so I got rid of his dead inside look and gave him a little bone bow tie!! (Just like his owner :P)

Pebble has a bit of a staring problem and gets a little angry when his treats are taken away, but he's overall a good boy.

SPROUT!!! :3

Second fav design.

Sprout is an overprotective toon (especially to Cosmo) ever since the ichor incident, he's been a bit more closed off and bold, seeming less kind. Deep down, however, he's still the same cheerful sweet toon, he's just more focused on survival now. He often brushes off other's worries due to circumstances. He still loves baking with Cosmo when he can.

CURRENT SITUATION/TATTERED DESIGNS!!

They grumpy

Vee -

Her ever growing suspicion is something Dandy hates. Always attempting to "talk" to him, she's never able to get the chance. Vee finds runs an annoyance, but knows they're necessary. She tends to try to go through them as fast as possible.

Astro -

More tired than ever, Astro knows a lot no one else does. He seems to be the only one still supporting Dandy...

Dandy -

...

Shelly -

Shelly is more scared than ever, but still tries her best. She is more supportive than ever and is always there to lend the other toons a hand.

Pebble -

Misses his owner a lot, Pebble tends to see Astro more often now. He's a bit banged up from all the running and getting hit he does, so please be gentle with him.

Sprout -

Suspicious of Dandy as well, but less so. Although he also wants to know what the hell is going on, his priorities are much more focused on keeping himself and Cosmo safe and keeping the others alive. He switched his pants to shorts for more mobility and convenience.

cozy shelly bc she deserves it :(

[maddragonfruit]

hello it's me again the person who asked you to rant about your aus, plz strap in this is gonna be so long-

"So all the sides go to bed as normal one night, and when they wake, they're all in like completely different bedrooms and houses to were they fall asleep, seemingly with strangers in them.

ooooooooo, everything is probably feels a lot more tangible now cuz they're in the real world right? And like I headcanon that Roman wakes up with a lot of fanfare in his room, like birds singing and the lights glowing in a spotlight above his head, so all of that being gone is red flag.

After a while, and from the prompting of their "Families", they all separately figure out they've been made into teenagers.

How concerned are each of them about this, how worried are the families. Like is this a thing that happens often, do their kids just get possesed by random people all the time?

Now, these teenagers before the sides went into them, all still somehow have the same names and interests as the sides, even though they're in the same world as Thomas, I don't know, maybe it's a wild coincidence.

huh- strange coincidence- are the teens fans of Sanders Sides

Patton is the oldest out of five children living at home, and the third oldest of seven total. His "parents" kinda leave him alone most of the time, as they have much younger children to look after, so it's not hard for him to sneak away to meet up with the others, though he does have to babysit a lot.

Poor parentified older sibling- Whose the 'closest' to the Patton who isn't a side of someone's personality? Are they concerned about him? What are his older siblings doing?

Logan is an only child, his "Parents" are both very overbearing and supportive, think rainbow dashes parents.

Logan!!! Support network for you! Go you! (except helicopter parents can suck so also poor Logan, im sorry you have no space) Does corporeal Logan also have anger issues? Is he in therapy for it? I feel like his parents might do that for him! I bet he's in a lot of clubs and acedemic stuff at school.

Virgil's "Parents" are those millennial grey/beige people, who both incredibly disapprove of their "sons" emo "Phase" he doesn't get on with them much.

oh no, poor Virgil- how much like space is Virgil given? Like how much self expression is he allowed? Does he have to wear like grey sweaters and slacks? Did his parents cut his hair for him? Did corporeal Virgil give himself like peircings or whatever? He prolly has to do his makeup at school or something right?

I'm not quite sure for Janus, I'm thinking either a Single mum/dad, or a foster family, but he has a little sister.

for a second there i thought you were talking about him being a single teen parent lol- if he has a foster family is his sister a foster sister or a bio sister? How close are they? How close is Janus to his parents? Does corporeal Janus own snakes? His scales are probably just a birthmark or whatever right? Is Corporeal Janus planning on getting snake scales tattooed over his birthmark?

Roman and Remus don't meet their "parents" until the weekend after the wake up there, they very much just leave enough money for food and leave.

Extremely neglectful parents for the win! Roman's in the drama department right? What's Remus doing? Is he a big like biology student? Does he like art class and making hyperrealistic props

Obviously none of the sides actually view these people as family, or any sort of authority figure, it's more strangers who they live with.

honestly pretty angsty for the families that actually care about their kids. Like your kid starts being more evasive and skipping school and stuff and then they vanish. They don't seem to really care for you like at all and it doesn't feel like a regular teenager thing. Sometimes it feels like they've become a parody of the kid you raised.

Back to the story, all the sides eventually meet up in school, as they all either saw each other on the bus/during lunch/have a class together.

are the sides in different grades? I feel like Logan's 'parents' would drive him to school. How close do the sides all live from the school.

They manage to figure out where they are, which is a few states away from Florida. (I don't know American geography or high schools very well, as I'm not from there, so if I do write this, the high school will probably be more like a New Zealand one)

I know a lot about high schools in America lol (not public schools though which im assuming they go to) <- went to private school in the US. I'd rec using a neighboring state since it'll still prolly take like 6 ish hours to get there (if they dont get pulled over for stealing a car/for speeding and get recognized) South Carolina (7 hours fastest route)

The sides all try and figure out how to get to Florida, and how to get back to side form instead of teenager form. They also all have previous commitments, such as jobs or after school activities, which is annoying when you don't know what's going on. Remus, Roman and Patton's parents will let them waive these things, Janus, Logan and Virgil's won't.

all of this is v frustrating. Logan is prolly better off, since he's all about schedules ya and Roman is v good at pretending he knows what's going on but Virgil probably has a nervous breakdown or whatever. Patton goes home after school and his 'sibling' looks at him and is like 'shouldn't you be at work' or whatever

After a while, they manage to get a car, and just all run-away to Florida, Thomas's house.

Do they steal the car lol?

