In between the pages of you | YOONGI X BLK FEM READER
summary: Yoongi fell in love with you. A girl he had never even met before. Knew everything that you were made up of within 96 pages of a worn red journal with a nirvana sticker on front, with coffee and tea-stained pages that also smelled of lilacs and summer.
genre: fluff, angst, humor, and romance.
a/n: I made a playlist for this fic if you want to check it out :). sorry for any mistakes in the fics.
CHAPTER 2 here
Chapter One: The Red Journal
It's only 2:15 in the morning. Yoongi sat in his usual spot in the back of the ramen shop eating his usual order of creamy pork belly shin. The crispy pork had a nice crunch, and the broth warmed his chest and stomach in the cold winter month of December.
The little ramen shop wasn't busy, just the same faces Yoongi had seen when he came here when he hit a mental creative block in his music writing. Oftentimes times Yoongi would people-watch, taking in insignificant details of the other customers he could somehow use in his music.
Like the old man with ink-stained fingers, Yoongi wonders if the old man is a kind of comic creator.
Then there was the young man slurping down his noodles as he studied for some kind of test.
Yoongi noticed a red journal sitting in the center of a table a few feet away from him. He looked around to see if the owner of it was anywhere. No one was at the serving counter or at the tea machine. The little ramen shop didn't have restrooms, so you had to use the restroom at the 7-Eleven across the street. So he thought maybe the owner could be there.
By the time Yoongi was done eating, he paid for his meal at the serving counter and bought a strawberry mochi ice cream. He walked by the table with the red Journal; he stood there for a moment staring at it. The owner never came for it.
So Yoongi took it to the serving counter.
“Someone left their journal here,” Yoongi said to the cook.
The middle-aged man looked at the journal and then at Yoongi.
“Okay?”
“Do you have a lost and found?”
“Does it look like I have one?”
“Can I leave it here in case the owner returns?”
“It'll get thrown out with the trash.”
Yoongi put the red journal in his messenger bag. He gave a tight lip smile to the cook and left.
The red Journal sat in front of him on his desk. He stared at the Nirvana sticker on the cover. He opened the journal to see if there was information so he could return it to the owner.
Yoongi reads the pretty handwriting, and the name written inside Y/N with hearts drawn around your name. There was no other information, so he flipped to the first page.
There's a faint hint of coffee that hits his nose and a coffee ring in the upper corner of the page with a movie ticket taped down from some French movie you saw back in July.
Yoongi read the first page of your journal. At first, he thought it would be crossing into someone else private life: what if there's some really deep personal shit here?
But Yoongi was a little nosey about who you, Y/n, might be.
June 1, 2023
I and my friend Namjoon ate at this Chinese restaurant above my apartment building. It's a small little one run by a husband and wife. I had sweet and sour pork with steaming white rice and Namjoon had Wonton soup. Namjoon thinks it's a little childish that I made a wish on my rice. I never told Namjoon this was something I always did with my grandma. She'll cook some rice for us on my birthdays, sprinkling a little sugar and adding some butter, before digging in we made a wish on the rice. I know it's nothing special to some people, but for me, brief memories like that with my grandma felt like hot chicken noodle soup on a bitter winter day warming your insides. So yeah, I'll continue wishing on bowls of rice, just to keep that memory of my grandma alive when she wasn't.
Yoongi's fingers trailed over each sentence until he was at the end where he saw a little chibi drawing at the bottom of the page with two people, a younger girl and an elderly woman with bowls of rice in front of them and scribbled above their heads read: Granny and Me.
His chest tightened a bit, and he batted his eyes to keep the tears away. It reminds him of him and his grandpa when Yoongi was a small boy, they would always go fishing, and Yoongi and his grandpa would wish on dragonflies so they could catch the biggest fish. They never did though and it never disappointed Yoongi when he caught something even smaller, it was the moments he spent with his grandpa that made these little memories special.
So Yoongi could understand you, wanting to keep that part of your grandma alive.
All he can do is try to imagine what your smile must have been like when a bowl of hot rice was placed in front of you, did you close your eyes? Or did you thank whatever God you believed in, if you even believed in one?
He was curious about how many wishes you made over the years, what you wished for, and did any of them ever come true?
Only from the first page of your journal Yoongi could tell you were someone with a pure heart.
Maybe you saw the world a little differently, like a child did when they first become curious about the world around them.
Maybe you were nice. Maybe you weren't nice enough. Maybe you smiled too much. Maybe you smiled too little. Maybe you cried easily when someone slightly raised their voice to you. Maybe you didn't cry at all.
A lot of maybes Yoongi thought about. Just a couple hundred words that Yoongi read he wanted to know who you were as a person. That all the maybes he had could be answered.
He flipped through the pages of your journal, just scanning over the pages. Some pages were torn out, with scraps of paper left behind from where you ripped them out.
Yoongi counted 96 pages with pieces of you scattered throughout the stained pages, folded corners, pretty handwriting, and every page smelled of lilacs.
a/n: the idea for this was random because I wanted to buy a journal and I'm like, what if there was a story about a journal and two people? I asked my friend who it should be about. It was either between Namjoon and Yoongi. And Yoongi made it. I may or may not do a Namjoon version. 😭
For a good portion of the story, we only will see Y/n through her journal and how Yoongi may see her.

Some headcanons for Toxic Consequences AU that I'm throwing out here:
1. Dokutaro and Okidogi have the strongest bond out of the Loyal 3 since Okidogi was the first one to be helped by Dokutaro. (In fact, Okidogi is considered to almost be a friend to the peach guy)
2. The Loyal 3's hidden abilities were their abilities before they met Dokutaro and got the Toxic Chain.
3. Okidogi's old ability was Guard Dog. It has the Pokémon's attack boost by 1 stage instead of lowered when hit with Intimdate. It also prevents the user from switching out from moves like Roar. I imagined Okidogi to basically not back down or flee from a battle, no matter how strong the opponent is.
4. Munkidori's old ability was Frisk. It lets the user check the opponent's Pokémon held item. Because of that, I like to think Munkidori was some kind of scout or watchman before meeting Dokutaro.
5. Fezandipiti's old ability was Technician. It increases the power of moves that are usually 60 base power or below by 50%. I like to imagine that Fezandipiti would always try boosting its appearance before meeting Dokutaro.
6. While Munkidori and Fezandipiti were unidentified Pokémon before getting the Toxic Chain, Fezandipiti was an Unfezant. (It also explains his undying hatred towards them in my AU)
7. Fezandipiti is trans (ftm) because I say so.
8. Fezandipiti can also captivate and somewhat manipulate people with its pheromones. This isn't as strong as flat out mind control, but it makes for a great backup.
9. Okidogi carries Kieran around sometimes, and also if Kieran needs to reach higher places.
10. Dokutaro chills in Kieran's backpack while he's at school. Drayton always points this out much to Kieran's annoyance.
11. There's multiple of Ogerpon's species, and they're all based on different fruits! (Except peaches)
12. Somewhat related, there's different kinds of Pecharunts! Except they're based on the different status effects (burn, frozen, paralyzed, asleep), and they're all Ghost type!
13. Like Dokutaro, the other Runts can all bind other Pokémon and people to their will, but most of them are friendly and do it as a sign of friendship, not control.
14. Ogerpon didn't know that Dokutaro was the plush at Peachy's. (In my au, she'd only really got a glimpse of Dokutaro and wasn't able to kick his ass)
15. Ogerpon's horns change shape depending on the mask she's wearing.
16. Kieran's favorite snacks are mochi and chocolate. He also enjoys popcorn from time to time (NOT KETTLECORN THAT THING IS AN ABOMINATION TO LIFE ITSELF /j)
17. The Toxic Chains have Dokutaro's poison inside them, and if they were the break, the poison would spill out.
18. Also the Toxic Chains taste sweet but with a disgusting aftertaste. (do not try this at home kids)
Anyways, let me know what you think! Feel free to ask questions etc.

