#they really grew into each other u_u

[movedtodykedvonte]

Have you got any specific hcs about queen and spamton?

I have a few as someone who is obsessed with the story of the cyber world before we get there in-game.

Most mansion guests are invited by Queen after their success is seen or she becomes interested in them. Spamton was unique in that he actually pitched himself and bigshot autos to her

She was of course intrigued by this overzealous barely 5-foot ad she never ever heard of and was like "LMAO Let's See What You Got."

Queen quickly grew fond of how bumbling but determined Spamton was, kinda like a Cosmo and Wanda-esque relationship (both dummies but in different departments)

Spamton wanted to prove he could sell to anyone even the Queen herself and was shocked she actually let him in. Thought she was gonna be more strict only to see her put on wheelies and fall face first into a plate of spaghetti code.

Immediately knew there was no way to fuck this up and kinda got a crush.

Spamton and Queen weren't a thing in the traditional sense, more so buddies that were odd and didn't question each other's oddness so they got along really well

Like if Spamton asked if a shopping cart could make it across the battery acid pool with them in it Queen wouldn't think twice before ordering a cart and having the Swatchlings set a ramp

Of course, there was a rumor on what they did on private meeting nights or if the gifts they exchanged were because of profits and honor the Queen or y'know...

Drinking buddies, Spamton has a surprising tolerance for his short stature and the Queen loves any excuse to pour a big glass of battery acid.

Spamton let her vent to him. It was rare someone backed up her feelings of not liking her position and Spam of course could understand and console her

Liked to take her on rides in his Cungadero and Queen liked how average it felt like she related to her citizens more. It was a normal night on the town with someone who knew it and truly lived as a cyber citizen. She liked getting stuck in traffic with him or him almost hitting another car. She felt vulnerable and not completely implacable but not unsecured. He liked that he was finally meeting someone's expectations.

I feel like the Queen was aware of him being off as an ad but she enjoys that part of him. Like it makes her feel like she's succeeding as a Queen when even the off-citizens can prosper

Was not aware of the phone and just thought Spamton had a finicky client thought she should've asked more questions when his downfall came

Honestly, he was more like her blorbo than anything else

Like dude could get away with a lot but he never pushed his luck

She was his girl boss slay queen u_u,

If she asked he would make a car model that's whole purpose was just to blow up despite that being awful for profits

When she had to kick him out, she offered a temporary apartment or condition to let him stay if he wanted to be something more mundane. For reasons, he wouldn't explain he declined

She lets Swatch sell the bowties cause she can't seem to justify completely erasing him from the mansion.

She also kept a pipis but you'll be hard-pressed to find where.

Spam doesn't rip the poster by his dumpster completely off cause he considers it the only official picture they had taken together

To be honest I ship and don't ship them. Like they weren't in love but they were two objectively weird people who think alike but have completely different backstories on to why. They could be open and be themselves around each other even if there were things they couldn't share with each other. It was more like those two weirdly intimate friends who everyone thought were a thing only for you to ask and they both fake vomit about it. They still joke about the idea.

I loved the new chapter of MoL it was so good I would have commented sooner but I bought a bunch of new plants yesterday but it was way to hot to get them in the ground so I decided to wait until today so I could work in the early morning before the sun got hot enough to bake me. I saw your chapter and desperately wanted to throw those plans out the window so I could sit down and read it all in one sitting right away, but alas, it was time sensitive that damn summer sun really is lethal 😔 ah the plight of a gardener. At least I had a super fun reward waiting for me when I got done. And what a reward it was! I loved yuuji's internal strife as he tried to deal with his morals and the knowledge that his sweet childhood best friend grew up to be someone who does so many awful things. Yuuji, it's not your fault baby you are only responsible for your own actions, not his... ah man, that's a lesson cannon yuuji also needs to learn huh. I am so glad he met choso I can't tell you how often I desperately want characters to just leave abusive relationships in fiction like baby get out of there yes he loves you and you love him back but his love bears rotten fruits. He's controlling and keeps you isolated and will weaponise any fear or guilt you feel against you. It is not a betrayal to leave him because he broke trust he betrayed you first by keeping you like a pet and slowly smothering the light in your soul. But usually, it's impossible to leave a relationship like that without help, especially when he controls the finances and your entire social circle. So I'm glad yuuji met choso, who offered to take him away. It still hurts though especially when I go read the yuuji files and see a version of their relationship that works because sukuna is actually willing to make compromises and doesn't try to steal yuuji's autonomy in an attempt to keep him chained. It's not easy for him, but the fact that he puts in that effort means he gets to be way happier than mol sukuna. God, I know that this is the angst fic, so we're not getting happy, but some part of me is still crying out to mol sukuna to change his ways. Just try. I know the world is awful, but you can learn to live in it side by side with him. I keep thinking of like exotic birds when they are kept in small cages without their social and enrichment needs met, look at how they start to wither sukuna, look how they stop eating and start to pull out their own feathers. That's what you've been doing to yuuji to the person you love best in all the world. He needs to be able to fly free. I know you love him and want to keep him, but you let your fear of losing him drive you to hold him too tight and now something beautiful has shattered right in your hands. If you had just trusted him he would have flown free and been happy, and always flown back to you. But you held on too tight and now he needs to flee. Ugh ouch 😫. Now I'm really worried about how their eventual reunion will go because that chapter count looks so threatening to me right now. Beautiful work thanks now I've got to go re read the yuuji files to recover. Maybe even lessons their relationship there is also so so good those silly boys pretending to be in deep hate even as they work to take such good care of each other and build a life together ❤️.

I understand the gardener's plight as I too garden u_u all my stuff is planting, now I'm just weeding, watering, and working on fixing my deck now 83 The outside work never ends!

But glad you enjoyed the chapter <3 even if this story is getting more heartbreaking by the chapter, especially next chapter where things are going to be set for what is to come ; w ; I've actually mapped out this story until the end, now just a matter of writing it all out! But I need to write some lighter things myself to recover XD The next Yuuji Files is coming up as is the last two chapters of Well Executed Failure!

19,20,24!!!!!! i wanna knooooow!!!

19. How does your OC behave when enraged?

hmmm i've never really thought about this. Crow Melusine is very… low affect autistic in the first place and more prone to fear and grief than anger. or to put it another way, their fight-or-flight response leans heavily toward freeze and MAYBE flight over fight.

very rarely, if they're pushed to the brink, they may yell - like at Fires after the Horticultural Show. but it's usually just a short burst that burns out quickly, as the other emotions of the situation take over. afterwards, they may regret the outburst, feeling like they lost control. showing strong emotions makes them uncomfortable. u_u

20. Does your OC have a tendency to get jealous? If so, how does this manifest?

i feel like i've answered something like this before :p as i think i said then, they know the situation that made them special to Mr Fires probably would never happen again, so they're not too worried about that sort of jealousy.

that said, they would feel some kind of petty way if Fires became overly preoccupied with acquiring some smart scientist or other, as in A Brilliant Future (ES not Irem), partly because they have insecurities about being a "real" scientist or not. they also… mmm… do worry a bit about what would happen if it came down to Fires having to choose between them and London/its power over London. they don't think they would ever win that contest, and it makes them very aware of… the evil they've already let pass, and what kind of evil they might let slide in the future, to get to stay in the sphere of its attention. if Fires would choose power over them, what would they choose over Fires?

on the level of non-romantic jealousy, i think they can feel sort of envious of… their own students at the university? being like… largely self-taught, they lack any real sense of community with others in their field or in general with other academics at the university. they don't really fit in or belong, and they don't really know how. so watching their students make friends with and help each other with their learning can kind of… well, it makes them feel some type of way.

it may also make them even more hands-off as a teacher - it's better in the long term for the students to forge those bonds with each other than relying on a professor who has no personal connections to help promote their students. they want their students to do well, but they don't feel adequate to help make that happen.