In Thomas's perspective, he's panicking, as all of his sides have gone missing. He gets a knock on the door, and it's these six random teenagers, all claiming to be his sides? Are these six of his fans? Are they all delusional?

poor Thomas! Does them knowing his secrets convince them? Or do they have some sort of powers or somethingn

After a while, Thomas believes them and lets them in, the issue is, they're all missing children, as they stole a car and ran away, and he doesn't want to be arrested.

makes sense makes sense

That's all I have, I assume at some point they figure out how to get the sides back in Thomas's head, but I don't know how, maybe they all die?"

id feel bad for the kids living their normal lives if they die- maybe Roman Virgil and Janus set up a like occult possesion ritual or something (Roman cuz he's creative, Virgil cuz its a spooky thing, and Janus because he gives off 'knowing occult things' vibes... maybe Logan too-)

OMG THANK YOU FOR THIS ASK!! I'll try an answer all of these!!

In my mind it's a combination of everything's more tangible, and these are obviously still different bedrooms compared to what they usually sleep in. Like, in a wip I wrote of this Au, Remus wakes up and jumps out of bed, only to find he's two meters above ground in the top half of a bunk bed instead of his mattress who he went to sleep on, and when he hits the ground, he finds out that instead of his body enjoying the pain and that kinda idea, it just really really hurts in his ankle.

The families aren't aware they're kids have all been body-swapped, it's more that they're like "Don't forget to drop your sister off at school!" or "remember to bring that library book with you to school, I don't want to get anymore emails about it being overdue." and Logan, Patton, Janus and Virgil all kinda figure out enough off what's going on to make it to high school. Remus and Roman don't until a couple days later, as theirs nobody around except for themselves and they don't know what one earth is going on.

In my mind, it's a complete and utter coincidence. You ask any of these teenager if they know what Sanders Sides is and the answer would be "...Sanders? Like the vine guy?"

I'm not quite sure what you meant by this, so I'm going to assume you meant the sibling non-side Patton was closest with, who was his 7 year old brother Jeremy, while Jeremy did notice something was slightly wrong with Patton, (Not remembering facts about himself, general being slightly more mature than a seventeen year old) it wasn't noticeable enough for anyone else to take his concerns seriously. Patton's older sister (Second Oldest) is traveling with her friends, and Patton's older brother (Oldest) is moving into a new house/apartment with his wife.

He is in therapy because of anger issues. However, corporeal Logan thinks it's pointless, so when side Logan shows up and says how much of a waste of time this is and he has better things to be doing, and refuses to speak, It's not much or a surprise for his therapist, at least not enough to be concerning. He is in the most clubs, chess club, debate team, math club (Is that a thing) generally a lot.

Corporeal Virgil is barely given any space, he has pierced his own ears and managed to keep it a secret, but aside from that the emo phase (Which he did already have, he just didn't have any way of expressing it) is trapped inside. Side Virgil has to beg the others to get him make-up/accessories/clothes. He buys that spray hair dye and has to wash it all out everytime the school day ends.

I've decided on single parent, though I don't know what gender yet so we're gonna go with nonbinary. Corporeal Janus is kinda close with his sister? She's 13 and currently has a lot of friends and other things going on, but she thinks he's pretty cool. Corporeal Janus does have a birthmark, and while I haven't put much thought into it, he is going to do that because that's sick.

Corporeal Remus enjoys biology and chemistry, he's also part of the backstage crew in charge of making props, and he does pottery.

They are in different grades. I'm not sure how american grades work. Corporeal Patton and Janus are 17, Corporeal Logan and Virgil are 16, and Roman and Remus are both 15.

Logan's parents drive him to school as they live in a nice neighborhood far away from the school. Patton drops all of his younger siblings off at primary school and high school by using his parents car, he lives like 20 min away from school. Virgil and Janus take the bus, it's how they find each other. Remus and Roman walk cause they live close by.

They appeared in South Carolina, it's been decided.

Yeah, Janus has a part-time job. Logan has a bunch of club things and therapy as mentioned above. Patton also has a part-time job, and he has to baby-sit often. Roman has play rehearsal. Remus has behind the scenes meetings. I don't know what Virgil does, his "Parents" have probably signed him up for something but I don't know what screams "Millennial grey activity!" to me.

The car is stolen.

The sides convince Thomas through secrets you'd have to be a hard-core stalker to know about, and also conversations they've had with Thomas that weren't on camera, as there's quite literally no way except for Thomas and the sides to know about those.

I really like the idea of a possession ritual actually! Just Thomas sitting in the middle of a circle with all the others around, and them all communally possessing Thomas to get back to normal is a really cool idea that I'll probably use.

Thank you so much for this ask, it was so fun to get and read. I really loves seeing all of your questions and reactions to the original post.

[g3n3s1s-l0v3]

sniles very sneetly at uu . got any hcs for the chars from return to sender . or just hcs for any db character idc :3 / nf

sniling tripply sneetly at u*

(im currently playing a lakeview round where the killer is princ… its so canon core)

eman (as her perk would suggest) is a hardcore evanescence fan; but so is yronica (secretly). obvi she’s never listen to it around other people but when its just her and eman they jam tf out

aaaqil is a total book nerd and the type to re-read books he likes. whenever he finishes one he especially liked he gives an in depth plot summary to callum

somewhat related to the last one callum hates reading. hes moderatly farsighted so reading tends to hurt his eyes. he’ll listen to aaaqil reading to him anyday

yronica is enemies with the entire cheer team cause she think theyre gonna steal her man (its secretly because shes worried theyre better than her in some way and will draw her friends away from her but shes not gonna admit that)

aaaqil and eman have known each other since childhood (like toddlerhood) but didnt ever really talk until callum and yronica became mutual friends

yronica straightens her hair cause when she doesnt its very frizzy and poofy

aaaqil bites pencils, callum bites his nails, and eman is one of those people that chews on her hair (whenever it grows out long enough for her to do that)

^yronica does her best to not have obvious tells like the others but when shes especially stressed out she plays with her clothes and presses her nails into her hands

every now and again eman convinces aaaqil to let her paint his nails. he always gets a light orange.