Crush 40--On Shadow the Hedgehog, Keanu Reeves, and Grief
(and maybe an impending mid-life crisis)
I will be 40 years old soon.
Somehow, I feel like I am 40 going on 14. My obsession with the Sonic the Hedgehog franchise has yet again reached a zenith with the release of two amazing things: Shadow Generations, an add-on to Sonic Generations focusing on my favorite character, Shadow the Hedgehog, and Sonic Movie 3, one of the highest grossing video game films of all time.
I can’t stop listening to Crush 40, the band that plays for the 3D Sonic games (and whose song, ‘Live and Learn,’ was featured in Sonic Movie 3), and revisiting that back catalogue of songs and game titles. I feel like part of me has been revived—reawakened—as I let Sonic music, movies and games guide me on my own healing journey.
In addition to this, I have developed a crush on Keanu Reeves. At 40.
I know what you’re thinking: Whoa. Wait. What? I know, I’m going too fast. It’s kind of my thing. Let me back up a bit to give you some additional context. Just try to keep up with this stream-of-consciousness blog post in the meantime. 😉
I also know what you’re thinking: Hey. That was a bit from Ben Schwartz, the charismatic voice of Sonic the Hedgehog. Stealing others’ lines to write is the wo-o-o-o-o-rst!
Well, yeah. I enjoy using echolalia to communicate how I’m feeling. Deal with it. *sunglasses emoji, CGI explosion in the background*
*blows ash off the laptop screen, wipes keyboard with sleeve, keeps writing*
Silliness aside…it’s been a rough past few years for me, personally. I’ve experienced a lot of loss in a myriad of forms. And while I have managed to do some incredible things—I’ve self-published a dinosaur fantasy novel, I’ve solo traveled to Australia, and I’ve got 15+ years of teaching experience under my belt—writing and creating in general have taken a back seat thanks to anxiety and depression…and grief.
I’ve been in and out of therapy for years, I’ve been managing my symptoms with medication, dietary changes, journaling, even walking places when I have the energy. I have my beloved gray cat Mochi too, with her insistent chirps, yowls and purrs to help me feel present and grounded and most importantly, loved. And my online/offline friends and family—you know who you are—are here for me, too.
Still…I keep yearning for more in my life. For fulfilling my creative destiny, as it were. And my heart is begging me to open up again.
Is it gonna be alright? Therein lies the question that plagues me night and day.
After I finished my novel, I found myself in a creative rut, in a desert of epic proportions with a looming storm on the horizon. It’s like I’m sitting there in my computer chair, the dust swirling around me, and the Word document page is there on my laptop screen, bright white, screaming, For God’s sake, write something! I think I took the wrong pill, I want to tell whoever my Morpheus is. I think I don’t like this freedom you’ve promised me. So I sit and stare at the screen…waiting…waiting for inspiration to strike like a lightning bolt before the flash flood.
And…nothing. No white rabbit to follow, no magic to chase, no one has come to my rescue except me. Sitting there, some nights unable to sleep well, some days I struggle to eat. And yet, probably due to sheer stubbornness of will, I move on. I keep going, I keep trying, I keep putting myself out there on forums, on Discord, on so many applications and message feeds. I walk away from the computer chair out of frustration, because once again—my energy has gone elsewhere instead of the place my heart so desperately wants to be. Wherever that is, I am uncertain. And this uncertainty eats at me worse than the wind and water erodes the coastline.
I go to the beach on weekends, I feel the wind and admire the ocean, only to smell and taste the ash from the beloved towns near Hollywood burning, and again, I think in song:
Is it gonna be alright?
Instead of writing, I’d turned to Sonic video games and rewatching the first two movies to cope. This is a lifelong habit of mine, ingrained in me since I was young. When my world has crumbled to chaos, the only certainty I can salvage is in a blue blur and his black and red nemesis. The blue rat is a source of comfort, familiarity, and attitude that I deeply enjoy. Reciting the lines from Sonic Adventure 2 since its debut in 2001, bouncing joyously to the music, reveling in the teenage me that I never fully appreciated nor understood—these things kept me going at low ebbs in the tides of life.
I was binging Sonic and Shadow YouTube videos late at night when I saw it: a comic by a Sonadow shipping artist. A very well made comic, sourced from tumblr. And when I saw Sonic and Shadow kiss passionately, something stirred within me. Something was not the same. I was tired of playing by the rules of society’s game…
Unfortunately, I could not defy gravity, but I could decide to start somewhere with my writing.
And on hearing Shadow’s new voice, I felt a similar thrill. So I started again. I decided to write fan fiction based on the Sonic movies, in particular emphasizing Shadow from Sonic Movie 3.
I admit I didn’t think much of Keanu Reeves in a crush kind of way decades prior. Oh yes, I knew of his work—there was no doubt there—I, like Sonic, loved him in Speed, and enjoyed teasing everyone I knew when I took the bus back and forth to school and work that it couldn’t go faster than 55 miles an hour, thus the reason why I was perpetually late (ADHD? Pfft, what’s that?).
I loved his voice in Dracula and in Shakespeare’s works, because I too have the dreaded SoCal accent—what some typecast as Valley Girl or Skater/Surfer Boi—and I thought he was rather handsome then as well. I remember his smile, too, that brilliant grin that made me smile back.
But my heart in my teen years was stolen by an Aussie knight in shining armor—Heath Ledger—so I let Ted from his Excellent Adventure days slip from my mind. Yeah, I know—bummer.
The Matrix was a film I barely remember seeing, probably because the body horror still makes me squeamish—even though comics and writings with such scenes don’t detest me in the slightest. But I do remember the trenchcoats and the sunglasses, how popular that look became. I rewatched the film recently, and I enjoyed it, although its messages have aligned very well with my internal quicksand of existentialism.
I couldn’t place why I liked the toy stuntman Duke Kaboom when I saw Toy Story 4, but I really liked his character, and then I found out Keanu voiced him—well, shoot.
And when I learned about his personal tragic backstory, with glimpses in the entertainment media channels—well, this is interesting.
Why is it that people who create my favorite things—musicians, voice actors, writers—all share a similar trajectory traumatically with me? I’m sure there’s some psychoanalytical thing here. Maybe an energy thing, like a vibe check. Who knows—but oof. The resonance intrigues me.
Because Keanu, a very private man, embraces grief in every role, in every creative thing he does. It’s an outlet for his pain, for his personal growth. And he works really hard, too, to bring that message of hope in chaos. I admire that deeply. Because unlike Keanu, I tend to run and hide from my own healing process, tend to dismiss the impact grief has on me right now. And I struggle with channeling my grief into my writing beyond journaling and therapy homework.
An even more interesting parallel, is that Keanu is a writer too. He recently published a comic series and then a follow up novel about an ageless man who becomes a weapon of war, with…get this…a thirty-something scientist WITH MY RL NAME that revives his memories and well…!
Spider-Man pointing meme is activated!
And so too was my storytelling.
Days before Sonic Movie 3 was released to theaters, I challenged myself. At first, I thought, ugh. No one is gonna want to read my goofy Sonadow story. So I slept on it. And then, I thought, what the hell. And I published the first chapter to Archive of Our Own.
Within hours, dozens of kudos notifications hit my inbox. I had set off a deluge in my personal creative desert. And my heart began to pitter patter in a way I hadn’t let myself feel in years.
Holy shit. What have I done?!
John Wick: "Yeah. I'm thinking I'm back!"
The more I wrote the story, the more I referenced the Sonic Movie 3 actor interviews after seeing the film in theaters twice. Is that research? I guess. I don’t know, I tend to think of it as, oh look! Another form of my obsessions taking place—neat!
And I admit I love the Shadow the Hedgehog video game from 2005. Yes I played it, yes it was fun. I mean, come on, I get to be the cool guy on a motorcycle—which in reality, my ex was into that stuff for a time, to try and impress me I guess? Never me haha—with a gun—which I will never wield, I’m more of a pacifist than that—and I get to sass Sonic into submission while I kill aliens?! I mean, sign me up!
Shadow as a character is also meant to be voiced by Keanu Reeves. His gruff demeanor, his anger, his fear, the volatility of his emotions—it’s there, in his character arc, as well as held nicely by Keanu’s inflection. Shadow is the quiet rebuke to Sonic’s effervescent chatter, the sobering steel of his gaze and voice merging to tone down Sonic’s wild, rebellious, fun nature. While Sonic represents young boyhood—all over-confidence, bragadocious sass—Shadow represents maturity when he wasn’t ready for it. Shadow is suspicious of the world, and given his upbringing, he has every right to be. When we experience loss at a young age—before we can talk and think for ourselves—it makes healing from depression an arduous mountain to ascend. Add to that later moments of trauma, and it’s like you lose a foothold somewhere on the way up, only to land on your ass in the pouring rain, wondering why in the hell you decided this was a good idea in the first place. Get outside and see Nature, everyone says. Feel the sunshine! Touch the grass! All that stuff. Oh yeah don’t forget yoga, meditation—that will keep the internal horrors at bay. At least, for a little while.
What really helps in healing is connection. Connection in parasocial ways is just as valid as connection in the real world, though it is rare the two shall meet. I’m honestly just happy to be creating again, and finding meaning in my stories and making connections through it too. The connections I’ve made through seeing the Sonic Movie 3 actors, in seeing the passion the director and writers brought, ignites a fire in me that I’ve denied for a really long time. And for that, I thank them. Always.
My wish for the year ahead is to continue forging new connections, to strengthen the ones that matter most, and for me to continue on in my journey of self-discovery through creativity. Because at my heart, at my core, I am an artist.
And in connecting to my younger self, in writing again and seeing the response to my work, I’ve decided yeah.
It’s gonna be alright.

I was tagged by @go-go-devil!
1. How many works do you have on AO3?
I currently have 151.
2. What is your AO3 wordcount?
327,526
3. What fandoms do you write for?
Currently the most recent fics I wrote have been for Cadence of Hyrule but I've also recently written for Iconoclasts and Pokemon.
4. What are your top 5 fics by kudos?
The Ferris Wheel (Bugsnax, Snorplo) - 248
Gemini (Bugsnax, body horror) - 169
Imitation Beef (Bugsnax, continuation of a canon scene) - 165
Imago (Elden Ring, Miquella wakes up as a big bug) - 154
Field Notes (Bugsnax, AU, cosmic horror) - 148
5. Do you respond to comments?
I always try to, even if it's just to say thanks.
6. What is the fic you wrote with the angstiest ending?
oh god probably one of my bugsnax fics... bugsnax really was ripe for angst. Both One Last Dance and Weary end in the implication that everybody has succumbed to the snax. I tend to leave things on more ambiguous notes than angsty, so even if the characters are in a sad or desperate situation it's uncertain what's going to happen to them next.
7. What is the fic you wrote with the happiest ending?
Sleep is Dark Souls III fic that implies the age of dark is actually a good thing and Lorian and Lothric survive to see it after all they've been through. I know I have written other happy things but this one is very hopeful.
8. Do you get hate on fics?
I've gotten a couple shitty comments or ones where I was just like, I have no idea what you're trying to communicate to me, but they're extremely rare and I just delete them if I do get them.
9. Do you write smut? If so, which kind?
I do not write smut. Just not my thing.
10. Do you write crossovers? What’s the craziest crossover you’ve ever written?
Not often, I have a few Fromsoft crossovers but I did write a Bugsnax/Nier Automata fic that never got finished. That's Between My Teeth.
11. Have you ever had a fic stolen?
Not that I know of!
12. Have you ever had a fic translated?
Yes, quite a few. Ao3 user Dashana in particular has translated a number of my Iconoclasts fics to Russian. I will probably never say no to having a fic translated if it helps it reach a larger audience, especially because I tend to pick niche fandoms or subjects.
13. Have you ever co-written a fic before?
I have, with @malicious-fisheeves and with @wheeled-jack as well as some other friends who don't really use tumblr.
14. What’s your all-time favorite ship?
I really don't feel that strongly about ships much of the time but I do really like Wally/May from Pokemon RSE/ORAS and Gwyndolin/Darkmoon Knightess from Dark Souls.
15. What’s a WIP you want to finish but doubt you ever will?
Ugh I have this Mochi Mayhem rewrite thing in the works but I just can't seem to make any progress on it. I may put it out there unfinished but the problem is I have a big chunk of the beginning done and then a scene at the very end and nothing in the middle lmao.
16. What are your writing strengths?
I've been told I'm really good at building dread. I personally think I'm good at writing platonic and familial character relationships, and writing characters who might be antagonists but who are complex and sympathetic.
17. What are your writing weaknesses?
I have some trouble when it comes to writing incidental side characters that might serve a purpose for one scene but aren't really that important.
18. Thoughts on writing dialogue in another language in fic?
I really enjoy writing dialogue, it's one of my favorite parts of the process.
19. First fandom you wrote for?
I wrote a Rayman 3 fic about some OCs of mine probably back in 2003 or something. It was about these griffin-like creatures that had the powerups tested on them and it fucked them up because they were flesh and blood rather than made of cloth like the Hoodlum enemies are. They were trying to escape the facility they were kept in. Unfortunately I do not think it's still posted on my old ff.net account so it may be lost media.
20. Favorite fic you’ve written?
I'll always be extremely proud of Monarch Sunrise (the bugsnax timeskip cruise fic) for the sheer scale of it (as far as my fics go) and for all the help I had plotting and editing it.
This is a tough question to answer though because I'm really happy with many of them. I'd say my favorite thing I've written lately is Lyre Lyre, my Octavo backstory fic, because I think it does a good job of laying out his situation in a concise and entertaining manner, like he's telling this story to a crowd.
as for tagging folks uhhh how about @wheeled-jack @mumagi @disco-descent