24. What is an alternative life path your OC might have gone down? How different would their life be if they'd made those decisions?

Crow Melusine has spent countless hours imagining (yearning for) a reality where they made the attempt to keep the hybrid with them in London. a life in hiding and fear, but at least they would have been able to hold their baby in their arms... these fantasies never seem to go far enough to consider how they would have kept it hidden when it grew to the size of a cow. maybe even bigger?

...how long could they have realistically evaded capture? maybe they would have mercifully been killed when the Neddies inevitably came to collect Mr Fires' stolen property. or maybe they would have been captured and locked up for their crime, or tested on under the assumption that they must be afflicted by the hybrid's moon-milk, to love it this desperately, this steadfastly. it seems unlikely they would have ever been allowed to see their child again, or that Mr Fires would have deigned to personally interrogate them. eventually, they'd just be left to rot in a cell somewhere.

(incidentally, they gradually spend less time thinking about this after Hope is born. it's not a replacement, nothing could ever be a replacement. but they have something to live in the present for. something that needs them.

Crow Melusine had two older siblings that died young - did their parents feel something like this, raising them and their younger siblings?)

maybe a kinder alternate path would be if they had just stayed on the farm. stifled the parts of themself that couldn't exist in that world, found happiness in tending the earth and marrying a nice [heterosexual partner] and whatever else was expected of them. but that could never have happened, could it? not really.

WAITER! WAITER! MORE DRAGON LORE PLEASE! 17 or 18 if u didnt do em already

17. an affection filled with sorrow

Fireflower is the son of the current mayor of the viillage, coming from a line of a respected and powerful family. Both his parents have always been pretty strict and have high expectations for him, but because of it he's been anxious and socially awkward since he was a kid. Because of that, he's used his free time to try to make friends of the other villagers, and in his adulthood he's gotten quite close with Pupa, known as one of the local punks. With her flirtatious nature she's been able to charm him, and now the two of them are secretly dating. But in the future, an unexpected turn happens: Pupa gets pregnant; These news would clearly enrage Fire's parents, but there was also a part of them that wanted to get through, so they made a place in a cabin far enough to raise their three kids. They're a happy family, but the ciscumstances and the secret kept from the kids as to why they don't see their dad often does make the situation pretty sorrowful.

18. an affection lost to time

Wasp and Lemon have known each other since they were kids, at first they were friends but as they grew they started developing feelings for each other. During their 20's (in the future) they decide to have a kid, Reviello (i exalted him u_u). Truth is that Wasp is not very responsible as a parent, which leaves Lemon to do almost all of the work. And slowly but surely, they realize that they're not really made for each other, mainly Lemon.

Can I request 17-19 with Neon?

Thank u so much anon, specially for asking only three because otherwise these will get sooo long :v

-And then dad told me that I was not allowed to get a piercing. Ever. But it’s my body and I do what I want, you know? Quite literally, too

Neon and Tonks sat on a bench in an empty corridor, the holidays were coming and students were busy packing. Like other years Tonks will cram everything in her trunk last minute and lose a couple of socks on her way to the Express, and like other years, Neon will stay with Nuria in the castle and let the days pass by until classes start again.

-Well you can always ask Jae, he’s known how to do them since year four. But if he tells you he’s giving you a discount don’t trust him, he’ll just give you a high price first and then the actual one so you think he’s being generous.

-Wait, how do you know this? Do you have any piercings?

Neon stares at Tonks for a solid minute before picking all her hair, moving it out of the way so Tonks could see her right ear, showing an industial one at the top, a black ring and a small diamond on the upper lobe and her usual black thick ring at her lobe, then turned her head showing the left ear, an orbital piercing with a small cross and lower on her lobe, again, her characteristic long earring with the three beads and spike.

-I don’t know, Tonks.- she says letting her mane fall down once again. She sticks out her tounge letting her see her last piercing before asking.- do I?

Tonks scratches behind her head embarassed before letting out a small “kinda forgot all that for a moment”. They stay in silence for a while before Tonks opens her mouth again

-So how did your parents react when they saw all those?

She wonders for a moment what to say. The truth obviously not, now’s not the time to open up about dear ol’ mama and papa in a hospital with no notion of the passing time. But saying the haven’t noticed yet won’t do, because they aren’t that hard to see, so instead she just says

-They kinda flipped out but they’re getting used to them.

And Tonks is satisfied with that answer because she just nods. It’s come to a place where Neon feels like Tonks is actually her friend, but she doesn’t share, it’s not her thing, and she doesn’t want her pity, or anyone’s, so she keeps her life as much of a mystery as possible. Then she remembers that year she got Tonks that silly present she found thanks to Peeves. But the thought of her giving Tonks a present that was laying around instead of buying her something now seemed cruel and lazy. Then again back at that year she didn’t really care much about them all. She really had changed huh. Letting out a breath she gets up and holds out her hand for Tonks to take.

-C’mon, let’s go get you that piercing you want, Jae hasn’t packed yet for sure, I’ll pay, it’s my christmas present this year

Tonks gladly takes her hand, a radiant smile on her face, but instead of letting go she uses this to drag Neon towards the common room

-So, do you wanna get any more piercings?- she asks as they practically run through the corridor

-Maybe on the clavicle, who knows, just to be that original

If there’s one thing Tulip learnt quickly, upon meeting Neon Welkin, is that both her and her brother were very hard to guess what they would do or say next. They were a Bertie Bott’s every flavour beans box, obviously full of beans, but you’d never guess what flavors are in there unless you open that box and start tasting every bean. 

Both her and Merula had looked everything they had found in Jacob’s room, studied every paper and knew that place like the palm of their hand. But they only saw that. The palm of a hand. Neon got inside that room and took a good look at everything before turning to Tulip and asking “did you find any notebooks? pictures? puzzles?” no, they had not. Just hints that apparently had led them nowhere, since Neon had been the one to enter the othe first Vault before them. She went to a corner, oposite to the entrance while muttering a sad sounding “dissapointing”. She had known Neon for a couple of days and she had managed to irk her with one single word. She picked up a pretty big wooden box and turned it around, broke a small piece from the bottom and a small notebook appeared. “Tadaa” she waved the notebook in front of her face “it was a cute attempt, what you and Merula did, really, very cute.” she scrunched her face in a mocking way, and now Tulip really wished Merula were here to wipe it off, but then she opened the book and showed Tulip a page, talking about some signs he had written and what it could mean, and her tone went from teasing to teaching, and they found some new information by re-arranging some hints. Truly and unexpected surprise.