(yronica calls him gay for that… he is, but for other reasons)

aaaqil listens to rap; mainly oldschool like dre, tupac, NWE snd such

callum is a secret pop listener, yronica lowkey bullies him when she finds out

eman once got lyme disease when she was younger. no reason i just have a friend like her who got lyme.

eman, aaaqil, and callum are all dog people (doberman, shitzu, and st. bernard respectively); yronica is a cat person (grey shorthairs especially)

emans one of those history buffs who really loves learning about the world wars; yronicas not really a history buff but she likes learning about prehistory for a reason unknown to anyone but her

yronica secretly loves indie musicians like big theif, adriana lenker & stuff like that but when asked she’d say she likes mainstream rap (which is like. her number two pick)

eman’s really good with babies; callum wishes he was but scares them without trying

callum hates kickball. absolutely hates it.

yronica is allergic to mushrooms, callum’s allergic to dust and pollen, aaaqil’s allergic to pollen + lactose intolerant, eman’s not allergic to anything

(would it be bad to say i wanted to make yronica allergic to chocolate like me….. i think it’d make sense for her to be allergic to something super popular that she’d just try to hide to fit in…)

yronica LOVES horror movies but callums a bit of a scaredy cat so she always goes to see them with eman

they have study groups (all four of them) before midterms and finals)

yronicas grades can get shockingly high when she actually likes a class enough to try

(i kinda talked. a lot there. please please please please pretty please lemme know if u want more of these for other characters this was so fun to write pleaaaaase i wanna do more but i gotta have specifics or i will get overwhelmed times I million)

[tonydaddingham]

Hi! I'm kinda here to ask for clarification on something you said; hope you won't mind^. You say that Crowley's dark grey comment is one of the more honest and introspective things he says: that kinda comes across to me like you saying that Crowley's saying he's mostly bad with a capacity for good* and that's a fair assessment of him. I would have said it's more that he's mostly good with a capacity for bad**, baggages worth of issues and a bunch of flaws, primarily related to arrogance***, but that's technically beside the point: I also felt like that was the direction your character analysis of him was going. I'm now wondering whether I misunderstood the dark grey comment or misunderstood the analyses... what does your exactly mean, exactly?

*Concepts decapitalised because I'm talking about more human than Heavenly or Hellish standards of good and bad.

**Concepts decapitalised: see above.

***Blinkered was the word you used, I believe? It's a lovely expression.

^This isn't meant accusatory and I did my best not to sound like it, but I know you've had to field a few asks about yes, you do like Crowley very much, your criticism of him doesn't mean that's not the case, and I can only imagine how annoying that must be: feel free to can this if it comes across that way.

oh anon sweetheart 💕 don't worry about the tone or wording - your tone is perfectly polite and courteous, and i thank you for that!!! others have not been as conscientious 💀 though, be careful what you wish for in asking this, because it's gonna be lengthy 🫠

how you interpreted it is exactly as i meant it; i do think, when taking crowley's characterisation in the show (his book characterisation, for me, is rather different), crowley for me is a darker character with the capacity for light, rather than the other way around. and im going to specifically use darker and lighter, as opposed to bad and good respectively, because upon reflection, maybe that's more accurate.

yeah, to me, he is a dark character; if you've read any of my other asks/metas, please forgive me for repeating stuff, but imo the narrative tells us that he is more commonly swimming in darker tendencies than light. feel free to skip the next part and scroll to here*, because i will be recounting specific scenarios off the top of my head (going in chronological order):

not really explored fully in the pre-fall scene, because it runs throughout the show as a prominent theme; crowley is either unaware of why he fell (possibly true), or blatantly lies to himself and others about why he fell (equally plausible). his story about it changes, or at best is simply told in fragments... but his overall demeanour of when (e.g.) he's confronted with news of the apocalypse ("why me?"), when coupled with this, suggests a tendency towards blame avoidance, with a hearty dose of chip-on-your-shoulder complex

tempts aziraphale into eating in job; it doesn't really matter whether or not aziraphale ends up liking food and wine or not - he rejects the wine, and crowley immediately changes tack to offer food instead, citing that he can't get drunk on it, and of course he's not tempting him (absolutely is) so it's fine. aziraphale may have been curious about it, and this may be what crowley picks up on, but compare this scene to where aziraphale offers muriel a cupperty, and doesn't push when they refuse drinking it... hmm. (perceived feeder kink or not, crowley's face at the end of this scene screams satisfaction at his corruption)

this one is a little iffy, granted, but adding it anyway - blatantly dismisses aziraphale's concerns about the arrangement (heaven would be rather angry, but nowhere near how hell would retaliate - "they'll destroy you!), and pushes anyway. it's again another case of pushing for what he wants (and yes, true, what aziraphale secretly wants - which crowley detects and capitalises on), dismissing aziraphale's worries that, as we can surmise later on, were not unfounded

lets the french guard be taken off to his death. this is debatable, depending on whether you consider the guard to be a good or bad person in the context of the reign of terror, and deserving of execution as a result, but they could have easily escaped the cell unscathed without unfreezing the guard - ultimately, who are they (yep, including aziraphale here too, he's equally as culpable) to decide if he should die?

in the same vein, sends two watchmen falling to their deaths down a deep pit, and his only remark is, "might have slightly overdone it on the hole..."

(this one is tricky, but it rubbed me up the wrong way on first watch and thereafter so im including it) when morag dies, crowley's handling of the situation only really serves - imo - to rub it in aziraphale's face, when he already feels guilty enough for the both of them. i realise that he had to labour the point to aziraphale, and was just being honest - fair, he has a point! - but it came across as simply unkind and uncharitable... again, towards someone we are assuming he cares deeply about...

this one is in fact going to lean on some interpretation, but i think it's one that is so widely implied in canon that i think it might as well be; something happened to crowley between 1827 and 1862, and within that time, i don't think he was on best terms with aziraphale, given aziraphale's coldness when he arrives in st james' park. so, we could - could - surmise that he just suddenly asks for holy water from aziraphale, something that would be dangerous for them both and seems to exploit their friendship. he doesn't adequately explain why he needs it ("just insurance" is not sufficient at all imo), and taking offence to aziraphale's use of 'fraternising ' then contextually feels a little hypocritical

lies to aziraphale about having experience with a gun, banking on using a miracle if need be - which ultimately puts aziraphale's 'life' on the line, rather than being honest. he may well just want to make aziraphale happy, sure, but aziraphale goes into the bullet catch without all the facts - his face when crowley admits he's never shit (edit: meant to say shot, obviously, but leaving it in for @fabledshadow💕) a gun before says it all, really

when aziraphale saves his life with the photo trick, he doesn't thank him, or acknowledge any kind of gratitude at all, that it saved him from a rather bleak fate at the hands of hell. he may well be insulting aziraphale's skills to dissuade him from a repeat occurrence of the bullet catch (fair!), but he is also insulting the very thing that got him out of danger... and the very thing that aziraphale obviously takes a lot of joy, pleasure, and pride in (and, yk, what crowley was actively encouraging just a few hours previous). it was justified, to a certain extent, but it was... unkind