Sorry if this has been answered before, but I just don't know where to find it... how is Coco like in a fight? What does she use? What is her role?
Because I get that Mochi is like the support that can deal magical damage, Lime is the main damage dealer who can tank magic, oscar is a more general tank, and i dunno, is Taffy some sort of aoe damage dealer? Or is that conditional? I'm curious to know how they're like in a group fight.
OOOO NO TOO RIGHT I ACTUALLY DONT THINK I TALK ABOUT IT MUCH!!!!!! i always mean to do some kind of like...poms guide to tcwg focusing on the guilds actual abilities, but i never get around to it (besides talking about mochi and lime always being able to kick ass) but yes!!! let me talk about a quick rundown of everyone else!!!
first off, in general, all the guild members have combat ability to some degree!! the idea is that they each would be able to reasonably handle themselves in a fight on their own, so to an extent they can all be considered damage dealers, but for members like coco and oscar they can serve a slightly more supportive role if theres other damage people like lime or taffy around!! but!! coco and oscar can also do damage!!
coco:
her magic item ends up being her shoes!! essentially, shes the speedy flash/quicksilver type of power where she can move very quickly. the mechanics of it is that when she activates it, she has 5 seconds where everything around her slows down A LOT and she can move normally (which then translates to her moving insanely fast in like 1 second in real time), and then a 3 second cooldown before she can use it again. as mochis magic grows, this power grows too and eventually she is able to upgrade it to 10 (maybe 15) seconds of quick movement with a 3 second cooldown.
in an actual fight, this can have uses in several ways: 1) dodging, obviously, or escaping. 2) power: sometimes she just straight up uses all her seconds to just beat the shit out of someone, which in real time translates to you receiving like 10 aggregated punches to the face all at once. seems like this would be less useful than it sounds but she has downed taffy more than once just by (what looks like to mochi and lime) a punch to the gut, but in reality was like 12 punches to the gut all at once. 3) thievery: VERY easy to steal shit from people when they have no time to react. an example of this is her stealing marshals stopwatch mid-fight and he doesnt notice until its time to reset it and its gone. ANYWAY she has a lot of uses!!!! when shes on her own she makes use of the power function more, but around taffy/mochi/lime shes much better served as a supportive role.
post-timeskip she ALSO gets the ability to ......how to describe this.....create platforms under her feet? like if she needed to to the top of the building she could just. walk. as if there was a staircase there. the platforms she makes last for ~15 seconds so theoretically she could "create" "steps" for the rest of the guild to follow
oscar:
in oscars case, he gets two separate magic items. pre-timeskip (or pre-arm i guess i should say), he has the cat witch's medallion-- mochi only has one, and it has protective properties so oscar is much more of a defensive role in the pre-timeskip!! she gave it to him because his reckless stubborn ass wouldnt stop going into the giants thicket and almost got fucked up by the forrest spirits more than once, so she gives him this as a symbol of "under the protection of the cat witch, do not fuck with"
but basically put its more of a shielding item!! its a little different than the rest of the guilds items in that it directly draws its power from mochis magic!! it creates protective barriers, but with oscars mind he can use that for more than just barriers (he uses it for all sorts of things that are not directly protective in nature. imagine a fight where the opponent can constantly put up and take down and move around walls that cant be destroyed. theoretically capable of turning someone to jelly if they get caught between them)
after amanita rips his arm off (rest in peace, oscars dominant hand), and after some time passing for the quest to take place, mochi gets him the arm of Camongyf-- an artifact from the kingdom of the first witch king that can be considered an upgrade from the medallion!! its actually not horribly dissimilar from limes m34th weapon in the sense that it was the first kind of technology/magic fusion weapon. basically can make use of either technology or magic depending on the situation, and its also capable of drawing on mochis magic to make those magic energy weapons mochi uses!! so post-timeskip (and post-arm) he has a lot more combat capability, but still tends to drift towards the sheilding/protective uses!! also, the arm he uses was once actually the crow witchs artifact, so it has wings built in that he can use
taffy:
obviously taffys magic is water magic, and he has a 100% combat role. as the water mage, he technically has unlimited use of water and ice, so he CAN do things that are not technically combat, but most of his magic use is in a fight. water magic historically and traditionally is meant to be elegant, peaceful, smooth, like water bending kind of magic. taffy however was never taught properly and the only way he knows how to use it is how he learned by experience and desperation, so his water magic is very rough, chaotic, unrefined, but equally very terrifying and powerful. kind of like the difference between a calm and glassy shoreline ocean vs the ocean in the deep sea where waves are 40 feet high and will kill anything above the surface
water magic can do.......most anything. whatever he can think of. he can make ice weapons, he can wrap you in water and suspend you until you drown, he can freeze you, sink you, impale you, force water into all your orifices and blow you up like a balloon if he wanted to.,,, he can ALSO do AOE damage just by the nature of water-can-do-whatever-i-want-it-to-do
this is also scary when hes paired up with lime (pre-timeskip) with the thunderbat, because it gets like that mechanic in botw where you use lighting weapons in rain/water and it becomes AOE lightning damage (of which doesnt hurt lime because of the resistance)
something also to keep in mind about taffy is that as the water mage, his magic follows slightly different rules than a normal mage, and one of those quirks is that resistance.......doesnt really mean anything against him. since water is considered a natural element and while CONTROLLING it is magic, the element itself is not ACTUALLY magic. ie, limes resistance doesnt play a factor in a taffy fight. those who cannot be hurt by magic can still be drowned and impaled.
that being said taffy is absolutely terrible at hand-to-hand. he relies so much on the water magic, even at close range, that if you can somehow get to a point where you can land PHYSICAL BLOWS on him, thats it. which is why cocos power is so good against him because shes too fast for him to keep her away, and when she DOES land blows it packs a mean punch
as far as a group fight, i havent payed much attention to synergy!! theoretically they would all be good together in different combinations and just using their abilities differently, but at some point i would like to see all of them paired together to see what kind of cool things they come up with hehe
#I NEVER TALKED ABOUT IT THANK YOU FOR BRINGING IT UP!!!!!#also sorry if theres any typos i bought a new keyboard and im getting used to it still#lore#bpp#text

A New Home Ch. 15
Various! Splatoon Manga x Skilled! Isekai'd! Reader
Wc: 1.3k
A/N: AVIATOR SIMPS COME GET YALL JUICE also I am begging for some good pickup lines/flirty lines. Please just DM them or something, pick up lines are my weak point www
A/N 2: Skull's tan line looks silly
Back to the start! Previous Next
You had finished the three volumes of Servamp that you checked out yesterday quite quickly, but it just met closing time when you checked the clock, so you were unable to go back and trade them for the next three volumes. You decided that the next morning, you’d make your way back to the library, and that’s where you’re headed.
On your way there, your tummy rumbles, and you remember that you haven’t eaten anything this morning. You check your bag, in case Milo had shoved some snacks in there again knowing you, but it seems you ate them all last time. Alright, not a problem, you could make a quick stop at a cafe or something on the way. You pull up the maps app on your phone and search. The closest one looks pretty cute, and decently taken care of, using the reviews and pictures as reference, so you begin to head there.
The name of the cafe was “Mochi-Mochi Cafe”. You hear the bell above you chime, and the pleasant smell wafts around the air. There are lots of people, this place must be a favorite among many. You spot lots of pastries near the front, and determine that this place doubles as a bakery. That sounds good for the future. You could easily drop by here before a battle in the morning, it was close enough to the Plaza. You had just intended on getting tea, coffee, or hot chocolate - anything to fill your stomach, so you think you’ll stick to that. You browse the menu and see that they have ice cream sundaes on special today.
‘That’s probably a bad idea for in the morning, right?’
You look around, and see that it’s actually something lots of people are enjoying at their tables right now.
‘Well, Milo’s not here to stop me, so…’
You order yourself a nice sundae with all the toppings you could want. The person at the front seems a little nervous, you assume that he’s new. He’s working the cash though, so there shouldn’t be a problem. You’re sure to tell him your order slowly and wait for him to catch up, repeating the bits he missed without issue. You finally place your order and look around to find a seat. There’s only one table left, so you make your way there. You sit and look around, bored. They’ve got some cute decorations. Lots of cat-themed stuff. Lots of “make friends! Talk to the people around you!” type of signs.
‘Yeah, no thanks. I just came to eat and get back to my manga.’
Your order takes some extra time, but you don’t blame them with how busy it is.
You thank them and begin to walk back to your seat, nearly bumping into a tall inkling, who seems to be wearing an octo tee and gold hi-horses. You didn’t want to look up, but you had to make sure it was him. No doubt about it. He goes up to the counter and you to your seat. The counter is in view of where you’re sitting, and you’re just close enough to make out his order. Which just so happens to be an ice cream sundae, just like yours. He did eat one in the manga, you shouldn’t be surprised that he likes them. He turns around, about to find himself a seat, but the cafe goes quiet after hearing a comically loud crash and a small “Carp!” From the back. A few moments of silence, excluding the footsteps of the workers going to check out what happened, then a shout of “Ice cream machine’s broken!”
It seems to not faze Skull, and he finds the only free seat across from you. He looks at you, silently asking if he can sit there. You nod, and are about to dig in. Before you do, you have to ask him why he didn’t go order something else, saying that you overheard him ordering ice cream.
“Why would I?”
“...Because the ice cream machine’s broken?”
“Oh. I guess I can’t have my sundae, then.”
“Nope.”
You both kind of look around awkwardly, you waiting for him to go order something.
“So you’re not gonna get something else?”
“I don’t want anything else.”
You want to let out an exasperated sigh, he really is airheaded.
“You know what? Here, I don’t mind ordering something else. It’s not like I was craving it anyways, it just looked good in the moment.”
You gently push the sundae with the unused spoon in it towards him, standing up out of your chair to order something new. You know how bad of a sweet tooth he has, so you figure this is your best option. He doesn’t even question it, quickly grabbing the spoon.
‘Man, what a lovable idiot.’
You stop at the counter, ordering a handful of pastries, asking for them to put three in a to-go bag. You figure you should be kind enough to at least get your teammates something small, they can warm them up later if they want. Before you can sit back down, the cashier calls to you.
“Sorry to bug you, but did your boyfriend want something else since we can’t make him his ice cream? We can do it for free, sorry for the inconvenience!”
Uh…boyfriend?
You look back at Skull, who’s still sitting at the table, readjusting his bandanna.
“Oh! Nono, It’s not like that. I gave him mine, so we should be fine. But if it isn’t a problem, could I possibly get a gift card for this place?”
“Of course, here you go. Sorry once again!”
You wave dismissively, assuring them that it’s no big deal.
“You didn’t finish it?”
“No. It was yours. You can have the other half.”
You look at what was left of the sundae.
‘…He already ate all the good stuff on top. Thanks, but no thanks, sweetheart.’
“Don’t worry about it, you can finish it. I already ordered a couple things for myself.”
“But I feel bad now.”
“It’s alright, promise! It’s not like I’m just gonna disappear, we’ll probably see eachother again at some point.”
He doesn’t budge. Not like you can just move him, he’s a unit of a guy.
“Actually, tell you what. Next time we see eachother, I’ll probably have my teammates with me. One of them is a big fan of your skill, so how about you give them a signature. Deal?”
“Okay, sure.”
…Yet he still doesn’t move. What does he want? More sweets? Does he just wanna talk? He’s hard to read.
The bell at the front chimes, and here comes our lord and savior, our beloved:
Aviators.
He spots Skull right away, he’s certainly been searching for him for a while.
“There you are! Been lookin’ for ya, dude!”
He turns to you,
“Has he been buggin’ ya? Sorry ‘bout that. Name’s Avi, but you can call me yours, sweetheart.”
Damn. Okay then.
You lean back in your chair and raise a brow at him. Seemingly unfazed, you offer him a hand to shake.
“Yeah, don’t worry about it. But you can call me,-”
He feels a note and card in his hand, and looks at it. He spots a series of digits.
“-Anytime.”
He tries to fire back, but his mind’s betraying him.
“It’s that easy to get you speechless? Thought this was your specialty, love.”
You chuckle at how easy that was, and you shoot him a genuine smile.
Picking up your stuff from the chair, you grab your pastries from the counter, and give half of the purple team a quick wave, before making the bell chime again.
.
.
.
Thank cod you planned on giving Skull that note, you were sure he was going to forget you, and you just wanted proof that you two had met for when you see eachother again.