This time, after two years in this room, they found something that wasn’t related to the Vaults. It quite schocked Neon so she didn’t know what to make of it. It was a picture of a beach. The waves slowly moving towards the sand, and a very pretty woman standing there, holding her staw hat so the breeze doesn’t take it away from her head.

-That’s my mom.- Tulip feels a similar feeling to whiplash. She didn’t imagine her mother to look like that. She didn’t really know how she imagined Mrs.Welkin to look like, honestly. It would have been like Neon, but she had heard before that she looked just like her that, so honestly, there wasn’t anything set in her mind. Still seeing the beautiful young woman looking effortlesly stunning would be shocking for anyone.

-I know this beach, it’s ‘Sainte-Marie’, we went there a couple of times when I was little.

Neon was looking at the photograph with certain sadness and nostalgia. Tulip could picture the woman holding a little Neon near the water so she could splash around a bit.

-What’s your favourite thing to do at the beach? - she asks before she can stop herself. As if Neon would say just like that. It took her a lot to tell her about her parents, she wouldn’t--My brother and I used to make sandcastles, they were terrible, but with some imagination they looked like real life castles. We’d go swimming, looking for seashells or any kind of treasure really, and after that we’d stay under the beach umbrella to play cards with dad and mom, I’d team up with dad and I din’t know what was going on, but we pretended I was the one calling the shots and winning. He told me if I won against him once I had learnt he’d build me a house there.

Tulip had listened to all that in awe, as Neon had been talking the corners of her mouth slightly went up, and her expression softened and her eyes seemed a little wet, shinning like a precious ruby. 

-A house there seems lovely.

And Neon bites her lip, because she almost says “then I’ll take you there sometime”.

+ + + + +

-Do you think the average person has the potential to be a hero?

She had read those words somewhere, she didn’t remember where exactly, or when. The question seemed to suddenly pop into her head as she walks up the stairs leaving towards the cursed door guarding the Vault.

The ice had spread throughout the castle, professors, and some students alike, doing their best to help those trapped. Suddenly she realized why that came to mind. Now their safety was in Neon’s hands. Risking oneself to protect others, wasn’t that what heroes did? They thought of what was best for everyone. Was she doing this for that reason, or just the selfish thought of finally finding Jacob, of finally seeing her parents wake from their slumber? She didn’t know. She was too stupid to have answers. 

Bill and Penny were right next to her. Were they heroes? they certainly seemed to have the cualities they did. They had agreed to help out of the goodness in their heart, they were kind, good people. She wasn’t that. She was mean and rude, and she got them to help because they had certain abilities she didn’t.

When they had finally managed to open the door, a knight with a sword came out of it, a gust of wind coming from behind him, and in two sweeps with his sword the walking armor does, Bill and Penny find themselves trapped in a chunk of ice.

Neon’s nose and lungs hurt from breathing in the freezing air around the room. She has some frost on her sweater, pants and face. She’s starting to get tired, and the armor is not. It’s not human after all. She’s been holding her ground pretty well if she says so herself, specially for a second year, but she has to stop it soon, or God knows what will be of her companions’ limbs if they stay frozen for long. 

Can an average person be a hero? Maybe so. To Neon they looked like average people, living average lives. Maybe Bill and Penny were heroes.

She wasn’t average, and she wasn’t a hero. And right now, as she pointed her wand towards the enemy she decided she was fine with this, because the “heroes” were in need of saving, and Neon was their hope. So screw being a hero, she though, she was extraordinary, a force of nature, unstoppable. And a silly medieval costume could stop two heroes, but it wouldn’t stop Neon Welkin.

[creaturefeaster]

How did Tanner, April & Leon all meet & get together?

Oooh okay they've got a pretty specific background, lemme get into it. This is a long one.

Their backstories have been juggled around a lot the last few years, so to anyone who knows them deeply-- this is their definitive story. At least I'd like to think it is.

So Tanner and April have known each other for most of their lives. They both grew up outside of Lystrike, a couple of hours off aways in a more populated (though still rather rinky-dink) town.

They were pretty close growing up, sharing the same taste in music and movies, similar hobbies, etc. April often pulled Tanner out of his comfort zone getting them into trouble now and then, but in turn Tanner tended to keep April's rambunctious tendencies from getting too extreme.

As for Leon, he was born and raised in Lystrike. It's a very boring town growing up, because there'd be like. Maybe 5 other kids close to his age and none of them he could really click with. He's a social butterfly for sure, but there was no real connection with many people his age in town.

Leon wouldn't meet April and Tanner until he reached his teens; His father would take the time to drive him out to the closest big town's fall festival one year, which happened to be in April and Tanner's hometown. They'd all be around 14 or 15 at this point.

Now, around this point, April was more withdrawn than normal. She was going through a lot at the time and wouldn't go out very much. Tanner's family would take him to the festival by chance the same day Leon's dad took him, but April would miss their initial encounter.

Even in their slightly more populated hometown, it's very obvious when someone out of town is visiting. Especially someone of a similar age. Thus, Tanner without his close friend and Leon the socialite he is looking to find people to connect with while he had the chance, it was bound to be that they'd meet each other.

Tanner is not much of a talker, especially not to strangers, but Leon with his funny quirks and his desire for friendship made their initial meet up feel rather natural. They would click pretty well, even if Leon did most of the talking. Tanner would spend a couple of hours directing him to the best parts of the festival, as he knew this yearly occasion like the back of his hand.

It was only a two or three hour connection before Leon had to go, but it would make Leon's whole week! Even if he had no real way of maintaining contact with Tanner, he'd say he'd love to come back next year. Leon is definitely someone Tanner would remember come time for the next festival to take place.

That encounter by itself wouldn't be notable enough to tell April about it, but the next fall when April had time to come out of her slum, she would be there alongside Tanner at the festival once more. Tanner, remembering Leon, would go pretty much every day with April while the festival was around (which spanned a week.) And sure enough Leon would be there again :3!

All three would be together for the first time. April would love his energy, and the fact that Leon took to her bluntless rather gracefully, which is usually a hard hump for many to get over.

Leon this time would have a shitty little cellphone device that he would use to keep in contact with Tanner and April after he inevitably had to leave.

Their initial friendship would be sparse. For a couple of years it'd be mostly Leon prompting calls every now and then, when the timing was right and the service was clear. Yes, even in a world full of magic, cell service still manages to suck out in the middle of nowhere u_u.

As they all approached their 20's though, things between them picked up more and more. Leon couldn't leave town for festivals any longer due to his father's poor health, so he'd call more often. April would become fed up with her home life, and spend a lot of time trying to convince Tanner to drive them out of town for road trips. He would oblige once, and they would make plans to go on a drive to Lystrike where Leon resides.

It feels far from home to April, and she loves it. She is more occupied by the location than she is with Leon or even Tanner, so a lot of hanging out during this time tends to exclude April. This is kind of a reoccurring theme with her, as they decide to visit Leon a few more times afterwards.