(the Big One - so let's get it over with) tries to tempt aziraphale into killing a child - antichrist or not - and continues to persuade him into it despite aziraphale evidently being uncomfortable with the prospect. it also indicates how little he knows aziraphale in this respect; regardless of whether it would be the antichrist or not, this is the angel who tried to preserve humanity by offering a sword to pregnant eve, and was ultimately crucial in protecting job's children. even in mesopotamia, you can see how subtley appalled he is with killing children - despite him trying to rationalise it by saying it's the great plan etc. killing a child, id wager, would destroy aziraphale. i digress, but if crowley loves aziraphale as much as he (and the fandom) likes to think by s1, it's rather dark that he would try manipulating aziraphale into doing this in the first place, and return to the suggestion again not once (bandstand) but twice (airfield)

sets up an elaborate trick just to make a point to aziraphale on the use of guns, and then lets innocent humans get arrested on what i would say would be very serious charges in s1 (i mean, let alone firearms offences, arguably it could be charged as attempt murder 💀)

hits anathema and acts in such a way that he probably understands that he equally hit her and she hit him, yet is more preoccupied with fixing the bentley, something he could miracle repaired later on... as opposed to helping her back to her feet and ensuring she was alright. he also is prepared, after all this, to reject offering her a lift, excusing that there's nowhere to put her bike

backhands "clever" with "stupid", because aziraphale is doing something (trying to reach god directly as a last resort) he doesn't think is worthwhile. aziraphale finds out that that is true, but once again, im gonna ring the 'unkind' bell

doesn't tell aziraphale about what went down with gabriel, or how closely hell is keeping an eye on him, or the threat of the BOL, or that he's living in his car, or what happened in heaven/the issue of the second coming. there are loads of other little things too, but he lies by omission, whilst maintaining that he doesn't lie to aziraphale, and routinely keeps information from aziraphale - not only information that would be beneficial to share in the general sense, but information that directly impacts aziraphale, and comprises both of their safeties. has a tendency towards a hero complex that ends up either going wrong/unfulfilled ("i won't leave you on your own" then immediately buggers off to heaven) or attempts to remove aziraphale's agency and dismisses him outright ("i have a suggestion-" "ive got this.")

abandons aziraphale when he is set in doing something that is not only in his very nature to do, but when he does it because he doesn't have all the facts (hides jim). despite his assertion that aziraphale shouldnt do it because jim poses a threat, he then leaves aziraphale to face it alone. it's unknown how soon crowley would have come back to the bookshop if it weren't for the BOL threat - we literally do not know this - and he reluctantly does the apology dance (arguably when he wholeheartedly believes he was in the right) in order to be allowed near aziraphale again. it's also implied that aziraphale always does the dance, whereas crowley doesn't - which suggests to me once again the whole thing about crowley avoiding blame

pushes jim into remembering stuff despite it obviously causing him pain and discomfort - on one hand, sure, he's not certain that gabriel isn't lurking about in there, but he does it again in ep5 when, as far as he's assessed with the whole jump-out-the-window thing (a whole other thing that need addressing), jim is in fact... just jim

plays around with maggie and nina (the both of them do, and they're both at huge fault for this, it's insane) like they're toys, without any regard for their personal thoughts or feelings, as if they have the right to do this

encourages jim to jump out a window!!! okay fine, yes, he fears that gabriel is lurking in there and is doing it as a test, but even he looks somewhat alarmed when jim is clambering over the windowsill - and objectively it's an atrocious thing to do. and ultimately it doesnt exactly prove anything more than what he already knows; if gabriel was chilling in there, and was so committed to the bit to drink hot chocolate, call crowley his friend with a straight face, speak to crowley as such as friend, and generally act the way he does... if gabriel is that good an actor? well, i can't imagine jumping a window would be beneath gabriel to do, to maintain his cover. so to me, crowley realised that what he's asked has crossed a line

and, im sorry, but - kisses aziraphale. now is probably the worst climate imaginable (ie. the "do that again" era) to be discussing my take on the kiss, but my read has largely always been that it was a temptation, and a cruel one at that. it was desperate, and heartbreaking, and i understand why crowley did it - but it was imo a largely cruel and selfish manipulation for aziraphale to betray himself, and stay with him. i love the kiss for what it is and represents, but as a result i just... yeah, im not a "do that again" girlie, because i think aziraphale absolutely recognised the kiss for what it 'was'.

anon, if you have made it this far... im so sorry. it's been helpful to summarise all of it though, so thank you for giving me an opportunity to do so!!✨

*now. the thing is, the vast majority of these incidents, these actions and behaviours (and probably loads besides that ive missed) are not evil. they are not even necessarily bad, not in the classic sense. a lot of them have well-founded explanations, sometimes outright justifications, and it's totally understandable why crowley makes them (even just narratively ie. even without speculating or inferring in any kind of trauma he may have suffered behind the scenes if the story as it currently stands).

id argue, personally, that each one of these is dark in their own way - dark, in the sense that they are morally ambiguous at best, immoral at worst. they might not be bad on their own merit, but arguably it is possible to see them as wrong.

we can absolutely look at crowley and think he is good - and i agree!... to a certain extent. even if you oust a good few of the above examples, there are a few that, imo, if ignored or excused, kind of strays into blatant mollycoddling of the character. crowley absolutely has the capacity for good and right - his objection to the flood, saving job's children, stopping the apocalypse, helping aziraphale many a time, are all prime examples (even if you could argue against each of these which... well, this ask is long enough so another time, maybe) - and i think will ultimately be guided by what he considers to be the right thing to do.

but when i say that his assessment of being "very dark grey", the above is why i think this is him being either extremely honest, or accidentally incredibly insightful about himself. it's not necessarily a dislikeable thing to be - crowley being more dark than light - but given the evidence as i see it, he's aware that he's not a wholly good person, more one that leans towards the objectively immoral than otherwise, giving more weight to when he does do good. and the thing is, he regularly asserts this - being 'bad' - to aziraphale.