Yall, just so you know this is anonymous, so I can't see who would vote no.
Also
Hi! I'm Craven!
I'm a wanna be artist with absolute crushed self esteem that desperately needs validation to get self worth and on the other hand doesn't believe that people's compliments are valid!
So basically= A self made self esteem issue!
I jump from hobby to hobby like a whore, making music, crotchet, animation, drawing, learning japanese (and failing miserably 😊), gave up on learning danish, learning guitar and keyboard, I used to make iron pellet art (hard to make with shaky ass hands)
Das me btw! In all my glory! (Wet socks in the sand, God fears me)
(me in school and my new jacket, old pic, Mochi laughed a lot :> )
Boring facts=
I'm 20 and a mess cuz since 2015 I've been simping over undertale like a Maniac (it's been better these days, but tumblr temporarily pushed me back into the obsession)
I'm a cat/ dog fanatic, but always crows before hoes
My favorite colors are purple, red, blue and black
I'm definitely demisexual polyamourous, but pan or polyromantic? I dunno lol.
Also genderfluid (altho i personally never really know what gender I feel like in the moment)
I have an absolute hopeless love for my aro/ace best friend who is called Mochi and she is the best and literally only real (real life) friend I ever had
Totally not my dumb brain starved for human connection and then immediately clinging to whoever is being a decent person to me
Luckily she is also a bomb person and kind so she doesn't use me like my other friendships XD
How did Red Mass start?
To get an idea of what my AU is, you gotta know how my dumb brain thought of it.
2015. I was absolutely sucked into Undertale after watching a german YouTuber play it, and then I started watching a certain Irish fella play it as well.
I started watching comic dubs of all the Au's that people made, faning out and just binged watched everything relating to it.
Then my family and I had vacation.
A trip to Rome (it was hot and awful, never again. Fucking 40°C celsius are you kidding me?)
It was a 15 hour trip (with bathroom/ smoker breaks)
And i layed in the back of the car, daydreaming about all those Au's.
It was awesome and cool and I slowly started to MAYBE get pandora syndrome of where I desperately wanted to be a part of those stories (I know. Cringe)
It got so bad that I maaaaybe cried in bed every night hoping I'd just wake up in the stories (but my life sucks so that also played a role)
So on that car ride, Luna lovania (god the cringe hurts me badly) was born.
A skeleton oc at first, later being an oc that is a fusion of Frisk and sans (which still is a part of Red Mass)
I daydreamed 15 hours + 15 hours back about Red Mass, it was such bliss (and even while we were in Rome)
And since that point, I have kept daydreaming every day for 8 years, and it became a big part of my life (as ridiculous as this sounds)
I just realized I might be insane.
Oh well
I will make a specific Red Mass post, explaining the story a bit and character introduction ((but not revealing too many spoilers since I kinda wanna make it into a thing))
I hope you guys mean it if you say you're interested :)
#Hi!#I'm Craven#And yeah it's a lot. Like a lot a lot#I hope you guys don't hate me for being a fucking crazy weirdo.#But heyyyy I'm in therapy. So hope that helps#Srsly tho#I hope I'm not the only person on planet earth that daydreams this fucking hard?#I mean duh it's absolutely abnormal but like... There's gotta be other weirdos out there right?#Why do i add so many tags?#Cuz i wanna#red mass#undertale#Introduction even tho I literally had this account for months now lollll#Well now you know my weird stuff and personality a bit#Ok srsly this is so many tags I'll stop now