Eventually, fate would find that Leon's father would pass away, and his mother had already been deceased for some time, and so he was kind of left by his lonesome but with a house now in his name.

Ape and Tanner would later go down to visit to make things a little less lonely for him. April would be the first to suggest that maybe, they could all live together. She wants out of her house, loves this weird little town, and feels happier here overall. Leon is honestly totally down, butttttt. Tanner isn't as sure.

Now at this time, Tanner and April have been in an on and off relationship of sorts, so it's hard for him to choose what he wants here. He has a fine life back in town, but he knows how much April dislikes it there. But out here, it's so isolated and barren and he isn't sure if that's what he wants in life. Plus, what sorts of jobs could he even take around here that he'd be happy with?

Funny enough though, the helping factor in this is actually Frigus. He does tag along with them when they go to meet Leon pretty often. He would be the one to mention the old job board in the middle of town has had a listing for a job very in line with Tanner's interests. Which would be hunting, more specifically the job would be population control.

It'd take a lot more convincing from all angles, but Tanner eventually caves, and decides fuck it, why not. The bills are cheap, the house is already paid in full and Leon isn't going to be able to use a 2 bedroom + basement house to it's fullest. So again, why not?

...And so the occasional visitors would eventually become permanent residents of Lystrike! April can feel like herself here, Leon is no longer lonely, and Tanner gets to do work he enjoys. Plus, they all go on road trips to shitty concerts and other events on the occasion, when the quiet town of Lystrike gets a little too boring.

That's their story.

You said you would write requests so here I am on my knees asking u_u I want some sort of angst with a happy ending or hurt comfort from kaeya or Diluc??? I just 🥺🥺🥺🥺

☁️ ┊͙ ୭̥⋆*｡ a/n: of course!! :D i’ll do both! i love writing them!! i hope you enjoy! :) i hope this was good enough!! :)

🔥┊͙ ୭̥⋆*｡ Diluc Ragnvindr

> You were having a day, and Diluc could tell. As he grew closer to you, he learned your mannerisms and could read you like a book.

“Is... everything alright?” He asked you one night. The two of you were alone in Angel’s Share, and you had come to get away from your troubles and calm down, even if you weren’t planning on having any drinks.

“...Everything’s perfectly fine.” You looked up at him, picking your head up and meeting his eyes. He studied you. Even with sadness laden on your features, you looked beautiful to him.

“If you say so.” He said in return, going back to the glass he was cleaning. Silence blanketed the two of you for a few moments, before you finally broke it.

“I lied.” You said softly. “I’m not alright. Nothing is alright right now.” Your voice came out as a soft whisper. It was laced with pain- pain that stabbed him in the heart sharper than a knife. He kept his straight face, though, not even looking up from his glass.

“Would you like to talk about it?” He asked you. You shrugged.

“Not really. Can I just... have a hug?” You asked, looking up at him. You knew he would probably say no. Even if you two were friends, he was never affectionate with you, at least physically.

You waited for a few moments, but he didn’t respond. Silence filled the bar, broken only by the sound of his cloth rubbing against the wine glass he was cleaning. The squeak of the wet cloth filled your mind as you put your forehead back down on the counter, seeds of disappointment growing in your stomach, blooming into tall trees of heartbreak.

The silence didn’t last long, though. In a moment, you felt a pair of strong arms wrap themselves around you. A weight pressed itself against your neck, and you could feel warm breath tickling your skin. Fluffy red hair touched your jawline, and your senses were filled with the scent of wine and old books. No words were said. Nothing was spoken. All you did was turn around in your chair and wrap your arms around his neck.

The two of you stayed that way for quite a while, just existing in each other’s warmth. Diluc was on cloud nine. He had dreamed of this moment ever since he met you. The way you felt in his arms made his heart soar. You fit perfectly in his grasp. The both of you fit together like a puzzle, and he knew this was meant to be. You were so soft, so comfy to hug.

“...Are you okay now?” He asked, his breath tickling your ear. You shook your head.

“Don’t let go of me. Please.” You pleaded. His response came in the form of a tighter hug and the gentlest, most unnoticeable kiss on the forehead.

Maybe your day wasn’t terrible after all.

🧊┊͙ ୭̥⋆*｡Kaeya Alberich

> The fight stung, and it stung hard.

Of course, neither of you wanted it to get out of hand, but it did. Until you were hurling insults, sharp as knives, at each other, stabbing each other with your words and cutting each other with what you said. Things lasted until you ran out of the house in tears, and Kaeya, not even crying, went to the bar to drink off his pain as he usually did.

The fight was all his fault. He was never open with you. He would always hide his true self behind a wall of smoothness and flirting. You were fed up. You two dated for a year. He should be comfortable being open. So you yelled. He only responded with a cool smirk and a kiss to your lips, complimenting how cute you were when you yelled. And this only made you yell louder.

Now, you crumpled beneath a tree, sobbing your eyes out. Were you not good enough for him? Was that why he was never open with you? Guilt filled you to the brim, spilling over in the form of tears rushing down your cheeks. If only he knew how you felt. You tried to explain that to him, but he wouldn’t listen. He never listened.

Meanwhile, Kaeya downed his third glass of wine that night. For him, it wasn’t that much. He was used to drinking much more, and he probably would. After all, his guilt hung high in his mind. He felt horrible. You were mad at him, and it was his fault, and he knew that. If only he knew how to show it. If only he knew how to open himself up. After all the abandonment and hurt he’s been through, it seemed only natural to wall himself up, to protect himself the best he could. He just didn’t know how much that would hurt the ones he loved.

Minutes turned into hours, and hours turned into days. Days without speaking turned into a week. A week, and you couldn’t take it anymore. Your boyfriend of a year hadn’t so much as spoken to you in a week after your fight. You were upset and heartbroken and hurting. And so, you decided to visit his brother and your close friend, Diluc.

“How is Kaeya doing?” You asked in a sarcastic tone, knowing the answer would probably be something like “he’s doing well” or “he’s great”. You knew the brothers never got along well, but Diluc still saw him around.

“You haven’t heard?” He responded. His words spilled confusion in your mind.

“Heard what?” Suddenly, you grew worried. Even if you two had fought, and he was ignoring you, you still loved him quite dearly.

“He left on an expedition to Dragonspine, and hasn’t been back in about a week.” He looked at you, furrowing his eyebrows. “Why weren’t you aware? Didn’t you know? He is your lover after all.”

“I- No. I didn’t know. We.. had a fight. I’ll talk to you later. Thank you.” You said quietly. You just needed some space to think this over. Diluc only nodded, understanding completely, as you walked out.

So he just left you. Just like that. He just got up and dipped on an expedition without so much as letting you know. You sunk to your knees and sobbed.

Just then, a pair of familiar looking boots entered your peripheral vision, shielded by your hands over your eyes. You looked up to meet the shiny blue eye you knew very well. His cool smirk was gone, but it was Kaeya. And man, has he looked better.

He was limping and supporting his weight on the tree you sat beneath. His lip was split, and you could see a massive gash in his chest, the blood dotting through the bandage he had wrapped around him. In his hands, though, he held a bouquet of those pretty blue plants only found on Dragonspine. He knew how much you loved them, but you could never find them because Dragonspine was too scary a place and you didn’t want to go.