in doing so - constantly saying he's not nice, rejecting thanks etc - maybe, actually, it's not as humble or self-effacing as aziraphale, or the fandom, likes to think it is. why shouldn't we consider that crowley might, actually, be a bit of an anti-hero? it doesn't make him any less of an empathetic, likeable, or compelling character - it just simply acknowledges that he may not be as irreproachable or scrupulous character as we might like to think he is!✨

i feel so forlorn for h&m shirts with lil bow ribbons 🎀 on them. it makes me mad my boyfriend is so stingy with his money. my other boyfriends in past used to take me shopping all the time. my favorite store was h&m and teavana and hot topic. i want a 🎀 shirt so so badly one that covers my belly. on amazon they only got crop tops of this sort and it makes me feel big and lumpy or like a ho.

thankfully my birthday is coming and friend noa from faraway is gifting me a 🎀 tank top !!!!!! im super excited and happy but worried because it size medium.. yes i do wear size medium in tops but still i worry.

my boyfriend says i have a sense of entitlement and it's true. all the bad stuff i say about my ex husband is true but he came from wealthier family and truly spoiled me with cute clothes and hello kitty items.

his mother even took me shopping to h&m in new york city and the hello kitty store too.

i think my 7th house being in taurus is what maketh me so materialistic.

i literally yearn to be skinnier and shop for 🎀 shirts. also i need new shoes soon. i always get the same kind: light grey new balance sneakers~$65 from amazon.

but i did a bad thing. i signed up for like over twenty amazon accounts jus so i could get free shipping and then cancel prime before they charged me.

aaand now i fink im being punished! because the last 3 possibly 4 times i tried buying something there it locked me out. they *could* have my name and card on file saying not to permit me buy stuff.

oh well. boyfriend teach me lots of things. humility is important.

also i haven't showered im totally disgusting but gonna take selfies now 🤢

sad that i lost a follower whose style i love. im thinking she thinks she is better than me for sure. wateva

[tojiscrack]

if your goal was to give me an aneurysm from the most recent chapter congrats you did! 🥳🥳🥳

LOVEBIRDS??? nuh uh. NUH UH UH. stawp kamo back off pleaseeeeuhhh 🙏🙏😭😭💔💔

BUUUUUTTTT jealous megumi??? OH WE ARE SO GETTING CLOSE TO ANGST i can picture it all in my head:

megumi: why have u and kamo been so close recently, ur supposed to be my ..bsf 😡😡

y/n: ummm wdym porcupine shut up were not that close 😤

AND BOOM ANGST i am so scared yet excited for the angst to be more serious 😈😈 (i am almost 100% sure every single ask ive sent u has mentioned the angst in one way or another)

um also do NAWT expect me to switch teams, CUZ YOU HAVE BEEN SEEING THIS FROM AO3 READERS (and like 1 tumblr reader) BUT NOT ME!!!! i will not be going to team kamo because 1. i am a SUCKKKERRRRR for childhood friends to lovers + the whole dynamic they have (constantly teasing each other but always matching the energy) AND 2. my fav jjk character is megumi so obviously i wanna see him more

btw i think this bonus scene is my favorite because its soo ridiculous?? 😭 i hope yk whenever you put something from canon into this (like w the prison thing) it feels like im watching a reboot of a show or movie and theres a parallel/refrence/character return, and all im thinking is “holy shit i know this!!! omgomgomg!!!!”

btw i apologize for sending this in later than i normally would, i saw you posted last night but i was soooo tired and i decided to sleep, and i was binge watching “you” all day so uhm i just read it! 😅😅 (also if it helps im like 99% sure you posted the chapter on megumis birthday in my timezone)

anyways!!! AS ALWAYS FANTASTIC WRITING LIKE mwah mwah mwah i adore it so much, you genuinely have such a good way with words it amazes me every time how your writing is consistently good, but also improving?? its so impressive i wanna eat your writing 🙏🙏🙏

i was actually aiming to give you a stroke instead but, yk, aneurysms work too ig 🙄

‘stawp kamo back off pleaseeeeeuhh’ — i wrote the lovebirds line while giggling btw, i knew you and a bunch of others would react either angrily or just panicked 😭 so worth it, honestly, ur reactions are so funny dkmmm

HAHAA WHY DID YOU MAKE A WHOLE NOTE FORM SCENE OF IT? 😭😭 that’d be the sitcom version of it, narrowed down, less drama, etc. you just wait 👀

‘i am almost 100% sure every single ask i’ve sent you has mentioned the angst in one way or another’ — no i agree, i’m also almost 100% certain every single ask you’ve sent has smth to do with the angst 😭 LMAO I REMEMBER WHEN YOU WERE STRESSING ABOUT THE ANGST WHEN THE FIRST REAL PLOT-THICKENING CHAPTER CAME OUT JEISJWID

and whole time, it was just a little bit of plot sauce, nothing major

even now, the angst isn’t even here yet, and you’re still stressing 🌝 you’re gonna get greys before the story even takes off girl, CHILL 😭

‘do NAWT expect me to switch teams’ — YOU? switching teams? if that ever happens, i’d actually log off and just contemplate and ponder for a week straight. you, who was stressing about the angst before it even arrived (still not here yet)? you, who had your megumi funko pop mauled by a bear over this story? you, who returns in my inbox at least thrice a week to give everyone a speech about your negative thoughts on kamo?

yeah, me expecting you to switch teams is NEVER happening, don’t you worry about that 💀

‘btw i think this bonus scene is my favourite because it’s sooo ridiculous? 😭’ — so real. i loved writing it. initially i was gonna put smth else for the bonus scene, but i might push that smth else onto next chapter’s one. the whole reason why the gojo-phone-box scene was even put in was ‘cause of a question someone asked about whether i’d lock satoru up in jail to parallel the prison box issue in canon 😗

BUT AHHH, I’M GLAD YOU LIKE THE PARALLELED STUFF? I HAVE SM FUN WRITING THEM OUT, YOU HAVE NO IDEA 🤭

and i have more ideas to put in, but i don’t wanna introduce the newer characters from the manga just yet ‘cause ik there are some anime-only readers and i respect their unspoken wishes for a spoiler-free zone — unless otherwise mentioned :)

^ that kinda complicates things for my timeline, but it shall be fineeee, i’ll work through it lolol

don’t apologise!!

i did kinda wonder where you were (‘cause this chapter was me being purely evil by making the first half about the friend group and then the second half about kamo) so surely you’d be the first to arrive to give me a good scolding or smth? 😀 but you came anyway, so it’s fineee :) i hope you got all the sleep in the world! <3

also currently reeling rn ‘cause your comments about my writing improving is just sooooooooooosnisheidjwjdjejsbe 🙂‍↕️🤚🏽

[courtofmatchups]

Hi hi! Can I get a tokyo debunker matchup?