Affinity - Book 1: Connections Ch. 01 ROUGH DRAFT
Story: Affinity
Author: affinitystoryblog
THIS IS A WIP
Summary: Sinie's every day life is about to change when a mysterious transfer student shows up at her school...A girl who looks just like her. Csilla Beauchene is a classy, sweet, shy girl from the city that instantly connects with Sinie Castellano based on their shared necklaces that are imbued with magical properties. The girls must now find a way to awaken their powers and fight to save themselves from the evil hunting them down.
DISCLAIMER: This work is written in a simple formatted way that may be kind of hard to understand right now, but this story is going to be a webcomic so this is rly only written for me and my beta readers to understand. detail varies in areas. thank you!
----------------------
Sinie wakes up from her sleep, recalling a dream she had moments ago. It was hazy, but the vision of a woman sitting at a throne weeping. Sinie didn't know what to do about this dream, so she brushed it aside like she did for a lot of her dreams.
She sat up from where she laid and looked at her phone. 7:15 a.m. Time to get up. Slinging her legs over the side of the bed, Sinie got dressed, brushed her hair and teeth, and put on her favorite crystal necklace.
[focus on necklace, Sinie staring at it fondly, rubbing her thumb against the gem]
"Sinie! Breakfast is ready!" Sheri, Sinie’s mom, calls from downstairs
Sinie heads downstairs and sits at the table next to her little sister Anna. Anna is already stuffing her face with pancakes, eggs, and bacon, while their father, David, sipped on his coffee while reading the news on his tablet. Anna muffled a ‘morning’ with a mouth full of food.
[introduce david and anna]
“Oh, looks like we’re going to have a blood moon coming up.” David announced, his tablet screen on an article about an upcoming blood moon.
Sinie immediately perked up. “WHAT? WHEN?? YAY!!! I’ve gotta get my crystals and tell Granny!”
Sheri set a plate of breakfast in front of Sinie and sighed, “Sinie, honey, you know I support your interests, but you also know how my mother…Overdoes it for her ‘holidays’.”
[introduce sheri]
Sinie furrowed her brow, “I think what she does is fun.”
“It’s dangerous and I don’t want you exposed to witchcraft.” Sheri said gently, pinching Sinie’s cheek.
Sinie sighed, sulked back in her chair and poked at her food. “It’s just a little magic.” She grumbled.
“Sinie.” Sheri said firmly without looking at her daughter. What she said was final.
[panel of an awkward silence while Sinie picks at her food, annoyed, while David awkwardly sips on his coffee and Anna has a funny welp face]
After breakfast Sinie walked out the door of her house and into town. She passed many shops before she met up with her best friend Daren.
“Morning!” He greeted
“Mornin’!” Sinie replied cheerfully
[introduce daren]
The two walked to the nearby coffee shop so they could down some coffee and donuts on their way to school. As they walked in, the girl at the counter greeted them.
"Hey, it’s my favorite Sunrise students! What'll it be today?" The server asks them.
“Morning Daisy.” Daren greeted her back. “Any specials today?” He asked.
“No special deals per say, but we do have a new pastry available.” Daisy said, pointing to the display case where many delicious looking pastries sat.
Daren and Sinie stared at where the cashier pointed. “It’s a German chocolate cronut topped with coconut shavings and two dark chocolate bars. It’s a bit rich, but the bittersweet flavors go well with coffee; iced, cold brew, or hot.”
“Hmmm…” Daren thought, staring at the cronut.
Sinie was practically drooling at the sight. “Daren get one and split it with me!” She said excitedly.
Daren chuckled, “You don’t want one?” They asked in amusement.
Sinie whined, “You know what bitter chocolate does to my teeth! Also I really want a mochi donut.” She had pleading eyes.
Daren smiled at his best friend and playfully rolled his eyes. “Okay fine, I do want to try it. But that means you pay for my coffee.” He winked.
Sinie nodded and smiled.
The two made their order and waited for Daisy to prepare it.
Soon she appeared with their order,
“Alright kids! I have three mochi donuts, strawberry, yogurt, and churro for little miss Sinie along with a cinnamon cold brew coffee. And for Daren, our new german chocolate cronut and his usual hazelnut macchiato with an extra espresso shot.”
Daren and Sinie smiled to confirm their satisfaction with their order, Sinie waving goodbye to Daisy with a smitten expression. They made their way to their esteemed private school, Sunrise Academy, Sinie sipping happily on her coffee. [draw hearts around her head]
“You know she’s too old for you.” Daren said, teasing.
“I’m a young woman.” Sinie stated through slitted eyes
Daren scoffed a little, “Sinie you’re in high school, she’s a senior in college. We probably look like babies to her.” He took a sip of his macchiato
She nudged him with her elbow, “Don’t act all high and mighty just because you’re already 18. We’re both in high school.” She stuck her tongue out as he chuckled at her frustration.
The two friends arrived at school, joking and laughing alongside each other, carefree. They said their goodbyes at some point as they had two different homerooms. Sinie sipped on her coffee as she walked to her locker. Once there, she got her things around for her morning classes.
Then her vision was cast in black.
"Sinie~ Guess who!" A high pitched, bubbly voice called out.
Sinie smiled. "Elise!"
Elise released her hands from Sinie's eyes with a giggle.
[introduce elise]
The two then walked to their homeroom class together, talking about manga. As they entered the classroom a tall, thin girl approached them.
"My darling!" She cried
"My honey!" Elise replied
The two girls embraced and rubbed noses as Sinie smiled beside them.
[introduce Heather]
"Ahem" A harsh voice broke up the sweet moment. "Are you girls supposed to be displaying PDA in the classroom?"
"Sorry Mrs Terris." The two mumbled
"And Sinie, are you supposed to have that drink? Throw it away immediately." The teacher demanded.
Sinie pouted, but chugged the rest of her coffee before throwing away the cup.
"Everyone take your seats, class is about to start." Mrs Terris commanded the students
The bell rang, morning announcements going underway. As the homeroom started, Mrs Terris looked at the class.
"So, before we start, I have my own announcement. Miss Beauchene, please come to the front of the class."
[show a figure of a girl walking to the front, don't show face]
Sinie looked up to the girl now standing in front of the class, her eyes widened, setting her sights on her.
[show face of girl]
It was like looking in a mirror.
Everyone then looked from the girl to Sinie, thinking the same thing.
"Please introduce yourself."
"I'm Csilla Beauchene, my name is the Hungarian spelling for ‘star’ but it’s pronounced as the name Sheila. I'm new to Sunrise, but I hope we can make a lot of fond memories together." She smiled kindly and bowed slightly.
Everyone looking at Csilla now looked at Sinie again, smirking.
"Wow, she's nothing like you, Sinie." A classmate said,
Sinie and Csilla then made eye contact, Sinie feeling her heart pound
"Thank you miss Beauchene. You may take your seat." Mrs Terris said.
Csilla took her seat once again, and class started. She was a bit far from Sinie, however Sinie was too excited. She had a doppelganger! Sinie began to write in her notebook, ripping out the section and folding it up into a small square. She handed it to Elise, who was sitting next to her, urging her to toss it to Csilla. Elise gave a thumbs up in acknowledgement. Csilla was still a little ways away from Elise, however the shot landed right on the girl's desk.
Sinie and Elise made a victory sign at each other.
Csilla looked in the direction of where the paper came flying, seeing Elise and Sinie looking at her with big eyes. [in this frame, you can see Heather staring at Csilla]
Csilla opened the note and it read:
"Doppelganger! Did you steal my face?" [a little doodle in the corner of a Sinie head with no face.]
Csilla glanced back at Sinie, then to the front of the class, making eye contact with Mrs Terris as the teacher turned around, still continuing with her lecture. Once eye contact broke, Csilla wrote a reply for Sinie, taking a hair band from her wrist and using it to launch the note to Sinie.
It landed safely in Sinie's lap.
"SCORE!" Sinie yelled.
"Miss Castellano, care to explain why you're interrupting my class?" Mrs Terris asked unamused
"Uhh..." Sinie quickly picked up her phone which was placed on her desk. "A game?" She smiled nervously.
Mrs Terris stared Sinie down for a long time. She then turned back to the board.
"Make sure you study hard on your own if you want to space out during class. I'm not going to be the one your parents yell at when you fail." She wrote on the board.
Sinie sighed, then quickly opened Csilla's reply. It read: "I'm here to steal your identity" with another doodle of Csilla herself, a little lacking in quality compared to Sinie's doodle.
Sinie laughed to herself at this reply, liking Csilla's response.
[SCENE CHANGE]
Sinie tried to get Csilla's attention all morning, however after that initial reply, Csilla seemed to ignore her advances. It didn't help that they didn't have all their classes together.
At lunchtime, Sinie looked all around the school for Csilla. She eventually found her in the quartyard, sitting on the grass with a homemade lunchbox.
"Csilla!" Sinie called out
She approached Csilla as Csilla took notice of her.
"Castellano?" Csilla asked
"Wow, no one but the teachers call me by my last name." Sinie rubbed the back of her head. "But hey! Wanna have lunch with me and my friends? We usually eat in the cafeteria."
Csilla looked down at her homemade lunchbox. She looked around to make sure no one else was watching, then pulled Sinie to the side.
"Whoa hey!" Sinie yelped
"Shh." Csilla whispered. "I know this may be weird right now, but I have to talk to you."
Csilla takes a deep breath.
"Would you believe me if I told you I've seen you in my dreams?"
Sinie gasped, bringing her hands to her cheeks.
"We've never met before, but I know you. I've lived your life through these dreams, your father is a hard working accountant for a small company, your mother is a preschool teacher, and you have a little sister."
Sinie gasped louder, "Are you a magic fairy!?"
Csilla chuckled and shook her head. "No, I just have a lot of weird dreams...I've recorded all of them in my dream journal."
"Wow! I have a dream journal too! I have a lot of intense dreams and I like to know the meaning behind them, so I jot them down."
Csilla smiled. Then she looked down at what Sinie was wearing around her neck and gasped.
She then reached into her shirt and pulled out the same exact crystal on a different necklace. Sinie also gasped seeing this, her eyes wide. She took off her choker and held it up to Csilla’s necklace. The girls held their necklaces closer together, a ringing noise beginning to make its way into their ears and the crystals began to glow.
Cautiously both of them looked at each other, then touched fingertips.
They suddenly both got flashes of each other's lives in their minds, all of Csilla's memories flooding into Sinie's mind and vice versa. However, there were more flashes; of two women, a village of mysterious people, a giant tree in the middle of a grove, and one of the women crying on a throne.
Once the flashes ended the girls gasped and fell to the ground. They came to their senses and stared at each other, wondering what happened.
"So..." Sinie starts, panting a little. "Lunch with me and my friends?"
Csilla smiled.
[SCENE CHANGE]
Sinie and Csilla walk into the cafeteria, Sinie scanning the room for her friends. Then she found a small round table that they were sitting at. She urged Csilla to follow her, and Csilla did. They approached the table.
"Guys! This is Csilla! Elise, Heather, you remember her." Sinie introduced, gesturing to Csilla.
Csilla waved sheepishly.
Heather greeted the girl with open arms as Elise pulled up another chair for Csilla to sit.
"She's new." Sinie said to Daren.
Daren stared at Csilla for a long time in awe.
"Don't they look so much alike!" Heather interjected.
"It's like I'm looking at twins!" exclaimed Elise.
"Yeah. Wow." Daren said, almost in disbelief.
"We also have the same necklace, check it out!" Sinie cried, displaying her own necklace.
Csilla was shy about revealing her necklace at first, but pulled it out.
"Whoa! Sinie, I thought yours was one of a kind!" Elise cried
"So did I!" Sinie replied
"I've had this since I was a baby." Csilla started. "I used to ask my parents where they got it, but they said they found me with it."
"Found you?" Daren asked.
"Yeah, I was found on the street by my parents. I'm adopted." Csilla replied.
Heather, Elise and Daren looked at each other for a moment in disbelief.
"Sinie, you're adopted too, right?” Heather asked.
Csilla then turned to Sinie with wide eyes. "You are?" She asked.
"Yeah! I was in an orphanage until I was 6, then my mom and dad adopted me. I don't know who my real parents are." Sinie shrugged.
Elise then gasped really loud and lunged herself forward onto the table.
"Could it be!? You two are long lost twins!?"
"Come on Elise, this isn't a movie." Daren said unamused.
"YOU come on! Csilla has the same one of a kind necklace that Sinie has, and Sinie has had that necklace for as long as we've known her." Elise said
"I've had it since I was born." Sinie chimed in.
"Plus you two look TOTALLY the same!" Elise said.
Sinie and Csilla looked at each other. They then looked down at their crystal shard necklaces, then back to each other. They stared for a long time. Csilla was the first to look away.
"It's...possible. But how did we get so far from each other? I just moved to this town from the city where I've lived my whole life. Sinie have you been here your whole life?" Csilla asked
Sinie thought for a moment. "Yep! Sometimes I still volunteer at the orphanage I lived in, it's right by the downtown park."
"Sinie likes to play with the younger kids." Heather said.
"I see..." Csilla said, thinking.
"Well, either way it is weirdly coincidental but I don’t think it’s anything fantastical at work.” Daren said, taking one last bite of his lunch.
The bell then rang, signaling lunch was over.
"NOOO!'' Sinie cried. "I spent so much time looking for you that I didn't get a chance to eat!!" she began to cry in Csilla's bosom.
"Please, let me have some of your home cooked lunch box!"
Csilla smiled pitifully at the other girl.
"Come one Sinie, you can eat when school is over." Daren said, gathering his things from the table.
"But i'm so hungryyyy!!" Sinie cried.
"Yes we know, you're a growing girl." Elise said, putting her lunch tray into the washable dishes pile. "But youre gonna get in trouble if you eat in the hallway, and we have to get to class."
Sinie and co walked out of the lunch room, Sinie sulking.
[SCENE CHANGE]
The day went on as normal, Sinie waving goodbye to Elise and Heather after school was over and they were heading their separate ways.
"Sorry, I have to help out at home today. I can't hang out." Daren said with an apologetic look.
"It's okay! Tell everyone I said hi!" Sinie replied.
She then took off to look for Csilla, looking around the school grounds for her once again. She walked down hallways, checking every classroom she could. She walked past the staff room, peaking in. She then spotted Csilla talking to Mrs Terris.
"Csilla!" Sinie called out loudly into the room.
Everyone in the vicinity jumped, and teachers jumped on the chance to scold Sinie for her behavior. Csilla said her goodbyes to Mrs Terris and came over to Sinie.
"Is something wrong?" She asked
.
The two walked away from the staff room.
"Nope! I was just gonna ask if you were free today." Sinie chirped
.
"Well, my papa told me to come straight home after school today, but I don't mind playing hooky." Csilla smiled.
"You seem so prim and proper, you sure you wanna disobey your dad?" Sinie said
Csilla giggled. "I just like to have fun. So what's up?"
"Well...I was hoping you'd go somewhere with me. I think...we can get some answers."
"Answers?"
"About us." Sinie looked her in the eyes.
Csilla stared back, then nodded. She followed Sinie out of school and down the roads and streets. The two walked for a few blocks before they came into a small neighborhood.
"Are we meeting someone?" Csilla asked.
"Yeah!" Sinie replied. "You're gonna love her."
Csilla felt a bit nervous, but pushed those feelings down.
The two came up one of the homes' driveway
[show house]
Sinie knocked loudly on the door.
A large, old woman answered the door.
"Sunshine!" She exclaimed with her arms open.
"Granny Witch!" Sinie cried, embracing the old woman.
[introduce Granny]
"I haven't seen you in a while, you grow more beautiful every day." Granny Witch smiled tenderly.
The old woman then noticed Csilla.
"And who do we have here?"
"Ah, Granny, this is Csilla! She's new in town!"
Csilla curtsied and said her greetings.
Granny Witch whistled at her sophisticated greeting.
"Hello Csilla. You can call me Granny if you like." She smiled, then turned to Sinie. "So what brings you to me sunshine?"
"Actually granny...we wanted to know if you could help us." Sinie said shyly
"Is someone bothering you two?" She asked.
Sinie giggled. "No, nothing like that. Besides, I think Elise and Daren would beat up anyone who messed with me." She said proudly.
"Actually, it's a little more...complicated." Csilla spoke, pulling out her necklace.
Granny Witch looked closely at the crystal shard, then to Sinie’s choker.
.
"Come on in, I'll make you two some tea."
Sinie and Csilla walked into the home, smelling of incense.
[show interior of home]
The two sit down on the couch, a small gray cat jumping onto Sinie's lap.
"Starlight!" Sinie exclaimed, petting the cat.
Csilla scratched under the cat's chin, smiling.
“A beautiful cat." She said tenderly.
"Do you like cats?" Sinie asked.
"My best friend is a cat." She said confidently, then suddenly felt shy, "I know that's kind of weird, but I don't really have any other friends."
"What?"
"All the other girls in my circle just kinda thought I was weird and stopped talking to me eventually." Csilla said nonchalantly
"That's so sad..." Sinie weeped.
“It's fine. Rosemary keeps me genuine company." Csilla smiled.
Granny then came into the living room with a tray of tea with cream, sugar, and lemon slices. She set them down on the coffee table in between the two rococo couches.
"So, what exactly has you two troubled?" Granny asked after sitting down on the opposite couch.
"Granny, could we be lost twins?" Sinie asked suddenly. "I mean, we're both adopted and have the same necklace. Plus we look exactly alike! It's the only logical explanation!"
Granny thought for a moment.
"It's possible, and seems like the logical solution, albeit a little far fetched."
"Do you know if we were ever separated at birth?" Csilla asked.
"I don't. When David and Sheri adopted Sinie, she was all alone at the orphanage. She had no other siblings...how were you adopted?"
Csilla explained her story.
"I see." Granny nodded. "May I see your necklaces?"
Sinie took her necklace off without hesitation, while Csilla hesitated a bit. She gripped her necklace and looked at Sinie. Sinie only smiled at her, convincing Csilla to trust her.
Granny took the two necklaces and examined them. she noticed the mysterious shine they seemed to emit. She then held the crystals close to her heart and was silent for a long time. When she finally opened her eyes she looked at the two girls.
"I cannot give you the answers you seek, however I will give you this: there are mystical properties about these gems. I noticed the power in your necklace long ago, Sinie, and to find out there is another piece to this crystal leads me to believe your meeting was nothing short of fate."
"Granny is sensitive to the mystics of the world. It’s why I call her ‘Granny Witch’" Sinie whispered to Csilla.
Granny handed the girls their necklaces back.
"I don't know what exactly this means, but I think this may be the start of your destinies."
"Destiny?" Csilla asked.
"What that destiny is, I cannot tell you. But Csilla, you were brought to Sinie for a reason. And maybe that reason is about to unfold."
The girls stared in wonder at the old woman.
"Whatever happens, however, I want you two to do what you think is right and never lose sight of each other."
The two concluded their meeting with Granny, waving goodbye at the door and heading to the bus stop.
"Are you sure youll be okay not going home right away?" Sinie asked,
"I think this will be worth the lecture I'll get." Csilla replied. She then looked down to the necklace in her hand, "I never thought my necklace could have mystical properties."
Sinie held up her necklace to the setting sun, looking at the iridescent gem.
"I never thought mine did either. I've never had magical power before."
"Aside from my weird dreams, neither have I." Csilla replied.
They reached the bus stop.
"You know your new address?" Sinie asked.
"Yes, I memorized it before we even moved. I think if I GPS it, I can work around the bus stops. I'll be home before you know it!" Csilla smiled.
.
Sinie smiled back and, just as they were about to say their goodbyes, an explosion came from around the corner.
The two girls screamed as the smoke from the explosion began to fill the air. They covered their mouths, coughing from the smoke.
"What was that!?" Csilla cried
"I don't know, but we have to go!" Sinie replied.
Then, before they could do anything else, the two were bound by ropes, crashing them to the ground. They looked through the smoke and saw two feminine figures walking towards them with ropes. As the smoke cleared, the two revealed themselves as two impish looking women.
The girls stared wide eyed at this. Fire appeared behind the women making her way towards them, only frightening the girls more.
The imps stopped in front of the girls who were trembling.
“Wow Calysta, that was much easier than we thought, these mortals are completely harmless.” The taller one cooed.
The chunkier, stout imp giggled. “They’re powerless, Myrtha! They have no magic!” She sang.
Myrtha clicked her tongue. “Tsk tsk tsk, looks like the mortal realm really does kill magic. All the more reason it deserves to go.”
Sinie and Csilla trembled, however Sinie tried to struggle free.
“What do you want with us!?” She demanded.
“Oooh, she’s got spirit!” Myrtha cooed again.
She reached down to grab Sinie’s necklace.
“Don’t touch her!” Csilla cried.
Myrtha looked to Csilla with a bored expression. Then pivoted her way to face the girl. Csilla was trembling and terrified and had tears in her eyes. Myrtha grinned devilishly then stood up.
“Well, this mission was way too easy and frankly, I’m disappointed.” She snapped her fingers.
From her side came another woman with a mask covering her face. She was completely silent as she crouched down to the girls and held her hands out to their chests.
Then, out of nowhere, a scimitar flew through the air and caused the masked woman to distance herself from the girls. The masked woman looked at the sword and then to the other woman that appeared before her, standing in front of Sinie and Csilla.. The new figure stood there as the smoke cleared, the girls catching what she looked like; tall, wide hips, dark skin, and black hair tied into two buns with long side bangs hanging down.
She turned to the girls, grabbing her scimitar first, then taking both Sinie and Csilla in each arm, picking them up and leaping into the air. The girls screamed as more rope flew at them. The new woman landed on a tall building, at least as tall as buildings were going to get in this part of town, and set the girls down. She cut the ropes binding the girls.
She said nothing as she grabbed both swords at her hips and took a battle stance. The two imps found them and threw more of their black ropes at them. The woman helping the girls let one of the ropes slither around her wrist then struck one of her blades into the rope to pin it to the ground, taking the rope in her hands and pulling Myrtha towards her.
Myrtha yelped as she was yanked forward. She reached to her side and pulled out a sort of mini trident. She swung at the woman, but was immediately punched in the face and sent flying.
Calysta winced.
"Yeah! Get her!" Sinie shouted.
"Sinie!" Csilla cried.
Calysta went to help out her fellow imp, fighting the woman on the rooftop.
"Sinie, what's going on?!" Csilla cried
"I don't know, but it's awesome!" Sinie replied
"Awesome!?" Csilla cried again.
"I mean, it's scary ‘cause I think we were almost kidnapped, but we were rescued!"
Then, Sinie felt a tap on her shoulder. The girls turned around to see the third woman, the masked woman, behind them. She waved a little at them before giving a sort of “magic fingers” motion with her hands, her hands starting to glow.
Csilla winced in fear.
“Uhhh, hey lady! We could use your help again!” Sinie called out to the woman who saved them, holding Csilla in her arms.
The woman was knocked back by the imps, her arms up in a block. She looked back to the masked woman who was about to use her powers on the girls, then back to her opponents. She then grabbed at Calysta’s ropes the imp flung at her and swung Calysta around, the imp colliding with her sister and the two flying into the masked woman, putting the three of them in a pile on the rooftop.
"Yea woohoo!" Sinie cheered.
The masked woman shoved the imps off of her, Calysta complaining that she could be more gentle. The masked woman stood up. She began to manifest glowing “needles” through her fingertips, the needles growing long and sharp at the tip of her fingertips. (picture this like claws) She lunged at the other woman, the woman putting up both her scimitars in defense. The two went at it, sparks flying between them.
“Yeah!! Get her!!” Sinie cheered while Csilla covered her eyes in fear, peeking through her fingers.
Then, Calysta snuck up on the girls and grabbed Sinie from behind, Sinie crying out. Csilla shoved the imp off of her friend and dodged Myrtha from her side. The girls began to run around the rooftop in order to escape the imps. (draw this in a simpler, silly style)
“Hey lady, we could use your help again!” Sinie cried out
“Fight to protect yourself!" The woman shouted, not taking her eyes off her opponent, still evenly matched with her.
"Fight!?" Csilla cried.
"How do we fight?" Sinie asked.
"Use the power inside you! Your crystals!"
Sinie looked down at her necklace which was resonating. She gripped it in her hand, concentrating on the power. She felt pulsing through her veins. However, just before she could tap into that power, she heard Csilla scream.
Turning to the noise, she saw the imps had captured Csilla in their ropes. At the same time ropes came around her own body, and she collapsed to the ground.
She began to wriggle around, struggling to free herself. She looked onto Csilla who was also on the ground, visibly trembling as the smaller imp crouched down at her side with a devilish grin. From her peripheral vision she noticed the lanky imp power walking towards her with an expression that made Sinie’s stomach sink.
“H-Hey! I tried but I could really use your help right now!!” Sinie cried, worry clear in her voice.
The warrior woman saw the two girls struggling, ready to be captured. “Shit!” She mumbled but in her distraction she was knocked to the ground by the masked woman. The masked woman slashed her claws at the other woman, however the warrior used her scimitar as a shield. "Use your power! Fight!" She shouted amidst trying to ward off the masked woman.
"Sinie...!" Csilla had tears in her eyes now.
Sinie looked back down at her crystal necklace, it was glowing. She concentrated on the feeling she felt a few moments ago, and felt the power surge through her veins.
"I feel it!" She shouted.
"Feel it in your heart! You'll hear the words!" The warrior woman shouted back.
Sinie concentrated harder, and then suddenly her eyes were aglow, and she seemed to radiate light. breaking free of the ropes, a light suddenly surrounded her.
[draw magical girl transformation]
Sinie looked down at herself, in a completely new outfit.
[full body view of her dress]
"Sinie..." Csilla gawked at her new friend in dazzling awe.
Everyone stood still for a moment in amazement (draw sweat drops on masked woman and myrtha and calysta with panicked expressions)
“She’s harnessed the power of her crystal…” Myrtha grumbled.
“Let’s just take the one who hasn’t yet and get out of here!” Calysta tugged on her sister’s arm.
Myrtha nodded, pulling a key from her bosom. She held the key in the air as it began to grow and sprout giant wings and grow into a long staff. The wings stretched out and had a sort of a galaxy pattern, as if the wings were a window to the universe.
Csilla looked horrified as Calysta dragged her closer to the portal.
"Don't just stand there, save her!" The woman shouted, taking advantage of the distraction she pushed the masked woman off of her.
"But how?!" Sinie cried, "I don't know how to fight!"
"Use your power!" The woman said back
"Sinie!" Csilla cried out to her friend.
Sinie balled her fist, then felt the energy of the crystal, it was still around her neck. she breathed in and out, summoning a sword from the crystal's light.
The imps began to retreat with Csilla, however Sinie was a fast runner, and caught up to them. With her sword she slashed at them, causing them to drop Csilla and dodge the attack. Sinie grabbed Csilla and took her to the other side of the rooftop. She then cut the other girl’s ropes.
"Sinie!” Csilla wrapped her arms around Sinie, Sinie holding her back. “What happened?" Csilla asked in awe.
"I don't know! But, Csilla, I think you can do it too!"
"How?"
"Feel the power in your crystal! Concentrate!"
Myrtha balled her hand into a fist and growled. “Grrr, this is so annoying! Why don’t you little heathens come quietly and we won’t make this any harder.”
Myrtha’s shadow then began to twist and coil, taking form out of the ground and manifested into a dark shadow creature.
Calysta giggled, “Oh are we going to beat them up?” She clapped, “Can I, Sissy, can I?” She asked excitedly. Her expression turned sinister as her eyes turned black and her aura manifested dark energy, forming around her body as armor.
Csilla looked horrified while Sinie looked amazed.
“Ready Csilla?” Sinie asked, looking down at the girl she had rescued.
Csilla’s eyes darted from the imps who were now using their own magic, to the women fighting each other, and to Sinie. She was terrified.
Sinie’s expression twisted into a sort of confused sadness. She shook her head, "I’ll fight them off while you figure it out!" Sinie said, charging at the imp sisters.
Unfortunately she was hardly any match for them. She was getting her butt kicked. (draw various panels of Myrtha and Calysta beating her up)
Csilla did her best to calm her nerves and concentrate on the power in her crystal. She began to sweat, her hands trembling as she held the crystal shard in her hand.
"Power....Feel the power..." Her voice also trembled.
The warrior woman glanced at Csilla who was struggling to harness her power, and in this distraction the masked woman knocked her weapons from her hands and kicked the woman to the ground.
Sinie was also not doing so hot, knocked to the ground, sword knocked out of her hands.
“Enough of this!” Myrtha groaned. “You!” She pointed to the masked woman. “Get this over with.”
The masked woman walked over to Sinie and crouched over her, pinning the girl to the ground with her knees on her shoulders. SInie groaned under her (draw her beat up). Then the masked woman placed her hand over Sinie’s chest and began to extract a bright light, causing Sinie to scream out in pain.
The sight scared Csilla, but ultimately triggered a fight or flight response, in which case she chose to fight. “NO!!” She cried, her eyes began to glow, as well as her body. a powerful light exploded on the rooftop.
[draw magical girl transformation]
[draw her looking elegant and cool with a full body view of her outfit]
Everyone was shocked, however Myrtha was particularly annoyed while Calysta seemed panicked.
“Dammit!” Myrtha mumbled under her breath
Csilla then formed her own sword and in one swoosh created a blast of energy to knock down the masked woman and the imps. She walked toward Sinie and helped her up, the warrior woman taking their side, still on the defensive for the others.
"Whoa!" Sinie had starry eyes, "You look so cool!"
"Hehe thanks."
Csilla then looked serious and determined, pointing her sword to their attackers.
“Sissy, I think we should report this…” Calysta whispered to her sister.
Myrtha clicked her tongue. She tapped her foot on the ground rapidly in irritation. “Abort mission. Report back to the goddess.” Her shadow creature disappeared back into her shadow while Calysta and the masked woman disarmed. Myrtha looked back as she put her hand on the staff, a slight smirk on her face. “Play again.” She said in a sinister voice
The three escaped, the wings that were still there swallowed up the three and then coiled into itself until it disappeared into thin air.
The three left on the roof hopped down onto the sidewalk, noticing people had gathered around a large fire in the park behind the bus stop, as well as a fire truck. Sinie and Csilla's magic wore off and they detransformed, causing the two to be very tired.
The warrior woman approached them. “You two barely managed to get out of that." She said to them.
Sinie pointed, "Hey you were no better! If it weren't for Csilla we'd all be toast."
The woman put her hands on her hips and glared at Sinie.
"Excuse me miss, but...what exactly just happened?" Csilla said, gripping her necklace.
The woman opened her mouth, but was interrupted by the voice of a man.
"Csilla?!"
Csilla turned to see her father getting out of his car and approaching her.
"Papa?!"
Her father ran up to her and hugged her close.
[introduce Richard]
"Young lady, why didn't you come home right after school? What are you doing so close to this fire?!"
"Um..." Csilla looked down.
Sinie looked back, hoping the woman would address Csilla's father, but the woman was gone.
"Um," Sinie spoke up. "I’m sorry sir, but it's my fault..."
Richard glared at Sinie for a second, but once he saw how alike she looked to his own daughter he was taken aback. He began to stammer for words, but Csilla spoke up
"This is my friend, Sinie. We met today at school.” She then downcast her eyes. “I'm sorry Papa…I disobeyed you to come home after school and instead went out with a friend. I will take full responsibility." She hung her head.
Richard, confused more than anything, decided to let Csilla off the hook with just a scolding and offered Sinie a ride, away from the fire.
Sinie declined his offer, saying that she knew a way home that was away from the accident.
Csilla went home with her father in his fancy car, while Sinie ran home to her own family.
[show outside of home]
She walked in the door, her sister immediately announcing her arrival.
"Sinie?! Oh my god are you okay!?" Sheri cried, running up to her daughter.
"Yeah I'm fine. Why?" She forced a smile.
"Steph called me and told me there was a big fire on your route home from school. You didn't get caught up in that did you?"
Sinie figured she shouldn't tell her mom about all the things that just happened, and shook her head.
"Your uniform is so dirty, are you sure you're okay?" Sheri asked, still frantic.
"Oh yeah, Daren and I were just, um, wrestling earlier is all." She smiled awkwardly.
Sheri sighed. "You're going to get in trouble for rough housing on school grounds one of these days young lady. And how many times have I told you not to dirty your uniform? They aren't cheap."
Sinie nodded as her mother went on, tuning her out. She looked down at her necklace. It no longer held that glow, but Sinie could still feel the power pulsating through it when she held it.