You didn’t know what to feel. You wanted to yell at him for leaving, yell at him for not contacting you, hug him and kiss him and thank him for being safe and thank him for the flowers, and you wanted to cry seeing his injuries. The only thing you could bring yourself to do was stand up, fall silent, and wrap him in the tightest hug imaginable.

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry for everything. I... will work on being more open. That’s a promise, my love.” He whispered, threading his fingers in your hair. It was a short apology, but it was the best he was able to give.

The flowers dropped in your arms, but the only thing you wanted in your arms at that moment was your loving boyfriend Kaeya, back and ready to try his best.

And so he kept his arms around you for quite a while, his head buried in your hair, ready to try again, ready to be worthy of such an amazing lover as you.

ch 10 shaman king

ah it feels so long since i last read shaman king ;o;)/ things have been very busy and will keep being busy, but i hope to get the chance to read more in the. middle of chaos lol

look at ren and bason ;o;)/ they aren’t in this chapter but really happy to seem them regardless : )

ANNA!! also i love the shading of this a lot!

yoh looks very cute here. poor manta is just getting shocked every day by yoh and his world 

looooove this “throw back” and seeing all the previous ghosts that yoh helped! its funny to know that they literally just gossip with what i assume anyone that can see them ??? or maybe anna introduced herself and they started speaking about yoh then? either way its kinda funny to imagine

this the day that manta has become an errand boy by anna U_U)/

poor manta and his cheek X_X

yoh looks very cute here. 

amazing that yoh and anna saw each other like months ago?? and he didn’t know that anna and him are engaged till right now. can you imagine learning about this while you’re recovering from a terrible smack down from another shaman that you wanted to befriend??? :,0c yoh never gets a break and manta too ofc

manta knows what’s up. and yoh is so stubborn its kinda funny to think of considering how laid back he is. he has strong morals and strong sense of self too.

poor ami :,( lol but this was very smart of anna too at the same time

not only did yoh learn he gained a fiance he also learned that anna is going to be just as stern and strict at his grandpa AND she already wants to start her serious training that probably going to be very difficult. but of course necessary for his growth as a shaman.

nice!! very cool scene! its kinda cute here thinking that anna is pretty much saying “we are in this together” without fully saying it. and that anna will and has kept up with yoh’s adventures before coming, she does her homework.

VERY COOL SCENE!!!

lol

it’s so great to see anna : )

SPOILER SPOILERS:

tbh i didn’t really know how to feel about anna at the beginning of the anime. but she really grew on me and i love how badass and “no shits taken” she is. as manta said, shes someone that yoh for sure needs on his side to become shaman king. also my heart melted over yoh and anna’s backstory :,)

For your ship thing, how about:

Beloterra (as in belos X terra, I think it's got potential)

Squirrelcrow (Squirreltail X Crowfeather)

Whitestorm X Tigerclaw

Also Jayce X Vic Vs Jayce X Mel?

Beloterra ??/10 uh well I had to mull over this one for a bit ngl. I've looked into it a bit. There was one post that explained and elaborated really well on why they'd make a good pair and it was good! But Belos hates witches. Regardless of how much they may have a good connection with him. But now, if we ignore that part.. Honestly I really have a hard time imagining Belos in any romance? Also Ironically despite being an actual White cracker™ who probably comes from the age that sees homosexuality as a mental illness, I cannot see him liking women lmao. Take this lightheartedly please. But in more seriousness, to me, Belos as a character truly shines in other relationship dynamics. Familial, authorial, antagonistic and so on. There's much more interesting stuff to be done with him and his personal relationships and I just can't really imagine the kind of person in the show that he'd fall for. Ngl I'd probably be annoyed if they gave him a romance in the show (obv. Depends alot on how it's done but Idk). This isn't me going "Bad guys don't get to have romance u_u" at all, this is just me saying I'm not sure how I'd vibe with shipping culture™ + Belos.

But I must admit, I think unrequited romances would be kinda fascinating for him. Either in the case that someone likes him and he doesn't like him back, or the other way around. Just something.. Complicated, ykno?

Anyway, despite that, I definitely accept this ship into my house 👍

Squirrelcrow 5/10 (I think you meant Squirrelflight? Bc I can't really think of who the other one there would be otherwise. Correct me if I'm wrong ofc). Nah. Don't see the appeal. I get that people make the argument that she and Crow coulda played off each other much nicer and had an interesting relationship, also minus the age gap Squilf has to Bramble, which is Def a plus. But meh. I'm not feeling it at all. I see your argument and I can respect it but I don't care about this ship at all. I really really don't think Crowfeather would be much better of a boyfriend than Brambly. Not as bad probably! But not good enough in my eyes. I think either someone else entirely or just. Let her be single and heal. With her friends and family. Please. I don't feel super strongly about this in the negative way either tbh but I definitely don't care for it at all. I ignore it.

Whitetiger 8/10 yes. Nods. I'm not like Uber invested in this ship but I definitely think it's a good one, especially considering what other ships Tigerclaw has in the Fandom.. *side eyes them in mild discomfort*. Anyway. I'm not sure if I have much to comment? I think it's cool how people noticed these two as an item bc before being introduced to the ship I wasn't aware they basically grew up together?? That's dope! I love their sort of. Relationship development I guess? At least as much as the fans have expanded upon it

Jayce x Vic vs Jayce x Mel - okay so. I think I've touched upon this briefly when I mentioned my aro(spec) hcs, and Mel was on it. I don't wanna say I dislike Mel and Jayce's relationship but it's really bland fr. It's painfully obvious how this is just "Man like woman, obviously!". Like Idk if it was just me but right up until they boned i was 90% convinced she'd turn out to be a twist villain or stab him in the back or just, like have some. Suspicious things going on. Her interest and interactions with Jayce were not romantic at all imo, if anything I'd probably have to say it just seemed like pure lust. Which, good for them I guess, that's valid too. But you get what I mean?? There were no sparks. They sure had A dynamic, but not a romantically coded one. To me at least.

With that said I'm not gonna protest the fact that they're together, even though I'm just facepalming at it. I'll just let it exist since clearly that's how they wanna tell this story and apparently one gay couple is their maximum quota for this show (looks at Vi and Cait). However, Jayce and Viktor have an infinitely more interesting dynamic and a much more genuine feeling relationship. They actually seem to have a connection and care for each other as people, to an extent I don't see with Mel. To me it felt like she was more interested in Jayce for his inventions. I honestly do with it woulda been Jayce and Viktor, and not just bc "Gay uwu" but genuinely bc it would be very engaging to explore their relationship develop. Ofc, relationships don't need to be romantic to be engaging. But just, with Jayce being a poster boy of the upper class and Viktor rising up from the dumps, it would create interesting conflict for them! Explore that please! It was so cool seeing them work together bc they play off of each other so well! And they were given actual bonding moments!!!!