Pronouns : im biologically a female but tbh getting called a man feels pretty good sometimes it feels like im a transformer or smth

Appearance : shoulder-length black hair and grey eyes, i wear glasses but one of the lenses cracked in half :') kept on wearing it until now tho lmao

I forgot my height, but last time I checked it was in the 170 cm zone :')

In terms of fashion sense, if it's a night out i'd do outfits similar to Taiga, if it's daytime i'd lean more into ren's type of casual clothing(easy to move in)

Personality : it depends since I have a habit of adjusting to others (f/e if the person i'm talking to is talkative i'll just listen whilst if the person is more of a listener i'd talk in their stead) with the exception on if that someone's an asshole i'd be an asshole too to spite them, i get bored pretty easily resulting in me jumping between extracurriculars(switching whenever i get bored of it) but i do appreciate regular mundane stuff if things get too hectic

Usually i'd be an easygoing person, although i'd prefer if most people only know my name and nothing else, it's fun to keep people on their toes ^^

In terms of morals i just. Use a spinwheel to decide whether i'm morally good grey or bad, i may not have a gambling addiction but i AM good at gambling--

My favorite hobbies are doing imaginary math problems in my head(blame my asian parents lmao), chess, practicing combat(mostly close ranged combats and aikido), playing games(mostly games that's give me adrenaline), and debating

Personally i apologize for putting in so many hobbies i just jump around doing stuff sometimes

Either that or i just crash on my bed and refuse to get up for 12 hours straight

I don't really have any dislikes, it depends on my mood to be honest( and also depends on the majestic all mighty daily morality roullete wheel)

Extra : i have a habit of only eating one meal per day(afternoon) since i dont have that much of an apetite, i like cooking tho(WOULD cook for someone)

I can play a few instruments like the piano guitar and violin, ive always wanted to learn how to play a harp, so that might be in my list

Sorry for making this so long, i hope you have a great day!! Don't forget to take care of yourself, drink enough water, eat healthily and get gokd amounts of sleep (:

It seems to me, You've captured the heart of...

Taiga Hoshibami!

You quite literally match his freak, and lord help whoever crosses the two of you

How I see you meeting is during the Sinostra episode. You said something unhinged, much to Ritsu's dismay, but Taiga wasn't offended. Far from it, actually. He was quite amused. You weren't particularly pleased with the interaction, but Taiga would remember your name and face in no time, so less risk of him shooting you.

In time, he would actually seek you out just for some attention, and even if he might come off a little strong, give him the benefit of the doubt, as he means no harm to you.

In the time you do become a couple, things are gonna look up a little for the students. Even if the two of you are super unhinged, you can chill him out if things are getting out of hand. And don't worry about getting bored around him. He'll find an activity you'd like.

Some aspects of you that he really likes are that you're really good at mental math. He runs a casino, and your prowess at predicting outcomes based on math is fascinating to him. And aside from that you can help to keep track of Sinostra's earnings, so that will come in clutch for both himself and Romeo.

Personally, I'm not too sure how he'd feel about you sleeping for 12 hours straight most of the time, but on some level, I think he'd get it. He'd often use you as his personal body pillow, so be prepared for that.

So, in conclusion, Taiga's erratic and mysterious nature would mesh well with your own, and the two of you would become a power couple in the best and worst (for anyone who cross you, that is) ways possible.

[lilywalkers]

i give you with a book boyfriend / girlfriend after a short description of yourself and your fandoms! + moodboard

omg hi ceri!!! congrats on 50! <3 anywho!! i’m part of the marauders fandom, the outsiders fandom, the pjo fandom, etc so you can pick!! :3

physical: i’m 5’3” , i have dyed red hair but it’s a little bit faded now, it’s to my shoulder blades and it’s wavy. i have blue,green,grey eyes that change depending on the day/what i’m wearing, i have freckles but only on one side of my eyes, my nails are short because i bite them a lot but i’m working on it and they’re painted black but the paints chipping off a bit.

aesthetic/personality: i’m kind of a mix of boho/hippie and like downtown girl if that makes sense. i like long skirts, and tank tops, i have a lot of band tees and i adore sweaters and converse all though i really want a pair of doc martins.

im an entp, aquarius, gryffindor, & cabin 11 (hermes :3) in terms of the golden retriever x black cat trope i am 10000000% the golden retriever. i try to be happy a lot and just joke around. 3 or 4 people put in my yearbook that they love how i’m always smiling in the halls and stuff, i’m hyper a lot of the time but i just try to find adventure a lot. i love taking walks, sunsets, listening to music (the smiths,the cure, deftones,the smashing pumpkins, the beatles, fleetwood mac,) and others i have a very very diverse music taste. i love movies as well, horrors my fav genre, followed by coming of age, but disney movies have a special place in my heart and coco makes me cry all the time lol. i love screaming and dancing to disney songs while doing simple tasks like cleaning my room. i like to read and write as well. i have adhd, both hyperactive and inattentive. anddddddddddd i’m a very picky eater.

OMG IM SOREY THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE SJOET 😔😔🤞🤞🤞 IM SOREY CERI ILYSM!! CONGRATS <32

10 THINGS I HATE LOVE ABOUT YOU for dallas

a/n sorry this took so long lol SIDENOTE your music taste is so good omg

not even gonna lie to you, i came up with this after my first read-through of your ask, but i was doubting myself a lot SOO it may not be totally accurate 🫣 but i thought you and james potter would be a cute couple

my main worry in this pairing would be clashing personalities, but lemme just explain myself first

he's very caring and sweet, but he also likes to have some fun. he would be SO willing to do all sorts of fun things with you, like watching your favorite movies, taking walks, etc. i also hc that james doesn't really have his own music taste, so he'd listen to whatever you play or recommend to him. also, when it comes to picky eating i js know he'd eat anything you left on your plate lmaoo 😌

here's the moodboard >_<

[future--ghost]

I HAD THIS WEIRD ASS MULTI-FANDOM DREAM LAST NIHHT EXCEPT IT WAS MAINLT ABOUT BATIM??? HELPP??