15 Questions 15 Mutuals
tagged by my lovely friend @vcaudley!
Are you named after anyone? - to the best of my knowledge, no. i don’t know if this makes my family more or less imaginative.
When was the last time you cried? - yesterday, i think it was? or maybe the evening before. was reading a fucking excellent fic and it was sweet, and aching, and hollowed me out so thoroughly i felt like an echo of myself and i had to stare at a wall for about ten minutes while i pressed down on those emotional bruises until i could endure it. fantastic.
Do you have kids? - i don’t have human kittens (i do not want them), but i do have two year-old regular kittens, nearly a year old.
Do you use sarcasm a lot? - yes. i genuinely don’t think i could function without it. when texting i’m more careful, because i know being deadpan can be difficult to parse.
What sports do you play/have played? - for enjoyment, or as a team-building nightmare in school? i don’t sport for funsies--though i really do miss swimming. used to swim laps and had excellent endurance. in school i tried to play basketball, because it was Indiana and i am tall, but...it was not a good scene.
What's the first thing you notice about people? - overall body language and tone of voice. comes from having to gauge emotional weather of those around me. thanks, trauma!
What's your eye colour? - Green.
Scary movies or happy endings? - what kind of scary? like, Saw films (bleh)? or psychological thrillers (yes please)? and who doesn’t like a happy ending (not necessarily like that)? you ask me, not enough happy endings; everything is trying too damn hard to be grimdark and edgy and it makes me tired.
Any special talents? - improv and memorising stuff. i’m excellent at memorising. i can also make hella awesome costume jewelry.
Where were you born? - here. which is not there. it is potty little South Central PA.
What are your hobbies? - reading, knitting, making jewelry, leaving faintly unhinged feedback on fic authors’ works; pondering the lives of fictional characters; video games, nesting.
Do you have pets? - yep--two cats: Mochi and Soba. they are brothers, and menaces, and they delight in driving me bonkers and i adore them for it.
How tall are you? - drivers licence says 6′1″ but my posture is absolute shit, so i probably pop at only 6 feet.
Favourite subject in school? - tech theatre, speech, sociology, psych. i’d love to say literature but lit classes in Indiana are a fucking joke.
Dream job? - voice actor, hands down. possibly writing for video games, or maybe researching weird shit online and getting paid for it. i’d love to write full-time but i sadly do not have the self-discipline for it.