I'll just say. They both exist to me, in my heart. The way I see it, Jayce and Mel are queerplatonic and Viktor has Feelings™ for Jayce, who is probably a little suppressed about his own feelings for him. Ofc it does clearly seem that he cares for Mel as well. I don't feel annoyed enough to gloss over that. But to me this is how it works and I'll be fine if they explore Viktor and Jayce's relationship in a meaningful way later on.

Also I'm not hating on Mel btw. Tbh I kinda wish she'd turned out to be a bit more devious, that woulda been interesting to me. I feel like she was only allowed to be interesting towards the end of the season (before that she was honestly just "Hot,,, lady👀👀support Jayce inventions??? She is mysterious and graceful,, in a hot way")

Can we get some relationship HCs for our beloved shark man Kisame? u_u

a/n: sure bby I’ll try my best - kind of turned into how you met and progressed type headcanons :)  warnings: none 

-This man is one unique man. And I don’t mean because shark man he just has such a very go with the flow kind of world view. Has no strong feelings towards anything that isn’t for his own benefit. Not to say he is greedy, just that he knows how the world works - for people like him anyway.

-Meeting you was just a pleasant surprise along the way. He met you in some run down tavern which he stepped into to get out of the rain and hopefully some peace and quiet. Shelter he got but after taking a seat in the back, quiet he did not get.

-He spotted you arguing with some deadbeat. He didn’t really hear what the argument was about - he didn’t care but it was noisy. You were giving the man you were arguing what was what when he made to hit you. 

-In an instant Kisame was there, the mans wrist in his grasp. ‘Wouldn’t mind stepping outside would you? I came here for some peace and quiet.’ Then he, quite literally, throws him out the door. He turned back to you and you were seething. It was amusing really. 

- ‘You’re welcome.’ He said, heading back to his seat, hoping for quiet. But you followed him and you were mad! ‘Who do you think you are coming over like that? I had that under control.’ 

-He turned to you with a bemused smile. Okay this was interesting. Not a lot of people had the guts to arc up to him like this - given his appearance. ‘I came here for some quiet and the disturbance irritated me.’ Kisame shrugged. ‘So that gives you the right to just step in?’ You replied. 

- ‘How about this: you stop yelling at me and I’ll buy you a drink.’ He said giving you a smile. You frowned then reluctantly sat. ‘Two drinks.’ You argued and he agreed. He doesn’t really know how but once you calmed down the two of you got to talking. He enjoyed your company. 

-On a whim he asked you to travel with him. You implied you had better things to do than follow some random around the continent. But in the morning you met him at the spot and went with him. You were prickly but you warmed up to him eventually. 

-The two of you grew close quickly and eventually started your relationship. To his surprise you wanted to know about his past. So he told you, expecting you to run off once you heard. To your surprise you emphasised with a lot of his past. You thought it was horrible he had gotten to that point. He began more enraptured by you. 

-The first time he kisses you it’s after an argument. Not a heavy one - you were just irritable from not sleeping well. You didn’t fare well outdoors without a bed but still you agreed to travel with him. He caught you off guard but it was a welcome surprise. 

-After that the two of you were inseparable. Nothing in the world mattered but the two of you - keeping each other alive and safe. And you became vagabonds, travelling the different nations, looking for peace and quiet. All you needed was each other. 

[canon-notcanon-warriorcats]

I'm happy I grew up on warrior cats because now that I'm getting older I know how to take disappointment really well. They also taught me to find wonder and excitement in the little things, like family members acknowledging each other. It's single-handedly the cause of my low standards.

it’s such a blessing and a curse u_u

People What Aint From Round Here Is The Problem...

So I just watched Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood and I have THOUGHTS:

Ive read a few reviews&ruminations on this film at this point and I can’t believe that none of them got(or at least, mentioned explicitly) the primary thesis of this movie, spcl given that Tarentino flatly states it out the mouth of his primary protagonist within, like, the first 15-20mins of the film: “...most important thing in this town is when you’re making money you buy a house in town. You don’t rent... Hollywood real estate means you live here. You’re not just visiting, not just passing through. You fuckin live here.” i.e., the most important thing in Hollywood, to Hollywood, is the people FROM Hollywood; Everyone else is just a filthy, trouble-making tourist or profiteer who is “Passing Through” and “Doesnt Get It” and  “Is Fucking It Up”(It being the film industry), and probably “Secretly Hates Movies”. There are places and aspects of this movie that are basically a Nativist Angeleno rant, written by a life-long Angeleno film-nerd-turned-film-maker, against Hollywood’s critics(and his critics which he just totally conflates with the former), and probably non-Angelenos(and non-Californians?) in general.

There are two ways to read this thesis: Straight and Subverted/Satirized.

The evidence for reading it straight is pretty plentiful. Lots of reviews have puzzled at where the line connecting the constant hippie-bashing, the weird focus on knocking Polanski’s Polishness & preference for shooting in London, and the inexplicable pot-shot at Bruce Lee is, and I think this is it. “The Hippies” are repeatedly presented as a corrupting force: digging through trash, living in squalourous filth at the Spahn Ranch dragging members of “Old Hollywood” like its owner into it with them, selling drugs, and using sex to “control” men. And attached to this is presenting “The Hippies” as foreign; not only from another place, but refusing to assimilate with the LA way of life and hostile to it. The Manson family are the only explicitly identified “Hippies” in the film(other than, possibly, the one who sells Cliff an acid cig). The only “positive” portrayals of Bruce Lee in the film are silent ones of him teaching anglos kung fu, which has some fairly obvs and well-understood Implications.

But there’s also good evidence for reading it as subverted and satirized. Both Tate and Dalton are NOT from California, let alone LA, and Booth’s origins are left unclear. Dalton’s the only one of them explicitly id’d as being from elsewhere(Missouri), but Tate’s easy to google and she was a military kid who grew up all over the place. When Dalton returns from Italy, that sequence and his look in it are VERY reminiscent of the scenes introducing Polanski at the beginning of the film. The side-characters around Tate, perennially shown in a positive light, are also non-Angelenos. Doing Spaghetti Westerns revitalizes Dalton’s career, despite his disdain for Italian cinema. Tate and her crew, while not explicitly ID’d as “Hippies” and often shown in Mod and other fashion styles, are also presented in “Hippie” fashion, shown listening to “Hippie” music, smoking the “Hippie” Reefer(Im sorry, but Comedy Demanded this phrasing and I am Devout u_u), and implied to be living a polyamorous “Hippie” life.

It really is difficult for me to say which predominates. On the one entirely metaphorical hand, the ways in which Dalton’s Angeleno chauvinism are subverted and mocked are fairly obvs, but on the other emh, the film is FILLED with LITERALLY GLOWING nostalgia for this pre-Hippy, pre-Lefty, pre-70s, Conservative and Republican California&Los Angeles. Dalton’s focus on property-ownership&the film industry in the opening thesis could easily be seen as resolving these subversive contradictions to allow for a straight read(ie: Tate, Booth, and Dalton are “Hollywood People” who’ve both bought real-estate in LA, and who’ve grown up in film or film-adjacent fields and choose to center their adult lives in the film industry). So much, in fact, that I kinda started to wonder abt QT’s politics while watching it. And, if it WAS satirical, then what’s the point of the knock to Bruce Lee and focusing criticisms of Polanski on his Polishness and shooting in London? Is that just meant to characterize Dalton and Booth as nativists and racists?