I had this weird ass dream about a batim themed movie and it was about the Ink Curse??? So it started out with Hunter from the Owl House getting put in time out and then he fell asleep, so Lilth drew one of those two swiggly lines on his face.

Then it cut to the bendy movie??? That was only part one and 3 and a half hours long??? So basically the MC who was a girl, I think she was a brunette caucasian teenager and her best friend who was the stereotypical pretty popular girl looks (blonde hair, blue eyes etc, lets call her Brittany) but she was really nice. One day, MC (im gonna call her autumn) falls asleep, and her face gets those squiggly lines like Hunter got in the prolouge. She wakes up and looks in the mirror, and now there are two circles of her skin coming a little outward, like she got two small warts on her face, but she didn't? Then she goes to the library and meets this nice guy named Aaron, who's got 4c curls and a nice fade. They start talking and hit it off immediately. Then Autumn gets these really unnerving flashes of images that sort of decay and stuff. Like the eyes with move in an unnatural way and start to grow, and some will be of people in the ocean, then slowly getting dragged in by a black murky substance that overtakes their body as the person's figure melts and deforms beyond recognition. I was super freaked out by these in the dream. Anyways, it stopped, and Autumn started describing these symptoms to Aaron, who apparently knew what she was going through was easily a curse, so he found a book on something called "The Ink Curse" (creative, I know -_-). They start researching it and blah blah blah, the two fall deep in love. They can't find a way to cure it, so Aaron goes onto the stage they have set up in front of several people for some reason, and Aaron pulls out the accursed ink that he somehow obtained and infects himself with it. Autumn gets a flash of the Ink world, which is really just some sort of teaser screenshot showcasing a bunch of different characters. (The Ink Demon looks hella deformed here. I thought that was funny.) That's where Act 1 ended.

Act 2 started out with a bunch of those weird flashing images I mentioned before (now that I'm writing this, I don't think that hallucination scene really happened). Blah blah blah, we're introduced to Autumn's best friend Brittany, who looks and sounds like your stereotypical mean girl but actually really cares for Autumn and would do anything to protect her. Brittany finds a way to cure Autumn's curse, so she summons Beezelbub and asks him to curse Autumn's curse and also whatever ailments she might have as well? This is done with a simple notion that I can not for the life of me remember. Autumn is cured, and Brittany is happy, so it feels like a happy ending. Except, Aaron hasn't been seen in a while. He was in for the past month, and he slowly became more sickly looking until he looked like he had been bleached. His skin looked almost grey, with a small hint of tan. Black, drippy marks started to appear on his skin or come from his skin, let bits of Ink seeping down his eye, until he eventually vanished. Despite the sudden disappearance of Aaron, everyone moved on after a few months. Autumn, on the other hand, was mildly worried. She tried to stay optimistic by hoping he had transferred to another school, but no matter what she said to calm herself, it didn't work. There was a ring at the door. Autumn left her room to go see who was there, she found that the hallway looked dingy and decaying, with bits of black liquid seeping through the walls. The door opened and a black murky figure, that was heavily deformed and had messed up features, despite still having the appearance of something almost human. It wandered through the halls looking for Autumn, it could not see its surriundings , but it could hear. Autumn eventually said something that caused the creature to come over to her location. The creature had told Autumn everything. The Inky figure turned out to be Aaron. Autumn attempted to speak to him, telling him that she knew a way to cure him, but Aaron seemed pissed off by that. He told her that he was not cursed but enlightened. That he could not go back to living blindly, as he did before. He told Autumn about his plan to drag everyone at school into the Ink, to save this godforsaken world and bring them all to a new, better place. Autumn knew she had to escape, so she left. She ran away and left him there. Hoping that she could buy herself some time to run away, get to school, and warn everyone.

She got to her school and found Brittany, she told her everything, and Brittany agreed to help sabotage his plans. It cut to what I assume was gym class because everyone was rallied up in an activity of sorts. For some odd reason, people were sitting down in metal foldable chairs. Brittany looked up and saw that there were buckets of ink, so she made sure the seats were arranged in an order so they'd be safe from the splash. When the Ink came down, it covered this one kid who never showed up again, so he was probably fine. I can't remember what happened in between here, but there was a confrontation between Aaron and Brittany. Aaron was enraged, asking if Autumn even missed him or if she even cared. Brittany yelled back and brought us to a cutscene with the two girls by the ocean on an empty part of a beach. The light waves moved back and forth against Autumn, who was crying. She missed Aaron dearly and didn't know how to go on without him. She felt incredibly guilty and let her things be taken away by the sea, slowly and gently. Brittany comforted her, telling her that it's not her fault and that there was nothing she could've done to help him. The two girls stood in the sea. Autumn let her heart out, and Brittany stood with her and made sure she felt safe. It went back to Aaron and Brittany, and she pulled out a spray bottle. Aaron taunted her, and Brittany sprayed him with bleach. He melted, and then Brittany found Autumn, and they went into town looking for a place to hide. They found a small area saying that only people of high status could enter. They bullshitted their way in and stayed until the night was over.

Prom. The cliche end of any high school movie, and this shit show is no acception. We see kidd dancing until we see an invisible man in a suit dancing on his own. For some reason, the prom looked like a ballroom for a gala. A jock went up and confronted the man, poking fun at him. The man revealed himself to be a creature of Ink (no idea if it's Aaron or not). They change into a fancy jester outfit and go on causing chaos throughout the dance. We get another look at the teaser flash thing, in which we clearly see a character from an entirely different fandom altogether... JEVIL FROM DELTARUNE?? yeah, I'm just as confused as you are man. The two cause mayhem and panic, and it ends with a scene if the two floating far above the ballroom that is in complete disarray. Then I woke up and couldn't go back to sleep, hope you enjoyed my dream.