𝐦𝐲 𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐝𝐫 𝐩𝐭. 𝟏.
𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭. 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐞𝐞𝐧 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐝𝐫. ᝰ.ᐟ
— 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚 𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐬𝐢.
16 years old (aug. 23), she/they, 5’4
She was my first friend ever, we’ve been friends since elementary school so we’ve been through alll the cringe phases with each other. She’s definitely my best best friend, no shade on my others but she’s the one who gets me. I think we’ll have matching bracelets, not sure what kind but we’re matching.
She has a hispanic mom who can be strict but she loves me and her food-!! omg!! Her dad’s black and he’s pretty tall and big and he likes me too, probably calls me by some nickname b/cuz i’m so close with Maria. And he’s the good cop, so if we ever get in trouble we’ll tell him, not her mom.
Her younger brother is Matteo, (NOT mattheo riddle). He and I are also close just bcuz of Marie. He loves food and is lokey a popular kid in his grade but he still hangs out around our grade and we text somewhat often.
Maria’s usual nicknames are Marie, Mar, Mari. She’ll be the type to call you out on your bs like Angie, she also makes a couple race jokes but she never means them. I’m her token white girl when she takes me to the bsu (black student union.) She also does volleyball for a sport. She’s somewhere on the bisexual/pansexual spectrum of liking a lot of genders.
She’s in all the same type of classes as me, honors and APs and she’s best at english and history. (not better than me tho, we tie or I do better… but no jealousy !) But she’s my fav, my homegirl and also a potential s/o… She also calls you “girl” regardless of gender, unless you ask her not too. And she also makes sure to switch up your pronouns if you go by a couple.
they remind me of : dark red, scarves, soft blankets, brown color palette, hello kitty, nose highlighter, a good book with a warm fire
— 𝐲𝐯𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐨.
15 years old (june 6), she/they, 5ft
She has two older brothers who are both blonde and pale like her. Her family is academically driven and she’s super smart, (honors & ap classes) especially in math. She’s pretty soft spoken and quiet and definitely a bookworm but you can have really indepth conversations with her. If you want to vent to her she’s awesome because she gives good constructive criticism and I have her sometimes check over whatever I’m writing for school or fanfic… b/c yes, i’m a fanfic writer in my teen life dr.
She’s super organized and has really neat notes, like angie, so if I ever miss a class I’m asking them for notes. We became friends in middle school, she was an 8th grade transfer then ended up going to the same highschool as me. I don’t really think she’s do any sports, maybe track? I think she might do yearbook or matheletes, a more strict club ig? Probably photography club and an Asian ethnicity clubs and she would def run a position, maybe secretary so she doesn’t have to talk too much. It’s not social anxiety on her part she just doesn’t like having to be told to speak up all the time. She’s also crazy levelheaded, all my other friends get passionate about stuff, but she’s chill.
She has cool pins on her bags too and she’s a thrift queen, i know me and the gals are gonna have so much fun thrifting !! And Yvette is aro/ace and rarely experiences attraction, also maybe demisexual-? I don't know a ton about nonattraction terms but she doesn't get crushes or feel attraction often and when she does it can be any gender.
they remind me of : light green, neat notes, mochi, organized pantries, sterile, white, pressed sheets, glasses with thin frames
— 𝐦𝐚𝐱𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜.
15 years old (oct. 3), she/they, 5’6
Holy shit- this girl… she has energy constantly. I met her in highschool. We usually call her “moxie” instead of maxine and occasionally “max.” She’s also an emoji abuser and she def has cheesy pick up lines and she sends you a shit ton of tiktoks and she uses the tiktok [proud] emoji a ton. “What’s cookin good looking? [stomps light up sketchers] [proud]”
She’s the one jumping around at parties and saying “oh my god I love this song!” Not organized at all… miss gurl is always losing stuff so I make sure to take a copy of all my homework because no doubt she’ll come asking for an extra. She does soccer, softball, and basketball. She’s pretty smart, she’s in only honors or ap history or english, she hates math so she and yvette make a funny pair.
“Y’all i’m not even joking- i just flunked that test, the only thing I got right was my name-“
She has a dad who’s like… really rich. She doesn’t really care though but sometimes she can totally forget how rich she is compared to others in the group. I love whenever she invites to do stuff because it’s always cool and paid for. She has a step mom she doesn’t particularly care for and is a little blunt with her but she’s not a bad person, just doesn’t like the step mom feeling like a replacement. Unlabeled sexuality queen, girls, guys, if there’s a will there’s a way,
they remind me of : party girl, champagne glasses, sparkles, gold, energy, party city, gold/silver tinsel
— 𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚 𝐝𝐚𝐰𝐬𝐨𝐧.
15 years old (dec. 3), she/her, 5’7
She’s so annabeth chase and angelica schyuler. She’s so SMART LIKE OMG. She’s all honors and then AP lab classes so if I’m not doing well in a class i got to her. She’s the smartest in the groups (besides me 🌝) She is mother.
She’s such a queen and can explain stuff so well, she wants to be a doctor or lawyer to earn a lot of money and I have feeling she’d be really good at either. Argumentative feminist queen, I am her #1 fan girl. And she’d look so good in a lab coat, like, YES MOTHER! I trust you with my life.
She’s also very mature and she’s the tallest in our group of girls, she has so much patience for putting up with Moxie and Maddy and then me and marie’s out-of-pocket shirt and a Diego and danny’s gremelin behavior. NASTY SIDE EYE. she literally looks you out of the corner of your eye and you *knowww* you’re in trouble.
She does volleyball (she’s so gorgeous in the uniform) dive and softball with Max. She literally has amazing fashion sense, all dark and pretty with her skin tone and her MAKEUP? BARK BARK I’M SO GAY. (and she’s bi!) And she gets her braids done and humors me when I ask her a ton of questions about the process.
they remind me of : dark academia, annabeth chase, cabin 8, thought daughter, red lipstick, angelica schuyler
— 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐲.
15 years old (mar. 21), she/her, 5’4
I know her the least since she and angie are really close, also Moxie a bit. She’s got energy, not as chaotic as moxie but she’s usually talking and smiling. She does volleyball and softball, she’s not as accident-prone as Angie but rarely a week goes by without her saying she hurt something at practice.
she reminds me of light pink glitter and kind of like warm sunlight through windows, not quite the burning heat of the sun but how it warms the wood if that makes sense. She definitely gives youngest sibling vibes, cuz… she is!!
Like I said… know her the least but she’s still important to the gang.
Volleyball and softball. She and angie are pretty close.
they remind me of : baby pink, crayola markers, pink eyeshadow, white mice, alice in wonderland, peonies