It really cannot be said enough that there are REALLY MORE APPROPRIATE CRITICISMS to make of Polanski than 1)begin Polish, 2)possessing boyish effeminacy, and 3)preferring to shoot movies in London instead of LA. Which are this movie’s only problems with him(though it also takes the time to show him bitchily smoking a cigarette in an evening gown while being rude to a dog). Obvsl I dont object to villainizing an ACTUAL REAL LIFE VILLAIN like this shitstain, but I DO object to being asked(albeit gently) to participate in this film’s understated nationalist bigotry.

It’s possible that Cliff’s turning Pussycat down during the drive to the ranch was intended to be this but I highly doubt it. And if it was it’d be misrepresenting Polanski’s misdeeds enormously, considering that Pussycat, the too-young girl, is the sexual instigator in this film. Polanski liked to manipulate, drug, and rape underaged girls(he pulled the same shit with models in Europe before getting busted for it in LA, btw, then continued doing it after fleeing back to Europe); really not the same situation.

There’s another irony in that, while the film goes out of its way to call Polanski “boyish” and imply that makes him feminine and that this is Bad, there’s also a subtle under-current that... Tarentino sees himself in his youth the same way? He’s certainly never been short like Polanski and Jay Sebring are/were, QT’s 6 1, but the actors he cast to play them and the description made of the pair in-film are more than a bit reminiscent of how Tarentino looked&was discussed in the press back in the 90s when he was starting out. AAAaaand the film explicitly calls that Tate’s “Type”; leaving me with the question: would Tarentino be able to stop himself from implying a dead starlet would have been attracted to him? I leave the answer to your imaginations, Dear Readers u_u

Having said all that it IS a really good film, which I liked, I dont think it’d be very hard to set aside this political stuff while watching, the driving sequences are especially emotive&exhilarating, and there’s some seriously great acting in it. IDK if I’d say I liked it more than the recent Emma movie, tho.

I feel like each of the trio, Tate, Dalton, and Booth, were meant to symbolically Embody LA/Hollywood/California? Like Pitt especially seemed to be channeling movie characters and CJ from GTA: San Andreas throughout his performance, while I couldnt help but think of Ronald Reagan watching DiCaprio(spcl given the character’s likely politics). So there’s this sense in which the film is a fantasy of “Old Hollywood”, embodied by these three, Vanquishing its “Enemies”, represented by The Hippies(moralizing, pretentious, gross leftist) and potentially Polanski&Lee(foreign film ppl who refuse to integrate into the LA scene). Again, given the political history of Cali after this era, this embodiment raises some questions for me abt the film and QT’s politics(particularly in re: misogyny and feminism).

Also DiCaprio is totally going to get pitched a Reagan biopic off of this role and I sincerely hope he has the good sense to turn that shit the fuck down.

Circling back to the ranting at his critics, this movie was definitely and consciously a response to them. Like: up until the last 5-15 minutes of the film, and aside from a handful of too-lingering too fetishistic too on-the-nose creep shots of the female cast that Tarentino simply could not stop himself from making, OUATiH is precisely the sort of “Serious” film Tarentino’s critics have been saying he should make for decades now(of course he did Jackie Brown, which was that and which he blew Completely out of the park). And then there’s that bloody, gross-out, exploitation-movie ending. I dont actually think it was as bad as many critics were saying it was? For some reason I was thinking there was gonna be a massacre of the ENTIRE Manson family, which would have been totally out of left-field. But it WAS clearly a stinger of a major tone-shift thrown in as a Fuck You to the ppl who’ve called out his violent and exploitative preferences throughout the years. As for me I generally like his movies and think he’s a great filmmaker but he absolutely does go too far sometimes.

Rick Dalton, in an evening-gown, with a mixer full of iced-margarita in one hand, getting all up in the face of the driver of a loud exhaust-spewing jalope in his PRIVATE STREET was TOTALLY Tarentino himself :| By which I mean NOT ONLY that That’s ABSOLUTELY the sort of cameo he would have given himself 30 years ago and if it made any sort of sense at all in the film(which here it wouldnt have, obvsl), BUT ALSO that I feel 94% confident that Tarentino has actually done that at least once in his lifetime :| :|

I think the monologue&interactions T gives Bruce Lee leading up to the fight were probably more insulting to him than the fight itself. Contrary to popular discussion, it isn’t Pitt’s character totally trashing Lee, he gets in one good throw after Lee repeats a successful attack at his request(which I doubt Lee would have ever done from what little I know about him; not being predictable in a fight was his whole Deal), but rather an even duel between them(most of the fight is just the two blocking each others’ attacks). I dont think the film was trying to say “Lee was full of hot-air”, if it wanted to say that it’d have shown him getting trounced instead of showing him knock Booth down then trade him blow for blow, but more “Lee was pretty arrogant and a bit pretentious”.

OK, that’s abt all that I can think of right now: thanks for reading ^v^

Can you tell us more about your pacific rim au? 👀

I’m sorry it took a while to reply!

I was thinking to make a post about it, but since I got an ask, let’s just post it here!

So yeah! This is just some brief ideas about the pacific rim au me and my friend @amekakushii made;

SP (Creek) Pacific Rim AU

-Craig and Tweek were not really friendly with each other at first, like, they would bicker every time they see each other, and every time they spar, it would turn into an actual fight, someone had to get between those two

-Tweek was physically fit to be a Jaeger pilot but his anxiety issue would hold him back

-Craig was actually had piloted before with his father, but kaiju took his father’s life (i’m sorry Thomas ), thus he took a break as a pilot, now he was ready to be back and avenge his father

-one day the HQ was making this new Jaeger and Craig was assigned to be one of the pilots, when he was searching for his co-pilot, no one in the HQ was compatible with him, even his best friend Clyde

-until he sparred with Tweek; he realized that their power was on par with each other, and at that moment Craig just knew he was compatible with him

-Craig was disliking this idea of Tweek becoming his co-pilot (due to their unfriendliness with each other) but he missed the battlefield and he wanted to get back in the Jaeger no matter what, so he told the Marshall that Tweek should be the one piloting the Jaeger with him

-Tweek was happy he got the chance to get into the new Jaeger but of course he also despised the idea of piloting with Craig but it was his only chance so he had no choice but to work with Craig

-So they partnered up for training for the new Jaeger! Insert montages of Craig and Tweek bicker while training, during break time, when they just conversed with each other—that somehow lead them to understand each other better, helping each other overcome their own weaknesses, realized that the other person was not as insufferable as they thought he was, and eventually grew romantic feelings for each other little by little!