Bonus: I remember hoping that Autumn was Allison for some reason idk

[homophyte]

okay plants update. we are officially two weeks out from bringing stuff out of dormancy! started the first week of november, going to get them out the second week of february. unfortunately its still pretty cold here but the light increase should still help out until it defrosts. heres what were looking at:

this is just basically how stuff is going. i went away for like 2 weeks in late december and had a family member helping with plants but there were some issues w keeping humidity and water--nothing so serious as to cause a real problem or anything very concerning but the ampullaria is doing. uhm. i dont know what its doing but it started when i was away.

this leaf is...drunk. i guess. ive had leaves deform for low humidity before but nowhere near this much. i guess it might have been the shock of going from high to very low humidity all of a sudden making it worse when my family member had the humidifier off for a day or so to figure out how it worked but like...ive never seen this happen. its a perfectly healthy leaf so i cant really complain its just not...supposed to look like that. the basal leaves are also yellowing a lot which happened to the ventrata when it made basals and the ampullaria is making basals so im assuming its not a problem for now. speaking of, some of the basals are having the same problem:

im gonna be honest this is so weird to me. it was not doing this before and i hasnt stopped doing it since. theyre just...curly. and a little damaged on the ends. i dont know why. im thinking its probably related similarly to the humidity while they were developing but like...maybe also the lower water than usual??? cause the basals tend to curl when they need water?? i really dont know. im not worried, again, but just...what.

so heres an update on some the plants ive been taking care of for my mom:

we changed the desk it was on to use less space, and everything is good! been growing like gangbusters actually. and yes, those are flower spikes on the orchids! check it out!

should be blooming soon :)

heres the last update: pitcher growth. im not expecting much cause it is the winter and no matter what i do its gonna be colder than ideal and the sun less intense. whats weird is that most of the small pitchers i have have been growing pitchers like crazy, and i cant figure out why 1) some of them arent and 2) why the large ones arent. the ampullaria i know is going to be slow, and probably wont make pitchers until the basals are more developed....but it had undeveloped pitchers and killed them off, they never finished cooking. idk why. the pitchers on moe have been slowly dying from the tip down (ie age death, normal) which is very distressing! it might have no pitchers at all left very soon! even its basals, which are at this point huge, the size of moe when i got her at least, arent pitchering at all. the worst is the small plants that arent--the gayas and ventrata basals that were separated have huge and deeply colored pitchers.....the one thats probably a bloody mary hasnt made any and is also slowly killing its remaining pitchers. the crazy thing is theyre still making huge leaves! like, leaf jump sized, very happy, just....no pitchers! idk whats up with it! if it continues when it gets warmer thats when im gonna start worrying for now...who knows???

last thing to say about pitchers is one of the moe basals that has been really suceeding is having a minor pitcher problem idk what to do with. (note the very happy and large developing pitcher!!!)

so that grey fuzz is mold of some kind. this isnt really a big deal especially cause its on the outside of the pitcher--if it had been inside eating the decaying insects and then spread to start eating the outside of the pitcher it would be a bit of a bigger deal--ive had this happen to moe and it gets kinda gnarly, eats through the pitchers very fast. i think it only happens if the pitcher itself is already dying--the kind of fungus that would be in the pitcher eating the bugs really only eats stuff that already dead. but thats not whats going on here, so im kinda...what do i do about it??? this is a perfectly happy pitcher with a meal inside that should be nourishing the plant, that probably wont see very severe damage from the mold--but it definitely could happen. where the mold is id have to take off the whole pitcher if i did, though. heres some close ups:

can i have opinions on this?? idc if you dont have experience i just kinda need to jump one way or the other.

^^pic of me talking to myself for the last few days about the uc stuff

SO atm theres only 2-4 UCs that i think im actually going to try for. probably just the first 2 at first just to figure out how the new UC item works and stocks and stuff. BIGGEST worry is that i dont think the mutant xwee actually counts as UC which is one i dreamed of having

so im going to have to see how much UCs are going to cover.

EXAMPLE: if i have a blue or ghost ixi will i be able to get the old art if i use the UC item on it? or will that not count because thats OLD ART not a UC design like the grey ixi?

i think thats whats going to determine how much i put into getting the UC items because i know FOR SURE if the UC item allows for ANY PET/COLOR to become the old art then i might get alot, i also know FOR SURE i dont want to start buying NC just for UCs cause im never going to be as active as the old days, the pet slots i buy just comes from the free NC that gets handed out onsite here and there so thats all im gonna use it for, maybe once i hit the max pet slots i'll use whatever NC left for UCs in the future or just faerie cookies, dont know yet

i know back in the early days i loved some pets MORE because of the old art (xwees, ixis, peophins, and unis especially) i dont dislike the new converted versions of those pets but i cant find myself making many characters/designs in my head for the converted versions, like old ixis were just FULL of character in all of their poses even in basic colors and now even just finding good customs is hard for me let alone making characters for them (i think is cuase of their big heads rip) also uni outfits are so TRAGIC i just cant do it

i personally have no gripe about the redraws (YET?) like i /can/ see the idea of a "downgrade" when looking at parts of the redraw (faerie wings KINDA) but thats it for me, i would have to see more to actually /feel/ anything about them. i do love the oldstyle thin lines but i the big gag here is i never cared about UCs when playing as a kid. i was definitely there BEFORE the 1st conversion but i think i stopped for a while when the conversion ACTUALLY happened, but me and squiddy loved customization so we kinda lost our minds with it at first anyway

i adore the oldstyle art for sure and there were so many pets i wanted BECAUSE i wanted the OLDSTYLE version of them (big example is the faerie ixi, i dreamed of having one cause she was so pretty but the conversion just made me not care) (also peophins in general, i had an old oc i pounded just because i just couldnt enjoy any customs or crosspaints i was going for, rip nini i miss you)

SO OVERALL: im really only interested in the old art, the value i guess is where i dont feel anything because my pets are ocs so theyre designs onsite can be whatever and i'll be fine

if these NCUC items allow for ANY PET COMBO to get oldstyle art then i could see myself getting a handful just to feel like i have one, dont really care about whatever identifier theyre going to attach to say "this is a NEW UC not an OLD UC" that doesnt mean anything to me i just want my pngs <3

if these NCUC items DONT work universally with the oldstyle art and it only works with the pets that are catalogued/officially coded as UC (grey pets, the darigan pets, some faeries, etc) then i may only get 1-2 and leave it at that. not really disappointed/upset or anything i just dont care about UCs that much to get multiple, i'll leave it to those users who care about them and hope its fun for them!

also i still have my neoclone accounts (that i need to get back to rofl) where i can get ahold of oldart pets which will work just as well! more ocs babey!!!!!!