when she had first arrived in Dreamland, her and tiff were good friends and as time progressed she made good friends with most of the residents in Cappy Town as well as a few of Kirby’s dream friends! And despite knowing of Meta knight, she had never actually met him until about a year into living in Dreamland.
She’s also really close to Magolor! Treating him like an older brother.

A little further than the outskirts of Cappy Town/close to Whispy Woods

Rice and crunchy Peanut-butter😀 (yes, mixed together)
6. 🗣️: If you could cast a voice actor to voice your OC who would you choose?

10. 👑: Is your OC royalty?
No. Girly pop is broke as a joke🚫💰
11. 🗡️: What is your OC’s weapon of choice?

Probably acrylic keychains
16. 👶: Does your OC have children? If they don’t have any children, would they like to have some one day?
No, she does not have any children. But she does love kids and would love to have her own someday. As of right now though, she treats Kirby as her Son (This caused her and Meta knight to grow closer)
17. 🎨: What are your OC’s artistic skills? Are they a good artist or is art something that they struggle with?

Her friends🫶🏼
24. 🥺: What is your OC’s biggest regret?
Not being able to remember what her life was like before Dreamland
25. ⭐️: If your OC got their own spinoff game what would it be about and what would the gameplay be like?
It would probably be an RPG similar to Miitopia where instead of faces being stolen, it was dreams and they would replaced with Nightmares so now all of Dreamland refuses to sleep, causing everything to fall into ruins because nobody can think straight (it’d practically be a mix between Meta knight’s revenge, Kirby’s Adventure, Star allies, and Miitopia)
A Kirby OC Ask Game!
Thought I’d make one of these for people to reblog and send each other asks about their OCs. You can send a number or an emoji, I’ve included both for all of the asks here so people can send whatever is easier for them.

New Year Celebrations Around the World: A Cultural Journey, All kinds of New Year celebrations
Join me on a cultural journey as we explore the history and traditions of New Year celebrations in different countries. From fireworks to feasts, learn about the unique ways people ring in the new year across the globe.
today we'll be exploring how different countries celebrate this special occasion. So sit back, relax, and let's take a journey across the globe.
Let's start with one of the most iconic New Year celebrations - Times Square in New York City. Every year, millions of people gather to watch the famous ball drop at midnight. But did you know that this tradition actually started in 1907 with a giant illuminated ball made of iron and wood? Today, it's made of Waterford crystal and weighs over 11,000 pounds!
Now let's travel to Asia where many countries celebrate the Lunar New Year. In China, this holiday is also known as Spring Festival and is celebrated for 15 days with dragon dances, red lanterns, and fireworks. Each year is represented by an animal from the Chinese zodiac.
In Japan, New Year's Day is called Oshogatsu and is a time for family gatherings and traditional foods like mochi (sticky rice cakes). At midnight on December 31st, Buddhist temples ring their bells 108 times to symbolize purging oneself of worldly desires.
Nowruz is the Persian New Year and the most important celebration in Iran. It marks the beginning of spring and is celebrated on the first day of the Iranian calendar. The celebrations last for 13 days and include various traditions such as cleaning the house, visiting family and friends, exchanging gifts, and preparing special dishes. People also gather around a Haft-Seen table, which includes seven items that symbolize different aspects of life.
Moving on to Europe, many countries have their own unique traditions for celebrating New Year's Eve. In Spain, it's customary to eat 12 grapes at midnight - one for each chime of the clock. In Scotland, Hogmanay is a three-day celebration that includes bonfires, street parties, and the famous "first footing" tradition where the first person to enter a home after midnight brings gifts for good luck.
In Latin America, New Year's Eve is known as Nochevieja and is celebrated with music, dancing, and fireworks. In Brazil, it's common to wear white clothing and jump over seven waves in the ocean for good luck. And in Mexico, families build effigies called "muñecos" to represent the old year and burn them at midnight.
Finally, let's travel to Africa where many countries celebrate New Year's Day with colorful parades and festivals. In South Africa, it's traditional to eat black-eyed peas for good luck and prosperity. And in Ethiopia, they celebrate Enkutatash (which means "gift of jewels") on September 11th according to their calendar. This holiday marks the end of the rainy season and the beginning of a new year.
Thank you for joining me on this cultural journey. We hope you learned something new about New Year celebrations around the world. Don't forget to subscribe to our podcast for more cultural explorations.