Bonus:

-when they were in the headspace, since they shared their minds and moods, Tweek would be calmer and not as twitchy as he usually was (and Tweek liked it when he ghost-drifted and he felt Craig’s calmer emotion in him, it probably would help him sleep better)

-there would probably angst ensued when they first drifted together and saw each other’s past u_u

-since they could ghostdrift, Craig would randomly twitch at times, and Tweek could randomly (and unconciously) flip people off 

-they would sneak out from the hq with their Jaeger on calm nights not to fight kaiju but just to go stargazing :”)

-Craig didnt like coffee but since he drifted with Tweek he started drinking it

P.S: I actually only watched the first Pacific Rim movie once so there are probably some inaccuracies here and there;;

[transpepsi]

ooooohohoho 3, 4, and/or 5 with sikey? 👀

3. What is the meaning behind their name? Do they have any nicknames?

- OH OKAY FUN STORY IN REAL LIFE HER NAME ORIGINATED FROM A TV SHOW AKDFKDFSDF i made sikey when i was like, 9, and around that time i was SUPER into this tv show called Psych so i named my oc (at the time she was my fursona fffffffff) “Psych-ey” but because i didnt know how to spell correctly yet i typed it out phonetically and thus………. sikey 

in her actual storyline though im still playing around with the origins of her name but one idea i REALLY enjoy is that she n her brother (who r both trans) came out at the same time and bc they were like, 12 + 14 (hes 2 years older than her) and like ATTACHED at the hip they thought itd be funny/cool to have matching names and somehow got to Sikey + Ziker and then. just never changed that SKSKS

4. Do they have any siblings? How many? Are they older or younger?  Which sibling are they the closest with?

- YEAH she has one older brother named Ziker !!!! theyre very close to each other and were like, best friends growing up throughout school (and even when sikey moved to summerdell for college, ziker followed soon after and ended up getting a job as a bartender at the bar/club hollyanne runs (that sikey also works at hsfdkjsdfsd basically theyre just like. buds for life bc they grew up in a very tight knit family bc it was just them and their single mom) !!! i need to post more stuff of ziker bc hes another really old oc (ive had him since like. 2012 or something like its been a Hot Minute) n hes a very nice young man u_u 

5. What’s their relationship with their parents like? What about other relatives?

- ALSO VERY CLOSE !!!!! carrie is sikey and zikers mom who raised these kids all on her own for their whole childhood!!!!! shes a very doting and affectionate mom and while the family wasnt swimming in luxury, carrie always did what was best for her kids. sikeys still pretty close to carrie and keeps in touch with her, but carrie didnt move with her to summerdell and instead remained in sikey+zikers childhood home !!!!! besides the distance the familys still rather closely knit !!

[kay-the-seagull]

c-can we hear your crow ocs story? 🥺

omg yes???? hjdfbjhsbdjs thank you for asking I'm so glad you're interested, I'll try to keep it short BUT I'll just break it down:

Roisin is not a local to the village- she was born and raised in Galway Ireland.

She has ADHD and some anger-management issues, but is generally pretty extroverted and happy around others. 

She has a younger sister she's really close to.

Her mother was unfaithful to her father, but they didn't divorce because of their beliefs and it made it REAL awkward in that house as she grew up.

She became a musician (singing and the violin are her favorites) and had been a professional for around 20 years by the time she got to the village.

Eventually her sister took off (Roisin never found out exactly WHY but she had her suspicions) and she decided to go off and find her.

She went to the village because she had some relatives in the area and suspected her sister went to go stay with them.

She disguised herself as a guy and took a job delivering mail to the village and the surrounding area so it'd make it easier for her to stick around and snoop while also uuuuuuh reading any relevant letters.

Through her disguise she kinda realized she was genderfluid, but put it to the back of her mind since there was so much else going on.

She would go and play in the local village pub at the end of each day as a way to unwind and make more connections with the people there to be better informed.

Once stuff started getting serious with Miranda, she started to get really afraid, at one point reading a correspondence between her and a devout member of her cult- she ended up knowing too much and was targeted by Miranda for experimentation.

She had a unique genetic resistance to the Cadou, which allowed her to maintain her mind for the most part, but that same resistance also causes her daily agony since her body is in a constant state of healing and breaking apart again. This also makes her short-term memory even worse than it was- her long term is just fine though, unfortunately for her. 8>

Roisin took up residence in an abandoned house past the tree line of one of the villages mountains where she began to make friends with the crows since the villagers were pretty fearful of her now.

She could resist the feral violence the black mold gave the lycans for the most part, but she would slip-up randomly and sometimes end up killing random folks.

Roisin became a courier between the lords since she was much faster than any of the lycans- not for Miranda though. Miranda didn't need her as much and wouldn't let her touch her stuff anyways tbh.

Sometimes once her work is done, she plays her violin up on her mountain to help stay grounded and remind herself of who she was before all this.

Once Ethan comes to the village, the lords and Miranda essentially drop her since they don't really need her anymore. Roisin is okay with this and she decides to leave cashes of supplies and notes that she stole from the lords over the years to help him get back his baby.

She has a few different endings to her story: Either she asks Ethan to kill her during the mid-game, or she goes on to finally face Miranda with him and dies somewhere between the battle or she stays with Ethan as he pulls the trigger. u_u

Ehi girls, I wanted to thank you all, you're amazing! Two years ago when I was at the movie theater I started to ship raylo just a bit but when K. killed Han my expetations for this ship were killed too. Now me and my BF are 100% raylo trash but after few week online on tumblr shipping this I was feeling so depressened 'couse there are a lot of really rude anti and a lot of them were really mean in a way I never seen on other ship I ship. You are really one of the best thing in this fandom.

Regarding the ants: meh. 

We talked about this a little in our Reylo Fandom: The New Star Wars Rebels podcast episode. We started out as part of the original Reylo thread at a place that shall not be named. Just crawling with ants. We would stay up all night talking about what we’d seen in TFA, confirming with each other that we weren’t crazy, breaking down the scenes, reading meta from Tumblr, pooling knowledge from our various backgrounds: art, literature, film, psychology, other fandoms, people with eyes and common sense, etc. What was happening there was awesome. Then ants started to drop in to try to get a rise out of us with their lame arguments, their narrow views, their low-key or outright sexism. 

It was annoying to hear stuff like “Your argument is invalid because this isn’t 50 Shades of Rey” or “But …but…muh Reywalker! How dare you??”or “You women only care about romance bla bla bla!” (Especially annoying because we had some smart and awesome dudes there, it wasn’t just women!)

But you know what, that stuff also really helped us. It’s like we understood collectively that we had to be in top form because we felt we were representing Reylo to the larger Star Wars community there. The ants trying to antagonize us and dismiss our point of view actually made us hone our arguments, they made us think through the flaws in our logic, and do our best to minimize our bias when looking at what was shown in TFA. They also helped us to develop thicker skin when it came to dealing with their pettiness. 

Most importantly, we also grew closer as a community, and when our home got condemned, essentially, and we realized it was time to move on from there we flew away like a majestic fucking butterfly -  leaving behind a shriveled, empty cocoon. So whatever. u_u

Ahem. After all that salt:

Stay positive, Reylo friend. There’s so much good stuff going on in the fandom and the Reylo train is going full speed ahead - like literally, cause the Reylo train is a thing! What a time to be alive. XD  

And thank you so much for your kind words. We love talking about Star Wars;  even if no one listened or cared about what we had to say we’d still have fun with it. Still, the fact that people out there say they appreciate what we’re doing, like you with your comment - well damn. It really means a lot to us.
